New puzzle!

Jacula

As I was saying, Tuva's posts to Miyavi really p*ssed me off. She's 13 years' old, for Gawd's sake. If she feels she has problems they need listening to, even if it's only a zit in the wrong place before a hot date! What was that man thinking of when he told she only imagines she has a problem? Sorry! I'm still so mad about that that I've carried it over to next grid.

They are already playing up the next episode of Cap'n Jack. Was seriously irked when I found out the show date is July 7th..........
12:08 am
Jacula

Why was that, BJ?

Babbler

Jac, I don't know how other people see Tuva, but my take is his sense of humour doesn't dovetail with the rest of us. He has this 'thing' with a 'religion' (a satire of some sort) which he makes constant reference to. Sometimes, people engage with him - sometimes out of frustration, other times it's just banter. But overall, people are being very generous and trying very hard not to be offended when he pushes his message about the 'one true god' of his 'religion'. I haven't seen his post to Miya yet, but I am sure it was probably flippant and he (I hope) didn't mean it.

Jac - I have met so many people like that - People who imagine themselves superior because they have found a way to put down a large group of people as inferior; In this case, people who beleive in God, because it's not "logical". It's just as fundamentalist as fundamentalist religions - "My way is right and your way is wrong".

Babbler - I did not see any flippancy in Tuva's messages to Miy. As far as I could tell, he was telling her she only had a problem becasue she thought she did and that he had no problems 'cos he 'has a life'. She's 13 for God's sake, if there were any nuances in his messages, I would hope that she's too young and unaffected to understand them yet.

This comes up with lots of different 3-groups I'm involved in. The bottom line--we don't really know each other. We should make an effort to be civil, and we should let the stuff that offens us roll off our backs. It's a game on the Internet, for crying out loud, not a support group.

Every now and then I choose to make a comment about my religion in a post. That is MY choice. And I realize that others may choose to say something unpleasant about my religion. We should be civil.

Personally, I think the FSM website is hillarious. It's a spoof on Intelligent Design. But that's just my opinion. I don't believe in the thing. But I still think it's funny. But that's just me.

Tuva - I'm not ssure what planet you live on. All Miy did was to hint that she had a problem. In your world, so it would seem, any porblem she might have is only in her own mind and of her own making. That is utter and total crap! I don't care if she only has a spot on her chin or on the end of her nose. She's a kid, she has a problem and she wants to talk about it. There is nothing wrong with that.

1:22 am
Babbler

that's not quite what happened, Tuva, and you know it. but the chat log is there for all to read, if they wish. I won't continue this any further, as my fellow buddies are getting upset. I'm wound up too and it's not doing me any good either. Tuva, I don't think you're being very nice.
1:22 am
stillcrazy

Next life I'm gonna skip the kids and go right to the grandkids.
1:23 am
kakamolaka

good lord jacula. have you *ever* chatted before?
1:23 am
mab

Exactly what I have been thinking regarding maturity, Sprite!

And actually, Miyavi is pretty well protected when she's here.
1:23 am
Now_a_Pumpkin

I'm all about the Oreos today, Sprite ... as a prodigal babbler rather unused to such long chat threads, I need the sugar!
1:23 am
Debs40ish

Wow Tuva you sound a hunk....lol
1:23 am
Tuva

I do have an adult child.

Sorry, I don't count her as a kid, cuz she has a degree and a real job. I have removed the "no kids" from my bio.
Are we all happy now?
1:24 am

1:24 am
kakamolaka

1:24 am
Tuva

Babbler,

What exactly is your problem with how I handled it?

She CREATED the problem (aka drama) that she talked about.

I simply pointed out that SHE created it.
1:24 am
sprite

WTG kaka.
Please guys... can we stop paying so much attention to a pain in the butt? That whole "you create your own life/problem/whatever" stuff goes hand in hand with "what you turn your attention to, grows".
1:24 am
Jacula

Kaka whatsit - yes,I have chatted before for many years and I have NEVER come across anything like that stuff to a 13-yr-old kid.
1:24 am

ok, so you obviously realize that you can't change a person (for better or worse) through a chat site...
1:27 am

Oh, I am really sorry about this, guys, but I can't let this assualt on Miyavi go unchecked.

But checked it is now, by all of us, I would hope. DR_God, TAKE NOTE!

1:30 am
Jacula

Tuva - for as long as you keep challenging me I will keep slapping you back. For as long as you have no regard for kids or anyone else with problems, then I will keep punching your nose. Now please go away for the moment.

