1:37 am

well no not here ....we've had heavy duty summer weather here already

ok, I have a kitty looking at me to be feed

1:40 am

bfn herin

not going yet what is this push me out the door day

1:41 am

LOL herin

1:41 am

it is sometimes not easy to tell if you are announcing your leaving or just making smalltalk, lady

1:41 am

hi ruru :)

1:42 am

hi sprite

the cat wants to be feed as she is on a diet as shes getting fat

1:42 am

I am considering getting a puppy nowtoo sprite

RU i thought you had one

1:43 am

take the cat to the gym with you herin.. that will take care of kitty-pudge

1:43 am

No herin I have an older dog and we have an 8 year old....

No. She will eat people. I do need to get a harness for her for walking in the yard

OK Ru.

1:44 am

oh ruru, that is great! What kind? Or a rescue?

1:44 am

how big a cat are we talking about here herin?

1:44 am

about waist height, ruru :)

1:45 am

I was thinking of raising a guide dog puppy in the hopes it will become a guide

House cat. She doesn't like people

1:45 am

oh that is so wonderful. Lots of work, but great!

Thats a brilliant idea Ru

1:46 am

we are connected to Guide DOgs for the Blind and support their cause

1:47 am

have you been involved in training them before, ruru?

1:47 am

I am going to scream.. keep losing my connection... Ugh!

The puppies are cute

1:48 am

poor mom2 :( Want me to kick your server into better behaviour?

1:48 am

hello everyone.

Hi lynxx

1:48 am

hi lynxxx :)

1:48 am

hi lynxxxx!

1:48 am

no but we have trained and competed in obedience so I know my way around dogs.. it may not be the same thing with a guide dog. I would have to take classes and training to do it.. I think it would be worthwhile and fun too

1:49 am

Do you have that power sprite? I could use some superpowers lately with all going awry in my life, LOL!

1:49 am

phantom.. nascent..

1:49 am

......and I would have a puppy

1:49 am

absolutely, ruru. It would be tough though to give up the puppy when it is fully trained...

1:49 am

sounds good ru but you'd prob get so attached to it and not want to give it up

1:49 am

20 words left.

1:49 am

hello all

1:49 am

dais

1:50 am

1:56 am

lol ruru

1:56 am

I come here to make words and to vent... they are kicking my MIL out of the nursing home next week.. after her tragic accident and amputation... We now have to pay $325 out of pocket to put her in another place, as they all agree she cannot be rehabbed at home, but Medicare will NOT pay... don't you just love it????

1:56 am

yes I know thx sprite

1:57 am

that is ridiculous, mom2 :(

1:57 am

yw jilli

1:57 am

that's rotten, mom2!

1:57 am

hiccup time coming up

1:57 am

You have no idea... American health care at its best.. but let's not elect Hillary... UGH!

1:57 am

Hillary is the health care maven... LOL!

1:58 am

faraway sun, eh...stumped there

1:58 am

ohhh

1:58 am

how do they expect you to manage... crazy health care you have. And we are heading the same way over here.

1:58 am

Luckily I have a relationship with a senator (not sexual) who is going to do his best to help, but, what about the poor souls who have no connection ??? Also, lucky that we have the $$$ to fund this rehab!

1:58 am

1Mar: look at the sky at night. What do you see?

1:58 am

saw that too but didn't try...how silly

1:59 am

Where is over here, sprite... not good at flags.. sorry!

1:59 am

France??

1:59 am

I see the red, white and blue.

1:59 am

mouse over will tell you, mom2, lol. The Netherlands.

1:59 am

Oh, thanks for the tip... LOL!

2:00 am

France is same colours, but a 1/4 rotation of the flag :)

2:00 am

mom2, if you click on the icons you will find out lots!

2:00 am

Yeah... it's just craziness.

2:01 am

sprite, mouse over doesn't work for me, using firefox and Expert.

2:01 am

So we are talking almost 10,000 a month for 2 months of care... right down the street from my house, Thank God... but, still. Wouldn't it be better to have her rehabbed here at my house and pay for the necessary outpatient services through insurance????

2:01 am

and the hiccup came...

2:01 am

yw :D

2:01 am

So we are talking almost 10,000 a month for 2 months of care... right down the street from my house, Thank God... but, still.

2:02 am

absolutely, mom2.

2:02 am

jilli: not even when you click somewhere on the site first to leave the Word Add box?

2:02 am

silliness personified.. it is just insane... and so damn stressful!!!!

2:03 am

oh yes, sprite! Hadn't thought of that! Thanks

3:22 am

well possibly the last da4.5 anyway

3:22 am

Hello - just thought I'd say good morning/evening.

3:22 am

hello Haz

hi haz

3:23 am

hi haz :D check out my flickr for cocker amusement

3:23 am

Is this grid making fewer people compain than yesterday's?

3:24 am

it is about the same Haz

3:24 am

a few

I liked yesterday's better than today's, but I think I am in the minority.

3:24 am

me too Volley

3:25 am

did you get my clue for the da4.5 Volley - not sure if last

3:25 am

I quite liked yesterday's but most people seemed to loathe it. Ata, I love the photo of Hobbit in motion, the equivalant of rounding a corner on two wheels.

aww ty lynxxx

yes, ty got the word... went totally blank at first LOL

3:26 am

I realise now why she doesn't catch much. Its because she has her eyes shut half the time when running!

3:27 am

It's her special technique. She thinks if she can't see the prey, the prey can't see her.

3:28 am

it must be, I think!

finally.... fireworks

3:30 am

Congratulations Volley.

ty... may I help anyone before I poof?

3:30 am

oh dear. more paws on the knees, big eyes and tail wiggles

going.... going..... gone! hagd/eve all... hugs & see you at the flip

3:31 am

Congrats Volley!

ty lynxx hugs & ty for help!!!

3:31 am

Does Hobbit do the pawing of the knee? Spangle has started to reach out and paw your leg if you dare to stop stroking her.

*poof*

3:32 am

Ata - is the Maya cat one of yours? its beauuutifulll

3:32 am

oh yes. she's obviously learned psychically from Hobbit

3:33 am

the Maya cat?

3:33 am

I find it quite endearing, I must admit, also the head plonked in your lap, eyes gazing upward, is an oft-used technique.

3:33 am

in your photo's Ata

3:33 am

Hi all, this is my first attempt at Babble. It's hard!

3:33 am

the nekkid one

3:34 am

Hi JensMum, welcome, this is a toughie

3:34 am

Hello JensMum. It's a great game and you get better with practice.

3:34 am

um. I only have one cat, silverclaw, she's the tiny tabby thing that is in 99% of my photos :D

3:35 am

oh yes, hobbit does that too. at the moment, I am getting huge eyes from the hallway

Welcome JensMum - I've only been on here for a month and it does get easier, believe me! :)

3:35 am

Can you guys actually get all these words???

3:35 am

Weird - in the category 'favorites' all these photos of a hairless cat came up...I'll see if I can do it again

3:36 am

I can believe it does get easier. It took me a while to figure out sudoku but now I love that.

3:36 am

oh! duh. sorry. I know what you mean.

3:36 am

no, she's not mine. I wish she was though!

3:36 am

Yes, but bear in mind that lots of them are unusual. We do use helps (some of us anyway) to find them all.

3:38 am

And, JensMum, not everyone needs or wants to get all the words - just carry on for as long as you're enjoying it.

3:39 am

Mmm, yes. I think I've nearly reached my limit!

