* gasp * ruru!!!!

12:32 am

I had a phone call from someone who had seen a name on the public genealogy list I put up ... for a person who married a distant cousin! They were nice, but couldn't imagine that a) I had no idea who the person they wanted was and b) I didn't have any more information on this person who was so clearly not truly part of my family tree! (though I admit I do sometimes put in whatever I find)

12:32 am

*sobs*

12:32 am

why's that ruru?

12:32 am

don't finish too quickly then, ruru!!!

12:32 am

12:32 am

12:32 am

I so know what you mean, Stid! I'm hesitant on sharing my genealogy now...

12:33 am

I will drop in I p[romise stid

12:33 am

12:33 am

...someone I shared it with posted it on the web with "credits". * sigh *

12:33 am

I have done that too ruru -- so have a few others. It is a good decision. *sending lots of support*

12:33 am

er...without "credits"

12:33 am

I promise not to share with anyone, Pini!

12:34 am

Hi Christine. TY. May your new year bring you health & happiness

2:10 am

After 48years, still miss my family ... but email connects UK, NZ and USA very cheaply.

2:12 am

I was just talking with my daughter last nite about what a diff all this technology has made. Amazing

2:14 am

I remember when calls to UK cost %1.34 per minute (costly in those days). I'd use an eggtimer for 10minute calls.

2:17 am

2:37 am

hello, herin. very quiet

Mine was very drunk

2:44 am

happy new year herin, and everyone else too. insomnia for the new year! 3:30 and here I am....

TRIFFFFFFFIES. Happy new beer

How are you?

2:49 am

it is almost 1 here,,, hubby and kid went to bed

Hi and Happy New Years DR

2:51 am

Hiand Happy to you Herin

I went to bed at 5am this morning I have been napping all day

2:54 am

I have been up since 8am

Go to bed

2:55 am

I need 3 more words for NBT then bed

I am thinking of more sleep

2:56 am

does sound good

that and ive been eating like a piggie all day

2:57 am

It's almost 1am here; I want to watch the lead-up to the Rose Parade (at 5am), so I guess I'll make another cuppa, and keep playing.

Hi Christine. What is the Rose Parade?

2:58 am

oh my!!! What is the rose parade...

2:59 am

beautiful floats made out of flowers

I have never heard of it before

2:59 am

google pasadena tournament of roses

3:00 am

It's held annually in Pasadena, floats, bands, horses, flyover by the Stealth Bomber. It's one of the big tourist attractions, and I know it's seen in parts of Australia, NZ and UK

3:01 am

has been around forever

Ok so its like a harvest festivel

3:04 am

I've not seen nor heard it either, guess it never found its way down to Melbourne. Hi Infernal and DR

3:04 am

not harvest exactly- more like a spectacle based on the one rule that the floats have to be covered completely in real flowers.

Hi Lynxx. How was your night?

3:05 am

hi lynxxx...

3:05 am

Quiet here, did you have a good time Infernal

3:06 am

About 100years ago, some landowners decorated their carriages, drove wou;d=be buyers around the citrus groves, so they'd return East and telleveryone how great the weather was, even in the middle og winter. It just grew from there.

3:07 am

it's also kind of connected to an american-style football game - the Rose Bowl, that elite college teams compete to be able to play in - this year it is Univ of Southern California and somebody else - maybe Penn State

3:07 am

yes.. penn state

Yes. I got um happy

3:07 am

Shoot - I need to learn to spellcheck, before I hit send

3:07 am

and with that... I am going to bed

Thanks Christine.

3:07 am

now the Rose Bowl I have heard of

3:08 am

hi Birdee. HNY!

3:08 am

happy happy everyone

3:08 am

2 to go to NBT - took a long break for midnight festivities here

3:08 am

nite DR

3:08 am

Hi Lynxxx

3:08 am

My adopted country has the very best winter weather.

3:09 am

gnight ... * snore**

Night DR Hi birdee

3:09 am

avis

3:10 am

NBT means you have all the words ??

3:10 am

Hi herin

3:10 am

NBT at least one word from each available cell

3:10 am

No Blank Tiles

3:11 am

NBT means no more blank tiles and most everyone here probably passed that point long ago

3:11 am

What are the blank tilrs ? This has all changed since I playedd 2 or 3 years ago.

3:12 am

it does? and all this time I thought it was a ban on black tutus

3:12 am

one more for NBT

3:12 am

hi BR

3:13 am

Chris, its just a thing that some players aim for before they, say, call it a night, no biggie

3:13 am

Darn, I just stocked up on black tutus ... there's so few things a chubby 70+ can wear to really gkam affairs.

3:14 am

rofl

3:14 am

CHristine - under tile stats I am trying to get at least one word for each of the tiles that have letters that begin words. It is NOT black tutus - it means No Blueberry Turnovers

3:15 am

No Boring Twits

3:16 am

No Bumbling Tourguides

3:17 am

Never Be Tiresome

3:18 am

vi5/18 reminds me of the way a 3 year old might ask for her Flintstones chewables...

Well dinner is sorted

Hi ANgel

3:18 am

what's for dinner?

Ravioli and garlic bread. Basic food

3:19 am

hi Angel, are you feeling any better?

3:20 am

sounds good, just looking for ideas for Friday night - the kids will be here

How old are the kids?

3:21 am

19,21,23

3:21 am

lyn, I actually think I am going to survive. it's been unpleasant for sure, but I am improving.

3:21 am

they will love ravioli

Home made is fairly easy im just to slack

OH Angel hugs

3:21 am

God to hear Angel!

3:22 am

Good that is, although maybe God had something to do with it Angel

3:22 am

bronchitis takes me down quickly...but this time I caught it before it got too bad.

3:22 am

There is a fresh pasta store in my city and I will pay them a visit as I think I might go in to work for a bit on Friday.

Mine is froozen goo

3:23 am

Fresh pasta makes so much difference

3:24 am

Hmm .. . .I should check my freezer as I might have stocked up at that store and frozen some after their last sale.

3:24 am

must focus on last tile i something

soonish

poo sorry

3:28 am

3:50 am

herin what did you do last nite

3:51 am

am8 - a scientific word relating to cell division. Sounds like a friend with foot digits. Not a good clue, I'm sorry

First we invited friends around. We bought food. Salmon, Oysters and prawns for entree's and Steak and french fies with garlic butter.

3:52 am

yum yum yum

3:52 am

Banjup - where is it near, I should know

3:53 am

3:54 am

ven i

3:54 am

I apologise, too generous with the space bar

3:57 am

good for you -

3:57 am

3:57 am

On second thought it is hard work to "process" chickens in the heat

wow. i am looking at photos of my ex's little boy (he was 3 when he left me) he is now 11 or 12 and very much like his dad

Sandy you are not getting the no from me

3:59 am

4:02 am

4:03 am

I think it should take raita, just saying

4:04 am

My sister (UK) sent an email that proved we WOULD read the word, if the first and last letters are there - the jumble will sort itself.

4:04 am

toms

4:04 am

of course it should

4:04 am

sorry - I knew I couldn't make it a night without the PB

4:05 am

oh yes, I know that text! It is incredible what we can figure out without really trying, as long as first and last letters are there.

4:05 am

Birdee, come out and confess, you love it there. Too much goodies.

4:05 am

Well, I left some of my knitting in therre and I wanted to pick it up anyway

4:06 am

It looks like someone had a party in here last night - it is a mess and there is NO FOOD!

4:06 am

oh nice, what are you knitting atm?

4:07 am

oh Birdee, I didn't get around to unpack, but in that big bag on the table are a lot of goodies! Just take your pick.

4:07 am

Personally I am knitting a couple pair of socks and a sweater for DS. I am also completing an afghan pattern for a yarn company

I am not seeing these b words

4:07 am

found the bag Sprite - thanks

OH Sockies they are hard to make

4:08 am

Happy New Years Monkey and Flask

4:10 am

hi MG & Flask

4:10 am

*hugs MonkeyG and Walter* Happy NY to you too, may it bring you health and happiness

Monkey did the dog not mind the fireworks? I love your dog. how did Stewie cope Lynnx?

Thanks! And totally the same back tou you!!!!!!!!!!!!! How was the night? Problems with those pesky f***w*d neighbor kids?

4:11 am

that's exactly it, Birdee :)

4:12 am

on the hunt now lynxxx - muffins are out of the oven

4:12 am

a vion

4:12 am

another slip of the space bar, I am sorry

Saskia never minds the firewiorks but she was insistent on looking out the window with us.

4:12 am

you really wanted to see my knitting in here didn't you sprite?

Thanks, didn't have that one.

4:13 am

MonkeyG, we ignored their baiting and they went away! No threats and no attacks this year, thank God.

That is a terribly cute Monkey you should frame it

Yay!!!!!

4:13 am

I do, Birdee!

Thanks, Herin!

4:13 am

aw MonkeyG, that is so sweet!

4:14 am

I will get my kids to take some pics and I will post knitting pics sometime

Good Sprite. horrid kids. Our street was Dead

4:14 am

Birdee, please do! I'd love to see it.

Yes please Birdee.

I have 2 wonderful photos from last night

We were treated to rather a pyrotechnics spectacle. It was actually really great. Someone somewhere to the East had some Very New fireworks. Must have spent a fortune. There were some shades of yellow I have never seen before and some super weird floating lantern things and one that sent up red flowers Veeeerrrrryyyyy Sllooooowwwwwly....

4:15 am

put them up, lady!

No. they are terrible. i look very drunk

Oh Pretty Monkey

Must look up th efloating lantern things.

4:17 am

ohhhh the new ones with the balloons? They are incredible. I love fireworks, actually. But I hate the noise, my nerves can't take it. I would love to see fireworks from a great distance, over water :)

I had never seen anything like it, Sprite. But must be, as you say, the new ones with the balloons. Very eerie, slowly drifuting up and up...

I am looking at hotel room for the next new years

4:18 am

I tried to post a pic from a pattern I wrote but I couldn't get it to isolate the picture - I will have a child teach me to put them on Flicker

4:18 am

sounds magical, MonkeyG.

