2:06 am

VolleymomDee

2:06 am

jillibus

2:06 am

rururocks

I am not cheap though kiwi...lol

2:06 am

flosey

2:06 am

GroovyKiwi

i dont mind ruru

2:07 am

sprite

2:07 am

GroovyKiwi

yeah you told us before flosey and im so jealous lolol

2:07 am

rururocks

crap I do both how did I lose out

2:07 am

sprite

yeah, I know, jilli, thanks. She could never love me. I learned that in the end, she is the one that missed out on most because of that.

2:07 am

GroovyKiwi

you married someone you love ruru and when you love them u do anything

2:08 am

rururocks

I hear that sprite on both comments

2:08 am

jillibus

I can't imagine her not loving you, sprite!

2:08 am

sprite

:) ruru!

2:09 am

rururocks

some mothers just don't get there jilli

2:09 am

sprite

it is the sad truth, jilli. If I forget I am the child and I remember I am the adult now, I can see it is because she does not love herself at all.

2:10 am

jillibus

strange

2:10 am

AlleyElle

From each as they are able.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

my hubbie's mom is similar sprite, but she acts like she loves her grandchildren... but she was nasty to her two sons... I still haven't figured that out yet

2:11 am

rururocks

oh my god...that is me

2:11 am

sprite

same he4, Dee. She is an ok grandmother to our kids. Weird, huh.

2:11 am

rururocks

I was a very rebelious kid though..

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

it makes it tough for me to be around her

2:12 am

sprite

I wasn't, I was too scared to put one toe out of line. But I was a very bitter teenager.

2:12 am

GroovyKiwi

i was the goody little two shoes when i was growing up the bane of my younger sisters who were always told "why cant you be like Joanna" lol

2:12 am

sprite

lol Kiwi :) You are rebelling nicely now, though!

2:13 am

jillibus

I used to get bad marks for "Conduct" at school

2:13 am

GroovyKiwi

i tell ya as soon as i new what it was really like in the big wide world outside of my mothers rule i loved it lol

2:13 am

rururocks

sounds to me like you traded in those goody two shoes for some kick ass boots baby

2:13 am

Andree

hi everyone

2:14 am

sprite

Dee: yes, I can relate to that. I have tried for decades, and finally had to decide that the only way it would work was to tell my mother I would accept her in my life as the grandmother of my children, as long as she doesn't hurt them. And only as that... not as my mother.

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

ohhhhh too true ruru i have 16 pairs of them in the wardrobe lol

2:14 am

jillibus

LOL ruru!

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve andree hugs happy babbling

2:14 am

rururocks

I haven't spoken to my mother for almost thirty years

2:14 am

sprite

oh jilli, I bet :D You must have had such a beautiful free spirit, for all your life!

2:14 am

sprite

hi Andree!

2:15 am

AlleyElle

wow Jili. Your a strong lady. Kudos

2:15 am

jillibus

Who, me?

2:15 am

sprite

sometimes that is the only way, ruru. *hugs* to you, for being who you are.

2:15 am

AlleyElle

yes. I think so

2:15 am

sprite

yup jilli, you

2:16 am

rururocks

what is 'conduct' anyway ... just a way to retrain the kids...lol

2:16 am

Andree

just looking at chat and remember when my daughters friend married about 10 years ago and he was to cook and she was to clean as they both have very busy jobs, he came home early one day and found a strange woman in the house, who are you ? he says, answer THE CLEANER, I thought it was hilarious

2:16 am

jillibus

I didn't mean to break rules, honest!

2:16 am

sprite

roflol Andree!

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

unfortunately my hubby still tries to please her; when I see her "pulling his strings" (and he lets her) it literally breaks my heart... I have had to stay silent to keep peace

2:17 am

sprite

oh bah, Dee :( That is indeed tough.

2:17 am

sprite

that is what I meant, jilli... Free spirit. Not rebellious spirit.

2:18 am

rururocks

There is nothing wrong with breaking a few rules jilli.. I call it character building... and it always sounds to me like you have a lot of character

2:18 am

sprite

oh, found he7

2:18 am

jillibus

my mother thought I was rebellious

2:19 am

sprite

*seconds ruru fully on that*

2:20 am

sprite

ruru: a friend of mine who knew immensely much about the theory of raising kids, told me that good parents, even while correcting their kid's behaviour, are secretly proud of their power and courage to rebel. And that kids feel that, on a subconscious level.
I have the feeling it is true.

2:20 am

rururocks

finally found that last th7

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

well it took you long enough lol

2:21 am

rururocks

not if you had the crap beaten out of you

2:21 am

flosey

I agree sprite - my mother tended to use guilt - I felt that I couldn't do anything to hurt her

2:21 am

jillibus

is the 3rd th7 related to the other 2?

2:22 am

GroovyKiwi

my mum i think owns the crown for the greatest puller of guilt trips on the planet - i love her dearly but she loves to pull strings

2:22 am

sprite

ruru: I said GOOD parents. Not the ones that cannot cope or cannot care!

2:22 am

sprite

yes jilli. The place word + an ending. But this one goes up and not down.

2:22 am

GroovyKiwi

there are four all together jilli three all start with the same th 5

2:22 am

GroovyKiwi

and the fourth is the movie house

2:23 am

jillibus

ah -- got it -- ty sprite!

2:23 am

rururocks

that is the thing you only get one shot at parents most of the time... I didn't luck out.. but it hasn't ruined my life..

2:24 am

flosey

because you didn't allow it to ruru

2:24 am

jillibus

thanks kiwi!

2:24 am

rururocks

I am really slowing down here at 71 to go

2:24 am

jillibus

well said, flosey

2:24 am

GroovyKiwi

:)

2:24 am

sprite

guilt is a lousy thing to use. I remember my mother always threatening to go kill herself bu jumping under a train if I didn't adapt to her weird expectations. And me, at 16, finally gathering enough courage to tell her to go do it, and if she wanted me to look up a nice train in the time table. It was ugly, but man, it was liberating too.

2:24 am

rururocks

had a close call though flosey

2:25 am

flosey

lol sprite - my mother use to threaten to leave us

2:25 am

flosey

glad you made it ruru

2:25 am

sprite

ruru, I agree, you did not let it. You made yourself into a lovely person. Yay for you.

2:26 am

sprite

argh, flosey, that is ugly too.

2:26 am

rururocks

thank you

2:26 am

sprite

*on a side note: grrrrrr at inia and rodeo*

2:26 am

GroovyKiwi

mine was always behave be good or else your horse goes to the knackers yard

2:27 am

GroovyKiwi

or be good behave dont get pregant and we will buy you what you want for your 21st lol

2:27 am

jillibus

oh dear, kiwi!

2:27 am

sprite

sh*t, bad one as well, Kiwi!

2:27 am

rururocks

my mom used to threaten she would give us to people in the grocery store

2:27 am

Andree

my mother did not sspeak to me and 2 of my sisters for 10 years and would not allow my little sister to talk to us[ she is 17 years younger than I] the day my mother died my sister came straight to me, it was one of the happiest days of my life

2:28 am

rururocks

that is sweet (but very cruel of your mom)

2:28 am

jillibus

what a bunch of horrible mothers!

