12:53 am

a proper noun.. (trademark perhaps)

Erda

seder

Yes, but I'm a speed touch-typist and have played a lot of boggle type word games, so I spot and enter words pretty quickly.

Watch me at Word Racer or Letterblox sometime.

vanillaslice

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

1:27 am

dcseain

first i've been on since they went walkabout on Monday.

1:27 am

vanillaslice

I always find 'em when I look where I put them

1:27 am

dcseain

i have my prescription sunglasses, which i can wear since they have the bifocal.

1:28 am

westford

1:32 am

negativeneil

Hi Seain.

1:33 am

dcseain

ENABLE cannae spell. that re6 takes the other ending, not that one. hmph

1:33 am

negativeneil

And whoever else has arrived while I've been eating and reading something else.

1:34 am

negativeneil

I agree, Seain... only seen it spelled the other way. This just isn't right.

1:34 am

westford

it's proper

1:34 am

debjed

sleepy, must go back to bed

1:34 am

negativeneil

Can't be that proper. Not how I was taught!

1:34 am

westford

good night deb

1:34 am

dcseain

no, it's not. The trademark is proper, the word is not.

1:35 am

negativeneil

I guess it's probably an acceptable alternative spelling of the word though.

1:35 am

dcseain

g'night deb

1:35 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

1:35 am

negativeneil

Good night debjed.

1:35 am

dcseain

google, says not acceptable, and no definitions for the one in enable

1:35 am

negativeneil

I should probably take that Babble Expert link out of my bio so the word list appears higher... people might miss it there.

1:35 am

westford

but isn't there a difference between a re** estate agent and a re***or?

1:36 am

westford

used to have to be the latter to own an agency

1:36 am

dcseain

legally no. the former has not joined NAR, the latter has is the only difference.

1:36 am

dcseain

NAR - National Association of Re4ors

1:37 am

westford

but you'd have to be one to join?

1:37 am

dcseain

you must be licensed to join, yes. Hence, no legal difference.

1:37 am

westford

I had my license way way back when

1:37 am

rururocks

you would just need to be able to shoot homeowners

1:38 am

westford

no

1:38 am

westford

homeowners are our friends

1:38 am

negativeneil

I can think of some other people who should probably be shot.

1:38 am

dcseain

in a big way :)

1:39 am

negativeneil

Touché.

1:39 am

westford

did they tell you to read the entire test first and then take it seain?

1:40 am

dcseain

test is electronic, cannot read ahead

1:40 am

westford

see I told you I took it way back when

1:40 am

dcseain

i'm taking a contracts class now, though not required for licensure, it will be helpful

1:40 am

negativeneil

You got that email with the screenshot of our posts, right westford?

1:40 am

westford

quill pens and everything

1:40 am

westford

yes

1:40 am

negativeneil

Haha, I was bad. People are afraid to comment there now.

1:40 am

rururocks

NAR is like the NRA for dyslexics westie

1:41 am

dcseain

LOL west.

1:41 am

westford

definitely

1:41 am

westford

only in Texas ruru

1:41 am

dcseain

first electronic test i took was for my DC driver license back in 1996. I was shocked to have had my choice of 6 languages for that exam.

1:42 am

dcseain

oh, here in Virginia, too, west.

1:42 am

1:58 am

westford

not that one the other one

1:58 am

negativeneil

Unless you asked another after that one, while I wasn't here?

1:58 am

boatierra

1:58 am

1:59 am

jillibus

1:59 am

boatierra

You're a Dec. baby? Me too!

1:59 am

dcseain

that's expensive in Canada

2:00 am

negativeneil

It isn't that kind of "mess" westford. He's just got too much food in the fridge... trying to see what's in there is "fun".

2:00 am

westford

but think of the fun that will bring jilli

2:00 am

negativeneil

It's all very neat, clean and orderly but just too much stuff, haha.

2:00 am

westford

oh well you'll just have to eat and eat

2:00 am

jillibus

I hope so, west

2:00 am

negativeneil

Ummm no. I'd get fat if I did that.

2:00 am

westford

hope he doesn't have a power failure

2:02 am

westford

you can run

2:02 am

jillibus

good night, good people...*poof

2:02 am

negativeneil

Oh when in December, boat?

2:02 am

negativeneil

Night jilli.

2:03 am

boatierra

Night jilli :)

2:03 am

boatierra

The 14th.

2:03 am

negativeneil

Oh ok, so we don't share the same sign.

2:03 am

negativeneil

Not that I'm into that. I'm not at all.

2:03 am

negativeneil

but I'm a Capricorn.

2:04 am

boatierra

You're a Cap, I'm a Sag.

2:04 am

negativeneil

Yep.

2:05 am

boatierra

Dec is the WORST month to have a birthday. But your week is the WORST week to have it in. You are right in the middle of the two holidays. Man.

2:07 am

sprite

morning all

2:07 am

boatierra

Hey sprite!

2:07 am

sprite

heya boat :)

2:18 am

negativeneil

Except we don't do Xmas of course... and holidays aren't that big a deal to me anyhow.

2:19 am

negativeneil

Hi sprite. Worried about mrp. She logged in in her husband's accont earlier and was very upset... see chat log. Don't know what's wrong but it sounds very bad. :(

2:19 am

negativeneil

There's no list but I have one on profile.

2:20 am

sprite

hello neil. I heard he went away for a bit after an argument.

2:20 am

negativeneil

oh no! :(

2:21 am

anike

No lickety today?

2:21 am

negativeneil

It sounded like someone had died... been very worried.

2:21 am

boatierra

Oh you weren't here cause you were apt shopping. mrp & Lickety had a bit of a tiff, he disappeared for a while, she did not know where for several hours, she finally tracked him down, after calling relative and police.

2:21 am

negativeneil

No but there's a list in my profile, anike.

2:21 am

anike

TY

2:21 am

negativeneil

Oh geez. Like she needs that stress. :(

2:21 am

negativeneil

yw anike.

2:21 am

sprite

I think it is wise to let someone have some room after an argument. If they didn't need it, they wouldn't go away.

2:22 am

sprite

well he doesn't either, neil. It is hard on both of them, not just on mrP.

2:22 am

negativeneil

Well yeah, true enough.

2:22 am

negativeneil

I can be like that myself... needing space.

2:22 am

negativeneil

It's mostly just for "cooling down" time.

2:23 am

boatierra

But he was at his dad's house and he was OK.

2:23 am

gran

How many words today please

2:23 am

sprite

yes. I know a lot of people for whom that is true.

2:23 am

sprite

273 gran

2:23 am

negativeneil

I'm sure but I'm thinking of her health you know? She has a hard time doing things after the surgery.

2:23 am

negativeneil

273

2:23 am

negativeneil

And dealing with that evil stalker/prick.

2:24 am

gran

Thanks

2:24 am

sprite

Lickety deals with the same things.

2:24 am

boatierra

And I thought it was really sweet of her to hop on here and at least say there will be no list for the time being. I'm sure they just both need time for their family and we certainly can be ignored for a while. The game is really not that important in the big scheme of things.

