There are three purple and one rose candles. (Purple dyes were one so rare and costly that they were associated with royalty; the Church has long used this colour around Christmas and Easter to honour Jesus.)
The three purple candles in the Advent wreath symbolise hope, peace, and love. These candles are lit on the first, second, and fourth Sundays of Advent. The rose candle, which symbolizes joy, is usually lit on the third Sunday.
A fifth candle is placed inside the Advent wreath. This candle is lit on Christmas Day. It is white, the color associated with angels and the birth of Jesus.
The four traditional advent themes for the four advent Sundays are:
God's people -The Candle of hope.
The old testament prophets - The Candle of Peace
John the Baptist - The Candle of Love
Mary the mother of Jesus - The Candle of Joy (a pink candle)

3:27 am
mrpresident
Luke has a very high IQ and when he is 'switched on', he amazes me and lickety. He has been wanting to play babble for a while now, and he has completed half my puzzles before letting me finish. So now he has his own login
3:28 am
BabbleRabble
An entertaining puzzle game of words and letters. 250,000 Words Dictionary - Puzzles Letters uses the ENABLE dictionary to check your words. ENABLE stands for "Enhanced North American Benchmark LExicon." It's a carefully researched and meticulously compiled combination of many other dictionaries (such as Merriam Webster 10th Edition and the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary).
3:28 am
dcseain
most appropriate. It's also nice that he presents youngish in his chat style, which makes it easier to remember to phrase clues a bit less obliquely than i am wont.
3:29 am
dcseain
that's part of ENABLE's self-descrption, i gather, babrab?
3:30 am
BabbleRabble
It is the spiel used to get customers for the puzzle game
3:30 am
mrpresident
I had to teach him to use chat and warned him to be polite and thankful.
3:31 am
dcseain
the general level of politeness here, even when things get tense, is one of the joys of the chat here. :)
3:32 am
BabbleRabble
the incidence of autism is increasing.... but so is the research
3:32 am
mrpresident
yes indeed it is.
3:32 am
dcseain
i do wonder on that increase - is it truly an increase, or jest better diagnosis.
3:33 am
BabbleRabble
I suspect some of both, as well as a planet with ever more people
3:34 am
dcseain
does this mean you theorize that the growing population is a cause, and if so, more because more people means more, or more due to some aspect of large population. That, in turn, begs the question of how rates in US/CA compare to rates in say China or India.
3:35 am
mrpresident
the increase is due to the study that only became accepted 15 years ago
3:36 am
dcseain
oh, which is that; i'd be interested to read it.
3:36 am
mrpresident
I will go look for it
3:37 am

sgams
Ouch! Yes, that they are!
5:00 am
doxy1lover
what happened to your kitty dc?
5:02 am
dcseain
not quite sure, doxy. He has an issue with his lip on the right side is all vet and i know for sure. He's on an antibiotic, and has an e-collar i will probably put back on him, as it seemed to be healing faster when he could not rub nor scratch it. Though it seems he mainly wanted the collar off to groom himself from what i've observed.
5:03 am
dcseain
so i may leave him collared when i'm not home, and uncollared when i am home, as a compromise. We'll see.
5:03 am
doxy1lover
hope he gets better soon
5:03 am
herinfernallady
DC what i have been doing with the kitty is get a damp cloth and run it over the cat and i brush her
5:03 am
dcseain
he has few teeth left, the gastric reflux seems to've destroyed them.
5:04 am
dcseain
i comb him twice a day, every day. he's a double-coat, and with few teeth left, can't do the job he used to

5:06 am
dcseain
i'm sorry, ata, what's that that you do w/hobbit's collar?
5:06 am
herinfernallady
Sgams i got my kitty desexed so she wouldn't be a kitty vending machine
5:06 am
Atalante
sorry. take it off when i can monitor her, and leave it on when i can't
5:07 am
dcseain
ah, i was guessing that, but was unclear. ty for clarifying :)
5:07 am
Atalante
sorry.. I just assume people can follow my convoluted thought processes!
5:08 am
herinfernallady
Sgams that is not good
5:08 am

Oh definitely, she is very very attached to my son, he has been a "godsend" for her, she gets tons and tons of love and affection, warmth, security, and she has come leaps and bounds, like it isn't the same dog some days BUT every once in awhile...a bad dream or something, but she calms down with some soft talk and hugs. She really is an awesome dog.

