12:10 am

I'm also experiencing that condition, jes.

12:11 am

I always try aran

12:11 am

oh,i hope i'm not contagious!

12:12 am

No, I have a chronic condition. :-)

12:12 am

me too Jilli - don't know why it doesn't accept it...I thought it was a knitting pattern - not a Brand

12:13 am

Should I be concerned about a loudly snoring cat?

12:14 am

is it a new thing for the cat to snore?

12:14 am

This loudly, yes.

12:14 am

positional?

12:14 am

Just sew a cotton reel to the back of its pajamas Jellen

12:16 am

Yea Fran!

12:16 am

yay fran!

12:16 am

12:16 am

i'd guess the snoring is because of congestion then, if he's got a chronic upper respiratory problem.

12:16 am

oops

12:16 am

I hate re words -- they could be anything

12:17 am

It is Jilli, but still it should be accepted as it is well known

12:17 am

Has anyone seen granny max at all?

Thanks, doc!

12:19 am

12:21 am

Haven't seen ADHD in ages -- I wish she knew how much she's missed

12:22 am

woohoo found the re 6/7 combo

12:22 am

yay kiwi!

12:22 am

how many litter boxes do you have? ever try changing litter type/brand? sometimes they'll associate the box or sand with the discomfort of the infection/crystals.

12:22 am

Oh Franny, I've never had to deal that!

12:22 am

wow. that's interesting jes..

12:22 am

make sure you have multiple boxes, preferably in multiple rooms, and try several different types of litter to see if he likes one kind more

12:22 am

I have nothing bigger than a 5!

12:23 am

hmmm. still missing one of the 7's

12:23 am

if he has a place that he regularly pees now, either block off access to it, or put a litter box there.

12:23 am

hmm Diff kinds of liter in each box. hadn't thought of that

12:24 am

pick up or block access to anything even remotely litter-like (laundry, recycle paper, newspaper, shredded paper, the hermit crab cage/gravel...)

12:24 am

greyed the top O

12:24 am

have 4 boxes - on all 3 levels of house

hi babble buddies

12:24 am

hi dee!!

12:24 am

Hi, Dee

12:24 am

and clean the boxes daily, so he never feels like he has to use a "dirty" box

12:24 am

good eve dee happy babbling

ty kiwi you 2

hi jel fran

12:25 am

pigeonman - Still hot in Vegas

12:25 am

some cats don't like to share boxes (dunno why that'd be a new thing if he's always been fine with sharing before, but it might be)

I am owned

12:25 am

well, i'm thinking i should quarantine him in the bathroom for a while, while i Clean up his mess - need to soak all the furniture cushion etc in Hydrogen Peroxide - heard that works best, and soak couch covers in baking soda - yes?

12:25 am

hi y'all from Utah

I have a kitty on my feet.

12:25 am

b/c if he still Smells the places he's gone - won't he keep going there?

12:25 am

good eve corps happy babbling

12:25 am

Hi, corps

12:26 am

any major changes in the house? new pets, new people? missing pets or people? rearranged the furniture? went on a trip and stressed him out?

12:26 am

hi Kiwi, jellen

12:26 am

i will DEF try the different litter, and clean it daily (i admit, something i slack on)

12:26 am

Hi from you neighbor state Nevada Corps

12:26 am

Hi Corps

hi corpse and Kiwi and anyone else i missed.

12:26 am

bleach or hydrogen peroxide is best for getting rid of the smell, no ammonia cleaners.

12:26 am

hello corps

12:26 am

um, no, not in the time when he Started doing it. we Did just recently lose one of our dogs :( our beloved beagle Lady

12:27 am

hi geek, lynxxx, jilli, herin

12:27 am

hi corps!

12:27 am

hi fran!

12:27 am

hi corps

12:27 am

Did your state survive Burning Man, geek?

12:27 am

might also try getting some of the synthetic pheromone spray to spray your couch and whatnot with, as that can decrease urine marking

12:27 am

hi all, how is tonight's puzzle?

12:27 am

but he's been doing the peeing Long before this. and what's up with him going on the kitchen table??? like, On things that are on there - papers, other stuff.

I used Pura cat litter its great. It clumps vertically so you can easily poop a scope it out.

12:27 am

pheromone spray. ok. we tried one of those things that plug in - did nothing.

12:27 am

good eve orn happy babbling

12:27 am

not too bad here only 90 left

12:28 am

saint....he could be pissed at you (pardon the pun)

12:28 am

clumps Vertically? interesting. at the grocery store herin?

12:28 am

and papers on a table are similar to kitty litter

12:28 am

hard to say, saint. maybe he likes paper? try putting shredded paper or a paper-based litter in one of the boxes maybe

12:28 am

i use Febreze when my cear old cat makes a mistake

12:28 am

dear, that is

Saint its at pet stores.

12:28 am

lol monkey. but thing is, he's the Most affectionate of all of them... climbs in bed next to me and nestles in for a good nuzzle, etc

12:28 am

Hi, Ornith

12:28 am

hmm. the stuff i'm thinking of comes in a spray bottle. called Feliway. you spray it directly on the couch or wall where he's urinating.

http://www.purapet.com/whypura.htm

12:28 am

saint....jealous maybe?

12:29 am

marking you?

12:29 am

pigeonman - Timie to wake up...

12:29 am

is he neutered?

12:29 am

I use World's Best Cat Litter (yes, that's the brand name) - corn based so safe if they eat it off their paws, clumping, flushable, pretty good odor control

12:29 am

are all the other animals neutered?

12:29 am

i need to write some of these brand names down!

12:29 am

does he go outside at all or is he strictly indoors?

12:29 am

yes, all are neutered, as is he

12:29 am

Strictly indoors

12:29 am

heh. just go to the store and buy one of everything ;)

12:29 am

you definitely need something to clean away the smell (they make special products) - DON'T use ammonia-based anything, that smells like cat pee

12:29 am

ornith -- that sounds great

12:30 am

then keep the brand the cats like best :)

12:30 am

LOL no lie jes! i literally think i just might!

I will use the same litter for a week and scoop the clumps out ever day. I use the little tie sanitary bags to put the kitty stuff in it (also stinky proof)

Jes i do that with cat food

12:31 am

no, i know ornith. i recently learned about the hydo. perox. a cat person told me that stuff like nature's miracle isn't so good b/c sometimes the cats Like that scent

12:31 am

ok 75 to go brb best i feed the family

12:31 am

yeah jilli, I'm really happy with that - that and febreeze and I only have to mess with it once a week, no smell even in my studio apartment

12:31 am

herin - sanitary bags? what's that? b/c OY it does smell bad sometimes

12:31 am

later kiwi!

12:31 am

if all else fails, you can rip out all your carpet, put in linoleum or laminate flooring, only have wooden furniture, and make sure you clean everything every day ;)

Um lady's sanitary disposable bags. Kinda like a little nappy bag

Jes did you just get another new pet?

12:32 am

sometimes a cat will pee in weird places because he's upset, or because he's sick, or because the litter box isn't clean enough - anything new like that?

12:32 am

if utmost is a word, why isn't unmost?

12:33 am

pigeonman, any moose in the yard?

12:33 am

phantom: enumerate

12:33 am

homerun should be a word, too

12:33 am

oh, should have said utmo4 and unmo4 -- sorry

12:33 am

Ohhh jess. not a good solution! lol. Herin - where is that sold? am i out of it to not know what you mean?

12:34 am

but it's two, MM

12:34 am

I've never seen them either franny, maybe they don't have em here

12:34 am

yeah. Minnie, the one-eyed-wonder-dog

12:34 am

i know jilli...but for us it should be one :)

Awwww Jess is this another 'reject' that someone left at the clinic?

12:35 am

why not a good solution, saint? it's basically what i've done... i hate trying to clean carpet!

12:35 am

herin - like, is it something sold where you buy "lady products", in that aisle?

12:35 am

homer will just have to do, MM

12:35 am

not exactly. one that wasn't being cared for, in huge part because of money.

Yep its in the lady products isle.

12:35 am

yep jilli

I needed a small tieable non stinky bag and thought 'nappy bags but smaller'

12:36 am

well we don't have carpet, just some rugs, one of which i've already thrown out. about ready to replace the other one too actually. found a cheap one in the kmart ad i actually like. and frankly we May have to get new furniture!

12:36 am

so if all that stuff doesn't change things, i'd suggest getting a referral from your vet to a behaviourist.

12:36 am

or deciding that he'll be an outdoor cat, at least during the day :(

12:36 am

let's call this CatChat and DogBlog

12:37 am

well, you Def. gave me some good ideas Jes. i really appreciate it. the different litter is something i'll do Tomorrow!

12:37 am

heck, just bring him to the vet, he might have something wrong with his digestive system, that can cause that sometimes

12:37 am

pigeonman - Moose alert!!!!!

12:37 am

Oy - i just don't believe in outdoor cats jes. i live in a sub. neighborhood, and there Are outdoor cats around us, but, i could never.

12:37 am

making him an outdoor cat is a bad idea

12:38 am

lol monkey - works for me since i've got so many of both! hope the non-dog and non-cat people haven't minded for a little bit

Jess at least you have a happy home for the dog

12:38 am

stuck at 106. night peeps!

12:38 am

i don't like it either. but if it's a choice between that and destroying all your stuff, you know...

12:38 am

G'night, MM

12:39 am

Saint what about an outdoor kitty run?

12:39 am

maybe try confining him to a section of the house away from the other cats, see if he still sprays when he is an "only cat"

12:39 am

yay babble i was going through babble withdrawls :) haha Hi Everyone!

