A Queenslander is drinking in a West Darwin bar when he gets a call on his mobile phone.
He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everyone in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced a typical baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Queenslander just shrugs, "That's about average in Queensland, fellas...like I said, my boy is a typical Queensland baby boy."
Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW"! Were heard.
One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later he returns to the bar.
The bartender says, " Hey, you're the father of that typical Queensland baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. Everybody's been making bets about how big he'd be in two weeks.
We were going to call you; so how much does he weigh now?"
The proud father answers, " 19 pounds."
The bartender is puzzled, and concerned. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born."
The Queensland father takes a slow swig from his XXXX, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bar and proudly says, "Had him circumcised"

2:21 am
loredana
Sprite have you read jais profile another special person like you
2:21 am
sprite
was just thinking the same thing, lore, after reading Jai's profile text. And now learning to be a minister... you are really in touch with the things that DO matter, I think, jai!
2:21 am
sprite
lol lore... yes, just read it. And jai is much more special than I will ever be.
2:22 am
Marmar

2:23 am
sprite
oh, I DO believe that, jai! Lovely to hear you enjoy it so much. Hard work is not a problem then, is it :) :)
2:23 am
loredana
being a healer or becoming a minister jai?
2:23 am
jaianniah
And sprite, you are just about the specialest Babbler I know!
2:23 am
loredana
i second that jai
2:23 am
sprite
that is true, lore, we are all special. And unique. And I think you call me princess because I am luckily too young and nice to be a Queen ;)
2:23 am
jaianniah
Minister- already am a healer...
2:23 am
loredana
thats only one reason you got right
2:24 am
sprite
don't think there is much difference, except in how you label things... between healer and minister, I mean.
2:24 am
loredana
jai yes were you referring to becoming a minister hard i guess so
2:24 am
jaianniah
So true, sprite, so true
2:24 am

jaianniah

2:28 am
dcseain
lady, it requires meditation, sometimes guided, to see your hunting ground, in which dwells your spirit animal, at least in my tradition. mine is a flying rat.
2:29 am
sprite
lynxxx: his foot has been diagnosed as GOUT! So we are happy, even though that is a bad thing. But it is no rheumatism and that is worth a celebration. He has better meds now and they start to kick in. Foot is less swollen and less painful now.

2:36 am

it's rare for me to be blocked in the nose enough to impact my speech. Perhaps due to the intersection of years of speech therapy when young and chronic sinus infections my whole life.

2:56 am
dcseain
dunno, jilli
2:56 am
sprite
if that were the case, she could say so, jilli, and you could explain, if at all necessary. But lady was tired from visiting many houses, so perhaps it is just that?
2:57 am
loredana
dont worry jilli herin would not be offended by any joke shes probably stressed herself out about moving and overdone things i am sure she will tell you so next time
2:57 am
dcseain
probably, sprite, she's usually one to let us know when she takes offence.
2:57 am
jillibus

Zaanstreek... Koog aan de Zaan, to be precise
3:36 am

And may i ask why you have to create gremlins? I find life produces plenty for me!
3:36 am
sprite
I drew one! I have never drawn anything recognisable in my life and now I did :)
3:36 am

Ok Sprite, your alert is hurting my brain!
3:41 am
sprite
it is a babblet, Jandy. ha4/6. A low fence that marks a border or something like that. Sounds like a good laugh.
3:42 am
Jandy
Got it, thanks Sprite!
3:43 am
sprite
wtg Jandy :) It is a recurring babblet, worth putting into memory :)
3:43 am
Jandy
In the dim recesses of my mind, it has something to do with horse jumping...

a curious mind never grows old, they say :)
3:46 am

Did I not tell you before, BR, that it's an acute intellectual curiosity, not nosiness!

The ha-ha or sunken fence is a type of boundary to a garden, pleasure-ground, or park, designed not to interrupt the view and to be invisible until closely approached. The ha-ha consists of a trench, the inner side of which is vertical and faced with stone, with the outer slope face sloped and turfed - making it in effect a sunken fence or wall.

They have no idea what he is as he was found on their doorstep. They took him to the pound and told them the would take him in if no one called. No one did so he is theirs.

Gee, I really must come back more often. Clearly I've missed tons!

