I'm turning into an owl - sleep all day, up all night.

3:05 am

grannyrose

sarah, you tell 'em, girl. this is not good enough.

3:06 am

grannyrose

awww christine. am sorry you are going through this. been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

3:07 am

sarah6girls

i just texted mum to let her know am sick of it now rose i do not need this and poor amie do not need this every day she goes to school x

3:08 am

Christine

It's my own fault: I read in bed, and suddenly, it's 5am, and I'm sleepy. Dhouldn't take a book to bed, but there's not been a good offer for an alternative, for way too long.

3:08 am

Christine

*Shouldn't

3:09 am

grannyrose

poor amie...please tell her to be strong...she will beat this....

3:09 am

Christine

Darn, I keep trying mulish

3:10 am

grannyrose

lol, christine, i hear you sister, i hear you.

3:10 am

sarah6girls

had tears this morning not wanting to go to school make me so sad rose

3:10 am

flosey

I tried it too Christine

3:10 am

Christine

Anything against our babies is the worst. There's nothing we won't do for our children. Go Sarah, and tell them you have back-up, in Oz and US.

3:11 am

pierrot

i only found one 7-letter word

3:11 am

grannyrose

aww sarah, [[[amie}}}

3:11 am

Christine

Oh, pierrot, that's just one more than I found.

3:12 am

pierrot

i want to go to bed, but now i have a challenge. i keep telling myself one more word, then another, then another...

3:13 am

grannyrose

7's are am, fa, ha, mu, re, sh, ur

3:13 am

Christine

Another reason I'm up, all night -- just one more word. Especially if the stats shows only one or two from that tile.

3:13 am

Haz1558

pierrot, it's very addictive when you start this game. The good thing is that there are 20 hours until the grid changes so you CAN go to bed.

3:13 am

grannyrose

*giggle* christine...exactly

3:14 am

grannyrose

hey haz

3:14 am

Haz1558

Hello, grannyrose and everyone.

3:16 am

flosey

Hi Haz, time for me to get to bed, goodnight all, 67 words to go - probably get them tomorrow

3:16 am

Christine

But then, Haz, you lie in bed, thinking of the grid, sure there's that one word waiting to be entered. So, you make a pot of te, to keep you company, and there goes another two hours. Time to read another chapter, find another word ... thank the Lord I'm retired. I'm sure I couldn't have handled having a computer at home, if I had to go to work, each morning.

3:16 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, flosey.

3:16 am

Christine

Goodnight, Flosey. Sleep well.

3:16 am

grannyrose

night flosey, rest and sleep well, hun

3:18 am

Haz1558

Maybe it's because I start the grid in the morning rather than the evening; there's no conflict between sleeping and word searching.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Yay! 65 hours without electricity was certainly long enough for me! Really have sympathy for those on the East Coast of America after the hurricane! At least it's warm here!

3:22 am

Christine

Sometimes I do that, if I'm deep into my book and don't notice the time. Then I copy the grid, and peck at it through the day, while I'm doing other things. Problem is, on those days, I forget to sign on in time to enter my wordlist. Some of us have a very hard life !!

3:22 am

Christine

Oh Lizlin - did you forget to pay the electricity bill?

3:23 am

Lizlin

LOL! No! This was an aftereffect of Cyclone Oswald, which ravaged QLD and Northern New South Wales!

3:24 am

Christine

Poor you. Worse than me forgetting to enter my wordlist.

3:25 am

Lizlin

Possibly Christine but things are important depending on the circumstances!!!!!

3:25 am

grannyrose

liz....you're okay!!! good news.

3:26 am

Christine

Iremember when I lived in UK, there was a meter in the cubby under the stairs (the gloryhole), and we had to put in shillings to keep the electricity going. What a pain in the neck, but I guess the Elec.Company didn't have deadbeats using the electricity, then doing a bunk in the night.

3:27 am

Lizlin

It's not been particularly pleasant Rose - the paddock behind and below our house was flooded and we drove back from a wedding in revolting conditions on Sunday. But we used our barbie for cooking and put our meat in a friend's freezer. BTW Rose, I'm now an Aussie!

3:27 am

Lizlin

I remember those meters, Christine!

3:27 am

Christine

When did you get your citizenship, Lizlin?

3:28 am

grannyrose

yay, liz...welcome to ozland, hun. and yay for the bbq.

3:28 am

Lizlin

Saturday night! Lucky really as the place was flooded out and inaccessible on Sunday!

3:28 am

Lizlin

ty Rose!

3:29 am

Lizlin

We got power back about 30 mins ago!

3:29 am

Haz1558

And it's taken you this long to get back to babble?

3:29 am

Haz1558

I question your loyalty to the game.

3:29 am

Lizlin

Reset clocks first and loaded the dishwasher! Fed up of washing up!

3:30 am

grannyrose

lol, haz....some things do have a priorty over babble.

3:30 am

Lizlin

Got here pretty quickly though Haz!!!

3:30 am

Christine

Three days without power? Thank the Lord for accomodating neighbours

3:31 am

Haz1558

Still, half an hour. Some people could have the grid finished in that time....

3:31 am

Lizlin

Very true Christine :)

3:32 am

Lizlin

LOL Haz - not me. Actually the frustrating thing was that on Sunday, just before the power went out, I got the 12 letter word in the grid as my first word! Probably the one and only time I'll ever do that! Then i couldn't complete the grid!!!

3:32 am

Lizlin

I'll try and do better if we lose power again!

3:32 am

demi

welcome back liz!!! :)

3:33 am

Lizlin

ty demi - better than tomorrow night, which is what the last recorded message said!

3:33 am

Haz1558

That would be really frustrating, Liz. Still, you're back now and hopefully you'll get this one finished.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

good morning, friends

3:33 am

Christine

You could've run over to the neighbour, with your laptop, and used her power .. husband could carry the foodstuffs.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

we get frequent short power outages here, nothing to do with weather, but every time, everything has to be re-set

3:34 am

Lizlin

None of the neighbours had power but our friend lives 15 mins drive away - they were at work though and we only had access to the garage!!!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

our fridge is moribund although the technician is coming for one more try at fixing it. We had o buy a little freezer for the garage and a little fridge for the pantry

3:34 am

Lizlin

{Ruby} hope you're well :)

3:34 am

rubyfoo

juggling these knives, hatchets and flaming batons gets tiresome!

3:34 am

Christine

As long as everyone is safe, that's the important thing --- raises eyes to Heaven, with a sanctimonious sigh.

3:35 am

Lizlin

I'll do my best Haz :)

3:35 am

rubyfoo

I was here when you got the 12, lizlon, and then you disappeared!

3:35 am

grannyrose

{{{ruby}}}

3:36 am

Lizlin

Some people died in the cyclone - a 3 yr old was hit by a falling tree in Brisbane - but other people, as always, didn't leave their houses when told to and so the rescue services were stretched as usual!

