GroovyKiwi

1:51 am

herinfernallady

Ata it wasn't the same teacher.

1:51 am

Atalante

mossABS has done it twice

1:51 am

Atalante

miss!

1:51 am

jillibus

I hope it lasts. What I don't understand is why it happened again after the experience the last time, also involving Miss Abs, who was also apologetic. The kids then were very much ruder and a lot of trouble was caused with the school and parents

1:52 am

Andree

a truly stupid move on the part of a teacher

1:52 am

herinfernallady

OH right sorry. Wrong teacher

1:52 am

Atalante

1:54 am

jillibus

nm, herin!

1:54 am

herinfernallady

That and b.f is going away for 2 weeks on saturday and my Yoga class last night was crap due to the fish wife working (she likes to have the radio on way too loud, even though everyone complains about it) Any way that is a lame excuse so sorry

1:54 am

BabbleRabble

If I had to write down every mistake I have made, there would be no more forests

Quite an ordeal, mrp, but in the long run it won't seem like such a huge chunk of time and will be worth it. Meanwhile you'll have lots of support and (((hugs)))

herinfernallady

Mr PRes i would look after you if i was in your neighbour hood

2:34 am

2:35 am

mrpresident

2:35 am

2:36 am

herinfernallady

2:36 am

mrpresident

meliae

down to 5 RE words what a pain those are

2:38 am

mrpresident

dad and the whole family has had enough... it is amazing how family tire of the same old problems and it becomes blah to them.
With dad coming along today, he got to see first hand how much goes into planning my surgery and support

2:38 am

mrpresident

re words hurt too much

2:39 am

mrpresident

he has turned his tune now and is planning how he can be more supportive. I should have got the whole bloody family to come along! LOL!!

2:39 am

herinfernallady

2:40 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Good morning/afternoon/evening all! (Please tick appropriate box)..... :)

2:40 am

meliae

sometimes it is time to say......come walk a bit in my shoes and see just what this all entails lol

2:40 am

mrpresident

evening here lorrie! good day/night to you too!

2:41 am

Atalante

I shouldn't mention this when you're just going to get a p/cath, mrp, but this is unusual and rare - my best friend who has had all sorts of problems with her p/cath is now having heart attack esque chest pains, apparently because of something to do with the p/cath. great

2:41 am

mrpresident

yes meliae, taking a look at what I face has him looking at the picture in a thousand different ways

2:43 am

mrpresident

ata, it is good to hear about any and all issues with portacaths... thanks! I will enquire about it with the cancer clinic for sure! I trust the lady who does the insertion with my life, so she will assist me with learning about complications!
I feel for your best friend!

2:44 am

Atalante

if we find out what exactly is going wrong, I'll tell you. Oh yes, its best to know all these things!

2:45 am

jillibus

I just did some googling about portacaths etc -- lots of info

2:45 am

mrpresident

I lost feeling to my upper left hand... thumb through to index finger, just the upper section, cause of a botched blood taking in my wrist... stuff goes wrong all the time with nurses etc...

2:46 am

mrpresident

oh send me a good link please jilli! I get overwhelmed with all the info on there.

2:47 am

jillibus

mrp, the Wikipedia info was good and had comparison links with PICC and central lines

2:47 am

mrpresident

it might be sitting over a nerve or at worst leaning on a major artery... poor girl

2:47 am

mrpresident

cool, will go look at it jilli! thanks!

2:48 am

Atalante

she's going to have the portacath removed, she's been waiting for a bed for a few weeks now. its caused all sorts of issues in her arm and chest. the entry wound never healed and her fingers are going nicely gangrenous. But thats just her, she has *no* immune system etc etc etc etc etc

2:48 am

jillibus

if it touches the endocardium there can be heart symptoms -- I gather experts can avoid such things

2:49 am

Atalante

so its coming out and they are going to scrape all the gloop out of the wound and sew her back up and hope

2:49 am

GroovyKiwi

so good that i can talk on the phone to ians mum and know that she still wants to talk to me =- just spent last 20 min chattin glol

2:49 am

jillibus

mrp -- I'm no medical expert -- it just made sense to me!

2:50 am

jillibus

Kiwi, that must be comforting

2:51 am

jillibus

I must go to bed -- babble well, gang! *poof*

2:51 am

GroovyKiwi

2:52 am

mrpresident

2:53 am

mrpresident

ata, that will be the best! I was warned today that a portacath is only good if the person is not chronically ill with low grade infection etc.... I just laughed!

2:53 am

GroovyKiwi

told him hes got some hard thinking to do and decisions to make when he gets home but that the door was still open if he wanted to try to work things out at any stage (dont yell at me for saying that lol - i know hes gone and i gotta get on with life but its what i feel)

2:53 am

mrpresident

2:55 am

Andree

2:55 am

GroovyKiwi

GroovyKiwi

3:01 am

Haz1558

Good morning Atalante and hello all- I'm in silent observation deployment mode. Spangle is on cat guard at the front door. Nothing gets by us.

3:01 am

mrpresident

3:01 am

Atalante

oh good for Spangle! do cats regularly get through the front door for her to growl at?

3:02 am

GroovyKiwi

gee andree didnt realise you were that mature lol

3:02 am

Andree

so now after 5 years we are almost freinds, he emails me every few days etc, the kids think it is weird

3:02 am

Haz1558

They go past the front door. The cheek!

3:02 am

mrpresident

andree is mature, but young at heart!! lovely andree

3:02 am

Atalante

Haz1558

A shirt made from hair? Spin hair into thread, make into cloth, sew it together. Scratching results.

3:31 am

LoriP

Looks like this will be a fun grid. ***averts eyes from little yellow tiles***

3:32 am

Andree

made from horsehair i think , very uncomfortable

3:32 am

Haz1558

Shorn hair from Jews in Auschwitz was also made into hair cloth. An uncomfortable fact I discovered.

3:33 am

Haz1558

In fact, not just Jews, prisoners generally.

3:33 am

Andree

in the movie amazing grace a hair shirt is worn not only uncomfortable but also ugly

morning! silverclaw is here trying to help me

Good evening

5:15 am

Atalante

hiii

5:15 am

mrpresident

hi miss abs :)

5:16 am

pinkhatlil

hi miss, mr p, ursh and lorrie

5:16 am

Miss ABS

Ata I just wanted to pop on and make sure things were kosher tonight after yesterday. And to say I was sorry for the behaviour and hostile take over of my children. Mr. P I just emailed you btw.

5:16 am

Miss ABS

Hello Pin :)

5:16 am

Atalante

everything was normal this morning!

5:16 am

Miss ABS

How are you Mr. P.? Long time no see!

5:17 am

Miss ABS

Ah good to hear, they had a note sent home and a talk from the principal at my request as well. That type of behaviour online isn't gonna work for me.

5:17 am

mrpresident

things have been fine ! the kids were quite good, but unfortunately they didn't follow net safety rules very well
am doing ok thanks!

