ta6/18 please
2:52 am
sprite
I think I have one on my arm
2:53 am
sprite
actually I am happy it is finally a word for once, and not a phantom, lol. I see this word in many grids and it is never all there.
2:54 am
Andree
thx sprite
2:57 am
MVA
my daughter has said she wants a ta 6/18!
2:57 am
sprite
oo4 :)
And how old is she?
2:58 am
sprite
ai! That is not easy then... I think you'd rather have she waited a few more years. But will she?
2:59 am
MVA
she knows her own mind and can be stubborn!!
3:00 am
Andree
at 18, what can you do?
3:00 am
sprite
I bet! I really hope she will wait a little longer... and if she does not, she will pick one small and truly HER, and not some adolescent thing.
3:01 am
MVA
she has been teasing me and looking on the computer for pictures with huge ta7/28!!!
3:01 am
MVA
well i hope she's teasing!!
3:02 am
sprite
omg, LOL, I hope so too! Well, you can tell her from me, if it is really the ta6 she wants, it will be the same one over a few years and nothing is lost with waiting.
3:02 am
Andree
when i was nursing many moons ago, we had a plastic surgery unit where 1/2 the patients were young kids trying to get tattoos removed from hands and obvious places to get a job, i think things have moved on since but she should get a nice subtle butterfly or simmilar on ankle or shoulder etc
3:03 am
MVA
at 18 i can do nothing because she is an adult, i can't say NO can i?
3:03 am
Atalante
friends tattooist's advice: print out pic that she wants, stick it to bathroom mirror. if she can look at it every day for a year and still want it, then go ahead
3:03 am
Andree
not somewhere she cannot hide it from a prospective employer
3:03 am
sprite
I know a daughter of a friend of mine, who was so totally certain she wanted a ta6 that her mother allowed it at 14. But I must add that she had picked a very subtle small rosebud, and she wanted it on her shoulderblade.
3:04 am
MVA
good idea ata!
3:04 am
Andree
good advice ata
3:04 am
sprite
very good advice!
3:04 am
Andree
shoulder blade is good
3:04 am
sprite
no, you cannot tell her no, but you can talk :)
And hope she will take your words with her when she decides.
3:05 am
Atalante
makes you realise that it'll be there for ever! and that you can't get sick of it
3:05 am
sprite
the girl never ever regretted it, nor did my friend for allowing it. But it is a real exception.
3:05 am
MVA
going to make breakfast now, thanks for the advice, bbl .... and we do talk sprite which is good
3:06 am
sprite
I was over 30 when I got my first one. And only one so far, although my beautiful friend Ata has designed the next one, which is almost ready... and will be continued once I have refound myself. :D
3:06 am
Atalante
:):):):)
3:06 am
sprite
*hugs MVA*
You are a great mum and she knows it... I bet your advice has more weight than you realise ;)
3:06 am
MVA
i've always wanted a ta6/18 but my husband hates them!!
3:07 am
sprite
oh, that is a shame! They can be so beautiful!
3:07 am
sprite
but I admit I have seen more ugly ones than beauties :D
3:07 am
Atalante
well thats good cos your daughter will know you aren't anti them, just making sure she does it right
3:08 am
MVA
she will, she looks at things in detail then decides... off now, bye all
3:08 am
sprite
it is a very important choice... there is no way to get rid of it ever again. Not even with laser or plastic surgery... there will always be something left that reminds you of it.
3:11 am
sprite
owwww I found my last P and it is edible and I am proud I found it myself :D
That is another word I never seem to sp4.
3:12 am
Atalante
hmmm! think thats the P i'm missing!
3:13 am
sprite
it might be one of those ocean words for you as well, Ata... those words that are so obvious and yet they always seem to hide from our view :D
3:13 am
Atalante
I think so!
3:14 am
sprite
will not clue it for you unless you ask me to :D
3:14 am
sprite

hi Frances!
3:49 am
Frances
Hello Fran. I was so sorry to hear about your sister. Thought of you often. How are you?
3:49 am
FranMag
i'm doing fine Frances. :-) she really is in a better place, i don't have to worry about her anymore.
3:51 am
Frances
I know. We always worry about those far away. Did I also hear that there was an earthquake in or near Guam?
3:52 am
FranMag
it must not have been a big one, Guam has earthquakes daily. i felt one that had to be about 4.0 on my first day back there.
3:53 am
FranMag
oh wait, i did hear about that one. it happened while my sister and i were driving around so we didn't feel it.
3:53 am
FranMag
like i said, they are a daily occurence and people there just take them in stride.
3:53 am
Frances
I thought I heard that it was about 7.4
3:54 am
FranMag
wow, that's pretty big, the center must have been pretty far.
3:55 am
FranMag
i was in Guam for the 8.1, now that was scary.
3:56 am
Frances
Never been in an earthquake. Was caught in a typhoon in Hong Kong years ago. My son who was about seven at the time was horizontal hanging onto a flagpole on the roof of the hotel (swimming pool). Very scary!
3:57 am
FranMag
wow! that would have been terrifying! at his age though he probably thought it was a little fun too?
3:58 am
FranMag
i can't believe they didn't get you all inside before the storm hit!
3:58 am
Frances
Best talking point for months for him.
3:59 am
FranMag
i'm sure!
3:59 am
Frances
We were a bit surprised at how quickly it hit and yes, it was very frightening.
4:01 am
FranMag
these days the weather models are so accurate, i would be surprised if that kind of thing happened anymore...at least for typhoons.
4:01 am
seano216k

No, it was me that saw the ship, Nut, and I didn't see the name as we weren't that close. We were also trying to discretely skinny-dip and avoid arrest.
6:52 am
evanonut
SCRABS! I'm shocked (and amused)

As I was walking into the water (shallow for 100 ft or so) a helicopter took off from Erie and I thought it was either Eyewitness News coming to film me, or the police coming to arrest me.

