speaking of ambrosia dc (even if we weren't), do they make it with shredded pineapple, marshmallows and walnuts in your parts?

2:07 am

herinfernallady

Yep need to put on my armored butt i think

2:07 am

FranMag

that's my favorite kind

2:07 am

sprite

omg Fran, that sounds criminally delicious

2:08 am

dcseain

chunk pineapple, marhmallow, shredded coconut, and walnuts is a common combo, usually in a base of raspberry gelatin and cream.

2:08 am

FranMag

that's just part of it, add whipped cream sprite and bits of gelatin.

2:09 am

dcseain

i've never had shredded pineapple. i'll have to buy one and try it.

2:09 am

sprite

oh... I hate whipped cream. But the rest sounds great. Real food for the gods.

2:09 am

FranMag

no raspberry in this one, it stays white with flecks of yellow.

2:09 am

dcseain

oh, that sounds incer

2:09 am

dcseain

definitely will give that a go.

2:10 am

dcseain

sprite, puree tofu in a food processor with powdered sugar and vanilla to taste to make a lovely vegan substitute for whipped cream.

2:10 am

dcseain

i have a tofu-based pumpkin pie i make also.

2:10 am

FranMag

they have it in the grocery delis here, but everytime i get it i'm disappointed. the parties back home always had great desserts.

2:10 am

herinfernallady

sigh

2:11 am

dcseain

oh, must add some oil to the fake cream too, i use rapeseed usually.

2:11 am

FranMag

you okay infernal?

2:11 am

sprite

does it taste really different, dc?

2:11 am

FranMag

brb

2:12 am

dcseain

it's similar to, but not exactly like the real thing. I puree the tofu and oil to the consistency i want, then add vanilla and sugar.

2:12 am

herinfernallady

just had to go grumble at someone that was rude. THe issue is my neighbour uses our green bin which i have had to put inside our fence

2:12 am

dcseain

sometimes i'll add a hint of maple syrup

2:12 am

sprite

whipped cream really puts me off, cannot eat it.

2:12 am

dcseain

texture or flavour, sprite?

all good, we all have our things food-wise. :)

2:14 am

FranMag

2:15 am

herinfernallady

It was a random person dumping a can in the green bin (um leaves) otherday someone dumped shoes in our recycling, dog poo in our bin so know all three are in the front yard and they are ugly to look at

2:15 am

dcseain

lady, do we get the punchline?

2:15 am

sprite

I don't think so, but I never tried, Fran

2:15 am

sprite

at some point we will, dc :)

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Dc Vinallia slice - Its like pastry and custard

2:16 am

seasonal affective disorder contributed to by a lack of sunlight and melanin production

2:33 am

sprite

will ask my doctor about it, thanks for the tip.

2:33 am

BabbleRabble

each year about this time I do two things. first, I talk about increasing meds or using a sunlamp

2:34 am

sprite

a sunlamp, now that is a good idea! And second?

2:34 am

BabbleRabble

and I write down what has contributed to the stress and expectations of xmas

2:35 am

BabbleRabble

a sunlamp and an increase in meds works better for me

2:35 am

BabbleRabble

I share with those that expect and remind myself what happened long ago does not have to haunt me now

2:37 am

BabbleRabble

and then I plot a course that accommodates my need to be alone.

2:37 am

sprite

that sounds good, BabbleRabble. I would handle it better if it were not necessary to celebrate it abundantly for the kids... I am more happy with a lot of candles, no tree, and no special meals, but quiet or music that calms me, and lots of introspection.

2:39 am

sprite

hey, so you need to be alone as well in those days? I'd love to spend Xmas in solitude, just allowing the tiny spark of light to be born into the darkest of nights.

2:39 am

BabbleRabble

christmas for many reasons was not a happy time

2:39 am

sprite

thank you very much for reaching out to me and sharing this. I appreciate it very very much.

2:39 am

BabbleRabble

but that was then and this is now

2:40 am

sprite

same here... it is important for me to learn to leave the past in the past.

2:40 am

BabbleRabble

I can choose an accommodation among competing demands

2:41 am

jillibus

sprite -- see http://tinyurl.com/4r8xg -- and if you google seasonal affective disorder there are many other sites

2:41 am

sprite

you have struggled through a lot, that speaks clearly from your words. I hope I can learn to be able to choose as well, in time.

2:44 am

sprite

thanks to you too, jilli, good link. Will go see my doctor about med increase and light. And of course continue to work on the memory-related issues.

2:47 am

BabbleRabble

I wrote a letter to the editor complaining about an editorial and received a response suggesting I was a few columns short of a page.

4:26 am

Mom

I would imagine so

4:26 am

dcseain

4:27 am

my friend nancy reposted a filk on Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love: http://tinyurl.com/2fqbc7

5:02 am

mrpresident

very cool! I do alot of poetry and writing myself. Would love to share it

5:03 am

dcseain

Suzette Haden Elgin does some of her writing through LJ. We helped her edit some of her poems for her recently publist 21 Novel Scienc Fiction Poems. She's ozarque on LJ.

5:04 am

dcseain

she writes about eldering, linguistics, sci-fi, mostly. had a nice series about her fear of cows a while back.

5:05 am

dcseain

did a nice series entitled "My Life as a Martian", about her time in France with her first husband, who was French.

5:05 am

mrpresident

oh very interesting! :)

5:06 am

dcseain

and she has a fabulous community of readers and commenters.

5:06 am

dcseain

she's one of the journals through which i've forged some relationships, and cemented a few others.

5:08 am

dcseain

you can set up a free account on LJ if you'd like to try it out, or they have a level that lets you see ads for more functionlity

5:08 am

dcseain

i pay the US$20/yr for full functionality and no ads.

5:08 am

dcseain

hm. supervisor is late, she's usually here at 6. Traffic must be bad due to the rain.

5:09 am

mrpresident

how do you invite people to be a friend?

5:10 am

dcseain

basically, let them know you're there. Many of us dislike their use of 'friend', as really, one is subscribing to the journal, and using friend really loads the 'unfriending' in a bad way when one dumps a subscriber.

5:10 am

dcseain

when i first set up my account, i commented in other's journals, and didn't post for about 4 months.

5:11 am

dcseain

but, everyone is different, so your mileage/methodology may vary :)

5:12 am

Sandieangel

Hi can anyone give me a heads up on that er7 plz?

5:13 am

mrpresident

oh fair enough! will do

5:14 am

dcseain

er7, mistake + wh5/20 -w

5:15 am

dcseain

mrp, do friend me if you sign up

5:16 am

Sandieangel

ah - ty I got it now.

5:16 am

dcseain

oh, glad to hear, sandie.

5:16 am

dcseain

you found the fu8s

5:19 am

dcseain

i like the way the fish look, i think i'll make it into a journal icon, maybe for my nature posts, though mostly i go to the mountains to hike/camp.

5:19 am

mrpresident

am signed up

5:23 am

mrpresident

will come back to it tomorrow. Need to start this grid and then head off to bed

5:23 am

dcseain

cool!

