Griffums

And everything old is new again.
My prediction: 311 wds
My prediction after looking at grid: I dunno
12:01 am
harpjane

311? I hope not!
12:02 am
hootowl

No one yet?
12:02 am
Griffums

Well, we haven't had a real killer in a while. And Babble would not be kind and do that on a weekend. So we're sort of overdue.
12:02 am
hootowl

aah
12:03 am
Deutsch

Hi all,
I'm not usually awake for the flip, But I can't sleep tonight
12:03 am
hootowl

Oh please no. No time to live here!
12:03 am
harpjane

HAH! 174!
12:04 am
harpjane

nice harp, deutsch!
12:04 am
Griffums

Hi deutsch. I have too much other work tonight to play, just waiting to see what's the damage.
12:04 am
GreyWoulf

Hi again -- only 174 -- just wanted to see what was here -- gonna be up for at least the next 2 hours -- will be popping in and out :)
12:04 am
hootowl

That sounds doable. Even has a useable Q!
12:05 am
Griffums

Well, that's doable. But I'm off to work for a while. A volunteer's work is never done, I guess that's why they call it volunteering. (otherwise they'd call it 'work that never gets done,' and who would volunteer for a dumb idea like that?) Later, all.
12:05 am
Deutsch

Grey! How is baby and mother?
12:06 am
Deutsch

Later griffums! I'd like to hear about your volunteer work some time!
12:06 am
GreyWoulf

Doing well, Deutsch -- -though Mom is getting very lonely and impatient to come home -- that is why I will be in and out -- trying ot get last minute prep for homecoming done :)
12:06 am
Griffums

Read all about it, deutsch -
www.friendsofpets.org
Also known as my personal bottomless cause for the last 10 years. Good stuff!
12:07 am
Deutsch

Love, hugs, and kisses for all the family! Welcome home, Mother!
12:08 am
GreyWoulf

I will make sure to pass them on, Deustch, thanks (*hug*)
12:10 am
Deutsch

Griffums, I have bookmarked your remarkable site. You and pets get lots of hugs, too!
12:10 am
Deutsch

(((grey and family)))
12:11 am
sprite

Morning dear gang!
*extra hug for Woulf and family*
How are things today?
12:12 am
GreyWoulf

Pretty good -- reasonable board, and the usual last minute frenzy of work to prep for homecoming :D
12:13 am

12:16 am
GreyWoulf

yes, sprite -- especially after I start my new job -- then the only times I will reasonably be able to be around this late will be on the weekends --- but all will be in my thoughts as well :)
12:16 am
zubie

12:16 am
Deutsch

Hi Debs,

((*GW*)) Are the family all home yet?? Send them my love xxx
12:21 am
GreyWoulf

it the only one I've got -- I didn't notice it mentioned before so I prob duplicated :)
12:22 am
Deutsch

Hi Lotti, I, too, think of my babble friends though out the day. ((( lotti)))
12:22 am
GreyWoulf

Just means you verified the keg was good before sharing ;D
12:28 am

Sorry guys, have to take a break, need to get my kids moving, dressed, fed and ready for school. Well, actually they can do it all by themselves, but somehow they appreciate my attention when they go about their business ;)

Hi everyone! special Hi to Sprite - long time no chat! The log is less intimidating at this hour than it will be by the time i wake up tomorrow, so I thought I'd take a peek..

Yes, close but no cigar :(
I have been in a grid though, not so long ago :)

This left uppercorner is driving me nuts, btw. If that L had been an S, I think I would have found at least 50 extra words by now.

undisturbed, she says --- Ha!

Believe me, in a week or so, you will agree wholeheartedly that this was undisturbed. But you won't mind :)

Compound word.

Good morning, everyone. Have the laws of Babble been suspended??? I just typed in fe6/30 which shouldn't exist in this grid because it means using the 'e' twice. (I typed it in to get it out of my system.) Lo and behold, after much thought, it was accepted ??!!!
8:11 am

Never mind, the world is back on an even keel. I refreshed, and fe6/30 disappeared. Oh, well, it was an exciting moment in an otherwise, dull, grey morning.

