lots plurals of words Scrabbler - when you get one it goesquick for a moment and then you have to hunt for a word to do it again

Hello, barrister

Scrabbler
Is the snow gone yet, BR?
5:31 am
BabbleRabble
No, there still is some snow, but apparently there will be no major flooding
5:31 am
Scrabbler
I saw that too, in the newspaper.
5:32 am
BabbleRabble
You must still have a bunch of snow, Scrabbler, as much as you get each winter?
5:33 am
herinfernallady
Sorry Hi Babble
5:33 am
BabbleRabble
Will you explain for me the Rule in Shelley's Case, barrister?
5:34 am
Scrabbler
There are still some large piles of snow--along the front of the house where it accumulates when it falls off my metal roof, and in the driveway where the plow pushes it into piles.
5:35 am
Scrabbler
I think she is looking that one up, BR.
5:35 am

Are you not to be a barrister?
5:40 am
herinfernallady
no
5:40 am
herinfernallady
Not I
5:41 am
BabbleRabble
My mistake, then. Please accept my apology.
5:41 am
herinfernallady
No dramas. It would be American Case law not English
5:42 am
BabbleRabble
"...when the ancestor by any gift or conveyance takes an estate of freehold, and in the same gift or conveyance an estate is limited either mediately or immediately to his heirs in fee simple or in fee tail; that always in such cases, 'the heirs' are words of limitation of the estate, not words of purchase.
5:43 am
BabbleRabble
Very much British
5:43 am
herinfernallady
Opps my Bad. Nope not heard if it having a squis
5:44 am
Scrabbler
Lady, are you studying to be a paralegal?
5:44 am
herinfernallady
It is called something different here. No Studying legal practice
5:45 am
herinfernallady
Ok now I get it. It is a probate property law thing.
5:46 am
herinfernallady
You can't hold a property for ever and a day. You have to leave property to someone. You have a limit 2 generations and 21 years
5:46 am
herinfernallady
Haven't really studied Perpetuities
5:48 am
BabbleRabble
the rule against perpetuities is another rule that any real estate lawyer must know
5:48 am
herinfernallady
In other words. I can't say when I die my house passes on to heir after heir after heir. You have to say It passes to heir and Heir then 21years. You can't hold the home forever and a day. It is up to the second heir to distribute the property.
5:48 am
BabbleRabble
the two are separate
5:49 am
herinfernallady
I have just done Probate and Administration. It is a property law thing but we learnt it in PRobate as its a cross over thing
5:49 am
BabbleRabble
yes, you have learned well
5:52 am
herinfernallady
Good. Does that make me a good Padawan?
5:52 am
Jayk
could one of you Learned Persons help me out with the re 5/18? And good morniing!
5:52 am
herinfernallady
I think the reason that it is both Property and Probate is that in Probate Estate comes into it

HI Jayk

Hello, Jayk
5:53 am

this took way too long for a short grid!
5:54 am
herinfernallady
BabRab you are Real Estate Lawyer yes?
5:54 am
BabbleRabble
was a calming, almost enchanting grid
5:55 am
BabbleRabble
I have not practiced for over ten years... but yes, real estate, probate and commercial law
5:55 am
herinfernallady
Any hoot why do you want to know about this Rule?
5:56 am
BabbleRabble
can you not tell how calm I am?
5:56 am
BabbleRabble
I was testing you, herin.
5:56 am
herinfernallady
Ok good so was that a good answer?
5:57 am
Jayk
yes, now that you point it out--i feel waves of calmness coming at me
5:57 am
BabbleRabble
You get a large smiley face
5:57 am
herinfernallady
Good good. I have a test coming up on Probate. It isn't that hard if you actually think which seems a foreign concept for most of my class mates

1:51 pm
Nef

1:51 pm

1:55 pm
LuwandaHL
yep, he was so bright. he thought he knew everything
1:56 pm
LuwandaHL
i do appreciate my children
1:57 pm
Nef
and since he's working on a second degree, he must have some smarts, right? (my son was and is smart; but he didn't realize that stupid actions were bad
1:59 pm
LuwandaHL
I was lucky that way. so many young people make stupid mistakes without thinking about the consewuence or the severity of their actions
2:00 pm

Hello all :)
3:23 pm
Nef
hi NB. I'm supposed to be doing something; but I'm Babbling instead
3:23 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh dear Nef...what are you supposed to be doing?
3:24 pm
Nef
housework! :-) DH went to a former co-workers' retirement party and I thought I'd get some *real* housework done today!
3:25 pm
Nef
no such luck (I'm too involved to quit right now)
3:25 pm
Nancy Boy
and yet babble's suckered you in ;) it's alright around here, I actually got up at a reasonable time for once and did some cleaning
3:25 pm
Nancy Boy
I even wore an APRON
3:26 pm
Nef
Oh, Man! You can come do some for me!! <hoping!>
3:27 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Nef. Sure, I'll just...swim there ;)
3:29 pm
Nef
okay, swim across the Atlantic, then through the Carribean to the gulf, then up the Mississippi and I'll meet you by lock #1! :-)
3:29 pm
Nef
(easy directions, huh)
3:30 pm
Nancy Boy
my sense of direction is poor...I'd end up in Mexico
3:30 pm
Nancy Boy
though I don't know how exactly
3:31 pm
Nef
you probably need the sun you'd get there
3:32 pm
Nancy Boy
well actually, it's not been so bad here today...if we had a garden I'd have been out in it. When it hits summer, I'll stand under the leak in the ceiling to cool down
3:34 pm
Nef
oh, MY! That doesn't sound good! The ceiling may fall in!
3:34 pm
Nancy Boy
welllll, it's only when it rains! we're hopeless optimists in this flat, by the way. We're too poor to live in London without rattly windows and ceiling leaks ;)
3:36 pm
Nancy Boy
(lots of the time the leak can be "fixed" by going up to the roof and putting one of the plant pots over the little crack)
3:37 pm

