Hi kids.

hi scrabbs...
6:57 am
Scrabbler
Hi bojazz
6:58 am
Scrabbler
I am shocked that no one was here for 3 hours. I wonder if Babble was down.
6:59 am
bojazz
more often there are many large gaps during the day...
7:05 am
car.eeyore
Good morning!
7:05 am
car.eeyore
((Scrabbs)) How goes the good fight?
7:05 am

Hi bojazz!

car, appropriate icon for today...
7:06 am
car.eeyore
Today and everyday! :)
7:07 am
bojazz
tru dat! ...
7:07 am
car.eeyore
This is such a hard day for me. I feel so unworthy.
7:07 am
car.eeyore
I can't imagine seeing my son go through that pain and suffering.
7:09 am
bojazz
understand ... but isn't that the crux of Good Friday?
7:10 am
car.eeyore
I just get very emotional about it.
7:11 am
bojazz
more people should, I think...
7:11 am
car.eeyore
Last year, at the Good Friday Tenebrae service, my reading was the part when Jesus tells his mom and his disciple they are family now. I was a mess while reading.
7:12 am
car.eeyore
I agree...if that is their faith. I am amazed at the numbers that show up on the "good" days (Christmas and Easter) and how few show up to the other services this week.
7:12 am
Scrabbler
I had to send an email.
7:13 am
car.eeyore
I think it is a powerful time to reflect as a Christian on the life you are living and what Christ did for you (all of us). It's just too hard for some people to face I guess.
7:13 am
bojazz
we call those "low Sunday" ...
7:14 am
Scrabbler
I am doing very well, Car. But our partner's son has been in the children's hospital since Saturday so the rest of us are working more hours to cover for him. we have things covered through Monday so far. Pray for Joseph.
7:15 am
car.eeyore
Truth be told, though, I did not come to this realization in my own journey until I was in my 30's. Everyone's path is different.
7:15 am
car.eeyore
Oh dear, Scrabs. I will certainly lift him up.
7:15 am
car.eeyore
I'll be at work today and the Prayer Watch is going on, so I will go into the Sanctuary and lift him up. Anyone else need prayers today?
7:16 am
ivesy3
i do car, for my son, that he will go into rehab
7:16 am
car.eeyore
Oh, Ivesy. I'm so sorry. You got it.
7:17 am
ivesy3
ty..i let go and let god..its in his hands
7:17 am
car.eeyore
Do you want to give me his first name or I can just pray for "Ivesy's son".
7:17 am
car.eeyore
So hard to do, but stay strong. You will be in my daily prayers.
7:17 am
ivesy3
his name is jason...
7:18 am
Scrabbler
Yes, ivesy. Your son has to follow his own path. You cannot control him.
7:18 am
car.eeyore
Scrabs, you're on the list too.
7:19 am
ivesy3
i know,scrabs..its so hard..he is broken,i cant fix him....
7:19 am
car.eeyore
((ivesy))
7:22 am
Scrabbler
He must ask for help.
7:25 am
ivesy3
he goes to the va for counseling, but wont go to rehab when they suggest it.. he has been in rehab 3times need long term care. he knows it, but wont go.. problem is,when he does go he can walkout at anytime
7:27 am
Scrabbler
He knows what he needs to do but is afraid ...or too weak..to take the needed steps. It is sad when people allow addictions to rule their lives but think about how common it is.
7:29 am
ivesy3
i am on a site, addicts mom,so many have lost their kids. to overdoses.. so sad
7:30 am
Scrabbler
Yes, it sure is.

7:53 am
72 Temple Owl

7:54 am
72 Temple Owl

7:55 am
car.eeyore
My brother's wedding is in November. Trying desperately to lose weight before then...not doing too well, so I need to refocus!
7:56 am
car.eeyore
Hubby is down 30 lb. I'm down 6 lb. :(
7:56 am
72 Temple Owl
it is really tasty and easy, car. judging the ingredients, not so bad. has protein
7:56 am
car.eeyore
I tend to do much better with a "goal" to work for. But the increased stress here has sent me into some heavy-duty stress eating.
7:57 am
car.eeyore
This too shall pass.
7:57 am
72 Temple Owl
lol men seem to get the easy way for weight loss
7:57 am
Scrabbler
Men can lose weight so much more easily because of their muscle mass. If they lift weights, bam, they lose weight quickly.
7:57 am
car.eeyore
I'll put it in my recipe builder and see what it comes out to.
7:57 am
car.eeyore
He's been at it since October.
7:57 am

