3:24 am

Atalante

3:25 am

3:31 am

mrpresident

he might be away from his computer

3:31 am

mewtuo

true .

3:31 am

MonkeyGames

I just leave Babble loaded while I go do other stuff, so a lot of the time I'd show in the "who's online" thingie when I'm really out with the dog or something.

3:32 am

lynxxx

goodnite everyone, too dark to see the keys and too lazy to get off my *** to turn the lights on

3:32 am

sprite

that is one possibility, and another is that someone wants to play but isn't in a mood to talk. All perfectly acceptable.

3:32 am

MonkeyGames

Night Lynxxx!

3:33 am

mewtuo

skeliton .

3:36 am

sprite

I like the new one too :)
Tim is doing well, just started at highschool and is very busy, lots of homework, but he seems to like it a lot anyway. He is taller than I now! I think he feels confident enough about his english to start writing again, would you like that?

3:37 am

mewtuo

yes .

3:37 am

sprite

I will tell him.
How are you?

3:38 am

mewtuo

3:42 am

mewtuo

thanks .

3:43 am

sprite

Tim just said he will email you, if it is ok that he uses your mother's email addy and puts your name in the subject line?

3:44 am

perfect, then he will do that.

3:47 am

mewtuo

thanks i have to go. bye.

3:48 am

sprite

bye mewtuo!

3:50 am

sprite

why is it that one can rejoice but not joice?

3:50 am

mrpresident

i am beating myself up for starting this one

3:51 am

sprite

lol mrP. Why is that?

3:51 am

mrpresident

am exhausted sprite... my patience is so thin and I slept all day so missed time with the kids

3:52 am

sprite

aw darling, then just leave it be and take care of yourself. These are tough days.

3:52 am

BabbleRabble

Is "mewtuo" a pokemon character?

3:53 am

sprite

mewtwo is, BabbleRabble.

3:53 am

sprite

and it is good to see you.

3:53 am

mrpresident

babrab, you just missed luke... he was looking for you.
he decided to be different and spell it mewtuo

3:54 am

mrpresident

he is totally addicted to pokemon and bakugan at the moment... ah kids!

3:55 am

Atalante

mewyou instead of mewtwo :)

3:55 am

sprite

things could be worse, mrP, lol. Pokemon isn't that bad.

3:55 am

sprite

lol Ata, I like it.

3:56 am

BabbleRabble

a cat's name: youmew

3:56 am

sprite

lol!

3:57 am

sprite

mrP, isn't it funny, the difference between boys and girls? When I told Caya she could email with your daughter, she said: I like letters better.
And Tim just said: Great, email is much easier!

3:58 am

sprite

jou ne

3:58 am

sprite

sorry about that

3:58 am

mrpresident

ha! same with maddison!! she loves to write and put emotion pictures etc on the paper

3:59 am

sprite

wonderful, isn't it :) And I bet Luke will like emailing too.

4:00 am

mrpresident

he will learn to email now! and yes, I am sure he will love it

4:02 am

mrpresident

i have to try and eat... i just can't get food down. damn damn damn... bbs babblers

4:02 am

sprite

so when is the actual move, mrP?

4:03 am

sprite

never mind that. Take care, mrP, and see you later.

4:04 am

mrpresident

lickety is making me a sandwich now...
2 weeks tomorrow sprite. i am not looking forward to packing and unpacking again.

4:05 am

sprite

no not at all, I totally understand, mrP. Just take it step by step and don't look forward much at all. You have had way too many moves already and it isn't a fun thing to begin with. Just try and be good to yourself.

4:05 am

sprite

and sorry to be sounding like a mum again. Guess it is my nature.

4:08 am

mrpresident

we have only moved once in 8 years, but this will be hopefully the last one for a few years at least.
I am trying to be good to myself. it is tough with the meds gone now... it hurts through and through

4:10 am

sprite

I am move-phobic, lol, so every move is one too many. Sounds really tough about the meds indeed. Only plus of it is that you are slightly less likely to overdo things, because you really feel you shouldn't.

4:11 am

BabbleRabble

Is there no alternative to all or nothing, MrP? Is there not a non-narcotic pain med to give you some relief while you heal?

4:12 am

mrpresident

well, I really can't! It feels like chronic fatigue, it really does... but I know it will pass once all the crap is out of my system

4:13 am

sprite

guess you will have to give it time, mrP! Yet another demand on your patience, but it will get you there.

4:13 am

mrpresident

no babrab, that is the problem with oxycontin, it is twice as potent as morphine and nothing can replace it to help come off it.
I no longer have pain, so I no longer need pain meds... just have to ride this nightmare out

4:18 am

BabbleRabble

Well, if it hurts through and through, sounds like pain to me. I admire your will and strength.

4:19 am

mrpresident

i have visited some forums to see how others fair with coming off the meds, but the forum is also full of idiots looking to 'score' oxy, or those that are 'proud' of their addiction to 'recreational' oxy. It is unbelievable!
I just want to shake the sh** out of them!

4:19 am

sprite

that is really ugly

4:20 am

mrpresident

ugly, nasty, stupid... sickening most of all.

4:22 am

sprite

as a user myself, I wonder what the fun is? I mean, yes it helps making the pain bearable. But it doesn't give any good feelings whatsoever.

4:23 am

mrpresident

exactly sprite... it isn't fun and it messes with your feelings too.

4:24 am

sprite

I have almost halved the amount the doctor wants me to take, just because I so dislike the feeling of it.

4:25 am

mrpresident

good choice sprite, as long as you are fairing ok with the pain, you are good on the dose.

4:27 am

sprite

the pain is bad, but I don't want my body to dictate when I take a medicine. I started feeling ill when I was late, and that ill feeling began to start earlier and earlier. So I just knew I was building up an addiction. I don't want to be addicted, so the hell with it. Pardon my french.

