Albeit

Does anyone ever miss Jacula? She was a "spirited" one. Full of opinions and a bunch of vinegar.

12:47 am

Albeit

a.k.a. someone I'd rather avoid and not deal with/a real bitch.

12:50 am

Albeit

Back in 2005 you couldn't get a word in when she was around. She was a very vile and nasty person. Others applauded her behaviour though.

12:50 am

mymuseisme

I like Jacula and think she is a strong, interesting woman. We all have opinions. It's our differences that make us interesting.

12:51 am

cybernan

crashing -- good night all

12:51 am

Albeit

I agree with that, however, she somehow dominated the conversation and did her best to belittle everyone who opposed her.

12:52 am

Albeit

She hasn't been around. Is she ill?

12:52 am

sammysmom

our house is sad tonight

12:52 am

mymuseisme

well I will not engage with you on that. I prefer to focus on the things I like about her.

12:53 am

Albeit

Maybe you don't know her very well.

12:53 am

Speedie

I don't think you can really single out one person, and I don't really think you should. I agree with mymuseisme - please look for the good.

12:53 am

gapeach

Why? Sammysmom?

12:54 am

sammysmom

our beloved cat .. chuckie... died. he was 17 and quite sick these last five years

12:54 am

Albeit

You can when you know who to name.

12:54 am

grannyrose

hey everyone... look out.... TROLL ALERT!!!

12:54 am

Lizlin

Well spotted!

12:54 am

mymuseisme

neater

12:54 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Rose

12:55 am

Albeit

Hmmm. Who would know about Jacula?

12:55 am

grannyrose

sorry for the loss of your beloved Chuckie. prayers of consolation and comfort smom.

12:55 am

gapeach

I am so sorry. I had to have one of my little rescue dogs put down today and am doing a lot of crying. So I know what mean.

12:56 am

Lizlin

So sorry, Sammysmom and peach

12:56 am

sammysmom

thank you gapeach. i am sorry about your baby too

12:56 am

grannyrose

aww peach, honey. praying for you also. xoxox

12:56 am

cybernan

on 8 and really off to bed this time...

12:56 am

sammysmom

thanks liz.. chuckie bossed us around for a long time

12:57 am

mymuseisme

Hugs, sammysmom and gapeach! Losing our little friends is not easy.

12:57 am

Lizlin

There's an extra word in Lickety's list - I've let him know but as soon as anyone knows the extra word, please post it in the chat.

12:58 am

sammysmom

we will have him vremated and he will be on the mantle with sammy // his brother who died after a coyote attack... and my husband , walter 1 who died last feb...

12:58 am

gapeach

I am having a tough time concentrating. My eyes are swollen badly.

12:58 am

Albeit

Peach - why did you have to put one of your rescue dogs down?

12:58 am

sammysmom

thanks muse

12:59 am

helenkeller

Albeit - I would be interested in knowing who you are. My email is in my profile. I, for one, will totally stand up for Jacs. There were many, many chatters back then & she was certainly not near the top. I continue to be friends with her. She has done some research on UK items for me & has been nothing but a delight. I'm glad to stand up for my friends.

12:59 am

gapeach

Oh, smom, that is a sweet gesture. I always have my little ones cremated

1:00 am

sammysmom

i understand peach.. it was especially hard to see walter 11.. he has had so many losses these last few years and chuckie helped himto focus

1:00 am

grannyrose

helen, see me at 12:54

1:01 am

broll

don't know the word in Lickety, but it is an 8-letter

1:01 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Broll. I'll let him know

1:02 am

Albeit

Helen - your photo looks like a bio pic for your next book.

1:02 am

Albeit

Good luck with that.

1:02 am

helenkeller

grose - yes, I saw that. But, to me this is not a troll. This is a member of our group, who for whatever reason, does not feel safe using their own identity. Anyway, I made my statement & that's it for me.

1:02 am

gapeach

Albiet, he was diabetic and had 2 surgeries for kidney stones ( one was a imbedded in him). I was his seeing-eye-person.

1:02 am

broll

thank you for keeping me (us) from searching and searching and . . .

1:03 am

Albeit

that sucks Peach.

1:03 am

Lizlin

I just wondered why his "Clues are up" prompt hadn't appeared so I checked to see if his list was up.

