2:13 am

mrpresident

Andree, what did you have for dinner at the Helenic Club??

2:13 am

sprite

I am so glad, was feeling bad for her being in such pain.

2:14 am

mrpresident

little ones in pain is not good hey sprite? can only hold them and be there for them

2:15 am

sprite

I wonder every time why 'to tea' is not a verb in the english language. I tead with my friends... sounds so normal to me.

2:15 am

mrpresident

indeed sprite!

2:15 am

sprite

too true, mrP, and even though that does make a difference, you feel so powerless because you cannot take the pain away!

2:15 am

Andree

we were very late and the italian wad coffe shop were all that was still serving and all we could get was pizza, which amused me

2:15 am

Andree

one expects greek food

2:15 am

mrpresident

2:17 am

sprite

2:17 am

Andree

i don't think canberra unlike a trip to melbourne is renowned for its cuisine

2:18 am

joshuavorbis

i have a good friend who lives in canberra - i partook of the canberra nightlife and had pizza downtown

2:18 am

jillibus

sprite -- your zoo looks lovely!

2:18 am

mrpresident

2:19 am

sprite

mrP, I wish I could send you a bottle of high resistance against all baddies!

2:19 am

mrpresident

Andree, have you watched any of 'the biggest loser' ??

2:19 am

Andree

as my ex husband used to say, its a very well laid out city but then most dead bodies are

2:19 am

sprite

I seriously hate most zoos. Can't bear to see those animals suffer. But Emmen rocks.

2:19 am

sprite

lol Andree

2:19 am

mrpresident

LOL andree!

2:20 am

Andree

no mrp is it on now

2:20 am

sprite

can I postulate that a seahorse has a seahoof?

2:20 am

mrpresident

it is a bloody cry-fest! never seen such whinging.

2:21 am

jillibus

I remember as a child hearing about the Whipsnade Zoo in London where the animals were not enclosed they way they were in old zoos. I wonder what happened to it.

2:21 am

Andree

moving to living room now to watch

2:22 am

sprite

that is mostly how Emmen is build too, jilli. Where necessary, the visitors are enclosed!

2:22 am

jillibus

Well, time for bed here so goodnight all -- have fun babbling or whatever :D

2:22 am

sprite

sounds like a no-way-I-wanna-watch-that program, mrP, lol!

2:22 am

jillibus

that makes a lot of sense, sprite!

2:22 am

mrpresident

you would like Dubbo Zoo sprite, it is all open with big roaming areas... but the heat in summer is not right. Luckily they have a lot of African animals

2:23 am

mrpresident

sprite, it is a competition of weight loss... the people are obese. But this season, they are all crying, constantly

2:23 am

jillibus

There's a lot of shade at the Bronx zoo

2:23 am

sprite

sleep well, jilli! I hope your day was fun, the boatride was smooth and the play was amusing! And... the food great of course.

2:23 am

mrpresident

2:24 am

Andree

2:24 am

mrpresident

I want to visit the Bronx Zoo...

2:24 am

sprite

2:24 am

jillibus

all of that, sprite -- and the company was delightful too

2:24 am

mrpresident

sounds good to me, mrP, it is so good to watch animals who are having good lives.

2:25 am

mrpresident

ah, I didn't! was the wrong tense!

2:25 am

sprite

yay jilli! Just what the doctor ordered! Glad you had a good time. Dream of your day then :)

2:25 am

sprite

*everybody is scrolling back to find mrPs word...*

2:25 am

jillibus

will do, sprite -- and now *poof*

2:26 am

mrpresident

This season, they are doing 'biggest loser' couples... it isn't so good

2:26 am

jillibus

before I go -- did you see the link I posted a little while ago -- une's icon came from there:

2:26 am

sprite

ah mrP, you shouldn't chase our Andree away from Babble! Now I miss her!

2:26 am

saintfranny

does bob harper do the aussie version of that mrp?

2:27 am

mrpresident

she is still here sprite!! just drawn into the program for 5 minutes

2:27 am

jillibus

www.zooborns.com -- baby animal born at various zoos

2:27 am

Andree

i am still here sprite, just moved rooms

2:27 am

sprite

aw cute jilli! You unpoofer!

2:27 am

sprite

ah, ok, am glad Andree!

2:27 am

jillibus

now final *poof*

2:28 am

sprite

*giggle*
Sure, so you tell us...

2:28 am

mrpresident

I don't think so franny

2:28 am

Andree

is this a couples one mrp

2:29 am

mrpresident

yes andree... it is a strange way of running the program.

2:30 am

Andree

i guess they have run out of ideas

2:30 am

mrpresident

here come the tears again... even maddison thinks it is soap opera

2:33 am

sprite

so today the theme should be spelled ZUES

2:37 am

mrpresident

that is olympian gods then?

2:38 am

sprite

lol close. Animal displays... Zoos.

2:39 am

mrpresident

sprite, is Caya a fan of Rhianna? Cause maddie and her friends are quite shocked...

2:39 am

sprite

hmmm no don't think so... name doesn't sound familiar to me.

2:42 am

sprite

so why are you shocked?

2:44 am

mrpresident

Maddie is shocked... I guess she hasn't had much to say on domestic violence as she hasn't been a witness to any... and it is now a big thing to talk about.
I have had to have lots of chats about how and why.

2:45 am

sprite

sorry to be such a news dumbo. Do I understand correctly Rhianna is the victim of domestic violence and it has come out now?

2:47 am

mrpresident

oh yes, sorry... I should have explained better.
She got beaten up by her boyfriend (Chris Brown, 19, R&B singer)... he hurt her (Rhianna, 20) quite badly.
The children are unbelieving as he is such a 'nice guy' and has spoken out against domestic violence in the media in the past

2:49 am

Andree

suprising how much domestic violence comes from those you would least expect

2:49 am

sprite

wow, that IS shocking. And very necessary to discuss. One thing I have told my kids: it can happen to you once, but NEVER for a 2nd time!

