Lizlin

My hubby doubts everyone :)

12:07 am

12:15 am

grannyrose

negativeneil

Oh. Saw you log in ru but you're gone again.

12:29 am

cybernan

don't believe there is such a word any more than cleverer is a word! --- more clever and more ad 5?

12:29 am

grannyrose

ruru, was scammed today to the tune of over $600. made me very sad and distrustful of babble friends. but i have been reassured by Neil, and all is well.

12:29 am

jillibus

flask -- sorry I didn't greet you properly -- thanks for the no Lickety announcement. Sort of. :-(

12:29 am

Erda

Neil -- Didn't say much, so I'll just file it under "None of my business, I guess."

12:29 am

rastapopolous

whoops! just found th7 before I left! Good hunting, everyone

12:29 am

rururocks

what??????????

12:30 am

negativeneil

I'm still not understanding what anyone on here has to do with that company, Rose?

12:30 am

negativeneil

And huh, Erda?

12:30 am

periwinkle

nan, ad7 skilled, proficient

12:30 am

periwinkle

more skilled even

12:30 am

Flask1

Hey, no worries....I realised that!.....Hope yor well n happy

12:30 am

cybernan

still don't know what company to avoid!

12:30 am

Erda

I guess it involves a Babble player???

12:30 am

negativeneil

I don't know what you're saying that to me for? I just didn't want to be emailing you about it when Rose is right here... and it's her story to tell, y'know?

12:30 am

jillibus

granny, I don't quite see why you connect the rotten travel company with babble friends

12:31 am

negativeneil

Well I didn't think it did... does it?

12:31 am

Lizlin

Builds on ad 5 / 14 nan

12:31 am

Flask1

whats the other 7 please?

12:31 am

negativeneil

Yeah, jilli. That's what I'm having trouble understanding myself. But... ok?

12:31 am

cosdem

th7 i think?

12:31 am

Erda

OK Neil!! Thanks for trying...

12:32 am

grannyrose

erda, NO!!!! but involves an american company, and as i said it made me very distrustful and sad.i was looking forward to coming over and meeting you all....then it all fell apart.

12:32 am

negativeneil

Well all the details are already in the chog, Erda.

12:32 am

negativeneil

From Rose...

12:32 am

rastapopolous

follows pattern of ni and rh .... now I'm really gone. Poof

12:32 am

Lizlin

It's sad that a few evil scammers make people so untrusting of everyone else

12:32 am

periwinkle

bye for now

12:32 am

rururocks

i'm lost on this

12:33 am

cosdem

tyvm rasta got it

12:33 am

Lizlin

Bye peri - sleep well :)

12:33 am

demi

Hey Rose. That is horrible. Am sorry to hear that you have been subject to such horrible people. The internet can be so cruel. I hope that your bank is able to assit you with it. They are usually pretty good at sorting these things out and often will return your money if there is an unauthorised transaction.

12:33 am

negativeneil

Sure. But what do any of us here have to do with that company? How would them scamming you make you distrustful of anyone on this site? That's what's puzzling.

12:33 am

grannyrose

like i said, liz, Neil has stepped into the breach and reassured me.

12:33 am

negativeneil

Totally unrelated.

12:33 am

cybernan

what company????

12:33 am

Lizlin

But it's true Rose - it makes us all suspicious!

12:33 am

Douglas

Hoth, where one of the battles in The Empire Strikes Back was fought, is in the grid. Brrr!

12:33 am

Lizlin

I'm always being warned against posting too much info!

12:34 am

jillibus

nan -- I googled it -- All season Escape

12:34 am

Flask1

clue please for th7?

12:34 am

grannyrose

what threw me was that they knew my name, my home address, and my email address.

12:35 am

cybernan

ty jill -- will know to avoid it

12:35 am

Douglas

Doris (Day) is in the grid

12:35 am

Lizlin

all of that can be easily found by those who want to - so much info on the internet

12:35 am

Flask1

most of these companies do make it their business to find uot this kind of information!

12:35 am

Flask1

sad---but true!

12:35 am

gapeach

Rose, why would be suspect of your BABBLE friends?

12:35 am

grannyrose

liz, and they phoned me on my home phone...which is an unlisted number.

12:36 am

jillibus

ooh, that's spooky, granny!

12:36 am

negativeneil

Oh wow. How could they get that?!

12:36 am

negativeneil

Are you sure you didn't give it to them?

12:36 am

rururocks

*want's granny's home phone to leave heavy breathing messages*

12:37 am

Lizlin

I guess because people who are intent on scamming really trawl all possible places - tracking cookies etc etc

12:37 am

jillibus

<-- smacks ruru

12:37 am

negativeneil

Yeah right, ru.

12:37 am

rururocks

:D

12:37 am

grannyrose

that's what i perhaps have first said...because i never give my home number on-line. only my mobile. i figure if they want to call me, they can pay for it.

12:37 am

negativeneil

<- smacks ru too!

12:38 am

rururocks

HA

12:38 am

grannyrose

lol, ruru...only you, mate, only you

12:38 am

demi

It may be worth running some spyware software.

12:38 am

Flask1

clue for th7 please?

12:38 am

negativeneil

Yes. I do that.

12:38 am

grannyrose

hmmm, good point, demi

12:39 am

Lizlin

Good thought Demi :)

12:39 am

demi

you can often find free downloads online, but any good virun checker usually have them now too.

12:39 am

negativeneil

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is worth every penny it costs in my opinion. Wouldn't run without it protecting my computer.

12:40 am

negativeneil

Plus my antivirus/firewall, of course.

12:40 am

jillibus

not liking this grid -- too many almost-words

12:40 am

demi

Flask, don't have the th 7, but am looking.

12:40 am

grannyrose

just checked, demi. yes, we have anti-spyware software on our computers

12:40 am

negativeneil

Even have to protect my Macbook these days. Macs get hit now too.

12:41 am

Flask1

thanks Demi

12:41 am

rururocks

it'd be my luck to call Granny's and do heavy breathing and get Don on the phone..

