I was wondering if any of you remember the grid that had over 600 words? and I wonder what the record for the most word grid is?

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

I think I remember the 600 grid, and I thot someone told me that was the largest to date

12:28 am

jillibus

I think it was that one at 744 or something

12:28 am

sandyloo

wow that is huge

12:29 am

rururocks

I remember the 744

12:29 am

12:33 am

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

12:36 am

sandyloo

change the first letter of the naked one

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

When the grids are that huge, I wish we could use a mouse, as well as type.

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

going to bed short of mediocrity. nbt, nbs, > halfway, but only 4 7s. sleep, then work. How hideously responsible of me. nite all [poof]

12:36 am

sandyloo

mousing would be great

12:37 am

dart001

probably end up with about 8-9 inches...more just west of here...we had some dry air wrap into the storm and kept our totals down...but had 14.2 last thurs so there is a lot on the ground.

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

I have been having probs with my fingers/hands - would love to mouse now :(

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

Is that unusually high for Wichita?

12:38 am

dart001

last winter had 3 inches all season...and not much up until this last week

12:38 am

sandyloo

they used to mouse in tangleword but it doesn't work in serpentine

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

I don't think anyplace lets you mouse now...

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like our winter this year... minimal snow here compared to previous "norms"... keeps hitting north and south of us

12:39 am

cybernan

stuck at 120

12:39 am

dart001

we'll take it..still about 16 inches of precip below normal for last 16 mths

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

wonder if you'll catch up before summer (so no drought)

12:40 am

dart001

doubt it...that would take a lot

12:41 am

dart001

Neb/Kan are so far in the hole right now...severe drought on the scale

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

I believe IN is also, still, but haven't checked lately

12:41 am

flosey

hi everyone, just hope from bridge

12:42 am

12:45 am

jillibus

Oh, thanks -- sorry so few though.

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

12:45 am

flosey

yes, one player didn't show up

12:46 am

dart001

yep...guess we are classified between exceptional and extreme drought now

12:46 am

jillibus

12:47 am

flosey

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

12:48 am

dart001

we haven't had much rain or snow for the last 24 mths.....and 2 very very hot summers

12:48 am

jillibus

god morning

2:20 am

sandyloo

hi ruby

2:20 am

rubyfoo

hello sandy

2:20 am

sandyloo

how are you getting on?

2:21 am

rubyfoo

Raffie is being sent on the 5th, I think, I've just wired money to Spain. I don't know if she's coming to Lyon or Geneva, but my friend Catherine will take me to pick her up

2:21 am

sandyloo

the puppy looks gorgeous, how old will she be when you get her?

2:21 am

rubyfoo

she'll be about 9 or 10 weeks

2:21 am

sandyloo

that's a good age for a large dog

2:22 am

sandyloo

its a little chilly here today, kinda windy

2:22 am

rubyfoo

we've never gotten one younger than 3 months, so I hope she'll be as clean as the others

2:22 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, Rufie will teach her good habits

2:22 am

rubyfoo

tins

2:22 am

sandyloo

now ruby, you can't expect perfection

2:23 am

rubyfoo

sorry

2:23 am

sandyloo

I forgive you

2:23 am

rubyfoo

all the other chows have been perfect and I'm really not worried! hahah

2:23 am

rubyfoo

How is Nicky doing with her sick dog?

2:24 am

sandyloo

her dog is not sick but has to be spayed and has a skin tag on her eye to be removed as well as a possible tooth to be extracted

2:24 am

sandyloo

she cannot cope she is so worried, she loves that dog

2:25 am

rubyfoo

it is always hard to have a dog needing anesthesia, so I can understand her anguish

2:25 am

sandyloo

I have been playing a game called Serentine and I am the worst player on the whole site LOL

2:25 am

sandyloo

Jaffa is so little but very robust

2:25 am

sandyloo

serpentine

2:25 am

rubyfoo

I don't dare try another game as it would take over my life!

2:26 am

sandyloo

because we are on the farm and limited in what we can do, I can spare some time now- also I am lazy

2:27 am

sandyloo

No doubt busyness will overtake us soon'

2:27 am

rubyfoo

if I didn't have a husband walking around in circles with anxiety and yelling at me, I probably wouldn't get much done, either

2:27 am

rubyfoo

if I could slip some Xanax or Zoloft or Prozac into his food, I would!

