2:02 am

Just1Mar

2:03 am

moonwoof

Hmm. I guess I would put her in the soft rock category, album wise. We met her at the Montreal Folk Festival.

2:04 am

Just1Mar

Folk Fest or Jazz Fest? (Don't know of a folk fest here)

2:04 am

moonwoof

I dont know that she's done too much, recently, but she had a radio song in the US about a decade ago.

2:05 am

moonwoof

Opps. You're right. I always get the Winnepeg Folk and Montreal Jazz twisted around...

2:05 am

moonwoof

Montreal Jazz.

2:05 am

Just1Mar

moonwoof

2:37 am

Just1Mar

I have it but thought you had to finish the grid to access it?

2:38 am

sprite

yes, that is true

2:39 am

moonwoof

Or you have to wait until it gets posted to the "past videos" link page

2:39 am

Just1Mar

where is that?

2:39 am

Just1Mar

I'm on babble expert right now ...don't see that...

2:53 am

2:54 am

Marmar

Hi everyone!

2:54 am

moonwoof

Hiya Marmar

2:54 am

sprite

hi Marmar! *hug*

2:54 am

Just1Mar

well I'm just thrilled when I can get at least 1/2 the grid without lickety's list and then another 1/3 with it...rarely finish tho...

2:54 am

Just1Mar

Hey MarMar my namesake! heheh

2:55 am

Marmar

I know, I was thinking about that the other day too! I could be called two mars...

2:55 am

sprite

but you started playing Babble when all the help was already available, Mar. I started when all we had was the grid, and an occasional first letter list from someone who was kind enough to make it, and a rare clue in the chat.

2:55 am

sprite

mar the to 2nd degree ;)

2:55 am

Marmar

Are you a Mary Just1?

2:56 am

Just1Mar

no I'm a Marianne

2:56 am

Just1Mar

but everyone calls me Mar

2:57 am

Marmar

I worked at an office for a while where there was already a Mary and I instantly became "MaryMary"...

2:57 am

sprite

LOLOL

2:57 am

Just1Mar

cute!!

2:58 am

Just1Mar

well sprite I have been playing word games for a while but I guess my brains have tight limits heheh

2:58 am

Marmar

Sprite, where did your on screen name come from?

2:58 am

pinkhatlil

sprite i remember playing babble like that, i would spend time reading thru the dictionary just to complete

2:58 am

sprite

from the fairy like beings

Hah! and Marcus thinks it's because she like the drink Sprite!

2:59 am

Marmar

Hello Xanika!

2:59 am

Xanika

Just1Mar

Hi and almost bye Xanika

I have been called a softdrink ever since I started with the nic

Thank you, well.

3:00 am

getting ready to get dressed and get some laundry done, Xanika

3:00 am

Just1Mar

well and frustrated with this grid lol

3:00 am

sprite

*hugs pink* You are so quiet, darling... you ok?

3:01 am

Just1Mar

woofy, how many you still need to get?

3:02 am

moonwoof

I still need 42

3:02 am

moonwoof

But I'm on a small streak I think

3:02 am

Just1Mar

are you on eastern time?

3:03 am

moonwoof

Nope. arizona is it's own special little time zone... it's 2am here

3:03 am

sprite

woof... you should check msn... it is hilarious

3:03 am

Just1Mar

ie 4 am?

3:03 am

Just1Mar

awww so it's early there lol

3:04 am

sprite

it is NIGHT there... LOL

3:04 am

pinkhatlil

im fine sprite, thanks for asking. im just finding the grid a little challenging thats all *hugs* you always make me feel welcome and valued on here!

3:04 am

Just1Mar

I know spritey but considering it's 2 hours earlier than me, it's early

3:05 am

sprite

that's 'cause you ARE, pink.

3:05 am

Just1Mar

You are such a sweet soul spritey!

3:05 am

sprite

more of an impish or spritely one, Mar, but thanks ;)

3:06 am

pinkhatlil

she is Mar, a very special lady indeed!!

3:07 am

Just1Mar

yes for sure and it is so not fair that such fine people have to suffer so much :(

3:08 am

sprite

now you got me blushing! And I am also blessed, you know. With a loving husband, 2 great kids who are well and happy, and great friends. Life isn't that bad ;)

3:08 am

Just1Mar

It breaks my heart to listen to some here bi*tch and moan about their superficial bs problems

3:08 am

Just1Mar

well that is so nice to hear spritey

3:09 am

Marmar

Don't you have to believe that those who suffer here and now will be rewarded later...especially such dear ones like Sprite?

3:09 am

sprite

well, it is hard to judge someone else's troubles when you are not in their shoes. What to us sounds like bs can be very ha4 on them.

3:10 am

pinkhatlil

i agree sprite!

