i always asked you how many words....and then how many s's etc...would write the numbers down and start looking

2:00 am

VolleymomDee

I remember... still shocked me even then that you ever finished

2:00 am

westford

lickety designed a program didn't he?

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

too bad dr god didn't buy that program from lickety

2:02 am

westford

and then he and mrp kindly shared it

2:02 am

sammysmom

ram i the only one who has a 3 minute lag at this time every night ???

2:02 am

dart001

when i got the stats...almost sensory overload

2:02 am

westford

we all get lag sammy

2:03 am

Kazzer99

i get one now and then another one in about 13 minutes or so

2:03 am

rbud

the 2 AM hiccup, happens every night

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

I remember feeling that way, too dart

2:04 am

westford

3:00 a.m. lag here every night

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

keep fingers crossed everyone... will know by Friday who is paying for inspection items xxxxx

2:05 am

rbud

oh, best of luck with it, Dee, hope it all gets ir6 out.

2:05 am

westford

what did they find wrong?

2:06 am

westford

surely not very much

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

bad garbage disposal; radon pipe needs to be extended (reading was .6 so it wasn't a prob thank goodness); new connector needed on panel box

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

nothing too major, but our realtor told us to ask to have it all paid for by seller... we did, but hubby will give in if that is a prob... we just want the house

2:07 am

rubyfoo

good morning. A nice big grid for a blah Tuesday

2:07 am

westford

that's not much at all..surprised they didn't replace the garbage disposal

2:08 am

westford

hello ruby..still no word?

2:08 am

Kazzer99

sorry if it painful but any news of your dog ruby

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

not sure they knew; getting so excited I can barely breathe :)

2:09 am

westford

I'm excited for you !!!

2:10 am

Kazzer99

I am stuck on the 2nd ce 6/21

2:10 am

westford

is the new house close by?

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

within 10 miles

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

ruby, what happened to your dog?

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

2 ce 6/21's ce + designation on sheet of musical of what to play

2:11 am

rubyfoo

no news on Max, so I fear that he's dead under some hedge or bush somewhere, probably won't be found 'til Spring but, because we've been so terribly sad, I contacted our "chow friend" in Italy to look around for a mall pup and she may have found one. He will be 3 months old mid-March and the hopefulness of that has made us both stop crying.

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

ce + sun will .... from the east

2:11 am

rubyfoo

It may sound callous, but I think it is the only thing I can do for my depressed husband and for sad Ruby and me.

2:11 am

Kazzer99

aha thats the one I want

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

soooo glad ruby.... not callous, but you need to fill the void of a pet (not that Max won't be missed)

2:12 am

rubyfoo

ty kazzer, starting with a Fr word!

2:12 am

westford

not at all ruby..but I still think Max will show up

2:12 am

rubyfoo

mews

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

when did he go missing?

2:13 am

Kazzer99

oh Ruby that's made me cry as well - we lost one of our little dogs a few years ago but we never found her

2:13 am

rubyfoo

and I think a new fuzzy puppy will be just the thing for all of us. And, if by some miracle, Max returns to us, then we'll have 3 chows!

2:13 am

rubyfoo

Friday night

2:14 am

Kazzer99

oh wow that will make life exciting - chow pups can be boisterous at times

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

interesting household

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

makes you wonder if someone stole him

2:14 am

rubyfoo

we've had 5 and they've all been wonderful and housebroken right away

2:14 am

gran

How many words today please

2:15 am

Kazzer99

260 gran

2:15 am

rubyfoo

I don't think so because he was so strange and timid and, although gentle as could be, he was very scary-looking

2:15 am

westford

your ruby will take him under her wing and teach him the ropes

2:15 am

Kazzer99

must go and get ready for work - still got the flu but never mind

2:15 am

rubyfoo

she just wanders around looking for Max (as do husband and me)

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

feel better soon kazz!

2:15 am

rubyfoo

2:16 am

gran

Thanks

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

had sad news yesterday... a sweet lady from church, just retired 2 weeks ago; went to FL with her hubby; went to church on Sunday, wasn't feeling well was taken to hosp in ambulance, and was dead upon arrival at hosp....

2:16 am

rubyfoo

hello mystery gran!

2:16 am

westford

kazzer just stay home..we'll write you a note

2:16 am

westford

oh dee that is sad

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

really reminded us how precious life is

2:17 am

dizgrannie

Oh dear {{HUGGLES}} Dee

2:17 am

Kazzer99

wish i could West but just too much to do and no one else to do it

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

she worked with hubby's mom about 30 years ago... really sweet; hard life; had worked so hard always

2:17 am

Kazzer99

byeee

2:17 am

rubyfoo

this has been a bad week for many of us! I think many people last through the winter and then die just before spring starts (or, often, just before their birthdays)

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

ty diz... good for her to be in presence of the Lord, but sad for those left behind

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

I totally agree ruby... stats support that comment

2:18 am

rubyfoo

and I think we should never worry about spoiling our loved ones, children, dogs, parents, as they can be taken away in a flash

2:19 am

westford

so true ruby

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

agreed

2:21 am

dizgrannie

Life is sooo precious....we will be celebrating my Mums 85th birthday this week end...and one of my nieces isn't coming cos she doesn't approve of her mum's new partner (her mum has been widowed for 12 yrs and has found a ray of sunshine)

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

had such an amazing ladies' Bible study tonight at church... almost 30 women of all ages came... studying Jonah... it was soooo cool... also had the best homemade cupcakes ever!

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

Isn't that nuts diz??

2:21 am

rubyfoo

we are waiting for a picture of the pup. He lives on the other side of Lake Maggiore and is related to all of our chows

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

probably based on selfishness and greed

2:22 am

rubyfoo

that niece sounds mean-spirited and she will regret her attitude later on

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

how long til you get the pup

2:23 am

rubyfoo

we have to see his picture first, then it is strictly a logistical question as he will be old enough on the 13th

2:23 am

rubyfoo

he was described as "light red" and I don't know what that means

2:23 am

rubyfoo

but is said to have a great head, good bones, clear eyes and a sweet disposition

2:24 am

Haz1558

That sounds like a description of my husband.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

hang on going to check out a pic of a chow have no clue what they look like

2:24 am

flosey

hi ruby, sounds great

2:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:24 am

rubyfoo

great head, good bones, clear eyes, haz?

