2:36 am

2:37 am

shdybr8

2:38 am

sprite

Am very sorry you are having it tough, shdy. Will think of you and send good vibes your way!

2:57 am

Douglas

I read a long time ago that the Vikings worshipped savage gods named Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

2:57 am

shdybr8

i've always been lively, and any parent calls their kids beautiful!

2:57 am

sprite

close enough, Doug

2:57 am

Douglas

I suppose that's why Monday doesn't count as a word...

2:58 am

pinkhatlil

((jellen)) how are things?

2:58 am

shdybr8

monday is lunday, doug

2:58 am

sprite

nah, it is because you silly english speaking people want it capitalised.

2:59 am

Jellen

Things are great, pink! Waiting for Tim to get home from work.

2:59 am

sprite

this grid is one H short of a king.

2:59 am

shdybr8

sheesh, sprite, sorry for lingual incapacities!!!!!!!

2:59 am

Douglas

The book I read it in was 1066 And All That, which totally warped my 8-year-old mind at the time...

2:59 am

shdybr8

hi jellen!

2:59 am

sprite

*giggles*
In Dutch, maandag would be valid.

3:00 am

Jellen

Hi shdy!

3:00 am

shdybr8

que es maandag?

3:00 am

shdybr8

good to see you jellen

3:00 am

sprite

maandag = Monday (in dutch)

3:01 am

shdybr8

duh, (shdy is stoopid american)!

3:01 am

Douglas

you can tell what I'm thinking about when I say I see a phantom yoni...

3:01 am

sprite

we cannot all be dutch, shdy, lol

3:02 am

sprite

what's on a man's mind... oh yes, of course ;)

3:02 am

shdybr8

my heritage is more welsh than dutch

3:02 am

sprite

ah, now THERE is a language. Welsh. Woot.

3:03 am

shdybr8

yes, woot! unfortunately i was born to a texan dad in saudi arabia, so any kind of genealogical knowledge was lost on me!

3:04 am

sprite

I have this phantom ending today, -ion. It is driving me nuts. I even saw psion. And minion. To name a few.

3:04 am

Douglas

Simon is in the grid...could be the apostle, the sorcerer, or the American Idol judge...

3:04 am

sprite

but you got other knowledge instead, no doubt, shdy!

3:04 am

shdybr8

jeez, sprite, now i see question, and there isn't even a t!

3:05 am

sprite

Simon says... all enter words!

3:05 am

sprite

ah, if I could only have a T to go with that F, I would be on a roll!

3:06 am

shdybr8

yes, the muslim call to prayer is a part of my childhood...Allah -u -akbar

3:07 am

sprite

that is special too

3:08 am

shdybr8

saw something on the history channel today about mosques in Cairo, heard the call to prayer, and went right back to my childhood, where that was heard numerous (5) times every day

3:09 am

sprite

BabbleRabble, thanks for the mo7! Finally got it.

3:10 am

sprite

it always amazes me how sounds and smells can awaken memories just like that. Was it nice to go back to, your childhood, shdy? Good memories?

3:10 am

shdybr8

yes, sprite, it was like being 5 again, so innocent and comfortable!

3:11 am

sprite

lovely!

3:11 am

shdybr8

yes!

3:12 am

sprite

oh, btw, I LOVE your icon, shdy. LOL!

3:12 am

shdybr8

oh, i love maxine, love her, love her!

3:15 am

sprite

am wondering if I should wake hubby... he is sleeping in the living room, which means it was either too hot upstairs for him, or he couldn't sleep for other reasons... but it is 10.15 am and my kids are hungry.

3:15 am

shdybr8

occasionally I run into other Babblers with Maxine, usually lbd or Scarlet, and life takes on a certain purpose, lol!

3:16 am

sprite

hehehe, yes, I can understand that!

3:16 am

shdybr8

wake the hubby, so he can feed the kids!

3:17 am

sprite

hubby broke down yesterday, seems to be overstressed and depressed. He cried all day long, without really knowing why. Hence (another phantom) the doubt.

3:17 am

shdybr8

understand that, completely

3:18 am

shdybr8

i live in depression, for no reason, just depressed

3:18 am

sprite

perhaps I can slip in quietly and get some easy breakfast stuff upstairs. I can be very quiet if need be.

3:19 am

Douglas

Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd is in the grid, in a disjointed, disconnected sort of way...

3:19 am

shdybr8

wow, seeing what loved ones have to deal with

3:20 am

sprite

(((((shdy))))
are you wrestling with it on your own? I hope your doctor is helping you, and perhaps medication for a while?

3:21 am

shdybr8

no meds yet, just lots of complete inability to function ....but i think i'm getting better, note how long i've been away?

3:22 am

sprite

lol... reminds me of The Wall. As a dutch kid, I always heard: "another break in the wall" and I couldn't grasp the meaning at all.

3:22 am

shdybr8

i'll pull through somehow

3:22 am

sprite

oh yes, I noticed, shdy, and it is definitely a great sign you are back here now. Still, depression is a b*tch. Is your doctor helping you?

3:23 am

shdybr8

what doctor?

3:24 am

sprite

you will, no doubt, shdy. I have gone through severe depression for a couple of years, and am now slowly coming out of it. With the help of our family doctor, a therapist and medication, and my inborn sheer stubbornness and refusal to ever give up, lol.

3:24 am

shdybr8

sprite, i live in the us, i can't afford a doctor!

3:25 am

sprite

jeez, I am not making myself clear, at all. What I want to say is: doing it all by yourself is way too difficult. Please allow yourself to accept some help to pull you through the worst parts, so you will have some specks of energy left when you really need them.

3:26 am

Douglas

There seems to be some vigorous debate as to whether SSRI's work at all...

3:26 am

sprite

darn, your social security really sucks, doesn't it?

3:26 am

shdybr8

i'll try, sprite, i will

3:27 am

sprite

I can vouch for their working. Problem is to find the right one for each person.

