1:38 am

sprite

he wasn't very nice, but I think he knows what he is doing. He didn't say much, only ordered a couple of ... (cannot remember the word, researches?). Must be back next week to have him look at my nerves and veins. New Xrays were taken. Back to him on dec 7 and probably he will have something to say th4.

1:38 am

BabbleRabble

that is a heat wave

1:38 am

sprite

hi rosebud :)

1:39 am

rufiem

grannyrose

* sigh * a long wait, th4?

1:39 am

rbud

hi, sprite!

1:40 am

sprite

yeah, but at least he is thorough. Was so glad my love went with me. The Xrays were faulty 3 times! Had to restrip and redress every time, and I was already panicking after the hardhanded doctor.

1:41 am

jillibus

hi sprite! Just got back from a wander and saw your most interesting icon and story -- thanks!

1:41 am

sprite

I came home, overate/binched, th4 went to bed and slept for hours. But I must say, compared to say a year ago, I seem to be recuperate faster!

1:41 am

jillibus

sorry your experience with the neuroligist was such unfun :(

1:42 am

jillibus

neurologist

1:42 am

sprite

hi jilli *hug* and thanks. Did not want to turn away from the remembrance, for I do remember. But it is an interesting tradition, Sint Maarten.

1:42 am

jillibus

binched?

1:42 am

sprite

binch eating?

1:43 am

jillibus

new word to me ;)

1:43 am

BabbleRabble

binge

1:43 am

sprite

maybe I am spelling it wrong!

1:43 am

jillibus

ah, yes, babrab -- hi

1:44 am

sprite

ah see, I am. Thanks BabbleRabble. Binge eating. Where some silly sprite cannot get her feet back on the floor and thinks overeating will solve it.

1:45 am

rbud

((((spritey))))

1:45 am

sprite

but anyway, it did help me to get to sleep and I do feel better. Maybe next time I can do it without the binging.

1:45 am

sprite

aw thanks rosebud :)

1:46 am

grannyrose

sometimes binging is a good way to go. did that yself today, ate a whole bar of lindt choc on my own...was seriously yummy!

1:46 am

rufiem

one t5 and one t4 left for fireworks...any clues please...

1:47 am

jillibus

I would spell it "bingeing". "Binging" would be like "singing", perhaps? English is such a tangled language . . .

hm, should have changed my icon, but it makes me think of my brother, a vet - and an ongoing sad story.

1:48 am

jillibus

sad story, rbud?

1:49 am

HouseOfCats

both "binging" and "bingeing" are correct. english is not sensible, sorry.

1:49 am

sprite

I would say you are right, jilli. Bingeing it is! And yes, I agree, rose, sometimes it does help. But I am still trying to learn better ways to get back to myself. But at least I can accept that doing the old thing is part of learning a new way ;)

1:49 am

sprite

what story, rosebud? If you want to share, that is?

1:49 am

sprite

thanks House

1:51 am

rbud

he was in the Navy, and is now blind and nearly paralyzed, and as the story comes out, it's from radiation from the nuclear sub he was on. So sad, he was a very talented dancer

1:52 am

jillibus

I know, House -- my Czech bro-in-law used to pronounce "finger" like "singer" . . .

1:52 am

jillibus

omg, rbud!

1:52 am

sprite

that is so sad, rosebud. I am so sorry!

1:52 am

grannyrose

1:52 am

HouseOfCats

rbud, D:

1:53 am

rbud

there are over a hundred other people in the same condition, more or less, and they were all on that same sub at one time or another.

1:53 am

rbud

the Navy's not too forthcoming about it, of course.

1:53 am

sprite

war has so much more victims than we know.

1:53 am

jillibus

we don't hear about things like that, rbud :(

1:55 am

rbud

he still has his wife call us and tells us jokes. he refuses to be too down about it, just deals with it day by day.

1:55 am

sprite

that is heroism

1:55 am

grannyrose

what a man!! he must be a great guy.

1:55 am

jillibus

Good for him -- it guess it's the only way to go

2:03 am

sprite, jilli, rufi is referring to the t tile which has 9 words fr4 it

2:03 am

but if you would use lickety, it would sharply reduce the amount of clues you would need from the chat, rufiem.