3:10 am

Just1Mar

Well I would like to think so MarMar but to be honest, no I don't think that :(

3:10 am

Just1Mar

That is extremely generous of you spritey@

3:11 am

sprite

also, sometimes little things can be just too much. I know I have b*tched and nagged about my car breaking down again, and that is for sure a little thing, compared to what others go through. But it bugged me big time atm.

3:12 am

Just1Mar

I know but when someone is not physically well, how can those around groan about their little problems.....but then that's just me.

3:13 am

sprite

that's not generous, Mar, that is the simple truth. We see only such a small part of what others feel and experience.

3:13 am

moonwoof

Personally, I'm not fond of any bitching... sometimes venting is one thing, but dweeling cna be quite another, imo.

3:13 am

moonwoof

dwelling even =P

3:14 am

Just1Mar

I agree moon

3:14 am

Just1Mar

Maybe it's just youth that doesn't realize how lucky they really are.

3:15 am

Marmar

Anyway Mar That's what keeps me going. I can't believe that all the suffering in the world is pointless. The good news is we were all brought together here for many reasons, for support, companionship, fun... and now, without complaining, I am going to go clean the kids' rooms. My husband mentioned it looked like a bomb exploded in their closets...

3:15 am

moonwoof

I firmly believe that I shouldnt sweat the small stuff, and as long as I'm on the right side of the dirt, it's ALL small stuff =)

3:15 am

sprite

I think venting is very important. And as someone not physically well, I can honestly say that I am really interested in what others tell and vent. I don't often feel it is less than MY sh*t. If it affects you, vent it, no matter how small it is or seems. Little things can connect to much bigger ones without us realising it.

3:15 am

sprite

didn't you tell him that is how kid's rooms are supposed to look, Marmar? ;)

3:16 am

sprite

I like your philosophy, woof :) But you already knew that.

3:16 am

moonwoof

All very true, but also very subjective. And online that can be a fine line to tread, sometimes, I think.

3:16 am

Just1Mar

MarMar, I only have one kid but to look at his room you'd think I had a dozen

3:16 am

Marmar

Sprite, he is sometimes very unrealistic...

3:16 am

Marmar

...and German!

3:16 am

moonwoof

I dont know that it's youth, tho, Just... I'm not all that old.

3:17 am

moonwoof

And if you ask others they'll tell you I'm downright juvenile =D

3:17 am

Just1Mar

heheh@thewoofster!

3:18 am

Marmar

OK you all, take care of yourselves, have a great day and I hope to see you tomorrow!!!

3:18 am

Just1Mar

but I agree with you woof and methinks we're on the same page there for sure

3:18 am

moonwoof

You too, Mar. Good luck with the kids rooms =)

3:19 am

Just1Mar

bye bye MarMar my namesake! :)

3:19 am

Marmar

Mar, I can tell you, the more kids there are, the easier it gets! I'm one of seven kids and my mom said after the 4th, she didn't notice any difference in her housework! Byeall!!!!

3:19 am

sprite

bye Marmar, have a great day!

3:20 am

Marmar

I mean: Bye all!!

3:20 am

Just1Mar

hillary

lo6/18?

3:21 am

Just1Mar

Think I'm gonna pack it in too, fine people. It just ain't happening for me this grid

3:22 am

sprite

but I will admit that I have learned to stay away from people who like it when there are fights. That is the only time I just look away and pretend they are not there. Some people are impossible to please, they hate you when you talk with them and they hate you when you don't. I have learned to let those people go.

3:22 am

sprite

bye Mar, have a good one

3:23 am

5:02 am

Atalante

awwww poor maddison :(

5:03 am

mrpresident

she cried her eyes out today... a friend came over and told her some awful things that a girl (considered her best friend) said about her during her absence... very distressing and not helping the healing process.
I had to give her a sleeping aid tonight and get her to talk to a therapist over the phone

5:03 am

5:06 am

mrpresident

yes they are infern, but maddison is not... she is so distressed and can't believe the nasty attitude (which by the way comes from the mother of this particular child). I wanted to throttle the mother, but I took the high road

Good morning/afternoon all.

6:44 am

Uniquity

Heya Haz

6:45 am

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity - nice to see you!

6:45 am

Uniquity

How're things? I haven't been chatting much lately

6:46 am

Haz1558

Not chatting much? Have you been adopting my low profile rule?

6:46 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, thanks. I had a busy week decorating etc but things are a bit more back to normal.

6:46 am

Uniquity

I've mostly been busy...Trying to squeeze in babble before first class is tricky!
What were you decorating for?

6:46 am

Haz1558

That's until I decide to do something else.

6:47 am

Haz1558

We had decided to change a downstairs bedroom/study into a living room/study. I did the painting and wallpapering.

6:48 am

Haz1558

Others are commissioned to make the curtains - I'll hang them, but that's my limit.

6:48 am

Uniquity

I love home decoration..so refreshing.

6:49 am

Haz1558

It's great when it's done - my least favourite bit is the painting of the ceiling but I quite like wallpapering.

