3:45 am
lynxxx

Yes we have just recently come out of 3 years of water restrictions - still some in force - which will probably never go
3:46 am
lynxxx

Sandy might have started building the new house perhaps
3:46 am

Sheesh some parts of the UK have had up to 16" of snow and it got as low as -17 in Wales. All very unusual for this time of year. Just been listening to the weatherforecast if you hadn't guessed.

Christine

Oh, hi -- I thought I was the only one here. It seems I signed in just as everyone left.
4:50 am
lynxxx

I don't know if you will remember a conversation we had about importing fabric. But I did end up getting upholstery fabric from the US - 15 yards - and it only cost about US$65 to get it to Aust....very happy
4:56 am
Christine

Wow that sounds like a real bargain. What will you do withit, where did you buy it, what pattern/color is it
4:59 am
lynxxx

Reupholster (not me!) 2 clubs chairs. Site is Glamorous fabrics. Butterscotch background, bone & brown geometric pattern on top. Wait for it US$13.50 per yard.!! They have markdown s quite regularly
5:00 am
Christine

Just realised - 15yds for$65. is only $4plus per yard, and that doesn't include shipping. That really was a great deal.
5:03 am
lynxxx

No - $65 for the shipping - $202 for the fabric ...but as its original price is something like $150 per yard - cheap!
5:04 am
Christine

OMGosh - I was about to re-cover everything in the house.

I assume that was a slip of the fingers, rather than a description of me....?
6:10 am
hootowl

That was me forgetting where I was!LOL!
6:10 am
Soodlebum

LOL. Yup, the chat is remarkably quiet. Must be all recovering from Thanksgiving.
6:11 am
hootowl

yup
6:11 am
Soodlebum

I'm not finding this grid one bit easy.
6:12 am
hootowl

anytime I go to bed and haven't reached 1/2 way - I know it's a problem. This is my second round and still haven't gotten to halfway
6:13 am
Soodlebum

I gave in with 83 to go, and listed.
6:14 am
Christine

Hello, again
6:14 am
hootowl

I'll list when I'm thru the whole grid. Haven't touched the a, l &d and just started the n's
6:14 am
Soodlebum

Hi Christine. :-)
6:15 am
hootowl

hi Chris
6:15 am
Soodlebum

I'm kicking myself for listing.... I missed some pretty obvious ones....
6:16 am
hootowl

Oh don't - especially when there are so many of the same letters - your brain can't sort them out
6:17 am
hootowl

a rest usually brings peace.
6:17 am
Soodlebum

Thank you Hoot! I feel better now :-)
6:18 am
hootowl

and I find that the obvious ones are missed because our brains recognises them and then dismisses them as found
6:19 am
hootowl

and I won't mention the ones babble throws away when you turn your back....
6:19 am
hootowl

glad to help :D
6:20 am
Soodlebum

I know...thats always happening to me. I could have SWORN I put in a word.... and it vanishes!

Soodlebum

That sneaky little E in the top left-hand corner has caught me out more than once....
6:26 am
Soodlebum

Bye Littlebit.
6:27 am
Christine

Soodlebum, do you find Babble removes words from your list, and when you try to re-enter them it tells you you've already entered the words -- they're no longer on your list, but you can't re-enter them ... aaaarrrggghhh
6:27 am
hootowl

byr littlebit - was off reading your prfile
6:28 am
Soodlebum

I do, Christine. Its very aggravating. I start wondering if I'm going bonkers!
6:29 am
hootowl

oh finally I'm convincing people I'm not crazy! I usually have them accepted and then when I go back - it;s gone!
6:30 am
Christine