5:23 am

dcseain

if you go to my info page, there are some icons in a row, the rightmost one lets you friend me.

5:23 am

dcseain

leftmost, sorry

5:23 am

mrpresident

will do dcs!

5:36 am

dcseain

i here for a bit if any of yall need clues.

5:37 am

Sandieangel

yes plz - that last li4/6 - just can't monkey it.

5:38 am

dcseain

hm

5:39 am

dcseain

li*seed, sometimes vowel

5:41 am

dcseain

or, remove 2nd vowel from the 5 before it.

5:41 am

Sandieangel

oh ty dcseain - I never thought of doing that!

5:43 am

dcseain

i, OTOH, had trouble w/the 5, as keeping that vowes did not occur to me.

5:43 am

dcseain

or that vowel, even

5:48 am

lideola

i officially declare the wh combo utterly ridiculous

5:48 am

lideola

and good morning everyone

5:49 am

dcseain

morning, lideola, and i concur

5:49 am

Sandieangel

Hey lideola!!!!

5:49 am

Sandieangel

Oh haven't got to the wh combo yet.

5:51 am

lideola

its a silly yet mind taxing combo, i have 2 left that i have abandoned for later

5:52 am

Sandieangel

ah well at least I know that I need to look for something weird then!

5:52 am

dcseain

i'm happy to clue if you desire, lideola

5:53 am

Sandieangel

I'd be glad to accept the clue as well dcseain!

5:53 am

lideola

ty- no need now- just doing my initial run through, i start to panic when i open up Lickety and still can't get the words. Thanks for the offer!

5:53 am

dcseain

the Ws were odd today, normally, i finish that letter first, today it was among the last.

5:53 am

Sandieangel

that is for the weird wh combo.

5:53 am

dcseain

:)

5:54 am

dcseain

wi5/18 threw me for a loop

5:55 am

dcseain

ah! It's Irish English, hence, it's odd to me.

5:56 am

lideola

i wonder if the similar si is irish english

5:56 am

lideola

i am morefamiliar with the si

5:57 am

dcseain

the si has no definition according to dictionary.com and google

5:57 am

lideola

yeah, i am more used to seeing it with an h at the end

5:57 am

dcseain

dictionary suggest sie*** nevada.

5:58 am

bonkler

si is an archaic form of address to a gentleman

5:59 am

bonkler

h is an option

5:59 am

lideola

so glad that babble is around to keep the archaic and obsolete words alive!

6:00 am

BabbleRabble

obsolete —used as a form of address implying inferiority in the person addressed

6:00 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

6:01 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, Lori.... please remember milk spelled backwards is klim

6:02 am

lideola

6:02 am

dcseain

6:02 am

LoriP

Ahh BR, you are a breath of fresh air. Remember, that Mom spelt backwards, is Mom.

6:03 am

LoriP

Later dc, have a good one.

6:04 am

BabbleRabble

6:06 am

BabbleRabble

I think that would be moM

6:06 am

LoriP

I stand corrected.

6:17 am

LoriP

Well, that was something. The big grid is waaaaay overdue.

6:18 am

lideola

i wouldn't mind if the big grid waited until after halloween to make its appearance. Congrats LoriP

6:19 am

LoriP

LOL I just hope the big grid is on my day off lideola. :-)

Hello Haz

6:48 am

Haz1558

Hello Biltong - haven't seen you around so much since you got back from SA.

6:49 am

Biltong

Been quite busy. Also been down with a bad ear infection. But should have more time available from now on. I have been checking on the grid most days.

6:50 am

Haz1558

The ear infection doesn't sound too good. Did it affect your balance?

6:51 am

flosey

good morning all

6:51 am

Biltong

Yes. It is just an awful sensation. Also had what felt like "electric shocks" going through my body. It really wasn't fun.

6:51 am

Haz1558

Good morning flosey.

6:51 am

Biltong

Morning flosey

6:52 am

Haz1558

Karys

Just came in at the right time here....thank you Haz !!!

6:58 am

Biltong

thank you, Haz

6:58 am

Haz1558

Hello Karys - strange that the 8s are fairly normal for such an unusual looking grid.

6:59 am

Karys

I can't seem to get going again after my first flurry ( oo, thats not there is it ? )

7:00 am

Haz1558

No flurry, but lots of spinning about.

7:00 am

Karys

got several of those !

7:00 am

Karys

dreadful news about those little boys on the motorway

7:01 am

Haz1558

I've been out, Karys, what happened?

7:02 am

Karys

Two little boys, 6 and 7, pushing their scooters across the motorway in the dark, yesterday evening.

7:03 am

Haz1558

Good gracious! Were they killed?

7:03 am

Karys

yes, hit by three cars

7:03 am

Atalante

HIT BY 3 CARS

7:03 am

Atalante

ooooops sorry, sily put caps lock on

7:03 am

Haz1558

I don't need to hear any more.... Isn't that horrendous?

7:03 am

Uniquity

Three cars....Wow. Not a single person could see them?

7:04 am

Biltong

How awful!

7:04 am

Karys

Just so dreadful

7:04 am

Uniquity

And was no-one watching them at all?

7:04 am

Karys

Just out playing Uniquity

7:05 am

Haz1558

Motorways are very fast, Uniquity, they shouldn't have been anywhere near.

7:05 am

Uniquity

I understand that you can't always watch kids, i've been watching my brothers for years...but they never get to play near a road, let alone a motorway.

7:06 am

Karys

Apparently they had been warned about the motorway

7:06 am

Haz1558

You're right, Uniquity. It's horrible.

7:06 am

Atalante

I think kids get a bit more autonomy here. There was a wood between their houses and the motorway, and they went adventuring in the woods, like usual. Just somehow ended up by the motorway

7:07 am

Uniquity

That's horrifying. My heart goes out to all involved.

7:07 am

LoriP

Wow, I picked a terrible time to pop in. that breaks my heart.

7:08 am

Karys

Yes, Uniquity, you have to feel for the drivers too

7:08 am

Karys

sorry. Lori, it was my fault, it's just that the news in on at the moment.

7:08 am

LoriP

Untimely, but Congrats on yet another grid completion #1!

7:08 am

bfsog

7:11 am

flosey

7:11 am

Uniquity

Hey, I gave this to you in the first place...I just have less skill. So far.

Karys

Congrats to Uniquity too then !!!

7:12 am

7:13 am

LoriP

'Yer welcome, and g'd morning!

7:15 am

LoriP

Scarlet

Good morning, all. I am so sorry to hear that mrp... *sending loving thoughts to Australia*... One door closes and another opens. You two are so brave.

8:39 am

FMitch

Wow very hard to reach that point but well done for taking that path!

8:40 am

FMitch

Hello Scarlet!

8:41 am

Scarlet

Hello FMitch!! :-) How be thee this fine Autumn morning?

8:41 am

hey all

8:41 am

Scarlet

HI, Lynn!

8:41 am

Jayde287

clue for ai 7/28?

8:42 am

bbnaz

shithers mrp. remember, keep on breathing and just pick em up and put em down. This too shall pass and you should find yourself in a lovely place when you get through this portion.

