3:41 am

Was the answer 'new babblers'?
3:42 am
Atalante
"At sea"
3:42 am
Haz1558
Or in some cases 'old babblers'
3:42 am
Atalante
which I thought was very funny
3:43 am
Haz1558
It is clever.
3:43 am
Atalante
old in age, or old in babble age?
3:43 am
lynxxx
a bit obscure - must be hard cryptic
3:44 am
Haz1558
Take your pick, Ata, it can apply to anybody!
3:44 am
Atalante
the Telegraph cryptic crossword is the cryptic crossword for wimps and those that can't do the one in the Times. Which I why I do it!
3:46 am
Haz1558
There was an interesting programme on over Christmas time about crossword puzzles, how they began, how they're composed and about the people who set them. They explained all the sort of cryptic devices etc. Shame I didn't take notes!
3:47 am
Atalante
wonder if Aussie crosswords are uK style or US style - I'm not sure of exactly how they are different but it's really hard to do US if you're used to UK and vice versa

ohhhhhh. what a silly thing

Haz1558
I suppose it's there because the dictionary says it's a fabric;
3:53 am
Atalante
okey dokey I have to go over to Kent Wildlife Trust for the day. Yay fun! Back later!
3:53 am
Haz1558
Bye Ata - enjoy the day!
3:55 am
Atalante
ARA??! LOL :D

Back shortly.

