Faerie
Lori how the heck are you?

Great. I was ignoring chat, so you may have already said, but how's life treating you? Good, I hope.
7:27 am
featherbee
hehe thanks faerie
7:27 am
evanonut
not sure if she's more fun than a tax rebate though, guess it depends on the size of the tax rebate. (no offence faerie, do love to shop!)

LoriP
Nut likes to shop? Where will the revelations end.....
7:30 am
Merk
Shoot, my internet disconnected and I missed Haz's answer to my question about her physiotherapy.

but that's the reason they are in the most trouble
10:25 am
momof3boys
gramma..the agents had no way of knowing he was unarmed...they need to defend themselves and act as if he was armed...
10:25 am
grammaterri1
I disagree with them being sentenced to life, but retraining for sure
10:26 am
Sam
cops don't get life for murdering unarmed Americans
10:26 am
grammaterri1
understand that, like I said I am not on the illegals side, I am on the agents side
10:26 am
momof3boys
they aren't sentenced for life..they are doing 12 to 13 years....and fyi..the border patrol policy, is 5 days without pay....

11:02 am
momof3boys
later pam
11:05 am
momof3boys
when you use lickety..how do you know which letter they are referring...i.e....they say se.. two words ... how do i know which se they are referring..the top set, or the bottom
11:05 am
Atalante
you dont :)
11:06 am
sherb
you don't mom...
11:06 am
momof3boys
aaahhh...the fine print...
11:06 am
momof3boys
ty...knew there was a catch!
11:08 am
Atalante
always ;)
11:08 am
hurshy
well, if you are talking between people who are using lickety's thing WITH BOXES, then, it automatically puts them in the right place for you, as i understand it. so, people who are both doing that, could know more and operate on that basis.
11:09 am
Atalante
does it find the words for you too??
11:09 am
hurshy
i have no opinion.
11:09 am
momof3boys
hursh...you need to be pro to see the tiles under the grid, right?? i think that is what you mean.. using them in addition to the list
11:09 am
sherb
and type them in?
11:09 am
hurshy
well the tiles on the grid are hardly necessary if you are using the boxes...
11:10 am
hurshy
i mean lickety's has two versions, the one where you put them in boxes, and the printable one.
11:10 am
momof3boys
so, if you have a word in the my word list, and forget to type it in lickety's list, you don't get "credit" for it, right...it still shows as if you are missing it....is that right?
11:10 am
hurshy
um, all that matters for credit for rankings is getting them in here. lickety's is irrelevant.
11:11 am
momof3boys
hhmmm...i have to check and see what you mean hursh..this is the first time i am using lick..and quite frankly, it intimidates me! lol
11:11 am
Atalante
dont use it then :P
11:11 am
hurshy
they are separate, if that's what you mean. entering it in one place does not enter it in the other.
11:11 am
hurshy
i have no opinion.
11:11 am
momof3boys
want to give it a fair try alt..everyone is always saying to use it...
11:12 am
sherb
I can't see the point of entering words in lickety... you just have to enter them again in Babble...
11:12 am
hurshy
and by "everyone" you mean the people who can state their opinion without fear of offending anyone.
11:12 am
hurshy
not that i have an opinion anyway.
11:12 am
Atalante
lol :) loads of people simply adore it
11:12 am
momof3boys
i am finding it useful to show what i need and what i have left..but i don't know if i am using it to it's full advantage
11:12 am
Atalante
i kinda agree with you sherb!
11:13 am
grammaterri1
I don't like rework ( :
11:13 am
grammaterri1
use licketys just to get a hint of what I need
11:13 am
hurshy
i have no opinion.
11:13 am
momof3boys
i agree with that too sherb...that is why i am trying to make sure i am using it right..can't see what the big draw is..
11:13 am
momof3boys
hursh...KNOCK IT OFF!!! lol you know you have an opinion and aren't afraid to state it, and that is why we love you!
11:13 am
Atalante
some people use it so they can play without having a bad score affecting their rankings
11:13 am
grammaterri1
which I have to do now cuz I am stuck with 20 left
11:14 am
sherb
lots of people just use it to see the list and work out which words they're missing... I find it really useful when I'm down to my last few words...
11:14 am
momof3boys
i don't care about the ranking.
11:14 am
momof3boys
need some cough syrup? :)
11:14 am
Atalante
hurshy has no opinion. really.
11:14 am
grammaterri1

11:35 am
featherbee
i think hursh is right, btw
11:35 am
featherbee
and i missed the stupid fish eggs one!
11:35 am
hurshy
anyone know anything about carpenters? if they are hiring someone for carpentry help, and they say you have to have your own tools, what tools have you got to have? do you think you have to have a power sander?
11:35 am
sherb
it all revolves around momof3boy's punctuation...
11:36 am
featherbee
no clue
11:36 am
hurshy
or lack thereof
11:36 am
prismmgc2
Talk about a non-sequitor Hurshy
11:36 am
hurshy
i have a drill, hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, you know, all the usual stuff
11:36 am
sherb
you need to have the tools for the job...
11:36 am
hurshy
oh i am past mistress of non sequitur conversation
11:36 am
Haz1558
I don't think I would trust a carpenter who didn't have his own tools....
11:37 am
sherb
it means that you have to supply whatever is needed...
11:37 am
hurshy
yes but i want to be prepared
11:37 am
prismmgc2
Now let's say they're actually advertising for The Carpenters. I'd guess you'd have to be able to sing & play guitar if you're filling in for Karen
11:37 am
prismmgc2
I mean play drums
11:37 am
hurshy
i might apply to do some work you see, and i want to know if i need a power sander
11:38 am
hurshy
i suppose they want someone with actual experience anyway, more than just misc projects around the house.
11:38 am
hurshy
karen carpenter is my dad's favorite singer of all time
11:38 am
sherb
there must be a market for female carpenters...
11:38 am
Haz1558
The main thing you need is the ability to look doubtful, able to do sharp intakes of breath, and able to say 'This is going to cost you'.
11:38 am
featherbee
i'm missing a V word. i have 3 that have to do with saying yay or nay
11:39 am
prismmgc2
Oh and scratch your head alot. Shake it & roll your eyes. More eye rolling means more money
11:39 am
sherb
lots of women don't like dealing with male builders...
11:39 am
hurshy
i wish i could DECIDE already! what i want to do, i mean. should i go the manual labor route, office work, something else, WHAT SHOULD I DO?? i just wish i could do a little of everything, it would be so much more fun that way.
11:39 am
prismmgc2
Feather.. think what the pres does to a bill he doesnt like
11:39 am
featherbee
yeah, that's the "nay" one
11:40 am
prismmgc2
oh yeah
11:40 am
hurshy
in the oz books there was the valley of v** (pl it)
11:40 am
prismmgc2
take the 5/16 v & remove the middle letter
11:40 am
Haz1558
feather vo4/5 - remove a consonantfrom the vo5/16
11:40 am
hurshy
well it rhymes with fish eggs, anyway, if you don't know oz.
11:40 am
Atalante
write down your main options, and make a pro and con column for them. write down everything you can think of, and see what comes out the best
11:40 am
sherb
depends what your main motivation is... money? ...flexibility? ...enjoyment?
11:40 am
featherbee
and the word i got before that was the fish egg one! perhaps i should try that pattern on all the ones i'm missing
11:41 am
Haz1558
And Atalante - I see Ireland triumphed after all!
11:41 am
Atalante
yes! it was a wonderful game!
11:41 am
hurshy
money: want to make enough, but don't care about getting rich. flexibility is good. enjoyment is high priority. at the moment, having SOMETHING TO DO is key.
11:41 am
hurshy
i will try ata's pro/con idea.
11:42 am
Haz1558
They'll probably go out in the next round, but it must have been fun.
11:42 am
Atalante
it sometimes does throw out some interesting things when you're really stuck!
11:43 am

I like your icon Feather....

