GroovyKiwi

im loving it absolutely loving it

12:49 am

GroovyKiwi

i have learnt their accounting package already and already shown the boss something he didnt know lol

12:50 am

GroovyKiwi

AND what the most shocking thing is from what the other staff tell me is that he is teaching me how to do all the invoicing - he does it all himself - has never shown ANYONE else and the others cant get over that im to do them all now lol

12:50 am

GroovyKiwi

and the best bit (so far) is NO STRESS !! lol

12:51 am

lynxxx

that all sounds great Kiwi ! I'm very happy for you

12:52 am

GroovyKiwi

its so funny- he comes out to tell me to envelope up all the invoices ive done and put them in the out tray = goes to grab them and realises ive already done them all - it was so funny to see his face when he realised

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

kiwi, what a wonderful vote of confidence from a new boss! sounds like you have truly found your niche!

12:54 am

GroovyKiwi

i truly think so ive got so much to offer him but hes very distracted at the moment as his wife is in hospital so the last two days hes only been there half a day each and is worried im not getting enough training

12:54 am

justafreep

fireworks!

12:54 am

GroovyKiwi

so i told him to let me do the stock taking hes worried hasnt been done while i dont have anything else to do while hes away and ive done a 1/4 of that already for him - so hopefully that will help take a load off

jillibus

2:12 am

Jandy

It's tough out there, herin...

2:12 am

jillibus

oh darn, herin!

2:12 am

Jandy

Hi jilli... I think it's one of those grids!

2:12 am

herinfernallady

yep

2:13 am

sprite

Jandy: we went through hell yesterday. They tried to take a sample from the fluid, but couldn't. After that my husband was in so much pain that he couldn't sit still for a second and was cold as ice.

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Poor Hubby Sprite

2:13 am

Jandy

Poor thing, I'm so sorry to hear that. And no nearer to really knowing what's going on?

2:13 am

lynxxx

But its only been one weekend Infernal, you'll find one

2:13 am

pinkhatlil

morning babble land!!!

2:13 am

jillibus

Oh, I missed something, sprite! What happened to hubby?

2:13 am

lynxxx

Hi Pink

2:13 am

Jandy

Morning, pink!

2:14 am

sprite

nope, we have to wait for the results of the blood test now, and then they will decide what to do further.

2:14 am

sprite

hi pink

2:14 am

jillibus

hi pink

2:14 am

lynxxx

Could they do anything for the pain Sprite?

2:14 am

herinfernallady

Yes but i wanted it but now we know what they want we are photo copying everything and sticking it in a folder and putting it in the car when we house look

2:14 am

herinfernallady

HI PINNNNNK

2:14 am

pinkhatlil

hello lynxxx, jandy, sprite, and jilli!!

2:14 am

herinfernallady

Hugs all round

2:14 am

Jandy

Oh Sprite, I do hope they come up with an answer soon. Knowing what you're dealing with is half the battle.

2:14 am

pinkhatlil

hey herin!!

2:15 am

sprite

jilli: we thought my husband suffered from gout, but they think it might be something else, so he is seeing a specialist now. We spend half of yesterday in the ER to have them take a sample from the fluid inside his insanely swollen foot, but they couldn't get it.

2:15 am

Jandy

That will save you a lot of time wasting herin... although you ight fall in love with something and forget all the criteria!

2:16 am

jillibus

herin, are those skulls in your necklace?

2:16 am

sprite

lynxxx: I phoned the emergency doctor and refused to take no for an answer. So they finally admitted I could give him a combination of painkillers that took care of both the gouty pain and the pain of poking needles in his joints.

2:16 am

flosey

oh sprite, how painful that must be

2:16 am

flosey

oh sprite, how painful that must be

2:16 am

herinfernallady

waves

2:16 am

jillibus

omg, sprite! I do remember now you had said he had gout

2:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

2:18 am

lynxxx

bye Flosey

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Night Flosey and Gwen

2:19 am

Jandy

The new term here is "sleep hygiene" and they say you should only do two things in bed. Neither of them are Babble!

2:19 am

herinfernallady

pfft. since i rarely do either of those things Jandy Babble is great for bed

2:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

only two things? apart from sex you mean? LOL

2:19 am

Jandy

Grin.

2:20 am

sprite

sex isn't confined to bed of course

2:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, eat crackers and fart? (did i say that? omg)

2:20 am

sprite

GWEN!!!!

2:20 am

Jandy

This guy was on the other day and was from another plantet. No eating, no reading, no watching TV, no farting (Gwen is a bad influence!)

2:20 am

jillibus

tsk tsk!

2:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

how can you not fart in bed? come ON

2:21 am

Jandy

In his dreams (no pun intended!)

2:21 am

sprite

well, let the man have a nice and hygienic sleep in his pristine bed. Alone. Forever.

2:21 am

herinfernallady

SPRITE :D

2:22 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:22 am

Jandy

Indeed. As they say about the ultra-healthy lifestyle "You may not actually live together, you'll just feel like you did!"

2:22 am

Jandy

Not together, forever!!!!

2:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

what, you s'posed to get out of bed, fart, then get back in bed, or what? LOL

2:22 am

Jandy

That was a Freudian slip if ever there was one!

2:22 am

herinfernallady

My b.f and i have been together for 4 years and we still sleep under separate blankets sometimes.

2:23 am

sprite

indeed so, Jandy! LOL.

2:23 am

Jandy

We have friends who have been married 23 years and he gets out of bed, goes out into the hall and does it at her insistence. She just doesn't do it at all.

2:23 am

lynxxx

so if we call them dutch ovens, what do the Dutch call them - Sprite?

2:23 am

sprite

lady, my love and I sleep in separate beds. But there is nothing we don't do in those beds... or elsewhere.

2:23 am

herinfernallady

I have my fave blankie and i love sleeping under it. Its mine and no one elses. OH and cute i have to tell you about the very first real date we had

2:23 am

Jandy

And weirdly, I believe her...

2:23 am

Book Doctor Gwen

lynx, german!

2:24 am

sprite

lol lynxxx... and what ARE dutch ovens?

2:24 am

Jandy

LOL lynxxx.

2:24 am

Jandy

Go lynxxx, explain that one!

2:24 am

lynxxx

a dutch oven is when you fa** and quickly pull the blanket up over your partners head

2:25 am

herinfernallady

He slept under one blanket and me under another in one bed. He was a great gentleman. No funny business.

2:25 am

sprite

hahahahahahahahaha.... omg lynxxx, we just don't DO that!

2:25 am

Jandy

That was a very promising start, herin

2:25 am

sprite

that is sweet, lady

2:25 am

Jandy

Well, mostly it's people under twenty who think it's funny.

2:26 am

Jandy

Or women under twenty and men under sixty-two...

2:26 am

lynxxx

2:26 am

2:26 am

Jandy

But that could be said for a lot of things, couldn't it..

2:27 am

Jandy

But he had an excuse, Gwen, he was losing his faculties...

2:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

jandy, you mean since he got married? yup!!

2:27 am

Jandy

I must say I married a man who would never have done that at any age. But our sons....

2:27 am

sprite

they all have an excuse. They are men. (I did NOT say this)

2:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

we'll never tell, sprite

2:28 am

sprite

*sighs relieved* Thanks Gwen!

2:28 am

Jandy

And we'll never say we agree, either!

2:29 am

sprite

I will claim you never agreed to what I did not say.

2:30 am

Jandy

Our sons used to set fire to them... we never thought of that as teenage girls... or setting fire to anything, actually!

2:30 am

sprite

eeeeeks Jandy

2:30 am

jillibus

set fire to farts?

2:30 am

Jandy

I know... could have been Very Nasty

2:31 am

herinfernallady

It was. I met him on Nov 3rd at a friends birthday and then she set us up for the work party on the 19th it was awesome. We started to date on the 28th Jan 2004 so happy me

2:31 am

herinfernallady

2:31 am

sprite

we have this saying in Dutch: if you bu4 your ar4, you will have to sit on the blisters.

2:31 am

lynxxx

actually lighting a match nr them will get rid of the smell (handy with dogs)

2:32 am

Jandy

I don't know how they haven't all wiped each other out. I would like to say that I didn't SEE this! I learned a lot of things later...

2:32 am

sprite

that is true, lynxxx. But not too close to the ar4.

2:32 am

Jandy

I love a good romance, herin.

2:33 am

Jandy

These two topics are in interesting contrast...

2:33 am

Jandy

No sprite. You could blow their tails

2:33 am

herinfernallady

Sickening but sweet. We still act like new finders

2:33 am

Jandy

off

2:33 am

sprite

lady, so do my love and I. And we are together now like err... 14 years.

2:33 am

Jandy

Stupid keyboard... on the wrong computer!

2:34 am

herinfernallady

2:36 am

Jandy

Night jilli!

2:36 am

jillibus

night all *poof*

2:37 am

herinfernallady

Night Jill

2:37 am

Jandy

I was, of course, a child bride. From the early bride detection kindy program. Bit like they do with elite athletes, you know...

2:37 am

sprite

oh, that is wonderful, Jandy. To have had your talent recognised from the very start!

2:38 am

Jandy

I know. Not everyone could make it!

2:38 am

pinkhatlil

night jilli!

2:38 am

sprite

to the wedding you mean?

2:39 am

herinfernallady

I am watching the Biggest Loser Program and they said that they cant live on $10 a day (Breaky, lunch and tea) each. PFFFT wrong. We live on $200 a fortnight for the 3 of us.

2:39 am

hillary

wu

2:39 am

sprite

hi hillary, wu to you too

2:39 am

Jandy

No sprite, through the program! It was very gruelling. Cooking 101, fibbing tactfully 101, driving drunk men home 101, making something out of whatever that is in the fridge 101, etc.

2:40 am

Jandy

Hi hillary

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Hi HIllary.

2:40 am

hillary

bu

2:40 am

sprite

darling, did you only have to do 101s? I thought the programme entailed much more elevated teachings?

2:40 am

Jandy

And I was only five...

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Jandy can i ask how old you were when you got married?

2:40 am

sprite

well ok, hillary, and a bit of bu too.

2:41 am

Jandy

Just turned 20 herin. I'll be 50 in June, our older son will be 28 a week later and we'll have our 30th anniversary in August.

2:41 am

herinfernallady

Lovely Jandy.

2:41 am

sprite

yayyyy Jandy!

2:41 am

Jandy

Spooky Jandy more like it...

2:42 am

sprite

nope, just wonderful. Must have taken a lot of energy and work to keep your relation strong. I love to hear you did it.

2:43 am

Jandy

We've had our moments, sprite. In fact, we've had our years! But we were both determined to make it work. Sheer bloody-mindedness, sometimes!

2:43 am

sprite

grrrr suburb is a phantom.

2:43 am

Jandy

And now I can't imagine anything else!

2:44 am

Jandy

So is bruiser...

2:44 am

sprite

Jandy, I think that is what it takes. We had our moments too, but we wanted it to work and did everything to make it so. And it is worth it!

2:44 am

herinfernallady

I have found that we make it work

2:45 am

Jandy

It's intellect over emotion but no-one wants to hear that - doesn't make for a flowery card!

2:45 am

sprite

but I want to stipulate that that only works if it comes from both sides. No way you can keep a relation strong by yourself.

2:45 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(glad that the convo has finally turned from farts to romance)

2:46 am

Jandy

Very true. Same effort needed on both sides.

2:46 am

sprite

but it is true, Jandy. But with a healthy respect for the emotions.

2:46 am

sprite

Gwen, I didn't have to turn for that???

2:46 am

lynxxx

and just as I found er4.4

2:46 am

Jandy

Gwen, one wonders how we made that seamless segue... can I link the two together...

