odd sa 7/32 melancholy + press clothes

12:54 am

dcseain

it's usually hyphenated, and means a pressing metal device with a flat surface

12:55 am

dcseain

(yay for dictionaries)

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

1st time I have ever seen it

12:59 am

dcseain

made it my icon clue :)

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

wtg

12:59 am

dcseain

were not for my one great-grandmother and a great-aunt, i'd never have heard the word myself.

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

neat photo

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

still missing one elusive y

1:00 am

dcseain

I thought that one looked neat, if heavy

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

now that I see your photo, I think a friend of mine uses one as a doorstop...

1:00 am

dcseain

i have no Ys at all, and i'm still seeking my 2nd va6

1:00 am

dcseain

yes, they make great doorstops, and have a handle too

1:01 am

jillibus

popped back in for a bit and saw that sa7 -- looking at the ? is think dc's pic isn't quite it...

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

second va 6 ends with suffix... more of va 4/7

1:01 am

dcseain

they come in many different styles, though an inverted U handle seems more common for the style

1:02 am

jillibus

I have one like that as a doorstop -- also a tailor's goose and a little flat-**** with a moveable "door" so that a hot coal can be inserted. Got it in England.

1:03 am

dcseain

oh, the internal coal ones are so much nicer than the heat-on-stove ones

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

wow the door would have been a great innovation

1:04 am

dcseain

there, updated to reflect the ?

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

nice

1:05 am

jillibus

ah, yes -- nice, dc!

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

I would love to have the vase jili has as an icon...

1:06 am

dcseain

yes, her vase is a very lovely piece indeed :)

1:07 am

jillibus

well, I'll have to change it when I find a good word in this grid, but meanwhile...*repoof*

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

I love china from England... adore Waterford Crystal, and we have a Glass Factory here that makes amazing cutglass...

1:07 am

dcseain

oh, that suffix. i was blind. ty, dee

1:08 am

dcseain

g'night jill

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

yqw I didn't see it right away either

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

ttfn jili

1:08 am

jillibus

This vase is not from England -- it's Delft, from the Netherlands -- yesterday's theme.

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

Here is the website for our local Cut Glass Factory...http://www.warsaw-cutglass.c
om/

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

I have pieces from the original owner Mr. Dobbins...

1:12 am

dcseain

oh, i know some of their work, Dee, they do nice stuff.

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

amazing pieces... some of my older pieces feel very heavy like the old "lead glass"... the newer glass seems to be thinner, but still lovely

1:13 am

flosey

Interesting Dee, I was admiring the different patterns

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

I started with fern when I was married, but I inherited pieces from Dan's grandmother and my mom, so now I have many different patterns... I love the look of more than one...a bit eclectic but very interesting

1:15 am

dcseain

http://www.blenko.com/ is the nearest-to-me glass place.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

one of my favorite wedding gifts is a large cannister... then we fill it with candy kisses... a beautiful piece for a cookie jar...

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

brb looking

1:16 am

dcseain

i have a cut glass bowl from my grandparents that used to always be full of peanut M&Ms. kk

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

if you have the pieces you should use them... I use my decanters for mouthwash... love blenko's decanters

1:19 am

dcseain

we have a few pieces, and will acquire more once i'm working again. A friend has been talking me into going into realty.

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

I don't care for Warsaw Cut Glass' new sunflower pattern, but the younger ladies like it.. too cutesey for me

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

how did your job lead go?

1:20 am

dcseain

alas, it did not pan out.

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry... was hoping this was "the one"... know that feeling of disappointment... have learned it well with this house situation...

1:22 am

dcseain

i'm sure you have. Such a lovely, lovely home. Cannot imagine why it's not sold.

1:23 am

dcseain

market there must be in bad shape.

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

We can't either, but our market is flooded now. I will almost be glad when the listing expires the end of Oct... then we'll just concentrate on the wedding and wait until next spring. I have REALLY appreciated your kind words - they always seem to come when I need them the most.

1:24 am

mrpresident

afternoon all :)

1:24 am

dcseain

really, if we had any desire to live in that part of the country, we so would've snatched it up. It's so much of what we want, but such is so hard to afford here.

1:24 am

dcseain

hi, mrp :)

1:25 am

dcseain

the wedding must be exciting though :)

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

hi mrp!

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

you should just move dc... only 2 hours from Chicago and 2 hours from Indianpolis... really beautiful location... :)

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

the wedding IS exciting... have to pinch myself to remind myself it is really happening :)... we adore our son-in-law to be...

1:26 am

flosey

did you settle on a dress yet Dee?

1:26 am

dcseain

hope his family fell the same of your daughter

1:27 am

dcseain

er, feel

1:27 am

flosey

that is so important Dee, we have been blessed with wonderful sil and dils

1:32 am

mrpresident

being a MIL is a blessed thing... keeping the pleasantry side of things is so important!

1:32 am

mrpresident

i have to be lucky to have such a luvly MIL and FIL... but they have worked at it!

1:33 am

mrpresident

THAT is a good family!

1:33 am

dcseain

indeed, mrp :)

1:33 am

flosey

unfortunately, I wasn't quite so lucky there!!

1:34 am

dcseain

nor i

1:34 am

dcseain

my sister and b-i-l both have fared well, though :)

1:34 am

mrpresident

oh flosey... my husband made darn sure they worked at keeping things loving. Otherwise, he would have been living with them now! LOL

1:34 am

flosey

we just did not like each other - can you imagine a mother who would actually tell a little boy he was unplanned and unwanted

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

Flosey, I found a "maybe" dress... didn't knock me to the ground, but I bought it just in case I don't find something else. His family seems to adore our daughter... a true love-fest between our families... truly grateful for that!

1:35 am

flosey

he was the 4th - 6 years later than the 3rd

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

I agree with you, Flosey, ... I'll just say my ML is a challenge...

1:35 am

dcseain

sadly, i have seen such parents

1:36 am

mrpresident

flosey, that is one cold bitch

1:36 am

mrpresident

she isn't worth the effort

1:36 am

flosey

yes, am afraid so mrp, a sad situation

1:37 am

mrpresident

my SIL isn't worth the effort... not one bit. and she knows it, but keeps the peace with me now for the sake of her parents - cause they love me

1:38 am

mrpresident

unfortunately, my brother and hubby had a falling out and it bubbled over into OUR lives... now that hurts... my own brother turned on me.

1:38 am

mrpresident

but, we are talking about wedding dresses!! I wanna see a pic of the dress dee!

1:38 am

flosey

me too, do you have a picture Dee?

1:39 am

mrpresident

OMG! My son just changed my dressing on my leg... he is a friggin surgeon in the making! did the cross latching and waterproof dressing over the top!

1:40 am

dcseain

very nice, mrp, and a life skill for him, too

1:40 am

flosey

wow, lucky you mrp

1:41 am

mrpresident

I won't see a scar cause of his expertness!

1:41 am

mrpresident

expertise? sorry

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

I don't have a pic of Lindz's dress... she was afraid Jason would see it, so I am not allowed to have one LOL... tooo funny. I can show a photo of her shoes: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/glint-trio
-peep-toe-bootie/3112761?origin=catego
ry&resultback=241

1:42 am

mrpresident

so dee, do you put a dress pic on FB for us??

1:42 am

mrpresident

how about sending it to our emails... those that are interested would love to see it!! promise not to reveil it to anyone!

1:43 am

mrpresident

or, we just salivate and wait till the wedding day! LOL!!

1:43 am

flosey

oh, aren't they elegant, Dee

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

hang on looking for a photo of dress I bought... don't have one of Lindsay's...