Do you want me to run the numbers now? Do you want to know?
8:01 am
72 Temple Owl
do not use that recipe, go to the website and look for bread and butter pudding. i now remember i hated the hawaiian bread. bigger bolder baking is much better
8:01 am
72 Temple Owl
i will edit my profile.
8:01 am
72 Temple Owl
and remove it.
8:02 am
car.eeyore
looking now....
8:02 am
72 Temple Owl
her uses less milk and bread
8:03 am
72 Temple Owl
so less calories and fat
8:04 am
car.eeyore
Got the recipe...plugging it in....
8:05 am
72 Temple Owl
good! it seems to me her photos and text indicate more custard than bread, i wrote to her and she answered. oar i think id the large sizes of opan bread here in US
8:06 am

Hi Nutty
8:13 am
72 Temple Owl
car is going to spin class?
8:13 am
car.eeyore
Ummmm....its more a meal than a dessert, that is for sure. 13 grams of protein though!
8:13 am
evanonut
everyone have big weekend plans? i was thinking i'd mow.
8:13 am
car.eeyore
Oh hell no!
8:14 am
evanonut
i wish i could do it. the short time i did it had a big impact.
8:14 am
72 Temple Owl
car, i think it is 1/3 cup
8:14 am
car.eeyore
Living on the "wild side", Evanout?!?!? :p
8:14 am
72 Temple Owl
i used 2% as always
8:15 am
evanonut
indeed! i'm a wild woman
8:15 am
72 Temple Owl
ok what is the calorie count?
8:15 am
car.eeyore
Well, using 1% lowfat milk, brown sugar to act as the maple syrup and sugar, and egg bread = 406
8:16 am
car.eeyore
So, it would definitely be a meal for me
8:16 am
car.eeyore
Wait...I put in too many raisins...please hold...
8:17 am
72 Temple Owl
i would use regular oatmeal bread sparingly. you can control the butter easily. and 2% milk
8:17 am
car.eeyore
I put in 1/4 c of raisins...waaaaay too many
8:17 am
car.eeyore
That's pretty good!
8:18 am
car.eeyore
I wasn't including butter on the bread...that's why I chose egg bread...already a little sweet.
8:18 am
72 Temple Owl
and i really do not like raisins though i did have some golden and tried a few of them. too many calories
8:19 am
car.eeyore
I could easily skip the raisins, so then its under 200
8:19 am
72 Temple Owl
you will get enough sweet from whatever sweetener you add. regular bread works fine
8:19 am
car.eeyore
I think this will be a great option when I am craving something "naughty"!
8:19 am
72 Temple Owl
and i think i added 10 raisins
8:19 am
car.eeyore
Thank you!

I found it funny.. in all this mess
9:44 am
moolingwa
I heard someone claim that they heard it as an announcement on a SWA flight
9:44 am
zoozzoom
I take it is football related?
9:44 am
moolingwa
united airlines related zoo
9:44 am
bojazz
not funny - Hilarious...
9:44 am
rururocks
no.. it's related to the united flight where the passenger was assaulted zooz
9:44 am
moolingwa
high profile case where someone was forcibly removed from a flight because they oversold it
9:44 am
zoozzoom
Oh is this about the bloke who got dragged off the airplane?
9:45 am
aslindy
hello all
9:45 am
moolingwa
and the airline chose some "volunteers" to remove from the flight
9:45 am

