12:49 am

Douglas

Synopsis: As a landing party prepares to beam down to a previously unexplored Class-M planet, a beautiful woman, Losira, appears. She touches an ensign and kills him.

12:49 am

Douglas

I found a word that doesn't have a plural!

12:50 am

gremlinn

Was he wearing red?

12:50 am

Douglas

Most likely, the crewmen that get killed in TOS usually do

12:50 am

MLFAN17

okay guys i cant concentrate on this anymore only 82 words found i am out poof

12:51 am

jillibus

night mlf

12:51 am

Although Lieutenant D'Amato, who also got killed in that episode, was wearing blue

12:52 am

cybernan

12:52 am

gremlinn

just one

12:52 am

jillibus

nan, there's an ae7/28, that's all

12:53 am

Douglas

aerie and aero are common ae words, but they can't be in this grid

12:53 am

gremlinn

1:02 am

Douglas

Now I'm trying to find this te6 of which gremlinn speaks

1:04 am

Douglas

Laker forward Pau Gasol is in the grid. Minnesota won't build the Vikings a stadium, the Vikings will move to Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Vikings will become the most successful franchise in NFL history

1:08 am

herinfernallady

WOOHOO MY choice amount of words

1:10 am

flosey

1:11 am

herinfernallady

Flosey you can have a laugh at me as the B words are my nemises

1:11 am

Douglas

I can feel you wondering what I'm going on and on about. The Los Angeles Lakers were once the Minneapolis Lakers. How many lakes are there in Los Angeles, anyway?

1:12 am

gremlinn

City or county?

1:12 am

flosey

lol herin, there are a few aren't there

1:12 am

Douglas

Either one, there aren't many lakes in that area

1:13 am

gremlinn

Just Googled it...there's actually a "Lake Los Angeles" one hour NE of the city.

1:13 am

gremlinn

There aren't many, except maybe in the mountains.

1:13 am

flosey

herin, the bos are a breeze

1:15 am

justafreep

There also used to be Veronica Lake here in Los Angeles

1:16 am

justafreep

so, how is this beast (asks the late flipper)?

1:17 am

Douglas

There aren't many lakes in Los Angeles, there isn't much jazz in Utah

1:19 am

gremlinn

lots of words, but a lot of them are short and easy

1:20 am

Douglas

Just pluralize every word, freep, and that'll get a lot of them

1:20 am

justafreep

short and easy? Just like me!

1:21 am

cybernan

2:26 am

Jellen

My problem is I only have 41 left...want to finish! But...someone's making me get up early :-(

2:27 am

herinfernallady

Ask for kids menu or entree size

2:27 am

jillibus

oh yes, they'll give doggy bags (boxes, really) but a plateful is too tempting

2:27 am

westford

I wonder who jellen lol

2:27 am

jillibus

herin we don't have any places on this island with kids' menus.

2:28 am

herinfernallady

damn

2:28 am

rubyfoo

in france, it's too embarrassing to ask, which is why I bring my own little baggie

2:28 am

westford

how about ordering a cup of soup and half a sandwich do they offer that there?

2:28 am

herinfernallady

entree size

2:28 am

jillibus

no chain restaurants or "family" ones.

2:29 am

westford

why is that ruby? do they get insulted if you don't eat every bite of their delicious food?

2:29 am

jillibus

never mind -- I'll work something out -- soup and a piece of baguette maybe, or that appetiser

2:29 am

westford

you're lucky jilli too many chains here

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Dang Ruby from what I have heard French food is the best

2:29 am

rubyfoo

yes, and nobody else does it. even my husband gets embarrassed, so I surreptitiously stuff the food in the bag.

2:30 am

westford

do they give huge portions?

2:30 am

jillibus

but ruby, do they give the gigantic portions you get in the States?

2:30 am

rubyfoo

not in this area. I had the worst meal of my whole life last Sunday in an elegant place with a famulous view. I couldn't eat any of it, just secreted it all in my purse

2:30 am

rubyfoo

no, not that big, thank God

2:30 am

rubyfoo

frequently I get one or two appetizers and that's all

2:31 am

jillibus

what was it, ruby?

2:32 am

westford

I'm curious too you should have asked to speak to the chef

2:32 am

rubyfoo

it was sweetbreads (undercooked and sticky) served over breaded veal (tough and tasteless). What made it worse that we were the guests of friends, so I had to hide the food without their seeing. Did you ever try to hide food when you were little?

2:32 am

jillibus

I want moosiest to be a word

2:32 am

rubyfoo

and the service was awful.

2:32 am

herinfernallady

Sweetbreads is offal?

2:33 am

rubyfoo

having the biggest horns?

2:33 am

rubyfoo

thymus gland and it used to be my favorite food

2:33 am

westford

you'd think the French would know how to cook them

2:34 am

westford

did the dogs eat it or did they think it was awful too?

2:34 am

lynxxx

Hello all, back. I invariably order 2 entrees too. Can't manage an entree and a main. And entrees always seem more interesting than mains

2:34 am

jillibus

I was in the childrens' dining room on a ship when I was little and they gave us pistachio ice cream. I didn't like it so I dumped it on the floor under the table.

2:35 am

westford

bad jilli lol

2:35 am

rubyfoo

Ruby eats any restaurant food I bring home; she's less fussy than her mom!

2:35 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx. Is Sweetbread offal?

2:35 am

jillibus

Yes, bad!

2:35 am

lynxxx

Yes Infernal

2:35 am

westford

I don't like pistaschio ice cream either lol

2:35 am

rubyfoo

I think it's offal but I usually love offal, except for tripe and kidney

2:35 am

herinfernallady

thank you

2:35 am

jillibus

google them, herin!

2:35 am

westford

but I love pistachios

2:36 am

jillibus

I do too now

2:36 am

westford

hi lyn

2:36 am

herinfernallady

Rick Stein had a really good recipe of them

2:36 am

rubyfoo

that's why it's good to have a dog under the table

2:36 am

jillibus

this isn't getting my banana or bed -- cheerybye! PS -- over halfway now.

