12:20 am

jillibus

wtg stid -- I can't chat and get words the way you can

12:20 am

Nef

Hubby did not see the 5 in the bottom circle; he saw a 2. That is a very sensitive test for the type of color blindness he has. Funny thing is, he was an electronics tech in the Navy and he worked with the colored wires to set bomb detonators

12:21 am

dcseain

ah, yes, the joys of life, eh, jill :)

12:21 am

Kazozz

trying to keep busy as son is on a bus back from the back end of beyond and I'm not sure if he'll be home before midnight!

12:21 am

Uneaixoise

ditto, plus filled bird feeders, added washer fluid in car, walked dogs . . .

12:21 am

Kazozz

thats scary Nef lol

12:21 am

stidmama

oh man, it's tough to stay up late like that, kazozz.

12:21 am

MLFAN17

KAZZZ

12:21 am

stidmama

I see an "8" in the bottom circle...

12:22 am

stidmama

yes, but those colored wires are not all the same intensity.

12:22 am

MLFAN17

how many this time?

12:22 am

Kazozz

hubby is in the UK otherwise I'd make him stay awake lol! Son got home at midnight last weekend

12:22 am

Uneaixoise

12:22 am

stidmama

12:22 am

12:22 am

jillibus

12:23 am

Kazozz

12:23 am

Kazozz

how u doing MLF?

12:23 am

dcseain

the 5 at the bottom of that color blind test looks like an 8 to me.

12:23 am

Uneaixoise

halfway!

12:23 am

dcseain

can you get a friendly neighbor to help, jill?

12:23 am

stidmama

oh, that is a long time to wait...

12:23 am

stidmama

Hugabugs

12:24 am

12:24 am

jillibus

dc, I hate to keep asking...

12:24 am

Uneaixoise

allez!!

12:24 am

stidmama

well, my eyes don't see the same colors... one sees a little bluer, the other a little yellower. it really helps when I want to match reds!

12:24 am

Hugabugs

re6

12:25 am

dcseain

yes, that i can understand, jill. My mom's like that. I spend time going through her house, finding things that she can't reach, or has trouble repairing herself.

12:25 am

MLFAN17

was SH 7 called?

12:25 am

dcseain

sh7*2

12:25 am

DR1965

12:26 am

MLFAN17

okay sorry i just found it here

12:26 am

jillibus

I wouldn't mind asking my son, but he's nowhere near here and when he is, it's for only a day or so

12:26 am

dcseain

no problem, mlf :)

12:26 am

stidmama

I'll send a stidkid up jill -- the younger one may be tall enough now without a stepstool...

12:26 am

Nef

so dc and stid have the same kind of visual abnormalities?

12:27 am

dcseain

dunno, mayhap, nef

12:27 am

stidmama

it appears we do nef... *compares eyeballs with seain*

12:27 am

dcseain

but that's an 8, best case, an S to me, nothing 5-like about it all

12:27 am

jillibus

I bet, stid -- how many feet has he grown lately?

12:27 am

Kazozz

talking of eyeballs..anyone got matchsticks lol

12:28 am

stidmama

at least an inch since I measured him middle of last month jill!

12:28 am

Nef

12:28 am

I need an SA - I have sa4 x 2, sa5 x 3, sa6 x 2 and sa7

2:46 am

ty hug couldn't have finished without you and everyone else's help!

2:50 am

the princess cut could have a better crown (casing), but that is easy to do. I would have it bezel set

2:50 am

joshuavorbis

got the W's with no problem!

2:50 am

Hugabugs

same goes for all your help and everyone else's also

2:50 am

Hmmm...I stumbled onto a jewelry expert!

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

mrp you are going to become our resident expert on jewelry!!! I didn't know you had that knowledge!!!

2:51 am

mrpresident

you did Jellen, I thought that is why you were asking me

2:51 am

mrpresident

I am a jeweller

2:51 am

Jellen

I just knew you had good taste!

2:52 am

mrpresident

awww, thanks hun!

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

cool mrp

2:52 am

Hugabugs

I never knew that about you mrp

2:52 am

Jellen

OMG! I did not know that!!! lol

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

I hated my first ring... kept hitting it on everything, thus breaking the prongs

2:52 am

Hugabugs

I have a weakness for jewels

2:52 am

Jellen

Do you think I should keep on looking? Or is the princess cut a good buy?