Yep. Prob'ally on a day I work LOL
7:51 am

I'm gonna need to watch a while. Brand new to me.
7:52 am

It'll give me more time to spend in the kitchen. We're having our turkey today.
7:52 am

we are being lulled to sleep and laziness with all these small ones..... a big one will hurt LOL
7:52 am
NonoNanette
oh yummy.... right tomorrow is your Thanksgiving isnt it
7:53 am
NonoNanette
welcome brzn
7:53 am
LoriP
You got that right nono. A big grid will sneak up on us. Yes, tomorrow is Thanksgiving here.
7:53 am

G'd morning brzn. Lots of resources on the bottom left hand corner. It's a very addictive word game.....
7:53 am
NonoNanette
Its a big tourist weekend for us here.... all the canadians come down to see our fall foiliage
7:54 am
NonoNanette
only thing is the fall colors have really only just started this year
7:55 am
LoriP
It is the same here Nono, everything is later this year. Our leaves have barely started
7:56 am
NonoNanette
we havent even had a frost yet and thats unusual
7:57 am
LoriP
We've had 2 frosts. Here it is a week of October gone already.
7:57 am

I know.... my tomatos are still going strong
7:58 am

8:00 am
NonoNanette
80's again mid week
8:04 am
LoriP
Really, this whole global warming thing is fine with me. I don't think it's that so much as calendar shift LOL this year is following the path like last year. January is historically a brutal month here, that happened in February instead. I find everything is a month late
8:06 am
NonoNanette
yes we never had snow last year til late January but got hit with a brutal storm in February
8:06 am
NonoNanette
even that was all melted in nearly a week
8:08 am
LoriP
January is our traditional school cancellation month. January, 1 day off. February 10. each one totally correct. Even if they had school I would not have sent the kids. It was a brutal weather month, as I say 1 month behind.
8:09 am

I love those Bears, Lor... but the Cubbies took me to the altar and left before the ceremony! *Sob*... Not the year for my guys... the Mets died, so it will have to be...........OHMIGOSH, T&T, you are on the way!! :-)
8:15 am
NonoNanette
woohooo t&t
8:16 am
toadandtoadette
sorry 1/3 effaced.. not half
8:16 am
LoriP
That's a good start t&t. :-)
8:16 am
toadandtoadette
have been able to talk to husband 2 times already. he's suppose to try to call again tonight if he can
8:16 am
LoriP
Yah Scarlet, the Cubbies are back on golf mode.....
8:17 am
Scarlet
And crying all winter long... so are the cursed Phillies... they couldn't take ONE game? Bah!
8:17 am
NonoNanette
oh good you have been in contact with him.... Is your mom there now?
8:17 am
toadandtoadette
why isn't poos a word?
8:17 am
LoriP
#3 is now a confirmed Bears fan. He can't wait for the game.
8:17 am
Scarlet
'Cause the little tadpole won't let it be!
8:17 am
toadandtoadette
lol
8:18 am
Scarlet
I am a Kansas City Chief's fan, Lor, but have always loved the Bears... Walter Payton is, and will always be, my favorite player of all time!
8:18 am
LoriP
I tried poos. As a Mom of 4, I fully believe it to be a word!
8:19 am
toadandtoadette
No they will be here in a week, Nono
8:19 am
LoriP
Well, #3 is in for a lifetime of pain and suffering until the Bears get a QB. Also he's in a house full of Pats fans. LOL
8:20 am
lizmac
Got my video...It's seriously aaaaaahhhh.
8:20 am
Scarlet
You can't help but admire New England, Lor... they always find a way to win, and Brady is still young, yet. As for the Bears, Sexy Rexy Gross-MAN really bit!
8:20 am
toadandtoadette
gj liz
8:21 am
NonoNanette
Bears only slightly better than my team..... The Bills
8:21 am
NonoNanette
showed signs of hope last week with new QB
8:22 am
LoriP
Scarlet, a good friend of ours calls him Wrecks Grossman, and with good reason.
8:22 am
Scarlet
OH, Nono... you and Tim Russert still love their guys...
8:22 am
Scarlet
Good play, Lor... LOL... Marv Levy is now the elder statesman...
8:23 am
LoriP
Brady is the man. The guy is cool as a cuke, with guys behind him allowing him to make things happen. The Pats are a cohesive group. A real team.
8:23 am
Scarlet
AND Randy Moss don't hurt a bit, do he? LOL
8:24 am
NonoNanette
was tough thru the years of bringing up my boys... neiter of them like the Bills..... one is a Steeler guy and the other a Cowboy
8:24 am
toadandtoadette
wahoo my names in the grid for the 3rd time in a row
8:24 am
NonoNanette
we are a very diverse household LOL
8:25 am
NonoNanette
yep noticed that right off the bat t&t
8:25 am
LoriP
I've noticed in the post game stuff, Brady always spreads credit. that is so important. he always says something like "so and so did X, to allow Y to happen".
8:25 am
Scarlet
We lived in Pennsylvania for years, and were bombarded with the &%#@( Eagles.... I never felt any passion for them... but, the Steelers, on the other hand, gave us some great years. I am surrounded with 'Boy's fans... I hated what they did to Tom Landry, and will never forgive them for that.
8:25 am
LoriP
Nono, must be interesting kerfuffles in your house from time to time.....
8:26 am
NonoNanette
for sure Lori
8:26 am
NonoNanette
am sooooo jealous my son is going to the Bills, Cowboys game tomorrow night
8:27 am
NonoNanette
would you believe its the Steeler fan thats going LOL
8:28 am

Yerchhhh... and I thought there was justice in this universe! Lucky person!
8:29 am
toadandtoadette
NFL trivia, who is the most popular team, and who is the least popular team... currently that is
8:29 am
Scarlet
Re: Brady, Lori... that's a true leader, with what Brady does... we need more of that, and in spite of the video scandal, I think Belichek is one of the greatest coaches out there.
8:30 am
LoriP
Miami Dolphins receive major 12 thumbs down boos in this house.....
8:30 am
Scarlet
T&T, the Cowboys continue to beat their own drum every year, but now, since the Super Bowl ring, it's probably the Indianapolis Colts... I suffer from extreme Peyton Manning fatigue...
8:30 am
toadandtoadette
nope your right Scarlet, its the cowboys as #1
8:31 am
LoriP
I agree Scarlet. Belichek builds teams, in the true team sense. The video thing, all teams do it, just liek stealing signals in baseball. Pats got caught
8:31 am
Scarlet
The Dolphins are hideous, and I really had a problem with Nick Saban... he's gone now to Alabama for college coaching!
8:31 am
NonoNanette
Cowboys have been toted as Americas Team for like forever
8:32 am
dan2bit
ick Cowboys
8:32 am
NonoNanette
what is the least favorite team t&t?
8:32 am
LoriP
Gads. I am so sick of peyton Manning and his simpering, sniveling ways I could gag. Cowboys, the NY Yankees of football, everybody loves to hate 'em....
8:32 am

8:52 am
craggus

Haz1558
Hello FMitch - keeping any better?
2:25 pm
Mom

2:25 pm
Dorens

It wouldn't be babble if there weren't some ridiculous words!
2:25 pm
Dorens

Mom

2:26 pm
Dorens
ty chic... then i am missing a 5 letter s with 12 points. will find it
2:26 pm
Haz1558
Yes, if the throats still as sore as you say, antiobitics might be the answer.
2:27 pm
Dorens
fireworks. thanks all
2:27 pm
Mom
congrats Dorens
2:27 pm
Shawnee
I recommend tequila with lemon for a sore throat.
2:27 pm

2:27 pm

Yay! Dorens!