2:28 am

sandyloo

Di's husband works up North and has been evacuated because of the large cyclone about to hit

2:28 am

sandyloo

Why is he anxious, is it worry over the puppy?

2:28 am

rubyfoo

another one? You have been very unlucky with weather in Australia this year. Here it's just unremittently [sp?] cold

2:29 am

sandyloo

Why can't you anyway-you could say it was a mistake (got that idea from the south african legless runner)

2:29 am

rubyfoo

he worries about everything: shopping lists, trash collection, wood for the fireplace, everything

2:29 am

rubyfoo

and he gets up at 4 0r 5, obsessing

2:30 am

sandyloo

well , you have to love him for caring!

2:30 am

sandyloo

My father was like that more and more as he got older

2:30 am

rubyfoo

not really [bad nel]

2:30 am

sandyloo

lol

2:31 am

sandyloo

I am struggling with this game , my brain has fallen out after the thorough trouncing I got in Serpentine-it was so bad....lol

2:32 am

rubyfoo

I guess I should try it. Do you play Lexulous?

2:32 am

rubyfoo

all I care about in babble is getting half, nbt and nbs. I hardly ever finish (maybe 6 times in 3 yrs)

2:32 am

sandyloo

what is that? and where is it? if you tell me its on facebook ....(can't understand that facebook)

2:33 am

rubyfoo

it's also at www.lexulous.com

2:33 am

rubyfoo

if you join that, we can play and chat at the same time (if I know you're coming....)

2:33 am

sandyloo

I have lost my driving desire to complete babble like I used to but my enjoyment of it hasn't diminished

2:33 am

rubyfoo

it's scrabble but with a slightly different board

2:34 am

sandyloo

im going to look at it

2:34 am

rubyfoo

I like going into the new grid each day, doing as much as I can and seeing if any of the people I like are on

2:35 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I will try it and let you know how I like it- are the people that play mean like the scrabblers are?

2:36 am

sandyloo

LOL

2:36 am

rubyfoo

I just avoid the men, many of whom get fresh

2:37 am

sandyloo

it must be your fatal charm!!

2:37 am

rubyfoo

I've made one good friend, however, icelandic. He's a sweeties, a little younger than I, married, dog-lover and lives in NY. He's funny and kind and doesn't talk smut

2:38 am

rubyfoo

and sends me poetry and dog photos including a pic of chow puppies after Ruby died

2:38 am

sandyloo

I was just getting off this computor to have some wine - you have stopped me imbibing---he sounds lovely

2:38 am

rubyfoo

he's a nice friend

2:39 am

sandyloo

You must be excited about the new addition tho.

2:40 am

sandyloo

You will have to train Raffie to watch the Tour

2:40 am

sandyloo

I am worried that we wont have the tele going by then- we better or I will be upset

2:40 am

rubyfoo

and I've met a few very nice women: robyn richardson (who lives in Hervey Bay), Tondeleyo (who lives in Saratoga Springs), Sonya Geyer (who lives in J'burg), Pam Patton (in North Carolina). So it's nice for me

2:41 am

sandyloo

Iwill try it, I promise

2:41 am

rubyfoo

Yes, very happy about the new pup, but that doesn't stop me from missing Ruby and checking her "spot" when I awaken in the morning

2:41 am

rubyfoo

don't worry

2:42 am

sandyloo

Ihave to be better at that than Serpentine- which I enjoy strangely enough

2:42 am

sandyloo

of course Ruby, that goes without saying , I still look for Sydney two years later

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I mostly play lex in the evening, 7PM here, so I'm not sure if our times will gibe or not

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I miss Ruby the most, though, at night, when I would give her a massage from 10-11PM

2:43 am

rubyfoo

although she was not demonstrative with anybody else, she would roust me out of bed for that

2:44 am

rubyfoo

and now, off I go to try to calm Burt down

2:44 am

rubyfoo

see you later, cookie!

2:44 am

sandyloo

we will see how I like it , I have added it to favourites, but I have to go, I hear a car- will catch you later (Ruby sounds lovely and I know you had such a good rapore with her but you will love the new pup too altho they never replace ) but bye for now

2:45 am

rubyfoo

hi Zooz

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Ks are easy, Spritey.