2:04 am

Trifioso

I haven't found it on youtube or anything, its such a bummer. might only exist in audio

8:26 am

Trifioso

and I don't need anymore clues, but I could use a head of lettuce, while you are out. :)

8:26 am

Anniebrook

*puts head of lettuce on shopping list for Trif*

8:27 am

Anniebrook

I am going to try to find a CD of Ms. Daly's.

8:27 am

Trifioso

8:28 am

Anniebrook

okay, Im on my way. Bye.

8:28 am

Trifioso

I think the song I mentioned is originally fr4"on the town", but it may also be from a concert cast of something

8:28 am

Trifioso

bye!

8:30 am

Michnick

Can anyone help with a clue for the s in the corner. I have the si 5 that has a lot of wholes in it.

8:35 am

Michnick

Contemplating consulting the list.....(down to 13)

8:35 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:35 am

jmcnrick

rats it is a holiday and I have lots of time

8:35 am

Michnick

Howdy jmc

8:36 am

jmcnrick

what song Trif?

8:37 am

Michnick

Hmm, I think I missed the fish?

8:37 am

jmcnrick

8:38 am

jmcnrick

*taps on screen*

8:41 am

Trifioso

what song what, jmc???

8:42 am

Trifioso

ohhh - the ty4 daly one? "I can cook too" - LOVE her version!

8:42 am

Michnick

You posted earlier, jmc, that you saw a fish in the grid. I don't think I've found it.

8:42 am

Trifioso

"fish" is a babble term, mich - means a word you should have seen, but didn't. "hit me with a fish" sort of thing

8:42 am

Michnick

the ty4 is a fish? (I am SOOOOOO confused).

8:43 am

Michnick

(down to 11)

8:43 am

jmcnrick

wasn't me mich i just got here

8:43 am

Michnick

Gosh, I've been here for over a year. Think I would've gotten it by now. At least now I know what people are doing when they are 'monkeying'.

8:44 am

Michnick

Sorry, jmc, it was you - trif. And now I have it.

8:44 am

jmcnrick

yes trif that's the one

8:44 am

Trifioso

LOL - I took a while to catch on to the fish thing too - I kept looking for bass, halibut, you name it!

8:44 am

jmcnrick

lol mich jargon always takes a while

8:45 am

Judi

Okay. Down to 6. Damn small grids.

8:45 am

Michnick

LOL. I can be slow sometimes.

8:45 am

Trifioso

is the ev 7 a compound?

8:45 am

jmcnrick

there are periods when people say *slap my with a fish* and someone would so I caught on to that one pretty quick

8:45 am

jmcnrick

hi judi

8:45 am

jmcnrick

I am bummed by the small grid too since I have lots of time today

8:45 am

Judi

No, trif. Ev7: One who is tossed out by the landlord.

8:46 am

Trifioso

a fish tossed out by a landlord!

8:46 am

Michnick

I guess I missed that slang. I miss out on Americanisms since I am living abroad, and I miss Hebrew expressions because it is still only my 2nd language.

8:46 am

jmcnrick

so mich you know the pb (with cabana boys) babblet and nbt right?

8:46 am

jmcnrick

that is not an Americanism but a Babblism

8:47 am

jmcnrick

ty trif!

8:47 am

jmcnrick

sorry ty judi!!

8:47 am

Trifioso

8:48 am

jmcnrick

go trif go

8:49 am

Trifioso

are all the h words he?

8:49 am

jmcnrick

8:50 am

Trifioso

:p

8:51 am

Judi

*Happy Dance* Fireworks!!!

8:52 am

Judi

There is one hy4, Trif.

8:52 am

jmcnrick

8:53 am

jmcnrick

go trif go!

8:53 am

Michnick

Sorry, got called away. Thank Gd I did too, I am supposed to give a talk at the university tomorrow and I had thought it was next Thursday!!

8:54 am

jmcnrick

whew I finally monkeyed the hy4!

8:55 am

jmcnrick

oopsy mich! that could have been embarrassing

8:55 am

welki

hello babblers

8:55 am

jmcnrick

hi welki

8:56 am

Trifioso

wow, that was a close one, mich!