3:40 am

You'll hear people talking about 'The List'. It gives the first two letters and points values of all the words. You can access it through Friends of Babble, bottom left, Lickety's Babble clues. Other online resources include the wonderful www.morewords.com.

3:41 am

And of course, people give clues for particular words.

3:42 am

curly letter + hook letter + ....

3:42 am

Don't listen to Ata. They're not clues, they're abominations.

3:42 am

..are verbotin!

3:43 am

lol

3:43 am

I hereby declare 'The Old Fogeys CLub' open.

3:43 am

"Say NO to curly letters!"

3:44 am

Don't get hooked on hooks!

3:44 am

It's not that we have strong feelings about anything, you understand.

3:45 am

but even worse is the 17th letter etc - !

3:45 am

oh gosh, yes

3:45 am

We've not got people counting them out now?

3:45 am

just write the word, dammit. its much less condescending

3:45 am

yep!

3:45 am

occasionally

3:45 am

oh lord, you've totally lost me.

3:45 am

lol

3:46 am

Sorry, JensMum. We ra4/4 a bit when we get the chance.

3:47 am

no worries. I keep seeing what I think are gonna be words ... but, no.

3:47 am

lol you'll understand soon enough, jens :D

3:48 am

Either I'm having deja vu or some of these words were in yesterday's grid/or the day before.

3:49 am

some were

3:50 am

So I can stop worrying about having been transported to a parallel universe, endlessly to find the same words?

3:50 am

ok, I must go and walk the monster mutt. back later!

3:50 am

See you later, Atalante.

3:51 am

bye Ata - enjoy

3:54 am

wahoo! made it to 50 words :-)

3:54 am

***shuffles in and flops on couch in back of the grid, trying to wake up***

3:55 am

Good morning Lori. We've caught a new babbler. Well done, JensMum!

3:55 am

My brain hurts :-)

3:55 am

harm

3:55 am

MORNING LORI !!!!

3:56 am

Oops! Sorry! Can't believe I a) just typed that here and b) just figured it out!

3:56 am

Yea for Jen! G'd morning Haz, lynx. How are these little yellow things today?

3:56 am

as cute as yesterday Lori

3:57 am

I've done okay so far, Lori, slowing down a bit.

3:57 am

Jen - it's a design problem with the site, you have to remember to move the cursor back to Add Word after using the chat log. Most people do it at some stage.

3:58 am

Prob'ally won't start until after I get the spawnlings to school

3:58 am

You're just going to spy out the land instead?

3:59 am

This insomnia is chipping away at what's left of my sanity. Jen, we've all done it about a katrillion, zillion times..........

3:59 am

How long has the insomnia been going on for?

gppd morning. Lorip, I have been having insomnia too...

4:00 am

Hi Red!

4:00 am

lol Haz, no silly, silent observation. G'd morning red, long time no see.

4:00 am

Good morning red.

Yes, been busy. hi Haz...Lynxx!

4:00 am

SIlent observation is to be recommended at times.

4:01 am

'Bout 2 months or so. It will pass.

4:01 am

I hope so. It's not pleasant.

4:02 am

Yes, there are daily opportunities available to acquire the skill of knowing when not to talk.

LOL Lori.

4:03 am

You could do training. Conduct seminars. A diploma in silent observation sounds just the thing.

4:06 am

Endless potential. 1-800 numbers, personal coaches. Infomercials!

no info mercials,please!

4:07 am

Aww, I LOVE infomercials. They are so entertaining

4:07 am

I see a whole new career opening up for you.

4:08 am

a round 50 left for the morning, goodnite all

4:08 am

Nice job Lynx. Sleep tight!

4:08 am

Good night lynxxx, sleep well.

4:08 am

wow, well done!

Another one bites the dust! Fireworks!! :)

Night lyn

4:09 am

Congratulations Lorrie.

4:09 am

Congrats Lorrie!

Thanks Lori - I enjoyed that one!

4:09 am

Haz, consumers love acronyms.I'll call it KWNT, Knowing When Not to Talk!

Thanks Haz

Bye everyone - have fun with the grid and see you tomorrow... :)

4:10 am

You'd better get that name copyrighted. You never know who's silently obsrving, ready to snatch all the good ideas.

4:11 am

See you Lorrie.

4:13 am

Later Lorrie, have a good one!

4:16 am

heh, must be waking up, greyed out the 'l' big un, and all.

go loriP go...

4:18 am

**Also, please note my use of KWNT, as a full 3 minutes passed between posts before morew mindless prattle.***

4:18 am

You're an example to us all.

4:18 am

lol red, a mere 160 words left to go....... :D

I have 4 gray boxes, all in te bottom row...

4:19 am

hi everyone

4:19 am

G'd morning Ishult :-) @ red

4:20 am

Good morning Ishult.

4:20 am

99 words down, but not one biggrer than 5 letters.....why do I put myself thro this every day???!!!

4:20 am

Because you love it.

4:21 am

I guess so xxx

4:21 am

I'm giving myself another 10 minutes :-)

4:22 am

time for lunch...later

4:22 am

It's the addictive element Ishult. Surely it's not our fault, a force beyond the control of us all. :-)

4:22 am

You're right, JensMum, sometimes you need to back away for a while. You may see more later.

4:22 am

Bye Ishult.

4:22 am

Later Ishult.

4:23 am

I could have *sworn* I saw "sadistic" and "satanic" in there. Mm hmm.

4:24 am

They're known as phantoms, JensMum, words that seem to be there but are not.

4:24 am

***she'll make a fine new addition to our addiction family***

I am not addicted, I can stop at any time!!! WHich is proved by my dismal stats...

guys i am so so sleepy today I hope work will be not so hectic...

4:26 am

I know. But don't keep mentioning the addiction word, Lori, it may frighten. Mild attachment, gentle enthusiasm, game of choice.

4:28 am

Essential, if only done daily?

4:28 am

oh red, all I can do is commiserate. Insomnia sucks. Hopefully the day will be kind to ya'.

I guess I should not have napped yesterday afternoon, but I was so tired then...

But now, I could go to sleep and I have to go to work... :(

well, 12 hours from now I will ack, still be at work!!!

OK, going to finish getting ready now....Bye all, see you later.

4:33 am

OK, made it to 60 words. Will get some sleep and have another look in the morning. Good night all!

4:34 am

Bye red.

4:34 am

Good night JensMum.

4:34 am

Have a good one red! Sleep tight Jens. Nice job.

4:43 am

42 c words that seems a tad excessive.

4:43 am

Good morning. c words were cheap.

4:44 am

Morning Haz, you haven't seen summer have you? Someone seems to have purloined it.

4:44 am

It's quite nice here today - it rained heavily yesterday, though.

4:44 am

G'd morning FM!

4:44 am

Does this mean Soggy Summer Fashions at Ascot?

4:45 am

Hello Lori! There will be people wishing they had substantial undergamenture on as it is v cold (not wet yet).

4:46 am

Ooh, is this "hideous dresses and hats I shouldn't be wearing week?"

4:46 am

Yup and tomorrow is Ladys Day!

4:47 am

This is a high class version, Lori. Slightly more up-market than Aintree,though no doubt some horrors will be seen. We'll keep you posted.

4:47 am

Oooh, ahhhh, I eagerly await the pictures.

4:48 am

I've never really recovered from the Aintree moment. I now feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.....

4:48 am

Aparently there are efforts being made this year to drag the dress code back to include a little modesty. e.g. knickers must be worn but not seen. Sigh.

