"Tables, chairs and ***** chests
Would have suited Jesus best.
He's have caused nobody harm,
No one alarm!"

PB for me

12:29 am

flosey

hi Douglas

12:29 am

flosey

trying to puzzle that ** word

12:30 am

Douglas

It was from the song "Heaven On Their Minds" from the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar"

12:30 am

flosey

didn't see it

12:30 am

Douglas

Judas was thinking that Jesus might have been better off as an unknown carpenter

12:31 am

jillibus

I saw it but don't remember the song :-(

12:32 am

jillibus

hi douglas

12:32 am

flosey

12:32 am

cybernan

stuck for the last 50

12:32 am

Douglas

Hello flosey and jilli

12:32 am

Lizlin

Same here Jilli - but I looked up the lyrics and I'd already entered that as my first word!

12:32 am

Lizlin

Hi Douglas, Jilli and flosey :)

12:33 am

jillibus

must go to goodle for that, Liz

12:33 am

flosey

I did jilli

12:33 am

Lizlin

Me too!

12:36 am

Douglas

The k gives the grid a lot of krunch

12:37 am

Douglas

There is an NFL player with a diacritical in his name on his uniform

12:37 am

cybernan

saw Doug's comment and thought for a minute that ruru was here

12:39 am

jillibus

Oh, Liz -- that ***** was my first word too, lol!

12:39 am

Douglas

"The secretaries pout and *****
Like cheap tarts in a red light street,
But all he ever thinks to do is watch."

12:39 am

Lizlin

I guess it depends how you approach the grid!!!

12:41 am

Lizlin

Or better still, Jilli - great minds :)

12:41 am

Douglas

By "krunch" I mean "a lot of words with k's in them, not just at the beginning"

12:43 am

Douglas

is pleased to be mentioned in the same chat entry as ruru when it comes to bringing frivolity

12:44 am

Lizlin

BBL - sleep well over there! :)

12:44 am

Douglas

I take it that Babble has already digested the results of the Super Bowl?

12:49 am

12:53 am

awww, ruru, why not?

12:54 am

Congrats Diz and nan :)

1:04 am

jillibus

ruru, on Facebook I belong to a worldwide group of serious Great Dane breeders and it's a great way to keep in touch and communicate. There's also a special Babblers' group. I don't know what scares you away. Yes, there's been a lot of publicity about privacy, but it's mostly bunkum -- you can control who sees what.

1:04 am

dizgrannie

WTG Nan

1:04 am

jillibus

Yay nan!

1:05 am

cybernan

not true jill -- whenever you are active with a group or on a game everyone else who has a contact within the group or playing the game can see your profile

1:06 am

cybernan

I still get e-mail from people who "saw my profile" and I got off of facebook over a year ago now

1:06 am

jillibus

You can set things to Friends Only or Only Me or various other things. Anyway, I have nothing to hide.

1:07 am

rururocks

is there more than one pe 7/

1:07 am

cybernan

yes, ruru

1:07 am

flosey

will someone please clue en6

1:07 am

rururocks

ugh

1:07 am

cybernan

that doesn't mean a thing when you are using the socail part of the network

1:08 am

jillibus

Nan, some of the privacy settings are more recent than a year ago.

1:08 am

cybernan

1:08 am

flosey

thanks nan

1:09 am

jillibus

Well, I still love Facebook and don't mind sharing. Nobody has been a bother.

1:09 am

cybernan

still don't trust their so called security, jill -- there seems to be new issues with them popping up all the time

1:10 am

rururocks

1:22 am

jillibus

And you're not boring, torg!

1:24 am

jillibus

I was just trying to get nbs. It's been a tiring day -- spent hours trying to get stuff transferred from my desktop to my newish laptop -- eventually figured out how to, via Windows easy Transfer which I hadn't realised was already installed on both. A neighbour helped.

1:25 am

jillibus

But maybe everyone has left...?

1:26 am

Lizlin

I'm here on and off Jilli - muli tasking!

1:26 am

Lizlin

I have nbs but not nbt!

1:26 am

jillibus

what do you need for nbt, liz?

