12:33 am

mrpresident

competative, crazy! It is a way of life!!
It is an olympic sport in my eyes! These people are amazing, but the injuries and mental anguish etc is so hard

12:34 am

Pinikula

(scrolled back, mlf) What????

12:34 am

DR1965

would be nice- we are going to be on water rationing in July

12:34 am

MLFAN17

Pini shortly after you told me about that UR 7 i found one of them!

12:34 am

mrpresident

There is no governing body for the cheerleaders, so they have no safety standards...

12:34 am

MLFAN17

West wasnt that made into a tv movie??

12:34 am

Pinikula

* smile *

12:34 am

MLFAN17

12:34 am

herinfernallady

erk stupid net

12:35 am

Pinikula

make sure you get the sister-word, mlf

12:35 am

MLFAN17

west hmm kellie martin and tori spelling if i am not mistaken?

12:35 am

mrpresident

cheerleading has become theatre... it is a sport that imitates dolls

12:35 am

herinfernallady

Actually there is regulations on basket tosses and such now

12:36 am

mrpresident

they are not allowed to do sexually suggestive moves either...

but there is still no governing body for their safety

12:36 am

Pinikula

Isn't there a National Cheerleading Assocation (at least at the collegiate level)?

12:36 am

MLFAN17

Thanks pini thought they might be similar just havent found it yet and theirs a 3rd as well

12:36 am

herinfernallady

http://www.nationalspirit.com/

MLFAN17

Aww okay good night Pinik

12:37 am

Pinikula

12:37 am

mrpresident

the practise sessions are carried out on a concrete basketball court... etc... no nets, no mats... it is darn scary.

12:37 am

Pinikula

12:38 am

12:39 am

mrpresident

yes MLF, that is what needs to be addressed.

12:39 am

mrpresident

hi west :)

12:39 am

herinfernallady

What cracks me up is some of the mental capacity. Light bulb vacant etc. I loved watching ESP cheerleading and one of the routines started with Marilyn Mansons Beautiful people Talk about not smart since about people like them

12:39 am

MLFAN17

That is beyond scary

12:39 am

westford

hi

12:39 am

herinfernallady

UM Mr pres

12:39 am

herinfernallady

http://aacca.org/

12:39 am

mrpresident

and hi :)

12:40 am

herinfernallady

http://aacca.org/

12:40 am

cherlyq63

more and more schools are making up rules for protection, our uil in texas has such rules, but not alot of states have them

12:40 am

MLFAN17

herin some of their music sure is suggestive i even heard te song Push it or at least partial duing one of the cheerleaders routines in a competition once

12:40 am

mrpresident

Texas is the only state with the rules in place

12:40 am

herinfernallady

There is rules and ruglations. that is the American Association of Cheerleading

12:41 am

mrpresident

cheerleaders are pop culture icons! Synonomous with popularity... they are willing to risk their lives though.

12:41 am

cherlyq63

problem is those rules are antiquated and so many new moves are not covered by them

12:42 am

mrpresident

infern, there is no governing body to those rules

12:42 am

herinfernallady

That is the 09 Guidelines.

12:42 am

MLFAN17

i see a lot of moves over and over. i am a bit bothered with soem of the outfits they wear

12:42 am

cherlyq63

then maybe they are finally waking up to issue

12:42 am

herinfernallady

Puts on lawyer hat. But at that age they should be responsible for their safety too.

12:43 am

mrpresident

indeed MLF... it is very controvertial especially amongst the young children

12:43 am

cherlyq63

yep, but alot of kids think it will look good for scolarships to have difficult moves

12:44 am

MLFAN17

thats something else mrp why do they have younger cheerleaders like those under the age of say 13???

12:44 am

mrpresident

They push the envelope every year in the national championships!!

12:44 am

herinfernallady

meh.

12:44 am

jillibus

kids get scholarships for cheerleading?

