12:58 am

VolleymomDee

Almost had a glass catastrophe here; bought a huge, heavy vase at Pier 1 for the glass table in the nook... picked it up to move it for dinner and the base of the vase literally broke off; hit the glass table, but neither shattered... my guardian angel was watching out for me that night.

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

I bet.... expensive lights, too.

1:34 am

grannyrose

ummm, that is ma8

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

it's been a tough week here... 47 year old died... she dated my nephew in high school... remember that as if it were yesterday... stupid cancer

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

lol dart

1:34 am

dart001

what kind of cancer?

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

breast cancer... had it beaten for 5 years and then it came back fast and furious

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

super healthy, beautiful woman until that hit...

1:36 am

grannyrose

oh, dee, so sorry, hun. was she close to you? or is it the feeling of your own mortality? i know nowadays i feel the death of someone close to my age, very personally.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

another dear friend dxd with mesothelioma... has never been around asbestos (that they can discern)... came out of nowhere

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

both granny; she was very close to being my niece... really can't remember why they broke up

1:36 am

dart001

so sad...I has a girlfriend I had dated and almost married...we broke up and she eventually married someone else...had a baby and then died of the same thing at 31......I found out about it when someone said they saw the notice in the paper

1:37 am

grannyrose

dee, tears pouring down my face...that is what happened to my darling robyn. the cancer even invaded her heart.

1:37 am

grannyrose

the same age, even.

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

hate it ... it has to come from all the chemicals in our foods and meats... getting way too prevalent in all ages

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

sounds similar rose... had gone into her brain just a month ago... and other vital organs... cannot believe how fast it metastasized

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

31 is hideous dart ... how old was the baby?

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

told my hubby I am not reading the newspaper or answering the phone for at least a week

1:39 am

dart001

baby was less than a year old....never will remember her mom except in pictures

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

heartbreaking

1:40 am

grannyrose

i know, dee. robyn's death was too fast for any of us, within her circle.

1:40 am

taylorfan2012

My mom passed of breast cancer that metastisized to her spine and brain she fought for just over three years before giving up the fight.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

I cannot believe we haven't found a cure, particularly since it is striking all ages and even both sexes these days

1:41 am

grannyrose

taylor, that is too sad, hun. my heart goes out to you.

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry for your loss, taylor

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

have my checkup in the next few weeks and really dreading it

1:42 am

taylorfan2012

ty both. It has been almost 8 years, but feel like only yesterday. I miss her so much and wish she could be here to see my twins.

1:42 am

grannyrose

dee, you are so right. the number of young males( and i mean 20-somethings) who come through for surgery for cancer....and the old chooks like me are left behind to grieve for the loss of them.

1:42 am

dart001

girl should be about 15 by now

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

I totally understand that, taylor; my mom died in 90 of colon cancer

1:43 am

rururocks

i never kept track of my old girlfriends

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

wonder if her dad remarried, dart

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

none of them, ru?

1:44 am

grannyrose

taylor, believe, hun. she is with you everyday, watching over you and your children.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

so true, granny

1:44 am

rururocks

nope.. not really dee

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

I still want to pick up the phone and call her... odd void.

1:45 am

dart001

not sure...someone showed me the notice and asked if was her....i went to see her parents to see how they were doing...had a nice chat and they were caring for the baby while he worked...haven't seen them since...and now we are in diff states

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

I am curious about a couple of mine; the others could be on mars LOL

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

really tough situation

1:46 am

rururocks

why didn't you marry her dart?

1:46 am

grannyrose

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

1:46 am

dart001

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

big difference in life choices... makes sense

1:47 am

grannyrose

the other AM, at 6:15, when i had just got up, was feeling pretty ordinary, as you can imagine. Don walked through, kissed me good-morning, and went off saying ' i feel like a frog'

1:48 am

dart001

I already had a job forecasting weather...she was just getting out of school

VolleymomDee

3:34 am

I am already tired and the morning has barely begun

3:35 am

grannyrose

lovely to see you, dearest friend. and how is DH?

3:35 am

oggy

hi ruby

3:35 am

rubyfoo

walking my monster puppy is a huge effort, fun but physically difficult!

3:35 am

Flask1

Hi ruby.....

3:35 am

Flask1

morning oggy!

3:35 am

grannyrose

oggy, that means a long day....and ruby...:(

3:35 am

rubyfoo

Dh is doing all he can to bring down my good spirits so I am just trying to ignore him as much as I can

3:35 am

oggy

hi flask

3:36 am

rubyfoo

he is depressed and constantly looking for slights, sadnesses, regrets, etc.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

Thank God for the puppy and for Ruby's hanging in!

3:36 am

yeah, time for shower before work, see you all 2morrow have fun

hmmm....first thought...is give him one in the.....nah, not appropriate....give him another campari...i don't care what time it is.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

hello hello no no

3:38 am

grannyrose

oh, what good news...ruby is still with us...my darling, hang onto every precious minute.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

she seems energized, walking again, eating well, alert

3:39 am

rubyfoo

she's still breathing pretty hard part of the time, but a month ago, I thought she was a goner

3:40 am

grannyrose

lovely, ruby. you must be on top of the world.

3:41 am

grannyrose

does DH realise how sick she is? or is he incapable of holding onto that thought?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I kept telling him that she was breathing too hard for months and he kept saying "There's nothing wrong" Maybe it's just that he can't hear her

3:42 am

grannyrose

* nodding 8 that's probably true, ruby...he can't hear her.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

but because I give her a one-hour massage every night (figuring it can't do any harm), I am much more intimately involved with her

3:48 am

grannyrose

ruby, you were always intimately involved with ruby. unfortunately, DH will never know the joys of connecting with ruby, either emotionally or physically.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

he talks abut how much he loves both dogs, and I think he does, but doesn't spend the same kind of time I do with them

3:50 am

grannyrose

off to get my own meds ready for tonight and tomorrow AM. and, so sad, ruby. he doesn't know whatheis missing

3:51 am

rubyfoo

he's missed a lot! see you soon sweet Rose. And my house is filled with yellow roses right now and, unusually for these inexpensive ones, they are fragrant

4:41 am

Glantarell

Could I nget a clue for ma8, please?

