12:12 am

Ankhorite

Well, Jilli, they have learned that the cedar bedding actually hurts their feet and noses! I loved the smell of fresh cedar... but the oils in it were too harsh for hammy feet, etc.

hi, metal - a proper icon indeed.

12:45 am

metaleather

It's amazing the things you find on Google images... I'd never heard of this particular plane before.

12:45 am

cybernan

good evening, everyone

12:46 am

metaleather

hi nan

12:46 am

dyke-alicious

hi, hey how do I get an icon?

12:46 am

jillibus

metal -- good icon for Dec 7 -- not he "pearl" theme, though!

12:47 am

jillibus

dyke -- you have to "go pro" -- i.e, cough up the one-time fee of $14.95

12:47 am

msilver620

Hi there, to get an icon, you have to join. Did you join do that yet?

12:47 am

metaleather

I thought it was the theme.... Day of Infamy.... Pearl Harbor Day, or for those not remembering that day.... Pearls in general

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

OK, i need one 7 to attin mediocrity - the te7 - i am fully ready to slap head.

12:48 am

dyke-alicious

I signed up, is there more to joining than that?

12:49 am

DRBERNABO

i have that one, missing two others

12:49 am

jillibus

dyke -- see what I said at 12:47

12:49 am

msilver620

It's worth it! There are advantages. Yes, more than signing up. You have to pay on a credit card a one time fee for life of $14.95.

12:50 am

dyke-alicious

Oh, yes. Thanks everyone. I get paid next week...

12:50 am

msilver620

You get tile stats and word stats too

12:50 am

jillibus

metal -- Babbler's icon list doesn't give the day of infamy, just pearls, I remember it well, though -- it resulted in my father's being interned in Hong Kong

12:51 am

mymuseisme

ok, now dressed for the occasion

12:51 am

jillibus

beautifu, muse!

12:51 am

metaleather

nods, I thought I remembered someone saying something about it a few days ago. I could very well be mistaken though.

12:51 am

jillibus

*beautiful

12:52 am

mymuseisme

ty jilli

12:54 am

Ankhorite

Metal, I was the one who asked for pearls today, because of Pearl Harbor, but I asked unspecifically because of all the non-U.S.A. players; so pearls, or Pearl Harbor -- that's why December 7.

12:54 am

DRBERNABO

one more 7 to go

12:54 am

Ankhorite

Oh, Muse, CUTE! Hey, Dyke, when we "change clothes" or "change icons," you sometimes have to hit reload to see the new pic. I just changed *again* and Muse just changed.

12:55 am

mrpresident

12:58 am

DRBERNABO

12:58 am

jillibus

12:58 am

12:59 am

Ankhorite

Yes!! You know it! :)

1:00 am

DRBERNABO

too cute huh? okay. It is a bird and a usually suffix

1:00 am

Ankhorite

Dog one was Sophie Marie. She left us the hard way 10/2005; D2 was with us for two weeks early in November this year. :( But D2 is in a FABULOUS home with rich people, and a baby sister, and two human brothers.

1:00 am

DRBERNABO

Think of what Ah-nold did in three movies and drop a note that follows re

1:01 am

mymuseisme

melon sounds like the movie Arnold was in without the mi in it

1:01 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Dyke, a bunch of insomniacs (all over the world) combined with a bunch of bright-eyes (all over the world)

1:01 am

mymuseisme

Arnold the CA governor that is

1:02 am

DRBERNABO

see? it wasn't too cute...

1:02 am

Ankhorite

I've seen Ah-noldt nekkid, and will reserve opinion re cuteness thereof.

1:02 am

mirandapan

what adversity, me not being able to count or spell?

7:38 am

BabbleRabble

in a general sense

there us an old saying that is something does not kill you ist makes you stronger

7:41 am

i bet it's old for a reason....someone probably jumped the guy for saying that at the wrong time...however i acknowledge that adversity is a good thing.

7:41 am

kthdsn

I know the saying, I don't understand the context, how does it relate to babble

7:42 am

evanonut

here's a very interesting piece of information, did anyone know that the usa has NOT declared war?

7:42 am

BabbleRabble

le 5/16 == not rights

7:43 am

shmoozanne

oh good grief...duh! thanks...

7:43 am

kthdsn

the may not have declared it but they are still participating

7:43 am

evanonut

just something pointed out to me, didn't realize it.

7:44 am

shmoozanne

pe7 anyone?

7:44 am

BabbleRabble

war was not declared in viet nam either

7:44 am

kthdsn

someone still decided to fight, whether they said the phrase "I declare war" or not is surely irrelevant?

7:44 am

abe79

shmooz- sold, as in a marketplace

7:44 am

evanonut

that is interesting as well

7:45 am

gramma

Finally!

7:45 am

BabbleRabble

pe 7/36 === past tense of go pe**** your papers

7:46 am

GraceM

he 5/16 anyone?

7:46 am

BabbleRabble

and not declareing war in the US is not irrelevant since only Congress can declare war under the US constitution

7:46 am

abe79

Grace- king with many wives

7:46 am

BabbleRabble

so the war in viet nam was called a peace action despite 55000+ deaths

7:46 am

evanonut

it was relevant to something i was doing at the time which is why it was brought to my attention

7:47 am

kthdsn

I'm sure it's not irrelevant to all the people who are dying

7:47 am

gramma

I'm HE*** the eighth, I am. He*** the eighth I am I am

7:47 am

GraceM

ah...proper name threw me... thx

7:47 am

oh crap that made no sense, I meant I'm sure it is irrelevant to the people who are dying

the US is in Iraq under a resolution

7:47 am

kthdsn

giving it a different label doesn't make it any better or any worse

7:47 am

gramma

abe, did he have many wives or did she have many husbands?

