BabbleRabble
Your icon
3:15 am
rbud
oh, but it's Betty Boop's version of Oz, so he must be the little guy in the yellow hat in front - easier to see in the bigger version.
3:17 am

hi again lynxx
3:18 am
Andree
hi everyone
3:21 am
Andree
how is everyone this lovely evening, heard you had another earth tremor lynxxx
3:23 am
lynxxx
Very well Andree. I missed this one but heard about it. Lovely evening down here too
3:25 am
sandyloo
lovely evening here , not too hot but i didnt hear about the tremor either is it in victoria?
3:26 am
rolin

3:26 am
rolin
morning all..btwe
3:30 am
lynxxx
hi Rolin, yeah coming from same area. I didn't feel this one. Happened about an hour or so ago
3:30 am
sandyloo
hi rolin
3:31 am
bfsog
see if you enter a word in the grid while the page is loading, the word shows up in "My Word List" but the corresponding tile does not reflect you getting the word. if you go on to add ther words they too do not get "remembered" - you have to refresh
3:32 am
rolin
what area is it coming from lynxxx?
3:32 am
lynxxx
around Korumburra
3:33 am
lynxxx
are you talking about when using BabbleExpert bfsog?
3:35 am
lynxxx
BBL must org some dinner
3:35 am
bfsog
no playbabblle.com - if you start entering words before the page is loaded they are seemed to be taken by the grid but a refresh clears the words entered
3:35 am
bfsog
no big deal but if you entered a word while page was loading then complete the grid a refresh would take away your fireworks!
3:42 am
Andree
is the first fi7 related to the following 10
3:45 am

greetings, babblers
3:47 am
fuquayvarina
I'm just getting started -- the only fi7 I have so far is related to where movies are made
3:48 am
mrpresident
hi andree!!
3:49 am
mrpresident
we are on for the 28th March now... for sure! no doubt! it is happening!
Lickety is sick again this week... he just seems to go backwards.
I say he is working too much
3:49 am
rbud
fi7 - same 1st 4 letters as the 10, then ends like a rainbow-making crystal - pr***
3:50 am
Andree
still sick, poor lickety, maddie better yet?
3:50 am
mrpresident
she is better, but has her bad days too... spent the weekend sleeping
3:50 am
rbud
strange word...
3:51 am
sandyloo
never mind pres, they will get better and im sure you are being a good nurse
3:52 am
Andree
28th, will check diary
3:52 am
mrpresident
thanks sandy! I am sleeping alot myself!
3:53 am
sandyloo
are you sick too, or just all nursed out
3:53 am
sandyloo
I feel like sleeping, I have been to lunch today
3:54 am
mrpresident
I am not sick, but I am tired!
3:54 am
mrpresident
the after-lunch-sleep is totally acceptable!
3:54 am
Andree
nearly bedtime sandy
3:54 am
Andree
and mrp, you need an early night
3:55 am
sandyloo
6pm here andree
3:55 am
mrpresident
bloody oath!
3:55 am
fuquayvarina
yay, found the fi 10
3:55 am
sandyloo
have to cook dinner- lol- what a pity
3:56 am
mrpresident
I should perhaps have dinner! bbq chicken now costing me $14.80!! what the??
3:56 am
Andree
cooking dinner is a real chore when you have been out to lunch and don't feel like much
3:56 am
mrpresident
since when did a stupid bird cost so much??
3:58 am
mrpresident
bbs, need to get kids to bed
3:58 am
Andree
i guess since it got caught cleaned and cooked, lol
4:02 am
mrpresident
Oh andree, I remember a simpler time... raise, feed and kill the bird yourself!
4:02 am
mrpresident
we have a huge chook pen, might start doing that again
4:03 am
Andree
thats what my mum did mrp, sandy do you eat your own chooks or just keep them for the eggs
4:04 am
sandyloo
we havent eaten any as yet, but we are not ruling it out
4:05 am
mrpresident
it is too easy to do... Lickety will fix the coope this weekend
4:05 am
sandyloo
we did it when we were kids or at least my dad did
4:05 am
Andree
can't kill good layers though
4:06 am
Andree
must go have dinner, back soon
4:07 am
sandyloo
we are not getting any eggs lately, the crows are stealing them, we are looking for a dead crow
4:08 am
sandyloo
just read my profile
4:08 am
mrpresident
we have a family of goannas too... they go straight up to the chook pen looking for eggs
4:08 am
sandyloo
im not ruling that one out either pres
4:09 am
sandyloo
but with the dead crow hanging up we get eggs
4:09 am
mrpresident
ah, good psychology!
4:10 am
sandyloo
it really works pres
4:11 am
mrpresident
well, if someone hung a dead crow outside my room, I would be cowering and doing what I was asked to do too! LOL
4:11 am
sandyloo
and not stealing eggs!!
4:12 am
mrpresident
'hey you! yeah you.... the chicken with the teeth... if you don't lay eggs, this is what will happen to you! (present dead crow as proof)!
4:12 am
sandyloo
although i have seen our border collie getting them too
4:13 am
sandyloo
every morning when i get up there is a whole crowd of crows on the chook pen fence!
4:13 am
mrpresident
crows are creepy
4:14 am
sandyloo
foxes are worse-they kill the chooks and only take one to eat-they rip the heads off and leave the others-they kill for pleasure
4:15 am
mrpresident
foxes are mad!
4:16 am
sandyloo
between the goannas, the crows and the fox, and the bordercollie, we are lucky to get any eggs
4:16 am
sandyloo
But we do
4:18 am
mrpresident
hopefully, being on the 'outskirts' of Sydney, we will not suffer that too much!
4:19 am
rbud
wasn't it crows involved in the bird flu thing a few years back? dead ones were found that tested positive?
4:20 am
sandyloo
i dont think that was in Aus, rbud - do you remember anything like that Pres
4:21 am
mrpresident
we didn't get bird flu here, so they didn't report on it so much... so no, didn't hear about that!
4:26 am
rbud
here's a link, mentions crows, but it confuses me - starts out talking about "bird flu" and goes to "West Nile virus." http://tiny.cc/gVmtu
4:31 am
mrpresident
will have to check that out rbud... it may be a strain of west nile virus...
4:31 am

