I won't have time for this, as usual. It's been a disatrous weekend etc for many reasons, but what affects my babble time is the fact that our old library sprang a big leak because of the heavy snow plus heavy rain and thaw, so we volunteers are recruited to move the entire fiction collection so that repairs can be made.

1:30 am

jillibus

aww, ata -- doggie in a collar? Why?

1:31 am

jillibus

funny, ruru!

1:31 am

Atalante

last day today, though I've said that before ... she had a skin infection on her ear, then kept scratching off the scabs

1:32 am

dcseain

yeah, i've a cat with one due to him rubbing scabs off

1:32 am

jillibus

aww, ata -- give her a scritch from me

1:32 am

Atalante

the skin is all beautiful again now, no scabs or gloop, but I'm scared stiff off taking the collar off in case she scratches it all open again. her claws are so dangerous!

1:32 am

jillibus

have you used a Dremel on the claws?

1:33 am

rururocks

you can give them bendryl in the small tablets to avoid itchiness

1:33 am

Atalante

a Dremel? what that??

1:33 am

rururocks

grinder for nails

1:33 am

jillibus

an electric grinder -- makes them smooth

1:33 am

Atalante

oh wow!!

1:33 am

Atalante

gosh. I've never seen one of those over here

1:33 am

dcseain

i would imagine a half or quarter-dose for a 14.8lb cat. probably worth doing, though.

1:34 am

dcseain

oh, dremels rock, ata.

1:34 am

rururocks

check with your vet.. pills and cats though... ayayaya

1:34 am

Atalante

i was thinking of getting an industrial strength nail file today though

1:34 am

dcseain

i'm giving him 1.4mL of antibiotics daily

1:34 am

dcseain

in liquid form

1:34 am

rururocks

the dremels are great

1:35 am

rururocks

liquid is easier with cats.. pills are another matter

1:35 am

rururocks

where is herin tonight?

1:35 am

jillibus

they're used for wood carving -- see a hardware store (ironmongery?) That's how I did the Dane head in my flickr pix

1:35 am

dcseain

yes they are, i've done the pill thing, too. Which is why i asked for liquid this time.

1:36 am

dcseain

lady has been sick, hopefully she's resting

1:36 am

rururocks

I knew you were a very smart guy there dc

1:36 am

rururocks

ohh din't know..

1:36 am

Atalante

hmmmm i'll have to look around! hobbit's claws aren't ever *sharp*, she just wields them with power

1:36 am

dcseain

she's had a linger sinus/upper resp thing.

1:37 am

rururocks

gold bond powder will also aleve the itchiness too

1:37 am

jillibus

the only trouble with dremels is they're a bit noisy and can be scary for the pooches

1:37 am

dcseain

yes, but not good for oral use. It's my cat's lip that is the issue.

1:37 am

Atalante

I found a wonderful anti-itch cream though - it contains calamine and lignocaine

1:38 am

rururocks

we use a product we get at dog shows called neo predef.. it is amazing

1:38 am

GroovyKiwi

oh wow, dc, I am so glad!

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

cannot believe how fast it sold; hope it wasn't priced too low

1:54 am

dcseain

a word that seems to be there, or ought to be there, but isn't

1:54 am

Just1Mar

thx :)

1:55 am

dcseain

it was at least 300k too low compared to where i live for such, but where i live has an astronomical cost of living, and is not a fair comparison.

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

it is so difficult to know a valid price these days... one block or one neighborhood away can be totally different value

1:58 am

dcseain

i know they held out for price they wanted, so i'm sure they did well for there

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

so glad to hear that; timing is so perfect for them... God sure worked out all of their "details" :~)

1:59 am

dcseain

indeed so :)

1:59 am

sprite

the auction was not effective, too low bids. So I am sure they will not have settled for a too low amount.

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

cool... an mn 8 word

2:01 am

dcseain

sale also rather redeems the agent

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

2:02 am

Atalante

2:02 am

2:02 am

i've lived almost my whole life in places with below-ground power lines, to point that above-ground is a novelty to me.

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

2:05 am

sprite

Just1Mar, you are new to me! Didn't mean to ignore you, things got a little hectic here the moment I dropped down on my chair to play babble. Welcome!

2:05 am

Hey Babblers! Just popping into chat for a sec--need to sleep! Our power was out for several hours this afternoon here in our part of the Seattle area. Still don't why--might be flood-related.

sprite

mrP needs all the support she can get, and so does Lickety. It is a very tough period in life for them.

2:07 am

Just1Mar

mrP?

2:08 am

frogtaco

We're on top of a hill and our neighborhood all has underground utilities, but the power lines come up to our neighborhood aboveground through a forest. Our power goes out all the time, dc.

2:08 am

sprite

ah, I see! And Tangleword pulled the plug, I heard. I hope you will find some consolation here, Just1. It is great to have you here and chatting with us :)

2:08 am

sprite

mrPresident and Lickety are an item and 2 of our very dear babblers, Just1.

2:10 am

frogtaco

Hey mc--it would take a whole lot of flooding to put our house underwater. That would be bad news for everybody. :)

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

everyone here is so kind Just; you will feel like an "old pro" very soon. Okay, sprite, explain to the dummy... what exactly is an "item"

2:10 am

mcurlschool

brb

2:10 am

dcseain

2:10 am

sprite

lol Dee! I understand that when two people belong, like a couple, they are called 'an item'.

2:10 am

Just1Mar

well for example the 2nd yo word...did not understand (was a while back when jilli was here)

2:11 am

Skeleton is their son, Maddison is their daughter.

Clues can be given in many forms. One can give a definition, cryptic description, define parts of the word, or just tell the starting 2 letters and lenght and points (mn8/55 means an 8 letter word, starting MN and worth 55 points).

2:14 am

Just1Mar

yes I see that and I do have lickety's list

2:14 am

dcseain

i'm good at cryptic. like yesterday's "te6 - one who observes vietnamese new year" for the word tetters

2:14 am

ah, ok, so it is just my language being immature? Now I am back in my humble shoes, Dee, lol.

2:14 am

Atalante

2:15 am

FranMag

dc, your gin clue gave me two yo words, yo4/6 and yo5/16, anyone have the stats for the 3rd one?

2:15 am

dcseain

sprite, where i live an 'item' refers to a couple, who are usually not married, though your usage was appropriate for the region i live in.

2:15 am

sprite

I intend to start translating my book in the New Year, Dee, and Ata has said she wants to read it and comment on the english. I am really looking forward to the experiment!

2:19 am

Just1Mar

2:19 am

Atalante

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

2:21 am

sprite

we celebrate his birth- or dying day, not sure which, on December 6th. The night before is 'pakjes-avond' = gift's evening. A bag with gifts is delivered, either through the chimney or before the front door after loud and sudden knocking. For the small kids, it is Sinterklaas and Black Pete who bring it all.

2:21 am

Just1Mar

I actually never heard the ya word before nor it's meaning, obviously

2:21 am

dcseain

ah, it's what we call christmas :)

2:22 am

sprite

For and with the older kids, we make special gifts, in funny wrappings, and verses in which we make fun of eachother.

2:22 am

dcseain

one learns much vocab here, including 'babblets' words we only find here for the most part

2:22 am

sprite

dc, not exactly.

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

then do you not have any celebration on Dec 25th?

2:22 am

sprite

yup, like the hairy-nosed dolphin, in5, which is one of my favorite babblets because it is such a happy word.

2:23 am

Just1Mar

well I do know many obscure words from my tangle days, and gin is my drink of choice, but still in the dark on that one

2:23 am

dcseain

well, what naturally goes with gin? think like rhyming slang

2:23 am

Just1Mar

I saw that too (hairy-nosed dolphin) but no clue on that lol

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

I have no clue what a hairy nosed dolphin is

2:24 am

Atalante

Dee! what an admission!

2:24 am

FranMag

thanks just1, how did i not see that?

2:24 am

FranMag

in4/4 dee

2:24 am

dcseain

in4 is the hainy-nosed dolphin, in5 today is non-reactive

2:24 am

Just1Mar

yayyy I got it lol

2:25 am

FranMag

you probably have it already, you just didn't know what it is.

2:25 am

sprite

that is Xmas, Dee. Traditionally in the Netherlands, it is a celebration without many gifts. It is about family and introspection, about the birth of Christ of course and, on a more general level, about the birth of light in the deep of dark. We sing songs, do family things, eat special meals and focus on peace.
Nowadays, though, it is more and more commercial, like in America.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

LOL ata

2:25 am

sprite

argh, I meant in4. Never said I could count.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

yep I did

2:25 am

dcseain

we were discussing discalulia in the chat about 12 hours ago.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

I love your kind of Christmas better!!!