2:36 am

herinfernallady

I remember as a kid lambs fry and bacon

2:37 am

lynxxx

hi West

2:37 am

rumplestiltskin

When we have a Highland butchered, we have all the organ meats graound and I cook it for the dogs. They love it.

2:37 am

westford

wtg jilli and have a good sleep

2:37 am

lynxxx

mmmm Steak and kidney pie

2:37 am

rumplestiltskin

ground

2:37 am

lynxxx

Sleep tight Jilli

2:38 am

herinfernallady

I have gone all cross eyed with these mo's

2:38 am

rubyfoo

I would eat that in a heartbeat, but what's a Highland?

2:39 am

rumplestiltskin

Scottish Highland cattle, the best beef in the world. Only beef the Queen will eat. She raises them at her castle in Balmoral. We visited there.

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Is that the wooly mamoth cows?

2:39 am

rubyfoo

beef here is poor

2:39 am

rubyfoo

halal lamb is better

2:40 am

rumplestiltskin

They are not large, but have long hair and horns. They have heavy hides so do not build up a layer of fat, so good for heart patients and everyone.

2:40 am

westford

is that like kosher?

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Halal is cruel

2:41 am

rubyfoo

yes, the arabs kill their meat the same way but the lamb is much better

2:42 am

herinfernallady

No West Kosher the animal is blessed by a priest. halal they hang the animal upside down ALIVE then slit it's throat and let it bleed out. ITs bullshit and totally cruel and unneccessaru

2:42 am

westford

it sounds quick and painless herin

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I think you're right, lady, and therefore eat much less meat than I did when I lived in the US

2:42 am

herinfernallady

yer well you hang upside down on line in fear and then have your throat slit and kick and wiggle as you die

2:43 am

westford

it must die instantly

2:43 am

westford

oh I see then it would be a cruel way to do it

2:43 am

herinfernallady

Not as quick as a bolt gun to the head.

2:44 am

rubyfoo

don't they stun them first? I may go off meat altogether!

2:46 am

hurshy

of course, the living conditions of factory farm animals are pretty much as atrocious, if not more so, than the ways in which they die.

2:46 am

herinfernallady

No they don't Ruby. Most places do these days.

2:46 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy I tend to buy free range animals.

2:47 am

rumplestiltskin

I changed my Icon to our herd bull, Pavarotti.

2:47 am

hurshy

yes but - unless australia is radically different from the US - that label is virtually meaningless.

2:47 am

rubyfoo

does anybody know the work of Temple Grandin? She has developed a way of leading cows to slaughter where they aren't afraid.

2:47 am

herinfernallady

Different Hurshy

2:47 am

herinfernallady

Sorry If i am so bitchy I am trying to deal with someone that is being a child

2:47 am

rubyfoo

she's autistic, but VERY highly functioning, and understands animals

2:48 am

rubyfoo

so that's where my husband is!!!

2:48 am

hurshy

yes, temple grandin is a very interesting scholar

2:48 am

rumplestiltskin

Temple spoke at one of our Highland conventions.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

because of her, I put our autistic dog on Prozac and he's much better

2:52 am

rumplestiltskin

I don't think I will start this grid today. I go for my knee shots and will have to keep my legs up after that, so doubt if I would finish.

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Rumple those are the cows I love

2:53 am

westford

what's wrong with your knee rumple?

2:53 am

rumplestiltskin

They are just like big dogs. They love to be combed and scratched and are very gentle.

2:54 am

herinfernallady

awww

2:54 am

rumplestiltskin

I have arthritis behind the knee cap and it is very painful. They have been swollen for the past week and I will get cortizone shots.

2:54 am

westford

I hope they help

2:54 am

rubyfoo

do they give instant relief which, unfortunately, doesn't last?

2:55 am

rumplestiltskin

Me too

2:55 am

rumplestiltskin

Usually lasts about 3 months if I'm lucky

2:56 am

rubyfoo

improves mobility?

2:56 am

westford

have you had surgery?

2:57 am

rumplestiltskin

They have a new thing which is made from the combs of roosters called Synvisc I think. It is supposed to last 6 months but I am afraid I will start to crow . (LOL)

2:57 am

rumplestiltskin

Trying to avoid surgery if I can. Next step is knee replacements

2:57 am

westford

lol rumple

2:57 am

lynxxx

Its good you have found something to give relief Rumple,. You have too much going on to be immobile

2:58 am

rumplestiltskin

Is it better for your rankings if you just don't start a grid or if you don't finish?

2:58 am

hurshy

just don't start.

2:59 am

lynxxx

hi Hursh

2:59 am

hurshy

hi

2:59 am

rumplestiltskin

Thanks. That's what I thought

2:59 am

rumplestiltskin

Hi Hursh

2:59 am

rubyfoo

hi hursh

3:00 am

westford

hello hursh

3:02 am

rubyfoo

3:02 am

lynxxx

yes

3:03 am

westford

3:04 am

hurshy

3:04 am

lynxxx

3:05 am

lynxxx

TY Hursh

3:05 am

westford

well thank you

3:06 am

rubyfoo

hmm, irish girls???

3:06 am

Haz1558

The mo5 name tends to be more Scots than Irish, the Irish version is spelled differently.

3:06 am

westford

hmm always thought it was Irish hi haz

3:06 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

I can always count on you, haz, good morning!

3:07 am

lynxxx

goodmorning Haz

3:07 am

westford

is the Irish spelling Maura?

3:07 am

Haz1558

Maire is the Irish version, and pronounced differently.

3:08 am

westford

believe it or not that's our daughter's dog's name lol

3:08 am

rubyfoo

lol

3:08 am

Haz1558

Hello! And yes, Maura is another version.

3:09 am

herinfernallady

Morning Haz. Lynxx you still baking hot?

3:09 am

westford

and she found the name in a book about a selkie

3:09 am

hurshy

one thing i dislike about A words is that you never know if you're looking for regular words or things like "afire"

3:09 am

lynxxx

Yes thankyou Infernal, still 33!

3:10 am

herinfernallady

I just read it

3:11 am

lynxxx

I dislike ab4.6 - so NOT acceptable!