5:18 am

Miss ABS

Is it getting cold in your neck of the woods now?

5:18 am

mrpresident

i heard you wrote to the parents! how did that go down?

5:18 am

Atalante

at the end of the day, they may bug people in the chat for a few days, but giving out their names and msn names is much more serious. hopefully they'll learn that at least!

5:19 am

Miss ABS

Not sure, I'll get the brunt tomorrow. Many of them don't want to hear that their kids have been doing anything they're not supposed to.

5:19 am

mrpresident

it is getting very cool! summer clothing definitely put away!

5:19 am

Miss ABS

Yeah that's my biggest worry as well, and I drum net safety into them every time we ever log on in class. They just don't think.

5:19 am

Miss ABS

Yeah for me as well. I've moved to a hills area and it's quite chilly.

5:20 am

Atalante

of coruse not, they're kids. all you can do is keep banging the info into them!

5:20 am

mrpresident

and you are very much south from me! it must be nice in the hills though :)

5:21 am

Miss ABS

Yeah, I just wanted the babble community to know that I hadn't turned them loose intentionally. In fact they didn't see the website addy from me. So it is highly frustrating

5:21 am

Miss ABS

It is lovely in the hills actually, nice having an open fire on the weekends with a glass of red *winks*

5:22 am

pinkhatlil

phantom tiptoe

5:22 am

mrpresident

oh good on you! i am indulging in some white wine and pasta at the moment! too comfortable to pass it up :)

5:22 am

Atalante

well, at least you know they get an A* for ingenuity!

5:22 am

Miss ABS

LOL I hadn't noticed that pin till you said it!

5:22 am

Miss ABS

Yum! I just got back from an IT seminar so I've not had my tea yet.

5:22 am

Atalante

herinfernallady

8:14 am

8:22 am

Aussieme

I replied Herin xx

8:29 am

saphyre

:) economy is just bad - businesses are closing all over here

8:29 am

EvaNadine

sometimes, i think my boyfriend likes to think opposite from me just to be difficult!
*ugh!*

8:29 am

Judi

Hi, Eva. I think that's called Mars vs. Venus.

8:30 am

saphyre

I have a puppy on my lap at the moment and a cat trying to takeover the keyboard

8:30 am

Aussieme

I will be back later on after work. I finish at 11pm my time.... Love and Hugs Babble family xx

8:30 am

Aussieme

**poof**

8:30 am

saphyre

bye Aussie

8:30 am

Judi

Bye, Aussie!

8:30 am

EvaNadine

we are headed to Boston this weekend for our friends wedding + we are disagreeing every step of the way about everything...
keeping in mind, he doesnt travel much + i basically grew up in the airports....

8:31 am

herinfernallady

Aussie i have sent you a message

8:31 am

herinfernallady

Still sucks Saphyre

8:31 am

Judi

Uh oh. Separate IPods for you two Eva.

8:31 am

saphyre

yeah it does but things have a way of working out

8:32 am

KrisE

Welcome to Boston, EvaNadine

8:32 am

SharonRA

i saw something on CBS news monday night that said that there was a trucker protest in london over gasoline prices....was it as big as they reported?

8:32 am

KrisE

Where's the wedding

8:32 am

KrisE

Hi all...

8:32 am

EvaNadine

he wants to just leave the car at the airport over the weekend, but his parents only live 20 minutes from the airport + have offered to drive us there + pick us up, so id much prefer not leaving the car there, since itll be MY car being left there....

8:32 am

saphyre

hi KrisE

8:33 am

EvaNadine

also, he just wants to check our bags + i know it can be a nightmare dealing with checked luggage...plus, we are only gonna be there for 2 nights, so how much stuff do we really need?
i refuse to check my bags for a weekend!

8:33 am

saphyre

not to mentiont hat is is expensive to park at most airports - we paid $29 a night last week

8:33 am

EvaNadine

kris -- the wedding is in the holiday inn at beacon hill

8:33 am

Judi

Well, that's just silly, Eva. Why pay for airport parking if you don't have to. Unless you'll be coming back on the redeye, take advantage of the limo offer from the in-laws.

8:34 am

EvaNadine

he is just very set in his ways and once he has an idea, any other idea is stupid and wrong.

8:35 am

KrisE

I used to live on Beacon Hill -- used to swim in the pool at that HolidayInn

8:35 am

saphyre

flying from dca or bwi?

8:35 am

Judi

Dear Gawd. Avoid backage check-in whenever possible. That's my motto. American Airlines just started charging $15.00 for checked baggage. Talk about a rip off. It's only a matter of time before the other airlines follow suit, though.

8:35 am

KrisE

You shouldn't have to have a car in Boston

8:35 am

EvaNadine

flying from BWI

8:35 am

herinfernallady

B.f is going OS for 2 weeks on saturday we are lucky and have public transport from our door to the airport

8:36 am

Alexand94

Can i have some help for the 9-letters, 10-letters and 11.letter word?

8:36 am

saphyre

US Air is 1 bag free - every extra bag $25

8:36 am

Judi

Personally, I think the airlines are shooting themselves in the foot by adding more fees. I guess they feel they have to do it to make ends meet.

8:37 am

EvaNadine

i grew up traveling + living in + out of airports....he has hardly traveled at all.
im like "listen to me, and trust me. i know what im talking about"
we are flying southwest + they allow each person 2 carry-ons, so thats what we are going to do.
whether he likes it or not! :P

8:37 am

saphyre

a purse or laptop is considered a carry-on now

8:38 am

Boobear

clue for in 11 please

8:38 am

Alexand94

I need some help to some of the long words

8:38 am

Judi

Eva, does Southwest let you do advanced check-in online?

8:38 am

EvaNadine

i will have all my clothes + that stuff in my suitcase + my book, purse + ipod (and whatever else) shoved inside the bag i use for work.

8:38 am

hurshy

i have officially been offered the job, phew.

8:38 am

EvaNadine

judi, i dunno...havent looked into that

8:38 am

EvaNadine

congrats hurshy!

8:39 am

hurshy

8:39 am

saphyre

8:39 am

herinfernallady

We have a 25 kilo one bag limit

8:39 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, make a to-do list...that is what saves my sanity

8:39 am

herinfernallady

Yah HURSHy

8:39 am

Judi

I now US Airways, Delta and other do offer it. You can check-in online 24 hours in advance and print out your own boarding pass. You just have to show the boarding pass and your ID at security.

8:39 am

saphyre

hi Annie

8:39 am

Anniebrook

and congrats on the job offer, hurshy

8:39 am

hurshy

8:39 am

Anniebrook

8:40 am

saphyre

8:40 am

herinfernallady

I put a to do list on the back of my hand or one on the fridge

8:40 am

hurshy

thank you all, for, you know, everything all the time support and encouragement etc etc etc

8:40 am

EvaNadine

looks like they do!

8:41 am

Judi

It's a HUGE time saver, Eva. As for baggage check, let hubby do it at the curb and tell him you'll meet him at the boarding gate!