2:28 am

flosey

ah what a happy day that turned out to be Andree

2:28 am

GroovyKiwi

i have two half sisters and a half brother that i havent seen or heard from for the last 20 years because my step mother threatened them that she would kill my dad (he had divorced her by then)

2:28 am

sprite

man, don't you hate threats like that. It is so sick. We tell our kids, if they are really being a pest, that if they don't start behaving, they cannot have computer time or telly time for x days. And that is not a threat, but a real promise, lol.

2:29 am

sprite

awww Andree... how sad and how terrible of your mother. But wonderful how you and your sister have managed to stay connected.

2:29 am

rururocks

I sent a Christmas card once to them and it read:
"This Christmas is is especially important to be nice to your kids (inside: Because they get to choose the nursing home!!"

2:30 am

sprite

roflol ruru!!!!

2:30 am

GroovyKiwi

i like that ruru

2:30 am

Andree

my mother kept her in line with threats of suicide and intimidation, now looking back as she is nearly 50 she cannot believe she is the same person who yielded to these threats

2:30 am

rururocks

I never got a Xmas card from them again after that ..imagine that

2:30 am

flosey

good one ruru

2:31 am

sprite

that is so puzzling, ruru! Imagine!

2:31 am

sprite

she isn't, Andree. She was a kid back then, and dependent. It is great she learned to be different later on.

2:31 am

Andree

ha ha ruru, the true meaning of " you are off the christmas card list"

2:33 am

jillibus

warning -- do not use the word for male parent here or you'll be stuck into the PB

2:33 am

sprite

my father sent me a Xmas card 2 years ago, out of the blue. With only his name on it. After 10 years of utter silence. I immediately filed it carefully into the round archive.

2:33 am

Andree

no sprite she was a married woman with 3 kids of her own, that is why she looks back and cannot believe she allowed it to happen

2:33 am

GroovyKiwi

uh ho spritey

2:34 am

jillibus

PB, sprite!

2:34 am

Andree

the day my mother died , i met my 3 nieces for the first time and my sisters husband, my mother was a monster

2:34 am

sprite

*apologises for sin bin behaviour, duly trodding over th5*

2:34 am

jillibus

I suppose everyone has the fa8?

2:35 am

sprite

2:36 am

I know how long it can take to break free... am still learning to NOT be scared, to NOT adapt to the point where I get invisible in the hope people will let me live, etc. But I am learning. Definitely.

2:38 am

3:03 am

sprite

I haven't been on for 2 days, indeed. Was very stressed, very panicky and with way too much to do. Took some time to get back under control. Am ok now.

3:03 am

Lol Lorie

3:03 am

herinfernallady

Sprite Lickety has been on

3:04 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Sorry to hear that sprite - hope all is really well now

jillibus

sprite, I wondered where you were -- assumed you just came on after I went to bed

3:05 am

sprite

thanks lady and Andree. She will love the visit, Andree, but indeed will have to wait until she is well enough. It is very tough to really kill bone pain. And pain eats away energy faster than anything.

3:06 am

herinfernallady

I am so not with it

3:07 am

sprite

yeah, I am ok now. No obligations other than my kids today, hubby is out camping. I have peace and quiet to myself now for several hours today. That is usually enough to get me out of a series of panic attacks and being overstressed. THanks for caring :D

3:07 am

herinfernallady

I have had my brain pureed so i am sorry if i make little sense

3:07 am

sprite

lyn: you were right, that insulting fa7 is another one than I had. As usually, I s*ck at compounds :)

yup, 228 is biggish. But it is not a very difficult grid today, lots of normal words.

Lorrie_in_SA

Take care, sprite - have a good one! :)

4:05 am

acoom

what do the tile stats mean?

4:07 am

Haz1558

The tile stats mirror the grid above. For instance, in the top F it says 0/17 - it means that there are 17 word beginning with f coming from that tile.

4:07 am

acoom

ah i see

4:08 am

Haz1558

As you fill in words, you will see the numbers changing, so if you get 5 f words, it will change to 5/17. If you get all the words, the tile turns grey.

4:08 am

Haz1558

It's a means of keeping track of your progress (or lack of it)

4:08 am

lynxxx

Sorry AC, deep in grid but Haz is much better at explaining anyway. Haz acoom is a friend. How are you going AC

4:09 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx, and welcome ac oom.

I'm fine thanks Lyn. Not like I needed another distraction at work but I can see this getting addictive....

G'd morning pink! ***hugs***

We'll not call you fa7/48 unless you really struggle, Lori.

4:14 am

Haz!

4:14 am

LoriP

After yesterday's cheering, er, I mean abuse, I find myself very fragile....

4:14 am

Haz1558

It wasn't abuse, Lori, it was positive encouragement.

4:15 am

Haz1558

You just have to look behind the abuse to see the pure motives.

4:15 am

LoriP

I blame the insomnia for my undue sensitivity...

4:15 am

grannyrose

hey everyone. i'm walking again.well at least i'm upright with the aid of crutches and a camwalker.

4:15 am

Haz1558

I must look at your icon.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Hello grannyrose.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Lori, it occurs that those flying monkeys would be a positive asset at shingling, don't you think?

4:16 am

lynxxx

Hi Rose..what!...have you been out of action all this time?

4:17 am

grannyrose

well, i had surgery to reattach my tendon in my left ankle. was wheelchair bound for 3 weeks...

4:18 am

LoriP

G'd morning granny, that sounds decidedly un-fun. All the best to ya' and a successful recovery!

4:18 am

LoriP

***flying monkeys are better than grounded monkeys***

4:18 am

grannyrose

felt pretty sore and sorry for myself for a while. that's why i haven't been in the chat.

4:19 am

lynxxx

Oh, I had missed that ... sounds awfully painful...how long b4 you are fully recovered

4:19 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Morning Lori! :)

4:19 am

grannyrose

lol, how long's a piece of string?

4:20 am

hillary

was it your achilles granny?

4:21 am

grannyrose

i have to wait until the bone has grown over the screw!!! and no hillary, it was the tibialis posterior, the tendon which holds your arch up.

4:21 am

hillary

that sounds awful

4:22 am

grannyrose

but i's much better now. oral morphine is a wonderful thing! : )

4:24 am

Haz1558

(Makes note to disregard any of grannyrose's ravings)

4:24 am

grannyrose

with cougars of course. fortunately i'm not driving anywhere at the moment.besides, the morphine is mainly for at night. i take paracetamol during the day now.

4:25 am

grannyrose

hey, i'm not raving.....yet

4:25 am

hillary

where do the cougars come in?

4:25 am

Haz1558

You should try it during the day, granny, just to see if it has an effect on your word-finding. We could start up a black market trade...

4:26 am

lynxxx

Will make a note to avoid eastern suburbs and especially crutch waving female bikers anyway I think

4:26 am

LoriP

So granny, what 'yer saying, is that skateboarding is not an option for awhile? :-)

4:27 am

grannyrose

no way haz, it's too hard to get. besides, beloved and i are going to fiji in 4 weeks, need to have some left, just in case.

