Stecken Sie Ihren Finger auf Ihren Arsch

I'm not certain...but I don't think that sounds very um nice...

1:29 am

that's uncalled for cyborg

1:30 am

just seems to me..that clues aught to be given when asked for..and others should be given the chnace to solve the game at their own pace

1:32 am

everyone agrees rolin, but cyborg isn't getting it

1:39 am

not getting the na clue, can u rephrase it for me please cyborg?

1:40 am

nevermind, figured it out

1:46 am

hey guys i'm new here and was wondering how we're able to determine how many words everyone else has found.

1:46 am

ezy, you can check the archives the next day to see scores

1:46 am

i dont think you can ezy - you would have to ask

1:47 am

if you want to know during the puzzle, just ask as ursh mentioned.

1:47 am

okidoke, thanks Ursh,. For those that are interested i've only found 22 words :)

1:47 am

1:50 am

indeed nonnie

1:51 am

yes nonnie, ezy is probably past the 2 weeks or else he wouldn't be wondering about how many words are left

1:51 am

yours sounds odd rolin!

1:52 am

2:09 am

sorry dont have them oldhouse

2:10 am

2:10 am

the as's are close to bin laudin's (sp?) first name

it's what you call a position in yoga, oldhouse. every other letter is the same vowel

thank you MVA - one is helping me to monkey type now

Nice job, oldhousejunky!

2:16 am

ty joey. what about an na6/18?

na 6/18 - add vowel to na 5/10 after curvy letter

2:16 am

na - kind of sounds like something about a nose. take the na 5 that would be right before it and add a vowel in the middle

2:17 am

ty joey and oldhouse. finally... a wa6?

2:18 am

sorry, vedaman, not yet.......... soon

2:18 am

had a late start tonight, so it's 3:20 here and my brain is fried.

2:31 am

Hello, jean

2:35 am

bye lizmac, hi jean

2:40 am

going now, breakfast calls! bbl

2:40 am

bye, MVA

2:41 am

bye MVA:)

2:42 am

good morning lovely babble people, once again I need some support

2:42 am

Good day, kth

2:42 am

good morning kthdsn:)

2:44 am

I'm so lost, I don't know what to do

2:44 am

How come your lost today kthdsn?

2:45 am

you know the day my husband went missing

2:45 am

yes remember that?

2:45 am

did any of you really believe the crap he told me about being too tired to walk home

2:46 am

well it sounded plausable with his boss being taken ill, dont tell me hes done it again to you?

2:46 am

he was with a woman, he did it again last weekend, and I think he's there with her right now too

2:47 am

oh kthdsn thats not good to hear, have you got concrete proof

2:47 am

he told me

2:47 am

but I forgave him and acknowledged that we had some big problems of our own to work through

2:48 am

only last night he looked me right in the eye and told me he doesn't love me and he doesn't want to keep trying

2:49 am

he didn't come home and he won't answer the phone he bought

2:49 am

Then you have to decide what action you want to take, and how you want to deal with this information, maybe you could try and get some mediation help could be you both need to be able to discuss this in a neutral space

2:50 am

I can't wait around for him to decide between the two of us, I'm not being second best, I've decided to go to Canada and be with my mum and my sister

2:50 am

Oh kthdsn your feelings must feel like there in a tumble dryer

2:50 am

but there is a lot to work out before I can leave, and I was going to discuss it with him last night when he got in from work, only he didn't come back

2:52 am

I feel completely numb, I've gone into some strange auto pilot mode that doesn't feel like me at all

2:52 am

good morning all hello Jean how are you today

2:52 am

Do you think hes unable to talk to you at the moment? I am not in your shoes so is difficult to say what anybody would do, all I can say is I have been in a similar position and sometimes you need to step back from the situation and not do anything too hasty to begin with, I can understand that numb feeling and its not a good place to be

2:53 am

good morning Iain hows my big brother today then xx have you wrapped my chrissy present yet lol

2:54 am

I await the postman with relish ( and a hamburger lol) Iain

2:54 am

usual pressie in th epost for you Do not drink it all at once you know what the Dr said LOL

2:54 am

of course Iain yours is in the post lol

2:54 am

we've talked more over the last few days than we ever have in our lives, but now it's more important than ever, I have 3 little girls to protect and he's making it very difficult by not being where he says he'll be

2:55 am

Yes it is important to protect your girls kthdsn but remember your feelings are important too

2:57 am

This may sound insensitive, kate, but you need to protect yourself if you are unsure you can trust your husband. In particular, if the money is in joint accounts, there is nothing to prevent him from taking it all. How are you going to get to Canada if you go? My point is to take steps to insure you are not left destitute.

2:57 am

Well I wish you the best of luck with it all kthdsn, unfortunately I have to go as have a busy day today wish I could stay longer may be back later if time permits good point babble

2:58 am

must rush bye all and bye Iain and give my love to Anne xx

2:58 am

babble he wouldn't do that to me, he's my best friend and he still cares very much about me, I guess I'm just difficult to face right now

2:58 am

Bye, jean

2:58 am

bye jean thanks for listening to me

2:59 am

Bye Jean Anne send hers love.

2:59 am

Morning all Is this a self describing grid?

2:59 am

Thats no problem kthdsn its good to talk and get other perspectives sometimes we dont always look at it objectively as its too close a call take care chat soon xx

3:00 am

kthdsn Jean has had experience so she can speak from experience. We wish you well which ever route you choose

3:00 am

Well, perhaps. Just the same please heed my warning.

3:00 am

thanks iain

3:00 am

Good morning, sprite.

