12:31 am

bookwomen

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

you're better off not knowing - when i was a teen "did you clean your room" was a code amongst us kids that meant "did you close your door" - my dad was a neat freak & did not understand messiness as a phase (lifelong in my case)

12:32 am

Crone

you know what they say: one decent lightning strike and we could create life

12:32 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, all

2:27 am

lynxxx

LOL BabbleR - I thought that - now if I can just figure out the end....

2:31 am

lynxxx

actually doesn't that du mean the most chubby person (OK - overweight) ? or is it too hot here and Im not thinking straight

2:32 am

brandyjack

i don't think they would have to be the most overweight, merely severely unkempt.

2:32 am

brandyjack

thanks for the clue by the way....

2:33 am

FranMag

lynxxx, def says most short and squat

2:33 am

MVA

lynxxx

thats what I thought - that word is used much anymore

2:35 am

FranMag

did you all hear about the guy who saved the young man in the subway?

2:36 am

FranMag

20-year old man had a seizure and fell onto the tracks. this guy jumps down, throws himself over him to keep him from flailing and the train that was coming just cleared them.

2:36 am

lynxxx

I did on the radio coming home - quite amazing what people can do under extreme circumstances

2:37 am

FranMag

his two little girls were on the platform with him and watched while the train passed, not knowing if they were going to make it. just amazing!

2:37 am

MVA

was that the man who didn't want his children seeing a man killed by a train? if so how brave!!

2:37 am

brandyjack

was lucky he missed the third rail.... or that the seizuring guy didn't flail onto it.... would have been mildly cripsy critters....

2:38 am

FranMag

so many things could have gone wrong, they said the clearance under the train is like 21 inches, they were at about 20.5 inches!

2:40 am

FranMag

he's on letterman (or was) tonight.

2:42 am

MVA

Just come back from playing on another site ... get a few in before I go to bed and read

3:31 am

Haz1558

And how are you finding the grid?

3:32 am

Angb

I have really enjoyed it - lovely sounding words. Although having probs with top left hand corned at present.

3:32 am

Kazzer99

lots of 3 letter plurals so far been doing it for 20 mintues or so

3:32 am

Kazzer99

eats

3:32 am

Angb

Hey Kazzer hope that you are putting those words in to the word box too

3:33 am

Haz1558

I'm still at the jumping around stage putting in words wherever they jump out at me.

3:33 am

Kazzer99

yes - I have finger troubles most of the time

3:36 am

Angb

No problem Kazzer - just would hate you to get to the end and not have all those words ... think that's where I lose mine often - or leaving the cursor off the right spot when I am moving the page around. Must get a bigger monitor LOL

3:37 am

Kazzer99

its very easy to forget that you were talking to folks when you sea a word and forget to click back to the word box - how are you doing?

3:37 am

Angb

109 to go - so half way - I try to get half of all the boxes first. Then ... well see how much time I have

3:38 am

Angb

What about you?

3:38 am

Kazzer99

Sounds a bit like me - tend to get about have and then wonder off for a break

3:39 am

ren8

morning, hows the grid today

3:39 am

Angb

Hi ren - not too bad - the first half is fun

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning ren - not long started but okay so far.

3:39 am

Angb

Not too sure about second half - just getting into that bit

3:40 am

ren8

Hi Angb & Haz - Better get started then before little man requires my attention

3:48 am

how is it today?

4:01 am

Haz1558

So far okay, but I think it may get sticky....

4:01 am

Kazzer99

Not too bad - lots of 3 letter plurals

4:07 am

miametro

gosh. there ARE rather a lot of 4 letter words aren't there?

4:07 am

Haz1558

Now that you mention it.... I've only just looked at the word stats.

4:11 am

FranMag

hi all!

4:11 am

Haz1558

Hello Fran - you're back!

4:12 am

FranMag

yes, 70 left, i wanted to whittle it down a bit more before going to the list in the morning.

4:12 am

Haz1558

I think I'll be diving for the list long before 70. I'll keep looking for a while....

4:13 am

Kazzer99

Hiya Fran

4:13 am

FranMag

hi kazzer

4:14 am

FranMag

meaningless protest that upse** is not accepted, it something we always do in retail.

4:18 am

Haz1558

I'm surprised that gilet isn't accepted - it's used commonly here

4:19 am

FranMag

what does it mean haz?