6:50 am

Haz1558

Never trust these home decoration tv shows that show rooms magically transformed in the blink of an eye.

6:50 am

Uniquity

I've never wallpapered before..Not really a fan of wallpaper, but I love painting! Not the ceiling though, ugh

6:51 am

carleekat

good day to you hazel..and morning * squirting grapefruit at uniquity*

6:51 am

Haz1558

There are some fabulous wallpapers around at the minute. I wouldn't attempt a hall/stairs/landing.

6:51 am

Haz1558

Hello carlee.

6:51 am

Uniquity

Mm, grapefruit juice, banana and poptarts...

6:52 am

Becca Lorum

hi everyone

6:52 am

Scrabbler

Hello everyone. 15 degrees F here and I had to bring garbage and recyclables to the end of the driveway. Brrrr

6:52 am

carleekat

the worst wallpapering job i did was my mum's bathroom... 4 sheets of paper...took us 5 hours..the pattern was horrid to find

6:52 am

Haz1558

Hello Becca and Scrabbler!

6:53 am

Becca Lorum

we're going to start decorating nursery this weekend - wallpaper stripping to do first :o(

6:53 am

Uniquity

-11 C here...not looking forward to the outside

6:53 am

hjule

I'll take that 15, and give you sleet snow rain mix

6:53 am

Scrabbler

I have never wallpapered and never plan too. I do want to make a stencil design and paint my hallway to look like a forest.

6:53 am

Uniquity

wallpaper stripping is good only with a steamer

6:53 am

Angelsong

Haz, I love decorating also. I actually used fabric shower curtains for window curtains throughout our home. The end result is quite attractive.

6:53 am

carleekat

same here scrabs..BUT... ( I have 4 level side split with grade entrance on lower level..and that the room my computer in... ) the back door didn't get shut properly after a quick trip out to watch eclpise and my room is FROZEN....thermostat up a level...

6:53 am

Scrabbler

Beccaa--your arms will be aching after that for a few days.

6:53 am

Haz1558

The match in this paper was 21 inches so I had to have 3 or 4 rolls on the go to minimise wastage. The paper looks like faint writing, but it's impossible to make out.

6:54 am

Scrabbler

hjule--where are you?

6:54 am

carleekat

the back door stood OPEN all night..my poor cats are running around here tryign to warm up

6:54 am

Becca Lorum

yeah - but i'm hoping hubby does most of it!

6:54 am

Haz1558

Yes, Becca - steamer is the way to go with wallpaper stripping. But be sure to keep the windows open!

6:54 am

Scrabbler

Angelsong

my cat is so funny. She loves being petted, but does not like to be held. And I think she senses I am right handed. So she comes to my left side, and stands on her hind legs with her forepaws on my wheel, waiting for me to pet her. If I don't notice her, she will pat my arm with her paw or shove her nose under my arm so that I know she's there and will pet her.

7:15 am

carleekat

You're welcome!

9:02 am

Uneaixoise

my babygirl's coming home for a quick visit in March . . . yay yay yay!!!

9:02 am

Uneaixoise

just rec'd her itinerary LOL

9:03 am

Scarlet

**big grin, Une** It is like a national holiday when that happens.

9:03 am

Uneaixoise

yes!!

9:04 am

Scarlet

Loved your icon yesterday... thank you for mailing it to me, Une... Isn't this the daughter who is double majoring for a (two) master's degrees?

9:05 am

Uneaixoise

yep, finishes master's no. 1 in May, does internship in Casper Wyoming this summer, then starts master's no. 2 this fall --probably in Ann Arbor

9:05 am

Scarlet

What a wonderful mind, Une... what is her concentration?

9:05 am

Uneaixoise

so fortunate that boyfriend telecommutes!

9:06 am

Scarlet

Excellent, Une... that is a mother's dream...

9:06 am

pinkhatlil

icon testing

9:06 am

Scarlet

Hi, pink!

9:06 am

Uneaixoise

well, she's gone from an undergrad double major in French and anthropology to looking to eventually get a position with a university library (library science)

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

actually I think it's now "library science and information technology" or some such :-)

9:07 am

pinkhatlil

Hi Scarlet...im going again byeee!!

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

hi and bye, pink!

9:08 am

Scarlet

Nice discipline, Une... I am so happy to see young people being attracted to anthropology... we learn the basics of our roots for, perhaps, more understanding of what we are now...

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

in the beginning I was picturing an Indiana Jones scenario but it was actually social anthro LOL

9:09 am

Scarlet

I remember the derision from others when college folks majored in library science... they're crying in their cheap beer now, because it is a happening field...

9:09 am

Scarlet

Oh... even more intriguing...

9:09 am

Uneaixoise

I used to work with a guy who said that , with a double major in anthro and French, she could get a job as . . . a professional dinner companion LOL

9:09 am

Uneaixoise

so true, scarlet!

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

like her mom, she's very into words, language, etc.

9:10 am

Scarlet

OH! The beast! Did you apply the appropriate ear cuffing to that person?

