just read the chog, if Christine isn't still here, pls tell her that prayers are coming from France, too!
3:30 am
Christine

Oh, just came back - thanks you Rybyfoo. Although we were divorced, and he was married for almost 40years, at one time he was the most important person in my life ('til I had our daughter)/ Je was a great guy, God bless him.
3:30 am
rubyfoo

{{christine}}
3:38 am
Christine

Huh - when did you change your name tp Rybyfoo ?
3:39 am
rubyfoo

I didn't see that. Is somebody else using a version of my name? uh oh, talk about identity theft!
3:40 am
Christine

I think babble needs spell-check.
3:43 am
Soodlebum

Morning girls. ((Rubes, or should I call you Rybyfoo?)) Hi Christine.... my condolences on your bereavement.
3:43 am
rubyfoo

{{soodle}}
3:43 am
rubyfoo

but where did rybyfoo come from, I didn't see it?
3:43 am
Christine

How goes your ca4/5 against the dog-owner, Ribyfoo?
3:44 am
rubyfoo

I'll know tomorrow, at least for the criminal part, and the first settlement
3:44 am
Christine

I mistyped yourname @ 3:30am.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

thank you for asking -- nothing like blassing for months about my troubles.....
3:44 am
Christine

Thank you Soodlebum.
3:45 am
rubyfoo

that was blabbing*
3:46 am
rubyfoo

phantom: he**ess
3:49 am
Christine

Rubyfoo, may I ask a personal question - and feel free to tell me to mind my own business -- what convinced you to retire to France? Do you have family there?
3:49 am
rubyfoo

I fell in love with France (and BTW, a Frenchman), when I was here in '64 with my 1st husband and baby.
3:50 am
rubyfoo

The love affair with the man lasted 14 years (by mail, mostly), but my feelings for France never changed.
3:50 am
Christine

YAour husband is not French?
3:50 am
rubyfoo

When B and I decided to get married, then retire, I convinced him that this would be a good place for a fresh start (he had 3 previous wives!!)
3:50 am
rubyfoo

no, he's from St. Louis and Miami
3:51 am
rubyfoo

so he bought me the house as an engagement present!
3:51 am
Christine

Got him away from them bad, bad wimmen?
3:51 am
Soodlebum

And whatever happened with the Frenchman, Rubes, (dare I ask....)
3:51 am
rubyfoo

I took about a year of looking around until we found the right corner of the country as he only knew Paris before
3:51 am
Christine

What a lovely man.
3:52 am
rubyfoo

I was getting ready to marry him in '78 when I realized that he was mjust like my 1st husband....and ran away screaming
3:52 am
Christine

My daughter went to Paris last year, to see an a]\
3:52 am
rubyfoo

he used to be, now we are both getting old and "the thrill" is gone....
3:52 am
rubyfoo

as is the money
3:53 am
Soodlebum

((((Ruby))))
3:53 am
rubyfoo

did she like Paris?
3:53 am
Christine

oops -- to see an exhibition of wartime clothes concocted by ordinary women. She loved it so much, she's going back in February.
3:53 am
rubyfoo

I'm just glad the house is mine, so that his children can't go after it when he's gone!
3:54 am
rubyfoo

unfortunately, we are not close to Paris, but are tucked away in the foothills of the Alps
3:54 am
Soodlebum

Ruby - my parents have been married for over 50 years - I always imagined that after that length of time, a companionable existence would be the order of the day. I was wrong! My folks fight tooth and nail..... If it wasn't sad, it would be hilarious.
3:54 am
rubyfoo

I love movies set during WW2, mainly because of the clothes!
3:55 am
Soodlebum

Christine, did you ever marry again?
3:55 am
rubyfoo

I'm just disenchanted with the institution. I would be perfectly happy to be friends; he, unfortunately, lives in a world of illusion
3:55 am
rubyfoo

Christine, was the ex who died the father of your daughter?
3:56 am
Christine

Nah -- once bitten, y'know. Jack used to say it was because after marriage to him, anything else woyld be a letdown. I think he was kidding.'
3:56 am
rubyfoo

they are all such egotists!
3:57 am
Christine

Yes, a lovely man, but our marriage wasn't right, I guess. He married again, and it lasted almost 40 years.
3:57 am
rubyfoo

my 1st husband remarried many years ago and still speaks ill of me. You'd think he'd let it go after 40 years!
3:57 am
rubyfoo

Bluebeard kept trying to get it right and it was with me, at least for a while.
3:58 am
Soodlebum

Hmm. I'm thinking 'Build a bridge & get over it', for the first Mr Ruby!
3:58 am
rubyfoo

Unfortunately, my son believes his father
3:58 am
rubyfoo

he was a jerk then and must still be one! And his wife is a total control-freak, but then-again, so is my son. AAAAh, only sons!
3:58 am
Christine