4:56 am

4:56 am

Glantarell

lummy. hard to clue.

4:56 am

Marc Freeman

sorry

4:57 am

Glantarell

m + 4 vowels + a small involuntary movement of a muscle

4:57 am

Glantarell

the vowels are in alphabetical order, only one missing is o

4:57 am

Glantarell

sorry 2nd and 3rd voels are transposed

5:00 am

Anniebrook

wow, thanks glant, never would have seen that one

5:00 am

Glantarell

somebody clued it earlier, i'd never have got it in a million years

5:01 am

Marc Freeman

Is the last for letters something you scratch

5:01 am

Marc Freeman

i meant four letters

5:02 am

Glantarell

no - last 3 letters are like a small nasty insect

5:02 am

Marc Freeman

maoiitch

5:02 am

Marc Freeman

sorry

5:02 am

Glantarell

or a small movement of your muscle which annoys the heck out of you]

5:03 am

Glantarell

no o in the word either LOL

5:03 am

Marc Freeman

is it a four letter word beginning with it

5:03 am

Glantarell

no - m + 4 vowels + 3 letter word

5:04 am

Glantarell

if you tok last four letters they would remind you of words related to pee

5:04 am

Anniebrook

it is a 3 letter word meaning an involuntary movement

5:04 am

Glantarell

*took

5:09 am

Marc Freeman

3 constanants correct

5:10 am

Anniebrook

M, 4 vowels, involuntary movement ( 3 letters)

5:12 am

Marc Freeman

I know I am driving everyone crazy but are the last three letters *** tac toe?

5:12 am

Anniebrook

Yes

5:15 am

Marc Freeman

5:15 am

Anniebrook

Haz1558

5:19 am

Anniebrook

good morning, Haz, still morning there?

5:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, Annie, yes, just about 11.20 here.

5:20 am

Haz1558

I should be further along with my housework but I've allowed myself to be distracted.

5:20 am

Anniebrook

5 hour differnce, got the ch, thanks

5:21 am

Anniebrook

babble distraction is good, the housework will always be there

5:21 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

5:21 am

Haz1558

I know, but I do like the place to be tidy.

5:22 am

Atalante

You can just imagine all our versions of tidy compared to Haz's :P

5:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ata! Bear in mind that I'm the daughter of a houseproud mother and the wife of the tidiest man alive.

5:23 am

Anniebrook

I am tidy also but I wouldn't want to be in a "tidy" contest with Haz

5:23 am

Atalante

Exactly :) Dust beware!

5:23 am

Anniebrook

good morning, Ata :)

5:24 am

Atalante

I should be working too but I finally remembered at 3am what I've wanted to tell Haz for about a week!

5:24 am

Haz1558

Aha! Waiting in anticipation....

5:25 am

Atalante

it's very boring, really, though. I found a book in a charity shop the other day that I've always wanted to read because it was held up as A Bad Example in the Chalet School books and banned from all dormitories

5:25 am

o-o

Were there tidier men who have passed away?

5:26 am

Anniebrook

hello BR :)

5:26 am

Haz1558

It may be possible, BabbleRabble, but it would be a close run contest.

5:26 am

Atalante

The Constant Nymph by Margaret Kennedy. Read it yesterday, what an amazingly 1920s book. Quite wonderful.

5:26 am

Haz1558

What was the book, Ata?

5:26 am

o-o

Hello, Annie.

5:26 am

Anniebrook

and the name of the book is.......

5:27 am

Haz1558

I must have a look for it. What was the basis of it being disgraceful and a bad example?

5:27 am

Anniebrook

I am going to look for the book.

5:27 am

Haz1558

Ata may just have set us down the road of disgrace. I will have my censor's pen at the ready.

5:28 am

Anniebrook

The title sounds familiar as a film starring Bette Davis.

5:29 am

o-o

Can a beautiful woman be all bad?

5:29 am

Atalante

Oh, its wonderful, you must all read it and howl with laughter at some of the attitudes. Its very racy, Haz, far too much for the chalet school. Love affairs and running away to Munich

5:29 am

Haz1558

Oh, Munich. Well, there you have it.

5:29 am

Atalante

but set in Switzerland very close to where the CS was meant to be at the time

5:29 am

Haz1558

Or was it Berlin that was beyond the pale?

5:30 am

Atalante

there is pregnancy and opera and libertudinous attitudes and passionate kisses on the hand and willful young men determined to take innocent girls off to depraved places (MUnich again)

5:30 am

Atalante

I think it was made into a few films over the years

5:31 am

Anniebrook

It sounds as if it has shades of Henry James.

5:31 am

Haz1558

I've obviously led a sheltered life, I'd never heard of it.

5:31 am

Atalante

the opening page is wonderful, all about how is was generally accepted that no-one of any wisdom or gentility could ever come from Hammersmith

5:32 am

Anniebrook

and Hammersmith is where or what?

5:32 am

Haz1558

It's like Augustus Carp, whose father never allows their home to be pronounced in French fashion lest they be corrupted (Chez Nous)

5:33 am

Haz1558

Hammersmith is a district of London.

5:33 am

Atalante

I've only ever heard of it through that one horrified reference by ELinor Brent-Dyer. You must must read it.

5:33 am

Anniebrook

I must get it.

5:34 am

Haz1558

Poor Elinor. Maybe it was reading the book that caused that teacher's hair to go white overnight.

5:34 am

Atalante

Its actually a very good book, anyway, but now with the extra layer of seeing the attitudes and thoughts of that time. One poor (and annoying) child is refrred to as "it" half the time because none of her siblings liked her

5:35 am

Haz1558

Annie, we should explain the Chalet School book references. Written by Elinor M Brent-Dyer, a series of books about the adventures of girls at a boarding school in Switzerland. She copied and pasted descriptions from one book to the next.