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

ok, sorry to hog the chat . . . i'll stop now

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

actually it was pretty funny

9:11 am

Scarlet

I have to go **shudder** shop now too... ice storm a-coming!

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

it was at a time when the prevailing wisdom was to go into business

9:11 am

12:13 pm

i think what was more unfortunate was that he wasnt BORN James James....
he originally had a different surname, but when he was very young was adopted by his stepfather, so they CHANGED his name to that!

Did he get called Jimmy James?

sorry seain

12:56 pm

bethn

oh no dc , i'm sorry that you're still unwell. sending good thoughts your way

12:56 pm

dcseain

ty, all. though i think the prescription cough medicine will help a lot.

12:57 pm

dcseain

and i AM doing better today, and plan to go back to work Monday. I have a guest arriving tomorrow, so need to clean at some point

12:59 pm

bethn

dc, i know this will sound odd,but if the migraine is not one one th absolutely critical ones, ( mine tend to come in varying degrees), try putting feet in very hot water with vicks or some camphor/mentholated rub on temples. it seems to knock back the pain. if you were my russian baba, i'd tell you to tie an old rag around your head too. she swore by that

1:01 pm

dcseain

hm. the cough is impacting my left optical nerve, which is where the headaches are situated

1:01 pm

dcseain

though i will add that to a file i keep of useful things to do/try :)

1:02 pm

bethn

dr said there is actually some scientific value, the hot water draws blood away from head so not so much pressure

1:05 pm

dcseain

oh, nifty, that makes sense. things like this is how i learn about anatomy and physiology :)

1:07 pm

bethn

you seem to have a very broad base of knowledge dc. like you i like to learn something new

1:33 pm

jillibus

Didn't have time last night to gather words, and just got back today from early morning appointments and shopping, so still have 197 words to find, tra la!

1:33 pm

praise2him

1:33 pm

praise2him

or a sauce to put on fish

1:33 pm

bethn

also sounds like the white sauce you put on fried fish

1:34 pm

jessmom

1:34 pm

Scarlet

Hi, all! Beth, you're on a great roll... can you please lead me to the AR8/40... I am getting bald trying to make it make any sense.

1:34 pm

Merk

ok, I have my thinking cap on.

1:34 pm

jessmom

1:34 pm

jillibus

People use ta sauce with fish, but remove the central consonant

1:34 pm

1:58 pm

Scarlet

Hi, Ata, LadyN and MamaWa!! Was deep in the grid!

1:58 pm

jillibus

natts, did you have the right address?

1:58 pm

MaMaWA

I cant make my icon work , black box in chat and something else i profile

1:58 pm

MaMaWA

*in

1:58 pm

LadyNatts

took it off the "icon themes" web page... even typed the + sign

1:59 pm

jillibus

mama, it's not a black box in my chat!

1:59 pm

praise2him

I can see your icon MaMaWA

1:59 pm

Scarlet

Lady, I sent in a few, and it took nearly a week for them to be put on the list... maybe Babs has them and is busy with other things right now!

1:59 pm

MaMaWA

What do you see Praise?

1:59 pm

LadyNatts

it was more than two weeks ago, I'm sure

1:59 pm

praise2him

it is a dog

O good Im glad you can see her

2:00 pm

MaMaWA

2:00 pm

MaMaWA

wonder why I cant see it

2:00 pm

LadyNatts

did you try ctrl f5? (refresh)?

2:00 pm

jillibus

did you put babble in the subject line?

2:00 pm

praise2him

did you refresh page MaMa?

2:01 pm

LadyNatts

I am sure I put babble icon theme suggestions in the subject line

2:01 pm

LadyNatts

but I've never sent any in before... perhaps it ended up in her junkmail

2:01 pm

MaMaWA

yes to refresh and no to babble

2:02 pm

MaMaWA

I'll be back

2:02 pm

LadyNatts

I had researched special days for several countries... had a theme for a certain day each month

2:02 pm

Scarlet

Make yourself feel better, Lady, and resend once again...

2:02 pm

LadyNatts

I don't think I have the e-mail anymore (I don't save sent messages out of hotmail)... and I don't know where I put the list where I wrote them down.

2:03 pm

Scarlet

kssi 1515 + Babble [ AT ] g mail [DOT] c om (do type the '+' sign)

2:03 pm

LadyNatts

Cinco de Mayo (Mexico)... Russia Day... India Independence day... another for Germany, and so on

2:04 pm

Scarlet

They sound like wonderful themes, Lady... don't let it go.

2:04 pm

Scarlet

Did you type it: kssi1515+Babble@gmail.com

2:04 pm

jillibus

and, natts, did you include Canada's Flag Day (Feb 15?) which I think should be a national holiday

2:06 pm

LadyNatts

yes, scarlet, and no, jilli... there was already a theme for that day when I sent in my suggestions... I did ask for Canada Day (July 1)

2:06 pm

Scarlet

Nice one, jilli... ours is June 14, but other than seeing a decreasing number of American flags in front of homes, it is not very well respected.

