ardilla

good night melon

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

got the su 8 - it's a newish name for a tuberous vegetable - a speciality item.

12:57 am

ls1

are they still around helen? there are so few camp survivors left, i wish they could all travel and lecture. it was so powerful to me as a kid to meet people with tatoos!

12:57 am

saintfranny

i just bought the book 'night' - never read it

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

i'll stick around if another clue is needed.

12:58 am

saintfranny

saw elie on oprah, visiting ausch. very moving.

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

hi, many survivors where i live. they are getting old. one woman i am close to is in failing health - i have tried to soak up her story. many have told to spielberg's shoah visual history project.

12:58 am

helenkeller

nope, it will be 20 years next year since they died - i remember every time they met someone like at funerals or wedding, the first question always was 'what did you do during the war?'

1:00 am

ls1

my father is 84 and just started talking about his war experiences this year.

1:00 am

debbinla

those must be amazing stories - that shoah project is amazing

1:00 am

helenkeller

but they talked all about it, whenever the mood hit, very important to talk about what happened, one time my mom & i were at 6 flags, we're sitting & drinking ice tea & she is telling me about being interrogated by the gestapo, with this whole carnival going on in the background - it was surreal

1:00 am

drkaito

my grandmother was at Auschwitz and her sister was killed there. I visited the camp when I was 14.

1:01 am

helenkeller

ls1 - you encourage him to get it out, wow, how can he have kept that bottled up for so long?

1:02 am

saintfranny

its inconceivable to me how those people survived. i am a mess if i don't get a full night's sleep.

1:02 am

debbinla

they really are hero's if you ask me

1:03 am

helenkeller

i will not go & see schindler's list because the clips i

1:03 am

helenkeller

ve seen look exactly like what my mom described happening to her - i think it would be too painful for me

1:03 am

ls1

he had a heart attack in december and i think he's realizing that he's got valuable stories and has something to share. my mother said he would wake up screaming for years after the war so she worked at getting him to repress. she's very healthy, no?

1:04 am

helenkeller

i agree debb - it's amazing so many have been able to lead 'normal' lives

1:04 am

Norad

I have visited Dachau many times as an American army spouse. We lived in Bavaria for four years and whenever anyone visited, that was the first site on the agenda. Very unnerving. My father served at Nurnburg during the trials.

1:04 am

debbinla

oy - i'm glad he's getting to share now - so hard to have that all botled up

1:04 am

saintfranny

thats understandable helen. i think the rest of us owe it to those who survived and died to see it tho.. to not let the story fade

1:05 am

helenkeller

LOL ls1 - it's good to find humor ! although i think it must have been very frustrating for your mom, psychotherapy & pts not so popular back then

1:05 am

ls1

speaking of Auschwitz drkaito - my dad was invited by the leutenant leading the troops into there just after it was liberated. he was the only jew present, and among all the other horrible things he saw was some american soldiers lining up the german officers and shooting them. they then gave swords, etc to my dad.

1:05 am

melonheadjujube

the 1st time i saw my neighbor's tattoo i almost passed out. it made so real the idea that one person reduced another to a thing, a number.

1:06 am

saintfranny

oh my gosh Is1

1:07 am

debbinla

wow -

1:08 am

Norad

not all American soldiers did that though. A friend of ours that helped liberate Dachau said that he stopped other soldiers from killing the Germans. He said that killing them would have reduced our soldiers to their level. What a horrible position to be in...

1:08 am

helenkeller

i wish my mom had written this stuff down - she was starting to dabble in composition when cancer attacked her - i really need to write down everything they told, many horrible stories

1:09 am

debbinla

you should helen -

1:09 am

saintfranny

i'm not sure what's worse.. that it all happened to begin with, or that history IS repeating... in rwanda, darfur, etc.

1:09 am

helenkeller

my mom's camp was liberated by the british

1:09 am

ls1

there's a great documentary called paperclips about the school in tennessee or somewhere that worked to collect 6 million paper clips so they could understand the number. it's an amazing piece - really moving when you listen to the survivors

1:09 am

debbinla

you'd thnk people would learn - but they really dont'

1:10 am

helenkeller

i'm sure there are british records somewhere - my dad was in siberia at the start of the war, i doubt they kept records on that!

1:11 am

helenkeller

yes ls1 - i've heard of that!

1:11 am

drkaito

my mother writes down everything about my grandparents and has pages and pages of their stories. My grandfather, who was in the Polish army, passed away in October, and constantly spoke of how it was in Europe during the war. He was under General Anders and met my grandmother in Italy, where they were married. Later on, they came to the United States through England in 1950. My grandmother, on the other hand, never speaks of her past.

