I have a feeling we will want an s!
12:01 am
doxy1lover

you might be right on that one hoot
12:01 am
mab

Hi my dear valentine babblers!
12:02 am
hootowl

You know you're in trouble when the first word you enter you get the message "oops. You've already used that word". ?????
12:03 am
harpjane

Valentine's Day!
12:03 am
CJ162003

hoot, that does sound like trouble
12:03 am
cybernan

Think we might want to shuffle a few letters?
12:04 am

hmmm, i only have 3 of the 4 v words, but do you think our v-day grid is trying to be prophetic? (if it is, we're in trouble!)
12:14 am
sprite

Morning dear gang :)
12:15 am
chic

I think this grid id v 5/16 than yesterdays....
12:15 am
mab

Welcome Sprite.
12:15 am
CJ162003

morning sprite!
12:16 am
sprite

Not even remotely revolting...
12:16 am
mrpresident

ah... this looks half good!
12:18 am
mab

Which half, mrpres?
12:18 am
cybernan

don't speak too soon Mr. P!
12:18 am
cybernan

I agree, Chic
12:18 am
sprite

mrP probably means that most words are only half in the grid, and half in our heads.
12:18 am
mrpresident

ok... it's like that is it!!

*puts on the boxing gloves*
12:19 am
sprite

Bad C4.
12:19 am
cybernan

OK, I've got the first third -- now what?
12:19 am
mrpresident

I am getting ready for my 'date'.... (I hate Valentine's day)!!
12:20 am
CJ162003

awww mrP i'm sorry... I love it
12:20 am
doxy1lover

I get to work Valentine's night. Hubby and I are doing something this weekend.
12:21 am
chic

I must have most of the 4 letter words already... now what?
12:21 am
mab

it is sort of contrived, isn't it mrpres? but it sounds like somebody is about to be real sweet to you, so that's a good thing.
12:22 am
mrpresident

CJ... I just don't like the fact that the kids are coming along too!!
12:22 am
doxy1lover

mrp, that part stinks.
12:22 am
mab

Ha! I don't blame you for that!
12:22 am
sprite

Valentine's date with the kids? SOMEONE is missing the point there! ;)
12:23 am
CJ162003

well that does sound like it will be intresting
12:23 am
mrpresident

mab... I find the whole concept riddled with faults... chocolate, dinner, roses etc = $$$$... plus my husband gets over excited at the prospect of another 'special occassion'
12:25 am
cybernan

p 6/21
12:26 am
chic

the chocolate part sounds good, mrp, can do without the rest...;-)
12:27 am
sprite

My love and I never go for the commercial celebrations. We find our own way of making it special, and money usually doesn't come into that. I got a very sweet and funny card from him. And since he managed to forget his lunch for 3 days in a row now, I left him about 6 notes this morning to remind him. On his glasses, his wallet, his keys, the coffee and the door... :) He has to start very early each morning, but I am certain he had a laugh. :D
12:27 am
CJ162003

well i'm making dinner for my boyfriend tonight so that saves a little money
12:27 am
doxy1lover

I am off to bed. Have a good day/night to everyone.
12:28 am
sprite

Sleep well, doxy :)
12:28 am
CJ162003

night doxy
12:28 am
LeslieAnn

i am offended by all the words that end in e and won't let me add a r for another word.
12:28 am
mab

night doxy.
12:29 am
hootowl

Night Doxy - I'm giving up too. Not even 1/2 the words. Tomorrow I'll be awake!
Night all.
12:29 am
CJ162003

sprite thats sounds like a lot of fun
12:29 am
mrpresident

LOL chic... don't I know it!!

I got a card for him that says

Outside
"I wasn't sure what to do for you on Valentine's Day"

Inside Card
"Then I realised it doesn't matter what I do, as long as I am naked!"
12:29 am
sprite

Yes Leslie, like H6/21. Was just cursing the same thing.
12:29 am
sprite

LOL mrP :D
12:30 am
mab

Sounds like a quid pro quo, mrpres! Perhaps you should go on strike and order take away food, plant yourself in front of the tv or something.
12:31 am
CJ162003

lol mr p.... the one i got say some really sweet things and under each one give an instruction for him to take off something
12:31 am
Angelsong

hi everyone
12:31 am

CJ: it was, preparing it. And I am pretty sure it was receiving it too :) :)
12:31 am
CJ162003

hi angel
12:32 am
chic

that's funny, mrp
12:32 am
sprite

Hi Angel :)
Hey, I see my icon is in vogue for once LOL
12:33 am
LeslieAnn

we should have a sprite day, then you would definitely be the coolest
12:34 am
mrpresident

what type of icons would we find for sprite day!
12:34 am
sprite

I wouldn't have to change for that, Leslie, indeed ;)
12:35 am
sprite

Well, you could go in th ree directions for that! The fairy sprites, the softdrink and me ;)
12:35 am
LeslieAnn

lots of things: you could have an icon like sprite's, or soda, or aren't they a type of fairy or something?
12:35 am
Angelsong

I got the most awesome valentine-birthday card from my husband. He is so thoughtful.
12:38 am
LeslieAnn

angel is it your birthday today?
12:39 am
chic

I must be going now; have run out of steam...
Happy
Valentine's to all (((hugs)))
and good nite!
12:39 am
sprite

Night chic!
12:39 am
LeslieAnn

on a completely unrelated note, i think a-ho 4/5 should be a word. who's with me?
12:40 am
mab

Night chic.
12:40 am
sprite

I am, Leslie. Tried it three times. Didn't help though.
12:42 am
mrpresident

bye chic
12:42 am
Angelsong

LeslieAnn, yes, today is my birthday.
12:42 am
mrpresident

better go and 'get ready'!!

bye for now!! (wave)
12:43 am
LeslieAnn

Happy Birthday, Angel -- have a chocolate on me!