8:41 am

saphyre

lol

8:41 am

EvaNadine

hubby? oh my! we are still at the BF stage here...heh

8:42 am

Judi

Sorry - BF.

8:43 am

EvaNadine

gotta learn these things about him, like whether or not id kill him in the airport on our honeymoon. ;)

8:43 am

herinfernallady

Eva thats true. I have to let mine go by himself on saturday :(

8:44 am

Judi

Oh jeesh, Eva. If you're going to have to kill him, do it at home or after the wedding. Don't lock down the airport for the rest of us poor souls.

8:44 am

Marmar

Oh Hurshy, I just walked by the computer screen and saw your good news...Heartfelt congratulations!

8:44 am

Alexand94

8:45 am

herinfernallady

HI Marmar

Marmar

Hi everyone!

Alexand94

my best is a 7-letters :/

8:45 am

Marmar

Hi Lady

8:45 am

EvaNadine

in11/104 starts with someone who is not quite a doctor yet

8:46 am

Marmar

seems like lots of wonderful things happening to Babblers lately.

8:46 am

Judi

It's either that or lots of alcohol and xanax before the flight - so he'll sleep and not drive you bonkers.

8:46 am

Alexand94

who is not a docto yet

8:47 am

EvaNadine

eh, driving me nuts is what he does best. its just a matter of if i can let it roll of my back that day.
i tell ya, i love this guy, but being with him has really made me learn whats important enough to pick a fight over. ;)

8:47 am

SharonRA

lol, great word. Thanks

8:48 am

Alexand94

i dont know what a not yet doctor is called..

8:48 am

Alexand94

8:49 am

saphyre

8:49 am

SharonRA

8:53 am

BzznBea

saphyre

ok time to report the troll

9:08 am

inge

coming back later as well

9:08 am

Marmar

Great Alex, just concentrate on the grid awhile and relax. I try to start with one of the letters on the grid, say top right hand corner, and try to "see" possiblities. The chat shouldn't really play a role at first while you're getting used to it...

oh Alex, now I'm going to quit wasting minutes of my life on your problem.

9:08 am

Alexand94

im a human

9:08 am

bizzoca

ahhh, relax, it's just a kid

9:08 am

LoriP

G'd morning B, yep, the usual gerund, and the **e cream letters get some mileage as well

9:09 am

Anniebrook

i think alex is a repeat of yesterday from MissABS class

9:09 am

BzznBea

Thanks for the suffix info, all.

9:09 am

saphyre

emailed Dr God

9:09 am

Anniebrook

MissABS's class

9:09 am

Anniebrook

thanks, saphyre...you beat me to it

9:09 am

LoriP

G'd morning Annie, didn't see ya' there

9:10 am

Anniebrook

hi lori, was lurking...trying to have patience

9:11 am

LoriP

lol, patience, what's that? Was a fun grid, but some unusual ones as well.

9:11 am

saphyre

ok I broke my coffepot last nite while washing it - trolls and no coffee don't mix

9:11 am

Anniebrook

YAY for lori!!!! w00t w00t

9:12 am

LoriP

oh saphyre. :( Coffee is essential

9:12 am

Anniebrook

saph, can't do without a coffeepot, no way

9:12 am

LoriP

lol, thanks Annie, really, really enjoyed this one.

9:13 am

Marmar

Saphyre, that makes me think of my Polish friends here, they drink what they call "Polish Coffee", put the coffee grounds in a cup, pour hot water over them, stir, wait and drink! Don't see how they stand it!

9:13 am

saphyre

i need to improvise- a really big cup where the pot should go?

9:13 am

BzznBea

I would have had to run to Wal-Mart, no matter how late it was!

9:13 am

saphyre

Unfortunately the only place that sells this particular replacement is 45 minutes from here

9:14 am

Anniebrook

bzz, that is what i did about a month ago when I broke the carafe on my MrCoffee

9:14 am

BzznBea

I always have an extra one around.

9:14 am

LoriP

I buy the $10 coffee makers, and when a pot breaks, I just go buy a new coffee maker. It's cheaper than a pot

9:15 am

nancethefan

hey y'all - hugggggggsssssssssss

9:15 am

BzznBea

Hey, Nance!

9:15 am

saphyre

Mine has all the bells and whistles - but without the carafe what good is it lol

9:15 am

saphyre

hi nance

9:16 am

bizzoca

you all blast the kid for asking for help and then sit here talking about coffee pots!!!! who's the troll

9:16 am

Anniebrook

lori, I love your words of wisdom in your icon, esp. the Carlin one

9:16 am

saphyre

we didn't blast anyone for asking for help

9:17 am

bizzoca

scroll down

9:17 am

saphyre

but being rude and scrolling the chat is not appreciated

9:17 am

bizzoca

you were mean

9:17 am

saphyre

bizzoca - if someone refuses to even look at the grid to find words then they do not belong here

9:18 am

nancethefan

y'all fighting?

9:18 am

Anniebrook

we were not mean to him....he or she was told to look for easy words over and over and then ask for help. he or she refused to do that

9:18 am

bizzoca

ok, but being mean is just ugly. it was obvious from the screen name that it was a kid

9:18 am

LoriP

G'd morning nance. Annie, I love George Carlin

9:19 am

nancethefan

Next week I need to go for my final, an "appointment" at which I play the helping social worker an dthe teacher plays the help seeking client, the week after that I need to go to my workplace to go over the portfolio with th eteacher and my boss, and in between there's a presentation I need to goive at work, but this was the last time we'll be together as a group. The degree has been sold to another school and we are all going to different camuses for teh alst half year next year. We went to a nice pub (been a pub since 1645) to see each other off.

9:26 am

nancethefan

you are very welcome

9:26 am

MonkeyGames

Too many Dutch words in the grid again today. Taht always throws me off on school days.

9:26 am

BzznBea

I have great admiration for you, MonkeyGames. Aren't you doing all of this with a young child?

9:26 am

rururocks

yeah I found the re 10

9:26 am

movieman

the re9 plz

9:26 am

MonkeyGames

Well, it's a Bachelor's... soBAchelor's in Social Work?

9:27 am

BerniceQ

9:27 am

MonkeyGames

And no, BEa, he goes to daycare instead. Ha, ha, Yes, I have a three-year-old.

9:27 am

harpjane

well oi

9:27 am

BerniceQ

i've interpreted a bunch of social work programs (i'm a sign language interpreter) and i have deep respect for what they do

9:27 am

Anniebrook

share the clue for the 10, ruru?

9:27 am

harpjane

well i've been a social worker for25 years and it has it's moments! not a bad profession

9:28 am

BzznBea

I know how hard that is as I got my BSE with two little girls. (and there big baby dad)

9:28 am

rururocks

re10 what cashiers at Walmart do all day handing to customers

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

I've been really enjoying the courses, although I definitely bit off too much... but I have survived so far...