1:27 am

Lizlin

stats for the a and e in the left hand column! Probably very obvious - but that's the problem with multi-tasking!

1:27 am

Lizlin

And can I help with your bbs?

1:28 am

Lizlin

nbs

1:29 am

jillibus

ae5/12 and en6/21, liz -- and I do have nbt/nbs

Neither one is very obvious but have been here before.

1:31 am

Lizlin

I'll keep plodding on - have 53 left - will do some more tonight and then finish (hopefully) tomorrow!

Hello all.

5:27 am

Michnick

Anybody here?

5:28 am

lynxxx

off and on Mich...how are you?

5:29 am

Michnick

OK, lynxx, battling a cold/flu.

5:29 am

Michnick

How are you doing?

5:30 am

lynxxx

pretty good. You need a dose of Australian sunshine to dry you out. Is it still raining over there?

5:31 am

Michnick

We had two dry days but today is raining pretty consistently. I love the rain and we need it, but it is wreaking havoc on our health!!

5:31 am

lynxxx

Miserable when you are not used to it

5:32 am

Michnick

I can't say I'm not used to it, but this has been the coldest/wettest winter in many years. Great for the country, we are going to have a gorgeous spring.

5:34 am

lynxxx

I was just looking at the snow pictures amazing

5:35 am

Michnick

Snow in Israel? It is pretty, my kids go crazy over it although we don't get too much where we are - on the edge of the desert (just 25 minutes from the Dead Sea as the crow flies.)

5:37 am

Angelsong

hi, all. I went out yesterday and bought some silk floowers and greenery, and put them together in a small spray for my brother. I chose three silk fern (green), two pale yellow roses (one for each of my parents), three white roses (for myself and my two brothers) and six bluebonnets (because he was a Texan, and bluebonnets are the State flower.) I put all of them together, and tied them with a white ribbon, and it turned out just beautifully.

5:38 am

Michnick

Sounds lovely, Angel, what is the occassion?

5:38 am

lynxxx

sounds sweet Angel

5:39 am

Angelsong

my brother's funeral is on Friday.

5:39 am

ChrissieDee

What a beautiful personal tribute Angel

5:40 am

Michnick

Oh!! I am so sorry, I didn't realize. How awful for you, I am glad you find something beautiful to do for him.

5:40 am

lynxxx

oh Angel, I didn't know, my condolences. How sad

5:41 am

Angelsong

it is only sad because we loved him and will miss him. I know he is with the Lord, and that is not sad; it is a comfort and joy.

5:42 am

ChrissieDee

Grief is the price we pay for love, a price well worth paying

5:42 am

Michnick

That is a beautiful sentiment, Angel, but the living are left to mourn.

5:43 am

Angelsong

we do not grieve for the one who has passed; we grieve for ourselves.

5:43 am

lynxxx

Of course. And now we really understand the meaning behind your flowers choices it makes it all very poignant

5:44 am

Michnick

That is true, but the grief is real nonetheless. I lost my mother just a year a go and I know she is in a better place, but I miss her every day.

5:44 am

ChrissieDee

True Angel, but it hurts anyway, even with a faith as strong as yours obviously is.

5:47 am

ChrissieDee

(((Mich)))

5:48 am

Michnick

Thanks Chrissie and hugs back to you!!

5:48 am

ChrissieDee

Thank you

5:48 am

Angelsong

yes, it does hurt. because I am human, still. the other day, I met my middle brother (who is now the eldest since Melvin is gone) to give him a photo of Melvin for the funeral program. I spent a few minutes with Teddy, and when he left, I broke down. I said, "Lord! I do not have the strength for this!" The Lord replied, "yes, you do. Lean on Me. I have all the strength you need." It immediately made me at peace.

5:52 am

ChrissieDee

Beautiful Angel, I wish your brother sunshine for his final journey on Friday, and I wish you peace

5:53 am

Michnick

G-d is always There for those who call out to Him, but mourning and grieving are natural, human emotions and a part of life. G-d created those as well.

5:53 am

Michnick

I am so happy you recognize the G-d is supporting you Angel, may you always have the peace that comes from a relationship with Him.