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

I LOVE the shoes, too, flosey!

1:44 am

flosey

that's what I meant Dee, wouldn't ask to see the wedding dress before the day

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

hang on... looking for my dress

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

Here is my dress: http://promcollection.com/pages/4193.a
sp

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

I really wanted a jacket, but we'll see...

1:48 am

flosey

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

1:48 am

flosey

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

Here is their honeymoon site: http://www.capellahotels.com/ixtapa/de
fault-en.html

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

The wedding is January 21, 2012 in the evening.

1:50 am

flosey

lovely honeymoon site

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

It looks neat... wouldn't be my choice, but they are thrilled.

1:52 am

flosey

beautiful view from the rooms

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

They wanted somewhere warm, even though they wanted a winter wedding... praying it is as cool as the online photos... it has a high rating

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

I guess I'm old and skeptical lol... so far everything has been as nice as the online photos... they are having an exceptionally simple cake...

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

flowers are simple, but elegant... they are being very budget conscious... makes me proud of them

1:54 am

flosey

smart kids

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

as a mom, I was a bit concerned, but instead of arguing, we sent them a check and said "go to it". I don't know all of the details (which sometimes drives me nuts), but it has saved sooooo many potential arguments and fussing. I did not want to argue about any of it.

1:58 am

rubyfoo

good moring everybody

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

Did I tell you my brother is going to officiate?

1:59 am

flosey

VolleymomDee

2:04 am

rubyfoo

it is a lovely movie both funny and touching

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

my favorite scene was when she was trying on dresses in her closet

2:04 am

rubyfoo

yes, mom, but also when she gets tipsy and sings Benny and the Jets in the bar

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

definitely!!

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

I actually liked that so much I bought it :)

2:06 am

rubyfoo

floesy, I am a terrible movie addict -- will watch anything that isn't too vilent, too rappish, or science fiction

2:06 am

rubyfoo

I've seen it 4 times on TV here

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

me, too, ruby... movie addict and proud of it LOL

2:07 am

rubyfoo

(great spelling, ruby! violent* flosey*

2:07 am

flosey

I should watch to see what's coming in the way of movies on tv - just never think of it

2:07 am

rubyfoo

there is that evening time, between 8:30 and 11 or so, when there is nothing else left to do and eyes are too tired to read more

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

lately I have watched a lot of netflix streaming flics, and many of them have been BBC or Canadian

2:08 am

flosey

lol, I don't notice misspelled words,

2:08 am

rubyfoo

Flashpoint, the Canadian series is fine and Detroit 587 is fabulous!

2:08 am

flosey

well, come 10 pm, this is where I usually am

2:09 am

flosey

we have a little movie house on the Island - have been to see, I think, 4 movies in the 16 years we've been here

2:09 am

rubyfoo

we don't necessarily get series just when they come out, usually 6 mos or a year later

2:09 am

rubyfoo

we don't necessarily get series just when they come out, usually 6 mos or a year later

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

I loved flashpoint.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

I'll have to look for Detroit 587

2:10 am

rubyfoo

it makes Toronto look soooo beautiful with its super-saturated colors!

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

brb

2:11 am

flosey

tried watching a dvd movie on computer - didn't have same effect we were given a dvd player but don't know hot to hook it up (so silly)

2:11 am

rubyfoo

we have one, too, flosey, and I don't know how to use it, either

2:11 am

flosey

a second hand one amd the instructions didn't come with it

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

boo hoo can't get Detroit 587 on netflix... I loved Monarch on the Glen, DaVinci's Inquest...

2:12 am

rubyfoo

and watching films on the computer is not as good as lying in bed and watching in more comfort

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

had same prob with hook up here... had to ask my brother to do it.. felt silly, too

2:13 am

rubyfoo

I think you have to be a child to use all the electronic gadgetry. It comes to them so easily

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

so true

2:13 am

flosey

yes, grandson knows so much more than we do about both tvs and computers

carleekat

3:37 am

grannyrose

aaron, the mostest ending, as in weary, wearier, wear****

3:38 am

Haz1558

Aaronitor, it's the most se**y something can be. It has the superlative ending for an adjective. Adjective = cool Comparative ending = cooler Superlative ending = coolest

3:39 am

Aaronitor

Thanks got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!

3:39 am

grannyrose

woohooo, aaron

3:39 am

Haz1558

Praise be!

3:39 am

grannyrose

(((((((haz))))))

3:39 am

Haz1558

And now you can look for something that is as dry as it can possibly be. ar7/32.

3:40 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:40 am

Haz1558

And one who is as creative as can possibly be ar7/28

3:43 am

Aaronitor

thanks I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:43 am

Haz1558

We're on a roll.

3:43 am

Aaronitor

u got any more

3:44 am

Haz1558

Another superlative is ta8 - the latest, the most delayed you can be. And another easy 7 is av7/40 - one who flies.

3:45 am

Haz1558

If you got the ar7, there's another word in the grid that would describe it - dr7.

3:46 am

Haz1558

And now that you've got some 7s and 8s, look at the grid and get lots of the 4s and 5s.

3:46 am

Aaronitor

can u stretch on the ta8 please,got all the other ones

3:47 am

Haz1558

The ta8 has that same superlative ending as se8. First three letters form the black sticky stuff used to make roads.

3:47 am

grannyrose

aaron, another word for late, then mostest ending

3:47 am

rbud

if you are the last one of several students who are late to class, you are the ta8 of them all

3:48 am

rbud

oops, I used the la4 word, anything good in the pb? ;p

3:50 am

carleekat

ok...well i am going to try and get a few more minutes of shut eye now... sorry rbud it is a bit early for me to bake...later there will be a cake ( orange tropical dream cake... i renamed it from Pig Cake as i am taking them to the mosque tomorrow and somehow..especially for eid..they would NOT appreciate "pig cake" on their table...

3:50 am

Aaronitor

3:50 am

grannyrose

yw aaron

3:51 am

grannyrose

3:51 am

Haz1558

Bye, carlee.

3:52 am

Haz1558

ri7/44 is the past tense of ri5/16 - one who you compete with, someone who might want the same things as you.

3:54 am

grannyrose

ok, dinner ready, see y'all later

3:54 am

Haz1558

Bye, grannyrose.

How are you going sprite I miss yuo

5:02 am

sprite

hey sweetie *hugs*.
I am okayish, things are pretty rough on therapy terrain and in my relation, which isn't easy. But managing. And you?

5:03 am

herinfernallady

Well you just be kind to yourslef

5:04 am

sprite

yes I try, I really do! And even managing partly, so I am reasonably proud of myself. How are you doing?

5:06 am

herinfernallady

Slowly

5:06 am

herinfernallady

Back room of the house is done

5:07 am

sprite

wow, well done.

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Bathroom toilet emergancy was dealt with no stress. Stupid pipe fell out of the toilet at 1030pm last night. Love FLy lady for that one

5:08 am

sprite

ouch, must have made a spectacular noise!

5:09 am

herinfernallady

No noise. Just the pipe that connects the tank to the loo unattached itself. But because of fly lady the bathroom was clean, there was spare towels to mop up the water and there was no mount washmore to cry about as it was done

5:10 am

sprite

wtg lady! Could have been much worse indeed.

5:11 am

herinfernallady

I think so. I have scheduled into my phone repeat events on Friday to wash towels and repeat events every Wednesday to vacuum and dust the bedroom.

5:14 am

sprite

oh that is smart. I might copy that, when I start organising my days again. From Monday on.

