12:46 am

is that like a wake?

12:46 am

salmocreston1

thanks Douglas. Does that mean that I just go with my imagination that changes minute by minute?

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

.. visitation at a funeral home ... for family of someone who died

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

similar

12:46 am

corpsvalue

Ah, OK. Sorry to hear that.

12:47 am

Douglas

Well, not exactly, because there is a theme for each day, and people use their imagination in following the theme of the day...

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

ty....his dad, who is 74, really had a tough time... burying one of his sons...

12:48 am

salmocreston1

Okay, how does one figure out the theme for the day?

12:48 am

Douglas

It is a Babble custom that the Friday theme of the day is a word from the grid...

12:48 am

salmocreston1

epox

12:48 am

corpsvalue

bummer. mr bro-in-law just passed in Feb. He was 59. Then I was stuck in the northeast blizzard over valentine's day for three days. Not a great week.

12:49 am

jillibus

salmo -- there is an icon theme every day -- see Lickety's page for Icon Themes. Today's (and every Friday's) is a word from the grid which will be a clue. I haven't got mine yet -- just got here. Click on the icons to see what they are and why.

12:49 am

Douglas

Good thing that wasn't a word...

12:49 am

Amiku

I'm gonna get going

12:49 am

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

totally understand, and I am certainly glad to listen; my mom died in 1990 and my dad in 1998, and I still miss them terribly; I sooo wanted to have them see our daughter grow into the lovely young woman she is now... it IS very nice to talk to someone who understands

1:09 am

Hugabugs

1:09 am

sprite

and a good heart, Dee :)

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

1:10 am

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

ty nan

1:11 am

sprite

lol, looks like I am going to learn a new word today, nan :)

1:11 am

helenkeller

tx voll :)

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

yw helen... me too sprite... having to ponder that one

1:12 am

helenkeller

hugabugs - that's so hard, how old were you when he died (i ask cause my parents had me late in life, my dad was 45 when i was born)

1:13 am

Hugabugs

I was 20, and he died exactly 4 months to the day before my wedding.

1:13 am

helenkeller

nan - is that the same word that chic has in her icon - something to do with silk? (i don't know this word either sprite)

1:14 am

Hugabugs

My brother was 14, one sister was 16 and the other sister was 19

1:14 am

cybernan

yes it is a type of silk

1:14 am

sprite

that's tough, Hugs :(

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

oh hug, how tough that had to be for you

1:15 am

cybernan

didn't know someone else had it too -- thought I was being quite original!!!

1:15 am

helenkeller

hugabugs - that's so sad, though it's good you were old enough to have formed mature memories of him - but how sad, right before your wedding

1:15 am

helenkeller

nan - hey it's original for me!

1:15 am

Hugabugs

My Mom took it extremely hard... she ended up having a nervous breakdown.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

I love the colors in your icon nana

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

nan lol

1:16 am

cybernan

could I have a clue for the re 8-9 combo?

1:16 am

chic

well

1:16 am

cybernan

guess it's just re 8

1:16 am

jillibus

I remember that kind of silk being very popular in pre-1939 Shanghai

1:16 am

Hugabugs

re + spy (and pl)

1:16 am

sprite

must have added to your grieve and probably took away a lot of the opportunity to focus on your own grief, Hugs. Really tough :(

1:17 am

helenkeller

huga - you know i think that's a big problem, people aren't given enough space & time to feel the grief - there's all these other pressures too

1:17 am

lynxxx

TY C'nan for the po - though it took a bit to remember it

1:17 am

cybernan

yw, lynxxx

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree... folks keep telling you to "move on" like there is a time table for grief and that time table is supposedly the same for everyone; that is nonsense

1:18 am

Hugabugs

it's funny that we're talking about this. Today my Mom told me I'm a replica of my Dad.

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

what triggered that?

1:19 am

lynxxx

Is there a re 8&9 ? I have the re 7& 8.

1:19 am

sprite

how was it for you to hear that?

