1:04 am

dizgrannie

oopsie...Night Jilli xx

1:05 am

flosey

I often wake up at this time of night - a bit maddening since I do need more sleep than I get

1:05 am

flosey

but I love the quiet of the night

1:06 am

puglet

so do I Flosey

1:06 am

puglet

frist

1:06 am

flosey

where are you pug? time zone?

1:07 am

puglet

sorry

1:07 am

puglet

mid west Indiana--its 2:07 am

1:08 am

flosey

ah, that's late - when I visit sons in Toronto, I seldom get to start the grid until the next day

1:08 am

dizgrannie

only 4:08 pm here

1:09 am

flosey

but you're in our Tomorrow already diz

1:09 am

Nef

me too. I worked nights for nearly 38 years; have been on "day" shifts since2008 and I still love the night quiet. The weird thing is that now that I'm sort of re****d; I'm waking early and staying up late (and wanting naps during the day!)

1:09 am

puglet

I think reiron should be a word--

1:10 am

flosey

agree, do that a bit

1:11 am

puglet

me too---and I say 'got to reiron that'

1:11 am

1:41 am

flosey

took a while to find that fr8, another oddie

1:41 am

flosey

but it gave me 3 words, thanks

2:02 am

saanichcat

Hi Flosey - I took your excellent advice and joined Lumosity. It's Great! Thanks!

2:17 am

dizgrannie

whatis Lumosity? plz

2:21 am

saanichcat

IT IS A BRAIN IMPROVEMENT TRAINING (whoops sorry ) course and has real scientific basis, not the self-help junk you see everywhere. If you Google Lumosiy, their site explains it well. Flosey knows more - she's been doing it for years. Helps stave off dementia etc.

2:22 am

dizgrannie

ty saanich, will definately check it out.

2:23 am

VYCanisMajoris

how is nicoise not a word here

2:23 am

saanichcat

Flosey must be deep in the grid! Youare welcome dizgrannie

2:33 am

flosey

Hi Saanichcat lol, was off doing Lumosity - bad time of day to do it!

2:34 am

flosey

it is great diz, enjoy if often - but there are some tests that are very difficult for me

2:34 am

flosey

should do it earlier in the day, when brain is a little more alert

2:36 am

flosey

it can be very frustrating at times too, but, if I lose my drivers licence over memory loss, I'll really be in a bind, we need a car on the island and hate to have to be driven everywhere

2:36 am

flosey

hubby is pretty good about it though

2:38 am

flosey

there are 3 steps to the drivers testing when you reach 80 - first doctor's test for memory and related issues, then, failing that, there's a computer test, failing that, a road test off island

2:38 am

saanichcat

good luck with the DL thing Flosey. I can't imagine you not passing it!

2:40 am

flosey

I did check in with the drivers' ed here on the Island, he took me around - roads I didn't know existed here, and told me I was a good driver - bolstered my ego a bit which is desperately needed at that point

2:40 am

saanichcat

I have seen the computer set-ups and elderly folks' reaction to them- completely overwhelmed and intimidated - adding to their anxiousness etc. Not fair at all to relay on strange machinery.

2:41 am

flosey

of course, our island is all up and down, winding, etc so am comfortable with it

2:41 am

flosey

there is a bit of controversy over that computer test - may be doing away with it

2:41 am

saanichcat

good.

2:42 am

flosey

lots of seniors don't use computers so they are uncomfortable to start with

2:42 am

flosey

anyway, have 2 more months before facing it a second time

2:43 am

saanichcat

That's what I was getting at earlier

2:44 am

saanichcat

Good after a healthy summer and not in the middle of the winter!

2:44 am

flosey

yes, saanichcat, my brother, 2 years older will not get one - do love to receive his hand written letters

2:44 am

flosey

he's in Toronto

2:45 am

flosey

anyway, on with the grid, 104 to go still

2:45 am

saanichcat

I wouldn't drive in Toronto even 30 years ago!

2:46 am

saanichcat

yup, me too. See you tomorrow at flip.

2:47 am

flosey

I drove from north of TO to the waterfront every day, nothing bothered me then, we moved west when I was 29 then went back, 5 years later 30 more years and nothing fazed me then

2:48 am

flosey

now, after being here for a while, I will not drive back there at all,

2:49 am

flosey

good night Saanichcat, I'll be here tomorrow night

2:50 am

saanichcat

nite Flosey, sleep well, get nicely tucked in.

2:51 am

flosey

thanks, and you

8:37 am

grannyrose

8:37 am

crosshair

2 week prep time from yesterday

8:37 am

crosshair

((granny))

8:38 am

grannyrose

{{{crossy}}}...new glasses??? getting a tad older are we???

8:38 am

crosshair

one of my eyes is 20/20 and the other needs a bit for reading.also it seems one eye is tad lazy and my eye also operate independantly of each other..i had no idea

8:39 am

crosshair

so,it is no wonder 3d movies never worked for me

8:39 am

crosshair

not older,distinguished

8:39 am

mael

haha

8:39 am

grannyrose

lol, poor crossy!

8:39 am

mael

as in, "can now distinguish words on the page?" ;)

8:40 am

grannyrose

yeah, i noticed the grey streaks at the temples....*giggle*

8:40 am

crosshair

lol,well,needing readers only,that i can live with as well as my other eye quirks

8:40 am

MimiCat

Yes, as we know, crossy, as men age they become distinguished....women become hags.....not fair.

8:40 am

grannyrose

rofl, mimi...can so relate to that

8:41 am

crosshair

you all look beautiful to crossy

8:41 am

MimiCat

Sorry, really feeling the age discrimination thing this week. Ahhh--crossy, this is one reason you are beloved.

8:42 am

crosshair

my son however test extremely far sighted,explains the headaches

8:43 am

crosshair

health plan covered everything but 8 dollars for both pairs(crossy hugs his provincial health care card)

8:45 am

mael

you lucky canadian man, you

8:45 am

crosshair

well,we do pay,but just at tax time instead of to insurance companies.that way you know you are always covered,working or not

8:46 am

crosshair

boy do we pay.4 taxes on gasoline hehe

8:46 am

MimiCat

We really need to get it together in this country as far as healthcare. In Arizona I can't even get Medicaid because they changed the law and you can only qualify if you have children at home.....how stupid is that!

8:47 am

MimiCat

We are penalized in many ways for getting older.

8:47 am

crosshair

our gasoline this moring is $1.15 per litre.just multiply that by 3.78 for the american gallon and you will see how we get the money lol

8:47 am

grannyrose

back....crossy so needs new glasses if we all look okay to him.

8:47 am

crosshair

3 taxes on propane,home heating fuel etc

8:47 am

crosshair

lol,granny

8:48 am

mael

I'm from Italy, I really miss universal healthcare

8:48 am

mael

I'm self employed, figuring out health insurance for my husband and I is a disaster

8:48 am

crosshair

crazy sin taxes on booze,smokes etc.not that i smoke anymore.do not know how they can pay 11 dollars for a pack of lung darts

8:49 am

MimiCat

Well, granny, we look good because we CAN'T be seen! But crossy sees our beautiful spirits, I think.

8:49 am

crosshair

i am sure you do mael especially since you had it before and can compare

8:49 am

grannyrose

just realised...have been at this grid for 2 hours....AND I STILL HAVE 9 TO GO....waaahhh

8:49 am

mael

hahaha, if I could get to the end of most grids in 2 hours I'd be a much more productive person

8:50 am

crosshair

indeed mini remember you have a body but you ARE a soul

8:50 am

grannyrose

awwww, mimi, such a lovely thought...but no it relly doesn't wash over here. *giggle*

8:50 am

MimiCat

Hey, granny, I've been working on it since the flip, off and on, and still have 199 to go.......I really suck at this game.

8:51 am

MimiCat

Oh, come on, granny----let it wash!

8:51 am

grannyrose

mimi, but your wonderful joi de vive comes through...that's more important to me, hun

8:52 am

MimiCat

Thank you, dear....so kind.

8:53 am

crosshair

i find that if i cannot get to half way in lets say 2 hours or so,i know i will not finish the grid

8:53 am

grannyrose

mimi, my last patient was a chronic pain patient. his pain consultant was supposed to set up a pain management program, post-op....guess what? surprise, surprise!! no pla...and the so-and-so didn't even answer his page, when i sent it out.

8:54 am

MimiCat

I never finish, crossy. Just glad I have no goal to do so...just enjoy what I do get and let it go. Mostly here for the wonderful company.

8:55 am

crosshair

indeed.first year or so,i used to panic about finishing but no longer

8:55 am

mael

I just got over halfway now, uff

8:55 am

grannyrose

call me obsessive if you like...i soooo love this game, i just have to finish...

8:55 am

crosshair

my babble 5th anniversary is coming up in june:))

8:56 am

mael

I started about a year ago, it really helps me relax in the morning

8:56 am

MimiCat

Granny, don't even get me started on the way pain is mismanaged. I had chronic pain for years...nightmare. Over it now, though...two back surgeries and years later it kind of resolved itself---tell me there is no God!

8:56 am

crosshair

i started it to try and hone an edge on what is left of my mind:)

8:57 am

wvteach

i am also addicted (obsessed) with the game and with finishing - but also enjoy the chat

8:57 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, crossy....that bad, mate???

8:58 am

crosshair

no,not as bad as all that but the cisplatin had some nasty side effects up and above the numb hands and feet

8:58 am

MimiCat

I so appreciate my Babble friends....the grid itself is really secondary to me.

8:58 am

crosshair

9:05 am

MimiCat

When I say I hate getting old people always say it's better than the alternative to which I reply "How do you know?" That stops 'em.

9:06 am

crosshair

oh oh,aussie invasion!!!

9:06 am

crosshair

well,any day on this side of the dirt is a good day

MimiCat

9:18 am

rururocks

good plan mimi

9:19 am

rururocks

9:20 am

MimiCat

I told my kids when I die I want half my ashes scattered over Ouray, Colorado and the other half along the 17-mile drive in Carmel. That way, if they want to "visit" Mom, they get a nice vacation.

9:21 am

hego

Have you ever tried scattering ashes?

9:21 am

hego

It's not as easy as it sounds.

9:22 am

MimiCat

â™ªâ™ªâ™ªla la la to you, too, hurshyâ™ªâ™ª

9:22 am

rururocks

9:24 am

rururocks

9:26 am

grannyrose

9:26 am

phaeton

I've said this before but will obviously say it again. I've decided Oprah had the right idea----never marry, never have kids, have great career, make lots of money and raise dogs.

9:26 am

hego

Hi Phae

9:26 am

rururocks

Oh gosh granny!

9:27 am

MollyL

What's not to love Hego? He's rich and he can cook.

9:27 am

MimiCat

Don't know about hego, ru, but he could butter my anything!

9:27 am

crosshair

but,if everyone raised dogs, then there would be no people after 100 years;))

9:27 am

hego

He could butter anything he'd like Ruru. lol

9:28 am

hego

Snap Mimi!!

9:28 am

hurshy

9:28 am

MimiCat

And your point, crossy?!!!

9:28 am

hurshy

oop found one, et4/5

9:28 am

grannyrose

lol, hego....talk about ill-timed!!! was a tad embarrassing, to say the least

9:28 am

crosshair

dogs would inherit the earth..would probably not be a bad thing

9:28 am

MimiCat

We're on the same page, hego!

9:28 am

hurshy

He'd no doubt have his own harem!

9:30 am

phaeton

9:34 am

MimiCat

Well, gotta get going. Hego, keep us posted on your Napa plans...I would really love to make the trip and meet you and perhaps others as well. What a time we will have, thanks to ruru! Bye and hugs all around.

Cease and desist!

9:48 am

rururocks

9:49 am

o-o

you for years deliberately offended people

9:49 am

MimiCat

Much love and appreciation to ruru...now POOF!