8:42 am

Scarlet

This accomodates people who like to fly, Jayde.

8:42 am

FMitch

Grey and drizzly here but I dream the bright colours of fall :)

8:42 am

Scarlet

Nice, FM... We have had some blessed rain for two days... just enough to stave off statewide emergency measures.

8:43 am

Jayde287

Thanks Scarlet

8:43 am

Marc Freeman

What you fly on Jayde

8:43 am

Scarlet

You're welcome, Jayde!

8:43 am

mrpresident

I completely blame myself for this situation. I have been sick for over 15 years.
We have come to a conclusion that as I can't work, we have to sell as single income doesn't work in Australia.
I so wish I wasn't sick, but my children come first and I will do anything to protect their future and education

8:44 am

bbnaz

Well it does no good to blame yourself for something that you didn't choose so stop whipping yourself. Just keep moving forward the very best you can and it should come out right in the end.

8:44 am

Scarlet

You are the epitome of what excellent parenting is all about, mrp... you cannot take any burden of guilt for what life has dealt you... you and your husband are dear, dear people.

8:46 am

richp

How many words, today? Anyone?

8:46 am

pabtrek

i agree with bbnaz and Scarlet

8:46 am

Scarlet

I was "lurking" the other day and saw your spectacular rant about the trainwreck of Britney Spears and the obligations of motherhood, the stunned reaction to her losing her children, and your outrage over her appalling lack of mothering instincts... that said it all.

8:47 am

pabtrek

118 rich

Dont waste energy on blame esp when there is none.
Use yr energy for going forwards.

8:47 am

harvey

mrp I hardly ever chat, but what you have just said made me feel so sad. Don't be unkind to yourself, children remember good parents, fun times and lots of love and kisses, tomorrow is another day I hope it it brings you peace and kindness.

8:48 am

Scarlet

Beautifully said, harvey.

8:48 am

Atalante

yes, mrp, you are the absolute epitome of motheringness. I can't imagine that you should take any blame and I'm sure everyone will tell you that, over and over again

8:49 am

FMitch

Hi harvey nice to 'see' you :)

8:49 am

mkg

clue for er 7?

8:50 am

bbnaz

put the german river on the end

8:50 am

Scarlet

mkg, I think pabtrek clued it earlier as ER+ famous German river.

8:50 am

mkg

mrp, from auction will you be able to buy a townhouse or other place? that is key.

8:50 am

pabtrek

wasn't me

8:50 am

bbnaz

twas me

8:51 am

mrpresident

I have been struggling with the idea of the 'sinking feeling' we have been having.
I have felt that we are crashing to earth with an amazing thud... Lickety has done all he can to keep us from this.
I feel so much for him cause as a man, it can be a massive feeling of failure.
I know it is me that has brought us here. All I want is to be together and more than anything, to be healthy for my kids.
I hope we are ok, and I know we will do what we can to have a happy home, no matter where we lay our roots

8:51 am

FMitch

You will be surprised how better you two will feel as the mill stone of decidion and worry is slowly lifted away.

8:51 am

Scarlet

Good one, bbnaz! Sorry, I misappropriated the cluing... :-)

8:52 am

mrpresident

after the auction, we will have nothing more than medical bills to pay.... after 8 years, it is all we have

8:52 am

Marc Freeman

el5/16, please?

8:52 am

bbnaz

stop it mrp. stop it now. he is no failure. since when is a structure the evidence of success or failure? you two have lovely children who will be the long term beneficiaries.

8:52 am

harvey

Now I have started I guess I should say hi all, I am a mad babbler but a silent lurker in the chat, every now and then something just makes me pour it all out. Enjoy reading the days goings on when I have time it usually makes me laugh but mrp sounded so sad. Take care all, you never know I may turn into a chatter yet!!!

8:52 am

bbnaz

orlando bloom like in lord of the rings (someone else's earlier clue)

8:53 am

mrpresident

I feel so sad for my family.

8:53 am

FMitch

Come and chat any time harvey, the more the merrier :)

8:53 am

pabtrek

that was me bb

8:53 am

triplebock

i don't talk much here either, but i am really sorry to hear about all of this mrp...

8:53 am

bbnaz

marc -- did you get that clue?

8:54 am

amelu0218

el... to have pointy ears yet not be a Vulcan...

8:54 am

tuco

mrp keep your chin up. Mom01 and I went through bankruptcy 10 years ago. Best thing we ever did. It is only money

8:54 am

Marc Freeman

yes bbnaz just looking for it now

8:55 am

triplebock

i went through katrina - everyone in my family lsot everything...things take time but if you keep your chin up things will eventually find a way of working out.

8:55 am

bbnaz

so we traded clues there pabtrek ;~)

8:55 am

tuco

We are stronger now financially and emotionally and as a couple than we ever were. All the cliches are true. Always darkest before the dawn... etc. It will get better

8:55 am

Biltong

Hello to everyone. I am also not a regular chatter anymore, but love to "listen in" on everyone :) and to mrpresident, you will get through this all!

8:56 am

Marc Freeman

Got it thanks, I have to jump in here and I am late to the whole story but MrP you are well loved and if you need something you should let us know and maybe all of us Babbler can pitch in something.

8:56 am

mrpresident

I would pray every day that we keep our house.... now it is being sold.
If only shit hadn't happened.
There are many out there who are worse off, so I will keep my chin up and know we are glued together and our seams are bound by love

8:56 am

bbnaz

specially since lickety's saved my sorry arse more than once -- in his own fashion

8:57 am

Biltong

wow, triplebock. Well done! Always keep your chin up!

8:57 am

mrpresident

thank you so much marc! you are so generous and kind! all of your are wonderful and extremely generous!
We will move ahead and see how we fair. Thank you all! :)

8:58 am

triplebock

i just found out yesterday (everybody scattered everywhere) that a girl i went t o HS with - her husband was killed in teh storm. i looked around and was just so thankful that we all survived. makes you realize what is important...you know?

8:58 am

Biltong

Good outlook, mrpresident. Stay positive.

8:58 am

mrpresident

oh so pleased you all came through triplebock! Bless you all

8:58 am

Biltong

exactly, triplebock. Bless you.

8:59 am

triplebock

same to all of you...

9:00 am

Biltong

Is that your dog, mrp? Gorgeous!

9:00 am

mrpresident

I do have a beautiful life, cause I am loved unconditionally by my husband, my children and my family (especially my dad!).
Without that, I have nothing. So am am grateful

9:00 am

amelu0218

triplebock, where are you?

9:01 am

mrpresident

yes biltong... my Vixie! she is a shetland sheep dog and adorable to boot!

9:02 am

triplebock

i lived in new orleans my whole life...then the storm :( i tried to stick around for a few months and rebuild but it gets very depressing seeing the damage...i am now in the houston area...medical care in NOLA is hard to come by still...hospitals are still closed and doctors also lost their homes...

9:02 am

Biltong

She really is a lovely looking dog :)

9:02 am

mrpresident

I would never in my life have believed the love of a dog. She is our baby.