Hello, Aslindy :-)
9:45 am
zoozzoom
I think he is suing the company now.
9:46 am
rururocks
you can bet on that zooz
9:46 am
rururocks
he's going to own his own jet soon
9:46 am
moolingwa
claims he has missing teeth and a concussion
9:46 am
Deeha
And I believe the seats were needed for crew? Even worse
9:47 am
zoozzoom
With all the security and all how on earth can they over book a flight?
9:47 am
rururocks
stupidity zooz
9:47 am
cybernan
United obviously didn't offer a big enough bribe to get him to voluntarily delay his flight -- can't figure out why they didn't pick someone else.
9:47 am
rururocks
they are allowed to NOT Board people if they're oversold.. but this guy was on the planed and seated
9:48 am
rururocks
that is what I wondered Nan.. someone on the crew copped an attitude most likely
9:48 am
moolingwa
it turns out that it is more common than we would expect, I think something like 40,000 passengers affected each year
9:48 am
cybernan
airline regularly overbook, zoom, because they have the percentage of cancellations figured out. Only this time no one cancelled and they had to get a crew to another location.
9:49 am
moolingwa
very poorly handled
9:49 am
zoozzoom
I think all four seats were taken before they decided to remove the passengers.
9:49 am
zoozzoom
Ah i see, Nan.
9:49 am
rururocks
it is actually unbelievable
9:49 am
moolingwa
and initially it appears that the United CEO came out supporting the action internally
9:49 am
rururocks
some of the twitter memes on this are hysterically funny
9:50 am
Deeha
And he was a professionalman not a hoipoloi like me!!
9:51 am
rururocks
I agree with nan.. if they upped the ante to a higher reward someone would have given up their seat and avoided this whole mess
9:51 am
moolingwa
Will likely cost them much more in people electing different airlines
9:51 am
cybernan
one does have to wonder if there was some racial profiling going on, though. I would have thought that when he explained he was a doctor with patients waiting on him at his hospital the next morning, the policy would be to choose someone else.
9:52 am
rururocks
this will be millions for united.. their stock is dropping like a rock
9:52 am
moolingwa
maximum you typically can ask for is 4x the value of the ticket to a max of $1350, but you can sue
9:52 am
moolingwa
but they advise you not to accept any money if you plan on suing
9:53 am
moolingwa
I probably do about 20 - 30 flights a year, never seen anything like this...certainly seen offers of vouchers, but never seen anyone removed
9:53 am
Deeha
I think people sue too easily now but if that was me I'd be shouting where is my lawyer!!!
9:53 am
rururocks
I've seen people freak out in the TSA lines.. but not on a plane except once
9:54 am
cybernan
no one has ever asked me to delay my flight by a day, put me up in a lovely hotel, buy me dinner and hand me a little cash to boot --- wouldn't mind that at all, especially if I was in Paris or Rome!
9:54 am
zoozzoom
I saw lots get upset hen there was snakes on a plane :D
9:55 am

I've been comped a breakfast for one flight, and a hotel for another after I missed connections, but that's about it

there was a scorpion on a flight recently apparently
9:55 am

Samuel L?

9:57 am

mool what color was it?
9:57 am
rururocks
I love him as an actor
9:57 am

looked kind of orangey brown if the picture was real
9:57 am
rururocks
how he didn't win an Oscar for Pulp Fiction I will never figure out
9:57 am