4:20 am

Haz1558

It's a type of waistcoat - not the fitted kind, more like a sleeveless jacket, if that makes sense.

4:20 am

Kazzer99

Also leat is not in the dictionary - its used here to describe a man made small stream

4:20 am

FranMag

like a tunic almost?

4:21 am

Haz1558

A gilet would normally have a zipper or buttons down the front - it can be padded, almost like an anorak.

4:21 am

FranMag

i think i can picture it.

4:22 am

Haz1558

If you can think of pictures of hunting/shooting/fishing types, then that is the idea. But they're also used as fashion items, not in the anorak mode.

4:22 am

Haz1558

But enable doesn't believe in them!

4:22 am

FranMag

sounds like something you might find at Burberry's i'm thinking.

4:22 am

sprite

morning all

4:23 am

FranMag

hi sprite! i haven't seen you for ages!

4:23 am

Yes - but the term covers lots of different types. Good morning, sprite.

Hey Fran *hug*

I agree, gilet should be valid.

4:25 am

FranMag

hi kate!

4:25 am

FranMag

sounds like it should be a word.

4:25 am

Haz1558

It joins a long list of wannabes.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Or should that be oughtabes?

4:26 am

FranMag

oughtabes sounds good. :-)

4:26 am

sprite

it IS a word. At least in dutch, french and some, I think.

4:26 am

kthdsn

4:26 am

oughtabes! Brilliant word :)

4:29 am

FranMag

phantom: luau

4:29 am

ahhhh that would have been nice. Has it ever been in a grid, that you remember?

4:30 am

marpocky

this is a really terrible grid for phantoms

4:30 am

FranMag

it's been a while sprite. definitely not in the last month.

4:30 am

FranMag

it sure is marpocky

4:31 am

sprite

phantoms and oughtabes. True marpocky

4:31 am

marpocky

"jumps" keeps staring at me

4:31 am

They are very close to other words, though.

4:36 am

sprite

More than a bit, I reckon, ConX. Hope she will be out of there and well very soon.

4:36 am

Haz1558

Yoink - haven't seen you for ages!

4:36 am

ConXshun

they're pulling her innerds out - literally. sewing them back together and putting them all back in again.

4:37 am

Yoink

Hi Haz, mostly just lurk these days

4:37 am

sprite

that is certainly nerve wrecking.

4:37 am

kthdsn

you're in the right place conx, we'll try to keep your mind busy

4:37 am

caitlyn

I hope all goes well for her (and you )

4:37 am

Haz1558

Thanks for the il words, anyway, Yoink.

4:37 am

FranMag

thanks yoink!

4:38 am

ConXshun

In september they took her whole colon out and she;s had a stoma (bag thing). this operation is to remove the stoma, let the small intestine get used to doing all the work and hope all is well. (which will take two years or so...) thanks for your care and support!

4:38 am

sprite

hi Yoink

4:38 am

ConXshun

can you stop my tummy churning kth? ;)

4:39 am

Yoink

No probs, worked my way up to 150 so far without the list, nice grid. Hi Sprite

4:39 am

kthdsn

I wish i could conx but i'm not that good lol

4:39 am

sprite

Nope, we can't, ConX. Hugs for you and her, we'll be thinking of you both.

4:39 am

Haz1558

Con - I hope all goes well, Isn't it amazing what can be done? And that tummy churning will be stopped by nothing!

4:40 am

ConXshun

some breakfast may help.... and a bath....

4:40 am

kthdsn

how long will she be in theatre for conx

4:40 am

ConXshun

yeah, medical world is brilliant really.

4:41 am

Kazzer99

BEst Wishes to you Both Conx

4:41 am

FranMag

that will help, but being a mother means you'll always have that tummy churning.

4:41 am

caitlyn

Thats aways my cure Con a nice long soak in the bath always helps

4:41 am

sprite

Anything to keep your mind busy, ConX :)
Take care of yourself, or try to anyway.

4:41 am

ConXshun

this operation is just over an hour. The first operation was 4 hours!

4:42 am

ConXshun

So actually this is peanuts... :§

4:42 am

sprite

lol - yeah sure.

4:42 am

Haz1558

And still the tummy churns....

4:42 am

kthdsn

oh that's not too bad then, at least you know it will all be over soon and then you'll know she's ok

4:42 am

ConXshun

lol! indeed it does haz!

