1:24 am

mrpresident

fran, she is an 'intelligent' girl, but has no self-esteem.... zero. she got pregnant to her boyfriend to try and get him to stay with her.... he dumped her when she was 3 months pregnant, abused her emotionally, threatened her legally, even cheated on her with some slut at work. He brought his girlfriend to the birth, caused a major riot at the hospital, now they are in 'couple's counselling' and 'together'.... and my inlaws expect us to accept it and be 'nice'

1:25 am

FranMag

so frustrating mrp, that's gotta be hard for you guys to see.

1:25 am

mrpresident

i want nothing to do with it... it is disgusting the way he treated her and this is just sick ... their relationship is very sick.

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry to hear mrp; makes my heart hurt for her and for you and lickety; must be really tough to deal with

1:25 am

loredana

well lickety you didnt need any!!!!! look at your wonderful wife

1:29 am

dcseain

yes, a friend of mine was in an abusive relationship. Two of us called her and made her go shopping and what with use. Two years it took to get her to leave, but it did happen. Easier thing there was no pregnancy.

1:29 am

mrpresident

lore, what that woman has been doing all her life is incredible to me.... she has made her life such a misery, not just for herself but those around her too.
She refuses to learn

1:29 am

dcseain

this one's tough, stid

1:29 am

stidmama

okay seain, thanks. I'll get as many as I can and then go to sleep...

1:31 am

stidmama

it is sad when any person thinks that bringing a new life into the world is a way to save a bad relationship. So many children grow up in bad situations as a result...

1:31 am

stidmama

whee! got the V!

1:31 am

mrpresident

stid, it is revolting to me... she had the child cause she wanted him back, or to take him to the cleaners financially

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

our daughter has an educated friend; bright, cute, sweet, great job... got pregnant and married a guy who was abusive to her while they were dating in college... like having a baby and getting pg is going to help the abuse... still makes me soooo angry

1:32 am

stidmama

gray bottom! *innocent look*

1:32 am

bonniebass

chic

thanx, fran

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

I honestly do not understand it. Being alone is far better than that. I do have a soap box; worked with an abused women shelter years ago, so it still angers me to see women think they cannot survive on their own.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

I have a close friend who was considered attractive, bright, able and with a capable, good looking husband...her older sister was seen as seen as less fortunate in many ways and was therefore much favored by the parents - even in the will where she got the lions share. I can see the same pattern with Lickety being the 'fortunate' one and his sister really playing up the hard-done-by angle

Tick!

2:29 am

Angelsong

hi, all. I am so pleased. We completed a small project quite successfully yesterday. Our front door has an oval shaped glass in the center of it, and we found an inexpensive and attractive way to cover it for privacy. We bought a magnetic cafe curtain rod and a fabric shower curtain. We hung the curtain rod at the top of the door, slid the curtain onto the rod, accordion fashion...and voila! Cost was less than $30 US.

2:29 am

lynxxx

The Tick is great!

2:29 am

sprite

grrrr I want a double P there. Keep seeing app phantoms.

2:30 am

hi angel

2:31 am

i didn't even notice sprite; i don't really process words that way.

2:31 am

dcseain

i'm not very clever linguistically.

2:31 am

Angelsong

no sewing required, and no cutting, either. it was great!

2:32 am

sprite

interesting, isn't it, dc? It is the way I process every word. Brains can work in such different ways to achieve the same end goals.

2:32 am

lynxxx

thats the understatement of the century DC!

3:33 am

Morning all.

3:33 am

dcseain

morning, mon

3:33 am

dcseain

moon

3:34 am

dcseain

i've been reading about shipwreks in wikipedia

3:34 am

dcseain

just finished article on teh andrea doria, & had moved onto the edmund fitzgerald

3:34 am

moonwoof

Did you see they think they found Blackbeard?

3:35 am

dcseain

no, i didn't

3:35 am

moonwoof

Huh. what's wikipedia say about fitzgerald? I'll have to go look.

3:35 am

moonwoof

Maybe it was redbeard. Hold on.

3:35 am

moonwoof

All those beards =P

3:40 am

moonwoof

Well crap. I'm so bad at names I had that totally screwed up.

