Just1Mar

Just1Mar

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

2:48 am

mrpresident

re words are tricky cause of the prefix stuff... especially those rere words !! what the heck are those about?

2:50 am

VolleymomDee

2:51 am

3:49 am

I am severely limited by knowing that Ata doesn't call words weird very easily!

3:55 am

GroovyKiwi

im just severely comfortably numb that i cant even begin to work out monkeys lol

3:56 am

sprite

hehehe, always funny, you at the end of your day and I just starting mine :)

3:57 am

GroovyKiwi

my kieran for the first time i can ever remember went out trick or treating with a couple of mates

3:57 am

sprite

wow that rocks, Kiwi!

3:58 am

GroovyKiwi

3:59 am

as long as they stay together, they will be fine, Kiwi

3:59 am

GroovyKiwi

hes home now - only stayed out a couple of hours

4:00 am

sprite

so... well done Kieran and and well done mum.

4:01 am

sprite

we went to Caya's school yesterday to talk about the problems with that other girl. Teacher said he tried to talk with her and with her parents and that all he could do now was protect Caya in class as much as possible.

4:02 am

sprite

no use in talking to them at all. Some parents should get grounded. Seriously.

4:02 am

GroovyKiwi

has it got that bad spritey - im sorry i sorta missed out on a few convos over the last few weeks

4:02 am

mrpresident

hi all again :)

4:03 am

GroovyKiwi

mrp!!!!!!!!!! hugs happy babbling

4:03 am

sprite

haven't talked about it since I got my head bitten off by Haz, actually. Yes, it is still a big issue, which only can be the case because those parents keep feeding it. Left to the girls, it would have died down weeks ago.

4:03 am

sprite

wb mrP

4:03 am

mrpresident

sprite, it has got to the point that the teacher needs to protect caya?? what from??

4:04 am

Haz1558

Head bitten off? I think that's an exaggeration.

4:05 am

sprite

sure felt that way, Haz

4:05 am

Haz1558

Then know that it was not intended that way. I was really concerned that you had allowed yourself to be consumed by the situation in an unhealthy way.

4:06 am

Haz1558

But I've learned my lesson. I'll keep quiet in future.

4:06 am

Atalante

back!

4:06 am

sprite

the other girl is telling the weirdest stories to the other class mates, trying to isolate Caya. But also she is driving Caya crazy with complimenting her every 5 minutes (literally) on her shoes, pencil, years-old sweater, etc etc etc and following her everywhere.

4:07 am

Atalante

I have unhappy furbrats. Silverclaw has licked all the gravy from her food, and now wants more food so she can lick the gravy off that.

4:07 am

Atalante

Hobbit has only been given dog food for breakfast. Not quite sure what she was expecting, but she looked at it and then looked at me with huge sad eyes and walked off sadly

4:07 am

GroovyKiwi

unfortunately i think the child is being influenced by the parents and pretty much when it gets like that its very hard to curb

4:07 am

sprite

I had not, Haz. It is an ugly situation that has gotten us worried for months now. Even the teachers are out of their depths.

4:08 am

sprite

exactly Kiwi. No way on earth a girl on her own would keep this alive for so long.

4:09 am

sprite

and it isn't just in school, it is in the playground and with the riding lessons as well. So Caya is having a hell of a time, coping with seeing all places she felt loved and secure being influenced, except home.

4:10 am

sprite

and I do realise it is nothing compared to children without limbs who manage to cope, Haz.

4:11 am

Atalante

I don't think she suggested that

4:11 am

mrpresident

ah, bullying: alientating friends, being sarcastic and intimidating... time to have that child dealt with.
Letter to the school, copied to your education department... TELLING them what you want to happen now. You have rights, as does Caya.
in this country, I have the right to tell the school not to allow a child to be anywhere near my child, not to speak to, look at or talk about my child.
I hope it is the same for you.

4:13 am

sprite

we had another talk with the teachers yesterday, mrP, and they are taking the issue very very seriously. Today measures will be taken to bring the bullying and alienating friends into the open and dealt with. Caya will be seated in a better place. The other girl will be put on notice to leave Caya alone.