4:27 am

Haz1558

I try to avoid crutch wavers of any kind. Call me a wimp, but there you go.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Fiji? Are you sure that's wise in your condition? Should you not pass the tickets to someone able-bodied?

4:28 am

lynxxx

me me me

4:28 am

Haz1558

Think what you'll do to the metal detectors in the airport!

4:28 am

grannyrose

rofl,lyn, actually i will be back on the bike by next weekend, so WATCH OUT!!!!

4:28 am

LoriP

I'd be willing to fill in for you granny.

4:29 am

grannyrose

oh no you don't. i'm going, even if i have to crawl onto the plane...

4:29 am

Haz1558

Aren't babblers great? So sacrificial of time and self.

4:29 am

LoriP

***between us lynx, I figure we could take her*** :-)

4:29 am

grannyrose

i've really missed you guys and dolls....

4:30 am

Haz1558

If you sling your crutches on your back some way, I suppose it's possible.

4:30 am

hillary

is that a motorbike or a pushbike gran?

4:30 am

grannyrose

hillary, a suzuki boulevard ( cruiser )

4:31 am

Haz1558

And are you taking the bike to FIji?

4:31 am

hillary

how did you injure your tendon?

4:31 am

grannyrose

rofl, would need a very long snorkel to do that

4:32 am

Haz1558

And is this an edition of 20 questions?

4:33 am

LoriP

***I'll take potpourri for $2,000 please Alex.***

4:33 am

Haz1558

You could stow it in the plane. That would make a great entrance to Fiji, you riding the bike off the plane.

4:34 am

grannyrose

hillary, it was just one of those days from hell at work. 7 1/2 hours into a 10 hour shift, with no break. had already stepped onto my right foot, went to step onto my left, felt a snap and pain ++++. took dr's 13 months to decide something was wrong, and not my head....

4:34 am

lynxxx

I'm not sure, I think they have cracked down on hand luggage a bit

4:34 am

grannyrose

but lyn, i could wear it around my neck, like a sort of talisman.

4:35 am

hillary

that's horrific

4:35 am

Haz1558

All she needs is a screwdriver, lynxxx. Bikers take their machines apart all the time. My uncle used to keep his in the front room in various stages of repair.

4:35 am

lynxxx

hooray for Workcare! I assume they are looking after you

4:35 am

Haz1558

He was the one viewed with horror by the rest of the houseproud family.

4:35 am

jazflyn

hey lynx and grannyr, scuse me butting in... do either of u know where u can buy robocombs to fight kiddies' headlice?

4:36 am

lynxxx

probably at a late night chemist Jaz

4:36 am

grannyrose

very well, thank-you. and jaz, any good pharmacy has them. and use vinega to help dissolve the glue on the eggs, and they should comb out easy peasy

4:37 am

jazflyn

cool, thanks for the handy hint; i've never seen such an infestation - so much biomass on such a tiny noggin!

4:38 am

lynxxx

not fun dealing with it either - good luck

4:39 am

grannyrose

be back soon, beloved has dinner ready..jaz, i was pediculosis nurse for the local council, believe you me, i've seen some horrific things in kids hair.

4:39 am

grannyrose

kiss, kiss, hug, hug

4:39 am

jazflyn

what else can kids get in their hair? these lice are as big as field mice

4:40 am

LoriP

Take care granny!

4:40 am

Haz1558

Anybody else scratching?

4:40 am

grannyrose

i saw one poor kid with crabs in her hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows

4:40 am

jazflyn

lol, it does have that affect, doesn't it, haz

4:41 am

Haz1558

I seriously have started to feel itchy!

4:41 am

LoriP

I'm having flashbacks. Lice are the reason #4 got his first hair cut. I'm still bitter

4:41 am

hillary

actually if you keep the fine-combing up to them religiously every day for 21 days (the breeding cycle) you clear the lice just as effectively as using electric combs or chemicals.

4:41 am

jazflyn

i'm guessing you don't mean spanner crabs grannr

4:41 am

Haz1558

And I can't blame any sewing words either.

4:41 am

hillary

it's just tedious doing it day after day

4:42 am

jazflyn

yeah, i don't think i'm up for it hillary, think i'll zap em instead

4:42 am

hillary

well that's more satisfying, too

4:42 am

jazflyn

the poor little sausage is only 3 and it takes everything out of her to sit still and not fight me and my nit creams

4:43 am

Haz1558

The smell of the stuff should be enough to kill them, wouldn't you think?

4:43 am

shoelessdwarf

profuse amounts of conditioner is a cheap effective way to do it

4:43 am

hillary

we went through years of head lice, you just get on top of them and they get re-infested by their friends... the good news is that they do actually grow out of it

4:43 am

acoom

i'd better be off and do some work. by Lyn and everyone

4:43 am

jazflyn

yeah i've done the conditioner thing, the fine comb thing and the expensive toxic chemical bomb thing

4:44 am

jazflyn

now i'm going to try electricity!

4:44 am

Haz1558

Bye ac - have a good day and we'll maybe see you again?

4:44 am

LoriP

Later acoom

4:44 am

lynxxx

bye AC

4:44 am

acoom

you may. what time does the game end?

4:45 am

lynxxx

clicks over each 24 hours AC, use the clock on here

4:45 am

shoelessdwarf

reallly cheap conditioner, where you can use a whole bottle on one head, leave it on for a while, like half an hour, then comb out with nit comb. much easier to use comb, not bad for the hair, and works, i promise, you justdrown the little guys out, and it detatches the eggs, cause its stupily large amounts of conditioner.

4:45 am

Haz1558

This one has another 19 hours to run.

4:45 am

shoelessdwarf

much less upsetting for kids too

4:45 am

acoom

ah i see it. so that is about 7am tomorrow morning for me...

4:46 am

jazflyn

thanks for the nit-busting tips, babblers, i'm off to the chemist, feel free to return to fiji and motorbikes

4:46 am

hillary

yes we found that too shoeless, the conditioner makes it easier to get the fine comb through and the eggs and critters just slide off.

4:46 am

LoriP

Later jaz

4:46 am

hillary

can anyone clue the si 6? life's too short

4:47 am

lynxxx

***slow going, putting on my serious face, and diving in studiously***

5:21 am

jazflyn

wow, this grid's like wading thigh deep through treacle

5:24 am

kje

well - that is not encouraging

5:25 am

kje

debating whether to start it and thinking it is too early in the morning for treacle

5:25 am

jazflyn

it's never too early for thigh-high treacle :)

5:25 am

Haz1558

I'm back, refreshed after a quick walk with the dog. Dynamite ready for the reluctant words.

5:27 am

shoelessdwarf

i only ever get about 30 words anyway, so i'm not too bothered by slow going

5:27 am

kje

I suspect this is one of those misery loves company situations and will step back for a bit...

5:27 am

jazflyn

that's the spirit shoe

5:28 am

jazflyn

besides, treacle's lovely

5:28 am

Haz1558

We'll put you in the 'welcome individual words warmly' category, shoeless.

