I've been watching it too, with disgust for Pat Robertson and that horrible Rush Limbaugh, plus disgust for the countries who are not helping, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.

1:17 am

Jellen

ha 6= coif

1:18 am

rururocks

1:19 am

Jellen

Thanks, jilli...was feeling a bit ignored...

1:20 am

jillibus

andree, they are rabid US commentators who hate Obama

1:20 am

Andree

do they have a following

1:20 am

Jellen

Now I must pop off to bed...we're leaving on another trip tomorrow...

1:20 am

Andree

i suppose the must have if they make the news

1:21 am

jillibus

Unfortunately, andree, a large following.

1:21 am

Jellen

Yes, Andree, they've been around a long time...

1:22 am

Andree

1:22 am

Andree

bye nan

1:22 am

Jellen

Thanks and *poof*

1:23 am

jillibus

Pat Robertson claimed that Haiti made a pact with the devil years ago when they rebelled against France, and that's why they've had troubles ever since. He's nuts.

1:23 am

jillibus

bye nan!

1:24 am

jillibus

bye jellen!

1:25 am

Andree

what a nutter and what rubbish, has he similar explanations for other disasters

1:26 am

jillibus

No idea -- I never listen to him. That crap was reported tonight on the news.

1:26 am

gremlinn

I think he blames hurricanes on the sins of the gays.

1:27 am

Andree

shame on the news channel

1:28 am

jillibus

How about Limbaugh trying to make Obama look bad being quick to respond to the tragedy -- throwing in remarks about "light-skinned an dark-skinned" people.

1:28 am

Andree

so hurricane katrina was !!!

1:28 am

jillibus

no, that news channel was disgusted too.

1:28 am

gremlinn

yeah, I think it was specifically Katrina

1:29 am

Andree

are you kidding gremlin

1:30 am

jillibus

there is so much craziness going on in the USA

1:30 am

gremlinn

nope, not kidding

1:30 am

Andree

a racist would hate obama

1:30 am

Andree

and he sounds like a racist

1:30 am

gremlinn

yeah, on YouTube videos that show crazy US politics, I always see comments like "you Americans are crazy!"

1:30 am

jillibus

absolutely

1:31 am

jillibus

The rest of the world loves Obama

1:31 am

Andree

we do often say mostly in jest"only in america"

1:32 am

Andree

but mostly in jest as most americans are lovely friendly people

1:32 am

gremlinn

they twist that to their advantage here sometimes, like "those terrorists sure love Obama...I wonder why?"

1:34 am

Andree

australians love obama, my son was in there when he was voted in and he says its a day and night he will never forget, he was so moved

1:34 am

gapeach1066@yaho

Down to two...aa4-5 and dr5-18 please. I'm falling asleep. Thanks

1:35 am

Andree

aa is an exclamation

1:35 am

jillibus

I wonder if bin Laden is rejoicing that thousands of "infidels" have been killed

1:35 am

Andree

probably

1:35 am

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks much, Andree.

1:35 am

Andree

1:36 am

6:27 am

EspritdJean

6:28 am

kje

6:28 am

EspritdJean

6:28 am

EspritdJean

and if you're gonna poof, open a window

6:28 am

kje

6:28 am

kje

6:29 am

kje

7 is a plural of the sh6

6:29 am

EspritdJean

;-p

6:29 am

EspritdJean

sorry to say I don't even have any 6's

6:29 am

zoe_girl

lol that was pretty funny... how is everyone this AM?

6:30 am

kje

there is no definition in enable, but it sounds like what you learned in kindergarten... not to be selfish

6:30 am

Jayk

Morning all. Stuck on the has. Clue for the last 4/5 and the 6/24 please?

6:31 am

kje

4/5 - look at your head, jayk

EspritdJean

6:34 am

kje

yes

6:34 am

kje

sh6 - s + hair covering + consonant

6:34 am

gramma

2 left sh's. Help,please.