Tor........ I`m a fool for you :)
1:31 am
Tuva

Jacula,

I am sorry that you were abused as a kid, but this is NOT your fight.

You can't change the past by trying to stick up for some other underaged kid that you feel will bring you salvation of some kind for what you have suffered.

Get over yourself and mind your own business!
1:32 am
stillcrazy

LOL
1:32 am
Tuva

Jacula,

I find you being angry as mildly amusing.
1:32 am

I do have regard for my fellow Babblers, but I will not see a child be belittled by someone on here.

harpjane

Jac--Watch and Learn:
if you read back in the log, you'll notice that Tuva was trying to bait ME, not you. I was happily reading my book and thought I'd check in for a few before bedtime. You'll also notice, that I didn't answer Tuva, and he stopped going after me.

Besides, he's drunk. He told us so. This is a game on the Internet, not a forum on true meaning of life....

Off to bed.
1:40 am
Jacula

Tuva - all I really wanted to say in the first place was that what we possibly have here is a 13-yr-old girl. She says she has a problem We don't yet know what it is. Could be a huge zit on the end of her nose when she has a hot date looming, could be the fact that she does not have a hot date looming, or even something like she's forgotten to get sausages in for the family breakfast. Point is, to her, it's a problem. But, due to you, we didn't even get to hear what the problem was, did we?
1:40 am

No matter what you try to say here... you are NOT minding your own business.
You have NO business taking issue with me on this matter.

Step off.

1:45 am
Jacula

HarpJane - you mean he's yet another internet troll? Well, I thought I recognised that kind of scum after all these years. But maybe I did not, this time? Perhaps my mothering instinct overcame that. Well, I'm sorry if I spoiled the log for all you you, but all I could see was someone trying to take advantage of a child. And I wlll make no apologies for trying to defend her.
1:46 am
sprite

No one asks for apologies, Jacula. Just begging to stop.
1:46 am
Tuva

Jacula,

I am not an troll.

I am simply one who is honest enough to tell a child when they are creating their OWN hell on earth.

Sadly, you are too patronizing to do the same.
1:47 am
Jacula

And. by the way, Tuva - I have EVERY RIGHT to take issue miwth you on this.
1:48 am
Tuva

Jacula,

How was I trying to take advantage of her by allowing her to see that she can build a world to suit her word? By telling her that her word creates her world I am telling her a truth that you are too cowardly to tell her yourself because you don't believe it.

Truth is: Your word creates your world!
1:48 am

BUT NOT WITH ALL THE REST OF US WHO DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU ANYMORE...EITHER ONE OF YOU!

Just cuz you got pregnant and crapped out a kid does not give you the right to intervene in the life of another human being.

Ah, Woulf, I love the company :)
Let's swim.
1:49 am

All I will say to you, is please steer cleasr of Miya.

It shouldn't be necessary, stillcrazy, but you are right, it seems to go on forever.

Jacula,

It is because it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

1:58 am
Tuva

Grey,

Just because I am not suckered in by Jacula's cry for attention does not make me to blame.

She is attacking me and it is NONE of her business.
1:59 am

You have had your share and then some on the attacking!
1:59 am
Tuva

Jacula,

ALL that you have done is cause problems here on the site.
Y ou have done NOTHING for Miya at all...

Not a thing.
1:59 am
Jacula

Tuva - I was not look for attention, merely asking, quite politely in the first place, that you allow her to do so.
2:00 am

CUT IT OUT! All of you. If we all go telling Tuva and Jacula over and over again they should stop, it is getting worse, apparently. May I suggest ignore-ignore-ignore?
2:00 am
GreyWoulf

This is the last thing I have to say about this -- I enjoy Babble a great deal, I consider ALL of you to be my friends, But I am not having a fun time right now, and that is what the chat log is all about --- HAVING FUN!!!

Jac - you sought to redress a perceived wrong, which is admirable, but nothing is going to change Tuv's mind

Tuva - you are deriving pleasure at the expencse of everyone else on the log

The time has come to end this useless argument or else move it to a different venue -- NOW!
2:00 am

Jacula,

ALL you were doing was NOT MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS>

You were SEEKING ATTENTION.

And you got it.

Now you play the martyr...

Yeah it was. She was so tickled that she was called to the board room to make her presentation. We were thrilled at the TON of stuff she'd collected. But, transparently, extra happy about the cookies. :D

Now if this adrenalin rush I've got going would just fade so I could go get some much needed rest! :D

I think the problem with this grid is that there are too many words in it.

