flosey name is: God Grew Tired of Us.. here is the blurb info: After raising themselves in the desert along with thousands of other parentless "lost boys," Sudanese refugees John, Daniel and Panther have found their way to America, where they experience electricity, running water and supermarkets for the first time. Capturing their wonder at things Westerners take for granted, this documentary, an award winner at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, paints an intimate portrait of strangers in a strange land.

1:46 am

ddb4nana

1:53 am

jillibus

I'm hoping the headache I have and the one side of the throat sore doesn't mean anything...

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

another sp 7/32 and a related form 8/45... looks like the body part starting with same 1st 3 letters

2:05 am

herinfernallady

How are you?

2:05 am

jillibus

hi herin

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

pretty good; how about you lady

2:06 am

herinfernallady

good just got back from the library

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

I did that last Friday... found so many fun books... Evanovich, Nancy Fairbanks, Joanne Fluke... fluffy mysteries

2:09 am

herinfernallady

our local library is fairly poor. I am getting a book ordered in from another library

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

the one I go too is puny too, but they are all so very nice... will get books from other places, just like yours.... I love going to the library LOL... feel like a kid....

2:10 am

herinfernallady

I like librabies and im not used to this tiny little library that we have

2:12 am

herinfernallady

I am used to 'get lost for hours' library's

2:13 am

herinfernallady

One of my earliest memories is sitting in the egg shaped window at the library when i was a kid

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

I totally understand

2:14 am

herinfernallady

So how are you Volley?

2:14 am

jillibus

our small library has over 40,000 books plus DVDs, tapes. etc and interlibrary loans. I work there -- it's run by 2 part-time pros and 150 volunteers

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Thats Small? Not in my world sigh that sounds lovely

2:15 am

herinfernallady

?

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

hanging in there lady... our weather has been nuts, so my RA has been painful... but have been reading alot, babbling, and doing a little needlework... so life is good

2:16 am

jillibus

people like it. There are magazines too, free computers, copier, and a great kids' section downstairs

2:17 am

herinfernallady

Needle work is good for bad hands

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Jill that sounds lovely our library has free 'local' library connections

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

helps keep my fingers limber, but sometimes it kills my thumbs, must be how I hold the needle... not really sure. I'm not great, but I make simple things like bread covers, table runners...

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like a fun place to work jili

2:18 am

herinfernallady

I am currently hunting down a full list of Jodi Picoult books

2:19 am

jillibus

it's great, dee

2:19 am

herinfernallady

Jill that sounds like a fun volunteer job.

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

oh lady.. I just finished her book, "My Sister's Keeper"... wow what a twist at the end of that one

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

I had never read any of her books before

2:21 am

herinfernallady

I want to start reading the very first book. Ill just borrow them. I have already made a bad book choice this year

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

I have a cousin in NC who has her degree in library science. She is librarian at a grade school and also teaches 4th - 6th graders how to use the net for research...

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

what was her first one lady?

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

and of course closely watches that they don't end up places they shouldn't...

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Um looking now

2:24 am

herinfernallady

SOngs of the humback whale

2:24 am

jillibus

herin, it's been perfect for me -- meeting like-minded people, lots of laughs, feeling useful, seeing lots of good books, magazines, helping people learn to use computers, etc etc

2:24 am

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Night Jill. Also Jill you are an inspiration

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

ty lady; I'll check it out. jili I hope you feel better!!!

2:27 am

herinfernallady

Volley i made a really horrid book choice today so now im going to read Harry Potter

2:27 am

jillibus

thanks herin and dee xoxoxo *poof*

2:28 am

herinfernallady

Question: Would it be really mean of me to email an writer and tell her what i think of her book (its not good)

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

what book was horrid? I have never read the Harry Potter books... I've seen a few of the movies; I am just not a fan of wizadry, so didn't want to spend so much time on such large books. Have you read any Sue Crafton books?

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

I have done that before; I just make sure I criticize the work, rather than attacking the author.

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

pa 8/65

2:30 am

herinfernallady

The Book was Keri Arthur's Full moon rising. Its just sloppy

2:30 am

herinfernallady

No i haven't read Sue Crafton.

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

she is nicknamed the alphabet author... mysteries... starting with letters ... I think she is up to "S"

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

http://www.suegrafton.com/

2:32 am

herinfernallady

One of my main gripes is the sloppiness of the writing for instance a bunch of vampires attack this club (random factoid not going anywhere in story) and she mentions that two of the women were raped. My point with this is there is no need to include that as there is no point in it. Also her technology is sloppy.

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

then, you should share those observations ...

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

have you seen the movie August Rush yet?

2:34 am

herinfernallady

I am thinking so. I think its just that i am a big nerd and a big role playing nerd. No to that movie.

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

great flic... worth seeing just for the music in it...

2:36 am

herinfernallady

http://www.apple.com/trailers/ i like to look here for future movies

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

I'll check that out; I have only used netflix.com and imdb.com

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

you always have great websites to investigate

2:38 am

herinfernallady

I like to trawl about the net you never know what youll find

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

I love ask.com for that very reason

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

li 6/24... have never heard that word before...

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

here's the meaning... odd word . 1. a slightly rough or ripply surface on a body of water.
2. spray from small waves.

2:41 am

herinfernallady

oh dear. I just found a very odd movie Zombie Strippers

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

yuk

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

Robin Williams is in August Rush... plays a really strange part... wish I had the cd for just the music...

2:43 am

herinfernallady

i think i just cracked up laughing at its badness of it. OH i have heard of that movie

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

lol

2:44 am

herinfernallady

my nets just died

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

how can you still be here?

2:50 am

herinfernallady

I am here. I just rebooted

2:51 am

herinfernallady

I just found that you can get the August Rush cd at Amazon.com

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

2:52 am

herinfernallady

5:38 am

MonkeyGames

MonkeyGames

OK, got to get Walter up for his nap. Back in a while.

kje

OK angel (are you sure your not getting a kickback?)