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Do you have a smart phone ?

5:15 am

sprite

no, but I can set alarms

5:17 am

herinfernallady

Ok. What I have on my iphone is at 1pm every day check laundry put on a load, every second Wednesday (as it is cooler at the moment) vacuum bedroom so the dust bunnies don't kill me and every Friday Towels

5:18 am

sprite

yes, something like that should work for me too. I promised myself to get things together from the moment the children go back to school.

5:18 am

herinfernallady

I just use Fly lady. it is so helpful and a sanity saviour.

5:19 am

herinfernallady

I had the landlord comment on how clean the toilet was both inside and out and teh bathroom in general

8:24 am

wvteach

good morning - must have sent the heat and humidity this direction for both today and tomorrow

8:25 am

Anniebrook

morning, teach

8:26 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

8:27 am

wvteach

good morning all

8:27 am

Anniebrook

8:27 am

howdy teach,annie

8:28 am

wvteach

morning crossy

8:30 am

Nef

It was in the 90's with very high humidity yesterday (my usual weather page isn't there today!) but it's 75 and dew point is down in the 50's now; MUCH more comfy

8:30 am

Nef

hi Annie, crossy, wvteach and everybody else.

8:31 am

Nef

wv, I need some coffee: I thought your icon was a fuzzy halter top til I checked your profile! :-)

8:33 am

wvteach

these small icons are hard to make out even under the best of circumstances

8:35 am

uusue2

hi again, all! popping in briefly before class...

8:35 am

uusue2

...and nef, I thought the same thing about wv's icon! Also we have one more day of beastly hot weather, then it will cool off here too.

8:36 am

Nef

but it's so much fun to see what everyone has for theirs! I know, I should change mine, but if I do change mine a lot I can't figure out where I'm at.

8:36 am

Nef

Take care of yourself in the heat, sue. Use a spritzer bottle to stay cool

8:37 am

uusue2

nef, I change mine every day now; once I got into the habit it turned out not to be a problem (every once in a while I forget who I am, but it doesn't last long :-)

8:37 am

uusue2

and thanks to the chog, which gave me an s and an 8, I now have nbs and nbt and can go to class with a clear conscience :-)

8:38 am

Nef

WTG, sue!

8:38 am

wvteach

i usually get it changed once a week or so - but i guess i better change it so it is not so confusing

8:38 am

wvteach

congrats sue

8:39 am

Nef

it isn't confusing, wv; I'm just having my 1st cup of coffee and that will help

8:41 am

Nef

I've decided to retire soon; then I may have more time for Babble and maybe then I can learn to switch my icon more often

8:42 am

MollyL

A fuzzy halter top. Good one Nef! : )

8:42 am

Nef

straight out of the 60's, Molly! ;-)

8:43 am

Nef

(or maybe the 70's would be better)

8:44 am

car.eeyore

Good morning!

8:44 am

Nef

hi car.ee

8:44 am

MollyL

Yes, we need some denim cut offs with a peace sign patch to go with. Morning Car.

8:45 am

Anniebrook

Hi Molly and car.

8:46 am

car.eeyore

Hi Nef! Hi Annie! Hi Molly!

8:46 am

Anniebrook

and platform shoes

8:47 am

crosshair

crossy still has his thin suede open throat shirt with the tassels and one or 2 wide collar dress shirts.....my platforms were the first thing to go,2 tone white over brown they were

8:47 am

MollyL

Hi Annie. Yes, some ankle twisters (that is what I call platform shoes)

8:49 am

Habes

Good morning from Mr. Bob

8:49 am

Anniebrook

Hi Mr. Bob

8:50 am

Nef

I still have my leather vest with the 2 foot long fringe (with a few wooden beads threaded onto the fringe and the matching mini skirt (wrap around style); but the knee high platform boots (that DH called "hooker boots" because the soles were 4" high --which kept me out of the rain and snow!) are long gone.

8:50 am

car.eeyore

hi Mr. Bob!

8:50 am

car.eeyore

Hi Crossy!

8:50 am

JBV

hi babblers, platform shoes were great! [spoken by someone who's 5'1") :0

8:51 am

car.eeyore

Crossy, did you see the article on FB about bacon roses?

8:51 am

car.eeyore

hi JBV!

8:51 am

JBV

now, I'd be afraid I'd fall off them

8:51 am

JBV

hi car

8:51 am

Nef

And there is now way in God's green earth I'd ever be caught dead in that outfit again! (My daughter has worn the vest and skirt before though)

8:52 am

Nef

hi JBV and Mr. Bob

8:52 am

JBV

my favorite pair of shoes ever were suede platform shoes with a patchwork of colors - pink, yellow, light green, so happy wearing them, nice to remember

8:55 am

crosshair

i have seen the bacon roses before car.they are quite interesting

8:55 am

car.eeyore

OK good. Just wanted to make sure you knew they existed!

8:55 am

car.eeyore

I am off...much work to catch up on. I hope you all have a GREAT day!

8:57 am

Nef

Last time I was "up home" I went through our old closet there and had to laugh. I was a County Health Nurse up there in the early 70's and ALL of my work dresses were very professional except that they were all short with the hems at my fingertips. Back then I thought I looked and was dressed professionally, now I know why so many of the men had high blood pressures!

8:57 am

Nef

bye car.ee. HAGD!

8:58 am

JBV

LOL, nef, I remember those short skirts, too - it was easier to pack then, I traveled through Europe with just a flight bag (clothes were tiny and so was I)

8:58 am

JBV

now I'd need a steamer trunk :)

8:59 am

Nef

LOL!

8:59 am

crosshair

and i also must be off to work,but before i go,i leave you with crossys tidbit of the day!

8:59 am

crosshair

Charles Lindbergh was named Time magazine’s first “Man of the Year” in 1927. But what turned into an annual tradition for the publication actually started as an apology: Time had embarrassingly left Lindbergh off the cover after his landmark solo flight and “Man of the Year” was their apology.

8:59 am

crosshair

tc all and happy babbling...poink!

9:00 am

Nef

bye, crossy HAGD!

9:18 am

Nef

I got those, joshua. thanks

9:35 am

wildcat17

thank you. I love sharing them

9:36 am

Nef

So glad to hear she did so well, wild. That will really help her a lot (not starting out parenthood completely exhausted from a long difficult delivery)

9:39 am

Nef

Well, time for me to get moving again. BBL. Happy Babbling ALl!

9:43 am

jmcnrick

*steam rising from ears*

9:53 am

wildcat17

uh oh what's up jmc?

9:55 am

jmcnrick

just got a phone call purportedly from my phone company

9:55 am

jmcnrick

the young woman said she was from the billing department and she asked for my husband's name

9:56 am

SeaSpray

if the bill is in your name why does she care?

9:56 am

jmcnrick

IT IS AN ILLEGAL QUESTION

9:57 am

jmcnrick

i scream at her and called her a bitch and then hung up

9:57 am

flosey

good morning everyone

9:57 am

mixi6

good for you jmc

9:57 am

jmcnrick

then i realized i should have just asked for her supervisor and then get to the general counsel to complain

9:57 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

9:57 am

wildcat17

call back

9:57 am

rururocks

*posts signs on JMC's doors warning Jehovah Witnessess*

9:57 am

flosey

lots of purported credit card calls coming these days

9:57 am

Judi

Awesome, jmc!

9:57 am

jmcnrick

so i called back and i am trying to get to the general counsel to complain

9:58 am

jmcnrick

*steam rises*

9:58 am

jmcnrick

hey i am nice to the jehovah witnesses!