How are things in Babbleland?
3:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have 15 left- maybe I'll come back and find a list later
3:39 pm
Nancy Boy
I'm not finding this grid so agreeable, actually. I swear most of the time I come onto babble just to chat
3:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Most of the action is in the lower right- but not all
3:41 pm
redturtlehead
hi everyone. I dont know why but a visit to the Physician always leaves me drained.
3:41 pm
Nef
Hi Kaplan. Sorry NB, I had a phone call there.. I'm glad you are hopeless optimists; but that would worry me to have a leaking ceiling
3:41 pm
Nancy Boy
Hey Red. I know exactly what you mean. The optician, however, I enjoy.
3:42 pm
redturtlehead
Leaking ceiling would be alright, unless something falls through the ceiling... I am so so tired.
3:42 pm
Nancy Boy
No problem Nef :) well, we'll get it fixed one day, don't worry about us ;)
3:44 pm
Nef
red, what did they do to you? a regular doctors appt. drained you that much?
3:46 pm
Nef
wow. Down to 36 and I can't see any more words at all.
3:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
OK I'm back. Is ther e a Lickety today?
3:47 pm
Nef
yep, Kaplan, just opened it myself
3:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
OK I'll try it for my last 15 because I'm stumped
3:50 pm
jmbdobie2
perilously close to the pb nef
3:51 pm
Nancy Boy
I tried Brum too...that's what a person from Birmingham is called; it should be a word!
3:51 pm
Nef
true, but *not* quite there yet (Besides, I ate most of the choclit there earlier; I'll have to replace it now)
3:51 pm
Nef
NB, add a vowel
3:51 pm

3:52 pm
TeaNCrackers
I pop in now and again, life is busy!
3:53 pm
Nef
I know. For some reason it never slows down, just goes faster and faster
3:53 pm
TeaNCrackers
especially with two little ones, volunteering at school, being the girl scout leader, the PTO vp, and working part time
3:53 pm
TeaNCrackers
today is a rare break
3:55 pm
Nef
how did that happen? (Maybe you can plan a few more???)
3:56 pm
TeaNCrackers
the little guy is at a friends house, the big girl is at school and it is a latae start for me for work today, since we are slow right now
3:56 pm
TeaNCrackers
I'm trying!
3:56 pm
Nef
Good for you! Enjoy! :-)
3:57 pm
TeaNCrackers
thank you!
4:01 pm

4:04 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have 5 left. Help with the first de5 and the second de6- the one that doesn't mean reserved?
4:05 pm
TeaNCrackers
no help, here, sorry! I need both of those, also
4:05 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I got them- they're like the reserved one but withpout the last vowel
4:06 pm
TeaNCrackers
great, thanks for sharing!
4:08 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The last le6?
4:08 pm
TeaNCrackers
I have no le words, sorry
4:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne
There are a lot of variations on an animal, but I don't know if the one I need is another one
4:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne
br5/18 then?
4:10 pm
TeaNCrackers
I got the first three animal ones
4:10 pm
lynxxx
le6 an anagram of the el6.24
4:10 pm
TeaNCrackers
br 5/18 is a different spelling of what you sweep with
4:10 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Thank you
4:11 pm
TeaNCrackers
you are welcome!
4:11 pm
TeaNCrackers
thanks, lynxxx got a bunch from that
4:12 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The last le6/24 and bu5/18?
4:12 pm
TeaNCrackers
le 6/24 is a plural
4:13 pm
TeaNCrackers
there is no bu 5/18
4:13 pm
Kaplan the Magne
bu5/16
4:13 pm
TeaNCrackers
in 6/21
4:13 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I still don't get the le6.
4:14 pm
TeaNCrackers
do you have the le 4/6? plural that
4:14 pm
lynxxx
le6 ends like el6.24
4:14 pm
TeaNCrackers
the last bu 5/16 rhymes with what women carry