3:11 am

westford

really herin ? what a coinky dink

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I find the food word inconsistencies annoying -- soba? ramen? but then tofu is accepted.

3:12 am

herinfernallady

yep I had to see how warm it was

3:12 am

westford

lol I thought you meant you read the book

3:13 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Chers ata

3:19 am

westford

after 182 words..nbt

3:19 am

westford

that didn't take long

3:20 am

herinfernallady

dang cat is blocking my tv

3:22 am

Atalante

oh! I have to tell you all a funny furbrat thing

3:22 am

rubyfoo

dh is back, see you later

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Later Ruby

3:23 am

herinfernallady

O do tell Ata

3:23 am

westford

hurry back ruby

3:24 am

Atalante

yesterday, Sily was prancing around with the wind up her tail, and she comes belting up the stairs only to find Hobbit in the way. So she jumps onto Hobbit's backside, runs along her back and springboards off Hobbit's head. And carries on running. Hobbit looked quite bewildered.

3:24 am

hurshy

:D

3:24 am

lynxxx

more and more uppity!

3:25 am

Atalante

it was *so* funny. the look on Hobbit's face was priceless

3:25 am

lynxxx

BBL

3:25 am

herinfernallady

lol. Poor Hobbit

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Ever figured out what was up Sillys butt?

3:26 am

hurshy

apparently yesterday my mom wanted to video chat with wesley, and my sis asked him if he wanted to skype with grammy linda, and he said, "no, auntie!"

3:26 am

westford

bet that made your day hursh

3:27 am

hurshy

yeah

3:27 am

Atalante

nitroglycerine, I think

3:28 am

herinfernallady

lol

3:28 am

herinfernallady

I bet Silly had a ghost chasing here

3:28 am

westford

how do the cat and dog usually get along ata?

3:29 am

Atalante

they pretend to hate each other LOL, but they get on fine. Hobbit ignores Sily and Sily uses Hobbit as target practice

3:30 am

westford

sounds typical lol

3:30 am

Atalante

when they think no-one is looking, they groom each other / cuddle up together

3:30 am

westford

yep

3:31 am

herinfernallady

awww cute

3:31 am

westford

we had a springer called Winston and when our cat had kittens he was the nanny

3:31 am

Atalante

it works well cos Sily is so small that her claws never actually get through Hobbit's thick coat, so Hobbit doesn't even notice half the pouncing!

3:31 am

Atalante

awwwwwwww

3:32 am

herinfernallady

aww West

3:32 am

westford

he was such a gentleman

3:33 am

Atalante

springers are utterly delightful

3:33 am

herinfernallady

My friends mum ran a breeding cattery and one of the stud cats was actually two sex's so he had no aggression and would love the kittens.

3:34 am

Haz1558

How can a stud cat be two sexes?

3:35 am

herinfernallady

Well no. He was meant to be a stud cat but never was interested in the lady kitties. So they had a genetic test and well he became a ''stud'' kitty in love only

3:35 am

Haz1558

Ah.

3:36 am

Atalante

Ah

3:36 am

herinfernallady

He actually made a very good nanny cat. He was very protective of the kittens

3:37 am

Haz1558

His stud ambitions had turned to dust.

3:37 am

hurshy

:)

3:37 am

herinfernallady

yep

3:40 am

westford

I just found Oscar Wilde's lockup

3:41 am

Atalante

ooo yes

3:45 am

herinfernallady

woohoo no more M words

3:45 am

westford

good job herin !!

3:46 am

herinfernallady

they annoy me. and it was hard to do whilst watching So you think you can dance and crying over how sweet this 20 year old dancer was. She was alone dancing and learning in Paris at 12

3:47 am

westford

I've never seen that show..did she win?

3:47 am

herinfernallady

Not a winner yet but in the top 100. She is very good

3:49 am

Haz1558

Are the sob stories routine in that show as well?

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Yes and no but some of the most wonderful dances I have seen have danced because of things that have happened to them

3:52 am

Haz1558

I'd ban the sob stories. But then, that's why I'm sitting here finding words in a grid and why Simon Cowell and the like are making millions.

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Simon Cowell is an arse

3:52 am

herinfernallady

A rich arse but an arse still the same

3:52 am

westford

but you have to love him

3:53 am

westford

he knows what sells

3:53 am

Haz1558

Like him or loathe him, he knows how to manipulate and make money.

3:53 am

herinfernallady

I don't like the way they treat the boring plain people that are really talented

3:54 am

Haz1558

The boring, plain people are directed to the line entitled 'Make me beautiful through invasive surgery'

3:55 am

Atalante

I think the sob stories should be *after* the auditions. Sure, tell your story, but be judged on your ability

3:55 am

westford

how true

3:56 am

herinfernallady

They do dance first then speak

3:57 am

Haz1558

Did Margot Fonteyn or Nuryev or Fred Astaire have to speak?

3:58 am

herinfernallady

No but Margot died a like a pauper

3:58 am

Atalante

people that great don't need talent shows ...

4:02 am

Haz1558

I just dislike the whole manipulation that goes on - of audiences, of judges, of the contestants. Unfortunately, it's the price of making TV shows that sell, but I do think people are starting to waken up to and react against the sob stories. Talent should be the only thing up for judgement.

4:02 am

Atalante

oh yay I broke the chat!

4:02 am

Atalante

oh yay I didn't!

4:03 am

Haz1558

We were just deliberating.

4:04 am

Atalante

I think everyone has a sob story that they could bring out. It demeans the people who really were bereaved the day before the audition etc etc who actually have a real reason for not being at their best

4:04 am

herinfernallady

gosh no need to be so harsh

4:05 am

Atalante

personally, I don't think that's harsh at all

4:06 am

Haz1558

Harsh? My understanding is that if people came up through the whole show business thing, they'd have to develop very thick skins indeed. No room for excuses or anything, you get on and you do the job.

4:07 am

Atalante

it's the same with disability. So many people claim disability benefits for a hurt toe or slight back pain. That's not what it's for. It's for people who truly need it.