3:40 am

moonwoof

Damn fair, anyway.

3:40 am

moonwoof

It was William Kidds ship

3:40 am

dcseain

:)

3:41 am

dcseain

oh, cool

3:41 am

moonwoof

Off the dominican republic in only like 10 feet of water.

3:41 am

dcseain

badly decomposed, or a very small ship?

3:42 am

moonwoof

And it was almost completely untouched. How cool is that?

3:42 am

dcseain

very!

3:42 am

moonwoof

Slightly shatterd. It was scuttled they think.

3:43 am

dcseain

neat

3:43 am

moonwoof

It's currently on associated press, if you want to go look. I'm still not good at this net thing, so I don't knw how to get you the url...

3:44 am

moonwoof

DOOD!

3:44 am

moonwoof

That's My Tick. {{GRRR}}

3:45 am

moonwoof

Ok. Well fine. I Guess he's big enuf to share.

3:45 am

dcseain

i'll google it

3:46 am

moonwoof

First you tell me where to find the theme and then you take my Tick... How embarrassing.

3:46 am

moonwoof

Maybe I should go get American Maid.

3:46 am

dcseain

American Maid is da bomb!

3:47 am

moonwoof

I so love the Tick. I liked the comic book better than the cartton, tho.

3:47 am

moonwoof

uh, cartoon

3:47 am

dcseain

the cartoon was alright, though the books are better, i agree

3:48 am

moonwoof

In honor of todays theme I'm wearing my ninja hedge Tshirt

3:48 am

dcseain

:) i, OTOH, am wearing a brown-striped button-down

3:49 am

moonwoof

Well, I guess I gotcha there, then. That's Much less cool than a Ninja hedge.

3:50 am

moonwoof

Move along, nothing to see here.

3:50 am

dcseain

it pleases me when the icons in the chat have color-coordination

3:51 am

moonwoof

LOL

3:51 am

moonwoof

Especially blue. It's very calming.

3:51 am

moonwoof

I don't recognize yours. Which comic is that one from? Or is that from the cartoon?

3:52 am

dcseain

fan art

3:53 am

dcseain

it looked fun, even though the blue was too dark

3:53 am

moonwoof

Ah. Cool. Well, the dark thing is relative. There were some Ticks that were darker. I think I have one hold on.

3:54 am

moonwoof

like this one.

3:55 am

dcseain

ah, sure 'nough. i'd forgotten.

3:55 am

moonwoof

What can I say. I'm a complete Geek.

3:56 am

dcseain

we all are, in some area or another :)

3:56 am

moonwoof

I Was a little torn... It could have been Hong Kong Phooey, Underdog, or Earthworm Jim... i just like the Tick Better.

3:57 am

moonwoof

I just noticed a complete lack of humans in that list lol

3:57 am

dcseain

honk kong phooey - ain't thought of him in decades.

3:57 am

dcseain

yes, this is the quiet time in the chat, usually from about 03:30-06:30 Eastern

3:58 am

moonwoof

I'm a product of a depraved childhood. Where I still dwell almost constantly.

3:58 am

moonwoof

If you'd like I could "shut up" and babble some =P

3:59 am

dcseain

as pleases you. i'm at work and have nothing better to do, and i'm done with the grid. so if you want to babble, i'm here for clues :)

3:59 am

moonwoof

But you got me going with the 2 topics. I'm (obviously) a tick nut and I scuba when I can. Shipwrecks are like fantasy worlds.

4:00 am

moonwoof

Well. I guess I could think of worse jobs =)

4:00 am

carra

flip :) lol Hi everyone

4:00 am

moonwoof

Morning carra

4:00 am

dcseain

morning, carra

4:00 am

carra

morning moon & dc

4:01 am

dcseain

hee! i forget how i ended up at the andrea dorea, but you can see where that would go to the edmund fitzgrald.

4:01 am

moonwoof

I dont think I'm ready for clues, yet, ty for the offer tho.

4:02 am

dcseain

yeah, figured you'd ask if desired :)

4:02 am

moonwoof

yes, I can. But again, there's the geek thing. Is there a related topic section on Wikipedia?