5:29 am

shoelessdwarf

i like the company, and the game of finding a word or two rather than thinking i have to find them all.

5:29 am

jazflyn

with u all the way, shoe

5:30 am

Haz1558

It's a nice balance, shoeless.

5:30 am

shoelessdwarf

doesn't mean i'm not intensely impressed when others complete though. wooo for fireworks!

5:31 am

shoelessdwarf

plus i get to learn shiny new words to boost my vocab, which is nice. there's one i can use already

5:33 am

Haz1558

The problems come when some of the more unusual words occur and you can't see any way of incorporating them into conversation. But you're right, it's a fun way of learning.

5:34 am

jazflyn

i got to use "natatoria" at a home birth recently - i was pretty thrilled with that. the birthing mother strangely didn''t seem all that fascinated

5:35 am

Haz1558

Maybe you need to choose your moments.

5:35 am

shoelessdwarf

the TH5/12 today is a nice one. it sounds lovely. I think i like the sound and rhythm of words perhaps more than their meanings or proper usage. Like i use 'shiny' anywhere i can, to generally mean happy or good. its such an onomatopoeic word.

5:36 am

jazflyn

yes, that seemed to be what she thought too ;)

5:36 am

Haz1558

But which th5/12?

5:37 am

shoelessdwarf

ah, um, i don't have the stats so cant give any more info. its an old english word. all about classes.

5:37 am

if i may intervene, easy as 1,2

Haz1558

Excuse my ignorance, but what's a bottlebrushed tail?

6:01 am

carleekat

when a cat gets all ticked off...they arch their back..and poof out their tail like a bottlebrush

6:01 am

Atalante

6:09 am

bichon

I'm stumped

6:09 am

periwinkle

I forgot what an anagram is :(

6:09 am

Haz1558

te5/10 and ti5/10

6:09 am

hillary

there's also an african nation which i'm sure is a proper noun.

6:09 am

Haz1558

They both use the same letters, peri.

6:10 am

Haz1558

The African nation is also its currency which is why it's accepted.

6:10 am

periwinkle

ok, thanks Haz, have them both then

6:10 am

hillary

can anyone clue the last tr5/10?

6:10 am

Hello Scrabbler. What a shame, and it's a decent size of grid as well.

6:28 am

6:29 am

i can see this ole keyboard is going to have to be peplaced soon:/

6:29 am

carleekat

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes, lex, I am not a morning person.

6:29 am

carleekat

i didn't babble for a week after that one

6:30 am

crosshair

535..whew!

6:30 am

Atalante

there was a 600+ one once

6:30 am

hillary

would anyone like to clue the first fo 5?

6:31 am

Scrabbler

I wasn't here for that one, Atalante. That would take the full 24 hrs to complete.

6:31 am

lexleeanne

WOW - 500 to 600's

6:31 am

Haz1558

fo5 - it's a type of wind

6:31 am

Atalante

the 600+ one was a loooooong time ago. before you lot found babble :P

6:31 am

Haz1558

To an enemy of three, add a female bird, minus a vowel (fo5)

6:32 am

Haz1558

The fo4/8 after it loses the vowel.

6:32 am

carleekat

yummmmrice pudding for breakfast

6:32 am

ewww

6:32 am

SamanthaJoy

Sounds good to me!

6:32 am

6:33 am

carleekat

Scrabbler

Please send some by courier, Carlee.

6:34 am

carleekat

6:34 am

lexleeanne

enemy + female chicken - last vowel

LoriP

6:34 am

Atalante

some ppl like lawyer1 could finish anything. quickly.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

With 25 on my word list I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day everyone.

6:34 am

lynxxx

fo4.28 is like the boys name, add another vowel in the middle for the 5

6:34 am

carleekat

byebye scrabs...

6:34 am

Haz1558

The enemy is three letters, a female bird (as in pea***) is three, but take out the vowel.

6:35 am

LoriP

Have a good one Scrabbler.

6:46 am

carleekat

ok..well...jimmy then

6:47 am

Haz1558

He likes women with pleasant faces, Ata. The fact that she has legs to her armpits is a bonus.

6:47 am

lynxxx

a vet saying a pleasant face sounds like he is describing a cow

6:47 am

Atalante

just a little one

6:47 am

6:50 am

hillary

there's john stuart mill

6:50 am

Haz1558

All this from a simple clue....

6:50 am

lexleeanne

not a rod stewart fan

6:50 am

carleekat

sheesh I think I shoul dhave got out the purple crayon and skipped rene simard

6:50 am

Atalante

so you do know the singer, carlee :P

6:50 am

lexleeanne

which stewart did the clue belong to?

6:50 am

hillary

i'm not either actually... someone who kept going far too long

6:50 am

Haz1558

And John Mills and Hayley Mills.

6:51 am

hillary

and the mill on the floss

6:51 am

Haz1558

or4 - o plus Mr Stewart rearranged.

6:51 am

hillary

and the dark, satanic mills

6:51 am

Haz1558

Now sit back for the Groundhog Day.....

6:51 am

lexleeanne

his music is okay - just don't want to have to look at him

6:51 am

hillary

or the miller's tale

6:51 am

jean1953

lol

6:51 am

Haz1558

Flossing teeth is very important.

6:51 am

Anniebrook

It started with Haz who was cluing or4/5...and we cannot blame FM for this

6:51 am

carleekat

ok... hillary..am NOT going to elaborate on the mental image that just went through my head

6:51 am

Haz1558

Mills and Boon.

6:51 am

Atalante

we can always blame FM

6:52 am

hillary

what the miller flossing his teeth? perhaps not

6:52 am

lynxxx

I have probably told you b4, but I despise R Stewart and at my fa6.30s funeral the celebrant selected R Stewarts "We Are Sailing" (my fa6.30 sailed) - I was appalled! (and certainly not consulted beforehand)

6:52 am

Haz1558

Maybe that's where Mr Stewart goes wrong? Not enough flossing of the teeth.

6:52 am

hillary

celebrants have no business choosing funeral music

6:53 am

Haz1558

I'm not surprised you were appalled, lynxxx.

6:53 am

Haz1558

So, do we clue Mr Stewart as 'the singer lynxxx despises'?

6:53 am

Atalante

at least it wasn't Peter Andre

6:54 am

Haz1558

Is it true he and Mr Stewart are going to collaborate on the Great Australian songbook?

6:54 am

Atalante

I think so, Haz-in-the-grid

6:54 am

Atalante

with ROlf Harris

6:54 am

Haz1558

With contributions from Rolf Harris?

6:54 am

hillary

that'll be a short book

6:55 am

Haz1558

It'll be a singing thing, hillary.

6:55 am

lynxxx

BBS late dinner

6:55 am

hillary

now rolf HAS been in the grid before

6:55 am

Haz1558

And Olivia Newton John - she should be in it as well.

Haz1558

6:56 am

6:56 am

hillary

for saying he went to school with my mother-in-law

6:56 am

carleekat

later lynxxx

6:56 am

Haz1558

Rolf gets clued as either the teenage love interest in SOM or the Antipodean artist, depending on your cultural background.