rubyfoo
hello everybody -- again -- got 72 before and now just gleaned one from the chat
4:05 am
rubyfoo
can't do UK crosswords but whiz at US ones
4:06 am
rubyfoo
does anybody do acrostics?
4:06 am
lynxxx
not me, haven't heard of them
4:07 am
rubyfoo
they're a combination of a quote, author's name, title of book and clues to fill in
4:07 am
rubyfoo
it only took me 2 years to learn how!
4:07 am
sprite
good day all
4:07 am
rubyfoo
hello sprite
4:08 am
lynxxx
Spritey!!!! ((((humungus hugs))))
4:08 am
sprite
hi rubyfoo
4:08 am
sprite
lyn! :D How lovely to see you again. Are you well? *Huge Hugs right back at ye*
4:09 am
rubyfoo
interesting grid, but I'm struggling to get half way!
4:09 am
rubyfoo
I could use a hug :(
4:09 am
rubyfoo
cold out, worse in the house.....
4:10 am
lynxxx
I am very well. I am assuming you haven't been (sad face)...the new medication isn't continuing to benefit you?
4:11 am
lynxxx
oh dear Ruby, we have anothere Babbler who calls her 'better' half Mr Grumpoy, perhaps you can adopt that name as well
4:11 am
rubyfoo
how about mr. nasty
4:11 am
sprite
oh yes it is, lyn, it is just that bringing down the oxycodone and building up the gabapentine is a rotten combination. The side effects are truly bad. But I do have more feeling in my feet again. And for the first time in over 14 years less pain in the pelvic bone. So it is worth it.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
and he's defnitely my worser half!!
4:12 am
lynxxx
Sprite, sounds like you can at least get around a bit more - I hope so.
4:12 am
rubyfoo
lovely profile today, sprite
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I don't mean to be indiscreet, but what happened to you sprite? you are younger than my son!
4:14 am
sprite
yes I can, lyn, and I seem to be shaking off the severe depression that is a side effect of the gabathingus, so I can handle things a little better again.
Still must find a way to tackle the 'other' pain, which is not nerve related, but that is easier. I am again hopeful.
4:14 am
sprite
thanks rubyfoo! Ger means so much to us, it is wonderful to tell a bit about him.
4:16 am
sprite
the very short version, rubyfoo: PTSS from childhood trauma, pelvic instability from pregnancies, lost of feeling in feet.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
oh my, I'm so sorry
4:17 am
rubyfoo
from what group of drugs is gabapentine?
4:17 am
lynxxx
Sprite is one of babble's Elders, much loved and respected
4:17 am
sprite
don't be, we all carry our load and this seems to be mine. At this moment I am very happy to be allowed and able to stop using morphine.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
salaam!!!
4:18 am
sprite
elder in spirit, right lyn? :)
4:18 am
lynxxx
of course!
4:19 am
rubyfoo
I take a mild codeine every morning without which I'd be frozen -- back troubles but the drug lets me carry on and doesn't have side effects for me, luckily
4:20 am
lynxxx
Loredana played yesterday, first time for ages. She has some holidays. I hope she comes on tonight as I am sure she would be thrilled to see you Sprite
4:20 am
sprite
I was on a pretty high dose of oxycodone, but I didn't feel good about it. The loss of feeling in my feet made me go to a neurologist and he suggested Neurontin (or gabapentine), which influences the transport of information via nerves in the brain.
4:21 am
sprite
oh Lobo! Now that would make me so happy, to see her again. That is SOME lady!
4:21 am
rubyfoo
evidently oxycodone is abused a lot; it must be pretty strong
4:21 am
sprite
am sorry about your back troubles, rubyfoo, but glad that codeine makes things workable for you.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
as you say, each of us has his load to bear
4:22 am
rubyfoo
but yours sounds very tough!
4:22 am
rubyfoo
and I was OK until I was 47!
4:23 am
sprite
yes it is strong, it is one step before actually taking pure morphine. And even though it helped with the pain in my hips and back, it didn't do a thing for the pelvic bone. So I am doubly glad to go over to the neurontin, even though the actual process is rather tough. But it is finite, and I have my hope back. Things will work out.
4:24 am
rubyfoo
pure morphine is very strange, hallucinations and such
4:24 am
rubyfoo
but, when needed, it works -- and fast!
4:25 am
rubyfoo
now I have to make lunch for mr. nasty!
4:25 am
sprite
I have felt from the start as if oxycodone didn't agree with my body. I kept 'forgetting' to take pills, even though the pain was very bad. Some people get addicted to the stuff, but I have a kind of aversion against it.
4:25 am
lynxxx
see you later Ruby
4:25 am
sprite
make him a sweet lunch - it might do some good ;)
4:26 am
rubyfoo
strong character, sprite!
4:26 am
rubyfoo
see you after lunch
4:26 am
sprite
I love your icon, lyn!
4:26 am
lynxxx
it is amusing isn't it
4:26 am
sprite
not so much strong as headstrong, I think. And with a relatively good body sense.
4:27 am
sprite
yes, in every respect, lyn
4:29 am
kje
ooooo, sprite! I LOVE that icon!
4:29 am
sprite
hi kje! Good, isn't it!
4:30 am
kje
shows up so well!
4:30 am
sprite
yes, better in icon than on the profile, I saw.
4:31 am
kje
what is the theme, sprite?
4:31 am
sprite
Piet Mondriaan, the artist, kje
4:32 am
kje
cool, I thought maybe it was squares - LOL
4:33 am
sprite
hehehe would have been fitting as well.
4:39 am
sprite
I like this grid. It flows but it is also challenging.
4:39 am
kje
I liked yestardays better - more fun... this one is pedantic and boring
4:40 am
kje
kind of like me ; )
4:40 am
sprite
I hope you know I like you so very much!
4:41 am
kje
aaaaahhhhh, thanks sprite! you are one of my faves too!
4:42 am
kje
lots of chemistry in this grid so far
4:42 am
sprite
indeed, interesting
4:43 am
Haz1558
Hello again.
4:43 am
Haz1558
Hello, kje, sprite, everyone!
4:44 am
Haz1558
If there are chemistry words, I'm doomed.
4:44 am
sprite
you Haz? Never.
4:45 am
lynxxx
my heart sunk a little too Haz
4:45 am
Haz1558
I'll find them, I'll just not know them.
4:46 am
kje
you may already have them and not realize they are o-chem words
4:46 am
Haz1558
Nice to see you back, sprite, I hope your meds improve your condition.
4:46 am
Haz1558
This is entirely possible, kje, I'm careless sometimes about looking up meanings.
4:46 am
sprite
Haz, can I ask you something? I have been reading a lot of english books lately and I have come across some sentences that went like: " also he wanted to consider other options as well" quite often. Would you say that is correct english or is it, as I would say, an unnecessary double?