2:49 am

mrpresident

indeed sprite! but it wasn't the first time... this has been an escalating problem between them. Maddie is shocked at that. Asking questions like... why didn't she leave him then?

2:50 am

sprite

what people say and do are often very different things, I can't say that surprises me.

2:50 am

mrpresident

Andree, surprising indeed! I watched a friend of mine almost die from it... and I would never have suspected for a second!

2:51 am

sprite

Maddie, girl, you rock. Exactly. Leave him. Right away and permanently. But it is awful for people with low self-esteem. They have a terrible battle to fight before they realise they deserve better.

2:52 am

joshuavorbis

6 left

2:52 am

mrpresident

what does surprise me is the people that think she 'deserved' it. Far out! That is an issue now...

2:53 am

sprite

deserved it??? NObody deserves a violent treatment. Ever.

2:54 am

sprite

why do they say that, do you know, mrP/

2:55 am

Andree

this is the line the abuser uses, you deserved it and its amazing how many wemen feel its true and therefore guilty

2:56 am

mrpresident

Young people are not necessarily told what a healthy relationship looks like, so they're not sure if someone could or could not be abusive ... what is the line? Domestic violence has been going on for so long, and it's such a part of our culture, on TV and in movies, that it's easy to say, 'She must have done something to deserve it.'

2:57 am

sprite

True, Andree. And it is such a load of bull. So... she does things you cannot live with? Move your ass over to another place and don't live with her anymore.

2:57 am

mrpresident

reader, "Zjera_Boo," wrote, "If what I hear is correct and Rihanna gave chris an STD, then she needed it, but they are right he is only human." Also alluding to the Internet rumors, "Boogababe" added, "You guys seem to be forgetting the real reason why he did it in the first place ... He did that coz he was mad * a girl he trusted and which he was with ... which turned around to put his life in jeopardy by infecting him with an STD???!!!?? Comm'on guys Rihanna had what was coming to her...Brusies can heal ova some time but putting your health on the line like that is hectic!"

2:58 am

sprite

indeed mrP. Lots of people grow up as people with low self esteem and continue to repeat an abusive pattern. It is a sad thing.

2:58 am

mrpresident

you see the problem here

2:59 am

sprite

STD = ? Sexual disease?

2:59 am

mrpresident

yes sprite

3:00 am

Andree

i do sprite, if that is true, i would want to lash out too

3:00 am

sprite

well, I can see the big flaw in that reasoning from afar. So he was mad. Sure, he may have a perfect right to be very mad. But since when is being very mad with a good reason a permit to hit?

3:01 am

mrpresident

sometimes in cases of domestic abuse, even women will fall into the victim-blaming pattern, saying, "These men aren't really responsible, they must have been provoked ... a man wouldn't 'just beat her like that for no reason."

3:02 am

sprite

yup, same faulty reasoning. Equalling one's right to be mad as hell with the right to use violence.

3:02 am

sprite

of course I am preaching to the whatsitcalled now, lol... just makes me so mad when people blame the victim.

3:03 am

mrpresident

it is unreal...

3:04 am

joshuavorbis

fireworks

3:05 am

sprite

gratz josh

3:05 am

mrpresident

yay josh :)

3:05 am

joshuavorbis

this grid wasn't so bad once i got NBT, though there are a couple of thorny ones

3:06 am

joshuavorbis

the fo5/18 is always an annoying one i forget when it's there

3:07 am

sprite

lol that were my first 2 words. Love the warm winds.

3:08 am

joshuavorbis

ha - i got it eventually. the lowest e was actually my last blank tile

3:08 am

sprite

my problem with this grid is all the phantoms, both english and dutch! I have already found like 289 words.

3:08 am

sprite

good job josh.

3:16 am

sprite

*waves*

3:16 am

3:17 am

mrpresident

some of these words have me stuck

3:17 am

sprite

yay! Glad you are still here, mrP!
Yes, same here, it was smooth as a baby's tush until near the end, and then BAFFFF brick wall.

3:19 am

hello and good-bye sprite, mrp and herin

4:49 am

mrpresident

hi west :)

4:49 am

westford

hi mrp

4:50 am

mrpresident

just reading about all these darling cats that got sick and died from a catfood imported from Canada

4:50 am

westford

oh dear I didn't hear about that

4:50 am

mrpresident

Today the cats' owners are going public to warn others about the dangers of irradiation, which is a quarantine process all imported pet food must undergo before it is able to be sold in Australia.

They believe the chemicals used in the treatment broke down ingredients in the Orijen food, causing it to become rancid, and poisoned the animals.

4:51 am

westford

what a shame

4:51 am

mrpresident

we have such strick quarantine procedures with all our foods, but this is ridiculous! Those poor animals

4:52 am

mrpresident

how are you west?? sorry to throw that at you btw

4:52 am

westford

I'm okay mrp how are you all things considered?

4:53 am

mrpresident

well, I have time to talk... kids have finally gone to bed (it is nearly 10pm)!!

4:53 am

westford

I'm happy you're here it's lonely playing alone

4:54 am

westford

I'm usually here a lot earlier but my sleep schedule is all messed up again

4:55 am

Kazzer99

morning all

4:55 am

mrpresident

Am doing ok hun... thanks for asking!
Maddison is doing better with her flu/throat infection, now she is on antibiotics.
Luke is happy that I allowed him to play Halo 3 with his dad, but they are only allowed to run around an empty base.
I am having issues sleeping, so I just don't!

4:55 am

mrpresident

are you on different schedules for work??

4:56 am

westford

no I just flopped down on the couch around 5 pm and woke up at 1 am

4:56 am

Rlee

good evening all

4:56 am

westford

hi rlee

4:56 am

mrpresident

Mind you... Luke admitted that playing Halo 3 was scary... and yet people let their kids play the violent game!!

4:56 am

mrpresident

oh west!! that nana nap gone wrong!