OK, must off. Walter just let me write a major report for schoola nd is fed up with boring computer mama. Catch you folks later, just wanted to come on and say Happy New Year!

4:19 am

another phantom - glabrous

4:19 am

that would be wonderful, Birdee, I love to see how patterns work out. Or to get the pattern itself :D

4:20 am

glabrous? *looks up the word*

4:21 am

it's a beautiful word

4:22 am

oh! Thanks Birdee, there is one of my new things learned for today :)

Oh, sucker for joss... sorry, got it

4:42 am

no it is not here yet! But will when it comes!

I am now addicted to Firefly.

4:42 am

we are always so late with everything. Compared to your countries.

Sprite it is very old and you should be able to get it on dvd

4:43 am

ok! *writes it down right away*

Ah sprite, just get it on DVD! L has a friend of a friend of a friend that will give me the series

4:44 am

I love series on dvd. Wanna sit on the couch with you and watch them all!

We could!

4:45 am

yes we could, and we would love it!

I am totally into sitting sessions on a couch with DVD favourite of the week!

4:46 am

so am I, with my knitting in hand, feet up, ahhhh

There was a time that I used a connection chat room called "worlds"? and you could take people you were chatting with on a tour of what you were doing online. I don't know if that still is around... will ask L

I love knitting!~

4:47 am

then we will have to make it happen so4 day, mrP, because Caya is very clear about wanting to play with Maddison irl.

well, they would get on very well irl!

4:48 am

yes I am certain of that. They are quite alike in temperament. Such beautiful souls.

that sounds fun Mr PRes

Isn't it true :))

4:49 am

laev o

4:50 am

hahahaha! too much space bar wine on new year!

4:51 am

I am so hungover! I remember bits of last night... especially the naughty bits! LOL

4:52 am

cul8r lady

4:52 am

*giggles* Those are the best to remember, mrP, well done

Let's just say sprite, my new year was a real BANG!

4:53 am

no better way to start it. Should bring luck!

4:54 am

well, no-one likes a braggart, mrp --- especially those among us who didn't celebrate with a BANG!

4:55 am

lol! I smell a little envy...

oh sorry christine! It is just so long 'between drinks' for me these days!

4:55 am

no, a big stink of envy ... poor me

4:56 am

poor Christine. I can offer a hug, but that is not quite in the same league :D

I am wondering off night all

4:56 am

wonder in wonderland, lady, night

niters infern!! happy new year luv

what did you do for new years eve sprite?

5:02 am

the kids asked if they could make dinner. They baked pancakes and made soup and it was delicious!! Then we all spent so4 ti4 on ourselves. After that we played canasta and animal snake, watched a bit of cabaret and then the men went out for fireworks, and caya and I stayed in and read a bit.

5:02 am

they *made* pancakes

5:03 am

that is leaving out the hugs and cuddle parts, but you know they were in between everything, lol.

5:04 am

Sounds like we all had the best kind of new year celebration.

5:04 am

was yours good, Christine? And you, mrP, what did you do?

Well! very well done!! We held a bbq, drank way too much, didn't go out to the fireworks cause drive, but watched it on TV. Somewhere after 1pm, Maddison was scarred for life when she saw me in see through leopard print night attire. Happy New Year!

5:05 am

oh man, can you believe ye4 was my last word? Fireworks, anyway.

5:05 am

lol mrP, I am quite sure she will not be any worse for seeing you being a sexy woman.

yay sprite!

a lot of people will be in the penalty box tonight for the ye4!!

5:07 am

I know I should have been there from the start, lol

5:08 am

good grief - I do hope MrPresident is a nom-de-babble, and you're really a woman - otherwise, a see through leopard print nigfhtie ...

5:08 am

I really must be off :( Hate leaving you, but real life is knocking on my door telling me to get at it. Have fun, all, and be well. *hugs*

5:09 am

lol, mrP is the wife of Lickety... it is a bit confusing at first, but mrP is a looker and is beautiful in any kinda print. Or out of it.

oh you are sweet sprite! ((hugs))

5:09 am

8:25 am

like a snack bar

call it a Babble bar

8:25 am

which is unrelated to typing words in chat

8:25 am

if you type a word in the chog, you must go stock the snack wagon for everyone else

Certainly not I, Kris, sorry.

8:56 am

I have no U words.

Walter is much pleased to hear this.

Hmm ok thanks , I'll keep at it.

8:56 am

scrabbler knows the long U words

8:56 am

she just doesn't know she knows them

ok I'll work on it hlj ty

ah got it ty

8:58 am

Yahoo, I have ur7 and 8.

Scrabbs, any tips on reducing any scarring on Walter's forehead? Is flax oil as good as Vitamin E oil for example, or is plain old sudocrem fine?

8:58 am

yw

8:58 am

Just time, MG, more than anything.

8:59 am

Hi Mari are you on line or just switched on ???

OK! It's healing up extremely nicely. Tape still hasn't fallen off, they said (and i found it rather intuitive) to just wait for it to do that by itself.

It's high enough he probably won't get called Harry Potter later.

MG he's a boy that scar will be something for him to show off LOL

8:59 am

OK, time to run outside in 4 degrees F and find my newspaper in the snow. then I will make pancakes.

True, Nono! Anyway, I must also off. Have fun all, and Happy New Year!

that always sounded interesting... how did it work out, jjks? do you live somewhere with lots of space to run?

9:55 am

jjks - Stewart is also (though I don't think he ever actually raced), only 3.5 years though

9:56 am

She's happiest with a comfy sofa (lol). She loves to run, but when I first adopted her we were in an apartment.

9:56 am

wow... and she did OK in an apartment?

9:57 am

We have a rectangular yard so she carves out some area to run, but does not run as much as when younger.

9:57 am

interesting

9:57 am

Yep - they sleep all day long - I envy them. They've earned the title of couch potato.

Hi JBV Happy New Year!

10:23 am

hi, scrabs, everything's good - here's my new year's challenge: he has to put on weight (lost more than 25 lbs. in hospital) and I'm as always trying to take it off - makes meal preparation real interesting

10:24 am

Give him frequent small me4s.

10:24 am

am5/14 please?

10:25 am

I am not liking this grid--just not seeing much and I have 133 to go.

10:25 am

no problem with that but I'm also serving him ice cream, cake, etc., and I (promise) am not licking the spoon!

10:25 am

Harp, I think your dial up may be faster....

10:36 am

red LOL!!!

10:36 am

thanks

10:36 am

Jane, are you in a remote area?

I'm not at home....

10:37 am

My son insisted I have a laptop. Now that I have one [for 2 years] I don't know how I could live without it

10:37 am

One reason I wanted a laptop, besides convenience and portablity, is to start writing.

10:38 am

no just never got around to upgrading. i am ready to switch but my 3 year old computer is probably a dinosaur...

10:38 am

When I fly to CA to see my son and his family, I load crossword puzzles on it and do them on the plane

10:38 am

Silly me, I could use a pen and paper, huh?

10:39 am

Yep, computers get outdated quickly.

10:39 am

I love my laptops bichon

10:39 am

not silly at all Scrabs! in fact pen & paper would have been the silly option

10:39 am

these am words are killing me today

10:39 am

I found a 7 by myself! The first of the 4 mi7s.

10:40 am

Sadie, you have more than one, lucky you.

10:40 am

Yes, jjks, they took me a while too.

10:40 am

My computer is an apple. Some things I can't do on a Mac, I can do on my laptop

10:40 am

theres four or them?? i was thrilled to find one hoping it was one and only lol

10:41 am

I know, sadie!

10:41 am

well yea i have two of them i just got another one when walmart had a couple hour sale on them one sat morning for three hundred

10:41 am

10:41 am

I suspect they share the same first 4 letters.

10:41 am

I could not resist and happened to be payday for me too lol

10:42 am

the last mi7 is different

10:42 am

I just bought a $379 mini-laptop from tigerdirect.com. I did my research and found the "best" netbook for me.

10:43 am

TY, Nono. I found mi7/44, now I need the 36.

10:43 am

Wow, sadie!

10:43 am

Scrab, the 44 is the one I just clued

10:44 am

Yep, bichon, I found that, now I need the 36.

10:55 am

JBV its like a middle east country but change a vowel

10:55 am

thanks, NoNo!

I am trying to wake up, I think the whole actually calling the realator plus the disorientation of freezing my tail off has emotionally and physically worn me out.

10:56 am

good day to relax, red - I know how you feel, too much adrenalin running in your system - take a babble break

10:56 am

I mean take a break with babble, not from babble

10:56 am

red, dress in layers. And put on a hat. We keep our house very chilly.

Yes, I clean the big bathroom, did some dishes, packed up one box and then wanted to go to sleep...

It is way too cold to sustain life. People are crazy living here.

10:57 am

Happy Hangover Day, Babble buds!

10:57 am

we must be insane, it's way colder in NJ

Hi Judi!!!!

Yes, KBV I think you are all nuts.

10:57 am

but I too am dressed in layers - have a great thermal shirt AND a wool sweater on

10:58 am

How did you know I had a hangover ??? lol

10:58 am

Pffth. I'm with you, Red. Move to a tropical island and be warm and naked.

10:58 am

Most of the heat lost from your body is from your head

10:59 am

oh, better go get my beret, then! (angora, my gift to myself this christmas)

errr JBV. I have layers on and the first turtle neck all year. Judi, I was so warm and naked, but I had to come and get house for market, and no I am so overwhelmed, so much is going to need to be done.

10:59 am

68 here

Phae! Yum.

10:59 am

red do you have any help there? friends? family?

11:00 am

missing florida, red?

No one here. It isnt that hard, I am just freaking out. and I do miss Florida, but I'll be back there Sat ro Sunday.

11:00 am

anybody have the gl7?

bi, its a ladies mag.

11:01 am

ty red, certainly would never have gotten that

YW.

11:02 am

Gl7: my life. BAH HA HA HA HA!

11:02 am

wish we could help you, red - cleaning and packing is no fun alone - can you hire some help?

LOL Judi, My current life involves something called the Magic Eraser.