6:56 am

hillary

bye lynxx

6:57 am

Atalante

SOM?

6:57 am

Haz1558

Sound of Music.

6:57 am

carleekat

hillary

lol !

6:58 am

carleekat

I was going to say mr nader..with a british accent :p

6:59 am

hillary

no, they say "Raiph"

6:59 am

carleekat

then..austrian accent?

6:59 am

hillary

also an anagram of text / MSN talk for extreme mirth

7:00 am

Haz1558

But then not everybody would know Mr Nader.

7:00 am

Atalante

thats a good one, hillary

7:01 am

acoom

please can you explain the numbering? e.g. what does zi4,9 mean? something to do with the number of letters I assume...

7:01 am

hillary

i only know this because i have teenagers

7:01 am

Haz1558

zi4/9 - means a word beginning with zi, it has 4 letters and it yields 9 points.

7:02 am

hillary

acoom: the first number is the number of letters in the word, the second is the point score when you add up the numbers on the tiles.... multiplying by 1 for a 4-letter word, 2 for a 5-letter word and so on

7:02 am

Subu

Me too, Haz. I'm keeping a copy in my "snappy come-back" file though, for future reference.

8:31 am

Marmar

Haz, your icon always makes me smile too, I swear that beautfiul hound is laughing!

8:32 am

The only problem with the snappy come-back file is, it comes after the "awkward silence" file and the "pregnant pause" file.

8:32 am

Atalante

she does :) she's a happy glittery one

8:33 am

Haz1558

She has a grin on her face because that photo was taken on a nice day after a great run around.

Lindrickway

the legal system aussie!

Haz1558

Is it not a British divorce, though?

9:06 am

Lindrickway

not sure if it is Canada or UK

9:06 am

Aussieme

Oh Lindy...... the legal system wants their necks wringing !!

9:06 am

Haz1558

In which case there'll be some legal technicality that somebody has overlooked and it will be granted eventually.

9:07 am

Lindrickway

well hubby is in UK, Kate is in Canada, not sure which county has refused it!!

9:07 am

Aussieme

ok **holds nose and dives into the grid**

9:07 am

9:29 am

bichon

The best diet sodas are those made with Splenda

9:29 am

herinfernallady

Best wishes Lind

9:29 am

Aussieme

9:31 am

Atalante

field as well? wow, that's an achievement and a half!!

9:31 am

lexleeanne

GO Lindy - tell him you are not ready for servitude!

9:31 am

Lizsark

I know - and more ... as a pup the people who bought him off his breeder abandoned him and she found him on the streets and took him back and started to show him...

9:31 am

Madi95

trust me herin, we have too many sodas here anyway.

9:31 am

dcseain

i've always really liked RC and Diet Rite. )

9:32 am

bichon

dc, I don't think they sell it here. Is it good?

9:32 am

bichon

I'm a Splenda addict

9:32 am

Aussieme

did anyone see my last post ??

9:32 am

Madi95

I love RC.

9:32 am

herinfernallady

I did see that Aussie and i did have a general gab to LIckety tonight

9:32 am

Atalante

wow. how could people do that though? Why not just take him back to the breeder!

9:32 am

dcseain

i like it a lot, bichon, and it's readily available here.

9:33 am

Lizsark

I dont know. Just lucky she found him. I met her at Crufts a couple of years ago and she told me the story

9:33 am

bichon

If I ever get back to DC, dc

9:33 am

Aussieme

Aussieme

9:35 am

Lizsark

9:35 am

sadie52

9:35 am

Madi95

9:35 am

herinfernallady

He looks so sad in his bucket head and leg in plaster pic

9:36 am

Lizsark

LOL Ata - no not his fault. He is allergic to a particular kind of dust mite and he had a sever reaction when he came into contact with some

9:36 am

herinfernallady

Sadie that is why i don't drink sodas. I just have a stupid binge every now and then. They are very bad for health

9:37 am

herinfernallady

Poor dog liz

herinfernallady

Haz1558

Squeamish? Married to a vet?

9:41 am

Atalante

oh owie! poor babe!

9:41 am

Lizsark

9:41 am

Haz1558

Yes - that looks more like he4 surgery!

9:42 am

herinfernallady

Oh my LIz he looks like the dog of Frankenstein

9:42 am

Atalante

he looks soooooooooo sad!

9:42 am

Haz1558

Did you not know? He specialises in cattle but it's a mixed practice so I get to answer the phone at night and listen to everybody's woes.

9:42 am

Lizsark

BRB

9:42 am

Aussieme

I cant get anyones profile on my screen !

9:43 am

9:44 am

Aussieme

extra tarrif Haz ?

9:44 am

herinfernallady

Thanks ata

9:45 am

Haz1558

A joke, Aussie. It would be another way of raising money for Dr-G if you had to pay extra to see the profiles.

9:46 am

9:46 am

I remember seeing that pic herin.... wasnt Nut trying to get you to smile !!

9:46 am

Lizsark

ah thats better - no 1 son sent off to buy me coke after hearing you all talking about it

9:46 am

herinfernallady

Thank you for your compliment Ata, i really mean it

9:46 am

Aussieme

Ah, I see Haz ! lol...

9:46 am

Aussieme

or, rather, I didnt see Haz !!

9:46 am

Atalante

yay liz :)

9:46 am

herinfernallady

Yes Nut was trying to get me to smile

9:47 am

Haz1558

So, are you seeing profiles yet, Aussie?

9:47 am

Lizsark

LOL Ata...Oscar did look dreadful didn't he

9:47 am

Atalante

he did not look amused, poor boy

9:47 am

herinfernallady

Liz i comented on you photo

9:47 am

Lizsark

Haz - it must be hard for you with night calls

9:48 am

Aussieme

Nope..... I aint Haz ! Every time I try to look at a profile, my screen locks up, and I cant get anything to work.... :0(

9:48 am

Haz1558

I've got used to it, Liz.

9:48 am

dcseain

last tr5/10, pls?

9:48 am

Haz1558

It's not as busy as it was when we were first married, and tends to be worst in springtime. It's not a job, it's a lifestyle.

9:48 am

Lizsark

Herin - thanks - I replied to you :)

9:49 am

herinfernallady

cool liz

9:49 am

Lizsark

I am guilty of phoning my vet at 2am!!!

9:49 am

Atalante

how many of the night calls you get are actually serious and how many are "go away, i'll talk to you in the morning"?

9:49 am

Haz1558

tr5/10 - another consonant on the end of the wooden stuff.

9:49 am

dcseain

oh, that way around. Ty, Haz. :)

9:49 am

Haz1558

Liz, we once had a woman ringing us all through the night to bring us news of every pup being born. It was hard to be enthusiastic at five in the morning.

9:50 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz - my call was when my cat had kittens but I was ringing because of some serious birth defects

9:50 am

dcseain

goodness, haz.

9:50 am

Haz1558

Night calls from farmers are mostly serious, those from the public vary. Some just want advice, others it's a definite emergency and nobody minds that. But being brought to the phone to listen to a dog coughing/wheezing is a strange experience.