2:06 pm

jillibus

natts, why don't you send babs another email and ask her if she got your themes? They really do sound great.

2:07 pm

debjed

i'm back from lunch. walked and climbed stairs (32 flights) for an hour. now i can sit with you guys and chat and maybe pick up a few words here and there:)

2:07 pm

Scarlet

Wow, deb... did you do that for exercise, or is a big, furry creature chasing you?

2:07 pm

debjed

help with the co6.21?

2:07 pm

LadyNatts

oh my deb... I'm exhausted just thinking about your lunch break

2:07 pm

jillibus

scarlet, we don't have a holiday in February and lots of people want one. Flag Day is made to order, it seems to me!

2:07 pm

debjed

big, furry creature:) hee hee

2:08 pm

Scarlet

**giggle**

2:08 pm

Scarlet

I agree, jilli... I think that it should be honored, truly honored.

2:08 pm

LadyNatts

jilli... we have a holiday in February (Alberta)... they are talking about making it national. It's called Family Day... and it was just this Monday.

2:09 pm

jillibus

I must go and get some lunch. This grid is a stinker IMHO

2:09 pm

MaMaWA

Ok I fnally got icon to change on profile page for me

2:09 pm

LadyNatts

gotta go send some e-mail... brb

2:10 pm

MaMaWA

but still looks like black box on chat

2:10 pm

jillibus

Scarlet, some provinces have Family Day in February -- I think people have forgotten about Falg Day, which commemorates the first time the new Canadian flag was flown in 1965.

2:10 pm

jillibus

yes, I know, natts, and I think Flag Day is a better reason.

2:11 pm

MaMaWA

oh well maybe its because its dark backround going back to grid

2:11 pm

debjed

co6,21?, anyone?

2:11 pm

jillibus

mama, it's changed in my chat -- cute little beagle face

2:12 pm

OUr country, sadly jilli, has short-term memory... The afternoon of September 11, 2001, the city was awash with American Flags... and it lasted until the next spring... then: nothing. Very sad.

2:25 pm

yes deb, we took him to a specialist, they recommended radiation but only gave it a 30% chance of helping him, at the cost of many thaousands of dollars, after already costing several thousand in tests. that was 18 mos ago. we have been treating him with herbals since

2:50 pm

Scarlet

You have always been good, deb...we ALL get better!

2:50 pm

lynxxx

We had a good downpour of ra** and cooler temps, but stilll seems to heat up fast

2:51 pm

debjed

thanks lynxxx, i didn't even have that easy 4 yet:)

2:51 pm

Scarlet

Lynxxx... I saw news clips and a little here in the states about the nation apologizing to the aboriginal tribes... I am not certain why, though? Is it on par with our mistreatment of the Native Americans?

2:52 pm

Scarlet

LOL, deb.

2:54 pm

Scarlet

Oh! Just found my last 8, a NO 8/40... by monkey radar.

2:55 pm

debjed

that would be one of the 8's i need, could you clue it, please?

2:55 pm

lynxxx

Unfortunately in the 50s some well meaning people decided to take babies and small children from their families so that they could get a better education, upbringing etc. (placed with white families). They are called the stolen generation. This is the formal apology to all aboriginal families that have been effected for this appalling lack of judgement

2:56 pm

Scarlet

*Gasp* I had no idea lynxxx! Oh, my dear lord... what happened to those who were "stolen"? Were they returned to their families or did they seek their culture again?

2:59 pm

lynxxx

They were not returned but a lot rediscovered their families when they were adults. They were brought as part of their white families, certainly no obvious mistreatment, but you can imagine how they felt as they grew into adulthood.

3:00 pm

Atalante

oooo a clue for the no8 pls, scarletta?

3:00 pm

Scarlet

I can barely muster a thought from their hearts, lynxxx... this is an awful blight on history... not unlike our internment of Japanese/Americans during the panic following the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

3:01 pm

Scarlet

Ms. Ata: those who put an official stamp on legal documents!

3:01 pm

Atalante

oh! duh! TY!

3:01 pm

3:02 pm

Atalante

there;s been a lot in the news about the aboriginal babies - one was brought up in Ireland and has recently travelled back to Aus to meet their parents

3:02 pm

chic

hi there is an excellent Aussie movie called the 'Rabbit Fence" taht tells the story of the abo. children..

3:02 pm

Atalante

Rabbit Proof Fence

3:02 pm

Scarlet

I cannot imagine the dichotomy of privilege vs the tribal culture shock...this is a very shocking situation...

3:02 pm

chic

that's the one, Ata. thanx

3:02 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, chic... I have to know more about this...

3:03 pm

Atalante

watch that film, Scarlet. Its amazing

3:03 pm

Scarlet

I will check with a film supplier... is it a documentary?

