negativeneil

Ummm, hi?

12:20 am

jmcnrick

hi neil

12:20 am

uusue2

means it has spread - they think that's the stage because it appears to be in both his large and small intestine (in a region where they are close together)

12:20 am

Altagolfnut5

hey Neil:)

12:20 am

12:25 am

negativeneil

Hi jmc, Karen, smores and Sue.

12:25 am

jillibus

Babble is a wonderful place. I sent the link from Marial (NJ resident) about out-of-town voting to my old friends last night. They are not babblers but sent an email from their hotel in PA to thank her for the fact that they now knew what to do about voting by email. Babble is so much more than agame, as I've said many times.

12:26 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Sorry but Obama in makes me very very happy. Is there word on what base the senate is yet?

Senate is even more democrat, herin, BUT congress is still Rebublican -- hope not as stubborn as before.

12:29 am

smores

me too herin, only reason I'm up right now...lol

12:29 am

herinfernallady

Congress sorry. Not terribly good with the terms of the USA politics

12:29 am

negativeneil

Hi, jilli?

12:31 am

jillibus

Hi liz

12:31 am

smores

lol..that congress isn't as stubborn

12:31 am

jillibus

I think most of the world is rejoicing.

12:31 am

herinfernallady

I am finding it purely wonderful and I do hope my friend didn't die knowing that others like him will be able to not be alone and marry whom they want gender wise. This is my hope for Aus politics

12:31 am

jillibus

oh yes, smores, lol

12:31 am

negativeneil

No doubt. psst... see last update for today, so far.

12:32 am

cybernan

12:44 am

negativeneil

Just came up for a little air.

12:45 am

negativeneil

And... tea. Or maybe hot chocolate?

12:46 am

herinfernallady

I got it online.

12:46 am

jillibus

great, herin

12:46 am

herinfernallady

As our tv is stupid. I swear I am bawling as this is so creaking awesome.

12:47 am

jillibus

I have wet eyes too

12:47 am

herinfernallady

I am watching a live stream on the net

12:48 am

mich_pdx

mich_pdx

very proud of our president

12:48 am

jillibus

what a wonderful world when we are all so close

12:48 am

herinfernallady

My sister is or was in the military. She has lost three of her troops in Afghanistan.

12:49 am

negativeneil

Live stream of his acceptance/victory speech:

http://tinyurl.com/b58akbc

12:49 am

mich_pdx

yep, australia, canada and us, all moved at the same rousing speech

12:49 am

herinfernallady

I have it from the Sydney herald paper. cNn doesn't allow outside cast

12:49 am

jillibus

proud to be a BritAMERICanadian

12:50 am

MitchDick

fireworks

12:50 am

negativeneil

Actually here's a better link to the direct podcast:

http://www.ustream.tv/channe\nl/522594

12:50 am

jillibus

nice, Mitch

12:50 am

negativeneil

So you don't have to scroll down a page to see it.

12:50 am

herinfernallady

Too me il when gay marriage is allowed maybe Aus can get with the programe.

12:50 am

negativeneil

Ugh. Remove that "\n" first.

12:50 am

negativeneil

i don't know why Babble adds that.

12:50 am

negativeneil

Yes, herin.

12:51 am

negativeneil

That's an issue rather "close to home" here.

12:51 am

jillibus

gay marrige is ok in enlightened Canada

12:52 am

herinfernallady

My best friend told me 'if I turn 30 and I am alone that is it I am done' he died alone at 29. I badly want gay marriage to became legal. Then My sister and my friends can get married to their girlfriends

12:54 am

herinfernallady

I also want to see former great cities like Detriot return to greatness.

12:58 am

negativeneil

As it should be everywhere jilli.

12:59 am

mich_pdx

inclusion! hope! opportunity!

12:59 am

negativeneil

Exactly!

12:59 am

smores

Wow - awesome!!!

1:00 am

jillibus

Great spreech. Great man. Great country. Great hope for all.

1:00 am

negativeneil

Yes.

1:01 am

Erda

Wow -- that was some speech!!!

1:01 am

smores

aww herin, so sorry about your friend

1:02 am

negativeneil

It sure was, Erda. :)

1:02 am

Erda

Hi Neil!!

1:03 am

smores

the only thing that couldve make the speech better was if it was a couple hours ago...lol

1:03 am

smores

I reeeally need to get some sleep

1:03 am

negativeneil

Hi Erda! :)

1:04 am

negativeneil

Haha, smores.

1:04 am

negativeneil

Yeah, pretty late if you're on the east coast.

1:04 am

smores

midwest - 2am

1:04 am

negativeneil

Late enough here now. *yawn*

1:04 am

jillibus

I don't want to hear any pundits give any critiques of this wonderful speech.

1:04 am

negativeneil

Oh I see.

1:04 am

herinfernallady

Smores he had problems but if one soul here gets to find and are legally able to join a life mate then I will be happy

1:04 am

smores

alarm goes off at 6:45 :(

1:05 am

negativeneil

Ours goes off even earlier. Ugh.

1:05 am

herinfernallady

Well i am fairly sure bosses will be forgiving for being late

1:05 am

mich_pdx

get thee to bed, ms smores and dream sugarplum dreams !

1:05 am

jillibus

herin, that's so sad about your friend -- and many others who have suffered fro being themselves

1:06 am

negativeneil

Yes, it sure is.

1:06 am

negativeneil

Hits very close to home... obviously.

1:06 am

jillibus

of course, neil.

1:07 am

rururocks

*waves to the crowd*

1:07 am

smores

doesnt matter "for or against" why the hell is it anyone elses business

1:07 am

mich_pdx

the old-fashioned idea that marriage is about procreation as well as financial support is archaic. Marriage should be about mutual support of two individuals who choose to love each other and create a family unit.

1:08 am

mich_pdx

in my opinion, of course ;)

1:08 am

herinfernallady

Hi RU

1:08 am

herinfernallady

I may stop being teary and shaking soon

1:09 am

rururocks

i concur with you mich

1:09 am

rururocks

well said

1:09 am

jillibus

I just toasted him in a tiny bit of brandy -- a rare thing for me to do, because he is a rare example of an excellent human being.

