My first dog was CH. Quivera's Shadow DanceMaster, aka DIsco...purebred Min. Schnauzer...I had baked a batch of choc chip cookies for work one morning and set them on the dining table to take with me, went in for my shower, and when I came out dressed for work, no cookies...made sure the doors and windows were locked then went looking...thought I had a brain lapse when I spotted Disco laying on the floor coveringthe bag...he had chewed through (cuz he couldn't undo the zip top!) and had eaten every single speck of cookie to be had...I kenneled him up, thinking if he's going to be ill, he'd do it in a contained space, and if he's gonna die, it'll be easier to carry him away to the vet...(I'm terrible, yes?) when I returned home from work, it was as if he hadn't done anything....I had him for 5 yrs before I had to put him down...contracted Valley Fever...microspore that attckes the spinal and nervous system diables horses and dogs...no cures, just expensive meds..back then anyways...

Haz1558
DENSA will never get to MENSA if the brain cells aren't exercised. This is called tough love, lori. Be thankful you're not a child of mine. Slappings and gruel were my girls' staple diet.
3:39 am
hurshy
castor oil too, i suppose
3:39 am
loredana
cod liver oil i would assume Haz
3:39 am
Haz1558
Castor oil was too good for them. We used the drained engine oil. We were green before everyone else with this recycling lark.
3:40 am
Haz1558
Speaking of DENSA - have you found a suitable cap yet, Lori?
3:41 am
LoriP
Not yet haz, one can't hurry these things.
3:41 am
Haz1558
There's one in the grid yonder.
3:42 am
bfdeele
d words: di 4/5 x3, 5/12, 4/5, 7/32, 4/5, 7/32 x2, 9/60. dr5/12, 6/21, 4/5. du 5/16, 4/6 x2.
3:42 am
LoriP
Sure there is. Rumor mongering again?
3:43 am
Haz1558
Moi? Go sit in the corner for that remark!
3:55 am
Atalante
haz? rumours? not about *gasp* lickety?
3:56 am
Haz1558
You've heard another rumour about Lickety? I've heard he's being held at Her Majesty's pleasure but some people didn't believe me.
3:56 am
Atalante
wouldn't surprise me. dodgy, that guy is
3:57 am
LoriP
G'd morning Ata Hari. I though Lickety had ben taken by aliens.
3:57 am
Atalante
ooo! maybe! or maybe he was the guy eaten by a croc the other day
3:58 am
Haz1558
Could he be going undercover as a Rolf Harris impersonator?
3:59 am
Atalante
hmmm ... is he good at singing waltzing matilda?
3:59 am
Haz1558
No, but then neither is Rolf Harris.
4:00 am
Haz1558
Lori - you maybe don't know who Rolf Harris is? Australian, came to Britain, made a fortune out of painting pictures while wearing three legs and playing a didgeridoo.
4:01 am
Haz1558
He blended into Britain seamlessly.
4:01 am
Atalante
three legs? did I miss that?
4:02 am
LoriP
I can see why. So, I can give up on that dream, since he's beaten me to it.
4:02 am
Haz1558
Keep up Ata - I'm Jake the Peg with my extra leg. Number 1 for more weeks than I care to remember.
4:02 am
loredana
Haz only when he was Jake did he have three legs Rolf is from Bassendean here in Western Australia
4:02 am
Atalante
before I was born, maybe?
4:02 am
Andree
i'm jake the peg diddle diddle dum with and extra leg etc
4:02 am
loredana
for sure Ata
4:02 am
Andree
hi i'm back again
4:03 am
Haz1558
I knew I'd flush out the Australians.
4:03 am
loredana
just making sure you were perfectly correct which you were as usual Haz lol
4:03 am
loredana
come on be fair make it a kiwi next time
4:03 am
Atalante
I can't be responsible for not knowing things that occurred before I was born
4:03 am
Andree
you certainly did that haz
4:03 am
Haz1558
I'd never attack Dame Kiri!
4:04 am
loredana
had us all singing along
4:04 am
Haz1558
You can't say that, Atalante - the study of history would kind of be negated by that attitude.
4:04 am
loredana
theres always Russel Crowe or Sam Neil to start with
4:05 am
Haz1558
Just for the record, I quite like Rolf Harris - not the greatest singer in the world but he was entertaining.
4:05 am
Atalante
at least I know some Beatles songs
4:05 am
Atalante
awww not Sam Neill! *loves Sam*
4:06 am
loredana
Dont have to be negative can be positive Ata
4:06 am
Atalante
he has a vineyard
4:07 am
loredana
Or Rob Guest he just died actually very nice guy he was in the Phantom of the Opera here at home he was a singer of less status
4:07 am
loredana
he sure does and hes a very nice man Ata
4:07 am
Haz1558
Smaller than Rolf Harris or not a good singer?
4:07 am
loredana
I would rather talk about Jeremy Irons though
4:08 am
Haz1558
Oh status - I read singer of less stature. I was picturing a vertically challenged Pavarotti.
4:08 am
loredana
He was a pop singer in NZ
4:08 am
Atalante
he always looks like a very nice man. does he sell his wine commercially?
4:08 am
Andree
can we talk about colin firth instead lore
4:08 am
loredana
Didnt Rolf get knighted for painting the queen?
4:08 am