Good night and Happy Valentines Day, everyone :)

12:47 am
LeslieAnn

want to share that last part, sprite? ;)
12:47 am
sprite

Leslie, actually it is... nothing :)
12:48 am
sprite

Or to be more precise: it is nothing, surrounded by something.
12:50 am
sprite

H7/36 another compound. Someone who gives furry kisses?
12:50 am
LeslieAnn

aha, apparently there was an a-ho4/5, just not the one i wanted :)
12:55 am
mab

Thanks Sprite!
12:58 am
mab

I like compound words. The only seven I had was a re7.

Oh, I loved that 'magpie' was in yesterdays puzzle. And tanager, too.

Hello and hail to all

Hi Blaze. Happy V day.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL
1:13 am
Blaze

Are you guys all busy with the grid or eating chocolates.... lol :)
1:15 am
mab

I think everyone is busy with V day preparations. Personally, I'm just doing this until my knight in shining armour rides in. Whomever that might be.
1:16 am
Blaze

ah well.... we at least have company.....
1:17 am
sprite

Hi, I am back, had to get the kids ready for school. Nice grid, but some tough words!
1:17 am
sprite

P7/36, pitbull fish.
1:19 am
sprite

M5 and L5, fruity anagrams.
1:20 am
Blaze

now if I could just spell that darn fish.....
1:22 am
sprite

In stead of the ~ there comes another letter behind the one that should get the ~. ;)
1:22 am
Blaze

Thank you Sprite
1:22 am
sprite

I am happy to see there is a fish in the grid again :D
1:23 am
dalmatian5

I love all the Valentine incons - so colorful!
1:24 am
Blaze

Ha ~~ finally got it... it is all in the spelling....
1:26 am
sprite

I agree! And as I said before: I am so very much in vogue today ;)
1:30 am
Blaze

this is a tricky, twisty grid tonight.....
1:32 am
sprite

I agree with that too :)
Done... so if you need clues, just say so.
1:32 am
dalmatian5

Boy, I am not doing well - lots of 4's and only one 5. I am going to have to look harder!
1:36 am
broll

I'd like to get that "H" word starting from the bottom, please.
1:36 am
mab

I think the 7s are A, Px3, and R. Two are compound words with the same 4-letter ending. Hope that helps dalmatian.
1:36 am
sprite

broll, it's a laugh.
1:37 am
Blaze

thank you for the laugh' Now about that r 7 ?? please
1:37 am
sprite

P7 x 2 and H7, not P7 x 3. The rest is correct.
1:38 am
mab

Think bunny kisses for the H7.
1:38 am
sprite

Blaze, that's what you must do when you have been thrown off a horse.
1:38 am
broll

Oh no! Pass the obvious fish. Thanks.
1:38 am
mab

R7 is about getting back on the horse again.
1:39 am
Blaze

thank you thank you Sprite of Babble...(()) it is a very twisty grid indeed....
1:39 am
sprite

*hands broll the P7*
Look out for those teeth!
1:39 am
Blaze

Happy Birthday angel song
1:43 am
dalmatian5

Thanks everyone - the clues sure helped and now I feel a bit better.
1:45 am
sprite

I started out the same way, dalmatian. I was more than halfway before I started finding 7s and 6s. This is a tricky grid.
1:46 am
mab

It's always a relief to get the longer words out of the way, I always feel.
1:47 am
mab

And yet, it is rarely the case that I do.
1:48 am
Krys10

Hi everybody! Happy Valentine's Day. I'm not Babbling today but I have a word puzzler I thought you'd all enjoy - how many words can we think of that use all 5 vowels? My students and I have thought of five words already - and one has them all in alphabetical order!
1:49 am
Blaze

w e ll 68 words to go and I am falling asleep so must be off... see you tomorrow...Cheers to all....
1:50 am
sprite

Hi Krys10, nice one! Will think about it.
Bye Blaze, sleep well :)
1:50 am
mab

Night Blaze.

Thanks for the challenge Krys10!
1:51 am
Krys10

I'm putting the words we've already found in my profile, so don't peek if you don't want to see 'em yet! I'll add to them as people post...
1:52 am
sprite

Oh, great idea, Krys! :D :D
1:54 am
sprite

Krys... is Y a vowel in your puzzle or not?
1:55 am
Krys10

You don't have to use Y, but you get extra credit if you do! (does Y count as a vowel if it's used in -LY, or only in words like "myth"?)
1:57 am
sprite

I'd say in both. Just not in words like 'year'.
1:58 am
sprite

Eulogia?
1:59 am
Krys10

(Pronouncing a blessing for the goodness
in a person.)

Bingo! Sprite is on the board :)
2:00 am
sprite

I've got another one!
'sacrilegiously' and it has an Y! :)
2:01 am
sprite

Krys, this is BAD! I should be doing other things now... but this is a challenge I cannot resist...
2:01 am
Krys10

you're on a religion kick, huh?
2:01 am
rolin

how about dialogue?
2:03 am
sprite

Works for me, rolin!
Krys10... you are right! Do you think there is a connection between those words and their vowelness?
2:04 am
Krys10

sanctimonious..er?
2:04 am
rolin

lol..i think thats pushing it krys
2:06 am
sprite

LOL!
Is 'unoriental' a word?
2:06 am
Krys10

ooh ooh! euphoria!
2:08 am
sprite

'facetiously' is valid too. AND has an Y :)
2:09 am
sprite

Oh yes, Krys, euphoria too! This is FUN!
I'd say, the euphoria word is part of the religion kick too.
2:09 am
Krys10

that's the one I had, that uses them all in order. that's the first one I found :)
2:10 am
sprite