3:01 am

i know babble, I have taken notice

3:01 am

good morning and sprite and bye happy babbling:)

3:01 am

hi BabbleRabble, hi and bye jean :)

3:01 am

I can't understand how I didn't see any of it until it was too late, how could I not notice that he had fallen out of love

3:03 am

So sorry to hear about your situation, kthdsn. I hope you will have all the strength and support you need.

3:03 am

thanks sprite

3:07 am

I've lost 7 lbs in as many days, I can't force myself to eat anything, I can't see how I can go on without him

3:09 am

You can and you will, kthdsn. Only right now it will not feel that way. But you will pull through.

3:11 am

I hope you're right

3:14 am

hi all :) and I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through kate :(

3:14 am

Hey Ata *hug*

3:14 am

ty ata

3:18 am

Kate, there are no easy answers here. Starving yourself certainly will only make things more difficult. Your children likely already sense a problem. They need your reassurance. Have you called your mother? You need a support system to help you trhough this. His actions confirm his statements. You must procede accordingly.

3:18 am

Darn - found the 9. I knew they were after me.

3:19 am

Morning all.........

3:19 am

Must go.good luck kthdsn

3:19 am

I second BabbleRabble's words, kate. You need support, so you can grieve and mourn, and still be able to stand up for yourself and your kids.

3:20 am

yes babble I've talked to my mum, she doesn't have the money to help me out but if I can get a flight I can stay with her for a while

3:20 am

bye lain

3:21 am

Kthdsn, I am so sorry for what you're going thro'......however, please take heed to what Babble said earlier about your bank account......ok you say he wouldn't do that to you and that he is your best friend......Kthdsn, this is not the behaviour ofa best friend....or anyone who REALLY cares!

3:22 am

Hi everyone............Hiya Flask

3:22 am

hi hodag

3:22 am

he can't get to the money, and even if he could there is none to take

3:22 am

Hey Hodag......am sending a BIG hug to you.....!!

3:24 am

kthdsn...on monday you need to open a new bank ac in your name...and start to sift money into it..been there done that

3:25 am

I need his help and support to keep life running while I make my plans, he stays home with the kids and I work, if he doesn't come home I can't work and without my income I can't pay the mortgage nevermind work out how to afford to leave

3:26 am

thanks flask,your a sweetie!!!............hi sprite

3:26 am

Hi Rolin! Yes I think you're right......I been there too......a long time ago....and its not funny at all!

3:26 am

our account is in my name already, and like I said there's nothing to take

3:26 am

me too rolin, kth see a lawyer and get some counselling before you go to your mum

3:26 am

of course you do...and let him come home..let him be 'your firned'...but look after yourself while hes doing this 'for you'

3:27 am

his boss just called me to see if he could work today but since he's not here, he's gonna call around and try to find him for me

3:27 am

I think he's with her, but I don't have her number and I don't want to speak to her

3:29 am

I met up with her yesterday, I wanted to hear that it was just a mistake and she was sorry and she hoped we could make it work, but she basically told me I'm a shit mother, a shit wife, and I'm "the other woman" in her relationship with him

3:29 am

eels

3:29 am

kth. it looks like your Babble friends are your support team..............he will tumble and fall,they always do! LOL

3:30 am

thanks hodag, it's nice to talk to people who can see things from an outside perspective, I don't know what I'd do without you all

3:31 am

we're here for you, but I really hope you will rally some nearby support as well. Some people who can hold you when you cry and can kick your ass when you feel like giving up.

3:32 am

I don't really have anyone close, i have a lot of friends online who are all being great, I don't feel alone

3:34 am

Do one thing for yourself right now, kate. Go eat something.

3:34 am

I can't babble I feel sick, I'm drinking water that's all I can manage just now

3:35 am

I will try and eat in a while but I can't at the moment

3:35 am

not good enough. You need food. do it!

3:36 am

have soup it's comforting but will help with some nutrition too

3:36 am

It might help if you try and treat yourself like you are one of your own kids. You would never accept it if one of them would refuse to eat for days. Be that firm and loving parent for yourself and make yourself eat something.

3:36 am

I never eat this early in the day, I've got some fruit in the fridge, I'll have some in a bit

3:36 am

Good! *hug*

3:38 am

I feel like everything is paused til he gets home, I need to talk to him about how we're going to manage things, where we go from here, I feel sick waiting

3:40 am

I wish there was something I could do without needing him but all the plans I want to make need his input

3:41 am

Which means how you are feeling is totally dependent on what he does or don't. It may sound stupid, but you will feel a little better if you take some action now. Like eating. Doing something for yourself on your own accord - it helps.

hey

3:42 am

hi lady

Kth he rocked in at 630am so not happy jan

3:42 am

hi herin did he get in safely

3:42 am

kth, can you mum or sister come to you for a while

Yes at 7am

3:42 am

no they can't afford a flight and the time off work

right ill be bck shortly they need food and im the runner tonight

3:43 am

thats a real pity, just noticed your very young age, some support is needed

3:44 am

I have decided to pack up and go to them, but we need to work out the finances and the logistics first, which is why I need to talk to him

3:45 am

hi all, kate, caught up a little on your situation in the log, i'm so sorry!

3:46 am

hi fran

3:46 am

When the time comes to talk to him,get yourself all decked out so he can see what he'll be missing!

3:46 am

hi andree

3:46 am

I felt such relief last night, a plan came together when I was talking to my mum, I felt that I was taking back control of what happens to me, but now I'm right back waiting

3:47 am

wa 6/30 please

3:48 am

andree, pale charged particle

3:48 am

he knows your waiting and he is playing on it,show him you have a life too!

