2:16 am

Jellen

Yay, Christine!

2:16 am

dcseain

pardon, herin?

2:17 am

herinfernallady

Thats right. There is an article on banning ''bad'' food from lunch boxes

2:17 am

dcseain

oy gevalt! what IS the world coming to

2:17 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/ccaedr this is the article

2:17 am

Christine

Thank you ... sometimes I miss London, then I ask myself "where is it 84 degrees in January".

2:17 am

Andree

at7/28 please

2:19 am

BabbleRabble

at 7 == opposition: ****st*nce

2:20 am

herinfernallady

At & 28 meaning: the congenital absence, or the pathological closure, of an opening, passage, or cavity.

herinfernallady

HI Babs

herinfernallady

2:21 am

dcseain

yes i am, and tom just gave me the at from the definition. yay for nurses!

2:21 am

herinfernallady

ok

2:21 am

herinfernallady

Sciene I was going to say its bad enough at schools that some have banned nuts

2:22 am

dcseain

peanuts are disallowed at many schools here. peanut allergies, almost unknown when i was small, arer mapant today, i think in part with the influx of Northerners here

2:22 am

mrpresident

andree... I was thinking about taking Maddie with me

2:23 am

herinfernallady

mmmmph that makes me not happy

2:23 am

mrpresident

dcs, I watched a doco on peanut allergies... parents of some schools have to sign a waiver that they do no feed their children peanut products at home!!

2:23 am

Andree

that would be a great trip for her

2:24 am

dcseain

that's just asinine, mrp

2:24 am

mrpresident

one of the kids on our street is deadly allergic... my kids have to wash their teeth, have a shower and wear fresh clothes to go to her hous

2:24 am

herinfernallady

When I was working in childcare we had a child in care and he was allergic to a lot of things. His parents had a list on the wall of what he couldn't have but they didn't mind as every day was an adventure

2:24 am

dcseain

here in the SE US, we just don't feed peanuts to kids before their 3rd birthday

2:24 am

herinfernallady

mutters something about darwinsim

2:25 am

dcseain

they fed us peanut soup in school - in the lunch line

2:25 am

dcseain

not daily, but on occasion

2:25 am

mrpresident

we are advised not to feed eggs and nuts to our kids.

2:25 am

jillibus

why this sudden recent appearance of peanut allergies?

2:26 am

Andree

herin my grandaughter has a peanut allergy, we all carry an epipen , she is only 5 and starting school next week, would not want her to die because someone gave her a peanut butter sandwich

2:26 am

mrpresident

infern, that was insensitive

2:26 am

herinfernallady

AND so what. I am sick of a minority telling a majority what they can and can't give their own children

2:27 am

mrpresident

when YOU have children, get back to us

2:27 am

dcseain

who really knows, jill. it has been a sudden increase in nut allergies over the last decade

2:27 am

Andree

parents of these children are only asking no peanuts to school

2:27 am

dcseain

and mostly in anglo areas

2:28 am

jillibus

so strange

2:28 am

jjks

unfortunately it's becoming more of a majority; we've a number of kids w/peanut allergies at our school.

2:28 am

herinfernallady

WHen I HAVE CHILDREN I dont want children so there

2:28 am

mrpresident

then don't get back to us!

2:28 am

dcseain

my nephew's class this year has 15 peanut-allergic students, and that's out of 30 kids.

2:29 am

mrpresident

my job is to protect those kids.

2:29 am

Andree

i agree jilli, cannot understand it especially as there are no allergies in our family history

2:29 am

jjks

wow, dc

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Are you tellling me that when that person goes into the work force then the entire office shouldn't eat peanuts?

2:30 am

Andree

often by that time they have grown out of the allergy or are wise enough and old enough to look out for themselves

2:31 am

Andree

but when they are as young as my grandaughter its adults that have to be on a watch

2:31 am

dcseain

yes, what andree said

2:31 am

herinfernallady

Oh and thanks for telling me that wonderful line ''when i have kids'' THAT is insensitive

2:31 am

dcseain

i've a friend near my age, we can have peanuts in our food, and eat peanuts around him, but no peanut butter nor peanut oil

2:32 am

Christine

I notice a warning on a package of cookies, that they were made in an establishment where other products contained eggs and/or peanuts ... scary that there's so much the kids should avoid. Fortunately, at 72 I'm old enough to eat cookies.

