angel13136

ok i know it just flipped but why does licker's say puzzle for mon. 05 and not have the rite puzzle?

12:12 am

jillibus

because he's in Australia, angel

12:12 am

dart001

cause he lives in australia and they havent changed their clocks like we did last night

12:12 am

rbud

probably something to do with our time change, be4 wondering how that was going to work out

12:12 am

jillibus

across the International DAte Line

12:13 am

cosdem

lickety came on hour before flip and said "list was up" but the list was already up.. i wonder....

12:13 am

Griffums

Mschs

12:13 am

rbud

see? I was worried - our time changed this Sun. morning, and with him showing up so soon after flip, now he's an hour early! :\

12:14 am

rururocks

maybe lickety needs new batteries in his watches?

12:14 am

angel13136

hmmm weird cause it isn't the correct list this is yesterday's list but with todays date

12:14 am

rbud

yup, I was afraid of that.

12:15 am

jillibus

he posted yesterday's list with today's date.

12:15 am

grannyrose

thanx jilli, for noticing

12:16 am

angel13136

not panic just curiosity dart

12:16 am

jillibus

What I meant to say was that yesterday he posted the list very late, and it showed today's date.

12:16 am

dart001

rbud...he lives in aust...they didnt yesterday

12:16 am

rbud

I know. exactly my point.

12:17 am

rururocks

I felt like a douche finding the en5/12

12:17 am

dart001

he posts right after flip....now ours has changed...his is same so it posted one hr before flip

12:17 am

grannyrose

yes i know rbud, but lickety is/was unaware of the change, hence i emailed him.

12:17 am

cosdem

right. he came a hour before flip today which was our old flip time and said "list is up" but the list was already up

12:17 am

rururocks

and somewhat in arrears finding the bo 5.18

12:17 am

cosdem

lol ty ru

12:17 am

dart001

when it posted today is the same exact time as always....in australia

12:18 am

Oooh, got really fun news tonight. One of the college girls who stayed with us last weekend just got engaged!

1:44 am

dart001

friend of your daughter?

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

No, one of the girls we housed from Johnson University after a musical concert they gave in town.

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

The girls always "adopt" me lol... it's pretty sweet.

1:46 am

dart001

long as they don't "haze" you in lol

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

LOL, too true!

1:47 am

Lizlin

time to go. guests have arrived. enjoy the grid. back tomorrow.

1:48 am

dart001

nite liz

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

Hopefully, things will slow down soon. Only 2 more Mondays of study at my house; we are done on Nov. 12th.

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

nite liz

1:48 am

dart001

but then....thanksgiving and christmas :)

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

Our Thanksgiving will be pretty come - just our daughter, son-in-law, and dog this year; a few stop-in guests, but not really a big deal. We still aren't sure yet what we are doing for Christmas. I haven't bought or even thought about what we are purchasing.

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

oops meant calm

1:50 am

dart001

we will be seeing my parents right after TG...maybe driving to see her brother for X-mas

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

where is he?

1:51 am

dart001

northern new mexico

1:51 am

dart001

weahter in the mountains will play a role in that trip

1:51 am

dart001

weather

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

It is going to be interesting to see what this winter brings - weather wise.

1:54 am

dart001

yep....last one was our first one here...i liked it but the locals say it was very unusual and very warm compared to norms....I told them compared to minnesota..you probably can't hurt me too much...unless we get a lot of ice storms

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

is KS known for ice storms in a "normal" winter?

1:55 am

dart001

middle part of country gets them quite a bit...minnesota is usually cold enought that we just get dumped on with a lot of snow

1:57 am

dart001

last winter in mn...first snowfall was mid-november..17 inches...then 17 more first week of dec....it was over my waist by dec9...and i'm 6'6"

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

I have been to MN in the winter, but all of my KS visits were in the spring time. One of our daughter's best friends lives in your city.

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

We haven't seen snow of any consequence in a couple of winters. We used to get dumped, but not so the last several years.