4:07 am

herinfernallady

I think you are being hursh towards the human condition of caring. Well excuse me for being open and saying I had a cry because this girl was a good dancer and ended up burning out.

4:08 am

Haz1558

I'm sure that people who are in show-biz and struggling to make a living, resent like mad those who are catapulted into leading roles, all because of TV exposure.

4:08 am

herinfernallady

Ata where did you read that?

4:09 am

Atalante

abotu disability? it's a well known fact, unfortunately

4:09 am

redturtlehead

Morning!!!! Yaaaay!!!!! And splash into the grid Good day all.

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Hi Red

4:09 am

westford

good morning red

4:09 am

herinfernallady

In Australia its very hard to get disability

4:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning red. (Somebody check whether Red has had too much sugar)

4:10 am

westford

sounds like she has the day off lol

4:10 am

redturtlehead

I am up for work...and probably have had too much of something...

4:11 am

Haz1558

Dog vitamin pills?

4:11 am

redturtlehead

but its well know that I love the bigger grids...

4:11 am

dizgrannie

herin, I had to fight for 2 yrs for the disability pension for disabilities from birth, that deteriorated with age

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Diz so did I

4:12 am

westford

herin don't ever apologize for having a good heart

4:12 am

redturtlehead

coffee....

4:12 am

Atalante

2 years? you're lucky!

4:13 am

herinfernallady

well I feel i have to.

4:13 am

dizgrannie

herin, it was bloody hard....good on you for going thro with it

4:13 am

herinfernallady

o yes lucky having to fight for 2 years with a host of personal stuff yep lucky. Good support from family and friends more like it

4:14 am

herinfernallady

And I would give up my disability if it meant the person that caused the last straw would come back alive

4:15 am

Atalante

yes, very lucky. My sister - who can hardly walk or do much as you know - had to fight for FIVE YEARS

4:16 am

dizgrannie

Ata..at first they 'lost' my files and then had to redo all Drs assessments...ended up going to Tribunal...had the Disability pension within 2 weeks...my advice is to keep a diary and copies of ALL correspondence

4:17 am

Atalante

I was just saying that 2 years is a damn good turnaround here

4:18 am

dizgrannie

yea I realise that, Ata

4:20 am

herinfernallady

That is because most Government departments can't find their elbows from their arse

4:20 am

rubyfoo

gd morning again; I got 148 words on my first go and now will try for a few more. They don't run those "talent" shows here

4:20 am

dizgrannie

one Centrelink (dole office here) Dr asked me how long I had had a hare lip and cleft palate for....answer is not printable....lol...but that was not my medical prob.

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ruby

4:20 am

rubyfoo

redt, did you figure out how to solve your problem guest/s activities?

4:21 am

rubyfoo

hi lady

4:21 am

rubyfoo

grannie, that's horrible!

4:21 am

hurshy

i have the 8's and 9's but not the 10 - any pointers?

4:21 am

redturtlehead

not entirely, but I think things are going to sort themselves out a bit. I found that one of the rocket launches he wanted to go to actually is very late at night so we can go even though I work that day, so that is a help.

4:22 am

redturtlehead

thank you for asking!

4:22 am

Atalante

can't tell you how many times sister gets ask info about her parents, when it has "adopted" in big letters on her med file

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I'll take any ideas for the 9's and 10, plssss.....

4:22 am

dizgrannie

so 10/84

4:22 am

hurshy

weird, normal, compound?

4:22 am

hurshy

both 9's are ob, coming off an 8

4:23 am

dizgrannie

not compound, but I managed to guess it...runs off so 5/10

4:24 am

hurshy

the so5 flare, or the one that's like french for sun?

4:24 am

herinfernallady

thank you for once again I didn't see the Ping ending

4:25 am

Atalante

flare

4:25 am

hurshy

ah, there it is

4:25 am

rubyfoo

thank you for the big ob's!!

4:26 am

hurshy

has anyone completed the bottom L's?

4:26 am

herinfernallady

Thank you Hursh

4:26 am

Atalante

yep

4:27 am

hurshy

so, money, pt and pl, and tennis shots... i miss the other two

4:27 am

Atalante

like pig calling

4:28 am

hurshy

ah, thanks. i forgot you could spell that sounding word that way

4:29 am

hurshy

well, i have 21 left. i'd have to say this is a pretty nice grid.

4:29 am

Atalante

after however many years on babble, the idea of pig calling still makes me giggle ever time it appears

4:29 am

rubyfoo

can't imagine how else you can speel it besides here, piggie, piggie!

4:30 am

rubyfoo

not too many farms in Queens!

4:30 am

Atalante

it's an american term!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:31 am

Atalante

I still can't quite get my head around when one would need to call a pig

4:32 am

rubyfoo

4:32 am

Atalante

the whole thing fascinates me

4:33 am

redturtlehead

rubyfoo

they're supposed to be really smart, make great pets! lol

4:33 am

hurshy

if you lived in the big woods of wisconsin in the 1800's, you could be miles from the nearest neighbor, which was likely family. you'd let the pig forage in the woods, rootle around for apples, and whatever. and at night you'd call them back to the pen. and they are very smart.

4:34 am

hurshy

anyway... back to sleep for me... *poof*

4:34 am

rubyfoo

people up the road hv a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig and it's grotescque

4:35 am

oops, no c

4:37 am

Atalante

Take sooei. Su- is the root of Engl. sow “female pig,” Engl. swine (originally an adjective meaning “of, pertaining to pigs”), and German Sau “sow.” The Old English for sow was su and sugu. Both forms align themselves with oink-oink, though in the languages of the world the words for the noise pigs make usually begin with khr-, gr-. It is common to call an animal pussy (to give a random example) and call it puss-puss. Likewise, sooey need not be Latin or Indo-European: it is probably a universal sound imitative complex designating both the pig and the pig’s grunt.