When we decided to divorce, we promised never to bad-mouth to our friends. And never, ever to Vanessa. I've seen that in other divorces.
3:59 am
Soodlebum

Ruby - a lot of men have the capacity to rewrite history in their own heads. Then they start believing their fiction.
3:59 am
rubyfoo

sadly, much of it is true, but no one was blameless, and I am very honest about it (except with B, who has no idea) hahahah
3:59 am
Christine

I;ve always told my daughter life is not a piece of knitting - you can't pull it apart, and redo it.
4:00 am
Soodlebum

Thats a great saying, Christine. I must remember that one, for the next argument I have with my daughters!
4:01 am
rubyfoo

I was too young and inexperienced when I married at 19 but my parents stood back and let it happen. They waited until I told them I was getting a divorce (almost 9 yrs later) to say "We never liked him!"
4:01 am
rubyfoo

there is nothing wrong with parents telling the truth
4:02 am
rubyfoo

I think the three of us could solve the world's problems!!!!
4:02 am
Soodlebum

One for all and all for one!!!
4:02 am
rubyfoo

world peace, the economy, everything!
4:03 am
rubyfoo

but I guess our children have to learn for themselfves
4:04 am
Soodlebum

Oh heck...Just when the world was about to be put to rights, I have to go and do a bit of work. Lovely chatting to you, girls.....Happy Thanksgiving. Poof
4:05 am
rubyfoo

{{soodle}} it is always lovely to see you but I'm sorry I wasn't around when you had your recent "bad day"
4:06 am
Soodlebum

Thanks Ruby ((()))). It was a bit of a blip....... but things seem to be back on an even keel. Real Poof....
4:06 am
Christine

Have you seen the Thanksgiving quote in my profile?
4:07 am
rubyfoo

no, I will look
4:08 am
Christine

I hope things get better for you, Soodlebum
4:08 am
rubyfoo

that is a riot, christine
4:09 am
rubyfoo

I have given up on turkey. What they give away in US supermarkets if you spend $50, costs more than $125 in Switzerland. Not worth spending that kind of money for French people who don't "get" it anyway
4:09 am
rubyfoo

Now, husband and I will have a quiet capon with my mother's traditional stuffing and pumpkin pie!
4:10 am
rubyfoo

they used to eat swans in England in the 16th century!
4:14 am
Christine

Now my daughter is in charge of the entertaining, and I make only the cranberry re6/21
4:15 am
rubyfoo

speaking of swans and gulls, I had better make lunch! Do you make it raw with orange and sugar?
4:15 am
rubyfoo

it's my fave, but we can't get fresh cranberries very often
4:16 am
rubyfoo

and thanks for the word; I tried de**** but it didn't take
4:18 am
Christine

I use the recipe on the back of the package. Oranges, a little sugar and the cranberries, through a food mincer and that IS delish !
4:18 am
rubyfoo

exactly!
4:18 am
rubyfoo

only I use more than a little sugar
4:19 am
Christine

I could send you a couple of packages of cranberries - do you think they would make a safe journey?
4:19 am
rubyfoo

this year, I only have cranberry jam, but it wil have to do
4:19 am
rubyfoo

my friend brought Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix, so I'm in good shape for my giblet, chestnut, walnut stuffing
4:20 am
rubyfoo

it's too late, but thank you. Maybe next year! When you come and visit
4:20 am
rubyfoo

my son brought cans of Libby's pumpkin, so I can make a pumpkin tart (no crisco here for pie crust)
4:21 am
Christine

Well, if you want some for Christmas, drop me a line. My affress is in my profile.
4:21 am
rubyfoo

but it will be just the two of us; I'm not up for a big fancy party -- getting too old and don't feel like spending the $$$
4:21 am
Christine

**address, of course.
4:21 am
rubyfoo

You are so sweet, Christine, thank you (my eyes are filled!)
4:22 am
rubyfoo

I alwys choke up at the Thanksgiving toast which I have always had to give in English and then, translated. I am too emotional, I think
4:23 am
Christine

I think my daughter and her husband are going to friends 0- I'm invited, but I'd really rather stay home, where I can take a nap if I want to. I can do that at Vanessa's house, but not at a friend's party.
4:23 am
rubyfoo

when you have lunch with French people, it takes at least 3 hours, at the end of which I am totally collapsed
4:24 am
Christine

I have a friend who returned to Australia, and misses things like liquid smoke, and saran wrap, so I send her care packages, and she sends me Australian candy which I pass on to my neighbour.
4:25 am
rubyfoo

my son's wife is a vegetarian, so I don't think their Thanksgiving is much - he refuses to cook his turkeys my way, instead barbeques them (so Texas!)
4:25 am
rubyfoo

it is funny, the products we miss. I just sent some canned chestnuts to my son.
4:25 am
Christine

I like long meals - especiallky when we all used to smoke, and we'd sit for hours, but now ...
4:26 am
rubyfoo

