2:31 am

Geekmeister

Cool, I just got started...

2:32 am

pigeonman

Good game. 1-0, we won. Lots of action though for a 1-0 game

2:33 am

pigeonman

Lots of use of the w,x, and v letters. Stuck in the middle of quite a few words.

2:33 am

Geekmeister

2:34 am

pigeonman

It's the ghost of Len Bias

2:34 am

herinfernallady

I appoligise i am being very juvinile

2:35 am

Geekmeister

I haven't convinced her to move up there yet... The weather is noce, not too cold right now. I've been looking at Webcams.

2:36 am

pigeonman

We need to find the perfect house and property for you guys. Haven't really been looking.

2:36 am

pigeonman

When the weather drops below zero on a regular basis, you need to keep it to yourself.

2:36 am

FranMag

why juvenile infernal?

2:37 am

FranMag

you two remind me of a girl that came to Guam from Alaska when in was in 6th grade

2:38 am

pigeonman

Geepers. I always wanted to be a little girl. :-)

2:38 am

FranMag

i know now Alaska is very beautiful, but when she would show us pictures it was always of snowdrifts and things we had never seen

2:38 am

Geekmeister

No comment

2:38 am

FranMag

we didn't understand why she missed it so much. :-)

2:39 am

pigeonman

Yep. Most everyone thinks there are igloos all over the place and we have to fight off polar bears.

2:39 am

FranMag

sorry, i guess i meant when you talk about Alaska, it reminds me of her. :-)

2:40 am

pigeonman

I gotta run. I'm gonna watch The Brain From Planet Arous. Great 50's Sci Fi. Luck to everyone. Bye Geek.

lynxxx

Did the kids make anything for you?

2:43 am

MVA

bye pigeon

2:44 am

FranMag

lol, no, they're only 2 and 4 and my husband would never think of organizing them to do something. :-)

2:44 am

herinfernallady

You know that you have way to much spare time that when a buffy quote is found you know which episode

2:44 am

MVA

my visitors have woken and say they need food! i may have to cook breakfast now!!

2:45 am

FranMag

lol, isn't that because you've watched them over and over again?

2:45 am

FranMag

mva, throw them a box of cereal and show them where the milk is.

2:45 am

FranMag

:-)

2:45 am

MVA

lol!

2:45 am

lynxxx

and you could really spoil them by getting the toaster out and putting bread on the table too

2:45 am

FranMag

won't work?

2:46 am

FranMag

hmm, maybe there's a reason i don't get many guests?

2:47 am

MVA

could try that but for years i have cooked them bacon, sausage etc and now they think they should have that!

2:47 am

FranMag

wait, did you want them to visit you again?

2:47 am

lynxxx

what a great hostess!

2:47 am

MVA

must have done!!

2:47 am

Geekmeister

All of this talk of food makes me sleepy... I have to say Good Night!

2:48 am

FranMag

2:48 am

lynxxx

goodnite Geek

2:48 am

MVA

FranMag

2:49 am

2:50 am

MVA

2:51 am

herinfernallady

2:52 am

FranMag

and then i'm flying to melbourne to see infernal

2:52 am

MVA

2:52 am

lynxxx

Is this hard or am I just a bit slow to see words?

2:53 am

lynxxx

Don't forget to drop in and see me too then, not so good on dinners but can do a nice lunch

2:53 am

FranMag

it's not an easy one lynxxx

2:54 am

FranMag

herinfernallady

2:54 am

MVA

2:55 am

FranMag

2:55 am

FranMag

that's okay infernal, we're just talking about coming to visit you

2:56 am

lynxxx

73 here, off (mostly) and on for a couple of hours too

2:56 am

herinfernallady

I meant the grid. I am doing random slogan generation with a naughty word

2:56 am

FranMag

lynxxx, did you notice the 31 Ws? a bunch of biggies in there too

2:57 am

lynxxx

yep - only got 16 of them! are there any 8s in there

2:57 am

herinfernallady

i yeah

2:57 am

MVA

2:57 am

FranMag

2:58 am

FranMag

2:58 am

lynxxx

Yes please - the only 8 I have is ex8.65

2:58 am

MVA

2:58 am

FranMag

wh8 x 2, wi8

2:59 am

FranMag

wh7 x 2 and wi7 x 2 also

2:59 am

FranMag

i guess that is all the 8s, i'm still missing a wh8

2:59 am

FranMag

which i just found i think

3:00 am

FranMag

yay! i did find it, 8s are done

3:00 am

lynxxx

isn't the one you are missing the ex8.65?

3:00 am

FranMag

no, i have that one

3:00 am

FranMag

i knew there was another wh8, so i listed it for you, but i didn't have it yet

3:01 am

lynxxx

ahhh!

3:01 am

mrpresident

time to start the grid!
Hi everyone :)

3:01 am

FranMag

now i need one more 7, don't know what it starts with though.

3:01 am

FranMag

hi mrp!

3:01 am

FranMag

how did the pictures come out?

3:02 am

MVA

thanks fran, will work on those, but will have to go but will be back and forth for babble

3:02 am

MVA

hi mrp

3:02 am

lynxxx

Hi MRP. are you 'showing' yet or are you having a relaxing weekend

3:02 am

FranMag

later mva! have a lovely time with your guests

3:03 am

MVA

ty fran, bye!

3:05 am

FranMag

finished the Ws!!

3:05 am

mrpresident

we are doing the pictures on Monday morning... cleaning up still and staging the rooms... it has been quite challenging.

3:06 am

FranMag

i'm sure mrp! but i'm sure it's going to be awesome

3:06 am

mrpresident

ain't nothing relaxing about this! it is an enormous task to sell the house... if it isn't presented right, we don't get enough money for it

3:07 am

mrpresident

it already looks amazing! I have completely turned around the bedrooms! they look beautiful!
Some of the nicknacks I am using have given such a lovely effect, am pleased with my purchases of rugs and throws and pillows, candles and glass plates and bowls... silk flowers. It is going to look very special

3:08 am

FranMag

well, i'm crossing my fingers for a good showing and top dollar for you all.

3:08 am

lynxxx

sheer slog - but worth it in the end, with the added bonus of not having to clean out so much when you do move!

3:09 am

mrpresident

I have been hunting around the traps, looking for ideas during the open house.
It is suggested to write small cards that tell the buyer something about each room that is a special feature. do you think that is a good idea?

3:09 am

FranMag

now there's a silver lining lynxxx

3:09 am

mrpresident

Also, to have water and fruit and biscuits available with a 'complimentary' card next to it, at the entrance

3:10 am

herinfernallady

HI MR PRES

3:10 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres also baked cookie smell works

3:10 am

FranMag

those sound like great ideas mrp

3:11 am

herinfernallady

That is wonderful ideas Mr Pres

3:11 am

mrpresident

the baked cookie idea is nice, but not feasible... would have to clean everything up and that would be alot more work for me

3:11 am

FranMag

one show i watched, the realtor had the homeowner put cinnamon and cloves in water on the stove and have it warmed up right before the open house.

3:11 am

lynxxx

I would be guided by your agent MRP - I personally don't think that is necessary - freshly brewed coffee smell would get me though

3:12 am

mrpresident

also, buying silk flowers and lovely vases is better... and light a marigold scented candle... spend $100 on the flowers and that is the one off expense

3:13 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes its called cookie dough in a roll

3:13 am

lynxxx

BBS - getting dinner going

3:13 am

herinfernallady

I.E. Clueless stylee

3:13 am

FranMag

later lynxxx!

3:14 am

herinfernallady

3:27 am

BabbleRabble

3:27 am

FranMag

3:27 am

FranMag

3:28 am

BabbleRabble

3:29 am

FranMag

3:34 am

mrpresident

I am sure I just saw harrison ford dressed as an 'orange people' in Flying High!

3:35 am

FranMag

3:35 am

FranMag

:-)

3:36 am

FranMag

4:11 am

hydra

Well, I've been away for ten mins or so and the chat log hasn't changed. Is anybody there?

4:12 am

Marmar

Hi hydra, I'm here but folding clothes at the moment...keep glancing at the grid trying to spy more words...

4:12 am

caitlyn

Morning hydra..I have just popped in..isnt it quiet

4:12 am

hydra

Hello caitlyn. Yes, it is, apart from in my house where the boiler's bust and the boyfriend is trying to fit a new ballvalve, with much swearing and banging!

4:13 am

hydra

Hi Marmar. I'm not great at folding clothes. If they don't hang, they just get chucked in the cupboard!

4:13 am

Marmar

Ha, I think I'm slacking off because I'm not ironing everything first...

4:13 am

caitlyn

Oh you need a boiler today..go and buy some earplugs
Morning Marmar

4:14 am

hydra

I have the earplugs, Caitlyn - and a white noise machine! I live on a noisy road.

4:16 am

Marmar

Hi Caitlyn! Bare da!

4:16 am

Marmar

uh....Bore da!

4:17 am

caitlyn

Bore da Marmar!! ( I dont speak Welsh but I know that one LOL)

4:17 am

hydra

That was good, Marmar.

4:18 am

Marmar

MVA taught me that this earlier this morning.

4:19 am

hydra

I'm impressed. Did you learn nos da (goodnight) too?

4:20 am

Marmar

No, but I got it now. Thanks. I can only speak English and German but love to collect foreign phrases. Have two more now!

