frances, he's in my flickr pix
My G.f just tried to go to work and the nice emergency service people said no. So she went the looong way
Infernal it sounds like the fires are getting nearer to you. Is that correct?
and, frances, since I suggested this icon theme I thought I'd better follow it!
Not near me they are in the hills about an hour from here. My g.f lives that way

hi all, just logging in to say, we are under ember attack. if you don't hear from me in the near future, it's probably because everything has gone. * sigh * wish they would catch whoever is starting these b..... fires.
are you serious granny? Take care, and we're thinking of you.
very serious lori. the fire is going strong on the other side of the hill
from a grannie in NSW to a granny in VIC "BIG HUGZZ" hopefully stay safe, thinking of you all..XOXOXO
Fingers are crossed for you and yours granny. Stay safe.
back again
rose, how awful, stay safe and keep us up to date
Hi Andree
is the car packed
ta all. playing babble to keep my mind off it. we are all packed, ready to go
now i won't be able to think of anything else rose
Andree where abouts are you?
sydney diz
and you diz
me too cambelltown area
oh, my, best of luck, g.rose! stay safe!
camPbelltown
belrose here
not too far away depends on which roads you take LOL
lol diz
lol, good answer diz
far out grannyrose!!
i sincerely hope that they contain that fire!
i think rose wishes she was far out mrp
that is sucky andree!
what a sucky situation!! I wish her well... how you going?
lol dtr had to go to canterbury and was getting instructions off her navcam (or whatever its called) in the end I dragged out the street directory and showed her the fastest route
there is a way you can press fastest route on the gps, i only just found it, it took me only on main roads sometimes in huge circles
i am fine mrp, are you expecting me on sunday?
indeedy do! however... child has gone ahead and planned a birthday party. So... you can come bang heads with them!
ooh who's birthday
Maddison is 11 tomorrow!
This grid is way more gooder than yesterday. So far.....
The r sucks, but that's to be expected, since it's connected to an e.
happy birthday to maddie tomorrow
thanks andree!
i need to go make cakes... lots and lots of cupcakes... am building a cake from them
hi all
G'd morning josh
a cupcake tier is a great idea
hi josh
36 left after the first sweep, time for the second pot of coffee.
you guys aren't going to believe this... but my sister-in-law and her son and his family have arrived HERE!!!!!! they saw the smoke and didn't think it was anything to be worried about. grrrr! now i have another 3 adults and a CHILD to worry about.
Ahh, that's why 2 missign words taunted me from the top e.A 7/8
wow granny, that's a lack of foresight on their part.
Nohing like ratcheting up the stress factor.
NBT
did they drop in for coffee or what, how strange
i prefer to think that they are as dense as the smoke around here. who in the heck drives INTO a bush fire zone???
enrol them in densa
Really now, what were they thinking ? Is it safe to send them back where they should be?
Yay, josh! Just got it myself! :)
well it is mother mac's 90th birthday today, but, really, don't you think they could have called ahead or something?
A phone call? Too obvious, it could never work.
going out to do another round of ember check. brb
send them home and get them to take mother with them, say its for her safety
rose what suburb are you iin
andree, we are in upper FTG. it's too close to sit comfortably.
f?tg
ferntree gully, in the foothills of the dandenongs
stay safe rose
Is there just 1 az word?
i have one, but think there is another
All righty then. Thanks Andree.
good morning everyone, am at work so will be in and out of the grid:)
Hi jean! ***wheeeeee***
Gah, there is a 2nd az Andree. Just change the consonant
lol
I love greeting you jean, it makes my day. :)
lol I aim to please:)
I mean really, all you have to do is show up, so what's not to love about that! :D
Lol well the sun is shining here I now have a job that allows me to use the computer, and I know you like to greet me so what better way to start the day lol
thx lori and hi jean
Hi Andree:)
update.smoke has cleared, number of trucks in attendance has dropped from over 200 to 22. whew! that was a close one!
That is excellent news granny!
still keep your eye on it rose, in case wind changes
sure is. work called, they have taken me off the roster for tomorrow. they realised that i would be stressed to the max. with friday predicted to be 36 c, i think i will stay home then as well.
fantastic, granny xxx
hey all

