he did say he was going to ask him I really miss Fire

that would describe me lol

2:10 am

in my humble opinion, of course

mar, sucks big hairy gonads for sure

2:27 am

forget who it is but it's a lot easier than more words...

I have never heard of babble dabble...

babble dabble.com?

2:27 am

http://www.andrewbuchan.co.uk/babble/

oh that is bfsog's site... lickety thought that was really cool too!

2:28 am

yes that's the one!

ty just, I'll check it out this time

2:29 am

I know there are many die hard babblers who'd never use this site, but I am not one of them lol

2:29 am

I thought it was a great site too MrP

when I get to the point I am stuck, I agree just.

2:30 am

yeah esp with such obscure words...can be extremely annoying

Then it is beyond fun, so I take all the help I can get. :~)

lickety developed babble expert to assist me... otherwise he would never get dinner!

LOL mrp

2:31 am

Dr god seems to enjoy putting out grids with tons of vowels...

2:31 am

lol what a great guy!

2:32 am

the only thing my hubby could do for me is build me a padded cell so that I can go crazy and not hurt myself (in frustration at the grid, of course) !

have been there mar!

2:34 am

well of to see the wizard....take care, have fun, be well

ciao mar! enjoy

u 2 just cy the flip

thanks goodness for bfsog and the nasty J words got done before I smashed the keyboard!

yipes... smashing keyboards already

J is not my favourite letter... and lucky for my keyboard, C and M are not here tonight either!

lol

re words can be my nemesis at times

re words are tricky cause of the prefix stuff... especially those rere words !! what the heck are those about?

agreed... no rhyme nor reason in my mind, why some re words are ok and others are not

rerecite, rerebrace, reresupper.... for goodness sakes!

idiotic, isn't it. btw, did you get moved?

week and a half to go... not packed at all!

it will go quickly, I bet. You will be so excited, you'll work like a madwoman...

2:55 am

49 to go. now I'm stuck

haha! don't need to work at being a madwoman!

3:45 am

that's my job :D

3:47 am

i finally got the new laptop connected to the network but had to get one of kierans mates into doing it cause i just couldnt get to grips

3:47 am

so i paid him 20 bucks it was well worth the help

3:47 am

networks are stinking creepy unpredictable things.

3:49 am

Kiwi, can I get help for that weird tr6 please pretty please with a fairy on top?

3:50 am

dont ask me ask ata lol

3:50 am

tho i am the in6 lol

3:50 am

lol, silly me, thinking you would have found it by now!

3:52 am

im not even half way lol

3:54 am

I am severely limited by knowing that Ata doesn't call words weird very easily!

3:55 am

im just severely comfortably numb that i cant even begin to work out monkeys lol

3:56 am

hehehe, always funny, you at the end of your day and I just starting mine :)

3:57 am

my kieran for the first time i can ever remember went out trick or treating with a couple of mates

3:57 am

wow that rocks, Kiwi!

3:58 am

im not sure if i approved or not but i let him go as his friends mothers let theirs loose too lol

3:59 am

as long as they stay together, they will be fine, Kiwi

3:59 am

hes home now - only stayed out a couple of hours

4:00 am

so... well done Kieran and and well done mum.

4:01 am

we went to Caya's school yesterday to talk about the problems with that other girl. Teacher said he tried to talk with her and with her parents and that all he could do now was protect Caya in class as much as possible.

4:02 am

no use in talking to them at all. Some parents should get grounded. Seriously.

4:02 am

has it got that bad spritey - im sorry i sorta missed out on a few convos over the last few weeks

hi all again :)

4:03 am

mrp!!!!!!!!!! hugs happy babbling

4:03 am

haven't talked about it since I got my head bitten off by Haz, actually. Yes, it is still a big issue, which only can be the case because those parents keep feeding it. Left to the girls, it would have died down weeks ago.

4:03 am

wb mrP

sprite, it has got to the point that the teacher needs to protect caya?? what from??

4:04 am

Head bitten off? I think that's an exaggeration.

4:05 am

sure felt that way, Haz

4:05 am

Then know that it was not intended that way. I was really concerned that you had allowed yourself to be consumed by the situation in an unhealthy way.

4:06 am

But I've learned my lesson. I'll keep quiet in future.

4:06 am

back!

4:06 am

the other girl is telling the weirdest stories to the other class mates, trying to isolate Caya. But also she is driving Caya crazy with complimenting her every 5 minutes (literally) on her shoes, pencil, years-old sweater, etc etc etc and following her everywhere.

4:07 am

I have unhappy furbrats. Silverclaw has licked all the gravy from her food, and now wants more food so she can lick the gravy off that.

4:07 am

Hobbit has only been given dog food for breakfast. Not quite sure what she was expecting, but she looked at it and then looked at me with huge sad eyes and walked off sadly

4:07 am

unfortunately i think the child is being influenced by the parents and pretty much when it gets like that its very hard to curb

4:07 am

I had not, Haz. It is an ugly situation that has gotten us worried for months now. Even the teachers are out of their depths.

4:08 am

exactly Kiwi. No way on earth a girl on her own would keep this alive for so long.

4:09 am

and it isn't just in school, it is in the playground and with the riding lessons as well. So Caya is having a hell of a time, coping with seeing all places she felt loved and secure being influenced, except home.

4:10 am

and I do realise it is nothing compared to children without limbs who manage to cope, Haz.

4:11 am

I don't think she suggested that

ah, bullying: alientating friends, being sarcastic and intimidating... time to have that child dealt with. Letter to the school, copied to your education department... TELLING them what you want to happen now. You have rights, as does Caya. in this country, I have the right to tell the school not to allow a child to be anywhere near my child, not to speak to, look at or talk about my child. I hope it is the same for you.

4:13 am

we had another talk with the teachers yesterday, mrP, and they are taking the issue very very seriously. Today measures will be taken to bring the bullying and alienating friends into the open and dealt with. Caya will be seated in a better place. The other girl will be put on notice to leave Caya alone.

otherwise, threaten to sue them for not keeping your child safe and they WILL sort it out... It is called damage control. I would be throwing those words around a lot whilst threatening them.

4:14 am

thats good to hear - spritey if worst comes to worst id be happy to play surrogate aunt and she could come over here and have a school exchange and ill sponsor her

better still.... get an apprehension violence order :D the children's parents will have to deal with it then.

4:15 am

darn, crying again. I have seen my radiant little girl who almost hated weekends because she loved school so much turn into a sad and worried one that would love to stay home in my arms for the whole day.

4:15 am

Kiwi, you rock big time! :)

we have 5 bedrooms! she can stay with us too!!

4:16 am

not sure how it would work but im sure we could make it work :)

4:16 am

thanks mrP :)

4:16 am

i asked first lol

sprite, when does she change schools for middle/high school?

4:18 am

Caya didn't want to tell the teachers every time things happened, she was afraid they would grow irritated and bored by her complaints. She cried so much yesterday when I told her her teachers want her to come to them with everything and will support her through the whole mess and will do what they can to make things better.

4:18 am

good morning beautiful peoples... are we having problems with babble again... there is one letter that won't come up...

4:18 am

another 19 months, mrP

4:18 am

ok ill be back in a bit - i think ill take the laptop to bed and see if the wireless works - if i dont come back ya know it didnt and ill see you tomorrow day

4:18 am

hi oodleberry, not here. Perhaps a force-refresh will help?

