I hope that works for me, too hurshy. I have a TON of stuff to do tomorrow, and this is going to be ugly

12:44 am

:) pav

12:45 am

never can tell, trif. try for 15 mins. if it doesn't start making you yawn, try something else - like reading, maybe? If I read for a while, especially if it's not something I find intensely interesting, I get sleepy :)

12:45 am

heavens, hursh! just noticed your 200 -- and more now I guess

12:45 am

> halfway...and Joey's having a "chase" dream...wonder if it's a cat or another dog...

I'm sorry, did I say something?

12:52 am

well, I'm gone. after I have snack & pills, if I come back, it'll be to Lickety. nytol

12:52 am

i'm surprised the old-guys-driving-around-in-little-cars -in-parades word isn't a word

12:53 am

LOL *poof*

12:53 am

I get that the um...scatological word is accepted, but why isn't it accepted with a vowel at the end? I have heard lots of brits and irish people say it.....

12:53 am

i'm having troubles with the A's

12:53 am

Speaking of the old guys, we had our town Christmas parade tonight...

12:54 am

Trif..I think it's because it's rude and impolite to say it correctly in public...

12:54 am

ah, there's some

there was something going on here as well, Jellen...created traffic nightmare for hours....

12:56 am

We had the old guys driving around in little boats...

12:59 am

And tomorrow, we're going to see White Christmas at the historical theatre in town.

12:59 am

it is rude to say the british version, pav?

12:59 am

sounds like great fun Jellen

1:00 am

not if you're British...?

1:00 am

I think I might actually enjoy the holidays this year!

2:02 am

uh trif...go to bed then

2:02 am

oh, I am so embarrassed

2:03 am

all you did was retrying to reenter :) All the rest is the fault of the site.

2:03 am

don't be embarrassed, trif -- happened to us all

2:03 am

but now my whining about my ridonkulous insomnia is going to be in the chat log. ugh

2:03 am

I can vouch for that

2:03 am

glad you liked glenda, ruru, lol

2:05 am

they are such a nice breed of dogs

2:05 am

my V is not working properly, refuses to work about 5 out of 6 times. Usually that is not a problem. But in this grid...

2:06 am

sprite, that is a really bummer. ick

HI. I am not here I have to check my email. I just wanted to shate my icon

HI. I am not here I have to check my email. I just wanted to shar e my icon

HI. I am not here I have to check my email. I just wanted to share my icon

2:06 am

you should see me pounding on the keyboard, lol

SORRY.

2:07 am

hi herin. your icon is lovely!

2:07 am

beautiful, lady! And good for both themes, too, because of the colour.

thanks

2:08 am

very pretty herin

I am sorry my pc had a fit

2:09 am

please - scroll down, you can see my delightful entries

2:09 am

lol Trif

Nice Hiccup there Trifs

2:10 am

oh, i am so woeful right now. wicked insomnia, and I have to host the church coffee hour tomorrow at nine. AND of course Mr. Hate will be there, as it's his weekend with the kids, and I am gonna be a TROLL

2:11 am

Herin, that's a beautiful icon and beautiful thought

2:11 am

((((((((Trif)))))))

Oh well. ''Just say Im sorry im such a grumpy pants no sleep. ''

Thanks Jill and our colours match

2:12 am

trif, don't be woeful

2:12 am

yes, herin, they do. lol!

2:12 am

Trif, casually slip the magic words: "didn't sleep much last night, but man I had the most wonderful sex"

LOL SPRITE. that is brilliant.

2:13 am

Oh, how much do I LOVE that idea???? and I think I will add "but I admire how you always look so well rested" at the end, if you don't mind

2:13 am

wow that is the killer punchline :D

2:13 am

Well, I'm not seeing any of the 82 words I still need, so off to bed I go.

NIght Jill

2:14 am

sleep well, dear jilli! And dream of 81 flamingos standing guard in your garden... *hugs*

my silly net

2:14 am

sad truth: in the bed now? dog and 12 year old daughter....thank god it's a king, they both kick....got pillows right down the middle

2:14 am

nite Jilli

2:14 am

Oh I hope I don't, sprite, gaaa!

Trifs go sleep in her bed

2:14 am

well if that is the case I could do without some sleep...

2:15 am

no way! no tv in there....

2:15 am

*giggles at jilli* would be funny though!

2:15 am

two treasures in your bed, Trif, that is not such a bad deal ;)

2:16 am

with whirling wings too....

2:16 am

sprite, you have the most charming outlook on life. I think I might want to be you when I grow up!

2:16 am

argh no, they would make a terrible noise, jilli!

OH. I got called a Princess today

2:16 am

in the good way, herin?

2:16 am

wtg, herin!

not sure on that. But yes i tend to be a princess

2:17 am

lol Trif, no you won't!

2:17 am

I'm just going to try and forget all about flamingoes now, haha

2:17 am

then we are sisters, lady

2:17 am

night all *poof*

2:18 am

jilli, I will send you a better dream. Of a peaceful swan on a beautiful lake, and you sitting next to a dear friend who tells the best jokes ever.

You can have the chair Sprite..

2:18 am

mmmmmm, sprite *repoof*

2:18 am

nah we are sisters, so we can share, lady.

Ta. Gosh people on facebook are irritating. I put up a high i have free egg and now im getting friends requests even though I don't know them or want to be friended

2:19 am

btw, lady, you are in the grid (herin)

YAH.

So know i have to polietly say no thanks

2:22 am

oh my I found an 8. I think I am gonna love this grid.

Yah

2:24 am

this is odd. the first word I found in the grid was the yo4. it shows up in the Babble word list, but the Y tile is not greyed out.

Sprite you don't use facebook?

Angel how about refresh?

2:24 am

a force-refresh might solve that, angel

2:25 am

lady: no I don't. I have a page, but I got way too many requests and all, took me too much time to keep it up.

Fair enough. I am getting people requesting friends via Hatchlings its really annoying me

2:28 am

he who does a poop and plural are not valid??

That is what i thought

2:29 am

enable never fails to amaze me

2:29 am

teevee isn't either, though I have seen that used

that word is also slang for the toilet in some parts of the US, sprite

Hi Trifs

2:30 am

makes sense, josh

it is here to.

2:31 am

forced refresh did not fill in the Y.

2:32 am

how very odd. And closing babble completely and then reopening it?

2:32 am

the brit/irish version of the word isn't usable either, which I think is so weird.

2:33 am

I think enable is the most random dictionary ever, grin.

2:34 am

*note to self: oreo has never been valid, quit trying it, silly*

2:34 am

i know, right? I am the same with phantoms. arise isn't in the grid. Please stop entering it, elizabeth....

2:35 am

lol yes, same here. And the z variant that is there, but of course not valid.

As i am an adult im having pringles and choc for tea

2:37 am

I wonder if I even KNOW 17 V words in english. This is an interesting grid.

2:38 am

lovely, lady

We have kind of been munching all day

2:39 am

that must be empathy, lady. It is the day after Sinterklaas here and there are lots of goodies to munch left. The kids are having a ball!

2:40 am

*left to munch

2:41 am

I wonder if Angelsong has trouble coming back to us?

maybe

Wonderful Sprite

oh holly heck 74 S words

2:45 am

lol quite a few huh

I shouldn't have counted that

2:46 am

If a person with a Cockney accent were to call singer Ricky Nelson's mother by her first name, she would be ar7/28.

2:46 am

good, so you made it back, Angelsong. Y problem solved?

haha Angle did you fix it?

2:47 am

yes, finally it's correct, sprite

Angel even

2:47 am

good

All we need now is the ING ending and we would be here all day

2:48 am

omg yes

2:48 am

I have a typed list of 16 pages of freeware and open source software for windows now.

2:48 am

that R in the bottom right corner could have been a G... argh!

OH yes

2:49 am

can someone help me with two a words in the corner... I am missing two...

2:49 am

I think they are bigger words..

as 5 12 the colour white

2:51 am

have the as 5/12's .. I think it is a bigger one

2:51 am

I still need 4, am sorry, ruru

do you have the superlatives, ruru

2:51 am

the one Angel just clued maybe?

2:52 am

I think it is before or after a flower

2:52 am

yes I do josh..

on Ar?

2:52 am

I have two ar's

i am missing 2 A's and i also have 2 ar's

maybe we are missing the same ones

2:53 am

I have 3 ar words

2:53 am

darn.. these are my last two

2:54 am

hey herin, I am going to *try* to sleep now. Catch up tomorrow, hopefully?

I have no idea im working on the A words

my a's go 4, 7, 5, 5, 6, 7, 5

Working on the S words.

2:54 am

is there a big one sprite

2:54 am

I have ar + leg part

2:54 am

ar4, 7 and 6

2:54 am

oh there is an ar 7

2:54 am

as I said then, ruru, the one Angel clued

Yes Trifs

2:55 am

sleep well, Trif. And good luck tomorrow.

2:56 am

that was one of them thanks sprite and angel wherever you are

2:56 am

and 2x as7

OH I forgot to tell you all that one of the sisters J said I sound alike with A the other sister

2:57 am

I have the most ashy.. could you clue me on the other as 7?

2:58 am

abnormal loss of strength, ruru

2:58 am

that is so nice, lady. Blood will tell!

but we have never met that is the weird thing

3:01 am

yeah.. done.. without lickety for the first time on a big grid

3:01 am

wtg ruru! Good job!

wooot Ru

3:02 am

there is hope for me sprite

3:02 am

hey sprite..that strength clue gives me an 8...not 7...what am i doing wrong?

3:02 am

never doubted that, ruru :)

3:02 am

someone with anorexia might be said to be ov8/60

HI Rollin

3:03 am

other form maybe? This one ends in a corner

3:03 am

hey herin

Morning very breifly! The bakfiets is here and it is AWESOME! Hi Sprite!

so there is an As 7 and an AS 8?

3:03 am

yup..ty

3:04 am

no lady, the as8 is NOT in this grid

3:04 am

heya MonkeyG, I am so glad for you!

I paid 350 Euros for this. An identical one sold through the same classifieds site yesterday for 1100 Euros.

3:04 am

fireworks for me.

3:04 am

gratz Angelsong

3:05 am

wow MonkeyG, that is a real bargain

3:05 am

night everyone have a good time..

3:05 am

night ruru, sleep well

Oh, and my weight loss has crossed the 25-pound mark, and we just saw a red squirrel and three red deer in the woods. Looks like it's shaping up to be a pretty good day!

Night, ruru!

3:06 am

things are on a turning point, MonkeyG! Let's jump on the good wave and enjoy the ride!

YAH Monkey that is wonderful

Oh, I see what the theme is... well, in a couple of hours I will have a photo of the bakfiets to put up.