12:41 am

Douglas

Neither mission, nor remission are in the grid

12:41 am

negativeneil

Haha ru.

12:42 am

grannyrose

12:42 am

negativeneil

Wow Doug... you've been a member since 2006? Surprised I have never seen you before.

12:42 am

Douglas

"Who Dat" isn't in the grid either, as in "Who Dat Say Dey Goin Beat Dem Saints?"

12:43 am

cybernan

th 7: th + gypsy man + beginning of girl who lost her sheep

12:43 am

rururocks

hey.. the grunting is on this end

12:43 am

Douglas

12:43 am

negativeneil

I should hope it isn't, Doug. :P

12:43 am

2:11 am

flosey

and wtg - pretty good for your first night back in quite a while

2:12 am

joshuavorbis

i'll be honest, flosey - a big part of my reason for stopping by is to get more practice for scramble with friends :)

2:13 am

flosey

good idea but I bet there'll be a lot of words they wont accept

2:13 am

medusa

they do put some strange ones in these grids!

2:13 am

flosey

good to see you, please do drop in again - even from time to time is nice

2:14 am

2:19 am

medusa

you and me both!

2:20 am

medusa

thanks for stats josh

2:20 am

MimiCat

You're not old, though---just a baby!

2:21 am

medusa

dont feel it sometimes. im sure you are not old

2:21 am

MimiCat

I'm 61 but there are days when I feel 100...but they're balanced out by those days when I feel 40!

2:22 am

medusa

see. they say you are only as old as you feel

2:22 am

MimiCat

Groucho Marx said you're only as old as the woman you feel....like his attitude.

2:23 am

medusa

i was gonna say that but thought better of it! lol

2:24 am

medusa

all i can say to that is the guy i would like to feel is 49 and i dont stand a chance! lol

2:25 am

MimiCat

When I was first divorced all these young guys came after me. I felt it was my DUTY to date them as a sort of retribution for all those years of trophy wives men got away with. The youngest I dated was 32 years my junior and I felt I had to ask someone's permission to go out with him. So I asked my daughter if she thought it went beyond the bounds of good taste---she told me to go for it. Alas, not much fun.

2:25 am

MimiCat

Why no chance with him, medusa?

2:25 am

medusa

good for you!

2:26 am

medusa

he is very well known and he dont talk to th fans on facebook. understandable though

2:27 am

MimiCat

Frankly, I've found that it's often more fun to imagine a relationship than to experience one! Have decided I'm done now....happy living on my own with the cats!

2:27 am

Lizlin

Hi again :)

2:28 am

MimiCat

2:28 am

medusa

hi liz. me too mimi

2:28 am

Lizlin

Got the pics to work Mimi - even posted a pic of Migaloo, the albino humpback, from when we spent a day with him!

2:30 am

MimiCat

Just checked 'em out, Liz---WONDERFUL. And you and hubby are just adorable!

2:30 am

Lizlin

ty

2:30 am

Lizlin

Didn't meet him til I was 49! Now have the love of my life!!!!

2:31 am

medusa

ok just hit the half way mark!

2:31 am

medusa

thats so sweet liz

2:31 am

MimiCat

I can't sleep tonight but am so glad I got to chat with you! Hey, doesn't matter when you meet as long as you do, right?

2:31 am

Lizlin

I was quite content on my own til then!

2:31 am

MimiCat

I don't think I've ever had the love of my life but it wasn't from lack of trying!!

2:32 am

Lizlin

Other relationships of course but not like this

2:32 am

medusa

right mimi

2:33 am

MimiCat

Now I don't have the motivation but that's OK. I'm good on my own with the cats.

2:33 am

MimiCat

Am currently reinventing myself AGAIN so have lots to keep me busy and happy.

2:34 am

medusa

i have 4 cats that drive me crazy but they re good babies, just typical 20ish month old cats!

2:34 am

Lizlin

Being happy - most important thing in life

2:34 am

medusa

i am doing that too

2:35 am

MimiCat

All 3 of mine were strays and they're the most affectionate cats I've ever had. I used to care for a tiger that was quite special.

2:35 am

MimiCat

Yes, Liz, it is. I'm glad my needs are few and that I can find contentment in ordinary things.

2:35 am

Lizlin

A tiger??? Awesome!

2:36 am

medusa

wow! that must have been cool. mine were all rescues that did not quite make it to centres. they were about 6 months when i got them from 2 different homes

2:37 am

MimiCat

Yep--raised lots of exotics at zoos and wildlife parks. Lions, tigers and lots more at a wildlife park. Years ago I raised gorillas, chimps and orangutans at a primate center. Gorillas are the BEST.

2:37 am

Lizlin

You've had an amazing variety of experiences!

2:37 am

medusa

i love gorillas! one of my fave animals. i would love to do something like that

2:37 am

MimiCat

Had one boa constrictor I grew fond of but don't much care for snakes generally---I like the animals fed to them better than them!

2:38 am

medusa

i had a pet corn snake

2:38 am

Lizlin

So far have avoided most of the snakes here! Long may that continue. i do not like them - do not should be capitalised!!!!

2:38 am

MimiCat

It's true, Liz---that's why I'm attempting to write the book. People have been after me for years to do so. Thought I'd have to write it as fiction since I wasn't sure I wanted to admit to all the things I've done but now I no longer care and feel it will just make me colorful!!

2:39 am

medusa

you will have to let me know how it goes with the book.

2:39 am

Lizlin

That's great. Enjoy the writing - go with the flow and just see how it turns out!

2:39 am

medusa

mt worst fear is spiders. cant go near them!

2:39 am

MimiCat

I'm taking sprite's advice and writing a little every day. She's good support for me.

2:40 am

periwinkle

Haz1558

Hello, granny.

3:29 am

grannyrose

how are you,haz?:

3:29 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, finally managed to shake off a cold so back to normal energy levels again.