12:45 am

MLFAN17

sure do mrp

12:45 am

cherlyq63

yes its a sport over here

12:45 am

mrpresident

they have cheerleaders in primary school... 8 years old etc... and their culture is very much around being pretty and popular... and sexual to some.

12:45 am

westford

they sure do and for twirling too

12:45 am

herinfernallady

I don't ahve much respect for a culture that has an appearance of ZERO brains and an intolerance for others that aren't them

12:45 am

jillibus

What has cheerleading got to do with scholarship? What's happened to the meaning of words?

12:45 am

cherlyq63

boys and girls take it

12:45 am

westford

12:49 am

MLFAN17

12:50 am

12:51 am

mrpresident

Some teams lose perspective on the children... some coaches are way over the top and forget about the fun aspect of it.

Uneaixoise

hey, sprite :-)

3:32 am

Uneaixoise

been up since 3:00am . . . had horrible horrible nightmare about snakes and am afraid to go back to sleep :-(

3:33 am

sprite

aw darling! Try airing your bedroom and leaving on a light.

3:34 am

Uneaixoise

believe me, lights are definitely staying on!

3:35 am

sprite

bad nightmares are so bone-chilling and so real for the subconcious :(

3:35 am

Uneaixoise

indeed . . .

3:36 am

Uneaixoise

on a different subject, did anyone hear the NPR segment last week on Frank Baum who wrote The Wizard of Oz?

3:36 am

sprite

do you have something like an aurasoma spray or a very light perfume that you really really like? If so, spray a bit over your bed. It helps soothing your senses.

3:36 am

Uneaixoise

The wicked witch was based on his mother in law! LOL

3:37 am

sprite

sorry, not me. ROFLOL!

3:39 am

M!M!

hey y'all..saturn isn't in the dictionary, wonder why?

3:39 am

Uneaixoise

proper name

3:40 am

sprite

hi M!M, I think because it is a name and must be capitalised. Nice find though.

3:40 am

M!M!

thank ya!

3:44 am

sprite

red boxes of doom here :(

3:57 am

sprite

finally! Glad to be back...

3:58 am

Uneaixoise

it was just you, sprite :-)

3:58 am

Uneaixoise

your very own red box assortment pack!

3:58 am

sprite

now that is what I call SPAM

4:02 am

Uneaixoise

sprite, I was trying to distract myself from the snake nightmare by glancing over world news items and . . . stumbled onto an article about global warming causing some carnivorous spiders to increase in size -- AAACCCKKK!!

4:03 am

sprite

eeeek Une, silly! There is never anything calming about world news. Try a site about errr.... baby animals. Baby names (Ata knows a good one). Bees and birds and flowers and trees. Landscapes.

4:03 am

lynxxx

Hi Sprite & Une

4:03 am

sprite

hey lyn :)

4:03 am

I am stumed . I need a clue for as 9. But also I am mssing an A 6 word, but there is no blank in lickety's list. Did he forget a word?

8:48 am

Uniquity

Inge, it is possible that a word went into the list and not the grid. Happens to me quite often. My list reads 225, same as the grid.

8:48 am

EvaNadine

AS9 builds off of the SY7-8 combo....think of nerves in the brain + chemicals firing in there...

8:49 am

EvaNadine

theres AF6/27 in the grid.

8:53 am

inge

OK, trying for the as 9. The other a word checked in.

Uniquity

There. I've updated myself for today's icon theme.

8:56 am

8:57 am

EvaNadine

AS9 builds off of the SY7-8 combo

8:57 am

Erda

And it's plural ONLY

8:57 am

EvaNadine

uni -- lori IS very colorful in your icon. ;)

8:57 am

inge

I cannot find a word that starts with as and adds sy

8:58 am

EvaNadine

you just stick an A in front of the SY8.

8:58 am

Erda

4:15 pm

crosshair

eva,i use the salad fork for those emergency back itches and not the dinner fork:)

4:17 pm

EvaNadine

hah, sorry crossy, this is a baby shower question.

