ah I see :) Yes, it is a darkening month. I love Autumn though. This is the time everything goes back to its core... the tree pulls back its energy into roots and trunk, the fruits into their seeds and cores... it is a time of empowering too.
4:31 am
sprite

darn, already had all of them. You can do better, ruby, I just know it.
4:31 am
rubyfoo

I never thought of looking at it that way. What a healthy and optimistic view! I can always count on wise sprite!!!!
4:33 am
sprite

just looking at nature :)
And people are just the same, you know, if they listen to their hearts. This time of year, there is less distraction and we tend to turn inward, check our resources, let things condensate into their kernels.
4:34 am
MollyL

That is very much the Pagan belief about this time of year, Sprite. It is the time that Nature draws within to rest.
4:34 am
rubyfoo

when I lived in the NE and was exhibiting, this was the time of year when the shows started
4:34 am

maybe that's what I miss

hey Molly :)
Yes, Pagan is very much in tune with nature, I believe.
4:36 am
MollyL

And it is a darker time, and so we bring the light within. In our hearths and in our candles. Hey, we even bring nature inside when we decorate with garlands and a tree.
4:37 am
sprite

very true!
4:37 am
rubyfoo

I'm listening to both of you and maybe thinking that way will help me
4:39 am
sprite

it will. Especially if you burn a lot of candles and maybe a nice fire in the hearth, grin.
4:39 am

fires every day out of necessity!

OMG, tm 6/21 one of my all time favorite words!!!
4:40 am

It's so rare that it shows up in a puzzle :)
4:40 am

good! I love fires. Maybe if you'd try to really enjoy them, pull the light and energy into yourself, and not just see them as only necessary?

I used to think the trees looked bare and lonely at this time of year until I read this quote..."overhead, frozen branches rattled in a brief visitation of wind and she thought: 'I am walking under the scaffolding of summer"...Ngaio Marsh
4:41 am
rubyfoo

I've seen it before, but never think of it
4:41 am

Nice quote (not quite) :)
4:44 am
rubyfoo

quite beautiful!
4:44 am
sprite

when the trees are bare, and they stand out so stark against the sky, I always feel like now I can see them as they really are. They often look like silhouets against the winter sky. I love that.
4:49 am

you would love our maples; now that the leaves are almost gone, just a few remaining shreds of yellow, the branches are black and very beautiful
4:51 am
sprite

looks like I will have to visit you twice, ruby, lol. Once in summer, with the bats and the garden... and once in winter, with the maples and hearthfires.
4:51 am
rubyfoo

you know you are welcome, sprite! even Burt says so....
4:51 am
MollyL

Trees are very graceful the way they shed the old, remain at their core for a while and then blossom with the new.
4:52 am
rubyfoo

the quantity of leaves, once down, is incredible
4:52 am
rubyfoo

if you sit outside, you can hear them falling
4:52 am

espcially the tulip tree which has huge leaves
4:52 am

wow. Well, I'd love to. We will email about it, ok? :)
4:53 am

so very true, Molly. They always teach me something about myself and living.
4:53 am

thank you ladies for your upli**ing words!!!
4:54 am

argh I agree! The leaves on the floor in our garden... it is incredible they came from the few trees we have.

No because I think it is more of a neckache. I have been complaining so long but I get stuck on whether I am supposed to go to PT, chiropractic, and also the ENT- too many appointments to deal with pieces of the problem.
7:42 am
Kaplan the Magne

Doesn't anyone look at the whole picture?
7:42 am

thank you for asking.
7:43 am

Our doctor does, she is a fairly new doctor. Very thorough
7:43 am

Does heat help it at all Kap?
7:43 am
Kaplan the Magne

my main doctor does, but then it's the referrals to specialists that bog me down.
7:43 am
Mom

come have an appointment with her :-)
7:44 am
Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yeah- have to slather on some BenGay.
7:44 am

My signature scent.

