my memory is shot,but i still remember every second of us standing in front of the minister..well not everything he said,that was a far off drone untill i had to answer things.i was staring into her eyes,the way the sunlight caught the hues and colours in them and bared her soul to me,the laugh lines around her eyes,her hair cascading down over her shoulders..the way she seemed so poised yet the boquet was shaking in her hands,the glow of her skin,the flush on her cheeks.lol,not sure what else was going on,but yes i remember it well;))

Greetings, fellow Class M planet inhabitants.

uh oh....earthquake?
8:57 am
Riverdance
Carlee started her new job this morning so would not be on babble - she lives in ontario
8:57 am
Judi
Cool. How strong was it, Andee?
8:58 am
Andee
Not strong. But I thought maybe it was just my imagination.
8:59 am
Jen34
I love the randomness of the chog -- it looks like I'm taking credit for the earthquake. Which I am, of course.
9:00 am
Riverdance
nothing on google yet....last earthquake reported in Ontario was April 15, 2013 near the Quebec border
9:00 am
Andee
Well Jen, you are very talented and powerful
9:01 am
Jen34
No, stop, really . . .
9:07 am
Hazzardous
This is very odd. I have felt the house shaking and heard the china rattling twice in the last 10-15 minutes. But you are in Niagara, Andee, and I am in Ottawa - pretty far apart to both be feeling the same seismic event
9:07 am
Judi
There was an earthquake in Chile about 20 minutes ago. Not related to Ontario, obviously.
9:08 am
Judi
Interesting. Canada has the wiggles this morning.
9:08 am

They are now reporting a 4.8 earthquake felt through Ontario this morning
9:10 am

i feel nothing here,but have no idea where you are situated
9:10 am

Just a baby quake. No biggy.
9:13 am

The epicentre seems to be Shawville or Aylmer - just across the river from Ottawa. I'm still amazed that you felt it in Niagara!

Good day to all. We just felt an earthquake--40 minutes ago. Centered in Quebec but felt in Buffalo area. Has Crossy been here? He is closer.
9:31 am