1:09 am

smores

never understood the whole " well I think...." who cares what you think, let people be

1:09 am

mich_pdx

oh Jilli, you are such a dear

1:10 am

negativeneil

ru?

1:10 am

negativeneil

I asked you something on GT.

1:10 am

rururocks

yes.. Hi

1:10 am

herinfernallady

Jill unlike some people that commit suicide at least I got a good bye from him. He is at peace now with his demons. I just desperately want gay marriage to be recognised in Aus.

1:10 am

rururocks

i'm not on GT

1:10 am

jillibus

There are many of my ancient friends who have married late in life, so "marriage is ordained for the procreation of children" is laughable.

1:10 am

negativeneil

No kidding. Something wrong?

1:11 am

negativeneil

You just suddenly left there earlier.

1:11 am

rururocks

no.. just got here late watching the election stuff

1:11 am

rururocks

I wanted to see the results

1:11 am

negativeneil

Sorry to hear about your friend herin... what happened to him?

1:11 am

jillibus

hello ruru -- I do hope you're happy with the result

1:12 am

negativeneil

Yes. I mean when you were on earlier, ru? Oh... check the last of my updates for today, btw.

1:12 am

Christine

Jillibus, I was just about to make that point - about procration. However, when I had my flu shot last month, one of the questions asked was 'are you pregnant' - must have that special glow about me.

1:12 am

negativeneil

That was some speech ru... did you catch it?

1:12 am

rururocks

yes.. it was pretty good

1:13 am

rururocks

Romney was reeling

1:13 am

negativeneil

And yes to what you said about marriage for procreation, jilli... exactly.

1:13 am

jillibus

oh, how lovely, Christine!

1:13 am

rururocks

he couldn't believe he lost

1:13 am

negativeneil

Yep. :)

1:13 am

herinfernallady

He had bipolar. He was a gay man. He had his demons. His father never accepted him. He had two sides. His family which knew little of his friends. I knew both worlds. He said he was sorry to hurt me and that was his goodbye. I am blessed that he was here for the 10 years I knew him. I am blessed that Gay Rights has come along a long way.

1:14 am

negativeneil

You mean he took his own life? :(

1:14 am

rururocks

uh.. what?

1:14 am

negativeneil

Yes herin... so are a lot of us.

1:15 am

herinfernallady

Yes he did

1:15 am

negativeneil

[glad/blessed that gay rights has come a long way]

1:15 am

negativeneil

Still has a way to go yet though.

1:16 am

negativeneil

Oh no herin... that's awful. :(

1:16 am

negativeneil

We knew someone who did that too, not that long ago. Kinda hard to process.

1:17 am

herinfernallady

Awful yes but he did it because he was in pain. I understand that yes incredibly selfish but sometimes life just doesn't work

1:18 am

herinfernallady

And that is why Obama winning is so darn moving for me. Maybe Aus can wake up and have equal rights for all

1:18 am

negativeneil

Well I think it's tragic that he took that route instead of finding a way or ways to make it work.

1:18 am

mich_pdx

we all wish that for you and your countrymen, herin

1:18 am

negativeneil

Yes, sure hope so.

1:19 am

mich_pdx

on that note, I'm knackered. Good night and have a happy tomorrow

1:19 am

negativeneil

Night, mich.

1:19 am

herinfernallady

Neil He was ill.

1:19 am

smores

a minister friend of mine was once approached by a rather extreme individual after a conference and asked " what about this bi-racial crap, God don't want people of different races marrying, you don't marry different races do you?"

1:19 am

negativeneil

Happy tomorrow.

1:20 am

negativeneil

Oh, seriously ill.. no hope?

1:20 am

jillibus

omg smores

1:20 am

negativeneil

You're kidding, smores? Wow. :(

1:20 am

herinfernallady

Yep Neil

1:20 am

herinfernallady

WOW Smores.

1:20 am

jillibus

neil, herin said he was bipolar

1:20 am

negativeneil

I'll never understand that "thinking". EVER.

1:20 am

herinfernallady

Why do I feel that Obama's speech is up there with MLK

1:21 am

smores

my friend politely answered " I've never married anyone that wasn't apart of the human race"

1:21 am

jillibus

because it is, herin

1:21 am

rururocks

because their both black?

1:21 am

negativeneil

Yes, jilli. I wondered if she meant he was physically ill as well though? But that can be very debilitating.

1:21 am

negativeneil

"they're" ;)

1:21 am

rururocks

sorry

1:21 am

negativeneil

Good for your friend, smores.

1:21 am

jillibus

not funny, ruru

1:22 am

rururocks

they're

1:22 am

herinfernallady

Ru tsk tsk. Obama is a latte man MLK was dark milk kind of guy. Both delicious to listen too.

1:23 am

smores

lol..herin

1:23 am

rururocks

I'm sorry, but Obama's speech was really good, it wasn't another I had a dream speech

1:25 am

herinfernallady

No it wasn't but it was once again memoriable. The kind of 'getting shite done like a boss sort of speech

1:25 am

negativeneil

Agreed, ru.

1:25 am

herinfernallady

Neil are you on FB?

1:25 am

jillibus

Not quite, maybe, but it did give a glimpse of Obama's dream for a newer America and world.

1:25 am

rururocks

..here's hopin.. jilli

1:26 am

negativeneil

I am but I don't connect with anyone there, herin. I don't use FB at all, because of the security risk it is. I emptied out my page some time ago and am waiting for the rest of my college alumni to connect elsewhere, before I delete the account.

1:26 am

jillibus

I just hope that awful Congress will let it be, let it be...

1:27 am

rururocks

I'm game for a newer america

1:27 am

herinfernallady

Ok

1:27 am

smores

let's hope so jilli

1:27 am

rururocks

i'm sorry about your friend herin

1:27 am

rururocks

suicide is an aggressive act though

1:28 am

rururocks

he must have been in a lot of pain

1:28 am

herinfernallady

Ru I said it because when someone says that 'gay marriage is legalised' I think 'good because people should have rights regardless of whom they want to marry

1:28 am

negativeneil

Yes. He must've been. Like the person we knew who just did that several months ago.

