Oh, I did read your icon information, jilli. Sounds like your grandfather was a fascinating man.

12:55 am

DRBERNABO

I thought there would be more -est words and there were only three (I think)

12:55 am

jillibus

thanks, dc and jellen. I heard plenty of stories about him -- not all nice!

12:56 am

Jellen

Are you going to become a translator, dc?

12:57 am

dcseain

i'm not sure, it is tempting. why do you ask, jellen?

12:59 am

Erda

Jillibus: Bought my copy in Rome in 1966, It was the 1963 12th edition...It was my bible. Was told to use it at the University of Zagreb, where I studied English...

12:59 am

Jellen

Just curious. It would be a challenge to do it, I think.

12:59 am

jillibus

Oh, so happy to hear that, Erda!

1:00 am

dcseain

i've done translation work independently. Biggest challenge was technical documents about nuclear reactors for the US Dept of Energy. The Mexicans who attended the seminar complimented the work, which was nice.

1:00 am

Erda

I must have had an earlier edition, but I left it back in Yugoslavia when I escaped...

1:01 am

dcseain

i've done some interpretation, work, too, though not as much.

Jellen

Not sure who it is; the caption says he'll take $20 to put your word in his dictionary.

1:17 am

Jellen

Hi, lynxxx

1:17 am

dcseain

that's rather a steep price for the apparent age of the engraving.

1:18 am

Jellen

But a bargain for impacting the English language.

1:19 am

FranMag

it's probably the editor of the enable dictionary....now we know how some of these words got in.

1:19 am

dcseain

true. i'd no idea that 'nummy' was a regionalism until i lived in Boston.

1:19 am

Erda

I have a rare dictionary: Terminorum Musicae Index Septem Linguis Redactus. It deals with musical terms in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian and Russian. The Russian stuff is at the end of the book because they couldn't fit all that cyrillic among the Latin alphabets...

2:09 am

Atalante

2:10 am

dcseain

does be6 build on be4?

2:10 am

FranMag

second one looks like a plural, but there is no corresponding singular

2:11 am

FranMag

no dc, unless there is another one that i don't have

2:11 am

jillibus

thank you fran and dc -- no wonder the monkeys went on strike

2:11 am

2:33 am

FranMag

just one of our rules kid, people like to find them on their own.

2:33 am

dcseain

eveing, mrp!

2:33 am

lynxxx

because it will spoil the fun of finding them ourselves

2:33 am

sprite

babbleKID: because this is a puzzle game. We like to find the words ourselves.

2:33 am

jillibus

kid, we only put hints in the chat or it spoils the fun of finding the words

2:33 am

joso

I somehow bothched the whole thing, Solitare made an error on the exchange, came out to $50 canadian, and I missread Canada post's rates, thought I could do anything under 10 KG's within budget, but I was at the post office, and so was the box, so I just made up the difference.

2:34 am

herinfernallady

http://www.louisvuitton.com have a look at the bags here :)

2:34 am

Lizsark

morning :)

2:34 am

FranMag

2:36 am

lynxxx

Hi Liz!

2:36 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres that was pounds

2:36 am

joso

yes, didn't want to make another trip, repack the box etc. etc. no problem, but if we do it again it will be less for the same amount.

2:36 am

FranMag

when i worked in retail, our Hermes boutique sold every Kelly bag that came in, at the time they were over $3500 US, but a bargain compared to what they cost in Japan.

2:36 am

Lizsark

hi Sprite, Dc, Mrp, Fran, Herin, Lynxxx, Jill, anyone I missed :)

2:36 am

dcseain

is that charge by amazon for overeseas?

2:36 am

Atalante

2:37 am

mrpresident

2:37 am

2:37 am

sprite

2:37 am

lynxxx

FranMag

mrpresident

the books are cheap liz, but the postage is the killer

2:41 am

jillibus

Well, now that our dollar is higher than the US dollar we are still paying more for the same books

2:41 am

dcseain

GST, mrp - we lack it, and amazon, not having brick and mortar stores charges no sales tax here. now, for real bbl :)

2:41 am

herinfernallady

I would send stuff to others but i have done it recently and its been nothing but a giant pain in my ass to do it

2:47 am

sprite

wow, that is insane.

2:47 am

lynxxx

BBL too much noise in this house to concentrate

2:48 am

BabbleRabble

goedemorgen, sprite

2:48 am

mrpresident

I am hoping I can spend the rest of my gift card with mypandora.com

2:48 am

herinfernallady

Yep we ordered $80 worth of books and was slugged $70 in charges. That was the only book i got

2:48 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres have you contacted the sellers in relation to the books as that sounds dodgy

2:49 am

sprite

jij ook een goedemorgen gewenst, BabbleRabble :)

2:49 am

herinfernallady

SOBs half way through the sodding season channel nine booted my show till late

2:49 am

mrpresident

you should only get charged what they send you

2:49 am

sprite

yay... cannot remember who gave that rat's eye clue for the 8, but I found it without seeing how it could be in the grid :D

2:50 am

mrpresident

it is dodgy cause they said they had the books in store, but when I completed the order, they emailed me that they didn't have any of them and I would have to wait

2:50 am

NJwrestker157

what was the rat's eye clue?

2:50 am

jillibus

I think it was fran, sprite

2:50 am

mrpresident

oh, that one travels along the bottom left of the grid

2:51 am

sprite

in that case: thanks Fran! :)
NJ, the clue was something like: that rat had the be8 little eyes.