4:32 am
Jacula
Oops! Forgot I still had Haz in her Cartland makeup as my icon.
4:35 am
Haz1558
Actually, when you see it in icon size, it's not half bad. Maybe I should start thinking about using a trowel instead of a make-up brush.
4:35 am
herinfernallady
Jac that sounds like my old boss
4:35 am
Jacula
Put your specs on, Haz. LOL
4:36 am
Haz1558
I'll just squint instead. Life's better when you squint at it.
4:37 am
Jacula
My Mum says that! She can see what needs dusting if she puts her specs on.

Haz1558
Aren't I? Running away with Peter Stringfellow has brought out my compassionate side.
4:51 am
Atalante
What does George think of all this Stringfellow stuff?
4:51 am
rolin
how did the peter stringfellow thing start?
4:51 am
rolin
only the fact that it wasnt a word saved you from the penalty box demi...
4:51 am
Haz1558
rolin - how could you ask such a thing. Just look at him. What's not to love?
4:52 am
Haz1558
George doesn't know about Stringfellow. And I'm trusting babblers not to give the game away.
4:52 am
demi
rolin, ur son wants to know what the penalt box is
4:53 am
Atalante
we won't. much
4:53 am
rolin
ahh... well if you say or type a word from the grid into chat...youre sent to the cyber penalty box... but its not too mad...theres usually chocolate brownies there
4:53 am
Jacula
Cheating on gorgeous George with slimey Stringfellow? You must be insane. :)
4:53 am
rolin
haz... i have to claim a lack of knowledge about the man...
4:54 am
Haz1558
Gorgeous George has paraded too many women down red carpets for my liking. A girl can only take so much. This is my revenge. Revenge of the middle-aged One.
4:54 am
Atalante
but does George ever wear leopard print thongs?
4:54 am
pinkhatlil
Hello Babblers!!
4:55 am

He wears thongs, rolin. Enough said. AND he's a stranger to the barbers.

Jacula
You might want to tinyurl that, rolin.
4:57 am

Nice to have the choice, Ata!
4:57 am
Atalante
oh yes! I'm so lucky here
4:57 am

i had to run off and do something for someone, it was pretty urgent sorry herin. i wont be stopping here for long either just poking at grid!
4:58 am
herinfernallady
Thats ok
4:58 am
Haz1558
Show of hands for Hobbit's choice of walk. Right hand for woods, left hand for fields, left foot for beach, right foot for stay at home.
4:58 am
herinfernallady
beach cause then she can get all wet and smelly
4:58 am
Haz1558
Undecideds can just shake everything vigorously.
4:58 am
Jacula
rolin - you c & p the image address and then you open a new tab and get tinyurl address up. Paste your long address into the box on the site and it gives you a short address to c & p.
4:59 am
Atalante
so ... beach and woods tie. Hmmm. Can I manage both?
4:59 am
rolin
http://tinyurl.com/ypl3j2
how cool is that site!!!

Woods first, then beach if you have time.

Haz1558
Well, I suppose if you found some buried treasure on the beach....
5:01 am
Haz1558
Or George wandering in the woods looking for someone to take pity on him.
5:01 am
rolin
ok..theres certain language we dont you here demi...but you know me well enough to pass the appropriate reaction...hmm..indeed you dont use that langauge either...*looks out*....oi..you.. you KNOW what im thinking...lol
5:02 am
Atalante
you can't bump into George while with Peter!
5:02 am
Jacula
*wishing she HADN'T read Rolin's article and trying NOT to imagine the kimono bulge thing they mentioned.*
5:02 am
Jacula
Don't talk about bumps, Ata!
5:02 am
pinkhatlil
bye bye everyone!!
5:02 am
rolin
LOL... sorry jac..i do realise its before lunch and evrything
5:02 am
Haz1558
No! That WOULD gave the game away. Although I could always claim that Stringfellow was completely unknown to me and an escapee from the home for the bewildered.
5:03 am
Atalante
does that means he plays babble? if he's in a home for the bewildered?
5:04 am
rolin
gonna take a break and play some wii tennis...bbl
5:04 am
Haz1558
No - babble is banned in the home for the bewildered. They say the chat log is too upsetting and unsettling for them.
5:04 am
demi
trumpoz: watch out for the lights.....
5:05 am
Atalante
makes sense. and I must away to walk the monster hound. back later!!
5:06 am
Jacula
Anyone looking through Rolin's window and not realising it's wii tennis will be having her sent to the home for the bewildered.:D
5:06 am
Haz1558
See you later, Atalante. I have shopping to do. I'd rather walk the dog!
5:06 am
herinfernallady
Have fun Ata
5:06 am
Atalante
ack! shop then walk the spangly one as a reward
5:06 am
Haz1558
That's a plan. Bye Ata.

