12:47 am

J. C.

Hi, PAV! :)

12:47 am

J. C.

Long time no see?

J. C.

Go to the URL in my bio, Pav - have photos of my dogs posted in the set, on that page - click the first photo, to be taken to another page where you can view them larger, and go through them all.

12:48 am

joshuavorbis

halfway

12:48 am

J. C.

My dogs and my cat, and chickens, etc.

12:48 am

PAV3

I have been working too long for the past two weeks putting the budget together and pretty much ignoring Babble...my apologies for lost conversations and missed news...

12:49 am

flosey

good luck Pav

12:49 am

rbud

oooh, PAV, that sounds like a good deal - you don't mind giving presentations? I used to get such butterflies...

12:50 am

J. C.

152 words - 130 left.

12:50 am

ChrissieDee

good luck PAV, sounds like you are well prepared

12:50 am

PAV3

I enjoy explaining numbers to people...I hate the notion of "auditioning" though....

12:51 am

J. C.

Sounds like you've been very busy, PAV . . .

12:51 am

PAV3

busy and now stressing...my departing boss will be there to lend only moral support...

12:52 am

rbud

well, best of luck, I'm sure you'll do great! (((PAV)))

12:53 am

PAV3

so for now it's adieu, perhaps some good/better news after the weekend...

12:53 am

jillibus

12:53 am

PAV3

get er done J.C.!

12:54 am

rbud

bye, PAV, and go for it!

12:54 am

J. C.

Did you see what I said to you earlier here, PAV?

12:54 am

J. C.

Oh, never mind then . . . :/ Take care, Pav.

12:55 am

PAV3

yes...linking to pics before I sleep...

12:55 am

J. C.

Oh, OK Pav . . . :)

12:55 am

joshuavorbis

12:56 am

J. C.

Have you seen them, Jilli? I've put one of my cat in there.

12:56 am

J. C.

She's a little odd looking . . .

12:57 am

jillibus

this is in your yahoo spot, jc?

12:57 am

rururocks

wow. I got to 220 pretty quickly

12:57 am

J. C.

No, Jilli - my Google profile and Picasa album, at the link in my Babble profile.

12:57 am

flosey

wow ru, good for you

12:57 am

rbud

go, ru, go!!

12:57 am

J. C.

Erm, Jilli - you haven't seen my Yahoo page in the past couple of days, have you? :P

12:58 am

J. C.

There's a lot of silliness going on there right now, Jilli - so if you look, be warned! ;)

12:58 am

jillibus

JC, I can't keep up with all your sites! I did see your google one a day or two ago.

12:58 am

J. C.

I've posted a horrible old promotional pic of me - it's dreadful, HAHAHA! :P

12:59 am

J. C.

On Yahoo, that is . . .

12:59 am

J. C.

All because of something Laura and Janet said . . .

12:59 am

J. C.

And the comments my friends have been leaving there, are very silly! :P

12:59 am

J. C.

I only have those now, Jilli - not much to keep up with. ;)

1:00 am

PAV3

J. C...I really like your photos...the dogs, the cute little chicky and of course that blue (silk?) suit...

1:00 am

J. C.

Not silk PAV, no - I won't wear silk.

1:01 am

jillibus

oh yes, JC -- unusual markings on your tortie cat!

1:01 am

J. C.

Thanks - Valerie's in that one, too.

1:01 am

rururocks

what's wrong with silk?

1:01 am

J. C.

Yes, Jilli - she is a little strange looking!

1:01 am

PAV3

hmmm...looks nice anywhooo...and I love the colour blue in most variations....

1:02 am

PAV3

Valerie looks alot like my friends' two pets ...adopted almost two years apart they look identical

1:04 am

PAV3

well if I do get the job promo, I'll be wearing ties, and lots of them,,,and most of mine are silk....actually I think they all are...

1:04 am

J. C.

The silkworms are killed, and in a very inhuman manner, ruru - so as there's no earthly need to wear silk, I don't. Same reason I don't wear or use leather, etc.

1:04 am

J. C.

That's too bad, Pav . . .

1:04 am

dart001

firewords

1:05 am

J. C.

Inhumane, I meant to type there . . .

1:05 am

flosey

wow Dart, super

1:05 am

PAV3

yay dart!

1:07 am

PAV3

when I was hired some 6 1/2 years ago into my present position, ny boss told me I didn't have to wear ties because I wouldn't have much public contact...so I gave roughly 3 dozens ties to the local men's shelter,,, now I have to rebuild my collection...hopefully!

1:07 am

rbud

woohoo, dart!!!

1:07 am

jillibus

JC just read your captions and my grammar granniness came to the fore -- Albie LYING on the grass, not laying. Hens lay...

1:08 am

anike

50 to go

1:08 am

jillibus

So what's that nice shiny blue suit made of if not silk?

1:09 am

rbud

go, anike, go!!

1:09 am

J. C.

An acetate material I think, Jilli - but it's not silk.

1:09 am

jillibus

looks good anyway

1:10 am

rururocks

what about those poor acetates?

1:10 am

rururocks

just hanging around in a beaker and presto.. on facebook.

1:10 am

PAV3

ok well I really must rest up for my next big day tomorrow...

1:11 am

rururocks

1:35 am

Kazzer99

Good Morning Babblers - this will be my last stab at thing until Monday or maybe if its not too late Sunday evening as we are off to Mum in laws for a few days.

1:36 am

jillibus

hello kazz

1:38 am

Kazzer99

i love the clue jilli

1:38 am

flosey

30 to go, I'm off to bed, goodnight all, back in the morning

1:40 am

jillibus

thanks, kazz -- don't think anyone else has noticed it, lol!

1:40 am

flosey

I did jilli

1:40 am

jillibus

night flosey! (refresh to see my clue?)

1:40 am

jillibus

oh good.

1:42 am

Kazzer99

i hve updated my icon as well

1:42 am

Kazzer99

it is also in the grid

1:43 am

jillibus

kazz, I don't think that icon is your hausband...

1:43 am

ChrissieDee

Kazz - love the way you took a picture of your other half in the snow rather than help him up, lol

1:44 am

Kazzer99

that was very deliberate - we spent loads of time jumping in the deep bits - its was a plouged field with ditches and it was great fun

1:45 am

ChrissieDee

young at heart!

1:45 am

Kazzer99

you betcha

1:46 am

flosey

Kazz, I just refreshed and still see a very blue icon

1:47 am

J. C.

Sorry, Jilli - had issues with my browser, and everything freezing. I had to 'end task' on it, then run a programme that finds and fixes Windows' errors. And yes, I've corrected the error you pointed out in my album, also. ;) Thank you . . .

1:47 am

Kazzer99

click on it and it makes sense

1:48 am

flosey

no Kazz, still see the same black and blue icon

1:48 am

Kazzer99

that s the clue

1:48 am

flosey

oh, thought someone said it was a picture of your hubby in the snow

1:49 am

jillibus

kazz -- surely it's not your hubby! That's what your bio says

1:49 am

flosey

can you give us the first 2 letters?

1:49 am

ChrissieDee

that's a picture in flicker flosey

1:49 am

J. C.

Erm, Jilli? :/ Did you see what I just typed to you?