loved teaching, but also love retirement
9:31 am

Good for you! I just read your profile. Do you buy books for your grandkids? And if you do, do they actually read them?
9:32 am
puglet
Hi Scrabbler
9:32 am
Judi
Hi, Scrabbs - see earthquake chat at 8:57.
9:33 am
wvteach
my granddaughter (7 year old, 1st grader) is always readaing books. Has gone through ther Magic
Tree House book series. The 2 year old will let you read books with him, but not the way his sister did at that age
9:34 am
wvteach
The 14 year old knows how to download books to his phone and reads them on there.
9:34 am
Judi
That's great to hear. So many kids don't read today. Nor do they have books read to them. Crazy. I always loved books.
9:34 am
Scrabbler
wv, my middle nephew, now 23 and majoring in computer engineering, read his first book at 4--Green Eggs and Ham
9:35 am
wvteach
Need to have their parents / grandparents model it for them. If they see adults read / going to the library / hanging out in book stores they are more likely to read.
9:36 am
Scrabbler
In my office I ask kids about their hobbies--not many readers, especially among boys. Sad.
9:36 am
Judi
I remember being able to read before I entered kindergarten. So many children don't even know the alphabet now before being enrolled in school. And I know that's not just a problem in our crappy public school system here in Delaware.
9:36 am
wvteach
Alana - my granddaughter - was reading by 4 and read Green Eggs and Ham to her 4 year old kindergarten class one year and the 5 year old kindergarten the next year on Dr Seuss's birthday (March 1, I think)
9:37 am
hurshy
metoometoometoo i could read and the teachers just patronized my parents and said, "a lot of parent THINK their kids can read but really they just have certain books memorized..."
9:37 am
wvteach
The 2 year old has listened to his sister and also to shows on PBS and knows his alphabet and recognizes the lagnetic alphabet letters on my refrigerator
9:38 am
Judi
Reading is such an essential life skill. Kids were expected to know letters, numbers, colors, etc. before entering kindergarten. Now, parents just throw them in, sink or swim.
9:38 am
Scrabbler
We have universal pre-K in New York state, and many kids go to Head Start, so most entering kindergartners know the alphabet...but the biggest problem is that kids have not been taught manners, respect and responsibility.
9:38 am
wvteach
Luckily her teachers have encouraged her to read
9:39 am
Judi
Amen to that Scrabbler. I blame "incidental" parents.
9:39 am
Scrabbler
Hurshy, we have talked before about the sad state of education of gifted kids.
9:39 am
Scrabbler
At least in the elementary years, I mean.
9:39 am
wvteach
Scrabs - that is so important to also learn. The two year old loves to say "you're welcome" and will wait for you to say thank you so he can say that
9:40 am
Judi
Home schooling is becoming more popular. Rightly so, I think.
9:40 am
Scrabbler
Judi--parents are friends with their kids, not the teachers and leaders that they must be.
9:41 am
Scrabbler
I see that too, Judi, and encourage parents to homeschool, particularly bright, ambitious kids, and then those kids just flourish!
9:41 am
wvteach
as a teacher myself i knew that i could not be a "good" teacher for my own kids - provided them with lots of experiences, books everywhere, but did not have the extra patience with them that i did with other kids
9:41 am
Judi
I'm not a parent, but I work at a police station. I see the by-products of disconnected parents and disconnected children on a daily basis.
9:42 am
Scrabbler
But you were a GREAT teacher for your kids, wv, because you enriched their learning and life
9:42 am
puglet
Amen to that! My sister is raising her grandson and I get so upset with her cause she lets him tell her what and when
9:43 am
Scrabbler
So many parents create child-centered homes, and are afraid to "hurt their kid's feelings."
9:44 am
rubyfoo
back, just read over the interesting chog. I, too, think reading is the most important skill, but although they tested me and put me into kindergarten at only 4 1/2, no one encouraged me to read early
9:44 am
Judi
They are doing more harm than good. Hence the term "entitlement generation". Teaching manners and self-sufficiency is critical. How else do you expect your child to survive in the real world?
9:44 am
Scrabbler
Literacy is crucial to school success and life.
9:44 am
wvteach
I worry most about the adult-centered homes where the adults are busy with thier work and their own entertainment - not involving their children, bringing their kids with them on their travels
9:44 am
Scrabbler
Amen, Judi
9:45 am
rubyfoo
when asked, in 1st grade, what was the most important word, I said "elephant"
9:45 am

we encouraged them to read by having books around the house, taking them to the library, but never actively thought about "teaching" them to read
9:45 am

I have no childeren of my own(lost a daughter in my earlier years) but Iam worried for her as hes becoming a teenager here in a couple of years. Iam afraid she wont be able to handle whats ahead

It's raining again! At least I got in an hour of weeding before it started

Kids have far too many electrical distractions now too. Television is bad enough, but smart phones, video games, Facebook, etc. I think they've really dumbed down the population.
9:48 am

it is incredibly cold and miserable out but at least i heard from my son, so I'm OK again

I would not like to be the parent of a Young child today. It is awful what they show on prime-time TV in France -- shocking even for adults
9:49 am
Scrabbler
Parents need to think about what kind of adults they want to create, then put in the hard work to do so.
9:49 am
Judi
So true, Ruby. There's a lot less filtering of inappropriate material in all media.
9:50 am
wvteach
it IS hard work to focus on the children and spend time doing things with them

I've been away from the US for a long time now, but can't imagine that it's could be as bad as here vis-à-vis nudity, violence and such
9:51 am

I do see parents and families that I greatly admire, and those sustain me in my pediatric practice. But they make up perhaps 20% of my families.
9:51 am

I cant get over the talk out of babies mouths now adays. I would never think to talk like that to my parents