2:24 am

rubyfoo

and hello

2:25 am

flosey

just left to get ready for bed, back for a few more before sleep

2:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, ruby, and the sweet disposition - most of the time!

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

some of the faces almost look like bear cubs with shorter noses... I don't think I have ever seen one in person

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

list in my profile, flosey, when you need it (compliments of dart's efforts)

2:26 am

rubyfoo

this has been so difficult, especially seeing my husband crushed by his sadness at losing Max

2:26 am

flosey

thanks Dee, always appreciate your lists

2:26 am

dart001

and md and gran

2:26 am

flosey

and grateful for Dart's assistance

2:27 am

Haz1558

ruby, I can sympathise. My husband went to pieces over Spangle and is still not happy at the thought of getting another dog.

2:27 am

flosey

and md and gran

2:27 am

Jivingjenny0

clue for the 10 please

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

great community effort for sure... love it!

2:27 am

rubyfoo

I didn't even ask him, just went ahead and contacts our friend in Italy. And he has finally stoped crying

2:27 am

dart001

10 is someone who tosses a king out of his seat

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

de 10/84 pl of one who knows someone off a royal seat

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

oops sorry lag here

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I'm so sorry, Haz, I didn't realize that you had lost Spangle. RIP Spangle!

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

meant knocks

2:28 am

flosey

thanks for that clue Dee, got 4 from it

2:29 am

dart001

4 big ones too

2:29 am

Haz1558

She had to be put to sleep in November, she had developed kidney failure and was very ill. Husband shed many tears and was much more emotional than I had ever imagined he would be.

2:29 am

Jivingjenny0

gosh, got a load from that one lol

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

wtg

2:30 am

dart001

and 3 more th's

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

so easy to get attached to animals

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

how's your weather in KS, dart?

2:30 am

rubyfoo

men are so strange about that (sorry dart); I think women can share their feelings more easily and it is very helpful

2:31 am

dart001

wiiinnnnddddy

2:31 am

dart001

and warm

2:31 am

rubyfoo

but no tornadoes?

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

looked like wind was pretty high, still

2:31 am

dart001

winds gusting to 50 mph tues...and 40 mph on weds

2:31 am

Haz1558

I think it surprised me because he is a vet and has had to put many animals to sleep over the years. This was different, of course.

2:32 am

dart001

no tornadoes today...big system coming thru midweek...have to keep an eye on it

2:33 am

rubyfoo

How old was Spangle?

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

mid week there or mid week here...

2:33 am

Haz1558

She was 11.

2:33 am

dart001

hi tues 72...hi thurs 42 lol

2:33 am

dart001

here

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

unreal

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

isn't 11 old, haz?

2:35 am

Haz1558

I think the normal life span for her breed is 12-14 years. She had slowed up considerably but we still weren't expecting her to go so soon.

2:36 am

rubyfoo

we've had bad luck with our chows but we still love the breed

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

tough no matter if expected... really amazes me how long dogs can live

2:36 am

rubyfoo

the longest one ha lived was Rufus who was just shy of ten

2:36 am

dart001

ruby..did you finally get any warm weather over there?

2:39 am

rubyfoo

we had a few warm days, but spring is definitely coming. All the bulbs have come up and, if the sun shines this afternoon, I'll have to do some pruning

2:40 am

dart001

that's a good sign

2:40 am

rubyfoo

when all that snow melted, there were 3 inch tulip leaves up already

2:40 am

rubyfoo

now we need some rain

2:45 am

dart001

sorry dozing here....think it's time to head out..nite all

2:46 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that

2:46 am

flosey

goodnight dart

2:46 am

VolleymomDee

hugs to all; gl with gird

2:46 am

VolleymomDee

2:47 am

rubyfoo

2:47 am

flosey

2:49 am

westford

I left to let the cat in and got sidetracked..bye to all who left

2:50 am

rubyfoo

are you up really early or really late, westford?

2:50 am

westford

up late as usual ruby

2:51 am

westford

wanted to see you

2:51 am

rubyfoo

that is very sweet, tnak you

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I haven't even gotten dressed (just made everybody's breakfasts), but was hoping for a photo

2:52 am

westford

I'm still hoping Max will be found

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I would like to name the puppy Rusty, but husband doesn't agree

2:52 am

rubyfoo

as riverdance said yesterday, her new mantra will be "3 chows for Ruby!"

2:53 am

westford

we lived in a pension in Tirrhenia Italy and the owner was a red headed man named Gianni

2:53 am

Haz1558

How old is the new pup?

2:53 am

rubyfoo

hmm, gianni would be cute

2:54 am

rubyfoo

but we have named all the reddish ones with r names: Rosie, Rufus and Ruby

2:54 am

westford

hi haz good to see you

2:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, westford.

2:54 am

rubyfoo

he will be 3 months on the 13th. He family are not breeders but they have chows from the same Canadian bloodlines as ours, Mi_apo kennels in Ontario

2:55 am

westford

an Italian name starting with R shouldn't be too hard to find

2:55 am

rubyfoo

Mi-Pao

2:55 am

rubyfoo

Ruffo

2:56 am

rubyfoo

did any of you see Martha Stewart's homely chow who won best of breed at Westminster? He was beautifully groomed, but not nearly as pretty as Mi-Pao chows

2:56 am

rubyfoo

but he was obviously a real charmer

2:56 am

westford

I did see her chow..they all look beautiful to me

2:57 am

rubyfoo

there's something special about them and their cat-like personalities

2:57 am

westford

love all animals..except opossums

2:57 am

flosey

ah, just passed half way, falling asleep now, goodnight all

2:57 am

flosey

be back in the morning

2:57 am

Haz1558

It always amuses me that an American dog show sounds so British with a name like Westminster.

2:57 am

westford

good night flosey hope you're over your cough

2:57 am

rubyfoo

we once had an opossom in our warehouse in Miami; what a nasty and ugly little creature!

2:58 am

rubyfoo

pointy little teeth

2:58 am

westford

yes big ewww factor ruby lol

2:58 am

flosey

thanks west, I am

2:58 am

Haz1558

Warthogs aren't very decorative either.

