Nite all.

morning all

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite.

3:32 am

sprite

hiya zooz :)

3:45 am

mari

Hi All Does anyone know what's wrong with Mr P ? She sounds really unhappy :(

3:45 am

sprite

sorry mari, no idea

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Mari..I know, Grannyrose..was speaking to her yesterday..And Adree is going to go And see her..but that is all i know.

3:46 am

mari

yerk

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Andree*

3:46 am

mari

sorry

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Got that one.

3:46 am

sprite

now now, no namecalling here :)

3:48 am

mari

I'm blazing through this with one !!

3:48 am

sprite

yeah, fast one

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad for me so far..although i still need one at least one from most tiles still.

3:49 am

sprite

my love and I had a fight yesterday :(
I hate that.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear..sorry to hear that, Sprite..hope it is just hot air being blown and it has cooled down .

3:51 am

zoozzoom

And i do hope you mean as in words.

3:51 am

sprite

not sure... haven't seen him since. And he is terribly in the wrong, so I don't want to make the first move now... god I hate fighting so much!

3:52 am

sprite

oh... yes in words, lol!

3:53 am

sprite

I had contracted someone to repair our roof gutter. Apparently he didn't like that. Which is ok. But he yelled at me, cursed at me and make disparaging remarks to me about it... which is not ok.

3:54 am

zoozzoom

He probably knows he was in the wrong..but men hate to admit that.sometimes both not speaking after can make matters blow well out of proportion..maybe when he comes back..make a cup of tea and give it to him..and see if he trys to make up to you.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Sprite there is no need to make someone feel stupid.

3:56 am

sprite

I think you are right. But am not sure I can, yet... am still SO mad! But you are right about how it helps to diffuse the tension before making up.

3:57 am

sprite

grin, I DID manage to keep a lock on my sarcastic tongue though... which is a good thing.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

I know how you feel , Sprite...but men are stupid stubborn creatures with no sense of tact...once the situation has calmed down you should tell him.that is no way to react to his wife and you expect him never to treat you like that in future times..but to discuss it like mature adults.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Hahaha..love yer dry sarcastic wit, Spritey!

3:59 am

sprite

thanks, zooz, that is really good advice. I will take it :)

4:00 am

sprite

lol, so does my love... but not when it is directed at him when I am mad... and rightly so. I am happy I didn't give it to the urge. Less escalation of the fight.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

(((Sprite)))

4:01 am

sprite

:D Aahh I needed that!

4:01 am

zoozzoom

I'm afraid sarcastic wit as funny as it is..has its time & place...mores the pity though..lol

4:02 am

sprite

*grin* Yeah, better to keep it out of fights.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

And to top it all..you come on to babble and there are 5 Ks waving at you saying find us..lol

4:03 am

sprite

true. I killed them so dead!

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Good for you!

4:03 am

sprite

and that makes fireflies. Not a bad grid.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite!!

4:04 am

sprite

anything I can help with before I go, zooz?

4:04 am

zoozzoom

No ifeel i will be fine with this one..but thank you, Sprite.

4:05 am

sprite

*hugs* and thanks for the listening ear and the advice. Am gonna do some domestic chores.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Keep smiling, Spritey..there are people who do care :-)

2:37 pm

TraderKate

hi stiddie :)

2:37 pm

stidmama

2:37 pm

zoozzoom

Sounds nice for today, TK.

2:38 pm

stidmama

we are clouding over, might get a few showers this afternoon and evening. Cooler than "average" but pretty normal for June around here.

2:39 pm

zoozzoom

Normal is ok i suppose...would love a little heatwave for a few months though.

2:39 pm

TraderKate

yes stiddie, we will all be in the path of the storm coming up from illinois, carlee cat will get it more directly crossy and i will be on the northern edge of it probably... supposed to start overnight with the rains and winds picking up in the morning... t-0storms and outside chance of tornadoes

2:40 pm

TraderKate

it seems no one is getting a "normal" summer this year. we've all had our fill of flooding!

