2:54 am

Jellen

2:55 am

Jellen

tr8 clue, anyone?

2:55 am

FranMag

jellen, having a long deep pit

2:55 am

FranMag

or "past tense" of tr6/24

2:56 am

Jellen

Oh, sorry, there are 2 tr8's, I need the first.

2:56 am

Jellen

Thanks, Fran.

2:56 am

sprite

the Ns are killing me. Thanks to some clues I found some totally stoooopid no words.

2:56 am

FranMag

2:57 am

Rows

G'night, Rows!

2:58 am

KatieMcG

morning everyone hubby2b just gone to work, 278 word grid, shopping trip with Mari later and the day off, just needs to be summer and the day would perfect :-)

2:58 am

FranMag

hi katie!

2:59 am

FranMag

jellen, i bet it's a compound word starting with the growing thing...just a guess

3:00 am

sprite

hi katie, sounds great

3:01 am

Jellen

Hi, katie!

3:01 am

KatieMcG

I did wish for a big grid ;-)

3:01 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh Summer, I love summer.

3:02 am

FranMag

thank you then katie. :-)

3:02 am

KatieMcG

Oh I just realised I taped a programme last night so I can watch that now as well :-)

3:02 am

Jellen

tr8/45 comes alphabectically before the growing thing, though. Hmmmm. . .

3:02 am

sprite

there is a weird tr8. The growing thing minus last letter + 1/100 or coin + owel

3:03 am

Jellen

That's it! Thanks, sprite!

3:03 am

FranMag

thanks sprite!

3:03 am

kittychan

ty! That is a weird word!

3:03 am

sprite

yvw :) Took me ages to find it as well.

3:03 am

KatieMcG

Thanks for the clue I would never have got that one

3:05 am

sprite

was my last 8, lol. Now 2 more 7s and all the biggies will be accounted for

3:05 am

Jellen

Any advice on flirting for me? (Sorry, I have a one-track mind tonight)

3:05 am

sprite

appear attainable, be unavailable, is what comes to mind, Jellen ;)

3:06 am

KatieMcG

Jellen, i did a lot of flirting through text on the phone when I met Hubby2b, just remember that you have to be yourself though

3:06 am

kittychan

Jellen - sorry, but I would say be careful to not take it too seriously.... people say things online that they would never say in person and then sometimes they just disappear without explanation.

3:07 am

Jellen

That's pretty easy. Most of them are extremely long-distance.

3:07 am

Jellen

Thanks, kitty. Right now, it's just fun having nice things said to me.

3:08 am

sprite

it is something to have fun with. Best advice I have is to enjoy it :D

3:08 am

kittychan

good attitude!

3:09 am

redturtlehead

Who is flirting??

3:09 am

sprite

Jellen is! At long last! :)

3:09 am

Jellen

I'm flirting on Facebook, red.

3:09 am

redturtlehead

Oooh jellen....

3:09 am

redturtlehead

I should join face book so i can flirt...

3:10 am

Jellen

Divorced after 20 years, separated since August 2005, and I'm just getting around to flirting.

3:10 am

redturtlehead

Is he awesome??

3:10 am

redturtlehead

Never ever married...

3:11 am

Jellen

Actually, I have several guys who are corresponding with me right now.

3:12 am

redturtlehead

Jellen, you amaze me.

3:12 am

sprite

you should. Wonderful.

3:12 am

FranMag

i'm not going to say too much about on-line flirting because i married one of the guys i flirted with and i don't think that's jellen's goal. :-)

3:12 am

Jellen

Sure, it's all based on a fuzzy photo of me taken several years ago, but hey. . .

3:12 am

redturtlehead

I had a guy last year who seemed awesome, but then all of a sudden he got strange, sooo...

3:12 am

sprite

lol Fran!

3:12 am

redturtlehead

LOL at/both fran and Jellen...

3:12 am

FranMag

and it's a great picture jellen!

3:13 am

Tanja

Hi Guys -I'm just starting - had a nap this afternoon that turned into much longer than i thought lol

3:13 am

Jellen

I don't know Fran. I'm certainly not going to turn away from Mr. Right, should he by some extreme chance appear.

3:14 am

sprite

hi Tanja, in that case you needed it.

3:14 am

FranMag

okay jellen, look for me when you think he's THE ONE. :-)

3:14 am

FranMag

hi tanja!

3:14 am

Jellen

Hi, Tanja

3:14 am

Jellen

I'd be interested to hear your story some day, Fran.