6:19 am

MonkeyGames

The pancakes themselves ar epretty straightforward. Thin things made of milk and flour and eggs and chili powder. But the fillings use Korean spicing and teh whole affair is a Korean dish.

6:21 am

MonkeyGames

They're good. Just do a Google on Guchul Pan, and you'll find 'em. Easier than they sound, too, just a tad time consuming.

6:22 am

MonkeyGames

The dipping sauce is best with Chinkiang vinegar, but what isn't? That's at most Asian groceries.

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Ok a tiffin is a stack of food (think Bento but small stack of tins)

6:22 am

MonkeyGames

What's a Bento?

6:22 am

Bento is a box of fud

6:25 am

MonkeyGames

Mumbai? What kind of food? Sounds really yummy!

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Indian

6:25 am

carleekat

koshary is the "staple food" of egypt... meaning..its is equivalent to mac and cheese in North america...or... eggs and chips in england

6:26 am

MonkeyGames

Of course.... I cook from several regions. I'll look up Mumbai recipes.

6:26 am

MonkeyGames

Great, Carlee! What IS it, though?

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Its a great way to make sure your rice isn't soggy and your bread is covered in goo

6:26 am

carleekat

its a mixture of long grain rice..over cooked macaronis ( they like pasta cooked to soft there ) and lentils..with diced tomatoes..and fried onions...then baked

6:27 am

herinfernallady

OH carlee i need to look that up

6:27 am

MonkeyGames

That sounds really nice. Thanks!

6:27 am

carleekat

am just finishing the macaronis... then pour over the tomatoes..and sponn on the onions..and bake

6:27 am

our next-door neighbor gave us a weed-eater yesterday.

6:27 am

6:28 am

herinfernallady

I am a puss id have to leave at the hot

6:28 am

herinfernallady

leave out the hot even

6:31 am

carleekat

oh...the hot BARELY there... cus rice and macaronis naturally kill the hot

6:31 am

herinfernallady

I am a puss

6:32 am

carleekat

no seriously herin..if u ever in a situation where the food to hot foryour palete....spoon it over rice... cuts the heat in 1/2

6:33 am

herinfernallady

I just avoid hot

6:33 am

carleekat

i put in...to a pan to serve about 30...maybe 1/4 tsp of cayene... I'm doing this the EASY way

6:33 am

carleekat

this grid stinks

6:33 am

herinfernallady

yep

6:33 am

herinfernallady

eww

6:36 am

MonkeyGames

Ooh, that can be a problem! Sometimes when I'm frying up the peppers for various dinners I smoke us all out with the pepper gas, though, but at least that can be aired out. I have no suggestions... snort milk???

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Poor love

6:37 am

Hello!

I don't like it Fran

6:38 am

herinfernallady

eww

6:38 am

frantique

perhaps eat some bread.

6:39 am

herinfernallady

I like snort the milk as a concept

6:40 am

frantique

people make the mistake of grabbing a glass of water when somehting is hot. that just spreads the heat.. besides, most hot things are oil based.. so water doesnt wash it away.. you have to eat bread or like carlee said.. rice

6:40 am

herinfernallady

bread

6:40 am

MonkeyGames

Milk is one of the things that does pick up the chili. But she got it up her nose.

6:40 am

frantique

sees someone stuffing bread sticks up their nostrals

6:41 am

herinfernallady

I still say snort milk

6:41 am

frantique

me too! your right snorting milk might help.. it couldnt hurt

6:42 am

frantique

or she can drink a glass and we can make her laugh till it comes out her nose !

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Or snort Whizz Fizz and then you will ahve a frizz nose

6:42 am

frantique

LOL whats whizz fizz?

Back for a min and off topic. I found a TV. It works fine. Had a sign on it saying "free, take it away". SO here it is. But the universal remote I bought needs to be programmed. I have the code lists. However, the TV says it is an RM 2000, which the guide and online sources say is a sattelite dish. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? I just need the code to tune the remote to the machine.

7:19 am

Haz1558

Hello carlee - I'll be back later once lunch is done and errands run.

7:19 am

montreal13

carlee is preparing a sleepover celebrating "Anne of Green Gables" at her place herin...

7:19 am

montreal13

later hazel - take care !

7:19 am

Merk

googled it and got it with Haz's clue. ty

7:20 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, Merk - bye!

carleekat

( at the church around the corner actually )

7:20 am

carleekat

ok...people..suggestions for making black current punch... I have rybena

7:21 am

montreal13

had to program a number of TVs MG...but none that gave me "satellite dish" source...sorry...

7:21 am

carleekat

limeaid?..lemonaid? pineapple juice?...what flavour do you think would go best?

7:22 am

herinfernallady

brain aid would be good right now

7:22 am

montreal13

lemonade would be my choice kat...

7:22 am

montreal13

lol herin

7:22 am

MonkeyGames

Montreal, have now found TV in Dutch listings only but no sign of code key. Is there a way to get it to respond, is there a "universal" code, anything?

7:22 am

carleekat

i'd call the help desk for either of the products..when in doubt...be a blond and ask
]

7:23 am

montreal13

i think i might have mislaid you herin...carlee is organizing but it will be at her church - is that right kat ?

7:23 am

MonkeyGames

Even though it's a free TV I found on the street? I'll see if I can get the web to cough up a service number...

7:24 am

carleekat

how do they know... could be your dad's old tv for all you know...or an old roomate...

7:24 am

montreal13

don't believe MG that there is a "universal" code - i remember going through hundreds of codes and eventually returning the remote to the store to get a more expensive one that worked...

7:24 am

carleekat

( not my church..hahaha...its not important... its just the church where our guides meet every week )

7:25 am

MonkeyGames

Dang. OK, back at it I go...

really, Montreal? you liked it?

