2:42 am

flosey

2:44 am

grannyrose

one day i will learn how to play that card game. unfortunately, i just don't seem to have enough hours in my day at the moment

2:44 am

flosey

I swear, hubby cut his teeth on a deck of cards - he was dragged out to the local card parties by his Mom

2:45 am

flosey

so when we were married, we took up bridge together - joined a duplicate club - good place to learn the game fast, had a non-playing director who also taught

2:47 am

grannyrose

sounds ideal.....some-one to teach, who isn't actually playing simultaneously.

2:47 am

flosey

it was great, don't often see that

2:55 am

grannyrose

oh, lord, just saw myself in a mirror. washed my quite short hair yesterday, went for my ride on the motorbike today, in full gear of course. now i have helmet hair. it

2:56 am

grannyrose

2:57 am

flosey

lol

2:58 am

grannyrose

i mean there are women who are paying a hairdresser a fortune to get this look....and i get it for free.lol

2:58 am

flosey

you could rent out hubby - just for the ride, of course

2:59 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, thinking.....nah, he's my ride, and only mine.

2:59 am

flosey

and that's a good way to be

3:00 am

grannyrose

Hey Ruby

5:57 am

Angelsong

hi, all. I am happy to say my parents have moved back into their home, eight months after the fire that destroyed half of the house.

6:03 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lynxxx!

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Angel, that is great news.although i bet it seems emptier in the home now.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

And hello, All bablers :-)

6:05 am

zoozzoom

*Babblers.

6:07 am

zoozzoom

Yay found the 9 already..that has to be a good sign.

6:08 am

Angelsong

zooz, I went to their house last weekend, and It seems like the entire house shrunk, although the kitchen is much larger than it was originally, since they remodeled and used much of the garage for the new kichen. it does seem strange, too, without my oldest brother.

6:11 am

zoozzoom

I take it they live not too far away for regular visits..so that should be good.

6:12 am

Angelsong

we live about 45 minutes apart.

6:15 am

zoozzoom

My parents do not live too far away from me, i so enjoy visiting them as often as i can.Even if it is just to help them out with jobs they can no longer do themselves...i enjoy their company & banter..lol

6:17 am

Angelsong

my parents are almost 80, and they have slowed down considerably.

6:19 am

zoozzoom

Same as my parents, Angel. Although their minds are still as sharp as when i was little.. hehe

6:21 am

zoozzoom

My father gets so annoyed that he can not physically do what he used to be able to do , yet his mind is telling him he used to do it why not now..bless him.

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Ha i found being too loud word NO 5/10 then PT it thinking it would not take..but try it anyway..and it did!

6:29 am

ChrissieDee

ty zooz, strange word

6:30 am

zoozzoom

Yes i was trying to use it in my head but could not think of a situation..lol

6:32 am

zoozzoom

Ah in the DEF it is used in the context of spreading a rumour.

6:33 am

ChrissieDee

Looked at the dictionart def. didn't know it could be a verb

6:33 am

ChrissieDee

Oh

6:33 am

zoozzoom

Same here..thats why i struggled to find a use for it..but now i know.

6:35 am

ChrissieDee

I want to use it as " I no6 you " when hubby gets fed up with me talking at him, lol

6:35 am

zoozzoom

hahaha

6:36 am

zoozzoom

I like that.

6:37 am

zoozzoom

The Ps are playing hard to find.

6:39 am

Angelsong

i need some suggestions. My husband and I received gift cards for Amazon dot com, and we cannot decide how to use them. ideas?

6:39 am

ChrissieDee

Just started here, being distracted by the pooch wanting attention

6:40 am

zoozzoom

That is a nice distraction though.

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Angel how about an E-reader?

6:40 am

ChrissieDee

That's a wide remit Angel, can't you get just about anything on Amazon?

6:41 am

MollyL

You can also use them to rent movies from Amazon's streaming service.

6:41 am

zoozzoom

Yoga books?

6:41 am

ChrissieDee

If they are shared vouchers do you need anything for the home?

6:43 am

zoozzoom

Do the vouchers have a time limit on when to use..if not...sit on them untill you find something you really need.

6:44 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly :-)

Very sad, especially in the winter.

7:47 am

I would think summer is a challenge too. High rise apartments with no air conditioning can get stifling.

7:47 am

smores

True, there is really no good time to be without power.

7:48 am

Anniebrook

I am hoping that all the high rises without power will be in good shape by summer. That is a priority.

Hi Scrabs

hi scrabbs :)

8:03 am

smores

well, I kinda did with my 2nd as she was a premmie

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Happy St Paddy's Day to all!

8:03 am

lynxxx

crossed your legs real hard Smores?