10:06 am

Riverdance

sounds like fun flosey

10:07 am

o-o

et 6/18 is first from that tile

10:07 am

flosey

et6/18, sounds like beginning of forever - lop off last letter and change last vowel

10:08 am

Riverdance

thans flosey

10:15 am

Erda

Take ir6/21 and add the third vowel in front

10:15 am

dcseain

12:48 pm

Judi

I stopped at a local Chinese place to pick up my lunch. As I pulled up, a woman in the car next to me, jumped out of her car. She was wearing a rather posh looking full-length white terrycloth robe and slippers. She was going into the dry cleaners.

12:49 pm

Anniebrook

That is funny!

12:49 pm

sprite

great start of a story! Go on :)

12:50 pm

Judi

Well, that was about it. I was just amazed that she would even leave the house in that get-up, let alone go out in public. All I could think was, "can you not make at least some effort?"

12:51 pm

Anniebrook

Or the dry cleaner had the only clothing she owned

12:51 pm

sprite

lol indeed... quite some courage that would take for me to go out like that!

12:53 pm

MollyL

I see women out in their pajama pants and slippers all the time these days. It's amazing how lazy people have gotten.

12:53 pm

BzznBea

I was going to say the same thing, Molly.

12:54 pm

bichon

My neighbor never gets dressed. She's out in her bathrobe all the time. Of course she has Alzheimers

12:54 pm

Judi

Well, anyone with Alzheimer's gets a pass. This chick was driving. All she needed was a turban, some big sunglasses and a pocket dog. Ridiculous.

12:56 pm

BzznBea

It is only acceptable in America, I guess. Wal-Mart especially.

12:57 pm

sprite

lol, I would laugh my socks off

12:57 pm

Dispatch

nan...the only two se 6/18 I have contain double consonants with a different vowel in 5th place

12:57 pm

Judi

lol, Bzzn. ESPECIALLY @ WalMart.

12:57 pm

BzznBea

I refuse to shop there. I will go miles out of my way and pay twice as much.

12:58 pm

Buggie

haha, reminds me of a joke I saw on facebook (though I believe it was serious), some woman commenting about how relaxed a shop was, you didn't have to get all dressed up like you were going to walmart

12:58 pm

sprite

lol

12:58 pm

12:59 pm

Judi

I feel guilty if I go outside the house in sweatpants.

1:00 pm

bichon

I wear grungy clothes a lot. More comfortable

1:00 pm

Judi

I'm all for being comfortable, but one simply does not leave one's house wearing P-jay-jays.

1:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol@judi. thanks i need a good laugh, today is not going as i would like

1:01 pm

america, land of the free. i am sure someone will soon sue for the right to walk around naked. and win.

1:03 pm

cybernan

no idea what the medical term is for morning sickness -- just remember it was darned miserable!

1:03 pm

Judi

Again, we must look to Wal-Mart,TO.

1:03 pm

BzznBea

They might as well walk around naked. They wear their pants hanging off their arse and their boobs flop out of their tops.

1:03 pm

Buggie

I though there was a part of San Francisco where you could go around naked?

1:04 pm

cybernan

and their bellies hang over their pants

1:04 pm

cybernan

is there another clue for the ec 6, please?

1:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

there might be. indecency used community standards

1:04 pm

I'm calling it quits on this grid. See you kids tomorrow!

But he came in and gave me a big hug and said "Thank you Geema for playing everyday with me!" (Of course, then I had to crawl around on the floor and play super heroes with him!)

Must go. Great to see all of you. Bye

2:40 pm

dianedecoder

2:43 pm

dianedecoder

Hi mael

2:48 pm

Nef

Soodle, I think he's grumpy because he's tired. I'm trying to talk him into a nap right now

2:48 pm

Nef

Wow, mael; sorry to hear that. :-(

2:50 pm

Soodle

Hmmm. I had a look back over the chog, & there Was a bit of nastiness. :-(

2:50 pm

mael

it's alright, everything is better with the sunshine! :)

2:50 pm

Nef

oh, dear. (Now I'll have to be nosey too)

2:52 pm

Soodle

'Grumpiness' must be in the air today!

2:52 pm

mael

it's probably the pollen count, soodle ;)

2:53 pm

Soodle

Lol! Do you work in the Diplomatic Corps, Mael? If not, you should consider it. :-)

2:54 pm

Nef

At least DH may have an excuse. His legs were quite spastic last night and I was awakened with several sharp kicks (he was still asleep!). His M.S. has caused spasticity in his legs when he falls asleep; but this was something new.

2:55 pm

mael

I'm sorry nef, that sounds unpleasant for everyone. Is he feeling better?

2:55 pm

Soodle

Oh how horrible. I suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome, & its rotten!

2:56 pm

Nef

he slept through his spasticity this AM; so I was the only one who got kicked.

2:57 pm

Nef

Soodle, some people confuse RLS with spasticity. Either way; they're both pretty miserable-looking

2:58 pm

Nef

(speaking as a nurse observer)

oregano brings them in too. . . my fence is not cat proof since i want my cat to come in and out at will

3:26 pm

lilliann

i didn't know that about oregano jmc

3:27 pm

jmcnrick

it is a cousin to catnip. . .

3:27 pm

Soodle

<-------puts oregano into all of Soodle's Signature Dishes!

3:28 pm

lilliann

we have dried catnip for our cat and she goes mad so i don't want to plant one as we have loads of cats in our neighbourhood and i don't want them peeing and pooing everywhere and pulling my plants out of my tubs and window boxes

3:28 pm

Nef

actually, mints are also related to catnip. If you feel the stem of the plant; they will feel square; which means they are part of that family.

3:28 pm

mael

it's very true, nef

3:28 pm

lilliann

really nef, i never knew that about mint and catnip.i always have mint growing in tubs

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

i like oregano too soodle that is why i grow it. . . too cheap to buy the fresh herb. . .

3:29 pm

crosshair

interesting.did not know that about mint

3:29 pm

Nef

(they also are very invasive

3:29 pm

lilliann

i like oregano soodle

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

wise to grow mint in tubs because it is very invasive. . .

3:29 pm

mael

I love the catnip for the flowers, my cat loves it for the high :)

3:29 pm

crosshair

we love growing wild chives.love them on taters

3:30 pm

lilliann

3:30 pm

jmcnrick

yes i like the oregano flowers too. . . i also grow thyme and chives and have a 30 ft tall bay tree. . .

3:30 pm

lilliann

i was just going to say i always grow chives and love the purple flowers

3:30 pm

jmcnrick

the chive flowers are great to eat and makes things look pretty. . .

3:30 pm

MollyL

I'm just going to say this and then I will shut up. Having
problems you can't put behind you is not a license to
constantly insult people.

3:31 pm

crosshair

lol,i do the same.i say to the cats"ok where is your bong?" and they get all excited because they know that catnip is coming(we use a liquid catnip spray and put a spritz or 2 on a favorite toy

3:31 pm

lilliann

my neighbour has a bayleaf tree and gave me a branch of them the other day.do you know how i dry them or maybe take a cutting jmc?

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

i also grow parsley and basil. . .several kinds

3:32 pm

Nef

we have chives, oregano, catnip, peppermint, spearmint and..... I've forgotten the other mint. They all are growing in deep pots sunk in the ground because of how they spread (not the chives, though They are already coming up though

3:32 pm

Soodle

Theres a thing! How do you guys across the Atlantic pronounce 'oregano'? I say OriGANNO. I've heard it pronounced ad orIGGano on TV shows. What do you call it?

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

i usually leave them on the branch lillian. . .they are never pretty when they dry. . .

3:32 pm

lilliann

i have fruit bushes...blueberrie,red currant,black currants and raspberries and miniature trees in pots..apple, pear and plum

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

o-reg-gano. ..

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

the birds eat all my fruits :-(

3:33 pm

lilliann

i say ori garn-o

3:34 pm

jmcnrick

but you can let them dry slowly on the branch. . .

3:34 pm

crosshair

we say oreg-an-o not or-e-ganno

3:34 pm

jmcnrick

brb mail's here (highlight of day)

3:35 pm

lilliann

without the r sound it would sound like ori-gaaaan-o which is what some geordies say for going...gan

3:35 pm

Nef

the catnip, mints and chives are all that are up so far. :-( There are little nubbins of rhubarb just showing their color s in that corner of our yard.

3:35 pm

Soodle

TomAtoes, TomAhtoes, I guess!

3:36 pm

Nef

jmc says oregano the same way we do here in the Midwest.

3:36 pm

lilliann

i also grow tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries.i think alot of my strawberrie plants died this winter

3:36 pm

mael

I say origano, but I'm Italian :)

3:36 pm

lilliann

i agree molly

3:36 pm

Soodle

Lilliann, how's the bairn doing?

3:37 pm

lilliann

ooh, i bet you know loads of fab italian dishes then mael?

3:37 pm

mael

I also agree, Molly

3:37 pm

mael

I do! Or at least, I hope I do!

3:37 pm

crosshair

words that start with vowels hate crossy and hide

3:37 pm

Soodle

And me!!!

3:38 pm

mael

crossy, I hate vowel words so so so much. My brain has such a hard time finding them, for whatever reason

3:38 pm

lilliann

she's fine thanks soodle,she has the odd moment but has recovered really well.ty for asking

3:39 pm

Soodle

Thats great, Lil!

3:39 pm

lilliann

mael, you'll have to share some of your recipes with us

3:39 pm

lilliann

she's back to being a gobby teenager!!

3:39 pm

crosshair

crossy loves good italian dishes..as long as a pound or 3 of cheese is involved:))

3:40 pm

godthaab

Mael, I was looking at your picutres the other day. You are a fabulous photographer!

3:40 pm

mael

my favorite dish to impress is my lasagna

3:40 pm

mael

thanks, godthaab! Those are older photos, I really need to update my flickr account. It's one of my favorite things to do

3:40 pm

Soodle

Hego was on earlier, - she's going to Tuscany in a couple of weeks. How I envy her. The food, the wine,.......... Sigh

3:41 pm

crosshair

ohhh,home made lasagna with lots of cheese and lots of layers:))

3:41 pm

mael

the more layers the better. You need to get the pasta sheets as thin as possible, so they get crispy on the edges and melty in the middle

3:41 pm

godthaab

It's great you get to travel so much. Are these vacations, or work related?

3:42 pm

mael

Tuscany this time of year is just marvelous, the food is marvelous year round

3:42 pm

crosshair

lol,keep the grape juice just bring the lasagna and a few bottles of ouzo

3:42 pm

mael

Work and family, mostly. I wish I could say I go to Italy on vacation, but alas, I go for work and to deal with my aunts :)

3:43 pm

Soodle

'Crispy on the outside, melty in the middle'.....salivating....

3:43 pm

lilliann

it's her vacation godthaab

3:43 pm

crosshair

ojhhhh..crossy is hungry now...all crispy cheese on top....

3:44 pm

lilliann

that's what i like about a home-made lasagne, as mine always gets crispy on the outside and soft in the middle but shop bought ones aren't like that at all

3:44 pm

crosshair

shop ones are crapola

3:44 pm

mael

it's true, lillian, they are absolutely not worth it

3:44 pm

lilliann

i hate ouzo

3:45 pm

crosshair

light on the meat,heavy on the sheets of pasta and a skim of bland mild cheese

3:45 pm

lilliann

but that's greek not italian :)

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

*sigh* money in; money out. . .i never seem to get ahead. .

3:46 pm

3:46 pm

3:47 pm

lilliann

3:47 pm

mael

3:48 pm

jmcnrick

i spent a week on corfu one winter. . .

3:48 pm

jmcnrick

3:48 pm

lilliann

3:49 pm

jmcnrick

lilliann

3:51 pm

crosshair

howdy ((stidmama))

3:51 pm

jmcnrick

it is okay. . . 10 per month means that if i watch more than 2 movies that month i come out ahead. . .