2:40 pm

zoozzoom

Oh dear...batten down the hatches, TK :-(

2:40 pm

bichon

We're supposed to get 2-4" tomorrow, in addition to what we've had so far this month, about 6"

2:40 pm

stidmama

well, I hope you are stocked up on storm supplies then. Seems early for this kind of thing, but a lot this year has been out of sync

2:41 pm

stidmama

2:41 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Bichon...I take it you are back home now.

3:05 pm

crosshair

month

3:06 pm

MimiCat

Haven't checked back in the chog...is anyone here living in the midwest and, if so, how is the storm situation now?

3:06 pm

TraderKate

{{{{(((group hugz)))}} babble wouldn't be the same without crossy
you're eating chili in that heat mimi????

3:06 pm

MimiCat

Yep---fighting fire with fire!

3:06 pm

MimiCat

Lots of sour cream with it, though.

3:07 pm

MimiCat

I have a big batch of pasta salad I made on Monday but get tired of the same exact thing every meal, so need a change.

3:07 pm

crosshair

my brother lives just outside of vegas and they had a boy scout troupe get lost 3 days ago.it was 108 f the troupe leader died and 4 of the scouts were hospitalized

3:08 pm

MimiCat

We may have record-breaking heat today....the record is 114 and they're predicting 113 with the chance of going higher...UGH....I can't even walk to the office to pick up my mail unless I go at 5 in the morning. Hate this.

3:08 pm

crosshair

insane.totally insane

3:08 pm

MimiCat

You know, crossy, wouldn't common sense dictate you DO NOT go hiking or do ANYTHING ELSE outdoors in this heat? Are they CRAZY?

3:09 pm

TraderKate

i hear you there mimi, i often cook large batches then just reheat, don't have the time to cook from scratch every day otherwise...
i didn't hear anything about the scouts crossy, but i did hear that dalton mcginty is resigning today...

3:09 pm

crosshair

you would think so

3:09 pm

TraderKate

you do have air conditioning at home though, don't you mimi?

3:09 pm

crosshair

is he?? aww..let me show him the door...

3:10 pm

MimiCat

Oh, yes, Kate, and also have a big floor fan on my constantly. That helps spread the cold around as well.

3:10 pm

TraderKate

dilema... do i go to more words to find my last 2 fishies, or beg shamelessly and stay in the chog??? hmmm...

3:10 pm

crosshair

your power grid must be pushed to the limit

3:10 pm

MimiCat

Due to my thyroid and heart conditions, I cannot tolerate the heat at all....sure living in the right place, huh? Just waiting to move next year into the mountains.

3:11 pm

MimiCat

Oh, stay, Kate....DO stay!!

3:11 pm

TraderKate

glad to hear that mimi. where are you planning to move to?

3:12 pm

MimiCat

I have a one-bedroom apt., crossy, and with the reduced rate and special schedule I adhere to plus a trifold I put in my west-facing window in the afternoon, my electric bill is rarely over $100 a month in the summer..about 40-50 in the winter.

3:13 pm

MimiCat

No sure, Kate....maybe still in Arizona but about an hour and a half up in altitude into the mountains on the Mogollon Rim or even into Flagstaff (close to the Grand Canyon). Even considering northern Idaho, though.

3:14 pm

crosshair

that is not bad,mimi.i meant the entire grid as a whole however

3:15 pm

MimiCat

I knew that was what you meant, crossy, and, yes, it is stressed to the limit this time of year. Phoenix is mostly using a nuclear power plant called Palo Verde on the outskirts of town.

3:15 pm

TraderKate

do you have family close to any of those places mimi?

3:16 pm

crosshair

we have bruce nuclear,but i have no idea what % it gives and our hydro-elecric dams of course

3:16 pm

MimiCat

All three of my kids and my ex are here in the Phoenix area but I never see them so why stay here and torture myself? I want a little house with some land so I can have gardens and get a couple of German shepherds again....my poor cats may have strokes, though!

3:16 pm

lbdawger

Mimi, northern Idaho...cold in winter, can get hot in summer but not as hot as Arizona. Flagstaff is nice.