12:40 am

what about winter though herin?

12:40 am

hi carra

12:40 am

Hi, carra

12:40 am

Hi Ornith & Jellen

12:40 am

pigeonman.. Earth to pigeonman

12:40 am

yeah i live in RI

12:40 am

hi carra

12:40 am

as long as he has someplace warm to get to, they can do fine outside most places. or put him out in a run during the day and bring him in at night.

12:40 am

Hi Jill

12:41 am

was so excited.. got into the tents for fashion week in nyc :)

12:41 am

yeah jes - that's why i think putting him alone in the bathroom for a few weeks is a good idea. i mean, he'll see US a few times a day at least

12:41 am

interesting about the run - like something we'd Build, or does like Dr. Fosters sell it?

um

12:42 am

Oh carra - that's neat! did you see Tim Gunn?? :)

Google Cat runs

THere is lots of sites

12:43 am

ok will do

12:43 am

no i didnt =/ i saw carmen electra

12:43 am

you'd probably have to build it, i'm sure you could buy one but it'd be fairly spendy.

12:43 am

one guy from americas next top model Jay and vogue editor anna wintor

12:43 am

glad nobody noticed I accidentally posted a word a while ago

There is one that gives you ideas. I am looking at one for my kitty as she is an idoor kitty

12:43 am

omg i just read a book about anna - she scares me ;)

12:43 am

i've seen a couple home-made runs that opened off of a bedroom window so you could let them in and out through that in good weather, anyway.

12:43 am

pigeonman

12:43 am

lol jilli

http://www.thecatsden.net/

12:44 am

there was alot of people surrounding her body guards ect lol she doesnt seem so nice

12:44 am

also, if you have a fenced yard, there are places that sell adapter things for the top of the fence that are supposed to keep cats from climbing over... 'course, that assumes your fence is good enough that they can't go under or through it.

My kitty is on my foot. ALso Saint google outdoor cat runs.

12:45 am

my friend snuck me in lol! i got a goodie bag too

12:46 am

wow, this is an idea i'd never heard of/thought about, but i like it! they Love sitting in the windows and i feel bad they can't go out like the dogs do...

12:46 am

hi carra! what fun!

12:46 am

yum, made a yummy stew for dinner, had time to let it cook down and thicken naturally from the potatoes. it's the first time my husband liked the stew i made.

1:11 am

Good for you, Fran.

1:11 am

night geek

1:13 am

See you in a few days. I won't be back on till Friday.

Have a safe trip nad g'nite to all

1:14 am

nite geek sweet dreams

I have a great German stew recipe that you cook for 5 hours... use one bottle of Killian Red for thickening, golden mushroom soup, Lipton's onion soup mix, potatoes, carrots, onions, stew meat that has been dredged in flour, salt, pepper, then braised in vegie oil, fresh garlic, parsley cooked slowly on top of stove in cast iron dutch oven

1:15 am

wow, that sounds good. what's killian red? a beer?

1:15 am

I make a great stew in the microwave

dash of cayenne pepper for "heat", water added if beer doesn't keep potatoes "wet" enough

1:16 am

i have a really great one that uses frozen schnitzel, oxo cubes, onions, carrots and a crockpot lol

yes, a beer that makes a gorgeous color of broth/gravy

I don't think we have frozen schnitzel here, sounds good

1:16 am

its just the schnitzel cut of beef = the really thin stuff

didn't know that, thanks! sounds good

1:17 am

well, I have at least one word for each available tile and eyes are slamming shut so night all!

1:17 am

making me feel hungry!!

1:17 am

copied that down dee, i hope i can find the killian red.

1:17 am

what you do is get two kilos of that and freeze it. in the crockpot put onions carrots

1:17 am

night jilli! sleep well

1:17 am

then two oxo cubes in t+3

1:17 am

night jilli!

1:17 am

G'night, jilli. Sweet dreams!

1:18 am

sorry dropped the phone as it rung

If not, try a dark beer

1:18 am

two oxo cubes crushed into 1 1/2 cups water throw that in the crockpot

1:18 am

i wish i had a crock pot!

recipe came from a babysitter we had as a kid

1:18 am

put in the frozen slices of schnitzel and cook on low for i hours

1:18 am

okay dee.

can even be baked in the oven

1:18 am

for 8 hours lol

1:18 am

then thicken as necessary

1:19 am

I have one I never use, Fran!

1:19 am

and its done - the kids love it

1:19 am

i couldnt live wihtout mine - cooked meatloaf in it last nite

1:19 am

we don't even have room on the counter for one!

1:19 am

it would have to take the place of the rice cooker and that's not going to happen.

1:20 am

that i dont have lol

1:21 am

we'll probably get on sooner or later, my husband and I always look at them when we go shopping.

1:23 am

jellen, you're always talking about foraging for your meals, it's no wonder you don't use your crock pot. :-)

1:24 am

I just can't get motivated to cook for one.

1:25 am

jellen, did you see that book i recommended to jilli? it's on my to-read shelf: alone in the kitchen with an eggplant

1:26 am

I saw the title. Should I check it out?

1:26 am

it was on a cooking blog i read, supposed to be short stories about cooking for one with recipes.

1:26 am

it reminded me of the times i used to housesit for people

1:26 am

Putting on my to-read list now.

kiwi do you cook your stew on low?

1:27 am

i found it on half.com, just waiting for payday to get some new reading material.

1:27 am

time for me to go, have fun all, good luck!

1:27 am

bye mva! have a great day

1:28 am

nite mva sweet dreams

1:28 am

yes dee

1:28 am

turn it on low before i go to work and its ready when i get home

1:28 am

Bye, MVA

1:28 am

i have to go too, i clogged the sink with the potato peels, we have to go to WalMart to find something to unclog it!

1:29 am

oh gee fran have fun lol

I'll have to try that. Do you ever use the new cooking bags for crockpots? My brother loves them, says their claim of no clean up is 100% tr4/5

1:29 am

Bye, Fran. Good luck with that! lol

1:29 am

well i didnt know they did them - dont think they have arrived over here yet lol

1:29 am

thanks everyone! i'll report back later! :-)

1:30 am

dee have you done meatloaf in a crockpot?

very new here... he said in Pittsburgh they cost $2.47 US for 4 of them, but they were worth every penny. No, I never have... saw what you said earlier, and was thinking about trying it. Do you use same recipe as oven?

1:31 am

fireworks

wtg

1:31 am

woohooo wtg pigeon ^5 - im about 25 behind you lol

1:31 am

Congrats, pigeonman!

1:32 am

$2.47 is about $5.00NZ not too bad i guess

1:32 am

Pretty good for me. Started a half hour late. 210 words in 1 hour 1 minute. (Pats self on back)

impressive! He hates clean up and has zero time, so said it was worth it for him (also cooking for one)

1:33 am

Anyone need a clue before I go?

1:33 am

1 meatloaf recipe - 2 eggs (i usually use 3) 2 slices bread ripped into small chunks 2 pounds hamburger (mince for us lol) 1 small onion chopped milk as needed salt and pepper to taste kethup on top

1:33 am

ketchup lol

1:34 am

beat eggs add bredcubes. Add enough milk to moisten all. Season. Add hamburger and onion, squish all together with hands.

1:34 am

Is it ketchup or catsup? I've seen it both ways. Are they both correct?

1:34 am

the ar 6 24 pigeon

1:34 am

place in crockpot, flatten and pour ketchup on top - enough to cover completely. Cook on slow for 8-10 hours.

1:34 am

either way is fine

1:34 am

sometimes we even use barbeque sauce for the kids

sounds similar to mine... just use tomato paste in lieu of ketchup and a little worchestershire; I'll try the crockpot; sounds like a great idea. You don't add any water for crockpot?

1:35 am

Same first three letters as the word before it. Then letters that usually have to do with peeing.

1:36 am

Lousy clue, but the best I could come up with.

1:36 am

nope no water

1:36 am

Gotta run. See you all Friday. Luck to all.

neat ty vm great idea; your meals always sound yummy!

1:37 am

Bye, pigeon

1:37 am

got it thx pigeon

1:37 am

you have motivated me to cook several times here lol my hubby loves you!

1:38 am

double shucks and blushes lol

yw :~)

1:38 am

remind me to hunt out my recipe for extra fluffy corn fritters another nite lol

YUM

when our daughter left for college & I was diagnosed with RA, I lost interest in cooking, so now I am trying to get motivated again

1:39 am

Corn fritters, I could get into those!

1:40 am

well i do have a website www.cookingforfun.info but i havent had a chance to do much on it for a long time

1:40 am

and i also run a receipe swap group cookingforfun@yahoogroups.com

1:41 am

this can get upto about 300 recipes a week on a good week most weeks between 50-100

wow I'll have to check them out next week!

1:43 am

1:44 am

You're not alone, tragic :)

3:17 am

Hi Hydra

3:17 am

very appreciated

3:17 am

it seemed like it for a bit there :)

3:17 am

5 silent minutes are long silent minutes in here

3:18 am

I'd been zapping in the words and not reading the chat and suddenly I saw your plea for company!

3:18 am

but it's like staying up to read... atleast i had the grid to keep me company

3:18 am

is does get quiet at this time - till the UK contingent arrives

3:18 am

:)

3:18 am

it's noon there, isn't it?

3:18 am

OMG, am I the only Brit on the grid? Seems like it.It's 9am here.