She was dumb big and dump. She'd run through the neighbours pond, ate the neighbours bread, run down the mountains
5:21 am
Atalante

5:21 am
sgams
Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
5:21 am
herinfernallady
Nice Sgam.
5:21 am
dcseain
We have a large BC contigent in this game, i've noticed.
5:22 am
NonoNanette
what fitting names for Irish setters dc!
5:22 am
herinfernallady
The dogs name was Melly (smelly melly) and we had a Lassie dog named Jamber
5:22 am
dcseain
yes, and each was the colour of their name :)
5:22 am
dcseain
jamber. that's fun to say :)
5:22 am
NonoNanette
we had a setter once named Clancy and very much like the one your dad had herin
5:22 am
sgams
Yes, definitely, we are fortunate to have a nice little acreage, just inland from the "beaches" of the east coast of the island
5:22 am
Atalante
the setter i knew was called Doggie Dee
5:23 am
sgams
Hey, NoNo thats my cat Clancys name (the sick one)
5:23 am
herinfernallady
The dog thought it was part mountain goat to boot.
5:23 am
dcseain
people next door growing up had a German Shepherd named Rabbit
5:23 am
herinfernallady
Sgam what is the ALpaca like?
5:23 am
NonoNanette
Clancy would eat anything even onions lol
5:23 am
dcseain
I love watching the mountain goats when i'm out West. We don't have them here in the East.
5:23 am
sgams
Hahah I used to have a mini goat who thopught she was a dog!
5:24 am
herinfernallady
Nono i didn't think onions were good for dogs?
5:24 am
dcseain
are alpacas as...clever and devious, as goats?
5:24 am
dcseain
better onions than chocolate for puppies
5:24 am
NonoNanette
ahhh sgams hope your clancy gets better soon
5:24 am
herinfernallady
We lived in the Blue Mountains in Sydney so there was forever to run as a kid
5:25 am
dcseain
always a bonus for children, room to roam
5:25 am
sgams
Alpacas are AWESOME! they are soooo easy to tend to and their fur catches a fair price in the Spring. Our Emma, lives with the goats BUT is NOTHING like them, goats are nutty as fruitcakes
5:25 am
NonoNanette
true dc had to be very careful not to leave any chocolate about
5:25 am
Atalante
goats are insane
5:26 am
herinfernallady
Goats eat everything
5:26 am
Atalante
goats jump anything and escape
5:26 am
herinfernallady
Does the ALpaca mind the goats?
5:26 am
dcseain
yeah, farm near where i grew up had one that would chew through fences, chains, and what. Had him in a pen three fences deep, of logs, metal and stone from inside to out.
5:26 am
carra
fainting goats! lol
5:27 am
Atalante
our goat used to regularly jump over our 6' fence to escape and trot around the village
5:28 am
dcseain
how very goat-like. At least the neighbours knew and returned him, i hope?
5:28 am
sgams
Oh the goat stories I can tell, we had one named Molly (the dog one) who one time started doing piroettes down our porch, and climbing the walls....turns out the darn goat had eaten a few too many rotting blackberries She was DRUNK as a Skunk!!! Mostly Emma doesn't mind the goats, until Dinky tries to eat her food then watch out!
5:28 am
Atalante
her ;) oh yes. Harriet was almost a village goat lol
5:29 am
dcseain
alpacas eat a different purina chow from goats? ;) Purina Alpaca Chow - it must exist. LOL
5:30 am
herinfernallady
Oh yes animals drunk on fermented berries
5:30 am
sgams
Fainting goats are soooo weird! My mom says no no no to fainting goats she thinks she would freak out too much like they were dead....but generally they only faint when scared
5:30 am
Atalante
Hobbit once ate a load of sloes we'd used in sloe gin out of our rubbish bin. That was funny
5:31 am
carra
they are quite funny though..wonder if any have broken bones from falling
5:31 am
dcseain
heh, that's funny, ata
5:31 am
Atalante
it really really was. luckily she didnt eat enough to seriously affect her, just enough for amusement
5:32 am
sgams
Yes, there is Alpaca text, and goat text, but they All love a good alfalfa hay, especially now with snow on the ground. Ah, Emma likes it all even the goose food. Only real problems is if you have sheep text and goat text, because there is too much Copper I believe for sheep in goat text, or the other way around, its been awhile since we've had sheep
5:32 am
herinfernallady