3:03 pm

lynxxx

Scarlet...I am not trying to excuse what the whites did, but I can understand their actions which were well intentioned. A large portion of aboriginals live in their traditional manner which would be seen by many to be seriously disadvataged.

3:04 pm

Atalante

its "fiction". but based on reality

3:04 pm

chic

a similar thing was done to our own Native American children in order to assimulate them into white society.. It eventualy backfired as well.

3:04 pm

Scarlet

I can see that side of it, lynxxx, but, in retrospect, it is what you called it before: appalling. I will watch the movie and learn. Before I do that, I will research it on the 'net tonight.

3:05 pm

Atalante

it is appalling looking back on it. but at the time, as lynxxx said, there was at least a goodwill to help the children

3:07 pm

Atalante

Another, not so shocking movie that was purely delightful to me was "Whale Rider"... what an insight to the Maoiri tribes...

3:07 pm

lynxxx

debjed

3:09 pm

Atalante

I'm very bad at just wtaching films. I usually have to draw, read, whatever at the same time. But Blood Diamond - I just watched it in silence all the way through

3:09 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Lynxxx, Ata and Chic... this has been an extremely worthwhile conversation. I am very glad to have had an intelligent, tender, and human "take" on the apology.

3:09 pm

mirandapan

Hi, everyone--re: Whale Rider: we have a Maori prof in our dept who teaches "Whale Rider" frequently; he says the book is much different, however. Toad teaches polynesian lit.

3:12 pm

dcseain

stid, i had a hangover when i was 19, accidentally, and again when i was 20, on purpose, just te be certain i never wanted to do that again, and i've not since.

3:12 pm

stidmama

3:12 pm

debjed

Hi all new people that popped up:)

3:12 pm

LuvB

3:12 pm

mirandapan

** Toa--not toad

3:13 pm

dcseain

cough is causing the migraines

3:13 pm

dcseain

so i exect it will

3:13 pm

stidmama

I've never had a hangover... but having migraines is enough to convince me that I don't want to see how they compare!

3:13 pm

mirandapan

Hi deb, Stid--dc, sorry you're still sick. I'm home sick myself--which is why I'm on at this time.

3:13 pm

debjed

dcseain

hangovers are worse, IMHO

3:14 pm

dcseain

1st ra6?

3:14 pm

3:15 pm

stidmama

3:15 pm

dcseain

3:15 pm

mirandapan

True--half our faculty is out--and many students. I DID have my flu shot.

3:15 pm

Krista

3:18 pm

3:18 pm

mirandapan

3:18 pm

Krista

3:18 pm

dcseain

3:18 pm

dcseain

Lucky lady. I don't believe that the local colleges, including the massive UNC campus, has such a diverse criteria.

3:18 pm

Krista

well, I'm glad you can..no gaming this week for you, then?

3:19 pm

Scarlet

Gosh, rae... she was just a child in that movie... now she is a mama... I am getting way too old, way too fast... LOL

3:21 pm

mirandapan

Keisha Castle-Hughes--is 18, from Australia, actually (just looked her up)

3:22 pm

Scarlet

She was a natural in that film!

3:22 pm

mirandapan

Oh, sorry--she's 17 if she hasn't had a b-day this year yet

3:22 pm

Fiber Art

Opal Dream is good too

3:22 pm

stidmama

hello fiber art! Long time no see! any new quilts lately?

3:22 pm

Krista

Thanks, Deb! Bubba recommended the first one months ago, and I haven't watched it yet!

3:22 pm

Scarlet

Never heard of it, Fiber... what is the central plot?

3:22 pm

tracymoo

Since when is "quandries" (as I frequently have more than one) NOT a word?

3:23 pm

Fiber Art

Australian, but not about Aborigines

3:23 pm

Atalante

too right, tracy!

3:23 pm

Krista

Hope you have a great time, Seain. Don't cough too much during the concert..they will think there is a 5th sax!

3:23 pm

mirandapan

quandaries, Tracy--I tried it, too

3:23 pm

stidmama

it should be there tracy, not sure why it doesn't count

3:23 pm

dcseain

i'll be taking the medicine just before the show at dinner

3:23 pm

Fiber Art

Opal miners in Australia, dirt scrabble, child with fantasy playmate who is killed (the fantasy playmate, that is)

3:23 pm

stidmama

oh fiddle. LOL thanks miranda!

3:23 pm

tracymoo

thanks miranda - just a rant on my part I guess

3:24 pm

Scarlet

Arcane and interesting, Fiber. Thank you.

3:24 pm

Krista

Oh, I know that music! (all things considered intro)

3:24 pm

Fiber Art

I LOVE movies

3:24 pm

Scarlet

We do too, Fiber... but my taste has really changed through the years.

3:24 pm

Krista

was thinking they were clarinets

3:25 pm

stidmama

well, I need/want to do some sewing... back later tonight to get a few more. up to 88 already!