4:14 am

mrpresident

otherwise, threaten to sue them for not keeping your child safe and they WILL sort it out...
It is called damage control. I would be throwing those words around a lot whilst threatening them.

4:14 am

GroovyKiwi

thats good to hear - spritey if worst comes to worst id be happy to play surrogate aunt and she could come over here and have a school exchange and ill sponsor her

4:15 am

mrpresident

better still.... get an apprehension violence order :D the children's parents will have to deal with it then.

4:15 am

sprite

darn, crying again. I have seen my radiant little girl who almost hated weekends because she loved school so much turn into a sad and worried one that would love to stay home in my arms for the whole day.

4:15 am

sprite

Kiwi, you rock big time! :)

4:16 am

mrpresident

we have 5 bedrooms! she can stay with us too!!

4:16 am

GroovyKiwi

not sure how it would work but im sure we could make it work :)

4:16 am

sprite

thanks mrP :)

4:16 am

GroovyKiwi

i asked first lol

4:18 am

mrpresident

sprite, when does she change schools for middle/high school?

4:18 am

sprite

Caya didn't want to tell the teachers every time things happened, she was afraid they would grow irritated and bored by her complaints. She cried so much yesterday when I told her her teachers want her to come to them with everything and will support her through the whole mess and will do what they can to make things better.

4:18 am

oodleberry

MonkeyGames

Hi briefly! Just got Walter off to bed. Didn't know we were that funny-- we ended up making him laugh so much he fell over twoce and turned a very alarming color and tols us to stop for a minute. Then he wanted us to go right back to it. I have rarely seen him that amused-- and he in general easily amused.

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

Well Monkey perhaps you shoud rethink your career choice!

1:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

middle o = babble's babblet willow

1:25 pm

bichon

os 5/10 a willow twig

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

I guess... hard to find English venues that appreciate Ernie-toy-chewing-on-book humor though...

1:26 pm

redturtlehead

Only kindergarten venues!

1:26 pm

redturtlehead

ok trying.

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Those are pretty much ALL in Dutch... still, the routine WAS mostly visual.

1:27 pm

redturtlehead

ahh got one!

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

He also wanted to sleep with all three pf his stuffed macaws and na,med each of them Bert and Ernie, and said he doesn not want to name anything after his girlfriend (yes, he's in love).

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

She's an older woman though... she's over 5!

1:40 pm

redturtlehead

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

1:42 pm

redturtlehead

the one I have is a , 24 like a type of triable plsu the end of an 8 sided thing octa***...

1:42 pm

EvaNadine

thanks!

1:43 pm

bichon

red, what is a triable plsu?

1:43 pm

EvaNadine

how about the bottom N?

1:44 pm

redturtlehead

Oh gosh, how eva ever got that...

1:44 pm

redturtlehead

Sorry. I meant a type of triangle plus...

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

i was already noodling, but your clue helped me with the ending :)

1:44 pm

redturtlehead

one i have is not close but Ne**

1:44 pm

bichon

ne 4 is close by and the 5/10 is a chemical or ne + you're on a ***l

1:45 pm

EvaNadine

the close one is from the N in the middle row...

1:45 pm

bichon

thanks, red

1:45 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh.

1:45 pm

redturtlehead

the other one is plural nostrils..

1:46 pm

EvaNadine

my armis so sore from carving pumpkins last night!

1:46 pm

redturtlehead

Did you do fancy ones Eva?

1:47 pm

EvaNadine

kinda-sorta...nothing TOO impressive...
i did a medium-large orange one with kinda scrolly details on it...
then i did a simple white one to look like a ghost...

1:50 pm

redturtlehead

That sounds fancy!

1:50 pm

redturtlehead

do you have the good candy?

1:51 pm

EvaNadine

i do, but i gave away a lot of it at work today!
doesnt really matter though because (1) we will be going out tonight ourselves and (2) i dont expect to get many kids at our place...