4:29 am

lynxxx

one is a nice bloke - my husband

4:29 am

sprite

Ks are never easy

4:29 am

lynxxx

My husband and another way for me to relax

4:30 am

zoozzoom

hehe, Lynxx.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

4:30 am

sprite

:D

4:31 am

sprite

ok found them, thanks. You are right, these are easy, as Ks go

4:32 am

zoozzoom

I knew only as i found them easy to find haha.

4:32 am

lynxxx

wow, I have a vase of se5.16 on my mantlepiece by my chair here. what a coincidence

4:32 am

sprite

oh nice, lyn!

4:33 am

lynxxx

called Autum Joy Se***

4:33 am

lynxxx

*Autumn

4:34 am

zoozzoom

Thanks, Lynxxx if it's the Se 5/16..then i got it first try.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Listen to me..you even put the stats up..lol...sorry just saw se5 and started to look.

4:37 am

sprite

:) Zooz, I can hardly keep my eyes open. You are doing fine.

4:37 am

lynxxx

stop apologising Zooz! if you keep that up I will feel obliged to apologise every 2 minutes myself.

4:38 am

sprite

now zooz must say: "Am I apologising? I am so sorry!"

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that, Spritey..hope everything is ok your end ((Sprite))

4:39 am

sprite

yeah, son came home from school, he is ill, looks like flu. And I am incredibly tired and sleepy. Might be same.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Ok no more So5 words for a whole grid day.lol

4:39 am

sprite

lol you made me type sorry here

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Not good..hope you do not catch it as well.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Did you get your back-up hard drive working?

4:41 am

sprite

hope not. But if it is to be, it is to be.
No, not yet, still debating where to go and what to do.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

I thought about your hard drive problem the other day..then noticed at the bottom of the babble page.the advert for Backblaze..an online back-up storage device..i looked into it..and it sounds pretty good...although you do have to pay $5 a month.

4:44 am

sprite

I wonder about the safety of having all my data online. Some stuff, like my books, I'd rather not have available so easily.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

As far as i am aware as soon as it is backed up it is compressed & incrypted...but i understand your concerns.

4:46 am

MollyL

What about using Cloud storage?

4:46 am

sprite

hi Molly. Isn't that similar?

4:48 am

zoozzoom

I have also heard of cloud storage..but do not know a lot about it.

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Right back to the grid for me..diving in.

4:50 am

MollyL

Yes, but it's a little more advanced that the previous back up storage places. Most of the tech community backs up to The Cloud now and so do many businesses.

4:50 am

sprite

have a good dive, zooz

4:50 am

sprite

ok, thanks Molly, will look into it.

4:51 am

MollyL

Google seems to be the most recommended one. I guess it depends on your needs.

4:52 am

sprite

it is the second time that I cannot access the backups I made myself. So it may be interesting.

5:03 am

zoozzoom

Those Ms seem a struggle to me.

5:04 am

sprite

I could eat a few of 'm

5:04 am

sprite

especially the nutty variety

5:04 am

zoozzoom

lol..yes.

5:08 am

sprite

am gonna check on my son and then try to nap a little myself. Back later. Bye *hug*

5:09 am

radar is a wonderful. It is great to be able to look at it and see what rain is coming and how heavy it is....note: not whinging about heat anymore, we have been having some wonderful rain (just a long as it isn't too heavy)

5:20 am

lynxxx

*wonderful thing

5:21 am

zoozzoom

I am glad it has cooled down for you, Lynxxx..i do like radar on the internet and other gizzmos..i have a mini weather forcaster in the house so i can see whats heading my way for the next 24 hours..lol

5:24 am

lynxxx

our Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has radar on it -over most areas in Australia and you can pinpoint particular areas - its great. So one site - accurate 5 day forecast by major cities, radar, and tides (the last is important to us in this immed area

5:25 am

Lizlin

Hi all - love the BoM local radar site - hubby loves it much more though!!!

5:25 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz.

5:26 am

lynxxx

hi Liz...I bet you do! Yesterday was interesting as you could see the effect of your weather on us down here.

5:26 am

Lizlin

Yes, we watched that!

5:27 am

Lizlin

It's finally a bit drier here tonight! Clear skies! Got soaked this am - decided to go for a walk in spite of the rain!

5:31 am

rubyfoo

hi everybody

5:31 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby :)

5:31 am

rubyfoo

read through the chog and got the se5. thanks. I grow it in my garden and have dried in the house, too.

5:32 am

Hello, Ruby.