Sleep tight josh
just watching fires near you on 7.30 report rose
scary, huh?
morning all
G'd morning sprite
hi sprite
hi lori
very scary rose, it must be terrifying
scary indeed
well, andree, i survived the ash wednesday fires, ( which gave me a very healthy respect for what bushfires can do ) and i'll survive this!
i know you will rose, i am sure if you need to leave you will in plenty of time
please do. We need you alive and well, rose.
are your visitors still there
thank-you, my bbl buddies.
nope, andree. they left after my rather pointed remarks about thick hides and stupidity. funny about that. wonder why?
how weird
lol rose
lolol granny, you sound as subtle as I am. I say things like "well, I must go to bed so my company can go home". :D
lol with you all.
come again when you don't have so long to stay
roflol!
or just bu**er off
that's a goody, BR. unfortunately, these vivitors seemed to have more bone between their ears than most people!
tempted, andree, very tempted...
am off again, bye all, have a good time
bye sprite
Lori, if my brother thought visitors had outstayed their welcome he used to put the alarm clock on the mantlepiece and put the cat out.
Sprite how did the visit with the baby go?
lol Frances. :) G'd morning
back soon
back again. have just finished making mother mac's soup for her ( yes, i know, there's a fire almost on my doorstep ) * grin * but all seems to be under contol. back to the usual routine......but am very watchful.
Granny sorry to hear that the fire is so close. Be safe.
wb granny. Hmmm soup!
chicken and vegetable, with barley and lentils... anyone want some?
Yes please!
generous helping on the way, lori
Thank You!
enjoy!!!
cupcakes are done!
only took 3 1/2 hours
Gah, all this time to get down to 17 on 2nd sweep. Man.....
back again
wb Andree
all okay rose
news!!! we lost a fire tanker in this fire, but no lives! yes, lori, all quiet here now. but i'm not unpacking those bags!
God call granny. Ne ready to leave on a moments notice.
lol, lori. that's one way to put it. * grin *
saw the loss of the tanker on tv
Of course *Ne = be.....
Gah! Finally finished the d. Stoopid di chemical sounding words. Poopy.
your profile is simply brilliant, Lorikins
lol, thanks Ata Hari. G'd morning!
hi ata
does your profile mean that I should admit that there are occasional instances, very occasional mind you, that Hobbit is somewhat less than a dog of glory?
ATA!! Get thee to bed!!!!
Don't be silly Ata. I am the only fallible one here!
Good Lord, it's Liz! ***waves Hi before fainting***
I did bed. It got boring!
LOL Hows the headache?
hi liz
Hello Lori :))
headache is slowly fading, so I think it'll be ok
hi Andree
I hope so Ata it sounded baad :(
Hi
hi Herin
ROSEEEEEEEEEEEE I have been so worried about you
It must be a special headache. Surely it's not a common type headache.
it was. every now and again I just get awful awful headaches, but I've realised if I can cut them off quickly enough with copious nurofen they usually give in
about to watch the oscars, won't last long though as i already know the results and just want to see hugh
hi herin
hi.
OH Andree wouldn't it be fanfrigentastic if he performed in Chicago as the lawyer?
yay heath got an oscar
I got an Oscar too lol
pfft to Oscars been more worried trying to find out about the fires. Is ROse still about?
yours is a Very Special Oscar
he doesn't keep as still as a stutue unfortunately :)
Liz has the best Oscar.
*statue*
rose is okay for the moment and still at home with the car packed
thank you Lori :)) I'm thinking of setting him up his own facebook group lol
Silverclaw has her own deviantArt account lol
OK good I did just send her an sms. Do it liz
does she Ata? LOL
If I do Herin I'll def send out invites to all of you :)
But that is because Silly is trying to take over the world
Sily already has the world at her feet
My rather large and ginger Tobycat of glory may have to take Sily to task about that!
MAN Andree. They picked CRAIG MCLACHLAN to play Billy Flynn pffft
he'd take one look at her and bow to her beauty ;)
hey all
Hey BFS
Nah Ata, knowing Toby he'd take one long and smack her one. *Blush*
im at the half century mark :\
OMG they're playing Gary Glitter on the radio!
Yah is he singing something about being a rock spider
I can't believe he still gets played!
what station liz?
He should be tossed in the don't play bin
lmao. whereupon Sily would probably throw up on him
local bfsog - Island FM
that'd serve him right Ata :))
Ha! My mistake! Thought it was GG but in fact it was Sweet!
*Doh*
Ata you need to check out twolumps
it seems to be her chief line of defence in all instances LOL
very effective I would think
very!
she knows she's not big enough to actually take on anything bigger than the average mouse
Ata twolumps have discussed this today
I have to close Babble down for a sec - can't load itunes with it open - back in a mo
* sigh * when will i ever remember juliet's partner? have been monkeying around for 10 mins.
I'll look when it gets shoved into my LJ for the day :)
ty rose!
Good Ata its funny. Rose i have been so worried about you. Check out 3aw for reports
the one i can't find is the ro10 after that one rose
ro10??!!
herin, have the link to cfa permanently open.
andree, like where chickens go to bed, but change last letter to a vowel
ro5/10 sorry
ro5/10 - to rhyme with the opposite of tight
CFA Is being a tad slow
thx haz and rose, looking at wrong r, was never going to get that one
hi haz, missed you , haven't seen you in ages
No problem, Andree. Back later.
haaaaaz!
Granny I have to get up at 530am so i am off to bed soon
I observe silently (or with chat log closed) more and more, Andree. Nice to see you, though.
okay, herin. see you soon.
Granny take care ok get a game plan go to knoxx or the shelter over in lillydale if you have to. worried mama face
ok im going
it's ok, kiddo. we're doing fine. all packed, ready to go. plan to hoist mother mac over my shoulder if i have to. * grin *
does stiddy know you're stealing her catch phrase? :P
Ata. I have said that for too long myself
But usually its ''your too skinny you need to eat more''
good morning everyone. What's going on that granny might have to go to a shelter?
aussie fires still
are they very close to Melbourne?
very close t her, certainly
awful
rose lives out of melbourne at the foot of the dandenongs and fires are very close
good luck granny!
morning all. Prayers from our side of the big pond, granny. be safe
You all still here
Decided I ought to wash the shop windows before I came back in again.
sounds suspiciously like housework to me
i hate re words
too early for such drudgery here
No! It was shop windows so customers can see in, not home windows so I can see out! LOL
still sounds suspicious :P
Andree Me too
Would it sound better if I told you I'm now drinking strong coffee 7 eating a choco brownie from the deli next door
yes, that makes it a bit better!
It was yummy!
Just finished the brownie, now for the coffee
mmm, brownies...
It was fab Shawnee
cakie brownie or moist and chewy kind?
cakie but also moist and chewy with choc chips too
lol you didn't think you'd have to give a perfectly precise description of the brownie, did you?
well at least it wasn't a purple-pink-silver-white one LOL Ata
I have a fond appreciation for sweets, esp brownies.
MERMAID!!!! It so should be in this grid
that worked, you knew what I meant! Ish ....
Oh No! I missed a bit on the windows and now its bugging me coz the sun is shining right on it
I'm really only wanting to go into London still this afternoon because I have my heart set on dim sum and I can only get them in London