2:51 am

Lizsark

same here Sprite! I still cant see it but I've got it accepted lol

2:51 am

NJwrestker157

haha i got it too before figuring out how it fit in the grid

2:51 am

NJwrestker157

thx

2:51 am

herinfernallady

but did the refund you the money? I got full refund off $77 as my book got eaten by the system

2:52 am

mrpresident

yes, they didn't charge me for what didn't arrive

2:52 am

BabbleRabble

be 8 --- most like wampum

2:52 am

sprite

NJ: yw :)

2:53 am

herinfernallady

That is a bonus but still rude

2:54 am

sprite

2:54 am

Lizsark

2:56 am

Lizsark

I'll tell you when I find it LOL

2:57 am

sprite

I guess it will be when Buffy kills a vampire... the guy was already de4, but after that he is de6.

2:57 am

thanks lady :)

2:58 am

sprite

Liz: that is what I mean :D

2:58 am

Lizsark

*rolls eyes*

2:59 am

BabbleRabble

enable is somewhat like Humpty Dumpty: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.

2:59 am

Lizsark

Right I have to go. Time to play with the little be 5/14's at playschool! LOL

2:59 am

3:02 am

sprite

not much, in my case, lady...

3:02 am

Atalante

it kind of depends, lady .... on quality, age, rarity etc

3:03 am

sprite

but for books, it would be an entirely different matter :)

3:04 am

herinfernallady

i nearly fell off my chair $100 000 pounds and its used always for mass

3:06 am

Xanika

Hi All

3:06 am

BabbleRabble

3:06 am

Xanika

Herin, I just sent you an email about my situation. Please read.

3:06 am

herinfernallady

HI Xankia. I just emailed you back

3:06 am

herinfernallady

Is anyone here or has the grid eaten you all

3:18 am

sprite

what would you want us to say on your conversation with Xanika, lady?

3:18 am

dcseain

hi, back for a short bit. hi, Xanika.

3:18 am

herinfernallady

not much. :D

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Hi Dc did you go home yet?

3:19 am

sprite

lol... thought so ;)

3:19 am

sprite

great icon today, dc!

3:19 am

dcseain

no, i've 3 hours yet before i leave.

3:19 am

herinfernallady

mmm i have a few thoughts but i dont think i could say it here. Not very pc

3:19 am

dcseain

ty, sprite. i use that dictionary online a lot.

3:20 am

dcseain

ah, okay. I'll be on yahoo later, likely ~5 hrs from now, or email me at gmail.com

3:20 am

herinfernallady

DC you on that new shift rotation yet?

3:21 am

dcseain

i work 19-07 gmt-4 (or babble time +1), still on the off W/Th week A, work W/Th week B.

3:22 am

sprite

I guess the off week makes it all possible?

3:22 am

dcseain

i'm supervisor for nights when i work now too, which is wack, as i've only been here since 9 July, and guy i work with has been here 3 years.

3:22 am

herinfernallady

So still stuck at nights?

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Does that not make you pouty?

3:23 am

dcseain

a bit, but it beats the 16-00 shift.

3:23 am

sprite

probably means you do a better job, dc...

3:23 am

herinfernallady

icky night shift

3:23 am

herinfernallady

(nearly ditched the f out of shift then)

3:23 am

dcseain

well, i come here with 15 years of helpdesk, so i'd like to think i can handle the job, sprite. :">

3:24 am

sprite

grin... so not really strange you got to be supervisor then, dc...

3:24 am

dcseain

worst part is my employer called me today at 14, while i was asleep. of course i'm a sub-contractor, so they don't really know my hours.

3:25 am

dcseain

nice thing about nights is i get to babble and chat with yall.

3:25 am

sprite

love to have you around, dc, that's for sure

3:25 am

dcseain

oh, sprite, yall, from y'all, from you all, Southern US 2nd person Plural.

3:26 am

sprite

hey, I knew that :)

3:26 am

dcseain

all o'yall, or all of you all, is the emphatic and/or broadly inclusive construction.

3:26 am

dcseain

oh, cool. it's ubscure to plenty here, so i thought you might not. my bad.

3:27 am

dcseain

obscure, even.

3:27 am

dcseain

my dad did shiftwork when i was young. When he worked 15-23, he'd take me to Krispy Kreme at 01 or so to watch the donuts being made. :)

3:28 am

sprite

I appreciate your information, dc! Just was proud I did know this little piece of it... but keep on telling me things like this, it will improve my knowledge of idiom.

3:29 am

dcseain

what i gave you below is widely used conversationally from Maryland out through Texas in the US.

3:29 am

sprite

is that the same region that would use "hisn" ?

3:30 am

dcseain

what's that mean, 'hisn'?

3:30 am

dcseain

is that like 'isn't'?

3:31 am

sprite

no, it is a babblet I learned from babble. It is southern drawl for his (as in his and her).

3:31 am

dcseain

and lady, nights not my ideal, but it pays the bills, and i'm finding i'm adjusting.

3:32 am

dcseain

oh, his'n'hers, yeah, we use that, said as hizn, also yours, said as yerzn, etc.

3:32 am

dcseain

in my native dialect of English iron is said as arn, too.

3:33 am

sprite

the funny thing is, hisn is in enable, but yerzn, hern, etc is not.

3:33 am

herinfernallady

Thats a fair call Dc

3:34 am

Atalante

hern is :)

3:35 am

sprite

is it? Ok, then I will reconsider my complaint :)
Thanks Ata!

3:38 am

Karys

where we live hisn means belonging to him !.....hello everyone, don't get too near puter today I have a drippy cold !!

3:38 am

sprite

yup, that is the hisn I mean, Karys! And here is a *hug* for you... get well soon!

3:39 am

Karys

ooohhh thank you sprite....I feel better already : )

3:40 am

sprite

3:40 am

Karys

3:41 am

sprite

be5 the hell out of de6/24 for sure

3:41 am

Karys

thats just so silly !