4:48 am

It was something else. Days when I look in the mirror and feel downhearted are instantly lifted when I remind myself of the Aintree ladies.

4:49 am

The regulations are for the Royal Enclosure, though. Outside it's a free for all again.

4:49 am

It was good for the self esteem, wasn't it?

4:49 am

It makes you feel like a fashion plate.

4:50 am

I will have to take my camera with me incase I spot a photo opportunity

4:50 am

We have a programme on here 'Look 10 years younger' or something - my jaw hits the ground quite frequently.

4:50 am

Please do FM.

4:50 am

Oh do, FMitch. You can be our reporter on the ground.

4:51 am

Hello :D

4:51 am

An inside source is vital.

4:51 am

G'd morning Liz!

4:51 am

Good morning Liz. What's the fashion choice on Sark today?

4:51 am

Morning Liz :)

4:51 am

the fashion choice? Is there such a thing here?

4:52 am

pink trainers and diamante leggins perhaps?

4:52 am

There's bound to be. What the Women Of Sark Are Wearing.

4:52 am

um not far off with the pink trainers...I have a pair of very bright pink crocs on my feet right now

4:53 am

*fiddles with the focus on my zoom lens* Ah yes I see them now.

4:53 am

lol

4:54 am

I have on a blue tshirt and denim 3/4 trousers

4:54 am

Im in sweatshirt, jeans and boots and Im COLD :(

4:54 am

oh and a blue weird fish cardigan

4:54 am

***sigh*** Time to wake the spawnlings, shuflle them out the door. Back in a bit

4:54 am

bye Lori :)

4:54 am

See you Lori.

4:55 am

Bye Lori

4:55 am

Is the cardigan itself weird, or is the fish thereon the strange thing?

4:55 am

I dont suppose Atalante is in here still is she?

4:55 am

LOL Haz - have you not seen Weird Fish clothing before then?

4:55 am

No, she's gone off dog walking.

4:56 am

No! Is it a brand name?

4:56 am

Weird fish clothing sounds somewhat appropriate for Babble

4:56 am

http://www.weirdfish.co.uk/

4:57 am

You learn something new every day.

4:57 am

LOL we are not so behind the times on my little feudal island lol

4:58 am

oh she's Hobbit walking is she? She asked me to put Oscar on flickr and I have just done it for her

4:58 am

We'll let her know when she comes back.

4:59 am

:D

4:59 am

Disciplined head on this morning so I must be off. HAve a good day and might see you later.

5:00 am

aw must you FM?

5:00 am

Morning all.

5:00 am

I hate that disciplined head. Still, you're not The Administrator for nothing.

5:00 am

hi Jac

5:00 am

Good morning Jacula!

5:01 am

Hello Jacs and bye. I hate my discipline sometimes.

5:01 am

oh god my father in law is here

5:01 am

Hi and 'bye, FM.

5:02 am

But at least you're dressed, Liz.

5:02 am

Your father-in-law is a god, Liz??

5:03 am

BRB - cat wants feeding.

5:05 am

Life is just too demanding. Work, children, deified fathers-in-law, cats, dogs.

5:07 am

Not forgetting the ironing, Haz. I have a large pile of that after our week's holiday. Did the Download washing separately (see pic). LOL

5:09 am

Well, at least she came home. Last time I heard, you were slightly worried that she was overdue.

Hi. Jac did your daughter reappear with a good explanation?

5:10 am

Hi Herin.

5:10 am

I'm back he's gone...and no he isn't a God he's a pain in the ****

5:10 am

oh and Haz - I hope I am dressed I'm at work!

5:10 am

Well, the festival was for all of Sunday, too. They all just decided to sleep that night and come back in the morning. Sensible.

5:11 am

Liz - LOL.

5:11 am

Ah, the bookshop. Hope that's going well for you. Anyway, I'd better go. Back later, bye for now.

5:11 am

*sneaking off to have a read of Jac's blog*

5:11 am

TTFN, Haz.

Hi Liz. Ok Jac. I am surprised you didn't check the festival site.

5:12 am

it is thanks Haz - see you later I hope

5:12 am

hi Herin

5:12 am

Liz - I've had to make the blog invitation only for now. AAnyone who wants an invitation, just ask.

5:12 am

Herin - I did. No webcam this year.

5:12 am

oh rats I do not have permission to read Jacs blog :(

Yes please Jac

5:14 am

Liz - I'll see if I can invite you through your blog. You won't want to put your e-mail addy on here.

5:15 am

I'm not sure how it works - I think you need a Google account. Hydra's invitation worked so, hopefully others will.

5:15 am

If you look at my profile on my blog my email add should be on there

I have a google account jac. You can message me at facebook if you wish.

5:17 am

Okay Liz & Herin - I'll go and do the invitations. Must do one for Sprite, too. BBS.

5:17 am

Sorry to be a pain with the invite only thing!

5:18 am

aw sorry didn't mean to drag you away from the grid - but thank you )

Thanks Jac

How are you Liz?

5:26 am

I'm back. Invitations are se4/4.

5:27 am

Liz - I see you have that bubbles game on your blog. Oh heck! I'll be playing the wretched thing again. LOL

Thanks Jac i was just purging my lj

5:28 am

5:28 am

G'd morning again. ***sent the canary down the mine, and it lived, so back I go!***

5:28 am

am I to expect something in the mail jacs?

5:28 am

I'm not sure what purging an lj is but it sounds painful.

Hi Carlee. I just had do delet people on lj

5:28 am

Hi carlee.

5:29 am

Hi Lori.

5:29 am

ok..i've been dissed

Thanks Jac it worked.

5:29 am

5:29 am

Jac - bubbles is sooo annoying isn't it lol

5:29 am

Just deleted someone that i thought cared on lj

5:29 am

5:29 am

'Tis Liz! LOL

5:30 am

carlee - did you want an invitation to my blog? (Just saw your posting.)

5:30 am

its so pointless Jac!

5:31 am

5:31 am

Liz - I suppose most games are poinless really. Fun though.

5:31 am

Not Babble! I learn something new every day - like todays M word lo

5:31 am

*lol*

Jac did you hose off your daughter

5:33 am

*Looks for M word, which she hadn't spotted up until now.*

5:33 am

Got it.

5:33 am

ugh..phantom..cathode.. i usually manage to avoid...phantoms

5:33 am

Herin - she had a bowl of tomato soup and then got in the shower.

5:34 am

oh Jac ! I love that John Masefield poem!

I would have hosed her off first. ewww groty monkey

5:34 am

Liz - can you see the photo of me by the sea at the top of that blog post? Hydra says she only has a white square there.

5:35 am

I can see the pic.

5:35 am

I can see you

5:35 am

Hmm, thanks Liz. I wonder why Hydra can't?

5:36 am

some setting on her pc maybe?

5:36 am

Maybe.

5:36 am

I have a link to my blog on facebook - hmm - am thinking maybe I should remove it now!

damn it facebook is being a pest

5:37 am

She can see all the other pics. Very strange.

bugs me that i had everything set up and now its all changed

5:38 am

back for another 10 mins before carrying on with work :-)

Hi Katie

5:38 am

Liz - I only did it because, after I'd talked about the death of one of daughter's friends, mentioning his full name, someone from his circle of friends found my blog on the internet and posted a link in the 'In Memory' group. I wasn't too happy about all daughter's friends reading 'our stuff'. I've asked him to remove the link but not heard back from him yet, hence the invitation only move.

5:39 am

Hi Katie.