returtlehead, if you like number puzzles, it is great. simple math problems in a grid and only one of each number in a column....go to kenken.com.....i just found it and love them
4:31 pm
redturtlehead
hate math. But someone will probably love them! THanks for the info....
4:32 pm
hurshy
i adore kenken.
4:32 pm
redturtlehead
and thanks Lynnx, I needed that Du** word.
4:32 pm
hurshy
only the big ones, though. even the 7's are starting to feel ... almost too easy.
4:33 pm
hurshy
unlike the L's in this grid.
4:33 pm
redturtlehead
I gotta admit, I feel like I have enough with Babble and keeping up on my scramble games....
4:34 pm
redturtlehead
I have 8 L's I think the last three are obviously awful!!!
4:34 pm
hurshy
i only have 6
4:34 pm
redturtlehead
lots of Lu's for me.
4:35 pm
redturtlehead
Mostly 4's words I did not think were words.
4:35 pm
hurshy
i have 3 le...
4:35 pm
hurshy
ah, thanks, that gave me two more LU
4:35 pm
redturtlehead
we should combine Hursh. I think we'd have them all then...
4:36 pm
redturtlehead
I only have 2 le, the monkeys
4:36 pm
hurshy
the other one sounds like bawdy which there is also the lu that sounds the same
4:36 pm
redturtlehead
Ok thanks, I now have 3 le words.
4:36 pm
hurshy
oh, and i'd missed a simple past tense. so now we are both up to 9.
4:37 pm
hurshy
ugh, i have 9 words left and 4 of them are 7's.
4:37 pm
redturtlehead
yes, 9/11 the last two must be atrocious, if neither of us highly intelligetn peopels can figure it out...lol
4:38 pm
hurshy
aha, monkeyed a trio of e's 6-7-7
4:38 pm
redturtlehead
I keep attempting brule, like creme brule. is it brulee or just not english!

4:41 pm
hurshy

4:41 pm
redturtlehead
It was leprechaun icon day today, and I always found them a bit spooky. But I may be the only participant....so it looks odd.
4:41 pm
redturtlehead
we will be looking for le's
4:41 pm
jmcnrick
ah that is sure not the cheerful leprechaun of the commercial world
4:42 pm
redturtlehead
no, i wanted to be a bit original, but...being that I am the only one...it does seem odd.
4:42 pm
jmcnrick
i always found the drawings of the cute buggers did not jive with the stories for me either
4:43 pm
jmcnrick
i am sure others did it red but i am enraptured by my cape
4:43 pm

4:44 pm
jmcnrick

4:45 pm
jmcnrick
i was informed that they say timber rather than lumber
4:45 pm
hurshy

4:45 pm
redturtlehead
ahhhh odd, thanks hursh. now 10/11
4:45 pm
hurshy
oh no it was wildcat, not you, that said 4 le, i see.
4:45 pm
jmcnrick

4:45 pm
redturtlehead
and timbre is a word, just doesnt mean the same thing.
4:45 pm
jmcnrick
no they say timber
4:46 pm
bojazz
timbre is a muscial reference3, is it not?
4:46 pm
hurshy
but what about lumbering around? as in moving like a big oaf? don't they say that? and it could be lumbre, lumbring, etc
4:46 pm
redturtlehead

4:49 pm
hurshy

4:56 pm

4:57 pm
redturtlehead

4:57 pm
hurshy
you're a politician. always assume there's a mic on.
4:57 pm
redturtlehead
Well, you know Biden....It could have been worse.
4:58 pm
redturtlehead
Apparently Dick Cheney also used the F bomb in reference to a person in senate at one point in time...
4:58 pm
jmcnrick
never a good plan
4:58 pm
hurshy
i guess. i mean the content of his thought was not like, saying anything about anybody, so, i guess really it's not a f***ing big deal!
4:59 pm
jmcnrick
lol hursh
4:59 pm
redturtlehead
No, I thought Hurshy that it was just funny....especially when it made the news more prominently than anything newsworthy.
4:59 pm

COngratulations WILDCAT!!!!!! WHOOOOO HOOOOOO
5:00 pm
hurshy
and with all the talk about states' rights... i feel like the hot tub time machine has taken us all back 150 years!
5:00 pm
jmcnrick
i personally think the senators should have brought assault charges -- in these days of AIDs being transmitted with body fluids. . . .
5:01 pm
jmcnrick
only about 50 years hursh
5:01 pm
redturtlehead
The funny thing is that...I think in 20 years time or less, this will be something that people don't even talk about, they will just assume it was always that way...
5:01 pm
hurshy
did they talk about states' rights a lot then? i thought that was just a civil war thing, not civil rights mvmt.
5:02 pm
redturtlehead
definitely was a part of the civil rights movement.
5:02 pm
jmcnrick
the guys who stood in front of the school houses were states rights activists -- think George Wallace
5:02 pm
redturtlehead
I only know it hursh because I got to study the civil right movement for one entire year in my jr year of school.
5:02 pm
bojazz
state's rights was in issue in the 50's over here
5:03 pm
hurshy
in any case, states' rights seems to be code for we want the right to deny rights to some people in our state!
5:03 pm

5:04 pm
hurshy

5:04 pm
bojazz

5:06 pm
jmcnrick
why the pb? *reads red's post*
5:06 pm
hurshy
well *i* agree but i'm just acknowledging that not everyone does.
5:07 pm

welki
and? are you gazing at yourself?
6:22 pm
stidmama
welki, the only thing you MUST do right now is take care of yourself. And if playing a game helps, then play a game. If taking a warm bubble bath helps, then do that. And if you need to cry, or talk, or whatever, do those things.
6:23 pm
stidmama
oh joey -- no idea you were up for surgery! *worried mama look* do you have help at home so you don't overdo?
6:23 pm

my hubby is a doctor. did a study on a huge french catholic family where half of the 100+ first cousins had the same disease. when he went and did the genetic blood work, he discovered a lot of incest. and when he then spoke to the parents they told him the truth. for example, yes it was the child of this woman and her brother. yes it was an out of wedlock child. etc. he was in shock.