3:48 am

good clue fran thx

3:49 am

yw andree

3:49 am

that's exactly what I meant, kate. Taking back some control, however tiny, will help. Do something that will stop your passive waiting and turn it into some more active waiting, *hug*

3:49 am

Fran said a wo-ord, Fran said a wo-ord!

3:49 am

oops!

3:50 am

my excuse is i took a break and forgot the words already! :-)

3:50 am

grinnnn Fran :)

3:52 am

now I see a single magpie, one for sorrow

3:53 am

*sends over another magpie to lift the gloom*

3:56 am

Magpie,Magpie,who am I,the one who laughs at you as you fly by....

3:58 am

you've got a whole flock of magpies flying with you, kate. Hang in there and take some control, you will manage.

3:58 am

kate, something similar happened to me with an ex-boyfriend. he started staying out all night with the "boys". it turned out he had met someone else.

3:58 am

he left me, married that other woman, cheated on her the whole time they were married

3:59 am

he's now divorced from her too...some men just can't stay "in love"

3:59 am

it's not you

3:59 am

he doesn't want her though, she was just there when he was down, I'm not even angry about that part, just devastated that he doesn't love me

4:00 am

it took me many years to accept that i was better off without him.

4:00 am

i think i lost 15 pounds the first week after he left

4:01 am

kth you should be angry, what he has done is very wrong and as many off us know they will always do it again sometime

4:01 am

I've been trying to loose a stone or so for the last 2 years, suddenly half of it has gone and I don't even care

4:02 am

the other woman was just a convenient way for him to leave me...he said that he loved me like a sister (how warped was that?)

4:03 am

that is telling more about him than about you, Fran :)

4:04 am

these men move from woman to woman fran but the want you to continue liking them, how warped is that

4:04 am

exactly sprite, i know that now. at the time i was devastated.

4:04 am

Flask where are you----I am looking for you!

4:04 am

we were going to grow old together, I can't imagine my life without him in it, I don't know what went wrong

4:04 am

Yeah, I know, been there too.

4:06 am

cold

4:06 am

Kate, give yourself some time. Of course you feel terrible right now and you cannot see a future. You're perfectly entitled to that kind of feeling. Just try to believe you will get through it, even if you haven't the foggiest how or when. Take it one breath at a time and you will get there.

4:07 am

oops,thinking out loud again

4:07 am

Good morning everyone. Just had a quick read back. kthdsn - ((hugss)) for you. I've been there, too. I have a lovely partner now. I know it doesn't feel like it now but you WILL be okay. Just give it time.x

4:07 am

hi jac!

4:08 am

Hi Fran.

4:08 am

either that hodag or you are seeing some weird phantom letters in the grid.

4:08 am

quite a few hawaiian words today.

4:09 am

he IS my lovely partner jac, he's my best friend, he's a part of me, we are perfect together when we are both happy, I don't know how he got so miserable

4:09 am

hey Jac

4:10 am

Hi sprite.

4:10 am

hi jac

4:10 am

I thought if I just tried to show him how happy I am he would wake up and realise how much he cares, he just seems like a shell of himself, like his soul has gone missing

4:10 am

Hi Andree.

4:11 am

kth - that's exactly how my ex seemed to me at the end.

4:11 am

kate, if that's what you think has happened, do you think he would go to counseling or seek treatment for depression?

4:11 am

We're here for you, kth. You're not alone.

4:12 am

he won't go, he thinks only crazy people need mental help

4:12 am

I,ve been there two(twice)but ,now I am with a special guy we've been together 10yrs. and still very happy...........the sun always shins tomarrow!! If he was that great he would still be there.

4:15 am

time for me to be off. (((kate))) things will get better. night everyone!

4:15 am

4:46 am

stupid monkey!!

4:49 am

ty BR. How come it takes some names and not others?

4:49 am

i think you get an al** key for your electric drill and other thingies

4:50 am

the names it takes seem to have meanings other than as given names

4:50 am

Ursh - that with 2 l's (the key). The al4 in this case is an old word for a wolfhound.

4:51 am

oh ok jacula ty

4:51 am

but then what about anna and peter and names like that in other grids. does peter have keys aswell and is anna a female wolf? it's always intrigued me

4:52 am

i know for sure that things peter out (run out) dont know about anna tho

4:53 am

oh yes! and peter's salty too sometimes isn't he?

4:54 am

anna: a former cupronickel coin of Pakistan, the 16th part of a rupee: last issued in 1960.

4:54 am

Oh there you go - so now i know who anna and peter are ty babblerabble

4:54 am

4:57 am

4:58 am

4:58 am

'Bye, ursh.

himself turned up at 7am ish

4:59 am

when you were finally sleeping? was all ok?

I slept at 530 and huged the teddy and he turned up at 7ish kinda didn't sleep

5:02 am

I htought about you so much. I couldn't sleep myself. and then MY hubby turned up late aswell! 1.30am instead of the usual 11.00!! not as late as yours but a bit coincidental...

5:03 am

at least yours came home

5:03 am

yes indeed kth! I thought about you and your worried eve aswell...

Oh kath thats not good

5:05 am

he's still not answering his phone

5:05 am

I don't know why he bothered getting one

5:05 am

what, you mean he's not come home again?

5:06 am

I think he's with her

5:06 am

OH NO!!! kth! that's so NOT GOOD! I wish I could do soomething for you!

Oh i wish i could hunt him down and do bad bad things to him

5:07 am

if you missed the info it's in the log just before 3am, I don't want to say it all again

5:08 am

ok kth!

oh ok ill go to that.