Wimpy, spineless parents.
9:52 am

Not so much nudity, ruby. Violence is prevalent in TV & movies here.
9:52 am

here, it's explicit nudity even in trailers for films and at 8 in the evening
9:52 am
Judi
I for one, don't mind the nudity. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Drugs, alcohol. I think the biggest problem is parental indifference. People just expect schools to totally raise and educate their children. Huge mistake.

wow - then it is not just me getting old - I find I am switching of the TV more and more these days - I thought I was just getting old and more prudish
9:56 am
MimiCat
Scrabbler, I agree with you about spineless parents. When I was raising my kids I gave them total love but also total discipline. If I said "Do this or else" you could take "or else" to the bank...it was going to happen! They all now have degrees and good lives.
9:56 am

I think meth is a bigger problem in the US than here, but all the rest is probably the same
9:57 am

Kids aren't puppies, for cripe sake. You can't just feed them then send them off for someone else to discipline and train.

rubyfoo
I don't think the French are smart enough to cook it (but don't quote me)
9:57 am
MimiCat
Yes, ruby, meth is ruining so many lives here. It just baffles me why anyone would even try that poison.
9:58 am
Judi
Drugs are trendy here in the U.S. Meaning, popularity wains from high to high. Heroin is back in after years of almost non-existence.
9:59 am
rubyfoo
perhaps it's a bigger problem in the cities here than I'm aware of, here in the country
9:59 am
Judi
"Bath salts" - which were neither for baths nor contained salt - were popular here. It was just some unknown chemical concoction that was cheap and easy to come by. The down side was that it caused halucinations and violent behavior.
10:00 am
Scrabbler
Oops, I grabbed a section of the newspaper and wasn't here.
10:00 am

I dont understand the need to get high and take the chance to destroy your brain for life. Its as if they care so little for their lifes

Bath salts have since been banned in most states now.
10:01 am
MimiCat
Did you see my post to you, Scrab?
10:01 am
Scrabbler
Opiates are the big drugs here starting in middle school--hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc. Then kids switch to heroin because it's less expensive.
10:01 am
puglet
and I seen on tv that kids are snorting those smarties candies after crushing them and now they are seeing if they can swollow a tablespoon of cinnimon
10:01 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Mimi. I am proud of you!
10:02 am

Yep. Prescription drugs are the biggest problem right now.
10:02 am

su7 keep it going and then other forms
10:03 am

I do understand the need to escape one's own mind and emotions...I had an issue with the codone family (clean now for 7 years) but experimenting with stuff in which there could easily be real poisons...that I don't understand.
10:04 am
Scrabbler
The su- words are not jumping out at me yet.
10:04 am

Yeah. That stuff is crazy. I've always been afraid of anything other than marijuana. The other stuff is just too unpredictable.

It's not like you can hide being a meth addict-----shows all over your face with skin lesions.
10:05 am

I tried pot when I was younger--hated it--it made me throw up everytime--

Meth is HORRIBLE. I have seen 20-somethings with the teeth corroded right out of their heads.
10:07 am

I tried pot.. but I didn't inhale :D

tobacco is worse than heroin

{{ruru}} Yes, I read an article stating that nicotine is the most addictive substance known. I believe it...so many people want to stop and can't. I've never tried it and don't intend to......saw that addiction kill my father slowly and painfully.
10:10 am
Scrabbler
I never even liked alcohol and never tried anything else.

scrabbler, as a doctor, please comment on this claim that tobacco is worse than heroin.
10:10 am