5:35 am

Haz1558

Okay, no copy and paste in her day but the characters were always described in the same way. One girl had the purity of voice of a choirboy.

5:35 am

Atalante

and the girls were all very jolly hockeysticks and didn't look at men until they very nicely got married to the local doctor

5:36 am

Atalante

and jolly plucky

5:36 am

Anniebrook

I love it!

5:36 am

Haz1558

And one teacher 'Bill' (I think) had the distinction of having her hair go white overnight because of a lucky escape from the Nazis. I declare it was more likely the reading of that book that did it.

5:36 am

MollyL

Word of the day from Ata...libertudinous. Love it.
: )

5:37 am

Atalante

EBD wasn't the greatest writer, but her books were wonderful in childhood. If rather simialr from book 1to book 57

5:37 am

Haz1558

The school library had lots of the books but I don't think I ever got to read them in order.

5:37 am

Atalante

is it even a word? it sounded like it should be!

5:37 am

crosshair

term of the day from ata "jolly hockeysticks"

5:37 am

Haz1558

No, it's a new word.

5:38 am

Haz1558

But it should be a word, it sounds good.

5:38 am

Anniebrook

I now declare it is a word.

5:38 am

Atalante

isn't it interesting that one can make up words and other people get what they mean even though they aren't words. people are clever

5:39 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. If my husband can create new words and terms, so can Ata.

5:40 am

Atalante

but I could never be as brilliant at it as Mr Haz!

5:40 am

Haz1558

He gets names mixed up so he christened the George Foreman Grill either 'The Greg Norman' or the 'George Formby'.

5:40 am

Atalante

he is the master of that!

5:40 am

Haz1558

Mr Haz - equivalate = approximate to or be equivalant to.

5:40 am

Atalante

I like that one

5:41 am

o-o

neologism

5:41 am

crosshair

approxamatizationalism= the art of equivilating

5:41 am

Haz1558

He wondered why the man who wanted assisted euthanasia didn't go to that Adidas place in Switzerland. (Dignitas)

5:42 am

Atalante

a friend once told me about a big bombing in the news in Belgravia. He meant Belgrade

5:43 am

Haz1558

One of the funniest I've heard recently was a friend whose boss got words terribly mixed up. He once declared that the world was his lobster.

5:43 am

Atalante

LOL!!

5:43 am

Haz1558

And couldn't understand why people fell about laughing.

5:44 am

Anniebrook

LOL

5:44 am

Atalante

have you had any mad clients recently?

5:44 am

Haz1558

Yes! I told you about the woman who kept ringing the wrong number and leaving messages for the vets?

5:45 am

Atalante

yes!

5:45 am

Haz1558

She was absolutely furious that the vets didn't ring her back and gave off that she could only get through to an answering machine. We have no answering machine....

5:46 am

Haz1558

It was hilarious because the people who kept getting the messages put the call on youtube.

5:46 am

MollyL

Oh I'm so glad I turned chat on this morning. "The world is my lobster." : D

5:46 am

Anniebrook

I must be off. It was so very nice "listening" to you both. It made me think of FM.

5:46 am

Atalante

I hope she didnt see the youtube!

5:47 am

Haz1558

The emergency seemed to be that her chihuahua had bitten her and she wanted the vets to come and tell her what to do. This was after midnight... I'm so pleased we didn't get the call because I'm not sure just how tactful I could have been.

5:47 am

Haz1558

Bye, Annie, nice to see you again.

5:47 am

Atalante

we miss her :(

5:47 am

Haz1558

We do - every day.

5:47 am

Atalante

I would have told her to get a proper dog

5:48 am

Haz1558

The other interesting thing was a frog having an x-ray.

5:49 am

Atalante

really?! a pet frog??

5:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, a pet frog. It was bendier than it should have been - calcium deficiency.

5:50 am

Atalante

a bendy pet frog ... I love your life

5:50 am

Haz1558

Never a dull moment, you just never know what you're going to hear when you pick up the phone.

5:51 am

Atalante

was it a normal frog or one of those huge bulbous bullfrog things?

5:51 am

Haz1558

PHone - who knows what this will be?

5:55 am

o-o

Atalante, is your work to make the world a better place over for the moment?

5:56 am

Atalante

no, I'm just having a few weeks off to deal with real life angst and trauma. Which is rather relaxing!

5:56 am

Atalante

I'm officially due 3 months leave, so I thought I'd take a few weeks worth!

5:57 am

o-o

Well, if your work is that stressful, taking a break is a wonderful decision.

5:58 am

Atalante

and babble seemed back to being "normal" compared to a year or so ....

5:58 am

Atalante

normal ina relative sense of course!

5:59 am

o-o

There are constant cultural changes here with the new arrivals and drop-offs of some of the veterans.

6:01 am

Atalante

which is good. but chat did go a bit mad for a while with certain people and certain attitudes!

6:03 am

o-o

I know of what you speak .... I had an interesting go around with the "comic."

6:04 am

Atalante

yes .... I just couldn't deal with all that. This is meant to be fun.

6:05 am

Atalante

but luckily, as you said, there is constant revolution of people and ideas and it seems a lot more back to calmer and nice now

6:06 am

Atalante

though I like not this grid

6:07 am

o-o

I pretty much go word to word until there are no more .... yes there are some difficult finds in this one

6:08 am

Atalante

a 9 letter does seem rather improbable

6:08 am

o-o

I am the tortoise

6:09 am

rubyfoo

oh my! ata! I haven't seen you in what seems like years!

6:09 am

Atalante

hi ruby!

6:09 am

o-o

I could clue if you wish

6:09 am

Haz1558

And I'm back - no pet talk, just a friend for a chat.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I ama the walrus

6:09 am

MollyL

Coo-coo-cachoo Ruby. : )

6:11 am

Atalante

what sort of frog was it? I am intrigued!

6:11 am

Haz1558

It was an American bull frog, I think.