3:25 pm

Fiber Art

Mine, too. I look at a movie I've seen before, and often wonder why I liked it the first time

3:25 pm

Scarlet

Later, stid!

3:25 pm

arwennn

93 words and I'm stuck.

3:26 pm

Krista

and, on the flip side, have you ever warmed up to a movie you hated before?

3:26 pm

Fiber Art

No, if I hated it once, it doesn't get another go!

3:26 pm

Scarlet

My taste, for the all-time favorites, has not changed: the best is the GodFather trilogy; Apocalypse Now and Braveheart... many below that standard, but I keep hoping I will be blown away again...

3:27 pm

Krista

I'm usually the same, Fiber Art, but I've watched a few with hubby and have "seen them through his eyes" and found a new appreciation.

3:27 pm

Krista

Eric sick..bbl

3:27 pm

Scarlet

Not exactly, Krista... I LOVE bad movies though... like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...but: I walked out on Snakes on a Plane...the very worst waste of $8 in my life!

3:27 pm

Fiber Art

I should be more open minded!

3:27 pm

icepyro

some movies are so bad I like them because I hate them so much.. or if its just a borderline dislike I will sometimes come around

3:28 pm

Atalante

I loved Snakes on a Plane! Its so stupidly silly

3:28 pm

dcseain

i enjoyed the silly stupidity of snakes on a plane

3:28 pm

Scarlet

Ata... it was SO bad that even my twisted appreciation couldn't find a kind word...

3:28 pm

arwennn

the worst movie EVER made: Vampiyaz

3:28 pm

Fiber Art

Those are the ones that they play at midnight...hmm, what are some titles?

3:28 pm

arwennn

I swear the budget for that movie must have been $50

3:29 pm

icepyro

I got a kick out of Jesus Christ: Vampire Killer

3:29 pm

Scarlet

icepro... I watched "Reefer Madness'" a few weeks ago, and that was despicable... I love it

3:29 pm

dcseain

Bikini Babes at the All Night Bowl-A-Rama on the Moon!

3:29 pm

icepyro

ven tho all my friends fell asleep or went home duiring it

3:29 pm

dcseain

3:29 pm

Scarlet

Rocky HOrror Picture Show!! I LOVE that one...

3:29 pm

icepyro

that was a good one scarlet

3:29 pm

Fiber Art

How about Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

3:29 pm

Scarlet

The original, dc...

3:29 pm

arwennn

my friend bought Vampiyaz for $1 on amazon.com

3:29 pm

Atalante

I love bad films. Not as much as I love bad books though

3:29 pm

arwennn

ROCKY HORROR!!! yay for tim curry in drag

3:29 pm

Fiber Art

Oh, right! Rocky Horror Picture Show!! What's not to love?

3:29 pm

Scarlet

Sure, Fiber... so bad/good.

3:30 pm

dcseain

The original Reefer Maddness is scary and despicable, the newer one - the musical - is a silly, fun parody of the original.

3:30 pm

icepyro

I can say that I have never finished any book i deem 'bad'

3:30 pm

dcseain

me eithery, pyro. i hate Dune

3:30 pm

Fiber Art

I love to read, but have no patience for bad writing or bad plotting

3:30 pm

Atalante

bad, no. hysterically funnily bad, yes

3:30 pm

Scarlet

Never saw the newer version, DC... will check it out.

3:31 pm

Scarlet

In the genre of What the heck is this: I have fallen in love with Donnie Darko... have seen it about seven times and will watch again.

3:31 pm

icepyro

there are books that I liked because they made me think a little or there was some concept I wanted to see through, but didnt particularly like anything about the book otherwise

3:31 pm

LuvB

help lo6, pls

3:32 pm

Fiber Art

trucks? LuvB?

3:32 pm

Atalante

3:32 pm

LuvB

don't get it

3:33 pm

arwennn

help with the ao's please?

3:33 pm

Scarlet

I read it.... only because it was the sensation... not so. It was muddled, inane and convoluted past any comprehension...

3:33 pm

Fiber Art

british trucks

3:33 pm

Scarlet

Arwenn... look at your heart.

3:34 pm

Atalante

I;ve read the first chapter and just laughed. And couldn't actually continue

3:34 pm

Fiber Art

I read the DVC, agree it wasn't a good book, but I got caught up in it

3:34 pm

Scarlet

The Catholic Church was not amused.

3:34 pm

Scarlet

I finished it, Fiber, and was sorely annoyed by the ending...

3:34 pm

dcseain

Angels & Demons was better than DVC

3:35 pm

icepyro

I watched the movie but havent read the book

3:35 pm

Fiber Art

It didn't make him as much money!

3:35 pm

Scarlet

That was pre-DVC right, DC?

3:35 pm

Atalante

Angels and Demons was actually quite good

3:35 pm

arwennn

ohhh thanks scarlet... i didn't look in that direction

3:35 pm

icepyro

brb

3:35 pm

Scarlet

Never saw the movie...