You said it, Sprite! Wheeee!!!!!

clue for the not whitest clue

3:07 am

absolutely, MonkeyG! One more thing to be grateful about, and so very necessary for you. Btw, brilliant work on the weight loss.

Thanks! I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal.

3:08 am

good grieve... will there be anything left of you after you reach your goal ?

I would like to weigh about 65 kilos.

3:09 am

lady, I don't understand your question?

Monkey how tall are you?

So that means I need to lose 20 kilos still. Guess I am a tad farther than 1/3 of the way... I have lost 11 1/2 kilos so far.

I am 165 cm, or about 5'5".

Sorry. Can I have a clue for the AS 7 not the whitest one

3:10 am

as + not now but **** and a vowel.

Ok. That is about standard for your height

Thankyou. I wouldn't have got that if i hadn't asked

Back in a bit, my aunt just came online.

3:11 am

yvw

3:11 am

bfn Monkey and enjoy the bakfiets

grumble my net is not working

She;'s not answering. Just looked up th edeer and my mistake-- they were not red deer, they were roe deer. They were leaping around and around in a field JUST the other side of a tiny canal from us.

3:14 am

MonkeyG, seeing deer in our country is always a delight, no matter what they are called :D

Oh yes, I got very excited.

3:15 am

was Walter with you?

Yes. He really enjoyed it too. He didn't understand how unusual it is so I was more exceited but so it goes!

He did really enjoy the squirrel.

Oh wonderful Monkey I like the sound of that

3:16 am

kids of his age still live in wonderland.

3:16 am

that is, if they get the chance, of course.

Him especially (gets it from bth parents).

3:17 am

good morning

HI Trisha

3:17 am

morning trisha

3:17 am

yes and a great family to grow up in, MonkeyG :D

the woods today we stopped at an invisible supermarket and bought all sorts of things, and carried them home. Then we stopped at a fallen tree to unlock its door and let Daddy out.

Hi Trisha!

3:18 am

oops....will not be mronig for her..lady

3:18 am

delightful

I love your little boys imagination

3:18 am

3:19 am

3:21 am

3:22 am

something inside of me melts when I hear South-African. It is one of the gentlest languages I know.

3:22 am

Sprite often i can use Afrikaans to easily understand the Dutch words

OK, Walter is done with snack time, so I will get some non-woods-besmudged clothes on him and we'll be headed out to move the back wheel lock to the new bakfiets and test it out on the route to school we'll need to take tomorrow. Be back later! Have fun all!

3:22 am

ursh where in SA are you?

3:23 am

Trisha I am Durban and you?

3:23 am

3:23 am

also durban ursh...

3:24 am

Ok lets get closer - i am in Westville

3:24 am

ursh, same goes for me the other way 'round. But South-African is much more gentle to listen to for me.

3:24 am

yup...am just up the road in hillcrest

I think i should not do this im so brain dead

3:25 am

i like the flemish sprite...not that i can understand it all when they really get going......

3:25 am

Well great - the Americans British and Canadians often of babble get togethers - so now we can too

3:25 am

MonkeyG showed us a picture of the bakfiets, so we all should know the word by now, lolol.

3:26 am

sorry often * do get togethers

3:26 am

oh yes, flemish is great too. I have the same problem understanding it when they talk fast, but the sound is so gentle and sweet.

3:26 am

and i cant find anymore words will have to get the list

3:26 am

3:26 am

3:32 am

3:32 am

I did it on my credit card and had no problems at all

3:33 am

3:33 am

3:34 am

I have to be off, hair to wash, clothes to put on, grave to visit of a friend that died 10 years ago. We got together to remember him together and then decided to chip in for a beautiful bowl with plants to put on his grave.

It is

5:32 am

good morning

5:34 am

hi eva

Hi Eva and Merp

5:36 am

It snowed last night here. First of the year. It is quiet out

5:37 am

i don't like this grid today. too many e's. my vocabulary seems to be lacking in words full of e's.

Yes, cliff, I don't like words that begin with vowels. This is slow going today.

5:38 am

and way too many re's!!

5:38 am

we are supposed to be getting snow up here today but right now it is just that nasty freezing rain. hi samantha.

hi all, it's the 74 S's that are worrying me

Y'all are depressing me . . . .

HI Sam

I love my b.f hes a smarty pants

Hiya lady

5:40 am

i've only managed to get a hundred (easy) words so far

5:41 am

Does anyone have clues for the two big ze"s?

I love this man to bits

I'm at a hundred and thirteen, with a pathetic number of sevens, one eight, and no nines yet

what is the length Jai

ze6 & 7 are what you get from the rind of citrus fruit

5:42 am

6 & 7

ze6/33 is nothings

5:42 am

morning everyone

hiya

5:43 am

hi katie

hi Katie, you finished downloading?

Hi Kate. I am nesting

5:44 am

Thanks, Chrissie- never heard of those!

5:44 am

Yep, it took forever last night, I still have to download it onto my iphone yet

5:44 am

nesting?

yw jai

yep.

are you pregnant herin?

Its when one makes the house all pretty and liveable.

5:45 am

Oh that's really nice herin. I have just been to the toy service at Church so am in a really good mood

I'm not a nester, herin. I look at the houses of those who are and I alternate between envy and horror.

OH wonderful Katie.

Sam we have 1 couch in the lounge. 2 bedrooms full of shite and I really want a cabinet to display my breakables as we have a cat we can't have open shelves

5:47 am

I get the 'nesting' feeling sometimes and drive hubby mad! we put up decorations yesterday so that's me done until we go on holiday :-) I love cooking a proper Sunday Lunch every week though which keeps me in check

5:47 am

ooh,some nice long easy words form that first o!

I see, herin. We have a ton of furniture because M shops when he's depressed. LOL

ok, feeling guilty now, off to do some "nesting" myself, bbl

5:48 am

Lol Chrissie

. . . . There are long words from that first O? OK, I *really* hate words that start with vowels.

5:49 am

I sorted my clothes out on Friday so that's my decluttering done for a while

5:49 am

this is easy though Samanthathey all come from the o4/7 and aren't weird babble words

I'll work on it, Eva; thanks. I onlt have the fives that start with that but it's a start

5:50 am

hmmmm have the 4/7 but only 2 5s from it, will go back and think some more

KAtie I was encouraged by hm today

5:51 am

hm?

him bf

5:52 am

there are two 7's, three 8's and a 9 from it too katie

5:52 am

Oh dear I could be on the O for some time!

5:53 am

Oh got a 7 :-)

Katie they're COMPOUNDS! *headslap* I'm a little slow today

5:54 am

and the second part of both compounds begins with the same letter

5:54 am

now got another 7,8 & 9,7 & 8 so only missing one of the 8s

5:55 am

got them all now, thanks eva

I resent that ov4/7 + sh5/12 is not a word. As one who's too often blurted out TMI, I like to think of it as a near-hobby of mine

5:55 am

yw-fun once you get going

5:56 am

I hope bf is nesting as well herin?

Yes. He is that one that went Lets get those curtains they match the tiles

5:57 am

still missing lots of s's

5:57 am

hubby is cleaning the kitchen - I am letting him!!

6:01 am

just realised there are 50 from the s, at least I know where I need to concentrate

HEY! I'm more than halfway with NBT! YIPPEE!!

(I've actually been there for a while, but I just realized it)

6:02 am

congrats sam

there is 74 S words

It's not much of a goal, but it's mine :)

6:03 am

yep I'm going to work on the 50 s first and move on to the other one later :-)

6:03 am

i was on a roll with the s's, then my kitty Aurora jumped in my lap. now typing one handed.

Hello pretty kitty

Katie I am a huge fan of freecycle but we just cant get what we want there

6:05 am

cliff I know how you feel, when crumble sits on my lap she puts her head on my right hand and falls asleep whicy means that typing is virtually impossible, luckily she is out playing in the frost with her sisters at the moment

6:05 am

what is freecycle herin?

Its a website were free stuff is given away.

6:06 am

Oh I know what you mean now we talked about it about a year ago

So far I ahve gotten a free vcr for us and a washing machine for a friend both working fine

the site is www.freecycle.org

There's also a "free" section on Craigslist, herin, and there's valuable stuff being given away there. Mostly it's people who need things gone in a hurry.

We don'[t have Craigslist in Aus

6:08 am

i think my brain needs both hands typing to work properly.

. . . How do you LIVE without Craigslist? *gasp* *choke*

6:08 am

I touch type so as soon as one hand is out of action I take ages to enter any words

Thanks Sam. It is here

6:09 am

same here katie

wow I didn't realise we had it in aus

6:09 am

there's a free section on Craigslist. I can't see it

6:10 am

Oh you are in the grid herin :-)

I was gonna say--if for some reaosn it doesn't exist in Aus, that's a business opportunity waiting to happen :)

Yes. ANd i have realised most of the Free stuff in craigs list is poo

Yes. ANd i have realised most of the Free stuff in craigs list is poo

"Free" is listed with the other things, in alphabeticalorder, under the "For Sale" category. Non-intuitive, but true

Sam most of the free stuff i just saw in Aus is poo

You know, seriously, you're right, herin. It's much better inmy city. I'm looking at sydney's CL, and the free section is a joke. In austin, for example, it's useful

http://austin.craigslist.org/zip/ You want a free cast iron bathtub? LMAO

I use Freecycle as they don't allow you to recycle pets. Im sorry if you give up a pet for a lame reason its recycling

mmmm tub

I see three, free working televisions listed today, the smallest of which is 27 inches.

And a piano!

OK, enough with the Craigslist blow-by-blow

We have a piano. We are minding it

I scored a 7kg washing machine for my friend off freecycle works well. Today we picked up a vcr

That's great. It is so true that one man

's trash, etc. etc.

My friends housemate moved out and took with her her stuff which included the fridge and washer. It was costing them about $20 a pop at the laundry matt as she cant dry stuff at her place

Why didn't she hang dry?

HEy we have a green cast iron tub up for grabs here too.

Oh, now,that's COOL, herin!

I did say but my message got eaten. Ok. She is with a guy that lives in a house. He doesn't have a machine nor the time to wash stuff. She has the time as she works weird hours but lives in a cottage (which is awesome) and no usuable back yard

Yeah, it looks like circumstances just don't permit. It's great that you found the w/d combo, though!

his place is huge. Hers is small. She doesn't even have room for a real kitchen. I love her place though

Tiny houses are sometimes the most charming, livable places

See we got for free out entertainment unit, tv, playstation and games, coffee table and kitchen table. But no one has got the other items i would like

Hey I just found the second nine--(Have I mentioned that I'm a little slow today?)

i haven't found one

I've been here quite a bit longer than you, I think :) They're an OV and an IN, if you want to know

I figured that it was an OV as i asked

Did you? I missed that; I was concentrating on the grid for a good long time. You want clues?

