I saw the chat about the Olympic Rings. Back inthe 70s, when it was fashionable to sew embroidered motifs to your jeans and tee shirts, I got one of the Olympic Rings and sewed it in the middle of the chest part of my red tee shirt... when I put the shirt on the rings stretched across my cleavage. My Dad laughed and christened the motif 'The Olympic Eggs'. Even though Dad's gone now, they're still the Olympic Eggs in our family... and all due to my bosoms.:-D

12:33 am

FMitch

Oh good news
Hi Groovy and MG

12:33 am

12:54 am

Jacula

I guessed it was Crete, Orange. I love that island. However, young Brits are causing havoc there right now, I believe. (In-laws just came back from there and told us of the noise and grief).

12:54 am

OrangeCat

12:57 am

OrangeCat

south coast is also great. lovely quiet village called Mirtos (we had our honeymoon there)

12:58 am

Jacula

I quite fancy the millionnaires' mansions at Elounda, each with its own private swimming pool. LOL

12:58 am

jillibus

all sounds much nicer than the Misson BC area

12:58 am

Jellen

Goodbye, everyone. Time for me to get some sleep...

12:58 am

Jacula

I was thinking South for our next vist, Orange.

12:58 am

rururocks

jilli I promise this weekend I will try to do a new icon that relates to the theme..

12:58 am

OrangeCat

you'd probably like Loutro then. no road access. only access by the ferry from Sfakia

1:02 am

sin bin for jilli!

1:02 am

Jacula

LOL, Orange!

1:02 am

Jacula

AgNik was lovely but very busy.

1:03 am

OrangeCat

did u get out to Spinalonga? that place gave me the creeps

1:03 am

jillibus

oh yes, oh dear -- jac's cappuccino there? Iced?

1:03 am

flosey

I'm off to bed, goodnight all, be back in the morning

1:04 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey, sweet dreams!

1:04 am

OrangeCat

I love Knossos and Phaestos. those ancient places are very humbling somehow

1:04 am

GroovyKiwi

nite flosey sweetest dreams

1:04 am

jillibus

night flosey -- are you feeling better?

1:04 am

flosey

yes jilli - very happy to say, much better

1:04 am

Jacula

I loved Spinalonga! I came back wanting to write a book and then found out Victoria Hislop had got there before me.

1:04 am

GroovyKiwi

de 7 which has nothing to do with the de 8s

1:04 am

sprite

lol, twice jilli, for de4 as well. You can have 2 iced cappuccinos now.

1:05 am

GroovyKiwi

en 7

1:05 am

jillibus

Guess I'd better zip my lip (I think those words are safe)

1:06 am

sprite

all 3 letter words are safe, jilli. But please go on chatting :D

1:06 am

Jacula

Orange - Spinalonga is not a scaret place - it's a very peaceful place (but full of midges and mosquitoes).

1:06 am

jillibus

so glad, flosey -- keep up the good work and the antibiotics!

1:07 am

jillibus

love that Spinalonga name but it sounds dizzifying

1:07 am

OrangeCat

i read that book last year jac. my husband took me there... but it kind of gave me the shivers.

1:07 am

Jacula

jilli and sprite have both had my letter (via snail mail) about Crete and my Spinalonga trip, I think.

1:07 am

sprite

lol, dizzifying... a Lori word?

1:08 am

sprite

oh yes, Jac! I did and it is in our holiday drawer, for when we will have the money to go there.

1:08 am

Jacula

Orange - that's odd. Maybe your inner vibes vibrate to different things from my own. I just felt peace there.

1:08 am

OrangeCat

have u been to Falassarna? or Elifonissi? amazingly beautiful beaches

1:09 am

OrangeCat

i just felt the overwhelming sadness and isolation? such heartbreak there

1:09 am

Jacula

Elifonissi, yes. The other, no, not yet.

1:10 am

OrangeCat

another wonderful spot is Frangokastello.. along the south. great beach.

1:11 am

Jacula

Orange - there was heartbreak and isolation on the island, for sure, but, in the end, it was a far better life, with a village, a cinema, dances, etc., than the life on the mainland, which was living in a beach cave and hoping your family left food in a basket some way away and that no one stole it before ou got to it, and not seeing your family.

1:11 am

jillibus

I certainly enjoyed jac's Crete creation :)

1:12 am

Jacula

Spinalonga offered so much more. Some people were cured and left the island. Others did not. But it wasn't a sad place.

1:13 am

OrangeCat

another good book (also i movie i hear) is Fugitive Pieces. not sure the author

1:13 am

Jacula

Glad you enjoyed it, jilli.

1:13 am

jillibus

Must go to bed -- have to get up much too early (for me)

1:13 am

Jacula

Havn't heard of that one, Orange.