8:03 am

MimiCat

Yeah, I know...by the time I was close to giving birth each time I was ready to go. The nurses told me my blood pressure wasn't supposed to go down the way it did but go up. I told them "You don't understand...this is the part I LIKE...I just want them OUT!"

8:03 am

bichon

My son was 9 days early and there was no complaining from me

8:04 am

smores

:)

8:06 am

MimiCat

My son told me yesterday that they're not planning on having more and that he's going to get a vasectomy in the near future. In the meantime, his wife is using some kind of implanted device for birth control that is supposed to be effective. I told him to watch out---I got pregnant on every birth control device known to mankind!

8:07 am

MimiCat

That's how I know mine were meant to be. They had to run an obstacle course, pole vault and swim through muck just to be conceived!

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Great story, Mimi.

8:07 am

bichon

Cute Mimi

8:07 am

lynxxx

some men seem very reluctant to make that step....so much easier when they do it

8:08 am

lynxxx

funny Mimi

8:08 am

bichon

I always wanted to have another pregnancy. That never happened, so we adopted

8:08 am

MimiCat

Made-up word for today: garf - the sound a cat or dog makes trying to get rid of a hairball.

8:08 am

That's nice bichon

8:09 am

MimiCat

Lynxxx, I wouldn't let my ex do that....I was afraid they'd mess up the plumbing! I got my one tube tied instead.

8:09 am

8:10 am

bichon

en 6/27, a clue pls

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Bichon. But I wish more babies were available for adoption. It is so rare now--teen girls are happy to have a baby. In the last 2 months I have seen new mothers ages 15, 16, 17 and 18.

8:10 am

lynxxx

very generous is all I can say Mimi

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car and Nono

8:10 am

MollyL

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Car. Blessings on you and your clan.

8:10 am

Anniebrook

bichon, not the beginning

8:10 am

smores

lol car

8:11 am

bichon

a 15 y.o. mother. Hope her Mom is there to guide her

8:11 am

NonoNanette

lol so 60's and so me this last two weeks....can't get ara on

8:11 am

bichon

ty Annie

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Her mother is a ditz and has a toddler of her own.

8:11 am

MimiCat

I was being selfish, lynx---used to call him Old Faithful, if you get my drift.....

8:11 am

smores

wow...scrabbler

8:12 am

bichon

Sheesh. No wond the girl wanted a baby

8:12 am

bichon

*wonder

8:12 am

MimiCat

Does it ever seem that mostly the wrong people are reproducing?!

8:12 am

smores

yep

8:13 am

Scrabbler

There is no shame anymore. Everything is to be tolerated and accepted, and even celebrated.

8:13 am

MimiCat

(Molly)

8:13 am

MimiCat

It seems like being selfish is now an art form.

8:14 am

bichon

I expect the girl is now on public assistance

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Mimi, everyday in my office I am reminded that people are becoming stupider and more feral. Truly feral. Feral parents raising feral kids.

8:14 am

Anniebrook

and how can a 15 year old support a child and where is the father?

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Molly snuck in there. Good day, lassie.

8:15 am

bichon

The father is probably 16 and she doesn't have to worry as the checks from public assistance keep coming

8:15 am

smores

We were watching a show and there was a pregnant 15yo and my daughter (15) said, you'd kill me, wouldn't you.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

There is no anxiety about having a baby when the government supports you, no matter how many ids you have.

8:15 am

MimiCat

And I was denied SSI after a heart attack! But we have to give these people money for having babies...and they don't even use the money for the good of those babies most of the time...ridiculous.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

The father is 16 but denies paternity, so we are awaiting testing.

8:16 am

bichon

Since he's a minor, are his parents responsible

8:16 am

smores

I told her, no, not until the baby was born.

8:16 am

MimiCat

Doesn't seem like ANYONE is responsible anymore, does it, bichon?

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Good plan, smores.

8:17 am

hurshy

i've been on birth control for years and wonder what happens in 10 or 15 years or whatever as i approach menopause...

8:17 am

lynxxx

I think Mother Nature has mucked a bit. Having children as a teenager was good when we only lived to 40s & 50s ....but as we live to 70s & 80s now - we should not be able to bear children until we are in our 30s

8:17 am

Anniebrook

The government becomes responsible for irresponsible behavior.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

No responsibility, no accountability, no shame.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Amen, Annie.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Why, Hurshy?

8:17 am

MimiCat

But not responsible for us older folks who really need the help.

8:18 am

bichon

She probably has a bunch of friends who are really excited for her and want to emulate her

8:18 am

smores

I wonder about that, I mean if a minor wrecks a car or damages property the parents are held responsible. Why not for child support?

8:18 am

MimiCat

Yep, smores...after all, having a baby at age 15 is a car wreck!

8:18 am

smores

Mine both know better.