I found that OV as i spoke to you but i thought driving not cooking (well thats what i think)

6:28 am

half way, I'm off to enjoy a sunday with hubby. BBL to list and try for fireworks :-)

You have a great day, Katie!!!

6:29 am

does the ov 9 start with the word meaning on top of?

yes, bichon

enjoy Katie

6:30 am

ty Sam

woot i got the 9 i forgot to plural

Bichon, I am madly iin love with your icon

yay herin!

ANd off that ov 9 i got a stack of words

6:33 am

Sam, I love it. Can't bear to change it. I think I'll keep it for 4 years and hoping for 8

Yeah, that's a surprisingly good portion of the sevens, eights, and nines

OH did you know you can make playdoh with Jello

Yay Bichon!

. . . Jello?

Jell - O

http://www.recipegoldmine.com/ This sis the site

Why would one do that instead of using flour and water and the other usual stuff?

No idea. I used to eat playdoh as a kid

(and glag)

6:36 am

Sam, Just looked at your icon and I approve. Good one

Thank you, bichon. I likes it myself

clag glue

OK, infer, I just looked and it seems it's still flour and the usual, but the Jello is being used as a way to flavor and/or color it, which is fine.

Except that's a little more salt than I would want any child to eat--GLAG indeed!

yep. I am used to USA translations of sites

HALF A CUP of salt per cup water and flour?

I never said i was normal

glag

Well the idea is you put the playdoh in your mouth and your reaction is YUCKIE salty

But coloring it makes it more fun, I s'pose--though I would just use food coloring, I think it's cheaper here.

Here is a shameless plug for the animal rescue site gift store: http://tinyurl.com/2ucr6u

Has Lickety been around today? I've done three words in the last twenty minutes

crap i forgot to pay my net bill and its cutting in and out on me

yes list is up

If it weren't for direct payments, wherein they pull money right out of my bank account, I'd never pay anything on time. LOL

I don't like direct debit. Its just that i get paid on a Sat and the only way to pay the bill is at the bank or post offices. I forgot to go to the bank today, only a select few branches are open

Diff'rent strokes and all that. Direct debit saves my credit rating

Post offices really irritate me. They mostly close at midday on Sats which is a pain

I don't have a credit rating.

I'm used to that here. I'm rural; our PO isn't even open on saturdays. I have to drive twenty miles to one that is

Ah. In America it's very hard to not have a credit rating, and it's generally easier to have a bad one than to not have one at all.

Oh. I am about 30 min from every were

I'm about thirty minutes from nowhere. LOL

Well I don't have one as im on disability pension. If i can't afford it I don't have it (Except my pc which is being bought back off my b.f(he got the loan)

got it

yep. Its easy to live when you haven't got much to start with

Did the dogs have a hope of sniffing out that deer yesturday?

oh lordy now. the deer know better by now than to come in the yard

the whole lot smells like dog!

What sort of dogs do you have?

We have two mutts

Both of them from mixed-breed "rescue" groups

cute

YAH. for rescue mutts. Mine is a dumpster kitty

Rescue dogs come with their own set of "issues", but then what dog doesn't? One's an Australian Shepherd mix and the other is either a Newfoundland mix or a Border Collie mix--no, we really can't tell

Maybe she's a Newfoundland/Border Collie mix!

Oh well. I love rescue animals. Ours is permantly screwed up

Do tell me about your furry little fluffbucket!

6:57 am

te 7/28 please?

6:57 am

good morn' all

Hi Lynn

Well my g.f found her behind a bin (see my flickr for size) when she was a palm sized princess. As she couldn't have a cat another girl took her. This sub human then lost her house moved into a caravan with her and lost interest in the kitten. She was always hungry and had a dirty litter box most of the time. She would yowl alot as she was so lonely. We took her in at about the 6month mark. She gets awfully unhappy if she loses us in the house. If she sees us and then we vanish (go back to bed) she yowls

opps pardon my long post

Oh, dear, herin, abandonment issues can be tough to get around--one of our dogs has a leeetle problem with that

Lynn I dont ahve it sorry

Hi JM

7:39 am

if I catch ours sleeping together they always look so guilty. I have started to lay out my holiday clothes so one bedroom is out of bounds which only leaves them two bedrooms, the train room, lounge, dinning room and kitchen as th*** own, you would think I was making them sleep in the shed the fuss they have made ov** it

7:40 am

you evil mom!!

7:40 am

in two weeks time they are being left home alone, that is when I am a really evil mom

7:41 am

they will really hate you then!

good morning jmc

7:42 am

it's funny when we come back. Rhubarb really wants to sulk but Crumble gives in so easily that even though she is not happy Rhubarb has to give in

7:42 am

awwwwww

7:42 am

Casty doesn't care as long as we leave the heating on and makes sure someone feeds her!

Awwe

7:43 am

Sily just gives immediately lol. She just flings herself at me! The one thing she takes a while to forgive me for is fleaing her. THen she won't look at me for about 3 days

Five words left

7:43 am

I do feel guilty leaving them though, we can't mention them for the first few days of the holiday otherwise I get all teary (must remember to get a life!!)

7:55 am

I did get in a spot of bother for laughing when they told us about them. We had been in meeting for two hours as we discussed water voles, badgers, newts, bats and nesting birds and we had found strategies for all of them but the ha*** were the last straw, I just thought of that scene from watership down with the bulldozers and started to giggle

7:55 am

gah, silly transliterations from greek!

7:56 am

thanks sam, very strange words

7:56 am

there are trike updates? I missed.

He just joined recently , he's set for deployment in Jan. 2010

8:01 am

lucky you!

Lucky me? or someone else?

8:01 am

trike update? what is a trike update?

8:02 am

MG has a new trike. We've been hearing about it every 3 minutes for the last week

8:02 am

I also missed the clueing angst

8:02 am

Ohhhh I see :-)

By now, the trike should be getting to be old conversation.

I also missed the clue angst, but I knew about it....

8:03 am

you would think!

I did get a bit happy when I got ne shoes, but...

new.

8:03 am

the normal, katie. "We hate silly clues" "We are entitled to silly clues!" etc repeat. a lot.

8:04 am

I saw someone chuntering on about over clueing the other day but just ignored it

8:04 am

well, best of luck. We've done 2 and you get through it with family friends and the grace of God. Anyways, it's nice to meet another army wife!

8:04 am

lo lyes, but that was just excitement and look what I've got! not continual updates about how they worked while running for 3 weeks after!

8:05 am

lol crossy no care about cluing angst!:) anyone who needs 5 clues for the same word? im yer guy lol

WOuld you like an update Ata? I can provide ;)

8:06 am

go on then. tell us *everything*. how are they? do youlike them? how do they compare to previous shoes? how do they make you *feel*? :P

same here , I intend on moving back home when he leaves I can't stay here alone w/o my family !

8:06 am

hey if you like I could mention the 5 swimsuits I have bought ov** and ov** and ov** again :-)

The only complaint I have is there are 2 people who come on and dont really chat they just ask for clue after clue after cluer. Katie you bought 5???? darn you are helping the economy.

8:06 am

are they tiny? are they cute? are they anught but a bit of string in the back? lol

8:06 am

naught*

8:06 am

LOL, crossy

8:07 am

crossy I am a size 20 so they certainly are not tiny!!!!!!

8:07 am

see what you've started, katie!!! :P

Atually to be honest Ata, I am not sure I can be bothered! to put my shoe emotions into writing.

8:07 am

lol

8:07 am

looool. very sensible, red!

8:07 am

I know red, some things are too special to be shared ;-)

time for me to go and tend to the kiddies Good luck all enjoy ur Sunday !

8:07 am

afternoon all...

8:08 am

hi rolin!

8:08 am

howdy rolin

8:08 am

bye Kristine

8:08 am

hi there rolin

8:08 am

afternoon rolin

ROlling on the cough laughing.

Hi Rolin!!!

8:08 am

oh im not here to chat really..im just gonna ask for clues...lol

8:08 am

we do care though, red. really.

8:08 am

hmm..i really should change my icon back to me..

Rolin! you are not the one I was talking about, I think e all know who I am talking abut.

As long as someone cares. I have been feeling a bit outo f sorts...

8:09 am

but thats just it red...i DONT know...lol..(and its ok..i dont really want to)...

8:09 am

whats the matter, red?

8:09 am

we care *said in best Frasier Crane caring voice*

8:09 am

I love, Frasier

8:10 am

i love frasier too...its a hoot

8:10 am

me too

8:10 am

and i have a lovely clean house...

8:10 am

depending on time constraints... not everyone has time to chat..

Nothing really. I think it might be the time of year or something. things are a bit out of kilter, but I am fine. I also liek Frasier.

8:10 am

ohhh did you get the cleaners in rolin?

8:10 am

i love daphnie...shes cute;)

8:10 am

I know the feeling, red!

8:11 am

i figure as long as you are willing to help with clues, then asking for them shouldn't be a big deal

THis is true Mama, but I have to say I do not like when people ask for say 30 clues in a row, its like they arent playing the game....

8:11 am

just the resident ones katie... we've just been...tidying sorta thing..and today we've gone thru and done a really good clean over every room..i love the fresh smell

8:11 am

you do have a point mama, I don't mind what anyone wants to do in the chat as long as they are not trolls

8:11 am

Frasier is not on here anymore, but I can catch it sometines in the middle of the night sometimes in reruns

8:11 am

8:12 am

8:13 am

chat can also be very intimidating... some of you seem to know each other soooo well... It's hard to just jump in.. I just started doing so and I've been here over a year

I did tht too Mama, I player for about 6 months and finally broke down because I couldnt find a word...but I think we are friendly.

8:14 am

this is true, but some of us *have* known each other for years now. but you just have to jump in, everyone is so friendly here

8:14 am

just take my lead mama and jump in with both feets and see what chaos develops;)

cant type.

8:15 am

It's just having the confidence to join in, everyone is always welcome.

8:15 am

here..hold my hand we shall jump together...:)

8:15 am

I can't think of many people who have started chatting here and then decided they weren't welcome

Actually we are all here.

8:15 am

I can think of 1! and he was rather infamous

HELLOOOOO LURKERS, Come out if you want, we dont bite....

8:15 am

oh everyone is very friendly, and it's been easy since I started, but I just thought I'd point that out. Not everyone is comfortable with it

8:15 am

We do know each other well, I first joined when I was newly single and heart broken and have been here through the recovery meeting Bry, getting engaged and then married, I feel like it's my second family

WHo ata?

I sent FM an email yesterday asking her to tell Haz to come back into the chat...I hope she does

8:45 am

Haz is so delightful and I miss her

8:45 am

she's just been busy lately

8:45 am

Ata, I think it is more than "busy"

8:46 am

well, yes, but mainly busy

8:46 am

If this has been discussed previously I will just "shut up"

earlier today Annie.