3:42 am

Karys

how can anything oor anyone be de6/24 !!

3:42 am

sprite

ridiculous word, the 24 that is. But what can one say... sigh... enable :)

3:42 am

herinfernallady

back in a bit

3:43 am

Karys

indeed sprite, indeed

3:43 am

sprite

I just considered it might be a vampire after Buffy killed it. It was already de4, but now it is de6.

3:43 am

Karys

perhaps that is it !

3:44 am

Karys

can anyone else see 'waterbed' ?

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:45 am

Karys

Good morning Haz : )

Hello there - a nice grid today?

3:46 am

sprite

so far it is fun, Haz, though Karys and I and some more draw the line at de6/24.

3:46 am

dcseain

hi, karys and haz, and the grid ain't too bad today.

3:46 am

Karys

it was to start with, now I'm not so sure !

3:46 am

Haz1558

I seek de6/24 then to see which side of the line I stand.

3:46 am

dcseain

i'm down to 25, though i had to really work for a lot of those.

3:46 am

dcseain

not least the Ls

3:47 am

Karys

havn't yet looked at those dc

3:47 am

dcseain

Sprite's buffy clue for that is nice.

3:48 am

sprite

:)

3:48 am

dcseain

the LWs are like hawaiian flower necklaces.

3:48 am

Haz1558

If you can have the superlative, as in the most unalive tone of delivery of a speech, then the comparative has to have its place. I'm on the side of de6/24!

3:48 am

FranMag

hello again!

3:48 am

dcseain

wb, fran!

3:48 am

sprite

wb Fran!

And Haz, that is only because you love to disagree :P

3:48 am

dcseain

you senesed that i typed hawaiian, didn't you ;)

3:48 am

FranMag

hi dc, haz, sprite, karys!

3:49 am

Karys

hi Fran

3:49 am

Haz1558

Sprite - how can you say such a thing?

3:49 am

Atalante

have to go and sort out the dog. and going off to sulk until debate is allowed!

3:49 am

Karys

so they are dc, thank you !

3:49 am

sprite

it came quite easy, actually, Haz :)

3:49 am

FranMag

later ata!

3:50 am

sprite

lol Ata... tried that too. *hug* and cuddly the dog from me.

3:50 am

dcseain

ciao, ata!

3:50 am

sprite

hey Fran, great dictionary!

3:50 am

Haz1558

I'm just saying that de4 can be used to describe more than just the physical state of a corpse....

3:50 am

Karys

bye Ata

3:50 am

FranMag

thanks sprite, you know i had to have a Hawaiian one.

3:51 am

dcseain

yes, much more "This party couldn't be any de6/24. Let's go eat instead."

3:51 am

sprite

I think next we will have pregnanter and pregnantest women.

3:51 am

sprite

I'd love to see that dictionary for real, Fran. It must be lovely just paging through it!

3:51 am

dcseain

again, pregnant is used for more than just a woman - to describe a tense situation for example.

3:52 am

sprite

oh really??? :P

3:52 am

dcseain

a pregnant pause, for example, i'm sure you've seen it in books, no?

3:52 am

FranMag

that's why i listed all the information for it, i figured it was one people might actually try to find.

3:53 am

dcseain

in that case, it's a tensish anticipatory pause.

3:53 am

sprite

am pulling your leg, dc.. of course I know. But I have declared de6/24 to be ridiculous and I stand with my pov :P

3:53 am

mrpresident

back soon, just having my dinner! :)

3:54 am

FranMag

later mrp!

3:54 am

dcseain

hasta, mrp

3:54 am

FranMag

i want an N to have paisan

3:54 am

sprite

dinner, mrP? And our reading then???

3:54 am

dcseain

de6/24 is common from my POV, but i was a gothling back in the day, so what do i know.

3:54 am

FranMag

oops, that was too close to two real words, sorry!

3:55 am

Karys

I want a 'c' for disect

3:55 am

sprite

lol Fran...

3:56 am

sprite

I want another S for lots of words, like disE4/4

4:02 am

FranMag

phantom: petsai

4:03 am

dcseain

the PEs are worse than the Ls, as it turns out.

4:03 am

sprite

owww that rat even has the be8 re7 little eyes... it is a real creep!

4:04 am

dcseain

oh, so the rat's albino, eh?

4:04 am

FranMag

heh, must be dc

4:04 am

sprite

you'll find sudoku quite easy today, medium, but i did it with no greens.

4:19 am

sprite

not sure where mrP is hiding... think I am going to do the sudoku and after that I go downstairs... She said she 'd be here 45 minutes ago.

4:20 am

FranMag

lost track of time most likely

4:20 am

sprite

iron sudoku is funny. I do 6 and 7 star sudokus here at home and I can solve most of them. But sometimes I really have trouble solving a medium at iron sudoku.

4:20 am

P.J.

Good rainy morning everyone.:)

5:10 am

Eva

debe

5:10 am

Eva

sorry!

5:11 am

Haz1558

de4/6 can refer to more than just the physical state of a corpse. Bush's style of oratory is de6/24 than Clinton's.

5:11 am

herinfernallady

Oh holly crap how do you spelt Tuesday Is it tesday or Tuesday?

5:11 am

rolin

hmm..true haz

5:11 am

rolin

5:14 am

herinfernallady

well i was trying to be polite and have firmly just decided that if a teacher can not get 3rd grade grammar right i am home schooling my future spawn.

5:15 am

Haz1558

It's an adjective/past tense ending on the ending of the type of home the pioneers/early farmers lived on - home*****.

I won't tell anybody lol

5:23 am

What me having kids or me teaching kids?