Jacula
I did wonder, torg...
8:45 pm
torgone
A line from The Simpsons ..
8:45 pm
torgone
Too bad about the cat fight ..
8:46 pm
torgone
"Hey Paris Hilton! I saw a disgusting part of your body on the internet - your face!"
8:47 pm
Jacula
Yes. Our cat's very territorial. I said to the vet, 'I thought neutering was supposed to calm cats down.' 'Think what he'd be like if he WASN'T neutered!' said the vet. That was something I didn't care to contemplate for long.
8:47 pm
Jacula
LOL, torg.
8:50 pm
Jacula
Hmm... I mention neutering and Torg goes very quiet. LOL
8:50 pm
crosshair
lol our 2 year iold male OWNS this house and rules with velvet paws,sad eyes and cute tricks that make you go awwww!'
8:50 pm
featherbee
lol jac
8:51 pm
Jacula
Hi Crossy. Our cat's about 10, we think. There is NOTHING 'cute' about him.
8:51 pm
Jacula
Hi feather.
8:52 pm
crosshair
we just lost our 15 year old kitty and are left with the 2 year old fixed male and a 5 year old fixed female
8:52 pm
Jacula
Was that a Torg I just heard?
8:53 pm
featherbee
darn, gotta reboot
8:53 pm
Jacula
Crossy - sorry about your loss.
8:53 pm
redturtlehead
hey all, I was going to change my icon, but not a fan of tomorrows.
8:53 pm
redturtlehead
On the 30th it will be TENROC day, suggested by FM, I think it will be very cool!
8:54 pm
Jacula
Oh, feather's off to put her boots back on again! Who's she going to kick? :-)
8:54 pm
redturtlehead
err tenrec.
8:54 pm
crosshair
np..we got her cremated,best idea ever...its still like she is part of the family
8:54 pm
Jacula
I was just going to ask what a tenroc is.
8:54 pm
crosshair
we have her ashes,her favorite food bowl and her fav toy all set up
8:55 pm
Jacula
Crossy - we did that with our female cat. She sits in a lovely carved box on the shelf next to the window and her favourite armchair with her smelly, tatty old toy mouse on the box.
8:56 pm
crosshair
lol we have our kitty in a nice cedar maple box all st up with her other things
8:57 pm
CadFan
We have a pet cemetery in the sunniest corner of the yard. Our Cat, and three dogs are all back there - and each has a small headstone - made from rocks in the yard and painted by my husband.
8:58 pm
crosshair
cre4mation and the box etc cost us 200 but it was worth it
8:58 pm
Jacula
I think I've said before on here that our female cat, after having to live rough for much of her early life, before she found me (aka Soft Touch), was very much an indoor kind of girl. Our male cat is an outdoors kind of guy. I think if we try to keep him in a box indoors when he 'does', the box would leap out of the window. I think we'll have to 'scatter' him in his favourite mouse-watching place.
8:59 pm
Jacula
Cad - we have one of those up in our little fruit orchard. It's full of rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, a gerbil, goldfish...
9:00 pm
Jacula
There is also a statue of St. Francis of Assissi watching over the graves.
9:02 pm
Jacula
The only pet who is not back home is our old dog. I was so upset and distressed when I had to take him on his final journey after nearly 18 years of companionship, that I forgot to ask for him back. I still can't believe I did that.
9:03 pm
Nef
We've burried 2 cats and our dog in our backyard; marked the cat's graves with catnip and the dogs with a nice strawberry garden (it's illegal for us to bury pets here)
9:03 pm
Nef
inour yards I mean
9:03 pm
Jacula
Having said that, and at the risk of sounding mad, he didn't really leave until our female cat moved in and he was sure we'd bonded. I'm sure you pet owners know what I mean.
9:05 pm
Jacula
Nef - I read a few years ago that it's illegal to bury pets in your garden here in UK now, in case they pollute the water supply. Apparently, you are supposed to contact someone to dispose of the remains, and pay for it.
9:06 pm
Nef
I wonder how that would pollute the water supply? Our yard has about 4-5 inches of topsoil and then it's clay, so I'm sure that our animals won't pollute the water. The clay is pretty compacted
9:07 pm
Jacula
Speaking of strawberries, I remember when we had about 18 rabbits and we'd been strawberry picking, my daughter decided to see if rabbits like strawberries. Next morning, having forgotten she'd fed ripe red fruits, she screamed in horror when the fluffy white rabbit appeared to be 'covered in blood'.
9:07 pm
Jacula
Ditto Nef.
9:08 pm
Jacula
Nef - she soon realised.
9:09 pm
Nef
but I can imagine it was still quite the scare for her!
9:09 pm
Jacula
Yes, it was.
9:10 pm
Nef
speaking of rabbits, I found we had some dead ones in the corner of the yard today. I don't know if it was the weather or what may have killed them (they were pretty decomposed). I wonder if they would also pollute your water supply if an animal just dies outside, Jac?
9:13 pm
Jacula
Nef - that stupid law was just another of the 'try to force the people to do what you say' thing the Labour Government has sneakily passed. They have turned the UK into a Nanny State, almost on a par with Orwell's book '1984'. Political correctness has got out of control and we have more CCTV cameras per square mile watching us than any other country in the world.
9:14 pm
Jacula
No, of course burying pets won't pollute the water supply, unless you chuck 'em down a well or into a spring or a drain.
9:14 pm
Nef
does that mean less crime too? Or just more intrusiveness?
9:14 pm
torgone
And more bad laws on the way Jacs .. Have you heard of the Digital Britain abomination?
9:14 pm
Jacula
Torg - No! Oh Lord! What next?
9:15 pm
Jacula
Nef - mostly more intrusiveness. Crime doesn't get any less because patriotism and looking out for your fellow man goes out of the window.
9:16 pm
Riverdance
Hi All - thought I would stop in and say Hi and see if anyone needed help
9:16 pm
torgone
Legislation being pushed through Parliament by entertainment industry lobbyists that stands to greatly curtail your rights ..
9:16 pm
Jacula
Hi Momgiving help.
9:17 pm
Riverdance
Ooh - we are in deep conversation tonight
9:17 pm
Jacula
Do go on, Torg...
9:17 pm
Jacula
Sorry Mom, I'm coming over all political.
9:17 pm
Riverdance
Thats OK - I need to back up in the log to see what is going on
9:19 pm
Nef
Is anyone here that was on earlier when I asked about how to get super glue off the plastic lens of my glasses? I'd like to report that the nail polish remover didn't work, and it didn't harm the glasses either
9:19 pm
torgone
So as not to clog up the chat Jacs .. See here:http://www.openrightsgroup.org/ca