I think we all miss Haz, and she will be back in good time, I'm sure

I tried to stop chatting at one point. I lasted one entire day.

8:48 am

Well, I certainly hope so

8:49 am

she'll be back if and when the chat log becomes a more calm and enjoyable place to be, I'm sure *shuts up on the subject*

8:50 am

LOL, I see and I understand..

Oooh that makes me feel as if I am not calm and enjoyable...

8:50 am

when *she* feels the chat log ... !even

may be true!!!!

8:50 am

pffffft you know what I mean, brat! :P

LOL no I must go running, in my running shoes....the orange ones...

8:51 am

red, you are calm and caring but who will be here to tell Ata when she is being smug?

Well...Ata is ALWAYS smug.!!!!

But none of us can put her in the proper place like Haz.

8:52 am

yay for orange shoes!!

8:52 am

red, but does Ata KNOW when she is being SMUG?

8:52 am

haz *tries*, lol

I'll update you all after the run...

Yes, that is why we NEED Haz. She keeps everyone in line...remember she is our Chief of Police

when i hit list it is usyally the odd 4's i miss....

1:16 pm

that is odd you miss the odd but not the even

1:16 pm

Just finished the V's. Boy, some of them are really stupid.

1:16 pm

okay, maybe it's not that I am an idiot...maybe I am just a normal babbler (oxymoron)

yes i get the even ones...lol

1:17 pm

Down to 99. I'm going to take a break and cook some smelly brussel sprouts. The Christmas tree is up, but not decorated. It's looking at me, saying, "well, get on with it". Sigh.

1:17 pm

ve 4 with an "re" in front means go back to a previous state; pl

1:18 pm

1:43 pm

Hi folks!

hello monkey!

1:44 pm

I'll take haddock!

1:44 pm

1:44 pm

mG!!! I am so happy to see you! how are things today? did Walter recover from the exciting school day with sint n?

1:44 pm

Take forcibly ..

1:44 pm

ohhh I see the take

1:44 pm

grand and petit mall are types of ****ur*s

Hi monkey.

I seem to be stuck for an N from the lower right... are there any really weird ones?

1:45 pm

how's the trike?

Ata...

Hi Trif! Yeah, Walter is in rare form, up super early, very excited about the new trike.

1:45 pm

think explosive thoughts, mg

1:45 pm

ty -- had the take word!

1:45 pm

a lot of variants on the chemical, MonkeyGames

1:46 pm

gah. stupid Antiques Roadshow.

I like antiques road show

ata, if I didnt know better I'd think you were goading.

1:46 pm

I do too, apart from when they are wrong

Trike arrived last night. Feels like riding a regular bike! I can sit up instead of hunching over uncomfortably! It's in great shape! I will be painting it Tliggit and Haida style, so today Walter "helped" me paint it white. Thanks for the explosion clue.

but since I do , I kno you are...LOL

1:46 pm

skip the stupid ones; only go to the smart ones

That other one for 1100 Euros sold. So to get the identical trike for 350 is just, well, surreal.

1:47 pm

secondo is enjoying a rare sunday at ballet school. They are doing the cutest thing - a Nutcracker Tea, where little ones can come in and try on tutus and get their photo taken with girls from the cast. Secondo is dressed up like the chocolate dancer from spain, and she looked a TREAT in the costume.

1:47 pm

awwwwww

That's MARVELLOUS, Trif!

that is cool tridoso, I would have loved to do that as a kid....

On Friday Walter will go with the rest of his school to choose and cut down a tree. What fun.

1:48 pm

hope they are going to plant one to replace it

1:48 pm

it is such a good idea...the principal sent flyers to all the local pre-schols and kindergartens, and I hope she has a good turn out. Of course the aim is to increase enrollment with little ones, so I hope it's successful

Rode the trike to Walter's school and back today and it did not eat a hole in my spine like I was used to, and even though I tried to ride in a leisurely fashion it still shaved 15 minutes off the round trip.

1:49 pm

Sheesh .. Only 4 white tiles & 55 words left!

1:49 pm

wow, MG - what a blessing to get the new trike right when your back was about to give up! I am so happy for you

I'm not sure, Ata, but around here they will either be going to a farm or will be cutting one the forestry service selected.

Our woodlands are very carefully maintained.

Oh so annoyed. Dog as asleep with his paw over his nose, but my picking up the camera awoke him.

Our woodlands are very carefully maintained.

1:50 pm

awwww darn!

1:50 pm

good

1:50 pm

woot woot fireworks!

OH YEAH--- this morning we saw a red squirrel, which is fairly unusual, and then three roe deer not ten feet from us playing chase in the nettle field, which is shockingly rare!

Yeah Trif!

te7 please?

1:51 pm

woohoooo

1:51 pm

no! wow!

1:51 pm

planting trees is excellent to combat global warming ... China is planting a shelter belt alongside the Great Wall

I missed such an adorable photo :(

1:51 pm

congrats, Tri

1:51 pm

Congrats Trif!!

They're usually fairly secretive, you see.

congrats tri!

1:52 pm

we went to a dance performance last night in boston, and on the way home thank goodness secondo tipped me off to a big buck in the road, cuz i did NOT see him. And the buck was so funny - he was all "sigh., FINE, I will saunter over here.....pesky human!"

We ave a LOT of trees here. My apartment is between two major national forests and down the road from a couple more. All teh roads are tree lined, even downtown. Well, not RIGHT in the center, but most of downtown.

Tri, I am so glad you didnt hit the deer, so much damage caused by that.

1:53 pm

nonnie - the TE7 is a weird spelling of the soup vessel. put in lots of doubles

Hee hee. I remember that kind of thing from growing up in California. Here the seasonal danger is being hit by low-flying swans that aren't good at it yet.

e have a lot of trees. here too but mostly Palms.

1:53 pm

MG, do you have problems with deer ticks and all that?

ty tri <looking>

1:53 pm

red, keep rubbing in your tropical status, and I am mailing you a snowball!

97 more.

Well, ummm, deer ticks no.... But we have the highest level of Lyme disease in all of Europe.

I make sure we eat LOTS of garlic.

1:54 pm

if there are no deer ticks, how is the lyme being carried?

Oh I am sorry. I am not trying to rub it in, last year I froze for most of winter.

1:54 pm

te 7 === most of the land word: te**a ferma and 13--19: t***ager

1:54 pm

it can be carried in other ticks

1:54 pm

make walter pee outside. I make primo do it, and the deer stay well away from where i don't want them

Sheep tocks and this one kind that just seems to like mammals in general.

ty tri and BR...I finally got it!

1:55 pm

you know I kid because I love, right red?

1:55 pm

you can have the heat, redT --- I will just move the snow out of the way and lounge in my hammock

We're urban, on the edge though. The deer sightingw as VERY rare. But the ticks are in the dunes and the grasses, and they get on the dogs. We use Frontline but I remain vigilant. Now it's too cold though; this is a summer and fall problem.

yes...Trif. you have no idea how miserable I was last year in January. I really was so unhappy.

1:56 pm

we have dog ticks, and general wood ticks, but neither carries lyme. My dog, my dh, and I all tested positive for lyme

1:57 pm

are the sightings of the deer due to a food shortage for them, or increased building reducing their habitat, or did you just get really lucky?

I hve a flea circus...

Oh, ouch! Walter had a mono test for his mystery virus last year, but since he gave it to Sprite's whoile family it clearly WAS viral so we didn'[t test for Lyme. I tested negatve (had a period of general malaise so we checked).

1:57 pm

re 5/10 following those who take a nap?

1:58 pm

to recolor, nan

1:58 pm

mostly used for photos, i think. oh forget it - that is the re 6....the re5

Really lucky, plus I think they may have been after the cabbage farm over that way. There is still LOTS of browsing, and the populations are so on the edge that they have reintroduced wolves to the dunes just back of us. They aren't close enough to hear yet but there are mnore of them this year, so eventually I can look forward to hearing them sometimes.

1:58 pm

has to do with the 50's

1:59 pm

5.10 8s a pl

1:59 pm

wolves? as in...wolves?

1:59 pm

the one before that, trif -- looking for the re 5/10

1:59 pm

thanks br -- blind as usual!

1:59 pm

the re 510 is the plural of the re 44

Yeah, you know, big howling secretive pretty dog things the extermination of which resulted in deer population explosions and starvation. Them wolves.

I have got to wrap up some Holiday presents.

2:00 pm

have fun red

2:00 pm

good lord. wolves. WOLVES. just can't quite wrap the mind around that one. won't they be aggressive with humans? why not just introduce elmer fudd or something

2:01 pm

red - I am a perfect size 10, and I love the color blue. kisses!

They rel;eased several pairs a few years ago and they are doing well but nobody except the rangers with the transponders ever see them.

Wolves will do nearly anything to avoid being aggressive with humans.

I need some motivation. Trifoso, elmer fudd is more dangerous than wolves, wolves usually just stay aay from people. elmer fudd often accidently shoots peeps.

2:01 pm

not according to beauty and the best.....

They may get a few chihuauas when they get more plentiful though, but since it's illegal to have your dog offlead there it'd be the owners' own faults.

Trif! WOuld you like an electric set that makes bells ring? Thats what I am rapping. that and a few books.

2:02 pm

I agree red, I am no fan of guns and hunting, but geesh. wolves? that is really hard to take in, for a north eastern gal like me, now on her fourth cat, thanks to the neighborhood coyotes

2:03 pm

send the books! send the books! send the books!

and a pirate ship that is stupidly big.

I would like an electric set that makes bells ring...

wolves are less bad than coyotes.

Monkey its on Amazon.com.

2:03 pm

does the pirate ship come with johnny depp?

I am VERY in favor oif the reintroduction of the natural control. The wolf, that is. And yes, the wolves, unlike coyotes, have not adapted to urban life and will stay out there hunting their natural prey.

No but it has a small mucley man up in the birds nest. from Playskool.

thats muscley.

I'll tell Danny. I got the trike for Xmas but I have a birthday next month.

2:04 pm

my concern is that the wolves WILL work, and they will populate, and then there won't be enough deer, and then what do you send after the wolves when they don't have enough food?

the electric set is called snap circuits, all encased in plastic safe, and fun to do with kids, my one nephew is obsessed with electricity.

2:05 pm

*should* stay out there

2:05 pm

biological control tends to go wrong

last one...as7/40 please?