2:58 am

westford

that's true

2:58 am

rubyfoo

we had snakes in there too, but I like reptiles so no eew factor for me

2:58 am

flosey

as their name suggests Haz?

2:58 am

westford

but those little hedgehogs are adorable

2:59 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, flosey.

2:59 am

flosey

lol, especially the chocolate ones west

2:59 am

rubyfoo

we have a lot of wild boar here and they wreck people's gardens - not ours, though, we are fenced

2:59 am

rubyfoo

I don't think they have hedehogs here

2:59 am

westford

what are chocolate hedgehogs?

3:00 am

rubyfoo

aah, they are called "herissons"

3:00 am

westford

something I'll have to try I think

3:00 am

flosey

yummy, they're a hazelnut covered with chocolate in the shape of hedgehogs

3:00 am

rubyfoo

but there is very little wildlife, even though we're in the country

3:00 am

rubyfoo

oh, I thought it meant brown ones lol

3:01 am

westford

I know I would like them

3:01 am

flosey

come in both light and dark chocolate

3:01 am

rubyfoo

have seen 3 squirrels in 15 (or 16) years

3:01 am

rubyfoo

and no rabbits -- very weird

3:01 am

flosey

haven't seen a squirrel since leaving Ontario

3:02 am

rubyfoo

I had better go and get dressed or I'll make husband upset

3:02 am

rubyfoo

I think the Fr ate all the deer, squirrels and rabbits during WWII

3:02 am

flosey

I'm off now, for real

3:03 am

Haz1558

See you later, flosey and ruby.

3:03 am

westford

bye flosey and ruby..I'm going to find one more word and join you

3:03 am

rubyfoo

3:03 am

rubyfoo

6:56 am

Trifioso

sue, I don't know if this will help you, but it always helps me no end when I get a bit of poison ivy -- run your hand under the hottest water you can stand - it will literally feel like you are scratching it, for a minute. When you start to feel like it's too hot, take your hand out. The hot water releases histamines, or antiistamines, I always forget which, in your skin, and it won't itch for HOURS.Blessed, blessed relief

She also said it was a babbler.

no she didn't Judi

8:43 am

periwinkle

Annie,I went back to FB and could not see any issues or comments so don't know how long ago that took place

8:44 am

Judi

!!!!????!!!! Not another stalker, I hope.

8:44 am

Anniebrook

I dont know what the timeline is but the way she was "talking" it sounded fairly recent. No it did not sound like a stalker.

8:44 am

car.eeyore

Oh no...

8:45 am

Judi

I swear, that poor woman is a magnet for weirdos.

8:47 am

periwinkle

then it must have been a message directly to mrp that no one else is able to see

8:48 am

Judi

Hmmm. Wonder if it was the person who took up the collection and then absconded with all the donations.

8:48 am

car.eeyore

Good grief! I am so out of the loop!

8:49 am

Judi

This was several months ago, car.

Bye Annie!

Don't see any past tense for that word, am I blind?

No past tense, molly.

Sandieangel

Hi does anyone have a list today please?

10:02 am

MollyL

Put it in the closet next to Gaga's meat dress. Ew.

10:03 am

crosshair

to think,she studied opera to end up wearing a meat dress at the end of it all

10:03 am

MollyL

List in Dee and NoNoNannette's profiles

10:05 am

Sandieangel

Thanks I found the list. anyone know what's happened to licketty recently?

10:10 am

MollyL

According to Mr. President, her Lickety list will not be up for several weeks as she will be "away from her computer".

10:11 am

Sandieangel

Oh I see. But is Licketty himself OK?

10:12 am

MollyL

I have heard (and this is only what I have heard) that he posts regularly at other places, but is not associated with this place any longer.

10:13 am

Sandieangel

Oh! That's a real shame. He was so good about everything. He'll be missed.

10:13 am

MollyL

I agree.

10:14 am

Sandieangel

Well we must be thankful to all the good people who contribute their lists. It is really good of everyone.

10:14 am

MollyL

I agree with that too. There is a real team effort here and it's much appreciated.

10:15 am

Erda

It would be nice if Mrp passed on the ownership of the list to someone who would get it up for us. Just a suggestion.

10:16 am

Sandieangel

That's a good idea. Perhaps it could be suggested to Mrp. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would take the task on.

10:16 am

crosshair

once she is organized,i am sure she will be back

10:16 am

Sandieangel

But it would be good if she had a deputy to share the load.

10:16 am

Erda

define "organized"

10:17 am

crosshair

sometimes real life must intrude

10:17 am

Sandieangel

That's why it is always good to share responsibility. It seems unfair that we all benefit when we could be helping out.

Hello, Aloy.

Has Spring sprung there, Haz?

11:08 am

Haz1558

Well, it had been doing really well, daffodils blooming etc but it has turned cold again.

11:08 am

Haz1558

The only dependable thing about our weather is its unpredictability.

11:09 am

Haz1558

Everyone was geared up for another very cold winter but it never arrived.

11:09 am

we are hold our breaths here.. orange blossoms are profuse.. and if a freeze comes through.. oh oh

holding, that is

the aroma is wonderful

It must be lovely.

11:15 am

Vicuna

COnfluence of events - I accidently pushed five minutes instead of five seconds, and simultaneously the ToGs came through the door in crisis and so in the dealing with that I failed to notice that the microwave was cooking and cooking and cooking...

11:15 am

Haz1558

Aha! I hoped the ToG would be involved.

11:16 am

hurshy

what was it cooking

11:16 am

Haz1558

And what WAS cooking, cooking,cooking?

11:16 am

Vicuna

lol Yep, it's all their fault! ;)

11:17 am

Vicuna

A slice of bread. It was reduced to a small black lump, almost entirely unrecognizeable. Kind of interesting, actually, since I've never seen before what a microwave can do... but the smell lingers.

11:17 am

Focal

Just barging into this conversation, microwave story reminds me of a story of my own, but what are ToGs please Vi?

11:18 am

Haz1558

Hello, Focal.

11:18 am

Haz1558

I like toast well done but I think I'd have to draw the line.

11:18 am

Focal

Hi Haz! and hi all other Babblers!

11:18 am

Vicuna

Hello, Focal. ToG stands for Twins of Glory - nickname for my children bestowed upon them by the Babble community.