2:25 am

negativeneil

Yes they both do... it must affect all of them.

2:25 am

westford

I have returned. Went to check emails at the pause and managed to whittle them down to 98

2:25 am

negativeneil

It was boat.

2:25 am

sprite

I fully agree, boat. We have done without lists for years. I am sure we can manage.

2:25 am

negativeneil

I heard there weren't even tile or word stats at first either?

2:25 am

sprite

hiya west

2:26 am

westford

hi sprite

2:26 am

sprite

nope, just the grid and the chat.

2:26 am

negativeneil

WB westford.

2:26 am

boatierra

I remember the days looooong before Lickety's lists or before the tile stat's and folks would finish the puzzle and post the stats in the chog :)

2:26 am

westford

thanks neil

2:26 am

sprite

I kind of liked those days :)

2:26 am

negativeneil

And the word list that appears beside the grid as you find the words of course?

2:27 am

sprite

yes, the words you find were there from the start

2:27 am

boatierra

It was me what?

2:27 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah... wow. You've been a member since: July 1, 2004, boat? Long time.

2:27 am

sprite

it was sweet of mrP, boat (I think he meant)

2:27 am

negativeneil

And September 14, 2004 for you, sprite.

2:27 am

sprite

I know

2:27 am

negativeneil

yes sprite... that's what I meant.

2:27 am

boatierra

That's my official membership start. I've been playing at least a year or two before that!

2:28 am

westford

how did you two find out about babble?

2:28 am

negativeneil

Oh as a free member?

2:28 am

sprite

for the lack of a comma, the message went lost :)

2:28 am

negativeneil

So this site has been here since 2002?

2:28 am

sprite

same for me, boat and neil

2:29 am

boatierra

I think so, maybe 2003. A friend of mine introed me. I don't think she's on her anymore.

2:29 am

westford

that was for sprite and boa

2:29 am

sprite

there was only free at the beginning. The one-time membership came later.

2:29 am

negativeneil

Oh ok, didn't know that.

2:29 am

boatierra

I remember sprite from long time ago :)

2:30 am

westford

I used to play Tangleword with VolleyMomDee and she mentioned it one night..told her I'd get her for that lol

2:30 am

negativeneil

Where did you play that westford?

2:30 am

sprite

I was told about it by someone who doesn't play much anymore, who told me it was totally up my alley. It was.

2:30 am

westford

it's long gone now neil

2:31 am

negativeneil

I've seen a game of that name somewhere, westford.

2:31 am

negativeneil

And I mean pretty recently too.

2:31 am

negativeneil

I'll have to search and see where it was.

2:31 am

westford

I don't think it's the same one because dart was a regular

2:31 am

westford

he loved the speed

2:31 am

sprite

lol west, yes, pushers of addictings!

2:32 am

boatierra

marigold and periwinkle are the other two that I remember from when I started out because they were/are the high scorers.

2:32 am

sprite

what I liked most about those days is that the puzzle was allowed to be hard. People weren't affronted by tough grids and didn't demand to be handfed.

2:33 am

westford

I did meet a very dear friend there from England and her youngest grandson's birthday is today !

2:33 am

sprite

aw nice west :)

2:33 am

westford

it's been about 9 years now..hope we get to meet in person some day

2:34 am

sprite

that would be really great.

2:34 am

westford

maybe when my husband retires we'll go over

2:34 am

boatierra

I was just thinking, I've been playing (on and off) this game for 9 yrs. I can't believe that!

2:35 am

sprite

hehehe me neither. But it has never been lost time for me. Did miracles for my english, and my knowledge of words, and of trivia.

2:35 am

boatierra

Ditto sprite.

2:36 am

sprite

woot, am a little past halfway and already really searching. Looks like a nice and chewy grid.

2:37 am

westford

it's nice and relaxing

2:40 am

sprite

good :) I have an interesting job of form designing to do today, so a bit of relaxation beforehand is appreciated.

2:41 am

westford

what is that?

2:41 am

negativeneil

Ok see the photo I just changed to in my bio?

2:41 am

negativeneil

This will make you laugh westford... if you didn't see this earlier?

2:41 am

negativeneil

Note what's behind me?

2:42 am

westford

I do. When was it taken?

2:42 am

grannyrose

neil, god bless you, was just about to have a hissy fit...no lickety yet....thanx sooo much

2:43 am

sprite

I need to design a couple of forms. Layout, artwork, etc.

2:43 am

grannyrose

and hello to all my babble friends

2:43 am

negativeneil

I'm gonna change it again once you've seen it. It was taken April 1, 2007.

2:43 am

sprite

hey rose :)

2:43 am

negativeneil

Ok, chaning it again now.

2:43 am

westford

sprite you are a woman of many talents

2:43 am

negativeneil

Note the clothes I'm wearing in the photo... you'll see the next one was taken at that same time.

2:44 am

grannyrose

spritey.....feeling sooo much better today, and you, hun?

2:44 am

sprite

*takes bow* thanks west :)

2:44 am

negativeneil

Haha, ok... refresh or reload my profile.

2:44 am

westford

neil !!!

2:45 am

jillibus

Just popped in to say hello and goodnight again and saw that some mentioned Lickety. There is some sort of trouble there and mrp said there will be no list until further notice. She is grieving.

2:45 am

sprite

oh rose, that is lovely to hear! Am happy for you! My back is telling me I overtaxed myself... loudly and obnoxiously. Must lie down most of the day. Sneaking in some computer time :)

2:45 am

sprite

hi jilli, sleep well

2:45 am

jillibus

And thank you, neil, for providing one.

2:46 am

negativeneil

You're welcome jilli. Had to... since there wasn't one.

2:46 am

boatierra

Yes, Thank You Neil :)

2:46 am

negativeneil

I know westford. Bad huh? Probably treason, lol.

2:46 am

sprite

my first letter stat generator is probably still working, lol.

2:46 am

grannyrose

spritey * worried look* will you pleeeese take care?

2:46 am

westford

neil do you remember what pee'd you off that day?

2:47 am

sprite

oh yes, rose, I promise! Don't worry. I think it is best to keep moving a bit anyway. It is not a hernia, so gentle movement can be only good.

2:48 am

negativeneil

Uh, westford... who was in office then? Isn't that enough, surely? Haha. I was working on the Hill at that time too. Just a temp assignment.

2:48 am

grannyrose

whew!!!!! and you are right, gentle ambulation is good

2:48 am

jillibus

Did anyone notice my post that there will be no Lickety list for the foreseeable future, and that there seems to be trouble there?

2:48 am

westford

I'd like to forget

2:49 am

negativeneil

So that was probably a little risky but oh well. I wasn't staying there too much longer.

2:49 am

negativeneil

I sure hope they work it out. :(

2:49 am

sprite

*hugs rose carefully* You just take care of yourself, dear one, you have your job cut out for you enough as it is.

2:49 am

grannyrose

wahhhhhhh no lickety????