Atalante
who? Jeremy Irons? a pop singer? :P
4:09 am
Haz1558
Colin Firth? From New Zealand?
4:09 am
loredana
Yes he does Ata his wineyard is in the South Is cant remember exactly where might be Mekenzie country
4:09 am
Andree
he painted the queen, not sure thats why he was knighted
4:09 am
loredana
No Rob Guest
4:09 am
Haz1558
I don't know that he got knighted for painting the Queen - if anything it would have been for services to entertainment or charity work.
4:10 am
Atalante
mmmm I want Sam Neill wine
4:10 am
Andree
as in mr darcy, that colin firth
4:10 am
loredana
of course Haz
4:11 am
loredana
Colin Firth hes from Hampshire not NZ
4:11 am
Haz1558
Rolf Harris has not been knighted, he has been given a CBE.
4:11 am
Haz1558
He already had an MBE and an OBE.
4:12 am
loredana
Ata did yo know that Sam was actually born in Northern Ireland?
4:14 am
Andree
lore i did not mean he was from NZ i just love him and not into jeremy irons
4:14 am
Haz1558
I didn't know that! Apparently born Omagh, Co Tyrone in 1947, parents returned to NZ in 1954. I wonder if he can still do a Northern Ireland accent? Most actors are rubbish at it.
4:16 am
loredana
you love colin firth okay you can have him no i prefer jeremy irons
4:16 am
loredana
Is that far from you Haz
4:17 am
Haz1558
It's about 2 counties away - maybe an hour and a half drive
4:18 am
Andree
at least we aren't fighting over the same bloke otherwise it could turn ugly
4:18 am
Haz1558
<----------- I've made my choice.
4:19 am
loredana
plenty to go around hey andree
4:21 am
Atalante
ha! husband just tried to tell me that Hobbit is as much his dog as mine. As if!
4:21 am
Andree
nice choice haz but you can keep him
4:21 am
Andree
men have no idea do they ata
4:22 am
Haz1558
Just humour him, Atalante - you do want him to take Hobbit for a walk, don't you?
4:22 am
Atalante
absolutely none!
4:22 am
loredana
really Ata some people ...... I dont know what because he just walked her! lol
4:22 am
Atalante
we all know the truth LOL. silly man!
4:25 am
loredana
have fun I need to go do some chores back later still 100 to go
4:25 am
Andree
can i get a clue for the 1st di7/32 please and thx to whoever gave the stats for the d
4:26 am
Haz1558
di7 - the opposite of as6 - to agree
4:26 am
Haz1558
Wait - that may not be right - I'm not using a list.
4:27 am
Haz1558
As if that's news! Something to do with Lickety having been captured by aliens, isn't it?
4:27 am
loredana
di 7/32 di+plural+ra4/4
4:27 am
LoriP
***No, taken by dingoes.***
4:27 am
lynxxx
I think it is di* & ****s and taxes
4:28 am
LoriP
Any 7's or bigger from that w? If anyone knows please.
4:28 am
Atalante
pr9, pr9, di9
4:28 am
Haz1558
Told you I was wrong!
4:29 am
LoriP
ahh, that's good info Ata, thanks!
4:29 am
Haz1558
Could he have been bowled over by a kangaroo? Or could he have taken flight with emus. Oh wait.... do they fly?
4:29 am
Andree
thx lynxxx and lore
4:29 am
Atalante
was he stolen by a dingo?
4:30 am
Andree
biggest w i have is a 5
4:30 am
Haz1558
lynxxx - I'm reading over the early morning chat log. The calling is getting to fever pitch, isn't it? I don't think they understand...
4:30 am
Haz1558
Maybe he stole a dingo and that's why he's in prison.
4:30 am
Andree
no they are flightless birds
4:30 am
Haz1558
wi6 - superlative adjective.
4:31 am
lynxxx
just after the flip Haz? a tad annoying
4:31 am
Haz1558
So h'es not flown off with emus. We can cross that off the list of possibilities.
4:31 am
Atalante
the people who amuse me are those who were told yesterday that lickety is away and then come in today going "OMG! no Lickety!"
4:31 am
LoriP
Have that one Haz, just missing 1. Thanks anyway, skipping past the w....
4:31 am
Haz1558
It's crazy, lynxxx. I'm glad you spoke up but whether it will make any difference is debatable. Some seem to think that it's required to report every word they find.
4:32 am
Andree
seems thet what is given freely is not appreciated
4:32 am
LoriP
Must read chat when i take a break.....
4:32 am
Atalante
it's appreciated, but now expected
4:32 am
LoriP
You mean he's not back yet Ata?
4:32 am
Atalante
omg! *panic*
4:33 am
Andree
that was funny lynxx and good you said something, not that it stopped
4:33 am
Haz1558
The whole character of the flip has changed completely - not that I'm around at that time, but I usually look back to see what's been happening.
4:34 am
lynxxx
too silly for me which is why I wandered off - great have the biggies called but ...
4:35 am
Atalante
MLF calls out every word she finds normally :P
4:35 am
Haz1558
It's turning into a two horse race of unequal weights. Most of those who used to contribute I visualise as standing aghast.
4:36 am
Andree
its infuriating and thank goodness i am seldom at flip
4:36 am
Atalante
I still find it amazing that she can find so many big words immediately, but has to ask for every 4 letter word later