2:05 pm

oh, whomever gets that pirate ship is going to be so so happy. Primo had the pirate ship, the castle, and the western town, and dollar for dollar they were the best toy money I spent. he played with them for eons

The wolves will be eating deer, rabbits, mice, hares, maybe hedgehogs, squirrles. They live in the dunelands and forest. There is nowhere else for them to go. These are the same wolves that were prevalent in these same woods and dunes until about 100 years ago. It'll be fine. Also the forestry service is seriously on the ball.

Thanks, REd! Sounds way cool.

2:06 pm

where did the wolves from 100 years ago go?

2:06 pm

it'll be fine. oh how many times have those words been heard with biological control

Shot.

By sheep farmers.

2:07 pm

i am just somehow thinking of the rabbits in australia

Now the forestry servioce is using the edges of these woodlands to rehabilitate nearly lost sheep breeds, and are breeding a copy of the aurochs. God help any woldf that tries to tangle with one of these proto-aurochs. There are some by Walter's school on the edge of a preservation fieldland. Scary things.

2:08 pm

and many many other cases

2:08 pm

nonnie - the as 7 is the stupidest word ever. let's see, as + article, plus abbrev for state with capital of Albany

Oh yes, Ata, and the rats and brown snakes in New Guinea. But these are native animals and teh balance has been all messed up since they were all shot. This is being very carefully done in, ,ight I add, a fenced national park.

ty ty ty tri! That did it--fireworks!

2:09 pm

I'm sure it'll be fine. It's just that biological control is guaranteed not to happen as expected

2:09 pm

I hope it works. If the forestry service experiences success with the program, given the fence and all, they will be able to pass on their good choices to other munimipalities

I am very interested anc concerned about this entire sort of issue. This one I approve of as something to try, and so far it is going well.

2:10 pm

At least you can eat rabbits, cane toads are another matter! repulsive, poisonous, hard to kill, spread like wildfire

2:10 pm

yay nonnie! knew you could do it!

2:10 pm

Congrats Nonnie

2:10 pm

yes, lynxx, and the coats made from their skins are hideous!

ty tri and lynxxx

2:11 pm

lol Trif

2:11 pm

good to splat though

The next plan is to reintroduce the European brown bear to the biggest national forest. There, the boar have got completely ot of hand. They are a protected species, and there are so many they are starving and invading farmland in Very Large Groups, and even wandering across freeways. The bear was what was keeping them in check.

lol tri--toad coat

2:11 pm

I know, gross right?

There was an experimantal hunting season on them these last two years but they are breeding faster than people can eat them.

Ok, going to ambulate dog again...Then I shall wrap stuff up. I am going to have to put the gist card though somewhere else, since I am afriad it will get lost in the big box....

Our other "plague" is an introduced species: the African jungle chicken. They're freaking everywhere.

2:12 pm

I guess for me it comes down to why the wolves and the bears were eliminated. If they were being shot by farmers, was it because they were damaging livestock, or the farmers just *thought* they might, so the killed them anyway?

Africa Jungle Chicken????? oh sorry sounded funny, now really alking dog.

By red! Hey, gist card.... I should keep some of those handy. I'm always losing th ethread.

2:13 pm

hi Babble-onians!

They are the ancestor of modern chickens. They LIKE it here.

2:13 pm

have a good ambulation!

Hi Pug!

hello pug

2:13 pm

hi Pug

2:13 pm

maybe the wolves will eat some of those too?

2:14 pm

Hello All!

2:14 pm

would some kind soul tell me if the AR7 & 6 are fish?

The ones in the forest will, but the chickens don't like the dunelands.

2:14 pm

hi rep

Wish I knew, Pug, sorry!

I'm going to try and get a Sunday nap in before it is time to fix supper. You all take care and see you real soon.

2:14 pm

hey pugs!

2:14 pm

hi Repartee

2:15 pm

hi lynxxx...

Hey, did I mention, I've officially lost 25 pounds? This has been a hellish week with some very good things here at the end of it.

hello everyone

Bye Nonnie!

2:15 pm

good job monkey!

2:15 pm

hi Becca

Hi Becca!

2:15 pm

hi bec

2:15 pm

ar6 ar & part of leg

Thanks! I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal! I feel better now.

2:16 pm

hello becca

2:16 pm

ty lynxx

could i have a clue for the ar 7please

2:16 pm

keep riding that trike, and you will be a superwoman in no time! personally, I am liking the effects of the

Thanks, Lynxxx! That is SO not a fish!

2:16 pm

"despair diet" - it's not for everyone, but it has been effective so far

I usually ride the trike for about 2 hours a day, what with everywhere I have to be. What diet is this?

2:17 pm

must go , friend here for a tarot reading . Later all!

2:17 pm

ar7 sounds like the female form of Ha*** S Trueman (lessthe H)

2:17 pm

get dumped, don't eat. the pounds melt off....

A euphemism for hard times?

Bye Pug!

Yup. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know what you mean about it being a diet though, A close friend found out her husband was havinga n affair, then he was stupid enough to try to arrange it so she'd let him KEEP doing it. Six months later she'd lost 125 pounds.

2:19 pm

really, i have lost 150 troublesome pounds. Now, if they would just leave me alone for a while....

Are you doing OK?

2:19 pm

eh.

2:20 pm

Yeah, stressersize works well ..

2:21 pm

not to over share, but he has been saying really weird things lately, that just illustrate how unwell he really is, and how out of touch with reality he has become....my sister in law called and told me he told them all in ireland that it was MY idea for him to go live somewhere else....and other things are getting revised as well. I don't know what to do - intervention?

2:21 pm

speak of the devil, and here he comes.....ugh

Oh dear. This implies that if I succeed in getting my degree next month, and since I now am not daily seriously concerned about the trike, and if I get work so we aren't always in overdraft, I may stop losing weight.... Sigh.

Oh Trif, hang in there!

It sounds like a defense mechanism. My mother does it. Make everythin everyone else's problem, always be the victim. HANG IN THERE!

2:22 pm

put your side of the story out there!

Yes! I second that.

Or of course there's the handwashing method. Just say, "Oh, he said THAT, did he? Well, I don't care WHAT he comes up with anymore."

I guess you're not in a position to do what worked with relating to my mom. Oh well. That was: move across the atlantic and don't converse for a couple of years.

2:25 pm

that;s what I'm going to do lol

It works!

2:25 pm

ugh - 18 to go and I just find the russian ruler...BBL maybe I can find some more fish

2:26 pm

anyone having any luck with the ve's?

2:26 pm

there's always fish

2:26 pm

Nicholas lynxxx?

Oh, but there;s the other detail. When I got poregnant I decided I didn't want my kid to see a mom/grandma relationship like the one I saw so I made myself just bite my tongue a lot and get on wioth being civil.

I have 8 ve's...

2:27 pm

anything over a 5 would be helpful!

Oh. Then I am nohelp whatever. Sorry.

2:27 pm

just try anything that looks like a word, cnan

2:27 pm

I have been ata

2:28 pm

oh

2:28 pm

The ones that start words for rust on copper or dizziness?

to go off course cybernan

Plural of the first letter of the words you're looking for?

french for green

undergarments

Thing to be worn over a short and under a jacket?

shIrt...

2:30 pm

er4/4 I *think* becca

I do!

2:30 pm

mg - sorry, had to poof for a second, as prince charming just arrived to drop off secondo. I scrolled through what you wrote, and I think it is very good advice. I am just sorry that he is so unwell. I really miss the old him, the one that was well and whole

****while

thank you MonkeyGames - i always miss that one!

2:31 pm

anyone have the last ve 6?

2:32 pm

****while isn't from the bottom e though

oh - but it's not the one from the botom row

He left. He needs to get himself straight. I know you wnat to help him but he brought this on himself an dhe cannot move on and thus you cannot also until he learns to take resposibility for himself. Be strong. He will heal faster if you don't take responsibility for his condition.

2:32 pm

*repeats* er4/4 I *think* becca :)

That said, I understand what you must be going through watching a loved one suffer. It;s hard. Hang in there!

2:32 pm

last ve 6 is an undergarment with a couple of extra vowels on the end

ah - got it now Ata, thanks

2:33 pm

:)

Ooh, thanks!

2:33 pm

thanks mg. i really appreciate that.

2:33 pm

ty trif -- that's one down, now for the middle ones

Shucks, it's just my opinion. But I admit I feel rather strongly about it.

2:35 pm

ah -- got them! yay!

Cat's licking the Great Dane's eyebrows again.

2:36 pm

Yay Pav!

OK,time to ambulate MY canine and then try to get some sleep-- Monkey Man decided that after a week of getting up WAY early in order to get the distant bus to school we should just do that right through th eweekend as well. Me be bushed. Trif, you hang in there! If you need to talk, e-mail me at kmcoo@chello.nl, and when I wake up I'll answer you! Have fun, everyone!

3:19 pm

then home?

3:20 pm

white wood eating , word eating?

3:20 pm

man i am impressed you remember............i am so clueless.

3:20 pm

then home yup/

LOL

3:20 pm

huh????????white word eating bugs???????????what are you talking about?

hi all!

the ones that can destroy the internal structure of a house, that you get exterminators for

at least, I assume that's what they're talking about

hey, moon

3:21 pm

ok got those bugs. now what was the word...........

3:21 pm

the chemical for the st8 word, the ending is the same as those bugs...hey Tyger!

3:22 pm

st 8 -- shock jock howard and the dog's bark is worse than its b***

are you still cold? or have you adapted?

hey, PAV

sleep well, mkg

3:23 pm

hi guys

3:23 pm

Precious "buried" her bone UNDER the blanket and now is dragging it and the bone across the floow trying to get it out! ...and she's the smarter of the two...

hey, BFG

3:23 pm

hi BFG

3:23 pm

i new to this :S lol

oh, no, PAV. are you more entertained, or frustrated?

BFG, have you read the help page yet? It really is a BIG help :)

3:24 pm

yes i have thank you :D

Pav - I know that "picture". Resha does that all the time

it will explain things that would take us a looong time

3:24 pm

thanks for the info

3:25 pm

well, entertained by the poopies, always, frustrated 'cause I've been procrastinating about cleaning the place up and moving furniture around to best suit my needs (for the moment)...and of course the poopies can't help

hi and welcome, bfg

yvw, BFG. now, next thing: if you're wondering about the way we ask for clues, you should look at Lickety's page

3:25 pm

okie dokie

the link for it is in the section at the bottom of the page titled Friends of Babble

Good Afternoon. I still have 90 left! Killing me.

that will help you understand all these weird questions you see :D

3:26 pm

Hi Red!

hey, turtle

awww, ((turtle))

I have to find 150 elusive words, was supposed to head out to Ikea this morning, but never made it. Have been spending entirely too much time downloading and resorting pictures

*off to look*

Well, think of the money you saved Autumn!

3:27 pm

Hey Autumn!

LOL she's right, ya know

How is everyone?