5:54 am

Angelsong

He has already made the journey, Chrissie. We're just saying "see you in a bit" on Friday.

5:58 am

Angelsong

I was blessed on Sunday to be at his bedside with my parents and Teddy. Ted and I held his hands and helped him let go of his earthly body in peace. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, in a way, but I am glad I did i.

6:00 am

Michnick

I was with my two sisters and my husband when my mom passed away, it helped me know she was at peace and helped with the mourning. I wasn't at my dad's side when he passed away and the process was much harder.

6:01 am

Lizlin

Hi all - my condolences, again Angel - a lovely tribute to your brother and "long life" to you Michnick.

6:02 am

Michnick

Thank you Liz

6:02 am

lynxxx

hi Liz

6:02 am

Lizlin

Hi Lyn - hope all's well with you :)

6:03 am

Angelsong

I have noticed that grief is like tides in an ocean. At high tide, the grief slaps one hard in the face, and pain is overwhelming. Just when it seems no more can be borne, it recedes, and you get to take a breath. It eases for a while, then it is at high tide again. If we had to grieve at that high tide level all at once, we could not survive it. God, in His wisdom, made grief such that it can be borne.

6:03 am

lynxxx

I must go, bye everyone. Bye Angel - hope Fridays ceremony brings some peace to your family

6:04 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Lyn :)

6:04 am

Michnick

Bye Lynxx, hope you have a happy and upbeat day!!

6:05 am

Michnick

Opps, I mean night, I never get this time zone busniness straight

6:05 am

Lizlin

LOL - it is confusing talking to people all over the world!

6:07 am

Michnick

Comforting and confusing!

6:08 am

Lizlin

It's good meeting so many different people. You wrote you were not far from the Dead Sea - do you mind if I ask where?

6:11 am

ChrissieDee

Just to add to the time zone confusion I am off for a shower and to start my day now. It is noon here but mornings are out for me at the moment. Happy babbling all.

6:12 am

Lizlin

Enjoy the rest of your day ChrissieDee :)

Good Morning Everyone. It's cool, cloudy and snowing here; how are you all doing today?

10:54 am

wvteach

Starting to get warm enough so that our snow is beginning to melt. Still very pretty out because last nights snow was very wet and all the branches are covered

10:56 am

Nef

They said on the news this AM that we've had over 6 inches of snow since Feb. 1st; we're in some sort of weather pattern where it snows every night; just enough to either shovel or cover up the dirt.

10:57 am

Nef

At least I don't have to deal with the daily rush hour anymore; it's been tough this week (black ice under fresh fluffy snow)

10:57 am

wvteach

We must be in the same pattern

10:58 am

mixi6

gee and I saw my first crocus this morning. currently 56 degrees. enjoy the snow.

10:58 am

Nef

we have 3 bird feeders and a suet feeder; I finally refilled them yesterday (couldn't get the shed door open til then due to ice blocking the door); they are having a hay day out there now! :-)

10:59 am

mixi6

the robins came last week.

10:59 am

wvteach

it is supposed to get back up to the 50s by Sunday

10:59 am

Nef

oh, my. I don't think it will be in the 50's here till ---maybe April?

11:00 am

wvteach

we have ups and downs - one time last week we went from upper 60s one day to the teens the next day

11:01 am

Nef

mixi6; your icon pic is fascinating. My sisters and I took a weeks vacation on the Outer Banks last spring; those waves would have scared the daylights out of us!

11:02 am

ups and downs here in souther MN are 15 below to 20 above! :-D

11:02 am

It was Sandy going by.

we rarely get below zero (except with wind chill factored in)

11:03 am

mixi6

yes. in Nag's Head.

11:04 am

Nef

last weeks wind chill here was -30 to -40 (but the temp was -15 F). I ignored the wind chill when I had to go out.

11:05 am

Nef

we were up in Corolla; had some meals in Nag's Head. We did some touristy things there; it was really a great vacation.

11:06 am

Nef

This year we're talking about the Black Hills in South Dakota (in April again)

11:07 am

mixi6

we're going out west to the national parks inUtah in April

11:09 am

Nef

Ooh! Beautiful! When the kids were in middle school; we went to most of the Utah Nat'l parks (we missed Zion because of health concerns for DH)

11:10 am

we're going on a Road Scholar program.