6:34 am

6:34 am

Jayk

Ironic. S + what's on your head + consonant, plural

6:34 am

kje

6:35 am

kje

6:35 am

EspritdJean

made me think of broken pieces of glass or pottery

6:36 am

Anniebrook

thanks kje and hello everyone!

6:36 am

kje

yes, I thought it was a version of shard, but enable gives no definition

6:36 am

kje

hi annie!!!

6:36 am

Anniebrook

hi kje, hows it going in texas?

6:37 am

kje

goin well, annie - I planted herbs last night

6:37 am

kje

in pots in the spare bedroom

6:37 am

kje

basil, cilantro, thyme, chives, and marjoram

6:37 am

Anniebrook

Oh, that is lovely..You are giving me an idea. I might do the same.

6:38 am

kje

there is this seed place, annie, that sells disks of seeds, and one disk will fill out a 6 inch pot... very easy as the seeds are all spaced appropriately and such

6:38 am

kje

hold a sec

6:39 am

kje

http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-3-herb-se
eds.aspx

6:40 am

kje

they only have the disks in a handful of species, but then I bought about 20 other types of herbs which I will start in cups this weekend

6:40 am

kje

I should be able to transplant them outside in about 6 weeks (first couple weeks of March)

6:41 am

Anniebrook

kje, I just copied down the link and will get some discs later. You give good ideas. Coffee and now herbs.

6:42 am

kje

they are good because they will tell you which will grow in pots and which will not, and if you call, they have very friendly people there who will help you

6:43 am

kje

do you have a balcony or anywhere where you can stick stuff outside, annie?

6:43 am

Anniebrook

Thanks for the info. I planted some lavender in the livingroom a while back. I would love to get some thyme, oregano, rosemary.

I do have a balcony but it is quite windy up here. I might be able to hide them in a corner tho but I would ask advice from the friendly folks. Oh what great ideas you have. I once bought herbs at Home Depot and put them aside but they went to herb heaven quickly. This is a better way to go.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

*outside not aside

6:46 am

Pork fat is not as saturated as beef fat and a lot drains away during cooking.

7:45 am

BabbleRabble

Yep, a couple strips of bacon and duct tape will fix most flats in a jiffy

7:45 am

crosshair

7:46 am

hego

Now who would do that to a nice piece of bacon?

7:46 am

BabbleRabble

someone with a flat tire?

7:46 am

hego

lol

7:47 am

I like it too, hego... I was one of the rare people here who was loving the weather

very much so

2:05 pm

lyn! daleks pic is FINISHED!

2:08 pm

lynxxx

Wow, that was quick.....It looks fantastic! What did you do it in, I saw that you were painting it, it looked to me like pencil

2:09 pm

Atalante

it's pencil. I was going to paint it, but just didn't want to

2:10 pm

Atalante

I hate it now, but I'll like it again in a few days

2:10 pm

lynxxx

It's lovely! as well as quirky. I hope you are going to put some crazy price on it and put it on the Web for sale, bet some fan would happily pay

2:10 pm

Atalante

lol I've already had 2 people asking about it :)

2:12 pm

lynxxx

Why don't you put it out there anyway, you might get some more commissions from it. It is very good

2:13 pm

lynxxx

ummm, there is not any problem with copyright is there? (what an awful thought)

2:13 pm

Atalante

I just wish I could take a decent pic of it, the scan is so horrid. Scans are always horrid when you have roughish paper and pencils

2:13 pm

Atalante

officially, yes. in reality, nope

2:13 pm

Atalante

especially because none of the daleks are standard BBC daleks

2:15 pm

Atalante

I really needed to do that pic though. Last year I was having a real battle with myself about doing things like celtic knotwork - things that aren't "standard" detailed fantasy painting. Were they worth less because they were designs, not art? So I wanted to do this pic to prove to myself that really I do knotwork because that's what I choose to do, not because I can't do "standard" art if I want to

2:15 pm

lynxxx

If you got it commercialey scanned would/could it be any better?