One night I thought the guys were mucking about when i heard a thump on the porch. Turns out there was a possum drunk as all get out on the fermented fruit from our back tree. Drunk fell of the roof.
5:33 am
herinfernallady
Ata that poor dog
5:33 am
dcseain
i love the smell of alfalfa hay
5:34 am
sgams
Should come sit in my Jeep dcs, it reeks of it since the last load I got a few days ago, POWERFUL!
5:34 am
Atalante
the funniest thing Hobbit ate was a really REALLY hot Thai curry I'd made. She scarfed a few bits and then RAN to her waterbowl. She had 3 waterbowls full of water
5:35 am
NonoNanette
poor Hobbit!
5:35 am
herinfernallady
Ata that is damn funny
5:35 am
carra
there was a baby possum in my friends garage in a box of tennis balls.. no idea how they got there... shes like theres something hairy in that box so i lifted it up and there was .. there was a guy tiling her shower that day we made him pick it up and put it outside lol
5:35 am
sgams
Are you making fun of my speech dc??? hehehehe
5:35 am
NonoNanette
once had a cat that craved anything with mint
5:35 am
Atalante
I know! poor babe. I felt so bad for her but it was so soooooooo funny
5:36 am
NonoNanette
he even unzipped a friends purse once to get at some peppermint gum she had
5:36 am
sgams
Catmint NoNo
5:36 am
dcseain
no, was wondering what you were getting at is all. I'm from the South, it's familiar that usage, it is :)
5:36 am
herinfernallady
Cara that is cute
5:36 am
dcseain
seeing as catnip is a mint, that makes sense, nono
5:37 am
Atalante
awwww nono! thats a good party trick!
5:37 am
carra
co 7.44 clue please?
5:37 am
sgams
Ok dc, got it...the drunk possum falling off the roof....oh Dang!
5:37 am
herinfernallady
i need sleep soon. B.fs still not home i really should bolt the down stars door on him make him sleep on the couch
5:37 am
dcseain
able to be encoded, carra
5:37 am
NonoNanette
true to a degree dc but he even wanted my peppermint schnapps when i had some
5:37 am
herinfernallady
NOno that is funny
5:38 am
Atalante
did you give him a taste?
5:38 am
dcseain
! oh my, that is extreme, you'd think the alcohol would scare him off. did you let him have some?
5:38 am
NonoNanette
i would let him lick a drop or two from my finger and that is all
5:38 am
NonoNanette
but he always came running when i had some
5:38 am
carra
my cat likes cherry jolly ranchers ( candy)
5:38 am
herinfernallady
I have to get a water fountain for the cat for fresh water for the summer
5:39 am
NonoNanette
i have a picture of him trying to lick out the empty glass someplace
5:39 am
herinfernallady
Oh cute nono
5:41 am
sgams
Herin, we have the kind you fill up and flip over into a "holding spot" where they drink, it has a one way spout so it only fills up so much, then the cat drinks more comes out. We are quite happy with them, we've used them for rabbits, and the dogs as well.
5:41 am
sgams
They have feeders like that too.
5:41 am
NonoNanette
i found the picture..... its on my icon now
5:41 am
herinfernallady
Ok do you think this is fair. The b.f went out at 2pm to a mates place said he would be back for tea and would bring it home what i needed. Since its now 1040pm and hes still out should i get him to make me dinner tomorrow night?
5:42 am
herinfernallady
Sgam she needs the fountain with constant flow to stop it stagnating it gets hot here
5:43 am
NonoNanette
sounds fair to me Herin
5:44 am
herinfernallady
Even though he works 50-60 hour weeks i think so to damn it. He could of phoned me
5:45 am
sgams
Oh yeah, I guess so hey, it would go stagnate pretty quick I imagine, I was thinking thats going to be pretty pricy, could you use one of those table top decorative fountains...one of our cats drinks that water the whole summer. AND absolutely he should AT least cook you dinner, as I highly doubt an excuse he could use here of stuck in snow, would work well this time of year there!
5:46 am
Atalante
and he has his mobile phone switched off?
5:46 am
herinfernallady
Sgam that is a wonderful idea about the table top decorative fountains.
5:47 am
dcseain
i must away for shift turnover. Hope all of yall have a lovely day/evening/night :)
5:47 am
herinfernallady
Ata he has no mobile

herinfernallady
Ata he is at hes budys place probably forgot the time. Ok my cat is a stoner. She is staring at the wall