GMTA ;)
2:10 am
mab

authoritative?
2:11 am
sprite

Nice one!
And 'revolutionaries'.
2:11 am
Krys10

a-yup!
2:11 am
Krys10

you could do revolutionary and get the Y..
2:13 am
sprite

Yeah! Even better!
Since 'miaou' is valid in babble grids, is 'miaowed' a word too?
2:15 am
Krys10

with a u not a w, I suppose ou mean. AtoZ says it's a word.
2:16 am
sprite

Er... yes, that's right. 'miaoued'. Just checked in A2Z too, it is valid :)
2:18 am
sprite

I submit 'subcontinental'.
2:20 am
Atalante

eunoia and ultrarevolutionaries - that has each vowel TWICE!!
2:21 am
Krys10

Duly noted. Are you Babbling at the same time?
(Someone told me today that my name anagrams to "Try a monster king!")
2:21 am
Krys10

that's awesome, Atalante!
2:22 am
sprite

Wow Atalante!
Krys10, I was done babbling and ready to get some useful things done... until you dropped the challenge :)
2:23 am
mab

cauterization
2:23 am
sprite

I found 'adventitiously'.
2:23 am
Atalante

nowI'm going to spend the day trying to remember other weird words I've read about in the past!
2:26 am
Krys10

Ok, I was planning to steer clear of Babble today so I am going to take off - will check back later. Thanks for the fun, everyone!

New player here....
2:26 am

Thank you, Krys10! I must split too, but I will keep thinking about new words for the game :)

How do I get an icon?
2:27 am
mab

Thanks, Krys - this is fun.
2:28 am
mab

Adieu-o, all.
2:28 am
sprite

Hi paganlady, welcome to the game.
Icons are for pro-players. So if it's your first time here, just play babble and see if you like it. You can always go pro later, if you like it very much. Babble can be very addictive, though! ;)
2:28 am
Ho Hum

paganlady - you have to updrage to babble pro.
2:29 am
sprite

LOL mab... I like that one! ;)
2:29 am
paganlady

I have actually tried the game a time or two, and tonight I got babble pro....
2:31 am
paganlady

It is so nice to be someplace where people can actually SPELL!!!
2:31 am
sprite

If you have upgraded to pro, just click 'my profile' in the upper right and fill in your profile. Icons can be uploaded there.
2:31 am
paganlady

But sadly I can't seem to figure out how to get an icon. :-(
2:32 am
paganlady

thank you Sprite
2:32 am
sprite

LOL!
paganlady, do I hear some frustration there? I agree, it is nice to be around people who know written language isn't the same as spoken language ;)
2:33 am
Atalante

of couse it gets even more annoying when enable refuses to speak the same language as you!
2:35 am
sprite

Enable and the babble gang are often at war :)
2:35 am
Krys10

foundationless!
2:37 am
sprite

Yeah, another one, Krys! You are as bad in leaving as I am :)
2:37 am
sprite

Er... I believe that should have read 'bad AT leaving' in english... sorry.
2:37 am
Krys10

I did leave.. I just did a small task and came back :)
2:38 am
Krys10

Can I be British for a second? "behaviour"
2:39 am
sprite

I usually spell British, because that is what we are taught at school here. Beautiful word!
2:39 am
Krys10

Also "nefarious"
2:40 am
rolin

krys...i never figured out what the u.s. has against the humble 'u'
2:41 am
paganlady

Sorry Sprite, I am browsing icons... it's a new computer so I don't have much on it yet... yes, I have some frustration with most chat. My spoken word is anything but proper, but I take some pride in having the ability to at least write properly.... LOL
2:42 am
sprite

I remember some fun email about the UK ruling the world... somewhere in there there was the statement:
"There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf."
2:42 am
sprite

You are more than welcome here then, paganlady... ;)
2:43 am
paganlady

Thank you very much Sprite, I hope to chat with you again sometime... don't get online much.

Are you fully comp Sis ??
4:57 am

Yes, but I have a feeling this is going to push the insurance premiums way up. It's an old banger too, so it's probably going to cost as much as it's worth to fix and pay recovery fees etc.

Thanks eva. I'm going to have the same thing. The ignition has been damaged so they've towed it to a recovery yard. Just waiting to see what the damage is and how much to fix that. More than anything it's the inconvenience of having to deal with police (who were amazing, btw) and insurance companies before I had my breakfast! But hey, I've had worse things happen, it's not the end of the world! : )

very important to keep that perspective. Many years ago I had a cara accident in which a brand new car was totalled, and as I looked at the shiny pieces of engine on the pavement my firts thought (after-"Wow, I'm still alive!") was that our 19 year old cat had come home from the hospital the day before and was going to survive. Much more important. As much as possible have the insurance people take care of things-god knows we pay them for it!

5:52 am
rolin

5:53 am
MissyMe

5:53 am
lola100

eva, exactly. After the last two years I've had this really is small potatoes. I've had to learn to say 'it's only money' rather a lot, lol! : D
5:53 am
Eva

rolin, why do you have to give it away?
5:54 am
lola100

bubbles, now that would be telling! ; )
At least you are going out and not stripping wall paper together! lol : D
5:54 am
MissyMe

rolin My bealge is getting older. After he's put a big hole in our family by leaving this earth I'm not getting another friend/pet/family member. Hurts too much to lose them!
5:54 am
rolin

yeah eva i do...the dog is my icon..hes a gorgeous little tibetan terrier cross...but we are out all day...and hes just not happy..
i need to find someone who is either home..or works part time
5:56 am
Bubbles

ah i see, wink wink nudge nudge!!!!