9:02 am

mrpresident

oh tbock! that is just awful for you all!

9:03 am

triplebock

i still have nightmares...it still looks like a warzone down there outside of the tourist areas...

9:03 am

mrpresident

my kids consider her like a sister! Is that truly possible?? They love her like a person

9:04 am

triplebock

yes, that is possible! dogs are wonderful companions and family members!

9:05 am

amelu0218

I understand. I live/work in S. MS (shipyards) and have co-workers who lost everything. I am fortunate that my home is further inland and only suffered wind damage. I've only been over that way (NOLA) since the storm and it is still looks like it was bombed...

9:06 am

triplebock

i really miss S MS....esp. gulfport and biloxi, used to go to waveland for day trips...i was too afraid to go abck to see...i wish i had some time so I could go on a trip to help that area rebuild. i am glad to hear that you were OK, amelu...

9:06 am

mrpresident

oh tbock! I just pray for those people and hope their lives come back together with some resemblance of love and respect! It is so so sad what they have been through.
I think of them often

9:06 am

Scarlet

Mrpresident, I am totally behind the superb idea of MarcFreeman... as a community, we can bond together to offer some type of small help... one grain of sand, alone, is miniscule... but in bulk, it surrounds the seven seas... don't be too proud to enquire... you never know the outcome until you start the process.

9:06 am

Marc Freeman

fu7/44, please?

9:07 am

mrpresident

oh scarlet! You are just beautiful to think of helping! Thank you!

9:07 am

amelu0218

Marc, ceremony for the dearly departed.

9:07 am

*Love to you and your family*

9:08 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

9:09 am

pabtrek

have 28 left, going to the list

9:10 am

mrpresident

I promise you marc and scarlet, if we are in a position where my children are suffering due to finances, I will certainly ask for help... I have learnt this time around, don't be too proud to give and receive.
My kids are incredibly good and loving. They are all I think about

9:10 am

amelu0218

tbock, I still haven't been to the Pass or Waveland. I don't have the heart. Just driving through North Biloxi makes me want to weep...

9:11 am

Scarlet

That's what I needed to hear, dear mrp.... remember you said that! :-)

9:11 am

triplebock

i really feel positive about your area, amelu. i really think that the people out your way have a lot of heart and they will come back stronger...in time...if they can rebuild after camille, they can do it after katrina...

9:11 am

Biltong

sorry, I had to step away for a moment. mrp, on the subject of dogs, i will send you a mail shortly, which I hope you will enjoy.

9:12 am

mrpresident

thank you biltong :)

Hi, Nono!! :-)

9:13 am

triplebock

GM!

9:13 am

amelu0218

The scary part was that so many people tried to ride the storm out becuase they had been through Camille... I stayed but like I said, I only had tornados (wind) to worry about... Do you know where Vancleave is?

9:13 am

NonoNanette

MrP I read back on your plight and I am so very sorry about your house but PLEASE dont place the blame on yourself for something you had no control over

9:14 am

harpjane

good morning, where's our HUGE puzzle?

9:15 am

NonoNanette

morning harp, it's still lurking out there somewhere in the future

9:15 am

Scarlet

Still in the creative stages, I guess, Harp... good morning!

9:15 am

triplebock

i re. seeing the exits for vancleave from 10...is it north of 10?

9:15 am

mrpresident

you know what I love more than anything?
My children coming to me and giving me 'maddie' and 'lukie' cuddles and kisses. they last for about 15 minutes and they tell me how much they love me and that I am the bestest mum in the whole world, that they are so lucky to have me as a mum... that all their friends love me too and they would never ever see themselves with another mum cause I am the bestest greatest mum in the whole universe!
they love me to the moon and back and 10000000 million times around the universe.
I cry every night.

9:15 am

Jayde287

Personally I like the smaller ones!

9:15 am

Scarlet

LOL... great minds, yadda, yadda, Nono

9:15 am

amelu0218

mrp, God bless you. My house burnt to the ground in '93 and my son and I lost everything (except each other and the car). We were renters and had no insurance. I know that you can overcome this hurdle in your life and you'll be amazed at how much better off you are in a year's time...

9:16 am

NonoNanette

Your children are your most important assets MrP

9:16 am

mrpresident

oh thank you amelu!!
I truly believe we will be better off! My kids will make sure of that! They are angels!

9:17 am

Scarlet

Oh, amelu... you have been through Hades and back... you have the most wonderful attitude! *Hugs to you*

9:18 am

amelu0218

Yes, about 6 miles north of I-10. And my home is on a hill... LOL! *digs toe in dirt, blushing* Aw, y'all are just too sweet.

9:18 am

mrpresident

Amelu has the hand of angels in her/his! blessing be to you!

9:18 am

triplebock

wow, amelu!

9:19 am

amelu0218

Hey, one thing I can definitely say is that I've had an eventful life... hasn't always been fun, but I've yet to find a challenge I can't overcome. LOL!

9:19 am

mrpresident

hi nono! thanks darling! They are great

9:20 am

Jayde287

clue for fi 6/33?

9:20 am

triplebock

on a good note, amelu, i bet people really want to live up by you now to get away from future storm surges? maybe it will help property values by you?

9:20 am

NonoNanette

We all face moments in our lives when it seems to much to overcome but in the end it all works out and things improve

9:20 am

Scarlet

It is truly amazing how we are able to make sense, retroactively, of events in our lives. Looking back, there were years of seriously damaging events, and now, I thank my maker for the strength I gained from dealing with them. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger... It's true.

9:20 am

Marc Freeman

mi7/32, please

9:21 am

Jayde287

Correction - clue for the first fi6/33?

9:21 am

NonoNanette

exactly Scarlet!

9:21 am

bendamalina

i have two fi6/33s..both are related to something well made, dainty, or just goo

9:21 am

bendamalina

good even

9:22 am

triplebock

yes, they both build off of the fi 4/7...

9:22 am

bendamalina

mi 7/32 is what rocks are made of...if you have hard water, you have mi*****s in it

9:22 am

Jayde287

ahh, yes! Thanks

9:23 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks got it

9:23 am

bendamalina

9:24 am

Jayde287

9:24 am

triplebock

9:24 am

bendamalina

thanks!

9:24 am

triplebock

YW!

9:27 am

Jayde287

clue for the second fi 5/16?

9:27 am

triplebock

do you have the one that buids off of 4/7?

9:27 am

Kateq

no fr***s

9:28 am

amelu0218

The area I'm in has been growing exponentially for about 20 years, everyone wanting to get out in the country... Unfortunately, there is only one road in and traffic is insane. I refuse to leave my house after I get home from work so everything has to be taken care of (groceries or whatever errands) on the way home... Since the storm, people can't afford to buy! My homeowner's insurance has gone up $1600 since Katrina (it's now $2800 for a $60K house). I have friends who had to refinance their house because their insurance went so high that they couldn't afford the escrow on top of the mortgage note. So, yeah, property values are higher but no one who wants to live here can afford to do so... I mean, for the most part, we're laboring shipyard workers... it's not like everyone makes $100K a year...