2:49 am

sprite

I already knew, jilli, thanks

2:50 am

grannyrose

awwww, thanx spritey

2:50 am

sprite

look babblers, if lickety needs some time for himself, I think he is more than entitled to it. Same for mrP. the Babble list shouldn't take first priority.

2:50 am

negativeneil

Oh that must be painful sprite. Bad backs are very crippling. Do you know what's causing it?

2:50 am

jillibus

I hope things there work out okay -- goodnight/day now...*repoof

2:51 am

sprite

yes neil, a damaged pelvic girdle and one day of taking less care than normally.

2:51 am

westford

of course not but she did say she thought someone might have hacked into his account..I think

2:51 am

grannyrose

so true spritey, which reminds me...must call mrp and see how the land lies.*hangs head in shame* some friend i am!!!!

2:51 am

negativeneil

Oww. Hope that will heal ok?

2:51 am

westford

she needs to talk to someone rose

2:51 am

sprite

you are a great friend, rose. Give her my love and tell her to email me if she wants to.

2:51 am

negativeneil

Give her our best please grannyrose?

2:52 am

negativeneil

And yeah... same goes for me?

2:52 am

jillibus

mine too, granny

2:52 am

grannyrose

that does it, westy, will call her soonest

2:52 am

sprite

it will, neil. one day of overtaxing = 3 days of healing. After that, things should be back to 'normal'.

2:52 am

westford

give her a hug from me

2:53 am

grannyrose

will do, all of you, i think mrp knows she has our prayers and support, but a little contact wouldn't go astray

2:53 am

negativeneil

My dad gets some back trouble now and then... tells us not to get older, says it's no fun. Great!

2:53 am

boatierra

No, I think someone asked if Lickety's site was hacked. Mrp happen to be *on* right when that was asked. And I don't think anyone wanted to answer while she was on, so i don't think his site was hacked. It was only asked about.

2:53 am

grannyrose

*giggle* westy, have long arms, but not that long, will a virtual one do?

2:54 am

westford

yes rose it will

2:54 am

sprite

virtual ones reach their destination just as well

2:54 am

grannyrose

okay then, will report in when i have spoken to her

nope, to remove the fringes from the ends of cords

3:09 am

westford

very nice neil were you all interns?

3:10 am

westford

oh wait didn't see the 2nd one

3:10 am

negativeneil

I was a writer/gopher. I ran errands most of the time and actually got to write important letters that were needed some of the time.

3:11 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake, these e words are like a long drink of water, they go on for ever

3:11 am

negativeneil

More information/archive retrieval and odd errands than writing... which disappointed me.

3:12 am

negativeneil

But it was temporary and something to add to my resumé anyway.

3:12 am

negativeneil

Then I returned to SC and went to work for a newspaper office in San José.

3:13 am

westford

that must have been a great experience

3:13 am

negativeneil

I hated that job and vented via my blogs... and that's how this online name developed!

3:13 am

westford

and you do know the way to San Jose...

3:14 am

negativeneil

Haha yep, that I do. Drove that route every day for a few years.

3:14 am

westford

I'm sure there are nice things about that city but I can remember looking down on it and the smog was so thick

3:15 am

sprite

thanks rose, found it :)

3:16 am

grannyrose

hey dcs

3:17 am

negativeneil

Nice things? Not so I noticed. I was stuck at a desk by a window that looked out on the stockyard of the abbatoir next door. And expected to create brilliant articles with no cubible for privacy, let alone secluded office... with co-workers bugging me for this and that all day... ugh. See now why I had to vent a lot in my blogs?

3:17 am

westford

hi again seain

3:17 am

negativeneil

"cubicle" even... man, my typing's shot to hell.

3:17 am

negativeneil

Hi again Seain!

3:18 am

dcseain

sounds like typical office and life :)

3:18 am

negativeneil

Freelancing has been much better, but I was afraid to take that leap. Glad I finally did though.

3:19 am

westford

it does but isn't abbatoir a lovely word for a not so lovely place

3:19 am

negativeneil

Yeah I guess they think it sounds better than "slaughterhouse".

3:19 am

sprite

it sounds better than cattle killing fields

3:19 am

westford

moooo

3:20 am

sprite

hush, I'll be over to milk you as soon as I can!

3:20 am

westford

good luck lol

That poem was purpose-written to open a Samhain service, and set the tone for that year's ritual.

3:37 am

3:44 am

What name, westford?

sprite

3:46 am

grannyrose

lol, westy, seeing he was standing right next to me

3:46 am

negativeneil

Just like it looks. It's a Hebrew name and it's not too common. In fact he's the only person in this entire country who had his first and last name.

3:47 am

westford

oh sprite have you done the birthday movie yet?

3:47 am

negativeneil

I'm one of 35 with my first and last name supposedly... but I've found even more than that without even trying, haha. I am one of two with the same first, middle and last names though.

3:47 am

sprite

no not yet! Waiting for my love to set a date.

3:47 am

negativeneil

"he's the only person in this entire country who HAS his first and last name" that was supposed to say.

According to this site I'm one of 35 people in the entire US with my first and last name.

4:00 am

4:00 am

negativeneil

Yeah, true.

there are 15 people with both my names

4:02 am

negativeneil

Wow, westford... nice and uncommon.

4:02 am

westford

bye sprite It's always fun to see you

4:02 am

What silly name? You mean "rubyfoo"? No sillier than my online name.

4:06 am

dcseain

4:06 am

westford

the silliest name I've heard in a long time is one of the Pat's players..

4:07 am

westford

I don't like my first name either

4:08 am

negativeneil

I'm not crazy about my first name... mostly because it's just one syllable, rhymes with "kneel" and is so common. Blah. My middle name's a little more interesting but very Hebrew.

4:08 am

dcseain

wow, the top A was easy, all related

4:08 am

westford

4:09 am

dcseain

6:21 am

6:21 am

rubyfoo

has anybody seen mrp or lickety after mon night's drama?

6:22 am

uusue2

nope - hope they are ok! (I mean, I know lickety's around, but still...)

6:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

Lotsa drama, no?

6:23 am

MollyL

See Mr. President's comment at 12:16 in chat log. Apparently there will be no List for a while. List in Negative Neil's profile.

6:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

what's the gist of it?

6:23 am

rubyfoo

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I never list (or even finish, for that matter), so never see Lickety's list

6:24 am

MollyL

This is the post:
mrpresident here.
There will be no clues until further notice.
Sorry for that folks.
I wish I could tell you all the massive greif I am feeling right now, but best I leave it till a time when i can make a sentence.
mrp xox

6:24 am

rubyfoo

tremendous drama, kaplan. We were all yelling at mrp to stay calm and stay home, not go out searching in the badlands for the errant husband

6:24 am

MollyL

She was logged in as Lickety. Very strange.

6:25 am

uusue2

and then another one: it is me west, and things are very bad, so sorry, no clues.
I don't know if someone has hacked his account or anything right now. so sorry, but have to go

6:25 am

rubyfoo

it was awful; she was crying and sally and hego and I were trying to help her

6:25 am

MollyL

That second post is because Westford questioned whether or not the person posting was genuine.