11:19 am

Haz1558

The Twins of Glory have always kept us much amused. Vicuna uses them to clean her windows - they abseil from the roof.

11:19 am

hurshy

tee hee

11:19 am

Focal

Ha ha I love it!! I have 11-year old twins, and that's a great name for them! I used to put all their mischief down to twingenuity when they were toddlers. How old are your ToGs?

11:19 am

Vicuna

I wasn't even trying for toast - just to get the chill off!

11:19 am

hurshy

what is abseil????

11:19 am

Vicuna

Mine are nine!

11:19 am

Vicuna

(Rapelling, hursh)

11:19 am

Focal

Haz, you paint with words!!

11:20 am

Vicuna

rappelling, that is

11:20 am

Haz1558

Abseiling is when you're fixed to a point at a height and you're gradually let down on ropes. Not that I've had personal experience, you understand.

11:20 am

hurshy

i sort of thought that must be it but have never heard of that word for it. hmmm. wondering about the etymology of it now.

11:20 am

Haz1558

What a nice thing to say, Focal!

11:20 am

Focal

9 is a great age, and I think 11 is even better, as they haven't turned into sullen teens but they are old enough to have a decent convesation and bit of craic with

11:20 am

hurshy

is there just one rh word or should i be looking for more?

11:21 am

Haz1558

There are three altogether.

11:21 am

hurshy

aha

11:21 am

Vicuna

Actually, I've pretty much liked every age better than the one before with mine, Focal. I was NOT very happy for the first few years of their life, but they're really delightful now.

11:21 am

hurshy

thanks got em!

11:22 am

Vicuna

Oh, more rh's? Thanks!

11:22 am

Haz1558

Well done!

11:23 am

Haz1558

Sometimes children are at such a nice stage you kind of wish they could stay that way for longer. But they're constantly changing and you just have to keep up with it as best you can.

11:23 am

Focal

Yes the early years are tough. I have no family support and if I hadn't discovered Mum & Toddlers groups when they were 1 2 and 3 I would have imploded!!! But I agree, every year with them is better than the last. I have a 16 year old also, so I kind of dread what is ahead with them!!

11:23 am

hurshy

that is one of my objections to the idea of having some. always changing. i don't like change. i was so happy when *i* finally stopped growing and my shoe size became consistent, etc.

11:24 am

Vicuna

Oh man, newborn twins plus a five year old? Compared with that I have no right to complain!

11:25 am

hurshy

i have a friend who is currently pregnant with twins. she's an identical twin herself. but her twins are fraternal.

11:25 am

Haz1558

Did the five year old offer any assistance when the twins were tiny?

11:25 am

crosshair

lol@ twingenuity! love it;))

11:25 am

Focal

I can hardly remember it in a lot of ways! Must be nature's way of letting us have more and more kids!

11:26 am

Vicuna

Yeah, that's my problem - I have an excellent memory! Plus I keep a journal, so there's no denial possible. No more kids for me!

11:26 am

hurshy

and i actually believe things when other people tell me about them. hence, never tried illegal drugs OR childbirth.

11:26 am

crosshair

if a woman could remember what that exact second felt like when the baby was broaching,she would never have more..and there would be a lot of dead husbands;)

11:26 am

Focal

Well Haz, she did her best, but it was hard for her as she had been an only child AND and only grandchild for all of her 5 years, and within a couple of months she got a cousin, a brother and a sister! In some ways I think she still hasn't recovered from the shock of it all!

11:26 am

Haz1558

I remember my then three year old trying to help change her sister's diaper when my back was turned. Huge handfuls of nappy-rash cream slabbered on...

11:27 am

Vicuna

Mine are a boy and a girl and I cannot tell you how frequently I was asked whether they were identical.

11:27 am

Focal

Hey Crossy!

11:27 am

Haz1558

And are they?

11:27 am

hurshy

crossy from what i've heard it's the contractions rather than the broaching that are usually the most painful aspect.

11:27 am

crosshair

howdy focal

11:27 am

Vicuna

lol, Haz. Almost!

11:28 am

Haz1558

Different colour hair?

11:28 am

Focal

Ha ha Vi, me too!!! In the end I used to say "yes they are" and wait for the light to dawn on them!!

11:28 am

hurshy

it's all the bobbsey twins' fault, two pairs of fraternal twins wherein the older ones had the same coloring and the younger ones had the same coloring.

11:29 am

Focal

And mine couldn't be LESS identical - little girl has red hair and fine features and little boy was blonde (darker now) with big chubby cheeks!

11:29 am

Vicuna

Nope, mine have same hair, same eyes, nearly same height and build, play together all the time, get along really well... just a little matter of some chromosomes...

11:30 am

crosshair

mm breakfast today is scrambled eggs on fresh ultra flaky croissants,with shredded cheddar and apple wood smoked bacon slices on the side we have mini potato pancakes and nice fresh o.j to wash it all down

11:30 am

Vicuna

That makes it an even sillier question in your case, then, Focal!

11:30 am

Focal

Yum yum Crossy, some day I am going to land on your doorstep at brekky time!!

11:30 am

dang it why can't we spell te6ize the british way!!!

Focal

Leek? Daffodil? Whatcha mean Kap?

11:32 am

hurshy

this twin problem reminds me of a joke. a farmer had two ho5s and he couldn't tell them apart. he asked a neighbor for advice and the neighbor suggested cutting the mane off one. so he did that, but of course it grew back. then he did the tail, cause that would take longer, but eventually that grew back too. he wanted a more lasting solution, so he asked for any other advice at the next town meeting. "why don't you measure them? maybe one is taller." someone suggested. so he went home and measured them, and sure enough, the black one was taller than the white one.

11:33 am

Vicuna

Oh, thanks for the Welsh word. I never look for those.

11:33 am

Focal

ha ha ha, good one hurshy!!

11:33 am

Haz1558

Excellent, hurshy.

11:33 am

Vicuna

lol, hursh.

That's some serious color-blindness!

11:33 am

Focal

*bangs the table* what Welsh word?

11:33 am

Haz1558

cw4/10 - as in the Rhonda hymn tune

11:34 am

Vicuna

I taught a set of identical twins once, and thank goodness one had a broken arm when the school year began. That way I could tell them apart at first, and then by the time the cast came off I knew them well enough.