1:29 am

negativeneil

Of course they should.

1:29 am

rururocks

I think Gay people should be allowed to get married

1:29 am

negativeneil

I can't understand anyone thinking they shouldn't.

1:29 am

negativeneil

No kidding ru.

1:29 am

rururocks

It's incredible that it isn't legal in our whole country

1:29 am

negativeneil

What is it to anyone else if they want to marry? How does that affect other people?

1:30 am

negativeneil

Isn't it though?

1:30 am

herinfernallady

He died in 2005 and I understood him and his demons. Mental illness is as insidious as cancer yet because it is on the inside and not that understood

1:30 am

negativeneil

Speaking of which... it's my brother and his b/f's 2 year anniversary of being together, today. Or was... since today's nearly over now.

1:31 am

negativeneil

Yes herin, I think that's very true.

1:31 am

AWWW. When is he coming to Aus or is he here already?

rururocks

Bi-polar is a tough one herin

1:31 am

negativeneil

Because it's mental and not physical, so much less is understood about it.

1:31 am

negativeneil

He was just there not too long ago.

1:31 am

rururocks

high functioning and then deep depression

1:32 am

negativeneil

Twice, in fact.

1:33 am

herinfernallady

I find it best to describe bi polar as that kid you knew as a kid that would race about high as a kite on red drinks then crash out. We all had one of those friends as a kid

1:33 am

we have a close friend who is bi-polar..

1:34 am

rururocks

I've learned a lot from him

1:34 am

negativeneil

And that was on August 22, herin.

1:34 am

herinfernallady

Tell the brother Neil that Melbourne has better coffee than Sydney.

1:35 am

negativeneil

Yes. They go from extremes... manically happy, to manically depressed.

Happy Anniversary to Adam and his BF

1:35 am

herinfernallady

Aww he has dyed his hair blonde

1:35 am

negativeneil

He was just in Melbourne a few weeks ago, after New Zealand.

1:35 am

negativeneil

He did, but it's mostly grown back now. It grows fast!

1:36 am

herinfernallady

I vaguely remember there was an event he was signing at (i have enough troubles remembering what day it is sometimes)

1:36 am

negativeneil

It's mostly dark now with the blonde at the ends [top] creating "highlights".

1:36 am

negativeneil

There would have been several.

1:37 am

negativeneil

I wasn't there. I'm not working on this one... I just started a full-time job here not that long ago.

1:37 am

herinfernallady

Singing not signing. Bah

1:37 am

negativeneil

Oh, haha. Well he does that too [signing]. :P

1:38 am

herinfernallady

I do think there was a few girls having a good scream when every he makes an appearance.

1:40 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah. *rollseyes*

1:40 am

herinfernallady

Dont you just love over enthusiastic teen girls screaming (not)

Wow smores, thought you were gone already?

I think you saw it before?

1:43 am

1:43 am

Morning all. 370, really? Wish this one had been saved for a weekend!

And good night jilli... but you're probably gone.

1:43 am

Bore da Glantarell. And yep... 370 of them.

1:44 am

negativeneil

Have FUN. I know I did. ;)

1:44 am

Glantarell

Are you happy with the result of *whispers* the elction?

1:45 am

negativeneil

You know it. Check my updates for today... on profile.

1:45 am

herinfernallady

Neil. I used to work in security. I found it so amusing when there was these really hot girls in a VIP room and a few D list celebrities. The guys couldn't keep their eyes in their head and were made to go else where. All the while I get a massive bear hug from an ex footballer and they got all jealous. I was like 'huh' who is that'

1:46 am

herinfernallady

Did also met Bill Hunter a few years back and he was lovely. I tend to turn into a complete idiot around awesome people

1:47 am

Glantarell

today's update isn't showing Neil. Perhaps it will later when I open up babble a second time.

1:47 am

herinfernallady

Hi Glant too

1:48 am

Glantarell

Hi Herin, long time no see

1:49 am

Hi. I have been lurking

You have to scroll down a little, Glant... Nov. 6.

1:50 am

rururocks

sinking your teeth into the grid glant?

1:50 am

Glantarell

ah, i was looking for 7th, so didn;t read 6th LOL

1:50 am

negativeneil

Careful. It may bite back.

1:50 am

Glantarell

chomping away ruru

1:51 am

negativeneil

I meant "yesterday" now I guess... to you. Not to us for another 8 minutes.

1:51 am

rururocks

as long as you're not an indentured servant

1:51 am

negativeneil

Ugh. :P

1:51 am

Glantarell

Not yet indentured :-)

1:51 am

negativeneil

I think ru's tired. ;)

1:52 am

negativeneil

I know I am. *yawn*

1:52 am

herinfernallady

I have yet to put one word in

1:52 am

Glantarell

I just got up LOL but have to go to work soon. Fresh coffee and babble for breakfast first.

1:53 am

negativeneil

No way, herin?

1:53 am

Glantarell

26 for me so far Herin. Are you scared of starting LOL

1:53 am

herinfernallady

Yep way. too busy farting about. I just got 9 then

1:54 am

rururocks

*opens herin's windows*

1:54 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok. I was gonna say, there's a lot of very easy to find words in this one.

1:54 am

negativeneil

Haha, ru.

1:54 am

herinfernallady

Ru that would mean I would be then a fart in a bottle and just fluffing about. I am really not thinking. My shoulder is being annoying

1:54 am

negativeneil

*sprays Febreeze around*

1:54 am

negativeneil

Or is it "Febreze"? Yeah, think that's it.

1:55 am

Glantarell

what's the matter with your shoulder?

1:55 am

Glantarell

Farteze

1:55 am

rururocks

fart in a bottle would be a nifty trick

1:55 am

negativeneil

Hahahahaha!!! Good one, Glant. ;)

1:55 am

negativeneil

Don't light a match to it.