1:14 am

sprite

sleep well, jilli. Sweet dreams and a big *hug*

1:14 am

rururocks

y's done

1:14 am

Hugabugs

g'nite jilli - sleep well

1:14 am

FMitch

Nigh jilli, lovely to see you again

1:14 am

jillibus

should I be a shamed that I haven't found those re8 words?

1:14 am

Jacula

Yes, so I saw, jilli. To be in a place you don't want to be at a time that's not convenient to you, and a place that isn't convenient either.

1:14 am

sprite

of course not. Re's are always evil.

1:14 am

rururocks

no shame in missing 8's

1:15 am

rururocks

*** not as evil as k words.. but evil nonetheless***

1:15 am

OrangeCat

2 other good movies about this area are Nyfes and A Touch of Spice

1:15 am

sprite

you got it, ruru

1:15 am

jillibus

oops -- just found one of them!

1:15 am

Jacula

Um. no, not found any re8s yet. I'm freewheeling, as usual. No list etc.

1:16 am

1:16 am

1:17 am

sprite

pizza for breakfast... hm, no thnx, Kiwi, I will pass.

1:17 am

Jacula

Orange, next time we come to Crete, we must meet and I'll take you back to Spinalonga and show you the real island spirit. Deal?

1:17 am

jillibus

halfpoof -- good one -- but now fullpoof, foolproof -- ttfn!

1:17 am

hey person that lives in greece - do you have any recommendations/warnings/advice for me, who is planning on traveling to turkey this fall?

1:18 am

OrangeCat

1:19 am

joshuavorbis

1:19 am

sprite

bye Orange, have a good day!

1:19 am

OrangeCat

if u'r planning on heading to turkey.. go to greece first then turkey.

1:20 am

joshuavorbis

why greece first then turkey?

1:21 am

OrangeCat

u'r american? sometimes if u get a cranky customs person they won't let u come here if u'v been to turkey. some of the greeks still really really dislike the turks

1:21 am

Jacula

In-Laws are off to Turkey later this year, after having just returned from their 4th visit to Crete.

1:21 am

joshuavorbis

i've heard of that happening trying to enter arab countries with an israeli stamp, but not greece/turkey

1:21 am

OrangeCat

also depends if u'r on your own or with a group and how old u are

1:22 am

Jacula

In-laws don't ntend to return to Crete again, because all they've ever done is go to Stalis and move up and down the main street.

1:23 am

Jacula

Turkey isn't really high on my list of must visit places.

1:23 am

OrangeCat

they really need to get out and explore.

1:24 am

Jacula

They won't, though, Orange.

1:24 am

OrangeCat

Chania.. Rythemnon... there are some amazing places to see. my husband is a policeman so turkey is a big no-no around here.

1:24 am

OrangeCat

anwyays... time for me to get moving. bye!

1:24 am

Jacula

I'd like to visit New Zealand and Tasmania some time.

1:25 am

Jacula

Australia, I suppose I must see it some time, but, I'm 51, not rich, and so it's not high on the list.

enjoying the quiet and how are you?

7:07 am

Scarlet

Likewise, West... enjoying this year's baseball season and looking forward to the Olympics starting this evening... (I'm a bit of a sports' freak... LLO)

7:07 am

Anniebrook

Hello everyone!

7:07 am

Anniebrook

{{{scarlet}}}}

7:07 am

westford

where did the summer go/

7:07 am

Scarlet

{{{ANNIEB!!!}}}

7:08 am

Anniebrook

scarlet, I was wondering where you had gone off to

7:08 am

Scarlet

I know, West... exhibition football starts soon... the best time of the year for me... my two favorite sports until the end of the World Series...

7:08 am

Anniebrook

How are you and yours, scarlet?

7:09 am

Scarlet

Oh, Annie, dear... it was family reunion last week and I am still exhausted from all three daughters and all four grandchildren! :-)

7:09 am

Anniebrook

but an nice exhaustion

7:09 am

Anniebrook

*a

7:09 am

Scarlet

The absolute best, Annie~!

7:10 am

Anniebrook

too early for typos....going to put up a pot of caffeine

7:10 am

westford

we did that in july so nice to be together

7:11 am

Scarlet

Annie...I bet you are pretty thrilled that your guys nabbed Pudge... one of my all-time favorite catchers in history... is he feeling better after the homeplate collision?

7:11 am

Scarlet

Oh.... coffee... why didn't I think of it? West, do you have a large family?

7:13 am

westford

3 daughters 1 son and 5 granddaughters and husbands and wife so yes lol

7:14 am

Scarlet

How wonderful for you to be in the grandmother years too, West... it is unlike any other section of my life... special and so filled with a new kind of love.