4:56 am

westford

I guess you could say that lol

4:56 am

mrpresident

I won't let him play where he is a potential target or he has to shoot at anyone

4:57 am

westford

I'm glad to hear both your children are doing better

4:57 am

westford

I wish they just wouldn't make those games

4:58 am

mrpresident

I have a funny one for you west!
I went to sleep at 4pm, woke up at 7.15.... climbed out of bed and walked to the family room... cause I couldn't work out why it was so quiet for 7.15am !!
I see the kids watching TV and Mark with a glass of wine.... it then started to dawn on me it was only 7.15PM!

4:59 am

westford

that turned out better for you then

4:59 am

westford

here it's still dark by 5 p.m.

4:59 am

mrpresident

indeed west! I am mean as a snake when it comes to what my kids can play on computer games.
Luke knows all about the violent games from his friends, but he isn't allowed near them.
I caught Lickety playing Halo with Luke when he was 7... I prompty took the xbox disc and smashed it, then threw it over the balcony

5:00 am

mrpresident

we have daylight saving! it seemed like it might be the morning with the light!!

5:00 am

westford

made your point !!!

5:00 am

mrpresident

Did indeed! He started storing all his M rated games with his porn!! LOL

5:01 am

westford

LOL

5:02 am

westford

how is your weather now? have things cooled down finally?

5:02 am

mrpresident

this grid is nice and sweet, until the last 15.

5:02 am

westford

the grids have been pretty frustrating lately

5:03 am

mrpresident

west, that is why we are all sick!! it went from 45C.... hot and disgusting with bad thunderstorms, to 17C... raining constantly and cold as heck!

5:03 am

Kazzer99

Fireworks for me so i am off again. Have a nice day everyone

5:03 am

westford

ugh

5:03 am

mrpresident

bye kazzer! wtg too!

5:03 am

westford

Yay kazz and you have a nice day too

5:04 am

mrpresident

am watching a self-confessed reality show on vanity... very very strange concept!

5:05 am

westford

those reality shows kill me I have enough reality in my own life

5:05 am

mrpresident

LOL west!! too true!

5:06 am

westford

we have a whole slew of them now maybe writers are in short supply

5:06 am

mrpresident

what amazes me, is that we only see 2% of the shows that are actually 'out' there!! every country has scores of them!

5:07 am

mrpresident

the word has become a voyeur

5:07 am

westford

I was just thinking that

5:08 am

westford

is the show on vanity informative or just someone blowing their own horn

5:09 am

mrpresident

it is a show about 10 'beautiful' people, over 10 weeks... they put them into the 'house', then introduce 3 people a week (new residents). They have to become accepted, or face elimination.... so they strut around like peacocks and try and get everyone on side!

5:10 am

mrpresident

the vanity is incredible!! they totally love themselves!! survival of the bitchiest it seems

5:11 am

westford

the only thing a show like that has to offer is to make people like us feel better about ourselves

5:11 am

westford

that we're not as shallow

5:11 am

mrpresident

I like shows like 'wifeswap'... shows that I am normal!

5:11 am

mrpresident

I just said that too! LOL... same wavelength tonight

5:11 am

westford

that show is pretty funny

5:12 am

mrpresident

I really like the british version

5:12 am

mrpresident

We see alot of american tv, so watching british people is 'refreshing'

5:12 am

westford

we only get the US version is there an Aussie version too?

5:13 am

mrpresident

not yet west... but I dont count it out.
You haven't seen the british version??

5:13 am

westford

have you made any decisions about the soccer committee meeting?

5:13 am

mrpresident

their lifestyle is completely different to anything I have seen!

5:13 am

westford

no haven't seen the brit version

5:14 am

mrpresident

west, I had to do lots of soccer work today, and I didn't have a chance to ask them what they wanted to do.
I haven't decided yet.... but think it will just be fingerfood and drinks!

5:14 am

westford

and partners invited?

5:15 am

mrpresident

the 'class' distinction in Britian comes through with wifeswap... they like to put low-income families with well-to-do, and watch the fireworks!

5:15 am

mrpresident

yes west, I put out an invite for partners, but don't know what will come of that. I think the committee will just come on their own as their partners are not 'soccer' inclined

5:16 am

westford

that's what those shows are mostly about reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket

5:16 am

mrpresident

oh I love 'keeping up appearances'!

5:16 am

westford

lol couldn't think of the name

5:16 am

mrpresident

"it is pronounced 'bouquet'!!" LOL

5:17 am

westford

she's such a character

5:17 am

westford

and her poor husband lol

5:17 am

mrpresident

bloody brilliant!! I also love Ab Fab! Eddie and Patsy!

5:18 am

westford

can't get that one any more

5:18 am

mrpresident

My favourite character in that show is her mother! 'Gran'... she is a total cack!

5:18 am

mrpresident

oh no! we have the series on DVD

5:18 am

westford

I'd watch all Brit TV if I could

5:19 am

mrpresident

do you have cable tv west?

5:19 am

westford

we have satellite TV about the same

5:19 am

westford

just not that much worth watching anymore

5:20 am

mrpresident

We get the UKTV chanel... it is very very good! but we have to pay for it.
However, we have ABC here, which is BBC on free to air. So we get to see terrific shows from Britian... we are part of the Commonwealth!!

5:20 am

westford

yeah we blew it in 1776 lol

5:21 am

mrpresident

LOL!! we just do research on that here!! When your new president won

5:21 am

westford

he's going to have a hard row to hoe but he's such a nice change from the idiot

5:22 am

mrpresident

indeed west! your nation is lucky to have it's people... so many diverse ideas... it made it easy to like the US people with all that diversity.... even though we knew the president was an idiot

5:22 am

Eva

good morning

5:23 am

westford

hello eva

5:24 am

mrpresident

hi eva :)

5:24 am

westford

thanks mrp people liking people in spite of the politicians is what it's all about

5:25 am

mrpresident

well, we can see a million miles away that you don't all agree with political stuff you are dealing with

5:25 am

Eva

that's a relief mrp

5:26 am

westford

you can say that again!

5:27 am

Eva

I'm just concerned about the number of very conservative old guard people obama is surrounding himself with. I understand his desire to be less partisan, but that kind of conservative thinking is not what most of us voted for, and his reaching across the aisle is not being reciprocated

5:28 am

westford

he's reaching but they're not reaching back for the most part

5:28 am

Eva

Just waiting and letting them get settled, which is hard given what they have inherited.

