Jillibus - pretty fish. Many years ago, when DD was young, we bought four little goldfish for $1. (total - they were from the 'feeder' tank). Two lived for about eight years, grew to be about seven inches. A friend told us they were koi - who knows, we just thought they were the prettiest fish on earth.

And that's it for me -- 32 left for tomorrow.

They would've cost much more than 25cents, if we'd purchased them as koi. Anyway, even as goldfish we thought them special.

The dictionary says that 'odas' are rooms in a harem, yet this puzzle rejects them

2:21 am

how narrowminded of the puzzle, lawyer-1, and hi, good to see you.

2:21 am

lawyer-1

I have all of these odas in my palace, yet the dictionary says they do not exist!

2:21 am

lawyer-1

hi, sprite

2:21 am

rubyfoo

we certainly had them in my harem! lol

2:22 am

we could fill volumes with the words enable rejects. But then again, other volumes with the words it insists are real words, while we disagree.

2:23 am

rubyfoo

true, true

2:23 am

I wonder if the puzzle would also reject seraglio if the letters were there

there is a you tube video of my son's last band in which the lead guitar died ladt week. Is anybody interested in the link? It's rock and roll and John is the pale one

2:45 am

I'll try it again

2:49 am

I have to go deal with nasty DH!

2:50 am

2:51 am

rubyfoo

then do I add the rest to it?

2:51 am

herinfernallady

no if you wish to share the video this is the URL to use on Babble

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I will fool around with it and try to do something

2:52 am

herinfernallady

Ruby hun all you need to do is copy this URL and it is yours. Did you want me to FB message you?

2:55 am

lynxxx

Sorry, called away. Mr Williams Infernal?

2:56 am

herinfernallady

Carl Williams

2:56 am

lynxxx

ooh CARL Williams. Yeah - appears to be no great loss, what goes round etc

2:57 am

herinfernallady

Yet Channel 9 seems to feel the need to update what is on tv tonight and put a ''this was his life'' show.

2:57 am

lynxxx

how tasteless

2:58 am

herinfernallady

yep. Apparently it is news. I had to deal with the smug git when I worked in the courts.

3:14 am

herinfernallady

did everyone go away?

3:15 am

lynxxx

I'm still mucking around

3:16 am

herinfernallady

I would like someone to do my homework fetch dinner and feed me and put me to bed

3:22 am

rubyfoo

hello herin, are you still there? I had to deal with DH's sarcasm

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Yes Ruby

3:23 am

rubyfoo

if you'll deal with his sarcasm, I'll feed you, do your laundry etc.

3:23 am

herinfernallady

awww. Ruby my way of dealing with that is usually telling them zip it

3:24 am

lynxxx

Don't deal with it Ruby, take away his audience and leave the room

3:25 am

rubyfoo

he is so mean-pirited. He was nice for my birthday, 80% of the time, but has reverted to the usual. For example, I had left a huge cauliflower outside on the deck in a cool spot because it wouldn't fit in the fridge. Then I forgot about it. Because I am afraid of worms, I asked him to throw it away for me and he had to make fun of me in a really nasty way!

3:25 am

rubyfoo

I try to do that, but I was in the middle of doing something and couldn't do my usual fade away....

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Ruby leave

3:26 am

herinfernallady

tell him bugger off

3:26 am

rubyfoo

it's not like I'm some simpering little flower; I'm the one who deals with spiders, snakes, bats, injured birds, etc.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

No place to go, Herin, and it's my house....

3:27 am

lynxxx

I think I would be inviting him to leave as he is obviously unhappy with you. He doesn't do anything for you does he?

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Well tell him out. Stick him in a nursing home. Sell up move back to USA be free. One of our darling older babblers recently became free

3:28 am

rubyfoo

I've already asked him to leave but he is pretty old (84) and we don't have enough money for him to buy another place. He does all the grocery shopping, lawn and garbage duty.

3:29 am

lynxxx

OK then tell him that you will not be cooking or looking after him anymore unless he can be civil - and that you will be spending all your time in the studio/downstairs

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I think you're right in principle, Herin, and if I was younger and had more energy AND didn't love this place so much, I would sell out and leave. But I like it here much better than the US!

3:30 am

herinfernallady

You can speak to Social Services the local counsels there is help

3:31 am

rubyfoo

you are right, Lynxx, that's what I said this AM. Now he is trying to be nice; now that I'm thoroughly upset.... thank God for my babble friends who listen when I rant....

3:31 am

herinfernallady

And I am not saying that you don't care about him but there is services that can help.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

OK, my friends, I will stop whining and look at my tulips and my pups!

3:32 am

lynxxx

be strong Ruby, you are much younger and fitter than he - you will win this battle and the war if you can keep strong

3:32 am

rubyfoo

that what my sister (in NY) says, that Ishould just stick it out and outlive him!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

now -- back to the url! I am scrolling down to poor, patient Herin's instructions.....

3:33 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I will bring it up

3:34 am

rubyfoo

you gals are wonderful! You can't imagine how much I appreciate your words!

3:34 am

herinfernallady

Ruby: http://tinyurl.com/y78qbxa it is not the same Tiny as before but here you go

3:35 am

3:39 am

herinfernallady

One you are not useless. DOn't make me tell you off

3:40 am

rubyfoo

go ahead, I deserve it! DH just called me from his study upstairs to tell me that he had heard the cuckoo. He is trying to be nice now, but cann't bring himself to apologize....

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I've only seen the cuckoo once, but he must have a nest in the field above the house

3:41 am

rubyfoo

our bird life is lovely, not spectacular like in Australia, but very interesting to me, nonetheless, because it's all different from places I've lived in the US

3:42 am

rubyfoo

and since the house is surrounded by heges, lots of shrubbery and trees, there are many many nests this year; at dusk it's wonderfully noisy!

