from our local transit agency, regarding the subway: "Metro will enact a new 20¢ surcharge during peak-of-the-peak periods (weekdays 7:30 - 9 a.m. and 4:30 - 6 p.m., based on the starting time of the trip)."
12:37 am
flosey
past tense
12:38 am
jillibus
past tense
12:38 am
m9f9l
peek of the peek. wow
12:38 am
joshuavorbis
any toronto babblers involved in the g20 mess today?
12:38 am
dcseain
we already have a variable fare that ranges from 1'.95 to 4.95 each way depending on time of day. talk about confusing fare structure.
12:38 am
jillibus
ah, and I remember the nickel subway fare in NYC, dc!
12:39 am
flosey
we called our son as soon as we read it - his, and his wife's, offices are not right in the centre of it all
12:39 am
jillibus
I'm far from Toronto the Not-so-Good.
12:39 am
dcseain
fare here was 85 cents when i started riding in 1986.
12:39 am
dcseain
they are well, flosey?
12:39 am
flosey
but they're watching things very closely - son's especially
12:40 am
flosey
yes dc, thanks
12:40 am
joshuavorbis
i have many friends downtown and they have nothing good to say about the actions of the police today especially
12:40 am
jillibus
I have old friends who live there but I don't know if they are in the area concerned.
12:40 am
m9f9l
and the other
12:40 am
flosey
it is very shocking - and scarey
12:40 am
joshuavorbis
one of my good friends lives a block away from the "zone" and he was detained this afternoon for being suspicious due to "walking in the rain" when in reality he was walking home from the store
12:41 am
m9f9l
one of our fave songs was inspired at the g summit in London.. band had room overlooking the police action
12:41 am
flosey
gosh, they have to be so careful
12:42 am
jillibus
are these creeps professional troublemakers?
12:42 am
dcseain
that scary, joshua
12:42 am
jillibus
josh, just what is the "zone"?
12:43 am
joshuavorbis
jilli - the area of the downtown core that was cordoned off and essentially shut down for the summit
12:43 am
joshuavorbis
without getting too provocative, here is (i think) a telling video that shows the attitudes of the police irrespective of the public - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Heb9BXj
YcII
12:43 am
flosey
what streets are involved josh?
12:44 am
jillibus
I know that -- I mean what streets are the boundaries? My friends are on Bloor, not far from the university
12:44 am
joshuavorbis
bloor is more or less away from the action, as far as i know
12:44 am
joshuavorbis
queen and spadina was the site of some of the worst confrontations
12:44 am
jillibus
that's good!
12:44 am
flosey
I take it this is more down Queen? and below?
12:44 am
m9f9l
I watched that on youtube.. kettling. looks scary!
12:45 am
joshuavorbis
seems like it's from maybe bay to spadina east/west, king to maybe dundas north/south
12:45 am
m9f9l
not the one linked here... I mean the one that inspired song
12:45 am
joshuavorbis
i honestly don't know though
12:45 am
flosey
ah, west of son's office then
12:46 am
jillibus
saw the link, josh -- that's awful.
12:47 am
joshuavorbis
the video really speaks for itself if you ask me
12:47 am
flosey
must look it up
12:47 am
jillibus
I'll be watching the news in a bit.
12:47 am

at the g20 in london apparently someone got killed by the police.. at least that's the story on the web..
12:51 am
flosey
really sad to see this in the Toronto I knew and loved - as I remember it from 20+ years ago
12:51 am
joshuavorbis
i find it hard to seriously consider the police's side of the story after seeing something like that
12:52 am
rururocks
some canadians are so barbaric..especially police
12:52 am
jillibus
what on earth was the police's story?
12:52 am
joshuavorbis
i haven't heard anything from them regarding whats in the video
12:53 am
joshuavorbis
both the ch7's are related, btw
12:53 am
joshuavorbis
one is past tense and the other is "more of" the ch5 preceding
12:53 am
jillibus
are the ch7s weird?
12:54 am
joshuavorbis
just change one consonant from the sound that birds make
12:54 am
jillibus
thx josh
12:55 am
dcseain
ty, josh
12:56 am
joshuavorbis

jillibus

12:56 am
joshuavorbis

12:58 am
joshuavorbis
i'm spending the entire summer living out of my car and driving around the us and canada
12:58 am
Jellen
Wow, josh...sounds like an adventure!
12:58 am
jillibus
it's so annoying -- some French words work, other don't -- quite arbitrary.
12:58 am
joshuavorbis
i did it in 2002 and now i'm doing it again
12:58 am
rururocks
that's cool josh.. be safe
12:59 am
jillibus
I have been to Memphis -- drove there from Montreal twice, and back, with a Great Dane .
12:59 am
joshuavorbis