1:52 pm

EvaNadine

one bag was starburst, one bag was a mix of airheads, lollipops, and fruity mentos, and the other bag was a mix of peanut butter cups, hersheys kisses, and the hersheys miniatures...

1:52 pm

redturtlehead

At my complex, they give you a big orange sign you can put on your door if you want trick or treaters. It should be awild night, for the dog specially.

1:52 pm

EvaNadine

i dont think we get anything like that at our place...
though, id think kitting the apartments would be a big bang for your buck!

1:53 pm

redturtlehead

I imagine it would be people are so concerned about safety these days...

1:54 pm

EvaNadine

growing up, our street didnt have many houses...
mom would drive us to the townhouse section of the neighborhood -- we could get a lot of candy with minimal walking, and she could see us from the car, so she got to stay warm...
it was a win-win for us all!

1:55 pm

bichon

I grew up in a city housing project [for middle-income] and we just went from floor to floor collecting our treats

1:59 pm

redturtlehead

I grew up in a small town, we used to go all over the place. I do recall though one year having to wear my winter coat with a butterfly costume and being very angry. the costume looked lumpy!

2:02 pm

bichon

crosshair

3:22 pm

Scrabbler

phantom = jaguar

3:22 pm

kje

very well, scrab... my nerves calmed once i started talking... then it was fine... really good participation when I asked for it, and good comments afterwards... several people said it gave them a lot to think about in improving transitional care at their sites... so that is pretty good... mission accomplished

3:22 pm

bichon

Crossy, as I may have mentioned, I have a friend starting chemo next week. He needs lots of encouragement. He doesn't want to have a port inserted. Is he being reasonable at all?

3:22 pm

Scrabbler

How about peanut butter or ice cream?

3:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee for you, kje!

3:22 pm

crosshair

pb no,vanillia ice cream yes

yes,i was offered a stent and did not use it

3:23 pm

kje

doctors

3:23 pm

kje

it was an Updates In Internal Medicine CME course sponsored by the university

3:23 pm

bichon

Would it have been easier with one?

3:23 pm

Scrabbler

There is an increased risk of a blood infection with a port, however it makes IV access much easier.

3:23 pm

crosshair

it iss a bit easier

3:23 pm

crosshair

as scrabbs says

3:24 pm

AsGreen

cme - continuing ed?

3:24 pm

crosshair

but i dont like the feeling of it

3:24 pm

continuing medical education... sorry, slip into jargon easily

3:24 pm

AsGreen

pb for crossy!

3:24 pm

AsGreen

oh, and bichon

3:24 pm

bichon

he doesn't have cooperative veins

3:24 pm

AsGreen

I figured

3:24 pm

AsGreen

that's great- I'm glad it went so well

3:24 pm

crosshair

crossy hunts frantically for the word

3:24 pm

Scrabbler

If there are good veins---more likely in a non-overweight guy--then that helps.

3:25 pm

kje

darn... i had that one

3:25 pm

crosshair

then he should go with it bichon

3:25 pm

AsGreen

4:13 pm

redturtlehead

4:14 pm

pk

let's see, they were 2 for $4, and i don't want to run out so i probably overdid it: reese's pb cups, twix, milky way, hershey's, m&ms, smarties and kit kats, 1 bag of each

I got a big start last night, tyger

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

but jilli, how did they shape and light it??

4:30 pm

lil*monkey

sigh... not even halfway yet

4:30 pm

angelinaxox

hi tyger

4:31 pm

Scrabbler

Yummy, red.

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

oh, okay. and this isn't a huge grid

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

I'm just past halfway, monk

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

turtle, just divide it into servings, and freeze most. otherwise you'll be sick of it before you're done

4:32 pm

redturtlehead

Ok not making a political statement, but I am watching news and the MAP that they have on CNN that pulls out down to the states counties is pretty cool!

4:32 pm

redturtlehead

I shoudl tyger, but...I am lazy.

4:32 pm

jillibus

the "nose" is the stem of the round punkin, so there may be a hole in the bottom for the lighting?