5:57 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Ro, on a Sunday. It is a convenience for the parents, and, although I don't like working on Sundays (I do one a month), it makes Mondays less busy.
5:57 am
NonoNanette
we have that forcast for later today carlee
5:57 am
rolin
*nodding*...thats really great that the service is available..
5:58 am

herinfernallady
YYes rolin its getting worse
5:59 am
herinfernallady
Nice Carlee
5:59 am
Scrabbler
The problem, Ro, is that parents demand to be seen rather than understanding that Sunday visits are for urgent problems. It is more convenient for them to come in on Sunday than during the week when both parents work and the kid is in school or at day care.
5:59 am
carleekat
now I am trying to figure out what to feed the gang for breakfast...
5:59 am

ok, ata, changed my icon :-)
7:33 am
Atalante
awwwwww thats *adorable*. there is nothing as adorable as an adorable spaniel looking adorable
7:34 am
Uneaixoise
LOL so true!!! When I get to her house he comes racing out, nearly knocking me down, 'cause he knows I always bring him rawhide treats!
7:35 am
Uneaixoise
(and rubs and kisses!)
7:36 am
Uneaixoise
ok I'll stop now . . . jeez, I'm such a dog freak!
7:36 am
Gail
I stil miss my cocker, Misty, who died several years ago. She was so much fun.
7:36 am
Atalante
awww :) I went to see my dermatologist last week, we talked for about 2 minutes about my skin and about 20 minutes about cockers, cos he'd just been on a training weekend for dogs to pick up birds on shoots. and he'd seen a cocker in full working action for the first time ever. and our conversation kept getting interrupted with "and it *boinged*! and I mean *BOINGED*! and it didn't stop! all day!"
7:37 am
Uneaixoise
LOL :-D
7:37 am
Atalante
awww I'm sorry Gail :( I share my cocker with Lizsark whose cocker died a few months ago, you can share her too if you'd like
7:37 am
Gail
That would be nice. My border collie passed away last month. I am dogless for the first time in over thirty years.
7:38 am
Uneaixoise
I lost my sweet girl several years ago as well . . . one of the Humane Assn volunteer coordinators shares her precious black cocker with me . . . her name is . . . wait for it . . . Penny Lane!
7:38 am
Atalante
oh no. even worse. are you going to get another?
7:38 am
Uneaixoise
oh, Gail, I'm so sorry . . .
7:39 am
Uneaixoise
Adopt adopt adopt!!
7:39 am
Atalante
I never had a dog before Hobbit. Now I truly cant imagine being without one
7:39 am
Gail
I will look in the spring. With 18 inches of snow in the forecase, I'm not missing the dog walking.
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
I haven't been without a dog pretty much my whole life . . .
7:40 am
Gail
That should be forecast. I need more coffee.
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
18 inches--good grief!
7:40 am
Atalante
new year, new companion. sounds good!
7:40 am
Gail
First big storm of the year on it's way. The skiers will be happy.
7:41 am
Atalante
I remember when we took Hobbit down to Italy in the winter. She's only ever seen snow of an inch or two here. So she boinged straight into a snow drift, and all that was visible were her ears
7:41 am
Atalante
she was very confused
7:42 am
Gail
Misty did the little snowplow thing with her nose. We lived in Northern Michigan and she loved the snow.
7:43 am
Gail
She also loved to be buried in piles of leaves and would hide until she couldn't stand it and would jump out.
7:43 am
Uneaixoise
aaawwwww
7:44 am
Atalante
aww! darling! what colour was she?
7:45 am
Gail
She was buff, mostly, with a little gold.
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
oh, how pretty
7:45 am
Atalante
gorgeous! so she could really hide in the leaves :D
7:45 am
Gail
She was an old fashioned kind of cocker, and her ears were set a little too high, but so cute.
7:46 am
Atalante
who cares about such things :D hobbit was given away by her breeder because she had a small white patch on her chest. pffff!
7:46 am
Gail
My border collie went to work with me every day at the doctor's office. It's still hard telling people she is gone. The Fed Ex driver had us take a picture of her with him so he could have it. He really loved Queenie.
7:47 am
Atalante
I can't imagine how empty things must feel now :(
7:47 am
Uneaixoise
oh, Gail, that is so sweet . . . and that empty feeling is really rough . . .
7:48 am
Atalante
our local pub / restaurant has a live-in little girl buff cocker. Next time I go, I'll try and get some photos. She's called Ruby