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

Pops in. I assume mrp was logged in as lickety because she was using his computer.

6:26 am

uusue2

well, she found him at his mom's, so that particular part of the drama is over, but I can't imagine anyone is happy

6:26 am

rubyfoo

hello sally

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, popping out again to collect shoes from menders :-)

6:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

They have had a lot of bad stuff recently- wasn't there arson or something on their car and some scary neighbors

6:26 am

rubyfoo

we had asked her in the beginning if Lickety had family nearby as he hadn't gone out in a car, but she said no

6:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

William Blakes tyger is hear.

6:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

here, even.

6:29 am

uusue2

arson and neighbor stuff were a while ago but ongoing; then mrp is still having bone trouble, had surgery a week or two ago and is on crutches; she also has cervical cancer. And lickety is out of work still, I think.

6:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yikes. that's a lot.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

too much for one couple!

6:30 am

MollyL

I just hope Mr. President has a good support group of real life people. Internet friends are great, but in times of trouble, you need real people around for support.

6:30 am

uusue2

I can see why they are both melting down.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

from what she said, the other night, Lickety had gone too far.....

6:32 am

MollyL

Someone said yesterday that Lickety's list goes up automatically. I didn't think that was the case. I guess he was able to update yesterday, but will not be able to for a while. Time will tell.

6:32 am

uusue2

must get my day started - will see you all later - holding mrp and lickety in my heart

6:32 am

rubyfoo

isn't realtor a word???

6:33 am

MollyL

Yes it is. No clue why Enable won't take it.

6:33 am

Sally-catlover

Different vowel to end ruby (not really here)

6:33 am

rubyfoo

banging head on keyboard!

6:34 am

MollyL

No, the OR ending is correct. Google the word.

Kaplan the Magne

Or is correct.

6:34 am

uusue2

now THAT is weird.

6:34 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, but not accepted by the grid.

6:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

doing a puzzle with an illiterate dictionary is a challenge.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

that is too strange....

6:35 am

MollyL

Enable is too busy being literate in all those ridiculous foreign currency words.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

and then the little tile word, not accepted, either

6:39 am

rubyfoo

yay, half!

6:39 am

godthaab

What was Monday night's drama?

6:39 am

dcseain

the thunder is shaking the floor, but no rain here. Wherever it's raining, it must really be comingdown.

6:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

I was just pouring my coffee and the lid fell off the carafe.

6:40 am

MollyL

Seain, look at the radar map. It's like Armageddon.

6:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

that was not monday night's drama- just a mishap.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

maybe Bachman is right!

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think the rapture is happeneing, just more slowly.

6:41 am

dcseain

wow, no kidding molly!

6:41 am

rubyfoo

god: mrp and her husband were having problems and she melted down on line, put us all in a panic as we were too far away to help her

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

I mean, it couldn't have anything to do with Al Gore, could it?

6:41 am

dcseain

it's getting darker here, which is weird because minutes ago it was getting lighter.

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

post the link to the radar map

6:42 am

dcseain

6:42 am

rubyfoo

is an a**let a little jerk?

6:42 am

dcseain

Storms across the river are making thunder that is shaking my floor!

6:43 am

dcseain

i live in Reston, at west part of that map

6:43 am

MollyL

WUSA's is more dramatic. Lots more colors. : )

6:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

whoo!

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I showed the dogs the weather map and they're both barking! lol

6:44 am

MollyL

Kap, will send ambulance, crisis intervention team and burn specialists to attend to your coffee mishap.

6:46 am

dcseain

oh yay, flash flood warnings yet again. I hope we don't get snow through the Winter like we've been getting rain of late.

6:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm going to watch yesterdays Daus on line. syl

6:47 am

dcseain

njoy, kaplan

6:48 am

MollyL

I'm banking on the fact that a rainy Fall will bring a dry Winter. And praying, and hoping and wishing.

6:48 am

dcseain

i expect a cold one, what with it being a La Niña year, and am hoping it's reasonably dry.

6:49 am

rubyfoo

nope, I was wrong, it was the gardener, not the maps!

6:50 am

rubyfoo

last year, we had more than 2 ft of snow, all at once, in December, and then the rest of the winter was warm and very dry

6:51 am

dcseain

snow in December is rare here. We get most from mid-Jan to early March, with lat Jan/early Feb usually being the worst in bad years.

6:51 am

dcseain

at least it's rained enough that a dry winter won't hurt the reservoirs much.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

it continued to be dry all spring, but the summer was perfect, just enough rain

6:52 am

rubyfoo

we've had our coldest weather, more than once in our 14 winters, in Dec

6:53 am

rubyfoo

(very bad syntakx -- eat shoots and leaves)

6:55 am

dcseain

Surprisingly temperate climate in that area

6:55 am

dcseain

are you in a valley?

6:56 am

bichon

hi dc, ruby

6:56 am

dcseain

morning, bichon

6:57 am

dcseain

bah. tom's making popcorn. i hope he doesn't use bacon fat. pork fat stinks to high hell

6:57 am

bichon

no list today I see

6:57 am

rubyfoo

6:57 am

dcseain

could i get a hint for to8, pls?

6:58 am

dcseain

morewords is not helping me

6:58 am

dcseain

NegativeNeil has a list in his profile, bichon

6:58 am

rubyfoo

if that was for me, seain, yes, we are in the valley of Lake Annecy, much like the Finger Lakes, but much warmer

6:58 am

bichon

Just sttarted dc

6:58 am

dcseain

sounds lovely, ruby

6:59 am

rubyfoo

it is incredibly beautiful. If you have GoogleEarth, look up Veyrier du Lac and route de Morat and you will see the dogs running around in the garden

7:00 am

rubyfoo

not strategically important here, so you can get very close

7:01 am

bichon

I'm going to try that ruby

7:20 am

Anniebrook

7:21 am

car.eeyore

Bye Ruby!

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

same here, car -- enable's spelling is wrong IMHO!

7:21 am

Anniebrook

Enable is being ornery and not accepting the OR ending

7:21 am

BzznBea

er, car.

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

morning, annie :-)

7:21 am

MollyL

It is widely spelled with an OR...Google it

car.eeyore

OK...just checking.

7:22 am

Anniebrook

HI Une:)...I dont know that sketch on SNL but it reads funny

7:22 am

Uneaixoise

that's how they answered the phone in the sorority house :-)

7:22 am

Anniebrook

Got it, thanks Une

7:23 am

MollyL

As a matter of fact, when you Google the ER spelling of that word, the OR word comes up. *Thumbs nose at Enable*

7:23 am

Anniebrook

*standing next to Molly...doing the same*

7:24 am

car.eeyore

<--- standing next to Annie...

7:24 am

Sally-catlover

I like to pick the high scoring ones.

9:24 am

Sally-catlover

mrp was on very briefly to say there would be no lickety list, there was a lot of grief and she couldn't write more at the moment. It was just after the flip I think, I had done a search to see if there was any news, so you can find it in the early chat.

i just looked at the chog for about one hour after the flip and i see things are chaotic for them atm

9:27 am

Yes. I think that would have been when she posted, using lickety's id.