5:29 am

westford

here's a mess, now clean it up

5:29 am

mrpresident

eva, he will learn... he is very young and has much ahead of him.

5:29 am

Eva

let's hope mrp!

5:29 am

mrpresident

indeed west... that is what our prime minister was given too

5:30 am

Eva

There also are things he can do very little about....like the financial mess, and I hope that people will understand that a year or two from now when things are, perhaps, even harder than they are now.

5:30 am

mrpresident

we have a heap of sh** to go through still... these wars are costing the US too much, and there is little hope of the US staying on top.

5:34 am

mrpresident

I just pray for your president... he is a huge political target. Best wishes to him and his family.

5:34 am

Eva

it's been a long time since anyone was praying for our president(-:

5:35 am

Eva

although I think many prayed for the last one to be elsewhere

5:36 am

mrpresident

well, the stimulus package is all well and what-not, but here is an idea.... create jobs! I can't believe how many people are unemployed!!

5:38 am

westford

just sneaked away to make toast missed dinner and breakfast won't be for awhile

5:39 am

Eva

I know. And I think they are trying. There are so many theories about what is needed, anywhere from much, much larger infusions of capital to letting things just die off. We, and much of the rest of the world, spent a long time working ourselves into this utterly unrealistic web of greed and dreamlike asset prices.....there's a long way to fall before we have our feet on the ground again, and many people, especially those with the least, are going to be terribly hurt.

hi lori :)

5:41 am

too much of 'I have mine and too bad if you don't'

5:41 am

5:45 am

westford

how funny

5:46 am

Atalante

offically she walks him at weekends

5:46 am

LoriP

Eva, of course that came out poorly, as I look back. It goes without saying (in my mind) that the politicians don't ever see what the people see when an economic collapse like this appears.

5:46 am

carleekat

good morning all :o)...tackle hug **loriP**

hi everyone! is Judi here?

5:48 am

Eva

I thought that you said was very sensible Lori. Of course we have enough insanity world round to keep us company. Just read very depressing report re global warming this morning and the US has now been outpaced by China and India as the no 1 contributors

5:48 am

Eva

moring calree and to

5:49 am

every day is Valentine's day here carlee lol

5:49 am

carleekat

hi TO

5:49 am

LoriP

G'd morning TO! Haven't seen her yet, but she may be lurking.

5:49 am

Eva

one of those (many) times when I wonder whether human beings are such a good idea

5:51 am

carleekat

well...Eva... all any of us can do the best we can... making as little impact as possible on those things that are delcate...and get involved as much as u feel you can to make our communities a bit better...

5:51 am

Atalante

cow dung can power batteries for electricity in poorer areas of India. there, that's a good thing

5:51 am

Eva

switching gears here from gloom and doom....yesterday while I was washing dishes I looked out at the bird feeder and there were two does, each with a fawn, sitcking their tongues into the bird feeder holes and gobbling away at the sunflower seeds.

5:51 am

carleekat

think how great all our communities would be if EVERYONE volunteered just 2 or 3 hours a week

5:52 am

LoriP

lol Eva, deer are just large rats (IMO) but how cute is that?

5:52 am

Eva

the small community we live in here in Vermont is wonderful that way....trying to keep things local, taking care of each other as well as we can

5:52 am

LoriP

Snippit from the History of crap Ata Hari?

5:53 am

Eva

Lori-I'm schizo about deer. During the summer I curse them for eating my garden, but in the winter I love them.

5:53 am

Atalante

yep!

5:53 am

carleekat

so...another little grid..r we liking it....?

5:53 am

LoriP

If you don't take care of each other, I guarantee Government won't do it for ya'.

5:53 am

72 Temple Owl

*makes sign of cross and hold up crossed fingers* dear god, it will b e a long drive today, pls protect all of those deer from our cars. amesn>

5:53 am

Eva

I liked it for the first 66 words. Now not so much

5:53 am

Atalante

I wanna moose

5:53 am

LoriP

Eva, it is a paradox, isn't it....

5:54 am

carleekat

i love moose meat

5:54 am

LoriP

I have 53 left, but I'm going from top to bottom for the first sweep

5:54 am

Atalante

I wanna see one

5:54 am

Eva

mine have taken to leaping across the driveway as I come up it....several near misses.

5:54 am

LoriP

TO, it's the same here. So many deer strikes it's unbelievable.

5:55 am

72 Temple Owl

i am SERIOUSLY in terror of them

5:55 am

carleekat

not so much around here....

5:56 am

LoriP

Between my Sis, her hub and their son, 5 vehicle/deer collisions.....

5:56 am

Atalante

we just get suicide bunnies here, though we do have deer

5:56 am

Eva

We don't have that many deer accidents though. Might be because it is so sparsely populated with plenty of forest for the deer, so they don't have to cross roads that often.

5:56 am

carleekat

lots of suicide raccoons here

5:56 am

72 Temple Owl

ata: hitting a bunny is sad but notfatal

5:57 am

LoriP

We need a deer cull, but that's very not politically correct now.

5:57 am

Eva

Frogs in the spring. Hate squishing them in the midst of their mating frnezy. Seems very unfair.

5:57 am

carleekat

I always wondered what I would do if I killed a deer...would Itake the thing home and get butchered for venison?

10:11 am

10:11 am

Haz1558

Watchmen had better not be about those Security Guards who have to sit about in buildings at night.

10:11 am

Scrabbler

I am going to watch "Rendition" later today.

10:12 am

featherbee

hubby saw taken and loved it

10:12 am

Haz1558

I suppose Watchmen could be about Swiss Jewellers as well.

10:12 am

movieman

Watchmen: When an ex-superhero is murdered, a vigilante named Rorschach begins an investigation into the murder, which begins to lead to a much more terrifying conclusion

10:12 am

I was waiting for him to take his shirt off during the movie. Alas, it did not happen. He's annoyingly clothed throughout.