11:34 am

Focal

Thanks Haz, I'm still none the wiser. . . must brush up on my knowledge of things Welsh!

11:34 am

Haz1558

(Focal is very insistent, isn't she?)

11:34 am

crosshair

i would of given each ho5 a different hat to wear:)

11:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

sorry- I was heating up my soup.

11:35 am

Aloyisius

clothes will dry quickly if they don't blow off the clothesline.. really gusty winds

11:35 am

Haz1558

It means valley, Focal. cw plus the letters given when you don't want to specifiy a woman's marital status.

11:35 am

crosshair

lol focal,there are not many cw words(suprise!) just use morewords

11:35 am

Focal

Thanks Haz, got it now!

11:36 am

Focal

What is morewords please Crossy? I feel like a total amateur today!!

11:36 am

Haz1558

Now that you've got it, memorise it. It's a word beloved in babble circles.

11:36 am

Vicuna

Focal is persistent - she'd have to be to survive the twins plus one! =)

11:36 am

crosshair

just checked ,there are NO other cw4 words

11:36 am

Haz1558

I get to introduce morewords. I've got exclusive selling rights!

11:36 am

Haz1558

www.morewords.com

11:36 am

crosshair

go to it haz

11:36 am

Focal

Ha ha Vi, you don't know the half of it!!

11:37 am

Focal

Ok Haz, I'm ready for the hard sell!

11:37 am

Haz1558

It's a lifesaver, a nerve shredding preventative and let nobody tell you it's cheating.

11:37 am

crosshair

it is one of those pet words,that when we see it,we pounce on it

11:37 am

Focal

Going there now, will return soon. . . . . *poof*

11:37 am

Haz1558

Just go to the site, type in the letters you have with dashes for those you don't know, press the button and behold the lists of possible words.

11:37 am

crosshair

just open a tab for it focal...

11:38 am

crosshair

wonder if she uses tabbed browsing?

11:38 am

Haz1558

Focal probably thought that some of us were genius level. She's been here long enough that she can be let into the secrets....

11:38 am

Focal

Hey, are you talking about me behind my back Crossy!!!!

11:38 am

crosshair

god bless and forever keep google chrome

11:38 am

crosshair

not me!

11:38 am

hurshy

you can be a genius AND use morewords.

11:38 am

Focal

Thanks Haz, had a quick look at that, will need to sit down and figure it out properly.

11:38 am

Vicuna

Haz, dear, are you saying that we aren't really geniuses? (Or, as Babble would have it, genii?)

11:38 am

crosshair

indeed

11:39 am

Haz1558

It's quite the red-letter day for you, Focal. Morewords and the Twins of Glory all in one go.

11:39 am

periwinkle

hello all,back from the gym

11:39 am

crosshair

a genius will use all the tools around them to complete a task

11:39 am

Vicuna

Hello, peri.

11:39 am

Haz1558

(Backtracking) A genius may use morewords. Non-geniuses may use morewords. It's a personal choice.

11:39 am

Aloyisius

hi peri

11:39 am

Haz1558

Hello, peri.

11:40 am

Aloy, I have not received an e-mail from you. are you still intersested in the soup recipes?

11:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Use what you want to use and just have fun.

11:40 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo, Focal. Remember - don't cook a slice of bread in a microwave for five minutes.

11:41 am

Aloyisius

sent an email to you today, peri .. yes

11:41 am

Haz1558

It's apparently not a good idea.

11:41 am

Vicuna

*whines* I didn't do it on purpose!

11:41 am

periwinkle

ok. I have a few to send you

11:41 am

Aloyisius

tyvm, peri (-:

11:41 am

Haz1558

We know, Vicuna. You've learned from your mistakes and now so have we.

11:42 am

:-)

11:42 am

periwinkle

83 left and stuck

11:42 am

periwinkle

I do miss lickety but I do get by with any list I can find and of course,morewords.

11:43 am

Haz1558

I know - it takes longer but are we babblers or are we babblers?

11:44 am

Vicuna

We must be brave, stiff upper lip, keep calm and carry one, stiffen up the sinews, etc etc...

11:44 am

periwinkle

I miss seeing Spangle's sweet face.

11:44 am

periwinkle

Haz, I have started watching Downton Abbey with marigold and we like it.

11:45 am

Aloyisius

do5.14 has me spinning wheels

11:45 am

Haz1558

It seems to have become compulsive viewing for many, peri. But I have to report that there are rumours that Maggie Smith, the Dowager Countess with the best lines, has not signed up for series 3...

11:46 am

periwinkle

I did not know that

11:46 am

Aloyisius

oh no

11:46 am

Vicuna

do 5/14 - variant of do4/6 with another vowel

11:46 am

Haz1558

Spin wheels in Elizabethan English manner for that do5/14

11:46 am

Aloyisius

heard Shirley MacLaine will be in series three

11:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

Rumors.

11:46 am

Aloyisius

ok, lol.. ty Haz, looking

11:46 am

periwinkle

I heard that too

11:47 am

Aloyisius

oh.. see it now! tyvm, super clue

11:47 am

Haz1558

She may just be holding out for a better contract, but time will tell. I think she's in series 3 okay, it's series 4 that's being talked about now.

11:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ahhhhgh!

11:47 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Aloy.

11:47 am

hurshy

no maggie smith???!?! that would be bad.

11:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

why would she not sign on?

11:47 am

periwinkle

mmm.mulling over that clue,Haz. not getting it yet

11:47 am

Haz1558

Sorry, looking back at my original post I said series 3. I should have said 4.

11:48 am

Aloyisius

the Lord giveth

11:48 am

Haz1558

I don't know what the problem might be, Kaplan, maybe she's tired of sniffing and working in corsets all day.

11:48 am

Haz1558

Mind you, she does get the best lines.

11:48 am

Aloyisius

LOL.. but she is so good at it!

11:49 am

periwinkle

ty Haz and Aloy,got the do5

11:49 am

Aloyisius

yay peri

11:49 am

hurshy

at her age corsets ARE a lot to ask

11:49 am

Haz1558

I know - also rumoured is that Dan thingy, the one who plays Matthew, is similarly not playing ball yet.

11:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

Maybe she and Shirley don't get along.

11:49 am

Vicuna

Well, Good People of Babbletopia, I must be off. It was nice to see you all!

11:49 am

periwinkle

nice to see you too, Vi

11:49 am

Haz1558

Lovely to see you, Vicuna. Love to the ToG!

See you later, peri.

11:54 am

hurshy

these E's are hard. the top ones, i mean. don't know about the others yet.

11:55 am

Aloyisius

just found eo6, hurshy.. looks like some kind of religion that worships long periods of time

11:55 am

Haz1558

I think they've all been seen in grids before.

11:55 am

hurshy

ty alo

11:55 am

hurshy

well haz that will only help later when i have the list, i think

11:55 am

Aloyisius

yvw

11:56 am

Haz1558

There's also an et6 from the top e.

11:57 am

hurshy

this means you find that one of the weirdest ones, which makes it sad that i have got it but not three of the less weird ones.

11:58 am

Haz1558

Sometimes your eyes just don't take in the obvious words.

11:59 am

Haz1558

Maybe obvious isn't the right adjective.

11:59 am

hurshy

yeah. and sometimes you play so much babble you lose your grasp on real words altogether. the other day i entered debit thinking "i wonder if de-bit is a word" and was surprised it counted. only much later realized that was debit.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

I've sometimes had to persuade myself that so-ap and so-up are actually words.

12:01 pm

Aloyisius

lol Haz

12:01 pm

hurshy

we are ruining are normal linguistic selves!

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Do you think there's any treatment?

12:02 pm

hurshy

alright well my boss left over 45 mins ago without saying where she was going and when she'll be back and now that it's 1 PM i am deciding that my need for lunch overrides our general policy of someone being in the business office at all times.

12:03 pm

hurshy

i think we'd have to stop playing, haz. and that would not be a guaranteed success. so what's the point?

12:03 pm

Haz1558

There's the possibility that you might faint with hunger if you don't go out.

12:03 pm

hurshy

oh i'm not going OUT, just into the lunch room

12:03 pm

hurshy

anyway ttfn!!

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Enjoy lunch - especially if there's so-up on the menu!

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Toodle-oo, hurshy.

12:04 pm

Aloyisius

ty for the company and the clues.. have to go too, will bbl to finish

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Right, while hurshy goes to get lunch, I must go to sort out the evening meal. Bye for now and see you again, Aloy.

Any clues please for in 7/32 and in 8/45

12:22 pm

MollyL

Sounds like what you do to the back of a check when depositing, only different first letter, and plural.

12:22 pm

Jayde287

I'm sure I am late in asking this, but is Lickety on vacation? Is he okay?

12:23 pm

MollyL

Mr. President is doing the list now and she says she won't be putting it up for several weeks.

12:24 pm

Jayde287

Oh! Okay, thanks for letting me know :)

12:25 pm

Erda

Why not empower someone else to do it for her while she is not doing it????

12:26 pm

MollyL

I've asked the same question over and over Erda and people have volunteered to do so. So far, that has not met with any agreement.

12:26 pm

gran

No problems - found them

12:26 pm

Erda

She hangs on to it for some reason...

12:27 pm

HarryHood

halfway and nbt! off to parent teacher meetings...

12:27 pm

hootowl

Lickety wrote the program that does it. There is a list in Jac profile

12:32 pm

MollyL

I think we just have to get used to Lickety's list no longer being a constant.

12:33 pm

crosshair

my thoughts are that when mrp is ready,she will approach someone to help her fill in the days when she cannot

12:34 pm

MollyL

That would be nice Cross. No one should be tied to doing that list all the time.

12:36 pm

Jayde287

Is Lickety okay? Is he just tired of doing the list?

12:36 pm

Jayde287

Or are you saying MrP has always done it?

12:37 pm

crosshair

lickety has moved on to other things and mrp is stepping in and doing it

12:37 pm

crosshair

but life is busy for her just now

12:37 pm

Jayde287

Ahh, okay. Thanks.

12:40 pm

good morning everyone

12:40 pm

Volleymomdee usually puts a list in her profile which, if copied into Excel as Unicode text, gives a proper list in columns. MitchDick from Canada also finishes quickly and often lists. Morning all.

There's a list in Babanon - nicely separated into two-first-letter sections

12:44 pm

sheila48

Where does MeP put his list?

12:47 pm

scouser

MrP puts her list in the Lickety sign-on when she does it, but that is not often now.

12:48 pm

bichon

how is the list generated?

12:49 pm

bichon

there must be a computer program which generates the word list from the combination of letters

12:56 pm

wvteach

stats for the 9 and 10 please

12:56 pm

flosey

de9/66 and 10/84

12:57 pm

MollyL

I would imagine that is how it works Bich. A program that is linked to the combination of today's letters and the hoplessly ancient Enable word list.

12:57 pm

flosey

and another de9/66 follows

12:57 pm

flosey

starts with de8/50

I know. It's like trying to explain reality to an insane person.

there is no rhyme or reason as to how enable works and it is very frustrating

2:36 pm

'll never forgive Enable for not accepting spam or mosh

2:37 pm

On Angelsong's page it should say "Accepted Words: Whatever Enable feels like accepting...Unacceptable Words: Whatever Enable doesn't feel like accepting."

Hello mates.

Scrabbler

I am at Mary's house. Little one is napping. Nanny went to get the other 2 kids at school.

3:10 pm

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, How are the children?

3:10 pm

Aloyisius

didn't know you went during the week..

3:12 pm

Scrabbler

Doing well for the most part--they don't think about Mary as often as the adults do. We know how much the kids are missing and what Mary is missing. I come here every Tuesday at noon and leave after dinner when their father gets home at 6:30.

3:12 pm

Aloyisius

so nice that the children see you regularly.. do they call you "Auntie"?

3:13 pm

Scrabbler

No, it evolved from Doctor Lynda (because I am their pediatrician too) to "Doc."

3:13 pm

Scrabbler

Recently the nanny referred to me as Doc and the little one said, "You can't call her that, only we can."

3:14 pm

Aloyisius

aww, that is so sweet

3:16 pm

LisaG

I have 86 words so far, and they are all from letters on the first row...I haven't even gone further into the grid lol

Scrabbler

Is that your usual system, Lisa?