Perhaps we can get a group rate on a home for the Babble-ized, when Babble finally pushes over the edge -- a restful plaace, making baskets & petting tabby cats.
6:30 am
hootowl

love it!
6:30 am
Christine

**pushes us
6:30 am
Soodlebum

And Cabana boys...... lots of cabana boys!
6:30 am
Christine

Well naturally
6:31 am
hootowl

pure heaven but BF objects to cabana boys
6:32 am
Soodlebum

And on that note, I must depart. Bye everybody, have a lovely day. Poof
6:33 am
hootowl

bye Soodle
6:33 am
hootowl

And I must back to the grid!
6:34 am
Christine

If he's not Babble-ized, he won't qua;ify for the resthome, and won't know who's fetching reeds and cats for you.
6:35 am
hootowl

But I can't leave him behind
6:35 am
hootowl

so I guess I can't go myself
6:36 am
hootowl

Can I hide him in a closet ya think???
6:40 am
Christine

Bring him along, we'll get him some magazines.
6:43 am
hootowl

You should see the look I got when I read him that! If looks could kill.... We laugh alot

LOL. Hoot it is.
6:55 am
Christine

Except I don't like the name Chris. I've always liked my name ( except when I was 12 and decided to become a nun - Sister Monica !!).
6:55 am
Brookie

All the "Chris" names sound nice to me. I didn't like my name for the longest time because it rhymed with "uk".
6:56 am
Christine

My son-in-law is named Christopher, and his Mum and I are the only ones that don't call him Chris.
6:58 am
hootowl

Ha! does the fact that I don't use my real name give you a clue? So your real name is Monica?
6:58 am
hootowl

too many Cris's would tend to confuse I'd think...
6:59 am
hootowl

ohoh - I'm getting to the bad, bad typing stage!
6:59 am
Christine

No, I thought that'd be a good nun-name.
6:59 am
hootowl

aaah - I see...I think
6:59 am

Sister Monica is a good name.

molly the story behind my nick goes something like that :)
7:47 am
NonoNanette

my college nick was nono, so thats what I started using on line. Some one that I use to chat with said it always reminded her of that musical so I became NonoNanette
7:49 am
MollyL

It's kind of an obscure musical. I'm always amazed when I discover other people who know of it.
7:49 am

By the way all, Cos is going to be very put out that Santa is not found in the dictionary.
8:22 am
Mom

8:22 am
NonoNanette

its a proper name Molly
8:23 am
Mom

satan isn't in the dictionary either
8:23 am
MollyL

Technically yes, but when you use it in a sentence that speaks of department store Santas it almost makes it a common noun as well.
8:24 am
MollyL

I've always found it creepy that if you shuffle the letters in Santa you get Satan.
8:24 am
NonoNanette

i know mom, I am forever trying satan over and over again whenever it is in a grid

8:30 am
NonoNanette

if they are ignored they will go away, but if people tell them to knock it off or what ever it only gets worse

8:33 am

on a different note,watching a show here on huskies and malamutes.it boggles my mind how many of these beautiful creatures end up in pounds or crated all the time because the owner tries to make them a indoor lap dog and is somehow surprised with it does not work and it is bad for both the dog and human
9:08 am
Anniebrook

crossy, it makes me sad to see a very large dog living in an apartment..they do not belong there
9:09 am
welki

same thing with basset hounds, believe it or not .. people expect couch potatoes, 'hush puppies,' but they're hunting dogs and need to be exercised
9:09 am
crosshair

indeed:(
9:09 am
Anniebrook

absolutely
9:09 am
welki

i guess it's the same with all dogs, regardless of breed (or breed knowledge) ... dogs need exercise and stimulation regardless of where they live
9:10 am
crosshair

thats why i applaud that dogs 101 show that is out now, a person can watch and learn the traits and other information about many breeds
9:10 am
Anniebrook

agreed
9:10 am

I once knew someone whose dog refused to go on walks... o.0

lol crossy ... yep, having to spell it, "Hon, taking the dogs for a W A L K .. " and dreading the day they learn to spell *LOL*
9:12 am