Haz1558
Good gracious! As if you ever say more than is necessary.
2:28 pm
chic
say has anyone read that miserable book yet?
2:29 pm
FMitch
Its more like tonsillitus, but Have had many wonderful and boozy suggestions from Babblers thanks Shawnee
2:29 pm
Dorens
hahaha chic... no, not yet meaning of everything or whatever it's called? it still hasn't arrived... ordered online
2:29 pm
Dorens
rum and honey tastes good, is soothing, but ultimately, if you need antibiotics, you need antibiotics, fmitch. as you know
2:30 pm
chic
I can't get past Chapt 2; I keep falling asleep reading it.....
2:30 pm
Haz1558
I can sympathise, FMitch - I used to get strep throats and they're not pleasant company. I couldn't believe how many times I swallow - it's only when it's painful that you realise!
2:30 pm
Dorens
not surprised.... thought it might be that kind of book.. I like those books for when I can't sleep
2:30 pm
Haz1558
Which miserable book are you recommending(?), chic?
2:31 pm
chic
the next book should be good. The author was on The Dog Whisperer last week (marley and Me)
2:31 pm
Dorens
only way i got over all my miserable strep throats was to lose my tonsils
2:31 pm
Haz1558
Marley and Me - about the dog?
2:31 pm
chic
The Meaning of Everything; we're supposed to be reading it for the babble book club for Oct.
2:32 pm
chic
yes the dog one...
2:33 pm
Haz1558
Dog ones rarely have happy endings, they're always written after the dog is dead so you can't help being miserable the whole way through;.
2:33 pm
Dorens
i read a thousand splendid suns for my "other" book club this month... great book
2:33 pm
chic
is that amy Tan dorens?
2:33 pm
Mom
6 left, but must go start supper. Take care everyone and I wish you all fireworks. Bye for now
2:33 pm
Dorens
no khaled hosseini (i think?) ... author of the kite runner
2:34 pm
Dorens
have a great dinner mom
2:34 pm
Mom
thank you Dorens. All the family will be here :)
2:34 pm
chic
I know Haz; that's why I can't bring myself to watch "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" because I already read the book.
2:34 pm
Dorens
ah, then i'm sure it will be a great dinner
2:35 pm
Mom
it will be wonderful.
2:35 pm
Haz1558
You never know, chic. Sometimes film makers take such liberties with the book they may have written a happy ending!
2:36 pm
chic
Indian Wars generally don't come out too well; especially for the Indians....
2:37 pm
Dorens
chic does have a point there
2:37 pm
Haz1558
That's true.
2:38 pm
chic
Ok got to go make lunch; it's Hot tuna melts today...
2:38 pm