Raffie is coming on the 5th!

5:33 am

That's exciting news - not too long to wait :)

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I wired the deposit this AM

5:34 am

zoozzoom

Hope Ruffie will be happy with being the new head..lol

5:34 am

Lizlin

I'm really happy for you - I know Raffie isn't Ruby but I'm sure she'll be very much loved.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

it will be funny to see his reaction to a smaller dog. I hope he doesn't think she's a toy and shake her in his (large) mouth!

5:36 am

zoozzoom

I am sure he will be thriled to have a new friend.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

I think so, too

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Thrilled*

5:37 am

zoozzoom

He will have to show Raffie around the house..and lay down the ground rules..lol

5:37 am

Lizlin

I hope he'll recognise her as a playful pup! My brother's 2 dogs (choc lab - female and springer spaniel - male) were delighted when the springer's daughter came to the house. But they put her in her place when she got too excited!

5:37 am

rubyfoo

ahd hopefully, show her the appropriate "private" places in the garden....

5:38 am

6:17 am

grannyrose

did everyone see the news report on the poor english woman? she has a rare form of tinnitus. she hears 'how much is that doggy" 24/7.

6:17 am

Soodle

Bye Ruby. ((((()))))

6:18 am

rubyfoo

6:18 am

grannyrose

have tinnitus, just a tuneless whistle in my right ear...can drown it out.

6:18 am

MollyL

Soodle, someone once told me that if someone could not find peace in this world, we can at least take comfort that they will have peace in the next. That is about as comforting a thought as I can muster about suicide.

6:18 am

Soodle

Hooray!!! I love puppy hugs. :-)

6:19 am

rubyfoo

"my" Buster gives huge puppy hugs

6:20 am

Lizlin

Love puppy hugs too :)

6:20 am

6:20 am

grannyrose

sooo nice, ruby. one day i too will have another dog...i don't think it's fair as i am still working.

6:20 am

rubyfoo

11:25 am

crosshair

if needed,stand right beside a smoker who has had a fast smoke outside the office or something.it really does the trick

11:25 am

MimiCat

I am always so dismayed to see so many young people smoking these days. There seems to have been a resurgence of it. None of my kids have ever even wanted to smoke, thankfully, and are like me in that they won't even date someone who smokes. Just can't stand it.

11:26 am

Wolvie

hi all- stats for the singleton i please- bottom row?

11:26 am

11:27 am

sarah6girls

stinks *

11:30 am

MimiCat

My father had quit smoking for 20 years and went back to it. He developed mesothelioma and it was so sad to see what that did to him. I've actually said to kids I see smoking "Let me describe the horrible way my father died due to smoking," but kids think they're 10 feet tall and bulletproof. Some just have to learn the hard way. I read in a journal recently that nicotine is the most addictive substance there is....must be since it is so hard for people to quit.

11:31 am

eieios

Clues for the c's? Or stats?

11:45 am

periwinkle

no specific topic. It was fund but disconcerting. The 4 other women in the class either had some experience or had taken another class by the instructor. so no one was a beginner like me.

11:46 am

11:46 am

Aloyisius

11:50 am

crosshair

we have a babbler currently doing the grind through school again.a noble effort but at her age and with it going on and on with many unknown letters starting to appear after her name in the near future,i had to ask what sort of retirement package the school offers it permanent students:)

11:51 am

MimiCat

The peace of mind and satisfaction package, crossy.

11:51 am

invictus

I'm considering going back to school.

11:52 am

MimiCat

Do it, invictus...you won't be sorry. I went back to school online and was amazed at what a good education it is and how much it offers.

11:57 am

invictus

I'm thinking of going for respiratory therapy.

11:58 am

Aloyisius

so, peri.. I imagine you will have a final product at the end of your classes - no project in mind? a wall hanging perhaps?

11:58 am

MimiCat

Great choice and there is so much demand for it.

11:59 am

Aloyisius

oh, did my post get lost in cyberspace?

11:59 am

Aloyisius

something is amiss, am refreshing..

12:00 pm

Has peri left the building?!

I've gotta go for now. Bye and hugs all around.

4:42 pm

Dorens

The cat in my icon is Lucy, she died the day after I asked the vet to put her to sleep, and he thought she had more time. This was a couple of weeks ago. still miss her (and so does my other cat), but it is getting a bit better. How far away do your parents live?