1:00 am
jillibus

1:00 am
rururocks

1:15 am
jillibus
gee thanks, grem (I haven't a clue)
1:15 am
jillibus
that's better, grem -- thanks!
1:16 am
flosey
thanks grem, great clue
1:16 am
gremlinn
the first clue was wrong - should have been "m + neoc******s are parts of brains"
1:16 am
Barb's Horses
thanks grem
1:16 am
jillibus
yes, grem
1:16 am
gremlinn
and I realized it'd be useless, yes
1:18 am
rururocks
why do I feel I am at 33 rpm.. and gremlin is at 45?
1:18 am
gremlinn
did anyone say "why doesn't epitomy work?" yet?
1:18 am
Barb's Horses
so long as you aren't playing the 33 at a 45 speed
1:18 am
gremlinn
common misspelling, so I think it'll happen
1:19 am
jillibus
not a chance, lol!
1:19 am
flosey
is the pr8 a compound word?
1:20 am
gremlinn
it has a three letter prefix
1:20 am
gremlinn
not a compound though
1:20 am
flosey
thanks grem
1:20 am
gremlinn
common word, and I was trying for strange stuff like "pericarp"
1:21 am
gremlinn
it was my last word, and I was stuck for 20 minutes on it
1:21 am
gremlinn
just knew it was P8
1:22 am
flosey
lol that's discouraging! if YOU were stuck!
1:22 am
rururocks
I sure don't see it
1:22 am
flosey
will come back to it
1:23 am
gremlinn
I'm not sure why, but it was hard to pick out of the grid
1:25 am
jillibus

m9f9l

m9f9l
it's actually pretty good.... kind of...

2:18 am
jillibus
and the prediction for Wednesday, when a friend is having a garden party, is cloudy and 15 for a high! With maybe showers. Awful!

2:19 am
Haz1558
Ballymena is fine this morning, a bit overcast, but I don't think we'll have any rain.
2:19 am

2:20 am
Haz1558
We're going to a wedding on Saturday so hopefully it'll still be nice. However, we're so used to rain that we would never dare schedule an outdoor wedding.
2:20 am
FMitch
Parts of England were warmer yester than the Mediteranian.
2:20 am
flosey
aha, just got the ro5 and 6
2:20 am

2:29 am

I've been hearing that there might be a bit of a bother if countries start withdrawing from the eu4. Thanks
2:29 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
2:30 am
flosey
ah, sorry, was looking at southwest!, goodnight for good now, poof
2:30 am
FMitch
Haz to the rescue!
2:31 am
Haz1558
Britain refused to forsake their pounds for the foreign eu4. Losing shillings was as far as we were prepared to go.
2:32 am
Haz1558
I still remember the TV jingles to prepare us for decimalisation 'Use your old coppers in sixpenny lots'
2:32 am
FMitch
Hear Hear!
2:32 am
Douglas
I spent a year in Birmingham in 1965. My mother reported I was quite helpful with shillings and pence at the time
2:33 am
FMitch
Is your icon the moonlight walk Haz?
2:33 am
Haz1558
Shillings and pence were the reason we were whizzes on the 12 times tables.
2:33 am
Haz1558
Yes, I took it from the website. The rugby players are bringing up the rear.
2:33 am
Haz1558
And I've got some new books for sale in the world's shortest books.
2:34 am
FMitch
Oh I will have to have a look at the book list :)
2:37 am
FMitch
LOL very witty!
2:37 am
Haz1558
I think I could probably add 'Playing as a team' by the England Football squad.
2:38 am
Haz1558
And back - phone's busy this morning with appointments. It was a poor show yesterday, that's for sure.
2:39 am
FMitch
I couldn't bear to watch it.
2:39 am
Haz1558
The commentators were trying hard to be polite but you could see that they were struggling with their language.
2:39 am
Haz1558
And then, Fabio was interviewed and claimed they played well.
2:40 am
FMitch
well he is in a win win situation isn't he.
2:41 am
Douglas
You have my condolences. Did you catch the highlights of the USA-Ghana match?
2:41 am
Haz1558
I don't know whether it was his own struggle with the English language or whether he was just trying to be kind.
2:41 am
Haz1558
I saw a few snatches here and there, Douglas.
2:41 am
FMitch
Was it as bad as ours?
2:42 am
Haz1558
From the way the pundits were talking yesterday, the England performance will be used for years to come as an object lesson in how not to defend.
2:43 am
FMitch
On the upside we beat Australia at cricket and aparently the UK won the freshwater fishing championships :)
2:43 am
gran
Clue please for pr 8/55
2:43 am
Haz1558
Well, that's manna for the soul, knowing we can catch fish.
2:44 am
Haz1558
pr8 - to stick out in noticeable fashion
2:44 am
FMitch
pr8/55 = to stick out
2:44 am
Douglas
I considered the play that fellow made in extra time to be rather amazing, catching the ball on his left shoulder from 40 yards or so away
2:44 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
2:45 am
FMitch
That must have been something to see!
2:46 am
Haz1558
Right, must ring the surgery to give them the appointments for this morning. Back shortly.
2:46 am
FMitch
okey doke.
2:47 am
Douglas
The fellow who kicked the ball to Gyan (the man who scored the winning goal) was Andre Ayew. He was voted Man of the Match
2:48 am
FMitch
I bet there will be a clip of it somewhere on youtube.
2:48 am
Soodlebum
Tis better to have played and lost, than to have never played at all.
2:49 am
FMitch
LOL not sure about that Soodle, and good morning.
2:50 am
Soodlebum
Hi FM, Douglas, and Haz.
2:50 am
Haz1558
Strangest call of the weekend was the tortoise whose shell was punctured thanks to the attentions of a boxer dog called Angel. Poor choice of name!
2:50 am
FMitch
poor tortoise, is it OK?
2:50 am
Haz1558
Yes, hopefully, it got an antibiotic injection.
2:51 am
FMitch
for some reason I am reminded of that brilliant story you told re the goat on the bed. The brain is a strange thing :)
2:52 am
Haz1558
You're right there!
2:52 am
Douglas
Hello Soodle. Ireland, England and the USA are all equal now
2:53 am
Haz1558
I wonder if the English team will be sent home in Economy like the French team were?
2:54 am
Soodlebum
That's very gracious of you, Douglas.
2:54 am
FMitch
Nah they will have seats out on the wings.
2:54 am
Soodlebum
Or worse....RYANAIR
2:55 am
FMitch
As it is a 12 hour flight from J'burg they will certainy have time to ponder everything.
2:55 am
Haz1558
Hitch hiking and a slow boat home - things might have been forgotten by the time they get back.
2:56 am
FMitch
Hitch hiking and then to be picked up by a buss load of German supporters :)
2:56 am
Haz1558
Of course, it may have a great deal to do with the fact that the English premiership is awash with foreign players, so there's no strength in the squad.
2:57 am
Haz1558
But there's no fun in being rational about it, is there?
2:57 am
FMitch
Can't believe my downtime (the summer) is dominated by football and as soon as it is all over I will be back to 40 weeks of football - argh!
2:58 am
FMitch
Shall we set up a Babble Tiddley Winks team as a diversion?
2:58 am
Haz1558
At least you didn't have to type the results while steadily weeping.
2:59 am
FMitch
or we could carry on with the Babble pub quiz team?
2:59 am
Haz1558
I think the quiz team idea is still the best.
3:00 am
FMitch
Douglas would be very useful on the musical rounds.
3:00 am
Douglas
In American football, the phrase "so-and-so made a play" is commonly used with the connotation "so-and-so skillfully took advantage of an opportunity" I get that Gyan of Ghana made a play. If one wishes to get technical, he made three plays; he caught the ball on his shoulder, beat a defender, and made a shot that beat Tim Howard, one of the best keepers in the world. I bow to his excellence.
3:00 am
Haz1558
Music and poetry.
3:01 am
FMitch
HAve to say I now have a clearer idea of what the offside rule is - a chap on the radio gave a very simple explanation of it.
3:01 am
Douglas
Thanks all for your kind words
3:02 am
Haz1558
Do they have pub quizzes in the states? Where teams compete to answer general knowledge questions?
3:02 am
Douglas
The part about the World Cup I don't get is the lack of instant replay on goals. USA had two goals taken away from them in the group stage, both unjustly, in my opinion
3:03 am
Douglas
My pub quiz pub of preference is Keegan's Irish Pub in Minneapolis
3:03 am
sandyloo
hi guys, Haz I love quizzes
3:03 am
Haz1558
The powers that be claim that it would be too expensive to install goal line technology, the thinking being that it would have to be used everywhere or nowhere. I don't see why they can't agree to have it on important games. Let's face it,the game is awash with money.
3:03 am
sandyloo
hi mitch
3:04 am
Haz1558
Hello, sandyloo.
3:04 am
FMitch
No the players are awash with money :(
3:04 am
Haz1558
Glad to see that the Irish pubs are spreading the word. Are the quizzes of a pretty high standard?
3:04 am
FMitch
What have you done to your icon sandy?
3:05 am
Haz1558
Then each awash with money player should be required to fund goal line technology - it's in their own interests, and in the interests of natural justice.
3:06 am
sandyloo
Lol mitch, I am trying to become more computer literate- so I scanned a pic in (first time) and tried to put it on my icon- however apparently I have to crop it first
3:06 am
FMitch
Back in 5.