3:36 am

rubyfoo

3:36 am

Lizlin

250000 houses without power Yesterday, 20000 today and we were in the last 20000!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I found another article onTamania (it's evidently quite the place) and it will be waiting for you when you get home

3:37 am

Lizlin

Sorry didn't get a chance to say "bye" Ruby!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

tas*

3:37 am

Lizlin

Rose - when's your holiday?

3:37 am

Christine

Yeah, in context a little spoiled food and an unfinished grid really don't matter

3:38 am

Lizlin

Very true!

3:38 am

dizgrannie

Hey Liz...which part of Qld?

3:38 am

Lizlin

3:41 am

grannyrose

liz, leaving on thursday...of course the weather has turned cool, so mt. wellington will be under cloud the 4 days we are in hobart....story of my life.

3:42 am

Lizlin

Poor people - saw pictures just before I came to babble - I hope they're safe, Diz and get power soon. 65 hours was long enough!

3:42 am

Lizlin

Perhaps it'll clear by Thursday, Rose.

3:42 am

Lizlin

Hope so :)

3:43 am

rubyfoo

my sister sent me the article about the people who died in Sandy and many of them were electrocuted from the downed power lines -- horrible

3:43 am

rubyfoo

or drowned in their own houses

3:43 am

Lizlin

Time to go - BBL power permitting!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

bye liz

3:45 am

grannyrose

4:57 am

wurdygurl

my kids have their second snow day in a row today. *sigh* I love a good snow day, but they are getting on my nerves

4:57 am

sprite

oh and they get so hyper from snow. Poor you.

4:57 am

wurdygurl

and there is no snow! or ice! I have no idea why no school

4:57 am

wurdygurl

They are teens, they have no hyper. I wish they would just do something other than stare at a screen

4:58 am

sprite

awwww... can't you give them some tasks? Or send them to buy clothes?

4:59 am

wurdygurl

tasks? LMAO Oh that is funny. I made them stop yesterday and do an hour of chores. You would have thought I asked my son to cut off his right arm.

4:59 am

wurdygurl

and I will not reward badittude (my own word) with shopping. I don't even get to go shopping LOL

5:00 am

sprite

yeah, they do protest. But at least they are away from the screen for an hour :)
Let them do the grocery shopping and reward them with a goodie of their own choosing?

5:01 am

wurdygurl

hubs does grocery shopping. I might let them make dinner, although that is a struggle too. But hey, I have nothing else to do today, so bring it kids. Momma's got some coffee and ready for battle!

5:17 am

gapeach

Must head for pillows.....6:15 AM here.....have a good day/night....see y'all later.

5:43 am

sorry, chog froze on me. Back now.

5:44 am

Rows

hey guys, long time no see

5:44 am

Rows

not sure if anyone here might remember me

5:44 am

sprite

hello Rows

5:45 am

Rows

it's probably been a few years lol

5:45 am

Rows

i think i remember you sprite

5:45 am

sprite

drats... not only chog froze, my words haven't been added either.

5:45 am

sprite

I am sort of furniture here, grin. Not sure I remember you... although the spelliing of your name seems to ring a bell.

5:46 am

Rows

i'm glad this place is still around :)

5:46 am

Rows

i am elsh's sister, if you remember her

5:46 am

Rows

i'm American but i live in China now

5:46 am

sprite

yes, I do remember elsh. Haven't seen her in ages though. Wow, China. Interesting, I think?

5:47 am

Rows

haha yes

5:47 am

Rows

interesting is the perfect word for China

5:47 am

sprite

thought it might be :)

5:47 am

Rows

i do like it here though

5:48 am

sprite

can't get a much more different culture, I think.

5:48 am

Rows

you'd be surprised

5:48 am

Rows

actually i've been told China is more American and Japan is more British

5:48 am

Rows

so i'm curious to go to Japan and find out

5:49 am

sprite

when I studied japanese, they told me the only culture further from the dutch one was the chinese one.

5:49 am

Rows

haha

5:50 am

Rows

i could see that potentially being true, though i don't know Dutch culture that well

5:51 am

sprite

do you have plans to go to Japan soon?

5:51 am

Rows

no

5:51 am

Rows

but i work here, so i't's not the easiest thing to just up and go places

5:51 am

sprite

aw too bad. I hope you will get the chance.

5:51 am

Rows

however, the nice thing is, if i live here long enough i will get to see just about all of Asia

5:52 am

Rows

next week i'm going to Hong Kong and Macau, and then in March i'm going on a weekend trip to Kuala Lumpur

5:52 am

sprite

wow sounds awesome!

5:52 am

Rows

so i'm looking forward to all of those, haven't explored any of those places yet

5:52 am

Rows

it'll be Chinese New Year next week :)

5:53 am

Rows

i get 2 weeks off work

5:53 am

wb lyn :)

5:55 am

Rows

:)

5:55 am

Rows

lucky you being in australia this time of year, eh? i was about to comment on how it must be freezing in the Netherlands now

5:56 am

sprite

just started to thaw again here. We had some serious freezing, but it was kinda nice. It is a healthy cold, better than rain and mist.

5:56 am

lynxxx

hot, cyclones, floods, bushfires ...and its actually cold down in Melbourne at the moment - just went and found a cardigan

5:56 am

Rows

yeah it's better than the cold here that traps all the pollution in a cloud over our city, i'm sure

5:56 am

Rows

ha, wow

5:56 am

Rows

crazy

5:57 am

sprite

you are having crazy weather, lyn

5:57 am

lynxxx

Shanghai - that name still has romantic associations. Good to work there Rows?

5:58 am

Rows

it's been so long since i played this game, that i don't actually think i have the software for it anymore :(

5:58 am

Rows

it's good to work here at least in my field

5:58 am

Rows

i'm a teacher

5:59 am

Rows

it's kinda the polar opposite of working as a teacher in the USA

5:59 am

lynxxx

what subject/s?

5:59 am

sprite

just the website will do, Rows, unless you want to use the Babble Expert. But otherwise you don't need any extra software.

5:59 am

Rows

yeah i used to have Babble Expert

5:59 am

Rows

lemme double check my computer and do a search

5:59 am

Rows

i teach English as a Foreign Language and kindergarten

6:01 am

sprite

Rows, you can download the latest version here:
http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8

6:01 am

Rows

oh thanks :)

6:01 am

Rows

once my computer finishes its search i'll probably go download that

6:01 am

sprite

np :)

6:02 am

Rows

so far the closest thing it has found is a song by Frou Frou called Psychobabble

6:02 am

Rows

lol

6:02 am

sprite

lol

6:02 am

sprite

close, but no cigar

6:02 am

Rows

ugh i keep seeing urinal!

6:03 am

sprite

not an uplifting sight

6:03 am

Rows

lol

6:03 am

Rows

ok downloading

6:04 am

sprite

fast and sweet

6:04 am

Rows

got it :)

6:04 am

Rows

yay now i'm on expert

6:05 am

Rows

how do you say "thank you" in dutch?

6:05 am

sprite

good :) Much easier to avoid posting words.