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

I love the channel set

2:53 am

mrpresident

the four prong setting is nice to show off the diamond, but the bezel setting is safer for the diamond

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

me, too, hug if I had scads of $, I would buy: jewelry, flower, crystal (cutglass), and china

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree mrp

2:53 am

mrpresident

the princess cut is a good buy! the colour is perfect and the clarity is very good!

2:53 am

Hugabugs

oh Dee - we are soooooo much alike

3:25 am

anike

I can;t imagine 43 degrees in Melbourne - I have never been in Melbourne when they have reached those temperatures. My first visit (32 years ago) in mid January , it poured with rain and haven't had much luck since.

3:25 am

Andree

why don't these tennis players wear cotton, nadal's shirt is sticking to him already

3:26 am

mrpresident

cotton gets too hot... the sports fabric is like an icepack

3:26 am

anike

I'm not trying to be derogatory about melbourne but I just have picked the wrong times to visit

3:26 am

grannyrose

it wouldn't matter, anike. the court temperature is so much higher, because of the enclosed area

3:27 am

demi

anike melbourne is one of those places where you can have four seasons in one day!

3:27 am

anike

I'm coming over to Phillip Island at the end of February - what's the weather like then?

3:27 am

mrpresident

hot... darn hot

3:28 am

grannyrose

lol, anike. don't you know our saying? if you don't like melbourne weather, wait 5 minutes, and it will change!

3:28 am

anike

Good - so long as its dry as well.

3:28 am

mrpresident

philip island is great though... sea breeze!

3:29 am

grannyrose

we are well known to have all 4 seasons in one day. and phillip island will be just perfect, if you like swimming.

3:29 am

mrpresident

we go to philip island in october... can be deadly cold or beautiful warm!

3:29 am

anike

My experience of Phillip Island is that there can be gale force winds coming in from the ocean. But I can't talk because I have those winds in my backyard at the moment.

3:31 am

grannyrose

except at motogp time, mrp. then it's either too hot, or too cold. have a photo of MM, wearing bike jacket, ear warmers, glovers, beanie, and.... sunglasses. go figure

3:31 am

mrpresident

rose, that is when we go!

3:33 am

anike

Happens.

4:37 am

Andree

kje i don't have them around i buy them for that purpose although they can be very handy to have in the house for allergies

4:38 am

kje

oooohhh - they are OTC there?

4:38 am

kje

phenergan is an anti-emetic... better meds for allergies with less side-effects out there

4:39 am

Andree

although i just looked at your age and 20 years ago when i was that age i would never consider a sleeping aid

4:39 am

kje

just looked at your age : )

4:39 am

Andree

phenergan side effects?

4:40 am

Andree

its funny about getting older, lots of things i would never do when i was younger

4:41 am

Andree

4:45 am

Andree

they are so evenly matched

4:46 am

kje

honestly? the most effective treatment, consistently proven in trials, is behavioral intervention and sleep hygiene... I am very anti-sleeping aid as they are associated with cognitive interruptions and falls and fractures in older adults... so that is my sopa box : )

herinfernallady

Not really. This version of clothes shopping was an imaginary game. What you do is go open your wardrobe, clean the bottom out. Try every thing on and toss out the crap, donate/sell what doesn't fit, put in the third pile clothes that I will fit into in a year clothes that need repairing

5:01 am

kje

got it - thanks

5:01 am

MonkeyGames

OK, time to wrap a birthday present for Walter's friend Kraiwin and feed the males. Back later!

Andree

hi herin, i have far too many clothes and these days if i buy something i make myself get rid of something

5:03 am

5:08 am

BabbleRabble

Women usually love what they buy, yet hate two-thirds of what is in their closets. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

5:09 am

kje

br.... you are in a room full of women, so be careful : )

5:09 am

manhammer

what is lickety's list?

5:10 am

Andree

wrong babble i only hate 1/2 of whats in my closet

5:10 am

kje

man - look at the links below the grid... there is one called lickety's babble clues... it lists the first 2 letters of each word with the number of letters per word and point value,,, very helpful

5:10 am

herinfernallady

BR I so totally agree. I only buy what I desperately need. I have lost about 2 sizes. So yes I would like to sit in class and not have to pull my underwear up every 5 minutes and twitch in my bra.

5:10 am

kje

man - if you scroll to the bottom of lickety's, it will tell you how to add your words you already have in bulk so that you can focus on what id missing

5:11 am

kje

and also - welcome to babble manhammer

5:11 am

kje

WOOHOO herin!!! for losing 2 sizes! wow!