WOW; that's really neat! I got their "catalog" a while back and we were thinking of doing that; but not sure if DH would be able to do too much (he has MS and still isn't fully recovered from his back surgeries last year) But it's something I'd like to do someday.

11:13 am

this one said walk up to 2 miles. but there is also a handicapped one in may.

11:15 am

I figure that we'll have to look for something that we'd be able to do maybe next year; I need to get him back in shape first.

I envy all of you making holiday plans! I think I'm stuck here

ruby, being "stuck" in France can't be too bad, isit?

11:18 am

rubyfoo

true, true, and I have a great view from the house. Unfortunately, husband can't travel and if I go away, I have to come right back

11:18 am

They have all kinds of programs for all levels of activity.

11:20 am

rubyfoo

dogs are arguing and jousting about, bye for now

11:21 am

Nef

ruby, I hear you. I worried the whole week I was gone last year; even though I had the kids and a couple of friends checking in on him (and our daughter stayed here but she was working too). I did learn the value of getting away, though; caretakers need to take care of themselves too.

I 've been to a couple of shakespeare one the hotel was next door to the theatre in Stanton Va.

11:25 am

mixi6

some were Elderhostel (now Road Scholar).

11:26 am

Nef

The ones I've seen were always where you did some volunteer work while you were there. I'll have to look again, now. (that's why I said the DH wouldn't be able to do them)

11:27 am

mixi6

They feed you, keep you and entertain you or just a bit more than just the hotel stay. In the last couple of years the price has gone up, but so has the quality of the accomodations.

11:28 am

Nef

okay; I'll definitely look again

11:29 am

is he tolerating the short ones better than the long ones, sue?

12:27 pm

uusue2

he is, nef

12:27 pm

bichon

hi everyone. Glad to hear Frank is doing better

12:28 pm

uusue2

the long ones are 5 hours at the cancer center then a pump for 48 hours, while the short ones are 2 hours at the center only, so it's a big difference

12:28 pm

Nef

That's good, sue. I'm keeping him in my prayers that he'll be better soon.

12:28 pm

I misread that. as They're treating his shorts. oops. tee hee.

brb...dog wants out

12:34 pm

Nef

It's a doll's head sewn onto a cheap muslin body stuffed with loose cotton fluff. And I think that the muslin is too cheap; I don't think I've seen such flimsy fabric before.

12:36 pm

Nef

The parents and their partners use the dolls to practice diapering and swaddling; it wouldn't take much to tear this fabric. So I'm using some heavy cotton string around the neck of the doll and trying to sew that to the doll's body with regular thread. I'm hoping this will work.

12:37 pm

Wolvie

and they ripped the head off eh?? lol. and wowsa.

12:37 pm

uusue2

well, maybe it teaches them that babies are very delicate :-)

12:37 pm

that would be the best thing, yes. ;-)

Night Ruby. Enjoy dinner Bich. I will just sit here and roll my eyes over this article that says kids in Australia can no longer blow out candles on birthday cake at school because it spreads too many germs.

5:08 pm

crosshair

ahh,here it is simply referred to as Korsakoff syndrome

5:08 pm

crosshair

sad when kids are not allowed to be kids

5:10 pm

MollyL

They can't eat peanut butter, because someone might be allergic, now they can't blow out birthday candles. Soon they will be sent to school in plastic bubbles.

5:10 pm

crosshair

and the idea of germs from blowing out candles is funny.remember the stuff we used to do as kids outside,a mud pie in one hand,a frog you caught in your pocket while munching on a pb&j sammich that you made on the grass in the back yard

5:10 pm

crosshair

my sons public school was a peanut free zone due to one child

5:11 pm

crosshair

one child and an entire school is on peanut lockdown

5:12 pm

crosshair

my son never had a peanut butter sandwich till he started high school

5:12 pm

MollyL

The weird thing is, no one had peanut allergies when I was a kid. Not sure why so many kids have them now.