Jacula
I've got to sort out a stack of flowers P's just brought home into 3 nicely arranged bouquets. He says I can have any left over flowers for myself.:/
5:08 am

He's always been too generous for his own good. 3 minimalistic bouquets coming up.
5:08 am

can anyone give me a little help with the 8s?
5:24 am
Eva
what you give a lawyer up front.
5:25 am

5:26 am
Eva
the verb form of the round green thing people hand on their doors at Christmas-then the plural
5:27 am
shoelessdwarf
thanks eva
5:28 am
Eva
I'm finding the 7's more difficult-only have 2 of them
5:28 am
movieman
Eva, I don't think that lawyer clue works
5:30 am
Eva
sorry-you're right....had it in my mind but tried and it didn'twork because you need another r. Sorry shoeless for misleading. The de8 is still correct, and the 2 wr's. The other one I have is a th8/50 which is a weird past vern form of when you say you are going to do something bad to someone.
5:34 am
Frances
Good morning all.
What you could say is - what you give a lawyer up front but change the first letter to D.
5:35 am
Eva
love your badger frances. I've never seen one up close. Don't think we have them in New England. we have, however, enough snow for anyone who would like some.
5:36 am
P.J.
Good morning all!
5:36 am
Eva
shoeless-did you get the correction re the lawyer clue?
5:36 am
Frances
Would love some Eva. Our winters are getting warmer and warmer. We always used to get snow but now we don't. None here this winter.
5:37 am
Eva
We were that way last year (awful for the local economy), and the year before was barely better. This winter has been, I think, the snowiest in 50 years, and we have set records for lowest temp for February.
5:39 am
Frances
Today is brilliant sunshine but it is howling a gale - been blowing for twenty four hours now. That on top of the earthquake the other day!
5:39 am
P.J.
hi Eva,I sure am tired of the snow. I want to play in my flower gardens......:-)
5:39 am
Eva
was it a significant earthquake?!
5:41 am
Frances
5.4 on the richter scale. It was at one o'clock in the morning. I happened to be awake. I can only describe it as like being on a bumpy magic carpet ride.
5:41 am
Eva
I know hodag. The snow on my garden is above my head. But at least this year the perennials are well protected from frost. For the first time I'm going to build mini greenhouses for the raised beds, so I can begin a month early and go longer. The vision of mud season this year makes me think of the old horror movie "The Blob".
5:42 am
Frances
Hello hodag. Didn't see you sneak in there.
5:42 am
Eva
Wow Frances. I didn't know that England had quakes of that magnitude.
5:43 am
P.J.
Hi Fran,I'm glad you are OK!!!!!!
5:44 am
Frances
It was very deep so damage was not too bad. Had it been nearer the surface it would have been a lot worse. Mainly fallen chimney stacks.
5:45 am
P.J.
Oh my goodness!! I think I'll put up with the snow..lol
5:50 am
Angelsong
morning, all. Welcome to March. Spring is on the way in the Northern Hemisphere. I posted Babble stats in the chat yesterday for February and the year to date.

Eva you have a lot more then we do although we have lost it a couple of times.We got anther 6 in. yesterday and we're suppose to get more today then changing to rain and back to freezing drizzel(ECK)

6:15 am
Scrabbler
Guess what? her husband called me last night to thank me for visiting her on Wednesday. A MRI on Thursday showed that the tumor is 4x3x3 mm now!!! It started out 17 x 11x7 mm. So the chemo is doing its work! He is SO happy: "I think we could beat this."

periwinkle
Wow, great news, Scrabbler
6:16 am
P.J.
hi ya Scrabbler!!
6:16 am
Scrabbler
She is very weak and tired. She barely ate dinner before she fell asleep. Fighting cancer comes at a great cost, and brain cancer patients really get slammed when their brain is radiated.
6:17 am
Angelsong
I got news on Thursday...I'm going to be grammy for the 3rd time....
6:17 am
Scrabbler
Is the X used in any words?

