good morning sprite!

4:11 am

sprite

hey dobie!

4:11 am

jmbdobie2

been quiet here for a long while

4:12 am

sprite

I see it. A Babble lull :)

4:12 am

jmbdobie2

yep

4:13 am

sprite

looks like a fun grid

4:14 am

jmbdobie2

no too bad so far... i am unable to sleep so it is a nice distraction

4:15 am

sprite

insomnia is nasty. But Babble company is a consolation :)

4:16 am

sprite

wow! It is raining so hard here, with so much wind, that the rain is horizontal over my window!

4:17 am

jmbdobie2

awesome... but frightening too

4:17 am

sprite

a little bit. But we are used to lots of rain here. Our country is build around it.

4:19 am

jmbdobie2

i am in michigan... we say here that if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change

4:20 am

sprite

hahaha! Sounds good. It is pretty random here as well. Lots of rain of course and lots of wind. But also very hot and sunny days. Snow and ice in winter. Crazy weather more often than not :)

4:21 am

sprite

lol... ontario is in the grid. Not valid of course.

4:22 am

jmbdobie2

48 left - i think i will try to sleep again. good night sprite

4:22 am

sprite

sleep well, dobie. Gentle dreams and a quick falling asleep to you.

redturtlehead

font

4:26 am

sprite

good one, red. Even better in the other window, grin.

4:26 am

redturtlehead

sigh, good morning babblers, I was lurking.

4:27 am

redturtlehead

sorry, but at least it was not a big reveal...

4:27 am

sprite

*giggle* Would never have guessed!
Hiya red *hug*

4:28 am

redturtlehead

Hi! i do a lot of early morning lurking. I am about to go out running, so I hate to get involved in chat and just poof.

4:28 am

sprite

yeah I can imagine. I so admire you for running. I wish I could.

4:29 am

redturtlehead

I can just barely right now, so its not too much to admire. Plus I am hoping for some moon, I am afraid of the chupacabra...

4:29 am

sprite

*orders moon for red*

4:36 am

redturtlehead

thanks I think we have none though, Going to wait for a few more mins...

4:36 am

sprite

*blows really hard to separate clouds*

4:39 am

redturtlehead

I think we actually just have no moon right now sprite?

4:39 am

sprite

argh - in that case there is not much I can do ;)

4:39 am

redturtlehead

But its ok, I need to get out there in about 3 minutes, so I can drive out there.

4:39 am

sprite

let me check

4:40 am

redturtlehead

The worst part is that i know there are some people I dislike a lot planning to run the same ar4. this morning, so I am trying to avoid.

4:40 am

sprite

full moon on 31 aug... 2 days past first quarter now.

4:41 am

redturtlehead

thats why its so dark, the chupacabra is roaming too...or at least it was last weekend.

4:41 am

sprite

maybe you can run the ot5 way around. If you meet them then, they will be past you before you know it. Must be tough to run in ar4s where you don't feel relaxed and safe :(

4:41 am

sprite

at least you are not a goat!

4:42 am

redturtlehead

It is safe, but I think its always smarter to run when there is some light... and I will just have to run by them. They are silly women, and just run for medals- so they don't train...

4:42 am

redturtlehead

and yes, I am not a goat which helps immensly.

4:44 am

sprite

those women are definitely goatier than you. I think you are safe from the chupacabra.

4:44 am

redturtlehead

Ha ha!

4:45 am

redturtlehead

well, I am at half way here, so must go see you all soon. Have a good day aSprite, nice to see you!

4:46 am

sprite

have a grand run, red!

andrew in drag

Lizlin

5:39 am

6:20 am

carleekat

hi rolin...looks like you are having a great trip!