2:45 pm
Haz1558
Can I mention from the penalty box that I DID manage to avoid the oo4/5 and the po4/8 which usually adorn the log!
2:45 pm
FMitch
You may mention that, but you still have to stay in there for another 2 mins.
2:46 pm
Haz1558
You're a hard woman.
2:46 pm
FMitch
I had a hard task mistress Mrs Haz
2:46 pm
Dorens
ok. i'm off now... good luck haz, i'm sure she'll let you out soon
2:47 pm
Haz1558
I'll take that as a compliment, FMitch.
2:47 pm
Haz1558
Thank you Dorens, I need all the support I can get.
2:47 pm
FMitch
*grin* Bye Dorens
2:49 pm
kathw
Hi, just got fireworks, but i can never see the video you all talk about. What do I have to do?
2:49 pm
FMitch
Haz come on out it's lonely out here, everyone has gone.
2:50 pm
FMitch
kath, it's part of licketys babble expert, you have to email him if you want it.
2:50 pm
Haz1558
Okay, and I'll try to be good from now on.
2:51 pm
kathw
Oh OK thanks
2:53 pm
FMitch
Back in a min or two, need another hot drink.
2:53 pm
Haz1558
I have to confess that I rarely watch the video!
2:54 pm
FMitch
I still haven't got expert
2:55 pm
Haz1558
It's good, FMitch, in that you can use as much or as little of it as you want. I would use the word ad***able.
2:55 pm
Nef
back again. I wandered off to hem some jeans so I could finally get dressed (it's ONLY 3 PM!) Ispent yesterday installing a "peel and stick" vinyl floor for an elderly relative and I HURT today! (don't you all feel bad for me?) ;)
2:57 pm
joanne0334
well i dfo
2:57 pm
joanne0334
do too
2:57 pm
Haz1558
Just realising it's a good job I didn't announce WHAT fo4 I was having earlier on.
2:57 pm
joanne0334
the good deed
2:57 pm
Haz1558
I feel bad for anyone who has to hem jeans.
2:58 pm
joanne0334
lol haz bravo for nef all round
2:59 pm
Nef
I', 5'5" and if I get petite jeans they are too short, but regulars are too long! I can't figure out how tall a nrmal height is supposed to be anymore!
2:59 pm
FMitch
As womens jeans/trousers are (90%) of the time too short for me (34" leg), hemming is not a problem.
2:59 pm
joanne0334
nothing is normal anymore
3:00 pm
Nef
34" leg isn't long enough? WOW! How tall are you?
3:00 pm
joanne0334
hip huggers drive me nuts
3:00 pm
joanne0334
and stretch grrrr
3:00 pm
FMitch
LOL got 34" leg, most womens stuff ends and 30£ or there abouts.
3:01 pm
FMitch
I buy guys jeans, get a good fit and great length.
3:02 pm
kathw
I'm a 34'' leg too, in flat shoes. Some makes do seem to be getting longer
3:02 pm
Nef
me too, joanne; and at my age they don't look good at all! Depending on the brand, sometimes I wear petite dress slacks and sometimes I wear regulars. But I end up hemming nearly every pair of jeans I buy.
3:02 pm
Haz1558
I could make a patchwork quilt from the material left over from stuff I've had to get shortened. Let's rephrase that - someone could make a quilt....
3:03 pm
MudPlugger
Any clues for the da5,12 words? Getting near the end...
3:03 pm
FMitch
Oh dear Haz, what would we do without you :)
3:03 pm
kathw
M&S have just started a tall section online, I have just sent for a pair of trousers, so we shall see....
3:03 pm
Haz1558
da5/12 - one is a plural of da4/5, the other adds an extra consonant to the da4/5
3:03 pm
Nef
LOL! Haz! I was just about ready to say that the Brits are growing taller these days til you chimed in!
3:04 pm
Haz1558
Some Brits may be getting taller, but not this wee woman.
3:04 pm
FMitch
My punctuation was wrong there.
kate do let me know how you get on, what size are you if you don't mind me asking?
3:05 pm
MudPlugger
Thanks Haz - got the plural - is the consonant on the same da4?
3:05 pm
Brookie
Hi everyone! Just 1 word needed before fireworks... po6,21, the first one, please?
3:06 pm
Haz1558
Yes, it is Mudplugger.
3:06 pm
Haz1558
po6/21 - not how Dan Quayle spells it
3:06 pm
FMitch
Brookie, without the po6 where would french fries be?
3:06 pm
Brookie
Thanks FM, great clue! FIREWORKS!
3:07 pm
Haz1558
Well done Brookie!
3:07 pm
Brookie
Thanks Haz!
3:07 pm
Brookie
Haz, your clue has lots of wit!
3:08 pm
Haz1558
Thank you, Brookie!
3:08 pm
FMitch
Congrats Brookie
3:08 pm
Brookie
Everyone is so helpful every day I come to babble, thanks for being such a nice group.
3:09 pm
Haz1558
It's nice to have you join us, Brookie!
3:09 pm
MudPlugger
Haz, still can't see the extra consonant. arrgh. And how's the da6?
3:10 pm
Haz1558
It's the same consonant, just double it up within the word, Mud. And the da6 is the plural.
3:11 pm
MudPlugger
Duh, word blind. Just four to go! Thanks Haz - you're a star!
3:11 pm
Nef
Mud, there are 2 da 4/5's maybe try the OTHER one
3:11 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome, Mud.
3:12 pm
FMitch
Dusts off spare pedestal and proffers stepladder to Haz.
3:12 pm
Haz1558
And what about my vertigo?
3:13 pm
FMitch
OK ... swaps full size pedestal for shorter but still decorative one with chair on the top and a seat belt.
3:13 pm
FMitch
... and a safety net.
3:13 pm
Haz1558
It's not so much vertigo as a feeling of being drawn doooown. Like you'll jump even though you don't mean to.
3:13 pm
MudPlugger
Maybe someone rushing for a pedestal gets vert-ego?
3:14 pm
Haz1558
That sounds better. I'm such a wimp.
3:14 pm
Haz1558
Oh, nice one Mud!
3:15 pm
MudPlugger
Can't find words but can make puns. Looking for po5,12 now..
3:15 pm
Haz1558
po5/12 - mirrors, not quite exactly, the structure of the da5 and 6 that were bothering you.
3:15 pm
FMitch
Add the p to the o4/4
3:16 pm
FMitch
and don't forget the pl
3:16 pm
Haz1558
Or, po5/12 - leave a vowel from the Dan Quayle vegetable.
3:17 pm
MudPlugger
Wow - what on earth does that mean?
3:18 pm
Haz1558
A nocturnal African primate.
3:18 pm
FMitch
Click on the ? and let us know (feeling lazy here)
3:18 pm
MudPlugger
Thanks for the clues - yup just checked the definition. It's educational this process. Two to go now, st6,21 and st5,12. Not so much lazy as burnt out!
3:19 pm
Nef
any clues on the 7? I have 22 words left and dont want to go to the list just yet
3:19 pm
Haz1558
st6/21 - occurs in the Oliver Goldsmith play.
3:20 pm
FMitch
It's a pl Nef to7/28 normal word.
3:20 pm
Brookie
nef, it's the plural of ta6,18
3:20 pm
Haz1558
The seven - loved by some, hated by others, but pretty permanently here.
3:20 pm
MudPlugger
Haz, that's a but intellectual for me - I only do musicals and opera!
3:20 pm
FMitch
and led to some interesting discussions in the log this morning.
3:21 pm
Haz1558
Or - st5/12 - bend over, st6 - verb form - as in 'She st6 to conquer'
3:21 pm
Nef
thanks. And I DO have that ta 6/18 too!
3:21 pm
MudPlugger
Nef, on you or in the list?
3:21 pm
Haz1558
Oh, I'm reading in the chat log at the minute, I'll maybe come on the discussion soon.
3:22 pm
MudPlugger
Uh - of course had the singular of that one.
3:22 pm
Nef
Definitely not on me! I've seen too many old ones that aren't attractive anymore; nor are they recognizable!
3:22 pm
Haz1558
Mud - I'm noticing that you've been a member of babble for a while now. Were you a lurker?
3:23 pm
MudPlugger
Personally can't stand the things, but one of my staff has tons of them and he's a nice as nice can be.
3:23 pm
FMitch
Persnally can't uderstand why people would want to have it done.
Mud is related to Billmeister if I remember correctly?
3:23 pm
timhorton
i have one left that i have been trying to get for some time now can anyone give me a clue for the first to5/10
3:23 pm
MudPlugger
Haz, sort of. We don't get on that often - usually spend 10-20 minutes with my 7-year old before bed time. She's great it. And yes, billmster is my father.
3:24 pm
Haz1558
Ah, that explains things.
3:24 pm
FMitch
Morning bread tim
3:24 pm
timhorton
wow i thought i tried that thanks
3:25 pm
Nef
I'm a nurse and have seen TONS of them on patients through the years. so many WWII vets had them; I just can't understand why people would want them myself
3:25 pm
MudPlugger
Fireworks! Thanks everyone - my wife found the last nasty word.
3:26 pm
Haz1558
My worry is that they look okayish at the start, all precise and everything but they do deteriorate.
3:26 pm
Haz1558
Congratulations Mud!
3:27 pm
MudPlugger
Thanks - we find the smaller grids worth fighting for. When it's hundreds of words we just don't have time.
3:27 pm
Haz1558
We probably don't have the time for the big ones either, but addiction is a terrible thing!
3:27 pm
Nef
YAY Mud! (which didn't work when I entered it in the "add word" box!)
3:28 pm
timhorton
what a cute video
3:28 pm
MudPlugger
G'night all, I'm on the first flight to London tomorrow so I have to get up at 4.15.
3:29 pm
FMitch
Im going to bid you all adieu, not feeling too great. Happy Babbling.
Haz might see you tomorrow :)
3:29 pm
Haz1558
You'll need to get to bed early. Sleep well.
3:29 pm
timhorton
thanks again for the clue
3:29 pm
Nef
Night Mud and Mitch
3:29 pm
Haz1558
Okay - I'll probably not be on until the afternoon - cousin's husband's funeral to attend in the morning.
3:30 pm
MudPlugger
Hope you feel better FM!
3:30 pm
MudPlugger
Hope you feel better FM!
3:30 pm
Haz1558
Hope you feel better soon, FMitch!
3:30 pm
Haz1558
Hello Liz - how are you?
3:30 pm
MudPlugger
Sympathy to you and family, Haz. Never easy. Later...
3:30 pm
FMitch
Oh dear. See you anon then *po4/8*
3:30 pm
Haz1558
Bye you two.
3:31 pm
Lizsark
I'm not bad Haz....I read Mud's sympathy message, I hope nothings wrong? :(
3:32 pm
Haz1558
No, my eldest cousin's husband has died, I'll be attending the funeral in the morning. They lived quite a distance away and sadly, only seem to see her now at funerals.
3:33 pm
Lizsark
Oh I am sorry Haz :(
3:33 pm
Haz1558
Her brother died a couple of years ago, the funeral is in the same church, so it won't be easy for her.
3:34 pm
Minveryork
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody today?
3:34 pm
Lizsark
Never easy no matter what. I've lost too many loved ones this year. I'm hoping for a better 2008 for everyone. Will be thinking of you HAz.
3:35 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
3:35 pm
Haz1558
Thanks Liz and hello Minver.
3:37 pm
Minveryork
I came to help w/clues,but it looks like most are done
3:37 pm
Tinascratch2
hi! wow lookit the wee grid
3:37 pm
Lizsark
I just found the da 6/21 ... what the ????^&%^& Is that really a word???
3:38 pm
Haz1558
You'll wear out the question mark on your computer if you keep this up, Liz.
3:38 pm
Lizsark
LOL But really! That is just SO not a real word! Even the dictionary agrees with me there
3:39 pm
Haz1558
And yet, enable is happy with it.
3:39 pm
Lizsark
sometimes I need to get out and about with the monkeys a bit more
3:40 pm
Haz1558
Just suspend your disbelief, Liz.
3:40 pm
Lizsark
Its hanging by a thread as it is Haz
3:41 pm
Haz1558
Like FMitch's health?
3:41 pm
Lizsark
Fiona? Why whats wrong?
3:41 pm
Haz1558
She's still not well, hopefully the doctor can give her antibiotics for her throat, or at least, something to help.
3:42 pm
Hurra
I could use some help with the O in the middle of the grid
3:42 pm
Lizsark
she works too hard. I hope she's better soon
3:42 pm
Lizsark
Hurra - it means chooses
3:42 pm
Minveryork
oo4/4 is oo plus author ** Elliot Hurra.Is that the one
3:43 pm
Haz1558
Hurra, there's a word of choice for that one, op4.
3:43 pm
Minveryork
Hello Hurra! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
3:43 pm
Hurra
ok - thanks!
3:43 pm
Nef
any help with the ex4/9? Please? everything I try doesn't work
3:44 pm
Minveryork
oo 4/5:oo** I Did It Again (Britney Spears song) hurra
3:44 pm
Haz1558
ex plus off's opposite. Reminds me of oil disaster?
3:44 pm
Minveryork
ex 4/9 - think of a gas station Nef.
3:44 pm
Lizsark
The Valdez
3:45 pm
Nef
thanks! :) I kept thinking there wasn't such a word. A name, maybe, but not a word
3:45 pm
Haz1558
You're probably too young to remember Britain's equivalent, the Tory Canyon, Liz.
3:47 pm
Minveryork
ex 4/9 is any portion of an interrupted gene that is represented in the RNA product & is translated into protein(according to enable).I guess it's a real word.
3:47 pm