3:19 am

It's 6.00 pm in Aust

3:19 am

interesting... it's only a 5 hour difference

3:19 am

wow- and i didn't realize it was a 14 hour difference between here and aus, though... it's big place, there's a few time zones, no?

3:20 am

Why are you still up at 3am stud?

3:20 am

dogs needed to pee

3:21 am

4am

3:21 am

How many do you have?

3:21 am

Yes, we are the size of the US. Soon we go into daylight saving wich will confuse it a tad more

3:21 am

and then i wanted to tell my alaskan friend about a date i went on

3:21 am

1 dog, 1 pup

3:21 am

i should change my pic to them

3:21 am

Ooh! Was it a good date?

3:22 am

Sorry. I'm being nosy!

3:24 am

don't apologize, i brought it up!

3:24 am

i think it went well...

3:25 am

it's kind of hard to say because she was the most comfortable person i've ever been around - which means that she either returns the feelings or is actually just the nicest and most amazing humans

3:25 am

ever

3:25 am

Hope so. Then you can change your name to happystud!

3:26 am

heh- nah... i'll always be tragic

3:26 am

too big a heart

3:26 am

Ah! Sweet!

3:26 am

3:26 am

i've slowed down at 18 words

3:26 am

lol

3:27 am

Must go and start work. Will pop back later. Yes, it's hard lynxxx

3:27 am

bye hydra

3:27 am

have a good day

3:27 am

Sounds like a good date Tragic - either that or you have a great new friend

3:28 am

yeah- i've definitely gotten one or the other... and had an entire evening where i didn't compare the experience to what it was like to be with my ex

3:28 am

which is even better than having a great new friend

3:28 am

i've been working hard for that experience to happen

3:28 am

that definately sounds like progress!

3:29 am

and, friend or otherwise, this woman was beautiful

3:30 am

and it's never a bad thing to have spent a few hours with a beautiful and brilliant woman

3:31 am

that is a terrific combination - hope it progresses well for you

3:31 am

thanks :)

3:37 am

lady :)

sounds like you had fun

3:37 am

Hi

3:44 am

the letters are making my brain hurt

You do that sleep thing. The grid is hurting my brain too. My house mates keep poking the sleeping kitty

3:45 am

heh- i didn't recognize my icon and thought that someone else was on saying they might acutally need to go to bed

3:45 am

good Tragic - you certainly don't seem to get enough sleep - sweet dreams

3:46 am

:) babblers are such caring people :)

3:46 am

Some people can curl their tongue some cant

7:53 am

just joined...though i dunno how often ill remember to check back there...heh

7:53 am

ata, you don't have to read books with us, just use it to find new books! and we can see what books you've read and get ideas from you. the "club" idea actually came a while after we started the group.

7:54 am

lol, i just helped daniel get some play doh out of the container, and he tells me "good job!"

7:54 am

ok, off to get a couple more hours sleep - see you again at flip

7:54 am

hehehe

7:55 am

sweet dreams, flosey

7:55 am

i now have 8 books on my to-read list just from seeing what others are reading

7:56 am

I wish I only had 8 books on my to-read list!

7:57 am

check the site out ata, it's cool

I just found my local library but cant access the dang net

7:57 am

the best thing is just to get everyone as your friend, then you can see what books they review or are reading. you don't have to add your own books if you don't want to.

7:58 am

"unate"--threw up

7:59 am

lol good cos I'm not sure most people would be interested in things like "Geometric Design in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Art" and translations of the "Ancrene Wisse". I do read weird books!

8:00 am

definitely an interesting site -- thanks!

8:00 am

actually that sounds cool ata! the design one at least

8:01 am

the book we decided to read is "the meaning of everything: a history of the oxford english dictionary"

8:01 am

its not, believe me. LOL. its all about different size rectangles and how they relate to pictish knotwork panels. Its making me fall asleep and I need to read it!

8:01 am

i love reading the ratings and reviews of books

8:01 am

I hope Tolkien is mentioned in that book!

8:02 am

ohh, so not a big pretty picture book?

8:02 am

nope *sigh*

8:03 am

bye aloy thanks for the help

10:55 am

Isn't a nerf ball spelled nerf?

10:55 am

it is nearly 2 am in the morning here

10:55 am

hi merk

Hi Anne, why aren't you in bed?

10:56 am

bye Aloy

10:56 am

10:56 am

it's just 8:55 am here... I'm still drinking my morning coffee

10:57 am

last re 6/21 pls

10:57 am

11:00 am here

10:58 am

i have 2 words to finish

10:58 am

These words sometimes make no sense. If you are bare, as in nu**, how can you be more bare?

10:58 am

Go, Anne, go!

10:58 am

I still have 63 left

10:59 am

Alas. Some words make no sense. "Bodum" is a word, but it's not be accepted here. It's a coffee thingy.

10:59 am

OK I chose sedate blue icon, for today. yes the nerf ball is exactly that

11:00 am

Is it a brand name that they don't recognize it here? They recognize a lot more odd things than nerf and smurf.

11:00 am

Just to keep us guessing, Merk

11:01 am

hey all again

11:01 am

go anne..go anne

11:01 am

"bede" is a word, too. As in The Venerable Bede

11:01 am

Nerf is a brand name. Bodum is not, so go figure. Just like some foreign words are allowed, but others aren't.

11:02 am

like some arcane piece of African money

11:02 am

And I try bede everytime it's in the grid. :-)

11:02 am

me too. Several times!!

11:02 am

hi carleekat hi fiber art need a quick coffee bbl

Hi, Carlee, are you on your break?

11:03 am

11:03 am

being decadent..eating chips and dip whilst drinking a pop

11:04 am

Then you'll easily finish the grid, Carlee

11:04 am

11:04 am

I finished at 8:41 this morning

11:05 am

11:05 am

11:06 am

hi everyone who just joined

11:07 am

hi debjed

11:07 am

I already have the du word, but who is babble 38?

11:07 am

hi, Doxy. Some farout words, but all in all manageable

11:07 am

Anne, who went for coffee

11:07 am

i need help with the last bo's. I have the bo*** identity and need two more at the end of list

11:08 am

don't we always have some farout words in these grids. nothing new

11:08 am

bo 5 is a diff. way of spelling to come into the world,

11:08 am

I wonder if the grid would take 'farout'

11:08 am

or try bo + what you put gramsp ashes into

11:09 am

"farout" was not found in the dictionary

11:09 am

probably two owrds

11:09 am

I think I am going to need a clue for the re 5,14. I've wasted quite a bit of time searching for it.

11:10 am

the last bo 5/16 rhymes with the structue you live in

11:10 am

Oh, duh, it just jumped out at me.

11:10 am

3:40 pm

hi sandie!

3:41 pm

True; but the weather changed here on Sept. 4th and it feels like Autumn now

3:41 pm

yes, it is cool here the last couple nights, and the big-leaf maples are beginning to get a bit of a yellow glow...

3:41 pm

that never worked for me for the autumnal equinox, only the vernal... don't know why

3:43 pm

Hi Sandi. Good Luck! I have 130 left to find myself

HI everyone

3:52 pm

hi peri

3:52 pm

sprite I don't know any german I barely know english lol

there's always george bush

3:52 pm

3:55 pm

I have to admit I did not fight back very hard, grin

3:58 pm

Sometimes the healthiest gift a person can give themselves is distance from family members who are 'sick', so to speak.

3:58 pm

I couldn't agree more, ch.

3:58 pm

be 5.16 = rhymes with a bug but uses the second 3rd consonant

3:58 pm

be 6 is plural

3:59 pm

Sandie: be + first 3 letters of erase on a computer.

3:59 pm

What an odd word. Wonder what it means? (goes to look)

Ty so much for that.

3:59 pm

ar 6.24?

4:00 pm

NO WAY! A person who is a caretaker of a building. Wow. Would never have guessed that.

4:00 pm

in dutch it would be a little thingy to hang from an armband.

4:00 pm

really, sprite? That's interesting. That definition actually makes a bit more sense with the construction of the word. Thanks.

4:01 pm

ar6.24 what you hand is on + to be certain or to be ***e

4:02 pm

oops!!!! ar6.24 what your hand is on + to be certain or to be s***. Sorry

4:02 pm

ah, I wondered indeed, lol, it did not take here.

4:07 pm

ch1212, Ata says the english word is charm bracelet :)

4:07 pm

if you scroll down to the bottom one, it tells about a very nice custom!

4:08 pm

Indeed it is. The example in that photo uses the 12 astrological symbols - very pretty. (goes back to look up the custom)

is it related to chatelaine?

4:08 pm

I love this community, lol. Where el4 can you find other people who love to look up something just to know :)

4:09 pm

4:14 pm

lol thank you

4:14 pm

de-lice isn't in this puzzle ;-)

clue for be 4/8 please

4:15 pm

Sprite, I translated the text -- what a delightful custom, though I wonder if some of the charms are not acidentally swallowed in the cake?

4:15 pm

ch1212, the translation (roughly) : Victorian brides give their bridesmaids and friends charms during the ceremony. (American custom). The silver charms, tied on a satin ribbon, were hidden in little cakes or petit fours. Each charm symbolises a hidden blessing. A heart for love, a telephone for good news, a rocking chair for a long life, a church for a happy marriage, a wishing well for wishes to come true, an anchor for future travels and a pineapple for friendship and hospitality.

4:15 pm

lice is the plural of lo5.12 though

4:15 pm

lol, yes I think they might have been, ch :D

4:16 pm

be4.8 is what you sleep in and last vowel

4:16 pm

a pineapple for friendship and hospitality? interesting!