I've had a few experiences as an observer (not a participant!) and I find it so interesting that belly dancing as a cultural expression is seen as family fare - nothing taboo or sexual about it, I've seen it at weddings, all kinds of family parties, etc.

It does seem to be the never ending drama Ru.

I have to assume that Lickety is okay since it was posted that he turned up at his Dad's house. The rest of it appears to be personal issues between those two.

Mapmakers will often insert a tiny piece of incorrect information in their maps to prevent the illegal reproduction of their work. Called a “copyright trap,” the fake text might be a bogus street name or even the mapmakers’ initials hidden in the corner of a city park.

she's better today; stronger and breathings' better. We gave her some very strong diuretics (fluid pills) to get the water weight off and they seem to be helping now

1:13 pm

periwinkle

good to hear

1:14 pm

Nef

yeah. I haven't been able to get her Oxygen down to a more normal level yet; so that's a worry; but maybe after the fluid os gone we can do that

1:16 pm

Oh that's good Nef. Sounds like a lot of worry.

Good to see justice being done for once. This guy was pure evil and deserves to go away for a long time: http://bit.ly/po2jGg

even for me (as a nurse) it's hard to watch someone struggle to breathe. I did all I could; but all the nursey type things weren't helping for a while there. I didn't want her to die while struggling to breathe!

wow, neil. That is so sad for those kids!

And from the complete idiots factfile.....

The perils of relying on search engines to find YouTube footage for documentaries have been laid bare by ITV1's Exposure mistakenly airing scenes from a video game rather than an IRA film.

Exposure's producers had intended to broadcast footage of paramilitaries shooting down a British helicopter, originally aired on investigative series The Cook Report and now available on YouTube.

It is understood that the images that were supposed to be used were these ones, labelled "PIRA shoot down British Heli".

However, anyone typing "PIRA shoot down British Helicopter" into YouTube's search box brings up footage of a helicopter being shot at in the video game Arma 2.

It is thought that a simple wrong search and click led to the incorrect scenes being uploaded and then broadcast on national TV – to the embarrassment of ITV.

Fellow documentary makers said they were surprised that the mistake was not picked up by ITV and the experienced producers. One of them, Sylvia Jones, used to work on The Cook Report and another, Clive Maltby, was a picture editor on World in Action.

An ITV spokesman confirmed that the correct footage is in the process of being added and said that the re-edited programme is due to be put up on ITV Player on Thursday.

It comes as a contributor approached to supply pictures to another episode of Exposure told MediaGuardian that he was told that there was "no budget" for stills and footage.

Alan Turnbull, who runs the website secret-bases, said he was approached by the respected independent production company Brook Lapping to use aerial shots of Kent military site Fort Halstead for an episode called Exposure: The World's Deadliest Arms Race.

"Sadly, Brook Lapping's researcher told me there was 'no budget' and so didn't want to cough-up a serious fee for usage rights. So the deal didn't go ahead," Turnbull said.

He told MediaGuardian that he had asked for around £1,000 for the photos to be used in perpetuity and around the world, but was declined.

However, an ITV sources said Exposure: The World's Deadliest Arms Race is one of the most expensive episodes of the series as it contains a lot of foreign footage.

One documentary maker added: "Negotiations with copyright holders about the rates they expect [or] hope to license images or footage for a programme and balancing editorial need against budget and other options available is an everyday process on any film of this type."

I grew up in Bernardsville, which is very close

we moved there when I was in the 6th grade; before that we lived in Plainfield

2:37 pm

that is lovely as well all the towns in that neck of morris co are old and beautiful

2:38 pm

bethn

I am not as familiar with plainfield, I think we may have been there years ago but it is not in my regular orbit

2:38 pm

uusue2

yes - the landscape is surprisingly pretty as well - people have this view of New Jersey as being like what you see on the turnpike near Newark, and a lot of it is not like that at all

2:39 pm

ok, must get to next meeting, sigh, didn't get much done today :-(

Stidkid #2 is home feeling poorly... I think it's a flu shot reaction, he's felt poorly for several hours a day since the day after the shot. REALLY bad on Sunday, but today he called from school (never does that) and was glad to come home (from a kid who loves school). BUT. no fever, no particular achy badness, just overall yuckiness and cold.

I have to decide what to wear to stay dry. And my fear with rain and mud is that I will wipe-out when running on the field to examine and injured boy.

2:50 pm

Scrabbler

Hi neil

2:50 pm

bethn

it is easy going for the first 240 then they are harder to see

2:50 pm

stidmama

I know it's not the flu, but wondered if the albumin could do something like this? Although the school nurse did say that there is "something going around" this week.

2:50 pm

stidmama

thanks neil

2:50 pm

negativeneil

Oh really Scrabbler? Wow. Good to know... know how many people claim they got the flu from it? {headshake] What I think is they got the flu from other sick patients at the clinic.

2:51 pm

negativeneil

List in profile if anybody wants it.

2:51 pm

stidmama

I didn't react to it at all.

2:51 pm

ivesy3

have it neil ty

2:51 pm

Scrabbler

Something is perpetually going around and kids share quite well.

2:51 pm

negativeneil

yw

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

I had quite a local reaction as usual--red, swollen, tender, and itchy.

2:52 pm

bethn

down to 30 here i will list in a while. it is either list or chat, i cannot multitask with babble.

2:52 pm

stidmama

yep. you'd never know he was my kid from the way he shares food and drinks... hm. what does mono start like?

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

get the list, Beth. Why suffer?

2:52 pm

stidmama

I never had it, my brother did, but I was already away at college...

2:52 pm

negativeneil

Yeah any time of year too it seems. I'm just getting over a cold... first for me this time of year.

2:53 pm

ivesy3

being diabetic i have to have a flu shot every year. so far no reaction

2:53 pm

Scrabbler

Mono can be symptom-free. 99% of adults by age 40 are immune. Classic mono = yucky tonsillitis, massive lymph nodes in neck, fever, fatigue. treatment = time + rest.

2:55 pm

stidmama

okay. well, no fever, so no worry. *watchful mama eyes on standby*

2:55 pm

stidmama

thanks scrabs. Oh! talked to Tom's parentals a couple times in the last couple days. They send their best and hope you are well.

2:55 pm

Scrabbler

Rest, hydration, pain relief and time for the immune system to do its job = recipe for almost all illnesses.

2:56 pm

Scrabbler

I need to write to them. *bad Scrabbler*

2:56 pm

stidmama

Then we're doing the right things, which I kind of figured.

2:56 pm

stidmama

LOL I was NOT trying to guilt-trip you!

(but yes, they love hearing from you)

2:57 pm

Scrabbler

Just like our parents did--get on the couch with a blanket, have soup and ginger ale, sleep a lot, take baby aspirin (a no-no now) and give it time.

2:58 pm

Ouwachita

is there a list for today?...getting close but don't have a lot of time

2:58 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Ou

2:58 pm

stidmama

I got some 81 mg aspirins for our dog... he's getting a little lame at times. But we generally use tylenol.