2:26 am

sprite

I know what goes with gin, but that does not start ya for me.

2:26 am

Atalante

yo

2:26 am

FranMag

is that what they call it?

2:26 am

dcseain

yo is the gin clue

2:26 am

FranMag

yo5 is the gin one sprite

2:26 am

dcseain

ya is the cheap noodles, which apparently you don't have there, at least not by same name as here

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

ex 7/56

2:27 am

dcseain

found mo8 on my own :)

2:28 am

sprite

the commercial kind of Xmas drives me mad. I feel like a part of nature, all energy pulls back in and asks me to focus inwards, and all commercial sh*t demands I turn outward. It clashes like mad. But for the kid's sake I try and combine it, and try to give them what they expect, plus a good portion of my inner peace and calm on the Xmas days themselves. So far they love both.

2:28 am

sprite

I have to5 as gin pal.

2:28 am

FranMag

woo hoo! found the mo8, thanks dc

2:29 am

FranMag

yo5 rhymes with it sprite

2:29 am

sprite

dc, is the noodle one the Y + biblical So Be It?

2:29 am

sprite

ah, thanks Fran!

2:29 am

FranMag

yes sprite

2:29 am

dcseain

yes, sprite

2:29 am

FranMag

yw!

2:29 am

dcseain

change y to r and you have the cheap noodle soup

2:29 am

sprite

thanks :) Finally then, slow sprite caught up!

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

great lesson sprite; tried to do that with our daughter, too; put a nail on Christmas tree; stories stuck in the branches about true meaning; made a birthday cake one year for Jesus... it is so terribly easy to get wrapped up in the "I wants"...

2:31 am

dcseain

in my family, it was a time of contemplation, honouring the Sun and Longest Night, and some gift exchange.

2:31 am

FranMag

dee, did you need ex7?

2:31 am

sprite

that is exactly it, Dee! And even though the commercial voices yell loudest, I can feel that kids have a deep need of the other side of Xmas too. I usually sing mantras with them and they love that best of all.

2:31 am

dcseain

sounds lovely, sprite :)

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

no fran ty very much ... found it

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

so cool

2:32 am

FranMag

2:33 am

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

dcseain

er, today. whatever.

2:34 am

sprite

put a sticky note on your wallet, dc :)

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

Ty, sprite. Oddly, it has been a blessing in many ways.

2:35 am

sprite

it definitely forces you to slow down or even stand still and redefine your priorities, Dee. Or that is what I experience with my handicaps. In that sense it is a blessing. Though in other ways it still sucks ;)

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

LOL sooooo true, and I vacillate wildly between being thankful and being b**chy when it sucks!

2:37 am

sprite

same here LOL

2:39 am

FranMag

3:37 am

sprite

LOL Fran!

3:38 am

FranMag

i looked up fe* in dictionary.com and it refers to supernatural or otherworldly creatures.

3:38 am

FranMag

so the fe5/20 is just a made up comparative form. :-)

3:38 am

3:49 am

FranMag

She sells seashells by the seashore is another popular one.

3:50 am

jwr

oops, sorry -- you shouldn't speak to me when I'm here

3:50 am

FranMag

3:50 am

sprite

argh, that is a tough one for me, dc!

3:50 am

jwr

hi, though

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Ok. I went to the docs to get a med cert for the government. She upped my anti depresences by 20mg and wrote on my government form 'I hear voices' OH dear thats not what i meant

3:50 am

dcseain

"rr con rr cigarro rr con rr barril tan rápido van las relas del ferrocarril" is a fave of mine.

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Hi JWR

3:50 am

FranMag

jwr, you started it! :-)

3:50 am

dcseain

it's tough for native speakers, too, Sprite

3:51 am

herinfernallady

there was a pheasant plucker. Say that really fast i bet you slip after a while

3:51 am

FranMag

infernal, it's true if you talk to us and try to imagine us talking to you!

3:51 am

dcseain

so, she edited the form, or needs to fill out a new one?

3:51 am

FranMag

that's what i do and it gets pretty noisy

3:52 am

dcseain

LOL lady

3:52 am

jwr

nama mugi nama gome (pronounced go-may) nama tamago

3:52 am

sprite

lady:
I am not the pheasant plucker
I am the pheasant plucker's son
I am only plucking pheasants
till the pheasant pluckers comes

3:52 am

dcseain

which language is that, jwr?

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Sprite. I couldn't remember it

3:53 am

FranMag

i got the egg part jwr, the rest wakaranai!

3:53 am

herinfernallady

She is not my doctor. Mine was away. She stuffed up on a coouple of things

3:53 am

sprite

(minus that last s on pluckers)

3:53 am

jwr

I did not start it -- I think Sprite did it. Probably, I thinks Sprite usually starts first ... and ends the same way :)

3:53 am

dcseain

yes tamago i recognized, but it seemed not right te preseme it Japanese.

3:54 am

sprite

lol jwr! If you want to blame someone, take FMitch... that is HER job ;)

3:54 am

dcseain

nor to presume it. :)

3:54 am

jwr

the language is Japanese and it's actually a Buddhist twister, if memory serves.

3:54 am

jwr

FMitch has a job??

3:55 am

sprite

FMitch is appointed The One to Blame for Everything here. By Haz, and we concurred. And we love FMitch for it.

3:55 am

sprite

ok, have to be off, sorry. Physiotherapy now.

3:55 am

dcseain

yes, her job here in Babble is to take the blame and be at fault.

3:55 am

herinfernallady

What i meant is that was you know when you turn up white noise that is what its like in my head right now

3:56 am

FranMag

later sprite!

3:56 am

dcseain

hasta, sprite

3:56 am

jwr

Oh, I am So glad. I thought it was all my fault.

3:56 am

dcseain

ah, okay, lady. that make sense

3:56 am

FranMag

i actually know what you mean infernal, completely different from hearing voices

3:57 am

jwr

May your joints move soft and smooth, Sprite.

3:57 am

FranMag

i have to be off too, it's almost midnight and i still have to do quote-puzzler.

3:57 am

jwr

Herin, do you just have tinnitus or have you checked for Menier's?

3:58 am

FranMag

i'll save these last 64 for tomorrow

3:58 am

dcseain

sleep well, fran!

3:58 am

FranMag

jwr, that's a good suggestion!

3:58 am

FranMag

wait, not going yet, i was just checked for menier's by an ENT

3:59 am

jwr

and ??

3:59 am

herinfernallady

HI JWR.

3:59 am

herinfernallady

My doc was unavailable thus her

3:59 am

jwr

ho, herin

3:59 am

FranMag

had to do a full hearing and balance test, balance test was horrible, i threw up and was sick the rest of the day

4:00 am

SaddySolar

sruck again :( at co5,18

4:00 am

FranMag

nothing was conclusive, but the ENT said symptoms come and go

4:00 am

SaddySolar

*stuck

4:00 am

dcseain

past of the co5/16 under it, saddy

4:00 am

FranMag

saddy, past tense of "shy" word that's not in the grid

4:00 am

jwr

wow, that's heavy. It does sound like inner ear. Are you okay now?

4:01 am

SaddySolar

Fanks dc ;)

4:01 am

FranMag

yeah, went to see the ENT because i had vertigo every morning for a week

4:01 am

dcseain

how, awful, fran.

4:01 am

FranMag

infernal, maybe you need to see an ENT

4:02 am

jwr

"inconclusive" is a real pain, Fran. Hope they pinpoint something treatable soon.

4:02 am

FranMag

menier's causes ringing in the ears and a feeling of fullness.

4:03 am

dcseain

fullness in what sense?

4:03 am

FranMag

i still have some ringing occasionally, but no vertigo again, thank goodness

4:03 am

FranMag

like there's liquid in there

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Oh FRAN lilianne (i think) has that really bad.

4:03 am

dcseain

ah, i see. good to know.

4:04 am

FranMag

doc said a low-salt diet can relieve symptoms

4:04 am

jwr

no sense grid-diagnosing (though I know this chatgroup are probably the world's best cat vets)

4:04 am

FranMag

if you have menier's that is

4:05 am

herinfernallady

No i don' think you get it. What i mean is sometimes it gets all busy in my head and i want quite. Extreme example is someone that is schizophrenic and hears voices that tells them do to things. Its not Like that but its all busy

4:05 am

FranMag

lol jwr, there are certainly a lot of pet people around

4:05 am

jwr

exactly, Fran -- so best to wait for solid test results. ... of course, low-salt diet is good anyway

4:06 am

FranMag

no, i do know what you mean infernal, i remember telling my dad when i was little that i heard things like that

4:06 am

dcseain

i understand entirely, lady. peridiocally, when i've been on various meds, or enough caffeine, my brain gets quiet, and i can sit and not think of anything. it's amazing to have silence in the brain.