9:51 am

Lizsark

gives a whole new meaning to heavy breathing Haz

9:51 am

sadie52

hehe

9:51 am

Haz1558

You're right!

9:51 am

Lizsark

Was your husband at home or did you think it was him lol

9:52 am

Atalante

LOL

9:52 am

Haz1558

He was in the house - the woman brought the dog to the phone and said 'Can you hear the way he's breathing?'

9:52 am

Lizsark

Good job you cant hit people over the phone!

9:53 am

Atalante

the other babbler who is a vet has a wonderful livejournal of all the screwy things she gets to deal with

9:54 am

Lizsark

my son was supposed to buy coke & he came back with an ice cream

9:54 am

Haz1558

It can be fairly hilarious at times. We treasure some of the mistakes farmers make in asking for things. One asked for a sectarian operation for a ewe. The vet didn't know whether it was to be performed with or without balaclavas.

9:54 am

dcseain

LOL haz

9:54 am

dcseain

well, send him out agoin then, liz

9:55 am

Haz1558

Liz - some of the stories are in BabAnon under Animal Magic. I'll not weary people with repeating them here.

9:55 am

Lizsark

LOL I already did DC

9:55 am

Lizsark

I must have a look Haz

9:55 am

dcseain

oh, ty, haz, i'll take a look later.

9:55 am

Atalante

they are wonderful

9:55 am

OrangeCat

good evening everyone

9:55 am

Lizsark

I asked my vet to give Oscar a lobotomy but he told me that Oscar would have to have a brain in the first place to be able to do that

9:56 am

dcseain

hi, orange :)

9:56 am

Lizsark

rent

9:56 am

Haz1558

Vets seem to be born with the tactful gene missing.

9:56 am

Lizsark

9:56 am

dcseain

oh, good one, liz :)

9:56 am

herinfernallady

Yes Liz i would say that about labs

9:56 am

Haz1558

Hello Orange.

9:56 am

Lizsark

*runs to hide in the sin bin*

9:57 am

Lizsark

Nope tact is not his best point Haz. When Scully was really poorly he said "So when am I killing her then"

9:57 am

Haz1558

Oh goodness, that was a bit much!

9:57 am

Atalante

poor scully!

9:58 am

dcseain

my rommie's on deathwatch for his dog.

9:58 am

Lizsark

I yelled at him and walked out

9:58 am

dcseain

Duke's a bit senile, party deaf, cataracts, joint issues, a degree of incontinence....

9:58 am

sadie52

oh that was real nice of him sheesh

9:58 am

Lizsark

oh dear DC :(

9:59 am

dcseain

yes, he's mostly reverted to nearly puppyhood, which is kind of fun, yet sad.

9:59 am

Lizsark

He's a died in the wool farm raised vet Sadie - he doesnt believe in sentiment

9:59 am

herinfernallady

Ok I must depart i think i can sleep now that and im dang cold

10:00 am

Lizsark

sleep well herin

10:00 am

Haz1558

There has to be a balance, though, Liz. You have to be practical, but you're dealing with people and their sensitivities.

10:00 am

herinfernallady

Ill try if himself hasn't hogged the bed

10:01 am

Atalante

is he from Yorkshire?

10:01 am

Lizsark

He has his moments Haz...when my big old tom cat died he gave me two kittens

10:01 am

Lizsark

lol Ata, actually he is!!!!

10:01 am

10:02 am

Lizsark

I dont know Haz LOL! He bred them himself - maybe he just wanted rid of them and saw mug tattooed on my heaad!

Jen34

there are about 5 elementary schools in Nashville that do this -- usually in lower socioeconomic areas

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

grats, lil!

10:39 am

Uniquity

We always got 'peak heat' days off and I loved it. July and August are the months to be free, in my eyes! :)

10:39 am

Atalante

upside Jake!

10:39 am

Jen34

yes, we start with the other schools . . . makes for a long year!

10:39 am

Jen34

next year, though, they're going to lengthen the regular school day, so that we'll get the entire summer off

10:40 am

StephieC

I think I would go crazy with students for that long - well, maybe not, with only 15 kids. I average 25 students.

10:40 am

Uniquity

When is it that school starts in the states, then? August something?

10:40 am

Jen34

what grade do you teach, Stephie?

10:40 am

StephieC

We start August 18 this year.

10:40 am

Each school district and state is different

10:41 am

Jen34

our school starts the second week in august

10:41 am

StephieC

I teach 6th grade math

10:41 am

Sometimes I question it too!

10:42 am

10:43 am

Atalante

I used to have lovely long summer holidays, from end June to mid / late September

10:43 am

10:43 am

Jen34

oh, atalante, that sounds like heaven!

10:44 am

dcseain

10:44 am

Atalante

but then we had saturday school, and hours from 8:30 to 6pm

10:44 am

Jen34

ahh, of course

10:44 am

dcseain

we always hated the long summers after the switech to the 'traditional' school calendar.

10:44 am

Uniquity

Hmm, is that Ata being smug about her superior holidays? :)

10:45 am

Jen34

lol uniquity

10:45 am

I don't know.

10:45 am

10:46 am

Haz1558

Has Ata ever been known to be smug about anything?

10:46 am

Uniquity

Ugh. Our school board has reduced christmas break by a day or two every ytear on the claim we had too many snow days. Then they also stopped giving us snow days basically. When I was in high school, I was very disgruntled. I have Christmas with at least two families.

10:46 am

10:53 am

Jen34

10:54 am

Atalante

10:54 am

dcseain

most certainly can, haz

10:54 am

Atalante

hurshy

12:39 pm

hurshy

"idiot" is an insult but does not MEAN insult.

12:40 pm

Atalante

12:40 pm

hurshy

bye hurshy!

12:41 pm

dcseain

hi, EvaN :)

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

anyone here wanna take part in the "Psychopath Test" to see if youre a Psychopath?

12:42 pm

dcseain

huh. to run ahead.

12:42 pm

Atalante

DC! PB!

12:42 pm

Atalante

oooo yes

12:42 pm

dcseain

oh, cool! ty, ata :)

12:43 pm

dcseain

why not, EvaN :)

12:43 pm

EvaNadine

ok, listen up...

12:43 pm

dcseain

i hope there are smashed potatoes in the PB

12:43 pm

EvaNadine

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result.
This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.

12:43 pm

EvaNadine

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man who she did not know.
She thought he was 'amazing'. She believed him to be her dream partner so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him.

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

A few days later she killed her sister.

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

Question:
What was her motive for killing her sister?

12:44 pm

dcseain

to meet the man again, hoping he'd come to the sister's funeral, since he was at the mother's.

12:45 pm

sha

exactly what i thought

12:45 pm

Atalante

inheritance / just didn't like her

12:45 pm

EvaNadine

DC is a psychopath!!

12:45 pm

Anniebrook

ditto

12:45 pm

EvaNadine

sha too!

12:45 pm

sha

lol

12:45 pm

dcseain

well, duh! we play babble, don't we. :P

12:45 pm

Atalante

ooooo

12:46 pm

Atalante

so what is the reasoning behind the question?