Coming down slowly, and still finding words, Yay!

Can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin
Don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

When I talked to God, Iknew he'd understand
He said Stick by me, I'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I have been reading this ridiculous post and had to go back and look at yesterdays post. I just would like tuva to know that miya did not apologize to you for what she said, she just apologized for how it might have come acrossed. This is what miya said. I copied and pasted it. Hi everyone, again. Tuva, I hope I didn't seem rude earlier! Got my head in order a bit more and can't believe how brash I was being...not like me. I'm sorry!

This whole debate over who's right and who's wrong is just a waste of time, and I know that the I and probably the other babblers in here right now could care less, and would like to babble in peace.
2:16 am
GreyWoulf

Griff, I'm almost afraid to ask -- what did you think it was?
2:16 am

lotti - light of my life!

GW - It's a song lyric. Truth is subjective. Music is fun.
2:16 am
Griffums

....I was wondering where you found a black and white version of the big rat off the D-Con box.

I think maybe I need new glasses.
2:16 am

thanks again, cybernan!

2:18 am
Jacula

Well, waiting to ee if my post had come up in the slow posting of posts, I can only say well so sorry for trying to defend a child.
2:18 am
Now_a_Pumpkin

**waves to everyone who's leaving, which is the cyberneighbourly thing to do**
2:19 am
Griffums

Yeah laugh at me. When I was in first grade I got a school paper back with a big red X on a mistake (sob!) for not marking all the things that started with M. Well, I didn't mark the Mouse because it was the rat off the D-Con box and I dang well knew it didn't start with M! (And so did my mother...and then so did my teacher.)

Thus the babbler was born...
2:19 am
GreyWoulf

tor - I recognised it as a lyric, but couldn't resist responding anyway.
Thanks for the ID --- cos it was niggling at me :)

Before that, Babbler. OLD Fleetwood, but recently redone on a live album . . .

Okay, here is some Roszak. My life motto, if anyone is interested.

"We meet as strangers, each of us carrying a secret. I can't say who you are; I might never get to know you completely.
But I trust you are a person in your own right, filled with a beauty and a worth that are the richest resources on earth.

Therefore I promise you this: I will not lay identities on you, but I will invite you to become yourself, without shame or fear. I will defend your right to find an authentic calling. For as long as your quest continues, you have my loyalty.

Theodore Roszak"

Seeing as I don't seem to have had much backing on that, I dubt you'll be seeing me here again.
2:20 am

Forgive the sloppy translation, I only have the text in dutch.
2:22 am

jacula i agree with what you have been saying. I looked at the website, and tuva has lost his mind!!!!!!!!
2:22 am
GreyWoulf

Jac - please don't be like that, it wasn't intended in that manner at all --

Please email me so we can work this out?
2:22 am
Babbler

I copied and pasted that, sprite. it's wonderful.

Jac, I and a few others already backed you.
2:22 am

And please, let's not start again.
2:22 am

As Joylee seems to have said, 'I have wasted my time'.
2:23 am
Now_a_Pumpkin

Jacula, don't let anyone get in the way of your enjoyment of Babble. Today is just one bad chat day. Everyone's ready to move on and play. :)

Griffs.... come back to the water with me???
2:23 am

2:24 am

I tried Griffums
2:24 am

Jacula that was meant exactly for you. I was trying to say that arguing with someone like him is a waste of breath. Save your energy for someone worth a damn!
2:24 am
Griffums

yes ma'am!!! *shakes water from fur to start all over again!*
2:24 am
torgone

Jacula - Please don't go away. When you get into a fight like that, both sides look bad. Let it cool off a bit, chat with Miyavi_fan, get your feelings out over time. I, personally would hate to lose you over something like this.
2:24 am
GreyWoulf

Hear Hear torgone!!
2:25 am

I think that when all of us ask you to please stop and you don't it's offensive. I have enjoyed you in the past and hope to continue but please don't put us through this again.
2:26 am

Had a feeling it might, Woulf ;)
We actually have the text hanging on our fridge. Whenever I get into a clinch with my kids (about every day, that is), I read it and realise that is how I want to raise them. Not that I always do, but hey, I am trying ;)

Help please...I have 3 O/8 and could use a clue for the fourth...I have ones for more grass, more groups and watching...any help on the last? Thanks! And Jacula, don't let a drunk drive you from the fun of the game...

I've had a few of those inspirations, sprite, while raising kids. Also had days when I just wanted to nail it to their foreheads which might be missing the point...