1:19 am

MVA

aargh!! i lost babble!

1:19 am

helenkeller

exactly volley - i couldn't agree more - i think that moving (any kind of move) is difficult enough in the first place, but moving through grief is moving through uncharted waters, and each death affects one differently, so the best way is to take your time, otherwise, you're not really dealing with it

1:19 am

Hugabugs

re7x2 and re8

1:19 am

jillibus

still puzzling over that re8/9 clue -- re + spy.

1:19 am

cybernan

no it is re 7-8 -- a clue, please?

1:20 am

cybernan

no re 9 --- my mistake, sorry

1:20 am

Hugabugs

you know - spy --- like the song... Secret Ag*** man

1:20 am

jillibus

I have an re6/7...

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

re + who helps Hollywood people find jobs, movies, shows

1:20 am

cybernan

ty jilli -- got it -- better pass that fish in the grid this way

1:20 am

MVA

got to go now, happy babbling all!

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

good clue hug

1:21 am

CyborgScrabbler

re9, there is not one?

1:21 am

jillibus

that's the re6/7 I have, hugs

1:21 am

lynxxx

re + Maxwell Smart was one (re7&8)

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

aww loved that show

1:21 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - I felt proud to be like my Dad when she told me.

1:21 am

jillibus

OH, I see -- an extra vowel!

1:21 am

CyborgScrabbler

re8 ... in the back, you will find the mens toilet

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

1:21 am

sprite

1:23 am

jillibus

1:23 am

helenkeller

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

pin the information on his sleeve like you do a preschooler lol

1:35 am

lynxxx

hey Helen. I would just like you to know that I remember your parents "heart & head" vividly. I have told so many people about that and what it means. It has great meaning for me.

1:35 am

sprite

LOL mrP!
Tell him to pay in advance and charge double? Might sober him up.

1:36 am

saphyre

I don't have a room - I work here - and no he was not good looking or good smelling !

1:37 am

saphyre

lol Dee - I pretty much did that once I found out where he belonged

1:37 am

saphyre

he couldn't find his wallet

1:37 am

helenkeller

lynxxx - wow, thanks, you just gave me shivers :)

5:00 am

Haz1558

Thank you!

5:00 am

thx haz

5:00 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Andree.

5:00 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babblers. I awoke at 4:46 with a migraine and I am here to relax as I could not sleep.

5:01 am

Scrabbler

Eva, Pida and hodag--you are up early too.

5:01 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scrabbler - migraine is not nice, hope the light from the computer doesn't make it worse.

5:02 am

Andree

hi scrabbler, hope this grid doesn't make the head worse

5:02 am

Scrabbler

I just need a distraction as lying in bed, feeling the throb was not helping.

5:02 am

Scrabbler

I like your icon, Hazel, and it gave me 2 words as it is intended to.

5:03 am

P.J.

sorry Scrabbler,I hope you feel better shortly!! I am trying to get use to being anther year older today ! :)

5:03 am

Haz1558

That's good - it's done its job, then.

5:03 am

Scrabbler

Happy Birthday, hodag!!!

5:05 am

Andree

re7/36 please

5:05 am

Scrabbler

Don't fret about getting older, it is better than the alternative.

5:05 am

Haz1558

re7/36 - re plus someone like James Bond who was secretive about his activities

5:05 am

lynnet

re + ge 5/14

5:06 am

P.J.

TY Scrabbler, the numbers sure are getting big ! :)

5:06 am

Haz1558

Or re7/36 - plural for re6/24 - a person appointed as interim ruler when the king is deemed too young to rule.

5:07 am

Scrabbler

But, the number reflects experience and gathered wisdom. Would you want to be an adolescent or twenty-something again? Not me.

5:07 am

Andree

thx, have that lyn, need 2nd re7/36

5:07 am

Haz1558

Andree - it may be the plural appointee for government.