Starbuck's delivery service...that would go over big in a young neighborhood...upper east side of new york, urban DC...hmmmm

8:36 am

Anniebrook

dan, you might have something there

8:36 am

dan2bit

hehe. The one near our grocery store has drive-thru, that was my inspiration :-)

time for me to consult the list

8:51 am

Nef

Morning fellow Babblers. I am unable to go to church this AM; the sewer backed up so we are waiting to get it cleaned out. Please distract me.

8:51 am

Madi95

hello there.

8:52 am

Nef

hi Madi

8:52 am

Nef

boy, is it quiet right now. Did I gross everyone out?

8:53 am

Madi95

i don't think so. :) the chat's been slow for a while

8:55 am

Nef

Darn. I was hoping some good chat would help my mood. We just had the drains clean 2 days before Thanksgiving; so to have this happen again is really frustrating

8:55 am

hurshy

alrighty, i'll do my bit

8:55 am

Madi95

ewwwww. i'm sorry to hear that.

8:55 am

Nef

hi Hurshy!

8:56 am

hurshy

hiya

8:56 am

Madi95

cute baby, hurshy

8:56 am

hurshy

apple fritter donut, anyone?

8:57 am

hurshy

yes, he is my nephew

8:57 am

Nef

well, I wanted it cleaned BEFORE the holidays because it's backed up on holidays before. So this is a nasty surprise (usually clean it every 1 1/2 years)

8:57 am

cybernan

mmm -- thanks hurshy

8:57 am

hurshy

isn't there a warranty on the cleaning or something?

8:57 am

Madi95

no thanks, hurshy. daddy brought me starbucks coffee :)

8:58 am

Nef

thanks, hurshy (love these internet snacks: non-fattening and tasty too!)

8:58 am

hurshy

pets are the best. you can be bored, ashamed, whatever - they have no idea, they just love you.

8:58 am

Nef

how old is your nephew? I'm *expecting* my first grandchild the end of April and am so excited!

8:59 am

hurshy

my nephew is 15 months

8:59 am

Nef

in that picture? He looks quite young there

8:59 am

Madi95

:( i wanted a little sister sooooo badly... mom says it's not gonna happen

8:59 am

Nef

(BTW, there better be a warranty on this!)

8:59 am

hurshy

that's at christmas, but he hasn't changed much

9:00 am

hurshy

he is small, but strong and active and smart :)

9:00 am

sadie52

hello all

9:01 am

Nef

oh! Now that I re-opened the picture and looked closer, he doesn't look as young as at first glance!

9:01 am

Nef

Madi, how old are you and your Mom?

9:01 am

Nef

morning sadie

9:02 am

Nef

entre

9:02 am

Nef

whoops! At least it isn't a word

9:02 am

Madi95

add one more vowel :)

9:03 am

Madi95

i'm 13, mom is 37

9:03 am

hurshy

weird. i just realized i dreamed that i was taking bread dough to a bakery and trying to get them to bake it for me. and i was trying very hard to find baked beans, which i don't even like, for a party.

9:04 am

Nef

true. I try not to play and talk at the same time since I do that nearly every time I try multi-tasking

9:04 am

Madi95

superbowl beans?

9:04 am

hurshy

yes.

9:04 am

Nef

very odd

9:05 am

Madi95

we don't even watch the superbowl, but my brother does. itt's a family tradition to rent movies and eat junk food on superbowl sunday

9:05 am

Nef

Madi, be nice to your Mom. If you are 13, she couldn't handle another baby! 13 year old girls need all the mothering they don't want! ;-)

9:06 am

hurshy

well it's chock full of symbolism, but i don't know if my subconscious made it that way or if it's just my conscious attributing it after the fact

9:06 am

Madi95

oh, i know. i understand why, that's why i babysit so many little gikrls, so i get my baby fill

9:06 am

Nef

LOL! Are you saying you are gassy and yeasty; or just dreaming of that?

9:07 am

Madi95

mmmmm yeast. reminds me of cinnamon rolls.

9:08 am

hurshy

no, you see, it represents my life. i have ingredients and i can put them together, but i can't come up with a useful product. (i have talents but no career focus). and i want to give to people (the beans) but i can't find the things to give them.

9:08 am

hurshy

so i wander and wander.

9:09 am

Nef

{{{Hurshy}}}

9:09 am

Madi95

or maybe it's a prophecy. maybe you'll be attacked by a killer fungi, and will become extremely gassy and can't cook for superbowl. :)

9:10 am

hurshy

it's ok... the romance of having a symbolic dream is actually a pleasant thing that takes the edge off my usual frustration with myself

9:10 am

Madi95

i'd start wearing a mask...