5:23 am

rolin

ty haz

5:23 am

P.J.

yep,ha ha

5:23 am

Eva

thanks haz!

5:24 am

Haz1558

It was the idea of home schooling that I thought wouldn't be a good idea. I wouldn't have the patience for it, I know.

5:24 am

herinfernallady

I would at least they would be advanced as i loath most schools

5:25 am

Eva

okay-0ff to weboggle for a while.. See you later

5:25 am

Haz1558

Advanced in what way? You admit you can't do maths and that your spelling isn't always accurate. They're pretty basic skills.

5:25 am

herinfernallady

Enjoy Eva

5:25 am

lshult

can anyone help with the L's?

5:25 am

rolin

so is it a matter that the schools are bad or you dont like the system?..and would you pass your bias on to your child by home schooling?..and deprive them of the socialisation that school provides?

5:26 am

Haz1558

Ishult - lw4 and lw5 are two of them.

5:26 am

rolin

li6/21 is an enzym to desolve fat...i had to look it up in google

5:26 am

P.J.

my daughter home schooled my oldest grandson and noe he is 25 out in the world doing very well. That may not have happened if he had stayed in highschool:)

5:27 am

herinfernallady

the other half is the math nut i am good at English (not fantastic at spelling)I think the new school system is shocking. I was doing my friends year 10 English which i did in Grade 6

5:28 am

phandmd

There are plently of ways to socialise kids than sending them to school to fight it out with kids their own age. Most of society is not intermingling with only people of their own age group

5:28 am

rolin

*shaking head*...

5:28 am

herinfernallady

My friends son did year 7 catch up due to swapping schools in under 7 weeks

5:28 am

P.J.

my spelling and typing suck but I get by

5:28 am

granadan

all you get told at school is - we are not here to socialise

5:28 am

granadan

I homeschool min e too

5:29 am

rolin

and will you continue to do so for secondary?

5:30 am

granadan

yep

5:30 am

rolin

well good luck

5:30 am

granadan

mine i already working for hi gcse biology

5:30 am

granadan

I need a new keyboard!

5:30 am

herinfernallady

I was bullied from aged 6 to 18. As a present to my high school graduation i talked about locking them in a room and feeding them to hungry rotties

5:31 am

phandmd

Many colleges in the US are seeking out home schoolers because they are self motivated and high acheivers

5:31 am

P.J.

yahoo for home schooling! It is hard for the kids to learn from teachers not much older then themselves

5:31 am

rolin

and people wonder why its hard to get teachers...

5:31 am

herinfernallady

Phan i love your froggie

5:31 am

granadan

lols! ahem - in UK that is called socialisin herein

5:32 am

phandmd

thnx

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Because most kids arent given a boot in the butt when they are little toe rags. Its always 'not my little kid;

5:32 am

P.J.

me too Phan

5:32 am

rolin

granadan thats c***

5:33 am

lshult

ty everyone, at least I have 4 out of 5 L's

5:33 am

P.J.

so much for schooling,lets play ........lol

5:33 am

phandmd

It's hard to learn from teachers who can't control the class or that don't even know the subject matter

5:33 am

granadan

I dont agree rolin. Ive been through that system, had nmy child assaulted on way home from school and had a headteacher tell me that is ho ids learn... its howw they learn to be doormats

5:34 am

rolin

and the control problems..where do you reckon they stem from??...first of all its the fact that so many parents relinquish their responsibiklites by chansing the might $ or £..and buy their kids off so they can be left in peace..

5:35 am

rolin

nd then theres a justice system that tells kids all about their rights...but somehow neglect to instructin their responsibilities...and when teachers try to do this..the kids kick off...cos we're the only ones trying to do the job..

5:35 am

phandmd

That is true, but not every parent does so. I am a full time stay at home mom that used to homeschool

5:35 am

herinfernallady

I would like to get my pc fixed so i can skype

5:36 am

phandmd

all the more reason to school at home.

5:36 am

rolin

i have worked in both the uk and aus.. i know both systems... and i have experienced the sdtrangulation of both..

5:36 am

rolin

and when theyre at home youre bringing them up in a closetted world...

5:37 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear i seem to have opened pandora's box

5:37 am

granadan

I dont have any control problems. I take responsibility for my kids in every ay, educationally too, and everyone says what a decent, well mannered kid mine is. I dont disagree that schools AND teachers are hamstrung, but I dont intend to put my kids through that either. My kids are not closetted - on the bcontrary, we feel sorry for kids hose entire learning experience is in a dull classroom

5:37 am

rolin

sheez..i didnt realise just how much anger i have about the way teaching is viewed...i guess i had to get out to see it..i better go clean up ..up stairs...ill see ppl later

5:37 am

phandmd

You are very wrong there. As I said, there are many ways to get your kids out there. Group sports, field trips, co-ops

5:38 am

herinfernallady

I was raised on the ' wait till your father gets home method;

5:38 am

Haz1558

rolin - I sympathise, I really do. I hate to see people decrying the whole system of education just because there are difficulties in some areas.

5:38 am

rolin

yeah yeah..dull classroom.. thats right...always school is boring..stranslated...i dont get to do what i want when i want like i do at home..outa here..

5:39 am

phandmd

Rolin, it isn't aobut how I viewed teachers, it is the culture that caused me to homeschool

5:40 am

granadan

LOLs - my kids know more people than their schooled friends do. swimming, horse riding, shows, dancing, karate, ecology club, and the little toads nevber get to do what they want. They are home to learn and e love it. He knows more than his mates of the sdame age, that is for sure. Im sorry ou have met such poor homeschoolers, most are one to one tutors and thats got to be superior to one on thirty crowd control

5:40 am

herinfernallady

I have my 110percent backing on teachers it the blatant lack of respect that i have issues with

5:40 am

P.J.

there are so meany other ways to socialize don't you think? To much socializing in school creates a lot of problems.lol

5:41 am

granadan

teachers could do a good job if parents brought their kids up ith some values - but they dont.