3:15 am

FranMag

sprite, i think i just found one of the weird no words

3:15 am

Jellen

Oh, and one of them started a Scrabulous game with me.

3:15 am

sprite

yay Fran!

3:15 am

FranMag

oh good, you can find out if he's smart, or at least has a good vocabulary. :-)

3:16 am

KatieMcG

Now I found that not looking for the 'one' meant that I found him, I just wanted to get back into dating and ended up with Hubby2b

3:17 am

Jellen

Maybe I might win a Scrabulous game!

3:17 am

FranMag

same here katie, wasn't really looking, but happened to find a good one and he was at the same point in his life

3:17 am

FranMag

lol jellen

3:19 am

KatieMcG

knowing that they have some intelligence does help jellen ;-)

3:19 am

Jellen

I can tell quite a bit from their messages to me.

3:20 am

redturtlehead

Arugh, I think I can never meet anyone again...

3:20 am

KatieMcG

red, never give up :-)

3:20 am

FranMag

red, i'm pretty sure that's not true

3:21 am

Jellen

Red, one can always hope!

3:21 am

redturtlehead

Well, I never give up hope, but, I also dont have too much hope...

3:21 am

sprite

of course you can, red

3:23 am

redturtlehead

In some ways it is nice to be single, but I do hate the wierd looks I get when people ask me about my children...especially during the holidays...

3:25 am

sprite

so... you just need a special guy. He had to mature until now before he was ready to me4 you.

3:25 am

Jellen

I'm childless, too.

3:26 am

Jellen

It is awkward, because people assume I have kids.

3:26 am

FranMag

not a good thing to assume

3:26 am

KatieMcG

People assume that I want kids!

3:27 am

moonwoof

You should se the ones you get when you snark back that "I'm sterile. Tyvm."

KatieMcG

When I got my two kitties to go with the elder cat and the hamster I announced to everyone that my family was complete!!

3:30 am

Jellen

4:03 am

Jellen

Yes, I have several guys I've added to my friends list.

4:03 am

meliae

well they have to love words would be a requirement and of course cats

4:03 am

Jellen

One started a Scrabulous game with me.

5:27 am

redturtlehead

Hi Mar mar and MM!

5:27 am

redturtlehead

Would you mind to clue the 6, 24, ad I am lacking it.

5:28 am

phandmd

is it the sink hole word that builds to the 9?

5:28 am

redturtlehead

The other nine is a de 9 and means to move away from the middle....

5:28 am

Marmar

Hi Red. I was on earlier today and quit early. I get so frustrated when there are almost 200 words that are invisible to me!!! Now my little Marcus is here to help me!

5:29 am

redturtlehead

LOL, just a small get together then.

5:50 am

redturtlehead

I'm still here, but probably have to go soon...

5:51 am

redturtlehead

5:51 am

lynxxx

Hi Red

5:51 am

redturtlehead

Lori I like your icon, I can not wait to get home to change mine...

5:51 am

Jandy

Hi all... 170 to go for me... a long, long, way!

5:51 am

lynxxx

oh no, I meant players

5:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Jandy, I'm just a smidge ahead of you

5:53 am

LoriP

Thanks red. :-) 77 left to go here. Some very unusual words in this grid. I'm lovin' it.

5:53 am

Jandy

"Unusual" strikes fear into my heart

5:54 am

JBV

hi, Lori,lynxxx and Jandy - does anyone have the y's - I have only 2 - only one "unusual" - need 2 more but haven't checked the list yet

5:54 am

Jandy

Only one - 6/24

5:54 am

LoriP

ye 6/7 combo, yo 4/8, 4/7

5:55 am

JBV

ok, thanks, I have the yo's - I'll start looking for the ye's now

5:55 am

LoriP

I ahve 'em all if you need 'em. Jandy, extend that 6 with a consonant

5:55 am

lynxxx

add a cons to that for 7.36 Jandy

5:55 am

LoriP

6/24 7/36 if that helps JBV

5:55 am

Jandy

OOh, thanks, got it

5:55 am

JBV

got'em, thanks lori

5:56 am

JBV

5:56 am

LoriP

5:57 am

redturtlehead

Sadly...I have no tiles grayed yet, except the three to tart with...

5:57 am

redturtlehead

er start with... no tarting here.

5:58 am

LoriP

7 boxes left to grey out

5:58 am

Jandy

pleased to hear it!

5:58 am

redturtlehead

Go Lori Go! Go Lori Go!!!