4:47 am
kje
yes, let's hear this one haz - LOL
4:48 am
Haz1558
Not necessarily unnecessary. But how to explain...
4:49 am
kje
so glad she asked haz....
4:49 am
Haz1558
The man had choices to make. He could pick Tom, Dick or Harry, also he had other options as well, such as Peter, Paul or Luke.
4:49 am
sprite
hehehe I know whom to ask!
4:49 am
Haz1558
However, you could probably construct a less clumsy sentence than with all the alsos and as wells.
4:49 am
kje
as well is similar to "also", sprite... or "in addition to".. that type of thing
4:50 am
sprite
ok, thanks! So not necessarily incorrect, but not really 'good'.
4:50 am
kje
and since you pointed it out, yes it does sound like an unnecessary double, but maybe used for emphasis?
4:50 am
sprite
isn't it great to have people that are actually willing to answer such questions of mine? Thanks a lot, Haz.
4:50 am
Haz1558
In your sentence, sprite, also refers back to what went before, 'as well' looks to the other options. So, they're kind of different entities.
4:51 am
sprite
ah, that makes sense. Now I get the 'feel' of it a little better.
4:51 am
FMitch
Morning all
Sorry I am late for the lesson Mrs Haz ;)
4:52 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, sprite, I hope it helps! And to be honest, what you read isn't always necessarily good English. Some people get away with murder.
4:52 am
kje
yes, there is an implied phrase to follow (wanted to consider other options as well *as the job he had already applied for* etc
4:52 am
sprite
hi FM, glad to see you!
4:52 am
Haz1558
Good morning, FM. You'll stay behind for five minutes to make up time.
4:52 am
FMitch
Hello spritey sprite and kje and lynxxx.
4:52 am
kje
but if you are reading novels, you don't have to have proper english... people talk like they do in real life
4:53 am
sprite
so true, Haz! Sometimes it is hard to maneuver between trusting my own judgement and being open to learning new uses of language.
4:53 am
Haz1558
But I couldn't bring myself to write down what some people say in real life. I'd have to correct their grammar.
4:53 am
FMitch
How goes the grid today?
4:54 am
sprite
it flows, but it is challenging as well, FM. I like it a lot.
4:54 am
kje
aaahhh, but then how would you convey theyare a certain type of character, haz.... you would be stymied
4:54 am
kje
my opinion re the grid... meh
4:54 am
Haz1558
I wouldn't have those type of characters in my book!
4:55 am
sprite
I have just read a book in which some accents are written out almost phonetically. Not easy on a dutch girl, but enlightening. And fun!
4:55 am
FMitch
good point kje, imagine the Godfather talking like Jeeves and Wooster, it just wouldn't work.
4:55 am
kje
hard person to read? faulkner... for exactly that reason.. he tries to catch the rural southern language on page... kills me
4:56 am
Haz1558
Which accents, just as a matter of interest? Wuthering Heights has a fair amount of accent written into it.
4:56 am
Haz1558
And doesn't Steinbeck do the same?
4:56 am
FMitch
How about Chaucer then?
4:56 am
sprite
"Drop 'm buster!" seems to be more effective than "Put them down, you unfortunate piece of existance!"
4:57 am
kje
LOLOL sprite!!!! the second is excellent though! very funny!
4:58 am
kje
steinbeck does the same, but I do not find him quite as hard as faulkner... but maybe i just do not like faulkner... different part of the country they are portraying
4:58 am
sprite
I think Ger is inspiring me. He had a command of language that was amazing. His legal letters were nothing short of art. Most secretaries didn't like working for him, but I loved it.
4:59 am
kje
well, have fun with it, sprite!
5:00 am
sprite
and with the grid. You will beat the thing, kje.
5:00 am
kje
I am half-way, but just not enjoying it as much as yesterdays
5:00 am
kje
plus, it is 0500 here, so I must whine a bit
5:01 am
sprite
ouch that is sleeping time. Whine away, you have every right.
5:01 am
Haz1558
Your whining is lightweight considering your situation.
5:01 am
FMitch
Against my better judgement I am going to dive in.
I was up at 5am this morning kje, it's just too early.
5:02 am
Haz1558
Yes, dive in, FM, and if things get tough, we'll just keep calm and carry on.
5:02 am
kje
yes, though when I first woke up and saw it was just after 4, I thought, I feel great! and made the bad decision to get up...now I am sleepy again - LOL
5:02 am
sprite
glad to have your company, FM. What made you rise? The alarm or an inability to sleep on?
5:03 am
sprite
if you can, kje, you should give in to it and take a nap. Go with the rhythm your body asks for.
5:03 am
FMitch
Guess my body just thought it had had enough sleep despite my brain going *urgh*
5:03 am
kje
I ain't got no rhythm ; )
5:03 am
sprite
when the going gets tough, the tough take a break, Haz.
5:04 am
FMitch
Haz, looks like youa re due some more white stuff tomorrow, hope it's not a lot.
5:04 am
FMitch
or head for the nearest cabana boy sprite :)
5:05 am
sprite
oh good idea!
5:05 am
Haz1558
Dear goodness, I hadn't heard that!
5:05 am
Haz1558
Husband is getting good use of those winter tyres, that's for sure.
5:05 am
FMitch
sorry HAz, caught it on the forecast this morning and thought of you.
5:06 am
Haz1558
Maybe it won't come to much.
5:07 am
FMitch
WE had some yesterday but nothing much and all gone again now, actually it's very mild today +8.
5:07 am
sprite
*considers moving to other side of Channel*
5:08 am
FMitch
Do you still have snow sprite?
5:09 am
sprite
most snow is gone today, leaving a layer of ice on all sidewalks. Lots of rain though, so maybe things will thaw eventually.
5:09 am
Haz1558
The ice is the worst, it's so dangerous.
5:10 am
FMitch
Wouldn't it be great to go somewhere warm in November and come back in the spring.
5:10 am
sprite
I took Terra for a walk, but made it very short. It was indeed to dangerous. But it was so cold with the rain and hail that even Terra didn't mind going back :)
5:11 am
sprite
*too dangerous
5:11 am
FMitch
How is Terra, all grown up and a full member of the family I bet?
5:12 am
sprite
he is full-sized, today is his birthday. But in development he still has a way to go, he is an adolescent now. Up till about 18 months, they say.
5:12 am
FMitch
awe Happy Brithday Terra :)
5:13 am
sprite
he is doing just great. Sweet, happy and beautiful. And very much part of our family, yes.
5:13 am
Aloyisius
Happy Birthday to Terra!! Hi FM, sprite, Haz, kje.. (-:
5:13 am
sprite
will pass it on!
5:13 am
FMitch
Aloy!!! Hello
5:13 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Aloy.
5:14 am