Sorry to hear about your back. That is a terrible pain. Bye mama.

Thanks, Musicmom. Waiting to start physical therapy for it on the 10th of Feb. (that is if the insurance company approves it. Rat bastards refused chiropractic, so I'm in the begging and finger crossing mode now).

HMO Judy?
10:25 am
Judi

Unfortunately, yes, Lupe. Blue Cross HMO used to be really accomodating. I guess they had a changing of the guard recently because it's suddenly like pulling teeth to get referrals approved. Meanwhile, they're happy to keep paying for my prescription pain meds. Go figure.
10:26 am
Lupe613

I've the same Blue Cross Blue Shield Advantage HMO - not sure what "advantage" they're referring to....

I think HMO stands for "How May we Overcharge you"?

I adore your icon, Caitlyn. It's pink! and quite a pretty setting for such droll ducks.

Miy: I have a feeling you will not lose your sense of who you are, or have it distorted by boys. This is key, I think. I read back in the log about the hair-pulling -- what a brute! So glad you had bf there to advocate for you when you must have been, to say the least, startled.

Eastern, your icon is as precious as you are.

You're the second person to say that, Peri. I will post the second letter list in my profile, as missy did the other day. Just give me a sec.
12:18 pm
EvaNadine

rather surprised at a certain TW4 thats in the puzzle today...
wow
12:19 pm
periwinkle

evanadine, hadn't noticed that word til I saw your post, it has been in puzzles before
12:19 pm
mab

okay. second letter list is in my handbag.
12:20 pm
kristinc

Eva...just arrived. I see you settled on Daisy. Nice choice!
12:20 pm
EvaNadine

i understand some of the slang we use is often a real word meaning something else...
but when even the dictionary defines it as slang--and vulgar, at that--and it has no other meaning, does it really have to be in the puzzle then?

i mean, i thought slang wasnt supposed to be acceptable...
12:20 pm
EvaNadine

kristinc -- seemed to be the fave last night, so i appeased the masses.
;)
12:21 pm
mab

You know good old Disable, evana -- no rhyme or reason.
12:21 pm
Babbler

hi EvaNadine : )

I'd say the same about the C word that's always accepted. Never acceptable in my book!! : /
12:21 pm
EvaNadine

heh, truly!
12:21 pm

Back from lunch.
12:22 pm

i agree babbler!
i had a friend who thought he was being funny + called me that...he didnt think it was so funny when he had my handprint across his face!
12:22 pm

Back for more babbling - boss is out for the rest of the afternoon!
12:23 pm
jaelithej

Hmm sometimes I think it's good to have offensive slang in the puzzle. Sometimes people use offensive words without really knowing their history or what they really mean . . . looking it up in the dictionary might give some people pause before they use the word again.
12:23 pm
Siamese Lady

anyone else having problems with opening babblers annon?
12:24 pm
Babbler

A lot of swear words have lost their meaning. Except for the C word. Still seems to be as offensive as ever.
12:24 pm
mab

hi Lupe!

Fabulous, evana!
12:24 pm
jaelithej

Then again, that would require people to actually look the words up . . .
12:24 pm
EvaNadine

i have no problem with offensive words that have a meaning/hitory outside of being offensive -- as many of them do.

i just take issues with the ones like todays that were created soleley to be offensive...
i cant help it.
12:25 pm
Babbler

I don't mind today's, it sounds so funny. But the C word, I have a problem with.
12:25 pm
mab

I think I understand, eva. The racial/ethnic slurs make my skin crawl.
12:25 pm
Siamese Lady

can someone tell me the word count?
12:25 pm

theres a very funny term using todays offensive word...hehe

Thanks Periwinkle. I can't open the babs anon today for some reason.
12:27 pm
periwinkle