4:28 am

mrpresident

oh sprite.. I feel for you hun ((((hugs))))... here's praying it gets better for you

4:29 am

sprite

for both of us, mrP :) And we have loving families and good friends and good roofs over our heads, so we will always find ways to feel grateful, right?

4:30 am

mrpresident

sure do sprite, although at times, my apathy is questionable because of the meds.

4:31 am

mrpresident

I can't wait to have empathy back no a normal level... actually giving a shit would be nice! pardon my french

4:31 am

sprite

there's this brilliant book by Ricky Moore, A Goddess In My Shoes. Somewhere in the book she says: if there is nothing at all you can think of to be grateful for, at least be grateful you do not have to eat living frogs.

4:32 am

mrpresident

LOL! i will sleep well with that knowledge actually.

4:32 am

sprite

mrP, just try not to beat yourself up about it. Apathy is normal, lack of empathy will pass. You will get through this and only then will there be room for building up energy, emotional space and enjoying things.

4:33 am

sprite

lol, yes, it helps me too. Just a bit of humour is somethings all you need to make it through another night.

4:33 am

sprite

*sometimes

4:35 am

mrpresident

words of infinite wisdom my friend.
I will have to go lay down again now... stay well and chat soon :)) thanks for the talk too

4:35 am

sprite

*hugs* and I enjoyed it too :) Have a good rest.

4:39 am

sprite

and with that, I see fireworks. Bye all, if anyone is still around.
Was happy to see you, BabbleRabble. Hope you are well.

I think it's a really nice grid, much more accessible than shorter ones usually are.

6:01 am

NonoNanette

true Haz

6:01 am

Eva

YAY! Fireworks! Nice grid this morning

6:02 am

Congratulations Eva!

It's definitely a feel good grid. No weirdos a't'all

6:05 am

Haz1558

Right, better head off again. I'll look in periodically but I have the feeling that clues won't be much required today.

6:05 am

Eva

Merp and I are traveling today but he doesn't know it yet. He's fine after the obligatory 10-15 minutes of yowling. If he could just give up the pre-car trauma of hiding, being dragged out from under beds, sofas, corners with wires tangled around him, his life would be so much more pleasant.

6:05 am

LoriP

Later Haz! Gee, sounds delightful Eva.... :)

6:05 am

NonoNanette

take care Haz

6:05 am

Haz1558

Poor Merp. Hope it goes well, Eva. Bye!

6:06 am

Eva

The broom (his mortal enemy) used to be effective in flushing him out, but he's gotten used to it. Now I have to resort to the vacuum cleaner which makes me feel like Lizzie Borden

6:07 am

NonoNanette

oh poor Merp LOL

6:07 am

NonoNanette

vacuum would send my two into the deepest hole they could find!

6:08 am

Eva

It's hard to reason with someone whom, no matter how much I love him, has a brain the size of a walnut and the frontal cortex of a flea

6:08 am

Eva

Yes, but once they are in the deepest hole it also sends them out into your waiting arms.

6:09 am

NonoNanette

nope they will stay there cowering for hours till they think the coast is clear

6:09 am

Eva

even if you stick the vacuum under the bed with them?

6:10 am

Eva

I know...too cruel for words

6:10 am

NonoNanette

i have storage boxes under the bed and they get in between them where vacuum cant reach

6:10 am

LoriP

Sounds like an intervention is needed.... Be firm! lol

6:11 am

NonoNanette

the one goes there everytime some one other than family comes in the house

6:12 am

redturtlehead

good morning, what a contrast from yesterdays grid....

6:12 am

Eva

tactical error. I try to be very nonchalant and close off all possible exits before he catches on. But he always realizes it before I can nab him easily. I just wish he wouldn't put himself through this...he's 15 and I get worried about the strain on his heart. He's normally very gregarious and curious.

6:13 am

NonoNanette

good morning Red

6:13 am

LoriP

G'd morning red, it was a feel good grid.

8:06 am

redturtlehead

Do you Obama fans realize that he has promised evreyting to everyone and will never deliver?

8:23 am

redturtlehead

inge McCain cant deliver what he promises either frankly.

8:23 am

redturtlehead

Now I will retire from Political discussion.

8:23 am

anyas_wrath

george bush promised alot and look where it got us.

8:24 am

inge

But McCain is more realistic, and has shown tthat he can make diffiuclt deciisons. Obama has never made a hard decision

8:24 am

redturtlehead

McCain has shown very poor judgement in his choice of a running mate.

8:24 am

inge

Anya daughter of mine, stay out of this

8:24 am

Anniebrook

Bush never delivered and got us into a war that we never should have entered. Obama is brilliant and will get the right advisors. Palin scares the heck out of me.

8:25 am

evvvie

difficult decisions like picking his vp?

8:25 am

inge

The only thing wrong with Palin is tath the media con;t like her

8:25 am

evvvie

and she's not too bright

8:25 am

Anniebrook

inge, Palin is a menace...

8:25 am

inge

* don't" I meant

8:25 am

redturtlehead

Uuuuh inge, she is a book banning, uneducated fool.

8:26 am

inge

not as much as Obama

8:26 am

evvvie

this is running the country not winning a beauty contest

8:26 am

KatieMcG

just to but in for a minute I have the wh7 are the wh8s related?

8:26 am

redturtlehead

Obama does not advocate teaching of creationsim in schools, nor is he interested in banning books.

8:26 am

anyas_wrath

I can see that I don't have to get involved, other smart babblers are arguing my point for me!

8:26 am

redturtlehead

He has shown himself to be a very cool customer under fire.

8:27 am

flosey

everyone has the right to free speech anyas

8:27 am

Anniebrook

Palin attended 6 colleges before she finally graduated...Mc Cain graduated at the bottom of his class..

8:27 am

inge

Well, I am done with babble and sudoku, and am investigating moving to another country NOW

8:27 am

redturtlehead

I met Obama in NH last June, not this Juen but last Juen when he was in Primaries, I was very impressed.

