ole y

1:38 am

sprite

I decided to make the only criterium whether or not it is a video that makes me feel good. Can be a smile, or a touch of the heart, or a feeling of strenght... as long as it is good.

1:38 am

GroovyKiwi

no rolin - it only gets worse

1:38 am

rolin

im doomed groovy...lol..

1:38 am

sprite

rolin: no cure, but one helluva support group of co sufferers :)

1:38 am

rolin

hey sprite...what video are you refering to?

1:38 am

GroovyKiwi

whats worse is that you spend all your time reading through the chat and never get the grid finished lol

1:39 am

sprite

the babble expert videos this week... lickety bombarded me to the one responsible this week.

1:39 am

jillibus

nan, I have enough to do right now without designing web pages! Yes, Dreamweaver etc are too expensive. For the library I used 1st Page normal -- pretty primitive, I suspect., and the ancient WS_FTP95LE

1:40 am

rolin

hmm..pls remind me about babble expert...i think i joined...but its slipped from memory

1:40 am

GroovyKiwi

has anyone NOT seen the shadow puppetry going around on utube?

1:41 am

GroovyKiwi

jilli i have a copy of both of those on here which ive used extensively over the years

1:41 am

sprite

it is the special browser lickety designed for babble. It adds easy access to the 2nd letter clues, resourses, the info on mrP and family and much more. But more important even: it adds the Lickety Add: type in one word and it goes to the list. Type in more and they go to the chat.

1:41 am

sprite

jilli, I am glad :)
It was good for a smile, right?

1:41 am

chic

I did Kiwi, very cool indeed.

1:42 am

2:15 am

sprite

just kidding, dc

2:16 am

jillibus

that's great, dc!

2:16 am

sprite

sounds great, dc! Big family?

2:17 am

dcseain

8 of 9 of my grandfather's generation, plus descendents. 6 of that generation attended this year.

2:18 am

sprite

wooooot! That is not big, that is huge. Must have been quite a party!

2:18 am

dcseain

i'm related to a good % of Licking and Muskingum Counties in Ohio. So, yeah, a larg family.

2:18 am

jillibus

wow, dc!

2:18 am

dcseain

Sprite, great-grandma on that side was the 19th of 21 children.

2:19 am

sprite

21 children? 21?????? Your great-great-grandma was a heroin and a warrior, dc!

2:20 am

dcseain

21 over 25 years, though the twins were stillborn, so only 19 raised to adulthood. So, yes, quite the woman she was.

2:20 am

jillibus

those generations were SO prolific! I've been doing some family-tree stuff recently -- 10, 11 kids surviving...and I'm an only child!

2:21 am

dcseain

well, that side of the family are farmers, so large family meant fewer hired hands.

2:21 am

jillibus

sprite -- heroine, not a druggie!

2:21 am

dcseain

mom's side, she and her 2 brothers, largest generation in a century.

2:23 am

sprite

ohhhhhhhh jilli! Dc I am SOOO sorry. I was thinking while typing... and I thought 'heroine' is the dutch spelling of the drug... argh! I mean HEROINE, a true lady hero.

2:23 am

FranMag

Aloha Babblers!

2:23 am

dcseain

i understood, sprite, and took no offence. Heroin was used as a painkiller back then ;)

2:24 am

sprite

thanks dc :) Would never ever want to offend you, nor your family!

2:24 am

dcseain

hola, fran

2:24 am

jillibus

nm, sprite, lol -- we knew what you meant!

2:24 am

FranMag

hi dc! are you talking about the reunion?

2:24 am

dcseain

My uncle joe spent last year restoring a 1948 $ a 1952 tractor, which he brought. The 48 was a model that great-grandpa, his father, had.

2:24 am

dcseain

yes, fran

2:24 am

jillibus

aloha oe fran (is that right? I don't remember)

2:25 am

FranMag

hi jilli! hi sprite!

2:25 am

dcseain

2:26 am

FranMag

i think aloha oe is when someone is leaving jilli.

2:26 am

dcseain

yes, aloha oe is 'return to me'

2:26 am

jillibus

oh. I was afraid of that -- anyway -- happy greetings to you, fran!

2:27 am

FranMag

aloha by itself is just fine jilli. :-)

2:27 am

FranMag

where did sprite go? did i scare her off?