11:02 am

Stop playing Babble, Red and go pack!

JBV its alright, I am just having a hard time starting. And I want to sell Soooo badly.

Judi I am out int he town taking a rbeak.

No packing, house has to sell first.

11:03 am

that is a wonderous tool red but be careful what you use it on

11:03 am

Magic eraser, flame thrower. Whatever works.

True Nono!

11:03 am

ah, now we're getting to the nub of the problem....

but the bathroom looks super.

And the Kitchen is half done.

11:03 am

hi everyone

11:04 am

hi nrkii

11:04 am

red... where are you that you're freezing?

11:04 am

Hi, nrkii!

11:04 am

hi nrkii

NC.

11:04 am

hi nrkii!

11:04 am

It is a bit chilly there today, but supposed to warm up

I am listening to a lady at the coffee shop spewing loads of crap about nutrition and nursing...together. i would like to choke her...should I?

11:05 am

Where in NC, Red?

11:05 am

ah, well I don't advise NJ then... it was 15 when I checked this morning, and I'm simply hibernating all day

11:05 am

definitely!!

11:05 am

Throw a well-aimed scone at her , Red.

11:05 am

hi, nrkii - where in NJ? I'm in East Brunswick

Oh no, I am going back to FL ASAP. I just hop someone buys that darn house.

11:06 am

I'm in Lambertville... not too far from you

She is a err rather large lady to be speing out erroneous nutritional information.

11:06 am

and my new office is in South Brunswick/P'ton

11:06 am

did you get a lot of snow? we just have a dusting

11:06 am

red, maybe she used to be larger...?

11:06 am

we didn't get anything here... whatever fell went away

11:07 am

Hey! I know Lambertville! We've been there many times. (We're in Delaware). Love Lambertville and New Hope. Gotta be fair to both sides of the river.

11:07 am

luckily the cold set in after the precipitation was done

11:07 am

we have just enough to make everything look pretty - with no inconvenience, perfect

11:07 am

New Hope is great Judi... I'm happy to live in Lambertville and be able to visit NH

11:07 am

nice shopping destination, right nrkii?

11:08 am

shopping, restaurants, bars, etc, yep

11:08 am

Lambertville is more quaint, New Hope is more of a scene

nrkii, its possible but she is about 5, 2 and I estimate about 300 lbs now. Ahh I have eating issues and so anyone speing out eating advice drives me batty.

11:08 am

I like quaint - have never been there, but have it on my list of NJ places to visit

11:08 am

True. But the bike trail along the canal is such a nice escape from the hub bub around town.

11:09 am

so Lambertville had traditional English carols in one of the bars a couple weeks ago, but New Hope would have been more likely to have the gay bikers anti-carol concert

11:09 am

both fun, but quite different

11:09 am

*ponders* Is "hub bub" one word or two? Hubbub, hub bub?

Bike trail sounds really cool Judi.

Wonders what enable thinks about hubbub...

11:10 am

the canal trail in Lambertville is great... I put in a lot of miles on it this past spring/summer

New Hope is cute though, i have been there once...

11:10 am

Conversely, is it ev4 a word?

11:10 am

taking a break for a while - see you later - happy new year, all!

11:10 am

canal trail on New Hope side is not as well maintained, but still good

11:10 am

I vote for hubbub

11:10 am

see you JBV

Happy New Ye** JBV.

11:11 am

Best to visit New Hope in a year when they haven't had very bad flooding.

11:12 am

okay, 39 to go and need to get the list ... grinding to a fast halt here

11:12 am

true Judi

Go nrkii, I am going for list as well to expedite this grid.

11:13 am

does anyone have a clue for gl7 please?

11:13 am

Great frech pastry shop in New Hope. *drooooling*

A ladies magazine about fashion flosey.

11:13 am

gl 7 is woman's magazine

oooh Pastry.

11:13 am

flosey: gl7: ladies magazine, haute coutoure.

11:13 am

thanks red

11:14 am

Judi, I've walked by it a lot, but never got the pastry (yet)

11:14 am

The Napoleon's are to. die. for.

11:14 am

good to know... must stop there on a cheat day

hat is a napolean?

11:14 am

o = the mi7 words works

11:14 am

of course, I'm in the middle of a cheat 2 weeks, so should go there today

11:17 am

Napoleon is flaky pastry with thin layers of custard, topped with a thin frosting. Bout a million calories, I'm sure.

ooooh, Not a fan of custard though.

11:17 am

but sooo delicious Judi

11:17 am

I'm not much of a custard fan, either, but that still sounds pretty tasty.

11:18 am

I don't like custard much either, but I LOVE these. Thank God it's not close to my house.

that is good Judi, not good to consume regularly I would think, but sounds tasty.

11:19 am

I get one every time we go there. And then I eat lettuce leaves for the next three days.

11:19 am

best hot chocolate ever is in Lambertville, at L'ville Trading Company... they have one variety with ancho chili in it and it's amazing

11:20 am

Well, I'm off for a bit. Have to go return a pair of sneakers that are too small. So much for mail order.

11:20 am

Hmm. Not much of a hot chocolate fan...but then, not much of one for chocolate. Interesting, though.

11:20 am

see you Judi, Happy New Year

11:20 am

Bye Judi

11:20 am

HNY to everyone!

11:23 am

what the heck is an ey6?... I monkeyed it, but I don't believe it

11:24 am

nrkii, does it build off the ey4?

LOL nrkii, you must be the only one with it...I have the ey 4 only.

11:25 am

no, but uses first 3 letters... I looked it up, and I'm still a little sulky about it

"a tension member, used esp. in bridge and roof trusses, having the form of a metal bar enlarged at each end to include an eye"

Hey Fuquay, I drove by your city last night.

11:26 am

ey...orb in face...saloon

Hey Red, Been thinking about you over there in Chapel Hill.

It is very very very cold here.

11:26 am

hi all happy new year

hi JMC!

11:27 am

hi JMC!

Yes, my hubby wanted to go for a dawn walk, and it was cooooooold!

Hubby is sentimental, but crazy?

hubby is immune to cold -- when I'm away during the winter, he turns off the heat and sleeps on the floor. likes to be in touch with the seasons..... (twirling finger next to ear)

11:29 am

Happy New Year Evryone!!!

11:29 am

any helpwith that in5???

He could have come to my home. I discovered I programmed the heat rong and there has been no heat at all, last night as cold, but heat pump has remidied that.

11:30 am

in5 = in + ***iety is the spice of life

I'm told that this clue in***iably works....

11:30 am

happy new year cwe!

11:30 am

thankee

Happy new Ye** ce, and you and nrkii and headed to the PB together.

11:31 am

that musta been the ONLY combination i didnt monkey

11:31 am

sheesh

11:31 am

sheesh

Brrr, red!

11:31 am

pb for me too sigh

11:31 am

ah shoot

Terrible that that word is in grid today eh?

Terrible that that word is in grid today eh?

11:32 am

that's just not fair, I want an exemption across the board for everyone for that word today

11:32 am

seems mean to put y*** in the grib today

11:32 am

in fact, I declare an exemption! Happy New YEAR everyone!

i'd agree to that.

11:32 am

its that or the pb will be full

11:33 am

well, we'd be in good company

Well, e coudl party in the PB to elcome in the new YEAR.

11:33 am

guess we're all in pb together! might as well party

11:33 am

Phantom: vision

11:33 am

lol

Earlier today, I heard the PB had been abolished in a fit of good will. Instead it is the Babble Bar, and transgressors have to keep it stocked with goodies...

I have typed that so many times Phae...

11:33 am

party like it's 2009

11:34 am

I'll bring some champagne!

11:35 am

oh, we had a most delicious champagne at Christmas, must get the name, I don't usually care for it

11:35 am

well i haven't typed it but i keep thinking it!

11:35 am

I forgot to even open my champagne last night

11:36 am

argg have to go take Mother black e**d peas and greens--rather be here today bbl

11:36 am

I bought myself a half-bottle, but I decided on bath and book instead of watching the New Year in

11:36 am

left the champagne in the PB/Babble Bar

11:36 am

bye jmc

11:37 am

should have had the bath, book and champagne nrkii!

11:37 am

I know!!! Prob would have slept better last night too.

11:38 am

got about 6 hours of sleep, ma5 seven hours, but all in 15-30 minute increments

11:38 am

I always forget my maiden name is a word!

11:39 am

do tell phae...

lol

We should stock the Babble Bar with some am6, which it turns out is "the beverage of immortality"

11:39 am

well a word in the grid and accepted

11:40 am

ooh, just found no7, nice old fashioned word, fits well with the Alcott book I was reading last night

11:41 am

brb

11:41 am

I thought am6 was surely made with tequila :)

11:41 am

just saw reference to the PB...... the name has been changed for 2009 it is now the Babble Bar

11:42 am

much more welcoming name Nanette

11:42 am

whenever anyone says a word in chog they must stock the bar with treats LOL

11:45 am

sm5/12 please?

11:45 am

11:45 am

thanks flosey!

11:46 am

11:48 am

11:48 am

urf I am so unenethused about the grid today!

11 house... pat neagle 368 4068....

Oops

11:49 am

hi ata

11:49 am

aha - had missed that ending option... now let's see what else i can stick it on...

Real estate agent coming tomorro, and dog is geting groomed. Only I need some grooming.

Hi kje.

11:49 am

hi red

kje, wanna come work at UNC or Duke and buymy beyooootiful home.

11:50 am

what a nice thought red...... no

no? but it is gorgeous.

I just spent an hour cleaning one bathroom.

11:51 am

i am sure that it is.... why don't YOU live there and stop the insanity!!!

11:51 am

Hi guys! Happy New Year!!!!

11:51 am

Hi Lex, HNY to you too

I am going to sell and move permanently to Florida here the heat is lovely.

11:51 am

hi lexi

real estate agent tomorro at 11.

Happy NEW year lex and everyone.

11:52 am

yay!!! settling down!!!

11:52 am

hey - kajee - NC is Gorgeous!

