not English derivation. Which brings me to a favorite quote: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." ~ James Nicoll

2:10 am

2:10 am

grannyrose

knee is great, have had only one strong pain tablet today.

2:11 am

puglet

oh wow, thats great! My ribs are a tad sore from yesterday but thats all my pain for today--lol

2:11 am

grannyrose

we areexpecting a huge thunder storm. if i disappear that's why.

2:11 am

puglet

helping makes a person feel nice

2:12 am

puglet

the same on Diz had? I think it was Diz

2:12 am

puglet

just take care and dont stand in front of the window

2:13 am

puglet

do you guys have tornados there

2:14 am

grannyrose

no diz is a long way away from me, closer to the 'top' of australia. they have cyclones up where she lives. we just get the gatdern-variety of thunder storms....lots of thunder and lightning, and lots of rain. usually not a lot of wind.

2:15 am

grannyrose

we didn't used to have them, pugs. but in recent years we have had baby ones, over in south australia.

2:16 am

puglet

The rain will be nice for you but that lighting can be dangerous, hope you dont get anything too bad

2:17 am

grannyrose

and we have willy-willies....like a baby tornado, but mainly dust or sand. not nice to be in one of those. the sand stings when it hits you.

2:17 am

puglet

oh I bet! And must really irritate the eyes too

2:18 am

puglet

do you guys have camels over there--lol

2:19 am

grannyrose

as a matter of fact....our desert camels are being exported to the arabs, to improve their breeding stock.

2:19 am

puglet

you got the single hump ones or the double hump ones

2:20 am

grannyrose

single i think

2:20 am

rururocks

Are the camels getting over the hump?

2:20 am

puglet

I went on a trail ride once in one of our state parks and someone there was riding a camel and all the horses were freaked out about him

2:21 am

grannyrose

just a quickie, ruru...lol

2:22 am

puglet

Have you ever rode one Rose

2:23 am

grannyrose

according to wikipedia there are some double humped ones. pugs, they are feral, wandering through our deserts. the originals were from arabia, china etc. they aren't an indigenous animal.

2:24 am

grannyrose

no thanx, pugs. i like my food to stay where i put it...

2:24 am

puglet

how far are you from the desert

2:25 am

puglet

well it wouldnt be much different then being in a boat

2:25 am

grannyrose

hmmm, the nearest one to us would be ' little desert ', that's about 4-5 hours driving, mostly on highways.

2:25 am

rururocks

Sounds like a drama.derry...to me

2:25 am

grannyrose

yeah, but a boat don't try to bite you either.

2:26 am

puglet

no, but it might throw you overboard

2:26 am

grannyrose

lolol

2:26 am

rururocks

It could be a little stern

2:27 am

grannyrose

i bow to ruru's punning.

2:27 am

puglet

have you had the pleasure to ride a camel Ru

2:27 am

grannyrose

have you ridden one, pugs?

2:28 am

lynxxx

2:37 am

grannyrose

knee doing really well, love. have had only one strong pain tab so far today.

2:39 am

worzel

That's really good to hear. May I ask what is wrong with your knee? Nothing too bad I hope xx

2:43 am

worzel

How remiss of me. I just read on your bio u had knee replacement xx

2:44 am

worzel

dorr

2:45 am

worzel

oh bugger, sorry!!!

2:46 am

puglet

brb

2:46 am

grannyrose

worzel, i had my revision total knee replacement last december..

2:46 am

worzel

Reminds me of an interview I once saw with Sheila Florence (Lizzy Birdsworth, Cell Block H) about swearing in the show and the producers said "No bastard but you can say bugger" to which she replied "What would you rather be, a bastard or be buggered"? I laughed so much! Lovely woman!

2:47 am

worzel

Mum will your knee always be uncomfortable or is it something that will eventually stop hurting/being uncomfortable? x

2:47 am

grannyrose

yeah, she was tough cookie. she was very popular in the series, over here

2:49 am

grannyrose

worzel, it should stop soon. i hope to return to work 28th april. can't do that if i am still in pain. i am doing hydrotherapy, to build up my tolerance to standing, walking.

2:50 am

worzel

I also remember her from Mad Max with that big rifle in her old arms lol. She'd have still frightened me!!! I have seen some amazing Australian films in my time - one of my favourites being a film called Tim which I believe was Mel Gibson's first film role and also starred Billie Piper. Amazing film and acting

2:51 am

worzel

Mum I wish you and your knee a very speedy recovery, but I don't want you starting work until you are ready - you make sure you're fully recovered first! xx

2:52 am

grannyrose

am planning on it, love. learnt my lesson last time...lol

2:52 am

lynxxx

Billie Piper - too young - try Piper Laurie.

2:53 am

worzel

Yes, Lyn, you're quite right lmao! Billie Piper indeed!!! Hahaha! omg stupid me!!

2:53 am

worzel

Trouble with me piping!!!

2:53 am

grannyrose

well you got the piper bit tight

2:54 am

lynxxx

I've been watching Lewis on TV with Laurence Fox, looked up just to check he was a "Fox" - and found out he is married to Billie Piper

2:55 am

gran

2:55 am

gran

Thanks

2:56 am

worzel

Here's a tenuous link for you: Laurence Fox marries Billie Piper who, in Dr Who, was kidnapped by agents from Bad Wolf!!! So she went from a wolf to a Fox! (OK, don't everybody groan at once lol)

2:56 am

lynxxx

2:56 am

powerful message by Mr. Dyer

5:06 am

sprite

good morning all

5:08 am

o-o

Hello, sprite

5:08 am

sprite

hey o-o, glad to see you.

5:09 am

sprite

interesting profile text, o-o.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

hello {{sprite and pugs}}

5:12 am

sprite

hey ruby *hug*

5:12 am

rubyfoo

having a hard time with Mr. Personality this AM. What a PITA!

5:13 am

o-o

I have spent much time on the brain, reality, absolutes, subjective, objective, etc. Each of us has our own truths.