1:58 am

gran

How many words today please

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

119

1:58 am

dart001

last year in mn...they has 15 inches the whole winter combined

1:58 am

gran

Thanks

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

yw

1:58 am

Jivingjenny0

could i have a clue for the 8 please

1:58 am

dart001

but we were here...we had 3 inches the whole winter. lol

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

alt spelling for chamois... looks like sleeping apparell ch 8/60

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

Did you miss the snow?

2:00 am

dart001

not one bit....had to shovel once...and golfed pretty regular throughout the winter :)

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like my hubby and leaves this fall - all our old neighbors were raking and blowing leaves up a storm, and we didn't have to do it once ...

2:01 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks for the 8 - never seen it spelt like that before

2:02 am

dart001

have 10 trees on my lot...but they aren't very big.....back in minn we had 3 that dropped leaves...and it was a chore about every 4th days

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

was new to me, too jiv

2:02 am

dart001

had a 65 ft tall maple tree that was huge...when it dropped...the leaves were about a foot deep

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

we had scads of trees before; so nice now not to have to mess with them... ditto at our old house - had several huge maples and oak trees

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

I love all the sunshine here

2:04 am

dart001

yard is bigger now...takes longer to mow

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

yep

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

I must confess though; I have never mowed a yard, since we were married.

2:07 am

dart001

how long has it been since you moved into the new house?

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

since March 24th

2:07 am

dart001

unfortunately...i have been doing that since i was about 9

2:09 am

dart001

hubby likes it?

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

he really enjoy mowing; he even helps mow the yard at the church, which is several acres

2:10 am

dart001

push mower...or rider?

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

rider here; push at the old house; rider now to save some trauma on his knee

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

otherwise, he probably would still be pushing

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

with the other lot now, it takes several hours on the rider, so I am thankful he got it this year

2:11 am

dart001

forgot about the knee...i remember joking about 2 for 1's onknee operations for ruru and your husband

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

he had his cortisone shot on May 9th, and so far he hasn't had any pain. Some day, he'll have to have a replacement, but for now, he's good.

2:12 am

dart001

wonder if ruru will ever do it

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

We had a shock last week; a 59 year old from our old church died of a massive coronary... so I've really been bugging him to get a physical. Hubby's doc said one day the pain will "make" him do it, so probably the same with ru.

2:14 am

dart001

my dad had a heart attack in feb....i had a few extra checks during my last yearly physical...makes you think a bit

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

I bet. How's your dad doing now?

2:16 am

dart001

he had a stent put in back then...he is fine...but they keep talking about things on their bucket list....so hopefully they aren't holding back any info

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

They may just be thinking that at their age they need to do some things they have wanted to...

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I need to get going... have a couple of chores to finish and then try to get some sleep.

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

Have a great day!

2:17 am

dart001

i think that is it....but sometimes you wonder...they were talking about a nice restaurant....and some other things like that...not huge conquests

2:18 am

dart001

have a good one tomorrow too....another perfect night lol

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

does make you wonder, I'm sure; my parents were always secretive, too. LOL, very true.

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

ta ta for now!

2:19 am

dart001

3:45 am

grannyrose

Let's just say it's been "quite" a year. And DH will be having another back surgery on Nov. 26th....

basilar joint arthritis; they took out the right thumb joint closest to the wrist and put a tendon from my forearm in there (my non-dominent hand)

1:21 pm

periwinkle

that sounds complicated and painful. hope you heal quickly

1:23 pm

Hi everyone

1:35 pm

Nef

hi stid. How are you doing today?

1:35 pm

stidmama

lowest E is the medicine babblet EN 5/12...

1:35 pm

trentsnana

ec 4/6

1:35 pm

stidmama

I am well Nef, getting over the headachy virus the high schoolers so lovingly passed on... *sigh* but probably better than you! do you need more ice, or meds?