3:17 pm

Aloyisius

brb.. being summoned

3:18 pm

LisaG

yes, I start with the first open box, and get as many as I can from that one, then move onto the next one and so on...but I haven't even gotten off the first row yet!

3:18 pm

Scrabbler

Most of the words come from that top row.

3:18 pm

LisaG

although I will say, i did gray out the n on the second row with the 2 words :)

3:19 pm

Go go.

”We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness'." - from the movie shall we dance

I did Peach, thanks. : ) I'll send you an email.

6:53 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks so much.

6:54 pm

MollyL

Okay Cross, just checking. I must make a smaller one because I only use one tube of crescent dough. It's a great breakfast recipe. And yes, lots of cheese.

7:02 pm

crosshair

cheese is a must:) my kitchen comes to a grinding halt when i run out of cheese

7:03 pm

crosshair

you can find many set ups for bacon and egg pies online,i just wanted to try it with crescent roll dough:)

7:04 pm

crosshair

just do not scrimp on da bacon;)

7:04 pm

MollyL

It's good with the crescent dough. You can make a breakfast pizza that way too. Cheese is the sixth food group. : )

7:05 pm

crosshair

nice thin slices of peameal bacon will also be a good substitute

7:10 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Sorry.

7:19 pm

MollyL

Cos, I've decided that I can dig the singing in Smash when it pertains to the show they are doing. But the spontaneous outbreak of song on the street or in the bedroom is kind of hokey.

7:19 pm

suefrad625

lol

7:19 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks much, sue.

7:19 pm

cosdem

lol agreed molly

7:21 pm

MollyL

One comment Television Without Pity made that was funny was "how many times can Kat McPhee's character end up in a Karaoke bar?" : )

7:21 pm

cosdem

wow. sigourney weaver is starring in a new tv series on USA

7:22 pm

cosdem

she plays the divorced former first lady who loses the presidential nomination and becomes secretary of state.

7:22 pm

MollyL

I'm starting to wonder if times are getting tough in Hollywood. Mary Sterenbergen is doing the voice over for a Hormel Pepperoni commercial.

7:23 pm

cosdem

EW did an article about a lot oscar winners now doing regular roles on TV

7:23 pm

cosdem

it said studios generally pass them over for younger actors.

7:23 pm

MollyL

Didn't we already have that with Geena Davis in "Commander In Chief"?

7:24 pm

cosdem

commander in chief was good. the only difference was geena davis was the President and it was competing against west wing

7:25 pm

MollyL

Ooo, there could have been great possibilities with Sigourney Weaver playing the former lover of Taylor on Terra Nova.

7:26 pm

cosdem

crap. gotta go.. time to go to the caucuses.. bbl

7:28 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Does anyone have a list? Thanks

7:29 pm

dizgrannie

there is a list in Babanon

7:29 pm

Jacula

Hi all. I gather that 'Terra Nova' is not going to be continued? It had possiblilities, I thought, but wasn't quite making it. Molly - now THAT would have made a difference!

7:29 pm

cybernan

dee has one

7:29 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks much, diz.

7:29 pm

Jacula

Hi gap - list in my profile and on BabAnon.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Also other players have lists. Lots of lists to be found.

7:30 pm

cybernan

29 to go -- taking a break

7:31 pm

Jacula

'Bye cyber/ Coming back with fresh eyes is a good plan.

7:32 pm

MollyL

I think we needed a little bit more mystery in Terra Nova. People keep coming back to a show to find out what happens next.

7:34 pm

gemini_J13

thanks for list Jacula!

7:34 pm

Jacula

Molly - Yes. It was a little 'tell rather than show'. However, with the right writers, it could have gone somewhere.

7:35 pm

Jacula

gemini - y/w.

7:36 pm

Jacula

Molly - also, this habit the TV companies seem to have got into - telling us all the key bits for the next episode at the end of the episode we've just watched, doesn't help!

7:36 pm

crosshair

lol watching old episodes of little house,between that and touched by an angel,i am surprised they did not have to treat micheal landon for dehydration.all his character leaked like a faucet..3 hankie jobs:)

7:37 pm

Jacula

Sorry Crossy. Haven't watched either.

7:38 pm

Jacula

If you're an astute watcher or writer, those 'next episode' snippets ruin the suspense.

7:38 pm

crosshair

guess they did not make it "over the pond"

7:38 pm

MollyL

No Jac, the previews don't help. And yes again, different writers could have pushed Terra Nova to a second season. Because I am a writer myself, I am very picky about the writing on TV shows.

7:39 pm

Jacula

Crossy - they did - on SKY, it's just me that hasn't watched them. Sorry! Not enough hours in the day!

7:39 pm

Jacula

Molly - ditto (re being a writer).

7:41 pm

MollyL

Sometimes, it seems like any lame brain can write for TV. It's a rare show that impresses me, writing wise. And then, they are usually cancelled. Because it seems the majority of TV watches will just swallow fluff on a regular basis.

7:41 pm

crosshair

it is now time for crossy,s motavational moment..be warned,the language is a bit..rough.....

7:47 pm

Jacula

Molly - do you understand and like Irish stuff? If so, go to youtube and watch Mrs. Brown's Boys.

7:49 pm

Jacula

Crossy - I don't really find that motivational - I just think of rappers and abhor all the bad language and turn off.

7:50 pm

Jacula

Crossy - btw, I thought your airline steward joke the other day was funny. Sorry you got lambasted for posting it! Far too much 'PC' in the world these days. More humour is needed!

7:51 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks diz and Jacula. Now my printer is refusing to work properly......won't transfer from computer to printer.

7:51 pm

Jac, I am fluent in "Irish stuff". : ) I will check out that video.

7:55 pm

Jacula

Gap - bon appetit!

7:55 pm

Jacula

Crossy - me neither!

8:03 pm

I think one thing we all have to consider is the forum or place in which we present things. Many people find the eff word very offensive (I don't) so I try to respect that.