4:33 pm

tygerbryght

I bought a big (for me) package of ground sirloin this week, and I divided off two 2-patty amounts to freeze. that left me with 3 patties. I've had two. I'll have the last burger tomorrow or Sunday, then wait a while before I thaw one of those other packs

4:33 pm

jillibus

or in the back of the picture

4:34 pm

jillibus

I do a lot of that making stuff and freezing single portions

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

tyger so organized.

4:34 pm

tygerbryght

I'm lazy, too, turtle, but if I didn't, most of the meat would go bad. your leftover lasagne won't be all that good toward the end

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

I just eat until its gone. I could probably eat same thing every day with no problem.

4:35 pm

JBV

anyone have a clue for the bottom i - I have in 4/4 and in 6/18

4:35 pm

tygerbryght

not really that organized - just hate waste :)

4:35 pm

tygerbryght

how many servings would you say you've got there?

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

I probably have about 5 more.

4:36 pm

tygerbryght

babe, you DO know that cooked food is yummy to bacteria?

4:36 pm

tygerbryght

4:36 pm

jillibus

Oh yes, that is why you have to heat it waaaay up.

4:36 pm

redturtlehead

I also have a cat iron stomach after those years in africa.

4:37 pm

tygerbryght

but the interim activity degrades the taste

4:37 pm

JBV

thanks, jilli, I actually found it just fooling around

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

jilli, think of the beginning of a type of triangle and end in an eight sided thing octa***.

4:37 pm

tygerbryght

a cat iron? that's new to me ;D

4:37 pm

JBV

red, where were you in Africa? I forget which country

4:37 pm

jillibus

tyger, I have it -- was giving the count for JBV

4:37 pm

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh sorry Jilli.

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

angelinaxox

i have en 7 x 2 and gr 7, could someone tell me what the other two sevens begin with?

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

jillibus

my last 2 are the so4/4 (second one) and 5/14

4:39 pm

DR1965

5:57 pm

tygerbryght

5:57 pm

tygerbryght

it's a Hindu concept

5:57 pm

LadyNatts

Oh great... my husband is Hindu... how embarrassing will this be?

5:57 pm

tygerbryght

yu4 is an age, or an eon, or something of the sort

5:57 pm

Dorens

5:58 pm

tygerbryght

yep, doren

5:58 pm

Dorens

true tyger... not awful

5:58 pm

LadyNatts

oh, thanks, dorens

5:58 pm

tygerbryght

actually, it's the alternate spelling of ju4 & 5

5:58 pm

tygerbryght

at least, I think so .....

5:59 pm

tygerbryght

I didn't look up the ju4, so no guarantees

5:59 pm

LadyNatts

well the plural doesn't work on the ju version

6:00 pm

tygerbryght

oops, no I was wrong the ju4 is a Latin plural

6:00 pm

tygerbryght

I just looked

6:00 pm

tygerbryght

6:01 pm

LadyNatts

LadyNatts

6:07 pm

tygerbryght

lo5: lo + faster than walk (past tense)

6:08 pm

LadyNatts

:) I am not much into radiation detection terminology... thanks, tyger!

6:08 pm

tygerbryght

then plural (but it's not a word)

6:08 pm

tygerbryght

yvw :chuckle:

6:09 pm

LadyNatts

oh geez... forgot I was to make dinner reservations... brb

6:09 pm

tygerbryght

The first lo6 is what you might call a rental car.

6:11 pm

LadyNatts

that was quick... yes, tyger, I have all the Ls now

6:12 pm

JBV

I have 6 a's from the lowest a (2nd row from bottom) - one ae, 2 an's and 3 ar's - need some help please

6:12 pm

LadyNatts

6:13 pm

JBV

yes, tyger but that;s from the upper a

6:13 pm

tygerbryght

yvw, natts

6:13 pm

milesndale

ag7 is growth medium

6:13 pm

tygerbryght

I'm not good at telling where a given word starts, jbv; sorry

6:14 pm

milesndale

an extension of the ag4

6:14 pm

JBV

are there any AL words?