7:28 am

Angelsong

I like the stats page because it's automated a bit.

7:28 am

montreal13

it was fine Angel - did you get negative comments from elsewhere ??

7:29 am

herinfernallady

ANgel my dear where do i find the stats that you have done please

7:29 am

Angelsong

no, I've had no negative comments. It's just I've never done a spread sheet like this before.

7:30 am

Angelsong

herin, go to the main page of the babble online resource guide...under Babble links...Angelsong's Stats

7:30 am

montreal13

7:31 am

Angelsong

I just used Google Spreadsheets. If I enter numbers, then select the data, it gives me a total automatically, and it is set to republish each time I edit the page.

7:32 am

herinfernallady

I can't find it angel can you please URL it

7:32 am

Angelsong

best part is, it cost NOTHING.

7:32 am

How about "Lurkers Anonymous?"

10:50 am

Haz1558

Magesse. Look at Help above the chatline for the rules. Basically you have to find the words within the grid to the left. At least four letters long, touching, any direction.

10:55 am

Uniquity

Magesse - above this chat box, click on the "help" icon. Also, below the grid in friends of babble box, see "angelsongs babble page". Double also, Don't Panic and always keep your towel with you.

Two eyes, a nose and a mouth are about as similar as they get.....

I only have a minute, because Renee Zellwegger has made a nuisance of herself, since she's learned of my Haz secret.

11:28 am

caitlyn

LOL!!

11:29 am

Haz1558

Never trust a woman who can lose weight like that.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

Haz1558

George, Renee has always been insecure. I feel sorry for her.

11:30 am

MLFAN17

I GOT IT

11:30 am

G.Clooney

She's a nice girl. Just a bit stalker-ish, her and some lady from New York state as well.

11:30 am

caitlyn

Not from Ireland though I hope George

11:30 am

Haz1558

Well, we all know the one from New York state. She drives about with skis and canoes on top of the car.

11:31 am

MLFAN17

i love renee zellweger but i still dont know what she was thinking when she married that country singer and then later they were divorced

11:32 am

Haz1558

But George, you're so good at coping with all those delusional women.

11:32 am

G.Clooney

There you go, wax is for more than just skis. It's a burden to be sure, but I have broad shoulders.

11:33 am

Uniquity

Oh and those shoulders are soooo dreamy!

11:33 am

caitlyn

HI Uni LOL!

11:33 am

Haz1558

Broad shoulders and a big heart. I'm not surprised the others want you as well.

11:34 am

BabbleRabble

wax .. shoulders ... george has hair on his shoulders

11:34 am

Haz1558

I'm just so glad that you found safe haven in the understair cupboard. Who'd have thought it?

11:34 am

Uniquity

Oh yeah, I used to be lurking. I can't convince myself to work on this grid! Have been reading webcomics instead.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

then he will need the wax, won't he?

11:34 am

caitlyn

Hi BabRab

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

grrr 60 left and not a clue

11:35 am

Haz1558

What's wrong with hairy shoulders? Not that I want them myself, you understand.....

11:35 am

Uniquity

Trade you TO, I've only got 61..

11:35 am

MLFAN17

what do you mean not a clue owl have you put the words in lickety?

11:36 am

G.Clooney

Hazel's cupboard has been, like Hazel herself, a respite from the artificial Hollywood world I've been thrust in to.

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

mf, cannot get lickety

11:36 am

MLFAN17

Uni you found 61?

11:36 am

MLFAN17

11:42 am

caitlyn

11:43 am

flosey

11:43 am

montreal13

caitlyn

I hope there is enough for babbleland flosey!!

11:46 am

flosey

wow Luc, you do keep quite a record, I check in at the ratings once in a while, don't know which one you're referring to

11:47 am

flosey

if it works, I'll make more Caitlyn, how's that

11:47 am

caitlyn

Great idea

11:47 am

montreal13

1st column of rankings flosey - "Cream of the crop"

11:48 am

flosey

ah, I'm so far down in that one, never thought to keep track of numbers there, must try

11:49 am

flosey

almost always complete babble, but will be in Toronto for 3 weeks next month - may miss a few

11:49 am

montreal13

well, for the other 2 columns, Village elders is straight forward - and Who's hot is almost impossible to maintain at 1030 unless you do EVERY grid...

11:50 am

Scarlet

{{Lucien}} I am laughing so hard now... we have the same book cover!

11:50 am

flosey

have been on top of that one but it fluctuates

11:50 am

caitlyn

Im guilty of that at the moment monty!!

11:50 am

flosey

is the top one the first to finish the grid of that day?

11:50 am

montreal13

(((SCARLET))) - amazing isn't it ??

11:51 am

Scarlet

Yes!!

11:51 am

Scarlet

But not surprising!

11:51 am

Scarlet

Flosey, are you going to visit your sons again?

11:51 am

montreal13

lol caitlyn !! - no flosey - it's closer to how you perform (percentage wise) over time...

11:52 am

flosey

interesting

11:52 am

flosey

will start watching it closer

11:53 am

montreal13

t'was a GREAT book O Red One !

11:53 am

flosey

now must try to find my last 23 words - have errands to run and summer clothes to drag out and get ready for TO

11:54 am

Scarlet

For me, Oh Northern Great One... it was the pivotal time of my life! Later flosey! Be well!

11:54 am

montreal13

that much effect scarlet ?

11:55 am

Scarlet

Yes, Luc... some things just stormed into my heart and soul, and should be, by all accounts, paying me rent! :-)

11:56 am

montreal13

ahhh - you write I see in your profile... seriously or more keeping a journal like ?

11:56 am

Scarlet

I was a newspaper editor and features, political and sports' writer for many, many moons, Luc!