9:28 am

BerniceQ

one social work professor said that social workers are the bridge between what this society claims to believe in and what they actually support, because we claim to want to help people and lift them out of poverty, etc. but we pay social workers so little

9:29 am

Anniebrook

thanks, ruru

9:29 am

rururocks

and over work them with giant case loads bernice

9:29 am

nancethefan

i'll never forget taking discreet mathematics - i cried at the kitchen table - got a B but it made me cry - lol

9:29 am

nancethefan

hey ruru

9:29 am

MonkeyGames

Ha, that's good! Yes, I've been doing an unpaid internship for the two years and I see what the pay scales are like for others... But here it does vary a lot...

9:29 am

nancethefan

or is it discrete?

9:30 am

nancethefan

lol

9:30 am

BerniceQ

it varies here too--depends if you work for the city, or private therapy, or what

9:30 am

MonkeyGames

The problem is both are words, Nance. I never can remember which is which.

9:30 am

sprite

hi all :) Back for the rest

9:30 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, like that, Bernice.

9:30 am

nancethefan

hey sprite

9:30 am

Jen34

i think it's discrete

9:30 am

saphyre

9:31 am

Anniebrook

hi sprite

9:31 am

The good news is I managed to balance everything just right so that I do get to take Walter to see his great-grandfather in a couple of weeks.

9:31 am

nancethefan

9:31 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Sprite!

9:32 am

MonkeyGames

Not necessarily looking forward to two 14-hour flights with a three-year-old... but so it goes, eh? Definitely worth it. I miss my grandafather; he and my grandmother brought me up. It'll be good to see him. He's 91.

9:32 am

BzznBea

Thanks for that re clue, ruru. I was looking for a re word.

9:32 am

Jen34

you all are so good at remembering what words not to use in chat . . . i drop words all the time

9:32 am

9:32 am

MonkeyGames

Me too, Jen. Me too.

9:32 am

nancethefan

9:33 am

9:34 am

MonkeyGames

Look at all the Dutch words, Sprite! Munt, gieter, and phantom poging!

9:34 am

movieman

ty sprite

9:34 am

MonkeyGames

Walter does not bore well. Easily, yes, but well, no. Instead I shall entertain him into the ground.

9:34 am

rururocks

GIve him a Biography of George Bush to read that will put him under

9:35 am

sprite

omg, yes MonkeyG, and re4enier, and many more, lol

9:35 am

Jen34

9:35 am

nancethefan

lol

9:35 am

MonkeyGames

Well, he does know all his letters and has taken an interest in trying to read...

9:35 am

sprite

lol ruru :D
Or a rubber hammer.

9:36 am

nancethefan

do you get the Highlights magazine? if so, buy a bunch of them & have him search for the hidden pictures

9:36 am

MonkeyGames

He's got one, actually... Maybe we should bring it. But I think Jen meant a soft-shoe shuffle, a dance style that has nearly died out but that I have been priveleged now and again to see.

9:36 am

Jen34

it never fails :o)

9:36 am

MonkeyGames

Nance, good idea, but we don't have that here... I can find him something, though.

9:37 am

sprite

and MonkeyG, a walkman with a good headphone (no plugs) with his favo music and some new stuff.

9:37 am

Jen34

oh, Highlights . . . I used to read that in the dentist's office . . . Goofus and Gallant

9:37 am

MonkeyGames

He likes stickers, things with things hidden in them, things he can tear up....

9:37 am

Anniebrook

later, dear babblers, bye.....have a great trip, MG

9:37 am

9:37 am

nancethefan

bye annie - tc

9:37 am

MonkeyGames

He doesn't listen to music much, although he does enjoy trying to play it. With any luck he'll turn out like my grandfather musically: www.samhinton.org

9:38 am

sprite

also, if you have the patience, a couple of kid's magazines, some paper and glue. Let him tear out pics and glue them on paper to make a 'painting'

9:38 am

MonkeyGames

Bye and thanks, AnnieG!

9:38 am

tee_jay

monkeygames, i'm sure you've heard this, but we got a portable dvd player for our toddler. she only gets to watch it on planes.

9:42 am

sprite

wow Merk... now I must finish!

9:42 am

MonkeyGames

Karin at school has griep-oog.

9:42 am

BzznBea

Is the ce7 from the ce6 above it?

9:42 am

rururocks

pooter sounds to me like it should be a bird or something.

9:42 am

Merk

You will, Sprite. Just remember the gerund endings and comparatives.

9:42 am

MonkeyGames

Didn't catch that; was also chatting briefly with my dad. Tear and glue as in collage-type stuff? Very good suggestion for my monkey! Thanks!

9:42 am

nancethefan

lol - i tried poot but not pooter

9:42 am

Jen34

add a letter before the last two letters, bzznbea

9:43 am

Jen34

MonkeyGames

I'll definietly take along supplies for that, Sprite.

9:44 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks.

9:45 am

If you can't get the clues, do try www.moreword.com for additional help.

11:25 am

MLFAN17

Hi ajv

11:25 am

Haz1558

www.morewords.com that should be. I use it all the time and it's a huge help.

11:25 am

EvaNadine

i like www.a2zwordfinder.com

11:26 am

Haz1558

Yes, I've used it as well.

11:26 am

MLFAN17

Haz guess what?

11:26 am

EvaNadine

hints for the 10s?

11:27 am

kparker313

i like the a2zwordfinder as well. Glad to hear others use it, couldn't help feeling like it's "cheating" a bit. Glad to hear I'm not the only one using it.

11:27 am

Haz1558

By hints do you mean first two letters or do you want more?

11:27 am

DR1965

Eva- both add gerund endings to the words above them

11:27 am

Haz1558

It's absolutely not cheating to use resources that are available. It saves asking for clues.

11:27 am

EvaNadine

hrm. i guess ill start with first 2 letters/stats but im sure ill want a push in the right direction. ;)

11:27 am

kparker313

lol

11:28 am

DR1965

pr and re 10

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

and the 11 please?

11:28 am

bichon

I feel it's cheating, but I'd never be able to finish without it. I'm not competitive about this game so I don't take it all that seriously

11:28 am

Haz1558

Okay, re10 (gerund ending)

11:28 am

DR1965

in 11 TO

11:28 am

Haz1558

pr10 -gerund ending as well.

11:29 am

EvaNadine

got the PR...that was easy enough...

11:29 am

Haz1558

in11 - a papal ambassador (think of the word for 'to bury, and put it in front of the normal word we use for the ambassador - it starts with a convent sister)

11:29 am

DR1965

Yea Eva

11:29 am

MLFAN17

Haz i used the site you put the address in here for adn from the clue i was given i was able to find the EI 7 lol

11:29 am

EvaNadine

i sadly have a vast shortage or RE words today...
oh well, no worries. :)

11:29 am

kparker313

Shoot, I used to feel asking for clues in the chog was cheating, but definitely don't anymore - it's fun to help each other out - makes it more of a social game, not so much a solitaire

11:29 am

DR1965

feeling invisible... will go bac kto lurking

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

ty haz!