8:19 am

hurshy

like, how do i know when i can go off it and not get pregnant with some horribly disfigured child of a 45 year old? being on BC so long may be making my periods give up now, how do i know if it's that or early menopause? are there health risks to being on it from age 22-50?

8:19 am

bichon

I would hope that if my teenaged child got pregnant, she'd have an abortion.

8:20 am

bichon

hurshy, you could use condoms for a few months to see if you started menstruating again

8:20 am

Scrabbler

The young mothers really do treat their babies likes dolls--cute little things to dress up, feed, hug. But when the babies demonstrate free will at about 9 months, the mothers get tired and frustrated. And, usually, the fathers are minimally or not involved.

8:20 am

hurshy

well actually at the moment even condoms would not be necessary

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, there is a health benefit to stopping ovulation.

8:22 am

lynxxx

Have you heard of Colette Dinnagan Hursh - Aust designer quite well known internationally...just had her first child at 47...I am sure she would have been on BC too

8:22 am

hurshy

scrabs, so you're saying i should just stay on it as long as i like?

8:22 am

MimiCat

I'm with you, bichon...I know it's controversial but I think too many children suffer from having been born into bad situations. And somehow these girls rarely consider adoption.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Talk to your gyn MD.

8:23 am

hurshy

yeah i know

8:23 am

hurshy

grain

8:23 am

hurshy

oops sorry

8:23 am

smores

I could never hope for abortion.

8:24 am

MimiCat

I had one years ago, smores....very sad but necessary.

8:26 am

MimiCat

To change the subject, did anyone see the finale of The Bachelor and were you surprised?

8:26 am

hurshy

phantom: indigo

8:26 am

smores

I did also when I was 18, would never wish my daughters to go through that.

8:27 am

8:27 am

smores

Nope, I don't watch it

8:27 am

smores

tried it too hurshy

8:28 am

MimiCat

Also, has anyone seen the movie "The Master?" One of the worst movies I've ever seen...agree or disagree? Would love to know if anyone else found anything redeeming about it.

8:28 am

hurshy

are there any GN words?

8:28 am

lynxxx

oh I really wanted to see that movie - badly

8:28 am

BzznBea

no gn words

8:29 am

hurshy

8:29 am

MimiCat

Obviously, I say don't waste your time or money, lynx.

8:30 am

8:30 am

lynxxx

8:30 am

hey, with spam and afro and tech not counting, i really didn't expect enable to be up on fb terminology but tried fr9 anyway and what do you know, it counts!

8:35 am

hi Scrabs :)

8:35 am

MimiCat

I agree, hurshy, but it's refreshing to have it go in the other direction for a change.

8:35 am

sprite

ah, my favorite word

8:36 am

MimiCat

When I was first divorced all these young guys asked me out and I felt it was my duty to date them as a sort of retribution for years of trophy wives!

Paddy's wife was tired of him coming home drunk and disheveled. The night the old family cat passed away, she gutted it and put the cat guts in the kitchen sink to scare the bejeesus out of Paddy. The next morning, she found Paddy sitting at the kitchen table with a solemn look on his face.
"Mother," he said, "I've quit drinkin' for good."
"Have you now", she replied.
"Indeed I have. Last night I came home and puked my guts out in the kitchen sink. But don't ye worry, I've put 'em all back in."

tom'9 the evening to all

6:30 pm

LeslieAnn

under the grid: top of the second row is a link that says "lickety's babble clues." it will give you the first & second letter for every word in the grid

6:30 pm

penquis

I usually find as many words as i can on my own. Then i check out Lickety and try for more. When all else fails, I ask for a clue here in chat.

6:30 pm

smores

eek...so sorry mama, look below the stats...friends of babble and click on lickety clues

6:31 pm

mamcitadbh

so now I understand how people asking for clues get their info...I want to get as many as I can as well but 50 still??????????

6:32 pm

LeslieAnn

finishing your first grid is pretty rare, mama. most people take a while to get to that point

6:32 pm

LeslieAnn

and you learn all the weird words that pop up all the time

6:32 pm

smores

Yeah, I always try to get as far as I can 1st but would not finish nearly as often without Lickety

6:33 pm

mamcitadbh

ok I feel a bit better. It is a bit like boggle, learning the unique words that is

6:33 pm

MollyL

"Unique" is a kind word.

6:34 pm

6:49 pm

MollyL

As all limericks do, mine had something to do with face and got totally dirty, so I refrain from finishing it.

6:50 pm

PastorJ

The limerick is furtive and mean; you must keep her in close quarantine; or she sneaks to the slums and quickly becomes disorderly, drunk and obscene.

6:50 pm

PastorJ

(author unknown)

6:50 pm

smores

6:58 pm

mamcitadbh

so how do some of these long words end up with these big scores, is the scoring complicated?