4:37 am
Haz1558
That puzzles me as well. And if she can use morewords for the big words, why not for the smaller ones?
4:37 am
Atalante
one of life's mysteries. like lickety's whereabouts
4:37 am
LoriP
I thought flip ettiquette was only calling out big words. I stayed awake for a flip once. That's 2 am here
4:37 am
Haz1558
Yes. Are you sure he's away and this isn't just a big practical joke?
4:38 am
Andree
i think he is probably sick of us and has gone for a lobotomy
4:38 am
LoriP
Alien dingoes. Focus people, focus.
4:38 am
Haz1558
That's the thing about babble etiquette. It's not written down anywhere and it just tended to be absorbed and understood. The new influx has not understood.
4:39 am
Andree
or a sex change
4:39 am
lynxxx
lol Atal, I know that look. Sometimes I feel a soft wetness on my nose when I am asleep and when I start & wake I see a similar face an inch away
4:39 am
Haz1558
Alien dingoes. I love it.
4:39 am
Haz1558
The alien dingoes are giving Lickety a sex change?
4:39 am
Atalante
awwwwww :D isn't it wonderful!
4:40 am
Andree
i think you might have hit the nail on the head haz
4:40 am
Haz1558
Is Skippy going to be able to rescue him?
4:40 am
Atalante
yes, I often wake up to that face
4:41 am
Haz1558
So, is that the official story then? Or can we come up with something unlikely?
4:41 am
lynxxx
sigh ... we're never going to able to live down Skippy
4:41 am
LoriP
Well, we've already ruled out holiday.
4:42 am
Haz1558
Live down Skippy? What's to live down? Wasn't he responsible for launching Kylie Minogue?
4:42 am
Andree
with the grand finals tomorrow maybe he is the eagles secret weapon
4:42 am
Atalante
and Jason Donovan?
4:42 am
Atalante
holiday? too obvious
4:43 am
Haz1558
I don't know if Jason Donovan was on Skippy, was he?
4:43 am
LoriP
Just pointing out the obvious. Reality is never that straight forward.
4:43 am
Atalante
oh probably
4:43 am
Andree
don't think so
4:43 am
Haz1558
I take it the Eagles are a sports team and not the group?
4:44 am
Andree
rugby league grand final tomorrow between the manly sea eagles and melbourne storms
4:45 am
Haz1558
I like the sound of the Manly Sea Eagles. They sound... manly. And tough.
4:45 am
Andree
or maybe that was a good reason to leave town
4:45 am
LoriP
Are they bald too?
4:46 am
Haz1558
Is LIckety bald? Maybe he's getting hair extensions or a hair transplant done.
4:46 am
Andree
i suppose lynxxx would say go melbourne
4:47 am
Andree
no he his tall and good looking so is mrp
4:47 am
nancethefan
hey & hugggggssssssss y'all
4:47 am
lynxxx
Lyn doesn't care really. Only knew Hawks won last week as close friends are strong supporters
4:47 am
Haz1558
Good morning nance - you're here early!
4:47 am
LoriP
G'd morning nance
4:47 am
Atalante
maybe he's getting breast implants to look like Jordan
4:48 am
nancethefan
hey lori
4:48 am
nancethefan
hey lynxx
4:48 am
Haz1558
Tall, good looking and missing in action. Poor Lickety. I hope those alien dingoes go gently with him.
4:48 am
Andree
good then you won't mind when manly win
4:48 am
lynxxx
Go for it Andree
4:49 am
LoriP
What are the odds of Lickety's abduction like that, especially since he lives nowhere near a trailer park.
4:49 am
Andree
my sons and 3 oldest grandchildren are all in manly jumpers and their cars flying flags etc too funny
4:50 am
Haz1558
I know. It seems unlikely, doesn't it, but then he was maybe en route to the suppose holiday, got too close to the trailer park and voila! In swooped the alien dingoes.
4:50 am
lynxxx
I love the way Lori is rationalising all this
4:50 am
lynxxx
Posters stuck to the windows and flags on the verandah
4:51 am
LoriP
Reading the National Enquirer in my youth has really paid off.
4:51 am
nancethefan
i have my grandson's over (6 & 3) so i went to bed around 11pm but got up at 5am - now they are all back to sleep, including zane, but me - lol
4:52 am
Haz1558
You'll need a bit of extra rest to cope with the boys later on. I imagine they're lively!
4:52 am
nancethefan
oh, that's a big yeppers
4:52 am
nancethefan
& hey haz
4:54 am
Haz1558
Well now. I hate to say it but I'd better shift myself and get something else done. Treat of the week is ahead of me. Grocery shopping.
4:54 am
Atalante
not *gasp* Tesco? You may find Lickety there
4:55 am
Atalante
or do you have somewhere else that isn't tesco?
4:55 am
LoriP
ha ha ha ha shopping! Yuk. Have fun Haz.
4:55 am
Haz1558
I have not set foot in that store! I'm going to Sainsburys where they appreciate me and my money.
4:55 am
Haz1558
Not that I hold grudges or anything.
4:56 am
Atalante
good! I wasn't sure whether you'd had to give in or whether you had elsewhere to go!
4:56 am
Haz1558
See you later! (did I tell you I saw a branch of that store in Krakow? I felt sick at the sight) Byeee!
4:56 am
Haz1558
Atalante - I'm from Northern Ireland - we have loooong memories. *gone*
4:56 am
Atalante