11:45 am
billmster
some thing to keep your tools sharp is essential
11:45 am
bogster
hurshy- you might want to try a carpenter's helper or apprentice first
11:45 am
hurshy
right. it would just help so much if i knew what i wanted to do, so that i could do the first steps of it.
11:46 am
sherb
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP...
11:46 am
Atalante
can you get some voluntary work for the time being? to at least give you something *to do*
11:46 am

11:47 am
hurshy
well i'm applying to things, you know. i have thought about asking the maintenance guys here at school if i can help them on a volunteer basis to learn things.
11:48 am
Atalante
I would!
11:48 am
featherbee
E help please? i have the one that sounds like a plural letter, and the one that is E + bug
11:48 am

Looks like a pussy cat of a grid!! Is it??
11:48 am
hurshy

11:48 am
featherbee
yes, i'm going listless, and only started asking for help with 9 left

11:48 am

Afternoon, word wranglers. Hey, Hurshy, volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity if they have them around you. Good way to pick up carpentry details for free while doing good for others.
11:49 am

ty sherb
11:49 am
featherbee
and hursh
11:49 am

we hain't got that nearby. maintenance at school would work much better.

Could you do a proofreading course?
11:50 am

I guess the theme today is Disney
11:50 am
Atalante
as long as there is no health and safety issues, i'm sure they would welcome a helping hand
11:50 am
Haz1558
Think of all the lovely errors you could find and correct.
11:50 am
Atalante
or indexing. you'd love indexing
11:50 am
featherbee
missing a T. i have 3 te words, 3 ti, 3 to, and 2 tr.
11:51 am
hurshy
oh i'm already great at proofreading.
11:51 am
hurshy
what's indexing? you mean like filing?
11:51 am
ExWren
Hello everyone. Looked in earlier this morning, and found a few words, looks fairly easy. Just come back for another go, still have 52 to find
11:51 am

11:51 am
featherbee
lol sherb, ah well
11:51 am
hurshy
hmm, no, that sounds dull
11:51 am
Atalante
its a very fiddly, very interesting career
11:52 am
Haz1558
There are professional proofreaders -they need to use a certain 'language' and symbols to indicate mistakes, but there's bound to be a way of doing something like that.
11:52 am
hurshy
see this is the trouble. proofreading is fun, occasionally. lots of things are fun, occasionally. but ALL THE TIME??? i don't know what is fun enough to do full time.
11:52 am
featherbee
got the last one sherb, means group of 3
11:53 am
Haz1558
Nothing is fun all the time, hurshy. That's life.

unfortunately one's job isn't always *fun*

thanks feather :)
11:53 am

down to 4 left, 2 Ps and 2 Cs. i'm guessing they're single/plural pairs.

i wish i could do a little of a lot of things. i hate specialization.
11:53 am

fun all the time? ...
11:54 am

try teaching - that's a little of a lot of things and it IS fun all the time!!!
11:54 am

i'm good at a lot of things, and i want to utilize all those things
11:54 am
Haz1558
But you can't so you're going to have to decide on something.
11:54 am
hurshy
lol molly
11:54 am
featherbee
what about working for a temp agency?
11:54 am
Judi
Reality, Hursh. Reality. It bites. Luckily, most jobs only last 8 hours a day. That gives you 18 hours remaining to do a variety of fun things.
11:54 am
hurshy
oh haz, you are so very practical.
11:54 am
Haz1558
I know - I'm sickening.
11:54 am
sherb
you need a general management job... they usually involve variety...
11:55 am
hurshy
i've registered with one, feather. and i've applied for a variety of things, so i'm just going to see what happens.
11:55 am
hurshy
i dunno, telling people what to do could be v. hard.
11:55 am
sherb
Judi - do you know something we don't?
11:56 am
Atalante
most things you get paid for are hard!
11:56 am
Judi
No! Telling people what to do is great! It beats having them tell you what to do. Tis better to crack the whip than receive the sting.
11:56 am
sherb
I love telling people what to do!
11:56 am
hurshy
i also need to wait a couple of weeks to find out a key fact that may influence which direction (geographically) i am interested in going.

Hurshey...if you will allow me my two cents worth..I love being a mother....I love being a grandmother...but there have been times when I have found it difficult in those roles. But as with everything, it is a one day at a time.....
11:57 am
Judi
And I meant 16 hours remaining after the working eight.
11:57 am
hurshy
i don't like telling people what to do at all... i'm very non-hierarchical. i don't like taking orders OR giving them.
11:57 am
featherbee
ok, i have 4 ci, 3 cl and 4 cu. any clue what i may be missing?
11:57 am
hurshy
well SMD, i am afraid i don't like small children, and even if i was interested in having kids, i'm working on leaving my husband, you know, so i def don't want to have them with him...
11:57 am
sherb
ok, so a corporate-type job probably isn't for you...
11:58 am
LuwandaHL
plural the cu5
11:58 am
hurshy
no, i hate corporate. they take themselves too seriously.
11:58 am
featherbee
ok, thanks

There's a cu5/14 at the start of the series.
11:58 am

yep, that's me... very serious...
11:59 am
featherbee
got one
11:59 am
hurshy
the site brabble sent me to, that tries to help you figure out career issues, says that a majority of available jobs in the marketplace at any given time are not advertised. so how the heck do i find them???
11:59 am
sherb
word of mouth...
11:59 am
SMDNJV
no Hurshey...that was not my point...everything in life is not fun all the time......I just used motherhood as an example. I would never encourage anyone to have children or not to have children....that is personal...

well i don't mean everyone sherb :) but like, when i was in boston, i walked by this cafe and there were all these people in suits on laptops and cellphones, being all busy, and it was icky
11:59 am
sherb
ask friends, family, Babblers, anybody...
12:00 pm
hurshy
this is my other problem, i don't know anybody. that is part of why i want a job, so i will know some people.
12:00 pm

Monster.com, various other online job posting sites. Community bulletin boards.