5:08 am

Andree

oops, have it sorry

5:09 am

Haz1558

I'd like my mature head on my young body. Can that be arranged?

5:09 am

P.J.

It sure is. Dick said he was going to get me a cake with candles but,he thought the fire department would have to come out to put out the fire!!

5:10 am

Andree

lol, hodag

5:10 am

Scrabbler

I am still looking for that option, Hazel, but it works backwards, doesn't it. Our bodies peak at 25-30 or so, and our minds take longer.

5:13 am

Haz1558

But look how well we're looking after our minds....

P.J.

5:16 am

Haz1558

ve5/20 - usually preceded with re to indicate some sort of reciprocal punishment

5:16 am

Scrabbler

Often the grids merge into one another, or maybe that is because I spend so much time in Babble Land.

5:16 am

Eva

Scrabbler

*birthday

5:19 am

Eva

-24, but it's going to get up to 18 today, and then be in the 40's by Sunday, with rain and sleet. They are very worried that the river in downtown Montpelier will flood this weekend. Have published evacuation routes, etc.

5:19 am

P.J.

That silly kid his mind never stops!

5:19 am

Andree

thx haz

5:20 am

Scrabbler

We have the same concerns here, Eva---warming with flooding.

5:20 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Andree.

5:20 am

billmster

Toput your head on the young shoulders photographically

5:21 am

Haz1558

Ah, I see. The only problem is that I don't have any digital photos of when I was young - nor a scanner. But it's worth bearing in mind!

5:21 am

Eva

all of the stores in town have emptied out their basements. Apparently this happened in 1992 and water in the streets was up to peoples' waists. No problem outside of town.

5:22 am

6a

eva-yikes!

5:22 am

Scrabbler

What a nightmare, Eva.

5:22 am

Eva

They've been emptying warmer water from the treatment plant into the river, hoping to free up the ice jam, but I guess no success.

5:22 am

ARB

Wow, Eva -- nightmarish

5:23 am

Eva

It doesn't mean that it will flood-it's sort of like pick up sticks I guess, and if we're lucky it will thaw without incident.

5:23 am

P.J.

WE're suppose to get up to 40f today I can hardly waite. our area is concerned about flooding also, I am glad we live on a hill.

5:23 am

hurshy

that reminds me of a thing in a book, only it was a log jam in that instance

5:23 am

Eva

So you must be a day or two ahead of our weather hodag

5:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi hurshy! Are you doing well? Better than a week ago, right?

5:26 am

Scrabbler

You are traveling through a "narrows" right now, when life is confusing and uncertain and transitional. We all pass through them, but they are tough, as we aren't quite sure where we are going.

Good question, hetty - I'll have to do some research on that.

9:47 am

Haz1558

And well done, Atalante!

9:48 am

Atalante

the eel's scientific name is co6 - its from the greek meaning lumpy

9:48 am

ConXshun

lumpy eel!!!??? lol!

9:49 am

hetty

Don't bother. Just curious, Haz. Language fascinates me so. My guess would be a place, but the dear knows where it is

9:49 am

Atalante

most marine eels have lumpy looking heads

9:49 am

Atalante

is that what you were asking, hetty?

9:49 am

Haz1558

It's the genus name for the eel. Comes from congridae.

9:50 am

ConXshun

they're a delicacy here in holland...

9:50 am

Haz1558

congridae being the family. Who want to think about a family composed of eels???

9:51 am

Atalante

they do taste nice

9:51 am

Haz1558

They sure don't look nice...

9:51 am

Atalante

actually, Haz, the co6 is the original. the family name is then derived from the genus name

9:51 am

hetty

O.K.ooked it up--its a family of eels noted for the prouberance on their heads.Atlante is quite right. Thanks, both

9:51 am

Atalante

um yeah, I'm a marine biologist :P I know too much about eels!

9:52 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Atalante - you're much better versed in these things than I am!