Lol Griffs, I agree! Still it helps to know where you are heading, even on moments you can't remember for the life of you what made you have them in the first place. Love is a funny thing.

6:35 am

6:36 am
ramix

sherb...i'm off work ill for a couple of weeks and babble has completely changed my sleep patters. i dont go to bed till i'm done, some days not till 8am! it's a sick sick obsession!
6:40 am
sherb

I guess I'm lucky that it starts at 6am my time, so if I haven't finished it by bedtime, it's not going to happen! :)
6:40 am
macadam

Ramix , The consolation is that there is something to do in the middle of the night that takes your mind off everything else.OK I admit it.it`s addictive :)
6:41 am
ramix

i never knew how obsessive i was still i started playing this game! i need therapy!
6:42 am
sherb

addictive, but harmless...apart from the occasional verbal fisticuffs ;)
6:43 am
macadam

I don`t think there are enough therapists worldwide to sort us all out.
6:43 am
sherb

this is therapy, ramix...the Babble cure...but what will you do when you have to go back to work? (no, no, don't think about that now...)
6:44 am
ramix

sherb, you want to cause my mental breakdown huh? i refuse to think about that! let me enjoy my last 10 days of babble madness!
6:48 am

MissyMe

Yay!
7:25 am
Bobsta

missyme: you need to refresh the page with the refresh icon or hold down ctrl and press f5
7:26 am
MissyMe

I did refresh but for some reason it still takes time for the icons to show up. It might be my browser. I use Opera.
7:26 am
Bobsta

firefox works really well with babble MissyMe
7:27 am
gramma

Look...he's tickling her...or something?
7:27 am
EvaNadine

heh, there...
since that other icon seems to popular, ill let someone else fight over it + ill take this one.
:)
7:28 am
MissyMe

*cries big tears* I had and wuved Firefox but something happened to it when I upgraded my spyware program. I could no longer use it even with removing and reloading it...I tried everything. I dislike IE so I switched to my second choice...Opera. I'm still getting used to it but its better than IE.
7:29 am
macadam

Gramma I prefer to think that he`s offering a drink.Alcoholic of course.Nobody sober would just stand in the snow!!!!
7:29 am
Bobsta

i might have a look at that. where can i download it from?
7:29 am
MissyMe

gramma I think one is holding a gun on the other. :) Not really a bad image for Christmas...they should have one of those display in front of every store.
7:29 am
Babs1

Hey missy...do need some of that warm milk..especially hanging out with you because you've got fresh snow coming down! like your snowy guy!

just dropping in for a sec -- yesterday there was a question about easily finding words and phrases in French--here's a very handy website for translating into French and Spanish: www.wordreference.com--happy babbling, everyone!
7:32 am
MissyMe

Bobsta, Firefox or Opera? Either one you can put the names in your browsers and their sites will come up

But here's Opera's download site:

http://www.opera.com/ download/

Babs lol
7:33 am
EvaNadine

thanks Uneaixoise!!
7:34 am

Missyme, I changed my icon. You may need to refresh to see it.
7:35 am

7:39 am

What do you think? Tickling???
7:40 am
sherb

yeah, tickling, sure... ;)
7:41 am

See...there's still a little life in these old bones
7:41 am
Bobsta

Thanx MissyMe, i use firefox but i just wanted to have a look at opera.
7:43 am
macadam

Is that the result of the drink? They might melt, but what a way to go ;)
7:44 am
gramma

We all have to go somehow
7:45 am
Bobsta

MissyMe: looks quite good, i'll give it a try over the weekend, see how i get on with it. like you, i'm fed up with IE, just seems so slow.
7:46 am
Babs1

What's your favorite word today that almost, but doesn't quite make on the grid? Mine is despot..
7:47 am
macadam

Gramma I hope she doesn`t feel pe8/50 by his actions!
7:49 am
sherb

Bobsta - is it easy to switch from IE to Firefox?
7:50 am
gramma

Macadam, since I don't have that word yet; I'm sure she doesn't. You've piqued my curiosity now. I must go looking.
7:50 am
MissyMe

Bobsta, my first choice is Firefox...but Opera is pretty good. It has a clean look and is easy to negogiate once you know your way around the program.
7:51 am
EvaNadine

back!
7:51 am
gramma

Babs, mine is strop
7:52 am
Bobsta

very easy sherb, all you do is follow the intructions when you download firefox. when you get to the part where it asks you if you want firefox to be your default browser, click on no because you can access firefox by double clicking the icon on desktop. that way you don't mess up your IE settings.
7:52 am