4:16 pm

Thank-you Sprite -- your translation was much better than my poor effort, though I did understand the gist.

4:16 pm

yes, the whole staff is just devastated ( he was a great guy... a chef who donated his services to help the school every year one way or another, so we allknew him)

5:24 pm

re 6/21 please

there is something about that 50 mark (my friend's husband had a bad stroke at that age & but luckily he is better than ever now, much more like his old 20 year old self, when i first met him, more carefree, less stressed

5:24 pm

and as counselor, it's my role to help everyone with their feelings... some of the kids, but mostly the staff... on and off all day, talking about it.

5:24 pm

glad he recovered, hk

oh dorens, i don't envy you at all, how tough, i kind of think it would be nice if that could be handled the same way that a dog's death is handled with kids - you know, how the dog was just sent off to "the farm" & is living a better life - i suspect it's easier to handle the concept of 'the farm' than the concept of 'heaven' for kids

5:26 pm

found the re 6/21 its RE+fire a gun

oh well - 16 left and I'm giving up. I was only supposed to be on here for a short while and it's 11.24pm already an still got lots to do before bed. Happy babbling you lot.

5:53 pm

help with re7 please

5:53 pm

Yes, it does, Sandie :-)

5:53 pm

hi all - new to the board!

peri, its a plural

last 2 - the first 2 UR words - 5/12 and 6/21.

Hiya Alison - welcome to babble.

5:54 pm

re7 is plural of re6/30, which is to prepare to put a shirt on a shelf again

5:55 pm

thanks sandiangel

5:55 pm

Hi, alison. Welcome!

5:55 pm

so, i'm new....and I have a few questions:

5:55 pm

u + ra4/4 and plural

5:55 pm

go for it alison - we don't mind questions

i gotta get something to eat - bbl

Sandie - un =+ take away weapons , and plural

5:56 pm

the tiles at the bottom - why different letters with different numbers - (i know that you have words starting with m etc...but why 2 m's or 3 e's etc

5:57 pm

using the h in the top left corner, for example, you can look at the ties at the bottom and see how many words there are that start with that tile.

5:57 pm

They are in the same order as the tiles in the grid. Each box tells how many words start from that tile.

FIREWORKS!!!!!!!! Ty all for helping me finish. My poor husband is snoring next to me. I don't think I'm the most popular wife just at the moment. LOL.

5:57 pm

when you get all the words that respond to that tile, the number at the bottom gets greyed out.

5:57 pm

Congrats, Sandie!!

5:57 pm

yay sandie

5:58 pm

reshot

5:58 pm

ooooooh sorry

5:58 pm

5:58 pm

5:59 pm

hi all a clue for the ar 5/12 please

5:59 pm

Yes. Quite few of us are addicted.

Most certainly do Alison, you see it's an addiction!

6:00 pm

alison, I have the feeling that everyone finishes except me! No really, some days are easy and some days I don't get close.

6:00 pm

ar5= upper limb + friendly alien guy

6:07 pm

Hi, Dorens.

6:07 pm

hi jac

6:07 pm

that is funny to say that... hi jac... and after 9/11, probably not even funny

6:08 pm

Dorens - I was thinking the same thought.

6:08 pm

When Jean and I meet we have to go through the Hi Jac & Hi Jeam routine. LOL

6:08 pm

Hi Jean, I meant.

6:09 pm

knew what you meant... and then that is funny

6:09 pm

Pity we haven't got a Babbler named 'Karate'. *grins*

6:10 pm

ok what did i miss, what is not funny to say?

6:10 pm

(Thinking of that old aftershave Hai Karate.)

6:10 pm

well, if I come on when Movieman and BabbleRabble are here, I could say hi, men!

6:10 pm

ak - Hi Jac.

6:10 pm

ohhhh i am so stupid

6:10 pm

Dorens - ROFLOL

6:10 pm

no ak you are not!

6:11 pm

*Dons sunglasses* Heck, that was a hell of a flash.

6:12 pm

6:12 pm

ever have one of those days you should have stayed in bed? well today is THE day LOL

6:12 pm

i have them often ak

6:13 pm

Dorens - Have you got ne4/6? For ne5/14 add a vowel to end. For ne6/24 make the 5 a plural. For the following ne5 make the ne4 a plural.

6:13 pm

add a plural to the ne 5/14

morning everyone

6:13 pm

Hi, mrp!

6:13 pm

ak - Not had a good day? (HUGS)

6:13 pm

Hi, MrP.

6:14 pm

Oh dear, ak. Sorry to hear that.

6:14 pm

sorry to hear that ak... but you're here now so it's all over

6:14 pm

the frosting on my cake was as i was sitting at an intersection waiting for the light to change i was rear-ended

6:14 pm

How are you today MrP?

6:14 pm

Oh no!

6:15 pm

((AK))

6:15 pm

oh no, rear ended... anything other than the cake damaged?

6:16 pm

Dorens - I think she mend the cake as a metaphor.

6:16 pm

Meant, not mend! (Unless there really was a cake!)

6:16 pm

my car would not shift properly afterwards. the man at the garage told me that sometimes that type of crash screws with the cars computer. they will run a test or 2 on it tomorrow and let me know the cost of repairs. it needs obvious body work

good thanks! I have had a lovely few days with the inlaws here... my MIL cooked my favourite dinner last night, and she did it the way I like it too!! yay I have been able to do lots of nice cooking for the kids with her help of course

6:17 pm

What IS your favourite dinner, MrP?

6:17 pm

Now i am laughing .... Hi- jac, frosting on the cake.... do we all speak English?? this is too funny, great therapy

6:17 pm

ah, now who feels stupid, ak? (not reading your post correctly... MY face is definniely red)

6:18 pm

i honestly thought the frosting on a cake you were transporting was messed up, and that was all, and why were you complaining about that/?? slap me!

6:18 pm

I thought you were extending the metaphor, Dorens. :-)

chicken schnitzel... made with homemade breadcrumbs... I love wholegrain bread crumbs :)

6:18 pm

glad to hear your happy day, mrP

6:18 pm

no, i was just being dumb, jellen

6:18 pm

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

6:21 pm

MrP - That's a meal I've never tried. I must make it sometime. You'll have to put the recipe in BabAnon.

6:21 pm

Too silly? How can Babblechat get too silly?

6:22 pm

I usually scrape the frosting off store-bought cakes. Homemade frosting is another matter entirely.

6:22 pm

you have a point there

6:22 pm

renn

oh jac! never tried it? wow, it is my all time fav! I will post it

6:22 pm

6:24 pm

Yes, I didn't want to ruin my dinner, whatever that's going to be.

6:24 pm

good question mrp, this company does work 24 hours!

6:24 pm

Oh, MrP - I meant to tell you that I haven't listened to Babblebooks yet, not the last 2 anyway, or Babblecast 17. Although I can hear them perfectly on the laptop through itunes I get a disparity of sound levels on this silly new pc.

6:45 pm

it's really twisty all up in that corner knitter

6:45 pm

not that I can remember diddly-squat when I actually need it...

6:45 pm

6:48 pm

Go, Stid racer!

6:48 pm

ONLY KIDDING!

6:48 pm

I am glad you are assertive hurshy... too many people just assume "the doctor knows" all the time... with humans as well as animals.

6:49 pm

i think you have to find a good balance. you want to be educated and assertive, but also respect expertise.

6:49 pm

OK, I know this is not goodreads, but a) I can't go to that site until my life calms down, LOL and B) i just want to know if anyone has read Robert Goddard--mysteries, a British bloke.

speaking of goodreads, if anyone wants to do the book club thing, we're doing that on there too. i just got my copy of the meaning of everything tonight and have started! i'm so excited. i 've always wanted to do a book club.

6:53 pm

hursh - feather was covered with baby sick and she ran through the log to share it with us all, saying, 'If I'm miserable, you lot should be, too!' or words to that effect.

6:53 pm

yes but feather is one of those perfect angelic looking mothers who have hardly any troubles, i can sense it

6:53 pm

i'm just feeling the love coming from the west stid!

6:53 pm

6:53 pm

6:53 pm

Bookclub? Oh, dear...

6:53 pm

most of the time?

6:54 pm

I am going to check out the library and see if they have it

6:54 pm

thanks for the clues...thats fireworks for me....Goodnight to you all!!

6:54 pm

ak, at least i wasn't a scratch and sniff

6:54 pm

feather - well, I see you didn't self-electrocute. I hope you didn't strangle your eldest either??

6:54 pm

Congrats, Flask!!

6:54 pm

It's a great book--I LOVED it when I read it!

6:54 pm

actually, just remembering, feather... no matter how hard I tried when I had newborns, there was something out of place or "extra" on me -- a burp rag, "something" wet/gooey, or just my lactation working overtime. I hated it.

6:54 pm

homerun isn't a word???

6:54 pm

yay flask!!

6:54 pm

rarely perfect hursh. i'm a firm believer in not spanking, but i've had huge urges to do so frequently!

6:54 pm

although, I suspect others didn't notice it as much as I did.

6:55 pm

nope nutty

6:55 pm

dogs think everything is a scratch and sniff

6:55 pm

nope, all's clear!

6:55 pm

apparently not- was shocked when it flashed red

6:55 pm

frigga frackka frickkin fru

6:55 pm

overtime lactation, yeah, that's me. welcome to the world of leak pads 24/7 for the next year roughly.