Oh dont even get me started on modern parenting, ~shudder~

6:31 am

herinfernallady

Think the advertisers of products were of the Veruca Salt and how even before baby is born the pressure is on

6:32 am

crosshair

we applied for his dacare slot the day he was born lol how is that for pressure at the start

6:33 am

lynxxx

It is like that here too Cross, I know of a couple of near-mothers who did the same

6:33 am

herinfernallady

That is practical if the Day Care lists are as long as ours

6:33 am

herinfernallady

This is what I am watching: http://tinyurl.com/ybctdmp

6:34 am

oodleberry

it's almost like we are in the stone age with parenting and they have to have it on tv to show us how to do it with children today. Do not want to make it too simplistic because I don't have any experience in it but there are two aspects in raising children and that is Love and the family unit ... if those are not there the family falls apart. Experience with my father who was never there for me and my mother too much.

6:35 am

oodleberry

am I daft or does that make sense?

6:35 am

herinfernallady

But then again I was watching a thing on Teens in the 1970s and I tell you what its the same issues we have got as you all had

6:36 am

sprite

good day all

6:36 am

herinfernallady

No no this show is not about being serious but more about how much bs parents get with trying to raise a kid

6:36 am

HI Sprite

Hi Sprite!

6:37 am

lynxxx

Oodle, I understand what you are saying

herinfernallady

OODle have a look at the link I have posted. Its quiet ammusing

6:38 am

oodleberry

i mean there is no basic difference between my generation and todays generation... I am there herin

6:39 am

herinfernallady

These kids were saying there was no were to go out. It was violent no dances etc. They also were saying that our Grandparents were not raised with modern life -the constant noise of TV cars planes and that is one of the reasons they don't understand how noisy we are

ty bo... I do have insight because of what I have observed with kids today but I think with kids today I would need more hands on experience to fully understand the ''Modern Family''.

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Good

6:46 am

crosshair

lol,indeed oodles,but there are a few more facets than that

6:46 am

oodleberry

that's what my mother has a problem with she can't seem to get it through her thick skull that I need to learn things on my own not to be protected

6:46 am

sprite

glad to hear that, lady

6:46 am

oodleberry

oh yes... if it is dangerous

6:46 am

herinfernallady

But you are her baby Oodle no mater how old

6:46 am

6:49 am

good job so far, crossy, on all three of you

6:50 am

I like most that they become their own persons. No copies of anybody, but their original selves. Beautiful.

It's so wonderful to enjoy them and then go home and enjoy the peace and quiet

6:56 am

6:58 am

I wouldn't anyway, just couldn't resist

6:59 am

herinfernallady

um no comment

6:59 am

meliae

cross if you are saying you can not longer spank you kids, in the US you can

7:00 am

crosshair

try it here meliae..they tech them to dial childrens aid in thier grade 1 classes

7:00 am

meliae

that is just plain crazy, a little spat on the behind never hurt a kid

7:01 am

sprite

overcompensating for abusing parents

7:01 am

crosshair

nothing lkike showing up to pick up your kid after school only so see childrens aid and a poilice car waiting

7:01 am

crosshair

ive been there

7:01 am

rubyfoo

and needs to be administered from time to time; it's iimmediate and very effective!

7:02 am

suefrad625

does the 9 & 10 end with ro4?

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Wooden spoon would just break on my b.fs brothers butt

7:02 am

meliae

I am not a good one to be in this conversation, I think the kids now days are lazy spoiled, dont appreciate things etc etc, I know there are exceptions and there are wonderful children out there, but you know what I mean

7:02 am

crosshair

lol in the old days herin my da used to use his belt

7:03 am

sprite

I agree, mel, and bringing up your kids in another way isn't easy. Even though the schools here appreciate it, most other parents and children don't.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

we have neighbors whose children scream all the time. I think a simple "I'll give you something to scream about" might do the trick. She can't even talk on the phone.....

7:04 am

Haz1558

The 9 and 10 aren't related, and no to both. You're looking for an 8 and 2 9 combination.

7:04 am

sprite

hi Haz and thanks

7:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

7:04 am

meliae

teh sass I see kids giving their parents is simply deplorable, no respect at all.

7:04 am

crosshair

cant touch them,once the schools drill it into them,they use it as a weapon

7:04 am

Haz1558

Hello again.

7:04 am

rubyfoo

or else you say "If you scream like that, the police will come and take Mommy away!"

7:04 am

suefrad625

ty haz

7:05 am

rubyfoo

scary, but it works

7:05 am

rubyfoo

"mean nel's child-rearing!

7:05 am

sprite

never had need for that. Clear boundaries and consistancy work fine without that kind of threats

7:05 am

herinfernallady

My exs mum used kettle cords.

7:06 am

crosshair

when he was in grade 2 he saw i was really mad one day and said"you dont spank me,or ill tell my teacher and you will go to jail" this is the truth of teachers/govt trying to interfere and raise your kid

7:06 am

suefrad625

the cops here have learned that the kids w/o a strong up bringing are causing the trouble

7:06 am

herinfernallady

I got the back hand as a kid mainly for being cheeky. And I deserved it

7:06 am

rubyfoo

never had to do it with my son, but he was an only child and that's much easier

7:06 am

suefrad625

so unless you are really beating your kid, they kind of turn away

7:06 am

meliae

yep I never threatened my kids if I said they were going to get a punishment they did, and yes I spanked on the bottom.

7:06 am

suefrad625

I took the monkey hair at the base of the neck and twisted it. that is all it took.

7:07 am

suefrad625

me too meliae

7:07 am

crosshair

that day with the cops etc,i was guilty till i could prove i was innocent..took 3 hours

7:08 am

meliae

if I said "dammit to hell" which was the worse cursing my kids ever heard out of my mouth they knew they had pushed me to far, and that usually resulted in good behavior for at least a week, lol

7:08 am

sprite

we don't spank them, we explain the rules clearly and if they choose to break them, they lose privileges.

7:08 am

rubyfoo

the only time I spanked my son was when he put himself in danger e.g. crossing the street on his trike when he was 3!

7:08 am

suefrad625

how old are they sprite?

7:08 am

sprite

cross, how awful. That is no longer protection of children, it is overdoing it grossly.

7:09 am

crosshair

now that he is 16,loss of priviliges work:))

7:09 am

sprite

12 and almost 14 now

7:09 am

crosshair

the i-pod and his game system are great motivators

7:09 am

rubyfoo

perfect ages, most receptive to learning stuff!

