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.

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

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

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

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

i know they held out for price they wanted, so i'm sure they did well for there
1:59 am

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

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

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

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
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

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!

3:43 am
sprite

oh dc, I am so glad! If you see through your nose, not having your smell is so terrible.
3:43 am
FranMag

3:43 am

oh, LOL! Ok, that is a good sign as well.
3:44 am

a dutch tongue-breaker
3:47 am
dcseain

3:48 am

I think tongue-twister is better. We call them tongbrekers in Holland.

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

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

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

3:53 am

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

the language is Japanese and it's actually a Buddhist twister, if memory serves.
3:54 am

FMitch has a job??
3:55 am

FMitch is appointed The One to Blame for Everything here. By Haz, and we concurred. And we love FMitch for it.
3:55 am

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

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

hasta, sprite
3:56 am

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

HI JWR.

4:00 am

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

i have 2 cats and a rabbit, and my roomate has a dog.
4:09 am

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

I've never seen him wearing an Elizabethan collar. From that I deduce.....
5:03 am

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

that's a little harsh Haz !
5:05 am

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

I bet Hobbit would yield the secret if bribed enough.
5:06 am

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

'missing man' has been arrested
5:07 am

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

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."

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."

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

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

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.

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;

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..."

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

Haz1558

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

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

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

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

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

(No idea what you're talking about, of course, but if it involves cakes it's got to be good.)
9:01 am

Sure, as long as you don't suffer from claustrophobia.
9:02 am

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

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

Cool. I await it eagerly.

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.

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.

i am betting the sometimes vowel is in there.

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

I'd call her Mist, but I'm not very into complicated names
12:53 pm
lmj643

dog name...Sinbad
12:53 pm
Niamh

12:53 pm
Uniquity

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

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

1:31 pm

1:34 pm
hawknoah

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

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

1:48 pm
Scarlet

hawknoah... whatever you call yourself, you are welcome here... male, female, indeterminate...
1:48 pm

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

1:56 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, Scarlet--very wintry weather for a week or so now and it is snowing now. My driveway had to get plowed out Sunday and Monday.
1:56 pm
Scarlet

Flask, it is the EX7/56 of "outside" skin...
1:56 pm
jillibus

Jilli... it is such a painful thing to endure... If I may, I'd like to thank you for one of the very best video choices I've seen yet: the investment banker being interviewed... it was brilliant!
1:57 pm
flosey

Hi Scarlet
2:00 pm
Scarlet

No. Ata, it was last week, and just a brilliant skit...
2:00 pm
Scarlet

Why were you growling, pigeon?
2:01 pm
Atalante

oh, I missed that :(
2:01 pm
hawknoah

i'm rather sick of xmas music now since it started the week before thanksgiving this year, but I keep playing the "12 Pains of Christmas"- I love that one
2:01 pm
pigeonman

Cause I couldn't find that word. I had all the others before it. It built off those.
2:01 pm
Scarlet

This is not a good time to ask jilli where she found it, but it is definitely worth a re-look.
2:01 pm
Scarlet

Oh, okay, pigeon... as long as you aren't having a meltdown! :-)
2:01 pm
Krista

**HaNgOvErs!** (that was for Hawk)
2:02 pm
flosey

pigeonman

Nope Scarlet. I tend to keep my meltdowns private.
2:03 pm
hawknoah

(sings) gotta make 'em dinnah
2:03 pm
Krista

I wish they would play more of a variety. There are so many good Christmas CD's out there, but they play the same songs over and over, ad nauseum.
2:03 pm
Scarlet

Oh, flosey... the only one that touches my heart is a rich voice... a la Pavarotti, singing "Oh, Holy Night"... melts me away.
2:03 pm
Scarlet

Glad to hear it, pigeon!
2:04 pm
hawknoah

even better than Cartman singing Oh Holy Night?
2:04 pm
Krista

And don't forget Mr. Hankey.
2:05 pm
Krista

I bought my mother the Josh Groban Xmas CD. She is 75 and has a crush on him.
2:05 pm
Atalante

cartmans version is soooo good
2:06 pm
Scarlet

I heard his rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" the other night... very well done... new, fresh and so rich.
2:06 pm
Krista