6:14 pm

tygerbryght

there's a bunch of an words. what do you have of those?

6:14 pm

tygerbryght

no al words

6:14 pm

JBV

I have a total of 6 an's but they are not all from the bottom

6:14 pm

LadyNatts

I have 2 an4 and 1 an5

6:15 pm

tygerbryght

is the an5 a spice, or a plural of an an4?

6:15 pm

LadyNatts

spice

6:16 pm

tygerbryght

I do all my grids from Lickety, so I don't even pay attention to where they start

6:16 pm

tygerbryght

okay, then, the other an5 is a Latin plural of an4/4 right below the spice

6:17 pm

tygerbryght

there's an5: a + not far

6:17 pm

tygerbryght

which is actually the first an5, for a total of 3

6:19 pm

LadyNatts

there are 2 aj's I'm missing... those are probably the ones JBV is looking for

6:19 pm

tygerbryght

my eyes are starting to bother me, so I'll have to take a break soon, probably in about 15 minutes

6:19 pm

LadyNatts

fair enough, tyger... you've been awesome!

6:19 pm

tygerbryght

aj 5 & 6 are a plant and plural

6:19 pm

JBV

Lady, I have aj 4, 5, and 6 - are there more?

6:20 pm

tygerbryght

aj5: aj + single letter for not me + abbreviation for the state Atlanta is capital of

6:20 pm

tygerbryght

only 3 AJs

6:20 pm

LadyNatts

okay... guess I was mistaken... I am missing the 5 and 6, so I thought they may be coming from that lower A

6:20 pm

JBV

how about ae - i have only one - is that it?

6:20 pm

tygerbryght

they have to come from the lower a, or it wouldn't work

6:21 pm

LadyNatts

now, I am not missing them! thanks again, tyger

6:21 pm

tygerbryght

now that I look at it :)

6:21 pm

tygerbryght

Brit prefix for plane

6:21 pm

tygerbryght

that's the ae4

6:21 pm

JBV

no, tyger they come from the middle row a and go the left

6:22 pm

tygerbryght

they can start from the bottom. that's how I found them :)

6:22 pm

JBV

but I am still missing one a from that lower row I have 8 out of 9 .... hmm...

6:22 pm

tygerbryght

maybe you'd better go to Lickety?

6:23 pm

JBV

yes, tyger, at this point that's what I must do, but it seems a shame, I have only 7 left, but here goes....

6:23 pm

LadyNatts

got it, JBV!!! it's an ar5 between the first ar4 and the plural of it

6:23 pm

LadyNatts

it's a latin plural

6:23 pm

tygerbryght

sorry I can't help you more, but I just don't grok doing it the way you do

6:24 pm

JBV

oh, thanks, Lady, you saved me from the list - i'm trying to break a record here

6:24 pm

LadyNatts

woohoo JBV!

6:24 pm

JBV

thanks for being patient, tyger, you were great

6:24 pm

LadyNatts

tyger, do you have time to help me with the ag7 and the ag6?

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

Back from phone with parents. My poor Mam had a bad time at her Mom's funeral.

6:24 pm

JBV

not celebrating yet, still have 6 to go

6:25 pm

tygerbryght

6:25 pm

JBV

oh, very sorry to hear that red, my condolences

6:25 pm

tygerbryght

so sorry, turtle

6:25 pm

LadyNatts

oh dear, red... were they that unkind to her?

6:25 pm

tygerbryght

ag7: ag4/6 + the flower of love (subtract one letter)

6:26 pm

tygerbryght

ag6: one of 2 plurals (Latin and English) for ag5

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

One borhter wouldnt speak to her...but thats because of his wife who is not nice.

6:26 pm

tygerbryght

why would anyone be unkind to someone at their mother's funeral???? that's crazy, stupid, ugly .....

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

BUt she seems to be taking it well. My Dad is with her.

6:26 pm

LadyNatts

6:27 pm

tygerbryght

GGGGGggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr. they'd better be glad I wasn't around!!!!