Brookie

3:49 pm
Minveryork
Hello Brookie!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
3:49 pm
Haz1558
I should look out for it. Is it all 20th century disasters or does it go further back?
3:49 pm
Brookie
Thanks, minver.
3:50 pm
Minveryork
So I have one word left, but I am savoring it for later
3:51 pm
Brookie
It's always nice that we have all day to complete the grid. We can join and return any time we please...
3:51 pm
Lizsark
No it goes back further to the 18th century - great read
3:52 pm
Brookie
Well, I'm heading out for the evening. Happy babbling, everyone! *poof*
3:52 pm
Haz1558
I'll look out for it - I'm a sucker for history!

Bye Brookie.
3:53 pm
Lizsark
I'm off too now - washing up and bed for me. Been on the running machine tonight and my legs are like jelly!
3:53 pm
Minveryork
In my case it is not always anytime we please. Many times husband or life gets in the way. But I do know what you mean Brookie. It is not so nice when it is a short grid. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bigger puzzle
3:53 pm
Haz1558
Nasty! But it's in a good cause.
3:53 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye Brookie! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

Minveryork
Hi Tinascratch2! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
3:56 pm
mamae
to 4/4 - is it something really easy that I just can't see or what? Please help. Thanks!
3:57 pm
Minveryork
to 4/4 is car****s are on Saturday morning and other to 4/4 is what you do with your car horn mamae. Hi!
3:58 pm
Tinascratch2
hi min - having a very fine day :)
3:58 pm
Minveryork
Hello mamae!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
3:59 pm
Minveryork
to 4/4 means little children & other is anagram of it.
3:59 pm
Tinascratch2
there's another one, too - tater to**
4:00 pm
mamae
i seem to have all of those. what am i missing here????
4:00 pm
Tinascratch2
oh, thx min - hadn't gotten the anagram of that last one yet
4:00 pm
Minveryork
There are four to 4/4 words in the grid today mamae
4:01 pm
mamae
right - I have 3
4:02 pm
Nef
do you have theto 4/4 it off for bottles and drinks?
4:02 pm
Minveryork
Tinascratch2 and I clued all four of the to 4/4 words.
4:03 pm
Minveryork
The 4 to4/4 words are car****s on Saturday morning, to** your horn, tater-to** and anagram of it mamae.
4:04 pm
Minveryork
Maybe you are missing a to 4/5 word instead mamae.
4:04 pm
mamae
I GOT IT!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!
4:20 pm
Nef
5 left. the sp5/12 (first one) and the st 5/12 (last one) seem invisible to me
4:21 pm
Babs1
sp 5/12 eating tool
4:21 pm
Babs1
consonnant instead of plural for 5/12 preceding
4:21 pm
Minveryork
sp 5/12 is you use a sp*** to eat soup Nef. st 5/12 is past tense of a st4/5 word using the cross letter Nef
4:22 pm
Minveryork
Hello Babs1! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
4:22 pm
Nef
Geez! Where's the fish? Thanks! For both !!
4:23 pm
Babs1
Hi minveryork! 1 to go...maybe ask for clue soon..
4:23 pm
Babs1
thanks for asking..actually going through lots of marital crisis stuff...
4:23 pm
Minveryork
I have one to go too, but I am savoring it for later on
4:23 pm
Minveryork
I am sorry to hear that. What kind of marital crisis?
4:24 pm
mamae
po 5/18 anyone??? Pls.
4:24 pm
Minveryork
po 5/18 is plural of the po 4/8 word before it mamae.
4:24 pm
Minveryork
Could it be Babble Babs1? Babble causes crisis for me.
4:25 pm
Babs1
probably not good to put details here in chat, but long term issues of not being close and now finding he's led a second life --owned up to part of it, then hid the rest
4:26 pm
mamae
Thanks minveryork! You are on it! I thought I already had that! I have one left!
4:26 pm
Minveryork
My husband gets mad & says I pay more attention to Babble than to him, which is quite true unfortunately
4:28 pm
Babs1
it's a hard trek to wake up, realizing you've been living in delusion and not even knowing how long...going through lots of feelings and soul searaching
4:28 pm
Minveryork
Yes, that is definitely be a crisis! I'm so sorry Babs1!
4:28 pm
Babs1
thanks...just trying to get stabilized and get a deeper connection within!
4:29 pm
Aussieme