11:52 am

indeed it is lexi... but I am a city gal

11:52 am

like my plug for you red? where are YOU going

yes, it is time. but NC is to darn cold for me, good gracious, 30 today, you know even the dog was protesting...

11:52 am

we have CITIES

and tomorro the dog is getting groomed, he doesnt know it yet....poor fella.

11:53 am

but tomorrow red - it will be 65 again!

Raleigh, Durham Chapel Hill, CHarlotte...

Golly I hope so Lex, its horrid today.

11:53 am

NC is way too hot for me. I need to have for *definite* seasons.

Lex, you wanna home?

NC has definite seasons Bichon, spring fall, winter.

summer.

11:54 am

I'm with you bichon

11:54 am

I would if you moved it to Oregon!

11:54 am

NC has more definate seasons then anywhere else I have ever lived

Florida on the other hand is SUmmer summer summer all year round.

11:54 am

I live in Mooresville

11:54 am

me too bichon... i want seasons... don't mind the cold at all.... as long as spring comes eventually

Mooresville is nice, I drove by it last night on my way home.

11:54 am

I have a home - can't change until M-in-Law no longer needs her attached apt

11:54 am

summer all year is mundane

There are grab bars in the house...

11:55 am

I can see 77 - probably saw you - hehe

I love it kje. It is not mundane at all, I happen to despise being cold.

11:55 am

barism... an alcoholics belief that beer will solve the world's problems

11:55 am

I've been to South Florida in the summer. That isn't my idea of summer. Summer is hot spells followed by reasonably warm spells. I like a bit of relief.

11:55 am

DH works in Huntersville

11:55 am

good one kje

11:55 am

i don't like BEING cold, but that is what warm clothes and fireplaces are for

South FLorida is extremely hot, but central fla is nice.

11:56 am

hey red - where are you moving to?

11:56 am

hey, can anyone recommend a home remedy for very achy knuckles?

I hate warm clothes, they stick to you.

Orlaaaaando.

11:56 am

I'd rather be hot than cold

11:56 am

Mickey selling his house?? Oh yeah that's Kissimee

11:56 am

not at all...they only stick in FLA where the humidity is 1000%

11:56 am

which is nearly daily

11:57 am

I just moved from there

11:57 am

I'd rather be cold than hot, except for stupid Raynaud's reactions, when I'm forced to curse the cold

:) its actually really nice there...and less disney that I imagine...

11:57 am

I like the Bay Area in CA for climate. No humidity and reasonable winters

I like it.

11:57 am

not a FLA fan for living - just visiting - feel the same about Seattle

I can see that, I thought I would hate Florida, but I've fallen in love with it.

11:57 am

SF is wonderful

11:58 am

DH wants to move to Wilmington - after lexi jr graduates - and lexi sr graduates as well

11:58 am

that is great red... different strokes for different floks, etc... glad you found somewhere you want to stay

Wilmington NC is nice, I did a contract there Lex, lots of walking paths and fun parks.

11:59 am

there is SO MUCH to do in FLA

Yes, I just hope the house sells. like in the next 3 months.

11:59 am

I like the weather either across the bay in the East or south of SF down the peninsula. SF is nice in the summer, but can be a bit chilly

11:59 am

lexi jr #1 goes to UNCW

11:59 am

clue for in5, anyone?

11:59 am

in + ***iety is the spice of life

11:59 am

back again - feel much better- hair is clean, feet are smooth (new Christmas product put to use), energy back to find 93 more words

une your icon is cute.

12:00 pm

I'm afraid that SF is over priced

12:00 pm

welcome back JBV

Go JBV go!

12:00 pm

tx, red, it's of my girls :-)

12:00 pm

you look smashing jbv!

12:00 pm

*one of

very cute.

12:01 pm

kje, how does it feel to be back?

12:01 pm

I am from the West Coast - LA and Seattle - really LOVE NC - Mooresville has become the hometown I never had after 10 years

12:01 pm

(blushing), why thank you, kje!

12:01 pm

all Une's babies are cuuute

12:01 pm

awww, ata, thanks!

12:01 pm

weird une

NC is great. I lived here for at least 15 years.

12:01 pm

anyone else LOVE the rose parade?

12:02 pm

all unpacked?

but no more, someone nice is going to plunk don the cash and free me.

12:02 pm

Wow. Not a proper name? Thanks, Une.

12:02 pm

not watching, lexi... haven't turned TV on since being home... may not for a bit

12:02 pm

14 years TODAY for me

12:02 pm

my daughter lived in Boone, NC for 5-6 yrs--nice area

:D lex.

12:03 pm

I love this parade - but I understand the anti TV sentiment

12:03 pm

ok, pups pointing to their bowls--lunchtime! BBL

12:03 pm

bye une

12:03 pm

i should move

12:03 pm

off my butt i mean

Yes, you chousl move to NC.

should.

12:04 pm

WOW - I did just realize that it is actually SUNDAY that is our NC anniversary - lexi jr's b-day she will be 19 and we will have been here 14 years!

12:04 pm

kje, did you follow the news while you were away? you know about the controversy over the Obama inauguration? invocation I mean

ow Lex...long time.

12:04 pm

sorry, going to ask again in case newcomers/returners know... I'm looking for a home remedy or over-the-counter cure for very achy hands (knuckles)

12:04 pm

that is further than i want to go today, red... but a walk is in order... bbiab

12:05 pm

could care less, jbv... a whole lot of hoopla for no reason... really blown out of proportion... everyone wants what they want and nothing else, no room for compromise... hate it

Nrkii, have you tried getting one of those things that lets you dip hands into warm parrifin?

12:05 pm

I know that IS long for me - my parents played at being gypsies

12:05 pm

Hello and Happy New Year everyone.

12:05 pm

i agree, kje, but obama is definitely the man in the middle - being pulled in all directions

12:05 pm

sorry, that sounded harsher than intended... no offense jbv

12:06 pm

tiger balm works wonders for ligaments, nrkii.

12:06 pm

no, but will look for one, thanks red... this has been the worst part of my post surgery recovery

12:06 pm

HAPPY New Year storyteller

12:06 pm

ZsaZsa, I thnk I can't use Tiger Balm because I have psoriasis and it makes my skin burn... I tried it in desperation a couple weeks ago... learned the hard way

12:06 pm

hi storyteller!

12:07 pm

hey storyteller - here in the south when I tell people that story telling is a talent for me - they think I mean lying

After my hand surgery I loved those things. you dip them in and it does loosen things up, they used it during my hand therapy.

12:07 pm

I'm worried that the hand pain is never going to go away, because it seems unrelated to my shoulder, other than timing

12:08 pm

it's both hands

12:08 pm

jbv... it reminds me of the hillary situation a bit... those who said they would now vote for mccain since she wasn't nominated... they clearly hadn't listened to her message... i feel the same way about the people fighting now... they clearly did not hear his message about looking for common ground with people from all walks of life and all spectrums of the political grid... his openness to reach out to people unlike him is what got him elected, hopefully he will remain with that ability

use it on both...

12:08 pm

sorry nrkii

12:09 pm

I think I'm going to make my doctor test me for Lyme

12:09 pm

yes, we are all hoping for that, kje

12:09 pm

***staying in Bermude***

12:09 pm

nrkii, I just bought my husband a pair of felt mittons that have the inserts in them that you can heat in the microwave and he says they do wonders on his achy hands. I probably missed most of the conversation and yours my be more serious.

12:10 pm

ouch, nrk, sorry

that sounds like a great idea storyteller.

12:10 pm

bbl - have a great Holiday all!

12:10 pm

ooh, storyteller, that sounds wonderful... it's what I've been mentally picturing to help me

12:10 pm

bye lex!

12:10 pm

nrkii - does it help to take arthritis pain relievers? or do you not want to rely on those

12:11 pm

Hope it works!!!

12:11 pm

I took 2 Aleve at 7 AM and went back to bed, when I got up at 9 I was in just as much pain

12:11 pm

somehow it gets much much worse at night

12:11 pm

wow, good luck, nrkii

12:12 pm

it's the strangest thing... thanks JBV... I'm done complaining, was really looking for suggestions, so thanks all!

12:12 pm

off to hunt online for parrafin and felt microwave warming gloves... bye!

12:13 pm

bye nrk

12:13 pm

nrkii - forget lyme's - highly unlikely and not the usual joints for that... but the fact that it worsens at night is interesting for RA or some of the other connective tissue disorders... nothing is hard and fast, but OA usually gets worse with use, whereas RA usually worsens with rest and loosens as the day goes on... just a thought

12:14 pm

ok, must go walk - bbl

Usually at night, pain increases for everyone because there is nothing to distract you from it.

Ok going for lunch and to begin on the cleaning.....again....Will see you all after noon manana.....think good house buying thoughts.

12:15 pm

aww, bye kje

12:15 pm

bye red, one room at a time, it will get done!

12:16 pm

bye red

thanks for the support JBV, it means more than you know. its very emotional...who knew?

Nice, Other Monkey! I do like him a lot.

12:33 pm

Backatcha, stidgmere!

12:33 pm

back at ya stid

12:33 pm

So nice to be aboard to visit!

12:33 pm

i have the 4 letter word meaning to leave out (om4), how do I make an 8 out of that?

12:33 pm

Did it work, anaw?

12:34 pm

never mind! brain fart!!! just got it

12:34 pm

lil... to om** is an om******

12:34 pm

How about plural for the om?

12:34 pm

That which has been om4'd can use different consonants...

12:34 pm

no lol

12:34 pm

TY beachboggle gal!!!!

12:34 pm

Oh well.

12:34 pm

;-)

12:34 pm

littlebit, beachboggle gal lives relatively close to us... we should plan a get-together

12:35 pm

Nice to see another Stid, by the way. You folks are one nice family!

12:35 pm

really? didn't know that! that would be fun!

12:36 pm

beachboggle, you should get together one Saturday with littlebit and me

12:36 pm

yeah, we're loads of fun!

12:36 pm

Hey Other mOnkey, did I ever tell you the final diagnosis about my back?

12:36 pm

we'll have a pedicure fest!!!!!