6:55 pm

last re word please

6:55 pm

i like this song on this bread commercial

6:55 pm

Feather - I won't be joining in the book club thing where we all read a given book. I have hundreds (really!) of books stacked up to read and what I read and how long I take to read it depends on my mood/life etc. I will take an interest in the club but not join in so far as joint reading is concerned. xx

6:55 pm

goodevening all

6:55 pm

which one hursh?

6:55 pm

"i don't love you much, do i?"

6:56 pm

how's the grid? should I start?

6:56 pm

i knew it was that one, cute song

6:56 pm

that's fine jac! as long as you're still a member so i can peek at what you've read!

6:56 pm

hursh - re5/12 - to utilise again.

6:56 pm

6:56 pm

i also like the target one... a little bit more, a little bit more...

6:56 pm

ty jac that re was for me

6:56 pm

I am with you on the book club thing, Jac. I do love Simon Winchester, though

6:57 pm

I like the Target a lot, hursh!

6:57 pm

rh5 & 6 pls?

6:57 pm

i just dont' want anyone to not join our group at goodreads just because they don't want to do a book club thing. i'm all about the looking at the friend's lists!

6:57 pm

ok i am breaking down and asking for a clue for the en5/12

6:57 pm

I can't believe that last MU5... *gag*

6:57 pm

6:57 pm

arthritic, Mary

6:58 pm

I need to do a list...

6:58 pm

I like the lists, I like the reviews, I am treating goodreads as "jump in when I have time and inclination"... LOL

6:58 pm

Feather - leak pads? Yuck! I remember those. Walking around with what looked like 2 teabags down my bra... clearly visible through a tee-shirt. Damned things sticking to your nipples... sore when you peeled them off. AArgh! The joys of motherhood! Woman next-door also had a baby around same time as I had my 2nd... we each used to wake up when the other's baby cried AND we leaked.

6:58 pm

77 left and just starting the list here

6:58 pm

would you believe the rh clues gave me the NE? LOL

6:58 pm

go feather go!

6:59 pm

lol, you have a vivid memory jac, because you describe it perfectly! what was *really* fun was the day i realized i had the sticky tape on one of them stuck to a nipple.

6:59 pm

stid, they should also give you the FRs.

6:59 pm

en5/12?

6:59 pm

owie owie owie! *covers bosom with arms and moans*

6:59 pm

OUCH all you moms....

6:59 pm

I had the FRs ages ago... LOL

6:59 pm

lid, start with a word for last a long time and take the D away

7:00 pm

i've got a great supply, which is wonderful for pumping, but awful for leaking

7:00 pm

i found the gerber brand pads didn't stick and were very absorbent.

7:00 pm

oy! what's this about tape on nipples? jeepers!

7:00 pm

i like johnson and johnson, haven't tried gerber...will have to look into them.

7:00 pm

I had a fungal infection on my breast--a rash, by the way, is a sign of a particularly fast-growing breast cancer--so they took me right in for a scrape--that was pretty bad, too, as I recall...

7:00 pm

was wondering when you'd notice the chat nut!

7:01 pm

OD 5 please? unless it's a fish...

7:01 pm

a....scrape??? *shudders*

7:01 pm

the Lansinoh ones were crap too

7:01 pm

ga ga ga ga ga ga....*eyes cross*

7:01 pm

you know, this chat thing is slowing the word thing down for me...

7:01 pm

stid, it's like those ne, rh and fr words

7:01 pm

marty tried to eat my nipple once...

7:01 pm

OW! hursh!

7:01 pm

or maybe he was trying to nurse, i shooed him before i could tell for sure

7:01 pm

thanks fran!

7:02 pm

Just the dried milk sticks like hell and pulls the skin off! You mean they put sticky around the edges of the pads now?? Aargh!

7:02 pm

yeah, i'd have shooed him halfway across the room!

7:02 pm

yw stid!

7:02 pm

i thought it was pretty funny actually, and if he was trying to nurse, i think it's sweet that he knows i'm his momma :)

7:02 pm

poor marty... just trying to bond... LOL

7:02 pm

thanks, now i never will have children

7:02 pm

no, it's a one inch square of sticky tape, covered with a backing. i never take the backing off, just stick them in there, but the tape worked its way free one time.

7:02 pm

NO MORE TALK OF NIPPLES, SKINNED NIPPLES OR BABIES! Word clues only... LOL

7:03 pm

it's one thing when a baby bites, but baby teeth aren't nearly as pointy as cat teeth!

7:03 pm

LOLOLOL JAC!

7:03 pm

*stifling laughter over here*

7:03 pm

feather started it!!

7:03 pm

Feather - please tell me you DON'T nurse your cat???8-/

7:04 pm

7:04 pm

Phew!

7:04 pm

that's true, i just realized it.

7:04 pm

this is by far one of the most effed up convos i

7:04 pm

the BEST birth control I think is open and honest talk about what being a mother is all about... and the cute baby clothes don't even begin to make up for the getting up twelve times a night because you can't hear the baby breathing in the crib right next to you!

7:04 pm

ve ever seen in here

7:05 pm

I am done with RE words, down to 33

7:05 pm

lol, ok, no more nipple talk! i swear!

7:05 pm

what is so cute about baby clothes??!?!?!?!?!!! ah well.

7:05 pm

I take the blame entirely. BTW, that sticky tape stuff can be a shocker in other places where pads are worn, too. NUFF SAID.

7:05 pm

we cosleep, so the night thing isn't too bad. in fact, he slept 5 hours for the first time last night!

7:05 pm

yeah, no kidding jac! been there, done that.

7:06 pm

makes me glad how unlikely it is i'll ever make one of those noisly messly little piles of wrinkly skin.

7:06 pm

i would just like to point out that between their few really pointy teeth, cats have very very tiny harmless teeth...

7:06 pm

how about engorgement? anyone get that?....whew I thought my breasts were going to choke me

7:06 pm

grid? what grid? oh yeah, that one!

7:06 pm

we coslept with the second from day one, with the first after a couple months. It was safer than me dropping him every night as I sat next to the crib!

7:06 pm

... got the bald patch to prove it, too, I'll bet, feather.

7:06 pm

I didn't have breasts, I had cataloupes....

7:06 pm

daniel spent exactly one night in the crib, after that it was cosleeping all the way

7:07 pm

stid - Oh yes. The new baby noisy breathing... and then they suddenly go quiet... Nightmare time.

7:07 pm

I am done with R words entirely!

7:07 pm

mine were bigger than watermelons... my husband was scared of em

No, ak, it's not 'nose'. LOL. Well done. I suppose you're off outside to hang over your mailbox casually dressed in a slit skirt and fishnet stockings now? LOL

7:34 pm

Fran - LOL. I hope she didn't expel the gas?

7:35 pm

Hey Jacula, we have the same icon, almost. How did you get your yellow balloon to say Scrabbs on it?Cool!

7:35 pm

LOL, not in front of the paramedics. :-)

7:36 pm

people who were here saturday - weaned back on and am feeling a lot better

7:36 pm

Min - the other balloon reads FMitch. I wrote the words on in a paint programme. However, I'm still on this naked, alien, new pc that doesn't have all of my stuff on it. Had I been on the old pc the words would have been much clearer.

7:36 pm

hello all

7:36 pm

wasn't here saturday, but i'm glad you're feeling better hursh.

7:37 pm

hi scrabbler!

7:37 pm

Hursh - don't think I saw the Saturday thing but welcome back. x

7:37 pm

7:39 pm

7:39 pm

ak - have you made sure your suspender be4/6 has all its buttons intact? *Hands ak a threepennybit for a makeshift suspender button in case of emergency*

7:39 pm

scrabs did you have a carrot cake???

7:39 pm

i am typing with one hand because i am holding my elderly hamster, oliver, in my other as he is dying....sorry

7:40 pm

*Hands ak fishnet stockings. Don't ladder them!*

7:40 pm

se5/14 pls?

7:40 pm

Hi Scrabbler!

7:40 pm

oh, rest sweetly oliver!

7:40 pm

Scrabbs - Oh.... so sorry... been there myself with many pets, including hamsters.

7:40 pm

aww, poor oliver.

7:40 pm

threepenny bit?

7:41 pm

oh poor hammie

7:41 pm

ak - the threepenny or thru'penny bit was a wonderful coin.

7:41 pm

mary, se5/14 is a snakebite cure or type of cholesterol.

7:41 pm

i have had a sad 5 days....lots of sadness...so i am happy to be here in babble land..i told oliver that he can cross the rainbow bridge...

7:41 pm

I'm sorry, Scrabbler

7:41 pm

my last hamster was quite long lived. i made him a little coffin which i encased in duct tape and wrote on it "here lies theodore woodhouse, esq., aka baby. he was a good hamster."

7:42 pm

ak - Here's a pic of one: http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:Nu VmyHFlVJl0wM:http://www1.istockphoto.c om/file_thumbview_approve/1191375/2/is tockphoto_1191375_english_money_1967_t hreepenny_bit.jpg

7:42 pm

i have a pet cemetery with 3 rabbits and probably 2 dozen hamsters and gerbils

7:42 pm

fancy money you have there

7:43 pm

oliver was born jan 21, 2005 and is the longest-living hamster i have ever had

7:43 pm

Oh, sorry about the huge url, ak. Did you see it or should I tiny it?

7:43 pm

we had gerbils. I liked them a lot cause they made very little waste and we could give them the inside of the toilet paper rolls and it would keep them busy

7:43 pm

that is cute and sweet, hursh, and i read about the return to the med---i am glad you know to resume it '

7:43 pm

no i was able to view it jac. i just pasted

7:44 pm

yes, gerbils chew like crazy----tubes, boxes etc

7:44 pm

for some reason we tried mice and that was a disaster. My daughter was little and she started screaming when she saw one eat the other

7:45 pm

eww, oh dear

7:45 pm

Scrabbs - is Oliver a Russian or a Syrian?