Hey im back, oh kate that is aweful. I would love to say tell him to f off and change the locks and take all of his money and make him move out as he has kids wether they are or aren't his as thats just rude and you deserve better

5:17 am

oh kate! i've just read the log! how terrible for you. I can so understand what you're going through. Many years ago, I..... that's a whole other story. Men can be SO STUPID!. He really doesn;t know what he's doing or what he's done. And by the time he realises it'll be way too late.

5:18 am

What you're doing now is the best you can do. Protect your girls and yourself. Do what you can when you can and when you can't, then don't. Actions to take are best in stops and starts. like day and night. bits at a time and bits of rest inbetween.

5:19 am

I just wish he wasn't ignoring me right now

5:19 am

as 5+6 please

5:20 am

Yeah, that sucks too. And it makes it much more difficult for you. But if you can find the strength to just look after your kids no matter what he does or doesn't do, then you'll get through and you'll be stronger in the end.

male logic is to retrieve to the cave and ignore everyone

5:21 am

as 5 == study of the body ***tomy and plural

5:22 am

morning all

5:22 am

Hello, Wolvie

5:22 am

kth - went thru the log to catch up - sorry for your troubles. I hope he comes home soon.

5:22 am

morning, wolvie

5:22 am

Remember the picture making we were talking about some days ago? Right now you probably can't see any picture at all.... and that's ok. But there IS one... and if you can trust that then you will also get support from where the pictures are made...

5:23 am

hiya wolvie. I'm back after lunch... ;)

5:23 am

as promised... :)

5:23 am

well, that's good to know Con. ;-)

5:24 am

promised to whom - somebody else come in here and sign on as wolvie - or is this from lunch a few days ago?? ;-0

5:24 am

he just called me

kath wish i was there in your country as i would hunt him down and bitch slap her from here to nex week then drag him back to you so you can talk

5:24 am

that's something at least kth

could

5:25 am

he went to her house last night but he didn't sleep with her, I understand that he needs a friend, but it still hurts

opps good

5:25 am

but I've got to go again. I'm seeing a friend of mine in a revalidation centre for the first time in months. She had a brain haemorrage and was found by the side of the road. After a time in hospital she has now moved to a realidation centre and is ready for some visitors.... and I can go today.

5:26 am

anyway, he'll be home soon, I think he's trying to work up the courage to come through the door

5:26 am

this is from lunch a few days ago wolvie. I came back the same day, but you had already gone.

5:26 am

whoa - what an ordeal Con - positive thoughts to her

5:26 am

I hope your friend is ok conx

5:27 am

thanks wolvie and kth. it seems as if everybody has their own share of heftiness to deal with....

Oh con i hope she has a speedy recovery

brb

5:27 am

brb - must get some java

5:28 am

it's kind of comforting to know I'm not the only one hurting, everywhere I look I see smiling people, it feels so wrong

5:28 am

So i'll go and get ready. Kath - trust in the bigger picture and all strength to you and for you. You and your kids take priority in your life!

5:29 am

Take care Con - tell her she has people she doesn't even know pulling for her. :-)

5:29 am

it's surface stuff kth. If you scratch beneath the surface I bet most people have their own plate full of stuff

5:30 am

ok! thanks wolvie. i'll do that. big hug for you kth. see you all later!

5:30 am

thanks conx, you go see your friend

Later con

Kth dont get mad at him pack his sh.. and leave it on the door step and kick him out

sorry how many words again

5:33 am

5:34 am

any clue for se5/12 please

5:35 am

se**** killer minus the "i"

found it thanks

5:35 am

thanks for that clue, une

5:35 am

yw :-)

5:39 am

my auntie just called me, I'm going to hurt so many people by leaving

hugs the kath

5:39 am

you need a new start kth

5:41 am

but sometimes you have to do what *you* have to do, kate. for your sanity and health and for that of your children

5:41 am

I trying so hard to eat these damn grapes but I can't do it

5:43 am

maybe if I don't eat anything I'll waste away into nothingness and it won't hurt any more

5:43 am

dont eat them then. find some milk, or a milkshake, or something liquid and vaguely nutritoinally. much easier to drink than eat

5:43 am

that won't work for your kids kt

but you are hurting the girls more by not leaving. It will hurt now but it will be better in the long wrong.

5:43 am

and unfortunately, it doesn't work that way .... :(

5:44 am

you're right herin

no kid deserved to be around a complete arse and no body deserves to be treated worse than poo on a shoe

5:47 am

as-5 +6 please

5:47 am

he's not treating us like crap, he's still putting us first, he's just struggling with his emotions so he's not doing a very good job of being useful

5:48 am

I know I sound like I'm' blindly sticking up for him, but he is still on my side

how is sleeping with another woman putting you first?

5:49 am

Good morning Babblers. I am here to do some words and have fun before work.

5:49 am

he didn't set out to sleep with her, they were both drunk and he wanted a shoulder to cry on, he was, in his own stupid way, trying to protect me from the pain he was feeling

5:49 am

hi scrabbler!

5:50 am

Good morning all.

5:50 am

back again, help with pa 8/45 please

5:50 am

hi merk!

hi merk

5:50 am

hi andree - don't have that yet - will look

If that's what you need to believe for your sake, then go ahead and believe it, but I believe you are worth more than that.

5:50 am

any clues for the as 5-10 +6-18 please

5:50 am

Well you answered my unwritten questions as to where the 8 was today.

5:51 am

Sorry sha, not there yet. I'm still stuck on my ai

Oh don't make excuses for him. He doesn't care about your feelings if he did he would have gone to a male friends house

5:51 am

I know I'm worth more than that but I can see that he is trying his very best

5:51 am

You are in denial.