4:07 am

FranMag

like voices shouting, but you can't make out words, just noise.

4:07 am

jwr

we hear you herin. Hope the grid is a pleasant distraction. ... Fran, when I first started watching you guys talking, I thought I was on the wrong website and it was exclusively for catpeople.

4:08 am

dcseain

LOL, there are dog people here, and rabbit people here, and horse people here

4:08 am

FranMag

LOL, there are dog people too jwr and quite a few people that take in strays of all types. :-)

4:08 am

dcseain

i have 2 cats and a rabbit, and my roomate has a dog.

4:09 am

dcseain

right, there's at least one wildlife rehabilitator in our ranks.

4:09 am

FranMag

okay, i really have to go now.

4:09 am

dcseain

g'night, fran :)

4:09 am

FranMag

infernal, i hope you get to see your regular doctor soon! ((hug))

4:09 am

FranMag

bye everyone!

4:10 am

jwr

hug two.

4:10 am

jwr

dcseain

4:12 am

KatieMcG

Fuggles is named after a friends rats, they are lovely but she lets then run riot in the house so they cause a lot of damage. Not keen on the wild ones though!!

4:14 am

herinfernallady

Katie how is the kitties and the hammie

4:14 am

jwr

Raised huskies long long ago in Colorado but when my brain decided to move to the 'big city' and travel a lot, I decided not to have any pets of my own ... but I wound up sitting for other people's animals: mammals, reptiles, fish, whatever fit in the door. Might as well have kept my own!

4:14 am

dcseain

i dog-sit for people, but don't want one of my own. too much work on a day-to-day basis.

4:14 am

KatieMcG

They are all good thank herin, we have put the tree up but not decorated it yet which is our next challenge, but all the animals are a real joy :-)

4:15 am

herinfernallady

JWR that is very cool of you to look after others (i typed otters) peoples pets

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Katie have non chewable things at the bottom. Also lights and tinsel is not cool with kitties.

4:16 am

SaddySolar

4:16 am

jwr

4:17 am

dcseain

saddy, think BIG

4:17 am

jwr

before I go, herin, gotta say I never had care of an otter ... but there is a family of raccooms locally who used to come thru the pet door and steal the animals' food

4:18 am

dcseain

'coons are like that.

4:18 am

KatieMcG

put it this way, we are not having chocolate on the tree this year!! They ate Hubby2B's chocolate I left on the side for him yesterday

4:19 am

dcseain

herinfernallady

4:59 am

Atalante

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:00 am

Haz1558

Lovely - the clue? Thank you!

5:00 am

herinfernallady

RMC did you get swamped?

5:00 am

Karys

hi herin

5:00 am

FMitch

No, lovely to see you dafty :)

5:00 am

Haz1558

Or lovely, you're here? Thank you!

5:00 am

Atalante

now the bouncy one wants to go and run. i however want my tea first

5:01 am

Haz1558

Okay, got your drift now.

5:01 am

grannyrose

no, herin, but was certainly an interesting drive home!

5:01 am

Haz1558

Tell your husband to sit and wait, Ata.

5:01 am

grannyrose

thanx haz, bbling now

5:01 am

Atalante

ha! cant renmember the last time *he* bounced!

5:02 am

FMitch

Ha ha

5:02 am

herinfernallady

That is good

5:02 am

grannyrose

wheeeeee! found it, thanx soooo much haz!

5:02 am

Haz1558

Be thankful he doesn't scratch his ears either.

5:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome rmc.

5:02 am

FMitch

maybe he does.....

5:02 am

Atalante

and how do you know that? lol

5:02 am

grannyrose

or lick his ****

5:03 am

Haz1558

I've never seen him wearing an Elizabethan collar. From that I deduce.....

5:03 am

herinfernallady

RMC was a bit worried aobut you

5:03 am

Atalante

talking of husband ... he wants to leave Holbbit's collar on until "the fur has grown back completely"

5:04 am

Atalante

"maybe a month"

5:04 am

grannyrose

awww herin, that's really sweet of you.

5:04 am

Haz1558

I think you should shoot him and get another husband.

5:04 am

FMitch

Tell him to wear one for that long and see how he likes it.

5:04 am

Haz1558

I don't really. Can you babble from jail?

5:04 am

Karys

that's a little harsh Haz !

5:05 am

westford

Well I sent Dr. God a message. That's quite a name. lol

5:05 am

herinfernallady

sod it. I hit the enter key too soon. Let me try again. Rose i was a bit worried about you. The weather people said you lot got about 30mil plus rain (someone said 80mil) we got 6 mil here totally missed us

5:05 am

Haz1558

I know, Karys. Rough or ruff justice?

5:05 am

Atalante

babbling from jail would be the sticking point

5:05 am

Haz1558

Unless you committed the perfect crime meaning your guilt was undetectable.

5:06 am

Karys

I don't know Ata...seems to be you can do most things there these days !

5:06 am

Haz1558

I bet Hobbit would yield the secret if bribed enough.

5:06 am

Karys

I see the m

5:06 am

grannyrose

all the roads between work and home were washed out, cars getting stuck in mud etc, but by the time i left work, most of it had drained away.

5:06 am

FMitch

Ponders the perfect crime, murder in another hemisphere...

5:06 am

Karys

'missing man' has been arrested

5:07 am

FMitch

Wonder what the story is going to be there Karys

5:07 am

Atalante

though I suppose you could mail me the grids every week so I could do them on paper at least

5:07 am

Haz1558

What did they use in the first Gulf War - was it cruise missiles that could be guided to their target?

5:07 am

grannyrose

say what? karys. wasn't he really missing then?

5:07 am

Haz1558

Was that the missing canoeist?

5:07 am

Atalante

scuds? a lot of missiles are guided now

5:07 am

FMitch

yes thats the one Haz

5:07 am

Atalante

yup

5:08 am

Karys

Yes Haz...sounds like an insurance fiddle at the moment

5:08 am

Haz1558

Scuds - the very one. They could be programmed to stop at traffic lights and everything.

5:08 am

Haz1558

So, his wife taking off to the Bahamas six weeks ago maybe wasn't a coincidence?

5:08 am

Karys

seems not quite as missing as people thought rmc !

5:08 am

FMitch

Why had the wife just moved to Panama?

5:09 am

Atalante

he was missing for 5 years, then just turned up with no memory of the last 5 years

5:09 am

grannyrose

lol, haz. can just see that! " well, officer, i was just waiting for the lights to change, and this scud overtook me "

5:09 am

Haz1558

Was it Panama? Somewhere hot anyway. Maybe she was setting up a love nest for them.

5:09 am

westford

I wish my husband would take me to the Bahamas for 6 weeks

5:09 am

westford

too cold here now

5:09 am

herinfernallady

So the guy that went missing is a fraud?

5:10 am

Haz1558

I think Scuds are the way forward for the perfect murder.

5:10 am

Atalante

but why hand yourself in rather than jut go to panama and get away with it?

5:10 am

Karys

I wondered what had made him just turn up at a police station after all this time

5:10 am

EspritdJean

no, an icicle through the heart or brain is the perfect murder, the murder weapon melts

5:10 am

Atalante

or maybe a spaniel assassin. no-one would suspect them

5:10 am

Haz1558

Maybe he had read the brochures on Panama and didn't like the idea.

5:10 am

FMitch

News just said that he and wife were in Panama last year and he has been arrested on fraud charges.

5:11 am

Karys

LOL,,,,Haz !

5:11 am

bfsog

when i heard the story, i really thought it was something paranormal. i thought maybe aliens abducted him and then returned him here on saturday

5:11 am

herinfernallady

Interesting.

5:11 am

westford

a leg of lamb is good too you can cook it and eat it for dinner

5:11 am

FMitch

I think we coiuld write a MUCH more interesting plot.

5:11 am

bfsog

but in 5 years he has had to live somewhere, work somewhere etc, to me i think over the next few days it will become clear him and his wife are frauds, i hope not

5:11 am

Karys

Strange things people do !

5:12 am

Haz1558

So, a spaniel carrying a rocket assisted icicle gun?

5:12 am

Karys

I suppose I had better return to the bathrooms !!

5:12 am

Haz1558

That sounds feasible, doesn't it?

5:12 am

Atalante

sounds good

5:13 am

Karys

back in a bit

5:13 am

Atalante

everything is possible

5:13 am

FMitch

Dusting off Literary Agent hat - Haz, could you sketch out a story line and the 1st chapter for me by say, Friday?