back, and have read the chat. thank-you to all of you for your concern and care. safe for the time being, but lots of little spot fires going on around us.
I've never had them.
Granny do they still think people are deliberately lighting them?
*dies* sooooo good
We are foodily-challenged over here Ata :)
so are we down in Kent! if it's not fish, we ain't got it!
hence trips to london become orgies of gastronomic everything we can't get!
ah but at least you can get in a car or a train and go out and buy something else!
yes, liz. honestly, i think these arsonists should be made to go in and clean up the mess, including the bodies of those who have died, then have to tell the families concerned. there doesn't seem to be a spark ( pardon the pun ) of humanity in them!
Quite agree Granny - dreadful impersonations of human beings
doesn't guernsey have a vast array of everythingness? All the ads we see - admittedly mostly of Jersey - make the bigger islands look like they have everything possible
and work 7 days a week to earn money to pay recompense to the survivors
unfortunately, it, also appears, that people who throw their cigarette butts out of their car window have been responsible for quite a few of our local fires.
It has more than us thats for sure! What we have depends on when the cargo boat can get here. Guernsey is a bit smaller than Jersey and less touristy but we like it better. Having said that I suppose Jersey is better supplied with stuff but only marginally.
hiya everyone!!!!!
Slumdog has scooped 8 little gold statuettes
hey, MM
Apologies to any smokers here but I think we should all follow the lead of Bhutan. The whole of the nation of that country became smoke free in 2005. Tobacco cannot be sold in any shape or form there now.
when we come over, you must give me a big list of everything you want that you can't get!
hear hear for the underdog.
on the news it said one of the latest fires was started from a spark from a threashing machine, land is so tinder dry
Hi Movie! I'm glad to hear that. I read the Slumdog book and loved it.
Theres a thought Ata (but in reverse). We could arrange stuff for you so you have it ready & waiting for you. Like Hobbit food and stuff
good point! lugging dog food about isn't much fun!
What does she eat?
she pretends to be picky, but whatever really. she'll turn her nose up at all dog food, until I'm looking the other way and then she'll scoff it.
LOL. Oscar has James Wellbeloved but he (as you know) really prefers the furniture
lol yes. well hobbit really prefers whatever I'm eating. But that's tough.
I take it you aren't vegetarian then LOL
trying to think what she's got now. Pedigree Natural Choice? Natural something?
I think she'd leave home!
Theres a guy lives here who owns a pet shop in Guernsey. He can get pretty much anything in so long as I warn him in time
I wish you were coming when Katie will be here. You two have SOOOO much in common LOL
fab! I'll tell you nearly the time, cos she's bound to go off this Pedigree stuff soon. She's eaten it without complaint for too long
when's she visiting?
Easter, then August
oh lovely!
They're pretty much locals really, they're here so often LOL.
Right, I'm really going to go and wipe the smudgy window now! See you all later
lol have fun!
Have fun, hope the headaches gone soon Ata
bye!
i am off too, happy babbling
I should go too. too much computer time I think!
going also, so very tired now. no adrenaline left to keep me awake. hubby can take the first watch!!!! hopefully see you all at the flip. nitey nite
keep safe rose
ta andree, you too, my dear one.
firewords
congratulations bf gg
* poof *
yay bfog now really poof
ACK..I missed rmcc
g'day carlee
hi bf..hows things
hmm okay, bad weekend, i was looking after a family members' dog
ah...fun fun... not not
nope, the whole weekend was pretty poor! but life goes on, how are you?
I am good...my event on saturday was a blast and a great success... and renos have begun again at my house
Morning People!
morning rth
how is everyone? carlee did you do the all nighter with the girl guides?
no..that mar 13th
I had my citizenship ceremony on sat
ooooh big weekend! congratulationds!
it was cool....media went... instead of the typical thinking day banquet my pathfinders opted to do a reaffirmation of oath of citizenship... our MP officiated..we had veterns...we had the royal canadian legion for the site..we had veterns... and we had an RCMP officer
oops...didn't mean to repeat the vetern thing
its ok, i imagine you had a lot of veterans.
we had 2, a woman who was in RCAF - women's division during WW1
oops 2
and a fellow would was a tank something or other...
carleekat .. what is a citizenship ceremony ??? What is it for ???
neat!
when people emmigrate to canada....after they study and have been here for 3 years I believe...they can become citizens of canada
We should have something like that in the UK .. most of our immigrants can't even speak english .. Congratulations
there is an oath you repeat ....promising to be a good upstanding citizen... anyway..any canadian can say this oath..is a lesser ceremony...and we made it more "pomp and circumstance" for the girls..lots of canda flags... lots of red and white balloons..a big canada flag cake...etc
Where i work now, we have a lot of phillipino nurses who are going through the process...
Sounds like great fun
the girls all got pics with our MP and the RCMP officer in red serge :)
we had a few speeches for them
it was fun... very colourful
very nice experience for them Carlee!
there a nice certificate you get for doing it... so..even if does not mean a whole heck of alot to them now...in years to come..they will remember...
now on to my Lady baden powel birthday celebration tonight... pancake day tomorrow... and then the sleepover preps
oh my i know who lady baden powell is, thanks to my old girl scouting days...
her b-day was yesterday...yesterday was world thinking day
my guides invited the sparks ( girls aged 6 ) down for a "b-day party" of cake..pin the tail on the donkey and a coupleother birthday games"
Carlee, that sounds like fun. I must admit, large groups of kids tend to make me nervous. LOL.
its all ab out critical mass....once you reach about 8-10..its all about counting heads
morning, all...
we had a great day yesterday. I came up with a good idea for keeping our kitchen cabinets organized. I used two lazy susans to hold all of our spices and baking ingredients. And we boght new curtains for our patio doors.
nice angel... i just thought tho of the size of lazy susan I would need ofr my spices...they don't make them that big...I have a double wide 3 shelf deep cupboard that is JUST spices...
sounds like ours, Carlee...we actually sorted two of our shelves using the lazy susans.
i used to have a lazy susan...bafore I got into middle eastern and indian cooking
got so full.. the spices would fall off..not enough room
then I got into ethnic cooking... and the quanity that I go through..I go through 2 HUGE bags of curry powder / year....1 bag fills the large cheezwhiz jar
Oooh Matt Lauer on Today show is getting into it with some guy who did a Sarah Palin DVD... Funny.
I just always find it entertaining on the today show when feathers get ruffled, since 99percent of the time the hosts are all smooth and cheerful.
they have to prove to some big wig they stillhave teeth..likely a contract negotiation happening
I think actually the guy he was interviewing started to rather heckle him. It was clear he was surprised
he stumbled a bit...
i can't remember the last time I watched any of the network morning shows..I am a morning joe fan myself
DUnno why but when I am off, I do enjoy today show.
wow..this is a busy chog today...**note sarcasm**