6:06 am

o-o

dank u

6:06 am

sprite

dank je wel

6:06 am

sprite

hello BabbleRabble, good to see you

6:07 am

lynxxx

hi BabRab

6:07 am

Rows

hehe dank je wel

6:07 am

Rows

normally i'd say xie xie

6:07 am

lynxxx

and you are going to have a king Sprite

6:07 am

sprite

yes, dank u is good too, it is more formal. You'd say 'dank u' or 'dankuwel' to elder persons or persons higher in status/rank. And 'dankjewel' to equals.

6:08 am

sprite

so we are, lyn, so we are... sigh...

6:08 am

lynxxx

lol - why the sigh - you don't need any royalty or is he a dud?

6:08 am

wurdygurl

I need help with a d in the upper corner.... I have 4/6 4/6 6/24 4/5 4/5 5/12

6:09 am

sprite

he's a dud. I don't mind royalty much. Especially not the Dutch royalty. But the guy is not what I call royal material ;)

6:09 am

Rows

lol i'm just forgetting how to use Babble Expert

6:09 am

sprite

I think da5/14, wurdy... sounds more or less like a sneeze

6:10 am

Rows

i'm trying entering my words over in the left column thingy but it doesn't seem to add them in the middle one when i do, and vice versa

6:10 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:10 am

lynxxx

You need to open Lickety Add - see up the top

6:10 am

lynxxx

Hi Liz! drowning yet?

6:11 am

sprite

Rows, at the top is a button that says: Lickety Add. When you click that, you will get a little window that you can move to a convenient place, and you enter words and chat into that window.

6:11 am

Rows

haha thanks

6:11 am

sprite

hi Liz!

6:11 am

wurdygurl

Thanks Sprite, now I know what I am looking for. I hate being one away from blacking a box

6:11 am

Lizlin

Almost Lyn - lots written in chog about 2 hours ago. Were without power for 65 hours!

6:11 am

Lizlin

Hi Sprite :)

6:11 am

sprite

omg that is long

6:11 am

lynxxx

oh dear I'll look back -

6:12 am

Rows

uh oh, i just remembered i brought back gluten free brownie mix with me to China from the US, last time i visited

6:13 am

Rows

i should make them... but i'm too lazy lol

6:13 am

Lizlin

it was a real relief, when we got power back but it was and still is a lot worse in some other places in QLD and Northern NSW! But I guess, we're luckier than those who experienced Sandy - at least we were warm!

6:14 am

wurdygurl

does anyone know if there is a babble app for the ipad?

6:14 am

lynxxx

I am glad your houise is safe Liz - sounds as though it was pretty close.

6:14 am

Lizlin

Yes it works well on iPad - but not a special app. Just go to play babble.com.

6:14 am

sprite

no, there isn't, wurdy. Nothing for ipad or apple.

6:14 am

Rows

haha i think the last time i was on babble, there was no such thing as the ipad

6:14 am

wurdygurl

booooooo

6:15 am

lynxxx

Lickety doesn't do apple Wurdy

6:15 am

sprite

the guy who made the expert is not working on apples and doesn't know the language.

6:15 am

wurdygurl

Are Lickety and Dr. God the same people? I thought Lickety was in Australia

6:15 am

Lizlin

True Lyn - but as I said, it's worse in other places, so although I whinged a lot, we got off lightly compared to some.

6:16 am

lynxxx

whinged like a true Aussie -well done!

6:16 am

sprite

no, Dr. God is the owner of Babble. Lickety is the ex-husband of a babble player who invented the Expert for us.

6:17 am

Lizlin

Sorry wurde, I guess I came in part way through a conversation and don't really know what you were looking for!

6:17 am

wurdygurl

np Liz. I just wanted to be able to play on my ipad instead of laptop. No big.

6:17 am

Lizlin

I do play on my iPad - every day! And I can copy words into lickety!

6:18 am

wurdygurl

You open in safari?

6:18 am

Yes!

6:18 am

I am so uncoordinated, its amazing I can even drive.

6:22 am

Rows

you think you're uncoordinated because society tells you you are...

6:22 am

wurdygurl

I guess he doesn't like my taste in partners *snork*

6:22 am

Rows

we're all born with natural rhythm inside us

6:22 am

ChampFit

6:22 am

Rows

6:22 am

6:23 am

sprite

Champ, the babblet for lower and higher school

6:23 am

wurdygurl

do you need all of them Champ?

6:23 am

Rows

zumba isn't a real dance :P

6:23 am

lynxxx

el4.5 Champ

6:23 am

ChampFit

nvm...got it.

6:23 am

ChampFit

ty!

6:23 am

Lizlin

i avoid zumba like the plague! Also uncoordinated but my hubby's great and leads so well when we dance!

6:23 am

sprite

only one E on bottom row, luckily

6:23 am

Rows

besides, i've been teaching swing dancing to beginners for several years now and have never seen someone who can't do the basic footwork

6:23 am

wurdygurl

might not be, Rows, but still involves coordination

6:23 am

Rows

it's ridiculously simple

6:23 am

Rows

:)

6:24 am

wurdygurl

I keep wishing I could get him to learn with me. Instead we are on a bowling league. Sexy, I know

6:24 am

ChampFit

hubby and older daughter had waltz lessons on Sunday, for her Senior Presentation. He didn't want to go, but had a great time.

6:24 am

sprite

aw sweet

6:24 am

Rows

bowling is fun though

6:24 am

Rows

but that, i suck at

6:25 am

sprite

6:25 am

ChampFit

me too. staying in one lane..not so easy

6:25 am

Rows

congrats :)

6:25 am

wurdygurl

Bowling I give myself permission to suck at. If I didn't I would be too competitive and not have any fun. We have been bowling for 3 years and my average is 94. I have perhaps too much fun?

6:25 am

ChampFit

wtg Sprite!

6:25 am

6:26 am

Rows

i mean everyone starts somewhere

6:26 am

ChampFit

I need something for the second o on the top row please.

6:26 am

Rows

you start learning, practice, and get better without even noticing it

6:26 am

6:26 am

lynxxx

6:37 am

kyleteresa

Mollusks.... good eating right there! :)

6:37 am

Rows

they eat food that isn't even easy to get, and they have to be coerced into mating

6:38 am

7:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i would have time if i could ever get organized. i need ot hire an organizer. i am only seeing my space one way and i KNOW i have more than enough space but it does not woek

7:32 am

Mom

:-) It is tough to do that.

7:33 am

Mom

maybe a friend could come over and would see things differently

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i would be embarrassed. anyone who would understand would be similarly challenged

7:34 am

Mom

I completely understand that

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

but i do know an organizer throughmy social group.

7:34 am

Mom

there you go, might be worth it

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

and once things are under control i want to put organizers in my closet.

7:35 am

Mom

those are really neat, I have seen some in different stores

7:35 am

72 Temple Owl

she is just a really fun person,too

7:36 am

Mom

then that would make short order of the work to be done.