I miss: 1. decent steak, 2. all paper products, 3. correctly labeled food, 4. good pork, 5. SEAFOOD!
4:26 am
Christine

My former husband married a vegetarian - killing animals was wrong, but they'd eat Thanksgiving turkey, Easter ham or lamb
4:27 am
rubyfoo

my back won't let me sit at the table for that long; if I could eat lying down (like my dogs do), I'd be fine!
4:27 am
rubyfoo

Now I have to make lunch for B. This has been a lovely chat, Christine. I look forward to the next one.
4:27 am
Christine

I have a lovely restaaurant nearby that leaved the fat on steak while cooking, and for me he leaves it on when delivering it to me. I like fat !!
4:28 am
rubyfoo

son's wife has been a strict vegetarian since she was 7 and has always been anemic. It is lucky they decided not to have children.
4:28 am
rubyfoo

The fat is the best part!

Morning all. Just stumbling in here. Christine, I recently bought a cookbook called "Fat."
4:29 am

French beef and pork are too lean
4:29 am

hi and bye jayk!
4:29 am

God put fat there for a reason TASTE !!I think it's time for me to go - it's almost 2:30am.

Yes it is. Good eye!!

4:33 am
Christine

Some of my online quiltie friends in BC had a chance to see the quilts this summer, at a local quilt shop.
4:34 am
Jayk

there was a big exhibit here a couple of years ago. Stunning!
4:36 am
Christine

Do you quilt?
4:36 am
Jayk

I used to. Since I moved to Atl from VT there is no room. quilting is a BIG space-occupier
4:38 am
Lilecama

hello everyone! How's the grid today. Tis a biggie, so just checking chances of finishing before I dive in.. :)
4:39 am
Christine

I like playing with the fabric, but have no interest in quilting the finihed product. I send my blocks, or top to a friend who's guild makes quilts for retuning servicemen and women.
4:40 am
Jayk

That was me too. I love putting the pieces together, but not the quilting part
4:44 am
Christine

My guild has agreed to make 70 twinsizrd for a youth shelter that's opening next year -- there's only twelve of us left in the guild, and most months only 6 or 8 come to the meeting.
4:45 am
Jayk

SEVENTY!!!!?
4:46 am
Christine

Lilecama - hello, sorry I ignored you.
4:48 am
Lilecama

ah, :) hello Christine. I was beginning to think I was invisible! But I reckon what with the massive grid and you doing the chatting about quilting (at pro level I gather!!) you're already multi tasking! :)
5:06 am
redturtlehead

sneaking a peek at the grid. Ohhhh a huge one. Will be back in 3-4 hours to complete.
5:59 am

just skimmed the chog, looking for clues. didn't even reach half this morning but had a wonderful chat with Christine and Soodle
5:59 am
rubyfoo

We solved all the world's problems
6:00 am
rubyfoo

I used to buy antique quilts or just the tops when I lived in upstate NY. The best top I had, from the 19th C, had all the women's names attached with pins to the various sections.
6:01 am
rubyfoo

When one of my dogs died suddenly, I removed the pins and used it as a shroud for burying her in the garden. Haven't been able to look at quilts ever since
6:01 am

aaah, sad November.....see you later

acai
6:12 am
Michnick

Ah, is that the one that's supposed to make you skinny?
6:13 am
Trifioso

and straighten your hair, and prolong your life, and cure cancer, and work as a laxative.....honestly, how did we make it this long?
6:14 am
Michnick

Hmmm. Maybe it exists in life the way it exists on the grid????
6:14 am
Trifioso

i am sure its equally useful, anyway
6:15 am
Michnick

Well thanks, you just saved me about $500, lose 50 lbs in two weeks or your money back!
6:15 am
Trifioso

i am fairly certain the stuff about it being a laxative is very true -- i fear that will be the secret to the weight loss....
6:18 am
littlebit

and just like ay other miracle diet cure, i'm sure you have to change your diet and excercise in order for it to really work

You've told me so before, crossy, but then sometimes, when I'm stealth babbling, I see you telling others the same. So, you're lying to them, right?

th7/36, th plus Mr Clapton with extra vowel before the end, add another vowel at the end for th8/50, make that plural for th9, then plural the original th7/36 for the last in the series.
9:29 am
Haz1558

Take Mr Clapton's first name and put a vowel in before the last consonant.

LOL!!! A heron *giggle*
9:42 am

My daughter sent a link because the photographer in question is publishing a book of dog photographs, but I was intrigued to find out more. They're works of art.
9:42 am

They are stuning photos.

That's as close to a bat as I ever want to get.
9:43 am
FMitch

Found the strangest thing this morning when I went out into the garden. I have a couple of metal poles shaped like a shepherds crook that I hang the bird feeders from, one for seeds and the other for suet balls. I put the suet balls out yesterday for the first time this autumn and this morning the pole was leaning over at quite an angle.