Thanks Torg.

Thanks Torg.

It's nothing short of state-approved censorship ..
9:22 pm

hi gang...
9:22 pm
torgone
Heya Pini ..
9:23 pm
Pinikula
how goes it?
9:23 pm
torgone
It goes ..
9:23 pm
Pinikula
been there, done that sorta thing?
9:24 pm
Nef
okay for me; how about for you tonight?
9:24 pm
Pinikula
not too bad...spent some time in the ER late this afternoon/earlier this evening...co-worker took ill...I volunteered to take the rest of the afternoon off to take her in...
9:24 pm
Nef
OOOPS! Sorry. 18 left and 9 are D's
9:24 pm
Riverdance
Ok, I think I have caught up - we bury our pets in our yard so they can stay close to us. Our last dog that died was 10 years ago and our kids made a great stone to honor her. We have one that will pass soon (hopefully not but...) and will do the same. I talk to our old girl everytime I walk the yard. It is fitting! Politics - I dont care. My family that includes my pets I do. Crossy, sorry to hear you lost a family member.
9:25 pm
Jacula
Nef - you might need a little patience to get the superglue off your specs. Nail polish remover is the answer, but give the glue time to dissolve. It might need 3 or 4 goes. Then wipe with undiluted washing up liquid (not dishwasher solution, but for hand washing dishes) and then run under a warm tap(fawcet). Dry and then polish.
9:26 pm
Nef
that works for plastic lenses?
9:27 pm
Riverdance
Pini - you are a good friend - stressful for the friends as well - how are you doing
9:27 pm
Nef
I was using a tiny amount just on the super glued area, but I did try a number of times.
9:27 pm
Jacula
However, Nef, if you have a tint and/or anti-glare coating on the lenses you may need to get them redone. See your optician.
9:28 pm
Jacula
We have a thing in the UK called 'Sticky Stuff Remover'. It works miracles.
9:28 pm
Nef
I've already made an appt. for Fri AM
9:28 pm
Riverdance
Call the optometrist or where you got your glasses
9:28 pm
Pinikula
I'm doing fine...was keeping her distracted (she was experiencing a sharp pain in her lower right side); we were trying to deduce whether or not it's her gall bladder or appendix...she's still at the hospital; so I'm simply waiting for a phone call from her to see how she's doing and to pick her up if they release her.
9:28 pm
Nef
Hmmm, wonder if that's the same as GooGone?
9:28 pm
Riverdance
we have goo gone here - works great on artificial surfaces but I dont know about glasses
9:28 pm
Pinikula
sounds like it, Nef ;)
9:29 pm
Riverdance
Pini are you a nurse
9:29 pm
Pinikula
nope (thankfully)
9:30 pm
Nef
thankfully? Why do you say that, Pini?
9:30 pm
Riverdance
couldnt remember this week I had an alergic reaction to a new med and was telling my fellow babblers about it =cant remember who was on line
9:30 pm
Pinikula
No offense to nurses! I can't handle getting my blood drawn...
9:30 pm
Nef
I beleive I was on at that point Mom.
9:31 pm
Jacula
Nef - this might sound like a silly question, but is your nail polish remover an 'acetone free' one? Some are oil-based so as not do dry out your nails. It's the acetone you need to dissolve the glue.
9:31 pm
Riverdance
well I was pretty out of it that day but still played the game - addicted huh?
9:31 pm
Nef
it was a BP med, right (and I'm a nurse; talked about the old bee sting kit...)
9:32 pm
Riverdance
yes nef I remember
9:32 pm
Pinikula
not addicted! just a devoted player like the rest of us! LOL
9:32 pm
Riverdance
I am still looking alittle sunburned but OK
9:32 pm
Nef
Jac, I had to wait for our dtr. to come home to try it. she has both and brought them both up. neither worked
9:33 pm
Jacula
Nef - how long did you wait for it to work?
9:33 pm
Riverdance
I dont remember much from yesterday actually. Got myself so worked up.
9:33 pm
Jacula
3 - 5 mins is optimum time.
9:33 pm
Nef
Jac, I was using q-tips and would rub it on the glue then use a dry one and rub it off
9:34 pm
Riverdance
Have you gone online to check other remedies?
9:34 pm
stidmama
hello all
9:34 pm
stidmama
down to one earlier, one last fishy one.
9:34 pm
Riverdance
Hi Stid
9:35 pm
Nef
Mom, it's scary to have that happen. If it was a BP med; it may take a couple of days for your color to return to normal
9:35 pm
stidmama
pini! are you staying in a tent in our backyard in August? are you bringing Koda?
9:35 pm
Nef
hi again stid
9:35 pm
Pinikula
sounds like that might work, stid...and yes, if he's welcome along the way...
9:36 pm
stidmama
he's absolutely welcome. We don't have a fenced yard, but can figure something out (rural road, very little traffic -- another beagle next door)
9:36 pm
Pinikula
otherwise, I might be able to get my dau to let him camp her house with her 2 beagles...
9:37 pm
stidmama
okay, listing at one.
9:37 pm
Pinikula
He's good on a long leash (have one, will bring) and he can be kenneled at night (will bring that, too)
9:37 pm
stidmama
fishy fishy fishy... firewords!
9:37 pm
Pinikula
wtg stid! :)
9:37 pm