2:46 am

sprite

awwww lynxxx (and thanks)

2:47 am

Book Doctor Gwen

then connector is the BED, jandy LOL

2:47 am

Jandy

Both basic human functions; both out of our control sometimes; both embarassing in public if not managed properly; both essential for a health life;

2:47 am

sprite

Jandy, are they ever separated?

2:48 am

herinfernallady

My b.f acts like an idiot in public

2:48 am

Jandy

Aha, Gwen, I think you've got it!

2:49 am

Jandy

I do love that in a man, herin. My husband is an introvert, but my best friend is an idiot who really couldn't care what other people think about him. It's one of the reasons he amuses me so much.

2:49 am

sprite

off topic but still understandable I think: I love this grid, it is funny!

2:49 am

herinfernallady

But its cute.

2:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

on a similar note, how can we prive that the human body was designed by an engineer?

2:50 am

herinfernallady

there is a Japanese Banquet on the telly and im drooling

2:50 am

Jandy

funny? It's doing my head in!

2:50 am

sprite

2:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

prove, i meant . . .

2:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

lynxxx

3:04 am

sprite

Jandy, do you have something like Roosvicee where you live? Rosebud sirop for kids? They have a special one that is extra high on iron and works very well, because iron is better ingested with vitamin C. And never with milk products.

3:05 am

sprite

owwwwww

3:05 am

sprite

crutches! Now where did my mind go... must be the fart discussion earlier... and the recreational zone...

3:05 am

Jandy

4:45 am

herinfernallady

4:47 am

hydra

redturtlehead

Yay Little pink.

4:53 am

Jandy

Excellent! Got your licence through?

4:53 am

pinkhatlil

btw, hello babblers!!

4:54 am

redturtlehead

I very childishly got upset on Sunday night because I was calling J. and he was not answering...he was apparently stressed about his business trip. I spoke to him on monday but now I just feel annoyed. He can;t see how with his past history of not calling how I might just get a tad bit upset.

4:54 am

Jandy

Hello pink. Your excitement is understandable!

4:54 am

hydra

((((((pink))))))

4:54 am

hydra

How are you, ma cherie?

4:55 am

redturtlehead

4:56 am

pinkhatlil

4:56 am

Jandy

Might have to do that awful analytical thing of making lists with the pros and cons...

4:56 am

Jandy

Or you could just drink a bottle of wine and decide!

4:56 am

redturtlehead

LOL Jandy...I still need to complete the interviews, but I think all three would hire.

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Red is it that time of month to be a craby biatch

4:57 am

Jandy

Nice position to be in... an embarassment of riches! Good nurses are short everywhere!

4:57 am

pinkhatlil

4:58 am

BabbleRabble

4:58 am

herinfernallady

Fantastic

4:58 am

redturtlehead

Yes that too... so much going on. But mostly J. has upset me. * has loads of hannah Montana stickers here for lil Pink*

4:59 am

pinkhatlil

herin is your icon of a woman wearing knickers?

4:59 am

redturtlehead

Must go for the moment, a sickie just came along...

5:00 am

Jandy

Very philosophical, herin. I think I might have it made into a bumper sticker. I'd get a lot of toots from women

5:00 am

Jandy

Okay red

5:00 am

herinfernallady

No its a necklace

5:01 am

BabbleRabble

dem bones

5:01 am

herinfernallady

But it does now you look at it look like a sparly g string

5:01 am

Jandy

Hee hee... now you mention it, it's like one of those pics you can look at two ways...

5:01 am

BabbleRabble

rather macabre

5:02 am

Jandy

Your icon today is truly beautiful, BR

5:03 am

BabbleRabble

helps me to feel more normal since I have a point of reference for the things I see

5:03 am

Jandy

I really thought sutee was a word...

5:04 am

Jandy

Did you creat the image?

5:04 am

herinfernallady

hi bable

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Was that at me or Babble?

5:05 am

Jandy

Sorry, bad at that. That was for Babble. I saw your chat before about your interesting jewellery!

5:06 am

JFB

You're not the only one Jandy

5:06 am

BabbleRabble

Satī (Devanagari: सती, the feminine of sat "true") (also suttee)[1] was a funeral practice among some Hindu communities in which a recently-widowed woman would immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre.

5:06 am

Jandy

Excellent, that was even what I thought it meant! Thanks. But not in this grid!

5:07 am

BabbleRabble

I have zilch artistic talent

5:07 am

redturtlehead

ok back. Sore throat.

5:07 am

redturtlehead

Excitement abounds!

5:07 am

Jandy

Pleased to hear it jfb. And discovering that repeated entering does not make it go in!

5:07 am

Jandy

But excellent taste, BR!

5:07 am

Jandy

Phew red... another life saved!

5:08 am

herinfernallady

Ok lost bad multi tasker

5:09 am

redturtlehead

LOL Jandy!!!

5:09 am

Jandy

Sorry herin. Being home sick for a week (as the ultimate extrovert) has made me like someone on speed. But less interesting....

5:10 am

herinfernallady

I am trying to house hunt and its issing me off

5:10 am

Jandy

Red, I think the hardest part of your job must be dealing with the people who come in instead of going to the chemist or the doctor for a minor complaint.

5:11 am

redturtlehead

Well, worst is Mums who do not give panadol to kids and bring them in for panadol...

5:11 am

Jandy

I know herin. It just takes time, sweetie, especially in the Aussie rental market at the moment. One of my sons is moving to Melbourne at the moment.

5:11 am

redturtlehead

You'll find something suitable herin.

5:12 am

Jandy

Red, I just don't get it. Will sit there for hours just to get the same advice a pharmacist could give them. Don't think they've got anything to do.

5:13 am

herinfernallady

Red can they afford it?

5:13 am

Jandy

There was a girl next to me in the waiting room last week who kept going to be sick. Then was eating FRIES while she was waiting, despite the advice from the triage nurse not to eat or drink anything. FRIES@!$@

5:13 am

redturtlehead

People do not pay for Emergency treatment too much in the US, it's about 75% not reimbursed, they come because they know we have to treat them by law.

5:14 am

redturtlehead

and yes, Jandy, I have seen those girls!!!

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear

5:18 am

BabbleRabble

Well, the one on the right was on the bottom and the one in the middle was on the top
and the one on the left got a broken arm and the guy in the rear, said, "Oh dear."

5:19 am

herinfernallady

5:19 am

Jandy

Got me, BR. No idea...

Oh, I see that in EVERY grid, BR... grin

5:37 am

BabbleRabble

5:39 am

Jandy

Oh, that's okay, but I knew just what you meant!

5:39 am

redturtlehead

5:39 am

Jandy

And the orderly vowels are nicely in place!

5:39 am

jakes-mum

bless her we have had some bawling for the last 1/2 hr, now having a bottle so hopefully will nod off

Hi Scarlett

8:02 am

I can relate, Une... it's the most helpless feeling in the world to hear that, and stand by, not being abot to effectively DO anything...

Nose-bleeds since Sunday.

8:04 am

periwinkle

oh? have you called a doctor about that, Scarlet

8:04 am

periwinkle

or seen one for that matter

8:05 am

Scarlet

Not yet, peri. I used to have really bad ones as a child... and had my nose cauterized more times than I can count..

8:05 am

periwinkle

hmm, wonder what causes that?

8:05 am

Scarlet

Right now, we think it's because of the dry heat in the house and the miserable weather... the capillaries just blew up.

8:05 am

periwinkle

could be

8:05 am

periwinkle

do you have a humidifier

8:06 am

Scarlet

The thing that is most difficult to deal with is the metallic taste in my throat. Yes, to the humidifier, and breathing in Vicks' fumes for it.

8:07 am

periwinkle

I agree about the taste

8:07 am

Scarlet

I get annoyed when I have anything wrong with me... I can't say I take good health for granted, but beloved needs me to be in tip-top shape.

8:07 am

periwinkle

(((((Scarlet)))))

8:07 am

periwinkle

yes he does and Phaedra too!!

Scarlet

LOl, peri.. with friends such as these, nothing stays bad for long!

8:11 am

Angelsong

8:16 am

periwinkle

seer

8:16 am

Scarlet

Aloy, you had a fuss and a flurry last year before you left for Thanksgiving in OH. Did your neighborhood and the activism have any impact on the decision, or is it swinging in the wind? Hi, pinkie! :-)

8:17 am

periwinkle

oops

8:17 am

AsGreen

morning all - how's the grid? ooh, and thanks peri!

8:17 am

Scarlet

No PB for peri... she just got up, and her fingers are still asleep! LOL

8:17 am

Scarlet

Hi, asgreen!

8:17 am

periwinkle

thanks Scarlet

8:18 am

Scarlet

:-)

8:18 am

Aloyisius

just read about the conflict in Cape May, NJ... lots of beloved feral kitties there that are taken care of by the townspeople... problem... the World Birding competition also occurs there... some want to relocate the kitties to protect the endangered piping plover, a bird that nests on the beach... but the people rebelled against that option.. a quandry

8:18 am

Scarlet

The grid, oddly enough for all the vowels, asgreen, is fairly simple.

8:18 am

pinkhatlil

hiya peri!!

8:18 am

periwinkle

didn't know about that Aloy

8:18 am

periwinkle

Aloy are you near Cape May

8:18 am

Scarlet

Oh, what a poser, Aloy!

8:19 am

Aloyisius

ooh, the neighborhood has won a temporary reprieve! The mining permit was denied. Alas, the denial is being appealed... over 16 million dollars involved to date..

8:20 am

Scarlet

Drat! Aloy, the mining permit ultimately won out in our old address in Pennsylvania... and they used dynamite... ruined some businesses.

8:20 am

AsGreen

good to see Scar - unfortunately my doorbell rang right when I said hi, so now I need to refocus!

8:21 am

Scarlet

LOl, asgreen... dive in, the water's fine~!

8:23 am

Aloyisius

well, Scarlet... the association keeps on working.. lots happening "behind the scenes"... fortunately, we have the support of some very esteemed experts and some environmental groups. I don't have any illusions that David can slay Goliath in this case, but I do hope we will continue to have some positive results in the development of better permitting parameters.

8:23 am

periwinkle

only have 1 7 letter word, en7 may I have clues for some of the others

8:23 am

periwinkle

8:24 am

Aloyisius

8:25 am

periwinkle

8:25 am

Aloyisius

8:25 am

Scarlet

We are having heavy rains (thank goodness) and thunder and lightning... it's supposed to get very, very windy later on...

8:39 am

Scarlet

RAther, you and me. I am so messed up today! HI, LadyNatts!!

8:40 am

Aloyisius

oh, Scarlet... I do. Think I will post them later on "flicker".. which leads me to ask, is there a way you can save your icon to retrieve it quickly if you change it? I had a devil of a time finding my sunshine after I switched it to a Mia photo...

8:41 am

LadyNatts

8:41 am

8:44 am

Scarlet

Hi, shool... it is very challenging and helpful, if you like trying to find words that you will NEVER use in civilian life... LOL

8:44 am

Aloyisius

lol, shool... you will learn some very unique words.. but for your vocabulary? h'mm, dunno about a working vocabulary..

8:44 am

Scarlet

Shool, it will become more friendly as you learn the off-beat and odd turns to the grid on a daily basis.

8:45 am

Aloyisius

Babble has helped me in competitive Scrabble, tho..

8:45 am

shoolessdwarf

Scarlet

8:47 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers. It was a feel good grid today.

8:47 am

Aloyisius

btw, WELCOME to BabbleLand, shool!

8:48 am

Haz1558

We're anxious to avoid another episode of Scarlet angst over not being greeted. Hello Scarlet!