11:57 am

caitlyn

Scarlet you must ahve had a very interesting career

11:57 am

montreal13

well, i'll be darned !! - never knew that ! - i understand the culture now...:-)

11:57 am

Scarlet

I did, Cait... and now, it is time to continue with the imperative...

11:58 am

Scarlet

What culture, Lucien? I am a little lost now :9

11:58 am

Scarlet

Cait, my passions are politics and sports... so, they are not so different after all...

11:59 am

montreal13

well you don't exactly appear to be a wallpaper dear one !

11:59 am

Scarlet

LOL... Luc... you always tickle me no end!!

11:59 am

caitlyn

Both the things Im not very good at Scarlet LOL

12:00 pm

montreal13

not very strong in sports either Cait...

12:00 pm

BabbleRabble

The practice of politics in the United States is a lie wrapped in hypocrisy inside a half-truth.

12:00 pm

caitlyn

Have you all been reading about that dreadful man in Austria?

12:01 pm

montreal13

Sport trivia question: Who was the 1st man to run the mi** in less than 4 minutes ? (no cheating allowed)

12:01 pm

Scarlet

Cait... I would have, in the long past, have truly enjoyed doing feature stories on so many Babblers... everyone, no matter whom, has a story and I have been humbled, brought to tears, learned and forged on through disasters... so, I learn from every person here. Hello, BabbleRabble-rouser!

12:01 pm

LoriP

***tiptoes in to hug Scarlet, greet Babblers, and consider lurking***

12:01 pm

caitlyn

Its no different in the UK Bab

12:01 pm

BabbleRabble

roger bannister

12:01 pm

montreal13

yay BR !!!!!

12:01 pm

Scarlet

Lori Darlin'! Thank you for the hug! Much needed today!

12:01 pm

caitlyn

Thats a lovely thing to say Scarlet

12:02 pm

montreal13

run to hug ((scarlet)) !

12:02 pm

BzznBea

Caitlyn, what I want to know is how his wife did not know all this was going on. Give me a break!

12:02 pm

flosey

in that case Scarlet, allow me {{{scarlet}}}

12:02 pm

caitlyn

Bab are you talking about Dr Roger Bannister Bab?

12:03 pm

caitlyn

It doesnt make sense at all Bea

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Which is harder to believe. That the woman didn't know what was going on, or that she did know and went along with it?

12:03 pm

LoriP

Buncha' hug copycats! ***never can be enough hugs.... :-)***

12:03 pm

montreal13

it was my sports trivia question Cait...

12:03 pm

Scarlet

Awwww... thank you so much, flosey. {{Hugs to Lori and flosey, too}} Hello, Haz! I have missed you all so much!

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet!

12:04 pm

caitlyn

He used to live around the corner from me in London monty

12:04 pm

montreal13

well hazel, i would find it UNBELIEVABLE that she did not know !!!!!!

12:04 pm

BzznBea

Haz, it's all hard to believe.

12:04 pm

montreal13

did you meet him Cait ?

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Oh, I absolutely agree. Whether she knew or not, the whole situation is ghastly.

12:05 pm

BzznBea

Who lived around the corner form you Cait?

12:05 pm

BabbleRabble

1954: Bannister breaks four-minute mile. Roger Bannister, a 25-year-old British medical student, has become the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes.

12:05 pm

Scarlet

Please clue in the floundering American on this story?

12:05 pm

caitlyn

That poor girl must have had a life of sheer hell

12:05 pm

LoriP

Are y'all talking about the freak that locked up his daughter? ***too lazy to scrolll back***

12:05 pm

caitlyn

Bea Roger Bannister

12:05 pm

BzznBea

Whoa!

12:05 pm

BzznBea

Creepy.

12:05 pm

caitlyn

Yes Lori

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Scarlet, Austrian police have discovered that a 74 year old man has imprisoned his daughter for 24 years. She bore him seven children.

12:06 pm

Scarlet

ACK!

12:06 pm

LoriP

No way that family was THAT ignorant to what was happening. They allowed themselves the be ininvolved.

12:06 pm

montreal13

imprisonment started when she was 18...

12:06 pm

Haz1558

She and three of the children were kept in an underground basement of their home. Three of the children were raised by him and his wife. They adopted them - they were 'left' on their doorstep, supposedly with a note from the daughter saying she couldn't cope.

12:06 pm

Scarlet

That is disgusting, horrible and mind-blowing.

12:07 pm

flosey

whew, it sure is scarlet

12:07 pm

bichon

What I found really disgusting that the penalty in Austria for this is 15 years imprisonment!

12:07 pm

LoriP

Some of those chidlren never saw the light of day for their entire lives.

12:07 pm

Haz1558

It truly is. One 18 year old boy emerged along with a five year old. They had never seen daylight.

12:07 pm

caitlyn

They think the younger children ,who have never seen daylight may recover

12:07 pm

Scarlet

The daughter and those children will never know normalcy.

12:08 pm

montreal13

horrifying story... am sure it happened in the past but now the whole world knows...including youths...not very good images to put in their minds...

12:08 pm

flosey

don't know that I could have left this to the court to decide punishment!

12:08 pm

Scarlet

bichon... that is equally disgusting.

12:08 pm

bichon

I can't imagine such a lenient punishment elsewhere.

12:08 pm

Haz1558

I just can't fathom how that man could continue in such wickedness for so long.

12:08 pm

Scarlet

How were they dis- or UN- covered, Haz?

12:08 pm

LoriP

No, they won't Scarlet. I'd prob'ally start in International Bable incident, but I can never be convinced, that he pulled that off, without arousing the wif/Mother's suspicions. Never. She had to be suspicious of somthing

12:09 pm

Scarlet

There has to be a special place in Hell for those who commit such deeds.

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Scarlet, one of the children kept underground became seriously ill and had to be taken to hospital.

12:09 pm

Scarlet

Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps?