elder
Sprite I will and it is required am nearly ankle deep in mess. lol
5:34 am
lynxxx
di9.60 grows from di7.32 (the 3rd)\
5:34 am

better ankle deep in mess than flat on your back because of overdoing things.
5:34 am
lynxxx
Sprite's spot on - take it real easy Elder
5:34 am
elder
Hello LoriP, surprisingly ok. A bit sore but to be expected the next move is too... move around more.
5:34 am

Sprite, your on form this morning, policing the gang. I had better be on my best behaviour. Watch out LoriP. LOL
5:38 am
sprite
I always keep a special eye on Lori. She is trouble, that one.
5:39 am
LoriP
You say trouble, like that's a bad thing.
5:39 am
sprite
I thought I said special, not bad
5:39 am
Murani
I'm sitting right here in the pb now - red ears and all ;-D
5:40 am

good Murani :) Don't forget to check the fridge and cupboards, lots of goodies in the pb.
5:41 am
elder
Hello Murani. I don't think we have met before. Welcome to the half crazed world of Babble.
5:41 am
sprite
that, of course, would be the other half of Babble.
5:41 am
Atalante
only half crazed?
5:42 am
elder
Sprite..got your mail and will be replying soon.
5:42 am
sprite
I think elder is in denial, Ata. But I am not, of course.
5:42 am
Murani
Thx elder - yeah half crazed is the right word! we have theis kind of site in Danish also and it's absolutely addictive
5:42 am
sprite
no hurry, elder, it will keep.
5:42 am
sprite
I am not addicted.
5:43 am
LoriP
Don't forget to tip the cabana boys
5:43 am
sprite
they always tip me, Lori...
5:44 am
elder
I say, half crazed as I did not want to focus too much on the insanity of some Babblers ( umm. that may be me)
5:45 am
sprite
I love the crazy ones.
5:45 am
elder
I sit here and words are not jumping out, this is not good given the total.
5:45 am

Sprite.... :)

Never mind I have 3 blank tiles already. So all is not lost.