3:29 am

grannyrose

good for you, haz

3:30 am

sprite

ah that is nice. It is frustrating to be held back by colds etc.

3:30 am

Haz1558

I have little patience for not feeling well but just had to let the virus burn itself out.

3:31 am

grannyrose

s'okay haz...all in good time, as we say...

3:32 am

sprite

yeah that's the only way. As I told my doctor once: 'If you give me medicines for it, it will take two weeks to heal, and without them it takes 14 days.'

3:32 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite..so true re viruses

3:33 am

Haz1558

I resorted to cough medicine just to have the nice warm feeling going down my throat.

3:33 am

sprite

glad there are some relievers for the condition :)

3:35 am

Haz1558

I think time is the main thing but we all like to hurry it along a bit.

3:35 am

sprite

very true

3:44 am

Lizlin

Hi again - just here for a few mins. Wish you better Haz - benilyn was wonderful for my cough and helping me sleep at night!!!

3:44 am

sprite

3:44 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite :)

3:45 am

Haz1558

Yes, I did take Benilyn and I think it helped.

Hi all :)

6:04 am

6:05 am

smores

YAY Liz, you are quite welcome....looking now

6:05 am

rubyfoo

I sent Annie an article about descendants of holocaust victims and survivors are getting tattooos of their precedents numbers. It's a controversial idea, but I understand it

6:06 am

Lizlin

That's interesting - I dislike tattoos of any type but I can certainly understand

6:06 am

Anniebrook

Never forget.

6:06 am

rubyfoo

only in Israel, I think

6:06 am

rubyfoo

my family just got killed, I don't even think in camps, just out in the open

6:06 am

Lizlin

It will probably spread and then cause controversy amongst orthodox, who don't accept tattoos!

6:07 am

Jivingjenny0

can i have a clue for either of the 7s please

6:07 am

Lizlin

Still no list - sigh! Do miss lickety!

6:08 am

Lizlin

ad 7 - to be more skilful

6:08 am

rubyfoo

is it true that, once tattoed, you can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery? But, surely, they had to have made exceptions for tattoed survivors.....

6:08 am

Anniebrook

thanks Liz

6:08 am

Lizlin

tr 7 - think blood clots but with similar ending to the ni 5 / 16 you clued earlier

6:09 am

Lizlin

True I think - survivors sure they must make an exception - but in memory of survivors, who knows????

6:10 am

rubyfoo

my relatives in London all have tattoos, nothing to do with survivors!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I have very mixed feelings

6:11 am

smores

Love the pics Lizlin :)

6:11 am

Lizlin

Just not my thing though I have seen some nice ones! But also I've seen some I really dislike - but each to their own.

6:11 am

Lizlin

ty smores. perhaps you have some idea why I love whales!

6:11 am

rubyfoo

I love Japanese tattooos, but only in photos -- have never met one

Type of clouds but not with expected ending

6:12 am

Anniebrook

6:13 am

i was a veggie for awhile. . .but ultimately my love of ribs and steaks won out. . . no veggie subs for those

hot liquid definately helps. . .i prefer mine in the form of warm brandy with milk. . . (or without!)

4:04 pm

jmcnrick

good clues!

4:05 pm

cybernan

any other clues wanted before I go and find myself a new book?

4:06 pm

Michnick

What is the other tw, not the multiple

4:06 pm

MollyL

tw + two vowels

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

latin plural mich

4:07 pm

cybernan

both a multiple - multiple number and multiple birth

4:07 pm

Michnick

ah, I was stuck on the wrong t and the wrong w, duh!

4:07 pm

Michnick

thanks!

4:07 pm

MollyL

Well yeah, if you're from Scotland. : D

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

i did the same thing mich. . . who'd thought there would be two tw. . .

4:07 pm

cybernan

nope -- just a scottish heritage

4:08 pm

zoozzoom

lol

4:08 pm

Michnick

OK, not bad feeling dumb if we are in it together. ;-)

4:08 pm

MollyL

We stand in dumb solidarity.

4:08 pm

jmcnrick

i wonder if scottish heritage is why i saw the number rather than the births first

4:08 pm

jmcnrick

*links arms with mich and molls*

4:09 pm

MollyL

We are won!

4:09 pm

Michnick

we three are won

*Note the dumb spelling

4:09 pm

jmcnrick

We will all be dumb; we will all be dumb; we will all be dumb todaaaaaaaaaaay,

4:09 pm

Michnick

I did, and do

4:09 pm

cybernan

found the tw birth first -- not surprising seeing has how we just had our tw grandbabies here for Christmas

4:10 pm

MollyL

All for dumb and dumb for nothing!

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

oooooo i do believe de** in my heart. . . .

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

we will all be dumb today!

4:11 pm

jmcnrick

i haven't sung in the chog for a while! haha

4:11 pm

zoozzoom

lol

4:11 pm

cybernan

thanks -- now that tune will be running through my head for awhile

4:11 pm

Michnick

and I was hear marching along to your tune...

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

haha

4:12 pm

MollyL

Rise up Dumb Nation!!

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

best time i ever sang the original of that song was with interacial and mixed sexual orientation groups of baptists at MLK's church in Atlanta

4:13 pm

Michnick

Now that sounds like an interesting story!

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

(the same baptists that lead me into sin in Utah)

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

it is the baptist peace fellowship. . . one of the preachers is transexual. . . a great group of people

4:14 pm

Michnick

getting more and more intriguing.....?

4:15 pm

jmcnrick

they me** annually for a peace camp in different places in the US and i have been to 4 or 5 of them . . .even though i am a quaker

4:15 pm

Michnick

Are you the only non-Baptist?

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

when they met in utah we were on a state campus and they held a birthday party and we got narced out by a student for the beer and wine

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

not always. . . sometimes speaker is non-baptist. . .

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

thanks to my methodist up bringing i can keep up with the hymns

4:17 pm

cybernan

I thought babtists and quakers were both teetotal...

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

*narc'd?

