12:07 am

jillibus

herin -- have a great time. It's just that Christmas is the name of this particular holiday, whether you celebrate it or not, just as Diwali is the name of the Hindu holiday.

12:54 am

moonwoof

it's not just a noun anymore.

12:54 am

jesdraggon

hmm. *remains skeptical about Enable's sanity*

12:54 am

licketySplitAUS

yes MVA - probably hasn't had much 'real' human contact in his first 2.5 years (in racing kennels) so will improve over the next few months

2:36 am

mountains lay 75km to the NW of where i grew up, Sprite. Some days, we got, and my nephew still gets, a day off from school because the County can't get a school bus up Bull Run Mountain at the other end of the county. I grew up near the confluence of the Potomac and Occoquan Rivers.

5:12 am

5:14 am

sprite

When I met my parents-in-law for the very first time, they served ricepudding with berry juice as dessert. I managed to work my way through it without flinching, behaving so very perfectly.

5:14 am

dcseain

Of course, it doesn't help that I'm hungry.

5:14 am

dcseain

dairy agrees w/you not, sprite?

5:15 am

sprite

And then, second round of dessert, and hubby-to-be takes a huges portion. I hand him the berry juice. He says, not too much, darling, or I cannot taste the ricepudding anymore.

5:15 am

moonwoof

Cya Merk. Happy day!

5:15 am

6:00 am

carleekat

I think we only get it about 1ce every 5 or 6 years

6:10 am

Book Doctor Gwen

6:10 am

moonwoof

It truly is. It Must be discrimmination.

6:10 am

sprite

LOLLL Gwen! Yeah, computers are like airplanes... never open windows!

6:11 am

sprite

When I grow up, I want to have a Mac.

6:11 am

dcseain

ROFL so true, sprite!

6:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

in fact, Babble is the only thing I use IE for, since it doesn't run well on Firefox

6:11 am

dcseain

that's true for me at home, too gwen. only cause Lickety wrote it that way.

6:11 am

FMitch

Nothing wrong with Windows or have I been lucky also use IE fine!

6:12 am

moonwoof

I use firefox... It seems fine to me... Except when the whole site freaks out.

FMitch

6:14 am

sprite

is it a kind of security setting?

6:14 am

dcseain

IE, google, yahoo, and other toolbars can block pop-ups, unless a site is excepted.

6:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sprite, perhaps they will simply email you the jpeg?

6:14 am

sprite

please do, FMitch! Thanks so much!

6:15 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ummmm . . .

6:15 am

sprite

I am gonna put babble into the green zone, see if that helps

6:15 am

moonwoof

6:37 am

FranMag

thanks for the email FM!!

6:38 am

sprite

it is not related to the expert, that is for sure. And not sure about the popup thing. Usually I can open any popup by clicking on it with Cntrl held. Does not work either.

6:38 am

FranMag

oh look, a word that goes with our theme today

6:38 am

carleekat

reboot?

oh good. :-)

6:39 am

carleekat

anyway..off to sofa for a bit....

6:39 am

moonwoof

You'd'a been proud, tho. It involved green bean caserole. And it has been good. I would say maybe even Wise to come here.

6:39 am

dcseain

enjoy, carlee.

6:39 am

carleekat

enjoy the day all..happy christmas to those I may miss later on

6:39 am

sprite

lol dc, see my last post...

6:39 am

moonwoof

You too, carlee. have a good day.

6:39 am

FMitch

sprite I had the same thing on Friday and it was around the same time babble and sudoku went a bit slow and glitchy, then it was all ok again after about an hour.

6:39 am

dcseain

oh, i see. does the sceen do anything when you do that, or just nothing?

6:39 am

FranMag

bye carlee! have a good day. (hug)

6:40 am

sprite

take care, carlee. Am thinking of you and helping to carry the burden a little. Wind beneath thy wings, darling!

6:40 am

FMitch

Bye carlee

6:40 am

sprite

the blue bar at the top goes light, as if there is another page active, that is all.

6:41 am

sprite

ok, might try later then as well, FMitch, but it has been this way since the reinstall, I am afraid it is not due to a server problem, alas.

6:42 am

FMitch

Ah well in which case resort to the old fashioned way of fing things and kick it *grin*.

6:42 am

dcseain

tools>internet options>security>pop-up blocker shed no light on the matter, i gather.

6:43 am

FranMag

sprite, on my husband's laptop sometimes the shift or control key locks even if i haven't pressed it and that causes strange things to happen.