2Bit, as always, you are my favorite genius. : P

8:05 pm

i am sorry molly,i had a feeling i should not of posted that motivational rant

8:06 pm

MollyL

Like I said, I have no problem with stuff like that. But I know we have people here who do. Ergo, I try to be myself, with editing. : )

8:06 pm

miss2bit is well. momma2bit still fighting a chest cold from hell

8:06 pm

i shall try to edit as needed

Oh yes, 2Bit. That chest crap is going around. It's been in my house for two weeks.

8:10 pm

MollyL

A totally freakish word

8:11 pm

rururocks

oh my god.

8:11 pm

crosshair

a word that should not be in the grid..believe it is a seed pod,but all it really is,is a word that will not be guessed at

8:11 pm

rururocks

thanks.. no wonder I couldn't figure it out

8:12 pm

rururocks

i'm gonna need help tonight

8:13 pm

Jacula

Crossy - please don't edit for me! I just hate all the swearing that goes with rap. Rap is a great form of poetry, just doesn't need all the swearing.

8:13 pm

MollyL

Me, I could read off color jokes here all day. It's the personal digs at other posters that annoys me most.

8:14 pm

crosshair

sadly,you seem to cannot have one without the other

8:14 pm

Jacula

However, a well-placed curse is fine. I just don't like the way a lot of people use curses almost as puncutation these days.

8:15 pm

crosshair

i try to get my son not to use curses as punctuation..all the kids at school seem to be doing it

8:17 pm

Jacula

I well remember the time when I accidentally taught my two toddlers the term, 'OH B*LLOCKS!' I was carrying a tray of plants down from upstairs, where they had spent the winter on a windowsill, when I caught my arm on the bannister rail and rocketted the plants and all the soil in the pots down onto the hall floor.

8:18 pm

Jacula

It took me ages to get the pair of them NOT to use that term for fun at every opportunity afterwards.:-(

8:20 pm

crosshair

lol @ ballocks,that would sound so quaint here

8:21 pm

Jacula

That WAS back in the 80s, crossy.

8:21 pm

crosshair

like jumping jehosaphat or heavens to betsy

8:22 pm

Christine

Hello, all. Will someone give me a clue for the 10, please

8:22 pm

Jacula

I remember when 'bloody' was a bad word to say, back in the 60s.

8:22 pm

rururocks

a person who removes royalty

8:22 pm

Christine

thank you - I'll look for it.

8:23 pm

Jacula

Hello Christine. de10/84 - people who kick the king off his seat.

8:24 pm

Christine

Thank you - i haad it on my list, but hadn't entered it.

8:26 pm

Jacula

crossy - another one re your jumping and heavens post is 'Christ on a bike!' I've no idea what sense it's supposed to make, but it is a blasphemous expression of impatience.

8:26 pm

Angelsong

8:29 pm

8:31 pm

8:31 pm

rururocks

There is a resort in Jamaica called he8? I love it.

8:40 pm

mixi6

8:40 pm

Jacula

Well, you have to pick up the daft plurals and the 4-letter words you missed first time around. That's Babble!

8:41 pm

rururocks

to sign a check mix

8:42 pm

MollyL

I would much rather believe in pleasure than believe in the stale, lifeless Puritan-like deprivation ways.

8:42 pm

mixi6

I thought that was en? lol.

8:42 pm

mixi6

Ty fireworks.

8:43 pm

MollyL

It is an EN mixi. This is Babble. You must suspend your disbelief.

8:43 pm

Jacula

in7 & verb form 8 - the USA way of sayinfg en7 & 8, re signing a cheque/check.

Not all the time Christine. We have been wondering why the British version of making meat softer is not accepted all day.

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

welki

hi, jm

8:44 pm

Shirlockc

never heard of in7, always use en7 for cheques but then i'm canadian :)

8:45 pm

MollyL

Never heard of in7 either Shirl.

8:45 pm

Jacula

We do te9 and verb form 10 meat here, Enable just doesn't know it yet.

8:46 pm

MollyL

Enable is like old Aunt Gertrude when it comes to a LOT of words.

8:46 pm

welki

in7 is when you sign over a title; en7 is your identifying signature

8:47 pm

Christine

Wierd old Babble

8:47 pm

If you were brought up on the Oxford version of dictionary rather than the Collins, all this would be easier. LOL

jmc - Jack isn't the greatest drink in the world. Try Jamesons whiskey. You'll never look back and, if you try too much to soon, you might never get up again.

8:56 pm

But you'll lie there happy! LOL

nope - be one thing if i was surfing the net for cabana boys, but not in the grid at all. the other one, the border collie, is more polite - and the cat, well, she's just a grand ol' dame

9:03 pm

MollyL

My children learned many things when they were small. To be polite, to eat a balanced diet and to believe in their dreams. When they came of age, they learned that pilfering Mom's liquor was just as horrid as not doing the aforementioned three things.

9:04 pm

Jacula

I'm going to go to the sound of the surf (Beloved snoring) and the sound of the surf pulling pebbles on the beach back and forth (Beloved grinding his teeth). See you all next grid. Happy Babbling!

9:04 pm

9:29 pm

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

i didn't want to get into a political debate but I am a woman so I had to say something

9:30 pm

cosdem

im marching in denver's "March for women rights" march in the end of april

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

I have to ask have all the things written about Republican (teaparty ) saying about single parents in context or not?

9:33 pm

cosdem

there are many republicans on record comparing single parents to child beaters.

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

I was just wondering if it was in context or taking out of sentences

9:34 pm

torgone

Santorum blames single mothers for most crime ..

9:34 pm

rururocks

that's why he wants to scan their privates

9:35 pm

herinfernallady

So do we round up all single families and shove them into Ghettos?

9:36 pm

torgone

They don't really have any solutions, just condemnations ..

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

HI WHt

9:42 pm

MollyL

I am sad about the political state of our nation. We have a President who has not made good on one of the campaign promises he made to get elected...and a lame Republican party that can't offer up a candidate that can do any better.

9:42 pm

torgone

Long time + 3 letter suffix

9:43 pm

herinfernallady

Well Obama has no options when every single thing he wants done is giving the stuff you by the republicans since they hold a majority of power.

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

Maybe i need more coffee before I replace that with my feet

9:45 pm

MollyL

Yes Cos, they do. Obama is not being held captive by the Republicans. And that is all I'm going to say.

Well done Wht!