8:01 am

Why isn't perp a word? I watch tv and they use it all the time. " We've arrested the perp." or "We know who the perp is. We just need more evidence." Perp, blah blah blah...
8:02 am
Ouwachita

perv isnt a word either...people keep calling me it...so I shouldnt take offense because it isnt a word...whoopie!!
8:03 am

8:04 am
macadam

So why do they allow hospital abbreviations such as the one when surgeons get ready to do the op.That one is in today .
8:06 am
Bobsta

because the p that surgeons do is also a posh word for homework, at least thats what we called it when i waas at boarding school. stupid word anyway!!!!

the worst thing was macadam was that we had to do it every night at 7.20. its not like we were at home to do it either!!!
one good thing is that at that time top of the pops was on at 7.20 thursday so they let us do our P4/6 earlier so we could watch it!
8:10 am
macadam

New words new meanings.It keeps the language alive.
8:11 am
Bobsta

the first part of that post doesn't make much sense, shows how good boarding school was!!!
8:12 am

9:21 am

No official theme Ishult... I missed cute kids day so I am catching up...

:D
12:48 pm
baggo

he stroked inside me and the stroke effected his eyes. he had a cataract removed from one eye at age one, the good eye developed a nasty one, and they removed it this past summer to only have his iris stick to the implant 2 weeks later. it is now sticking again, and they feel it is his body's way of rejecting it, and thus removal means instant blindness as he had no vision already out of the right. (sorry for the long post)
12:48 pm
mab

Are you off now Baggo? Take care, will be thinking of you.
12:49 pm

Miyavi, I know you're a massive fan of J-Rock, but are there any Japanese (or Asian for that that matter) movies that you really enjoy...?

And that question is open to everyone else as well...
12:49 pm
Miyavi_fan

Oh, Baggo, that's terrible! Best of luck with you
12:49 pm
GreyWoulf

Baggo -- very sorry to hear that (*hug*), our prayers are with you :)

Hi all - haven't chatted or finished a grid for days now - too much to do, too little time! Grey Woulf you are EXACTLY as I pictured you!!! Lovely pic & gorgeous little one too! Have started the dreaded Christmas shopping UGH!!
12:50 pm
Miyavi_fan

Movieman, to sound weird I quite like the cult horror films! Even though I can't watch most of them. The Ring was good...though scarring! But my alltime favourite Japanese movie (with, uh, no subtitles) is...Oresama :D
12:50 pm
DarleenMB

Happy bday Schroeder.

Baggo... my heart goes out to you.
12:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah, Snowy, I was shopping with friends today! Since we were all on sugar highs, it was the usual things - skipping around the shopping centre giggling, trying on massive hats, and telling random people we loved them o_O Bit of sugar and we're like loons on loon tablets
12:54 pm
Schroeder

Thanks Darleen!!!
12:55 pm
movieman

Miyavi...I quite liked the Ring as well, but if I had to narrow my choices of Asias films down to about 3, I would have to go with Ong-Bak, The Eye (excellent special effects and quite spooky to boot!) and Crouching Tiger...
12:55 pm
snowyowl

Oh I need that hug Grey Woulf - thank you - its nice to be back, I have missed all the chat.
12:55 pm
Schroeder

"loons on loon tablets", I haven't heard that one before Miyavi...lol
12:56 pm

hello one and all, hooray it's friday. Snowy nice to see you again - notice I've upgraded, I'm a pro. How are all the children?
12:56 pm
lottijw

Shouts *Torgone* was it that bad!!!!! Or are you trying to copy and paste it !!!! LOL
12:56 pm
Miyavi_fan

Ahhh...my favourite one is only Oresama because my favourite singer (Miyavi...man, did you guess) is the main character...I can't understand much of it though. I think he may have gone back in time at some point :/
12:56 pm
GreyWoulf

movieman & Miy -- the Ring was the first movie to truly scare me in years -- I have been told that Ringu, the original is evener creepier, but I am almost afraid to find out for myself ;D
12:56 pm
movieman

Music-wise, I am currently listening to a large selection of 80s and 90s rock tunes that I've saved onto my hard-drive...
12:57 pm
lottijw

Trotters congrats on going pro :)
12:57 pm
snowyowl

LOL Miyavi - perhaps I should try that!
Spent the last hour with my 27 year old daughter buying clothes for a teaching job interview - and dreadful tho' it is I am definately turning into my mother! Just couldn't help giving her (good?) advice. -We are speaking again now tho!!!!
12:57 pm
Schroeder

Hi Trotters, congrats on the upgrade!!
12:58 pm
Trotters

Sorry, just remembered I should be a snowman (done over 200 words at work today, please don't tell on me)
12:58 pm
Miyavi_fan

Sorry Schroeder...kind of ran out of description to use!