It's amazing what a big space a dog leaves behind. I will find another when the time is right. One more back surgery to be done and then I will start looking around for a dog.
7:48 am
Uneaixoise
please do, ata

My neighbor has the cutest black and white corgi, I covet that dog. He is adorable.

Gail
My neighbor has the cutest black and white corgi, I covet that dog. He is adorable.
7:50 am
Atalante
I love corgis, my cousin breeds blue merle ones
7:51 am
Gail
This one is black with a white head and black ears and white paws. I never saw one that color before.
7:52 am
Atalante
there is a huge variety of Pembroke COrgi colours, most of which you never see. The blue ones are stunning, but I've only ever seen them at my cousins. She's got a blue / black spotty one too :)
7:54 am
Gail
I have only met two corgis, and they were both so sweet.
7:54 am
Atalante
Cardigans are snappy little brats - like the ones the Queen has - but pembrokes are generally all adorable and sweet
7:55 am
Atalante
*and* they can outrun a springer spaniel. in speed and endurance. amazing, eh>
7:58 am
Gail
Has anybody ever read Gladys Taber's books about raising cockers?
7:59 am
Atalante
no - would you recommend them? I've never found any books I enjoy reading about cockers
8:01 am
Gail
They are my favorites. She lived in Connecticut and wrote Journals about country life and raising dogs. They are hard to find now, mostly out of print, but easier to find on the computer. She wrote fiction, too, but I love her journals. My son used to live right down the road from her farm in Connecticut.
8:01 am
Atalante
oh wonderful! *writes the name down*
8:01 am
Gail
There is a website about her, do a search for Stillmeadow - that's the name of her farm. You can read excerpts of the books and all about her.
8:02 am
Gail
She is the reason I got a cocker, actually.
8:04 am
Atalante
I got mine rather randomly. But now I don't ever want a different dog
8:04 am
Gail
I had a basset hound, too. They are fantastic dogs.
8:05 am
Atalante
oh they are! my best friend has one :D
8:05 am
Gail
He was a total clown. He loved to think up things to make us laugh at him,
8:06 am
Atalante
they are such funny little things. they look so sad, but are so full of life
8:07 am
Gail
He has so much energy, we would have the three boys come over from next door to play with him to wear him out. All you would see was a cloud of dust with arms, legs, ears and a tail coming out.
8:08 am
Atalante
their tails are wonderful! so long and so "question mark-y"
8:09 am
Gail
He would try to be sneaky when he stole the dishtowel or tried to squeeze into the cat's bed. He really thought we couldn't see him.
8:10 am
Atalante
they do think they are very sneaky, don't they? I think they think they can slip under the radar because they are short lol. unfortunately the wagging floppy tail doesn't help the secreecy
8:12 am
phandmd
does anyone have a clue for the ma 6/7 pair pls?
8:13 am
Aloyisius
Hello Babblers! Gail, I'm so sorry for your loss.. it has been over 9 months since we lost Taz and I still grieve for him.. he made me laugh every day.. we do want another dog as soon as we settle down some..
8:13 am
Atalante
there's a grid? where?
8:13 am
Gail
He would tiptoe, glancing at you out of the corner of his eyes. We would pretend we didn't see this 60 pound oaf in the room, just to see what he was going to do. He liked to steal towels to use as pillows or else he would try to stuff the cat under his chin to sleep on in the sunshine.
8:13 am
Gail
Words? There are words?
8:14 am
Atalante
ha ha ha oh thats quite fabulous!
8:14 am
Aloyisius