Heroin is a truly awful dangerous drug
10:12 am
Scrabbler
I don't know much about addictions, Hursh.
10:12 am

well, i know a doctor who treats heroin addicts and from what HE has said, i am skeptical about this claim regarding tobacco.
10:12 am
Scrabbler
I tell my patients to stay away from all of the bad stuff.
10:13 am
hurshy
i could buy tobacco being more addictive than marijuana, sure. but heroin?
10:13 am
Scrabbler
Some brains are predisposed to addictions. There are physiologic and psychological factors.
10:13 am
rururocks
in take of cigarettes is often more frequent than heroin. it is harder to quit cigarettes than any other drug
10:14 am
hurshy
this doctor i know says that heroin is like, sixty times better than sex at stimulating the pleasure centers of the brain.
10:14 am
MimiCat
Hurshy, just because something is considered "more addictive" does not mean it is more harmful necessarily. Nicotine takes a much longer time generally to harm you than heroin.
10:14 am
puglet
Ive thought about them Judi but just havent tried it out yet--dont want to fail again
10:14 am
hurshy
since it SO STRONGLY stimulates your pleasure centers, that's what makes it SO ADDICTIVE.
10:14 am
Scrabbler
Ultimately, addictions are behavior problems.
10:15 am
rururocks
I would now doubt that doctor.. nothing stimulates my brain more than sex :D
10:15 am
Scrabbler
Whether alcohol, food, sex, gambling, drugs, tobacco---behavior problems, lack of self-respect, lack of self-discipline.

I have heard that kicking cigs is more difficult than kicking heroin. Something about nicotine staying in your body for along time. Whereas the heroin high gets used up and you start needing more and more to even maintain normalcy.
10:16 am
MimiCat
I agree that they start out as behavior issues but do then become physiological. That's when people do the drugs just to keep from being sick and aren't getting high anymore....I know about that.

10:23 am
Judi
Nah. I haven't smoked that stuff in decades. I wouldn't mind having a little stash to treat myself with tho.
10:23 am
puglet
In the brownies? lal
10:23 am
rururocks
LOL... I knew that
10:23 am

Ha ha. Better to smoke the pot than drink the Kool Aid!
10:24 am

nobody is mentioning the elephant in the room
10:24 am
rururocks
elephant?
10:24 am
MimiCat
What elephant?
10:24 am
Judi
Yes. Let's not have this intelligent discussion be hijacked by political overtones.
10:24 am
hurshy
the addictive power of babble
10:25 am
rururocks
there aren't any support groups for babble yet hursh
10:25 am
Judi
Babble's not an addiction! It's...er...um...a way of life.
10:25 am
MimiCat
Should we consider it a harmless addiction?
10:25 am
MimiCat
When my computer crashed I thought about starting a support group for Google withdrawal.......
10:26 am
hurshy
i once failed to show up at a calculus class i was supposed to be teaching because i was babbling, i don't think it's harmless.
10:26 am
Judi
lol. I think "harmless addiction" is an oxymoron.
10:26 am
rururocks
HI I'm ru.. i'm a babble addict.. it started so innocently with smaller grids...
10:26 am
puglet
not here for just the puzzle but the people--I think this is the cure for all things-lol
10:26 am
Scrabbler
I used to stay up late just to finish grids. Now I aim to pass halfway. I freed up lots of time.
10:26 am
MimiCat
Nah...no morons of any kind here!
10:26 am
MimiCat
LOL, ruru!
10:27 am
Scrabbler
The small grids not longer produce a rush for you, right, Ru?
10:27 am
MimiCat
I am totally free of any pressure to finish grids. I enjoy getting the words I can and then just forget about it. Such an underachiever!
10:28 am
Judi
Ruru always thinks bigger is better. *smirk*
10:28 am
MollyL
The 744 word grid and those who finished it. That weeded out the hard core addicts from those just dabbling in addiction.
10:28 am
hurshy
that is true, has to be over 200 for there to be any sort of rush
10:28 am
MimiCat
Wow---744! Would love to have gotten into that one....and not finished!
10:29 am
rururocks
bigger IS better judi.. always :D
10:29 am
Scrabbler
I just knew you would say that, Ru!
10:29 am

Amen to that, ruru.....if memory serves........!