3:52 pm

crosshair

you would cringe at how i type,nef

3:52 pm

Nef

hi stid. Your books are mailed! :-)

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

but now that i get it through amazon. . . i am really happy. . .

3:52 pm

stidmama

WOO_HOO!!!!!

3:52 pm

lilliann

we've been about 8 times soodle. we haven't been for years as we then started going to egypt as we could get a cheaper holiday all inclusive, but i do miss corfu and the greek people we met that became really good friends

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

it is a tiny museum but i was just graduated from my chinese history degree so was delighted to find it. . .

3:52 pm

stidmama

3:53 pm

crosshair

lol,np,stidmama.i love getting books as gifts also

3:53 pm

MollyL

Netflix for free with Amazon Prime? Can you explain that please?

3:54 pm

stidmama

I also picked up my "knight owl" horseshoe sculpture from one of the schools I sub at today. It's a great project for teaching welding to the kids and will make a most excellent paperweight when I get my own classroom!

3:54 pm

crosshair

crossy also has to look into amazon prime.if i can get a 2-1 for same price....

3:54 pm

jmcnrick

i just bought some textbooks and they asked me did i know that my prime included free streaming movies and would i be interested and i said yes and they sent me an email that said it was netflix. . .

3:54 pm

Soodle

Right down the very bottom of the island, Lill. Close to Messonghi/Morataki.

3:54 pm

Nef

yes, stud. Could you post your Amazon name (or whatever) here on your profile for a month or so?

3:54 pm

MollyL

That is why I'm curious. I have Amazon Prime and there is no mention of free Netflix.

3:54 pm

lilliann

why is it on babble, either there is no chat, not a lot of chat and then there is loads that you can't keep up with.i'm going dizzy!! :)

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

the prime saves a ton on shipping if you are not in a rush. . .

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

i was surprised. . . brb. . .

3:56 pm

Soodle

Famine or feast, Lilliann

3:56 pm

3:56 pm

crosshair

ok..i see a cost of $79.00 a year plus taxes.looking for it to tell me about bonus stuff with it

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

that was from amazon

3:56 pm

MollyL

Yeah, but that is Prime Instant video, not Netflix.

3:56 pm

crosshair

very interesting,ty,jmc

3:57 pm

lilliann

we use to go to roda as it was quiet and then travel around the island in a car everytime, but i don't rember messongi/merotaki.i'll have to look at a map

3:57 pm

jmcnrick

the main bonus is free shipping for most amazon things

3:58 pm

crosshair

so,i do not know amazon,or amazon prime at all.is it mostly books??

3:58 pm

jmcnrick

you are right molls. . .i swear one of the things said netflix. . .

3:58 pm

crosshair

crossy uses biblio.com for books atm

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

amazon is a big internet store. . . i usually buy my books direct from dealers but if i can't find them i will buy them through amazon. . .

3:59 pm

MollyL

First of all, check into whether or not Amazon Prime is available in Canada. Your 79 bucks gets you free 2 day shipping on most orders and free streaming of movies and TV shows. It's not Netflix.

4:00 pm

Soodle

We actually drove from ireland to Corfu, several times. With 3 small kids!! (Are we there yet became dirty words!) but we got 5 weeks of Corfu, so it was actually worth it!

4:00 pm

crosshair

i will delve deeper before jumping in

4:00 pm

jmcnrick

and i usually go through goodshop so a percentage of what i buy is kicked back to the Center where i used to work. . .

4:00 pm

crosshair

what was the driving time for you,soodles,from start to finish?

4:00 pm

stidmama

jmc, I don't know how to make the amazon thing work. I use my real name or my screen name (either should work) but I don't know how to search for someone in the amazon universe. NOT particularly user-friendly.

4:01 pm

Nef

I tried looking for you, stir. I couldn't figure it out.

4:02 pm

stidmama

Right now is not a great time for me to "think" anyway... Grant has been sick for five days now, and I just got home from teaching. *frazzled mama look*

4:02 pm

Nef

What's the matter with Grant?

4:02 pm

crosshair

poor frazzled((stidmama))

4:02 pm

lilliann

i must admit my hubby wanted to drive to corfu and we did see irish and english cars there but we thought perhaps they had holiday homes or lived there. we always said, that would be one place we would live.we were at the top of the island but always drove around the edges and up into the mountains where there were just goats.it was great

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

you use stidmama? I should be able to find your wish list then. . .

4:03 pm

stidmama

Virus, Nef -- we are ALL run-down and ripe for getting sick, but he is the one who has been in the petri dish of high school daily. He's not shaking it off like he normally would, but at least this afternoon he has some color back.

4:03 pm

lilliann

i hope grant get well soon stid

4:04 pm

stidmama

thanks lilliann -- I have been worried about him. I got REALLY worried when, two days in a row, he was okay with me saying NO to his girlfriend visiting!

4:04 pm

jmcnrick

Okay i apparently read a netflix ad on the prime streaming page. . . these people make me confusled all the time. . . but i can get dontown abby and other tv shows as well as videos so i will live with it . . .

4:05 pm

stidmama

I think corfu would be nice to visit... I would have to invest in sunscreen though!

4:05 pm

lilliann

that definitely isn't a good sign! i take it he wants to see her now?

4:05 pm

stidmama

I think he's going to want to soon, anyway! LOL

4:06 pm

Nef

sneding healing thoughts and prayers for Grant. (not normal for a boy to agree with his Mom about no visitor!)

4:06 pm

stidmama

thanks Nef -- how's the grandson doing? Did I see something about a bday party?

4:06 pm

Soodle

We drove about 4 hrs from Trim to Rosslare in Wexford, caught a ferry to the UK, landbridge across the UK to Dover, Channel Tunnel to France, then straight down through France, Switzerland, Germany, took in Luxembourg, into Italy, then caught a ferry from Venice, down the whole length og Italy, and we eventually arrived in Corfu. Four days later. We stayed for 5 weeks, then turned around, and did it all again in reverse!

4:07 pm

lilliann

well, you're his mam, you're always going to worry about him, whether he's healthy or not and at any age.that's what we mam's do :)

4:08 pm

Nef

stid, he turned 4 yesterday; and although his color and energy (and mischief) were back to normal; he still didn't eat much of any of his favorite foods; nor could he eat more than 2-3 bites of his cake.

4:08 pm

lilliann

viral infections aren't nice and we all take time to get over them depending on our own bodies. i'm sure he'll recover very soon stid and then be lip-locked to his girfriend :)

4:09 pm

MollyL

Freon is a brand name.

4:09 pm

jmcnrick

oh too bad nef. . . nothing sadder that being too sick to eat your own birthday cake. . .

4:09 pm

Nef

Alexis, I think it's a proper name

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

okay bbl. . . i have to go figure out a lobbying registration form. . .

4:10 pm

Alexis Elise

I just looked it up. It's such a commonly used word I never realized it's a brand name.

4:11 pm

lilliann

my husband did it in a lorry soodle, but that was to the mainland. he always said if we had the time we would drive and stop for about 3 weeks, like you did but we never got a chance.now i just like to fly to anywhere as it is alot quicker and better for me

4:11 pm

Nef

So; we're having my "adopted" daughter (our old neighbor from Iran) and her 2 kids over tomorrow for a sort of b'day party. I have a pinnate and we'll just let them giggle and play

4:11 pm

mm,just looking at amazon,see what it is all about.i forgot that is it wired in with kindle.i am assuming it only does kindle e-books and no others

4:12 pm

lilliann

Happy Birthday nef.i hope you have had a lovely day and enjoy tomorrow and i read that it was your grand son's birthday yesterday. a happy belated birthday to him too :)

4:12 pm

MollyL

Yes, but e-books wouldn't figure in to an Amazon Prime membership as there is no shipping involved when you order an e-book.

4:13 pm

crosshair

yup,just trying to get a feel of what it is all about here

4:14 pm

Nef

thank you lilli

4:14 pm

MollyL

It pays for itself if you do a lot of on line shopping. I think you can test drive it for free.

4:14 pm

hi peri, can you tell me what a pinning ceremony is and what farklempt means please

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, definitly, so glad you were there for her peri on a very important day!! Brings back memories for me, my pinning was 33 years ago...*sigh* . Glad there are youth coming up so that I can retire...

5:00 pm

Soodle

:-) And Hi Jilly.

5:00 pm

Pinning ceremony is actually graduation and they get a pin. Farklempt is a yiddish word for overcome with emotion.

5:01 pm

periwinkle

the ages of the students ranged from 19 to 60!! my niece is 36.

5:01 pm

5:39 pm

lilliann

does your hubby make breakfast every day liz?

5:40 pm

Lizlin

I love fresh coffee but agree taht the smell is even better than the taste.

5:40 pm

Lizlin

He does most of the cooking - there are times when we share it and other times when I cook. He shouldn't have complained that stir fry veg was not a meal, when we first went out!

5:42 pm

lbdawger

hi Liz! clue for the po8?

5:42 pm

lynxxx

My Australian is ike that, every meal has to be around meat or fish....never vegetables.

5:43 pm

hiya Lynxxx

5:43 pm

Lizlin

He def thought that, so he took over the main cooking and I put on weight!

5:43 pm

lilliann

lol, stir fry food is good however it comes.you're very lucky he can cook. saying that mine can too, he's just never here to do it.luckily enough i've taught the bairn well and she is good at soups,puddings and cakes

5:43 pm

lynxxx

po8 compound...what you do with a letter & **** in the hole!

5:44 pm

although it's late. we always have it on the monday, infact all our bank holidays are mostly on a monday and occasionly on a friday as in easter

6:00 pm

stidmama

hm. sounds like LBD has a serious case of the grumpies... *reaches for choclits*

6:01 pm

lilliann

but my parents live in france and they celebrate easter, ascenscion day etc on that day, whatever it is

*poof*

6:04 pm

lilliann

tc stid

6:06 pm

lilliann

i agree with lbd.we always get a weather forecast one night and the next day it isn't always as they say and what gets me is that they clump us together as in counties(here) but it could be sunny where i live and down the road in another village it could be raining or snowing.our county is uite a big one!

6:09 pm

lynxxx

Our weather people are very good now - a 5 day forecast can be pretty accurate - I understand the number of radar sites they have make it pretty accurate - will be even better when they get more sites.

6:10 pm

Nef

Our weathermen have been telling us for over a month that "this is our Last snow of the season." Humph!!! We've had about 6 "Last snows" so far.

6:12 pm

lilliann

we do get 5 day forecasts here aswell lynn, a few weeks ago we were going to be in for so much snow so we bought things to deal with it and we hardly had any and that forecast even went to the village i live in.so now, i take what they say with a pinch of salt and look out of my window and go from there

6:13 pm

jaxx7

Ascension day celebrates the day when Christ ascended into heaven, lillian

6:15 pm

lilliann

i know it can change quickly but then they shouldn't give us 5 day weather forecasts.i know it must be hard for these people as our weather has changed dramatically over the years but we look to these people to know what they are doing and saying

6:15 pm

lynxxx

ascension = re6.18 & 7.28

6:15 pm

MollyL

TO, interesting video you posted in your profile.

6:16 pm

Nef

I think she was saying that they celebrate on whatever day of the week it is; jaxx7; not that she didn't know what ascension is

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly, i though i removed all the vids...let me look at myself :)

6:17 pm

VYCanisMajoris

except ascension day, and every other christian doctrine pertaining to jesus, actually pertains to the sun

6:18 pm

VYCanisMajoris

for he who was buried for three days (beneath the horizon on december 22 23 and 24th) rose again on december 25th bringing the world peace and is thus humankind's savior

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, dinner bell ringing, off I go!