5:13 am

grannyrose

thank-you haz, i really needed that chuckle

5:13 am

Haz1558

Okay, but what's the advance going to be?

5:13 am

FMitch

I'll get George back for starters, how does that sound?

5:13 am

lynxxx

Miss 20%, you sound very efficient FM

5:13 am

Haz1558

Not that I'm mercenary, but.....

5:14 am

Atalante

The arrest came as the Daily Mirror published a photo alleging it showed Mr Darwin and his wife, Anne, in Panama.

The newspaper reported that a photo of the Darwins was apparently taken last year in an apartment rented through the firm Move to Panama.

5:14 am

FMitch

*grin* Hello lynxxx

5:14 am

Haz1558

George. For Christmas?

5:14 am

lynxxx

hello all...can recommend 2 Days in Paris - thats a film not a destinatiion!

5:15 am

FMitch

George is not just for Christmas Haz, we all know that!

5:15 am

Haz1558

Ooooooh. No time to babble, there's a murder to plot!

5:15 am

FMitch

LOL

5:16 am

Atalante

I'll do the pics for the book if I get Hayden for Christmas

5:16 am

lynxxx

Hayden?

5:16 am

herinfernallady

I reckon the guy went nuts and they thought about cashing in life insurance by him vanishing but he reneged. I reckon he was probably in a secret nut house

5:17 am

Haz1558

The new musical genius of our age.

5:17 am

Atalante

*gasp*

5:17 am

grannyrose

6:15 am

If they need a daily dose of humor, send me their email addresses. More than just MS patients get it, but it's mainly for housebound folks who can still use a computer.

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

thanks, merk

6:16 am

Eva

my daughter-in-law was diagnosed about 8 years ago. She is only 37

6:17 am

If you email me jokes though, please only "clean" ones. I don't want to offend anyone on my mailing list.

6:17 am

Eva

she sends us jokes, but most are not PG

6:17 am

Uneaixoise

sorry to hear that, Eva -- my sister-in-law has apparently had symptoms for 20 years--started right after her second child was born

Angelsong

hi, all. would anyone be offended by a religious-ish joke?

6:22 am

Merk

No, a very good friend did and I took over her mailing list when she died. Now another good friend has it. I have lots of time to work on jokes when I'm not babbling or in China.

6:22 am

SaddySolar

does anyone have the first ex6,36???

6:22 am

Merk

No, religious jokes are fine ... also inspirational articles.

6:23 am

Merk

I have no ex words yet, Saddy, sorry. I'm stuck on the an 6 word right now. Help please.

6:23 am

Uneaixoise

"I have lots of time to work on jokes when I'm not babbling or in China." Outside this chat this would be a very bizarre statement! LOL

6:23 am

6:25 am

Merk

6:25 am

Angelsong

this is a joke I heard some time ago. A pastor noticed that his flock seemed very bored with church services, so one Sunday morning, he told them, "we're going to try something different this morning. Instead of my usual sermon, I'm going to say a word, then you sing whatever hymn the word brings to mind."

6:25 am

SaddySolar

Merk... an6,24 could cheer up your MS mailing list by sending jokes

6:25 am

Angelsong

He paused, then said, "grace". The flock sang "Amazing Grace". Pastor said, "Rock". They sang, "Rock of Ages." It continued this way through several hymns. Then Pastor said, "sex". Not a sound. no one moved, no one breathed. Finally, from the very back of the sanctuary, a little old lady stood up and began to sing, "Precious Memories."

6:28 am

mrpresident

I love all my pets and they give us great joy.

Not there yet, Angel, sorry. I'm tryiing to figure out why the Indian in a boat is not a word.

lol got itThanks.... the words i learn everyday

6:39 am

6:40 am

de7,40 is related to de5,14

6:40 am

mrpresident

Ella is a valuable member of our family. She is gorgeous and gives our family much joy.
She isn't just a pet, she is a friend to my son! He loves her and it is more than all the therapy paid in the world for him to have her live

6:41 am

SaddySolar

the other de7,40 is the same as the other except for another consonant in place of n

6:41 am

herinfernallady

oh feck i didn't mean that. I mean in the sense people see rats as a thing not a being.

help with fe5,20???

6:42 am

I know what you mean MrP. Fuggles got me through a very rough time in my life and has brought untold joy. He is as important a member of our family as any of the three kitties

6:42 am

Angelsong

got the li5/12. li + consonant+ two letter abbreviation for how come people cool their homes.

6:42 am

Uniquity

I adore my kitties, and I equally adore my fish...but just like I rarely take myself to the doctor, animals only go when incredibly sick or getting "fixed". I have had quite a few pets die by the vets fault, or someone else's decision, and it's heart breaking.

6:42 am

herinfernallady

I love rats and wholly support anyone that is spending money on what society sees as a thing not a being that is why is said in apostrophes

6:43 am

mrpresident

infern!! you are a great ambassador for my pets! thank you!

6:43 am

ty angel

6:44 am

according to my pal, rats are sophisticated hamsters

6:44 am

SaddySolar

fe5,20 please

6:44 am

KatieMcG

I know what you mean Uniquity, I had to go a lot with the kitties but in the end I felt their advice was not good as they wanted Crumble to be on a special food for life whereas the manufacturer only recommended it for a maximum of 6 months in the most severe cases. Stopped buying it and will only be back when one of them is hurt or ill

6:44 am

herinfernallady

I don't like society that much. This arsehat put down his Sharpe as it got hit by a car and would have cost $2000 to fix. Heck if that was my pet i would sell myself and everything i owned to help it live

6:44 am

KatieMcG

Bonkler - i'll have you know Fuggles is a very sophisticated hamster!!!!!

6:45 am

bonkler

lol wasn't me! i was quoting my friend who is a rat devotee.

6:46 am

KatieMcG

In addition he needs a much smaller cage ;-)

6:46 am

Uniquity

I always thought that fish were disposable pets..just something that sits there. When I went to uni last year, I bought myself a betta cuz I coudn't have my kitty. Since then, I have learned they are not disposable! I've taught Hannibal to do "tricks" of sorts...I talk to him all the time (which probably is a bad sign).

Sorry Saddy, I just began.

6:47 am

mrpresident

our rats are our friends. they are worth everything to our children... that is what matters. I asked my kids if they would give them up if they were sick, they cried and cried. As they could be saved, we did it ... it is a reflection on me... if I could be saved, they would do anything for me too.
There is nothing different from me to a pet. We are both loved

6:47 am

KatieMcG

Just going to put fuggy as my icon, be right back. I don't have it saddy.

6:47 am

I'm sorry, Saddy, I am still on the c words, not to the f yet.

6:47 am

Merk

She needs an fe.

6:47 am

SaddySolar

I am saddy

6:48 am

Uniquity

MrP, that is the best way to look at it - I bought my lil bro a betta as well, and when his died (his first death experience with a pet) he cried and cried. Felt very upset and responsible.

6:48 am

Merk

I still need the cl 5, 18, too

6:49 am

SaddySolar

i dont know how to describe cl5, 18

6:49 am

SaddySolar

cl5,18 1. Psychiatry. an intense headache in which the pain is likened to one that would be produced by a sharp object driven into the skull.

How safe are rat surgeries? That went wrong...I just imagine as they are relatively small, operations must be tricky. Is it looking good?

6:52 am

SaddySolar

im scared of rats

6:52 am

I applaud you mrp. Growing up we had several versions of "Sniffles" our most treasured rat(s)

I had a hamster call Clotty when I first left home 21 years ago. I thought there was something wrong with her and took her to the vets on the back of my moped, the vet thought I was joking until he saw the crash helmet!!

Uniquity

MrP, Lori special ordered it the other day

6:56 am

KatieMcG

We had the rum ambasador on the radio the other night, he was so funny, claimed it was the most popular drink because barmen liked it rather than on sales as vodka outsold it!! He was lovely

6:56 am

I do have a harness to walk Fuggles, I bought it in Canada last year, never had the nerve to put it on him, the sulk would last for weeks.

6:57 am

bbnaz

we spent over $600 on the meanest cockatiel (who only cost $35) once. Then the vet wanted to show me how to "calm" him down by holding him with my thumb and index finger around his neck. I told him that if I put my fingers like that around Ozzie's neck, I would wring it.........but he lived another three years.

6:57 am

Good clue bonkler

8:21 am

Atalante

hi again :) BR, do you know anything about theodicy?

8:23 am

Judi

Morning, all. Hey, Ata... didn't theodicy come after "The Iliad" (nyuk nyuk nyuk).

8:24 am

Atalante

LMAO, very good Judi!