5:58 am

Jandy

Oh nice job Lori... I haven't done one yet!

6:00 am

LoriP

It became apparent to me early on, to save my sanity, Lickety's was required. Self preservation. :-)

6:00 am

redturtlehead

Lickety and I have a date when i get off work and finish am task of attempting to run...

6:01 am

Jandy

I'm thinking that way already... two Advil and a nice lie down would be the other approach...

6:01 am

redturtlehead

that may also happen...

6:01 am

lynxxx

did you contact Lickety yet Jandy?

6:02 am

Jandy

No - that's tomorrow's job. At a friend's place tonight... spreading the disease!

6:02 am

redturtlehead

LOL Jandy, I was just playing and yet again, the docs are mesmerized...

6:03 am

lynxxx

Just remember, BabbleExpert will cut your time in 2

6:03 am

redturtlehead

Yes if i could find the words, it would!!!

6:03 am

LoriP

Babble Expert saved my marriage! ***yes, it's that good*** :-)

6:03 am

Jandy

Oh, I'll be on to it! Been a very long day today and there's no way this one will ever see a finish, methinks...

6:04 am

redturtlehead

No Kidding Lori!

6:04 am

lynxxx

no7.36 is a doozy

6:04 am

redturtlehead

Perhaps if I use babble Expert, i will get married??

6:04 am

Jandy

Grin - That's quite the recommendation LoriP!

6:07 am

redturtlehead

Ok closing up this shop for now...

6:07 am

LoriP

I'll see your 2 weird no 7/26's and raise you one really weird tr 8/45 :-)

6:08 am

LoriP

6:08 am

redturtlehead

6:18 am

Eva

6:18 am

lynxxx

yes - only an 8 - do you want 9s?

6:19 am

Eva

6:19 am

lynxxx

the other is de9.66 builds from the moral and correct de6.24

6:20 am

Eva

thanks! Hadn't tried that because I was only seeing it in the moral meaning, not the off kilter

6:21 am

lynxxx

you are not the only one

6:29 am

LoriP

hi Aloy!

8:08 am

Scarlet

But no Democratic primary in Florida, right, Aloy?

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

happy birthday to your mom, mom!!

8:09 am

Mom

thanks Une

8:09 am

carleekat

( oh crap john edwards pulling out of race )

8:09 am

Scarlet

Yep, kat.

8:09 am

hurshy

he is? already?

8:09 am

Anniebrook

Hi une!

8:10 am

carleekat

i like him... he seems genuine... too nice for politics

8:10 am

Anniebrook

and hurshy

8:10 am

Aloyisius

hi there, Annie.. Scarlet, Fla. was penalized for having an early primary... Giuliani is pulling out.. I know someone who will cry.. not me though

8:10 am

Uneaixoise

hey, annie! :-)

8:10 am

Scarlet

Menu is in the creation stages, kattie... definitely a heap of barbequed ribs... for starters...

8:10 am

hurshy

gosh i hope his voters go to obama

8:10 am

Scarlet

Eggxacalakly, Aloy... :-D

8:10 am

Uneaixoise

me too, hursh!

8:10 am

Scarlet

They just might, hursh.

8:11 am

hurshy

i dunno, pundits were saying clinton...

8:11 am

hurshy

prove pundits wrong, people!

8:11 am

carleekat

man I wish I could get behind obama... Ijust...can't.... funny feeling... ( and I've read his books..I truly like this guy)

8:11 am

hurshy

'sok, you're in canada

8:12 am

Aloyisius

dunno why you can't rehoe a garden.. i do all the time

8:12 am

carleekat

its NOt ok...

8:12 am

carleekat

ur government has HUGe repurcussions on canada

8:12 am

hurshy

i know i just mean it's ok for me, cause you don't vote here

8:13 am

Aloyisius

i think obama is a very de6.24 man..

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

bye, all. don't want to tiptoe around this powder keg.

8:13 am

Scarlet

Right you are, kattie... this is shaping up to be a barnburner... Mr. Obama's victory speech after winning SC was an echo from the past... then Caroline and Teddy jumped on board... and Toni Morrison... which is, on the face of it, meaningless... but it carries heft in the party...

8:13 am

Scarlet

Later, TO

8:14 am

carleekat

i don't trust him...

8:14 am

Aloyisius

bye, TO

8:14 am

Jacula

I'm off, too. BBL for final 65. Don't want to be tempted to use the list yet.