6:43 am

sprite

nope, dc, I even tried with unabled blocking and they still do not appear.

6:44 am

FranMag

sprite, when you go to your window menu, do you just have the one window open?

6:44 am

sprite

Merry Christmas MrP and Lickety!!!

7:13 am

bbnaz

7:13 am

Dorens

7:13 am

bbnaz

for the ending

7:13 am

Jacula

sprite - in that case it's the word that sounds like my Other Half's name.

7:13 am

Niamh

I made peanut butter rice crispies last night for the first time... they turned out really nice and the kids had fun helping!

10:42 am

Uniquity

10:42 am

Niamh

10:43 am

caitlyn

Uni!! Welcome back,I havent seen you for ages!!

10:44 am

10:44 am

Uniquity

Oooh...peanut butter fudge is DELICIOUS
I will be on my third set of gingerbread men

10:44 am

Niamh

no soup Uni! I'm sorry... I always keep a stock of what we call "sick soup"... it's Mr's Grass chicken noodle

10:45 am

Uniquity

Oh, it was quick cuz I found some...a surprising can of beef vegetable something or other. it's not even condensed! I am happy

10:45 am

caitlyn

sick soup here is tomato

10:45 am

Niamh

10:45 am

Uniquity

Lol....wanna come bring some Niamh? I might even be able to taste it!

10:45 am

caitlyn

I notice you are not sharing NiamhLOl

10:45 am

Niamh

tomato soup sounds really nice right now... with toasted cheese!

10:46 am

Niamh

oh... I'm sorry here *passes plate around*
I brought some for my boss and then he informs me he doesn't like peanut butter

10:46 am

Uniquity

Mm...maybe I shall have to melt some cheese into my soup as a compromise

10:46 am

Uniquity

WHAT?! Who doesn't like peanut butter? People who are allergic even like it, I bet!

10:47 am

caitlyn

Mmmmmmmm lovely Niamh thank you

10:47 am

Niamh

he's a huge smart alec... I'm not entirely sure he wasn't playing with me... but he hasn't eaten any yet!

10:48 am

Uniquity

Sounds like my Dad....I make him delicious things and he complains about it, lets it sit...then complains when I eat some...THEN secretly eats it all. Men are complicated, I fear

10:49 am

Uniquity

At least my stepdad openly appreciates delicious things!

10:49 am

caitlyn

Well I had better go now...I hope you all have a very Happy Christmas See you all soon..bye

10:49 am

Niamh

10:51 am

Uniquity

Bye Cait! **hug**

10:52 am

Uniquity

It can be frustrating, but at least it is all appreciated!

10:52 am

Niamh

I wonder if Dr. God purposefuly gave us a small grid today knowing we all should probably be doing other things???

10:53 am

Niamh

I know the grids are randomly generated and all... but he is a Dr. and a God on top of that...

10:54 am

Uniquity

I alwyas wonder...someone came on and said that last XMas, it was a 287 word grid though...

10:54 am

Uniquity

He chooses what ones go on what day though, I believe. At least, i assumed after the day that he ran out of grids

10:59 am

Niamh

maybe the 287 word Christmas grid was a gift to those who needed a distraction that day?

11:00 am

Niamh

maybe the 287 word Christmas grid was a gift to those who needed a distraction that day?

11:00 am

I used to be a hair under 5'8", but I wore heels proudly

4:07 pm

Uniquity

Well, no heels for pregnant ladies, way too dangerous! :)

4:07 pm

tygerbryght

that was *tall* for a femme, back when I was young

4:08 pm

Uniquity

Yep...Mum and I went pro together, both by sponsorship. We are so happy and appreciative...looking for ways to pass it on

4:08 pm

Nancy Boy

Uni, as long as they're cute, shoes are ALWAYS delightful :D

4:08 pm

tygerbryght

absolutely, Uni! already enough pressure on the low back

4:08 pm

Becca Lorum

I can still wear them at the mo - not waddling yet!

4:08 pm

FMitch

tyger I'm 6' and wear 3" or so heels now

4:08 pm

tygerbryght

well, just don't do it too long, becca :)

4:08 pm

Uniquity

Also a bigger tripping danger, aside from the damage they automatically due to the feet and back

4:08 pm

tygerbryght

really, FM? you don't have the 'look' of a tall woman in your photo

4:09 pm

Becca Lorum

Yess Tyger *looks down at feet*

4:09 pm

Uniquity

Oh Fmitch...you sound so glamorous at 6 feet in your snazy dress with 3 inch heels!