10:16 am

Haz1558

Since when does a plural require an apostrophe?

10:16 am

FMitch

10:17 am

11:07 am

Uniquity

No, but she seems to think so. Thing is, as soon as the tub is drained, she is right in there for a romp!

11:07 am

Atalante

of course! that's cats for you!

11:07 am

Uniquity

She also drinks out of the toilet and sleeps in the sink. She is a backward sort of girl.

11:08 am

Atalante

Sily hates the rain, but every time Hobbit goes outside for a wee, Sily throws herself against the door in a fit of angst trying to get out

11:08 am

Uniquity

Heh. Sily sounds like a very good cat of glory. She must survey her entire kingdom.

11:09 am

Oh dear, Emma was just placed in the water. She is displeased. Hey Ruru!

Em is finally learning to appreciate the windows. Soon she will be up high surveying us. She learns well.

11:11 am

hi everyone, can you please help with a clue for the so5/12? It's my last word and I just can't seem to see it at all....

11:13 am

Atalante

Sily sits on top of the boiler, right by the ceiling. Once, though, when she was a kitten, she managed to get up onto the rafters in my bedroom - these rafters are about 12 foot off the floor (we have a doublle height room). She was very sad and very worried. and she had to fling herself off the beam into my arms (with me standing on a tea chest on the bed)

11:14 am

Uniquity

Oh poor Sily!

11:15 am

11:49 am

rururocks

hiya lynxxx

11:49 am

edithjones

he's the least violent kid i know, also rarely gets angry - i think this is a way to channel his aggression so it doesn't come out in other parts of his life.

11:50 am

edithjones

teenage boys have a lot of natural aggression - comes with the testosterone and letting it out somewhere safe is a good idea. working out helps as well.

11:50 am

rururocks

I mean we have guns as little boys.. but a lot of those games are vicious and overly violent.. yuck

11:50 am

Atalante

I'd rather have ppl play video games than be easily able to get real guns

11:51 am

rururocks

Tell that to the people at Columbine ata..

11:51 am

edithjones

i agree ata. and when he's not playing the video games he is kind and gentle and spends a lot of time cooking as he plans to be a chef.

11:52 am

Atalante

how did they get hold of their guns?

11:52 am

rururocks

good he can get violent with chicken...

11:52 am

rururocks

Stupid parents I think Ata..

11:52 am

Atalante

hi car

11:53 am

edithjones

ruru, i think there will always be exceptions to every rule, and some of those exceptions will end badly. what i do know is that it works for him, so i allow it in my house. and as i'm only parenting one teenage boy, that's what i need to concern myself with.

11:53 am

lynxxx

en5/6 if you put up with something you en**r* it

11:53 am

edithjones

i don't get that et clue, ruru - it was given before and i was just as thick about it then!

BabbleRabble

yeah, this grid has a lot of words that begin with the letters they begin with

12:35 pm

tygerbryght

they say the veins (not the arteries) in my lower legs aren't very good anymore, and it promotes cellulitis, apparently :sigh:

12:35 pm

jesdraggon

sorry, tyger; that sounds unpleasant

12:35 pm

tygerbryght

12:47 pm

BabbleRabble

have you slew the flu, stid?

12:47 pm

stidmama

pretty much, BR, just some residual tiredness and headache. The worst was day before yesterday.

12:47 pm

stidmama

my recommendation: don't catch it. even with the flu shot this year it really took me out.

12:49 pm

stidmama

halfway... now working on a couple blank tiles

12:49 pm

BabbleRabble

as slow as I am, for me to catch it, the flu would have to be moving backwards

12:49 pm

BzznBea

Clue for SO5, please?

12:50 pm

stidmama

rofl

12:50 pm

stidmama

hello bea! *waits for clue*

12:53 pm

stidmama

oh, found one...

12:54 pm

stidmama

almost no blanks. *squints at grid* will be glad when my eyeballs are back to normal and I can wear my glasses again.

12:54 pm

BabbleRabble

12:56 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, babrab

12:58 pm

BabbleRabble

no 7 --- the most accomplished quidnunc

12:58 pm

stidmama

hm. never heard that latin term before. interesting meaning, BR!

12:59 pm

jesdraggon

the who did what now, bab?

12:59 pm

jesdraggon

i mean, i have the word already, but that clue still confused me ;)

12:59 pm

stidmama

quidnunc means "busybody" according the online dictionary... latin for "what now?"

12:59 pm

jesdraggon

huh

1:00 pm

jesdraggon

learn something new everyday

1:00 pm

stidmama

I need one more tile for NBT. the upper-most E please?

1:00 pm

stidmama

indeed, jes. and thanks to BR my day is actually already complete *considers going back to bed a calling it a victory...*

1:01 pm

jesdraggon

et7, stid

1:01 pm

stidmama

et 7... thanks. *thinking*

1:01 pm

jesdraggon

hehe. good plan! but that would make my back hurt, so instead i'll stay up and finish re-hairing this My Little Pony

1:02 pm

BabbleRabble

an ar before the t would make the et a natural well

1:02 pm

stidmama

thanks BR *thinking*

1:02 pm

stidmama

got it!!!

1:03 pm

stidmama

we have lots of those around here actually... remember the rainier beer commercials from the 80s?

1:03 pm

stidmama

down to 30 and no blanks...

1:03 pm

BabbleRabble

sure do

1:04 pm

jesdraggon

raaaiiiiineeeeeerrrr commercials?

1:04 pm

stidmama

those were so corny -- but memorable. we had some good Ivar's commercials, too. I miss Ivar...

1:04 pm

stidmama

oh! and Cal Worthington and his "dog" spot...

1:04 pm

BabbleRabble

hamms beer

1:05 pm

BabbleRabble

not rainier, but from the land of sky blue waters

1:06 pm

stidmama

indeed they were. until they bought up Olympia Brewing and ran it into the ground... *grumpy mama look*

1:06 pm

stidmama

or was it the South Africans they sold it to who did that?