me too ruru
9:58 am

That's the one, Deeha :-)
9:58 am
MLFAN17
that is so scary mool I think the black ones are not poisonous?
9:59 am
moolingwa
I believe they're all venomous to some extent
9:59 am
Sam
The whole thing was done by algorithm. One algorithm that capped the bump bribe at $800, and when there were no takers another algorithm was run that chose the "least valuable" passengers based on frequency of flights, money spent, etc.
9:59 am
MLFAN17
they are scary looking anyway mool
9:59 am
Sam
Ain't technology wonderful?
10:00 am
rururocks
yes.. that is supposedly how they picked him.. but he was obviously upset.. why didn't they just choose someone else
10:00 am
cybernan
don't have an ed 8 mlf
10:00 am
rururocks
magazines have new ed8's every month
10:00 am
MLFAN17
why did they drag him off to begin with .. did he refuse to leave opr was their no explanation given?
10:01 am
mael
it's less about them choosing someone else and more them needing to just raise the amount of the payout
10:01 am
mael
but they didn't want to spend the cash, so....
10:01 am
Sam
The algorithm wouldn't allow it. He defied an order from the crew. That made him a criminal. They called the airport police. He defied their order to deplane. That triggered their violence. Everyone did their job correctly. It's just that the jobs are distorted and evil.
10:02 am
Sam
The algorithm is king. There is no appeal.
10:02 am
MLFAN17
agreed sam
10:02 am
rururocks
if a seated customer says NO.. they should have upped the ante and tried to get someone else. It was just handled so stupidly its incredible
10:03 am
zoozzoom
Correct or not it was still rough approach in the end.
10:03 am
mael
dragging him off was criminal and battery
10:03 am
Sam
If decisions were being made by humans, it might have turned out better. The decisions were made by algorithms and laws.
10:03 am
MLFAN17
ruru it wasn't exactly stupid as much as it was unfair and looked like discrimination. they should have asked everyone if
10:03 am
rururocks
not really sam.. he didn't violate anything. he was in his rights as a seated passenger.. he was calm and not a problem until they tried to remove him. He is going to win when it comes to that
10:03 am
MLFAN17
agreed mael
10:03 am
cybernan
another case of security guards bullying because they think they can get away with it
10:03 am
mael
i understand that he could be asked to deplane, contractually, but that's not the way to do it
10:04 am
MLFAN17
cyber the main reason I wont fly is that security stuff
10:04 am
Sam
The law says differently. The flight crew is king. Any resistance to their orders is considered criminal.
10:04 am
zoozzoom
A paying customer at that, Ruru.
10:04 am
MLFAN17
they should have moved on with someone else...
10:04 am
rururocks
that isn't true in this case sam..
10:04 am
rururocks
read up on it.. this guy was in his rights to stay on the plane
10:04 am
Sam
BTW, I agree with all of you. I'm just pointing out the facts. It is all atrocious, and moreso for being so coldly computer/law driven.
10:05 am
rururocks
I've read several posts by several attorneys that specialize in Flight law
10:06 am
zoozzoom
If anyone on that plane was scared of flying I am sure they will not be trying to fly again.
10:06 am
Sam
It will be interesting to see what happens in court, especially after they expose the doctor's nasty criminal history.
10:06 am
cybernan
you have to remember that although the airline crew called them in, it was airport security personel that made the decision to drag him from his seat and handle him so roughly. The crew culpable in that they stood by and watched instead of calling a halt to it.
10:06 am
rururocks
that will have nothing to do with it Sam .. the victim has two great attorneys.
10:06 am
MLFAN17
all passengers are in their rights to stay on a flight I just wish someone had volunteered to leave the plane instead of letting things escalate the way it did
10:07 am
rururocks
his history has no bearing on this situation.. shady as it is
10:07 am
Sam
If the doc takes the stand, there's a chance the defense attorney could cross-examine him into a corner.
10:08 am
MLFAN17
agreed cyber
10:08 am
rururocks
that will likely make United look even worse
10:08 am
cybernan
I don't think his previous criminal record will be alloed into evidence
10:09 am
Uneaixoise
it's already out there -- was all over the twittersphere
10:09 am
rururocks
they don't ever check my previous criminal history before I board :D
10:10 am
mael
it's irrelevant
10:10 am
cybernan
off to get some breakfast
10:10 am
mael
he could be a convicted murderer and you couldn't beat him up to get him out a seat
10:10 am
Deeha
it will probably all be settled quietly out of court
10:10 am
Uneaixoise
i agree, deeha
10:10 am
mael
that's not how the law works, thankfully
10:11 am
evanonut
i thought i read that that wasn't his criminal record and that they'd dug up info on the wrong doctor.
10:11 am
Uneaixoise
checked with snopes
10:12 am
amelu0218
back for a sec and caught up on thread. On any flight I've been on that has been "overbooked", the flight attendant has stood at the front of the plane with his/her compartment mic and explained the situation and compensation and asked for volunteers to deplane. Never saw a problem, someone always stood up and took the bait. Apparently this was not the case but the way it "used to be" made more sense.
10:12 am
evanonut
well either way, he still has rights. and if he is a foul person, that does not negate his rights.
10:13 am
rururocks
exactly evan and Mael
10:13 am
zoozzoom
I agree, Evanonut.
10:13 am
Uneaixoise
apparently one thing that worked against United being able to find passengers willing to deboard was that the next flight wasn't until the next day
10:14 am
rururocks
yes and much later in the day too une
10:14 am
Uneaixoise
aahhh ok
10:15 am