I like his version of Styx' "Come Sail Away." Priceless.
2:06 pm
Scarlet

Not Cartman... Groban. LOL
2:06 pm
Atalante

lol
2:06 pm
Krista

I figured that out after a few seconds, Scarlet. LOL!
2:07 pm
Scarlet

:-)
2:07 pm
Krista

Come Sail Away...Cartman, not Grobam.
2:07 pm
Krista

Groban
2:07 pm
Scarlet

2:11 pm
hawknoah

2:12 pm
Krista

2:12 pm
Scarlet

Yea! Good, Krista.
2:13 pm
Krista

My husband is trying to kill me with caffeine..whoa...buzz buzz buzz
2:15 pm
Scarlet

Then you never really lighted that menorah at all did you, Krista...it's just catching your glow>
2:15 pm
Atalante

hawknoah

or killing you softly with his song..
2:15 pm
Atalante

2:15 pm
Krista

Just about, Scarlet! I think he adds one extra scoop each day...gets progressively stronger!
2:16 pm
Scarlet

I love to eat my coffee with a fork and ladle, Krista...
2:16 pm
Krista

He kindly brings it to me while I Babble. That's pretty cool (he works from home, too).
2:16 pm
flosey

back again - ah yes, I love Oh Holy Night - and many others as well, it's just that 12 day thing that gets tiresome
2:17 pm
Krista

Tee hee...I like mine strong, too, but whoa. Think I need a knife for this.
2:17 pm
Scarlet

I so totally agree, flosey... there are some others that make me run screaming for the earmuffs too... like Holly, Jolly Christmas...
2:17 pm
hawknoah

some hot chocolate sounds good actually, maybe i'll go shovel the snow and earn some
2:17 pm
eieios

2:18 pm
hawknoah

i bought some strawberry marshmellows from walmart the other day, so good
2:18 pm
Scarlet

I really like "We Need a Little Christmas" from Auntie Mame...
2:18 pm
flosey

that's about the way I like my coffee Krista - but has to be freshly brewed - only make what we'll drink immediately
2:18 pm
Scarlet

MY + ot4/5
2:18 pm
flosey

agree Scarlet, that's another overdone jingle
2:18 pm
Krista

That does sound good. Hmmm. Better wait for this to wear off first before i go for chocolate. That's a great idea (the strawberry marshmallows)! Must try it.
2:18 pm
hawknoah

actually i think i misspelled- i meant marshmAllows
2:19 pm
hawknoah

babblers are sticklers for spelling
2:19 pm
Scarlet

There's a relatively new one... from just a few years ago, called "Christmas in Dixie" that is a beautiful blend of voices... I am no country music fan, but this one is a winner.
2:20 pm
Atalante

well thats kinda essential for the game LOL
2:20 pm

2:21 pm
Krista

LOL, Ata. Good point.
2:21 pm
hawknoah

2:21 pm
bichon

2:21 pm
flosey

yes thanks Krista, the night we lost power I went to bed at 5:45 pm - slept like a log luntil 1: am, got up and babbled
2:22 pm
Scarlet

If those chestnuts get roasted one more year, I may go over the hill!!
2:22 pm
Krista

And that's one they play OVER and OVER, too, Hawk. It's so stupid.
2:22 pm
hawknoah

it seemed clever when i was in the 6th grade and kids kept singing it.. since then it lost its edge
2:22 pm
Scarlet

I don't have it yet, bichon!
2:22 pm
flosey

and we're high enough so no flooding problems - creek was very high, flooded lower garden but that happens in the spring too
2:22 pm
Krista

That sounds like an excellent way to weather the storm, Flosey!!
2:23 pm
Scarlet

You are fortunate, then, flosey. Thank goodness!
2:23 pm

2:25 pm
Atalante

I agree, Judi
2:26 pm
Krista

Oh, I didn't realize the island was that big. I must google it sometime. It sounds like a beautiful place to live, from what you ladies have said about it.
2:26 pm
Judi

I should hope you agree, Ata. After all, we do live parallel lives.

2:30 pm
Krista

Will be back with cookies and eggnog for Scarlet and Judi, wearing a jingle bell hat!
2:30 pm
Atalante

did it close for financial reasons then?
5:30 pm

i mean it's a funny word we had in the grid th'other day, and i said people who were an7 would be dead. although, my subsequent comment was fallacious. if P then Q does not necessitate if Q then P.

maybe -- but I always delegate phone calls to Tom. I have a phobia of telephones, so usually they will deal with him after I come on the phone and holler a bit.
6:43 pm
featherbee

lol, i like that plan stid. i don't ever holler, i just whimper and crumple. it worked with the hospital at least. "but i thought my insurance paid it all? whine whine" "ok, call your insurance and get back to us"
6:43 pm
Uniquity

This paying for the hospital thing is confusing to me
6:43 pm
featherbee

i do delegate to doug a ton though. i just think it has to be me on this one, sadly.