5:51 am

he doesn't have male friends, he gets on with women better than men

5:51 am

shopping ai-merk

5:51 am

Sure sure

5:52 am

I'm his opposite, I have mainly male friends

5:52 am

Found it at the movies.

5:52 am

thanks for that clue sha - am still looking for yours

i'm sorry kate. I know you are hurting and you don't need my anger too. it's just that i've been there, done that, got the divorce papers (twice).

5:52 am

andree - I found a pa 7. still looking for an 8

5:52 am

as first vowel, cons and the first vowel again and plural

5:53 am

as 5/10 ==the study of the human body: ***tomy and plural

5:53 am

thanks mag and babble!

ok then he could have stayed on a park bench or in a hotel room but he stayed with someone that says you are crap as a person. OK ill shut it now as i don't want to upset you and i don't know the full situation but still you deserve better

5:53 am

sorry dont get it babble

5:53 am

yw wolvie and hello

5:54 am

I know, I can hear myself and I sound ridiculous, but I really care about him and if I have to lose the love of my life I'm not loosing my best friend too

5:54 am

try mags clue sha

5:54 am

hi mag. :-)

5:54 am

oh hey wolvie--i am busy getting familiar with the grid

5:54 am

a good one today, scrabbler. :-)

5:54 am

thx

5:55 am

I am working on the 2nd Q.....

kth i will say just this, if he was any type of friend he wouldn't hurt you or the kids

5:55 am

Did someone just give the pa 8 clue? I missed it. The list goes by so fast, I can't keep up with the cats.

5:55 am

i'm not proud wolvie, wil take clue for pa7/40, lol

5:56 am

Best friends don't do what he is doing

oh sod i didn't see that qu there

5:56 am

use some change scrabbler and you will get there. :-)

5:56 am

plural the first Q

oh kate. take care of you and those girls. I'll keep praying for you.

5:56 am

I know herin and he's trying to hard not to, but if you don't love someone you can't stop it from hurting when you have to let go

5:56 am

pa 7 or 8?

5:57 am

oh - LOL andree - sure - I thought you had it - pa 6/7: a golf term minus last letter plus alt spelling for a ring of flowers, using the sometimes vowel - then plural

pa7 conference or informal talk, especially between enemies or warring factions

5:58 am

So far this is a strange grid with that line of A tiles

5:58 am

he's prepared to take on all our debts and more so that I can afford a fresh start with the girls, and he's prepared to stay with me so that life can go on normal-ish until I'm ready to leave, he is doing his best

5:58 am

kth. your involving to many people into your troubled life and it is just going to confuse you even more!

5:58 am

you get the 6 with that too merk. :-)

Been there got the black eyes and partial deafness as a result but no one ever deserves to be treated like crap. Yes it hurts but itll hurt the kids too. SO he bloody should

5:59 am

merk - do you have the pa 8?

6:00 am

thx wolvie

6:00 am

yw andree - merk's clue was easier. ;-)

6:00 am

My head is swimming. I'm trying to keep up with clues, but at the same time reading of poor kthdsn's woes. My head is swimming. I'm lost on the PA clues ... totally. I don't know golf terms, I guess ... only par for the course.

6:00 am

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drag everyone into my mess, I just needed someone to talk to

im confused permantly merl

6:00 am

merk - you are fine - we just need a clue for the pa 8 - we have the pa 7. :-)

6:00 am

Then I am not alone.

Go right ahead kth venting is good thats why i have a private online diary

I am wearing cat ears

6:01 am

go for it, kate!

6:02 am

I have pa nothing.

6:02 am

oh! I thought you clued the pa 7 as the conference? my mistake - see - we are ALL confused. ;-)

6:02 am

venting is good but,self pity just makes one feel worse.

6:03 am

Hi Wolvie pa 8 and 9 a form of mental illness, feelings of being watched

6:03 am

he'll be here soon and I'm so afraid that when I see his face I'll fall apart all over again

6:03 am

ahhhh - thanks harvey!

6:03 am

I can't think of the word for peace conference or golf terms. I've never been interested in golf. No time I guess ... not if I babble :-)

Hugs the Kath

thank you harvey. that clue I got!

6:04 am

merk - golf term minus last letter, plus alt spelling for a ring of flowers, using the sometimes vowel

6:04 am

Now that is a clue I understand. ty

6:04 am

ty herin, they're greatly needed and appreciated

6:04 am

TY--I got the pa8 and pa9!

kt, never be afraid to come here and talk to us. if we haven't been through what you're going through, we've been through something similar or know someone who has.

we're your safe place hon

6:04 am

not being flippant, but you probably will. just try try and keep a small bit of distance emotionally from him. just a small bit, bigger things grow from baby steps

6:04 am

absolutely right metal.

6:04 am

thanks metal

6:04 am

So now go back to the pa 7 please.

6:04 am

tx for the pa clues, and Guten Morgen "mouse potatoes"

6:05 am

I just clued it merk. the golf clue. :-)

6:05 am

kthdsn, read the book "Tough Love"

6:05 am

hi inge!

6:05 am

hasle

thanks ink

6:05 am

oops, into the penalty box for me. Serving donuts and coffee there???

6:06 am

it's so hard, every time I look at him I see the pain in his eyes and I just wish I could melt it away like I used to be able to

6:06 am

merk - think of the herb used in cooking, just lose the s in the middle, then put the s on the end for the 7

one thing I learned... you have to decide if it hurts more to stay (physically/emotionally/psychologicall y) than it wll to leave ...

6:07 am

sounds like a plan inge. :-)

6:07 am

I know that unless he can look into my eyes and tell me loves me, I can't stay

6:07 am

if *he* has chosen that you can't, its not about *your* abilities, its his choice. don't *you* feel unworthy because of *his* choices

6:07 am

got that Wolvie

6:07 am

Wow! ty ... good clues

even if he says the words kt, you also have to judge his actions, all of them.