3:35 pm

dcseain

yes, scarlet, DVC is the sequel

3:35 pm

Scarlet

LOL, arwennn... glad you found it!

3:35 pm

raelite

I really enjoyed A+D can't wait for the movie!

3:36 pm

icepyro

wow can honestly say I havent really heard of that one

3:36 pm

Atalante

DIgital Fortress was laughable scientifically but a fun story

3:36 pm

Scarlet

Well, I'll have to check this one out... I hesitated because the snot-factor on NPR was way over-the-top anti A&D...

3:37 pm

raelite

it's a fun read, much more well-written that DVC

3:37 pm

dcseain

it's pop-religion and what, scarlet, but pleasant

3:37 pm

LuvB

help with na9

3:37 pm

debjed

help with the lo5,12, Please?

3:37 pm

dcseain

and has some lovely scenic descriptinos in it

3:37 pm

Scarlet

Then, with such glowing recommendations, I shall read it, DC, Ata and rae!

3:38 pm

Atalante

lol glowing might be a bit over the top. But its certainly better than DVC

3:38 pm

LuvB

add a consonant to lo4, above it

3:38 pm

Scarlet

NA + short word for inky body art + bodies are dispolsed of in cremat****

3:39 pm

3:56 pm

Atalante

3:56 pm

Scarlet

Wow... bonus feature! I am happy that beloved went online and found it!

Atalante

hi hodag!

3:58 pm

debjed

hi Hodag

3:58 pm

Scarlet

Thank you for the wonderful idea to go to the library, deb.... I just would not have thought of it! Viewing that movie, DC... aboriginal background

3:59 pm

dcseain

wonderful, i need to see it, too

3:59 pm

debjed

i have a copy on hold too

3:59 pm

P.J.

HEY SCARLET< dcand deb!

4:00 pm

debjed

funny thing is, I just got a library card, this will be the first use.

4:00 pm

Scarlet

This is on the heels of some staggering information that I asked for about the Australian apology to the aboriginal tribes and wow... was I amazed at the truth of thematter.

4:00 pm

Scarlet

Yea, deb... I am feeling quite satisfied now... thanks to you!

4:00 pm

dcseain

in some ways worse than our post-Indian Wars treatment of natives.

4:01 pm

dcseain

Hawai'i was smart to insist on state control of natives, and keeping BIA out.

4:01 pm

Scarlet

It would seem so, DC... and I alluded to another shameful chapter in our nations'

4:02 pm

Scarlet

history of the internment of Japanese/Americans following the panic, post Dec. 7 at Pearl Harbor.

4:03 pm

dcseain

that is a very shameful part of our national history, as was Massive Resistance here in Virginia

4:03 pm

Scarlet

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, just finished it two months ago...

4:03 pm

P.J.

The sun feels wonderful even though it is only 27 out now!! ;-)

4:03 pm

dcseain

good read? i've not read it.

4:04 pm

Scarlet

Virginia has some terrible chapters in its history... not a good read, per se, DC, but tremendously informative... well done for the subject matter.

4:04 pm

Scarlet

Hodag... for 27 degrees, I would put on my walking shorts!!

4:04 pm

dcseain

gotcha, and yes we have, scarlet.

4:05 pm

dcseain

keep want nictate

4:05 pm

Scarlet

Gosh, I still have 11 left to find... by the way, DC... have you taken the narcotic cough suppressant, and has it taken effect yet?

4:05 pm

jillibus

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

jill??

5:41 pm

MaMaWA

every time I go to Llist the game goes away

5:41 pm

jillibus

mamawa, if you get Babble Expert you don't have to switch between screens or put words in the wrong box

5:41 pm

herinfernallady

You mean licketys list up? I find that i put licketys list up in a separate window is a great idea. You can minimise it so you can still see it

5:41 pm

MLFAN17

mama and i lose the words i entire sometimes

5:41 pm

MLFAN17

enter

5:41 pm

MaMaWA

is Expert nto same as pro

5:41 pm

herinfernallady

i.e This window open and a new window next to this with the list on it. MLF you may need to clean out your cookies on your pc

5:41 pm

dcseain

i kept licket's narrowed to just list off to right, and babble, slightly narrowed, to left

5:41 pm

MLFAN17

jill one of the no 7's is a plural of the 6 /18

5:42 pm

MaMaWA

Not?

5:42 pm

herinfernallady

Yes it is Mama. You may have a problem as mine sometimes flickers too

5:42 pm

dcseain

expert is an app from LicketySplit that leverages his list and pro.

5:43 pm

jillibus

no mamawa, it puts everything on one page and it's free -- Lickety prefers that you be pro to get it because that's supporting DrG who made this for our pleasure. To get BabbleExpert, just email Lickety and he will send it to you with an explanation.

5:43 pm

MaMaWA

Oh ok ty all for that help

5:43 pm

herinfernallady

Jill i admire your patience :D