4:38 pm
lbdawger
silly, it is addictive! are you using lickety's list? it can be found at the bottom of the page under friends of babble. it's a very helpful list to use.
4:38 pm
Aussieme
Welcome Min..... Have a good night with Hubby tonight wont you !!
4:39 pm
lbdawger
Min, any romantic plans?
4:39 pm
Minveryork
SillyD, you picked an appropriate name.Babble words can be quite silly here and the players can be as well.
4:39 pm
SillyD
No... I don't have that... is it because I'm a MAC user?
4:39 pm
SillyD
I know I have found 54 words... I love this!
4:40 pm
Minveryork
Unfortunately,he is a die hard Yankees fan so he will be watching the game to see if the Yanks will make it
4:40 pm
Aussieme
Min, and you are worried about ignoring him ?
4:40 pm
lbdawger
silly, a mac user can use the lickety list that is linked to the bottom of the page. it opens in a new window, and you can transfer your answers to that list to find out which ones you are missing.
4:40 pm
Nef
Silly, I'm on a Mac too. Go to the bottom of the page where it says "friends of Babble' and it lists likketys list down there
4:41 pm
SillyD
Thank you for the information!
4:41 pm
Minveryork
http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com
/babbleclues.html - this is the link or website of Lickety's list SillyD
4:42 pm
Nef
As a Mac user, however, we don't get to see the special videos that likety has, but we do get to see the fireworks
4:42 pm
Minveryork
He is making me a really nice romantic dinner tonight
4:42 pm
Aussieme
Awwww, thats nice Min
4:43 pm
Nef

4:43 pm
Tinascratch2
congrats min - I hope you have a lovely evening
4:43 pm
Minveryork
Yes, with candle lights & game on in the background.
4:45 pm
Nef
the game on? Hmmm, romance isn't what it used to be I guess! ;)
4:49 pm
Minveryork
I don't mind because I can sit here and clue while he watches game. We already had a nice day together.
4:49 pm
Minveryork
Nothing's what it used to be if you think about it Nef
4:50 pm
Minveryork
Now we're in the days of bad politics and technology.
4:54 pm
Nef
true. Of course, politics have always had some bad apples through the ages.
4:57 pm
Nef
2 words left and I can't find them. they HAVE to be fish words because I've missed the easiest words today.
4:58 pm
Minveryork
Yes, we have had some bad apples, but I think we've had a rotten apple for the past three years. Oh well.
4:59 pm
lbdawger
go nef go!
4:59 pm
Minveryork
So what are the 2 words left that yoiu still need Nef?
4:59 pm
Nef
Just ONE bad apple? Wow!
5:01 pm
Minveryork
Why does the letter i have to be next to the letter u on the keyboard? I hate typos! So,what do you need?
5:01 pm
Nef
I'm still working on them so don't tell me yet. Just let me know if they are fish words, okay? Thanks. do 4/6 and to 5/12
5:02 pm
lbdawger
not fish, just unusual words we've had before.
5:02 pm
Minveryork
I would not consider them to be fish words, but then I am not a Babble expert! Will clue them when needed
5:05 pm
Nef
well, *that's* good news! At least I'm not totally blind today!
5:07 pm
Minveryork
Can I tell you how they're situated without cluing Nef
5:08 pm
Nef
yeah; you might as well clue them too. My fingers hurt and I took a pain pill so things will start swimming here soon for me
5:09 pm
lbdawger
do+ not ma
5:09 pm
Tinascratch2
okay, one left...
5:10 pm
Minveryork
to 5/12 rhymes with not a co-op but a c**** & do 4/5 is do plus state abbreviation for the Steelers Nef.
5:10 pm
lbdawger
2000 pounds + ** re me fa so la ti **
5:10 pm
Nef

i went to see son-in-law run in the marathon today - they called it cause of the heat - tony walked the last 6 miles, but really sad thing is that someone died & over 300 had to go to hospitals
5:30 pm
helenkeller
it was record heat here today
5:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello helenkeller!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
5:30 pm
helenkeller
hiya minver
5:31 pm
pam
That is something, HK. And, i am sorry that someone died, and that others got so sick...
5:32 pm
helenkeller
i know pam, it casts a sadness over the whole thing & it was such a nice experience, so many people on sidelines cheering on the runners, such a positive atmosphere
5:32 pm
Tinascratch2
omg, hk - that's terrible :(
5:33 pm
pam
I know what you mean, HK. That's how the Boston Marathon is, and when tragedy strikes, it is just a huge pall
5:34 pm
helenkeller
yes tina, i expect it's gonna be a huge shock to the family, but i gotta say there were a number of way outta shape people in the thing - i personally would never attempt it & i'm not in all that horrible shape
5:35 pm
helenkeller
tony did the smart thing, to walk the end, he's been training since spring, this was his 3rd marathon, but he's run the 26 miles 2x in the past couple of months
5:35 pm
Turdboggler
Fireworks!!!!
5:35 pm
helenkeller
they even ran out of water - at the finish & also at stations along the way - it also saddens me cause i would love for the olympics to come here & this make our city look bad
5:35 pm
pam
And the heat's effects can be so severe that even people who trained--not pros, but people who trained--are at risk. Tony did do the smart thing, HK, and I am glad
5:35 pm
helenkeller
yay for tur !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5:35 pm
pam
Congrats boggler and all finishers
5:36 pm
helenkeller
yeah - my friend said she saw this couple, the guy had run & the woman was trying to get him to go to a hospital, but he just wanted to go back to his hotel & michelle said his entire face had blisters all over, must be very heat sensitive - lots of very red-faced people
5:37 pm
helenkeller
yeah - i saw tony at mile 4 & then at 10 & he was really soaked at 10 which i was surprised at but that's cause of the heat
5:38 pm
pam
Soaked is good. People stop sweating when the start experiencing heat exhaustion, then comes heat stroke... Don't get me started on all the ways severe heat and stupid people combine! Not to mention sunburn...
5:39 pm
helenkeller
lol pam - i am very sensitive to the heat too - i had 2 friends all to make sure i was ok, lol & i didn't even run, even took a cab back to my car :)
5:40 pm
pam
LOLOL, hk,that IS funny! Glad that you played it cool, though. I am heat sensitive, too. And, I love cold water, so you can imagine how much I drink during the summers...
5:41 pm
helenkeller
igood for you, i don't drink nearly as much as i should (water that is, i do drink an awful lot of tea)
5:44 pm
Tinascratch2
yup, pam - i've seen people act the fool many times out in the heat - people that really should know better.
5:45 pm
Tinascratch2
it's easy to let the heat get the best of you, don't get me wrong - but sometimes people are crazily careless
5:46 pm
helenkeller
sure are
5:47 pm