4:17 pm

cybernan

*Baptists

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

cyber you KNOW i am not a a teatotaler! hahaha

4:18 pm

Michnick

and the student was a Mormon?

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

yes and we said we would put it away or take it off campus but the campus cop said no that was not good enough it had to be pour out. . .

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

and i said well go right ahead i see no reason why we should do it. . . and the kid helped

4:19 pm

cybernan

You didn't ask if it could pass through your kidneys, before pouring it out?

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

the kid said. . . "i try not to drink" and i said either you drink or you don't drink . . . if you have to "try" you have a problem. . .

4:19 pm

Michnick

That's what I'd call a Party Pooper, I do assume you weren't getting loud and wild.

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

it was a moment of great solidarity with the baptists

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

no the party had just started and they really weren't getting loud

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

i wish i had thought of that cyber. . . one guy had the presence of mind to take his beer into the bathroom and finish it. . .

4:21 pm

Michnick

Why was it being held on a "dry" campus in the first place? Are all Mormons non-drinkers by their religion. I know Muslims do not drink, although some do.

4:22 pm

cybernan

so do some Mormons, when there are no others around

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

mormons are non-drinking according to their religion. . . and is was where the conference was at a STATE university it never occured to us

4:22 pm

Michnick

I mean, the religion dictates that they don't, but like in every other religion, not everyone follows all the 'rules'.

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

my mormon in laws all drank as near as i could see

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

but they are mostly compliant

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

you used to could barely get alcohol in utah back in the day and there were no bars and no cola drinks or tea or coffee

4:24 pm

Michnick

Caffeine is in the same class as alcohol? Interesting. I always say it is my drug of choice, especially if I am expected to get out of bed in the morning!

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

now they have lightened up and there are actually bars in some towns

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

yes caffeine is also forbidden. . .

4:25 pm

cybernan

Our son married a girl whose family were Mormons -- the waiters had to ask each table if they would prefer to toast the bride and groom with ginger ale or champagne -- I'm sure there were a few who would have like champagne, but didn't dare say so.

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

well it was nice they at least had a nominal option

4:26 pm

jmcnrick

when i grew up in the south no one but the mexican and the jewish weddings had alcohol. . . we all drank punch

4:26 pm

Michnick

But her parents were OK about other people drinking? We are religious Jews and I wouldn't provide Pork at a wedding, which doesn't mean it's not OK for others.

4:27 pm

Michnick

I don't know about Mexicans but for Jews, wine is a part of almost every religious rite, ritual and life cycle event (except funerals), but real drinking has never been part of the culture.

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

when i worked at the center i had to be careful who i drank around. . . there were people who would have quit donating if they knew i drank alcohol. .

4:28 pm

cybernan

didn't you hear? caffeine was ok when they acquire the majority stock holding in coca cola

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

.but i am with you. . . it is one thing to be observant and another to force it on others

4:28 pm

Michnick

That says a lot Cyber. Technically I am not allowed to own stock in Oscar Meyer or McDonalds, for example

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

well it is a religion of continuing revelation. . . just like quakers! hahaha

4:29 pm

cybernan

must be off -- back at the flip. Enjoy the rest of your day. :)

4:29 pm

cybernan

Yes, jmc -- apparently one of the elders had a vision!

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

really i did not know that mich. . .that makes owning most stock problematic for you i suspect

4:29 pm

Michnick

My day should be ending, time for bed. I am waiting for the chickens to come home to the nest.

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

well that explains why we had coffee on campus. . . at breakfast only

4:31 pm

Michnick

I think if it is a fund or mixed stock it is ok, but not owning the actual stock outright. I work with a religious broker so he checks these things out. There are enough companies that don't deal with non-Kosher meat for it to pretty much be a non-issue. I have no problem with Coca Cola or Starbucks!!

4:31 pm

Michnick

Not that I own that much to make me a player....

4:32 pm

jmcnrick

i always check for weapons, labor policies and green issues myself

4:32 pm

jmcnrick

which lets out a lot of stock!

4:33 pm

Michnick

Labor policies is a big thing for me too, and I try to lean towards green. Living in Israel, I have a different take on armaments - for us it is purely defense.

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

as a quaker with friends in israel and ramallah you can guess how i stand. . . we will agree not to go down that bunny trail. . . we can both be observant but not impose ;-)

4:35 pm

Michnick

Fair 'nuf

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

green is hard to follow . . .i personally have no use for carbon trading

4:35 pm

Michnick

Well, to be more honest, I try to avoid blatently non-green as opposed to pursuing green. There are too many things that I don't know enough about.

4:36 pm

Michnick

Does that make sense?

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

i have solar panels and a friend was trying to get me to sale my carbon something or nother. . .but it just lets someone else off the hook to me. . . i don't see how that is a good thing if you want people to do better about emissions

4:36 pm

rubyfoo

whay an interesting hog! Gren is very hard in france where labelling is poor and bio doesn't necessarily mean bio. And they bring in produce from all over the world, not like the old days when you could only get asparagus in Mqy, cherries and peaches in june, etc.

4:37 pm

jmcnrick

i miss seasonal veggie here too but we do have pretty good labeling rules

4:37 pm

rubyfoo

(typing the dark0 WHAT( CHOG*

4:37 pm

jmcnrick

*oink oink*

4:37 pm

jmcnrick

well it is time for me to wander off to the campus dining hall for supper before my class tonight. . . i am taking a course on marketing

4:38 pm

Michnick

Like I said, I don't know enough about it. Here houses have not been built without solar panels for close to 30 years. I don't really know the carbon issues.

4:38 pm

rubyfoo

we buy lamb at a halal market so it is pretty much kosher (and much better than the other lamb) and many of the arab products are marked kosher as well.

4:38 pm

jmcnrick

always nice to have a real conversation in the chog. . . good talking with you mich. . . shalom

4:38 pm

Michnick

I try and only buy local produce which tends to keep me seasonal. There are local hot house tomatos but they are as awful as winter tomatos anywhere else so we just skip them.