3:17 pm

crosshair

think of "my" log home in the snow mimi:))

3:17 pm

TraderKate

dawg!!! hi there :)
very sensible of you mimi.. and gardens and critters are good for the health and the soul...

3:17 pm

crosshair

if you have a garden and books,you have everything you need

3:18 pm

MimiCat

Hi, dawg! I'm looking at Couer d'alene area right now. But may just go to Colorado instead---I'm exploring all options. Economy of housing will be the major factor.

3:18 pm

MimiCat

I look at it often, crossy....

3:19 pm

MimiCat

I can be a bit of a hermit but I'm happy that way. I have the internet, my Roku, friends on the phone, my animals, my books and just need the gardens and I'll be happy. I find my own mind VERY entertaining...does that sound boastful?

3:20 pm

MimiCat

And, of course, with Babble I always have someone interesting and nice to talk to online at any hour.

3:21 pm

crosshair

for those who care to look,this is our dream place mimi and i are referring to.it is 5 minutes from where i am now and is at the base of blue mountain on a wooded acre of and with a hiking/ski/snowshoe trail that passes through it

3:21 pm

crosshair

http://tinyurl.com/kgctrvp

3:22 pm

TraderKate

i am a lot like you, mimi.. i like my own company just fine ;)
i would probably make a good lighthouse keeper - if i had internet, that is... and lots of books...

3:23 pm

3:24 pm

crosshair

well,just scroll down my wall in fb,you will see it

3:24 pm

TraderKate

all the babblers went there at once and crashed the site lol

3:24 pm

MimiCat

Since I live alone and am often simply in my apt. with the cats, people have often asked if I get lonely or bored but I actually do not. I've had a VERY full and interesting life and am content with myself....that, to me, is the best achievement in this life.

3:24 pm

crosshair

hehe

3:25 pm

TraderKate

with age comes self-knowledge and wisdom :)

3:25 pm

crosshair

my beloved is a book hound like me:)) just loaded 7 more onto her reader for her

3:26 pm

MimiCat

I'll forward the cabin picture to you, Kate, right now....

3:26 pm

TraderKate

<-----luddite - still prefers the printed page by a long shot

3:28 pm

crosshair

funny,coming up to our 20th now,but when we first moved in together,we had a very unusual problem because along with my dearest,came all her books of course and since we enjoy many of the same authors we found we had doubles of many books like over 50 doubles lol.

3:28 pm

crosshair

for my wife is is a necessity,kate.she has a eye disease and needs to be able to adjust the print size

3:29 pm

MimiCat

That's true compatibility, crossy.

3:30 pm

crosshair

should of seen us! poor bookcases were bulging at the seams.we stacked all the doubles and betwen the two of us we voted on which copy was not read to tatters and kept the best one

3:30 pm

MimiCat

Though I do love living alone, my best friend of 44 years and I are destined to live together again in a few years. I can see us rocking on the porch, reminiscing and waiting for our meds to kick in!

3:30 pm

TraderKate

chyuckling at crossy's dilemma of too many copies of favourite books... i do remember that she can't see much of anyth9ing, hence she does not babble :(

3:30 pm

crosshair

there re still many books with her maiden name writ on the flyleaf sitting on one of the cases

3:30 pm

MimiCat

She's the only person I'd even considering living with at this point.

3:31 pm

crosshair

she sees at 20/400 atm,so with the ebook reader she can still enjoy her fvorite books..and crossy makes it his mission to get them

3:31 pm

TraderKate

you are lucky to have such a friend mimi, i could not contemplate living with anyone at this point... but hadn't you better get going on the "cat collection" so you fit the stereotype ;)

3:32 pm

MimiCat

We've often lamented the fact that we're not lesbians...but, not even in the slightest. Actually, I'm glad because our relationship probably would have ended long ago if that had been the case.

3:32 pm

TraderKate

any more like you at home crossy? haven't had a boyfriend in years....

3:32 pm

MimiCat

I have 3 cats, Kate...that's it for me. They were all strays.