4:21 am

caitlyn

I can say good afternoon but cant spell it...pronoun da is the nearest i can get

4:21 am

hydra

Here's one for you. Guzel. It means pretty, or nice, in Turkish. The expression 'cok guzel' (pron. chok) means very good, very nice and it can be used for almost anything.

4:21 am

hydra

I don't know any German though. I can count up to ten but that's it.

4:23 am

caitlyn

If i sit by the computer and polish the desk does that count as doing housework?

4:23 am

Marmar

In Germany if you can say Schnitzel, Bier and noch ein Bier (another beer), you're good. Thanks for the Turkish, I have several Turkish friends here.

4:24 am

hydra

Of course it does!

4:24 am

Marmar

I sorted out the stack of papers sitting next to the computer the other day...I was very proud of myself!

4:25 am

hydra

Gunaydin (pron. goon-eye-dun) is goodday in Gurkish. Merhaba is hello.

4:25 am

caitlyn

Well done Marmar!!

4:25 am

hydra

Where do you live, Marmar? And thanks for the German words.

4:27 am

herinfernallady

hi

4:27 am

caitlyn

Hi herin!!

4:27 am

hydra

Mornin' infernal

4:27 am

Marmar

That's great! Thanks. I am north of Frankfurt on Main, outside of Giessen. Does that help. We're pretty centrally located, 5 hours to Berlin, Munich, 3 hours to Switzerland, France, Belgian

4:28 am

hydra

What wonderful places you can get to. I'm quite envious!

4:28 am

herinfernallady

hi

4:29 am

herinfernallady

hello

4:30 am

caitlyn

Let me know if the smell of polish is too strong!

4:30 am

hydra

I'm holding my nose, caitlyn

4:30 am

hydra

Infernal, that is a fabulous icon.

4:31 am

Marmar

It's beautiful here. I'm from Texas which is fine but the topographical beauty is somewhat lacking... You go Caitlyn!

4:31 am

herinfernallady

pardon the double i am in a crappy part of the house were the wireless net is virtually non existant

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Thanks i googled Werewolves and this is what i foud

I hope Glasgow knows what it's letting itself in for.

5:09 am

Lizsark

Pretty much the way I saw it too - same with London and the Olympics

5:09 am

Haz1558

It's when they start talking about the money involved that my head starts to spin.

5:10 am

Lizsark

It makes me mad that so much money gets spent on sport when it could do so much other good in the world - the new London Stadium is reputed to be going to cost nearly £100 million by the time its finished

5:10 am

BabbleRabble

do you have intermittant eruptions of pea soup too?

5:10 am

lilliann

i'd like to know where they're getting all the money from for the olympics

5:10 am

periwinkle

found 100, bbl to finsh

5:11 am

Lizsark

bye Peri

5:11 am

lilliann

bye peri

5:11 am

Lizsark

I'd like to know why they cant build it for 99 million and give the other million to charity... or more

5:12 am

Haz1558

Babble - you've been watching too many old movies. We're not permanently bathed in fog, just from October to March.

5:12 am

lilliann

it annoys me how much a football player gets paid and when they're injured they still get paid the same amount.what a waste of money for just kicking a ball around a pitch!

5:13 am

Lizsark

Like minds I think Lilli :)

5:13 am

mrpresident

hi haz, liz, lill et al :)

5:13 am

lilliann

hi mrp

5:14 am

Lizsark

Ahhh Haz! And there was me thinking Babble was really making a non sequiteur!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Football, and sports does provide entertainment and if people are willing to pay to watch, people will take the money.

5:14 am

Lizsark

Hi MrP!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Hello mrpresident.

5:14 am

Haz1558

Babble is always tuned in.

5:15 am

Lizsark

I just think they should have more thought for people who need it more Haz, if you see what I mean

5:15 am

Haz1558

Oh, I understand completely, Liz. The world of sport seems to be unbalanced in terms of the amount of money it sucks up.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Sorry i ran off

5:16 am

Lizsark

Wouldn't it be nice if things could be spread around more evenly? And I'm not a communist honest! LOL

5:16 am

Haz1558

I don't mind sportsmen being paid for their skill etc, it's when the money is ridiculous that you begin to ask questions.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Liliann they are a USA band she is part of. The other guy Jason Webley is in Seatle

5:17 am

Haz1558

I think we should be checking for pinkness, though, Liz. McCarthy would be worried about you.

5:17 am

lilliann

i like certain sports, but footballers get more money than anyone and they don't train as hard as some other sports men/women

5:17 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz *tries not to blush in case the colour is miscontrued!*

5:17 am

Haz1558

They seem to have enough time to 'write' their autobiographies, so their training can't be too exhausting.

5:17 am

Lizsark

Anyway, time to go - bad head. Hopefully BBL - have fun all

5:18 am

Haz1558

And I'm off as well. I've to do battle with an unfamiliar supermarket.....

5:18 am

BabbleRabble

I wonder if Linda Blair likes pea soup?

5:18 am

6:38 am

mrpresident

is your youngen a tomboy?? I was when I was a little girl too

6:39 am

lilliann

my daughter gets more on my fingers and toes than on the nails!!LOL

6:40 am

lilliann

she is and isn't, depends what mood she's in.i use to be a tomboy when i was younger until i got called a boy by some woman!!

6:44 am

mrpresident

oh I feel for you lill! I got mistaken for a boy when I was 12!
I was in the ladies toilets in a shopping centre and the cleaner came up to me (infront of about 15 women in the washroom) and scolded me for being in the 'ladies'... telling me that I was old enough to use the men's toilets.
I burst into tear and said, "but I am a girl!!"
She just about shrunk to 1 inch and all the women in the washroom said 'aawwwww, poor girl!'
I was mortified!

6:48 am

lilliann

i was about 9 or 10 and playing with my brother and his friends in the street when a lady came up and ruffled my hair and said "what a sweet boy" and i quite indignantly said "i'm a girl not a boy" and got quite annoyed,after that i started wearing more girlie clothes.i think i became a tomboy because my mam use to dress me in frills and horrible dresses when i was younger and i hated them.i'm definately more girlie now mrp.

hi merk and hursh

7:35 am

joso

could I get a hand with se5/14

7:35 am

hurshy

it's a kind of material

7:36 am

hurshy

it is a russian man's name without the i at the end

7:36 am

Anniebrook

suits are made of se 5/14

7:36 am

lilliann

it reminds me of a russian name for a man

7:36 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, did you get your car back?

7:37 am

joso

ah, thnx all, fireworks for me

7:37 am

hurshy

no, it was totalled, but i got another car that is almost exactly the same.

7:37 am

Anniebrook

yay for joso!

7:37 am

Dorens

hello everyone

7:37 am

lilliann

wtg joso!!

7:37 am

Anniebrook

hello, dorens!

7:37 am

lilliann

hi dorens

7:38 am

lshult

afternoon all

7:38 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, glad you have wheels

7:38 am

Anniebrook

afternoon, ishult

7:38 am

lilliann

afternoon ishult

7:38 am

Dorens

hi annie, lillian lshult, hurshy and congrats joso

7:39 am

hurshy

however, then yesterday i was given an insulting token raise, so i am depressed again.

7:39 am

lshult

need help, only found one of the 's (ex/65) need help with the rest!!???

7:39 am

Dorens

oh, sorry hurshy.

7:39 am

hurshy

two of them are w's - both superlatives

7:39 am

carleekat

you have wheels again hursh?

7:40 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, sorry...didnt you just start this job so, perhaps, it is not a token raise after all....you are in good company anyway, you and Joe Torre

7:40 am

chiley

wh8/65

7:40 am

chiley

...not a superlative

7:41 am

lshult

have 4x w7's but don't see any 8's!!

7:41 am

hurshy

no annie, here is how it went. the last person they hired interviewed well and then turned out to suck. i said i wanted at least 30,000. they said how about 29,500 with a six month salary review. they did my six month review, said how fabulous i was, and raised me to... 30,000.

7:41 am

Dorens

yeah, hurshy... you haven't been there a year yet, have you?

7:41 am

dcseain

wh8/65 is a grain farm term

7:42 am

Dorens

oh. but then after six months you'e making wha you wanted.... is that bad?

7:42 am

hurshy

yes, because i was asking for that when i was unproven. now they know i am really good, so.

7:43 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, I would not take this raise badly..they sound quite cheap tho...I would wait the year out

7:43 am

Dorens

hmmm, you have a point there.... so now what do you do?

7:43 am

Cherrypop

so next interview you get raised again

7:43 am

joso

ex's, there are 2 main ex's, the rest build on them,

7:43 am

hurshy

i do what annie said. see what happens after a year. if it's not a big raise, i think i will do something else.

7:44 am

Dorens

so that does make sense

7:45 am

joso

ex + m***ed mink and ex***, strive, use strenght

7:45 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, that is the plan I would follow...if after a year they do not give you a decent raise I would look at other options but do not give notice until you have something else....

7:45 am

hurshy

i mean i thought they were presenting it as a trade off - we'll pay you less at first, but you have the opportunity for more, sooner. now it's not a trade at all, you know?

7:45 am

Dorens

the economy is not great, c ould that be affecting them (tho they do sound cheap in general)?

7:46 am

hurshy

it's a yacht management company. the rich people are still doing great and building yachts galore.