4:09 pm

tygerbryght

Uni's right becca :) just don't do it too long, luv

4:10 pm

Becca Lorum

I only wear them for special occasions - not everyday - can't be bothered with that!

4:10 pm

tygerbryght

I love when a tall woman has the courage to "flaunt it"

4:10 pm

Nancy Boy

Tall enough to be a supermodel, FMitch ;)
I have to go back to visit my relatives in Korea; I can't talk to them, but I always feel tall there :)

4:10 pm

herinfernallady

Tyger i have new pics in my icon

4:10 pm

Uniquity

I love being tall, always have. I need to skinny up a bit more before I can flaunt the beauty of height!

4:10 pm

Becca Lorum

I know, I won't be wearing them much longer anyway, my back is already starting to ache wth flats on

4:11 pm

tygerbryght

has everybody finished the grid? I came in for a bit, thinking someone might need clues

4:11 pm

tygerbryght

how far along are you, becca?

4:11 pm

Uniquity

I finished this morning Tyger, give a shout

4:11 pm

Becca Lorum

Nowhere near finishing tyger - too busy chatting!

4:11 pm

FMitch

Glamerous,? than you!
'Fraid I am *clears thraot* a little too old for that but I love you for saying it.

4:11 pm

tygerbryght

oh, yeah. nice poses, kiddo! :)

4:12 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, becca

4:12 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh come off it, FMitch! A woman's beauty is timeless ;)

4:12 pm

Becca Lorum

Only 10 weeks tyger, which is why I can keep the shoes for a bit

4:12 pm

snapdragn

That is so nice Tyger! but I'm just getting started

4:12 pm

FMitch

Did everyone know that NancyBoy is my bestest best friend *grin*

4:12 pm

tygerbryght

absotively posilutely not after 4 months, becca, and you shouldn't go that long, okay? (motherly tone)

4:13 pm

tygerbryght

no, FM, didn't know that.

4:13 pm

Uniquity

Fmitch, Lori wants you to know that "there is a conspiracy of kindness (or so she and I feel) and we want to thank you for your part in it" ((She has the boys on Santa Tracker, so I speak for her))

4:13 pm

Becca Lorum

OK tyger - to be honest, I prob won't have occasion to wear them again now anyway

4:13 pm

Nancy Boy

<<matches FMitch's grin>>
BEST friends.
C:

4:13 pm

herinfernallady

Becca hands you a comfy pair of Ugg boots

4:13 pm

Nancy Boy

And congratulations, Becca! :)

4:13 pm

Uniquity

4:14 pm

Becca Lorum

Thanks Nancy Boy. Very excited about it, but would love to stop feeling sick!

4:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Ladies, ladies.
There is more than enough Nancy Boy to go around ;)
Just form an orderly queue. No pushing.

4:14 pm

tygerbryght

Uggs are surely comfy, but I doubt I could ever bring myself to wear them

4:14 pm

moonwoof

Merrry Xmas Eveeerybudy!

4:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Well, some pushing.

4:14 pm

Becca Lorum

Hi Moon!

4:14 pm

FMitch

Uni please say Happy Christmas and best wishes to Lori for me.

4:15 pm

Uniquity

4:15 pm

tygerbryght

4:15 pm

Uniquity

Hey Moon! Lori and I have been sponsored, maybe to help you keep your sanity??

4:15 pm

moonwoof

4:15 pm

4:15 pm

herinfernallady

HI Moon

4:16 pm

moonwoof

4:16 pm

Nancy Boy

4:16 pm

moonwoof

Heya lady

4:16 pm

Becca Lorum

I think they will be too hot by July though Herin

4:16 pm

tygerbryght

herin, the baby was a girl??

4:16 pm

Uniquity

I don't think I could ever bear to put them on my feet. Actually, I know that unless some insane situation which I can't even imagine coming up does, I will never wear them

4:16 pm

FMitch

Right I only popped in to say Hi and Bye, Hugs Nancy and look after that ankle dear! HAve a great day tomorrow all and see you soon in BabbleLand.

4:17 pm

tygerbryght

Uni, what's your Chinese zodiac sign?

4:17 pm

Becca Lorum

Merry Christmas FMitch!!!!