teenage dog - aaaagggghhhh
5:14 am
Aloyisius

5:14 am
sprite
must be off, Caya comes home. back later!
5:14 am

5:14 am
Haz1558
Bye sprite, happy birthday to Terra.
5:15 am

5:15 am
FMitch
Bye spritey
5:17 am
FMitch
Hope all is well with you Aloy.
5:19 am
Aloyisius
tedia is NOT the pl of tedium I guess... am hanging in there FM, believe it or not, it is Spring here.. signs of new growth all around.. so, can't complain but am still grouchy in the cold
5:20 am
Aloyisius
How are you, FM?
5:21 am
FMitch
Am well and believing spring is just around the corner:)
5:21 am
Aloyisius
your icon is very "springy" and lovely
5:22 am
FMitch
I changed it in anticipation but have changed to another one today so you are seeing the old icon.
5:23 am
Aloyisius
h'mm, that is curious.. will refresh
5:23 am
Aloyisius
still a bouquet of yellow flowers
5:24 am
FMitch
well enjoy the daffodils then.
5:25 am
Aloyisius
I do enjoy them.. but wondering why I don't see your new icon..
5:25 am
Aloyisius
have been having computer problems and need to go purchase a RAM chip
5:25 am
FMitch
sometimes I don't see my changed icon for a while, its one of babbles idiosyncrasies.
5:26 am
Aloyisius
How is your new computer, FM?
5:27 am
FMitch
Hope that fixes the problem for you.
I love the laptop but since getting the office sorted am back on the old PC as there was so much data on it.
One day I will transfer it all across.
5:28 am
FMitch
Am going to use the laptop to try and teach my Mum how to use the internet.
5:28 am
FMitch
Given that she can't type this might be an interesting project.
5:29 am
Aloyisius
.. hope so too as I freak out when the "blue screen of death" interrupts whatever I'm doing.. Oh, FM.. I think that would be wonderful for your Mum, and for you too as you could communicate w/o long distance charges
5:31 am
FMitch
oh my tum is rumbling, think Iwill get an early lunch as breakfast was a long time ago.
Lovely to see you Aloy and take care.
5:32 am
Haz1558
See you, FM.
5:32 am
FMitch
Bye HAz might see youlater this afternoon.
5:32 am
Aloyisius
will do, FM.. finally got an email off to you.. did you get it?
5:33 am
FMitch
Yes Aloy thank you it has arrived safely.
5:33 am
Aloyisius
phew... have a super duper day, FM
5:34 am
FMitch
Bye all *poof*
5:36 am
Aloyisius
al 6.21 is such a pretty word, have no idea what it is
5:36 am
Aloyisius
brb, going to get dictionary
5:37 am
Haz1558
Plural of land owned outright.
5:37 am
Haz1558
So, not really that pretty in meaning, although I agree it sounds nice.
5:39 am
Aloyisius
back.. my balloon has been popped, I totally agree, Haz.. no pretty meaning to accompany the musical quality of the word..
5:39 am
lynxxx
so - this is NOT a nice grid. Giving up for tonight, 70 left. Bye all
5:39 am
Haz1558
Bye, lynxxx, see you tomorrow.
5:40 am
Aloyisius
sweet dreams, lynxxx!
5:40 am
Trifioso
(whispering) Haz, do you think it's just us in here? I have been bursting to tell you something!
5:40 am
Haz1558
It's just us. Go ahead.
5:41 am
Trifioso
hmmmm. might be better left to email, but I shall try to speak in code....
5:41 am
Uneaixoise
i won't tell a soul
5:41 am
Haz1558
Or put it temporarily in your profile? This is intriguing....
5:42 am
Trifioso
remember the email chat you and I had a few weeks back about a certain someone? well, certain someone OUTDID themselves the other day, and it like to drove me MAD. seriously, I was one click away from the good dr. god himself.
5:42 am
Aloyisius
I'm not listening
5:42 am
Haz1558
Aha! No code needed. Message received and understood.
5:42 am
Uneaixoise
ooohhhh, intriguing . . .
5:43 am
Trifioso
honestly, it was completely beyond the pale. begging, and then insulting the donor.
5:43 am
Trifioso
honestly, it was completely beyond the pale. begging, and then insulting the donor.
5:43 am
Trifioso
see how upsetting it was? had to say it twice! lol
5:44 am
Haz1558
That must have made life interesting for a while. I'm hugely impressed at everyone's patience, that's what inspired me to go all diplomatic.
5:45 am
Haz1558
And seriously, people have protested before now and it has mattered not a jot.