1:07 pm

stidmama

"It's the Water" no more... the last owners attached a clause that no future owners could do any bottling from that location.

1:07 pm

mcurlschool

yeah, I get to see the deserted decaying Olympia Brewery building everyday, it's really sad

1:07 pm

stidmama

hello mccurl. yes, it really devastated the tumwater-littlerock economy. They are still trying to recover.

1:08 pm

mcurlschool

fight now days is who has the rights to those incredible wells.

1:08 pm

stidmama

and every month that building is empty, you know it's getting closer to being just torn down instead of used. such a waste.

1:08 pm

mcurlschool

hi stid

1:09 pm

BabbleRabble

During the 1970s, Olympia acquired Hamm's and Lone Star. Olympia Brewing also produced Buckhorn Beer

1:09 pm

mcurlschool

I remember going through that building, as a kid, for the tour and those enormous copper vats; they were incredible. I actually have a beer glass from the brewery......coveted by several family members

1:09 pm

BabbleRabble

The Schmidt Family, which owned and operated the Brewery and company, elected to sell to Heilemann's Old Style Beer Company in 1982. Heilemann's was subsequently purchased by Pabst in 1983

1:10 pm

stidmama

yes, and it smelled so very very good -- I loved how warm the room with the vats was.

1:10 pm

mcurlschool

ohhhhhh the memories!

1:10 pm

BabbleRabble

As with many other regional breweries, ownership of this brewery eventually passed through several corporations including Pabst, G. Heileman, and Stroh's, until the brewery was eventually purchased by SABMiller.

1:10 pm

stidmama

Ah, thanks BR -- acquisitions all over the place.

1:10 pm

BabbleRabble

Miller closed the Olympia brewery on July 1, 2003 citing the unprofitability of such a small brewery.

1:11 pm

stidmama

And now the big thing really is "microbrews" -- getting the beer locally again. The more things change...

1:11 pm

mcurlschool

it really doesn't matter who sold what to whom......it's just sad when something so historical goes under regardless of what it is.

1:12 pm

Pinikula

Good (still barely) morning gang...

1:12 pm

stidmama

Yes, and sad that my children never had a chance to go through the brewery... they could have, I suppose but somehow we always thought we could go "later"

1:12 pm

jesdraggon

morning, pini

1:12 pm

stidmama

hello pini!

1:13 pm

Pinikula

Isn't it a bit early to be drinking....oh, wait, you're all reminiscing...I remember the Rainier and Olympia breweries, too!!!

1:13 pm

stidmama

down to 26. I think I will list now.

1:14 pm

mcurlschool

my oldest daughter was the only one of my kids that got that opportunity but she was young enough that she doesn't matter. She loves the old building though and the ability to tell her daughter stories about the place.

1:15 pm

mcurlschool

sorry that was doesn't remember!!!

1:15 pm

stidmama

Yes, it is such a fixture, both architecturally and socially. Though I have to admit the new building's peculiar color always depressed me. I much preferred the old brick one (which was long before my time)

1:15 pm

mcurlschool

hey pini

1:15 pm

BabbleRabble

wonder if the methane produced in the brewery was captured and used to heat or cool it

1:15 pm

Trifioso

Howdy all. Goin To Try To finisH my LasT 29, buT my keyboard is aCTing weird....

1:16 pm

Pinikula

In lieu of my girls seeing the breweries...we live fairly close to King Estate Wineries (build in the tradition of a true French vinyard and winery). It's barrel vaults are absolutely incredible...so if you want to "reminisce" and a winery can substitute, it's worth the trip!

1:16 pm

sprite

hi all, have new puppy pics, going to upload them now :)

1:16 pm

stidmama

no BR, that was long before such ideas were in vogue

1:16 pm

1:17 pm

stidmama

oh, my manners! pini -- this is mccurl -- mccurl, pini!

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

mcurlschool

so nice to meet you Pini

1:18 pm

Pinikula

1:18 pm

stidmama

okay, I will have to look them up.

1:18 pm

Pinikula

no worries, stid...

1:18 pm

stidmama

mccurl, wouldn't it be funny if we met someday on purpose and realized we had passed each other in town all these years?

1:18 pm

Pinikula

now, that would be funny!!! ;)

Pinikula

Here's a tidbit of info for you, Stid...the constrution company I used to work for won an Oregon award for the single largest concrete pour (barrell vaults) when they were contracted to build the winery! :)

1:20 pm

stidmama

wow... that must have been an impressive line-up of mixer trucks!

1:21 pm

Pinikula

...and out in the boonies to boot!!!

1:21 pm

BabbleRabble

Pinikula

1:22 pm

sprite

1:28 pm

jesdraggon

white yarn, yeah, she'll end up on the blog; she's the gift for one of the people in that meme thing from a few weeks ago.

1:29 pm

stidmama

I missed the meme theme. For some reason even though I am taking only a half-time program I am working nearly as hard as last quarter! My computer time is limited unless I am home sick.

1:30 pm

stidmama

down to 5...

1:30 pm

jesdraggon

oh, it's basically a sign up and i'll make something for you thing, but limited to 7 people, and you have to post the same offer in your blog

1:30 pm

stidmama

sounds like a fun activity! a lot of the crafter's blogs I enjoy do that regularly

1:30 pm

stidmama

Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king,
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing:
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

Hi all. I am just popping in to take a peek. Even though it's a small grid, I doubt I'll finish. I am just too tired!

1:36 pm

stidmama

that is nice. one of the Stidkids had school Monday, went for two hours Tuesday and then because of the snow his school closed (roof damage in Dec means they can't be in the building if there is any accumulation).

1:36 pm

stidmama

hey michnick!

Hey Deb - how many left?

2:04 pm

fuquayvarina

ought to be able to monkey it then... swings from branches, upside down...

2:05 pm

Uniquity

The only one that didn't appear easily to me was fo5 - add the canadian noise and a consonant.

2:05 pm

TinaB

what does 'to monkey it' mean? Is it when you have a good guess?

2:05 pm

fuquayvarina

got that one, uni, thanks. probably a fish....

