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
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!
4:28 am
rubyfoo
{{Christine}}
4:29 am
Jayk
Morning all. Just stumbling in here. Christine, I recently bought a cookbook called "Fat."
4:29 am
rubyfoo
French beef and pork are too lean
4:29 am
rubyfoo
hi and bye jayk!
4:29 am
Christine
God put fat there for a reason TASTE !!I think it's time for me to go - it's almost 2:30am.
4:29 am
Jayk
Bye Ruby. Later
4:29 am
Christine
My kind of food.
4:30 am
Christine
Sleep well Rubyfoo.
4:31 am
Christine
Jayk, is your quilt a Gees Bend quit?
4:31 am
Jayk
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
rubyfoo
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
rubyfoo
aaah, sad November.....see you later
6:02 am
Michnick
Hi all. I am popping in for a few and I want to get to NBT before I go on to my 'real' work. Can anyone clue the A from the bottom row?
6:05 am
Trifioso

6:06 am
Michnick
thanks trif!! I have 124 left but NBT.
6:10 am

6:10 am
Michnick
OK I am over the halfway mark so I am going to try & make mailing labels for daughter's wedding invitation!
6:10 am
Michnick
(By the way, Yiddle should be a word!!)
6:11 am
Trifioso
gosh, I see everyone's new favorite berry is not an enable word....
6:11 am
Michnick
What's that berry trif?
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
6:18 am
Michnick
Probably, okay, I'll stick with my big belly, wedding or no wedding. I am off to do mailing labels. BBL

7:16 am
car.eeyore
I got a great email yesterday about the rain and how to take the opportunity to open your senses and interpret it as a cleanser for your body and soul. It was a very nice way to think of the rain!
7:17 am

Yay car.e I've got all the w's m's and h's but am missing one flipping c.

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.

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

Wow Haz, that photographer is amazing. That picture of the elephant's eyelash was amazing.
9:41 am
Haz1558
Aren't they fantastic, Molly?
9:41 am
Haz1558
I have, FM. I'm telling you, it's a heron.
9:42 am
FMitch
LOL!!! A heron *giggle*
9:42 am
Haz1558
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.
9:42 am
Haz1558
Tell the rest what happened, FM and see if they can come up with a culprit.
9:43 am

Oh OK hang on a sec and I will copy the email ......

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
Gamer714
in my neighborhood it could be a bear
9:46 am
Haz1558
I suppose an elephant on the run from a circus would have made a much bigger impact.
9:46 am
FMitch
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
Haz1558
But aren't there balancing badgers?
9:47 am
hurshy
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.

Bit of both to be honest hursh or at least that was how I felt with the darned things.

Hi and bye Annie.

You were quick off the mark, Annie, nice to see you.

hellooooo
10:15 am
Atalante
theres going to be a series smurshy
10:15 am

Hello Ata!

10:15 am
Atalante
if Martin Freeman is still available, anyway
10:15 am
Atalante
yes, a longer series
10:15 am
hurshy
well i LOVED them. i think the character is the most like the original of the books of any tv sherlock yet (no offense jeremy brett)
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
Sally-catlover
Back from counting badgers. Bye FM! I liked the new Sherlock, hurshy.

ty hurshy -- keep forgetting that is not considered a proper noun
10:39 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, sometimes. At one time we used to feed them and could stand and watch them from the front door. One year we had parents and babies (aaah!). Then when husband realised the damage they do, he stopped feeding them!
10:39 am
Atalante
we had a badger sett where we used to live, used to watch the cubs every year
10:39 am
rubyfoo
are badgers carnivores?
10:40 am
hurshy
well it's a title that is translated into kaiser, czar, etc, so, i mean, it sort of makes sense
10:40 am
Sally-catlover
Yes they are.
10:40 am
hurshy
atalante - how did the op go??
10:40 am
rubyfoo
so that's what sett means; I thought it was merely a babblet! shows what I don't know

They come through at the same time every night so it is easy to see them.

we had several people write in who thought that they were being "watched"
10:45 am
Atalante
I bet eva!
10:45 am
EvaNadine
though, my personal favorite was the guy who wrote in saying he saw a speech the CG gave on tv. he talked all about how great the speech was, then he closed off by complimenting the CG's tie and asking where it was bought.
10:46 am
Haz1558
And was it a nice tie?
10:47 am
EvaNadine
ok, coworkers are beckoning me for lunch now, so i guess i will go a little early after all.

I used to work in the aviation industry and we used to get mad letters from people with methods of avoiding crashes, such as attaching parachutes to jumbo jets so if they knew they were going to crash they could release them. The letters had detailed drawings and everything.

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.'
10:56 am
Sally-catlover
rofl Haz. Good logic, that.

di9 - mark used to denote two vowels being pronounced separately.
10:56 am

sa7 - follow the dress adornment with a consonant sandwiched between two vowels.

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.