3:27 am

sprite

warm wind alert

3:27 am

shdybr8

i make just enough to live on, so don't qualify for any help. Plus raised not to ask for that kind of help

3:29 am

shdybr8

but this is a happy space, so let's stop griping!

3:29 am

Douglas

Sending happy thoughts in your general directions, sprite and shdybr8...

3:30 am

shdybr8

ty, doug

3:31 am

sprite

both make it very very hard to get help, shdy. And I am not pretending to know what would be best for you. Just want to say: been there, done that, still doing it... and it is hell to do it on your own. I hope you have friends supporting you... perhaps one of them can look into ways for you to get some help, if you cannot find the energy to do so? Anyway, *hugs* from me.

3:31 am

sprite

aw Doug, thanks. Much appreciated.

3:33 am

shdybr8

thanks, sprite, my only friend is my no-longer boyfriend. That's why I'm online talking to strangers. Thank you so much for caring

3:34 am

Marmar

Hi all. So far I've found a brand of yougurt, a famous movie actor and about 63 almost words, none of which count as words....thinking of scraping this grid and going to my husbands folk music concert.

3:34 am

sprite

for what it is worth, I am here for you, shdy, and not just me in the babble chat. If you want to, at any time, please feel free to use my email addy in my profile (leave out all spaces). I can listen :)

3:36 am

sprite

lol Marmar, poor you. I'd go to the concert. Grid will be here when you return, if you would feel like it then ;)

3:38 am

Marmar

Shdybr8, what time is it for you?

3:39 am

shdybr8

sprite, thank you so much, just for caring

3:39 am

sprite

I am going downstairs, hubby is awake now. Back later. Shdy, loved chatting with you. Take care of you.
Bye all, will be back later!

3:39 am

shdybr8

Yvo

Good Morning Babble Room ,good morning mar

3:40 am

shdybr8

3:41 am

Marmar

Yiyiyiyi, that's early...or late....I read back a little in the chat. I will keep you in my prayers if that's OK with you.

3:41 am

Marmar

Hi Maria!

3:41 am

3:42 am

3:43 am

shdybr8

marmar, where are you from?

3:43 am

Marmar

My please Shdybr8. What does you online name mean?

3:43 am

Yvo

im up early,just cant sleep,hope you all had a good Mothersday ,

3:43 am

Marmar

I'm from Texas, (like you dad) but have been in Germany for 11 years and will stay here. Married a German.

3:44 am

shdybr8

my dogs, marmar, shady and bear, the 8 is just a number

3:44 am

Marmar

Great! We ahve a mini schnautzer, Monty, he lights up our lives.

3:45 am

Yvo

we had a miniture schnauzer but lost him a few years back

3:45 am

shdybr8

i love my dogs, and have a third, got him after i made the name

3:45 am

Marmar

Maria, mother's day was nice, very quiet. Great church service, lazy afternoon and the beautiful weather didn't hurt at all. I hope the weather is like this when you get here....it's been perfect.

3:46 am

Yvo

thats what im wrestling with ,what to pack

3:46 am

Marmar

Arent they great Yvo? Ours is so funny, a little stuborn but very loveable.

3:47 am

Yvo

you might know we have a tendency to pack all but the kitchen sink

3:47 am

Marmar

Shdy, what's the third's name?

3:48 am

shdybr8

Baby is Nico, although he's the biggest, 86 pounds

3:48 am

Marmar

I know that characteristic, my husband does that too. Just remember you have to lug it everywhere you go over here, should motivate you to pack light. And if you need something you didn't bring, you can pick it up here...or?

3:48 am

Marmar

Good Lord, what kind of a canine is that?

3:48 am

shdybr8

the mutt kind

3:49 am

shdybr8

all of my dogs are mutts, and rescued from Hell

3:49 am

Yvo

absolutly right ,but who listens????

3:50 am

Marmar

Cute I bet. How nice for you. I would love another small dog to play with Monty but our living space is pretty cramped. How great that you recused them. my brother and his wife have 5 I think, also all rescued.

3:51 am

Marmar

Steffen is the clothes horse, I'm perfectly fine in most situations with a comfy white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans...I would have done well in the 50's!

3:52 am

shdybr8

3:53 am

Yvo

shdybr8 my best wishes for you i know only to well ,how one feels to be losing someone ,

3:53 am

shdybr8

3:55 am

sprite

3:55 am

Marmar

Hi Sprite, I'm still here, got to chatting with the girls here, very good company. Folksmusik will have to wait.

3:56 am

shdybr8

3:56 am

Marmar

Yvo

3:58 am

Wife goes mad again: "WHy are you starting the whole fight again!"
"I am not,"he says. "I really wish we had the piano with us now. THe train tickets are on top of it."

3:58 am

Yvo

4:08 am

4:19 am

lynxxx

4:20 am

kls

thanks sprite,i joined over a year ago, and disappeared for a very very long time, came back and got my first completed last week - fingers are crossed for today!

4:21 am

Marmar

Dank U

4:21 am

sprite

Tweede = second. Pinksterdag = day of Pentecost. I think you call this day Whitmonday

4:21 am

noctua

I just checked the meaning of my last word. If I go on playing this game I will end up with a very interesting vocabulary. In this way I can tell myself that I'm not wasting my time but actually studying.

4:22 am

sprite

glad to have you back, kls!

4:22 am

sprite

noctua, that is how I justify my playing too, lol. I know SO many useless but very interesting words now :)

4:22 am

lynxxx

Sounds right Sprite...I was having visions of a parade of ladies in special pink tweed suits

4:23 am

sprite

now that would be an interesting sight, lyn

4:25 am

noctua

Yes sprite. I will be trying to figure out how to get some of those weird words slipped into casual conversation next time I need to speak English (I am Danish).

4:26 am

sprite

a worthwhile goal, noctua :)
Ywis, my inia loves to steal my etui...

4:27 am

noctua

Keep it coming sprite :)

4:28 am

sprite

had to jump a few hahas to catch my anoa though. It was that my nene told me where to find it...