3:42 am

that was hedges* and rodent* -- poopy typing this AM

or cute outfits with tails and round ears?

3:46 am

herinfernallady

Ok what is with girls singing in an American accent when they are Australian

3:47 am

herinfernallady

Hi Mari

3:47 am

rubyfoo

do they wear their pants low, too?

3:47 am

herinfernallady

no

3:48 am

rubyfoo

the ones who amaze me with their American accents in films are Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman. They do the accents perfectly!

3:48 am

herinfernallady

she is a cute little 12 year old very good but seriously groan

3:49 am

rubyfoo

that's really too bad because Australian accents are charming. BTW, Nicole Kidman/Hugh Jackman's epic Australia is on this coming Saturday. Is it gorgeous?

3:49 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Are there regional Australian accents?

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Don't know haven't seen it not into Romancy stuff

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I'll watch anything, as long as it's in English. Not a lot of choices on French TV, even with a satllite!

3:52 am

rubyfoo

hah, I just remembered an ec4/6 babblet *proud of myself*

3:52 am

rubyfoo

also an ea4/5 one. I guess I'm learning

3:52 am

herinfernallady

HI HAz. Yes there are Haz.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

now if I could get fireworks more than once every two months, I'd be happy

3:53 am

rubyfoo

hello haz!

3:53 am

lynxxx

Hi Haz. Queensland and South Australian accents are different from the rest of us I think. SA can be very "English" and Qld very very slow with a higher inflection at the end of sentences

3:53 am

rubyfoo

poor herin has been listening to me whine for an hour, but no more

3:54 am

rubyfoo

it is such a huge country, I'm not surprised. Even tiny France has strong reginal accents

3:54 am

Haz1558

Hello! I remember reading somewhere that the accent didn't differ much, but I didn't quite believe it. Here, accent can change within 30 miles.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

In England, it's also largely a class thing, right? It surely is in France.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

In the US, it's mostly regional, but very definite and recognizable

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Haz for instance Top North Queensland natives really do talk like Steve Irwin.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

and southern women often demean themselves with their accents, pronouncing one-syllable words with three

3:56 am

herinfernallady

everything up there is soooo slow.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

like in the American south

3:56 am

Haz1558

It's a class thing to a certain extent, ruby, not just in England but all over the British Isles. You tend to judge someone by their accent to an extent, but it's probably less prevalent than it used to be. There's a bit of dumbing down going on!

3:56 am

herinfernallady

I sound like my sisters even though i am adopted I sound alike to them but more English

3:56 am

lynxxx

demean? - I love the US southern accents - especially on guys

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I lived in a small city in upstate NY with its very own accent: merry, Mary and marry all sounded exactly the same. We called it the Binghamton speech test!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

it's better on guys; the women tend to try to sound stupid to make the men puff up

4:01 am

herinfernallady

o dear someone I know needs an assignment Do I help or not

4:01 am

rubyfoo

hard or easy?

4:02 am

rubyfoo

are you feeling charitable or have you used up your orning quotient?

4:03 am

herinfernallady

not charitable

4:04 am

herinfernallady

considering mine was 12 pages long

4:04 am

rubyfoo

ooph!

4:04 am

herinfernallady

Well yer so not really

4:05 am

lynxxx

you are thinking about giving them an entire assignment?

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Lying my butt off saying I screwed the whole thing. Heck no Lynxx trying to dig myself out of it

4:05 am

rubyfoo

how about giving a VERY slim outline or meager suggestions....

4:06 am

lynxxx

I think your white lies are in order

4:06 am

lynxxx

BBS

4:06 am

herinfernallady

Well see if I give a slim outline it is giving the answers as it is one of those you should read the book kind of thing. And I am trying not to stuff my life up on my own

4:07 am

herinfernallady

right fibbed my arse off

4:07 am

rubyfoo

then just day no! Or tell her to buy a "classic comic" or cliff notes

4:07 am

rubyfoo

good for you!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

say*

4:07 am

herinfernallady

Ruby it is one of those things that if I give slim outline to I may as well write it for you. SIgh

4:07 am

rubyfoo

don't do it then

4:07 am

herinfernallady

It is a CL essay.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

CL?

4:08 am

herinfernallady

sorry Contract Law.

4:08 am

herinfernallady

Forgot what head space I was in

4:08 am

definitely over my head!

4:08 am

herinfernallady

didn't do it.

4:09 am

rubyfoo

good!

4:09 am

herinfernallady

I know. I said I screwed the essay. Cheating can get you expelled and I don't trust that she wouldn't verbatim it.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Let's face it, if you do the work for others, you're not doing them any favours in the end. If they don't know the information themselves, what's the point other than to get them out of trouble short term?

4:10 am

herinfernallady

Exactly Haz. I told her to use Google Books as it is a legitimate source for books and she did the huh what is that'' shhes

4:11 am

herinfernallady

There is certain people I tell or show essay work to. Those that I know wont screw me in the end.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

imagine if she used yours verbatim! that would be awful!

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Besides it is how you write the essay and how you think because it is law it isn't 1 plus 1 equals 2.

4:12 am

herinfernallady

brb food needed

4:12 am

rubyfoo

and if she can't do it, maybe she's chosen the wrong field

4:13 am

if you could stand a spicy chicken salad, I have plenty!

4:13 am

4:14 am

Haz1558

I remember one glorious occasion in first form Latin. The Latin teacher picked up the homework books and gave out the girls' books. He then picked up one book, named the boy and asked 'Who did you get your homework from?' The boy confesses it was another boy. The next boy was asked and so it went on. One boy had done the homework, the rest had copied it. The teacher thundered for ages about how he was not stupid!