7:45 am

knock on wood ..... never had to be referred to another doctor
7:45 am
MollyL

I had something painful in my neck once. The heating pad was my best friend until it worked itself out.
7:45 am
Kaplan the Magne

If they called Bengay something like Agony, it could be a designer scent.
7:45 am
MollyL

Sounds like you have a great doctor, Mom. Wish there were more like her.
7:46 am
Mom

she is very good and the doctor in with her is equally as good.

Got my mom to switch to them, now working on my dad to switch

for about 20 years i went from small bank to small bank but they kept getting bought out by the big banks

My small bank has been around since the 1800s. It's not going anywhere.

you can buy those cards here too jmc.

indeed molly,your phone becomes you bank for transfers,bill payments and now as a wallet
9:04 am
redturtlehead

In kenya, the mobile is a realy wonderful thing.
9:04 am
MollyL

And most ATM cards are on a network, so you can get cash anywhere.
9:04 am
Scrabbler

I recently switched to an electronic bank: Perkstreet. I did my research. Read reviews by financial gurus. Great rewards.
9:04 am
redturtlehead

In sudan...well...there isn't as much infrastructure.
9:04 am
jmcnrick

but smart phones that pay bills in kenya somalia and tanzania are not like the black berry smart phones
9:05 am

Maybe I need to do that. Scrbbler, how do you get cash...
9:05 am
Scrabbler

At designated ATMs. Dave Ramsey (radio show/books) endorses Perkstreet.
9:05 am
jmcnrick

it is true moll but i belonged be the only banks anywhere near me are mega banks and i sometimes need to go in person for things
9:05 am
redturtlehead

I like Dave Ramsey to an extent...
9:06 am
jmcnrick

i actually keep most of my money in ING
9:06 am
MollyL

I don't travel much at all. I thought needing to have a branch of your bank where you travel was a thing of the past. Shows how much I know.
9:06 am
Scrabbler

ING, Ally, Perkstreet...electronic banks.
9:06 am
Scrabbler

What bothers you about Dave?
9:07 am
jmcnrick

well it is mostly but for example when i was in hungary i found my bank and got cash without atm or cambio charges
9:07 am
jmcnrick

so there is still a benefit when you travel a lot
9:08 am
MollyL

I guess you have to weigh it all out. The convenience vs. the charges the big banks impose. Everyone has to choose what works best for them.
9:09 am
jmcnrick

true and i do watch the charges like a hawk--most people i find once they settle into a bank don't pay attention. i go to my local branch and get them to reverse the charges i think are unfair -- and it works most of the time

9:47 am

9:48 am

at the least i want to go to scotland--my family's home country
9:48 am
Glantarell

you'd either have a 6 or 8 hour drive and a ferry to go to ireland - with no guarantee that the ferry saols, or a 1 hour flight
9:48 am

too soon welki i don't have the interview yet and you will suffocate!

Is there a high speed train.
9:49 am

crossy, are you near kenora?
9:50 am
bichon

What I don't understand Glant. Yesterday Soodle was talking about her upcoming trip to Spain. since Ireland is a EU country and so is Spain, why would she need an irish passport?
9:50 am
crosshair

no welki..i am much further east
9:50 am
jmcnrick

yes i was just thinking that in texas where i grew up driving an hour in nonrush hour got me in the same city
9:50 am
Glantarell

i know travel is very different in the US and Canada in terms of the distnces people expect to travel, but your roads are also better than ours
9:50 am
crosshair

in ontario actually
9:50 am
Nef

no, welki, he's way far east of Kenora. That is a beautiful place though
9:51 am
crosshair

indeed glant,i have seen pics of some of those cart paths you drive on
9:51 am
Glantarell

you'd need one passport to get into each and every EU country unless you have the right kind of ID card in which case you don;t need a passport at all if you are a European travelling wiothin Europe
9:51 am
jmcnrick

what in all the james bond movies and the avenger they always drove down nice country roads!
9:52 am
jmcnrick

passport or visa?
9:52 am
Glantarell

we have some fabulous country roads, but they are not straight or flat LOL
9:52 am
bichon