9:38 pm
Riverdance
congrats stid
9:39 pm
stidmama
so. jill wanted me to let everyone know that she is offline for a while. She isn't having good luck with her internet connection.
9:39 pm
Riverdance
so you are a group of friends here
9:39 pm
stidmama
how about you LBD? are you coming in August?
9:39 pm
Jacula
Anyway, don't talk to me about superglue. I once managed to glue my jumper to the edge of a kitchen work surface. Had to wriggle out of the jumper to get away and then use a razor blade to separate the jumper from the work surface. Another time, I superglued a smiley face stone disc onto a nail just outside my back door. I pressed it into place with my left forefinger for a minute. When the minute was up, my finger was also stuck. No one was home but me. I was not going to have the embarrassment of being in the local paper if the fire brigade had to rescue me and so, not even caring if my skin ripped, I applied some force with my other hand to free myself. It worked, but there was a hard patch of glue on the pad of my left index finger for about a week afterwards.
9:39 pm
Pinikula
so sorry to hear, stid...I hope it's resolved soon!
9:40 pm
stidmama
well yes, Mom -- we become friends here. Some of us haven't met in person (yet), but we keep hoping!
9:40 pm
stidmama
brb supper needs tending
9:40 pm
Jacula
I've also still got the jumper I got stuck in. 10 years on, it still has a tiny hard patch where the glue was.
9:40 pm
Pinikula
oh my, jac!!! * hiding superglue *
9:40 pm
Pinikula
whereabouts are you, mom?
9:41 pm
Nef
well, I have trifocals and should have waited for someone else to repair my glasses as I can't see a darn thin up close these days
9:41 pm
Riverdance
I am in New Hampshire - didnt know if you all came on together or met here. I am envious if you met here. I am new to this site and hope to meet many new friends
9:42 pm
Nef
got the glue smeared across the upper inner corner of the glass lens
9:42 pm
Pinikula
I met everyone here in Babbleland...
9:42 pm
Pinikula
...and the ones I've met in person as a result are stid and her mom, stidg ;)
9:42 pm

Pinikula

9:44 pm
Nef
Mom, welcome aboard. I've met all my fellow Babblers here except for 2 that I haven't *seen* here in several years and one that just came back after not being here for over ayear (I met those 3 on a different site and they told me about Babble)
9:44 pm

Well, if you ever get to the West Coast, Mom...look us west-coasters up!
9:46 pm
Nef
I've been playing since Aug. of '05 and this is probably one of the most up-beat group you will ever find on the internet
9:46 pm
Jacula
re clues - regretted? Reigned?
9:46 pm
Riverdance
there is no stress with timing = can chat if I want or not - people here are so friendly
9:46 pm
Jacula
Odd way of spelling what you did with a book?
9:46 pm
Pinikula
it's definitely one of the best I've found, Nef!
9:47 pm
Riverdance
thanks for the offer pini - coast to coast huh? I dont see that happening soon but we will keep our chat up and who knows
9:47 pm
Jacula
u word = ur4/5 - a bear.
9:47 pm
Pinikula
thx nef ;)
9:47 pm
Nef
and to re*** name something
9:47 pm
Pinikula
thx jac! (and I know that word)
9:47 pm
stidmama