5:39 am

OMG! Some people take such liberties

5:40 am

Sadly, I've had to remove the postings about his death. Just to be sure it can't be linked to again.

5:40 am

I don't have links on my facebook and try not to put personal stuff on there because of the ability to search the net and find things

5:40 am

Exacly, Katie.

5:41 am

I am also on facebook in my full name but it is my maiden name as I don't want people from work that I come across looking at it or my friends.

5:42 am

am the same katie

5:42 am

I have been at a public consultation for days now and I really want a divide between my professional and personal life!

5:42 am

Ditto.

5:43 am

The thought of the protest group getting hold of my facebook would be too much to bear!

5:43 am

hmm ... you all make me feel very naive!

5:44 am

the protest group....

5:44 am

did i miss something

5:44 am

Using facebook, is like leaving the front door of your home unlocked......

5:44 am

i have only just joined facebook but to be honest I google people I want to know about so why would other people not!

5:44 am

hi again! Liz, I have links among my blogs and facebook etc. But I don't ever write anything publically that I don't mind the public readin

5:45 am

LOL Lori my front door does not have a lock!!!

5:45 am

wb Ata. Hobbit nice and played out? ***cough***

5:45 am

Ata! I flickr'd Oscar for you

5:45 am

Just work carlee, can sometimes be controvertial. I don't often talk about my specific projects to maintain the split between personal and private, and to be honest I don't know who might be lurking

5:45 am

my house is never locked either

5:46 am

Hi Ata. I've not written anything I don't want people to read but I'm not really happy about daughter's circle of friends reading 'our stuff'. More for her sake really. Why should they be privy to the thoughts of her batty Mum? Just me being silly, really.

5:46 am

oohhhhh *runs to look*

5:46 am

okie kokie katei

5:46 am

Mine is always locked ;-) i have 3 kitties and a hamster to protect :-)

Hey I was geting a jam sandwich.

5:46 am

and yup, one happy, tired, WET hobbit!

5:46 am

katie...sorry typing one handed...and eating oatmeal...

5:46 am

meakes sense, Jac

5:46 am

*passes Hobbit a doggy towel*

5:47 am

Jac, that is really thoughtful of you and as you say it's nice to keep somethings away from her circle of friends

5:47 am

You should be good for a few hours then Ata Hari.....

5:47 am

hmmm food, now looking longingly at the mini bar and the chocolate it contains

5:47 am

Well, 32 to go but the pile of ironing calls. BBL. Happy Babbling.

5:47 am

lol love it "Oscar after his ligament op", "Oscar after his skull op" ...

Mine Facebook and LJ is friends only. I get to 2 degrees of sep before freaks know me. My boys ex has a friend that was one of my friends

5:48 am

I know poor boy - the new pics are the sea ones tho

5:48 am

Later Jacula, happy ironing, whatever that is.

Later Jac.

5:48 am

it just made me giggle :D the sea pics are gorgeous! I love the one of him swimming

5:48 am

byebye jacs

5:49 am

5:49 am

5:49 am

G'd morning bichon. later katie

It's not even breakfast time for me. Have to do "walkies" with Biscuit yet

5:50 am

5:51 am

oo my moon pig cards just arrived

Ata your dog and cat are cute. Is there any puppy pics of hobbit?

5:51 am

cripes its cold here....middle of june and its only 40F outside

5:51 am

Ata I have some better ones somewhere, he loves the sea, but I cant find them at the mo

5:51 am

we didn't have hobbit as a tiny pup, she was 9 months old. but let me put one of those up, she was a skinny leggy thing!

5:52 am

I have over three hundred of Oscar as a pup that his breeder took from the day he was born

Ok. I thought you had her as a pup. Still dang cute

morning babblers

5:53 am

morning nono

5:53 am

G'd morning Nono. You're late! :-)

yes Lori I am!

5:54 am

there, check my flickr, herin. they are tiny sized photos, but cute

now will be rushed to get done before i have to leave

5:55 am

and liz, I put some up of our golden cocker as well

5:56 am

Go Nono go!

SO cute

5:59 am

hobbit really wasn't a very pretty puppy. she was skinny and leggy and so hyperactive it was scary

All legs

OH my i just found him on facebook. Question. Do i poke the hornets nest?

6:00 am

it was so sad when Jakey died, but it transformed Hobbit from a little monster into the lvoely girl she is today.

OH Poor Ata. Jake was a cutie

6:02 am

Jake was a darling, but he was brain damaged and an accident waiting to happen!

Oh poor puppy

6:02 am

:( for Ata Hari

6:03 am

it's not that bad. it was sad, but he would have driven me up the wall eventually. he never got the hang of toilet training, only knew his name on occasions etctc

How did he get brain damage if you don't mind me asking?

6:04 am

hi all, may I have clues for the 10 and 9's please

6:04 am

born with it, poor babe

6:04 am

li combo, what the dentist injects for a filling maybe

6:05 am

G'd morning peri

6:05 am

thanks Lori

6:05 am

hi peri!

OH at least he had love

6:05 am

os 8/9 combo os + ***nscontinental Airlines + a fish famous in Newfoundland

thanks Lori

6:05 am

Ata, it's interesting what you say about Hobbit's transformation. Biscuit was a newer, and more delightful dog after Muffin's sad passing

6:06 am

absolutely. he had a lovely little life! it just wasn't long or very intelligent

6:06 am

ok, have the first part of the os8/9 but not sure about the fish

6:07 am

cheeks and tongues! starts with 3rd letter

How long did you have him Ata?

6:07 am

wormy fish, but delicious.

6:07 am

oh that's interesting, bichon. hobbit really turned into a different dog. I really didn't like her much as a puppy, she was nervy and hyper and Hard Work. About 2 weeks after Jake died, she just seemed to realise she was the only dog now, and didn't need to always be looking around for Jake stealing her toys etc. And immediately she just *settled*

hey & huggggggssssssss y'all

6:08 am

about a year and a half

6:08 am

G'd morning nance

nor. Hugs

is there a icon theme yet today?

hey lori

6:08 am

Hey Nance

hey herin

6:09 am

have one of the 8's now, may I have clues for the others please

6:09 am

Biscuit just was "friendly" or cuddly [like a Bichon is supposed to be". Bichons are also very dominant and both relieved themselves in the house [I had them wearing pads inside]. As soon as Muffin [the alpha dog] passed, Biscuit stopped doing it

6:09 am

Sorry, he wasn't

6:10 am

interesting, isn't it? I think some dogs just must feel happier being the only dog

mmmph

My cat likes being head of the house we just are here slaves

6:11 am

He now has the prime sleeping position, between he two of us

6:11 am

well yes, she's a cat :P

6:11 am

6:21 am

Ata, ca + **ree is a number + c** fish + Mr Gore

6:21 am

hi, all. anyone recall how many points yesterday's grid was? I meant to update the stats page when I finished Babble, but I got distracted. I can't pull it up with the archives, for some reason.

6:21 am

TY Lori!

G'd morning Angel, nope, I don't remember

6:22 am

thanks Lori, missed that clue entirely

angel yesterdays grid was 1460 points

6:23 am

That's because I was under caffeinated peri..... :D

6:23 am

exactly half, bbs

6:24 am

Later peri

6:24 am

under caffeination is dangerous

Angel, did you see my response to yesterdays grid pints?

cheers that would be a help

6:32 am

when I open the Babble archives and click on yesterday's date, the only thing I see is the grid and the chat log. there is no link for the word list...what am I missing?

6:35 am

the "view word list" link isn't there... you're not missing anything...