6:21 am

rolin

i really am...i just commented to my partner...we are going to have a hard time coping with the noise of city life when we get back

6:21 am

carleekat

yea... i know that feeling... doesnt take long

6:22 am

rolin

yeah... thats the sad reality

6:22 am

carleekat

3 weeks at a cottage, no phone no tv ,,,only a radio...and the only way to a neigbour is by boat... then....once an hour from there you are in toronto traffic..abit jarring to the senses

6:24 am

rolin

well there are thee people in this room ...we are all on laptops or ipad... playing babble and bridge.... after a day of the most gorgeous beach and mangrove walks

6:24 am

carleekat

yea...we didnt even HAVE internet back then...didnt exist...so...only connection tot he world was radio..no newspapers.nothing... you were ina bubble

6:25 am

carleekat

the walks sound lovely....just waking up here..heading to the Detroit Zoo today...

6:25 am

rolin

h mmmm.... 'didnt have internet'..... i find that hard to process...

6:26 am

carleekat

i know.. was about 20 years ago....i used to suer at a family friend's cottage up north...until I was about 22

6:26 am

carleekat

summer*

6:26 am

carleekat

my M is glitchy on my netbook

6:27 am

rolin

oh i know we all had lives before the internet.... i just have difficulty perceiving such an existane now...lol

6:28 am

carleekat

i remember it....simpler time...sometimes I wish we could go back to a time before all this technology

6:28 am

rolin

oh no... it cuases stress...speeds our life up... but id never be without it...

6:30 am

carleekat

as long as I had my cell phone for emergencies..mind up there....we never did

6:32 am

carleekat

and one of the cottages always had a dr...we had snake antivenom at a cottage all the time ( was kept AT a certain cottage for june, another for july and a 3rd for august..everyone knew where)

6:33 am

rolin

a sense of community...and now its an online community

6:34 am

carleekat

well..they have phones now... so I presume internet..but will be dial up unless you have a rocket

6:35 am

rolin

i have a really good deal here...an aussie sim... that keeps me connected...but which i can use to tether my laptop and hotspot my partner's phone too

6:37 am

carleekat

nice..that is handy...

6:38 am

carleekat

i am not even sure if cell phones work up there...whether there are towers....is just a bunch of islands

6:38 am

carleekat

and no one lives up there... is a summer place

6:38 am

rolin

sounds lovely..where?

6:39 am

carleekat

is in georgian bay..not too terribly far from crossy..north of him...he in a city that on the bay...I was on an island in the bay

6:40 am

carleekat

gerogian bay is the size of a lake... if you look at a map it is on the northern part of lake huron

6:41 am

carleekat

i live on the southern most shore of lake huron on the cdn side

6:41 am

rolin

i did look on google maps...it looks remote

6:42 am

carleekat

but to drive up to crossy's is aout 4 hours for me...to drive around the lake...not including border crossings to the states and back would take about 24 hours

6:43 am

rolin

24 hours???

6:43 am

ty carlee, you too

6:48 am

rubyfoo

we finally have lovely weather here, at least for the next two days

6:49 am

MollyL

Never fear Ruby, you are not alone. : )

6:49 am

rubyfoo

hello molly -- in weather or in life?

6:50 am

MollyL

In the chat : D

6:50 am

lbdawger

gm, ruby and molly

6:50 am

rubyfoo

am I the only crank, or do you object when a 10-yr-old dominates the entire conversation when the parents don't even know each other that well?

6:50 am

rubyfoo

hi ibd

6:51 am

lbdawger

i'd be a bit put out if any kid tried to take over the conversation.

6:52 am

hurshy

depends if the kid is interesting

6:52 am

hurshy

most aren't.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

who knew? he kept correcting his mother and saying things like "I am very interested in details!"

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I felt like giving him a smack (or standing on his instep)

6:54 am

lbdawger

i think the kid needed attention and didn't know how to get it in any other way. my g-son is doing that, but he's just annoying and is told firmly to chill.

6:55 am

andrew in drag

I suppose it is better than the child fussing and complaining whenever the parents stop to chat, though.

6:55 am

hurshy

yeah it really depends how the parents react - if they seem like they are finding it adorable, run for the hills.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

maybe I'm not being fa**

6:55 am

MollyL

That is good LBD, because attention mongering children grow up to be attention mongering adults.