8:27 am

evvvie

yes wh's are related

8:27 am

elder

Inge, My knowledge is limited of USA politics. But thought Obama has spoken about distributing some of the wealth, ensuring all have health etc and he has good understanding of worlds politics.

8:27 am

KatieMcG

thanks evvvie

8:27 am

redturtlehead

YES KATIE they are related, shouting to make sure you see it.

8:28 am

anyas_wrath

Inge, what about Alaska?

8:28 am

evvvie

inge we should look together because if you man wins I"M moving.

8:28 am

inge

I do not want to live in a socialist state!

8:28 am

KatieMcG

thanks red, got them now :-)

8:29 am

redturtlehead

Inge, do you really think COlin Powell would endorse a Socialist? thats terrible rhetoric.

8:29 am

elder

MCcain, I feel has done himself no favours with the choice of his running mate. and socialism is not communism and you do not loose your rights of freedom.

8:29 am

dan2bit

inge - you already do. Nationalized banks & insurance companies, for one

8:29 am

redturtlehead

I'm thinking Canada, but the problem is that Canada is a bit chilly.

8:29 am

inge

What about Alaska? Is it gone? Has Obama returned it to Russia?

8:29 am

bubba218

Politics is not a comfortable topic for conversation, it is obvious by listening to the talk, that everyone is so entrenched in what they think, that the other person is not geting through. The operative phrase is don't bother me with the facts.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

inge, Obama will not, I repeat, not put us into a socialist state. He is going to try to make taxes fair.

8:30 am

anyas_wrath

No, I meant that you could investigate Alaska as another country to move to, since Palin wants it to be its own country...

8:30 am

elder

I think it says a great deal that some known and respected republicans are leaning towards Obama.

8:30 am

inge

Thansk Bubba, you hit the nail on the head. I am out of here. *poof*

8:31 am

anyas_wrath

yes, elder, William Weld

8:31 am

redturtlehead

It is actually a bit concerning how polarized the nation is. Its great that people are voting but I think there are going to be issues post election.

8:31 am

redturtlehead

and Colin Powell...

8:31 am

dan2bit

I have 4 ju words all related - any clue for the 5th one?

8:31 am

redturtlehead

the 5th one Dan is also related its the most of the ones.

8:31 am

redturtlehead

ju but more so...

8:31 am

Anniebrook

dan, make the ju more so

8:32 am

KatieMcG

I'm sure things will settle down after the election no matter who wins, but I have to say I don't enjoy the political debates

8:32 am

elder

Well everyone, have to go now, see you later.

8:32 am

dan2bit

ah I was missing the plural of the machine that makes ju5

8:32 am

redturtlehead

sorry....but for once, i did not start it.

8:32 am

Anniebrook

8:32 am

KatieMcG

8:57 am

Babs1

hmm...unpacking here too...from painting and carpeting..you move to new place for you dan?

8:57 am

Scrabbler

It is sunny and 48 here. I will go for a walk later.

8:58 am

redturtlehead

Unpack Dan, did you just move?

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

you've got some real winter on the way, eh?

8:58 am

Scrabbler

That's a lot of work, Babs, isn't it?

8:58 am

redturtlehead

We are approaching your temp Scrabbler, cold fronts. Florida, just not right.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

We have had brief snow twice in the last 8 days. Soon the big-time stuff will arrive and stay.

8:59 am

Babs1

omg, yes--it's a lot of work, and am grateful to have finally done it after years of putting it off! Still lots of boxes to motivate others in the family to unpack and find places for!

9:02 am

Scrabbler

I will get laminate flooring for my entire downstairs "sometime" in the next year or so after I save enough money. But the idea of moving furniture out, tearing up the carpet even beforehand...ugh.

9:02 am

redturtlehead

I want to redo my floor with that bamboo pergo snaptogether stuff, but thee expense!

9:02 am

Babs1

indeed! then there's trying to replace plumbing fixtures--faucets from 20 years back...major hassle and expense!

9:04 am

Babs1

I'm trying to keep doggies sleeping outside of bedroom to keep new carpet hazardous waste free--my furry friends (3 of them) not happy about their new sleep quarters!

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I just spent almost $1000 on various repairs here--plumbing, lighting, etc. And that is just the start of my to-do list.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Poor pups.

9:05 am

Babs1

know what you mean, Scrabbler..replacing a door, plumbing, some door handles on top of carpeting and painting...

9:07 am

Anniebrook

can I have a clue for se 6/18?

9:07 am

Scrabbler

At least I discovered a handy-man this summer so I have someone to do this stuff for me rather than use a plumber. Mr John Fix-It rocks!!

9:07 am

Babs1

that's great, scrabbler--having competent help you can count on is so good!

9:08 am

Anniebrook

Norma, what ladies carry on their arm or shoulder..

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, I slept in til 9:30--I was shocked when I looked at the clock, and the bunnies were eager for their morning salads.

9:12 am

Anniebrook

scrabbler, crossy was eyeing the bunnies

9:12 am

crosshair

i guess so! lucky they didnt start chewing on your nise;)

9:12 am

Norma

Can I have more Annie I have got my thick head on today lol

9:13 am

crosshair

nose

9:13 am

Scrabbler

They are all in sleepy mode now. Bunnies are, hm, I forget the word, but they are most active and eat at dawn and dusk. Maybe the word is crepuscular.

9:13 am

Anniebrook

pe + again what ladies hold their wallets in...pu***

9:13 am

Babs1

how many bunnies? scrabbler?

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Usually Bunny Sebastian jumps on me and licks my face when he wants me to wake up. But he must have known that I needed the sleep.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

4 bunnies: Sebastian, Gandalf, Tucker John, and Miss B.

9:14 am

Norma

Thanks Annie I was really being thick I thought I had monkey typed every possibility ;-)

9:14 am

9:15 am

Anniebrook

Hi FM!

9:15 am

Anniebrook

glad you got it, norma

9:15 am

Scrabbler

I just received a letter from the New York state House Rabbit Society about being a rabbit rescuer/fostermother, and I want to help but I don't know if I have the time/energy/space for more bunnies.

