1:29 am

loredana

hi lynxxx and stewart hugs

1:29 am

sprite

errrr magmom... because you need some time for yourself?

1:29 am

rururocks

stid says this grid is stoopid all the time... how come enable won't take it

1:29 am

P.J.

hi lyn !:0)

1:29 am

loredana

maga must be because you dont like to sleep or you are like the rest of us addicted

1:29 am

joey

hi sprite and everyone else, here babbling at what is late for some peeps

1:29 am

sprite

because enable, however stoopid, still can spell?

1:30 am

lynxxx

hi PJ/Chickie/Hodag - black is back again

1:30 am

LadyNatts

I really should have saved some for tomorrow, but I just can't sleep.

1:30 am

magazinemom

the same reason it won't take "mooshy"??

1:30 am

jillibus

just read PAV's profile -- all the guys look alike, but the pic is squished...

1:30 am

P.J.

it is fine here :)

1:31 am

loredana

yes jilli but which one is PAV

1:31 am

sprite

PAV, I would say, back row, 2nd from the left.

1:31 am

jillibus

that's what I mean -- they all look alike, so which one is PAV?

1:31 am

sprite

LadyN, not being able to sleep s*cks, but it is nice to have you around.

1:31 am

PAV3

I saved i t my hard drive and I don't know why it's squished...

1:32 am

sprite

because the original picture isn't square I think, PAV.

1:32 am

PAV3

2nd from left is my older balding brother

1:32 am

loredana

Sprite shy have we picked the same one??? lol

1:32 am

sprite

and PAV, was I right?

1:32 am

jillibus

It's squished because it's a rectangular picture, I would guess, and has to fit into a square.

1:32 am

PAV3

hmmmm, how to fix it?

1:32 am

loredana

not shy but why

1:33 am

rururocks

got the ma 8 finally

1:33 am

jillibus

there's a way using Paint, and an easier way with photoshop

1:33 am

sprite

lol on this pic he looked the cutest and we think you are sweet, PAV. So, which one are you?

1:33 am

loredana

must be the blueboy then PAV

1:33 am

Uneaixoise

and the cavemen give a cheer for ruru!

1:33 am

MayneGuy

big hairy ruru.

1:33 am

loredana

1:34 am

rururocks

Uneaixoise

LOL!

1:44 am

herinfernallady

1:45 am

herinfernallady

1:45 am

sprite

lol lady, so you love him?

1:45 am

jillibus

1:47 am

herinfernallady

1:47 am

PAV3

1:47 am

sprite

BabbleRabble, saw your icon when I was on my friend's list. A magical icon and a beautiful text in your profile. The top one in particular. Thanks for sharing.

1:48 am

herinfernallady

Oh I dont know if you know AKnitter?

1:48 am

sprite

yes I do

1:49 am

PAV3

good eve mi'Lady...

1:49 am

herinfernallady

Um on Monday or Tuesday she had a fall. She has broken her hand/wrist and hip. She is Trifs cousin. Trifs has her email up if you wish to send one to her then she will pass it on

1:50 am

sprite

farthest to the right?

1:50 am

herinfernallady

HI Lovely Pav

1:50 am

PAV3

that's the one who banished moi and the poopies...

1:50 am

jillibus

oh, poor Aknitter!

1:50 am

sprite

oh my, poor aknitter! That is totally lousy. Thanks for the message, lady

1:51 am

sprite

ok PAV, I give. Please tell me which one is you.

1:51 am

herinfernallady

And Justamar has broken her foot, Kierlexx her ribs. So can you lot please be a bit more careful. Ta

1:51 am

PAV3

well we're still wearing blue...

1:52 am

PAV3

and I have my hair to protect by brain innards from flying out or is it fleeing out...

1:52 am

jillibus

so you're the one on the right in the bluejeans?

1:52 am

sprite

are you the biggest? Tallest?

1:53 am

herinfernallady

Pavs is the one in the white tee

1:53 am

sprite

good grieve lady, what are all those babblers doing to themselves?

1:54 am

sprite

no that is the one who banished PAV and the poopies. So that is a criminal.

1:54 am

P.J.