6:11 am

Atalante

oh, yes, one of those bulbous things. ugh!

6:11 am

Haz1558

Husband got the task of taking it back to the branch surgery after it had woken up from the sedation. He was quite tickled when it puffed itself up in defence.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

we had huge poisonous dinner-plate-size frogs in Miami. They could kill a dog, just by being bitten

6:12 am

Atalante

it must be quite a specialise task to sedate a frog? cold blooded vs normal etc

6:12 am

Haz1558

They probably had a textbook to follow.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

they were fasciniating to see, but it was always a problem keeping my pups from investigating

6:13 am

Haz1558

If they haven't done an operation before or if it's quite complicated, they'll bring a textbook into the theatre to follow the pictures.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I love the idea of a pet frog/toad

6:14 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves reptiles

6:14 am

Atalante

call me a worried pet owner, but I always like the idea of a vet knowing what he's doing rather than following a textbook :)

6:14 am

Haz1558

Step one. Sedate the frog. Step two. Spreadeagle the frog. Step three, x-ray the frog. Step four, pray while attempting to waken the frog.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

I've had vets here take notes when I've asked for Prozac with my poor Max (RIP)

6:15 am

Haz1558

Oh, it's really only if it's a very complicate orthopaedic operation and it's just for back-up rather than trying to fly blind.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

vets here never heard of an autistic dog

6:15 am

o-o

I had never heard of a cow frog: http://tinyurl.com/9tkbxum

6:16 am

Atalante

You need a set of little badges showing what people have experience in. Mr Haz can have a new one sayign "frog!"

6:16 am

Haz1558

(This is me trying to restore Ata's faith in the veterinary profession)

6:16 am

rubyfoo

ata: does your neighbor still have that gorgeous chow?

6:17 am

rubyfoo

since I last "saw" you, we've lost our beloved Max but have a magnificent puppy, Ruffino, 9 months old on the 13th

6:17 am

Atalante

friend, not neighbour, but yes she certainly does :D

6:17 am

rubyfoo

and he's related to all our others

6:17 am

Atalante

what a splendid name! what colour?

6:17 am

rubyfoo

we are lucky to have found him to fill the space in our hearts

6:18 am

rubyfoo

he was supposed to be red, but he's shaded blonde and quite light with a white tail.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

But neighbors think he's Ruby's son, lol

6:19 am

Atalante

how lovely!

6:19 am

rubyfoo

he's enormous (more than 50 lbs at less than 9 mos, and smart, affectionate and athletic

6:19 am

rubyfoo

and he's given old Ruby a new lease on life, DH, too

6:21 am

Atalante

awwww :)

6:22 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine having only one dog as these are so fragile

6:23 am

Atalante

they never look very fragile!

6:25 am

Haz1558

They're chihuahua sized under all that fur.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

they don't look fragile, but in order to have these sweet lovely ones, I think they've been bred too much. However, they are the sweetest, lovelist dogs of all. Ruby weighs about 75 lbs and Rufie is on the way....

6:26 am

rubyfoo

no fat, though

6:27 am

rubyfoo

and the puppy has paws twice the size of Ruby's

6:27 am

rubyfoo

he's a moose

6:28 am

Atalante

awwwwwwwww

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I am very fortunate to have found these wonderful dogs

6:30 am

Atalante

you need a spaniel :)

6:30 am

rubyfoo

haha, only if it has bacl gums and a purple tongue! Husband had a spaniel when he was a kid

6:30 am

Haz1558

Not that we're biased or anything.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

that was black*

6:31 am

Atalante

of course not

6:32 am

Haz1558

How are your babbling skills, Ata, have they been diminished at all?

6:33 am

Atalante

not doing very well today!

6:34 am

rubyfoo

ata: if I can find your e-mail address, I'll send photo of Ruffino

6:34 am

he is perfect, or, as the vet says, "magnifique"

6:34 am

Not really, Ata, certainly not in terms of hunting/working dogs. We've encountered some that are a bit skittish/nervous.

6:36 am

6:37 am

godthaab

How do you relate to Hecate?

6:37 am

Atalante

my only other possibility apart from a working cocker. I like spaniels between cocker and springer size. I suppose even a Welshie would fit that category though

6:37 am

rubyfoo

hello carla and my atittude is definately phantom

6:37 am

hokie carla

Hi. PS - I knew the Hecate thing from Buffy. :-)

6:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, Welshies are definitely in the field category.

6:38 am

I don't know where I knew it from

6:38 am

6:44 am

Yes, she was very pe6. And not even French.

6:44 am

6:45 am

Haz1558

It could have been a phantom.

6:46 am

Atalante

very nearly, yes

6:46 am

Haz1558

Would she have had a needlecase or would she have relied on others to fix her hems?

6:46 am

6:48 am

lovely clue, science, ty

6:48 am

For the 9, think of the Sermon on the Mount.

6:48 am

bottom o = oh 4

og4 = old runic writing system

6:51 am

sciencegeek

the 8?

6:51 am

Haz1558

ma8

6:52 am

Haz1558

ma8 has the same structure as a word meaning 'grand' displaying majesty. Now replace the j with a vowel and the s for another vowel.

6:52 am

sciencegeek

ok dont see it at all

6:53 am

Haz1558

Or, ma plus three vowels not in order, finish with an involuntary movement (three letters)

6:53 am

sciencegeek

lost

6:54 am

sciencegeek

got it ty

6:54 am

bichon

ty Haz, what a word

6:54 am

Atalante

what the heck does that mean?!

6:54 am

Haz1558

Well done! Not an easy word to clue, I'm afraid.

6:55 am

Haz1558

It means you elicit information like Socrates.

6:55 am

Atalante

of or pertaining to the method used by Socrates of eliciting knowledge in the mind of a person by interrogation and insistence on close and logical reasoning - oh of course!

6:55 am

sciencegeek

well, it would take Socrates to figure that one out!