9:15 am

howdy fm:)

9:15 am

9:15 am

Hi Norma and FM

9:15 am

Norma

Hi Scrabbler

9:16 am

FMitch

not really here but always have one eye on babble. trying to make the grid last all day, hard to do!

9:17 am

Anniebrook

anyone want a clue before I head out the door?

9:17 am

Babs1

Scrabbler, do your bunnies run freely in your home?

9:17 am

crosshair

mmm free range bunnies....

9:18 am

FMitch

naughty crossy ;)

9:18 am

crosshair

crossy is bad;(

9:18 am

Babs1

ul clue annie?

9:19 am

Anniebrook

ul...stomach problem

9:19 am

Babs1

fish throw frenzy! thanks annie!

9:20 am

Anniebrook

babs, plural it too

9:20 am

Babs1

is ju7 a compound word?

9:20 am

Anniebrook

I dont count that ul 5 as a fish throw, maybe a tiny sardine

9:20 am

Babs1

oh...just got it!

9:21 am

Anniebrook

No, all the ju's feed off the same word

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Yep, free-range bunnies. Miss B (my foster bunny) took over the entire downstairs 3 wks after old Callie died in May. The boys each have their own bedroom upstairs.

9:23 am

Shirlockc

ju 7 is more of ju5

9:23 am

Babs1

Their own bedrooms? why wouldn't they all want to be together? are they, dare I ask, potty trained?

9:24 am

Scrabbler

Yep, my bunnies have always used a litter box, since my first bunny in 1983. Bunnies are territorial so it takes time to "bond" them.

9:24 am

Scrabbler

J is done--TY.

9:25 am

Anniebrook

and so I am out the door, bye, dear babblers

9:25 am

Babs1

fascinating...wish I could get my 5# dog trained...how do you litter train, just leave a box near their food?

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Bye Annie. Enjoy the day.

9:26 am

crosshair

updated quote in the profile:))

9:26 am

wildcat17

hello and bye annie

9:26 am

redturtlehead

ok taking advantage of freexing weather going to run outdoors. see you all for my last 18...

9:26 am

wildcat17

bye red

9:26 am

wildcat17

sein

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Initially the bunny needs to be kept in the cage with the box, then when they consistently use the box they can be free in the room. Miss B has 2 boxes down here and she will use whichever is closer. Bunnies are smart.

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi wildcat

9:28 am

Babs1

cool! great to know! would love a bunny, but don't think it would work with 3 dogs and wouldn't want to keep caged.

9:30 am

Scrabbler

It could work, Babs, but would be risky too. I have a friend with a dwarf bunny and a huge dog--dog gets scared when the bunny runs at it or thumps.

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Coffee refill anyone?

9:31 am

wildcat17

sure

9:31 am

Babs1

don't do coffee, tea? how many left scrabbler?

9:32 am

Scrabbler

Coffee for you, wildcat. I drink tea too, but have coffee first thing in the AM.

9:32 am

Scrabbler

52 to go.

9:33 am

wildcat17

that left u is frustrating me - no clues yet, just had to vent

9:34 am

wildcat17

9:34 am

Babs1

Scrabbler

Oh, duh, I thought I had entered both singular + plural.

9:36 am

wildcat17

I do that all the time

9:36 am

wildcat17

usually miss the singular

9:38 am

Scrabbler

My eyes/brain thought I got the lower U grey with the singular and that I needed a 3rd U....I am still waking up.

9:38 am

wildcat17

who needs the coffee refill??

9:39 am

Scrabbler

I am really delirious this morning--I slept too much, and when I do that I wake up in this foggy state.

9:39 am

Babs1

But have you seen her, hurshy? Big hair and shoulders.

10:24 am

Atalante

google her :)

10:24 am

Haz1558

Well, there's where you're at an advantage. I can't hear her without picturing her.

10:24 am

hurshy

no, i won't google her! i will not be cursed with haz's fate

10:24 am

FMitch

It was all big hair and big shoulders back then

10:25 am

parsec

Anyway you can't blame someone who saw fame in the time of big hair for having big hair. =P

10:25 am

SharonRA

it irritates me when I can't find 4/4's.

10:25 am

Haz1558

Oh, you must. There are some lovely portraits of her.

10:25 am

hurshy

i picture a moderately pretty woman with soft wavy auburn hair and dark eyes.

10:25 am

Atalante

she's re-released that record though, recently

10:25 am

i don't know what a lot of singers look like, i guess, since we didn't have cable, no mtv

10:27 am

JBV

you will never think of that song in the same way again if you see Kiki and Herb's version (check out YouTube)

10:27 am

hurshy

the couple of times i saw mtv at friends' houses, i didn't like it. the videos definitely detracted from my enjoyment of the music.

10:28 am

rururocks

Kiki and heb sounds like Jerry Seinfeld's parents names...

10:28 am

Atalante

some videos are ok, most are dumb

10:28 am

hurshy

speaking of versions, i heard a perfectly awful modern version of american pie in the supermarket the other day. don't people know there are some songs that were only good exactly that one way and should never ever be covered?

10:29 am

FMitch

Hi ruru :)

10:29 am

rururocks

I totally agree on that one...hursh

10:29 am

10:29 am

morning (here) everyone...

10:29 am

Haz1558

Is it that people are vain enough to think that they can do better than the original, or do they just think there's money to be made?

10:30 am

JBV

Kiki and Herb are a gay couple, "Kiki" plays the part of a female lounge singer, Herb plays the piano, quite talented, very edgy, not everyone's cup of tea

i think sometimes people cover a song because they just enjoy singing it, and, sometimes, they can do it in a completely diff style that does work - not trying to be better, but just putting a different spin on it. cf "in the still of the night" redone by boyz II men

1:36 pm

hurshy

i must go make my bean porridge and my bread. i must make sure i save a little bit of the porridge for election day when it will be 9 days old.