gotta run...my two year old granddaughter is here for the day! :o)
chat always makes me hungry, food, food, food
so far, this is not a pleasant grid -- is that the general consensus?
not pleasant at all.
so far it's really good for phantoms and proper nouns. not so good otherwise
pretty straight forward grid in a tortuous way
annebrook still there?
mase
jack, yes, still here
mase is a secret code
ok
did you find out how to become friends
jsb, jack, you have to be "pro" to become someone's friend....ask Mom about pro, she will explain
ok
jsb, you type very well
thank you
you do also
annie, have you introduced us to your little friend? :)
dont tell my last name
EvaN. Hi, He is Jack, my 10 year old grandson
jsb, I never will
don't worry, jack. we are very safe around here + never share last names. nice to meet you. :)
you too EvaNadine
it's lovely to see some younger babblers on here who are behaved and respectful, and who actually enjoy playing the game. :)
anne do you know EveN.....
Name that proper noun: little girl who lived at the Plaza Hotel
we do not know each other "in real life" but we have played this game together for quite some time, haven't we, annie?

I see, and Jack, your typing and spelling both very good
flosey do tou know anne?
only through Babble Jack
thank you flosey
thank you flosey
sorry I pressed enter 2 times
not a problem jack, we all do that once in a while
anne still there?
it's ok, jack -- most of us make way more mistakes with our typing than you are. in fact, i think you may have the most perfect grammar on the chatlog!
jsb, yes, still here
thank you EvaN
( i know that i, personally, tend to be very lazy with my punctuation + my capitalization)
EvaN, me too...I think I will have to be careful from here on in
anne are you coming up here on the 27th or the 28th?
I think most of us do in here Eva
m
jack, on the 28th, Saturday
morning tc
annie -- are you lucky enough to live near your grandson?
I cant wait anne

how lucky! I'm 3000 miles away from my grandson - when I go to visit, I stay 3 - 4 weeks - dividing time with 2 sons and an old friend
ahh, that's not so far. my parents moved here (Maryland) from England, so my grandparents + all the rest of our extended family lived very, very far away, and I wasn't able to see them very often. I always wished I could see them more. one grandmother did live with us.