9:30 pm
Cathyar

i've never tasted a donair like the ones we have here....not even in Ontario
9:30 pm
hawknoah

donair is a gyro.. but instead of tzaziki sauce, it has a sweet vinegar white sauce on it
9:30 pm
hawknoah

there was briefly a KOD in kingston on a trip there in 96 i recall
9:31 pm
dcseain

huh. okay.
9:31 pm
hawknoah

not as good as the ones in halifax, but good all the same
9:31 pm
Cathyar

9:31 pm
dcseain

9:31 pm
hawknoah

king of donairs had em for $3 cdn for a giant one back in the day
9:31 pm
Cathyar

oooh...now i'm craving one and its far too late at night for that! LOL
9:32 pm
hawknoah

is it just beef or beef and lamb? i think the "cone" is about the same as you'd find for gyros but i do remember the meat tasting a bit better
9:32 pm
Cathyar

seain? garlic fingers? seriously...u don't have em in dc?
9:32 pm
dcseain

never heard of them, not in Montreal, nor Cleveland, nor Boston, nor Madrid, nor Barcelona, nor here.
9:33 pm
dcseain

lamb and goat were my faves back when i ate meat.
9:33 pm
Cathyar

made on pizza dough...garlic butter, lots of cheese and sometimes bacon and parsley or basil or oregano...dipped em in a yummy sauce
9:33 pm
hawknoah

cathy-- there is a place outside halifax famous for sandwiches with shredded boiled chicken on it. do you know what i'm talking about?
9:33 pm
hawknoah

they were so bland but it was legendary for some reason-- never figured it out
9:33 pm
Cathyar

hmmm...don't think so hawk...what's it called?
9:33 pm
hawknoah

and i can't remember the name of it
9:34 pm
dcseain

oh, garlic cheese bread, but from a pizza place. yeah, papa johns does those, but not under that name.
9:34 pm
hawknoah

something else great about NS---Keith's beer!
9:35 pm
Cathyar

we call em garlic fingers and the sauce that they often come with is like the sauce on donairs.
9:35 pm
Cathyar

dcseain...u come to NS someday and i'll buy ya one with my winnings tonight!!!! lol ;)
9:35 pm
hawknoah

9:40 pm
Cathyar

brb...cociajudy just invited me to find out what color i am on facebook
9:40 pm
dcseain

on night shift, w/traffic both ways. To work, i take West Ox Rd to 7100 S. Coming home, 95N to 495N to toll road W.
9:41 pm
dcseain

on day shift, it's against traffic both ways. I miss days. But like the night babble crew a lot. :)
9:41 pm

9:41 pm

9:42 pm
hawknoah

didn't feel like i accomplished much career wise sometimes though LOL
9:42 pm
dcseain

yeah, exactly, plus i've not much work to do.
9:43 pm
dcseain

tomorrow's ic4 theme is 'unusual sports'. Found a gildede curling broom and stone LOL
9:43 pm
hawknoah

i worked in testing-- it was always "keep up the good work"- no kudos when i did a great job and no one noticed if i did nothing. it wore thin after awhile
9:43 pm
dcseain

yeah, i can see where that would get tiresome
9:45 pm
hawknoah

unfortunately now i don't get paid for playing computer games!
9:46 pm

10:32 pm
dcseain

we have snow across the region, stid, including where i am S and W of DC
10:33 pm
Krista

We got 3+ inches..didn't hear the official count yet. I guess we got the same, Seain. Sometimes you get less in the city.
10:33 pm
Krista

Did you have an exciting commute, or do u take the metro?
10:33 pm
dcseain

krista, i live in Reston and work in Springfield.
10:34 pm

i drive, and the excitement happened near my home, on Soapstone Dr, crossing Snakeden Branch, i did a 180, going a whopping 25 MPH
10:34 pm

wow. that's a lot of snow for your area, isn't it?
10:34 pm

AH. I "assumed" you work in the city.