5:41 am

granadan

like the bullied kid in our next village who hung himself over lon term school bllies who even the police couldnt stop

5:41 am

granadan

Im going to give up on this keyboard in a minute

5:42 am

5:43 am

5:43 am

6:16 am

herinfernallady

I keep seeing bedsit

6:16 am

Scrabbler

6:17 am

herinfernallady

poor kid

6:17 am

Karys

I have fostered some sad cases here

6:17 am

Scrabbler

But worse: my dear friend that gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby Oct 7th is dying of brain cancer and it is unbearable to lose her.

6:18 am

Karys

That is very sad Scrabbler, and very difficult to come to terms with.

6:18 am

Haz1558

I know, Scrabbler. It is unbearably sad for everyone.

6:18 am

carleekat

Oh Scrabbler, that is terrible. Such a difficult thing to go through

6:19 am

herinfernallady

6:19 am

lynxxx

6:19 am

herinfernallady

Oh Scrabbler i am so sorry

6:20 am

Scrabbler

The pathology report showed a very aggressive cancer and she is deteriorating. Mary is comfortable, at least when I left late last night. Her husband will get through this by focusing on his kids. So many of us will help him and the kids.

6:21 am

carleekat

6:21 am

Karys

lideola

Sorry to hear about your difficult times, Scrabbler. Both families are in my thoughts

6:22 am

Scrabbler

The oldest girl just turned 7, the boy is 3 and the baby is now 10 days old. Mary is a great mom, especially as she used to be a kindergarten teacher.

herinfernallady

Scrabbler

lynxxx

6:23 am

Karys

I always believe that things happen for a reason, but sometimes it's very hard to fathom what .

6:23 am

herinfernallady

that is so not fair

6:24 am

Karys

bye Haz

6:24 am

Becca Lorum

I'm sure your friend's husband appreciates all the support and help you can give. And your friend will appreciate it to, knowing that people love her and her family

6:24 am

herinfernallady

Door window. Angels come into this world so angels can go into the next

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Mary is an inspiration for all of us and we have all been touched by her. We must help the husband raise his kids and manage the home.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

The newborn IS such an angel.

Scrabbler

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Sorry to ask a really dumb question but is cous cous ok for cats?

6:29 am

Karys

sorry, herin, my cat's havn't ever tried it.

6:30 am

carleekat

herin... I don't see why not...some say is pasta..some say is a grain..either way... cannot hurt

6:30 am

lynxxx

I've never seen a cat eat grass so maybe not

6:31 am

herinfernallady

mmm i think she just took some out of my bowl. It had apricot sauce in it she has eaten curried sausages and lentils before.

6:31 am

lideola

as a meal, i would say no (doesn't have the right nutrition for cats), but just to give her some- sure- its just tiny little pastaish stuff

6:32 am

herinfernallady

I would only feed cat food to her or human meat raw but i didnt know about cous cous

6:33 am

lideola

cat food has grain in it, so i wouldn't be worried

6:33 am

herinfernallady

she isnt quite right

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Karys

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Ok i have the ST 7 36 its the st 7 32 i need help please

6:37 am

lynxxx

Infernal - the 2 I have are past tense of the words before - st5.12 + st4.4

6:37 am

lideola

use the word that begins with IN thats means to replace, like "Try this INST", but take away the IN and make the root past tense

6:37 am

herinfernallady

huh?

6:38 am

lideola

oh you got that one

6:38 am

Uneaixoise

tx, lideola!

6:38 am

lideola

the other uses the other S and means "mixed"

6:38 am

lynxxx

Infernal - then the one you want is past tense of st4.4

6:38 am

herinfernallady

i need to find that

6:39 am

Becca Lorum

6:39 am

lideola

6:39 am

herinfernallady

thanks thats not a word

6:40 am

lynxxx

at5.10 a + to bend or go off balance

6:40 am

lideola

kind of cockeyed Becca - a + off balance or leaning toward the side

6:40 am

lideola

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Mom

Hi Frances

7:37 am

herinfernallady

Or a pregnant dress which is such the crappy fashion at the mo

7:37 am

Jacula

Hello, Frances. I'm trying to diminish it not extend it. LOL

7:37 am

Frances

Me too Jac. Fighting a losing battle.

7:37 am

Mom

yes, it seems to expand with every passing day, month, year. :)

7:38 am

Frances

I blame the growing on all the rain we've had.

7:38 am

lynxxx

and only slightly embarassing whe you ask the girls wearing them how many more months they have to go - and they are NOT pregnant

7:38 am

EvaNadine

80 down, 81 to go!

7:38 am

Jacula

I think it's a design fault. LOL

7:39 am

Mom

Go get 'em Eva

7:39 am

herinfernallady

I love what Miss Midler said about exercise ' I keep trying to out run my arse but it keeps following me

7:39 am

Jacula

LOL, herin.

7:39 am

Mom

Around here, the trend is to continue wearing your regular closed and skip the maternity fashions all together.

7:40 am

Mom

clothes*

7:40 am

lynxxx

lol Infernal - she is a hoot!