12:09 pm

LoriP

One of the older ones got sick, and needed medical care

12:09 pm

caitlyn

I agree Scarlet

12:09 pm

bichon

who delivered the babies, him?

12:09 pm

montreal13

almost hoping there is a hell at all...for such persons

12:10 pm

caitlyn

Yes

12:10 pm

flosey

you'd think hospital staff might have obtained information from that child

12:10 pm

Scarlet

Oh, Haz... I am thoroughly flummoxed by this story.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

The police must have become involved and the father led them to the basement. He had it locked with access only by password.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

The father delivered the babies when they arrived.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

One of a set of twins died at birth. He incinerated the body in the house boiler.

12:10 pm

caitlyn

One of the babies was a twin that died so he threw it into a furnace

12:11 pm

montreal13

he was a newspaper editor wasn't he ??

12:11 pm

LoriP

He can rot, and he makes me pine for an afterlife, which he can rot in again and again.....

12:11 pm

Haz1558

Am I right in supposing that this isn't being covered much in US news?

12:11 pm

bichon

they said that the dead twin died of neglect. I wonder what the father provided for these children and how did he get all these things in the house without the wife knowing?

12:11 pm

kje

It's been in the papers Haz

12:11 pm

LoriP

It's making press here Haz.

12:11 pm

Scarlet

I have been out of the loop for other than political and weather stories, Haz.

12:11 pm

bichon

No, it's big news here

12:12 pm

montreal13

it was on 1st page CNN web site yesterday...

12:12 pm

kje

yep, that's where I 1st saw it monte

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Okay, I was just wondering how much attention it had received.

12:12 pm

montreal13

unfortunately, worldwide attention hazel...

12:12 pm

caitlyn

I think the whole world feels sick about this story

12:13 pm

bichon

A lot, but don't forget, there's the Polygymous Sect news here too

12:13 pm

Scarlet

I have had virtually no computer time lately, so these horror stories have eluded me... this one will be a Hollywood production for certain... either the Coen brothers or Quentin Tarantino...

12:13 pm

Haz1558

Newspapers here are wondering - why Austria - this is the third such long-term imprisonment story to emerge in the past couple of years.

12:13 pm

bichon

It will be on "Law and Order" for sure

12:13 pm

montreal13

i see George as the le**...lol

12:13 pm

LoriP

Yes, the Texas polygamous sect is getting minute by minute coverage here, so otehr stories are being overshadowed.

12:14 pm

Scarlet

There is another gut-punch, Lori... and it goes on m ore than any of us realizes.

12:14 pm

montreal13

in Texas lori ? haven't heard that one...

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Do others feel slightly sick/guilty at the thought of this being served up as entertainment in the future?

12:14 pm

caitlyn

I saw that last week Lori but no news lately on it

12:14 pm

kje

wow, I'm surpised the txas story is getting that kind of coverage in NS lori

12:14 pm

flosey

absolutely Haz

12:14 pm

Scarlet

Of course, Haz... but it is as inevitable as the sunrise.

12:14 pm

caitlyn

Very much so Haz

12:14 pm

montreal13

of course hazel...but if there's a buck to be made..."sigh"

12:15 pm

bichon

It sell papers, so when there's a profit motive, it will be news

12:15 pm

Haz1558

I have to admit that when I watched the coverage of 9/11 - people saying 'It's just like a film' - I cringed - we have enjoyed violence as entertainment.

12:15 pm

LoriP

Here monty http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/04/
28/texas-polygamyranch.html

12:16 pm

Scarlet

I, too, heard that, Haz, and I WAS ill from it...

12:16 pm

LoriP

It's quite sickening Haz, but won't be the first time, nor the last that profit is made in Hollywood, from others real life suffering.

12:16 pm

Scarlet

Phone... be right back.

12:16 pm

montreal13

tx lori, will take a peek...

12:17 pm

montreal13

14 year old girls ??!! hard to fathom...

12:17 pm

Haz1558

I know - it just makes me sad. I didn't go to see the film based on the Flight where the passengers took over the plane.

12:18 pm

LoriP

There is no way they'll ever be able to enjoy a sense of normalcy, they'll always be seen as a side show, and I hate to be crass, but would there not be health issues on top of th pain, via the too close genetic relationship?

12:18 pm

LoriP

Unfortuantely, people are very desensitized. :(

12:18 pm

caitlyn

There must be a lot of genetic issues as you say Lori

12:19 pm

Haz1558

You would think so, Lori. It's a ghastly situation that isn't going to be cured just because it has been uncovered.

12:19 pm

montreal13

wouldn't be surprised lori... 463 children and 50 odd teenage girls - don't know how many men were involved though...

12:19 pm

Uniquity

What's even more sad is that any problems that have arisen genetically will be continued indefinitely if they have children.

12:19 pm

lexleeanne

Do ya'll think that this it is clear this is the FLDS (fundamentalist) not the regular LDS church - being a (regular) Mormon I wonder how it is affecting how people are making the association or if

12:20 pm

caitlyn

Didnt it get uncovered by someone escaping?

12:20 pm

montreal13

sad but true Uni...

12:20 pm

kje

Lex - I think it's been made pretty clear thta this is a fringe group

12:20 pm

bichon

No, it was an 911 call that was never really justified. They never found the girl who purportedly made it

12:21 pm

LoriP

caitlyn, the raid happened as a result of a call from a supposed 16 year old cult member that they can't find, so it may place the legal ground for the warrant in jeopardy, or not.

12:21 pm

pabtrek

fa5 please

12:21 pm

kje

"never jusitified"? hmmm - maybe not owned up to, but justified considering there has been stauatory rape

12:21 pm

montreal13

sorry, must go BBL - happy babbling all - "POOF"

12:22 pm

caitlyn

Bye monty take care

12:22 pm

lexleeanne

I had to explain to my classes that (because they asked) if they were doing this in our regular church - they would be excommunicated

12:22 pm

bichon

I think people understand that there's always sect offshoots that take astrange directions. I'm Jewish, but I hope people don't think of all Jews being like the fanatic Hassidim

12:22 pm

LoriP

lex, honestly, most people aren't going to differentiate, given that polygamy was only abandoned what, a little over a century ago by the LDS?