Mom
It will go fast Scrabbler. We had summer temps as well

6:02 pm
Mom
do you need any clues before I go, anyone?
6:02 pm

The leaves are near peak in colors--it is beautiful, perhaps my favorite season.
6:02 pm
Hurra
I need one more of the O's (second row)
6:02 pm
Scrabbler
I am going to plug away, without the list for now, Mom.
6:03 pm
Mom
I love to see the trees change, but we have been so dry here, that the leaves have been falling most of the summer
6:03 pm
J2
Mom--I only have 1 left and am ready to give up and ask for a clue....to 5/10. Can't seem to figure it out.
6:03 pm
pam
Hi, scrabs and mom.
6:03 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Pam! How are you doing? Enjoying autumn?
6:03 pm
pam
Scrabs--we aren't going to get the colors as much here--too much of a drought
6:03 pm
J2
I should clarify that it is the first to 1/10
6:03 pm
Scrabbler
Don't give up, J2. Always ask for clue.

7:45 pm
pam
I have to keep repositioning my large feet, scrabs, LOL! But, I like it as my fave form of torture. I will do the reclining bike, too... Of course, I have to re-learn the machines for the mini nautilus type circuit--much as I love cardio, I HATE weight training, but my shoulder pretty much requires it...

7:52 pm
evanonut
oh, it's stinkin
7:53 pm
lbdawger
poot isn't a word either. go figure
7:53 pm
Jacula
I don't mind driving in North Wales. Apparently, I take the lanes, out of tourist season, 'like a rally driver'. But I grew up knowing every bump, twist, turn, wall and ditch in them. Here in Worcs., I'm told I drive like I have 'square wheels'. I decided to stop driving about 7 years' ago and haven't yet succumbed.
7:53 pm
renfield
it's a stinker too
7:54 pm
evanonut
like my kit kat
7:54 pm
Jacula
ren - for poos to work, you have to spell it pooHs.
7:54 pm
renfield
i can;t imagine not driving - i love to drive
7:54 pm
pam
that d is odd, too. Thanks for the clues, lbd
7:54 pm
renfield
thanks mistress!
7:54 pm
evanonut
i spells it pood
7:54 pm
Jacula
Ren - more room on your roads out there over The Pond.
7:55 pm
renfield
that's stinky fo4/8 that is prior to poos
7:56 pm
Jacula
I've lost track of what clues are being asked for and by whom now.
7:57 pm
renfield
i think we were in the po's
7:57 pm
SillyD
I need to5,12
7:57 pm
Jacula
I haven't even looked up what today's theme is. I'm still on the 'hot food' theme.
7:57 pm
SillyD
I've got all the po's what are you looking for
7:58 pm
evanonut
i know i'm in deep po***
7:58 pm
Jacula
to5/12 = heavy weight + active verb... to **.
7:58 pm
Jacula
I finished hours ago so I've got any word you want. LOL
7:59 pm
Jacula
po4/6 - small body of water, often containing goldfish.
7:59 pm
Jacula
po4/8 - a nasty smell?
8:00 pm
Jacula
No, that's po4.7
8:01 pm
Jacula
po4/8 - Babblers often say it when leaving the chatlog to signify they have switch off. We in, UK, use the word to describe either a fo4 stool or (not policically correctly) a homoesexual man. po5/18 is the plural.
8:01 pm
renfield
duh - i just noticed there are no e's in this grid....
8:02 pm
Jacula
po4/5 - like the piece of cutlery you use to eat liquid fo4s with but minus its head.
8:03 pm
Jacula
po6/21 - Sir Walter Raleigh brought this rootvegetable into UK, along with tobacco. Think 'fries'.
8:03 pm
pam
jac--can you reclue the to? I get the heavy weight, but not the verb... thanks
8:03 pm
pam
oh, and thanks for the other clues--I m more than halfway
8:03 pm
Jacula
po4.5 - **** and pans. Cooking containers.
8:03 pm
Jacula
pam - you might write yourself a list of 'things to **'.
8:04 pm
SillyD
da5, 12 not the one that can take the plr. HELP!

8:05 pm
Minveryork
Both of the da 5/12 words are plurals SillyD.
8:05 pm
Jacula
2nd da5/12 is the same as the da4/5 with the plural but has a double consonant in the middle.
8:05 pm
saphyre
how is everyone doing today?
8:05 pm
Jacula
Shall I go on with the 'po' clue list?
8:05 pm
Minveryork
da5/12 is da plus double cross letter plus vowel.Sorry
8:06 pm
lbdawger
silly, da+ double consonant + 4th vowel.
8:06 pm

Minveryork
I could've gotten fireworks @ 12:00,but I was saving my last word until later tonight.Now I have fireworks
8:08 pm
Jacula
po5/12 is a type of lemur more commonly known as a kinkajou. Rhymes with a short word now used for lottery in UK, and US, I think. po6/21 is the plural.
8:08 pm
pam
Way to go, kate!
8:08 pm
Jacula
Well done, Min!
8:08 pm
Minveryork
Thanks Jacula!
8:08 pm

8:11 pm
Minveryork
If I drank a glass of wine I'd fall right to sleep Jacula!
8:11 pm

8:13 pm
Jacula
Stroke the baby, feather, to calm the baby down.

8:20 pm

Sounds like a great book!
8:21 pm

8:21 pm
Jacula
It is a great book for the older woman.
8:22 pm

8:22 pm

featherbee
ok trying again
8:41 pm
featherbee
jac, thanks for the advice re: listless. i'd prefer to do it that way rather than go to the list and find all the stupid easy words i'd missed!
8:42 pm
Jacula
feather - it's normally plurals that are missed, or 'ier' or 'ig' endings.
8:43 pm
Jacula
But, sometimes, it is simple 4/4s.:(
8:43 pm
featherbee
yep. down to 16 now.
8:43 pm
Jacula
Meant *ing endings not 'ig'.
8:43 pm
featherbee
but if it was a grid with a lot of really weird words, then i'd go for the list
8:44 pm
Jacula
But, feather, how would you know they were weird word unless you checked the list?
8:44 pm
featherbee
by asking you and watching the log!
8:44 pm
Jacula
I mean, you could look at a grid and think, 'What the ***?'
8:45 pm
featherbee
haven't heard much grumbling on this one, as opposed to yesterday's
8:45 pm
Jacula
Other than that, you only have the log comments to go by.
8:45 pm
featherbee
yep. plus the fact that i'm mostly missing 4s and 5s.
8:45 pm
featherbee
the 6s yesterday killed me!
8:45 pm

8:46 pm

I was about to say I can't remember yesterday's grid but then I remember how cross I briefly felt with my best friend today when on the 'phone to her and she said, yet again, of our teen years, 'Oh, I don't remember anything about those days!' WHY doesn't she?
8:47 pm
featherbee
it's fairly dim in here, and all i see in his face when he opens his eyes are little dark dots

Nice, but completely chaotic. It has changed our life drastically. Somehome changing diapers and playing has become more important than Babble... no offense.
8:51 pm

Jac, selective on her part, because she doesn't want to admit to her youth. too bad for her.