9:52 am

hetty

but I don't think I'll try the flavour thanks

9:52 am

Atalante

its a waaaaaay old name, don't know who described it first but the description been around for ages. people liked describing marine things as lump way back then

9:52 am

ConXshun

it's more or less like a mixture of squid and herring...

9:53 am

9:53 am

Atalante

lumpfish tastes nice too. and their eggs

9:53 am

ConXshun

lol hetty! bash someone over the head with a bludgen and that's what you get

9:54 am

ConXshun

lumpfish never got a better name then?

9:54 am

Atalante

nope. still lumpfish, poor things

9:54 am

ConXshun

Everything in nature is lumpy ....

9:55 am

Hi there

lumpy oatmeal

9:55 am

Atalante

I still bear the scars from being bitten by a co6 eel many years ago. horrid lumpy thing.

9:55 am

ConXshun

they could at least give them spelling a tweak, make it more intersting. Like: lummpheesh

9:55 am

Hi there

one lump or two?

9:56 am

ConXshun

oh dear ata! was that during your research?

9:56 am

ConXshun

lol, hi there - and hello!

9:56 am

Atalante

lurmpfish

9:57 am

ConXshun

... and you could've taken a bite out of him too...!

9:57 am

Atalante

no actually. was helping out at Bristol Zoo cleaning the fish tanks - they were huge and you had to use scuba kit to get into them properly. they had 1 nice eel, and 1 - um - problematic eel ... and that day he was VERY problematic!

9:58 am

ConXshun

I'd never have thought eels had characters... pitbull eels... hmmm

9:59 am

Atalante

eels are mean. give me a shark over an eel any day

9:59 am

Atalante

but yes, eels are very much individuals!

9:59 am

ConXshun

Really? maybe that's why they eat them over here... eat them before they get you, sort of thing!

10:00 am

Atalante

I love eating eels. It's my continued revenge!

10:00 am

EvaNadine

got CE9 and GE9 -- hints on my other 9?

10:01 am

Atalante

for a fish, eels are pretty intelligent. they certainly watch you while you're near, and come close for a better look, and often swim behind you for a while. *shudder* they are the only thing underwater that really freaks me out!

10:01 am

pabtrek

don't get the st6 clue

too right! most animals will react to such things! but eels can just be grumpy. they can be little sh*ts

10:04 am

Haz1558

No fish needed, eva - and eels are off!

10:05 am

ConXshun

How do dolphins react to eels?

10:07 am

Atalante

I have no idea! I can't imagine they interact too much, eels tend to stay in their holes or lurk along the sea bottom. happy dolphins stay in the open water

10:07 am

ConXshun

ah - oceans apart... not surprising really.

10:08 am

Atalante

I've got a wonderful video clip though of some idiot dive instructor in egypt pulling one out of its hole by its tail for the "amusement" of his students. the eel turned round and chomped the heck out of his leg. served him right!

personally Niamh -- except for the pure-bred shepherd we rescued from a barn I can't say I recommend "breed" dogs. They all seem to have problems related to their inbredness -- find out about things like dysplasia and heart problems before you buy!

chic

Stid you're really getting into this, aren't you?

10:53 am

stidmama

Niamh -- can you arrange to have a vet check the dog before you actually pay anything?

10:53 am

Babbler

Niamh, isn't that the same as rottweillers?

10:54 am

stidmama

LOL a nice distraction from the over-busy week and the sick (again) kid.

10:54 am

stidmama

no no rottweilers are WAY different from valhunds

10:54 am

Niamh

yes, the breeder I've looking at is VERY good, she's the best breeder I've ever talked to. Her dogs are not her income, they are her family

10:54 am

Babbler

I knew a rotty who had similar problems. Lovely dog. Poor thing.

10:55 am

Haz1558

I'm looking up my dog book now - it looks like a German shepherd crossed with a corgi.....

10:55 am

Niamh

Vallhund is a small dog, weight is between 20 and 30 pounds

10:55 am

chic

Watch the animal planet channel on Sat mornings; they always have dog shows and you can learn about the breeds and see them in action..