5:58 am

lol chickie, tasty!
5:58 am

That's one of the problems of having children, it is not enough to love and feed them they expect to be clothed.
5:59 am
sprite
exactly elder! Finally someone who understands.
5:59 am
chickieo8
I think I'll stay with chickie lol

hi bab rab
6:06 am

From an early age they should learn to sow and cook. To go out to work as soon as possible to aid the family budget.
6:06 am
elder
hello Herin and Babble.
6:06 am
Atalante
absolutely
6:07 am

it isn't, elder. You always say that, but it is never true.
6:07 am
elder
Lorip.. would like to help out but I have 6 a's lol.
6:08 am
Scrabbler
Hello all, and Elder, I agree with you. From what I observe in my office I fear for the future of our world. So many kids are not being taught the life skills they need--too many wimpy parents.
6:08 am
elder
Sprite. Quite.:)
6:08 am
sprite
but some kids do, Scrabbler. Hi :)
6:08 am
herinfernallady
And a smacked bottom never hurt anyone

Hello Scrabbs.
6:08 am
elder
Herin .. ouch!
6:09 am
LoriP
G'd morning Scrabbler.
6:09 am
herinfernallady
What. Never hurt me
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Sprite, and I praise those parents tremendously for being repsonsible. But there are so many kids that I want to adopt.
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Sprite--are you and your family recovering from the evil virus?
6:10 am
sprite
too true, Scrabbler. We have had friends of our kids staying over who couldn't do the most basic things.
6:10 am
herinfernallady
I worked with a 20 year old that didn't know how to make a clothes washer work
6:10 am
Atalante
it's more than the parents issues though. it's wanting to learn and be independent and capable
6:11 am
sprite
slowly, Scrabbler. I feel much better but still tired, Caya is still very tired and has caught a cold now.
6:11 am
herinfernallady
Oh Sprite the poor love
6:11 am
Scrabbler
I saw a 1 mo old on Thursday, Mom's 3rd kid and her response to my question, Do you have any concerns about the baby?, was: He is not independent at all, I have to hold him all of the time or else he will cry for an hour when I put him in his crib.
6:11 am
sprite
yup, she has the raccoon look back again, and I don't like it.
6:12 am
herinfernallady
OMG Scrabbler did you call cdc
6:12 am
sprite
who expects a 1 mo old to be independent??
6:12 am
inge
Guten Morgen, Babblers, Herin, may I ask for the clue list? Please
6:13 am
herinfernallady
inge it isn't up
6:13 am
elder
My children were not angalss by any means of the imagination, but by the time they were adolescents, they could cook, and do laundry, I was so adamant that my son would not expect a woman/ partner to do his chores.
6:13 am
Scrabbler
I was speechless and wanted to smack her. But I was calm and reminded her that babies and children are completely dependent on us--what a concept.
6:13 am
inge
OK, I can wait
6:14 am
sprite
and then her 3rd child. She should know better by now. You did well, SCrabbler. Lots of self control :)
6:14 am
herinfernallady
Good way to go Elder. Scrabbler i would be so concerned about that baby
6:14 am
Scrabbler
Guten Morgen Freundin Inge. My high school German teacher, Herr Fies, just died.
6:14 am
chickieo8
gm scrabbler how are you? (hodag)
6:14 am
sprite
great things to teach children, elder
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I am concerned, and, get this, the baby's father was in the waiting room asleep! Mom didn't even expect/want him in the room.
6:15 am
inge
Did you contribute to his death by wearing him out in class?
6:15 am
elder
Scrabbs I have heard that told to me so many times, and when they a bit older stick them in front of theTV/ Video too keep them quiet. it is a recipe for disaster.
6:15 am
herinfernallady
sigh
6:15 am
sprite
my son is 12, he can cook quite a few things, he can (but usually doesn't) clean up after himself, he can do the laundry, he can do some chores in the house. And he still looks healthy and happy.
6:16 am
herinfernallady
airs
6:16 am
herinfernallady
Oh shoot sorry about that
6:16 am
sprite
sounds like a weird family, Scrabbler, I understand your concern
6:17 am
chickieo8
I agree with you elder,childre need a one on one attention not a D@# t.v.!!!!
6:17 am
Scrabbler
Nope, Inge. We were good students--several of us went through German level V with him. He was a cheerful character. In 12th grade he took us on a tour of Buffalo architectural gems and to lunch at a fancy restaurant.
6:17 am
herinfernallady
Inge as soon as there is a list ill send it
6:17 am
Scrabbler
Hi chickie--so you are the former hodag?
6:18 am
sprite
am sorry for your loss, Scrabbler
6:18 am
elder
Sadly, it is a common thread that I see and hear often. I do not look for perfection because that is not possible but the basic care, love and attention is so desperately needed for so many children. The word contraception comes to mind.
6:18 am
chickieo8
Yes,thats me.......:)
6:18 am