3:32 pm

crosshair

lol,sorry,my brother is already married off

3:33 pm

TraderKate

wouldn't want to live in vegtas anyway ;)

3:33 pm

MimiCat

Yes, crossy, doesn't your brother live dangerously close to me? Oh, he's married? Details, details!!!

3:33 pm

MimiCat

Kidding, of course!

3:33 pm

crosshair

funny now that i think of itbut both our ladies proposed to us.they did not wait for the guys to eventually figure it out lol

3:34 pm

crosshair

brother lives in henderson NV

3:34 pm

TraderKate

well if anyone knows of nice single guy, let me know ;)

3:34 pm

MimiCat

The romance ship sailed for me already....sailed, sank, buried under the sand...GONE. I'm done.

3:34 pm

TraderKate

<----- willing to relocate, britain high on tthe list of places to live...

3:35 pm

MimiCat

Kate, you and I have something else in common. Someone also gifted me with my Babble membership anonymously....I am forever grateful.

3:36 pm

TraderKate

hahaha mimi - never married here, close a few times, now think i may be too "settled in my ways" to share a life - unless he was litterally a soulmate. secure enough not to "need" a man to be complete

3:36 pm

crosshair

i have a valid UK passport.let me ask the wife.....sorry,kate ,she said no

3:36 pm

TraderKate

i am very grateful too mimi, i wish i knew who it was...

Soodle

Hey everybody! My daughter Sarah, 6ft blonde bombshell, currently in Greece, got the results of her final college exams yesterday! Seems she wangled a First Class Hons degree. Not one to crow, I posted a pic on FB of a 2 yr old Sarah, looking like the town rat-catcher, remarking that the urchin in the pic was now a bachelor of Science. Its got loads of likes! :-)!

5:16 pm

Congratulations to Sarah

hey all

5:36 pm

stidmama

hey sue -- any twisters touch down in your area?

5:37 pm

uusue2

hi, stid! There was one about 20 miles south of us but none right here. So far.

5:37 pm

stidmama

Soodles, time for another official "proud mama look" Not only was your child a darling little one, but she is as smart as anything as an adult! :-)

5:37 pm

stidmama

you're hunkered down in a closet in the basement, RIGHT? *stern worried mama look*

5:38 pm

uusue2

Big storm fired up west of us, came our way, then split in half, one went north and one south of us

5:38 pm

uusue2

haha, not at the moment but am keeping careful watch on the weather maps

5:39 pm

uusue2

and the place to go is the closet under the basement stairs - well protected from everything

5:39 pm

stidmama

hmph. weather maps. *folds arms disapprovingly*

*secretly puts air bubble over sue's house and directs all storms to places where no one gets hurt*

5:40 pm

uusue2

NIU has an excellent meteorologist and I'm signed up for all his weather alerts, they have real-time maps on their web site

5:41 pm

stidmama

yeah, but it would take a real scientist to understand it all.... :-P

5:41 pm

stidmama

*giggle*

5:41 pm

stidmama

just be safe, you and frank, okay?

5:41 pm

uusue2

we will. And we are keeping a close eye on the dog!

5:41 pm

stidmama

good thing, too, silly puppy!

5:41 pm

stidmama

a sensible dog would hide under the bed...

5:42 pm

uusue2

she's right here with us. I think the problem yesterday was that we weren't home.

5:42 pm

stidmama

I am glad she was found, such a worry when they go walkabouts without you.

5:42 pm

uusue2

Frank was outside earlier when it was starting to get thundery (in the distance) and she wouldn't stay inside, insisted on coming out to be with him. I think it's a comfort thing.

5:43 pm

uusue2

yes, we were very glad she was found too!! And we won't be leaving the door to the porch open any more when we go out.

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

hello again...hi stiddy!

5:44 pm

uusue2

hi jill!

5:46 pm

5:50 pm

stidmama

YAY sue!!!

5:50 pm

stidmama

hey hilly, sorry trying to multitask

5:51 pm

stidmama

um, jilly...

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...trust me, I have been called much worse this week...