I still have to go get some groceries and exchange a pair of pants... thought I'd get distracted for a little while here.

turtle, is your icon wallpaper??

No, apparently today was things you are grateful for or flamingos.

yes, I know, but your flamingo just has that look :)

It does sort of look like wall paper. now that ould be special.

LOL

3:30 pm

I've been thinking about packing up (most of) my plates and dishes, cups, glasses, etc. as I haven't had guests for a while now, and I've been using paper products - don't know which is worse, creating more paper garbage or using up the water washing stuff ov4 and ov4 again...

moon, 150 words to go is NOT distraction; it's frustration - or at least it is for me ....

PAV, are you moooving?

3:30 pm

but some of those words Tyger are easy...hands you a stale fish for later....

tyger - think of it as procrastination rather than distraction

you just reminded me, PAV, you live in the desert southwest, where immigrants from other parts of the country wastefully attempt to recreate the ecologies of their homes :(

3:31 pm

not moving, just hate to have stuff and little room for storage...

PAV, I'm already done :D

I came in for a few minutes to chat - and clue if needed

3:31 pm

where did you take the pictures of the sand hill cranes, redT?

I didn't find this grid really all that bad

great, tyger, could you give me 148?

In my back "yard" Babble, they live in the pond at the apt complex where I am...

3:32 pm

can inanimate things be bad?

there were a few sticky spots, I admit, but I got them all without coming in here to ask for clues

3:32 pm

during the Clinton years, I was one who "consumed" more than my fair share, and now am "stuck" with my conspicuous consumption...I'm also thinking about giving it to Goodwill...

yes, moon, one at a time - so long as you give me timeouts to go eat, etc.

3:33 pm

do they chase people around like geese?

PAV, that's not a bad idea :)

PAV - please donate all unneeded household goods you may have extras of to a women's shelter.

No, but they are very very large in real life BR, I would be terrified if they did chase me.

One is the same height as me.

3:34 pm

thanks AUtumn, another good idea...

babrab, inanimate things involve value. the evil isn't intrinsic; it's the humans' attitudes and/or grasping that imparts value, positive or negative

A lot of the women are fleeing abusive relationships with children and leave with nothing more than clothes on and a purse

oh, yes! moon's idea is excellent

but hard PAV, is you start calling round they tend to think you are looking for a woman. My friend tried to donate veggies and I eventually had to take them.

SO you may want to get a lady friend to donate them in your name.

good point, turtle

3:35 pm

and I know lots if ladies....;)

moon, you said you wanted clues?

Or of course if you have really good stuff, Pav, you can send to me....

ROFL

What are IF ladies???

3:36 pm

more often it is the perception of the player and each player has a different perception

I ant the 9 that is not the In 9...

nah, tyger, I don't need them.... yet.

3:36 pm

nope. keeping the good china, glassware and silverware...lots OF ladies,

Ooooh not if ladies...

3:37 pm

red ov9 follows an ov8

ov9 is a plural of 2nd ov8/55

as thinking PAv some in******ing things there.

Oh thanks tyger now I am imbarassed.

embarassed.

LOL, turtle

TY too pav.

3:39 pm

I looked for a very long time to get the silverware, as it HAD to match the china, and the stemware is crystal, no pattern so it goes with everything...

a lot of the compound words in this grid are ones you might actually use - as opposed to the usual run of weird mashups

Pav that is lovely. i do not have anything matching at all!

my goodness, PAV. not many men even notice such things, much less care :P I'm impressed :)

3:40 pm

the average word length is 5.35 letters many longer words

yes, indeedy, babrab

it's usually about one letter less

IIRC, that is

3:41 pm

I cared enough to show people a good meal when I had them. Now it's just me and the poopies, and I'm too pooped myself most days to arrange a huge meals as I once did...

look at the word stats. there's only one less 5 than the 4s, and many, many 6s

3:42 pm

red, are your real initials H.T.?

oh, crud. I used less where I shoulda used fewer. that modern error is sooo contagious

yes peri. I think I friended you on FB today.

PAV, you sound as though you have the same concept of entertaining as I do :)

3:43 pm

ok, they you are the person who asked to be my friend, was not sure who it was cause you did not put your Babble name in. Ok, will confirm today

of course, I'm not able to do that anymore - though I will probably struggle to at least have my closest friends over for dinner now and again, once I'm back home in Mich

Oops sorry Peri. It as I. Not a stalker.

well, nobody's asking for clues, and I haven't checked mail today. then there's snack & pills. BBL

3:45 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

3:45 pm

is corn a stalker?

3:45 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

3:45 pm

I love to cook (for others) and my mom always gave our guests the best she could, when we were growing up, so I've tried to do my best as well...no one starves on my watch...but with friends moving away and work becoming too stressful, there's little time to enjoy, and the poopies have my attention mostly...

Hi Minver.

Awww Pav. COme cook for me anytime, I am getting to be a good eater.

3:46 pm

hello, Minver

Babble that is funny.

3:46 pm

FLA sounds good this time of year....

It is indeed warm ish.

I went simming outside today.

3:47 pm

I babbled this morning and got 142 words and quit. I am just here to help & clue what I have so far. What is the topic of conversation? Don't really get to chat much recently.Plus I'm not much of a chatter anyway

3:48 pm

I offerred to make a special dinner for my mom's sisters (my aunts) whom she invited to spend the hoildays, and she said don't bother - they'd either not enjoy a good meal, nor appreciate the work that goes into it...

3:48 pm

PAV. where are you, you can make a meal for me anytine :-)

3:48 pm

I think if I went swimming outside today, I would get hypothermia! We had our first snowfall today, pretty

3:49 pm

are you healthy enough to run again. redT?

I think we should all coverge on Pav's house so he can feed us.

3:50 pm

good idea autumn

Yes Babble! I ran 4 slo miles today.

3:51 pm

I'm in Phoenix, Peri...I just fed the poopies some of my oatmeal, which they always love...even without a sweetener...didn't have any brown sugar, so I added some maple applesauce to mine....they eat th6 plain

3:51 pm

but I can only sleep 6 max....

Pav you are always invited to Florida...I will be here until April...

3:52 pm

ooo I'm envious red - but I may get the okay for running this Tuesday.

I'm sure we can take turns throughout the year, Pav. 52 weekends - sleeps 6.....

3:52 pm

wish you were on the east coast, PAV, would be an easier trip

3:52 pm

..and we shut the heat off to the pool and jacuzzi...

Go for it Cad. Those 4 miles were not easy today though. Hills. Hills.

3:53 pm

left column gray, YAY

3:53 pm

anyone here go to thrift stores

I have been offerred several jobs in Phoenix. but I am afraid it might be cold.

3:53 pm

my niece is in Conn...she won't be with us for the holiday...and I do need an excuse to use vacation time

3:53 pm

I thought Phoenix was warm

3:54 pm

I have a niece in Conn, too

Last year Peri, I thought NM was arm...and i was sadly mistaken.

3:54 pm

COld? 50's maybe, but that's what heaters are for...and sweaters, mittens, hats, scarves, pants...

3:54 pm

If I get the okay - it won't be to go that far - but soon, I hope!!

Oooh peri and Pav may be secret relatives.

3:55 pm

you never know :D

Cad did you have fractures?

3:55 pm

I would have thought NM was warm too

3:55 pm

it's a dry heat as they say, and yes, NM can get quite chilly...which is why I left here after school was done....

3:56 pm

left there, am here now....? where am I?

Peri, Iwas 20 miles south of Colorado, and so so so so cold there. Pav I as in Espanola.

3:56 pm

I know someone from Espanola...don't know if she's still there...

3:57 pm

of course it would help to remember her name, it's only been since 1984...?

3:57 pm

I hasd surgery in July....

It as colder than a lto of places. and I ill not go back!

Finally got new pics onto flicker. The wedding and new photos of my granddaughter.

Ihave to go shopping now. Back later!

Cad...I think I recall now. Are you feeling strong?

3:57 pm

oops - surgery in July - then was doing some walking on the treadmill in October - and got a stress fracture....

The stress fracture recovery I am familiar ith as I have created several, but hopefully no more.

3:58 pm

I feel better now - and have been working on Pilates a bit. Neede to lose a great deal of weight before I'll be able to run like I did - but it will come

Oooh Autumn...New piccies!

3:58 pm

Goodbye autumn moon!I will see you tomorrow maybe

But, that doesn't mean I am anywhere close to getting them onto FB!!

I've almost recovered my speed. Almost.

Pav, hat do you like to cook? I am craving all sorts of things.

4:00 pm

That's awesome red!! I know how good it feels!

4:00 pm

hi everyone

4:01 pm

where did you leave it. redT

4:01 pm

Hello jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

Babble to be honest, I dont know, but I have gained on some weight. and that is probably where it went, but now I look all chubby and cute.

Hi jmc!

4:02 pm

Little headache from too much squeeze generation but tolerable

4:02 pm

hi red

4:04 pm

started baking cheesecakes some 30 years ago (for mom) - when I was pigeon-holed into only taking cheesecakes for pot-lucs, I decided to show other skills in making salads, and meals,,,the hardest part is meat - I used to burn steaks, but now am mostly into roasts and such that take hours to do...I have catered 2- 3 10th anniversary dinners in the past year...appetizers, meals and desserts, along with the drinks...if there's a recipe I can do it...

4:05 pm

wow, do you cook for a living PAV, if not something to consider

4:05 pm

I LOVE cheesecake

4:06 pm

erin

4:06 pm

oh sorry!

4:06 pm

I've seriously thought about abandoning my "career" as a gov't finance officer and attending formal chef's training...to open my own place...but, at what expense?

4:06 pm

anyone have a clue for either the ar 7, 28 or ar 6, 21?

4:13 pm

for the cheesecakes, yes, for the rest, I haven't 'cause they've been for family and friends...I did cater a Thanksgiving dinner for the office back in '93 I think, where folks just chipped in to offset my costs. I started working for the state in 1988, and by the 5th year had been making Thanksgiving dinner for MY staff, when a few others heard they crashed and the following year I said I do it for all, but only if they paid or contributed... It was a great year...and since then people who know me have heard of the meal that took place in the Governor's conference room....even had to sneak in the fake wine!

I would love to have some cheesecake right now...Pav do you cater to Penatly Boxes?

Ok doggie would like to go out....I think, he is actually woofing at me, rare.

4:20 pm

you can sign up for a free account and upload up to 200 pics on a free account (you just need a yahoo e-mail address)

4:20 pm

Joey does that when he thinks I'm ignoring him...only once has he barked loudly in my ear, and he'll not do that again...

5:14 pm

what's for dinner mama?