I couldn't either
12:27 pm
Babbler

no evanadine, I haven't!! : )
A lot of comedians use today's word. It just sounds so funny! And in the north west of England, where I'm from, it has changed its meaning to a sharp slap or good thump! : )
12:28 pm
EvaNadine

in the movie, they refer to the male appendage as a TW**cicle

hehe
12:31 pm
EvaNadine

i guess its much like any other derrogatory term...
with african-americans and the N word...
women and, well, several words, but mainly the B word...
each group seems to have the one word that they are trying to turn around and give new meaning to -- if you are within that group, using the word has a certain kind of power, but having it said to you it has another kind of power entirely.
basically, whichever word it is, if youre not part of that group, you really cant use it, even in jest. maybe *especially* in jest...
12:35 pm

got over 100, taking a break, may be back later. This is the last time I will be able to play at this time of day
:(. going back to work tomorrow. Been out for two months with my knee injury and then knee surgery. Not looking foward to it.
12:36 pm

That reminds me of a news item about Britain curtailing fox-hunting; the RSPCA or someone pointed out that allowing dogs to rip apart foxes is cruel.

Some old blueblood fatty replied 'then I shall hunt with bitches!' meaning that dogs are male.
12:37 pm

I will be able to play on weekend and sometimes after work if I am not too tired. It's been great fun though playing as much as I want to every day.

Yes Mab, hack up everything in your throat when your congested, and there you go! New word of the day!
1:13 pm

1:13 pm
Atalante

I'm sooo glad I asked now! *giggles*
1:14 pm

mab,
i always though it had stuff in it. otherwise it would be called just sp4. so it's sp4 plus so much more.
(if you say that last part out loud it rhymes)
1:14 pm

Favorite word of the day: fr4/10, the dance. Unless it has some other vile meaning.

When I was a kid, boys enjoyed sucking on balled up bits of paper and then sp4ing it. Boys and men sp4 so much, at least in the us. I don't understand the need.
1:18 pm
Lupe613

So, smaller, how's the weather?
1:18 pm
mab

1:18 pm

1:41 pm

What is the correct term for a group of ducks?

There are several different terms used to refer to a group of ducks. Mostly, it depends on what species of ducks are in the group. Paddling, skiff, raft, team and dopping are just some of the terms used.

It also depends on whether the group is on the ground or in flight. For example, a group of mallard ducks on the ground is call a “sord”, but when in flight, it is called a “flock” (as are all ducks in flight).

5:44 pm
KRISTINAROSE333

Nan- add two vowels at the end
5:44 pm
Jacula

The other ta5/18 uses the same first 3 letters as the other but has a short 'for example/for instance' to end it.
5:48 pm

si6/18 - archaic past tense of what you did when you got to your chair to play this game. If that doesn't work, try this: If you fall instantly in love with something/someone you could be said to be smi***. Take out the start of the fingerless glove!

Help. This is my last word. pe 5/12 , the one in the middle of the pe's right after another 5/12. Can someone help me???
7:15 pm
inge

Its just above the one meaning small
7:16 pm
Vicuna

right before the pe5 as in pe- point, there is a pe 5 that's a boy's name (my son, in fact) as in "to pe- out"
7:16 pm
Jacula

pe5/12 - Boy's name meaning 'rock'. If something is dwindling, it may be said to pe*** out. Think The Who's Pe** Townshend.
7:18 pm
inge

I have that "boy". My list shows another 5/12 right below it
7:19 pm
Jacula

Do you have the pe6/21 meaning 'Small'? If so, the work you seek has no vowel at the end.
7:20 pm
Vicuna

there are 4 pe5/12's: hammer heads, boys, small (as in pe-- point), and a woman's slip or p--coat (but without the coat)

I'm back...tr6? and last te5/12?...please.
7:24 pm
Jacula

Hi Tim. Last te5/12 is the plural of the te4 before it.
7:26 pm
Jacula

tr6/30 is all of the word above it + something you say when 'the lightbulb of enlightenment' goes on in your head.
7:26 pm
Vicuna

the last te5/12 would be its own name if there were ten of them...
7:27 pm
Jacula