I thought maybe the wind had made it lean overnight but when I investigated it had been bent over about 20 degrees and the metal container was bent too!

I guess a fox must have come into the garden and tried pulling at it to get the contents!!!

Can't think what else it would have been.
9:44 am
Haz1558

My money is on a heron. They're not to be trusted, just ask ruby.
9:45 am

Much as I love you Haz I think the heron story just ain't gonna work.

Hi all. FM I would guess badger.
9:46 am

in my neighborhood it could be a bear
9:46 am

I suppose an elephant on the run from a circus would have made a much bigger impact.
9:46 am

I wondered about a badger but I have a high garden wall
9:46 am
Sally-catlover

No gaps anywhere? Front gate?
9:46 am

But aren't there balancing badgers?
9:47 am

are all the bottom S's SC ?
9:47 am
Sally-catlover

Why isn't tiddle or tiddles accepted?
9:47 am
FMitch

No tiny garden and a 5' brick wall with open fence above at the back.
9:48 am
Sally-catlover

A badger with a step ladder?
9:48 am
FMitch

Balancing badgers - Haz is losing the plot.
9:48 am
Haz1558

sa7/36 also comes from that bottom s.
9:48 am

wow Gamer - a bear would certainly cause a stir round h4.

10:15 am

10:16 am
Atalante

they really were brilliant
10:16 am
Haz1558

I thought they were very cleverly done and very funny in parts as well.
10:16 am
hurshy

except that the original sherlock did ca4 about people, i think. they have made this one more like the house version of holmes in that respect.
10:17 am

Yes they are.

Did I ever tell you about my neighbours? At the time when the Mir space station was circling the earth, they were outside looking up to see if they could see it. 'It should be possible,' said the husband, ' because it's night time and they'll have the lights on.'

Strangely, when we were in Corsica it was absolutely pitch black, no lights anywhere. We used to sit and watch the stars through binoculars, and one night did see a satellite going across. It was either that or a flying saucer, it went so fast, and we both voted for the satellite.

I am sure they can accomodate you Stid, I think they will find your request fairly easy!
11:31 am

that's what I figure -- worth asking. :-D on the plus side, it's raining, and if it actually snows overnight, maybe I won't have to go to campus tomorrow to do the quarter-end potluck!

it's a remote possibility (snow) but one can hope!

I want to teach middle school (11 - 14) in social studies and language arts but will also be certified to teach all ages and subjects up to the beginning of high school.

When they announce that we are going to break up into small groups and have some fun interactive time, I usually crawl under the table and head for the door at those seminars.

11:42 am
varumba

i hope schools in the US are better than here in the UK!
11:42 am
stidmama

In elementary school (up to grade 8 -- just before high school) many classrooms are "self contained" so one teacher does all except perhaps Physical education or music.
11:42 am
varumba

oh ok.... same as here in primary school then
11:42 am
Aloyisius

lol.. when I remember how horrid I was at that age, and imagine a room full of similar behavior, I shudder.. and then I remember my wonderful sixth grade teacher.. so important to have a good teacher at that age
11:43 am
Gail

Middle schoolers get very attached to teachers they trust and like, I think.
11:43 am
stidmama

depends in part on the school, I would NEVER take a job at the school I was just student teaching at -- for a LOT of reasons, not least that it cost me $1000 (almost) to make the commute over ten weeks.
11:43 am
varumba

omg! talk about expenses!
11:43 am
Aloyisius

ooch, ouch, no.. not there!
11:44 am

yeah, i just did a sub job today in a school i hadnt'gone to before: sheer horror....... 8 years old kids throwing abuse at each pther across the room, then getting out of their seat to fight it off.....
11:44 am
stidmama

and yes, I think it's possible to make connections with the students and bring them along. I think that the pendulum is going to begin to swing the other way fairly soon, taking emphasis off "teaching to the test" as so many schools are doing
11:44 am
stidmama

oh no varumba! how very sad.
11:45 am
Cherrypop

You should try being a substitute teacher! Fresh meat for the lion's den:)
11:45 am

what hurt me the most was the frigthened look of 3 lovely girls in there..... and not being able to really do much to makek them feel safer, other than get closer to them and stroke their hair
11:45 am
varumba

i do that on thursdays and fridays cherry, i know exactly what you mean!
11:46 am
stidmama

LOL cherrypop! yes, Mother tells me to try to avoid that -- but I think subbing for a while to learn which administrators are good to work with and which schools have good morale is going to be important for me.
11:46 am

oh dear -- look at the time. I must be off -- have a $15 coupon at a store I like that has the turtlenecks I like on sale!