12:46 pm

wildcat17

somehow the sister had something to do with the man

12:46 pm

dcseain

good question, ata

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

most people wouldnt relate the funeral to meeting the man.
she wanted to meet him again, so she needed to create another funeral.

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

most non-psychopath people wouldnt see the correlation...

12:47 pm

Atalante

but doesn't that imply reasoning behind the killing, which would negate psychopathy?

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.
Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly.

12:47 pm

wildcat17

guess I'm not a psychopath

12:48 pm

SharonRA

sociopath

12:48 pm

dcseain

but the question is phrased to make clear that she met the man at the funeral. it leads one.

12:48 pm

wildcat17

I'm stuck at 70 words to go

12:48 pm

wildcat17

:(

12:49 pm

EvaNadine

psychopaths often have reasons for their killings, but they often dont justify right from wrong...

12:51 pm

dcseain

but linking her action to wanting to meet him again says nothing of feelings of right and wrong. Simply says the woman didn't thnk to ask others who were there.

12:52 pm

dcseain

without follow-up questions, it's rather not a very good indicator, i should sa.

12:52 pm

dcseain

say.

12:52 pm

Atalante

but its still a big emotional burden for a psychopath - a) to fall in love and b) to associate that emotion with the reaction. But what do I know!

12:53 pm

EvaNadine

im just sharing the email. i thought it was kinda fun. ;)

12:53 pm

dcseain

that's a point too, ata, and in this case, the woman was lacking in people around her to encourage her to get help

12:53 pm

Atalante

It begins to explain Harris' unbelievably callous behavior: his ability to shoot his classmates, then stop to taunt them while they writhed in pain, then finish them off. Because psychopaths are guided by such a different thought process than non-psychopathic humans, we tend to find their behavior inexplicable. But they're actually much easier to predict than the rest of us once you understand them. Psychopaths follow much stricter behavior patterns than the rest of us because they are unfettered by conscience, living solely for their own aggrandizement.

12:53 pm

wildcat17

a little disturbing ...

12:53 pm

dcseain

so she was likely lonely and/or socially isolated.

12:53 pm

Atalante

oh definitely!!!

12:53 pm

Atalante

None of his victims means anything to the psychopath. He recognizes other people only as means to obtain what he desires. Not only does he feel no guilt for destroying their lives, he doesn't grasp what they feel. The truly hard-core psychopath doesn't quite comprehend emotions like love or hate or fear, because he has never experienced them directly.

"Because of their inability to appreciate the feelings of others, some psychopaths are capable of behavior that normal people find not only horrific but baffling," Hare writes. "For example, they can torture and mutilate their victims with about the same sense of concern that we feel when we carve a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner."

12:54 pm

Atalante

its fun to psychoanalyse the psychiatrists though :P

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

just lets me know that i wouldnt wanna be stranded in a cabin with DC or ATA ;)

12:55 pm

Atalante

lmao

12:55 pm

dcseain

Obese cranium bubba :)

FMitch

Evening Sily

2:11 pm

Atalante

huuuge eyes for some reason

2:12 pm

FMitch

probably just seen the pic of D's ha4

2:13 pm

Vicuna

Duty part 2 postponed...

2:13 pm

Atalante

probably!

2:13 pm

FMitch

What is being demanded of you Vi?

2:14 pm

Haz1558

Looks like I've chosen a good time to say hello.

2:14 pm

FMitch

Good evening Haz

2:14 pm

Atalante

hi haz

2:15 pm

Haz1558

Hello all!

2:15 pm

Vicuna

Yay, the chat has just become ha6/36!

2:16 pm

Haz1558

It's nice being a clue possibility.

2:16 pm

Vicuna

Well, duty part 1 was providing sustenance for the body (ie snack), and duty part 2 was to provide sustenance for the intellect (ie read a book).

2:16 pm

FMitch

lol

2:16 pm

Atalante

can't they read on their own yet? outrageous

2:17 pm

Haz1558

And they WANT to read? What about TV or computer games?

2:17 pm

Vicuna

Actually, they can. The library here does a summer reading program and if they read 10 books they get to pick a prize...

2:17 pm

Vicuna

And yesterday they became the first kids of the summer to come in for their prizes!

2:17 pm

Atalante

ooooo fun!

2:17 pm

FMitch

oh I loved to read as a child, I devoured books

2:17 pm

Haz1558

So you mean you get to have books clogging up your house. I call that interfering of the library.

2:17 pm

Vicuna

But they're still at easy readers, so if they want much substance (which they do) I have to provide it. Sigh.

2:18 pm

Haz1558

Trying to offload their stuff into your tidy house.

2:18 pm

Vicuna

Haz, I did consider getting them seriously addicted to TV, but unfortunately my principles triumphed over convenience.

2:18 pm

Vicuna

What tidy house?

2:18 pm

Vicuna

Son would do computer all day if I'd let him, daughter seldom does any.

2:19 pm

Haz1558

Don't you have a tidy house? I suppose having children makes it more difficult unless you tie them to the leg of the table.

2:19 pm

Boobear

clue for re6/27 please

2:20 pm

Vicuna

Not only is my house untidy, but I can't even blame the kids. It was tidiER pre-children, but still hardly pristine.

2:20 pm

Vicuna

re6/27 - stick another lid on the house

2:20 pm

Haz1558

Blame FM?

2:21 pm

Boobear

ty

2:22 pm

Vicuna

Daughter sounds out words very methodically, son seems to get the words magically sometimes. The other day he was looking at the jam jar and said, "This jam has calcium chloride in it." How he knows such words is beyond me.

2:22 pm

Atalante

defintiely blame that on fm

2:22 pm

snags

sounds like my grandson, could spell words like technique and know the meaning at the age of 5

2:23 pm

Vicuna

But daughter writes up a storm and son has relatively little interest in making up his own stories. *shrug*

2:23 pm

snags

sorry, just had to brag.........

2:23 pm

Vicuna

lol, snags! =D

2:23 pm

Haz1558

It's good they're different.

2:24 pm

FMitch

I think I need an assistant, th5 seems to be rather a lot of stuff to blame about floating around these days

2:24 pm

Atalante

you could have herin

2:25 pm

Haz1558

We'll blame you if Andy Murray doesn't win Wimbledon.

2:25 pm

phaeton

You'd think if you thpeak with a lithp...you thould be able to thpell with a lithp.

2:25 pm

Vicuna

Put out an advertisement: Postion open for assistant whipping boy or girl. I'm sure that would bring in loads of resumes.

2:25 pm

FMitch

make it heroin

2:25 pm

Haz1558

I think there might be a few technical difficulties if Fmitch had that particular form of assistance.

2:26 pm

Haz1558

Or should I say forms of assistance?

2:26 pm

FMitch

but possibly dubious candidates Vi

2:26 pm

Haz1558

But Vicuna, think of the strange types who might misunderstand.

2:26 pm

Vicuna

Candidates with an unnatural fondness for leather and handcuffs?