11:10 am
stidmama
yes, thanks aloyisius, I am beginning to get my feet back on the ground. EITHER student teaching OR doing grad-level work would have been fine. BOTH at the same time was awful.
11:11 am
Aloyisius
whew, groan.. you took on too much!
11:11 am
stidmama
thanks dfm
11:12 am

11:13 am
varumba
hi stid! how are you?
11:14 am
stidmama
it's the way this master's program is structured... to get certification at the end one must do all of it!
11:14 am
Haz1558
Make it singular for th8, remove the final vowel for th7, then make THAT th7 plural for the last th8.
11:15 am
dfmchfhf
thanks haz :o)
11:15 am

11:20 am
dfmchfhf

11:20 am
Aloyisius

Hello, red!
11:22 am

in the district I want to teach, unfortunately they are so in need of certified teachers that they allow people without bachelors to substitute sometimes... there are going to be plenty of openings.

I have an appointment with the folks at the college who arrange for accomodations this afternoon -- trying to get large print or audio versions of texts and access to the magnifying machines in the library building.
11:29 am
stidmama
have never done this before, a little nervous I am asking for too much.
11:30 am
Atalante
one can only ask!
11:30 am
redturtlehead
I am sure they can accomodate you Stid, I think they will find your request fairly easy!
11:31 am
stidmama
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!
11:32 am
stidmama
it's a remote possibility (snow) but one can hope!
11:32 am
redturtlehead
I never like those get togethers.
11:33 am
stidmama
I am really not a fan of group gatherings... except babble get-togethers. so far, those have been comfortable and fun.
11:35 am
Aloyisius
. back.. Ata, hubby made some wonderful nut/bran muffins.. yum
11:35 am
stidmama
how thoughtful!
11:35 am
redturtlehead
Yes a babbling get together would be a nice time.
11:35 am
Gail
Stid, you will make those people happy to do their jobs!
11:35 am

stidmama
later Haz!
11:37 am
varumba
am the same stid, i much prefer lil groups to big ones - i often feel like i'm not good at socialising in big groups, usually because i don't have fun taking part in shallow conversations (usually about the last episode of a soap on tv or the last celebs gossips)
11:37 am
varumba
sys haz! tc
11:38 am
stidmama
yep. group things drain me... I need time to recharge after every whole-class activity in this master's program as well.
11:38 am
varumba
lol, i understand..... at what level are you training to teach?
11:39 am
varumba
or for what level should i say
11:39 am
stidmama
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.
11:40 am
Gail
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.
11:40 am
varumba
all ages and subjects???? wow.... here we teach our specialism subject
11:40 am
varumba
oh yes gail, i hate that too
11:40 am
stidmama
oh gail! are we twins? *looks in mirror*
11:40 am
Aloyisius
you are a special person stid.. middle school!
11:41 am
Gail
My long-lost twin!!
11:41 am
stidmama
nah, just a masochist... *wicked grin* I like the challenge!
11:41 am
stidmama
*grins at Gail*
11:42 am
Gail
I live four houses away from a middle school. It's pretty scary.
11:42 am
redturtlehead
you are special stid. I was just talking to a teacher friend of mine...she said "ANything but middle school today!!!
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
varumba
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
varumba
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
stidmama
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!
11:46 am
varumba
the last as5/10 evades me... any 1 has it?
11:47 am
varumba
lmao, hurry stid!!!!!
11:47 am
Aloyisius
stid, I subbed for seven years while my kids were young.. learned a LOT about the surrounding districts, etc... but .. so exhausting !
11:47 am
varumba
oh just monkeyed it!
11:47 am
stidmama
***hugs and choclits for all*** thanks for letting me "chatter" about it. SO looking forward to finishing this program in June and being ready to actually teach!

Streaking is running through a room or an event with no clothes on.
12:08 pm
varumba
no ruby, i have just never encountered that word in english before
12:08 pm
varumba
ah ty molly
12:08 pm
rubyfoo
streaking wazs a fad in the early 80's (or late 70's), guys running down the street naked except for shoes and hats and/or gloves
12:08 pm
varumba
lmao, tipically british!!! LOL
12:09 pm
rubyfoo

I think you have the perfect face for a short cut, Eva

It's a haircut for women, dfmch. Typically shorter on the sides/back but with some length on top, you can do really cool things with it!

Put an `R` instead NB and you got a word.

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

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.