They dont make them that way any more, Scrab

Srabbs. it is sad to hear of the loss of a great teacher, but his memory will continue.
6:19 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Elder!
6:19 am
sprite
I think it is needed for all children, elder, not just for many. It takes lots of time and energy to really communicate with your children, but it is so worth it.
6:19 am
elder
Hello Inge.

6:45 am

thanx scrabs. the dr's told her she has anything between 9 months ( without chemo ) and 4-5 years with chemo. as she has two adorable girls ages 10 and 12, she has taken the hard choice of having the chemo.
6:45 am
Scrabbler
That is what she must do--her girls need her!!
6:47 am
grannyrose
i know scrabs, but she can be very wilful at times, she refused her second course of chemo 8 years ago, it broke my heart when she did. her initial diagnosis was stage 4 cancer, and i know you can't just walk away from that!
6:47 am
Scrabbler
My friend with brain cancer is struggling---is so debilitated from chemo that she must stop chemo and get rehab for 4-6 wks in the hospital. She is distraught and wants to be with her kids (8, 4, almost 1). It is heartwrenching.
6:48 am

oh, dear lord, scrabs, prayers for healing and restoration coming here way

6:51 am

how terrible, Scrabs and rose. :(
6:52 am
Scrabbler
I am doing whatever I can to help, but I feel so helpless to comfort her. How do you help someone face their death when they also have to say good-bye to their husband and 3 little kids? It is unbearably sad.
6:52 am
sprite
your being there for them is the best comfort you can offer, I think, Scrabber.
6:52 am
Scrabbler
And I don't want to say good-bye to her either--she is a sweet, loving person and incredible mother to her kids.
6:54 am
Scrabbler
Geez, we are bringing everyone down, Granny.
6:55 am
sprite
it is a sad thing, Scrabbler, but good to share it, right?
6:55 am
grannyrose
i agree with sprite, scrabs. back up her family as much as you can, in any way you can, me, i've organised a roster, so that my friend and her family have a home-cooked meal everynight.this means her hubby doesn't have to think about meals, and other parents form the school have organised the girls' lunches.
6:55 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I do need to talk about it because I have been so sad.

9:09 am
Uneaixoise
french for "powerful"
9:09 am
BabbleRabble
ne 8 is interesting ..... the definition within the definition: a person whose occupation is tending and herding cows.
9:09 am

the bad thing, though, is that now every career depends on computer skills... the last laugh is on us, lill!

BR, it's been nice seeing you around the last few days :-)
9:14 am
Uneaixoise
yes!! scrapbooks and photo albums I didn't know existed!
9:16 am
lilliann
thats why it takes so long to clear attics and rooms as we always find something to look at and reminice( i know it's spelt wrong, brain gone to sleep)
9:16 am
BabbleRabble
I put some of my most prized "joles" on my family's site and the sibs voted to ban me by acclimation
9:18 am
lilliann
they obviously have no taste then BR
9:18 am
Uneaixoise
reminisce, yes, but also, esp. for me, photos that take me into a new world--had never seen pix of my parents as newlyweds in their first apt . . . or pix of my dad with his flight buddies during WWII . . . etc.