7:46 am

Dorens

good point. well, follow Annie, I think that's good advice

7:46 am

Anniebrook

yes, I know how you feel but I am sure they did not mean to be insulting..

7:47 am

dcseain

i think annie's advice is good, hursh. and the company does sound cheap

7:47 am

cool girl

how can axers not be a word anyway hi everyone can i hae todays stats please and any biggies

7:47 am

hurshy

i looked on salary.com and the median for my job for that zip code is 35,000 with 0-1 year experience.

7:48 am

hurshy

i am Irked.

7:48 am

lilliann

hi cool girl 185 words

7:48 am

Dorens

Did you tell them that? show them the salary.com info?

7:48 am

hurshy

oh and, the health premiums went up last month, so the raise is somewhat cancelled out.

7:48 am

joso

oops, m***ed milk, not mink

7:49 am

dcseain

4 eights and 8 sevens, cool

7:49 am

hurshy

i didn't have a chance, dorens - i had this review where they said i was good and what i could improve and that i was getting a raise. then a few days later i was handed a letter praising me and stating the raise.

7:49 am

Dorens

I was wondering what you were doing to the poor minks, dc

7:50 am

cool girl

thanks dc could you tell me how many words in toyal please

7:50 am

Dorens

tough break there hurshy....when you go in thte next six month review, you'll be prepared tho, right?

7:50 am

Angelsong

good morning, Babble! this is going to be a crazy week for me.

7:50 am

dcseain

185

7:50 am

lilliann

185 cool

7:50 am

joso

I do have my ecenticities, but I leave the fuzzy animals alone Dorens, lol

7:50 am

cool girl

ty

7:50 am

hurshy

not really dorens. i don't know how to handle these things. this whole thing was so stressful.

7:50 am

dcseain

hurshy, you have every right to feel irked.

7:50 am

chiley

Perhaps you can take the letter and thank mgmt for the raise. Then ask them if your annual review will yield more of a raise.

7:51 am

lilliann

hi angelsong,why is that?

7:51 am

hurshy

i can't take the letter and do anything, for i burned it last night

7:51 am

lilliann

is it this week you move angel?

7:51 am

chiley

Oh, well you CAN thank them which opens the conversation about the future.

7:52 am

hurshy

i found out our company letterhead burns well though

7:52 am

Angelsong

yes, we are moving on Thursday! We arranged for the electricity to be turned on yesterday.

7:52 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, when you are there a year you will have more experience and you will be an asset to the firm...reviews are very stressful...go in there armed with information

7:52 am

hurshy

it would make really good kindling, doesn't burn too fast

7:52 am

Anniebrook

LOL

7:53 am

dcseain

LOL, hursh

7:53 am

Dorens

Well, I have to run.... drive to Boston in a few minutes.....Hurshy, you will definitely be better prepared for the one year review.... it will be better, by then they will know how indispensable you are (as long asyou don't burn the place down)

7:53 am

lilliann

thats good to hear angel,bet you can't wait to get in now.hope the move goes smoothly for you!

7:53 am

BabbleRabble

I would be curious to find out how many receptionists the company has had in the last ten years. Perhaps the company views the position as one that is not difficult to fill at the low end salary it is willing to pay.

7:53 am

chiley

In the future, I wouldn't burn letters praising me. I would save them for future job applications.

7:53 am

Anniebrook

drive safely, dorens

7:54 am

lilliann

bye dorens

7:54 am

hurshy

they already said, in the letter, about looking forward to having me around long term, and how they pride themselves on taking care of their people... argh i don't get it

7:54 am

hurshy

yes, i was going to do that chiley, but then i forgot about that and couldn't sleep till it wasn't there anymore.

7:55 am

Angelsong

the sinks and toilets were going in yesterday. The front yard was sodded on Thursday.

7:55 am

dcseain

yes, esp starting you so close to what you asked, then raising you offeectively nothing

7:55 am

chiley

My mom always said The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Maybe they're waiting to see if you stand up for yourself.

7:55 am

dcseain

so, a year hence, it'll look up, or you'll know to start looking elsewhere.

7:55 am

lilliann

will it all be finished by then angel?

7:55 am

joso

Perhaps respond with a letter Hurshy, writing it will help shape your thoughts on the matter in a less emotional way, ie, dissapointed in the raise because bla bla bla (point 1, point 2, point 3, etc), will be looking closely at the 1 year review for these reasons. And they seem to prefer to comunicate via letter.

7:55 am

dcseain

good point, chiley.

7:56 am

Angelsong

oh yes. Carpet and tile are being laid today.

7:56 am

hurshy

i don't see why people should have to stand up for themselves to get what they are worth. it is really not fair to those of us who have severe social handicaps

7:56 am

Angelsong

walk through is on Tuesday; closing on Thursday, and we will get the keys.

7:56 am

BabbleRabble

If so, they do not take care of their people unless they are pushed

7:57 am

lilliann

do you have to do any painting or is it all done for you?

7:57 am

hurshy

all of your suggestions are good except i don't know if i could bring myself to do anything like that. i feel like if i express any dissatisfaction it will make all future interactions awkward.

7:57 am

dcseain

congrats, angelsong :)

7:58 am

hurshy

somebody needs to tell high school kids the truth about life.

7:58 am

dcseain

hursh, the feelings of teh potential awkwardness, based on your past experience, or based on interactions with them?

testify, hurshy!

7:59 am

hurshy

based on... the fact that i tend to feel awkward around anybody under any circumstances anyway and anything could make that feeling worse

7:59 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, is it a large firm...do they have a human resource department?

7:59 am

lilliann

how old are the kids when they leave school in the us?

7:59 am

hurshy

no, it is a 7 person office.

8:00 am

EspritdJean

Imeant 18

8:00 am

Anniebrook

who would you have to speak to..re: more money?

8:00 am

dcseain

my class ranged from 16.5 to 19.5.

8:00 am

Angelsong

18, most of the time, liliann

8:00 am

lilliann

the government are thinking of extending the age to 18 here

8:01 am

hurshy

actually annie, that's another thing, i don't really know which person i would be expected to speak to.

8:01 am

dcseain

in an office that small, starting at the top is often the best option with such.

8:01 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, then who can you ask?

8:02 am

hurshy

anyone i ask, everyone else will know i asked. that's another reason i don't want to.

8:02 am

dcseain

why are the gov't considering that, lilliann?

8:02 am

lilliann

don't know dc.

8:02 am

BabbleRabble

hurshy, my suggestion is to right a letter to management thanking them for the raise, point out the salary stats you have and ask if you may anticipate raises to bring your salary inline. If not, start looking.

8:02 am

BabbleRabble

write

8:03 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, have a job lined up first

8:03 am

hurshy

of course annie.

8:03 am

dcseain

i must go bathe and dress, i've a busy day today. hope you al lhave a great day/evening, and hursh, i look forward to hearing how this plays out for you. *hug*

8:04 am

i might try to take some courses in... something... i don't know what... and do something different.

8:04 am

dcseain

8:04 am

Flask1

a clue please for tr5/10?

8:04 am

lilliann

perhaps they think children need more education before going out into the big bad world!!the only thing is,is that they will have to either extend schools or build more and there will be more teachers needed,so alot more money will be neede

8:05 am

EspritdJean

attempts

8:05 am

hurshy

it would help if i were remotely interested in anything

8:05 am

BabbleRabble

tr 5 -- attempts

8:05 am

Flask1

thanks Esprit....nice to see you, how you doin'?

8:05 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, if you like this job I would stay the year and see how it plays out re: your next review..but go in armed with information about health expenses and salaries..don't take this as an insult..it really isnt..they are cheap

8:05 am

Flask1

and to you too Babrab!

8:06 am

BabbleRabble

8:06 am

8:08 am

one thing you whacky mericans might consider is putting a whole hell of a lot morre pressure on your congressional and senate representatives to institute a single payer health care system. it baffles me that you abide by having your health and security held hostage by insurance companies. bizarre.

8:09 am

cool girl

8:13 am

America is such an amazing place, so much to offer but your politicians seem determined to sell off the interests of the populace to the highest bidding lobby. Sadly, our current Canadian government seems eager to emulate that pattern.

8:13 am

lilliann

did you get the clue cool?

8:13 am

cool girl

thanks that was right in front of me

8:13 am

From the outside looking in, America seems to have dug a gigantic hole and leapt in to dig deeper still. Your international reputation is in tatters and it appears there are huge troubles socially and economically on the horizon. Given the gumption and energy of the population it is a wonder there hasn't been a general strike and a mass march on Washington.

Baby steps, Carlee, for everyone. Think about a year from now and reflecting back on what you all endured.

doxy1lover

9:18 am

Atalante

I dislocated one side of my sacro-iliac joint a few years ago. Actually dislocated is the wrong word but can't think of the right word. Never been in so much pain

9:18 am

Scrabbler

When I play up at the net I pretend that I am a goaltender and I dive for shots or go down on my knees. However, I am 48 and must give up this fantasy of being in the NHL.

9:18 am

9:19 am

Scrabbler

Atalante--sacroiliac joint subluxation----> sclerotomal pain involving the nerves (L1-2-3).