that was it luwanda, ty

Haz1558
You're being too judgemental on the one hand, and too woolly on the other.
12:01 pm
featherbee
the other two start with the same first 3 letters
12:01 pm
hurshy
oh, of course SMD, i see. yes, i don't mean i expect something to be fun all the time. it's more, how does anybody cope with doing just one thing so much of the time?
12:01 pm
hurshy
thanks jbp, will check it out.
12:01 pm
hurshy
explain please, haz.
12:01 pm
featherbee
you pick something that has built in variety
12:02 pm
featherbee
like for me, teaching...each year is a different class, different kids
12:02 pm
hurshy
oops, dropped keyboard.
12:02 pm
ch1212
hi hurshy -- one great job resource is to look through the yellow pages and make a list of the places that seem like a good fit for your skills, and are also places you would feel comfy in (for example, non-profit vs. profit, private school vs. public). Then call up and ask for an informational interview - explain you are only exploring career opps in their field, not specific ones at their place. That opens doors like you wouldn't believe!
12:02 pm
hurshy
ok, what has built in variety.
12:02 pm
hurshy
they did recommend that on that website too, ch... maybe i will try that.
12:02 pm
sherb
hurshy - it's the people you work with that make a job fun, not what you do...
12:03 pm
Haz1558
Right, the judgemental bit is looking at people in Boston and deciding 'that's not for me' - just on the basis of what you perceive their lives to be like. The woolly bit is that you don't know what you want, only what you think you don't want. Time to make decisions.
12:03 pm
jbp
you might also want to find a life coach... i know it sounds hokey and new-agey, but a friend of mine used one, and it was a very good wxperience
12:03 pm
featherbee
and perhaps some things have more variety within them than is apparent at first. not coming up with any good examples right now though
12:03 pm
hurshy
oh haz, i wish i were like you!
12:03 pm
featherbee
off to search for my last to Ps
12:04 pm
Haz1558
So many people say that.......!!!!
12:04 pm
hurshy
i'm such a doofus.
12:04 pm
Judi
Along with a life coach, you might want to look up a career counselor. You might find someone at a local college or university. The temp agency might be able to point you to someone in that field.
12:04 pm
sherb
oh haz, i wish i were like you!
12:04 pm
featherbee
done!!!!!
12:04 pm
jbp
i was out of work for 22 months (not that I was counting) between careers and I have found ways in my current Dilbert incarnation to learn new stuff and i dig that
12:04 pm

i don't deal well with being bored
12:05 pm
Vicuna
Hello, folks.
12:05 pm
jbp
yea, Feather!!
12:05 pm
Haz1558
I tend to take decisions quickly, act on them and am happy with them. My sister-in-law agonises between the practicalities of what she needs to do and the feelings she has. Result is paralysis.
12:05 pm
Atalante
hi Vi! yay Feather!
12:05 pm
ch1212
An approach that helped me when I first arrived was to say, I'll explore different doors with an attitude of 1) NOT accepting the first offer and 2) NOT thinking that whatever job I land is the one I have to keep -- in other words, I won't commit to a job for years, but give myself permission to look for something else if I decide the first isn't what I wanted.
12:05 pm
LuwandaHL
ge5/14?
12:05 pm
Vicuna
Hursh, did I understand you to say you decided not to move to Boston because you saw some boring folks in business suits?
12:05 pm
jbp
i hate being paralyzed also
12:06 pm
featherbee
hurshy, have you tried any of those online career tests?
http://www.questcareer.com/car
eer_assessment_resources.html
12:06 pm
jbp
also, not being able to find words in the grid, I hate.