6:18 pm

lilliann

ty jax, i know what ascension day is, i was just saying whatever day it happens upon in france is the day they celebrate it :)

6:18 pm

VYCanisMajoris

as it started rising again back into the northern hemisphere

6:19 pm

VYCanisMajoris

its useful to know what you're actually celebrating.. we seem to celebrate days without knowing what they actually are

6:19 pm

VYCanisMajoris

that to me is insanity

6:19 pm

VYCanisMajoris

that to me is insanity

6:19 pm

Nef

thanks for the 6 and 7, lynxxx! :-)

6:19 pm

lynxxx

wow - that happened in December?!

6:20 pm

MollyL

I'm pretty well aware of the origins of all the days, rites and celebrations that I participate in.

6:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

every year

6:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

did you know that jesus is actually the sun? hence the halo or illumination behind every portrait of him?

6:21 pm

lilliann

you're quite right magoris. i don't celebrate alot of them, they just happen to be bank holidays to me:)

6:21 pm

lynxxx

seems like Christians just tagged onto pagan etc celebrations

6:21 pm

MollyL

That's one interpretation.

6:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, THAT video. Have you seen it, lyn? Nef? Lil?

6:22 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i wouldn't trust the zeitgeist video, because it uses a lot of rhetoric to get the message across. but the premise is solid

6:22 pm

Nef

I haven't seen it, TO; but I'm trying to watch it in-between words right now

6:23 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i almost want to say that its not an interpretation molly, it coincides too much to be a coincidence

6:24 pm

lilliann

no TO.what video?

6:25 pm

Lizlin

Hi again :)

6:25 pm

lilliann

wb liz :)

6:27 pm

VY, have you caught up with welki yet?

6:27 pm

MollyL

Each person's interpretation of their spirituality is based on their own perception.

6:27 pm

VYCanisMajoris

no

6:27 pm

VYCanisMajoris

but molly, this reflects reality turned into a story for the masses to beleive

6:28 pm

VYCanisMajoris

okay, going to go make something for dinner. good luck everyone on the grid.

there is the SWEETEST little fawn in my yard right now....just charming

6:35 pm

lilliann

can you get a photo trif?

6:35 pm

Lizlin

Aw cute - would love to see that :)

6:36 pm

lilliann

me too liz

6:36 pm

Nef

VY, I don't think it's nice to challenge another person's core beliefs. Everyone here has their own views and beliefs about religion (or lack of it); politics and religion are 2 subjects not really suitable (to me, anyway) to this chat room. Most people come to chat because of their love of this game and grow to be friends here; we all enjoy it and have common bonds. It's okay to have differing opinions; don't try to "convert" others to your way of thinking

6:36 pm

Nef

hi Trifi

6:36 pm

Trifioso

its too dusky out to get a good photo. It's so freaking cute....gamboling about, just loving life

6:37 pm

Lizlin

Well said, Nef :)

6:37 pm

lilliann

i just get other peoples' cats, bats, owls and cooing doves at 5am :)

6:37 pm

Jacula

I second what Lizlin said! Wells aid, Nef.... and hello everyone. x

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi dear jacs!

6:38 pm

Jacula

Well said, not 'wells aid'! Typing fingers must be tired.

6:38 pm

Jacula

Hi TO.x

6:38 pm

VYCanisMajoris

but truth is truth nef. I'm not trying to convert, just injecting truth in the vast field of confusion. nobody can explain why they believe what they do, they were just told to. start asking what the heck its all about and you'll draw the same conclusions as every scientist without even being told

6:38 pm

lilliann

i agree nef. i actually typed out majority of what you said nef but then deleted it as people were ignoring it so i thougt i should :)

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

x to you!

6:38 pm

lilliann

hi jacs :)

6:39 pm

Jacula

Hi lil. Just looking for my final word.

6:39 pm

MollyL

I'm glad Nef said something. It gets tedious here the way people "ignore the elephant in the room".

6:39 pm

Lizlin

Hi jac and to :)

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey liz.

6:39 pm

jessmom

the only truth I am looking for is the 15 words I can't find

6:39 pm

VYCanisMajoris

ignorance is what is perpetuating the lack of progression in this world

6:39 pm

Nef

VY, that's YOUR opinion. Please remember that.

6:40 pm

Jacula

FIREWORKS! :-)

6:40 pm

VYCanisMajoris

makes me so upset that people as friendly as you guys are that ignorant. nef, its more than an opinion, its backed by evidence

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

Yay!

6:40 pm

MollyL

Belief and faith have little to do with scientific facts.

6:40 pm

Trifioso

huzzah for jacula!

6:40 pm

Lizlin

There are forums for those discussions and most poeple don't think this is one of those.

6:40 pm

Lizlin

Congrats, Jac :)

6:40 pm

VYCanisMajoris

therefore its likely to be wrong

6:41 pm

lilliann

i deleted what i said as if you reply, these people just keep going on so i thought better of it.i have my own beliefs, i don't need to be preached upon

6:41 pm

Jacula

VY - I think that point is that this is NOT the place to discuss it. Some of us may agree with you and some of us may not, but Babblechog isn't the place for it.

6:41 pm

VYCanisMajoris

but why do you believe what you do?

6:41 pm

jessmom

how did a mention of a bank holiday lead to this crap? I just want to find words. It is what I'm here for.

6:41 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any help with the grid?

6:42 pm

Lizlin

Tons of help, please!!!!!

6:42 pm

Trifioso

I just got here jacula...haven't even hit nbt yet, and having a bugger of a time getting there. boooo

6:42 pm

Nef

VY; please. We like to welcome Newbies; and it take a lot of nerve to call this group ignorant.

6:42 pm

Uneaixoise

clues for 8's please?

6:42 pm

jessmom

clue for the ir8 jac, I'm blind and annoyed now

6:42 pm

thanks!

VYCanisMajoris

so i'll just cater to the emotions--as opposed to truth; again--and say that you are all not ignorant even tho you do not provide reasoning for subjective belief in the face of scientific evidence

6:43 pm

Lizlin

Christmas saint?

6:43 pm

bookwomen

e+anger+opposite of mean-last letter

6:43 pm

MollyL

Jolly Old Saint .......

6:43 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i'll hush--as every philosopher was told to 2000 years ago

6:44 pm

Lizlin

I tried what I thought might be the saint but it didn't work!

6:44 pm

Lizlin

Ah! Got it! Thanks

6:44 pm

Jacula

Christmas saint, Lizlin - same name as the devil.

Nef

WTG, Jacula on the FW!!!! YAY!!!

6:46 pm

Lizlin

Pleasantville! Love it!

6:46 pm

MollyL

I'll bet there are a lot of discussion forums out there that deal with reasoning, subjective belief and scientific evidence - but this is not one of them.

6:46 pm

Lizlin

Which is what I also said - great minds!

6:46 pm

lilliann

6:48 pm

Nef

thanks, Jac.

6:48 pm

Jacula

Speaking of 're' words and someone who hated them so much I made her an icon pic stating that, has anyone seen 'exWren' lately?

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

gee, no.

6:49 pm

lilliann

6:49 pm

Jacula

I hope she's okay. She was getting on a bit.

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Can we nab some birthday cake from somewhere?

6:52 pm

Jacula

How many birthday bumps do we need to give you, Nef?

6:52 pm

Lizlin

21 of course!

6:52 pm

MollyL

<---Sings like an Angel

6:52 pm

Jacula

I've got some cakes in the tin in the kitchen. *Hands them out.*

6:52 pm

lilliann

6:53 pm

lilliann

hi smores :)

6:53 pm

Jacula

Molly - you'll have to give us proof on Youtube. lol

6:53 pm

MollyL

What are your banks holidaying about now?

6:53 pm

Jacula

lil - Glad you're all okay. x

6:54 pm

Jacula

Molly - goodness knows, since we're in a recession.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

May Day holiday!

6:54 pm

MollyL

Posting YouTube videos of one's self is for bigger egos than mine.

6:54 pm

lilliann

it'll be may day!

6:54 pm

smores

lol np nef...gotta love autocorrect :)

6:55 pm

Jacula

The holiday is really the May Day holiday (old pagan festival, but let's not go there again!) It should be 1st May but is put to nearest convenient weekend these days.

6:55 pm

lilliann

although may day was on wednesday

6:55 pm

Jacula

Molly - lol re Youtube.

6:55 pm

Nef

"bumps?" that doesn't sound good; especially at my age! I'm a "woman of a certain age;" which means we don't mention numbers! ;-) Besides; you guys know that I'm sort of reti**d

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Hi smores :)

6:55 pm

lilliann

it's always on a monday

6:55 pm

MollyL

Oh you all had me going about May Day, which is Beltane for me and has already passed.

6:56 pm

Jacula

Molly - yes, Beltane.

6:56 pm

MollyL

Hahahahaha....Nef retired....hahahahaha!

6:56 pm

Jacula

Nef - we'll give you 21 virtual and very gentle 'bumps' then. x

6:56 pm

lilliann

have you never had the bumps nef? it's when people get your arms and legfs and throw you in the air

6:56 pm

Nef

thanks for the cake, Jac <wiping crumbs of face and chest>

6:57 pm

periwinkle

Happy Birthday,Nef!!

6:58 pm

Jacula

Lil - a good description, but they don't actually let go of you (unless your childhood friends were really cruel). lol

6:58 pm

smores

Places a chocolate cake with nice thick ganache icing on sideboard....along with an ice pack for your bumps...lol

6:58 pm

Jacula

Hi peri.

6:58 pm

lilliann

if you get the bumps, you'll be wiping crumbs from all over for weeks nef :)

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Is giving the bumps just a UK thing?

6:58 pm

MollyL

That's pretty cool. Our banks don't close for Pagan festival days.

6:59 pm

Jacula

Lizlin - re 'the bumps' - maybe it is. Never thought about it before.

6:59 pm

Nef

OMG, lilli! NO!!! We always got spankings , a smack on the butt for every year.

6:59 pm

MollyL

Don't trust Smores ganache. It doesn't have sugar or dairy in it. : P

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Me neither - til just now

6:59 pm

periwinkle

Hi, Jac

6:59 pm

Jacula

Molly - that made me laugh. I like that idea of banks closing for Pagan festivals. :-)

6:59 pm

lilliann

i never said they let go but i never said they keep hold.lol when you ahve the bumps they always keep hold of limbs :)

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Smores recipes look good

6:59 pm

smores

lol...it's the real thing Molly :)

6:59 pm

Jacula

Spankings? Now that IS odd. *chuckles*

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Spankings - chuckles with Jac :)

7:00 pm

MollyL

Which recipe? She has a whole cookbook in her profile.
: D

7:00 pm

Nef

Molly! I do keep trying but it gets Boring!

7:00 pm

lilliann

i think i prefer the bumps to spankings :)

7:00 pm

7:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was looking for 1234 brownie. i even bought ice cream for it

7:03 pm

Jacula

I was just wondering about birthday bumps and looked it up. The paragraph entitled 'Punches' deals with the subject.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki\n/Birthday_customs_and_celebrations

7:03 pm

MollyL

The bumps sound like a great way to dislocate limbs.
: O

7:03 pm

Jacula

Hi Bichon.

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

do i have to melt the butter?

7:03 pm

MollyL

Jac broke the chat box! Jac broke the chat box!

7:03 pm

Jacula

Molly - that's why they're usually only given to children and not heavier adults.

7:03 pm

smores

haha...enjoy TO

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

jacs broke the chog! jacs broke the chog!

7:04 pm

Why, has it gone wide or something? Looks okay to me.

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

serious question re butter.

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, it has
gone wide" lol i love the english language

7:04 pm

lilliann

7:04 pm

smores

I usually do TO...will work if just soft though

7:04 pm

lilliann

it did it earlier

7:04 pm

Jacula

peri - en6 and verb form 7 means to enslave.

7:04 pm

MollyL

Okay that is weird. Why does posting regular
urls blow the chat width for some and not others?

7:05 pm

Lizlin

te 6 / 7 the first please?

7:05 pm

periwinkle

ty Jacula

7:05 pm

lilliann

i hate it when it does this

7:05 pm

Jacula

Oops if it has gone wide and sorry to those I've mucked up. I should've done a tinyurl.

7:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

was beyong my horizon, molly. i think it went too wide

7:05 pm

bichon

have to do with the number after nine, the bank note

7:05 pm

lilliann

i don't have it yet liz, sorry

7:06 pm

Jacula

liz - te6 and plural 7 - British term for Â£10.

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

make us more cake and we'll forgive and forget

7:06 pm

Lizlin

thanks bichon. I'd looked for that and convinced myself it wasn't there! Should've just tried it!!!

7:06 pm

lilliann

7:06 pm

lilliann

7:07 pm

Lizlin

I've got it now, lilli :)

7:07 pm

Trifioso

good clue liliann!

7:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey trif

7:07 pm

Jacula

I'd delete the offending post if I could but we still don't have an edit/delete facility on here. The problem should resolve after a number of posts.

7:07 pm

lilliann

well as long as there is wine and crisps in the pb, i'll be fine :)

7:07 pm

Trifioso

hey TO!

7:08 pm

lilliann

i wish we did have a delete post on here

7:08 pm

MollyL

I wish we had an IGNORE button.

7:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

well keep it short and snappy for a while then! :O

7:08 pm

lilliann

i like to help :)

7:08 pm

Lizlin

I'm with you for the delete button!

7:08 pm

Jacula

I think we were supposed to get all of those things on the new-style Babble promised a couple of years ago, but it never happened in the end.

7:09 pm

smores

lol..and the ignore

7:09 pm

Jacula

I think big urls or overlarge photos cause the problem.

7:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

not co4 effective, i would think, at this pt

7:10 pm

lilliann

it's like 'give us a clue now' as in try and guess what people are saying.oh great now the chat has gone even wider!! :)

7:10 pm

MollyL

In order to have upgrades like that on a regular
basis, a board has to have yearly membership fees.
Otherwise, the board owner would go into debt.

7:11 pm

lilliann

i would like to be able to delete or edit, even after i've said something

7:11 pm

Nef

for a short while all of the male and female symbols disappeared for me. Did anyone else have that happen besides me?

7:11 pm

Jacula

How's it got wider? It's not changed for me at all.

7:11 pm

Lizlin

Back to normal now!

7:11 pm

bichon

male and female symbols? I don't recall that

7:12 pm

Nef

now may chat is normals width and in looks

7:12 pm

Jacula

Nef - nope.

7:12 pm

MollyL

We just ran the long url off the board. Tiny url from now on please.

7:12 pm

lilliann

it's back to normal now jac, but it went to the left aswell for me as in wideness

7:12 pm

Nef

bichon, the pink and purple "purses"

7:12 pm

Jacula

*Hangs head in shame at not doing tinyurl because she really should know better.*

7:13 pm

lilliann

yay, we are back to normal. doing a dance....

7:13 pm

Nef

(next to the flags)

7:13 pm

MollyL

There are several glitchy things that happen here since the upgrade to the new server. Like, every morning at 6AM EST, the board goes off line for three minutes.

7:13 pm

bichon

When were those. I've been here about 5 or 6 years

7:14 pm

smores

"joins lilli in dance"

7:14 pm

MollyL

When were what, Bich?

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

those are tbs in the recipe.nt tsps, smores?

7:14 pm

Jacula

Bichon - they've been here for years. Those of us that were on line when Dr_G put them on called them 'handbags' or 'purses' because we didn't at first see that they were supposed to be pink, blue or grey people.

7:15 pm

lilliann

i'm enjoying our dance smores, i'm twirling you at the moment :0

7:15 pm

smores

yes TO

7:15 pm

Nef

between your name and your countries' flag, there is a symbol there. It's the head and shoulders of a person; and denotes the sex (although there are some grey ones too

7:15 pm

bichon

The male/female symbols. Ive been here going on 7 years

7:15 pm

MollyL

They look like winter hats to me.

7:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

you mean the pocketbooks? :)

7:15 pm

bichon

I have *never* seen them. What's missing here?

7:15 pm

Jacula

Bobble hats, Molly. Yes, I can see that too.

7:15 pm

smores

weeeee....

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks smore, off to kitchen i go

7:16 pm

Trifioso

my mum is here with me tonight, and we are watching the red sox game, and she is CRACKING ME UP. Firstly, she insists on saying, "ugh, they are playing TexASS" and then giggling like a schoolgirl.

7:16 pm

Lizlin

I've only ever seen them as male /female symbols but now I see hats!

7:16 pm

MollyL

Bich, you don't see a pink symbol between your name and your flag?

7:16 pm

Jacula

bichon - you've got a pink one.

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, definitely pocketbooks yep.

7:16 pm

bichon

I never noticed that they were different colors. And some people don't have them

7:16 pm

Trifioso

secondly, the game has been on for maybe ten minutes, and she is complaining that they haven't done ANY thing yet.

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol trif

7:16 pm

Trifioso

when my oldest daughter was little, she asked me what the purses next to our names meant....

7:16 pm

Jacula

Trif - that's mums for you!

7:17 pm

Nef

LOL, Trifi!!

7:17 pm

Trifioso

I never noticed they looked like little purses, but to a little girl, what doesn't?

7:17 pm

Jacula

:-)

7:17 pm

smores

lol...always saw them as head and shoulders until little purses / hats were mentioned a while back

7:17 pm

MollyL

I don't know how you don't get one. Not choosing male or female in your account settings usually gives you a grey one (androgenous)

7:18 pm

lilliann

hang on a minute, are people talking about the shoulders and head next to the flags?

7:18 pm

Trifioso

yes

7:19 pm

MollyL

Yes, the head and shoulders, purse, hat things.
: D

7:19 pm

lilliann

if so, what has that got to do with a purse, it looks like the top half of a person to me anyway :) saying that, it's like the butterfly splats on a page that you have to say that they look like something

7:20 pm

lilliann

we all have different views :)

7:20 pm

MollyL

<---Wishes she had used "butterfly splats" in her term paper on Rorscharch.

7:20 pm

smores

that what makes things interesting :)

7:20 pm

Lizlin

Purse being US speak for handbag!

7:21 pm

lilliann

i meant the ink splats that look like butterflies or whatever

7:21 pm

bichon

funny, now that you mention it, it could look like a purse

7:21 pm

Trifioso

"butterfly splats" is going on my list of potential punk rock band names

7:21 pm

bichon

I call it a pocketbook, but less often purse

7:21 pm

lilliann

Rorscharch?

7:21 pm

MollyL

Oh Lord, here we go. Purse, pocketbook, handbag, clutch.

7:22 pm

smores

haha...nice Trif....I like it :)

7:22 pm

MollyL

<---Wants to be informed when Trif joins a punk rock band.

7:22 pm

lilliann

actually now people have said purses and hats, i now see it :)

7:22 pm

Jacula

Punk rock band name. Yes, lol.

7:23 pm

bichon

Molly, great photo in your profile

7:23 pm

MollyL

Rorschach (I typoed) is the test you were referring to with the ink blots.

7:23 pm

Jacula

Lil - butterfly splats? I really don't see that.

7:23 pm

Trifioso

oh, and here's something fun, for those who might enjoy it: my friend Steven and his daughter invented a BRILLIANT car game: Whenever you see an Escape car, you have to be the first to yell "TARDIS" - as Escapes look small, but are bigger on the inside

7:23 pm

lilliann

glad i could help with a punk rock band name :)

7:23 pm

rururocks

is it safe to enter the chat/

7:23 pm

smores

BRB

7:23 pm

Jacula

Um - what's an Escape car?

7:23 pm

Trifioso

always for you, ruru dear

7:24 pm

Lizlin

Hi Ru :)

7:24 pm

MollyL

People are really gaga over this Dr. Who stuff.

7:24 pm

Lizlin

As jac said, what's an Escape car?

7:24 pm

Trifioso

its a Ford model, jacula

7:24 pm

lilliann

ofcourse it is ru, if you have a handbag, bobble hat and can see the meaning in ink splats :)

7:24 pm

lilliann

what's an escape car?

7:25 pm

Trifioso

see below

7:25 pm

Lizlin

A new car - being launched / was launched as Ford Kuga in UK - just googled it!

7:25 pm

lilliann

aye, i've just seen it trif.chat went slow

7:26 pm

lilliann

never heard of it liz, will have to google

7:26 pm

Nef

slow??? I can't keep up anymore!

7:26 pm

Lizlin

Finally killed the c's!

7:26 pm

MollyL

Kuga? Sounds like how they say cougar in Boston.

7:26 pm

Jacula

Ah! I know what it is now. Calling a car an escape car could make it sound like something you could excape to the country in but, to me, sounds like something set up to have an accident to prove you can escape from it easily. Or is that just me??

7:27 pm

Trifioso

okay, so - see a Kuga, yell TARDIS

7:27 pm

Lizlin

Dunno, Molly. Just googled and looked for UK equivalent to Ford Escape

7:28 pm

lilliann

it's just basically a big saloon car, nowt special

7:28 pm

Jacula

To be honest, Trif, most of today's cars all look the same to me. They don't have the indivduality and personality that cars had up to the late 1970s.

7:28 pm

MollyL

A saloon car? Does that come with dancing girls and guys with guns?

7:29 pm

MollyL

Oh AMEN Jac. They all look the same to me too.

7:29 pm

Jacula

Molly - a saloon car is a basic family car here in Uk with no hatchback etc.

7:29 pm

lilliann

it's trying to be a sporty 4x4 come people carrier and it none of them

7:30 pm

MollyL

Car design was ruined by aerodynamics.

7:30 pm

Jacula

The Ford Kuga/Escape is apparently and SUV/4-wheel drive off road type big gas-guzzling car that no one really needs to drive unless they live in the back of beyond.

7:30 pm

lilliann

i think it is ugly

7:30 pm

Jacula

Excuse lack of punctuation and bad typing. I hate this sort of car.

7:31 pm

Jacula

Molly - I agree. CAD design has removed all originality.

7:31 pm

Trifioso

amuse yourselves by yelling whenever you see one :)

7:32 pm

lilliann

i don't think we'll be seeing many on the road, well i hope not trif

7:32 pm

Jacula

Trif - Nah! I'd rather yell Tardis when I do actually see a blue police phone box, like I did in Scotland a few months ago.

7:32 pm

Trifioso

well, you do have the advantage on me there, jacula

7:33 pm

MollyL

I only yell when I see one of those stupid looking smart cars. I keep thinking someone let their kids out of the back yard and onto the street in their kiddie car.

7:34 pm

lilliann

apparently this ugly car is nearly Â£21,000 to buy

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my, i am watching an old movie i've never seen before - 1933 alice in wonderland. what a riot!

7:34 pm

lilliann

i've seent he same police/tardis as you jac in edinburgh?

7:35 pm

Trifioso

can someone help me out with the i in the third column, second row?

7:35 pm

Jacula

Yep - in Edinburgh, Lil. I took a photo.

7:35 pm

lilliann

i HATE the smart cars.you couldn't even get a shopping bag in it

7:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

angers

7:36 pm

Trifioso

that is from the other i to

7:36 pm

MollyL

If I want a go cart, I'll buy a go cart.

7:36 pm

lilliann

7:36 pm

Lizlin

7:38 pm

Jacula

7:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:40 pm

Jacula

TO - is that a line from a song?

7:40 pm

lilliann

no we were there after the olypics and para olympics.it was last september i think and it chucked it down and chris hoy waved and a lady next to me shouted to him 'well done@ and he said thanks. the bairn and i went up to see hubby as we hadn't seen him for 8/9 weeks

7:40 pm

Jacula

bichon - en6 and 7 = to enslave.

7:40 pm

Trifioso

finally, nbt....129 words later!

7:40 pm

lilliann

we were just on the street jac

7:40 pm

MollyL

I thought he was an old man

7:41 pm

Jacula

We were just passing through, lil.