6:07 am

onna

6:08 am

the donuts or the coffee. ;-)

*shutting up now so kt won't feel bulldozed*

{{{kt}}}

6:08 am

how did that monkey get out of the penalty box~!!

6:08 am

I don't know, but I hope he does better!!

6:08 am

it's ok metal, my head knows all of this, but it's so hard to listen to my head instead of my heart

my head knew it for over three years before my behind finally got the message and got out. it's not easy, but sometimes it is necessary

6:10 am

pa6/21 please

6:10 am

anagram of what we find in oysters andree

6:11 am

my head knew that my first marriage was over before we even got married, I don't know why I didn't listen to it then, but this time I'm determined to

6:11 am

or plural of the second (so far) pa 5/12 - I am still missing 4 p words, so am not sure of the order

6:11 am

Today, kate, do two things for yourself. Tell your children how important they are and how much you love them; and swallow some food if you cannot chew it.

well, whatever your decision hon, we're here for you.

6:12 am

I have told them babble, I keep telling them, I managed to eat 2 grapes and it feels like I've eaten a 10 course meal

6:13 am

kth, I am confused your profile says you are only 23?

6:13 am

thank you so much everyone for being here for me, it's so nice to know that there are people all over the world who care about me

6:14 am

of course we do, dear *hugs*

so right kth

6:14 am

yes andree, I'm 23, mother of 3, about to be divorced for the 2nd time

6:14 am

ok, then go look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are a loving, lovable person.

we do care kate. that's why we get so emotional about it.

6:14 am

wolvie I am looking for second pa on list pa6/21, have the other

6:15 am

Kthdsn, I repeat, read the book Tough Love. It saved my marriage and that of others to whom I've referred it.

6:15 am

so the oyster one is the first? okay - then I am missing the second as well. sorry.

6:15 am

ok merk, I will

6:15 am

I haven't opened lickety yet, so it's a bit confusing - my normal state. ;-)

6:16 am

don't get the oyster clue

6:16 am

No sea birds today. They've been here in abundance this week.

6:16 am

babble I don't think I can look in the mirror, I don't want to watch myself fall apart

6:16 am

the anagram of what's inside an oyster - that's the pa 6/21 I clued earlier. :-)

6:18 am

get over it and go on with life for your self and your kids.

6:18 am

I will come back tothat wolvie, we have deliscious oysters here, only oyster inside though, lol

andree. the jewel tht comes from oysters.

6:19 am

6:19 am

clue for the other pa 6/21 please?

6:20 am

pa = a friend + first vowel + first person of are

9:52 am

a llittle dab'll doya

9:53 am

Is anybody ancient enough to remember the Burma Shave signs on the road?

I remember when they started broadcasting TV shows in color... how only some programs did that.

9:54 am

it sounds like something i might have seen when my family drove west... didn't have them in suburban nj.

I remember seeing them, but just the ones left over so to speak. they'd quit making the item long before

I came along

9:54 am

i know meta... and the nbc peacock was a big deal, showing that they had color. and No one had remote... it was a big deal to get a color tv, or remote control. but then we could go on and on ....

9:55 am

They were mostly in Pennsylvania and upper New York State.

9:55 am

i have an se5/18 and an se5/10...no 5/12 yet

very true, it's somewhat amazing to me to come to the realization that I am now the older generation and that I refer to the good old days

9:56 am

se 5/12 == my***f your***f him***f first 3 like that and the doc tells you to open you mouth and say **

Steve Buscemi is one of the very best at weird and convincingly off the wall characters!

The end was very strange...but the movie was mistitled. It should have been called "Branaird"

10:40 am

Yes Con but only boring ones!!

10:40 am

10:40 am

a sea creature that usually STARTS with an h, or...?

10:40 am

as long as they're harmless! bye ypsi

10:41 am

nooo - just has an h in it ithink - as I said, i had no idea what it was - supposedly has a horn too. :-)

10:41 am

a sea creature with a horn...

10:42 am

oh yes!

10:42 am

na - almost sounds like narrow,

10:42 am

i know that creature!

10:42 am

Google spells it exactly as it appears in the grid - never seen one - not in our seas

10:42 am

figures you would know the term. ;-)

10:43 am

I will have to google the dang thing - like I said, I had never even heard of it. ;-)

10:43 am

thanks for the help :) :)

10:43 am

hey ursh, google aslo shows it spelled with an e at the end...

10:44 am

Most strange creature - like a dolphin with a looong horn

10:44 am

google doesn't know anything about spelling. it will find anything, so if anyone anywhere has spelled it differently, it will find it.

10:45 am

yeah - it shows the h in the middle, the way it was clued this morning as well. ah well. Definitely learn something new every day. :-)

10:46 am

my biggest problem now is S5's and 6's

10:46 am

Sorry Wolvie - articles brought up by Google spelled it the same as grid

10:46 am

hey no prob ursh - I still learn things, which is the good thing

10:46 am

*Hurshy

10:46 am

I'm totally lost here, we obviously don't have them round our shores either!

10:47 am

well it prob does have legit alt spellings, i'm just saying, google will find anything :)

10:47 am

10:49 am

Looking at the articles i think the word should have an h for english spelling

10:49 am

i don't know wolvie, i'm listless

10:49 am

i just know i have 6 s's left, and only two of the total words i have left are 4's, so i must miss some s 5's and 6's :)

10:49 am

I'm so sorry.... I know how it must feel to you, but your life will definitely get better..... You have strength you just don't realize.