1:35 pm

trentsnana

and eb 4/6

1:36 pm

stidmama

oh, trentsnana, you're right, I was looking at the wrong E as usual.

1:36 pm

stidmama

and hello. :-)

1:36 pm

trentsnana

I thought that at first, too

1:37 pm

stidmama

the EB is like a nickname for very dark wood

1:39 pm

thank you stid andtrentsmama!

I am sure Grant would wonder why "noob" doesn't count ... LOL

1:41 pm

stidmama

hey kate :-)

1:41 pm

MollyL

en5/12 is a Babblet? I thought those were words only seen in Babble.

1:41 pm

Nef

LOL, stid! You're so encouraging to everyone. :-)

1:43 pm

stidmama

no, just words that are rarely used in normal conversation. *wicked mama grin* I assure you that EN 5 doesn't occur in normal conversation for me!

1:44 pm

stidmama

there is a TO 4/8 Nef, that I saw early on, but assumed was a man's name... you might need that one.

1:44 pm

MollyL

I guess there are several different definitions of what a Babblet is then.

1:44 pm

Nef

it doesn't occur in mine either; and I'm a nurse. :-)

1:45 pm

Nef

i've got that one also, stid. Thanks anyway

1:49 pm

stidmama

I am finally down to 50. Like pulling teeth, this grid. *sigh* back to writing for me, then picking up the kiddo from taekwondo later (he deigned to allow such contact) -- he has been rather prickly lately. AND I get to teach 5th graders tomorrow, Nef -- Line graphs (always fun). I hope your week will also be wonderful. *gentle thoughts at hand* see you-all again soon! *poof*

1:50 pm

Nef

take care, stid. HAGD

logical consequences are not often so easy - like the advice to let your kid play outside in the snowstorm without a coat on. He will just get sick...

4:01 pm

Molly has one on her profile

4:01 pm

Bugsaw

Lickety's list is for yesterday stid.

4:01 pm

true. but he'll only get sick once... *sigh* or at least that would be the hope.

4:01 pm

stidmama

it is? bummer. it has today's date. *sigh*

4:02 pm

but I had to take care of him and put my life on hold to do it!! not logical for me

teacher's life too --- how many kids do you think really listened when, daily, I reiterated the requirements of the assignment and the due date??? about half. Over 5 days, only half were actually ready with acceptable work on the due date. *grumble* teenagers!

4:05 pm

smores

M's done here too shallow - mamamia

4:06 pm

in our schools they got all kinds of chances to retry and it has become an expectation. too many of them don't know how to work for an employer when they get a job

4:07 pm

cybernan

last ch 6/27, please?

4:08 pm

stidmama

That is my concern as well. We have hard and fast deadlines in real life. There are rarely do-overs... While I would probably in my own classroom accept late work for partial credit (since the purpose is learning), I would still have to have a cut-off at the end of the grading period!

4:08 pm

MollyL

It should have been driving you mad since it's not in the grid.

4:16 pm

lol shallow

4:18 pm

Lickety posted yesterdays's stats last night. Technically, it was already today in Australia. That explains the disparity between the date and the list.

4:18 pm

praise2him

oh okay

4:18 pm

Shallow One

for me this grid is more like sudoku rather than a word game - monkeying word after word by grid stats and alphabetical order

Dear all, Frank has cancer. Right now that is all we know, will be contacting a surgeon first thing in the morning.

6:12 pm

MollyL

Oh Sue, I'm so sorry. Extra prayers out and I'm lighting a candle for you two.

so sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you both and strong hopes for a positive outcome

6:13 pm

Oh no, Sue. My prayers are with you.

Please know that it's possible to beat cancer. My Mom did three times. I will be confident that Frank will too.

oh Sue, hugs for you both, a rocky road ahead xxx

6:14 pm

uusue2

Thank you all - I will let you all know when we know more.

6:15 pm

godthaab. Lickety has set up to have his list generated automatically. Problem is that the US changed their clocks so his list worked on yesterdays grid. Rose has contacted him

6:15 pm

Kenny Chuck

Do you know where Frank cancer is?