1:50 am

jillibus

yes, JC -- all's well (and I had seen the silliness on yahoo)

1:50 am

ChrissieDee

lol jilli

1:50 am

Kazzer99

changed the bio as well - another clue - I am become de* - the destroyer of worlds

1:51 am

flosey

I think jilli and I are seeing the same icon

1:51 am

jillibus

did you save it, kazz? I still see that it's your hubby

1:52 am

Kazzer99

grrr didnt change it - it has now

1:53 am

jillibus

Just refreshed and saw your icon clue, flosey -- lovely!

1:53 am

J. C.

Oh, you saw that, Jilli? :P I have some very silly friends!

1:53 am

Kazzer99

is the c a really strange word

1:53 am

J. C.

I'm not silly though, no . . . not at all. :P

1:53 am

jillibus

yes, kaz -- means comb-like

1:54 am

jillibus

oh never, JC, just hairy

1:54 am

J. C.

I think it must be, Kazzer - considering it would have to start with a 'cs' or 'ct' . . .

1:54 am

J. C.

Erm, not usually Jilli - because it's shaven, more often than not! :P

1:54 am

Kazzer99

or even cth?

1:54 am

jillibus

it's ct7/36

1:55 am

jillibus

you must have eaten a lot of carrots

1:55 am

Kazzer99

thanks jilli - looked it up ugh

1:56 am

J. C.

Who must've eatch a lot of carrots, Jilli?

1:56 am

jillibus

got your icon clue, kazz, ty

1:56 am

J. C.

Erm - 'eaten'?

1:57 am

jillibus

you, JC -- they put hair on your chest, said my dad, so I didn't eat them, lol

1:57 am

J. C.

Oh? I've never heard that about carrots - and yes, have always eaten a lot of them. :P

1:57 am

Kazzer99

glad it all worked at last - my pc is feeling stange at the moment - hubby has been doing stuff on it for me and i cant quite find everything - but he did give me a new terabite hard drive

1:58 am

jillibus

nice hubby, kazz

1:59 am

Kazzer99

yeah - he does nice things like that every now and again - not that romantic but when it comes to computery things he gives me lovely surprizes

2:21 am

rbud

some of the others are pretty good, too, there are pics of two whole decks - but they don't all have "poetry".

2:21 am

grannyrose

hey, rbud,except for the hourglass figure, that could be me!!!!!

2:21 am

sprite

lol rose

2:22 am

rbud

who knew they had such ideas for decks of cards back in the day?

2:22 am

sprite

not me! But I love it.

2:23 am

rbud

* mourning my former hourglass figure, too * :(

2:23 am

sprite

am still an hourglass, only one that lets sand through a lot faster

2:23 am

rbud

at least I used to have a waist, if not an hourglass, lol!

2:24 am

rbud

I hear ya, sprite, lol!!!

2:24 am

sprite

:D

2:24 am

grannyrose

waist.... let me think, that's something you have at about size 10 or 12, right?

2:25 am

grannyrose

it's os long, it's hard to remember......

2:26 am

sprite

lol rose!

2:26 am

rbud

I think so...maybe even when I was a size 14...but now I shop in a whole different part of the garment section.

2:26 am

lynxxx

we have different sizes here Rosebud in case you were wondering

2:27 am

grannyrose

ah well, then i wouldn't have my beautiful sons.

2:27 am

sprite

2:28 am

lynxxx

Deacon is one good looking boy Rose

2:29 am

lynxxx

lol Rose

2:29 am

grannyrose

too true, lyn,

2:30 am

rbud

I guess I really should clean out the "nostalgic" part of my closet someday - keep vainly hoping to squeeze back into some of it. ;)

2:31 am

sprite

oh I recognise that!

2:35 am

lynxxx

Just vacuum pack it Rosebud and store away

2:35 am

grannyrose

* giggle* wish i could use the vacuum pack on me! * sigh *

2:36 am

sprite

for what it's worth, rose, I think you are beautiful the way you are

2:36 am

lynxxx

mmm, I think they have invented something like that. I wouldn't be game to have it though

2:37 am

rbud

sigh...I had my annual mammogram the other day...she had to get out a bigger plate... :P

2:37 am

rbud

tee hee!

2:37 am

grannyrose

awwww, thanx sprite. as my wonderful man says, built for comfort,not speed.

2:37 am

sprite

always a bit stressy, that mammobusiness

2:38 am

rbud

yay for that, g'rose, my old man says the same thing. isn't it sweet!

2:38 am

sprite

exactly, rose! Isn't it great to have a husband like that? Mine is the same.

2:38 am

grannyrose

mammograms.... the day a bloke puts his family jewels between those plates, is the day i will voluntarily have one!

2:38 am

sprite

me neither, lyn. Scary thought. I believe it is something like melting the fat and sucking it away?

2:39 am

sprite

LOL rose!

2:40 am

grannyrose

did you know? an ultrasound does a better job than a mammogram...why can't we have that instead?

2:40 am

sprite

no I didn't know that. Sounds a lot more comfortable!

2:40 am

lynxxx

My memory of my maternal grandmother (who died when I was about10) was having a great big cuddle from a wonderfully soft large lady. I have no memories of being cuddled by my skinny little paternal grandmother.

2:41 am

sprite

that is saying something, lyn

2:41 am

lynxxx

Good idea Rose - I wonder if it is cost?

2:41 am

grannyrose

ditto here, lyn. strange, isn't it? and yet i think my paternal grandma loved me just the same.

2:41 am

rbud

would take a lot longer, too, I'll bet

2:42 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud, i guess it would!

2:45 am

grannyrose

let's start an anti-mammogram movement, and demand an ultrasound the next time.

2:45 am

rbud

I'm all for that!

2:45 am

sprite

I am in

herinfernallady

Well apparently its all hearsay

5:17 am

Wolvie

pics and comments are hearsay?

5:18 am

BabbleRabble

hearsay is an out of court statement by one not present to testify concerning its veracity

5:19 am

BabbleRabble

you have first hand knowledge

5:19 am

Wolvie

well yes BR, but aren't pics and such used in trial? Direct pics and comments I should say

5:19 am

herinfernallady

No. Everything I have said is hearsay. Yes Babble I know what hearsay is remember I am the mental bunny studying legal practice

5:20 am

BabbleRabble

sure ... but talking to facebook is not a court proceeding

5:20 am

Wolvie

oh - yes - I agree with you lady - what you are saying is hearsay

5:21 am

Wolvie

okay - I am not in disagreement with that BR - i don't know the full story so will look thru the chat

5:21 am

herinfernallady

No but taking it to the dean as proof that I am not being nuts and saying everyone hates me they are picking on me etc

5:21 am

Wolvie

okay- obviously I have opened a can of worms here - sorry! back to grid. ;-)

5:22 am

Scrabbler

I also have cold/cough but no fever or body aches, so I don't think this is H1N1 although I thought about that

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Eva--very autumn-like day here

8:21 am

EvaNadine

8:22 am

Hey, Boo!

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I am also watching first of 2 funerals for fallen Buffalo firefighters. Check out wgrz.com. Our city is in mourning.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

It is estimated that over 10,000 firefighters from around the US and Canada are here to honor their brothers.

8:29 am

Judi

How sad, Scrabbler.

8:30 am

Judi

I remember the processions after 9-11. Just heart-wrenching to see - but very noble and moving ceremonies.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

The 34 yr old FF is to have a son born in 3 wks, making this all the more sadder.

golly gee. i could about throttle my dad right now. i do love him, but he was sure being difficult when i was just on the phone with him!

8:36 am

Judi

What's his malfunction, Eva?