7:45 pm

oh yes, we had a mouse 2-3 yrs ago, i forgot. it was my nephew's pet

7:45 pm

he is an albino, teddy bear hamster

7:46 pm

Our gerbil used to love watching 'The Bill' ,a British cop series, on TV. As soon as the theme music came up he'd be out of the bottom of his tank and up on the top of his house to watch. Even if we weren't watching it we left the TV on for him to watch it.

7:47 pm

ty FranMag got the se5. So sorry for Oliver, sad to lose pets.

7:47 pm

that is hilarious, jac!!

7:47 pm

the first lo 5/12?

7:47 pm

ty, mary. he has had a long, nice life.

7:48 pm

A syrian silk-coat then, Scrabbs? The syrians tend to live longer than the Russians and are more docile.

7:48 pm

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang it all, so close to "obdurate"

7:48 pm

lo 5 is the past tense of the place you'd hang an earring

7:48 pm

lo + family room

7:48 pm

i guess the teddy bear ones are syrians....our russian ones did not last long ever

7:49 pm

ty Jellen

7:49 pm

too bad, hursh---what does it mean anyway (me of a simple vocab)

7:50 pm

stubborn

7:50 pm

ok, ty

7:50 pm

Our mice (all 22 of them) cost us more money at the vet's with various skin and nasty lump problems than any other pet we've ever had. Many's the time I had a dying mouse wrapped in cotton wool and bubble wrap down my bra in its dying hours. I even once tried cpr on a mouse (who was almost SEVEN years' old) with a small straw. That was George. He was a super mouse.

7:51 pm

most of my hamsters died really fast - i don't mean their lives were short, but they'd be ok and then just be dead. baby died over like two weeks, it was really painful to watch.

7:52 pm

wondering the compression to breath ratio of mouse cpr

7:52 pm

i once brought a dying hamster to work, in a small box, and cushioned in soft tissues. that was greycliffe---a cute grey fellow. but i have never tried cpr on a pet

7:53 pm

good question, ak----300/2 ?

7:53 pm

hursh - One of our hamsters died in action on the wheel. He was there in the wheel in the running like hell position. Another took some food from her bowl, put her paws up to eat it and keeled over... gone.

7:53 pm

the slow deaths with hamsters is brutal to watch!

7:54 pm

yes it is sc - i think i am unlikely to get another because it was so hard.

7:54 pm

ak - no idea - I was just really, really careful.

7:54 pm

I give up, what's the first two lo 6/24's?

7:54 pm

i mean i would think he was gone, and touch him and he'd jump, but his body was already going cold, it was so weird.

7:55 pm

The fighters, whether rabbit, g/pigs, mice, hamsters, dogs, cats... slow deaths... awful to watch.

7:55 pm

i think i am done with hamsters now---the 4 bunnies keep me busy enough, and i struggle to take care of the house and me too

7:55 pm

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

7:55 pm

well must be off, time to shower etc and put on pjs

7:55 pm

see you all tomorrow

7:55 pm

bichon, lo4.6 with the make more ending and one with a bears living quarters ending.

7:55 pm

bye knitter!

7:56 pm

is the boob talk done?

7:56 pm

Goodbye aknitter! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

7:56 pm

oliver is limp but taking these weak breaths

7:56 pm

hursh - thee jump reaction stays for a while. |It's normal. Unfortunately, I know it is true that when a chicken gets its head cut off it races around for a while before its body drops.

7:56 pm

lo6 the second is to be more lo4/6

7:57 pm

lo6 the first is lo4/6 + d** (family room)

7:57 pm

lo6/24 adds a single hump letter to lo4/6 word bichon

7:57 pm

Scrabbs - just keep him calm and stroke him, and gently talk to him, telling him you love him. You don't need me to tell you that... you're doing it by instinct anyway.

7:57 pm

The other lo 6/24 word is opposite of quieter bichon.

7:57 pm

thank you all very much. Now I can go forward

7:57 pm

i am so glad that you guys understand about things like this. i don't think i know anyone else who would talk like this about hamsters.

7:58 pm

Scrabbs - in a while he will begin to gasp and his mouth will open wide... the end will be near then. Just love him.xxx ((Hugs))

7:58 pm

Have to leave, although I hate to. (((Scrabbler)))

7:58 pm

he has been cupped in my hand for 45 min....i told him that the british rabbitlady bids him a peaceful farewell

7:58 pm

Hursh - ((Hugs)) to you, too.

7:59 pm

yes, hurshy, i am glad no one is saying, oh it's just a hamster...

7:59 pm

bye jellen!

7:59 pm

bye, jac---ty!

8:00 pm

Goodbye Jellen! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!

8:00 pm

Scrabbs - I haven't gone.

8:00 pm

In the Episcopal church, Scrabbler, we have a liturgy for the loss of an animal--peace to you and your little hamster.

8:00 pm

fireworks

8:00 pm

oh, it's the other j that is leaving--jellen

8:01 pm

yahoooo angel!

8:01 pm

whoooo hooooo ANGEL

8:01 pm

Congratulations Angelsong on fireworks!Good for you

8:02 pm

Scrabbs - this is going to be a hard thing for you to do now... While you're still holding him he's going to keep hanging on. Put him down gently now onto your lap... don't stroke him now... just let him go in his own time. It won't be long. He'll still feel your warmth.

8:02 pm

ty miranda---i already was with a patient that died at the cancer hopital 4 hrs ago---i was with her parents....this day is just numbing

8:03 pm

yay angel!

8:03 pm

OK, I did it, Jac. I have gone through this so many times, but it is so nice to have everyone here now. I have often taken my sick hamsters to the vet's office and spent $35 to have them euthanized, just so I wouldn't have to watch this slow process

8:04 pm

But it is the evening and the vet is unavailable

8:04 pm

Oh, I'm so sorry. You're doing such important work. I have a fried who says that our animals are our intercessors--so that when we get to the afterlife and are reminded of our shortcomings, our hamster will say, "yes, but she held me while I was dying."

8:05 pm

jac -- your comment about not stroking reminds me of when my favorite cat died of leukemia. I was so tired and laying on the floor next to him weeping and stroking him. When I fell asleep for 10 min is when he died.

8:05 pm

Scrabbs - do you know what they do to small animals to euthanase them? This way is far kinder and far less agonising for them.

8:05 pm

TY, Miranda. Then I will meet many of my old buddies someday.

8:05 pm

Hello fruittart! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

8:05 pm

me, too. YW, Scrabbler

8:06 pm

They place them in a chamber with isoflorane (an anesthetic gas)

8:06 pm

Hello mirandapan! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:06 pm

oops, kids just came home so I gotta go again . . hugs to scrabbler!

8:06 pm

Hi, Min--fine and lurking--thanks for asking. Hope you're well.

8:07 pm

fruit - Yes. Hello. Pets are just as 'guilty' or hanging on because we need them as we are in our dying moments. A moment of saying I love you and now I'm letting you go is sometimes needed.

8:07 pm

Goodbye fruittart! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

8:07 pm

Mind you... some pets hang around after death, most welcomely anyway.

8:09 pm

I have "visitors" too, Jacula-animal and human

8:09 pm

Scrabbs - sometimes they do that. Other times they inject the overdose of anaesthetic straight into the heart. It is quite fast but extremely and violently painful for an end of lif.

8:10 pm

Yes, I have seen that done too, Jac

8:10 pm

Scrabbs - good to hear you still have loved ones around you. My Kira nearly tripped me up the other day, as was her wont in life!

8:10 pm

Sometimes I am startled out of sleep with my visitors!

8:12 pm

Thing is... all my other pets I just either feel or 'see out of the corner of my eye'. Kira's almost solid when I see her! Never when I'm thinking or talking about her either... sometimes, she's just on a chair, jumping off a chair, in the way (like cats are)...

8:12 pm

back again

8:12 pm

Scrabbs - my Dad did that to me just after he died. He bit my toe!

8:12 pm

and gone. phone.

8:12 pm

Very cool Jac! How nice to be comforted by her presence!

8:12 pm

Whoa, Jac!

8:12 pm

Scared the sh** out of me! But, then, he always did love a good joke.

8:13 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ar 5/12 word please

8:13 pm

Here I am struggling to find words and I forgot there is something called THE LIST! Duh!

8:14 pm

Never mind! I just got the ar 5/12 word! Thank you!

8:14 pm

and back. hey, who installed the revolving door?

8:14 pm

ar5/12 = ar + what you did when you got together with someone. You *** them.

8:14 pm

LOL, feather.

8:14 pm

Head for the open bit, feather.

8:14 pm

scrabbler! two minor ped. questions for you. 1-when do their eyes change color, if they're going to?

8:15 pm

OOPS! Who polished that glass?

8:15 pm

Hi featherbee!How are ya?Welcome back to the grid!

8:15 pm

think i figured it out finally jac! least i hope so

8:15 pm

*Hands feather an icepack for the bump on her head.*

8:15 pm

2-if i actually feel a bubble in nick's side, will burping move it?

8:16 pm

*thwock* belated sound of head hitting glass

8:16 pm

Eye color is usually set by 6 months. But I have seen (with my own dark green eyes) some kids with a new color after years!

8:16 pm

Ouch!

8:16 pm

we have wishes that the blue stays, but not much hope!