12:36 pm

MoneyG we so enjoy our daughter and her family. Yesterday we put together a buche noel for the first time. The mushrooms on top with meringue were extraordinary!

12:36 pm

NO! MG, what is it????

12:36 pm

LOL

12:37 pm

I have no idea what that is, stidg, and it still sounds yummy!

12:37 pm

I have always wanted to make a Buche Noel.... was it difficult?

12:37 pm

Other Monkey, the x-rays showed two flattened discs with signs of older herniation and no treatment was deemed possible. It has more good days these days though...

12:37 pm

they are wonderful!!

12:38 pm

A Julia Child's recipe that she did on a TV show years and years ago that the frosting kept melting off the camera side because of hot lights. Our frosting stayed put.

12:38 pm

You're the one with my grandfather's book, right? Seashore Life of Southern California?

12:38 pm

Not difficult but tedious to make. We needed a designated sous chef just for washing pots and pans.

12:38 pm

I will look that up!

12:38 pm

watched a great show the other night about the owner of Le Cirque in NYC - he had his sons personally delivering buches noel to all the VIPs, like the mayor, etc. of course all perfectly put together and wrapped

12:38 pm

MonkeyG, what about mechanical or positional traction??? That should help

12:39 pm

LOl stidg.... I always need a dish person, when I cook....

12:39 pm

We ate the evidence; so, I will say our buche noel was perfectly put together.

12:39 pm

I am sure it was!.....

12:39 pm

Beachboggle. If you aren't far, I am available to wash dishes as needed. I am SO RETIRED! Love it.

12:40 pm

The orthopedist said nothing would help. He also described the cortisone shots as "hocus pocus" though so I am considering a second opinion... can you send me a very scholarly looking reference to the traction thing so I can impress my general practioner with it? Sound like something I'd like to try.

12:40 pm

Sweeeet!!!

12:40 pm

congratulations on your retirement, stidgmere - must be great

12:40 pm

yes MG, i will email you

12:41 pm

traction used to be a common way of treating disc prolems

12:41 pm

Monkey, as for cortisone shots, my husband's experience was definitely NOT positive - he found the shots painful, had a terrible reaction, and they did not help the pain

12:41 pm

JBV, now I have time and no excuses. I think sometimes luck is a big part of ones plans.

12:41 pm

Thank you so much! Let me know if there's anything I can ever do for you-- I'm making Cross a soapstone wolf. You want a picture of anything? Family member stipple portrait? Recipes? Proofreading?

12:42 pm

i have plenty of patients with back or knee pain who benefitted greatly from cortisone shots; hoever relief is temporary, and the long-term effects of cortisone on cartilage is detrimental

12:42 pm

JBV, I have heard that they work for some very well and for oithers not at or or even badly. However I object to the guy's description of them as "hocus pocus" in any case.

12:42 pm

Ah, did NOT know that detail, Other Monkey! I prefer pain to loss of function.

12:42 pm

cortisone is certainly not "hocus pocus" and neither is traction

12:43 pm

my mum had a month ish of traction on her back years and years ago, and that benefitted her greatly

12:43 pm

traction and bed rest were what worked for me

12:43 pm

MG I will email you about the traction... If you have the right equipment and/or know-how, you will be able to do it at home... No cost, No appointments, etc.

12:43 pm

but she also had to wear a plastic corset thing for agggges afterwards

12:43 pm

noosism should be a word, belief in capital punishment

12:44 pm

It's been 6 months now and I do seem to have left a severe acute phase behind... I would like to look into the traction.

12:44 pm

Good one, Harp! Sure should!

12:44 pm

MG i will email you some suggestions for the traction

12:44 pm

keep an open mind :)

12:44 pm

but since it's not, could someone clue the no7?

12:44 pm

aLWAYS DO.

12:45 pm

Oops, there goes that capslock thing again.

12:45 pm

Wish I couldm Harp, sorry!

12:45 pm

The Thailand nightclub fire is on the news... I am desperatley hoping my co-worker Nok was not there.

12:45 pm

no + vowel + not all

12:46 pm

OK must run.... bye all for now & HNY and lots of hugs :)

12:46 pm

Bye! Happy New Year!

12:46 pm

Did someone call for wind gusts! They arrived at my house just now. Don't need them.

12:46 pm

bye monkey!

12:46 pm

Goodbye lil*one.

12:46 pm

thanks, i didn't have "not all" either!

12:47 pm

Stidg? Did you see my question about you being the one who owns my grandfather's book?

12:47 pm

We get wind gusts like you Would Not Believe.

12:47 pm

No, I didn

12:47 pm

Well, are you theone with the copy of Seashore Life of Southern California?

12:47 pm

t see that question. I don't own the book, unfortunately about the tidepools but have always been a fan of your Grandfather!!

12:48 pm

Oh, what fun!

12:48 pm

gravey should be a word, sauce that kills you!

12:49 pm

Two part answer evidentally. So, you are in the lowlands? What wonderful people we met in Haarlem a few years ago.

12:49 pm

It's just always been fun for me coming across his work peripherally. Since to me he's always just been my grandfather Sam.

12:49 pm

Wish we'd known you then, we'd have given you the Grand Tour!

12:50 pm

Well, I have always looked at tidepools and shorelife with great interest and respect partly due to your Grandfather.

12:50 pm

Been here almost 16 years. We are naturalized and dual citizenship is not allowed, so now we're Dutch.

12:50 pm

Little Walter has always been Dutch.

12:51 pm

Well, We are on Puget Sound with the water 50 feet from my window. We look out at the changing tides and remark "There is never the same scene twice."

12:51 pm

I just realized that in 6 years I will have been here half my life. Weird.

12:51 pm

Nice!

12:51 pm

hello everyone... happy new year!

12:51 pm

yay for rock pools :)

12:51 pm

Some of our ancestors were Dutch, Stidmama may have told you about them.

12:51 pm

Ata, do YOU have my grandfather's book?

12:51 pm

i like the puget sound area

12:52 pm

Yes, rock pools are fascinating.

12:52 pm

I already have vernalagnia

12:52 pm

Oh yes,and how you folks preserve Sinterklaas because it's fun to have tradition, that sort of thing. She even reads a fair amount of Dutch!

12:52 pm

Well, harpjane, we can always have a reunion of Babblers in our area. Just let us know when.

12:53 pm

Stidmama is an amazing woman. She is the linguistic one of our family.

12:53 pm

well, it's a ten hour drive....

12:54 pm

I must say I'm very impressed with her, not least because her high intelligence, giving and compassionate nature, and sense of humor.

12:54 pm

no, I don't think I do. I only have books on the west coast sealif

12:54 pm

*life

12:54 pm

ONly ten hours? Well, why no? Gas prices are almost mangageable. By the time the snow melts ad the rivers go down, summer is almost around the corner.

12:55 pm

And Southern California is not West Coast because..... ?

12:55 pm

because I have oregon books LOL

12:55 pm

sorry. not very awake

12:56 pm

Hi everyone!

12:56 pm

Gotcha! ;-)

12:56 pm

I have a book on grey whale migration patterns around Baja California!

12:56 pm

Hi Autumn!

12:56 pm

Exactly, Washington used to be OREGON territory. So, I think your book will work in Washington.

12:56 pm

Oooh, nice!

12:56 pm

I thought you said Florida even though my brain knew you didn;t *facepalm*

12:57 pm

I saw two of them playing at the base of a cliff. It was astounding. They were in very shallow water, and very clearly playing.

12:57 pm

Anyway, I must concentrate because I have 227 words left and there is not enough time in 11 hours for me to come even close to fireworks.

12:57 pm

Wrestling like puppies, then one would back off and poke the other like "chase me"...

12:57 pm

Have fun, Stidg!

12:58 pm

And they were so BIG and directly below me.

12:58 pm

yes .... amazing what males will do for sex :P

12:58 pm

I could see their eyeballs and individual barnacles....

12:58 pm

I could see their eyeballs and individual barnacles....

http://www.britishcolumbia.com/whalewa tch/ sorry for not using tinyurl

12:59 pm

I suppose that could easily have been it, Ata, but I had th efeeling they were young, maybe even siblings.

12:59 pm

vi5/18?

12:59 pm

grey whales inshore tend to mean matine

12:59 pm

*mating

1:00 pm

but it could have been youngsters just playing

OK, Wallace and Grommit is on.... good to know Ata... off with me!

1:00 pm

whale love?

1:00 pm

when youngsters the size of Jeeps start playing, the world notices!

1:00 pm

I thought young whales practices abstinence

hey ruru. When do you leave?

there's kinda a fine line 60's thing going. One side is Maynard g. and Laugh In and then the other side is Timothy Leary and Kent State and Chicago riots. That's more what I remember

the company was people wanting to pseak about their divorce stories. one man and five women

2:22 pm

Gisèle MacKenzie Your Hit Parade

2:22 pm

Stid "brain fart" around here means temporary memory loss

2:22 pm

I loved laugh-in (on re-runs of course) -- so do my children!

sounds fun TO!

now THAT is just what i'd do when meeting folks for the first time on the day to leave the old year behind. i think they mistook it for the divroce support group.

It was great!!

2:22 pm

eek, not exactly uplifting material TO

2:22 pm

yes, that is part of the symptoms -- also speech problems and some one-sided weakness.

2:22 pm

I loved laugh=in the first time around. But was in a nearby college when Kent state.

stid sound like a mini storoke.

2:23 pm

oh dear mixi -- that must have been scary

2:23 pm

Did the guy at least get some numbers?

tut torg!

2:24 pm

yes, exactly -- but not a TIA -- and actual bleeder in this case.

i don't know. shall i call and ask him? ;)

2:24 pm

There was talk of closing the college and then the seniors wouldn't graduate.

2:24 pm

hmmm, lost connection for a while, back again

wb flosey & HNY

2:24 pm

scary for child and parents stid, hope all turns out well

60's were weird but great years, too. Most of the people I know from that time grew up to be very synical ( me included)

2:25 pm

hello flosey -- we have some pretty strong gusts here. are your trees still standing? The big fig tree brushed against the gutter a little while ago and sounded like it was going to tear it off!