7:40 am

Mom

I think I need an eye exam or typing lessions

7:41 am

lynxxx

Same her Mom - but the fashion for women here who are NOT pregnant is to wear dresses that look like they are

7:41 am

Jacula

I dunno, Mom. Sticking to the word 'closed' might have done away with the need for maternity wear. ;)

7:41 am

herinfernallady

I hate the new clothes I have been all through a major shop and there was no clothes. All the dresses are those hideous flowing numbers which i may has well have 'fat cow' on my forehead or too casual nothing elegant after five wear

7:41 am

Frances

LOL Jac

7:41 am

Mom

lol Jacula

7:41 am

Jacula

We did smock dresses and tops back in the early 70s. I do have a couple of the new style ones though.

7:42 am

Mom

I see a lot of the 70's fashions are returning

7:42 am

Jacula

60s, too, Mom. The prints are very retro.

7:43 am

Mom

I got an email from Simplicity patterns and the cover pattern reeked of the 70's, large lapels, herringbone fabric

7:43 am

Frances

Around here the girls try to get away with wearing as little as possible and wonder why they get the wrong type of attention.

7:43 am

herinfernallady

ALso what gives with the um is it called smocking the tops with elastic across the boob?

7:43 am

Mom

some 60's stuff is pretty neat

7:43 am

Mom

I love the 40's and 50's fashions

7:44 am

herinfernallady

Love the 40's stuff. I need a dress that i can wear that is elegant and 5 star hotel quality

7:44 am

lynxxx

that would be rucheing Infernal

7:44 am

herinfernallady

is it i dont know what its called but i dont like it

7:44 am

Frances

I know it as smocking infernal.

7:45 am

Mom

the smocked tops here barely cover the girls and they seem to enjoy that

7:45 am

herinfernallady

I dont like it is not right on adults with boobs

7:45 am

lynxxx

or the boys do anyway

7:45 am

Jacula

I like the 40s and 50s stuff, too. I hope 20s flapper dresses don't come back. I'm not binding my chest for anyone!

7:46 am

Mom

lol Jacula

7:46 am

herinfernallady

They wouldn't be enough binding for my boobs

7:46 am

Frances

I'd get in a right old flap over that one Jac.

7:46 am

Mom

I need to fashion a corset along the lines of what Scarlet O'Hara wore to suck this flab in

7:46 am

Jacula

Whole body corset job!

7:47 am

EvaNadine

time to go grab breakfast, before i become drowned in work!

7:47 am

herinfernallady

corsets are great but crappy for feasting

7:47 am

Jacula

We'd all have to get those 'winding machines' they used to use.

7:47 am

lynxxx

Atalante

she waits till she sits by me while I'm eating something she desperately wants. when I give her a tiny bit, she opens her mouth and this *curtain* of drool splashes everywhere

8:40 am

Judi

One of the Li5/10's sounds like the cat you miss + a consonant in the middle and pluralise it.

8:40 am

mrpresident

li + abbrev tasmania

bbnaz

8:44 am

Anniebrook

bbnaz....li + pin the ***l on the donkey

8:44 am

mrpresident

we could breed our darling doggie and have a couple of litters... then keep a pup to go on with the family ...
I so so so want another family of dogs! They are just delightful!

8:44 am

Anniebrook

bbnaz, kinney is adorable

8:44 am

Donny Osmond would be so hurt, Judi.

8:46 am

Atalante

have you been feeding him dog food, mrp?

8:46 am

Anniebrook

bb, so easy when I see it

8:46 am

Judi

You could invite muskrat suzie and muscrat sam over for tea!

8:46 am

Anniebrook

Hi Haz!

8:46 am

Atalante

does spangle drool, haz?

8:47 am

Haz1558

No, but she's not really allowed to beg for food, so maybe that helps.

8:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:48 am

Atalante

you're so cruel and mean to that dog LOL

8:48 am

licketySplitAUS

Nothing wrong with begging ;-) Bug with the pets it's best to ignore it.

8:48 am

Judi

Hiya, Haz. Anyone know what the 8 starts with?

8:48 am

Haz1558

I know, Atalante, we're constantly bothered with the cruelty people.

8:48 am

bbnaz

thanks annie. she is quite the girlie

8:48 am

Haz1558

be8/55, Judi.

8:49 am

licketySplitAUS

I take the stance of pack leader - respect is important

8:49 am

Kateq

the 8 is be 4/7 to the max

8:49 am

bbnaz

cesar milan would be proud of you lickety

8:50 am

Judi

Ty. Silly word.

8:50 am

licketySplitAUS

bbnaz - I love that show!

8:50 am

bbnaz

what he says and does is so true

8:50 am

mrpresident

I love the dog whisperer!!

8:51 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah - I felt really good after watching that show - but also learnt so much.

8:51 am

mrpresident

we have tried that with out doggie, and she has responded perfectly!

8:53 am

bbnaz

having grown up with dogs, it was just innate. i now look back and find it amusing when folks would ask me to "train" their dogs and I would explain that unless they did what I did, it wouldn't last. Little did I know that I was bonding with Cesar

8:55 am

mrpresident

nite nite all! lovely to see you guys!

8:55 am

Atalante

nite dear!

8:55 am

Haz1558

Good night mrpresident, sleep well.

8:55 am

licketySplitAUS

bbnaz - yeah it's great to see that show - for all those people we have observed as having 'no idea'. It's funny how we seem to learn how to treat dogs.

8:57 am

bbnaz

and how offended folks become when you try to help them. funny thing though, cesar seems to validate those of us who have done it all along.

8:57 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm off too, have a good grid. see ya at the flip

8:57 am

bbnaz

nite madame pres

8:58 am

Haz1558

Good night lickety.

8:58 am

bbnaz

thanks for your help lickety

8:59 am

Haz1558

Just reading back in the log - cats and dogs DO get senile.

9:00 am

Judi

Really, Haz? What might the symptoms be?

9:00 am

Haz1558

Getting cantankerous, confusion etc, much like humans.