4:04 am

dcseain

related to what? i'm confused, which is nothing out of the ordinary

4:05 am

moonwoof

well, shipwrecks, for instance. If you go on there to look up shipwrecks will it take you from one to another?

4:05 am

dcseain

Shipwreck lists many, but there is no single list or linked topics

4:06 am

moonwoof

ty. was curious

4:06 am

dcseain

ah, that topic deals only with what was left. let me check maritime disasters

4:06 am

dcseain

List of accidents and disasters by death toll

4:07 am

dcseain

has full listings by topic, including maritime

4:07 am

moonwoof

I'll bet that lists fewer, tho.. most people aren't good at larger words...

4:07 am

moonwoof

That's cool, for an encyclopedia.

4:07 am

dcseain

the list in that topic is only trade, wartime shipping is listede separately.

4:08 am

moonwoof

I think I would try ocean disasters or something.

4:08 am

dcseain

ah but the Great Lakes account for a good number of sunken ships

4:08 am

dcseain

as historically would lakes Baikal and Ural

4:09 am

moonwoof

Yes, they do. =) That's where I started with the scuba thing. My grandfather was Navy man and a merchant mariner.

4:09 am

dcseain

cool :)

4:09 am

moonwoof

There are more shipwrecks in the great lakes on a square mile basis than any other single spot of water in the world.

dcseain

oh, neat!

4:10 am

moonwoof

You wouldn't think that being able to see land would make for shipwrecks, but apprently it did greatly for a while.

4:10 am

dcseain

dishabille /dis-uh-BEEL/, noun:

1. The state of being carelessly or partially dressed.
2. Casual or lounging attire.
3. An intentionally careless or casual manner.

4:11 am

dcseain

well, from Erie, you don't see land in the middle, i'd imagine that's so in Superior, too, in parts.

4:11 am

moonwoof

Again. A word most people wouldn't know. Much less use.

4:11 am

moonwoof

It is. But you could still swim that far, easily.

4:11 am

dcseain

yes, but words like that pop into the grid not infrequently.

4:11 am

moonwoof

Especially if Need was involved.

4:12 am

dcseain

very true, as long as hypothermia didn't set in.

4:12 am

dcseain

true that

4:12 am

moonwoof

zooglea - n. jellylike mass of bacteria

4:13 am

dcseain

yes, that's been in the grid.

4:13 am

dcseain

zooplankton have too.

4:13 am

moonwoof

Seriously? That's one of my most favorite words, ever.

4:13 am

moonwoof

It so fun to throw out when insulting people =)

4:14 am

dcseain

LOL yeah, i can see that :D

4:14 am

moonwoof

That and gorilla penis wrinkle...

4:15 am

moonwoof

Do you dive, at all, seain?

4:15 am

dcseain

never have, though i'm not disinterested.

4:16 am

moonwoof

If you like shipwrecks there's no better way to see one =)

4:16 am

dcseain

my mother's father's brother did, as did their father, in lake erie, for building and maintaining the plumbing intake for Cuyahoga County, OH.

4:16 am

dcseain

yeah, i've thought about that

4:17 am

carra

ooh diving..scary

4:17 am

mrpresident

ah, you 'girls' are having such a lovely chat... seems a shame to interupt ;))

4:17 am

moonwoof

That's cool Not many people know you can work down there. I laid bridge foundations.

4:17 am

carra

hi mrp

4:17 am

moonwoof

Feel free, tho, MrP Always nice to have company, even if it ruins the color scheme =)

4:18 am

mrpresident

oh man... i knew I should have worn pink

4:18 am

dcseain

my mother's father's mother's parents honeymooned in a hut on lake erie, atop the water intake in its first winter, to make sure it didn't freeze. I read about it, and saw pictures in the Cleveland Plain Dealer about 20 years ago.

4:18 am

moonwoof

4:19 am

moonwoof

That doesn't sound like much of a honeymoon, except for the snuggling to keep wamr part =P

4:20 am

dcseain

well, in the 1890s, that was what most had to do, even in the city :)

4:20 am

moonwoof

My uncle got me into it. He used to dive. the job I got all on my own after going to school for architecture...