BTW, Hello Vicuna. Excuse my manners! Everytime I see your name I think of my beloved pine table and chairs because it was my first set of new furniture and was bought from a firm with the same name as yours. It's still doing good service nearly 30 years on.
7:28 pm
Tim

thank you jac and vic..dont know how I missed that tr6. yeah right!!!
7:29 pm
Vicuna

Hello, Jacula. My goodness, I was thinking of the South American quadruped... But I guess tables and chairs are quadrupeds, too.
7:29 pm
Jacula

But, Tim, surely the wa7/60 has to be the daftest word of the day?
7:30 pm
Jacula

Vicuna - educate me. What quadruped is that?
7:31 pm
Tim

Yes I'm very good at wa7/60...have it mastered
7:32 pm
Vicuna

Actually, at least the wa7 is in my dictionary, but there's no sign of that tr6. After all, I'm constantly commenting on the delicious wa7 emanating from the Indian restaurant in town... (Except maybe not in those very words.)
7:32 pm
Jacula

Tim - I had no idea you were Royalty! LOL. (You DID mean the offical word, didn't you?? Looks *shocked*.)

It's the vicuna, of course! :) It's in the same family as llamas and guanacos.

Can't concentrate I'm afraid. Too much excitement for one day. My youngest son's wife gave birth to a gorgeous son this morning. We went to the hospital this afternoon and I had a cuddle.
No name yet, because according to a scan, they were told it was to be a girl, and only chose a girls name, so now Amelia Jane won't do now!!
7:36 pm
Jacula

Vicuna - I will Google it! It's very educational is Babble; not only do your learn the meanings of new (and sometimes weird) words, but you get to talk to people from all over the world and learn from them also. What could be better?
7:36 pm
Vicuna

Maybe Emil John? Congratulations!

Congratulations, Ex-Wren! That's wonderful news.

Speaking of children, I need to go start another load of laundry. Does anyone need any clues before I go?

Sorry Vicuna - I was off seeing to laundry. LOL. I don't need any clues, thanks.

No, I know you've been done for ages, Jacula! But there are usually lots of silent types struggling away. I am usually one of them.

musicmom

sa 4/8 what a fresh cut log is....
7:47 pm
Tim

thats me ......waving and struggling....lol..:)
7:47 pm
Vicuna

sp6/33 - one who sp4/9's (in the spirit of the day, an infant might well be one of these!)
sa8 - compound word: jaggedy edges on a wood-cutting implement
7:47 pm
Jacula

sa8 - saw a gret clue for this earlier in the day - 'What would bite your hand if you put it into a carpenter's toolbox'.
7:48 pm
Jacula

*or even a greAt clue.

hi tim!
7:52 pm
Jacula

MusicMom - Maths isn't my forte. I have to try to remember that the times on Babble are about 6 hours behind the time here in UK.
7:53 pm
musicmom

I'm in the Eastern Time Zone it is 8:52 p.m. here. Greg and I usually play PS2 or watch t.v. from 9 - 11 (after the kids go to bed). He watches t.v. until 11;30 so I usually check back in then. Haven't been around much today. The puzzle seems easier than the past couple.
7:54 pm
Mary

Anyone have a clue for the we6/36, please?
7:56 pm
Jacula

we6/36 builds off the two words before it - means 'very small'.
7:57 pm
musicmom

So what time is it there Jac?
7:58 pm
Vicuna

Oooh! Husband caught an earlier flight and is home already! Bye, all!
7:58 pm
Jacula

MusicMom - the grid hasn't been too bad today. Having said that, I guess it depends on how long you've been Babbling (so got to know the weirder words to look out for) or if you have the 'DisAble' dictionary (LOL) or you're just very knowledgeable about words.
7:58 pm
musicmom