I'd rather be at the house, first valentines and all that.
5:56 am
Eva

poor thing-and it must be sad to have to give him up. Sorry, but I'm too far away and anyway my cat doesn't play nice with the other kids in the sandbox and is probably just about as big as your puppy. Part Maine Coon cat - big mothers!
5:57 am
rolin

lol..wel as much as im prepared to drive anywhere reasonable to get him a good home...i think the u.s. might be just a little far...
5:57 am
lola100

bubbles, well you could always visit it later and perhaps christen a room or two ; )
5:58 am
MissyMe

rolin It would be very hard on the car to drive to the US for sure lol!
5:58 am
rolin

ya mean the tunnel doesnt go that far?..sheesh..so that why ive been ending up in france every time?
5:59 am
MissyMe

Must be some kind of French conspiracy
6:00 am
rolin

hey missy..with an attitude like that you could be a brit..lol
6:00 am
MissyMe

lol
6:01 am
rolin

im allowed to say stuff like that cos im really an aussie in disguise ya see
6:01 am
MissyMe

Hiding out in Britain?
6:02 am
rolin

yeah..resident now..been here 4 years
6:03 am
lola100

rolin, does that mean you have your brit passport?? I thought it took more than 5 years to get residency here?
6:03 am
Eva

15 left. Think I'll take a break and leave myself something for later.
6:03 am
MissyMe

I'll make it over there some day. I do know the French don't particularly like Americans visiting their fine country...
6:04 am
rolin

i have a brit mother..so i have whats called a right of residency..i dont have a passport yet..but i travel on my aussie passport thru the eu as a brit.. the only time i am an aussie to travel is when i go to places that have a diff arrangement with aus.
6:04 am
MissyMe

Eva I almost did that tonight because the ha's were trying me banananananans
6:06 am
MissyMe

rolin does that give you any problems? Here in the states people are getting very stinky about legal aliens. sad...
6:06 am
lola100

Ah, that makes sense rolin. Sorry for being so nosey! : )
6:06 am
lola100

'bye eva : )
6:07 am
rolin

nah..i havent had any probs so far...i do resent paying for visa when my partner doesnt.. i havent tried getting into the states yet..thats for later
6:08 am
lola100

missyme, I'm a south african in the UK and arrived here expecting a negative response from the brits but they have been very friendly and welcoming : )
6:08 am
rolin

and lola...nosey..shmosey...lol
6:09 am
MissyMe

Ever since 9/11 it's been a pain here for travelers and legal residents holding work visas and such.
6:09 am
rolin

i agree lola...i love being here... most brits dont take themselves too seriously..and i love the friendly rivally over sport..
6:09 am
lola100

lol, thanks rolin. It's just that sometimes you get better info about that sort of thing from someone who's done it than the websites etc : )
6:10 am
MissyMe

lola I'm looking forward to going there. The Brits I've met here in the states impressed me in a positive way.
6:10 am
rolin

i want a brit passport...simply cos all my family has one cept me.. both my kids have a brit father.. and so do i...but...*hangs head in mock shame*...i have a dark secret
6:14 am
lola100

rolin and missy, yeah, they are all good people...except for the little b*****s that nicked my car last night!!! Okay, deep breath, not talking about it anymore! : D
6:15 am
rolin

*hands lola chocolate*
6:15 am
lola100

*holds breath and waits to see if rolin will tell everyone her dark secret*
6:16 am
MissyMe

lola I talk to a very sweet Aussie who's teaching in Brit. She says the kids are out of control and the teachers have their hands tied behind their backs. She says she's ready to quit just to keep her sanity
6:16 am
lola100

*exhales so that she can eat the chocolate* : )
6:17 am
rolin

well...*secretly bending fwd so no one really will hear*..while i was investigating getting a brit passport...i found out..my mum and dad never got married...lol..therefore i cant get a brit passport on having a brit father
6:17 am
rolin

missyme...except for the 'sweet' bit..you could be talking about me..
6:18 am
lola100

missy, yes, it's my only worry about staying here as I have a three year old daughter : /
6:18 am
MissyMe

rolin That totally blows, dang! Don't they have laws here something similar to what we have in the states. After two people have lived together for seven years they're considered legally married whether they got the license or not
6:20 am
rolin

nah..common lawdoesnt exist in england.. this law doesnt apply to anyone born after 1981...but..ermm... im 'just outa' the range of that...*innocent eyes*
6:20 am
MissyMe

lola From listening to my friend describe some of the horror stories I would be worried too.

The kids here where I live are extremely polite, including the teens. The join clubs, help in the community and wave at you as you pass by in the car or walk on the street...big difference!
6:20 am
lola100

rolin *leans forward to reveal her dark family secret* I recently found out that my grandfather (on mum's side) was an american tobacco auctioneer who went back to his family in america when mum was a child! Think they'll give me a green card? lol : D
6:20 am
Bubbles

lola, NO WAY its a building site!!!

mmm...praps not??.. isnt this geneology thing a hoot??.. my bro discovered my dad had been married before...(which my mum knew)...but she doesnt know about his 2 kids... we went to canada to meet the one thats still alive..last summer
6:22 am
MissyMe

lola lol I'd give you one.
6:22 am

Aww go on bubs, live on the wild side a little! : D
6:24 am

Hmm, apparently three year olds need lunch (daughter home, school holidays), be back later : )
6:24 am
MissyMe

I was an unhappy camper when I found out my mom's dad's side of the family used to keep slaves in the south. GEESH! I feel tainted...
6:24 am
MissyMe

k lola cya later :)
6:26 am
lola100

missy, coming from post-apartheid era sa we were all (black and white) taught to forgive ourselves and others. You can't take on the sins of the father : )
6:27 am
mtnjock

later lola
6:27 am
rolin

yeah but missy..thats looking thru modern eyes.. we need to be able to let go of our mores when looking thru the past and try to leave judgements aside...

and on that deep philosphical note..i need lunch...(im home from school too..lol.)
6:29 am
MissyMe

lola You need to talk to everyone here in the states. It's a real mark on me when someone finds out about it. But I agree with you.