4:14 am

4:25 am

Sheesh, I did it again. And the coffee in the PB is COLD

TY Mich, I needed that one.

Yeh, I'm glad he'll be getting home with only a 2 day delay. He is going to be a whole week late for the start of his semester - and he's been away over 5 weeks already! I miss my boy!

Well, he has to fly right off to start Yeshiva again, but he'll be close by and will come back home for the weekend.

6:42 am

Atalante

I wrote a post on facebook last night saying "I'm bored. Entertain me with random trivia". The thread is now 62 comments long and we all learnt random useless facts!

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Ata I did think of another random fact today but I forgot.

6:43 am

Atalante

*glee* I just changed my icon. Have a look :D

6:43 am

crosshair

random fact: did you know you can burn 76 calories per hour by banging your head on a desk?

6:44 am

crosshair

and it fees so good when you stop

6:44 am

herinfernallady

Really I need to do that

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Ata what did you do to your wrist?

6:46 am

herinfernallady

O Ata that looks bad

6:46 am

lynxxx

Stew is too smart, will ignore me sitting in the lounge and go and scratch on my daughter's door for her to go let him out. And I didn't even train him to do that. Good boy!

6:46 am

Atalante

what a clever boy!!

6:46 am

Atalante

it's getting better now finally. yay!

6:47 am

crosshair

yaa for ata!

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Brilliant Lynxx.

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Cross would a wall work too?

6:47 am

crosshair

just for that you get extra bacon

6:47 am

crosshair

yes,a wall is good as well,but do it at a wall stud so you do not put a hole in the wall

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Nah I have brick walls no studs in this ouse

6:48 am

crosshair

brick is even better!

6:48 am

herinfernallady

brilliant

6:49 am

lynxxx

oops - careful yr boyfriend doesn't read that Infernal

6:49 am

crosshair

6:49 am

crosshair

brick

6:49 am

crosshair

perhaps a sky blue

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Grin Lynxx. He is out and he knows that he is my stud

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Cross my last house had a blue bedroom

6:57 am

lynxxx

I am so over these pathetic attempts of Christine Nixon bashing. If she was a guy it would not happen. I don't know why we have this tall poppy syndrome in Australia

6:59 am

lynxxx

(ignore me unless you are in Victoria)

6:59 am

Atalante

tell us the story!

7:01 am

Atalante

then we can be outraged with you

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx. I like how the whole bush fires was a complete CF and yet it is the Police Coms fault because she left her post and did a couple of things when there was no communication

7:02 am

lynxxx

Christine Nixon, heavier (ie not attractive, what a sin!) smart woman made head of Police in Victoria - cleaned it up a lot (made a heap of enemies in the police force - corrupt types) made the mistake of having dinner out with husband and 2 friends on the night of Black Saturday last year. She left control of the joint emergency forces with her 2IC.

7:05 am

Atalante

not the cleverest thing to do, but still!

7:08 am

herinfernallady

Ata it was a minor ''sin'' compared to the ''Hey No worries what fire '' communication or lack of

7:09 am

lynxxx

Agreed, but it's a beat-up. For goodness sake, over a year ago. the woman has done an amazing job as head of the Reconstruction Authority (when in fact she was going to retire after her Police Commissioners time was over). We have this terrible need to find fault with our successful people

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx Reggi D just ''binned'' that argument on TV

7:10 am

crosshair

mmm,trying something different here , using those big middle pieces of light rye bread toasting them under the broiler with a light garlic, butter then laying the western omelette on top and serving it open face:0

7:10 am

Atalante

we really do

7:11 am

lynxxx

what IS a broiler?

7:11 am

herinfernallady

It is like Peter Garrett and the insulation Fubar.

7:11 am

crosshair

we had the same thing here ladies,we had a police chief her name of jullian fantino,he was the best,they made life hell so he moved on,now they are begging him to run for mayer lol

7:12 am

crosshair

a broiler is a oven element for fast toasting or browning

7:12 am

crosshair

i used it cause those rye bread slices are too big for the toaster

7:13 am

Atalante

I need to make some eggs. brb

10:54 am

crosshair

mom,you love to fold and put clothes away as well? if so common over;0

10:54 am

Mom

I do, Crossy

10:55 am

EvaNadine

the hem of my pants today could really use a good ironing.
dear fiance has been doing the laundry, but he has a tendency to let things sit in the dryer, where they become rather wrinkly...
alas, i didnt notice the hem until i was already here at work...

10:56 am

Mom

Downy makes a wrinkle reducer spray. packed that with son when he went away to college

10:56 am

crosshair

lol eva,the way i do laundry is one step up from banging them on a rock and using the old sunlight soap bar lol

10:56 am

Atalante

what's i - i - ironing?

10:56 am

EvaNadine

yes, i still keep some of that around for the lightly-wrinkled items that i dont feel like ironing. i think this fabric needs actual heat. heh

10:56 am

EvaNadine

may try wetting them in the loo + seeing if the hem dries better...

10:56 am

FMitch

*passes smelling slats to Ata* an unknown teritory for her.

10:57 am

Atalante

as unknown a territory as typing is for you?

10:57 am

Mom

oh Crossy, I loved it when we had a wringer washer.

10:57 am

FMitch

*salt rather than slat* but maybe slats would be a good idea?

10:57 am

crosshair

ata.. what is this i-i-i-roon thing they keep talking bout?

10:57 am

Mom

mom still has it but doesn't use it any longer

10:57 am

Mom

surely we can barter skills to get things done that we dont want to do ourselves?