4:19 am

I hope it will, Kiwi, babbling in bed is luxurious :)

4:19 am

ty but have been trying that

4:20 am

oh well that's life and then you kick the bucket

I would prefer to bite the dust LOL

4:22 am

cleaning out the cache, rebooting or restarting the modem sometimes solves it too here, oodleberry.

19 months... long time. I am getting lag here oodleberry... red screen looks imminent

4:22 am

hehehe, I recently read: Not only is life a b*tch, it has puppies.

4:23 am

tyvm sprite

4:23 am

yes, too long a time. I told Caya things will resettle sooner than that. And will make sure it does, lol.

4:26 am

G'd morning Babblers!

4:26 am

must be off to therapy in 5 minutes. Thanks for the listening ears, guys. It helped me to be able to vent and hear your reactions. *hugs*

4:26 am

i'm going to change it later today i think

it's time for a change. YES WE CAN

it sort of looks like a turtle with hair to me LOL

yeah, i think it's pretty weird

kind of like a turtle corey haim

4:55 am

Thanks Ata, took the monkeys so long I decreased their rations. Ju 4 is dumb too. Babble's a stoopid game anyways....

4:57 am

good, you can't overfeed the monkeys!

4:57 am

They're spoilt, I think that's the problem.

4:59 am

I think so! Gruel for a week

5:00 am

And I'll sit a bag of peanuts in a glass case to taunt them....

5:00 am

hahaha yes

5:00 am

That's what I call upping the ante Ata. lol

5:56 am

sorry that was an evil clue!

5:56 am

never reverse when your back is against the wall, crossy...

5:56 am

it was, a true hallowe'en clue, Ata. Lovely.

5:56 am

***covers cross' wall with nice soft rubber so he doesn't get hurt***

6:05 am

6:05 am

lolol cross I'm weather!

6:06 am

6:11 am

Absolutely cross. Self pity IS the enemy in ANY manner of healing and moving on.

The image of the rock hard parrot being rapped against the counter will stay in my mind forever.

6:31 am

I remembered bits of it Eva but thanks to google ...

6:31 am

The cheese shop is awesome too.

6:32 am

Thank god for Google-as our internal RAM begins to fail we can always look things up

6:32 am

the cheese shop is amazing

6:32 am

I am missing an s, is there more than 1 x 6 or anything bigger?

6:32 am

last time I went to Canterbury Cathedral with best friend and her husband, there was a dead pigeon on one of the gravestones in the cloisters. We all looked all each other and burst out "It's a dead PIGEON!" and ran round reenacting the dead parrot sketch in front of all the confused tourists

6:32 am

Morning crossy :)

6:32 am

I don't remember the cheese shop but I do remember the Ministry of silly walks. Is the cheeseshop vidoe on the web?

6:32 am

I've got 1x6, but I'm missing one, too

***pops a Ritalin to see if that helps***

6:42 am

6:43 am

Good Morning all

6:44 am

2 As are eluding me utterly

6:44 am

6:44 am

6:44 am

G'd morning jorja

6:44 am

Red, I was just reading about people abandoning pet Burmese pythons in the Everglades . . . check out this pic: http://tinyurl.com/67vfq8

6:44 am

Hi jorja

6:44 am

4th col, 3rd row

6:45 am

by the looks of the grid today... yesterday may have been my first and only time of seeing fireworks

6:45 am

good to know which is the trickiest

6:45 am

Hello everyone. My late arrival is due to overuse of the snooze button.

6:45 am

heh, least the e is done. ***miniscule smug***

6:45 am

so we have smugness fall at higher elevations with fogginess at lower levels till the sun burns it off later in the day

6:45 am

hey, scrabs

6:45 am

howdy scrabbs;))

6:45 am

You can do it jorja! G'd morning Scrabbler.

6:45 am

Hi Scrabs and Une

6:46 am

Yes, Crossy, with caffeine entering the area now too.

6:46 am

Morning Scrabs

6:46 am

***removes snooze button from Scrabbler's clock***

6:46 am

6:46 am

Oops, missed Une. G'd morning!

6:46 am

TY, Lori

6:46 am

howdy!

6:46 am

lol Scrabs I hit the snooze button a lot this morning and then realised I had set the alarm for 4.30 and not 6.30!

6:47 am

ive had a total of 5 fireworks since.......june 23rd;((

morning scrabbler!

6:47 am

We don't even own an alarm clock in the house. Use our internal clocks.

6:47 am

appreciate the faith Scrabs.... much needed :)

6:47 am

cross, you have a good reason for that at the mo. Milk it!!!! :D

6:47 am

I woke up at 4:30, finally fell asleep at 6, alarm went off at 6:30 and then I snoozed til 7:30. My lesson: just get up when you cannot sleep. I would have finished the grid by now.

6:48 am

Gosh, Lori, is that a special skill for Nova Scotians?

6:48 am

*fire off a 42 gun salute for crossy* just because :)

getting awful noisy in here....FM? why is that??

clocks are for external use only, read the label

6:49 am

Haven't used an alarm clock since I was 15 or so. I'm very self disciplined. No. Really. At least with waking up....

6:49 am

Crossy is a REAL man! Yahooo!

LOL jean

6:49 am

Haha, Jean

6:49 am

6:51 am

8:44 am

OK don't despakd\\

8:45 am

Cat-typing is not as useful as monkey typing, is it??

8:46 am

What I was *trying* to say before the kitty "helped" is, don't despair, the puzzle is more of a treat than a trick, at least once I went to Lickety.

8:47 am

Anyone need clues before I get off to work?

8:47 am

yes, jan...i need re 7/40, please

8:47 am

No thank you Jan, will keep plodding along.

8:51 am

just mumbling and grubling along

8:51 am

*grumbling

8:52 am

lol.. it is tricky.

8:52 am

I like "grubbling" better, it seems to describe the process of slowing working the grid...

8:53 am

yes, grubbling is rather descriptive

8:56 am

Adios...must head to work now. Good Babbling to you...

8:56 am

hi bichon. don'tyet have any 7s

1:19 pm

yes, bichon-add a common flower to the ag4/6

1:19 pm

but don't double any letters

1:20 pm

ty scribe

1:20 pm

you're very welcome-

afternoon people. I've got 78 left.... this grid is bizarre, it goes isn spurts and stops.

hi red.

Is everyone having a good Hallooween? Ready for trick or treaters?

just got fireworks - i disliked this grid

congrats Joshua V

yay josh!

any clues before i bolt?

love anything from the middle O...

Hi briefly! Just got Walter off to bed. Didn't know we were that funny-- we ended up making him laugh so much he fell over twoce and turned a very alarming color and tols us to stop for a minute. Then he wanted us to go right back to it. I have rarely seen him that amused-- and he in general easily amused.

Well Monkey perhaps you shoud rethink your career choice!

middle o = babble's babblet willow

1:25 pm

os 5/10 a willow twig

I guess... hard to find English venues that appreciate Ernie-toy-chewing-on-book humor though...

Only kindergarten venues!

ok trying.

Those are pretty much ALL in Dutch... still, the routine WAS mostly visual.

ahh got one!