8:38 am

EvaNadine

chris + i are hosting a picnic/cookout tomorrow. we have rented a pavilion in our local park that can hold up to 150. (we are expecting 50-60 people)

8:38 am

EvaNadine

along with the pavilion, we get a liquor license, grills, games, playground, etc

8:39 am

EvaNadine

but he just asked me if there were toilets nearby. i said i wasnt sure, but there is definitely a restroom station in the park somewhere.

8:39 am

EvaNadine

you would have thought i had just said "nope. go F yourself" from his reaction!

8:40 am

Judi

Hmm. Maybe you can get a porta-potty placed nearby.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

My mother obsesses about the availability of a toilet--bladder issues

8:40 am

EvaNadine

we have already booked the whole thing months ago. the party is tomorrow + we have too much to do to even think about that now.
sorry pops, too little, too late.

8:42 am

EvaNadine

i understand people need to use a restroom, but there is one in the park somewhere. it may or may not be nearby, im not sure. we had several factors to consider when selecting which pavilion we wanted, and that wasnt the highest on our list.

8:43 am

Judi

Maybe dad has a problem with sudden urges. Talk to the park people and see if they have a porta-pot they can re-locate for you.

8:43 am

EvaNadine

i am looking at a map now. there are 2 "comfort stations" nearby. i am going to assume those are restrooms.

8:45 am

Scrabbler

I just saw that C word--is it a ct?

EvaNadine

scrab -- yes, CT7/36

Boobear: if it had an "L", it would be a sex toy.

9:03 am

crosshair

here you go ladies,treeat hubby to bacaroni and cheese.....

9:03 am

crosshair

* Mke a white sauce of butter, flour, and milk. I use about 1/3 cup each of butter and flour and 2 1/2 cups of milk.
* Add seasoning (black pepper, cayenne pepper, minced onion, and a dash of worcestererestershire). Microwave for 3 minutes, stir, repeat until thick.
* Meanwhile boil a bunch of elbow macaroni (or rotini, but elbows are more traditional).
* Chop up a block of Velveeta, and when the sauce is thick, dump it in and heat again to melt cheese. Stir until smooth.
* Chop up some bacon (I use the ready-cooked kind). Add the bacon to the sauce and dump it all over the macaroni. Bake for about 45 minutes at 350.
* Optional: saute a block of butter and add a mess of breadcrumbs. Sprinkle butter-ensoaked breadcrumbs over the top.
* Serve with a green vegetable and gastric bypass kit.

9:04 am

Judi

Good God, Crossy. I think my HDL went up 200 points just reading that!

9:04 am

crosshair

hence the bypass kit

9:04 am

Dorens

switch that velveeta to extra sharp vermont cheddar and now you're talking

9:05 am

crosshair

any cheese is good

9:05 am

crosshair

velveeta is a bit oily

9:05 am

Judi

Yes. Velveeta should be banned as a food product. Nasty gluey glop.

9:06 am

Dorens

velveeta isn't even cheese. it's "cheese food"

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Hi Doren

9:06 am

crosshair

i actually stooped eating velveeta about age 10,right around the same time you stop eating that sliced meat with the mac and cheese in it;)

9:07 am

Judi

"Processed cheese product".

9:07 am

crosshair

ugh

9:07 am

wife only eats 7 year old aged white cheddar now..spoiled brat she is..:/

9:07 am

Dorens

hi scrabs - we're going to tanglewood today. were supposed to leave this morning, but have to go to a wake at 2. which allows me time to tackle this big grid

9:08 am

Dorens

i'm with her, crossy... very spoiled indeed

9:08 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the od8 & 9?

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Go for it, Doren. You are speedy.

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Small amounts of cheese are a good source of protein. Goat cheese has half the fat of other cheeses.

9:10 am

crosshair

9:10 am

Dorens

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Judi

9:11 am

Dorens

oh no, judi, if you ever tried it you wouldn't say that!

9:11 am

Judi

Just kidding. I think I've seen it. What kind of cheese is it?

9:11 am

crosshair

evaN i am in annapolis - there are definitely TWO marylands

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

most definitely, TO. im in bethesda -- very different from southern or western MD!

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

heck in annapolis TWO different MDs!

1:57 pm

EvaNadine

heh, yeah.

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i went slumming the other day to find mickey d's

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

there is definitely a wrong side of the tracks...hmmm maybe i was in parole no annapolic

1:58 pm

EvaNadine

MD can be a tough state to figure out, depending where you are. we are technically south of the mason-dixon, so there are definitely areas with that southern charm.
but we have a lot of transplants that live near DC and nap-town, so those areas get more urban.
and well, bmore is....bmore.

1:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

just seeing the signs for parole cracks me up :D

1:59 pm

EvaNadine

heh, and parole isnt a terrible area!

2:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

but they have all the fast food places ligned up in a row like the slums LOL

2:01 pm

EvaNadine

well, parole is a huge shopping center + right near the mall. you get that near any shopping area...

2:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:11 pm

Christa

Hello Anniebrook

3:11 pm

lynxxx

We do get snow on the mountains here BabRab, its been cold enough to get some fresh snow lately. Presume it works its way to the dams eventually. But they are still just over 28% full *sigh*

3:13 pm

BabbleRabble

Wow, 28% is very low .. hope the moisture situation changes --- had enough fires for awhile

3:13 pm

BabbleRabble

Hello, Christa -- first time I have seen a pig fly

3:14 pm

It will be a bad Summer, with El Nino they are predicting even worse than last year

hello all. is is worth starting this one? I am officially both unemployed AND on vacation from school now!

3:47 pm

Shivs Fitz

I'm nearly finished it so it wasn't too hard.

3:49 pm

stidmama

thanks Fitz. Or do you go by Shivs?

3:49 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid and Shivs. Stid, it's a nice grid.

3:50 pm

stidmama

thanks Jac. (((hugs))) how did school uniform shopping go the other day?

3:50 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya, I go by Shivs, it's the short nickname for my first name, Siobhán.

3:50 pm

Shivs Fitz

(Pronounced Shiv-ahn).

3:51 pm

Jacula

We went today in the end, stid. Couldn't get everything - the official outfitters haven't got a lot. *sighs*

3:51 pm

stidmama

thanks Shivs. nice to meet you. *shakes hand and offers choclits*

3:51 pm

stidmama

brb phone

3:51 pm

JBV

good afternoon, babblers - hi stid - haven't seen you for a while - we are are opposite ends - I am officially back to school - no vacation days left and the stress is on!

3:51 pm

Jacula

FIREWORKS!:-)

3:52 pm

Shivs Fitz

Same to you, stidmama and thanks for the chocolate!

3:52 pm

JBV

congrats, Jacula!

3:53 pm

Shivs Fitz

Fireworks here too!

3:53 pm

Shivs Fitz

My second puzzle completed!

3:55 pm

JBV

congrats, Shivs!

3:56 pm

Shivs Fitz

Thanks, JBV.

4:01 pm

stidmama

YAY Shivs!

4:01 pm

stidmama

YAY Jacula!

4:01 pm

stidmama

hey JBV! (((lots of hugs))) my kids are back in school in a week and a half.

4:01 pm

stidmama

Our schools start late on the West coast.