Not really, Stid. We get good snows here. Not much last year, and nothing like when I was a kid, but I chalk that up to global warming.

stidmama

but only once. that was a very rare winter
10:36 pm
dcseain

yeah i was shocked a couple years ago, when then-6-yr-old nephew didn't know basics about sledding. It snows much less than when i was young.
10:36 pm
Krista

So you're a Virginny girl! I didn't know that.
10:36 pm
stidmama

oh banana... fishtails are yucky, too. We have front-wheel drive cars, but even so sometimes they are not well controlled.
10:37 pm
stidmama

Nope. not really krista -- a "brat" moved a lot as a kid. in Virginia 7 years though, so I'm probably more that than anything but a Washingtonian (that's the real one, out west)
10:37 pm
Krista

I remember my older siblings making these huge tunnels through the yard that they could stand up in...seems crazy now.
10:37 pm

i've all-wheel drive, which i know does not guarantee safety, just 4 wheels to slip instead. :)

10:39 pm
dcseain

the black is nice
10:40 pm
Krista

Oh yes...now I see the people up there! Neat.
10:40 pm
stidmama

I don't think I minded too much -- but my brother didn't cope so well. And as an adult I positively refuse to move any more (now that I own the house) unless I go out feet first...
10:40 pm
stidmama

wow. BIG menorah!
10:41 pm
dcseain

i move more from 19-23 that i and my mother combined had in our lives to the point that i was 19.
10:41 pm
bananafour

i have a ford F150 4x4 but don't drive in 4 wheel drive unless absolutely neccesary (sp) so just drive slow around corners and full stops
10:41 pm
Krista

I have a stack of Hannukah cards to send..always get slow pokey about sending them out..not even sure if it's bad ettiquette (did I spell that right?) to send them out after the first day.
10:42 pm
stidmama

I think I have lived at about 25 different addresses, at the same one for 8 years now.
10:42 pm
Krista

same here! I didn't move until I was 23, then did it a zillion times in the next few years
10:42 pm
stidmama

I don't send out cards this time of year any more. The people who know me understand (I hope) -- I send out something in the early part of the new year.
10:42 pm
dcseain

as an adult, i spent 6 years at 1316 1/2 Maryland Ave NE in DC. Two years next-longest after that.
10:43 pm
dcseain

i hope to buy next year.
10:43 pm
Krista

Will you buy in NoVa?
10:43 pm
stidmama

4-wheel drives are so inefficient, but really great to have in slick conditions as long as you don't go too fast. Too many city-slickers around here forget that 4WD doesn't stop any better even if it can get you going faster...
10:43 pm
dcseain

mine as AWD, so it kicks in automatically as the computer sees fit. It was on most of the way to work, and it kicked in during the skid.
10:44 pm
Krista

I have tried that, Stid, but never actually do it! (sending New Year's cards) Good for you for actually doing it.
10:44 pm
stidmama

it's expensive to buy anywhere within 100 miles of DC though, isn't it?
10:44 pm
dcseain

yes Krista
, my goal is Falls Church, Arlington, or Mclean.
10:44 pm
bananafour

it's amazing how many 4wd I see in the ditch at the side of the highway on my way to work in the winter after it snows or we have high winds that glaze the roads with snow....not compacts or sedans....almost all 4wds
10:45 pm
dcseain

eh, i'll be looking in the 425-475 range, which is about average for the region.
10:45 pm
Krista

It's ridiculous. We are considered a DC/Baltimore "bedroom community," and we're 70 miles from both.
10:45 pm
stidmama

*faints again* -small voice- that's a LOT of money!
10:45 pm
dcseain

yep, cause they think they're invulnerable, banana, which we are so not.
10:45 pm
dcseain

Hagerstown?
10:45 pm
Krista

I love snow, but avoid driving in it....That sounded cheap to me, Stid!
10:45 pm
Krista

Yes, Hagersbush
10:46 pm
dcseain

oh, that's a long way from most expensive here, stid.

i used to commute to Tysons, i miss that. Easier than Springfield.
10:47 pm
stidmama

there are people who live in our area and "commute" to Seattle daily -- that's a little over 60 miles, and it's insane.
10:47 pm
dcseain

We're moving to Herndon early next year.
10:47 pm
stidmama

I can't imagine trying to keep up a schedule like they have!
10:48 pm
Krista

My house is so quiet. I am rarely at the computer when everyone else is in bed. I am usually watching "guilty pleasure" TV shows!
10:48 pm
dcseain

stid, i travelled 12 miles to HS, up 95 to 395. I currently go 25 miles from wk to home.
10:49 pm
Krista