hi tragicstud
i've been observing one of the classrooms since 845 this morning (it's 10 here now) and have 6 pages of notes on them so far. full pages. i didn't stop writing the whole time i was in there
be well, flosey
tybr
you have had an intensive observation
hi everyone! anyclues for al 5, 10? -- thanks!
i'm off as well, my young bosses beckon for mommie to play blocks
al 5 -- an assumed name
i'm supposed to stay in the class all day - they're in gym now.
hagd shawnee
thanks babblerabble :)
you too tr. sounds like you need a break
totally
Hi and good morning.
hello
I expect if you sat in front facing the class, you would have less to write about
it's true, but then there would be no way of knowing what they're like without me there
the one that keeps looking at me is still doing things wrong though
these kids don't entirely care that i'm there
the fact is i'm writing more about the adults than the kids - if the class was managed better or was less boring the kids wouldn't be so bad
i hope i'm not about to get the teacher fired
If so tragic, then maybe they need to be fired
maybe if you sat in front and faced the teacher you would have less to write about
lol br
TS, the parents that send their children to that school trust that the teachers are the best for their children. If the teacher needs guidance, please, please give it.
and i know mom, it's true. i kinda wish i could just take over the class for the rest of the year
am 6, 21?
my school is hving a really hard time finding people to work here though...
just because they have a job teaching doesn't mean they know what they are doing
am + world for a small island in the Pacific missing one letter
it's true. and i'm collecting up all of my old materials for the teacher
I am not saying "fire", but career advice is always a good thing, and a vested teacher would want to get better where possible
sadly though, the parents that send their kids to this school tend to not care... at all...
it's totally true trif
oh, MAN. Hate that!
i think she's exhausted...and that's not an acceptable reason for there to be so little work
that is so sad ts- I see parents like that at my kids school, but thankfully, most of us are very involved
i was in there for almost two hours and i was actually in pain i was so bored
z
it's the first word you probably think of when you think of z words
morning everyone
morning
hello, sadie
hi sadie
how many kids are in the class, TS?
god, i think today only 8
12 total
it's an emotional support class
and are they little kids?
no, they're 13-16
well at least it's not 27 like in my daughter's class
wow, that age really can't get bored....a challenge for any teacher!
did she know you were coming in to observe today?
yeah- they're trouble
yes, that's the really frightening part
i mean - i think that probably she thinks that i'm there to watch the kids primarily
and they do have terrible behavior and i understand her frustration
i literally watched one of them jump through a door. like, a wood door. they punched it until there was a hole, and jumped through the door
morning all...caught a bit of TS's dilemna...sorry to hear...but the teacher definitely needs to engage in a conversation of some sort (with her observer, you); especially if its an emotional support class...if the teacher isn't emotionally involved, then it would seem the emotional support of the class is desparatly in danger; I feel sorry for the kids...they need to be engaged!!!!
i agree - i'm totally going to talk to the teacher
morning pinikula
i'd like to talk to the teacher before i talk to administration
are there no repercussions for destroying the door?
i mean, this is the issue, right?
no, there were essentially no repercussions
I'd be talking to the teacher with a follow up report to the administration...if its this out-of-control (which it appears to be - it doesn't sound like it's just today), administration should also be aware of it...but that you are taking proactive steps before it becomes the admin's issue...
behavior management was called and didn't do anything
they took the door out
they are aware pini...one of them is the guy from behavior management that did nothing about the door.
that is unreal, trag.
yeah - it's been a hard day :)
It sounds like your teachers and/or behavior management people need to be given a dose of "I care about these kids and there's more out there than what they're getting at home or from their negative peers!"
yes. i mean, there are a lot of things that this school needs.
maybe they should watch some of the movies dealing with similar - simply put, if the adults cared about the kids, the kids might actually have something to care about...
Around here the teachers don't bother to work with bored and poorly behaved kids who "take others off task", they just ship them to the alternative school. Emptied out half our little local school that way.
ugh, i'm about to have to go back... :(
sorry...off my soapbox...need to get ready for work...
we're the alternative school ;)
I wonder about the administration too .. the teacher needs proper support .. o/w the students simply may do as they please
(then the alternative teachers should give more of a damn about the kids!)
i agree pini
sorry...(they know what they're getting into when they accept a job at an alternative school)
well right, administration is a whole other bag of issue
lol
i agree pini
though they need support from admin - babble is right
i think that's where the biggest problem is. i think the teacher has probably given up cause she's got no materials and 12 pubescent kids with oppositional defiance in her room
sorry to clog up the chat all - but thank you so much for letting me get some of this out!!
I can totally relate, ts, I was always frustrated with how my son was dealt with. He got thrown out, finally, from the alt. school - now has his GED - first try. Too smart for his own good, sigh.
and he wasn't even violent, just mouthy.
he got thrown out for mouthy?
wow
non-stop cockiness!
to me, if a student knows he or she may destroy a door with impunity, they also know they may ignore the teacher with impunity
i mean...i fully agree. it's not an easy day to be purely observing - i'll tell you that
ugh - gym is over...i have to go back.
you will learn some things, ts, from this
good luck, ts
ty
good luck, ts, it's a nationwide problem, I'm sure, and I wish somehow it could be fixed.
Do you think tceicher is okay - maybe signalling for help?
I do not know, Christine ... tc is off line now or I would ask
I ca;;ed 411, for Casa Grande, but there was no listing.
that's called
hello

hello, phaeton
Hello babblerabble

hiya phaeton
Christine..why are you worried about tceicher?
Hi sadie

Christine...she does that all the time
does anyone know who she is or how old tc is
em7,36 anyone? anyone?