9:48 pm
Nef
Mom, I'm going to a wedding in July in Montana and am hopefully going to meet some Babblers there
9:48 pm
Pinikula
that's what we do, Mom...just keep coming back for fun game and good friends...
9:48 pm
Jacula
re5/18 - what the film editor did again to put the foreign words on a film.
9:48 pm
Riverdance
I need to get to bed soon - early and busy day tomorrow - anyone need any help before I leave
9:48 pm
Pinikula
ooooh, just 2 more R's and they're all done! (thx jac)
9:48 pm
stidmama
YAY bigred!
9:48 pm
Pinikula
I should probably get something to eat and open the list...
9:49 pm
Riverdance
You are getting almost half way there Nef
9:49 pm
stidmama
I hope you get a chance to meet some babblers in person, Mom -- there are some on the east coast (more southerly though, the Boston area and the DC area) who get together sometimes
9:49 pm
Jacula
I need to get a dress turned up ready for a party on Saturday night, and the house dusted and polished for a visit from my cousin, who I haven't seen for years, on Sunday morning.
9:49 pm
stidmama
go pini go!
9:49 pm
Pinikula
ok, stid...back shortly...
9:49 pm
Riverdance
Boston is an hour and a half away. I was chatting with someone from Vermont that was about the same.
9:50 pm
Pinikula
g'night mom; don't work too hard, jac!
9:50 pm
stidmama
what fun, Jac! I hope you'll enjoy the party -- and the visit!
9:50 pm
Riverdance
Good Luck Jacula
9:51 pm
Riverdance
The best of nights all - sleep tight - poof
9:51 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams Mom
9:52 pm
Jacula
Stid _ I hope so, too. I just wish social events didn't hide for months and then all come at once. I was asked out for a meal on the night of the party, a family birthday meal. The party we'd already accepted the invitation to is for my Other Half's niece's 16th birthday.
9:53 pm
Jacula
'Night Mom.
9:53 pm
Nef
busy weekend Jac.
9:53 pm
stidmama
I know how that is, Jac -- this two weeks that I "would" have had vacation ended up with just a few days (that's how I made it up to Canada with Mother).
9:53 pm
Jacula
Stid - yes, I saw that.
9:55 pm
Jacula
The party is '7.30 'til late', which probably means until about 3am. Then there's 30 mins to get home. Ho on earth will I be awake and bright and breezy at 11am when my cousin arrives?
9:56 pm
stidmama
don't stay for the whole thing???
9:56 pm
Jacula
Even if we leave at midnight, get home at 12.30, I get to sleep about 1.30am, if I'm lucky and no hot flushes...
9:56 pm
Jacula
stid - it's not up to me. I'm not the driver and it isn't my family.
9:57 pm
Jacula
I need an hour minimum,preferably 2 before I feel sociable in the morning. Plus 2 giant cups of tea and a Babble fix.
9:57 pm
stidmama
oh, that makes it hard, Jac.
9:58 pm
Jacula
I'm being defeatist here. I'm sure I will cope fine.
9:58 pm
Nef
Well, DH made reservations for us (using a gift card from a retirement gift of mine) for this fancy old fashioned hotel about 70 miles south of the Cities for Friday night and then made reservations for us to catch a bus (Sat. AM) to go to a special honors ceremony for a men's club buddy of his that is 80 miles North of the Cities! He just realized tonight that it wouldn't work!
9:58 pm
stidmama
retirement, Nef???
9:58 pm
stidmama
oh -- that seems like a lot of "back and forthing" as my mother would say
9:59 pm
Jacula
stid - I know just was Stidgmere means.
9:59 pm
Jacula
*what not was
9:59 pm
stidmama
you usually do (cope) Jac -- but in the meantime, it's not a lot of fun to think about!
10:00 pm
Nef
I had to retire from ICU nursing when I injured my foot, stid. That was back in 2007, the hospital goofed and didn't give me a tea, nor did they give me the retirement gift pkg and honor certificate til last year.
10:00 pm
stidmama
oh -- I had missed that, Nef. what a bummer, to miss your big party.
10:01 pm
Nef
(I never did get the tea, however) But $300 worth of gift certificates was a nice treat
10:02 pm
Jacula
stid - the most not fun thing to think about is having to listen to the type of music 16-year-olds like all night!
10:02 pm
Nef
My co-workers gave me a very nice party at Olive Garden restraunt; and several gifts, including a14 inch tall Lladro (sp?) statue of a nurse
10:03 pm
Jacula
I do hope there's not too much 'gangsta rap' as that makes me want to kill people and I'd hate to be a party pooper.:-(
10:03 pm
harpjane
hello 60 to go
10:03 pm
stidmama
hey harp!
10:03 pm
Nef
Jac, maybe the driver of the car will need to leave early because of the musicv?
10:03 pm
stidmama
rofl Jac!
10:03 pm
Jacula
Hi Harp. Do you think you could possibly be around to play calming harp music into my ear on Saturday night?
10:04 pm
stidmama
glad you had a nice party at the restaurant -- I really like Lladro pieces, they are quite elegant. Used to have a goose but it was broken in one of the many moves
10:05 pm
harpjane
well, I'm playing Passion Sunday music on Saturday night, will that calm you down?
10:05 pm
Jacula
Nef - it all just washes over the car driver, music wise. If he gets a dose of UB40's Red Red Wine, he's happy. The song, in this instance, since he can't drink due to being the driver.
10:06 pm
Jacula
harp -em6, often spelled im6, is to stain (as with blood).
10:06 pm
Nef
em6/30= em +odd way to spell a beer (home ****)
10:06 pm
stidmama
okie dokie. I am heading out to eat and rest a bit. see you-all tomorrow! *poof*
10:07 pm
Jacula
'Bye stid.
10:07 pm
harpjane
thanks,
10:07 pm
Jacula
Well, Harp... I'm really not sure about that.
10:08 pm
Jacula
The Passion Sunday music, I meant.
10:09 pm
Jacula
I will probably need the calming sound of gentle waterfalls in lush green valleys. You know the sort of thing.
10:09 pm
harpjane
it's a bit on the solemn side....
10:09 pm
harpjane
does the ve7 build off the 4?
10:10 pm
Jacula
I will need something like that to counteract the 'smack up ma bitch' rap stuff. I really do not want to go on a killing spree and end up smashing all their cds and throwing the player out of the window if switching the power off doesn't work. LOL
10:11 pm
Jacula
Harp - no it doesn't.
10:11 pm
harpjane
didn't think so
10:11 pm
Jacula
ve7 is lush greenery or vegetation.
10:12 pm
Jacula
Anagram for an impolite vicar.
10:13 pm
Jacula
le7 = the animal that is le5, whose plural is le6, with a vowel before the last letter.
10:14 pm
harpjane
to record something again, holly
10:14 pm
Jacula
le7 means the unexorcised ghosts of a dead family.
10:14 pm
Jacula
Holly - re5.18 is what the film editor did again to put the foreign subtitles on the film.
10:15 pm
Jacula
harp - mu6 is killing.
10:15 pm
HollyF
Thank you thank you thank you
10:15 pm
harpjane
lol thanks
10:16 pm