1:03 am

jwr

peach, dear - see Grannyrose at 12:54

1:04 am

sammysmom

OFF TO BED my eyes are too red to see...nite all and God bless.

1:04 am

Lizlin

Sleep well

1:04 am

1:11 am

Albeit

did I create a great dysfunctional order in your society?

1:11 am

Albeit

Nope.

1:12 am

Albeit

The response is a bit over the top.

1:13 am

rbud

nobody here likes confrontational stuff. kind of why I like it here.

1:13 am

Albeit

One person called me a "troll" warns all the rest to steer clear of me and they all fall in line. Interesting.

1:14 am

jwr

rbud - see Grannyrose 12:54

1:14 am

Christine

Albeit, have you

1:14 am

Albeit

here we go - thanks JWR

1:15 am

Christine

Ignore that --I rethought my position on troubled people

1:16 am

grannyrose

albeit, it's okay dear. you keep chattering away. the rest of us will get on with our lives.

1:16 am

helenkeller

No Albeit, that's not quite what happened. You came on here, using a new member icon, bad-mouthing someone who is well liked by (almost) everyone. You make reference to 2005, as if you are an old timer, yet you make a bad splash right off the bat. I offered you my e-mail. That was an extension of friendship. We are all of our own minds on here, I said my piece and that's it's. None of this is towing a line.

1:17 am

Albeit

I intend to

1:17 am

rbud

oh, I don't need warned, have been seeing this nightly for days now...

1:18 am

Albeit

Jacula was never a "kind soul".

1:19 am

helenkeller

Oh rbud, that's sad to hear. I'm not even slightly tempted to read the archives.

1:20 am

jwr

long history on this site. I have found that best way to deal is to not engage no matter what. Idea is to provoke you and stir up nastiness. Sick, lonely people, best elsewhere.

1:20 am

Lizlin

Totally agree.

1:20 am

Albeit

I think some of you have the idea that I am someone other than I say I am....like another player? I feel pretty bad about that. I feel bad for whoever you think that is.

1:21 am

rbud

*insert eyeroll here*

1:22 am

Christine

Albeit , you didn't like Jacula? Felt s

1:23 am

Christine

Drat, typing on the phone is the pits. I give up; back to lurking in the shadows

1:24 am

Albeit

Felt s - don't know what you mean

1:24 am

jwr

Ah, well. Off to work. Nite all (with exception to whom I bid final farewell. Again, only response to trolls - however long it takes - is to ignore. Spot name and don't bother reading.

1:25 am

helenkeller

niters jwr

1:25 am

Lizlin

Have a good night jwr

1:26 am

jwr

happy babbling after 2 toughies

1:26 am

jwr

*poof*

1:28 am

Albeit

Can Babble people be welcoming? Yes. Can they get very hostile? Yes. Is any of it really warranted? Who's to say?

1:31 am

Albeit

Helen came out of the woodwork for Jacula. Jac should feel proud.

1:32 am

helenkeller

hk is also outta here. Niters all.

1:33 am

Albeit

Nice book cover. Is that you or are you just a really big fan of the author?

1:34 am

Albeit

or both?

1:45 am

Albeit

Hmmm. Some people like their privacy and anonymity.

1:46 am

Albeit

Others really love the spotlight and attention.

1:49 am

Albeit

Some are just fine being in between.

1:51 am

SueMagee

In a grid this big is it wrong to regret the words that ARENâ€™T there?

2:00 am

sprite

yayyy a big grid, just what the doctor ordered

2:00 am

sprite

lol Sue... of course not. Phantoms are phantoms, no matter how big the grid ;)

2:01 am

SueMagee

Oh, thatâ€™s a relief. I was feeling greedy!

2:01 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:01 am

SueMagee

Howâ€™s the ankle, sprite?

2:02 am

sprite

healing, I trust. Walking goes easier than I thought and I try to find the right balance between resting and moving.

2:02 am

sprite

thanks for asking! How are you doing today?

2:03 am

SueMagee

Iâ€™m fine, thanks, sprite and Iâ€™m delighted that you are healing.

2:03 am

SueMagee

2:04 am

Wow, brand new account
today and causes chaos already. Hiya folks
...those I know. The time stamp isn't on posts!

2:22 am

sprite

it is, if you slide the button to the right. HIya Kam *hugs*, let's not feed it.