Many twisty words today!
9:12 am
dfmchfhf

it was weird, because he'd run around the house energetically... and then as soon as the door was opened he'd hide or sulk in a corner...
9:12 am
Anniebrook

welki, my friend had to say WALK in a different language and then the dog understood that word too
9:13 am
dfmchfhf

wonder what traumatic experience he must've suffered outside :o(
9:13 am
crosshair

and they do start to understand! it got to the point where we were just saying "W" and the dog knew! so we started saying stroll,hike,outing walkabout,diversionary pedestrian travel ..etc lol
9:13 am
Anniebrook

or thought he was being taken to the vet where he was badly hurt
9:13 am
welki

*will put "walk" into translation program*
9:14 am
car.eeyore

We had a dog and the magic word was POND. We have a house on a pond and she used to LOVE to go there! we would have to spell it so we could get ready to go and then all we had to do was say "pond" and she would get right in the car!
9:14 am
crosshair

but all that did not matter,the second that leash so much as moved a 1/4 on that table by the door,he heard it lol

9:19 am

ominous
9:19 am
dfmchfhf

that's when you forget/neglect/don't want to neuter/spay your cat, and don't know that someone else in the neighbourhood did the same...
9:20 am
crosshair

oh no,we always get resuce kittes so they do not get put down..have never had that problem
9:20 am
car.eeyore

Oooooh! In a way, yes! I work with an organization that traps ferals then spays/neuters them and releases them.
9:20 am

We, of course, find homes for those we can.
9:20 am

9:23 am

hey you how u feeling now?
9:24 am
dfmchfhf

I think in Ontario now you have to either get your cat fixed or get a license...
9:24 am
kazzy

do u get the same puzzle as me? xeiluj
9:24 am
crosshair

we fix to ease the pressure on the pounds,that is voluntary,the liscences are mandatory
9:24 am
welki

cats need to be licensed in calgary and must not be found at large, same as dogs
9:25 am
crosshair

but do not just sit there and let them pump out kittens every 3 months:/
9:25 am
xeiluj

we all get the same puzzle i think. I am up to 119 words but running out fast
9:26 am
car.eeyore

At least the vowels move right along today!
9:26 am
welki

neutering is voluntary .. but all rescues from animal services are fixed before they're adopted (ane we have a free spay/neuter program for low income folks)
9:26 am
kazzy

hey i got 19 lol
9:27 am
crosshair

we are very vigilant here as the current ferral population is sitting at roughly 450 cats,and many of us on conjunction with the humane society and 2 local vets are catching the females and fixing them
9:28 am
car.eeyore

Good for you and your community Crossy! Well done!
9:28 am
crosshair

it is a long road...
9:29 am
dfmchfhf

the owner is a tutor/teacher though so the kittens are usually gone really soon... and what is awesome is that the mom housebreaks the kitties herself :oO
9:29 am
car.eeyore

Absolutely! I've been working with this group for over 15 years now!
9:29 am
crosshair

you and your group will get there i am sure;))
9:29 am
car.eeyore

We are well into the thousands now!
9:30 am
crosshair

once all the kitties in the pounds are adopted,then we can think about breeding again;))
9:31 am
car.eeyore

I agree...if any one of those kittens isn't spayed/neutered in turn, then it just keeps going...and going...and going....
9:31 am
crosshair

since we have a no kill policy it takes time
9:32 am
car.eeyore

We only put a feral down if it tests positive for AIDS or Leukemia.
9:32 am

only those with medical reason that demand it get put to sleep

1:32 pm
Pinikula

Mark...are you using Lickety's List (a link found below the grid stats?)
1:32 pm
Sally-catlover

Mark, if you look down below the grid, under Friends of Babble, you will see a link to Lickety's Babble Clues, where you will find a list of the first two letters of all the words and their points count. You will find a lot more words if you use that, at least at the beginning.
1:33 pm
Magyk

I started a pair of socks. Got one done and decided to take a break and make a hat before I started the other one! haha
1:33 pm
Pinikula