5:56 pm

stidmama

down to 23, will list so I can finish. Need to get to the store and grab some supplies for Matthew. He gets home tonight and will be staying at a new place -- and doesn't know if he even has a pillow or blankets! *sigh*

5:56 pm

stidmama

I have blankets, but he needs a pillow...

5:57 pm

Jillyjill

He's not staying with you guys!

5:57 pm

stidmama

unless Tom can leave work a little early and stop at the store to get one. *thinking*

5:57 pm

stidmama

no jilly, he can't stay here. We don't have a place for him!

5:59 pm

Jillyjill

ah...

5:59 pm

stidmama

yes, tom can get a pillow. *relieved look*

6:00 pm

Jillyjill

Yay! *Props stiddy's feet up again*

6:01 pm

stidmama

exactly. the inconstant weather pushed my head over the edge again. I just took excedrin a little while ago, but the migraine got ahead of me while I took a nap. Seems that being tired mid-day is preceding a lot of the migraines now.

6:02 pm

Jillyjill

Oh wow, just seeing the forest fire in Colorado Springs...poor cosdem!

6:02 pm

stidmama

yes, and they are just starting the fire season. It's going to be a difficult summer, I think with tornados in the mid-section and fires in the West and ... probably melting sidewalks in the East.

6:03 pm

Jillyjill

So far so good here BUT way down on water...not enough snow this winter and not enough rain this spring...not looking very good.

6:06 pm

stidmama

I am sorry to hear that Jilly -- we have a decent snowpack thanks to the late rains while it was cold, but the rains also allowed extra growth of understory plants like grasses that will be fuel later on

6:06 pm

stidmama

I hope that it won't be as horrible as it seems it "wants" to be...

6:06 pm

stidmama

going to list, 22 to go and feeling as if I really would like to finish two days in a row.

6:07 pm

Jillyjill

All I know is summers are so much different now then when I was a child. And if it's really another bad smokey season, we will just have to look into air conditioning

6:07 pm

Jillyjill

I've listed sometime ago...23 here

6:08 pm

Dorens

hi all. 25 and thinking of listing, but reluctant

6:09 pm

stidmama

yes, summers are hotter here now, and drier earlier than they used to be (most years) and winters are drier except where they are stormier...

6:09 pm

stidmama

hey doren! ((hugs)) school year almost over? I am officially unemployed/on vacation now.

6:10 pm

Jillyjill

HI dorens!

6:10 pm

Dorens

hi stid. No, I go straight through the 26th... kind of a long year here! but certainly winding down

6:10 pm

Dorens

tough day today, though. mom of three kids in our school died monday morning... wake was this afternoon. sad, but they have a great dad and that helps

6:11 pm

stidmama

I am so sorry, doren -- that is a hard loss for everyone in a school community.

6:12 pm

stidmama

and a long year for you, to be sure -- Grant's last finals are tomorrow.

6:13 pm

Dorens

it truly is a community. small school, but i've taken up a collection and already the staff has contributed over $400. i'm touched by the generosity of our teachers (ad we've been working with no contract all year)

6:13 pm

Dorens

is he a junior this year stid?

6:13 pm

stidmama

yes, and next year will do running start (except for band, he wants to continue with wind ensemble)

6:14 pm

Dorens

how's the house situation now?

6:14 pm

stidmama

demolition on Monday. We'll go out tomorrow and Friday (tom is taking those days off) and move things away from the foundation -- the things we want to keep, and then we can start thinking about starting over.

6:15 pm

Dorens

wow- i'd think that is tough emotionally..?

6:16 pm

stidmama

yes, very.

6:16 pm

Jillyjill

(((stiddy)))

6:17 pm

Dorens

((((stid))))) the positive slant though is that you will end up with a dream house?

6:17 pm

stidmama

I am hoping it will be easier once the old house is gone. When that awful reminder is gone.

6:18 pm

stidmama

It won't be a dream house, doren, I didn't have the time to really sit down and think about the design and the placement. I didn't have time to push for the things I really want. But it will be a house, and that will be good enough.

6:18 pm

stidmama

The insurance company only helps pay additional rent for what they consider a reasonable time... and originally they thought that would be the end of June. I think we now have assurance that we have shelter through the end of the summer.

