6:39 am

Trifioso

6:39 am

mrpresident

lol trif!! very cool

6:39 am

rubyfoo

6:39 am

Trifioso

6:39 am

rubyfoo

6:43 am

mrpresident

6:44 am

dofith

6:44 am

Trifioso

I still find myself thinking of him, and often

6:44 am

dofith

Grazes, actually.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

this has been a terrible almost two years for him.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

these are worse than grazes, unfortunately

6:45 am

Trifioso

it started with the dog attack, is that right, ruby?

6:45 am

rubyfoo

no, actually, he had a heart attack in Sept '09

6:45 am

mrpresident

6:46 am

mrpresident

6:46 am

dofith

Ruby, he's had a terrible run, hasn't he - and by extension, so have you!

6:46 am

mrpresident

7:53 am

Mom

anything else?

7:54 am

crosshair

7:54 am

crosshair

prize

7:54 am

Mom

exactly Crossy, but after the marriage it is hers to keep

7:54 am

crosshair

indeed

7:55 am

crosshair

well she needs something for putting up with the guy lol

7:55 am

Mom

there was a letter in Dear Abby about that exact thing this morning

7:56 am

crosshair

ugh..you reminded me,i soon have to shop for a 20th anerversary band..sigh..any more rocks on that woman of mines ring finger and she is goung to have to get plastic surgery and extend it a inch or 2 lol

7:56 am

Mom

the mother of the son wrote that her son is getting divorced after only 4 years of marriage. The bride was given a family heirloom engagement ring and wedding band. Now the mother wants it back

7:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

Dear Abby is answering from the Great Beyond? Now that's advice I would take!

7:57 am

Mom

Dear Abby more or less told her sorry about your luck, but you could offer to buy it back from her. But she is not obligated

7:57 am

crosshair

it is her daughter kaplan i believe

7:57 am

Mom

Dear Abby is still living, it is Ann Landers that is dead

7:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

(oh)

7:57 am

crosshair

ahh i stand corrected

7:57 am

Mom

but like Crossy said, her daughter has been writing it since the late 80's

7:58 am

crosshair

i was half right..whee

7:58 am

Mom

no Crossy you are correct Crossy, the actual Dear Abby lives in Minnesota and suffers from Alzheimers

7:58 am

Mom

so Elegant gets a new band for 20 years of marriage?

7:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

I sit corrected.

7:59 am

crosshair

7:59 am

Mom

7:59 am

Mom

7:59 am

crosshair

after putting up with me for 20 years,it is the least i can do;0

7:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

And you are in the PB , Mom.

8:00 am

Mom

I would imagine you are a prince, Crossy

8:00 am

Mom

so I am. Maybe they can do my hair while I am sitting in there

8:00 am

crosshair

the rule of thumb in our family history is the lady get a matching accent band to go with her engagement and wedding band every ten years

8:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

Can you see the fireworks from the PB?

8:01 am

crosshair

my godmother for ecxample has her engagement ring,her wedding band and 4!! anniversary bands

MollyL

Add another vowel for the 7

9:40 am

cosdem

thanks dan and molly

9:43 am

crosshair

i know doseffing..when we speak of french we speak of quebec..not pariesians lol

9:44 am

bichon

Montreal French is quite different from Pariesien? n'est pas

9:44 am

crosshair

as in "hey look at that french guy!!" we know it is a fella from quebec and not france

9:46 am

crosshair

it is,but not so that we care much here

9:47 am

bichon

We are watching the Russian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"

9:48 am

crosshair

for us(other that old quebec city) quebec is a place to drive through really fast and in one drive on your way to the east coast;)

9:48 am

doseffing

it's not that different ... it's more a matter of accent ... speed ... and colloquialisms ... and nationalistic french survivalist pride ... ... you can't say ... le weekend or le hot dog or le Big Mac in Quebec without the language police coming down on you ... my impression is the parisienne's don't really care ...

9:48 am

cosdem

fireworks

9:48 am

bichon

yeah cos

9:48 am

crosshair

thats our problem,the language police and them trying to ram it down our throats

9:50 am

crosshair

they are now going on about how any new judges have to speak both languages..what crap.we will lose lots of good judges,let them use a translator if needed

9:50 am

mrpresident

hi bichon, dos, dan, molly et al **hugs**

9:51 am

doseffing

being from Toronto I can't disagree with too much ... I think french is the eighth or ninth language in Toronto ... and we don't have too many chinese or italian or hindustani or portuguese speaking judges ...

9:52 am

bichon

Hi Mr. P, you have a new picture?

9:53 am

crosshair

it would be more use to have the judges speak italian as a second language round here lol

9:54 am

mrpresident

10:11 am

dan2bit

can I have the points for the lone A?

10:12 am

MollyL

I think it would be a great feature in New Babble (if we ever see it) to leave the big grids up for longer than 24 hours. While still posting a new one every day. The stats watchers probably wouldn't like that though.

10:12 am

MollyL

Hello, stid. Did you enjoy student teaching?