8:14 am

Scarlet

Thanks for the word, Aloy...

8:14 am

Aloyisius

(-: glad you caught it, Scarlet

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i just want to stay middle class. and not pay for everyone else to do whatever they please and look to govt to bail them out.

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

hey jacs!

8:15 am

carleekat

and... with the world in the mess its in..he has no foreign policy experience...whereas hillary does....and she might be power hungry ( but what politician in the running isn't ) and she is bloody smart

8:15 am

carleekat

( but when u consier they talking jeb bush running in 2012...if clinton gets in..that is the potential for 30 years of clinton/ bush

8:17 am

Scarlet

AAAAAArrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh..
.. not another Bush... I hadn't heard that, Kattie... now I am going to go in the Babble cave and cry for the rest of the day!!

8:17 am

Aloyisius

hee hee, monkies found ye6.24, start of the opposite of tomorrow

8:18 am

Aloyisius

ban the bush.. sorry, folks.. can't even stand to listen to the shrub

8:18 am

Scarlet

:-) YOu're good, Aloy...

8:18 am

carleekat

( up side on that one..jeb seems like the only decent bush out there...he has been very effective ( seems from up here anyway) dealing with all the hurricanes in fl.... but with the ease of access of federal $$$ I suppose it would be hard for him to mess that one up

8:18 am

Anniebrook

aloy, I could not have said it any better

8:18 am

Scarlet

The late Molly Ivins did a book "Shrub" and it was a hoot and a half

8:19 am

Aloyisius

whew, don't want to offend anyone, but he offends ME...

8:19 am

carleekat

i can't either aloy... I couldn't believe he got in the first time let alone afte r4 years of dealing with him

8:20 am

candycane7

BBL,time for a shower

8:20 am

hurshy

re: experience - cheney & co had lots of it, and as obama has pointed out, that didn't get us anywhere good. it's judgment that counts.

8:21 am

Uneaixoise

go, hursh!!!

8:21 am

Uneaixoise

scarlet, loooved Molly Ivins . . . sigh

8:22 am

carleekat

i worry about the whole kennedy "get behind cus u remind us of...." thing.... things are bad and people are trying to get better by remembering the good old times

8:23 am

Uneaixoise

have to say I found Caroline's speech very moving

8:24 am

carleekat

i did too..and that is scary... she's been trained... she is a professional lawyer... she was groomed by private schooling.. and international travels... she grew up as USA's royalty

8:24 am

hurshy

you know what i think is funny? the whole race thing. obama's half white. why can't white people be supposed to be voting for his white half, if black people are supposed to be voting for his black half?

8:24 am

carleekat

would be like a speech from prince charles picking who is runing for britains prime minister...

8:24 am

Judi

Morning, everyone. Oh no... political discussion. *claps hands over eyes and ears* La La La La La La La

8:25 am

Aloyisius

lol, hi there Judi

8:25 am

hurshy

yeah, prince charles really influences what the brits do...

8:25 am

Uneaixoise

don't agree, carlee . . .

8:25 am

carleekat

doesn't matter if he does or not..he'd never do it...

8:25 am

hurshy

everyone's been trying to get their ears to stick out more in england for decades

8:27 am

Whisper66

Hi all

8:27 am

carleekat

just..looking from a distance... we see the brits..we are completely inundated by US up here... and watching from a distance... its just a bit... over the top from the perspective up here

8:27 am

inge

h

8:28 am

carleekat

everyone up here that I have talked to..some of the editorials... jaws dropped over the kennedy thing

8:28 am

Aloyisius

hello, whisper..

8:28 am

carleekat

hi inge... ( she's TRYING to lurk )

8:29 am

Whisper66

hi aloy

8:29 am

Scarlet

Hi, inge... how are YOUR politics in Detroit? I read that the "girlfriend" has "retired"... LOL

8:29 am

carleekat

mayor is giving a speech at 7:30 pm today

8:29 am

Scarlet

Hi, Whisper! Welcome to the madding world...

8:30 am

Whisper66

Hi scarlet

8:30 am

Scarlet

This should prove VERY intersting, kattie... what a can of eels that affair is...

8:30 am

Whisper66

has anyone finished the grid today?

8:30 am

carleekat

hi there whisper...

8:30 am

Whisper66

hi carlee :)

8:30 am

carleekat

well..when people lie about their personal life..it usually comes back to bite u in the tookus

8:30 am

Scarlet

Many of us will finish it, Whisper... we are seriously addicted to this thing... and when we start, we HAVE to finish...