72 Temple Owl

yes, neil young's don't let it get you down. molly is correct

7:41 pm

bichon

tyvm Jacula

7:42 pm

lilliann

hubby doesn't drive them anymore, he's self employed so will if needed but at the moment drives coaches and has a coach that you won't see many of in the uk

7:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually he may have been both

7:42 pm

Jacula

Molly - Chris Hoy old? He's only 37.

7:42 pm

lilliann

but it's not his, the guy he sub contracts to

7:42 pm

MollyL

A song which everyone and their brother has covered, including Annie Lennox. : O

7:42 pm

lilliann

chris hoy has now retired

7:43 pm

lilliann

i love annie lennox

7:43 pm

MollyL

No, the man in the song, who is lying by the side of the road.

7:43 pm

Jacula

He has retired from his sport, lil, but he's not old.

7:43 pm

Jacula

Oh, yes, re the Neil Young song. I knew it rang a bell.

7:44 pm

Jacula

Lil - I love Annie Lennox, too.

7:44 pm

lilliann

he's definitely not old jac. i only knew that he'd retired because i watched 'question of sport'

7:44 pm

Jacula

Lil - what's different about your hubby's coach?

7:44 pm

lilliann

i liked it when she was part of the eurythemics

7:45 pm

Jacula

Lil - did you see Annie L's 'Who Do You Think You Are?' programme? It was very interesting.

7:45 pm

lilliann

hang on and i will get an url or whatever it is for it.i'm not good with computors, plus i can't remember the name of the coach

7:45 pm

lilliann

no, i missed that

7:45 pm

Lizlin

It was a really good one, Jac. I agree.

7:46 pm

Jacula

Lil - mind you use tinyurl before posting!! :-)

7:46 pm

MollyL

Wait a minute, now it's a coach? What happened to lorry? : P

7:47 pm

MollyL

*Gets out UK to American Dictionary*

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

let me add to the madness by saying that lewis carroll must have dropped acid

7:47 pm

Jacula

Lizlin - I like most of the programmes in that series. Obviously, they only follow the stories they know will be interesting but I think 'ordinary people's' stories are also interesting. Doubt there'll ever be a TV series about them though.

7:48 pm

MollyL

Opium TO, he took it for his "migraines"

7:48 pm

Lizlin

I like the series,w hen they go back as far as they can but less so when the focus is just on one ancestor.

7:48 pm

Jacula

TO - Lewis Carroll, in common with many other authors of the time, was an opium addict.

7:48 pm

Lizlin

I don't think that the Aussie series is so good.

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

he was DEFINITELY on SOMETHING. as was the director of this movie.

7:49 pm

Jacula

Molly - a coach is like a bus, maybe you would call it a tour bus?

7:49 pm

Jacula

Liz - haven't seen thre Aussie version.

7:50 pm

Lizlin

I wouldn't bother!

7:50 pm

MollyL

I've always thought the Alice In Wonderland stories were weird.

7:50 pm

Jacula

The US version is quite good, Liz.

7:51 pm

Lizlin

Now I haven't seen that one - though there have been a couple of Americans on the UK series - especially liked Jerry Springer.

7:51 pm

lilliann

jac, put in starliner coaches in the search engine and you'll get it

7:52 pm

Jacula

I've seen them go past, lil. Will check it out now.

7:53 pm

lilliann

there aren't many in this country and hubby says people stand in the road to look and take photos of and other drivers want to get on it and look

7:53 pm

Jacula

Â£30,000 for the basic chassis, lil. Still not quite as much as my ex-hub charges for fire engines.

7:55 pm

Jacula

Does anyone need any more clues, btw?

7:55 pm

MollyL

Nope

7:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow jacs, that is one impressice coach! hoa many does it seat, and where do they fit a kitchen?

7:56 pm

Lizlin

OK here thanks :)

7:56 pm

lilliann

my hubby doesn't pay for it, he just drives it,but the guy he drives it for is from scotland and he has 2 and they are both have trafalgar on the side of them and are in white

7:56 pm

flosey

hello again, need a clue for fe6 please?

7:56 pm

lilliann

not at the moment thanks jac

7:57 pm

Jacula

Hi flosey - fe6 and plural 7 is a North African fox.

7:57 pm

Lizlin

With very large ears!

7:57 pm

flosey

thanks Jacula

7:57 pm

Jacula

lol, Liz.

7:58 pm

lilliann

i think it is 50 TO and they have a mini kitchen with a microwave and toilet

7:58 pm

Jacula

y/w, flosey.

7:58 pm

MollyL

Those are some weird looking foxes.

7:58 pm

Jacula

lil - I know he doesn't pay for the vehicle. lol

7:59 pm

periwinkle

help with last po7 pls

7:59 pm

flosey

po6/33, please?

7:59 pm

MollyL

And all this time I though L's husband was riding people around in a real, honest to God coach. Ha!

7:59 pm

MollyL

As in horse driven.

7:59 pm

lilliann

i saw it last week from the outside but didn't get a chance to see it on the inside as too many people on it

8:00 pm

periwinkle

NM

8:00 pm

Jacula

Peri has 'done a peri' again! ROFLOL

8:01 pm

periwinkle

I am consistent

8:01 pm

lilliann

lol molly. i think any horse having to drive my husband would go on strike!lol

8:01 pm

Jacula

Flosey - po6/33 and plural 7 sounds like sulky little girls and how their mouths droop down and bottom lip juts out.

8:01 pm

lilliann

i managed to see him for an hour, actually it was this week.my f.i.l and i went for lunch and met him at a pub driving through to york

8:02 pm

MollyL

Seriously, I thought he was taking people around on scenic tours in a horse driven carriage. Hilarious.

8:02 pm

Jacula

peri - You are that.

8:02 pm

flosey

thanks again Jacula

8:02 pm

lilliann

really molly? lmao

8:03 pm

Jacula

flosey - y/w. Molly - really am 'lol'ing now.

8:03 pm

lilliann

ty jac

8:04 pm

MollyL

Hereabouts, coach does not equal bus.

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

motorcoach?

8:04 pm

lilliann

he doesn't drive a bus, it's a coach, there is a difference here aswell

8:04 pm

MollyL

I'm still trying to figure out how family cars got labeled saloon cars. : D

8:05 pm

lilliann

a bus goes around towns and villages picking up people

8:05 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks! Always happy to find a nice simple group of words at the end, which I've just missed!

8:05 pm

Jacula

It's all so confusing, isn't it? Let's all smoke opium so we don't care. (Only kidding!)

8:05 pm

Jacula

Well done on the *~*~*, Liz.

8:06 pm

lilliann

a coach looks different and it takes people on day trips and holidays and has a toilet normally.buses don't and you pay to go on a bus

8:06 pm

MollyL

Of course if you do a Google image search on Coach, all you get are purses/handbags/pocketbooks/clutches.

8:06 pm

lilliann

wtg liz!! :)

8:06 pm

MollyL

We have buses here, and bus lines that have bathrooms on them.

8:06 pm

Lizlin

ty - off out into the sun. Thanks for some fun chat this morning. Enjoy your evenings / nights :)

8:07 pm

Jacula

Really Molly? I'd have thought you'd have got hard-face men and women ready to make you exercise until you dropped dead.

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

a car with a bar...now that's an invention

8:07 pm

Jacula

'Bye Liz. Have fun.x

8:07 pm

lilliann

bye liz, enjoy the suna nd tc

8:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

no jacs, t hose are trainers

8:08 pm

Jacula

TO - all the stretch limos here in UK have an inbuilt min-bar.

8:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

what are trainers in the UK?

8:09 pm

MollyL

Did anyone catch the bit in the movie Fallen where John Goodman had a beer bottle opener mounted to his dashboard? That made me laugh.

8:09 pm

lilliann

they can be running shoes TO

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. that is one intense movie.

8:09 pm

Jacula

TO - trainers can be people who coach you in the gym or for a sport, but the term is most frequently used for sport shoes.

8:09 pm

lilliann

or people who train others to do sport

8:10 pm

MollyL

It is an intense movie. I didn't realize how intense until I started watching it and I wasn't in the mood for another "drunk story".

8:10 pm

Jacula

I LOVE Babble - it's the best thing ever for sorting out all these differences of language amongst 'English speaking people'.

8:10 pm

MollyL

But of course, I kept watching because it was Denzel.

8:11 pm

Jacula

No, not seen 'Fallen'.

8:11 pm

lilliann

and there are definitely loads of differences jac

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

donald sutherland is one spooky dude.

8:12 pm

MollyL

I'm still not over Fanny : O

8:12 pm

lilliann

lol molly :)

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh, i don't know that one.

8:12 pm

Jacula

There ARE, lil. But the internet gives us the chance to actually ask, share, laugh and exchange. That's brilliant.

8:12 pm

MollyL

Oy, I meant Flight, not Fallen.

8:12 pm

lilliann

i don't know how you remember all of this molly

8:13 pm

MollyL

TO, apparently in the UK, Fanny means women's genitals.

8:13 pm

lilliann

oh i agree, i just don't understand that we are all suppose to speak english and yet we have so many words that have different meanings and spelt differently

8:14 pm

Jacula

Molly - fanny means female sexual bits here, not bum/ass/arse like it does in US.

8:14 pm

MollyL

So if you ever visit there, do NOT refer to giving someone a pat on the fanny (to us it means butt)

8:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, you mean woman bits? do women have bits or do only men have bits???

8:14 pm

lilliann

molly knows what it means jac, i told her a while back on here and she's never forgotten

8:14 pm

MollyL

Jac, I think we are having a 7 second delay.

8:15 pm

lilliann

we call them bits here TO

8:15 pm

rururocks

*looks down at Bits*

8:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think bits is the funniest

8:15 pm

lilliann

you don't have a fanny ru! :)

8:15 pm

Jacula

Misunderstandings begin wars, which is why we should all take advantage of the opportunities afforded here to gain understanding. (Other than people trying to bludgeon their ideas onto us, of course.)

8:15 pm

MollyL

I bet men like the term bits as much as they like the word premature.

8:16 pm

lilliann

we don't call them bits so much now but years ago we did as we always have to be correct being english you know!! :)

8:17 pm

lilliann

we don't call men's bits,i nearly said what we do, but i don't want to lower the tone

8:18 pm

Jacula

I'm tempted to post a link to a video of a UK comedian, Les Dawson doing a sketch of women talking about 'women's stuff' using nods and winks and half-said words. But I don't want to make the chog go wide again.

8:18 pm

MollyL

<---Wants a saloon car

8:18 pm

lilliann

aye, never say pat on the fanny here, you'll get slapped :)

8:18 pm

Jacula

LOL, lil. 'Tis true!

8:20 pm

MollyL

Swear to God, if I ever visit the UK I am going to become a selective mute.

8:20 pm

Jacula

Molly - believe me you do not want a boring car with no all-singing and dancing stuff included. It's a car that will seat a family of 4 and their possible luggage for a holiday you can drive to in no more than 4 hours.

8:20 pm

lilliann

you molly...mmm, like pigs fly :)

8:21 pm

Jacula

*Is tempted to invite Molly to visit*

8:21 pm

lilliann

i would love her to visit jac, especially up here, she wouldn't understand anyone :)

8:21 pm

MollyL

I have this great saloon girl costume, complete with fish net hose. I need a saloon car to go with. : D

8:22 pm

periwinkle

and where do you where that, Molls?

8:22 pm

lilliann

and you would get away with saying alot up here, as long as you drink and have a good time

8:22 pm

Jacula

I've got a great series of photos of me in that kind of get-up, Molly. Taken at a brithday party back in the 1980s.

8:22 pm

periwinkle

help with first se6/18 pls.

8:22 pm

lilliann

it wouldn't go with the car molly

8:23 pm

Jacula

Lil - We'll come and stay nearby and visit when you have Molly to stay. It would be fun.