9:29 am

harpjane

could someone clue the el?

9:29 am

harpjane

and the er?

9:29 am

Jayde287

ahhh! ot it! thanks

9:29 am

triplebock

you've just echoed the sentiment of the homeowner's in NOLA - the taxes and insurance went up so much. sadly, we had to leave. i wish we could go back. i still cook a mean gumbo.

9:29 am

Jayde287

oh wait, no I don't

9:29 am

NonoNanette

cookies made with el*** goodness

9:30 am

Jayde287

Yea, I have the one that builds off the fi 4/7.....

9:30 am

triplebock

i love that clue, nono.

9:31 am

triplebock

sorry, jayd, i haven't printed my list out yet...

9:31 am

bendamalina

take the fi4/7 before it and add the second vowel

9:31 am

harpjane

didn't get it, oh well

9:31 am

NonoNanette

i cant take credit for it triplebock, someone gave it earlier

9:32 am

bendamalina

there are two fi4/7s that have fi5/16s after

9:32 am

Scarlet

Harp... think Keebler's cookies...

9:33 am

Kateq

Harp--think Tolkien

9:33 am

harpjane

thanks, got it!

9:33 am

Scarlet

Or a bad pronounciation of Mr. Presley

9:34 am

amelu0218

We live in a wonderful part of the country and the LA swamps are a thing of beauty and wonder. I wish for you that you were able to get back this way, tbock.

9:34 am

harpjane

oril

9:34 am

harpjane

crap, sorry

9:34 am

Jayde287

Ahhh! Got the fi I was looking for. Thanks!

9:34 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:34 am

triplebock

thx, us cajun folk don't do too well out in texas :( we're not in any kind of a hurry...you know?

9:35 am

Jayde287

Clue for fu 8/70?

9:35 am

Scarlet

Ah... zydeco... is that spelled right, triple? Love that music...

9:35 am

triplebock

burial...plural, jayd...

9:36 am

Scarlet

The rites surrounding the death ceremonies, Jayde

9:36 am

triplebock

yep, you got it, scarlet...that's some of our music...

9:36 am

Jayde287

I have the fu8/60, I need the fu 8/70

9:36 am

Scarlet

Love it!

9:36 am

bendamalina

that's for the 8/60

9:37 am

Scarlet

Jayde, take the last two letters off the 8/60 and add **e bread with caraway seeds

9:37 am

amelu0218

Oh, yes. I certainly do. LOL! I was born in the north and moved here when I was 14... I do not, repeat, do not miss the hurriedness of the lives that many live... I'm definitely the 'laid back' type. ~:-D

9:40 am

Jayde287

ahhh! thanks!

9:40 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:42 am

Ogdens Nut

Hi everyone - amelu, did read correctly that the house values where you are, are 60K dollars ?

9:42 am

Jayde287

Now I need fu6,30, fu7,52 and fu5,22 . Any clues?

9:43 am

Aloyisius

howdy everyone.. I have been back and forth, frustrated as I don't have time to chat. I wanted to send mrp words of support and now is it too late? We are in the midst of a huge fight here that has been occupying most of my time. Also related to the unexpected.. we built this retirement home out in a lovely area and now it is threatened by the permitting of a bunch of dirt mines! The zoning apparently is not correct, but the burden for undoing the mess falls on the residents .. too much to go into but arrrgh!

9:43 am

amelu0218

No, that's what I paid for my house 10 years ago... it's what I'm insured for.

9:43 am

Uniquity

fu 6,30: more fu4,8.

9:43 am

Scarlet

OH, Aloy, dear. *Hugs* I feel so bad for you and your hubby... Love to you.

9:44 am

Uniquity

fu7,52: the 6,30 plus the somtimes vowel

9:44 am

amelu0218

I'm not sure of the actual prices, but there's a 4 bedroom house on the way to work that sits on 12 acres and they want $499K for it.

9:44 am

NonoNanette

so sorry Aloy that doesnt seem fair

9:44 am

Uniquity

fu5,22: the fu4,8 plus sometimes vowel

9:44 am

Judi

Morning, all. Oh, Aloy. That sounds terrible. Time to get out the shotgun and booby trap the log cabin!

9:45 am

Scarlet

We had the same problem in Pennsylvania with a rock quarry that used dynamite... horrible.

9:45 am

triplebock

dirt mines? gracious. that's ridiculous!

9:45 am

Jayde287

thanks guys!

9:45 am

Ogdens Nut

Thanks amelu - what would be the average price for a 4 bedroom detached house be in the US now ?

9:45 am

Uniquity

Welcome Jayde

9:46 am

triplebock

out in houston you can get one in some areas, the burbs, for well under $200K...no land though

9:46 am

Scarlet

Hi, Uniquity!! YOU finished, right? Congratulations!

9:46 am

NonoNanette

Zen that would depend on a lot of things such as location and condition of the home

9:46 am

Uniquity

Thanks Scarlet!

9:47 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:47 am

Judi

Shaking my head at all the fires in California. Hubby and I almost moved to San Diego 10 years ago. Changed our minds and moved to Delaware instead. Were planning on buying a house in Temecula. Probably would have burned up or been shook apart by an earthquake by now.

9:47 am

Aloyisius

we feel so "little" and powerless compared to the financial and legal resources of the corporations doing the digging. ah well, Babble is indeed an oasis, thanks to you wonderful people.. hugs and gratitude for the fellowship! (-:

9:48 am

Scarlet

*tears*, Aloy.

9:48 am

triplebock

don't even get me started about these corporations! ARRGGHHH!!!!

9:48 am

Uniquity

You wil find a way to make it work Aloy..it will just be difficult to deal with. I wish you luck and strength.

9:48 am

Ogdens Nut

Thanks triple & Nono - compared to the UK, these prices are very cheap - have house prices actually fallen much in the USA ?

9:49 am

Scarlet

Zonig battles rarely come to an equitable conclusion, Aloy... the little guy CAN win, though.

9:50 am

triplebock

no, i think everything in houston is on sale. i don't get it. i think there's just so much land and people keep building houses so there is always something new...def a buyer's market...i live in a master planned community with good schools...def. a lot diff from new orleans! what i paid here would ahve bought me a tear down back home :(

9:50 am

Scarlet

*zoning*

9:50 am

Aloyisius

at least we got a continuance.. took a lawyer and an expert witness though, :-( . mucho dinero

9:51 am

amelu0218

My daughter just had a 3 bedroom home built on a small lot in a new neighborhood... She paid around $125K, zenmed...

9:51 am

Judi

Hmm. Wondering if Aloy can file a class action lawsuit against the dirt mine company or whoever sold them the land. Thinking, "failure to disclose permitting rights on neighboring lands". Just wondering.

9:51 am

NonoNanette

have found in this area the price of houses has risen dramaticly

9:52 am

Scarlet

You know, Aloy, these da**ed situations tend to feed themselves and the major winners are the legal beagles who ultimately reach the end of continuances and stall tactics... even the proposals factor in the lag-time with legalities... so, if the corporation says it wants to begin in 2008, the actual date is 2010... I have pulled my hair out on this many times.