1:11 am

helenkeller

NOOOOOOO WAY DRKAITO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:11 am

ls1

it's hard to document all of it helen. my sister is a journalist and even she hasn't begun writing

1:12 am

ls1

you're really lucky drkaito

1:12 am

helenkeller

my dad fought under anders too - at monte cassino!!!!! my parents also met in italy briefly during the war - met again in london afterward , got engaged & got married !!!! WEIRD !!!!!!!!!

1:12 am

debbinla

wow - small world!!

1:13 am

saintfranny

it's a tiny tiny world :)

1:13 am

drkaito

omg...yes, monte cassino!!!!!!

1:13 am

helenkeller

drk - my dad & your grandfather must have known each other !!!!!!!

1:13 am

ls1

cool you two!

1:13 am

saintfranny

helen is your dad still around?

1:14 am

helenkeller

both my parent died in 1987 (i think the camp experience greatly contributed to early deaths)

1:15 am

saintfranny

ohhh that is Too bad

1:15 am

helenkeller

drk - i wish we had this conversation last year - i would love to have met your grandfather !

1:15 am

saintfranny

drkaito - where do you live?

1:15 am

drkaito

I bet they did!!! That is so neat!!!

1:15 am

drkaito

I live near Chicago

1:15 am

ls1

OMG!!!

1:15 am

saintfranny

Oh - do you and helen know each other IRL already?

1:15 am

helenkeller

I LIVE IN CHICAGO !!!!!!

1:16 am

drkaito

everyone who met my grandfather absolutely loved him!!!! He was the best person ever!

1:16 am

saintfranny

cuz i was just gonna say - She lives in chicago! ;)

1:16 am

drkaito

Oh, how cool

1:16 am

1:16 am

1:18 am

ls1

my husband grew up in gary

1:19 am

nis1508

how do u play this game

1:19 am

Uncagain

it really is kind of odd. when i was a kid growing up in the 50s, really the war was kind of just over. And, in south Texas anyway, none of the men talked about it. It was like they had taken some sort of mutual oath to forget the whole thing.

1:19 am

ls1

you two need to get together so helen can read your mom's stuff

1:19 am

Bash

All dese folks from Da Region!

saintfranny

1:21 am

drkaito

okay, I will. Next time I see my mom I will mention to her about this. I'm sure she would love to email you herself. My mom is 53 years old and knows much more than I do about my grandparents. Can I give her your email address?

1:21 am

helenkeller

lol - this small world syndrome is TOO funny!

1:21 am

Norad

nis1508

1:24 am

debbinla

have you been on the ellis island website - you can look all that stuff up

1:24 am

helenkeller

drk - when your mom e-mails me, tell her to refer to babble & your name here- although i'm sure i will know who she is by what she's going to write about :) - yes, drk - that really is amazing, do you know if your grandfather also fought in the middle east & north africa too?

1:25 am

helenkeller

my parents came here from london in 1952, i know my dad came first & found a place for them to live & then sent for my mom

No, needs another vowel.

1:44 am

Atalante

1:48 am

sprite

Oh dear god, I found a K7 all by myself!

1:48 am

Atalante

woot!

1:50 am

I am pretty sure 'orante' is a word. It is a way to hold your hands up in blessing.

1:59 am

st.ria

1:59 am

sprite

True, st.ria

2:00 am

FMitch

Morning all
Those k's are something else, I only recognise 2 of them. :(

2:01 am

sprite

I still have to find 6 more :(
Hi FMitch :)

2:01 am

Cat9x

Hi everyone, welcome st ria, very addicting!! I wonder how many times I will continue to try to use honcho?

2:02 am

sprite

Hi Cat! As many times as I will try un + C7, I am afraid.

2:03 am

Cat9x

LOL sprite! Hello !

2:06 am

Atalante

oh yeah ... that doesn't work, doesn't it!

2:07 am

sprite

It sounds perfectly common and it just won't take :(

2:07 am

Cat9x

I kept trying koran....won't take it, but it will if you change a vowel in it.

2:08 am

sprite

"All was burnt out completely, but he left the scene un + C7/40"
Sounds okay, doesn't it?

2:08 am

FMitch

There are lots of almost un words, so far I've only got one to take.

2:08 am

Cat9x

silly ucky K's, ugh!

2:09 am

sprite

I have Un6/24 and un7/56 so far.

2:09 am

Cat9x

sounds fine to me sprite

2:09 am

FMitch

Cat, that k5 you have can be expanded to a 6 & 7

2:09 am

Cat9x

care to clue those sprite? I haven't reached the un's yet :)

2:10 am

Cat9x

got the 6/24

2:10 am

sprite

Un6: get out of the box
Un7: get a breather again

2:11 am

Cat9x

Thank you FM! You too sprite!

2:11 am

mattygroves

Morning all! How's the grid?

2:12 am

Cat9x

morning Matty!

2:12 am

sprite

Tricky, but fun.

2:13 am

Haz1558

Good morning all - I'm ready to see what the grid contains.