Good morning, sprite.
3:11 am
sprite
how's today's grid to you?
3:11 am
Haz1558
It's okay, sprite. Yes, there are k words but not many.
3:11 am
Douglas
I consider myself to be well versed in trivial knowledge, but sometimes the quizzes give me a thorough thrashing, because they have questions on pop culture items that I don't follow closely
3:11 am
sandyloo
just started
3:12 am
sprite
thanks. Am positive I can find 3 K words.
3:13 am
Haz1558
I know what you mean, Douglas, but you can't know everything - and think of the horror of having to listen to some of that stuff. Let others make the sacrifice.
3:14 am
FMitch
Morning spritey sprite.
3:14 am
sprite
hah found them :) Hi Douglas
3:14 am
Haz1558
Well done, sprite.
3:15 am
Douglas
Hello sprite! The two I have are rather nasty, but we can't prosecute Babble for that
3:15 am
FMitch
Now you can enjoy the rest of the grid sprite :)
3:15 am

hi FM and sandy and Haz too
3:15 am

we can't, Douglas? Darn.
3:16 am
sprite
indeed FM :)
3:16 am
FMitch
Back in a sec, must change icon for todays theme :)
3:16 am
Haz1558
If PG Wodehouse were translated into French, Bertie Wooster would be facing the magistrates charged with stealing an officer's ke4 on Boat Race night.
3:17 am
Douglas
That was a reference from the Monty Python "Wizzo Assortment" sketch, where the Police Inspector says to the candy maker "Cherry Fondue...now this is rather nasty, but we can't prosecute you for that."
3:17 am
sprite
hehehe FM, I'd say you are showing a beautiful theme icon
3:18 am
sprite
don't think I have seen that scene.
3:18 am
FMitch
True sprite but at least I can show some of my onw ones :)
3:19 am

oh they are blooming so beautifully!
3:21 am

Thank you sprite, everthing is coming alng nicely.

3:24 am

No Sprite. They say its lost... They had the original. So I am expected to go to the Births Register Office, pay for a new one, take it to the passport office, and return on Friday to pick up the wretched thing. A round trip of 140kms each time.
3:35 am

Soodlebum
Well, because she is on such a tight time deadline, I don't want to jeopardise her getting the passport. It would by my luck to meet some officious civil servant, who would just be awkward.