8:23 pm

lilliann

i want to see a picture of molly wearing it :)

8:23 pm

MollyL

Oh but my saloon car is going to have swinging wooden doors, a bar and a honky tonk piano. : D

8:24 pm

lilliann

both the first se6's have double cons peri

8:24 pm

lilliann

it would jac

8:24 pm

periwinkle

so they do, ty lil

8:25 pm

lilliann

you wouldn't get all that in a saloon car molly :D

8:25 pm

Jacula

If Molly wants wood on her saloon car doors, I guess she needs an old 'half-timbered' car like a Morris Traveller or a Mini Traveller.

8:25 pm

lilliann

would they fit?

8:25 pm

lilliann

i remember morris minors

8:26 pm

lilliann

yw peri

8:27 pm

Jacula

peri - the first se6 ends with what you catch fish in and sounds like US government thing. 2nd se6 has a different last vowel and sounds like thr US southern version of the word.

8:27 pm

periwinkle

I have them, ty Jac

8:27 pm

Jacula

y/w, Peri.xx

8:27 pm

periwinkle

Jacula, you are really good at slingo. You have beat me at every game so far

8:28 pm

MollyL

Yeah well here they were just called Woodies, but now we are opening another kettle of fish.

8:28 pm

Jacula

sorry about that, peri!

8:28 pm

rururocks

isn't it a british saying keep a stiff upper lip?

8:29 pm

lilliann

oh, no, it means something to do with a man's appendage here

8:29 pm

periwinkle

no worries. you have probably been playing longer than I have. it is a fun game

8:29 pm

lilliann

yes ru

8:29 pm

lilliann

lmao

8:29 pm

Jacula

Molly - woodies here in UK means something else entirely - to do with male members and their 'readiness' or 'eagerness'.

8:30 pm

lilliann

molly, you have a filthy mind, even if you don't know it...brit wise anyway

8:30 pm

MollyL

The funniest thing I have ever read on Babble is the "other" meaning for Morning Glory. : D

8:30 pm

periwinkle

I did not read that Molly.

8:30 pm

MollyL

Yes, it means that here too. Hence the mention of another kettle of fish.

8:30 pm

Jacula

Molly - what? Morning hard-on 'cos need a wee desperately?

8:31 pm

lilliann

morning glory, i've never heard that one

8:31 pm

rururocks

*says two hail mary's*

8:31 pm

MollyL

L, we have been told that we all have gutter minds, haven't you heard?

8:31 pm

periwinkle

me either

8:31 pm

Jacula

Have you not, lil? Even though married to a trucker? I am surprised.

8:32 pm

MollyL

I thought she was married to a coachman. You all are not playing fair.

8:32 pm

Jacula

Lol re the hail marys, but ruru, can you please stop using that icon?

8:32 pm

MollyL

What IS it with everyone complaining about Ru's icon?

8:32 pm

periwinkle

ditto re the icon, ruru. we all got the message

8:32 pm

lilliann

no, i've never heard of morning glory.i know it as something else but am too polite to say :)

8:33 pm

periwinkle

pls say, lil

8:33 pm

Jacula

Molly - I'm not going to get into that. Youn know what it's about.

8:33 pm

lilliann

believe me molly, if anyone's mind is in the gutter, it's mine :)

8:33 pm

MollyL

Wait, something other than a man's early morning pop up?

8:33 pm

Jacula

I think Oasis sang about Morning Glory (a plant) if I recall.

8:34 pm

lilliann

no peri, i was brought up to be polite and i don't want people suddenly appearing on here having a go

8:34 pm

periwinkle

ok

8:34 pm

lilliann

my husband does drives coaches but not horse bound and also trucks but at the moment he drives coaches

8:35 pm

periwinkle

fw. now going to watch Flea Market Flip. cu all later

8:35 pm

lilliann

yay!wtg peri!! :)

8:35 pm

lilliann

they did sing morning glory jac

8:36 pm

MollyL

Wow Ru, time to go for puppies and kitties I guess.

8:36 pm

Jacula

See you on FB later, peri. xx

8:36 pm

lilliann

bye peri and tc :)

8:36 pm

flosey

need a clue for the first te6/18, please?

8:37 pm

Jacula

flosey - Brit term for Â£10.

8:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

po 8pls?

8:37 pm

lilliann

reading back. what is wrong with ru's icon?

8:37 pm

MollyL

Apparently people don't like being reminded of the Nancyboy farce.

8:37 pm

lilliann

po8, to mail a letter and flames

8:38 pm

flosey

thanks Jac, but not familiar with Brit money

8:38 pm

Jacula

lil - it's of an actor/model and not of the person it was said to be.

8:38 pm

flosey

ok, nm, got it

8:38 pm

lilliann

well, i suppose i can understand that, but at the end of the day we were all fooled and we need to be reminded how easy it can be

8:38 pm

MollyL

More than a fiver Flosey.

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

8:39 pm

MollyL

I agree L.

8:40 pm

Jacula

Molly - none of us like being reminded of the whole damned farce, never mind the Nancyboy part of it. It did untold damage to the babble community and chog. I hope the orchestrator of it all is very pleased with his or herself for that and I hope they pay for it in the next life.

8:40 pm

lilliann

i know jac but i only learnt recently and it was a shock to me, probably because i think the best of everyone but i've learn't differently on here which upset me a bit because 99% of people here are true people with hearts of gold

8:41 pm

Jacula

|t wasn't a shock to me, lil, because, though I got shot down in flames at times, I did urge caution.

8:41 pm

rururocks

prays for the 1 %

8:41 pm

lilliann

jac, they aren't going to be bothered, they will have now moved on to the next chat

8:42 pm

Jacula

Nuff said. Time to let it rest.

8:42 pm

MollyL

I think something like that only does as much "damage" as people allow it to.

8:42 pm

MollyL

Oh, I guess our 12 minutes are up.

8:43 pm

Jacula

I'm off now. See you all next grid, maybe.

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

well that is all well and good for an individual but all people are different, and in this case group dynamics applied

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

by way of explanation. am more concerned about last 10 words

8:44 pm

lilliann

well, i hope it is 99% of people ru, that is why i speak to people on here and open up a bit as i like to think that we are all truthful and want to chat with others like minded.i just must be too gullible

8:44 pm

rururocks

what does that mean TO.. I'm not following you

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

re molly's view. i respect it but think there is more to it when it comes to a group, community and ecosystem, if you will. that's all. no hidden agenda. just desparation to finish.

8:46 pm

rururocks

oh ..ok thanks.. I wasn't following that

8:47 pm

MollyL

I think it applies to a group or community as well. If you don't bounce back from something, you give it the power over you it was searching for.

8:49 pm

MollyL

The group dynamic here often seems to be to ignore the elephant in the room. And having been brought up in a dysfunctional family, I can tell you that's not a healthy way to deal with things. Just my opinion.

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. but some deep damage was done and then you are back to the resilience of the individual. at times, folks posess varying degrees of ego strength. i hear you molly, and respect your views. ignoring trolls has been SOP here,and it does seem to work.. but sometimes, depending on the entity, conrontation works as well. you really can't tell most times which is best.

8:51 pm

lilliann

at the end of the day, i've learnt not to be so gullible, learn from it, but still enjoy this game and the community. my hubby would have known as he's more street wise so to speak and always tells me i'm too nice, he always knows when something isn't right. i just want to see the best in people, it might not be right but i don't want to lose that or i won't be the person i am but i need to become stronger and not let people walk all over me

8:52 pm

MollyL

Okay, I guess I am not aware of the deep damage you are referring to. And I agree about the varying degrees of ego strength.

8:52 pm

rururocks

I'm just a Jun Masimoto fan now

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

a discussion is just that. not an attempt to persuade but just to surface another thought or side of the issue. sometimes i don't see that side until it's pointed out to me.

8:53 pm

lilliann

but then there are times that i won't let anyone walk over me or my family, it must be the gemini in me....

8:54 pm

VYCanisMajoris

do you actually believe in astrology too?

8:54 pm

VYCanisMajoris

oh boy

8:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

one thing i know: this grid is too long. diving in for the kill

8:55 pm

lilliann

me too TO

8:55 pm

Deutsch

I noticed the difference. I was away for a time and missed the whole nancyboy drama. When I returned, I could read the difference. It took a long time for me to figure out what had happened. Still not in the loop, but okay.

8:55 pm

MollyL

Oh how nice. Now we have two people who only enter chat to insult people. Just what we needed.

8:56 pm

VYCanisMajoris

you're misreading me because im not trying to insult anyone

8:56 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i won't last long here anyways

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

deutsch, that is interesting.

8:57 pm

Deutsch

Molly, if that was in my direction, I do apologize.

by the way majoris, anyone is welcome to play, just because we chat, doesn't mean we own babble,it's just that some people including me don't like other people's beliefs pushed on them

9:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello wht

9:04 pm

VYCanisMajoris

im not pushing any beliefs on anyone

9:04 pm

stidgmere

Hi wlki.

9:05 pm

stidgmere

Do you mean I don't own Babble? I must read the fine print of my going pro contract.

9:05 pm

welki

<-- can vouch that VY is an okay guy. danged internet chat can be dicey, things come out looking in different ways than they're intended

9:05 pm

VYCanisMajoris

on top of the reasoning behind my assertions, i was trying to get you to explain why you believe christianity--and most recently why you believe in astrology.. to believe something it has has to have a foundation of rationality, otherwise it's thought without thought, if you will

9:06 pm

MollyL

Well earlier we were all told that we are not intelligent, but I guess that's okay.

9:06 pm

welki

by VY? ut oh *backing out of chat* LOL

9:06 pm

torgone

Let me explain to you why you think the way you do ..

9:06 pm

VYCanisMajoris

ignorance does not mean low intelligence, it simply means denying of or not aware of truth or other information

9:07 pm

lilliann

i wasn't saying you were i was just trying to say, maybe not come across as you are...you've just proved my point. i don't talk about religion and as astrology i was joking and i'm not getting into it

9:07 pm

stidgmere

Do you believe everything you read? Whoever says I'm not intelligent obviously has less on the ball than I do.

9:07 pm

lilliann

oh god, why did i bother!!

9:08 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i think we all lack the understanding of ignorance--again, that doesn't mean low intelligence, it means lack of exposure

9:08 pm

lilliann

hi gmere :))

9:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello gmere

9:08 pm

rururocks

vaccuums corners of the chat room

9:09 pm

welki

ow! that was my foot you just ran over!

9:09 pm

stidgmere

I'm about as exposed as I'm going to be so just don't look. Hi dear TO and lilliann. I think my powers of soothing speech are going to be too little too late for this chat.

9:09 pm

VYCanisMajoris

but not to worry, my presence will be lacking in a few days here.. I'm just sampling the fresh waters here

9:09 pm

welki

hi, owl!

9:09 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i shall let you continue mingling as though my interruption never occurred

9:10 pm

rururocks

I think it's interesting what you are saying VY

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

say hi to me in fb

9:10 pm

rururocks

by and large religion doesn't come up here very often

9:10 pm

rururocks

unless it is a jest or a joke

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

the last time it did, there was a huge fight and the creator smited those involved.

9:11 pm

VYCanisMajoris

to me, its a serious issue that can only be resolved by reasoning. but every time i try, i get nowhere, not only because I'm forceful and direct, but because its difficult to get through to people when they've been accustomed to one particular mode of thought throughout their lives

9:11 pm

lilliann

there is a reason for that ru because religion and politics always cause arguments

9:12 pm

rururocks

wow.. I missed the smiting

9:12 pm

welki

probably doesn't help that you're brand new here, VY - we're a pretty cautious bunch lately, lots of trolls stirring the pot

9:12 pm

rururocks

we could have used some smiting this morning

9:12 pm

welki

I have been smitten once or twice :)

9:12 pm

VYCanisMajoris

trolls in what sense?