Jacula
Do you have a pic of that, Gail?
8:16 am
Gail
Probably. In a box somewhere. I didn
8:17 am
Gail
Sorry. I didn't get him in the divorce. I got the cocker and the two cats.
8:18 am
Atalante
sounds like that was done by weight. 1 cocker + 2 cats = 1 basset
8:19 am
Gail
Ha. I had bought him for my ex as a birthday gift, so he stayed with him. He was a lot of dog to handle.
8:20 am

What a weird batch of words today! I just logged back on to get my last dozen or so, and I've needed a2z for every one of them. The 2 th/6's for example--they don't even look plausible as English words. My monkeys look at combos like that with undisguised contempt. (Incidentally, they do happen to be anagrams of each other...)
1:06 pm
FMitch
lol jan, my mokies took one look and left me to it!

1:12 pm

Fireworks time. Oh, and in the unlikely event that this helps with the anagrammatic th/6's, the first is a Scottish word for small guts, the second a chemical used in vulcanizing rubber. How I've managed all these years without them in my vocabulary I can't imagine.
1:12 pm
FMitch
Slow down, the finish line is a way off *grin* and Im too full of roast lunch to run.

Atalante
Anthozooids

Ata, I would love to be in that class. We have miocene (I think) era fossil cliffs a few miles from here so I've always loved that kind of thing.
2:12 pm
stidmama
leigh -- didn't you have that problem the LAST time you were on???
2:12 pm
FMitch
Bless you!
2:12 pm

2:12 pm
phandmd
why not just get a new keyboard? or is this an excuse?
2:12 pm
leighprefect
Probably. =)
2:13 pm
leighprefect
Because it's a laptop, and that would be a pain in the butt.
2:13 pm
stidmama
Macs are supposed to be wonderful, but they are expensive -- can you get a good discount?
2:13 pm
Atalante
miocene. sea urchins. more sea urchins. LOL

I thought sea urchins were surfers?
2:14 pm
stidmama
what about a refurb? those are less expensive but usually work just as well.
2:14 pm
Atalante

2:15 pm
rururocks
well babblerabble was there so it must have been
2:15 pm

2:15 pm
Krista
Though the fossils at Calvert's Cliffs are miocene.
2:15 pm

The fossils from my immediate area are just cast/mold fossils in the rock. They're the ones I'm not sure about. That would be great.
2:19 pm
leighprefect
I do have four year support on this one. hmmmmm..... But I don't want to have to send my computer out.
2:19 pm
stidmama
It has built-in wireless, a bunch of USB ports, etc. I don't like the overly shiny screen, but apparently that's the "style" this year. And I don't like Vista, but you can get them loaded with XP if you want
2:19 pm
FMitch

hey all, we had our first snow today - a dusting, but still snow
2:26 pm
Krista
Yay, TO! We were disappointed, especially the kids. We got sleet. :(
2:26 pm
Atalante
hmmmm. Nature is probably the best. Or Science, over there, just because they are the best generalised journals who would report any major changes with links to further work
2:27 pm
leighprefect
Early return! Hahahaha. I'm good like that.
2:27 pm
leighprefect
We got about half an inch here.
2:28 pm
Atalante
there will be some specialist climatology journals, though
2:28 pm
BabbleRabble
thanks, I sent that oil grab article to a NY Times opinion columnist hoping he would do a story or two
2:29 pm
Krista
Is it sticking, leigh? I'd like to look out and see everything all snowy and pretty.
2:29 pm
Atalante
i'll have a think so more though, in case some spark of brilliance appears.
2:29 pm
BabbleRabble
thanks
2:29 pm
Inge2
Science and Nature do a great job keeping up with research on climate change. American Geophysical Union puts out several more specialized publications that cover the topic.
2:30 pm
Atalante
funnily enough, as well, the oil industry journals come up with a lot of interesting things about climate change and how the world is going to work in the future. If I come across any new brilliant articles, I'll scan them for you
2:30 pm
stidmama
hello again.

Actually, I'm surprised this is your first snow, TO.... My aunt in Kunletown got four inches just before Thanksgiving.

30% chance of snow Wed. Fudge. That's not going to amount to much.
2:34 pm

my daughter (has Aspberger's) learns a lot from joke books..she take things very literally, so it's a good way to teach irony, figures of speech, etc. It gets a little tedious explaining them all tho...