2:05 pm

Uniquity

Monkeying is trying letter combinations that you wouldn't necessarily think normally. The monkeys do the hard work..it's like the phrase monkeying around.

2:06 pm

Uniquity

Do you have the cheese fo5? Best for parties, I hear.

2:06 pm

TinaB

Okay - and what about 'fish'?

2:06 pm

fuquayvarina

or like monkeys on typewriters randomly generating Shakespeare...

2:06 pm

Uniquity

A fish is a word that is easy and common that you 'should' get anyway

2:06 pm

Uniquity

We are big on animal terms..

2:06 pm

debs63

27 left tina

2:06 pm

Thanks uni, i am now up on the technical terminology x

2:08 pm

HarryHood

hi fuq

2:08 pm

Uniquity

Honestly, no. I have been here for two years and we have used it in that time. It used to be (more commonly) that someone gives you a fish when you miss an easy words, but now the words themselves are considered the fish. Maybe because so many babblets are obscure fish?

2:08 pm

fuquayvarina

more than one IN6?

2:08 pm

fuquayvarina

sorry, more than 2?

2:08 pm

2:14 pm

I prefer to slap with the fish, or throw it at people...you can also tell an 'aged' player by clues. (if they ask, how/when they ask). It's nigh a science.

MetFan

5:20 pm

lil*monkey

however, in my mind, I think he's probably toast

I would have expected a call, but would let it go in case like Krista said he was worried it was too much too fast.

5:20 pm

MetFan

Whoops - monkeying in the wrong box again!!!

i would have had no idea what to order without Seain there

6:05 pm

Pinikula

sometime we, on the west coast, should have a little babble-together ;)

6:05 pm

stidgmere

It is certainly a group of talkers. I am usually a listener so I really enjoy the experience--not really necessary to talk since that is the strong suit of most of the Babblers.

6:05 pm

MetFan

Who'da thunk that a bunch of Babble nerds could be such good-looking people!!!

6:05 pm

CiociaJudy

Ditto Krista.

6:05 pm

Uneaixoise

OK i must run now... bye all :)

6:20 pm

dcseain

hasta, lil*, t'was lovely seeing you again

6:20 pm

PAV3

well, now the predicament...windows side of 'puter (mac-mini, partitioned for both Win and Mac OS) suffered a mal-virus and nearly crippled me in midst of finishing a grid last week. IT folks at work told me to just go Mac, erasing Windows on the c:drive...in so doing, my external drives now cannot be added to because Mac doesn't give me - the ADministrator - any rights...big security issue on Mac side. Understandable, but now can't move files into safer places using Mac...

6:20 pm

Minveryork

Bye lil*monkey!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

6:20 pm

Pinikula

tc lil*...glad you had a good time, too

6:21 pm

6:22 pm

Pinikula

thx min...how are you?

6:22 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well. I finished at 5:44. Monkeyed the et7.

6:23 pm

PAV3

m thinking about re-partitioning drive to add Win side again, and yes I'll get the anti-virus software...DC...I have to "reformat" the external drives to allow file sharing and movement...which would cost me some 300Gb of stuff collected over the years,, taxes, bdugets, recipes, letters, etc...

6:23 pm

Pinikula

well done!!!

6:23 pm

dcseain

oh, gotcha, pav

6:24 pm

dcseain

i've used XP online for years, and never had a virus issue.

6:24 pm

dcseain

6:24 pm

Pinikula

not what you might call a good day, eh, pav?

6:24 pm

PAV3

I could prob go into work and move files arund ..they use USB ports to connect...I have to go in anyhwhooo and "clean up"

6:24 pm

dcseain

BabbleRabble

do white herons need paxil too?

7:58 pm

phandmd

That is according to one of my bird books, I forget which one exactly

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

it is easier for white birds to blend into groups for protection, so they stay white for a long itme.

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

Hi BR.

7:58 pm

Krista

i did not know that, ph and red..cool! nighty night

I saw a purple feathered heron once...

7:59 pm

jmcnrick

7:59 pm

BabbleRabble

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

8:00 pm

rururocks

but he was listening to punk music and had piercings.. so I figured that it wasn't natural

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

8:00 pm

phandmd

even though he is standing in the lake, he really didn't like water, my daughter was playing with her friend and the friend's dog who loves the water

8:09 pm

redturtlehead

I did enter this photo in a contest, but I think it wont win, I saw some of the other entries. they were fantastic.

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

a horseshoe crab isn't so bad provided it was dead before you found it

8:09 pm

rururocks

8:09 pm

redturtlehead

No a live one.

10:44 pm

Pinikula

oh, hi, dorens!

10:45 pm

Pinikula

how are ya?

10:45 pm

Dorens

long day.... skiing. sleigh riding, drinking and playing games with my kids. and here i am

10:45 pm

Dorens

and you?

10:45 pm

Pinikula

Wow...you were busy!!!

10:45 pm

Pinikula

I took Koda for a 2-hour walk...

10:46 pm

Dorens

yes i was, and tired eyond belief, but babble i must (much to ken's chagrin)

10:46 pm

Dorens

2 hour walk is impressive.. how was your weather?

10:46 pm

Pinikula

such a diehard! ;)

10:47 pm

Pinikula

it started out around 50F...but cooled off quicker than I'd hoped...but no rain (a good thing)

10:47 pm

Dorens

ah.. warmer than new hampshire

10:47 pm

Pinikula

sounds like it

10:48 pm

Dorens

yah-- cross country skiing for a newbie like me is NOT fun whenthe tracks are pure ice

10:49 pm

Pinikula

I haven't skiied since I was about 6 yo in Alaska (and the ski's were only about 18" long)

10:49 pm

Dorens

wow. where did you grow up?

10:50 pm

Pinikula

<-- former military brat...all over the place

10:50 pm

Dorens

ah... i underestand..... but alaska?