6:55 am

bichon

Use it in a sentence

6:55 am

o-o

at least it is not waterboarding

6:55 am

Let's be glad we have space in our brains to learn these things.

7:12 am

During a 1956 speech for his campaign of de-Stalinization, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was asked by an unseen audience member why, as an advisor to the dictator, he had never stopped Stalin from committing his atrocities. Khrushchev immediately lashed out, â€œWho said that?â€ The room grew quiet. Khrushchev repeated his query to more silence, waited a beat, and then said, â€œWell, now you understand why.â€

Why have they changed the words in hymns?

10:30 am

how about one nation under no deity?

10:30 am

MollyL

I didn't find The DaVinci Code disturbing. It's just another novel about how the divine feminine has been covered up by the church.

10:31 am

carleekat

the davinci code was absolute literary rubbish...no character development...so many liberties with scripture and history... it was a cheap roller coaster ride...and the movie was even worse

10:32 am

dianedecoder

then I will read it too !! Maybe she felt that way because she read it first !

10:33 am

I'd love to hear what you think, if you read it, Diane.

11:14 am

sprite

11:16 am

Anniebrook

sprite, lovely scent. the skin is browning and soon I will remove, let them cool and then peel them.

11:16 am

sprite

I am so grateful. It went as perfectly as you can only dream about or pray for.

11:16 am

sprite

I love peppers. Such a great smell, makes me hungry.

11:17 am

Anniebrook

*sending yellow, red and green peppers, roasted in the oven and soft..to sprite*

11:18 am

sprite

yummmmmmmmmmmmmy!

11:18 am

Anniebrook

LOL

11:18 am

sprite

fresh pasta, roasted bell peppers with black pepper, and smoked salmon snippits. Wonderful meal. Very gourmet. And easy as pie.

11:19 am

sprite

hey, my language is in the grid :)

11:21 am

Anniebrook

I just copied your gourmet meal. Will make it soon.

11:21 am

the pledge of allegiance was not in the constitution and was adopted in 1942 and the language "under God" was added in 1954 as part of the McCarthy Red Baiting Era.

11:21 am

jmcnrick

just saying . . .

11:21 am

jmcnrick

hi all

11:21 am

sprite

heyyy jmc :) Great to see you, has been some time. Lovely to hear your knowledge too, btw. How've you been?

11:22 am

Anniebrook

hi jmc, very interesting about the Pledge of Allegiance

11:22 am

jmcnrick

i have been okay. . .sometimes down in the dumps trying to get this silly organization rolling as i want it. . . but mostly fine

11:23 am

jmcnrick

i learned that factoid about the pledge when I was doing the conscientious objector stuff. . .

11:23 am

sprite

*hugs jmc* Glad you are mostly fine. If anyone can get it rolling, it's you.

11:24 am

jmcnrick

i keep thinking i have momentum and then. . . "thunk"

11:24 am

sprite

aarrgghh! Square wheels.

11:24 am

jmcnrick

but i must say i have had wonderful support from Babbleland

11:24 am

mixi6

woe be6,27 me, I need you to ed7,40 me with a clue for the ma8,55. LOL

11:24 am

jmcnrick

exactly sprite hahaha!

11:24 am

MollyL

I think most people know it's not part of The Constitution. Didn't know about the McCarthy era stuff though. Interesting.

11:25 am

sprite

babble rocks. Very good community :)

11:25 am

jmcnrick

haha mixi!

11:25 am

sprite

lol mixi

11:26 am

jmcnrick

i think you are right that most people know it is not in the constitution but most people think it is a lot older than it is. . .

11:26 am

sprite

it is probably the same as here... people think they know something and they never realise it isn't true. Takes a lot of proof to convince them.

11:27 am

jmcnrick

ma + sounds like organ of sight + **thenasia, contoversial way to die + sound of clock, ***k tock

11:28 am

sprite

ok, that was one brilliant clue for one crazy word

11:28 am

jmcnrick

terrible word . . . i had to look in the archives for it

11:28 am

jmcnrick

totally stole it from grannyrose

11:28 am

sprite

in case anyone wants to know, it means: "of, pertaining to midwifery"

11:28 am

mixi6

ty jmc, fireworks.

11:29 am

sprite

yayyyy mixi!

11:29 am

jmcnrick

really I thought it had something to do with socrates...

11:29 am

MollyL

What? You don't often discuss Socratic method?
: P

11:29 am

jmcnrick

whooo hoooo mixi!

11:29 am

mixi6

now to watch tennis men's doubles final.

11:29 am

jmcnrick

yw and ty for the two clues in your request mixi

11:29 am

Anniebrook

congrats mixi

11:29 am

sprite

*giggle* Well eh... yes... but never knew this word belonged to that :D

11:30 am

jmcnrick

i have used the socratic method in law school and since with some associates but i rarely discuss it

11:31 am

sprite

we discussed it and used it in the coaching training. But in Du5.

11:31 am

sammysmom

te 5/12 clue please ?

11:31 am

Anniebrook

the ma is a style of questioning (Socrates)

11:31 am

sprite

hi smom

11:32 am

jmcnrick

ah well i used to could say the pretty girl kissed the dog in Du5 but that was the height of my ability

11:32 am

jmcnrick

hi sammy

11:32 am

Anniebrook

sammy, te, double vowels, consonant

11:32 am

sprite

het knappe meisje kuste de hond? Well, I see where that could come in handy... ;)

11:32 am

MollyL

I'll save ma8 for next time I'm in Whole Foods and someone wants to chat amidst the over priced produce. : D

11:33 am

jmcnrick

what can i say i was 10 at the time

11:33 am

sprite

or te + my language is d*t**

11:33 am

sprite

lol

11:33 am

jmcnrick

haha you are having a fine time with the du5 today sprite!

11:34 am

sprite

absolutely :D

11:34 am

Anniebrook

I used to jump double du5.

11:34 am

jmcnrick

i failed at du5 anyway because i had no ability to make guttural sounds. . .