2:33 am

mrpresident

infern, I don't know your fertility/wishes for your future... so back up

2:33 am

dcseain

yes, the allergy warnings amaze me

2:33 am

Christine

Herin ... my daughter says she doesn't have kids because she has enough trouble watching out for her husband

2:33 am

sprite

morning all

2:33 am

2:34 am

jillibus

hi sprite!

2:34 am

dcseain

morning, sprite :) *hug*

2:34 am

Andree

even m &m's have a warning, i guess because they make peanut m&m's too so i only buy smarties for the kids

2:34 am

jjks

hey sprite!

2:34 am

dart001

hi sprite

2:34 am

dcseain

2:35 am

2:35 am

jillibus

o gawd, just saw the long list of re words :(

2:36 am

sprite

yay jilli, leave it to you to know a poem with the beautiful word sonsie in it :D

2:37 am

Christine

DD told her husband before the marriage, she's never wanted children ... five years later he's whining about not being fulfilled ... just what she needs two kids

2:37 am

herinfernallady

Screw you MR Pres that is their choice. I should not have kids due to medical issues that me and the b.f have. you are extremly rude and insensitive

2:37 am

mrpresident

I just said... I don't know your circumstances

2:38 am

sprite

oh help. My day started with a fight between our kids... now a fight on babble as well?

2:38 am

Christine

herin, don't worry about it ... lots of people don't have kids, and that should be only their decision.

2:38 am

Andree

herin you have misunderstood mrp, calm down

2:38 am

mrpresident

sprite, is all over yogo actually,,, infern has a bee in her bonnet. she thinks I am insensitive

2:39 am

mrpresident

anyway, I don't have my life to dedicate to this crap... on with my babble buddies!

3:44 am

dcseain

3:44 am

mrpresident

I must visit Chicago... A C Neilson is there (lickety's work) and his boss... is a given that I be there...

I am missing one re 8/40 - the one between the 2x re 5/10's (network of fibres and doing up your laces again). Can anyone help?

4:15 am

stank

how do you know how many there are? sorry, I'm new to this.

4:16 am

mrpresident

stank, you can see it in tile stats

4:17 am

stank

I see that, but how do you know how many 8/40s you're missing? I understand that there are 13 Ps total, but how do you know the length of the words you're missing?

4:18 am

anike

Found it!! Fireworks. Nite all.

4:18 am

BabbleRabble

re 8 -- add jeweled headdress: ****a and very angry: l*v*d

4:18 am

mrpresident

nite anike!

4:19 am

mrpresident

ok, stank, you need to go to angelsong's page and read it from top to bottom

4:19 am

mrpresident

if you go to the bottom of the grid, there is a list

4:19 am

anike

In the friends of babble there are sites such as lickety's babble clues that give you more detailed stats

4:19 am

lynxxx

wow thanks BabRab - looks like one of 'your' words

4:19 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

4:20 am

mrpresident

read anglesong... and then you could use Lickety's Clues as a way of finding where you are at.
you can aske lickety to give you the babblexpert too. just email him

4:20 am

mrpresident

hi lynxx!!

4:20 am

stank

cool. thanks for the help. I'll check it out right away.

4:21 am

lynxxx

hi MRP. Looks like you've sent your weather our way, stinking week coming up.

4:21 am

mrpresident

indeed lynxx. and we are not spared either!

4:22 am

lynxxx

Really, you lot must be shrivelled up by now

4:22 am

mrpresident

oh it has been horrid! but today was a blessing.... only 24

4:23 am

mrpresident

the next couple of weeks are going to be nasty

4:24 am

lynxxx

When do the kids go back to school?

4:25 am

mrpresident

lynxx, I have two young boys here... they are 1 year apart (like mine) and almost share the same birthdays!!
It is amazing to see the interaction..

They go back on Wednesday

4:26 am

mrpresident

4:26 am

mrpresident

4:27 am

mrpresident

I just want to eat them up!! they are adorable!!

4:28 am

mrpresident

I love the diversity of our culture here in australia

4:28 am

lynxxx

Absolutely. My sister IL and husband lived in NG for a number of years so met quite a few people from there. SIL even mentored a Miss PNG would you believe. A very attractive race

4:29 am

mrpresident

indeed! the kids are short!! but adorable! LOL

4:30 am

mrpresident

one of them is in Luke's class, and another is in Maddie's class... they get on beautifully!

4:31 am

lynxxx

Are they boarding down here? Happy co-incidence that they are in both yr kids classes

4:31 am

mrpresident

ooooh, Dokic seems to be winning!!