4:20 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, ddb.
4:20 am
Sally-catlover

Gruel is not cruel.

rubyfoo
I think frito should be acceptable, after all, it's one of the main food groups
4:25 am
yogo1
yes i was born in Canberra :)
4:25 am
Haz1558
I know. A diet of gruel eaten in a cupboard might come as a shock after caviare in the palace.
4:25 am
sprite
what is frito? Frites with mayo? In that case I agree.
4:25 am
yogo1
i wont any more :( oops
4:25 am
Sally-catlover
Ah, my favourite word is in the grid. ce 4/6. A word you know well if you keep chickens...

it would be much healthier for them though.
4:25 am

ruby, it has a latin plural ending.
4:27 am
sprite
2 syllables, rubyfoo
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
And repeat the first consonant somewhere. Now can we give any more clues for this word?
4:28 am
rubyfoo
got it, thank you

we could, but it is not necessary ;)

no gruel for those chickens. Just caviare!
4:30 am

what color are their eggs?
4:30 am

I have a friend with exotic chickens that lay strange-colored, speckled eggs!
4:31 am

4:31 am
Sally-catlover
They are all different. One lays very long brown speckled ones, one lays more rounded light brown. The two new girls (Fluffy and Scruffy) lay speckled eggs which are darker one end than the other - very pretty.
4:31 am

hello ubgrud!

4:32 am
yogo1
ac5,12 :) pls
4:32 am
Haz1558
yogo, sorry, I don't think it's fair to ask for clues for word after word. You need to look at the grid and find some words for yourself.
4:32 am
yogo1
ok ill try..... :)
4:32 am
sprite
yogo, could you try to find some words by yourself?
4:33 am
Sally-catlover
no, just the shells are different. It is a myth that there is any difference whatever in the content between different coloured eggs.
4:33 am
Haz1558
The point of the game is to find words, not necessarily to finish just to say you've finished.
4:33 am
sprite
it is more fun, both for you and for uw
4:33 am
sprite
that should have read *us
4:33 am

However, the yolks are very golden yellow - almost orange. When I first had the two new girls their yolks were quite pale in comparison, but now after free ranging for a while their yolks have darkened.

yogo1
ok but most of the words i dont know and i just guess....but i still find them....i have 15 words....
4:34 am
sprite
the content can change with different food then :)
4:34 am
rubyfoo
European eggs are SOOOO much better than American ones which have very pale yolks and white shells
4:34 am
Haz1558
Then you realy can't expect people to give you clues for all the rest. Accept that you don't know as many words as others, but try to find the easy ones, there are lots of normal words if you take the time to look.
4:35 am
rubyfoo
"let them eat bugs!"
4:35 am
yogo1
ok thanks :)
4:35 am
Sally-catlover
yes sprite. But I have read that in the US white eggs are popular because they are seen to be cleaner and therefore more "healthy", whereas in the UK brown eggs are seen as healthier!
4:35 am
Haz1558
If you listen in to clues being given to other people, you should be able to work out some more as well.
4:35 am
yogo1
aussie eggs i have to say are the best :)
4:35 am
rubyfoo
I've only finished 3 times in more than 6 months, yogo, and that was with a lot of help from the chog!
4:36 am
sprite
that is funny, Sally. Knowing where the eggs come from, I think nobody should consider them clean, grin.
4:37 am
rubyfoo
true, sprite!
4:37 am
Sally-catlover
rofl, sprite!
4:37 am
Haz1558
We don't want to discourage you from playing, just to make you realise that you need to take it at a pace that's right for you and everyone else.
4:37 am
Sally-catlover
Eggs from chooks are much cleaner than duck eggs, though. Ducks lay on the floor.
4:37 am
yogo1
yep thats ok :)
4:37 am
rubyfoo
I've never known if it is necessary to wash eggs before you break them
4:38 am
sprite
yogo, think of how proud you will feel when you find some good words on your own :)
4:38 am
Haz1558
Good, yogo, I hope you enjoy the game.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
sometimes they have feathers stuck to them
4:38 am
yogo1
i agree sprite
4:38 am
sprite
I love really fresh eggs. They taste so much better than the shop ones.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
guess what time it is, sally! you are right as usual
4:38 am
Sally-catlover
Not usually from chickens, unless there is dirt on them. However, I do usually clean duck eggs just before breaking.
4:39 am
Sally-catlover
hic!
4:39 am
rubyfoo
I've never had a duck egg :(
4:39 am
Haz1558
Okay, time I was doing other things. Have a good day and maybe see you later. Bye!
4:39 am
yogo1
yay i found both the mo4,5 words..... :)
4:39 am
rubyfoo
quail eggs, though
4:39 am
Sally-catlover
T loves them. They are a bit strong for me.
4:39 am
rubyfoo
I hear stomping around from you-know-who *poof*
4:40 am
Sally-catlover
Bye Haz
4:40 am
rubyfoo
I would probably like them as I eat my eggs unseasoned
4:40 am
rubyfoo
{{sally, hic!}}
4:40 am
Sally-catlover
Duck eggs have to be really really fresh. They are apparently wonderful in cakes.
4:42 am
sprite
I have fireflies buzzing around. Bye all, thanks for the fun and the help.
4:42 am

4:52 am
Kallia

4:53 am
Sally-catlover
If you put in a word that isn't in Babble's dictionary, just under the Add Word box it will show in red, with a message saying word not found in dictionary, or something like that. If the word is successful, it will show in green, saying Last word added: ...
4:53 am
yogo1
actor...oops was i meant to write it like that :)
4:53 am
Kallia
but it should accept it
4:54 am
Kallia

4:54 am

4:54 am
lynxxx

4:54 am
yogo1

There was an author named I think Rumer Godden- I read her when I was a kid. She wrote about India, and coming of age stuff.