2:27 am

jillibus

we4, I would like it if fran would return to me

2:27 am

dcseain

funny bit while there for me was my 8-yr old nephew running from a cow coming in for the night. He was terrified of her. It made me laugh.

2:27 am

FranMag

:-)

2:28 am

dcseain

of course, beef cattle, so her head comes up to mine, but still, it's a cow.

2:28 am

dart001

any clues for the first la 5,10?

2:28 am

FranMag

i suppose if you haven't been around large animals, it can be pretty frightening.

2:29 am

FranMag

dart, sounds like a man's name, ends in a double vowel.

2:29 am

dcseain

yes, and unlike him, i spent summers on the farm most of my coming up years, of course, it was active back then. Today my aunt leases her land.

2:29 am

FranMag

2:32 am

dart001

2:34 am

FranMag

2:34 am

2:35 am

dcseain

2:36 am

sprite

I am still confused, with both meanings and spellings, lol

2:37 am

dcseain

i'm confused by it too, sprite

2:38 am

FranMag

there's an or5 that's a kind of window. the most common clue given for that or5 is that it sounds like the or6 bird. i wonder how it's going to be clued today?

2:39 am

dcseain

i'd already gotten that one, which mabe me try the bird.

2:39 am

FranMag

i got the bird first. :-)

2:40 am

FranMag

i always try gari, the japanese dipping sauce for tempura.

2:40 am

sprite

I have the window, but not yet the bird, I think

2:41 am

FranMag

or6/18 sprite, sounds similar

2:41 am

dcseain

Sprite, the orange variety of bird is named for Baltimore, and their baseball team is named for the bird.

2:41 am

sprite

I have a plural window with that points total

2:42 am

FranMag

the bird is after that one sprite.

2:42 am

sprite

errrr... of course, dc, thanks... *starts googling on baseball and baltimore and bird*

2:42 am

dcseain

and starts in the other corner

2:43 am

2:58 am

Frances

How are you doing mrp and sprite, are things sorted now?

2:58 am

sprite

babblebook things you mean?

2:58 am

sprite

or videos for babble expert? Or life?

2:59 am

FranMag

if you've figured out life, i'd like to hear about it.

2:59 am

mrpresident

oh sprite, I had to ask, that thingymebob we spoke of the other night, I did a babblecast and brought it up... should I have? or should I remove it?

2:59 am

Frances

sprite

yay sandbox, well done

3:00 am

jillibus

fantastic, sandbox!

3:00 am

mrpresident

cool, will give him something to sort out

3:01 am

sprite

Frances: slowly sorting things out still. Learning to pace myself. Each time I think I learned, it seems my idea of pacing is what other people call rushing. But I am starting to feel better, ever so slightly. I can truly feel this is a learning period in my life, sigh ;)

3:01 am

Frances

Ga9 was my first word....just jumped out at me. But, do you think I can find the ga8.....no!

3:01 am

sprite

thanks for asking and caring, Frances.
How are you doing?

3:02 am

herinfernallady

3:03 am

sprite

aw Frances... quite something different!

3:03 am

FMitch

Doh Im cluing the 9

3:03 am

mrpresident

3:03 am

Frances

Thanks infernal that did it for me.

3:03 am

herinfernallady

That was my first word

3:04 am

sprite

3:04 am

FranMag

3:04 am

dcseain

3:06 am

FranMag

does the ye8 have anything to do with the color?

3:07 am

mrpresident

no fran, more to do with young calves

3:07 am

Frances

No Fran. Think every twelve months.

3:07 am

FranMag

3:08 am

sprite

lol Fran

3:08 am

mrpresident

3:08 am

herinfernallady

3:09 am

FranMag

talk about twisty!

3:09 am

sprite

*hugs mrP*
nothing you do is ever suckage

3:09 am

dcseain

actually, mrp, the clue was helpful for me

3:09 am

mrpresident

sorry guys, I come from farm land :)

3:09 am

lynxxx

me too MRP - got it straight away from yr clue

3:09 am

sprite

worked fine for me

3:09 am

herinfernallady

MR PRes you are not suckage

3:10 am

Frances

Suckage? Great description mrp.

3:10 am

dcseain

and as you missed earlier, i spent teh weekend on a farm, and spent summers on one growing up. :)

3:10 am

sprite

dc is a multitalented farm boy :D

3:10 am

FranMag

mrp, i found it just as your clue went up, otherwise it would have pointed me straight at it. :-)

3:10 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres the only person that is suckage is John HOward

3:11 am

mrpresident

i spent all my school life in the middle of a brothel area where my school was, then the rest of the time on a farm.... I have been educated well :))

3:11 am

dcseain

not quite so, sprite, but more clueful than the average urban-dweller.