6:57 am

lbdawger

altho last night i got into his face. long day at work, and then having him being a nosy body at dinner, interrupting and overall being rude. I just literally got in his face and repeated myself over and over and over til i got his attention. asked him if he thought that was cute or annoying. He made the right choice and stopped.

6:58 am

hurshy

now, mine ARE just adorable. but then, they are cats.

6:58 am

rubyfoo

sounds good to me, ibd! This kid's mother just stopped talking and let the kid take over

6:58 am

rubyfoo

<-- mine are dogs and they NEVER interrupt

6:58 am

lbdawger

my grand-dog is wonderful!

6:59 am

hurshy

did she seem like maybe inwardly fuming and just likes to do her disciplining in private?

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I think she doesn't discipline

6:59 am

hurshy

yikes

6:59 am

MollyL

Ruby, I find it sad when parents don't know how to discipline.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

her husband seems to be in control; she's his 2nd wife' he has 3 grown daughters and grandchildren

7:00 am

rubyfoo

they wind up raising awful adults!

7:00 am

lbdawger

ugh, hate those spare the rod types. sometimes a kids just needs a good thump!

7:00 am

rubyfoo

I just met them; they live in the village part of the time

7:00 am

lbdawger

is it her biological child?

7:01 am

rubyfoo

and when the kid was here the first time hs said "I'd really like to come here for a meal, lunch or dinner would be fine"

7:01 am

MollyL

<---Cheers for LBD's opinion

7:01 am

rubyfoo

yes, and she is much younger than the husband

7:01 am

hurshy

are they foreign? i thought french parents were supposed to be so good at discipline

7:02 am

MollyL

Most kids are not taught manners these days.

7:02 am

rubyfoo

she's French; he's English -- very posh

7:02 am

andrew in drag

I think there is too much pressure on parents, though. The child must take some accountability also.

7:03 am

MollyL

Nothing posh about having a bratty kid.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

amen!

7:05 am

lbdawger

amen, molly

7:06 am

lbdawger

true, andrew. but they have to be taught that responsibility. not allowed to run roughshod over others.

7:07 am

BabbleRabble

Seems the parents of the parents of the parents must be better parents to the child learns accountability

7:08 am

BabbleRabble

so not to

7:08 am

andrew in drag

Oh yes, I agree with that. It seems so difficult, though. I like looking after children, but if I had my own I'd find it impossible.

Good day to all. I am watching the Weather Channel -- learning about Isaac.

9:00 am

hego

how is Tucker?

9:02 am

Scrabbler

I expressed tons of cheesy material from the abscess last evening--the area is so much smaller. But he is not eating, so when I check on him soon, if he has not eaten I will feed him "Critical Care", a powdered formula to use when rabbits are ill.

9:03 am

hego

poor baby. maybe his mouth hurts.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Yes. Last night I was optimistic that surgery would be unnecessary tomorrow. This morning I am concerned about him not eating. But he is hopping around and was feisty when I pushed the med tablet into his mouth.

9:04 am

hego

hope all will be well.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Yes. I get so anxious when one of my bunnies is not acting right.

9:05 am

Hi Annie and Bobby

9:50 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, Did Tucker eat the parsley and carrots?

9:50 am

andrew in drag

These ch's are horrible.

9:50 am

Anniebrook

Bobby says 'hi'

9:51 am

Anniebrook

hi andrew, they are mostly babblets

9:51 am

andrew in drag

Seems to be the case, Annie. I haven't been here long enough for this!

9:52 am

redturtlehead

you can do it Andrew...how many CH's are there?

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I held Tucker and stuffed parsley into his mouth but then he started gobbling it up. I hope he decides to eat without my help.

9:52 am

redturtlehead

sounds like a good sign Scrabbler...

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Annie, tell Bobby to watch the Little League World Series at 3pm on ABC. I watch these boys every summer and am always impressed with their talent.