4:20 am

moonwoof

I suppose. but still...

4:21 am

moonwoof

Honeymoon in a hut that's not on a tropical beach. {blech}

4:21 am

mrpresident

honeymoon in a hut on a tropical beach...

4:21 am

moonwoof

And it wasn't actually scary most of the time, carra. I only had one moment of well trepidation, and only after I thought about it.

4:22 am

mrpresident

i honeymooned in a 5 star hut on a beach on a tropical island....

4:23 am

moonwoof

See? That's a much better idea. 5 star huts have toilets.

4:23 am

mrpresident

in indonesia... beautiful place... toilet, spa, room service. lots of rats and geckos too

4:23 am

moonwoof

I'm hoping for Hawaii, myself.

4:24 am

carra

i went snorkeling and hyperventilated lol

4:24 am

dcseain

unlike NY state highways up into the early 1990s, which rest areas on non-toll bits back then was a pair of mounds, one with a sign for men, the other for women.

4:24 am

mrpresident

fluffy towels, hairdryer... couldn't want more really!

4:24 am

moonwoof

Ok. Not sure my honeymoon should include rats, but the rest sounds lovely.

4:24 am

carra

fiji looks nice :)

4:25 am

mrpresident

i just booked our cruise holiday... 5 countries, 14 days and nights

4:25 am

moonwoof

It's hard to hyperventilate on an air tank, carra.

4:25 am

dcseain

sounds lovely, mrp

4:25 am

dcseain

i have friends who are living in Bali for a few years.

4:25 am

moonwoof

That sounds like it'll be hard to see much... How many day trips, mrp?

4:25 am

mrpresident

Bali is a dangerous place though

4:26 am

carra

the thing that scares me is sharks.. which is why i freaked when snorkeling

4:26 am

moonwoof

ANY place can be dangerous.

4:26 am

mrpresident

carra, go to fiji, only reef sharks there... they have smiles on their faces and are small and friendly

4:26 am

moonwoof

Well, carra. There ar might help.ent Any sharks in Minnesota. That

4:26 am

moonwoof

whoa

4:26 am

dcseain

yeah. we had 15 people killed by snipers here a few years back.

4:27 am

moonwoof

I hate laptop mouse pads.

4:27 am

mrpresident

I don't think any place is dangerous

4:27 am

moonwoof

except bali?

4:27 am

mrpresident

I think bali is a dangerous place

4:27 am

moonwoof

That should have said "we don't have sharks in Minnesota"...

4:28 am

dcseain

why is that, mrp?

4:29 am

mrpresident

there are suicide bombers there... it is terribly sad what has happened there. many killings

4:29 am

moonwoof

Huge gi-normous catfish, but no sharks of any sort.

4:29 am

mrpresident

and they target the tourist areas.... that is just evil

4:30 am

carra

is it bad i still havent done any x-mas shopping lol

4:30 am

moonwoof

Well, I'll just say bombing is illegal. But why bomb tourists in Bali?

4:30 am

dcseain

fair enough.

4:30 am

moonwoof

illegal = evil

4:30 am

mrpresident

who knows why they do it. many many australians have lost their lives to the bombings

4:30 am

moonwoof

Gawd. I must need more caffine

4:31 am

moonwoof

Well, usually, doesnt someone announce "why"? So it, hypotheically, might stop... whatever?

4:34 am

dcseain

acually, such things often don't come with a clear why, moon. I remember my relief as i sat delayed for 6 hours in the airport in Palma de Mallorca, having learned that the TWA office next te the restaurant i dined in all the time and across the street from the house had been blown up. ETA in that case, but anymore, often not so clear-cut.

4:35 am

mrpresident

wow dcs! it is a close call

4:35 am

moonwoof

well, obviously, I dont watch "news" much... but that still seems weird. How can you get anyone to stop doing something if you dont explain Why they shouldnt do it?

4:36 am

moonwoof

You may not agree to stop whatever even if there's a reason, but there's No chance it will stop if noone knows why they should...

4:36 am

dcseain

well, with the suicide bomber types, you have a good deal of...zealotous conditioning that's not easily overcome by reason.