4:17 pm

crosshair

ahh ..hehe

4:18 pm

BabbleRabble

I think babies should never shower alone

4:18 pm

crosshair

any guys out there can e-mail me for pointers on picking up ladies at baby showers and how not got get injured in the process;)

4:18 pm

bubba218

Try www.establishyourselfny.com, she is the ettiquette expert alot of the fortune 500 companies and diplomate use. She will usually answer your questions very promptly

4:18 pm

westford

hi all thanks for the laughs crossy and bab

4:19 pm

crosshair

howdy westford;)

4:19 pm

bichon

picking up ladies, aren't you married [happily]?

4:19 pm

westford

eva what's the question?

4:19 pm

crosshair

err..im just using my past ..very past experience..yea..thats it

4:19 pm

lynxxx

hi West

4:20 pm

westford

hi lyn

4:20 pm

westford

been deep in the grid just looked at the chat when I saw the comments lol

4:21 pm

EvaNadine

ok, so, i knwo generally people have a shower for their first pregnancy + not after that.
but is it "socially acceptable" to have another shower for your 3rd pregnancy if the first 2 were girls + the 3rd is a boy?

4:21 pm

westford

absolutely

4:21 pm

westford

those hand me down won't do

4:21 pm

lynxxx

BBL

4:22 pm

crosshair

well,westford,you see the salad fork,while it does have shorter tines it is superior for back scratches as the time are a tad more blunt than the average dinner fork.so embarrasing fork puncture questoins can be avoided at the E.R

4:22 pm

crosshair

tines even

4:22 pm

EvaNadine

thats news to me. i thought you got one shower, and thats it...

4:23 pm

westford

I understand crossy I like the dinner fork because the handle is generally longer

4:23 pm

westford

how far apart are the babies?

4:23 pm

bichon

di 7/32?

4:23 pm

crosshair

but it is bad form at baby showers....

4:23 pm

magazinemom

Eva- that is considered totally acceptable these days

4:23 pm

pythonx

i have always thought it was one shower per couple, no matter how many babies

4:23 pm

EvaNadine

lets see....her first daughter turns 7 this year and her second daughter is 3, i think.

4:24 pm

EvaNadine

pythonx -- thats the rule i always knew.

4:24 pm

westford

so she must still have the big items like crib and stroller

4:24 pm

bubba218

di + plural letter + the maount of your mortage is dependent on the interest ****

4:24 pm

bubba218

amount**

4:24 pm

bichon

ty bubba

4:24 pm

pythonx

alot of items can be reused whatever the baby's sex

4:24 pm

magazinemom

I had a shower for each of my children. First was a girl, second was a boy- they were 20 months apaprt, so I mostly got boy clothes and boy items

4:25 pm

westford

baby showers can get costly if the mother 'registers' all big ticket items

4:25 pm

westford

that's true python for the most part

4:26 pm

crosshair

and in the end,if momma wants a showr for her baby let her have a baby shower.i mean whats going to happen the excess baby shower police are going to come and tear gas the place?? lol

4:26 pm

bichon

My d.i.l. is expecting a boy this time and she thinks the ideas of a second shower is funny

4:26 pm

crosshair

life is to enjoy so do it :)

4:26 pm

westford

usually someone else gives the shower sometimes it's a surprise

4:26 pm

magazinemom

Many times it is because the mom's friends want to throw her a shower. And you aren't necessarily obligated to buy a gift, just send a nice card

4:26 pm

pythonx

no the police won't come, but she may come off as greedy to others

4:26 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks bubba..been looking for that one a long time

4:27 pm

westford

eva how close are you to the mother will you be expected to attend?

4:27 pm

EvaNadine

the whole point of the baby shower is that the couple has nothing for a baby, so you are showering them with the things they need. all they dont have now, are "boy" clothes.
to me, it just seems like they are begging for gifts. strikes me as a little tacky...
(i received the invitation from the mother-to-be's mother.)