4:43 am

caitlyn

Has anyone used my icon clue?LOL

4:43 am

ConXshun

4:44 am

Haz1558

Brillian - thanks caitlyn!

4:44 am

4:45 am

Yoink

Him and his friends are one of only 3 7s I have Caitlyn, not having much luck spotting them so far

4:45 am

ConXshun

so right kazzer. she was 23 in december and over the past few months she's been more my little girtl than ever before

4:45 am

caitlyn

Oh I didnt know Fran I will change it for this afternoons session!!

4:45 am

ConXshun

oooooo phone!!!

4:45 am

Haz1558

I have 4 of the sevens, so am not much further on, Yoink.

4:46 am

FranMag

i found the 8 all by myself today!

4:46 am

Kazzer99

I think I am being stupid - what icon clue

4:46 am

FranMag

only 6 of the 7s here.

4:46 am

caitlyn

Well done Fran!!

4:46 am

FranMag

kazzer, you might need to refresh your browser.

4:47 am

Yoink

This grid badly needs an R, I can see loads of words if only there was one

4:47 am

Haz1558

Kazzer - click on the icon. Fridays are always the day when people give a clue to a word in the grid with their icon.

4:47 am

Haz1558

are always the days when....

4:48 am

marpocky

i found the il4 but i've tried every combo for the il5 and still nothing

4:48 am

Yoink

Just stick a consonant on the end of the 4

4:48 am

Kazzer99

Thanx got that one

4:48 am

FranMag

marpocky, you have to repeat the consonant.

4:48 am

Haz1558

marpocky - add a consonant to make the word end like a snake like fish (almost)

4:49 am

marpocky

oh wow, there it is. thanks you 3

4:49 am

Haz1558

And if you lose the i at the front, you get an l4 word

4:50 am

marpocky

i just found this game 2 days ago and i'm already addicted

4:50 am

Kazzer99

Clue for il 4

4:51 am

Haz1558

It has that effect.

4:51 am

Haz1558

il4/4 - add two vowels

4:52 am

Kazzer99

Thanx again

4:52 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:59 am

kthdsn

It's the cheapest addiction on the market, and the most time consuming also

5:09 am

Haz1558

So, Yoink, we were talking about sevens. Have you anything different from ag7/36, la7/28, pi7/40, ta7/28? I haven't gone to the list yet, wanted to get a few more.

5:10 am

kthdsn

did I miss the last i clue, I have a 4 and a 6

5:10 am

Haz1558

Add a consonant to the il4, kth

5:10 am

marpocky

there's a mu7/44

5:11 am

thanks haz

5:13 am

Haz1558

Got the mu7, thanks.

5:14 am

Haz1558

So enable accepts french sizes, but not french waistcoats..... Thanks for the ta7, Yoink.

5:15 am

marpocky

so this list thing, how does it work? i'm not ready to resort to it yet but i'm curious about it

5:17 am

Haz1558

The list may just save your sanity some days, marpocky. Two babblers publish lists each day of the words giving first two letters and points values. You can access lickety's list from under Friends of Babble (Lickety's babble clues) or Brandyjack's list through Babblers Anonymous. For lots of info, read Angelsong's Babble Page, again under Friends of Babble at the left bottom of the page.

5:17 am

marpocky

ah. i'll have to check it out when i get down in the "few words left" category perhaps

5:18 am

Yoink

Not seeing the mu7

5:18 am

Haz1558

It can vary from day to day, depending on what the grid is like. Some players like to do it without the list, but they seek help by asking for clues. I like to use the list when I'm ready, and also use online dictionaries.

5:19 am

Haz1558

Think of a horse called Sally, Yoink.

5:19 am

Yoink

Thanks, Haz

Hmm, it wasn't the compound word that I expected--still looking

6:05 am

Katydid0615

scrabbler - use ending meaning "the most"

6:05 am

Haz1558

It's superlative rather than compound, if that's any help. And it's not flattering either!

6:06 am

Scrabbler

TY--I thought it was going to be du4,8 + si4,4

6:06 am

Mom

9:11 am

ren8

Afternoon, lets try again

9:12 am

Yoink

I think I'm about to give in also, Haz

9:13 am

Haz1558

But then, I''m notoriously impatient. I read the back of detective novels just to avoid suspense.