Maine and Maryland approved same-sex marriage at the polls, and it's looking like it'll pass in Washington state too. :)

1:56 am

rururocks

yeah Maryland

1:56 am

herinfernallady

Sitting wrong on a very comfy chair is the problem. I get badly comfortable. Like when a cat bends in directions it really doesn't look right but is

1:56 am

Glantarell

I can see my problem with this grid is going to be missing the plurals (again)

1:57 am

cosdem

the ban in Minnesoita failed. WA - it won . vicory in all4 states

1:57 am

dcseain

oh, so good news from MN too :D

1:57 am

Glantarell

What did they try to ban in Minnesota?

1:57 am

negativeneil

Hey Seain. :)

1:57 am

cosdem

carol shea porter is returning to conrgess :)

1:57 am

glan: gay marriage

1:57 am

Glantarell

Banning things is never a brilliant idea, just brings out the stubborn in people

1:58 am

dcseain

evening, neil

1:58 am

negativeneil

Well especially things people should naturally have the right to do. Duh.

1:58 am

negativeneil

Like anyone can help being gay?

1:58 am

Glantarell

i don;t see why two people who want to make a legal commitment to each other should be prohibited. Sex, gender, colour should not affect it.

1:58 am

Lizlin

glad to see some states coming to their senses. Hope many more will - here too

1:58 am

rururocks

no kidding even Minnesota fans run around in horns and loin clothes

1:58 am

negativeneil

And like there's anything wrong with being gay?

1:58 am

rururocks

cloths

1:58 am

dcseain

I live in Virginia, which has such a ban, in Article 1, Section 15A of the Constitution of the Commonwealth, alas.

1:59 am

negativeneil

I don't understand why any straight person would have a problem with that... what is it to them? [speaking as a straight person, with a gay sibling]

1:59 am

Glantarell

Nothing wrong with being gay, bisexual, transexual or any other orientation - we are all people after all

1:59 am

rururocks

It's kind of like CIvil rights all over again

2:00 am

Glantarell

yup

2:00 am

dcseain

indeed, ruru

lyrical clue nobody asked for:

2:01 am

Saloon, Saloon, Saloon.
It runs through my brain like a tune.
I don't like cafe, And I hate cabaret,
But just mention saloon and my cares fade away.
For it brings back a fond recollection
of a little old low ceiling room.
With a bar, and a rail, and a dime, and a pail.
Saloon, saloon, saloon.

Glantarell

i like it

2:02 am

rururocks

Oh wait.. we don't have a PB any more

2:02 am

Glantarell

i think we should - io kinda liked it in there

2:03 am

negativeneil

No kidding, Glantarell... to what you said at 1:59.

2:03 am

Glantarell

and i was in thee often enough :-)

2:03 am

*head hung in shame* - I'll pass thru PB on my way to workIt's a grand old song, though.

2:03 am

We don't, ru? Did someone blow it up?

well, it's 3AM -- i should sleep. A friend died, so our household his attending a memorial for her tomorrow, so i should be up at a reasonablish hour.

helensgirlkid

We had a penalty box just the day before yesterday - Dee assured us that there werer Heath bars and malted milk balls in it!

2:03 am

herinfernallady

Because you all know that allowing Gay people to marry is the end of the world and civilisation. But it is ok for a Kadashian whore to crap all over the sanctity of marriage or for a politician to have numerous affairs..'

2:04 am

Glantarell

the food (and drink, and cabana boys) was why I liked it liz

2:04 am

rururocks

wow.. gay marriage and kim kardashian in the same sentence

2:05 am

herinfernallady

You know I am jus saying

2:05 am

Glantarell

if I knew who kim kardashian was i might understand that remark - sounds like a character form star trek

2:05 am

rururocks

If I had to marry Kim kardashian ..i'd probably be gay

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Glant she is another reality tv vapid waste of air

2:06 am

rururocks

kim kardashian is americas answer to Posh spice glant

2:07 am

herinfernallady

But Kim has a really nice butt

2:07 am

Glantarell

i don't do reality tv, as you probably gathered. in fact i don't have a tv, i watch the occasional show on the web

2:07 am

rururocks

*bought them*

2:07 am

herinfernallady

My tv is mostly used as a pc monitor.

2:09 am

Glantarell

my laptop screen is occasionally used as a tv ;-O

2:09 am

Glantarell

i object to paying Â£150 a year to own a tv

2:09 am

negativeneil

Our TV was just for watching DVDs until we recently got cable... since we're both working again.

2:10 am

negativeneil

And until we bot the cable hooked up we watched occasional shows online.

2:10 am

herinfernallady

How does that work Glant?

2:10 am

negativeneil

Holy crap, Glantarell? That's ridiculous.

2:11 am

rururocks

okay.. i'm tossing in the towel for tonight

2:11 am

negativeneil

It's the TV license thing they have in the UK.

2:11 am

rururocks

good night all

2:11 am

negativeneil

I wouldn't pay it.

2:11 am

Glantarell

they use the 'licence fee' to subsidise the BBC

2:11 am

negativeneil

Yeah I have to head to bed in a few myself.

2:11 am

Glantarell

you have to pay it if you 'watch tv as it is braodcast, on any device'

2:11 am

negativeneil

Night ru.

2:11 am

herinfernallady

So you don't have free tv?

2:11 am

Glantarell

night ruru

2:11 am

herinfernallady

Night Ru

2:11 am

Jivingjenny0

can i please have a clue for the 8 and 9s

2:11 am

negativeneil

Ha. Then I'd watch it as it's broadcast... online.

2:12 am

negativeneil

You can watch livestreams of many shows now.

2:12 am

Glantarell

if they catch you they take you to court and the fine can be Â£1000

2:12 am

Glantarell

livestream is what is illegal

2:12 am

Glantarell

they have been to see me several times but i am refuing to let them into my house without a warrant

2:13 am

negativeneil

co8,75 -- co + "to worry", plural and with double 1st consonant. Can't think how else to clue that.

2:13 am

negativeneil

It is, Glant? Wow.

2:13 am

Glantarell

i've told them i have no tv (shock, horror, unheard of) and don;t watch live tv on any device

2:13 am

negativeneil

Not here. I've watched a lot of shows online that way for free.

2:13 am

negativeneil

It depends. Some TV stations actually broadcast a live stream of whatever they're airing.