9:19 am

carleekat

I just keep trying to rememebr that for all the frustration I am feeling his is 100 fold..but... I of course am the whipping post for the frustration and if I lash back it will just escalate the situation....so... I may loose my tongue to my teeth in the coming weeks

9:19 am

cool girl

can someone put the 6s up please and how many of each there are

9:19 am

lilliann

i'm only 38, i'm not ready to die or give in yet and i'm a fun loving person who enjoys life.life is too short as it is and you never know whats around the corner as i have learnt and also carlees hubby

9:20 am

cool girl

vegier

9:20 am

Scrabbler

LOL, bbnaz, my body cannot function like that anymore. I don't want to experience this pain again.

9:20 am

cool girl

sorry wrong box

9:21 am

bbnaz

oh come on. in january i am 51 and i firmly believe that one should slide into death fully used up, not pristine and tidy (of course i don't ride the really rank horses anymore....nothing to prove ;~p)

9:21 am

Scrabbler

bbnaz, good for you!!

9:22 am

Atalante

My left ilium ended up displaced about 1/2 cm above the same level on my sacrum on my left side. Ow. owowowow

9:23 am

bbnaz

Sorry Carlee, but I also firmly believe that you must set some boundaries for your sanity. What has happened is horrible but you are not responsible and whilst you may love the fellow, well just make sure he knows how you feel, not how he makes you feel. does that make sense?

9:23 am

doxy1lover

will bbl.

9:23 am

bbnaz

and Scrabs, not necessarily, I hurt like the dickens (rolling eyes here)

9:23 am

Scrabbler

OUCH, Ata. I started with the sacoriliac pain on Tues AM, then the nerve pain started Wed. I feared a herniated disk, but that is not the case.

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

ihad sciactic pain and wanted to jump out of my skin

9:24 am

carleekat

we dealt with that a little bit this am...I was told quite bluntly at 6:30 while helping get his gear together for his cathetar..to f%^$ing get my act together.... as if I KNOW what he needs ashe has "shut me out" for all personal care activities

9:24 am

bbnaz

Carlee, scratch that advice. It doesn't come across on chat like i mean it to

9:25 am

lilliann

scrabs, i suffer from menieres disease and had treatment to help cure it as my balance was going and my bairn was a baby and i was frightened of falling over with her so i had the treatment.it destroyed all my balance on one side and now the other side is deteriorating on its own. my consultant told me i had an allergic reaction to the treatment.i now fall over alot and bang into furniture and walls in the house, but i won't use a wheelchair in the house,only when i go out because i can't walk far.i have to lie down alot as i get dizzy and pressure in my head, but eh, thats life and we get on with it,there's people worse off than me!!

9:25 am

Atalante

very ouch! I sympathise utterly, scrabbler, and hope you feel very better very soon!

9:25 am

Scrabbler

I had that twice, last in 1992, and that is unbearable. This feels similar, but no pain with cough/sneeze/strain that is present with a disk popping out.

9:26 am

bbnaz

I think my perspective is different due to having a child with Down syndrome and my advice is very personal.

9:26 am

lilliann

i hope you fell better very soon scrabs.

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

carlee, my mom was like that beacuse she had to endure taking care of basic personal needs for my grandfather, she would not let ANY of us do so for her. we had an aide come in to sponge bathe her etc.

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Lill--you have endured so much! I am so sorry. Did you have acoustic neuromas?

9:28 am

Atalante

they are so many brave people here

9:28 am

lilliann

carlee, don't let him get you down,he has also got to come to terms with things and there are plenty of things he can do for himself and plus he'll just have to learn to do other things.i was told by my ot that i have to grieve for the person i was as i'm now a different person

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

*in awe of the strength shown here*

9:29 am

bbnaz

An acoustic neuroma is a tumor on the 8th cranial nerve. It can cause vertigo and when removed, e.g. gamma knife radiation, can render the person deaf.

lilliann

hi again dc

9:39 am

bbnaz

Lilli. I would then have to feel responsible for my older daughter's childhood being "altered" because her younger sister took so much time and effort due to down syndrome. It is more us projecting our realities of what we wished for onto folks who don't know any different.

9:39 am

joanne0334

hi dc

9:39 am

bbnaz

does that make any sense?

9:39 am

9:41 am

bbnaz

I grieved for the daughter that never was when Kinney was born. Didn't mean that I wasn't in love with Kinney but rather grieving the loss of the "what should have been". Then I got on with the task of living. It ain't always easy.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Yuck, nosebleeds are yucky and messy.

9:41 am

joanne0334

9:41 am

bbnaz

She has my mum's maiden name

9:42 am

lilliann

i think i have grieved for the person i was then sometimes i remember how i use to be and it starts again, but i'm not a person to get bogged down with things, i still have a good life and lovely family and they are my life

joanne0334

sorry sprite

10:17 am

Flask1

did u know Sprite that the chat can be switched off??

10:18 am

sprite

I know, Flask... but I like the chat. Just not all those spelling clues or clues that give the first 4 or 5 letters of a word. So will be back later.

10:20 am

Flask1

well....there's a very true saying..."You can please some of the people some of the time.....but never all of them all of the time!

10:21 am

joanne0334

yep

10:21 am

lilliann

very true flask

10:21 am

Atalante

but I think Sprite is in the majority of not liking words to be spelled out!

10:21 am

lilliann

not everyone is a walking dictionary!

10:22 am

Vicuna

I'm with her, anyway.

10:22 am

sprite

guess that is what comes from babbling since the early days... when it was still ok if the puzzle was a challenge and nobody wanted their puzzle words spelled out. And I am not the only one who hates this, just one of the few that says so.

10:22 am

dcseain

yes, ata, i'm in that camp, but sometimes it's necessary for some people.

10:22 am

Scarlet

Good morning, all.

10:22 am

sprite

you don't have to be a walking dictionary to make a good clue that is NOT obvious.

10:22 am

Vicuna

Most of us are more of sitting on our lazy bums dictionarues, actually.

10:22 am

sprite

it is not, dc. People can do better with clues and it does not hurt to think a little longer sometimes.

10:22 am

rururocks

i generally don't like them spelled out either

10:22 am

rururocks

i generally don't like them spelled out either

10:22 am

sprite

I second Vic

10:22 am

Scarlet

Oh, darn. I changed my icon for Sprite's mythical creatures and all I see is Guernica!

10:23 am

sprite

hey Scarlet *hug* Sorry to welcome you in this...

10:23 am

Atalante

rather than saying re + ge4, say to go from 2nd to 3rd again, or something!

10:23 am

lilliann

you are right with your opinion vicuna but not everyone knows the words or understands the clues you do

10:23 am

sprite

I see the mythical creature, Scarlet, and it is lovely!

10:23 am

Vicuna

I see a gorgeous chimera, Scarlet.

10:23 am

dcseain

a gryffon, scarlet, lovely!

10:23 am

rururocks

heat

10:23 am

Scarlet

Oh, sprite... we are such a diverse group... Oh, wonderful, Vicuna!! :-)

10:23 am

dcseain

yeah, we've needed ours lately, ruru

10:23 am

Scarlet

Thank you too, dc!

10:24 am

Flask1

Well....what a great pity we're not all as good as you, Sprite!!!!

10:24 am

Scarlet

Thank you sprite!

10:24 am

rururocks

boy is that true dc.. some toughy grids in this last week

10:24 am

Vicuna

True enough, rurocks! More of it may be generated than light by these discussions!

10:25 am

sprite

so perhaps, if one cannot find the words with the 2nd letter clues AND the numerous clues in the log, finishing the grid is over his or her he4? Or do we really need to dummy the whole thing down? Post a list of all the words so everybody can find all just by looking them up?

10:25 am

Atalante

oh flask

10:25 am

Scarlet

Do I need to unloose this chimera? LOL...

10:25 am

sprite

yeah, I knew one would be calling me arrogant now... well, so be it. I know I am not. I am just a serious puzzler who does NOT mind to give it some effort.

10:26 am

Flask1

there speaks the Babble genius!

10:26 am

lilliann

we are all different and come from many walks of life and different countries so some clues may help some but not others

10:26 am

dcseain

sprite, i am very much the intellectual snob, and understand where you're coming from, and largely agree with you.

10:26 am

joanne0334

ok sprite ..but i may be there half the time cause i must be pretty dumb with some of these words hehe

10:26 am

sprite

I'd love that, Scarlet... just to see it fly! They are beautiful creatures of myth.

10:26 am

Flask1

THEN SWITCH THE CHAT OFF!!!!

10:26 am

grammaterri1

can I get a non spelled out clue for the middle eg5 ( :

10:26 am

Atalante

flask ........ people are allowed opinions

10:26 am

Flask1

yes...and so am I!

10:26 am

Atalante

and we all love talking to Sprite, and she has just as much right to chat as you

10:27 am

sprite

I dont want to, Flask. I like that chat. Have been chatting for much longer than you. I like lots of the people here. I should not need to switch off the chat, just because some people want their words spelled out.

10:27 am

Atalante

agreed, sprite

10:27 am

Flask1

and tell that to the other person in this discussion....she started it with her rudeness!

10:27 am

joanne0334

can we all just get along..this is suppose to be fun yes??

10:27 am

sprite

*hugs grammaterri*

10:27 am

sprite

I have not been rude at all. I have just told what I think of this.

10:27 am

Scarlet

Yes, sprite... please, kids... don't argue... we gain nothing but ill feelings... The Golden Rule applies to every part of our lives... We must be gracious to one another at all costs... we are all different, and opinionated... PAX?