Thanks, Jacula, got it.
8:00 pm
musicmom

<g> why are you out of bed? hehee.
8:00 pm
Tim

I agree Hurshy
8:02 pm
Jacula

Why am I out of bed? Because I'm busy.
8:04 pm
Jacula

le5/18 & le8 both build from the same basis. For le5, think of the first name of the author of 'Alice In Wonderland' (Mr. Carroll). The le8 builds on that - think of Eisenhower's nickname but change the middle letter.
8:05 pm
Jacula

Mary - y/w.
8:06 pm
Tim

thanks jac, those are just silly!
8:08 pm
Jacula

le5/18 - A dovetailed iron tenon made of several parts and designed to fit into a dovetail mortise in a large stone so that it can be lifted by a hoisting apparatus.

le8/60 - An oily, colorless to violet or brown liquid, C2H2AsCl3, used to make a highly toxic gas weapon.
8:09 pm
Jacula

Tim - Not as silly as they seem at first.
8:09 pm
Tim

le8 sounds like some nasty stuff!
8:10 pm
Jacula

Tim - I was going to type, 'You live and learn' but, given the le8 maybe not!:-(

Hi all. Sushi here. Ok, Jac. for those of us who are not American I will need another hint other than Eisenhower's nickname. And thanks for including the chemical name for Le60
8:20 pm
Jacula

Hiya Sushi. I'm from UK, but I try to to UK clues when UK peeps are around. Okay, for the ending of the Mr. Carroll word, think short form of Michael and take off the first letter.
8:22 pm
Jacula

(Ending also sounds like what singers sing through to make their voices heard.)
8:23 pm
Sushi

got it thanks! and here's to words that end in OUR
8:24 pm
Jacula

Sushi - where are you from?
8:25 pm
Sushi

Canada but living in the deep south USA.
8:25 pm
Jacula

Sushi - I woulnd't mind betting that if you Googled 'Eisenhower's nickname' you'd have got the answer though.
8:26 pm
Jacula

My fave band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, were from the South.
8:26 pm
Sushi

with all these hints it now occured to me. *** and Tina turner. Just not feeling too worldly tonight.
8:27 pm
Sushi

Go Lynyrd. My fav band was from UK - Stones.
8:29 pm
Jacula

You're right! I'm usually the one that gives musical clues. It would have been a far easier way of saying it!

(((HUGS))) if you're feeling a bit down though.
8:30 pm
Jacula

Free Bird - my fave song of all time. (I'm nearly 49 now, so I reckon I'll not be changing my mind about that.)

The Stones - brill!
8:30 pm
Sushi

Just kicking myself, since this was my night to go to bed early and here I am babbling about.
8:31 pm
Jacula

BTW, it's the live version of Free Bird I love the best. 'What do you wanna hear?' and all that.
8:31 pm
Sushi

Hey your age in not old - just clasic. Note that I am the same age.
8:32 pm
Jacula

Sushi - if you want to sleep then don't feel obliged to stay here. However, if you continue kicking yourself, I recommend Arnica for bruises. LOL.
8:33 pm
Sushi

Yep. My score is *high enough* tonight. So good nite all.
8:33 pm
Jacula

Classic, eh? Must remember to tell my other half that!

Goodnight, Sushi. Nice to meet you.

Oh no, Jacula; that's 'voluntary' here. It's strictly up to the corporate conscience.

Ah, voluntary! Like rebuilding Philly after Katrina then?

8:51 pm
Jacula

EB - I 'could' say a lot of things here about why I believe the US gov has done nothing for Philly. Some (many) are monetary reasons, others *may* have to do with race. However, the Babblelog is not the place to voice these thoughts. So, there you have it from a'white Caucasian' Brit!
8:53 pm
mab

EB: The Way You Look Tonight, Let Yourself Go, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, I Can't Be Bothered Now, Slap that Bass, Bojangles off Harlem, Top Hat and Tails, Pick Yourself Up, Shall We Dance, and a few others. I like this CD a lot. You get to hear him tap, too.

the fact of katrina - she hit at a catagory 1 not 5. the funds for the levy reinforcement were actually spent on graft and corrpution, and on having a really good time by many louisiana officials. some of our our tax money is currently paying for drugs, prostiution, and nights in the clubs. if you are not in houston and having little old women murdered by some of the katrina evacuees...please don;t balme the pres - nola flooded becasuse the gove funds originally slated for the levey were ill spent. or if you are afraid to go to your car or have your chiildren play outside because 44 rapist and child molestors were sent to houston and have not been found....there i've said enough.....