Haz1558
ge5/14 - ge plus the start of the Christmas saint
12:06 pm
hurshy
well no vi, i mean, um, it was that i was just overwhelmed with doing everything at once - marital separation, moving, trying to start working full time...
12:06 pm
hurshy
yes, i've been taking career tests galore.
12:06 pm
LuwandaHL
ty that's ge5/16
12:07 pm
ch1212
haz, I have that one but it shows as ge5/16 on my score. ?
12:07 pm
jbp
but I digress, hursh. No decision you make, barring complete lunacy like doing hard drugs or voting Republican, is a bad one
12:07 pm
Haz1558
So it is, change the last consonant for a vowel. (sorry!)
12:08 pm
ch1212
great point, jbp -- I got trapped once into thinking that every decision I made HAD to be 'right', instead of giving myself permission to just 'explore' different paths, and change paths when I decided.
12:08 pm
hurshy
i know that i love solving problems, of all sorts - mechanical, mathematical, etc. i like to be creative. i don't want to work more than forty hours a week at a job, period, so i can't do what all my friends did and be a doctor or lawyer or consultant. and i don't love anything enough to bother getting a PhD in it.
12:08 pm
hurshy
voting republican: what if it's mccain?
12:08 pm
ch1212
thanks, haz - I needed that one and didn't know it!
12:08 pm
Vicuna
But, honey, you are getting yourself into a circular argument. You can't move until you have friends, and you can't get friends until you have a job, and you can't find a job because you haven't moved?
12:08 pm
Atalante
getting a PhD is a bit harder than that :P
12:09 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome ch1212.
12:09 pm
jbp
I was loving the college teaching, but not all the bs that went with it... the 40/week gig is great in comparison
12:09 pm
featherbee
sounds like some sort of trade job might be good then...like you were saying at the beginning, carpentry
12:09 pm
hurshy
no no vi. i WILL get a job, by hook or by crook, despite that i don't know people.
12:09 pm
sherb
I would love to work a 40 hour week...
12:09 pm
hurshy
it would just help if i knew what kind of job i wanted to get.
12:09 pm
Vicuna
That's the spirit!
I totally understand the interest in a little bit of everything. I am the same way.
12:09 pm
hurshy
i'm sorry, i'm being horribly difficult.
12:10 pm
ch1212
hurshy it sounds like you would make a great substitute teacher while you're looking for something with more stability. Subs are always needed, especially mathmatical ones. ANd no , you're not being difficult -- you're just going through a difficult time. ((( hugs )))
12:10 pm
featherbee
imagine if you went into a contracting business....lots of math and problem solving, lots of creativity
12:10 pm
jbp
i live in a pretty depressed area of the northeast, and GE is the game in town here, unless you work for the State. I've round granite.com really useful in finding gigs. Their recruiters are generally really good.
12:10 pm
sherb
no, you're not... you're just chatting with friends...
12:10 pm
hurshy
i might like to be an all-round handy-girl, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, locksmithing...
12:10 pm
Vicuna
You're only be ing horribly difficult to yourself, you know, poor cherub!
12:10 pm
featherbee
yes, that's what i'm thinking hursh
12:10 pm
Haz1558
You don't have to stay in any one job for life, unless you really love it. Why not just get a job, get some experience and work on that.
12:11 pm
hurshy
i'm still doing my math tutoring, ch.
12:11 pm
featherbee
look up local contactors, see if you can get a foot in the door there. after you have experience, see about starting your own business, or just stay with them
12:11 pm
hurshy
the one thing i probably won't want to do is have my own business, i'm not entrepreneurial at all... unless it just happens, or i find a partner with a business spirit.
12:11 pm
jbp
you're not being difficult,Hursh,. You're processing a lot of different information, using the synergy of our Babble group to generate a series of options to... not so much with the corporate speak am I
12:11 pm
sherb
that sounds like a plan hurshy... now, you could work for someone else, or set up on your own...
12:12 pm
KristineNas
can i have help with the 2nd and 4th i please
12:12 pm
KristineNas
i have hotels and bugs
12:12 pm
Haz1558
in6/21 and in7/32 - encourage, especially in a negative sense.
12:12 pm
hurshy
one job i applied for involves going around to people and evaluating them for family court, making recs to the court about visitation rights, custody, etc. do you think i'd be good at that?
12:12 pm
sherb
in6/7 - provoke(s)
12:13 pm
KristineNas
ty i caught it as u answered
12:13 pm
Haz1558
It depends - could you be dispassionate about difficult situations?
12:13 pm
jbp
i think you'd be fine at that Hursh... and until you try it , you won't know if you like it.
12:13 pm
sherb
do you think you would enjoy it?
12:13 pm
Atalante
do *you* think you'd be good at that?
12:14 pm
hurshy
i THINK i could be dispassionate about people. if it were animals, no. lol.
12:14 pm
Vicuna
I think you could be very good at that... But I know I would find it much too depressing. Would it bother you that way?
12:14 pm
Vicuna
Maybe you could look for work at an animal shelter?
12:14 pm
hurshy
i couldn't bear to say who should get the dog or the cat - but the kids - eh.
12:15 pm
hurshy
see now THAT would be depressing, vi. i'd want to take them all home, and i couldn't...
12:15 pm
Vicuna
lol. But you know, "eh" may not be the right attitude either!
12:15 pm
ch1212
hurshy that specific job is one I'm familar with. Creative, and rule-oriented is important, but a good grasp of family dynamics and knowledge of local resources is key, along with the ability to coordinate with other members of the eval team. Usually probation, schools, FST, DSS, and other service providers are included.
12:15 pm
hurshy
well, i mean it isn't like i wouldn't CARE at all. it just wouldn't be as heart-wrenching as it would for many people.
12:16 pm
hurshy
well the job i applied for has the word "trainee" in it so i'm assuming they... train you.
12:16 pm
ch1212
Unless it's just divorce court, in which case it's sometimes just the one position.
12:16 pm
hurshy
i don't know what it is exactly, if they contact me i suppose i will find out more.
12:16 pm
Haz1558
That would be a good assumption - if you get the job, go for it, try it. There'll probably be a trial period on both sides.
12:17 pm
hurshy
yes, that is what i'm figuring, haz. that is why i am applying for a variety of things. what will be, will be.
12:18 pm
sherb
points total please?
12:18 pm
Vicuna
Also, remember what someone said earlier: often your enjoyment of and fit in a job have more to do with the people you work with than the actual position or the field you're in. So you're approach to apply for all sorts of things is smart.
12:18 pm
Haz1558
That could be a good theme for a song. I wonder if anybody has written one?
12:18 pm
ch1212
Hurshy, you could put in the job title into O'Net Online -- it's chock full of info about any type of job. www.online.onetcenter.org
12:18 pm
hurshy
oh good, i've actually done something smart!
12:18 pm
Vicuna
*your approch*
12:18 pm
Vicuna
Aargh! YOUR APPROACH!
12:19 pm
sherb
no need to shout, Vi...
12:19 pm
Haz1558
Well, at least you didn't type you're approach.....
12:19 pm
hurshy
LOL. i'm working on my pro-con list and every job has in the con column "could get boring".
12:19 pm
Vicuna
Haz, it'll sound better in Italian. Trust me on this!
12:19 pm
Haz1558
You think so, Vicuna?
12:20 pm
Atalante
all jobs can get boring
12:20 pm
hurshy
i also applied for a secretarial job at west point. i visited there once and it's fascinating. DEF would not want to be in the military myself, but being a civilian employee could be cool. though i would have to think about whether that works, with my opposition to the war...
12:20 pm
Vicuna
I dunno, sherb. I figured by the third attempt I was entitled to shout. But I didn't realize I was so close to your ear. Sorry!
12:20 pm
hurshy
and it's real pretty, with the river.
12:20 pm
ch1212
that's okay if it has 'boring' in the list because again, you don't have to decide on a lifelong job right now. In fact, right now may be a terrible time to make a decision like that. Maybe it's okay to make a decision of, "this job looks interesting enough that I'll commit for one year, then reevaluate."
12:20 pm
Vicuna
All jobs are boring sometimes.
12:21 pm
hurshy
yes, one year is do-able.
12:21 pm
jbp
and i can be neat to see what you learn from the boredome.
12:21 pm
hurshy
assuming ANYBODY will hire me for anything!! and if they won't, i'll volunteer with the maintenance guys until i have experience enough to get hired doing that stuff.
12:21 pm
jbp
think of it as being a foreign exchange student for a year. try it pit amd see
12:21 pm
Vicuna
When my kids complain they're bored, I tell them that's a problem they have to solve.
12:22 pm
featherbee
i wonder if some of the difficulty is not only trying to find something that will be a good fit, but trying to deal with all those other HUGE life changing events that are going on with you right now. if i were you, i'd be tired of making any more big decisions!
12:22 pm
Haz1558
A teacher friend was commenting on how many of his students are wanting to do forensic work. All on the basis of CSI making it look so glamorous, whereas the reality is probably completely different and yes, boring.
12:22 pm
Vicuna
Of course, they're four, so they just give me a look and keep on whining...
12:22 pm
sherb
hurshy - you're obsessing too much about what you'll be doing... try to think about the people you'll be with... they can make any job fun...
12:22 pm
ch1212
And dear hurshy, a huge gift would be accepting a job that won't overwhelm you while you spend the first year recovering your equilibrium from this huge change. So maybe a job that you could do blindfolded gives you a 'rest' in order to be gentle with yourself for awhile... just a thought.
12:22 pm
hurshy
yes feather, what's hard is that... i'm hoping to get to a point where i can support myself in not too long, so that i can move out.
12:22 pm
Haz1558
And if you do decide to go into CSI - they're all awfully good looking, but I don't know whether you've to supply your own torch or not.
12:23 pm
jbp
great point CH
12:23 pm
hurshy
all good points. :)
12:23 pm
Vicuna
I always wanted to be a detective. Except that then I'd have to associate with scary people.
12:23 pm
sherb
lol Haz :)
12:24 pm
hurshy
actually, this is a lot more fun this way, staying here for now i'm able to look around at more types of jobs and take my time about this a little more. if i'd gone ahead and gone to boston, i'd stick to just looking at office jobs just cause i know i could do it and i'd be even MORE eager to start earning some cash.