4:27 pm

crosshair

mm perhaps python..theese things can be a mystery to us menfolk:/

4:27 pm

EvaNadine

this is my best friend. so yeah, i pretty much have to attend.

4:28 pm

magazinemom

It *IS* poor etiquette for a close family member to have the shower though

4:28 pm

westford

and she's sure it's a boy? my cousins dil was having a boy ( her third child) who turned out to be another girl

4:28 pm

pythonx

crossy, you wouldn't believe some of the plotting that goes into showers these days.

4:28 pm

crosshair

as a guy with a baby on the way all i knew was to say goodbye to any positive cash flow for many years;/

4:29 pm

BabbleRabble

If without any suggestion from the parents a friend decides to hold a second shower are the parents obligated to say they will not participate?

4:29 pm

westford

so true crossy

4:29 pm

EvaNadine

i DO know it is "bad etiquette" for family members to throw the shower. i threw her first baby shower.

4:29 pm

magazinemom

the shower should be given by friends or relatives like aunts or cousins

4:30 pm

magazinemom

sorry eva, didn't mean to suggest you didn't know that :-) was just saying that was the bigger breach of etiquette :-)

4:30 pm

westford

are you kidding bab? grandparents would have to participate

4:30 pm

crosshair

lol seems like less planning went into d-day than what planning and back room meeting that go on for baby showers lol

4:30 pm

westford

and would want to

4:31 pm

speedfreak

eva has she said anything to you "like boy another shower would be great" but personally I think it is tacky

4:31 pm

pythonx

i have started to receive invites now that tell me I am expected to bring food and what food I should bring.

4:31 pm

BabbleRabble

I said nothing of grandparents

4:31 pm

westford

you didn't? let me scroll back

4:31 pm

EvaNadine

sorry mom, wasnt trying to imply that you were implying that.
(reviews that statement in her own mind...)

4:31 pm

magazinemom

hugs eva :-)

4:32 pm

westford

mea culpa bab you said parents

4:32 pm

crosshair

crossy slowly backs away as the mysteries of baby showers intensifies....

4:32 pm

EvaNadine

nope. i had no idea about another shower until today, when i got the invitation from her mother.

4:32 pm

magazinemom

whoa python! that is bad!

4:33 pm

westford

have any of you heard that some people think it's bad luck to have a shower before the baby is born?

4:33 pm

BabbleRabble

some people think a lot of things

4:34 pm

EvaNadine

crossy, the general rule is that in no way, shape, or form are you allowed to ask for gifts. you are not allowed to have your mother or siblings ask for gifts.
if someone else wants to GIVE you gifts (thus, someone else throwing the shower), then that is ok.

4:34 pm

pythonx

i have heard that west, but I am not superstirious

4:34 pm

westford

are you getting grouchy?

4:34 pm

westford

that's for bab

4:34 pm

westford

it's not very convenient

4:35 pm

westford

it's nice to have everything set up before the baby come

4:35 pm

westford

comes*

4:35 pm

men are simple creatures..we like a cold beer,maybe a good book or a good sunset over the lake by the cottage and a lovely lass leaning on yer shoulder so you can smell her clean hair smell while the sun goes down;)

4:36 pm

4:36 pm

4:36 pm

pythonx

can i introduce you to my husband, so maybe you'll rub off on him crossy?

4:36 pm

westford

I imagine she's get lots of little boy outfits

4:36 pm

EvaNadine

shes my best friend, so im gonna get her a gift regardless.
the whole "second shower" thing just really threw me for a loop...

4:36 pm

4:38 pm

pythonx

well 28 years later and mine is not trained. so either i'm a bad trainer or he's untrainable

4:38 pm

8:51 pm

Roses6

Also, IMHO, Focus in that sense isn't the latin word so it isn't conjugated like one. It's a proper noun. That leaves the question of what rule TO follow.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

hi Herin

9:36 pm

DR1965

ty Dawger-

9:36 pm

torgone

Seriously BR - I think there are clear-cut legal issues

9:36 pm

DR1965

Hi Herin

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

Trifs can i speak to you please?