10:59 am

Mom

he wanted to straighten his hair Ata

10:59 am

Atalante

*has the normal english horror of electrical things in bathrooms*

11:00 am

Don't all rush at once.

Form an orderly queue.

Haz1558

Hello!

11:04 am

FMitch

Shall we add a tiara to that Ata?

11:04 am

Atalante

why not

11:04 am

FMitch

:)

11:04 am

Atalante

240v even!

11:05 am

Haz1558

Is our nice electrical system being criticised? Should I be getting indignant?

11:06 am

Atalante

Haz, have *you* read Alan Garner's childrens books? Weirdstone of Brisingamen, Elidor etc. If Mum read them to me ...

11:06 am

FMitch

Haz did you listen to the BBC this am. *sheesh*

11:06 am

Haz1558

No, I must confess that I haven't. Does that make me deprived?

11:06 am

Haz1558

What happened to the BBC? Obviously I'm out of the loop.

11:06 am

Atalante

you're both hopeless!!

11:07 am

FMitch

Ata if you had said Wierdstone and Eliador earlier I would have got it as i still have my school book copies of those!

11:07 am

Haz1558

It's only me that's hopeless!

11:07 am

Atalante

*rolls eyes* I KNEW you'd have read them!!

11:08 am

FMitch

Haz - was just interesting to hear the point of view of the NI people re the election.

11:08 am

jan

Odd that Enable is ok with pinot but not syrah...

11:08 am

Atalante

well, Haz, you should read them :P

11:08 am

Haz1558

Oh - what did they say? 'Not another blessed election'?

11:08 am

Good Enough

enable has a very dicerning palate

11:09 am

jan

What? Cote Roti isn;t good enough?

11:10 am

FMitch

The impression is that they are not that interested as the parliament that affects them is in NI rather than in England. But it might be interesting come a hung parliament if that happens.

11:10 am

KatieMcG

afternoon everyone

11:11 am

Good Enough

i'm not saying i agree jan

11:11 am

FMitch

Hi Katie
Back in a bit as food is cooking.

11:11 am

Haz1558

That would sound about right, FM. We do tend to feel a bit distant from all the political stuff in Westminster especially since up until now we can't vote for the normal parties - things are beginning to change a bit now, but we're a bit overloaded with democracy sometimes.

11:11 am

Atalante

hi katie!

11:12 am

Haz1558

Hello, Katie!

11:12 am

Good Enough

the only thing consistant about enable is his inconsistancy

11:12 am

KatieMcG

what a lovely welcome :-) My laptop is broken so having a quick babble before hubby gets home

11:13 am

rururocks

anyone have the ce 6?

11:13 am

Haz1558

Did you throw the laptop in a fit of pique after discovering that you can't fly away somewhere exotic in the next week?

11:13 am

Atalante

I'm going to the Scillies on Saturday :) By boat.

11:14 am

Haz1558

ce6 - It looks like a plural word. Or 'those' in Spanish (masc pl)

11:14 am

Haz1558

C plus those, that should be.

11:14 am

FMitch

Just waiting for the kitchen timer to go off

Why are you going to the Scillies Ata?

11:14 am

Haz1558

How long will you be away, Ata?

11:14 am

rururocks

muchas gracias senora

11:15 am

Haz1558

De nada, senor.

11:15 am

KatieMcG

I am still trying to be optimistic about next weeks exotic estination, might even do some packing later lol, BinL did a reinstall of vista using a disk he had which turned out not to be an authorised copy so now we have to buy another one. Honestly I wish we hadn't bothered in the first place.

11:15 am

Atalante

2 weeks! Because it's nice there.

11:15 am

Atalante

Bin Laden fixes your computers?

11:16 am

herekittykitty

Fireworks!

11:16 am

Haz1558

Well done, herekit.

11:16 am

KatieMcG

it feels like it ata, it REALLY feels like it!

11:16 am

KatieMcG

congrats herekitty

11:16 am

Atalante

yay kitty!

11:16 am

rururocks

Katie has the special Taliban model

11:17 am

Haz1558

So, the moral of the story is, don't let Bin Laden fix your computers with a dodgy disc.

11:17 am

KatieMcG

I think Alex needs to be advised to hide in a cave if I get hold of hime!!

11:17 am

Atalante

Windows Talivista

11:18 am

Atalante

really, D wanted to go on holiday so I chose somewhere I love before he could choose somewhere odd

11:18 am

sciencegeek

and before he could invite the evil one? LOL

11:18 am

Atalante

he doesn't like her any more. LMAO

11:19 am

Haz1558

At least you can be sure of getting there. Unless Alex Bin Laden gets to hear of it and sabotages the ferry.

11:19 am

KatieMcG

good idea to get in first I always think, although hubby and I generally want the same sort of holiday anyway. We have the one week and then the August one booked and know what we are doing for the two next year, we like to work in advance lol

11:20 am

Haz1558

This is all Icelandic volcano permitting? The joy merchants are saying it could keep going for years.

11:20 am

Atalante

did want to go on the helicopter (which I'm guessing might still be ok as it only flies at a few thousand feet) but they load up everyone while the rotors are going - it's noisy and loud and scary and I don't think Hobbit would like it

11:20 am

Haz1558

Plug her ears and put on her sleeping mask, Ata....

11:21 am

KatieMcG

I am taking the ignore it and it will go away approach peppered with panic like mad to the volcano issue.

11:21 am

Atalante

so we're going on the boat. D will have to look after the dog while I sit outside looking green

11:21 am

Haz1558

Which continent are the Beckhams currently inhabiting?

11:22 am

KatieMcG

according to Heat last week they were in the UK, but who knows

KatieMcG

*such a mind of useful information*

11:22 am

rururocks

heat?