2:16 pm

Atalante

oh yes, much

2:16 pm

and I'll take it to my nice scanner man when the snow's all gone

5:21 pm

Dorens

hahah... they are supposed to lead their peers.. Unfortunately, this crop of 8th graders aren't quite up to snuff... and out of ten, i'm not sure there will be more than two who show up, but as their advisor, it would be bad form for me not to be there

5:22 pm

Dorens

it was blocked here last year, but somehow things changed, and I hope it stays this way... it really helps when I have a lot planned in the evenings to be able to come on here lunch time and knock back a few

5:23 pm

aknitter

i love looking at what others have made. i am fascinated by color choices that people make

7:28 pm

Mom

and doing the CAL 6" blocks

7:29 pm

Mom

some I would never think to put together

7:29 pm

Mom

and some are such bright colors

7:30 pm

aknitter

i stink at color choices. i think it is a talent not something to be learned. i know what "go" together but not what work together

7:30 pm

Mom

I stink at colors too

7:31 pm

Mom

I just don't have an eye for stuff like that

7:32 pm

aknitter

my father does - skipped a generation i gues

7:33 pm

Mom

lol, that is a thought

Hello Babblers. Hope all is well.

8:19 pm

DR1965

HI RED

8:19 pm

DR1965

I was lurking but came out to say H ito you

8:23 pm

redturtlehead

hi lurker DR! how are you?

8:23 pm

nrkii

hi all

8:23 pm

nrkii

jumped back on babble to ask a question, if I might

8:23 pm

redturtlehead

hi nrkii.

8:23 pm

DR1965

Hi Nrkii

8:23 pm

DR1965

I am good Red- how are you?

8:23 pm

redturtlehead

We are open for Questions.

8:24 pm

nrkii

OK, Etiquette junkies out there... we're planning a bridal shower. Miss Manners says only people who will be invited to the wedding may be invited to a shower (otherwise it's just trolling for loot). Thoughts?

8:24 pm

redturtlehead

I'm warming up DR< so all is well...

8:25 pm

redturtlehead

I think...that Miss Manners is correct. Partly because I really hate bridal showers and would never find an invitation to one as invite for fun...unlike the bachelorette party, hich can be fun...

8:25 pm

DR1965

I agree also

8:26 pm

nrkii

Hmmmm.... crap!

8:26 pm

nrkii

The bride and groom are operating under a tight budget, so have had to pare down their guest list a lot.

8:26 pm

nrkii

And there are some family friends who I know would love to be included in the shower, but under these rules of etiquette, we can't invite them!

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

If someone wants to give a gift, they will do it shower or not.

8:26 pm

DR1965

hmmm

8:27 pm

nrkii

it's not so much about the gift, as it is the party

8:27 pm

nrkii

though I'm with you red, I'm not a fan of showers either

8:27 pm

welki

hi all (so why not just have a party and call it a party?)

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

I might be tempted instead of a shower to just have a party then...

8:28 pm

DR1965

do they know the situation with the bride and groom?

8:28 pm

welki

(on the invites: no gifts, please)

8:28 pm

nrkii

well, it's the grandmothers who are throwing it (I'm just the out-of-town aunt), so I think they are really thinking shower

8:29 pm

nrkii

the people who would be left out... they wouldn't be expecting to be invited to the wedding

8:29 pm

DR1965

tough call I think

8:29 pm

DR1965

are they friends or family

8:29 pm

redturtlehead

Yes it's a difficult call, but if it's going to be a shower shower, and there are people who were invited and people who weren't, someone is probably going to get their panties in a wad.

8:30 pm

nrkii

probably some of each

8:30 pm

welki

hehe, you didn't ask for my opinion, nrk, but i'm not shy ... no matter how much you think "they wouldn't be expecting to be invited to the wedding," there;ll be someone whose feelings will be hurt

8:30 pm

welki

holy cow, red and i must be related

8:30 pm

redturtlehead

At some point someone is going to think, "I can't believe so and so is invited and I wans't!"

8:31 pm

redturtlehead

Great minds Welki!