5:13 am

rubyfoo

He says I shouldn't be harsh with the lawyers who've just asked me for another $1000+ for Feb. I told the lawyer I was sick of bleedingmoney and DH says that's too harsh.

5:14 am

sprite

yes and we view the world from those truths and judge it accordingly.

5:15 am

sprite

lawyers are extremely expensive, alas, ruby. I can see Burt's point. But I can also understand your feelings about paying so much.

5:16 am

rubyfoo

And all that happened involving this bill is mailing me (not fedex) a box of docs and 3 -mails

5:18 am

sprite

it is so very frustrating, ruby. And I think it is hard to have Burt criticise you while he does not help with the whole situation that he created in the first place. Hard to have all the responsibility on your shoulders and then being criticised. *hugs*

5:19 am

o-o

Perhaps Burt's point of view would change if he paid the bills?

5:19 am

rubyfoo

and,of course, he finishes the conversation by saying "I don't want to hear about it!" I think of you, Sprite, as I walk away, wanting to say "Talek to my hand, my head is ti***"

5:19 am

rubyfoo

He doesn't know how to write a check

5:20 am

o-o

Can he sign his name?

5:20 am

yeah, probably, o-o. But Burt is too old and confused to be responsible for those things nowadays.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

It is too late for him to tak this over, but at least he could be sympathetic to my point of view

5:21 am

sprite

hehehe good for you, ruby :) Yeah, and don't take it personally, darling. He is a patient nowadays... and you are a caretaker. Very hard on you.

5:22 am

rubyfoo

The idea of "Talk to my hand (or ass)" always makes e smile. Thank you for that, Sprite

5:22 am

sprite

yvw :) Sometimes it is all we need to make us feel better.

5:23 am

rubyfoo

I don't feel that bad, just annoyed with the lawyer and wishing I had somebody who could really help this messy situation

5:23 am

rubyfoo

and whose advice I could truly trust

5:24 am

sprite

so true. You are very alone in this. And Burt isn't even a sounding board for you, which makes it worse. Am sorry I cannot be of more help to you.

5:25 am

rubyfoo

I also think that the VERY expensive advice I got from the US lawyer and accountant was incorrect

5:26 am

sprite

oh that s*cks so bad. How about your son, could you talk things through with him?

5:26 am

rubyfoo

he was totally swayed by what the US lawyer said which was opposite what the Fr one said. So he, too, is critical of me

5:27 am

rubyfoo

although he is behaving pleasantly anyway; we just don't talk about it any more

5:27 am

sprite

a really tough position to be in. I'd say trust your own judgment, ruby. You have always been a shrewd business woman. I am pretty sure your view of things is sound.

5:28 am

rubyfoo

ty for your vote of confidence. I sometimes wonder about the choices (or lack of them) I've made

5:30 am

sprite

it would really help if you could talk with somebody trustworthy and smart and within live meeting distance. Am sorry there isn't anyone like that in your village.

5:31 am

rubyfoo

my Fr lawyer is about 1/2 hour away and he is pretty smart but I don't think he has international experience. Anyway, it's too late to change things as I've already made my decision to turn out the lights

5:31 am

sprite

what do you mean by turn out the lights?

5:32 am

rubyfoo

I'll have to write that in a real letter; who knows about US monitoring....

5:33 am

sprite

ok, all good. Please do. You know I worry about you there.

5:34 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't harm myself, if that's what youo were thinking! Never never

5:34 am

sprite

oh, no I wasn't thinking that, I know you are a fighter. *hugs*

5:36 am

rubyfoo

and when I lied on the grass with my Rufie and we cuddle up and take a nap (I use his flank as my pillow) all the bad stuff disappears for a while

5:36 am

rubyfoo

lie*

5:36 am

sprite

awww that is so sweet

5:37 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, I "decorated" him with violets from the "grass"

5:37 am

sprite

hehehe and he lets you, no doubt.

5:38 am

rubyfoo

he sighs and goes to sleep

5:39 am

rubyfoo

off to lunch to my Italian "son"

5:39 am

sprite

had such fun with Terra yesterday. He can be really fanatical when you give him a bone or treat. I brought him a piece of antler, the pet shop said dogs love them. Well, not Terra, lolol. He wasn't interested at all, looked at me and back at the antler and his whole body said: What the heck am I supposed to do with this???

5:40 am

sprite

and then my daughter said that Terra doesn't care about gnawing, he likes to tear stuff apart and figure out how to get to the inside part. And that is true, just never realised.

5:40 am

sprite

ok hun, have a good lunch and take care.

5:46 am

o-o

The truth of some people leave no room for any other.

5:48 am

sprite

I think maybe they need that truth so badly to be real, they cannot allow anyone to have another view of things.

5:48 am

o-o

People say that of me ... perhaps ...

5:48 am

o-o

There are no trustworthy people for some.

5:49 am

sprite

hm I don't think so. As far as I can see, you are always willing to research another truth. You are just not willing to accept it without challenge... which is pretty sound thinking.

5:50 am

sprite

trustworthy is as trustworthy does, maybe. In order to be trusted, we need to give a little trust too and sometimes that is very hard to do.

5:51 am

o-o

Well, people can represent themselves ...

5:53 am

sprite

sorry to be so dense, what do you mean by that?

5:53 am

o-o

ruby trusts none of the people she has hired

5:55 am

sprite

ah, I see, yes that is true. Ruby is a hands-on person and it is very hard for her to trust in advice that she doesn't fully understand.

5:57 am

o-o

Even her son.

5:58 am

sprite

her son has been very judgmental about this, alas

5:58 am

sprite

fireflies :)
o-o, I wish you a blessed day and a peaceful evening. Thanks for your company! *hugs*

7:23 am

I am learning how to make decent prints of the photos living in my computer

7:26 am

Lizlin

I agree Molly - so many celebrations through the year are paralleled in different faiths.