12:22 pm

lexleeanne

It is so sad that so many of those people are so lost and confused about normalcy - and genetics definately can play a part of the issue

12:23 pm

LoriP

fa + jazz grat L*** Horne

12:23 pm

bichon

I meant justified, as in finding the actual person making the call

12:23 pm

kje

disagree lori - mormon faith has become pretty common in the states - I don't think most people believe they still practice polygamy

12:23 pm

lexleeanne

abandoned in 1865 - I think

12:23 pm

pabtrek

thanks Lori

12:23 pm

bichon

And Ken Jennings earned a lot of good press for Mormons.

12:24 pm

caitlyn

There always will be sects that go under the name of religon but only are doing it for self gratification

12:24 pm

lexleeanne

My daughter was in a class last year where the spelling word was polygamy - and the teacher used this sentence for the example - "it is only legal to practice polygamy in Utah>

12:25 pm

Uniquity

Well, I don't live in the States and don't know any Mormons but was certainly under the impression polygamy was not only practised but promoted. I seem to recall a program on TLC with a Mormon gentleman with several wives a little while ago...doesn't mean it's true though, but the perception is certainly there.

12:25 pm

kje

Lots of horrible thing shave been done in the name of many different religious groups - hopefully people understand the difference between true believers in different paths vs extremists using it to their own benefit

12:25 pm

LoriP

kje, only my opinion. One need only look at a number of recent news, world wide events, that paints an entire group with a brush, based on the actions of a tiny percentage.

12:25 pm

caitlyn

911!!

12:26 pm

bichon

I don't know where somee teachers come up with these things. When my son was in grade school the kids had to write a story about Easter and my son wrote about Easter Island. The teacher said she'd never heard of Easter Island and that he was making it up!

12:26 pm

lexleeanne

Oh man - bichon

12:26 pm

kje

LOL bichon - No Way!!!

12:26 pm

LoriP

Not gonna' mention specific events,. because there'll be a fight. i'm just saying it's the nature of the beast.

12:26 pm

caitlyn

I have heard it all now bichon

12:27 pm

kje

yes, lori, there are extremists on all sides - those behaving in extreme fashions, and those interpretting all people different from themselves in extreme ways

if you want to know the Church's actual stand on polygamy you can look up LDS.org and look at frequently asked questions or mormon.org

12:29 pm

LoriP

In Canada, we have the equivalent in Bountiful BC, with Winstons Blackmore's cult. Government ahs avoided it like the plague, to date.

12:29 pm

MaMaWA

hi back Scarlet :)

12:30 pm

Scarlet

:-)

12:30 pm

LoriP

lex, myself, I'm quite aware of the differences. In general, people paint with a broad brush.

12:30 pm

lexleeanne

funny thing - is - I am trying to get my daughter to wear something "mosdest" to prom and she actually thought that I meant she should look like one of those texas women

12:31 pm

Scarlet

Freedom of expression, religious beliefs, press... and on and on... Even the American Nazi party is protected by law!

12:31 pm

kje

LOL lex - she was just being a typical teenager...knowing how to push your buttons!

12:31 pm

kje

"but mom, you don't want them to think I'm in some cult , do you?"

12:31 pm

LoriP

That's her job as a teen lex.... ;-)

12:31 pm

caitlyn

LOL lex, you should get her a dress like that and see what she says

12:31 pm

MaMaWA

12:32 pm

Uniquity

12:32 pm

lexleeanne

Oh - I know to misunderstand and think I am an extremist

12:33 pm

LoriP

12:34 pm

Scarlet

12:37 pm

LoriP

It was a grind, As, but fun. New words for me in this one. Later Haz!

12:37 pm

Scarlet

The rant being a unified opinion that Clive Owen is one of the most amazing actors in the world now, and it is kinda pretty, too. Later, Haz... girded and set to go! :-)

12:39 pm

Scarlet

An ugging Pug has pulled her plug...

2:50 pm

redturtlehead

2:51 pm

pugmama763

Scarlet

Clearly.... where are the next verses?

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

86?

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

2:51 pm

pugmama763

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

I was thinking of 86 as in the term to 86 something.

2:52 pm

stidmama

2:52 pm

Scarlet

Hi, stid.

2:52 pm

kje

roti

2:52 pm

Scarlet

A beastie with fangs and a vile sense of humor describes this grid, stid.

2:52 pm

kje

oops - wrong box

2:52 pm

pugmama763

STIDDY!!!

2:52 pm

redturtlehead

2:53 pm

stidmama

hm. so like the mother of teens, eh? I think I can best this one... LOL

2:58 pm

BabbleRabble

redT, that dog seems to asking how he got into that predicament.

2:59 pm

stidmama

hey BR!

2:59 pm

BabbleRabble

Hello, peoples

2:59 pm

pugmama763

hi babrab

2:59 pm

kje

hi BabRab

3:00 pm

BabbleRabble

Another innocuous grid to stroll through

3:01 pm

Scarlet

Hello, BR-r.

3:01 pm

kje

I don't think that is the sentiment in these here parts BR

3:03 pm

BabbleRabble

doesn't everyone think upon finding a word, "that wasn't so hard"?

3:03 pm

stidmama

yes, and then I spend twenty minutes on a fish, BR...

3:03 pm

Scarlet

No, BR-r... I think, "I am getting slower as I age rapidly, and this is accelerating the process."

3:04 pm

BabbleRabble

I must say, attitude adjustment is in order. This is fun. Make it so.

3:05 pm

Scarlet

It is. I am still aging rapidly.