5:45 am
Trifioso
ah. well, then, maybe I should take a lesson. as it was, I just gave up and came back in an hour.
5:45 am
Haz1558
It's the way she likes to play.
5:46 am
Trifioso
oh hey - just found a lovely phantom for me: tertiare!
5:46 am
Uneaixoise
140 down, 68 to go -- back to bed :-) *poof*
5:46 am
Haz1558
It might be a good test for sedatives. Babble with and without and see what difference they make to the blood pressure.
5:46 am
Haz1558
The critical point would come when you have to decide whether it's more important to find words or to keep awake.
5:46 am
Aloyisius
see you later, Une..
5:47 am
Haz1558
Bye Une - sleep well.
5:47 am
Trifioso
it probably says more about my mind set at the time. I was thiiiiiiiiiis close to flaming in the chog.
5:47 am
Haz1558
Been there, done it, left feeling like a wet rag.
5:48 am
Trifioso
it's still a pisser. I come here to escape stress, not get more
5:49 am
Haz1558
I know. It's a problem.
5:49 am
Haz1558
You want light conversation, a bit of laughter, that kind of thing.
5:51 am
Aloyisius
maybe Angelsong could add a "Babble Etiquette" chapter to Babble for Dummies link
5:51 am
Aloyisius
oops, I forgot, I'm not listening..
5:52 am
Trifioso
I mean, I am probably more guilty than anyone of airing my dirty laundry in the chog, so I really shouldn't be casting stones, but this is more about playing, though I am trying to be better about chog whining, today notwithstanding
5:52 am
Haz1558
And you have no clue who we're talking about either.
5:53 am
Aloyisius
this is true, Haz
5:53 am
JBV
hi and good morning - i wasn't even here at the time you're talking about, but I agree there should be a Babble Etiquette level one that everyone agrees to
5:53 am
Haz1558
Good morning, JBV.
5:53 am
bojazz
morning Babblers - good to be with you to start this day. Cheerios & words!
5:53 am
Aloyisius
hi there, JBV
5:54 am
Haz1558
Good morning, bojazz.
5:54 am
Aloyisius
.. and hi to bojazz too
5:54 am
JBV
hi Aloy! and Haz, bojazz, Trif (and lurkers)
5:54 am
Trifioso
oooh, cheerios! now I want some!
5:56 am
Aloyisius
yup, even if it were written tongue-in-cheek, "no no's for the chog" would be a helpful chapter
5:57 am
Trifioso
well, i highly recommend "kindly do not insult people who give clues" as a rule
5:58 am
Trifioso
and a quick show of hands, please: who else tried to enter "yoda" today?
5:58 am
Aloyisius
sounds good, Trif.. especially when they are trying to be helpful, what a rude way to treat them
5:58 am
Haz1558
Was it 'that was a rubbish clue, do it again' kind of insult'?
5:59 am
JBV
I remember when I first chanced upon this game - I spent at least two weeks just reading the chog, at times amazed at how fast it whizzed by, and just getting a "sense" of the unwritten rules
5:59 am
littlebit
my hand is raised
5:59 am
Trifioso
yes, but way worse
5:59 am
Trifioso
thanks little bit!
5:59 am
Aloyisius
hi littlebit
5:59 am
littlebit
that one too
6:00 am
littlebit
hi aloy
6:01 am
Trifioso
okay, thanks, I feel better for our little chat haz. I need to step out soon. Primo made this GINORMOUS physics project, and I have to drive him to school today, as there is no way this thing would have fit on the bus!
6:01 am
Trifioso
and I have to be in work early today. Ugh. Early and I are not on friendly terms, ever
6:01 am
Haz1558
Glad you feel better. You can be sure that if, at any time, you are feeling murderous, the chances are that others are as well.
6:02 am
Haz1558
Sitting on hands and biting of tongue is much practised in this chat log.
6:02 am
Aloyisius
hagd, Trifioso.. good luck to your son with his physics project!
6:02 am
Trifioso
thanks haz. losing my religion and yelling at someone in the chog to just stop it already is probably in violation of the babble etiquette rules, huh?
6:03 am
Haz1558
Ah, but the rules are unwritten....
6:03 am
Trifioso
thanks aloy. if they gave up points for expense to mothers alone, he would get honors.
6:03 am
Haz1558
The rules are more understood than written, but some jut don't understand.
6:03 am