9:58 am

jmcnrick

well that is what i am now thinking is that it was actually some kind of phishing

9:58 am

mixi6

probably a scam jmc. best to hang up.

10:00 am

wildcat17

it won't hurt to call your phone company and let them know this happened to you

10:00 am

inge

X

10:00 am

inge

C

10:00 am

jmcnrick

well then the company needs to know that someone is using their name or the company needs to know that someone on staff is asking illegal questions

10:00 am

Judi

Inge speaks in Roman numerals!

10:01 am

rururocks

does anyone have the first ri 6/27 please

10:01 am

jmcnrick

i worked so hard to protect women's financial rights in the 70s

10:01 am

flosey

just working on that now ru

10:01 am

jmcnrick

okay rant done

10:01 am

Judi

I have ri6/27: opponents.

10:02 am

rururocks

before that one judi

10:02 am

wildcat17

rivaled

10:02 am

jmcnrick

ooo phantom: tirade

10:02 am

Haz1558

ri6/27 - ri6/27 Scott, director of Blade Runner

10:02 am

wildcat17

sorry

10:03 am

Haz1558

Or r plus done in languid fashion but with extra vowel inserted.

10:03 am

Judi

Off to the PB with wildcat. Ty, Haz.

10:03 am

mixi6

Penalty box cat

10:03 am

rururocks

thank you haz

10:03 am

rururocks

he has his own word now..

10:03 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:03 am

JBV

hi, jmc, imagine how many unsuspecting people have fallen for the same scam - or worse

10:04 am

wildcat17

fine i'll take my warm sleeping baby and go

10:04 am

Haz1558

I was almost going to clue it using a brand of handbags/purses but it occurred that ruru, you might not be well up in such matters.

10:04 am

JBV

I had a strange experience with my phone company not too long ago, but since it was in my favor, I didn't complain but it seemed weird - I called to report my husband's death and have the name on the bill changed to my own, and they did it without asking for any written proof !!

10:05 am

rururocks

not up on that haz.. mrs ru would be an expert at that

10:06 am

Haz1558

It might be an English brand, starting with ra instead of ri but horribly overpriced. Don't get her interested.

10:07 am

mklein

the same thing happened to me with social security when i reported my husbands death.

10:08 am

JBV

well, I believe social security has ways of accessing public records - in my case, the funeral director notified social security immediately

10:08 am

JBV

so when I called they already had it on file

10:08 am

mklein

I guess they figure no one would falsly report a death if it meant they would lose income

10:09 am

JBV

I'll just take a moment to praise the Social Security Administration - of all the many accounts I had to deal with, they were the most prompt, had the kindest staff, very effective and efficient

10:09 am

rururocks

if it is over-priced..she'd be extremely interested

10:09 am

JBV

no but someone could falsely report a death to claim survivor's benefits

10:10 am

rururocks

anyone able to clue the sa 7/32?

10:10 am

snags

wahoo, a whole $250

10:10 am

JBV

yes, a depressed laundry implement

10:10 am

rururocks

thank you jbv

10:11 am

JBV

how are you doing ru?

10:11 am

rururocks

are there happy ones anywhere?

10:11 am

Haz1558

Some are so happy there's steam coming out of them.

10:11 am

mklein

jbv, thats a great clue.

10:11 am

JBV

I can't remember the last time I used mine, it's probably crying out of loneliness

10:12 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

10:12 am

cybernan

hello everyone - some great clues flying around -- ty

10:12 am

flosey

hi ruby

10:12 am

JBV

and don't even ask me why I keep the ironing board open in the spare room

10:12 am

flosey

and nan

10:12 am

JBV

hi ruby, flosey, nan, and everybody

10:12 am

rururocks

just in case jbv

10:12 am

Haz1558

JBV, why DO you keep the ironing board open in the spare room?

10:13 am

JBV

you know, Haz, I think I'll put it away today :)

10:13 am

Judi

Mine sits out to shame me into ir/4ing. Absolutely HATE that chore.

10:14 am

JBV

do you ever look around your quarters and wonder why some things are where they are or why you even have them? I am motivating myself to de-clutter or at least move some things around

10:14 am

snags

I don't mind that chore.

10:14 am

Judi

Our house is relatively clutter free. The garage, however...

10:15 am

cybernan

stats for the middle bottom s, please?

10:15 am

Haz1558

The garage is terribly useful for more than cars, that's for sure.

10:15 am

cybernan

nm - found it

10:15 am

Haz1558

In fact, ours hasn't seen a car for years but we'll not talk about that.

10:15 am

rubyfoo

ty for the ri6, haz, it's incredible that that's a word

10:15 am

Judi

It is my husband's domain. I only ask for enough room to park my car.

10:16 am

Haz1558

Apparently ri6 is a grey sea turtle. News to me.

10:16 am

rubyfoo

oh yes, now it rings a bell

10:16 am

rubyfoo

10:17 am

rururocks

do you think ri 6 is in the grid on tortoise.. er I mean purpose

10:17 am

snags

Judi, you garaage comment made me smile.

10:17 am

Haz1558

You're being very restrained, ruru, you could have had a porpoise joke in there as well.

10:18 am

rururocks

I know.. I held back

10:18 am

rubyfoo

our garage is multi-purpose: one car, husband's treadmill (under the skylight), animal food, all the furniture we couldn't fit into this house when we moved

10:18 am

rururocks

how about the second La 6.21 after the women?

10:18 am

Haz1558

That earns a gold star.

10:18 am

rubyfoo

I could have a grand "garage sale" except I don't think they're allowed here

10:18 am

JBV

we keep both cars in the garage, most of our neighbors have to park in the driveway

10:19 am

Haz1558

la6/21 - what President Reagan's mother said when showing a photo of her son 'Here' our la6/21'

10:19 am

JBV

la 6 - spanish thief - or a male laundry implement minus the first vowel

10:19 am

rubyfoo

I can't put my little car in the garage because the driveway is steep and there's no way I could back down it

10:19 am

rururocks

cute clue..thank you

10:20 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:20 am

JBV

never mind, Haz's was better LOL

10:20 am

Judi

Used to have a driveway like that, ruru. Hell in the winter.

10:20 am

rururocks

you are the best haz.. thanks too jbv

10:20 am

JBV

kind of pairs up with the sa 7 -

10:21 am

rururocks

wonder if there is a mad ir**?

10:21 am

rubyfoo

is that for a blue laundry day?

10:23 am

cybernan

10:24 am

Haz1558

10:32 am

flosey

thanks for the ta8, Mixi and Haz

10:33 am

I thought ot7 (rhymes with no8) were places where seals were raised....

10:33 am

10:34 am

There is no ot7.

10:34 am

rubyfoo

yum, molly, I'll save it for desert. I just picked enough raspberries for a tart!

10:35 am

Haz1558

se6/21 - se plus an anagram of a lazy word (in the grid)

10:35 am

hurshy

poker player eric se6 (homophone of walk slowly) is the best i can do for a clue...

10:35 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

10:35 am

mixi6

pb ruby, again

10:35 am

stidmama

Well, it is possible to play on this ipad, but not a lot of fun. Back later on the real computer. *poof*

10:35 am

cybernan

is the middle di 6-7-6 a combo?

10:35 am

hurshy

the 6-7 are

10:36 am

MollyL

By the way Ruby, ot7 is a word. As usual, Enable is ignorant of that.

10:36 am

rubyfoo

I didn't even have that one duh me

10:36 am

hurshy

the second six only changes one letter from the first but is unrelated in meaning.