4:39 pm

Michnick

Shalom, great chat!!

4:39 pm

jmcnrick

bye all 46 left

4:39 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

I GROW AS MUCH OF MY OWN THINGS AS POSSIBLE, THAT WAY THE TOMATOES IN THEIR SHORT SEASON ARE WONDERFUL

4:40 pm

Michnick

The halal meat is not really kosher rubyfoo, because kosher requires ritual slaughtering. The local Arabs have a great source of halal meat because they have the same needs as us without the slaughter.

4:40 pm

Michnick

Gotta run, my daughter just came home. A quick chat with her and then off to bed.

4:40 pm

Michnick

G'night all!!

4:41 pm

Michnick

**Poof**

shalom, too, and *wood*

we're not observant, but the meat seems better and cleaner

RUBY FEELS VERY STRONGLY ABOUT FRESH PRODUCE
: D

4:41 pm

rubyfoo

and the arabs in the markets are very nice to me

4:42 pm

bichon

So do I. And the produce in CA is as good as it is in Israel

4:42 pm

rubyfoo

<== sorry for shouting faux pas

4:43 pm

rubyfoo

the produce here is very good, but DH wants out of season fruit and, at his age, I guess he deserves it

4:44 pm

crosshair

green earth shopping is very,very hard.take hybrid vehicles for example.yes,they get great mileage,but those banks of batterys each have roughly 1 pound of rare earth materials in them.china "harvests" 98 % of the worlds rare earth materials and some of the methods are horrifying on a green mining scale

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

I only eat fruit from my garden (will probably get scurvy except for oranges which come from either Morocco or Israel) but Idon't use insecticies or fertilizers or even water very much and have brilliant tomatoes and fruit most years

4:46 pm

rubyfoo

I DON'T THINK THE HYBRIDS ARE A GOOD SOLUTION AS THEY STILL USE ELECTRICITY. pUBLIC TRANSPORT 9LIGHT RAIL SYSTEMS) SEEM TO BE THE ANSWER

4:47 pm

rubyfoo

sorry about the caps, so I'll say good night to my smart and earth-responsible friends

4:48 pm

rubyfoo

and they'd provide jobs

4:49 pm

crosshair

because of the distances that need to be travelled in north amrica,we are way behind many euro cities in public transport

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

I think the Dutch and Belgians do it best but those are very small countries

4:50 pm

crosshair

yes,andthe japans have the bullet trains

4:51 pm

rubyfoo

yes, but the Japanese have no natural resources and are at the mercy of the rare earth metal suppliers

4:51 pm

crosshair

imagine hopping on a train and at 300+ kph you are at work 200k away in minutes

4:51 pm

crosshair

yes they are indedd

4:52 pm

rubyfoo

I WOULd be very reluctant o take those super high speed trains in China as I think they've been built too fast with too much corruption and not enough attention to saftely issues. China scares me!

4:52 pm

crosshair

me as well

4:52 pm

rubyfoo

(escept the food)

4:53 pm

crosshair

mmm,chinese food...

4:53 pm

rubyfoo

I'm so sick of Fr food I could scream

4:54 pm

rubyfoo

the only decent stuff we eat is at home, woe is me!

4:54 pm

Uneaixoise

sick of french food?! mon dieu!!

4:55 pm

rubyfoo

In order to get a realy good Fr meal, it is necessary to spend AT LEAST$100 person

4:55 pm

if anything is everyday,the novelty soon wears off

maybe that's just this country region, but the food is awful

5:27 pm

periwinkle

I just made an avocado, onion and tomato sandwich on rye bread with some mayo and could actually taste it :)

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

Yummy...*wipes drool off screen*

5:28 pm

MollyL

I love rye bread but can't eat it much. It gives me a rash.

5:28 pm

periwinkle

Molls, your icon made me laugh

5:28 pm

periwinkle

I will make one for you too, Jilly

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

You can skip the mayo...LOL

5:29 pm

periwinkle

I prefer rye with caraway seeds but this was fine

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

Just love avocados...

5:29 pm

periwinkle

me too, Jilly and they are good for us too

5:30 pm

periwinkle

I made a black bean and avocado salad the other day which is always good

5:31 pm

Jillyjill

Gotta move in with you peri!

5:31 pm

periwinkle

:)

5:32 pm

periwinkle

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

Sure! Or you can post on my FB page

Hi uu. How are you this winter's day?

5:38 pm

periwinkle

5:39 pm

uusue2

I am good, gmere! It is going to be rather springlike here for the next couple of days (then winter will be back)

stidgmere

Don't have the n. Would like.

5:41 pm

LuvWordGames

ni 5/16 kind of sounds like the Disney deer

5:41 pm

trentsnana

They've downgraded how much we are getting. Started out at 18"

5:42 pm

trentsnana

Fine with me. A foot is plenty.

5:42 pm

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

Trentsnana, we are planning a stay @ Chico Hot Springs in March...maybe we can arrange a meetup?

5:42 pm

trentsnana

We are going there next weekend!

5:42 pm

stidgmere

nity your clue was perfect!

5:43 pm

trentsnana

Darn! If I had known, I would've booked it then.

5:43 pm

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Are you going under the winter special?

5:43 pm

Lizlin

Good morning :)

5:44 pm

trentsnana

for one of the nights. The other night is considered a "holiday" because of Martin Luther King Day.

5:44 pm

trentsnana

Looking forward to it. We have never been there.

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

Have you been there before?

5:44 pm

uusue2

hi liz!

5:44 pm

stidgmere

Hi Liz. Good morning to you too.

5:44 pm

trentsnana

Have you?

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Stidg - posted pic of terracing - remember, it's still very much work in progress!!!!!

5:45 pm

stidmama

hey all! (((Mother)))

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

For years! The restaurant is absolutely THE best food in this state!!

5:45 pm

trentsnana

We are staying in Gardiner for two nights, too, and going into Yellowstone.