Woulf, Ringu was the version I saw! Saw it about a year ago, still jump at small noises and can't go near wells.

12:58 pm
mab

I missed Lotti. Missed you lotti, but maybe not, maybe you are a snowman. And who is torgone today?

So many story lines; writing screenplay of log is going to be tough...
12:58 pm

Trotters...congrats on going Pro...now all you need to do is Babble using Firefox and you're set...

GW, my brother saw the original and said it scared the poop out of him!

Hey Mab...Tor is Max Headroom, the sexy rubber guy!!!! :)
12:59 pm
Miyavi_fan

Lol Snowy! You want to make a shopping trip eventful, try telling a gang of very bemused looking Japanese guys (we also went to Oriental City...yum ^_^) that you're in love with them. I think they were quite scared
12:59 pm
Trotters

I've got megga broadband, what's the plus with firefox?
12:59 pm

Hi guys

OOPs sent the message before I finished! The children are all fine and with their parents for a change! 1st lie-in for an age tomorrow!

That's pretty much what my friends said, Schroeder!
1:00 pm

LOL Tor...... you`re not supposed to wallpaper your room with it ;o) !!!!!

Hi Yoink
1:00 pm
movieman

But if ne of U want to see a REALLY gross movie, I suggest U try Ichi the KIller...

Just about anything goes in that one...it's like a REALLY REALLY hardcore WWE match...lol
1:01 pm
Yoink

Hey Movieman, I have that on DVD
1:01 pm
snowyowl

Walnutchen -she left home 6 years ago, is married and has 2 littlies!! This was MEANT to be fun!LOL
1:01 pm
Trotters

Snowy, I don't believe you'll lie in, you'll be up and babbling!
1:01 pm
lottijw

Hi Yoink :)
1:02 pm
Miyavi_fan

Arrrgh...speaking of Ringu, though, the Dir en Grey PV I'm watching now is bringing back, er, quite painful memories of that film. The warning before the PV though..."contains scenes of violence, blood/injury, insanity and alarming clothing/hair/makeup/general appearance"
1:03 pm
GreyWoulf

I'm not into gross, movieman -- that is what I consider to be the failing of most horror movies today... Too many of them rely on the splatter factor to win the viewer -- the Ring legitimately creeped me out because of the story, not the special effects
1:03 pm
walnutchen

ha! Snowyowl... sorry. thats what happens when you only read part of the conversation! hehehe. I left home 4 yrs ago and now have one on the way.
1:03 pm
DarleenMB

tttttttooooorrr ggggonnn! Love the icon
1:04 pm
Miyavi_fan

Yeah...the story of psychic Japanese girls creeping out of wells *shudders* I read the book of Ring, though, it's pretty good. Explains a lot you don't get in the film
1:04 pm
Schroeder

Miyavi, they actually have a warning before it, I must see these videos I hear you talking about...
1:04 pm
lottijw

Eeewww I`ve heard enough!!!

Right i`m going, see you later guys and girls :)
(((((((((XXxxxxxxxxxxXX))) ))))))) Torgone, see ya hun xxxxx
1:05 pm
movieman

GreyWoulf...I'm not normally into gross special effects either, in fact one of my favoute horror movies is the Others, the movie Nicole Kidman should have been nominated for an Oscar for instead of Moulin Rouge...all that singing and dancing...yuck!!!
1:05 pm
Miyavi_fan

oops...add "hardcore drug use" to the list of warnings for the PV :/
1:05 pm
snowyowl

Congrats walnutchen!

1:06 pm
Miyavi_fan

Schroeder, you, uh, really don't want to. The one I'm watching at the moment, Myaku, isn't one of their worst (thank god) but they stretch to very extreme imagery in their PVs.
1:06 pm
Yoink

Bye Lotti :)
1:06 pm

See you Lotti

Bye Lotti, and by default, Torgone.

Note to self: study popular culture. I don't know anything about any of these movies, and I don't know who Max Headroom is, never heard J-rock....

I'm going to Anj's music site.
1:08 pm

Hiya Ruff!!