9:13 pm

lilliann

i'm not being funny(as in rude) majoris but this is a word game. we chat about this, that and the other but we're not talking about how the iniverse is made. we just like to know the differences in language, food etc around the world

9:13 pm

welki

folks who create personae and instigate, insult, debase - are just general pains in the ass

9:14 pm

welki

used to be a time when there'd be serious discussion here, but not so much anymore

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all...back to tackle some more....hi welki, lilliann, VYcan and my dearest ruru!

9:14 pm

stidgmere

Also, live under bridges, are mean-spirited, and cause trouble.

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

And stidg!

9:14 pm

lilliann

where are you from majoris?

9:14 pm

VYCanisMajoris

thats alright to keep the integrity of the structure of genial conversation afloat here, but to also consider discussion of more serious issues that require careful thought and reasoning--without the intention of offending or insulting anyone-- is also important

9:14 pm

lilliann

wb jill :)

9:14 pm

VYCanisMajoris

its just usually people back away the moment religion or politics is uttered

9:14 pm

welki

hey jilly - nice weather coming, finally!

9:15 pm

VYCanisMajoris

canada, welki's neck of the woods

9:15 pm

Jillyjill

I know...I can't wait!!

9:15 pm

welki

just like in 'real' life, vy - many babblers come here for levity, a break from their daily crap

9:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, i might be curious about such issues but i would not take them up with the person in line with me at the checkout counter. important to YOU. you don't seem to ge that you are a majority of one.

9:16 pm

flosey

FW at long last

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, I read thru the morning's acidic chog...really is not what this should be...sorry for all those that got singed.

9:16 pm

crayola

congrats flosey

9:16 pm

welki

so - in a nutshell, when a newbie shows up and straightaway starts dialogue about pretty personal subjects, everyone's spidey sense goes on red alert

9:16 pm

stidgmere

Congrats flosey!!

9:16 pm

lilliann

we don't want to get into serious discussions vyc.this is suppose to be fun and we learn a bit about others and our countries and we're happy. that's it and have clues given to us for the words for the game we are here for

9:17 pm

flosey

ty gmere

9:17 pm

lilliann

wtg flosey!!

9:17 pm

VYCanisMajoris

and then they become an immediate outcast. that scarily reminds me of every day life among strangers

9:17 pm

VYCanisMajoris

first impressions are everything, when many times they can be wrong

9:17 pm

MollyL

And this particular chain of conversation started when a nasty comment was made to L about believing in astrology.

9:17 pm

welki

<-- likes a serious discussion every now and then, but after the week i've had, i'm all for knock-knock jokes

9:17 pm

welki

how about a do-over?

9:17 pm

VYCanisMajoris

it was a comment. "you believe in astrology too?"

9:18 pm

Jillyjill

Personally, I like to embrace all thoughts and persuasions...

9:18 pm

VYCanisMajoris

care to explain why you believe in astrology? is there an iota of truth you've witnessed aside from statistical chance?

9:18 pm

welki

the persuasion i would like to embrace tonight is 80 proof

9:18 pm

gapeach

Congrats, flosey!!!!!!

9:19 pm

stidgmere

There are certainly some strange combinations of letters in this grid. When have 4 ns been so clustered?

9:19 pm

MollyL

That would be..."you believe in astrology too? oh boy"

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT flosey!!

9:19 pm

VYCanisMajoris

you can get offended by that, sure. you can also back yourself up with reason

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'll second that, welk. i only have godiva, we'll havet to triple up

9:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

as opposed to shuddering back in offense

9:20 pm

welki

anyway, to each their own - if you'd take five cents' worth of advice from this ol' broad, stay a while, vy, test those fresh waters and stay afloat by riding the tide until you get to know people here better

9:20 pm

welki

*and dat's dat*

9:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

like i said, i'll be gone very soon

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

*waiting for welk's irder*

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

order, even

9:21 pm

gapeach

Well, some will be gratefull for that.

9:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

godiva with vanilla vodka?

9:21 pm

lilliann

i might have a vodka :)

9:21 pm

welki

nah - it's a whiskey kind of night. two bomb scares in three days might even force the ice out of the glass. give it to me straight :)

9:22 pm

lilliann

actually, i am with lemon slimline tonic water...cheers every one..

9:22 pm

VYCanisMajoris

id hate to be the culprit of marring the purity of a community

9:22 pm

MollyL

I love it when Peach gets feisty : D

9:22 pm

stidgmere

Another bomb scare? I only heard about one. And that was too much.

9:22 pm

VYCanisMajoris

I'm sure there will be peach

9:22 pm

lilliann

omg welki.you've had bomb scares?

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

*lifts glass of lemon water in toast with lilliann*

9:22 pm

Deutsch

9:23 pm

MollyL

*Gets out a Derby Hat for Gran Mere*

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

9:23 pm

welki

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

9:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:25 pm

stidgmere

With all of the drinks, we won't be able to reach our keyboards.

9:26 pm

9:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

Clue for the ec6

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

the N words are interesting tonight

9:41 pm

torgone

Not to be a pedant, but it was Mack Se6t, and he was more a director than actor ..

9:41 pm

welki

lillian, you know the stuff they put in cream to make cheese? sounds like it - or the stuff in junket pudding mix

9:42 pm

9:45 pm

torgone

Now where's that guy who wants to insult anyone who believes anything, and gets mad when they don't defend themselves on his terms?

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

Hello torgone....probably lurking...

9:46 pm

MollyL

I would answer your question Tor, but I don't have the deductive reasoning to back up what I claim to think I think.

9:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

good one.

9:46 pm

torgone

Darn. I needed someone to explain to me how ignorant I am ..

9:47 pm

welki

pretty embarrassed that i tried to defend him - oh well, guess there's little opportunity for him to be inflammatory on the other site, there's only a minute between rounds

9:47 pm

wht

I don't know anything, including how ignorant I am.

9:48 pm

welki

welcome back, owl

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

lilliann

9:52 pm

"agita" works at Wordsplay, I'm fairly sure

9:52 pm

MollyL

Oh you really didn't ask him that question, did you?

9:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

she did. she really did. :/

9:53 pm

gremlinn

Another word that works at Wordsplay is "nicoise" which is in the grid now.

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

Ruru must be out....

9:54 pm

rururocks

Finally found the en6/7 combo. Another one of those words you only find in Enable.

9:57 pm

VYCanisMajoris

both emotionally and your placement

9:57 pm

gremlinn

Serpentine, was it?

9:57 pm

lilliann

its a salad, why can't we have a salad, when rude words are accepted

9:57 pm

VYCanisMajoris

yes

9:57 pm

VYCanisMajoris

it had a complete overhaul

9:57 pm

rururocks

Like Professor Snipe?

9:58 pm

lilliann

hi peach

9:58 pm

gremlinn

I didn't think many people on tangleword knew me that well - I mostly played WordRacer years back

9:58 pm

MollyL

Drive by sniping

9:58 pm

gapeach

Hi there, lilliann.

9:58 pm

lilliann

9:59 pm

rururocks

um.. I play some at weboggle

9:59 pm

gremlinn

Didn't know you played on games.com - different name, or different time period than me maybe

9:59 pm

VYCanisMajoris

who were you there?

9:59 pm

MollyL

Yeah, anytime Tor, anytime...

9:59 pm

rururocks

I did play letterblox for a while.. but there were too many snotty kids

9:59 pm

gremlinn

I liked the "only score on greenies" rule - it really helped me :)

10:00 pm

lilliann

lol molly :)

10:00 pm

rururocks

that's why I like this place.. mostly nice people and a couple of snotty kids :D

10:00 pm

VYCanisMajoris

i haven't played wordplay in a long time.. I'm gonna add it to my tab list now

10:01 pm

lilliann

i'm not nice :)

10:02 pm

gremlinn

I think the best scoring rule would be a mixture of word length, plus a bonus for uniqueness (maybe a little extra for "first to find" as well like tangle)

10:02 pm

rururocks

you are lillian.. and I like that you don't take crap from anyone either

10:02 pm

MollyL

<---Snotty kid

10:02 pm

VYCanisMajoris

serp does that

10:02 pm

lilliann

molly will tell all my bad habits :)

10:02 pm

gremlinn

Unique find bonus?

10:02 pm

VYCanisMajoris

yes

10:03 pm

rururocks

since there's so many scatologists around here to begin with :D

10:03 pm

gremlinn

Cool

10:03 pm

VYCanisMajoris

well, first find first extra point granted

10:03 pm

VYCanisMajoris

TTYL then nef...good luck, will say a prayer to St Anthony (Patron Saint of Lost things)

good thing i can lip read :)

10:48 pm

lilliann

hope you find it

10:53 pm

stidmama

hey again all.

10:54 pm

Nef

Found it! :-D It was in the bedclothes (he took a nap today and had his CPAP mask on; didn't take out the aids)

10:54 pm

Jillyjill

thank you St Anthony!!

10:54 pm

Jillyjill

Hi there stiddy (((hugs)))

10:54 pm

stidmama

yay! now he can hear you grumbling at him! ;-)

10:54 pm

lilliann

hi stid :)

10:55 pm

Nef

And I know St. Anthony quite well, Jilly. ;-)

10:55 pm

lilliann

glad you found it nef

10:58 pm

Jillyjill

"Tony Tony come around, somethings lost that must be found." Never has failed me :)

10:58 pm

Nef

I'm very relieved. He just got these tiny things in February; through the VA. He lost part of his hearing when he was in the Navy (Many years ago); but his hearing went down hill fast this past year. He wouldn't have gone to the VA except that some vet. rep. told him he should since his hearing loss started there.

10:59 pm

stidmama

glad you found it -- those little aids are expensive! But they seem to work pretty well for the folks I know

10:59 pm

Nef

and these aids are smaller than his Aunts were (and I thought those were small!

11:00 pm

Nef

(I was so tired of yelling at him all the time! He couldn't hear my "normal" voice anymore)

11:01 pm

Nef

how's your sone doing tonight, stud? Improving yet?

11:01 pm

JeeWhiz

11:03 pm

JeeWhiz

Ah...thanks.

11:03 pm

Nef

Jilly got it right

11:05 pm

Jillyjill

Yep stid,, you are living that out...I definitly thought of you when I clued it...more hugs...

11:06 pm

stidmama

(((jilly))) I think we have decided on a basic house plan (Tom and I are now negotiating who gets the "office" and who gets the garage)... AND the underwriters approved the loan. So we are "good to go" now! :-D

11:06 pm

Nef

Great news, stiddy!

11:07 pm

stidmama

yes. a pewter lining to a week that was a little rocky.

11:07 pm

Jillyjill

I am so glad it is resolving...you are often in my thoughts. It is good to see things turning around

11:07 pm

lilliann

glad everything is going well for you finally stid :)

11:08 pm

Nef

it's about time, too!

11:08 pm

stidmama

and I taught 6th graders today for a little bit (LOVE that age!) and Monday I get to be in my friend's class with 5th graders. Then I will take the rest of next week "off" to start making decisions on the interior details (type of heating, lighting water) so the contractors have a good idea of what to quote.

11:08 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, getting down to the wire, have 67 left...going to lurk for awhile...

11:08 pm

stidmama

11:11 pm

stidmama

"see" you again soon jillyjill (also, the first instrument I replaced for myself was a tenor recorder, still plastic but nicer than the one I got when I was ten... richer tone and this time baroque fingering)

11:11 pm

stidmama

YAY! down to 100!!!!

11:12 pm

torgone

11:13 pm

stidmama

good to see you -- ALSO, (because you came in tor) Grant specifically suggested he and I should learn some guitar duets together... *very happy mama look* so I have a book and will start learning again how to play as if I know what I am doing.

11:15 pm

torgone

Guitar harmony is one of the most enjoyable sounds to my ears ..

11:15 pm

stidmama

yes, and if we ever get to the harmony bit... *discordant mama grin*

11:16 pm

torgone

Harmony or counterpoint - whatever ..