8:56 am

Trifioso

morning welki

8:56 am

Michnick

You said it, jmc!

8:56 am

Trifioso

just took the cinnamon rolls out of the oven - anyone want me to upload one?

8:57 am

jmcnrick

yum! it will go well with my coffee

8:57 am

Michnick

I buy a calander every year but I always forget to write in appointments if people contact me at home. The downside of cell phones is that people expect you to be available when it works for them and not when you are at work.

8:57 am

Michnick

Oh well. pass the cinnamon rolls.

8:58 am

Michnick

Do you use a yeast dough trif?

8:58 am

Trifioso

i cheated, mich - pillsbury

8:58 am

jmcnrick

i use google calendar so it doesn't matter if i am home or on the road

8:59 am

jmcnrick

i love pillsbury cinnamon rolls they are my christmas morning treat

8:59 am

Michnick

My cell phone is just a phone so that wouldn't work for me.

8:59 am

jmcnrick

i mean i use it on my lap top not my cell phone so much

9:00 am

Michnick

When my sister wanted to sell her house, she made cinnamon rolls every time they had a showing. The house never sold and my bro-in-law gained 50lbs!!

9:00 am

jmcnrick

then each month i transfer the appointments to the home and work calendars

9:00 am

Michnick

Good idea, jmc, I'll have to get into the habit.

9:00 am

jmcnrick

*giggle* that staging stuff has gotten out of hand

9:01 am

Michnick

You said it. I'd just take out my boys' smelly shoes, wash the bathrooms and hope for the best.

9:01 am

harpjane

good morning

9:02 am

jmcnrick

hi harp

9:02 am

welki

9:06 am

jmcnrick

9:06 am

welki

*sigh* good thoughts your way, je

9:07 am

Trifioso

please - I would probably just wipe the lipstick off the milk and hope for the best! I think staging is so silly.

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

trif, cinnamon rolls sound yummy! I've got brownies in the oven, to go with the giant pot of chili for a bday lunch for a best buddy on Friday :-)

9:10 am

jmcnrick

9:11 am

jmcnrick

9:11 am

harpjane

get help jmc....clearly a deep seated fear of northerners!

9:11 am

jmcnrick

lots more hugs in babble land than real life

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

jmc, you would REALLY cast a suspicious eye at MY chili -- it's vegetarian!! But FYI everyone always slurps it up! LOL

9:12 am

jmcnrick

Uneaixoise

WOW!!! Julien Bennetteau just beat Roger Federer in the early rounds of the French tournament -- unbelievable!!!!!!!!!1

4:22 pm

Uneaixoise

i'm in total shock!!

4:22 pm

Dorens

sorry, une, I don't know enough about tennis.. I do know Federer (the whole world does), but who is Julien?

4:23 pm

Uneaixoise

Federer is no. 1 IN THE WORLD

4:23 pm

Uneaixoise

Julien is a 27-yr-old French player -- don't know his ranking but not in a million years did anyone think he could pull this off!

4:24 pm

Dorens

pretty impressive.. either he's fabulous or it was just great luck

4:24 pm

Uneaixoise

it was so sweet -- when he hit the winning shot, he just sobbed uncontrollably

4:24 pm

Uneaixoise

maybe Fed's distracted by his little twin babies LOL

4:25 pm

Dorens

i suppose that could do it. was he playing way off his regular game?

4:25 pm

Uneaixoise

well, he wasn't playing as well as usual but also, Julien was playing extremely well

4:26 pm

Uneaixoise

Of course, it helps that he's French and the match was in Paris

4:26 pm

Dorens

well lucky julien then

4:27 pm

Uneaixoise

i'm just speechless -- I'm sure TONS of tennis fans are totally stunned as well

4:28 pm

Uneaixoise

Earlier today Rafa nearly lost as well but he was able to pull it out -- jeez, this is just "early rounds"

MissOmnibus

im on my first holiday overseas atm, and we are so loud and outspoken - even without being crass compared to our New Zealand counterparts

10:56 pm

jillibus

arsed = axed? I don't think so. Asked = axed in ebonics, no?