'

1:54 am

herinfernallady

Seems Kier slipped on her stairs missed the last 6 steeps, Justa was piffed into a pool skylarking around (not her faut) and Ak we think may have slipped)

1:55 am

herinfernallady

OK Pav is the one in the black t next to the guy in blue

1:55 am

lynxxx

Sprite - that grieve is past tense of grief

1:55 am

herinfernallady

steps even

1:57 am

sprite

lynxxx... so it is to grief, grieve, grieved?
And good grief is with an F?

1:57 am

PAV3

I'm wearing BLUE...the farthest right is David, the one who banished the poopies from his home and we had to flee from Albuq early...the one on the left wearing brown is Phillip Anthony, the other PAV, who is re-marrying in Oct to a VERY nice lady, but am not sure Ican make their wedding...:(...and I still have my full head of hair...which leaves me ? wearing my dark blue sweater cuz it was colder inside the house than out...the one in lighter blue with John Jay Mustangs is quite proud of his kids...and rightly so, but he's the one who goaded the other into banishing us. so we won't speak of him either...although his kids are very well behaved and smart...

1:57 am

jillibus

grief is the noun, sprite

1:58 am

LadyNatts

grief is the noun, grieve is the verb... to grieve, he grieved, he is grieving.

1:58 am

herinfernallady

sorry pav

1:58 am

lynxxx

Good grief, I couldn't have explained that better!

1:59 am

jillibus

well, nice to meetcha, pav :)

1:59 am

PAV3

for what mi'Lady...y'all have been quite nice and reassuring...even if I'm not the choicest one in the bunch...

1:59 am

sprite

ok! Sorry, got mixed up because of the past tense. So it is good grief (noun).
And I grieve, etc for the verb. Thanks lyn and jilli and LadyN! Will remember!

1:59 am

mrpresident

mrpresident

Oh man!! Safin is retiring!

2:12 am

She said yes! the son of a close friend has just proposed to his girlfriend in Israel and she has accepted! A marriage made in heaven as they say - he is jewish and in the racing media and has met an Israeli female jockey out here, both pretty unusual occupation choices. They are very well suited in many many ways. He proposed to her at a family gathering that was organised for their visit. Ah young love!

4:14 am

sprite

normally, when I find one words, I find a whole bunch. Now, I am lucky to find one. Then a whole period of nothing.

herinfernallady

Hi Ata

4:23 am

sprite

hi Ata! Glad you are liking it. I am having lots of trouble finding words. Though I do have naughty ones :)

Haven't been able to send you package yet. It's been a crazy week. Have been resting a lot to keep up with all the hectics, will try and do it early next week.

4:23 am

Atalante

4:24 am

4:24 am

Atalante

well it's nice so far, and I'm half way through

4:24 am

sprite

I was stuck before halfway, so it's probably me.

4:25 am

Atalante

I've been stuck on nearly every grid recently, so I think my brain might finally be coming back into focus today!

Atalante

Matt Smith said he's only got a short while to get into the role before shooting, so they must be starting shooting soon

4:28 am

Atalante

I'll ask FM, she's the fount of all knowledge about Dr Who

4:29 am

sprite

another reason to blame FM then. If she knows it all, she can change it.

4:29 am

herinfernallady

I think its been put on hiatus and they are doing it 2010 (got a friend that is kindly helping with season 4) its sucks as they are doing a tease of the new doc tommorow

4:31 am

hi all I missed while on the phone

5:52 am

phandmd

and now I am 1/2 way!

5:53 am

sprite

for me, doing this grid is like wrestling with an alligator. Losing the battle all the time but can't stop!

5:54 am

phandmd

yes, this one is difficult; the words don't just jump out at you.

5:55 am

Brookie

I agree, sprite! Unfortunately, the weekends are the only time I have a chance to complete a grid. I now have an hour-and-a-half commute each way, between work and home, so that cuts into my Babble time (as well as family time, etc.)

5:58 am

Brookie

6:04 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! S far this grid bites....

6:04 am

6:05 am

Brookie

hi lori

6:05 am

Brookie

6:06 am

LoriP

***Lori pretends there aren't 41 M's***

6:06 am

Brookie

6:07 am

phandmd

6:07 am

Brookie

Lori, I'm also trying to accept the fact there are 41 M's... can't be true!