jacq

he is very health conscious, low fat or no fat, but he says he's eating better and healthier now than ever before
1:19 pm
EvaNadine

capata = my language for potato...heh
1:19 pm
jacq

i've never had sweet potatoes, (unless i forget to salt them, but i doubt that's the same)
1:20 pm
crosshair

lol,thought it was some greek pie i had never heard of before
1:20 pm
EvaNadine

i heart sweet potatoes!
1:20 pm
MollyL

I think low fat is the most boring diet there is. I can do low carb, but not low fat.
1:20 pm
crosshair

i see low colesterol in my future
1:21 pm
crosshair

eva,i can make you sweet tater frittes that would bring a tear to yer eye:)
1:21 pm
EvaNadine

ooh, i bet you can, sir!
feel free, anytime!
1:21 pm
jacq

i have carbs every day, low fat food, steamed veggies (fresh) every day, lean meat products
1:22 pm
Nancy Boy

I fear my diet would make you all weep.
1:22 pm
EvaNadine

have you gone raw yet, jesse?
1:22 pm
jacq

NB, my diet also includes chocolate, sweets, cakes etc but only after 9pm
1:22 pm
MollyL

NB, let me guess. Rice, beans, veggies and fruit.
1:23 pm
crosshair

i use virgin olive oil and slice then thin,bout 1/4 the thickness of a french fry,and use 2 tbs of hot olive oil in a wok,toss in the sweet taters cook till golden and toss with a pinch or 2 of coarse sea salt
1:23 pm
jacq

it's my own way of making sure i don't lose too much weight
1:24 pm
MollyL

I want to know how they check and make sure all those olives are virgins. : D
1:24 pm
jacq

LOLOLOLOLOLOL molly
1:24 pm
jacq

surely part of the checking would mean they are no longer
1:25 pm
Nancy Boy

Don't think I could go raw, hmm. I have too much fun cooking.
1:25 pm
crosshair

if you pluck them and they say ni,yer all set
1:25 pm
MollyL

"Make sure I don't lose too much weight". Oh God, I want to use that phrase in truth sometime.
1:25 pm
crosshair

no
1:25 pm
Nancy Boy

LOL Jac. Oh sure. Olives = sluts
1:25 pm
jacq

LOL
1:25 pm
EvaNadine

i expect some amazing, healthy korean food someday when i finally make it back over the pond!
1:25 pm
jacq

if they are processed with non virgins surely they are all tainted
1:25 pm

jacq

Molly, i eat about 1000 calories before bedtime or i would weigh about 7 1/2 stone
1:26 pm
Nancy Boy

just tell me what you like, Eva ;)
1:28 pm
Nancy Boy

Jac, I'm on a reeeal big-eating regime at the moment. Currently I weigh 95 pounds. Need to gain about 20 more!
1:28 pm
EvaNadine

well, most of the korean i am familir with is meat. bul gogi was a family favorite. so i guess i will have to be educated. :)
1:29 pm
EvaNadine

jacq, do you have some sort of bodily disorder? or do you really just have that good of a metabolism?

(im with molly, i would like to be able to say that phrase, just once!)
1:30 pm
Nancy Boy

I do a lot of meat substituting when I cook Korean...it's pretty good because meat tends to be kind of an accessory, rather than a main ingredient. Plus, there's not a whole lot of dairy issues to worry about.
1:30 pm
jacq

it can be just as hard to gain weight NB, i know this, try those high calorie drinks, one at bedtim, one in bed that will help
1:30 pm
jacq

it's just my metabolism, the only good thing i got from my dad, my brothers are the same
1:30 pm
EvaNadine

95 pounds?!
oh dear god, NB, i weigh over twice as much as you!

::weeps::
1:30 pm

1:31 pm

1:31 pm
dfmchfhf

:o/ I find that the more I eat, the less weight I end up gaining...
1:32 pm
Nancy Boy

Right, Jac. I lost a whole lot recently so I'm just...carbs carbs carbs right now. All the things that I would NEVER have eaten before, I'm suddenly stocking up on!
1:32 pm
Nancy Boy

it's a work in progress Eva, I do NOT wanna be this size for long!
1:32 pm
jacq

try those drinks, i think it's complan, laoded with vits and minerals too
1:32 pm
EvaNadine

you must be swimming in your skinny jeans, dearest!
1:33 pm
jacq

same here, i would love to be a uk12, comfortable with no bones sticking out
1:34 pm
MollyL

I would like to volunteer some weight for Jac and NB. Hey, it's the least I can do for friends.
1:34 pm
EvaNadine

i dont need to be a size 4 or anything, but i would like to be a size i can regularly find in the stores.
i had an emotional breakdown the other week trying to find pants for the winter because i couldnt even find pants i could get into, let alone ones that actually fit properly.
1:34 pm
EvaNadine

me too, molly!
does insurance cover lipo in that case??
1:34 pm
jacq

i blame the fashion industry, clothes are cut wrong for curves
1:35 pm
MollyL

We will force them to Eva.
1:35 pm
jacq

my friend is a size 20 and she struggles to find clothes that are comfortable
1:35 pm
MollyL