9:11 am

Nef

I don't know; the idea of trying to find someone to bake it for you might mean that you want someone to finish something you could do yourself.

9:11 am

hurshy

i'm not cooking for the superbowl anyway... :( my husband went to some of our old friends' for the day but i have to work tomorrow and didn't want to get back so late. so... no party for me.

9:11 am

JBV

back again - joining in on dreams - hurshy, all dreams are symbolic, most people don't pay attention to all the clues about themselves as you do

9:11 am

Nef

Roto Rooter guy is here and working now.....

9:12 am

Madi95

i'm lucky we are a baseball family. all our parties are at restaurants

9:12 am

JBV

i find them fascinating revelations about what is really going on despite our conscious efforts to distract ourselves

9:12 am

hurshy

i don't think ALL dreams are symbolic... rolling down a giant mound of spaghetti, for instance, is just silly.

9:12 am

JBV

but the rolling down, hurshy,.........

9:13 am

JBV

once you start putting them into words, some meanings become very clear

9:13 am

Nef

BOY! I don't dream of food like that! Rolling down a mound of spaghetti?

9:13 am

Madi95

i had a dream that my mom and aunt turned into bikers and rode to alaska together...

9:13 am

hurshy

yeah, but some don't! sometimes your neurons just fire randomly.

9:14 am

hurshy

well, it was running down the mound but as you can imagine it quickly BECAME rolling

9:14 am

JBV

but the interpretations connect the randomness

9:14 am

hurshy

well clearly i have a desire to be a meatball.

9:14 am

Madi95

dr6/30?

9:14 am

Nef

LOL!

9:15 am

Nef

brb

9:15 am

JBV

i always try to link the dream events to words, people, situations that actually happened - maybe you heard your mom talking about herself and her sister, etc., a random comment about alaska, it all comes together in the brain

9:16 am

Madi95

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.

9:16 am

JBV

see? that's what I mean, hurshy, you must have heard or remembered the song, hence the dream!

9:17 am

hurshy

oh madi, i never knew the part after mush, that's great

9:18 am

Nef

The sewer guy says we are covered by a warranty! No bill for today! Whoo Hooo!

9:18 am

hurshy

dr6 has the form of a horse's sound: n****

9:19 am

JBV

thanks for the dr6

9:19 am

Madi95

thanks

9:19 am

hurshy

well that seems only right, nef!

9:20 am

Nef

I agree. He says that a ball of roots from the last time must have stuck at the end of oour sewer and not dropped into the street main pipe and caused the problem today

9:21 am

Madi95

speaking of sewer, my mom looked at the water bill yesterday, and we use $40 worth or sewage removal. my dad's comment was, "well, i think it's worth every penny :)"

9:21 am

hurshy

roots like from tr4s, or roots from ro4 rooter

9:22 am

Nef

actually, it backed up last night and he couldn't come til this AM. I have this funny little water alarm called a "Leek Frog" that you put by the drain and if it senses water, it sounds an alarm. It went off last night. (Best $5 I've ever spent!)

9:23 am

hurshy

so, i haven't got either of the 8's, anyone know what they start with?

9:23 am

Madi95

re and ne

9:23 am

I tried eharmony and chemistry and didn't like either... match is okay, as long as you don't sit back and wait for the computer to do the work for you

11:37 am

nrkii

ooh, must check out POF

11:37 am

nrkii

thanks!

MetFan

POF was a washout, too - no one would e-mail me back, and the site kept sending me the same people week after week!

pugmama763

wider variety for heteros hon

11:38 am

nrkii

what annoyed me about eharmony was that it made you go through all these steps to find someone compatible, and in the end, they'd send me matches that were TOO FAR AWAY

11:39 am

MetFan

Yeah, butr there's gotta be at least A FEW people out there who aren't plastic and superficial!!!

pugmama763

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

worse yet are just garden variety jerks. you can only die once.

11:48 am

pugmama763

and phone chat etc.

11:48 am

jbp

11:48 am

nrkii

lol TO

11:48 am

MetFan

11:50 am

pugmama763

one schmuck I emailed said on profile likes intellectual women but could only send back a basically incoherent 1 line email asking for more pics and making some odd reference to busty

11:50 am

magazinemom

also I live on top of a large military installation, so lots of soldiers, which is not a problem, except that I am kind of tied here by job and family, so moving would be a difficulty

11:51 am

rururocks

Hi everyone

11:51 am

MetFan

Being tied to a place by your job is one thing, magmom, but don't let family keep you there - they'll all just screw you in the end.