2:25 pm

4 dead in Ohio and 2 and 12 wounded at Jackson State

2:25 pm

Happy New Year Flosey!

2:26 pm

2:27 pm

what's that from BabRab?

2:27 pm

does that man NEVER stop with the projects??? you want to come here? Tom is doing dishes with great industriousness, but otherwise all is quiet

2:28 pm

Yeah, freshman week, there were signs all over campus come have a ri4. It was practice for the national guard. Ended with tear gas. and one girl got a boyonet through her heel.

2:28 pm

Sa va bien ma fille. We are going to fix lunch before watching the Rose Bowl Game.

HA i was the only one who laughed and mom got mad

3:49 pm

It's hanging by a wire and just looks like we are so trashy!

3:50 pm

when we got up this morning we had no water. THAT was a good time, with 3 extra bodies in the bathrooms. got the "if it's yellow" speech - always a good time. Called R and turns out he is spending the day in West Palm Beach, on a boat with a work friend. Sigh.

3:50 pm

*I* figured out how to fix the water though, all my myself. Dad was mad impressed.

3:51 pm

ugh i feel bad

3:51 pm

YA!!!! GIRL POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:51 pm

So he didn't come back did he??? Don't think THAT won't come up! I am impressed too; it's amazing what strength we women have isn't it? That work friend sounds really "chummy."

3:51 pm

sing it with me - so what, I am a rock star, I got my rock moves, and I don't neeeeeddd yoooooooo

3:51 pm

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

babble, the well had run dry, so I turned off the pump at the junction box and let it refill and then started it again. good times.

3:53 pm

Ya...of course. I have a bridge I'd like to sell to you...

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

during the night water usage I expect would be less why was the well dry? freeze?

3:56 pm

babble, that is no doubt the mystery of the ages. one would think that, with a foot of snow on the ground, there was plenty of ground water to be had. not sure what that was about. Will maybe leave a trickle going tonight, though I do hate to do that.

3:56 pm

we certainly have had colder freezes than this without incurring any problems

4:06 pm

hey everyone, i'm kind of new at this. could someone explain what it means when you write things like "mi6" or sometimes I see something like "mi6/12"?

4:07 pm

twg, that means that someone found a 6 letter word that starts with MI. Two letter is really all anyone puts in a clue

4:07 pm

Just the kitchen faucet, whose pipe goes along the outside wall. We do save some water for our plants.

4:07 pm

Hi twg...you might want to start with the HELP icon above the chat log...

4:07 pm

mi 6/21 means it is a 6 letter word, beginning with mi, and worth 21 points

4:07 pm

(the first number refers to the number of letters in the word, the 2nd is the point value of the word with a multiplier)

4:07 pm

4:28 pm

Hi, west and pini!

4:28 pm

4:28 pm

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!!

4:29 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

oh, not anymore. I'm living in Baltiimore now.

4:30 pm

Funny how the religious hospital became such a good fit for you 8-)

4:30 pm

Hi, vedaman

4:30 pm

are the sand cranes free?

Yes, its nice, a nice bonus etc, but...I must sell.

4:30 pm

got it ;)

4:30 pm

butterflies are

The cranes are free, Babble! Hello, but they live in Florida.

4:31 pm

hey pam

Pam its still wierd, they pray every morning and sporadically over the intercom.

4:31 pm

is there a realtor you trust in Chapel Hill, red?

4:31 pm

Oh, that is WAAAY to weird for me, red 8-)

I went with Re Max, it being big. I bought from Coldwell banker but they didnt market the house well...so...

4:31 pm

do you think they would lay hands on my head? 8-)

4:32 pm

Have heard good things about ReMax....

Pam, they might they dont really do stuff like that, they are vegetarians etc...

4:32 pm

vegetarians? that's helpful-- all religions can safely eat there....

they serve like, soy bacon in the cafeteria....drives some people nuts.

4:33 pm

do you have to sell now? can you rent until the market changes?

4:33 pm

i would be happy! But, I know people who have thyroid issues from too much soy....

I really dont want to rent, and a few homes in my neighborhood have recently sold for a similar value as my house used to be valued at, so....Because of the Uni, people are still moving in and out...

4:34 pm

there are some pigs than can't bring home the bacon

Babble this is true, how is ND?

4:35 pm

oh pam never heard that will pass it on to daughter and son-in-law they are both vegetarians and use soy but also eat fish

4:35 pm

red it's always good to be near a uni or two

Apparently people with certain cancer historys in family shoudl limit soy intake.

4:35 pm

record december snowfall and storm warnings for tonight pretty normal

4:36 pm

normal sucks

Well, the 30 degree weather is enough for me...You people who live up here and above are just nuts.

4:37 pm

ved..you like Baltimore...know anything about MICA?

4:37 pm

is the last br7 related to the one that precedes it?

4:37 pm

others have it worse, only cold when the temperature drops

Admittedly Chapel Hill is more beyoootiful than Florida, but...

4:37 pm

yes, ved, one letter dif a the end

4:37 pm

I like living outside Chapel Hill

4:38 pm

at the end

You could enjoy living in Chapel Hill Mixi6 for a very little money, this is one motivated seller.

4:39 pm

cold is overrated

but I live out in the Chatham co part of Ch hill, so its like being outside.

4:39 pm

sorry, I wandered....

4:40 pm

I live in Chatham county.

4:40 pm

westford, I eat fish, so I don't identify as a vegetarian, but I limit soy because one friend's thyroid is really bad due to it...

Well, I am selling in Chatham county!

4:40 pm

we talkham you chatham

4:40 pm

Red, in Cambridge, near Harvard, MIT, Lesley, etc, the market is down but not as bad as other areas due to the universities...

4:41 pm

I am barely over the county line. Where are you?

Thats what they are telling me here, plus my home is not one of the Neuvo Riche things, its a normal sized home.

Mixi, we probably live in the same neighbourhood, the house I am trying to selll is in Polks Landing...

4:41 pm

excellent,red.

4:42 pm

That's about 2 miles south of me.

Wow! Hello Neighbour! Must admit though for at least years I have not lived in it. I just use it as a tax address.

4:43 pm

that is one thing about living in an igloo very little upkeep

4:43 pm

bbl

Babble, you live in a Hammok, not an igloo, dont spead false rumors!

4:43 pm

I looked at a couple of places in Polk's landing when I moved here 14 years ago.

4:43 pm

bye, bye birdee

4:43 pm

Its a funny neighbourhood isnt it Mixi? Some funny homes...

4:44 pm

I'm on the highway. I expect someday, someone will offer to buy me out for business for $$$$$$$.

Oh for certain. they are already planning the "Polks Village" (another shopping strip) which I think is unnecessary. :(

I wish they would buy me out.

Well, I keep getting really upset, I also swept the deck and then...saw some more maintainance that I have to do! Whoo Hoo for normal arguements. What did he cook?

4:53 pm

hi all

4:53 pm

he still needs me to bend down and get pots and run back and forth to the pantry, etc. and he hates that

4:54 pm

br 7 --- like the preceding br 4 and the other br 7 is acting like one

hi knitter.

4:54 pm

i have a ham in the oven (cloves, pineapple, the whole works) and he's making rice and gandules, a puerto rican dish

4:54 pm

how is everyone today?

4:54 pm

pigeon peas

5:05 pm

Hello all :-) Snowshoeing has been rescheduled for Saturday, so here I am again!

5:05 pm

(-: gheez, make my day, Scrabbs.. blush

5:05 pm

blue!!!!!!

5:06 pm

sometimes it just gets in the way, since I'm seeing a lot of words that are not allowed - brisa, for example

5:06 pm

Scrabs, could I ask you sort of a general pediatrician question?

5:06 pm

And it is fun to say, Aloy!

5:06 pm

excellent books.....i highly recommend them.....they feature FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast

5:06 pm

never heard of elms but i did know where chicopee was

5:06 pm

Hey Pam!! :-D HNY!

5:06 pm

I have forgotten most of what I have learned language-wise.

5:06 pm

Of course, Bichon.

5:06 pm

started studying languages in HS - went to a HS where you could "major" in languages, had 7 years of french and spanish by hs graduation

5:06 pm

happy to you, too!

5:06 pm

private school out there (translation expensive)

5:06 pm

nice name, lkdubb... very nice..

5:06 pm

hello cousin, how does 2009 look to you so far?

JBV, I keep seeing Mira. which is a word I use on a very frequent basis. but not allowed.

5:06 pm

what is the genral consensus on feeding an infant under the age of one salmon?

5:06 pm

wow JBV, in high school?? That's awesome.

5:07 pm

I took a few languages but don't remember much...

5:07 pm

Hi stidmama :-D HNY!

5:07 pm

2009 is the ye4 I turn 50!! It's here, that ye4 we thought about when we were younger.

5:07 pm

i have enough trouble with english

5:07 pm

and rima, red (rhyme)

5:07 pm

((stid)))

5:07 pm

hi Scrabbs

5:07 pm

I think salmon would be fine--it is the shellfish that are more allergenic.

5:08 pm

already, scrabbler??? wow...

yes, but thank goodness, I dont use rima very often. Mira just keeps jumping out at me.

5:08 pm

My 50's were some great ye**s

5:08 pm

can someone clue the other em8? I have the thing that the EPA regulates....

5:08 pm

hello amy! happy 2009 to you too!

5:08 pm

is rima the word for red?

5:08 pm

okay, back to the poker game

5:08 pm

pam, add an e to the other mi 7 (e + letter)

5:08 pm

What about mercury levels. MOst of the salmon in this country is farmed and has higher mercury levels?

5:08 pm

no, sorry, pam, rima is rhyme in spanish

5:08 pm

I know, I don't act like I am almost 50.

5:08 pm

oh. jbv...

5:09 pm

I don't act like I'm 62, fortunately

5:09 pm

ok, so i guess i need a different mi7?

5:09 pm

Yes, some fish are higher in mercury. There is a list on the net, I am sure.

i feel like i am 70 today.