6:59 pm

MollyL

If you click on HELP above, it explains the scoring.

6:59 pm

penquis

i think i will have to quit with three words left...the go words and my remaining in word just won't materialize...

7:00 pm

Bugsaw

penquis ask for different clues then!!!!

7:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

scoring is complicated, yes. 4 letter word is 4 points unless one of the letters is worth more than one point. however . . .

7:00 pm

meliae

the tiles have point values just like in Scrabble

7:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

for a five-letter word (or longer) you multiply by 2.

7:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

for a six-letter word, you multiply by 3.

7:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and so on. so, a seven-letter word, where all the letters are 1-pt, would be worth 21 points.

7:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i can't do that in my head so i have made myself a chart!

7:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, 28 points for a 7-letter word (see, i'm not good with the math

7:02 pm

meliae

yeah what Gwen said, LOL thank you Gwen

7:02 pm

penquis

Well i have in 6/21 missing.

7:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

here's a section of my chart, for those of you who care:

7:03 pm

meliae

7:03 pm

wow theres actually a list? :)

7:03 pm

5,10 = all 1s [arles]
5,12 = one 2 [cello]
5,14 = one 3 [argle] or two 2s [harsh]
5,16 = one 4 [fair] or a 3 and a 2 [thong] or three 2s [almud]
5,18 = one 5 [sewar] or a 4 and a 2 [felid] or a 3 and two 2s [poyou]

With one letter words we would be safe from the penalty box.

MollyL

And finger obesity will be at record levels.

New TV show: The Biggest Finger Fat Loser

8:17 pm

rururocks

I was reading about those Football players who were convicted of raping that girl in Ohio.. how lucky they were to be sentenced to Juvenile prison instead of State prison

8:17 pm

MollyL

Jillian Michaels: You type those words! Every damn one of them. And make sure you type them in full! No short cuts!

8:18 pm

rururocks

In a state prison they'd learn the tight end position pretty quickly I would think

8:19 pm

MollyL

I'd love to think that case was a lesson to jocks and how they treat girls, but I don't think so.

8:19 pm

rururocks

you would hope so.. but.. no... teenagers and alcohol is a deadly combination

8:20 pm

rururocks

are a deadly combination oopsie

8:21 pm

smores

Once just ended...quick clean on the kitchen...time to finish :)

8:22 pm

rururocks

Eddie Playing Tennis as Stevie Wonder.. a classic

8:33 pm

rururocks

I can't even watch SNL these days.. there's nothing left as far as talent or funniness

8:35 pm

Jillyjill

8:53 pm

MollyL

By the way, something tells me that corned beef and cabbage is way too plebeian for Ru's taste.

8:53 pm

smores

oh, and yes I had corned beef, cabbage and red skin potatoe for dinner :)

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

Stir fry it perhaps??

8:54 pm

smores

:)

8:54 pm

MollyL

The funniest thing I have heard all day is the rumor that Emma Watson was going to star in 50 Shades Of Grey, the movie. And how she squelched that rumor on Twitter.

8:55 pm

smores

lol..my youngest doesn't like corned beef...fixed her a pizza

8:55 pm

smores

that is funny

8:55 pm

smores

Hadn't heard that one

8:56 pm

cosdem

I read that yesterday. Laughed at it.

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

Had left over corned beef for lunch, made soup for hubby tonight as he was skiing today.

8:57 pm

cosdem

Yes I understand the need to shed Hermoine but not even she would do it lol

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

Isn't SOG's character a bit older than that?

8:58 pm

smores

That will be my lunch tomorrow Jilly

8:58 pm

Jillyjill

Might have to take a cabbage break tomorrow....

8:58 pm

9:04 pm

MollyL

I think it's getting gassy at Chez Jill.

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...just a wee bit...

9:08 pm

MollyL

I fry it all up in a pan. Cubed corned beef and potatoes, shredded cabbage, carrots and sweet corn. It's very good that way.

9:09 pm

Jillyjill

Sounds yummy molly..

9:11 pm

lbdawger

LBD, I was thinking of you today. Saw a funny Maxine St. Patrick's Day song on You Tube.

9:12 pm

smores

WTG Dawg :)

9:12 pm

lbdawger

hmm, might have to google that, Molly.

9:13 pm

smores

Sounds good Molly, never thought to add sweet corn.

9:14 pm

MollyL

It gives it nice color. (I've watched too many cooking shows)

9:14 pm

lbdawger

lol, just watched it, Molly. that is cute.

9:15 pm

smores

I didn't tonight, but I do add carrots sometimes.

9:17 pm

MollyL

LBD, the voice in that video is exactly the way I imagined her voice would be. Sometimes you can tell what people will sound like by what they look like.

9:18 pm

lbdawger

I agree, Molly. I wonder who does the voice.

9:19 pm