GMTA, Sally...was just writing the other half of the suggestion...
1:33 pm
m9f9l

ah Magyk.. that's why I had never tried socks before! Then I saw a friend knitting socks.. and she knits them both at once! on one set of needles.
1:34 pm
m9f9l

So now I feel like I can do socks.LOL
1:34 pm
m9f9l

I use circular needles and knit them toe up
1:34 pm
Magyk

I've seen that but have never had the gumption to try them myself. Is it difficult?
1:34 pm
m9f9l

no counting stiches or anything!
1:34 pm
Mark Jones

I looked at it and couldn't figure the thing out. I'm not good with technology.
1:34 pm
m9f9l

I don't think so. and there are visual tutorials on the net.
1:35 pm
Mark Jones

Anybody watch Star Trek here?
1:35 pm
Pinikula

Do you know how to copy and paste? If so, it's easy, just copy and paste the words you've already found (under your My Word List) and paste them in the box at the bottom of Lickety's List and press Bulk Add...it's all done for you.
1:35 pm
m9f9l

are you a trekkie?
1:35 pm
Magyk

I'll have to try!
1:36 pm
m9f9l

when my son was your age, if we went in a new library, he'd declare it a good library if it had a trek book he'd never read before.
1:37 pm
Pinikula

2nd di6, plz?
1:38 pm
Mark Jones

I am not much for the books, just the shows and movies.
1:38 pm
m9f9l

then he'd get the book.. read it about 1/4th the way and say "oh... I guess I have read this one before" LOL
1:38 pm
m9f9l

1:42 pm
welki

no, but i think he's a pretty good match for the dad in that new sitcom, s*^&* my dad says (i think that the series would be difficult for anyone)
1:43 pm
MPittore

I think Shatner is a stitch...people take him seriously and he is so comedic
1:43 pm
Mark Jones

I knew it! Now I am not going to watch him on youtube.
1:43 pm
Kazzer99

I love his novels though
1:43 pm
Mark Jones

1:45 pm
Mark Jones

What's tambourine man?
1:46 pm
m9f9l

I remember going to a church talent show.. and the young women were all wearing trek shirts.. and it took me a moment to realize they were lip synching to tambourine man.. the main girl did SUCH a good job!
1:46 pm
m9f9l

a song he did way back
1:46 pm
MPittore

If only we could all look at ourselves and see how funny human behavior can be....it is so interesting to me...sometimes I get such a kick out of myself and I'm not being stuck up I just do hilarious things if I stand back and look at myself....others too are a real source of a good belly laugh! A fine thing fior living longer and healthier!

1:55 pm

1:58 pm
MPittore

I think that's who's credited with it he said "bless the cracked ones for the let in the light" but others have glommed onto it and tweeked it etc...it's a neat quote I like...
1:59 pm

Hi everyone. Have to get in on this knitting discussion. There's a great site I just discovered: www.ravelry.com(?). People do projects and send in their results and comments.
2:01 pm
m9f9l

I have a ravelry account.. never get on there!
2:01 pm
Magyk

I love ravelry!
2:01 pm
MPittore

no but I can knit, crochet, most hand crafts in fact thanks to my grandma and mom...and I thoroughly enjoy gardening and have a pretty nice one...pond, fish, plants, sculptural things....
2:02 pm
MPittore

I even have a really neat garden at our campsite...won a prize even! I love pretty things!
2:02 pm
Roses6

I've gotten so many good ideas from ravelry. Right now I'm knitting a cowl for my mother in law who lives in the windy cold. It's such a pleasure to work on that I'm making one for myself after this. (so many plans!)
2:02 pm
Magyk

I've thought about starting a knitting/baking/gardening blog but am unsure.
2:03 pm
MPittore

ok gotta run... later......
2:03 pm
Roses6

I love gardening too. I think a blog can onlhy be a good idea. Even if no one reads it, which won
2:03 pm
Kazzer99

i can do all of these things but have no time to indulge them if I am going to babble
2:03 pm
Roses6