4:32 am

mrpresident

no lynxx. they live across the road from the school. Mum is a single parent.
Luke befriended Noah (year 4) and Maddison is 'tolerant' of Josh (year 5)... but it has been a treasure for them being here... Luke has learnt a lot from them socially

4:34 am

lynxxx

lol @ tolerant. and good to learn to be a 'host' as well

4:35 am

mrpresident

One thing I love about this area... the kids have friends over all the time!! Since we moved to near their school, they are so so so happy!!

4:36 am

mrpresident

We lived 7 km away from their school... now we live 1km away

4:36 am

lynxxx

Good stuff! now you just need to find a house to buy in the same area -? or are you happy enjoying the benefits of renting? no maint etc

4:36 am

mrpresident

actually, I think it might be 700m!

4:36 am

mrpresident

let's just say... they can't get the bus! LOL

4:37 am

mrpresident

lynxx. we love this house... will put in an offer

4:37 am

lynxxx

cool!

4:37 am

mrpresident

I am so happy here! I never want to leave! this is the house for us

4:38 am

lynxxx

I'll keep my fingers crossed they want to sell

4:39 am

mrpresident

thanks darling... they have been trying to sell for 18 months. so shouldn't have any problem

4:39 am

mrpresident

have you been watching the tennis lynxx??

4:40 am

lynxxx

oh wow - it's meant to be then!

4:40 am

mrpresident

that is what I believe too!!

4:42 am

lynxxx

Not into sports MRP. You have been enjoying it though I can tell. Pity I haven';t got a larger house, you could come down for a week or so and go to a few matches

4:43 am

mrpresident

pity indeed! I am determined to watch the open next year!

4:43 am

mrpresident

I would sell my soul for 2 weeks at the open. how sad is that! I really love the tennis.
I can't play cause of my arm, but that is my favourite sport

4:45 am

mrpresident

i have to go put some 'control' into 'go to bed'... seems impossible, but will work!

4:45 am

lynxxx

Good luck

4:45 am

mrpresident

they are wanting to sleep under the sairs

4:45 am

mrpresident

stairs even

4:46 am

mrpresident

we have to hiding holes... both of them under the stairs on the bottom level and on the second level...
such a blast for kids!

4:47 am

mrpresident

YAH

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Who's kitty is that?

4:57 am

Atalante

that is next door's kitty, Hobbit's Arch Enemy. he's called Freddy

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear How can Hobbit be afraid of a cat?

4:58 am

Atalante

not afraid, she just wants to see him expelled from Her Garden

4:58 am

herinfernallady

oh

4:58 am

Atalante

she chases him up trees or over the fence whenever possible

4:59 am

herinfernallady

oh what a horrid cat (if she is doing that in your yard)

5:00 am

Atalante

well it's a communal garden, so freddy has just as much right to be there as Hobbit, but Hobbit moved here first, so it's Hers. According to her

5:00 am

herinfernallady

ok

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Hobbit needs to understand that everything is owned by Cat

5:01 am

Atalante

not in hobbit's world lol. and sily doesn;t reinforce that idea at all

5:01 am

herinfernallady

Lucius has take to ''death from above'' on poor Pandora

herinfernallady

He jumps up on the stereo speaker then down onto her. She is getting better and only snarls at him when he is being a pain in the butt

5:44 am

sprite

5:45 am

herinfernallady

5:46 am

Atalante

oops gtg dry the dog! bbl!

5:46 am

sprite

5:46 am

herinfernallady

Lets hope he doesn't get man flue Sprite

5:49 am

sprite

5:49 am

herinfernallady

Oh bless him

5:49 am

sprite

no he won't, lady. When he is really ill, he sleeps. When he isn't, he just needs lots of attention and hugs, but not much care.

5:50 am

KatieMcG

boy am I having a thick day, I'm finding this really hard

5:50 am

herinfernallady

that and Chicken noddle soup

5:50 am

sprite

Katie, I don't think this is a really easy grid! Not as bad as yesterday's, but there are a lot of stinkers among the more findable words.

5:51 am

sprite

could somebody please kick me when I try diary one more time?

5:51 am

herinfernallady

Sprite today I took for ever at the store and the b.f bought me a chai tea which was very sweet

5:51 am

sprite

good men are hard to find and worth to keep

5:52 am

BabbleRabble

a grid that may be dispatched expediently

5:52 am

BabbleRabble

perhaps more than one, sprite

5:52 am

sprite

if a grid is to you, BabbleRabble, I know it will give me some hardship.

5:52 am

herinfernallady

Hi Mr Babble

5:53 am

sprite

roflol... that was evil, BabbleRabble!