10:28 am

joanne0334

it did sound kinda rude sprite

10:28 am

Shawnee

Happy Saturday Babbler Buddies

10:28 am

lilliann

there are polite and nice ways to say things.

10:28 am

joanne0334

at least it sounded that way

10:28 am

rururocks

I think it was pretty straightforward and not meant in a rude way

10:28 am

Flask1

yes...and it was poor joanne that bore your rudeness!!

10:29 am

sprite

well, I have asked nicely about a thousand times now, so if you cannot handle plain and simple stated facts, perhaps it would be great if you had listened to the nicer requests earlier.

10:29 am

lilliann

hi shawnee,don't know about happy!!!

10:29 am

sprite

hi Shawnee.

10:29 am

grammaterri1

I found that eg5, never mind (;

10:29 am

lilliann

i've never heard you before sprite.

10:29 am

Vicuna

lol, grammaterri! Good for you carrying on in the midst of this ruckus!

10:29 am

Flask1

Ive never ever heard them Sprite!

10:29 am

dcseain

this in the 3 time in the last 24 hours this same conversation has been had. Haz brought this up, as did, oh i forget who the other wos.

10:29 am

joanne0334

that's ok flask i have broad shoulders

10:30 am

sprite

but again, I have not been rude. I still am not being rude. But posting spelled clues in the chat, after so many requests from many many babblers, could be considered rude.

10:30 am

sprite

Haz is just like me, dc. Also one who likes the challenge of the grid and does not need spelling clues.

10:30 am

lilliann

i've never heard any request when i've been on, sorry sprite

10:30 am

Atalante

and flask, if sprite was rude, you certainly were, unfortunately. can we discuss nicely if we have to discuss?

10:30 am

joanne0334

i will just stay in the bush

10:30 am

grammaterri1

lol vicuna ( :

10:31 am

sprite

gramma is the best :)

10:31 am

rururocks

I prefer the clues like "french pants" or "motor parts....rather than having it spelled out

10:31 am

sprite

I did not have the word yet, grammaterri, or I would have given you the non-spelling clue! ;)

10:31 am

dcseain

oh, yes, haz explained to me, and i concur.

10:31 am

Flask1

Atal....I am only returning the compliment to Sprite!

10:31 am

10:37 am

poor doggie!

10:37 am

Atalante

some pics of the waves on flickr. the seahere is normally a millpond

10:37 am

Vicuna

No, I know it's serious, but the story of the boy who saved the country is such a stereotype here.

10:37 am

lilliann

it means the winds up and blowing well

10:38 am

Shawnee

ty lill, I was close to right

10:38 am

harpjane

is the la5/16 a common word?

10:38 am

I have not heard of serious breaching, but they had to be on guard all the time and make the dikes higher. (yeah, hahaha, dikes)

10:38 am

sprite

I know, Vic! What the Netherlands are famous for ;)

10:38 am

Scarlet

sprite, thank you for last night's introduction to kottles (sp?). Is it a salty cripsy coil that goes well with balancing your chocolate?

10:38 am

Vicuna

la5/16 - common if you study bugs

10:38 am

Yes, but I'm sick of finding it in my grid! lol

10:41 am

Atalante

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus:
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

10:42 am

rururocks

LOL

10:42 am

dcseain

there are many fetas - goats-milk greek, cows-milk danish and french ar the primary fetas. I like goat feta best. Some ar soft and creamy, some harder and crumbly.

10:42 am

sprite

oh yes, very well translated! How great!

10:42 am

Atalante

apparently it was sung by a guy called Ronnie Hlton

10:42 am

dcseain

hee! that's delightful, ata

The french are less tangy and creamier.. but a bit saltier

10:43 am

lilliann

rururocks

10:43 am

funny detail: in the dutch version they do not mention Amsterdam that often, but the old name that is used by the original people of amsterdam: Mokum.

10:44 am

Atalante

oh really? how interesting!

10:44 am

smaller

i'm half geek. ...but i don't know if i have any cheeses associated with that lineage.

10:44 am

Er was eens een muisje in mooi Amsterdam
Die zat in een molen heel stiekem verscholen
Hij dacht bij zichzelf: wat is het toch fijn
Een muis in een molen in Mokum te zijn

Ik zag een muis!
Waar?
Daar op de trap
Waar op de trap?
Nou daar!
Een kleine muis op klompjes
Nee, 't is geen grap
't Ging van klip klippedieklap op de trap
Oh, ja!

Holland is big is some aspects... still a tiny spot on the world map though ;)

my husband is definitely a geek- a geeky geeky geek. I, on the other hand, am a geek- but a cool, hip geek

10:49 am

my husband has a mug that says "MIT: Nerd Pride"

10:49 am

Thanks, sprite... I always miss that one!

10:49 am

my dad was a geek in the 50's and 60's so there was no hope for me

10:49 am

sprite

yeah, happens to me a lot as well, Scarlet!

10:49 am

sprite

lol Inge

10:50 am

rururocks

I am a hard-working geek... trying to avoid geeky things

10:50 am

Inge2

and harp, you are right. The MIT football cheer, when they lose (as they usually do) is: "That's all right, that's okay, You're going to work for us some day!"

10:50 am

Vicuna

Actually, I prefer to self-identify as a nerd.

10:50 am

lideola

lol i didn't even know they had a football team

10:50 am

Scarlet

If geeks are so unappetizing to the majority of the world, then why am I fascinated with Robert Oppenheimer and my secret love, Dr. Stephen Hawking? LOL

10:50 am

lideola

a chess team, a robotics team- sure

10:50 am

dcseain

i attend sci-fi conventions sometimes, and work technical helpesks. Though really, i'm a language geek.

sprite

yw dc *hug* Have fun!

10:51 am

Scarlet

EVER!

10:51 am

Maybe there isn't one, inge. But I think of nerd as saying more about the intellect and geek as saying more about the affect.

10:51 am

lilliann

wtg dc!!

10:51 am

Scarlet

Enjoy yourself, dc!

10:51 am

isn't geek more technical and nerd is non technical?

then there is the age old aregument between "redneck" and "hick" in my neck of the woods

10:53 am

Flask1

whats the difference between the two??

10:54 am

lideola

hick to me is someone with country ways... redneck is an insult- beer drinking, wife beating type

10:54 am

Scarlet

A hick is unsophisticated... a redneck rejects everything ourside of his environment...

10:54 am

Vicuna

Well, time for this nerd to get lunch on the table. Goodbye for now.

10:54 am

lideola

at least to me

i don't think they were so different

10:57 am

well done nono!

10:57 am

Scarlet

Well, Flask, the answers are very much the same, though.

10:57 am

lilliann

please,not another argument!!!

10:58 am

lideola

i don't see an argument

10:58 am

lilliann

are the rednecks the klu klux clan?

10:58 am

Scarlet

The rejection of the redneck includes anyone else's skin color, religion, alcohol and the purpose of women in their lives... No arguments here at all... Fear not, lilliann, I am a peacenik! :-)

10:58 am

Shawnee

I prefer the term country, but that is just me.

10:58 am

sprite

tsktsk, childish...

10:58 am

Flask1

who's arguing?

10:58 am

lilliann

i was only joking lide!!

10:59 am

lilliann

joke

10:59 am

sprite

lol Scarlet

10:59 am

Scarlet

LOL....let's not fight about fighting... I am laughing so hard now....

11:00 am

sprite

Actually, this is interesting. I never even knew what a redneck was until someone explained to me some years ago. I stand corrected now and will add the term hick. Hick = what I thought was a redneck. A redneck is now explained to me very clearly!

11:00 am

lideola

i'm just fighting to grey out some boxes

11:00 am

Flask1

NO....I in my infinite wisdom [lol]..thought they were one and the same....I am obviously very wrong!!

11:00 am

sprite

that's the only worthwhile fight, lideola ;)

11:01 am

Scarlet

A hick is not a bad thing at all... most hicks are family values folks who are not terribly impacted by the rocketing advancements of society and science... but, there are many more computers in the country now....

11:01 am

lideola

they are very commonly used interchangeably... and you wouldn't be corrected if you did switch them up- i think its more a matter of opinion than anything

11:01 am

Shawnee

lol sprite. to me they are somewhat similar, flask, except Jeff Foxworthy made millions off of redneck not hick

11:02 am

lideola

exactly Shawnee- Jeff Foxworthy made "redneck" more socially acceptable

11:02 am

lideola

and not as derogatory

11:02 am

Anniebrook

The Beverly Hillbillies were hicks. Duke Cunningham is a redneck

11:03 am

Flask1

I loved the original Beverly hillbillies!!!

11:03 am

Anniebrook

to me they are not similar, rednecks hate...hicks are simple country folk

11:03 am

Shawnee

I get called both alot of the time, just because I grew up in the country and have a slight accent. Doesn't bother me any

11:03 am

lilliann

are the rednecks from the south.forgive my dumbness,but i don't know alot about american history

11:03 am

Scarlet

But Foxworthy made the redneck sound as though he were the Piltdown man... not too attractive, nor bright...

11:03 am

Anniebrook

Flask, werent they wonderful

11:03 am

Scarlet

Hi, AnnieBrooklyn!!

11:04 am

Shawnee

redneck did originally come from the deep south, I think

11:04 am

Scarlet

No, lil... rednecks hail from any corner of the planet.