4:03 pm

JBV

kids start here on Sept. 8, but teachers come back on Tuesday. Monday I'm in an all day meeting so I had to get everything totally ready before leaving the office today. - so now I am here to relax and babble

4:04 pm

stidmama

oh -- of course, the "week before" -- in another two years, I hope to have that week or two before, setting up the classroom, making a month's worth of worksheets, putting names on desks... *slips into reverie*

4:05 pm

Shivs Fitz

Thanks, stidmama.

4:05 pm

JBV

soon enough, stid, it will happen...

4:06 pm

Shivs Fitz

You're going to be a teacher, stidmama?

4:06 pm

JBV

by the way, everything does not have to be 100% ready on the first day, depending on the grade, the students also can have a role in deciding how to organize and set up the room

4:06 pm

stidmama

yep. and then I will be dreaming of those glorious, carefree, grad-school days! LOL

4:06 pm

stidmama

eventually, Shivs. I took time out to rear kids and now back to school.

4:07 pm

dcseain

here in VA, by law, schools start the tuesday after the 1st monday in September. Hi and bye, folks {poof}

4:07 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya and bye Seain.

4:07 pm

stidmama

((((SEAIN)))) *waves bye bye*

4:07 pm

JBV

who was that masked man? a cloud of dust, and a hearty poof!

4:08 pm

stidmama

LOL that seain... he's here, he's there, that DC seain is everywhere!

4:08 pm

Shivs Fitz

I see, stid...wish I had been able to do that. We divorced so I have still had to keep working. Expensive living here.

4:10 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear that, Shivs. I know that I wouldn't be able to go back to school to get certification without a lot of help (from my now-retired mother, my spouse, our friends).

4:10 pm

JBV

it is a great privilege to study and not work at the same time - I thank my husband all the time for the 4 years (!) he mostly supported me in grad school - of course I had a baby in the middle of that time

4:12 pm

stidmama

I tried taking just one (1) class between my two babies (they were 26 months apart) and the mama hormones turned my brain to mush so I had to wait until they had grown a bit more. *grin* and now they tower over me!

4:12 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes I have help from my mum while I'm working, stid. I've moved with the kids back into our family home and she minds them when they're here and I'm at work...which she doesn't mind at all.

4:13 pm

stidmama

that is good, Shivs. We live fairly close to my mother, and it has been wonderful to have the kids grow up knowing their grandparents. I never had the chance, myself.

4:13 pm

JBV

[hugs to families who help and support each other]

4:13 pm

Shivs Fitz

Mine are too young to tower over me yet a while! They will though because I'm not very tall, LOL.

4:14 pm

stidmama

*mushy hugs for everyone!*

4:14 pm

stidmama

well, don

4:15 pm

stidmama

argh. figner glitch. don't be too worried about going back to school someday Shivs... going back at mid-life and being an older student has been a wonderful experience for me.

4:15 pm

Shivs Fitz

I didn't have the chance to know my grandparents as I would have liked, with them all being in Ireland. My parents each moved here to London from Dublin and Thurles before they met.

4:15 pm

JBV

yes, school is wasted on the young, right stid? the older we get the more we appreciate it

4:16 pm

Shivs Fitz

So true, JBV...so true.

4:17 pm

Shivs Fitz

I don't see myself going back to school stid, as I finished all that years ago. I think about taking a course or two at some point though.

4:18 pm

torgone

Heyas ladies ..

4:18 pm

stidmama

that's what I thought, too, Shivs! LOL

4:18 pm

stidmama

TOR!!! yer in the grid, ye OLD pirate!~ ARRRRR

4:18 pm

Shivs Fitz

And you ended up full time?

4:18 pm

stidmama

so, I need the C and the O in the upper right corner to have NBT... any help out there?

4:18 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya torgone.

4:19 pm

torgone

Arrr

4:19 pm

JBV

c + add number after 9 + the standard robot ending

4:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

The c is a strange word. Has a robotic ending.

4:19 pm

torgone

od8/50 & 9/66

4:19 pm

stidmama

yes, decided that a master's in teaching paid better than simple certification, so spent the last year getting prereqs (my bachelor's didn't cover all the bases), and the Master's program starts in one month from tomorrow.

4:20 pm

Shivs Fitz

Thinking of Data.

4:20 pm

stidmama

eeek! really TOR???? *faints*

4:20 pm

stidmama

thanks for the C!

4:20 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes stid, but those aren't too bad (the o words).

4:20 pm

torgone

Think of teeth straightening and the robot ending ..

4:21 pm

Shivs Fitz

They have the same ending as the c word.

4:21 pm

stidmama

LOL got the Os -- like robot dinosaurs!

4:21 pm

JBV

fireworks!

4:21 pm

Shivs Fitz

WTG, JBV!

4:22 pm

stidmama

YAY JBV!!!!

4:22 pm

torgone

Yay JBV!

4:23 pm

Shivs Fitz

You have been busy, stid. That's a lot of work on top of keeping a household going.

4:23 pm

JBV

thanks, everyone - picked up a bunch of clues in the chat today

4:24 pm

stidmama

was just talking with my great-aunt today about that Shivs -- of course the kids do their own laundry and breakfasts now, and my darling Tom does most of the shopping and cooking.

6:28 pm

s,t,

6:29 pm

TraderKate

s, t, r, d are my new best friends....still don't like vowels much

6:29 pm

TraderKate

me too inge, but curiosity got the better of me...good thing i'm not a cat

6:30 pm

inge

certain vowel words are so common I guess them right away

6:30 pm

TraderKate

they give me grief

6:31 pm

inge

I have good and and bad days. Some days any letter will make it hard for me

6:33 pm

BabbleRabble

some days, I can't find a tree in a forest

6:33 pm

TraderKate

a few days back - when we had all those vowels in grid - went to see what lexulous was all about....played a few games by myself. then got a rack containing all vowels. 4xi, 2xu, and 1xa....at that point i just threw up my hands in disgust...will never go there again....wicked little game!

6:34 pm

TraderKate

was up far too late trying to finish last night - was babble-blind by the time i finally threw in the towel

6:35 pm

inge

I do babble and sudoku straight out of bed and breakfast.

6:35 pm

TraderKate

there is no tree in "forest" BR

6:36 pm

BabbleRabble

makes finding one even more difficult

6:37 pm

TraderKate

have seen you signed in at sudoku, i usually go after 3rd circle of babble-hell completed

6:38 pm

inge

I caught up on sudoku about 15 months ago, Now I am an elite, I better stay there

6:40 pm

TraderKate

forest contains: a shop, a golfer's cry, a craggy hill-top, learning by repetition(s), a break, a stronghold, good grief there's lots in there...

6:40 pm

inge

In Sudoku, when you pay your dues, you can access the archives and finsih previsou puzzles at leisure

6:40 pm

TraderKate

do you find it difficult doing on computer, rather than paper? am finding it more difficult...

6:42 pm

TraderKate

am watching all my pennies right now...and have no honour of title to defend...besides am wasting too much time on-line as is...sigh

6:42 pm

inge

I never got used to the paper solving. When you calll up the green numbers, they are relatiely easy

6:44 pm

TraderKate

perhaps if lines between 9-squares were bolder i would find it easier...this is where i often have to look twice before entering a number

6:46 pm

TraderKate

the greens do make it simpler, but you can do it on paper too

6:47 pm

TraderKate

do you play krkuro or ken ken?

6:47 pm

TraderKate

No, no other games currently. Actually sudoku numbers and lines are the last thing I can see well.

7:00 pm

TraderKate

it's really quite quick, all those lovely s,t,r,d's....