Or, rather, unlawful killing. Homicide, I believe it's called in USA.
10:16 pm
Jacula
Holly, y/w

It's amazing how many words cannot have the 're' prefix' and how many you've never heard or used in your life that can.
10:19 pm
Jacula
Let's give thanks to SKY TV, the medium that gave the UK access to what was being watched in the USA, and so helped us understand some of our differences.
10:19 pm
harpjane
it's pretty random if you ask me
10:20 pm
Jacula
Harp - it seems random with the dictionary this site uses, but if you get yourself a very good, many-volumed dictionary, and add a smattering of knowledge of other languages and the history of language, then it's not so random.
10:21 pm
Jacula
Keep going, Nef.
10:21 pm
harpjane
well i have no use for a dictionary that doesn't work in babble.....
10:23 pm
Jacula
Well done, Nef!

br 5/18?
10:24 pm
Jacula
Harp - I'm just fascinated by languages, words, similarities etc., but maybe that's because I'm a writer.
10:24 pm
harpjane

10:24 pm
Jacula
Sounds like what you sweep the floor with, Harp.
10:25 pm

10:27 pm

10:27 pm
Nef
good night, all. DH is asking for help again
10:27 pm
Jacula
I think we Babblers are very different from professional Scrabble players. They just look at the numbers/scores and most don't care what the word actually mean.
10:28 pm
Jacula
'Night Nef.
10:30 pm
harpjane
I'm not very good at Scrabble but I like crossword puzzles
10:30 pm
Jacula
What would a Babble world tournament look like, I wonder? Would we all chat too much to play seriously, or would be come over all secretive and not give clues>
10:31 pm
Jacula
I came here via doing crosswords, Harp.
10:31 pm
harpjane
we would all stand around and worship dr god and lickety
10:32 pm
Jacula
Harp - speak for yourself.
10:32 pm

DR God would get a thank you and a peck on the cheek for starting this and for keeping it going.
10:33 pm
harpjane
done and g'night
10:33 pm
harpjane
thanks for the clues!
10:34 pm
Jacula
I wouldn't dare give Lickety a peck on the cheek, lest MrP whack me one. LOL. Anyway, BJ was king before him, and, to be honest, I can usually find my way through the grids, due to BJ's early tutoring and Babble experience now without a list giver.

10:43 pm
Pinikula
it wasn't intentional! ;)
10:44 pm
Jacula
Anyway, most clues posted help someone along the way, even after we've gone. That's true of Babble and of life. LOL
10:44 pm
Pinikula
of course, jac!
10:46 pm
Jacula
ps5 = fake. Often ends with an 'o'.

10:54 pm
Jacula
cyber - last I saw from her on Facebook ws that she would be back amongst us soon withno broken bones.
10:54 pm
cybernan
that is good news -- poor girl, she has had so many health issues.
10:55 pm
cybernan
off til the flip :) - bye
10:59 pm
Jacula
I can only think that if she though anything as she fell off the plank, that she wouldn't break the arm all the ops had finally put right. I think he might have brittle bone disesae or something like it. Tjhe breaks she got should not have occurred in a healthy person. Though some anomalies do sometimes happen.
11:05 pm
Jacula
I'm off too. See you all next grid, UK time.

Pinikula
When I got to her mom's house to pick up an overnight bag (just in case), mom told me they'd released her; so I stopped by the store on the way, picked her up and delivered her, stayed a few minutes to "catch up" on what was happening and told them if she needed to go back any time between now and morning to just give me a call ;)
11:45 pm