2:14 am

sprite

3 more Ks needed. Slowwwwly but surrrrrely....

2:14 am

sprite

Hey Haz*hug*

2:14 am

FMitch

Grid contains too many hidden words today Haz!

2:15 am

Haz1558

Good morning sprite - are you well?

2:15 am

mattygroves

Got your box un, but looking for the breather one...

2:15 am

sprite

Most words are hiding behind almost-words

2:15 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch - the sun is shining here so it will illuminate the way. Is it still raining with you?

2:16 am

sprite

In Holland it is a beatiful November day.

2:16 am

FMitch

Glad you have the sun, it stopped raining during the night but not very bright and quite chilly. LOL sprite!!!

2:18 am

FMitch

once you have found the un7 add a letter to the start of it for the 8.

2:18 am

sprite

matty: un + C5/22, think of when you want to start driving your car, you have to use the C5. If you don't want to drown the engine, you need to Un7 later.

2:18 am

Haz1558

So is there hope for Wimbledon to see some more tennis than yesterday?

2:18 am

mattygroves

Can you hint again the un7? I have 'take a breather again'...

2:19 am

sprite

Thanks FMitch! Now that is a strange word!

2:19 am

FMitch

They are being optomistic re Wimbledon today.

2:19 am

mattygroves

Thanks sprite!

2:19 am

sprite

Hey, that 8 is a vegetable!

2:20 am

mattygroves

OK the eight is a VERY silly word.

2:20 am

mattygroves

Is it? A veg? What's it look like? Does it look like an arte...

2:20 am

FMitch

yes, it's a real word!

2:20 am

Haz1558

So if I get the grid finished early there may be a chance to see some tennis - that's an incentive.

2:20 am

FMitch

Go for it Haz

2:20 am

sprite

It does, matty. It is a Jerusalem variety of that one.

2:22 am

Cat9x

Finally finished the k's

2:51 am

Cat9x

2:52 am

Cat9x

did you get the odd ok4/9? Odd spelling, not meaning. At least to me.

2:53 am

sprite

Yes, I have that one. Looks like a word from India, but it isn't.

2:53 am

Cat9x

sure does doesn't it.

2:53 am

svso

There used to be a record label with the ok 4/9 name. It specialized in blues.

2:54 am

Cat9x

Interesting svso, thats a new one to me too.

2:56 am

sprite

Worst phantomword for today: deterrant!

2:57 am

Haz1558

But it's spelt with an e instead of an a at the end.

2:57 am

Cat9x

lol, that would be the worst, but the last half is a word!

2:57 am

sprite

Thanks Haz, I'll remember :)

2:58 am

sprite

And did you try harvest too?

2:58 am

Cat9x

missed harvest, stuck on otter now

2:59 am

Haz1558

I thought scarved would be acceptable, as in wearing a headscarf, but apparently not.

2:59 am

Cat9x

and un-tr4/5

2:59 am

sprite

Lol, yeah, that too.

2:59 am

FMitch

Don't know, I have 6 left and stuck.

3:26 am

Cat9x

Hi Amanda

3:27 am

sprite

It does, amanda! What would it mean? I submit : german verb for making snoring sounds at night, combined with grinding teeth.

3:28 am

Haz1558

That man would sleep alone.

3:29 am

sprite

Ich schlafe allein, weil er schnarrst.

3:29 am

amandacath

It's certainly something along those lines, Sprite - combined with dragging something noisy over the floor

3:30 am

sprite

It may not be valid, but you win the originality award for today, amanda ;)

3:30 am

Atalante

Ich schlafe allein, weil du schnarrst maybe? then at least the -st ending works LOL

3:31 am

Haz1558

A fellow language pedant!

3:31 am

amandacath

Thank you, thank you - wow! go Ata! wasn't going to bother correcting the conjugation, I figured no one would know anyway!

3:31 am

Cat9x

su6/33, odd word and no meaning listed on dictionary. It is su4/9 + the alien **. Anyone know what it means?

3:32 am

Haz1558

You never know who you're dealing with on babble, amanda!

3:53 am

Cat9x

I hate dentists, I put off what I shouldn't.

3:54 am

Haz1558

I have a feeling the pain from the abcess would be worse than anything the dentist would do! My husband had to have root canal treatment recently and it has worked a treat.

3:54 am

Cat9x

Did you get that last clue Bambam? Need more of a clue?

3:55 am

Bambam

Bambam

203 today

3:55 am

Preethi

isnt the vowel at the end the 5th vowel?

3:55 am

Cat9x

Thats what I think I need Haz, a root canal. But all they will do at this point is give me antibiotics till the infection goes down, then root canal.

3:56 am

Haz1558

The ko clue worked for me. It's the present tense of the moving swiftly word and the first vowel at the end Preethi.

3:56 am

amandacath

Oh dear - that's what I was afraid of - monkeys are going to get a good workout today!