10:19 pm

Eventually, I will find the perfect clue to give for this one. In the meantime, I'll chill out listening to Elton John's 'Your Song'. Happy memories from my teens!
10:26 pm
Jacula

teenaged dreams from back in N. Wales, doing the old house up etc. There was an ivy tree growing up through the middle of that house. We aren't together now, but neither of us has lost the dreamabout that particular house.
10:27 pm

And for anyone who's reading through curiousity - we never did marry! Shared dreams don't always mean that!

Jac: You had a good relationship with a person. Don't have to explain. Marriage isn't always what it is suppose to be cracked up to be. Enjoy, whatever.
10:31 pm
Jacula

Not much else to say on that saubject now anyway, unless the music reminds me.
10:33 pm
Jacula

Hiya Jojo. Sorry for the fall-out the other night. The marriage I had certainly was not all I had hoped. The relationship I have now is the very best though. I've hoped and waited a long time, but, eventually. HE arrived.
10:34 pm
Jacula

Jojo - 20 or 30 yearsa seems so very long to wait... I know.
10:35 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Sorry too. **kisses and hugs**. You know, you probably have the right relationship right now. You don't need marriage, enjoy the moment.
10:38 pm

hiya - i made it home!!!!!
10:38 pm
Jacula

Guess what, JoJo - even ex-hubby's finally got it right at last. He's taking his new wife to The Maldives for her 50th. Shame he realised it was the place I'd always wanted to go just after he said it! I'm a year behind his new wifey, btw.
10:39 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Don't think you are waiting, enjoy what you have right now. Marriage is not for everyone. "Love the one you are with." Hmm, I think that was a song lyrics back in the 60's.

Hiya Ren! Glad you made it home.

10:48 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Ren: There is times that I don't babble either, or show very poor stats. There is nothing wrong with enjoying babbling on the chat line. It can help you relax after a long day on the job. No prob with me, you not babbling, go for it and just chat for a while, if it relaxes you.
10:49 pm

JoJo , I'm 48, 49 end of April or thereabouts. Born 1957. I'm not stressing about my ex.

10:52 pm

I found my husband's name is here: sh 5/20 and the definition is basically...a proper name. So, to my international friends or possibly hipper American friends, is there another meaning for the word or is he just special?
10:52 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Then go for it, just chat. Nothing in the world wrong with that. In fact everything in the world right with that, if you enjoy it.
10:53 pm

You know those times in your life when it is just one damn thing after another? I am way stuck in that cycle. And every time I talk myself into "focusing on the good stuff" and moving on, something else happens.

10:54 pm

I have no words today. And it will stay that way. Just got home and I know I won't be able to sleep, so I thought I'd see what was going on in here for a while.

Mamabear I realised after 2 yrs he had to go. But I'd had woulf and my family were not supportive. So I waited, went to school, got a decent job and then walked.
I was looking for anything to happen. Decide to leave NY and go to Texas. Met BF on the way down. Known only from a BB we belonged to. When I left Tx to go to Knoxville he offered me a bed for a night. The rest is history.
11:15 pm
mamabear

my kids are grown - 25, 22 & 19. Emotionally abusive, neglectful ...... it's such a long story.
11:16 pm
hootowl