11:22 am

stidmama

YES. well, sometimes. A lot more this last week. Was sad that just as I "hit my stride" I was leaving, mentioned it to the cooperating teacher and she invited me to keep teaching next week! So I accepted, will be there in the mornings. :-D

11:22 am

MollyL

Hope you had a nice birthday Stid. Lots of people here were sending you good wishes.

11:22 am

And in the afternoons, will go to the other end of the school and help in the 6th grade.

*Dusts, sweeps and cleans out the PB. Re-stocks the bar and snack shelves. Places fresh chocolate in the satin lined chocolate box. Drains and re-treats the hot tub. All is well. *

3:04 pm

uusue2

hi, chic, what's up?

3:20 pm

chic

Hi I read your profile and I wondered if you had a pinto horse in the 60's and kept him at heck' s stables?

3:21 pm

uusue2

hi chic, no, I have never been a horse person, sorry! My sister took riding lessons, probably in the late 60s, but never had her own horse.

3:23 pm

chic

Oh ok. I thought you were someone I once knew from Closter, Nj.

3:23 pm

uusue2

no, I lived in Bernardsville in the 60s. Oh, well!

3:25 pm

chic

Wow. The clues had added up and the fact that you met with doren. You can ignore my friend request on fb if you wish... Unless you like to play lex...

3:26 pm

uusue2

Well, I was a teenager in NJ in the 1960s, so good guess! I think I already accepted your friend request; don't play lex at the moment but who knows?

3:28 pm

uusue2

anyway, I am off again, will stop back in later!

3:29 pm

Nice chatting with you I lurk a lot.

4:16 pm

VAgirl

Hello VAgirl! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

4:18 pm

Minveryork

I've accomplished the fe4/7 of finishing grid, so here is a story of clues. I was very busy and on my fe 4/7 most of the day in the he 4/5 of the sunshine. I made my garden look ne4/4 by pulling up weeds. My garden seems to have this in 6/8 ability to grow weeds right after I plant flowers. Then the weeds in6/30 flowers because it gives the flowers less room to grow. After weeding my garden, I sq5/16ed my garden with some water since it has not rained in awhile. I am going to call my te4/4age ni 5/10 An 4/4. She wants to tell me about her performance in Ci 6/30 de Soleil. Then I am going to go feed my dog some chicken and ri 4/5. He has not ea 5/10 dinner yet. Then I am going to make burgers&ta4/4r tots for my dinner.Then I'm going to go watch The King of Qu5/16. I hope you all have a fi 4/7 evening. I may be back later on to help with clues

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

uusue2

hi, min! I am very hot but otherwise fine :-)

4:20 pm

Minveryork

4:21 pm

uusue2

4:22 pm

VAgirl

9:07 pm

jesdraggon

i'm well, minver. sitting at work while my dad and bf replace all the doorknobs and locks on the clinic.

9:07 pm

jesdraggon

how're you?

9:10 pm

Minveryork

You're at work? It is after 10:00 at night in New York

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

just past 7pm here

9:10 pm

lbdawger

why are you replacing all the knobs and locks, Jes?

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

have been here since 8am

9:11 pm

jesdraggon

because they are all crap. the previous owner thought it would be a good idea to save some money by having all the doors just done with commercial/residential twist knobs.

9:11 pm

lbdawger

ahh, need for better security, good idea!

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

we had one that wouldn't open at all, one that would only open if you twisted just right and held it up, one that wouldn't close unless you held the knob while you closed it (that one also wouldn't unlock with the key), one that the screws kept falling out of...

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

it was a wonder anybody could make it into the building to do business in the first place. so they're installing all new industrial levers and bolts.

9:13 pm

lbdawger

amazing you'd never been robbed!

9:13 pm

Minveryork

Wow! That is a very long day for you jesdraggon. Do you always work long days on Saturdays? Are you off tomorrow? Do you get your days off during the week?

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

yeah. that too.

9:14 pm

jesdraggon

days off? what are these things of which you speak?

9:14 pm

jesdraggon

i had intended to leave this afternoon while dad worked, and go to an employee's son's graduation party. got an emergency call just as we pulled in though, so jumped out, said "hi, good to see you, you throw a great party, k bye now" and came back.

9:15 pm

you're such a party animal, jes! lol

9:30 pm

crosshair

i am sorry it was sad,but it won many awards and was made into a movie..not all stories have happy endings sadly:/

9:31 pm

crosshair

some books will move you in ways you do not like but if it can ellicit a strong emotion and make you think ojn it and remember it for a long time..it is a good tale

9:32 pm

jesdraggon

i didn't say it wasn't good, just that it was sad :P

9:32 pm

crosshair

flowers for algernon is of the same ilk,but not so heart wrenching

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

yes, i've read it. i prefer comedies to tragedies, generally.

9:33 pm

crosshair

any tale that can bring forth strong emotions in us,make us think,or for just a little while make the "real world" seem ghostly and unreal for just a whole is worth reading

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

i get enough sad stories in real life.

9:34 pm

crosshair

9:34 pm

crosshair

In 1728, the philosopher Voltaire got rich by outsmarting the lottery. When the French government accidentally created a raffle where the prize money was significantly larger than the cost of all the tickets combined, Voltaire and his friend formed a syndicate, bought all the tickets, and won.