I agree Jac. The clothing industry is at fault. Their sizing is preposterous.
1:35 pm
jacq

they are either too tight in places or too short in the legs and sleeves
1:36 pm
MollyL

I have a friend who used to own a bridal salon. She had women breaking down in tears because they thought they were a size six and needed a size 10 dress.
1:36 pm
jacq

they take the clothes they make for size 0's and simply make them bigger, they forget women have curves, we don't all go straight up and down
1:36 pm
EvaNadine

i have a tiny waist, but thick thighs and a big-ol-booty. pants are impossible.
1:37 pm
Jivingjenny0

Because I am only 5ft4ins I find the bigger sizes are too long in the sleeve. I can alter trousers but not jumpers
1:37 pm
jacq

hello jenny
1:37 pm
MollyL

Apparently Kate Middleton does. I saw that see through outfit she modeled. That is one curve-less woman. She has great legs though.
1:37 pm
EvaNadine

molly -- wedding dresses are the worst! their sizing really is totally different!
thankfully, i knew that befor i shopped for mine, so i didnt care what size they ordered me...
1:37 pm
sprite

hi jenny
1:37 pm
jacq

i found when i was skinnier that size 6's were fine in the waist but too short in the legs and crotch
1:38 pm
jacq

and sleeves were way too short
1:38 pm
Nancy Boy

oh my god, I have so many issues with finding clothes here. They are all built for big ol' British boys!
1:39 pm

Nope.
4:33 pm
Becca Lorum

We have Calpol.
4:33 pm

4:34 pm
lil*monkey

yes , stid is correct , they are the same thing
4:34 pm
cosdem

4:34 pm
lil*monkey

the sedative is just antihistamine

4:35 pm
lil*monkey

tassagram said a worrrrrrrrrrrd
5:00 pm
jacq

time for me to give up, have fun and fireworks everyone
5:01 pm
lil*monkey

PB for tessagram
5:01 pm
ch1212

This is a special touring exhibit at the Pacific Science Center, with props and stuff and sets from all 7 movies
5:01 pm
cosdem

im rather upset.. last night the bio channel ran maybe 5 documentaries on HP...and i missed them all.
5:02 pm
lil*monkey

what is HP cos
5:02 pm
cosdem

harry potter
5:02 pm
ch1212

Haven't seen them yet, cos, but we have dvr so I taped them. They will be airing again all month.
5:02 pm
lil*monkey

oh OK
5:02 pm
cosdem

ahh ok i will have to set my dvr.. i have two dvrs :) one for me and one for my worse half lol
5:02 pm
cosdem

since we dont like the same shows :)
5:02 pm
lil*monkey

i love hermine, but why did she cut her hair? What an idiot!
5:03 pm
cosdem

Agreed monkey.. she looked a lot better with long hair.
5:03 pm
cosdem

ron on the other hand looks better with short hair..
5:03 pm
redturtlehead

agreed on that one...
5:03 pm
ch1212

Well in all fairness lil, Hermione did NOT cut her hair, but the actress who plays her decided to cut her hair after filming ended. She said after 10 years it was time :)
5:04 pm
ch1212

I guess we can't fault the kids for wanting to be seen as grown-ups now that the movies have wrapped. But I agree --- she looked better in long hair.
5:04 pm
cosdem

ok emma then :)
5:04 pm
lil*monkey

ch121, I just said Hermine because I don't know her real name
5:04 pm
redturtlehead

Hair that is long can be very heavy and hard to manage.
5:04 pm
cosdem

it's emma watson and i'm such a loser cause i know all of their real names lol
5:05 pm
ch1212

Oh lil, I knew that -- I was just teasing with you :D
5:05 pm
cosdem

i am very excited to see imelda staunton again in the new movie... Umbridge is one of my favorite villains ever.. when i read OOTP... i was so angry at her i threw the book a few times
5:06 pm
ch1212

Umbridge is indeed one of the best villains ever. (Shuddering to remember those pink outfits!)
5:06 pm
lil*monkey

anyway, emma/hermine looks like cr*p with that ugly boy haircut, i'm just sayin.......
5:07 pm
ch1212

I'll bet she grows it back out after she lives with it for awhile.
5:07 pm
cosdem

i was debating a while ago on whether i should write an unauthorized biography on Dolores Umbridge :)
5:08 pm
lil*monkey

BBL, i 'm going to pay bills now
5:08 pm
ch1212

Oh! Oh! GREAT idea, cos... and then you can explain her awful childhood and experiences that led her to be the horrible woman she became.
5:08 pm
ch1212