11:04 am

lilliann

or geography even

11:04 am

Flask1

Oh yes Annie....

11:04 am

Anniebrook

{{scarlet}} have to leave for Bobby's birthday lunch but had to put my 2 cents in

11:04 am

Anniebrook

rednecks are from the south

11:04 am

Anniebrook

rednecks are from the south

11:04 am

lideola

nah- its not exactly a geographical divide. I live in the Northeastern part of the country and wouldn't be too hard pressed to find a good amount up here

11:05 am

lizmac

Any clues for the RE6s, please?

11:05 am

mcurlschool

not exactly a true statement Annie; I live in the Pac NW and we have a large population of rednecks!

11:05 am

so is a Redneck....more a sort of type of person.....that where they come from??

11:05 am

hey Annie

Very good distinction, Flask, and, yes.

TY, Li!

11:07 am

great clues, lideola!

11:07 am

Scarlet

Someone asked earlier about the KKK... yes, entirely redneck, but unacknowledged as such... Hatred was the driving motivaton.

11:07 am

lilliann

ty for that annie

11:07 am

Anniebrook

Well said, scarlet

11:07 am

lilliann

that was me scarlet

11:08 am

sprite

and where hatred rules, all sanity is history

11:08 am

Shawnee

totally agree scarlet.

11:08 am

Flask1

so all rednecks are bigoted etc/.?

11:08 am

Anniebrook

I always thought of the KKK as rednecks, to me there were one and the same, hence, the South designation...

11:09 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Flask, they are bigoted

11:09 am

lideola

KKK is not strictly southern though

11:09 am

lilliann

why to people hate that much???

11:09 am

lideola

i live in philadelphia and saw signs up on the lampposts for the KKK

11:09 am

mcurlschool

because they were never raised to believe otherwise

11:09 am

lilliann

and i'm not just talking about the kkk

11:09 am

Shawnee

heavens no, there are KKK everywhere, the midwest is full of them

11:09 am

off to dinner now, bye, will be back to finish later.

11:10 am

bye Sprite!

11:10 am

lilliann

bye sprite.enjoy your dinner

11:10 am

Don't forget the Lincoln Rockwell had a nest of hatred with his KKK in Waukeegan, Illinois, I believe...

11:11 am

Scarlet

Bye, sprite! See you soon!

11:11 am

Anniebrook

Have to leave for a while, till later, dear babblers

11:11 am

lideola

i think its mostly learned behavior passed down through generations

11:11 am

Does the KKK still carry clout?

11:11 am

Scarlet

Later, Dear Annie... enjoy Bobby's dinner!

Exactly, lideola.

11:11 am

lideola

in some areas

11:12 am

lideola

when you get to the more rural parts of the country

11:12 am

lilliann

i suppose that the same with any family,gang or religion lide

11:12 am

lideola

yes

11:12 am

mcurlschool

I live in a pretty rural part of the country and we don't have any clout carrying KKK

11:13 am

Flask1

true lillian

11:13 am

lideola

sorry- it was a generalization, but not meant to be all-inclusive

11:13 am

Scarlet

Yes, Flask... it is more secretive now with the heightened public awareness.. but the paranoia is relegated to "survivalists" and racial separists..

11:13 am

Shawnee

older members of my own family have very biased opinions and aren't afraid to share them. I on the other hand cringe when they start the "old discussions"

11:14 am

lilliann

it'll be the same as here where you have the nf and they live all over the country, in towns or rural

11:14 am

Scarlet

I cannot allow myself to be subjected to any discussions of bias and racial hatred... thank goodness it's not in my family, Shawnee... I really feel for you!

11:14 am

lideola

Its more covert now- the flyers on the lightpoles near me had pictures of african american youths all pointing guns at each other

11:15 am

lilliann

that must be hard shawnee

11:15 am

Scarlet

That's part of the twisted psychology, lideola... "Let them kill themselves".... hideous.

11:15 am

Shawnee

Hubby and I raise our kiddos to have unbiased, non judgemental opinions of anyone, people are people in this house, there are good and bad in everyone regardless of the particulars

11:15 am

lideola

and the caption said, "Coming soon to your neighborhood, then went on to explain how you can call this number and prevent it from happening

11:15 am

well said shawnee, that's how we have bought up our daughter aswell

i'm here, hursh, but not a football fan . . .

1:07 pm

Judi

Who wha? Hi, Hurshy. I'm listening to the Univ. Delaware vs. Richmond online. What's on ESPN?

1:08 pm

hurshy

you need not be a football fan

1:08 pm

hurshy

it's just my college is on, which doesn't happen usually

1:08 pm

Judi

Which college is that?

1:08 pm

hurshy

williams vs. amherst (williams is in the purple unis)

1:08 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, ok :-)

1:09 pm

hurshy

williams = good, amherst = evil

1:09 pm

Judi

And is Williams winning?

1:09 pm

hurshy

yes

1:10 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

1:10 pm

hurshy

williams generally does, and amherst has not won a game at williams since 1985, they just mentioned.

1:10 pm

Judi

Well, hot diddly damn!

1:10 pm

hurshy

oh i just saw morty!

1:11 pm

he's the pres of the college... looks kinda like anderson cooper

bubba218

av6 please

1:12 pm

Judi

Hmmm. Anderson Cooper is yummy (even though he might be gay). Is Morty cute too?

1:13 pm

hurshy

well i guess - he's older than anderson cooper though and i'm pretty sure he's married

1:13 pm

Uneaixoise

av6 character you choose to represent you in an online game

1:13 pm

hurshy

<---- av6

1:14 pm

Judi

I must insist that "hiree" is a word.

1:14 pm

hurshy

they give you a lot of "er"s without the corresponding "ee"s - except tutee

1:15 pm

bubba218

Hurshy, baby and infant don't have a "v" in them?

1:15 pm

re6 (the first one)

1:15 pm

well but une explained what i meant

1:15 pm

hurshy

also if you watched charmed, the av6's were going to rid the world of all evil...

1:15 pm

hurshy

...but it didn't work out so well

1:16 pm

Judi

I also thought "intiger" was a word, but I may have my vowels misplaced.

1:16 pm

bubba218

re + the little wheels with that work a clock

1:19 pm

bubba218

any other clues for the av6, my last word

1:19 pm

Judi

Ha. I topped out at algebra. Everything after that was incomprehensible.

1:19 pm

Uneaixoise

loved algebra and trig . . .

this is probably the only time you will see a football player being interviewed on television use the word "prolific"

the athletic director at williams is also an alum, and he likes to tell the story of when he first got hired as the basketball coach that really brought home to him that he was back at williams - one game, a player was protesting to a ref about an out of bounds call: "hey! i did not get here of my own volition!"

1:22 pm

inge

bubba218

I would imagine once the lesion has been removed, he shoud be able to play as well as previously. May require some time to build up his muscle strength and dexterity.

1:24 pm

hurshy

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

Hello all, I am back to find some more words.

1:32 pm

hurshy

oh i think i just saw bruce!

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

Bruce who?

1:33 pm

hurshy

one of the a/v people at williams

1:33 pm

MizHoffle

clue for 2nd ra 5/10 please

1:33 pm

bookwomen

that guy on the video is amazing. how does he do that?

1:33 pm

Scrabbler

A local kid, a tennis star at my high school alma mater, just started at Williams.

1:33 pm

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

Ty, bubba and bookwomen

1:34 pm

bookwomen

sorry that is the 3rd. second is ra+opposite of short-l

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

Good, Inge.

1:34 pm

hurshy

well sc, tell him that when they say "you have plenty of time to figure out what to do with your life" that is complete BS

1:35 pm

MizHoffle

thanks! I tried every combo but that one!

1:35 pm

Scrabbler

Well, that line does not apply to 4 yrs of college, ot even life.

1:35 pm

MizHoffle

only 2 left, the ve 5/20 and 6/33. Clues for either?

1:35 pm

Scrabbler

*not even life

1:35 pm

hurshy

yeah well they say it anyway

1:36 pm

Scrabbler

Not fruitie (s), MizH

1:36 pm

bubba218

ve5,20 what you mother told you to eat, it is good for your eyes

1:36 pm

Scrabbler

I am still trying to figure out what to do with my life. hursh, have you read, "Eat, Pray, Love"?

1:37 pm

bookwomen

ve 5/20 carrots, corn, peas, etc. plural for 6

1:37 pm

hurshy

no, but i'm reading "what should i do with my life?"

1:37 pm

MizHoffle

thanks again, I thought those were spelled with 2 g's, that got me confused.

1:37 pm

MizHoffle

fireworks!!

1:37 pm

hurshy

i think i may have figured out what i WANT to do... but the implementation is problematic at best.

1:37 pm

Scrabbler

Or, "What Color is Your Parachute?"

1:38 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, HUrsh--implementation requires time and money, 2 big hurdles.

1:38 pm

hurshy

my dad read that one, i know.

1:38 pm

hurshy

time and money... when you are single with a full time job that pays just enough... hmmmm

1:39 pm

bookwomen

have a good afternoon everyone.

1:39 pm

Scrabbler

Another great one, that I read many times and highlighted is "Callings" by, I think, Greg Levoy

1:39 pm

Scrabbler

www.gregglevoy.com

1:43 pm

hurshy

ooh there's harry sheehy

1:45 pm

hurshy

i kin see the dorm where i lived as a frosh

1:47 pm

Marmar

Hi everyone. Ever since Judy said "popcorn", I can think of nothing else. I suppose I have to go make some too.