7:09 am

suefrad625

my 13yr old just say "fine" to any loss

7:09 am

meliae

I dont think I ever spanked my daughter other than a few light no no slaps to the hand when she tried to touch something she wasnt suppose to. if I riased my voice one octave she dissolved in tears

7:10 am

suefrad625

it makes me crazy, but he really is a good kid

7:10 am

suefrad625

he just takes his punishment TOO WELL

7:10 am

suefrad625

I want to see grumbling

7:10 am

sprite

I think showing your children respect and demanding it from them works. But so far I only raised 2 and they aren't 'ready' yet.

7:10 am

meliae

well I am glad you got it straightend out Crossy

7:11 am

rubyfoo

I have to go for a while, nice chatting with you all!!!

I am, am very happy with them, even if they can try my patience something wickedly at times.

7:12 am

meliae

phantom Liason,

7:12 am

sprite

mel, try orgasm. Even worse.

7:12 am

rubyfoo

the thing that worked when my son was a "terrible two" was for me to go into my room and close the door. The tantrum always stopped instantly.

7:12 am

meliae

how can they learn boundries though if they do not push them sometimes Sprite? as annoying as it can be lol

7:13 am

rubyfoo

no to orgasm, lol!!!!!

7:14 am

crosshair

i leave for 1 min and all i see are orgasms lol

7:14 am

sprite

no I don't mind, mel, lol. Of course they must. Right now, my son is trying everything he can to break rules. We try to teach him he can renegociate rules if he feels they don't longer fit him, but breaking them will result in trouble. In my heart I can feel he needs us to be the boundary, even if he wants to break it :)

7:14 am

rubyfoo

can't leave for a second, cross!!!

7:14 am

sprite

cross, they are PHANTOMS!

7:14 am

meliae

my son tried the tantrum thing, my mom told me just ignore it and it will stop go about your business like normal, as soon as he realizes nothing will come from it will stop. He would throw himself on the floor and scream like the world had come to an end. And it worked like a charm after a few days!

7:15 am

suefrad625

with my boys, if one of them (now 9 & 13) acted up really badly at school (which rarely happened) I would pick him up and go to lunch. talk about the day and see if the ro4 of the issue would come out.

7:15 am

rubyfoo

if my son did it in the street, I would just sit down on the sidwalk and wait it out. He was always too big for me to lift, so I really didn't have a choice.

7:15 am

sprite

oh mel, my son did the same! In shops too. I had to step right over him and continue the shopping. But it worked fine, he only tried a few times.

7:16 am

crosshair

my boy did learn early never to whine for things at the store

7:16 am

meliae

you feel like you are going to die of embarassment but better than giving in and raising a spoiled rotten screamign child like I see in the stores now days

7:16 am

suefrad625

I tell you what, since the old lady showed me the twisting of the back monkey hair, my boys never had a tantrum in a store again

7:17 am

sprite

worst children I have seen had parents that finallyl gave in to every tantrum. Those kids just knew that if they kept it up, they would win.

7:17 am

rubyfoo

i THINK THE WORST THING TO DO WITH a tantruming 2-year-old is to address the behavior. Just ignore it, and it goes away

7:17 am

herinfernallady

When my friends two year old would scrunch up in a ball and throw a tanty he would pick her up stick her in the opposite direction and tell her '['mecca is that way''

7:17 am

sprite

exactly mel

7:18 am

crosshair

lol dont thing a 2 year old would get the mecca reference but that is funny

7:18 am

herinfernallady

Made his day stopped him going silly.

7:18 am

herinfernallady

Then he would come back in a couple of minutes ask her if she was done and if she wasn't go away again

7:20 am

sprite

we told our children they could act out their anger in the hallway and come back inside when they felt better. My daughter once took an awful long time and I checked in on her, and she said royally: go away mum, I am still mad and I am not ready. She was 4.

7:20 am

meliae

my daughter has a neat system that works on her boys if they get something taken away fro bad behavior they have to not only miss out on having the item but they have to work to get it back IE clean or some kind of chore.

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Aww Sprite looking back that is cute

7:20 am

meliae

LOL Sprite how precious and honest of her

7:20 am

sprite

The part that kills me is she makes them go get the toy and bring it to her, and then explain to her why it is getting taken away, so she knows they understand what they did wrong. But the look on their little faces is sooooo sad =(

My two sons were once grounded from their bikes for a year!

7:30 am

meliae

I think the oen time I actually spanked my child really hard (my son) was for lying. The enighbor girl took his squirt gun away and stomped it,the slapped him. he hit her. The dad came over and demanded I spank my son. I asked my son if he hit the girl and he said no. The other neighbor told me my son had hit the girl. so I spanked him for lying. The dad was mad I didnt say I was spanking him for hitting. but rather spanking him for lying about it

Ata, here's where we recommend Kleenex balsam tissues.

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

nice!

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

no really, there are about 10 peple in the huge room. and i am using my own pc and own cell

9:35 am

Atalante

oh yes. Kleenex Balsam!!!

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

what are balsam tissues? the ones with antiviral infused?

9:35 am

Haz1558

Kleenex balsam tissues are the best when your nose is being uncooperatively drippy.

9:35 am

Atalante

they are wonderful

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

or do they have vicks incorporated?

9:35 am

Judi

Sounds very third world, TO. I hope they are paying you more than 50 cents an hour.

9:35 am

Haz1558

No, none of this anti-viral stuff, just lovely, soft. soothing tissues.

9:35 am

Aloyisius

li5.14, "a Chinese unit of weight", I knew that.. lol

9:36 am

Atalante

they have aloe vera and stuff in, and they actually do make your nose feel better

9:36 am

Haz1558

You know the way normal tissues leave your nose sore? And using cloth hankies tends to be a bit of a non-starter? Kleenex balsam are magical.

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

li5/14 sound chinese

9:36 am

periwinkle

have never sen those here in the US, Haz

9:36 am

Aloyisius

true, TO !

9:36 am

I don't think they have Kleenex balsam here in the states. Unless they are called something else.