He also wanted to sleep with all three pf his stuffed macaws and na,med each of them Bert and Ernie, and said he doesn not want to name anything after his girlfriend (yes, he's in love).

She's an older woman though... she's over 5!

1:36 pm

*yawn* afternoon babblers!

1:38 pm

any hints for the en 7?

1:38 pm

wait, got the first one

1:38 pm

i have 2 EN7... they are both EN + Sn5

1:38 pm

exactly the same except for the last letter

1:38 pm

got them both, thanks

evan nice icon for the day!

1:40 pm

thanky :)

1:41 pm

hints for the i words?

the one I have is a , 24 like a type of triable plsu the end of an 8 sided thing octa***...

1:42 pm

thanks!

1:43 pm

red, what is a triable plsu?

1:43 pm

how about the bottom N?

Oh gosh, how eva ever got that...

Sorry. I meant a type of triangle plus...

1:44 pm

i was already noodling, but your clue helped me with the ending :)

one i have is not close but Ne**

1:44 pm

ne 4 is close by and the 5/10 is a chemical or ne + you're on a ***l

1:45 pm

the close one is from the N in the middle row...

1:45 pm

thanks, red

Oooh.

the other one is plural nostrils..

1:46 pm

my armis so sore from carving pumpkins last night!

Did you do fancy ones Eva?

1:47 pm

kinda-sorta...nothing TOO impressive... i did a medium-large orange one with kinda scrolly details on it... then i did a simple white one to look like a ghost...

That sounds fancy!

do you have the good candy?

1:51 pm

i do, but i gave away a lot of it at work today! doesnt really matter though because (1) we will be going out tonight ourselves and (2) i dont expect to get many kids at our place...

1:52 pm

one bag was starburst, one bag was a mix of airheads, lollipops, and fruity mentos, and the other bag was a mix of peanut butter cups, hersheys kisses, and the hersheys miniatures...

At my complex, they give you a big orange sign you can put on your door if you want trick or treaters. It should be awild night, for the dog specially.

1:52 pm

i dont think we get anything like that at our place... though, id think kitting the apartments would be a big bang for your buck!

I imagine it would be people are so concerned about safety these days...

1:54 pm

growing up, our street didnt have many houses... mom would drive us to the townhouse section of the neighborhood -- we could get a lot of candy with minimal walking, and she could see us from the car, so she got to stay warm... it was a win-win for us all!

1:55 pm

I grew up in a city housing project [for middle-income] and we just went from floor to floor collecting our treats

I grew up in a small town, we used to go all over the place. I do recall though one year having to wear my winter coat with a butterfly costume and being very angry. the costume looked lumpy!

2:02 pm

anyone have the in 6/18?

I only have the tirable I.

2:05 pm

in6/18 is mad! :)

I am amazed at the hoopla over halloween, so many talk show people news people etc dressed up...

2:05 pm

evening everyone

Did anyone see Matt Laur in the humpty dumpty costume?

2:06 pm

Evening Katie

2:06 pm

I have some very very bad news :-(

Hi Katie!

Oh NO.

2:07 pm

We have changed server at work and I can no longer access babble there!!!!!!

2:07 pm

KAtie what?

katie?

2:08 pm

The shock at lunchtime today was nearly too much for me!

Oh no katie. you will have to print grid and come home and enter words.

2:09 pm

Quit and go work where they have a friendlier servier

2:09 pm

You have to make a buddy friend in the IT dept

FM has the best suggestion.

2:11 pm

Unfortunately as we are starting a new company with 800 employees even my friend in IT can't swing it for me. I can see much more working at home in my future :-)

I wish i could work at home, but I dont see it happeneing in my type of job LOL.

2:15 pm

you wouldn't want your patients at home with your red :-)

2:15 pm

*you

This is also true Katie! I am giggling at that thought.

2:17 pm

losing my mind - any clues for the en 5/10 pls for the "fireworks"

2:17 pm

I only have one and it is the pl of the one above

en5 to sign on for something

2:18 pm

Opps sorry I've just clued the ea not the en!!!

katie - my deepest condolences on your loss, ;-)

our server won't allow "games" either

2:19 pm

thank you Chrissie, our last shouldn't have but babble fell through the net, alas no more

I have not had any internet access at work for 6 months now. I do find I am actually somewhat more productive...of course now i am really busy so no time anyway.

it will allow sudoku on the times online, so that's my r&r at lunchtime

2:19 pm

crossy is back;)

2:20 pm

I'm having real problems with this grid tonight

2:20 pm

Hi crossy :-)

Hi Cross! AKA MR. Hair.

this is not a real feel good grid.

true red, it's pulling me down

2:21 pm

howdy katie, red;)

2:22 pm

this grid is so evil that hell itself spat it back out;/

Now Cross, it isnt quite that bad. I have 64 left.

ok make it 63!

2:23 pm

I always feel so much better when I have peer confirmation that it is not just me being thick

2:23 pm

whee! first word in 15 min!

2:23 pm

and a y even;)

2:24 pm

so misery loves company eh katie? lol

2:24 pm

I've still got 85 left to go, I will be going to the list early tonight

2:25 pm

sokay soon time to break out the chocolate and champers....

2:25 pm

Not many trick or treaters so hubby & I are going to stuff ourselves on chocolate and drink some champagne later :-)

2:25 pm

OMG Cross, how did you know?

2:26 pm

snap!

good job Crossy!

2:27 pm

not a hard guess,people often have problems buying gifts for ladies,but i never have.want to know the secret?

Listen to the ladies?

2:27 pm

No but my hubby does!!

2:27 pm

well,other than that...

Ellenhas not interesting guests today.

2:28 pm

just buy anything that makes,retains,generate,produces or throws heat:))

2:29 pm

my better half is getting some nice cowl neck sweaters and a new jacket for this christmas:)

2:29 pm

We are not going to do Christmas pressies this year

Really Katie?

This christms I want some running shorts.

2:30 pm

We will be drinking champagne on a Maldivian beach so pressies seem a little irrelevant :-)

but, as cross suggests warm socks would be alright. too.

just had the cutest trick or treaters - little pussy cats

2:31 pm

i would go with that but its boing to be about minus 15 degrees by christmas here:/

Kaite, I bet you guys end up doing smal pressies anyway.

I went swimming outside in the unheated pool today Cross.

2:32 pm

was a nice day today was 12 c

Wow I am finally NBT>

kate, were you giving your trick or treaters champagne?

2:32 pm

To be honest we would but we bought each other jewellry for our wedding day and I got loads more for my 40th so we don't know what to get each other

socks.

2:33 pm

I have a tin of roses chrissie with a strict limit of 3 per child

wtg red, with 47 to go I still have a blank tile

I wish I had only 47 to go!

2:33 pm

the tile tween my ears seems to be blank as far as this grid is going today:/

wait till you've been together over 30 years like me and my other half katie

2:34 pm

hi all -- is this grid as evil as it looks? appropriate for halloween i guess

bet it takes them ages to pick their favourites, lol

2:34 pm

30 years...good grief.wife and i just did our 15th

it certainly is pk

hi PK, it is not easy at all.