11:30 am

Haz1558

So, the moral of the story is, use online resources, ML!

11:30 am

DR1965

Eva- when you buy something you get a re***** from the sales person

11:30 am

MLFAN17

Haz wasnt aware of that one but ty

11:40 am

11:40 am

11:40 am

Haz1558

Don't be trying to light candles for every year - the heat will put you out. Happy birthday to grandpa!

Uniquity

How is daughter doing on her travels?

11:43 am

Haz1558

She has arrived safely, thanks, Uniquity. She claimed both flights were horrific, but she's there, that's the main thing.

11:43 am

Haz1558

inge, it's a place where you get food in the evenings. Use two vowels to extend the preceding ni5/10

Uniquity

Sejrup, are you part of the school assignment group?

12:08 pm

EvaNadine

never get them wet, and NEVER feed them after midnight...

Uniquity

Oh Eva...that was perfect!

12:09 pm

caitlyn

LOL Eva

12:09 pm

Sejrup

Sut min pik!

12:09 pm

bethn

kind of like tribbles, also

12:11 pm

What is sad is that we welcome genuine new young players ,Is just that some are just here to disrupt

12:11 pm

kje

20 left - must get work done - BBL

12:12 pm

caitlyn

Bye kje take care

12:12 pm

bethn

bye kje

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

exactly, caitlyn

12:12 pm

Uniquity

That's the thing, Cait. My younger brothers play occasionally, but most often they identify their relationship to me so they don't come off as a troll. The group with the homework assignment have to do this but don't want to, so aren't as pleasant. And of course there arethe naughty Aussies and our group of Dutch (?).

12:14 pm

EvaNadine

so long as someone doesnt come on here saying "give me words!!" (or some horrible, child-type misspelling of something likewise) im more than willing to help out a newbie, child or not.
but as soon as you show that you just want someone to come on here and do the work for you, i have no time for you.

12:14 pm

caitlyn

There was an apology this morning about the ones that have been on this week.My grandchildren also play when they are here and I get worried now about what they will read

12:14 pm

Atalante

give me words! now! :D

12:15 pm

EvaNadine

im DONE with you, ata!!

12:15 pm

caitlyn

B..... off!!

12:15 pm

bethn

i just try to ignore it , the more you engage them the worse they get

12:15 pm

Atalante

I hate u Eva! You suck!!

12:15 pm

EvaNadine

precisely, beth!

12:15 pm

midnightbex

I am completely stumped on the last tu5/12. Anyone willing to help out?

12:15 pm

Atalante

love your pic, Eva!

12:15 pm

EvaNadine

I HaTe U2 AtA!!

12:15 pm

bethn

i'm calling dr god right now

12:15 pm

pabtrek

help with the other en8 please, have the en8/50(going thru a door)

12:15 pm

Uniquity

Cait - what I read yesterday from several babblers offended me, let alone my younger brothers. Sadly, supervision is now necessary here. The language was inexcusable and disappointing. I know your granddaughter caught a bad scenario a few weeks ago Cait, directed at Jacs. It's a shame.

12:16 pm

bethn

dont have that one pab :(

12:16 pm

caitlyn

I just make sure Im with her now when she is playing

12:16 pm

EvaNadine

i do my best to ignore it all, sending messages to Dr God when needed. but never do i engage them.

12:16 pm

Uniquity

Only one en8 in my list...

12:17 pm

Uniquity

135467i (younger brother) babbles solo occasionally, but usually only when I am around. He uses expert and completes the grids whenever he actually sets his mind to it. Great learning technique!

12:17 pm

caitlyn

pab en plus t5/14

12:17 pm

tee_jay

oh, my. i just noticed there was an 11-letter word in there. yikes. i think i'm going to tuck my tail in and run away until tomorrow. carry on, brave soldiers!

12:18 pm

bichon

ne 8?

12:18 pm

Atalante

its a shame when people misuse babble, cos its such a good aid for kids. I would have *loved* to have babble when I was younger

12:19 pm

caitlyn

ne8 ne vowel, number and most of frozen water

12:19 pm

Uniquity

When I first joined I was non-pro for well over a year. At first got lost in the troll shuffle a lot. Hard to break into this place if you happen to join at same time as trolls. (btw, thanks Ata :))

12:19 pm

eieios

i guess i haven't been paying enough attention to the chat lately. gladly, i missed said incidents.

12:19 pm

pabtrek

thanks caitlyn, have that one, it's an en7 you clued

12:19 pm

pabtrek

thanks caitlyn

12:19 pm

caitlyn

Sorry I just noticed that pab

12:20 pm

Atalante

*grins* it was so nice to see you enjoying pro-ness!

12:20 pm

Uniquity

I don't agree with babble as a homework assignment though...I see no need for a child in elementary school to have to use a computer for anything other than typing up reports (and even that is a stretch)

12:20 pm

Uniquity

Pab - There is only the one en8, unless I am being uber-blind.

12:21 pm

caitlyn

I agree Uni

12:21 pm

bichon

thanks for the ne 8

12:21 pm

Atalante

me too. Uni's always right

12:21 pm

bethn

i had the same experience uni, i went pro very quickly because of the troll situation

12:21 pm

nbjasmine

well i saw the whole thing, bad language and all!

12:21 pm

eieios

how does being pro help?

12:22 pm

nbjasmine

it was disturbing because of the "pro" adults reaction more than the kids. the kids were annoying at worst.

12:22 pm

bethn

people realize you are not a troll and genuinely need assistance

12:22 pm

Uniquity

Many claim that a troll won't pay to go pro. I've seen pro trolls (LOL) but it is considered a way to distinguish serious players from jokers.

12:22 pm

nbjasmine

sorry to break in like this, but i never expected that kind of language and reaction from adults

12:22 pm

eieios

gotcha

12:22 pm

bethn

i was never rude just got lumped into the mix

12:23 pm

pabtrek

oh, okay, Uni, missing an 8 that's why I asked, have en, gr, ne, pe, pr, re x2, and un, what I am I missing

12:23 pm

eieios

i hate to hear that too b/c one of the reasons i play is the quality of people and chat.

12:23 pm

caitlyn

I agree nbj It was disturbing to see

12:23 pm

Atalante

people did over-react, but I can understand the frustration

12:23 pm

Uniquity

Nbj...to put it lightly, I took the whole incident very seriously. The adult behaviours were deplorable and I have resolved not to confront that individual any further. It was beyond any blow-up I have had the misfortune to catch and the (serious) threats disturbed me greatly. [/petty]

12:24 pm

fruittart

hi all. *pops head into chat*

12:24 pm

pabtrek

I agree nbj, the language was too much

12:24 pm

caitlyn

A couple of the pro players used bad language which is no example to the younger players

12:24 pm

caitlyn

Hi fruit

12:24 pm

stidmama

Did I miss a troll? *sadly puts troll spray away*

12:24 pm

stidmama

hi all

12:24 pm

stidmama

oh oh -- dog is being sick. brb

12:25 pm

caitlyn

Hi stid!!