10:36 am

Haz1558

The last di6 is similar but not related.

10:36 am

rubyfoo

thank you, molly

10:36 am

There's a relief.

You're welcome, cybernan.

10:56 am

Haz1558

But you're being paid. It's your duty. Your country needs you.

10:56 am

EvaNadine

they dont need me THIS much, all at once!

10:56 am

Haz1558

They obviously can't do without you.

10:57 am

EvaNadine

i wanted to take today off.
but i couldnt because of this project i have to work on...

10:57 am

Haz1558

We'll be kind and let you stay for a little while.

10:57 am

EvaNadine

but have i even gotten to work on said project yet?
no...

10:58 am

Haz1558

Is it hush hush and top secret or just so technical that we wouldn't understand?

10:58 am

EvaNadine

::beats head against desk::

10:59 am

Haz1558

Don't do that, you might damage government property!

10:59 am

EvaNadine

oh, nothing like that. just something that we were supposed to have a lot more time to work on, but they moved up our deadline by over a month.
and everything else seems to be blowing up at the same time...

10:59 am

Haz1558

Deep breaths.

10:59 am

Haz1558

More deep breaths.

11:00 am

EvaNadine

its basically my job to put out the fires i can + figure out which fires need attention -- and then actually FORCE the rest of the team's attention to them...

11:00 am

Haz1558

And do they not pay enough attention to you?

11:01 am

flosey

breakfast time, bbl

11:01 am

Haz1558

Bye, flosey.

11:01 am

EvaNadine

well, since we are all already overworked with this deadline being moved up, its tough to jostle them out of their focus zone + get them to refocus on something else.
they/we are all working very hard, its just that sometimes i need them to work on something else...

11:02 am

Haz1558

It's obviously frustrating for everyone. Still, it is Friday. Still taking those deep breaths?

11:02 am

EvaNadine

yup.

11:03 am

EvaNadine

life is just busy all-around lately, and ive been feeling a bit stressed. i just really wanted to take today off. :(

11:03 am

Haz1558

But you've been good and gone into work so that's a plus point for you.

11:04 am

cybernan

stuck on those last 4 vi's

11:04 am

cybernan, first two are almost the word for a positive attribute ( as in patience is )

11:05 am

Haz1558

The last two relate to Latin life (lives).

11:06 am

Haz1558

You'd see the last one in the full version of CV. (vi5) and the vi4 is the singular.

11:06 am

cybernan

ok - found the last two -- ty

11:09 am

Haz1558

Well done, ruru.

11:09 am

rururocks

thanks.. that one was hidden

11:09 am

Haz1558

See you again, cybernan.

11:09 am

cybernan

I'm looking forward to the new computer arriving today, but I'm going to have to replace some editing programs that are too old to run on Win7 -- then there is the question of the printer/copier/scanner -- will everything work?

11:09 am

Dorens

hello, from an office that does have electricity. (alien feeling... walking in and turning on a light switch)

11:10 am

rururocks

you still don't have power doren?

11:10 am

Haz1558

Don't ever trust a printer/copier/scanner to cooperate. They're possessed.

11:10 am

cybernan

lol -- hope the new storm bypasses you

11:10 am

Dorens

nope! and getting tired of it!

11:10 am

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens. Sympathies on your lack of power.

11:10 am

cybernan

That's what I'm afraid of, haz

11:11 am

rururocks

you can plug into our generator doren...

11:11 am

Haz1558

My printer has a mind of its own and I'm no mind-reader.

11:12 am

cybernan

this one is HP, so no longer any support for it - I think the next one will be a Canon

11:12 am

Haz1558

Mine's an HP as well.

11:12 am

Dorens

thanks for the sympathy and offer. don't think my extension cord is quite long enough

11:12 am

Haz1558

Anyway, must get to cooking. Enjoy the day!

11:12 am

rururocks

oh.. maybe pick up a couple at the hardware store?

11:13 am

Dorens

12:17 pm

oh thanks Moll didn't expect backup. I wasn't nasty was I?

They would be most upset at calling a sub a boat I think.

I posted updates on there about a very serious issue and situation in the news... and someone tweeted me asking what I thought about Beyonce being pregnant. I basically told her people like her are what's wrong with this world. Can't see past the end of their own noses.

my grand daughter made a comment about beyonce ... to ME..lol... my response was " who could possibly care"

12:26 pm

flosey

to how one's mind gets set into the wrong direction

12:27 pm

hootowl

parents fault mostly

12:27 pm

sammysmom

12:27 pm

negativeneil

Oh, that girl who tweeted me? Well she doesn't seem to have enough of a mind in the first place. Didn't even realize she was being 'insulted' either. Although I wasn't really doing that... only stating fact.

12:27 pm

No kidding, sammysmom! Amen.

12:27 pm

Hi rubyfoo.

I'll see whether amazon.fr has any of the Middleton crostic books that I used to buy in the US

12:29 pm

Hi hego.

12:29 pm

sammysmom

one of the neighborhood girls said " i just want to touch her"

12:29 pm

hego

Hey Ruby

12:29 pm

hootowl

hey ruby - BF did not go to PO yesterday nut he has to go today and then I'll find out postage on sending those crostic mags

12:29 pm

sammysmom

my reactin was that you had better goddam well strive to touch a payckech instead

12:30 pm

negativeneil

Oh good god. Yes, they do that. I have to see this kind of crap up close and personal sometimes... it's sickening.

12:30 pm

hego

Easy there , girl

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

hello hego, I haven't seen you in a long time

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I think mom needs a hug {{mom}}

12:31 pm

hego

I'm in and out Ruby

12:32 pm

I'm still trying to figure out when these "stars" became more important than god! Most of them are thugs of some sort.

12:32 pm

hego

(((MOM)))

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

hootowl, it is very kind of you, but maybe I can order them from here

12:32 pm

sammysmom

then sadly- i realised that this person did not know the meaning of the word "strive" and that even though she was 19... hd never earned a paycheck

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

that is definitely depressing, mom!

12:32 pm

hootowl

well I'll still have him find out - just in case!

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

but you have to go to the pb anyway, hahah

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

thank you (and thank him!)

12:33 pm

negativeneil

That's the age of that person who tweeted me, sammysmom. I'll bet she wouldn't know it either. I was very different at 19, can't relate.

12:34 pm

sammysmom

slurps her home made chinese chop suey in the pb

12:34 pm

hootowl

I believe that mom - for too long the parents have just been giving the kids everything they want without and need to work for it

12:34 pm

negativeneil

I was in college [UCSC] at that age, studying political science.

12:34 pm

hootowl

me too

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

mom, I miss oriental food, if I put a word in the chog, may I share?

12:35 pm

hootowl

will do ruby

12:35 pm

sammysmom

come on ruby

12:35 pm

MollyL

Oh Amen Hoot. 9-year-olds have cell phones these days for Gods sake.

12:35 pm

hego

low mein for Ruby!!!

12:35 pm

hootowl

chop suey isn't chinese

12:35 pm

negativeneil

Make it a good word that's hard to clue, ruby.

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

and too much money in their pickets which is why they're fat!

12:35 pm

hego

yea Ruby

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

it's American, isn't it?