5:15 pm

don't know... depends what I can find in the freezer

5:15 pm

I'm not much of a cook... i usually leave it up to hubby but he's taking the evening off

5:16 pm

at some point I will need to run and get some corn tortillas for my green chili enchiladas....

5:16 pm

but for myself, there's a frozen pizza calling my name...

5:16 pm

now that sounds good, pav

5:17 pm

the enchiladas... pizza does too, but we had that last night

5:17 pm

I have some friends who are vegetarians...so the enchiladas are for them...I had oatmeal a while ago so the pizza should complement it...

5:18 pm

that's nice of you... you must enjoy cooking?

5:19 pm

we were talking about it before I had to take the poopies out for a walk...I do enjoy making dinners for others...I'd just as soon eat PB & J...my fav pizza nowadays, is a spinach with goat cheese...th4 crust...

5:22 pm

i enjoy cooking when I have a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of time without interruptions (aka kids), and someone to clean up the mess when I'm done

5:23 pm

I'm with you there!, when sh5d a house with my sis, whoe4 cooked, the other cleaned...and I was very messy!

5:23 pm

hello

5:24 pm

Hey KJE!

5:24 pm

Hullo...

5:25 pm

my gma lived with us for a bit when my hubby was overseas and she loved to clean the kitchen... i got really spoiled!

5:25 pm

I like the pic kje!...will people be able to enter the structure when finished?

5:25 pm

hi kje

5:25 pm

hubby's not nearly as good about it... but I guess I should still be happy he is home... lol!

5:26 pm

are the kids too young to help?

5:26 pm

not sure pav, but it is beautiful, isn't it?

5:27 pm

Hi Jellen!

5:28 pm

hi jellen

5:28 pm

they could start helping (5,5 &7) but we tend to eat late and by the time dinner is over, it's bath and bed time, so I end up doing the cleaning after they are down... guess I could plan better, but just never seems to happen that way

5:28 pm

hi jellen... btw, still giving shots?

5:29 pm

I learned to put the food away, turn off the light and deal with it in the morning when I have energy

5:29 pm

Yes, kje. I'll be giving them for the next 10 months or so...

5:29 pm

has the whining stopped? : )

5:30 pm

Only when I wait until the alcohol has dried before giving it. Otherwise, it stings...

5:30 pm

see... you are becoming a pro!

5:30 pm

good idea jmc... but I leave early for work and I'm not a morning person.. have found that I dislike it less when I have an audio book or something to listen to

5:31 pm

try the slap if needed

5:31 pm

Yup :-)...need to tell him about the slap...

5:31 pm

well, enough procrastinating.. have to find something for dinner... have a good evening everyone!!

5:31 pm

Bye, mamabook

5:32 pm

I didn't used to be a morning person--surely the kids can put their dishes in the dishwasher or sink...it's a start

wise

Dimebag Darrell 1966 - 2004

GEEK. Yes very sad

7:22 pm

Thank you torgone! It was a long day on this one (at least for me). I started at the flip and worked until 3:00AM and came back to it off and on all day.

tomorrow will be the 4th anniversary of his murder

7:22 pm

See y'all tomorrow. nite nite.

7:22 pm

Well, when your NAME is Dimebag ..

Really Geek. I didn't know that

yes

torgone Dimebag was the guitarist for the greatest band in metal

PANTERA

Yes he was

Geek: I have a signed drumstick of theirs

R.I.P. Brother Dime, We Love You

really that's awesome

i might get a Dean ML for christmas

7:26 pm

I know .. I'm just saying when you adopt a name glorifying drug use, you're probably going to come to some kind of grief before your time ..

Yep.My very first b.f caught the drum stick for me and then I had it signed

TORG that is a horrid thing to say. They guy was murdered

i have a KISS cologne bottle signed by Gene Simmons

and to make things worse he was shot in front of his brother

I have a pair of knickers signed by the Stranglers!!

Yah Lind

hi guys

*i thought you were the type that through the knickers on the stage lind :D)

my neighbor got his guitar signed by Kerry King (SLAYER)

cool Geek

lol herin i wasn't wearing them at the time!

(Didn't need to know that)

funily enough my son had his guitar signed by the Stranglers too!

7:29 pm

I just looked up the details and I retract my statement .. I apologize ..

Thats ok TORG.

hi all. back from shopping.... stopped to pick up nail clippers, came out with a clothes steamer. How does that happen?

lol hi autumn

its ok torg

ZMGO. I am watching DR Phil and hes doing the what to do with the credit crunch. SERIOUSLY how stupid are people

i just remembered im wearin me pantera shirt

7:31 pm

I guess you can't really attach any kind of reason to the actions of mentally unstable people ..

My Great Southern Trendkill top is dead and holey and worn thin and has no cuffs

AUtum why did you do that?

7:32 pm

Dr Phil can't eveb solve any of his own problems and he's going to fix the economy??? Right ..

Dang it Geek bad bad bed Geek. I have no room on my Ipod for Pantera

I thought - I'll just go look at an iron.... well, it was $40 and the steamer was on sale for $60.

the worst part was the shooter walked onto the stage and shot him point blank

TOrg. Did you know that if you had a HUGE house that renting out a room to some one is a good idea, or not eating take out brininging your own coffee to work etc. iIs a great idea.

Nice Autumn good price. Steamers are better.

7:34 pm

Really???!?!?!?!?!!?111

I am off to finish making supper (roast beast, potatoes, squash) and then come back to fine the last 142. See ya in a little while!

im sorry herin

later autumn

I had to turn the tv off as i was starting to yell NO CRAP morons. IF you spend $50 a week on random crap at work it works out to be $2500 you could save.

Its ok Geek

Later AUtumn

7:35 pm

I'm not really a fan of that genre and period, but the loss of any great guitarist hurts ..

thats true torg

second that Torg

7:36 pm

And the insane murder of any innocent person hurts ..

pantera was my 1st metal band

(mine too)

(will have to go get hubby's tshirt and give it to him to wear tomorrow)

sorry guys i have never heard of them!

THats cool Lind

appearently Led Zeppelin is considered metal

Geek I have both their albums on video and the dvd and special box sets

that's awesome

7:39 pm

L Z was kind of in at the beginning of metal ..

Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath

I was lucky that my good cds werent stolen by a person in my old share house (some of my other cds went too)

Slayer's got a special set with all their cds

My Mum listens to Metalica SnM cd

i almost bought it but it was $100

7:42 pm

Most metal bands would probably trace their influences to Led Zep and/or Black Sabbath ..

7:43 pm

Both of whom I liked early on, but I kind of tuned out on the metal era ..

I like Black Sabbath

the ozzy/black sabbath was the good years

yep. Now he can't remember his name but he remembers the words to his songs

lol

dio was ok but in my opinion dio is better without sabbath

7:45 pm

Paranoid was the first record I ever bought .. I wore it out ..

bummer

Record as in Vinyl?

oh i used to love Paranoid, i used to headbang to it all the time!

hot topic has everything vinyl

I love my Vinyl.

7:46 pm

Glorious 12" vinyl audio recording ..

I have my parents vinyl

7:47 pm

I had hundreds ..

:( I would have kept them

my dad's got a box somewhere

7:48 pm

Rescue them .. they will be like gold someday ..

my uncle greg accidentaly sold his Spider-Man #1 when he was a kid for $20

yah. my b.f is working out a way to bring my sterio into the loung

we only have a few left, we sold most of our vinyl when we moved to Canada

DID he want to just smack himself in the head later in life?

probably

Spidy 1 wow

ive got a Conan The Barbarian #1

got it for $1.95

7:51 pm

I had tons of stuff that would bring good money now - G.I. Joes, Matchbox cars, comix, Lionel trains ..

my g.f. has a WWE turnbuckle form Wrestlemania 24 signed by Randy Orton

I think my b.f has a stack of Star Wars figures in a box some where in the house. I should get them out and set up a battle around the room

nice

Not that im a grown up or anything :P

7:54 pm

yw

8:35 pm

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

howdee its!

8:36 pm

I'm doing well. Large grid today! And how are you?

8:36 pm

Hi Gwen!

8:36 pm

Congratulations itsonme going pro!I like your icon. I have a Cavalier Springer Spaniel too. He is 9 months.

8:37 pm

Love Cavs

8:37 pm

Do they really spring?

8:38 pm

Yes, I love being pro :) She is Lucy, a Cavalier Poodle mix! She is about 6 months now.

but i have to ask . . . *what's* on you? 8-)

8:38 pm

Sorry, thought you meant Cav King Charles

8:38 pm

Me too! I do not see too many of them though. They are very cute!Yes they do spring,at least mine does.

8:38 pm

Haha, I'm not too sure, I made this account awhile ago, I guess I was thinking if you need help I can help you somehow?

8:39 pm

Mine springs as well!

8:39 pm

Are the King Chas and the Springer the same?

gee, i was hoping it was a more interesting story, LOL

8:40 pm

The full name is King Charles Cavalier Springer Spaniel

8:40 pm

Haha, Gwen. Sorry to disappoint you! How about yours, Book Doctor Gwen?

8:41 pm

Did not know that, ty

8:41 pm

Drinks are on itsonme .. Woo!

8:41 pm

I've been doing a lot of research on Springer Spaniels since I got my dog. Knew nothing about them before.

8:41 pm

How do they spring?

well, two careers back i was a book doctor. basically an editor who has to fix up bad manuscripts really fast because the publisher bought them before giving them a close look

8:42 pm

Mine loves to jump up if you are holding something in the air.Mine also spring up onto my chairs & couches

(after that i was a bookstore manager, now I'm a used book dealer)

8:42 pm

Ohh, that sounds interesting! I tend to edit books as I read them, if they do have mistakes. I am weird like that. :)

8:42 pm

Is it like jumping?

me too, its! and sometimes i fix 'em with a pencil, very neatly, so you can't tell there was a typo (if possible)

8:43 pm

Mine jumps a lot as well. She recently learned how to jump onto chairs, it took her awhile, but now she just can't stop!

8:43 pm

Yes,it is exactly like jumping. Mine jumps pretty high

8:44 pm

Ohh, I will have to try that next time Gwen. =)

8:44 pm

Ah, puppies. My Bisky can barely make it up on the bed anymore. But, he's 14 & 1/2

8:44 pm

king chas cavaliers, dogs of royalty! cuties too

8:45 pm

Cute is just an understatement, the are ADORABLE!

8:45 pm

real love lushes

8:46 pm

They are so cute! If I do get a pure bred Cavalier someday, I would like to name him Chester. They just look like Chesters. :)

8:46 pm

If only they didn't shed. That's my first rule, can't have shedders

8:46 pm

Ahh you see Bichon, Lucy is mixed with a Cavalier. Still adorable from the Cavalier, but non-shedding from the Poodle!

8:47 pm

*Lucy is mixed with a Poodle.