2:13 am

Glantarell

the letters they send are really threatening

2:13 am

negativeneil

Geez. :/

2:14 am

Glantarell

i have got a stubborn on wth them now

2:14 am

negativeneil

But here we don't pay a TV license... maybe that's why they don't do that here, but do there?

2:14 am

negativeneil

We just pay for the cable service we get.

2:14 am

Glantarell

so i am polite when they call but they treat you as guilty until proven innocent

2:15 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks neil

2:15 am

negativeneil

What, they've been suspecting/accusing you?

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Sigh I have to house hunt again. After this house got all sorted

2:15 am

Glantarell

i have pointed out that i don't have to tell anybody i don;t have a fishing rod, gun, car, or any other thing which needs a licence here, why should i have to prove i have no tv?

2:15 am

negativeneil

You have to move, herin?

2:15 am

Glantarell

sorry to hear that herin

2:15 am

negativeneil

Yeah really Glant? That's ridiculous.

2:16 am

Glantarell

it is

2:16 am

negativeneil

You need a license to own a fishing rod there?

2:16 am

negativeneil

Like... seriously?!

2:16 am

herinfernallady

Yep. We refuse to pay $1560 a month for here.

2:17 am

Glantarell

you need a licence to fish in most places - most of our rivers and lakes are privately owned

2:17 am

herinfernallady

Which is about $390 a month for a 3 bedroom no yard

2:17 am

negativeneil

Ouch, herin. That's even more than our rent and we're in W. Hollywood, L.A. It's a 1-bedroom apartment though, yours probably isn't?

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Nope ours is a house but no yard.

2:18 am

negativeneil

Oh I see. That's cheap for a house!

2:18 am

negativeneil

Are you looking for another house or an apartment?

2:18 am

scouser

Hi Glantarell I do not have a TV either since 1986. You just have to be careful not to watch anything labelled "Live" on internet. One time they sent me a letter I wrote back and said "come and visit my street with your detector van and see how many have TV and pay nowt. Then waste my money chasing me." Just the occasional note since and no arguments.

2:19 am

herinfernallady

What every we can find

2:19 am

Glantarell

i know exactly what the rules are scouser and i don;t break them :-)

2:19 am

negativeneil

Haha, scouser. And... hi?

2:19 am

herinfernallady

First we are going to rejig all our stuff

2:20 am

Glantarell

i am getting a letter most weeks abd have had 3 visits so far. i refuse to put it in writing to them

2:20 am

Glantarell

don't see why i should pay the cost of a stamp or phone call to them to tell them i'm law abiding

2:20 am

negativeneil

We both had to get rid of a lot of stuff before we moved in together, into this little place. But it's amazing what you accumulate after you do that... ugh. Especially SHOES. And they're not mine, either. I live with Imedla Marcos' twin. :P

2:20 am

scouser

No neither do I Glantarell. Not worth it. They must get knickers in a knot over mobile-phones though that can now pick up Live via internet?

2:21 am

negativeneil

"Imelda" even... yep, I'm tired.

2:21 am

Glantarell

they must, i don;t see how they can catch people doing that LOL

2:21 am

herinfernallady

We threw out a 4x4 metre skip last year

2:21 am

negativeneil

"Imedla?" haha.

2:21 am

Glantarell

but why would you want to watch TV on something so tiny

2:22 am

Glantarell

why can't i find the no4? i'm sure i've tried every combination LOL

2:22 am

scouser

only to see who won the election in America !?

2:22 am

negativeneil

Oh no, scouser. You get charged a fee for data usage if you pick up live internet on a cellphone.

2:22 am

negativeneil

Obama. Great acceptance/victory speech too. :)

2:22 am

negativeneil

See my updates on profile... Nov. 6.

2:22 am

scouser

Yes that's true so that means they can check up on one. I don't know whether they do or not and I don't risk it knowingly.

2:22 am

negativeneil

Oh damn. I forgot to add one.

2:23 am

scouser

Glant: the no4 is sort of like lonely with a different letter at the start

2:24 am

Glantarell

finally found it

2:24 am

Glantarell

rhymes with a brand of mints

2:24 am

Glantarell

:-)

2:24 am

Glantarell

NBT

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Neil if you can imagine we threw out - 16 66 Gallon sized bins or about 6 trailer loads last year

2:26 am

scouser

I hoard books - loaded bookshelves make great thermal insulation in a ro4

2:26 am

Glantarell

i abandoned 75% of my books when i moved in february - heartbreaking but i don;t have space here

2:27 am

herinfernallady

We have a whole library. THe plan is to fit everything into two rooms instead of three

2:29 am

herinfernallady

We are planing now on everything. At least the house is clean and tidy.

2:29 am

negativeneil

Wow herin. How did you have that much stuff?!

2:31 am

Glantarell

I have a rule which helps me - only buy something if you know where it is going to go

2:31 am

Glantarell

and, everything in your hosue should be useful or beautiful (even better if it's both)

2:31 am

negativeneil

Haha scouser... I bet they do. And books are just great to have arouond of course. ;) I love books.

2:32 am

negativeneil

Mostly useful herin but yeah... both is ideal.

2:32 am

scouser

I think one day my fl4 might descend into the fl4 below?

2:33 am

negativeneil

Hopefully not, scouser! Yikes.

2:33 am

Glantarell

i can see it now scouser

2:33 am

negativeneil

Hey scouser... since you're such a bookworm? Are you on Goodreads yet?

2:34 am

scouser

In the fl4 below a previous owner took out part of a wall which worries me sometimes. I don't load that part of the fl5

2:34 am

Glantarell

my way round the books thing is that i've finally been converted to rading on my iPad so the books i have now are only books i know i'll read agaain

2:34 am

Glantarell

*reading

2:35 am

negativeneil

Yeah I wouldn't either, scouser.

2:35 am

herinfernallady

We merged two houses into one Neil.

2:35 am

scouser

Not yet Neil - but a neighbour has a friend who is a critic with excellent taste who reviews crime books and passes them on. A brill source of fiction.

2:35 am

negativeneil

I was reading on my iPod touch... until... :/ And don't ask ruru what happened to that. Just... don't. :P

2:36 am

negativeneil

Yeah. We did that with our effects too, except we had 2 apartments' worth of stuff. A lot of it went.