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

LOLl she is also very short. shorter than I:)

7:36 am

Mom

I hate to run but I need to get in gear and get out. ((Hugs)) to all of you and make it a great day

MimiCat

7:48 am

feels a bit funny to be younger than everyone, as usually i'm the older/oldest in my groups of friends

7:48 am

mixi6

ma8, a sailing term.

7:48 am

Rows

as expats in Shanghai go, though, the people around my age are generally younger than me

7:48 am

car.eeyore

Back again from shoveling

7:48 am

mixi6

all 8's and 9 are combo words.

7:48 am

smores

car.eeyore

7:49 am

7:49 am

7:50 am

Rows

the 20s are really quite the time for maturing it seems

7:50 am

MimiCat

Some of us are wise beyond our years and others couldn't be wise if you smacked 'em repeatedly with a philosophy book no matter how old they are!

7:50 am

smores

Much better! Off to school!

7:51 am

Rows

:)

7:51 am

smores

Yes, car, how was his 1st day back?

7:51 am

Anniebrook

good

7:51 am

MimiCat

The thing about your 20's is that you believe you already know everything....what a shock to get older and realize it isn't so!

7:51 am

Rows

hehe yep

7:51 am

car.eeyore

TY Annie, and everyone, for asking and sending prayers and good wishes. {[hugs}}

7:51 am

Rows

it's definitely humbling

7:52 am

MimiCat

At age 61 not only do I not have all the answers, I'm not even sure I understand most of the questions anymore!

7:52 am

car.eeyore

My cranberry orange muffin was over too soon this morning. :(

7:52 am

MimiCat

Happy for you, car.

7:52 am

smores

I realized I didn't know everything when I was about 18, just didn't give a crap until I was about 30

7:52 am

MimiCat

Not about the muffin!

7:52 am

MimiCat

LOL, smores.

7:53 am

Rows

haha smores i think i've gone through a bit of that as well

7:53 am

smores

:)

7:53 am

smores

Fortunately, I have mellowed considerably

7:54 am

MimiCat

I don't believe it for a second, smores!

7:54 am

Rows

though i think as time goes on i just realize there's certain things i'm not meant to really know a lot about, and certain things i do need to focus on learning and figuring out

7:54 am

smores

Not just fortunate for me, but mainly those who have to put up with me..lol

7:54 am

mael

hi all, good morning

7:54 am

smores

So true Rows

7:54 am

Rows

i mean, i don't even know where i'm going to be living a year from now and that's okay

7:54 am

car.eeyore

Good morning mael!

7:54 am

smores

Hiya mael :)

7:54 am

o-o

I tell people if they need a little information to come to me since I have as little as anyone.

7:54 am

MimiCat

I have a busy week ahead looking for work and dealing with issues....send good vibes, please.

7:54 am

Rows

as long as i have figured out how to take care of myself in the meantime

7:55 am

Anniebrook

hi mael

7:55 am

car.eeyore

:)

7:55 am

smores

Always Mimi :)

7:55 am

MimiCat

Hi, mael. And, morning, Annie!

7:55 am

Anniebrook

>>>>>>sending good vibes to Mimi>>>>>>

7:55 am

MimiCat

Also, hi BR!!

7:55 am

car.eeyore

I will send good vibes your way, Mimi!

7:55 am

mael

I'll send all the good vibes too, my week's looking nuts as well

7:56 am

MimiCat

Thank you, car!!

7:56 am

smores

Nice BR, I little it

7:56 am

mael

but at least no travel until next week!

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Vibes for Mael as well!

7:56 am

MimiCat

Thanks, mael....right back at 'ya.

7:56 am

Rows

where are you travelling?

7:56 am

mael

atlanta, for business

7:57 am

mael

just a couple of days, but I'd much rather be home instead :)

7:57 am

Rows

ah, that's cool though

7:57 am

Rows

i've never been to Atlanta

7:57 am

MimiCat

I used to live in Atlanta, mael. My best friend of 43 years is there....so is my car....long story.

7:57 am

Rows

and you're lucky you get to travel for business... i *move* for business, not travel

7:57 am

mael

haha, better in the winter than in the summer, it's brutal down there

7:57 am

Rows

kinda wish it were different although at least i still do get to see more of the world with my job than some might

7:57 am

MimiCat

I used to sing in the original "underground" in the clubs there....it was wonderful.

7:58 am

smores

Where did you move from Rows?

7:58 am

Rows

California

7:58 am

mael

ouch, rows, I don't know if I could move elsewhere. But at the same time sometimes I wonder if I miss out, you know what I mean?

7:58 am

Rows

i've been to a lot of places in the US but not Atlanta

7:58 am

smores

How long have you been in China?

7:58 am

Rows

living in a foreign country as an expat is an experience unlike anything else you can do, really, and i think it's definitely worth it

7:59 am

Rows

almost a year and a half

7:59 am

MimiCat

Rows, I lived in the LA area for 7 years before marrying and moving here to Phoenix....loved it and still miss it. Where were you?

7:59 am

Rows

San Francisco

7:59 am

mael

that sounds awesome, actually. I've been in the US seven and I still feel like I'm a traveler, some days :)

8:00 am

Rows

where are you from, Mael?

8:00 am

car.eeyore

Wait! I hang with CAptain Morgan a lot...does that make me a rum he4/6?

8:00 am

mael

Italy, moved here for college and stayed

8:00 am

MimiCat

My favorite place!! I actually have a picture of The Golden Gate Bridge hanging in my dining room! Did you ever get to Carmel/Monterrey?

8:00 am

Rows

yeah i actually grew up in San Luis Obispo, which isn't far from Carmel

8:00 am

mael

potentially, car ;)

8:00 am

smores

:) car...

8:01 am

mael

and I've loved San Francisco the times I've visited, it's an awesome city

8:01 am

Rows

that's awesome Mael

8:01 am

car.eeyore

Prefer the term rum wench anyway!

8:01 am

Rows

that's awesome Mael
i would love to visit Italy

8:01 am

car.eeyore

It is more piratey!

8:01 am

MimiCat

Beautiful there. I used to go to Big Sur and dine at Nepenthe...combo art gallery, restaurant.

8:01 am

smores

LOL...

8:01 am

o-o

Vietnam was a bit of culture shock .... people I did not know were trying to make my life difficult.

8:01 am

Rows

ah, haven't been there. i just miss the wine

8:02 am

Rows

in China it isn't easy to find good wine, or if you can find decent wine it's expensive

8:02 am

smores

Eek not good BR

8:02 am

MimiCat

Wow, mael. I have always wanted to take a culinary tour of Italy. Somehow I feel most of us are Italian in our hearts....and stomachs!

8:02 am

mael

Italy's great, just not someplace you'd like to live in long term. Lots of issues with jobs and politicians these days (sorta like everywhere, but you know)

8:02 am

Rows

haha BabRab that's kinda what China feels like at first i think... it's quite hard when you can't speak their language as well

8:02 am

mael

the food is ridiculous and the thing I miss the most

8:02 am

Rows

oh :/ well i'd still love to visit Italy sometime

8:03 am

mael

I try to cook as often as I can, but I just can't find ingredients as fresh as those I can get at home

8:03 am

car.eeyore

<---- fuels up Babble Air jet to head to Italy....