9:37 pm

Trifioso

not as clear cut as you would think - he has already had the closing on the house, so what can be done?

9:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes tor. but i found out you cannot get blood from a stone.

9:37 pm

BabbleRabble

he should be found in contempt

9:37 pm

Trifioso

sure herin. need me to bop back over?

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

please. I need to go there sorry guys

9:38 pm

BabbleRabble

he should be made to account for the money he took and it should offset against the property division

9:38 pm

torgone

It doesn't matter. Don't resign. He violated a legal agreement.

9:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

ours was 50/50 NOT COUNTING THE STUFF HE STOLE BEOFRE THE ORDER> i mean it just cannot be enforces in real life.

9:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, the bonds wer in his name from payrollwithholding, how could i be entitiled to any?

9:39 pm

BabbleRabble

you are

9:39 pm

lbdawger

joint property, TO no matter who's name is on the papers.

9:40 pm

BabbleRabble

stop acting like a victim and get some advice

9:40 pm

torgone

Yes it does matter. Men take advantage of women because women resign, give up and believe nothing can be done. Fight for yourself.

9:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am telling you there is no way to enforece it, unless you are talking millions of $

9:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

and my car was in his name so when i wrecked it HE got the insurance

9:41 pm

Trifioso

I don't think it is millions, TO - and, if you are not the primary wage earner, HE has to pay your legal bills

9:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

and sold his and pocketed the money. i made more than him. always.

9:42 pm

lbdawger

that's an error on the insurance company, and they should have taken care of that situation if you'd notified them.

9:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

dawg they pay to the owner. that was not me. pre - decree and settlement

9:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

but all sa4, seeing that behavior, i am well rid of him. you think you know someone.

9:43 pm

Trifioso

I am a little panicked about alimony, that is for sure. It is no guaranteed anymore....

9:44 pm

BabbleRabble

Trifioso, go online if nothing else. Search your state's divorce laws. Knowledge is power. He already has indicated he will not be bound by legal orders unless forced to. Force him too.

9:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

no but have faith, trif. and a good attorney.

9:44 pm

Trifioso

yes, I have done that BR. read the entire chapter, in fact. Can't say I understood all of it, but I did read it.

9:44 pm

lbdawger

have it paid through the court, Trif. that way the court has the records of his payments

9:45 pm

Trifioso

generally speaking, which would you all say is better: to ask him to put my name on the deed to the new house, or to insist on half the value of the house he bought paid to me?

9:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

you knoe, being old enough to remember when no fault divorce became law, i rmemebr the argument against it. too young to understand then, but do very well now.

9:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

take the money. house with no way to upkeep does not work, and values are too labile

9:46 pm

BabbleRabble

If money for a lawyer is an issue, ask the mediator to allow you to use some to hire an attorney. If funds are not available than ask the mediator to order your husband to pay. After all, he already has spent thousands.

9:46 pm

lbdawger

I think your name on the deed protects you in getting a fair share, since what he says is half may not be a fair half.

9:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

dawg that can be gamed. i did so a bit to get back some of what i lost.

9:47 pm

BabbleRabble

Listens to your guts and brain and not your heart.

9:47 pm

torgone

What is better is to stand on the signed agreement which is a binding legal document. Let a judge or arbiter decide what is the outcome of abrogating that agreement.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

on the other hand...cash in hand now keeps you from wondering if you'll ever get anything from the house

9:48 pm

Trifioso

what he says is half should be pretty easy to determine, since he just paid for the house on Thursday last.

9:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

gee trif and all i am very sorry but this is too close to home and i have spoken too much

9:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

so forgive me and i will sign out for the night

9:49 pm

lbdawger

night, TO

9:49 pm

DR1965

good Luck trif- I am off to watch my Thursdya shows

9:49 pm

Trifioso

i agree - didn't mean to open a big can of worms. don't leave, TO!!!