3:11 am

sprite

and bush?

3:12 am

herinfernallady

I spent my youth in bogan central

3:12 am

mrpresident

bush and suckage was plentiful

3:12 am

sprite

yeah, I meant you are both knowledgeable on farming and on language and on many other things, dc!

3:13 am

FranMag

all words that end in LY are my phantoms tonight.

3:13 am

dcseain

:">

3:13 am

sprite

Fran, same here! I have wanted to drag that Y in place from the very start.

3:13 am

FranMag

walleye is my other irritating phantom

3:14 am

dcseain

wool is phantom for me

3:14 am

mrpresident

2 lesbians are suing a doctor over having twin girls through IVF, cause they only wanted one child, not two.... how f***king charming for the child

3:14 am

FranMag

great, now all i see are phantoms

3:15 am

sprite

that sounds pretty sick to me, mrP

3:15 am

dcseain

IVF frequently leads to multiple births, what'd they expect.

3:15 am

FranMag

if they are identical the doctor had nothing to do with it.

3:16 am

dcseain

good, point, fran

3:16 am

herinfernallady

Where did you read that Mr Pres

3:16 am

mrpresident

it is on the news right now... chanel 9

3:16 am

sprite

wouldn't "Thank God for blessing us with two childs, where we wanted one so much" be a more appropriate attitude?

3:17 am

dcseain

channel 9? Which network?

3:17 am

jillibus

some people are sickeningly selfish

3:17 am

herinfernallady

Oh im on 9 melbourne. Interesting. That sounds about as skanky as the person that was on today tonight last night with 11 kids no father cause she didnt want them about

3:17 am

mrpresident

they are money hungry bitches

3:17 am

cool girl

please could you tell me how many words there are today please and are there any big ones thankyou

3:18 am

dcseain

189 words, 2x8 1x9

3:18 am

FranMag

189 words cool girl, 2 8 letter ones and 1 9 letter one.

3:18 am

Frances

Surely all children are wanted. If not don't even consider having one.

3:18 am

cool girl

yhankyou

3:18 am

sgams

IMHO Its all the damn lawyers who are so money hungry!

3:19 am

FranMag

and hello cool girl and sgams!

3:19 am

Frances

Perhaps what I should have said is that all children should be wanted.

3:19 am

sprite

kick me off my soapbox when I get irritating...
I soooo resent the whole "I am entitled to this and that" attitude that seems to become normal these days. People think they have a right to be healthy, to get kids on order, to have everything their way. And they get so mad when they meet setbacks.
I truly feel it is perfectly ok to meet setbacks. We are not entitled to everything we want. We are blessed that we usually get what we need, even if we do not recognise it at once.

3:19 am

sgams

Yes Hello

3:19 am

sprite

hi cool and sgams

3:20 am

mrpresident

people are dickheads... bet you anything the 'twins' cost them money with medical expenses cause of 'difficulties'... bitches

3:20 am

jillibus

move over, sprite, while I get up onto that soapbox with you

3:21 am

mrpresident

people just bitch bitch bitch bitch... shut up and be happy with what you have... it could be worse

3:21 am

sprite

place enough for you here, jilli!

3:21 am

sgams

I agree totally, I see that with lots of children and teens now. Trying my darndest to raise my son otherwise.

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes thats when they lose the case and get neutered

3:22 am

mrpresident

they need a friggin brain transplant...

3:22 am

sprite

same here, sgams. When my kids say: Oh why does this have to happen to me! I always say: why not? What makes you different from the rest of the world? Life is not about being without difficulties. Life is about love, sharing and the way you solve your difficulties.

3:23 am

sprite

My basic principle in life: count your blessings. And count them well. Imagine losing one of the things you take for granted. See... you are blessed.

3:24 am

FranMag

that is so true sprite.

3:24 am

jillibus

you are wise, sprite

3:24 am

sgams

Amen Sprite, What gets me is all these parents who ghand their kids EVERYTHING! and then make out to be clueless as to why the grow up spoiled rotten and never listening to them, not working, living at home etc. DUH!