11:22 am

Haz1558

Of all the luck! There I was thinking they could be marooned in the States for the foreseeable future.

11:23 am

KatieMcG

a tacky celeb magazine over here

11:23 am

Haz1558

'Heat' - a very serious magazine with intellectual articles. The best people read it.

11:23 am

KatieMcG

scoop last week was that he wanted them all to come back for good :-)

11:23 am

Atalante

Jordan loves it

11:23 am

KatieMcG

ran an advert that the more intelligent you were the higher your need for gossip - worked for me lol

11:24 am

KatieMcG

They really hate her, every week there is a demolition story about her, I assume she doesn't re** it

11:25 am

Atalante

ok, Peter Andre loves it. Maybe?

11:25 am

KatieMcG

Ata, why are you wearing a pink feather thing in your photo?

11:25 am

Atalante

1920s party!

11:25 am

KatieMcG

Yep Heat is def team Andre, he gives them loads of interviews to keep it that way

11:26 am

rururocks

what's with the hand wraps?

11:26 am

KatieMcG

phew I thought we would need to consider sectioning

11:26 am

Haz1558

Did you Charleston?

11:26 am

Atalante

actually, yes!

11:26 am

Haz1558

Hooray!

11:27 am

Norma

Katie just been talking to Kim it looks as though the midlands airports are opening tomorrow so it looks as though they are ok to fly on Thursday

11:27 am

Haz1558

Remember 'The House of Eliot'? I loved the fashions in that show.

11:27 am

Atalante

it was an amazing party. about 1000 people there, of which about 950 must have been in full 1920s gear

11:28 am

Atalante

it was held in Anthony Blunt's old London townhouse!

11:28 am

KatieMcG

I know I phoned her to let her know as it came on sky news when i was working from home. I hope to goodness she gets away, no-one needs the stress she has been through just to get on holiday

11:28 am

Haz1558

Had the other 50 not read their invitations properly or were they just spoilsports?

11:28 am

Atalante

spoilsports!

11:30 am

Norma

What a relief all round.. are you still coming over on Wednesday ???

11:30 am

sciencegeek

sc 6/24 is to make a harsh remark (not gerund ending)

11:30 am

KatieMcG

could I have a clue for the sc 6/24 please

11:30 am

Haz1558

Would anyone like a clue for sc6? I've just had a feeling that someone might like one.

11:31 am

rururocks

*oh goody*

11:31 am

KatieMcG

yep if that is OK. I am in Corby so might be about 8pm if that's ok

11:31 am

Norma

FIREWORKS

11:31 am

KatieMcG

congrats norma

11:31 am

Haz1558

sc6/24 - most often seen in gerund/descriptive form. In that form, it's the sort of comment that might wound or hurt, be slightly sarcastic perhaps.

11:31 am

Norma

That would be fine just let us know xx

11:31 am

Norma

Thanks

11:31 am

Haz1558

Nothing like I would ever say. Not now that I'm all diplomatic.

11:32 am

Or, add a male personal pronoun to the end of the s plus feline sc4/5

11:34 am

11:39 am

Trifioso

quick update from earlier chat: the spanish club from norwell high school never did get to go on the april vacation trip to spain. All 38 students are out the money, too, as the tour group will not refund in cases of acts of god....

11:41 am

Haz1558

It's been a time of disappointment for so many. Lots of people are trapped abroad trying to get home.

11:41 am

Atalante

at least a lot of oinsurance companies aren't treating it as an act of god

11:41 am

Trifioso

hmm. yes. we have two pepple from our church stuck overseas, one in Rome, and one in Moscow. Think I might prefer rome...

Haz1558

Thank goodness you noticed. The diplomat was arguing with the grammar freak...

12:04 pm

Atalante

I wouldn't have mentioned it if you weren't here! I knew you'd be swooning

12:05 pm

Haz1558

I had to grip the chair hard.

12:05 pm

Atalante

I swear my keyboard changes what my brain wants to type to what it feels like typing

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Naughtly keyboard!

12:06 pm

Haz1558

It must come from the same factory as FM's.

12:07 pm

Atalante

probably

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Have I typed naughtly? It should be naughty. These keyboards are possessed!

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Is the ash?

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Is IT the ash?

12:07 pm

Atalante

they are! I swear they have minds of there own.

12:07 pm

Haz1558

I tell you, bad things are happening.

12:08 pm

Atalante

it's the end times! catastrophe!

12:08 pm

Atalante

FM will start spelling properly soon!

12:08 pm

FMitch

12:09 pm

Dorens

12:09 pm

Haz1558

No chance.

12:09 pm

Dorens

(amended.. you three)

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens.

12:09 pm

FMitch

Hi Dorens

12:10 pm

Atalante

hi Dorens!!

12:10 pm

Dorens

I have a friend whose lifelong dream... going to Africa, seeing gorillas etc, is apparently jeopardized by the ash.... she was supposed to stop first in Heathrow ( on Friday).... how is it looking?

12:10 pm

Atalante

Friday might be ok

12:10 pm

FMitch

I can type fine if i really concentrate but usually excitement and babblemania takes over.

12:11 pm

Haz1558

It's looking better, Dorens, some airports in the north are opening tomorrow.

12:11 pm

Atalante

they are muttering about Scotland airspace reopening tomorrow

12:11 pm

Dorens

ow! ata... your poor hand

12:11 pm

Atalante

how are you dorens??

12:11 pm

Haz1558

Hooray for the north!

12:11 pm

FMitch

Not sure Dorens, HEathrow has been shut since last Thursday and no new yet as to when it mght open again.

12:11 pm

Haz1558

Two minutes and I'll hopefully be back.