Wish you all could, cos...that would a fun trip!
5:00 pm
Aloyisius
yvw cos
5:00 pm
cosdem
i bet... im debating on going at midnight or wait til tomorrow
5:00 pm
redturtlehead
oooh i want to see the new movue, i have not even been over to universals HP thing...
5:00 pm
lil*monkey
tassagram said a worrrrrrrrrrrd
5:00 pm
jacq

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
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
5:12 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'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
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

5:37 pm
Aloyisius

5:38 pm
MollyL
It means to repeat something.
5:39 pm
Aloyisius
Molly, my fourth re6.21 means that..
5:39 pm
MollyL
Actually, the past tense of that.

herinfernallady
Stid this guy in his wisdom thought it would be a talented idea to plan and stage the robbery
6:06 pm
stidmama
ah yes! Mother is a fine cake-baker!
6:07 pm
stidmama
yuck. so much for him.
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
cosdem
my s/o couldnt find a job anywhere because of his owi
6:09 pm
cosdem
he finally got a job at a gas station.., he wasnt happy about it but last week he got promoted to 2nd in command in the store so hes going places there
6:09 pm
cosdem
owi/dui/dwi whatever ur state calls it
6:09 pm
stidmama
good for him! so pleased he is making it through.
6:09 pm
stidmama
ah, I see. yes, the penalities are getting more and more severe and public pressure as well.
6:10 pm
cosdem
so am i! he got a nice raise as well
6:10 pm
cosdem
once he pays off the fines and gets his d.l. back he will get his own store
6:11 pm
stidmama
excellent!
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 :)
6:15 pm
cosdem
until he admitted he needed help.
6:15 pm
dfmchfhf
still... on... the... gas pedal? o.0
6:16 pm
redturtlehead
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
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
dfmchfhf
What's so great about drinking anyway? o_o
6:17 pm
stidmama
it does make sense. and addictions are insidious things. very hard to stay away
6:17 pm
cosdem
his father owns a bar which did NOT help at all. and is one reason we moved to colorado springs from des moines
6:17 pm
redturtlehead
dfm, I really do not know, but people do enjoy it.
6:18 pm
cosdem
his mom told me that if he stayed in des moiens he would end up like his dad... and said we should probably move here ... and ill tell ya what.. its been a lot better now
6:18 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
MollyL
Cos, if you go to Rankings and CTRL F with a search for Holly you will find a HollyF and a Holly16. I am strictly Molly, legally Marie, but that is another story.

Hi. As Crossy said, it's not aways necessary to have @A List' to finish.
9:31 pm
Jacula
Lists are good sometimes, though. But not all of the time.
9:31 pm

Do you need any clues Stid?
9:34 pm

9:34 pm
stidmama
*scatters choclits liberally*
*poof*
9:34 pm
Jacula
I'll probably be here for about another 20 mins/half hour. It's 3.34am here in UK.
9:35 pm
Jacula
Oh, okay Stid. 'Bye.x
9:35 pm
Jacula
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
Jacula
That's how a 53 year old brain, full of all sorts of extra crap, works.
9:47 pm
Jellen
I'm a librarian by training and nature, so I like to use resources, if available...
9:49 pm
Jellen
brb, need to make a phone call...
9:50 pm
Jacula
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.
9:50 pm
Jacula
Okay Jellen.
9:50 pm
jmcnrick
happy to say i never took latin
9:51 pm
jmcnrick
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.
9:55 pm
dianedecoder
hello again, everyone . I'm back to chat a bit and finish 19 words !!

i have no inclination to finish with 160 left and a bit of a vanilla pudding headache
9:56 pm
Jacula
Did I mention the bit of Gree, too? LOL
9:56 pm
dianedecoder
I've never taken Latin, but I've sung Vivaldi's Gloria, totally in Latin, and our choir leader made us learn the meanings, so that we could sing with "feeling".... It was an experience for sure !
9:56 pm

9:58 pm

I would love to be even bilingual

i can putter along when i am in a country even if people dont speak english but i never remember anything when i get back to the U.S.

10:10 pm
Jacula
*friend, I meant.
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
rifiki is what i was taught as friend
10:11 pm
Jacula
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
10:13 pm
Jacula
Isn't language wonderful? iT LEADS YOU HERE, IT LEADS YOU THERE, IT LEADS YOU EVERY BLOOMING WHERE. But,. it does make you think.
10:13 pm
Trifioso

it is fun Jac
10:14 pm
Jacula
I suppose, when you first stsrt learning a language, you learn it as a child. When I did Welsh, I rea children's books.
10:15 pm
jmcnrick
not a bad idea jac
10:15 pm
jmcnrick
well i am off to bed with my headache see you all later
10:15 pm

Jacula
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
Jacula
8There! eek!
10:22 pm

Time I was off to seek warmth from the hairy-chested, snoring one now. My cold feet will get him up in time for work. :-D

dfmchfhf
heh, so I just found out I got the di9 but can't spell, or possibly can't type. :o/ And falling asleep on your keyboard is not a good thing... Babble is trying to explain that "gggggggggggggggggggggggggggg......" is not a word.
10:39 pm
Jellen
lol, dfm...
10:41 pm
dfmchfhf
yay, fireworks (listed with 9 to go)
10:41 pm
Jellen
Yay for you, dfm!!!
10:42 pm
dfmchfhf
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\
10:46 pm
dfmchfhf
it took about 4 minutes for Babble to confirm its status as a word (or non-word really).
10:58 pm