4:45 pm

Dorens

so I extend my sympathy and empathy

4:47 pm

lilliann

sorry to hear about lucy, mine was called jake and he adopted us and i'm so glad he did. we had him for about 6/7 years.it is hard.i'm not sure if our other cat does or not, as she's push him away from his food bowl and frighten him, bless him.i think it was because the first day we had her she swatted him around his face!if we say his name she looks

lilliann

we saw them last february when they came over but now that they are getting older it is harder for them. my dad still drives but now finds it harder in england as it is alot busier on our motorways than in france, plus they always go on the n roads in france as they don't have to pay the tolls :)

Dorens

hope you all have a great time.
I am traveling on Friday... my friend's son is getting married in Costa Rica. sort of a rush job, and not too many people can get down there on such short notice, so I'm going to lend my moral support... have known her since we were 13, and the wedding IS on the beach

4:54 pm

lilliann

as in not far away from the ferry. he lives in kent

4:55 pm

lilliann

that sounds fantastic dorens. i hope you have a lovely time

4:56 pm

Dorens

i think i will. but four days in costa rica is just not enough. want to go climb waterfalls, etc -- not sure how realitic that is

4:57 pm

Dorens

who am I fooling? I'm not about to climb waterfalls anymore at my age. but i like the concept

4:57 pm

Deeha

Its nice now you can get a pet passport and bring your dogs over to UK nowadays

4:57 pm

lilliann

no, i must admit 4 days are never enough, but saying that 2 weeks aren't always either if you like the country you are visiting

4:57 pm

lilliann

lol, well you can dream :)

4:59 pm

Dorens

that i can. well, I'm off for a bout of exercising, so this fat old body can eat well at the wedding. see you later

5:00 pm

lilliann

hi deeha, it is,but it costs alot of money plus the pets have to see vets here a day or two before travelling.i'm not sure about france, but i know that there vaccinations have to be up to date now which is good

5:01 pm

lilliann

doren's you are who you are.you are a mature, voluptuous lady.enjoy your exercise and tc.speak to you soon

5:03 pm

lilliann

(i hope i didn't offend you dorens) we all need hips and bumps in places and not look like sticks :)

5:07 pm

MollyL

See Lilliann? There is the "lingo". "This fat old body". We have been trained to think that our bodies are not acceptable and it comes out in our thoughts and words.

5:09 pm

MollyL

Sad fact is, we have been trained to degrade ourselves. I see it here all the time. "I am so dumb".

5:13 pm

jmcnrick

i am brilliant but i can't spell

5:15 pm

lilliann

i must admit molly. i'm the same.i have put myself down for years as my ex husband said i looked 'a tub of lard and chocka'.i was 23 when we got married and i still put myself down now even though my ex fiance and my now husband always say i have a lovely body.once in your head,it's never gone, plus we as women are our own worst enemies!

5:16 pm

lilliann

i can spell, well most of the time when i don't have a brain freeze jmc but i'm not brilliant :0 and hi by the way

5:16 pm

jmcnrick

hi!

5:16 pm

MollyL

We all do it, to some degree. Most of us were brought up being told not to brag on ourselves. Somehow that turned into putting ourselves down.

5:16 pm

jmcnrick

i needed to say that as i had a not very successful telephone call to raise $$$$$

5:17 pm

lilliann

the thing is, as we get older we do put on weight, especially with having children and the menopause

5:17 pm

MollyL

It must be hard trying to solicit donations in this economy.

5:17 pm

jmcnrick

i tend to be harsh on myself because i was the brunt of bullies for all of elementary school and most of jr and sr high

5:18 pm

jmcnrick

it was a try for a big fish molls which would bring me to where i could more easily raise money. . .

5:18 pm

lilliann

what are you raising dollars for jmc?

5:18 pm

jmcnrick

but i didn't land it

5:19 pm

jmcnrick

for the organization i started to deal with process issues in the US government like campaign finance reform

5:19 pm

uusue2

5:22 pm

jmcnrick

5:22 pm

uusue2

naps are sweet :-)

5:24 pm

jmcnrick

yes the advantage of working out of home is the ease with which i can take a nap. . . i always set an alarm though

5:25 pm

lilliann

i can't ecercise much now sadly.the most exercise i get is my nose flaring when i'm snoring!