12:12 pm

Atalante

Two minutes to change into Arnie? That's impressive

12:12 pm

Dorens

ok, ata - i've been better

12:13 pm

Atalante

*hugs doren muchly*

12:13 pm

FMitch

oh Dorens whats up?

12:14 pm

Boobear

hi Dorens

12:15 pm

PinnyPoppins

ar

12:15 pm

Dorens

looks like i'm losing my job.(State cut aid to education). and my "boyfriend" just dumped me like last night's beer!

12:15 pm

Dorens

other than that, i'm just ducky

12:15 pm

Dorens

thanks ata... hugging you back

12:16 pm

Boobear

Oh Dorens, I am sorry about your job

12:16 pm

Dorens

on the bright side, i will certainly have more time to chat along with my babble.... with "him" not taking up my time in the evenings... and possibly no work at all next september!

12:16 pm

FMitch

geez Dorens how crappy is all of that!

12:17 pm

Haz1558

I know we should probably all be encouraging you to be like Pollyanna and look on the bright side, but frankly, I always felt like giving Pollyanna a slap.

12:17 pm

FMitch

sorry to hear both bit of bad news.

12:17 pm

FMitch

LOL Haz.

12:18 pm

Dorens

*slapping pollyanna now that i have haz's go ahead*

12:18 pm

Haz1558

Ditto Madame Bovary and many of Dickens' more soppy heroines. That Dora always annoyed me thoroughly.

12:19 pm

Haz1558

So, it's rotten, Dorens, and I'm sorry that you've got such horrible things to deal with.

12:20 pm

Dorens

boobear. (and anyone else in the states lurking). Senator Harkins has introduced a bill in the Senate to bail out schools (like they did AIG, citibank, Ford, etc). please email your US Senators and have them vote for the bill! it is for all states, not just NJ and it would most definitely save MY job, and benefit lots of kids --if passed

12:21 pm

FMitch

ditto what Haz said, wish i could be more eloquent sometimes.

12:21 pm

Haz1558

Oh, FM, we love you just the way you are!

12:21 pm

Dorens

you are all wonderful people. if i'm not working next year, i'm going to descend on Great Britain and Paris and will enjoy meeting up with you

12:22 pm

Atalante

*hugs doren more*

12:22 pm

FMitch

Hugs all round :))

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Would it be the first Trans-Atlantic Babble meet?

12:23 pm

Atalante

I met up with hurshy ages ago

12:23 pm

Dorens

don't know, but I've always known I would do it someday

12:23 pm

Haz1558

Oh, that's true. Bother, we can't contact the Guinness Book of Records.

12:23 pm

Dorens

Ahhhh .. Ata and Hurshy, now there's a good match.

12:23 pm

FMitch

Yes it would be after hurshy and Ata and Babbler but we might be graced with corssy this year too

12:23 pm

Boobear

I saw your note, Dorens and will certainly do

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Is he coming to study bacon consumption in the UK?

12:24 pm

Dorens

thanks boo.... i forwarded an email about it last night to most of my addressbook (had easy links) and heard back from Michigan, Florida, Ct. Mass, California... all have done so. Just hope it gets some republican support

12:25 pm

Dorens

more like Crossy is coming to help you increase bacon consumption

12:25 pm

Haz1558

I know. Pigs will be atremble when they hear the news.

12:26 pm

FMitch

Probably coming over to buy up most of the bacon market!

12:27 pm

Haz1558

Oh, you'll appreciate two names, apparently bestowed recently on two babies. One will rejoice in the name of Pocahontas Murphy.

12:27 pm

Haz1558

The other little girl is to be named Tamara. Fine, until you realise that her surname is Knight....

12:27 pm

Dorens

is this a baby in UK? pocahontas?

12:27 pm

FMitch

Good grief!

12:28 pm

Dorens

names can be sooo amusing

12:28 pm

Haz1558

Yes, a UK child. Wouldn't you think somebody would have a discreet word with the parents?

12:28 pm

FMitch

Aparently not!

12:28 pm

Dorens

whoops... have to run and pretend that i am a much needed guidance counselor. lives depend on me.

12:29 pm

Haz1558

Or just do the decent thing and refuse to register the name on the grounds of parental stupidity.

12:29 pm

Haz1558

Go forth, Dorens, and guide!

12:29 pm

FMitch

Take care Dorens and be well.

12:29 pm

Dorens

will do. happy babbles!

12:29 pm

Haz1558

Make sure your students know that calling their child Pocahontas is a nono..

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Bye, Dorens!

12:30 pm

Atalante

or Princess Tiiammmaiiiaiaii

12:30 pm

FMitch

Time for dinner here so will poof too, adieu and Happy Babbling.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

All conversations lead back to Jordan...

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Bye FM!

12:32 pm

Atalante

bye Princess FM!

12:34 pm

Haz1558

And time for me to go as well.

12:35 pm

Haz1558

So, off I go. Bye for now - hope your hand continues to heal nicely, Ata.

12:35 pm

Haz1558

12:44 pm

jillibus

Hello before breakfast :)

12:44 pm

Riverdance

hi jill - just finished up lunch myself

12:44 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, jilli :-)

12:45 pm

jillibus

Just had to make the happy announcement that I now have Babble Expert on my new laptop :)

12:45 pm

Uneaixoise

yay, jilli!

12:45 pm

Riverdance

congrats - I still need to get that

12:46 pm

jillibus

and as you can see, I'm not used to the keyboard

12:46 pm

Goldieone

what is the average amount of words a player gets per puzzle? Like 3 quarters of them or half???

12:47 pm

jillibus

We try to get them all, goldie!

12:47 pm

Goldieone

I know. But what should a newbie shoot for?