7:01 pm

nrkii

red, the list is helping me a lot... most of the words I missed aren't tough, I just missed them

7:01 pm

TraderKate

don't be a hero red, go for it...

7:01 pm

redturtlehead

I dont like going between the two screens, I'm never a hero, I mean, i go to bed at 9 pm!!!

7:01 pm

TraderKate

is it a point of honour not to list until absolutely necessary

7:02 pm

redturtlehead

some people work the grid from the start with the list, I think. I just get frustrated with multiple screens

7:02 pm

nrkii

do you keep them open side by side red?

7:02 pm

TraderKate

i don't like the toing and froeing either...guess you don't have expert either?

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

Sort of nrkii, but they dont wrok that way.

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

kate I had expert but didnt want to put more stuff on the computer.

7:03 pm

nrkii

once I open the list, I keep the list on the left, an very narrow, and the grid on the right, just next to the list

7:04 pm

TraderKate

babble expert supposed to enter in both lists at once, no?

7:04 pm

Sudokuaddict

yes expert is great

7:04 pm

TraderKate

does it use a lot of memoryspace red?

7:04 pm

redturtlehead

I doubt it, but I have a lot of photo stuff on the hard drive, so I try to keep it relatively empty.

7:05 pm

nrkii

but I try not to open the list till I get down to no more than 2 missing per tile, or 90% done, if possible

7:05 pm

nrkii

because otherwise the list does confuse me

7:05 pm

TraderKate

have requested it but no response so far...

7:06 pm

TraderKate

you are a glutton for punishment nrk!

7:06 pm

nrkii

and I go through each tile one by one till I'm only missing max 2 in each... if I work across the whole board at once, I end up typing in the same words over and over and over and over

7:07 pm

redturtlehead

nrkii, its much better that way then the list is very helpful, with 81 left now I am with you the list conduses me.

7:07 pm

TraderKate

so methodical. someone earlier said they work the columns one by one until obliterated

7:08 pm

redturtlehead

I am not obsessive, as was established earlier, so I just enter them as I sees them.

7:08 pm

TraderKate

like to trawl for the easy fish that jump right out at me. then worry about elusive prey

7:09 pm

nrkii

I'm OCD enough that I really feel compelled to start at the top left and move methodically down, then across...

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

TraderKate, I just had a flash of enlightenment! Did you put Babble in the box so his spam filter knows it is real? Perhaps you should try again making sure Babble is the subject.

7:21 pm

TraderKate

just checked put "babble expert request" as subject

7:21 pm

Bugsaw

Hmm, Then just try again so he knows you are serioius. I would

7:22 pm

TraderKate

understand whoever does this has been busy visiting (sick?) father a lot.

7:22 pm

BabbleRabble

still think you should ask someone with babble expert to send it to you

7:22 pm

TraderKate

will re-send now.

7:22 pm

redturtlehead

7:23 pm

TraderKate

TraderKate

7:42 pm

lbdawger

7:42 pm

TraderKate

7:47 pm

TraderKate

easier to muster enthusiasm when chat is not going at light speed

7:48 pm

J. C.

Yes, lbdawger - it was better than a lot of them. :)

J. C.

Good very early morning, Minveryork - and why so blue? :/

7:49 pm

lbdawger

Hello Min! welcome to the grid, how are you this evening?

7:49 pm

TraderKate

7:49 pm

zoozzoom

Hello Minveryork, hope you are well.

7:50 pm

lbdawger

doing well, Min. a bit on the warm side, but it's a lovely day here.

7:50 pm

lbdawger

cute icon clue, Min

7:51 pm

TraderKate

i'm living on the wrong coast this summer. no warmth here

7:51 pm

J. C.

It is, lbdawger? Hmmm . . . what am I missing?

7:51 pm

Minveryork

I am not blue J.C.That is just my icon clue & I picked blue because that is my favorite color. Read profile.

7:51 pm

TraderKate

thought it meant navy...then realized that was yesterday

7:51 pm

J. C.

Oh yes, I see now . . . ;)

7:52 pm

TraderKate

you're all very BLUE

7:52 pm

J. C.

It isn't navy blue though, Kate . . .

7:52 pm

J. C.

Who is very blue, Kate?

7:52 pm

TraderKate

true, but couldn't see the meaning

7:53 pm

lbdawger

argh, neighborhood is mowing their lawns...aaachhoooo

7:53 pm

Minveryork

TraderKate, is your husband TraderJoe like the store

7:53 pm

TraderKate

you all are...are you familliar with TRUE COLORS? (PERSONALITY DIMENSIONS in canada)

7:54 pm

J. C.

Erm, no . . . can't say I am.

7:54 pm

lbdawger

is that like colour me beautiful?

7:54 pm

TraderKate

been asked that before, am not aware of any hiusband. joe or otherwise

7:54 pm

J. C.

And how would you know what colour any of us are, in relation to whatever that is - without knowing us?

7:55 pm

TraderKate

sort of meyers-briggs thing but much easier to remember and apply. quite illuminating

7:55 pm

lbdawger

back in an hour. Eureka is on soon

7:55 pm

TraderKate

by the way you all talk

7:55 pm

J. C.

Oh, so all of us who Babble here, all talk the same way?

7:56 pm

J. C.

Which you can't hear . . . ;)

7:56 pm

BabbleRabble

by looking at your icon or picture

7:56 pm

J. C.

I hope for their sake, the others here don't talk like me! :P

7:56 pm

TraderKate

at least the ones that chat are very blue...lurkerz are more likely green or gold. some chatters are orange

7:56 pm

J. C.

Or sakes, rather . . .

7:56 pm

J. C.

Hmmm . . . don't know anything about it?

7:56 pm

BabbleRabble

Haz told me the photographer shot me from a bad angle

7:57 pm

J. C.

I'm hiding behind my puppy in mine though, BR . . .

7:57 pm

J. C.

So perhaps I am more green, than blue? :P

7:58 pm

TraderKate

no blue is very social, conventional: family, friends very important. very caring concerned and co-operative. like groups, social situayions. supportive

7:58 pm

J. C.

I guess I would be blue, then . . .

7:58 pm

TraderKate

do not know if you are green or not...i am very green

7:59 pm

J. C.

Although I wouldn't say I'm 'conventional' by any means.

8:00 pm

TraderKate

not all apply to each...it's majority of characteristis

8:00 pm

J. C.

Yes, I see . . .

8:00 pm

TraderKate

dawg...you get eureka tonight? we don't (sad face)

8:01 pm

TraderKate

never tried to google, but you may want to try. i foound it very helpful for understanding my motivatiuons and especially hoe to deal with those that don't "think the same way as me"

8:02 pm

Jacula

Hello again everyone.

8:02 pm

TraderKate

JAC!

8:02 pm

Jacula

BR - I saw Haz say that. I think maybe you should have gone left side sacing for the shot. ;-)

8:03 pm

Jacula

Kate - just read what you said about colours (and probably auras). I know what you meant.

8:03 pm

BabbleRabble

I think a bag would be a definite improvement

8:03 pm

Jacula

You mean you want me to join you for the next photoshoot, BR?

8:04 pm

BabbleRabble

perhaps, perhaps

8:04 pm

TraderKate

glad i'm not speaking gibberish, jac. how's your day been?

8:04 pm

Jacula

(Well my 15-yr-old stepdaughter thinks I'm an old bag, a cool old bag, though. LOL)

TraderKate

TO, hi!