9:53 am

inge

New four bedroom homes in Northville, MI, halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor, go for $350 000 and up. Depends where you want to live zenmd

9:53 am

Aloyisius

well, Judi.. one of the angles of attack is against the zoning because it is absolutely incorrect.. we are in an "agricultural estate" zone (orange grove) and dirt mining is really not agricultural.. you don't eat dirt!

9:53 am

Ogdens Nut

Thanks to all; where I live in N. Ireland, in my town the price of a 4-bed detached home is now about 600-700K......

9:54 am

Ogdens Nut

Thats dollar price..

9:54 am

NonoNanette

the exchange rate has to factor in on that too zen.... the pound is worth almost twice the american dollar

9:54 am

Judi

No kidding, Aloy. Any local indian tribes around who can declare it sacred burial grounds or something?

9:55 am

Aloyisius

you are right, Scarlet.. lawyers are necessary and we seem to be up a financial creek .. (hair pulling time here)

9:56 am

inge

Good idea, Judi. This homeowner on the hill tried to rent his home to the Czech embassy to make it a foreign territory. The Czech government turned him down

9:56 am

amelu0218

gotta run... bbl... Y'all have fun! *poof*

9:57 am

Judi

Either that, or find some endangered species of animal living on the property. Got any burrowing owls or pandas roaming around?

9:57 am

Aloyisius

one of my favorite quotes: "an organization is a means by which ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things".... so we have organized ! As a result, we now have the support of two other very important environmental groups.. glimmers of hope

9:57 am

inge

I DO have to finsih this week's cleaning. BBL

11:45 am

Haz1558

Vicuna, the video on Lickety's expert showed how to fold a t-shirt in 2 seconds.

11:46 am

Niamh

Vicuna, it was the video for finishing in babble expert yesterday

11:46 am

stidmama

hi vi!

11:46 am

Vicuna

I can fold a T-shirt in 2 seconds. I assume the video's method has few crumples, though!

11:46 am

stidmama

TWO.....

11:46 am

Vicuna

I don't get the videos. =(

11:46 am

Vicuna

Hello, all!

11:46 am

Niamh

I don't have the address for the video here at work

11:46 am

Haz1558

It was perfect, Vicuna. Shop worthy.

11:47 am

BGL

STID!!!! How's it going?

11:47 am

stidmama

FINITO!!!!!

11:47 am

stidmama

hey BGL! it goes! :-) you?

11:47 am

I was busy, so didn't watch it to the end -- listening to you, I wish I had!

11:47 am

debjed

11:47 am

inge

Vicuna, in the video they came out looking like new. They probably were.

11:47 am

Niamh

YaY Stid!!

11:47 am

Haz1558

Congratulations stid!

11:47 am

inge

Bravo, Stid

11:47 am

Vicuna

Cool. Of course, it's a T-shirt... I wonder if they can do that to tailored shirts?

11:48 am

cybernan

ar 5/10: h***** tweed

11:48 am

Niamh

my guess is that shirt she folded was a silk blend... nothing else looks that smooth

11:48 am

BGL

same here! work, kids, clean house, work kids, clean house....

11:48 am

stidmama

clean house???? *gasp* I KNEW I was forgetting something!

11:48 am

debjed

that's the one i do have:)

11:48 am

cybernan

ar 5/10: french spring month(s) - the v

11:48 am

Haz1558

I don't think the sleeves would cooperate with a proper shirt.

11:48 am

cybernan

*minus the v

11:49 am

Vicuna

What you need to leave out of that equation, BGL, is "clean house." I always do!

11:49 am

inge

why clean house? Is there an inspection coming up?

11:49 am

stidmama

I keep the kitchen clean (ish) does that count?

11:49 am

debjed

don't know french

11:49 am

Vicuna

Sure, stidmama. That's more than enough!

11:50 am

stidmama

speaking of which, I was planning on making some applesauce and quince jelly today. Ten minutes to clue...

11:50 am

inge

keeps you from tripping over lids and pots

11:50 am

cybernan

french month is the same as ms. lavign (sp)

11:50 am

Niamh

kitchen is the most important room in the place... it's all that matters!

11:50 am

stidmama

well niamh, bathrooms, too. or don't you live with teenage boys? LOL

11:51 am

Haz1558

ar5/10 - plural of ar4/4 - ends up being an anagram of animal dens or what trains run on.

11:51 am

cybernan

make them sit, stid

11:51 am

Vicuna

5-year-old boys do not have a nice effect on bathrooms, either. ewww...

11:51 am

Madi95

hi all.

11:51 am

stidmama

right, nan. you there! boy who is taller and heavier than me! SIT! rofl....

11:51 am

stidmama

hi madi!

11:51 am

Niamh

mine's not a teenager just yet, but I have my own bathroom... he has to clean the other one himself

11:52 am

cybernan

great plan niamh!

11:52 am

inge

hi madi

11:52 am

Takuma Sato

lol vic, nor teenaged boys

11:52 am

Vicuna

Builds up immunities, at least!

11:52 am

stidmama

yep. we got two bathrooms when we bought our home. one for me.us and one for "them" of course, theirs is also the guest bath, so they have to keep it presentable.

11:52 am

Niamh

that's one way to look at it Vicuna!

11:53 am

cybernan

off to rake up pine needles that all the rain brought down -- back at the flip :)

11:53 am

stidmama

this is a really cool video!

11:53 am

Niamh

see you latter nan!

11:53 am

Takuma Sato

bye nan

11:53 am

stidmama

later nan!

11:53 am

Vicuna

Bye, Nan.

11:54 am

stidmama

so, clues anyone?

11:54 am

Takuma Sato

speaking of immunities -- anybody know if there's anything to be done to get rid of pink eye?

11:54 am

Niamh

If I find a cool video and want to share it with lickety does he have a link for where to send it?

11:54 am

stidmama

pink eye is highly contagious. in the united states at the moment, antibiotics are the only way

11:54 am

Niamh

Taku, there is a prescription eye drop you can get

11:54 am

debjed

i'm still clueless. well i have your clues but am too dense to get them. sorry.

11:55 am

Takuma Sato

yeah -- I know it's really contagious. I think we have the viral kind though, so no antibiotics for us

11:55 am

stidmama

if it's just redness from allergies or something, then damp teabag, cooled first in the fridge, can help

11:55 am

Takuma Sato

thanks for the suggestion -- I'll go talk to a doc

11:55 am

Vicuna

You need to go to a doctor to test which kind it is and make sure there aren't secondary infections.

11:55 am

debjed

got the ar now

11:55 am

Takuma Sato

unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's pinkeye, at this point

11:55 am

Takuma Sato

I will try the tea bag though

11:56 am

lbdawger

whooo hooooo STID!

11:56 am

lbdawger

must get this lil doggy moving, hope to see you all later.

11:56 am

Niamh

the tea bag will make it feel better even if it doesn't cure it

11:56 am

Niamh

bye dawk!

11:56 am

stidmama

11:56 am

stidmama

11:57 am

Takuma Sato

12:05 pm

Madi95

bye Haz

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Goodbye, Haz.