8:31 pm

nrkii

I'd love to be able to send them a separate unique invite, saying, look, you're not invited to the wedding, so don't bring a gift, but please come eat finger sandwiches and give the bride a hug

8:32 pm

redturtlehead

nrkii, no one would dare show up at a shower sans gift.

8:32 pm

welki

i used to have 'reject' parties for everyone who had no place to go on new years

8:32 pm

welki

how many extra people are you talking about, nrk?

8:33 pm

nrkii

somewhere between 2 and 6 probably

8:33 pm

welki

...and how many $ per plate do you think the bride and groom are spending

8:33 pm

nrkii

oh, no, these people won't ever make the wedding invite list... it's like... they're friends of my mom's, and so they would be delighted to celebrate with my mom the wedding of her first granddaughter

8:33 pm

welki

hell, that'd be a nice wedding present from you (or several folks, divided up), nrk .. pay for the extra places and then EVERYONE can go to the shower :)

8:34 pm

welki

ohhh ... and you're out of town, so it's not like you can have a separate get together after the wedding?

8:35 pm

nrkii

well, my mom could do it... but she's co-hosting with my brother's mother-in-law, so it makes it tricky

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

I think nrkii, that the shower is sort of about the bride, so who should be there should really be her friends, not her Mom's, unless some of Mom's friends have a special relationship with the bride

8:35 pm

welki

(and i think miss manners means that folks who aren't invited to the reception shouldn't be invited to the shower ... lots of folks (business/casual acquaintances) get invites only to the ceremony

8:36 pm

redturtlehead

ice Cream time.

8:36 pm

welki

yeah, red's right

8:36 pm

nrkii

well, the bride's mom will throw her a shower for that side of the family (divorce... many sides to this family) and the maid of honor will handle friends

8:37 pm

nrkii

so all we're worried about is the father of the bride side of the family (and the stepmother of the bride)

8:37 pm

nrkii

ACK! too complicated!!!

8:37 pm

welki

the only kind of showers i attend are those that involve running water and soap

8:38 pm

welki

<-- hates being told when to give a present and will give one when she darn well pleases :)

8:39 pm

nrkii

I'm with you on that welki, and I especially hate REGISTRIES!!!

8:39 pm

Enomis65

hellloooo

8:39 pm

welki

won't find my name on a registry either

8:39 pm

welki

hi eno

8:39 pm

Enomis65

not a nice grid tonight :(

8:39 pm

nrkii

You will bring a gift on this date at this time and it should come from this list, and in exchange, we will give you finger sandwiches and make you sit in an uncomfortable chair watching the bride open gift after gift after gift....

8:39 pm

nrkii

hi Eno

8:39 pm

Enomis65

hate registries too!!!!

8:40 pm

welki

i can help with a clue or two, eno

8:40 pm

Enomis65

hate showers tooo

8:40 pm

Enomis65

just starting welki, need 69 of them, don't think I will pursue much longer - but ty

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

Registries don't bother me too much...greedy registries do though.

8:41 pm

welki

given the choice between going to a shower or going fishing ... easy peasy

8:41 pm

Enomis65

what is the difference red?

8:42 pm

welki

when there are no gifts that a "normal" person could afford

8:42 pm

redturtlehead

Well, for Babies and such it is nice to see what people need...I dislike giving people their sixth car seat....

8:43 pm

redturtlehead

I dislike when people put things on there that are "dream gift items"

8:43 pm

Enomis65

ahhhhh,,, since i never really look at them, I did not know - I pretty much give what I want and can afford - very practical

8:43 pm

nrkii

yes, for babies it is useful

8:43 pm

welki

**Squeal** Thank you, Cousin Ivanka!! You bought me a Maserati!

8:44 pm

Enomis65

clue for the 7

8:44 pm

Enomis65

8:44 pm

Enomis65

8:44 pm

redturtlehead

For one of my cousins, I foudn out she wanted a knife set. It was in my price range so I sent it, and didn't have to think about it more...she is not my fav cousin.

