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"

loredana

Sprite have you read jais profile another special person like you
2:21 am

loredana

2:23 am
jaianniah

Minister- already am a healer...
2:23 am
loredana

thats only one reason you got right
2:24 am

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.

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.

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

rolin, ur son wants to know what the penalt box is
4:53 am
Atalante

we won't. much

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.

4:58 am

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

so ... beach and woods tie. Hmmm. Can I manage both?

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.
5:02 am
rolin

bye pink
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

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

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.

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

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

Oh my goodness!! I think I'll put up with the snow..lol

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."

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.

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.

I can understand that RTH. Must be very stressful.

Annie don't think it was her mother. Shje said that she had done enough. Think it is his family.
7:09 am

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

I think most mothers would want to be there with their sons or daughters almost to a point of becoming a nuisance

Exactly!!!

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

rh6/27 - (difficult to clue so bear with me)
8:28 am

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)

8:38 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

Uni and I have been giggling for days. Makeup is such a powerful tool. :-)
8:39 am

8:45 am
FMitch

Vi you look lovely and thank you - you are the only one who followed my suggestion.

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

LOL, silversarah... some days, it just pays to give in a bit.
10:19 am
Lindrickway

I think it almost was Scarlet, but there has been an epidemic here in Toronto apparently
10:19 am
dcseain

scarlet, this one flows in fits and starts
10:19 am
Lindrickway

I have had it for 3 months so far!!
10:19 am
dcseain

whooping cough! my goodness
10:19 am
Lindrickway

lol
10:20 am
Scarlet

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
Lindrickway

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

10:21 am

Is there any real treatment for it, Lindrick?
10:21 am
Scarlet

Oh, no, Owl... I hadn't heard of that.
10:21 am
Lindrickway

nothing at all
10:21 am
Lindrickway

I am just living on Halls cough sweets!!
10:21 am
72 Temple Owl

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
Lindrickway

lol
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...
10:24 am
72 Temple Owl

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

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

10:26 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

I think it's too late for you, Lindrick!
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

10:27 am
dcseain

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

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!!
10:28 am
Scarlet

LOL, red!
10:29 am

All this talk of illness. Can we go back to the subject of alcohol please?

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.

Why on earth did Lori tell you it was easy today, Uni?
12:39 pm
carleekat

true enough..... I just rather prerend to be a snob and get paid for it..then actually be a snob..fortunately for me I have the perfectly shaped nose to pull it off with a straight face
12:40 pm

i think this is a difficult grid - buy i'm just saying
12:40 pm

I don't know...she said she flew through it! We tend to disagree, however...
12:40 pm
aprilrain

that's pretty brilliant, carleekat
12:40 pm
carleekat

i'm only up to 56 words..mind I haven't spent any time on it...
12:40 pm
Scarlet

Wow... that's deep, kattie!
12:41 pm
carleekat

yea...deep in pig poop <giggle>
12:41 pm
Scarlet

Maybe she just flew through it, Uni. The other day, people were complaining that it was hard, and I flew over it very quickly.
12:41 pm
carleekat

that would almost make me..a prig..oops..I just let a word slip..my bad
12:41 pm

do you know the vocabulary practice - donate rice game ?
12:42 pm
Scarlet

What words, Farruska?
12:43 pm
Scarlet

Right, Uni!
12:43 pm
carleekat

oh..red dropped a word..i'm contagious
12:43 pm
Scarlet

Yes, many of us love it, and it helps the world, Farruska!
12:43 pm
Farruska

words like prig :)
12:43 pm
java2

Free rice?
12:43 pm
aprilrain

Farruska-- sometimes if you don't know the word you can use the word list to figure out what it has to be mathematically. Or maybe I'm the only one who does that because I am a nerd and such
12:43 pm
Scarlet

Right, java.
12:44 pm
Farruska

yes, free rice :) play it every day
12:44 pm
carleekat

( we're all closet nerds april )

Many of use the mathematical help too, april. It helps.

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
lynxxx

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
aprilrain

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.
12:45 pm

de6 to hold in custody or just plain hold back
12:45 pm

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

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

No, but I do love words... they have,...a... "taste" to them, April.
12:53 pm

Are you synaesthesic?

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

12:54 pm

kattie, to me, is the fragrance of coffee, April... all people have a sound and a flavor...
12:55 pm

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

No, I am Scarlet because my daughter (1812 Overture) (brilliant yellow) named the handle here first, and gave me the site.
12:56 pm

12:56 pm

Farruska

profiling ? can you profile me ? :->
1:00 pm

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

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
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

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

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***