It was icy, and sleety yesterday and I went to dig out my car. It was blocked by a ton of ice (well maybe not a ton, but a lot) a young man asked if I needed help and I said yes. He dug me out first and then his own car. Turns out he is my upstairs neighbor. What a nice person

ch1212
It's fun to be open to new things, though. I walked into a radio station once to ask if they had an opening for a janitor or secretary. I wound up being hired to read news, then 10 years later I was hosting the morning show live. Then I applied for a job as a job search consultant (with no experience, again) and was hired for that! Loved it for 4 years. Then became a Project Director for a young offender program. (Again, no experience). And I have no formal education beyond the usual. So I'm just saying this as example of being open to risking and failing. I've had a blast and been lucky enough to be fairly successful. I suspect you would be too, Hurshy.

ch1212 was the job search consultant position at the radio station
12:43 pm

I have used some of the burt's bees things and they work well enough. I am allergic to most things that have lots of chemicals though so I don't have a comparison to the commoner products.

i mean there are lots of other things i'd rather do than either. but given those two choices...
1:27 pm
stidmama
I have two left now Scrabbler: RI 5/6 combo poison; ri 4/7 to be full of something; ri 4/10 a musical passage, then the 6 is a water disturbance in a stream, the seven is plural, then plural the musical passage; then an unruly crowd; then a holy ceremony and it's plural... (guess I only miss one actually)
1:27 pm
Scrabbler
Hursh, have you ever looked at "What Color is Your Parachute?"
1:27 pm

1:49 pm
stidmama
now a word of advice: stidkid#1 (who doesn't feel pain as intensely as most people) once had a small cut on a heel that got badly infected. Because normally covered by sock and shoe we didn't notice until he spiked a fever and had a red streak up his leg. Not to worry you, just check that sucker every so often for a while!
1:50 pm
Cathyar
oooh...emergency tetanus shot?
1:50 pm
momof3boys
sounds like mine stid...my ex popped a q-tip through his eardrum, and we only knew because we saw blood on the towel
1:50 pm
Scrabbler
cathy, not for piece of glass

1:51 pm
Cathyar

1:51 pm
Scrabbler
Stid---I see that in the office, usually a boy that doesn't note an injury---gets a cellulitis
1:51 pm
jillibus

1:51 pm

1:52 pm
Cathyar
he's fine i'm sure...he's just now heading out to take buster for a walk!
1:52 pm
momof3boys
steph..what ones are you missing?
1:52 pm
EspritdJean
cellulitis is a dangerous infection that can turn into osteomyelitis
1:52 pm
Scrabbler
cellulitis = tissue infection (redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness), and red-streak = lymphangitis
1:52 pm
stidmama
cellulitis is when the tissue is no longer confined to an identifiable location, it's sort of within all the muscles and stuff. The whole area gets hard and swollen but doesn't come to a head to drain
1:53 pm
stidmama
Another L and three P

oh, it's a tor, on a sunday
3:30 pm
hurshy
i just emailed you.
3:30 pm
Haz1558
But he's not talking....
3:31 pm
hurshy
*blows on tor's ear*
3:31 pm
hurshy
*plays footsie under the babble table*
3:32 pm
Haz1558
I'm pretending not to care.
3:32 pm
hurshy
oh, did you want to fight over him some more?
3:32 pm
hurshy
i'm just trying to get him to talk...
3:32 pm
hurshy
then again, i spose that is not a good way to get a guy to TALK.
3:32 pm
Haz1558
No, I know when to give in.
3:33 pm
Haz1558
There's no competing with NANCY.
3:33 pm
hurshy
so, are we the only ones here? and we're finished?
3:34 pm
Haz1558
I don't think we're the only ones here.
3:34 pm
hurshy
we appear to be.
3:34 pm
hurshy
hellooooo out there in babbleland (echo reverberates)
3:34 pm
Atalante
oooooooo Haz!
3:34 pm
hurshy
there's ata!
3:35 pm
Haz1558
Hello Atalante!
3:35 pm
hurshy
is it redundant to say that an echo reverberates?
3:35 pm
Haz1558
Not redundant exactly. You just couldn't say 'the echo' and leave it at that.
3:36 pm
hurshy
yeah, it was quite a pickle, deciding how to word that
3:36 pm
Atalante
haz! strange thing - Pakistan's cricket coach died this morning ...
3:36 pm
inge
I am sort of here, doing other stuff, but monitoring the chat
3:36 pm
Haz1558
Phone....
3:37 pm
hurshy
ata, i bought myself that pressie i'd been wanting. bought it yesterday.
3:37 pm
Haz1558
Atalante - that's awful!
3:38 pm
Atalante
the Ireland players must feel awful! they dont know how he died yet, probably heart attack
3:38 pm
hurshy
so losing to ireland was such a shock it killed him?
3:39 pm
Atalante
it seems something along those lines. ish. maybe.
3:39 pm
Haz1558
Goodness, what an awful thing to happen - it'll spoil the victory celebrations for sure.
3:39 pm
Atalante
yeah :(:(:(:(
3:39 pm
hurshy
it's very... literary though
3:40 pm
Atalante
the match will certainly not be forgotten!
3:40 pm
hurshy
speaking of which, i have an idea for a novel - or at least novella
3:41 pm
hurshy
you know that kid we chaperoned in europe? it would be about him. fascinating character study.
3:42 pm
Atalante
oh interesting
3:42 pm
hurshy
he's completely amoral, but hides it from most everyone
3:43 pm
hurshy
sort of dorian gray esque, i suppose
3:44 pm
hurshy
he's so young though... should i just make up how he turns out, or wait and see and then write it.
3:45 pm
hurshy
nothing like a good excuse for procrastination.
3:45 pm
Atalante
make it up, then see how right youwere!
3:45 pm
Haz1558
Maybe that's how torgone began.
3:46 pm
hurshy
i finished anna k, btw. don't know why everyone says it is a sad book.
3:46 pm
hurshy
now i'm reading trollope's "the warden"
3:46 pm
Atalante
*love* that book
3:46 pm
Haz1558
Oh, you are in for a treat if you read the whole Barchester Chronicles series. I love them.
3:46 pm
hurshy
i did seem to recall that you were a trollope fan
3:47 pm
hurshy
yes, i know we have the second one as well.
3:47 pm
Jeff7
fi 5/18 & 6/30 please
3:47 pm
Haz1558
I think he's wonderful - the political novels are excelllent reading as well.
3:47 pm
Atalante
they are wonderful wonderful wonderful books
3:48 pm
hurshy
i'm supplementing it with some non-fiction. right now i'm in "the shia revival" - about inter-islamic conflicts and how they are shaping and will shape the middle east.
3:48 pm
hurshy
fi5/18 like ri5/12
3:48 pm
Haz1558
There's a brilliant adaptation by the BBC starring people like Alan Rickman as Mr Slope, Geraldine McEwan as Mrs Proudie, Susan Hampshire etc etc. Worth searchihg for.
3:48 pm
Vicuna
Hello, again, Regulars.
3:48 pm
hurshy
oh, love alan rickman, of course!
3:49 pm
hurshy
these new marples with geraldine mcewan, gosh, though, they changed way too much from the books!
3:49 pm
Haz1558
He manages to make you loathe him in this.....
3:49 pm
hurshy
well, he does play a lot of good villians...
3:50 pm
hurshy
vi, so did you see i just said i finished anna k - about a week or two ago... ready to discuss?
3:50 pm
Haz1558
I can't be doing with the new Miss Marple. Joan Hickson was just perfect for the role. Geraldine McEwan is a brilliant actress, but not right for the part.
3:50 pm
hurshy
and they made her have had an affair!! MISS MARPLE!!!
3:50 pm
Vicuna
lol! After reading the "short synopsis" which was about 10 pages long, I remembered why I didn't like it.
3:50 pm
Vicuna
Miss Marple having an affair? That's just stupid.
3:51 pm
Haz1558
Just ridiculous!
3:51 pm
hurshy
there is a woman who is a greeter at our walmart who would make a fabulous miss marple.
3:51 pm
hurshy
I KNOW! they clearly had some agendas. made a lot of things about gay love affairs, too.
3:51 pm
Vicuna
Then don't ever try shoplifting with her around, eh?
3:51 pm
Haz1558
Hurshy, have you ever read the Mapp and Lucia books by E F Benson? They are hilarious and I think you would appreciate the Englishness of them.
3:53 pm
Vicuna
That was made into a TV series, too, wasn't it?
3:53 pm
Haz1558
It was - in the 80's I think - Geraldine McEwan again, Prunella Scales and Nigel Hawthorne. But the books are a joy.
3:54 pm
hurshy
i shall endeavor to check out these benson books.
3:54 pm
Vicuna
I'll check those out, then.
3:54 pm
hurshy
are they as funny as wodehouse?
3:54 pm
Haz1558
Wodehouse is in a class of his own, but they make me laugh out loud as well.
3:55 pm
hurshy
vi - i just cannot understand why you don't like anna k. i loved every bit of it. and it is NOT a sad book, it is exactly half sad and half happy.
3:55 pm
hurshy
anna's life goes on a downward trend, but levin's goes on an upward one.
3:56 pm
Vicuna
No, it wasn't the sadness, it was the time spent agonizing!
3:56 pm
hurshy
ah, well, you can see how *i* would identify with that!
3:56 pm
torgone
Did I see someone taking my name in vain (vein? vane?)
3:56 pm
Haz1558
He lives!
3:56 pm
hurshy
no, nobody has been talking about you at all...
3:57 pm
Vicuna
But really what's amazing to me is how forgettable I found it. Usually literature really sticks with me. Poor Tolstoy should be really offended!
3:57 pm
torgone
Oh okay . .I'll go back to washing dishes ..
3:57 pm
hurshy
well i'm offended for him. i think it's one of the best books ever.
3:57 pm
Vicuna
Well, glad you enjoyed it, anyway. It's always a Good Thing to find a book you like.
3:58 pm
Haz1558
Have you ever read Madame Bovary? There's a heroine you'd want to slap.
3:58 pm
Vicuna
I just had trouble caring about the characters, I guess. I figured, if they want to spend their time wallowing around, that's fine, but why do I have to spend my time reading about it!
3:59 pm
hurshy
i cared about all of them... had a lot of trouble deciding who i identified with the most!
3:59 pm
Vicuna
lol. Well, I suppose you're with the majority on this one!
3:59 pm
jaa1169
clues! i need clues!!!!!!
3:59 pm
hurshy
ahem. what sort of clues?
4:00 pm
Vicuna
And slapping books doesn't ever give much satisfaction.

MAN, i love classic novels. dickens, austen, eliot, bronte, wharton... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about these books' existence.
4:01 pm
hurshy
fe + the babbler with the red icon that we were NOT talking about at all.
4:01 pm
torgone
A bad smell . .
4:01 pm
hurshy
there he is.
4:01 pm
hurshy
tor i sent you email.
4:01 pm
Vicuna
So, torgone, you seem to have really riled these ladies up!
4:01 pm
Haz1558
I also like Wilkie Collins - forerunner of the modern detective novel 'The Moonstone'.
4:02 pm
Vicuna
Oh yes, I liked The Moonstone and the Woman in White.
4:02 pm
hurshy
oh yes, i've heard about wilkie collins.
4:02 pm
torgone
Speaking of novels . .
4:02 pm
hurshy
as good as agatha christie?
4:02 pm
hurshy
i loved the MOUSEtrap when i saw it this summer...
4:02 pm
hurshy
dorothy sayers is the best, of course.
4:02 pm
Vicuna
Different. Agatha Christie is all about the puzzle. Collins is all about the atmosphere.
4:03 pm
Haz1558
He's really good, lots of plots and counter-plots. And much better written than Agatha.
4:03 pm
hurshy
well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me mr. torgone sir.
4:03 pm
Vicuna
YAY DOROTHY SAYERS!
4:03 pm
torgone
I tend to do that just by showing up, vic .. Not sure how . . .
4:03 pm
mousey
MOUSETRAP?!?!
4:03 pm
Haz1558
Another favourite 'detective' writer, combining history and sleuthing is Ellis Peters, with the Brother Cadfael series.
4:03 pm
Vicuna
I guess it's just your powerful charisma, tor. What a burden.
4:03 pm
hurshy
i love the bit in "have his carcase" about how harriet buys the claret colored frock
4:03 pm
Vicuna
Yes, I liked those, too, Haz.
4:03 pm
torgone
jk hurshy . .one to savor . .
4:04 pm
diem
Hursh mousetrap STILL running?
4:04 pm
Haz1558
I think she evokes the atmosphere beautifully.
4:04 pm
hurshy
yep, going strong diem
4:04 pm
hurshy
luckily for me
4:04 pm
hurshy
not so lucky for mousey
4:05 pm
hurshy
have noted down these authors :)
4:05 pm
Vicuna
I long to live in a world where people talk like so wittily.
4:05 pm
Haz1558
The Brother Cadfael novels are set in mediaeval Shrewsbury.
4:06 pm
hurshy
it's odd though, vi, wittiness works so much better in books. on TV, it comes across as very fake, so i think it probably would in real life too.
4:06 pm
Vicuna
(See, I'm not even witty enough to say what I meant correctly. Bllgh.)
4:06 pm
Vicuna
Perhaps. In which case, maybe I should become a book.
4:06 pm
hurshy
the few times i saw dawson's creek it drove me NUTS that way - NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT, esp not teenagers, most of whom aren't even supposed to be particularly smart.
4:06 pm
hurshy
ooh, i'll become one with you.
4:07 pm
Vicuna
Oh no you don't... Not if you're going to be like Anna K! lol
4:07 pm
hurshy
you can be the comic relief
4:07 pm
Vicuna
Thanks. I think.
4:08 pm
Vicuna
Let's see, combine Wodehouse and Tolstoy, and what do you get?
4:08 pm
hurshy
something very weird...
4:08 pm
torgone
Tolhouse cookies?
4:08 pm
hurshy
we could become a less intense poirot or lord peter story - one with just theft instead of murder...
4:08 pm
hurshy
ohhhhhh tor
4:09 pm
Vicuna
mmmm.... cookies...
4:09 pm
Haz1558
I tried to get my daughter to read P G Wodehouse, but she couldn't get into it at all. I've obviously failed as a mother.
4:09 pm
Vicuna
Yes, that sounds good, hurshy. I trust neither of us will be forced to be either the culprit or the victim.
4:10 pm
hurshy
don't feel too bad haz. my little sister doesn't like to read AT ALL.
4:10 pm
hurshy
no, we'll be the kids who get all excited about having a REAL MYSTERY in the house.
4:10 pm
Vicuna
Oh, condolences, Haz.
4:11 pm
Haz1558
But that's the thing - she is a voracious reader. She just couldn't transport herself into the world he creates.
4:11 pm
hurshy
well, when i first read a wodehouse, in college, i liked it ok, but didn't totally... get there... and then later i did, so maybe there is still hope.
4:12 pm
Vicuna
Well, I don't exactly read Wodehouse for immersion in that world. It's his narration that's the point of it all.
4:12 pm
hurshy
i just love when he does things like "the b. and e." for bacon and eggs. cracks me up every time.
4:12 pm
Haz1558
Maybe - he just writes so perfectly that you sigh and think 'genius'.
4:13 pm
Vicuna
Yeah. He's full of "I wish I'd thought of that" moments.
4:14 pm
hurshy
i have to try to get hold of the hugh laurie as bertie wooster videos
4:15 pm
Vicuna
Dr Seuss uses "glup" and Carrol uses "toves." Why, oh why, can't Enable?
4:15 pm
Vicuna
Hugh Laurie's very good as Bertie.
4:15 pm
hurshy
i hope the library has them
4:16 pm
hurshy
i'm sure stephen fry makes a good jeeves, only to me, jeeves ought to be thinner.
4:17 pm
hurshy
or shorter or something. i dunno. not so large overall.
4:17 pm
Haz1558
Stephen Fry has the most beautiful speaking voice but he doesn't quite do it for me as Jeeves. It's difficult to top the original novels, of course.
4:17 pm
Vicuna
Yes. He's pretty good, but didn't seem quite right to me, either, somehow.
4:18 pm
hurshy
i felt the same about gilbert in the anne movies. thought he should have had a thinner face.
4:19 pm
Haz1558
Was this the Anne series with Colleen Dewhurst? and Megan somebody in the Anne role?
4:19 pm
hurshy
i was telling the jeweler yesterday about anne thinking diamonds were purple and being disappointed when she saw a real one, and he was like, oh, i haven't read those, and i was like, well, you wouldn't have... they're mostly girl books...
4:19 pm
hurshy
yes haz. colleen dewhurst was very good. :)
4:19 pm
hurshy
and richard farnsworth, such a sweet matthew.
4:20 pm
dicktrickle
i'm missing a p4....how many are there?
4:20 pm
Haz1558
The early ones were good (in the video series) but they messed around with the plot to a terrible degree in later ones. It became almost unrecognisable in the end.
4:20 pm
Vicuna
I watched the beginning of the series, and lost interest as they dragged it on.
4:20 pm
hurshy
if you know you're missing a P4, don't you know how many there are?
4:20 pm
dicktrickle
i mean pe, pl, pu...
4:21 pm
Haz1558
Yes, Matthew was perfect - his death produced the inevitable tears even though I've been mourning him regularly for years.