8:47 pm

cavaloodle

8:47 pm

I didn't name my dog,but if I had I would have named it Charlie since it's a King Charles Cavalier Springer S

8:47 pm

LOL lbdawger!

8:47 pm

Cavapoo :)

8:47 pm

poodlier?

8:48 pm

Haha, I like Poodlier more!

8:48 pm

pood lee air

8:48 pm

My dog does not shed too much, but he is still young.

8:49 pm

I've been told [since I am very allergic to animal hair] that even though there is a Poodle mix [like a Goldendoodle] that you cannot predict wether it will shed or not

8:49 pm

The only bad thing about Cavaliers is that they don't have a very long life span.They live to be 9 -12 years.

8:49 pm

more than likely they will shed, just not as much as a pure breed

8:50 pm

Hmm, well she does give off a hair or two now and then, but we don't notice because we already have a Pekignese Pomeranian mix who sheds bucket-loads.

8:50 pm

Hopefully, one that's mixed will have a longer life span

8:50 pm

That's too bad Minver. Something that cute should live a long time

8:51 pm

little dogs often have an average life span of 12 years. kinda depends on the sire and dam

8:51 pm

Also, they have heart problems. Mine had a heart murmur before, but now the doctor can't hear it anymore, so that is good.

8:51 pm

They tend to have heart problemss as they get oler.

8:51 pm

BOO !!

8:51 pm

AAAUUUSSSIIIEEE!!!!

8:51 pm

JINX itsonme!

8:52 pm

lbdddddddddddddddd !!

8:52 pm

Oh Minver you got me, do I owe you a Coke?

Yes, Diet please? LOL

8:52 pm

10:40 pm

there are 257 words...

10:40 pm

here too, tyger

10:41 pm

its not really colder than normal...its always really cold in the 7 months of winter here...and super hot in the two months of summer

10:41 pm

smarty stid. i mean... acual numbers that are words w/in the puzzle. oh and hi tyger.

10:41 pm

*groan* hey, advice needed from the mammas

10:41 pm

it's been like that since late Sept - with the occasional break, but last year, we were still having mostly highs in the 60s through November, and with many days in the 70s

10:41 pm

hey, erica

10:42 pm

congrats stid!!

10:42 pm

oh, like the counting number in the grid? one, two...

10:42 pm

in 20 years of visiting cleveland, i recall 3 hot summers, compared to summer here around DC, at least.

10:42 pm

stid - I posted pics from the wedding and of my granddaughter if you want to take a peek

10:42 pm

are there any numbers in the puzzle? I don't remember any

10:42 pm

oh oh feather --'ts late for you!

10:42 pm

go ahead.

10:42 pm

we will get a "warm' day every now and then...but not for long lol

10:42 pm

whatcha mean, feather?

10:42 pm

daniel has an ear infection. went to the ped this afternoon, got the antibiotics. he keeps waking up yelling. he's only had one dose, 4 hours ago. should i double up the first dose?

10:42 pm

ze - nothing, is a number

10:42 pm

NO. do not double the dose of antibiotic

10:42 pm

which antibiotic, feather?

10:42 pm

oh, yeah. thx, DC. I'd forgotten

10:42 pm

what painkiller were you given?

10:42 pm

tyger- so far I have found a th5 and the plural for th6

10:43 pm

ha ha...i didnt have that ze....duh

10:43 pm

back

10:43 pm

she's right, feather - not without the Dr. telling you to

10:43 pm

antibiotics don't shrink the volume, they don't dull the pain.

10:43 pm

why not? out of curiosity

10:43 pm

make sure you give him the dosages at equal intervals!

10:43 pm

oh, yeah. I forgot those. I finished in mid afternoon

10:43 pm

ear drops, which we just did 2 hours ago

10:43 pm

feather, do you have a hot water bottle?

10:43 pm

they only kill the bacteria that cause the infection, the rest is normally handled by the body over time.

10:44 pm

redo the pain-killing eardrops

10:44 pm

no tyger

10:44 pm

most of the time, antibiotics arent even needed for ear infections...just tylenol to dull the ache.

10:44 pm

thx dc. i forgot about that one

10:44 pm

i've been sleeping with him, and he likes my hand on his head, but i can't do that all night

10:44 pm

a not *too* hot hot water bottle is often very comforting for an earache

10:44 pm

(hugs feather - she just got bombarded by mommies)

10:44 pm

my mother used to warm up a little bit of olive oil. providing the eardrum hasn't ruptured, it equalizes the pressure on the eardrum, which lessens the pain

10:44 pm

you can also use a hair dryer to blow warm air into the ear. I know it sounds weird, but it works

10:44 pm

or a warm wet washcloth placed behind the ear and on the neck

10:44 pm

this is his second infection in a month green. the first one was about to rupture. this one looked pretty bad too, and he's had the cold several weeks.

10:45 pm

my doc wont even prescribe antibiotics anymore for earaches

10:45 pm

yes, what erica said worked well for us also

10:45 pm

he keeps sleeping with that ear down which doesn't seem good to me

10:45 pm

the son of one of my best friends had earaches all the time when he was little. those are tricks she learned

10:45 pm

is he on decongestants, feather?

10:45 pm

your doc is right, GG

10:45 pm

yes stid

10:45 pm

cotton balls in the ears helped me a lot with the pain when i was young

10:45 pm

why, feather? why does it concern you he's got it down? he may just be instinctively trying to keep it warm

10:46 pm

have you tried a warm shower to help loosen up the mucous?/

10:46 pm

i had tubes for 6mos when i was 6

10:46 pm

seems like the fluid would put more pressure on the eardrum that way

10:46 pm

a bit of warm olive oil on a cotton ball might well help

10:46 pm

poor baby...i hate when teh little ones arent feeling well

10:46 pm

hot tea with honey is nice, too

10:46 pm

have to be olive oil?

10:46 pm

mom would through in a nip of Southern Comfort for me, too

10:46 pm

it's almost midnight here

10:46 pm

like I said, feather. I think he's looking for warmth to the ear

10:46 pm

LOL, DC

10:46 pm

ok, going to go try the warm washcloth

10:46 pm

no, any cooking oil would probably work, feather.

10:47 pm

sometimes my kids like to have a warm washcloth placed over and under their eyes (like a mask)

10:47 pm

feather, olive oil is thicker than other cooking oils

10:47 pm

in the drink dc, or on the cotton ball? lol

10:47 pm

in the drink :)

10:47 pm

LOLOL, GG

10:47 pm

ah, that would explain why my mother used that then, tyger!

10:47 pm

good one, though :D

10:47 pm

(((feather)))

10:47 pm

he's hollering for me, gotta run

10:47 pm

thanks for the quick advice!

10:47 pm

olive oil is used for alot of remedies...has alot of different household uses

10:47 pm

yup, stid

10:47 pm

good luck feather

10:48 pm

last re6, pls?

10:48 pm

could I please have a clue for the te7? thx

10:48 pm

hey dc...where was your mom when i was sick????

10:48 pm

my children didn't get earaches. they were nursed and we weren't around other kids much so they didn't catch the bugs that make little ones sick.

10:48 pm

re6 + football end**** (pl)

10:48 pm

if the kid will tolerate it, Vicks salve on the cotton ball works *great* - but many kids don't like that initial feeling

10:48 pm

my oldest never had an earache...he was nursed too...

10:48 pm

here in VA,with us, GG

10:48 pm

te7 = large soup bowl

10:49 pm

I've used it myself, as an adult - of course I never had an earache as a child

10:49 pm

i was nursed, but mom smoked

10:49 pm

te7 is an anomalous spelling of the large soup container

10:49 pm

so you got nicotine in your milk, dc?

10:49 pm

We talking ears? I'm an expert -- scarlet fever age 5, before antibiotics. Went to ears, burst left eardrum, then mastoids. 5 operations, 2 years of weekly cauterisation with tricholorocetic acid (which I learned to pronounce) until healed, written up in medical journal, caought in a breaker at age 13, burst the drum again. Now impaired in that ear although bone conduction excellent. Other ear excellent. Wanna know any more?

10:50 pm

But they got hammered when they entered school... *guilty mama look* though they were old enough to understand to blow their noses enough to keep the worst of it down

10:50 pm

yup, jilli

10:50 pm

thx Pini. I've only spelled it the other way, with the U

10:50 pm

oh jill -- you just wait to share that story!!!!

10:50 pm

probably, tyger, about the nicotine

10:50 pm

yw, AM, although the U is the correct spelling ;)

10:50 pm

I was fed by wolves

10:51 pm

oh ruru! *st5 mama look*

10:51 pm

i want to be fed by a wolf now

10:51 pm

that's not actually what te7 means. I looked it up, but don't remember now. that was *hours* ago - at least 8

10:51 pm

yeah, ruru. you, Romulus & Remus :P

10:51 pm

I could eat a wolf....

10:52 pm

no, stiddie. K9 meat doesn't taste that good

10:52 pm

10:52 pm

The dictionary says : See ... other word

10:52 pm

tyger- you just rub it in.

10:52 pm

10:52 pm

sorry, erica

10:52 pm

LOL autumn! that's what I got too!

10:52 pm

Stid likes to play Red Riding Hood and gets even with the wolf

10:52 pm

moon, dic.com doesn't have the other word. I looked it up on OneLook

10:52 pm

brb

10:53 pm

*chomping on drumstick from wolf* will share if anyone has pie for dessert...

10:53 pm

that drink was yummy. i may need another

10:53 pm

I'm out of pie, but have lots of Cool Whip left!!!

10:54 pm

*shadenfreude pie plated for all*

10:54 pm

OK, going to look up comets. Finished earlier. Back soon to clue if needed, which I doubt, lol!

10:54 pm

It's a rich, slightly bitter chocolate pie, but not a creme pie

10:54 pm

11:28 pm

YAYAY! DC.. wtg^^^^^^

11:28 pm

YAY dc!!!

11:29 pm

jill, may i share your shanghai millionaire on my blog? I have many gamer who read, and would be interested, and if so, how would you like to be identified?

11:29 pm

ruru, the next icon theme is comets. Today's was flamingos OR greatfulness for the victory after Pearl Harbor

11:30 pm

and how are those two things related?

11:30 pm

dc, I'd be delighted. Email me about indentification -- not sure what would be appropriate. I don't mind being real but there are choices.

11:30 pm

did harp ever start or not?

11:31 pm

no, harp did not

11:31 pm

will do, ty, jill

11:31 pm

Icon themes are seldom related, ruru. People just send in ideas to sprite.

11:33 pm

Sheesh -- did I write "greatfulness"??? Of course I meant gratefulness.

11:34 pm

OK, changing icon...

11:34 pm

Hi everyone, hope tonights grid will be smaller