4:36 am

mrpresident

there is no reasoning

4:37 am

dcseain

that would require more active 'deprogramming' to overcome.

4:37 am

moonwoof

That doesn't mean there shouldn't be.

4:37 am

dcseain

which requires that the individuals be connected to a larger society, which usually they are not.

4:37 am

dcseain

fair enough, moon, as such will get trough to some.

4:38 am

pinkhatlil

morning all!!

4:38 am

mrpresident

they are in sects.... very extreme sects

4:38 am

mrpresident

hi pink!

4:38 am

dcseain

morning, pink :)

4:38 am

dcseain

indeed so, mrp

4:38 am

moonwoof

morning lil

4:39 am

moonwoof

Sure. but even extreme sects usually have demands... I just guess I'm not going to get it.

4:39 am

mrpresident

moon, do you think they are reasonable people??

4:40 am

mrpresident

they don't have demands... they have an extremist point to make... nothing less.

4:40 am

dcseain

those sects goals, as far as my understanding goes, requires the obliteration, decimation and/or subjugation of all who do not follow the way of their brand of Islam.

4:40 am

moonwoof

No. But that doesnt mean they don't have demands. In fact it probably means they have even more demands. But they can't Ever be met if they don't tell Someone what they are.

4:41 am

dcseain

well, westboro babtist chuch is at least as vaque and illogical as an islamic sect.

4:41 am

moonwoof

Which I've heard, before. But they've always Said so, to the best of my knowledge, before now... I've been out of the "loop" for a while, like I mentioned...

4:42 am

mrpresident

they don't have demands... they have a mission.... destruction and degradation

4:42 am

dcseain

though they have stated goals, they shift, and explanations from them are often evasive, or non-answsers at best.

4:42 am

moonwoof

Most baptists are. Have you seen their Hats?

4:43 am

dcseain

Baptists are hands-down largest denomination around here, so yes i've seen hats :)

4:43 am

moonwoof

THOSE are insane things. They make Lady Marmalade look subtle.

4:44 am

Haz1558

But they haven't blown up anybody with them. Subtle, though vital difference.

4:44 am

dcseain

indeed so, haz. and the Baptists do make a joyful noise unto the lord :)

4:45 am

moonwoof

AhHA! Only so far as you know, Haz. Those bombers in Bali Could be Baptists. Apparently noone Knows who they are!

4:45 am

dcseain

actually, we do know they are Islamic, likley some stripe of shia.

4:45 am

mrpresident

I am not noone... and they are extremists

4:46 am

moonwoof

Ok. Well, noone mentioned that when I asked. But maybe they Are Shiite Baptists =P

4:46 am

mrpresident

I mentioned that a couple of times actually

4:49 am

moonwoof

I believe that anyone who resorts to bombing anything to "make a point" is extreme. But I just looked back. And the only thing anyone mentioned was "sect" and "extremists". There are many kinds of both. Noone mentioned Islam or Shia until the last few posts.

4:50 am

moonwoof

For all I knew they could have been Irish.

4:50 am

moonwoof

or some band of tribal Balinese.

4:50 am

dcseain

islamic terrorists have been a major problem for some years across the south pacific, including in the Phillipines, Indonesia, and more than a few tourist nightglubs in Bali, among other locations.

4:51 am

mrpresident

well moon, I apologise for not being more encycolpedic... they are actually Jemaah Islamiyah.... extremely extremists

4:52 am

moonwoof

It's ok, mrp. I just really had no idea, and no clairification came that I saw until later. Thank you adding that. Now I can look it up.

4:53 am

moonwoof

I also had no idea islamic terrorists bombed anyone but the US. Nothing personal, but I Really dont watch the news, and have only been online a couple of weeks, now.

4:53 am

dcseain

Madrid and London last summer, commuter trains in both cases.

4:54 am

brendiboo

i am halfway now 54 down and 54 to go woo hoo!

4:54 am

mrpresident

that is ok moon. it has been a major issue with our country and is terrifying our neighbours

4:54 am

moonwoof

I've really only heard what they shove down everyone's throat here. And half of that is prolly crap. I prefer to experience things personally.