3:24 am

herinfernallady

cant think back ;ater

3:24 am

herinfernallady

later even

3:25 am

sprite

not wise, just not spoiled, I think. I have seen a lot of things taken away from me. And I have seen so many gifts from life and the sheer blessing of the things I do have.

3:25 am

FranMag

later infernal!

3:25 am

herinfernallady

I moved out of home at 20 i have friends that are nearly 30 and still live at home. There is nothing wrong with them other than they are spoiled.

3:25 am

jillibus

bfn herin

3:25 am

sprite

bfn lady

3:25 am

FranMag

if you want to be totally disgusted, watch "my super sweet sixteen"

3:26 am

sprite

I was 16 when I started out on my own. I really want my kids to be older, but I sure hope they will be gone before 30, LOL.

3:26 am

herinfernallady

I have 1 friend thats nearly 40 and he lives at home because he cant live alone due to a brain injury. You are right Sprite.

3:26 am

FranMag

i saw an excerpt on a blog of a girl who got mad at her mother because she gave her the car she wanted on the wrong day.

3:26 am

sprite

ah, but that is something el4, lady. If one has a kid that needs special help, it is a totally different matter.

3:27 am

jillibus

omg, fran!

3:27 am

sprite

what? omg Fran... if she was mine, I would have taken the car away the same second!

3:27 am

FranMag

jilli, the mother was just standing there dumbfounded while daughter was yelling at her telling her she ruined everything.

3:28 am

Frances

Someone can give me a car any day they wish. I won't be angry.......I promise.

3:28 am

FranMag

yes sprite, i would have pulled the plug on the whole party right then and there.

3:28 am

sprite

lol Frances! I bet!

3:28 am

herinfernallady

The thing is this person is 'normal' but hes not.

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Ill have a car if she doesnt want it

3:28 am

jillibus

I'm dumbfounded too

3:29 am

sprite

but then again, our kids would never do that, because they have heard NO all their lives.

3:29 am

sprite

I sincerely believe that saying NO to your kids, every now and again, is one of the best gifts you can give them.

3:29 am

herinfernallady

Sprite thats my fav word NO

3:29 am

herinfernallady

back later

3:29 am

FranMag

i don't think this girl heard NO even once. talk about spoiled.

3:30 am

sgams

I read that somewhere, or was it a teen who was mad because she only got a black BMW instead of the Pink Benz she wanted or something just as disgusting, my son (16) bought his own car with money he earned at 14, its sat in the garage up until last week. Now at 16 he works fulltime, and does homeschool.

3:30 am

sprite

yay lady! When I still teached reiki courses, I'd tell my students: if you cannot say no, your yes is without value.

3:30 am

sprite

you have a son to be proud of, sgams, and your son has a parent that helped him grow out to be that way.

3:32 am

sprite

ok... *climbs off soapbox*
Just had to say my piece, it is something I feel so strongly about.

3:32 am

Frances

It is all in the way you drag your children up. I am fortunate as I have a son I am so proud of but spoiled he is not.

3:32 am

herinfernallady

http://mysupersweet16.com

3:32 am

sgams

Thanks Sprite I am VERY proud of him. He is definitely heading in the right direction.

3:33 am

herinfernallady

That was the website i just found about that topic

3:33 am

herinfernallady

Sgams well done

3:34 am

jillibus

looks as if there are some very promising youngsters on the way up, thanks to you, great parents all

3:34 am

FranMag

i read somewhere that if children are just given things without earning them or even just expressing a desire to have them, they become numb to the pleasure of wanting something and the satisfaction of getting it.

3:34 am

sprite

I know for sure your son will be a happier man than one moir spoiled. He already learned it is up to him to enjoy life.

3:34 am

sprite

I think that is true, Fran. I really do.

3:34 am

mrpresident

now get this... a 3 year old girl was dumped at a train station by her father, her mother and sibling have disappeared weeks earlier (history of domestic violence)... first wife and daughter 'missing' since 2003... I wanna puke.... not watching the news again

3:34 am

my daughter who is nearly 8 wanted a bigger bike a year ago and she had to save up her pocket money to help buy it.she now has horseriding lessons and has to pay for 2 a month with pocket money,which she has to do jobs for,then she'll learn the value of money as she grows up.

3:36 am

And "they" said it was next to impossible---I beg to differ.

Better sized grid today Haz, you'll enjoy it.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, a bit more to do than yesterday. It's just a pity the l and the y couldn't get on better, they'd open up a whole bunch of new opportunities.