7:14 am

westford

I agree scarlet

7:15 am

Anniebrook

Pudge was a very good trade..think he is playing tonight...how about Favre on the Jets? Even I was impressed who is a dummy when it comes to the sport of football

7:15 am

westford

I'm sure you've heard the saying..'if I knew how wonderful it was to be a grandmother I'd have had my grandchildren first' or something like that

7:15 am

Scarlet

We have three granddaughters: almost 8; 7 1/2; and the little one will be 5 on Dec. 26; the grandson will be 6 on Sept. 3! I am rushing to finish the heritage afghan for him on birthday day!

7:16 am

Scarlet

Oh, Annie... I think Brett will revitalize the Jets... it's a great trade! And the Red Sox will be better off without all the grandstanding of Manny...he's well-suited to the LA glamor crappola!

7:17 am

westford

how wonderful have you done one for all the grandchildren? they will treasure them always

7:17 am

Scarlet

LOL, West... I have thought of that many times...

7:18 am

westford

Manny changed his mind at the last minute but it was too late..his replacement is not doing to badly

7:18 am

Scarlet

Yes, West... the little one will have hers by December 2009... I've already started the crocheting... but now I have sore fingertips from sewing on the appliques on grandson's blanket... many more to do.

7:18 am

westford

will be hard to think of Brett anywhere but Green Bay

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Manny will fit right in. Let Torre deal with his nonsense...he might even straighten him out and New York is ecstatic about Brett

7:19 am

westford

I so admire people with talent

7:19 am

Scarlet

So do I, West... and Brett may surprise everyone with pulling some great games out of his repetoire... I

7:20 am

westford

he's not so bad to look at either lol

7:20 am

Scarlet

I'll never forget the Monday Night Football exhibition right after his father died... one of the greatest moments in sports' history!

7:20 am

westford

that was heart rending

7:21 am

Scarlet

Right, Annie... Torre is one of the greats in handling his players... and Manny got me so angry about not hustling off the diamond when he launched one... mad me livid... Boston is a great team, and now they will be better in the Manny-free zone!

7:22 am

Scarlet

*made*

7:22 am

westford

and he'll be so much happier in southern CA during the winter lol

7:23 am

Anniebrook

Yes, youre right. When Manny would just stand there I wanted to push him...I used to holler at the TV. LOL. Right about the weather, west. Tell me, who did the RedSox get in the trade?

7:23 am

westford

I have no idea...takes me awhile to learn the new names but he did bat one out of the park his first day

7:24 am

Scarlet

Must make coffee... will be back in a flash...

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet would know, I bet. Okay, Scar, fess up!

7:24 am

Anniebrook

going to fill my cup with caffeine

7:24 am

8:08 am

Scarlet

You start with 15 pounds of Romas, add four huge Vidalia onions, one green bell pepper, a pile of fresh Elephant garlic and simmer for two days until reduced... then add more herbs, spices, more garlic and onions, fresh basil and parsley and then put in the Parmesano/Reggiano cheese by the bowlful until thickened... then adjust the tastes...

8:09 am

iluvcofee

sprite, that is not the one i need.. tx working on nDan's clue..

8:09 am

8:45 am

goodwick

I've noticed a few of you mentioning an icon theme. What does this mean ?

8:45 am

montreal13

did you say the other day herin, that you were getting a pair of new computers ?

8:46 am

herinfernallady

HI Goodwick.

8:46 am

flosey

goodwick, in the bar across top of computer screen, you'll see Resources, you'll find Icon themes there

8:46 am

sprite

there is a theme everyday, goodwick. You can go google, find an icon that fits the theme and if you like, put some info in your profile about it. It is a lovely way to get to know things you'd never knew.

8:46 am

harpjane

a while ago we all changed our icons to bananas for some unknown reason. it was so much fun that it turned into the practice of having a different theme every day

8:46 am

sprite

they are listed here:
http://www.playbabble.com/view_p
rofile/6719

8:46 am

flosey

ah, is that where it started Jane, I wondered

8:47 am

goodwick

what is the theme today and where do you find this?

8:47 am

harpjane

that bar is only there if you have lickety's program, but

8:47 am

harpjane

friday is always "take a word from the grid" then the icon is a clue

8:47 am

harpjane

mine is a double clu

8:47 am

harpjane

clue

8:48 am

sprite

that list I gave is from Babbler's profile, you can go to the link without having lickety's browser.

8:48 am

Scarlet

LOL...good one, harp!

8:48 am

harpjane

list babbler as a friend and you can get it easily

8:48 am

flosey

and thanks Jane - what an unusual icon you have today

8:48 am

goodwick

still a bit confused but I guess I will soon get into it after playing a bit more lol

8:49 am

Scarlet

Hi, good... there are so many helpful folks in here...it won't take long! :-)

8:49 am

montreal13

yes good one harp, too bad i had the words already...but, i need to re-load as your icon appears to be an old advertising poster...