8:25 am

FMitch

*Faint and dinstant hoots of laughter from Berkshire*

8:25 am

EvaNadine

*rolls eyes* oh jeez...

8:26 am

Haz1558

The idiocy of it all.

8:26 am

Atalante

see what you started FM! :)

8:26 am

Judi

Obviously, I have no idea what the word really means. Something related to religion / theology?

8:26 am

bfsog

fe 5,18?

8:27 am

FMitch

Me???? it was Judi!

8:27 am

Haz1558

fe5/18 - relating to bottom matters

8:27 am

Atalante

You suggested asking BR :P

8:27 am

Judi

Fe5/18: the source of E-Coli.

8:27 am

vanessa8

bfsog...think potty

8:27 am

Atalante

Theodicy (IPA: /θiːˈɒdɪsi/) (adjectival form theodicean) is a specific branch of theology and philosophy that attempts to reconcile the existence of evil or suffering in the world with the belief in an omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent God, i.e., the problem of evil. Theodiceans are those who seek to reconcile the co-existence of evil and God;

8:27 am

FMitch

Oh in which case blame him for not answering you quickly enough then.

8:28 am

Uneaixoise

eeww

8:28 am

Atalante

why should I blame him when its clearly your fault?

8:28 am

bfsog

ty

8:29 am

Judi

Just monkied the X

8:29 am

Haz1558

It's always your fault, FM. Except when you get away with the perfect murder.

8:30 am

FMitch

*gets red pencil out and erases Hayden from the script*

8:30 am

Cherrypop

Une-is that a reindeer playing with a hula hoop?

8:30 am

Haz1558

She's harsh, Atalante, isn't she?

8:31 am

Atalante

noooooooo!

8:31 am

Uneaixoise

a wreath!

8:31 am

Atalante

especially when its *clearly* her fault

8:31 am

Judi

Ah, so Theodiceans would believe in the existence of de5/14.

8:32 am

Atalante

yup!

8:32 am

FMitch

*cancels Nicole Kidmans body double and reconsiders Ata role*

8:33 am

Haz1558

Keep this up, FMitch and she'll only be a face in the crowd.

8:33 am

Cherrypop

But the wreath (twirling around) the antler like a hula hoop

8:33 am

Atalante

that means spangle will have to do the deed

8:33 am

BabbleRabble

In Archibald MacLeish's play, "J.B." the title character expresses the theodicy paradox eloquently: "If God is God He is not good, if God is good He is not God; take the even, take the odd..."

8:33 am

Uneaixoise

ok . . . :-)

8:34 am

Haz1558

Too easily traceable, Atalante. I had thought of her and she was willing but...

8:34 am

Cherrypop

too early too deep BR

8:34 am

Atalante

and Hobbit isn't? Really we should borrow a friend's cousin's daughter's spaniel

8:35 am

Haz1558

That sounds suitably convoluted. It could work. Good thinking there.

8:35 am

Atalante

or ... we could induce the CoG to our side ... induce is the wrong word. Brain is dead

8:36 am

Haz1558

Seduce - I'd have thought that word would have been on the tip of your tongue, especialy with Hayden in the picture.

8:36 am

Haz1558

Or not in the picture, depending on FMitch's editorial red pencil.

8:36 am

Atalante

I'm tiiiiired! Long walk in the rain and wind!

8:37 am

Atalante

Seduce ... Hayden ... yes, that sounds good

8:37 am

Haz1558

Poor girl, a nap might help?

8:38 am

Haz1558

By the way, what do you do if you've eaten the evidence of a possible complaint?

8:38 am

FMitch

Ata can't nap, she doesn't have time. Has to take crash course in thodicy

8:38 am

Atalante

too busy on Secret Project

8:39 am

Atalante

that too

8:39 am

Haz1558

We had a multipack of KitKats. The first few were defective in that they consisted of mostly chocolate with hardly any wafer. The latter ones are normal. We were hoping for a massive compensation from KitKat but will they believe us?

8:39 am

FMitch

Are you the complainee Haz?

8:39 am

Haz1558

To be honest, they were very nice, just not what you expect from a KitKat.

8:40 am

FMitch

That actually sounds like a good deal more choc than bic,

8:40 am

Atalante

kitkats are nice like that!

8:40 am

Haz1558

I know - there was practically no evidence of wafer at all in some. But we've eaten the defective ones and the rest in the pack are normal.

8:41 am

FMitch

Too late, too late then.

8:42 am

Atalante

I think thats a fairly common "defect". I've had one or two like that

8:42 am

Haz1558

Well, I'll be sure to hold off eating any more defective ones. (Chance would be a fine thing!)

8:43 am

FMitch

Oh, have you had any return communique from the unmentionable store?

8:44 am

Haz1558

The unmentionable store has failed to communicate at all. No Christmas card for them!

8:44 am

Judi

Seeing as how you ate the evidence, I don't think KitKat will have any sympathy for your claim.

8:44 am

movieman

Hiya everyone!!!!!

8:45 am

FMitch

*spit* in a ladylike manner of course.
Hi mm

8:45 am

Haz1558

I know Judi. Unless I could claim that I was so mentally traumatised that I didn't know what I was doing?

8:45 am

Judi

Sigh. BBL. Have to work on the dreaded monthly report.

8:45 am

Haz1558

Hello movieman!

movieman

8:47 am

Haz1558

8:47 am

NonoNanette

8:47 am

Vicuna

A store that sells Victorian underwear?

8:47 am

Atalante

8:50 am

FMitch

Personally I love them but the small central one in Haz's town shut down and opened further out as a large store

8:50 am

BabbleRabble

EvaNadine

8:51 am

Atalante

no! vexation! dont' worry though, in a few years they'#ll open a new express store in the town centre again

8:51 am

Haz1558

And ran down the smaller store to such an extent that it resembled Russia during the cold war, but insisting on trading.

8:51 am

EvaNadine

8:51 am

lideola

8:51 am

FMitch

Hey mm are Transformers still your #1, no other film has come close?

8:52 am

movieman

You mean this year, FMitch, or of all time?

8:52 am

BabbleRabble

re 8 -- stayed put

8:52 am

Merk

Back again briefly. Did I miss anything. I suppose all of the earlier babblers finished and I'm still at 78.

8:52 am

Haz1558

Hello Merk.

8:53 am

BabbleRabble

Merk

Hi, Haz

EvaNadine

8:53 am

BabbleRabble

re 8 one using the chair

8:53 am

FMitch

This year, as your icon has remain unchanged it made me wonder.

8:53 am

Haz1558

Then lie back in your lazeeboy.

8:53 am

EvaNadine

ahh, got em -- thanks!

8:54 am

Merk

Fmitch, is that a clue or something?

8:55 am

movieman

Nope, it's still my fave film of the year, although Hot Fuzz, The Bourne Ultimatum and Stardust are running close behind......

8:55 am

FMitch

Hi Merk, no it's part of a conversaion with mm, sorry.

8:56 am

FMitch

Stardust looked good in the trailers I must say.

8:57 am

bonkler

movieman, here is the blog of the fellow who wrote transformers, well, the initial drafts at least <A href="http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/"
>kung fu monkey</A>

8:57 am

Merk

That's OK. I bury my nose in the grid, but when I come for air, if I see something that looks like a clue, I try to get right on it.

8:57 am

bonkler

okay ignore the html tag lol

8:58 am

movieman

ty bonkler, will check it out

8:59 am

FMitch

Oh Haz, could you work in some cake making action into the script? Ata needs some practice as she is making one for a friends birthday :)

9:00 am

Haz1558

Cake-making. It'll have to be a sub-plot. I love the bit in Some like it hot where the assassins jump out of the birthday cake.

9:00 am

Haz1558

Has she a big enough tin though?

9:01 am

Vicuna

Oooh, ooh, can I jump out of a cake?

9:01 am

Vicuna

(No idea what you're talking about, of course, but if it involves cakes it's got to be good.)

9:01 am

Haz1558

Sure, as long as you don't suffer from claustrophobia.

9:02 am

Vicuna

If I feel the need for more space, I'll just nibble away until I have a larger hole int he middle.

9:02 am

FMitch

Well seeing as I make a typo yesterday and suggested she buy 2 x 7' tins rather than 7" ones yes.
Vi I'm sure we could work a role into the film for you

9:02 am

Haz1558

It's a film script/detective story for the perfect murder.

9:02 am

Atalante

I do! Though I did find a pre-made Victoria sponge in the co-op which tastes ok, if not wonderful

9:02 am

bbnaz

I just love Some Like It Hot.

9:02 am

bonkler

be pretty uncomfortable during the baking as well

9:02 am

Vicuna

ooooh. Who's the murderee?