3:56 am

Bambam

ko + ***, Forrest, ***!

3:56 am

Cat9x

the vowel goes on the end of the ko6/33, then plural that for ko7/48

3:56 am

Andree

hello Bambam

3:56 am

Bambam

Hi Mum, 4 mins til I can get the flock outa here (work)....

3:57 am

Haz1558

At least the antibiotics will give some relief, along with the painkillers. Hope you feel better soon.

3:57 am

Bambam

shame about the aussies last night.... they put up a good fight (in the world cup)

3:57 am

Preethi

Got it. Thanks Cat, Haz

3:58 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz, vicodin works great for the pain, but tends to make me nauseos. It's trade off I guess :)

3:58 am

Bambam

have a nice evening all, got 31 to do tomorrow..... that'll do me cheers!

3:59 am

Cat9x

you're welcome Preethi, bye Bambam

3:59 am

Haz1558

Bye Bambam.

3:59 am

Andree

bye Bambam

4:00 am

Preethi

Bye Bambam

4:06 am

Haz1558

There are a few babblets in the grid today. an4/9, Egyptian symbol of life, an5/10, cavern, ro4/4 (unit of weight, decay plus a consonant) sa5/10 looks like a male saint.

4:07 am

amandacath

and the volcano

4:08 am

amandacath

and the poker money

4:08 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz, didn't have one of those :)

4:08 am

Haz1558

Must see if I have any poker money.

4:09 am

Cat9x

what exactly is a babblet? Never quite understood that.

4:09 am

amandacath

babblet = words that no one has ever heard of, but determinedly show their ugly faces in the grid (sometimes not quite so ugly...)

4:09 am

Haz1558

I suppose a babblet would be defined as a word which appears reasonably often in the grid, is probably never used in normal life and is slightly oddly constructed.

4:10 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz :)

4:10 am

amandacath

...so often that we've come to recognize them immediately

4:10 am

Cat9x

Thanks amanda :)

4:11 am

amandacath

no prob!

4:11 am

Haz1558

There's a fish in the grid - I thought it was just extra well done barbeque food. (ch5/14)

4:11 am

Cat9x

The poker one is a babblet? Thats used alot in real life. At least for poker players :)

4:11 am

Haz1558

And the plural fish is there as well ch6/24

4:12 am

amandacath

yeah, you're right cat - it's not really a babblet

4:12 am

amandacath

and if that fish is overly grilled is there too

4:12 am

Cat9x

I didn't realize that was a fish, Haz. Interesting.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Ah - I always think of the poker word as latin 'before'. I had a sheltered background.

4:14 am

Cat9x

I grew up in a house of poker players, now my Son plays, that and pool and darts. He is in so many leagues it makes my head spin.

4:14 am

amandacath

See what an educated game poker is! The terminology is even Latin!

4:15 am

Cat9x

lol, true amanda :)

4:16 am

Haz1558

Maybe it all started in the days of ancient Rome...

4:17 am

Cat9x

He has a baby coming soon, in 4 weeks. I assume his idle time will be lessened. :) We will see how he fits all his "games" in after the baby!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Do you live close enough to be able to see the baby often?

4:18 am

amandacath

poker, pool, and darts - my midwestern protestant family would be appalled! Only thing not on the list is evil, evil pinball!

4:18 am

Cat9x

Yes I do :) They live less than 10 minutes away.

4:19 am

Haz1558

That's good - I'm sure you're looking forward to the new arrival. It's the circle of life, isn't it?

4:19 am

Cat9x

LOL, guess he "missed" pinball! He just came back from a statewide yearly tournament last night, darts. He did pretty good, trophies and some cash :)

4:20 am

Cat9x

Oh yes Haz :) My first Grandbaby, I am very excited!

4:20 am

amandacath

127 and thoroughly stuck - don't even know what to ask for!

4:21 am

Cat9x

He is a "serious" player, on all counts.

4:22 am

Cat9x

I have 22 left, and I have come to a standstill. Not feeling well, so think I will finish tomorrow. Try and get some sleep. Bye Haz and Amanda :)

4:22 am

Haz1558

I'm at 122 amanda and wondering where the rest can be! I'm going to take a break and come back to it later. And I do hope you feel better soon Cat!

4:22 am

amandacath

See ya, Cat! Hope you feel better soon

4:22 am

Cat9x

thanks amanda, bye

4:23 am

Cat9x

thanks Haz!

Good morning everyone. I'm finding this a horrible grid! Is it just me?

6:23 am

lynxxx

MRP was on last night - not sure for how long

6:23 am

FMitch

She was on yesterday but we haven't seen her since. Perhaps she is mourning Australia being out of the world cup.

6:24 am

Flask1

lol....

6:24 am

FMitch

Eva, what are you doing in Boston?