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I was happy when he readily chewed food that I placed in his mouth.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

zero

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Not a word but I keep seeing it.

9:54 am

Anniebrook

He watched it yesterday...games between Calif and Tenn...another between Japan and Panama, I believe....terrific kids

9:59 am

Scrabbler

I am having a lunch + Scrabble afternoon with 3 friends, right on Lake Erie, so we will walk on the beach and swim too.

9:59 am

car.eeyore

Gorgeous! Sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon!

9:59 am

Anniebrook

sounds like a fun day, scrabbs

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Yep.

10:02 am

We are going to a Summerfest at one of the churches I sing at today. Magician, music, food, etc.

Scrabbler

Your boys should enjoy that.

10:03 am

car.eeyore

It is at their old preschool, so they have a blast whenever they are there!

10:03 am

Scrabbler

The first video uploaded to YouTube featured co-founder Jawed Karim discussing elephants at the San Diego Zoo.

10:32 am

car.eeyore

I hope it was at least interesting!

10:32 am

car.eeyore

My eye is incredibly itchy...can anyone recommend a good OTC eyedrop?

10:33 am

10:33 am

... are you sure it's not just an allergy where any antihistamine will do? ...

10:33 am

car.eeyore

Actually, that is the worst one!

10:33 am

crosshair

they have a whole line of qualkity eye drops

10:33 am

crosshair

really?

10:33 am

crosshair

i like them

10:33 am

car.eeyore

I just took my Zyrtec...lets see if it quiets down.

10:34 am

car.eeyore

Yes! My ophthalmologists are always telling their patients to STOP using it and just use artificial tears instead. It tends to dry out the eyes more in the long run.

10:34 am

crosshair

lolguess i do not know the seamy underword that are eye drops lol

10:34 am

underworld

10:35 am

MollyL

Aren't all the over the counter eyedrops tetrahydrozoline? More or less.

10:35 am

car.eeyore

When I was a teenager, I mistook my nail polish remover bottle for my eye makeup remover bottle. OUCH!

10:35 am

Shirlockc

omg, car

10:35 am

car.eeyore

That's easy for you to spell Molly!!!! LOL! Pretty much

10:36 am

car.eeyore

It pretty much took effect immediately, so I didn't do as much damage as I could have.

10:36 am

MollyL

Artificial tears are just saline solution.

10:37 am

car.eeyore

Yup. And that is what is best for most itchy or irritated eyes.

10:37 am

MollyL

More proof of the healing powers of salt.

10:38 am

car.eeyore

OK. I am off...I have to make pasta salad and go to Wally World. Any need anything?

i am still digesting the info from yesterday that antibacterial soaps are bad in many ways..eye drops that dry,soap that makes super bugs in the water supply..almost time to hide in the closet eating tofu and bean sprouts with a nice foil hat

10:39 am

car.eeyore

Sometimes the simpler a thing is, the better it really is.

10:40 am

crosshair

indeed

10:42 am

crosshair

got a loaf of store brand bread other day,and there was so much yeast in it that it actually slelled like nail polish remover.seriously considering a bread maker

10:43 am

crosshair

smelled

10:43 am

Shirlockc

crossy, you don't need a bread maker

10:43 am

crosshair

i had to throw it out

10:43 am

Shirlockc

been doing my own bread for months now, easiest recipe ever, no-knead bread

10:43 am

Shirlockc

works just fine

10:44 am

crosshair

i would love that recipie shirloc

10:45 am

crosshair

last time i seriously made bread from scratch was when the mrs was carrying our son still

10:45 am

mael

nice welsh in the grid today

10:45 am

crosshair

indeed

10:45 am

crosshair

cr 5/22

10:46 am

Shirlockc

~ 6 cups of flour, dash of salt, 1 + 1/4 cup of warm water, 1 tbl yeast

10:46 am

crosshair

2 rises?