I understand that the UK isn't EU, but isn't there an EU ID card for travel?
9:52 am
Glantarell

passport
9:52 am
welki

kenora's in western ontario, crossy .. how do i know? i broke down there years ago and had to spend a couple of days there :) where are you? in lake country?
9:52 am
jmcnrick

i want to drive a mg down a british country road
9:52 am
Glantarell

There is a EU ID card for european travel by europeans, but pretty much only people in the armed forces have them
9:53 am
jmcnrick

but i think i would be confused by the sides
9:53 am
bichon

I want to go to the Cotswolds. But I don't want to drive on the left
9:53 am
welki

<-- drove down oxford street the wrong way during rush hour
9:53 am
Glantarell

I am driving my pretty little Mazda MX5 down the country roads - it's like a modern version of the MG, and it's fun!
9:53 am
bichon

Thanks Glant. I always see the separate line for EU countries at passport controll
9:53 am
TLLC

The cotswolds are lovely especially when we get snow!
9:53 am
Glantarell

Oh, Welki ;-)
9:53 am
jmcnrick

of course in the last indian he was told to just remember the driver goes into the middle and you wont get confused
9:53 am
bichon

I would give anything to visit the Cotswolds. Maybe someday
9:53 am
Glantarell

The Cotswolds are fab but not as good as ales LOL
9:54 am
Glantarell

You could come and stay with me Bichon, they are only an hour or two's drive away form here
9:54 am
jmcnrick

yes my son has a miata and it is very similar to an mg and a lots safer!
9:54 am

What is different about Wales Glant? Comparing it to the Cotswolds
9:54 am
Nef

welki, Kenora is north of Minnesota and I love it there (but will need to get a passport to go there again now

hi TLLC
9:54 am
TLLC

hi sorry I was gate crashing!!
9:55 am
jmcnrick

no no welcome welcome!
9:55 am
Glantarell

Wales is mostly hillier than the Cotswolds, the place names are all interesting, and there are mountains in the north with much more wild and rugged countryside around them
9:55 am
welki

yep, nef .. my car broke down in kenora in -30 weather and i was driving a car with no block heater. it had to be towed and defrosted
9:55 am
MollyL

No gate crashing here. Jump in whenever you like. : )
9:55 am
TLLC

thank-you x
9:55 am
Glantarell

9:55 am
welki

9:55 am

I'm putting both on my list, but no driving on the left for me!
9:55 am

Crossy is in the middle of nowhere.
9:56 am
Glantarell

where in the Cotswolds are you TLLC?
9:56 am
jmcnrick

if i get a job in london i will want to be able to drive
9:56 am

Driving on the left in a right hand drive car is fine...

9:56 am
jmcnrick

*crosses fingers*
9:56 am

We live near Cirencester
9:56 am
Glantarell

Learning how to use gears and a gearstick might be more of a problem - not many automatics here
9:57 am
Glantarell

I got married not far form Cirencester - at Westonbiry
9:57 am
jmcnrick

haha that is all i drive
9:57 am
welki

yep .. shifting with left hand definitely takes some getting used to
9:57 am
jmcnrick

as long as the clutch is the left foot i am fine
9:57 am
Glantarell

clutch is left foot
9:57 am
TLLC

Lovely place - especially at the moment where we haven't had any frost yet!
9:57 am
jmcnrick

ahem well i have actually done a little left handed shifting in my day when the driver's hands were occupied
9:58 am
Nef

welki, I thik crossy is north of the toronto area. What the heck is a Canadian doing without a blck heater?
9:58 am
Glantarell

yes, it is beautiful, especially in the autumn colours with all the acers
9:58 am
welki

you vixen
9:58 am
vanillaslice

you just take care at the crossings because thats where you get most confused
9:58 am
Glantarell