4:28 am

sprite

it was hiding behind the na4!

4:31 am

lynxxx

BBL just having a bite to eat

4:32 am

sprite

bye for now, lyn

4:36 am

noctua

I'm not quite sure what you are saying sprite. But it sure livens up the conversation. I can see I have to do some checking with a dictionary. :)

4:38 am

sprite

all babblets, noctua, lol. inia = hairy-nosed dolphin. Etui (or etwee) is a needle case. Ywis = for sure.
haha = a low fence, to mark the boundary between lands. anoa = ox. nene = hawaiian goose.
The na4/4, singular and plural, are greek little temples.

4:50 am

noctua

I see I have a log ways to go. So I'll just have to bable some more. Though unfortunately I have to do some boring stuff like tidying up and cleaning. But I will probably keep coming back to the game. Its really addictive.

4:50 am

sprite

I agree. Housework will suffer... but we will love to see you back :)

4:53 am

noctua

And I'll love to be back. It's very nice that it is not just a game but also an opportunity to meet with some people. I have aspergers syndrom which means I'm not all that comfortable with other people. And it took me some time to dare to write in the chat. But I find myself suddenly chatting away which is quite an achivement for me. So thanks for being so nice.

4:54 am

hurshy

would fo5+y be a fake fo5?

4:54 am

sprite

it is great you are chatting and I love meeting you. If mrP comes back on when you are: her son has the same syndrom. He plays too sometimes, a wonderful kid.

4:54 am

sprite

lol hursh, yes, it would.

4:58 am

ardilla

hi nono

4:58 am

NonoNanette

the grid is small but looks challenging

4:58 am

sprite

I think mrP will love to chat with you too. You both know the difficulties and the beauty of aspergers!

4:59 am

sprite

it is, Nanette, to me anyway. I still have 12 left and am struggling.

4:59 am

NonoNanette

am at the other end sprite with only 13 words found and struggling

5:01 am

sprite

lots of words that are not common, for me anyway.

5:08 am

sprite

fireworks. And kje: a lovely vid! How smart, all those palindromes!

5:09 am

hurshy

sprite would you tell me what the 7's start with?

5:10 am

sprite

an, mo.
And the 8 is a compound.

5:10 am

hurshy

yes, i found the 8 myself

5:11 am

NonoNanette

wtg sprite!!

5:11 am

hurshy

got the an

5:12 am

Must be off now, *hugs* and have a lovely day and/or night all of you.

6:23 am

JBV

8:52 am

Vicuna

Sorry I'm so out of it with the chat, friends. My darlings have decided they want to sew quilts. As a quilter myself I naturally wish to encourage them and get them started on the right path. But it's a VERY high-maintenance activity.

8:53 am

FMitch

Perfect entry Uni

8:53 am

jaja123

8:53 am

AsGreen

Uniquity

Thanks, FM. Just wanted to contribute.

8:53 am

Vicuna

9:01 am

FMitch

Interesting lex

9:05 am

lexleeanne

kje - they Fly

9:05 am

Vicuna

(Serves me right for not keeping up. I was wondering whether you were putting out special traps for trolls.)

9:05 am

AsGreen

omg, phone

9:05 am

Vicuna

And when the trolls start to fly we're really in trouble.

9:05 am

Haz1558

OUr little visitor has gone, by the way.

9:06 am

Haz1558

I blame FM.

9:06 am

lexleeanne

ey = haz the last letter and the first letter of the alpha in it

9:06 am

Uniquity

But I was enjoying him/her :(

9:06 am

FMitch

*sigh* very disapointing

9:06 am

kje

asgreen...come back!!!

9:06 am

Uniquity

We were both unique!

9:06 am

AsGreen

ok, I'm back - sorry!!!!!!!!!

9:06 am

lexleeanne

yeah - second troll in my career

9:07 am

Haz1558

No staying power, these young ''uns.

9:07 am

AsGreen

2 of my three are a pair - are you down to one kje?

9:07 am

Uniquity

Second? Pah! I have seen the hordes!! I miss our Aussie kinder-mates. Wonder when they will be back again.

9:07 am

lexleeanne

get it ey??

9:07 am

Haz1558

Wash out your mouth, Uniquity! The really bad invasion put years on me.

9:07 am

kje

i have one ready to enter asgreen - watcha need?

9:07 am

FMitch

Bah that was nothing, in the days of the troll wars it was a hard and bloody time... *eyes glaze over and distant look hovers*

9:07 am

AsGreen

you are too good to me kje! I'd have raced to the finish!! :)

9:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, in the days of the troll wars, we had to have 24 hour watches.

9:08 am

kls

still struggling with the ey, personally...

9:08 am

Vicuna

Many was the noble Bbbler felled by the cruel trollish hordes...

9:08 am

Uniquity

Ah, but your beauty shines through nonetheless...btw, who decided to put candy in plastic anyway? Can't open it!!

9:08 am

kje

tell us a story FM -

9:08 am

Haz1558

We had to have changeover ceremonies -based on the Changing of the Guard, of course.

9:08 am

Uniquity

I was non-pro during several troll wars...I was lost in the battle for months!

9:08 am

kje

ey + **ts are huge mice

9:08 am

AsGreen

ok, an6/7

9:08 am

Haz1558

Secret handshakes, stirring music, blood oaths. Those were the days.

9:08 am

FMitch

Once the land was full of peaful and happy players with wit and beauty

9:09 am

kls

brilliant, thanks

9:09 am

Uniquity

Not far from the truth...one could gain access to the inner sanctum by reference from another babbler.

9:09 am

Vicuna

Admittedly, some of us didn't like being full of peas all the time...

9:09 am

lexleeanne

kls - ey + (first and last letters of the alphabet)

9:09 am

FMitch

peaful? *peacful !

9:09 am

kje

an + meditation chant + * am ready for fir*works!

9:09 am

Haz1558

That inner sanctum - revealed only to the deserving by the favourable.