6:35 am

should be at the top right corner of the grid.

Angel it may take 24hours to appear

i was almost brave enough the other day to look at the rankings but then chickened out - lol

6:38 am

good grief 42 cs? this will take awhile

i know - i just saw that, too.

Cats aren't clean they are covered in cat spit

ut o herin - grid word

6:39 am

6:42 am

any clues for An 8?

i was watching the NatGO channel & found out tiger's tongues are rough to rip the meat of their kill - do you think that applies to our domestic kitties?

off*

i can't type

6:44 am

does to Sily

Cats tongues are rough. I don't know about small furry house variety

to the best of my knowledge, all kitty's tongues are rough

6:44 am

an + **ree is a number + Camb****, the place

my cat hasn't killed stuff other than a roach

thank you lori

lol - i had one that would bring me mice, baby rabbits (awwww) & snakes (ewwwwwwwwww)

his name was charlie. he was siamese & was my best kitty ever

My cat wipes her butt

lol

with what?

6:47 am

charmin?

lol

The bed the floor what ever she feels like

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww lol

As i said she is gross

does she have worms?

6:49 am

just what I was thinking!

6:49 am

26 more c's to go .....sigh

No she doesn't Its her quirk. She is wormed regularly. She doesn't go outside and we don't have contact with outside. ALl shoes off inside

lol sadie

28 c's left for me

lets call the c words "stinkin" - i have 28 stinkin c words left

got the m.......!

okey dokey - good suggestion herin

Put out a call for minions to help. Bbq and refreshments will be served (soft drink)

Its the Aussie way Nance. When moving or painting or doing renos ask for minions with food provided

got the y4

lol & you made me get my dictionary out - didn't know what a minion was

go harry go & hey

whey hey!!

6:57 am

whey?

You didn't know what a minion is. Its a great word. Yah Harry

otherwise I have bow all

blow

only another 130 to go lol

tacs

oopsie

harry bungled

sorry about that

lol

truthfully, i'm worried about our finances. i'm already on disability with my back - i don't know what we will do if he can't work - he can apply for disability, but it takes a while. maybe i need to start looking for a net job to help out.

i worked for 24 years so i make a decent disability wage but still - & no insurance for him unless he gets disability - o no - i'm getting myself all worked up

Dang nance thats not good

i know - please keep us in y'alls prayers. we should find out, i hope, by friday

Done on that wish

cross each bridge as you come to it Nance...

thanks y'all

i know the signs of disk trouble & i haven't told him, but he's having the same trouble i had before my first surgery. i had to have the 2nd because i couldn't walk at all. i won't have another one unless that happens again.

i will harry

eks Nance best wishes

The collection stopped and started a bit - she tries to dictate where we go sometimes but got the message eventually.

10:57 am

How many

10:57 am

How many

10:57 am

can't believe that the last 7 words would give me so much trouble, especially as they're only 4's and 5's

10:57 am

How many A words alltogether?

my friend is having a time with her pup and her old doggie. the vet said it is akin to terrible twos or teen years

10:57 am

16

10:58 am

at least she didn't stop and growl at a cowpat as Hobbit did earlier *facepalm*

10:58 am

thanks pab

10:58 am

Which is worse, TO, the teens or the twos?

10:58 am

yw

10:58 am

the teens haz the teens

10:58 am

Well, Ata, you have to admit that a cowpat makes an extremely suspicious badger.

10:58 am

No, she stopped in wonderment at the recycling lorry thing.

10:58 am

Hello, all.

i wouldn't know. however, i beleive the vet actually said teens, the not listening thing and having to find out for oneslef i suppose

10:59 am

Hello Vicuna.

10:59 am

100 words down... guess its time to crack down on some more work -- i was so motivated by all the cleaning i got done at home yesterday that i decided to work for that same sense of accomplishment here in the office today!

hi, vi!

10:59 am

so far, ive already had a few people ask me how many cups of coffee i had this morning...hah

10:59 am

Wow, EvaN!

10:59 am

and this was a very recalcitrant cowpat. it refused to move when growled at

10:59 am

Hi Vi

10:59 am

How bold it was!

10:59 am

ohhh yes, recycling lorries need to be stared at

10:59 am

At least when it's the twos you can put them into their bedroom and threaten things.

11:00 am

Hello, hello, hello! =D

11:00 am

we have stuff that needs to get done, and the day is going by MUCH faster since im busy!

LOL a fierce protector you have, ata!

11:00 am

wow those os's are something scary

11:00 am

hey Vic

11:00 am

omg 42 c words?!

11:00 am

lol & hey onyx

11:01 am

hy vix

11:01 am

Now who would have been more surprised if the cowpat HAD responded?

11:01 am

hey vic - sory

11:01 am

absolutely, TO!

11:01 am

really? 42 c's? i have 30 and i thought for sue i would be nearing the end

11:01 am

*that* would have been amusing!

11:01 am

hey nance and yes sean 42

11:02 am

anyone have the 10?

11:02 am

Like when our cat taps at a some little thing on the floor. Every once in a while she snags it with a claw and it appears to come at her. Boy, does she jump!

11:02 am

no, its terrible, the c's

11:02 am

what gets me is she ignores the huge great big cows wandering around, and focuses on the pat. silly dog.

11:02 am

2 o's left

11:02 am

loooool poor cat

11:02 am

Very sensible, I'd say.

11:02 am

bichon - li10 - plural drug used by dentists to numb sensation. To li4 add the actor Michael, famous for Alfie and Zulu.

11:02 am

the 10 is the plural of the li9

11:03 am

the 10 is an li

11:03 am

ty very much Haz

11:03 am

well, at least i've got another 6 hours here on a slow day at the office... i'm bound to finish the c's eventually

11:03 am

She's very wise, Ata. Cattle can kill.

11:03 am

You're welcome, BIchon.

11:04 am

Sensible to ignore the cows, I mean. Not sensible to scare oneself with bits of torn paper.

11:04 am

I'm really lucky. She completely ignores cows and sheep. Usually horses too

11:04 am

help! os 7/32

11:04 am

Maybe it's the animals' version of scaring themselves for fun. Like when people watch horror movies.

11:04 am

cats are such comedians

11:05 am

catty adrenaline

11:05 am

Maybe. But I've never really understood that impulse, either! lol

11:05 am

OMG! A bit of PAPER!" *runs*

11:05 am

os7/32 - os, reworking of a three letter rodent, state letters of the sunshine state.

11:05 am

did I tell you about Silverclaw and the spider a few days ago?

11:05 am

Well, if the bit of paper were a tax demand, you'd understand.

11:05 am

No. Tell!

they certainly march to a different drummer - one only they can hear!

11:06 am

sounds like the start of a nice tail atalante

11:06 am

A tail, or a tale, onyx? =D

11:07 am

*giggles muchly* Silverclaw was chasing a spider in the bath. The spider proceeds to run up into the folds of the shower curtain. Sily biffs the shower curtain and spider falls out onto Sily's chest, much to SIly's dismay. She leapt literally about 3 foot in the air, and VANISHED from the bathroom.

11:07 am

lol! Go, spider, go!

11:07 am

she then proceeded to bathe herself for about half an hour to get rid of the indignity

11:07 am

bbl later y'all - have fun

11:08 am

Bye nance.

11:08 am

i think i'd jump a couple of feet if a spider fell on me in the bath

11:08 am

Along came a spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss SIly away!

11:08 am

why ? it is very clean

LOl sooo catlike!