4:17 pm

tygerbryght

4:17 pm

Uniquity

4:17 pm

Uniquity

I am a cusper - Leo and Virgo

4:17 pm

Nancy Boy

4:17 pm

moonwoof

4:17 pm

Becca Lorum

I didn't know Uni!

4:17 pm

Uniquity

Wait. Oh. Paying attention.

4:17 pm

moonwoof

She was NOT supposed to...

4:17 pm

Uniquity

chinese zodiac - dragon

4:17 pm

tygerbryght

that's western astro, babe. Chinese goes by year of birth

4:18 pm

tygerbryght

oh. I thought somehow you'd be a sheep, like me :)

4:18 pm

moonwoof

And by element.

4:18 pm

Uniquity

No, Haz did Lori, Ata did I...Seriously though. Did everyone know?? **smiling in joy**

4:18 pm

LoriP

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

4:18 pm

moonwoof

For instance, I am an "Iron Rat"

4:18 pm

Becca Lorum

HI Lori - Merry Christmas!

4:19 pm

tygerbryght

4:19 pm

moonwoof

Well... I guess Sprite and I are gonna have to gift someone else then. DRAT

4:19 pm

LoriP

Becca, all the ebst to ya!

4:19 pm

tygerbryght

hey, lori, Merry Christmas to you, too

4:19 pm

FMitch

*Waves at Lori from the distance*

4:19 pm

Uniquity

Lol...I think more absurd is that in western i am the virgin and the lion. Contradiction?

4:19 pm

LoriP

Same to you and yours tyger.

4:19 pm

moonwoof

Well, prolly. Haz and Sprite had a really hard time. They kept talking about it. =P

4:19 pm

Nancy Boy

Moon, how do you know the element?
It's shameful that I ask you this, as I actually come from ancestry in the orient. But all I know is that I'm a horse :)

4:19 pm

tygerbryght

thx, lori

4:20 pm

LoriP

FMitch!!!!! I think that this may truly be your fault..... :-) In the nicest possible way. :-)

4:20 pm

Becca Lorum

I'm a horse too Nancy!!

4:20 pm

Uniquity

Well Lori...we gotta blame her no matter what!

4:20 pm

Uniquity

Isn't anyone else a dragon? **feels left out**

4:20 pm

moonwoof

Ah, the element is derived from what season you're born in the year of what animal. I had a web page link 4Ever ago... I'll look for it.

4:20 pm

LoriP

There were actual tears. Conspiracy of kindness, made my whole year.

4:20 pm

Becca Lorum

It's always FMitch's fault!

4:20 pm

Nancy Boy

<<high fives Becca>>

4:20 pm

tygerbryght

lemme look it up. I think my son is

4:20 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks, Moon :)

Oh yeah Uni? Try being the only Rat =P

Well there you go Tyger...we might not share the chinese, but our western predictions are aligned!

4:25 pm

moonwoof

Oh. I forgot about my Xmas present for the girls. Drat. brb

4:25 pm

Nancy Boy

Awww, now to me, a metal horse sounds quite threatening.

4:26 pm

Uniquity

I am rather intimidated Nancy...**returns to end of line** :)

4:26 pm

inge

I checked out my sign and am a RAT

4:26 pm

Nancy Boy

<<hugs>>Oh Uni, I'm more of a water rabbit :')

4:27 pm

Becca Lorum

Well it seems I'm an earthy horse

4:27 pm

Nancy Boy

Then Inge, you are imaginative, charming and generous :)

4:27 pm

tygerbryght

okay, herin, I'll read later, K? :)

4:28 pm

inge

imaginative is correct, the other stuff is an off and on trait

4:28 pm

Uniquity

Well, now that we all know so much about each other's horoscopes, can we have the pillowfight and pigtails?

4:28 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, Uni

4:28 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh Uni.
I've been WAITING for someone to ask.
<<fluffs pillow excitedly>>

4:28 pm

herinfernallady

Well not so much as a read but a look

4:28 pm

Uniquity

My earth dragon descriptors don't work for me very well at all. I was surprised.

4:28 pm

Becca Lorum

No uni, or else Santa CLause won't come to our houses

4:28 pm

tygerbryght

inge, rats are very highly respected in Chinese astrology!