9:10 am

lexleeanne

sorry really bad clue - my brain went to exra

9:10 am

lexleeanne

ezra

9:10 am

kje

tell us more!!!

9:10 am

Haz1558

I agree, Vicuna. The peaful time was especially difficult for those with colourblindness.

9:10 am

AsGreen

ok, one to go! what's your last one? mine is a ra4, sure I'll find it!

9:10 am

FMitch

and then the first of them came but they were shape shifters and dwelt amongst us for a while before the war started

9:10 am

Haz1558

They thought it was blood, you see.

9:10 am

kje

mine is a pe 5

9:10 am

AsGreen

I think I know it

9:11 am

Uniquity

...And thus spake the Fmitch and the Hazel.

9:11 am

AsGreen

--- ready?

9:11 am

kje

ready when you are green

9:11 am

Haz1558

Those shape shifters! They used every trick. Diets, liposuction, plastic surgery;.

9:11 am

AsGreen

let's go!

9:11 am

Vicuna

Many were the @'s and #'s that flew during those fierce battles.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Only the enlightened with the secret of Perspective could see through them.

9:11 am

kje

fireworks!!!

9:11 am

AsGreen

--- fireworks!

9:11 am

Uniquity

Often, diction was abandoned altogether in favour of curses and cusses.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Slings and arrows of outrageous fortune were nothing to the troll wars.

9:12 am

FMitch

Even to this day there are still some left within our group but they have forgotten a lot of their old ways and the trollishness sleeps for now.

9:12 am

Uniquity

Oh, pre-planned double fireworks! Way to go KJE, As!

9:12 am

kje

WOOHOO for ASGREEN!!!

9:12 am

lexleeanne

TWINS

9:12 am

AsGreen

ooooh the video is by you!!

9:12 am

FMitch

Yay congrats kje and AsG

9:12 am

kje

FM and Haz - you do this well together - you should be a bbalecast!

9:12 am

Uniquity

Don't be so sure, FM. I have noticed dodgy behaviours in our midst...:)

9:12 am

kls

congrats, feels like ages away for me!

9:12 am

Haz1558

Who knows when the day will come that combined fireworks will waken the trollishness all over again and Troll Wars will begin again?

9:12 am

kje

thanks asgreen - that was fun ; )

9:12 am

AsGreen

WTG KJE!!! THAT WAS FUN!

9:12 am

kje

or maybe a babblecast!

9:13 am

Haz1558

Ah, see, the Unique Uniquity has been blessed with the Eye of Perspective. She sees the shape shifters for what they are!

9:13 am

kje

OK - you you're allowed to chat now asgreen- LOL

9:13 am

Haz1558

kje - I'd probably curl up and die with mortification!

9:14 am

kje

no haz - you guys play off each bit of story well - I'm mesmerized...

9:14 am

FMitch

LOL and so it was they returned to the hunt for words not trolls and all was tranquil

9:14 am

Vicuna

...until in later times they delved too deep into the grid...

9:15 am

kje

story time is over? waaaahhhhhhh

9:15 am

Haz1558

We share the same sense of the ridiculous, kje.

9:15 am

FMitch

but more of that in the next telling eh Vi?

9:15 am

Haz1558

Oh, Vicuna. You're not going to have to tell the tale of THose Who Jumped In?

9:15 am

lexleeanne

I think fireworks both scare and attract them

9:15 am

Uniquity

Jumpers? Sounds like babble suicide..

9:15 am

Vicuna

... and the prophecy was fulfilled: ont he day that ye shall find a 14 letter word, the trolls shall wake again!

9:15 am

lexleeanne

kinda like a bad traffic accident

9:16 am

markbowers7

yada is a word....Seinfeld says it...<sigh>

9:16 am

AsGreen

oooh, guess what?

9:16 am

kje

have we ever had a 14 letter word?

9:16 am

kje

whoa!

9:16 am

FMitch

No! No! No! NOT the 14 letter word, how DARE you even mention it

9:16 am

kje

what?

9:16 am

AsGreen

I just zoomed thru tivo of survivor and saw myself at 42 mins in!!

9:16 am

Haz1558

Yes. The Legend of the Fourteen Letter predicts the awakening of all that is Trollish. Only the Zap of the Zapper will suffice to kill them.

9:16 am

kje

yada yada yada

9:17 am

Uniquity

There is only room enough for 13 letter words!

9:17 am

lexleeanne

I think it has to be in at least a 3 word combo like kje

9:17 am

kje

yea asgreen - a superstar

9:17 am

lexleeanne

is she HerMoDe???

9:17 am

kje

OK - should get some work done! thanks for the fairy tale : )

9:17 am

Uniquity

We could have a grid that spelled antidisestablishmentarian. We can't fit the final ism.

9:18 am

kje

uni - LOL

9:18 am

AsGreen

ok, phone keeps ringing....I'm still in pjs.....laundry is ready to be switched AGAIN....I must run

9:18 am

FMitch

yw kje see you next time, same channel :)

9:18 am

Haz1558

That particular political movement died out because people couldn't get the slogan onto the t-shirt.

9:18 am

Haz1558

And it was a desperate problem trying to paint banners.

9:19 am

kje

LOL haz - stop it! I MUST go!

9:19 am

AsGreen

have a great day everyone - kje, that was lots of fun - you are a pal for waiting (don't think I would have thought to be so nice!!)...:)

9:19 am

Uniquity

The dyslexics were NOT a fan of antidisestablishmentarianism.

9:19 am

Haz1558

They'd start off with big letters ANTI and they'd realise that there wasn't enough room. disestab etc just ran off the sheet.

9:19 am

kje

HAGD asgreen - I'll poof with you too - too much stuff to do!

9:20 am

Uniquity

Particularly tall men would paint the word vertically down themselves.

9:20 am

AsGreen

ok, ready? *poof!

9:20 am

Haz1558

The dyslexics thought they were PROBABLY against antidisestablishmentarianism but they always ran out of interest before they had finished reading the pamphlets.