5:45 pm

uusue2

hi stid!

5:45 pm

stidmama

I am making soup for supper... ground turkey and veggies. Hope it'll taste as good as it smells!

5:45 pm

trentsnana

I cannot wait to try it all out.

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

BTW, for another treat, go to the day spa for a river rock massage...

5:46 pm

trentsnana

Doubt hubby will spring for going twice, but it would've been fun to meet up!

5:46 pm

Lizlin

sounds good stud - but am full after brekky!

5:46 pm

trentsnana

Had thought about the massage. Will see if hubby would like a couple's massage.

5:46 pm

Lizlin

stid - sorry auto correction! But hey, stud isn't bad!!!!

5:46 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, we usually do a day trip from Chico through the Lamar Valley (wolves and other wildlife) with a late lunch in Cooke City and back to Chico for dinner.

5:46 pm

uusue2

lol, liz!

5:46 pm

stidmama

Liz! you got flickr to work! It's GORGEOUS! I love the way you sculpted the terraces. And the plants are beautiful. Is the spiky one with striped "leaves" some sort of yucca?

5:47 pm

Lizlin

How r things Sue?

5:47 pm

stidmama

no worries, liz -- it's a common typo!

5:47 pm

stidmama

should I attempt this one?

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

How far are you from Chico, maybe we all could get dinner? Don't have dates yet...

5:47 pm

uusue2

we are good, liz!

5:47 pm

trentsnana

Yup - will probably go to Cooke City and back while we are in Yellowstone. We need to get away and are very much looking forward to it.

5:47 pm

trentsnana

A couple of hours' drive.

5:47 pm

stidgmere

I shall look at the terraces now. Hi mama. Glad you are home Soup sounds good. We had soup for lunch.

5:47 pm

Lizlin

Yes I think it probably is! It was by the path to our front door originally and only knee high but it grew and started attacking people who walked past! It's very spiky!!!!!

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

Now I must poof, but will try and stay in contact trentsnana as dates secure.

5:48 pm

trentsnana

Will have to see. We have a lot going on in March this year, unfortunately.

5:48 pm

stidmama

your soup yesterday smelled a lot better than this one, but mine has WAY more garlic (home grown)! :-)

5:48 pm

uusue2

bye, Jill!

5:48 pm

stidmama

Later jilly.

5:48 pm

trentsnana

Okay, let me know...

Thanks lizlin..will bbl

5:48 pm

It's lovely, I am glad you put it where it can be its full self without hurting anyone. I did that with a couple kids today... *wicked teacher grin*

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

Bye stiddy

5:49 pm

uusue2

can I get stats for the 7s?

5:49 pm

Lizlin

Love that wicked teacher grin - brings back memories!!!!!

5:49 pm

stidmama

The bougainvillea's amazing, too -- we can't grow them here, I don't think.

5:49 pm

Lizlin

ad 7 /36 and th 7 / 44

5:49 pm

uusue2

thanks, liz! *thinks*

5:49 pm

trentsnana

clue for the th7?

5:50 pm

Lizlin

We planted the bougainvillea and it's finally beginning to be the way we want - we've open parkland at the back and it's a bit of extra protection!

5:50 pm

bichon

blood clots that travel

5:50 pm

Lizlin

th 7 - think blood clots

5:50 pm

uusue2

thanks, bichon! and liz! nbs!

5:51 pm

trentsnana

thnx, got it!

5:51 pm

stidmama

shall I share a success story? I was in the teacher's lounge today trying to find the mailbox for the classroom I was in, and introduced myself. The other teacher I have subbed for in the building was SO complimentary! (this was only my second time there). I felt "loved" -- particularly when she said she was sad I wasn't available to come in for her next week.

5:51 pm

bichon

yvw

5:51 pm

uusue2

nice, stid!

5:51 pm

periwinkle

that is a lovely story, stid.

5:51 pm

stidmama

It's one of those schools where, when I walk through the doors it "feels" right. Some schools, not so much... but this one is lovely.

5:51 pm

Lizlin

That's brilliant - just a few positive words make you feel so good

5:52 pm

bichon

re 6/33, pls

5:52 pm

Lizlin

Hope you get lots more work there - perhaps make your feelings known to them and they'll put you high on their list

5:52 pm

stidmama

:-) exactly -- and the kids today were just lovely, and the ones who were inclined not to be I was able to put where their energy was not going to get them in trouble. win-win-win!

5:52 pm

Lizlin

re 6 / 33 - a colour + i*** state

5:53 pm

stidgmere

Liz. Those pictures are great. I made two comments but don't know if they will disappear or stay for you to read. How clever you are to get the photos available for us. Thank you.

5:53 pm

bichon

tyvm Liz

5:53 pm

stidmama

thanks for that re 6 -- would not have monkeyed it!

5:53 pm

Lizlin

Bet you feel great tonight, stud :)

5:53 pm

Lizlin

stid - sorry!!!!!!

5:54 pm

stidmama

LOL liz!! as long as ruru's not around, it's fine... *looks suspiciously over shoulder* he'll never let me live it down. ;-)

5:54 pm

Lizlin

Don't see the comments but perhaps they'll show up later!

5:54 pm

Lizlin

I'll try to remember to read before I post - but that slows things down! Have to go now - making bread. BBL :)

5:55 pm

stidmama

Let's see -- mother commented on one of the whale pics, I bet -- and something encouraging on the terracing one, right? *mind-reading mode now off*

5:55 pm

stidmama

later liz!

5:56 pm

stidgmere

Yes. Mama, reminded me of my sister's Calif. house and the whales are so amazing!

5:57 pm

stidmama

indeed, it does! but it lacks the satellite dish doubling as a wisteria scaffold...

5:57 pm

periwinkle

missing a pe5/12. I have the man's name.

5:57 pm

stidmama

thanks for the man's name

5:57 pm

stidmama

pe 5/16 I think peri?