As a child I had heard the n-word in school and had no clue what it meant. I went home and asked my mom. She slapped my face and said to never say it again. Such things were not taught in my home. We grew up to respect people.
6:29 am

Well coosin, you've always got friends here who are willing to listen if you need to chat : )
6:52 am
mtnjock

scouts mom, egurl, et al were lectured by the boss (who also babbles) that it should be done at home. scoutsmom doesn't have the net there, so she hasn't been able to play. Scout had a wonderful christmas, LOL, I got her a giggling big bird and joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat (she loves her some musicals)

dal you have been very busy... good for you...
7:07 am
EvaNadine

mtn -- my bday was last week + long story short, was supposed to go see a friends band play saturday night a few hours away. another friend was supposed to go with me + she called when we were supposed to be leaving to say she couldnt go because of the weather. since everyone else already had plans that night, i basically spent my bday weekend alone.
this one friend has let me down like this time after time.
7:07 am
musicmom

Evan is this the friend that ditched you on your b-day?
7:07 am

7:08 am
rolin

can some one give me help on the he 4/5..i have the sensory one
7:08 am
musicmom

My opinion - for what it is worth - is that friends who don't carry through time after time aren't really friends. You need someone who sticks with you just like you would stick with them.
7:08 am
EvaNadine

rolin -- sense of listening, or else warmth
7:09 am

Krys1o - looks like my typewriter is throwing in a space now and again. All the words shoud be connected and not have those extra spaces. Sorry!
7:09 am
Blaze

eva... I am an old bird,, have experienced a thing or two.... set some firm boundaries with your friend and move on..... despite our best efforts sometimes we need to just let go and get on...
7:09 am
mtnjock

eva, I understand. quitting my job has shown me who is my friend for me, and who is my friend for their needs. It hurts, but I understand the need to filter people from my life that are only interested in what I will do for them and my ability to be there for them, but they choose not to be there for me.
7:09 am
rolin

*picks up a gun and shoots myself..*..duh..thx,.. evandine

Blaze - I love words and the challenge just got my brain moving. I guess reading does come in handy sometiimes.
7:10 am
EvaNadine

its just tough cause weve known each other a long time...on the inside, shes a really great person + she always listens to me + we click in a way that i dont click with any of my other friends...
but she has HORRIBLE time-management skills and lately has been kinda selfish...she tries to plan everything + can never follow through with it all, and im usually the one who gets shafted because of it...
7:10 am

Very well put Blaze.
7:10 am

7:11 am
mtnjock

eva, is she going through stuff? Most times when people become selfish and unorganized they have issues that they might be dealing with and not willing to talk about.
7:12 am
musicmom

Well Evan - you wouldn't have to never speak to her again. Just be very careful about making plans with her. If you communicate with her that well, I would try to explain to her how hurt you were. Maybe she doesn't realize what she is doing.
7:13 am
EvaNadine

heh, well, shes always been unorganized...shes got OCD and ADD and kinda lives an upside-down life anyway...
she is in the process of moving, which i know is stressful.
but mainly, shes over-focused on her lovelife which consists of falling in love and schtupping a new guy every week and then obsessing over them all...
7:13 am

its a call for attention to ask, 'are you ok? is something bothering you?'

I KNOW Greg always out gifts me --- it doesn't matter how hard I try:-) He says no but I know it is true. Unfortunately you all got our snow. We don't have any - you have too much. No chance of my class canceling today. That's okay though. I love these kids.

A. Sushi for vday is great (love it, know how to prep it) and may do it for my friend, thanks for the idea.
B. if it takes one day a year to show someone you love them, then that sucks! You should do something every month to let them know that you care about them. My rant for today.
C. happy post bday to you, you are now 28, which is a great year for anyone.

7:29 am
mtnjock

no, I am a decent son, a great son would do something better... She was the only person in my family that understood why I left my job without another in the works. Being a single mother for 5 years, with ethics and convictions helped. She said that is what she passed on to me.

Hi rolin. My name is cupid - not stupid. Me and twenty two fellas!!!!!!!

7:42 am
rolin

lmao frances...oh yes...i know JUST what youre on about
7:42 am
mtnjock

I am all about using words for their true meaning... I mean a wonderful woman from my childhood explained to me (in the 70's) between the n word and colored people and afro-americans, but she taught me respect for the person

that word to date is only offensive. some women like to be called a bitch, some men for that factor. But where did it come from?
7:44 am
mtnjock

wow, there is a filter here... the <beep> was the definition of a female dog...
7:45 am
rolin

its been defined as an offensive word for female genitals from the middle english
7:45 am
mtnjock

thanks for that at least Dr. God
7:45 am
EvaNadine

i have no problem with using words as they were originally intended.
but most of these offensive words are bastardizations of the original meaning, which is where it gets sticky...
7:46 am
lola100

mtn, she is also headstrong, stroppy and VERY picky when it comes to men...so think carefully, lol!
7:46 am
72 Temple Owl

hello everyone!
7:46 am
rolin

yeah it would be interesting t know the middle english original use..
7:46 am
EvaNadine

to me, if the word is *INTENDED* to be offensive, we dont really need it here...
7:47 am
mtnjock

Wow.... I knew what For Unlawfal Carnal Knowledge was since I was a kid, mom said we couldn't use words we didn't know the EXACT definition for, but I thought that was just slang.
7:47 am
rolin

Cunt
This word for the female genitalia dates back to the Middle English period, c.1325. (Although researchers have found a London street named Gropecuntelane from c. 1230.) Although the word cannot be traced back further than this, there are cognates in a variety of other Germanic languages, indicating a Germanic origin.