6:18 pm

Dorens

yes, we had a fire in my school district... apartments... two of our families lost their homes two or three years back, and it was on the main road and we all had to pass it on our way in and out of school. what a relief it was when they finally took it down

6:19 pm

Dorens

come east and visit new jersey/new york this summer!

6:19 pm

Dorens

you have a place to stay here.. plenty of extra bedrooms.

6:19 pm

6:21 pm

6:21 pm

6:21 pm

Dorens

hi bugs. you wanna come too? (oh stid, really? wish you could/would. i'm serious about having a place for you to stay!!)

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

I like the hours and no call, love the patient care...might not be the best week to ask..it's been pretty rough

6:25 pm

Jillyjill

I have worked in almost every area of nursing in my 33 years

6:25 pm

Jillyjill

6:25 pm

6:26 pm

phandmd

I am almost 50 years old, so I wont get that much experience.

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

It truly adventageous to work in general nursing. You get so much knowledge and experience.

6:27 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo phand!!!! You are going to be GREAT. You bring so much experience already to the jobs you will have.

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

phandmd

no luck so far.

6:31 pm

Jillyjill

mi6 is the term for jewish bath

6:31 pm

Lizlin

Not surprisingly I found that one early on!

6:31 pm

Jillyjill

and add a vowel to the fur coat for the mi5

6:32 pm

stidmama

the mi 6 is a "plural" off a 5 that looks like the "least amount" of something abbreviated

6:32 pm

periwinkle

dodging thunderstorms at the moment - they come at us and then miss. Lots of excitement nearby, none here.

7:11 pm

blueheron

I'm going through the same thing with my brother...

7:11 pm

blueheron

sorry , I was wondering about Frank.

7:12 pm

uusue2

Ah, he is doing ok, just finished chemo. Now waiting for the side effects to wear off. Scan scheduled in a couple of weeks so we are chewing our nails in the meantime.

7:13 pm

blueheron

my brother will be finishing his chemo next week.

7:13 pm

uusue2

good luck to him! What kind of cancer does he have?

7:15 pm

ah, that's a tough one. Frank was lucky in that they were able to remove everything surgically (although it had started to spread so he was stage 4, hence the chemo)

7:15 pm

blueheron

he is stage 3

7:16 pm

blueheron

"Minveryork" was almost in the grid ("Minvelyerk" close enough?)

7:21 pm

uusue2

7:21 pm

rururocks

nrkii is in the grid

7:22 pm

blueheron

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Big hockey game is about to start. Anybody here interested in the Stanley Cup Finals?

7:22 pm

uusue2

so she is, ruru! I missed that too.

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, Ruru!

7:22 pm

uusue2

Lots of interest around here, scrabs, but I am not a big hockey fan

7:23 pm

blueheron

Boston go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:23 pm

uusue2

Giant German? No, maybe I have to be your friend to see it

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

Patrick Kane is from Buffalo.

7:30 pm

gremlinn

Kermit's in the grid.

7:30 pm

gremlinn

And "Mini-Me"!

7:31 pm

HarryHood

7:31 pm

HarryHood

7:31 pm

uusue2

hi, harry!

7:31 pm

HarryHood

I guess it's not scottish enough

7:31 pm

HarryHood

hallo sue :)

7:32 pm

gremlinn

Not to be confused with 'Murican. "I'm a 'Murican! RED WHITE AND BLUE!"

7:32 pm

HarryHood

beautiful pic today , sue

7:32 pm

uusue2

does seem like an odd omission, harry!

7:32 pm

uusue2

thanks, harry, if you go to the site it's actually a movie (it's Mercury, not the moon)

7:33 pm

HarryHood

wasn't there a vermicious knid in one of roald dahl's books?

7:33 pm

HarryHood

and yet knid isn't good either!

7:33 pm

HarryHood

I think the K was pronounced

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

TWINKY is not accepted

7:35 pm

HarryHood

but Yodels would be :) since drakes went out of business

7:35 pm

gremlinn

How about "Mervyn"? (Mervyn's was a chain of department stores, until 2008.)