12:25 pm

Uniquity

HA! Pab, it is a to 8 I think.

12:25 pm

pabtrek

from what I read in the chat log, the kids weren't even being that bad, not like other trolls that have been on here

12:25 pm

pabtrek

thanks Uni

12:25 pm

nbjasmine

hi all, stid, fruit and everyone

12:25 pm

fruittart

glad I've been busy and missed these incidents. One of the things I love most about babble is my Tartlet 1 (11 yr old) can play.

12:25 pm

Atalante

they were *annoying* over a few days. especially the first day they can on - and certainly did use bad language then

12:25 pm

eieios

i still have 113 to go. i am not much help right now. my pounding head isn't helping either!

12:25 pm

caitlyn

Hi nbj

12:25 pm

nbjasmine

i thought their annoyingness was refreshingly innocent. lol

12:25 pm

Uniquity

LOL. Tartlet? Truly? Does he/she know about this nickname? :)

12:26 pm

pabtrek

clue for that to8 Uni, please

12:26 pm

nbjasmine

{{{cait}}}

12:26 pm

Uniquity

The problem is though that it isdifficult to differentiate between those who cause trouble, those who don't know better, and those who really want to play. I try to avoid lump judgments, but that is what happened.
Oh, Pab I don't *have* it...I just looked it up in the list for you, sorry :(

12:26 pm

fruittart

Depending on the kids behavior I call them Tartlet # or Thing # (from Dr. Suess) ;)

12:27 pm

nbjasmine

well, on another topic, we had a tragedy here last nite

12:27 pm

pabtrek

that's okay, am resisting go to the list yet

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

tragedy??

12:27 pm

bethn

i came in at the tail end , i am too new here to try and insert myself into stopping that kind of response, it seems to make for very hard feelings i have seen too many hurt feelings and snits on chog , i dont want to start one

12:27 pm

caitlyn

Right I have to go ,grandchildren back........see you all tomorrow, bye

12:27 pm

pabtrek

what happened nbj

12:27 pm

stidmama

back again

12:28 pm

eieios

uh oh, nbj, what happened?

12:28 pm

bethn

what happened nbj

12:28 pm

Uniquity

Tragedy? Not goat related, I hope.
(And Fruit - that is ADORABLE. I have many nicknamesin family, but Lori just referrs to us in birth order on here)

12:28 pm

pabtrek

bye caitlyn

12:28 pm

nbjasmine

bye cait, see you next time

12:28 pm

fruittart

For a couple of weeks Tartlet 1 was getting up early in the morning and playing . . . and then I found out that when people were asking for hints she was typing the words into chat rather than a clue! I've given her some etiquette lessons since then

12:28 pm

Uniquity

Stupid broken space bar... ((Caitlyn and grand-kids))

12:28 pm

nbjasmine

our milk goat, we just got, was killed by a neighbor's pit bull

12:28 pm

Atalante

oh nooo :(

12:29 pm

pabtrek

oh, no, nbj, that's horrible

12:29 pm

bethn

oh no! how did it get in

12:29 pm

Uniquity

Fruit - my below double digits brother also play with Lori...they aren't allowed to use chat though. It is too tough to get them to remember safety rules so far.

12:29 pm

nbjasmine

my 8yo was hearthbroken. he already had bonded

12:29 pm

stidmama

oh no... I am so sorry nbj!

12:29 pm

stidmama

that is just so sad.

12:30 pm

Uniquity

Jasmine, that's horrible! I know you were so excited about the goats, it must have been an awful scene...Did you call the SPCA? Animals that attack usually are then obligated to be put down, aren't they?

12:30 pm

EvaNadine

so sorry to hear, NBJ!

12:30 pm

nbjasmine

it dug under the fence. we have an enclosed field, all gates closed and locked, fairly dog proof. but the pit bull got in under the far gate

12:30 pm

fruittart

oh, jasmine. so awful. when i grew up we had sheep and I remember vividly some dog attacks.

12:31 pm

Atalante

you should call the authorities, if it will kill a goat ...

12:31 pm

bethn

i feel so badly for your 8 yr old . very hard to accept

12:31 pm

pabtrek

I agree with Ata, the authorities need to be notified, it could be a child next

12:31 pm

bethn

are your neighbors responsible types? or will they rationalize - not his fault....

12:32 pm

marilyn from NY

in11.104

12:32 pm

fruittart

my dad talked about the 3 S's of these things -- shoot. shovel. shut up.

12:32 pm

Uniquity

I hope that your children didn't have to see anything...that sounds awful enough as it is. I know in Canada you can/should demand the dog be put down after an attack. I don't mean to deprive someone of a pet, but they obvuiously can't control it and it is obviously adanger.

12:32 pm

pabtrek

he didn't see the attack did he nbj, bad enough to find it

12:33 pm

Uniquity

Marilyn - I don't have it, sorry.

12:34 pm

pabtrek

in5/10 + nu6/24(papal ambassador)

12:35 pm

stidmama

in most U.S. states, animals that kill livestock have to be put down. That this creature went after an animal that was well corralled only adds to its potential for future harm. *very sad face of a dog lover*

12:37 pm

Uniquity

Thanks Stid, I was wondering if there were a law. I can only hope that the dog doesn't go after any thing/one else. ((nbjasmine))

12:37 pm

bethn

i know stid, it is hard to advocate for the death of any animal, but in these kinds of cases i dont see any other alternative

12:37 pm

Atalante

except really the owners should be put down instead

12:38 pm

fruittart

i'm with ata!

12:38 pm

Uniquity

My stepmother had a biting dog when I was young..she let it bite nearly ten people before my brother nearly lost an eye. I have become very touchy about people who treat their animals badly/let them attack.

12:39 pm

Uniquity

Rather than train it or admit the truth, she let it bite until she was forced to put it down. Animal mistreatment is disgustingly easy to get away with.

12:39 pm

Atalante

grrrrr yes it is

12:40 pm

Atalante

especialyl when ts not obvious. when the animal looks well and healthy

12:40 pm

Kazozz

hi all :)

12:41 pm

bethn

hi kaz

12:41 pm

Uniquity

One of her friends was actually abusive to animals...they would be taken away, but she was always allowed to get more. One ofmy 'crusades.' Hey Kaz...welcome to babble's angry hour! :)

12:41 pm

pabtrek

hi Kaz

12:41 pm

stidmama

yes, and really it is the fault of the owners when an animal is badly trained or badly behaved. If you can't keep an animal under control, then you need to keep it in a cage. imho... speaking as the "parent" of a rescued shepherd who is only now starting to trust strange men.

12:41 pm

stidmama

hey Kazozz! join the madness!

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

always so sad to hear of poorly-trained pitbulls....my brother has one + we love that dog.
hate the deed, not the breed!

but alas, any animal that attacks has not been trained properly and shouldnt be around others...

12:42 pm

stidmama

the local vet had a sign up recently... something about how good pet owners are well trained.