10:47 am

Shirlockc

mix all together, dough looks shaggy and wet, let it rise once at RT then you can stick in the frig for > week to season

10:47 am

Shirlockc

let it rise again at RT if you do the frig thing, then bake 350 ~ 50 mins <-- depends on pan or if you shape the bread

10:48 am

Shirlockc

it's adapted from the NYT no-knead bread recipe, if you google, there's lots of variations

10:48 am

crosshair

rt?

10:48 am

MollyL

Room temperature

10:48 am

Shirlockc

you just need to practice a bit to get the "right" consistency; RT = room temp

10:49 am

Shirlockc

bloom the yeast in the water, i use active dry

10:49 am

crosshair

so 1 rise only if you do not fridge for week?

10:49 am

MollyL

How long do you proof the yeast Shirl?

10:50 am

Shirlockc

yep, and it does sour out so the longer in the fridge, the more sour-doughy

10:50 am

crosshair

kk

10:50 am

Shirlockc

i just use warm water and then put in yeast in, nothing special

10:50 am

crosshair

ty shirloc

10:50 am

crosshair

got it mall

10:50 am

crosshair

all

10:51 am

Shirlockc

easy peasy, i no longer buy bread

10:51 am

crosshair

thats for 2 loaves?

10:52 am

Shirlockc

oops, ~4 cups of flour, not 6 and that would be one loaf

10:52 am

crosshair

ok,changing that now

10:52 am

Shirlockc

if you do 6 cups of flour, you need more water

10:53 am

Shirlockc

10:53 am

crosshair

one loaf recipiue is perfect,then i can multiply as needed

10:54 am

crosshair

lol narrow keys,fat fingers

10:54 am

Shirlockc

that's an example and they say do it in a dutch oven, i never do, just plain old loaf pan

10:54 am

crosshair

good i still have my 2 plain old load pans:)

10:54 am

crosshair

loaf

10:55 am

Shirlockc

if you want a crustier bread, make sure your oven is "wet", you can bake with a pan of water

10:55 am

crosshair

yup,i remember that trick

10:55 am

crosshair

or brushing egg white for 'glazed' loaf

10:56 am

Shirlockc

I experimented a few times, a bit more flour, a bit more water, oats etc. etc

10:56 am

crosshair

i do mine italian style,i make a long shallow vertical slit and drizzle butter in it

10:56 am

Shirlockc

i've got it done pretty much to a routine now, it's really the shaggy dough thing, you want it to be on the wet side

10:57 am

Shirlockc

i preset the oven so it bakes in the AM just before i get up :)

10:57 am

crosshair

nice;)

10:58 am

crosshair

lol my oven is one step up from tossing logs in a firebox so no pre-sets for crossy

10:59 am

MollyL

I thought 6 cups of flour was a lot : D

10:59 am

Shirlockc

that was for two loaves :)

10:59 am

MollyL

There is nothing like waking up to the smell of bread baking.

11:00 am

Shirlockc

it's awesome when the bread is steamy hot :)

11:00 am

crosshair

mmmmmmm

11:00 am

11:01 am

crosshair

11:01 am

11:03 am

Crab season is April 1st to December 15th technically (for actual crabbing) but you won't find live crabs around until Memorial Day and not after Labor Day.

MollyL

Sometimes the first three weeks of September, depending on how good the crabs were that particular season.

YAY nan and see you next time!

hey all

12:01 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all---at least (((stid)))

12:02 pm

stidmama

hey jilly -- my connection is dodgy today

12:05 pm

stidmama

down to 33 and I only JUST realized that unlike yesterday's 4 S grid this grid has NO S tile. *sigh* I am not exactly in my observant mode right now.

12:06 pm

Jillyjill

Me either, actually a little daunting as I work towards nbt...guess I'm getting paid back for my comment on the grid a few days ago as being tedious with all the er, est, s and ed

12:08 pm

stidmama

well, there is grid today if needed, which is nice.

12:08 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, looked yesterday and decided NOT to do grid without lickety...