I'd want the4star too...though I amnotsonice, so being at a front desk eachday....would killme!
6:49 am
Frances
Just making some melting moments RTH but you'll have to wait for them to come out of the oven.
6:50 am
carleekat
whats ameltling moment?
6:50 am
redturtlehead
Oh Frances, I am jealous. All I have in the fridge is yogurt and salad.
6:50 am
Aloyisius
lol, red... smiling all day?
6:50 am
Frances
Melting moments - vanilla cookies that melt in the mouth.
6:51 am
carleekat
oh its easyt o be nice and spend other peoples money...
6:51 am
carleekat
ok..never heartd of them frances
6:51 am
redturtlehead
I've had a particularly bad week,butI ams tarting to feel better Yogurt, I like, Salad I like but I could deal with cookie.
6:51 am
redturtlehead
Oooh, Smiling all day, could not do it. I at least amnot required to smilefor my job.
6:52 am
carleekat
i just got an 8 yippee
6:52 am
Aloyisius
wtg, carlee!
6:52 am
redturtlehead
Yay Carlee!
6:52 am
carleekat
oh...u only have to smile to the public....u go to behind front desk ( there usually a room ) and curse and swear like a sailor
6:53 am
Aloyisius
brb, need more coffeeeeeeeeeeee
6:53 am
Frances
But RTH if you had a job that made you happy, surely smiling would not be a problem.
6:54 am
redturtlehead
My job makes me "Happy" but there is a lot of times when similing is entirely in-appropriate....
6:54 am
redturtlehead
Without the paycheck though, my job would not make me happy. the other day i rememberworking an off shift and consistentlytelling myself,"You are doing this forthe money" over and over again.
6:55 am
Frances
My last job, before I retired was the worst paid job I ever had but I was really happy doing it. I loved it and because I was always smiling, my boss was too.
6:56 am
redturtlehead
I suppose I don'thave a smiley job...but then again, people I qork with are sometimes seriously injured or near death and smiling constantly when trying to revive someone just isn't quite needed.
6:57 am
Frances
I can understand that RTH. Must be very stressful.
6:58 am
carleekat
it was people like u who took care of my husband...
6:58 am
Angelsong
19 words to go.
6:59 am
Frances
How is your husband now carlee? Is he at home full time?
6:59 am
carleekat
yeap..all the time... unless is at physio
6:59 am
carleekat
been home since nov 23
7:00 am
Frances
Must be very hard work for you. Are you coping?
7:00 am
carleekat
i am surviving frances.... I Don't have a choice in the matter
7:01 am
Frances
I hope you get lots of help and time for yourself.
7:02 am
carleekat
there is not help frances....his mother expects me to do it all... my mother has done enough... his brothers refuse to help in any way shape or form... and babble is my time
7:04 am
Frances
I am so sorry carlee. That is really hard. You don't need relatives like that. I am so pleased that you are able to make time for talking to us........and babble of course.
7:05 am
carleekat
thanks frances..i try not to anymore...u all are sick to death of it
7:06 am

Bye carlee. You have a good day. Thinking of you. {{{{{hugs}}}}}
7:07 am
Anniebrook
((carlee)) I wish I was there too, I would help you. What a horrible mother and mother-in-law!
7:08 am
Aloyisius
see you next time, carlee..
7:08 am
Frances
Annie don't think it was her mother. Shje said that she had done enough. Think it is his family.
7:09 am
Anniebrook
I was referring to her husband's mother.
7:09 am
Frances
Ah OK just thought when you said mother and mother in law.
7:10 am
Anniebrook
Frances, she could be helping her son but she seems to be a not nice person in other ways too.
7:10 am
Frances
You would think a mother would be pleased to help her son in that predicament.
7:11 am
Anniebrook
Frances, yes, you would think that. she sounds selfish and the brothers could help too.
7:12 am
Frances
I cannot imagine not wanting to help my son in that sort of situation. Totally incomprehensible.
7:13 am
Anniebrook
Yes, to me too. It takes all kinds, I guess.
7:13 am
flosey
I think most mothers would want to be there with their sons or daughters almost to a point of becoming a nuisance
7:13 am
Frances
Exactly!!!
7:14 am
Anniebrook
I agree
7:14 am
flosey
your kids hurt - you hurt
7:18 am
Frances
If you're any sort of decent mother.
7:18 am
flosey
even normal mother
7:22 am
flosey
guess we've raked her over the coals enough, wonder if her ears are burning
7:23 am
Anniebrook
they should be..I dont understand a mother like that
7:25 am
Frances
Makes me very angry. Need to make a cuppa. Back in a min.
7:29 am

this is all new to me
8:24 am
Haz1558
It happens because of the design of the chat log. You just have to somehow get into the habit of switching back to add words. Everyone does it at some time or another.
8:24 am
LadyNatts
that's okay, offdutymom... we all do it
8:24 am
offdutymom