5:53 am

sprite

and yes, I did type it in

5:57 am

herinfernallady

Yes they are hard to find and worth to keep

5:58 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! Looks like we got us 'yer classic poopy type grid.

5:58 am

KatieMcG

5:58 am

sprite

5:59 am

LoriP

all these r's should be illegal. :/

5:59 am

KatieMcG

I'm so glad I didn't play yesterday!

5:59 am

herinfernallady

I think i only found time for 40 words yesturday

6:01 am

sprite

over halfway and still having fun. Potato salad done, family matters settled. But still in my pyjamas.

6:03 am

KatieMcG

I'm trying to warm up, the heating is broken at church and we can't get a new boiler, hence forth Sunday's will be known as thermals day

6:03 am

sprite

wow that sounds very cold, Katie. A little thermos with tea perhaps?

6:04 am

KatieMcG

we do have coffee after the service which is sooooo welcome!

6:04 am

LoriP

That's unfortunate Katie. :(

6:04 am

sprite

welcome and needed, I'd say

6:05 am

KatieMcG

I'm taking it as a test of faith to get up early on a Sunday and then not warm up until the afternoon

6:05 am

herinfernallady

Katie is it time to hold a fete to get $$$ for boiler? or trade work for boiler?

6:06 am

KatieMcG

We have the money for it we just can't get one on the supply chain. It will be a few weeks before we can get hold of one

6:06 am

herinfernallady

poo

6:07 am

sprite

who needs a te4 of faith in church with all that happens in our lifes?

6:07 am

sprite

*lives

6:07 am

loredana

6:08 am

sprite

lobo!!! *hugs* Happy day for me, playing with you twice!

6:08 am

KatieMcG

I'm more worried about the older members of the congregation, some of them should not be in that much cold

6:08 am

loredana

yay sprite

6:08 am

herinfernallady

um time for heated jumpers

6:09 am

sprite

6:09 am

sprite

sin bin is nicely heated, Katie.

6:09 am

KatieMcG

Thank you sprite, shuffling off to get a hot chocolate

6:10 am

6:14 am

loredana

6:14 am

LoriP

***If I ignore them long enough, they might!***

6:15 am

These tools keep kids SAFE.

9:14 am

mrpresident

9:14 am

crosshair

9:15 am

crosshair

bethn...you are my favoite:))

9:16 am

crosshair

favorite even

9:16 am

bethn

i don't know how you do it crossy. i manage a window cleaning business, our men are having such a bad season, and we're not nearly as cold as you

9:17 am

crosshair

lol bethn...we dont clean windows outside when its that cold...whats the point it would all be ices in seconds

9:17 am

bethn

i am a firm believer in bacon, butter, cheese, and have the thighs to prove it!

9:18 am

crosshair

once it gets below -18 or 0f it would be a joke

9:19 am

bethn

we have people calling and complaining their window are "streaky"

9:19 am

crosshair

omg

9:19 am

bethn

it is hard to be polite to them

9:20 am

crosshair

i had to chisel icicles that were hanging 3 feet down into the window spaces yesterday cause people couldnt open them for the ice build up so tell them to suck it up with the streaks;)

9:21 am

bethn

phone, brb

9:21 am

hurshy

why do people WANT to open the windows if it is so cold?

9:21 am

crosshair

fresh air is still needed on older places..it can get very stuffy and dry with electic heaters

9:21 am

crosshair

dodnt say we had them open for long! lol

9:22 am

crosshair

damn typos

9:22 am

hurshy

eh, we can tell what you meant

9:23 am

crosshair

30 seconds and you can ventilate an entire house with one open window :)

9:23 am

hurshy

wow. i did not know that.

9:23 am

crosshair

the fun really begins when you get below minus 25 like we did day before yesterday

9:25 am

crosshair

but to be honest i think we would be lost without the change of seasons,we freeze in winter,roast in summer and spring and fall are short blips of pure pleasure

9:27 am

hurshy

yes, our are slightly less extreme but i relish the changing seasons as well.

9:28 am

crosshair

lol thought you went from,damp to steamy,to misty,to downpours :)

9:28 am

crosshair

lol jk

9:28 am

hurshy

and winter doesn't seem as interminable to me as an adult as it did when i was a kid. time just goes by faster.