6:27 pm

LadyNatts

yes, I remember your saying that. well, it's over now... she can move on.

6:27 pm

redturtlehead

I have one very cruel aunt by marraige. She seems to feel that everyone should love her because she did this and that.

6:27 pm

JBV

that's very unfortunate, red, funerals either bring out the best or the worst in people

6:28 pm

tygerbryght

what did she do that was so "wonderful"??

6:28 pm

7:12 pm

phandmd

He dressed as a serial hugger

7:12 pm

AsGreen

HI! Kids are out trick or treating, I just got home - and we ran out of candy! My dh is at the store buying more - so I'm sneaking in a few words

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

my lighta re out. i heard some kids earlier but looked out and did not see any activity. i think everyone was too busy celebrating the phillies.

7:12 pm

BzznBea

Had to shut off th light at 7:00.

7:12 pm

JBV

I know what you mean, phand. 13 is right on the edge of being too old to trick or treat

7:13 pm

JBV

then you begin to worry about them out in the dark

7:13 pm

redturtlehead

yaaay phillies!

7:13 pm

phandmd

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:13 pm

BzznBea

I didn't give out candy. Gave out note pads, pencils, stamps and goldfish.

7:14 pm

phandmd

yeah, he has a sign that says "free hugs" and he sort of covered his face with a scraf, to make him look sinister

7:14 pm

Anniebrook

Owl, is, vowel, poly***

7:15 pm

phandmd

that was about as original as his diseased lung from a few years ago

7:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty annie.

7:15 pm

phandmd

but a lot simpler to make

7:16 pm

Anniebrook

a diseased lung...that is original...one of my grandsons is trick or treating as an unidentified traveling salesman....

7:16 pm

phandmd

My 15 year old went to a harvest fest party to help and she dressed up fancy, wore glasses that spelled "cool" and had a sign with todays date on it. Can you figure out what she is?

7:16 pm

Anniebrook

and his father is not a salesman..

7:17 pm

phandmd

that's funny Annie

7:17 pm

AsGreen

my son is Hannah Montana -lol - and my daughter is a birthday girl with all her friends dressed up as slices of cake

7:18 pm

phandmd

Wow, that sounds like fun; what cooperation!

7:18 pm

JBV

very clever, AsG

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

Phand, what is your daughter? I am clueless.

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhhh.

7:19 pm

phandmd

7:19 pm

phandmd

exactly, Red

7:19 pm

AsGreen

the cake is amazing - my friend is very creative and got foam board for all the pieces and felt - glue gun and all. My daughter was not into it, but LOVED the idea of being a bday girl

7:20 pm

AsGreen

hubby is home - bbl

7:20 pm

phandmd

7:39 pm

Minveryork

Thank you jillibus! Friday is my favorite icon day.Too bad more babblers do not give grid clues on Fridays.

7:39 pm

7:43 pm

Minveryork

I know YOU always do jillibus.Always hope to see you on Fridays so I can see your icon clue.But I like your icon too today. It is very appropriate for Halloween.

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:43 pm

7:46 pm

jillibus

it's still early here, AG, and has stopped raining, so I hope the littl'uns will have fun -- they don't come here, though -- none in the rather isolated area

7:46 pm

wildcat17

have had 2 customers all night

7:46 pm

wildcat17

no one is out here

7:46 pm

Minveryork

I used to be faithful to icon themes until I decided to honor celebrity birthdays.Like to see whose b-day it is. Also, since Sprite does them,I do not always know what they are. When I log on, I look at icons in chat log to find out theme. If I do not see any, then I do a celebrity birthday instead.What is tomorrow's theme

7:48 pm

jillibus

min, it's Gods and Goddesses. If you go to Rankings, Sprite is always on top and you can get the theme there, or if you catcher here you can put her in your My Friends and always have her available.

7:49 pm

Minveryork

Oh, I didn't know I could get it from rankings.That is good to know. So I'll check that when I log on. Thanks

7:49 pm

jillibus