1:36 pm

phandmd

what does 9 day old porridge have to do with election day

1:36 pm

hurshy

nothing it's just a coincidence that the election is 9 days away and i'm making bean porridge

1:37 pm

phandmd

I know some like it hot and some like it cold, and some like it 9 days old. But not sure about the election day thing

1:37 pm

phandmd

oh, I see

1:37 pm

phandmd

I thought you had a reason

1:37 pm

hurshy

a confluence of rhyme and history isn't reason enough?

1:37 pm

phandmd

So, I have never had bean porridge

1:37 pm

phandmd

sure it is.

1:38 pm

hurshy

you should, it's yum-oh

1:38 pm

hurshy

unless you just hate the texture of beans.

1:38 pm

phandmd

well, i am not a fan of anything other than green beans

1:38 pm

phandmd

what kind of beans are used?

1:38 pm

transitionguy

1:38 pm

phandmd

1:39 pm

transitionguy

1:39 pm

hurshy

i used to only like green beans meself but since i knew beans are so healthy for ya i made myself eat em and they grew on me and now i like em

1:39 pm

transitionguy

we only got halfway

1:39 pm

hurshy

of course trans - many people finish every day.

1:39 pm

phandmd

I did not, but I got over 200 words

1:40 pm

phandmd

I should do the same Hurshy

1:40 pm

transitionguy

yeah, I think we got about that many

1:40 pm

hurshy

as for why 9 days old, i don't know the origins of the rhyme.

1:40 pm

torgone

They're good for your heart ..

1:40 pm

phandmd

So, were you just making fun and are not waiting 9 days to eat them then?

1:40 pm

transitionguy

yeah, but aren't they rotten by then?

1:41 pm

hurshy

i am going to eat my porridge for dinner, and for lunch at work tomorrow and so forth, but i shall save a bit for election day

1:41 pm

phandmd

then do you like it hot or cold?

1:41 pm

hurshy

it lasts pretty well.

1:41 pm

JBV

trans, when I see 300 + words, I do not hesitate to go to lickety's list and More words, finished but it was still a slog

1:41 pm

hurshy

i like it hot best.

1:42 pm

hurshy

1:42 pm

Hello. Back for more.

Well, enjoy, Hurshy. I will google it up and maybe I will make some too (someday

1:42 pm

JBV

sounds good, hurshy -

1:42 pm

JBV

i'm off to cut up some vegetables, have carrots and parsnips, going to roast them - any suggestions ?

1:42 pm

phandmd

am gonna run now and make an effort to work on that paper. I really don't want to

1:43 pm

JBV

I meant for spices or other ingredients...

1:43 pm

featherbee

hi again...scrabs, got any croup wisdom? i know about cool moist air, etc...nick just woke up from his nap and sounds awful.

1:43 pm

phandmd

nutmeg? allspice?

1:43 pm

Scrabbler

Add sweet potatoes, yams, turnips, brussel sprouts, and mushrooms--I do the veggie roast a lot. Cook in olive oil.

1:43 pm

featherbee

i gave him watered down juice instead of milk. he's sounding better now that he's been upright and cuddled for a while.

1:43 pm

hurshy

oh i kin tell you how to make it, it's real easy. get a bag of beans (i get 16 beans at stop & shop) and some stock and some hamhocks or bones and some onions of some sort (i like scallions) and i like to add potatoes. put it all in a pot and simmer for about 4 hours. remove hocks/bones. i like to puree some and then add it back in to thicken it.

1:44 pm

hurshy

and soak the beans a day in advance. you don't HAVE to but it helps.

1:44 pm

transitionguy

I'm gonna go, guys--happy babbling and see ya at the flip

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, feather--yuck. Is today his first day?

1:45 pm

featherbee

no, i think yesterday was, but today is definitely worse.

1:45 pm

Scrabbler

Bye transitionguy

1:45 pm

hurshy

ok, i am GOING

1:45 pm

JBV

thanks, scrabbler - I didn't think of the sweet potatoes - I think I have brussel sprouts, too - I usually sprinkle with Mrs. Dash and olive oil

1:45 pm

transitionguy

bye scrabbler

1:45 pm

torgone

I could be there about the time it's done ..

1:45 pm

transitionguy

bye hurshy

1:46 pm

JBV

bye everyone, good luck to all

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

Cold air, cold fluids/foods, ibuprofen, you can try Benadryl, keep him calm...call your pediatrician if he worsens as oral steroid treatment may be needed--2 days of prednisone help a lot!

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

Hi torgone

1:46 pm

featherbee

i thought benadryl would tighten the vocal cords or passages?

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

Feather...croup is worse at night so I am concerned that he is having daytime symptoms. I have a low threshold to start prednisone--eases the illness considerably and is safe when used short-term

1:47 pm

featherbee

this is his first bout of it. daniel used to get it a lot.

1:47 pm

featherbee

well, he's fine now. just was bad when he woke up from his nap.

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

Benadryl helps if there is an allergic trigger, but most cases are viral.

1:49 pm

Scrabbler

I just figured out re8 that was clued this AM when I was comatose.

1:49 pm

timhorton

lol scrbs

1:50 pm

wildcat17

and hi

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

Can you speak with your pediatrician? I/we pediatricians do not like the urgent care places for kids.

1:52 pm

featherbee

the office is closed right now. i could call the on call person, don't know if it would be mine or not.

1:52 pm

Scrabbler

Does that ever happen to you? A clue makes sense hours later and you go, "DUH!"

1:52 pm

featherbee

lol, yep all the time

1:52 pm

wildcat17

call. still better than urgent care

1:53 pm

featherbee

(i'm playing games with daniel at the same time as i'm typing too, multitalented)

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

Mothers are always multitalented and can multitask well.

1:57 pm

kje

is daniel winning?

1:59 pm

Scrabbler

probably, because feather is multitasking and I bet Daniel is not

2:00 pm

featherbee

we're onto our second game right now...no, wait, he wants to watch tv.