I have to admit, I deliberately don't follow the theme as an act of rebellion against all the pleas to follow the theme. Does that make me an awful renegade?

Was reading chog earlier. I am also one not to always follow icon themes. I used to follow it religiously and I was one of those who begged other babblers to follow the theme,but then I became a hypocrite and I started to not follow the theme anymore.If I don't care for the theme that day,then I do not do it.I do something else
10:50 am

No problem, Aloy.
10:51 am

Thank you aebmusica and hello there!It has been awhile.

It's one of these things that a few get very involved with and can't seem to help wishing that others would as well, but it just doesn't seem that important to me. I wish it could be accepted and not sighed over.

Hello, aebmusica.

Don't look to me for help, Aloy! I like your sun.
10:54 am

Paste your sun onto your desktop, then you can upload it.
10:55 am
Haz1558
Aloy, maybe you've changed your e-mail address or something?
10:55 am
Haz1558
I'm sure he wouldn't leave you out deliberately. Have you had it forwarded to you?
10:56 am
Aloyisius
I did when my laptop crashed, Haz.. but I still have the server email that I used for Babble profile
10:56 am
Aloyisius
.. or Babble account info I should say
10:56 am
Minveryork
I got an e-mail, but I did not respond. Maybe send him an email and ask him to send it to you Or I could paste email into chat log if you want. That is what Jacula did before.
10:56 am
BabbleRabble
Aloy, right click on the sun, click on "Copy image location" and save it documents or some other file. When you want to use it again, browse to the location and upload it.
10:57 am
Haz1558
Well, I'm sure FM would send it onto you, you have her e-mail, don't you? It's just a request for feedback and ideas for how babble can be improved.

10:59 am
Minveryork
Aloyisius,here's the email that Dr. God sent to all babblers
Fellow Pro Babbler-
I realized this morning that I've been neglecting Babble lately,
and I'm thinking it's time I gussied the site up a bit. So I'm
asking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let your
brain juices flow!
A few sample questions/topics:
What do you like the most about Babble?
What do you dislike the most about Babble?
What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble?
How could the Babble community be strengthened?
Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams.
It's all good to me.
Thanks and Happy Babbling!
- Dr_God

I recall one not long ago - responded to being politely answered/ignored, as appropriate by going away - I was amazed at my fellow babblers for patience and efficiency!
11:07 am

I love this one - lots of meaty words.

Hi.

Not loving it, but I am a bit cranky today.

I wanted a rolling transcript of news so that it wouldn't have to be repeated 50 million times that Lickety hadn't posted.

Oh, sorry Aloysisius! Yes, minimize. Sorry you lost Babble.

Hello redturtlehead!Sorry to hear you're in a cranky mood

11:09 am
Aloyisius
heat and humidity can make you very cranky
11:09 am
Haz1558
Yes, you could turn the ticker tape off if it got too annoying.
11:09 am
redturtlehead
And I have already seen one helicopter leave work today which means maybe a bad night there...
11:09 am
bichon
I woke up cranky, but have mellowed
11:09 am
Minveryork
Somebody suggested before to have an edit button in the chog. I agreed because I never edit my story of clues I do.
11:09 am
Haz1558
Hello, crossy!
11:09 am
redturtlehead
A ticker tape across the babble screen? Red perks up!
11:09 am
stidmama
hey bichon. I woke up feeling fine, but now that work is staring me in the face I am cranky (and avoiding by babbling)
11:09 am
BabbleRabble
I got the sun saved but took a few steps

It is flipping hot here too.

Stidmama, how do you get your hair to grow so quickly? It seems to grow amazingly fast!
11:12 am

11:12 am

Oh man sorry.
11:12 am
Haz1558
If I could share the rain, I surely would. Apparently it's just what gardeners and farmers were looking for.
11:12 am
crosshair
i love the rain:) especially on my days off,cause it means there is someone else standing out there all day listening to the citiots whine
11:12 am
stidmama
It has slowed down, Haz -- used to grow up to about 6 inches a year, now more like 4-5. About the only thing in my body that "works" properly! LOL
11:12 am
stidmama
thanks red!

It is the fertile and lush conditions in stiddy neck of the woods!

My hair grows fast too, but I just got 18 inches cut off and I donated it to Locks of Love. Not sure if I like new style.

11:14 am
Haz1558
Is your new hair style very short?
11:14 am
stidmama
I donate my cut hair as well. Was going to wait until I was done with the Master's program to cut it again, but now think I will do it this summer and just hope it's long enough. It will probably be the last time I do it. I can't have long hair when I work, it takes too much effort to keep it tidy.
11:14 am
stidmama
thanks for the mo 7
11:14 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, bichon.

Happy Babbling all, must be off and did only pop in to say hello!