if it goes to trial, good luck finding objective jurors
10:15 am

10:18 am
rururocks
yes ruby
10:19 am
zoozzoom
I think the next line should of been..Let us count the ways.
10:19 am
rururocks
$400 to start and then $800.. and no takers
10:19 am
rubyfoo
And if the flight was the next day, a hotel room as well?
10:19 am
rubyfoo
Thank you
10:22 am
rururocks
probably a dinner voucher as well
10:22 am
mrloser
I flew every week for 2 years, 2 flights each way and I never once saw airline folks ask for volunteers AFTER boarding. It was ALWAYS prior to boarding. Their computer tells the agent that there wont be enough seats so they start asking for vols while everyone is still waiting to board. This was simply agent incompetence. His background has no effect on the outcome. I also read that the security guys were not allowed to get on the plane and actual police should have been called. He will be paid alot of $$$ eventually. The United prez should also be fired for his idiotic tweets that he had to back off of. New 2017 word re-accomodate ??? Sounds like 1984 word.
10:23 am
rururocks
(well said mr loser) United is up shit creek
10:25 am
zoozzoom
That is what I could not understand. How could they let the four extra passengers get on the plane when they knew how many staff they needed for each flight. Stupidity.
10:26 am
rururocks
yes.. their chance to avoid this was at the gate.. once he passed the gates he had rights.. they accepted him as a passenger
10:27 am
mrloser
Also, I have seen (many times) airline personnel from other airlines get seated on a different airline to get them someplace, so why didnt these 4 United folks just get placed on another flight United or not?? It would have been way cheaper than whatbthey will be pating.
10:27 am
rururocks
yes.. absolutely
10:28 am
rururocks
it was also about a three hour drive in a rental car
10:29 am

But these idiots will keep there jobs and I still can't find one. probably too much common sense. ??? LOL

and the photo is sideways. it is my husband and me dressed in costumes.
5:42 pm

i noticed that lately when i try to look at photos on here Mkg.
5:43 pm
lorena_k
Blows them up and makes them look odd. Not sure how to fix it either just thought I would say you are not alone.
5:43 pm
mkg
ty lorena. also why is it sideways? it was right on the computer and still is.
5:43 pm
mkg
maybe i will try to upload it again
5:45 pm
lorena_k
I am going to try to reduce and save mine again. Maybe upload it to a server first then link it here. Not sure on the sideways thing...maybe the size of it made it that way?
5:47 pm
cybernan
you need to use your photo editing program to reduce the size of your photo
5:48 pm
cybernan
300 x 300 px will be ok
5:57 pm
MollyL
Oh my goodness gracious. It's wonderful when someone finds out they are not invisible. Thank God for positive posting.
5:57 pm
cybernan
hi molly
6:00 pm
MollyL
If you don't have photo editing software, right click your image, click OPEN WITH, then click on PAINT. Click IMAGE, then RESIZE. Select PIXELS then resize your image to 350 x 350 or however it will resize so that 350 is your largest dimension.
6:01 pm
MollyL
You can't just upload pictures from your cell phone here. The dimensions are way too big.
6:02 pm
cybernan
didn't realize paint would do that -- learn something new here every day :-)

Thanks for the help
6:31 pm
cybernan
hi ru :-)
6:32 pm

Okay, I have never understood the difference between getting clued for a word and looking it up. In my small mind, help is help.

7:13 pm

Thanks, Une for the congrats. I do love it when I finish. Couldn't sleep last night, so I started on this big one around 3:30! Went to work at 8 & have now finished. Am ready to crash!
7:21 pm
LuvWordGames
I work on Babble when I can't sleep too, had a big grid for that this time
7:24 pm
hurshy
sorry about that st5/10 folks. probably the reason it isn't in those word lists is because a bunch of us asked Dr God to add it at some point, cause we were all like THIS IS SO A WORD! it's a medical thing that they put in clogged arteries to open them back up. it's like the one word that's ben artificially "added" to this particular game.
7:25 pm
lynxxx
Moo - there is a en9.54
7:25 pm
LuvWordGames
well I agree hursh that it's a word so I have no problem with that
7:32 pm
scribekd
Please don't apologize. On many other grids, I've found it-this time I just couldn't see it. But it is a word, for sure.
7:37 pm
hurshy
there are others we haven't added - a lot of them are also medical, but cooking is another area with a lot of vocab that ain't in enable
7:38 pm
hurshy
whereas all the freaking obscure biology terms are included, and hardly any of us know them
7:39 pm
lynxxx