9:37 am

Atalante

the day you get them, go out and buy a car load

9:37 am

periwinkle

I will look for them

9:37 am

Haz1558

You poor souls. Deprived of Kleenex Balsam? This can't be right in a civilised society.

9:37 am

Atalante

I do like the Olbas tissues too

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

not dripping. just headachey. i think they are called kleenex with lotion here

9:37 am

periwinkle

I like PUffs

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Puffs tissues--soft + infused with menthol

9:37 am

rururocks

boy I can't find the ai 7 as a superlative..

9:37 am

Aloyisius

I definitely feel deprived and discriminated against

9:38 am

Judi

Oh, well - there you go. I'm a Scotties tissue user myself.

9:38 am

Judi

Or, "Snotties" as we call them.

9:38 am

I'm afraid to ask, but what makes them "for men"? (assuming there's some explanation other than the lurid one everyone here is sniggering about).

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, I know that you are highly civilized and would never use your sleeve to wipe snot upon

9:41 am

Atalante

9:42 am

Atalante

9:51 am

rururocks

omg..

9:52 am

Haz1558

I've seen some pictures of her, ruru. I gather her appearances haven't been very well received?

9:52 am

rururocks

are they nuts?

9:52 am

However, the rocket was only 10 feet long. The payload was two turtles, a mouse and some worms.

Haz, I don't know how in the world he finishes that fast!

9:58 am

Haz1558

ae7/28 - relating to wind. ae, first two letters of Master Twist, finish with Scots John as in *** Fleming.

9:58 am

Atalante

I don't know how people can use the list with such a huge number of words. It's more confusing then anything

9:58 am

I know, Aloy, he spots the long words very quickly as well.

9:59 am

well, I guess we each have our preferences; I like to try to find 3/4 on my own before hitting the list.. takes a while!

Well, if I used the list from the get-go, I'd spot the long words really quick too.

Oh, that's brilliant! Is it a novel? Do you know anything about it, Temple? aeb, Flad is an abbreviation of Flathead. He was a stray kitten, and looked as if his head had been flattened during birth, but he is a handsome hunk now. (It also used to hint at Vlad the Impaler as he had a huge fang, but he lost it in a fight a few months ago.

10:13 am

Thanks to you both. (Now trying to remember Jr Hi French)

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

Well, off to check on dinner and find a radiator or 2. Going down to 1C tonight which is COLD for us. They are talking about snow, but we are usually too close to the desert for it to make much difference.

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i see dachef is in us per his profile.

10:30 am

jmcnrick

that is cold to me too mich but I see it more often!

10:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, he said he's going to be across for perhaps 3 months.

10:31 am

Michnick

I guess that's the difference, jmc. We rarely get that cold. I think I've turned on radiators 4 o5 times this winter and only closed my window at nice twice.

10:31 am

Okay, time I headed into a rather dreich afternoon. Enjoy this grid and hope you feel better soon, TO.

10:34 am

helensgirlkid

One of the things I like most about babbling is the way, after finding a couple of really rare words, and a babblet or two, suddenly you see a thoroughly mundane word and it takes you off on another tack.

i brought in a plastic bottle to refill and drink water throughout the day.

Back Pain.
Fatigue.

i guess thats what i get for eating fast food for the last few days. we had eaten everything in our fridge prior to the move, and we still havent had a chance to go grocery shopping yet. which is quite sad, seeing as how the grocery store is one block from our house now.

11:52 am

Atalante

now we hear the real reason ;)

11:52 am

robbie09

one block..you could walk..lol

11:53 am

11:54 am

EvaNadine

we can walk, and we will. we just havent had the time, since all we have been doing after work is unpacking and dealing with the utilities people. (*grumbles*)
now, at least, we believe the utilities to be finished...
tonight i have dance practice, tomorrow night i have a hair appt. so maybe friday i can buy real food!

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

why did dr. g not add the plural, stents?

12:43 pm

Atalante

good question

12:46 pm

BabbleRabble

Enable would have to add the plural

12:46 pm

Atalante

not necessarily

12:46 pm

Atalante

stent isn't in enable

12:48 pm

BabbleRabble

so if it is not there, to be there enable would have to add it

12:48 pm

Atalante

DrG added it to his version of enable

12:51 pm

cybernan

I've never heard of any of those os words before!

12:52 pm

Atalante

i am excited about not clogging my tiny house with more books!

1:20 pm

cybernan

would like to find the last one on my own, so will be back in a bit

1:20 pm

crosshair

just make sure you choose the correct one for your needs jmc

1:21 pm

crosshair

i would have to pry my wifes reader from her cold dead hands before she would give it up lol

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

how do i decide that crossy?

1:23 pm

crosshair

so this one we have is now a year and 2 months old and nary a single problem with it

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

(was busy watching yakko)

1:24 pm

crosshair

well jmc,you are in the states,so the kindle and the barnes and noble nook are feasable options for you as well

1:25 pm

jmcnrick

you have convince me that the kindle is not a good deal especially since i will be traveling the globe with any kind of luck at all

1:25 pm

jmcnrick

son just showed up brb

1:25 pm

crosshair

but be warned the kindle is the only one with proprietary file formats and this will limit you to downloading almost exclusivly from thier amazon book site

1:26 pm

crosshair

the nook and the sony readers have multiple file formats,including e pub and pdf

1:27 pm

crosshair

90% of my books come in pdf

1:28 pm

crosshair

the kindle international and the sonly daily editon reader are both worldwide downloaders with wi-fi and 3g capable,so each have merits and drawbacks

1:28 pm

Jayk

sorry to jump in like this but this is an emergency! i can only see my word list through the ms. I refreshed twice, but the visible list gets shorter every time. Ever happen to you? what do i do?

1:28 pm

crosshair

close the babble site totally,and delete temp files and cookies and restart

1:28 pm

Jayk

really?

1:29 pm

crosshair

indeed

1:29 pm

Jayk

OK--off to do that. sorry for the rudeness

1:29 pm

crosshair

not at all;))

1:31 pm

crosshair

if you are tired of computers and just want to read,then the international download readers are for you

1:31 pm

sammysmom

stuck again... lo 6/18?