Yes Haz1558.
11:18 am
Minveryork
It was driving my husband crazy because I kept shedding.
11:19 am
Haz1558
Dear me. I tried my hardest to grow my hair as a teenager but it got to shoulder length and wouldn't budge.
11:19 am
Minveryork
It would also get into the dog's mouth and we would have to pull it out of his rear end, but were scared it would get caught around something in his body. So I had to cut hair
11:20 am
Haz1558
But you didn't tell the hairdresser that.
11:20 am
BabbleRabble
About six months ago, I cut off about 12 or 13 inches of hair and eight inches of beard

Two cats and a wren
11:23 am
Haz1558
But you still have a beard now, BR? You've not succumbed to all the advertising for these razors that promise so much?
11:23 am
BabbleRabble
I braided my beard so it matched my nose and ear hairs
11:23 am
Soodlebum
Four ducks and a hen
have all made their nests in my beard.

Thierry Henry was the other one in the tr4/4 of men used to advertise that razor. He's only the one who cheated France into the World Cup.
11:26 am

*note to self.. do not introduce Minver to Osama Bin Laden*
11:27 am
Haz1558
But a proper beard wouldn't be prickly, would it? It's only when it's in the early stubbly phase that it's unpleasant.
11:28 am

Would not want to meet him even if he was clean shaven.

Dilemma: 4 people rent a cabin for a vacation. At last minute 2 people opt out of trip. Should those 2 people still pay their portion of the rental cost?
11:46 am
bichon
Yes, if money has been paid for the rental, then it is a done deal and they should still pay
11:47 am
fuquayvarina
Hey Scrabs, I think they should, for sure.
11:47 am
Scrabbler
I agree, but those 2 people have yet to make offer to pay so now I must ask.
11:49 am

Who paid actual cash fo the rental?

Kenny Chuck
Need clues for ke4/11 and ko4. Help please.
11:53 am
bichon
If you paid fo the rental and the money can't be refunded, I would guess you need ask the non comers to pay. It's touchy and awkward
11:55 am
Soodlebum
I agree with Bichon. Mind you, they shouldn't have left Scrabbler in the position of having to ask. They should have done the decent thing, and stumped up!
11:55 am
Scrabbler
Well, I just asked the one friend and she paused, then said she would pay for both herself + the other woman (was sick the night before we were to leave.) $164 total--not small amt. But, to cancel the morning of departure was, I thought, disrespectful.
11:55 am
Minski
hi everyone.
11:56 am
Scrabbler
I gave them a few days to make the offer to pay, and they did not, so I just did it.
11:56 am

good for you Scrabs

You live and learn, Scrabbler!
11:56 am

It's 86 degrees with 96% humidity outside and my daughters are sharing a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch. I think I'm just going to crawl into the refrigerator and take a nap.
11:57 am
Scrabbler
I have been SO anxious about this for the entire vacation, and now I am proud that I handled the issue.
11:57 am
Scrabbler
Yucky, Minski. I forget where you live.
11:57 am

you shouod be proud,Scrabs it was an awkward situation

Thanks Peri
11:59 am

I am so relieved, Peri. I didnot want hard feelings, either from me wanting to get paid the owed $, or for her arguing that she didn't need to pay.

I live in Massachusetts just North of Boston.

Minski
Scrabbler, you dealt with the situation well. Where are you going on your trip?
12:05 pm
Soodlebum
Oh Heavens above. My 18 yr old daughter has just come home with a tattoo - a small star on her inner wrist. :-(
12:07 pm
Deeha
Watch it Soodle - they appear to multiply. Mydaughter had a small one on her shoulder - now she must have several hundred pounds worth of them - back, ankle, wrist - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!
12:07 pm
Minski
My cousin did that at 18. Her parents had a hemiplastic fit and made her get an AIDS test. It is a tiny butterfly just inside her bikini line.
12:07 pm
Scrabbler
Sorry, busy on phone. We just spent 4 days in Cook Forest in Cooksburg, PA---wonderful place on the Clarion River. Great kayaking + hiking!
12:08 pm
Minski
I don't understand tattoos personally. Aside from my Daughters and DH, I can't think of anything I love enough to want it on my body at 85.
12:08 pm
Scrabbler
Sorry, Soodle. Her choice, her consequence to deal with.
12:09 pm
Scrabbler
I agree--I have zero interest in a permanent skin mark.
12:09 pm

*flops* what a weekend!
12:09 pm
Scrabbler
Minski, my friend's sister lives in North Andover.
12:09 pm
Deeha
I didnt get me ears pierced till I was 56 - then I could nt bear to look at the 'holes' for weeks!!
12:10 pm
Soodlebum
I had always told the kids that if they came home with a tattoo, I would get one too - I thought the shame of a tattooed mother would prevent them from getting one. And NO! This time I will not carry out my threat!
12:11 pm
Deeha
Really shock them Soodle - have your tongue pierced!!
12:11 pm
Soodlebum
Ata! Good or Bad 'what a weekend'?
12:12 pm
Atalante
good and bad. sister's big op went all very wrong which caused a lot of chaos
12:13 pm
Scrabbler
Uh, oh, Ata, what happened?
12:13 pm
Soodlebum
Oh I am so sorry. What happened?
12:13 pm
Atalante
he opened her up, discovered the hernia hole was actually a great big network of smaller holes, found adhesions between anything and everything and closed her back up before she could bleed out. Poor surgeon guy!
12:14 pm
Atalante
surgeon said it was the first time he'd ever had to completely back away from an operation *sigh8
12:15 pm
Soodlebum
So what happens now, Ata?
12:15 pm
Atalante
well that is an interesting question!
12:16 pm
Minski
lunchtime. bbl8r.
12:16 pm
Atalante
he said the whole thing could potentially rip / rupture any day, so she's under strict orders to do nothing. they are going to look into doing a really serious op at a big research hospital with a GI surgeon and a plastic surgeon to take out most of the bowel and reconstuct the internal walls. But whether she'd survive that is another atter
12:16 pm
Atalante
*matter
12:16 pm
Soodlebum
Can she be treated with meds?
12:17 pm
Atalante
not for that, nope
12:17 pm
Soodlebum
OH, that is just too bad. How old is she?
12:18 pm
wht
Hi all. How is it that some Babblers leave for lunch and some come to Babbleland for lunch?
12:18 pm