4:54 am

moonwoof

Congrats Brendi'

4:55 am

FMitch

Good morning all, er, Happy Saturday?!

4:55 am

moonwoof

Well, I can believe that. Irrational bombing is terrifying. And all kinds of other things.

4:56 am

mrpresident

4:56 am

Haz1558

That depends, FMitch....

4:56 am

4:57 am

FMitch

Lovely to see you Haz and hello MrP :)

4:57 am

mrpresident

well, you have a wonderful day! look forward to seeing you again haz :)

4:57 am

mrpresident

and haz, we sold our house!

4:57 am

moonwoof

Well then. My first internet "debate" under my belt I feel better. Thank you both for not being idiots. I hope I haven't encouraged anyone else to bomb me.

4:57 am

Haz1558

Grocery shopping always gets my pulse racing but for entirely the wrong reasons.

4:58 am

Haz1558

I know, mrpresident, I've followed the chat sometimes, not joining in so much.

4:58 am

mrpresident

I cried and cried! I love my house and just am so upset to have to move out!

4:58 am

FMitch

Thats why I popped in Haz, at least could say hello before you poofed, thought I might have missed you already as you seemed to have switched over to silent running

4:59 am

dcseain

i love grocery shopping :)

4:59 am

Haz1558

Ah well, off I go to do battle with car parks and cashiers. And if a traffic warden shows up......

4:59 am

dcseain

4:59 am

moonwoof

Good day haz.

4:59 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:59 am

5:00 am

FMitch

Hi dc too :)

Haz see you anon maybe catch up on the phone onver the weekend.

5:00 am

mrpresident

bye haz :))

5:00 am

dcseain

i've finally figured out what to get my sister, her hubby, and kids. now just Mom left. so little she really needs material-wise.

5:01 am

FMitch

Same here dc, my mum is so hard to shop for.

5:01 am

mrpresident

we did a wonderful shop today... got all the presents for all the family. It is wonderful that the kids are so independant now... they can go and chose presents for the grandparents and cousins. such a relief

5:02 am

moonwoof

but there something to be said for having fun. I got my parents tickets to a play. They don't go out nearly enuf.

5:02 am

mrpresident

I gave Maddison and Luke $50 each for their presents for eachother... they did an amazing job! such wonderful gifts! they each bought 4 or 5 presents with the money and very nice things too! smart cookies

5:03 am

moonwoof

I can imagine, mrp. I was a terror as a kid. But if it's any consolation karma sucks.

5:03 am

mrpresident

I got lickety the usual daddy presents.... t'shirts, socks, robe and hanky.... oh, and a lounge suite

5:03 am

dcseain

my mom goes out IFF i go and get her and take her out. i manage to do that once or twice a year. I have goal of getting her to Cleveland to visit her family in January.

5:04 am

dcseain

nice, mrp
!

5:04 am

mrpresident

moon, my kids are amazing to eachother! I have no idea why, but they are very very caring and loving and give eachother lovely things, just to please the other

5:04 am

moonwoof

Ok, maybe you could get her an escort for a night out =)

5:05 am

mrpresident

and... I am getting a pandora bracelet!! with 13 charms!

5:05 am

dcseain

LOL highly unlikely moon

5:05 am

moonwoof

Oh, actually, I was mostly o to my brothers, too. I meant to my parents heartrates =)

5:05 am

moonwoof

o=ok

5:05 am

moonwoof

Well it was worth a shot, dc =P

5:06 am

mrpresident

my children are convinced they are twins

5:06 am

moonwoof

Doesn't it kinda take away a little to know what you're getting for xmas?

5:06 am

dcseain

oddly, not to me at this point in life. my family often discusses such well in advance.

5:06 am

mrpresident

moon, I am alive for xmas, it takes away nothing!

5:07 am

FMitch

Wow MrP sounds lovely (not heard of a pandora bracelet) have you guys robbed a bank and I've missed the headlines?

5:07 am

moonwoof

I never had that problem. I dont really look like anyone in my family. My Grandma called me the "postman's kid".