I just hate to think of anyone being alone and in trouble -- a couple of years ago, I decided to take a bath instead of a shower, couldn't get out (unable to bend my kneesm duh) and had visions of being found a month later, because I live alone. Funny now, but a scary two hours.
Local firemen are gtiving thanks - a body of my size, shrivelled for a month ...
i am still here (i am at work, so i will often disappear, unannounced)
You are a caring person, Christine. The world needs more of you.
hey all
g'day, bfsog
hey babrab, you are a doctor or surgeon i tink?
No, I am a no where man
I see, what an odd misconception to have
hello everyone
hello, aslindy
how are you today?
another monday monday --- wondering if I will ever trust that day
oh, that good, huh
just another manic Monday
anyone have the me 6/7?
nm, got it
oh, I got all the z words. =)
must be too early for much chatting
175 online .. quiet bunch
ok, I have thought of a word that might be in there, but I don't know how to spell it
it means meeting

think you need another I for that word
hello all
ok
thank you
liaison
that's the word, br
liaise
yes, that too
I didn't know the spelling
I will stop looking now. =)
back...went for a walk
how far did you walk, phaeton?
half a mile
good for you!
it is still rather cold here for being outside
thanks...dr says should walk a mile, but i figure anything is better than nothing :)
I did walk a few days ago, a bit less than that... had to watch out for people driving through puddles. too cold for puddles now.
you are right about that!
did you get a lot of snow over the weekend?
how's the weather there?
We got probably 6" of snow... they thought it would be more
southern texas is nice...going to be 70 today, lots of sun
Hey, everyone... I put more of my drawings on flickr a couple days ago, so you can see them now!
great!
oh wouldn't mind a glass of the me6/21

still can't find that em7
yeah... I have started playing Small Worlds, and wanted to use some of my pictures there.

thank you, Christa
Do you own horses?
not anymore... I gave them away the end of 2004
alindy.. do you prefer to draw animals or people?
animals... I am awful at people
I am really a perfectionist in my drawing, and people never look exactly right. Animals, however - even if they are a little off, it's not as visible
may i have a clue for the 8 letter word.. please

Hiya, TO!

hi TO !
hey judi, i saw a notice ofr an interesting art exhibit in newark at UD
hi aloy!
well, i'm not bothering now as i'm talking to you here....i'll save my pennies sending it!
hi TO
Yes, I saw that too, TO. The photographs, right?
skinflint!!!!!
and now my phone is beeping as battery low
TC are you alright?
i know, you've rubbed off on me :)
good!!
lol
no the contemporary artist who paints in the styles of the old masters. same place?
how many left lilliann?
Oh, haven't heard about that one. Probably the same place if it's on the campus. We don't get to the art exhibits too much.

67
z
you?
When is it? Maybe I can meet you? I'm off the rest of this week (wrist surgery tomorrow). I'll be bored and one-handed.
rolaid, lol..
oh judi, i hope it goes well for you. i don't remember, must look it up again.
ooh, good luck, Judi.. quick recovery too
Thanks. No big deal. Just a little snip snip of a tendon sheath. My biggest worry is... will I be able to Babble one-handed?
hope all goes well judi and a swift recovery
well is it your dominanat hand?
course you will, just slower :)
Nah. S'my lefty. But my thumb will be useless for a bit. That will be problematic. Bra straps and buttons and zippers. Oh my!
z
ok, my turn to be blind...clue for the right E?
judi google this "dragon naturally speaking" then you can babble no hands!:)
carpal?
old people? el4
ty aloy
em4: flightless bird with extra vowel
version 10.0
ty fuquay
good clue fuq, ty
yw
hi kje..
No. Not carpal tunnel. A very long named condition which translates in layman's terms to : an extra sheath around the tendon in my wrist. I strained the tendon and because of the extra sheath, there is not enough room for the tendon to swell, causing persistent and annoying pain.
NBT!
el5: to leave out a vowel, consonant or syllable
hi aloy
and all
hi kje. judi i hope your recovery is quick.
hi kje
hi kje!
I'm afraid to look at that dragon thing, Crossy. Is it a video?
no it is a speech to type program
Thanks, TO. I think recovery will be quick. But, I plan on milking it for a little while. ;-)
Okay, I'll check it out a little later.
oooh crossy imagine the possibility for babble!
Lol. I just got the az5/20. Sounds like Arnold Schwartzenegger cursing at someone.