2:36 am

Shallow One

it fell in the bathtub?

2:36 am

Glantarell

two friends have lost iPhones to the toilet this week - am i on the right lines here?

2:36 am

negativeneil

Nope. And hi, Matt! Haha.

2:36 am

negativeneil

If you log into MSN I'll tell you. :P Not here though.

2:36 am

negativeneil

Nope Glant... nothing involving water.

2:36 am

scouser

I was going to say that fiction just passes through here but ........ bad timing.

2:37 am

Shallow One

i said hello, but went into the grid after - think you overlooked

2:37 am

negativeneil

Oh I may have been elsewhere at that moment, Matt. I've been on and off of here.

2:37 am

Shallow One

never mind

2:37 am

negativeneil

?

2:38 am

Glantarell

love the scouse sense of humour

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Neil I moved from a one bedroom place into a share house that was 4 bedrooms and a Harry Potter room. Then the weeks leading up to moving all turned to crap with housemates breaking up and such and then we lost power in the week of moving. So we bundled everything up and bailed

2:39 am

scouser

There is a little book called "Wirs Ya Sensa Youmer?" written in phonetic scouse language. I believe the nearest American equivalent to scouse is how they speak in the Bowery?

2:40 am

Glantarell

well, i suppose i'd better go and earn a living, see you tonight

2:40 am

Glantarell

my family are all scouse and i miss the humour

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Later Glant

2:40 am

Glantarell

bye

2:40 am

Shallow One

have a nice day glan

2:40 am

negativeneil

Sounds messy, herin.

2:40 am

scouser

Cheers Glantarell

2:40 am

negativeneil

Take care, Glant.

2:41 am

herinfernallady

It was that is why we had so much stuff. We got our stuff plus extra bits and pieces. You know I swear papers left alone bred

2:41 am

negativeneil

That's funny, scouser... phonetic scouse language.

2:42 am

negativeneil

I don't know about papers, but dust bunnies sure do.

2:42 am

herinfernallady

Also living with role players it is amazing how many trees died in that houser

2:44 am

scouser

dust bunnies = fluff bunnies = widgies = flizzers = fuzzers = fluff-balls ..... any more names for those ever-present lurkers-under-the-furniture creatures?

2:45 am

Shallow One

we call them (literal translation) wool-mice

2:45 am

scouser

not sure about paper breeding, but it certainly divides itself into ever-decreasing sized scraps

2:46 am

scouser

which country you in Shallow-One?

2:46 am

Shallow One

germany

2:47 am

negativeneil

Wool mice. :)

2:47 am

scouser

so it will sound similar? lovely word

2:47 am

Marais

dust bunnies in New Jersey

2:47 am

scouser

As I have long hair, they must be hair-mice here

2:48 am

Shallow One

shall i do phonetics for you? would come out like vollmoizeh

2:48 am

negativeneil

Dust bunnies in California too.

2:48 am

scouser

6:27 am

it's not too bad. can be humid in summer but aircon and fans help. I lived in london and left the day before it got snowed in for a week in Jan 2009

6:28 am

I have a neighbor from London, has been here 25 yrs.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I just got invited to London for a party in Dec and am trying to work out how I can go

6:28 am

I can do cold. But too much heat I don't know how to handle.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

some family in London and they give great parties!

Lizlin

hot night times would be unbearable without a fan in the bedroom

6:28 am

Lizlin

and I used to think summer nights in london were hot!

6:29 am

Lizlin

be great if you can get to the party

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I do not like extreme heat and humidity. 70's F is good for me

good grief, Liz, I can't imagine even hotter nights. Wouldn't sleep a sec

6:30 am

rubyfoo

and they're inviting my son from Texas; we'll see if he can make it too

6:30 am

I don't mind heat (here, maybe 10 days/year), just don't like wind

6:30 am

Lizlin

the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! walking on the beach and whale watching.

6:30 am

20 to 25 Celcius, a gentle breeze, I would take every day.

Yup

7:51 am

car.eeyore

Ahhhh...just instilled my new eyedrops....

7:52 am

car.eeyore

But now everything is blurry!

7:53 am

o-o

eye drops are supposed to deal with inflammations?

7:54 am

car.eeyore

I saw the eye doctor yesterday. No dirt in my eyes, but some sort of allergic thing going on, so yes, it should relieve the inflammation and itch. I also have to be tested for glaucoma.

7:55 am

o-o

Hope you test negative for glaucoma.

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Just a baseline. Should be OK, but we do have it in our family.

7:57 am

smores

any idea what your allergic to?

7:58 am

o-o

Seems odd to me that the doctor could not test you for glaucoma yesterday.

7:58 am

car.eeyore

Looking back, this kind of coincides with us turning the heat on in the house, which is forced hot air, so I am not surprised.

7:58 am

car.eeyore

They do a series of tests and need the have the time to do them. No biggie. It is right down the street.

8:00 am

down the street is a curious thing for me ... do you need a ladder? Are there steps?

It's so bad in this area. All along the coast are under mandatory evacuation today.

Hi, all! I'd give anything for a storm here in Phoenix---we are sooo dry. Feels like the earth is gasping.

Hello again! Hi Hego! Hi Molly! Hi Mimi!

9:18 am

MimiCat

Here in Phoenix my job was replaced by voice recognition technology. Well, the computer can spit out a report but it doesn't listen for content and won't catch the dr's mistakes, right?

11:29 am

Dorens

yes it's my house, and the part of the tree is ON my roof, took down the gutter and damaged the front of the roof... can't tell about the top, I'm not climbing up there. We have a nor'easter "Athena" that has begun. More coastal flooding, 2 - 4 inches of snow, which will surely bring down more tree limbs. I still never got my power back and sure don't expect it anytime soon

11:34 am

grammaterri1

two of my fave words today. one's a drink and one's a drinking place ( :

11:38 am

cybernan

we're getting nothing but election rehash on TV -- annoying when there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. One thing I don't understand though is why people in a particlar electoral riding would vote for Obama as president, elect a republican congressment and expect great change!!?