oh, and all the roundabouts - you don;t really have roundabouts in the US & Canada, do you?
9:58 am
jmcnrick

then i would be fine--i think my feet are so automatic on the clutch i would have a wreck if i had to change that
9:58 am
jmcnrick

yes but we call them circles here
9:58 am
welki

i was on my way to alberta, nef .. driving a saab (1986 9000 turbo, jmc .. way before the 9-3s) -- who'd figure a swedish car wouldn't start?
9:59 am
Glantarell

ah, I never saw one in any of my trips so I thought you didn;t have them
9:59 am
jmcnrick

yes welki *settles in for a good story*
9:59 am
Glantarell

we have them everywhere - I'll let TLLC tell you about the 'mgic roundabout' in Swindon
9:59 am
jmcnrick

well there are in the cities more than the countryside
10:00 am
jmcnrick

do tell TLLC
10:00 am
TLLC

Oh God no - I have only driven round it once its terrile there are lots of mini roundabouts (5) all in a circle and you have to go around each one individually
10:00 am
Glantarell

You jusy have to be brave and dive in LOL
10:01 am
Nef

that's so very odd, welki. I would have thought that a Swedish car especially would have started in that weather. Must have been too used to coddling or something?
10:01 am
vanillaslice

we have no traffic lights in our city only roundabouts and it works just fine with less waiting
10:01 am
Glantarell

once you're on it, it's not as bad as you think it will be
10:01 am
jmcnrick

so you go loopdy-loop?
10:01 am
TLLC

the bollardy thing in the middle you have to go around the wrong way
10:01 am
vanillaslice

and no parking meters
10:01 am
Glantarell

and loopty loopty loopty loopty loop!
10:01 am
crosshair

welki,i am 2.5 hrs drive north of toronto
10:01 am
welki

nah, no story ... well a little one. so some guys in lifted pick-up trucks got the saab onto a flatbed and towed me to a garage in the middle of nowhere -- i was like a superstar -- everyone gathered around the car because they'd never seen a car like mine - new computerized electronic ignition - swedish everything (except for the long legged blonde)
10:02 am
jmcnrick

there are still places here without parking meters and the cities are going to different systems
10:02 am
welki

no parking meters in calgary anymore
10:02 am
jmcnrick

haha and i bet you showed those legs to an advantage!
10:02 am
jmcnrick

they are phasing them out in DC and there are none in Austin
10:03 am
vanillaslice

we go to the big city 260 miles away and they spend half their life at traffic lights
10:03 am
welki

you mis-read, jmc .. i said except for the long-legged blonde. you know i'm a short and round brunette :)
10:03 am
Glantarell

roundabouts always flow better than taffic lights
10:03 am
welki

or grey-ette :)
10:03 am
Glantarell

why are parking meters bneing phased out?
10:03 am
jmcnrick

ooohhh so sorry i thought for a second i had the wrong mental pic of you! now i get it
10:04 am
welki

in theory, they do, glant ... not so much in practice here in canada
10:04 am
crosshair

glant,roundabouts are very rare here,but we live in a progressive town and now are proud ownders of 3 roundabouts!
10:04 am
Nef

welki, my sister and I took a trip through Canada to Rhode Island and we were drivng my new 1971 Pontiac Firebird. I understand the interest that the male Canadians have in young women and different cars! :-)
10:04 am
jmcnrick

because of the risk and costs--people rob them and it costs a lot to collect the money
10:04 am
welki

it was only the car they were interested in, nef .. i wasn't young and was with my husband :)
10:04 am
jmcnrick

so now you can phone in or there is a nearby box where you can use bills and credit cards
10:04 am
Glantarell

ah, don;t think the robbing etc is happening here (yet?) so parking meters are still increasing ehre

Roundabouts. We are such simple folks here in the US. We just call them circles. : )

They are just introducing round abouts here in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) MN. In fact, last Sunday the paper had a whole article on how to drive in 2 and 3 lane ones! I think we have 5 round abouts here now in various suburbs
10:07 am

Seems odd, the time on here is 10ish, our time is about 3ish and your time is bedtime!!