Ata, That is so unfortunate about your sister.
12:18 pm
Soodlebum
Ata, that is just terrible. I am very sorry to hear it.
12:19 pm
Atalante
she;s not going to have any organs left!!! poor girl
12:19 pm
Deeha
How sad, Ata. I am so sorry.
12:21 pm
Atalante
soooo we'll see what happens! but she's at home again now which cheered her up immensely
12:21 pm

Poor girl, Ata!
12:21 pm

How is she feeling now?
12:22 pm

Hi River. Hows Keith?
12:24 pm

He is good - just hanging about playing video games
12:24 pm
Deeha
It is 6.30 in the evening here and I am watching - well-listening to the Murray match at Wimbledon
12:25 pm
Riverdance
and chasing his sister off the computer when he can
12:25 pm
wht
I'm here on lunch too. Not taking a poll but I noticed that Minski was leaving for lunch just as I arrrived for lunch.
12:26 pm
Soodlebum
Lol. Deeha - You shouldn't have given that time-check. I should be cooking dinner. Now I'm not cooking dinner, and feeling mildly guilty.
12:26 pm
Riverdance
popcorn is good for dinner...
12:28 pm
Riverdance
we are letting Keith choose our dinners all week - he is killing me at the grocery store
12:28 pm
Scrabbler
Uh, oh, first 2 afternoon patients have arrived--sisters. I will have to leave soon.
12:28 pm
Atalante
watching Murray too
12:28 pm
Riverdance
most kids want junk - mine wants delmonico steaks and haddock
12:29 pm
Riverdance
two for the price of one???
12:29 pm

I always book my kids together too
12:30 pm
Soodlebum
Phew. Fireworks -Now I can go and feed the starving... Bye everybody.
12:30 pm

Yep, we call 2 sib appts "doubles". The most I ever did was a group of 6 sibs together--chaos!
12:30 pm
Riverdance
congrats and bye soodle
12:30 pm
Riverdance
yikes
12:31 pm
Riverdance
my sons pediatrician called last week when she heard about Keith - she recommended a medical bracelet or pendant - I need to look into that
12:31 pm
Scrabbler
Groups of sibs = teasing, laughing, inattention, pissed off mother, confusion...
12:31 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, if he has WPW.
12:31 pm
Scrabbler
Your pharmacy will have info.
12:32 pm
Riverdance
they are doing the ablation next week
12:32 pm
Scrabbler
So he had the cardiac cath already?
12:32 pm
Riverdance
no - all at the same time - they are sure they will find wpw looking at his ekg's and history
12:33 pm
Scrabbler
Over the years, I have known many kids that all did well with their ablation procedures. Youngest was 6.
12:33 pm
Atalante
what did they decide was wrong with him, river?
12:33 pm
Scrabbler
He was a triplet, born with SVT that recurred for years.
12:33 pm
Riverdance
it will all depend on where this pathway is - if near the AV node that could be a problem
12:34 pm
Scrabbler
Ata, read about Wolffe-Parkinson-White Syndrome and delta waves.
12:36 pm

1:06 pm
MizHoffle
Popping for 10 min before leaving for work
1:07 pm
rubyfoo
hello dancer and ormal!
1:07 pm
MizHoffle
this seems like a really tough puzzle
1:07 pm
Riverdance
maybe I can help
1:07 pm
rubyfoo
not so bad!
1:07 pm
Ormal
hi, how are you all today?
1:07 pm
MizHoffle
maybe my brain just needs a little waking up
1:08 pm
rubyfoo
as long as I have more than half, I'm happy!
1:09 pm
Riverdance

1:18 pm
Riverdance
we are under alert for severe storm watch until 9 tonight
1:18 pm
Riverdance
must be coming up from your way
1:19 pm
rubyfoo
we could use some rain as no matter how much we get, because we're on a hillside, two days later it's very dry
1:19 pm
Ormal
I think it must be. I knew it was supposed to rain, but I have a small creek building in my yard.
1:20 pm
rubyfoo
I hope your house is on high ground, ormal
1:20 pm
Ormal
sure is, but the neighbors aren't quite so lucky. last time it rained like this their basements got fairly wet
1:22 pm
Riverdance
so what kind of ride did you have planned for tonight
1:22 pm
Ormal
I try to ride my bike about 7 miles 5-6 days a week around the lake here in town in an attempt to lose some of the weight gained by quitting smoking.
1:24 pm
Riverdance
thats great - too bad we are so far away from each other - I desperately need to do something too
1:25 pm
Ormal
I understand. It has taken a lot of time to get myself motivated and it's always better when you have someone to help keep you motivated.
1:25 pm
Riverdance
hey ruby - you still here
1:25 pm
rubyfoo
yes, quietly struggling to get a word or two
1:26 pm
rubyfoo
I feel rotten, everything hurts... whine whine!
1:26 pm
Riverdance
do you have the pr8 - to stick out
1:26 pm
Riverdance
did you overdo today
1:27 pm
rubyfoo
yes to that, too
1:27 pm
rubyfoo
but overdoing doesn't take much I'm afraid!
1:27 pm
Ormal
I'm on the list now and was quite sure there could not possibly be that many th words today...so far I only have one. lol
1:27 pm
Riverdance
a nice cold cocktail will help that - must be getting close to cocktail hour
1:28 pm
Riverdance
th5/14 = th* end + the **t in the hat
1:28 pm
rubyfoo
no, time to go now, see you tomorrow!
1:28 pm
Riverdance