11:34 am

MollyL

Me too Annie : D

11:34 am

jmcnrick

i used to go on du5 da4s

11:34 am

sprite

it is interesting how du5 is used in your language.

11:34 am

sammysmom

the only vowel i didn t try... thanks

11:35 am

jmcnrick

not to mention a du5 uncle

11:35 am

sprite

yeah, that would be a problem indeed. We have nasty gutturals.

11:35 am

sprite

I know 'to go dutch' and 'dutch uncle'. No idea what du5 jumping is.

11:35 am

Anniebrook

Well, I speak some Yiddish so I have no problem with gutteral words.

11:35 am

jmcnrick

i wonder how du5 children who can't make guttural sounds make themselves understood. . .

11:36 am

sammysmom

ooops, that was the te 5/16......... still need the te 5/12

11:36 am

jmcnrick

double du5 is jump roping with two ropes . . . it is a big deal in some areas of the country

11:36 am

MollyL

Double du5 jump rope. Two ropes going at once.

11:36 am

sammysmom

hi jm

11:36 am

sprite

oh! I used to do that too. Thank you :)

11:36 am

Anniebrook

I was very good at jumping double du5.

11:37 am

jmcnrick

i see that it is popular in Belgium. . .

11:37 am

sprite

ah, here is what wiki says about the use of Du5: "In Britain, at the time of the Anglo-Du5 Wars in the 17th century, England and the Netherlands were at each otherâ€™s throats. At this time the English language gained a whole array of new insults (including "Du5 uncle")"

11:37 am

sammysmom

hi sprite....... i am wool gathering today

11:38 am

sprite

how nice, smom. Enjoy it. Te + double organ to see with + consonant.

11:38 am

MollyL

I could still twirl, but I doubt I could still du5.

11:39 am

Anniebrook

I know I can't anymore but it was one of my favorites.

11:40 am

jmcnrick

hmmm that is not what i thought a du5 uncle was. . . i thought it was a guy who gave unuseful advice and criticism

11:40 am

Anniebrook

going to check my peppers which are roasting.

11:40 am

sprite

it was so much fun to do. Also the twirling.

11:40 am

jmcnrick

i can't even hula hoop worth a damn anymore

11:41 am

sprite

jmc: yes it is. Well, not unuseful, but critical and harsh and frank. In short: Calvinistic. Which is deep in our nation's roots.

11:41 am

MollyL

All that booty shaking and you can't hula hoop? Shame.

11:41 am

sprite

I could never hula hoop. But I could jump ropes :)

11:41 am

jmcnrick

hey the booty doesn't keep the hoop up

11:42 am

sprite

maybe mine does now, lollll. For a small hoop, maybe.

11:42 am

MollyL

Yes, but one must move one's hips in order to shake one's booty.

11:42 am

jmcnrick

shaking is easier than going in a circle. . .

11:43 am

sprite

I can shake it with the best of you, but not the hula hoop thing. The hoop was at my feet in two swings.

11:45 am

jmcnrick

i was quite good at it as a child. . . but the body is less easily sent where i intend it to go

11:45 am

sprite

I heard it is pretty bad for one's hips, to hula hoop.

11:46 am

jmcnrick

goodness sprite got me so fixated on the du5 i just found the di5! haha

11:46 am

jmcnrick

no doubt sprite

11:46 am

sprite

lolllll

11:47 am

sprite

and the ai5 of course

11:47 am

jmcnrick

*face palm*

11:47 am

sprite

and the cu5. Very nice language, mine.

11:48 am

jmcnrick

didn't know the cu5 ty

11:49 am

sprite

yvw. I didn't either. Just trying everything, however silly it seems.

11:49 am

jmcnrick

good point

11:49 am

sprite

*grin*

11:51 am

sammysmom

i was never good at it either... had ONE moment of gracefulness and agility..... it was in september of 1953..... had a perfect movement in a balet lesson....... never happened again and things went downhill from there.. am so gratful that my kids inherited their fathers agility and grace

11:52 am

jmcnrick

its nice you have the memory of perfection. . .

11:52 am

sprite

at least you had one perfect moment :)
That is a great memory.

11:53 am

jmcnrick

11:55 am

sprite

errr te6: past tense, T + sound that comes back to you minus last letter, give past tense ending

11:55 am

sammysmom

could also be spelled with a t in the middle

11:55 am

Deeha

well you might be but I certainly arent!!! Got it thanks - that a very American expression

11:56 am

jmcnrick

i love it when there are multiple clues all different

11:56 am

sammysmom

yup

11:56 am

sprite

so do I. So interesting. And the best part is at least one will work for the person who asked :)

11:56 am

jmcnrick

it is an american pronunciation of a more general expression. . .touched in the head

11:57 am

sprite

ah ok. And what does that mean? A bit gaga?

11:57 am

Deeha

Thats fireworks for me. Anyone want a clue before I go and watch the paraolympics - which have been on 12 hours a day here and are amazing. They have had a HUGE audienhce with every ticket sold out for every event.

11:57 am

jmcnrick

is that an american expression too? yes. . .a bit gaga

11:57 am

sammysmom

close enough sprite

11:57 am

Hi Sprite - how you doing?

1:27 pm

sprite

pretty ok :) And you?

1:28 pm

Glantarell

Great day today - lovely sunny weather and a day spent crafting woth a friend - nd two new windows installed - oh, and home made cake :-)

1:28 pm

Glantarell

So I'm in a lovely mood

1:28 pm

sprite

wow you must feel great! What a productive day!

1:29 pm

Glantarell

yup! and i'm off on a machine embroidery/mixed media course tomorrow

1:29 pm

sprite

you are on a roll :)

1:30 pm

Glantarell

:-)

1:30 pm

sherb

*feels exhausted just listening*

1:31 pm

Glantarell

it was fun sherb

1:31 pm

sprite

crafting is so nice. Gives energy, does not take it.