8:03 am

Rows

oh man, i can't even imagine

8:03 am

MimiCat

Sounds like here in Arizona....political hell.

8:03 am

Rows

American food... i can find it easily enough in Shanghai

8:03 am

Rows

and i like Chinese food anyway

8:03 am

mael

visiting is awesome! it's beautiful and the food is delicious and we're actually all pretty nice to tourists. :)

8:03 am

smores

:) Chinese and Italian are my fav foods

8:04 am

hurshy

mimi, i heard that some arizona lawmakers were proposing not to let atheists graduate HS. i'm not a fan of atheists, but yowza.

8:04 am

Rows

smores have you tried authentic Chinese food?

8:04 am

o-o

Just curious, Rose .... you ever rows the boat ashore?

8:04 am

smores

What?!? wow, that is crazy

8:04 am

car.eeyore

Hi Hurshy!

8:04 am

Rows

:P

8:04 am

MimiCat

Oh, yeah...it's the wild west here. I think it's a prerequisite for politicians to be insane...or at least incompetent.

8:04 am

car.eeyore

Ouch BR.

8:05 am

MimiCat

I hadn

8:05 am

smores

Yes, Rows, there is a wonderful little place close to me

8:05 am

MimiCat

I hadn't heard about what you mentioned, though...think it's a rumor.

8:05 am

mael

I've had authentic chinese food in, well, NYC and it was delicious

8:05 am

Rows

oh good... i think a lot of Americans don't realize that what is marketed as "Chinese" food in America isn't all that close to what people eat here

8:05 am

smores

I do like the "no so authentic" as well

8:06 am

car.eeyore

OK...off I go. Have to get mom ready for her doctor's appointment and then I have to crank out some work. Leading a cub scout meeting this afternoon and there is more shoveling in the back of the house to do. Ugh.

8:06 am

Rows

in America it is much oilier, more fried, salty, etc. and of course huge serving sizes

8:06 am

car.eeyore

I wish you all a wonderful day! I sending good thoughts and prayers to all. {{hugs}}

8:06 am

mael

have a great day, car! good luck with everything

8:06 am

Rows

here there is more of a variety of flavors

8:06 am

MimiCat

Take care and have a good day, car. ((hug))

8:06 am

Rows

take care car, see you :)

8:06 am

car.eeyore

Nice "meeting" you Rows!

8:07 am

smores

Bye car..have a wonderful day dear :)

8:07 am

o-o

That is not surprising, Rows, China is quite a distance from the US.

8:07 am

Rows

you too!

8:07 am

MimiCat

Now I'm getting hungry for sesame chicken!

8:07 am

Rows

yeah, although there are a lot of Chinese immigrants in the US

8:07 am

smores

General Tso's chicken and fried rice...mmmm

8:07 am

hurshy

well, it's not that atheists wouldn't be allowed to graduate. it's just they would have to say this oath, which ends with "so help me God". so if they didn't want to... http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlya\ntheist/2013/01/25/arizona-republicans-\npropose-bill-that-would-not-allow-athe\nists-to-graduate-high-school/

8:08 am

Rows

but they changed the style of their dishes to suit the tastes of Americans... same as how KFC and McDonald's here have different menus for the Chinese, to suit their tastes

8:08 am

o-o

Wonders if Uncle Ben was trained in China?

8:08 am

mael

which I think is insane, hurshy. But I have to say the pledge of allegiance weirds me out too, as a non-USian

8:09 am

MimiCat

Ah, hurshy...certainly sounds like Arizona. I really want to move back to California but it's too expensive. Just looking for a mountaintop in the high country now.......

8:09 am

o-o

Federal law says you do not have to say the pledge of allegiance

8:09 am

Rows

i want to move back to CA but there are no jobs for me there

8:09 am

hurshy

well the funny thing is, i always said the pledge in school, but never once MEANT it or thought about what it meant. it was mainly viewed as a fun challenge to see who could say it the fastest.

8:09 am

Rows

:/

8:10 am

mael

what's your field, rows?

8:10 am

Rows

i'm a teacher

8:10 am

MimiCat

I think it's ridiculous that so many find swearing on a Bible to denote truth---what if you don't believe in the Bible?

8:10 am

hurshy

not sure what having kids say the pledge really accomplishes, then. what are they gonna do, sue me if i don't maintain allegiance to the US?

8:10 am

Rows

specifically, i'm trained in ESL and EFL teaching

8:11 am

Rows

so i'm here teaching English as a Foreign Language and kindergarten

8:11 am

mael

I take it you're on a teaching-abroad program?

8:11 am

o-o

Master Chinese, Rows, and teach it as a foreign language and do kindergarten

8:11 am

Rows

Ha, sure, if i want to stay here for another 10 years

8:12 am

MimiCat

Teachers should be so much more valued than they often are....and paid MUCH more.

8:12 am

Rows

i've been here for almost a year and a half and speak just enough Chinese to do all the things I need to do in my daily life and to communicate with my students and colleagues

8:12 am

Rows

but i can speak Spanish... now the trick is to get a job in a country that speak Spanish

8:12 am

o-o

There is a course being advertised as learning Chinese in 10,000 easy lessons

8:12 am

MimiCat

I think we have a view of China as being quite oppressive....is that accurate?

8:12 am

Rows

then i can perfect my Spanish and come back to the US being fully bilingual and also speaking some Chinese

8:12 am

mael

yeah, I'm an atheist not particularly nationalistic, so the pledge of allegiance just strikes me as... trying to forcefully shape kids into an ideal citizen that is no longer relevant

8:13 am

hurshy

but it doesn't WORK anyway!

8:13 am

Rows

agreed Mimi... and no, it's not oppressive

8:13 am

mael

rows, one of my good friends was in your same program, she came back and went to business school :(

8:13 am

Rows

for being a communist country it's really one of the least communist countries i've seen tbh

8:13 am

hurshy

unless you want to say something against the government...

8:14 am

Rows

Mael, what do you mean "my program"?

8:14 am

MimiCat

Very interesting, Rows....good to become better educated about that.

8:14 am

Anniebrook

what happened to the chat? It is so wide now I cannot read the end of the senttences

8:14 am

o-o

Many Americans talk about the Constitution without ever reading it ... and really do not know what they are talking about.

8:14 am

Rows

someone pasted a link... it does that when the links are too long :/

8:15 am

hurshy

sorry guess it's my fault then

8:15 am

Rows

don't worry, i did the same thing earlier

8:15 am

smores

very true BR

8:15 am

Rows

it'll go back to normal eventually

8:15 am

Anniebrook

hursh, can you undo the link, then?