Bye Lil :)
5:08 pm
cosdem

yes exactly
5:08 pm
cosdem

i think i will..
5:08 pm
ch1212

Or maybe she was just born psychopathic...maybe she tortured dogs as a child
5:09 pm
cosdem

or maybe she is in reality... a squib LOL
5:09 pm
ch1212

No doubt she has a secret background involving muggle blood, of which she carries a deep shame
5:10 pm
ch1212

A squib! LOL!
5:10 pm
cosdem

right. and maybe who knows.. she was tom riddle's girlfriend at hogwarts?
5:10 pm
ch1212

Ahhhh... no, bet she was the girl who had a huge crush on him, but was cruelly rejected.
5:11 pm
cosdem

but that wouldnt explain why she is on his side now
5:11 pm
cosdem

maybe he never said no but.. you know.. let her follow him around like a puppy
5:11 pm
ch1212

Oh, but it would... see cos, you have to get inside the twisted mind of some women ;)... let me explain :D
5:11 pm
cosdem

haha okay
5:12 pm
cosdem

oh oh oh NO better thought..
5:12 pm
cosdem

she had a crush on severus snape.. but he rejected her because he was in love with lily potter
5:12 pm
cosdem

which is why she hates harry!
5:12 pm
ch1212

Ooooh, yes -- that would make more sense!
5:13 pm
cosdem

therefore she joined voldemort's ranks
5:13 pm
cosdem

ok the book is starting to look feasible now lol
5:14 pm
ch1212

Still carrying a torch for Severus, but so deep she can't even admit it to herself. She had fantasies after Lily was killed that Severus would wake up and notice her, but alas...
5:15 pm
ch1212

Now you know, Cos, you have to post the chapters for us Babblers to read as you finish them!
5:15 pm
cosdem

i will!
5:15 pm
cosdem

i'll post it in my profile :)
5:16 pm
MollyL

Cos, what a cool idea for a book.
5:16 pm
cosdem

i gotta re-read OOTP and DH now to research her background some more.
5:16 pm
ch1212

Good idea. I'll check back from time to time. Now I'm diving back into the grid *poof*
5:16 pm
cosdem

have fun! :)
5:17 pm
MollyL

It would soften people to the character of Umbridge as did the back story on Snape and Lily.
5:17 pm
cosdem

yes molly exactly
5:18 pm
cosdem

i hated severus for a long time.. til the last two books.
5:18 pm
cosdem

i was so adamant that severus actually killed... you know who... because he was really working for Voldermort
5:20 pm
MollyL

Since I have a mad crush on Alan Rickman, I was happy to see Snape's character fleshed out the way it was.
5:20 pm
cosdem

phew.. C words done.
5:20 pm
cosdem

i have a mad crush on rupert grint :)
5:20 pm
cosdem

i will admit i loved that harry named his son after snape...
5:21 pm
cosdem

im looking forward to the three new HP books Jo said she would most likely write...not sure if its a prequel or a sequel
5:21 pm
MollyL

That really brought the whole Snape/Lily/Harry thing full circle.
5:22 pm
cosdem

i'm hoping for it to be a prequel.. the first war
5:22 pm
MollyL

Well, it would have to be filling in the missing years that she didn't write about, wouldn't it? There would be no Harry in a prequel, the stories started when he was a baby.
5:23 pm
cosdem

hm true
5:23 pm
cosdem

what happens after voldemort.. the trials, the death eaters...
5:24 pm
MollyL

Rowling could do that, it just wouldn't involve Harry. I wonder how that would go over.
5:24 pm
cosdem

hm yeah. it wouldnt make sense to call it "Harry Potter and the....." without Harry
5:25 pm
cosdem

i also want to see more background of Aunt Petunia though.
5:27 pm
cosdem

ok i need a break bbl
5:29 pm

6:07 pm
stidmama

I saw the saddest thing today -- a young man on the street corner holding up a begging sign that read "convicted felon. can't get a job. anything helps."
6:07 pm
stidmama

to be so young and to have screwed up so much that no one wants to hi4 you.
6:08 pm

6:11 pm
cosdem

its just sad people are not willing to look past a simple mistake like drinking and driving
6:11 pm
cosdem

k-mart wouldnt even hire him because of that.
6:12 pm
stidmama

unfortunately it's not simple. people DIE because of it. and usually not the one who was drinking.
6:13 pm
periwinkle

ditto what stid said
6:13 pm
cosdem

yeah its a bad choice of words
6:13 pm
cosdem

i knew that as soon as i hit enter :)
6:13 pm
cosdem

i pretty much ripped him a new one.. i didnt bail him out i let him sit in jail overnight.
6:14 pm
stidmama

I am just glad that he is turning things around. It can be hard to come back from something like that.
6:14 pm
cosdem

the police found him in a ditch with his foot on the gas pedal..
6:14 pm
cosdem

he acted like it was no big deal. i was furious.
6:15 pm
stidmama

good for you. I would have done the same. I did write a couple times a week many years ago to a friend who had a repeat offense and ended up in jail for many months.
6:15 pm
stidmama

oh gee. that's pretty wasted.
6:15 pm
cosdem

i made him sleep on the couch for a few weeks :)