zoozzoom
Yes i think they say it has to be 60% dark chocolate to get any benefits from it.
1:24 pm
sprite
yes at least. We can get 85% here at the supermarket. Very tasty.
1:24 pm
zoozzoom
85% wow is that very bitter?
1:25 pm
sprite
yes, bitter but in a good way. Still sweet too, since it is chocolate.
1:25 pm
cybernan

1:26 pm

1:26 pm
zoozzoom
Will have to look out for it...not usually a fan of very dark chocolate..but will give it a go..i normally prefer..belgium chocolate.
1:27 pm
sprite
hehehe yes that is yummy too
1:28 pm
sprite
buy very dark chocolate, melt it au bain marie, cut up a load of cranberries, pour chocolate out over cranberries in a serving tray or something like that, let cool and harden, break up in pieces. Yummy!
1:28 pm

this actually happened to me two winters ago during the running of the skier citiots we get up here...mrs and i were in line with our stuff at the store and ahead of us are 2 citiots (you know they are citiots because they are trying to wear their ski boots and goggles while clomping through the store) and one turns to the other and says" i really wish all the locals would shop during the weeks so we do not have to wait so long)..the wife almost had to gag me to stop me from commenting to them on that little gem
4:20 pm
TraderKate
for some reason, i thought you were from the west somewhere pen...oops
4:21 pm
penquis
heading out....back later
4:21 pm

i wouldn't have been able to contain myself crossy, yu acquitted yourself very well !
4:21 pm

i just managed it by banging my head on the candy bar rack till they went away
4:22 pm
TraderKate
and you imagine the nerve of the townies to get in our way and hld us up??? don't they know how very important we are????? hehehhe
4:23 pm
crosshair
they clog u our emerg so badly with broken legs and wrists from december till the end of march that us locals end up driving to a hospital an hour away in another town for treatment
4:24 pm
TraderKate
:(
hope none of the locals get sick during the winter....
4:25 pm
crosshair
however,our bars,restaraunts and hotels do well while they are here as well as the resorts on the hills.
4:27 pm
crosshair
the bad scenario is that blue mountain villiage is almost a town unto itself,minus any gas stations of course and what happens is they pack all the booze and food they need for the entire week and once they get on the hill,they do not come down till it is time to go home,so other business suffer.it is a odd thing
4:28 pm
crosshair
if they stay in town and drive to the hill every day,you are ok,if they stay on the hill,you may as well close shop till they go home
4:31 pm
TraderKate
you can't win for losing sometimes crossy, sorry at the library and when time is up yyou just get kicked out of the system and have to log in again.....then i have to get babble expert through my e-mail... it takes time
4:33 pm
TraderKate
thinki would prefer they stay on the mountain... at least they are out of your hair...... but as you say, the local pubs etc. would suffer.. bbs

As you can see, we all are so very happy for you and Frank!!
5:11 pm

Hello. What am I hearing? Wedding bells? Oh, my favorite sound.

What a wonderful event. All my wishes for a wonderful life.
5:14 pm
uusue2
thank you, gmere!!
5:14 pm
Soodle
Quick, borrow something, and get something blue!! (i'm ridiculously supersticious)
5:15 pm
uusue2
I have some blue undies, and I'm sure we can borrow some matches from the minister when we light the candles, does that count?
5:16 pm
Jillyjill
Me too...I had most of it in one, my grandmother's necklace (leant to me by my aunt) that was 100 years old and blue!
5:16 pm
Jillyjill
Borrow a hankerchief from someone...
5:17 pm
stidgmere
Now wait a minute. Birthday candles on a wedding cake? No. Borrow someones credit card for a night out.
5:17 pm
Jillyjill
Oh grandmere.. perfect thought!!
5:17 pm
uusue2
no, we're lighting a unity candle as part of the ceremony
5:18 pm
Soodle
Absolutely perfect, Sue!!! You go, Girl!!
5:18 pm
uusue2
so we each light our own candle, then use the two of them to light a single big one
5:18 pm
uusue2
we willl be borrowing candle holders for that...
5:18 pm
stidgmere
Okay. Unity candles do make lovely sense and the symbolism is very touching.
5:19 pm
Soodle
Jilly, that was a lovely idea!
5:20 pm
Soodle
Oooh, I'm actually getting misty eyed for the pair of you Sue. Hugs and hugs and hugs!
5:20 pm