9:02 am

Judi

Strange. I never really experienced that with a pet. Just old age things like illness, arthritis, incontinence, blindness, going deaf, etc.

9:04 am

Haz1558

I don't know whether it's because animals are living longer, or maybe that they have now put a name to something that was just dismissed as odd behaviour before.

9:04 am

harpjane

Good morning harpjane.

9:06 am

good afternoon everyone....

Lo, Harpjane!

Good afternoon Zen.

9:06 am

And Zenmed!

9:08 am

Ogdens Nut

Well the news is that a friend of mine knows Mr Haz!

9:09 am

Haz1558

Dear me.

9:09 am

harpjane

are there any rw words?

9:09 am

Ogdens Nut

Is that worrying, Haz?

9:10 am

Haz1558

There are no rw words.

9:10 am

Haz1558

It's surprising but not surprising at the same time. When I'm out with him, it's like EVERYONE knows him.

9:10 am

harpjane

what a relief

9:11 am

Atalante

small town incestuousness

9:12 am

Haz1558

So, do I get a clue as to the identity of your friend? Or the context?

9:13 am

Judi

Oooh. Another 6 degrees of Babble moment.

9:14 am

Ogdens Nut

Well, rest easy - she only had vey good words to say about him. "Oh, Mr Haz - lovely man"....

9:14 am

Haz1558

I must say, I agree with her. He is lovely.

9:15 am

Haz1558

He's put up with me for 25 years. The man is a saint....

9:15 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

9:15 am

Ogdens Nut

you must have good taste then Haz - Babble & Hubby....

9:15 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori - you're late joining us today?

9:16 am

LoriP

I was s'posed to be working, but the days plan fell throuugh, so I have the rest of the day to screw off, er I mean catch up on housework.

9:17 am

Haz1558

I do, Zen. He can't understand my addiction to the game but doesn't grumble.

9:17 am

Haz1558

Oh, housework catching up. The best fun a girl can have.

9:18 am

LoriP

Yah, and I'm always so worried about our level of neatness...... :-)

9:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, I always get that vibe from you, Lori.

9:19 am

Ogdens Nut

You could be addicted to worse, Haz

9:19 am

LoriP

LOL Yah, you read me like a book haz. :-) Quiet crowd today. What a studious group!

9:19 am

Haz1558

This is very true, Zen.

1:19 pm

bbnaz

aahh. my family used to raise them a long time ago

1:20 pm

Uneaixoise

I had cousins in Louisiana who raised black and white springers--so beautiful--I just love spaniels of any kind!

1:20 pm

bbnaz

they just don't live long enough for me so I switched breeds

1:20 pm

bbnaz

to australian shepherds

1:21 pm

Uneaixoise

my mom got her springer from a man who had adopted him, then developed allergies--too bad for him but great for my mom!

1:21 pm

Atalante

spaniels are woooonderful

1:21 pm

bbnaz

once however there was an accidental breeding between my brother's springer and my aussie and we had "Springing Aussies"

1:21 pm

Uneaixoise

really, bbnaz? My springer lived to almost 16

1:21 pm

bbnaz

ours never seemed to go much past 12/13

1:21 pm

bbnaz

maybe it was the desert

1:22 pm

Uneaixoise

jeez, bbnaz, major hyperness, eh?!

1:22 pm

bbnaz

they actually were pretty nice pups. My brother insisted that his dog wasn't responsible despite the fact that every puppy had spaniel ears........

1:23 pm

Uneaixoise

here's my springer when he was a baby :-)

1:23 pm

bbnaz

just think, if we did that now, we could sell them as "designer" dogs instead of an accidental breeding.

1:23 pm

Uneaixoise

true!

1:24 pm

Atalante

darling boy!

1:24 pm

bbnaz

dang he is cute!

1:24 pm

Uneaixoise

ata, his mom's name was Jenny and I told my daughter Jennifer that she was named after her . . .

1:24 pm

bbnaz

i remember all of those springer litters as a child. we would name them and then be heartbroken when they went to their new homes

1:25 pm

Uneaixoise

I remember when my mom's springer Rosebud had a litter of NINE--soooo much fun!

1:26 pm

Uneaixoise

here's mine as a "grownup"

1:27 pm

Atalante

awwwwwwwwwwwwww!

1:28 pm

the last one we had in our family belonged to my dad. His name was Boone (for Daniel of course). He was a rescue.

2:53 pm

mike143708

hey, can someone explain the shorthand to me? not sure what "sa5/14" means, for example

2:54 pm

movieman

Pretty good, FMitch, a damn sight better than Apocalypse, that's for sure (but then, Russell Mulcahy would have had to perform a major massacre on Extinction for it NOT to have been better than Apocalypse)

2:54 pm

FMitch

1st 2 letters of the word, 5 letters long and then No of points.

2:55 pm

movieman

mike, sa5/14 means that the first 2 letters of the word are sa, it is 5 letters long and is worth 14 points

2:55 pm

Sandieangel

aha = got it

2:55 pm

Atalante

the only good bit about Apocalypse was ODded Fehr

2:55 pm

mike143708

6:38 pm

lideola

ok last word- the di 6... is the 3rd letter a vowel or consonent?

6:39 pm

Jacula

di6/24, lideola, sounds like what we in UK call a 'nappy'.

6:39 pm

lideola

mkg- it sounds like slang for someone who gambles money

6:39 pm

Jacula

3rd letter is a vowel.

6:39 pm

mkg

what a baby wears on its bottom, but change last vowel.

6:39 pm

lideola

ty firworks

6:39 pm

mkg

gambler??????????