11:39 am

Erda

Not the same people, Nan...

11:40 am

wvteach

back for a little bit - hello all

11:40 am

cybernan

but in the same riding? - it doesn't make sense -- if the majority is going to elect a democratic president, why not a democrat for congress -- give the pres the support he needs to accomplish the platform you voted for

11:41 am

Erda

That would make sense, Nan -- but we all know "sense" is an obsolete word...

11:41 am

IndiaJan

Not all the seats were up for grabs..

11:42 am

cybernan

I guess that is the difference between our parliamentary system and yours.

11:43 am

cybernan

We don't have a popular vote --- the party leader of whichever party wins the majority of seats in the House of Commons becomes the Prime Minister.

11:45 am

Erda

By that system, we could've had Mr. Boehner for President -- the mind reels...

11:45 am

cybernan

Ah but by our system, Obama would have been the leader of the Democratic Party

11:47 am

cosdem

Nan: theres a saying here. hate congress but love your congressman. thats why they win easy

11:48 am

smores

our system would ( sadly doesn't, but would) work fine if members of each party could represent the actual people instead of "their" party

11:49 am

grammaterri1

that is so true smores. and WE need to hold them to it. I think we get complacent and let them rule us instead of the other way around

11:49 am

cybernan

obviously no political system is perfect, but it would seem you are no further ahead -- especially in lite of Mr Boehner's comments last night

11:49 am

cosdem

Boehner's an idiot.

11:49 am

smores

each is too concerned about screwing each other but we the people are the ones getting screwed

11:50 am

Erda

I managed to miss that -- what did he say?

11:55 am

MollyL

The thing is, America has a government representative of the people. And some of the people are Republicans and are going to vote that way. It's not as simple as Democrat President = Democrat Congress.

11:56 am

cosdem

checks and balance :)

11:56 am

MollyL

Erda, Boehner said "the decision by voters to keep a Democrat in the White House and Republicans in control of the House means they are looking for political leaders to find common ground."

11:57 am

smores

just wish they could manage to work better together

11:58 am

MollyL

It would be a whole new American government if they would outlaw lobbying.

11:58 am

smores

Amen Molly

11:58 am

Erda

But he (Boehner) was one of the big reasons why nothing worked as long as they were being obstructionist...

11:59 am

MollyL

As long as politicians are in the pockets of lobbyists, there is no hope for a Congress that acts for the people.

11:59 am

periwinkle

very true Molls

11:59 am

periwinkle

how long have lobbyists been around?

12:00 pm

cybernan

I still don't understand why any woman would support a party that wants to take away their rights - not in this day and age. Mind you, I only know 2 women that are staunchly anti-obama, and I susect it is more of a racial issue than political. They were brought up in an environment where it was believed that there is no way that a person of colour could possibly be as intelligent as a person of their own ethnic background -- I suspect it will take a few more generations before that line of thinking disappears.

12:01 pm

It's not so much supporting a party that wants to take away their rights. It's more of being tired of a President who has done nothing and has not fulfilled any of his campaign promises.

12:04 pm

Oh dear. I just came on and the chat makes my stomach flip. I remember when the chat had unspoken rules. We didn't discuss politics, abortion, religion, etc. It was just a pleasant place for people with a common love of word games.

12:04 pm

sammysmom

it never occurred to any of us in our lily-white , up-tight protestand world that our family would ever be any different...... however......

12:05 pm

cybernan

But Molly, can you not see that the obstructive measures adopted by the Republican party is mostly responsible for that?

12:05 pm

MollyL

The great thing about chat is that you can turn it off if you don't care for the conversation.

12:05 pm

Not really Nan, that is just excuse making on the part of the incumbent.

I would challenge "done nothing" on the facts. Certainly not "done everything he promised", but I can't think of a politician in my lifetime that meets that standard.

12:08 pm

I don't think so -- if you have a congress that will shoot down everything proposed by the opposing party only because it was proposed by the opposing party nothng will ever get done. Whatever happened to compromise and looking at what is acutally good for the country?

Lizlin

:) - thanks gemini - I also mean no offence

6:38 pm

lynxxx

hi Gemini

6:38 pm

gemini_J13

doesn't offend me,,, some of the politican offend me

6:39 pm

Lizlin

I guess as a woman it's hard not to respond to comments about rape. I usually keep well out of political discussions - learned early on at work how easily some take offence

6:39 pm

gemini_J13

in my opinion there were too many comments like that from Republicans.... they need to find out why they have so many extremists....

6:39 pm

lynxxx

We all value free speech - sometimes we wish people would put a sock in it though - here as well. Some people make you chringe

6:40 pm

Lizlin

For sure!

6:40 pm

gemini_J13

no middle ground left....

6:41 pm

gemini_J13

and by the way,, the man that said that,, running for senator from Missouri,, lost 40 to 60 % ,,,,,

6:42 pm

Lizlin

good!

6:42 pm

gemini_J13

:)

6:42 pm

lynxxx

good - let's hope he learns from it

6:45 pm

lynxxx

5 minutes to remember re6.27 & 7. To put a new top on the house

6:46 pm

Lizlin

that'd be annoying

6:46 pm

Lizlin

still got 4 c's to go but moved away from them for a while

6:47 pm

lynxxx

do you want a hand, I finished those?

6:47 pm

Lizlin

strangely though just realised i missed the plural of that ro 4 / 7

6:48 pm

Lizlin

I think it's co s I'm missing but I'm getting lost in the list!

6:48 pm

Lizlin

a way down the co list!

6:49 pm

lynxxx

If you haven't emailed Lickety for Expert yet, do...in the meantime use the Bulk Entry at the bottom of his list - very very fast to use

6:49 pm

Lizlin

I've never entered anything in Lickety!

6:50 pm

Lizlin

How does the bulk entry work?

6:50 pm

Lizlin

I never scrolled down that far before!!!!!

6:50 pm

lynxxx

Do it now then! Just Copy your Word List and the Paste into the ist big box you can see at the bottom of his clue list, and press enter

6:51 pm

lynxxx

You can even just enter all the words for one letter if you like. Successive fills

6:52 pm

MollyL

You don't have to scroll down that far. Click on BACK TO THE TOP anywhere in Lickety's list. At the top, click on BULK ADD/GRAB and it will bounce you down to the add box.