12:15 pm

stidmama

I am so sad, a lumber mill out on the coast was destroyed by fire yesterday/last night. That county relied on the mill so heavily for employment. This is a huge loss.

12:16 pm

Jillyjill

Seems like this year has been full of such hardship everywhere...

12:16 pm

rururocks

not for the trees stid

12:17 pm

stidmama

Yes, ruru -- for the trees as well. This mill used farmed timber, no worse than harvesting corn, just a longer growing season.

12:20 pm

stidmama

well, down to 19 (found 30 since I came back in) back later -- running the kid into town.

12:20 pm

Jillyjill

Well, living in an area that was economically devasted by the decline of the lumbar industry; I have to make the point that there IS such a thing as sustainable forestry....

12:21 pm

Jillyjill

And with that plus nbt and nbs...also off for productive work...

12:33 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

12:36 pm

Deutsch

nbt? nbs?

12:37 pm

jesdraggon

no blank tiles, deutsch, means she's got a word from each starting letter in the grid

12:38 pm

jesdraggon

nbs = no blank stats, means she has a word of each length.

12:39 pm

Deutsch

ahhh, thank you, jes. I've been away too long.

and you? Love your kitty. Wish I could help. I have two rescues of my own.

12:42 pm

jesdraggon

going pretty well. just heard that a dog i've been really worried about and working on for over a week is feeling better this morning, so that's good

12:43 pm

jesdraggon

i wish i could find him a home... not sure how long it's even nice to him to keep him kenneled, since i can't see him living indefinitely at the clinic.

12:45 pm

Deutsch

Glad to hear dog is better. Hope someone realizes a dog is missing from his or her life.

12:45 pm

jesdraggon

no, the dog has a home, sorry, i switched topics with statements - the cat is who needs a home

12:46 pm

jesdraggon

the dog is a patient we've been working on, who is in liver failure of unknown cause :(

12:48 pm

Deutsch

Glad the dog is taking a better turn to recovery. Now for the cat -- everyone should have a cat. Hope the little one finds a caring home.

12:51 pm

jesdraggon

me too. she's such a sweet dog, everybody at the clinic loves her. The trouble I'm running into with the cat is that everybody who'd be willng to take on a diabetic already has cats, and he doesn't get along well with other cats.

12:53 pm

Deutsch

That's a toughie. The cat needs a seasoned owner, but seasoned owners usually have at least one cat already. Hmmm. A real puzzler.

To take in a seam

Nope. To warn someone.

1:03 pm

jesdraggon

indeed. so far, no takers. And he's stubborn... I had him at my place for a month and he would not give up on hating the other cats, nor would he just find an area of the house to avoid the other cats.

He didn't follow directions to partially drain the tank, refill with hose water (we are on a well, the water is safe). He drained it completely and filled it with hot tap water.

The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him? ~Chuang Tzu

friends who are south of I-10 are welcome to my hill, LOL (of course they know that already)

5:35 pm

amelu0218

we're only a couple of miles from the Pascagoula rivers but far enough for it not to impact us...

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

I am learning not to get too excited about the prediction until it tightens up. Initially they said ti would hit us directly...

5:36 pm

amelu0218

s'all good on our projected front.

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

I hope it does not give a problem for New orleans again...

5:36 pm

amelu0218

I know! I kept shaking my head at the W/C saying "really? like you have a clue this far out?" LOL!

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

I got reather excited, initially it looked like a little cat one that owuld run over us quickly....and NOW.

5:38 pm

amelu0218

Shouldn't. I guess I should look again at the w/c before I say that but last I saw they said it'd be cat 2 tops... *shrug* still gotta work tomorrow.

5:39 pm

amelu0218

I just can't keep that on 24/7 for 5 days if there's a threat out there...

5:39 pm

harpjane

Rush Limbaugh actually said that the National Weather Service is "Obama's Government Agency" and predicted it would hit Florida in order to disrupt the Republicans

5:40 pm

amelu0218

LOL!

5:40 pm

Go SMom Go!!!