2:22 am

Kamanjah

sorry!

2:23 am

Kamanjah

Oh, ok. The internet has been a mess
all day, and I just came back

2:23 am

sprite

hehehe no biggie

2:23 am

sprite

ugh, that sucks, honey. Glad to see you are back.

2:26 am

sprite

looks like it is gone

2:27 am

sprite

I emailed drG, maybe he kicked it

2:28 am

Kamanjah

How are you feeling? Better, I hope!

2:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

2:29 am

sprite

I feel good! Was a bit low yesterday evening and my beloved decided we are gonna go to a movie tomorrow afternoon :D Already bought the tickets, and it definitely lifts my spirit. I need to get out every now and then, I think.

2:29 am

sprite

hiya lickety, thanks, as ever. You da best

2:31 am

Kamanjah

M went to see dad again today.
Supposed to come home tomorrow.
Hope so...spring is here and the
flowers are lovely!

2:32 am

sprite

that is a great thing :)
Glad you are enjoying the Spring
Fingers crossed Michael will
come home tomorrow. How
is his dad?

2:35 am

Kamanjah

don't know - they were going out for dinner
and I know he has been over tired lately.
He's been sleeping 10-15 hours a day.
I'll find out how dad is tomorrow...wish
I could pack up and go, but there are
critters to be taken care of here at home.

2:35 am

rbud

apropo of part of the evening, I spy a phantom - "nastier"

2:36 am

sprite

I think it is a blessing for your
beloved to know that you have
his back and are taking care of
things at home, so that he can
focus on his dad

2:36 am

sprite

lol rbud, so appropriate!
*hugs*
How are you doing today?

2:37 am

Kamanjah

Hi rbud!

2:38 am

Christine

Thank you, Lickety. Dang, what happened to the space and the font size?

2:38 am

rbud

oh, having a good day, physically. Only a little cramping and bloating, Some trouble breathing, but today is a good day for that. How long after one quits smoking do things get somewhat better, I wonder.

2:38 am

sprite

kimmydee's alterego albeit messed
it up to troll us. It will go back to
normal in a little while

2:39 am

rbud

My lickety looks normal, is that what you mean, Christine?

2:39 am

Kamanjah

Congrats on quitting, rbud! It's one of the
hardest things to stop.

2:39 am

sprite

about 5 years, I heard, rbud :(
Glad you are having an okayish day.
*healing vibes to your whole you*

2:39 am

rbud

oh, here in chat? wow, that looks normal to me, too. I must just be lucky.

2:40 am

Kamanjah

As soon as we fill up the chog
with regular conversation, things
will return to normal

2:40 am

sprite

the worst post is already gone. Just a few more to go and we will lose the slide button.

2:40 am

sprite

ah, there we are. All good now.

2:40 am

Kamanjah

Yay!

2:40 am

SueMagee

Well done, sprite!

2:41 am

Christine

When I thanked Lickety, the font was triple dized, and the space stretched for miles .. All okay now.

2:41 am

sprite

am gob-smacked that someone actually wants to pay money just to troll us here. It does show dedication ;)

2:43 am

Kamanjah

When I found this site, the first two weeks were free...now I hear there's no charge, but since I paid a few bucks several years ago, don't know.

2:43 am

Kamanjah

But, Sprite, I agree...who would want to troll Babble?!!!

2:44 am

sprite

people who desperately need some kind of life, I think.

2:47 am

sprite

hm it does look like there is no fee for going pro anymore. That is a shame. Much easier for trolls to keep going.

2:49 am

Christine

We'll outlast him, sprite -- we always do.

2:49 am

sprite

we have weathered worse here, haven't we! You are right, Christine, we will.

2:51 am

Christine

D'you remember the terible time when we thought a young man had died -- it was JC, and his idiot partner.

2:52 am

sprite

I remember it well. That was a bad time. Especially when lots of people still thought they were for real, and got mad at the babblers who already said it was a troll. But somehow we have managed to heal our community and it is stronger than ever.

2:53 am

Kamanjah

M's daughter's wedding is April 19 in the Lake Tahoe area - will be a long weekend, and we're hoping there isn't any weather to contend with! Getting cables for the car just in case of snow. It's hard to decide what to wear! I'm not part of the wedding party, but she wants me dressed up for photos. Bad timing for this post...