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:07 pm

Jacula

My day, Kate, has not been as productive as I'd hoped. Took 'Step' to the official outfitter for her school, found 9 people in front of us in a queue in a shop the size of a broom cupboard and also found that they've hardly got anything in. GRR. Also, the hourly bus was late arriving and it took us an hour to get into our nearest market town rather than (10 mins by car) or (20 mins by bus).

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am not gridding. i finished a while back.

8:07 pm

Jacula

I've finished the grid also. Can clue if needed.

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am actually looking at match mail from match.com

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations 72 Temple Owl on finishing early!YAY

8:08 pm

Shirlockc

8:08 pm

Jacula

BR - So, we might be a twosome for your next icon shot? I shall look forward to seeing that.

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jacula on early fireworks! Way to go

8:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

i find it overwhelming.

8:08 pm

TraderKate

so much agro: so little time jac. we can't be whirlwinds every day. somrtimes we have to let the wind blow us around a bit to remind us we don't controll everything

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Hello Shirlockc! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

8:09 pm

Shirlockc

overwhelming as in a deluge of mail?

8:09 pm

Shirlockc

that's a good thing!

8:09 pm

Jacula

Kate - did I see a chortle from you over the old bag thing> *Gives Kate a quick slap.*

8:11 pm

jaianniah

Well, she just...fits in! LOL!

8:12 pm

Jacula

8:12 pm

Jacula

8:13 pm

TraderKate

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

the number of emails. the thought of going thorugh them. the whole thought of dating actually.

8:13 pm

Jacula

'thee dogs'? Sounds Shaespearian or Holy. LOL

8:14 pm

Jacula

TO - Ah! I've obviously missed a bit here. Have you launched yourself on an internet dating site?

8:14 pm

Jacula

Where did my 'k' go in the post before last?

8:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:14 pm

jaianniah

8:15 pm

TraderKate

8:15 pm

Jacula

8:16 pm

jaianniah

You are welcome. Literally. I hope I did not embarass you, but you have brought much laughter and joy to the grid!

8:16 pm

TraderKate

but you promised to cook me a meal jac

8:16 pm

Jacula

I met my partner on the internet, but not on a dating si4/4. We just 'clicked' on a genral interest site not unlike this one.

8:17 pm

Jacula

Jacula

Jacula

Kate - if you have more than 10 toes you need to take more water with your next drink.

8:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

Jacula

Cats may be fastidious but they don't like us being more so...http://tinyurl.com/2tzmw9

8:26 pm

Jacula

How To Wash A Cat is the link I just posted and it's all true.

8:26 pm

TraderKate

they can be trained for toilet, but not to flush TO

8:27 pm

jaianniah

Yes...it involves some complicated persuasion and Saran Wrap.....sounds like a sex game, come to think of it....

8:28 pm

Jacula

suits, helmets, gauntlets, shredded plastic and towelling, quick moves.... LOL

8:28 pm

jaianniah

ROFL!

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

rather does sound like that

8:29 pm

Jacula

jaii - do you honestly think cling film (what we Brits call saran wrap) would hold a cat in for more than 10 seconds at the most?

8:29 pm

TraderKate

can't take the time to look now will see later.must pop out to store...bbs

8:29 pm

TraderKate

8:30 pm

Jacula

Speaking of daughters texting, I haven't heard a word from her since she went off to the Reading Music fest on Wednesday.

8:31 pm

Jacula

She's had good weather for 4 music fests this year, not sure if same's going to be true for the final one of the year.

8:31 pm

TraderKate

8:32 pm

TraderKate

ty all back in a while

8:32 pm

Jacula

Is that music fest advice or cat toilet training stuff, Kate? LOL

8:34 pm

Jacula

The girls in the tent next to my daugher, 2 years ago, had taken a bucket for hair-washing with them. They left it upturned outside their tent to dry and some drunken guy came along, turned it right way up and cr*pped in it.

8:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye! *poof*

8:34 pm

Jacula

They threw the bucket away and didn't bother washing their hair aftre that.

8:35 pm

Jacula

BRB - break for comfort and to sort cat out.

8:42 pm

Jacula

Everyone gone?

8:42 pm

chrisk

8:43 pm

8:44 pm

Jacula

However, it's not a grid word today.

8:45 pm

lil*monkey

Jac, I challenged you to Bowling Buds

8:46 pm

Jacula

If you're looking for 'o' words, there are boating words, porridge words, a solemn promise, toothlike words, a frequent word, a singlaur plural word, another about the tart of something and more.

8:47 pm

Jacula

Hi Monkey. Did you? I'm not FB until later. Will accept your challenge then.

8:47 pm

Jacula

I can't believe how sticky this old keyboard has got again in only a week. I think we need a new keyboard.

8:59 pm

torgone

Jac - You post the best music on FB ..

8:59 pm

Jacula

Whatyear areyou on re Corrie, jilli? I gave up watching about 5or 6 years ago, because, as I'vesaid before, Beloved used to ring in the hourof Emmerdale and Corrie.

9:00 pm

jillibus

9:00 pm

Jacula

Torg - why thanks! *smiles widely*

9:00 pm

9:07 pm

torgone

Fine .. In my own humble opinion .. All are free to disagree ..

9:07 pm

jillibus

Well, what's the next icon theme? Oh, I see -- your favourite word. Is that your just plain favourite word or your favourite Babble word? What do you think?

9:08 pm

Jacula

But I have 'an eclectic' taste in music, except ffor certain kinds of C&W, and whatever that Tom Jones/Frank Sinatra Vegas music is called,and Cleo Lane's jazz. Hate most of it,especialy Cloe's dooby doo stuff, but love Glenn Miller trad Jazz. CXan't stand rap/house/garge/ garden/paotio or whatever it's called - it makes me instantly want to murder someone. Oh, and why are those ipods with headphones calledd personal stereos? They all play them loud enough the hear the chunka chunka, plink, plink, but not quite loud enough to hear what the song is and each and every one of them will be deaf by the time they are my age.

9:08 pm

BabbleRabble

what a golfer shouts while driving, fo** + smile, you're on can*** camera

9:08 pm

jillibus

PLEASE, no more about music.

9:08 pm

kje

ty

9:09 pm

Jacula

Okay, jilli.

9:09 pm

jillibus

Except that Tom Jones and Frank Sinatra should not be linked together in any way.

9:10 pm

torgone

Whatever .. out

9:10 pm

Jacula

Is music like politics for you, jilli? I never discuss religion or politics with anyone but family if I can help it.

9:10 pm

jillibus

Not at all, jac. No more, please.

Torg - listen to my links, if I haven't deleted them on FB. I've had to do quite a bit of delating since my family clan moved onto FB.

Music has huge generation gaps -- let's leave it at that .

9:12 pm

Jacula

I actually loved Robbie Williams cd of lounge music.But I'll shut up now. LOL

9:13 pm

Jacula

jilli - one of my faves is the Glenn Miller Band. I want to dance every time I hear then and have done since I was about 3o or 4.

9:14 pm

jillibus

I loved Glenn Miller -- and Tommy Dorsey -- and Sinatra with his wonderful voice control and acting ability -- and now I have to go and get supper. Back later.

9:14 pm

Trifioso

hello babble friends!

Jacula

See you later, jilli. Enjoy your meal.

9:15 pm

Hi Trif.

That's the young Sinatra, when he sang with Dorsey...