The location doesn't change the fact that poverty + lack of education lead to many, many problems, whether on this reservation, inner city, rural areas, etc. It is a sad, daily encounter for me.
1:43 pm
Scrabbler

finally found "Chicken Breasts with Honey Balsamic Glaze" on the Weight Watchers website. I actually have all of the ingredients. DH won't have to go to the grocery store on the way home from work.
4:30 pm
Lady Biotch
is it raining there Minski?? I have had the chicken breast marinating all day but it is pouring and thunder and lightning in RI
4:30 pm
Lady Biotch
wanted to do them on the grill
4:31 pm
Minski
Not yet but by the looks of things it will be pretty soon. This is a nonstick skillet recipe so I'm all set.
4:32 pm
Nancy Boy
haha, rain...we have forgotten what that's like here ;) it's soooo hot!
4:33 pm
Lady Biotch
it was 85 here today NB but it has cooled off by 10 degrees now that this storm is blowing through very humid in rhode island
4:33 pm
Lady Biotch
but I am not complaining after the cold and snowy winter we had
4:34 pm
Minski
I checked out the radar on intellicast.com. You have a window of opportunity to grill but I'm not sure exactly when it iwll be. Depends on how fast the storm is moving.
4:34 pm
Nancy Boy
we had some great snow this winter - probably nothing like what you had, but enough to bring England to a standstill nonetheless ;) I love summer thunderstorms though...hope we'll be getting some.
4:34 pm
Minski
yeah it was 86 degrees but 96% humidity here
4:35 pm
Lady Biotch
maybe I will do them in a nonstick skillet had a little liquid smoke and pretend I did them on the grill!!
4:35 pm
Minski

4:36 pm
Lady Biotch
I am scared to death of thuderstorms dad freaked us out about them when we young
4:36 pm
Lady Biotch
he would run through the house unplugging almost every appliance if he could have got behind the stove and refrigerator he would have unplugged them too LOL
4:37 pm
Minski
I love to watch them from inside a house or a car. It is great to watch one in the distance when you are driving on the highway.
4:37 pm
Lady Biotch
I was driving from Dallas to Houston many years ago and lighting hit the median about 100 feet in front of us
4:38 pm
Nancy Boy
they remind me of being back in Korea - there'd be awesome storms there in summer, and I used to stay up and watch them when I was a kid.
4:38 pm
Lady Biotch
as we drove by there was this big puff of steam or smoke again....freaked me out

I've just started this grid, though, and I don't think I will finish, not least because I have one index finger bound up after an Unfortunate Fire Starting Accident this weekend. Makes it hard to type
5:34 pm
Nancy Boy
hello, Samantha :) weeell, some stuff happened since the original incident that I don't really want to talk about (it's not really chat log material!) - it ended up, moving out was the best.

Here is a story of clues fr 4/7 Minveryork. Pr5/12 to starting this grid, I woke up early this morning to he 4/5 ea4/6 of the birds ch5/16ing. Also had a massive headac4/6 because of a hangover. I was still ti 4/4d and in a bad mood and I had a ch 4/6 on my shoulder. I ru 4/6 drinking so much last night. Guess that's the pr 5/14 I have to pay for drinking too much. My dog woke up early in his ca 4/7. He did not ca 4/5 that it was 5:00 A.M., he was up barking ea5/14 to get out. My doggy wanted me to get my butt in ge 4/6 and let him out. He barked so much that he was fr5/18ing at the mouth. He also to 4/4 up his blanket. His barking ir 5/20 me so much. I thought it was ru 4/6 of him to wake me up so early. I wanted to wh 4/10 him. I was not going to tr 4/8 outside in the rain to let him out. I couldn't endu4/6 his barking so I put him in another room&closed the door.Wish I could hi4/5 someone to tend to my dog at 5:00 A.M. On my way back to bed, I tr 4/5ed over a stupid doggy toy which pr 8/55 out from under the couch. I was an over re7/32 and I re 5/12 badly by cursing at the toy. Then I I re5/14 for the toy and threw it across the room. Thinking back on it, it was quite a ri 4/4. I woke up again later in a much ri 5/12 mood. When I went to let him out later, he was sleeping. When I opened his ca4/7,he pe6/36 right up. I took him out and pi5/16 the ball to him.He loves playing with a ball. Hope you found some mo4/5 words wi4/9 this story. By the way, only part of this story is tr4/5.Now I'm going to call my friend er 5/12

nice - I used to compost them heavily in the fall
8:52 pm
Minski
When we first moved in I didn't know what those dead looking sticks were so I cut them down to the ground and threw them out. No flowers that year. I haven't touched them since. Every year I have gotten a few more. This year was a bumper crop. It hink because of the amount of rain we got in teh early spring.
8:53 pm