7:26 am

rubyfoo

It all goes back to the pagans, I| think. Spring, fall, days getting longer, etc

7:26 am

Lizlin

Faith in the widest sense of the word.

7:27 am

Uh oh, I've just lost a word for the longest and shortest days. My mind might be going

St. Patrick's Day menu is open to interpretation...to an extent. I wouldn't go as far as making Cornish Pasties that some people mistakenly refer to as Irish Pasties, but I think you'll get by with meatballs.

That's kind of how I felt about it at the time Molly

11:27 am

rururocks

although I was in over my head

11:28 am

MollyL

Most of us are at that age

11:28 am

MollyL

And OH WOW, smacking forehead

11:30 am

MollyL

Bravo, probably the best two puns of all time

11:46 am

rbud

hi, all - hint for the lone O?

11:48 am

rururocks

ot6

11:48 am

MollyL

ot + 3 letter slang for breast + last 2 of not bro

11:48 am

rururocks

ear stuff

11:48 am

periwinkle

I think it is ot6 inflammation of the ear

11:48 am

rururocks

oboobsis

11:48 am

rururocks

damn

11:48 am

rbud

thank you all! :D

11:49 am

MollyL

My clues are for the people who can count : P

11:49 am

rbud

(lol, ru!)

11:49 am

rururocks

damn.. and I have my shoes off too

11:50 am

MollyL

That 6th toe throws you every time

11:50 am

rururocks

LOL

11:51 am

MollyL

Oops, I better get on my "just like Ru, well behaved manner" thing or I will cause another diatribe.

11:52 am

rururocks

Hey don't blame me.. I can't help myself :D

11:54 am

MollyL

It's okay. When people don't get their own double standards it's kind of amusing. : D

11:56 am

rbud

I was just thinking something similar, I think - along the lines of "you mean we don't allow everyone in here the same amount of slack in their comments?"

11:57 am

aebmusica

clue for io5/14, please

11:57 am

rbud

slack, leeway, tolerance... etc.

11:57 am

rbud

(not meant as a clue for the io5, lol)

11:59 am

rbud

I have an io5 and 6, to do with the stuff they put on cuts, same two consonants used in the 5

12:01 pm

rbud

or io5 = io + "oh no they ***n't!" as teens are prone to say these days

12:02 pm

MollyL

Along with everything else they say way too much
: D

12:03 pm

rbud

so true, sigh... and my son is almost 23 and still talks that way... if he calls me "dude" or "dawg" one more time, I swear... :P

12:03 pm

MollyL

I thought of switching to Sprint the first time I saw the Totes Magotes commercial.

12:05 pm

rbud

I liked those commercials, sort of, at the start, they made me giggle, but enough is enough, now they're really wasting the talents of those two a bit, I feel, lol!

12:09 pm

MollyL

Yes, all commercials get old after they air them for the ten gabillionth time.

12:13 pm

cosdem

hello hello

12:14 pm

MollyL

Hello how is your cat hello

12:15 pm

cosdem

he spent the hello night hello hello we just let him outside hello? he was cuddlingw ith hello paco all night!

12:18 pm

MollyL

God love ya for flying The Flag in honor of The Day lad.

12:18 pm

cosdem

Gotta honor 1/4 of my heritage :P

12:20 pm

crosshair

lol, look at all the flags. starting off early, are we? remember, enough of that green beer, and you will get the trots:)

12:23 pm

crosshair

though I will have to ask soodles about the merits of a wee dram of green spot later on:)

12:25 pm

MollyL

No one in Ireland drinks green beer. That is a totally American thing.

12:25 pm

MollyL

In Ireland, they "drown the shamrock".

12:27 pm

crosshair

no one here in north America should drink that green beer either. stuff will kill you, all that food colouring

12:28 pm

lil*monkey

clue for top row single E word?

12:28 pm

maccafixx

12:28 pm

cosdem

i mean er4/4 lil

12:29 pm

lil*monkey

heh

12:29 pm

MollyL

Guys let guys puke alone. Girls seem to have the need to "help" their girlfriends puke. If you have ever attended to someone who drank green beer all night, you will know why it is unwise.

12:29 pm

lil*monkey

thank you

12:29 pm

lil*monkey

I wondered what all those semi-colons meant

12:29 pm

uusue2

hi all!

12:29 pm

lil*monkey

thought you were winking

12:29 pm

cosdem

that does not apply to teh gayz molly :P

12:29 pm

crosshair

"drink and you drink among friends, puke, and you puke alone"

12:30 pm

crosshair

that reminds me, I have a very nice bit added to my profile for todays entry for those who wish to look

12:31 pm

cosdem

I shall be back later.

12:31 pm

MollyL

Gayz Cos? Have y'all usurped the Boyz 2 Men thing?

12:37 pm

uusue2

I read your profile, crossy, very nice!

12:41 pm

ch1212

Crossy, how have I not read Earth Abides? (Just looked it up from your profile.) My SF library numbers nearly 1,000 from Asimov, Bradbury, Clark, Heinlein to Ellison, Le Guin, Zelzany, and Wells. I am a surprised -- but delighted!!! to discover your recommendation! Have you read "The Sparrow"? One of my top 5 books ever.

12:42 pm

uusue2

I've read Earth Abides but it was a very long time ago, must read it again!

12:42 pm

rururocks

is that anything like the Dude abides?

12:43 pm

uusue2

probably not, ruru :-)

12:46 pm

aebmusica

I asked for the wrong clue earlier ...i need io6/21, please

12:46 pm

uusue2

add the sea salt mineral to (british spelling)

12:46 pm

uusue2

oops, sorry, that was io6/18

12:47 pm

uusue2

oops again, it was io6/21 after all. Maybe I need more tea.