9:16 pm

Jacula

Wasn't Tommy Dorsey Englebert Humperdinck's original name?

9:17 pm

Jacula

Theyound Sinatra, like the young Brando, was dark and sexy.

9:18 pm

Trifioso

extra treat - turns out a gallery was doing a large show of works by John Lennon, including several framed prints of hand-written lyrics to songs he wrote for the Beatles, and some of his solo work. Seeing "beautiful boy" the way he originally wrote it was quite touching

Hi Dawger- megadude is also logged in

9:21 pm

Jacula

Trif - I can imagine it would be. What I want to find in my attic, amongst the stuff my grandma saved, which I haven't yet fully explored, is George Harrison's original writing for either 'Something' or 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. I doubt it will happen though, all I will get is pics og him in nappies or toddling in a garden somewhere in Liverpool or Cheshire.

lets keep it in back of minds.....getting a gang together takes a bit of scheduling...so date should be decided while people have clear calendars...

10:20 pm

Trifioso

should you wake dogs when they are doing that?

10:20 pm

Jacula

Won't be in the Canada thing, though not inviteed anway. If I am over there I'kk either be in Calgary to see bro-inlaw or in Ontario or B,C, visiting relatives.

That's for tomorrow jillibus. Not tomorrow yet for me

10:25 pm

Jacula

He is her ex. dtid, but not mine re the males she has presented me with over the years. I still think he's thr right one for her, and so does my Other Half , and os does her brother.

10:25 pm

stidmama

gee whiz, tea -- how hard it must have been. I know the law enforcement folks are looking back now and finding all sorts of missed clues and opportunoities.

10:26 pm

Jacula

However, should she wnt to win him back sometime, she will have too work hard because she hyrt him a lot.

10:26 pm

Was the guy who seemed to belong to some personal religious sect of his own connected with that, or was it just a random snatching?

10:30 pm

WOW Atalante -- then you'll maybe actually have time to meet me! LOL *eyes boggle with the idea*

10:31 pm

10:31 pm

Atalante

I know!!!! It'll be much easier if Im there permanently. Ayla gets so "jealous" of her limited time with me that we hardly see *anyone* for the month. But if Im living there, I'm not going to go away, and we have *time* and time to go visit people!

10:31 pm

did i say something wrong to kate..have to scroll back....

10:33 pm

stid, I don't know from twitter -- should have known you would be up on all the latest

10:33 pm

Atalante

yes, Hobbit and Silverclaw :)

10:33 pm

crosshair

ahh ok,she is just having fun then:)

10:33 pm

stidmama

good. *nods head in satisfaction* in that case, just tell me when and I will show up with my minivan to haul boxes.

10:34 pm

jillibus

stid, I think you're right -- I'm the offensive one for trying to get her to go pro (again)

10:34 pm

Jacula

It's so easy to take offence on here, isn't it, like anywhere on the internet when faces and body language can't be seen, It works both ways, one person can just think they're being friendly and trying to connect and others can see it as stalking a la Mikey. I think that happened to J.. in some cases.

10:34 pm

jillibus

no, I think she's not kidding

10:34 pm

crosshair

see? i can get away with it..everyone know im offensive;)

10:34 pm

stidmama

I think she just misunderstood, Jill -- it'll be okay

10:34 pm

Jacula

J,C, I meant to say.

10:35 pm

stidmama

cross, dear -- you'll have to try a LOT harder to be offensive! how did your vacation go, anyway?

10:35 pm

crosshair

at least i dont think she took it to heart

10:35 pm

stidmama

you're so right, Jac

10:35 pm

crosshair

was waaay too short stid;((

10:35 pm

Atalante

I'm trying to decide which would be easiest - a 5 hour flight into NY / Boston with Hobbit and then driving her across the country (I hatethe idea of her being in the plane hold) or a 9 hour flight into Seatac, and then no driving. 5 hours just seems so much nicer for the animals

10:36 pm

stidmama

ATalante, it's a very LONG drive across country, though. Tranquilizers and a 9-hour flight might be preferable for you all...

10:36 pm

crosshair

drive/flight combo ata..no contest

10:36 pm

jillibus

ata, I don't think the time stretch will make a bit of difference to Hobbit

10:36 pm

Jacula

It's up to you., Ata. Guess you're leaving us to go to uSA then?

10:36 pm

Trifioso

ata, come to Boston! I will pick you up at the airport, and if you stay a day or two, you could meet a LOAD of babblers!!! And hobbit can romp and play on my beaches

10:36 pm

stidmama

As axed!!!! *jumps up and down excitedly*

10:37 pm

they won't tranq dogs now

lol and being able to meet babblers is an incentive too :P

10:37 pm

stidmama

ah, that is true -- Atalante could go across country meetingt babblers everywhere. Wouldn't have to buy food or pay for lodging... LOL

10:37 pm

10:42 pm

Atalante

poor puppy!

10:42 pm

Jacula

Can I ask you something Babbleers? I know 'Mikey from Germany' was a pain in the butt, but I don't think J.C. from Kent meant to be. He's gay and he's in showbiz, which often gives a look at me and listen to me style, but I don't think he meant to 'stalk' and I don't think he deserved the sarcasm. He's a newbie, 66 months or so, and needs to learn how our saracasm works. Belive me, he's the queen of the put down himse;f. Give him a chance.

10:43 pm

Trifioso

did he get blocked or something jacula?

10:43 pm

stidmama

did JC have a meltdown while I was out?

10:43 pm

jillibus

her owners DROVE her back to us and we replaced her. She was my little darling.

10:43 pm

he was plain rude and hurtful, not just sarcastic, to me and a good few others, jac

10:44 pm

poor little puppy.

10:44 pm

we are lucky here,we dont care bout sexual preferences anymore,everyone is equal in the eyes of the law..heck i think we had one guy marry his horse last year;) plus its all about ME:))

10:44 pm

OH! and I saw a BBC article, Jill that made me think of you instantly. Researchers have narrowed dog coat qualities down to just three genes for length, curl and texture!!!!

10:45 pm

stidmama

yes, cross. Canadians ARE lucky.

10:45 pm

10:47 pm

Minveryork

The de5/12 word is one who believes in god stidmama

10:47 pm

stidmama

no, because the U.S. doesn't recognize same-sex relationships. a few states do, but immigration is a federal policy

10:47 pm

ouich! wife saw that!]

10:47 pm

one who believes in a god

10:47 pm

We called her Sooty because she had such a rich black mask. The male in our house adored her and was very protective of her (at age 4 months) when she was almost on her deathbed. One of my happiest moments was when she had been in the living room, lying almost unconscious, and I was in the kitchen, and all of a sudden, the little thing tottered into the kitchen to see me.

10:47 pm

10:47 pm

i stumbled up on a same-sex wedding this weekend on a beach, and it was LOVELY. very romantic and all lovey dovey. the women looked so blissful. sigh

10:47 pm

Jacula

No, Trif - but some of my friends were not too impressed with him and it's them I am appealing to now.I have a gay friend, elsewhere who was once introduced to him and was glared at by himm but I know my friend ad can understand why that might have happened.

10:48 pm

Atalante

not that I want to move to the US to marry a same-sex partner, but I would feel very offended not to be able to do so

10:48 pm

stidmama

what a sweety pie, Jill. I bet she was gorgeous. All your dogs I have seen pics of were.