i have a school teacher daughter
5:47 am
sandyloo
oh the stories she tells....
5:48 am
herinfernallady
hi
5:49 am
sandyloo
hi herin
5:49 am
JBV
hi, sandy, what grade/age does your daughter teach?
5:50 am
herinfernallady
waves.
5:50 am
sandyloo
she teaches grade 5 at cable beach primary in Broome
5:51 am
sandyloo
9-10 year olds
5:51 am
sandyloo
a lot of aboriginal children in her class
5:52 am
sandyloo
when they come to school
5:52 am
JBV
i've been in education all my life - i love being around children - it keeps your brain young to see how they perceive the world and have to learn so much of what we take for granted
5:52 am
sandyloo
she is a great teacher and the kids love her, she has devised all sorts of ways of getting them to school and it has been working
5:53 am
JBV
great to hear it, sandy, she must be wonderful
5:54 am
JBV
i also work with children whose language and culture is different from that of the school system and we do a lot of work with parents too, to help them become acculturated
5:54 am
sandyloo
she is but she has always had a great thirst to learn herself-I taught her to read by 3 years old
5:54 am
sandyloo
by grade one, she was reading novels
5:55 am
JBV
i was like her, too, sandy, and so was my son, baby readers, but it makes it so much more difficult to understand why some people cannot catch on to this basic basic skill
5:55 am
herinfernallady
I am good at reading stuffed at remembering and school is giving me the shits
5:56 am
sandyloo
unfortunately, the parents of these children are not very caring about education. that is the problem- the children are often not fed and dont go to sleep untill 2 or 3 am and are often abused
5:56 am
sandyloo
it is a vicious circle that is very difficult for them to escape from. it is soooo sad
5:57 am
JBV
herin, what are you studying?
5:57 am
sandyloo
wedding dresses
5:57 am
herinfernallady
Legal
5:57 am
JBV
sandy, i don't know the parents, but "caring" about education is probably lower on their scale of survival issues, if they are very poor
5:58 am
JBV
do you have a lot of assigned reading? that can be overwhelming
5:58 am
sandyloo
they have a lot of money and help from the government- they were given a lot of money recently (up to 10,000 dollars depending on how many kids) and they had to close the bottle shops
5:59 am
sandyloo
the parents dont spend the money on the kids-
5:59 am
herinfernallady
No it just jacks me off that the slackers in the class got 82% High Distinction do fA and I get 74% and bust my non exsistant nuts off.
5:59 am
sandyloo
the schools employ aboriginal aides and encourage them to learn about their culture
5:59 am
JBV
sounds like they need a better program -
6:00 am
sandyloo
there are many different programs jb, it is such a tragedy.
6:00 am
JBV
sandy, i'd be interested to know what your daughter thinks of Sylvia Ashton Warner - she wrote the classic book on reading education for Maori children, back in the 60's i think
6:00 am
herinfernallady
That is because those people think that the world awes them a favour and there is no point throwing money at people if you aren't going to give them the tools to use it
6:00 am
crosshair
good morning everyone;)
6:01 am
sandyloo
the government shouldnt give them cash like they did -they should give them vouchers for food and clothes and services
6:01 am
herinfernallady
Hi Cross
6:01 am
JBV
that's what i meant by a better program - vouchers and training and jobs - all connected to a better life for the children
6:01 am
sandyloo
herin they are given every opportunity , we can just hope that a few will get through the system and go back to help their people
6:01 am
sandyloo
hi cross
6:02 am
sandyloo
I find it very upsetting when i go up there
6:02 am
JBV
i worked in a job training program for adults - teaching them English - but they also needed basic work skills, since most of them had never held a steady job before
6:02 am
herinfernallady
No the Government should spend the money on education. Pisses me off that they give all this money and then rich people bitch that their choosen PRIVATE school has no government help instead of the government schools not being 3rd world in some parts of the state so parents don't have to send their kids to a private school
6:03 am
mrpresident
infern, government schools get 1/3 of the government assistance that private school do... it is revolting
6:03 am
herinfernallady
excuse my lanfuafe
6:04 am
mrpresident
the private schools get heaps and heaps of government assistance, much more than the public system
6:04 am
crosshair
remember,the votes and help of the rich at election time are of more use than the average person
6:04 am
sandyloo
pres, our private schools get less assistance than government schools
6:04 am
herinfernallady
All i know is one of my friends kids HAS to go to a private school. The 2 schools in his area one is known as the correctional facility and the other is one that she went to and refuses to send anyone too
6:05 am
mrpresident
oh no sandy! you would be very surprised....
6:05 am
crosshair
greasing the wheels
6:05 am
sandyloo
I find that very hard to believe , judging from the fees that some of those schools charge
6:05 am
mrpresident
the fees are what gives them more money
6:05 am
herinfernallady
She doesn't pay for the school the grandparents do
6:06 am
JBV
good chat, folks, however, I must be going off to start my day - i'll be back tonight
6:06 am
herinfernallady
Later JBV
6:06 am
mrpresident
private schools get much more assistance than public schools
6:06 am
crosshair
see my note on greasing the wheels
6:07 am
sandyloo
but that extra assistance (fees) is not coming from the government
6:07 am
Andree
back again for short while
6:07 am
mrpresident
it is friggin sad crossy
6:07 am
herinfernallady
http://www.aeufederal.org.au/Debates/f
actsheet3.pdf
6:07 am
mrpresident
the DET sucks, they pay the private schools 3 times the money
6:08 am
crosshair
think of private and public schools like they are U.S regular hospitals v.s charity hospitals
6:08 am
Andree
i know private schools get assistance but not more than public schools as public schools are fully paid by government
6:08 am
sandyloo
do you lot mean to tell me that a private school gets more money from the government than a public school!?
6:08 am
mrpresident
our school get 87c per child per day... the private schools get 2.96 per child per day
6:08 am
herinfernallady
Just found this:
http://www.adogs.info/statistics

6:09 am
sandyloo
Our public schools are very well supplied. Where Diana is teaching , they have amazing facilities
6:09 am
mrpresident
sandy, you will find that the P&C and parents are amazing at raising funds for that school
6:09 am
herinfernallady
Lucky them
6:09 am
crosshair
our public schools run on razor thin margins..the child supplies everything but the bloody blackboard!
6:10 am
Andree
the reason private schools get assistance is really simple, if they all closed tomorrow the whole system would break down as the public schools cannot take even the students they have now
6:10 am
herinfernallady
THat is because your daughter works at a highly disadvantaged school
6:10 am
mrpresident
We raise about $100,000 per year for our school, and if we 'put in money' from the parents, we get further assistance from the government.
6:10 am
mrpresident
so, imagine how much money private schools 'put in' and how much they get from the government???
6:11 am
herinfernallady
It gets my goat that PRIVATE schools get more. Its could private for a reason. If you want your kid to go to that school that is your choice. Sadly if you are like my friend that lives in a really bad violent area she has no choice but to get money from mum and dad to send her kid to a decent school that doesn't involve being mugged or bashed
6:11 am
sandyloo
I agree that P&Cs do provide a lot of assistance-I used to work on the P&C but we lived in a wealthy area with very well educated parents - I dont believe really that poorer areas would have that much support from their P&Cs -We had a jumble sale for instant and put in a swimming pool for our local primary school
6:11 am
mrpresident
so many people have no idea how private schools wrought the system
6:12 am
sandyloo
My kids went to private schools in high school and the fees were huge
6:13 am
crosshair
here a private school is nothing but a dream..thats how the other half live
6:13 am
mrpresident
we live in a wealthy area too, and we are dedicated to our public school... we donate heaps of money! so our kids get excellent facilities.
6:13 am