3:05 pm

kje

BR is in his mean dad mode today : )

3:05 pm

stidmama

YAY ! I greyed the G tile!!!!

3:05 pm

kje

"no grumbling in there or you'll go to your rooms!"

3:06 pm

Scarlet

That's just fine with me, kje... I need a boot to the tailfeathers every once in awhile... LOL

3:06 pm

kje

ayay stid!

3:07 pm

BabbleRabble

Aging as a biological process does not prevent choices as a thought process.

3:08 pm

Scarlet

So right, as usual, BR-r. Choices saved my life.

3:08 pm

stidmama

okay, I give up. got to 82 words. see you-all tomorrow!

3:09 pm

Scarlet

'Bye, stid.

3:09 pm

BabbleRabble

Be well, stid

3:09 pm

pugmama763

leaving so soon stiddy?

3:09 pm

kje

awww stid - bye

3:12 pm

BabbleRabble

too many die, without ever learning to live

3:12 pm

Scarlet

And, in having lived, having learned to love and forgive.

3:13 pm

BabbleRabble

Yeah for you, Scarlet

3:13 pm

Scarlet

And to you, BR-r.

3:16 pm

BabbleRabble

As an editor, Scarlet, did your paper have a code of journalism ethics that included opinion articles by the editorial board?

3:18 pm

Scarlet

Yes, BR-r. We all had to study not only ethics, but journalistic law. The primary opinion-giver was the publisher, but many times, he allowed guest editorials. Our board, since it was a privately-owned paper, consisted of the entire editorial staff... read that, reporting staff.

3:19 pm

Scarlet

I learned to not be bullied by politicians and not allow being pushed into a corner for the "greater good of the community"... which translates as the "special interest" of the said bully.

3:21 pm

kje

is there something specific that you were thinking of BR?

3:22 pm

BabbleRabble

That is wonderful, Scarlet. I have been telling the local paper at best its editors are at best more puppy dogs than watch dogs and too often lap dogs. I also found them to be akin to political operatives acting as boosters or champions of their own agenda. Papers has so much influence in choosing what is fit to print.

3:23 pm

BabbleRabble

One editor now calls me his buddy, although I doubt I will ever get a Christmas card.

3:23 pm

kje

the buddy he most wants to shoot?

3:24 pm

BabbleRabble

Probably

3:24 pm

Scarlet

We find that condition wherever we travel, BR-r... one, in order to maintain one's integrity, must take a stand and offer sometimes unpalatable opinions to kick-start some awareness and/or action on the part of the readers, the politicians, the public at large, and maybe the periodical's staff who play it entirely too comfortably... one must have some guts to say: "The emperor has no clothes!"

3:25 pm

ursh

Please clue the first sp6/24

3:25 pm

ursh

Please clue the first sp6/24

3:25 pm

BabbleRabble

I have been writing letters to the editor with the theme of "who will watch the watchdog"

3:25 pm

kje

sp 6/24 - round, like an orb

3:26 pm

ursh

duh - tx kje

3:26 pm

kje

yw

3:26 pm

Scarlet

Please don't stop that, BR-r... one voice in the wilderness is better than the alliance of silence or shoulder-shrugging that has become the median behavior. One voice can and often does make a differnce... you just can't allow the slanted opinions of those "in charge" to call the shots.

3:27 pm

kje

in keeping scarlet's theme music going...now starting to softly play the battle hymn of th republic

3:28 pm

Scarlet

I love the Russian Naval Hymn...

3:29 pm

kje

not sure I know that one *flipping through sheet music*

3:29 pm

Scarlet

Just watch Hunt for Red October and it will give you gooseflesh, kje~

3:29 pm

kje

does this mean we can stop Taps - Rs completed?

3:29 pm

Scarlet

Three more taunt me, kje!

3:31 pm

BabbleRabble

Does the Russian Naval Hymn have lyrics too?

3:31 pm

kje

will ggole

3:32 pm

Scarlet

It must, BR-r... I have only heard the choral underpinnings of sound relating to the music... so beautiful. I bet I will end up Googling that after I finish!

3:32 pm

kje

apparently yes, but in russian - LOL

3:32 pm

BabbleRabble

I found an MP3

3:33 pm

BabbleRabble

says the hymn was written for the movie

3:33 pm

kje

my typing in english is bad - but my typing in russian would be worse

3:33 pm

kje

that's what I saw also BR

3:33 pm

Scarlet

It was so beautiful... I have watched that movie, probably, a dozen times and every time I hear that music, I get chills.

3:35 pm

Scarlet

LOL, kje...

3:35 pm

BabbleRabble

Unbreakable union of free republics,
Great Russia has joined forever!
Long live the created by the will of peoples
United and mighty Soviet Union

CHORUS:
To Glory, our free Fatherland
The stronghold of the friendship of peoples
Party of Lenin is the power of the people
It leads us to the triumph of Communism

2.

Through storms the sun of freedom shone to us
And the great Lenin lighted us the way
He raised peoples to the right cause
He inspired us for labour and for acts of heroism

CHORUS

3.

In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism
We see the future of our country,
And to the Red banner of our glorious Fatherland
We shall always be selflessly loyal

CHORUS

3:35 pm

BabbleRabble

Not exactly memorable.

3:36 pm

Scarlet

While I have major disagreements with the political philosophy, I still love the music... the lyrics are truly outdated.

3:36 pm

kje

not a lot of great communist political music out there I imagine

3:36 pm

BabbleRabble

Music is apolitical.

3:37 pm

kje

music yes, lyrics no

3:37 pm

Scarlet

LOL... I just can't put those words to such a magnificent sound... LOL

3:37 pm

kje

hope that didn't ruin the music for you scarlet

3:37 pm

6:41 pm

kje

I'm at the shameless plugging part

6:42 pm

kje

hmmm - I don't think benny hill music could have made that kid funny - but might have made him scarier : )

6:42 pm

evanonut

that's not shameless! that's the whole point of the show...promoting this site.