10:08 am
Glantarell

which is half the fun!
10:08 am
TLLC

I know its just amazing
10:09 am
welki

it's the yielding thing that freaks everyone out here about roundabouts .. no one can wrap their head around the fact that the vehicles on the inside have the right of way. ergo ... we sit on the porch and watch the traffic sometimes for entertainment
10:09 am
jmcnrick

you can find someone getting up for a cup of coffee pretty much 24/7 around here
10:09 am
Glantarell

we have mini roundabouts and bigger ones and a few giant ones LOL
10:09 am

10:09 am

we have a new roundabout on Vancouver Island, coming off the main highway and going to Airport and other offshoots - takes a bit of getting use to, to say the least
10:09 am
jmcnrick

it was so cool during obama's inaugaration to have the whole community online and so many of them changing their flags for awhile to the US flag
10:09 am
welki

i visited a friend in dunstable once .. he said i should turn off at the magic roundabout and that i'd know what he meant when i got there
10:10 am
Nef

and I believe the paper did call them round abouts; but don't quote me on that for certain
10:10 am
MollyL

Well, I've lived in one place all my life, and here they are just called circles. Roundabout sounds British.
10:10 am
jmcnrick

some places in the US call them round abouts but many still call them circles
10:11 am
jmcnrick

DC has lots of them
10:11 am
welki

when i lived in the states, they were called traffic circles, but were designed differently than roundabouts
10:11 am
helensgirlkid

We call them traffic circles here, and they are much hated.

he knew, most likely

yeah last 60 minutes appearance oct. 2
11:48 am
MollyL

His last broadcast was well done. He reflected on his blessings and a life well lived.
11:49 am
Dorens

i remember it. many people who enjoy their work have no interest in retiring... i believe he was one, and he worked as long as he could. definitely a life well lived
11:58 am
MollyL

If you love what you do, and get paid well for it, I can see why retirement would be of no interest. Those are the fortunate few.
11:59 am
hurshy

name that proper noun! "don't cry for me"
11:59 am
MollyL

Evita!!
12:00 pm
hurshy

ding ding ding!
12:01 pm
Dorens

i love what i do and get paid decently (well. maybe not quite decently), and if i could come in at 10 am instead of 8:30, and work three or four days a week instead of five, and take vacation when i want instead of school vacations (when cheap flights are impossible to find) I'd probably work forever
12:02 pm
MollyL

Sounds like a perfect balance, Dorens.
12:04 pm
Dorens

i seem to always stay two hours past 3:30 (which is when we are supposed to leave) so coming in at ten would really work quite nicely. i could easily do that throughout my seventies at least
12:05 pm
Dorens

i'm glad you see the rationale behind it molly, now why don't you become an educational policy maker?
12:05 pm
MollyL

Oh, if I could, teachers would be paid far better than they are.
12:08 pm
Dorens

i know... if anyone with common sense could, they would. and maybe we would get better teachers too. Unfortunately, most of the young men and women with brains now choose other careers. one of the problems with schools today is obvious. the teachers who had brains but didn't think they could get any better brains (women... before the womens' movement) have all retired and many of the folks who go into teaching today aren't all that bright . sorry, but true
12:08 pm
hurshy

it makes no sense that high schools start so super early when studies have proven that teen biological clocks are pushed later, not earlier.
12:09 pm
Dorens

mean women with brains who didn't think they could get any better JOBS
12:09 pm
Dorens

quite true hurshy
12:19 pm
MollyL

It is true Dorens. The quality of teachers has gone steadily down hill over the past ten years or so. I count myself fortunate that my kids were taught by some of the best.
12:19 pm
Dorens

so why don't the folks in government see that?
12:20 pm
Dorens

cause they want to dismantle public schools and privatize them. corporations can make money from them, and corporations drive the government these days. it is sickening
12:20 pm
MollyL