10:49 pm

sorry jac,beong serious,it matters not when a couple gets together as long as they unite in love and share each others lives to the exclusion of all others

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

Trifioso

I have had several pleasant chats with JC, so I have no grudge against him at all. I did notice, though, that he does seem to meet a lot of friction, here and on another site, apparently. He sent me a looong email detailing an altercation he had with some nutjob on another site, and apparently it got quite vicious against him.

10:50 pm

Atalante

I couldn't care who JC is, as long as he's polite and considerate. Except he's not. He's rude and stalkerish and unpleasant.

10:50 pm

Trifioso

what is considered stalkerish on here?

10:51 pm

stidmama

it really depends on the people, tri -- I like JC.

10:51 pm

Atalante

well for me and a friend it was constant emails off site and at other sites we go to, constant asking if we'd join in games with him on yahoo, and then informing him that his spy network monitors everything I say on babble and reports back to him

10:52 pm

crosshair

always remember ladies..and gents,if i offend in any way i want to know right away,cause im just enjoying myself on here and dont want to make anyone uncomfortable

10:52 pm

Jacula

ata - I don't think he means to be, though I've read back on the chogs he's sent me and I would have seen them that way to, had I not known him. Re the sites etc., ata, same for me, buthe's not a bad huy.

10:53 pm

Trifioso

wow, that would make me more than a tad uncomfortable too, ata. I actually have that problem, to a lesser degree, with an ex-babbler on FB

10:53 pm

stidmama

10:53 pm

yaa for stid!!

10:53 pm

Atalante

he's been utterly vicious to me on here. read those chat logs!

10:53 pm

Minveryork

He doesn't need any reporters.He can just go to the archives. Not so good to talk about people here then

10:53 pm

jillibus

stid -- little Sooty had eplieptic seizures the vet attributed to all the stress she had been through, so we had her spayed and she died on the table. Some time after that, I went to Memphis to do a breeding, and went with the stud owner and friends to a piano bar. The pianist played " Tiny Bubbles" and I dissolved into tears. Nobody knew why.

10:54 pm

is the fi 7 fishy?

atalante, I am sorry you had that problem with JC.

10:54 pm

in a similar, but sort of unrelated vein - I friended a bunch of babblers on FB, and, to be honest, I can't remember who a lot of them are! I can't match their real names to their babble names...so so so embarrassing!

10:55 pm

Minveryork

The fi 7/44 word includes the de 5/12 word stidmama

10:55 pm

Jacula

AAAAAAAall I can tell him, which I will later is that anything that gets typed in the chog her stays here and so anyoneand everyone can read it.

10:55 pm

I've told JC that I will not fall out with my Babble friends over him but I just wanted to put his case to you before I put it to him.

10:56 pm

I can't say that I have ever had a problem with JC -- he is always perfectly nice to me, and vice versa, but I am so sorry to hear that you and he had stress, Ata.....

Trif - I'm surehe knows that, but all I can say, and he'll read this too, and maybe have a fit, is that gay men often seem to throw their dummy out of the pram far quicker than women do. And they can be more bitchy. Far more bitchy! The worst inssults i@ve ever had have been from gay male friends who then rescind.

Trifioso

turns out that last weekend my wasband had a house-warming party at his new house - the one he bought behind my back with the money in our brokerage account. And who all went to this party? All the women I go to breakfast with on Tuesday mornings, for starters, along with their husbands (who he is friends with) and their children. And my next door neighbor, and her boyfriend. Basically, the women I *thought* were my support system. At his house. And, yes, they know exactly the circumstances by which he bought the house.

11:05 pm

crossy hates reality shows..if i want reality when im at home,ill open a window;))

Ata - you do knnow I'm a surviving twin?

11:06 pm

stidmama

oh golly, tri. that is horrible.

11:06 pm

Trifioso

So - do I cut them off, knowing that they are apparently quite content to still socialize with him, knowing how he has treated me and my children, or do I allow them to be Switzerland, and say nothing?

11:06 pm

stidmama

((many hugs for tri))

11:06 pm

oooo really?

let them know you are hurt, but give them a chance, tri -- it may be that there is more than a simple answer to this one.

11:07 pm

Jacula

BR - can I shoot you or should I beat your with a leather whip or a cat o' nine tails?

11:07 pm

Trifioso

they claim they don't want to take si5. but I say choosing not to choose is a choice. and they have chosen him, apparently.

11:07 pm

jillibus

poor trif -- what a shabby thing to do

11:07 pm

Atalante

they could be double agents and checking up on him

11:07 pm

jillibus

let's hope, ata

11:07 pm

Trifioso

no such luck, ata. Of course, he interprets their presence as acceptance and permission for what he has done.

11:08 pm

NonnieLight

Oh, trif...I'm sorry your friends were so thoughtless.

11:08 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks, jillibus.

11:08 pm

sorry trif,bad time for me being goofy:/

11:08 pm

11:08 pm

Jacula

Trif - if they are female, they know what's in your hhead abd therefore you should cut them out of your life without thought.

11:08 pm

Atalante

*sigh*

11:08 pm

Trifioso

it's one thing to not want to keep inviting him to stuff at their house. But to go to a party, CELEBRATING his new house? That feels like they have crossed a line, somehow

11:09 pm

Atalante

absolutely

11:09 pm

Trifioso

but am I cutting off my nose to spite my face, cutting myself off from them? they will carry on, and I will be the one left out.

11:10 pm

Jacula

Ata - you are where I was 14 years ago and I havn't forgotten how it feels.

11:10 pm

jillibus

That's the bitter pill, trif

11:10 pm

Atalante

*hugs Jac*

11:10 pm

stidmama

do you think of these people as close friends, tri -- or "social friends?" If you wouldn't miss them if they disappeared, I wouldn't worry about what they do... if they are close friends and you would miss them, I would tell them how you feel.

11:11 pm

NonnieLight

Trif, as time goes by, you'll probably find that you and the old friends will drift apart but you'll make new friends and hopefully you'll be in a better place.

11:11 pm

Jacula

Trif - if they want to still flirt with our huuby, they are NOT your friends. Hard to go it alone I know, but you must do it.

11:11 pm

BabbleRabble

Left out of what? A confidant who betrays me is not a friend of mine.

11:11 pm

Trifioso

one of them is one of my best friends. and my neighbor and I are very, very close. they don't want to flirt with him, I assure you. They just want to act like everything is the same.....

11:11 pm

jillibus

Gently leaving this scene...

11:12 pm

NonnieLight

If their husbands are still friends with your ex, the women probably felt torn between friendship and duty, perhaps???

11:13 pm

Jacula

Iunderstand,jilli. Sorry about al the vreakups and rock musics, but that's the way it is sometimees, as I'm sure you know.xx

11:13 pm

Trifioso

sorry jilli - didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. At the end of the day, what these women are doing is going along w ith their husbands. the women themselves are not friends with him, per se. But the husbands are, which is the crux of the problem

11:13 pm

stidmama

Nonnie may have something there.

11:13 pm

Trifioso

I will leave it now jilli - don't want you to have to leave!

I did a stupid thing today...my curling iron (on the highest setting) slipped out of my grip. Of course the rod landed on my forehead and burnt that. Natural reflex had me trying to catch the blasted thing so the rod landed on my forearm. Without being able to see where the darn thing was, I grabbed at it and of course caught the hot rod, bare handed. I was worn to a frazzle!

11:17 pm

no guilt over jill, tri -- she is a strong, smart, capable woman who has been through this with her friends many times I am sure