8:31 am

Aloyisius

ouch, wouldn'

8:31 am

Aloyisius

t want a bite in MY tookus!

8:31 am

hurshy

But carlee, the American democratic system, the whole idea is that people use their words (preferably not their money) to influence people to vote for the candidate they think is best. I don’t think that people who are influential (and thoughtful on such issues) should refrain from participating in that.

8:31 am

Whisper66

i`m sooo confused..........have a word that IS in the dictionary, but it won`t accept it when I type it in. It says it is NOT in the dictionary!!

8:32 am

Aloyisius

happens all the time with Enable, whisper.. sorry..

8:32 am

Judi

Ha! Welcome to Babble, Whisper. That happens sometimes.

8:32 am

Scarlet

Whisper, welcome to the arbitrary world of Enable...

8:32 am

Aloyisius

you can tell us what it is since it is not accepted

8:32 am

Whisper66

lol hi Judi

8:32 am

Whisper66

bbl...................

8:33 am

Scarlet

Well, we DO have a word that describes many hippies from the 60s... LOL

8:33 am

EvaNadine

*pops into chatlog*
any babblers familiar with microsoft photo editor?

8:33 am

Scarlet

**Disappears when techie talk starts**

8:34 am

Aloyisius

don't use it, sorry Eva

8:34 am

EvaNadine

just trying to smudge the edges of an image, and cant get the smudge tool to activate. :/

8:35 am

hurshy

did you read the 'help'? sometimes it actually does help.

8:35 am

carleekat

i understand that hursh... and ultimately those who care and those who don't and those who understand and those who pretend to...should all come out in the wash at the end... all i am saying is... that particular recommendation from the "royal family" of the US was... shocking... especially this early in the primary season...( at least wait until super tuesday )... before the convention..fine...but.. I guess is reminscent of kennedy's election itself

8:35 am

EvaNadine

yeah, read it, and it just says to click on the icon. but the icon isnt activated....
*hrmmmm*

8:38 am

hurshy

i don't think it was shocking. and i don't think it would be shocking coming from anyone. and i do think it would be more influential coming from donald trump or julia roberts or a host of others than from caroline kennedy

8:38 am

carleekat

like oprah?

8:39 am

hurshy

well oprah yes and no, she's influential, but there's probably a lot of people going "it's because of race" in that case.

8:39 am

mom23

I'm not particularly swayed by anyone's endorsement of a candidate. Oprah, Caroline, etc. Frankly, those endorsements scare because there are so many folks that just follow and don't bother looking beyond a face and celebrity.

8:40 am

hurshy

but you don't, mom, so maybe other people don't either :) maybe we are too pessimistic. and maybe the people who would vote in that manner are the people who don't end up bothering to vote at all.

8:41 am

carleekat

( that pretty much what I am saying... such a strong political..iconic family...of a president who was controversial....and apopulace who is sympathetic due to untimely deaths in the family...the responce up here...has been... shock...at this point hursh..i am the messenger of how that was perceived up here..from a distance

8:48 am

mom23

I wish folks would get away from "party loyalty". I'm glad, at least locally, they did away with the "party" lever. Make those narrow-minded folks actually fill in individual votes! And why can't candidates just talk about what they're hoping to do and tout their own agenda and not be so nasty to/about their opponents? Proof of mentality is that you-know-who was voted in a second time. His appearance on TV, etc., brings out the worst in me!

8:49 am

carleekat

( that why am sad edwards bowing out..he seemed to rise above the squabbling of clinton/ obama... he is decent )

8:50 am

mom23

OK, I'm off my soap box. On to the grid! My BP's rising! Later, kids!

8:50 am

Aloyisius

bye, mom.. (-:

8:50 am

carleekat

bye mom

8:51 am

Scarlet

Kattie... we depart philosophies on him... he lied to John Kerry and told him he would NOT run again, and they are "divorced" in a very public squabble... then Kerry threw his support to Mr. Obama... he has created some of the most curious commercials... with his parents... not touching... just STANDING there, posing... very distant, very cold and clinical... I am all about character... and his has revealed itself to be wanting... dearly.

8:52 am

hurshy

it's just that shock is such a strong word, it seems to imply a judgment that she shouldn't have done it... and some of the other words like "scary" and "worry" - also strong words... bush is scary. i'm not sure any of the current candidates rise to that level.