11:08 am

I actually got that haz

11:08 am

so much for having a fierce, spider-killing cat

11:08 am

some predator huh?

bye nance. haz can't get past letter 5 of your clue :/

11:09 am

That's good, lexie.

11:09 am

are the other os's working from the os 7/32?

11:09 am

Well, she would have conquered it for sure, only I think a bit of dust happened to get in her eye at just that moment...

11:09 am

os7/32 - first four letters of flightless bird, a vowel, first letters of the Los Angeles state.

11:09 am

oh yeah. I feel so safe knowing my spiders will be run away from

11:09 am

hey - I broke the lawn mower

11:09 am

yes lex

11:09 am

The other os words begin like the seven then take a fishy turn.

ty haz, we view florida as sunshine state, my bad

11:10 am

haha, haz. a fishy turn

11:11 am

Sorry, what is California then - just for future reference?

11:11 am

the Golden State

offically, the golden state. unofficially, where all the wackos go

11:11 am

mad

11:11 am

Okay - I'll remember from now on.

11:11 am

La La Land?

11:11 am

what is the flightless bird?

they can't go any farther so they just gather there

11:12 am

TO - I was born and almost raised in CO

11:12 am

there or Clearwater

co or ca?

11:12 am

It's a bit like an emu, bichon, its feathers used in millinery (os*****)

11:12 am

can't get the next os = os 8/50

11:12 am

temple are you calling me wacko?

11:12 am

oh duh! ty

11:13 am

os8/50 - first five letters as with os7, then add a fish

11:13 am

CA = LA even

wel onyx - you ARE babbling :D

11:13 am

os8 is like an Aussie fish

11:13 am

Well, I'm off to school to attend the progeny's kindergarten "graduation." I don't know why they need to graduate from each and every grade but... *shrug*... I'm sure it'll be darling.

11:13 am

os9 is the plural, os8/45, structured the same but turns into a trick at the end rather than a fish.

11:13 am

thanks haz

that makes you perfectly normal to us!

11:13 am

Back later. Farewell!

11:13 am

You're welcome, lexie.

11:14 am

11:24 am

I forgot about her.

Not Donald Trump - his hair.

11:24 am

easy to do

11:24 am

first ha 5/12 anyone>

hahahhahahhaha

11:25 am

There was a diagram in the paper of how to achieve the same look. A step by step guide.

11:25 am

Aren't the hairdressers of Britain going to be thrilled to be presented with that little gem of information.

oh bloody heck, teaching new ways to do a combover

11:25 am

1) get a bad toupee 2) plonk on head

11:25 am

ha5/12 - both ha5/12 look like they should be teaming up eventually with Gretel.

11:25 am

the ha 5,12 i have is the plural of the 4,5 before it... h + museum hangings

11:26 am

It's much more complicated. There's bits combed forward, sections combed backwards. You've no idea.

11:26 am

is that when the curator has done a really bad job?

11:26 am

ha5= ha+ three compass directions

11:27 am

Or ha5/12 - first one is Mr Christian Anderson plus a vowel, second is Mr Christian Anderson plus a later vowel.

11:27 am

an sa

11:28 am

well, there's 3 ha 5,12's... is that all?

11:28 am

haz - stuck on opp of young females

11:28 am

There's another plural ha5/12.

12:48 pm

lol

12:48 pm

Vi!!

12:48 pm

how was the graduation?

12:49 pm

laters family

12:49 pm

Yes, Ata, it's your long-lost cousin Vi!

12:49 pm

LOL! I didn't think you knew...wasn't sure if aryn would say anything

12:49 pm

how many do you have, phae?

12:49 pm

BYE Elle!

12:49 pm

how come 'cans' isn't a word?

12:49 pm

I'm glad artistic genius runs in the family then :)

12:49 pm

I have it!

12:50 pm

lol, The graduation was sweet. Each child said what they wanted to be when they grew up, and showed a picture they had drawn thereof. They sang two songs, and they got little certificates. The end.

12:50 pm

hmmmm, let me try it again

12:50 pm

Try again, Aryn!

12:50 pm

I have 3 girls and 1 boy...8 grandchildren

12:50 pm

i must have misspelled it somehow!

12:50 pm

Daughter said she wants to be an art teacher, son wants to be a scientist.

12:50 pm

awwww. and what did yours want to be?

12:50 pm

Aryn...did you send the stats?

12:51 pm

excellent!

12:51 pm

Inspired by their various family members.

12:51 pm

did you want the stats?

12:51 pm

stuck on the last ra4/4 - any help?

12:52 pm

And now I have another little chunk of time before I go back again to meet them at the end of school. Good thing we live close.

12:52 pm

Yes, aryn...I told you before, but you must have missed it

12:52 pm

what sort of scientist?

12:52 pm

rodents

12:52 pm

have that one

12:52 pm

Vi, I just looked at your profile...I thought you had a icon of swiss cheese! lol

12:53 pm

ok, i sent them

12:53 pm

lex, that's the last one

12:53 pm

ra4/4 Indian princess?

12:53 pm

I think he'd be happy with anything! Front runners include planetary science, dinosaurs, and computers. He also likes plants and, yes, marine biology.

12:53 pm

the ra before that is to demolish a building

12:53 pm

rub it off withut the beginning

12:53 pm

Thanks Aryn'

12:53 pm

mmm... I like Swiss cheese! But I don't collect it! lol

12:53 pm

rani

12:53 pm

yay for dinosaurs and marine biology :)

12:54 pm

sorry i typed in the wrong box

12:54 pm

have that one atmaram

12:54 pm

But his uncles are a planetary scientist and a geologist (by training), and dad got a degree in astro-physics and does computer stuff, so those influences are very strong.

12:55 pm

He's pretty into bugs right now, too.

12:55 pm

oh wow, I bet! I could work on mass extinctions, which could involve dinosaurs, planetary science, and astro-physics!

12:56 pm

Good thinking, Ata! Maybe I'll suggest it to him! And he could do computer modelling of his theories, as well.

12:56 pm

absolutely

12:56 pm

to rave and ra**?

12:57 pm

when he's a bit older, I can tell him all about it too :P If I'd stayed in academia I would have focussed on mass extinctions

12:57 pm

it was like the back of a pencil with out the e

12:57 pm

r's greyed out!!

12:58 pm

It's very interesting stuff to be sure. But of course he has no idea what scientists actually DO.

12:58 pm

Of course, they do a lot of different things, for that matter.

12:58 pm

well of course LOL :D science is actually very boring 95% of the time1

12:59 pm

hi everyone!!!

12:59 pm

ust on fora little while....

12:59 pm

Whereas being an art teacher is never boring! So daughter'll win out on that score!

12:59 pm

Hello, FionaS.

1:00 pm

yeah, but the 5% of OMG!discoveries in science makes up for it all

1:00 pm

Afternoon, babbly blabbertons! Egad. I've hit the wall at 77. Curses!

1:01 pm

Oh, Ata, you'll appreciate this, too: we've started reading The Hobbit for our latest chapter book. We just finished with the episode of the trolls last night.

1:01 pm

Hello, Judi.

1:01 pm

oooo yay! do they like it?

1:02 pm

Can I have a clue for the mh please?

1:03 pm

Mh + slang for women of ill repute.

1:03 pm

So far, yes. They needed some extra explanation of the set-up at the beginning, why the dwarves wanted a burglar, what Gandalf's role was, and so forth. It's amazing how much background knowledge fantasy requires.

1:04 pm

Not that this is our first fantasy book. But still...