8:25 am
LadyNatts

8:27 am
Haz1558
rh6/27 - (difficult to clue so bear with me)
8:28 am
silversarah
wr4 any clues?
8:28 am
Haz1558
rh, first three letters of the proper term for a greenfly, finish with a vowel.
8:28 am
FMitch
Gosh if you can't clue it Haz, it ust be a sticky one!
8:28 am
Haz1558

8:28 am
LadyNatts

8:29 am
FMitch
lol Lady nothing like a gentle start to the day :)
8:29 am
dan2bit
greenfly might be a bit too brit for me :-)
8:29 am
Haz1558
rh, first three letters of the greenfly, finish with a latin feminine plural ending
8:29 am
Haz1558
The second rh7 is the plural of rh6
8:30 am
Haz1558
Google greenfly and see what it is, then work the rest of the clue from there.
8:30 am
Haz1558
OR first four letters of Gershwin's blue dream, three letters of Scots 'to possess' (first rh7)
8:31 am
FMitch
That works and Im not even gridding yet, must remember that for later!
8:32 am

8:38 am
LoriP
Hey nono! :-0
8:38 am
Haz1558
I'm glad they worked, eventually, Nono. I had to laugh the other day when I gave what I thought was a reasonable clue - it didn't work for one babbler who said 'thanks for trying'.....
8:39 am
LoriP
Uni and I have been giggling for days. Makeup is such a powerful tool. :-)
8:39 am
Atalante
thanks for trying. OMG!
8:39 am
Atalante
did the babbler begin with M?
8:39 am
LoriP
Ouch! That's harsh.....
8:40 am
Haz1558
I know, Atalante, it sounded so funny. I don't think she meant to be condescending but it was hilarious.
8:40 am
NonoNanette

8:45 am
Enomis65
it is quite early to be playing with make up!!!
8:45 am
Haz1558
You should know better than to ask 'why' about the chat log. It just evolves.
8:45 am
FMitch
Vi you look lovely and thank you - you are the only one who followed my suggestion.
8:45 am
LoriP
Well, methinks Ata Hari has perchance skiped meds for a few days too many, and had a total psychotic break.
8:45 am
stidmama

As long as the leek doesn't leak, mascara on a leek is fine.

Surely a leek would make the mascara run?

9:12 am
NonoNanette

rolin

9:15 am
rolin
oh stay this side..... round canterbury is so beautiful
9:15 am
Vicuna
Ata is so elegant that even her doorstep is a palace.
9:16 am
FMitch
I dream of a little cottage, palaces are overrated
9:16 am
redturtlehead
palaces, hard to keep clean
9:16 am
Atalante

9:17 am

What sort of dog do you have Ata?
9:17 am
FMitch
I want rural and sea and a greenhouse and a dog and a cat and a fast broadband connection...

9:17 am
Atalante
cocker spaniel
9:17 am
Vicuna

redturtlehead
Must make coffee immediately.
9:44 am
Angelsong
it really is true: the more you count your blessings, the more blessings you have to count.
9:45 am

It is the being aware of the blessings that puts the harder times in perspective, Angel... you really sound so peaceful.
9:46 am
Angelsong
I am....enfolded in serenity.
9:46 am

Lovely, and inspiring. You are aptly named for your Babble handle.