8:54 am

snags

just an opinion, most elected officials go into office with a clean slate, but come out mostly soiled by the dirty politics going on in Washington

8:54 am

carleekat

u've been privy to the commercials... we will start to see the commercials up here this week....... and am just saying how especialy the 50-60 yr olds up here who lived throughthe kennedy era... good and bad have responded..the word shock..is being bandied about up here

8:54 am

carleekat

true enough snags....

8:54 am

snags

A clean politican can not accomplish anything

8:54 am

Scarlet

HI, snags... they learn the game inside the Beltway...

8:55 am

Judi

Speaking of politics... phantom word: enema.

8:55 am

snags

exactly

8:55 am

what we need is a clean sweep of all politicians

Hello all

periwinkle

help with en7 and en8 please

Judi

See, I say "enema" and Peri shows up. What are the odds??

8:56 am

snags

Ok, I am done whinning about the politics of this Country

8:56 am

periwinkle

??? I have been here, just avoiding the political discussion

8:56 am

Aloyisius

bottom of the page in a book, peri... you will find them there, or sometimes in the back of the book

8:56 am

Scarlet

Kattie... I lived through the Kennedy era, and it was painful... not a JFK fan, even in retrospect... but, he brought a fresh touch to American politics, and his Catholocism became a non-issue... the comparisons are telling... he had no foreign policy experience either, and the Bay of Pigs nearly cost us our country...

8:57 am

Judi

;-). Me too, Peri. Trying to bring about a change of subject off politics.

8:57 am

periwinkle

doh, thanks Aloy, they have been in the grid before,just couldn't see them

8:57 am

godthaab

Exactly. Why do people think a kennedy backing is good?

8:57 am

Aloyisius

(-:, yw purple blur..

8:58 am

hurshy

i didn't think it was so much that "a kennedy backing" was good, i thought what she said was true, that's all. he IS inspiring.

8:59 am

hurshy

bay of pigs was a groupthink problem - whoever is president will need to be careful to avoid that, as it can happen to any group.

9:00 am

Scarlet

We were living in Venezuela then, and we held our breath collectively... it was all prelude to one of the darkest times in our nation's history...

9:00 am

hurshy

i'm not really a kennedy fan myself.

9:02 am

Scarlet

godthaab, the name is still evocative of the illusory "Camelot" public realtions' coup... it still carries a great deal of clout... unfortunately.

9:03 am

godthaab

I guess people only remember the good things about politicians, especially after 40 years.

9:04 am

hurshy

i mean, i've been an obama fan for 4 years, ever since i heard him speak at the DNC... so, i already thought he was inspiring.

9:04 am

Scarlet

Somehow the negatives are part of the revisionist recollections...

9:04 am

carleekat

( me too hurshy..was why I have bought his books )

9:05 am

Scarlet

Into the grid! We will solve absolutely nothing here in chat... LOL

9:05 am

Aloyisius

have to say the same thing happened to me, hurshy.. when I heard him in 2004, gave me chilly bumps of a very good kind.. i knew he was very special..

9:06 am

snags

Scarlet you are correct, but we have the freedom to express our opinions........ and may we keep our freedoms......... amen

9:06 am

yes back to the grid let's! :)

Hi kids

9:40 am

stidmama

that would be reasonable Aloyisius -- built in like that... I guess around here they are still thinking about how things were 30 years ago. But winters have been getting progressively more stormy and snowy... *sigh* global warming may be, but it means worse weather for us.

11:07 am

Anniebrook

I bet my hovering over you and GC gave me away

11:08 am

Haz1558

Making a statement Jasmine?

11:14 am

Uniquity

Where did Ata go, anyway?

11:40 am

torgone

Wahey .. Almost half way ..

11:40 am

Haz1558

FMitch, you hold her down and I'll search her. Someone who sits on a throne wouldn't say 'Wussup'. I suspect an interloper.....

11:40 am

FMitch

oo Im going to put an owl in the PB somewhere

11:40 am

Haz1558

Hello torgone!

11:40 am

FMitch

Big give away, you're right Haz.

11:41 am

Vicuna

Ha ha, Haz, she can't hold me down when she's gluing owls in her picture!

11:41 am

torgone

Heya Haz!

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

fm, now you KNOW i am never in the pb. except deliberately when hungry : )

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

hi tor!

11:41 am

Vicuna

Actually, Haz, I was trying to cultivate a more folksy image to cultivate the populist vote.

11:41 am

Vicuna

I admit, it's a stretch.