8:15 am

Anniebrook

okay, thanks

8:15 am

hurshy

it will fix once it scrolls off the bottom

8:15 am

mael

sorry, rows, I assumed it was something like the JET program is for teaching english in japan

8:15 am

hurshy

luckily we're talking a lot

8:16 am

Rows

anyway, i was gonna say that i feel the only effect of communism in my life is that i have to have a VPN to access things like facebook, youtube, blog sites, twitter, etc.

8:16 am

smores

:)

8:16 am

mael

she was in shanghai :)

8:16 am

Rows

but i have a really good reliable one so it's not even an issue

8:16 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito!

8:16 am

Anniebrook

yes, and a good conversation

8:16 am

MimiCat

Does the government monitor your communication, Rows?

8:16 am

Rows

and no, i've got my certification for teaching already and whatnot, and i'm teaching at a bilingual kindergarten here

8:16 am

Anniebrook

better now, thanks

8:16 am

o-o

Rows, have you seen any roes in China?

8:16 am

Anniebrook

YAY dawg!!!

8:17 am

smores

WooHoo Dawg !!! congrats :)

8:17 am

o-o

Congrats, lb

8:17 am

Rows

haha if the government is monitoring my communication, they must be really bored

8:17 am

MimiCat

Good for you, dawg---didn't even know you were there!

8:17 am

Rows

and BR, enough with the silly jokes about my name...

8:17 am

hurshy

has everyone got ariel's father? me6

8:18 am

smores

yep, got that one right away :)

8:18 am

mael

rows, that's awesome. What made you pick China?

8:18 am

o-o

So you are offended?

8:18 am

Rows

oh i didn't really pick it... i applied for teaching jobs all over the place, and a company in China was the first to offer me a decent job

8:18 am

hurshy

one can be mildly annoyed without being offended...

8:18 am

Rows

not offended really, just rolling my eyes

8:19 am

MimiCat

My eldest son lived in Japan for 3 months and loved it...learned some Japanese and even learned to write it a bit.

8:19 am

Rows

yeah, i'd love to go to Japan

8:19 am

mael

I admire your drive, then, it's really cool to be capable of upending your life and starting in another country

8:19 am

smores

I don't think I could ever learn the writing

8:20 am

MimiCat

Yes, very brave.

8:20 am

mael

japan's awesome, I spent five weeks there when i graduated high school

8:20 am

mael

it's not as hard as you think, smores

8:20 am

Rows

well it's not the easiest thing in the world, but at the same time i'm not sure what else i'd have done

8:20 am

o-o

I am amused.

8:20 am

Rows

the writing in Japanese?

8:20 am

mael

yeah

8:20 am

smores

yeah

8:21 am

smores

teehee

8:21 am

MimiCat

We need to remember we're all more alike than different and learn to embrace the differences as making life more interesting.

8:21 am

Rows

haha i'd rather try that than Chinese... even simplified Chinese is crazy

8:21 am

mael

I mean, it's hard, but kanji is fascinating and not as dramatically complicated as people think

8:21 am

hurshy

i was overwhelmed by culture shock just from going to tennessee, nevermind asia...

8:21 am

hurshy

was fine in europe though.

8:21 am

smores

I am a muse BR...

8:22 am

Rows

i can read some Chinese, but definitely can't write it, beyond simple characters like å£

8:22 am

smores

teehee really, that's my last name :)

8:22 am

MimiCat

Yes, you literally are, smores!

8:22 am

mael

absolutely, rows, much easier than chinese

8:23 am

Rows

right now i have ç¦ written on one of my fingernails for Chinese New Year :)

8:23 am

o-o

I am offended

8:23 am

smores

I think they are both beautiful

8:23 am

smores

lol...BR

8:23 am

Rows

BR, why?

8:24 am

mael

BR is BR, he's just a little obtuse :)

8:24 am

o-o

smores is playing with names

8:24 am

MimiCat

No, it really is her name, BR!

8:24 am

smores

It's my name and I can play with it if I want :p

8:25 am

o-o

obtuse .... okay ...

8:25 am

Rows

http://tinyurl.com/bek2g66

8:25 am

Rows

there we go :) i can show you the fingernail

8:26 am

Rows

i went to the nail shop and asked the lady for red and gold nails, and asked if she could write "fu" or something on my thumbs? and she went crazy and did each nail special for CNY

8:26 am

mael

pretty :)

8:27 am

Rows

the character means "good fortune," and the Chinese like to have this character on decorations that they hang up, but the character is turned upside down, because the words for "upside down" in Chinese sound the same as "come to me," so it's like a pun, saying "good fortune come to me"

8:27 am

MimiCat

Love that, Rows!

8:28 am

smores

<---- definately NOT obtuse BR

8:28 am

Rows

they are really into their puns and good luck things like that

8:28 am

o-o

I will not forget that.

8:28 am

MimiCat

Ruru would fit right in there!

8:29 am

hurshy

maybe mael meant a different word... obtuse seems completely not BR. silly, yes...

8:29 am

o-o

Time to go

8:29 am

mael

yeah, obtuse may not be the right word :)

8:30 am

MimiCat

Bye, BR! have a good one.

8:30 am

Rows

well, i don't know any of you so well so i'm not judging anyone, only pointed out that i don't like my name being made fun of esp. when it's something of a joke between my sister and me

8:30 am

smores

Sunday I was a birthday party for my niece, she just got tattoos of chinese symbols for good luck, fortune and love. I told her it really meant dumb a** American...lol

8:30 am

Rows

my actual name is Rose

8:30 am

Rows

haha i could probably actually check for her

8:30 am

smores

Bye BR :)

8:31 am

MimiCat

Saw a good movie this weekend on DVD...."Peace, Love and Misunderstanding." Jane Fonda and cast do a wonderful job...touching and funny.

8:31 am

Anniebrook

BR, obtuse..I doubt that very much...a punster, yes

8:31 am

smores

My daughters middle name is Rose :)

8:31 am

MimiCat

Funny, smores---sounds just like you!

8:31 am

Rows

yay Roses

8:32 am

hurshy

the N's are hard.

8:32 am

MimiCat

The movie made me cry, though. Not hard to do since I cry at coffee commercials.

8:32 am

Rows

haha then don't see Les Miserables, Mimi

8:33 am

Rows

unless you like crying over movies

8:33 am

mael

the Ns are hard, absolutely

8:33 am

Rows

Les Mis is pretty emotional... but really quite amazingly done

8:33 am

MimiCat

Already seen the play several times and the other movies....cry every time. Can't wait to see the new one.

8:33 am

smores

After my grandmother Rosa

8:33 am

Rows

Anne Hathaway is brilliant

8:34 am

MimiCat

Since I've been a singer all my life, I adore the music in Les Mis....almost ready to cry now just thinking about it!

8:34 am

Rows

:) it's a great score

8:34 am

MimiCat

Might be seeing it this Sunday with a friend...thanks for reminding me.

8:35 am

Rows

i'm glad i was in the US for Christmas, so i was able to see it in the cinemas there

8:35 am

Rows

definitely worth seeing on the big screen

8:35 am

smores

Do they have captioned cinemas near you Rows?