8:48 am

crpw48

good morning everyone, am liking this grid

8:48 am

AsGreen

hi Lori - you are done? wtg!

8:48 am

Aloyisius

8:48 am

shoolessdwarf

8:48 am

Aloyisius

8:49 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz! Thank you for your attention! HOw are you?

8:49 am

LoriP

Yes as, I was done before I got the kids up for school. Ego boosting grid. ***Hi Scarlet***

8:49 am

crpw48

pluralize----thats why i am liking this grid (lol)

8:49 am

Uniquity

Good morning Scarlet, How have you been Scarlet? Has everyone said hello to you several times yet today? :D

8:49 am

Haz1558

I'm well, thank you, Scarlet.

8:50 am

Aloyisius

hi there, Hazel! good to see you before I go.. am almost finished here, and it has been a fun grid, but funner chat.. (-:

8:50 am

Scarlet

LOL.... I vow: I shall never have another meltdown on the Babbleline again! :-)

8:50 am

lizmac

Hello Scarlet, and everyone else!

8:50 am

AsGreen

wtg Lori - you should be proud! I'm NEVER awake before the kids wake up (my downfall in life)

8:50 am

FMitch

Oh my, can't really stop to long but had to say Hello Scaret *grin*
and afternoon all

8:50 am

Haz1558

I agree, Aloy, a fun grid. Who knows what will happen to the chat now that Lori is here?

8:50 am

Scarlet

LOl, Uni!1 Hello to you. I believe that I shall survive nicely with all of the greetings!

8:51 am

LoriP

as, I'm slowly becoming an insomniac, so Babble fills in the time. LOL

8:51 am

Uniquity

Well, we have to give you extra in case you come back and we are not here...

8:51 am

Haz1558

And hello FMitch and Uniquity. Scarlet, the joke yesterday was that we kept saying hello to you every five seconds, just in case you might be workingup a storm of indignation.

8:51 am

AsGreen

wow Scar, I'm sorry I missed it - it sounds like a doozy! Speaking of doozies...has oh, I'm forgetting who it was...hold on while I think

8:51 am

LoriP

***waves at Scarlet, and wodners if she's still here***

8:52 am

Aloyisius

FMItch !!!!! Thanks for stopping in.. (-:

8:52 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz... I am fulfilled now... and thank you all for the considerations!

8:52 am

FMitch

ROFL

8:52 am

AsGreen

8:52 am

Scarlet

Thank you, FMitch...now I can live life to its very zenith!

8:52 am

LoriP

Hi FM. Scarlet not being here yesterday was your fault ya' know....

8:53 am

FMitch

Hello Aloy and Lori and Haz and isn't babble just so much fun even when you don't "do the grdi"!!

8:53 am

Haz1558

Don't do the grid. Four terrible words.

8:53 am

AsGreen

sheesh, all that and I'm only down to 130 - one word since Merk came on!

8:53 am

FMitch

*grid, just think how many laughs my typing has brought

8:53 am

Uniquity

I haven't started yet...Lori says it's easy, so maybe I should wait til five minutes before the flip?

8:53 am

Haz1558

You'd like the grid. It's a nice grid.

8:53 am

Scarlet

LOL... no, noone's fault... asgreen, my snit was entirely contrived and just plain silly... not a mean bone in my body...

8:54 am

montreal13

Good morning, G'day, Bonjour, Buenos dias, Guten tag dear scarlet !!

8:54 am

Haz1558

He said hello, Scarlet!

8:54 am

Aloyisius

Babble is a blast! well, unless you are snubbed in chat, lol.. and sooner or later, I think we all feel that way. Some Babblers, believe it or not, actually get engrossed in the grid!

8:54 am

movieman

That bloody fly is back again!!!!!

8:54 am

montreal13

lol already...

8:54 am

Haz1558

We can relax. No meltdown.

8:54 am

AsGreen

no, I realize that Scar - it was the other one - it reminded me of the serious one from last week....anyway...

8:54 am

FMitch

Bonjour monty ca va?

8:54 am

Scarlet

LOL... Good day to thee, dear Lucien! I am complete now... LOL

8:54 am

Aloyisius

swat 'em, mm!

8:55 am

montreal13

Oscars are over ??

8:55 am

LoriP

Grid? What is this grid Aloy speaks of? G'd morning monty

8:55 am

Uniquity

What's an Oscar? Can we melt it? :)

8:55 am

Haz1558

They're saying the Oscars were dull. Next year, Babble will be televised.

8:55 am

FMitch

I had hear rumours of people being grid engrossed but have never met onw...

8:56 am

Scarlet

Oscars are history, Luc... no more Bette Davis, no more Joan Crawford... nor John Wayne...

8:56 am

montreal13

bonjour FM, ça va bien merci - hi hazel, Lori, Uni, Aloy et al

8:56 am

FMitch

well that puts nude babbling out the window, and do we really have to prettyfy up to babble for the cameras, sigh

8:56 am

Haz1558

Bonjour montreal. (If le francais is good enough for FM, it's good enough for me)

8:57 am

montreal13

prettyfy... nice ring to that FM

8:57 am

Haz1558

You've got a head start, FMitch - that red dress!

8:57 am

Aloyisius

egads, I may have to get a new pair of PJ's if Babble is televised!

8:57 am

AsGreen

****starts doing situps****

8:57 am

montreal13

lol hazel

8:57 am

FMitch

I will make a cardboard cutout and hide behind it then

8:57 am

Aloyisius

gold lame' pjs

8:58 am

FMitch

LOL

8:58 am

Scarlet

It was a slog, Haz... the Oscars... although I thought you looked smashing on George's arm... Your dress was the smash of the evening... unlike Ms. Swinton's... which looked like a Hefty bag with one arm missing...

8:58 am

Uniquity

If we're gonna have to televise babble, I think there might be a lot of blurred out sections!

8:58 am

LoriP

Esprit would be nekkid, so that'd can the family rating right there. I'll put a bag over my head, and wear my best sweatpants.

8:58 am

AsGreen

omg that dress - was it finished?

8:58 am

Haz1558

Tilda Swinton is eccentric - that dress was unspeakable in its awfulness.

8:58 am

Aloyisius

LOL, Scarlet...

8:59 am

Scarlet

Hideous

8:59 am

Uniquity

Did you people actually watch the Oscars? I watched Firty Jobs and Jon and Kate +8! :)

8:59 am

Haz1558

At least we'd know montreal by the fedora. It will set a new trend for red carpet fashion.

8:59 am

AsGreen

phone again...and potty...gtg bbs

8:59 am

Aloyisius

so much material... wasted

8:59 am

movieman

If Babble is televised, at least everyone will know what the average 30 year old speccy Chelsea supporter looks like.......

8:59 am

montreal13

about Ms Swinton, i thought that, what with her orange hair and black dress, give her a broom and it's Halloween all over again !

8:59 am

Uniquity

**Dirty Jobs, not firty :)

8:59 am

Haz1558

I watched the news report on the Oscars. I wouldn't be able to sit through the whole thing.

9:00 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

9:00 am

Haz1558

MM - would you wear your Chelsea shirt to a black tie event?

9:00 am

Scarlet

The possiblities are endless for televising Babble... LOL, Luc... it was a terrible moment in a program which is supposed to focus on glamour and beauty...

9:00 am

Haz1558

Good morning EvaNadine - we're discussing Babble being televised in place of the Oscars.

9:00 am

Aloyisius

hi Eva!

9:00 am

FMitch

I see the build up to The Eurovision song contest is starting. *Passes mic to Haz* any comments regarding ireland entry ... a singing duck or turkey?

9:00 am

movieman

Almost certainly, Haz, and my Chelsea cap, and I'd be waving my Chelsea flag

9:01 am

EvaNadine

kinda like how the oscars televised Wii Tennis?
heh

9:01 am

montreal13

i only watched about 15 minutes of Oscar night... that was my limit...

9:01 am

LoriP

G'd morning Eva

9:01 am

Uniquity

Or being televised in place of all the bad shows out there...

9:01 am

montreal13

good morning Eva !

9:01 am

FMitch

EvaN!! you finally woke up!

9:01 am

Haz1558

Then we'd be fools not to know who you were, MM.

9:02 am

Scarlet

We watched for a bit... but had to switch to Dexter at 10... televsion is really crummy lately... (for, oh, about 25 years)

9:02 am

EvaNadine

FM -- i slept for 12 hours again last night -- too much sleep, and i dont feel the slightest bit rested!

9:02 am

Scarlet

Hi, Eva!!

9:02 am

FMitch

and Ishult would be waving his West Ham flag

9:02 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, do you have a DVD player?

9:02 am

Uniquity

Hey there Scarlet, there are some shows in the 90s that are good! X-Files, Fresh Prince, The Nanny! :)

9:02 am

FMitch

EvaN thats 'cos you snoozed for so long in the log!

9:03 am

movieman

Along with Friends and Buffy, Une

9:03 am

EvaNadine

i WAS rather snoozy yesterday!

9:03 am

montreal13

i'll go along with you there Uni but only as far as the X-Files...

9:03 am

Scarlet

X-Files remains one of my all-time favorites, Uni... the writing was brilliant.

9:03 am

Haz1558

I don't like to ask, but did she drool, FMitch?

9:04 am

Scarlet

Yes, Haz...w e joined the 21st century last year.

9:04 am

FMitch

ALL over the place and just would not wake up

9:04 am

Haz1558

That's good, Scarlet. I want to e-mail you about something I think you'd enjoy.

9:04 am

EvaNadine

i couldnt help it! work was so booooooooooooooooring!!

9:04 am

LoriP

**sits quietly in back of room, behaving properly***

9:05 am

Haz1558

Did Sleeping Beauty drool, do you suppose?

9:05 am

montreal13

that's unusual for Lori...

9:05 am

Scarlet

Thank you, Haz. Sounds intriguing. Is that OUR Lori, BEHAVING herself? The end is nigh.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

done, done... and I must run. Ciao for now, dear Babblers... see you next grid. (-:

9:05 am

Haz1558

(If Annie is here, she needs to watch Lori. Acting out of character)

9:05 am

movieman

Congrats, Aloy, and seeya!!!!!

9:05 am

montreal13

bye Aloy see you tomorrow !

9:05 am

FMitch

Congrats and Bye Aloy

9:06 am

Scarlet

Yahoo for Aloy! Be well, smile often and do a kindness for a stranger!

9:06 am

Haz1558

Bye Aloy!

9:06 am

LoriP

Congrats Aloy. have a good one!

9:06 am

Aloyisius

PS: Scarlet, I'll try to post some pics later on my profile page.. thanks for the idea.. (-:

9:06 am

FMitch

Lori are you plotting something?

9:06 am

Scarlet

You're welcome, Aloy... see you soon!

9:07 am

Scarlet

FMitch... I think you're on to something here...

9:07 am

Uniquity

MM, just noticed the Friends and Buffy. I have rewatched every season of each. i might have bad tv tasyte, but I <3 them!!

9:07 am

LoriP

***Lori was not the second gunman on the grassy knoll***

9:07 am

Scarlet

I think that the Nova Scotia Gang is going to pull something tonight during the great debate....

9:07 am

Haz1558

But where were you on the night of August 31 1997?

9:07 am

FMitch

Was that a Tuesday Haz?

9:08 am

movieman

I have every season of Buffy, Friends, X-Files, Angel on DVD

9:08 am

Haz1558

No, it was a Sunday.

9:08 am

LoriP

I washome, watching TV. Alone.

9:08 am

Atalante

*flops*

9:08 am

Scarlet

With your bottle of rum, no doubt... Hi, Ata!