3:48 am

lol Haz, I said the same thing and so did Fran. Frustrating isn't it!

Back in a bit.

4:40 am

helenary

hello all. I am stuck with the la5/10, the second la word.

4:40 am

dcseain

helen, you have the bright light? I've not looked at the list.

4:41 am

helenary

yes i do dc

4:43 am

lynxxx

Hi Helen - try la + the number th***

4:45 am

lynxxx

4:47 am

helenary

4:50 am

lynxxx

got me stumped!

4:50 am

nursegladys

la5/10 ha*** are bigger than rabbits

4:50 am

Haz1558

The la plus Mr Onassis is the one - it can't be anything else.

4:50 am

dcseain

4:50 am

helenary

4:50 am

lynxxx

Hi Nurse Gladys

4:51 am

nursegladys

hi lynxxx

4:51 am

Haz1558

If it's the first la5/10 and the second la word, that is.

4:52 am

helenary

Haz its the first la5/10 word

4:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, la5/10 - la plus a reworking of what we breathe (or the first three letters of Mr Onassis)

4:53 am

helenary

it comes up from the bottom la

4:53 am

dcseain

and looks rather finnish

4:54 am

dcseain

ah, now i got the between the beery ones comment.

4:54 am

4:55 am

helenary

thanks DC and thanks Haz, as per usual

4:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, helenary. It doesn't look like a very likely word.

4:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, dc.

4:56 am

helenary

also its not in the atoz

4:57 am

lynxxx

glad you got it Helen - I was getting a bit worried with my sanity

4:57 am

helenary

did you get it Lynxxx??

4:57 am

Haz1558

Morewords features it although I had got it from lynxxx.

4:57 am

helenary

ok you all got it.

4:58 am

helenary

what is Morewords please Haz?

4:59 am

Haz1558

It's another online word resource. www.morewords.com. You type in the letters you know, leave dashes for the rest and it gives you a list of the words.

4:59 am

helenary

great. Thankyou.

5:00 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - it's my favourite one although it does sometimes feature words that enable won't accept.

5:03 am

helenary

just checked it out. It will do the trick when i am very stuck.

5:04 am

Haz1558

It's very useful.

5:09 am

NonoNanette

Haz it's good to see you back..... puter all fixed i hope.

5:20 am

Haz1558

Hello Nono - yes, back online and very relieved!

5:20 am

dcseain

morning, nanette

5:39 am

mrpresident

hello again !!

5:39 am

mrpresident

hi haz! nice to have you back!

5:39 am

Haz1558

Hello mrpresident!

5:40 am

NonoNanette

hi MrP!!

5:40 am

Haz1558

Thanks, mrpresident, it's nice to be back. I kept wondering what I was missing.

5:40 am

mrpresident

hi nono :)

5:41 am

mrpresident

well I know babble missed you!

5:42 am

Haz1558

That's nice to know. How are you doing?

5:43 am

mrpresident

am going well... travelling the road of recovery as usual. only 1-4 months to go, allegedly

5:43 am

Haz1558

I see you're hedging your bets with the time frame. Are medics like builders? Happy with approximations?

5:44 am

mrpresident

yep, and they always have something else to add after 6 months

5:45 am

Haz1558

It sounds familiar.

5:46 am

mrpresident

I am waiting patiently for the 4th oct... just to hear that I have to have something tweeked... oh well

5:47 am

Haz1558

Tweaking is probably an understatement!

5:48 am

mrpresident

LOL, let's see what happens... I was told I would be out of action for a couple of weeks, that turned into a few months... I hope xmas 2008 is good for me :))

5:49 am

Haz1558

I hope so. Have you crossed Christmas 2007 out of the way already? It must be difficult to remain positive but you've retained your sense of humour, at least.

5:51 am

mrpresident

if the family ever think for a second I am cooperating this year... they are sadly mistaken. I am staying in bed!! not always positive I am afraid

5:52 am

mrpresident

but, my kids are going to have a blast!! they are my number 1 priority :)

5:52 am

Haz1558

You couldn't be positive the whole time - and as for Christmas, don't stay in bed. Get up. get glamorous, and let others dance attendance.

5:54 am

mrpresident

yes haz, we will have our regular dance party! volume at very very loud and jumping off the lounges! it is fun and the kids remember it well

5:54 am

Haz1558

You should capture it on video for us!

5:55 am

mrpresident

oh that would be fun! i will do that!