9:21 am
Uneaixoise
Lilliann, one of my uncles fought in the Battle of the Bulge and would have had such interesting stories to tell us but he refused to talk about his years of service . . .
9:21 am
BabbleRabble
hello, Lori .... the words almost jump onto the word list
9:21 am
Uneaixoise
no, lillian, he was flight instructor . . . my uncle was in Belgium and my grandfather fought in France in WWI, tho
9:22 am
Haz1558
Hello Lori - fancy seeing us back again!
9:22 am
LoriP
It's flowed pretty well so far BR, loosely speaking, we'll see how this goes....
9:22 am
lilliann
what a shame, but alot of the servicemen were like that...i suppose they wanted to forget about alot of things
9:22 am
LoriP
Except for the a, that's been painful.
9:22 am
Uneaixoise
I think you're right . . .
9:22 am
LoriP
Hey Haz, are you done yet? Hope ya' enjoyed shopping. heh heh heh
9:23 am
BabbleRabble
talking often brings flashbacks of comrades injured or lost
9:23 am
Haz1558
Oh I loved every minute of it. Especially putting it away. It's the best. Still it's done, though the grid isn't.
9:24 am
Uneaixoise
I know, BR . . . for instance, I had a Jewish friend when I was living in France whose mother was in a concentration camp as a teenager . . . she never would say a word about her experiences
9:24 am
LoriP
Yes, more fun that beating clothes on a rock when the washer breaks.
9:24 am
lilliann
i worked with old sailors years ago and some of them spoke about the war but others didn't like to...some very funny stories and some extremely sad ones, makes me humble and very thankful to think of what men a nd women did for us in the wars so we have the life to day
9:24 am
Flask1
Hi all....clue please for ra7/28 please?
9:25 am
Uneaixoise
so true, Lilliann
9:25 am
Haz1558
For those who are willing to speak of their experiences, there are a series of books entitled 'Forgotten voices' - I've read Forgotten Voices of First World War and more recently 'Forgotten voices of the Holocaust'.
9:25 am
lilliann
hi flaskkkk, don't have that one yet hin
9:26 am
BabbleRabble
you put a p in front of some a's and you have a black cat
9:26 am
Uneaixoise
Haz, StoryCorps was here at our downtown library for a year and they were able to record many stories for the Library of Congress
9:26 am
Atalante
my grandfather was in Germany during WW2, and he never spoke of it - until he was dying, when he would speak in German completely subconsciously. Shows how deeply ingrained the memories still were
9:26 am
Uneaixoise
ata, that's amazing
9:26 am
BabbleRabble
some of the poetry from the wars is so compelling
9:27 am
lilliann
thanks haz, will get those. i've read loads of stories of servicemen and woman, soe agents, pows and about the holocaust
9:27 am
Boobear
are there any un clues?
9:27 am
Haz1558
I think it's wonderful that some are willing and able to share their stories, but I understand those for whom the only option is to try not to think of their experiences.
9:27 am
Uneaixoise
BR, I can only imagine . . .
9:27 am
Flask1
babrab was that a clue for me??
9:27 am
Haz1558
The Forgotten Voices series is powerful because you can follow individuals through their experiences. Talk about humbling!

Thanks Une - I'll check it out.
9:30 am
lilliann
thanks une
9:32 am
BabbleRabble
I cannot imagine what is going through the minds of a soldier who participated in the charge of the light brigade or a civil war charge of ww i trench warfare
9:32 am
lilliann
thanks une, i'll go on the library site later and see if i can order them
9:33 am
Haz1558
I know, Babble - but did they realise that they were taking part in history? I don't think you would have time to think beyond what you have to do to survive.
9:33 am
Uneaixoise
hmmm, not available from our huge downtown library . . . and only a couple of titles available from Amazon (USA) . . .
9:34 am
BabbleRabble
I expect they knew there was a good chance of dying
9:34 am
Haz1558
Which ones are available, Une?
9:34 am
Uneaixoise
BR did you see Ken Burns' documentary on the Civil War . . . simply horrendous conditions . . . just unimaginable
9:34 am
Haz1558
I would think so - and yet, you obey orders.
9:35 am
Uneaixoise
haz, WWI and WWII . . . and only hardback, not audiobooks
9:35 am
Aloyisius
Hi Babblers! Nice to see you, BR.. been a while

Atalante
There's a really interesting book called Tolkien and the Great War - all about Tolkien's experiences in the war, it's heartbreaking
9:36 am
Haz1558
I could certainly recommend the Great War one - haven't read the WW2 as yet. The one on the Holocaust has haunted me - strangely it had more effect on me than a visit to Aushwitz.
9:36 am

Hello Aloy.

i read edith cavells story the other week, she was a brave lady but didn't think of herself that way, she was just trying to save lives
9:37 am
BabbleRabble
a female soldier deployed to iraq has a greater chance of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire and more terrible is often redeployed with the same soldier that assaulted her
9:38 am
Haz1558
Will I get in trouble by being uncomfortable about women being on the front line like that?
9:38 am
Atalante
I am too, Haz, and have been yelled about having that opinion a lot!