1:35 pm

crosshair

if you want something that you can just jack into the computer,download a few books,jam it in your purse and head out the door,then there are less expensive model options

1:35 pm

jessmom

lo6/8 the one I have is the plural of the man's name

sorry crossy - no bacon in my rice today

1:40 pm

crosshair

i can manage..crossy sprinkles bacon bits into the rice

1:40 pm

Good Enough

at least i don't think so.....

1:42 pm

crosshair

ahh,good ole bacon bits,they are like pork fairy dust..just a little sprinkle and even the most idetetic dish comes to life;)))

1:42 pm

crosshair

dietetic*

1:42 pm

Good Enough

i am in general aggreement

1:43 pm

a little sprinkle and even tofu and beans sprouts can be endured;))

1:44 pm

Atalante

i saw bacon chocolate the other day

1:45 pm

crosshair

indeed ata,the bacon wave is advancing;))

1:45 pm

Atalante

but it was $7 for a small bar so I resisted

1:46 pm

crosshair

ouch! get an aero bar and a jar of bacon bits hehe

1:46 pm

crosshair

an aero bar just because the bacon bits will fit nicely in the bubble holes;))

1:48 pm

Atalante

yes indeed!

1:48 pm

crosshair

see? being a bacon fiend is a lot of work.all this must be thought out before hand lol..use a regular bar and all the bits fall on the ground...ahh! the logistics!

1:49 pm

Good Enough

one must be committed to his vice for it to pay off properly

1:49 pm

Atalante

either that or coat a normal bar with an extra layer of choc and then dip into bacon bits

1:49 pm

crosshair

yes indeed,if you have a supply of melted choc on hand

1:50 pm

crosshair

or it could be a hot day and your bar could be soft and you could roll it in the bacon bits

1:50 pm

Atalante

indeed

1:51 pm

Atalante

well if you have a choc bar you always have a supply of mekted choc

1:51 pm

Jayk

thanks, cross! I'm back among the ghastly esses

ugh,that would be too sweet for me i thinks

1:54 pm

yaa for mudd

1:54 pm

Atalante

it's not that sweet. it#'s good normal beer, just with some subtle taste of banana bread. utterly yummy

1:55 pm

crosshair

i wish i could send you a sample of my bacon vodka

1:55 pm

Gail

is

1:55 pm

Atalante

that really does sound good

1:55 pm

crosshair

it is,but must be done right to prevent greasy taste

1:56 pm

Atalante

at the moment I have some apple and cinnamon vodka, and some quince vodka

1:56 pm

jmcnrick

apple and cinnamon vodka sounds nice

1:57 pm

crosshair

mmmm..apple vodka

1:57 pm

jmcnrick

pour a little into coffee

1:57 pm

Atalante

it really is!

1:57 pm

Atalante

I'd definitely make that again. It was an experiment

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

so what is the plus and minus of wi-fi versus logging into my computer?

1:58 pm

crosshair

the secret as you know is subtle enhancement and not to overpower with the added essence

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

i take it that the ones that i down load from my computer are cheaper

1:58 pm

crosshair

200 dollars difference

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

can i download kindle books on a non-kindle computer?

1:58 pm

crosshair

(with the sony line)

1:58 pm

crosshair

no

1:59 pm

Atalante

yes, i'm slowly learning! I love quince cos however much you shove in, it remains as more of a fragrance than a real taste

1:59 pm

jmcnrick

yikes! that is some disadvantage!

1:59 pm

crosshair

kindle e-books are totally proprietary jmc

1:59 pm

jmcnrick

I have never had any luck with my quince from my quince tree

1:59 pm

jmcnrick

it is like cooking rocks

1:59 pm

EvaNadine

crossy, found a tshirt for you:

pg

1:59 pm

crosshair

you can convert to pdf i think,but it is an extra cost

2:00 pm

jmcnrick

okay so if i want to buy a book from barnes and noble do i have to use their reader?

2:00 pm

Atalante

jmc, the only thing I've found I can do with my quinces is quince vodka - or just chop them into thin rings and bake them and use them in pot pourri

2:01 pm

crosshair

no,because b+n reader is multiple file format you can read it on a sony reader if it is in pdf or eopub

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

amazon does have some pdf books you can download to your computer as I recall.

2:01 pm

crosshair

yes,the free domain books are available to all

2:02 pm

crosshair

classics etc

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

well now i have something i can do withmy quince

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

so if i want current books. . . ?

2:02 pm

Atalante

I did once try and make quince butter and gave up in disgust lol

2:02 pm

crosshair

but as i say,you are in the states and the kindle is a viable option as long as you are commited to buying new releases solely from amazon

2:02 pm

Judi

Hiya, cats and kittens. I thought the only thing quinces were good for was making jam/paste.

2:03 pm

crosshair

if you want my advice jmc i would choose either one of the sony models or the B+N nook

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

the primary advantage of using amazon is that they give 2-5% of price to the Center through GoodShop (feel free to use GoodShop and select the Center)

2:04 pm

Atalante

it's such a shame cos quinces have the most *gorgeous* smell / fragrance / taste

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

but I think b&n does too

2:04 pm

crosshair

now the nook is a first generation product while the sony is in its 4th or fith release

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

so between the nook and the sony?

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

that argues for the sony

2:04 pm

crosshair

yes

2:05 pm

crosshair

but dont take my word for it,explore the nook and the sony models

2:05 pm

Atalante

sony's a bigger company, more pull, less possibilities of problems than B&N I'd guess

2:05 pm

crosshair

if you put a gun to my head,id say the sony model 600 or if you have the bucks the daily edition reader

2:06 pm

Atalante

especially after Amazon's doing it's best to implode itself

2:06 pm

crosshair

my wifes is the model 700 with built in night light9they dont make this model anymore)

2:07 pm

crosshair

the big thing about amazon and kindle is they DO NOT supporte-pub,which is what all the libraries are going to offer thier books in

2:07 pm

crosshair

im sorry but opera handed out the wrong reader lol

2:08 pm

crosshair