6:17 pm

Kenny Chuck

I mean where is the center of the cancer.

6:18 pm

lynxxx

I guess it could be abdominal as he was having ulcers treated...but I am sure Sue will let us know after they see the specialists

6:20 pm

uusue2

Probably colon but right now we can't be sure.

6:21 pm

lynxxx

Huge horse race here today. Public Holiday. All the girls dressed to the nines, even Prince Charles is attending.......the rain has now started with thunderstorms to follow. Going to be a lot of girls sinking into the turf with their six inch heels and looking bedraggled with drooping hats

6:21 pm

uusue2

And they weren't ulcers, it was digestive fluids backing up due to a stricture. Self diagnosis is not actually a good idea, it turns out.

6:22 pm

Kenny Chuck

Colon cancer can be easily controlled. My hope is that it can be.

6:22 pm

uusue2

Which race, lynxxx?

6:22 pm

uusue2

Ours too, Kenny, thanks.

Because of your description, Lyn, it almost seems worth watching the race!!!!

I am sure it will be televised somewhere Sue - you can see some of our town

Not so much the race, as the racegoers!

6:25 pm

Are you busy at school also Sue? I can't believe it is November already and Halloween decorations put away.

That would be cool! I just expanded our cable service, so maybe we'll actually see it.

hi Stidgmere

6:27 pm

stidgmere

I'm not thinking of Christmas holidays yet Sue. I'm trying to organize my rooms of horrors which hold stuff from several generations of gamily.

6:28 pm

lynxxx

You should ask the family to come and take what they would like - less to organise

6:28 pm

stidgmere

Hi lynxxx. Always glad to see you on Chat. So you ahd lizlin can have a meet up. Glad you are enjoying the grid as well as the chat liz.

6:30 pm

stidgmere

True lynxx. But the boys don't have a place for this stuff until after college I think.

6:30 pm

Lizlin

Yes - people I've chatted to are really nice. I enjoy this, though tend to pop in and out during the day

6:30 pm

lynxxx

well we are probably about 1700 kms apart stidgmere but who knows

6:30 pm

Lizlin

Stid - I'm a 2 hour flight from Melbourne~!

6:30 pm

Lizlin

But as Lyn says - who knows?

6:31 pm

stidgmere

We all tend to pop in and out like meercats surveying their territory. That's Babble for you.

6:31 pm

uusue2

I drove about 2500 miles to a babble meetup this summer, it was FABULOUS.

6:32 pm

Lizlin

I was showing someone the grid last night - don't think they'll join just yet but perhaps in the future

6:32 pm

lynxxx

I can barely manage a 3/4 hour drive

6:32 pm

stidgmere

I realize Australia is big country but on the other hand, that is okay. See Sue's note on her drive to Vancouver Island this summer. We are all likely to get on Air Australia and fly down to see you.

6:33 pm

stidgmere

Driving is pretty boring sometimes unless you have someone to visit with. My daughter, Stidmama is an excellent companion. She could go with you Lynxx.

6:33 pm

Lizlin

Weather here's lovely - no snow - nothing ever REALLY cold! Though I've acclimatised to QLD weather very quickly and now think 14 C is very cold!!!!

6:33 pm

lynxxx

well, would love to meet Stidmama but afraid even she would not tempt me to drive all that way

6:34 pm

lynxxx

where are you from originally Liz?

6:34 pm

stidgmere

Okay Lynxx, I think this is calling for a Babble-in at your place.

6:35 pm

Lizlin

we've talked about doing the drive sometime but taking it really slowly. I'm from London - lived here just under 4 years. Passed citizenship test 2 months ago - waiting for ceremony now. Wouldn't go back to living in UK but love to visit.