5:09 pm

beautiful age, 50 ... beautiful

a fancy way to say write a letter Pam, you pen a Mi*****...

5:09 pm

mi 7 --- some believe parents these days are too per + mi 7

5:10 pm

red, you've had a stress day. First you froze your butt off, and add the anxiety of selling a house.

5:10 pm

2009 is my ye4 to declutter, get organized and climb further away from debt. I have $722 remaining on my mortgage!

5:10 pm

oh, christ, that's whta babbler meant earlier... this head ain't workin' LOL thank you all!!!!

5:10 pm

put an e and o in front of the mi 7 for 8s

5:10 pm

good for you scrabbler! we have about that much times ten to the million (or so) left on our mortgage

5:10 pm

ooh, i see a mortgage burning party in the future..

5:10 pm

$722 is nothing on a mortgage3

5:10 pm

thanks,babbler... got

5:11 pm

em

5:11 pm

excellent, scrabs

5:11 pm

lol, stid..

5:11 pm

that's awesome, Scrabbler

5:11 pm

We paid off our mortgage years ago so retirement wouldn't be a problem

that is nothing on a Mortgage. definitely a Mort brun time. I just wanna give mine to someone else.

5:12 pm

great when you can do it, Bichon

5:12 pm

clue for ey 6 please

5:12 pm

I have paid $415 every 2 wks for 19.5 yrs. Soon I have to find out how to SAFELY save this money away.

5:12 pm

Of course we still have to pay property tax. That goes up every year

5:13 pm

ey 6 --- sight organ and tavern

CD's are pretty safe Scrabbs, I lost nothing there, of course they only earn a little bit, but still.

5:13 pm

Yep, property taxes every March, school taxes every October.

5:13 pm

ocular body part + what drinkers belly up to

5:13 pm

NOthing much is really safe anymore

5:13 pm

TY, BR

5:14 pm

Taking a great to get sup on...thanks all for clues and my best for a happy new "period of time" to all of you!

5:14 pm

scrabbler, just read about your mortgage - that is definitely something to celebrate!

5:14 pm

same to you, kadresa

5:14 pm

Bye kadresa

I am a bit jealous of Scrabbs. But not of her Plowing expenses.

5:15 pm

Yes, JBV, I am very excited to be at this point. Now I have to save $ and also do some remodeling.

5:15 pm

$320 this winter and so far with 10 plows done

Oooh pergo floors. My dream

5:16 pm

Yes, I want laminate flooring--my dream too.

5:17 pm

It's my goal this spring...with the new pup and all, the carpets are now shot!

5:17 pm

So, red, you are selling your house in NC and then planning to buy where?

5:17 pm

I want to get my kitchen floors done--coupleof years...

5:17 pm

Hi Pini

5:18 pm

hi scrabs ;)

No plan to buy again for a while, but eventually to buy in Florida.

5:18 pm

I think grates would be great flooring just hose them down and empty into sewer system

but i just hope someone wants to buy it. at all.

5:18 pm

scrabs...can I ask you a question about insomnia?

hi guys & HNY everyone

5:18 pm

that'd work for me, BR!!!

There's the rub

I have never sold a home and so i am not feeling very exciting...

5:18 pm

Tough on the feet, BR.

5:18 pm

but don't drop anything valuable, BR

We have a place for sale in Florida

5:18 pm

not with shoes

5:19 pm

Yes, Pini, I am an insomniac, somewhat recovered though.

5:19 pm

Hi Lindy

beach, it is probably n ot where I want it. I'm really well settled in Clermont.

5:19 pm

I have a dau who's self-diagnosed herself with it...

Is it in Clermont?

5:19 pm

Insomnia just means difficulty with sleep--many, many causes!!

5:19 pm

...I think if she actually got up in the morning at the same time every day and likewise went to sleep at a "decent" time she'd actually be able to sleep at night...

5:20 pm

if people would only sleep more there would be less insomnia

5:20 pm

now that is so true, BR!

5:20 pm

Yes, sleep hygiene is crucial.

I was mentioning it, because, it is difficult to sell right now... good luck with your sale. :-)

5:20 pm

(only because if I got up at noon, I'd have a hard time going to bed at 10-11pm, too)!

5:20 pm

Haha, BR.

Scrabbs, correct me if I am wrong, but I have been encourged to go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the same time...

5:20 pm

back again... (sorta)

5:21 pm

sleep hygiene? like someone could brush my teeth for me while I sleep? *hopeful look*

Florida is a tough market, Beach. Its like #3 state for foreclosure etc. I wish you lots of luck (Guess it isnt in Clermont!)

5:21 pm

Yes, our brain/body performs best when on a routine.

5:21 pm

except mine. which is weird

I think that may be why I am so bent out of shape.

5:22 pm

aslo, bed is for sleeping not reading and watching television....

5:22 pm

Hi Ata. My brain is weird too, but it is my best feature.

5:22 pm

clue for gr 7 please

5:22 pm

oops gl 7

5:22 pm

hi, ata

5:22 pm

Now if I could get her to understand that the excuse of "I'm not a morning person" just doesn't work...it's the routine that would help...I'd be getting somewhere!

5:22 pm

hello all, back to find my last 38 words

5:22 pm

Bunny Sebastian is thumping in his room. I wonder what is bothering him?

5:22 pm

But I fall asleep best while reading. Always have.

5:22 pm

gl7 = beautiful

gl 7 is a mag for women about high fashion

5:22 pm

I really can't deal with routine, it screws my sleep up even more than normal. I wonder if its cos my body works more to its internal bipolar ups and downs than the day/night rhythm

5:22 pm

hi, peri

5:23 pm

hope he's okay, scrabs?

5:23 pm

gl 7 --- fashion magazine

5:23 pm

Hi Peri--go, go, go!

5:23 pm

are you an insomniac, bichon?

5:23 pm

I NEED to read in order to fall asleep.

Hi peri.!

5:23 pm

and hi :)

5:23 pm

my 13 year old has periods of no sleep at all..just happened last night..she has been up since yesterday morning with not a wink

5:23 pm

i fall asleep best with the lights on and noise in the background... but Tom needs it dark, COLD, and quiet.

I am getting to be a better sleeper lately.

5:23 pm

me too, Scrabbs... book is essential

5:23 pm

or g + an actress, dorothy l*****

5:23 pm

that's how I was, krista....

5:23 pm

No, not at all. I just have been conditioned from childhood to read, fall asleep.

No book. Just need snuggly stuff.

5:23 pm

me too. there were years when I could only go to sleep listening to Guns n Roses. that was amusing

5:24 pm

I sleep in the dark with the tv on in the background (white noise) on a timer...

Book for me.....

5:24 pm

I do better with exercise and good brain activity. If I am bored, I don't sleep well

5:24 pm

Gun & Roses to fall asleep---LOL

5:24 pm

wow, just listening to this, I realize how lucky I am - I have never had a moment's trouble falling or staying asleep, but I do read before turning off the light

5:24 pm

as a kid, i needed a radio in the background....

5:24 pm

I try to take a nap before I fall to sleep so I can stay on a regular schedule

5:24 pm

Krista, you are about to win our Scrabble game.

5:24 pm

did u grow out of it, Pam? She actually takes something every night for sleep...doesnt always work

5:24 pm

hello all, back to find my last 38 words

5:24 pm

Pini, how old is your daughter? and is this interfering with her daily routine?

5:25 pm

hello peri! happy 2009!

5:25 pm

I did and Ididn't, krista.

5:25 pm

thats one of the only things I hate about bipolar - my dr *refuses* to give my sleeping tablets and some months I would give my right leg for them!

I still have no u's

5:25 pm

She's 25.5 and "jobless" (so I think that contributes)

5:25 pm

nnnnnnnnnnnnn

5:25 pm

LOL, BR.. makes sense, absolutomento

5:25 pm

Pini, how old is your daughter? The teen/adolescent brain has a different Circadian rhythm--falls asleep very late, wakes up at 9-10 AM. Studies in the last 10 yrs have revealed a lot about the teen brain.

5:26 pm

oh cool, Scrabs...that doesnt happen too often

jobless can contribute to not getting up that early etc.

5:26 pm

What Ihave finally learned to embrace is that Igo to bed when I am tired. ANd only when I am tired. And, when I get up, I get up for theday. NEver havebeen able to take naps...

5:26 pm

I have a son who likes to stay up into the wee hours, but he managed to find himself a job that works with that schedule, so i just let it be

i love naps, but only when I am running a lot. which is not now, but soon to be, I hope.

5:26 pm

I'd like to see her actually get a job that isn't "seaosonal"!!! I'm sure a "regular" routine would work...

5:26 pm

I have read about that, scrabs.

5:26 pm

Scrabs, she's 25.5

5:26 pm

I take a low-grade antidepressant to help me sleep when I have too much anxiety... usually need it this time of year since the seasonal grey moods trigger more anxiety anyway.

5:27 pm

we are starting to think that could be a diagnosis for my daughter, Ata..she has Asperger's, so there are lots of comorbid conditions...nice to see ya, btw :)

5:27 pm

(((krista)))!

5:27 pm

I take melatonin nightly. It helps me sleep more deeply.

5:28 pm

I took melatonin for jet lag when I went to Africa. I think I was sleepy for two days

5:28 pm

i want to try that with her, Pam..i hate that she has to take something so young, but god knows we tried everything else..she didn't sleep well since birth

5:28 pm

if I want to sleep more deeply, I lower the hammock

5:28 pm

EN 6 please?

5:28 pm

Stidmama, I bought a light box a few yrs ago, for SAD in the winter.

5:28 pm

some people never seem to sleep well, krista

5:28 pm

Haha, BR!

5:28 pm

its not a very good diagnosis, krista as it covers such a huge range of conditions (I think), like autism / aspergers. You just need to find someone who will treat her rather than the label

5:29 pm

help with ur 5/12 please

5:29 pm

Yes, I have full-spectrum lights almost everywhere in the house and turn them ALL on when I can (Tom turns them off behind me though) that helps -- as do the skylights (when the office is decluttered enough for me to use, that is)

5:29 pm

Autism spectrum disorder..key word is spectrum.