Don't worry Mab, j-rock isn't exactly popular culture. BUT...to all the American babblers, you lucky, lucky people. Dir en Grey are coming to you! *sulks*

GreyWoulf

Enjoy your explorations, mab :)
1:14 pm
Miyavi_fan

Schroeder, not sure if they're touring anymore...but their albums should soon be available in the bigger music stores. The titles of the albums may kinda scare some people off though...English titles include Macabre, Vulgar, Six Ugly and Withering to Death!
1:14 pm
markbowers7

why is "storer" NOT a word? =one who store...
1:14 pm
mamabear

ONLY 311??????? Hey, what brings you around during the day GW?? Off today???? I'm on lunch.... usually like to peek in for a few min and see what's going on. Is that YOU in the pic????
1:15 pm
Miyavi_fan

Okay, Woulf, if you're so tough you can be the one coming downstairs with me while I make a cup of tea!

...All this talk of the Ring, I'm too scared to go alone :D
1:15 pm
Schroeder

Mamabear!!!! How are you?
1:15 pm
mamabear

My icon pic looks weird..... can anyone figure out it's a polar bear lying on his back with his legs up in the air??? The pictures get so obscured when transferred to icon sometimes...
1:15 pm

1:23 pm

7:17 pm
Atalante

good luck, movieman! this one is really a stinker! too many e's and t's and r's and s's and combination of every which way round
7:18 pm
movieman

speedfreak - are you starting to get the "can't be bothered to finish" feeling yet...

I know I am...
7:18 pm
snowyowl

movieman - do you have the pr5 that sounds as if you had ironed something? if so add the ending to make the word the person who does it and then make it plural
7:20 pm
snowyowl

I've still got 104 to go, so won't be completeing yet another one! Will have 10 mins more then go to bed!
7:21 pm
Yoink

I know what you mean Snowy, for me I will only drink during hours that end with the suffix o'clock
7:22 pm
Cathy

hi everyone .. quite a challenging one today, huh?
7:23 pm
snowyowl

Hi Cathy = It's a 'need all day' sort of grid - and i haven't had all day! LOL
7:23 pm
Yoink

Hi cathy, sure is a stinker
7:24 pm
periwinkle

Found the st/10 with the help of a to z. Do the st8 and st9 start the same way.
7:24 pm
snowyowl

sorry Peri -I have the 10 but not the 8 or 9!
7:27 pm
Cathy

I agree .. I've been on and off for quite some time
I can help with the st 8 & 9, though. they're not the same as the 10.
st 8 -- children by marriage (pl of st 7)
st 9 -- being very firm in one's manner
hope that helps!
7:30 pm
periwinkle

Cathy, thanks, found the st8 but still working on the st9
7:30 pm
Cathy

I should have said "male children" by marriage in my clue, might have helped even more :)
7:31 pm
snowyowl

TY for the 8 Cathy - can't see the9 yet
7:34 pm
Cathy

peri & snowy -- for the st 9, builds off the st 5 10 just before it, if that helps.
7:38 pm
snowyowl

TY Cathy I got the clue - just can't make the word! LOL
7:40 pm
speedfreak

Cathy Does the st9 start with the boom box st6? I can't see the 9 either
7:40 pm
snowyowl

GOT it!!!! TY Cathy!
7:41 pm
periwinkle

snowy, did you find the st9 yet. It is in a-z. There is a double consonant in the middle and at the end.
7:41 pm
Cathy

sorry guys ... I'm not a very good clue-giver ! Let me try this -- a state of being good is called goodn***, and a state of being rigid is called rigidn***. so a state of being st*** is called st*******.
7:41 pm
periwinkle

thanks Cathy, found the st9
7:41 pm
snowyowl

spped no It sounds like a part of a ship or being very strict and ends like the scottish monster!
7:41 pm
Cathy

yeah, glad you got it. I need to improve upon my clue-giving :)
7:43 pm
speedfreak

Duh! Another thwap w/the fish for me!! Thank you all was not doubling the consonent (i work at a school-don't tell anyone)
7:43 pm
snowyowl

I think the clue was good Cathy cos it got me to the right direction - I'm really tired and was looking for the easy ways out and trying to add lots of es rs and ss!
7:43 pm
Cathy

see, now why didn't I think of the Scottish monster thing? that's a good one, snowy ... guess you're closer to Scotland than I am, right? :) :) :)
7:44 pm
snowyowl