9:53 am
Lindrickway
bye FM
9:53 am
Vicuna
The best was when "sorry" was in the grid, and every time someone got scolded they would reply "sorry" and get scolded again.
9:53 am
redturtlehead
bye FM see you later.
9:53 am
Atalante
or when "grid" is in the grid
9:53 am
redturtlehead

9:54 am
Scarlet
She loves it, red.
9:54 am
redturtlehead
I think I recall that moment Ruru....
9:54 am

9:55 am
redturtlehead

rururocks

9:55 am
rururocks
poor aloy she kept trying to clue me and finally gave up...lol
9:55 am

9:55 am
silversarah

9:56 am
silversarah

9:56 am
rururocks
*****boring!!!!!***
9:56 am
redturtlehead
if you get babble expert, I think it has a way to avoid it, but its much mor fun without.
9:56 am
redturtlehead
more fun.
9:56 am
redturtlehead
I need to change my Icon, but I am not feeling very Welshy.
9:56 am
Vicuna
Utilizing exclusively sesquidapelian lingusitic formations precludes the penalty box effectively, too.
9:56 am
redturtlehead
Ahh, I know.
9:56 am
Scarlet
Here, red... have a leek!
9:57 am
Scarlet
Vicuna, Buckley has gone on to the great Thesaurus in the sky

(At least you didn't tell her to take a leek!)
9:57 am

Whooping cough? Wow, Lindrick, I thought that disease had been eradicated. Shows how naive I am.
10:18 am

I have had it for 3 months so far!!
10:19 am
dcseain
whooping cough! my goodness
10:20 am

Oh, my goodness, Lindrick. That is really awful. Sounds very much like New York City having to deal with some virulent tuberculosis outbreaks... the antibiotic-resistant strains... that is awful for you.
10:20 am
Lindrickway
I have never been ill in my life and now i am getting it all in one go!
10:20 am

Well i don't feel ill anymore, I am just left with an horrendous cough that makes my ribs ache

along with flu and "para-influenza"
10:22 am
72 Temple Owl
fairly localized, we are told, but lindrick is making me wonder
10:22 am
Scarlet
No wonder I really dislike dealing with crowds... I won't even go to the ballpark anymore...
10:23 am
Lindrickway
the mean thing is Scarlet with whooping cough you are contagious only up to the point of diagnosis basically, so you pass it on before you even know what it is!
10:24 am
Lindrickway
Then when you find out you have it, you are cleared to go anywhere!
10:24 am
Scarlet
Typhoid Marys all over the creation...

either dpt shots have worn off, or chldren are no longer getting them
10:24 am

influenza B is rampant around here, and we have one of the nation's highets TB rates, too, including being one of teh origin points for a strain of drug-resistant TB
10:25 am

Oh yes please Haz
10:26 am

no thanks, i think i'll just retreat to my bubble. like bubble boy.
10:26 am
redturtlehead
but, sometimes they do not work. I know right now I am not immune to measles,I need to get revaccinated...
10:26 am
Scarlet
Many of our schools have shut down due to Influenza B... I don't "get" the outbreaks... has Whooping Cough mutated to the extent that the vaccinations no longer are effective?
10:26 am
redturtlehead
and TB, just so you know, is really really hard to get...
10:26 am
Scarlet
LOL, Owl... same here...
10:26 am

Most of what I am seeing in kids is Croup, which is contagious, btu not vacciened against.
10:26 am

Vaccinations only last for so long and I had mine about 35 years ago Scarlet

i know TB is not that easy to catch, red. Were it, we'd all have it, i'm sure.
10:27 am

croup is a viral illness that causes the barky cough in kiddos, it causes anarrowing of their airway...
10:28 am
Scarlet
Oh, Lindrick... I am only a few minutes younger than the Himalayas... I'd better think about a re-up on the vaccinations...
10:28 am
redturtlehead
Go Scarlet go!!

ahhhhh Pe** that makes sense, it is the law of having money. If you don't have any to spend you will see loads, as soon as you can afford to buy something it will all have gone
11:17 am
JBV
if you substitute ag for the e - it means a person related by patrilineal descent - I find these so interesting
11:18 am
periwinkle
I never pay retail for anything. Always go to the clearance section first
11:18 am

Isn't it? rh6 takes one vowel away, the second rh7 becomes a plural.
11:21 am
Book Doctor Gwen
haz, excellent clue, TY
11:21 am

11:26 am

rh7 - the first. Think of Queen's song, Bohemian rh******. Use the first four letters, then Scots 'to own' or possess.