9:38 am

Haz, I had the same experience when I visit Dachau . . . I guess physically it's changed so much . . . reading about it, for me, is much more moving (and horrifying)
9:39 am
Uneaixoise
*visited
9:39 am
Haz1558
Oh well, Atalante - that's the glory of democracy, you can have different opinions.
9:39 am
Atalante
I still have the opinion though :P
9:39 am
lilliann
i wouldn't yellat anybody about having their opinion but i suppose the women want to be treated like the men so do all the jobs they do
9:40 am
Haz1558
That's interesting, Une. I nearly felt guilty for not being more emotional when visiting Auschwitz - perhaps it has to do with the place being changed. It just seemed and seems unimaginable that such horror could exist.
9:41 am
BabbleRabble
160,000 women have been deployed ..... the stress of war is compounded by the threat of assault ... some take weapons with them to shower
9:41 am
Haz1558
That's horrendous Babble.
9:41 am
Uneaixoise
Haz, I felt exactly the same way--expected to be much more emotional--

I just found something neat. I copied the word list from BA to a notepad document so I could have it at hand without needing my browser. I wanted to keep the notepad document on top of Babble Expert, so I found a software called "Keepontop." works quite well.

the one before that is the superlative for something infrequently seen
9:51 am

The other pr9 has to do with laundry preparation.

10:35 am
Dorens
ty for keepng the secret haz. that really is, though, the most amazing pic of him, and he never looks bad anyway
10:35 am
praise2him
someone told me how one time but I have forgotten
10:36 am

10:36 am
Haz1558
I know, Dorens. He's here to keep up morale.
10:36 am
Dorens

Atalante

10:37 am
Atalante
though Spnagle is good for morale too
10:37 am
Dorens
oh yes, just not quite the same
10:38 am
Haz1558
praise - if you highlight the whole list, then click Copy. Once you have your Word page up, Click paste and it (hopefully) should appear.
10:38 am
Dorens
silverclaw is quite handsome as well
10:38 am
Haz1558
(Is it right-click copy?)

Dorens

Haz1558
I don't know, JBV.
10:40 am
Dorens

10:45 am
JBV

Do they get ramps bult or do they just concentrate on buildings that have been made disabled friendly.
2:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
daleks are only funny from the POV that they must look silly on the set when they're making the show. (one director in the early days reportedly aggreed to work on the show as long as he did not ever have to direct those popperpots!)
2:05 pm
mkg
would love some clues for the u words please. or the h words on left top of grid please.

2:13 pm
EvaNadine
NM! got it!
2:13 pm
Haz1558
di7/32 the last - means to disagree, di7/32 before it is the same, save for the penultimate letter. Make it a vowel.
2:13 pm
FMitch
I'd love a taste but I'm rather full mkg :)
2:14 pm
Haz1558
There is no si7 - highest is si6/30.

2:16 pm
Atalante

2:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
di7 = prefix for opposite + to give something a grade based on how you liked it

2:17 pm
Haz1558
See you flosey.
2:18 pm
Haz1558
Two of the te words mirror the structure of the se5 and 6 (think future and conditional endings in French)
2:18 pm
FMitch
It's messy stormy stuff kje, spatters of rain and strong gusts and cold.
2:18 pm
Atalante

2:20 pm

The rest of the te words are variations on a theme of seabirds or variations on a theme of speaking in clipped fashion.
2:20 pm
FMitch
Got some candles flickering away on my desk and a tummy full of cheesecake and coffe so I guess all is well with the world
2:20 pm

2:24 pm
Uniquity

2:25 pm

2:26 pm
Uniquity
Aha, thanks Ata. I don't know why I bothered...i will only want to finish now.
2:26 pm

2:28 pm
Haz1558
Oh well, I knew superlatively intelligent Ata would know it. And lynxxx. But I'll bet there are some people who didn't know. LIke there are some people who don't know about Lickety and the open prison.
2:28 pm
Atalante

2:29 pm
Haz1558
You don't think he could be doing a guest spot in 'I'm Lickety, get me out of here'?
2:29 pm
Atalante
silliness? its true!
2:30 pm
Haz1558
Can anybody check to see if Ant and Dec are still in the country?
2:30 pm