10:55 am

stidmama

Niamh, that sounds like our Jillibus! she used to breed danes. Her "babies" were living to 15 years!!! (they usually live three to five)

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

hello babblers - it's lunchtime!

10:55 am

Hey Temple!

Hi T-Owl! : )

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

ty babs for that clue! hi all!

10:57 am

Niamh

I've been invited to the breeders house to see her dogs interaction with my kids... that's what's important to me

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

chixie re you kidding> it is reall get ove rit day?

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

10:57 am

Haz1558

My caution would be the expense, but it claims to be undemanding for grooming and feeding and has a friendly temperament. Sort of describes me, really.

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

LOL Haz.

10:57 am

stidmama

speaking from personal experience, *I* have hip dysplasia. I can cope with it, but I would be really aware that fixing a dog's hip dysplasia can be very expensive.

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

hi judy hi chix hi stid hi niamh hi haz hi ursh *deep breath*

10:58 am

Niamh

but are you house trained Haz?

Have you looked at the Basenji? they look terrific and very family oriented...

10:58 am

Niamh

hello TO

10:58 am

stidmama

and what exactly are we getting over chic? LOL *and hoping it's not pirating*

10:58 am

Haz1558

Indeed I am, very dependable in that regard.

10:59 am

stidmama

*grin* see you soon Babbler... *need to get the kids' clothes in the washer soon*

10:59 am

chic

today has been declared National Get Over It Day...get over what you want to...

10:59 am

Takuma Sato

a basenji owner *strongly* recommended against getting one -- apparently they get destructive quickly if not constantly attended to

10:59 am

Niamh

I'll check out the basenji, thanks chic!

11:00 am

stidmama

okay! :-)

I choose to get over the notion that a clean house means a functional family...

11:00 am

Scarlet

Haz, you're funny and don't even realize it... "Depends" is a brand of adult diaper in the U.S.A. LOL!

11:00 am

CiociaJudy

sounds like 2 year olds, takuma! LOL

11:00 am

Takuma Sato

heh, except basenjis are silent

11:00 am

Babbler

brb. I forgot to check I had eggs when I started making an omelette earlier this week... didn't realise till I was half way! :s

11:00 am

stidmama

probably like all intelligent dogs, Takuma! our shepherd can really be a pain if he feels neglected.

11:00 am

Haz1558

Well, thank goodness I am dependable on my own!

11:01 am

Scarlet

:-)!

11:01 am

Niamh

destructive? I really like Jack Russel's but the destructive factor is keeping me from getting one... my yard is not really what you might call "big"

11:01 am

Takuma Sato

I know what you mean, stid, though I don't know that basenjis are all that smart

11:01 am

stidmama

hey Scarlet! when did you show up?

11:01 am

stidmama

confidentially, takuma, I am not sure my shepherd is that smart! ;-)

11:01 am

Takuma Sato

I have had that problem more with smart cats than with smart dogs

11:02 am

Takuma Sato

heh, stid -- I won't tell him

11:02 am

Haz1558

Jack Russell's are extremely active - intelligent (look at Eddie in Frasier) but active....

11:02 am

Scarlet

I've been lurking, in and out, getting phone calls from travel-crazed daughters and sick sister, etc., ad nauseum. Hi, all!!

11:02 am

CiociaJudy

Hi Scarlet

11:03 am

Hi CiociaJudy!

walnutchen

morning all... total for today>

11:03 am

Niamh

I've had all sorts of breeds in the past, my personal favorite was an Australian Shepherd, but again, my yard just won't cut it

11:03 am

stidmama

right now the shepherd is whining and pacing, pacing and whining: it's not raining! ball! ball! outside! ball!

11:04 am

Haz1558

Whereas my springer spaniel has had a walk and is lying snoring peacefully....

11:04 am

stidmama

with winter and all, I no longer have a back yard, I have a three-foot deep mud pool...