9:08 am

LoriP

G'd morning floppy Ata!

9:08 am

montreal13

hi there Ata

9:08 am

movieman

Along with every episode of Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers etc

9:08 am

Haz1558

Anybody to verify that? It's just that Mr Al Fayed would like to know.

9:08 am

FMitch

Hey Ata

9:09 am

Atalante

are we back to whether FM killed Princess Di?

9:09 am

Uniquity

I am two seasons short on xfiles (the doggett years, getting them soon), friend of mine has all the friends (i've been watching for the last few weeks). Buffy...I have a couple, but borrowed a lot. I LOVE rewatching 90s shows!

9:09 am

montreal13

will check the week-day for that date bbs

9:09 am

Haz1558

Hello Atalante. I suppose you realise how restrained I've been on not mentioning an orange person especialy when bu4/7 is in the grid.

9:09 am

LoriP

Well, the men in black were in their usual spot, at the end of the driveway. they can vouch for me.....

9:09 am

FMitch

I hope Not, it wasn't that interesting the first time!

9:09 am

Scarlet

Speaking of which, Lucien... where were YOU?

9:09 am

EvaNadine

hints for the lower, solo R?

9:10 am

Atalante

was that the day Di died?

9:10 am

Atalante

I know where I was!

9:10 am

Haz1558

Yes - at least if my memory serves me correctly.

9:10 am

movieman

More like a flower, Eva

9:10 am

montreal13

it was a sunday

9:10 am

EvaNadine

thanks MM. :)

9:10 am

Haz1558

ro6 - being of pinker hue

9:10 am

movieman

yw Eva

9:10 am

Haz1558

Was I right, or was I right?

9:11 am

montreal13

was in Paris scarlet, driving a motorcycle...

9:11 am

Uniquity

I was probably in my room reading a book...i'm clear :) hehe

9:11 am

LoriP

ro 6 is what my cheeks are, after a nice nip of rum. er, coffee

9:11 am

Atalante

I was working at the University of Milan. and staying up at Lake Como in the house of the palaeo prof's mother. and I didn't hear about Di until about 2 days after it happened when I randomly phoned my mother up and she just started crying down the phone at me. I thought something important had happened. But only Di

9:11 am

FMitch

Talking words inthe grid, I see that ar4 is in the grid.
I know a certain player who must be lost today not being able to use that in the log as she does usually with such gay abandon.

9:12 am

Scarlet

Excellent, Luc... now Mr. al-Fayed can prop you up as the conspirator...

9:12 am

Haz1558

So you're not the one attending the inquest every day, Atalante? There's at least one man who goes every day with DIANA painted on his face in blue letters.

9:12 am

Haz1558

Hmmm, let's think who that might be, FMItch?

9:12 am

montreal13

lol FM...

9:12 am

LoriP

Blue paint on his face. Why is it tailgate parties can't be far of.....

9:13 am

Judi

Morning all. Hey, Ata... did you wave to George Clooney while you were at Lake Como. Word is, he has a villa there.

9:13 am

Scarlet

FM... would that that word were all that is used, frequently...

9:13 am

LoriP

*off even

9:13 am

Atalante

she did provide one of the freakiest experiences of my life though. I came back from Milan the day before her funeral, and I walked through London to get home and people were sitting and lying down all over Knightsbridge and screaming and crying and wailing. it was *really* odd

9:14 am

Scarlet

That behavior really confuses me, Ata...

9:14 am

montreal13

i was perturbed that so much media attention was given Di's passing versus Mother Theresa's death...

9:14 am

Haz1558

Babble does educate in areas you don't want to be educated in, Scarlet.

9:14 am

LoriP

**Not me, I can't be educated, no matter how hard you try***

9:14 am

FMitch

It always perplexes me as we come here as lovers of words yet some are unable to express w/o resorting to um, basics when there is such a bounteous choice to be had.

9:15 am

Scarlet

Indeed, Haz. Although I am not deeply schooled in the patois of certain areas, I know enough that it is rude, crude, vulgar and impermissable for decent folk.

9:15 am

montreal13

basics, nice choice of word there FM...

9:15 am

FMitch

*grin*

9:16 am

EvaNadine

my phantom word for today: Bruise

9:16 am

Atalante

it confused me too! london felt really alien that day

9:17 am

montreal13

the "sleep" fly is in there though: ts6

9:17 am

FMitch

You got that yesterday EvaN when you slept walked in the the log and bashed against the grid.

9:17 am

Scarlet

I dont' "get" it... the mass hysteria... the complete abandonment to public grief...

9:17 am

EvaNadine

this is true!

9:17 am

Haz1558

I don't understand people's need to lay flowers at the scene of a tragedy. It's as if they're saying 'Look at me at how I'm suffering' - especially strange if they haven't known the person in life.

9:18 am

Atalante

but kensington palace looked amazing with all the flowers, like a carpet

9:19 am

Scarlet

That, too, Haz. I recall, vividly, September 11, 2001... people were walking on the street with pale, sticken faces... not outward expression of grief, anger, fear... just automatons in a state of shock.

9:19 am

Vicuna

August 31, 1997, you say? I was just ending a 4 days' field hockey pre-season training bout as new coach at a new job in a new school and had neither time nor energy to even look at the news, let alone spare any energy for sympathy or sorrow beyond the self-pity I had already lavished on myself. I collapsed in bed the instant I arrived home.

9:20 am

montreal13

hi Vi - what an entrance !!

9:20 am

Scarlet

Now, THAT is a perfect excuse!

9:20 am

Vicuna

Hello, all!

9:20 am

Haz1558

Well, you're in the clear, Vicuna.

9:20 am

Haz1558

And hello to you!

9:21 am

LoriP

G'd morning Vic. 'Yer late. Punctuality is important.

9:21 am

ypsigirl

93 down, 93 to go, good time to take a break!

9:21 am

Scarlet

LOL, Lor... now, you're warming up a tad!

9:21 am

FMitch

Hello Vi

9:21 am

Haz1558

Vicuna, Lori is on a good behaviour day today. Her sefl-righteousness is going to be difficult to live with if it goes on for long.

9:21 am

Vicuna

Don't I know it, Lori! Would you like to hear an excuse?

9:21 am

Uniquity

I've been whipping her into shape, Haz. Don't worry about it

9:21 am

LoriP

Good job ypsi! ***I'm not warming up, i continue to be properly behaved***

9:22 am

Uniquity

Maybe if she is god for ten more minutes I wil allow her a sip of water...

9:22 am

Scarlet

Don't beat all the oddness out of her, Uni...

9:22 am

montreal13

later ypigirl

9:22 am

LoriP

Only if it's a really creative excuse Vic.

9:22 am

Vicuna

If she's god for any amount of time she'll sip any water she da-- well pleases, I think!

9:22 am

Scarlet

God? Or, good... you folks have a strange training regimen...

9:22 am

ypsigirl

Everyone wish Lara226 a Happy birthday!

9:22 am

Haz1558

If she is god? Has she got delusions of deity?

9:22 am

Uniquity

Hey, Fm and Scrabbler are always telling me to contol my mother! Now I do it and you guys complain **humph**

9:22 am

Scarlet

Okay, ypsigirl!

9:22 am

Atalante

Sept 11th was another "28 Days Later" episode of London life. I was in Canary Wharf and everyone was freaking out that Canary Wharf would be the next target. I ended up walking home to Greenwich, through the little foot tunnel under the Thames, in completely deserted streets

9:23 am

LoriP

***ponders the notion that she is a god. Likes the idea***

9:23 am

montreal13

Bonne fête Lara226 !!! - YOUPPI !!

9:23 am

FMitch

Lori I am pleased you are following the example I set yesterday.

9:23 am

Haz1558

Happy birthdy Lara226!

9:23 am

ypsigirl

(don't think she is looking right now)- but I will tell her later!

9:23 am

LoriP

Happy Birthday Lara

9:23 am

Haz1558

birthday, even.

9:24 am

Atalante

Happy birthday Lara!!

9:24 am

Scarlet

FMitch... what example? Of being rational?

9:24 am

Haz1558

Is this going to be like the Scarlet greeting fest yesterday? Do we say happy birthday on a regular basis?

9:24 am

ypsigirl

I told her this grid looked a little wonky this morning, with all the E's...

9:24 am

Uniquity

Not fair...my lappy keyboard is filled with dirt and the keys sometimes don't press :(

9:24 am

Vicuna

The first I heard about Sept. 11 was trying to keep girls cam with rumors of mass invasion flying around and knowing knowing what had happened.

9:24 am

LoriP

Happy Birthday to all th eother people that aren't loking at chat either.

9:24 am

montreal13

happy b'day Lara !!

9:24 am

Vicuna

Happy Birthday, lara!

9:24 am

Vicuna

*calm

9:24 am

FMitch

I was modest, quiet in atitude and even tempered (and I didn't get blamed for anything at all yesterday)!

9:24 am

Scarlet

LOL... now I must look back at all the delightfully considerate people who "Howdied" me to make up for Lucien's crushing and painful actions...

9:24 am

Vicuna

*nobody

9:25 am

Atalante

oh I think you did ...

9:25 am

bfsog

hey all.

9:25 am

Scarlet

Congratulations then, FMitch... that may be a first.

9:25 am

Haz1558

FMitch is modelling herself on me.

9:25 am

Vicuna

Oh bother. Forget these long paragraphs. I'm going back to snappy one-liners. I usually have only one typo in each of those.

9:25 am

Haz1558

Hello bf.

9:25 am

LoriP

G'd morning bf

9:25 am

montreal13

immediately after sept 11, the skies were empty of any planes except some Saudis: only birds and the hovering Annie were left aloft...

9:26 am

montreal13

hi bf !

9:26 am

Scarlet

Hello bf!!

9:26 am

bfsog

ive had a hellish day - been driving for about 5 hours.

9:26 am

Scarlet

And Annie has not landed yet, Luc!

9:26 am

LoriP

Yes monty, Annie had her choice of altitudes.

9:27 am

Scarlet

The entire community of Babble would do well to model themselves after you, Haz.

9:27 am

montreal13

lol scarlet - ohhh nice one Lori !

9:27 am

Scarlet

OH, nasty, bfsog... welcome to the warm confines of your Babble home...

9:27 am

FMitch

Hi bf, why so much driving?

9:27 am

Haz1558

What a laugh, Scarlet! Small, dumpy people typing away.

9:28 am

Scarlet

It is the heart that I hear, Haz.

9:28 am

Uniquity

*refuses to be like Haz. *Draws on Lori's clean shirt

9:28 am

LoriP

I'm not small!

9:28 am

FMitch

Ah Haz, I strive for perfection but would never presume to reach your illustrious heights.

9:28 am

Scarlet

Uni, the Rebel... always the contrarian...

9:28 am

bfsog

had to meet a work contact, who i thought was about 30 miles away. turns out to be a 150 mile round trip

9:28 am

Haz1558

Oh Scarlet, If you only knew some of the unexpressed thoughts!

9:28 am

LoriP

***Threatens to unplug router, if Uni doesn't behave***

9:29 am

Uniquity

I am too tall to be short...

9:29 am

Vicuna

Oh, FM, you had to tease Haz about "heights" didn't you.

9:29 am

Haz1558

(Weeping quietly at my lack of inches)

9:29 am

montreal13

pretty deep Uni...

9:29 am

bfsog

who is the tallest babbler

9:29 am

Uniquity

**mails Hazel a pretty pair of tall party shoes

9:29 am

FMitch

Wha... what did I do? I never tease Haz you know that

9:29 am

Scarlet

I could be crucified if I were to give voice to some of my darker thoughts, too, Haz... and I have nearly caved in to voicing them on occasion.... and the logical part of my mind told me, "Don't do it... it's not worth it... people are people and some people are mean, selfish, self-absorbed and cruel."