Cunt does not come from the Latin cunnus, which is also a term for the female pudenda, although a common root back in the mists of time cannot be discounted. Use of the word as term of abuse for a woman is a 20th century sense, dating to 1929.

7:47 am
GoBraves

Well, as I recall from DH Lawrence it was originally a term for a very sexually desirable woman
7:48 am
mtnjock

I don't think it was to be offensive, I just think it happened. I was shocked. Thats all. My sisters would kill me if I used it. I was just missing a cu4 word and came across it.
7:48 am
Angelsong

mtnjock, the way I heard it, law enforcement originally coined that term when arresting people for unlawful intimate contact.

The other word actually came as a derivation of Fornication Under Consent of the King....meaning it met with church/state approval in the middle ages in the UK
7:48 am
EvaNadine

we studied this once in an english course in college, using the word "wimp"
now it means anyone who is perceived as a weakling, but if you trace the word back, its original meaning simply meant "woman"

i never use that word as an insult anymore.

thank you rolin, and eva, the term wimp is a psychological way to demean others and build your own self esteem. Wowsers rolin, one, that you actually got the word through the filter and female dog didn't go through, but it was a very clear and consise definition and explanation...

gee, harpjane, I lived in Hawaii for a few years as a teenager, and remember the term well, but not fondly. The word means 'white underbelly of a fish', accurate for me, certainly!

chch, I don't think it's intended to be a fond term, that's why I wanted to point it out....don't want any Babbler's on the islands to accidentally start a bar fight!

Transmission problems. For about a month, sometimes when you put it in reverse then into drive, it would not go anywhere. Had to downshift and play with it until it kicked in gear. Last Friday it just stopped doing anything. Had to have it towed...

you poor thing...

maybe we should go back to horse & buggy...when they don't start, you know they're dead....

Ah, the kiss of death... planning a vacation with your tax refund money. Guaranteed to cause something expensive to break down.
1:24 pm
mamabear

NOW you tell me, Judi!!!! LOL
'Twas only just thinking a little bit about it.... how did the car hear me????
1:24 pm
Anj

Eek! Mamabear...you have my sympathy. Automatic gearboxes are nigh on unrepairable once they glitch like that : / It's usually the transmission fluid tubes just getting blocked with gunge but it caosts as much to clean those as it does for a new box : ( Usually...
1:25 pm
faeriekae

Smaller - your so welcome - it never hurts to do a little dance in the faerie dust to get going.
1:25 pm

nifty hot tub! you should publish a computer character art book.
1:26 pm

Well, it's been a mad house here today. A constant stream of men bearing chocolate truffles, orchids, and frilly valentines. Of course it's ultimately a quid pro quo kind of deal. Exhausting.
1:28 pm

mab - I'll help relieve the stress...you can send some my way!!

Smaller - did you see Lupe's heart earlier??

Well, Anj, they replaced an ignition switch in the steering column yesterday and kept it overnite for "observation". Ran it this morning and thought it was OK, but then went to park it and it would not move (like it did for me). They said they will rebuild the trans and update it with all current new parts....
1:34 pm
Bugzy

Well, if I'm getting a new ring I must get a manicure first...
No, really, I just have to get some work done but a manicure sounds much better!
Peace and hugs to all Babblers :)
1:34 pm
mamabear

Have a good day, Bugzy!!!
1:35 pm
Anj

Mama, did they give you an estimate first?? I get twitched when mechanics make sweeping statements like that : /
1:37 pm
mamabear

The ignition switch job was $290. They said to do the trans work would be another $1,600. I have not talked to them. The husband is. I told him to find out about what kind of guarantee/warranty they are giving. It is a reputable transmission place here.

Thanks, Anj! I DO appreciate your opinion. I have no idea about $ it should cost - thank you!!! I feel better hearing you say that sounded reasonable.

I don't think there is a pi 6/24
9:03 pm
Jacula

I know. Mama. Just a thought - have you gone to garage yourself with it? If so, it could be like here in still sexist UK, i.e. they see a woman and a car and take her for all they can get. Send one of your menfolks in with the car. Even better, beat the mechanics around the ba5/14 with a basebat and make them give you the true picture.
9:03 pm

Okay. Since it is Valentine's day and I'm done. I'm going to log off and spend some time with my husband. See you all tomorrow.

Jac - my husband is the one dealing with the place. I haven't talked to them at all. It's a reputable transmission place - not just a regular mechanic. I am glad we are getting a tax refund, but this is not how I wanted to spend it, ya know?
9:07 pm

vi the last 4/ 7 I think I have the one that means wine
9:07 pm
Jacula

I think. Mama, we may hear proud paternal howling here soon. LOL. Wolfie's just signed in.
9:08 pm
mamabear

How do you know that, Jac?
9:08 pm
Jacula

vi + 4th vowel
vi + 1st vowel.