my grandpa was the youngest of 16 children and because my great parents couldn't take care of him very well by themselves he was put in a monastery and ran away and snuck on a ship going to the US. then when he established himself in NYC he ended up running and owning several Barber shop businesses including selling tabaco and candy; several houses and apartment houses. During the crash of 29 he lost all his businesses and his houses and apt houses but managed to keep the original Barber shop and his own house.
6:51 am
Aloyisius
hi rumple.. you must have started at the flip?
6:51 am
herinfernallady
bless my kitty. He just saved me from a little spider
6:51 am
rumplestiltskin
I did for about an hour, then went back to bed.
6:52 am
oodleberry
hi rumple hi your ladyship
6:52 am
herinfernallady
Oddle that is really interesting history
6:52 am
Aloyisius
oodle, you had one hard working grandpa!
6:52 am
oodleberry
yup and I don't know how he managed to go on just a few hours of sleep
6:55 am
herinfernallady
Oddle my Great Grandpa, Bampi Fought in the Battle of Gallipoli came home then worked as a coal miner and marched from Wales to England in a coalminers strike. I think that generation were inspiring
7:00 am
Aloyisius
eyes need a break, still four to find before I "earn" the list.. brb
7:01 am
bichon
My grandpa came to the US before the first WW because he was the bad boy of the family and my grandma came cause she was the prettiest daughter, but the youngest. All the suitors wanted to marry her and not her older sisters
7:01 am
oodleberry
even when he was home, you didn't see him lying about the house... he was always doing something. one time there was something he was wanting to do on the roof (this is when he was getting older and my aunt took over the businesses) when my aunt went to work my grandpa went off on the roof and fell off, the exact reason why my aunt told him specifically not to go up there when no one is here. Well he fell off and dragged himself in the house. He survived and I think this was the time his cut his hand very badly and he put vaseline and tape on it (he put vaseline on everything sore, cut, etc.!). One day my aunt smelled something funny and she saw that my Grandpa's hand had gangreen. and she goes PAPA!! YOU went on the roof didn't you ??? Well she took him to the hospital and got it taken care of but what a man... sometimes i think if I had half the ambition he did I would be somewhere today.
7:03 am
oodleberry
indeed lady but my mother has the same work ethic... she tried and tried to en still it in me but didn't work that well.
7:04 am
herinfernallady
OOdle that reminds me of the Nonna and Nonno next door to my house. He would get up on his ladder to trim a tree and Nonna would go right off at him
7:05 am
oodleberry
my grandpa and grandma were the same... they were work horses.
7:05 am
herinfernallady
My dad doesn't sit still either
7:08 am
oodleberry
He came through Ellis Island and I think was there for about a week before they let him in cause he didn't have any papers and it was around the time of mouselini and fascism.
7:09 am
bichon
My grandparents and uncle came through Ellis Island too. I've visited ther several times
7:10 am
oodleberry
oh he was 14 when he came over too
7:10 am
bichon
They wanted to keep my Uncle cause they thought he had TB, but he had a goiter
7:11 am
oodleberry
oh wow
7:14 am
bichon
I've been to Ellis Island both before it was renovated and after. I grew up in NYC
7:15 am
oodleberry
I was only born there Richmond
7:16 am
oodleberry
there used to be a naval base there but it is no longer
7:16 am
bichon
On Ellis Island? I didn't know that. I was born at the Brooklyn Naval Yard in '46
7:18 am
herinfernallady
HI Bichon
7:18 am
bichon
hi Herin, long time no see
7:18 am
herinfernallady
I should be in bed. Sorry to interupt
7:19 am
bichon
I should be eating breakfast and not chatting. Hopefully bbl
7:21 am
oodleberry
ok anyone here???
7:21 am
herinfernallady
me
7:21 am
Aloyisius
I'm back, oodle
7:21 am
herinfernallady
I just got in actually and I should be in bed
7:22 am
oodleberry
was just looking at Ellis Island at google and it is strange the way it is part in NJ and part NY
7:22 am
herinfernallady
I was out helping a friends daughter the nerve of some RealEstate agents
7:23 am
Aloyisius
what did the agents try to pull, herin?
7:24 am
herinfernallady
They tried to pull the give as $2000 cash and we wont evict you. The $1000 for the person before you that you moved in and took over their spot on the lease (so its not her debt) and $1000 cash bond
7:24 am
herinfernallady
Both highly illegal
7:25 am
Aloyisius
do you have something like the BBB? (Better Business Bureau).. they should be reported or something
7:25 am
herinfernallady
And because I had the renters rights book as a spare we drove down to her and showed her her rights and highlighted what she needs to write out for going to the tribunal tommorow to straighten it all out
7:26 am
herinfernallady
We have VCAT. She has to go there tomorrow to sort it out. I do wish we had a website like they have in the USA that shames shonky agents.
7:26 am
bichon
Oodle, there's always been a big turf war between NY and NJ over the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
7:26 am
Aloyisius
"shonky" is a new word for me, but I know what you mean!
7:27 am
herinfernallady
Sorry I forget my Ausisms
7:27 am
oodleberry
well I always thought it was in NYC as the statue of liberty..
7:27 am
herinfernallady
I wanted to go and yell at this person taking advantage of someone that doesn't understand
7:27 am
Aloyisius
I like that word ! It sounds like its meaning.. (-:
7:28 am
Aloyisius
why the turf war? gate taxes?
7:29 am
oodleberry
from the map it is very much in the boundaries of NJ not NY
7:29 am
Aloyisius
interesting.. always thought it was in NY
7:29 am
bichon
Aloy, Interstate jealousies. It was traditonaly part of NYC, but in later years, NJ has gotten more aggressive about it.
7:31 am
Aloyisius
yet, in my mind, the statue "belongs" to the nation, not to one state
7:35 am
herinfernallady
Aloy you always have agents here that pray on young people and their first out of home rental experiance and it makes me so angry
7:36 am
Aloyisius
glad you had that book, herin.. maybe agents should be required to provide one to each client
7:37 am
oodleberry
you are right so it should be but tell that to NY and NJ they probably won't give it up ... the statue of liberty is clearly in NY by the borders around it indicate but the dock to it is in NJ... so funny
7:37 am
herinfernallady
They are meant to by law. i think the previous person had it.
7:38 am
Aloyisius
ahh, now I understand..
7:38 am
Aloyisius
but lots of people don't read their rights and are not as informed as you ..
7:39 am
herinfernallady
But if you haven't read the book before or had a bad rental experience you just wouldn't know. I had a bad experience with my old real estate agent so I knew teh book
7:40 am
Aloyisius
glad you were there to help, herin.. lucky for your friend
7:40 am
oodleberry
yeah for her ladyship!!! :D
7:42 am
herinfernallady
I just looked at the realestate agent I previously had and they are advertising in my old block of flats and the description is for the first floor flat not the ground floor they are such idiots
7:45 am
oodleberry
sick 'em lady
7:45 am
Aloyisius
wow, this grid is something.. giving my brain and eyeballs quite a workout
7:47 am
Aloyisius
not to mention the monkeys...
7:48 am
oodleberry