6:26 am

Eva

We still have an apartment here, so I'm doing some business and visitng friends. Boy it's hot and humid down here. Haven't been since Octobe and forgot also how noisy it is and how it doesn't get dark at night. But am enjoying myself, and looking forward to going to the MFA and eating lots of Indian and Thai food.

6:27 am

Haz1558

Hello again all. Eva, it sounds like you're having hot food as well as hot weather!

6:27 am

Atalante

hi Eva!

6:27 am

Eva

the best thing to have when it gets steamy

6:28 am

Eva

hi Atalante!

6:28 am

FMitch

Oh that all sounds good Eva. Yea, big cities never truly get dark. HAve they finished the big dig yet?

Hey Haz and Ata

6:29 am

Eva

I haven't checked re the BIg Dig-but I assume not-everyone here knows that it will never be finished and the major repairs have been going on for years already. Merp goes bonkers when we drive through the tunnel under the water...I think he knows something.

6:29 am

GraceM

favorite Thai in Boston area?

6:30 am

Eva

There are many good ones, but one of my favorite is on Cmmonwealth Ave near BU-its called Brown Sugar.

6:30 am

Eva

Are you from the Boston area Grace?

6:31 am

GraceM

LOVE Brown Sugar! Sugar and Spice on Mass Ave in Cambridge is great too.

6:31 am

Becca Lorum

Hi everyone. Babbling lunch break for me today - i have one hour only!

6:31 am

formerly of Cambridge, yes.

6:31 am

Eva

where on Mass Ave Grace?

6:32 am

GraceM

right near Porter Sq.

6:32 am

Eva

I've also been longing for the Pho Pasteur-no Vietnamese food in Montpelier

6:32 am

FMitch

Hey Becca - good luck it's a bit bigger today and much more ornery.

6:33 am

GraceM

absolutely... Pho is great... as is Elelphant Walk though that's much pricier.

6:34 am

Becca Lorum

Woah, yeah - I don't think I'll be completing it today

6:34 am

Eva

Love Elephant Walk, but too pricey except for special occassions. Have you ever been to the Helmand? Incredible Afghani restaurant over by where lechmere's used to be.

6:35 am

FMitch

You guys are making me so hungry, think I better go and get some luch BBL

6:35 am

GraceM

yes, went there once. This is making me so hungry!

Their bread is something else! Where do you live now Grace?

6:36 am

GraceM

If you like Mexican...Ole! in Union Sq. is great...

6:36 am

GraceM

Now I'm in Providence

6:38 am

Eva

Yup-another favorite. Did you ever go to the old Cottonwood when it was in Porter Square. Loved that, but the one downtown is not as good and too trendy. oooh-providence-so you can go to Al Forno's anytime. Only wnet there once. I hear that Providence is really coming along. Is that true?

6:38 am

aqua spring

Please clue for the su8

6:38 am

Eva

aqua-think of a veggie that has a ch___ in the center and leaves you have to peel off. Then add the opp of moon in front

6:39 am

GraceM

Yes, Providence has come a long way... lots of great restaurants and great old houses, museums, etc. Property taxes are some of the highest in the country though.

6:39 am

Eva

Add the moon opp in front of the ch5 that is

Related to the jerusulem thing that sounds kinda similar

Tiny

Sorry wrong box

7:59 am

hurshy

what does that mean?

8:00 am

Dorens

good hurshy, i'm not alone?

8:00 am

Atalante

knockout + rush. a knockout is a **, and another word for rush

8:00 am

hurshy

i thought that's what you meant by knockout but i was not sure about the rush bit

8:00 am

Dorens

thanks

8:01 am

hurshy

that still leaves 2 k's, sigh.

8:01 am

jaianniah

Do you have the kh that says "meow"?

8:02 am

hurshy

mmm, do you just mean that the kh in question sort of sounds like the animal that says meow?

8:02 am

Atalante

there are 7 kn's

8:02 am

hurshy

then i miss 2 kn's

8:02 am

jaianniah

Yes, I do- the vowel is diff, tho.

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

8:02 am

Haz1558

There's a kn5/20 that rhymes with the plural possessive, and it can be pluralised for kn6/33

8:03 am

hurshy

haz...which plural possessive?

8:03 am

hurshy

nvm, i got it :)

8:04 am

hurshy

yay for haz!

8:04 am

Dorens

thanks haz

8:04 am

jaianniah

Or the kn that sounds like kn+ what belongs to us? (plus plural)?

8:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

8:05 am

hurshy

i don't understand. the siesta was the spaniards' idea, why are they hammering away during siesta time in a fancy hotel?

8:06 am

jaianniah

Maybe the workers aren't Spanish!

8:06 am

aqua spring

good point jaianniah

8:06 am

Krista

8:06 am

hurshy

8:07 am

hurshy

if the workers are not spanish what would they be? and probably whoever TOLD them to hammer IS spanish.