I need a pi4/5 the last one, lo 4/5, the first mo5/12 to start with
9:16 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi all :)

No real time to chat -- it is Valentine's after all ;)

Just wanted people to know that the new job is going well -- though the shift to getting up at 7 AM from having 9:30 is still taking getting used to --- also, Seb has a penchant for not sleeping during the night so I am VERY sleep deprived right now
9:16 pm
grniz

a co 5/12 not the body part
9:16 pm
hurshy

pi 4/5 rhymes with ea4
9:16 pm
Jacula

PI4/5 - A quill or reed on which thread or yarn is wound; a bobbin; also, the wound yarn on a weaver's shuttle; also, the reel of a fishing rod. [Scot.]
9:16 pm

Hi GW! Glad the job is going well.... mighty difficult though to have that at the same time a non-sleeping newborn. You have my sympathy. Take one day at a time. It won't last forever. *hug*
9:18 pm
GreyWoulf

Thanks -- that is what is keeping me going -- knowledge that sleep hell is of limited duration :)
9:19 pm
hurshy

as hells-on-earth tend to be.
9:20 pm
grniz

the first ha 4/5 too
9:20 pm
GreyWoulf

I just wish he would stop hiding burps! It has caused some really bad nights as the air he ingests at 9 PM finally works its way through his system, painfully, at 4 AM
9:20 pm
mamabear

Well, I think I will head off to bed.... maybe if I can fall asleep the frustrations of the day will fade..... and maybe I'll even have my "escape dreams"....
9:21 pm
hurshy

ha 4/5 sort of sounds like what pirate might say?
9:21 pm
GreyWoulf

hurshy -- are you going metaphysical on me?
9:21 pm
hurshy

here's to you having some great dreams, mama!
9:22 pm
mamabear

thanks hurshy!
9:22 pm
hurshy

no, i don't think i'm going metaphysical...i'm just in a bit of a hell myself right now, of a different sort, and am contemplating the fact that "this, too, shall pass"
9:22 pm
GreyWoulf

At least you get to dream, Mama -- I haven't had more than 2 hrs at a stretch in over a week -- no dreams here, (not that I remember them anyway)
9:22 pm
hurshy

i wonder if females remember dreams more than males
9:22 pm
mamabear

you, too, hurshy????? Must be the full moon, huh?
9:22 pm
GreyWoulf

sorry to hear that, hurshy (*hug*)
9:23 pm
Jacula

Full moon here in UK! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW WWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
9:24 pm
hurshy

is it a full moon? didn't know... not that i think it makes any difference... and the pain i'm in is mostly my own fault (which sort of makes it worse, doesn't it? when you're hurting and you know you have only yourself to blame?)
9:25 pm
Jacula

Hurshy - the full moon makes us all more sensitive. Don't beat yourself up!xx
9:25 pm
grniz

Thank you for all of your help!! I still am trying to figure out a few.
9:25 pm
mamabear

(((((((hurshy))))))))
There was a beautiful full moon last nite....
I'm sorry for your pain, hurshy - it can be heartbreaking, I know.
9:25 pm
GreyWoulf

hurshy -- there are those that claim all pain originates within ourselves -- after all, it is our perceptions that interpret situations as negative or positive --- of course, they are always happy and smiling when they say it :)
9:26 pm
hurshy

well, i'm trying to at least learn from past mistakes. when i do something wrong in a relationship, i usually tend to want to fix it really fast, and i just end up making things worse. this time i am trying really hard to tread softly, be patient, and let things take their course. but it is hard to fight my natural tendencies.
9:27 pm
mamabear

I have trouble agreeing with those people, GW...... outside influences are outside influences, no matter how we deal with them.
9:28 pm
hurshy

well, now we're getting metaphysical. but i would say that there is really good and there is really bad, and it's not just all in how you look at it - BUT that good can always come out of bad - sometimes it may take awhile...
9:28 pm
Jacula

Hursh - I know exactly where you are coming from.
9:28 pm
GreyWoulf

I know, Mama --- I tend to want to throw cream pies in their faces at public events :D
9:29 pm
mamabear

LOL, GW!!!!
9:29 pm
hurshy

but why must time pass more slowly when you're in pain???
9:30 pm
Jacula

Yes, of course it is our own perception that interprets things, but life ain't that simple. And thank God it isn't!
9:30 pm
mamabear

Bad times always pass more slowly than good times.... an unfairness of life!
9:31 pm
Jacula

Mama just said what I was going to. It's the truth, sadly.
9:31 pm
hurshy

yeah, life needs a fast forward button - aren't they coming out with a movie like that?
9:31 pm
mamabear

Something I used to say when my children were babies.... especially my son (GW - you might want to not read this).... he did not sleep through the night for 2 1/2 YEARS. No exaggeration. Now when I look back, the DAYS were forever, but the YEARS flew by.
9:32 pm
GreyWoulf

hurshy -- because pain makes us focus inwards and thus become more aware of ourselves and our limitations --- If you look back, it is the happy moments that end up becoming timeless in aspect causing you to say, 'where did the time go?' once you return to reality
9:33 pm
Jacula

GW - Same thing here, re son (though not for so long). Mama's so right there.
9:33 pm
hurshy

i don't know, when i look back on my life the things that stand out most are the embarrassing things, the painful things...guess i'm just pessimistic...and the stupid thing is, i've really had a pretty good life.
9:33 pm
GreyWoulf

Mama & Jac -- it is not the days I am worried about -- it's the NIGHTS! :D
9:33 pm
hurshy

lol GW
9:34 pm
mamabear

There were no days and nights... there was just endless TIME.....
9:34 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - LOL. Your baby wolf icon says it all!
9:35 pm
mamabear

Speaking of son.... I should tell you - he went to court last week and the case was dismissed. Thank God.
9:36 pm
GreyWoulf

Exactly -- it is a matter of perspective alone --- when you focus on a particular moment in time, you can alter your perception to make it last forever -- the trick (as the mystics well know) is to make the perception shift a constant state rather than momentary
9:37 pm
GreyWoulf

At least someone has gotten some good news and happy events, Mama :)
9:37 pm
Jacula

Hurshy - you may have been told before that life is too short for regrets. Thing is, once you get to my age, have seen your Dad go slowly, too slowly, through Alzheimer's (senile dementia) you know it's true. You know that daft old saying about counting your blessings? It is quite true.... so DO IT!
9:38 pm
hurshy

well - i will try. my therapist says i have probably had low-level depression all my life. so i might go on some medication for that soon.
9:38 pm
mamabear

Yes, GW..... were you on before to hear my new BAD news???? It will cost me $2,000 to fix my car. Needs a whole new trans.
9:38 pm
GreyWoulf

Wow -- I didn't mean to start such a heavy thread :o

I was just trying to make a joke :)
9:39 pm
hurshy

i'm sorry about your dad, though. i think that is one of the roughest diseases.
9:39 pm
hurshy

oh, it was my fault GW, i turned it all serious
9:40 pm
Jacula

Gather and remember all your sweetest memories, especially those that crashed in on you unannounced. When you get old, hold them to you and keep on seeing the funny side of things. It's the only way to survive.
9:40 pm
GreyWoulf

2 grand, Mama!!