6:40 pm

mkg

6:41 pm

mkg

6:41 pm

Jacula

be5/14 = Miss Midler + vowel.

6:41 pm

Jacula

6:41 pm

Jacula

Back in a mo. Just off to check the tumble dryer has removed all the bits of tissue off my last load of washing. Grr.

6:43 pm

stidmama

bye mkg

6:44 pm

lideola

ok i have no idea what to make of the video today

6:44 pm

lideola

its certainly entertaining

6:44 pm

lideola

anyone need cluing?

6:44 pm

stidmama

well, I have 68 to go lideola... I'll tell you in about 90 minutes! LOL

6:45 pm

stidmama

yesterday's was interesting... my kid enjoyed it but it wasn't really my "thing"

6:45 pm

lideola

6:46 pm

stidmama

yes, that was it. kid didn't know who it was!

6:47 pm

lideola

ah just tell him it was the original Jackie Chan

6:47 pm

lideola

or Jet Li

6:47 pm

Jacula

I'm back. After a 20 min blast in the dryer on the coolest setting every shred of tissue is now off the clothes and in the lint trap. Phew!! Now I can dry them on the airer.

6:48 pm

lideola

isn't that the pits Jacula?

6:48 pm

stidmama

sounds like neither child will be getting any privileges today *sigh* parenting stinks

6:49 pm

Jacula

Lid - qhwn you leave a tissue in a pocket? Sure is. The tumble dryer trick saves ages of dabbing at clothes with sticky tape wrapped around your hand or using a lint roller.

6:49 pm

stidmama

is the be 8 a compound word?

6:49 pm

Jacula

*when (not qhwn! Is that Chinese? LOL)

6:49 pm

lideola

oh, the alien that abducted my children and left ghoulish golems in their place yesterday has come to your house today stid?

6:49 pm

Jacula

stid - No. It's a superlative of a necklace component.

6:50 pm

stidmama

thanks jacula

6:50 pm

lideola

no stid, but you might have to twist the word in a different direction than you were looking at

6:50 pm

SamanthaJoy

does anyone have a clue for the last de 6 handy?

6:51 pm

Jacula

Samantha - last de6 is another word for rubbish or litter.

6:51 pm

Jacula

(Often used to describe bits left around after a violent storm.)

6:51 pm

SamanthaJoy

No, that's the first one. Unless that's trus of both?

6:51 pm

lideola

i think its the other one Jac- the one that rhymes with the carnival Wheel

6:52 pm

lideola

its only 1 letter different from the rubbish

6:52 pm

Jacula

Sam - Sorry. Last de6 is an insecticide dust. Rhymes with fairground ride fe**** wheel.

6:52 pm

stidmama

got it, thanks jac and lid

6:52 pm

SamanthaJoy

OK, that gave me what I needed to monkey it. Thanks so much.

Weboggle now has a new beta version but I can't get it to register me.:(

6:55 pm

Guten Abend babblers, I have updated my icon. So from now on you can look up all German words I throw into the chat in this dictionary!! :)

6:55 pm

6:56 pm

stidmama

6:56 pm

lideola

i really need to move... the 2 armored truck guards that were killed happened about 5 minutes from my house, and now a high speed police chase (bank robbers) crashed about 3 blocks away... the helicopters (or ghetto birds) have been hovering all afternoon/evening

6:56 pm

SamanthaJoy

Fireworks, and i'm outta here--thanks for your help, all

6:56 pm

Jacula

y/w, Samantha.

6:57 pm

inge

I am fine. Took my last group of German tourists thru Detroit and Henry Ford Museum yesterday. Hapag Lloyd will no longer bring German tourists to the US because of the border restrictions

6:58 pm

Jacula

Oh dear, lideola. We had our high street in our little village all closed off on Sunday morning due to a 15-yr-old getting his skull caved in on the Saturday night.

6:58 pm

lideola

oh what a shame Jac

6:59 pm

stidmama

that is too bad inge, sehr schade!

6:59 pm

inge

And I used to think that Detroit was the REALLY dangerous place

6:59 pm

stidmama

YAY samantha, btw!

6:59 pm

stidmama

oh lideola and jac, what horrible things!

7:00 pm

stidmama

I don't like cities....

7:00 pm

lideola

i love them... but i have 2 little children, and i don't want them exposed to these things... i want to be outside with them and not worry about tripping and falling on broken glass at the playground

7:01 pm

inge

I love our current location, halfways between Ann Arbor and Detroit. Wooded area, so we cant see any othr houses most of the year

7:02 pm

stidmama

the last DE 6/21 please?

7:02 pm

hurshy

i have won my first online scrabble game!

7:02 pm

hurshy

now i gotta finish this grid!

7:02 pm

Jacula

lideola - our village is the sort of place that people say, 'Where?' when you say its name... because there's a by-pass road and to people mostly ... pass by. The only time we seem to get in the news is for bad things... a hostage situation where the police ended up shooting the hostage instead of the hostage taker, a hammer attack right by the police station, an armed seige right by my house, a machete attack in the now demolished local pub that left a man with no hands, another hammer attack, and now what looks like much the same again (thump on head with blunt instrument).

7:02 pm

stidmama

YAY hurshy!!!! **WOOT**

7:03 pm

lideola

that is the one that rhymes with the big Wheel ride at the carnival

7:03 pm

lideola

7:03 pm

Jacula

I don't even live in the city! I'm 10 miles from the nearest and 20 from the one in the other direction.

7:46 pm

pam

stid, glad that the tylenol is working! yay!

7:46 pm

the be 8 is so not a word

7:46 pm

it is so, describes the eyes of one who is the most envious....

7:46 pm

Jacula

It is, AK! Think 'the best eyesight'.

7:47 pm