7:48 am
Aloyisius
lol, oodle..
7:48 am
herinfernallady
what about monkeys, nuts and grapes?
7:49 am
Aloyisius
at this rate, they are going fast!
7:50 am
herinfernallady
My friend used to sing : I like monkey nuts and grapes That is why I am Tarzan king of the apes
7:50 am
herinfernallady
opps I meant: I like bannana's, monkey nuts and grapes.
7:50 am
Aloyisius
ok.. what is a monkey nut?
7:51 am
oodleberry
a nut that monkeys eat
7:52 am
Aloyisius
makes sense to me!
7:52 am
oodleberry
hee hee hee
7:52 am
herinfernallady
as in Monkeys nuts
7:52 am
Aloyisius
ahem, won't tell you what I'm thinking
7:52 am
herinfernallady
He used to sing this whilst jumping up and down on the bed being very irritating
7:53 am
oodleberry
it can be any nut... but it is a monkey nut cause the monkey eats them :D
7:55 am
herinfernallady
Ok I really hopped you would get this but obviously my Australian humor doesn't transtlate. By Monkey nuts i meant testicles
7:55 am
Aloyisius
LOL... that is the anatomical term I was thinking of but didn't mention!

thats my girl..oh you mean the bacon was unclothed or you were? lol
9:37 am
jmcnrick
*imagines sprite lying in bed with her beloved dangling bacon over her open mouth*
9:38 am
sprite
now there's an idea
9:38 am
aebmusica
dangerous to fry bacon with no clothes on...sometimes painful Sprite.
9:38 am
EvaNadine
in most dishes, the bacon ARE the clothes...heh
9:39 am
crosshair
one of my dads ten best bits of advice 'never cook bacon without a shirt on" ;))
9:39 am
sprite
and never make love wearing socks?
9:39 am
crosshair
depends where the sock is
9:40 am
aebmusica
that's if u want to keep a brest of the times(lol)
9:40 am
sprite
owwwwwkay!
9:40 am
jmcnrick
i wear a large apron -- shirt is is not required
9:40 am
jmcnrick
nor nickers
9:40 am
sprite
true, just the apron will do nicely
9:40 am
EvaNadine
man. we had ourselves a rough night last night that seems to be seeping into a rough day today.
i need to schedule us some massages!
9:40 am
jmitch
cross: the sock works for frying bacon....at least for the lads
9:41 am
crosshair
who says the chog was quiet;)) seems lively to me;))
9:41 am
jmcnrick
i have had a headache for 24 hours and am getting tired of it
9:41 am

*sends EvaN some cabana boys and girls with magic hands*
9:41 am

don't talk to me about lively. Just was crudely awakened twice from my sweet nap
9:42 am
sprite
jmc how rotten
9:42 am
crosshair
had to massage a migraine out of my better half last night.poor thing had it for 5 days;(
9:42 am
jmcnrick
how crudely?
9:42 am
sprite
once a slamming door, once a telephone
9:42 am
jmcnrick
i usually can sleep them off but this one just won't go
9:42 am
crosshair
she heard neeked and bacon and was jolted awake lol
9:42 am
sprite
ouch crossy. She is lucky to have you! And you her, no doubt
9:42 am
jmcnrick
pooh that is rudely not crude at all!
9:43 am
sprite
snow, thunderstorm or both heading your way, jmc?
9:43 am
jmcnrick
snow is theoretically
9:43 am
sprite
ah, rudely. I apologise.
9:43 am
jmcnrick
you thinking it is barometric pressure?
9:44 am
sprite
might be snow then. Hard to make those headaches go away, al4. Black coffee or red wine/port might give some relief.
9:44 am
jmcnrick
crude is what crossy would propose
9:44 am
jmcnrick
i am drinking coffee now
9:44 am
crosshair
i am not always crude,i am a gentleman at heart;)
9:45 am
jmcnrick
i had red wine last night
9:45 am
sprite
ah well, crossy can awaken me crudely whenever he likes, lol.
Thanks jmc!
9:45 am
sprite
you certainly are, cross
9:45 am
jmcnrick
you have your gentlemanly moments cross
9:45 am
crosshair
i always give the ladies the first piece of bacon;)))
9:46 am
sprite
wine never works for me, port used to sometimes. Coffee, ordinary black coffee, once out of every 3 times, I'd say.
9:46 am
sprite
only the first piece? Man, once our appetite is aroused, we want the whole thing.
9:47 am
crosshair
lol,like a diesel motor..cant get them going..then cant turn em off lol
9:48 am
sprite
I wouldn't say that
9:48 am
crosshair
oh...look at this lovely grid,err i better dive in..sploosh!
9:48 am

9:49 am

exfluncticate his opponent in a conbobberation,
that is to say a conflict or disturbance, or
ramsquaddle him bodaciously, after which the
luckless fellow would absquatulate."

1:12 pm

1:12 pm
jmcnrick
a pun of sorts, but gruel is not the same as grits
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
and crazy, how does that affect the recipe?
1:13 pm
jmcnrick
gruel is oat based and grits are corn based
1:13 pm
jmcnrick
the only thing changes is what you put on them crossy
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
I think that neither has much food value
1:13 pm
crosshair
ive never been south of the border,but wife says grits are nasty and they try and push them on you every time you order eggs and bacon it seems
1:14 pm
Atalante
I could live on oatmeal
1:14 pm

1:14 pm

jmcnrick
*wonders if she could get home if she drank a couple of martinis for lunch*
1:26 pm
rubyfoo
the best is a nessie, with a tuscan pepper, smirnoff and evian. The pepper peeks over the side of the glass, hence, "Nessie"
1:26 pm
rubyfoo

yelling doesn't make me work harder it makes me want to slap her and punch him out
4:32 pm
SeaSpray
the "game" is what gets on my nerves and yes i agree on slapping her
4:32 pm

lynxxx
an6.24 an & the forst man with last vwl changed
4:34 pm
oodleberry
it is but I think to fast sea... the guy who lost the most is now having to worry about the flab that is left
4:34 pm
lynxxx
forst = first
4:34 pm
oodleberry
think when you lose it slower the skin doesn't react that way
4:35 pm
SeaSpray
ahh, i think about that too, I know someone who had surgery to remove all that flab after she lost over 100 pounds, very serious stuff
4:35 pm
dcseain
ty for an6
4:35 pm

SeaSpray
no, from my town oodle
4:40 pm
oodleberry
there is a page on FB about it and they were talking about the one jillian accused of lying... whether or not she did there are ways of telling someone. And NOT with Jillian's attitude like she is the best of the best ... there is a difference between healthy pride and arrogance
4:41 pm
oodleberry
agan I think it is how fast she lost it or if she got her stomach stapled
4:41 pm
oodleberry
*again
4:42 pm