5:55 am

Haz1558

And if it gets too risque, put an adults only warning at the start!!

5:56 am

dcseain

off to home, back in a bit. Ciao, all.

5:56 am

Haz1558

Bye dc - see you later.

5:56 am

mrpresident

bye dcs :)

5:57 am

mrpresident

no matter what warning I put, some people just don't pay attention I am afraid

5:57 am

mrpresident

my read a book video got flak from some... I did warn them!!

5:58 am

Haz1558

I didn't watch the one you labelled as adults only - I took the warning seriously.

5:58 am

mrpresident

I think that if I put a warning up, then don't watch it if you want beautiful and fun!

5:59 am

mrpresident

thanks haz... you took it seriously as I hoped people would

5:59 am

Haz1558

You can please some of the people some of the time.

6:00 am

Haz1558

It's just that I know that I am easily offended so why put myself through something that might annoy me?

6:00 am

mrpresident

well, your intelligence prevails

6:01 am

Haz1558

Thank you, mrpresident!

6:02 am

Haz1558

Talking of intelligence prevailing, I do wish I had some sort of listening device to hear what goes on when FMitch and Atlante get together for coffee.

6:02 am

mrpresident

oh!! tell me more!!

6:03 am

Haz1558

That's the thing - I don't know anything yet, just that they are meeting up for coffee and a chat. I'm hoping for details later.

6:03 am

mrpresident

is this their first meeting?

6:04 am

Haz1558

No, they had met up a few months ago so they know what they look like. It would have been fun for them to have met for the first time wearing cat of glory badges or something.

6:04 am

mrpresident

hahahaha!! too much fun!

6:05 am

Merk

6:28 am

carleekat

6:28 am

Haz1558

Merk

It's a variant spelling, isn't it?

6:28 am

carleekat

no... I cannot...and I won't be around much in the months to come.

6:29 am

Haz1558

It's how I would spell it, Merk.

6:29 am

That sounds mysterious, carlee. I'll let her know if/when I see her.

9:48 am

Ogdens Nut

Yeah Haz, "summer" is now officially over

9:48 am

Haz1558

Not that we ever saw much of it. But if this keeps up, there's going to be a rapid adoption of winter woolies.

9:48 am

FMitch

NO!!! Don't say that Zen - go wash your mouth out for blaspheming so *sobs*

I found the Lake District enjoyment level being very dependent on the weather - we had one bad day (Sunday) when it was wet and cloudy all day and all those lovely mountains and views became invisible!

9:54 am

Haz1558

Was it very crowded or is the holiday season mostly over?

9:56 am

Zen - the earth mothers in babble will have apoplexy at the thought of 'brats' - not keen on children?

10:02 am

FMitch

Def: something that is used as a medium of exchange; money.

10:02 am

Though when the weather is good in the Lakes as it was on Saturday, it was really magnificent. Kendal's a nice place too...

asked what a banana was? wow.

10:10 am

Ogdens Nut

Well absolutely Haz, but if one says anything to the parents, one is liable to induce a severe case of apoplexy!

10:10 am

rolin

fruit is an alian concept to some chn im finding...gets me very cross with parents

10:10 am

Haz1558

I would say a visit to A and E would be on the cards.

10:10 am

featherbee

anyway, nicholas gave me a true smile and coos this morning!

10:11 am

Haz1558

See, he'll know what a banana is from an early age, I can tell.

10:11 am

featherbee

daniel LOVES fruit, of every kind. we actually had to start limiting his bananas and apples as they were starting to give him problems he was eating so much. going raspberry picking this summer was a blast for him.

10:11 am

FMitch

same goes for veges too rolin, tell them they actually grow in the ground and they think you are lying.

10:11 am

grammaterri1

I love the smell of babies on the nape of the neck, I say that is what God smells like ( :

10:11 am

Ogdens Nut

Ooops, new mother on-line, you weren't supposed to see all that, featherbee!

10:12 am

10:16 am

Haz1558

I know how old he is .... if I can remember it, so can he.

10:16 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh dear, how did i miss that; how embarrassing.......

10:17 am

Haz1558

Engelbert was infinitely more embarrassing. Those sideburns.

10:18 am

Ogdens Nut

i can't argue with that

10:18 am

greenbayladi

ga 8 please

10:19 am

rolin

green...fuel plus the end of a huge light fitting

10:19 am

Haz1558

10:20 am

wrigley should be a word!