2:58 pm

stidmama

Neil has a list, ouwachita

2:59 pm

Scrabbler

I take one baby aspirin daily as stroke prevention, especially because I am a migraineur.

2:59 pm

stidmama

I get such ringing in the ears from most NSAIDS that I was not even considering aspirin for myself.

3:00 pm

Scrabbler

maybe the small dose will be tolerable.

3:00 pm

stidmama

Yes! NBT!

3:00 pm

bethn

oh lord- more flood warnings for nj :( another 2-3 inches today

3:01 pm

Scrabbler

6 tiles with zero for me

3:01 pm

stidmama

okay, I am taking the elder kiddo into town for a job interview at McD's.... he tried to meet the hiring manager Monday but was out sick so he called this morning. I am looking forward to some time at one of the close-by boutiques... LOL I rarely window shop these days.

3:01 pm

stidmama

(((Hugs for all)))

**choclits in PB if needed**

*poof*

3:01 pm

Scrabbler

My sister lives in northern Bergen County and got a flooded basement from irene--> $4000 in damages (carpeting, etc)

4:08 pm

rubyfoo

DH is going to be 86 on Friday and I think he's very depressed. Hopefully, he'll like his gifts and will cheer up. At least the weather is perfect!

4:08 pm

bichon

ruby, what was your address again. I never actually got to see your house

4:08 pm

kje

depressed about turnig 86?

4:09 pm

rubyfoo

this evening "our" hawk attacked the tree where the birds roost at night. I could here her crashing into it three times. I'm afraid to tell husband, or he'll try to shoot her

4:09 pm

rubyfoo

47, route de Morat. It's a tiny street with the Route de Thones at the bottom of our garden. The house is pinkish

4:10 pm

rubyfoo

I think this hawk is an inept hunter; she seems to be crashing a lot

4:10 pm

bichon

and the town?

4:10 pm

ivesy3

ra 5/16 plz

4:10 pm

rubyfoo

yes, kje, I think he is thinking about the end

4:11 pm

rubyfoo

Veyrier du Lac, southeast from Annecy

4:11 pm

bichon

a daisy is ra***

4:11 pm

kje

tell him to sap out of it and be thankful he made it to 86

4:11 pm

rubyfoo

it is not a stretegic arean, so GoogleEarth goes uite low

4:12 pm

rubyfoo

that's what I tell him, but he's always been a PITA pessimist

4:12 pm

bichon

It's on street view

4:12 pm

ivesy3

flower?? lol

4:12 pm

rubyfoo

sorry for the typos, it's past my bedtime, just wanted to see if there was any news about Tuesday's drama

4:13 pm

MollyL

Ivesy, what the sun shines in, past tense

4:13 pm

bichon

Anyone find out anything from down under yet?

4:13 pm

rubyfoo

it is dark now, so you will see it better in the orning, bichon. I can't always find it, but one time, I was able to get a sweeping view of the valley

4:13 pm

ivesy3

ty both!

4:14 pm

negativeneil

Who the heck I am is me, Ouwachita. And no, I haven't made it to the moon yet.

4:14 pm

bichon

yvw ivesy

4:14 pm

negativeneil

Pretty easy to text search my name... not that anyone has to when I leave myself logged in to they have access to the clues list?

4:14 pm

rubyfoo

I feel sure you will make it here one day, Bichon

4:15 pm

ivesy3

and we appreciate it neil

4:15 pm

negativeneil

But hey, I guess I don't need to if someone copies it to their profile and everyone's using that?

4:16 pm

negativeneil

Glad some of you do, ivsey3.

4:17 pm

negativeneil

But I'll log out since everyone's using hoot's. It's good that I don't need to stay logged in. Have fun. :)

4:17 pm

bichon

Instead of going to Hawaii this Xmas, I'll come to Annency ruby

4:17 pm

MollyL

Oh, you two would be dangerous together Bich. Look out France!

4:18 pm

bichon

Actually, I'll come in the spring. Se rubys great garden

4:18 pm

rubyfoo

you would be welcomed with open arms but somehow, I think swimming would be better in Hawaii! The most beautiful time here is April May but this year early spring and summer were both wonderful

4:19 pm

rubyfoo

t is hard living so far away but, at the same time, I don't think we could have found a better, affordable place in the US

4:20 pm

bichon

Do you have close family in the US ruby?

4:20 pm

MollyL

Ruby I hope your husband has a mood improvement by his birthday.

4:20 pm

rubyfoo

do we sound dangerous Molly? I like that as I think I'm growing increasingly conventional as I age, wild youth was spent

4:20 pm

rubyfoo

I may start putting xanax in his food....lol

4:20 pm

MollyL

Dangerous = vivacious Ruby. You and Bich would be the toast of the town.

4:21 pm

bichon

I'm dog crazy. I would kidnap all les petites chiens

4:21 pm

rubyfoo

yes, I have a sister in NY, cousin in various pleases and a big family in London. It is difficult to leave right now because of poor Burt and our lovely dogs

4:22 pm

rubyfoo

our chiens are far from petit! 75 stinky pounds, eadh but gorgeous. I will try to post some pictures I took of her tomorrow

4:22 pm

bichon

No, around town. Maybe some Bichons, Cotons?

4:23 pm

rubyfoo

and there are hundreds of big goldfish.

4:23 pm

rubyfoo

Many small dogs here, very few chows!

4:24 pm

rubyfoo

they're considered too exotic.... silly. I guess, and high upkeep

4:24 pm

bichon

I have to see a fluff every place I visit. Even saw one in Stockholm this summer

4:24 pm

kje

I had a chow years ago... amed shalom

4:24 pm

kje

named

4:24 pm

rubyfoo

I will ask around and see if anybodyknows any bichons

4:25 pm

rubyfoo

4:25 pm

sammysmom

hi babblers.... any news yet on mr P??

4:25 pm

MollyL

Hi KJE, how is the training going?

4:25 pm

kje

4:25 pm

kje

4:26 pm

bichon

kj, you dog was named Shalom, as in Hebrew for peace

4:26 pm

kje

yes

4:26 pm

rubyfoo

Ruby is shaded beige/blonde. Max is black

4:26 pm

MollyL

It sounds like you will be more than ready for your walk. I hope you raise lots of money.

4:26 pm

kje

we do 15 miles this saturday

4:26 pm

witchy

whats happened to Mrp?

4:27 pm

bichon

domestic problems

4:27 pm

rubyfoo

that is a lovely dog name; our names are very conventinal

4:27 pm

MollyL

Wow, good for you.

4:27 pm

witchy

ah ok

4:27 pm

bichon

First we had Muffin, Biscuit and Cupcake. The new generation is Marco & Polo

4:27 pm

kje

she was the smartest dog i ever had...house trained i less than a week... and could learn tricks in a couple tries

4:28 pm

rubyfoo

I Wonder if she'll be too embarrassed to come back

4:28 pm

MollyL

Muffin Biscuit! That is the nickname I was trying to remember. : )

4:28 pm

bichon

Mine aren't smart, just stubborn. They are more intersted in being adored

4:29 pm

rubyfoo

chows are very clean about housebreaking, have never had a problem with any of the 5. Tricks are another question thugh. They sort of go "What, you want me to do what?" lIKE TRAINING CATS

4:29 pm

MollyL

Who Ruby? Mr. President?