6:52 pm

Lizlin

That gave me a first letter count! didn't enter the words but I'll try again!

6:53 pm

lynxxx

Don't worry about getting the letters and points, the softwaer will eliminate them

6:53 pm

Lizlin

Got it - clicked bulk add rather than enter. ty

6:54 pm

Lizlin

I never knew I could use Lickety like that! I'd always gone back and forth between the pages. Now do I use that grid to add new words?

6:55 pm

lynxxx

No, unfortunately you will have to type them into Babble....but when you get Expert from Lickety, it will magically do all that for you

6:55 pm

Lizlin

How do I do that?

6:56 pm

lynxxx

Do email him, he is just down in Sydney actually. Lovely guy and so nice of him to do it for us. He doesn't even play. His contact is on his list I think - over on the right

6:56 pm

Lizlin

ok - might do that!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

But for a while I'll see how I go using the list in this new way

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Raining again :( I still haven't moved into the mindset of Australia needing rain!

7:01 pm

lynxxx

Thats what you get for living way up there in the Tropics

7:02 pm

Lizlin

bbl - off to check out ceiling fans - the only room that doesn't have one? The lounge!

7:02 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy the day lyn and good luck!

7:02 pm

lynxxx

bye Liz, you too

7:03 pm

Lizlin

Btw - you're being a good influence on me. I'm going to make the effort to punctuate correctly!

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Especially as literacy was my speciality!

7:04 pm

lynxxx

I think I should be the one getting instruction - I am hopeless at it. Bye

Hi wht! hi Molly

7:39 pm

wht

Ruru, I see you are on your best behaviour tonight.

7:39 pm

rururocks

yes indeed

7:39 pm

MollyL

Not bad Nef. How's your hand today?

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Nef. I am nearing REM sleep.

7:40 pm

MollyL

Oh look, Wht has gone all Canadian on us with behaviour.

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

Very international, wht. Colour, cheque, etc.

7:41 pm

Nef

it's getting better, Molly. It hurts more than yesterday; but I think it's the dressing that's bugging me

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

What happened Nef?

7:41 pm

Nef

happy REM, Scrabs

7:42 pm

wht

It makes me look like an international man of mystery while I am really sitting in my den.

7:42 pm

Scrabbler

I have always had a busy, vivid dream life and the Scrabbler Channel has been extremely creative and fascinating lately.

7:43 pm

Nef

I had surgery on Saturday, basilar thumb arthritis fixed (I hope) on non-dominate hand

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

New joint?

7:43 pm

MollyL

Coul Wht. Goud for you.

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

Oh my Nef, what a surgical year it has been for you!

7:44 pm

Nef

they removed it and put inatendon I guess

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

Hand surgeons get to do really co4 stuff.

7:44 pm

wht

Nef can come to Massachusetts for his new joint. The medical marijuana initiative passed yesterday.

7:45 pm

MollyL

Nef has a joint? Wow, those pain killers have made her a wild woman.

7:45 pm

gapeach

The night is young, wht. He turns on later.

7:45 pm

redturtlehead

nef has moved to COlorado or Washington.

7:45 pm

Nef

and DH will have more spine surgery on Nov. 26th! I'm hoping and praying that that will be the end of it all!

7:45 pm

wht

Or her new joint as the case may be.

7:45 pm

MollyL

Kids, kids, Nef is a she not a he.

7:46 pm

MollyL

Don't let the blue do fool you.

7:46 pm

Nef

yep; I'm a she, no sex-change surgery done here

7:46 pm

wht

So I realized as soon as I hit enter. Apologies, nef.

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

It sucks to be a patient, especially a surgical patient

7:46 pm

Nef

NP, wht.

7:49 pm

Nef

and, for the record, no new joints for me either ;-)

7:49 pm

rururocks

Judi was smoking joints here last night

7:50 pm

MollyL

Rats Nef. I was hoping for something that would finally make you relax.

7:50 pm

Nef

were you helping her, ruru?

7:50 pm

Nef

I'm a fairly relaxed person IRL, Molly

7:51 pm

rururocks

7:51 pm

9:27 pm

<---Laughs at Cos's typo.

9:27 pm

9:28 pm

cosdem

which typo?

9:28 pm

wht

That sounds like words of high praise, cos.

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

but cosd i thought you were deaf. . . haha

9:28 pm

cosdem

ohhh ok i see it now!

9:28 pm

MollyL

The truth of the matter is, whether they are ranting looneys or people with valid arguments, half the country is not happy with the president.

9:28 pm

cosdem

yeah thatds why i said "tone of her typing" not "voice" lol

9:29 pm

cosdem

no ur right molly but that doesnt mean they need to insult me and call me names.

9:29 pm

cosdem

she called me a baby-killer

9:29 pm

wht

.. I started out running but I'm taking my time,
a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight.

9:30 pm

MollyL

No, it doesn't. I saw similar stuff between my son and a cousin on his Dad's side. My sarcastic son replied "Well, this is going to make the next family reunion awkward". : D

9:30 pm

cosdem

lol yeah.. good thing i dont see this cousin ever. havent seen her since umm 2004

9:30 pm

cosdem

the problem is her mom is my all time favorite aunt and was the first person i came out to.

9:30 pm

MollyL

<--Wonders if Wht is already participating in the medical marijuana.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

I ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air

9:31 pm

MollyL

Oh you guys have gone Quaker on us. I see.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

what's a family reunion if it isn't awkward?

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

never really thought of the grateful dead as Quaker

cosdem

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

ah. . .

9:33 pm

wht

There are two reasons why I cry each and every night.
The first one is sweet Anne Marie, she is my heart's delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend the night in jail.

9:33 pm

MollyL

Red color Cos.

another reason we are not friends molls ;-)

9:34 pm

Well that and the fact that I'm the black sheep of Babble.

You don't have to be a dead head to be a Friend. I'm sure I saw that in the Quaker manual, jmc.

9:35 pm