6:22 pm

MollyL

Cos, question. Why is Colorado always a swing State?

6:22 pm

cosdem

western slope and el paso very republican

6:22 pm

cosdem

denver and others democratic.. both equal in numbers

6:23 pm

cosdem

and western slope has large mormon region.. being so close to utah

6:23 pm

MollyL

Must be the same answer for Nevada. Which also seems to always be a swing State. Ah well, it makes things interesting.

6:24 pm

cosdem

without reno and las vegas nevada would be solid red

6:24 pm

cosdem

same for illinois and chicago. kinda interesting

6:25 pm

MollyL

Well, with Obama running, Illinois isn't a swinger this time around.

6:25 pm

josiecat

Hi, everyone. don't mean to sound stupid, but I am new to this. does no8,65 mean that the word is an 8 loetter word with 65 points?

6:26 pm

MollyL

Hi Josie. Welcome. Yes, that's right.

6:26 pm

MollyL

And it doesn't sound stupid at all. It takes a while to figure things out here.

6:26 pm

josiecat

Thank you, Molly. another stupid question...how can it be worth 65 points?

6:27 pm

MollyL

I think you add up the total points and multiply it by three for an eight letter word.

6:27 pm

josiecat

Ahhhhhh! Thank you so much!!

6:28 pm

MollyL

Nope, times 5. See the HELP section for points value.

6:28 pm

cosdem

4 x 1, 5 x 2, 6 x 3, 7 x 4, 8 x 5 i thought? or am i wrong?

westford

7:37 pm

wht

Don't need to apologize to me.

The Last F Word. Sounds like a song from Woodstock.

7:38 pm

westford

ah yes 1969 was a very good year

7:38 pm

MollyL

It was a joke Wht. Ru and I got lectured the other day.

7:41 pm

MollyL

: D

7:42 pm

rururocks

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

Hi girlie!

7:44 pm

westford

and jilly

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

Okay Molly and Ru...need more details on your lecture...LOL

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

Hi west

7:45 pm

wht

Of course the only wine I was drinking in 69 was Boone's Farm.

7:45 pm

MollyL

Jilly, suffice it to say that someone who lectures "if you don't like what's in chat, turn it off" should take their own advice. Not bash other posters.

7:47 pm

Jillyjill

Ouch....glad I missed that one!

7:47 pm

MollyL

It's a wonder we are not all walking formaldehyde factories due to Boone's Farm consumption.

7:47 pm

rururocks

march 69 was good for boone's farm wht

7:47 pm

Jillyjill

Mine was Annie Green Springs....*shudders*

7:48 pm

rururocks

annie green springs sounds like a dr seuss book

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

I think I puked up something like green eggs...

7:48 pm

westford

I don't like beer and didn't start drinking wine until a few years ago..just give me Jack and water

7:49 pm

Jillyjill

Give me a G&T any day!

7:49 pm

westford

and a good Manhattan

7:49 pm

MollyL

*Pours a Jack and water for West*

7:49 pm

rururocks

I can't drink manhattans

7:49 pm

westford

much obliged

7:51 pm

MollyL

Manhattans are usually made with Rye, which I find icky.

7:51 pm

MollyL

And I don't like bitters or vermouth either, so it's not my drink of choice.

7:52 pm

rururocks

my parents used to drink manhattans by the pitcher.. I can't touch them

7:53 pm

MollyL

I know someone who has the same problem with Port wine, for the same reason.

7:54 pm

MollyL

And I quote..."when you find an empty of Port hidden in your toy box, it kind of puts you off the stuff."

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Not a great childhood memory...so sad...

7:55 pm

rururocks

I quote: "when mommy and daddy drink a whole pitcher of manhattans... we're not having dinner tonight:

7:55 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry ruru..

7:56 pm

rururocks

it's fine now jilly.. i'm past it.. it's just a memory

7:57 pm

MollyL

It's the echoes of that stuff that get you sometimes, if you let them.