9:15 am

Yoink

Argh, had missed an incredibly simple ti4/5 somehow

9:16 am

raelite

I'm glad someone else does that too, Haz

9:17 am

Haz1558

It helps you keep an eye out for the baddy.

9:17 am

raelite

I actually took "20th century murder mystery novels" in university

9:18 am

Haz1558

And your favourite authors?

9:18 am

raelite

I really like Umberto Eco but other than that, they really didn't appeal to me much

9:19 am

Haz1558

So did the course put you off the genre?

9:19 am

raelite

no...I really have never liked the genre...the Sue Grafton books are good...I prefer historical fiction

9:20 am

raelite

the prof was a published author himself and he a great teacher

9:21 am

Haz1558

I assume it was part of an English Lit course?

9:21 am

scarydeb

Raelite - it seems no one in England reads Sue Grafton apart from myself

9:21 am

raelite

I took it for my english major...lol scary...and because I was also majoring in classics I had all this background to the books...I found them predicatable

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

haz ty - i'd forgotten your icon!

9:23 am

Haz1558

Ah - it has inspired you, TO!

9:23 am

scarydeb

I like them as a nice easy bath read

9:23 am

raelite

they are and the heroine is so real, she seems very approchable

9:24 am

scarydeb

I am Kinsey

9:24 am

ConXshun

she's had a second operation on her guts, smooth. Colon was taken out in september. ALL of it because of colitis. Now the small intestine has been all joined up so she can have a 'normal' life. Needing loos much more often, but at least no outside of body bag thing. Amazing what a body can adapt to doing - or without having.

12:25 pm

ConXshun

now I must go as dinner is ready.

12:25 pm

smooth_pappa

wow con, that's quite an ordeal... but yes... I knew a woman who had a similar procedure... it is amazing the adaptibility of the body

1:08 pm

kthdsn

I was doing fine until he turned up, now I feel like crying, but I refuse to because I don't know what I want to cry for

1:08 pm

phandmd

got it

1:09 pm

kthdsn

he said he's trying to get a loan to buy my half of the house, he says he thinks he can arrange it so I get the money and he takes on the whole mortgage, does that sound right to anyone?

1:09 pm

Yvo

Kth rather the go through this you might ask him to call before he shows up

1:09 pm

magzel

el 7/32 amd both first and second and el6/21, the first please

1:10 pm

kthdsn

he did call yvo, but it was still a shock

1:10 pm

smooth_pappa

well, kate, I have never owned property or housing, but if you are trying to leave, I don't see how that would be a problem

1:10 pm

kthdsn

surely if he bought my half I would be expected to spend that money on my half of the mortgage though?

1:10 pm

debbinla

sorry kthd - that must be awful having to deal with him

1:11 pm

smooth_pappa

EL 7/32... the ethos of feeling superior to others

1:11 pm

phandmd

No, Kth, I don't think so. He is buying you out

1:11 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, if he buys your half, you have no mortgage... he takes it all

1:12 pm

kthdsn

so I get the money and he keeps the entire mortgage, even though it's in both our names?

1:12 pm

smooth_pappa

EL 7/32... EL + The School teache ed*c***** me

1:12 pm

magzel

if he buys you out with a lump sum the mortage is his problems. the question here is can he get the money, make sure je can before you sign anything. make sure you have cah in hand

1:12 pm

phandmd

yes, pretty sure that's how it works.

1:12 pm

smooth_pappa

well, it wouldn't be in your name if he bought it from you

1:12 pm

LoriP

You sign off the mortgage if buys you out. You no longer owe the debt.

1:12 pm

jwest302

hello

1:13 pm

BabbleRabble

If the mortgage is in both of your names, the lender is not obligated to take your name off and ca n look to your for payment. However, if the payments remain current, the lender may not accelerate the loan requiring immediate payment

1:13 pm

LoriP

By the way, g'd afternoon Babblers

that just seems very odd to me, we payed £50k for the house, so if he borrows £25k to buy my half he owns a 50k house and owes 75k for it?

does anyone have a clue for the last gi4,6 word?

1:14 pm

kthdsn

oh thanks babble, so I would still be liable to pay the mortgage if he didn't

1:15 pm

phandmd

No, Kth, pretty sure a new mortgage is drawn up. I guess it actually depends on the current value of the home. It may be as simple as taking your name off the mortgage, but at a price.