7:48 am

evanonut

know what you mean kthdsn...

7:48 am

shmoozanne

still having trouble with the pe7....pe**** your papers?

7:48 am

Merk

Good Morning, everyone. I am finally back home and have the internet. I lost two days of babbling and it was a struggle to get the other ones done "on the road".

7:48 am

BabbleRabble

the people that died are done caring

7:48 am

abe79

who?

7:48 am

kthdsn

that's why I said the people who are dying

7:49 am

gramma

Enough of the political chat you guys. It's bound to upset and or offend and it doesn't belong on a fun game sight.

7:49 am

evanonut

and i don't quit caring when i die

7:49 am

kthdsn

wb merk, how did your survive without babble for 2 whole days

7:50 am

BabbleRabble

Oh, and you are the head censor, gramma?

7:50 am

kthdsn

gramma I don't mean to upset or defend, but if someone puts forward an opinion I disagree with I am entitled to add my views as well surely?

7:50 am

evanonut

babble, that's not nice

7:50 am

gramma

shmoozanne, pe7 a flower is pe...... change the spelling

7:50 am

kthdsn

oh crap I meant offend not defend, where did I leave my brain today

7:51 am

abe79

well, everyone have a great day. signing off now

7:51 am

BabbleRabble

I don't think anyone was really disagreeing

7:51 am

evanonut

kthdsn, whatever you're having...can i have some?

7:51 am

shmoozanne

oh...i see my error...i need the pe7/32, not the 7/36

7:51 am

gramma

kthdsn, of course you are. I'm just saying that this isn't the appropriate place for political debate.

7:52 am

Merk

Wow! The f words were a breeze today. Those double crossers are a big help.

7:52 am

kthdsn

as soon as I find out what it is I'll send you some nut

7:52 am

BabbleRabble

What bothers me is not having any guidelines and someone telling me stop

7:52 am

kthdsn

ok well I'm done, unless someone says anything else...

7:53 am

evanonut

so i'll come back later kay guys

7:53 am

shmoozanne

some of us find all of the infighting highly entertaining....so as far as i'm concerned, argue on!! ;o)

7:53 am

gramma

Thanks, kthdsn ;)

7:54 am

kthdsn

babble I think the only guideline here is not to bother other people, gramma and others don't want to hear politics so we should leave it off the board out of respect, not because there's a rule or guideline

7:54 am

BabbleRabble

Oh hogwash

7:54 am

BabbleRabble

gamma can ignore

7:54 am

kthdsn

lol it's ok to disagree but at least explain your point better than hogwash

7:55 am

BabbleRabble

why?

7:55 am

pabtrek

pe732 please

7:55 am

jean1953

good afternoon everybody again:)

7:55 am

kthdsn

because unless you communicate your point, noone understands it

7:55 am

BabbleRabble

you and gramma are telling me what I can or cannot say based on YOUR opinions?

7:55 am

Inge2

here's another plea for the pe7/32

7:55 am

kthdsn

hi jean welcome to the chaos lol

7:56 am

BabbleRabble

ignore it

7:56 am

GraceM

can someone clue the an5s?

7:56 am

kthdsn

you can say anything you like, I'm simply telling you my opinion

7:56 am

BabbleRabble

you started this an not call it chaos

7:56 am

jean1953

oh dear chaos is it lol

7:56 am

BabbleRabble

and said you would stop but go on

7:57 am

GraceM

BabbleRabble

kthdsn

7:57 am

kthdsn

woah I'm not attacking anyone

7:57 am

evanonut

babble, is this your "sociopath" side we are seeing?

7:58 am

BabbleRabble

go ahead no one is stopping you

7:58 am

GraceM

don't be mean.

7:58 am

Inge2

an5 = an+ Tolkien tree person, an4 = an+ coffee or **a?, an5 = picnic pest + **sist the urge to argue ad inifinitum

7:58 am

GraceM

BR is right. It was just a conversation. No need for censorship.

7:59 am

Inge2

those are the 3 an words I have

7:59 am

shmoozanne

anyone have pa7/32?

7:59 am

kthdsn

gramma was equally right, this is a game site for people to enjoy

7:59 am

GraceM

thx Inge but I don't know "tree person"

8:00 am

BabbleRabble

go enjoy

8:00 am

Inge2

not yet schmooze.

8:00 am

kthdsn

that's why there are no rules and guidelines, they would piss off one person or another

8:00 am

pabtrek

i think you mean pe shmooz

8:00 am

BabbleRabble

YOU are the one that cannot let it go

8:00 am

shmoozanne

8:01 am

shmoozanne

here's a tip for those who don't like the chat conversations...you can make your window smaller by moving the arrow on the right side halfway to the left...then, you don't see the chat log at all! Ah, the beauty of choice...

Snow is a scarce commodity in the EEC just now. A lot of the ski resorts are still green & pleasant lands. The skiers are well miffed.

11:13 am

metaleather

well, I'm fine as far as weather goes, at least for now. if anyone wants the lovely rhythmic sounds of a pile driver... I can supply that thanks to the construction crew across the street.

11:13 am

kthdsn

I can't get the principles one, principles as in head teachers or morals

Hiya Ren8 :

5:16 pm

Faerie

today we learned how to get out of someone pulling our hair or taking a knife/fork away from someone and stuff like that

5:16 pm

Faerie

the hair pulling would have come in handy when I was a kid LOL

5:17 pm

Mom

lol - I am sure every child would have like to have known that one.

5:17 pm

Faerie

right now I'm very confident that I could subdue a man/woman if needed :)

5:18 pm

Mom

that may come in quite handy, especially if you still have shopping to do for Christmas -- lol

5:18 pm

Faerie

hahahaha

5:18 pm

Faerie

5:18 pm

Mom

that is a good thing.

Faerie