i really don't belong in this discussion as a fan of private schooling
6:13 am
mrpresident
I went to private school all my life...
my children are getting just as great an education in the public system (but we are in a very wealthy area)
6:13 am
herinfernallady
This kid has no chance but to go to a private school. It has nothing to do with prestige and snobbery it has everything to do with basic education
6:13 am
Andree
and public schooling whatever is best for the child and family
6:13 am
sandyloo
Andree I am a fan of private schooling too, but I still would like to see equal opportunity for all children
6:14 am
crosshair
so we suck it up and send our kid to the public schools and keeps tabs on fights /bullying etc and try to get him the best education we can..no choice
6:14 am
mrpresident
private schooling is excellent! much more facilities...
however, the public system is also very good, depending on where you live
6:15 am
Andree
i believe all kids have equal opportunity in our country just some kids dont grasp the opportunity
6:16 am
Andree
some just go to school and goof off
6:16 am
mrpresident
my children are in the public system, and are at the top of the system, cause they DO grasp the opportunity... I agree andree... but we push that school to give them the best they can have
6:16 am
sandyloo
We were lucky where we lived because the primary school was so excellent
6:16 am
mrpresident
correct sandy! we are in the same situation
6:17 am
Andree
thats where the parents who care about education are so great, there are parents out there who could not care less
6:17 am
herinfernallady
Cross what if i told you this school doesn't even wood work metal work classes um basic shtuff
6:17 am

6:24 am
lynxxx
yes Cool - or ***ia where the Taj Mahal is
6:25 am
Scrabbler
Very frustrating, Sandy.
6:25 am
sandyloo
they say it will continue to dislocate and then a fusion is much more difficult
6:25 am
crosshair

6:25 am

West, I used to live in a town called Coventry in the UK, and they had a lovely fish market ! I remember going there with my Nan when I was about 10, and seeing the crabs, which were still alive, ready to be sold !
7:37 am

I'm so anxious to get back to Maine
7:37 am

I'm utterly utterly spoiled for fish here. And I love fish so much. the local fish market has a restaurant as part of it, and we went there at the weekend. Fish that melts in your mouth!

7:38 am

NonoNanette
Hi Uni, how goes it?
8:05 am
Atalante
wow. there's a guy who has just been released from prison after 27 years, his conviction quashed and told he was innocent. Can you imagine coming out into a world so completely altered?
8:05 am
NonoNanette
what is today's icon theme?
8:06 am
Frances
Yes Ata DNA proved he could not have been the murderer. Will be like landing on another planet.
8:06 am
Uniquity
Depending on where he lived, he might have been better off .. 27 years before it was overturned. He must have been serving a heavy duty sentence.
8:07 am
Atalante
he looked just completely dazed, confused and the press were all yelling at him. poor guy!
8:08 am
Atalante
it was a murder conviction, but DNA now shows it couldn't have been him
8:08 am
Frances
Snap Ata!

Uniquity
**Fighting hard to not point out the pitiful sentences some people who have been really convicted of murder get***
8:09 am
Atalante
urf I know
8:11 am
Atalante
its like that guy in Aaustria who keep his daughter imprisoned for 20 something years and fathered 7 children with her and kept half of them in the cellar too. If he was convicted of rape, he could be out of prison in 6 years!
8:11 am
Frances
Ata He has now pleaded guilty to all charges.
8:12 am
Atalante
I know, thankfully!
8:12 am
Uniquity
Oh my. I had managed to mostly forget about him. Thanks Ata, my outrage is returning!
8:12 am
Atalante
but if he hadn't done that ... the longest they could have convicted him was 15 years!!
8:13 am
Frances
Doesn't bare thinking about does it?
8:13 am
Atalante
yes, he is totally incomprehensible
8:13 am
Uniquity
It's scarier because he is not the first, nor likely the last. That this continues to seem like a good decision to individuals is very concerning.
8:14 am
Frances
He has also pleaded guilty to murder of one of the children.
8:14 am
Atalante
oh yes. and when you think you've seen it all, humanity proves you wrong
8:15 am

Hmmm . . . I suppose you don't think I'm aware of what you and two others did (said) behind my back in the chat log one day, after I logged out? Yes - it was brought to my attention. I'd been nothing but friendly, pleasant and jovial with everyone, so there was no earthly need for it - but some are just that way, I suppose. Referring to this log, in particular: http://www.playbabble.com/2173#chat_lo

8:37 am
FMitch
LOL Ata, did see bit of that prog you mentioned.
8:38 am
Judi
Uh oh. Ata - looks like you're in trouble.
8:39 am
J. C.
So yes - have your cards marked. Don't deal well with two-faced people, sorry. Acting all nice to my face, then engaging in that as soon as I wasn't present, for no good reason at all?! (Shakes head.)
8:39 am
Atalante
well I can only think of 1 time that someone? lyn? asked a question about you in the log, and we discussed who you claim to be
8:39 am
J. C.
Just found out, Judi - as people who do that sort of thing eventually become.
8:40 am
J. C.
I don't 'claim' to be anyone - I'm simply me.
8:40 am
Atalante
oh yes, Judi, apparently one is not allowed to discuss things. Discussing is bad
8:40 am
J. C.
You know very well who that someone was . . .
8:40 am
J. C.
Oh, there's a marked difference between 'discussing' someone and mocking or slagging them off . . .
8:40 am
Atalante
um. I totally can't remember. Because actually that convo wasn't a big deal
8:41 am
J. C.
Yes, that is bad, where I come from - but then I'm not nasty minded enough to engage in such, with no reason.
8:41 am
Atalante
ok, let's go and look and see who else is mean adn wicked
8:41 am
J. C.
Not to you, I'm sure . . . you weren't the one being publicly 'discussed' in such a nasty fashion.
8:42 am
J. C.
Grow up - goodness, one would think you had, by now.
8:42 am

Glad I missed that "discussion".