9:20 am

lexleeanne

okay let's go for supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

9:20 am

lexleeanne

even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

9:20 am

Haz1558

Oh, Uniquity. I hadn't thought of that one. Men on stilts would have beeen popular as well.

9:21 am

lexleeanne

if you say it LOUD enough you'll always sound pecosous

9:21 am

Uniquity

Lori taught me that word at 8 or so...always been my pride and joy. Been in many a debate over whether it's meaning follows all the negatives in the word.

9:21 am

lexleeanne

pecousious

9:21 am

lexleeanne

pecosious

9:21 am

Haz1558

It's a great word.

9:22 am

FMitch

precocious?

9:22 am

Uniquity

precocious? Is that what you are going for?

9:22 am

Haz1558

precocious? precious? preschooled?

9:22 am

Uniquity

Precognitive.

9:22 am

Haz1558

prehistoric? Predetermined? preshrunk?

9:22 am

Uniquity

Premeditated, permanent, presidential.

9:23 am

lexleeanne

Oh precocious - supercalifragilisticexpialidosios

9:23 am

FMitch

preformed predilation to pragmatism?

9:23 am

Haz1558

Uniquity's out of the game. When did permananent begin with pre?

9:23 am

Uniquity

Prestige!

9:23 am

lexleeanne

umdiddlediddlediddle undiddle i

9:24 am

Uniquity

Aww, I was trying to change the game :(

9:24 am

lexleeanne

9:24 am

Haz1558

Just checking that Vicuna's not joining in the song.

9:24 am

Haz1558

Okay, so we go per? Persuaded!

lexleeanne

out of body experience uni???

9:25 am

FMitch

perusal of permitted precursors of permutations

9:25 am

Haz1558

I'm sure there's therapy to be had.

9:25 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the of5?

9:25 am

FMitch

Oh can we play 20 question Uni and guess

9:26 am

Haz1558

We'll club together for treatment.

9:26 am

Haz1558

of5 - a plural for of4

9:26 am

FMitch

pl of the 4 Ouwa

9:26 am

Uniquity

I think that would be unkind, FM. :D

9:26 am

Haz1558

Or maybe we'll just use a club AS treatment

9:26 am

Ouwachita

thanks fitch

9:26 am

Haz1558

Never let it be said that we are unkind.

9:27 am

FMitch

I just expected yo uto stick your tongue out at me not be all grown up and sensible !

9:27 am

Uniquity

We are most kind. Most of the time.
Oh, well then. If my attempts at maturity will result in discomfort, I am more than willing to throw an airplane or two.. *picks nose*

9:27 am

Haz1558

Uniquity is clearly being influenced by my guiding had towards being sane and sensible.

9:28 am

lexleeanne

of5=rhymes with the simpson who's glove did not fit

9:28 am

Haz1558

Guiding hand, that should be. And what did we say about manners?

9:28 am

lexleeanne

and plural

9:29 am

Haz1558

I still say he got a hand transplant.

9:29 am

FMitch

Manners should be maintained at all times.

9:29 am

Uniquity

Sorry. *behaves*

9:29 am

pinkhatlil

fireworks!!

9:29 am

Uniquity

Way to go Pinkie!!

9:29 am

Haz - THAT is funny

9:29 am

Congrats pink!!
Right thats it, Im diving back in.

9:30 am

Uniquity

*Cowers behind chaning room door, lest I be splashed

9:31 am

Uniquity

Sounds like Asthma meds, Vic.

9:31 am

lexleeanne

vic is your keyboard acting up or did a llama like animal walk on it

9:31 am

FMitch

Excellent Vi

9:32 am

lexleeanne

I better keep my head down - I'm getting no where and this is a DOABLE grid

9:32 am

pinkhatlil

have a lovely day everyone!!

9:32 am

lexleeanne

i'm only at 36

9:32 am

Vicuna

Just one of my favorite long words. From the conversation of, like, half an hour ago, which I am only just now joining in.

9:32 am

Uniquity

I've been trying to pronounce it since you posted it. Failing miserably.

9:33 am

Haz1558

It was one of the words I remember a team using in a quiz some years ago on TV.

9:33 am

lexleeanne

did you understand the llama like animal ref??

9:33 am

Haz1558

Flocky Knocky Ni He Pilla Fication

9:33 am

lexleeanne

you get TV in the UK????

9:33 am

9:33 am

lexleeanne

jk

9:33 am

Vicuna

You mean because I'm a vicuna?

9:33 am

Haz1558

Only if you're a member of the royal family.

9:34 am

Uniquity

Well those are different interpretations of the same word...

9:34 am

FMitch

One has a televisual set or two

9:34 am

lexleeanne

YEAH - just wanted to show that I knew what that is

9:34 am

Haz1558

I think Vicuna's has more of the Italian about it.

9:35 am

lexleeanne

hey brit's fire yet?

9:35 am

Haz1558

The televisual set occasionally offers a feast of televisual experience.

9:35 am

Haz1558

But often it's rubbish.

9:35 am

lexleeanne

okay no more fight picking....

9:35 am

Uniquity

It means...the act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something, according to google definitions. Nice!

9:35 am

lexleeanne

did ya'll like Across the Universe?

9:35 am

Vicuna

Excellent, lexleeanne, excellent. You're ahead of many a babbler there.

9:36 am

Haz1558

The televisual experience of Fawlty Towers with Bernard Cribbins as the Hotel inspector who wasn't is a favourite.

9:36 am

FMitch

*pushes lex gently back into the grid*

9:36 am

Uniquity

Fawlty Towers!

9:36 am

lexleeanne

how about his words - stultifyingly monolithic

9:36 am

Vicuna

As in, Haz's floccinaucinihilipilification of my singing always makes me sad. =(

9:36 am

Haz1558

Fawlty Towers! Que?

9:36 am

FMitch

Que?