1:04 pm

you might want to wait a few years till you tackle The Silmarillion then :P

1:04 pm

How old are the wee ones you are reading to, Vic?

1:04 pm

brb

1:05 pm

Just turned 6, Judi. So yes, a smidge young for the Silmarillion! lol

1:07 pm

they'll soon grow up :D

1:07 pm

I'm waiting for it! =D

1:08 pm

Wow. A smidge young for fantasy that detailed I would think. Ah well, some young ones are more sophisticated than others. Points to you for being able to pronounce all the character names. Or do you fake that?

1:09 pm

lol, Judi! This is only the Hobbit - not so many tough names as in the Lord of the Rings, nor such sophisticated plot, nor so much dread and violence.

1:10 pm

lots of drunken elves though

Can I get some help with the OS words please I have the 4???

1:10 pm

Lots of drinking and smoking altogether, that's true. But no sex whatsoever.

1:11 pm

Never really could get into Tolkein. Tried to in my early teens - guess I didn't have the attention span. Found those books cumbersome and overly wordy.

1:11 pm

Some people does and some people doesn't, Judi. *shrug* But we're a fantasy-loving household, here! =D

1:11 pm

well, a bit of sex in the background one hopes, or else Frodo wouldn't have been around

1:12 pm

I did like "Watership Down" though. Go figure.

1:12 pm

and some people have about 6 foot of bookshelves of books by tolkien and about tolkien LOL

1:12 pm

os7/32 - potsherds with writing on, os + railroad, but replace the final k with a vowel

thanks vi

1:13 pm

os8/50 - same first 6 letters, but make it end with a fish

1:13 pm

os9/66 - pl the 8

thanks again vi

1:14 pm

The presence of children in a work of fiction is not the same as the presence of sex, however necessary a prerequisite one may have been for the other!

1:14 pm

My pleasure, Lindrickway.

OS 8/45 please???

1:15 pm

Still looking for that one.

ok thanks

gonna walk my pooch BBL

1:15 pm

Have fun.

1:15 pm

Hi lindy andn all

1:15 pm

tolkien was a good catholic boy, he wouldn't write sex!

1:15 pm

(didn't update my icon for today - sorry)

1:16 pm

I collect fabric

1:16 pm

os7, os8s, and os9 are all related - some kind of crustacean

1:17 pm

os8/45...change last cons from the os8/50

1:17 pm

He wouldn't write enough females for the men to have sex with!

1:17 pm

Ah, thanks, phaeton.

1:17 pm

females scared him

1:18 pm

Hey, just because they were all faeries doesn't mean they were gay! (Sorry, bad fantasy joke there - couldn't fight the compulsion).

1:18 pm

Yeah, we are a pretty scary lot.

1:18 pm

yw Vi

1:18 pm

tolkien didn't have faeries

1:18 pm

Grrr....

1:20 pm

Actually, Ata, there was a rumor that one of the Tooks must have taken a fairy for a wife! lol

1:20 pm

I dont think she meant the pixie type of faeries ;)

1:20 pm

(Though Tolkein says that was absurd.)

1:20 pm

Really? Could have sworn I remember faeries. Nymphs, maybe? Sprites? Or am I thinking of Babble members?

1:21 pm

actually there are fairies. I was just being annoying

1:21 pm

Definitely no fairies!

1:21 pm

the Book of Lost Tales etc has nature spirit and the fae

1:22 pm

Hmmm... okay. I'm sure you're more up to date on those.

1:23 pm

and yes, definitely fairy blood in the Tooks!

1:23 pm

And...DING! Time to return to school for the prepenultimate time this year!

1:24 pm

Back anon.

1:24 pm

have fun!

1:25 pm

2:07 pm

Nanner Nanner Nanner! Fireworks!

how are you? just passing through on the way to a work related website

2:07 pm

Suuuuure you are, TO.

congratulations Judi

honest ;)

2:08 pm

yeah right :P

later, all!

2:09 pm

Well, I'm celebrating my fireworks with a fat/sugar free soy shake and a bit of fat free tuna fish for a snack. (Don't all clamor to share now).

2:09 pm

bye again, owl

judi: yuck . i just had a hot dog, half a beer and half a donut

in that order. - *poof*

2:10 pm

LOL. Beee-yatch! This soy thing takes some getting used to. Tastes okay, but the texture is a bit thick.

LOL that's SKINNY bee-yatch to you! : P

well i'm trying to be...it's a long haul

2:11 pm

Oh... the cruelty.

just don't come up here and kick my butt, however . it's still a large target.

2:12 pm

some things are better left with no substitute... Id rather drink water than some kinda soy shake

2:13 pm

Well, I won't compare butts with you, BUT, I think I'll be drinking these things for a while. *sigh*

you go Judi! i am walking 1-3 miles per day, just began

2:14 pm

Oh, I drink plenty of water, too, icepyro. I just need some protein and fiber to fill me up.

2:14 pm

if only you could easily get our skimmed milk ...

2:15 pm

Yes, going to gym at least 4 times per week, too. God, I feel like such a load. But my healthy diet seems to be palatable, and I feel really good. MUST STICK TO PLAN!

2:15 pm

good for you, Judi!!

YOU GO! when we get to where we want to be we can have a lovely low fat lunch. and cocktails,

2:16 pm

green smoothies rock for losing weight..if you do a quart a day, your food cravings change...

2:16 pm

i swam for an hour yesterday, felt better than i have in a while after that

2:16 pm

Ty, Ata. I was mixing the shakes with skim milk at first. However, the milk doesn't always agree with me.

2:17 pm

green smoothies?

bye and good luck judi - see you soon!

2:17 pm

I haven't given up wine. For the love of God, I have to draw the line somewhere.

2:17 pm

Thanks, TO. Good luck to you too!

2:17 pm

lol absolutely ditto here, Judi!

2:18 pm

I... can't afford good wine and can't stand cheap wine so ...

2:18 pm

I can live on cottage cheese and rabbit food as long as I have a glass of wine!

2:18 pm

lol ata

2:19 pm

cottage cheese is the only kinda food with the word cheese that I dont like =\

2:20 pm

cottage cheese and I have our moments. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I couldn't eat it for large amounts of money

2:25 pm

ok the grid these last couple days have done nothing but annoy me...

2:26 pm

green smoothies: lettuce greens/spinach/kale etc blended with water and fruits like papaya, banana, pear...really good and filling. I do one every morning and did do a week of just smoothies--some more like gaspacho ingredients without sweet fruit.

2:26 pm

lost 3 sizes by green smoothies, dropping meat and gluten.

2:27 pm

I dont want to go to the list yet, but am getting nowhere fast so obviously i should go to the list

2:28 pm

don't they taste *horrid*?

2:28 pm

wtg babs.... I cant do diets myself... best diet for me is asking myself 'am i hungry' when i want to get food... if I can stick to only eating when the answer is yes... thats the best way for me to lose weight lol

2:34 pm

heh if I go too long without meat I start singing jimmy buffet's 'cheeseburger in paradise' without realizing it

2:34 pm

there's a song called that!

2:35 pm

2:58 pm

eie the word that begins with h right for that an word after the picnic pest which i spell out/

3:00 pm

Yes, Icepyro, except it's actually antepenultimate. Foruth to last would be penantepenult... then prepenantepenult...

3:00 pm

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

fo4/8 rhymes with Mr Hancock.

3:02 pm

(Spelled like, rather. Doesn't actually rhyme.)