8:17 pm

Burping will only help if the air is in his stomach. If the air is further down in the intestines then he needs to fart it out.

8:17 pm

Speaking of the list,did anyone notice that Lickety's has an error with the el words?It lists el 4/5 & el 4/4 when there are really 2 el 4/4 words.Is that correct?

8:17 pm

my eyes are brown, and when i get very upset/emotional, they will turn green.

8:17 pm

Hello, I'm back! {{{scrabbler & little oliver}}}

8:18 pm

poor guy! no wonder he was squawking

8:18 pm

Best way to burp a baby IMHO is not to stick it over your shoulder. Hold the baby on a towel on your lap and gently lift the chin up whilst holding the back straight. This tends to bring the wind up without any pressure on the stomach bringing sickness.

8:18 pm

Hi JBsAnno! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

8:18 pm

Are they really really blue now? If so, they usually stay blue. But if they look a little blue/brown/grey, then they are changing.

8:18 pm

Hey, minver! Thanks. Whoo hoo, halfway there!

8:19 pm

So, feather, are your eyes rolling around in your head after your trip thru the spinning door?

8:19 pm

Also, this method of burping a baby can bring the wind out the other way if you gently rock baby backwards and forwards. (Also works for grownups sitting on the loo. LOL)

8:19 pm

Good for you you JBsAnno! Go Go Go!I have 55 to go.

8:19 pm

they look (to me) like they're getting grey now.

8:19 pm

ty, jb

8:19 pm

oh scrabbler, i just scrolled back in chat. are you losing a bunny? the beginning is off screen

8:20 pm

Min - No, because I was 'listless' today.

8:20 pm

i saw the new pics, feather---very cute!

8:20 pm

feather - it's Oliver, the hamster, who's dying.

8:20 pm

Phantom words today are demure, hotel, and runner.

8:20 pm

My old hamster, Oliver, is dying slowly. I have him in my lap.

8:20 pm

ty scrabs

8:20 pm

(((((scrabbler and oliver)))))))

8:20 pm

could i have help with the first be combo?

8:21 pm

be and the farmer in the ***l

8:21 pm

sorry to hear about your hamster scrabbler

8:21 pm

would someone please explain why MOSH is NOT an acceptable word? What do they call the pit at an outdoor concert, huh?

8:21 pm

(think kindergarten song)

8:21 pm

I can see a big liver tumor in him.

8:21 pm

ty

8:21 pm

here's my mart!

8:21 pm

be 5/16 is be plus ***l computer plus the snake letter.

8:22 pm

cliffopa--I was just thinking about you yesterday, and wondering where you (and others) have been.

8:22 pm

JBS - Enable has disabled the mosh pit. We'll keep on trying it though, eh?

8:22 pm

Hi Prince Martin!

8:22 pm

i think he just did a #2...

8:22 pm

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

8:22 pm

Scrabbs - how's Oliver doing now?

8:22 pm

And where did he do it, Hurshy?

8:23 pm

life has been a bit unkind to me and my family lately.

8:23 pm

Oh, NO, cliffopa!! What has happened?

8:23 pm

oh, in the cat genie of course. marty has NEVER gone anywhere he shouldn't.

8:24 pm

mother in law has bladder cancer, brother gone into rehab, my oldest cat had to go to heaven....etc.

8:24 pm

(((Cliffopa))) just read your bio. I'm so sorry, and send you t's and p's and lots of support

8:24 pm

Jac, if not the mosh pit, well, there's always the jacuzzi!

8:24 pm

(((cliffopa)))--I read your profile update. Keep taking care of cats to stay sane. The Mama and kittens are adorable!!!!!

8:24 pm

((((cliff))))

8:25 pm

cliff - ((HUGS))

8:25 pm

Hi lbdawger! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:25 pm

jacula--Oliver is doing some twitching and taking shallow breaths.

8:25 pm

Named after myself of course, JBS!

8:25 pm

ty all. i knew i should have come back here sooner. missed all that support.

8:26 pm

Scrabbs - did you say you saw a liver tumour in him?

8:26 pm

Yes, I can see it and I felt it earlier. Hamsters are tumor factories, that what my vet said, and it is true.

8:27 pm

Cliff---I really did miss you and missed hearing about your cat adventures. Don't leave Babble Land again, pease.

8:28 pm

Sign on door: Jacula Jacuzzi is closed for the evening. Too much sadness to cope with for now.

8:28 pm

thanks scrabbler, that means a lot.

8:28 pm

About another hour and 20 mins to go, I say from experience, Scrabbs. Hamsters and mice are tumour factories, sweetheart. I don't know why they are recommended as pets for children a) since they are up at night and grumpy if woken in the day b) since they are quite fragile and c) since they die young

8:28 pm

{{{cliffopa}}}

8:28 pm

JBs - that's okay.

8:28 pm

I agree, Jacula, and cringe whenever a child tells me they have a hamster.

8:29 pm

Sorry, JBs.. but I'm sitting here in support of Scrabbs 'cos I know what's happening and I want to help.

8:29 pm

jac... i think it's because you have to get used to death in stages... i mean if you can. and the longer you have to get attached, the harder a death is.

8:30 pm

you've got that right hurshy

8:30 pm

hursh - you may be right... that's the next stage of the discussion I intended to go to.

8:30 pm

To everything there is a time and a season. A time to weep, and a time to laugh

8:31 pm

i'm overdue for some laughter. where's evanonut anyway?

8:31 pm

With hamsters, I know they don't last too long, but with other pets, they are our children!

8:31 pm

Mind you, the death of a parent... how long does that take to get used to? I still think of my Dad every day and sometimes I still weep over him.

8:31 pm

cliff, you should listen to babblecast. that will have you howling!

8:32 pm

Scrabbs - cats, dogs, horses.... all long lived, all too much an integral part of our lives.... not easily gotten over.

8:32 pm

what is babblecast?

8:32 pm

what is en6/24?

8:32 pm

http://babblecast.podbean.com/ here's the link

8:32 pm

Nut was here earlier, cliff.

8:32 pm

Yes, we have to dirent cliffopa to babblecast!! http://babblecast.podbean.com/

8:32 pm

Oh, Jac, I'm glad you're there, just for me following the chat and seeing the support, it's wonderful and healing even older wounds.

8:32 pm

i'm here but 1 handed again, poor nick is very uncomfortable right now. will chime in later. thoughts are with you both cliff and scrabs.

8:32 pm

en6/24 - tangle up in a net.

8:33 pm

Cliffopa--Nut began doing podcasts about 2 mo ago!!!

8:33 pm

ty

8:33 pm

Feather - take my advice re winding him.

8:33 pm

Hope it works out. xxx

8:33 pm

on belly over legs, side to side?

8:34 pm

forgot you had said that

8:34 pm

There are 2 ways to read "winding" and one way is funny to think about.

8:34 pm

Jac, I am still chuckling about the earlier loo comment...

8:34 pm

ar6 please?

8:34 pm

*echoes Scrabbler* yes, please? ar6

8:35 pm

The ar 6/24 word is ar plus an mu 4/6 word Scrabbler

8:35 pm

I'll BRB--I have to wash my face and wake up a bit.

8:35 pm

Got it--TY. BRB

8:36 pm

it may not be getting the farts out, but it is putting him to sleep, which is just as good

8:36 pm

TY, Minver - got it!

8:36 pm

yw

8:37 pm

Hopes Oliver, whilst put down gently, DO THAT SCRABBS, don't take him to bathroom with you... lets go.

8:37 pm

Point him the other way, just in case, okay, Feather?

8:38 pm

feather - he'll fart in a moment.

8:38 pm

I'm out of air freshener!

8:38 pm

lol jbs

8:39 pm

just open a window JB, he's just a baby so it wont stink too bad

8:39 pm

I laid him down gently, Jac, and he is here.

omg what have i walked into?

8:39 pm

he's nothing compared to his big brother. whew.

8:39 pm

Quick, TO, light a match!

8:39 pm

uh oh he's waking up and squirming more

8:39 pm

A dying hamster and a gassy, farting newborn.

8:39 pm

baby farts and sad hamsters

8:40 pm

Well, TO, you'll definitely need a hankie...

uh oh...........

8:40 pm

better than the earlier convo, right jac? lol

8:41 pm

What happened earlier?

8:41 pm

hi people!

8:41 pm

customer service rant coming in 5 seconds.

8:41 pm

what time was that all at? 4:30ish chat time? huge talk about nipples

8:41 pm

Look out, FM, the chat is emotional tonight!

8:41 pm

Uh, oh, Fran

8:42 pm

plumber finally showed up over 2 hours late!!

8:42 pm

LOL, feather!

8:42 pm

ok he's squirming too much, gotta pick him up, afraid he'll squirm off my legs! will be watching chat but not typing.

8:42 pm

they wouldn't give me an estimate over the phone, they said they had to see the situation, although they advertised that they use flat rates.

8:42 pm

Did you tell him where to put the plunger, Fran?

8:43 pm

My boss told me that the other night that the Comcast guys showed up at 8pm to fix the phone/cable/internet connection - they were there til midnight to fix it!

8:43 pm

anyway, the guy finally shows up to assess the situation. i told him if it cost too much i would have to wait until payday.

8:43 pm

Feather - lay him gently face down on a towel across you lap now and (gently) massage his lower back then sit him up again gently (after about 30 seconds of the former) and rock him gently back and forth again.

hi and hugs

8:44 pm

he said kitchen sinks are $162.. i said i would have to wait because that was more than we were prepared to spend.