9:36 am

lexleeanne

okay I am going -

9:37 am

Uniquity

Yo quiero Taco Bell?

9:37 am

Haz1558

It's for your own good, Vicuna. I'm the Simon Cowell of the Chat Log.

9:37 am

Haz1558

What!

9:37 am

Haz1558

Watt?

9:37 am

FMitch

He invented the steam engine

9:38 am

Haz1558

I thought he was the one who dodged the apple?

9:38 am

Haz1558

Or was that Newton. Or William Tell?

9:38 am

FMitch

No that was Fig Newtons

9:38 am

Vicuna

I had a newt once.

9:38 am

Uniquity

I had a new t-shirt once

9:39 am

FMitch

Hahahahahah

9:39 am

Vicuna

Well, actually it was my roommate's newt.

9:39 am

Haz1558

They tried to have new t-shirts with 'down with disestablishmentarianism' but they were too dear. Too much ink.

9:40 am

Vicuna

tee hee!

9:40 am

Haz1558

Did you like sharing your room with a newt. Or even sharing your room-mate with a newt?

Vicuna

My favorite t-shirt was "Reunite Gondwanaland."

9:41 am

Vicuna

We were all very fond of the newt. All excpet the fish int he tank. They picked on it so dreadfully that it eventually hurled itself out of the tank in desperation and crawled away through the rawther dusty floor on a vain quest for peace.

9:41 am

Vicuna

*except

9:41 am

FMitch

Flip those n's were a battle.
Vi said a wooorrrrd!

9:42 am

Haz1558

And did it achieve world peace?

9:42 am

FMitch

but how sad for the newt, no wonder it had a drink problem

9:42 am

Vicuna

I said a slew of them. Were any of them in the grid?

9:42 am

Haz1558

No, I suppose not. A newt can have only so much effect when bushes are about.

9:42 am

FMitch

yes the f word.

9:42 am

Vicuna

No, poor thing. We found it dragging itself on its elbows like a man in the desert, gasping "Water! water!"

9:43 am

Haz1558

Well, at least it wasn't looking for alcohol.

9:43 am

Vicuna

Oh, me and those 4-letter F-words. I've got to watch my language.

9:43 am

Haz1558

No-one could accuse it of being as drunk as a newt.

9:43 am

FMitch

wow you learn a new thing every day I didn't know newts had elbows *grin*

9:43 am

FMitch

Fireworks

9:44 am

Vicuna

Was that a likely accusation, Haz? I never heard that one.

9:44 am

Haz1558

I wonder if newts can dislocate their elbows like John Terry.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Congratulations FMitch!

9:44 am

Uniquity

Aw, FM beat me. I am stuck on a stupid f4. Way to go!

9:44 am

Vicuna

Of course, I don't drink, so I suppose I'm not so up on those idioms.

9:44 am

Vicuna

Yay for FM!!!

9:45 am

Haz1558

Am I getting my drinking metaphors mixed up? I always thought newts were renowned for their inebriation.

9:45 am

FMitch

Haz is being polite but we have a phrase Pi**ed as a Newt

9:45 am

Haz1558

I don't have that phrase, you understand. Others may.

9:45 am

FMitch

Uni do you know which one you need?

9:45 am

Vicuna

It would explain why the roommate liked the idea of a newt, though.

9:46 am

Haz1558

But it's heartening to know that that newt was sober, though mistreated.

9:46 am

Vicuna

She would have had much in common with it.

9:46 am

Uniquity

And firewords. Yeah, that was DEF a f4!

9:46 am

Vicuna

Yay for Uni!

9:46 am

Haz1558

Well done Uniquity!

9:46 am

FMitch

Weeeee! Congrats Uni!

9:46 am

Vicuna

And do you know how many words my beloved children have sufferred me to find in this entire time? Stinking 11!

9:46 am

Haz1558

Such a pity she couldn't have followed the example of the teetotal newt. They might have had happier lives.

9:47 am

Haz1558

Have you ever considered trading your children in?

9:47 am

FMitch

LOL Vi

9:47 am

Haz1558

A newt or two might be less trouble.

9:48 am

Vicuna

Have I ever considered it? Have I ever considered it? Haz, I dream of it on a daily basis!

9:48 am

FMitch

Not two newts Josephine

9:48 am

Uniquity

Wow....way too far into this video/song before I realized they are all palindromes. LOVE Weird Al!

9:48 am

Haz1558

I take it the glow of MOther's Day has faded?

9:48 am

Vicuna

"Don't nobody bring me no bad newts!"

9:49 am

Haz1558

By the way - how can somebody with a name like Newt Gingrich be elected into political office?

9:49 am

FMitch

Same reason as Lembic Opic I guess

9:49 am

Uniquity

Five year olds, shouldn't they be in primary or something (American equivalent)? Or are you home-schooling?

9:49 am

Vicuna

lol. My children are perfect. I, however, am not. Therefore, I weary of them on occasion.

9:50 am

Haz1558

Oh ,we all weary of our children, it's perfectly normal. They'll get better, then worse, then better again.

9:50 am

Vicuna

They are in kindergarten, yes. But in our town it's half day, and they are in the afternoon class. We can pay extra for the other half day, so I have them in that on 3 of the 5 days. But not Monday.

9:51 am

Vicuna

They're actually a lot of fun now. I did not much enjoy the first several years of motherhood, though. Turns out I don't really like babies 24 hours a day!

9:52 am

Uniquity

Sounds a lot more complicated than it was for me...Turned five, went to primary (full day, grade before Grade one). Started school as real school. I survived! I have cousin in Toronto on her second year of "half days". IMO, not a good way to teach kids about long school days.

9:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, but bear in mind that you had twins - quite different to having one baby at a time.

9:52 am

Haz1558

Don't you love how I get a real grasp of the blooming obvious?

9:53 am

Vicuna

Yup. One baby would be a piece of cake! lol

9:53 am

Vicuna

Actually, developmentally speaking, full day primary is not for the benefit of the children. It's for the benefit of working parents.