12:35 pm

hootowl

I can put some real recipes in my profile if you'd like

12:36 pm

hootowl

yep

12:36 pm

doseffing

... it's from San Francisco I believe

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

I've been making ersatz sushi for myself as a midnight snack: lumpfish roe, sticky rice, quail egg yolk seasoned with soy sauce and wasabi. Still looking for no** here

12:37 pm

hootowl

I took 3 years of chinese cooking classes though so now half the time I just wing it instead of using a recipe

12:37 pm

sammysmom

when my girls were teens and HAD to have designer jeans- holes in their ears - and fnacy shoes........ my response was sure babies- lets go to the boe and i will get work permits for you and you can male the money and buy whatever you want

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

do you the thing with duck where you put its head in a drawer and let it dry out for two days (to make Peking duck)?

12:38 pm

negativeneil

Good, sammysmom.

12:38 pm

hootowl

as long as your sure the fish is fresh and clean - enjoy ruby

12:38 pm

hego

duck in a drawer?

12:38 pm

hootowl

Haven't tried that yet. Memphis is not good for that. DRAWER???

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

I read that in the New Yorker, some famous Chinese couple who travelled would dry out the duck that way

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

so that it would be crispy

12:39 pm

hego

sounds medieval

12:39 pm

MollyL

My kids all had part-time jobs as soon as they were old enough to get a work permit. I don't understand parents who hand their kids money for everything they want.

12:39 pm

hego

but would probably work

12:39 pm

negativeneil

So did we, Molly... my brother and I.

12:40 pm

hootowl

Supposed to hang it in a clean room. They don't exist here because of forced air systems that are not cleaned, becasue they are rentals

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

I had a friend, years ago, who was a Chinese food expert and he would wrap a duck in a towel, smash it thoroughly with a hammer, cram it in a just-big-enough pot and cook it for 24 hrs

12:40 pm

negativeneil

No. Kids don't learn anything that way... especially not the value of anything. They also don't develop a good work ethic. My parents wouldn't spoil us like that and now, I'm glad.

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I started to work, without pay, in my father-s candy store when I was 7. I couldn't scoop ice cream, but could do everything else

12:41 pm

sammysmom

when i tell the younger generation that i have worked at some job or another - sometimes 2 at a time since i was 10- they laugh and say that's impossible..... well it wasn t impossible and i did it

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I loved it!

12:41 pm

hootowl

Well, just like us, dif parts of China have dif cousines

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

amen, mom

12:41 pm

hego

wouldn't there be a lot of splintered bones, Ruby

12:41 pm

Krysten

My parents gave me an allowance but I had to work for it. Once they started giving me that, then I had to start buying my own school clothes, books, etc...I was only 11.

12:41 pm

hootowl

I cant spell today

12:41 pm

MollyL

It's really sad how spoiled some kids are. They have nannies and maids and learn to do nothing on their own.

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

when it's cooked that way, you can even eat the bones "don't try this at home!"

12:42 pm

Krysten

Taught me how to save for the "important" things

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

it was truly the best duck I've ever had!

12:42 pm

negativeneil

That's fine, Krysten. That's what our parents did too. Kids should have an allowance, but should have to help around the house for it.

12:42 pm

MollyL

<---Getting queasy at the smashed duck idea.

12:43 pm

hootowl

hego - raw bones don't spinter, they just kinda separate. That's why they tell you not to give dogs cooked bones

12:43 pm

hego

interesting Ruby

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

it's already dead, molly

12:43 pm

Krysten

We lived on a farm and had to get up early every day to do chores

12:43 pm

negativeneil

I'm just pretending I don't see that, Molly.

12:43 pm

hego

lol Molly

12:43 pm

Krysten

when we didn't we were "docked" part of our allowance

12:43 pm

negativeneil

Exactly, hootowl. Cooked bones do splinter.

12:43 pm

hootowl

it's ok moll - I'm sure it was already dead:D

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

smashed ducks, sounds like a rock band

12:43 pm

sammysmom

when i mentioned allowance to my dad he said, " absolutely - i will ALLOW you to work as long as you keep up with your school obligatiions and household chores".

12:43 pm

negativeneil

Know that from growing up with raw-fed labs.

12:44 pm

hego

dale

12:44 pm

hego

OOPS!

12:44 pm

Krysten

I also live about 10 km from town so working wasn't as easy as that

12:44 pm

negativeneil

Haha, sammysmom. Well once we were old enough to get p/t jobs, we did that... and no more allowance. But before that we had one, as long as we did our chores. It wasn't much but enabled us to save for things we wanted.

12:44 pm

MollyL

Speaking of what kids are NOT learning these days, they are not learning how to cook.

12:44 pm

Krysten

until my parents thought I was older enough to bike that far on my own

12:45 pm

negativeneil

We knew how to cook... both parents worked, so we had to get some of our own meals.

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

my mother never taught me to cook, I only learned after I became a faculty wife and it was a dish-by-dish process

12:45 pm

negativeneil

Not fancy stuff, but we were pretty self-sufficient.

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

my son has turned out to be a serious cook, probably because his wife is a vegetarian

12:46 pm

Krysten

But then, I became so independant that I moved out of my parents house at the age of 17

12:46 pm

Krysten

But then, I became so independant that I moved out of my parents house at the age of 17

12:46 pm

hego

I'm Italian. We'r born knowing how.

12:46 pm

Krysten

But then, I became so independant that I moved out of my parents house at the age of 17.

12:46 pm

Krysten

But then, I became so independant that I moved out of my parents house at the age of 17

12:46 pm

negativeneil

I moved out at 18, to go away to college. And never returned, except for visits.

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

that's true, hego!

12:47 pm

hego

they drum you out if you can't

12:47 pm

sammysmom

i was peeling veggies, setting the table and doing dishes when i was 6... made my ow bed and swept floors and helped with laundry------- the4re were no child labor laws then

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

where did you take Chinese cooking classes, hootowl?

12:48 pm

Krysten

I still had almost 2 years of high school left.

12:48 pm

hootowl

Oboy hego - I'm italian too. BUT my mother was the worst cook in the world! I tought myself and watched how othere made stuff. I can now cook in 4 did languages!

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

I used to love to cook, but I've lost interest now that we don't entertain much any more

12:49 pm

hootowl

Night school when I was married and still in NY

12:49 pm

negativeneil

Nothing wrong with doing little chores like that as a child, sammysmom. Doesn't hurt a healthy child.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

aaah, you can learn anything in NY!

12:49 pm

hego

I've heard this before, Hoot

12:49 pm

Agreed Ruby!

Child labour laws...permits?? Must be a US thing

I give up with 66 left....

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

where are you krysten?

12:50 pm

hego

I don't like this grid much

12:50 pm

flosey

surely child labour laws don't apply to having chores to do at home

12:50 pm

hego

It's not cooperating with me

Toronto, Canada

12:51 pm

I wouldn't think so, flosey.

12:51 pm

Oh, Ontario.

12:51 pm

flosey

I'm feeling the same way hego, not enjoying this grid

12:51 pm

Krysten

Yup

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

or to my working in my father's store -- he didn't hit me with a stick or anything, lol

12:51 pm

negativeneil

I've been to Toronto a couple of times. Nice.