It's no way to live, that's for sure. I wondered how far you are from Seattle. Now I know.
10:49 pm
stidmama

I drive the same distance (25 miles) the days I help my mother in her classroom... but I am going at a time the regular office workers are still drinking coffee at home!
10:49 pm
Krista

Did you go to school in Springfield?
10:49 pm
dcseain

when i worked in Alexandria, there was a guy who lived in Louisa, because his wife worked in Richmond.
10:50 pm
dcseain

no, HS is in Alexandria, braddock at 236. I grew up in Dale City.
10:50 pm
stidmama

Out here, 20 miles, even 30 isn't a really long distance (we consider Portland (100+) an easy day trip.... but the Seattle and Tacoma traffic is horrible. especially at commute times
10:50 pm
dcseain

I've yet to visit a city that compares to here traffic-wise. Even Atlanta is nothing to here.
10:51 pm
stidmama

need any more clues Saddy?
10:51 pm
Krista

I can imagine that Seattle's growth has outpaced the infrastructure! Same has happened in this area, even Hagerstown. We have a rush hour here now. :)
10:51 pm
stidmama

we are listening to the Celtic Woman Christmas concert on PBS... those women have such lovely voices!
10:52 pm
dcseain

ugh, yeah the traffic is so much worse than even 10 years ago.
10:52 pm
Krista

Ugh, the beltway and I-270 at rush hour - brutal.
10:52 pm
dcseain

how lovely, stid!

We both typed "ugh" at the same time, Seain. :)
10:53 pm
dcseain

my clue hinted at it, saddy
10:53 pm
stidmama

LOL good for you! that was a toughie for me, but I can't think of a better way to clue it...'
10:53 pm
dcseain

'ugh' is about the only reasonable response to traffic here.
10:54 pm
vanessa8

does anyone have a clue for la6/27?
10:54 pm
Krista

Yep, UGH sums it up pretty well! I'm going to go play my Scrabulous games and shove off to bed. Nice chatting with you folks!
10:54 pm
stidmama

I don't do traffic. Not unless I have to... I am too old for trying to stay out of the way of the logging trucks, massive tricked-out trucks (city people), crazy pimp mobiles, Hummers (city people again)...
10:54 pm
dcseain

not clergy people, but la6/27
10:55 pm

good luck with scrabulous Krista, I can't seem to get into some of mine tonight!

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

logging trucks cause the 'traffic' where my dad's family lives, when going uphill
10:56 pm

Yes, I had given up earlier. Maybe the site is faster now. Thanks guys! *poof*
10:56 pm

10:58 pm

of course, this week there are fewer trucks on the road... the main road from the ocean is still partly blocked in places, and so is I-5.
10:59 pm
SaddySolar

thanks
10:59 pm
dcseain

blocked by what?
10:59 pm
stidmama

there was a truck as I was coming home today that looked like it had taken the corner too fast and landed on its side in the place between north and south-bound 101... it was upright, but really muddy on one side
10:59 pm
stidmama

blocked by floodwaters, seain...
11:00 pm
stidmama

the highway 101/8 west and 101 north are also blocked by mudslides
11:00 pm
dcseain

oh! hadn't realized it was that bad, despite what others said last night.
11:01 pm
stidmama

oh yes, to the south of us they have been airlifting people from their homes. the water rose so fast from the rivers.
11:01 pm
LadyNatts

I think that's it for me
11:02 pm
stidmama

and parts of I5 are undercut so it will be a long time before traffic flows "normally" between Seattle and Portland... my Tom works for the Dept of transportation and heard the news today.
11:02 pm

11:04 pm

somehow, main road where i grew up got undercut once. Truck detour was through our neighbourhood, as the temp bridge barely supported the car traffic.
11:04 pm
dcseain

i may brave the ice/snow for ice cream.
11:04 pm

do you ever grate carrots in your latkes? We like those for color (and they're a bit sweet and crunchy too)

The baking powder keeps them light. i made the mistake of cooking them in olive oil once - it got smoky. Thus the peanut oil - it has the highest smoking point - as does grapeseed.

just, it' usually fireworks because they show up when you finish, but someone (helenkeller?) hit the d instead of the k a while ago, hence forewords, which seems appropriate