9:03 am

Aloyisius

a lot of teenagers suffer from exyma.. hi Babblers! Looks like an interesting grid, 202 words and not an s to be seen

9:03 am

bbnaz

hello Aloy

9:03 am

FMitch

HAz, can you email the plot so far to Vi?

9:03 am

Vicuna

Oh yes, please!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, of course. With or without the cake?

9:03 am

Vicuna

Good point, bonkler. I'll wear protective gear.

9:04 am

Haz1558

Is your e-mail address in your profile, Vicuna?

9:04 am

FMitch

1st draft will do fine for now

9:04 am

Vicuna

In re: Some Like it Hot. I confess to not being one who walks like jello on springs.

9:04 am

Aloyisius

hi bbnaz

9:04 am

Vicuna

If you follow the link from profile to web site my e-mail is plastered all over that in the hope of encouraging orders! =)

Hello Aloy

9:05 am

Haz1558

OKay, Vicuna, will do.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

howdy, FMitch.. (-:

9:05 am

Atalante

oh oh oh I have to post this in here, from the LJ group mock_the_stupid:
Just had an *emergency* phonecall from Goldfish Girl. She has broken her new laptop. The one she spent over a grand on, for her son. The most expensive one in the shop. She bought it *because* it was the most expensive one in the shop. And she broke it today. And somehow I don't think she is going to get it repaired under warranty, and unless her insurance policy covers abject fuckwittery then I think she is boned there as well.

See, she was trying to get information about the carers society up on the intertubes, and having done so wanted a hard copy of it. Only she doesn't know how to print from her laptop. So she did the next best thing. She went, laptop in hand (open, running, and still displaying the web page) to the public library. To seek assistance and advice from the local librarions? Nope. To *use the phorocopier*

Yes. She tried to photocopy the laptop display. As a result her grand and a bit HP laptop is now a flaptop. Lappy hinges do not, it seems, stand up to having the form-feed lid of a photocopier closed down on them suddenly.

I have a headache just contemplating it.

9:06 am

Vicuna

Cool. I await it eagerly.

9:06 am

Atalante

sorry for the long post but its so funny

9:06 am

FMitch

Vi one word of warning - please put down all drink before reading, you do not want to mess up your screen or keyboard.

9:07 am

Uniquity

Is that real? That can't be real...

9:07 am

Atalante

its real

9:07 am

bbnaz

money does not brains buy

9:07 am

Uniquity

Oh dear.

9:07 am

Vicuna

Thank you for the warning FM. And if I want to make a copy I will not try to photocopy it!

9:07 am

Uniquity

Someone will get a Darwin award eventually!

9:07 am

Atalante

its an LJ group where people write in the stupid things they see / hear any day. Sometimes it has some quite wonderful moments

9:07 am

Deeha

Still having trouble getting my chin up off the floor

9:07 am

Aloyisius

you have to die, I believe, to get a Darwin Award

9:08 am

bonkler

x - first three letters of warrior princess + third vowel and semicircular letter

9:08 am

Uniquity

That's why I said eventually...I figure she will only get worse :)

9:08 am

Atalante

doesnt that make you all feel soooo smart?

9:17 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:18 am

FMitch

Absolutely bbnz!

9:18 am

I agree, bbnaz. I try it every time. Enable does not do horses.

9:18 am

hootowl

Never bet on a sure thing and thanks for finishing my mo's

9:18 am

Atalante

9:18 am

Deeha

I agree BB and why isnt acer a word every gardner has one??

9:18 am

Scarlet

I won't bet on a sure thing, Haz... I'll wait until the odds get a little better... A longshot such as FMitch NOT being blamed for everything from the Garden of Eden to the situation in Iraq.

9:18 am

bbnaz

go figure........and Ata one of these times, I WILL find something nobody else knows.

9:18 am

hootowl

Enable is finickier than any woman real or imagined!

9:18 am

movieman

9:18 am

9:19 am

mkg

9:19 am

Vicuna

It accepts some latin plant names but not others.

9:19 am

Aloyisius

almost as bad as exyma, but i am having fun

9:19 am

sprite

usually works that way

9:20 am

Deeha

cant see why - is it Daffodil or Rose??? Am I being awkward??!!

9:20 am

Vicuna

(Just returned from reading the script, and am giggling quite wickedly.)

9:20 am

bichon

an 7? anyone, please

9:20 am

Scarlet

Well, pinkhat... I am just delighted that things are looking very rosy for you!

9:20 am

redshoes

anyone else want to enter "oxymoron"?

9:20 am

sprite

hey Vic

9:20 am

pabtrek

bichon, you said a word

9:20 am

Haz1558

bichon, I'm having a look now.

9:20 am

movieman

it's a sea creature, bichon, and also a flower

9:20 am

sprite

redshoes, that would be me. As recorded in earlier chat today, lol.

9:20 am

Atalante

because the scientific name for an acer is Acer *insert species name*. That has then been brought into the common vernacular. The scientific name for Daffodil isnt daffodil etc

9:20 am

Deeha

hahaha just got the an7 -that proves my point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:21 am

Vicuna

Hello, sprite.

9:21 am

The Enhanced North American Benchmark LEexicon package provides a 173,000+ word standardized tournament-level master list, more carefully researched than "official" and proprietary lists.

9:21 am

9:21 am

Vicuna

lol, thanks, FM!

9:22 am

Atalante

but I totally agree with you, Deeha! I'm just saying how enable thinks I *think*

9:22 am

mkg

darn, cant get those al words. any clues?

9:23 am

movieman

mkg, a+a straight l***

9:23 am

Deeha

s'all right, ignore me. I'll just got for a lie down in a darkened room!!

9:23 am

Atalante

I wonder if it would accept things like potentillas or aquilegias

9:23 am

Haz1558

I've just realised that I had a mental block about how to spell that an7.

9:23 am

FMitch

But BabbleRabble one wonders how up to date is the version that is behind Babble

9:23 am

Vicuna

aquilegia would be a fabulous word!

9:24 am

sprite

FMitch: not

9:24 am

Vicuna

But it accepts erica, for example.

9:24 am

Haz1558

I thought it was a 2003 version that was used, but I could be wrong. Just don't tell me children that I said I thought I could be wrong.

9:24 am

hootowl

I'd say about 20 yes. No yasers or lasers and such

9:24 am

Atalante

yes .... it seems very random on scientific names being allowed / not allowed

9:24 am

sprite

huh, not even internet. Says it all.

9:25 am

Vicuna

The internet existed in 2003, so this Enable version must date from, like 1989.

9:25 am

FMitch

*faints at the mere thought that Madam Haz might be ... wrong... shudder*

9:25 am

hootowl

yrs - and acceptance depends on it's mood that minute!

9:25 am

Haz1558

It doesn't bear thinking about, does it? The world would make a little less sense.

9:25 am

mkg

that an 7 is weird spelling. i pronounce it differently than it is spelled.

9:25 am

pinkhatlil

does anyone know how Mr President is doing?

9:25 am

FMitch

There there sprite, deep breaths.

9:26 am

Chris P

halfway through & finally greyed out a box - the e on the 2nd row from bottom!!

9:26 am

Haz1558

pink - she has sold the house and is adopting another child.

9:26 am

hootowl

I hate to think of the time I've spent lookinf for a word that it just didn't feel like accepting at that moment!

9:26 am

sprite

Haz, you cannot be wrong.
Rule # 1: Haz is always right.
Rule # 2: The very moment Haz is not right, rule # 1 applies automatically.

9:26 am

Vicuna

We'll all put it out of our minds, Haz, and go back to our comfortable existence.

9:26 am

Aloyisius

wonder what would be involved in switching to another dictionary.. if Dr. G would even consider it..

9:26 am

Haz1558

So pleased! Now can you educate my husband?

9:26 am

sprite

that would mean change, Aloy... no chance he would consider it!

9:27 am

FMitch

Shhhhh Aloy, that is close to blasphemy

9:27 am

sprite

you mean he does not know still, Haz???

9:27 am

movieman

86 left.....it's break time......bbl

9:27 am

Vicuna

Besides, think how confused we would all be at having all the meaningless Babblets suddenly rejected!

9:27 am

pinkhatlil

she has been a busy woman lol thanks Haz!

9:27 am

sprite

bye movie my man

9:27 am

Aloyisius

... slinking away to the guillotine..

9:27 am

Haz1558

He fights against it, sprite. 25 years, you'd think he'd have learned by now.

9:27 am

alicesuckling

i only have 82 words and i'm very stuck

9:27 am

sprite

I don't want another dictionary, btw... I love my babblets.