*won't happen) it's a great way to put together all your interests and find the essential impulses that hold it all together.
2:04 pm
Magyk

I'm on ravelry everyday. You should find me. Magykknitting.
2:04 pm
Roses6

Of course I am a fan of writing as a process, so that's the way I think of a blog, though I know there are other ways that a blog can be rewarding.
2:05 pm

Hi Bichon. Now actually, Spring has been rather rainy now that our drought seems to be over at least on the East coast. The weather is OK thru to the end of April with usually only a few days of very high temps. Then again our winters are moderate too - you need to go up the mountains to find snow

actually, i did get a little acer laptop, but it is so small i find it annoying... can't have more than one window open at a time... have to keep going back and forth.. and i did get it just to play expert... probably today is a day it would have been worth it, but sort of forget about it most of the time

saw no fewer than 3 restaurant reviews referring to the chef as a "toque"
5:16 pm

E's evaporated.
5:17 pm
Pinikula

is that good or bad?
5:17 pm
Pinikula

well done, Judi
5:17 pm
pippingeek

apparently that's the new hip synecdoche in reviews right now, to refer to a chef by the fancy name for a chef hat
5:18 pm
pippingeek

i don't think i support it
5:18 pm
Pinikula

interesting...
5:20 pm
Judi

That's rather a stretch, pippingeek. I don't think any chef wants to be referred to as a hat. Next we'll be calling football players "helmets". I don't see it catching on.
5:21 pm
pippingeek

it seemed a little odd to me
5:22 pm
pippingeek

my suspicion is that someone did it and some other reviewer saw it and thought it was a hip fancy word and doesn't know the real meaning
5:22 pm
Pinikula

that's what I was thinking...
5:23 pm
Judi

Could be. In which case, the Editor should stick a fork in it ( or at least red line it for correction).
5:23 pm
Pinikula

that's IF the editor even notices
5:25 pm
Judi

True, Pini. One wonders if knowing English is even a requirement for journalism any more. Our state's one and only paper - "The WIlmington News Journal" is good for several cringes per day.
5:25 pm
pippingeek

sigh. i so want to chat but this creative thinking test is not going to complete itself
5:26 pm
Judi

I think it's actually run by a bunch of 5th graders.

i think the only smart solution is to turn off the internet for at least a couple hours

we'll be here when you're ready, pip!

5:28 pm

It really kills me, Pini. I have a high school diploma and a year of college. I still have a better mastery of the English language than the BA's and Masters I work with. *Major eye roll*. My boss always gives me stuff to proof read. Makes my head spin to see such remedial errors. And the man is 62! You'd think he would have learned by now.

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

...once you get more into the swing of the game and the cluing, you'll be able to figure out clues for the bigger words...
8:13 pm
Mark Jones

I'll try, but those haven't been working for me either;
8:13 pm
MPittore

ok ae4/4 means the word has four letters for a point value of 4...

Trust your elders, Mark...start small, end big... :)
8:14 pm
Mark Jones

I hate when age gets into this.
8:15 pm

Sorry, but finding small words often gives you the root of larger ones...
8:15 pm
MPittore

I was trying to start you off with an easy set of words to get....don't get frustrated mark we have all been were you are...just relax and have fun it's all about playing the game not necessarily winning...
8:15 pm
Mark Jones

Fine.
8:16 pm
Mark Jones

I will try my best, but it hasn't worked out for me today.
8:16 pm

8:18 pm
Mark Jones

I'm not angry, just a little upset with myself. But ibd, this grid has 272 words! It should be easy!!!
8:18 pm
MPittore

that happens, what I do is look at each letter in the grid and try to make as many 4 letter words in any direction first, then I go thru and try to plural those maybe that can work for you.
8:18 pm
lbdawger

it's a moderate grid. for those of us who have been here forever, for newbies it might be more trying
8:19 pm
Pinikula