7:35 pm

uusue2

but it is very close to some actual words, scrabs :-)

7:35 pm

HarryHood

I bought t-shirts at mervyn's in Gwinnett Cty, GA once.

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

Aha, I need to look further. TY.

7:36 pm

HarryHood

31 to go, and nothing is appearing to me

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

I have 29 and am stuck

7:38 pm

HarryHood

missing 9 Ms!

7:38 pm

HarryHood

7 now :)

7:38 pm

gremlinn

Try some variations of changing -e endings to -y or -ey

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

And I should stop typing V words.

7:40 pm

gremlinn

Vely vely wise!

7:40 pm

uusue2

velly indeed!

7:40 pm

gremlinn

Actually, there is a V word, "vehm", but it's not in Enable apparently. It was a word in some dictionary, I think.

7:42 pm

gremlinn

How about eeny, meeny, and miny?

7:44 pm

uusue2

I was surprised that it didn't take meeny, but did take the very similar me5

7:44 pm

gremlinn

"meikle" is almost in there.

7:44 pm

gremlinn

Scottish word

7:45 pm

gremlinn

Also spelled mickle

7:55 pm

Minveryork

HarryHood, I'm trying to do a Babble meetup in Vermont in August. I see you live in CT. Would you be able to attend it

7:55 pm

HarryHood

7:58 pm

HarryHood

the first me5/12 that is

7:58 pm

dan2bit

evening all! right two columns done

7:58 pm

Minveryork

I'm doing it in Burlington.Do you know where that isRed Barn said that she has a cottage near there & she might be there. So far I've had no definite responses so who knows

7:58 pm

rururocks

nope no mistake

7:59 pm

gremlinn

The first me5/12 is a very common word compared to many others.

7:59 pm

rururocks

me5 a badge on a boy scout

7:59 pm

HarryHood

phooey

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

hello dan2 and GO!!

7:59 pm

Minveryork

That me /12 refers to worth or superior quality HarryHood.

8:00 pm

HarryHood

aaaagggghhhhh

8:00 pm

cute ruru, a fishy...

8:02 pm

HarryHood

ooh just got the mi6/45

8:02 pm

Jillyjill

great jewish word...

8:04 pm

gremlinn

Need a vowel for "eruv" which is Hebrew but not in this dictionary I think.

8:04 pm

HarryHood

heh. eruv is hebrew for "loophole"

8:05 pm

HarryHood

DONE

8:07 pm

Jillyjill

WooTWooT WooT harry!!

8:07 pm

MollyL

People kept saying that mi6 sounded like the last name of the Oklahoma City bomber. But the word ends sounding like "ah", doesn't it?

8:08 pm

uusue2

I've usually seen it spelled with an -ah ending

8:08 pm

HarryHood

also, in US, people usually accent the first syllable

8:09 pm

gremlinn

There's also a spelling with -oth! :)

8:09 pm

uusue2

anyway, hi again all, just told Frank it looked like there was a break in the storm so he could walk the dog - was I wrong!!

8:09 pm

MollyL

Anyway, the bomber's name ends sounding like "ay" so I thought it was kind of confusing.

8:09 pm

uusue2

He got about half way down the block, there was a huge crash of thunder, and it rained like crazy for about 3 minutes. Oh well.

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

Poor Frank!

8:10 pm

MollyL

I've heard these are "no fooling" storms blowing across the country. We get them tomorrow.

8:11 pm

HarryHood

gnight :)

8:11 pm

uusue2

The dog was not happy.

8:11 pm

uusue2

Night, harry!

8:13 pm

Jillyjill

Niters harry!

8:13 pm

MollyL

Well, if it scared the dog, that probably took care of all the elimination function needs. : D

8:14 pm

Jillyjill

I would imagine that would scare it out of him!