12:48 pm

uusue2

(I'm going to go hide now)

12:48 pm

rururocks

io6/21 is salt related

12:49 pm

rururocks

not to pepper the chat with clues however

12:50 pm

ch1212

no, uu ... don't hide. And if you enjoy SF, spirituality, and seeking, you would love t

12:51 pm

uusue2

I love SF - grew up reading it

12:51 pm

ch1212

"The Sparrow" too, by Mary Doria Russell. There is also a sequel "Children of God." Both are stunning science fiction books, and theology too.

12:51 pm

aebmusica

I have tried every which way to get the British spelling of ion/21 and I can't find it.

12:52 pm

uusue2

the third letter is not an n, aeb (in fact it's the third letter that makes it io6/21 instead of io6/18)

12:53 pm

aebmusica

i know it is a t but then i am lost!

12:53 pm

cosdem

no it is not a t

12:53 pm

rururocks

io 6 is to impregnate with iodine

12:54 pm

ch1212

The author's grasp of the human condition, our failings and triumphs, relationships, pure science, religion, the struggle for peace, ... gosh, I just don't have words. I rarely make recommendations this strongly. To me, it's up there with The Secret Life of Bees and James Blish's Cities in Flight.

12:56 pm

aebmusica

well I tried all the iods I could find

12:56 pm

uusue2

change the next-to-last letter in the name of the element, aeb

12:57 pm

cosdem

io + a plate is also called a ***h + 2nd vowel

12:59 pm

aebmusica

Thank you all

She is truly and exceptional writer.

1:08 pm

ch1212

Indeed.

1:12 pm

Have you ever read "Left Hand of Darkness"by ursula le Guin? It's another about first contact between alien races.

1:13 pm

ch1212

It's not ringing a bell, and I've read most of Ursula's works. EXCELLENT ! In the sense that now I have TWO new SF books that sound terrific. Thanks!

1:17 pm

any Smithwick's behind the bar?

3:17 pm

MollyL

Ah yes, a Smithy's for you boyo

3:17 pm

dan2bit

(not looking a gift Harp in the mouth, please understand)

3:17 pm

MollyL

That's okay. I take care of any unwanted Harp myself.

3:20 pm

dan2bit

for those who are not FB friends, I must share miss2bit's latest - this morning, in response to my insistence that she wash her hands after using the potty, she stomped up her assistive stool steps and said "Daddy, you're ruining my life"

3:21 pm

dan2bit

thought I had a *few* years before I'd be hearing that

3:21 pm

MollyL

Oh my, way too early for that teenage angst.

3:22 pm

dan2bit

luckily, at 3, she has the attention span of a fruit fly

3:26 pm

MollyL

That is a stroke of luck. And wow, they don't just pick up colds at day care. Because I'm willing to wager a 50 that she didn't learn that one in your house.

3:28 pm

dan2bit

yes, unlikely

4:38 pm

crosshair

supposed to be some of your finest locale tipple

4:42 pm

crosshair

well, Tullamore dew will suffice. I like their adverts:)

4:43 pm

MollyL

It's a Dublin thing Soodle. And you not being a whiskey drinker, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.

4:45 pm

whiskey over there has following based on what city you live in? I am impressed:)

MollyL

Which video? When?

4:48 pm

Soodle

4.33.....

4:52 pm

MollyL

Ah, Steve Winwood would be proud. What a great video, celebrating the BEST country.

4:55 pm

Soodle

Yup. A great video for sure. Selective.... but great. I concede, its not a bad little country I call home. :-)

4:55 pm

MollyL

That was just sent out in the annual St. Patrick's Day email fest to the clan.

4:55 pm

With God as my witness Soodle, you are going to have a lot of "welcome flowers in the Spring" one of these days.

4:56 pm

Soodle

Molly, I absolutely love it that you are flying the Irish flag. And Hi (((Sue)))

4:57 pm

BRING 'EM ON, Molly, BRING EM ON......

4:59 pm

I'm sick and tired of saying this on Babble....I absolutely, 100% guarantee, a blooming fantastic experience here in Ireland. Money back guarantee.

5:00 pm

MollyL

It's not for want of the trip, I'm sure. It's for want of the cash to do it.

5:00 pm

JenMO16

if I only had the money!

5:00 pm

GMO

I was in Ireland this past summer and had the time of my life!!!

5:01 pm

MollyL

Although some people here travel like money is the least of their worries. *Wants to be that way someday*

5:01 pm

JenMO16

wow, a 40 degree drop coming tonight!

5:01 pm

Soodle

Really, GMO? Where did you visit?

5:02 pm

MollyL

Jen, I swear to God, I'm going to get a machine gun and blast Winter out of here. It's stayed around WAY too long.

5:02 pm

GMO

We did a tour of the west coast to Dublin

5:02 pm

GMO

Such beautiful countryside and wonderful people

5:02 pm

GMO

the pubs weren't so bad either!!!

5:03 pm

Well, I am very very happy you enjoyed your trip!

5:05 pm

Soodle

Aha! The pubs!! On my insomniac nights, I dream about a bus load of Babblers visiting Irish pubs. Sue, Frank, Molly, Ruby, Pugs, GrannyRose, - all the gang. It may never happen, but it sends me to sleep most nights.

5:06 pm

Ooooh, and Peri....

Well Peri, it's like this. Some people think they know it all and are obliged to blather about that in regards to you and anything you do.

Welll, dia duit tu fein, Cos! And fair play to you!

I've been trying to learn a word in a different language each day.

5:15 pm

Soodle

Maith an buachaill!

5:16 pm

I think the first word is good if I remember right

5:17 pm

Soodle

LOL. Its an absolute joy to me to look at the screen, and see nothing but Irish flags. I'm delighted.

5:17 pm

cosdem

oh my look at the time! brb ;-)

5:17 pm

MollyL

Soodle, settle a debate that occurred over a few (okay, more than a few) Harp last night. Full Irish Breakfast...baked beans or not?

5:18 pm

Soodle

Oh yes. Beans. for sure.