9:30 am

FMitch

I'm 6 ft bf

9:30 am

sadie52

good morning everyone

9:30 am

Haz1558

Oooooh, platform shoes. Brings me back to my youth in the seventies.

9:30 am

bfsog

me too fm

9:30 am

Uniquity

Is that why you don't e-mail me back Scarlet? :D

9:30 am

montreal13

hi sadie

9:30 am

Vicuna

I'm 15 ft 4 inches... when I'm standing on an upper floor.

9:30 am

LoriP

FM wins. G'd morning sadie

9:30 am

FMitch

OK so we have set the bar then bf ... looking for babblers over 6ft then.

9:30 am

Haz1558

I know, Scarlet. I have expressed the thoughts sometimes, but it does no good.

9:31 am

Scarlet

Awww.... No, Uni... my time has been extremely limited lately. But, I shall write to you!

9:31 am

Haz1558

bf is obviously wanting to rub it in. Asking who is the tallest babbler....

9:31 am

LoriP

Okay, Vic wins then.

9:31 am

Uniquity

I am only 5 foot 10... I have lost

9:32 am

bfsog

haz can have a couple of my inches, i am now 5'10 and haz is +2

9:32 am

sadie52

wow I am shorter

9:32 am

Uniquity

** donates .75 inches to Haz**

9:32 am

Haz1558

I'm five foot one and a bit.

9:32 am

montreal13

was 5'11 and a half ... but somehow, lost an inch...in height that is

9:32 am

Scarlet

Five feet, seven and a half inches tall... or, at least I used to be, before age set in... LOL

9:32 am

LoriP

***talk of inches, is tempting me back to the naughty side***

9:33 am

Haz1558

But montreal, your fedora should put a few inches back?

9:33 am

FMitch

lol monty ;)

9:33 am

montreal13

true haz - give me 6 foot 1 then !

9:33 am

EvaNadine

im a mere 5' 6 1/2"

9:33 am

LoriP

Haz is 3 apples high. That's awesome!

9:33 am

Uniquity

**ignores Lori**

9:33 am

Scarlet

LOL... Luc, almost the exact posts!!

9:33 am

Vicuna

How careless of you to lose height, montreal. Where did you last see it?

9:34 am

montreal13

GMTA and all that :-)

9:34 am

Atalante

yeah, but really he has a beret, not a fedora

9:34 am

FMitch

monty, having a boufant hair do does not count towards extra inches.

9:34 am

LoriP

***Ignores Uni ignoring me, reaches for router cord***

9:34 am

Scarlet

Yep! :-)

9:34 am

Uniquity

Maybe his fedora wears a beret?

9:35 am

montreal13

was minding my own business when, all of a suuden, out of the blue, "something" struck and here i was with an inch gone !!

9:35 am

montreal13

lol fm

9:35 am

Scarlet

Those rampaging Mounties are on the loose again, Luc!

9:35 am

Vicuna

So it may have been stolen, eh? *looks meaningfully at FM*

9:35 am

LoriP

***weeps at the tragedy and ramifications of an inch lost***

9:35 am

Haz1558

Fedoras and berets don't mix. Their families have never got along since the War of Spanish Succession.

9:36 am

Haz1558

You see, if it was an inch lost off the waist, we'd be rejoicing. But an inch off the head....

9:36 am

Atalante

lori, an inch off his *height*. don't get a dirty mind again

9:36 am

montreal13

BERET !!!!!!, esprit was saying the same yesterday - i will repeat : i do not own a béret, never did ! "humff"

9:36 am

Scarlet

Old Man Time, CLEARLY, is the culprit... we cannot blame FMitch!

9:36 am

FMitch

Careful Vi, Last time I took an inch I ended up taking amile!

9:36 am

Uniquity

Well, my tinfoil fedora and tinfoil beret got together and made a saran wrap pirate hat...

9:37 am

Scarlet

Lovely, Uni. Is it time for your medication, dear?

9:37 am

FMitch

*smiles adoringly at Scarlet and says Hello just incase*

9:37 am

Vicuna

lol, FM. If you tell us you're a mile tall, FM, we will not dispute your tallest Babbler status.

9:37 am

Scarlet

Lucien is not the beret type...

9:37 am

Scarlet

LOL, FMitch!

9:37 am

LoriP

Ata, you say again? Like it ever stopped. ***cough***

9:37 am

Haz1558

We've been so busy concentrating on Lori being good that we haven't noticed Uni's downward spiral.

9:37 am

Haz1558

I feel very guilty.

9:38 am

montreal13

so right scarlet

9:38 am

Uniquity

**plays in mud**

9:38 am

Vicuna

Maybe there's a sort of conservation of goodness going on between them.

9:38 am

LoriP

She is in decline Haz. I've noticed things. I dasn't say much while she's near me.

9:38 am

Scarlet

We Canucks must stick together, Luc!~

9:38 am

montreal13

it's a family thing with Lori and Uni, like a balancing act...

9:38 am

Scarlet

Can she be violent, Lori?

9:39 am

Haz1558

Can we work out a secret code that Uni can't understand?

9:39 am

Uniquity

Scarlet's a canuck? When did that happen?

9:39 am

montreal13

Canucks ? you scarlet ??

9:39 am

FMitch

Isn't that a duck, oh no thats cannard

9:39 am

LoriP

Well, let's just say I locked the knives and lighters up before she got here.

9:39 am

Vicuna

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm seeing Old Glory next to her name.

9:40 am

Haz1558

So no fire batons then?

9:40 am

Scarlet

Uni, my paternal grandmother, who moved from France in the early 1900s, became a Canuck for many decades before moving to Boston, where she met my grandfather.

9:40 am

montreal13

so do I Vi, so do i...

9:40 am

Vicuna

A Canuck is canoe with a hole in the botttom.

9:40 am

Uniquity

I dunno Scarlet...I think you might have had to live in Canada to be a canuck...

9:40 am

montreal13

lol Vi...

9:40 am

LoriP

No open flame of any kind. ***nods knowingly***

9:41 am

Scarlet

So, a few cells in the brain will occasionally acknowledge that genetic tie...

9:41 am

Vicuna

She just wants an excuse to "stick together" with montreal. Tsk tsk.

9:41 am

Haz1558

That's good, Lori. Barbecue season is going to be difficult.

9:41 am

Scarlet

LOL, Vi... back to the one-liner zingers!!

9:41 am

Uniquity

**starts hissy fit on par with Scarlet's...you guys *aren't fair!* Never let me do what I want - never let me stay up late - didn't buy me a zebra - *Holds breath*

9:42 am

montreal13

about those canoes, people at one end don't worry that there's a hole at the bottom b/c the hole is at the other end...

9:42 am

Haz1558

Lori, you have our permission to slap.

9:42 am

LoriP

Well, I am toddling off. I'm gonna' have to deal with this tantrum, and it may not be pretty. ***gets restraints from closet, dusts them off***

9:42 am

Vicuna

But Uni, I DID buy you a zebra! It isn't MY fault you chose to house it with your lion!

9:42 am

montreal13

lol lori and have a great day

9:42 am

FMitch

Quickly gets hold of Uni and takes her to the naughty step in the new corner of the PB (has padded walls)

9:42 am

Uniquity

**follows Lori, still holding breath**.

9:43 am

LoriP

Vic is back in form, I see. lolol

9:43 am

Uniquity

Oh thank you Vic, I knew ONE of my angels would come through for me **hugs**

9:43 am

Vicuna

Bye, Lori! Bye, Uni!

9:43 am

Scarlet

Let the beatings begin...

9:43 am

LoriP

Have a good one all. ***is blue a bad clor during tantrums?***

9:43 am

LoriP

*color even

9:43 am

Vicuna

No, Lori. It's considered very soothing and restful.

9:44 am

montreal13

"whispering to scarlet: this Canuck thing did not work, we'll have to find somethong else to justify our (sticking together)"...

9:44 am

Haz1558

Slapping starts when it's a delicate shade of kingfisher and not before.

9:44 am

montreal13

something* even...

9:44 am

Scarlet

**psssst.... we will figure something plausible, Luc***

9:44 am

Haz1558

Freudian slip, montreal. Somethong else? Where IS your mind these days?

9:45 am

Atalante

the same place as Lori;s obviously

9:45 am

montreal13

maybe at the same place as the ar4 word hazel ??

9:45 am

Vicuna

Montreal, I don't know what to tell you. The two of you are sitting there in a canoe with a hole, and if you aren't clinging together as the ship goes down, nothing's going to work.

9:45 am

FMitch

Cues up the Thong Song on the CD player and turns up the volume..

9:45 am

Scarlet

Hahhahhaaaaaaaaa... thank you, Haz... that might have gone unnoticed... LOL

9:45 am

montreal13

"in a low voice : okay scarlet"

9:45 am

Haz1558

But if they sing 'My heart will go on', will that not save them? Isn't Celine Dion Canadian?

9:45 am

sadie52

oh for a few more consonants in this grid

9:46 am

Vicuna

Good point, Haz. It's all starting to hang together.

9:46 am

snags

how many words today?

9:46 am

movieman

Cues up 'Jump' by Van Halen and turns it up full blast......

9:46 am

montreal13

i'm afraid she is hazel..."sigh"

9:46 am

Haz1558

186 words.

9:46 am

sadie52

186 snags

9:46 am

FMitch

9:47 am

snags

9:47 am

sadie52

9:47 am

Haz1558

Is Celine not a beloved Canadian institution?

9:47 am

snags

I have 66 and here I thought I was done..........

9:47 am

montreal13

with 50 left, time for a break - BBL - happy babbling all, freudian slips and all - bye for now !

9:47 am

FMitch

She is from that neck of the woods Haz

9:48 am

Haz1558

Bye montreal - see you later, sans ou avec beret!

9:48 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, montreal!

9:48 am

FMitch

Bye monty

9:48 am

Vicuna

(Someone check whether Scarlet "just happens" to be sneaking off now, too.)

9:48 am

sadie52

i have 46 and ive decided its gonna be a long babbling day lol

9:48 am

snags

for sure sadie

9:49 am

Haz1558

I have to pre-warn the Brits that the Irish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest (Celine once sang in it so there is a tenuous connection), consists of a turkey puppet singing a song entitled 'Douze points'. You heard it here first.

9:49 am

Scarlet

Later, Lucien! Be well.

9:49 am

montreal13

"not beloved by me, that's for su4" - bye all dear babbling friends " - "POOF" - FORGET THE BÉRET HAZEL" - "ACTUAL POOF"

9:49 am

FMitch

I did ask you for an interview on that subject at 9.00 log time Haz but to no avail.

9:49 am

Scarlet

Oh, good grief, Haz... that sounds to be an atrocious act...

9:49 am

Haz1558

Pas de beret pour montreal.

9:49 am

Vicuna

That sounds fantastic, Haz!

9:50 am

Haz1558

I haven't seen the whole thing, they showed a snippet on the news yesterday and it defies description. It'll probably win.

9:50 am

Scarlet

LOL, Vi... just read your post...

9:50 am

Vicuna

If turkey puppets are going to be all the rage this season I'd better save the ones my children made this past Thanksgiving...

9:50 am

Haz1558

I wonder if it's on youtube?

9:51 am

montreal13

now you have it ((hazel)) - bye ((scarlet)) - "REAL ACTUAL POOF"

9:51 am

Scarlet

:-) Luc!!

9:51 am

Haz1558

Bye montreal!