12:51 pm

sammysmom

you are right neg and what i learned has helped me throughout the years- also learned to sew, mend, darn, embroider, crochet and knit starting at 6... also was taught to play games like rummy dominoes, checkers, cribbage and do crossword puzzles.... we all could rad before we went to school- nana saw to that

12:51 pm

Hi Flosey, I grew up in Sutton (Georgina)

12:52 pm

doseffing

... according to the Globe and Mail this morning ... Canada and the US are the only developed countries whose labour laws do not prevent working before the kid is 15

12:53 pm

flosey

Krysten, are you sure? You do have to stay in school at least until age 16 - or is it 18

12:53 pm

sammysmom

sorry neil , right- and i taught my own 4 kids most of the stuff i learned .. of course they get to use spray cleaners and a vacuum cleaner

12:53 pm

Krysten

you have to be in school, until 16 unless you have guardian or parental permission to quit

12:53 pm

doseffing

... the problem with kids working outside the home is going to be that emplyment becomes more important to them than going to school ... afterall ... they get paid for working ... not for going to school

12:53 pm

Krysten

but you can work at any age, as long as you can get hired

12:54 pm

flosey

really dose! I had a girlfriend who had to apply to the government to work before she was 16 - that was way back!!! about 1848

12:54 pm

negativeneil

I was born and raised in San Diego. I've lived in Santa Cruz since attending college there, except for a brief period where I lived temporarily in Brooklyn NY, for an assignment I was doing. Now some of my family in LA are trying to convince me to move here... ugh. I'm visiting in LA at the moment.

12:54 pm

Krysten

I think Alberta is the only province that has specific laws to govern child labour

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

great food in LA, Neil!

12:54 pm

flosey

oops, sorry, 1948

12:54 pm

negativeneil

We had a minor earthquake here yesterday. The hanging ceiling lights were moving slightly.

12:54 pm

sammysmom

it is the attitude of the parents and educators-- we were allowed to work as long as we did well in school-

12:55 pm

doseffing

... In Ontario it

12:55 pm

doseffing

... In Ontario it's mostly done by the insurance companies ... the employees can't be bonded to handle money until they're 16

12:55 pm

flosey

ok, part time work is different - after school

12:56 pm

Krysten

sure, but what is part time?

12:56 pm

doseffing

... there is no such thing as part time work after school ... ... as far as the employers are concerned ... you're working for me first ... not going to school ... afterall it's my business

12:57 pm

doseffing

... it's not the fifties and sixties anymore

12:57 pm

flosey

hmmmm, showing my age!

12:57 pm

negativeneil

Funny, doseffing... but my brother and I both had part time jobs after school. And that was only a decade ago for me.

12:57 pm

Krysten

In Ontario, it's defined as anything as long as you don't work 32 hours a week or more for more than 8 weeks in a row

12:57 pm

doseffing

... I know flosey ... I had to learn the hard way by going back to a high school environment

12:58 pm

hego

have to go. bbl

12:58 pm

doseffing

... yeah ... but that's just a definition

12:58 pm

Krysten

yes but employers will take advantage

12:58 pm

doseffing

... if the boss phones and says come in now ... ... I have to study for a test doesn't cut it as an excuse and jobs are hard to come by

12:59 pm

Krysten

part time also means lower minimum wages (students), no benefits, sick pay, etc

12:59 pm

MollyL

My youngest is 19 and going to vocational training. He has a part-time job after that 3.5 hours a day, 5 days a week. There are lots of part-time jobs for teenagers.

12:59 pm

negativeneil

Oh, yes. It's always been like that though. You have to study and do homework on your own time.

12:59 pm

Krysten

employers will hire more students than adults if they were permited

12:59 pm

flosey

yes dose, they can always get someone else who is willing to forego studies

12:59 pm

doseffing

... yeah ... but they've never had them ... so they can't lose them ... and they believe they're immortal and will never get sick

1:00 pm

flosey

oops,. must go, have to groc. shop bbl

1:00 pm

Krysten

I know...I work for one of the biggest retaillers in Canada and we had to put "policies" in place or our store owners would hire only students

1:00 pm

doseffing

... we've got to be careful with generalizations ... there are lots of hardworking kids in school and out

1:00 pm

negativeneil

Geez.

1:01 pm

negativeneil

Of course there are, doseffing.

1:01 pm

doseffing

... but there's also lots of kids who see no use in school because someone will pay them 10 bucks an hour and that satisfies all my needs now ..

1:01 pm

Krysten

there are also a lot of kids who don't feel they should have to work if Mommy and Daddy keep giving them everything

1:02 pm

Krysten

I went to school with a girl who was my friend for years but she never would work

1:03 pm

Krysten

she's now almost 40 and still lives at home

1:03 pm

Krysten

and doesn't work

1:03 pm

doseffing

... absolutely ... but that's always been there ... I meant to ask sammysmom what her grandparents thought of Elvis and the Everly Brothers and Bill Haley ... my guess is much the same as she ... and I ... think of Beyonce

1:05 pm

doseffing

... ohh well ... I'm starting to sound like one of the five Yorkshiremen ... ... a fish slap for me for taking things too seriously

1:07 pm

Wolvie

back again and needing clues for the vi 5/18 and 6/30

1:07 pm

negativeneil

You're kidding me, Krysten? I'm 26 and have worked full-time since I graduated from college... supporting myself in my own apartment. I can't imagine living with my parents now, never mind at 40. I was out of their house at 18 and never went back, other than for visits.

1:08 pm

Wolvie

nm - got them

1:08 pm

negativeneil

Patience is a vi***, Wolvie. Minus the usual last vowel. Then pluralize that for the vi6,30.

1:08 pm

Wolvie

lol that always seems to worl

1:08 pm

Wolvie

work

1:12 pm

negativeneil

Oh sorry, you had them already?

1:13 pm

Wolvie

no - as soon as i asked, i saw them - don't know why it works that way sometimes, lol

1:14 pm

negativeneil

Yes, it seems to work that way sometimes.

1:15 pm

MollyL

The problem is the kids who don't work at all because Mommy and Daddy pay for everything. Their cars, their college years apartments, everything.

1:33 pm

sprite

1:35 pm

1:36 pm

uusue2

1:36 pm

1:45 pm

1:45 pm

MollyL

Okay, duh. Had the stein word, just didn't know what it meant. I am not fluent in German or Yiddish.

1:46 pm

sprite

something new learned from babble then... never wasted

1:46 pm

MollyL

I actually had a friend in grade school whose last name was that word.

1:47 pm

sprite

I didn't know what it meant until I looked it up for the icon either.

2:03 pm

Nef

I really like my job; but my family needs my attention and she'd told me 2 days ago that when I return to work they expect 100% of my attention and focus when I'm at work. I was due to go back to work Sept. 12th; but with all the family things (and my own health also) I just can't do it any more. And it is a relief to say that too!

2:04 pm

sprite

very well done, Nef. Wish I had been so wise a long time ago. Good for you!

2:04 pm

Aloyisius

.. back.. gave up, shut down the laptop and came upstairs to use the desktop.. NOW I can chat, (hopefully).

I think Inge has the same problem a lot of Babble Expert users have. Apparently if you type two letters, they end up in the chat log, instead of the add word box.

2:28 pm

negativeneil

Oh, ok! I don't use Babble Expert.

2:28 pm

MollyL

Neither do I, it has too many bugs in it.

2:28 pm

negativeneil

Thanks, jes... just checking it.

2:28 pm

works as a charm here, no bugs

2:28 pm

I've just never found a need to install it. A regular browser works fine for me.

2:30 pm

hego

I've never had a problem using it

2:30 pm

and no, if you type two letters, they do not go the the chat log. Only if you use a space in between a word and two letters

2:32 pm

Aloyisius

ex

2:32 pm

sprite

sorry but it is just not true. You only get a chat message like 'ed' if you type 'explain ed' in stead of explained. So it is a user bug and not a program bug.

If the chat box and the add box are combined, how do you send one thing to chat and the other to the word list?

if I type one word, Molly, it goes to the puzzle. When I type two words or more, using a space in between, they go to the chatbox

never even looked at the bottom esses and there are three

2:37 pm

MollyL

Well, like I said, I don't use Expert. But some people who do, find that typing two letters will send them to the chat box. I can't explain why that happens to some and not others.