6:07 am

Brookie

you'll get them, phan!

6:07 am

Katydid0615

i agree phan, i still need 3 of them and one is a 4! But my monkeys are flying.

6:08 am

LoriP

I am vehemently against the number of 41. :D

6:08 am

phandmd

well, after a while most of the M's weren't that bad, I still need about 8

6:08 am

LoriP

Go phand go!

6:08 am

phandmd

2 of mine are 4's, Katy

6:08 am

sprite

hi Lori

6:09 am

phandmd

6:09 am

LoriP

Hey sprite.

6:09 am

phandmd

most of the M's are MO's

6:09 am

LoriP

Yea phand! ***admires the impossibility of it all***

6:09 am

sprite

am having a stoopid day, wresting with this grid.

6:09 am

phandmd

well, I also am already using the list so take it with a grain of salt

6:10 am

Brookie

sprite, you NEVER have a stoopid day!

6:10 am

sprite

also using the list today!

6:10 am

sprite

believe me, I do, and today is one of them!

6:12 am

Katydid0615

phan, stupid no's! try no+ not your pa, and then plural. then no + french for me. see if those help

6:12 am

LoriP

I'm always disappointed when the words I'm making up, aren't real.

6:13 am

phandmd

thnk, Katy that did help, I needed everyone of those!

6:13 am

phandmd

anyone have an idea what that SH 6 word is?

6:13 am

sprite

I get miffed when words like somnia aren't valid. I mean, there is insomnia, right?

6:13 am

Katydid0615

those were my last no's too

6:13 am

Brookie

6:15 am

Brookie

I got the ta8... what's the other 8?

6:15 am

6:16 am

Brookie

6:16 am

phandmd

6:16 am

phandmd

yes, now I have it

6:16 am

sprite

yes it does, though not in meaning

6:16 am

Katydid0615

got the sh word. uses sh from top right corner. anyone need a clue?

6:16 am

phandmd

yes please

6:17 am

sprite

no thanks, your hint for which tile did the trick, thanks

6:18 am

Katydid0615

sh, ends in your hearing organ

6:18 am

Katydid0615

with a consonent in the middle.

6:18 am

phandmd

ahh! do you want some sh**** on your bagel?

6:19 am

sprite

somehow it doesn't sound tasty

6:19 am

Katydid0615

there you go! i couldn't figure out how to clue it.

6:19 am

sprite

but that might be because of the hearing organ association

6:19 am

Katydid0615

ma 8 is an elephant.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Nope, I got up promptly at 6:15 but I made salads for the bunnies, then had to type on-call notes and e-mail those to the office.

6:24 am

LoriP

Phand, we've called it a "belly buckle" for all my 43 years. Not sure why.

6:25 am

phandmd

Is it not a Canadian thing?

6:25 am

Scrabbler

A Nova Scotia term, I suppose.

6:25 am

I hink it's a "my family makes up words" thing. :)

I knew they weren't all dressed in red and all....we had a huge problem with the horses getting sick on cold days, and no one could figure it out. then finally they discovered that on REALLY cold days, the breath of the horses was freezing on the way in, and the little ice particle were piercing the insides of the horses and they were suffering from internal bleeding, poor things!

I know jmc, I wasn't impressed either !

9:01 am

Trifioso

lol, kad - but that would be my only option, as we don't have a smoker. I think Primo would try to eat that in one sitting. He would just see a big slim jim

9:02 am

kadresa

No, I haven't heard from Marcia and I realized that I forgot to tell Mom about it.

9:02 am

kadresa

Believe me that would taste way better than a slim jim!

9:02 am

Trifioso

I told mom, but at the same time I also told her about rachael, which was of course a huge mistake. Now she thinks marcia went skiing and had a PE, and rachael broke her hip. geesh, I never learn

9:04 am

Do you think Car is up yet? I don't want her to think I didn't reach out to her.

You are really thoughtful EB; I am so lucky to have you in my life1

Oh, I don't remember that one!

10:34 am

rururocks

10:35 am

I believe that was the origin of shmoopie. A nauseating endearment.

10:37 am

10:39 am

Judi

Loved Seinfeld. It was a show about nothing.