9:51 am

Lara226

Hey Ypsi told me I missed Birthday wishes..thanks everyone

9:51 am

FMitch

Can someone tell MONTY you can only poof ONCE, more than that is just not socually acceptable.

9:52 am

Scarlet

Well, BabbleNation, I really must go peel potatoes now... nothing whatsoever to do with Lucien... will return later, ALONE... LOL

9:52 am

FMitch

Yay Happy Birthday Lara

9:52 am

Scarlet

Multiple poofings are now forbidden... I just inscribed the Law of England's Law books, FM!

9:52 am

Vicuna

The way he poofs so excessively he really can only be called a poofter.

9:53 am

Scarlet

Happy Birthday to YOU, Lara226!! @@@ <----- roses and balloons...

9:53 am

FMitch

ROFL

9:53 am

Atalante

well in that case, he *must* have a beret somewhere

9:53 am

Scarlet

**snort**

9:53 am

Vicuna

Oh wait, I forgot that Enable spells it pooftah.

9:54 am

arwennn

isn't "rebute" a word?

9:54 am

Scarlet

No.

9:54 am

Haz1558

If you google Douze points turkey, there's a piece on Anorak news with a video. I apologise in advance and point out that I hold a British passport.

9:54 am

Vicuna

Only if you can bute the first time, arwenn.

9:54 am

FMitch

I must take a break, my side hurts from laughing.

9:54 am

Haz1558

PENALTY BOX

9:54 am

Atalante

PB Vi!

9:55 am

Vicuna

Ah, apparently you can?

9:55 am

Haz1558

bu4/7 was her downfall.

9:55 am

FMitch

Was't that entrapment?

9:55 am

Vicuna

Well, whaddaya know!

9:55 am

Vicuna

Thanks and sorry, everyone!

9:55 am

Haz1558

Was there a conspiracy to entrap?

9:56 am

Vicuna

Serves me right for not being up on my street terms for drugs.

9:56 am

Haz1558

Happy Birthday Lara, by the way.

9:56 am

Scarlet

I sense a plot to conspire to entrap, wrapped in an enigma, embraces by a dichotomy...

9:56 am

Scarlet

*embraced*

9:57 am

Haz1558

Yes, we're very up in our street language around here.

9:57 am

Scarlet

Hi, Scarlet! There, don't I feel better now?

9:57 am

Vicuna

I thought you were "folding laundry" or something, Scarlet. But no, you just have "embraced" on your mind. Hmmm....

9:57 am

arwennn

Oh. I was thinking of "rebuke." Sounds similar lol

9:57 am

Scarlet

LOL...potatoes call. Feisty tu6/27!!

9:57 am

Haz1558

Can't help thinking about the song 'Somethong in the way she moves...'

9:58 am

Vicuna

lol, Haz.

9:58 am

Scarlet

LOL...haahhahahahaaaaa OH, Haz, I have joined FMitch in sore sides and aching belly from the laughter...

9:59 am

Haz1558

I just hope your nose hasn't started bleeding!

9:59 am

Vicuna

Humor is apparently a double-edged sword.

9:59 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I have to go - it was fun talking with you all. Bye for now!

9:59 am

Scarlet

It is packed, as unattractive as that image may be, Haz... if I continue to bleed so heavily, it will have been worth it!

10:00 am

Haz1558

Take care, Scarlet. Bye!

10:00 am

Vicuna

Bye, Haz, and I guess I will toddle off and do something "useful" for a bit.

10:00 am

Scarlet

Time for more peroxide. See you all later!

10:01 am

Scarlet

Useful? Bah! **Poof**

10:02 am

not me lil...i just sleep all day, then go have a bowl of soup for dinner (and yes, i do the dishes), then go back to sleep

1:25 pm

Krista

Which is worse..husband who talks too much, or too little? I always think my husband is too quiet..easy to misinterpret moods, have to "beat the details out of him" about things...but when he is in a rare talkative mood, he gets on my nerves because I'm not used to all the prattling. Poor guy can't win. (hi all)

1:26 pm

danf63

hi Krista!

1:26 pm

Atalante

1:29 pm

lilliann

i know lucy!!LOL. big hugs

1:30 pm

Deeha

My husband used to say 'you watch anything you want' and when I picked something he'd spend the whole time sighing and saying how much longer......!!!

1:30 pm

Krista

lilli...wow, maybe that's universal, too (the TV thing)..thought that only happened here!

1:31 pm

Atalante

yep! and he talks over anything I want to watch, but woe betide me if I whisper during his progs!

1:31 pm

Krista

hee hee, yep

1:31 pm

lilliann

exactly ata!!

1:32 pm

echoesuk

or they read the paper and start telling you the news!

1:32 pm

Krista

Patrick will sit there are pretend to hate my reality shows, but I know he's secretly into them. ;)

1:32 pm

Atalante

ohhhhh yes krista!

1:33 pm

lilliann

he moans about babble then sits and does some for me....what cheek!!!!

1:34 pm

Atalante

mine comes along and says "xyz have you got that?" "abc have you got that?" when they are the most obvious words in the grid

1:34 pm

Atalante

me: yes! yes! YES! YES! GO AWAY!

1:35 pm

echoesuk

lol

1:36 pm

ursh

next sentence has to be - him : well I was only trying to help!! - right ata?

1:36 pm

Krista

ROFL..it's so good to commiserate. :)

1:36 pm

Atalante

those exact words

1:37 pm

ursh

so there we go men ARE universally the same

1:38 pm

lilliann

builders here bbl

1:38 pm

Atalante

at this time of night??!

1:39 pm

ursh

My husband who swears he does NOT snore - we recorded him snoring in his chair and sent it to his cell phone as a ring tone was totally furious and convinced we set it up cos he KNOWS he does not snore

1:39 pm

echoesuk

lol

1:39 pm

Atalante

yep! that too!

1:40 pm

Krista

heh heh..send him for a sleep eval..I had the SAME thing..he would even tell me he was AWAKE when I said he was snoring..they confirmed that he has terrible sleep apnea. He has had the CPAP machine for a year now and won't use it.

1:40 pm

ursh

Hey I know i snore and drool - thats why i could never have a toy boy - poor kid would run a mile

1:41 pm

Krista

(that's really funny about the ring tone!!)

1:41 pm

Atalante

mine has the CPAP machine, puts the mask on for 1/2 an hour and then takes it off in his sleep *sigh*

1:41 pm

ursh

Well Krista I though it was hilarious but I am afraid his lordship was not amused

1:42 pm

Krista

that's a prob Ata, but at least he tries...lol, Ursh..some people have no sense of humor

1:43 pm

Atalante

his dr convinced him he was going to die in his sleep if he didn't use his CPAP :P

1:44 pm

Krista

That WOULD be motivating. It really is like dying for a minute or two. And Patrick will kick his legs all over the place when he finally breathes. Not good for the heart at all.

1:44 pm

Krista

(I sleep on the sofa) :l

1:45 pm

Atalante

exactly. its not good. but I'm not sure how 1/2 an hour of good breathing helps per night LOL. I tend to sleep in the spare bedroom with the dog!

1:48 pm

Krista

I have one, too, and can't sleep without it now. I don't snore, but I hold my breath. Had no idea I had it until I went to doc for fatigue. It has made a huge difference. Hope doggie doesn't start snoring. ;)

1:48 pm

Atalante

she DOES!

1:49 pm

Krista

ROFL....you poor thing!!

1:49 pm

Atalante

even the CAT snores here

1:50 pm

Krista

I can sleep with the TV on, music, clocks ticking..you name it, but not snoring. Maybe it's too irregular or something...how do u stand it.

1:51 pm

Atalante

I tend to sleep during the day. I reckon I get about 4 hours of sleep a night on a good night, and just catch up during the day

1:54 pm

lilliann

back again, sorry to hear about all the sleep problems

1:54 pm

lilliann

the builders are here to give us quotes for some work we want doing ata

1:55 pm

Atalante

2:43 pm

Scarlet

I know, Vi... I live on the edge! (ANd, no, it's not a 60's flashback, either!)

2:44 pm

Scarlet

Then we have our ever-present sea birds, plural on two of them; the God of Love; and ER+if wishes were ho****, then beggars would ride.

3:18 pm

KatieMcG

Hi norma, in London for a couple of nights and been on a stand all day so feet killing and missing home. G&T seemed the solution (although at £6.50 for a double it will just be the one!!)

3:18 pm

Angela

go sadie go!!

3:18 pm

Denny

Is that a hint of almond she can smell (cue dramatic music) or is it that deathly poison CYANIDE

3:18 pm

Scarlet

And Denny is tiptoeing up to taste it... she hates nuts and thinks that perhaps a touch of almond extract will be too overwhelming...

3:18 pm

Angela

lol denny

3:18 pm

stidmama

almond, cyanide, if it's cake, I'd like a piece please...

3:18 pm

Scarlet

It is....... Black out. Curtain falls. Offstage screams.

3:19 pm

Norma

In that case keep hitting the bottle - it helps you sleep. Take care cu soon XX

3:19 pm

Angela

i'd almost risk the cyanide for a piece of that cake about now!

3:19 pm

Scarlet

LOL, stid... here's a fat slice!

3:19 pm

stidmama

ROFL!!!! *claps hands with delight*

3:19 pm

I like quatre-vingt-dix it sounds nice

3:40 pm

arwennn

ts6/21?

3:40 pm

montreal13

it gets worse with 90 stid: quatre-vingt dix -- 1st a multiplication and THEN an addition !!

3:41 pm

stidmama

it does sound nice, I just always get turned around with it and have to unwind it. *grin* doesn't stop me, just slows me down.

3:41 pm

montreal13

GMTA again Ata !!

3:41 pm

stidmama

yes, montreal, I have been practicing both of them for about 30 years... (not enough practice, it seems) LOL

3:41 pm

montreal13

ts + ir4 flower - chg 1st letter

3:41 pm

Scarlet

TS + a t**tle has a shell + I am, you are, he **

3:42 pm

LadyNatts

3:42 pm

arwennn

3:42 pm

arwennn

interesting word.

3:42 pm

montreal13

one never stops learning... one hopes...

3:42 pm

Scarlet

You're welcome, arwennn.

3:42 pm

montreal13

well... not sure about that Lady N...

3:42 pm

stidmama

now only quatre-vingt quatre... (backwards is harder than forwards)

3:43 pm

Scarlet

Isn't it a Yiddish word for troubles and pain?

3:43 pm

stidmama

yes. Quatre-vingt-dix is definitely "troubles and pain" *wink*

3:43 pm

Atalante

j'ai seulement (ha!) vingt sept avant le fini

3:43 pm

arwennn

last 3 u's! my brain is fried

3:44 pm

montreal13

il m'en reste douze...

3:44 pm

stidmama

3:44 pm

stidmama

3:45 pm

Vicuna

re re re your boat, gently through the list...

3:45 pm

LadyNatts

what do you need?

3:45 pm

Denny

arwenn - ur4/5 - think of wee

3:45 pm

stidmama

sorry arwennn, j'ai pas de list.

3:45 pm

arwennn

the last 3 u's

3:45 pm

montreal13

lol Ata...

3:45 pm

Scarlet

Arwennn... one who lends money...

3:46 pm

Denny

ur4/6 - sounds like how the americans pronounce herbs

3:46 pm

Scarlet

Then plural; and the process of loaning.. usually at exhorbitant rates... a negative meaning.

3:46 pm

stidmama

thanks for that one denny!

3:46 pm

arwennn

denny I have that, I need the last three u's.... us6 and us7x2

3:47 pm

Denny

I apologise arwenn - I didn't see those U's !!!