2:00 pm

featherbee

i just called the ped. the service said they're holding calls for about a half hour, but someone will get back with me soon.

2:00 pm

bbl

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo wildcat!

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Good feather. If it were me I would prescribe prednisone in order to make the next few days/nights easier. It takes 8-12 hrs for steroids to start working.

2:12 pm

Scrabbler

Am I all alone with the lurkers now?

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

I need a 5th W word. I assume they are all wh words.

2:14 pm

JBV

Beautiful, JBV! I have been thinking about doing a big pan of roasted veggies soon too--with lots of leftovers. But I am not shopping today---not even leaving the house.

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

I need wh7.

2:17 pm

JBV

wh 7 is the kid who is making more noise than his wh5-y brother

2:17 pm

Scrabbler

bzzn, I don't know how to do this, but I remember my mother making a pattern by taking apart an item she liked - do you have an apron to copy from?

2:36 pm

oodleberry

so yummy

2:36 pm

BzznBea

I'm not too good at that kind of stuff, pini.

2:36 pm

autumn moon

Bzzn - full front coverage, like a jumper style dress, tie at a high neck back?

2:37 pm

BzznBea

I would do that, jbv, if i can find one in the style i want.

2:37 pm

Pinikula

Bzz...what kind of apron are you looking for? Long (like a butcher) or just a "skirt" type...

2:37 pm

BzznBea

yes, autumn. But i was thinking of something that did not tie at the neck

2:38 pm

BzznBea

Something with arm holes...

2:38 pm

Full front, pini.

there is one kind that slips over your head and ties at the sides. The front is the same as the back only with pockets.

2:42 pm

BzznBea

okay, autumn. i will look at google. Have been looking at yahoo search.

2:43 pm

Pinikula

you can make the "butcher" style without having it tie at the neck (it would just loop instead and tie at the waist)

2:43 pm

BzznBea

That would be a good one, story.

2:43 pm

FMitch

Bea just type in apron patterns, the one I found was one of many links from google

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

I will ahve to go somewhere else though In April or I will commit tax fraud.

5:46 pm

kristinc

sounds like an excuse to take and extended vacation then Red

5:46 pm

storyteller

tax fraud sounds interesting. They are so busy trying to keep the USA from crashing they may not notice

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

I would like that but when I go on Vacation for longer than a week, my health insurance ends!

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

true story, but...

5:47 pm

kristinc

alright, I need to head off and be productive. I need to book train tickets for a trip to Portland next weekend. I am taking Zach down for his great grandma's 90th birthday.

5:47 pm

kristinc

hmm...that poses a problem then Red

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I probably need to eventually go home for real...

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

just not yet.

5:47 pm

kristinc

okay, until another day folks!

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

Ok going to look for something less exciting than the news.

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

The insurance is terrible anyway..

5:55 pm

kje

red, seriously girl.... stop the madness

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

But I do make a pile of money. and that right now is important.

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

UGH... I just remember the botched 2000 and get ill, due to the bad decisions... Now, I have to get sick again?... UGH, UGH, UGH

6:25 pm

I have been reading about Palin being a rogue, and etc... the divisions in that campaign are astounding but McCain has an appeal, I guess....

6:26 pm

regis

wi 6/30 PLEASE

6:26 pm

kje

i understand why the base likes her... she tows the party line pretty well... just surprised they like her for VP being so unprepared

6:26 pm

kje

wi - more like merlot

6:26 pm

hi everyone - i got a new desk chair today and feel i could babble for days in comfort!

6:26 pm

pam

Unprepared is kind, kje

6:27 pm

pam

great, pk!

6:27 pm

kje

nice pk.. so has it made your babbling faster

6:27 pm

pk

kje, my parents are part of the base, and they explained that they don't see her as being any worse than past VP candidates -- high praise, huh?!?

6:28 pm

pk

unfortunately not, kje

6:28 pm

kje

my parents are part of the base too... was over there on friday... lawn full of posters - egads - LOL

6:28 pm

pam

Guess they also don't mind McCain thinking the life of the mother can be stretched to mean anything... I ahve lost all respect for the lead candidate...

6:29 pm

pk

it's funny to me -- they couldn't stand mccain during the primaries, now they love him!

6:30 pm

kje

but the difference PK, is that the primary candidate is much more likely to die in office than any other we've ever had... so not quite the same

6:30 pm

kje

they don't love mccain... they love palin and are hoping mccain keels over (that is what some of the right is hoping for per their own blogs)

6:31 pm

pam

I think a lot of people are afraid of an African-American in office, a really sick and scary thought to me--all that hatespeak...

6:31 pm

featherbee

hey, kje, need a sacred heart in packrat? just got 2 in a row.

6:31 pm

pk

my dad is a vietnam vet, said he knew guys who were POWs, and they were never any use in the military after that. but now he wants one in the oval office.

6:31 pm

pam

My dad loves the GOP, but he's pro-choice, so thinks McCain would not ignore the antis part of the platform...

6:31 pm

pam

Hi, feaher

6:31 pm

kje

yep... gimme gimme gimme

6:31 pm

pam

That is funny, pk...sad, but funny....

6:32 pm

featherbee

yours. gotta tend to daniel, so might take a few.

6:32 pm

kje

my dad is ex-military too... they would have supported mccain with or without palin

6:32 pm

pam

Really, kje, they WANT Palin as president?????

6:32 pm

kje

give daniel my challenge!

6:32 pm

regis

thank you kje

6:32 pm

pam

I know an ex-military guy who is RUNNING from McCain, thinks he is no leader....

6:33 pm

pk

they would rather have palin than obama, they think he's a socialist

6:33 pm

kje

yw

6:33 pm

pam

Oh, well, we'll see how it goes....

6:33 pm

kje

they are reps. pam... there are lots of people on both sides who care less about the individual candidates than they do the party... lots

6:33 pm

pam

All I know is I LOVE Colin Powell right now....