5:18 pm

MollyL

Hell yes, I knew it.

5:19 pm

MollyL

Part 2: Irish Pasties. Are they really "Irish" or just what some American's call Cornish Pasties?

5:20 pm

Soodle

Rashers, sausages, black and white pudding, fried tomatoes, potato cakes, beans, and toast. And tea. Lashings of tea.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Nope. Pasties are Cornish. Not Irish.

5:21 pm

MollyL

Ding! That is a bottle of Tullamore Dew for the Irish lass!

5:22 pm

cosdem

soodle did you see what I told Molly the other day about what this bakery is offering?

5:22 pm

cosdem

cant remember what exactly.. cabbage rye cupcake or something

5:22 pm

Soodle

Always happy to oblige, Molly!

5:23 pm

Soodle

No, I didn't Cos and I'm happy I didn't. It sounds hideous.

5:24 pm

MollyL

It's another blasphemous take on "Irish" invented by Americans. Like corned beef and cabbage.

5:24 pm

cosdem

whats next? corned beef frosting?

5:25 pm

cosdem

i was reading abbout that today

5:25 pm

cosdem

a lot of people say cabbage and corned beef is an american thing

5:25 pm

Soodle

But then, I always hated cabbage

5:26 pm

MollyL

It is Cos. It was made famous by Irish immigrants who could not afford lamb or salmon on St. Patrick's Day.

5:27 pm

MollyL

Why my ancestors roll in their graves: I don't like lamb, I loathe tea, and I have a very weak tolerance for Guinness.

5:27 pm

cosdem

'MURICA!

5:28 pm

cosdem

Filbert left earlier today and he just came back so we let him back in and now he's curled up on the couch sleeping.

5:29 pm

MollyL

I like herbal teas, chamomile and orange/cinnamon but straight up tea, blech.

5:30 pm

cosdem

I like chai and sleepytime tea and there was that tea JMC and seain gave me in DC. orange ginger or something like that

5:30 pm

Soodle

Food on St Patricks Day is the least of my worries. I get a 'Get Out Of Jail free' card for one day during lent. I intend to make the most of it....

5:31 pm

MollyL

Someday, I will have a long talk with you about why "giving things up for Lent" is not necessary.

5:31 pm

cosdem

I gave up giving up things for lent for Lent. (gotta love the english language)

5:33 pm

cosdem

oooh... my dvr has resurrection pilot set to record tonight. good. i programmed it wrong last week it recorded on hdabc which i dont have lol

5:33 pm

MollyL

Ad my favorite Irish priest says, 'Tis better to do positive things during Lent than to deprive one's self.

5:33 pm

MollyL

*As

5:34 pm

cosdem

my priest told us it could be mayeb reading one verse of the bible a day..doing something for someone once a day etc

5:34 pm

Soodle

I give up alcohol for November and I give up alcohol for Lent. Not for any Holy Joe reason. Just to prove to myself that it can be done.

5:35 pm

MollyL

Well good for you then Soodle. Holy Joe would be proud.
: D

5:36 pm

MollyL

It's like fasting, only worse.

5:39 pm

Soodle

Did I mention through the week that I donated mu 50th pint of blood on Tuesday?

5:41 pm

MollyL

Good for you again. I am in awe of blood donors.

5:42 pm

Soodle

Apparently its quite unusual for a woman to donate 50 pints, having babies and stuff interferes wiith the donation process.

5:43 pm

Soodle

I received a blood transfusion when I was 19, so it's payb ack

5:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Notice that Ru and I are never here at the same time.

5:47 pm

Soodle

Not gone unnoticed, Kap

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Gone but not forgotten.

5:48 pm

MollyL

Gone with the wind

5:48 pm

Soodle

Forgotten, not forgiven

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That would be a fun scam if we were the same person. Almost as good as mourning a fictitious Korean youth.

5:49 pm

dan2bit

can't possibly be ten MORE B words to find. Evening all!

5:49 pm

MollyL

Sssh, some people are still in denial about that. Also in denial about one person being two personalities here.

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There really is one person who is two personalities, other than myself?

5:50 pm

Soodle

Its all getting political now, This scares me.I'm off to bed,

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What?

5:51 pm

Uneaixoise

and Dan arrives with yet another adorable icon pic! :-)

5:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

didn't mean anything, sorry.

5:52 pm

MollyL

Rats, I thought it was a new Miss 2Bit picture.

5:52 pm

Uneaixoise

new to me :-)

5:53 pm

MollyL

Kap, no worries. She gets a little fragile when she's off her liquor allowance. *That is a joke*

5:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Jacques Brel is alive and well and living in Paris.

5:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Just saying.

5:54 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

5:54 pm

MollyL

I heard he was roommates with Jim Morrison.

5:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I need to go help my daughter with something. A transfer essay for a new college...

5:55 pm

MollyL

Une, all pictures of Miss 2Bit are cute. I'm glad you didn't miss that one before it got updated.

5:56 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree -- she's is soooo adorable! :-)

5:58 pm

Uneaixoise

good evening everyone

6:39 pm

jaxx7

Evening, Crossy

6:43 pm

crosshair

reading back; Crossy has four personalities going in babble. Why restrict myself to just two? lol

6:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not much has happened in the last hour here, huh?

6:44 pm

crosshair

not that I can see

6:44 pm

crosshair

just got here, however

6:44 pm

jaxx7

I've arrived

6:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ahhhhh.

6:45 pm

jaxx7

Perhaps that is why it has all gone quiet - I killed the chat

6:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, I did.

6:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or that little fly...

6:46 pm

crosshair

now, what have I told you about releasing ts 6/18 flys into the chat kap?

6:47 pm

crosshair

flies

6:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't hear you because I have an ear infection.

6:47 pm

crosshair

lol

6:47 pm

jaxx7

Sleeping sickness, eh?

6:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, an ear infection.

6:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

;) ;)

6:48 pm

jaxx7

'ear all about it!

6:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Call that Roman Ruler!

6:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The one with the bad arch!

6:49 pm

jaxx7

This chat is making as much sense as the grid

6:50 pm

crosshair

the abd arch.. thought that McDonalds

6:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This was a major clue. Call the guy who has an arch!

6:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, Titus? Are you there?

6:51 pm

crosshair

titus.. the lock guy? lol

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

abd is all but dissertation.

6:51 pm

crosshair

it is also about typos

6:51 pm

jaxx7

That was my granddaughter's first word, MacDonalds

6:51 pm

crosshair

may pop in in one of my undercover names, perhaps he can type better

6:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But when I was writing my dissertation, it was a frequent typo. It scared me.

6:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Has anyone here ever seriously relied on a Magic 8 Ball for a question.

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That was a question.

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I forgot to punctuate.

6:53 pm

crosshair

my kids first words were "honey, do it to me again in just that spot" .. seems we had the transmitter and the receiver in the wrong rooms.. no wonder we never heard a peep out of him till he was two..

6:53 pm

crosshair

I throw a fist full of dice into the air to make my decisions

6:53 pm

jaxx7

LOL

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Crossy, for shame!

6:54 pm

crosshair

sorry, stolen material

6:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Funny. Who did you steal it from?

6:54 pm

crosshair

well, there are only seven original ideas anyways; everything else is just plagerism

6:54 pm

crosshair

cannot remember

6:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What are the 7 original ideas, and do they correspond with the seven deadly sins?

6:55 pm

crosshair

I think they run parallel to them

6:56 pm

crosshair

even the ten commandments really needed a citation page:)

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Are they the 7 wonders of the world?

6:57 pm

crosshair

no, do not think the old hanging gardens of babalon is an original idea

6:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who had it first?

6:57 pm

crosshair

the lighthose of Alexandria was cool, however

6:57 pm

crosshair

lighthouse

6:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Light hose? Like nylons?

6:58 pm

crosshair

but I digress, where were we? ahh yes. Seven original ideas..

6:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Alexandria wore beige stockings?

6:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who knew?

6:58 pm

jaxx7

Fluorescent socks

6:58 pm

crosshair

i dadted a girl named Alexandria once..

6:58 pm

crosshair

dated

6:59 pm

crosshair

she just up and vanished one night

6:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't want to offend anyone with this question, but did Asperger's syndrome originate with Cleopatra's asp?

6:59 pm

crosshair

have no idea. Does not offend me. have a nephew with it

7:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

She was said to have had a nice asp.

7:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I did not actually say that.

7:00 pm

crosshair

mm, an asp you could crack eggs on

7:00 pm

crosshair

ru would be proud.

7:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Asperger's is removed from the DSMV anyway, so everyone with the disorder has to find another dignosis.

7:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I told you, Ru and I are NEVER here at the same time, and we BOTH pun, so you do the math.

7:01 pm

crosshair

have then not combined that and adhd and odd and everything else into one digagnistic lump now?

7:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

diagnosis. as in let me Diagones the case.

7:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

there are now just two diagnostic categories. Nuts and not nuts.

7:02 pm

crosshair

well, if you are ruru and i am joso and ruby is three others.. why there may only be a dozen or two actual babblers for this game!! the rest are just phantoms!

7:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's the DSM VI as written by Groucho Marx.

7:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But we are the best in Fandom!

7:03 pm

crosshair

well, if 99 people out of a group of 100 are nuts, does not that make the one left the odd person out and not the rest? . Insanity is a matter of majority

7:04 pm

jaxx7

Which is probably why you don't make sense, either of you

7:04 pm

That's exactly right.

7:04 pm

mm , we put jaxx to sleep

7:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think jaxx just wigged out on us.

7:04 pm

crosshair

yup

7:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We make total sense.

7:05 pm

jaxx7

I have no idea what hapened there. Computer madness

7:05 pm

crosshair

but of course

7:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's the flies again.

7:06 pm

crosshair

minus 10c here, no flies

7:07 pm

MimiCat

In the 80's here...too hot for this time of year. Am afraid summer will come much too early... ((crossy))

7:07 pm

jaxx7

It was 67F this afternoon. Flies galore and flying hamsters - bumble bees to you

7:07 pm

crosshair

((mimi))

7:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Where are you, because this has been the longest freaking winter we have had in years.

7:08 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Mimi. Hope you can save me from Babble madness these two have induced

7:08 pm

MimiCat

I am exhausted---stupid neighbor had his TV up so loud that I could hear the infomercial and could tell you their 800 number! Started at 12:30 last night and didn't get resolved until 4:00. I get up at 5, so no sleep.

7:08 pm

crosshair

where am i? up above your head in the frozen wastelands of the Canadian north. Plan on making an igloo later

7:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not madness, it was subtle cluing.

7:08 pm

MimiCat

Sorry, jaxx....I'm more than a little "mad" myself!!

7:08 pm

jaxx7

I am in UK

7:08 pm

crosshair

that is terrible mimi:(

7:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm mad- you're mad...

7:09 pm

jaxx7

so subtle I missed it!

7:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But I'm not mad, said Alice.

7:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If you weren't mad you wouldn't have come here.

7:09 pm

MimiCat

Would gladly trade for a week, crossy! Nothing worse than an old, fat sweaty woman!

7:09 pm

crosshair

flies everywhere in the grid, teeny tiny African ones

7:09 pm

MimiCat

I'm definitely not the chaperone type....love mischief!

7:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ear infection.

7:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who's an old fat sweaty woman?

7:10 pm

MimiCat

ME! :((

7:11 pm

crosshair

i am not fat, i am just a little husky..woof

7:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You don't seem it at all.

7:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You seem like a thin blond Lindsay Lohan type.

7:11 pm

jaxx7

No, that's me . I have a cold

7:11 pm

MimiCat

So, after calling our Security twice and them calling the police once, finally got him to at least close his stupid door...then my cat had a seizure...and I had to work all day...sympathy, please.