1:31 pm

Glantarell

and now i'm chilling with myfriend chardonnay

1:31 pm

sprite

tell her hi from me ;)

1:32 pm

Glantarell

yes, i taught my friend how to fuse fabric with a soldering iron - we layered and joined and cutorganza all day LOL

1:32 pm

sprite

lol! Never did that, but it sounds really nice.

1:32 pm

Glantarell

it's kind of zen like when you get into it

1:33 pm

Glantarell

and you get amazing results - just google images for Margaret Beal

1:33 pm

sprite

I made paper today. From nettles.

1:33 pm

sprite

*off to google*

1:33 pm

Glantarell

I make soup form nettles LOL

1:33 pm

Glantarell

I would love to make paper but need somebody to hold my hand the first time I try :-)

1:34 pm

sprite

wow that is colourful! Pretty!

1:34 pm

sherb

I like the sound of that... I didn't know you could solder fabric...or make paper from nettles... also off to google...

1:34 pm

sprite

Glant, it is easy. It just stinks up to heaven :)

1:34 pm

dan2bit

speaking of google, has everybody played with the star trek google doodle today?

1:34 pm

sprite

hi dan... no I haven't. How do I do that?

1:35 pm

Glantarell

Hi dan - didn;t know there was a star trek doodle

1:35 pm

sprite

Glant, if you ever want a step by step guide, just email me :)

1:36 pm

Glantarell

I think i have a book soemwhere but I don;t have all the equipment - a deckle

1:36 pm

sprite

what is a deckle?

1:37 pm

Glantarell

I thought that was what you called the large frame that you lay your pulp on?

1:38 pm

sprite

lol I wouldn't know how to call it in english, you are no doubt right. It is easy to make. You need a wooden rectangular frame with metal or plastic ... what is it called... the stuff you have in open windows to keep the flies etc out?

1:38 pm

sprite

gauze?

1:39 pm

Glantarell

i know what you mean but don;t know the name either - mesh? but it's hard to get the metal kind here because we don;t have the screens on our windows

1:40 pm

Glantarell

Didn't know you could use plastic - how fine does it need to be?

1:40 pm

sprite

ah ok... well you can use the plastic kind as well. We did, today. You can tack it on the wooden frame with ... thumb tacks? From plastic it is even easier to collect, once it is dry.

1:41 pm

sprite

rather fine. Like 1 mm holes.

1:41 pm

Glantarell

i thought the plastic might have advantages (easier cleaning, no rust etc) but I have no idea where I would get it

1:42 pm

Glantarell

i must google paper making supplies

1:42 pm

Glantarell

so does your nettle paper have nettle leaves as inclusions od does the nettle make the paper itself?

1:42 pm

Glantarell

and what colour os the paper?

1:42 pm

sprite

yeah... or maybe try 'horregaas' and see if any du5 mesh maker will send it oversea for a reasonable price.

1:43 pm

sprite

I guess you could insert a bit of the leaves if you wanted, but you make the paper from the stems. And after drying in the sun, the paper is a surprising white.

1:44 pm

sprite

just email me if you want to get the whole process step by step, it is fresh in my memory :D

1:44 pm

Glantarell

interesting. Nettle fibes are strong, they are made into fabric and have been for centuries

1:44 pm

Glantarell

is your email in your profile sprite?

1:44 pm

sprite

yes, it is :)

1:45 pm

sprite

at the bottom

1:45 pm

Glantarell

i think the modern name for the fabric is ramie

1:45 pm

sprite

oh wow. Never would have thought of that. Will try to remember.

1:47 pm

Glantarell

I have emailed you :-)

1:48 pm

sprite

great! Will answer tomorrow, 3 more words and I am off to bed, am very tired (whole day of therapy). Tomorrow ok?

1:48 pm

Glantarell

remember all those fairy tales where the girl was put in a tower and had to spin nettles into cloth? rumpelstiltskin might have been one

1:49 pm

Glantarell

2:04 pm

Glantarell

2:04 pm

my yorkie puds would bring a tear to yer eye;)

2:04 pm

Glantarell

although i have never had yorkshire pudding woth anything other than roast beef or sausages :-)

2:05 pm

Glantarell

2:05 pm

crosshair

2:05 pm

2:06 pm

bigger trays for toad in the hole and the like

2:06 pm

Glantarell

small ones then - yum - my favourite, especially if they are cooked in beef dripping

2:06 pm

Glantarell

i have never made toad in the hole - bit frightened of it LOL

2:06 pm

crosshair

if i go all traditional i used held back bacon drippings

2:07 pm

crosshair

get the pans nice and hot

2:07 pm

Glantarell

never thought of uing bacon drippings

2:07 pm

crosshair

or peanut oil as it has a very high smoke point

2:07 pm

Glantarell

mainly bcause most of our bacon is so pumped full of water that the drippings are full of that horrid white stuff

2:08 pm

Glantarell

never thought of peanut oil either - good idea

2:08 pm

crosshair

up just lightly grease muffin tins with it.pre heat empty pans and add room tem yorkie batter

2:09 pm

crosshair

get the over nice and hot 450-500 f

2:10 pm

crosshair

and they will puff up beautifully

2:12 pm

crosshair

i always keep a small jar of peanut oil and a small jar of virgin oliv oil for cooking,extra virgin olive oil for salads as it has a lower smoke point

2:28 pm

dcseain

i usually have canola, chinese sesame, evoo, light oo, peanut, coconut, palm, and corn oils on hand.

2:34 pm

i have used the list once or twice, but usually im not on here long enough to go through the trouble of putting all the words in, and all that

5:02 pm

That's funny Dorens. I know a lot of drunks who said the same thing for years. : D

5:03 pm

Dorens

fortunately, i don't seem to have an addictive personality when it comes to drinking, drugs or gambling. just this darned game!!!

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

actually, there isn't any real scientific basis in the construct "addictive personality." not that anyone needs to know that.

5:04 pm

Dorens

interesting, kap, and something I have long suspected myself

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You don't need me to just drop that on you after days of not calling, not writing...