I better get, hugs to you Kate. Take care.

12:02 pm

yw. If you change your mind, send me an e-mail. Take care

12:02 pm

12:04 pm

ok, got to 64 left on my first pass through. bbl.

12:05 pm

bye feather

12:05 pm

Bye Feather

12:06 pm

sim to me wolvie - only have 1 T and 5 S's, and a P

12:06 pm

I just don't know what to do with myself, I can't eat, I can't sleep, the tv doesn't feel right, I don't care to read, there doesn't seem to be any point in anything

12:07 pm

one p? is it a 4?

12:07 pm

i know that feeling kate - how about a bubble bath?

12:07 pm

i don't know how long it is wolvie

12:07 pm

kt - just focus on your girls. tht wil be the ticket - and I like hurshy's idea

12:07 pm

we have no hot water

12:07 pm

You're still in shock, Kate. That will eventually wear off and the reality of the situation will make you more determined than ever to move on, and ultimately triumph over a horrid situation.

12:07 pm

jeez - sorry to hear that kt.

12:08 pm

can you take a walk?

12:08 pm

no the kids are in bed and he's gone to work

12:08 pm

I am missing a th 5/6 combo it seems

12:09 pm

Shalom Everyone

12:09 pm

hi ARB

12:09 pm

do you like to paint or write or anything? maybe you could try to get out some of your feelings in a creative endeavor

12:09 pm

Hello ARB

12:09 pm

else

12:09 pm

sooooory

12:10 pm

got that one arb. ;-)

12:10 pm

what would i write, there are no words for this

12:10 pm

i know what you mean but once you start to try it kind of just comes

12:10 pm

It's been along time -- i FORGOT ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF TYPING IN THE CHAT BOX!

12:11 pm

there's always the curl-up-and-cry-until-you-fall-asleep- from-exhaustion option

12:11 pm

and caps

12:11 pm

You're right... now is the non-thought time... just raw feelings. Perhaps just sitting in the dark, and weighing the positives over the glaringly obvious negative of the whole mess.

12:11 pm

no biggie ARB - just cute. ;_)

12:11 pm

kt, something that helped me a bit.... was to draw. it doesn't have to be good and it doesn't have to look like anything specific... it can just be random shapes and/or colors...

12:12 pm

I don't think I could draw right now without tearing through the paper

12:12 pm

that's ok too.

12:13 pm

have you got any chocolate?

12:13 pm

use newspaper and do it in crayon or ink or pencil for that matter

12:13 pm

I'm trying so hard to see a positive, I know there is one, but I can't feel it

12:13 pm

if all you want to do is scribble, that is good enough

12:14 pm

I'm exhausted, I might just take the crying myself to sleep option

12:14 pm

it does suck kt, and it will hurt for a while... but it is a necessary thing and will bring you peace

12:14 pm

eventually, it will feel less bad

12:14 pm

i do that one a lot myself kate, the advantage of it is that it requires no effort

12:15 pm

fireworks!

12:15 pm

I really need to do laundry, there are no clean clothes, but I don't think I can force myself to do it right now

12:15 pm

that's always a good choice, sleep will allow you time to rest and will give a bit of separation from the immediacy of the moment

12:15 pm

YAY Wolvie

12:16 pm

'sok kate, clean clothes are not absolutely essential.

12:16 pm

kt - I wish there was something i could do to help you.

12:16 pm

any quick clues before I go - must bake some cookies...

12:16 pm

Just read the log, and I am so sorry for your predicament kth. I know this is going to sound harsh, but I think it has to be said. From what I have read it sounds like he has been behaving like a heel (sorry folks) -- there is no excuse for cheating -- and you are allowing yourself to beome a victim. As hard as it is, you are going to have to look after your own health and look after your girls.... sorry.

12:17 pm

thanks wolvie, just being there to listen is all you can do and I really do appreciate it

12:17 pm

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

wolvie waiting for con's clue request...

12:19 pm

12:20 pm

fa la la la la la la la la la

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

I sympathise kth -- I was just trying to get you to fight -- not accept being a victim for your own sake and that of our daughters. It's going to be a tough road for a while, but I'm sure you can handle it.

12:20 pm

1:35 pm

Babblers, for days I have been reading about Katie's dilemna, her nearly hopeless situation. Is anyone else thinking along the lines of helping her meet the cost of her flight and three girls to Toronto? Is there a babbler in Toronto, who could set up a fund? Anyone thinking along the same lines could e-mail me at the address in my bio, if you would rather not discuss it in the chat. What a great Christmas presetn we could create....

1:36 pm

I agree, inge

1:36 pm

i'd like to help inge

1:37 pm

hello all how is everybody and what is the story with Katie?

1:37 pm

econ -- look back in the log

1:37 pm

i don't know that we need a babbler in toronto - we need a babbler who can set up a place for us to donate on the web.

1:38 pm

and we will need to tell her so she can tell us how to get her the money.

1:39 pm

what if someone were to set up a trust fund with a bank in Britain that we could transfer funds to?

1:39 pm

we should find out if she wants it in a bank in britain, or in canada, or what would be easiest for her

1:40 pm

I was wondering whether we could let her borrow it from her parents whom we would then repay. I am not financially savvy. Could we ask CHj to set up a fund? Good idea nan, just as long as that scum bum doesnt get a hold of it

1:41 pm

maybe we could work it through paypal?

1:41 pm

we need doc or swmbo or some computer-savvy person's help.

1:41 pm

Should we ask Dr. God for assistance?

1:42 pm

i'll pop him a line

1:42 pm

hi folks :) kate said earlier that she had found the money... she's planning to travel in January, after she's sorted out a few things... ...but she was asking earlier if there were any Babblers in Toronto...