The digging rodent
I think i remember seeing that on a menu

oh really? I'm behind the times
Take out a letter TO ..
yeah- they're caramel delites now
ty, tor! hi stud
huh. I think this merits further investigation
hi :)
the samoans probably protested
i mean, i think it must be some politically correct issue
oh, I believe you - I just might need to track down a few boxes for some in-depth research
they are delic aren't they?
(i assume you read that with a soft c)
ok folks ty for the help. time to go walkies. have fun.
faves are still the mint ones thoug... no one does them better than the girl scouts
ciao TO - have a great day
have a great walk...
seeya TOwl
it's true - i have 4 boxes sitting right behind me
i am a mint fan myself. which is why i must walk.
heh, yeah, ts - with a very soft 'c'
Yum
that "not-salami" word is also food, it turns out.... stomach rumbling
well, since i am dieting... thing i will leave and come back when there is less talk of food!
I'll stop talking food ...
I need to get back to work, so I'll not be contributing any more food talk ;)

64 here covered with quilt...
degrees that is.
No man is an island. entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less
as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
ahhhh. literary-ness...

hello, jmc
btw hi all am back at the airport on my way home
wtg peri
clues for the 7s and the 8 plz
BR is worth listening to most of the time
mo 5/12 is the only mushroom I hunt for since it looks like nothing else
so most early springs I hunt in the parks in DC for them so . . .your tax dollars at work lol
clues for the 7s and the 8 plz
you... hunt for them on work time, and you work for the gov't? or, that is your job for the gov't? or, the gov't pays to have the mushrooms planted? or pays you to remove them?
the government maintains the forests in the center of DC in which the mushrooms grow wild in the spring
only worked for the government for two unfortunately months in 1976
ah. well, i'm in favor of forests, so i'm ok with that.
i just found my first 7 - di7 - add an az5.
I pick them in one of the first national parks in the U.S.--Rockcreek ark
*Park
*looking for az5*
find it yet?
no not yet :-)
keep wanting to find the blue word
az + spanish cheer
got it!
there is another az five with a diff 4th letter
ty
thought I had tried that one.
my phantoms are all colors
my mart really loves me quite a ridiculous amount
you mean like violet?
silver and azure
who's mart?
cat
ah my cat and I are roommates
me and marty have a pair bond.
Fireworks for me .... here to help for a few minutes, if anyone needs it.
wtg mo
he came to live with us, i picked him up, and boom, pair bond.
looking to grey the r in the top left corner
nice hurshy my cat is name fugitive and still acts like one
mo I have the wandering and the wanderer on the r
are there any ru words?
start with a cockadoodledoo bird but leave out the t and the r
and then past tense it
no ru words.
and then you need ro4/5 which is very vowelly and it's like a ladies' man - i think with negative connotations.
ty mo and hurshy
ty hurshy I read enough trashy novels for that clue to work for me lol!
:)
ro6/21 ... someone who wanders.
it is a womanizer more than a ladies man
ty mo my r is now grey!
well, to me the phrase "ladies' man" kind of implies womanizer.
Heyas ..
and that greys the whole left column
hey torg were your ears burning?
it's just that the people who are fooled by them call them "ladies' men" and the people who are not call them "womanizers"
good jmc!
A bit ..
I guess I see a ladies man a charming man who has lots of ladies and a womanizer as a guy who uses lots of women
lol torg
tor! how many times do i have to tell you not to put your lighter right by your ear?!
Although I'm neither ..
lol
hello everyone
hi aslindy
jmc - if you think the first is not the second, you overestimate male psychology