6:42 pm

evanonut

true kje, that's why i didn't benny hill him, but i thought i needed to stick him in

6:42 pm

kje

no - I'm talking about promoting babblecast - LOL

6:43 pm

kje

whoa - glad you did, though it makes me depressed

6:43 pm

evanonut

logic time kje...if you don't promote babblecast, then other people won't listen, then its not promoting this site

6:43 pm

shoelessdwarf

6:47 pm

kje

I thought it could only be blue or ppink - how did you manage that

6:47 pm

evanonut

ok, good girl...but make sure you download instead of stream...it's downloads that you have to have to get ads

6:47 pm

kje

oooooohhhh

6:47 pm

kje

you should say that on the site

6:48 pm

evanonut

yeah...well, i don't think podango would take too kindly to that

6:48 pm

evanonut

besides, if everyone would just subscribe in something like itunes, then i wouldn't have to announce everytime a new show went up

6:49 pm

kje

just say something like... for best sound quality, download...

6:49 pm

evanonut

and when are you going to submit a short story kje?

6:49 pm

kje

OH, I'll do that, I'll add it to my podcasts in iTunes

6:49 pm

evanonut

what, me lie? when have i ever twisted the truth?

6:49 pm

kje

not a LIE

6:50 pm

evanonut

yay! and write a review too!

6:50 pm

evanonut

you sure? i think it might be.

6:51 pm

kje

I think it sounds better when not streamed - then if there is a blip in the server, you don't get interrupted : )

6:52 pm

evanonut

ok...i concede the point

6:53 pm

evanonut

i wonder how i update the feed on itunes?

JBV

I hear her having difficulty in the low range

7:16 pm

hurshy

lot of them have troubles with the low notes

7:17 pm

hurshy

i dunno what it is this season with the low notes

7:18 pm

hurshy

i can't believe harrison ford did another indy movie. i mean i'm thrilled on the one hand. but on the other hand, i'm wondering if he had to spend hours in a hot tub every day after filming

7:18 pm

JBV

they have to start that low so the high notes are where they can actually reach them, it's hard to sound great at both ends

7:18 pm

hurshy

jordin and melinda sounded good at both ends, as i recall

7:18 pm

Aussieme

wondering the same thing hursh ! I LOVE the INdy Movies !

7:18 pm

JBV

so part of the talent is knowing your own voice strengths and picking the right song in the right key

7:19 pm

JBV

and of course having a great voice like jordin, melinda and so many others

7:19 pm

hurshy

i'm not sure why they keep saying that this year has so much more talent than ever before. i mean, melinda - that gal could do anything

7:19 pm

lately i have been reading that raw meat diets are the best, but they are complicated and expensive.

7:44 pm

pam

science diet c/d--here in the states, herin

7:45 pm

evanonut

is cystitis the crystal thingy? my boys eat c/d for that

7:45 pm

pam

I fed evo, which was grain free and human grade, to my dog because I didn't want to deal with raw...

7:45 pm

pam

hi, nut

7:45 pm

hurshy

but, i read stories where people's vets had told them to just put the cat down, and then the owner switched them to raw meat diet and they lived for years and got lots better.

7:46 pm

rururocks

hee haw.. don't get the donkey basket clue..

7:46 pm

pam

due to her cystitis and crystals, the cat has eaten c/d for over 4 years and is doing great

7:46 pm

evanonut

hi pam

7:46 pm

hurshy

i just started mine on a brand called "life's abundance" which i read is next best for cats if you aren't doing raw - has more protein and fewer carbs, and higher quality ingredients. no decaying meat, for instance...

7:47 pm

Jacula

Herin - your cat needs to see a vet first to be sure of the cause. Then you can add 250mg of vitamin c per day to canned cat food. Himalayan Salt is another thing you can use.

7:47 pm

pam

not a pot but a p** + me myself and * + **, a hospital drama on NBC, ruru

7:47 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Nuttie. Yes she peed outside her box and i will watch her and stuff but i just wanted to find out what wet food would be good for her.

7:47 pm

pam

I wish I had known that before the crystals took over, jac... now she needs the special food....

7:48 pm

k21eyes

has the cat been checked for bloakages/stones?

7:48 pm

Cystitis can also be caused by stress. Stress may be a result of a change in environment e.g. moving house, a new addition to the home e.g. anything from furniture to a new pet, visitors, a change in diet or even the weather.

Cat's are very fussy about their litter tray and also doin't like sharing it. Ideally, they should have one each which is cleared of solid matter daily (or more) and thoroughly changed and washed out every 3-4 days.

7:53 pm

periwinkle

one cat, one litter box

Herbal remedies include Dandelion, Parsley, Bearberry and Watercress (taken as infusions).

To prepare an infusion:

Add 1tsp of the dried herb, to one cup of boiling water. Leave to stand 20 minutes then strain. Give 2 tsps twice daily with food for a week (when the cat has an acute infection). Make a new infusion every 2 days.

Chinese Medicine: 1 tsp of hops diced finely and added daily to the cat’s food.

Homeopathy: Cantharis (acute dosage) for acute painful cystitis. Causticum, Equistetum and Thlaspi Bursa (chronic dosage) for persistent cystitis.

I don't mean to sound gross but my cats dirt box is so clean that you could eat out of it

7:54 pm

Jacula

Most cats eventually die from re5/10 failure, brought about by the fake diet we give them of tinned and dried foods. Dried are the worst culprits for this.

7:54 pm

7:54 pm

periwinkle

of uh, i feed my cat canned and dry food

If your litter tray (or any pet place, or even your own loo) gets stained with hard pee crystalline deposit, you can use citric acid (or boiled lemons) to remove it.