1:15 pm

LoriP

KT, he would have to negotiate that with you and a lender. It also depends on if there's equity and so on. It can be very complicated, and you should be evry aware of the conditions. A mortgagor will be......

1:15 pm

smooth_pappa

but kate, if you did go to canada, like you mentioned, I think it would place the onus on him to pay... but I should really shut up, since I have NO experience with this sort of thing. ;)

1:16 pm

inge

kate, you should talk to someone in GB about these things. Can you talk to the Canadian consul there?

1:16 pm

kthdsn

I'm so confused lol, I will ask when i go to citizens advice on monday

1:16 pm

BabbleRabble

yes, because it is highly unlikely the lender will remove you name. in fact, if you try to get your name off the mortgage, the lender may feel insecure and try to acceerlate the loan

1:16 pm

LoriP

I would be very very wary of simply having my name removed from a mortgage. A lender will not just remove your name, it's not that simple.

1:17 pm

inge

good idea, Kate, cause mortgage laws in the USA are different from Canada and from Great Britain

1:17 pm

lynxxx

The Citizens advice thing would be good Kate. Each countries laws will be different.

Exactly Babble.

1:18 pm

kthdsn

I know phan, but they don't usually go from sharing debts to one person walking away with cash

1:19 pm

phandmd

I don't know, never had to go through that. Anyway, always seek the advise of an attorney in everthing you do with regard to your divorce

1:19 pm

magzel

kate you definitely need a lawyer to protect your interests.

1:19 pm

BabbleRabble

the best thing to happen would be for the mortgage to remain current so the lender is not an issue... if James wants to pay you have of any potential equity, that is his decision

1:19 pm

BabbleRabble

half

1:19 pm

kthdsn

citizens advice are going to help me with all the legal stuff, and managing my debts until i am able to leave etc

1:20 pm

LoriP

Your debts are both your debts unless a satisfactory arrangement can be made with the lender(s). You are still on the hook. I've seen very UGLY situations arise in this regard.

1:20 pm

LoriP

On a different note, may I have a word total please? (be gentle....)

1:20 pm

kthdsn

I'm sure there must be a way out of this somehow, i just have to find out what it is

1:20 pm

BabbleRabble

there still are many issues. if your name remains on the loan and james tries to sell the house or get a better rate, you still will have to sign off

1:23 pm

kthdsn

I was so hoping it would all be simple and I would be able to get out of here and start afresh with nothing to worry about but my new life, I guess it's a lot harder than I thought

1:23 pm

LoriP

It's not impossible, just more complicated.

1:23 pm

BabbleRabble

the basic premise is that any agreement does not prevent the creditor from seeking payment from you--- even if james is ordered or has agreed to be responsible. your remedy is to seek recourse from james is you pay a debt he would now be responsible for.

1:24 pm

BabbleRabble

There is no simple, kate.... you would do well to seek legal advice

1:25 pm

BabbleRabble

For instance, what if down the road james decides he wants visitation or cutody of his child?

1:25 pm

LoriP

Dunno' about overseas, but here, the law is very explicit. Irregardless pof any private mutual agreement between 2 people, the names on the lenders documents are accoutable, and can be pursued legally for late or unpaid debts.

1:26 pm

kthdsn

well I'm going to put it out of my mind until monday when i can get some proper advice, I don't need to be stressing about it when there's nothing I can do yet

1:27 pm

moreover, as a father, he has an obligation to support his child

it's a very interesting concept that the world as we see it is created within our minds and that instead of us existing in a world that was already there, we create the world with our thoughts, so if you think negative thoughts you attract negativity, and if you really believe something good will happen, then it will

I haven't heard of Steve Pavlina, I'll have to check him out. I've been taught a lot about how everything in the universe is connected. Those thoughts used to be in the world of religion or 'magic' only, but now Quantum Physics is proving it all to be true. You can just reach out and grab what you need, the only real trick is to get rid of your limiting beliefs and your negative thoughts, your "don't wants". Your brain latches onto those thoughts so easily and drags those items to you. That's why some people keep dating the 'wrong' type of person, or seem to have bad luck. They are stuck in that limiting pattern.

I have noticed a fault in Snoopy ... Snoopy is looking at the keys! You're SUPPOSED to look at the screen, but of course, he's kind-of looking at it.

3:00 pm

jwest302

ok thanks

3:00 pm

M.P.