8:44 pm

Enomis65

I reister at teh dealer next door...

8:44 pm

Enomis65

register...

8:45 pm

welki

s + the stuff that grows out of the top of your head + I REALLY *'ont like showers!

8:45 pm

welki

(oh, and plural for the 7)

8:45 pm

Enomis65

ty

8:46 pm

redturtlehead

It's a funny thing the registry. I like the ones that have items as little as 5.00 up to some more pricey items, but some times you get on it and it's all 500.00 china...

8:46 pm

welki

well, this ol' welki is calling it a night .. adios, chicas!

8:46 pm

redturtlehead

gnite welki, my shower relative...

8:46 pm

nrkii

night welki

8:46 pm

nrkii

thanks for the input

8:47 pm

Enomis65

night night welki

8:47 pm

nrkii

red, I just hate going to a shower and watching the bride open gift after gift after gift from her registry... it's the most boring thing ever

8:48 pm

redturtlehead

That and I do not like shower games. I'm more fond of a luncheon type event.

8:49 pm

nrkii

If I get married, I want people to throw me a shower where we play poker and black jack, do a beer tasting, and have ridiculously sappy romantic comedies playing in the background

8:49 pm

redturtlehead

perfect, all the winnings go to you nkrii as a gift!

8:50 pm

nrkii

ooh, that's an inspired thought, red

8:50 pm

redturtlehead

Weddings are very complicated.

8:54 pm

nrkii

shoot, gotta go

8:54 pm

nrkii

thanks for the advice!

8:54 pm

Hi all. I can't believe that "UFDA" isn't a WORD! It's the best word I know (here in MN, that is)!

8:59 pm

car.eeyore

OK...I have to ask...UFDA?

9:01 pm

torgone

Ufda!

9:01 pm

Nef

yeah. It's a good Scandinavian response to any question; an exclamation of surprise, a word of sympathy; etc. It all depends on the inflection

9:01 pm

Nef

AND, it isn't a swear word!

9:01 pm

car.eeyore

Cool!

9:02 pm

Nef

you've never heard it before? "Ufda!" What part of the country are you in?

9:02 pm

bojazz

ufda!

9:03 pm

Nef

hi tor. Have you heard it before (or are you just pulling my leg?)

9:03 pm

car.eeyore

Massachusetts...where everything is Wicked Pissa!

9:03 pm

Nef

LOL! I've never heard *that* expression before!

Poofing out again...have to get some more work done! Nite all!

9:49 pm

KrisE

Oh - so sorry!

9:50 pm

KrisE

Was she in the service? You might be able to get her service record.

it's okay. My mom died at age 32, his died at age 51. We "adopted" grandmothers for our kids.

9:51 pm

KrisE

My hubby found his dad's record in a box of papers. It said what his job was.

9:51 pm

KrisE

How sad to lose moms so young! But very nice to be able to choose grandmothers for your kids!

9:52 pm

Nef

no, she wasn't in the service. But there was a big Ammunitiions plant here and she may have worked there with her sister.... The things you don't knowto ask about before the older generations die....

I guess you've noticed it's typo time again. Very tired -- fell asleep for about 15 minutes earlier!

I'm a Business Manager for two small departments at a large research university.

Pinikula

I might have been nice to him, too!

11:40 pm

11:40 pm

Nef

11:41 pm

Pinikula

well, he would have gotten a tuition waiver and a teaching position with monthly stipend ;)

I told him that, but . . . I don't know!

I'm watching my kids struggle to pay off their loans now. I thought *I* had it bad when I was young; but I paid my loans off by working "a lot" and long hours.

11:44 pm

jillibus

Thanks, pini. I don't understand what's going on. I recently told him about a possible grant and he didn't even acknowledge my suggestion.

11:44 pm

Nef

These kids have to find jobs where they can earn extra $$ because they sure don't get to work full time!

11:44 pm

Pinikula

seems rather odd, eh, jilli?

Nef

11:45 pm

jillibus

Very odd. I give up!