1:42 pm

Perhaps we should find out if she would be able to leave Britain. In Canada she would need permission from the father to take the kids out of the country and his consent to giving her custody.

1:43 pm

kth said earlier he had given her the money so that she can get to Canada with the children.

1:44 pm

That's good to hear. She said she only needed the passports for the girls to get away

1:45 pm

It doesn't sound like there's anything other than waiting for the passports to hold her back, then. I'm assuming that kate is a Canadian citizen

1:45 pm

Dont know of any Toronto babblers. Several of us are in Michigan, even more in Ohio and Upstate NY

1:45 pm

oh, lol, i already sent email to doc

1:46 pm

Good Hurshy, even if she has the passage money, we could help her get started in Canada

1:47 pm

she may not need his permission, it's her second marriage, so i don't know if he's the birth father to any of the kids

1:47 pm

still missing an a...

1:47 pm

she said he is brithfather to the third girl

1:47 pm

11:33 pm

I thought I would not have enough time today becaquse of the 80 minutes spent on the tarmac in an airplane with the engines off, but I had made a copy of the grid to work on when I was on the plane

hi helen!

first pa6/21 please?

11:33 pm

11:34 pm

french for palace owl

11:34 pm

cnan, doc doesn't really want to get involved in the project we were discussing earlier, but i was looking at paypal, and you can send money on there to anyone with an email account. i think if kthdsn sets up a new email account and we post it on babanon, it will be pretty easy for us all to help her out (obviously she wouldn't want to post her regular personal email cause of spam.) of course, we'll have to talk to her about it, she may not be willing to accept it, may not feel that she needs it.

11:34 pm

{{{{{rennie}}}}}

11:35 pm

good evening all

11:35 pm

hey ya nat

11:35 pm

hi nat

11:35 pm

LOL at your bio Dr B

11:36 pm

see what she says -- I'm not a great fan of pay-pal --- there are several complaints of non-payment or short-payment on the net when you google it -- and we have no way of knowing how much there should be in the account. I would much rather go through a bank if that is possible.

what's all this talk of kate?

ren- i don't speak french : (

11:37 pm

i always use paypal on ebay and never have trouble with it...

11:37 pm

pa+ do re me fa so ** + t** the season to be jolly

11:38 pm

at least there is a control there hurshy -- the amount is known to both parties. It was on the payout end that there have been problems. Vendors not getting their money.

11:38 pm

kate's husband ... has been... umm... and they are getting divorced... she's 23 with 3 little girls and it's her second divorce! she is moving from england to toronto where her family is as a result and some of us were talking about trying to help her out.

ty dawg and ren

11:39 pm

owl a freind is a pa* + the last2 words before i typed pa* - reversed.....:-)

11:39 pm

but the trouble is, if we go through a bank, do you think people who want to donate would have to know the account number? that wouldn't be good...

won't her family help her?

11:40 pm

I'll as a banker friend if it is possible to set up a trust fund account that can receive money transfers through interac.

11:40 pm

what is nine letter anyone?

11:40 pm

*ask

11:41 pm

pa 8/9 combo -- mental disorder --- everyone's out to get you!!!!

11:41 pm

i'm sure they will, TO - but i'm not sure if they have a lot of money, and we just kind of wanted to... i don't know, as a christmas sort of thing... be a part of helping her. but she may refuse it, anyway.

11:41 pm

we haven't talked to her about it yet.

11:41 pm

ikeyak, plural form of mental illness...fear that everyone is out to get you.

11:42 pm

thanks lbdawger

11:42 pm

i mean, when i think about it, i don't think i would accept it unless i were literally going to be living on the street otherwise...

oh i see

11:45 pm

well, didn't that just put a damper on the chat room

11:46 pm

isn't there normally a lot of scrambling to finish at this hour?

first se5/12

please

11:47 pm

it's a word that appears at the end of a lot of psalms

11:47 pm

se+ do re me fa so ** + silent consonant not y

11:47 pm

se 5/12 ending in psalms

11:47 pm

ty se5/10 after plu of srum

11:49 pm

I have 40 left and 12 min, I am not thinking I am going to see fireworks

same here

11:49 pm

Hurshy, if Kate's mother could set up a trust fund for her at a Toronto bank, all we would need to do is publish the name of the bank and the name of the account. Babblers could then go to their own bank to make a deposit in the trust fund account.

11:49 pm

add vowel TO, and add cons for another.

11:50 pm

think your bad Nati have 73 left

11:51 pm

last se6/30 please? ty

11:51 pm

pl of se 5/18

11:52 pm

se+ liquid that falls from the sky, drop the n, se+***ly round the bar boys, se+line or a *** of corn

11:52 pm

well, we'll ask her what she thinks.

11:53 pm

it is kind of funny that trust funds are called trust funds when a lot of them are set up because there is reason to distrust someone.

11:54 pm

hey is the babble clock lined up correctly now?

11:54 pm

actually, i think they were originally set up to be entrusted for the care of a minor til they came to their majority

11:55 pm

i know, lbdawger - but it's like because you don't trust the parent not to spend the kid's money in the meantime, or just that you can't trust the kid not to spend it unwisely until they are of age. i mean it does make sense but if you think about it a certain way it is ironic.

hi! i'm back! it all went well - must relinquish 'puter to the kiddies but may return after da flip.

11:56 pm

hey ya melon!

11:56 pm

yes, i see your point Hursh. and i can see more times needing it to be withheld.

11:56 pm

hi melon

11:57 pm

yo ren - luv the icon! happy hanukah!