8:50 am

goodwick

8:50 am

sprite

8:51 am

herinfernallady

WOW i really need to look at the grid :)

8:51 am

redshoes

Scarlet, looked back in the logs and I understand what you mean about people telling you you're overqualified for jobs. I got that with some temp agencies. I'm like...ok, I'll make $10/hr. That's still more than the $0/hr I'm making doing nothing!

8:51 am

montreal13

just refreshed (reload in Firefox) and only jane's and scarlet's icons changed...

8:51 am

harpjane

welcome wick, we can all quit any time.....\

8:51 am

Scarlet

goodwick... there are people who signed up on the first day because this chatline is such a rarity in the cyber-world...

8:52 am

harpjane

it's an example of how a wiki ought to work

8:52 am

harpjane

wait till you see what happens to trolls

8:52 am

Scarlet

Exactly what I have been telling them, harp... it's nothing to do with past experience, it's that I need good, honest work and am willing to be an asset... it's a tough market out there...

8:53 am

goodwick

a friend intoduced me to it. She is so hooked that she gets up 6.00a.m. every morning cos I believe that is the time here when the new grid is out

8:53 am

9:31 am

yep. schools in California started the year-round thing in the states. But they get more breaks. Fall Break, Spring Break, Summer Break, Winter Break...ok, that's at least one for every season, right?

9:31 am

9:43 am

Judi

WOW, Herein! That is huge. Are you going to meet them?

9:44 am

wildcat17

9:44 am

phaeton

Except you...right?

9:44 am

herinfernallady

I don't know. One day at a time

9:44 am

Judi

Sounds like dad got around a bit.

9:44 am

Babs1

I guess that would be 6 wows! lol

9:44 am

herinfernallady

Phaeton except me. He was a drunk and a gambler

9:45 am

9:45 am

phaeton

an...last part of the ink design on an arm

9:46 am

herinfernallady

Judi. I have and will never have any information on him. I found out all this tonight from Facebook. Someone contacted me and asked if i was this person from this place. I thought she was a sister of someone i went to school with. The oldest of the siblings rang me tonight. Information was exchanged about things no one else could know

9:47 am

phaeton

!WOW! ...Herin, what a shock! Did you have any idea there were others out there?

9:47 am

phaeton

So, are these siblings from your birthmum?

9:48 am

herinfernallady

No idea what so ever. There is 6 siblings from my Birthmum.

9:48 am

9:50 am

herinfernallady

They all live in the same area. One of the twins looks like me

9:50 am

redshoes

herin, you're almost like a real-life Parent Trap sitch

9:51 am

herinfernallady

Well not looks like me but pulls the damn same face.

9:51 am

phaeton

Herin, are you thinking of getting together with them soon?

9:51 am

phaeton

Did you know about your birth mother before this?

9:51 am

herinfernallady

Not yet. Would like to exchange pictures and things first

9:52 am

phaeton

Sorry, don't mean to grill you...this is fascinating...if you'd rather not answer any questions, just say so. :)

9:52 am

flosey

grat to find these relatives too herin for medical information exchange

9:52 am

flosey

**great, I meant)

9:53 am

Judi

Yes, herin. Best to tread lightly at this stage. Still strangers, so you don't really know who you're dealing with. Still - how exciting to find out you have that many sibs. I hope it turns out to be a wonderful gift for all of you.

9:53 am

herinfernallady

That is why she contacted me. Phaeton i have always known. Mum and dad told me from do one

9:53 am

phaeton

I'm sure you are still trying to assimulate all the information. :)

9:54 am

redshoes

think you'll do blood tests herin? flosey's right about the medical info. I mean, you never know when someone might need a kidney or something

9:54 am

herinfernallady

I had to right it down. Mum wants to right to the birth mum first.

9:55 am

redshoes

herin, isn't it after midnight for you now?

9:55 am

10:05 am

wildcat17

as with anything that's out there, there are people who will use it for purposes other that it was intended

10:05 am

Judi

Judging from some of the horror stories coming from Facebook, Stalkerbook sounds more accurate. I have no interest in getting involved with that nonsense.

10:06 am

I am very careful. I have my name and date of birth not much else

Mom

5:20 pm

Dorens

It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And on I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

You used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance 'til the morning sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

5:20 pm

These mist covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be

Some day you'll return to

Your valleys and your farms

And you'll no longer burn

To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction

Baptism of fire

I've watched all your suffering

As the battles raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds

So many different suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell

And the moon's riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight

And every line on your palm

We're fools to make war

5:23 pm

Kazzer99