5:13 pm

crosshair

i cannot recall any peanut allergies in the kids i grew up with.we had never even heard of such a thing

5:14 pm

MollyL

Oh and bake sales at schools these days...no home baked goods allowed. Something might have GASP touched a peanut.

5:14 pm

crosshair

we were all naturally adhd but since we lived outside and played outside for fun,we were beat by the time there was too little light to see the nets playing road hockey

5:15 pm

crosshair

no baked goods from home? then it is not a bake sale.may as well trash that as well

5:16 pm

crosshair

and remember those multi coloured balls that were a tad smaller than a soccor ball that we all used in gym and used to play murder ball with? my son says that is also no longer allowed.nor throwing snowballs on school property

5:16 pm

And try to have a birthday party with food for kids when Bobby has a peanut allergy and Billy is gluten free and Sally is a vegan.

5:17 pm

5:18 pm

Dorens

my son was allergic to wheat. I had to send his own macaroons or meringue cookies (that I made myself) along with him when there were birthdays. You do what you have to do.

5:18 pm

crosshair

i used to make a note of what was being served at my kids parties.it is up to the parents to agree,decline of send food with little billy

5:18 pm

crosshair

indeed dorens

5:18 pm

lilliann

just sneaking in and then out again...when bairns have christmas parties or other parties at school, parents have to buy all shop bought produce which is in its original wrapper.no homemade sausage rolls any more, which are alot tastier in my view.

5:19 pm

crosshair

mmmm,sausage rolls

5:19 pm

crosshair

the kind you never see anymore with the flaky coating..

5:21 pm

Dorens

and in our schools, parents are allowed to make/bake their own food. Kids with allergies are taught to be responsible. However, somepeanut allergies are airborne, so a sandwich eaten at the table could put a child into anaphylactic shock. I imagine if it were your child who was in danger, it would make sense to have peanut free zones. But I've never heard of the whole school being peanut free.. Kids can bring in whatever they want, just can't eat the same table with air-borne peanut allergies.. Makes sense to me.

5:21 pm

crosshair

and the funny thing is that there is actually a parts per million limit on fecal matter in automated food processing.bet you do not add that home made!!

5:21 pm

stidmama

speaking as a person with multiple life-threatening food allergies, I think it's appropriate for schools to make sure that when things are distributed in the classroom that there are clear labels and cross-contamination is less likely. Too many people think they're cooking gluten-free (not one of my own issues) but forget they had something with wheat in it on the counter before they made the treat. Or they use the same frying pan for everything and the peanut oil they used for eggrolls has enough residue left over to contaminate something made nut-free.

5:21 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:22 pm

lilliann

i remember all my school parties crossy, when my mam always made a big tupperware box ful of home made flaky sausage rolls...they were lovely! i also remember missing eating them at my last party at infants school as i was in hospital having my tonsils removed. i was well gutted.

5:22 pm

MollyL

Lots of schools here are peanut free. I think it's a much better idea to do what your school is doing Dorens, and teach kids to be responsible.

5:22 pm

stidmama

We have many children surviving infancy nowadays who would have died long before school-age who need to have accommodations.

5:22 pm

Dorens

Hi liz and stid

5:22 pm

crosshair

the one child in question at my sons school was of the airborne type of peanut sensitivity

5:22 pm

crosshair

so nothign with peanuts on the property

5:23 pm

stidmama

Personally, I react strongly to airborne contaminants from the mint family. Had the classroom windows and door open the other day when a child slathered ben-gay all over their hands... Had to take antihistamines PDQ!

5:23 pm

MollyL

Oh and good point about the fecal matter.

5:23 pm

Dorens

well then crossy, he needed to be very careful of exposure. But not the entire property? Dunno... we have three different lunch periods at my little school, and kids did eat peanuts, just not at the table of the child with the allergy

5:23 pm

hi liz,stid and dorens

5:24 pm

Dorens

hi lil... mint? poor stid... one of my favorite aromas

5:24 pm

Lizlin

I've also taught in schools, where a couple of kids had extreme reactions to peanuts - and one child in my class also to latex and a million other things. Had to check everything with his mum. The latex allergy meant he had to wear gloves when playing ball games. But I do think the candle thing here is well over the top!!!