J.C you did sorta come in with all guns blazing and take over with your thoughts on various topics (not that this is not a free forum) also if you are you, you should also know how people might react to someone coming in claiming to be a 'celeb' there have been a lot of those claims too over the years.
8:49 am
Atalante
oh dear. *laughs* if you're concerned by such things, I don't know how you've survived being a celebrity. That wasn't even the conversation where Lyn and I were discussing you. Your spies aren't working very well!

Hmmm, 'guns blazing', merely because I spoke about something I happen to care a lot about, when the topic arose? I was merely stating how I feel about a very real, desperate situation . . . how that's misconstrued as 'lecturing' or 'preaching' to anyone defies my understanding - guilty consciences, perhaps? I really don't know . . .

Don't feel bad, Tragic. Some of our police officers do mentoriing at the elementary school (5-7 year olds). The language those little charmers spew would curl anyone's hair.

9:17 am
Atalante
Voltaire is a gothy / alternative musician who tours mainly with a gypsy band. he writes very funny, very clever stuff
9:17 am
Judi
No no no no no, Tor! I'm pretty sure he's one of the X-Men.
9:18 am
Pinikula

Voltaire (along with his group Cabaret Voltaire) played the theme song for....oh wait, was it Buffy or Angel?
9:19 am
Atalante
no ... it was something ... Cartoon Network something?
9:20 am
Uniquity
Angel's theme song is just orchestral sort of music. I know because I am rewatching season four right now :)
9:20 am
Atalante
if you ever get the chance to see him live, Eva, you really really really should go. He is *wonderful* live
9:20 am
Judi
Clue for the El7, please?
9:20 am
EvaNadine
pretty sure it was Angel -- there were no lyrics, just the orchestral
9:21 am
Uniquity
If Voltaire did that, I like Voltaire. I like Angel more though...Mmm...Lori would be so unimpressed with me.

my grand pa ran away from the monestary he was living in Italy, was the youngest of 16 and was 14 when he left italy...
1:21 pm

A lot of Welsh and Irish emigrated about then I think flosey so there must be a lot of Celtic blood over there and in Australia
1:21 pm
caitlyn

and my mother because he was a worker and honest he worked his way over because when he arrived in NYC he eventually owned several Barber shops in which he also sold candy and other things... he worked from 6 in the morning to about 10 at night and my mother didn't really get to know him until she was in high school or so
1:25 pm
oodleberry