6:16 pm

I gotta admit Cosdem as a person who was very nearly killed by a drunk driver, I don't see it as a mistake, it was a choice.
6:16 pm
cosdem

yes!
6:16 pm
redturtlehead

that said. I am pleased to hear that your SO is in a better place these days!
6:16 pm
cosdem

oh yeah it was a choice at that time yes i agree
6:16 pm
cosdem

but it was a mistake he made..and a choice.. both if that makes sense
6:16 pm
cosdem

which is why i was furious. he knew better.
6:17 pm
redturtlehead

I've made some choices that turned into mistakes indeed.
6:17 pm

I always thought Santa was in the Macy's parade to remind children that it was a month until Christmas. Be nice, not naughty, and all that. Being a Pagan by nature, I am not ready to celebrate Yule until the harvest celebration is complete. Ergo, Christmas decorations are too early in November. It's nice that we all celebrate in the way that makes us content.
7:13 pm
cosdem

btw.... do u know anyone named holly? she added me as a friend on fb an im trying to figure out who she is her
7:16 pm

Hi Jellen. Didn't see you before. How are you doing? Life and gridwise.
9:36 pm
Jellen

Life is good! Grid is okay...
9:36 pm
Jacula

Jellen - glad to hear life is good and just yell i f you need a grid clue.
9:37 pm
Jacula

OOps, PB for me because I just typed an he4 word.
9:38 pm
Jellen

di 9/60 please?
9:41 pm
Jacula

Jellen - one of the definitions is this: the separation of two adjacent vowels, dividing one syllable into two. Failing that, think of uncrontollable bowel movement for first 3 letteres, then add a vowel, and then the short form of your female sibling.
9:42 pm
Jacula

Oh, and stick a consonant between the vowel and your sibling.
9:43 pm
Jacula

The last part of the word might be like to re + little sibling + consonant temptation.
9:43 pm
Jellen

Thanks, Jac
9:43 pm
Jacula

Am I making any sense?
9:44 pm
Jacula

Ah! It worked!
9:45 pm
Jellen

Between you and the reverse dictionary, it worked well!
9:45 pm
Jacula

I bet you got it from the definition re Google, rathe than from my clues. LOL
9:45 pm
Jacula

Never used the reverse dictionary, so would not know.
9:47 pm
Jacula

I still tend to rely on my brain for the answers. As I've got older, it's sometimes a hike up a load of stairs to the filiing cabinet that contains the answer, but I get there in the end. LOL
9:47 pm
Jellen

lol
9:47 pm

That's how a 53 year old brain, full of all sorts of extra crap, works.

9:50 pm

I once used to know the name of every plant in my garden in both English and in Latin. These days, the Latin name comes to mind first. This is worrying, since Latin was one of my worst subjects at school.

Hi, jmc
9:51 pm

although it would come in handy in Babble
9:51 pm
Jacula

jmc - actually it was a great subject to have studied for one interested in words, their source and meanings.
9:52 pm
jmcnrick

hmm i am a dilettante and a dabbler when it comes to that
9:52 pm
Jacula

As a writer, I've never regretted taking Latin and always thanked the fact that I did. even though I was rubbish at it.
9:55 pm
Jacula

Mind you, having studied French at 4 years' old and done it until I was 15, also helped. As did knowing Welsh, studying German because I had a German b'f for a while, and I got some Portueguse and Spanish, too, along the way. All of that helps with finding words on Babble.

That's another thing I have been studying, African languages.
10:11 pm
jmcnrick

marafiki is plural
10:11 pm
Jacula

watoto is probaby the formal form, like in French.
10:12 pm
jmcnrick

i like that they put the plural on the front of the word but it must make looking things up in the dictionary hard
10:13 pm
jmcnrick

hmm the swahili translator translates watoto to children

Esperanto, as a so-called world language din't work. So, let's all just learn like children and eventuaall, we'll all be able to talk.
10:17 pm
Jacula

I seem to be losing my ability to type word endings. Time to go, I guess.
10:17 pm
Trifioso

oh, esperanto....god bless it....
10:19 pm
Jacula

Between every language in the world, there are links that make them understandable. Though I admit that for Poland, Russia etc., you have to learn the alphabet, as you do for Welsh.
10:20 pm
Jacula

But when you hear the words spoken, if you know enough languages, their IS a link between almost all.
10:21 pm

yeah, the textbox was filled with about two hours of being asleep on the G key, and I for some reason decided the best way to deal with that was to hit the Enter key. :o\
10:43 pm
Jellen

:-)
10:46 pm
dfmchfhf

it took about 4 minutes for Babble to confirm its status as a word (or non-word really).