4:29 pm

herinfernallady

Nancy i read Metal as mental horse. Think i need more coffee

4:29 pm

inge

Uni, you missed me,, the pillow flew right past me to the neighbors house

4:29 pm

tygerbryght

my sheep/goat/lamb descriptors are actually almost spot-on

4:29 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL, Herin!
Now that -is- intimidating :'D

4:30 pm

Uniquity

**aims interestingly shaped pillow at Nancy boy - fires, then runs through the line of adoring fans**

4:30 pm

moonwoof

Yeah! I'm not the only Rat!

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

or at least in every one I've ever read thus far. haven't gone deeper into that site. takes too long away from the chat

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

keeping it up for later ;)

4:30 pm

inge

after baking checkerboard cookies, three pumpkin pies, I am again on kitchen detail for supper. Is that what rats re suppsoed to do.>?

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

and thinking it's about time to change my icon again

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

checkerboard cookies, inge??

4:31 pm

Becca Lorum

Speaking of Santa Claus - just realised I've left a bag full of stocking fillers in my bed and hubby has just gone up - time for me to go too. Night all and Merry CHristmas!

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

never heard of those

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

<<Quietly begins filing a lawsuit against Uni>>

4:31 pm

Uniquity

Tyger - I am gonna look into it more at a later time as well. I am always interested in horoscopes

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

awwww, nancy

4:31 pm

moonwoof

Nite Becca! Have a merry day.

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

Night night, Becca :) Merry Christmas!

4:32 pm

Uniquity

Aww, night Becca! Take care of you and yours

4:32 pm

moonwoof

Sadly, none of the chinese sites I've looked at so far are breaking down the elements. Thats Lame.

4:32 pm

Nancy Boy

Tyger, you should've seen the shape of the pillow!
I have never been more OFFENDED in my seventeen years :O

4:32 pm

tygerbryght

in general, Uni, I've found that Western birth signs are often fairly accurate. however, the daily stuff, even if cast personally, usually are crap

4:32 pm

Uniquity

Well...If I had thought that you were going to be so offended, I would have thrown two! :)

4:32 pm

tygerbryght

oh, really? that bad?

4:32 pm

moonwoof

Yeah, right. A guy who's "offended" by a pillow fight LOL

4:33 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL, Uni :DD

4:33 pm

herinfernallady

NIght Becca

4:33 pm

Uniquity

The general descriptors of virgo are very accurate for me...with a few leo traits as well. However, like you said, the day to day is useless...

4:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Moon, I'm only delicate! :')

4:34 pm

tygerbryght

did becca leave? I missed it. if not, later, becca

4:34 pm

moonwoof

Hmm. I'll have to dig around some.. But, for instance, "metal" should be broken down into iron, bronze and silver...

4:34 pm

tygerbryght

absolutely, woof. metal is too generic

4:35 pm

moonwoof

Of COURSE you are, Nancy. I never suggested otherwise. Until just now.

4:35 pm

tygerbryght

gold /= lead!!

4:35 pm

Uniquity

I like that I am earth..although what I read didn't work for me, as I am highly emotional...but I am afraid of change! Lol

4:35 pm

moonwoof

I can't quite recall all of it, tyger, sorry. It's been a long time.

4:35 pm

tygerbryght

Uni, have you ever had your birth chart properly constructed? You may have a bunch of planets in air or water (as I do)

4:36 pm

Uniquity

I don't even know what a birth chart is..sounds interesting though

4:36 pm

herinfernallady

Nancy when we did a role playing game my house had a horse that was 30 hands high and was a Ghoul it was very mentally impressive

4:36 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL, Moon. Now you mention it, I did have a pillow fight when I went camping with some guy friends.
Sadly, they all profess to be straight.
Being out the closet myself, I'm sure I know better ;)

4:36 pm

moonwoof

The most "accurate" of the astrology stuff I found was a natal chart.

4:36 pm

Uniquity

As I said, horoscopes fascinate me as part of the nature/nurture battle, and the brutal honesty of them

4:36 pm

Scarlet

Gosh, I left when the drunken pirate rum-party began, and come back in on a pillow fight! Nancy Boy!! Delighted to see you dear... how are you? Happy holidays to Lady, tyger, moon and all... Uni, so nice to see you and Mom are now officially "Pro"!

4:37 pm

tygerbryght

You hafta know your exact time of birth (and location) and then take an ephemeris to figure out what planets are above the horizon, and what signs they're in

4:37 pm

Uniquity

SCARLET! I have been waiting for you ALL DAY! Lori and I wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas!!!!

4:37 pm

4:38 pm

Oh, tyger, make sure she has her latitude and longitude, it makes it easier to use the eph.