1:32 pm

sorry peri
1:32 pm
caitlyn
Most fairy stories are horrible in there own ways oodle
1:33 pm
hurshy
children's stories are meant to send clear messages, like, don't go messing in places you don't know anything about, i think, so they have to be scary.
1:34 pm
Atalante
Baba Yaga is very scary!
1:34 pm
hurshy
and i think that when you're a kid you have less sense of that kind of stuff BEING scary. my recollection from being a child is that i wasn't scared by any of those stories, but was scared by things i SAW, like the wizard of oz.
1:34 pm
oodleberry
but I even tried to plant a bean pole... didn't get higher than 6 feet... I was P.Oed
1:35 pm
oodleberry
hurshy I was traumatized by the wizard of oz... to this day I cannot watch it
1:36 pm
hurshy
i think it must be connected to a sense of your own mortality - i used to love all amusement park rides, the scarier the better, and now, i still like a normal roller coaster, but these humongous drops at 90 degree angles and whatnot, no thank you.
1:36 pm
caitlyn
That is so true hurshy, although Hansel and Gretal put me off playing in the woods!1
1:37 pm
hurshy
but they may have made the story on purpose to put kids off playing in the woods - or at least, talking to strangers and taking candy from them...
1:39 pm
oodleberry
hihohiho it's off to workOUT I go...lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala hihohiho
1:40 pm
hurshy
i mean i know that wesley will not believe that he should not touch stove burners until someone yells at him for trying to loudly enough to scare him, or he burns himself. unfortunately it seems like fear and pain are the only things that can interfere with the curiosity of a kid.
1:40 pm
oodleberry
***POOF***
1:41 pm
periwinkle
fi/10 is a plural not a compound word
1:41 pm
caitlyn
Bye oodle, nice chatting with you
1:41 pm
hurshy
there may be times when the scars from pain would be less lasting than those from fear - it must be so hard to be a parent and try to decide where that line is.
1:41 pm
torgone
Does anyone else think that Glinda was the real villain?
1:42 pm
Atalante
does that question suppose that I've seen Wizard of Oz??
1:42 pm
hurshy
you can't go by the glinda in the movie, tor - she was NOTHING like the real glinda (from the books).
1:42 pm
caitlyn
When my children were young I did the talking warning, then the screaming warning, then let them touch the things that may hurt them slightly, thay learnt their lessons!
1:43 pm
torgone
I haven't read the books ..
1:43 pm
hurshy
well the glinda in the books was MUCH cooler and would never wear anything so ridiculous.
1:43 pm
rbud
I loved the Oz books, still have the whole set of 14 my mom gave me in the 60's. Movie, meh, not so much.
1:44 pm
Atalante
haven't read the books, havent' seen the film
1:44 pm
hurshy
i think you would like the books, ata. they seem you-ish.
1:44 pm
caitlyn
I never read them but have seen the film, still dont like it though
1:44 pm
Atalante
I didn't even know there were books *blush*
1:45 pm
Atalante
oh hurshy! Haz recommends Ellis Peter's Cadfael books to you
1:45 pm
hurshy
ok - remind me of that again when my brain is less swollen
1:45 pm
rbud
I got mad later, there were lots of other Oz books written by other people who kept getting the details wrong.
1:45 pm
caitlyn
What has been wrong hurshy?
1:46 pm
Atalante
and I agree, you'd like them
1:46 pm
hurshy
yeah, i didn't read any later ones, i tend to shy away from sequels by other people
1:46 pm
hurshy
i have some sort of stomach problem, and the lack of nutrients and things has now made me dizzy and stuff too
1:47 pm
caitlyn
I hope you feel better soon, its horrible to feel poorly like that
1:48 pm
rbud
oh, my, hope you feel better soon, hurshy! (((hugs)))
1:48 pm
lynxxx
Morning everyone
1:49 pm
rbud
hello, lynxxx!
1:49 pm
caitlyn
Well its time for me to rattle some pans and look like Im producing a nice supper,LOL
Hi and bye lynxxx see you tomorrow
1:50 pm
lynxxx
Hursh, how was yr meeting, any progress on the greening of the office?
1:50 pm
lynxxx
bye Caitlyn
1:51 pm
hurshy
my meeting was superficially fine, for i was conciliatory and apologetic. hopefully have erased hard feelings. but don't see any way forward that isn't terribly inefficient, and foresee wanting to transfer as soon as the economy allows.
1:52 pm
Atalante
oh lyn - it was you I was talking to the other day about JC, wasn't it?
1:53 pm
lynxxx
Oh, rather dissappointing then Hursh, still there is a lot to be said for peace in the interim
1:53 pm
lynxxx
It was Ata
1:54 pm
Atalante
you are likely to be ignored by him then from now on, or told you are 2 faced adn evil
1:54 pm
Atalante
just warning you!
1:54 pm
hurshy
ahhh, melodrama that doesn't involve me!
1:55 pm
lynxxx
!!! I've been found out at last, lol
1:55 pm
Atalante
lol yeah that was my thought. darn. we suck
1:56 pm
Atalante
he was quite nasty to me earlier, I just wanted to let you know ... he has "friends" who report chat log things to him!
1:56 pm
hurshy
would it be horribly gauche to ask for details?
1:57 pm
Atalante
absolutely lol. I'd tell you, but it would get reported back to him and i'd be even eviller than I am now
1:57 pm
hurshy
of course i AM left-handed, so it makes sense for me to be gauche.
1:57 pm
hurshy
ah send me a fb message
1:58 pm
hurshy
i mean if you want.
1:58 pm
hurshy
i sort of want to quit fb though. my mom joined. :(
1:59 pm
Atalante
that does spoil it rather
1:59 pm
Atalante
my godmother is a member, but she's wonderful so that's ok
1:59 pm
hurshy
yeah, i wasn't telling her about my work stuff and then she saw something on my wall and started asking me about it, blah
2:00 pm
Atalante
yes, you need a few places that your parents ca't see
2:01 pm
hurshy
but of course i imagine that one loves one's kids so much that that notion would seem offensive from the parental end.
2:02 pm
Atalante
sometimes. sometimes they do get it though
2:02 pm
hurshy
well luckily i have in the past few years learned the art of "i don't want to talk about it"
2:03 pm
Atalante
my mum and my godmother are best friends. I'm very close to my godmother's daughter. When we started getting close both of us went to our parents and said, look, we're not going to tell you whatever we learn from each other. etc etc. we will have a level of privacy in the friendship
2:03 pm
Atalante
and luckily both mothers agreed utterly!
2:03 pm
hurshy
wow, how old were you?
2:04 pm
Atalante
18 or so - we've known each other since she was born (she's a few years younger than me) but we suddenly clicked back then
2:04 pm
Atalante
and likewise Lu and I don't want to know the gory details of our parents friendship!
2:04 pm
Atalante
the moral of the story is that sometimes parents can surprise you :)
2:04 pm
hurshy
ah, i see, i was going to be impressed if you guys did that at age 6 or something :)
2:05 pm
Atalante
lol no. that *would* have been impressive!
2:05 pm
Atalante
but sometimes it's easier to blurt stuff out like that when you're younger
2:06 pm
hurshy
it's easier to blurt stuff out, but harder to think of it in such sophisticated terms
2:06 pm
Atalante
yes, absolutely
2:12 pm
hurshy
my mom said grilled cheese would not be a good thing to eat. but if i'm craving it, maybe that's a sign that this particular virus would be killed off by it.
2:12 pm
Atalante
if you really want it, go for it
2:12 pm
Atalante
if it stays down, you'll feel better. If you feel worse, you'll know not to do that again :)
2:13 pm
Atalante
and check your fb messages :)
2:13 pm
hurshy
but so far everything i eat stays down, but i feel worse. and ok.
2:13 pm
Atalante
well if its staying down, just eat what your stomach tells you it wants
2:14 pm
hurshy
i still have problems at other end of spectrum
2:14 pm
Atalante
tablets are available for that :)
2:15 pm
hurshy
is all very befuddling, have never had stomach bug last longer than 24 hours before in my recollection
2:15 pm
Atalante
get some tabs, take them, then you might get some nutrition and water into you
2:15 pm
chiley
Hi Babblers. I've been sitting quietly all day while I finished the grid and watching the chat. I understand what the drama is about but not sure who the alter ego is. Any one want to clue me?
2:17 pm
hurshy
i think the alter ego is my stomach.
2:18 pm
chiley
Oh Hurshy, sorry you
2:18 pm
chiley
you're under the weather.
2:18 pm
Atalante
I would love to. But I don't think it's fair to just give out his name. um. thinks.
2:19 pm
chiley
I read back on the chat that he linked, but I couldn't find a hint
2:19 pm
Atalante
oh because you mean we didn't shout out that we were talking about him? goodness me. bad us :)
2:19 pm
chiley
I don't want to make it worse, so I can wait and watch. Maybe it will come up.
2:19 pm
Atalante
look up fanny the wonder dog on google
2:23 pm

2:24 pm
Atalante
norme ..
2:24 pm
lynxxx
Hi Ata, wasn't us but was when Liz was concerned with being stalked by another Mikey, which I think was a fair reaction. It pays to be a bit cautious with new aquaintances, whether face-to- face or online I think.
2:24 pm
hurshy
i don't THINK so, i tried every vowel combo i could think of.
2:25 pm
HarryHood
i think we're stuck on the same word hursh
2:25 pm
Atalante
yeah ... I wanted to say something though, if he's been reading chat logs. I didn't want you to get the same shit
2:25 pm
HarryHood
got it!
2:25 pm
hurshy
i'm stuck on four M's from there, so, probably one is yours, yes, lol
2:25 pm
HarryHood
it ends in a non-vowel
2:26 pm
lynxxx
TY I am fairly thick skinned

HarryHood

2:28 pm
chiley
Ok I googled....so one player used initials and the alter ego uses the name, right?
2:28 pm
lynxxx
I HATE the cat sounds - there seems to be so many spelling variations
2:29 pm
hurshy

2:35 pm
rbud
*curious about flying car*
2:36 pm
hurshy
yeah it flew from england to timbuktu - i sent my dad an article about it awhile ago. very cool.
2:36 pm
HarryHood
http://www.terrafugia.com/ was just on a news story
2:36 pm
HarryHood
all my books in 5th grade had pictures of the "highway of the future" with takeoff and landing lanes
2:37 pm

2:40 pm

which is just slightly above what i paid for my condo...
2:41 pm
HarryHood
yes, but does your condo get 30 mpg highway?