2:37 pm

Aloyisius

but, but.. you mean you do NOT have an empty box at the top of your chat?

2:38 pm

Pate is mostly vegetables, except for the one meat ingredient. Vegetable pates substitute beans and/or nuts for the meat. Kind of like hummus.

8:18 pm

Minveryork

Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:22 pm

stidmama

*wanders in and offers choclits* hey all!

8:23 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:26 pm

jesdraggon

hi min, stid :)

8:26 pm

stidmama

I am well, Min -- spent about 6 hours helping in my friend's classroom. She'll have a fine weekend and have plenty of time to get ready before the kids arrive next Wednesday.

8:27 pm

stidmama

hey jes -- how's the dog fence going?

8:29 pm

jesdraggon

they'll be pretty stoked, i think. mostly it's a horse fence though--we're going around 12 acres or so.

8:29 pm

jesdraggon

so lots of posts, no wire yet.

8:30 pm

stidmama

ack. TWELVE acres?!? *mind boggles, then goes blank trying to count that high*

8:31 pm

jesdraggon

one of the lovelies of living in the back of beyond. We have 29 acres.

8:32 pm

jesdraggon

we're going to run the invisible fence along the horse fence, so that the dogs can have the whole field too

8:36 pm

stidmama

That's a wonderful idea!

8:37 pm

stidmama

we have just over one acre, but would only fence about half if we had the money. Originally thought it would be the back, but after what those venison have been doing to my flowers, considering fencing the front where all the gardens and orchard are...

8:38 pm

jesdraggon

heh. nice that you call them venison while they're still walking around

8:40 pm

stidmama

yes, I thought about that after I hit send. I think there might be a slight loss of "cute" when the gladioli all disappear in a single night. Too bad I can't actually eat those critters... but after consuming my glads they probably would taste somewhat peculiar now.

8:40 pm

jesdraggon

why can't you eat them? allergies?

8:42 pm

stidmama

yes, they are bovine, so off-limits to me.

8:42 pm

lbdawger

hi stiddy, hi jes

8:42 pm

stidmama

hey LBD

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

they aren't bovine though

8:43 pm

Dorens

hi all. i have electricity!!

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

hi dawg :)

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

they aren't even ruminents

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

ruminants

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

yay dorens!

8:44 pm

lbdawger

hi dorens! yeah for electricity!

8:44 pm

stidmama

well, sheep, goats and cows are all off-limits... are deer that different from those?

8:44 pm

stidmama

YAY DOREN!!!

8:45 pm

Dorens

someone asked what i liked best about getting electricity back.. I had to admit it was the computer

8:45 pm

jesdraggon

yes. deer, elk, and moose are cervids, not ruminants.

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

i don't know how food intolerance would or wouldn't cross-over, but we have a lot of dogs that don't tolerate beef based diets that do fine on venison diets.

8:46 pm

stidmama

hm. they don't ruminate?

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

no. they have a 3-chambered stomach, not a 4-chambered one.

8:46 pm

stidmama

maybe I will ask the allergist if they might be safe. I learned another new thing and still several hours before bedtime! LOL

8:47 pm

mkg

clues for the o words top right?

8:47 pm

stidmama

wow. it's going to be COLD tonight -- mid forties.

8:48 pm

stidmama

And predicted to be low 80s -- that is a huge swing anticipated from morning to afternoon for us!

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

heh. though really, it should be the protein structure of the muscle tissue that's of concern for allergies, right?

8:48 pm

stidmama

mkg, like the orange and black bird from baltimore

8:48 pm

stidmama

yes, that is the concern -- I don't know which proteins might cross-over and cause a reaction

8:49 pm

stidmama

I can still eat pork, though so maybe venison would work.

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

well, assuming you don't have full on anaphylactic shock reaction, you could try a few bites and see what happens. Obviously, if there is risk of more than just discomfort, that wouldn't be such a swell plan

8:50 pm

stidmama

I get full anaphylaxis. Very scary.

8:50 pm

mkg

got the bird stid. ty. and plural.

8:50 pm

stidmama

just cooking something on a griddle next to or after beef can cause me to have a full reaction.

8:50 pm

stidmama

go mkg go!

8:51 pm

jesdraggon

ah well. then don't go experimenting without your doctor's supervision! i wouldn't wanna accidentally hospitalize you!

8:51 pm

stidmama

so far sheep and goat just make me have hives.

8:51 pm

mkg

need two more for that o.

8:51 pm

mkg

and two more of the n words below the o.

8:51 pm

stidmama

LOL no worries, jes -- I am far too cowardly!

8:51 pm

stidmama

I need two more for that O also...

8:52 pm

jesdraggon

well, stid, if you ate some beef on accident, you might say that it causes an or6/21

8:52 pm

mkg

ty for clues

8:52 pm

stidmama

hm. thanks jes *thinking*

8:53 pm

stidmama

YES! LOL it does -- like walking on hot coals or trial by fire...

8:53 pm

stidmama

I am suddenly down to 97.

8:53 pm

mkg

jes i dont get that or clue. reaction i would get. hives or sneezes i would get. asthma i would get. coughing i would get.

8:53 pm

mkg

now i got it. ty for clues.

8:53 pm

jesdraggon

and going through those reactions would be an or6, mkg

8:53 pm

stidmama

I think I will go see if Tom needs help in the kitchen. And then I want to do some learning on that new ipad.

8:54 pm

mkg

i have one 8. the no. what are others please?

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

ooh, new toy! :)

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

have fun, stid!

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

don't know, mkg

I tr 5/12 to finish this grid but couldn't. I have given up on the grid at la 4/4. I gave up on the grid after I ea 4/4ed 1997 points. Now I'll ai4/5 my de 4/5 Babble friends with a story of clues. I am an av4/8 fan of my dog Da4/5,but he often gets very sick. My dog has a very weak stomach. Often have to de4/5 with a sick dog. He often ea 4/4 table scraps and gets sick. Not a good id4/5 to le 4/5 your dog to a plate full of meat Hubby is the one who feeds him the table scraps, but when dog gets sick, hubby sits there id4/5 as I clean up the mess. The le 5/10 he could do is hold dog while I am cleaning up. Have always de5/12 w/his sickness with TLC because I realize that it's not his fault that he gets sick. My dog also gets sick if he ri5/12 in the car for too long. Fortunately, his sickness la5/10 for less than 30 minutes. Would be id 5/12 to have a dog that never gets sick, but I wouldn't trade my dog for any other dog in the world. My dog's demeanor is not ta4/4ished when he's sick. He happily wags his ta4/4 even when he's sick. I love him! Dr 4/5! Hubby wants the computer. He thinks I have us4/6 it long enough. Sa 5/16, patience is not one of hubby's vi 5/18es and he can't wait for the laptop.We often become ri5/16 over laptop.If I don't give it to him,he will make a big or 6/21 out of it. I have ri 7/44 with him before over laptop and his or7/32 are not fun, so I'll just give him computer. Oh how I ye 5/14 for another computer. I wish we could buy another laptop on sa4/4 at Se4/4s but the sa 5/10 are never good enough and we can't afford it. Anyway,I am going to get out of this se4/4 and go ir 4/4 some clothes. Then I am going to go ra 4/5 the fridge for a snack. I was not an ed 6/21 and did not ed4/5 story so there may be some mistakes I did not see with my ey4/6. I will see you tomorrow la 6/21 and gentlemen. Goodnight to my fellow babblers.