2:54 am

sprite

wow, that is a challenge, Kam. I think dressing in layers should work.

2:55 am

Kamanjah

I planned layers, but she didn't like the idea. Her mother will be there...omg, so awkward! I'll just have to shed warm layers for her photos, or she'll have to live with the real step-mother who loves her...

2:57 am

sprite

yeah, that's what I meant. Dress in layers, then shed most of it for the pictures, and then put it all back on quickly, lol.

2:59 am

Christine

Kamanjah, doesnt't Lake Tahoe have an online site, where you can check on the weather forecast?

3:00 am

Kamanjah

When I told her what I planned to wear, she asked me to dress up more - we've already spent more than we can afford for hotel, tux rental and dog boarding...and it's Easter weekend. I'm not spending money on a bride's mom type dress - I don't dress up well and can't wear heels.

3:01 am

Kamanjah

Christine - the weather changes so quickly in the Sierras! The forecast has said sunny and we've driven through snow flurries several times.

3:01 am

sprite

honey, she will have to accept you the way you are. It shouldn't be about how you dress up. You being there, that is what counts. Overspending is painful, to say the least.

3:03 am

Kamanjah

I intend to get a nice lace or velvet bolero to wear over a lovely strapless dress, and will have comfy shoes on my feet. If that's not good enough, I'm sorry! I should look just fine, except my age is really starting to show...but that's just life.

3:04 am

sprite

wear your age with honour, sweetie, and know that you are beautiful.

3:05 am

Christine

Aging IS fine --- and it sure beats the alternative.

3:05 am

sprite

ain't that the truth, lol!

3:06 am

Kamanjah

I wish the mirror still said that back to me! But still being here is good!

3:06 am

Kamanjah

I can't wear eye makeup - maybe I should buy new stuff and see if I can stand it for a few hours?

3:07 am

sprite

it all depends on how you look at that mirror. If you want to see a wrinkle-less young thing, you will be disappointed. If you are willing to see a beautiful elderly lady, who went through a lot and wears it with honour, you will see how beautiful you really are.

3:08 am

sprite

nah, better go without that risk some allergic reaction. Imagine your eyes swelling up and going red and all.

3:08 am

Kamanjah

Actually, the mirror is much more kind to me than cameras are!

3:09 am

sprite

oh I do not photograph well either. I always look like a very dumb result of generations of incest.

3:09 am

Kamanjah

Plus all the possible pollen mid April! Allergies have been driving me crazy all day - it finally stopped raining and everything is budding and blooming outside. Even the cats were sneezing all day!

3:10 am

sprite

I'd say you should try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. It will be a long weekend, and feeling miserable is not going to make you look any better. Wear what you feel good in and you will look awesome.

3:11 am

Kamanjah

I just look bald...am considering cutting bangs, but don't want to deal with them growing out again. When my hair is short, it is very curly.

3:12 am

sprite

do you have a friend who is a hairdresser, maybe? Have her braid your hair in something that will hold for the weekend?

3:12 am

Christine

At 82, I still look 30. My secret is to close my eyes, whenever a mirror looms. That said, I'm probably healthier than I was at 20, and I'm looking forward to the next 20 years ... being a couch potato helps, 'cos I don't often oass a mutror.

3:12 am

Kamanjah

I agree, Sprite! That's what I told her...and she brought up photos. Oh well, I'm just the step-mom, she knows me and will be fine.

3:13 am

sprite

am sitting here with a huge smile of my face, Christine. I LOVE your post. You are woman, hear you ROARRRRRRR!

3:14 am

sprite

you are not 'just' the step-mom, Kam. You are a woman who loves her, just the way she is. That is priceless.

3:14 am

Kamanjah

Braids used to be my go-to when I was younger, but now...no. I'm just going to blow the hair as fluffy as I can and curl it - after I get about 4" cut off the ends.

3:15 am

sprite

sounds like a plan

3:16 am

Kamanjah

It's HER big day! I just hope her mother behaves! That woman can be a real handful.

3:17 am

Kamanjah

Our plan in case of her acting up is to just remind her it's her daughter's special day. And zip lips.

3:17 am

sprite

since we do not have control over how other people behave, I hope you can leave it be for now... worrying does not help. Lol, someone recently said to me: worrying is just meditating on shit.