thank you so much, soodle! I'm being kind of blase about it now but I'm sure when the time comes I will be all teary-eyed
5:21 pm
Soodle
Pics ASAP, please! You are such a handsome couple, I can't wait to see them.
5:22 pm

Soodle
Oh, that sounds lovely. I'm so glad Its not at the hospital. May the sun shine on you both.
6:06 pm
uusue2
no, Frank is actually doing pretty well, so we see the hospital only in passing. If you ran into him on the street you wouldn't know he was sick.
6:08 pm
Soodle
Well, thats even better!! Less than an hour to go before he makes 'an honest woman of you'......as they say here! Lol
6:09 pm
uusue2
yes, we say that here too :-)

"jesus was not found in the dictionary"
7:38 pm
dianedecoder
arthritis in both of them...not quite ready for replacements. It's a big step and results not always perfect.
7:38 pm
blueheron
really?
7:38 pm
smores

7:39 pm
dianedecoder

7:39 pm
smores

7:40 pm
blueheron
I have only one option left for my knee, surgery.
7:41 pm
smores
finally reached 100...taking a break
7:41 pm
dianedecoder
I've had arthroscopic surgery on both of them but it only helps for so long. Cortisone helps but not a frequent option.
7:42 pm
blueheron
same here diane.
7:43 pm

hey ru..would you like to pun for a few?

7:48 pm
blueheron
wunderful...(sp)
7:49 pm
gremlinn
Ah, it's "semiprone". Wow, I thought maybe I remembered that word, and it turns to mean just that.
7:49 pm
dianedecoder
good for you !
7:50 pm
gremlinn
Not a Babble word, though
7:51 pm
blueheron
enable dictionary is not normal.
7:52 pm
gremlinn
I think we need a cultural movement - a movement to unify the dictionaries.
7:52 pm
blueheron
yes, I'm all for it!!
7:53 pm
dianedecoder
I'm not sure what enable is.... I've never used it.
7:54 pm
gremlinn
Stands for "Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon" apparently
7:54 pm
blueheron
enable is the dictionary that Babble was created from.
7:54 pm

Why? why the heck not!
7:58 pm

Enable is just a list of words. It's not something you really "use" other than just being familiar with what's in it.
7:58 pm

Thank you lickety.
7:58 pm

Hey lickety :D
7:58 pm
dianedecoder
Hi Lickety

7:59 pm
Bugsaw
Hi LIckety. Thanks for putting the lists up every day for us slower ones
7:59 pm

8:02 pm
Bugsaw
gremlinn, just curious. What made you look up the word triskellion? It doesn't come up in conversation very often
8:03 pm
licketySplitAUS
I was just popping in, gotta go - Selling my late father's car for my mother, and a potential buyer is knocking on the door.
8:03 pm
gremlinn
Well, I knew it was a word (having seen it in a biology textbook) from a long time ago, and then it was almost in a grid on another Boggle site (I think only the S had to be moved over one tile). Got me curious what the general meaning was.
8:03 pm
crayola
bye lickety
8:04 pm
Bugsaw
always good to know a new word that is accepted by Bable
8:04 pm
gremlinn
Clathrin: a protein that forms a triskelion shape.
8:04 pm
gremlinn
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrin
8:07 pm

neat. almost as good as a geodesic dome
8:08 pm
gremlinn
Short version: those clathrin molecules bunch together to make little balls that are used to transport things in cells.