5:57 pm

stidmama

it's like the pe 4 in front, with a higher-point tile at the end

5:57 pm

periwinkle

no, a pe5/12 there are two of them

5:57 pm

stidgmere

Well. There are differences, too but unless you've seen the frame of the satellite dish in action, it is impossible to see how it becomes garden furniture.

5:58 pm

bichon

pe + I can ***ch if it were closer

5:58 pm

stidmama

oh, I wasn't paying attention, sorry peri

5:58 pm

6:14 pm

Deutsch

swmbo is in the grid today. Here's to swimmy.

6:15 pm

MollyL

Having a list and having Lickety's list are two different things. Lickety's list is so nice, putting all the words in their correct order. I always miss him when he takes a day off.

6:15 pm

MollyL

Hooray for She Who Must Be Obeyed! : D

6:15 pm

stidmama

well spotted, deutsch!

6:17 pm

Hi sis -- the "new" car is okay -- not nearly as nice as my deceased one, but it has AWD, useful for where I live.

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

Here too, we got dumped on last night by heavy wet white stiff

6:27 pm

Yesterday I spotted the identical twin to my dear departed Toyota "Baby Lexus". Gave it a kiss.

6:31 pm

hi cos!

6:31 pm

jillibus

This Subaru Impreza doesn't have all the handy cubbyholes for stuff, no moon-roof, no leather seats and steering wheel, less back seat room, smaller trunk. But it's peppy and has a nice tight turning circle (so did the Toyota).

6:31 pm

scrambler

love your profile cos!

6:31 pm

6:42 pm

jillibus

6:42 pm

LeslieAnn

thank you dear

6:42 pm

MollyL

It's Dee's list.

6:43 pm

jillibus

Sprite's list is clearer

6:45 pm

jillibus

Why don't people look in BabAnon for lists? There's usually one posted there eventually.

6:45 pm

LeslieAnn

because i am lazy and figured someone would answer me quicker

6:46 pm

MollyL

Clearer?

6:46 pm

jillibus

I answered almost as fast as Molly, lol!

6:47 pm

LeslieAnn

yes but it's only one click to molly's profilee

6:47 pm

LeslieAnn

*profile

6:47 pm

jillibus

Clearer because Dee doesn't separate the sections and Sprite does as do others. Maybe you did, Molly -- I didn't look.

6:48 pm

MollyL

Yes, I always separate the sections. And it's okay LA, it's not a contest about the list. A lot of people post them, just to be helpful.

6:48 pm

jillibus

Ah, I see you did, Molly. Wtg.

6:49 pm

LeslieAnn

em6?

6:50 pm

MollyL

em + the guy you work for

6:50 pm

jillibus

I mentioned BabAnon because when I got here nobody had mentioned having posted a list so I went there right away and found Sprite's.

6:50 pm

LeslieAnn

aha thanks

6:51 pm

jillibus

I have the ho 5/18 but not the other ho5s -- any clues available?

6:51 pm

jillibus

oh -- just got ho5/14

6:51 pm

Some people have trouble accessing Babanon. I'm not sure why.

6:52 pm

MollyL

Jilly, I like your Jilly Bus. : D

6:52 pm

The Presidential Inauguration Committee just called.

7:09 pm

MollyL

Cool Cos, how is Barry?

7:10 pm

jillibus

Wow! They want you to attend?

7:12 pm

cosdem

not sure yet.. it was all vague

7:13 pm

jillibus

but maybe? I remember you signed Barry...and he signed back, right?

7:14 pm

cosdem

not sure if i have to pay.. i think i do and i wont... but ill know more tomorrow

7:14 pm

cosdem

ugh chat didnt send my previous message

7:14 pm

jillibus

I don't see why you would have to pay if you're invited

7:15 pm

cosdem

they said the general public tickets were sold out but they have some special tickets or something. not sure if its free or not

7:15 pm

jillibus

please send it again!

7:15 pm

jillibus

ah, I see.

7:15 pm

MollyL

An "invitation" to such things is not always free of cost.

7:16 pm

jillibus

hmpf

7:16 pm

cosdem

right. fun to dream though

7:17 pm

jillibus

You'd probably get a better view on TV -- but then, they did pick you out somehow -- or did you apply for general public tickets?

7:18 pm

LeslieAnn

what on Earth are these rh's

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Hi again - they're all to do with mathematical shape

7:36 pm

uusue2

7:36 pm

Lizlin

Good thing that she is a babbler too!

7:37 pm

Jellen

Arrgh! I thought I tried that!!

7:37 pm

jillibus

Oh? Who, then?

7:38 pm

Jellen

Thank you, jilli!

7:38 pm

jillibus

Yvw, jellen!

7:39 pm

jillibus

Who is the babbler visiting Liz?

7:40 pm

stidmama

hey all ((((((((JILL)))))))) about time you showed up before I was asleep!

7:40 pm

jillibus

Hi stid -- as usual, I arrived just as you left, earlier!

7:41 pm

jillibus

Lovely flower, stid

7:41 pm

stidmama

LOL we have (im)perfect timing!

7:41 pm

jillibus

too raight, mate!

7:41 pm

stidmama

thanks jill -- saw ixia in the grid the other day and had to do it. How are you feeling?

7:42 pm

jillibus

Improving, stid, but not there yet -- saw the doc today -- BP sky high from stress -- see him again next week. Stress should be subsiding, now that I have wheels again and that part settled. Sort of.

7:44 pm

stidmama

wow jill -- wish there were something I could do to help

7:44 pm

jillibus

No more Advil for the muscular pain -- bad for BP.as I knew, but it was the only thing that helped.

7:44 pm

uusue2

ah, same here, jilli, I have flexeril instead but it puts me to sleep

7:44 pm

uusue2

not that that is always a bad thing...

7:44 pm

jillibus

Just have to let my old bod help itself -- doc says I'm tough, lol!

7:45 pm

uusue2

he is right :-)

7:46 pm

Lizlin

Jilli - can't write the name - always worry that people might be identified - then it tells them about the house being empty. Also will not ever put publicly when I travel!