12:42 pm

Kazozz

madness? I'm good at that!

12:42 pm

Haz1558

<-------------- you'd be scared of Spangle, wouldn't you?

12:43 pm

Atalante

hugely scared

12:43 pm

Uniquity

My neighbours had the nicest rottweilers (sp?) I have ever seen...but thatis because they were good "owners". Like I said, the former stepma NEVER trained any animals and therefore the animals lived sad half-lives.

12:43 pm

stidmama

I have known a couple very sweet pit bulls -- and other terriers -- and a couple that weren't quite so nice. How they are cared for as new puppies really makes a difference.

12:43 pm

stidmama

{{Haz}} hi there! *kisses spangle*

12:43 pm

Haz1558

It's a pity the cats aren't...

12:43 pm

Haz1558

Hello all!

12:43 pm

Kazozz

hi Haz

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

my brothers dog is a puttbull-rottie mix...
2 of the "scariest" breeds, and shes the LEAST scary dog ive ever met...

12:44 pm

Uniquity

Don't take the animal if you can't take responsibility. It is more than food, shelter, etc. There is health, training, love, attention, encouragement and enthusiasm too.

12:44 pm

stidmama

well I suppose I ought to actually try this one. How bad is it?

12:44 pm

Atalante

i know some *gorgeous* pit bulls, but they are well trained and socialised

12:44 pm

Haz1558

It's a nice grid, stid.

12:45 pm

stidmama

and then of course there's hobbit... poor thing. if only her owners loved her...

12:45 pm

stidmama

okay, I shall wade in a bit.

12:45 pm

Atalante

yes, poor unloved dog

12:45 pm

Haz1558

I pray for that dog every night (Hobbit).

12:46 pm

Atalante

she's beaten daily

12:46 pm

stidmama

rofl...

12:46 pm

Uniquity

Sometimes, at night, I hear Hobbit's wails of sorrow.

12:46 pm

Haz1558

No food to speak of.

12:46 pm

Haz1558

Never walked.

12:46 pm

Haz1558

No treats.

12:47 pm

stidmama

and never, ever, ever bathed... *p.u.*

12:47 pm

DR1965

The poor beast

12:47 pm

Haz1558

Bathed? She wouldn't know what a bath was.

12:47 pm

Uniquity

Never groomed or taken to the vet for unmentionable squeezing...

12:47 pm

Atalante

she *does* stink at the moment. she rolled in dead crabs

12:47 pm

stidmama

*gasp* you STILL haven't washed her? you've been home for DAYS!!!!!

12:48 pm

Haz1558

Oh good! Uniquity has brought up glands without any prompting.

12:48 pm

stidmama

I don't think shepherds have glands... at least in the vet vists they haven't mentioned them.

12:48 pm

Atalante

this is new dead crabs from the beach today

12:48 pm

stidmama

Labs, on the other hand.... they have GLANDS!

12:48 pm

Uniquity

Glandless!

12:49 pm

Haz1558

Maybe they've had bottom transplants, stid?

12:49 pm

stidmama

oh good -- fresh crab scent! the best kind (can we assume hobbit is not on a "low-crab" diet?)

12:49 pm

Uniquity

I become more and more convinced every day that I am *not* much of a dog person...unless it is a true mutt.

12:49 pm

stidmama

I could use a bottom transplant, about six sizes smaller...

12:49 pm

Atalante

low-carb or low-crab LOL she's certainly on a diet

12:49 pm

DR1965

LOL Stid!

12:49 pm

stidmama

I am not a "breed" person myself, nor a small dog person, but our dogs needed homes and I am a sucker...

12:50 pm

EvaNadine

i love dogs, but im not up for the responsibility....
cats are much more my speed...heh...

12:50 pm

sprite

back for the very last few

12:50 pm

Haz1558

Maybe you could donate your excess posterior to those who need implants elsewhere?

12:50 pm

Uniquity

I've always wanted to do dog training though, for guide dogs and "emotional rescue" dogs. Know that they would domore good than me, lol.

12:50 pm

stidmama

that would be a good solution, haz!

12:50 pm

stidmama

{{{{{{{{SPRITELY}}}}}}}}

12:51 pm

sprite

stiddie!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hug*

12:51 pm

Haz1558

I'd sign up for it, provided there's no pain involved.

12:51 pm

Atalante

me too, uni

12:51 pm

Haz1558

There goes this year's supply of exclamation marks and brackets.

12:52 pm

stidmama

well, sometimes, haz, one simply MUST emote!

12:52 pm

Atalante

1111!!!!1!!1!

12:52 pm

sprite

nah, I have more where these came from, Haz

12:52 pm

Haz1558

Oh I know. It must be the thrifty Ballymena woman coming out in me.

12:53 pm

Haz1558

Goodness. There was me thinking Atalante had just discovered the 11 and was excited.

12:53 pm

sprite

would you object to me hugging stid enthusiastically in real life?

12:53 pm

Atalante

got that *hours* ago

12:54 pm

Uniquity

I was about to applaud her for her sparse use of punctuation just a few moments ago...but she ruined it.

12:54 pm

sprite

well, am glad to see you, stiddie. If I don't sound like it, fill in some !s ;)

12:55 pm

stidmama

I am very glad to see you too sprite. Was thinking about you the other day and wondring if spring ever arrived in holland?

12:56 pm

sprite

we have had some very ni4 days. But we are back to the eternal autumn again

12:56 pm

stidmama

no matter how many times I type "nine" it just doesn't go.

12:56 pm

sprite

but the hawaiian goose makes up for it

12:56 pm

stidmama

yes, it is cold here today also. I got the car's old changed (and the mouse nest out of the fan) and had to pull a blanket out while I waited!

12:57 pm

stidmama

I am always happy to see poultry in the grid

12:57 pm

Atalante

awww mouse nest!

12:58 pm

Atalante

and fish. I hate a grid where there's no (real) fish

12:58 pm

stidmama

well, no mouse in it, just about three cups of mowed grass neatly stuffed around 3/4 of the car fan... made it rattle something awful!

12:59 pm

Atalante

I bet!!

12:59 pm

Atalante

there is a little shark in the grid today

12:59 pm

stidmama

yes, but... little shark??? *looks closer* all we have around here are dogfish and nurse sharks...

1:00 pm

sprite

a grid without a fish is like a hug without a squeeze (thanks jilli for that wonderful phrase)

1:00 pm

Atalante

but you probably have it as something else. its a to4/5

1:01 pm

sprite

Ata, will send you an email, won't beg for chats anymore :)
Am very interested in the state of book/story corrections.

1:01 pm

stidmama

hm. well I do have a TO 4/5... *runs off to look at definition*

1:02 pm

stidmama

ah, no wonder I didn't know it was a shark: "Galeorhinus galeus" is a european critter!

1:02 pm

Atalante

i have most of it done :D

1:03 pm

Atalante

its a cutie shark

1:03 pm

stidmama

if one can RE t4, why can't one UN t4?