1:49 pm

Scrabbler

I thought about making popcorn too.

1:49 pm

Scrabbler

Did you enjoy your years at Williams, Hursh?

1:50 pm

hurshy

yeah

1:50 pm

hurshy

but if i could go back... i would do things a lot differently. might not go.

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

My best part of college was being on the tennis team, with that core of women. We had a great time together, practicing and traveling.

1:51 pm

hurshy

yeah, the friends are what make college good

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

What would have done differently?

1:52 pm

hurshy

well, see, i grew up smart. everyone always said, you can do anything you want. and they said you go to a top college, you can do anything you want.

1:53 pm

hurshy

what they didn't tell you is that all the things people do after williams require ridiculous amounts of work, and that if you just want a regular 40-hour job, and you don't have a passion, you are qualified for ... nothing.

1:53 pm

Scrabbler

"you can do anything you want" = not so easy at all

1:54 pm

hurshy

really, you pretty much either HAVE to earn an advanced degree after that, or go into i-banking or something where they work the most awful hours.

1:54 pm

Scrabbler

There are so many tough decisions along the way of life, in the midst of self-discovery.

1:55 pm

hurshy

i didn't know i would have to get more degrees to do anything, and my parents weren't paying for more, and i was brought up very-anti debt, so borrowing for an advanced degree (that i wouldn't be sure i wanted anyway) has never seemed like something i could do

1:55 pm

hurshy

which would pretty much mean i would have to get a PhD in a specific subject, where they pay you to go

1:55 pm

Scrabbler

Hurshy, for the short-term, just earn some money while you go through this transition in your journey.

1:56 pm

hurshy

which would necessitate being interested enough in one particular thing to spend years and years on it

1:56 pm

hurshy

what i would do if i were graduating HS now is have my parents pay for me to get a practical degree - an associates in something or whatever. i'd become a plumber or a court reporter or something.

1:57 pm

hurshy

lesson: don't go to a top college if you're not a type-

1:57 pm

bethn

hurshy, do you live at home ( with mom & dad) my daughter did her post grad work and worked at the uni- it paid her tuition & a stipend

1:57 pm

hurshy

type-A personality

1:57 pm

hurshy

no, beth... i'm 30, separated, living alone and working as an admin assistant, pays the bills but i can't save.

1:58 pm

bethn

that is rough- what area of the country do you live in?

1:58 pm

Scrabbler

Type-A personality people pay high prices for their behavior much of the time.

1:58 pm

hurshy

new england

1:59 pm

hurshy

the other big lie is that being good looking and popular is only important in high school and the smart people win in the end. so not true.

1:59 pm

bethn

not a very cheap area to make ends meet

1:59 pm

Scrabbler

And their spouses and kids suffer too. "success" has many definitions.

2:00 pm

hurshy

no, but it's where my family is and i've always lived here, it would be hard for me to live elsewhere.

2:00 pm

hurshy

but like, i don't understand how anyone does the things... like you, scrabbler, you're a doctor - how on earth did you get through the horrid hours of residency?

2:00 pm

hurshy

i just could never handle that

2:00 pm

Scrabbler

You need to find a niche for yourself, Husrh, and that takes soul-searching and patience.

2:01 pm

hurshy

well here is what i would like to do. i would like to have my own business as a professional organizer/problem solver. like consultants, but for people instead of businesses.

2:02 pm

hurshy

so, i answered an ad on craigslist today for someone looking for help organizing their house. maybe that will be a start.

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

I just was carried along the pre-med and medical training rat race, because I didn't know what else to do, but I realized I was smarter and nicer than the other pre-meds. My success carried me along, and God's grace was there too.

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

So, become a Life Coach, Hurshy!!

2:03 pm

Uneaixoise

i was thinking the same thing, scrab!

2:03 pm

bethn

you should start with friends & family place ads in local papers & build by word of mouth craig's list sounds like a great start!

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Read the book, "Drawn to the Rhythm" and then e-mail the author--I did!

2:03 pm

hurshy

but i want to actually do things hands-on, do life coaches do things hands-on?

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

See, Team Hursh is here to help.

2:04 pm

Scrabbler

You can create a "concierge" business.

2:04 pm

hurshy

well i may start trying to do some of that evenings and weekends and see how it goes

2:05 pm

hurshy

but naturally i haven't got the resources to just - do it.

2:05 pm

Burrito

anyone read free food for millionaires

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

usiness/businessideas/startupkits/arti
cle37930.html

2:06 pm

Burrito

much of hurshy's problems tossed about in it

2:06 pm

Krista

Hurshy, just jumping on here, but i can truly relate to what you are saying. Read my profile. I have so many interests, was told I was capable of doing anything I wanted/be anything I wanted to be, but have spent my whole life trying to narrow "it" down. And I'm now 40 and going through an existential crisis with WAAY to much student loan debt. I have a bachelor's in social work, which pays diddly squat, and even with a master's isn't much. I have a burning desire to help others, and all my endeavors have been along those lines, but I never stay interested in anything for very long (yes, I do have adhd and have been considering meds, despite their horrible side effects) I am SO envious of those people who have a calling their whole lives and DO it. OK, enough about me. But I really do feel your pain, dear.

2:07 pm

hurshy

thanks krista

2:07 pm

Krista

Geesh, sorry about taking up all that chat real estate!

2:07 pm

hurshy

hey, i take up tons of chat room all the time, and nobody complains. well, not to my face.

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

I am proud of you, Krista!

2:09 pm

Scrabbler

I am 48 and the existential crisis is quite active still, more so as I get older....am I really doing what I am meant to do?...what "else" should I do with my time left?...what about my other talents and desires?

2:09 pm

Krista

Well, thanks, Scrab! The books mentioned below sound great..am writing down those titles.

2:09 pm

hurshy

burrito - has that book got any solutions?

2:09 pm

Scrabbler

I read Gregg Levoy's book MANY times and have recommended it to many people.

2:11 pm

Scrabbler

I still haven't gone to the supermarket to shop.....I am so lazy today.

2:11 pm

Krista

And I am the same with my family, Hurshy. Both of my husbands had/have trouble understanding the wanting to stay where the family is, because they moved around so much as kids. My parents are older and going to need me more, not less, as time goes on.

2:12 pm

Krista

I guess no one thinks of a physician going through those same thoughts, Scrab, when you have achieved so much.

2:14 pm

hurshy

it just makes me wonder... is ANYBODY happy with their life??

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

But my job has many challenges and demands. It seems crazy to walk away, but I find joy and reward where I can, I work part-time and pay the bills, have not saved in 10 yrs, went back to school to study pastoral ministry, volunteer in that.....

2:14 pm

Greeny

:) I am. It could be better, but I'm happy with how it's going.

2:15 pm

hurshy

and what do you do, greeny?

2:15 pm

Scrabbler

The key is to create BALANCE and be grateful for what you have and what you don't have. Also, read "Simple Abundance". I lead a very frugal and simple life.

2:15 pm

bethn

hursh i think you have just figured out something-on the outside other people may seem happy successful

2:15 pm

Greeny

I'm a student. So, mostly schoolwork.

2:15 pm

hurshy

oh, well, i was happy while i was a student, pretty much

2:15 pm

hurshy

talk to me later

2:16 pm

bethn

but we all suffer from the same doubts it is part of the human condition

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

Many, many people become bored and frustrated with their job/career, but plug through.

2:16 pm

pk

hi everyone

2:16 pm

bethn

hi pk

2:16 pm

Krista

I'm happy with parts. I have good relationships, but it's that self-fulfillment part that is missing. My father has called me a "professional student." :0) I can see why you would burn out, Scrabbler.

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Greeny and PK

2:17 pm

hurshy

i lead a frugal and simple life too, sc. i don't want a lot of "things" - but i would like to own my own home and i just don't see how that will ever happen.

2:17 pm

Scrabbler

I would love to work on a few PhDs if I could.

2:18 pm

Scrabbler

HUrsh, it sounds like being a Life Coach + Concierge Business Owner fit with your goals and abilities.

2:18 pm

Krista

PK, is that Ren in your icon?

2:18 pm

pk

it is!

2:19 pm

Krista

I love Ren and Stimpy. :) They're so steeeeeeenky.

2:19 pm

hurshy

yes. well, if i end up getting back together with my husband and he has a job then maybe i can do something

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

With both husbands and wives working there is a need for somone like you to help with the chaos of family life.

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

You would need to market yourself, Hursh.

2:19 pm

hurshy

i know

2:19 pm

pk

i would hire u hurshy

2:20 pm

hurshy

what would you like to hire me to do, pk? :)

2:20 pm

Krista

I girl I went to high school with started a business like that,and she is doing well. She markets more toward the elderly, but there's a need.

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

Hursh--you could help people with the decision-making of life.

2:20 pm

pk

scrabbler has a point -- some r too busy to do certain things, or have no skills

2:20 pm

Krista

I think there is a life coach association.

2:21 pm

pk

i have a basement that needs organizing

2:21 pm

hurshy

yes, and a professional organizer's association

2:21 pm

hurshy

sounds like fun!

2:22 pm

pk

see - you hear fun, i hear torture

2:22 pm

pk

it must be your calling

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

You can and will find out how to be happy and self-sufficient, hursh, and we will help you along the way.