8:36 am

Rows

what do you mean?

8:36 am

smores

Places were the movies are captioned into English

8:37 am

Rows

well no, either movies are in Chinese with no subtitles, or they're in English with Chinese subtitles

8:37 am

Rows

but we only get maybe between 7 and 10 foreign films a year

8:37 am

MimiCat

Smores, I wish we lived close so we could be movie buddies!

8:37 am

Rows

and they tend to come out in China at random times... or late anyway

8:37 am

Rows

like we just got Skyfall last week

8:38 am

smores

oh, so you pretty much have to wait for the dvd

8:38 am

Rows

and sometimes the movies have scenes edited out since China is communist

8:38 am

smores

:) Mimi

8:38 am

Rows

not always, i went and saw Skyfall in IMAX

8:38 am

smores

cool

8:38 am

Rows

but it was missing 2 sex scenes, apparently, as well as one of Bond killing a Chinese security guard...

8:39 am

Rows

which is silly cos in reality, Chinese security guards are useless and pretty much just sleep

8:39 am

smores

lol

8:39 am

MimiCat

OK, gotta get my stressful day started...ugh! Hugs to all and thanks for such good chat today!

8:39 am

Rows

Bond could've just walked right by him... or if there was any question, he could've bribed the guard with 100 yuan or something

8:39 am

hurshy

yeah and they wouldn't want to edit THAT out...

8:39 am

Rows

hugs to you Mimi, take care :)

8:40 am

smores

{Mimi} have a good one dear :)

8:40 am

Rows

i'm having a hard time with the oo5

8:40 am

smores

Sending prayers your way Mimi

8:40 am

MimiCat

Please come back often, Rows!

8:40 am

hurshy

that's cause you're new and it's a babblet. oo + a---l is the little mermaid

8:41 am

MimiCat

Thanks, smores.

8:41 am

Rows

i think i will :)
thanks Mimi

8:41 am

Rows

i think i will :)

8:41 am

TraderKate

hello bitong - i don't see you too much any more, is all well?

1:09 pm

TraderKate

YEAH ZOOZ!!!!! WOOOOOT :))

1:09 pm

Biltong

Yes, not too bad ty. How are you?

1:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all

1:10 pm

zoozzoom

i will say that again

1:11 pm

TraderKate

pretty well, i have the neighbours from hell living above me - keeping me up until all hours of the night - hence my late and very fore-shortened time on babble these days :(

1:11 pm

zoozzoom

get to where you last got upto ..then go left one then add another vowel.

1:11 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, BDG!

1:12 pm

Biltong

Hi Book Doctor Gwen

1:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i take it you have asked them to shut up, kate? then called the police? then fire-bombed their apartment? (joke)

1:13 pm

Biltong

I share your pain, TraderKate. We have similar problems with our neighbours above us - blaring television :(

1:13 pm

Biltong

lol, Book

1:13 pm

TraderKate

hi gwen, hope you are doing well.
zooz, i will leave it for now, hein** i seem to be hopeless on that one for now - i'm sure it will come to me eventually...

1:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

doing okay for now, thanks kate! 8-)

1:14 pm

LeslieAnn

it ends how my first name ends, kate

1:14 pm

zoozzoom

from the *N* go left one then add the usual vowel

1:15 pm

Biltong

38 left. Have fun everyone. Might bbl. Bye

1:15 pm

TraderKate

these clowns play violent video games all night and day - feel like i', living in a war zone; nothing but machine guns and explosions... if i bang on the ceiling (3a.m.) i am treated to a spout of invectives i souldn't repeat....

1:15 pm

zoozzoom

even better..what Leslie said..lol

1:15 pm

LeslieAnn

(not really here, back to work - POOF)

1:15 pm

zoozzoom

Take care, Biltong.

1:16 pm

TraderKate

ahhhhhh - i already had that one! (clued as bum slang word) was trying iu...ia etc. D'OH!!!!!!

1:16 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

1:16 pm

TraderKate

bye LA, thanks for helping a blind babbler

1:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

maybe you can get 'em on a charge of noise pollution and / or disturbing the peace

1:18 pm

zoozzoom

Sounds like they are playing a game called Call of Duty, Kate..a very loud game indeed.

1:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tell 'em if they don't start using headphones it'll be a *real* warzone

1:19 pm

MollyL

Kate, find out what your local noise ordinance is. Here it is after 9PM. It is a legal violation and the police will respond to it.

1:19 pm

zoozzoom

Time for me to depart.Hope you can get some decent shut eye tonight, Kate..take care, All.

1:20 pm

TraderKate

i wish, if they were blaring music it would be easier to do something, as it is, the landlord is keeping very good records of the complaints from me and the apartment above the idiots - hopefully they can be evicted for the nonsense soon. did i mention that they think it's acceptable to start laundry ( also next to my apartment) at 9 p.m.?

1:20 pm

TraderKate

bye zooz, thanks again. see you friday maybe :)

1:20 pm

MollyL

Also, if they are playing video games all night and all day, they obviously are not working. So they probably won't be your neighbors for long.

1:21 pm

KnightTime

go to the circuit breaker box and flip the switch

1:21 pm

MollyL

I had neighbors above me once who liked to vacuum at midnight. Freaks.

1:22 pm

TraderKate

molly, it is noise ( within reason until 11 p.m.) but there is just no respect shown for other occupants who are day-shifters... they are also "heffalumps" on their feet... as i said, hopefully they wilil eb gone soon.

1:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we have a "no laundry after 9pm" rule in my building

1:24 pm

TraderKate

KT - wish i sould, we all have our own breaker boxes. i have been bad and run them out of hot water (on purpose) when they decide to shower at 1 a.m. - did i mention none of them work, so there is no excuse for not doing the chores during reaqsonable hours. it's not like they work until midnight then want to cook/shower when they get home....

1:24 pm

TraderKate

gwen - we do too... prominently posted in the laundry roonm... again lack of respect for others... enough whining for me... LET'S BABBLE :))

1:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sneaky one, kate!

1:25 pm

Smdnjv

na

1:25 pm

TraderKate

i am bad.... i am going to hel... :)

1:25 pm

TraderKate

*hell...

1:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

naw, you are going to the land of respectful apartment dwellers, and your neighbors are going, hmmm, anywhere else!

1:28 pm

TraderKate

i hope i will be in good company - all the fun ones seem to be going "south", but what fun they had while they were here ;)

1:28 pm

MollyL

*Applauds TK for the hot water maneuver*

1:29 pm

KnightTime

i am not beyond doing something drastic, i.e. cutting the line that provides their internet access.

1:31 pm

TraderKate

they have neither internet or cable tv, as far as i know... hence the constant video gaming - not sure i would do that anyway - escalation is not always wise... did i mention that one has a government pension (disability) for "anger management issues"...

1:32 pm

Soodle

Evening all. :-). HI 4/5 reminds me of a joke. Q. Whats a Hindu? A. It lays iggs! Maybe that only works with an Irish accent....