10:56 pm

Jacula

iN MY EEXPERIENCE, mp, IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO ORIGINATE FFROM frica who say axed instead of 'asked'.

10:56 pm

MissOmnibus

I'm a first gen aussie - my parents came from england and south africa...

11:02 pm

MPittore

yes jilli that's what they call it here...I think only the younger set use it--kinda developed in the streets in the 'hood' it's not exactly slang though more of mispronounciations being passed down and teachers not being allowed to do there jobs as in the past. being told just pass kids thru to the next grade...when i worked I was appalled at the kids i interviewed...they couldn't even write a decent sentence...my secretary once corrected my memo from you to yous (or something like that)...she said i was wrong because spellcheck said so...*smile*

stidmama

11:37 pm

Pinikula

11:37 pm

stidmama

nice to finish a grid on a day I thought I wouldn't play at all.

11:37 pm

jillibus

YAY stid!!!

11:37 pm

Pinikula

I was thinking that, too, stid...glad you could make it!

11:38 pm

MPittore

well congrats stid...fantastic wasn't this a blast!

11:38 pm

jillibus

I thought it was a nice grid.

11:38 pm

stidmama

it was fun, MPittore!

11:38 pm

MPittore

i agree...nice

11:39 pm

stidmama

well, I have a few minutes left on my timer, but want to have a better handle on the paper before I turn in tonight. I refuse to let my health suffer over a paper...

11:39 pm

Pinikula

it was finishable without a lot of pain!

11:39 pm

stidmama

even though it won't be what I want.

11:39 pm

jillibus

Next one will be a tough monster because I won't have time for it -- people coming for dessert and coffee and bridge in the evening

11:39 pm

stidmama

don't you hate when that happens jill!

11:40 pm

Pinikula

isn't that always the case, jilli?

11:40 pm

jillibus

You want super-perfection as usual, I suppose, eh, stid?

11:40 pm

stidmama

like the audacity of the torch coming to the island when you had a bridge game. VERY poor timing on their part, I must say!

11:40 pm

jillibus

I know -- tsk tsk

11:41 pm

Pinikula

what's worse, stid, is that they didn't even bother to check with jilli to see if she could carry it for even a moment!

11:41 pm

MPittore

yep pini...no additional wrinkles in my brow on this one...a few anxious moments at the end but "I get by with a little help from my friends" hmmm sounds like a song...giggle my elmo!

11:41 pm

jillibus

I got roped in to more bridge than usual this season and am regretting it.

11:41 pm

Pinikula

ROFL

11:41 pm

stidmama

I DO want super-perfection, Jill! the problem is, this is a synthesis paper for the entire quarter, supposedly based on the short weekly papers. However, my weekly papers were... WEAKly written and pure dreck. So I have scrapped most of that material and now trying to synthesize and pull things in better.

11:42 pm

jillibus

That will probably work perfectly, stid.

11:42 pm

stidmama

I know pretty well what I WANT to say, it's just finding the way to express it AND support my assertions with appropriate citations.

11:42 pm

MPittore

brb...

11:43 pm

Pinikula

kinda like writing a legal paper with case references...can be frustrating at times...

11:43 pm

jillibus

I'm so glad all that is well behind me, stid!

11:43 pm

stidmama

how about this: explain your theories of teaching, learning and schooling and their implications for you as a teacher... *bummed out mama look*

"work in progress" will be the title of my paper!

11:43 pm

stidmama

so... reluctantly... allons-y!

11:43 pm

jillibus

That's probably the right theme for the whole thing.

11:43 pm

Pinikula

oh, stid....I still have all the faith in world in you...you can dooooo it!

11:44 pm

stidmama

I think that means let's go! (((hugs jill))) I am going to have something to turn in that is more than ten pages and hopefully not entirely rubbish.

11:44 pm

jillibus

Fare thee well, stid, and you eill.

11:44 pm

jillibus

Brevity is the soul of wit

11:44 pm

stidmama

*hugs and choclit for all* thanks for you support, ladies. You are GOOD friends! *poof*

11:44 pm

jillibus

*you will