2:23 pm

Scrabbler

There is a guy in my development and his business is home organization.

2:23 pm

hurshy

2:23 pm

2:24 pm

hurshy

Scrabbler

Wowee, pk, I live near Springville, 35 miles southeast of Buffalo.

2:25 pm

pk

2:26 pm

Krista

No one minds, Hurshy. We all need an ear (eyes) now and then.

2:26 pm

Scrabbler

I know people that live in Fairport---nice suburb and school system. (Terrible tragedy in June! :(

2:26 pm

pk

yes - we like it, my son's school is great

2:26 pm

Krista

What is the theme today? (too lazy to look)

3:11 pm

Scarlet

Well, kattie... the conciliation has to come from him... at least you led him to the peaceful waters and stated your case without hysteria.

3:11 pm

Flask1

Well, to be honest am not feeling very clever, I was in the wrong, but am not myself at the moment....

3:11 pm

carleekat

yeap.... so.. I am now alone...( sweet justice...does happen I had to administer his blood thinners ;) )

3:11 pm

Scarlet

Not now, Flask... you must be at the top of your game to take care of my Dario! *hugs* :-)

3:12 pm

Flask1

Haven't been for a while...and everyone noticing it...

3:13 pm

Scarlet

Flask, it is done. Let's move forward... certain things touch us all off. It was a moment. It is over.

3:13 pm

Flask1

......ok.....by the way Dario has me to send you the biggest hug ever...[[[[[[hugz]]]]]]].....

3:13 pm

Scarlet

Is K sleeping now, kattie? Are you to draw a few minutes of undemanding breath now.

3:17 pm

Scrabbler

I have a pot of pumpkin/apple soup simmering on the oven.

3:18 pm

angel13136

oh scrabbler that sounds so good

3:18 pm

Scarlet

I will do that, Flask! :-) Oh, Scrabbler, you did make soup... I never had pumpkin/apple... sounds like a winner!

3:21 pm

momof5

I'm having gourmet veggie pizza!!

3:22 pm

angel13136

sounds yummy

3:22 pm

Scarlet

With mushrooms and peppers, mom?

3:22 pm

momof5

Definitely. My favorite. I'd love to share it with you some time (hint)

3:23 pm

Scarlet

LOL... sounds like a good idea, mom!! :-)

3:23 pm

momof5

This one has mushrooms, onion, roma tomatoes, spinach, cucumber, and artichoke hearts with whilte sauce.

3:24 pm

Scarlet

Cucumber! That's as new as pumpkin/apple soup... what a super combination, mom!

3:24 pm

angel13136

you guys are making me hungry

3:24 pm

Scarlet

angel, I bet if you ask mom real nicely, she'll share a slice...

3:24 pm

momof5

It is a bit past lunch.

3:25 pm

angel13136

yes please

3:26 pm

Scarlet

I try to make dinner earlier on Saturday and Sunday... that way, I can make a large meal, and just a nibble later, than the other way around... we're older and going into the shank of the evening on a full stomach is not such a good idea...

3:26 pm

Scarlet

Except for popcorn... LOL

3:26 pm

momof5

Angel, you know where I live and you are welcome to come and 'see' me some day and 'linger' for a while anytime.

3:27 pm

angel13136

hee hee

3:27 pm

momof5

We will have to make a sister weekend and meet in the middle some day soon.

3:28 pm

angel13136

where is the middle, anyway?

3:29 pm

momof5

SanFran, Reno, Vegas (Hawaii). Anywhere we please.

3:29 pm

angel13136

angel mom says hawaii sounds good...

3:29 pm

momof5

Sounds great to me, too.

3:30 pm

angel13136

baby says HAWAII is not inthe middle

3:31 pm

momof5

I just finished all the 'ex' words. I'm finding the 'a' words are more challenging this time. As far as the middle, it's as middle as where the plane flies.

3:31 pm

angel13136

got to go but we WILL be back

3:31 pm

stidmama

hello all!

3:31 pm

momof5

See you later angel.

Scrabbler

Hello again, Stid.

3:33 pm

stidmama

3:34 pm

stidmama

3:34 pm

Scrabbler

Shopping has not occurred yet, and I will go in the AM. I had everything here to make pumpkin/apple soup and it is simmering on the stove.

3:40 pm

stidmama

Babble Linguistic Fantasy Land!

Scrabbler

These words come from drunken, silly dictionary editors with massive imaginations.

3:48 pm

stidmama

bethn, "more so" on the wi 4/9 for the first

3:49 pm

stidmama

turn that to a plural for the next, then plural for the wi 8

bethn

rotator cuff repair stid, what list is that?

3:51 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, that reminds me of the time my mom had the flu at xmas and had to dictate all the cooking to me from a dark bedroom!

3:51 pm

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, beth, what is happening?

3:51 pm

Uneaixoise

hope it goes well, beth

3:51 pm

stidmama

the list of people I "keep in my heart" -- sending good thoughts.

3:51 pm

Scrabbler

Good luck, Beth. I hope you have a quick recovery.

3:52 pm

Scrabbler

Here is good news: my friend, Mary, with brain cancer--one of the tumors has shrunk after 2 wks of radiation, AND she will go to Duke Univ to see the top brain tumor guy that is now involved in her care.

3:52 pm

bethn

absolutely stid every positive thought helps

3:53 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, scrabbler, that's amazing!!

3:53 pm

stidmama

{{{Scrabbler}}} I have been so hoping for a miracle! *happy dance*

3:53 pm

Scarlet

Wow, Scrabbler... amazing.

3:53 pm

bethn

thats wonderful scrab, did she have surgery or just rad.?

3:54 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Mary needs a miracle. Her husband and kids need her!

3:54 pm

stidmama

down to 5... the UV words are hiding today.

3:55 pm

Scrabbler

She had 2 tumors removed with radiation, 3 are inoperable. The chemo regimen has changed now, with the involvement of this new guy.

3:55 pm

Scarlet

Standard Babble words, stid...

3:55 pm

Scrabbler

They are eye words, Stid.

3:55 pm

bethn

a friend had been told her tumor was inoperable very ratre brain cancer- she found dr, in nyc who specializes she had surgery 5 yrs ago and is doing well- the first group told her to get her affairs in order

3:55 pm

stidmama

I was afraid you'd say that... *looks harder*

3:56 pm

stidmama

got them!

3:56 pm

Scarlet

What a story, beth... we never know until we exhaust every possibility.

3:57 pm

Scrabbler

Great for her, Beth. Second, third and beyond opinions are required when you have cancer. My gosh, we look around when we pick a new car, why not for cancer?

3:57 pm

stidmama

down to two...

3:57 pm

Scrabbler

Yahooo, Stid!!

3:58 pm

bethn

exactly scrab- she is an inspiration to all of her friends every time we think there is nothing we can do

3:58 pm

Uneaixoise

good grief, 26 to go and I just now noticed the large wild cat . . .

3:58 pm

stidmama

finito!

3:58 pm

Judi

Evening, all. Just reading back in the chat. Excellent news, Scrabbler. And it is always worth getting a second and/or third opinion when it comes to a diagnosis of cancer. Docs told my brother they would have to remove his entire kidney because he had a small tumor on his ureter. Went to Sloane-Kettering in NY and they said they could just remove the small section of ureter. All is done now and he is having follow-up therapy which is even more cutting edge... tuberculosis virus cells (kills cancer cells!).

3:58 pm

Scarlet

Congratulations, stid!

3:58 pm

Uneaixoise

woohoo, stid!!!!!!!!!

3:58 pm

stidmama

*pounce* GROWL!!!!

3:58 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Une, that happened to me earlier too.

3:59 pm

4:00 pm

Scarlet

Oh, for pete's sake. Thank you Une. *Incoming trout*

4:00 pm

Uneaixoise

4:04 pm

Judi

4:08 pm

Judi

Ah, well... perhaps you can make up for it when hubby gets back.

4:08 pm

bethn

TY all if -you could hit me with other than a fish-i am allergic

4:08 pm

Jen

I told him to bring back jewelry!

4:08 pm

Scrabbler

We could throw plastic fish, Beth.

4:08 pm

Judi

*tosses swedish fish at bethn*

4:09 pm

Scrabbler

Good idea, Judi.

4:09 pm

Scarlet

*Incoming Cheese Doodles*

4:09 pm

bethn

i like swedish fish does that defeat the purpose?

4:10 pm

Scrabbler

Better idea, Scarlet.

4:10 pm

Judi

Probably, bethn. Although, they do contain a seaweed ingredient, so...

4:11 pm

Scarlet

You'll get all orange and salty from the Cheese Doodles... beth... try it, you'll maybe like it!

4:11 pm

bethn

cheese doodles are a valuable commodity in this house. the parrot loves orange food we can get him to do pretty much anything for a cheese doodle

Cheese doodles are soooo bad. I like them, but they are an evil snack food health-wise. Does your parrot poop orange after eating them, bethn?

herinfernallady

Joanne dont stress about it. Some people are really really really anally retentive with clues and cluing and it really irks me that this game doesnt have rules and people like to make them. I guess the best thing to remember is common politeness and clue how you have seen others

4:35 pm

Flask1

no idea joanne

4:35 pm

Scarlet

joanne... we all "feel our way" with a new site and the personalities and preferences... you did nothing wrong...