Hi fellow babblers

well there you go :)

ooh, a slew of doneness
2:57 pm

I feel very inadequate *glares at the grid*

Ata, I only have a mo, but just popped in to apologise to you *blush*
2:58 pm

2:58 pm

I gave up at 40 and went to list, too hard for me!
2:58 pm
Lizsark
No really :( I sent you a message on FB :)
2:59 pm
Lizsark
hi Lynxx...sorry I really do only have a second. Must dasy - Ata I honestly didn't mean to land you in it. *Kicks self hard*
2:59 pm

*dash* even
2:59 pm
Atalante
lol dearest, don't even think about it! I'll reply on fb!
2:59 pm
Judi
Gah! The flying car is awesome! I want one. The showroom price is a little steep though.
2:59 pm
Lizsark
ok :( see you all later, bye :)
3:00 pm
Judi
And it's not very fuel efficient. But it would cut down on the daily commute substantially.
3:01 pm
Atalante
how much are they charging?
3:02 pm
Judi
$194,000 American, Ata.
3:02 pm
Judi
I know. My house isn't worth that (least I don't think so).
3:04 pm
Judi
I would think an electrically powered hover craft would be more practical and affordable. Then again, I'm not an engineer, so what the hell do I know.
3:06 pm
lynxxx
Finished, a very unsatisfactory grid for me. The words were easy but I just couldn't see them for some reason
3:06 pm
Atalante
though I suppose a decent Ferrari or Lambourghini would go for about the same price, and I'd rather have a flying car
3:06 pm
Atalante
yay lynx!
3:06 pm
rbud
congrats, lyn!!!
3:06 pm
Judi
Yay, Linxxx. There was a lot of word blindness caused by this grid.
3:07 pm
lynxxx
That's a pretty cool looking plane!
3:07 pm
Atalante
it is a very grouchy grid
3:07 pm
Judi
Yes, Ata. If one had the money, the flying car would be ever so much more, er, economical.
3:08 pm
Judi
And only 20 hours of flying instruction required! I could do that in my sleep!
3:08 pm
rbud
don't know what I'd think if I saw it coming down the road - amazing!
3:08 pm
Atalante
the skies are about to become even more unsafe ...
3:08 pm
Judi
Compared to a helicopter, it's downright cheap!
3:09 pm
Judi
Wonder how much runway/roadway is required for takeoff?
3:10 pm
Atalante
wonder what happens in a crash - is it a plane or a car?
3:10 pm
rbud
imagine the cost of insurance!
3:10 pm
Judi
I assume you would have to fly at a fairly low ceiling. Just have to watch out for birds and power lines. Hail would be problematic as well.
3:11 pm
Judi
It would be a disaster!
3:12 pm
rbud
darnit, need another W - have wa x 7 and wo
3:12 pm
lynxxx
The aviation authorities are ging to get headaches trying to keep up with this development...think of all the new regulations
3:12 pm

another wa Rbud
3:12 pm
Atalante
can you imagine! they must be tearing their hair out
3:13 pm
Judi
I think they should have an aquatic version. Put floats on it so you could land on water. Of course, that would precipitate the need for one with skis. Just land on the slopes - forget those pesky lift fees.
3:13 pm
Atalante
heli skiing in disguise

how's your system in england work these days? anything change since agatha christie's descriptions?
3:33 pm
Atalante
not really!
3:34 pm
hurshy
people say it is different from the american system, but i'm not sure i quite get where the important distinctions lie
3:34 pm
Atalante
we don't have court tv!
3:34 pm
hurshy
well, besides that.
3:34 pm
Atalante
big difference
3:35 pm
hurshy
but i thought it was different even before there was tv.
3:35 pm
Atalante
i'm sure it is, but I don't know enough about the US system to comment properly
3:35 pm
hurshy
i mean someone said something about it not being an adversarial system, but you do have defense and prosecution
3:36 pm
hurshy
is there someone whose job it is to undertake an independent and impartial investigation?
3:36 pm
jimmel
hurshy, could you please re-clue the et 7 with a bit more clarity? not seeing it...

I've been trying to 'do' art lately. Failed miserably, in general. I need some sort of instruction. And a magic gift, lol.
3:47 pm
Atalante
it's impossibel to fail at art *so says a modern art teacher*
3:47 pm
Atalante
I hate modern art teachers
3:48 pm
Uniquity
I like things with guidelines. I am more a colourer than an artist
3:49 pm
Atalante

3:49 pm

but no-one makes the guidelines for me so I have to do them too
3:50 pm
Uniquity
Untrue! I have seen your gorgeous work. Don't be self deprecating
3:51 pm
Atalante
I'd still rather just colour in things :)
3:52 pm
Uniquity
Colour all your knotwork
3:53 pm
Atalante
next big knotwork thing I do, I'll scan in the line art and then you can print it out and oclour it to your heart's content
3:53 pm
Uniquity
Heh. I used to colour in graph paper from my dads work.
3:54 pm
Atalante
so did I :)

You must have been a handful! Lori is letting the boys use the computer over march break, so I haven't seen her either.
3:57 pm
Atalante
what a nice mother!
3:57 pm
Uniquity
It's true!
3:57 pm
Atalante
yes, but at the same time, mum could give me pens and paper and I'd be occupied all day
3:57 pm

Hello hurshy.

hurshy
i feel so stuck.
4:47 pm
Atalante
we loves you hurshy
4:48 pm
hurshy
i have always thought that if one has to be on a totem pole, i'd rather be at the bottom. but i'm starting to get really sick of it. i feel like i need a plan to get to a different place. but even doing a master's one course at a time, each class is like $2000, and my husband is a student and we have a mortgage and i don't know what to do. and i don't even know how to know what's a good degree for me to get.
4:48 pm
hurshy
i don't want to get a degree where it won't help me get a better job.
4:49 pm
kje

4:50 pm

then again, you can get an MD and still have to work for someone completely insane, like poor scrabbler, so what is the point????
4:51 pm

scrabbler is choosing to stay where she is
4:51 pm

Or you can be 20 years old, 40 grand in debt and have a shakey future ahead of you, about to graduate in a year with a mostly useless degree and a shit economy. Just an option.

I have got a CoG. And a great beau and a great family. So those are the positives that make it great.
4:53 pm

4:53 pm
periwinkle
oh, I have one too :-)
4:53 pm
Atalante
and a hammy
4:54 pm
hurshy
no, i'd get too depressed if i had to see sick animals all the time. i think i just need to find out how much tuition assistance i can get through my job.
4:54 pm
Uniquity
One mustn't forget the hammy. Apparently he is a 'superior hamster' because he pees and poos in one spot.
4:54 pm
Atalante
oooo! a HoG!!
4:55 pm

hi all! Hurshy, what do you do now?