10:40 am

rururocks

10:41 am

Judi

Cynicism makes the world go round, baby!!

10:41 am

rururocks

12:23 pm

cybernan

12:23 pm

Krista

i think that's fish worthy (smacks self with puffer fish - ouch)

12:24 pm

Atalante

no 8 is fish worthy!

12:24 pm

Krista

hi feather..come on in, the water's...ok

12:24 pm

featherbee

my first word was the hy5! had to monkey it

12:24 pm

JBV

ep 6 - ends with 3 letter ending for words that mean the same and opposites

12:25 pm

Krista

yeah, i guess...

12:26 pm

cybernan

that's as clear as mud jbv

12:26 pm

featherbee

i got it!

12:26 pm

featherbee

syno*** and anto***

12:26 pm

BabbleRabble

no good deed goes unrewarded, JBV

12:26 pm

fuquayvarina

a syn**** is a word that means the same as another, a hom**** sounds the same, etc.

12:26 pm

JBV

sorry, cybernan, i can give you the definition that might be a little clear than mud - a person or place from which a name is derived

12:27 pm

BabbleRabble

just as more often no good deed goes unpunished

12:27 pm

cybernan

ty jbv and feather

12:27 pm

JBV

: )

12:28 pm

jesdraggon

thanks fuquay & JbV

12:28 pm

cybernan

I was thinking it was an ending with the opposite meanings -- not two different words with the same ending

12:28 pm

jesdraggon

and feather, though i didn't see your clue til after :)

12:29 pm

featherbee

np

12:31 pm

jesdraggon

well, that's 100 words. is it shameful to go to the list so early?

12:31 pm

cybernan

hate to go to the list with only 33 left, but this is getting too painful!

12:32 pm

featherbee

up to you jes! depends on your goals and time

12:32 pm

Atalante

it is only shameful if you consider it so!

12:32 pm

JBV

right, feather, I have no hard and fast rules for myself - depends on each day and available time (and brain energy)

12:32 pm

jesdraggon

yup. nan done showed me up there

12:33 pm

JBV

today I have 46 left to find, haven't used the list yet, but then we've had some great cluers here

12:33 pm

BabbleRabble

babble is a competition only by choice

12:34 pm

featherbee

yep. some days i finish, some i don't. sometimes i list, sometimes i don't. sometimes i just try to get to halfway before the list, sometimes i make myself go farther. totally depends.

12:34 pm

featherbee

sometimes, like yesterday, i don't even start once i hear what the grid is like!

12:34 pm

jesdraggon

i know. i'm thinkng i'll need to list soon to finish... need to go do other stuff at some point today

12:34 pm

Krista

sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't

12:35 pm

featherbee

lol krista

12:35 pm

Krista

ok, showing my age there

12:35 pm

Atalante

I like finishing every day, but that's me being personally competitive, thats just me. But then again, sometimes I simply can't be bothered to start

12:35 pm

jesdraggon

it was just great timing for nan's comment, is all...

12:35 pm

featherbee

thanks. now that's running in my head.

12:35 pm

Atalante

lol yes, brilliant timing

12:35 pm

jesdraggon

hah! krista, i never feel like a nut, but there is a sad sad tendency of stores around here to only carry almond joy and NOT mounds, whats up with that?

12:35 pm

featherbee

should i know the Y word?

12:36 pm

cybernan

sorry jes -- we must have posted at exactly the same time!

12:36 pm

jesdraggon

12:37 pm

magazinemom

feather- you've looked far and yo* + the third vowel

12:37 pm

jesdraggon

Somewhere, my love,
There will be songs to sing
Although the snow
Covers the hope of spring.

Somewhere a hill
Blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams
All that your heart can hold.

12:38 pm

Krista

so jes has a huge stash of mounds bars....

12:38 pm

12:42 pm

Dorens

hi takuma.. has FL warmed up yet?

12:42 pm

JBV

sorry if this is a late comment (I had to take a break, just getting back) but for those interested in nuts, you should see January Harper's Magazine, "Everybody's Gone Nuts" about the exaggerated epidemic of food (specifically nut) allergies

12:42 pm

BabbleRabble

me 5 -- add Pl*** the Elder

12:42 pm

Takuma Sato

oh my yes

12:43 pm

Dorens

what an interesting job monkey. good luck

12:43 pm

Takuma Sato

I just came in sitting on a patio, because it was too hot in the sun

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

A friend of mine is the accountant there and as soon as she heard I am getting my degree next week she dropped a word with the boss.