5:04 pm

MollyL

No scientific basis, but lots of people who can't do things in a non-addicted way.

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Jilly, question about the HCG diet. Does it require that you take an ice bath every morning?

5:19 pm

periwinkle

HCG diet?

5:21 pm

MollyL

Injections of human chorionic gonadotropin plus a 500 calorie a day diet.

5:21 pm

5:23 pm

periwinkle

fw, now going to look up HCG diet

5:24 pm

MollyL

I didn't think so. Someone told me that today and I looked at them like they were nuts.

5:24 pm

Jillyjill

Peri...warning, very controversial and the tests show that the drops one can get on iinternet are dangerous. I went through a naturopath for my injections..

5:27 pm

MollyL

It's so sad that people believe whatever they read on the internet.

5:30 pm

uusue2

hi all!

5:31 pm

Jillyjill

Dr Oz was originally very against it, then he did a trial. The control group was to just eat 500 calories/day with saline injections, the test group had the 500 calories with the HCG injections. Both groups lost the same amount. The difference was the control group lost muscle, the hcg didn't.

5:31 pm

Jillyjill

Hi uusue

5:31 pm

uusue2

hi jilly!

5:31 pm

lol,i do not see the other sue on much anymore so i imagine i can dispense with using "suze" now

5:34 pm

uusue2

:-) whatever - you're the only one who calls me that so it's kind of special

5:34 pm

Jillyjill

I looked into it when a local MD that I respect discussed it as an option. Thoroughly researched it and like I said, utilized a naturopath that was also recommended by that MD.

5:34 pm

uusue2

did you try it, jilly?

5:35 pm

crosshair

just want our jilly nice and healthy:)

5:35 pm

Jillyjill

That's how I lost the 81#....

5:35 pm

MollyL

Jilly, that is the smart way to go about choosing a diet.

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

A few MD's I work with have changed their mind on it...

5:36 pm

uusue2

hard for me to imagine being able to stick to 500 cal/day...

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

But again, like any diet, need health practioner oversight AND you must change your ways or you gain it back

5:36 pm

MollyL

Changed their minds in favor or against?

5:37 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...that's the great thing about it, you really don't have hunger, now cravings, yes...but not any worse than any other diet

5:37 pm

Jillyjill

And yes Mols, for it

5:38 pm

Jillyjill

It's been almost a year since I finished. I admit, I have 7 # on but have been able keep any more off

5:38 pm

uusue2

well, you look great, jilly!

5:38 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks uusue! You can still see my fat photos on my facebook account...LOL

5:39 pm

Jillyjill

I also had the naturopath recommend using B12 as the mix agent for the hcg rather than saline. I thing that helped my energy

5:40 pm

MollyL

Physician oversight is so important for any diet that drastically reduces your calorie intake. Especially for people of "a certain age" (to be delicate) : D

5:40 pm

Jillyjill

A couple other nurses I work with did it, but all 3 have gained back and then some. I bought the book and followed it to the letter.

5:40 pm

Jillyjill

Maybe it was just the right time for me

5:41 pm

MollyL

Sadly, I know people who have had gastric bypass and gained all the weight back. You have to make it a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix.

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

Amen sista!!

5:42 pm

uusue2

me too, molly - no matter what, you have to eat less and exercise more.

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

And, speaking of "women of a certain age" one HUGE bene was that I had NO hotflashes when on the injections!!!

5:42 pm

uusue2

I have started exercising again, so that is something...

5:43 pm

uusue2

<--- is past hot flashed

5:43 pm

uusue2

*flashes

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Good for you uusue!

5:43 pm

mixi6

I still have hot flashes after 5 years.

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

And I have my trail mix for those times I need to munch rather than simple cargs

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

I am 54, been past menopause for 6 years...still have flashes...*sigh*

5:45 pm

uusue2

anyway thanks to the chat and lickety I have nbt but am still looking for the 8

5:45 pm

mixi6

Dr. said I may have them forever. They are mostly not a problem.

5:46 pm

Jillyjill

5:46 pm

No Pe5 it doesn't.

Thanks much, Molly.

6:37 pm

as far as I can tell the ma5 contains no recognizable constituents whatsoever.

6:38 pm

Neighbor came to walk the dog.....sorry, I'm still looking. I have three french words for "goodbye" but so far, I haven't put them together.

7:26 pm

MollyL

Unfortunately, there is a resurgence of white supremacist groups now that re-election is at hand.

7:27 pm

Uneaixoise

unfortunately, in TN there's a constant presence, esp. in the eastern part of the state :-(

7:28 pm

MollyL

That is sad Une. I read that there has been a "call to arms" among these hate groups to try and defeat re-election.

7:29 pm

Uneaixoise

reports from southern poverty law center are scary and getting scarier

7:30 pm

Uneaixoise

their current count in TN is 39 active hate groups . . .

7:32 pm

MollyL

It's beyond me how people can let hate consume their lives like that.

7:33 pm

Uneaixoise

yep . . . apparently it's a nasty combo of poverty, resentment, ignorance, and general family upbringing . . .

7:34 pm

MollyL

One of the saddest things I've ever seen is a clip of a five-year-old on a talk show saying "I hate n****** "

7:41 pm

Uneaixoise

i don't know which is scarier, overt racism like that example . . . or racism boiling beneath a veneer of education and acceptable behavior . . . there's an awful lot of that around

7:41 pm

can't we all just get along?

MollyL

Oh gak, I'm not mean enough to remind you that you said something so horrid.

8:38 pm

Jillyjill

HE's reading his kindle right now...

8:54 pm

Jillyjill

Fire up big guy fire up! *giggles*

8:59 pm

rururocks

sorry stid.. it's just that some people here forget that this puzzle is a game, and it's fun, and people are here to laugh and have a good time.

8:59 pm

MollyL

Woe is me. This place would be so much better if it weren't for the bad seeds.

8:59 pm

stidmama

bah! humbug! no games allowed. work work work *purposeful mama look*