I should go on Price is Right, win a tonne of stuff, then sell it all for the money and pay off my debt.

well, then maybe I wasn't completely off my rocker then. Huge demand for auditors if you love numbers and dont mind travel. Regardless, good luck!

oh ooops...never mind with the auditing then...lol
5:01 pm
hurshy
mi5 is kind of like first daughter
5:01 pm
kje
it seems uni is ignoring our ever so brilliant input
5:01 pm
hurshy
i am good with numbers, but don't you have to have an accounting degree?
5:02 pm
Uniquity
It's been three minutes since my last post...
deal or no deal - too risky
survivor - i hate outside
millionaire - definitely not got the brains.
5:03 pm
kje
but she can count time... is there a time game???
5:03 pm
hurshy
what about "are you smarter than a fifth grader?"
5:03 pm
kje
yes yes yes - 5th grader!!!
5:04 pm
Uniquity
Hursh - Not all companies require that you have degrees specific to positions in question. I would think that some sort of training would be needed for accountancy, but I also wouldn't think it would need a masters.
5:04 pm
k21eyes
Wiat...start your OWN game show and be the host. Probably get a good salary
5:04 pm
circe
generally, a bachelor's yes, for the accounting, but then you are set and there is a lot you can do with it -- including some normal 8-5 jobs with fairly stable people! :)
5:04 pm
kje
not at all... most accountants are bachelors
5:04 pm
kje
and book keepers need no degree
5:05 pm
hurshy
i have a bachelors', but it's in psych.
5:05 pm
circe
also, my understanding now is that a lot of state governments are hiring accounting people -- to do auditing work without the degree ---
5:06 pm
kje
OK, must poof - later all - good luck hursh... and rich winnings uni!
5:06 pm
circe
then you had some math - stats etc...that would figure in
5:06 pm
Uniquity
I know someone who is trained (and worked) in computers for decades, then switched to accounting recently with very minimal schooling required. Cost efficient!
5:06 pm
k21eyes
Uni can be a game show host and Hurshy can be the sidekick!
5:06 pm
hurshy
well, and i'm just really good at math.
5:06 pm
cherlyq63
depends, some companies will take work in the place of a degree
5:07 pm
hurshy
that sounds good, uni - do you know any more details about how the switch was made?
5:07 pm
Uniquity
It all depends, really. You've no idea what someone deems you qualified to do until you ask/interview.
5:07 pm
hurshy
maybe i should look into my state gov't about the auditing thing.
5:07 pm
circe
certainly it is an area to look into!
5:08 pm
hurshy
after all, i AM annoyed about all those swindlers.
5:08 pm
circe
arent we all!
5:08 pm
Uniquity
Well, the fact that I live in Canada and you in the States probably makes a difference, but I believe it was only some sort of community college sort of night class thing.

J. C.
Well, you asked! :P
6:04 pm
EvaNadine
so, since i hadnt been to the gym yet this week, i really should have gone today. but today was the most gorgeous day + i REALLY wanted to be outside...
so i decided to skip the gym + come home and strap on my rollerblades...
6:05 pm
stidmama
oh EvaN... you didn't hurt yourself did you? *worried mama look*
6:05 pm
EvaNadine
got home, grabbed them, went downstairs, strapped them on....then i remembered that i dont know HOW to rollerblade!
6:05 pm
stidmama
HALFWAY!!!!!
6:05 pm
stidmama
*gasp, choke* oh dear... *packs up bubblewrap*
6:05 pm
J. C.
Oh yes? It's been gorgeous here too, the last few days! It's supposed to continue through on the weekend - warm and sunny, I can handle that! ;) Sounds like you had some good exercise anyway, EvaNadine . . . :)
6:06 pm
EvaNadine
i just got them this weekend.
i think ill need the BF to talk along with me for a while...heh
6:06 pm
stidmama
didn't snow today -- OR hail. Guess that's sumpthin'
6:06 pm

Oh - hmmm, you have rollerblades, yet don't know how to rollerblade?