9:28 am

hurshy

ah, you are being misled by my flag :)

9:29 am

bethn

do all your stores carry super duper arctic wear crossy? even with gloves with thinsulate my hands are cold when i go out

9:29 am

bethn

9:32 am

bethn

i grew up in upstate ny, so nj has much milder winters by comparison, but is is stil really really cold this year

9:33 am

crosshair

coldest ive personally felt is minus 44 with wind chill minus 50...if you spit,it freezes before it hits the ground and you breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth so as to not frost your lungs

9:33 am

bethn

Atalante

9:37 am

JeeWhiz

Does anyone have the io6 please? It is probalby fishy, but I can't find it.

9:37 am

lil*monkey

9:38 am

hurshy

9:39 am

JeeWhiz

9:39 am

kim m

io....like salt

9:39 am

JeeWhiz

thanks too kim

9:39 am

kim m

yw

9:40 am

crosshair

and the tuition was brought up long ago or a sudden thing?

9:40 am

Atalante

it would be for his telescope to do astrophotography *unamused*. he's had his telescope for 3 years now and he's used it twice

9:40 am

Atalante

at least a few months ago

9:40 am

crosshair

mmm..good grief id be a dead man....

9:40 am

hurshy

and how does the cost of tuition compare with the cost of divorce?

9:41 am

Atalante

he has *no* idea LOL

9:41 am

Atalante

I'm sure tuition would be cheaper for him!

9:41 am

SharonRA

good morning folks. How is everybody

9:41 am

hurshy

perhaps that is a point to make then...

9:42 am

lil*monkey

clue for any of the Ys please?

9:42 am

9:42 am

Atalante

9:42 am

hurshy

9:42 am

bethn

9:42 am

hurshy

9:43 am

bethn

yiddish matchmaker + pl

9:43 am

hurshy

air in the syringe (from agatha christie)

9:44 am

bethn

azalea leaves in food (looks like oregano etc)

9:44 am

crosshair

lets compare this camera vs tuition....camera= 20 to 30 years of domestic hell or divorce or poison in the oatmeal..tuition= happy wife with big fat degree for high paing job...mmmm seems clear to me....

9:44 am

Atalante

doesn't always work, I believe

9:44 am

bethn

you have the wisdom of a sage crossy

9:44 am

hurshy

yeah i think it is best on the old and weak.

9:44 am

lil*monkey

is "air in the syringe" a clue for a Y word???? I got the matchmaker words

9:45 am

hurshy

9:45 am

bethn

9:45 am

crosshair

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

there are three of them, monk

9:45 am

Atalante

I already have a better degree, lol. but its a very academic one of no use to man nor beast apart from ppl who like studying dead fish. This would be a useful degree that I could get a job near here that I would be really happy with

9:45 am

lil*monkey

i have 3 matchmakers wrods

9:46 am

bethn

full of sage?

9:46 am

hurshy

so ata, is he like my husband - the kind that is immune to domestic hell?

9:46 am

crosshair

and what is the cost of tuition vs camera?

9:46 am

Atalante

camera is about half the total tuition for 2 years

9:46 am

Atalante

yep!

9:46 am

crosshair

so about 4 grand or so

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

unfortunately there are always women around to soothe their egos

9:46 am

hurshy

we need to start a business for gals who are considering marriage, so we can help them avoid marrying guys like this

9:47 am

bethn

after 34 years of practice, i make domestic hell that no one is immune to

9:47 am

Atalante

not that bad :) MSc is cheap, it's about £1500

9:47 am

crosshair

yup 4 grand cad

9:47 am

Atalante

lol yay beth!

9:48 am

Atalante

oh, Canadian, yep!

9:48 am

crosshair

pound is about $2.75 or so

9:48 am

bethn

i lay awake at night thinking of new variations....

9:48 am

hurshy

geez, in the US masters degrees are so much more expensive

9:49 am

crosshair

my wife can do hell natuarally..no thinking needed

9:49 am

crosshair

lol

9:49 am

Atalante

this is a pretty cheap one, it's mainly distance learning so no real costs involved

9:49 am

hurshy

see beth, if i get mad, my husband just gets mad back, and we could be in a frosty silence ... forever. he never gets cowed by anything.

9:49 am

bethn

9:49 am

lil*monkey

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

EEK! there's a critter int he grid!

9:51 am

hurshy

i wish we could just stick our husbands with each other and we could be roomies and have a nice peaceful pleasant life.

9:51 am

bethn

i (unfortunately) can out silence anyone. It is not a good trait. it would not bother me to not speak for months if i was that angry. so generally i win by default because noone wants to deal with me being so unremittingly nasty :(

9:51 am

hurshy

ooh thanks TO, that greys the right col for me!