2:35 pm

My bridesmaid got an eternity ring for her first christmas with her hubby but as we have just spent an arm and a leg on the holiday I think that would be pushing it too far!

we met when I was 17, married at 21, and I was 50 this year crossy

and they said it wouldn't last, lol

2:36 pm

her parents just did thier 62nd

2:36 pm

No choices Chrissie I just drop them in their buckets, we would have no heat left in the house :-)

hmmm, maybe for your first anniversary katie

wow, that's an achievement

2:37 pm

so my chances of outliving my darling buttercup and not having a blankie thief in the night are very slim:))

2:37 pm

We met at 38 married at 39 if we get to 30 years both here and healthy I would be very pleased

2:38 pm

in 6/18?

2:44 pm

it is a nastry grid, for sure

I need the first one peri

2:44 pm

ty chrissie,need all the clues i can get today

2:44 pm

You really need to look at moving and also going for both from the same company for gas & electricity and getting an online bill, it is amazing how much you can save

My parents like the wood heat and rarely use the gas, but they are considerably more southerly than you cross.

2:45 pm

It will be top of my list for tomorrow Katie :)

2:46 pm

if i went with nothing but wood head i would need 6 bush cord of hard wood and 3 face cord of soft:/

go wood FM itsso cozy.

ty bichon - I was hung up on Taj Mahal instead of city

2:46 pm

*retires back to the slough of despond*

Of course it helps to have an on property supply like my parents do.

2:46 pm

we are with eon and for both with online billing and are on £72 per month for a 4 bed house

2:46 pm

cosy indeed,come home after being outside all day and im asleep in front of the thing in ten minutes:/

2:47 pm

Ty Chrissie, finally I get it.

ty for the tip katie - I need to look at changing supplier but keep procratinating

My Dad cuts all of the wood they use. So its cheap.

Perhaps cross you can come down and Dad will give you some?

2:47 pm

£72 p.m for a 4 bed house - that almost what I am paying for a 2 bed flat on gas and elec. Stoopid!

2:47 pm

here a bush cord of good hard wood runs $240.00 or so

2:48 pm

I think BG is the most expenisve but the rest are much the same, I have had very good customer service from them

Wow. I have no idea what wood costs.

2:48 pm

and 72 pounds a month is very cheat heating indeed!!!

2:48 pm

well 2.2 dollars to the pound or so

LOL cross I paid 15 bucks for my power last month.

2:49 pm

and where are you red?

2:49 pm

we pay it all year round cross so the small amount used in the summer is balanced by higher use in the winter

2:50 pm

Red, don't you use AC in FL?

2:50 pm

angrotoephobia..fear of goat toes;)

lol crossy

3:19 pm

Hello Babble Teammates.

3:20 pm

mm crossy needs a shot of something single barrel and strong...

3:20 pm

hi scrab

3:20 pm

scrabbs!:))

3:20 pm

hi Scrabs

3:20 pm

How did your talk go, lke?

3:20 pm

I mean KJE

3:20 pm

but as scrabbs knows..even milk is an adventure for me for a week or so:(

3:21 pm

Get the calories in that body, crossy.

3:21 pm

im packing them in !

3:22 pm

and keeping about 20% :/

3:22 pm

phantom = jaguar

3:22 pm

very well, scrab... my nerves calmed once i started talking... then it was fine... really good participation when I asked for it, and good comments afterwards... several people said it gave them a lot to think about in improving transitional care at their sites... so that is pretty good... mission accomplished

3:22 pm

Crossy, as I may have mentioned, I have a friend starting chemo next week. He needs lots of encouragement. He doesn't want to have a port inserted. Is he being reasonable at all?

3:22 pm

How about peanut butter or ice cream?

3:22 pm

Yippee for you, kje!

3:22 pm

pb no,vanillia ice cream yes

3:22 pm

kje, who was your audience?

3:22 pm

yes,i was offered a stent and did not use it

3:23 pm

doctors

3:23 pm

it was an Updates In Internal Medicine CME course sponsored by the university

3:23 pm

Would it have been easier with one?

3:23 pm

There is an increased risk of a blood infection with a port, however it makes IV access much easier.

3:23 pm

it iss a bit easier

3:23 pm

as scrabbs says

3:24 pm

cme - continuing ed?

3:24 pm

but i dont like the feeling of it

3:24 pm

continuing medical education... sorry, slip into jargon easily

3:24 pm

pb for crossy!

3:24 pm

oh, and bichon

3:24 pm

he doesn't have cooperative veins

3:24 pm

I figured

3:24 pm

that's great- I'm glad it went so well

3:24 pm

crossy hunts frantically for the word

3:24 pm

If there are good veins---more likely in a non-overweight guy--then that helps.

3:25 pm

darn... i had that one

3:25 pm

then he should go with it bichon

3:25 pm

ag 5/6/6 clues again PRETTY PLEASE?

3:25 pm

i went in a heavy dude so i had options

3:25 pm

in6?

3:25 pm

I used ea5 to. I guess I should run off to the penalty box with crossy. Come on, crossy, maybe there is vanilla ice cream.

3:26 pm

ag 5/14 Greek market place 6/24, the plurals

3:26 pm

and a cherry pocicle?

3:26 pm

in 6 is to be off ones rocker

3:26 pm

ag5phobia... fear of open places

3:26 pm

I will special order cherry popsicles for you, crossy.

3:26 pm

he he he... think i should have gotten that one - TY

3:26 pm

I agree, popsicles are the answer to everything

ag5 = ag + either ** + vowel

3:27 pm

Nope, chocolate is.

3:27 pm

Crossy - Yogurt with or without fruit? one of the few things I could taste

ag6's latin plural and plural

3:27 pm

nah... tequila is

3:27 pm

3:27 pm

Haha, kje.

3:28 pm

right now at 3 days post treatment all i can taste,sweat and smell is cisplatin lynn but i will give it a go;/

3:28 pm

I'm bouncing in and out of here - my daughter is having a pre-trick or treating melt down

3:28 pm

Give her some chocolate, asg.

3:28 pm

3:28 pm

3:30 pm

3:31 pm

I just ate a Fiber One Oat/Chocolate Bar--yummy. I made the mistake of eating 2 the other evening....I was ready for a colonoscopy a few hours later.

3:31 pm

3:33 pm

I take it Scrabbler, you arent going to schedule it right for the day...?

3:34 pm

No rush, red....but I am thinking about which doc to choose.

3:34 pm

3:35 pm

who knew there even were this many a words?

3:35 pm

sausage?

3:35 pm

Stoopid doctors, crossy!

3:35 pm

and i tell you,right now i cant wait to get back to them;)

3:35 pm

Colonoscopy's no big deal, it's the starvation and drinking that goop

3:35 pm

30 left asg... just saying

59 here.

3:36 pm

81... not even giving you a run for your $$

3:36 pm

3:36 pm

i will have to quit soon... i have a headache for some reason... and the screen is starting to annoy me... i rarely ever get headaches, so will likely whine

I am not at the list stage yet, I had a day off.

3:36 pm

me too scrabs! what happend to bichon and her clues?

3:36 pm

I had a bowel prep before my last abd/pelvic surgery and I thought I was going to die before I even got to the OR.

3:37 pm

Oooh kje, I hope sincerely it is not like the one I had this week, which involved actual vomiting and a strange pins and needles feeling to my head...

3:37 pm

((kje))....sending healing vibes to scare off the HA

3:37 pm

what id like to know is how in the heck do they expect you to drink 4 litres of peglyte in 2 hours??