5:25 pm

jmcnrick

looks like you are getting the worst end of this storm molls and i am not liking what i am getting

5:25 pm

jmcnrick

5:27 pm

lilliann

hi saphyre

5:27 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear that is too bad. . . i guess i would be raising my arms until i got dizzy. . . but it is easy for me to say since i don't have the problem. . . .

5:27 pm

MollyL

Honestly, I don't mind what it's doing outside as long as I am home where it's warm and comfortable.

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

where in florida?

5:28 pm

uusue2

just looking at the weather map, looks like a huge storm, stretches all the way from the Atlantic to Nebraska

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

yes being at home makes it better. . . and i enjoy watching the storm out my deck sliding doors

5:28 pm

MollyL

But yes, it just started raining pretty hard. Right after boyo got home from work, which was nice. : )

5:29 pm

lilliann

when i'm lying in bed i do some exercises and then i get dizzy and fall asleep for hours so thye excercise i've done hasnn't done much but i'm happy, i've done some jmc

5:29 pm

jmcnrick

yes that is nice molls. . . i will just assume the boy is home from a hard day at selling real estate. . . or bikes. . . whichever it is today

5:30 pm

lilliann

i'm glad boyo got home safe and that you are both warm molly

5:30 pm

jmcnrick

well maybe over time you can build up. . . don't mind me. . . none of my beeswax

5:31 pm

uusue2

5:31 pm

lilliann

no, it will never get better but i don't mind you asking

5:31 pm

jmcnrick

5:31 pm

lilliann

5:31 pm

jmcnrick

er my nice comment was to sue not lill!

5:32 pm

lilliann

i knew that lol

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

haha

5:32 pm

uusue2

he said he was shoveling the driveway at his fraternity house and decided there were plenty of other people there who could do that, so he's coming here to do ours instead

5:33 pm

uusue2

Frank is out with the snowblower but the snow is very wet and heavy so it is tedious (I have a cheap snowblower)

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

well i hope you greet him with hot cocoa!

5:33 pm

lilliann

aww, bless him.it would be good if he could bring some friends, as it would be quicker

5:33 pm

saphyre

I sure don't miss the shoveling from when i lived in NY

5:33 pm

uusue2

I suggested that, lilli, but he said we probably don't want them (he doesn't think they work hard enough)

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

there has been no shoveling here in DC this year

5:34 pm

MollyL

And YAY and HALLELUJAH for that.

5:34 pm

uusue2

no snow, jmc?

5:34 pm

saphyre

No and we bought a generator so haven't lost power yet either LOL

5:34 pm

lilliann

lol sue

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

there has been some snow but the sun has been sufficient to clear the pavement

5:35 pm

MollyL

Ugh, Son of Sue is living in a frat house? I hope he's had his shots. : )

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

i was thinking the other day about how i probably should have spent the extra money to have my solar panels go to a battery. . . .

5:35 pm

uusue2

it's a Jewish fraternity, Molly, so I figure they are at least partly studious

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

haha

5:36 pm

uusue2

and he is one of the oldest there, so is becoming the responsible adult - it's good for him

5:36 pm

MollyL

*Is thinking of funny names for Jewish fraternities*

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

*gets the drums ready for a rimshot*

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

riftshot?

5:37 pm

uusue2

Alpha Epsilon Pi. Don't ask me why a Jewish fraternity has Greek letters :-)

5:38 pm

MollyL

Oy Veta Knishilon

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

Hi Lilli, jmc, Molly saphyre and Sue - hope I didn't miss anyone :)

5:49 pm

MollyL

No worries, Liz and I are bubellahs. : D

5:49 pm

Lizlin

Sure is! I really liked U challah your mudda - mafioso / Jewish, I'd say!

5:49 pm

saphyre

Hi Liz

5:50 pm

Lizlin

Just judging by Hollywood representation of mafioso!

5:50 pm

MollyL

I think it would be cool if Jewish fraternities used the letters from the Hebrew alphabet.

5:51 pm

Lizlin

Aleph, Bet, Pay - not the same ring to it!

5:51 pm

Lizlin

Not sure if I used the right letters - don't use these frat letters in the UK.

5:52 pm

Lizlin

Then you'd also have to have frats using letters from lots of other cultures too! I don't know all of the alphabets!

5:53 pm

MollyL

If Ru were here, he would say "It's all Greek to me".
: D

5:54 pm

Lizlin

Good response :)

5:55 pm

Lizlin