6:35 pm

lynxxx

sure - there are 4/5 Babblers in melbourne actually. Jilli nearly made it over here before her accident

6:36 pm

lynxxx

Oh - Congratulations Liz - Welcome to "The Lucky Country" (that sounds so old hat now)

6:36 pm

stidgmere

Jilli is a tough lady. She can go anywhere. Right?

6:37 pm

Lizlin

Well - the test wasn't exactly challenging - one question (they're all multiple choice) was - what language is the national language of Australia? - choice - Australian, English or Urdu (or something similar)!!!!!

6:37 pm

lynxxx

Yes. And she has relatives going back a long way who are pretty well known from early 1900s

6:37 pm

Christine

Lizlin - where in London?

6:38 pm

stidgmere

Is the answer Australian? Just in case I want to take the citizen test.

6:38 pm

Lizlin

North London - end of the Piccadilly Line - Cockfosters (or as an ex-Aussie colleague of mine commented - her 2 favourite things in life!)

6:38 pm

lynxxx

lol!

6:39 pm

lynxxx

English Stidgmere

6:39 pm

Lizlin

Language def English - but quite a few word differences!

6:40 pm

Lizlin

My hubby - an Aussie - taught in England, where I met him, and caused uproar in the class telling the kids to take their pants off for a PE lesson - I know that's used in the US too but in England it's trousers!

6:40 pm

Christine

Yes, I've heard that before. I'm originally from the east end - Clapton, Hackney & Stamford Hill .

6:40 pm

Lizlin

Pants are underpants

6:40 pm

stidgmere

Ty lynxx. We say we speak English, too, but there are lots of variations like Liz is pointing out. I had to listen really carefully in places like Salisbury in England.

6:41 pm

Lizlin

I know the area pretty well Christine - I taught in Stoke Newington for 10 years!

6:41 pm

Christine

Do you teach now?

6:42 pm

Lizlin

Took early retirement, when we moved here. Now enjoy walking on the beach and in the season, whale watching!

6:42 pm

Christine

Still lots of family in the Stoke Newington area

6:43 pm

lynxxx

are you on the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast?

6:43 pm

Lizlin

Gold Coast

6:43 pm

lynxxx

I have a SIL nr Noosa - well when she is home anyway

6:44 pm

Lizlin

Went to Noosa for the first time this winter. Didn't have much time there - meeting up with family from Melbourne - would like to go back.

6:45 pm

lynxxx

very nice - a permamnent holiday for you

6:45 pm

Lizlin

Absolutely - miss London friends though but skype's great.

6:45 pm

lynxxx

Your husband is from Melbourne originally?

6:45 pm

Lizlin

Warrrnambool

6:46 pm

lynxxx

Air fares are reasonably, I guess you will might get a few visitors from back home come over

6:46 pm

Lizlin

We've had a few!

6:46 pm

Lizlin

More to come, I hope.

6:47 pm

lynxxx

aha - Guess that is why you are into whale watching then

6:47 pm

Lizlin

We just love it. The company we go with invented a season ticket for us. We try to go once a week. Went 18 times this year. The whales are just awesome! Saw Migaloo in 2009!

6:48 pm

lynxxx

for non Australians - Warnambool has great whale watching

6:48 pm

stidgmere

New type of whale washed ashore in New Zealand in the news today.

6:49 pm

lynxxx

wow Liz

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Gold Coast is better! It's the cross over point for the southern humpback migration. We get about 15000 on the annual migration - travel north from May / June to August, then return south until november. the season just ended.

6:50 pm

Lizlin

I didn't see that about the whale in NZ - will look it up.

6:51 pm

lynxxx

Interesting Stidgmere - a spade-toothed beaked whale. never been seen live before. How great that we still are finding things

6:51 pm

Lizlin

time to head off for a walk on the beach

6:51 pm

lynxxx

bye Liz...enjoy the rest of your day

6:51 pm

stidgmere

I think so too lynxxx. Usually its little creatures but this is not. Good by liz.

6:52 pm

stidgmere

I should concentrate on the grid to find more words to put with the 27 found so far.