12:47 pm

Boobear

I am eating lunch while playing babble

12:48 pm

jillibus

By hook or by crook, with the help of cluers and Lickety's list and morewords it's doable.

12:48 pm

periwinkle

Goldie, just find as many as you can, the more you play, the more you will find

12:48 pm

periwinkle

hello all

12:48 pm

ch1212

(hi all!) Goldie, that's the beauty of this game. So many are at different levels, and we all play to our best. When I first started, I was happy to get 1/4, then 1/2, then 3/4 before going to the list. For awhile I was obsessed with finishing every day. Then after a couple years, I let go and went back to just enjoying the game. I no longer care about finishing each day. Have fun!

12:49 pm

jillibus

As for the average-- who knows?

12:49 pm

Goldieone

???Lickety's list ? morewords ?

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

ata? are you still there? I looked at Bella and she is really blonde, a lot like Ruby's coloring, but shorter hair

12:49 pm

Boobear

Hi ch1212

12:49 pm

Uneaixoise

lickety's babble clues -- look below grid on this page

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

ch1212

Hey boo. (I always think of Harper Lee's character Boo Radley when I write that ... :)

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

hi ch1212 I have finished 3 times but only because other babblers dragged me across the finish line! I've stopped looking at the rankings and just do the best I can!

12:50 pm

Boobear

lol

12:50 pm

Goldieone

thank you ch1212 and anll

12:50 pm

jillibus

goldie, scroll down and under the grid and stats you'll see Lickety's Babble Clues. Right click and open in a new window. It gives the first 2 letters of each word and its point score.

12:51 pm

ch1212

That's good though, ruby. At one point I was up to #3 in the rankings, and that's when I realized I was playing for the wrong reasons. Now I'd bet my "ranking" has plummeted, but I don't care :)

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

an oscar is a kind of cichlid

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

hi jilli

12:51 pm

jillibus

Now I must have breakfast!

12:52 pm

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I think I have some in facebook but if your e-mail is in your profile, I'll send you a bunch

1:00 pm

wildcat17

I think it is ...

1:00 pm

Riverdance

i know what you mean- we pulled ours out years ago and stayed with only flowers or flowering shrubs

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

JTWright died mysteriously 10 days ago and he was the leader of John's band

1:00 pm

wildcat17

oh no how sad

1:00 pm

Riverdance

1:24 pm

Atalante

1:24 pm

SeaSpray

My dog is named Max also

1:26 pm

Atalante

emma wanted to say hi to you - another chow owner - would you mind if I messaged her and you together in fb? She doesn't know anyone else with chows and would love to have someone to chat to about them!

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

sure, you can give her my e-mail if your like or suggest her as a friend in FB

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

chow owners are as special a weird breed as their dogs!

1:27 pm

Atalante

ty! and I'll do the same with Jason - I want to hear more about his half-breeds too!

1:27 pm

FMitch

LOL nice one Ata!

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

it takes a lot of patience to have a dog who, when called, sits down, looks away and thinks, "she's kidding, right?"

1:28 pm

FMitch

ROFL

1:28 pm

Atalante

Bella's so funny. She doesn't like being all smoooshed and cuddled, and it's so funny to see how offended she looks when you try it

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

stidmama

*sticks tongue out at jmc* be nice. I have a migraine today! *whimper whimper*

3:54 pm

Mom

{{Stid}} hello, my day is fine. You deserve a slow day. :) How is the weather?

3:54 pm

stidmama

still need one more tile for NBT though

3:54 pm

Mom

Oh Stid, I'm sorry.

3:54 pm

stidmama

the weather is dry, but overcast (which is fine for me) I like that it's warm enough to leave the door open for Lucky to go in and out as he pleases

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

sheesh she's always bringing out that excuse :-P

3:55 pm

Mom

that is good. My Aunt has been in San Diego she said it was too cool for her taste.

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

i have nbt :-P

3:55 pm

stidmama

go jmc go!!! *shakes pom poms (moth flies out)*

3:56 pm

3:57 pm

stidmama

4:00 pm

periwinkle

hi stid, sorry about the migraine

4:00 pm

stidmama

hey peri, thanks. I think it will be gone by tomorrow, but just not "all here" today. how are you? (she said, brightly)

4:01 pm

periwinkle

doing well, looking for a newer car but not much progress as yet

4:01 pm

Mom

what kind of car would you like Peri

4:01 pm

stidmama

car shopping is NOT my favorite genre of shopping. I am much more adept at clothes, books and shoes...

4:01 pm

periwinkle

If I had money a new Honda Civic or HOnda Fit

4:02 pm

periwinkle

but will probably buy a used Hyundai Accent or Elantra

4:02 pm

Mom

I had an Accord but younger son drives it now

4:02 pm

periwinkle

it is better than going shhopping for a bathing suit which I will have to do sometime soon :(

4:02 pm

Mom

those are both nice cars

4:02 pm

periwinkle

I have a 1991 Toyota Corolla

4:02 pm

Mom

bathing suit shopping???????????????? Not in this lifetime for me

4:02 pm

stidmama

my tom likes his hyundai accent. good mileage, and big enough to hold a 6' stidkid AND his tuba (and the driver) with a bit of room to spare

4:03 pm

stidmama

oh! may I share something nice tom did for me?

4:03 pm

periwinkle

really, ok then, it will probably be an Accent

4:03 pm

Mom

please do Stid

4:03 pm

periwinkle

will keep you posted

4:03 pm

periwinkle

what years does he have Stid?

4:03 pm

stidmama

please do peri!