Mark, remember you're a youngster...keep playing and it'll get easier and you'll impress your teachers with an increased vocabulary. :o)
8:19 pm
Mark Jones

Well i am a newbie.
8:19 pm
MPittore

sometimes I look for other endings like "ed" or "ier" to add to the words I did find...I just keep typing which we call monkeying...
8:20 pm
MPittore

Mark this is one of the larger grids...so it's not so easy...you are doing fine...
8:20 pm
Mark Jones

I'll try pini, but in the meantime i need to take a shower but then i will be back and hope for some luck. See you in about 20 minutes. Bye!

When I saw the Babble st 5/10 today, I knew I would not finish.I did not finish the grid, but I can't re6/18 doing one of my st7/28. So I thought I would be an as 8/40 and as6/18 with a story of clues. Hubby di 6/21 Babble every day. He does not give one io 4/4 about Babble.It ir4/4 him when I Babble for hours. He really doesn't like huge grids that make my babbling time la 4/4 for hours. But his Farmville also la5/10 for hours. The more I babble the na 7/28 he gets. Hubby always st 5/10 up trouble when I am babbling. Hubby drives me insa4/4 sometimes with his Babble remarks & the nasty looks he se5/12 me.But I find happine4/4 when I Babble though. Sometimes I wish I could just to 4/4 him out. Sometimes I wish he re6/21d else where so I can Babble in peace. Hubby wants the computer. If I do not surre4/5er it to him,he'll cause a ri4/4. Now I am going to go st5/12 up and ri4/4 out of this se 4/4 and go ne 4/4en the kitchen and then I'm going to go downst 6/18 and watch a movie I re 6/18 I re 4/4ed. Then I am going to reti4/4 for the evening. I'm outta here for the re 4/4 of the night. See you all tomorrow

LOL Nef. i've been working on the one in the back. Egads, it needed it. I don't use that shower -- had no idea.
9:23 pm
dcseain

Mark, i'm in and out, away from computer when scrubbing :)
9:24 pm
dcseain

been waiting for shower to dry to put stuff back so i can get the floor cleaned.
9:24 pm
Nef

Mark, I wouldn't have guessed you were 12 either. Don't let this frustrate you too much; I always frustrate myself by starting huge grids when I don't have the time to finish them. I try, but sometimes life gets too busy
9:25 pm
Mark Jones

I will learn how to finish it in time.

I'm not sure that I want you in my house. No offense, but that would be a little creepy.

I can't find ae9.

so, my two children who were practically killing each other 20 minutes ago are out in the living room being best of friends -what the heck!
9:26 pm
Nef

I do much better at finishing grids when they are less than 225 words. I like grids that are around the 150-225 word sizes. They usually are much quicker and easier than either larger or smaller grids

Sorry. I got lost for a moment. Weird pop-up;
9:37 pm
Nef

If we were mean to newbies or ignored them; I could understand (sort of) the bad behavior by the rude ones. I wonder why this one played and posted like that?
9:37 pm
Jillyjill

We get those from time to time mark, very irritating...
9:37 pm
Mark Jones

I don't even know how to do that. It seems so mean.

It does run in streaks. Most of the time if there is someone like that in chat; I just shrink down my screen so they don't bother me

i am pretty sure bablerox is not a child and i am pretty sure the person who uses that name has been doing the same as gamewrecker

Good night, Mark. HAGD tomorrow

I could hack together some javascript or maybe even an extern to parse the grid and find the words... sort of like how Lickety does it, except showing the full word instead of clues.