Haz1558
The zimmerframe always makes it sound as though it's intended to speed you up.
4:44 pm
Atalante
everything over here has long and complicated names unrelated to their purpose
4:44 pm
Scrabbler
Time to make salads for the bunnies. Callie is flinging her tin plate around as a means of communicating her desire.
4:45 pm
inge
but "zimmer" means room in German, what does that have to do witha waling aid?
4:45 pm
jillibus
the letters in this grid are all in the wrong place
4:45 pm
Krista
I think it was the inventor, Inge.
4:45 pm
Haz1558
It's pronounced with a soft z rather than the ts sound of zimmer in German.
4:45 pm
Atalante
not everything relates imediately to German :P
4:46 pm
Krista

4:46 pm

4:46 pm
Haz1558
I heard of one lady who refused to use the lift in her care home and who was found crawling up the stairs, zimer frame on back, tortoise like.
4:47 pm
Krista
I love the name Schwartzkopf..always makes me think of bad skin.
4:47 pm
Atalante

A new fact learned. Let's hope it comes up in conversation.
4:48 pm
Krista
On here, it probably will come up again, Haz! Lol!
4:48 pm
Atalante
probably!
4:48 pm
inge
Sorry folks, Nika wanted to go out.
4:48 pm

4:49 pm

Her children decided to see the funny side of it and laugh.
4:49 pm
jillibus
I'm nervous about our power - there have been little flickers. It's still snowing -- my birdbath has a tall mushroom cap on it
4:49 pm
inge
The German trextbook I used had a vendor lady called Hunnenmörder
4:50 pm
Atalante
this is a very random question - does anyone know if there's a word for fear of not having access to books?
4:50 pm
jillibus
Nobody's paying any attention, but if I disappear without warning you'll know the power is out
4:51 pm
Atalante
ok jilli! roger that!
4:51 pm
PastorJ
notabookinsightophobia?
4:51 pm
Haz1558
I was paying attention, jillibus, just thinking that you're probably well versed in how to cope.
4:51 pm
raelite
hello hello
4:51 pm
Krista
Isn't that funny. I can remember every character in our textbooks. Alois Reiter, Marianne Muller...What does hunnenmorder translate too?
4:51 pm
Haz1558
Hello raelite.
4:52 pm
jillibus
hi raelite!!! Are you enjoying our weather?
4:52 pm
Krista
Was just about to ask you...really...does your power go out a lot in bad weather?
4:52 pm
raelite
haz, I have a favour to ask of you
4:52 pm
inge
murderer of huns
4:52 pm
raelite
oh the weather....it's nasty
4:52 pm
raelite
but just rain
4:52 pm
Haz1558
Okay, you want me to look after a good looking actor?
4:52 pm
jillibus
Not a lot, Krista -- but this is VERY bad weather -- tons of HEAVY snow to break branches and such
4:52 pm
Atalante
The power is out in Astoria, Oregon, and has been for a good few hours already
4:53 pm
raelite
may i please use spangle in one of my stories?
4:53 pm
Haz1558
Absolutely!
4:53 pm
raelite
oh thank you!
4:53 pm
Atalante
Hobbit won't feel slighted that you don't want her
4:53 pm
raelite
oh I will if you allow me to
4:53 pm
jillibus
just rain in Victoria raelite??? Not here yet -- waiting hopefully!
4:54 pm
raelite
the new chapter has some interesting twists
4:54 pm
Haz1558
Who's smug now?
4:54 pm
Atalante
*giggles* of course you can if you want
4:54 pm
Krista
Goodness, Jilli. I am really wanting some snow (we had it in the forecast, but just got sleet), but not like that.
4:54 pm
raelite
well i live closer to Sidney, Jilli, so we're right by the water...it's been raining for hours
4:54 pm
inge
well, I better fix something for supper to go along with the leftover fourbean salad . BBL
4:54 pm
Atalante
spaniels are always smug
4:54 pm
Krista
Enjoy your dinner, Inge.
4:54 pm
Haz1558
That would be fun, raelite, I'd be delighted to have Spangle immortalised.
4:55 pm
Haz1558
Bye inge.
4:55 pm
raelite
lol...spangle is going to be a guide of sorts, and hobbit will be an inn keeper
4:55 pm
jillibus
well, what a difference a bay makes, rae!
4:55 pm
jillibus
bye inge
4:56 pm
raelite
lol, too true, jilli...my parents are in a much worse situation though
4:56 pm
Atalante
if I ever get a spare moment - ha ha - if you'd ever like a picture of Spangle, I'd love to do one, Haz
4:56 pm
Haz1558
She's a very purposeful walker, so that will suit her. Her map-reading needs work, though.
4:56 pm
raelite
they went north to ladysmith for my mother's birsthday and wound up getting stuck in the snow
4:56 pm
Haz1558
That would be great, Atalante!
4:56 pm
Atalante
and Hobbit loves drinking. Though usually only water LOL
4:56 pm
raelite
they had to abandon the car at the safeway
4:57 pm
Haz1558
Spangle likes snow.
4:57 pm
saphyre
hi everyone
4:57 pm
Haz1558
Did Spangle pass her driving test first time?
4:57 pm
Haz1558
Hello saphyre.
4:57 pm
Atalante
I love drawing spaniels, but I can never bring myself to try and draw Hobbit. So I borrow other people's
4:58 pm
Krista
why is that, Ata?
4:58 pm
Atalante
I don't know ... I just dont think I could ever portray everything I wanted for her
4:59 pm
Haz1558
I think I know what you mean. There are so many facets to a character that you know well that you couldn't capture them all in one portrait?
4:59 pm
Atalante
I'll draw her in many years time. With other people's dogs its easier, because you can only draw what you see and hope its right
5:00 pm
carra