9:54 am

Vicuna

But the only reason our town does not do full day is budget. Which si lame, since it's a perfectly wealthy town on the whole.

9:54 am

Haz1558

My two went to playgroup in the mornings when they were 4 then progressed to primary school when they were five. 9 - 12.30 initially and then 9 - 2. They were always tired by the end.

9:54 am

Uniquity

I loved it. Nothing I wanted more in the world than to do school. I was reading long before I went, so I got to read to the class. Total teachers pet.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Let's all boooooo at Uniquity.

9:55 am

Haz1558

(I was a bit the same - used to get trotted round other classes to read to them)

9:55 am

Haz1558

However, my sewing was held up for all to pity and despise.

9:56 am

Aussieme

hello Babble Family... I am mobile babbling....

9:56 am

Haz1558

(It wasn't really, but it makes for a good story)

9:56 am

OrangeCat

hi everyone. belated happy mother's day

9:56 am

Uniquity

I was always at school 6 hours or more, plus buses. Got used to it way early.

9:56 am

Vicuna

lol Haz. Of the two I think you picked wisely.

9:56 am

Uniquity

Aussie, is that a show in your icon??

9:56 am

FMitch

Hi Aussie and Orange

9:56 am

Haz1558

Don't alk to me about picking. Always the last to be selected for any sort of game.

9:56 am

Vicuna

Lori was obviously eager to be rid of you, Uni! lol

9:57 am

Aussieme

its a shoe Uniq !

9:57 am

Uniquity

I meant shoe. :(

9:57 am

Aussieme

:0) I knew what you meant Uniq !

9:57 am

Uniquity

Actually, my dad had me for grade primary, Vic. Well, he was working, so I was at my Nannie's before and after. Maybe I should be concerned...

9:58 am

Haz1558

Hello Aussie and Orange. That shoe reminds me of the 70's.

9:58 am

Vicuna

And now, having found all of 12 words (and the last few minuets wasted cannot even be fairly blamed on the children - I'll blame FM, instead) I have to get to work again. Blllgh =P

9:58 am

Haz1558

A minuet is never wasted. Ask Mozart.

9:59 am

Aussieme

Haz, it was 70's Fashion on saturday or sunday..... so there it is,

9:59 am

Vicuna

Hello, Aussie and Orange, and goodbye, all...

9:59 am

Uniquity

Responsibility is over-rated, Vic. Keep wasting time!

9:59 am

FMitch

*blows raspberry at disappearing figure of Vi*

9:59 am

Haz1558

Vicuna

Yes. If you thought newts were bad, wait till you see what cr8 can get up to.

10:07 am

FMitch

10:07 am

Haz1558

Oh, that's funny! I've even found now that I can't sit in the back seat with any degree of comfort.

10:08 am

kje

my stomach is a rock - no motion sickness...no traveler's diarrhea... can eat or do anything

10:08 am

Aussieme

Ack, what can I do ?? We were going to go visit him when we went down at the beginning of June, but, too late now....

10:09 am

kje

that is sad aussie...

10:09 am

Haz1558

Not evening morning sickness? I could dislike people like you, kje.

10:09 am

Aussieme

I HATED Morning sickness, it should have been re-named All-Day sickness for me !!

10:09 am

Haz1558

Motion sickness manufacturers would do well not to include you in trials of new remedies!

10:09 am

SharonRA

what's the fi 6? and if its the plural of the fi 5 before it, I don't have that either

10:10 am

Haz1558

fi5 -fi plus Spanish 'what?' then plural for fi6

10:10 am

Haz1558

I hear you, Aussie.

10:10 am

Aussieme

thanks for that word Haz !

10:11 am

10:11 am

Aussieme

Its no picnic kje !! I tell ya !!

10:12 am

Haz1558

Okay, but by the sound of things you'd not suffer, kje.

10:12 am

Haz1558

I used to think that morning sickness was an old wives tale put about to get sympathy for pregnant women.

10:12 am

kje

my mom said she never really got morning sickness - and we tend to be like them - so probably would have done OK

10:13 am

kje

ooo - harsh haz!

10:13 am

Aussieme

how come you never had babies kje ?? **hoping not a medical reason, just choice**

10:13 am

kje

will never be preggers now - too old : )

10:13 am

Haz1558

But then I had all day sickness myself and I learned my lesson.

10:14 am

kje

not married yet aussie - and prefer the "proper" order for that one... not into raising kids alone - that would be hard!

10:14 am

Aussieme

me too Haz.... no more smurfs for me !!

10:14 am

OrangeCat

the only myth about morning sickness is that it's restricted to morning

10:14 am

Aussieme

yes OC !!!!! I agree utterly and tutterly !!

10:14 am

kje

I think it was all in your heads!!! LOL

10:14 am

Aussieme

Ah, I see !!!!!

10:14 am

OrangeCat

all i can say is thank goodness for vanilla ice cream. i ate a truck load

10:15 am

Haz1558

The nearest I ever came to hitting my dear husband was when I staggered downstairs after yet another session of sickness and he announced 'Goodness, I'm getting fed up with this'

10:15 am

Aussieme

All I fancied was grapes, and then I was told I couldnt have them, as I was diabetic !! That sucked BIG TIME !!

10:15 am

kje

lots of nieces and nephews though aussie - it is OK - that is just the way it worked out for me : )

10:15 am

FMitch

Noooooo, Oh I bet he was popular Haz!

10:15 am

Aussieme

{{{{{kje}}}}}

10:16 am

kje

Haz!!! LOL

10:16 am

Haz1558

My reply was polite but heartfelt. 'YOU'RE tired of it??'

10:16 am

OrangeCat

my husband looked at me and said 'according to the books you should be all finished by now' I gave him the stink eye for that

10:16 am

Aussieme

It worked the same for me kje, after Nicholas died, no babies for me...... then I went on holiday to Cornwall in 2005 **september**, and May 2006, Georgia Grace came along !!