12:05 pm

Niamh

bye Haz!

12:06 pm

Madi95

does the sw5/18 have any relation to the sw6/36?

12:06 pm

Niamh

so just curious, how many of you all have heard of and-or read the epic story/poem of the Adventures of Beowulf?

12:06 pm

inge

I changed my icon from the UN in Vienna, to a goldfish in the US, Does it show?

12:07 pm

Madi95

yes, inge.

12:07 pm

Vicuna

*raises hand* Why?

12:07 pm

Atalante

read in both English and Anglo-Saxon :D

12:07 pm

Vicuna

Very nice, Ata!

12:08 pm

FMitch

Groan, there's always one!! teehee
Me too

12:08 pm

Atalante

LOVE your fish, Vi!

12:08 pm

Madi95

that i know, ata.

12:08 pm

Atalante

can I be smug now?

12:08 pm

ursh

Hello all back for last 40

12:08 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, Ata. Your icon is great, too! lol

12:08 pm

FMitch

Nope sorry smugness only between the hours of 7-9pm

12:09 pm

Vicuna

Sure, go ahead and be smug. Knowledge of Anglo-Saxon won't get you much else, so you may as well enjoy the smugness.

12:09 pm

Atalante

ok, I'll just store it up

12:09 pm

FMitch

We missed Haz :(

So Niamh why the question?

12:09 pm

Vicuna

I was going to take Old English in college, but took Sanskrit instead. That didn't do me any good, either!

12:09 pm

Atalante

*gasp* A/S is particularly useful! Well, it must be ... somewhere ...

12:10 pm

Niamh

I saw trailer of the movie, my fiancee said soemthing about the story... I hadn't hear of it, so I looked it up and now I'm reading it

12:10 pm

Atalante

which version are you reading?

12:11 pm

Niamh

http://www.lone-star.net/literature/be
owulf/beowulf.html

12:11 pm

FMitch

Ata will hold a master class if you want one.

12:12 pm

Vicuna

We had a friend with a 30 pound cat named Grendel.

12:12 pm

Atalante

try and get hold of Seamus Heaney's translation if you want one that doesn't have zombies in

12:13 pm

inge

I only know of Beowulf in its possible relation to Siegfried in Germanic literature

12:14 pm

Vicuna

*huh* They've all got more brawn than brain.

12:14 pm

Niamh

Seamus Heaney's hun? is this version I'm reading any good?

12:16 pm

Atalante

I think any version is good. But there are 1 or 2 that really manage to evoke the age of Beowulf. So if you like the online version you're reading, you might like to get one of the more famous translations and enjoy that too

12:17 pm

Atalante

(and the film is fab, though nothing like the book)

12:18 pm

Niamh

If I ran over to the book store at lunch they would have one of the more famous translations right??

12:18 pm

ursh

btw Ata - antique glaze (chocolate) toned down my orange bathroom walls just beautifully - they actually look great now

12:19 pm

Niamh

mmm.. chocolate and orange... I think I'm hungry!

12:19 pm

Atalante

they should do, but see if you enjoy it first before spending money!

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Or try your local library.

12:21 pm

Atalante

thats a good idea Vi

12:21 pm

Niamh

I'm on "episode 4" of this online deal and so far I love it. and I don't mind spending the money because I am a big fan of half price books as well... they take trades!

12:22 pm

Atalante

yay :) well, I'd recommend Heaney's book. I'm sure others have got different opinions, but his is very beautiful and his use of language is lovely

12:23 pm

Niamh

Thanks Ata, I'll look for his version first then!

12:24 pm

Atalante

and he has quite a long introduction explaining a lot about the poem. thats equaly interesting if you can wade through it

12:25 pm

Niamh

cool! thanks!

12:25 pm

elara6

I was curious and ended up finding that online just now, or at least something similar by Heaney. You can see it at: http://www.wwnorton.com/college/englis
h/nael/beowulf/welcome.htm

12:26 pm

Atalante

if you like Tolkien, you'll recognise quite a bit of his Meduseld scenes in Beowulf ...

12:27 pm

Takuma Sato

I've heard great things about Heaney's book, too

12:27 pm

Atalante

thats the intro, elara. its interesting in its own right!

12:28 pm

Atalante

there are more perfectly accurate translations than Heaney's, but I think his is the most beautiful, and isnt that what oral tradition is about?

12:28 pm

elara6

Sure is! Makes me want to read the poem again, especially since I don't think I've ever read his version. :)

12:29 pm

Atalante

brb got to shove salmon into soup

12:29 pm

Takuma Sato

sounds painful!

12:32 pm

Madi95

can i have a clue for sw6/36 please? it's driving me crazy

12:32 pm

Takuma Sato

adj form of the sw5/18

12:33 pm

Niamh

it's what they call it when a bully puts someone's head in a toilet and flushes it

12:33 pm

ExWren

put the sometimes vowel on the end of the sw5/18

12:33 pm

Takuma Sato

lol - I was about to offer that same clue, nia

12:33 pm

Madi95

ty

12:33 pm

lonestarmamma

ok so i dont get this whole 5/18 type thing can someone explain it to me pls

12:34 pm

Takuma Sato

that means: 5-letter word, worth 18 points

12:34 pm

Niamh

lonestar, that's # of letters/amount of points

12:34 pm

Madi95

5/18 means the word is 5 letters long and is worth 18 points

12:34 pm

Takuma Sato

so 'sw5/18' means a 5-letter 18-point word beginning with 'sw'

12:35 pm

lonestarmamma

oh

12:36 pm

Madi95

if i didn't use lickety's list (my only way to finish the puzzle) i wouldn't know that either

12:36 pm

Madi95

i just got my first fireworks last night

12:37 pm

Niamh

YaY Madi!

12:38 pm

lonestarmamma

ok so what is lickety list???

12:38 pm

Madi95

there's a link at the bottom for it. it's very helpful

12:39 pm

Madi95

it tells you the first two letters of every word and their length, and point value

12:41 pm

kimberblue

out of curiosity- how does lickety generate that list? and how does he get it up so soon every night?

12:42 pm

Madi95

idk, but i would sure love to find out.

12:42 pm

Niamh

lickety wrote a program, and he has to manually double check it and post it... but it's not night for him, he's in Australia

12:42 pm

Atalante

well, he has a babble solver programme, and it automatically populates the list. it only takes a few secs

12:43 pm

kimberblue

ah-ha- he always pops in a little after midnight for me- that's dedication!

12:44 pm

Madi95

Wow! My monkey typing is actually doing some good today.

12:44 pm

Niamh

you feed your monkeys well or something Madi?

12:45 pm

Atalante

he tries to do it as soon after the flip as possible, but sometimes life and football gets in the way

12:45 pm

Madi95

By the way, the icon theme is monkeys typing. I'll brb. I'm going to change it.

12:45 pm

Atalante

I thought it was fish!

12:46 pm

Niamh

oh, that sounds like a fun icon... I guess I could let Aayla have the day off....