7:46 pm

jillibus

He gave me some Ativan to help sleep with sore right side.

7:47 pm

stidmama

you're so smart, liz!

7:47 pm

jillibus

Wise, Liz.

7:47 pm

uusue2

Good thinking, liz! When I publicized my Canada babble trip, Frank was still at home

7:47 pm

Lizlin

If the person choses to mention that they

7:47 pm

Lizlin

they're here, that's up to them.

7:48 pm

stidmama

Tom rarely goes places with me -- he doesn't have a passport...

Thank you! I'm anxious but excited.

8:47 pm

What will you be studying

8:47 pm

Jellen

My concentration will be in composition and rhetoric.

8:48 pm

stidmama

Jellen, I think you'll do fine.

8:48 pm

stidmama

Helpful hint: don't ask the teacher "how long" a paper is supposed to be *wicked student-mama-teacher look*

8:48 pm

Jellen

My first class is a seminar on American Romantic Vision

8:49 pm

Jellen

lol stid.

8:49 pm

stidmama

hey again, had to rush off and grab kid from town early.

8:49 pm

stidmama

It has been a strange day...

8:51 pm

wht

Sounds like it will be interesting, Jellen.

8:52 pm

wht

I need to be going. Happy Babbling all.

8:52 pm

Jellen

Yes, I think so. I've already studied some of the novels we'll be reading in class, so I feel slightly more comfortable going in...

8:52 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams wht

8:52 pm

Jellen

Bye, wht!

8:53 pm

stidmama

:-) yes, getting some of the reading out of the way early always seemed to help me, too.

8:53 pm

Jellen

I think I'm stuck.

8:54 pm

Jellen

In the grid, that is.

8:55 pm

stidmama

I am at 32 and probably won't finish tonight. Have to be up early (assuming it doesn't snow) to drive teens and judge a debate tournament. It's a treat to do it, but getting going in the morning is harder than it used to be.

8:56 pm

Jellen

Stid, I am proud to say I made it to all but one class last semester, and it was an 8am class.

8:57 pm

stidmama

good for you!

8:57 pm

stidmama

and how is the teaching bit going now?

8:58 pm

9:08 pm

welki

it is frozen - we've had about a foot of snow since yesterday and temps are near 7F

9:08 pm

stidmama

brrrr snow was forecast for us, but so far we are dodging the bullet. We have had lower precip than normal for a couple weeks. It's weird. It's also colder than normal.

9:09 pm

welki

wind chills are pretty severe here - i walk about three blocks from where i park my car to work and it was a looooong walk back this afternoon

9:11 pm

dan2bit

9:26 pm

jillibus

(Doc said I need to chill out -- BP too high)

9:28 pm

jillibus

one thing I don't have to worry about now is snow, with my slightly used Subaru and its AWD, I'm told.

9:29 pm

jillibus

my daughter is called corey liz by my family, elizabeth is a family name on both sides, even tho i am "just beth"

11:04 pm

westford

all in the family lol

11:07 pm

westford

our beth is just beth too..her mom liked Little Women

11:07 pm

bethn

i always wished I was elizabetth, the area where i grew up people tend not to say "th" so i was Bet to most of the adults and some of the kids, I never liked it...

11:08 pm

westford

'bet' is cute though

11:08 pm

westford

do you need help with your r words?

11:09 pm

bethn

I asked my mom why she named me after the one who died in little women. She told me I was named for a woman who was kind to her as a little girl. Her family was very poor, and this lady took my mom to the dentist and made sure she had a warm coat. It made me feel better, but i still wished people could say my name

11:09 pm

westford

she sounds like a lovely person to be named for

11:11 pm

westford

my mom wanted to name me after her favorite actress..Hedy Lamarr..thank goodness she didn't lol

11:12 pm

bethn

that could have given you some grief as a kid

11:12 pm

westford

guess that was a popular thing to do in the 40's..lots of Shirleys

11:12 pm

westford

I'm plain old Nancy

11:14 pm

bethn

One of my best friends is a nancy, I like it. I think if you love the person the name becomes attractive as well.

11:14 pm

nrkii

nothing plain about Nancy :)

11:14 pm

westford

that's a sweet thought

11:15 pm

westford

hi nrkii

11:15 pm

nrkii

My "n" is for Nancy

11:15 pm

nrkii

and hi there!

11:15 pm

bethn

conversely there are names i dislike because the people I associate them with are pukey.

11:15 pm

bethn

hi nrkii

11:16 pm

westford

please to meet you Nancy..we'll have to start a club

11:16 pm

westford

Ruby is Nancy too

11:17 pm

nrkii

11:17 pm

westford

11:18 pm

nrkii

okay, she's not in the club :)

11:18 pm

westford

lol

11:18 pm

nrkii

I'm determined to finish this grid before it finishes me

11:18 pm

nrkii

4 to go

11:18 pm

bethn

when we were first married my DH had a boss with a young son named Travis. Every day he would come home with new horror stories of terrible things the kid had done. As a then childless person I thought they were hysterical and promised to name a possible son Travis if one ever occurred. He did, and I did, and it seems the name Travis has some inherently bad childhood behavior associated with it. : P

11:19 pm

westford

oh no..a self fulfilling prophecy

11:19 pm

westford

it's still a good strong name

11:20 pm

bethn

yep, no one to blame but myself. face like an angel but OMG what a kid. the family called him Khadaffi

11:21 pm

nrkii

My father wanted to name me Gilbert (I think he even wanted to pronounce it as if I were a Canadian hockey player). At the time, they did not expect a girl, because they had only had boys. My mother struck a deal... if I was a boy, she'd name me (Greg) and if I was a girl (never happen) he'd name me (Nancy).

11:21 pm

westford

oh no..poor you

11:21 pm

nrkii

And so... my mom and I share a name.

11:21 pm

westford

the poor you was for beth

11:22 pm

westford