11:04 am

caitlyn

Hi all.....174 today walnut

11:05 am

hi walnut!

11:05 am

walnutchen

thanks, Caitlyn, Haz.... How are you guys?

11:05 am

Scarlet

We loved our Boston Terriers and English Bulldogs... now, it's my faithful old cat.

11:05 am

Niamh

hello walnut

11:05 am

Takuma Sato

my neighbor just got a 1-yr old catahula. I suspected she had no idea what she was getting herself into, and this has been recently confirmed.

11:05 am

chic

Basenji's don't bark, they yodel! and they are fastidious like cats, supossedly very intelligent. Any dog that is not properly trained can be a house problem..

11:05 am

walnutchen

hi nimah! how goes?

evanonut

tacos was good

11:05 am

Im great thanks..how is everyone else?

11:06 am

Niamh

it steadily moves right along... how are you walnut?

11:06 am

Haz1558

My dog book doesn't even list a catahula....

11:06 am

Scarlet

Hi Cait and Niamh.

11:06 am

have you ever had tacos from Jack in the Box? They're horrible for your health, but sure taste good!

11:06 am

Takuma Sato

lol, niamh - I love it

11:09 am

caitlyn

LOL Niamh

11:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's a leopard dog. Not terribly attractive to my eyes.

11:10 am

Takuma Sato

I think they're gorgeous, but they're pretty much bred to be incorrigible

11:10 am

Scarlet

The ugliest canine I ever saw was a Chinese Crested... so doggons :-) homely!

11:11 am

Haz1558

The Chinese crested is not a looker, I have to agree.

11:11 am

Scarlet

"Not a looker".... oh, Haz, diplomacy is one of your many strengths...

11:11 am

Niamh

they're not so bad when they are not shaved to look stupid

11:12 am

caitlyn

Sounds abit like my hubby Niamh!!

11:12 am

Niamh

11:12 am

Scarlet

I didn't realize that Niamh, I thought they were naturally bald on most of their bodies. A friend had to use an SPF70 on its back to prevent sunburn.

11:13 am

Haz1558

Diplomacy is my middle name! _ there are two versions of Chinese crested - one, the hairier version used to be despised, the one without hair, is naturally hairless.

11:13 am

Hi TO

Hi TO! Welcome to the amateur Westminster Dog Show!

11:15 am

Niamh

he's a hotty!! He was my wallpaper for a long time chic!

phandmd

12:03 pm

Niamh

so with nothing to do the baby decides that getting a small adrenaline rush from cussing at stranges is a good idea? Wow! sounds like a great time... and she put down what we were doing...

12:03 pm

evanonut

but where has baby gone?

12:04 pm

evanonut

12:04 pm

12:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

idn't beg for attantion though

12:05 pm

Niamh

12:08 pm

hurshy

lol

12:08 pm

ewwww, bet that's difficult to do under the king.

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

Niamh

lol nut!

12:08 pm

Babbler

kidding me??

12:08 pm

superflippy

Like, each time? Or was there a license you could get?

12:09 pm

salmocreston1

thanks Niamh. Only the British would need to ask permission of the king. LOL

12:09 pm

mom23

esp. if he's heavy like Henry VIII

12:09 pm

hurshy

this is sooooo funny

12:09 pm

Babbler

and if he was granting these requests all day, every day, how did he get time to attend to other matters? (assuming everyone asked permission)

12:09 pm

Atalante

I know back in ancient Egypt there was something similar, it was so the king could take the pick of the virgins before anyone else got to them!

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

Babbler

LOL

12:10 pm

Niamh

it had to do with pleasing His royal suckups (I can't think of the proper name right now)... they were really the ones who granted permission and they had the right to "take" any woman they wanted

12:11 pm

evanonut

hangon, rome on hbo uses that 'f' word all the time

12:11 pm

evanonut

sounds like a good position to be in if your that guy...sucked to be a woman though.

it's probably more about conquests than experience, hursh