3:03 pm

You can go on infinitely with the prefixes.... only of course no one would ever both counting them after the first couple! And eventually you get to where you're closer to the front than the end anyway! lol

3:03 pm

TY eieios & hello all

3:53 pm

heya lynxxx

3:54 pm

who pilfered from someone else

3:54 pm

here's my craziest story: had a patient in the Hubbard tank (large whirlpool) for necrosis in the anal/scrotal region... when we drained the whirlpool, his privates were lying in the bottom of the tank ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

3:54 pm

FELL OFF???

3:54 pm

Boiled OFF???

3:54 pm

TY lynxx!!!

3:54 pm

YUCK!

3:54 pm

GAAARROSSS

3:55 pm

it was rotting off anyway... the whirlpool didn't do it

3:55 pm

i bet he totally freaked!

3:55 pm

that is disgusting monkey!!!

3:55 pm

he had severe necrosis (dead tissue)

3:55 pm

you could hear him yelling all over the hospital

3:55 pm

i think i might barf

3:56 pm

we were whirlpooling to try and save it, to try to clean and keep area sterile

3:56 pm

he was a paraplegic, so, no pain or feeling in that zone

3:56 pm

apparently the whirlpool didn't work...I'll keep that in mind...

3:56 pm

I repeat GAARROSSSS

3:56 pm

well that's my weirdest story to day

3:56 pm

i mean, to date

3:57 pm

do you get a prostetic for that?

3:57 pm

we knew the WP probably wouldn't work, but patient and his doctor insisted we try

3:57 pm

changing the subject

3:57 pm

actually - there are penile prosthetics...

3:57 pm

my cadaver had one in anatomy class

3:58 pm

huh...

3:58 pm

oh my!!!! boooiiiing

8:38 pm

Lickety, how is she??

She had her surgery - Dr said it was a success. She's in a world of pain, but Dr thinks bone is quite strong and with plate and bone graft he thinks recovery will be faster than expected - so that's great news. It'll take a week or two for her to get over the surgery though - and then a year on antiobiotics. She has 3 entry sites - chest for portacath, hip for graft, and arm (10cm) for graft, plate and screws.

8:38 pm

Congratulations asgreen on fireworks! Good for you!

9:38 pm

Hi all. Re the dentist thing, Herin. Since my old dentist (who's only about 4-5 years older than me) decided to retire early after a) becoming disenchanting with the National Health Serice rules and b) breaking a thumb whilst skiing, a thumb that didn't readily heal, and then decided to sell the practice on to a Sikh couple, all I can say is that the new man (not met the wife yet) is far more 'private practice savvy' than my old dentist was. I can't get a bloody thing done there now! He denies bits of fillings have fallen out, 'It's just the shape of the tooth'. Yea, right! And, if some work is reuired, pullss the damned tooth out. Last visit wasn't quite the same. He said he could help re collapsed molar and discoloured front teeth - to the tune of almost £1,000 and no guarantee that the molar wouldn't have to be removed if the cap didn't work.

hey hey all. Hi Min! Hi Jac!

9:38 pm

NOT IMPRESSED!

9:39 pm

Hey Jac

9:39 pm

Hello autumn moon! How are you?Welcome to the grid

I'm good thanks, Min. Hope you've had a good day

Epps Jac thats not good

9:40 pm

I did have a good day, thank you autumn moon. It is about to end though since I have to go to bed soon.

9:40 pm

os clues? are they all related?

eek, Jac that sounds horrible!

I just logged on. Will try to get a few words here.

9:41 pm

tough break with the dentist, jac

9:42 pm

os4/4 is like a grouch without a letter. os7/32 is 1st 4 letters flightless bird+vowel + astate abbreviation.

9:42 pm

too bad about the dentist, jac... I've found a fab dentist. She does cosmetic dentistry and "makeovers" as well as traditional... She is quite the perfectionist, and you'd think she was having an org*** when she did my root canal last week.

Hi Natts

9:43 pm

hi herin :)

9:43 pm

os8/50 is same first 6 letters plus a fish. os 9/66 is a plural of the os 8/50 word. os8/45 word is same first 6 letters plus pros and ***s Shirlockc and hello there!

I just don't go to dentists can't afford it even on public health

9:44 pm

I don't go to the dentist either,but I really should go!

9:44 pm

'tis expensive, true... but I have dental coverage with my work benefit plan (and so does hubby)

Went last year but that was an emergency and it was still expensive.

9:45 pm

Teeth isn't something you want to mess around with.

No choice. 16 month waiting list and its about $80 just to have them poked at

9:46 pm

I have to have another root canal done tomorrow.

9:46 pm

the co4/7 after the fish?

owwies Natts

9:47 pm

co4/7:another word for comfortable and warm hshliz

9:47 pm

co4/7 is warm and cuddly, like a blankie

blankie

9:47 pm

what hurts more is the antibiotic she has put me on... killing my stomach.

9:48 pm

10:23 pm

back from picking up daughter... here to chat and clue at random.

10:23 pm

Anyone seen the Canadian news about the 6th severed foot washing up ashore? All feet wearing trainers and only one left foot out of the lot. My God! I love 'Dexter' but this seems like it might be the real life take on it. Or maybe it's finally the comeback from an aircrash with 5 men onboard there?

10:23 pm

Oh good another cluer is here. Now I am REALLY off!

10:24 pm

It's a weird story, LadyNatts. Just like the 22 Brigend suicides that 'the authorities' insist 'are not linked'.

10:32 pm

5

10:32 pm

IN 5/12 please - im stuck!

Yep sure smell a conspiracy much. As for the foot thing it could be a morgue/med students joke

10:32 pm

That seems to be some cult thing from facebook or myspace or some other site... the kids all eem to hang themselves at preciae times to the times others have habgd themselves.

10:32 pm

10:35 pm

NE 5/10 anyone?

10:36 pm

Al the kids are connected some way by their friends circles... the gloom gets expanded... some b*stard that 'knows' them all has them in his thrall and like the Whako nut, convinces them that 'going to the next world' is the only way.

10:37 pm

ne5/10 rhymes with he5/10 (which isn't in the grid) but is a robbery.

10:37 pm

ne 5,10 is like ne4, 4 after it... with an extra vowel in the middle

10:37 pm

Usually a bank robbery.

10:54 pm

so tube feeding him to give him a couple weeks and see if he learns to be hungry again

10:54 pm

Oh poor baby. So you thing he is going to live up to Dain?

10:55 pm

na4/4...only 3 left

10:55 pm

10:55 pm

ta4/5 and ra4/5....seems to be a theme here

10:56 pm

oh, and i think he's almost blind. he walks up to things until he's about 2 inches away, then turns and doesn't quite bump them

Poor darling if i lived in your area id take him home

10:56 pm

got the ta

Oh poor little darling. Sounds like he got shaken.

10:57 pm

and the ra

10:58 pm

dunno, lady. if he doesn't start eating on his own, that means putting in a permanent feeding tube, and tube feeding him forever

10:58 pm

and firewords for me

10:58 pm

thanks anyhoo

Would it be kinder to put him to sleep if that doesn't work? I hate saying that it breaks my heart

Yah Liz

10:59 pm

dunno about kinder to him; he doesn't seem to care one way or the other. but makes it awfully hard to find him a home

11:00 pm

congrats, liz :)

Your the vet. You going to keep him?

11:01 pm

I'd rather not; i already have 4 cats

11:01 pm

but i guess it depends on how much he recovers

I hope someone takes him in

11:21 pm