raelite
I have my dog in my icon now...his name is Kash
5:00 pm
Atalante
yes - I'd want to draw her happy, and doleful, and sitting up and wiggling all in one picture, and then be horrified if even 1 hair wasn't as I wanted it
5:00 pm

If you draw mostly from photographs, I suppose you'll be using the ones that people have chosen as being representative of their pet.
5:01 pm
Atalante
gorgeous babes, carra!
5:01 pm
Krista
Yes, that makes sense. I can see what you mean.
5:02 pm
Atalante
yes - I do find it hard drawing animals I don't know though. I always want to have an idea of *them*. Photos don't do that perfectly. Drawing unknown animals scares me totally!
5:02 pm
carra
thanks atalante
5:03 pm
saphyre
I have Roxie and her pups in my icon - the puppies are 5 days old now

5:04 pm
Angelsong
hey everyone...I need your input. Some of you may recall when I had Babble Icons and Birthday calendars up. I had to discontinue them because the calendars I was using for them stopped being free. Now, I may have found a free place to have the calendars again. is there any interest for me to bring them back?
5:05 pm
saphyre
I think the birthday idea is good Angel
5:06 pm
Haz1558
Probably the babble icons would be useful, as people are always looking for where the icon list is kept.
5:06 pm
Krista
That's lovely, Ata! Angelsong, I like the ideas.
5:07 pm
Angelsong
the way it will work is that once I've set up the calendars, I will put a link up on BabAnon for players to access them. it would not be on the reosurce guide.
5:08 pm
saphyre
sounds good Angelsong and thank you for taking the time to do that for all of us
5:08 pm
joanne0334
hi all co 9 and 10 please
5:08 pm
Angelsong
ok, then, I will start working on them and will have them up as soon as I can.
5:10 pm
Angelsong
it may take a bit of time to set them up; it's labor-intensive to begin with, and I have less time than I used to have.
5:10 pm
Krista
Did you get any snow there today, Saphyre? We were supposed to, but didn't.
5:10 pm
saphyre
it is raining with a bit of ice mixed in Krista

5:13 pm
Scrabbler
I am hoping that ni6 is the plura of ni5.
5:14 pm
Uniquity
ni6 - slang term for jerk, idiot, etc
5:14 pm
Atalante
ni6 - one of elgar's variations
5:14 pm

ok then I guess you don't want a puppy then huh? :)
5:17 pm
Scrabbler
What kind of dog and how many pups in all? I love the photo.
5:17 pm
Krista
I LOVE one, but it's not in the cards. Do you have homes for all of them?
5:17 pm
LadyNatts
I feel for you Krista... :(
5:17 pm
Scrabbler
I need more help with ni6 please.
5:18 pm
saphyre
I think so - we are keeping one and I think we have homes for atleast 5 of the other 7 so far