7:12 pm

MimiCat

No, I'm not fat...just too short for my weight.

7:12 pm

MimiCat

Bless you, Kap!

7:12 pm

MimiCat

BTW, I'm a redhead.

7:12 pm

MimiCat

Dark auburn

7:13 pm

jaxx7

My hair is bright pink.

7:13 pm

crosshair

red head eh?.. well, that explains everything:))

7:13 pm

MimiCat

Do you sing also, jaxx?

7:13 pm

crosshair

if a fella has a choice, always grad a red head to take to the party

7:13 pm

jaxx7

No, only in the bath

7:13 pm

crosshair

grab

7:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is getting libidinous.

7:14 pm

crosshair

careful, that is a waste of a ten dollar word

7:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Grabbing asps and all that.

7:15 pm

MimiCat

Does it now, crossy?!! I'm so Irish...red hair, blue eyes, Irish porcelain skin and some freckles. Had a guy once want to pinch me on St. Patrick's Day because I wasn't wearing green...I just said "Hey, LOOK AT ME--IT DOESN"T GET ANY MORE IRISH THAN THIS...I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR GREEN!

7:15 pm

crosshair

lol, i already knew, mimi:))

7:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not in the grid. Isn't libidinous when you call in the lawyers?

7:16 pm

crosshair

firey lass, is she not?

7:16 pm

MimiCat

libidinous...will have to search my memory...barely remember anymore...oh, how life has changed!

7:16 pm

MimiCat

Only if you want a threesome, Kap......

7:16 pm

crosshair

well, i do not think anyone will be sued over having a nice asp

7:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am not at all Irish, but my grandmother whose original tongue was Yiddish spoke English with a bit of a brogue because of flirting with the cops near Delancey St.

7:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, you're a sweaty Di4y lady!

7:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Damn near put me in the PB too.

7:17 pm

MimiCat

At college, I took French from a Scottish woman living in the US...she was amazing and so much fun to listen to.

7:17 pm

crosshair

and anyway,s mimi is setting up threesomes over there

7:18 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

7:18 pm

jaxx7

My great great grandfather was Irish - a flax farmer in Co Cavan. He came to Liverpool during the potato famine

7:18 pm

crosshair

howdy,liz

7:18 pm

MimiCat

No, crossy...that's Soodle of the gang bang persuasion...

7:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, Liz, you really don't want to be here.

7:18 pm

MimiCat

(Liz)

7:18 pm

Lizlin

No Irish in me and my family didn't speak yiddish - though grandparents did!

7:18 pm

crosshair

strap on your safety gear and dive in, liz

7:18 pm

MimiCat

Yes, she does, Kap..Liz will fit right in! (Sorry, Liz...don't know if that's a compliment or an insult.)

7:19 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Liz. The chat is insane

7:19 pm

Lizlin

So Happy Purim and Happy St Patrick's day / weekend!

7:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I live in Boston, which came here because of the potato famine.

7:19 pm

MimiCat

Which safety gear, crossy, and where is it being strapped?

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Compliment mimi - and I join you in the dark auburn - though can't claim it's natural!

7:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Happy Purim and Pat! The only true drinking Jewish holiday!

7:19 pm

crosshair

insane?? Heck i get stranger thing floating in my morning bowl of breakfast cereal

7:19 pm

MimiCat

Forgive me...cocktail hour came early today.

7:19 pm

Lizlin

The best type of holiday!

7:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am probably salt and pepper underneath the dark dye.

7:20 pm

MimiCat

Mine no longer is natural either, Liz---totally gray under here...but refuse to look that old!

7:20 pm

jaxx7

I won't ask, Crossy

7:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have to go to bed. This week, by the way, I recommend acupuncture for all.

7:20 pm

Lizlin

I think I'm probably that too but possibly more salt. Can't say I really want to find out!

7:20 pm

crosshair

crossy is going for the salt and pepper distinguished look

7:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I will not ever want to look that old.

7:20 pm

Lizlin

Sleep well, Kap.

7:21 pm

crosshair

gn Kap

7:21 pm

Lizlin

I like distinguished :)

7:21 pm

MimiCat

I went gray for awhile...you become invisible..especially to younger people.

7:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's because you're a guy and can do the Clooney thing.

7:21 pm

cosdem

hello hello

7:21 pm

Lizlin

Hi Cos

7:21 pm

crosshair

indeed, liz, all the 25 year old young ladies in my class look upon me as a father figure. it is tough, but i endure it.

7:21 pm

jaxx7

When your hair is pink, there is no way you can be ignored, which was the point

7:21 pm

MimiCat

Both my grandmothers died their hair until the days they died...ages 74 and 86.

7:22 pm

Lizlin

Swooning young ladies - very tough, Crossy :)

7:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know about the gray- I really believe I look at grey haired people as non-entities, unless they have the long dramatic silver type. which only works if you have good cheekbones. Or are Helen Mirren.

7:22 pm

crosshair

it is a curse.

7:22 pm

MimiCat

Absolutely right, Kap...when men get older, they become distinguished...we become HAGS!

7:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They dyed till they died- good one.

7:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG\nGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

7:23 pm

Lizlin

My hubby has longish (not pony tail long) silver hair - it's lovely!

7:23 pm

My Aunt gave up colouring her hair because she couldn't remember her original colour

7:23 pm

MimiCat

There 'ya go...

7:23 pm

MimiCat

Oh, and hi, cos!!

7:23 pm

crosshair

mm, did some one put a long url into chat?

7:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That was my hag tag. You know, like for Twitter. It's really squawk.

7:24 pm

crosshair

oh, it was you , kap, with your long primal urge scream

7:24 pm

MimiCat

After my divorce I had boy toys for awhile...not that much fun.

7:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Boy toys? Who ARE you?

7:24 pm

MimiCat

If 'ya don't have it in the brain dept., don't care where else you do!