hello oodles!!! (((hugs)))
6:07 pm
stidmama
do you ice skate EvaN?
6:07 pm
J. C.
Oh, I see - do you roller or ice skate, Eva?
6:07 pm
J. C.
Snap, stidmama! ;)
6:07 pm
reparteena
Hola Babblers!
6:07 pm
EvaNadine
i used to ice skate every year for my birthday...did a little rollerskating too when i was younger...
havent done either in quite a while...
6:08 pm
stidmama
the difference between the two is that with figure skates the "stop" is at the toe, and with rollerblades the stop is at the heel. On only one foot. You stick that foot a little in front, raise up the toe and "squat" to put weight on it
6:08 pm
stidmama
hola reparteena!
6:08 pm
oodleberry
((hugs)) stid
6:08 pm
J. C.
Hi, reparteena!
6:08 pm
EvaNadine
knowing it + DOING it are very different things. :)
6:08 pm
reparteena
Hey Mama!
6:09 pm
stidmama
yes, like with the other types of skating it is good to practice falling a lot at the beginning. I HIGHLY recommend wrist and elbow guards. Will save you much agony.
6:09 pm
EvaNadine
i have all the pads. :D
6:10 pm
stidmama
good thinking. *approving mama look*
6:10 pm
EvaNadine
i even got it all via Freecycle, so if it doesnt work out, no money lost!
6:10 pm
stidmama
ah, you make my mama heart proud, dear! *serves brownies and milk*
6:10 pm
J. C.
Yes, stidmama - a good idea!
6:10 pm
reparteena
hey Dorens
6:10 pm
stidmama
hello Dorens!
6:10 pm
J. C.
Hi, Dorens . . .
6:11 pm
Dorens
and i can eat all the virtual brownies I want... the only kind i can eat this week. thanks stid and hi rep, jc and evaN
6:11 pm
J. C.
Oh good, EvaN - smart way to go! ;)
6:11 pm
oodleberry
mama, where do you live if I may ask?
6:11 pm
EvaNadine
brownies + milk are why i NEED the rollerblades!
heh
6:11 pm
J. C.
Virtual brownies probably aren't very satisfying, though?
6:11 pm
stidmama
(((Dorens))) I am not dieting this week. I will be sensible next week when I can stay at home and relax...
6:12 pm
stidmama
Pacific Northwest, oodles, why?
6:12 pm
stidmama
rofl EvaN!
6:12 pm
stidmama
I am tired of all the snow/hail/rain/sleet/cold... so I am "sunny place" hopping
6:12 pm
Dorens
i have decided i need to seriously lose 5 pounds (did no exercise while mending the broken rib). which is why i should be downstairs on the treadmill right now!!
6:12 pm
oodleberry
just curious... cause you said you lived by the border of Canada and US if I am not mistaken
6:13 pm
J. C.
It's OK Dorens - I won't tell! ;)
6:13 pm
Dorens
puerto rico would be a beautiful place to be right now, i agree stid!
6:13 pm
stidmama
well, "near" being a relative term. Apparently the same distance in the UK would be an unthinkable burden... LOL
6:13 pm
EvaNadine
BF + i are trying to lose 5 pounds in 1 month.
thats not much, but im not even sure im capable.
6:13 pm
Dorens
i have five more minutes here, kick me out if you see me hear at 6:19
6:13 pm
stidmama
I loved Puerto Rico, es un pais muy amable!
6:14 pm
stidmama
yes EvaN, you can accomplish that. Did you ever see The Matrix movie?
6:14 pm
Dorens
eva, if it's five between the two of you, that would be feasible
6:14 pm
EvaNadine
yes......
6:14 pm
stidmama
okay Dorens *puts on boots*
6:14 pm
KatieMcG
evening everyone
6:14 pm
Dorens
Luquillo Beach, El Yunque....
6:14 pm
stidmama
hello Katie!
6:14 pm
stidmama
okay, when the little guru boy is talking to Neo, remember?
6:14 pm
stidmama
He says, "The trick is to realize, there is NO spoon."
6:15 pm
J. C.
It's not that hard with exercise, EvaN - that's how I lose when I want and need to. I find dieting doesn't really work, other than cutting out fattening treats, but moving a lot more does. If I don't exercise, nothing happens - when I do so regularly, then I do lose it, gradually.
6:15 pm
EvaNadine
so, the trick is to realize that im not fat??
6:15 pm
stidmama
You just apply that to whatever utensil you use to eat that one extra piece of ____ (fill in the blank) and the pounds melt off!
6:15 pm
Dorens
no, there's no spoon so you can't eat the ice cream!
6:15 pm
stidmama
at least, that is what works for me.
6:15 pm
J. C.
Eat everything with chopsticks, stid?
6:15 pm
KatieMcG
I've been doing weight watchers since January and it is really working for me, however now got to the stage that I do need to move more like JC said
6:16 pm
stidmama
precisely, Dorens!
6:16 pm
J. C.
That would slow me down - I am hopeless using them! :P
6:16 pm
stidmama
I already almost do, JC! LOL but then I have been using them for almost 40 years so... not too hard for me.
6:16 pm
J. C.
Yes, I find regular long walks and cycling are very good, for burning the fat off . . .
6:16 pm
oodleberry
ok I'm confooooozed
6:16 pm
stidmama
oh! i have 100 words!!!!
6:16 pm
Dorens
at 40, i realized that every few years I need to decrease the caloric intake and increase the exercise. But it is getting harder and harder to do that!
6:16 pm
stidmama
why are you confuzzled, oodles?
6:17 pm
KatieMcG
*sigh* I hate moving more lol
6:17 pm
J. C.
Ooh, good for you, stid - I don't, and I'm dead jealous! :P
6:17 pm
stidmama
yes Dorens, soon you and I shall be eating nothing and exercising non-stop. and STILL gaining weight!
6:17 pm
J. C.
I'll lend you my dog, Katie - she'll take you for walks! ;)
6:17 pm
Dorens
yay stid. . i need 14 more
6:17 pm
stidmama
Katie -- get another hamster, let him out of the cage and then catch him! Do this three times a day...
6:17 pm
oodleberry
about the spoon and diet etc...
6:17 pm
Dorens
I have a couple of years on you stid, which is why I'm just about there now
6:17 pm
J. C.
HAHAHA, stidmama!!!
6:18 pm
J. C.
Oh hush, you youngsters! :P
6:18 pm
J. C.

oh oodles, that's okay. I suspect if you don't understand you probably don't need to.

*respectfully offers elder the best rocking chair and blankie in house*
6:18 pm

I think that a dog would be about the only thing to get me out the house until summer. Lol stid, chasing hamster and keeping kitties away would certainly keep me fit
6:18 pm

hello dan-the-younger! LOL
6:18 pm

6:19 pm
Dorens
hello there, young dan
6:19 pm
Frances
Hi back again. Hello dan. How are the pups?
6:19 pm

6:29 pm

7:08 pm

Well, my Babble Expert thing loads - but after that, it just won't do it's thing. :( *SIGH*
7:24 pm
J. C.
Erm - its thing, I meant to type.
7:24 pm
cherlyq63
what is a babble expert, or do you mean lickety's
7:24 pm
Frances
Just heard that Natasha Richardson has died.
7:25 pm
J. C.
It's a programme you can get from Lickety, cheryq . . .
7:25 pm
sandyloo
sorry fran but who is she?
7:25 pm
sandyloo
cheryl, babble expert is a great thing devised by lickety where everything is on the same page
7:26 pm
J. C.
She was an actress, Sandy . . .
7:26 pm
Frances
Actress married to Liam Neeson
7:26 pm
J. C.
Yes, Sandy - a great thing if it works. It simply won't, for me . . . not sure why, but the word list and the chatter box won't load, they just 'hang'.
7:26 pm
cherlyq63
so when I use lickety's babble clues thats the babble expert or am I missing something
7:26 pm
sandyloo
oh then she is quite young-what happened ?
7:27 pm
cherlyq63
snow boarding accident while taking private lessons
7:27 pm
sandyloo
there are two things cheryl, one is the normal lickety and the other is a program called babble expert
7:27 pm
Frances
She had a skiing accident. Serious head injury.
7:27 pm
J. C.
No, cherty - the 'Babble Expert' is just a special browser, that hast the same word list, plus the grid and normal list beside it, then the chatterbox - so everything is all in one.
7:27 pm
J. C.
You can still do it without that - just means alt-tabbing between the normal page and the list page.
7:28 pm
sandyloo
that is terrible , I really like Liam Neeson
7:28 pm
Frances
Although they are saying that tne neurologist said that she might have already had some sort of aneurism and that is what caused her fall.
7:28 pm
cherlyq63
ooh sounds nice
7:28 pm
J. C.
It is terrible, yes . . . very tragic. :(
7:29 pm
Frances
Very sad. Two young children.

8:23 pm
J. C.
No, of course you're not a 'tard' - yes, you can get notifications that way, but what I meant was you don't have to rely on Yahoo. Just log into Flickr, and you'll find the invitation there, to accept . . .