5:24 pm

stidmama

Doren, perhaps your school is bigger than the ones around here? When you only have 200 kids in the school, a child eating PB&J at one end is very likely to pass by or touch something that a highly allergic child cannot avoid.

5:24 pm

lilliann

at my daughter's school they all eat their pack lunches and school dinners together, whatever they are eating or allergic too

5:25 pm

Dorens

we have 400. thought of that as small

5:25 pm

MollyL

Dorens, I think that is the best idea. Kids cannot count on every place they go being "peanut free". Better to teach them how to deal with their allergy.

5:25 pm

lilliann

but saying that they have 2 dinner times and it is a school of atleast 1700 children

5:25 pm

Lizlin

The thing is that although kids are told often not to share their lunches - they still do swap, so it does rely on the responsibility of the kids.

5:26 pm

stidmama

That seems big to me... the K-8 schools around here typically have about 300-400 kids, usually in a couple of different buildings.

5:26 pm

crosshair

my sons public school was 150-200 students who all ate same time

5:26 pm

Dorens

i was always proud of my granddaughter asking if food had nuts because her mother had a nut allergy.Before she had been tested, she knew that she needed to be very careful.

5:26 pm

Lizlin

1700 is I think fairly typical of large high schools in England

5:26 pm

Dorens

anytime something was offered that she didn't know was safe, she would ask

5:27 pm

crosshair

but yes,the child must be taught as soon as possible because in adult like he/she will have to accomidate the world and not the other way around

5:27 pm

crosshair

life

5:27 pm

Lizlin

Very true

5:28 pm

stidmama

With peanuts, in particular, students who are highly allergic (for some reason that seems to be the one that causes airborne issues) simply cannot avoid the air that is recirculated through ducting. I have a dear friend whose child has missed a total of several years' schooling because when the anaphylaxis strikes from the airborne contaminants she is sidelined for many weeks. Each time.

5:28 pm

Dorens

kids CAN be taught just about anything even early

5:28 pm

crosshair

that is exactly why our public school had a total ban on the property stidmama

5:28 pm

lilliann

well, it is alot bigger than when i went to school liz but then we had high schools and then schools you went to for the last 2 years and stopped on at 6th form if you wanted but now they are all put together and called colleges

5:28 pm

stidmama

As adults, we can choose to work in smaller places and in fields where we don't have to deal with the public. And as adults we have the option to use additional medications at well. Children do not have those options at school.

5:28 pm

MollyL

I guess kids like that can't go to public playgrounds, restaurants, movie theaters, ball parks and any number of other places either.

5:29 pm

lilliann

by the way liz, i haven't seen you since.congratulations on being an aussie :)

5:29 pm

Dorens

wow stid, I thought it had to be in the same room. that is a shame

5:29 pm

Lizlin

Bigger than my 2ndary school too - 600 or so kids then! Thanks lilliann :)

5:30 pm

stidmama

That's right, Molly -- they can't. And they don't. But unless their parents can afford private tutors, the majority of children still need to be educated in the schools.

5:31 pm

Lizlin

I think there should also be more education for other kids, so that they can understand how dangerous these allergies can be.

5:31 pm

stidmama

Anyway, I have papers to grade and supplies to purchase -- funny thing we are talking about food, I am having one of my classes make pancakes this week. Which, of course, I cannot eat... LOL hopefully they will enjoy the experience, though!

5:31 pm

crosshair

the child was home schooled for high school however as our high school is very large 1400-1600 and 600 of that is bussed in from small town nearbye and the logistics of banning that many kids and a property that size for one child was prohibative

5:31 pm

stidmama

Have a lovely evening, all! *poof*

5:31 pm

Dorens

we had one student who ended up being home-schooled, but her problems were far greater than just peanut allergy

5:31 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evening stid :)

School (if it's peanut free) and home. Really, when you think about it, those are the only "safe" places for a kid that allergic.