5:08 am

moonwoof

suppose you have a point there, Mrp. Being on the right side of the dirt is a much more attractive place to be.

5:08 am

mrpresident

LOL fmitch! no no no! we sold the house so we are being alittle bit extravagant! you must go visit this site
mypandora.com.au

5:08 am

mrpresident

I have built my bracelet on the site and then bought the items over the last 6 months. I am smitten with it! Will get the necklace next year

5:08 am

FMitch

Naughty lady! but enjoy. Will bookmark site for later perusal.

5:10 am

mrpresident

moon, I am considered to be very 'important' in my family... I get spoilt so much! it is embarassing! I don't take anything away from my family, they are very giving... so it is lovely to be on the receiving end of their generousity

5:10 am

moonwoof

We discuss what we're getting each other, but in true MN fashion, we do it behind each others backs. That way there's still some surprise.

5:11 am

moonwoof

Of course you're important tot your family. If you weren't you should get a new one!

5:12 am

moonwoof

And it is lovely to share. I enjoy it, as well. My family just makes such a big deal about the "surprise" that it just seems wierd to me to discuss presents.

5:13 am

moonwoof

well, not with you guys... just discussing what you're getting each other while you're getting it.

5:14 am

mrpresident

oh, there are elements of surprise... we certainly give eachother little surprise gifts :))

5:15 am

moonwoof

That's nice. I think the surprise is one of my favorite parts.

5:16 am

moonwoof

I think it's also interesting to see what people will think I'll like without asking me =)

5:31 am

phandmd

i figure ice-wise, can't be worse than it was in February :)

5:32 am

montreal13

5:32 am

5:34 am

montreal13

we were among the "lucky" ones - missed power 16 hours all told - for some it was 5 weeks...

5:34 am

5:35 am

dcseain

yay, mrp! when are you travelling?

5:35 am

mrpresident

5:35 am

mrpresident

5:36 am

montreal13

unbelievable sights ! power pylons (and lines) down all over the place like mere chess pieces...

5:36 am

5:37 am

we ended serving as a "shelter" for about 16 members of our extended family - we had a huge house then ...

5:38 am

phandmd

indeed it does

5:38 am

dcseain

and more bodies meant more warmth to go around :)

5:39 am

montreal13

true DC and warmth was at a premium those days...

5:39 am

mrpresident

it is an amazing trip! and it is very very reasonable... we get breakfast, lunch and 4 course dinner everyday in the fair... outside cabin and shows every night

5:40 am

mrpresident

5:40 am

dcseain

outside cabin, too.
terrific!

5:40 am

montreal13

5:41 am

mrpresident

it only works out to $140 a day, all meals and accomodation etc... I love cruising

5:42 am

dcseain

that a bit more than half the cost of hotel alone on my last trip to NYC

5:42 am

mrpresident

dcs, you need to come join us for a holiday!

5:42 am

dcseain

that side of the world is in my travel plans of the next 2 years, mrp, so in due course, i shall :)

5:43 am

mrpresident

oh well dcs! you must come stay with us!

5:44 am

Guten morgen, babbler buddies. Does anyone know Pito 75? He was the only non=pro in the elites of sudoku, then fell down by two points, and has now been reinstated with non pro rank. In Babble he/she is still one game out. Is that Dr. God playing himself?

6:02 am

Ok, good, scrabs. I just realized, tho, I meant bunnies and I didn't now if you had any less furry kids.

AAAh, moonwoof, I see you are relatively new. Are you in Minneapolis itself?

Sorry Inge I also don't know.

6:32 am

Merk

6:33 am

Merk

Is it a compound word?

6:33 am

montreal13

nawww scrabs... balmy for us - was working outside thursday at minus 15 C...

6:33 am

moonwoof

ca8 = ca7 past tense

6:33 am

Sherylr1961

only light snow tonight for Barrie very cold though

6:33 am

mrpresident

ok, fireworks!

6:33 am

Scrabbler

As oppose to the cephalad direction

6:33 am

montreal13

no merk - use last vowel for 3rd letter

6:33 am

Sherylr1961

congrats mr p

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, Montreal.

6:33 am

montreal13

Yahoooooo MRP!!!!!

6:33 am

montreal13

way to go mrp !!!!!

6:34 am

moonwoof

congrats

6:34 am

Merk

I figured the past tense would be there, but I'm still thinking of tails. Does it have the first three letters of the ca 4,5?

6:34 am

mrpresident

well, my darling daughter lost her molar tooth tonight! how much are they worth??

6:34 am

Scrabbler

I have to get ready for work....seeing sick kids in the office from 9-2:30 and perhaps beyond.

6:34 am

montreal13

no merk - use the 5th vowel as 3rd letter

6:35 am

Merk

ty

6:35 am

montreal13

have a nice day scrabs !

6:35 am

Scrabbler

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Also, in the brain there is a structure called the ca7/40 nucleus.

6:36 am

montreal13

6:36 am

Scrabbler

We shall find out, Sheryl.

6:36 am

Sherylr1961

carleekat

6:38 am

Sherylr1961

bonkler

6:42 am

moonwoof

Maybe not under the pillow, tho.

6:43 am

mrpresident

ok, in my day, i got 20c for a tooth. now, that would have got me mixed lollies and an ice cream.... so that means I have to pay her $5

6:44 am

moonwoof

The link was broken. (The one that explained it.)

AngelSong's site did work though.

1:12 pm

pinkhatlil

hello babblers!!

1:12 pm

amerup

Hey

1:13 pm

crpw48

hi pink

1:14 pm

amerup

>_> I'm so confused.

1:14 pm

cybernan

19 to go -- need the list now

1:15 pm

cybernan

what are you confused about amerup?

1:15 pm

amerup

Okay, I get the Word Stats, but the Tile Stats make no sense.

1:16 pm

crpw48

the tile stats tell you the first two letters of each word needed in the grid

1:17 pm

crpw48

i mean the first letter needed

1:17 pm

cybernan

The tile stats: eg: Y: 0/1 = there is one y word from the top left hand corner. When you find it the 0 will change to a 1 and that square will turn grey. It is a means of keeping track of how many words are still needef from each tile.

1:17 pm

praise2him

and how many are in the grid

1:19 pm

amerup

I got yacht, and it says Y 0/1

1:19 pm

amerup

Oh.

1:19 pm

cybernan

does that make any sense now, amerup? --- you should know that after the first two weeks, you will lose the tile stats unless you "go pro".

1:19 pm

amerup

It's just a copy of the grid shown in a different way, with different content.

1:20 pm

amerup

Lol I get it now.

1:20 pm

amerup

Thanks a lot. :D

1:20 pm

cybernan

the y 5/18 that you mentioned begins with the y in the middle square.

1:21 pm

cybernan

I should also mention that we try to avoid typing grid words into the chatbox -- it spoils it for other players.

1:21 pm

amerup

Yeah, I know. I noticed after I posted. Sorry.

1:22 pm

cybernan

that's OK -- hope you are enjoying the game and will decide to become a regular member of the group.

1:23 pm

amerup

Yep. It's really fun. It's kinda like bookworm, isn't it?

1:23 pm

Hi Mcsullivan, hi all. Mc, how long have you been playing?

3:39 pm

mcsullivan

tried it yesterday

3:40 pm

lynxxx

Hi McSullivan..it takes a while to work out the clues. Read the Help above first. anexample ...et5.16 a 5 leter word starting with et and a point value of 16. sometimes vowel is the Y, ** indicate missing letters. Hang in there, you will get it eventually

3:40 pm

Marmar

Hang in there, I am fairly new, a few months, but you start catching on to the clues after a couple days.

3:41 pm

Uniquity

In most clues, the asterisks (*) represent letters that belong in that word, but are also part of the word being clued. This way, we don't give you the word right out, but shuffle you on your way.

3:41 pm

lynxxx

Hi Madi & Marmar

3:41 pm

Marmar

Hi lynxxx!

3:42 pm

mcsullivan

thank you....I'll checkout the Help first

3:43 pm

I did not have a lot of success with the grid today. Just actually checking in before turning in for the day. I thought maybe I would find a ton more words tonight but no luck. Maybe tomorrow!