9:51 am

crosshair

crossy slowly and quietly backs out of the room......

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

some days i would do it over not to be alone, though. i don't care what you say about strong and all. life alone pretty much sucks.

9:53 am

bethn

i have been married 34 yrs - i could have murdered him and been out by now

9:53 am

Atalante

I can too, but normally I can't be bothered to. This time it might just warrant it though!

9:53 am

lil*monkey

oh thanks for that, Owl

9:53 am

hurshy

i dunno, maybe life just sucks no matter what, TO.

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

ty hursh. don't take me too erisouly, just lost my dad's siste,there areonly two of them left now. and when my dad goes i will truly be alone

9:54 am

SharonRA

well, these ce's are a treat, huh?

9:54 am

hurshy

when i was young and single, living a single life seemed really hard, but now that i'm married, i think anything is better than being married to someone you don't want to be married to! ohh, i am sorry for your loss. :(

9:55 am

Atalante

the grass is always greener!

9:55 am

crosshair

oh for all the things left undone"each thing i do i do fast so i can do something else" "time is the fire in which we burn

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

if that's truly the case, be thankful you foound out while so young. alhtough i am sure it does not seem like something to give thanks for.

9:56 am

hurshy

i really think the live with a friend approach seems like a good bet.

9:57 am

Atalante

me too , really

9:57 am

hurshy

my sister and i have already agreed if either of us becomes widows someday we will move in with the other... so i'm just marking time till one of the guys pops off...

9:57 am

lil*monkey

i would give anything for a sister

9:57 am

bethn

you could not pay me to live with my sister

9:58 am

bethn

you can have mine monkey

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

i would also, but i only have a brother and we are like night and day

9:58 am

crosshair

my wife and i have each at one point saved each other lives.i hope and pray i dont screw up for another 5 years or so then we can just coast and dig on all the memories and turn the kids bedroom into a reading room:))

9:58 am

hurshy

however, my sister likes being married to her husband.

9:58 am

Pinikula

I wouldn't wish either of my (so-called) sisters on anyone...

9:58 am

Pinikula

morning all

9:59 am

Kazzer99

exactly beth - me and my sister would fight like cat and dog - she is as useless at house work as i am and we would just hurl abuse about the state of the home

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

on NYE i ran into a woman who told me her husband left after 40 years

9:59 am

Atalante

I don't have a brother or sister :(

9:59 am

hurshy

my sisters and i would have a fab life together... sigh...

9:59 am

hurshy

ata! what has happened to your sister?!

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

and i must go get ready - will need to drive up to NJ later today or tomorrow

10:00 am

Pinikula

sadly I rather wish I didn't have sisters; my brothers are worth keeping though

10:01 am

Kazzer99

i wouldn't know about my brother he hasn't been in touch with the family for 20 years and doesn't reply to any attempts to get in touch

10:01 am

bethn

mine is very very agressive. she has some rare deformity in her skull which makes he blood pressure at near stroke levels at all times - it also triggers the fight or fligth mechanism - she refers to fight

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

my father had lunch with his 90 year old sister on tuesday past and she died yesterday. they hjad lunch almost every week

10:01 am

Atalante

oh! she's my adopted sister. No blood sisters! Forgot about her :P But she probably won't last much longer either!

10:07 am

Atalante

10:07 am

Atalante

10:08 am

flosey

thanks Ata

10:08 am

crosshair

thats what waivers are for

10:08 am

Atalante

some drs won't do that

10:08 am

hurshy

not just risky for malpractice... they don't like to have their stats lowered.

10:08 am

Atalante

yep exactly

10:09 am

crosshair

here ive signed my life away so many times its all just part of the standard paperwork:/

10:09 am

10:10 am

you dont get ANY chemo treatment without first signing a waiver or most eye operations or anything that require intubation

10:10 am

hurshy

house tricked a surgeon into operating on a patient and cuddy chastised him, saying the surgeon had a right to know what he was operating on, and house goes, "oh, i'm sorry, i got all caught up with her right to LIVE"

10:10 am

Atalante

Pinikula

(he's not much for the commercials - the only time he looks around)

10:11 am

Pinikula

ooooh, I love watching House! ;)

10:11 am

Atalante

surgeons needed to poke into sister's arm last week to get her brachial artery intact. they refused, basically, because it was too likely to go wrong. So she's stuck with a likely to explode artery

10:11 am

crosshair

think ill just buy the first 2 seasons on dvd and give it a go:)

10:12 am

Krista

he does amazing American accent

10:12 am

Atalante

oh you should, its *fab*

10:12 am

Krista

that's awful, Ata

10:12 am

crosshair

then if it were my arm id tell them to aputate if it was that much of a life risk

10:13 am

Atalante

yeah, it's about typical at the moment though! we're just immune to such things

10:13 am

Atalante

amputation is an option, but even more dangerous - she has "issues" with healing

10:13 am

Haz1558

hurshy - you still here?