1:32 pm

MollyL

Oh dear Lord, people can get disability for that?

1:33 pm

KnightTime

yes, not the best choice, i admit.

1:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we're talking about canada, where people actually get medical benefits when they need them . . .

1:33 pm

MollyL

: D Soo : D dle : D

1:34 pm

Soodle

Good grief!! I should move to Canada ! I'd be rich!

1:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i say cock-a-soodle-doo to that yoke! LOL

1:34 pm

MollyL

Well, my point was that I don't think that is the best qualifier for disability.

1:35 pm

TraderKate

it surprised me too, there are lots of reasons to get a medical disability pension, it's a first i've heard... there is probably more to it than that....

1:35 pm

Soodle

When I was growing up Anger Management Issues was known as being bad tempered!

1:36 pm

MollyL

It still is Soodle. Only now we coddle the whiny babies and give it a fancy name.

1:37 pm

TraderKate

this guy is native - comes from a very bad home situation - i donn't think he's very bright iq-wise.. suspect he had fetal alchol syndrome and god knows what else.... it's a complicated picture i'm sure

1:37 pm

Soodle

A good kick up the HE 6/21 is good medicine for anger management issues.

1:38 pm

TraderKate

i agreed with you soolde, the west is raising a bunch of (many) irresponsible brats... god know what will happen when we are all retired and in "thier hands", i shdder to think....

1:38 pm

TraderKate

LOOL soodles - soodle for president... or what ever!

1:38 pm

MollyL

And let me guess, I bet that while the government is paying him not to work because of his "anger issues" they are still letting him have a drivers license.

1:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt hooray for me

1:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, let's dump on the mentally ill now . . .

1:40 pm

MollyL

Soodle as President...sings...â™ªand the world...would be a better placeâ™«...and the world...would be a better place..â™ª for you, and meâ™ª you just wait, and seeâ™«

1:41 pm

TraderKate

let me be very clear - the pension is very small - it still puts someone well below the poverty line - roughly 1050 dollars (canadian) per month - plus i believe they get most of prescription drugs paid, eyeglasses every 2 yeqars if required, and some basic dental - it's not a kingly existence at all. he doesn't have a car - not sure if he is even licenxsed

1:41 pm

MollyL

And no one is "dumping on the mentally ill". Sheesh.

1:42 pm

TraderKate

sing it molly, sing it... (wishes i knew how to make music notes)

1:42 pm

TraderKate

i must be hungry... trying to make "danish"

1:43 pm

TraderKate

rats! sorry.... my typoing has not improvedf at all i can see.. off to the PB, hope there's something good in there today

1:44 pm

Soodle

Thank you, loyal subjects!!!

1:44 pm

stidgmere

Shall we have the pastry from hamlet's country along with some lovely strong coffee and slices of pears?

1:45 pm

MollyL

Excuse me, Madame President? You have a meeting in the Wine...er West Wing.

1:45 pm

TraderKate

let's see.. no crown, no sceptre, no orb... what shall your trappings jof power be oh great soodle?

1:45 pm

stidgmere

The pb does not have to be so bare. We could bring along some cushions and make it very welcoming.

1:45 pm

MollyL

*Sits at the table for Gran Mere's afternoon snack*

1:46 pm

TraderKate

soundsw wonderful stidgie, welcome to the conversation - i have been a chat-hog, will dive in for a few minutes and see if i can seek and destry a few more words in the grid :)

1:46 pm

stidgmere

We can have a cabinet meeting for soodle and help her rule the world. Why does she want to do that? and give up her free time?

1:46 pm

MollyL

TK, you have a long way to go, and plenty of people to stand behind, before you become a chat hog.

1:47 pm

stidgmere

The grid is not moving rapidly for me so the chat is the saving grace today.

1:49 pm

Soodle

My trappings of power would be my loyal band of Babblers advising me, pouring my wine, and peeling my grapes!

1:49 pm

TraderKate

that's the problem with only having a few hours some days to abbble, i am torn between trying to "catch up" with people i used to see wvery day - and trying to finish the grid (almost never theswe days... am saving upp to get internet at home , but it will be a while yet *sigh* ---> widhes to win a small lottery

1:50 pm

MollyL

*Raises an eyebrow at grape peeling*

1:50 pm

TraderKate

hmmm i was so sure farule was a word

1:50 pm

stidgmere

Of course. Trader it is hard to do everything and I believe it is in the choices we make that we get the most benefit.

1:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(ferule)

1:51 pm

MollyL

*Wishes everyone was as wise as Gran Mere*

1:51 pm

Soodle

Agreed, G'mere!

1:51 pm

stidgmere

Better than stomping the grapes, Molly. There is a certain appeal to grape peeling. Oh get me back to the grid.

1:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well i'm gonna try for a small nap, bye kids

1:51 pm

Soodle

Bye Gwen.

1:52 pm

stidgmere

By gwen. Small nap sounds good but I have ironing to go before I sleep.

1:52 pm

TraderKate

i will peel her grapes! there are may wise ones to advise... Temple Owl comes to mind immediately
thanks gwen, now i must tr4y to remember to look it up, think it is somethign "sciency"

1:52 pm

Soodle

I gotta go too. A creative writing class awaits. Bye all.

5:37 pm

ha6/24, plural of the 5 before it

5:37 pm

ha6/24 is plural of the 5/14 - think, midnight at the oasis and the sheik and his womenfolk

ha6/24 is the plural of the ha5/14

5:38 pm

Jommie

I've got it! Thanks!! :)

5:38 pm

It is amazing the things you can see at the shore in the winter because there are not people.

It's so weird how kids songs are different in different areas. Catch a tiger, catch a turtle. Eensy weensy spider, itsy bitsy spider. Candadian kids are taught the last letter of the alphabet is "zed" but they sing "zee" in the ABC song.

9:08 pm

I do not have any sa5's...could I get some help?

9:09 pm

cosdem

sa4: alike, then sa5: add high tile point to end like molly says

theres another sa5 that is a plural...

funny story about what happened to my dog this morning (I put it on Facebook too):

9:33 pm

uusue2

So I was out walking my dog, Sera, this morning (in record-breaking warmth). As we turned into the driveway heading to my house, a squirrel was on the fence. Well, the squirrel was mightily disturbed by Sera's presence; he scurried along the fence and jumped INTO HER MOUTH. Fortunately I grabbed her leash and got her away, but this is one squirrel that is really too stupid to live.

9:34 pm

smores

LOL...that is hilarious

9:34 pm

all three of us were quite startled :-)

A neighbor of mine transports animals too. She has a house -full of cats but she will take dogs also. One of mine was going to be put down the next day, so she went up to Conyers, GA and picked her up. Both of my little dogs passed on while in CT and I have their ashes to be mixed with mine. This little dog had been mistreated by someone.....we belieive it was a man with boots.....for a long time she would bite any body with boots on. I've had her almost 3 years and she has finally gotten over it.

11:40 pm