Of course, I don't mean to be snobby ... Aloyisius reminded me with the clue not to do that. It's a rude idea ... of course, also there's other bad stuff going on ... I'm feeling kind of rude.

3:00 pm

not so much "one who is" as it is "the practice of being", isn't it?

I have a question, if anyone knows it. At the end of a puzzle, is there a way to view all of the words it consisted of? That could help build patterns for where to look for words.

3:03 pm

CousinMo

Thnx Babblerabble! got my fireworks!

3:07 pm

lynxxx

MP & JWest - I think you believe the words are devised or built up to make the grid (like a crossword). I don't think this is the case. The letters doled out each day are random - which is why the number of words ranges from 50 to 450 !!

stidmama

I want to get to halfway before I grab the list... that's ten more words. *furrows brow and rust falls out of ears*

6:00 pm

6:01 pm

Mom

Sorry LoriP, not one that I have

6:01 pm

gailinrb

le 6/24: an appendage + superlative ending.

6:01 pm

LoriP

6:03 pm

jillibus

IMHO this grid has too many new "words"

6:03 pm

stidmama

*grin* did that MONTHS ago, Scrabbler, you see now a mere reflection of my former self...

6:03 pm

gailinrb

had one cat treated with radioactive iodine.

6:03 pm

jillibus

parathyroid upsets calcium balance and send all systems into a tizzy

6:03 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, so now the rust pours out?

6:04 pm

jillibus

not at all like thyroid

6:04 pm

stidmama

yep. see why I always test as anemic? It's cause I keep losing iron through my ears when the cogs try to turn!

6:04 pm

gailinrb

so, what did they lead you to expect, jill?

6:04 pm

Scrabbler

Fascinating medical condition, Stid!

6:05 pm

jillibus

the cat gradually gets sick and sicker and sicker until the kindest day comes when s/he is put to gentle sleep. Surgery is not recommended.

6:05 pm

grammaterri1

can I get the ag6 after the plural pretty rocks?

6:06 pm

stidmama

poor kitty! *determined look* but she doesn't have the diagnosis yet, so no long face! *hands out chocolates as emphasis*

6:06 pm

Scrabbler

I am looking for that too, GT

6:06 pm

jillibus

more purrs from kitty and person

6:06 pm

gailinrb

no surgery 'cuz the parathyroid is even smaller than the thyroid. that i understand. i'm so sorry, jill. Will hope for the best.

6:06 pm

Scrabbler

It's not "agile"!

6:06 pm

grammaterri1

lol nope

6:06 pm

6:07 pm

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

jillibus

6:12 pm

gailinrb

that's what i did, musicmom. now i'm going through, alphabetically, and trying to complete each letter group.

6:13 pm

stidmama

Gail, we had a lime tree when I was little! I loved it! mother hated it because it stained everything brownish-black -- or was it blackish brown?

6:13 pm

jillibus

me too

6:13 pm

gailinrb

stained...?

6:13 pm

musicmom

I am SOOOO out of practice. I have got to do this more consistently.

6:13 pm

jillibus

na4 is that vowelly greek temple or something -- a regular babblet

6:14 pm

gailinrb

my problem has been figuring out what to do will so many limes. one can only drink so much gin/tonic! LOL

6:14 pm

jillibus

not stained -- doing hit or miss at first, then alphabetically filling in

6:14 pm

LoriP

Thank ye Jilli. I should have known that. :(

6:14 pm

gailinrb

i think i'll probably end up squeezing the juice into ice cube trays and freezing it all for later use.

6:15 pm

musicmom

Yum I wish I lived closer - I would take them. Love them in my tea, marinade chicken with them, make pie (or can you only do that with key lime?)

6:15 pm

jillibus

great idea, gail!

6:15 pm

Scrabbler

Good idea, Gail.

6:15 pm

gailinrb

i think you can make non keylime pie,if you want. but then, what the heck do i do with an entire pie? i know, i know: bring it here to share!

6:16 pm

garyandjulie

lime marmalade is good. lime and lemon marmalade is better

6:16 pm

jillibus

right! Share here -- or freeze it too?

6:17 pm

gailinrb

you mentioned in the past that you do pastoral work, and I saw in your profile once that you earned your pastoral degree

6:37 pm

Oops. Thanks

That's because the pope is a dween

6:41 pm

I guess I wondered at the additional degree, but then, being a nun and a doc doesn't necessarily mean you have the social work type skills for counseling

Boy, for some reason the words in this grid are like pulling hens teeth.