Still wake up amazed and pinch myself a lot!:)
11:16 pm
mamabear

what's a "BB", hootowl????? I am very happy for you.... everyone should have the opportunity to experience real love at least once in their lives.
11:17 pm

hello, can I have a clue for the te 6/24 please?
11:21 pm
hootowl

It's a bulletin board. Was for a handyman group. We both belonged and e-mailed and IM'd just to talk. When I left NY I was heading to another member who had offered a place to stay while I job hunted. I decided to meet as many members as possible on the way.
I e-mail, IM and call about 15 people in my core group.
I have a place to stay just about anywhere in the USA!
11:21 pm
mamabear

sorry, chic. as I have "0 words FOUND" - didn't play today.
11:22 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Probably every woman on this chat line tonight can relate to emotional abuse. Men most of the time "just don't get it". There is choices you can make, either get out, or live with his emotional abuse. OR, just get strong and tell him to ~~you know~~ __ off. I bet as soon as you hold your ground, things will change. It did with me. Life is not always a wonderful road, but things can change, if you aren't willing to let your mate to just treat as someone beneath him. It worked for me.
11:22 pm

Isn't it amazing how the Internet has virtually changed people's lives????

hootowl

Please I'm hearing echos. Tried that a few times. He usually apoligised, was good for a month, then back to put-downs and yelling. Only time it lasted more than a month was when I tried to hit him with a formica dinibg room chair!
That lasted 6-7 weeks.
Chair weighed about 40lbs! Only reason I didn't kill him was cause I het the ceiling before I got to him.
11:26 pm
mamabear

JoJo- I know the choices I have and the decisions I have to make. It's being ABLE to make them that is difficult. I have told him for a very long time how I feel, and he is unwilling to change, so the person that has to change is me.
11:27 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Sounds like it is more than just emotional abuse, being that you thru a chair at him. Right?
11:28 pm
hootowl

Mama if anyone had encouraged me I might have done it sooner. After we split almost everyone that knew us asked me why I'd waited so long. Meanwhile I'm starting to believe it's my fault. :(
11:29 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Sorry: that was hootowl that threw the chair, not you. Sorry.
11:31 pm
mamabear

YIKES!! Hootowl..... I am not the violent type. But 2 weeks ago as I was leaving for work in the morning, I took all the tv, vcr, dvd, etc. remote controls to work with me and left them there for a week. THAT got a rise out of him.
11:31 pm
hootowl

Nope - never hit me. Words can do a lot more damage sometimes. And the fights were basically power plays. Leave for a party, start a fight in the car, drive around for an hour yelling at me, finally get to party and it's my fault we're late. Question something he did or didn't do and listen to 4 hrs of screaming.
11:32 pm
mamabear

hootowl - I know what you are saying. There are people (including my daughters) who are sympathetic to my situation. I am just trapped right now, mostly because of financial reasons.
11:33 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Hootowl: That is what men try to find, is women who doesn't have enough confidence in themselves. You feel it is your fault, even tho you haven't done anything wrong, because, somehow you don't have confidence in yourself. Believe me I am no shrink, but I have been there. No one pushes me around anymore. Took me a while to realize that tho.
11:34 pm
Jacula

Sorry folks. Not the physically or even emotionally viilent myself usually. Both occured here, and now he's gone to work. and we're both pretty p'dd off. Oh, how funny that Normanb Greenbaum's 'Spirit in the Sky' should blam in to my headphones right at this stupid moment.
11:34 pm

11:41 pm
mamabear

alrighty then, hootowl, scratch THAT idea!! LOL
11:41 pm
hootowl

Billy it doesn't make any difference this late. The puzzle will change at midnight. Suggest you read the rules and check out Babblers Anonymous at the bottom of the box in the upper right hand corner. Under General there will be a list of what words are needed and how many of each.
Helps alot. Welcome aboard
11:43 pm
mamabear

Changes at midnite!!! OMG .... I didn't realize it was so late.... I have to get to bed..... gotta get up early for work..
11:43 pm
Jacula

Hoot - Well, the name he called me when he went off to work after we ladt 'punched' each other, could have referred to me or to anyone. We will see.