4:29 pm

rubyfoo

YES

4:30 pm

rubyfoo

she made us all upset and frustrated at not being able to help

4:30 pm

bichon

Male Bichons are impossible to housebreak. None of mine have been completely. They wear a belly band with a pad. How embarrassing that I am telling you this

4:30 pm

MollyL

Well, I hope if she needs the support of her friends, she will feel free to come back. But they need to work out their personal stuff in private.

4:30 pm

kje

shalom would fetch, roll over, ad shake hands... as well as typical obediece stuff like sit and heel

4:30 pm

rubyfoo

at almost 9, Ruby comes when I call her, but not always.

4:31 pm

bichon

mine come if I offer treats. They have me over a barrel

4:31 pm

rubyfoo

and they don't fetdh or do anything that isn't for their own pleasure. Just lie around looking beautiful and waiting to be cuddled

4:32 pm

bichon

now that our dogs have in common

4:32 pm

inge

DR

4:32 pm

rubyfoo

the great news is that they are wonderful watch dogs and people wouldn't dare come onto the property without my saying it's OK

4:33 pm

kje

yes, she would bark

4:33 pm

rubyfoo

but neither one has ever showed teeth except for the occasional smile, showing only the little bottom teeth

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

how long did she live as that is my biggest worry

4:34 pm

kje

got her as a pup ad she was eager to please and loved the attention... gave her away at 3 years so didn't get the 9 years of old age attitude

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

we have never had one live past 10

4:35 pm

rubyfoo

max is autistic and is on prozac and is doing much better

4:35 pm

rubyfoo

and they eat like kings

4:35 pm

kje

how do you know a dog is autistic

4:36 pm

rubyfoo

speaking of eating, I want my midnight snack of poor man's sushi

4:36 pm

bichon

autistic dogs?

4:36 pm

kje

i am eatig rich ma's sushi - lol

4:37 pm

rubyfoo

I had just read Temple Grandin's books when he arrived, and he had all the classic symptoms: wouldn't make eye contact, was afraid of noise, usued to hide in the garden and have to be carried out, stuff like that. The vets thought I was crazy, but the prozac helped him become a real family member, though still very shy

4:38 pm

bichon

I don't think Prozac is used for autistics

4:38 pm

rubyfoo

he even likes to be petted now and he's only 8! lol

4:38 pm

rubyfoo

Temple Granin suggested it and she is my God!

4:38 pm

MollyL

No, prozac is an anti-depressant.

4:38 pm

bichon

Who is Temple Grandin?

4:38 pm

rubyfoo

it's an "off-label " use and, trust me, it worked

4:39 pm

kje

down to 60 - bbl

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

she is the highly functioning autistic who developed a humane way of leading cattle to slaughter

4:39 pm

MollyL

Well shut my mouth. Apparently prozac IS used treating autism. Pardon moi.

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

my MD prescribes it, laughing all the way

4:40 pm

rubyfoo

one of the vets thought I was crazy, but wrote it all down anyway.

4:40 pm

bichon

I didn't know there was any medicine for treating autisism

4:40 pm

rubyfoo

most peole would have destroyed to dog, as weird as he was. But he was very gentle and absolutely gorgeous.

4:41 pm

bichon

Well, speaking of dogs, they have eaten and now we have the obvious next step

4:41 pm

rubyfoo

it isn't a cure, but it helps them integrate

4:41 pm

rubyfoo

I JUST LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AND OUT THEY GO WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE. whoops, shouting, I am falling asleep

4:42 pm

rubyfoo

good night, my friends

4:43 pm

4:46 pm

lbuxx

i am too stubborn not to be bothered by not finishing.. lol

4:47 pm

MollyL

I don't use Expert so I'm not feeling the pinch. I bet it's weird for people who are used to using it though.

4:47 pm

EvaNadine

evenin babblers!

4:47 pm

lbuxx

i didn't know what it was at first but once i figured it out.. walah- spoiled!

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

so expert doesn't work when there is no list?

4:48 pm

MollyL

Hi Eva.

4:49 pm

MollyL

I'm guessing Expert has to be updated just like the list. Someone said yesterday that the list updates automatically, but I didn't think that was the case.

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

no when lickety was ill it was not updated

4:50 pm

EvaNadine

no update on Lickety, i presume?

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

mr p came on early this morning to say no list for foreseeable future

4:54 pm

EvaNadine

im sure no one cares too much about that in light of what they are going through.

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

no most people just wish them well

4:55 pm

EvaNadine

sprite used to have a method of coming up with a list. i wonder if thats still functional...

4:56 pm

7:03 pm

stidmama

I don't go to either one very often.

7:03 pm

Jellen

Oh, I was just going to ask you about mrp, but didn't want to tie up chat.

7:04 pm

stidmama

I can hop on to either one, but really all I know is what has been posted in the chog the last few days.

7:04 pm

Jellen

7:21 pm

gremlinn

Shouldn't "realtor" work?

7:21 pm

periwinkle

yes but apparently not with enable, grem

7:21 pm

gremlinn

And "grody" !

7:22 pm

Anniebrook

congrats, gremlinn!

7:22 pm

gremlinn

7:26 pm

Jellen

Is this the 10,000 piece puzzle?

7:26 pm

Jellen

Whoa.

7:27 pm

Jellen

It's impossible for me to do the smallest of puzzles. My cats won't let me.

7:28 pm

7:30 pm

BzznBea

7:30 pm

stidgmere

I like jigsaw puzzles but we don't have a table set up for it at this time. That's what we need.

7:31 pm

gremlinn

After finding a to5/10 of 166 words, I do not feel like de4/5ing with the grid anymore. I have de 5/12 with it long enough. Here is a story of clues for my de 4/5 Babble friends.Husband has been looking for a job for 2 years. Even though companies advertised as an eq 5/16 opportunity employer,my hubby felt like he was not getting any opportunities.Hubby had been out of work for a very long time & he could not seem to find a job with ea4/4.Three days ago,he finally got a job. He started working for a tr4/4 cutting company. He was so el6/21 when he got the job since he had been out of work for two ye4/6s. When hubby started the job, he was gr 5/14ed with open arms and the people were really nice.Hubby did not care if he was making le4/4 money than before. He was just re4/4ly happy to have a job. Well, today he was four minutes la 4/4 and they let him go. Hubby said to his boss that their clocks were 4 minutes fast. She re8/45 "no they are not,and if they are,then you have to go by our time! Now hubby believes their welcome was just a te 5/10 and he was sl6/21 to fail from the first day. I am still re4/4ing over the fact his boss let him go so quickly. My hubby turned down another job offer so he could accept this. Now he reg5/14s doing that. I just hope this does not de 5/12 hubby from looking for another job. Not to sound gr5/16y, but I have do5/14 on him long enough with my salary. Now I am going to te 4/4 myself away from this game and get out of this se4/4 and go do something el 4/4 like go watch the film "De 5/14 of Salesman". I probably will not be back la5/10.