10:35 pm

Dh is doing very well. I'm calling him my "Miracle Man" because he'sback using a cane most of the time again. It was just 5 months ago that we were told he'd be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life
10:36 pm

his thinking isn't back to normal; but his eyes are better than they've been for the past 3 years. No more hallucinations either
10:37 pm

stidg, I love your play on words! :-)
10:38 pm
stidmama

hallucinations??? I didn't know about those
10:40 pm

oh, yeah. That was back in August I think. I thought it was maybe related to the temporary blindness? I don't know
10:40 pm
stidmama

I am glad they are gone now
10:40 pm
Nef

me too! It was a LONG summer!
10:42 pm

10:42 pm
stidmama

we use our eyes so much
10:44 pm
Nef

he had both the optic neuritis (which is related to the MS) and also corneal edeam. They think the corneal edema was a side effect of a med he'd been on for 20 years; believe it or not. It came on suddenly and out of the blue; it took a few months to improve
10:45 pm
Creeta

hello all. does anyone have a clue for the first di7?
10:45 pm

jillibus

Yes, stid, sad indeed, but it was time. My friend had been vising her twice a day for years, and watching her decline in awareness, and eventually in health. She was a lovely lady -- i never met her but I heard a lot and she had brought up a great daughter and son.
11:12 pm
jillibus

diane -- so you know about the icon themes? There's a list in my profile.
11:12 pm
dcseain

very sorry to hear, jill
11:12 pm
stidmama

I know how that is, jill. hard to watch that decline, but does soften the death a little. Or has for me.
11:15 pm
jillibus

This friend has many other things to cope with -- her sister has severe MS and now has liver cancer. Her husband has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She herself has post-polio syndrome.
11:15 pm
jillibus

Yet she never complains and is always eager to help others.
11:15 pm
stidmama

oh my. will add them to my list, jill -- for whatever good it does.
11:16 pm

Besides, she's FUN!

Hi gmere!

as opposed to brown twigged dogwood?
11:19 pm

yes, there is a red-twig variety and a yellow-twig variety that are shrubs and used widely in landscaping around here. pretty winter color
11:19 pm
stidgmere

Yes, well, I got the 100th word on a to 4 which looks like bread that has been browned but lacking a vowel. Good night to all.

11:26 pm
jillibus

why don't you like them, jmc?
11:27 pm
stidmama

11:27 pm
jmcnrick

for years i avoided it by spending it with my friend susan at homeless sholters but she died the year before my hubby
11:27 pm
jillibus

Oh, the meeting could be in Montreal -- no Thanksgiving there in November.
11:27 pm
stidmama

we'll even have witnesses. usually 50 or more people hanging around lurking in our usual meeting location...
11:27 pm
jmcnrick

11:27 pm
stidmama

11:29 pm
jmcnrick

11:30 pm
jillibus

Yikes!
11:30 pm

11:32 pm
stidmama

11:32 pm
dcseain

11:33 pm
dcseain

g'night stid
11:33 pm
jmcnrick

11:36 pm
jmcnrick

11:36 pm
dcseain

go you! :)
11:37 pm
jillibus

good for you, jmc
11:37 pm
jmcnrick

a good retort but not conducive to family harmony
11:38 pm
jmcnrick

and the night before i got into a fight with my nephew the marine (I called him gutless)
11:38 pm
jillibus

neither was the idiotic song
11:38 pm
dcseain

you were likely correct about that, jmc
11:38 pm
jmcnrick

true jilli i did n't think of it that way
11:39 pm
jmcnrick

so I have been going to bed with jack instead of babble
11:39 pm
jillibus

babble is better sometimes
11:40 pm
dcseain

and they are not mutually exclusive
11:40 pm
jmcnrick

usually jilli but i was so angry i did n't think i would be good company
11:40 pm
jmcnrick

lol dc true so true
11:41 pm
jillibus

babble can soothe
11:41 pm
jmcnrick

it didn't help that wedsday or thursday jacula chewed my ass for random reasons
11:42 pm
jillibus

well, take jac with a grain of salt, or tune out.
11:43 pm
jmcnrick

i tried as I think jac is a good person who occassionally unintentioanlly lashed out
11:44 pm
jmcnrick

so anyway that is my tale of woe
11:44 pm
jmcnrick