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

12:43 pm

JBV

hi, Monkey - sounds like a great job! when will you know?

12:43 pm

Krista

monkey, there are often jobs on Elance for Dutch translation

12:43 pm

Takuma Sato

er, came in *from* sitting on a patio

12:43 pm

Dorens

nice.... my BF said it was thirty six the other day in Sanibel

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Within a week I'll know if the job is vacant; after that I don't know...

12:44 pm

Takuma Sato

yes, we had a pretty serious (for here) cold snap for a few days

12:44 pm

movieman

clue for the h plz

12:44 pm

Takuma Sato

No word yet on the crop damage

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

I'll look at that, Krista, and thanks. I'd have to do Dutch to English because my Dutch written grammar still sucks but I could do that... great tip! Thank you!

12:44 pm

Takuma Sato

but there's lots of concern that some orchards may have been permanently damaged

12:45 pm

BabbleRabble

hy 5 -- add a male begat

12:45 pm

fuquayvarina

feather, one from the center o is an operation on the intestinal tract

12:45 pm

Takuma Sato

so buy your citrus now!

12:45 pm

jesdraggon

i heard something about bad for the oranges

12:45 pm

Krista

certainly...good luck..sounds like a very interesting job

12:45 pm

movieman

ty br

12:45 pm

Dorens

good point takuma, thanks for the tip

12:45 pm

Takuma Sato

I don't know how far south the hard freeze extended, but up here it was pretty bad

12:46 pm

JBV

Monkey, have you found a good online forum for Dutch-English translation? I only mention it because I use WordReference.com (but it's only Spanish/French/Italian/German)

12:46 pm

featherbee

thinking on that O, thanks

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

It would be. And to land a civil service job with all the perks AND at a highly respected academic instiutute as a first job right out of school would look GOOD.

12:46 pm

featherbee

got it!

12:46 pm

JBV

the o usually begins with col****** or ur******

12:46 pm

fuquayvarina

I could use any o clues also. still missing 4 from those two in the middle column

12:46 pm

Dorens

thanks jbv

12:47 pm

Krista

jbv..just saw your post about nut alleriges..my daughter is allergic..it stinks on many levels..i sneak nuts when i'm away from her..love them so much

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

No, JBV, since I speak it I usually just rely on one-word translations from Interglot and the like and then have a Dutch-born person check my reports for grammar.

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

My neighbor's son has a nut allergy too. He's only 2 so they need to be very careful at public places wehre someone might give him something to eat.

12:48 pm

Dorens

my daughter in law is allergic to nuts... I'm not even allowed to put pecans in the turkey stuffing... the oils leach out into the meat

12:48 pm

JBV

sorry to hear that, Krista, but this article also says that most of the media reports about the danger of anaphylactic shock, etc. come from an organization that is not exactly bias-free

12:48 pm

Krista

is it food allergy network?

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

The neighbor kid just has an asthma attack if he eats anything with nuts. Requires a trip to the ER but he is not in immediate danger, thank goodness. No shock or anything.

12:49 pm

JBV

FAAN -

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, I guess I have to go... the laptop is making That Weird Noise again and only shutting it down for a while helps. The new computer will be ready soon.... Have fun all!

12:50 pm

JBV

the author of the article does not deny that allergies exist but that FAAN's data derive from one study in 1999 of a small population

12:50 pm

Krista

i dont know, jbv..i didnt read the article, but living with the danger everyday, i think it would be hard to overemphasize the dangers to those who dont understand it

12:50 pm

jesdraggon

bye, monkey

12:50 pm

Takuma Sato

ciao, monkey

12:51 pm

cybernan

12:51 pm

cybernan

nm -- found them

12:51 pm

BabbleRabble

no + french me

12:52 pm

JBV

I agree it's tricky, Krista, because you don't want to minimize the real dangers, but they do point out there are big discrepancies between FAAN's data and the CDC reports of actual deaths

12:52 pm

Dorens

ar6 = plural

12:52 pm

BabbleRabble

ar 6 is a pl

12:52 pm

Krista

FAAN is a godsend to parents like me...will have to check out the article..you said Harpers?