11:41 am

Haz1558

Good to see you again torgone - they've not sussed you out at work?

11:42 am

FMitch

Oh you will want to be in this one TO, it's the new and imroved version. GeorgeC is in there already.

11:42 am

dcseain

howdy, torgone

11:42 am

Haz1558

Well, Vicuna, there's folksy and there's plain wrong.

11:42 am

Vicuna

lol, Haz. Our politicians clearly need your help!

11:42 am

torgone

Still under the radar Haz .. Heyas vic, dc, TO ..

11:43 am

Haz1558

Don't they just, Vicuna!

11:43 am

Vicuna

But please forget I mentioned the word "politics." I peeked in earlier today and it was intense.

11:43 am

Vicuna

Hello, tor! nice to see you're finally productive at work again!

11:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, I was reading back in the chat log.

11:43 am

FMitch

Hell tor

11:43 am

torgone

:^)

11:44 am

Vicuna

Sheesh, FM, no need to cuss at the man!

11:44 am

Haz1558

So what image are YOU going for, FM?

11:44 am

dcseain

sigh, cat wants cracers, but only the bits with rosemary on them.

11:44 am

FMitch

I don't need one, Im in my hidey cupboard

11:44 am

Haz1558

Fussy feline.

11:45 am

Vicuna

Is rosemary related to catnip, I wonder?

11:45 am

dcseain

i don't think rosemary is a mint - it's woody

11:45 am

dcseain

and winter-hardy, at least here

11:45 am

Haz1558

Second cousins twice removed on the sister-in-law's side.

11:45 am

dcseain

several homes have roemary hedges, lovely fragrant

11:46 am

Vicuna

That's true, not a mint.

11:46 am

FMitch

Weee dc's spelling is worse than mine today (and thats saying something)!

11:46 am

Haz1558

You ARE having a typo day, dc. Are you feeling well enough?

11:47 am

dcseain

i've been ill for several day.

11:47 am

FMitch

Aw, all cast your sympathy voes ... now!

11:47 am

Haz1558

Ah - I knew it!

11:47 am

dcseain

11:47 am

Haz1558

Sympathy vote for dc.

11:58 am

Vicuna

Sounds lovely, dcseain.

11:58 am

Haz1558

That's good arwenn.

11:58 am

Haz1558

But if it's tropical, how can we see Montreal shovelling snow with his fedora?

11:59 am

Haz1558

Not that he uses the fedora as a shovel, you understand.

11:59 am

72 Temple Owl

no way! my hair would go into frizz overtime.

11:59 am

Vicuna

Owls don't have hair, silly.

11:59 am

dcseain

11:59 am

FMitch

Ah I forgot about Monty, he is still under my desk somewhere.

11:59 am

72 Temple Owl

well, then, my FEATHERS will frizz LOL

11:59 am

Haz1558

It'll need to be like the Eden project, FM. I think we will soon abandon the grid in order to brainstorm the PB.

11:59 am

Vicuna

lol, Haz. I think Montreal could be visible through the glass.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

That's true. A conservatory with a view to the snowy wastes outside?

12:00 pm

carleekat

( needs chocolate... i replenished the chocolate )

12:00 pm

FMitch

LOL he could be a snowman

12:00 pm

periwinkle

FM for some reason I am having trouble changing my icon back to a picture of me, would you use the flower for now

12:01 pm

Vicuna

Did I see the words "need chocolate?" Be right back...

12:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

peri, i though you *were* a flower LOL

12:01 pm

FMitch

Haz1558

You know, if you build a garden extension, FM, there SHOULD be room for a hot tub.

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Smarties in the UK are along the lines of M&M's, while Smarties in the US are along the lines of Sweet Tarts.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Hello Katie.

periwinkle

I like dark chocolate

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

periwinkle

Someone sent me smarties from the UK

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Well, don't ever associate me with something called tarts. I have my reputation to think of....

12:06 pm

nbjasmine

thanks, vicuna, i was confused. didn't see the love of the sweet tarts. but chocolate, now........

12:06 pm

FMitch

You're not a tart dear, a trollop possibly but not a tart.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Do you mean words or pictures, FM, for the white strip?

12:06 pm

OrangeCat

12:07 pm

KatieMcG

12:08 pm

FMitch

but they are in the hexagonal tube, Haz is a purist.

12:08 pm

Vicuna

12:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

12:08 pm

periwinkle

12:09 pm

carleekat

12:10 pm

Vicuna

There IS someplace like one no7.