I have no idea. Teachers are who we entrust the education of our children to. I think they should be held in very high regard.
12:20 pm
Deeha

Over here the standard of teaching hasd gone down and yet every year the A level passes go up and up, How does that happen, Young people are getting to Uni barely able to read and write!!
12:22 pm
Dorens

i truly bellieve it is because teaching used to attract very intelligent (and dedicated) women. when we were kids. it has steadily gone downhill, and i'm sure that is a global phenomenon, as the womens' movement was. And now we need to raise the level of pay and respect to attract better teachers. and we aren't willing to
12:23 pm
Dorens

some of my teachers back in the 1950s clearly could and would have been highly paid lawyers, business people, etc. but it was so much more difficult then. now... why would anyone with a truly keen mind and self-respect want to go into teaching. some do, but they are few and far between.
12:23 pm
hootowl

And you don't put any blame on teaching to a test or no child left behind?
12:24 pm
Dorens

ok, off my soapbox and into my car. a date with my cousin in nyc .. lincoln center
12:24 pm
Deeha

and we need to give teachers the power to take control of their classes and not to have to back away because of threats from pupils and parents
12:24 pm
Dorens

oh sure hootowl, that is also a huge problem. but it came about in response to kids doing poorly to begin with. and i think that was cause of lack of respect for schools and some lousy teachers too. poof
12:25 pm
MollyL

Good point Deeha, I agree.
12:26 pm
sadie52

Hello Everyone :)
12:26 pm
hootowl

too easy. I had to do essay questions on tests. When woulf was in school it was all multiple choice. You don't have to think to take multip;e choice tests
12:27 pm
MollyL

And most of those threatening parents take absolutely no part in their child's education, but are the first people to march into the school to complain.
12:27 pm
MollyL

Hi Sadie
12:28 pm
hootowl

Here they can move their kids from school to school. Makes no sense to me. Bad teacers in every school
12:28 pm
hootowl

Most of the parents have never finished high school and/or work, so they are not able to help
12:29 pm
sadie52

Hi Molly
12:29 pm
MollyL

Oh but Hoot, they would have to know how to write coherent sentences, and spell to take essay tests. All they can manage is text talk.
12:29 pm
hootowl

yup - ain't those stupid phones wonderful?
12:30 pm
hootowl

And try to stop them from using them in class
12:31 pm
hootowl

The big argment is so they can call in an emergency. Depending on the emergency - I'd get the hel out first! Then think about calling
12:31 pm

I find it sad that people are too lazy to type entire words anymore.

I don't either hoot
12:34 pm
hootowl

I was thinking of the shootings. I think that made the parents get the phones
12:35 pm
MollyL

Yeah, but think about it. What good do phones do in a situation like that. You are supposed to be taking cover for your life, not making a phone call.
12:35 pm
hootowl

oh and hi Mooly & peri
12:35 pm
hurshy

i think it's more that you call immediately AFTER to let your parents know you are alive.
12:35 pm
hootowl

Sorry Molly -
12:35 pm
MollyL

And in real terrible times, like September 11th for example, cell phone service goes out anyway.
12:36 pm

hi hursh

Amelu, if more parents were like you, we would not be over run with spoiled brats who get everything they want, when they want it. Nice that you taught your boy responsibility.
12:39 pm
hootowl

I have a Trac-phon. Had it for years. It's in my bag and turned off. That is my safety line. Well yesterday we were having trouble with the landline so I turned it on to see if we had fixed it. Found a text message! I never had texting so they must have added it behind my back!
12:40 pm
hootowl

also a wrong number but....
12:41 pm
amelu0218

he now appreciates those "mean things" that I made him suffer through because he knows that not only did he survive it, so will his children...
12:42 pm
hootowl

This is actually my second phone with them. The first one was better because to call 911 all you had to do was hold the 9 button down. Didn't even have to be on. If anyone is in the markey, Nokia might still be doing them.