3:37 pm

3:39 pm

migrain*

I love imitrex injectable, but

3:39 pm

Oxycontin, crossy?

3:39 pm

lol scrabbs

3:39 pm

*poofs in* crossy, you'll understand the pain on this - one of my friends has been in a play for the last month or so. It's 90 minutes long, and each night she has to drink 2 cans of Red Bull, 2 cans of Coke, and 2 litres of water

3:40 pm

omg

Ata why?

3:40 pm

To stay hydrated, Ata?

3:40 pm

um ... well ... *looks round for kids*

3:40 pm

id just go out and get a batch of pedialite or something

3:41 pm

it's because she plays a prostitute who specialises in watersports. so they have to show her drinking constantly to - um - get ready

3:41 pm

ahhh, a's are done

3:41 pm

so..she lets it fly onstage??!

3:41 pm

Whatever does that mean, Ata? LOL

Oh funny. Ata you know some interesting people and plays.

3:41 pm

lol

3:41 pm

ag7, ASG?

3:41 pm

nope LOL. luckily. but they have to show her drinking constantly through most of the play

3:42 pm

25 eft and will be off... back later i hope...

I think i'd fill up those red bull cans with water...

3:42 pm

extend the ag above it - add a flower

3:42 pm

Feel better quickly, kje.

3:42 pm

are there any jo's?

3:42 pm

TY, asg! Not a fish at least.

3:42 pm

she can't, cos she has to crack the cans open each evening. lol. poor kid

3:42 pm

kje!!! feel better my friend! Congrats on the class well taught!

3:43 pm

lol peeing on stage..hehe this makes me feel better and take a nice bath by candle lights with some soothing music kje..and bring a bottle of jd in with ya

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

very few fishes.

3:44 pm

4:09 pm

Well, I know that I am NOT a babe...I am not sure if I ever was either.

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

and little tootsie rolls and lollipops for the B's

4:09 pm

YES! Good choices, JBV!

4:09 pm

is this evil of me? am I the grinch of Halloween?

4:10 pm

That is B candy indeed. I want the A.

I wont be a grabber.

4:10 pm

oh those are good A's!!!!! We have Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, 100 Grand and Nestle Crunch... however, we will have no trick or treaters

I gained about 3 pounds in thee last weeks, and I fear I look a bit chunky.

4:10 pm

4:10 pm

Mr. Monkey & I will eat all the candy ourselves like lilttle piggies

Chunky is the new twiggy

I think it is Scrabbler....but I want to be a bit closer to twiggy...

YW scrab.

4:12 pm

On to the G's.

4:12 pm

just got back from the evil empire of arkansas with an armload of candy - let's all be chunky together!

4:12 pm

i prefer to look skeletal LOL

4:12 pm

im going to have to list soon..this is sad:((

4:12 pm

Share, share, pk.

Well, if I had a choice monkey skeletal would be the look I;d gofor, but its just so darn unhealthy.

4:13 pm

if your a skeleton and you get a medical issue you have no back up.remember i lost 40 pounds this time around:((

4:13 pm

i hear that illegal drugs can get you there, red LOL

4:13 pm

crosshair saw your post- the weight comes, but unfortunately it doesn't go unless i make a herculean effort

4:13 pm

i have the two en7s, what are the other 7s?

CNN is running a ticker...

4:13 pm

very true, crosshair - but also if you are overweight it is a risk for surgery -

4:14 pm

let's see, they were 2 for $4, and i don't want to run out so i probably overdid it: reese's pb cups, twix, milky way, hershey's, m&ms, smarties and kit kats, 1 bag of each

Dentists recommend limiting candy eating episodes for children...

4:14 pm

evening all, happy hallowe'en

did we need this info?

smarties, good candy!

I've now had my dinner for "tea", so I'll have my usual teatime snack for dinner

4:30 pm

46 to go

hey, ange

I am now consuming lasagne for forever until it is gone.

4:30 pm

I got a big start last night, tyger

but jilli, how did they shape and light it??

4:30 pm

sigh... not even halfway yet

hi tyger

4:31 pm

Yummy, red.

oh, okay. and this isn't a huge grid

I'm just past halfway, monk

turtle, just divide it into servings, and freeze most. otherwise you'll be sick of it before you're done

Ok not making a political statement, but I am watching news and the MAP that they have on CNN that pulls out down to the states counties is pretty cool!

I shoudl tyger, but...I am lazy.

4:32 pm

the "nose" is the stem of the round punkin, so there may be a hole in the bottom for the lighting?

I bought a big (for me) package of ground sirloin this week, and I divided off two 2-patty amounts to freeze. that left me with 3 patties. I've had two. I'll have the last burger tomorrow or Sunday, then wait a while before I thaw one of those other packs

4:33 pm

or in the back of the picture

4:34 pm

I do a lot of that making stuff and freezing single portions

tyger so organized.

I'm lazy, too, turtle, but if I didn't, most of the meat would go bad. your leftover lasagne won't be all that good toward the end

I just eat until its gone. I could probably eat same thing every day with no problem.

4:35 pm

anyone have a clue for the bottom i - I have in 4/4 and in 6/18

not really that organized - just hate waste :)

how many servings would you say you've got there?

I probably have about 5 more.

babe, you DO know that cooked food is yummy to bacteria?

even in the fridge

4:36 pm

is6/24

Oh yes, that is why you have to heat it waaaay up.

is6 is a shape, jilli

I also have a cat iron stomach after those years in africa.

but the interim activity degrades the taste

4:37 pm

thanks, jilli, I actually found it just fooling around

jilli, think of the beginning of a type of triangle and end in an eight sided thing octa***.

a cat iron? that's new to me ;D

4:37 pm

red, where were you in Africa? I forget which country

4:37 pm

tyger, I have it -- was giving the count for JBV

I never noted that! probably because I dont care. Cast iron. I am not a picky eater.

Oooh sorry Jilli.

oh, sorry

i have en 7 x 2 and gr 7, could someone tell me what the other two sevens begin with?

I just don't want you to get sick - not just an issue of taste

4:38 pm

my last 2 are the so4/4 (second one) and 5/14

I'm pretty careful, but I am proud that I only got diarrhea once in 2 years in Africa with really cruddily prepared food.

4:39 pm

one is re7/40

well, I *really* do need to get back at it. see y'all when I'm done.

I'll be here for a few, and I can clue, kim :)

5:51 pm

5:52 pm

oh, I guess gr - i have gr 4/5 pair and 5/6 pair

monk, have you got that pesky ag5 now?

5:53 pm

there's a gr7 and gr6 related to the gr5 before it

DR...that icon looks so cute - especially beside what you just said!

it's not really a bad grid, DR. just keep swinging at it :)

5:55 pm

ty Lady Natts

5:56 pm

wouldn't exactly call it a good grid, though

oh, yes. DR, your icon is adorable

5:56 pm

I am trying Tyger- I have not been here for about a week and am out of practice

well, no, dorens. it's not a *fun* grid - just not awful

5:56 pm

well, okay then, master cluers.... I am missing 2 Ys. Got the opposite of old and the fitness fad (plus plural)....