12:52 pm

cybernan

ar 6: ar + robotic ending

12:52 pm

magazinemom

okay, I don't have the ar5, so that would explain it LOL

12:52 pm

Dorens

robot ending

12:52 pm

magazinemom

ty I got it!

12:52 pm

JBV

Harper's January 2008 (it's not a long article, but what they call an "annotation," analysis of a piece of FAAN's literature

12:53 pm

JBV

You could probably write a great letter to the editor in response, Krista

12:54 pm

Krista

yeah, to be honest, i dont pay much attention to the stats..they can be twisted to suit anyone's agenda...unless I read the actual study myself

12:55 pm

harpjane

what's FAAN?

12:55 pm

Krista

food allergy and anaphalaxis network

12:55 pm

Takuma Sato

lol - two days in a row we have a vowel-less word in the grid

12:56 pm

Krista

thanks..i'm going out in a bit, will see if i can find that...MagMom..had a look...very attractive, informative magazine!

12:56 pm

cybernan

we had some wonderful news just before Christmas -- our granddaughter, who had anaphalactic reactions to chicken and fish, has outgrown her allergies!!!

12:57 pm

magazinemom

ty Krista! always like to hear positive stuff :-)

12:57 pm

Krista

oh nan, that IS wonderful...my daughter outgrew egg allergies..it opened up a whole new world for her...peanut allergy has doubled tho

12:57 pm

magazinemom

and you've given me an idea for an article on nut allergies!

12:57 pm

Jellen

Hello, all!

12:57 pm

magazinemom

Jell!!!!

12:57 pm

Dorens

hi jell, how's tricks?

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

cybernan

we had turkey for the first time in 12 years at Christmas dinner!

12:58 pm

Takuma Sato

isn't 'dosh' a word for money? or am I thinking of something else?

12:58 pm

Takuma Sato

hiya jell

12:58 pm

Takuma Sato

ps, krista

12:58 pm

Takuma Sato

it's a real attention-getter

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

Krista

12:59 pm

Krista

i should have seen that one

12:59 pm

JBV

magmom, just checked out the website - your magazine is beautiful - I love the colorful layout, titles and wonderful articles

12:59 pm

Takuma Sato

;)

12:59 pm

magazinemom

I have now spent more time updating my profile than I have working on these last 12 words- perhaps I should fold some laundry

12:59 pm

Jellen

I'm good! Going to check out magmom's website...

12:59 pm

magazinemom

Thank you so much JBV! We don't like to brag, but we are proud of it

12:59 pm

JBV

uh-oh, laundry, you just reminded me I have something else to do besides babble, see you all later,

1:00 pm

Takuma Sato

I sometimes play another online boggle-type game that uses a broader dictionary than babble -- it can be hard to switch back and forth

1:00 pm

Krista

its very colorful...draws the reader right in....bye JBV

1:00 pm

Takuma Sato

ciao jbv

1:00 pm

see ya JBV!

1:01 pm

why, I ask you, am I folding my ex-husbands clothes?

1:01 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

1:01 pm

whaaaa???? MagMom??

1:01 pm

magazinemom

go nan!!

1:01 pm

Jellen

Yay, nan!!!!

1:01 pm

cybernan

none, krista -- couldn't even eat meats from the deli, because they were also used to slice poultry.

1:02 pm

Takuma Sato

I know -- because you're about to donate them to Goodwill?

1:02 pm

Krista

***toot toot*** for nan!!

1:02 pm

Krista

**toot toot** for outgrowing allergies! :)

1:02 pm

cybernan

*the slicers were used for other things

1:02 pm

Krista

oh yes, cross-contamination is a constant danger

1:03 pm

cybernan

It has made a tremendous difference to her interest in food and eating.

1:03 pm

magazinemom

LOL Krista! He and my daughter did several loads of laundry for me last weekend while I was on deadline- he mixed his in and I am just getting around to folding the last basket

1:04 pm

Krista

I thought i was supernice by having my ex to all of our holiday parties...you far surpass me in kindness

1:04 pm

cybernan

Fear of cross contamination is a terrible thing -- it completely took the joy from dining out -- even as a family, because she couldn't eat anything in a restaurant that served fowl -- even then there was a risk because so many things contain chicken fat.