10:13 am

crosshair

mmm

10:13 am

Atalante

10:14 am

hurshy

*wonders if she is in trouble*

10:14 am

Haz1558

You remember you were talking about House's fake British accent? I found the segment on Youtube - he's speaking in a VERY plummy upper-crust accent, so people listening would think he was taking the mickey a bit.

10:14 am

Haz1558

Hello to all, by the way - just wanted to catch hurshy when I saw House mentioned.

10:15 am

Uneaixoise

hey, haz! good to see you!

10:15 am

Krista

taking the piss..making fun of

10:15 am

Uneaixoise

take the mickey -- pull your leg

10:15 am

Atalante

it's not the hand she errr writes with :P but she has to do about an hour's worth of dressings changing everyday and she sure needs 2 hands for that!

10:15 am

Haz1558

'Taking the mickey' - fooling around, making fun of.

10:15 am

Uneaixoise

10:16 am

Hello Une - I think it's safe at this time to display it.

10:16 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:16 am

hurshy

ah, well, he's always making fun of people, so that's really a safe assumption in his case.

10:16 am

Uneaixoise

haz, feel free to adapt it for dogs any time :-)

10:17 am

crosshair

ahh! here is my better half all rumpled from bed... cough.. crossy smile and says nothing as he kisses her cheek

10:38 am

he was very angry when i took that pic

10:53 am

jbp

i bet. you can see the anchor in his eyes

10:54 am

JBV

just checked Sprite's profile -the icon theme for today is Blessings/Something you are grateful for - I'm grateful for my son who helps me figure out how to do things with icons, photos, etc. on the computer, since he's not here right now, my icon will remain the same

10:55 am

Krista

i threw him back, so he ended up happy

Yes, they are adorable. I uploaded new icon

11:08 am

yeah, I came to the conclusion that if I finished my diss, I would still have to publish at least a book and 5 articles every seven years, and I just decided I wanted a better quality of life

11:08 am

so I found it to an extent in a cubicle

I haven't been to York since they made it into a theme park, though

Ruru is BR? Is it true?

Hi Scrabbler

yep, it's the punny-ness

11:16 am

featherbee

afternoon!

11:16 am

jbp

that sounds like a very fertile topic. My favorite thing from that period about the vikings is they realized that if they converted to Christianity, they would get gifts. So, they would convert and sail away. And come back the next day and loot an plunder.

11:17 am

ohhh, ata! i was looking for you yesterday!

11:17 am

Hi Feather. I started a game of Lexulous with you.

I have never been to Boston or DC, but I was in Philly twice.

When I arrived at the trailhead I asked a woman how the trail was and she told me that she had started then returned quickly after finding solid ice. So, I hiked through the woods, in the sun, then sat in the lodge next to the fire and worked on the NYT crossword puzzle.

Uneaixoise

but she's VERY happy at my casa!

11:46 am

Scrabbler

How lucky for both of you, Une. What is her name?

11:47 am

Uneaixoise

Momma--they'd already named her that for quite awhile so I let it stay . . . when they found her, she'd had a litter of pups and was having a hard time taking care of them -- was very hot summertime and she was trying to wrangle them as they tried to wander away

dcseain

indeed so, babrab

wow, sometimes, I wonder about myself

MetFan

I think dc means the group Blondie, lead singer Debbie Harry, who had a hit in the 80s called "The T*** is High"

12:43 pm

phandmd

well not out there punk rock, but I still think punk

12:44 pm

dcseain

indeed, metfan - pop culture and my brain do not get along well :)

12:44 pm

cybernan

oh well,-- have never really listened to any kind of rock other than rock n'roll -- no punk, pink, heavy or metal for me!

12:44 pm

MetFan

They were punk, but when it hit the mainstream, it was co-opted as "new wave"

12:44 pm

Kazozz

i wouldnt classify Blondie as remotely punk myself..always liked Debbie Harry

Brookie

chop it up, and envelop them in canned crescent dough triangles, brush w/egg white and bake

2:35 pm

dcseain

*hugs the sprite*

2:35 pm

Trifioso

wow, sprite that is really a blessing!