8:07 am

Jacula

Apparently, 'noon' in Crete (siesta and quiet time) last from midday to 5pm. You aren't supposed to call on anyone or ring them during that time unless specifically asked to.

8:07 am

jaianniah

sorry i meant the rA6's

8:40 am

hurshy

oh well one ra6 is a noun form of a word about things being bawdy

8:41 am

jaianniah

ra6 rhymes with da5; other one is ra+ a kind of deoderant

8:41 am

hurshy

and i guess probably i am missing an ra6 then cause i have one other but it would be hard to imagine it would be described as one of the last 2, esp as there would only be 2...

8:41 am

jaianniah

deodorant

8:41 am

Atalante

one is a type of dressing plus a vowel

I got down to 100 left last night, just grabbed the list and entering things in before I start this morning. Grant's first day at music camp yesterday went well.

10:40 am

musicmom

That's good to know stid. Does he play an instrument?

10:41 am

stidmama

fiddle, and now trombone! :-)

10:42 am

musicmom

wow excellent. Sarah play violin when she was really small but now she plays flute. Marching band begins at the end of the week

10:43 am

stidmama

grant had "fife" lessons for a while, but it wasn't his thing. He is also not a piano player. Glad we found some instruments he enjoys. Matthew of course plays trumpet and piano...

10:44 am

musicmom

that is very cool. Sarah didn't love the violin, she plays a little piano (enough to be passable) but she loves the flute. I think Hannah is going to follow her mommy's footsteps and be a vocalist more than anything else.

the allergies alone would have me worried everyday she was out of my sight!

12:53 pm

Krista

yep - mine are flourishing. we are lucky to have a great hs community here. Homeschoolers always laugh when "socialization" is brought up.

12:53 pm

hate my life

that's harsh indy

sc5/12 not much, inadequate

12:54 pm

indybehr

are you afraid that they won't learn social interaction skills?

12:54 pm

Erda

you don't put a **** before a horse; add "s" in front...

12:54 pm

Krista

see below :)

12:54 pm

indybehr

sorry man public fails FAR more often than it suceeds

12:54 pm

specificity

socialization is a myth! only in public school do children ever associate with only peers their own age

12:54 pm

indybehr

true

12:55 pm

Lara226

sorry the other 5 12?

12:55 pm

specificity

my children feel comfortable interactiong with EVERYONE

12:55 pm

indybehr

I mean we learn to talk from our parents anyway

12:55 pm

hate my life

impossible for everyone to homeschool their children

12:55 pm

indybehr

there are good private schools out there

12:55 pm

Krista

Yep. Don't get us started, please. I have so many teachers in the family, and I respect them greatly. It's the system that is bad.

12:55 pm

Uncagain

i must be the most blind person in the game, the ra thing is beyond me. I guess i will try something else for a bit

12:55 pm

indybehr

it should not be the responsibility of the government to school children

12:56 pm

hate my life

and bad teachers to - not yours of course krista

12:56 pm

indybehr

ra + short hand for "you" + the letter following m + the last two letters of inch

StephieC

ra6 - rhymes with what a space shuttle does when it takes off

12:57 pm

Krista

I can see the need for public education...some parents would not do their job...but i am happy to have the choice. True, hate my life (sorry you hate your life, btw)

12:57 pm

Uneaixoise

great clue, stephie!

12:57 pm

Uncagain

hmm, ok, thanx. I dont think I ever was going to see that

12:57 pm

indybehr

I am a Libertarian so I think communities should be responsible for schooling their own children, and parents should be able to send their kids to whatever school they want

12:58 pm

indybehr

but the Fed Gov't should GET out of the education business

12:58 pm

well... my husband is going to be home from work soon, so I should go make him lunch. bye everyone!

12:59 pm

Atalante

my random 2 cents - I would have hated my mother deciding to homeschool me. thank goodness its not really allowed here (from my POV!)

12:59 pm

Erda

lol Steph...

1:00 pm

Krista

See ya!

1:00 pm

StephieC

bye! I'm going to!

1:00 pm

Krista

I thought it was allowed there, Atalante.

1:00 pm

Atalante

not really I don't think

1:01 pm

Krista

I think your schools are much better there. A home schooling mom friend of mine was schooled in England and speakes very highly of it.

1:01 pm

StephieC

i meant too!

1:01 pm

CadFan

My parents would not have been capable of homeschooling us. THey both graduated High School- but did not have the skills, especially at the higher levels. once I got into school.

1:01 pm

Krista

speaks, even

1:01 pm

Atalante

its not an official alternative, and I think that parents can get fined / plonked in jail for not getting their kids into school

1:02 pm

indybehr

but the point is the governmaent can not be responsible for teaching our kid

1:02 pm

indybehr

PARENTS should make sure kids are educated

1:02 pm

Erda

are you guys going to play the game or what?