1:03 pm

sprite

btw, for those present when those little tellytubbies made a pest of themselves: I got an email from MsABS about it. They were NOT directed to this site at all. They had a pic of the grid and had to find 10 words as homework. THey have been taken to task about their behaviour (teacher, principle and a letter to the parents).

1:03 pm

superflippy

Personally, I am miffed that "pooting" is not in the dictionary.

1:03 pm

pabtrek

I just tried that stid

1:04 pm

sprite

and the URL was not on the pic, but they found about it themselves.

1:04 pm

stidmama

thanks sprite! good to know that

1:04 pm

Vicuna

Hello, folks.

1:05 pm

stidmama

kids today are SO smart.

sometimes.

1:05 pm

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna.

1:05 pm

stidmama

hey vi! how's everything back there today?

1:05 pm

Vicuna

Everything's dandy here, as usual. =D
How about you?

1:06 pm

sprite

hiya Vic!

1:06 pm

stidmama

I am well. a bit sleepy, but a nap will take care of that.

1:06 pm

stidmama

I have been carving stamps a little bit, and they get better every time!

1:06 pm

Vicuna

Hello, hello. Words, words, words.

1:07 pm

sprite

MsAbs makes her most sincere apologies, she never meant to make this happen again.

1:07 pm

sprite

oh great, stid! Would love to do that too. Must be so much fun to make stamps!

1:07 pm

Vicuna

Oh, that's great, stidmama. Fun fun! Flowers, mostly?

1:07 pm

stidmama

it is fun, sprite. you would enjoy it, I know.

1:07 pm

sprite

I have learned to love naps. They do me a world of good.

1:07 pm

stidmama

right up until the knife blade slips and the unicorn becomes a mere horse...

1:07 pm

Atalante

hmmm apparently sily wants to help babble today

1:08 pm

Atalante

told you naps are good!

1:08 pm

Vicuna

lol, stidmama. But horses are good, too!

1:08 pm

stidmama

flowers and fruits right now, vi -- I am trying to decide if I want to make a whole bunch of cards and try to sell them at a benefit for the school

1:08 pm

sprite

woot stid. That is something, carving unicorns.

1:09 pm

sprite

I still have 2 of your cards, stid. I save them for very special occasions. People love them!

1:09 pm

stidmama

well, my unicorns tend to look more like rhinos to be honest. But it's fun anyway.

1:09 pm

sprite

yeah, something I learned from you, Ata

1:09 pm

Atalante

am not ignoring you on chat, spritey. still marking this page up, keeping half an eye on babble. i'd rather wait and chat with you with my full attention

1:09 pm

stidmama

what fun, sprite! I am glad you are finding them useful.

1:09 pm

Vicuna

Go for it. I get loads of note card sales, and the aren't too much money up front, comparatively speaking.

1:10 pm

Vicuna

*they aren't too much...

1:10 pm

stidmama

thanks Vi. :-D

1:10 pm

sprite

looking forward to it, Ata

1:10 pm

Vicuna

In fact, lots of people buy them for gifts for teachers, so that might be a natural at a school sale! =D

1:11 pm

sprite

I love beautiful cards. To send, to collect and to receive. It is marvellous to have a choice.

1:11 pm

sprite

good one, Vic!

1:11 pm

stidmama

*facepalm* of course! that would be a good fit. duh...

1:12 pm

sprite

you could even make a flyer/board that suggests them as gifts for teachers, stid :)

1:12 pm

Vicuna

And with the end of the year coming up...

1:12 pm

stidmama

WOW. you gals are THE BEST!

1:12 pm

Vicuna

... and don't forget coaches, music teachers, dance teachers, etc...

1:12 pm

sprite

also, the highest class saying goodbye to the school and teachers for ever...

1:12 pm

stidmama

I think I know what I'll be doing this weekend... (and next) the sale is the 14th.

1:12 pm

stidmama

I should have started this last summer!!!!

1:13 pm

sprite

hehehe stid... well, at least you don't have to be bored these weeks... as if you ever are ;)

1:13 pm

maccafixx

help with the ni 7/28 please

1:13 pm

Vicuna

lol. Well, I "cheat" by reproducing mine by xerox instead of having each one be an actual pr5.

1:14 pm

BzznBea

Break time. Get a few more words before I'm back at what ever it is I am doing.

1:14 pm

stidmama

oh! Vi! *illusions dashed*

1:14 pm

stidmama

hi Bea!

1:14 pm

Atalante

and friends cards for the kids to give each other to last the summer holidays

1:14 pm

Vicuna

ni7/28 - like a French shop where you'd buy the opp of day?

1:14 pm

stidmama

sorry Mac... not there yet.

1:14 pm

stidmama

oh! that was a great clue bi!

1:14 pm

Vicuna

But, see, stidmama, the actual pr5's are limited edition!

1:14 pm

stidmama

or vi!

1:14 pm

sprite

ni7/28 sounds like an 24/7 shop

1:15 pm

Vicuna

If I only make an edition of 10-15, I can't be making more and more cards!

1:15 pm

stidmama

brb tea and dog

1:15 pm

1:16 pm

stidmama

oh! that is a good point, vi! (of course)

1:17 pm

stidmama

1:17 pm

Vicuna

It's hard to squeeze too hard across an ocean!

1:17 pm

sprite

you work late, Kaz! Have a good time at work

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Bye, Kazozz.

1:17 pm

sprite

lol Vic

1:17 pm

stidmama

I could do some limited editions, and some copies, like I do with my painted cards. As long as I am clear which is which, that would be good.

1:18 pm

sprite

indeed so, stid. Also, you could make smaller prints, and have the originals in the original format.

1:18 pm

Vicuna

Sure. People don't mind them being copies, because it's still an original design, and it is still not like anything you'd find in a boring old shop.

1:18 pm

stidmama

well, the stamps are pretty small, actually. except for the trillium I did a couple months ago. Did you see that one sprite?

1:19 pm

sprite

don't think so, stid?

1:19 pm

stidmama

hold on...

1:19 pm

1:21 pm

So 200+ words seems like a decent size but not sure a good amount to tacke at 8ish in the evening?

1:48 pm

Haz1558

I understand, FM. You do know your smile might earn you the PB? (gr4)

1:49 pm

Haz1558

It depends on your mood, FMitch. It's a nice grid but I had to tackle it in stops and starts today.

1:49 pm

FMitch

Oh bum! Oh well as I built the darn thing *giggle*

1:49 pm

It's OK I need to check the Cabana boys are OK whilst it's quiet, they have been sending me emails full of complaints

1:51 pm

Haz1558

Have babblers been too demanding?

1:51 pm

FMitch

Ph HAz, I see you have "seen off" George's girlfriend. It was reported in the Mail today!

1:52 pm

Haz1558

Gosh, I must have missed that - come to think of it, I didn't read the paper too closely.

1:52 pm

FMitch

There are a certain US contingent who are, how shall we say, over exuberant when it comes to the Cabana Boys :)