8:15 pm

MollyL

Oh, hopefully not Frank. Sue's dog is a girl. : D

8:15 pm

Jillyjill

ooppss

8:16 pm

uusue2

tee hee :-)

8:16 pm

uusue2

and the dog absolutely refused to do anything after that, glued herself to Frank's leg and wanted to go home

8:18 pm

uusue2

but anyway, these storms are very tricky, popping up like so much popcorn - there will be nothing and all of a sudden, blam! Hard to predict.

8:19 pm

Jillyjill

One time we were staying up in Wisconsin at my uncles and a thunderclap hit...the dog and I dove under the table together...

8:21 pm

uusue2

yes, Frank said he and the dog both jumped about a foot!

8:21 pm

MollyL

I am laughing at the media and all their use of "Derecho" after the one that hit our area unexpectedly last year.

8:21 pm

Jillyjill

I love watching them safely inside a house!

8:22 pm

Jillyjill

A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line windstorm that is associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms...

8:23 pm

Jillyjill

Sound about right uusue?

8:24 pm

MollyL

Gotta love Wikipedia : D

8:26 pm

MollyL

They are different than thunderstorms in that they produce incredible wind damage. Similar to hurricane force wind damage.

8:26 pm

gremlinn

Weather.com has this banner:
Dangerous Severe Weather Event Underway

8:27 pm

gremlinn

Hard to get alarmed when they are always posting fluff titled such as "Is This the End of the World?"

8:27 pm

MollyL

I agree Grem. Weather hysterics.

8:32 pm

Jillyjill

As always...otherwise it's not ratings worthy...

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

8:37 pm

Jillyjill

hello jmc!

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

my intern is talking about staying over tomorrow night rather than trying to drive to Harrisonburg in the storm. . .

8:41 pm

rururocks

how much of the east coast is it hitting?

8:41 pm

MollyL

Congratulations to Lickety. His site just rolled over to 2,000,000 visitors.

8:42 pm

rururocks

so what so has Kim kardashian.. just not her web-site :D

8:43 pm

MollyL

Ah true. You can't beat the Kartrashians when it comes to hits.

8:45 pm

rururocks

*watches joke sail over Molly's head*

8:46 pm

MollyL

Nothing sailing here, I responded to your joke. I know what kind of hits you were referring to. : P

8:46 pm

rururocks

ah

8:46 pm

MollyL

As for the weather, these storms are supposed to roll from Chicago to DC and up the East Coast.

8:47 pm

Jillyjill

brb..

8:47 pm

rururocks

not again! I hope it's not too bad

8:49 pm

MollyL

We have had so much rain already that the danger of flooding is as likely as the damage from high winds. And when the ground is saturated, that makes for more trees getting uprooted.

8:49 pm

rururocks

ugh... i'm sorry you guys

8:49 pm

rururocks

it's windy here if that helps :D

8:54 pm

MollyL

Here is a shot of an uprooted 100 year old tree I took after a storm about three years ago.

9:09 pm

rururocks

9:10 pm

I'm surprised he's giving out personal information :D

9:10 pm

Just checked my email & got my 1st response regarding Babble meetup. Please spread the word to others if I'm not in chat log. I do not get here often during the week.

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

LOL!

9:55 pm

G&T sounds good! I am having tea. Sigh.

9:55 pm

Alcohol consumption often results in something ending in arts that isn't terribly pleasant.....no more elaboration necessary.

11:28 pm

stidmama

my kid is home... :-)

11:28 pm

jesdraggon

well, he didn't get an answer until quarter after 10, so we very nearly went to bed and defaulted to "no, not going to help you"

11:28 pm

jesdraggon

other than that, he has been fine

11:30 pm

jesdraggon

his girlfriend is a twit and refuses to speak to him or generally acknowledge his existence in the presence of his dad though, she'd rather giggle with her other friends and ignore him - this rudeness has consistently happened every time she's been around us, even when we call her on it she keeps ignoring him.

11:31 pm

jesdraggon

we asked him if he enjoys being ignored and treated rudely, because hey, if that's his kink, whatever, but it would just piss me off.

11:37 pm

stidmama

wow... I am sorry that it's being so hard on you.

11:38 pm

yes, he does -- and he will get tired of it, I am sure.