6:52 pm

stidmama

hello Mother

6:52 pm

stidmama

hey lynxxx and bye liz

6:52 pm

Lizlin

You too - enjoy the cup! Have agood evening stid.I've still got 51 left to find - perhaps later! Bye :)

6:53 pm

stidgmere

Hi mama.

6:54 pm

lynxxx

hi Stid

6:54 pm

stidmama

:-D So I wrote 3,490 words today (my fignrs are tired) and I am done for now. I also did some laundry, but the washer died so waiting for Tom to get home and fix it. That's it. No cooking, no gardening (well, not much, I thinned the baby lettuces and bok choi), no cleaning.

6:54 pm

stidmama

how about you?

6:56 pm

stidgmere

Did washing, folded clothes, worked on paperwork for dad, practiced for rehearsal, went for walk with dad and murphy, looked for voice recorders (small, pocket type). That's all.

6:56 pm

stidmama

there. FINALLY got the last corner!

6:56 pm

lynxxx

moi? I have cleaned 2 rooms, babbled, hung out wask=hing, walked the dog, babbled - and avoided doing writing actually - trying to get together a 12 page booklet

6:57 pm

stidmama

wow. that's a good bit, ladies! I will do the writing lynxx, if you will do my cleaning... *hopeful look*

6:57 pm

stidmama

Oh, I DID play with lucky some today too. It was dry enough that I even opened the back door for a while and he could go in and out at will

6:58 pm

stidgmere

Getting dark early now. Time to cook dinner so I'll say goodnight all.

6:58 pm

wvteach

enjoyed a day of being with my grandson who turned 2 today - helped granddaughter get through her homeworkk after school

6:58 pm

lynxxx

lucky Lucky

6:58 pm

stidmama

what fun, teach!

6:58 pm

lynxxx

nice wv

6:58 pm

wvteach

more fun than anything else

6:58 pm

stidmama

have a lovely evening mother -- we are having leftovers tonight. I did lemongrass chicken the other night, and then leftovers from yesterday. It will be a good meal.

6:59 pm

lynxxx

goodnight Stidgmere

7:02 pm

stidmama

well. down to 28. I will wait until later to list. Probably should go iron a few shirts. My teaching clothes need replenishing. *sigh* I should have decided to teach art, or shop, or ... something dirty so I could justify jeans! LOL back later. *poof*

7:03 pm

lynxxx

bye Stid

7:12 pm

cosdem

hello all. its gonna be a long painful 24 hours

7:13 pm

lynxxx

whats happening Cos? or are you talking election

7:13 pm

cosdem

election.

7:14 pm

lynxxx

my money is on Obama

7:16 pm

dan2bit

I am just ready for these ads to be over. The perils of living in a "swing" state

7:17 pm

lynxxx

hi Dan

7:17 pm

dan2bit

hiya lynxxx & cos & stid & all lurkers

7:17 pm

lynxxx

'baby' is looking so cute

7:18 pm

wvteach

not a swing state but the ads and the robo calls are too much

7:18 pm

lynxxx

so the phone calls are not 'live' just recordings?

7:19 pm

dan2bit

lynxxx - thank you! her halloween getup is at http://tinyurl.com/becetn6

7:19 pm

cosdem

A news report said my county has seen the most political ads of the year anywhere.

7:19 pm

wvteach

just recordings - computerized dialing - annoying because in the last week they come dozens of time each day

7:19 pm

cosdem

some calls are live and some are robo-calls, lynx

7:20 pm

lynxxx

oh Dan - she looked gorgeous!