5:22 pm

hi inge, Kap, seain, and cwest
5:27 pm
JBV

5:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hey
5:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
That's OK - moment of silence was over.
5:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I said, moment of silence OVER>.
5:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hello?
5:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What a tribute.
5:30 pm
hurshy
the way to get chat moving again is to say silly things. then people are more tempted to respond, if in fact people are watching the chog.
5:31 pm
JBV
that wasn't silly, hurshy but hello anyway
5:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I thought I was being silly.
5:32 pm
hurshy
i know it wasn't silly. *i* wasn't trying to get chat moving, merely offering advice for anyone who wished to do so.
5:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Actually, no, I was dead serious.
5:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Controversy over silly.
5:33 pm
hurshy
silly songs help.
5:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am not into this grid at all, so I am just chatting idly.
5:34 pm
hurshy
iiiiiiiiiiiiit ain't gonna ra4 no more no more, it ain't gonna ra4 no more
5:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Apparently you are feeling just as dedicated as I am.
5:35 pm
hurshy
no, i am feeling dedicated... just trying to give you an example. i will go back to my finding of words.
5:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
How many of you will admit to watching a daytime soap opera?
5:35 pm
JBV
speaking of silly, we just finished watching THe Fifth Element for about the 1000th time - it's a really weird movie
5:36 pm
JBV
haven't watched daytime soaps since the 80s when I was home during the day, was hooked on Guiding Light
5:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Anyone else more recent?
5:37 pm
hurshy
i own a joey lawrence cassette tape... but have never watched soaps. sorry.
5:37 pm
JBV
why, Kap? what do you watch?
5:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Someone out there must be secretly hooked on a daytime soap!
5:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Funny you should ask.
5:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I got hooked on Days of Our Lives the day I finished my doc disesertation.
5:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I don't know who Joey Lawrence is.
5:39 pm
hurshy
count your blessings.
5:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Apparently I am the only one who admits to watching this subtle form of drama.
5:40 pm
JBV
that's when I was watching, too, Kap, i was doing my Ph.D. at Georgetown and had plenty of time int he afternoons - best years of my life
5:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Is that a guilty silence?
5:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I consider Days of Our Lives to be my post-doc. It's been over 5 years.
5:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Dissertation was torture.
5:42 pm
JBV
what field, Kap?
5:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Clinical Psychology- isn't it obvious?
5:43 pm
JBV
mine is Linguistics, not sure how obvious that is
5:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Linguistics and psuch- and we are reduced to babbling idiots.
5:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Psych.
5:44 pm
JBV
we could get a ph.d. in Babble
5:44 pm
JBV
we've put in enough hours
5:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Does linguistics help with the weird words?
5:44 pm
JBV
yes, Kap, especially since I speak Spanish, French, and Italian - which pop up a lot here
5:45 pm
bojazz
hi everyone - would the degree be for Babbling Idiots or Babbling Idiocy?
5:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You knew there had to be a good reason for learning all those languages.
5:46 pm
JBV

5:47 pm
JBV
al 8 - it's a plural
5:47 pm
hurshy
i must need another al7 then
5:47 pm
bojazz
the waters of Babble-on would be the class drink of choice?
5:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The tower of Babble- you know, the one built to reach heaven, and the people were punished by the creation of different languages so they couldn't understand each other
5:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Babbleonia.
5:48 pm
bojazz
well i'm there! there's a lot of talk here that is way beyond my understanding
5:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No matter how you slice it, it's still babbleonia.

hi, jilli, I thought of you today - I am reading a book by someone who grew up in Shanghai - Am I remembering correctly - you did grow up there?
6:37 pm
jillibus
Yes, jbv -- what's the book?
6:37 pm
JBV
Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah -
6:38 pm
JBV
kind of depressing but the portrait of the times is very interesting
6:38 pm
jillibus
Oh well -- hers was a different world
6:38 pm
JBV
her mother died at birth, father remarried the most EVIL stepmother, etc., but she managed to succeed, became a doctor, and wrote this book for revenge I guess
6:39 pm
jillibus
good for her! What time period was this?
6:39 pm
JBV
she went to university in London around 1950 I think, so I guess she was born around 1930
6:43 pm
jillibus
Interesting! My son gave me a paperback for Xmas called Shanghai -- 1155 pages! It's as thick as a brick -- goes into the distant past. I've only read 77 pages so far.
6:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
sounds intersting jbv
6:46 pm
JBV
that's quite a handful - 1155 pages for a paperback?
6:46 pm
JBV
if only half of what she remembers is true, the stepmother is really an ogre
6:49 pm
jillibus
The one I'm reading is fiction and a bit annoying so far -- painting the "foreigners" as cruel monsters and the residents of China at that time as ultra-civilised saints. Real names are thinly disguised.
6:51 pm
JBV
who's the author, jilli?

I love Jillian that woman rocks. The people that go on the show are exploited and they usually put all the weight back on or get stuck on some stupid mean replacement program not taught real food real copping methods and realistic exercise and diet. It just pisses me off that people who are needy are exploited like that.
7:52 pm
lbdawger
ri6 is plural of the ri5.14, like king and queen family but ri
7:52 pm

I don,t agree about jillian

If she did go watch Lost, next time she starts complaining about politics I lan to tell her she's not allowed because she didn't participate.