6:34 pm

pk

nothing i can do about it Texas, red red red

6:34 pm

pam

I know, kje, and that is just the way it is.... They care about the party and not the platforms....

6:34 pm

kath, go to your stash. dropping in 10, 9, 8, 7....

6:34 pm

hello hello back for some more cluing if needed

6:49 pm

hurshy

and may i say, no offense, but if you spend more than two hours on this puzzle with the list, you should consider never playing babble again.

6:50 pm

hurshy

that was not directed at anyone, just a random bit of advice, in case you're wondering.

6:51 pm

hurshy

there was a 7 min lull there though so praps everyone IS finished and gone away

6:51 pm

kje

wow... that is an insulting way to enter the chog hursh - LOLOL

6:51 pm

hurshy

it's just a matter of facing reality

6:52 pm

hurshy

you don't see me playing volleyball, do you?

6:52 pm

kje

i play volleyball... and basketball... and tennis

6:52 pm

pam

LOLOL, hursh, you are direct, aren't you? Glad I am a) listless and b) not here for 2 hours, LOL

6:52 pm

kje

and suck at all of them

6:52 pm

pam

LOL, kje...

6:53 pm

hurshy

glutton for punishment, eh kje?

6:53 pm

kje

nope... just enjoy them... use to be better but don't give them enough time anymore

6:54 pm

hurshy

ah, well that's a difference, i never was good at them.

6:54 pm

pam

I used to LOVE volleyball... never great at it, but loved playing

6:55 pm

kje

i played all the HS stuff... i was in a small school

6:56 pm

hurshy

to quote amber from clueless "my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activities where balls fly at my nose"

6:56 pm

pam

on the quad in college... fun, like softball...

6:56 pm

pam

LOL, hursh

6:57 pm

hurshy

softball is not fun!

6:57 pm

kje

pam... we did a kickball league in baltimore... it was hilarious

6:57 pm

hurshy

it's the worst of both worlds! it's a team sport where you are on the spot individually when you are up at bat. so not only do you have to be in the spotlight, if you fail, you're letting the team down in a very visible way.

6:58 pm

pam

we did, too, kje, summers, I loved it...

6:58 pm

hurshy

*tries to stop thinking about it before memories of gym class start coming to mind*

6:58 pm

kje

as an adult i mean, pam.... just a couple years ago

6:58 pm

pam

I never took it that seriously, hursh... can't see well enough to field, the one ball I caught got me an ovation from the other team, too

6:58 pm

kje

let it go hursh : )

6:59 pm

pam

Oh, kje, that's great! I had heard it's coming back

6:59 pm

kje

LOL pam

6:59 pm

hurshy

you know what's a great sport? cat wrestling.

6:59 pm

kje

yep... several cities have adult kickball... the purpose is clearly just to have fun and drink

6:59 pm

kje

and to meet cute guys

7:00 pm

pam

works for me, kje! Gals, too, I bet 8-)

7:00 pm

hurshy

for some reason i never see any cute guys anymore. they've all gone and got ugly.

7:00 pm

kje

yes, definitely pam... pretty much like you would expect

7:00 pm

kje

LOL hursh... full of insults tonoght, are we?

7:01 pm

pam

ROFL, KJE, ROFL

7:01 pm

hurshy

how can i be, even if there are any guys here, they can just figure i haven't seen them, so it's not insulting :)

7:02 pm

kje

hmmm... ruru has a picture up... crossy has shown his... anyone else?

7:03 pm

hurshy

ah but i almost never look at profiles and i have not looked at theirs, so they are safe.

7:03 pm

kje

but feel free to insult them... I'll join in - LOL

7:03 pm

hurshy

'sides, why would they care what i think, i could be a fat old hag with a mustache for all they know

7:04 pm

kje

*handing hursh a razor*

7:04 pm

ok i meant to only jokingly insult myself there but apologies to any actual fat old hags with mustaches

8:36 pm

MaMaWA

I just wanted to say hey to everyone, started the grid much earlier today and only found 30 words, LOl and now way toooo tired to look

8:36 pm

narnia queen

Is anyone else offended by this OMG abbreviation or am I the only one?

8:36 pm

pam

LOL, mama!

8:37 pm

MaMaWA

Just taking a break from putting years and years of pictures in albums

8:37 pm

Pinikula

I use *OMG*...but I also know when I say it, it means "Oh, my gosh!" not the other...

8:37 pm

pam

would you rather I said it? oh my goddess.... I have never heard anyone say they were offended, narnia

8:38 pm

Pinikula

...and when I read it, I read it the same way.

8:38 pm

AsGreen

ooooh, Mama, come over and take care of my photos please!!

8:38 pm

narnia queen

thanx for answering pink

8:38 pm

MaMaWA

Oh my goodness is not offensive to me

8:38 pm

narnia queen

Is Oh my God offensive to you mama?

8:39 pm

MaMaWA

AS that is tooooo funny as I am just now in the last year putting 20+ yrs of pics in albums LOL

8:39 pm

Boobear

clue for re 8 please

8:39 pm

AsGreen

nor me... certainly not enough to bring it up regarding kje, when she isn't even here.... now, there are plenty of other things that would be offensive - but not worth getting into over the chat log!

8:39 pm

Pinikula

Holy cow, mama...bein' a busy beaver!

8:40 pm

narnia queen

well, as for kj I logged on and saw old chat from before.

8:40 pm

Pinikula

movie makers re***** their film (put it back together)

8:40 pm

MaMaWA

Oh my God is how I pray Narnia, and not ever offended by my God : )

8:41 pm

narnia queen

well, I am glad to hear your opinions. it still offends me and I would greatly appreciate it if it wasn't used.

8:41 pm

AsGreen

sorry narnia, this one is not at all meant to offend, but I'm not gonna change what I type here.

8:42 pm

narnia queen

well, then I won't either and where will that get us?