2 yu - 4 & 5

it's a Hindu concept

5:57 pm

Oh great... my husband is Hindu... how embarrassing will this be?

yu4 is an age, or an eon, or something of the sort

5:57 pm

like the yo4 and 5

yep, doren

5:58 pm

true tyger... not awful

5:58 pm

oh, thanks, dorens

actually, it's the alternate spelling of ju4 & 5

at least, I think so .....

I didn't look up the ju4, so no guarantees

5:59 pm

well the plural doesn't work on the ju version

oops, no I was wrong the ju4 is a Latin plural

I just looked

and there is no ju5 :blush:

6:01 pm

well, while we're on that subject.... I still need 3 Js :D

ja5 & 6, perhaps? :)

6:02 pm

ja + the ***ss is alwasy greener on the other side

6:02 pm

I have 2 ja5's... no ja6

6:02 pm

then pluralise that one lady

6:02 pm

awesome - thanks for that, Dorens!

6:03 pm

one J left

6:04 pm

ja + gi** not boy

6:04 pm

wow... you're good at this, Dorens! :)

6:04 pm

ty

actually, this is a kinda Hindu grid. the ja5 just clued is a state of being, and the ja6 (plural) is not a word

6:04 pm

no... thank YOU

6:04 pm

need help with the L - I have 3 la and 5 lo - what am I missing?

that ja4 is the scandinavian version of an English title of nobility

6:05 pm

may i have a clue for the re7 please?

you've got all the LAs

6:05 pm

sone lo's

6:05 pm

JBV, you may be missing the same ending you missed with the gr

6:05 pm

ok, thanks, tyger

6:06 pm

there are 8 lo's

6:06 pm

and that will get you the same L words I have... missing 3

6:06 pm

yep! thanks again Lady

6:06 pm

re + oral fight is to ar***

lo5 & 6 is a form of radiation detection

6:06 pm

i'm missing 2 now

6:06 pm

thanks so much judy. thatis my last one! i'm out. night all

6:06 pm

I have 3 la's, then lo 4, 6, 5, 4, 5, 4

6:06 pm

how did you do that?

6:06 pm

woohoo Dorens

6:06 pm

congrats, dorens!

yay, doren

6:07 pm

thanks tyger, got them!~

yw :)

6:07 pm

:( I didn't

lo5: lo + faster than walk (past tense)

6:08 pm

:) I am not much into radiation detection terminology... thanks, tyger!

then plural (but it's not a word)

yvw :chuckle:

6:09 pm

oh geez... forgot I was to make dinner reservations... brb

do you have the other lo6?

6:11 pm

The first lo6 is what you might call a rental car.

6:11 pm

that was quick... yes, tyger, I have all the Ls now

6:12 pm

I have 6 a's from the lowest a (2nd row from bottom) - one ae, 2 an's and 3 ar's - need some help please

6:12 pm

thanks to you :)

do you have ag7?

6:13 pm

yes, tyger but that;s from the upper a

yvw, natts

6:13 pm

ag7 is growth medium

I'm not good at telling where a given word starts, jbv; sorry

6:14 pm

an extension of the ag4

6:14 pm

are there any AL words?

there's a bunch of an words. what do you have of those?

no al words

6:14 pm

I have a total of 6 an's but they are not all from the bottom

6:14 pm

I have 2 an4 and 1 an5

is the an5 a spice, or a plural of an an4?

6:15 pm

spice

I do all my grids from Lickety, so I don't even pay attention to where they start

okay, then, the other an5 is a Latin plural of an4/4 right below the spice

there's an5: a + not far

which is actually the first an5, for a total of 3

6:19 pm

there are 2 aj's I'm missing... those are probably the ones JBV is looking for

my eyes are starting to bother me, so I'll have to take a break soon, probably in about 15 minutes

6:19 pm

fair enough, tyger... you've been awesome!

aj 5 & 6 are a plant and plural

6:19 pm

Lady, I have aj 4, 5, and 6 - are there more?

aj5: aj + single letter for not me + abbreviation for the state Atlanta is capital of

only 3 AJs

6:20 pm

okay... guess I was mistaken... I am missing the 5 and 6, so I thought they may be coming from that lower A

6:20 pm

how about ae - i have only one - is that it?

they have to come from the lower a, or it wouldn't work

6:21 pm

now, I am not missing them! thanks again, tyger

now that I look at it :)

Brit prefix for plane

that's the ae4

6:21 pm

no, tyger they come from the middle row a and go the left

they can start from the bottom. that's how I found them :)

6:22 pm

but I am still missing one a from that lower row I have 8 out of 9 .... hmm...

maybe you'd better go to Lickety?

6:23 pm

yes, tyger, at this point that's what I must do, but it seems a shame, I have only 7 left, but here goes....

6:23 pm

got it, JBV!!! it's an ar5 between the first ar4 and the plural of it

6:23 pm

it's a latin plural

sorry I can't help you more, but I just don't grok doing it the way you do

6:24 pm

oh, thanks, Lady, you saved me from the list - i'm trying to break a record here

6:24 pm

woohoo JBV!

6:24 pm

thanks for being patient, tyger, you were great

6:24 pm

tyger, do you have time to help me with the ag7 and the ag6?

Back from phone with parents. My poor Mam had a bad time at her Mom's funeral.

6:24 pm

not celebrating yet, still have 6 to go

sure, natts, and then I'll take that break

6:25 pm

oh, very sorry to hear that red, my condolences

so sorry, turtle

6:25 pm

oh dear, red... were they that unkind to her?

ag7: ag4/6 + the flower of love (subtract one letter)

ag6: one of 2 plurals (Latin and English) for ag5

One borhter wouldnt speak to her...but thats because of his wife who is not nice.

why would anyone be unkind to someone at their mother's funeral???? that's crazy, stupid, ugly .....

BUt she seems to be taking it well. My Dad is with her.

6:26 pm

ty tyger... gottem!!

She knew it ws going to be wierd.

yvw, natts

I agree Tyger.

GGGGGggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr. they'd better be glad I wasn't around!!!!

6:27 pm

yes, I remember your saying that. well, it's over now... she can move on.

I have one very cruel aunt by marraige. She seems to feel that everyone should love her because she did this and that.

6:27 pm

that's very unfortunate, red, funerals either bring out the best or the worst in people

what did she do that was so "wonderful"??

Exactly lady, she seems to be doing well, especially as all her neices and nephews were wonderful to her, given that she did all the photos for all their weddings...

6:29 pm

oh, that's good, red! so there are some positives :)

Back in the day when my other uncles werent doing well financially she apparently bought some clothes for hte kids...

eetc etc and somehow was miffed that she was not properly thanked.

My Mom is easy to like. She is like Milque toast.

and that's wonderful??? that seems to me to be an ordinary thing *anybody* should do who can

6:30 pm

tell me, red... is she a Cancer by chance?

6:30 pm

(the aunt, that is)

I dunno. But i am hearing now that she has an problem with aldohol...but I think shes just mean.

She also helped to get m grandparents into hospice etc...

Solomon said it all - "a wounded spirit who can bear"

yeah, sooo? again, that's what you do for family

I think there is a lot going on. But I am pleased that my Mom seems to be alright.

6:32 pm

that's the important thing, red

good for your mom! (((turtle))) and hugs to your mom, too :)

thanks.

And now back to our reguar programming....

any last clue requests before I go rest my eyes?