12:10 pm

bbnaz

12:10 pm

carleekat

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Whimpering beats snorting, though.

12:10 pm

Scarlet

Yes, yes I have, FM... it has been one of those days...

12:10 pm

Scarlet

Later, kattie...have a ball!

12:10 pm

Krista

I've got five in a row..5,6,7,8..need to buy cards..one goes to England - I always forget my husband's gmother...funny how he never gets any grief for forgetting his Nan's bday, but I, who met her once, get the flack..but I digress

12:23 pm

candycane7

don't forget ground hog day;Punxsutawney Phil

12:23 pm

krista -- its because we are females, and thus, supposed to remember these things...

12:24 pm

dcseain

ah, N of Crofton, my bad.

12:24 pm

KatieMcG

I wouldn't mind but I am really really rubbish about remembering things like that!!

12:24 pm

dcseain

LOL krista

12:24 pm

Krista

Bye FM!

12:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, i know it's abrand name, but it is sliding into generic, like aspirin did once

12:36 pm

Krista

Are you having an existential crisis, nb? I like your icon! Black is my favorite absence of color.

12:36 pm

dcseain

i agree, gwen, along with xerox, and probably google.

12:36 pm

bbnaz

woot only 94 left to find

12:37 pm

grant

other no -change second consonant to second consonant

12:37 pm

dcseain

black is supersaturation of color, not abscence.

12:37 pm

phaeton

grant, how do i change second to second?

12:37 pm

Krista

I stand corrected. Another one of those lies taught in school.

12:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

google is already in some dictionaries, verb and so forth

12:38 pm

dcseain

listserve is another one

12:38 pm

grant

a*iou is 2nd cond

12:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but i will never ever use kleenex to mean tissue! LOL

12:38 pm

phaeton

grant that's a vowel

12:38 pm

dcseain

grant, you mean 2nd vowel?

12:39 pm

dcseain

kleenex is the generic term herebouts.

12:39 pm

Krista

I think resend should be a word, too, given the proliferation of email. But the re words are a can of worms, aren't they.

12:39 pm

nbjasmine

krista- constantly

12:39 pm

nbjasmine

my whole life is an existential dilemma

12:39 pm

grant

oops, sorry, yes

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and a hoover? another unwise brand-name-gone-generic

12:39 pm

Krista

That's funny, Gwen..I won't use that either! But I'll say Band-Aid.

12:40 pm

dcseain

true, gwen.

12:40 pm

phaeton

Grant, can you reclue that?

12:40 pm

dcseain

band-aid, yes.

12:40 pm

Krista

Sorry to hear that, nb. ;)

12:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

adhesive bandage, you mean LOL

12:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i think we should genericize wal-mart to mean cheap plastic crap made overseas by slave labor

12:41 pm

nbjasmine

its not so bad. one gets used to it, lol

12:41 pm

Krista

Uh...have to get back to cleaning...friend in from Seattle..having him for dinner and need to find the table!!

1:07 pm

Anniebrook

peri, the first two years of the Sopranos is well worth the watch

1:07 pm

Scarlet

I also enjoy "Criminal Minds"... I happen to really enjoy abnormal psychology...

1:07 pm

periwinkle

maybe Curb your Enthusiasm

1:07 pm

dcseain

no offense intended, but what is it that straight people get from Eddie Izzard? I find him okay, sometimes very funny, but not all that, and that's true for most gay people i know, too.

1:07 pm

Uneaixoise

you know he's not gay, right?

1:07 pm

dcseain

yes, une

1:07 pm

Scarlet

Seriously, dc... I had no idea that he is gay... I thought that his flamboyance was part of his schtick...

1:07 pm

carleekat

( no idea who eddie izzard is sorry dc )

1:08 pm

periwinkle

don't know eddie izzard either

1:08 pm

Scarlet

Okay, Une... glad that's cleared up...

1:08 pm

Fishbulb

1:09 pm

carleekat

1:09 pm

lynxxx

Hi Une, was beginning to think it was only on in Aust. DC - just really good acting in this show, with just the right amount of twisty humor, not bad looking either

1:09 pm

periwinkle

I don

1:09 pm

dcseain

he's not gay, scarlet, but all the people i know who are into him are straight; most gays i know, myself included, don't find him all that worthwhile on a regular basis.

1:09 pm

periwinkle

I do not have cable

1:09 pm

biggusdickus

tv is poison

1:09 pm

dcseain