7:59 pm

wht

I often wonder if the people who spout off about family values have ever looked at actual families.

8:00 pm

MollyL

I doubt some of them do, Wht. Speaking of which, I just read that Sanders is engaged to his Argentinian mistress.

8:00 pm

MollyL

Oops, Sanford.

8:01 pm

wht

Making an honest woman of her, is he.

8:02 pm

wht

Or did he just want to go hiking again.

8:02 pm

MollyL

That was such a spin debacle. He's missing...no wait...he's hiking the Appalachian trail...no wait...he's in Argentina with his girlfriend.

8:02 pm

rururocks

that's the first thing I think of when I see a picture of her.. going for a nice hike

8:02 pm

Jillyjill

Well, hubby coming home tomorrow, gotta pick up the house....y'all hagn!

8:19 pm

MollyL

Last cr5 is a Welsh word. No vowels.

8:19 pm

8:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

8:44 pm

MollyL

Oh good lord. *Mental note: Use AIRplane next time.

Oh Harp, you sarcastic woman you. : D

8:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so you will never see the result of your joke on the faces of your victims! (unless there's a camera phone handy)

8:46 pm

harpjane

Actually it was a bunch of bike mechanics who reportedly thought it was hysterical

8:46 pm

MollyL

These days, there is always a camera phone ready. Ask Prince William.

8:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

EX-cellent!

8:46 pm

harpjane

If I'd thought of it earlier I would have put a little Barbie Doll bikini on it.

8:46 pm

MollyL

I mean Prince Harry.

8:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(i am ignoring the prince harry story. puh-lease)

8:47 pm

Actually I'm pretty sure Prince William knows what a camera phone is, too!

they were kind of boobs huh molly

8:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, we all have bumbling security peeps. but i didn't say that!

8:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ten blue boobies on a roundabout . . .

8:50 pm

MollyL

It gives me an even deeper appreciation of our Secret Service.

8:54 pm

rururocks

yeah.. they have better experience with hookers

8:55 pm

MollyL

That may well be, but we don't get the kind of pictures in the paper that we just saw of The Royal Boy.

8:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, dear, i wan't gonna mention that, LOL

8:55 pm

8:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

just to point out, prince harry was *in* a hotel room, and the secret service was *in* a country (or city?) where prositution was perfectly legal. so there

8:58 pm

cosdem

not country ... city yeah

8:58 pm

MollyL

Okey dokey. Then bring on the naked pictures of The Royal Boy. It's all good.

8:59 pm

hokie carla

wh-wh-what? did I miss something good?

8:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i hope if i'm ever naked in my own house (or my own hotel room) it's not a big scandal -- then again . . .

9:00 pm

cosdem

the only reason its scandal is he;s royalty

9:00 pm

MollyL

Seriously? An average person compared to a member of the royal family?

9:01 pm

suefrad625

hi6, not getting it, another clue pls

9:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

pretty tame if you remove the royal family from the pic, yes?

9:01 pm

9:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

az5, rhymes with little butterfly-like bug

9:04 pm

rururocks

well BDG.. it's not becoming of a royal heir to act out like this

9:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no8, verb, to have a document signed by a an official who attests your signature

9:04 pm

rururocks

at least he didn't have a na4 tattoo on his ass

9:05 pm

cosdem

ah thanks.. forgot the alt spelling

9:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i didn't say it was "becoming" -- it's not. but is it a big deal for anyone but him? (and his immediate family and friends) nope.

9:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

now, our former president started two illegal wars and killed countless thousands of innocent people. compared to, oh my god, prince harry was naked in his own hotel room

9:07 pm

Okay, I see where this is going. I'm done.

BabbleRabble

Resistentialism -- ''seemingly spiteful behavior manifested by inanimate objects.''

9:40 pm

BabbleRabble

For example, objects that cause problems (like lost keys or a fleeing bouncy ball) exhibit a high degree of malice toward humans and lend support to resistentialist beliefs.

9:41 pm