6:33 pm

7:11 pm

I just need my kid to come home...

7:11 pm

7:11 pm

how old is your kid, phand?

7:11 pm

13

7:12 pm

I was wiped out, jbv.

7:12 pm

I tried to talk him out of trick or treating but he really wanted to.

7:12 pm

I saw some awesome costumes tonight - really elaborate makeup too

7:12 pm

He dressed as a serial hugger

7:12 pm

HI! Kids are out trick or treating, I just got home - and we ran out of candy! My dh is at the store buying more - so I'm sneaking in a few words

my lighta re out. i heard some kids earlier but looked out and did not see any activity. i think everyone was too busy celebrating the phillies.

7:12 pm

Had to shut off th light at 7:00.

7:12 pm

I know what you mean, phand. 13 is right on the edge of being too old to trick or treat

7:13 pm

then you begin to worry about them out in the dark

yaaay phillies!

7:13 pm

He's 8th grade. I am not gonna let him do it next year.

7:13 pm

a serial hugger?

is 6 clue please?ty

7:13 pm

I didn't give out candy. Gave out note pads, pencils, stamps and goldfish.

7:14 pm

yeah, he has a sign that says "free hugs" and he sort of covered his face with a scraf, to make him look sinister

7:14 pm

Owl, is, vowel, poly***

7:15 pm

that was about as original as his diseased lung from a few years ago

ty annie.

7:15 pm

but a lot simpler to make

7:16 pm

a diseased lung...that is original...one of my grandsons is trick or treating as an unidentified traveling salesman....

7:16 pm

My 15 year old went to a harvest fest party to help and she dressed up fancy, wore glasses that spelled "cool" and had a sign with todays date on it. Can you figure out what she is?

7:16 pm

and his father is not a salesman..

7:17 pm

that's funny Annie

7:17 pm

my son is Hannah Montana -lol - and my daughter is a birthday girl with all her friends dressed up as slices of cake

7:18 pm

Wow, that sounds like fun; what cooperation!

7:18 pm

very clever, AsG

Phand, what is your daughter? I am clueless.

7:18 pm

phand what's the answer to your riddle?

7:18 pm

she's a cool date!

Ahhhh.

better a cool date than a cheap one.

7:19 pm

not sure where she came up with that idea.

7:19 pm

exactly, Red

7:19 pm

the cake is amazing - my friend is very creative and got foam board for all the pieces and felt - glue gun and all. My daughter was not into it, but LOVED the idea of being a bday girl

7:20 pm

hubby is home - bbl

7:20 pm

last year she dressed as a ceiling fan. No one got that one either; everyone thought she was a cheerleader

7:20 pm

very clever....cool date...these kids are so inventive

Oops.

7:21 pm

oops what?

7:21 pm

did you drop something, red?

Ooops on the fan...not like a cheerleader.

I am almost done Annie!

7:23 pm

7:23 pm

yeah, she painted Yeah Ceiling on her shirt and had pom poms

7:23 pm

I am such a doofus, i think I have just realized that Stephen Colbert is actually a conservative, not a liberal pretending to be a conservative!

7:39 pm

Thank you jillibus! Friday is my favorite icon day.Too bad more babblers do not give grid clues on Fridays.

It was alos Halloween!

jili: why wouldn't i?

7:40 pm

I have the Indian princess.... I am missing the 5 and 6 before that... RA?

7:41 pm

TO, you were planning an escape through Tuesday, lol!

a wekk from today

7:41 pm

Min, I usually do, but my smileyface wouldn't let me this time, heh heh

7:42 pm

O I C, TO!

7:43 pm

and Min, why do you avoid the daily icon themes?

7:43 pm

I know YOU always do jillibus.Always hope to see you on Fridays so I can see your icon clue.But I like your icon too today. It is very appropriate for Halloween.

well going now. all i hear are big kids, i don't feel so badly about not answering the door. i got no little ones earlier. have a nice babble!

7:43 pm

natts, they are also Indian princess(es), alt sp

7:44 pm

so, now we're flush w/new candy, and no more trick or treaters!!?!!

7:46 pm

it's still early here, AG, and has stopped raining, so I hope the littl'uns will have fun -- they don't come here, though -- none in the rather isolated area

7:46 pm

have had 2 customers all night

7:46 pm

no one is out here

7:46 pm

I used to be faithful to icon themes until I decided to honor celebrity birthdays.Like to see whose b-day it is. Also, since Sprite does them,I do not always know what they are. When I log on, I look at icons in chat log to find out theme. If I do not see any, then I do a celebrity birthday instead.What is tomorrow's theme

7:48 pm

min, it's Gods and Goddesses. If you go to Rankings, Sprite is always on top and you can get the theme there, or if you catcher here you can put her in your My Friends and always have her available.

7:49 pm

Oh, I didn't know I could get it from rankings.That is good to know. So I'll check that when I log on. Thanks

7:49 pm

My pleasure, min!

7:53 pm

9:59 pm

Don't forget to save it when you are done.

9:59 pm

OH! and to do the icon, there is a little thingy on the left of the "my account" page that lets you change that. Pretty self explanatory, but ask if you need help

Hello smilesoplenty!Congratulations on going pro!YAY

It says on my statement that I paid, but the flag thingie isn't showing up

i didn't have any either, which was weird.

10:27 pm

Had fewer than last year .. some candy left over .. Reese's cups ..

10:28 pm

seems several had leftovers!

10:28 pm

I will trade you some milky ways...

10:28 pm

maybe this means halloween is just sort of dying out gradually as an institution

10:28 pm

It's getting diluted ..

10:28 pm

it was raining here.

10:29 pm

I think there are more grownups having parties

10:29 pm

Halloween isn't a season .. It's a DAY ..

10:30 pm

my husband bought FOUR BAGS of candy and now i have a giant bowl of chocolate sitting by me...

10:30 pm

A NIGHT actually ..

10:31 pm

must tell you what my grandson (age 29) in Montreal said: "happy halloween to you too. Are you dressing up? Get any kids up there on your street? We're going to Grumpys (no apostrophe) for their annual halloween shindig. I took a picture of my face, printed it life size, glued it to some cardboard and strapped it to my head making a mask of my own face. The effect is really bizarre It's pretty good, if I may say so" myself.

10:31 pm

I like it jilli! *s*

10:32 pm

That's kewl ..

10:32 pm

i'm getting old

10:33 pm

not as old as me, hursh :)

10:33 pm

Not as old as a lot of folks, missy ..

10:33 pm

well, yes, but, older enough so i notice that i'm different. was reading the yale daily news today and thought the kids were weird

10:34 pm

thing is, he used to get mistaken for Johnny Depp -- now it's Justin Trudeau (son of Pierre, which will mean nothing to un-Canadians) except he's 6'2"

10:34 pm

It's completely natural ..

10:35 pm

i know i would have found some of the articles amusing when i was in college, and now i think they are dull, naive, and overly sure of themselves

10:35 pm

Welcome to adulthood ..

10:35 pm

par for the course, hursh -- get over it, lol!

10:35 pm

thank you

10:36 pm

i don't mind it - i'm just... tasting the novelty

10:37 pm

Most of the crap I churned out in my youth looks so *immature* now ..