2:27 pm

FMitch

mm that was what I was thinking, being able to provide their own whips various etc

2:27 pm

Vicuna

But if it makes them happy, and it relieves the burden on FM, why not?

2:27 pm

FMitch

true and it would add a certain je ne sait quois to the procedings

2:27 pm

Vicuna

*starts humming "Sweet dreams are made of these..."*

2:27 pm

Haz1558

Dear goodness, she's going to sing!

2:28 pm

snags

lol vi

2:28 pm

Vicuna

TO THE PB WITH HAZ!

2:28 pm

KatieMcG

I've updated my icon for my personal motto :-)

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Oh, you can't send me to the PB for something like that! Can you? Where's your mercy?

2:28 pm

FMitch

I say Vi, have you been taking lessons? You are sounding rather good!

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Personal motto - is it written in sarcastic font?

2:29 pm

FMitch

Haz, as the chief of police you must go, and set the example to all

2:29 pm

snags

for those of you that played tangleword, have you tried the new weboggle.com? It has been upgraded and is rather like tangle.

2:29 pm

Vicuna

Oh, is today supposed to be personal motto day? I thought it was ummm. "Something French-Canadian"

2:29 pm

KatieMcG

Oh no I love this motto, have it up in my kitchen, it's one of those things that speaks to me on a bad day.

2:30 pm

Haz1558

Okay, I'll go, but I'm muttering like Muttley did - 'Sassinfrassinrassin'

2:30 pm

FMitch

Brillian Katie!

2:30 pm

Atalante

I have a tshirt with that on :)

2:30 pm

Vicuna

Darn. I'd have done a motto. But alas, Duty Part 2 calls. I'll be back when I can.

2:30 pm

KatieMcG

I don't know if it is personal motto day but the funny icons sent me looking for a picture of the motto that makes me laugh

2:30 pm

Haz1558

Is it personal motto day? For the icon, I mean?

2:30 pm

FMitch

No its not but it should be

2:30 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Ata :-) I need a mug with it on for work to go with the 'look' I sometimes hit my boss with

2:31 pm

Haz1558

Yes, because yesterday could have been dodgiest haircut day.

2:31 pm

KatieMcG

laughing at the memory of the haircut once again, how did the repair go?

2:32 pm

Atalante

miraculous. the ha** went from *that* to almost normal

2:32 pm

Atalante

brb dinner ready

2:32 pm

Karys

hello Haz, FM, Ata and all

2:32 pm

KatieMcG

Hi Karys

2:32 pm

Haz1558

Karys! Nice to see you!

2:32 pm

FMitch

Too darn good Katie, we were all most disappointed.

Karys!! how lovely :)

2:33 pm

Karys

Good to be here...... and with a tale to tell !!

2:33 pm

KatieMcG

He still had to wear it until it was fixed, that's enough for me!

2:33 pm

FMitch

ooooo? Do tell your tale ...!

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Oh good - do tell. Is George Clooney involved?

2:33 pm

Karys

Oh dear Haz.... so sorry, no

2:34 pm

Haz1558

Ah well, I'm sure it's good anyway. (Waiting expectantly)

2:34 pm

Atalante

back. bad haircut boy isn't here so I can eat and babble

2:34 pm

Karys

We just got back from our cruise, which was lovely, and would have been even better if we had had our luggage with us !

2:35 pm

Haz1558

Nooooooooooooo!

2:35 pm

FMitch

2:35 pm

Haz1558

No luggage the whole time?

2:35 pm

KatieMcG

Nooooooo!

2:35 pm

Karys

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees

2:35 pm

Haz1558

Don't tell me you had to wear the same pair of knickers the whole time.

2:35 pm

FMitch

well you must both have a fine tan then!!! looool

2:36 pm

Karys

We were flying to Barcelona from Manchester via Munich, we got to Barcelona but the cases stayed in Manchester

2:36 pm

KatieMcG

Seriously how did you manage?

2:36 pm

FMitch

Oh heavens!! what a pain.

2:37 pm

Karys

and they went a different route to us, they even went to Pisa ( we didn't )

2:37 pm

Haz1558

You can't blame either Heathrow T5 or FMitch.

2:38 pm

KatieMcG

could you bye stuff to wear & are you covered on your insurance?

2:38 pm

Karys

The ship's staff were wonderful, they even foundme a dress for ther formal night and hired a 'tux' for Roger

2:38 pm

Haz1558

I've just had a thought. Can you imagine what someone's reaction would have been?

2:38 pm

Karys

I got really excited whenI was able to buy a new bra in Florence !!

2:39 pm

Haz1558

And knickers? Did you buy more knickers?

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

Hello

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

Obessed with whom?

2:40 pm

MLFAN17

HI Katie

2:40 pm

Haz1558

Karys, that must have been a pain but you can still laugh about it, at least.

2:40 pm

FMitch

obsessed with clean undies

2:41 pm

phaeton

Or GC!

2:41 pm

Karys

we were able to buy a pack on board especially for these circumstances which included 3 pairs of knickers.....but you should have seen the ones for Roger ...no, you shouldn't, you really shouldn't...he had to put the light off when he was getting changed !!!

2:41 pm

Haz1558

Absolutely! You never know when you might be hit by a bus and end up in hospital.

2:41 pm

KatieMcG

Now I'm on with that. Usually have about 24 pairs for a 14 day holiday

2:41 pm

MLFAN17

Never mind i got it

2:41 pm

Karys

m too katie !

2:42 pm

Haz1558

You can't feel secure unless you have knickers laid past just in case of dire things happening.

2:42 pm

Karys

and no hair products !!!

2:42 pm

FMitch

PB time again

2:43 pm

KatieMcG

My friend was in the Maldives when the tsumani hit, as she scrambled for safey her main thought was that she didn't have clean pants on :-)

2:43 pm

Karys

Haz...strangely, it does upset your confidence !

2:43 pm

phaeton

Dont' the cruises supply hair products like in motel/hotels?

2:43 pm

Haz1558

Karys, Fmitch is being very harsh in PB marching off today.

2:43 pm

KatieMcG

Obviously she was fine otherwise it wouldn't be a smile!

2:43 pm

Haz1558

It does. I just like to know that I'm well supplied in the undies department.

2:44 pm

FMitch

Moi? harsh? Huh!

2:44 pm

Karys

so sorry FM.... getting carried away, anyway, you know I am useless when I start to chat !!

2:44 pm

KatieMcG

I once had to count mine as a bet, I had over 100 pairs!

2:44 pm

Haz1558

But the cruise was fun otherwise?

2:44 pm

Haz1558

Really, Katie? But do you have to have them matched to bras?

2:44 pm

Karys

To a certain extent phaeton, but things are very limited

2:44 pm

FMitch

2:47 pm

Karys

No, fortunately for all of us... if daughter's had gone missing we might have been better coming straight home !!!

2:47 pm

Haz1558

2:48 pm

Haz1558

Daughter no 2 used to work in TK Maxx. One day, as they were clearing the changing room they found that someone had gone off wearing a new bra and had left their old one behind. She claimed it looked as if it had been worn for months..... UGH!