Christ! What conspiracy is this? 'Unchained Melody' is playing into my headphones now!
11:44 pm
hootowl

I've found that to be pretty normal. If there is 2 or more bros, one will be great and the others anywhere from crazy to nasty to blah. The former will be married or otherwise taken.
11:44 pm
mamabear

If I heard Unchained Melody right now, it would reduce me to tears...... for sure.
11:45 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Mama and Kris: Congrats and good night.
11:45 pm
hootowl

Oh mama wish I could help you. Jac turn it off! That always happens. Why suffer?
11:45 pm
Jacula

Sorry! We sounded like Johnny Cash & June Carter, didn't we?
11:46 pm
renfield

11:46 pm

Nighty night
11:46 pm
renfield

11:47 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Are you in trouble?
11:47 pm
hootowl

Wasn't being nasty jac. Just meant you shouldn't make yourself suffer any more than necessary. They'll keep playing stuff like that. It's fate or something.
11:47 pm
mamabear

thanks hootowl..... I am a VERY patient person.... if you remember, I had a possible job opp in Long Island. That was my "Plan A".... now that that has been put on hold indefinitely, I need to move on to "Plan B".. just not sure what that is yet.
11:47 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Hootowl: You have a great sleep.
11:48 pm
hootowl

Aaah. Well a job is definitely a good idea. Keep trying.
11:49 pm
mamabear

Oh I have a job here. It's not that.
11:49 pm
hootowl

Oh no. Not me. Was aimed at mama. I'm here til about 1.
11:50 pm

Night all!

11:50 pm

11:50 pm

good nite JoJo - sleep well!!!! *hugs*
11:51 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Mama: I am worried about Jac too.
11:51 pm
GreyWoulf

and I stop in to say hi and to let everyone know that Sebastian is home safe and find out stuff about my mom I never knew!


Hi all!! (*HUGS*) ;D
11:51 pm
mamabear

BUSTED!!!!!
11:52 pm
renfield

nite jojo
opps hoot...your son is here!!!!
11:52 pm
hootowl

You weren't supposed to be here!!!!!!!!
11:52 pm
hootowl

And what didn't you know?
11:52 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie. Like what stuff about your mom. Whatever it is forgive her, (if it is not to your pleasing).
11:52 pm
GreyWoulf

I knew about the stuff my father pulled -- lord knows I was there for a lot of it -- but trying to take him out with a chair! -- that's new to me :)
11:52 pm
mamabear

Sorry, hootowl... my fault for bringing up the subject.....
11:53 pm
hootowl

Night
11:54 pm
hootowl

Don't be silly mama - he just doesn't remember it all. Felt good to tell someone too.
11:54 pm
GreyWoulf

Not that I didn't consider it a time or two myself --- when hoot left and I chose to stay with him -- I became the next target :\

Part of the reason why I haven't talked to him in years
11:55 pm
GreyWoulf

Mama -- no fault -- time separation makes it easier to make humorous -- no trauma here, so don't worry (*Hug*)
11:55 pm
hootowl

And just to clarify - I wann't TRYING to kill him! Just wanted to hurt him back! AFTER I realised I could have killed him.
11:55 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Obviously Hootowl (your mom) was defending herself, or I am sure she wouldn't have done that with the chair. You cannot condemn her for that.
11:56 pm
mamabear

GW - I am glad Kirsten and Sebastian are home and can sleep in their OWN beds tonite! This should be much easier on you too!!! Enjoy your son *mamabear whispers to GW.... has he p'd in your face yet?? Boys do that you know*
11:56 pm
GreyWoulf

Mom -- I know --- but you never told me about that incident so I HAD to comment ;D

11:56 pm
hootowl

Just blind, black anger!
11:56 pm
hootowl

No other way to swing that weight!
11:57 pm
GreyWoulf

Mama -- I have only had to change one diaper on him so far and he behaved -- I have been busy reclaiming the living room from laundry
11:57 pm
Jacula

GW - MSN!
11:58 pm
hootowl

Just assumed you were there. Not too many people know about it. First time mentioned in public.
11:59 pm
hootowl

Just make sure you keep a diaper or washcloth over him and no sweat. You did get your dad once.
11:59 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Hootowl: If you have kept this episode deep in side you all these you, do you feel relieved? If so, you can free yourself.