1:02 pm

indybehr

and the kids also have some responsibility

1:02 pm

mothmaam

No, the point is each society and parent is deffernt and each needs different alternatives to succeed. Like in Babble.

1:02 pm

mothmaam

or different, perhaps. Alt spelling.

1:02 pm

indybehr

OK - I'll buy that

1:02 pm

Uncagain

education of chilren is a really difficult subject

1:03 pm

mothmaam

Maybe I should have been homeschooled!

1:03 pm

Krista

I hate to take the side of a system I don't like, but you are talking about ideals, not harsh reality, indy. I mean no disrepsect.

1:03 pm

indybehr

I am playing the game LOL

1:03 pm

Munner

I was a public school teacher throughout my kids' education. All graduated with honors, three got scholarships to college and graduated. I was qualified to home school, but my daughter especially would have HATED it. But now, our county schools have gotten so awful that I wouldn't allow my kids or grandkids to go to them.

1:03 pm

FMitch

Do you want any clues Erda?

1:03 pm

Lara226

can I ask for a clue to the 2nd sc5/12

1:03 pm

indybehr

true - but until wee realize how the gov't has FAILED and we need to do something else

1:03 pm

CadFan

Public School is certainly not the answer for every kid. At least not in the US system. It works for most kids, but certainly not for all.

1:03 pm

leighprefect

Am I missing something? I have the first ho 4/5 and then the 5/12, but I can't figure out the 5/14, and I have tried everything.

1:03 pm

Erda

I'll come back later -- this is boring

1:04 pm

leighprefect

Erda- Sorry to be so boring.

1:04 pm

CadFan

which 4/5 leigh?

1:04 pm

Krista

Yep, it's all about having the choice, methinks. I always wanted to be a teacher, but saw how the "politics" of the job got to everyone. Erda, you are rude.

1:04 pm

CadFan

nevermind no I see you said ho

1:04 pm

indybehr

I mean there are people who do not know the difference between their/there/they're

1:04 pm

indybehr

she must be a kid

1:05 pm

Munner

Erda obviously doesn't have a vested interest in educating children. I hope I never lose that passion. But Amen to CadFan's comment. You have to be the chief advocate for your own children and do what's best for each one.

1:05 pm

Leighanne

i'm new to babble and haven't chattered but have been reading. i'm a homeschool mom and a nurse. it is a choice i'm glad i have but know it is not for everyone. however, today we have so many opportunities. we are involved with a co-op so that as a group of mothers there are others that are qualified to teach higher subjects and take on that responsibility, giving mom a break and giving kids the chance to be with other kids and responsible to other adults.

1:05 pm

Krista

There's a spray for that, you know.

1:05 pm

indybehr

the thing that bothers me the most about home schoolers is that they are usually religious separatist that want to make a point at the expense of their kids

1:06 pm

CadFan

The one that gets me is that people do not know when to use "I" versus "me"

1:06 pm

FMitch

Leigh ho5/14 pl of the root word

1:06 pm

indybehr

I am a grammar Nazi and proud of it!

1:06 pm

Krista

grammar pet peeve of all time - the use of "myself" instead of "me"

1:06 pm

Leighanne

We live in a wonderful country that allows us to worship as we choose and yes many of us do have our faith in Christ central to our home and classroom.

1:07 pm

indybehr

I understand that - but I also feel that forcing religion into public school is wrong

1:07 pm

Leighanne

trad

1:07 pm

leighprefect

I have the pl.

1:07 pm

Atalante

leighanne - what if the kids don't want to participate in the religious aspects? am just interested, not judging at all!

1:08 pm

Lara226

clue for 2nd sc5 12 please???

Clues for the 8 plz......

1:08 pm

Uncagain

I do know of folk who don't believe that reading and writing are important especially. But , they have strong beliefs in other areas that they think should be taught to their children. It gets sticky when they decide to homeschool.

LOL Munner!! Tell him you are Grammar Police, there to make an arrest.

YEAH!!!

Munner

I've often been accused of policing other folks' grammar. It especially bugs me when the offender is another teacher, principal, or politician.

1:10 pm

indybehr

I had a reading teacher in 6th grade who pronounced Penelope as Pen - a - lope

1:10 pm

I do some work with a school that sent a newsletter home to all the parents - with its own name spelled wrong!

1:10 pm

OMG

1:10 pm

leighprefect

D'oh. Got my 5/14. Was not paying attention to where it was coming from.

1:11 pm

Munner

Current most irritating one to me is people who talk about "conversating" with each other.

1:11 pm

Krista

Funny - I had a 6th grade teacher that said ARCH-nid instead of arachnid. I hate that I still remember that. Cute shirt, TheFiz.

1:11 pm

indybehr

I do not have kids but if I did they would go to private academies

1:11 pm

TheFiz

My peeve is "artic". and improper use of its/it's

1:12 pm

Oh yeah! I hate that toooooo

My pet peeve is good/well. I correct my boyfriend every day.