4:38 pm

Uniquity

4:39 pm

Uniquity

5:10 pm

EspritdJean

I have 8 left and losing patience!

5:10 pm

Uniquity

I wish I wasn't already sick so I could enjoy this a bit more...but a bit of wine and rum makes the throat stop hurting so I feel better, surprisingly!

5:10 pm

stidmama

oh no! *shudder* well, stay OFF the ankle, do what the doc says and DON'T push yourself. Do you have someone to fetch and carry for you?

5:42 pm

inge

I keep going back to Santa tracker. Great fun

5:43 pm

stidmama

Santa tracker?

5:44 pm

stidmama

I can't even track the status of the laundry today (my dryer is starting to fail)... a laundry tracker would be nice.

5:48 pm

stidmama

okay, I need to head out also. I hope everyone has a lovely evening, and if you celebrate tomorrow, may it be full of love and light. *poof*

5:49 pm

arleneehm

i'm just trying to keep track of my focus - have new contacts and am also using reading glasses....... i've joined the ranks of the bifocal users.....

5:49 pm

Scarlet

They are difficult to get accustomed to, arlen..

5:50 pm

arleneehm

hints - please onthe bifocals ----

5:52 pm

Scarlet

I had a bit of difficulty with sidewalks, and wayyyy overstepping the curbs at first... then I learned how to focus my eyes with the new double vision thing...

5:52 pm

arleneehm

I'm using the moving my head and and shifting the competer screen but I'm not sure what else to do... I've broken three cups so far

5:53 pm

arleneehm

that ounds like more fun - once I get teh glasses... oh well...... that's life

5:53 pm

Scarlet

LOL... at least you haven't broken a bone... you will find your own way... what works for my husband does not work for me... so, little by little, I learned, and then discovered I could not stand them...

5:54 pm

arleneehm

i haven't left the house with them yet..... absolutely terrified of what'll happe when I'm driving

5:54 pm

Scarlet

So now I use glasses for reading, crocheting and using the computer, and my distance vision has improved fivefold... the eye doctor told me that it happens frequently... one of the few good things about aging... LOL

5:55 pm

Scarlet

You will come to be comfortable with them, arlen... how long are you wearing them now?

5:55 pm

arleneehm

about 4 hours a day.....

5:56 pm

Scarlet

WEre you advised to lengthen the wearing times each day?

5:56 pm

arleneehm

yep..by an hour each day -yesterday was three.

5:56 pm

Scarlet

Maybe the cup mortality rate will wind down too... LOL

5:58 pm

arleneehm

i hope so..... it's not so much them breaking - i ahve lots...but the finding all the pieces...... the contacts fix the long distance and reading glasses fix the short-b but there's still the middle ground....

5:59 pm

Scarlet

My daughter has serious vision problems, and she is seeing so much better with her contacts... her glasses have a prisim to enable her sight to be stronger...

5:59 pm

BerniceQ

hello all and happy (fill in the blank with your holiday). does anyone have a clue for the H in the middle of the first column? it must be a weird one, HW or HN?

5:59 pm

6:01 pm

BerniceQ

well worth the two hours. i'm going to send it to my mom. she'll love it.

6:01 pm

Scarlet

I am sort of universal in my love of mankind, and whatever faith system anyone embraces... and did not want to ignore nor specify any one group...

6:02 pm

arleneehm

scarlet -I think it's great.

6:02 pm

BerniceQ

and supposedly, each faith promotes peace, though some people so horrible things under the flags of their religions. nice to be reminded of the real purpose of these faiths

6:03 pm

Scarlet

Okay, Bernice... I put "Peace on Earth" in the Google image search engine, so you will find it there... Thank you, arlen!! Hope you find it, Bernice!

6:03 pm

BerniceQ

i actually already copied it from your profile, thanks

6:03 pm

6:12 pm

arleneehm

scarlet - not getting it - to me that usually sounds like 'BOONG'

6:13 pm

Scarlet

A long thin metal thing that gets banged into wood with a hammer is a NA**, then add the past tense ending...

6:13 pm

Scarlet

Sorry, take out the second vowel...

6:15 pm

arleneehm

10:01 pm

saphyre

For Poles, Christmas Eve is a time of family gathering and reconciliation. It's also a night of magic: Animals are said to talk in a human voice and people have the power to tell the future. The belief was born with our ancestors who claimed that Dec. 24 was a day to mark the beginning of a new era.