7:21 pm

dan2bit

she was very proud of her costume choice - she meowed on request and showed her "kitty claws" (black nail polish)

7:21 pm

lynxxx

we have a 'don't call' system you can register for, so stop nuisance calls. I reckon those sort of calls would qualify

7:22 pm

cosdem

no they do not lynx

7:22 pm

dan2bit

actually, the US version of that system has an explicit exception for political parties & groups

7:22 pm

wvteach

we are supposedly on a don't call list but we still get the political calls and many others

7:22 pm

cosdem

the only way not to get these calls is to change ur number and not tell them or be unregistered voter. ryan changed his nbr and didnt tell them and we havent gotten a call at all this year

7:22 pm

nrkii

I'm not in a swing state, but have been getting robocalls from Democrat candidates. It's odd, because they're going to win anyways, and you'd think they'd back off in NJ given the troubles here.

7:23 pm

cosdem

or if you vote early, ur name will show up as voted complete and they wont call you.

7:24 pm

cosdem

I used to dislike chris christie but he's been decent during the aftermath of sandy.... he wont campaign.... good for him

7:24 pm

dan2bit

can I have stats for the right column N?

7:25 pm

cosdem

ni 4/4

7:25 pm

there is an ni4/4

7:31 pm

cosdem

MollyL

7:31 pm

shorty

7:31 pm

lynxxx

see the conversation we just had Shorty

7:31 pm

MollyL

Lickety updated yesterday's list at 4:20PM our time. By then, it was the 5th in Australia. So the date and the list don't jive.

7:32 pm

wvteach

** finito ** last word SU 6/30 add another consonant at end of previous SU 5 (tree)

7:32 pm

ohhhhhh gotcha

7:39 pm

MollyL

Ignore me, that was the first.

7:39 pm

wht

ty lynxxx.

7:40 pm

Molly, I was wondering about your clue. Have you been reading 50 Shades of Grey?

7:41 pm

rururocks

hmmm bondage

7:41 pm

lynxxx

right on cue

7:41 pm

rururocks

i just arrived

7:41 pm

rururocks

7:42 pm

I think ruru has a finely tuned innuendo detector.

7:43 pm

rururocks

finely tuned something ...that's for sure

7:44 pm

rururocks

these m's are ridiculous

good night lynxx

7:48 pm

MollyL

No Wht. I have no interest in bad writing.

7:50 pm

rururocks

would the book tie you up too much molly?

7:51 pm

MollyL

Yes, don't want to be bound to reading trash.

7:52 pm

rururocks

even if the book is brand spanking new?

7:53 pm

wht

Fireworks. And my last word was sa5,18 which would describe a wench like Molly. :^)

7:53 pm

MollyL

Aw Wht, you charmer you. : )

7:54 pm

wht

Any time Molly.

7:57 pm

rururocks

*risk taker*

7:58 pm

rururocks

call someone else a wench around here (without a sense of humor) and have your head handed to you.

7:59 pm

wht

Maybe I just don't know any better.

7:59 pm

MollyL

This is true, Ru. But this small cadre who maintain their sense of humor understand each other. Thank God for that.

7:59 pm

wht

And I have had a fair indication that Molly has a sense of humor.

8:00 pm

rururocks

---going to let the fireworks run for a while.. this was a weird grid

8:00 pm

wht

congrtulations ruru

8:01 pm

wht

strange words seem to congregate in small grids.

8:01 pm

MollyL

I'd say it's one of the weirdest I've ever done.

8:01 pm

rururocks

this will go down as the Al Jolson grid

8:02 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

8:02 pm

rururocks

hi jes

8:02 pm

rururocks

you missed all the bondage action with wht and molly

8:02 pm

cosdem

my first grid back and its an awful one.

8:02 pm

MollyL

And amazingly, there was no indignation about those Jolson words being offensive.

8:02 pm

jesdraggon

what?!? dangit, how do i miss all the exciting stuff?

8:02 pm

jesdraggon

did you video it for me?

8:03 pm

jesdraggon

who's al jolson?

8:03 pm

rururocks

crap..I'm dating myself

8:03 pm

nrkii

ah help please?

8:03 pm

MollyL

It was pretty tame Jes. Wht referred to me as a wench and I did not get all huffy and call him a Cyber Bully.