4:04 pm

periwinkle

stid, I recently made unstuffed cabbage and the recipe is in my profile if you are interested

4:04 pm

stidmama

okay, so my car's heating thingy (the slider bit that changes from hot to cold) broke. big time. Tom bought a whole new unit, and installed it yesterday (almost 300 bucks!) -- at the same time he did that, he turned the radio rightside up (we bought the car used) so now I have reliable heating/cooling AND can play the radio and cds!

4:05 pm

periwinkle

wow that is great, what a wonderful, handly hubby

4:05 pm

stidmama

I am so pleased, and feel like a real princess. It was heavenly to drive last night.

4:05 pm

Mom

isn't he just a sweetheart, Stid

4:06 pm

stidmama

now I just need to get the oil changed and the car will be good for another few thousand miles

4:06 pm

periwinkle

stid, did Tom buy the hyundai new or used?

4:06 pm

stidmama

we bought the hyundai new, to replace the 16 year-old sentra that died last summer. the van (see below) is 15 years old, and with kids and all I felt we really needed one reliable vehicle

4:07 pm

stidmama

there were some very good deals last summer, so it worked (barely) for our budget

4:07 pm

periwinkle

what year Hyundai, stid?

4:07 pm

stidmama

um... 2009 I think.

4:08 pm

stidmama

but it might be a 2010. I don't know when car years change anymore!

4:08 pm

periwinkle

ok

4:09 pm

stidmama

the other factors (aside from affordability) for us were safety (airbags even on the sides), mileage, and the 10-year warranty.

4:09 pm

Mom

with 70 left I think I will get up and stretch my legs. {{Hugs}} to all of you

4:09 pm

stidmama

anyway, time for me to head out. down to 57 and will try to babble some tonight. (((hugs all))) good too see you!

4:09 pm

Thanks for asking. It was fine, although we decided it was best to be friends and no more. We keep in touch quite often.

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

welki, the nearby pond was stocked today and a short time ago I saw an angler depart with 3 large trout on a line.

6:44 pm

welki

sometimes it's better things turn out that way

6:45 pm

Scrabbler

1st period is over. Sabres 1, Bruins 1. BRB.

6:45 pm

welki

the same day it was stocked? oh boy, usually there are regulations that make you wait a day or two after stocking (if you don't, you might as well just dip a net and pull a fish out, it's like a turkey shoot :(

6:46 pm

Brookie

Yes, and now I'm in a relationship with a man in the Washington, DC area... it's going extremely well.

6:46 pm

welki

i used to watch men follow the fish and game folks when they would release pheasants ... sorrowful state of affairs. easier (and cheaper) to just buy the meat

6:47 pm

Riverdance

hi all

6:48 pm

Riverdance

6:49 pm

welki

6:49 pm

Riverdance

6:49 pm

dcseain

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

Riverdance

we have a pond a mile from the house - the guys are out there at oh dark thirty just to get their spot - got forbid they not get the same spot every year

6:50 pm

welki

i was forced to post my property, fishing by permission only. ohhh, the arguments! "you don't own the water" well, yeah that's right, but i owned both sides of the stream and the ground underneath ... so unless you could walk on the water, out! get out! LOL

6:50 pm

Riverdance

they are back by 7:30 am or so with their limit for a big fish fry

6:50 pm

dcseain

indeed so, welki!

6:51 pm

6:51 pm

welki

6:51 pm

Brookie

I hear my 2-year-old singing himself to sleep, singing "The wheels on the bus go round and round..." (And on a more related note to the chog, good for you welki, for asserting yourself!)

6:51 pm

Riverdance

the fisherman I dont mind so much - its the hunters that choose to hunt in my back yard that upset me with my kids playing outside of course

6:51 pm

welki

6:52 pm

8:49 pm

I-Mac

No...others are finishing!

8:49 pm

lbdawger

how long have you been babbling, I-Mac?

8:49 pm

I-Mac

He tried to burn down a tree accidentally? If he was trying to, isn't that what you'd call on purpose?

8:50 pm

I-Mac

A couple of hours, off and on?

8:51 pm

lbdawger

well, he's burning the weeds around his back acre, and he wasn't paying attention to where his torch was pointing...and the flames caught the bark...

8:51 pm

Pinikula

8:51 pm

lbdawger

The first one I have done myself.

8:52 pm

lbdawger

I-Mac

The normal pronunciation..."Eeyan."

9:37 pm

lbdawger

that's how you should spell it then

9:37 pm

Pinikula

yep....still like it! :)

9:37 pm

I-Mac

It's pronounced as such because of the spelling!

9:37 pm

I-Mac

I prefer the other...but my parents didn't.

9:38 pm

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

the filmmakers (emmy award winning for Soldiers of Conscience) are a hoot to spend time with

10:39 pm

Pinikula

sounds like you're going to have a good time!

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

the four of us got drunk and thrown outof a restaurant in NYC a few weeks ago.

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

I pretty much always can find a way to amuse myself :-)

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

but ARE there any babblers in SF?

10:40 pm

Pinikula

10:45 pm

jmcnrick

the key board is almost normal size but there is no number key pad and thescreen is about half size

10:46 pm

jmcnrick

10:46 pm

Pinikula

yikes!

10:46 pm

Pinikula

I guess there have to be some pros with the cons...

10:47 pm

jmcnrick

i am just hoping it is going to be worth the $$$

10:47 pm

jmcnrick

It doesn't have a disk reader so everything has to be down loaded from the internet or a flash drive

10:47 pm

Pinikula

Definitely!

10:48 pm

Pinikula

guess that's there the lightness comes in

10:48 pm

jmcnrick

any way i will be able to babble without carrying my big lap top!

10:48 pm

jmcnrick

must have priorities

10:48 pm

Pinikula

cool!

10:49 pm

Pinikula

oh yeah...can't live without babble!

10:49 pm

jmcnrick