5:32 pm

crosshair

it is a tough road for a child i am sure

5:33 pm

crosshair

i saw a show about a child allergic to sunlight.was terrible

5:33 pm

Lizlin

I see on fb that the kid I taught, who has so many allergies, seems to keep discovering more and more of them. He sounds so resigned to it now!

5:34 pm

crosshair

But Harry, fluffiness, quiet, kids playing in it, shoveling...you can get all that at the beach. And not freeze your behind off doing it. : )

9:42 pm

I liked it, except from May through September.

9:42 pm

gapeach

I wonder if they specified the state?

9:43 pm

HarryHood

molly :) I don't get snow in my shorts and sunburn on my scalp when I'm shoveling

9:43 pm

HarryHood

and the great thing about the northeast, is you can have the beach AND the snow. just not at the same time, and just when you're getting tired of one, the other one comes along

9:44 pm

gapeach

Yes, the summers are something else. We just try to go from airconditioning to air conditioning. The darned humidity is just so bad. Oh, well.

9:44 pm

I'd get drenched just walking from my car to my office. holy cow.

Thanks much, Jindigo and crayola.

10:27 pm

gapeach

Glad you got that one, Jilly. I'm not very good at gluing.

10:28 pm

gapeach

at giving clues - even.

10:28 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...you must be good...I got it!

10:29 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Jilly.

10:33 pm

syb215

good night....giving up with only 20 to go

10:33 pm

MollyL

Peach is very good at giving clues. She is also good at gluing...gluing her good wishes to others, which en7's their life, thus making it prettier. : )

10:34 pm

Jillyjill

How about mi6/27?

10:35 pm

gapeach

Don't go syb, we will help you.

10:35 pm

MollyL

Our Babble player who writes clue stories + the Ma*** calendar said the world would end last year.

10:35 pm

syb215

getting frustrated

10:36 pm

Jillyjill

Me too syb...we can get thru this together!!

10:36 pm

gapeach

Well, it sounds like Chinese take-out to me. But it is a group of men for prayers.

10:36 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh...never would have found that one TY!

10:36 pm

10:36 pm

gapeach

10:38 pm

gapeach

To quote Mae West, "When I'm good, I'm good, but when I'm bad, I'm better."

10:38 pm

syb215

i have monkeyed around trying to find the hawaiian goose for hours now....

10:39 pm

gapeach

Do you have the first two letters?

10:39 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...just repeat the first two letters

10:39 pm

syb215

yes

10:40 pm

Jillyjill

I love the word...reminds me of our trip to Hawaii

10:40 pm

syb215

OMG!

10:40 pm

gapeach

What Jilly said.

10:40 pm

MollyL

If you do a Google search on "Hawaiian goose" it is the first thing that comes up.

10:40 pm

gapeach

See, you're just going to love these peeps here.

10:41 pm

syb215

My sister said the same thing....google it...but I try to just use me and the chog for clues

10:41 pm

MollyL

Google search is a great thing to use if someone has given the definition but you are still unsure of the word.

10:41 pm

syb215

thanks guys...you sure are an encouragement

10:42 pm

MollyL

To me, there is no difference in getting a word from clues in the chat log and doing some research to find it yourself.

10:43 pm

syb215

You are so right. I don't know why I can't wrap my head around that.

10:44 pm

syb215

My sister "googles" everything.

10:44 pm

MollyL

It's funny. Some people who play this game consider using Lickety's list "taboo". And yet they will take any kid of clue from the chat log. It's all in how you choose to play, I guess.

10:46 pm

Jillyjill

I just use whatever I can, very few grids without lickety tho...

10:47 pm

Jillyjill

And Syb, I learned a new text abbreviation, courtesy of my son...FGI F(Expletive) Google It

10:48 pm

syb215

assistance with the e's in the last column....Love that FGI....

10:48 pm

torgone

10:51 pm

syb215

thanks

10:51 pm

MollyL

Me too Tor. And I'm not sure if that makes me a Village Idiot or Cream O'The Crap...which by the way is the funniest thing I have ever read in Babble chat and I laugh every time I think about it. : D

10:52 pm

torgone

:^D

10:56 pm

syb215

Jillyjill

Lent is coming up...but I will not be giving up Babble for Lent!! Now *poof*