You could get a new car for that much!
9:41 pm
mamabear

My philosophy (when I can remember to accept it) is that life is too short to take it too seriously.
9:41 pm
GreyWoulf

No sweat, hursh -- it needed to come out and I was merely fulfilling my role as priest :) I am always here for any who want/need to talk --- as several can attest to :)
9:42 pm
mamabear

Not a NEW car, GW, a used car, yes... but I already have a "used" car... and I know what I have in it. It is in very good shape otherwise, and I cannot afford a car payment. I am thankful I am getting a tax refund that will cover it, I just didn't want to spend it this way.
9:42 pm
hurshy

my philosophy is that life is too long and not worth the hassle...
that is only what i feel, not what i TRY to believe, though.
9:43 pm
Jacula

Hey guys! Don't get so serious! My Dad turned up from a neighbours' once with a stolen sausage in his pocket. My Mum told me, given it's shape and size, and you never knew then with him, that she just hoped to God is WAS just a sausage and not something smellier. His main 'thieving' trick was embroidered table napkins...
9:43 pm
GreyWoulf

Been there, done that Mama -- I have lost several refunds due to cars :\
9:43 pm
mamabear

I can understand that Hurshy.... there are some days when I just look to heaven and want to say "BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!!!"
9:44 pm
renfield

hey hey - i made it home!!!!
9:45 pm
hurshy

oh, do you like star trek too mama? i've been a fan since i was 7. i used to imagine that i was planted in this time as a baby so i could observe it naturally, and then after awhile the enterprise would come back and get me and find out what i learned. at recess.
9:45 pm
mamabear

Hi Rennie! Hope your trip home wasn't "taxing"!!!!!
9:45 pm

Hursh -- I used to be a major ST junky -- I am busy catching up in Next Gen on spike TV -- they just started reairing them from 1st season :)
9:47 pm
renfield

hurshy - that's would make a good sequel!!!! i like the at recess...
9:47 pm

HI ren!

i meant i imagined it at recess, just to be clear.
9:48 pm

hey wolfie!!! how's the snow storm?

mistress - i love the reaspberry!!!!!!
9:48 pm
hurshy

yeah - and another channel has started showing next gen episodes as well - G4?
9:48 pm
mamabear

Jac - you got me all wet with that one!!!!! That was a virtual raspberry like I've never witnessed before!
9:48 pm
renfield

LOL hurshy.......it's good either way!
9:48 pm
hurshy

i think jac soaked us all
9:49 pm
GreyWoulf

snow finished at about 10 inches by me -- I was off on Sun so had plenty of time to play with daughter in the snow and wait for the county to unbury itself :)
9:49 pm

it was a beaut!!!!!

I need to go to bed.
I need to go to bed, I said.
I need to go to bed and rest my sleepy head.
I need to go to bed.
The End
good nite and Happy Valentine's Day..... *hugs*
9:50 pm
Jacula

I wish my Dad could read the stuff I write about him now, but maybe he does, he seems to hear me or Paul when we need a certain tool to do something, it just seems to be 'found' suddenly/ I think my Dad would be writing his old, humorous poems about the state he got into before he had to leave here. I love my Dad! That's my St. Valentine's Day proclamation.
9:51 pm
renfield

wolfie that sounds like fun from where i'm sitting.....8)
9:51 pm
renfield

nite mama....see you later!!
9:51 pm
GreyWoulf

hursh -- you're right -- it is G4 that I was referring to, not Spike -- I am looking forward to 3rd season though -- that was when the stories finally stopped being too derivative of original and/or being Public service announcements
9:52 pm
hurshy

night mama!
9:52 pm
hurshy

yeah, and, which season was pulaski, 2? she was not as good.
9:52 pm

9:53 pm
GreyWoulf

ren - if I could send you some, I would :)
You'll just have to... come and visit!
9:54 pm
GreyWoulf

True, hursh -- but that was to be expected -- when a series continues after the original creative genius is gone, there is a necessary weak period until someone grows into the mantle
9:55 pm
hurshy

yeah.
9:55 pm

well, i had best be heading off - thanks all for being, as always, a great shoulder.

Dad, you gave me life,
Made me some kind of wife
To some long-haired scruff that may have come along.
But, you were not wrong,
the way to a man's heart is
still through his tummy,
Once you get past his Mummy.
But, I still need you Dad,
whether your advice was good or bad,
Don't leave me uncuddled,
just 'cos your brain was puddled.
I love you Dad!

If you then get your head kicked in for asking that, you may just take a knife to the chap and cu* ** anyway. Hope not, though!

A cynical song from Elton:
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learnedWhat it is to be in love and havethatovereturned
11:35 pm
renfield

mistress - you are bringing on the tears tonight!!!! that is very thought provoking!!!!
11:38 pm

Sorry once again, Ren. Sometimes life is just a sh** and then you die.

Elton song for Paul, this St. Valentine's night:

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach
