there's a guy on ew.com that is a Lost junkie and he always has weird theories. They also do an episode recap and sometimes he catches things--easter eggs the producers call them

sprite

glad little monkey is getting better :)

1:43 am

MonkeyGames

Me too, but I have missed WAY too much school this quarter and i have no idea if i'll be able to pass. Luckily there are later chances, so the worst that could happen is more work later.

herinfernallady

Grrrrrrrr

1:44 am

pinkhatlil

1:44 am

herinfernallady

1:47 am

herinfernallady

1:47 am

BabbleRabble

death, generally, is quite permanent

1:47 am

herinfernallady

Sprite a cell mate might be nicer

1:48 am

herinfernallady

I could get really fit and healthy on the inside :)

1:48 am

sprite

BabbleRabble has a point there... if you have to do it again, you did a lousy job last time

1:49 am

herinfernallady

If i had the power of reannimating dead bodies his would be on the last on the list

1:49 am

MonkeyGames

2:17 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks for that fu. Her, I'm one of those offensive kooks who belive no words "really are ick". Except, of course, ick, the goldfish disease.

2:17 am

Crone

second that opinion saph

2:17 am

herinfernallady

that is true saph i agree its just a word but last time people did get upset and thats their thing so be it, mine is i try to be pg so i dont get booted for being a potty mouth

2:18 am

2:19 am

Crone

Hey, Morning Haz!!

3:26 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, Haz pretty quiet here

3:26 am

Haz1558

Hello there - it seems to have gone quiet, you're right, BabbleRabble. Hi, FMitch, haven't seen you for a while.

3:28 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness another reasonable grid length for today.

3:28 am

FMitch

I haven't had time to chat this week.Did F get home OK?

3:29 am

Haz1558

She did, thanks and she has spread herself and her 'stuff' around nicely.

3:30 am

FMitch

Ah the price to pay to see ones offspring.
Sticky grid today, am battling to find each word now. :(

3:31 am

Haz1558

It does look a bit tortuous. She had spent the weekend in Bath (one of her flatmates lives there) and has come home raving about it. The crypt in the Abbey was a big success!

3:34 am

hydra

Hi Haz, FMitch, Rabble. Clue for the ar6?

3:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning hydra.

3:35 am

FMitch

Hi hydra, don't have it yet.

3:35 am

BabbleRabble

hello, hydra

3:35 am

Haz1558

But I bet BabbleRabble does.....

3:36 am

BabbleRabble

ar 6 --- batman dodger

3:36 am

hydra

Lovely poppy, Rabble

3:38 am

Haz1558

I knew it! Thanks Babble.

3:38 am

hydra

Good clue but can't get it. I thought his enemy was theJoker...

3:38 am

Haz1558

Think of Oliver Twist

3:38 am

BabbleRabble

art + sated, less one

3:40 am

FMitch

That worked Haz.

3:40 am

M3

arrr the F's ar ffffffffflipping driving me crazy. !! morning all. x

3:41 am

Haz1558

Good morning M3 - this looks like alphabetti spaghetti with all the wrong letters.

3:42 am

FMitch

I'll second that!!!
Hi M3

3:42 am

MonkeyGames

Back briefly. I have f's. Can I help?

3:43 am

Haz1558

BabbleRabble - you're suppose to say something encouraging at this point like 'a stroll in the park' or ' piece of cake'.

3:44 am

BabbleRabble

I really think it is a nice grid ... I have been boogalooing down broadway

3:45 am

Haz1558

Oh Babble! I'm feeling more like crawling into a hole than boogalooing anywhere!

3:45 am

Haz1558

But I have found an au7 so life is looking brighter.

3:46 am

BabbleRabble

did I mention the white coats were in pursuit?

3:47 am

Haz1558

No, you didn't, but it's a strangely comforting image.

3:48 am

Karys

found that one thank you Haz...and a tr7, and hello everyone !

3:48 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Karys. We'll be stretching our word skills today.

3:49 am

FMitch

Morning Karys

3:49 am

Karys

going to intersperse ( that's a nice word ), with the ironing today

3:50 am

hydra

Thanks, Haz and Rabble. Got it now. Morning Karys.

3:50 am

Haz1558

You can take your frustrations (no it's not one of the f words) out on the clothes.

3:52 am

Karys

looking at this grid, the ironing seems like light relief !

3:53 am

BabbleRabble

au 7/36; az 7/52; de 7/32; fa 7/44; mi 7/44; si 7/28; ta 7/32; tr 7/32

3:53 am

Haz1558

I've just found a cu6/30 - used in Fermanagh to talk about a young boy, but no dictionary definition given here. It has the same structure as a loving hug, but replaces a consonant with a vowel.

3:54 am

Karys

thnaks Haz

3:56 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! Cool one! There's also a t word that is an important element in a dog's dietary requirements. Cool long word.

3:56 am

Haz1558

mi6/27 - Scots word for a house that needs cleaning. (literally a dung-heap) The Scots are so descriptive.

4:00 am

MonkeyGames

We won't discuss what MY first word today was....

4:01 am

Karys

ahhhh......

4:02 am

jayr

we use discriptive words alot so u can't understand us! LOL

4:02 am

Haz1558

I'm sure your house could never be described thus! Anyway, sorry to run out, especially since lynxxx has just arrived (recovered your equilibrium after the other day?) but I'll be back later to continue the torture. Chin up, people, this is just a game, and we pay to enjoy ourselves.

4:03 am

FMitch

pay or play?!?! TTFN Haz

4:03 am

Goosey

is that play or pay Haz!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Byee!

4:03 am

lynxxx

See you later Haz - and I'm sure I'll have no trouble with that mi either

4:03 am

Haz1558

Pay! We've paid membership so we can torture ourselves and our brains!

4:04 am

Karys

bye Haz

4:04 am

Haz1558

I'm off.....

4:04 am

Goosey

4:06 am

4:19 am

BabbleRabble

BabbleRabble

4:23 am

herinfernallady

thanks i got it

4:24 am

MonkeyGames

ve6?

4:24 am

herinfernallady

just trying to figure out why aude and zulu are not accept

4:25 am

BabbleRabble

ve 6 -- add a **** of passage, or initiation

4:25 am

MonkeyGames

Zulu is proper; I guess the other z got away with it because it is also a currency. Not sure about aude.

4:26 am

MonkeyGames

BabbleRabble--Thanks, thought I'd already tried that one!

4:26 am

herinfernallady

aude means lout in french and i know that certain words have been accepted

4:28 am

BabbleRabble

other than to vent, to maunder about words is futile since the enable dictionary is notorious for being capricious

4:30 am

herinfernallady

true true true gives me head scratches some times

4:30 am

MonkeyGames

ur5/12, not the fluid (unless both are)?

4:30 am

lynxxx

Scarlet

Good morning, Haz. I have no intention of becoming political, here, but I am ignorant of the implications of Great Britain mandating a Protestant/Catholic sort of coalition for those in office in Northern Ireland...is it a good thing for the people?

6:30 am

herinfernallady

hi scarlet and can i have a fish thron at me

6:30 am

Haz1558

Scarlet - good morning. Ireland's history is long and complicated and history looks different depending on your viewpoint. My feeling is that the political agreement that has been reached will hopefully bring about happiness and prosperity for the whole country, but I am desperately sorry that it has been achieved at the expense of over 3000 lives lost over the past 30 years, because of terrorism.

6:31 am

ch1212

Scarlet, are you the author I worked with from the National Endowment of the Arts, who was from the South? In 1995? (Saw your bio and am now wondering ...)

6:33 am

MonkeyGames

The ne word? I confess I'm stumped, or just stupid, or both.

6:33 am

Scarlet

Thank you Haz. This media mess in the U.S.A. says Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein in the same breath as the ground-breaking accord in Northern Ireland... and I become very upset. Hello, ch1212. No, I worked in Pennsylvania with the NEPA opera and arts endowments, but not outside of that area.

6:34 am

ch1212

Ah, thanks. Her first name was Scarlett, and your bio mentions NC, so I had to ask. :)

6:35 am

Scarlet

My first name is Bobbie, and the Scarlet is my daughter's idea of a joke... We are redheads. We moved to the South in Dec. of 2005, but thank for the compliment by association, ch1212. :-)

6:35 am

Haz1558

Time will tell whether this is for the best. We have longed for peace - sometimes the price seems very high, but risks have to be taken.

6:36 am

lynxxx

ne4.7 ne + I wonder ** I will finish this?

6:37 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks. Again, that's a word?!

6:37 am

Scarlet

Haz, as a newsreader of intense desire to understand the political machinations of the civilized nations, I hold high hope of its success.

6:38 am

Haz1558

I hope so as well - but you can understand the frustration of law-abiding people when law-breaking seems to reap rewards.....

6:40 am

MonkeyGames

Stuck on the last mi4.

Got that one.

6:41 am

Scarlet

I do, Haz. And, I have come to understand that there has, in the recent past, (25 years, or so) been financial support from certain individuals in the United States for such terrorism. It saddens and sickens me. Enough. To the grid. Thank you again, Haz.

6:42 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scarlet - the grid is going to test us all today.

6:43 am

Scarlet

Yes it is... but that is the very reason I am here... and I suspect that that is your reasoning also. :-)

7:55 am

Haz1558

fi5/18 - f plus plural frozen water

7:55 am

Scrabbler

I am totally confused about the nu--magazine word? Al Bundy? Little person? Do I deserve a fish?

7:55 am

MonkeyGames

The other one. Thanks, though.

7:55 am

Haz1558

or fi5/18 (different one) plural fi4/8 - structured the same as di4/6 - comes in compact form

7:56 am

MonkeyGames

The au one is like the group watching a play but in the singular.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

majmom==German car, Au** + Lord of the Rings tree ***

7:56 am

8:00 am

MonkeyGames

OK, taking an fi break, not getting that one. de6/24?

8:00 am

Haz1558

de6/24 - performs the function of removing frozen water plural

8:01 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, duh! Thanks! What about two de5/14's?

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I got only one fi4 -5 combo

8:01 am

Haz1558

Monkey - the fi5 you are looking for - the di4 that is structured in the same way comes in compact form and also features in the back.

8:01 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, only need one.

8:02 am

Haz1558

de5/14 - one is the singular, the other is a belief in a god.

8:03 am

MonkeyGames

I ahve teh god one.The other is the singular of what?

8:03 am

Haz1558

It comes before de6/24 - think singular frozen water

8:03 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, again, duh. Thank you.

8:04 am

Alleyn

Back to do the last 27! I have none of the en words or te words. Clues welcome

8:05 am

OK, 4 left and one is that fi word. The others are ALL cu: I have the rude one, the 6/30, and the adorable one. I need teh other three.

8:05 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, and I have the past-tense pool one.

8:05 am

NonoNanette

cu5 is another adorabale one

8:06 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - for one en6 think of completeness. The en5/10 adds a spanish aunt.

8:06 am

lynxxx

cu4.9 cu + and ** you work out this clue you will have the word

8:07 am

NonoNanette

8:09 am

MonkeyGames

So. One cu and one fi to go.

8:09 am

NonoNanette

i need cu6 yet

8:10 am

Haz1558

There are four fi words - two fi4 and fi5 combinations, both fi5 being plurals of the fi4.

8:10 am

Haz1558

cu6/30 - resembles the structure of a loving hug for a child, but replace a consonant at the end with a vowel.

8:11 am

MonkeyGames

Every time I try to pluralize the one that looks like it has to do with money, it says taht's not in the dictionary!

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Ty for the cu6, Hazel, and I found the other fi5-5 combo

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Lori--are you still alive here?

8:12 am

Haz1558

Monkey - try refreshing to see if that helps. It's definitely a plural word.

8:12 am

MonkeyGames

Got that one! Just one cu to go.

8:12 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Haz, by the way--that did help.

8:13 am

MonkeyGames

Just cu5/14 left, not the fingernail one.

8:13 am

Haz1558

2264 is the final point total if that helps you work out what you need for the cu word.

8:13 am

Alleyn

Have the fi connected to dogs! Clue for the other please

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I have no U words yet--are they weird ones?

8:13 am

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy--how is the job/career search going?

8:15 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - it is structured in the same way as a di4/6 - it comes in compact form for the computer or in reference to a part of the back between vertebrae.

8:15 am

hurshy

oh, just fine thanks :)

8:15 am

hurshy

i need a V - have 4, 6, 4, and a clue for the Z would be fab...

8:15 am

8:16 am

Haz1558

cu5/14 - ends either in a men's neckwear or in a type of metal (there are two cu5/14)

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Or, an endearing term, cu5 pie!

8:16 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, he slice one is the one I have. Need the otehr one.

8:16 am

NonoNanette

oh my friends my friends! don't ask me what your sacrifice was for...

10:16 am

10:21 am

BabbleRabble

scene

10:21 am

hurshy

i know brabble. it's just, while top gun is a good movie, it's not really in the same league as les mis

10:21 am

hurshy

so i guess i need a DU and a DE

10:23 am

BabbleRabble

so, that being the case, a scene of empty tables and chairs is not a scene of empty tables and chairs

10:23 am

hurshy

denit should be a word. *shudders, remembering the lice epidemic in college*

10:23 am

hurshy

exactly brabble.

10:24 am

BabbleRabble

why, i say HOGWASH

10:25 am

hurshy

you don't see a diff between goose dying in a tragic accident as the result of maverick's overconfidence and a group of hot-blooded young frenchmen rebelling against the nobility??

Back briefly while the onions soften.

4:53 pm

gwenski

Thanks, hurshy. Got it!

4:53 pm

Scarlet

Excellent clue, hurshy!

4:54 pm

hurshy

see the thing is, we give the clue, and then someone says i don't know dickens, and we think in our snobbish heads, "well you SHOULD", and are thus reluctant to reclue. except for the really nice people.

4:54 pm

Jinxie2300

<---- is a really nice person... but i know Dickens, so.... LOL

4:54 pm

gwenski

Hope to be back later to finish. Thanks for the help.

4:54 pm

Scarlet

99% of the Babblers are fabulous folks, and I have been more stumped by arcane clues than the Lickety's listings and values.

4:55 pm

hurshy

well there's arcane, and then there's dickens

4:56 pm

Scarlet

Did you get a funny injection today, hurshy? LOL

4:56 pm

hurshy

it's not as if they haven't made it into a movie, even, for crying out loud!

4:56 pm

hurshy

certainly not. i am not remotely funny.

4:56 pm

Scarlet

You are being extremely funny... maybe it's just your nature to be wry.

4:57 pm

hurshy

"what makes you say that?" she said wryly

4:57 pm

Scarlet

Ham on wry, she asked, pickle-faced...

4:58 pm

hurshy

i scared someone on sudoku chat with my nonsense this afternoon :(

4:58 pm

Scarlet

That, as the great philosophers say, is their problem...

4:59 pm

hurshy

but no man is an island... it tolls for thee etc etc

4:59 pm

Scarlet

And never sit on a porcupine...

5:00 pm

hurshy

it causes me chagrin that there are so many NORMAL people out there who neither understand nor appreciate nonsense, for i take nonsense more seriously than almost anything else.

5:00 pm

Jinxie2300

Don't squat with yer spurs on..

5:00 pm

hurshy

why must normality be so prevalent?

5:01 pm

Scarlet

Perfect, Jinxie. Hi, by the way, and welcome. Normalcy is a matter of opinion... I'd rather be a touch unhinged than anally perfect....

5:01 pm

Scarlet

Nonsense has its merits... Jabberwocky was not for the children...

5:01 pm

Jinxie2300

TY Scarlet... i'm scared of people who think they are normal...

5:02 pm

hurshy

alice in wonderland is practically my blueprint for existence...

5:02 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Jinxie... I'm with you and hurshy... it's the ones who think that they have it all together who grab the UZI and blast the neighborhood...

5:03 pm

grannyg

Hi everyone. Good grief I haven't been "normal" in years but not many people understand my humor!!

5:03 pm

Jinxie2300

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

5:03 pm

Scarlet

Hi, grannyg!! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole... "Eat Me" and grow... and grow etc.,

5:03 pm

hurshy

5:04 pm

hurshy

5:04 pm

grannyg

No please - I definitely don't need to grow anymore

5:04 pm

Scarlet

You and my daughter... I'm a Dijon freak myself... (don't tell the other Babblers) Shhhhh

5:04 pm

Scarlet

Then, grannyg, "Eat Me" and grow smaller....

5:05 pm

hurshy

5:05 pm

hurshy

I love fried green tomatoes... Hi, nuttie! Welcome to your life... LOL

5:07 pm

hurshy

5:07 pm

grannyg

5:07 pm

Jinxie2300

only 119 left.... *deep sigh*

5:07 pm

evanonut

i guess i'll go eat worms

5:07 pm

Scarlet

WHAT???!!! Is this an existential meltdown... and I didn't get the memo??

5:07 pm

grannyg

I'm the only one in my family that likes fried green tomatoes so I fix them every year just for me.

5:08 pm

Jinxie2300

can i have some evannut?

5:08 pm

Scarlet

Nut.... don't go... Feel the love?? It's wafting to your little pirate ship!

5:08 pm

grannyg

Got to get back to the grid - this puzzle isn't easy.

5:08 pm

hurshy

dang it all, i go shopping, i buy food, i put it away, and then somehow when i want to eat there is nothing to eat. how is this possible??

5:09 pm

Scarlet

The cats did it....

5:09 pm

hurshy

i don't think so.

5:09 pm

Jinxie2300

so, this grid is hard??? it's not me??? i don't really suck for only being able to see 'fart'???

5:09 pm

CyborgScrabbler

fireworks

5:09 pm

hurshy

i think what it is is, there is some idea in my head of the perfect food, and it doesn't really exist, and in comparison to It, other foods all seem unsatisfactory, and then i don't want them.

5:10 pm

grannyg

ty jinxie - I didn't have that one.

5:10 pm

hurshy

is a hardish grid, yes.

5:10 pm

Scarlet

Jinxie, that is one of the mild ones to make it to the grid... Yippee, Cyborg!!

5:10 pm

Scarlet

JInxie, did you find the link to Lickety's Babble Clues for a little help with getting kick-started on word-finding..?

5:11 pm

hurshy

that and i ate all my watermelon at once.

5:11 pm

Jinxie2300

*groans* i said a bad word in front of a granny now!! my day is ruined...

5:11 pm

Scarlet

Yeah, we all have untainted ears... LOL

5:11 pm

hurshy

the problem is less that you said a bad word than that you said a word...

5:11 pm

Jinxie2300

Scarlett> LOL... not really... too much fun following the clues here...

5:12 pm

grannyg

Hey, this granny used to work in an auto dealership and now works in a factory office. You can't say anything I haven't heard before. Please don't let your day be ruined......

5:12 pm

Jinxie2300

hurshy> yeah, i caught that, bad me... never happen again... biting my tongue on the other word there.. cus i am good....

5:13 pm

CyborgScrabbler

jinxie, what other word?

5:13 pm

Scarlet

Even with clues, the most wonderful part of this puzzle is the "Aha" discovery, on your own, of a word that you never heard of and can't wait to explore.. LOL, grannyg... and I'm a rockin' old lady who came of age during the revolutionary 60s!

In 5th grade, we had a spelling bee, and it was the first round, I spelled phone print wrong! I spelled it phonepirnt! It was a mistake, I was just so nervous in front of all the people.

6:30 pm

Scarlet

itsonme, you did a great job, then! knight, I try to do the math with the values on the grid tiles, and back into the words sometimes... or, mistype and find a word that I never heard of...

well, who wants a clue?

7:45 pm

7:46 pm

momof3boys

sure inge..clue away....

7:46 pm

inge

de 21: to hold back

7:46 pm

I never use lickety boxes, just the list with first two letters, then cross off hwhat I have and look for the rest, like all the ra 's that are missing and so forth

7:47 pm

momof3boys

OMG...I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT CU 4/6 WORD!!!

7:48 pm

inge

di 5/12: German wrod for to serve, drop last letter

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

inge

not the first time

7:48 pm

Change of Pace

I agree Mom

7:49 pm

inge

at least I know what that means, most of those raunchy words never made it into my brain

7:49 pm

momof3boys

ok..poll....should it be in there?

7:49 pm

beredon

yes

7:49 pm

stidmama

well mom, penis

7:49 pm

momof3boys

lol inge

7:49 pm

stidmama

and tit etc are allowed...

7:49 pm

hurshy

dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive.

7:49 pm

momof3boys

penis isn't slang or derogatory

7:49 pm

momof3boys

tit...part of an animal...

7:50 pm

momof3boys

just shocked....thought they would stay away from that..i know grab games do

7:50 pm

Change of Pace

swearsaurus has all the words in just about any language that you would not want your young uns' to use

7:50 pm

stidmama

but there are other words, like haole that are allowed too.

7:50 pm

MonkeyMind

remember a few grids back? PUSSIER? lol

7:50 pm

hurshy

this dictionary is not specific to this game.

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

Lori was embarrassed to admit this AM that cu4 was the first word that she found

7:50 pm

momof3boys

i am not offended easily..so i don't care about it from that point of view...just surprised, i guess

7:51 pm

Nef

Hi everybody. I was here earlier, went and used Lickety's list; and now return for help with 19 words let

7:51 pm

hurshy

doc just borrows the dictionary from another webiste.

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

Go go Nef!!

7:51 pm

stidmama

hey Nef

7:51 pm

stidmama

okay, I am grabbing the list brb

7:51 pm

momof3boys

oh well....just figured with little kids playing, they would be more discreet

7:52 pm

Nef

Hi, Stid

7:52 pm

hurshy

who is "they" - the people who made the dictionary, not knowing that doc would use it for babble? doc, who simply borrowed a complete dictionary for technical reasons i'm sure i don't understand?

7:52 pm

Nef

mom, there are plenty of words that the kids will try in any games; this game lets them use them I guess

7:53 pm

hurshy

i AM easily offended by people using such words, but i don't think that it is a problem in this context.

7:53 pm

Nef

yeah, and it's a dictionary that doesn't use a lot of common medical words such as cath and meds, etc.

7:53 pm

lbdawger

thank you all. the class was totally confused about the game and how fast the chat moved! lol

7:54 pm

hurshy

those are abbreviations...

7:54 pm

Munner

I surrender to the last un 6/24. A clue please?

7:54 pm

momof3boys

i guess "they" is whoever it is that puts the actual words in the grid....from a strictly technical point of view..thought only real words would be allowed and not slang....just a thought..

7:54 pm

inge

would you guys believe that in sophomore English class, two years here from Germany, I raised my hand to ask what "Pregnant" meant??

7:54 pm

sweetchips

Hi. I'm new here. What do you mean when you say you opened the list?

7:54 pm

inge

the words you are concerned about dont exist for me yet

7:54 pm

hurshy

nobody puts the actual words in the grid. a computer does it.

7:54 pm

Munner

Hey, Stid. How are you?

That's how the firework graphic came about.

10:00 pm

pam

hi, jac!

10:01 pm

Minveryork

If you are pro,you get fireworks. If you are not pro, you don't. If you're not pro yet, but have a free trial period,you'll still get fireworks. What are you knight?

10:01 pm

Jacula

Hi, Hell. I should be sleeping, but I'm not. I'm off the a weekend house party of net friends from another forum later. They all seem to be tucked up in bed ready for the fray now.

10:01 pm

KnightTime

not pro, just started playing about 3-4 days ago

10:01 pm

KnightTime

work has kept me from devoting too much time to it

10:01 pm

10:02 pm

Jinxie2300

10:02 pm

Jacula

knight - you will get 2 weeks of seeing the stats then and after that... nothing.

10:03 pm

Jacula

Hell - Some on them but not most of them. We've all been talking/meeting up for 5 or 6 years now.

10:03 pm

KnightTime

10:04 pm

pam

*poof

10:04 pm

Jacula

Jinxie - if you set a 5th grader as your marker, with the Enable (we call it the DISable) dictionary in place, you may scar your ego for life!

10:05 pm

gardnerpaints

never mind

10:05 pm

Jacula

10:05 pm

10:06 pm

helenkeller

jacula - so where did you all decide to meet? at a centrally located hiotel?

10:07 pm

Jacula

My daughter made me laugh on morning of 26th March, Hell. She arrived downstairs just after midnight and announced to me that she 'felt OLD!'

10:07 pm

surfergirl

this is hard

10:07 pm

Jacula

'How do you think I feel?' I replied. 'I'm almost 30 years' older than you are.'

10:07 pm

helenkeller

LOL jac!!! oh the horror!

10:07 pm

surfergirl

hahahahahaha

10:08 pm

Nef

sfonan

Thanks, Nef

10:08 pm

Jacula

10:09 pm

Nef

10:09 pm

Jacula

Jacula

Hell - I'll fold you up in my overnight bag, shall I?

10:13 pm

Jacula

Nef

I really don't think the definition suits me, herin! :0

10:15 pm

Jacula

Hell - men prefer curvy ladies, even gay men. Much better to cuddle up to, you see... even though size 6, 8 & 10 (UK sizes) may look sexier.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Well done pbr.

10:19 pm

Dispatch

lol lady!

10:19 pm

Jacula

Sufergirl - my (recovering) anorexic daughter has recently read that the ladies' butt grows to balance out her chest. (Daughter seems to have inherited paternal grandmother's bust.) We had a bit of a laugh earlier about balancing weights on butt and bust to keep the owner upstanding.

10:19 pm

helenkeller

what's the difference between UK & US sizes? anyone know?

10:19 pm

helenkeller

ADHDWordLover

hi guys. i'm back. my daughter in law called me to come over to check her hand.. she just burned it on a hot pan from the oven when the potholder slipped

10:26 pm

Jacula

I was measured by 'A Proper Shop' as being a 40C. Turned out, when I tried various bras on in various shops that I was right, and they were crap, I'm 38D.

10:26 pm

Jacula

I was 34B before children!:-/

10:27 pm

10:28 pm

KnightTime

10:28 pm

herinfernallady

10:29 pm

Jacula

Fern - size zero? Well you could look at photos of Naomi Campbell or Victoria Beckham in recent times. God knows what my 4 an a half stone daughter and her similar patient friends in the clinic were sized at! Size -00 maybe? Size almost dead?

10:29 pm

ADHDWordLover

i've only got 16 words (late start and then had to leave) i hope i can finish

10:29 pm

KnightTime

past tense of consuming a meal

10:30 pm

Jinxie2300

OMG... ty, i feel dumb now... LOL

10:30 pm

ADHDWordLover

i think i'm going for the list now or i'll never finish... unless i don't chat, and for me that's impossible.

10:31 pm

Jacula

ADHD - hope the palm will be okay soon.

10:31 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx jac

10:32 pm

bena

ADHDWordLover is your daugther ok

10:33 pm

ADHDWordLover

she'll be fine. her palm is blistering already and she'll be hurting tonight, but i think she'll be okay. i'll check it in the morning and change the dressing... it's my daughter-in-law.. but she may as well be my daughter. she relies on me more than anyone.

10:34 pm

relarion

Congrats MIN AND DR!

10:34 pm

Jacula

D's in the lower left hand corner? Well they all come from down there! More specific, please?

10:34 pm

helenkeller

"size almost dead" - funny (but not funny), but still funny - i used to work in inpatient psychiatric & anorexics were the worst to get along with - just so hateful & controlling

10:34 pm

Jacula

Hell - that's what 'Annie' does to her victims!

10:35 pm

Jacula

You forgot to say how deceitful she is, Hell!

10:35 pm

ADHDWordLover

my sister is a psych patient (in and out thru the years) and she is 5-4 and weighs less than 90 lbs right now and thinks she's fat. she has numerous health problems that will end up killing her.

10:35 pm

KnightTime

di5/12?

10:35 pm

helenkeller

lol - that too, i feel for you jacs, being your daughter, you must still love her all the while you want to strangle her

10:37 pm

Jacula

Hell - I've never wanted to strangle her! I just want her to be happy.

10:37 pm

ADHDWordLover

ar6 ??

10:37 pm

KnightTime

oliver twist ar**** dodger

10:37 pm

Jinxie2300

past of ar4.4

10:37 pm

ADHDWordLover

i've wanted to strangle my kids sometimes, but they're bigger than me and my hands won't reach around their neck!

10:37 pm

Jinxie2300

oh wait.. which ar6?

10:37 pm

Jacula

di5/12 - decease + consonant + 2nd vowel.

10:38 pm

helenkeller

seriously jacs - she never overly angered you?

10:38 pm

Jinxie2300

omg, i need new eyes

10:38 pm

Jacula

Hell - No, never!

10:38 pm

helenkeller

LOL adhd!

10:38 pm

Jinxie2300

gonna go poke my eyeballs out now...

10:38 pm

KnightTime

ty, jacula

10:39 pm

helenkeller

well, then jacula - you're up for sainthood!

10:39 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx knight.. i didn't see that L

10:39 pm

Jacula

Even when I was climbing out of a window I'm too fat to get through to make sure, by peerring through her bathroom window, that she wasn't succumbing also to 'The Bully' (aka bulimia). No, I never wanted to strangle her.

10:40 pm

KnightTime

di5/14? not the plural of cutting in cubes

10:40 pm

Jacula

Hell - I don't think so! It's just motherhood, I think.

10:41 pm

Jacula

Unconditional love, and all that?

10:41 pm

ADHDWordLover

my sister suffers from an/bul but i've never wanted to strangle her either. it saddens me to see her do it to herself. the only thing she consumes is coffee and cigarettes

10:41 pm

helenkeller

gotcha!

10:41 pm

Jacula

It does exist, Hell.

10:42 pm

ADHDWordLover

i told my kids i was quitting my job. What job mom, you don't have a job. I said: I don't want to be your mother anymore unless you pay me. they laffed.

10:43 pm

Jacula

di5/14 is the plural of di4/6 - you might once have had a floppy one for your computer.

10:43 pm

ADHDWordLover

my sister lives 900 miles away and doesn't speak to me anymore. after i expressed my concern for her.

10:43 pm

Jacula

ADHD - they'll learn... eventually. I promise you that.

10:44 pm

helenkeller

oh, i'm not disagreeing with you at all jac - but i don't think the 2 are mutually exclusive - i think you can completely love someone & still have the ability to get angered by them

10:45 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx jac. but my sister is 51 years old and she won't come around. i've done what i could... the ball's inher court now.

10:45 pm

helenkeller

adhd - that's a shame - there's not much you can do, except not allow yourself to ever feel guilty

10:46 pm

helenkeller

gotta take care of the pups, bbs

10:46 pm

ADHDWordLover

true HK. I felt guilty for a long time, and helpless, but not any more. I know I cannot help her, only she can do that and if she does, I will be supportive.

Hell - I'm sure it is possible to lay the blamem but I haven't done that up t this point. That is not to say the blame hasn't been tried to be lain on ME at points... first off all by hopital social workers, of course! Then by psychiatrists, then by my daughter after listening to the psychiatrists.... blame isn't on me now though,it seems.

10:49 pm

helenkeller

jacs - not at all what i'm saying, getting blamed by someone & being angry at them for doing something stupid are 2 different things - well, of course, you're not to blame, it's not your fault, i really believe a person is genetically predisposed to illnesses, whether physical or psychological

10:49 pm

Jinxie2300

TY Jacula.... the easiest words seem to be the worst...

10:50 pm

helenkeller

holy crap - 300 percocets!!! - that's like 10/day! what the heck does she need the valium for then ???

10:51 pm

ADHDWordLover

she doesn't. she's gone from MD to MD with "stomach pains" and there is nothing wrong with her.

10:51 pm

ADHDWordLover

mental illness is so much harder to deal with than physical illness... it sucks for the patient and their families

10:52 pm

Jacula

Hell & ADHD - you are NOT responsible for your siblings' shortomings. Neither are your parents, in most cases.

10:52 pm

Jinxie2300

10:52 pm

helenkeller

ADHDWordLover

you are right and i came to terms with it years ago... with tons of psychotherapy. i'm in a happy place now.. riddled with painful RA, an inoperable back and neck, but i'm still in a happy place.

10:53 pm

Jacula

Mental and physical illnesses are sometimes interlinked. I truly believe that the 'slimming' illnesses are physically linked in that there are chemical imbalances in body and brain.

10:53 pm

ADHDWordLover

on a lighter note... LET'S BAB-BLE!!!!!

10:55 pm

Jacula

FA 4/7: pretty, nice -- alternatively, the county FA** where your pumpkin might win a ribbon.