7:47 pm

7:58 pm

EvaNadine

7:58 pm

negativeneil

You didn't see me say hi at 7:53 pm, jes?

7:58 pm

pigeonman

to8?

7:59 pm

uusue2

de8 = something you do to corn before eating or harvesting it

7:59 pm

pigeonman

nm found it.

7:59 pm

Shirlockc

silk? husk?

7:59 pm

uusue2

(farmers around here actually hire armies of 16-year-olds to de8 the corn)

8:00 pm

uusue2

but maybe you have to live in the middle of hundreds of square miles of corn fields for that to make any sense :-P

8:02 pm

rururocks

.. can we have a moment of silence for someone who is suffering greatly?

8:03 pm

uusue2

8:03 pm

rururocks

8:05 pm

MollyL

8:05 pm

uusue2

8:05 pm

rururocks

I feel like I'm living with Mother Teresa sometimes

8:05 pm

EvaNadine

8:05 pm

jesdraggon

8:06 pm

uusue2

8:06 pm

Shirlockc

stidmama

8:06 pm

rururocks

... yes molly.. she at least eats well..lol

8:06 pm

uusue2

erm, how should we interpret that Mother Teresa remark, exactly, ruru?

8:06 pm

MollyL

Diane gave the best clue for de8. To remove what hangs from a mortarboard.

8:06 pm

EvaNadine

ahh. THAT one i know. :)

8:06 pm

gremlinn

I rather liked the clue involving strippers and nipples.

8:07 pm

uusue2

it's actually a common word around here, molly, but like I said you have to live in the middle of corn fields.

8:07 pm

gremlinn

Or was that for the other de8?

8:07 pm

Minveryork

de 7/40: beginning of Tide Laundry De***** Shirlockc.

8:34 pm

jesdraggon

8:34 pm

stidmama

I was in a friend's house a couple days ago -- I am not allergic to her cat... but the problem is that I have to be around a cat for several days sometimes before the allergies take hold. And for me, I can't imagine bringing an animal home if I couldn't be sure I could keep it.

8:34 pm

stidmama

ah, poor kitty.

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

*wondering what evan did with extra nipples she received at bacherlorette party*

8:34 pm

stidmama

I would hate to have a critter come home, get settled in and then have to leave.

8:35 pm

jesdraggon

you could come visit me, and stay at a hotel with the kitty for the weekend, as a trial. :)

8:35 pm

MollyL

*Thinks Eva meant she got ta6/18s*

8:35 pm

stidmama

LOL jes! you are so funny!

8:36 pm

stidmama

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

8:36 pm

jesdraggon

Hi

9:34 pm

SeaSpray

Hi all could I get a clue for the de 8..not the nipple one

9:34 pm

gremlinn

Sounds like it could mean a person who removes NaCl

9:34 pm

MollyL

Someone who takes saline out of things Sea.

9:35 pm

MollyL

And "not the nipple one" made me laugh. : )

9:35 pm

SeaSpray

ty so much Molly and gremlinn

9:35 pm

SeaSpray

lol didn't know how else to express that one

9:40 pm

kje

kje

ha! didn't know that one

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

Is that even a word?

9:42 pm

MollyL

Probably not Herin, but since when does that stop enable. Actually, Sue said it refers to what is done to corn crops.

9:43 pm

kje

I ca see the spelling bee... detassel... can you use it in a sentence?... to remove stripwear...

9:44 pm

MollyL

Okay, that was such a good laugh, KJE, that you are exempt from going to the PB.

9:44 pm

kje

oh wow... that was dumb... sorry

9:44 pm

SeaSpray

I have been around farms all my life and have never heard that about the corn crop...I would go with the stripwear

9:45 pm

wildcat17

anyone know why my words won't go to the list in expert?

9:45 pm

MollyL

No, seriously, if you say something that funny, you are exempt. I just made a new rule. Sue me.

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

jmcnrick

i think i used it on a friday that one of the words in the gird was airship

11:02 pm

herinfernallady

Fire you know that a pint of ice cream fits in an oven glove so you don't melt the ice cream

11:02 pm

jmcnrick

i was in a bad mood about my remodeling and came this close to putting a pic of it blowing up

11:03 pm

jmcnrick

huh?

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

You know pint containers of ice cream like Ben and Jerrys?

11:03 pm

jmcnrick

why would you put a pint of ice cream in an oven glove?

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

Well you can fit them in an oven glove so your hands don't melt to container

11:04 pm

herinfernallady

No more gooshy sides

11:04 pm

jmcnrick

ah

11:04 pm

firefly779

i use a burp rag from the baby (clean-ish) so my hand don't freeze, but the no melting sides is a nice benefit

11:04 pm

firefly779

lol

11:04 pm

herinfernallady

One of the babblers mentioned it and I thought it was a great idea

11:04 pm

jmcnrick

we used to take ice cream and stir it until it was all gooshy and call it goo

11:05 pm

jmcnrick

but we also made a recipe of mayonaise, ketchup and mustard we called goo too

11:05 pm

jmcnrick

i am afraid we were not too clever with names for food

11:53 pm

jmcnrick

11:53 pm

hootowl

11:53 pm

cosdem

11:53 pm

jmcnrick

hootowl

It will be online at www. jonstewart.com

11:54 pm

jmcnrick

i check with everyone and they said that the only way to go on bill o'reillly's show was in person and then his manner overrode his basic lying jerkdom

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

I wasn't too familiar with him other than the dumb ass factor

11:54 pm

hootowl

hi herin hows Oz these days?

11:54 pm

hootowl

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

Cold today. We had a massive thunder and lightening storm yesterday arvo

11:54 pm

jmcnrick

11:54 pm

cosdem

ahhh i just read the last time he was on the show whoopi walked out on them

11:54 pm

hootowl

yeah he skewers you with a smile

11:55 pm

herinfernallady

The only late night talk shows we get is Dave Letterman and Craig Fergoson *on free tv)

11:55 pm

jmcnrick

11:55 pm

jmcnrick

whoopi is a woman of taste

11:55 pm

herinfernallady

This storm went for about 2 hours yesterday.

11:55 pm

vanillaslice

ew.html

11:56 pm

jmcnrick

11:56 pm

jmcnrick

hi vanilla

11:56 pm

jmcnrick

pint say hi to everyone!

11:56 pm

herinfernallady

She has a very valid point. Let's all point our fingers at Obama and say he isn't doing diddly but you are all forgetting that no one actually wants to help him do something other than be a spaz

11:56 pm

cosdem

we have a heat wave here :(

11:56 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Vanilla

11:56 pm

cosdem

hot during the days but freezing at night.

11:57 pm

jmcnrick

he has actually done a lot of what he promised it is just that people lied to themselves about what he promised

11:57 pm

Pint1

Hello all

11:57 pm

hootowl