10:21 am

Sandieangel

Braeburns are my favourite, although at the mo am eating apples from Mums tree.

10:23 am

Big posh hotel? Do you mean you don't have crystal ones hanging in every room,rolin?

10:23 am

rolin

*whisper*....one doesnt like to sound like one is bragging haz

10:24 am

Haz1558

ag6/24 - incorporates and describes the effect of headlights.

10:24 am

Haz1558

Or indeed the effect of rolin's light fittings.

10:24 am

Haz1558

You've got the common touch, rolin.

10:24 am

flosey

thanks Haz, will have to work on that

10:25 am

rolin

and yet most people just think of me as common...lol

10:25 am

Ogdens Nut

Sounds good Haz, where do you get them? would like to have some with a bit of flavour, not some tasteless defrosted stuff sent from the far corner of the world

10:25 am

10:26 am

FMitch

Happy hunting Sandie

10:26 am

Haz1558

That's the problem, you can't get them. I remember having them years ago from an apple farm in Armagh, so they may be available in a local farmer's market.

10:28 am

Ogdens Nut

I vote we all harass our local supermarket managers to insist they stock good BRITISH apples.....

10:32 am

Our neighbours , Zimbabwe - people are starving and our Woolworths (poshish food store) sells the most beautiful veg grown in Zimbabwe - cant figure that out

10:33 am

rolin

but downt you think seasonality adds to life... to wait for the return of stone fruit in the summer created such expectation...but maybe i have past-coloured glasses on...we had our own fruit trees

10:34 am

rolin

it goes back to this pervasive..if you want something you should have it immediately... attitude

10:35 am

Haz1558

I know that there is a huge difference in the taste of home-grown strawberries in season and the lack of taste in out of season imports. I assume the same applies for other things.

10:35 am

Ogdens Nut

I can figure that out in one word, ursh - Mugabe

10:35 am

rolin

i still have the memory of a just picked sun warmed apricot ...*sigh*

10:35 am

FMitch

The anticipation of the first strawberries of summer... ahh. :)

10:35 am

ursh

Zenmed - I cant figure why he is still alive!!!

10:36 am

rolin

10:36 am

Haz1558

Should somebody hint at weapons of mass destruction to see if any action is taken by the 'superpowers'.

10:37 am

Ogdens Nut

Mbeki seems to be keeping him alive!

10:37 am

Haz1558

Then again, maybe better not.

10:37 am

rolin

10:38 am

Haz1558

10:38 am

Ogdens Nut

M'beki is nearly as bad as Mugabe, it seems, ursh

10:39 am

FMitch

Uh oh time to stock up the bunker again. Puts a case of cooking sherry in, incase Haz needs some.

10:39 am

granadan

10:40 am

Ogdens Nut

"speaking as a klutz, who knows precious little about it".........

10:40 am

Haz1558

10:46 am

Ogdens Nut

Do you really want to get me going?

10:47 am

Haz1558

There's no answer to that.

10:48 am

Haz1558

(If it saves the manager of M and S from a berating, go right ahead)

10:50 am

FMitch

Zen, since when have you been backwards in coming forward?

10:50 am

Ogdens Nut

No, it will have to wait till next time; gotta go give the M & S manager(ess) a quare good berating - bye for now....

10:51 am

Haz1558

Bye Zen. Just don't end up in the cells on public order charges.

montreal13

el7 is plural of poem of sort delivered at funerals...

7:39 pm

pam

glad someone did, scrabs.

7:39 pm

herinfernallady

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

7:39 pm

hurshy

i love the star trek geeks! :) :)

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

whereupon a midnight dreary, and fourscore and ten years

7:39 pm

Vicuna

Open here I flung the shutter, when with many a flirt and flutter

7:40 pm

Vicuna

In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore

7:40 pm

evanonut

i remember my parady - once upon a school day dreary, while i studied weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten bore.

7:40 pm

pam

and fog crawls in....

7:40 pm

Vicuna

Not the least obeisance made he
Not and instant stopped or stayed he

7:40 pm

herinfernallady

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

And then the raven flew away and ate the roadkill, the end.

7:40 pm

Vicuna

But with mien of lord or lady
perched above my chamber door

7:40 pm

tragicstud

i can't make it 7 letters

7:40 pm

Vicuna

Oops, we're leap-frogging verses here.

7:41 pm