10:51 pm

Pinikula

Ft. Wainwright is up there

10:52 pm

Dorens

very different life from growing up in one town from K - college

10:52 pm

Pinikula

yes, very...but I guess I can say I'm "well traveled"

10:53 pm

Dorens

as a a guidance counselor, i am aware of how different it is for the children who have made more than one move in their young lives... has its advantages and disadvantages, as do many situations

10:54 pm

Pinikula

I can speak from experience about at least some of the trials and tribulations...but in the end...I wouldn't trade it for the world...

10:54 pm

Pinikula

I've been to, visited, and/or lived in 43 states and 13 countries in my lifetime.. ;)

10:55 pm

Dorens

exactly - it had to have caused some hardships... but in the long run... many good things have come from it

10:55 pm

Pinikula

...I have a sister-in-law who was born and raised in the same place...left the state the first time on a date with my brother...

10:56 pm

Pinikula

...they live in Germany now (for about the last 12 years)...and absolutely love it.

10:56 pm

Dorens

and you wouldn' t trade places with her for that upbringing, would you?

10:56 pm

Pinikula

(he's in the military)

10:57 pm

Pinikula

Oh, gosh, no...definitely wouldn't trade places...I learned so much about everything: people, cultures, areas, etc., etc., etc.

10:57 pm

Dorens

good then

10:58 pm

Pinikula

=]

11:00 pm

Pinikula

I rather think, having been to so many places, I have a shorter list than others who "want to see the world"

11:00 pm

Pinikula

...and, go figure, still absolutely love to travel!

11:01 pm

Dorens

ah, but seeing other places enriches life so

11:01 pm

Pinikula

How about yourself...like to travel?

11:01 pm

Dorens

well, i have 21 left and think listing is imperative now, listening to snoring and thinking sleep sounds like a great idea about now

11:02 pm

Pinikula

uh oh...let me know if I can help!! :)

11:02 pm

Pinikula

you can do it!

11:03 pm

Dorens

love to travel, but do get stuck in the same places..... just planned a trip to paris, my favorite city, for my 60th birthday. with all my kids.. meanng lots of $$. been to paris four times since 2000, but still need to go back

11:03 pm

Pinikula

wow!!! just about every 2 years...well done!!!

11:04 pm

Pinikula

My next trip (I hope) will be to the British Isles and Scandinavia...

11:04 pm

Dorens

this came up at the drunken dinner tonite with my sons... we usually go to martha's vineyard every summer... and will this summer. but I needed something special for 60 and had always thought it would be an alaskan cruise, but tonight realzied that if they wanted paris, so did I!

11:05 pm

Dorens

ok. listing now

11:05 pm

Pinikula

I'll bet you can't wait until your birthday!!!

11:05 pm

Pinikula

how exciting...

11:05 pm

Pinikula

...I loved touring The Louvre, Notre Dame, Arch de Triumph, etc., etc., so many places...

11:06 pm

Dorens

birthday i jan... trip in the summer (work in school... summer vacation still rules my life)

11:07 pm

Pinikula

I work at school (Uni), too...but I don't get "summers" off...darn it!

11:07 pm

Pinikula

happy belated b-day!

11:07 pm

Dorens

thanks. it was!

11:08 pm

Dorens

what do you do? (i'm counselor)

11:08 pm

Pinikula

I'm a Business Manager for two smaller departments on campus (one is a Master's program, the other is for undergrads and grad certs)

11:09 pm

Dorens

like it?

11:11 pm

Pinikula

Actually, I do...keeps me very busy...although lately is been a bit overwhelming...we're moving one of the departments (my primary) across campus to a new space with only 6 weeks notice (and planning the move while classes and other regular work in the middle of term is the only part that has been hair raising).

11:12 pm

Dorens

yup - challenges and adversity do keep it new, don't they?

11:12 pm

Pinikula

now, that's an understatement! :)

11:12 pm

Pinikula

how do you like counseling? what age group? high school?

11:13 pm

Dorens

oh no. K - 8, which means realliy counseling, not guidance. love it.. every day something different

11:14 pm

Dorens

and a chance to make a difference in their lives, help some who really need it.. nothing could be more satisfying

11:14 pm

Pinikula

I don't ever really remember counselors in elementary school...what kinds of things are kids experiencing nowadays??

11:15 pm

Pinikula

I hear ya on helping those who really need it...it's rather fun working with freshman...still rather "wet behind the ears"...

11:15 pm

Pinikula

...just being a good role model gives them some comfort. ;)

11:16 pm

Dorens

it runs the gamut.. from divorce at home. to parents being put in jail, beatings, incest, drug abuse by parents.... to friends who won't play with them,,, anger management, impulse control.. poor social skills ( a lot of this seems to point to incompetent parents, now that i think of it)

11:17 pm

Pinikula

wow...I can't even imagine...where was all this when we were younger?

11:18 pm

Pinikula

how are you coming along with the list? be sure to let me know if you want any helpful hints...

11:18 pm

Dorens

swept under the carpet to some degree... but there was less of it. More stay at home moms. more parents taking control of their kids and paying attention

11:18 pm

Pinikula

or...bottom line...more parents simply "cared"? hmmmm...

11:20 pm

Dorens

oh i dont know. I think folks today are probably doing the best they can, just need better modeling or something

11:21 pm

Dorens

and material things seem to matter more. when i wa growing up, if you didn't have a color tv, so be it. today you need so many expensive toys. people barely putting food o the table still have to own these expensive game boxes.. x boxes, etc

11:22 pm

Pinikula

perhaps...I wonder if part of it is a result of "respect" or lack thereof (oh, how times have changed)...the idea of an adolescent not using a title for an adult still gets me...things as simple as that...

11:22 pm

Dorens

yah, a lot less respect today

11:22 pm

Pinikula

so true so true (on the electronic aspect)

11:22 pm

Dorens

feel like an old fuddyduddy saying that tho

11:23 pm

Pinikula

(Koda's tugging on my jeans...need to run him outside for a moment)...

11:23 pm

Dorens

k

11:23 pm

Pinikula

Hey, don't feel old!!! I still call our family friend of 30 yrs by MR and his wife, MRS....and I'm 48 yo now!!! I just can't feel comfortable calling them Bert and Millie!