5:29 pm

i had one, Scrabs...it didnt help much...you are right, Ata..it has been a long road

5:29 pm

en 6/18 --- add midnight at the desert green spot: *a***

5:29 pm

ur 5/12 is like the little mermaid

5:29 pm

ur + currency of Iran

5:29 pm

thanks BR!

5:29 pm

ty stid

5:29 pm

yes. spectrum. same for "bipolar"

5:30 pm

chat was not working right for me

5:30 pm

i suck at currency Miz but ty lol

5:30 pm

krista, i never sleptwell as a kid.

5:30 pm

I had to google it from a previous clue

5:30 pm

Me either, Pam. Only in the last yr or so have I started to sleep well on most nights.

5:31 pm

I think MOST people are not classic "anything" to be honest... we all have additional factors in our lives that play into how we respond to treatments

5:31 pm

My parents gave up, let me go to sleep when Iwanted. I would read inthe living room or watch t.v...

5:31 pm

oops, gotta go.. see you all next grid, Babblers.. byee

5:31 pm

true, Stid...it's just part of her nature..but when she doesnt sleep for almost 40 hours it's awful

5:31 pm

So many variables

5:31 pm

hello all. just to jump in - I take concerta and lexapro, and I have found that simply sleep works great for helping me sleep. I do feel *slightly* mrs. robinson-ish, taking my "pills" but what can I say? my life is a suckfest at the moment, and it is helping my problems be life-sized

5:31 pm

oh wow krista -- that stinks.

5:31 pm

later aloyisius!

5:31 pm

be well, Aloyisius

5:31 pm

I sleep better as an adult. Also, my anxiety disorder is under control, and that makes a HUGE difference 8-)

5:32 pm

Hi, tri

5:32 pm

hello pam

5:32 pm

yeah, school was hard for me because I was such a night owl..we homeschool so that helps..if she had to get up for school it would be a nightmare

5:32 pm

first GR 6 please?

5:32 pm

no pun intended

5:32 pm

absolutely stid. it's kinda odd. when you first get diagnosed with something like bipolar, for the first year or so you cling to that diagnosis as a lifeline - finally someone understands somethings wrong. Then slowly you begin to realise that the diagnosis means very little, how you react to your individual treatment means everything

5:32 pm

pam, did I mi4 what you are taking to work with your anxiety disorder? any and all opinions welcome...

5:32 pm

ciao, aloy

5:33 pm

Hi Trif, your life is in transition and soon you will reflect back and be proud that you got through it.

5:33 pm

gr 6 = gr4/8 + **tire (all)

5:33 pm

I have considered going back to homeschooling for the younger kid -- when he hits high school age, he is a true night owl, and the high school starts SO early and we live so far away that it will be very difficult for him. We'll see.

5:33 pm

I don't take anything for it.

5:33 pm

clue for am 6/21, mi5/14, 6/21, 7/36, ur 7/36 and 8/50 please

5:33 pm

Trifioso - whatever works...it's great there are tx for things people used to have to suffer through

5:33 pm

last six and my brain has shut down

5:33 pm

I will (hopefully) be halfway through the master's by then which will make it easier for us to do)

5:33 pm

gr 6 -- gr** bag and number: t**

5:33 pm

go miz go!

5:33 pm

am plus girls name r***

5:33 pm

am6 = am + ladie's name

5:34 pm

that's part of the teen brain research..some schools start later to accomodate it!

5:34 pm

oh! tri! ((((((hugs)))))) happy 2009! *tosses the rest of the candy canes*

5:34 pm

thanks again BR

5:34 pm

I have learned how to breathe through it, to tell myself it will be oK, etc. And, I know how tohelp myself. And, my ptsd was treated...

5:34 pm

am 6 --- first of actess Hayworth

5:34 pm

am + female name, **** hayworth or Moreno

5:34 pm

Gs gone

5:34 pm

thanks pinikula!

5:34 pm

ne6 pls

5:34 pm

ne6 pls

5:34 pm

down to 48.

5:34 pm

5 more!

5:34 pm

mi is sound cat makes..all vowels

5:35 pm

however, tri, when I witnessed a suicide, I did take Atavan for a few days to cope.

5:35 pm

I do not like this grid. Not with a fox. Not in a box. I do not like this grid, Sam I am.

5:35 pm

fireworks for me...that grid took me ages!

5:35 pm

ne 6 compund word close + preposition

5:35 pm

GEEZ Pam thats awful

5:35 pm

LOL, scrabs

5:35 pm

i agree scrabbler

5:35 pm

Yahoo Kazozz

5:35 pm

yep, krista. it was

5:35 pm

mi 5 -- add audible reading: *l**d

5:35 pm

lol scrab..it is a yucky one

5:36 pm

everyone knows about the research and yet nothing is really done about it - our hs starts at 7:15!! thank goodness I am no longer a teacher, I would never be able to handle that first period class

Scrabbs, I am with you I am hating the grid.

5:36 pm

breathing is good... when I get overwhelmed these days I go to my "happy place" (babble land)

5:36 pm

I guess I'm lucky in a way. I feel no distaste towards taking drugs to keep on the straight and narrow - I'd be dead without that. It helps me remember they are good things!

5:36 pm

Ev4 with the list I am just staring at the grid and seeing so few words. 102 to go.

5:36 pm

peri, did you get the ne6?

5:36 pm

the other thing, and then I'll stop, whenmy partner betrayed and left me two years ago, I had a great network of friends who recognized I needed to talk and be validated. And, babblers helped, too, by supporting my grieving...

5:36 pm

it's brutal how early school starts - for everyone

5:36 pm

TWO YEARS AGO?

5:37 pm

Miz what else did u need?

5:37 pm

4 more

5:37 pm

wow, it still seems like a few months ago!

5:37 pm

mi 6/21 -- add midnight at the *a***

5:37 pm

that's how my brother feels, ata. about meds...

5:37 pm

thanks bichon, was getting a headache looking for that ne6

5:37 pm

While I was making dinner tonight, hubby snuck onto the grid and put in 20 words. Is that cheating?

5:37 pm

wow, pam you've been through a lot

5:37 pm

LOL,ata, tellme about it!!!

5:37 pm

the first 2 UR and mi 6/21 and 7/36

They changed our school staart times to 9:30 for Middle schoolers and 7:45 for high schoolers and parents freaked, so we shall go back even though it saved some trillions of bussing costs.

5:37 pm

no bichon, that is helping

5:37 pm

wow, I'm stunned! time does fly sometimes!

5:37 pm

can you send him over here bichon? I need 49!

5:37 pm

we work on impressing one of our children with the importance of getting his meds consistently. I worry though about what will happen when he is on his own in a few years -- one of them is very expensive.

5:37 pm

i am the poster child for antidepressants..been on since 1990...changed by life

5:37 pm

mi 7/36 is the mi 4/5 plus opposite of in!

5:37 pm

5:37 pm

Some high schools in the US have recognized that teens are asleep in classes until 9:30, so start times were moved or some schools have made the first 2 periods non-academic classes.

5:39 pm

89 for me, but I gotta go home soon. and clean some more.

5:39 pm

5:39 pm

thanks, krista. But, i think a lotof us have!

5:39 pm

school districts that have busing (like ours) have to schedule the same buses for 3 runs (elem, middle, hs) so someone has to start early - but it should be the little ones, i think

5:39 pm

I am naturally a morning person, have more trouble since Tom is NOT... but he does fine getting up early (or so he says) after staying up quite late

5:40 pm

ur 7 --- add term for low red cell blood count: *n****; pl

5:40 pm

5:40 pm

thanks BR

5:40 pm

and Kazozz

5:40 pm

I think busing in the cities will be phased out for a while -- little rural districts really can't because it's the only way we can be sure some of the kids will get a ride to school.

5:41 pm

what is your country today, Pam? I am terrible at world flags..guess you'll be back in the US, soon :)

5:41 pm

as i said i'm a wet blanket , its obvious by his confusion that no adult is about and now i am off before i blow a fuse, i let my grandchildren babble when i am on , but don't allow them to go on chat, you cannot be too careful

11:03 pm

ne 4 -- add a blood carrier: **in

11:04 pm

andree, who are you freaking out about? I am not sure what your concern is....

11:04 pm

be well, Andree

11:04 pm

We're close...any help on the last ma 5/18?

11:04 pm

I think it is about bad habits rather than this chat

11:04 pm

Trif, Andree is concerned about yogo being in the chog (as many of us are as well)...there was a good discussion about his/her participation yesterday, too

11:05 pm

ma + ***ual (eye related)

11:05 pm

11:06 pm

I think you have a while yet trif :-)

11:06 pm

you must have all the ma 5;s then, yes?

11:06 pm

lol trif

11:07 pm

ma5/18 x 3 are all similar (just the ends are slightly different)

11:07 pm

ma 5/18 a powerful person

11:07 pm

yogo was fine... and furthermore, this group of people is fine... I understand your being careful, but this is one of the best sites there is

11:07 pm

No, there are 4 ma5's we're missing the last ma 5/18 on the list

11:07 pm

ma5/20 = ma*** you'll get this clue???

11:07 pm

even for chat... because whenever we get an abuser, he/she is turned out very quickly

11:08 pm

do you have an ma 5/20?

11:08 pm

there are 3 ma5/18's and 1 ma5/20

11:08 pm

I clued the last ma 5/18

We have 17 Auntie C...any help EB with the la 5/12, la 6/21, la 5/10 and la 6/30?

11:10 pm

good point, jmc...but we can't force the child out if s/he chooses to keep coming back...if s/he continues to return, the only thing we can do is either ignore or assist in a positive manner...yes? no?

11:10 pm

I think that is what Andree was concerned about. . .although perhaps a little emotional :-)

11:10 pm

it helps that I am 43 and have two degrees, sec

11:10 pm

and, I cheat!

11:10 pm

11:14 pm

11:14 pm

i understand andre's concern, i have 6 grandkids, the older ones i would encourage to come here, because they love games, their parents control their home pcs so i don't worry about reckless surfing for them or chat rooms