12:46 pm

Atalante

noooooo keep Aayla!

12:46 pm

Atalante

says me, as I sit here doodling twi'leks on the side

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

afternoon babblers!

12:47 pm

Niamh

I was going to be Aayla for Haloween, but I didn't get my sewing done so I didn't bother looking for blue body paint, that will be the next hurdle

12:47 pm

Niamh

Hello Eva!

12:48 pm

EvaNadine

how goes it?

12:48 pm

Niamh

(course my abs don't quite do her justice)

12:48 pm

Atalante

oooo I wonder if I could make a Darth Talon costume. not for Halloween, but at some point

12:48 pm

Atalante

hi Eva!

12:49 pm

Niamh

that would be awesome, you can do it Ata!!

12:49 pm

kimberblue

i think this puzzle is hard today

12:50 pm

EvaNadine

i havent even tried the grid yet today -- theyve had me so BUSY doing WORK!

12:50 pm

Atalante

I'm definitely doing a new Talon pic in the next few weeks. I looove her

12:50 pm

12:56 pm

Atalante

yup!

12:56 pm

Atalante

never drawn Aayla. I should do

12:57 pm

Niamh

that's awesome! you rock!

12:58 pm

EvaNadine

Ata doesnt know it yet, really, but shes gonna design my tattoo. :)

12:58 pm

Atalante

there's a competition on a site I lurk at next month for sci-fi art. Such a good excuse to draw Anakin. And something else ... I want to try and do something almost abstract based on face markings - like Talon's and Darth Maul's

12:58 pm

Atalante

I am? go me :)

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

:-D

1:00 pm

Atalante

just let me know when you're ready! ;)

1:00 pm

Niamh

there are quite a few interesting characters that make great art.

1:01 pm

Atalante

ohhhh yes. I just refuse to do a "Jedi fights a Sith" picture like everyone else

1:01 pm

EvaNadine

i want a claddagh around my big toe...so its gotta be fairly basic...but i know id like some celtic knotwork worked in tehre, if possible...

1:02 pm

Atalante

its always possible to put knotwork in things. I'm slowly learning that!

1:02 pm

Niamh

no, there's way more interesting things... eeven Bantha's are more interesting than the Jedi-Sith fights.. they've been over done

1:03 pm

Atalante

too right. soooo dull. I'd love to draw Obi-wan but I just can't. Everyone has done a portrait of O-w. I refuse

1:03 pm

EvaNadine

ata -- ever do any anime?

1:04 pm

Jayde287

Clue for li 6/21?

1:04 pm

Atalante

sometimes. I have moments where I just love drawing anime. Then I won't for a while. Then it'll reappear again

1:04 pm

Niamh

The Reek is pretty interesting too

1:04 pm

Niamh

brb

1:05 pm

Atalante

I really want to draw the Jedi Temple. I'm just thinking about how to do it

1:05 pm

EvaNadine

my BF loves Naruto...and a little Pokeman..heh...
hes gotten me into them a bit!

1:06 pm

Jayde287

Clue for li 6/21?

1:06 pm

Atalante

I shouldn't admit it but I love Pokemon. I love drawing Pikachu. Adn we've just got a new anime channel on satellite here, so I'm watching Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist like its going oit of fashion

1:07 pm

EvaNadine

yeah, i think he likes those as well, but Naruto is his favorite...
he loves him some Gaara and Kakashi Sensei

1:07 pm

EvaNadine

i think he has Ghost in the Shell too

1:07 pm

Atalante

I really need to get hold of some Naruto. And Death Note. its just so hard over here!

1:08 pm

hurshy

*turns on universal translator*

1:08 pm

EvaNadine

i bought him the Naruto dvds for his bday!
the first 4, i think

1:08 pm

EvaNadine

i got them from amazon.com, so you could probably get them there too, if you wanted to

1:08 pm

Atalante

I need a DVD player that plays region 1

1:08 pm

Atalante

hi hurshy!

1:09 pm

hurshy

hiya

1:09 pm

EvaNadine

hurshy, it turns into "geek, geek, nerd, dork...tooly-dweeb, geek...."

1:09 pm

Atalante

most anime doesn't get published over here, so we have to make do with buying US dvds and trying to play them!

1:10 pm

EvaNadine

i think even we get it much after its shown over in asia

1:11 pm

Atalante

oh yes. but then again they have anime on 24 hours a day over there

1:11 pm

EvaNadine

heh, this is true!

1:12 pm

EvaNadine

so, hints for the bottom-center E or the lowest R?

1:12 pm

EvaNadine

NM about the E, i found it

1:12 pm

EvaNadine

and the R, *le sigh*

1:12 pm

EvaNadine

i always get them after i ask for them!

1:40 pm

Niamh

Hey Ata, I thought of another one you should draw... Shaak Ti. she has cool markings

1:41 pm

Atalante

oooooh yes

1:42 pm

Niamh

I wonder if I could make a costume of her... can't be that hard hun?

1:42 pm

Atalante

gotta be possible

1:42 pm

Niamh

and I wouldn't have to worry about my abs!

1:42 pm

Atalante

nope! she'd certainly be easier than Aayla

1:44 pm

Atalante

or I could do completely dark with just vader's face outlines and something cool reflected in his "eyes"

1:45 pm

Atalante

or maps. I like maps. I always want a map of Coruscant, but the information isn't there

1:45 pm

Niamh

that sounds awesome... maybe something like his mom, or something darker like when he killed all the padawan

1:46 pm

Atalante

thats my fav scene ever. very gruesome

1:46 pm

Niamh

my finacee has read all the books and seen just about everything there is... I'll ask him if he has any info on a map of Coruscant

1:47 pm

Atalante

there isnt, I dont think. i've got the rp book of coruscant and that includes a kind of mmap, but thats it

1:48 pm

Atalante

England sucks sometimes :P

3:17 pm

Niamh

I'd offer to send you some, but they are WAY better fresh

3:18 pm

Madi95

Ingredients:
20 cups popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups light-colored corn syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces or candy-coated peanut butter-flavored pieces

Instructions:
1. Remove all unpopped kernels from popped popcorn. Place popcorn in a buttered 17x12x2-inch baking pan or roasting pan. Keep popcorn warm in a 300 degree F (150 C) oven while preparing marshmallow mixture.

2. In a large saucepan bring corn syrup and sugar to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallow creme, butter, and vanilla until combined.

3. Pour marshmallow mixture over hot popcorn; stir gently to coat. Cool until popcorn mixture can be handled easily. Stir in candies. With damp hands, quickly shape mixture into 3-inch-diameter balls. Wrap each popcorn ball in plastic wrap. Store at room temperature up to 1 week.

3:18 pm

Niamh

1 c. butter
2/3 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. corn syrup
Vanilla

Combine all the ingredients except the vanilla. Cook to a firm ball stage. Prepare in a large heavy canner. Pour in about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 of the large Tupperware bowls full of popcorn. Stir until all the popcorn is well coated. Pour out onto buttered cookie sheets and spread to cool. Can make into balls or leave on the sheets and pull off as you like.