I don't understand how some 'parents' feel they have to be friends (equals) with their kids. the kids have control and the parents don't even see it coming until mid-teens hit and disrespectful and disdeignful of everything that comes out of an adults mouth... really?
12:52 pm
amelu0218

sorry, nef, don't know a workaround...
12:56 pm
Nef

I don't get the whole "friend" thing either. Are those parents so short-sighted that they don't realize what a burden a child can be if you don't teach the child how to stand on their own feet? Or don't the parents have any friends of their own?
12:57 pm
Nef

and I don't understand the whole password thing at all; I'll have to wait til my son shows up to deal with this now....

5:11 pm
Mom

shudders
5:12 pm

our government decided on changes to daylight saving time a couple of years ago. Used to be end of October, with a change back at beginning of March.
Now it is end October with a change back at end of March.
6:12 pm
mrpresident

sorry, that last line should read beginning of October
6:12 pm
mrpresident

it essentially gave us about 7 weeks more daylight saving time

6:29 pm
MollyL

What a nice surprise.
6:30 pm
herinfernallady

I have no idea how they kept it a secret. So himself's parents picked us up in their car as they are staying at Grams and Dad decided to allocate himself as the designated driver.
6:31 pm
herinfernallady

Let's just say the parent's got to the drinking and someone couldn't walk in a straight line last night :D

Babs1

any help with the aa words...probably standard babble words...but don't play that often :-)
7:04 pm
herinfernallady

I am right
7:08 pm
MollyL

Babs, aa + consonant+ double vowel and plural
7:09 pm
MollyL

And there is no such thing as "standard Babble words". Just weird, twisted words that often show up in these grids. : )
7:13 pm
herinfernallady

Molly and all bablets are not real words no matter what the dictionary say
7:13 pm
Babs1

thanks Molly
7:14 pm
Babs1

what I should have said is words that the people who play regularly and can finish puzzles would easily pull out of their word brains :)
7:15 pm
MollyL

You're welcome Babs. Herin, I truly dislike the term "babblets". It's just a nice way of saying "stupid word that no normal person uses in conversation".
7:15 pm
herinfernallady

True.
7:15 pm
herinfernallady

Though they have come in handy when playing Scrabble
7:16 pm
MollyL

Babs, my brain refuses to file a word like aa5/10. And I am happy for that. : )
7:17 pm
herinfernallady

Babblet is a really old babble term for random useless in every day life words
7:18 pm
Babs1

any of you in the chog now play word with friends? can we exchange names?
7:19 pm
MollyL

Yes, but it makes me laugh when someone clues a word,
7:19 pm
herinfernallady

Babs if i did there would not be a clean house
7:19 pm
MollyL

"it's a babblet". Like new people are going to know what that means.
7:19 pm
herinfernallady

Then they just ask. It isn't like we don't clue them
7:20 pm
MollyL

Sorry Babs, I am not an smart phone person.
7:22 pm
Babs1

ok...being good at avoiding cleaning and doing things i should be doing lately...;(
7:24 pm

8:27 pm
cosdem

just read an article saying it is the top ranked new show this year.
8:27 pm
Shirlockc

i've been watching too! like it a lot so far
8:28 pm
MollyL

Yay! I think it's my favorite new show this season.
8:28 pm
Shirlockc

much better than that other fairy tale show Grimm
8:28 pm

I haven't checked out Grimm yet, but it looks a little dark for me. (Chicken)
8:33 pm
cosdem

i dont think it'll last long unfortuantely
8:34 pm
Shirlockc

grimm = fantasy / fairy tale + police procedural, having watched so much law and order, the police thing doesn't ring true
8:34 pm
lbdawger

sa5 after the sodiums, pls?
8:34 pm
Shirlockc

fantasy / fairy tale is fine but if you're in the real world be real
8:34 pm
cosdem