3:47 pm

stidmama

those were the money-lender words arwennn.

3:47 pm

Scarlet

U + are you **** that you want this answer + consonant.

3:47 pm

stidmama

the one who lends money is US 6, then plural

3:47 pm

montreal13

tx scarlet for those 2 us words...

3:47 pm

Scarlet

You're welcome, Luc!

3:47 pm

arwennn

I'm having trouble figuring them.. probably because I don't deal with money lenders LOL

3:47 pm

stidmama

there is also a US 7 that is a plural of the action of lendy money

3:48 pm

montreal13

and of course WE do all the time "HUMPH"

3:48 pm

stidmama

let's see : US + first three letters of the "pee" word + pirate-sounding consonant. then plural

3:48 pm

Scarlet

**giggling madly now**

3:48 pm

Atalante

ink shakespearean moneylenders

3:49 pm

LadyNatts

u + su5 and 6

3:49 pm

stidmama

and the process of lending money generally ends with a Y but when you plural you change the Y to ***

3:49 pm

Scarlet

Filthy moneylenders got kicked out of the temple when Jesus had a fury of indignation...

3:49 pm

stidmama

or Use LadyN's clue which is more succinct

3:49 pm

LadyNatts

(if there were an su6 that pluralled the su5)

3:49 pm

Denny

wow scarlet - I don't know what you put in that cake but i have just WHIZZED through the list!!!

3:49 pm

Scarlet

LOL... Denny... it's a major secret...shhhhhhh

4:13 pm

montreal13

BÉRET ! - if i hear that word again i swear i'll...

4:14 pm

Scarlet

Look for a man who, when not shovelling his yard and sidewalks, is hunkered down behind the wheel of a suspicious vehicle, going like Roadrunner whenever he spots an RCMP!!

4:14 pm

Atalante

4:14 pm

Scarlet

Sh, sh, dear Luc... WE know you'd never stoop so low...

4:15 pm

montreal13

well fishnet...hadn't thought of that in a while...hmmmm

4:15 pm

Vicuna

Uni, I hope you're not thinking of getting into montreal's pants!

4:15 pm

Uniquity

4:17 pm

montreal13

4:17 pm

Uniquity

terminal underwear, now that is a concept!

4:17 pm

herinfernallady

No kitty is alive and lounging on the glory that is the heated couch

4:17 pm

Vicuna

Better keep growing that beard then, montreal. It's goign to have to cover a lot once Uni's finished with you.

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

llo people.

4:17 pm

stidmama

brb

4:17 pm

KatieMcG

Rhubarb always comes for a cuddle before bedtime and drools really badly. she then shakes her head, not a good way to get to sleep

4:17 pm

Atalante

heated couch??????

4:17 pm

Uniquity

**Tries to pull mind out of Lori's gutter**

4:17 pm

Vicuna

Monsi5 Godiva himself.

4:18 pm

montreal13

as usual, much fun was had in the chat today... must all good things must end - gotta go - happy babblings all - see you all tomorrow (if the grid is small enough b/c it's a work day for moi) - bye all...

4:18 pm

Uniquity

4:18 pm

KatieMcG

I was away one night last week and she went mad when I got home, dread to think how she will be on thursday

4:18 pm

Atalante

4:18 pm

KatieMcG

Bye Mont

4:18 pm

Vicuna

Farewell, montreal.

4:18 pm

montreal13

lol - you gals are nuts... but lots of fun !

4:18 pm

herinfernallady

YEp. Couch is over a heating vent. Vent blows heat up back of couch and since couch is not flush with wall there is a gap that is wide enough for warmth

4:19 pm

LoriP

***reading and lurking, since raunchy seems to have been an udnerstatement...***

4:19 pm

Scarlet

Until another day, dear Luc. Be well.

4:19 pm

stidmama

4:19 pm

montreal13

4:19 pm

Uniquity

4:19 pm

KatieMcG

4:19 pm

stidmama

4:19 pm

montreal13

4:19 pm

Mom

4:19 pm

Atalante

4:19 pm

KatieMcG

*wondering if this was a fake POOF*

4:19 pm

KatieMcG

haha it was!!!!

4:19 pm

montreal13

"bye all "REAL POOF"

4:20 pm

KatieMcG

*so he says!!!!*

4:20 pm

Scarlet

Multiple poofings!! A seven dollar fine, Lucien!

4:20 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, katiew. He never manages to poof first time off. It's a wonder he ever got his poofing license.

4:20 pm

periwinkle

49 left to find, time to feed my cat, bbs

4:20 pm

stidmama

well now we can revert to l'anglaise I suppose...

4:21 pm

Scarlet

This was incorporated into the Law of England earlier today... Absolutely NO multiple poofings...

4:21 pm

Mom

bye Peri

4:21 pm

stidmama

later peri!

4:21 pm

Mom

Hi Lori

4:21 pm

Atalante

multiple poofings. unfortunatley more common than multiple orgasms

4:21 pm

KatieMcG

If i didn't say poof I would never go!!

4:21 pm

Scarlet

Later, peri-kins!

4:21 pm

Vicuna

But perhaps it didn't make it into the Law of Canada?

4:22 pm

candy1

Can anyone advise me with technical computer stuff?

4:22 pm

Uniquity

Speak for yourself Ata...

4:22 pm

stidmama

how technical, candy?

4:22 pm

Vicuna

Well, it would certainly be, ummm... interesting if the multiple orgasms were going on in the Babble chat log.

4:22 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Candy you might have come to the wrong place

4:23 pm

Uniquity

:D Knew Vic wouldn't let that ball drop..

4:23 pm

Atalante

well. just on average. in the world

4:23 pm

KatieMcG

VICUNA!!!!!

4:23 pm

Atalante

you ignored me earlier, uni. we want to see a photo.

4:23 pm

stidmama

but atalante brought up that word first...

4:23 pm

Vicuna

Hey, Ata's the one who suggested it.

4:23 pm

Atalante

I get away with it, though. Vi doesn't

4:24 pm

Uniquity

Photos aren't nearly as fun as imagineration..

4:24 pm

candy1

Stid - I have lost all my internet services and had to start a new account. I haven't been able to babble for months and had to start afresh here too. Can I get my old account for babble back?

4:24 pm

KatieMcG

sorry vicuna I didn't see that. ATALANTE!!!!

4:24 pm

Uniquity

and i must say, i have never seen a picture of you, young lady!

4:24 pm

stidmama

Uniquity is really a bearded man in a fedora. Her first language is french...

4:24 pm

Atalante

havent ever looked on facebook then??!

4:24 pm

candy1

I used to babble every day under candy btw

4:24 pm

jimmel

Can anyone please help with the ts 6 that is not the fly or its plural?

4:24 pm

stidmama

YES candy, generally you can. write to Dr. God and ask him for help

4:25 pm

Uniquity

You look on *my* facebook then!

4:25 pm

KatieMcG

Actually that's a good question Candy. I would like to change my babble name after I am married but don't want to lose my account

4:25 pm

Vicuna

Especially now that we're imagining Uni wearing fishnets over a fish-tail, with a gorgeous top half like a mermaid.

4:25 pm

stidmama

BUT it will depend on you remembering what your old account name was.

4:25 pm

Uniquity

And some questionable pants to go with the beret and beard??

4:25 pm

Mom

sorry, Mrae, I can't help

4:25 pm

stidmama

I know that when faeriekae forgot her password, they had to create a whole new account for her.

4:26 pm

stidmama

But I don't think she had to pay another fee (could be wrong on that)

4:26 pm

Vicuna

ts + multiple Mr Gagarins

4:26 pm

candy1

I will email Dr G now then Thanks for the help

4:26 pm

Scarlet

Uni, take my word for it: Atalante is a stunner with laser eyes full of mystery and intrigue...

4:26 pm

Atalante

no, she didn't

4:26 pm

Atalante

first time I've ever been described that way!

4:26 pm

Uniquity

Vic is bringing up multiples again....

4:26 pm

redturtlehead

I believe I am craving Ribena now. not available here. anyone want to send it?

4:26 pm

stidmama

4:27 pm

jimmel

Vicuna, great clue for the ts...thanks!

4:27 pm

Vicuna

No, Scarlet, you're getting mixed up. The eyes full of mystery and intrigue belong to Hobbit. Ata's the woman behind her.

4:27 pm

Atalante

yes thats more likeit

4:27 pm

Uniquity

We need to have a babble conference...hundreds of computers in one room, with all of us typing away madly at each other, occasionally glancing up to lock eyes with a loved one...

4:27 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Vi... I have seen Ata in her wedding gown, too, and Silverclas et Hobbit weren't in sight!

4:27 pm

stidmama

4:27 pm

jimmel

Still could use help on the te 7 and 8...anyone?

KatieMcG

I knew reading trashy mags would pay off one day. Thanks for the ts clue stid

4:28 pm

Uniquity

I tried going through Ata's flickr one time, and adored the photos but there were SO many...and my computer was unhappy with me

4:28 pm

stidmama

oh Uniquity, wouldn't that be FUN!

4:28 pm

Atalante

yeah sorry, uni. I tend to use flickr as my personal photo back-up system!

4:28 pm

Mom

4:28 pm

herinfernallady

4:28 pm

Uniquity

Well, we would need a special room for the nudies, FL would have to construct a rea life PB...there would be a garden for tea parties...

4:28 pm

stidmama

Scarlet

Oh, dear heavens, Ata...

4:53 pm

Mom

4:53 pm

MaMaWA

Hillary sounds like a 6 second delay guy

5:08 pm

hillary

5:08 pm

evanonut

exactery, and i take like a turn a day. blah

5:08 pm

Krista

So you'd play Scramble with me?

5:09 pm

stidmama

scramble moves pretty fast, and you can set it to have one minute, two minute, or three minutes rounds.

5:09 pm

stidmama

I would play scramble with anyone. I am better at it than at scrabulous...

5:09 pm

Krista

I wanted to ask one of you...do you often "mix it up" as far as grids/times go? So far, I have only played the standard one.

5:09 pm

periwinkle

Krista, I started a Scramble game with you

5:10 pm

periwinkle

stidmama and my muse are the champions of Scramble

5:10 pm

stidmama

Not too often -- most people like the extra time to find words. I prefer the faster games, myself...

5:10 pm

Krista

Yes, Stid, you've already kicked my butt, as has Peri and everyone else I've played against.:) Ok Peri, thanks!

5:10 pm

stidmama

5:22 pm

Scarlet

Yeah... one year, all my conehead flowers were stolen because some jerk wanted them for echinaecea...

5:22 pm

stidmama

I think I'll go check the laundry and see about putting my little pear trees outside for a sunbath for a few minutes...

5:22 pm

stidmama

5:23 pm

Scarlet

The entire bed was stripped stid... bummer!

5:23 pm

5:24 pm

Scarlet

Krista, what is ashwaganda?

5:24 pm

Krista

the flowering part is used too, Stid

5:25 pm

Krista

It's some kind of shrub. I read about it on Dr. Weils' website. It's used like echinacea.

5:25 pm

Scarlet

And it has a prophylactic effect on influenza germs?

5:26 pm

herinfernallady

some one stole ALL of my plants and poisened the ones they couldn't take

5:26 pm

Krista

It's an immunity booster. I'm supposed to take 1,000 mg of penicillin everyday, but I don't want to

5:26 pm

Scarlet

There's a real sicko, herinfern.

5:26 pm

evanonut

you sound like my grandma infernal

5:26 pm

Krista

penicillin wouldnt work on viruses, anyway

5:27 pm

Scarlet

I wouldn't want to take that much of anything, Krista... too much in the system.