1:05 pm

Krista

i can imagine, nan..you know, i have a friend whose 7 year old cannot eat ANY food...he is on an elemental formula and water..he is allergic to everything

1:05 pm

magazinemom

well the good news is we have clean undies!

1:05 pm

Takuma Sato

yikes, I just swatted myself in the face, knocking my glasses off, trying to shoo a fly away

1:05 pm

magazinemom

that is so scary Krista

1:06 pm

Takuma Sato

and I'm out in a cafe - boy did I make a spectacle of myself

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

Krista

LOL takuma...careful, there

1:06 pm

magazinemom

nan- I can't even imagine what kind of a toll that takes on family life

1:06 pm

cybernan

Everyone in the family is relieved for her and thrilled that we no longer have to sterilize our kitchens when she comes for a visit!

1:06 pm

Krista

u made a spectacle with your spectacles

2:32 pm

harpjane

thanks

2:32 pm

PAV3

ADrian, SW of AnnArbor, Lenawee county seat

2:32 pm

PAV3

then how's omce I don't get the extra digital stations on those sets?

2:32 pm

westford

ty from me jellen strange word

2:33 pm

phaeton

know where it is, never been there

2:33 pm

PAV3

how's come...

2:33 pm

dcseain

that would be a matter of your cable company no providing them then, pav

2:33 pm

westford

part of the catch a tiger rhyme I guess

2:33 pm

phaeton

You have to have HD to get extra digital

2:33 pm

PAV3

smallish town of about 25,ooo surrounded by farmland...

2:34 pm

phaeton

grew up in Troy

2:34 pm

Jellen

Hi, phaeton, btw

2:34 pm

westford

my son's friend moved to AZ and had to give up his iPhone couldn't get a good connection

2:34 pm

dcseain

and the old sets will display the digital picture in the old format

2:34 pm

westford

he must live near you pav

2:34 pm

PAV3

but when the switch comes, Ishould have no dificulty as long as I have cable...but the question is will have more than the basic five 'digital ' stations...

2:35 pm

Dorens

i'm a little slow, but yay jellen

2:35 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Dorens!

2:35 pm

phaeton

nothing should change as long as you are on cable

2:35 pm

dcseain

correct, with cable should have no problem. Whether you get more than the basic 5 depends on your cable carrier, and, i suppsoe, your cable plan

2:35 pm

PAV3

i{hone...with no connection,,,AT&T should be no prob in the four or so major cities here in AZ...is in the boonies somewhere?

2:35 pm

phaeton

hi jellen and congrats!

2:36 pm

westford

apparently pav don't know where exactly

2:36 pm

phaeton

Don't confuse digital with 'high definition'

2:36 pm

harpjane

i think some cable companies are dropping stations, supposedly not related to the digital switchover

2:36 pm

Dorens

ok, i give up.... last word is sa6 and i'm so sstuck... is this fishy?

2:37 pm

PAV3

no my "old" 26 flat panel from Dell was HD but not digital...it didn't get the extra chnnels the new set does...

2:37 pm

Jellen

Anglo-Sa*** + sometimes vowel

2:37 pm

dcseain

sa6 - former german kingdom that helped settle Britain

2:37 pm

Or they said it is a kind of wool ...sa6

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

dcseain

2:48 pm

dcseain

2:48 pm

Lizsark

Here too DC - but my lab is barking mad - I wouldn't trust hm as far as I could throw him - which lets face it is really not far at all lol

2:49 pm

Lizsark

Ata therein lies the problem - he is intelligent (never mind what the vet says) and thats why he runs rings round me!!!

2:49 pm

Atalante

Liz: http://tinyurl.com/cay7fb

3:07 pm

Lizsark

She said "On our challenge there was just a few local guides with donkey's - it is very remote and you really do have to do everything yourself - it is very harsh not much food and we had to really make the water last - so when he says about drinking all the time it is also about making it last the day - being filmed also puts enormous pressure on you in addition to the challenges themselves - it was a great experience and def life-changing! xx"