3:19 am

Kamanjah

Not worried, have only one thing to say if she pulls any of her usual - "Let your daughter have her special day." Smile and walk away.

3:19 am

sprite

that should do it :)

3:22 am

thanks for that - I've gotten to where I usually check the word count if I list.

3:26 am

Kamanjah

Grats, Sprite! Have a lovely day!

3:26 am

yvw. I used the list for the last few and noticed. *hugs* to my friends, to you all a blessed day and a peaceful night, and *hug* in chog for rose to fine.

3:41 am

Lizlin

Lickety reposted his list at 2.29.Not sure which list Sprite was using.

3:42 am

grannyrose

bye lovely sprite and thanx for the hug... lizgirl, i have emailed lickety to tell him of the extra word.

3:42 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™ve already done that too.

3:42 am

Lizlin

Thatâ€™s why he reposted.

3:43 am

grannyrose

*giggle* ahhh, i see.

3:44 am

Lizlin

However Sprite also said there was an extra word (3.25) so Iâ€™m not sure if his new list is also incorrect, so I emailed again.

3:44 am

grannyrose

nope, the ta8/45 is still there

3:45 am

Lizlin

So which word was in his origlist?

3:45 am

Lizlin

Original list

3:45 am

grannyrose

the ta8/45

3:45 am

Lizlin

But the number of words is now correct, before it wasnâ€™t.

3:46 am

Lizlin

Weâ€™re there ta 8 x 2?

3:46 am

grannyrose

my guess he has removed the wrong one

3:47 am

Lizlin

Itâ€™d be useful to know which word has gone!

3:47 am

grannyrose

i'll go through my list of words, and check which one is no on his list.

3:47 am

Lizlin

Thatâ€™d be great

3:48 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™ve still got 90 left.

3:53 am

grannyrose

would you like a list of the 8's?

3:55 am

Lizlin

Yes pls

So true Molly. Guess Iâ€™m a little rusty as i havenâ€™t been here for quite some time. Caught the quilting bug.

7:30 am

MollyL

I love quilts. I am hopeless with a needle and thread though, so I enjoy the works of others.

7:37 am

SeaSpray

Itâ€™s a challenge but have learned a lot over the las 4 years. Sew with a friend and we have a lot of fun. Getting ready to go to a quilt show in Pigeon Forge. Beautiful quilts on display there.

7:39 am

MollyL

Hasn't quilting always been a social thing for women? We have an Amish market in my town and their quilts are beautiful.

Ssshh, Bich. You are disproving the belief that all Americans are armed and gun crazy.
: D

12:35 pm

cybernan

molly - I would make the same remark to any emigree, no matter the nationality

12:37 pm

aslindy

just becauce a person exerciese their right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean they are crazy

12:38 pm

cybernan

sorry aslindy but we will have to agree to disagree -- I don't see the need for any private citizen to be in possession of a handgun, much less an assault rifle or repeat firing weapon

12:39 pm

aslindy

so you think that makes them crazy?

12:40 pm

cybernan

no, not crazy, but unwise and not someone I would have any desire to associate with

12:42 pm

mael

My husband is a gun owner (to my chagrin) and I still think most gun owners are nuts

12:42 pm

aslindy

I guess we will disagree, then

12:43 pm

cybernan

yeah - so are most husbands :D

12:43 pm

mael

he grew up hunting and enjoys target shooting, so that's why he still has them. We have a gun safe and all. If he started carrying a weapon for "protection" I'd be outta here.

12:44 pm

mael

hah nan, I'd amend that to spouses to cover all bases ;)

12:44 pm

cybernan

I understand that some people like to hunt and if the game is used to feed oneself fine -- but that doesn't require a hand gun nor an automatic weapon

12:46 pm

mael

I agree, but I'm european so this is all crazy to me

12:53 pm

cybernan

need to take a break - bye for now

12:58 pm

NatashaW

Changing the subject... :-) Is there anyone on here who is aiming to complete this grid without listing? Just curious. Ruru?

NatashaW

I try to avoid it as long as possible but don't think I have ever completed a grid without some resorting thereto

1:11 pm

aslindy

I also use MoreWords, because no one wants to give that many clues!

1:12 pm

aslindy

of course, I do as much as I can without that or the list

1:14 pm

aslindy

I wonder how many people are even going to try to complete it?