2:35 pm

sprite

ok no soup then. Make a good sandwich of it?

2:35 pm

Jellen

That's wonderful, sprite...

2:35 pm

dcseain

do i want toast with my cream of corn soup, or crouton?

2:36 pm

Brookie

i'd recommend adding a touch of mayo, some cheese and chopped broccoli to the chicken before rolling them in the dough

2:36 pm

dcseain

Sprite, so glad to hear!

2:36 pm

Brookie

crouton

2:36 pm

harpjane

that sound really great

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

harpjane

parmesan cheese in the dough would be really nice

2:36 pm

My sis cried from happiness. I was close to doing the same. Not ever gonna let her go again!

2:36 pm

This has been quite the week for family reunions among my friends. I'm so thrilled that yours is under happy circemstances, sprite!

2:37 pm

Trifioso

then it is a double blessing, isn't it?

2:37 pm

Brookie

it's so wonderful you could reunite, sprite

2:37 pm

sprite

absolutely :)

2:38 pm

sprite

seain: were other friends of yours less lucky? Worse circumstances?

2:40 pm

dcseain

one friend has her sisters talking to her only because their mother died yesterday. We fully expect that her sisters will not talk to her again, or at least for years, after this, since they've barely talked to her for the last decade anyway.

2:40 pm

Trifioso

ick - castaway is on, and tom hanks is about to knock his own tooth out.....focus on the grid, focus on the grid...

2:40 pm

sprite

that is so sad, seain :(

2:41 pm

sprite

Trif: keep looking at those yellow tiles...

2:41 pm

Trifioso

okay, sprite, it is safe now

2:41 pm

sprite

ah goody Trif.

2:42 pm

Brookie

we're proud of you, trif, for your focus :-)

2:42 pm

Trifioso

still not exactly whipping through the words though...this is a slow one, isn't it?

2:43 pm

sprite

I agree, Trif. Not as bad as yesterday's, but slow.

2:43 pm

dcseain

this one started fast, but is ending slo, trif

2:43 pm

magazinemom

very slow trif *plods along*

2:43 pm

Brookie

yes, i have 148 words left

2:44 pm

Brookie

also, it's a little hard to concentrate when my little one is playing... he tends to whine while he plays

2:44 pm

Trifioso

who directed castaway, ron howard?

2:44 pm

My husband thinks looking at Lickety is cheating. What is the consenus here?

2:45 pm

flosey

Hi Sprite, just changed icon for tomorrow. Reading back in chatline - so happy for you that things went well with your sister - hope this is the beginning of a very lasting friendship.

2:45 pm

Brookie

robert zemeckis directed

2:45 pm

harpjane

at7?

2:45 pm

sprite

when I started, I was told that looking up the actual words is cheating. All the rest is research.

2:45 pm

harpjane

your husband should mind his own business

2:45 pm

Trifioso

thanks brooke

2:45 pm

Brookie

yw

2:45 pm

sprite

thanks flosey! I have the feeling it is. Did you get some more sleep this morning?

2:45 pm

harpjane

putting answers in the chog is cheating otherwise everyone has their own definition of success!

2:45 pm

Trifioso

NOT cheating!

2:45 pm

sprite

lol harpjane :)

2:45 pm

Jellen

I couldn't finish the grid without Lickety!

2:45 pm

harpjane

some people think asking for clues is cheating

2:46 pm

flosey

yes I did, and hour and half

2:46 pm

Brookie

not cheating

2:46 pm

harpjane

or "spelling" the answers is cheating

2:46 pm

Trifioso

would he rather you spent all day babbling, or a reasonable amount of time, using the list?

2:46 pm

flosey

*an hour and a half, Sprite,

2:46 pm

sprite

ah good flosey, at least some more then.

2:46 pm

Atalante

what is cheating depends on how each person looks at babble

2:46 pm

harpjane

i almost start using lickety after the first pass-through

2:46 pm

sprite

at7: at + holy mother the*****

2:47 pm

Brookie

babble gives you the opportunity to learn new words, so there are different ways you can learn them, and the list is one

2:47 pm

sprite

ah, and Ata is the one who told me about the research!

2:47 pm

dcseain

indeed, brookie

2:47 pm

Atalante

was I? aren't I clever!!

2:47 pm

dcseain

and i concur, ata

2:47 pm

you can only cheat your own standards in babble

Clever Ata!

If you use Lickety then you are solving Lickety, you are not solving Babble. Not my definition of success at solving Babble's grid using Babble's sparse clues.