5:27 pm

Scarlet

Right... a virus mutates or wears itself out!

5:27 pm

Krista

exactly, Scarlet

5:27 pm

Krista

Why, did you do that to your gramma's flowers, nut?

5:27 pm

evanonut

i guess i'm like a virus then

5:27 pm

Scarlet

I just like the word, ashwaganda.

5:28 pm

Krista

5:28 pm

evanonut

no one did, her flowers were great, i think she was schizo

5:28 pm

Scarlet

LOL, nut.

5:28 pm

Krista

It does have a nice flow to it, Scarlet. I think it's African, tho not sure what language.

5:28 pm

periwinkle

Krista

Just signed up today!!

5:37 pm

Scarlet

Ekard Tolle? What genre of writing?

5:37 pm

Babs1

oh...now I don't have the title, because I returned the book...but it's about painting and creativity from your feelings rather than your mind, etc.

5:37 pm

Krista

About Noggin..if you are signed up on a team, you just play and your points go into the teams' points for the two week period.

5:37 pm

Krista

Life, Paint, and Passion

5:38 pm

Scarlet

Thank you Babs and Krista.

5:38 pm

Babs1

Tolle wrote The Power of Now and his latest is A New Earth-- Awakening to Your LIfe's Purpose....about living in the present moment, attuning yourself from within, etc. spirituality.

5:38 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Babs.

5:38 pm

Babs1

5:39 pm

carleekat

Oprah public supported a pyramid scam with The Secret so no common sense.

5:40 pm

Scarlet

Kattie... too much, or too little coffee today? LOL

5:40 pm

Krista

As I understand it, you just play the game the same way whether or not you are on a team, but your points go to the team's total. But it still keeps stats on you as an individual, too.

5:40 pm

Scarlet

What is that, herinfern... The Secret?

5:40 pm

carleekat

neither..a stinking grid

5:40 pm

Krista

Just joking, Herin..sorry about your flowers. I'd be pretty upset about that, so sorry if I offended you.

5:40 pm

Babs1

well...I didn't bring it up about Oprah, just that this webinar looks good...so I thought I'd see if others were participating.

5:40 pm

Scarlet

Oh, kattie... it really isn't so bad...

5:40 pm

herinfernallady

The Secret it was a book

5:40 pm

Babs1

Thanks, Krista for Noggin scoop!

5:41 pm

carleekat

i sTILL have 44 words to go...

5:41 pm

carleekat

its STINKS

5:41 pm

Krista

i actually still have the window open from earlier to read more about the "webinar" (silly word)

5:41 pm

Scarlet

Okay. A book. About what? And, why was it considered a pyramid scheme?

5:42 pm

herinfernallady

OK give me a second to properly word this

5:42 pm

Scarlet

SSSSheesh... this is harder to nail down than a corrupt congressman...

5:42 pm

herinfernallady

The people that were involved in The Secret were so dodgy that AMway backed away

5:42 pm

Krista

The Secret...good book, but certainly NOT original ideas.

5:43 pm

carleekat

( stoopid se7 word )

5:43 pm

Scarlet

What was its core, Krista?

5:43 pm

Scarlet

Kat continues to grumble...

5:43 pm

Krista

never heard anything about a pyramid scheme...think 95% of them are stoopid today, Carlee!

5:43 pm

carleekat

( at least I am consistent)

5:44 pm

Krista

in a nutshell, the power of attraction..like attracts like, positive thinking, etc.

5:44 pm

Babs1

core is to live authentically from intention..or as Ghandi said...be the change you want to see in the world.

5:44 pm

Scarlet

I will Google it. I want to really know about it. You're right, Krista... in fact, that is ancient philosophy/

5:44 pm

Scarlet

More Buddhist tenets...

5:45 pm

Krista

I am all for packaging things in a digestible way, but I don't like when people make a zillion bucks from old ideas while claiming credit..still a worthwhile book..you know what I am saying, I"m sure

5:45 pm

Babs1

definitely ancient...from all the mysticism passed through eons...Gregg Braden talks about it as the Lost Art of Prayer in some of his books.

5:45 pm

carleekat

maybe that is my problem today..i need to zen the grid

5:45 pm

Krista

**serenity now** Carlee

5:45 pm

Scarlet

Then, how did that get extrapolated into a pyramid scheme... I am so confused by that little nugget... Yes, Kat... ZEN to the truth of the grid...

5:46 pm

carleekat

ohms were in yesterday's grid.THAT is the problem..no ohms today *** banging forehead off desk**

5:46 pm

Scarlet

NO hurting the kattie!

5:47 pm

Krista

I am curious, too! Google us a reference, Herin! I need to take daughter to guitar lessons. Thanks for the chat..always a pleasure.

5:47 pm

Scarlet

Later, Krista... thanks for the insights!

5:48 pm

My son's just come down to ask if we just had an earthquake as his desk was shaking and knocking against his wall for a few seconds. I didn't feel anything here (downstairs) but we have solid floors down here. The birds did just all twitter (in the dark) though. Either we've had a mini-quake or Paul's snoring VERY loudly up there!

7:28 pm

carleekat

Jacula

Earthquake felt across England
People from across central and southern England have reported an earth tremor.

The BBC has received calls from people in Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Berkshire and the West Midlands reporting an "earthquake".

The tremor could be felt in central Birmingham at about 0100 GMT but it is unclear if it has caused any damage.

The West Midlands was hit by an earthquake in 2002 in the Dudley area that reached 5.0 on the Richter scale and caused damage to homes. (That last one mentioned is the one that made my home jump up and down 3 times.)

7:33 pm

Jacula

Carlee - thank you so much for bringing the info that we couldn't get here. xx

7:33 pm

7:39 pm

7:47 pm

Jacula

Hi, pam.

7:47 pm

carleekat

hi pam

7:47 pm

evanonut

7:47 pm

pam

hi, stid and jac!

7:47 pm

Jacula

Stid - not worth 10K then?

7:47 pm

Krista

It's a trade, Carlee! We never did get much this year. Of course, our big blizzards here were in Feb and March.

7:47 pm

pam

would rather the snow than the rain, carlee...

7:47 pm

stidmama

yeah. jade otta be here at some point... where is she anyway?

7:47 pm

Jacula

7:48 pm

Aloyisius

7:48 pm

evanonut

7:48 pm

evanonut

krista, you need to listen to the older babblecasts

7:48 pm

Aussieme

hey pam, hey aloy....

7:49 pm

stidmama

too many o and e tiles, aussieme! LOL

7:49 pm

Jacula

stid - Dr_G's beard (if he really has one like the bloke from ZZTop) is so long it will preserve his modesty. So, no need to blush.

7:49 pm

pam

hi, aussie

7:49 pm

Aloyisius

sigh, I signed up for a flicker account and uploaded a couple of pics, but they are not showing up.. back to the drawing board, I guess..

7:49 pm

Krista

I'll do that when I get the chance...which rocker? Curious now.

7:49 pm

stidmama

oh -- right ZZ Top. yeah, that beard's pretty amazing, isn't it?

7:50 pm

Krista

flickr can be frustrating

7:50 pm

Aussieme

I Love you, but just not these damn u's....

7:50 pm

carleekat

i HATED this grid..I cured it...I spat on it... I jumped up and down on it with high heel shoes...and i still don't like it ...

7:50 pm

stidmama

AND, did you set the pictures so everyone can view them?

7:50 pm

stidmama

did you finish carlee?

7:50 pm

Aloyisius

no, stid, I didn't.. was that a booboo?

7:50 pm

Krista

There is a lot of love in the chog tonight. :)

7:51 pm

Aussieme

I know, nice isnt it !!

7:51 pm

evanonut

love makes the grid go round

7:51 pm

stidmama

not the screen name thing, but if you don't set the pics to be viewable by everyone then only people who get the direct link will be able to see them.

7:51 pm

carleekat

yes...I finished it..and then I dragged it through the mud and the sleet and the hail and I have left it outside in the blizzard until spring so it can rot with all the left over leaves that didn't get raked up

7:51 pm

stidmama

My head is starting to hurt again...

7:52 pm

Aussieme

I Love ALL my Babble Friends !!

7:52 pm

Jacula

Stid - you did realise that Dr_G's pic isn't really him? It's Frank Lee Beard, Zz's drummer.

7:52 pm

Aussieme

**giving stida head massage**

7:52 pm

Aloyisius

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

featherbee

7:53 pm

carleekat

( its a good thing I wasn't drinking a coke or something else fizzy...it hurts when u snort fizzy drinks)

7:53 pm

stidmama

hi feather! sorry about the migraine -- is it the strain of being back at school after a week off?

7:53 pm

lbdawger

Hi everyone! how's life treating you?

7:53 pm

carleekat

it was the air pressure from teh on coming weather..I had one earlier until the front moved thorugh

7:53 pm

Aussieme

ok, must try to dive into this grid..... oo, ee, oo, aa, ting, tang, walla walla bing bang !!

7:53 pm

7:54 pm

lbdawger

AUSSIE, CARLEE!

7:54 pm

Jacula

Don't talk to me about flickr! My proper link on here disappeared, Dr-G couldn't help, flickr staff said it's a third party thing (but didn't say who the third party was) and gave me another link to try. Babble won't accept that link either! It tells me it's an invalid username, just like all the other links I've tried. If you copy and paste the link in my bio it works.

7:54 pm

lbdawger

bye Aloy

7:54 pm

stidmama

dawg? where?

7:54 pm

Aussieme

thats nice stid.....

7:54 pm

Krista

7:57 pm

featherbee

it was a bad one, felt like i wanted to cry, felt nauseous, couldn't think straight. it's amazing how GOOD you can feel when it goes away! and i also can't believe it's gone right now.

7:57 pm

8:00 pm

carleekat

yes..to screenwasher

8:00 pm

Krista

Do you think our icon pics, like clothing, faces, or anything else visible...can give a certain impression? Do you perceive someone with a fluffy kitten in his/her icon pic as more friendly than someone with, oh, I don't know..a crab? No specific reason for asking.

8:00 pm

Jacula

lbd - Jackola Engineering & Architecture, Montana. It IS respectable. Phew!

8:00 pm

featherbee

i can't put mine over there swmbo, as i can never get signed in on there for some reason!

8:02 pm

Uniquity

Krista, if it is a person I have interacted with for a few days or longer, their icon pic is irrelevant, but on first meeting, I am (unfortuntaely) a little judgy. I read the profile and try to feel it out, but the icon is my first impression, you know?

8:02 pm

swmbo

Also, for the chat regulars, could you pass the owrd along/ THANKS!!!

8:02 pm

Why is reuben not a word? I was so proud too.

8:17 pm

Julie

8:17 pm

Julie

sorry

8:18 pm

phandmd

because it is ru?

8:18 pm

Jacula

Had to smile at something my Other Half told me when he came home from work after taking some of my homemade choc chip cookies (see icon) in... he'd given one to a workmate who, on taking the first bite, shut his eyes and then said, 'Mmmm! These are full fat, aren't they? ' and sighed with pleasure. Apparently his Other Half is on a diet and he's joining her to 'help out'.

8:18 pm

phandmd

but that isn't a word either

8:20 pm

Krista

it's a proper noun, I guess (named after Reuben??)

8:20 pm

phandmd

Yes, I may get this resolved yet

8:23 pm

Krista

Oh THAT little thing, Jac. Patrick was surprised to hear about that, and he didn't know about the one in 2002, either. I told him Babble is very educational.

8:24 pm

8:24 pm

carleekat

any aftershocks?

8:24 pm

Jacula

Patrick is your Other Half, Krista? I'm glad he now knows you are furthering your education in many, many ways when Babbling.;-)