8:53 pm

how did you get them?
8:53 pm
featherbee
ok, ty. i'll let you know!
8:53 pm
Jacula
dawg - I don't really need to ask that, re the selective memory, given what I've seen in the teen clinic and the alzheimer's clinic. Alll I can say now, so far in my life, if thank God I still have almost total recall. All the events in my life are what have gone towards making me, as well as the genetic stuff, and, at 50, I don't think being 'Me' is a bad place to be. It could be better, had I taken a different path or two in life, of course, but it's still a pace I am content to be in at 50 and and half years' of age. LOL.

Other half hasn't got divorced yet... after nearly 4 years' togetherness. Call me old-fashioned if you like, but I'm not comfortable 'living with another woman's husband'... even if she doesnt want him.
9:00 pm

come to think of it, I don't remember much of being a teenager and I'm only 24

I just chalk it up to bad memory and boring teen life.

Ah, getting it now. I've asked my daughter (whose Dad left us when she was 8ish) about early memories... she's 'blocked', too.
9:03 pm
doxy1lover
he's been dead now for over 2 years, the only thing is I didn't get to ask him why he didn't keep in touch with his girls.
9:03 pm
featherbee
i don't understand how you could not keep in touch with your children
9:03 pm
featherbee
i can't imagine not being part of the boy's lives in some way
9:03 pm
Jacula
My son, however, has total recall. That's a male thing, I guess. 'Problem! What's happening? I'm the man now.'
9:04 pm
lbdawger
for some people the contact is the pain. whether it's the spouse or the offspring.
9:04 pm
Minveryork
Guess it depends on the relationship you had w/them
9:04 pm
featherbee
how many SP please?
9:04 pm
Jacula
There has been and still is a small amount of 'antler clashing' in the house. LOL
9:04 pm

true dawg. just hard/sad to imagine it being that way

I've been there, doxy. I was 11. My dad moved to Florida, found a woman and her family and forgot about us (okay, that was my perception). He died when I was 19. I chose not to go to the funeral - that made some waves, but such is life.
9:04 pm
doxy1lover
he was an "out of sight, out of mind" type person. I talked with my step-brother at the funeral, he and my aunt (whom I met at the funeral) said that he loved us girls (4 of us) and talked about us all the time. You would never know from the way he treated us.

Hi goldies

to5/12, a heavy weight and "how ** you **?" a greeting
9:06 pm
Minveryork
to 5/10 is plural of the to 4/4 word & to5/12 rhymes with not a co-op but a c**** goldies.

This is a painful subject - what parents, mostly unintentionally do to their children (see Phillip Larkin, The F*ck you up, your Mum and Dad poem'.
9:07 pm

Other half sounds to be rousing for work now.
9:40 pm

I must soon replace him in the bed in the honoured by time 'starfish' pose so I can do my my work whilst he does his, thus leaving him MORE work to do at the next weekend. LOL

I just figured out what goodreads reminds me of. In 6th grade, we had a chart with our names and we were to put a star up for each book we read--only we had to write a report to get the star. Teacher noticed I was reading more books than there were stars. Told her I wasn't interested in "winning." I was already motivated to read--on my own. Eventually, because i liked her, I wrote more reports than I would have been inclined, but still...
9:59 pm
Jacula
Pam - oh no! Surely not? I didn't see it that way.
10:02 pm
pam
I know--it's me, Jac, LOL!
10:03 pm
Jacula
I just go into there solo andd post my books and what I think about them. Only one to coment so far is Jillibus, and I thank her for that.
10:04 pm
pam
I am going to try to skim others' sites for books to add to my to-reads, and catch my list up as I think of it, Jac.
10:05 pm
Jacula
I need to scan by newly reordered bookshelves. However, I'm not sure goodreads could cope with al of the 'read', and 'to read' in one go.
10:06 pm
pam
I think you are probably right, Jac--you read A LOT!
10:06 pm
Jacula
The books on my 'to read' shelf, pam are just a small part of the ones actually here on my shelves at home. I don't go in for 'bboks I want to read but havem't yer purchased'.
10:08 pm
Jacula
Reading has always been a big part of my life, pam. Writing, also, but diminished for a decade, when life crisises (is that a word) all broke at once.
10:08 pm
pam
That makes sense, Jac.
10:09 pm
pam
I think it's crises, but yes, that makes sense. Same for me.
10:10 pm
pam
The to-read I have is one I either bought or will buy tomorrow as I ahve wanted to read it and Doren's review made it my next novel.
10:10 pm
Jacula
Pam = when you are trying to make sense of what life's throwing at you, it is not always possible to write about it except in personal letters to people.
10:12 pm
pam
True enough, jac. I found lots of babbling, writing broadcast e-mails, and individual e-mails really helped. Letter would have been nice, but I needed more immediate contact.
10:13 pm
Jacula
If you are a writer at heart, you will still hold on to the things you said in yyour personal letters. Hoepfully, you won't also hang onto thing your friend said in reply to make money out of them. I have been so p*ssed off by a number o friends through this. In my view, the mistakes II make in life ca n be laughed at and paid for... I will not betray my friends by writing about them without their permission.
10:15 pm
Jacula
pam - When you needed a helping pen, I would have been there, had you given me the postal address.
10:16 pm
pam
Well put, Jac. well put. I had all of my friends letters throughout the years, thinned them out, and then lost majority to a mold in the trunk...
10:16 pm
pam
Thanks, Jac. But you were there--here ((()))))
10:18 pm
Jacula
Weve gopt a postal strike inm UK now. 48 hours strikles, staarting Mondaysm and Thursdays. So, effectively, no post in UK at present. Whilst I do understand the postiea' argument, I still must caution them that they are playing into the hands of pivasation.
10:19 pm

I do wish I hadn't now lost the ability to spell and ttype correctly.

Privatization is the bane of certain areas of existence...Ok, I am fading, fading, fading. Ciao and cheers! Great chatting, jac,...