7:24 pm

crosshair

toys never suffice. you talk about a record, or an 8 track tape, or a favorite song and you get a blank stare back in return

7:25 pm

jaxx7

Goodnight all

7:25 pm

7:25 pm

7:25 pm

MimiCat

Night, jaxx.

7:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Why are you going to sleep if you're in Australia?

7:26 pm

Lizlin

I'm not!

7:26 pm

crosshair

i should make up another split personality but one that is aussie. i kind of like the whole time travel thing

7:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OK! I have better go off now.

7:26 pm

MimiCat

Again..oh, the stories I could tell...read the book (if I ever finish writing it).

7:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If Ruru makes an appearance, don't blame me.

Kaplan the Magne

Mimi, you are a stitch...

7:27 pm

7:38 pm

MimiCat

Have had an issue with him for 4 yrs...he's old and hard of hearing but mean as a snake...hard to be sympathetic. Can't do that back, crossy...too many other neighbors who would then be mad at me.

7:39 pm

MimiCat

He has now replaced my ex-husband in my fantasy of how to kill and hide the body.......

7:39 pm

crosshair

i hated the sound from the built in speakers on my hadt smart tv, seemed to be all muffled base and you could not hear the speaking parts well, so i went out and bought a pair of 5:2 computer speakers for the audio jack on it and now i can shake the mortar loose from the brickwork around me:)

7:39 pm

my in-laws used to have the sound at warp 9 all the time:(

7:40 pm

Was supposed to meet ex's girlfriend at grandson's birthday party today, but had to work...she should be VERY grateful...this is the one who was seeing him BEFORE we split..yes, it's really his fault but he's the father of my children and I need to find a way to get along with him....but I didn't sign on for HER!

7:41 pm

crosshair

dad would be watching old episode of the price is right and mother in law would be out in the sunroom, wearing ear plugs and reading

7:41 pm

nope, you did not

7:42 pm

Oh, crossy, I broke down and got DirecTV...LOVING IT! Got a deal at $40/month.

Oh, yeah, I know...I spent 2 years doing just that. Still using it. Oh, I KNOW--who ARE these people and how did they become so DISGUSTING?!!

7:44 pm

mkg

hi all. need clues for all the 8s. dont have any.

9:38 pm

mkg

ty

9:39 pm

uusue2

they are all plural (I think)

9:40 pm

uusue2

le7/8: sounds like a man's name but with an extra vowel

9:41 pm

uusue2

mo7/8: sounds like a Frenchified version of someone who dresses conservatively

9:41 pm

uusue2

ri7/8: something that is very funny

9:42 pm

uusue2

st7/8: sounds like someone who takes long steps, but with a different last vowel

9:42 pm

mkg

ty sue. not sure i get them but am thinking.

9:42 pm

uusue2

sorry for not great clues; the ri7/8 are the only ones that I would say are common

9:43 pm

mkg

got the Le.

9:43 pm

mkg

ri i have ri4 that mean very funny but there is no ous ending so not seeing it.

9:44 pm

uusue2

no, it's a different, less common word, uses the 3-point tile

9:44 pm

mkg

confused. b in it? hmmm

9:44 pm

uusue2

yep, that's the one

9:45 pm

mkg

mkg

i have ri with that B as a 5. not others.

9:46 pm

mkg

not seeing it at all.

9:46 pm

uusue2

the b is part of the ending, like something that you can hear is audi---, this word ends the same way

9:46 pm

joso

ri6, more ri3 than the others

9:47 pm

mkg

audious? i just dont get it.

9:47 pm

mkg

it is not: ribiest, ribest, ribist, ribeis

9:47 pm

joso

ri7, rhymes with not seen

9:48 pm

mkg

invisible?

9:48 pm

joso

close mkg, but only 6 letters

9:48 pm

uusue2

that's it! Stick an r on the front (of the part that means seen) and you've got it.

9:48 pm

mkg

i am clueless. not getting it at all. the B is at the end and therefore i dont get it.

9:49 pm

mkg

9:59 pm

joso

s + 3 letter word for 3 + portal with trin vowels shrunk to 1 letter

10:00 pm

mo 7 - a good Jewish lady is supposed to be "Tzenius". Think of the English but change the 2nd vowel and add a vowel at the end!

10:00 pm

mkg

what are trin vowels?

10:00 pm

mkg

bless you liz. got it immediately. ty.

10:00 pm

11:26 pm

working on the pics

11:28 pm

Nef

yep. And Grandson had 2 more crowns put in yesterday too. :-( I spent 6 hrs. in the ER with my friend (she's single and lives alone -except for her 2 dogs) Thursday night, then yesterday had grandson and DH whining all day, 2 1/2 hrs. in Urgent Care with DH and chasing around the Cities looking for a 24 hr pharmacy. I was so tired last night I took some time off to go cheer on my dtr's boyfriend lose in his championship bout (roller derby); then drove the wrong way on a one way street going home afterwards.

11:29 pm

Nef

Luckily, I wasn't caught by the police; but if they would have caught me; I was sober, just tired

11:51 pm

I'm just a mess lately I guess; computer doesn't obey, cell phone caught a virus, and humans in my life are now sick too

11:52 pm

jesdraggon

not just you - i ended up both on-call this weekend (because the scheduled doctor is sick) and walking dogs/cleaning kennels (because the kennel assistant is sick)...was supposed to go to a play tonight, but that didn't happen.

11:53 pm

jesdraggon

11:53 pm

jesdraggon

at least my phone appears to be in working order :D

11:54 pm

Nef

(((jes))) Shall we form a pity party? ;-)
Actually, I should be happy that I'm over my cold so fast. Last week I pretty much slept through my cold; so I feel good about that

11:55 pm

jesdraggon

or we could be happy for small things - like coconut macaroons :)

11:55 pm

Nef

Very true, jes. (wish I had some now!)

11:56 pm