Just a little Cathy LOL!
7:44 pm
periwinkle

Can't find the ov9, have three ov8 though. help please
7:44 pm
Cathy

7:45 pm
KRISTINAROSE333

peri - St 9/78 is plural from the 8 above it...
7:45 pm
Cathy

peri -- your ov 9 is plural of the ov 8/60, if you have that one
7:46 pm
periwinkle

may I have a clue for the es8
7:47 pm
snowyowl

OK - wish I could stay but it's cleaning the church and my 3rd Christmas fayre this week,tomorrow! Only attending not working . It's also the 1st day this week with no grandchildren so I'm going to get a goodnights' sleep and with a little luck - a lie in - BLISS!
7:47 pm
periwinkle

Cathy, is there more than one ov8/60. The one I have can't be made plural.
7:47 pm
speedfreak

'gnite Snowyowl: Thank you for all your help and hope you have sweet dreams:))
7:48 pm
KRISTINAROSE333

ov 4/7 + st 4/5 = ov 8/60
ov 9/78 - plural of ov 8/60
7:48 pm
Blaze

peri yes there is two...
7:49 pm
DarleenMB

man I HATE those compound words!
7:49 pm

7:50 pm
movieman

Now, one or two of U may get the impression that I'm being as yellow as a bowl of custard, but it is now nearly 2.00am on Saturday morning (that's UK time of course) and I still need well over 50 words.

So in all probability, I think I should call it a day...

Goodnight y'all........!!!!!!!
7:50 pm

KRISTINAROSE, Thanks, found the ov8 and 9 I was looking for.
7:51 pm

7:53 pm
periwinkle

I have the pr/7 that has to do with radio stations. Are the pr8's similar to that one
7:57 pm
KRISTINAROSE333

The first pr 8/45 is built off the pr 5/12..

if you have the pr 7/32 then pluralize it for the 8
7:59 pm
pbr

I have one pr7 and pr8 left --??
7:59 pm
KRISTINAROSE333

pr 7/40 - career is promoted by an influential person
pr 8/55 - plural
8:00 pm
Cathy

peri - one of the pr 7 and 8's builds off of a pr 5 that means to give or loan something. (one of those er/ers things). the other pr 8 is plural of a pr 7 that means someone you might mentor or teach that shows great promise.
8:02 pm
pbr

cathi -- thx -- I am trying to get through the Re and Ro's before I go home.
8:03 pm
Cathy

Cathy

Yoink, have a great night! Let's hope Dr God spares us with a little easier one tomorrow! :)
8:04 pm
periwinkle

Cathy, found the pr8 that built on the word: to loan, still working on the one re, mentor
8:06 pm
Cathy

peri -- think "a child pr***** ... that phrase is used quite often. might help :)
8:06 pm
Yoink

Thanks Speedfreak, and Cathy, at 2am there's not really any night to speak of here! ;-)
8:08 pm
periwinkle

8:09 pm

8:10 pm
Cathy

when I answer you, I'm giving you my re******. then plural for the re 9
8:12 pm
periwinkle

Cathy, thanks again. found the re8 and 8. May I have help for the es8 please
8:17 pm
Cathy

peri -- sorry, my pc froze up and had to reboot. The es8 is one I have no idea what it really means ... so,
here goes ... add consonant to es that would be same as the two words right in front of the es8, + the ov 5/16 that's opposite of "unders"
8:20 pm
JeeWhiz

Can you please help me with the 10? Thanks...
8:22 pm
periwinkle

Cathy, thanks yet again, found the es8
8:24 pm
Cathy

JW -- the st 10 means a capacity for depth perception, but starts out sounding like the musical word for dual sound. I used a2z to find it.
8:24 pm
Cathy

yw ... now if you can figure out what it means, let me know :)
8:24 pm
JeeWhiz

Thanks Cathy
8:26 pm
Cathy

FINISHED! Boy, I'm exhausted after that one! Think I'll go do some Christmas cards, but if there's any last clues I can provide, let me know.

10:06 pm
torgone

Lucky - Google this:"A brief outline or general view, as of a subject or written work; an abstract or a summary" for the end of the word - almost - change one letter.
10:06 pm
GreyWoulf

Lucky - take the st7, insert p before the last letter then make it a plural -- as an 8 it is not valid
10:11 pm

There used to be 4 people plus a working manager in my dept. Now there are 2 of us, with over 30% increase in volume of ads. Oh, I didn't say - I work for FTD and they produce a directory (similar to huge yellow page phone book) for the florists to use that has all FTD members listed. I do the ads in the book.