9:27 am

9:28 am

9:28 am

sprite

9:28 am

Haz1558

10:37 am

mkg

theme as in the grid? i havent seen one word related to it......maybe i am just thick in the head.

10:38 am

mkg

inge any customs you want to ask about just ask away. but also could love some clues! al 6 last one, and an 6 are stumping me

al 6; past tense of al t

10:39 am

mkg

what is al t?

10:40 am

inge

where were you mkg when Nutter wanted to know why there are 10 in a minyion? After two days of asking, we did finally get an answer from a rabbi

inge

mkg, use the first three letters of your quetion and add the number before 2

10:43 am

Atalante

30-40 minutes apparently

10:43 am

mkg

that is right inge, the concept for a moral ethical community is what the torah is all about. and it was an attempt to set up a society that was good for every individual. and each individual counts and is important to the society. so ten are needed for certain prayers. there is an idea that being alone is not what people should be. and that community is emotionally healthy and mentally you are happier with community.

10:43 am

FMitch

Ready the cameras!!

Haz1558

You're welcome!

11:50 am

mkg

haz cant get it from that clue. dont know dutch. i assumed it was a play on artists name but not in dictionary. too bad.

11:51 am

Haz1558

No, it's just a joke because lots of Dutch people have his in the middle of their names, it's a variation of the German von.

11:51 am

mkg

i am betting the sometimes vowel is in there.

11:51 am

Haz1558

So, change the vowel in the German word mentioned, add males.

11:51 am

Aloyisius

ooh, Haz.. that was clever!

11:51 am

Vicuna

And don't use the sometimes vowel.

11:52 am

Vicuna

It would make the points wrong.

11:52 am

mkg

haz another clue most welcome. i am not getting it.

11:52 am

Haz1558

Thanks Aloy - glad you liked it.

11:52 am

11:56 am

Haz1558

Bye mkg, have a good day.

11:57 am

Vicuna

I do not let a day go by without using every single word in the OED at least once.

11:57 am

Atalante

ah yes but you are superwoman Vi, not a normal mortal

11:57 am

Haz1558

But then you're more than just the average person, Vicuna.

11:57 am

Vicuna

For example, I should point out that TO found FM's floccinaucinihilipilification of MArtha Stewart offensive.

11:58 am

scribekd

And she obviously talks a lot!

11:58 am

Vicuna

Ah, indubitably.

11:58 am

Aloyisius

off to hang laundry.. bbl

Ah, so it's the Jacobite side of the family, FMitch?

12:00 pm

Vicuna

Mary Queen of Scots, I guess she was discussing.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

I'm worn out with clueing. I need someone to peel me a grape.

12:01 pm

Vicuna

And you're right, she probably didn't wash dishes... except possibly when she was in prison!

12:01 pm

Vicuna

Poor Haz. You had quite a workout.

12:01 pm

FMitch

Your couch is ready for you ma'am and the official grape peeler awaits you.

http://www.i-love-dogs.com/dog-br
eeds/images/Catahoula-Leopard-Dog.jpg

12:50 pm

Aloyisius

kishme if she is sweet with good breath

12:50 pm

12:51 pm

Scarlet

'Sfine wit me, Aloy!!

12:51 pm

Niamh

Scarlet, I just did a google image search for Catahoula... she's very blue/grey merle colored

12:51 pm

Niamh

kishme... that's cute

12:51 pm

Atalante

she's that exact colour?

12:52 pm

Scarlet

Okay... I will try again, Niamh... I have seen the Leopard Dogs before...

12:52 pm

Niamh

mostly Ata, she has less white

12:52 pm

Atalante

I'd call her Mist, but I'm not very into complicated names

12:53 pm

lmj643

dog name...Sinbad

12:53 pm

Niamh

that's pretty too... I could complicate it by spelling it wierd

12:53 pm

Uniquity

Kashmir puts me in mind of Led Zeppelin..unless that is your purpose

12:54 pm

lmj643

tern

12:54 pm

Atalante

or mistic / mystic

12:54 pm

lmj643

sorry, wrong box

12:54 pm

Niamh

it puts me in a Zeplin mood too... but it's actually a certain type of leopard... I googled it

12:55 pm

Uniquity

I think the phonetics of "come here kashmir" would be entertaining though :)

12:55 pm

Atalante

or Cloud! she has a cloud colour, and there's a clouded leopard

12:55 pm

Niamh

(sorry for spelling Zeppelin wrong)

12:55 pm

Aloyisius

has a nice sound to it.. nice to say.. and that is important as you will be calling the dog a lot.. come, Kashmir. Heel, Kashmir.. Down, Kashmir..

12:56 pm

Scarlet

Rock the Casbah!

12:56 pm

Aloyisius

oh no, i think my affliction is contagious...

12:57 pm

Scarlet

Niamh... I hadn't realized that the breed is descended from some of the original Native American breeds... LOL, Aloy~

12:57 pm

LuvB

help with od5 and the va6,30, please

12:58 pm

Scarlet

We're back to Zephyr... Besides, Aloy... that would be "cashmere"...

12:58 pm

Niamh

I didn't know that until recently either... I was doing research before suggesting puppies.

12:58 pm

Aloyisius

soft, warm, cuddly

12:59 pm

Scarlet

It's a fascinating background, Niamh... smart dogs! Maybe she'll tell what she wants to be called?

12:59 pm

Aloyisius

expensive

12:59 pm

aknitter

the R words are killing meeeeeeeeeee

12:59 pm

Aloyisius

i am stuck on the first ni

1:00 pm

Niamh

I've been asking her... she came to work with me today

1:00 pm

Aloyisius

ooh, i love that!

1:00 pm

Atalante

oooh thats nice

1:00 pm

Scarlet

Nice!!

1:01 pm

Scarlet

1:01 pm

Atalante

or nimbostratus

1:01 pm

Scarlet

...lous...

1:01 pm

Aloyisius

1:01 pm

aknitter

nimbus?

1:01 pm

Scarlet

Or, Storm

1:01 pm

Atalante

or mackerel clouds

1:01 pm

Aloyisius

1:02 pm

Atalante

1:02 pm

Aloyisius

1:02 pm

aknitter

be careful you don't give her any ideas . Name the doggie tornado - she might act like one

1:02 pm

Scarlet

Tsunami

1:02 pm

Scarlet

1:02 pm

Niamh

Storm is good, but would that reflect in her personality?? not sure THAT would be good!

1:03 pm

rururocks

me 5/16 the first one?

1:03 pm

Atalante

noooooo lol

1:03 pm

Scarlet

Maybe animals can manifest the antithesis of their names...

1:03 pm

Aloyisius

breeze is much gentler

1:03 pm

Scarlet

Kamikaze?

1:03 pm

Aloyisius

but sounds like a laundry detergent

1:04 pm

aknitter

how about zephyr

1:04 pm

FMitch

If you are thinking Cirrus - why not Sirus The Dog Star?

1:04 pm

Scarlet

Back to that one...

1:04 pm

Atalante

breeze *is* a laundry detergent over here

1:04 pm

Aloyisius

Aloyisius

FMitch, that is brilliant!

1:05 pm

Atalante

1:05 pm

Scarlet

Same here, Ata... by the way, how did you cake turn out?

1:05 pm

Scarlet

I LOVE sundogs!!

1:05 pm

Atalante

good! icing will be made when I can drag myself down to the kitchen, then I'll taste it

1:05 pm

Scarlet

Wonderful!

1:05 pm

Atalante

actually I think my next dog will have to be called Sundog

1:06 pm

FMitch

I love sun fish

1:06 pm

Niamh

but then she' be a country/pop dog... I'm more partial to Zeppelin

1:06 pm

Scarlet

Mine will be Xerxes

1:06 pm

Atalante

sunfish are cool too

1:07 pm

FMitch

Saw my 1st one at Monterey Bay

1:26 pm

periwinkle

I love real sushi

1:27 pm

Scarlet

We are having a nice day, peri... temperatures in the low 50s... I love a day like this...

1:27 pm

periwinkle

1:27 pm

Scarlet

I had no idea...

1:27 pm

Scarlet

Isn't she in Washington state?

1:28 pm

periwinkle

yes Scarlet, really bad flooding the NW part of US

1:28 pm

Scarlet

Oh! I just found that flower that was driving me mad... Yippee!

1:29 pm

Scarlet

I saw film on the noon news, peri... many states are being lambasted by bad weather... and water problems are some of the worst.

1:29 pm

Krista

Hi Ladies...I think Stid is fine. I know the power came back on and she didn't have to use the generator anymore. Think there was a lot of flooding near her, from what she said.