4:21 pm
hurshy
yes, i quite agree haz. the first one is as faithful as any movie can be, the second mixes elements from at least 3 books, the third is just complete made up hogwash.
4:21 pm
hurshy
you prob want pf4
4:21 pm
Vicuna
lol, Haz. I mean, not to laugh at sorrow or anything...
4:21 pm
dicktrickle
thanks....and that's what i'm saying right now
4:21 pm
hurshy
i always cry when matthew dies too!
4:22 pm
hurshy
and walter...
4:22 pm
Haz1558
So why did they do it? Why start something so well and then make a pig's ear of the rest of it?
4:22 pm
Vicuna
I'm a veritable fountain when reading. I ought to put all my books under clear plastic while I'm reading.
4:22 pm
Haz1558
And that dog sitting at the railway station for years.
4:23 pm
Haz1558
Little Women - Beth's death. Sodden pages.
4:23 pm
hurshy
well get this, haz, the prodoucer claimed that they'd set the first movie later than the book was set (um, how exactly did that get indicated???), and therefore, the war came around when anne was younger... go figure.
4:23 pm
Vicuna
They did that with the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, too. Started out wonderfully faithful, and then started making stuff up randomly.
4:23 pm
hurshy
they practically turned her into macgyver! it was SO ridiculous.
4:23 pm
Haz1558
He was just making excuses - the beginning was 'timeless'.
4:24 pm
hurshy
rupert everett was a pretty good holmes in that recent one.
4:24 pm
Vicuna
I didn't see that.
4:25 pm
hurshy
he definitely captures the darker side of holmes better than some other holmeses. the cocaine, the ups and downs between boredom and ... HEY
4:25 pm
hurshy
i just realized that house is a lot like holmes. was that intentional?
4:26 pm
hurshy
well sorry, some of us are a little slow.
4:26 pm
Haz1558
Have I not heard on the grapevine that House becomes a new person - all cheery and concerned?
4:26 pm
torgone
KIDDING . . .
4:26 pm
hurshy
LOL, i doubt that haz, they've got to know that people watch house cause of the way he is
4:26 pm
Haz1558
Cheery about himself, concerned about his patients, I mean.
4:27 pm
hurshy
oh, KIDDING. *cough*.
4:27 pm
Vicuna
Wait, hurshy, weren't we just discussing how they take shows that start off well, and then mess them up?
4:27 pm
hurshy
well i have noticed no such trend as yet.
4:27 pm
hurshy
yes but those are usually TV movies, not regular TV series.
4:27 pm
Haz1558
But was he not shot or something, thereby precipitating a personality change? I don't watch it so am not aware of all the ins and outs.
4:28 pm
hurshy
although there is that whole "jump the shark" website...
4:28 pm
hurshy
he was shot
4:28 pm
hurshy
but, it did not really change him
4:28 pm
hurshy
in fact, it was so funny, cuddy had the carpet replaced, cause it was stained with blood from his bullet wound, and he demanded that she put it back.
4:28 pm
Haz1558
Okay, I must have misunderstood. I was thinking it would put hurshy right off if he was nice.
4:29 pm
hurshy
he's not not nice, really... he's just honest... like simon cowell...
4:30 pm
hurshy
i wonder if he and cuddy...
4:30 pm
Enomis65
hello babblers, how goes the battle?
4:30 pm
hurshy
i dunno, it's hard for me to picture exactly what type of woman would really go with house.
4:30 pm
Haz1558
I usually agree with Simon Cowell's estimation of artists. Why pander to vanity?
4:30 pm
hurshy
there's no battle today, enomis. more of a thumb-wrestle.
4:30 pm
hurshy
EXACTLY, haz.
4:31 pm
Vicuna
Hello, Enomis.
4:32 pm
Haz1558
Enomis, good afternoon!
4:33 pm
hurshy
hooooooooow MUCH is that kitten in the window? the one with the crook in his tail? how MUCH is that kitten in the window? i do hope that kitten's for sale...
4:34 pm
Vicuna
You should get your kittens from the pound, hursh.
4:34 pm
periwinkle
Hi everyone, what is the topic of discussion?
4:34 pm
hurshy
i got 2 of them from a shelter, one from a family.
4:34 pm
periwinkle
I got my last two cats from a shelter
4:34 pm
hurshy
we was talking about literature, TV movies, house, and all sorts o' things
4:34 pm
Haz1558
Hello periwinkle - we've been discussing books and film adaptations. And torgone.
4:34 pm
Vicuna
We ranged broadly over literature, peri, then entered television (by way of TV adaptations of literature) and have recently veered into kittens.
4:35 pm
hurshy
with me, it always veers into kittens eventually.
4:35 pm
Haz1558
The kitten conversation will see me reduced to theory only.
4:35 pm
torgone
I got a cat from a farm once . .After shredding and defiling everything in the apartment, he went right back there . .
4:35 pm
Vicuna
lol, Haz. That's how I was on the House and Simon Cowell segment.
4:35 pm
hurshy
i just like to adapt songs to be about them. we don't have to actually discuss them.
4:36 pm
hurshy
or this line from back to the future part III:
4:36 pm
hurshy
"ever'body, ever'where, will say that Martin Cat is the cutest yella belly in the West"
4:36 pm
Haz1558
The same day, torgone?
4:37 pm
hurshy
ohhhhh the cat came back, the very next day...
4:37 pm
Vicuna
I went through the desert on a cat with no name...
4:38 pm
periwinkle
I like Cat Stevens
4:38 pm
hurshy
i love you........... for cinder-mental reasons
4:38 pm
torgone
It took a few days to realize it wasn't going to get along with my stupid ex's stupid dog . .
4:38 pm
Haz1558
Yes, Cat Stevens and Top Cat (or was he Boss Cat in the States?)
4:39 pm
periwinkle
Hasa TO been today, wonder how her back is
4:39 pm
hurshy
she was on earlier
4:39 pm
Haz1558
So, you gave the cat a fighting chance (literally)
4:39 pm
torgone
You're out in the desert . .nothing much to do . . Why not name the cat?
4:39 pm
periwinkle
did she mention that her back was feeling better?
4:40 pm
Vicuna
The way you scratched my chairs
The way you yowled til three
The way you shed those hairs
No, no, they can't take that away from me...
4:40 pm
hurshy
i don't think she mentioned. however, backs are not the sort of body part that generally feels better quickly.
4:40 pm
torgone
Top Cat was fave ..
4:40 pm
periwinkle
Vicuna, you are on a roll
4:41 pm
hurshy
cute and pettable, that's what you are
cute and gettable, though near or far
that's why martling, it's incredible
that a cat so cute and edible