10:17 am

kje

wow - that WAS restrained haz

10:17 am

Haz1558

I couldn't summon up enough energy to do much more!

10:17 am

Aussieme

10:17 am

kje

10:17 am

10:17 am

Aussieme

fankoomuch kje !

10:18 am

Aussieme

10:18 am

kje

OK, that was sweet - he's off the hook : )

10:18 am

Haz1558

No, it was just the way it came out. He was sympathetic really, just frustrated on my behalf. Animals don't have morning sickness....

10:19 am

Aussieme

**ok, dives back in to grid for a bit**

10:19 am

Haz1558

He also commented on how badly women were walking after they gave birth. All stooped over as if in pain....

1:54 pm

tygerbryght

hey, kje. is today's video of a Dylan song? (not that familiar with his music, except for just a few songs)

1:54 pm

kje

: )

1:55 pm

kje

it is a song made up of all palindromes.... don't think anyone "gets" it - but thought it would be appropriate for a wordy group : )

1:55 pm

kje

and WOOHOO for Tyger!!! BTW

1:55 pm

tygerbryght

conx - the actual mo7 is a term for a class of herb

1:55 pm

tygerbryght

thx, kje

1:56 pm

kje

it is actually weird al yankovic singing

1:56 pm

ConXshun

oh is THAT what it is! thnaks tyger

1:56 pm

kje

conx - google wild bergamot

1:56 pm

tygerbryght

yes, I noticed that (the palindromes), but it sure sounds like Dylan. now you tell me, that sounds more like Weird Al's choice in music :D

1:56 pm

tygerbryght

yw, conx

1:57 pm

ConXshun

1:58 pm

ConXshun

yum :)

1:58 pm

tygerbryght

OTOH, the signboards offer a tremendous clue ;) - also more Weird Al's style. but the harmonica sounds as though it was intended to deceive

1:58 pm

redturtlehead

kje, its the same old theme.

1:58 pm

tygerbryght

nice horsies, turtle

1:59 pm

kje

yes, I agree it sounds like Bob Dylan - and clearly meant to deceive since he starts with a card that says "BOB"

1:59 pm

kje

...and we're back to the horse theme - LOL

1:59 pm

tygerbryght

you gotta refresh too! :D :D

1:59 pm

2:15 pm

pabtrek

thanks kje

2:15 pm

kje

LOL dan

2:16 pm

kje

lunch dan?

2:17 pm

danf63

nah, I'm ignoring some training videos right now, and no couriers nearby

2:18 pm

kje

denial, then - LOL

2:19 pm

pabtrek

is there only on s5 word

2:20 pm

kje

yes pab

2:20 pm

pabtrek

thanks kje

2:21 pm

danf63

actually, it's yearly training on legal issues for security. I have taught this class, but still have to take it every year. I just play the video in the background since there is no way to skip it, and then take the test at the end...

2:22 pm

redturtlehead

This grid is giving meproblems....

2:22 pm

kje

red - it does have some weird ones...but most are monkeyable (new word)

2:23 pm

danf63

fi4/8 is my best word so far...and I needed one!

2:23 pm

kje

so teach us something new dan - what is the big issue in courier legal issues these days : )

2:24 pm

kje

throwing hamachi... (my lunch)

2:24 pm

danf63

that's the best part...it's not courier security, it's security guard issues. The big one (according to the video) is "detaining" people, which guards are not allow to do.

2:24 pm

pabtrek

missing a f5, have fa5/18 x 2 and fo5/18, what f5/18 am I missing please

2:25 pm

kje

OK - so no detaining... good to know the next time I'm running from a security guard : )

2:26 pm

kje

3 fa 5/18s....

2:26 pm

pabtrek

thanks kje

2:26 pm

danf63

a GOOD security guard wouldn't be chasing you, since they have no power off the property

2:27 pm

kje

the front of your head one... the humor one... and will look up th other

2:27 pm

kje

ah - it is a unit of electrical capacitance - got that - LOL

2:27 pm

kje

can they detain me ON the property?

2:28 pm

pabtrek

thanks kje, that was it, fireworks

2:28 pm

kje

WOOHOO for Pab!!!

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

Yay Pabtrek!!!! I on the other hand have 54 left....

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

The break for the gym may have sapped my brain...

2:28 pm

kje

go red go

2:29 pm

pabtrek

nowto finish off my brain at sudoku

2:31 pm

danf63

sorry kje, i was taking the section test...a security guard can not detain anyone, ever! They can arrest you, but they can not hold you without arresting you (detain). Guards do not have the protection that police officers have. Our job is to observe, report, and prevent.

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

the really good ones are experts at prevention... worked with some great ones at a variety of hospitals...

2:33 pm

kje

OK... so if he is really cute and I WANT him to catch me ; ) I must remember to not leave the property and to get myself arrested - LOL

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

kje!!!! just slip him your number....

2:35 pm

kje

yes, red - have used them in the hospital as well - prefer the ones who know how to de-escalate the situation... occasionally get the ones who just make things worse

2:35 pm

danf63

the key to prevention is to be visible...I've seen guards spend the entire shift in the security office, while everything not nailed down is stolen from the property, and other guards wwho patrol a pile of sand so much it turns to rock!

2:36 pm

redturtlehead

lots of places now having an actualpolice force though...

2:36 pm

danf63

i always teach the guard to treat anyone he comes in contact with the way he would want to be treated...it makes everyone so much easier to deal with

2:36 pm

kje

at hospitals red?

2:36 pm

danf63

courier here...BRB

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

yes....we had the Duke PD,not security guards, at Duke...

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

The same in a few other teaching hospitals I worked at. They carry guns etc...and are actual Police officers....

2:37 pm

harpjane

could someone get me started on the O's?

2:38 pm

kje

yes, I know universities can have PDs...so academic hospitals will, I guess. But hadn't thought of normal hospitals having a PD - don't like the idea of them having guns around some of those patients though

2:38 pm

3:08 pm

kje