10:37 pm

i've always wanted to be old anyway, so this is a good thing

10:37 pm

*ALL* of the crap ..

10:37 pm

what crap? writing? painting?

10:38 pm

My crappy writing, songs, comics .. very juvenile ..

10:39 pm

you know, i think that is the most impressive thing about professional writers - there's nothing worse than reading stuff you've written - even a year later - and yet somehow they manage to live with themselves.

10:39 pm

I was a ninny ..

10:40 pm

you went from ninny to imp

10:40 pm

I'm an imp ..

10:40 pm

You're up late ..

10:41 pm

10:45 pm

voting voting voting, rawhide

10:45 pm

we need a few more "lurkers" to say hello her!

10:46 pm

String 'em up! Vote 'em out! Mix it up! Rawhide!

10:47 pm

hi FG! just finished...and I'm now ranked in all three lists! (twas my goal when I rejoined the world of Babble)..now I can rest easy!...at least for a n hour!

10:47 pm

10:48 pm

Hi Hursh, Torgone!

10:48 pm

10:48 pm

Heya PAV ..

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

Feh ..

10:49 pm

hi all - how's the grid?

10:49 pm

Happy Halloween!

10:49 pm

HI Jilli!...off to walk Joey before the tv show starts and then I'll be back after the flip! bbl!

10:49 pm

you're so articulate, tor

10:49 pm

It stinks ..

10:50 pm

the grid is one of those paralyzing-amount-of-vowels grids

10:51 pm

The only cats I liked were outdoor ro5/16s who killed mice ..

10:51 pm

hi nrkii -- hardly ever see you these days!

10:52 pm

Jilli, hi. I'm pulling myself in a thousand directions

10:52 pm

I'm glad this weekend I have no plans (now that I survived Halloween) and I can vegetate

10:52 pm

why, nrk?

10:52 pm

We had over 500 trick-or-treaters tonight

10:53 pm

OMG!!!! I had none!

10:53 pm

I have half a bowl of candy left .. Who wants some?

10:54 pm

I have one emergency bag of candy left -- went through a TON tonight... finally had to close up shop at 8:30 because I was exhausted and I had company and we hadn't eaten dinner yet

10:54 pm

It was a ton of fun, but very tiring

10:55 pm

torg, I had the purrfect cat -- never hunted a bird just a lovebug (with Gt Danes too)

10:56 pm

I really miss my girl, almost 19 when she'd had enough

10:57 pm

she was so beautiful (see my flickrs)

10:58 pm

ok, I'll shuddup awreddy

10:59 pm

I've had one cat in my house .. My ex got it from a friend of hers who had a farm .. He was an outdoor cat and she tried to bring it indoors .. It didn't get along with her stupid dog and humanity in general .. we gave it back ..

10:59 pm

sorry jilli... I'm having trouble staying awake... was making green-colored deviled eggs at midnight last night... didn't get to sleep till 2

11:00 pm

tor, I love the sentence "it didn't get along with her stupid dog and humanity in general"

11:01 pm

our first cat was a black one with yellow eyes -- we called him Halloween, Weenie for short when he was a kitten. He ran away.

11:02 pm

Guess we would have called him Hal when he grew up

11:03 pm

She had an incredibly pampered dog that I inherited when we got married that drove off several of my dogs ..

11:03 pm

Like the one in the space Odyssey, ruling us

11:03 pm

bad scene, torg!

11:04 pm

that would have been good jilli

11:05 pm

but it was before the book/movie

11:05 pm

I'm sorry, Dave .. I can't let you do that ..

11:05 pm

spooky

11:06 pm

Has everyone here finished?

11:06 pm

ugh, I can't keep my eyes open

11:06 pm

I just started, but I am personally finished

11:07 pm

awww, nrk!

11:07 pm

as in done... done in... cooked

11:07 pm

nm, nrk, it's a stinky grid

11:07 pm

stick a fork in you?

11:07 pm

yep, stick a fork in me...

11:07 pm

have a good night all!

11:08 pm

you're rare, nrk :D

11:08 pm

night nrk

11:08 pm

:) Jilli!

11:08 pm

hello goat -- who are you?

11:09 pm

i used to play babble maybe about 6 (?) years ago, just came back last week

11:09 pm

welcome back -- will you stay this time?

11:10 pm

probably for a little while, jilli :)

11:10 pm

things have changed a lot since then

11:11 pm

everyone plays in their jammies now, goat!

11:11 pm

time to change my icon for the next theme -- gods and goddesses....

11:11 pm

whee! that's good, since that's what I'm wearing

11:12 pm

not me yet, fungi -- only 9:12 pm

11:12 pm

seems later though

11:12 pm

when i first played i don't think we had lickety, and there was definitely no pro upgrade

11:12 pm

goye

11:12 pm

oops

11:13 pm

and no BabbleExpert, goat -- a wondrous thing

11:14 pm

babble expert?

11:15 pm

Everything on one page -- Lickety, grid, chat, plus a box where if you enter one word it goes to your list and Lickety's; if you enter more than one word it goes to chat -- and many other features

11:16 pm

ahhh, i haven't upgraded to pro, so i don't have all the fanciness

11:16 pm

like links to icon themes, morwords, etc etc

11:17 pm

pro is a bargain at 14.95 one time

11:17 pm

oh, it's not bad at all, but I got laid off recently, money is tight.

11:18 pm

Expert is a Lickety invention, not Dr_God's

11:18 pm

bummer, goat

11:18 pm

ahh, gotcha

11:18 pm

it's not bad. i'm spending my time well, taking courses, figuring out what I want to do next.

11:19 pm

what field, goat?

11:21 pm

good question!

11:22 pm

what job did you get laid off from? (gorgeous grammar)

11:25 pm

well, I guess i'll go for that next icon... back later

11:26 pm

see you soon jilli

11:27 pm

i was an office manager, but I really don't see myself in admin/management positions full time. i'd take a bookkeeping job part time or something like that, but I'm thinking about changing career paths to something more environmentally focused.

11:29 pm

ague

11:29 pm

darn!!!

11:32 pm

Here's the new icon if you refresh -- long story but fun :)

11:33 pm

goat -- that sounds good. Were there icons when you played before?

11:36 pm

anyone want clues?

11:36 pm

I don't think so jilli

11:37 pm

so goat, if you click on the icons you get lots of info :)

11:40 pm

oh! wow!

11:41 pm

stick around for more icons -- FunGuy is rather reticent, lol

11:43 pm

I just think!

11:47 pm

well, we are moving out in less than 2 weeks, we have broken our lease... and we had third open house today. Guess what? Not a soul turned up... Sydney is in a rental crisis at the moment (not enough rental properties, too many people looking to rent), and not a person came through.... ON A SATURDAY!

12:00 am

PK, tired, going to bed, see you later dudettes!

12:00 am

bye kje

12:00 am

bye kje

12:00 am

oh, phooey, mrp! Better luck next time!

12:00 am

oh geeze, mrp. did you have any luck with your landlord bringing the rent down to something more reasonable?

12:01 am

night kje glad to hear you're getting some sleeep!

12:01 am

the property manager has told me to my face more than three times that the rent is way too expensive and that is why no one is coming to look... they will speak to the landlord on monday to try and get the rent reduced to a 'reasonable' rate

12:06 am

good luck with it