6:43 pm

pam

I am so much of anemotional barometer that I do not thinnk I could do it...

6:44 pm

mirandapan

Thanks--I've actually just started CPE with a Rabbi and a Methodist minister, both women.

6:44 pm

stidmama

{{{feather}}} It's only a quarter of ten.... *wicked grin*

6:44 pm

jillibus

6:44 pm

mirandapan

I know what you mean, Pam

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

I am thinking about what to do next--Master's in Pastoral Ministry, Chaplain training...and I have actually considered leaving the catholic Church to be an Episcopal Priest---cool info Miranda!

6:45 pm

mirandapan

We could talk if you like, Scrabbler--

6:45 pm

featherbee

LoriP

Hi peri

6:46 pm

featherbee

mmmmmm baking......
*sniffs the air hungrily*

6:46 pm

jillibus

hi again peri

6:46 pm

mirandapan

Hi peri

6:46 pm

pam

At the risk of preaching to the choir, scrabbler you are precisely the example of how the Catholic Church has not embraced the changing times

6:46 pm

stidmama

*sigh* no peri -- by the time Tom got home yesterday I was wiped! have peeled the apples for tonight though -- so no excuses!

6:46 pm

pam

You have so much to offer and if your calling is in the Catholic faith, it is a shame

6:46 pm

Eva

Hi Peri-I did. Made fudge brownies with walnuts, fudge brownies with cheese cake topping and cannoli this morning, to take down to the community store.

6:47 pm

Scrabbler

Miranda--e-mail me. Have you read any of Zeni Fox's books? She spoke at our graduation last May, and WOW, she is smart! She is a PhD in Theology at Seton Hall Univ.

6:47 pm

stidmama

*sits on hands so won't tempt feather* I like your blog posts!

6:47 pm

pam

I really don't mean to sound like I am bashing anyone's beliefs, I just don't get it

6:47 pm

featherbee

lol, glad someone does! i'm trying to think of something interesting for tonight. either it's going to be about a good photography info site, or tasha tudor's illustrations...not sure yet.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

stid, I made the Apple Crustada today and shared with some of my babble friends earlier.

6:48 pm

stidmama

*jumping up and down* tasha tudor! tasha tudor! she's my absolute role model!

6:48 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Pam, I know. One of my priest profs predicts that in 20-30 yrs women will be permitted to become deacons in the cath Church, and, perhaps, in 100 yrs a pope will embrace women as priests.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

I have all the ingredients for the Almond Cake but not going to make it for a while.

6:48 pm

featherbee

lol! i'll see what i can do for ya then! i'll save the photog for tomorrow

6:49 pm

stidmama

mmmmmmm *considering moving closer to where peri lives*

6:49 pm

Dorens

hmmm. apple crostada... almond cake... peri you are wreaking havoc with my diet!

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

Tasha Tudor! I love her!

6:49 pm

pam

I hope he is right, Scrabbler

6:49 pm

mirandapan

I will, Scrabbler, this weekend--if that's okay. I haven't read Zeni Fox, but will go to Amazon now. Pam--you make a good point--like Andrew Sullivan--gay and adamant about remaining Catholic.

6:49 pm

Dorens

hi pam, stid, scrabbler, feather and anyone else

6:49 pm

jillibus

How about a woman Pope?

6:49 pm

periwinkle

stidmama, you are welcome to come visit anytime!

6:49 pm

Eva

oooh-just got the mu7.44! Cool word!

6:50 pm

featherbee

ok, the people have spoken, tasha tudor it is! i'll see what i can come up with after daniel's bath. look for the post around 8:30ish, eastern. might be longer, depending on how in depth i go.

6:50 pm

stidmama

But it's very difficult to leave a church that has been home, and harder still I think to explain to the family why you're leaving -- how _your_ faith remains the same but isn't reflected in the actions and rules of the church.

6:50 pm

pam

I am not Catholic, but I do agree with Andrew Sullivan

6:50 pm

pam

I knowit is hard to leave, and harder for some to stay

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

Miranda--for Christmas one of my sisters gave me Fox's book"Called and Chosen" about the role of lay ministers. I haven't started it yet.