4:41 pm
Nicola1106

4:41 pm
periwinkle
What about The Cat in the Hat
4:41 pm
periwinkle
hurshy, you are on a roll too
4:41 pm
hurshy
ends in a double vowel, nicola
4:41 pm
hurshy
well he's yummy
4:41 pm
Nicola1106
thanks!
4:41 pm
hurshy
i joke that because he is yummy and in love with me, he is edible and Oedipal.
4:41 pm
Vicuna
I think you'd better say he's pettable.
4:42 pm
hurshy
i always tell him i want to eat him right up.
4:42 pm
hurshy
he's just so CUTE!
4:42 pm
torgone
. . .must . . .resist . . . .
4:43 pm
periwinkle
resist what torgone?
4:43 pm
hurshy
what, it's not enough to tease me about trek?
4:43 pm
hurshy
mocking me, of course, peri
4:43 pm
hurshy
see, there he goes!
4:44 pm
torgone
. .must . .resist . .joke . ..
4:44 pm
hurshy
oh go on then
4:44 pm
periwinkle
oh, okay, torgone
4:45 pm
periwinkle
is it a joke about a cat?
4:45 pm
torgone
Never mind .. the moment is gone and it's a family site . .
4:46 pm
hurshy
i knew it! i knew you were bluffing! i knew he was... bluffing.
4:46 pm
Vicuna
Huh. Probably realized you couldn't remember the punchline.
4:47 pm
Vicuna
(Princes Bride reference duly noted, btw.)
4:47 pm
Vicuna
or even Princess.
4:47 pm
arleneehm
oops...sorry
4:47 pm
Vicuna
Hello, arlene.
4:48 pm
periwinkle
bbl, gonna feed my cat and myself
4:48 pm
hurshy
hey wouldn't it be a funny challenge to write a story using all the words from a babble grid... a smallish one like this of course...
4:49 pm
Haz1558
Good afternoon, arlene - and see you later, peri.
4:49 pm
Vicuna
All this talk of cats made you hungry, eh, peri?
4:49 pm
hurshy
LOL - is she ALF?
4:49 pm
Anniebrook
Hi babblers, sorry to interrupt but I am bald on the left side of my skull, my last word, in 6/21, help, please
4:49 pm
Vicuna
I recall that in second grade I wrote a story about some nice ice mice, using all the spelling words.
4:50 pm
Haz1558
Would it be a type of bug, Annie? Not the listening kind.
4:50 pm
hurshy
i wrote a story about being five inches tall.
4:50 pm
Vicuna
in6/21 - 6 legs, 3 body segments
4:50 pm
Anniebrook
bless you, hurshy, done!!!!
4:50 pm
Anniebrook
and vicuna!
4:51 pm
Anniebrook
and Haz!!!
4:51 pm
hurshy
but mine was the most concise.
4:51 pm
Vicuna
But mine was the most scientifically accurate, so there!
4:51 pm
hurshy
there's something highly amusing about saying nothing but the word
4:51 pm
Haz1558
Waving acknowledgement - mine was not concise, but took in different meanings of bug....
4:51 pm
Enomis65
does anybody have a clue for in 6/21 and in 7/32? These are my last two...
4:52 pm
Haz1558
So who gets the prize?
4:52 pm
Haz1558
To encourage/provoke in6
4:52 pm
hurshy
don't in6 a ri4, we can't have any violence on a sunday
4:52 pm
Anniebrook
in 6/21 was my last too, it is a bug
4:52 pm
Vicuna
Whoever can do the best for Enomis, I guess!
4:52 pm
Vicuna
in6/21 - encourage, as in violence or riots
4:52 pm
Anniebrook
and in 7/32 is plural of in 6/21
4:52 pm
Vicuna
conjugate verb for in7
4:53 pm
Enomis65
TY TY TY FIREWORKS TY TY TY
4:53 pm
hurshy
vi, you cheated!
4:53 pm
hurshy
enomis, you must hand out the award.
4:53 pm
Vicuna
Oops, I'm disqualified for using a form of a grid word!
4:53 pm
arleneehm
'c' not an 's' aaarrrrghhhhh