Citronella
The citronella plant is called by many different names, but technically it is called Pelargonium citriodorum (lemon scented geranium). Geraniums like a loamy soil that is well drained and enriched with bone meal. Don't use too much nitrogen or your plant will have lots of leaf growth and no flowers. The citronella plant likes lots of sun and a temperature of between 50 and 60 degrees F. When the pot they are in gets root bound, you can transplant it into a pot a size or two larger. The soil should be kept moist but not wet. When you do water, saturate the whole root ball. If the plant is growing leggy (as happens in the winter) you can pinch back the top growth, which will spur the plant into growing out, more than up. When bringing geraniums in for the winter, you should cut the plants way back and pot them up (if not already in a pot). Water them sparingly till they send out new growth in the late winter. They should also be kept where the temperature is not too high.

12:44 pm
Farruska
aprilrain, you're not the only one ;-) I'm a mathematician (university) and when I'm stuck I alwyas go with the logic approach :D
12:44 pm
aprilrain
I'm rather out of the closet, carleekat. I couldn't hide it for long.
12:45 pm
Scarlet
Okay, kattie... lob snowballs at my head!!
12:45 pm

Just google Free Rice. I found it a bit boring after a few days but it was fun
12:45 pm
Scarlet
You HAVE to use logic, or else you would flounder... or be an absolute genius to start....
12:45 pm

de6 is what the police are doing to you when they put you in a jail cell because you've been drinking too much and you have to lseep it off.

Too late, Uni... she needs to be water-boarded...

carleekat
i think it woul dbe fun one day if we all used words we found in chat....just dropped them all in there...without teling anyone
12:48 pm
Farruska
out of curiosity, how many of you here who's mother language is not English ?
12:48 pm
carleekat
the obscure ones woul dbe obvious...but the common ones... I think it would be rather funny for 1 day
12:49 pm
Scarlet
There are many, Farruska... some from the Netherlands, whose English is more advanced than native speakers.
12:49 pm
aprilrain
some words are rather hard to use in chat. . . because some words are rather obscure. I clicked on the definition for one of them the other day, and it was something like a word used in india to describe something that traps elephants. I'm pretty sure I'd never use that
12:49 pm
carleekat
yea..i know...but words like then... great etc....
12:49 pm
carleekat
u would just use them...
12:49 pm

We have one Canadian... not carleekat... whose mother tongue is French, but who speaks perfect, and advanced, English

that was probably it, scarlet. You must be a genius for remembering such things
12:52 pm
Uniquity
My province is very French and most frenchies are raised in english speaking households...i can understand french but not communicate it back. NS is full of give and take
12:52 pm
Scarlet
No, but I do love words... they have,...a... "taste" to them, April.
12:53 pm
aprilrain
Are you synaesthesic?
12:53 pm
aprilrain
I might have spelled that wrong
12:53 pm
dcseain
i can understand the French also, but can't cummuniacte back well.
12:53 pm

Yes! How astute you are, april.
12:53 pm

in my country children are raised in portuguese only, we do have English or French when we reach the age of 10. I had French at 10 and English officially at 15 although I self taught me at age of 4 . Now I'm stuck with German :-D
12:54 pm

my finnish friend is too red... with colours... how funny
12:54 pm
Scarlet
kattie, to me, is the fragrance of coffee, April... all people have a sound and a flavor...
12:55 pm
Scarlet
Wow, kat... that is amazing... maybe a cultural and heritage inborn factor...
12:55 pm
aprilrain
Is that why you're scarlet? Does it taste good?
12:55 pm
Uniquity
That's so cool, Red!
12:55 pm
carleekat
perhaps... I tend to see colours around people... in person...
12:56 pm
Scarlet
No, I am Scarlet because my daughter (1812 Overture) (brilliant yellow) named the handle here first, and gave me the site.
12:56 pm
carleekat
( now red...am I coffee as in kattie..or my actual name?)
12:56 pm
Uniquity
Now I want to meet you Scarlet, so I can be classified
12:57 pm

12:58 pm

...Well, I think you should be hired by someone for profiling....mint is my favorite "flavor", always has been and I am sure by rock tendencies precede me...
12:59 pm
Scarlet
April is a warm wheat field, and Tchaikovsky...Journey Through the Snow...
12:59 pm
Scarlet
Well then, Uni... you speak, my synesthesia listens... LOL

12:59 pm
aprilrain
I like it, Scarlet :-D
1:00 pm
Farruska
profiling ? can you profile me ? :->
1:00 pm
aprilrain
for me-- some words have textures, but not all of them and I can't describe them because it's not a verbal or image thing
1:00 pm
praise2him
wow scarlet--how about me??
1:00 pm
aprilrain
and i'm not really sure it qualifies as synesthesia
1:01 pm
Scarlet
I only have a basic "sense" of you, Farruska... chocolate... gentle sounds interrupted by thunder and lightning sometimes...
1:01 pm
carleekat
words have a rhythmn for me.......a tempo... a caddence...its the movement of a different word that I use to remember
1:01 pm
Uniquity
I have always had mental quirks, but despite my readings on synaesthesia I have yet to devleop an extra sense. I have the family intuitions though...my dreams and feelings are very important and I try to listen to myself.
1:02 pm
Farruska
@Scarlet :D very well :-) quite close in fact
1:02 pm
aprilrain
That's cool too uniquity
1:02 pm
Scarlet
It is not a developed sense, Uni... as a youngster, I was considered quite "odd".... LOL, Farruska...
1:02 pm
Uniquity
When I was younger I had an OCD quality where I would think sentences only if they followed a grouping of four syllables. Had to multiply by three or four...spent ages doing that. I think I might just have been bored though!
1:02 pm
carleekat
red...odd...red...odd...nah..can't see it <giggle>
1:02 pm
autumn moon
well, stopping at 59 and will be back later. Off to knit for a while.
1:02 pm

I wonder if games like this draw a high proportion of "quirky" people, or if everyone has their own quirk like that and you don't know until you discuss it in this sort of context
1:03 pm

See you soon, autumn!!

1:04 pm

I'm really quirky to the extent that i don't fit in with my peers, but i got invited to go out with some people from one of my university classes this week and that made me very very happy :-D It's fun being normal!

The mystical individuals gravitate toward one another, that is true, seain.
1:08 pm
Uniquity
I have found a small group of people my own age that I can spend time with, but I don't identify with their interests or opinions at all...I tend to be the voice of reason and maturity, lol

I know, doesn't that shock you Ata? But yet, I am..outside of babble. This is my wonderland...I always feel like Alice here!
1:09 pm
Atalante
me too, really, Uni :)
1:09 pm
dcseain
april, by mystics, i mean we encompass a wide range of spritiuality, not all the same, that focus on the esoteric aspects of the divine, and direct conection with the divine.
1:10 pm
aprilrain
interesting
1:10 pm
nancethefan
man, it's getting heavy in here - lol
1:10 pm
dcseain
we have belief in a wide variety of paranormal things, which we percieve as normal, many, but not all, of us are animists.
1:10 pm
Scarlet
It has to be the "connectedness" that is not easily definable...
1:10 pm
Uniquity
Well, I must say I find that a difficult concept to wrap my head around as I feel it would be a very personal and individuated "experience" but sounds very..satisfying, I guess is the best word
1:11 pm

1:18 pm

okay, i am going to kick myself off of here to go be productive. Hopefully I will be able to come back later to finish--unlike yesterday.
1:18 pm

It's about the "sound" translating to a solid attachment in the consciousness.

scarlet, ever read about the saints at vatican.va? The article about Saint Barbara is fascinating, from her origins as a babalonian goddess, and how the folded other goddesses into her, the last one in the netherlands .
1:40 pm
jimmel
thx, dc...one more b4 taking a break...hadn't looked for that one yet
1:40 pm
Scarlet
I was named Barbara at birth, seain... so, I am quite well-acquainted with her, as well as the fact that the Vatican de-mitted her from the saints' pantheon...
1:41 pm
Scarlet
Along with Christopher, I believe, at the same time...
1:41 pm
jimmel
Scarlet, I see you live in Asheville...my bro and his wife are in Hendersonville...and we're near Knoxville (well, not at the moment...we're in FL). I love that area!
1:42 pm
dcseain
yes, rather hypocritical of them, but that's the Church of Rome; pardon my bias.
1:43 pm
LadyNatts
unable to monkey the aa :(
1:44 pm
Scarlet
Wow, mrae... we were in Hendersonville the other day! Yes, I know, seain... no bias, it's an opinion, and one that is shared by others...
1:44 pm
Scarlet
When you see fireworks, you OO*** and AA***
1:44 pm