9:49 pm

DR1965

Bye everyone

9:49 pm

torgone

I should bow out too, since my only value here is caring that Trifs gets a fair shake ..

9:50 pm

Trifioso

I will only speak grid from now on , I promise!

9:50 pm

lbdawger

night, DR. I want Trif to get what's fair for her and the kids too.

9:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

no trif - we cannot solve it but have given some food for thought perhaps

9:51 pm

Marc Freeman

Good evening, could I have a clue with the two ur7's, please?

9:51 pm

DR1965

me too- I have no experience with divorce so I just pray that whatever happens is for the better

9:51 pm

lbdawger

Hi Mark. they both have to do with Pee. the first one is the tract it comes from and the other is the act

9:53 pm

Trifioso

lbd, that is a FUNNY clue! well done you!

9:54 pm

lbdawger

ahh, thanks trif

9:54 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks lb got them both.

9:55 pm

lbdawger

9:57 pm

Trifioso

the mystery of enable continues....

9:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

why, dAwg? un6 is just plain wrong

9:59 pm

Trifioso

what's the un6?

10:00 pm

Trifioso

oh, hold on....think I found it. yeah, that's pretty lame

10:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

plural of slightly less plausible un5

10:01 pm

Trifioso

does it have to do with repairing a tear?

10:01 pm

BabbleRabble

somethings are better left un 6

10:01 pm

lbdawger

what? you've never taped over a torn package to make it un5? lol

10:01 pm

Trifioso

10:02 pm

lbdawger

10:02 pm

Trifioso

Trifioso

10:06 pm

torgone

Right up until it wasn't funny any more ..

10:06 pm

Trifioso

was a big drinking game when I was in college too. every time someone said a rank, bottoms up!

10:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

and the movie? totally different tone

10:07 pm

Trifioso

I saw the movie on tv when i was a kid, and really shouldn't have seen it at all - too young. the fake suicide scene scared the hell out of me

10:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

wheb did you think it got un funny?

10:07 pm

herinfernallady

yawn sigh i think i will just hide here and no pushing me out

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

yep

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

and no

10:10 pm

Trifioso

this is the hardest grid I have come across since I have been back from Lent

10:10 pm

torgone

It started turning into the Alan Alda self-adoration show .. got too preachy ..

10:11 pm

Trifioso

hmmm. I stopped liking it when Margaret was walking around with her hair all feathered. NOT very period-appropriate

10:11 pm

torgone

That was about the same time ..

10:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

so many haad left by that time, i guess he was the lynchpin, at least in his own mind

10:12 pm

Trifioso

I do like the smithsonian series alan alda did for PBS though

10:13 pm

torgone

That was pretty good ..

10:13 pm

torgone

He's definitely intelligent and literate ..

10:13 pm

Trifioso

I am missing ER....

10:14 pm

torgone

I'm not

10:14 pm

BabbleRabble

you have a letter thief?

10:14 pm

Trifioso

He was always so interested and engaged in what he seeing and reporting on. it helped engage the audience

10:14 pm

Trifioso

ha ha BR --> not ER, BR

10:14 pm

Trifioso

I miss that show....my Thursday date for 15 years

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

BabbleRabble

10:15 pm

BabbleRabble

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

opps Proposition 8 been passed?

10:16 pm

BabbleRabble

don't have a tv

10:17 pm

torgone

One of the things I value most is irreverence and M*A*S*H started out very irreverent ..then it got reverent .. That's when I started tuning out ..

10:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

heck trif i should have left, just scarfed down cupcakes :(

10:17 pm

Trifioso

10:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:17 pm

Trifioso

10:18 pm

10:19 pm

herinfernallady

sorry I only get snippets of news here

10:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

they were always so bad, you felt good by comparison!

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

wow Babble. Another one that should right a book

10:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

and it had no plot whatsoever. constatnly parodied itself. like a cult.

10:23 pm

torgone

Not like a cult. Cults have no sense of parody or irony. Cults take themselves way too seriously.

10:23 pm

Trifioso