8:44 pm

Does that work with a squirmer, Jac?

8:44 pm

Oh, dear, JB, although maybe the evening is more convenient instead of missing work.

8:44 pm

{{{herin!!!}}}

8:44 pm

rocking now anyway jac

8:44 pm

he says...did they explain our diagnostic fee to you?

8:44 pm

Tell him you don't want a NEW sink, man!

8:44 pm

If that doesn't work... gently circle is tummy in a massaging movement anticlockwise for about 6 times.

8:44 pm

i said, no, that was not mentioned, all the guy said was you have to come out and look at it.

Feather do you have a gassy kid?

8:45 pm

"diagnostic fee", huh?

Scrabbler im sorry about the hammie

8:45 pm

so that guy leaves and i guess calls his boss when he gets into his car.

8:45 pm

and did you tell him you had a loaded gun?

du6/24 please?

8:45 pm

feather - noo such thing as squirming too much! Calm him down and show him who's boss! LOL

8:45 pm

Maybe he's just ticklish, Jac!

8:46 pm

re 6/30, please

9:04 pm

ah. yeah, that's pretty "aged" for a hamster. time to put him down?

9:57 pm

i'll be here to give you a big virtual hug jac! :-)

9:58 pm

Have been talking to my own Mum a\bout this... I know understand why SHE went to 'weird' after my marriage.

9:58 pm

Thanks, Fran. I will need it.

10:00 pm

night all. see you tomorrow

10:00 pm

We are all quite cruel to our mothers, believing they will always be there, aren't we?

10:00 pm

night dawg!

10:00 pm

nigh dawg :)

10:00 pm

'Nigh lbd.

night dawg

10:03 pm

One day our mothers will die, and then we will long for that insistent tone on the phone, that, 'Just couldn't be anything than our mother' to be her. We get off the phone as fast as we can whjen she's whittering on to us... but we love our Mums..

10:04 pm

of course we do jac.

10:04 pm

Unfortunately... 2007 hasn't brought the technology to bring the dead back.

10:05 pm

My Mum, Fran, will outlive me. She's determined to 'cos I smoke and she doesn't.

10:05 pm

how old is she jac?

10:06 pm

73, Fran and younger than me

10:07 pm

if she's that determined she might do it jac. :-)

10:09 pm

I have no doubt she will do it, Fran. Females on the maternal side of family don't tend to drop off the mortal coil abefore about 93.

10:09 pm

hey jac, what did you make of britney spears at the MTV awards?

10:10 pm

jac made out with britney spears at the MTV awards?

10:11 pm

MrP - don't watch those sort of progs but saw the newspaper about her being flabby and unsure. I would think, from that, that her PR company has pushed her into an appearance before she iss ready.

10:11 pm

dan, wrong blond. :-)

10:11 pm

ahh

10:12 pm

mrp, i read today that someone had selected a flattering corset outfit for her and she chose to go with the bikini instead.

10:12 pm

Fran - don't talk to me about blondes. Had a hell of a shock at my best friend's wedding a bout 3 weeks ago when she walked into registry office and I wondered who the heck the blonde was.

10:13 pm

so she wasn't blond before?

10:13 pm

Me and my best mate are brunettes. We've never been 'dumb blondes'. LOL

10:13 pm

also, she pissed off the hairdresser that was supposed to do her extensions and that's why her hair looked so awful.

10:14 pm

Fran - blond = male fair. Blonde = female fair.

10:14 pm

Sorry!

10:14 pm

so sorry jac, in your pictures your hair is on the lighter side.

10:15 pm

sorry, that 10:13 comment was about britney, not jac's best mate. :-)

10:15 pm

Fran - that's sexy silver, not blonde! LOL

10:16 pm

LOL, pardon moi. :-)

10:16 pm

whee fireworks! Ludlum hero Jason was my last

10:16 pm

yay dan!!!!

10:16 pm

who knew he was a word too, eh?

10:17 pm

yeah sneaky

10:18 pm

If my daughter was around more often, I'd still be a brunette! Which reminds me.. she still has one task to do for me before she leaves for Uni/// dying my hair.... Other Half must watch and learn... I can dye hair but I can't dye my own without flecking specks of colour everywhere.

10:19 pm

The carpets really can't take it. LOL

10:22 pm

my husband's nephew does his mother's and girlfriends' hair, i'm sure your man will have no trouble.

10:22 pm

okay, if no one needs clues now, I'll be off soon.

10:23 pm

this particular nephew is definitely masculine too.

10:23 pm

just have lots of latex gloves on hand. :-)

10:23 pm

A male, young one, ex-boyfriend of hers brother, does my daughter's hair, Fran.

10:25 pm

evening all

10:25 pm

just emphasize how much money you'll be saving.

10:25 pm

10:26 pm

10:32 pm

Sgteven Birkla, aka Mtnjock. Remember him!

10:32 pm

interesting, we know each other pretty well, i think, but unless we know someone else on here personally to let everyone else know, no one will ever find out whats happened to someone if they just suddenly quit playing

10:33 pm

i know hk, everyone's worried about ADHDwordlover right now, she hasn't been on for a while.

10:35 pm

i hope she's ok

10:35 pm

10:45 pm

10:45 pm

sleep sweet, helen

10:45 pm

bye bye, hk--take care.

10:45 pm

it's an acronym about my ex... better than getting a tattoo

10:45 pm

i needed a way to get myself over her

10:45 pm

it's not worked

10:46 pm

but i do love me some taly :)

10:46 pm

we got a baby pomeranian just recently, her name is gilly -which is short for gilda, gilda radner

10:46 pm

ah, I see!

10:46 pm

i kinda wish it were spelled tali though so i wouldn't have to pronounce it all the time

10:46 pm

aww... gilly is an adorable name for a pom

10:46 pm

I loved gilda radner.

10:47 pm

i hope she's potty training better than taly is :)

10:47 pm

yes, i loved gilda radner too, however, her autobiography was very sad

10:47 pm

yeah it was...

10:48 pm

I know she battled the cancer and lost but was her growing up years difficult?

10:48 pm

tragic - no way, this is my 3rd pom & i've never had any luck in that department, although this one is using the pee-pee pads, yay! now our rescue mutt, trained in 3 days at 10 weeks old - he's brilliant

10:48 pm

and that's why i don't bring home puppies ;)

10:48 pm

nonnie - she was looking for love in all the wrong places - i think that sums it up very well - that was the basis of her comedy

10:48 pm

well, luckily taly has a different name than her namesake, cause her namesakes miserable

10:49 pm

i feel like all comedians have roughness somewhere

10:49 pm

there's a lot of tragedy behind real comedy

10:49 pm

methinks you're right jes

10:49 pm

probably so, stud

10:50 pm

anyway, i'm outta here now, good nite everyone :)

10:50 pm

g'night

10:50 pm

nighty night, hk

10:50 pm

10:50 pm

10:51 pm

cocoa helps that, stud.

10:51 pm

sorry to hear that

10:51 pm

the music thing is amazing though- the one that's on our accounts

10:51 pm

yeah yes, agreed, but i think i'm in a pissed that no one is here to make it for me type of mood

10:51 pm

i'm hosting a pity party for myself this eve :)

10:51 pm

heh. well, if you show up before i go to bed, i'll make you a mug of cocoa.

10:52 pm

and let you pet the kitties and the hound-dog ears. good fuzz-therapy in hound-dog-ears.

10:52 pm

i'm back

10:52 pm

10:52 pm

thanks - i don't know how to get to the middle of nowhere sadly, but i very much appreciate the offer :)

10:53 pm

welcome back, fran

10:55 pm

i think i have a problematically depressing playlist going though :)

10:55 pm

heh. drive north and west and keep going until you're definitely lost, then start knocking on doors ;)

10:56 pm

you have no idea how much i'd do that if i didn't have to work

10:56 pm

thanks nonnie!

10:56 pm

hmm. actually, from where you are, don't go much north--i'm not quite in canada

10:57 pm

jack russells can open zippers

10:57 pm

if anyone was curious

10:57 pm

smart dogs!

10:58 pm

there's no hiding anything in a duffel in this room anymore

10:58 pm

this does not surprise me. but i've had an escalating war of fence-building vs. escapism with my hound for the last 7 years...

10:58 pm

also not surprising

10:59 pm

true. but i've gotten much better at building fences ;)

10:59 pm

maybe he'll help me find you when i get close to ya

10:59 pm

Our golden climbed the fence to escape. We'd get a call from the little elderly woman who lived next door; "Your red dog is climbing over the fence again!"

11:00 pm

:)

11:00 pm

i enjoy a story with descriptives

11:01 pm

i don't have enough candy for my pity party

11:01 pm

i wish i had some chocolate up in this place

11:01 pm

heh. rally climbs very well. but >I< can pay a power bill, so there is hot wire at the top of the fence ;)

11:02 pm

hmm. well, would long-winded stories of the torment my clients put me through make you feel better, or at least distract you?

11:02 pm

lol... if it doesn't at all remind me of the torment of my clients :)

11:03 pm

well, i don't know what your clients do. but i rant about mine at draggonlaady.livejournal.com

11:03 pm

just posted a particularly long and rambling one tonight.

11:04 pm

the birds! i remember the birds now

11:05 pm

oh no. did i set off a flashback?

11:05 pm

it's within the realm of possibility that i might need to sleep...

11:05 pm

lol

11:05 pm

no

11:05 pm

i'm ok with birds

11:05 pm

i think i've been to your journal before :)

11:05 pm

11:08 pm

11:09 pm