1:29 pm

Scarlet

Our city, on the other hand, is suffering a rash of arsons (eight fires) and four murders...

1:29 pm

Aloyisius

.. and I finally found re6.18, as in re**** the board to the dock after the storm pried it loose.. i saw the flooding also on TV.. ooh, ty for that report, Drista

1:30 pm

Krista

My daughter is like a kid in snow..just made the first snowman of the year.

1:30 pm

Aloyisius

krista, I mean..

1:30 pm

Krista

Good Lord, Scarlet. That's awful.

1:30 pm

Scarlet

Hi, Krista... and thank you for the update on Stid. Yahoo for Aloy! Well done!

1:30 pm

hawknoah

krista, are you being blasted with snow?

1:30 pm

hawknoah

we must have about 3 inches

1:30 pm

periwinkle

yikes, Scarlet

1:30 pm

Krista

Sure. And went to school with a girl named Drista!

1:31 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Aloy !!

1:31 pm

hawknoah

and still coming down steadily

1:31 pm

Aloyisius

better get that situation cleared up before I come to visit my hero Tom Wolfe's hometown

1:31 pm

debjed

help with the ex7,56?

1:31 pm

Krista

It's looking like three right now, Hawk, but still coming down. What's the school situation there? We had early dismissal.

1:31 pm

Scarlet

I always watch WGN noon news, and we see it at 1 p.m. They are getting hammered with snow, and the lake effect is supposed to pile more on them...

1:31 pm

hawknoah

2 hours early

1:31 pm

Aloyisius

if there were more Babble addicts, there would be less crime

1:32 pm

hawknoah

my daughter still had a fever this morning though so we didn't send her anyway

1:32 pm

periwinkle

deb- ex the vowel then word for skin

1:32 pm

Scarlet

1:32 pm

Scarlet

Oh, WGN is Chicago.

1:32 pm

periwinkle

*then vowel*

1:32 pm

periwinkle

1:33 pm

Krista

And they are calling for more Friday. We have a field trip planned for the geology lab in Frederick then! (we homeschool)

1:33 pm

Krista

I was just about to ask you how she is. Poor kid.

1:33 pm

hawknoah

more on friday? i thought it was about to go up to 50-60 degrees

1:33 pm

hawknoah

ugh

1:33 pm

hawknoah

its a half day Friday anyway

1:33 pm

Aloyisius

lol, Scarlet.. Aloy has to run.. phone

1:33 pm

hawknoah

she seems to be feeling fine but she was still over 100

1:34 pm

Scarlet

Aloy... odd that you should say that... one of the fires was set in the downtown.. near his home where his writing took an alcoholic turn..

1:34 pm

hawknoah

tomorrow school for sure unless they cancel it

1:34 pm

Krista

It just says rain and snow showers, no details yet (for Friday)

1:34 pm

periwinkle

NM found it

1:35 pm

hawknoah

for Frederick it says temps of 44/36 and just showers thank goodness

1:35 pm

Krista

True, our weather can be slightly different here "over the mountain." :)

1:36 pm

Krista

Do they have any suspects, Scarlet?

1:37 pm

hawknoah

oh the earth and space science lab? have you been before?

1:37 pm

Scarlet

Yes, a really sad-looking 17-year old girl... Mohawk haircut... Goth-y eye makeup... disenfranchised from society... sad.. but not the ony one, apparently, with matches in hand... there may be some copycat arsonists out there, Krista...

1:37 pm

hawknoah

hope the weather isn't too bad Friday, I think we were supposed to visit my parents in Rockville that evening

1:37 pm

Krista

Yes, but for the oceanography part, Hawk. It was wonderful!

1:37 pm

Scarlet

The Mohawk is all spiked and gelled... and multi-colored... black fingernail polish...so sad.

1:38 pm

Krista

That is scary, Scarlet. Not all kids who look like that are bad, though (former "punk" here).

1:39 pm

Krista

I don't think I'd look that out of place with the kids now, but back then I was LABELED. LOL!

1:39 pm

hawknoah

so you must be going in the evening? the planetarium thing behind lincoln elementary right?

1:40 pm

debjed

thanks peri, i had to work for awhile:)

1:40 pm

ChrissieDee

1:40 pm

periwinkle

yw deb

1:41 pm

eieios

can i get a clue for the de 7's?

1:41 pm

Krista

I think that's the school..downtown off Market, I think...we go during the day. It's a lab inside the school..it's geography and oceanography side by side. http://schools.fcps.org/essl/

1:41 pm

hawknoah

de 5/14 plus suffix

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

DE7/40 -- people victims of DE7 possession need an exorcism...

1:41 pm

ChrissieDee

de7's are satanic based

1:42 pm

eieios

thx, hawk. i was looking the wrong dir.

1:42 pm

hawknoah

i think we need to check that out, although i'm sure she'll be sent on a field trip there before long anyway

1:42 pm

Aloyisius

Dennis the Me**** and one who does the same

1:42 pm

Scarlet

Wow... thanks, Aloy!

1:42 pm

Krista

They have many live sea creatures there, that's the best part.

1:43 pm

Aloyisius

Now I must run.. having a garden dug up.. finally so I can get some veggies started.. guys are waiting for my OK on where to dig.. see you all next grid.. fun teasing you, Scarlet.. byee (-:

1:44 pm

periwinkle

1:44 pm

periwinkle

me5 please

1:45 pm

Scarlet

Not there yet, peri. the ma or me words...

1:45 pm

Krista

Why thanks, Ladies. Why not light it just with yourself, Peri?

1:46 pm

periwinkle

not the same, Krista, more fun when there are young kids around, will probably light one this weekend when family comes for Chanukah dinner

1:46 pm

Scarlet

Oh, Krista.. such a good idea... Peri.. you are worth a candle a night, for eight nights!! *Hugs*

1:46 pm

Krista

I never knew much about Advent until I looked it up on Advent Sunday (our icon theme). Made me want to start that tradition. But I like candles and fire (uh oh, Scarlet..maybe I do have some arson potential!!)

1:46 pm

periwinkle

thanks Scarlet but I would much rather have 8 presents :-)

1:46 pm

hawknoah

not a lady actually LOL. i suppose there's no way of knowing that since i haven't paid to put a profile on though :)

1:47 pm

hawknoah

the shadowy avatar looks vaguely male however

1:47 pm

Scarlet

LOL, peri... you are such a dickens!!

1:47 pm

Krista

Oh geeesh. Do you know how many times I have done that on here? So sorry, Hawk.

1:48 pm

periwinkle

:D

1:48 pm

hawknoah

no worries.. it seems men are outnumbered by a great deal here

1:48 pm

Scarlet

hawknoah... whatever you call yourself, you are welcome here... male, female, indeterminate...

1:48 pm

Krista

I actually thought you were male at first, but then the caretaking made me ASSUME you were female. Biases!

1:48 pm

hawknoah

LOL thank you. i feel welcome, no problem

1:48 pm

Scarlet

Six lashes with leftover Babble fish on Krista's head!!

1:49 pm

hawknoah

those are the breaks of working from home.. works out well really

1:49 pm

Krista

That's like Bubba...I still don't know his/her gender!

1:49 pm

hawknoah

sometimes it's hard to work when there's babbling to get done

1:49 pm

Scarlet

Many of our grid-searches also "work" through Babbling... you are not alone!

1:50 pm

Krista

You are a true Babbler, Hawk. That's the spirit!

1:50 pm

hawknoah

and to think a few years ago when i worked in an office, i had to hide my online word game addiction

1:50 pm

Scarlet

NOw you are "out" and PROUD, Hawk!! LOL

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

Greetings Babblers. I am awaiting the furnace guy---yearly maintenance check and new filter.

1:51 pm

hawknoah

LOL-- i don't miss the x-rated chitchat i often encountered on those yahoo games though

1:51 pm

periwinkle

Hi Scrabs

1:51 pm

Scarlet

HI, Scrabbler... is you weather nasty, too?

1:52 pm

flosey

back again - have been on phone all morning ! - so, should we call you Noah? Hawk?

1:52 pm

hawknoah

or people telling me things that would shock Oprah, while all I wanted to do was beat them at some online card or word game

1:52 pm

eieios

we are more g-rated types. =)

1:52 pm

Krista

My boss threatened to get rid of our internet service at work due to MySpace and Babble! They were so cool in every other way, but hated to see us goofing off online (and other form was tolerated).

1:52 pm

hawknoah

Noah is correct-- the mystery has been solved

1:52 pm

jillibus

hi flosey -- how are you doing?

1:52 pm

Krista

Hi Scrabbs!

1:53 pm

Krista

Hi Jilli! How are things there? Did your power ever go out?