8:42 pm

pam

nor am I, narnia,,,, it's not a curse, or censored in g-rated films, let alone on an adult chat. Certainly, you needn't use it, but we all agree to disagree on a lot of things here...

8:42 pm

MaMaWA

HMMM..... I evidently missed something earlier , pertaining to omg,

8:42 pm

Pinikula

Narnia...unfortunately, that may be a lot to ask of everyone on Babble...let alone anyone in cyberspace... it's a common phrase (usually used in text msg'g) to reflect a sense of stupidity - so, my suggestion to you would be (IMMHO) is to read it and/or type it with the word(s) you prefer to use and not assume it it meant to be anything else. :)

8:43 pm

AsGreen

I'll do my best not to do it "to" you, but frankly, it's part of my chit-chat vernacular (sp?).... and it won't get us anywhere b/c I'm not interested. I'm done w/this conversation ;)

8:43 pm

MaMaWA

Is it the God reference that offends you Narn?

8:43 pm

narnia queen

that fine...but I will always say that I am offended as

8:44 pm

JaysonAlexander

I Like Pineapples

8:44 pm

Rows

i'm surprised no one mentioned that the G doesn't have to stand for "god" or "God"

8:44 pm

Rows

it could stand for "gosh"

8:44 pm

pam

as in oh my pineapples, jayson?

8:44 pm

Pinikula

If you are offended by it, Narnia...then you presumee that everyone is referring to "God"... that's not a good thing.

8:44 pm

Pinikula

I did, Rows....

8:44 pm

narnia queen

I agree that it is part of general vernacular. sorry that it is.

8:44 pm

narnia queen

I agree that it is part of general vernacular. sorry that it is.

8:45 pm

pam

I said goddess, rows... not all of us believe in a god, or God... or in a deity at all....

8:45 pm

AsGreen

ok, let's move on. Anyone see HSM3 this weekend?

8:45 pm

Rows

yeah well, it doesn't even have to be referring to any sort of deity

8:45 pm

pam

anyway, I think I said too much.... need to disengage...

8:46 pm

narnia queen

I do presume that it means omgod and franklly I think most people do.

8:46 pm

narnia queen

but fine....thanks for your opinions.

8:46 pm

Pinikula

then you'd be thinking incorrectly, narnia... as not everyone uses "God" in that phrase...

8:46 pm

JaysonAlexander

Gee i wish i was as grown up as all of you LOL

8:47 pm

AsGreen

hello.... hsm3 anyone?

8:47 pm

Twinkie

hi--i'm new (old, but haven't been on in years) and have forgotten how to find the page that tells you what each missing word begins with and the points each is worth. Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question--I looked under 'help' and it didn't say.

8:47 pm

Pinikula

hi twinkie

8:47 pm

pam

what is hsm3?

8:47 pm

MaMaWA

Seems as if I chose the wrong moment to chat , friends. I always mean oh my goodness , or oh my gosh, but dont generally type OMG , for the reason that it may be misinterpreted. Im not offended by anyone elses omg, I am just careful for myself and the children I am an influence on.

8:47 pm

Pinikula

Pinikula

I agre, As...

8:48 pm

Jindigo

I see " OMG" in IM's, emails, chogs, chats, blogs etc... it is common place. I think asking a group to refrain from using it is too much. (Hello babblers - popping in for my last 12)

8:48 pm

narnia queen

well, thanks mama I do appreciate your thought

8:48 pm

MaMaWA

And now I will just say a plain old goodnight all, and Happy Babbling ; )

8:48 pm

AsGreen

hi Jind!

8:49 pm

Pinikula

...I'm not sure I care to be "censored" (especially when its presumed to be something it's not)

8:49 pm

narnia queen

Jin...being commonplace doesn't mean we all have to accept it does it?

8:49 pm

Pinikula

night mama...happy scrapbooking!

8:49 pm

pam

hi, jindigo!

8:49 pm

AsGreen

ok, I'm opening the list -ready to finish and move on to other stuff :)

8:49 pm

narnia queen

No one is censoring you...I asked nicely remember.

8:50 pm

Twinkie

As, thanks for the tip (lickity, right?)

8:50 pm

pam

ASG, what is HSM3?

8:50 pm

Pinikula

But in a way you are by voicing your angst against it's use because of how you choose to read the remark.

8:50 pm

AsGreen

High School Musical

8:50 pm

Pinikula

...and on that note, I'll return to cluing...

8:50 pm

Jindigo

you don't have to accept it - but this is a PUBLIC forum not a private club. As i say to those who don't like whats on tv/radio etc... change the channel. You can ignore the chat.

8:50 pm

Boobear

8:51 pm

9:31 pm

Pinikula

some people have a underground tank in their backyards (remove t)

9:31 pm

Twinkie

thanks jin & pin. how do they do the scores? I thought you just added points together? how do they get 24 for that one?

9:31 pm

Jindigo

4 = 4 x1 5 = 5 x 2 6 = 6x3 etc...

9:32 pm

Pinikula

number of points on tiles x 2 (for 5 letter words)

9:32 pm

Pinikula

or what jindigo said

9:32 pm

Jindigo

the second being the point value

9:32 pm

Jindigo

WINE would be 5+1+1+1= 8 x1 = 8

9:32 pm

kje

read the help section above the chat log and it will explain the scoring

9:33 pm

Pinikula

hi kje!

9:37 pm

StabberMcShooty

9:37 pm

Pinikula

finding all the words???

9:37 pm

StabberMcShooty

...for someone who doesnt spend a large amount of time on games like this i mean

9:37 pm

Pinikula

or finding as many as you can...it's not really a "competition" per se

9:37 pm

StabberMcShooty

better yet, whats your score?

9:38 pm

Pinikula

I found all the words, so I also have 1397 points

9:38 pm

kje

finding all the words... or whatever goal you set for yourself... for some it is getting 1/2 way, for others, making it without help, for others, getting at least one from each tile, etc.... depends

9:38 pm

kje

but i got 1397 1st pini

9:38 pm