1:12 pm

Krista

That's what's cool, indybehr, when YOU can be the decider.

1:12 pm

indybehr

that and the fact that our own presidunce can't pronounc nuclear

1:12 pm

Leighanne

as parents i think that most of our children want to be a part of what we as parents hold important. Christ is central to our marriage and lives. Your relationship with Christ is a choice. God wouldn't have it anyother way. That is the way we have raised our children. We expect a respect for our belief in our home and they have followed into a belief. Sorry if spelling is bad. I worked last 2 nights, should be sleeping now. hope that answers your question atalante

1:12 pm

Krista

(tee hee)

3:52 pm

FranMag

phantom word is one that is almost in the puzzle but not quite

3:52 pm

mattygroves

I sometimes do the NY times puzzle - when I'm in the States, and sometimes when I buy a Herald Tribune. I miss that puzzle - much better (for me) than British puzzles.

3:53 pm

ardilla

thank you very much

3:53 pm

FranMag

none of the Hawaii papers have it, i may get it on line if i ever find the time to do it again.

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

4:11 pm

mattygroves

I'd feel stupid having to ask for easy words. I'm working on the two es's at the moment, and I'm sure they're simple!

4:11 pm

Munner

4:12 pm

saphyre

I was thinking of calling Noah to reserve a spot on the ark Krista

4:16 pm

mattygroves

4:16 pm

Krista

Oh hey, saphyre...are you flooded there?

4:16 pm

Munner

Had a treatment this morning, Krista, and feel good except for the 2 or 3 day pain from the Neulasta shot. No big complaints.

4:16 pm

mattygroves

Waynesboro! Good lord, small world. I used to fly into Hagerstown

4:17 pm

stidmama

Munner, keeping you in my thoughts. Wish I could do more than that!

4:17 pm

saphyre

the parking lot of the hotel looks like a marina down here Krista

4:17 pm

mattygroves

What part of London, Krista?

4:18 pm

Munner

4:18 pm

Krista

Are you safe where you are. saphyre?..he lived in muswell hill right before he moved here

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

FranMag

not really stid, it rains, but not many, many days in a row

4:18 pm

stidmama

I remember in Puerto Rico there were times when it rained part of every day for what seemed like forever (but I was only 5 and 6 at the time...)

4:19 pm

helenkeller

i don't know why i keep hitting the return in the middle of sentences either

4:19 pm

mattygroves

So, bad weather on the East Coast? Mum's still in Philly. Krista, I live in SW London, rather than north.

4:19 pm

saphyre

so far we're ok, my house is up on a hill right where the cliffs start so we're good

4:20 pm

debbinla

they were showing cars and trucks on the news with the water line up near the windows - poor east coast

4:20 pm

FranMag

stid, parts of the island rain a little every day, the 41 days was a lot of rain and all day everywhere!

4:20 pm

Krista

Are you near Calvert's Cliffs? I havent' been fossil hunting for years. Sounds like you have a lovely view!

4:20 pm

mattygroves

How's Philly faring?

4:20 pm

saphyre

yes in chesapeake beach right at the start of the cliffs

4:21 pm

saphyre

plenty of shark teeth all around

4:21 pm

Krista

I don't know about Philly...probably getting hit, too. oooh, I'm jealous, saphyre. I love it there. My little girl hasn't been sharks teeth hunting yet.

4:22 pm

saphyre

should take a trip down here it's only 30 minutes from dc

4:22 pm

stidmama

sure. It's like here. We expect "rain" 9 months of the year, but it's not usually heavy and constant... though we had a few weeks this year when it was both!

4:23 pm

mattygroves

I haven't been to Waynsboro since my grandparents died - they liked the kind of restaurants older people do (you know, shut at 7.00) = is Gus and Ted's still there?

4:24 pm

Krista

I've been meaning to this year - it's on my list! She will LOVE fossil hunting. I'll have to pick your brain closer to the time for a good beach - the places we used to go are no longer publicly accessible.

4:24 pm

saphyre

we have a beach right here in my neighborhood - brownings beach

4:24 pm

Krista

Mountain Gate is like that..old fogies, but good food. Never heard of Gus/Ted's, but I don't get up there much.

4:24 pm

stidmama

if can "construe" why can't one strue? *pout*

4:25 pm

saphyre

it's open to the public

4:25 pm

Krista

"to strue with"

4:25 pm

FranMag

i tried it too stid!

4:25 pm

Krista

Oh good! thanks, Saphyre. I'll look it up! That is very helpful. The state park is partially closed for improvements, I read.

4:26 pm

saphyre

yes it's been closed for over a year

4:26 pm

FranMag

4:26 pm

saphyre

4:26 pm

stidmama

4:27 pm