8:04 pm

rururocks

a + not her + **y something nice

8:04 pm

jesdraggon

heh. that's bondage action? i dunno about your lecher credentials suddenly, ru

8:04 pm

nrkii

thanks!

8:05 pm

rururocks

They were discussing bondage books

8:05 pm

rururocks

I'm exonerated

8:05 pm

MollyL

Well, there was a brief discussion about 50 Shades Of Bad Writing.

8:05 pm

rururocks

I came in like a sheep

8:05 pm

jesdraggon

ah; that's not a bondage book, ru, that's an abusive relationship/how NOT to do BDSM book

8:05 pm

wht

Molly started it by using s&m in a clue. And ruru came in, more like a moth to a flame.

8:05 pm

MollyL

Pure as the driven slush Ru.

8:06 pm

rururocks

well wht.. candles are phallic

8:06 pm

rururocks

some are

8:06 pm

BabbleRabble

Yes, the cyber bullies have assembled.

8:06 pm

MollyL

*Pays attention as Jes seems to be an expert on the subject*

8:07 pm

rururocks

not the aromatherapy ones

8:07 pm

jesdraggon

heh. i dunno about an expert, molly. some experience there though.... :D

8:07 pm

BabbleRabble

I laugh at them.

8:08 pm

jesdraggon

who's cyber bullying, bab?

8:08 pm

BabbleRabble

I did not say anyone was.

8:09 pm

cosdem

I feel so sad. My neighbor died. She was in her late 30s/early 40s. She was a little off but very sweet.

8:09 pm

wht

I think we are just in our favorite Babble meet-up location. The gutter.

8:09 pm

jesdraggon

you said "the cyber bullies have assembled"... i was just wondering what that was about?

8:09 pm

jesdraggon

oh no, cos, what happened?

8:09 pm

cosdem

Last time I saw her was last night and I waved to her and walked off quickly because was too tired to listen to her :(

8:09 pm

wht

Cos. I am so sorry.

8:10 pm

that is sad cos

8:10 pm

BabbleRabble

I did not say anyone was in the gutter.

8:11 pm

MollyL

Aw Cos, sorry to hear that.

8:13 pm

wht

I know you didn't BR. That was an unsolicited comment on my part.

8:14 pm

jesdraggon

i like the gutter. it's comfy.

8:15 pm

BabbleRabble

Many don't, and have left the site or no longer chat.

8:15 pm

BabbleRabble

The gutter is not the thing ... that is your choice.

8:16 pm

BabbleRabble

The bullying does go on.

8:16 pm

Good evening!

8:17 pm

Hello to all!

BabbleRabble

8:19 pm

okay. i guess I'm just confused why you bring it up if you are not willing to explain what you're referencing?

8:19 pm

BabbleRabble

Because it goes on.

8:21 pm

jesdraggon

If I have done something you consider bullying, it was unintentional, and I really hope you bring it to my attention.

8:21 pm

nrkii

BR, I don't disagree with you that there was a pretty tense time here in the last year. And people did leave because of it, which is unfortunate. But, I think things have been a lot better in the past month, and I'm hopeful it will continue that way.

8:22 pm

BabbleRabble

No, I am leaving ... let those who have no consideration for others have the place.

8:22 pm

car.eeyore

BR...please don't leave. I will be sad.

Well now I'm just really confused.

Which caused us to do some housecleaning, which got our minds off things for a bit.

10:24 pm

stidmama

I am well -- down to one kid at home, and he seems to be turning the corner as far as academics, which is hopeful. I am working as many sub days as I want (would prefer full-time in my own classroom, but content for now)... and life is good. You?

I am good now. 10/27 I got hit by a drunk driver at 10:30 a.m. He ran a red light. The force of his car caused my van to spin and then rollover. I was banged up and bruised but no broken bones and thankfully no one was with me. My little red van didn't fair as well. She served us well and helped to save my life. Oh and we got an offer on our house this evening so right now, all is well with us too.