there can never be a good police procedural show after law and order :(
8:35 pm
cosdem

well shirl... supernatural on CW is similar to Grimm but it's one of CW'S biggest hits.. and a show i like.. its on the same time as Grimm so I dvr Grimm
8:35 pm
Jeff7

sa5 might be an ointment
8:36 pm
Shirlockc

i haven't watched supernatural so can't say, i like a few of the characters on grimm, just not hooking me like once
8:37 pm
lbdawger

ty, jeff
8:37 pm
cosdem

i think they should have kept the aunt. she seemed to be one of thebetter characters
8:37 pm
Jeff7

yw, not listing tonite so i wasn't sure if that was the next one
8:37 pm
cosdem

li 5/10 after santa's document please
8:38 pm
Shirlockc

they can't make it darker if they don't remove the source of info
8:38 pm
cosdem

hmm good point.
8:38 pm
cosdem

kinda like dumbledore and gandalf dying. the hero is on their own
8:39 pm
Shirlockc

yep, the questing hero

didn't know that was a word! another word learned!
8:43 pm
cosdem

i just monkeyed it when you were asking for a clue :)
8:44 pm
MollyL

Shirl, this whole grid is a lesson in words.
8:44 pm
Shirlockc

it's a tough grid fer sure
8:44 pm
cosdem

39 to go...
8:44 pm
MollyL

The aa's are particularly dumb.
8:45 pm
cosdem

molly i read an articl yesterday on CNN about jk rowling
8:45 pm
cosdem

apparently she was depressed in the middle of the series and nearly killed off ron weasley
8:45 pm
Shirlockc

no! not ron!
8:45 pm
cosdem

i know! ron's my favorite! i m so glad she didn't
8:46 pm
cosdem

she said it was between ron and cedric diggory. she made the right pick
8:46 pm
MollyL

That would have been a HUGE mistake. Glad it didn't happen.
8:46 pm
Shirlockc

i always thought cedric wasn't that big a character
8:46 pm
cosdem

besides ron's my secret husband lol... or at least rupert grint is
8:47 pm
MollyL

I don't get Rowling and why she felt it necessary to kill off so many well loved characters.
8:47 pm
cosdem

dumbledore, i can understand.
8:47 pm
Shirlockc

HA! imagine being a joss whedon fan!
8:47 pm
cosdem

sirius black, i can understand.
8:48 pm
cosdem

oh i love joss whedon!
8:48 pm
MollyL

Cos, please make sure you make Rupert bathe if you ever leave Ryan for him. : )
8:48 pm
cosdem

BTVS is one of my favorite shows :)
8:48 pm
cosdem

lol ok molly...
8:48 pm
cosdem

and yes, shirl, joss likes to kill characters. he killed my 3 favorite characters from BTVS
8:49 pm
Shirlockc

and firefly, remember firefly?!
8:49 pm
cosdem

yes.
8:49 pm
MollyL

TV writers are the worst. It's like they can't get through the end of a season without killing off a main character.
8:49 pm
Shirlockc

and is why i'm a bit surprised i don't like grimm that much, the producers of BTVS and angel is doing grimm
8:49 pm
cosdem

if i ever meet joss, i will punch him in the face. Tara Maclay does not deserve to die.
8:50 pm
cosdem

at least on daytime soaps when major characters die they come back eventually :P
8:51 pm
MollyL

That's true Cos. As themselves (not really killed) or a long lost twin no one knew about.
8:51 pm
cosdem

especially if ur diedre hall .. marlena has died like what? 20 times?
8:51 pm
MollyL

At least.
8:51 pm
Shirlockc

that was a bad one (tara) but then neither does wash need to die
8:52 pm
cosdem

but we're suckers for watching it. we know something's gonna happen to our favorites.
8:52 pm
cosdem

Anya's death was gut wrenching too.
8:53 pm

oh yeah, cordelia eventually died too and i liked her a lot