some men are romantics, too. it's just that the men who can attract a lot of women tend to end up only thinking about one thing, even if they didn't start out that way. it's the ugly guys who have time to develop a sense of romance.
maybe but my husband was cute and romantic I am happy to say
hehehe
enjoying the conversation BR? ;-)
ah well, it's only psychobabble that i'm making up as i go along :)
I am doing ok... getting a headache though. =(
I must be really romantic then ..
no harm in conversational psychobabble
sorry about the headache aslindy
10.30pm here so must be away ... goodnight everyone... see you soon.
then again, it is supported - from the other end of the gender spectrum - by the song... "if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife... from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you"
oh torg. . .
be well, mo
bye mo
yeah, me too... the sun is very bright reflecting off the snow...
I am in Austin where it is a nippy 69 F
here in mid-Michigan it is 24 F
BR your icon and quote reflect a bit of spring fever!
yeah that is why I prefer to travel south in February!
the icon was inspired by the sign of the cross in latin; my quotes reflect my experiences in life
Fireworks! Tnx to all for great clues today...had to look sporadically but managed to find pertinent ones at just the right time!
wtg jimmel
congrats, jimmel
Yay jimmel
BR, your experiences must be varied and challenging...always interesting quotes!
how many letters for the Z word?
4
1
ty welki
unless you are saying you only have 4 to go lol!
go dottie
no way, jm .. just about halfway
Good luck to the rest of the Babblers who are still working! Have a wonderful evening...going to reflect, relax, and hopefully, NOT regurgitate!
be well, jimmel
I have 106
bye jimmel
Bye, all!
LOL JMC
sorry bout the caps
i'm at work
sorry but was your 1 meaning that there is one word with a Z and therefore my "go dottie" was premature?
Hi Everyone., jmc, babble rabble, Dottie, and jimmel.
hi red
no problem...what i wanted to say was 1 to go but i was interupted
Hey JMC, I am thinking of running race in Alexandria in May. Maybe we can have a babble get together afterwards?
hi red
well then go dottie go!
Gooooo Dottie.
hi all! I've missed all the good clues all day long. sadness
That would be great red! Just not Sunday afternoon. That is when I spend time with my mother if I am in town.
What race?
hi ata I bet there are good clues left for you
Its a half marathon a small one along the Patomac.
I hope so!
woohoo...back to work...tty all later
I think its may 3rd which very well may be a Sunday, or a saturday.
The potomac can be so lovely in May but the 3rd is a Sunday
Maybe I should look.
bye dottie wtg
Ata I would happily clue everyone of my 58 words . . . but they just called my flight so I am only here for a few more minutes
Bummer jmc, its on a Sunday Morning.
awwww ty. but maybe someone could give a clue for the 8?
how about the boy chicken - t and -r
Bye jmc.
I'm going to be shamelessly asking for clues for once!
give me a second ata and I shall.
alas I am no help there and must shut this puppy down bbl in Chicago (go for it ata!)
Ata think of a rather painful rectal condition that preperation H helps but take out the H's, and that gives you a 7 letter, then plural it.
oh dear! ouch!
did the clue help?
but ty :)
hehehe ... a cockney condition :)
yes, very much so ty :)
I am glad it helped.
I passed the London Hospital for Laying In today, red. Old Victorian maternity building :)
What a classic name, Hospital for laying In!
it still says "london Hospital for Laying In" in tile in the front
Neat.
I took a pic, I'll put it up tomorrow
cool.
WOnders what theme is for tomorro.
so many of our hospitals have these wonderful old fronts. There's one near here that I really want to photograph which is the Hospital for Sea Bathing Cures
I would love to see that one. Ours tend to be rather antiseptic.
And newish. When I was in Paris I was sent to a variety of odd little medical buildings, some were so quaintish...and old....
Tomorros theme is Your dream car.
I'll go past it this week at some point and actually stop and take pics rather than just thinking "oh I really sthould stop and take pics"
meh, I has no dream car
I got one of Ye olde South Fried Chicken this week when I was Lost in orlando.
I have no dream car either, but i would not mind owning a BMW or a Mercedes....
loooool fab
I need to download it.
Has Dan 2 gotten any takers on Puppies?
Atat do you need more clues?
not yet ...
what kind of puppiesZ?
kind of aussie shepherd ish
oh, thanks
that aren't sure what the father was :P
too big for me. I like the little lap dogs. Too bad my hubby won't let me get one.
red, is there a place where the "theme of the day" is posted?
go to rankings above and click on sprite

Hey, Red...How is the house sale going?
I'm wishing for that right now. I don't like the cold
House sale does not seem to be happening, but the economy is so bad for travelers that I am taking the permanent position anyway and am grateful for it.
So you are staying in FL?
Yes. THe rent for my apartment here has been reduced by 300 a month, so its a lot more doable.
Well, the house in NC will sell...eventually.
hi all -- back for the last 50
It is getting a lot of showings, but it seems people are hesitant to buy.
we have an opportunity to buy new, now offering to finish basement as part of deal.
Have to be able to get the loan. That seems to be a big problem.
SA5/12 was my last word. Off to fix dinner...*poof*
Well for first time buyers there is still a lot of loans if they have 3 % down..
and my home is really a first time buyer house.
SOme day it will sell.
unfortunately we would not be 1st time buyers. jsut haven
haven't owned for a long time
SA 5/12 please..?
the puppies on the puppy cam are quite active right now.

there were quite a few last night
I've just come in now to change my icon for tomorrow
it was interesting to actually be able to put a face to the names we know and chat with
tomorrow's icon is your dream car - this was my dream car of the 1950s
guess I'd better go and dig one out then!
happy digging, perhaps see you late tonight or tomorrow
my left arm is pretty much asleep = dog's head is on it, and he is totally OUT asleep. Just like my arm!
photo icon posted -- anyone want clues before I leave?
on my way then -- bye :)

Tonight on nelleon's cryptopoetry corner ..
Sorry, lol, i nearly fell off yhe treadmill today!
thanks, kj
If you had had a video camera, you could have been a youtube star ..
Are you ok?
Man I fell off a treadmill once, it was pretty bad, the belt gave me a bad bad abrasion ...in the end it was ok, but very scary.
I don't go near such things ..
I have enough trouble just walking around ..
I'm fine! But, I have learned that laughing on a treadmill can be hazardous!

I actually dont ever run on a treadmill any more. Now that I live in the relative tropics. Hi Pam!!!

I like to run beside the treadmill and see if it can keep up
I hate running. It hurts my brain1 fast walking, only!

hi, red!!! sorry, got Lost in the grid....
Just saying Hi, how are you?
pretty well, you?
I'm good. Sort of getting things together now that I am staying. lots of thinking about money which is not that fun.
Did you take the position? I am so confused, LOL!
I took it. WIth the economy there are not veyr many travel positions open, sooo, more permanent is the better way to go.
My home is not sold thoough.
clue on the first ai?
Congratulations! Are you going to rent the home out? Or, are you going to keep it on the market?
I'm keeping it on the Market, I dont want to be a renter.
I mean a landlord, the tenants usually mess up the house.
ai ** de camp
I wouldn't want to be a landlord, either.
Hopefully it will eventually sell...

Hi MKG
em7 and 8 first 4 letters of green jewel + robot ending
I finished the grid at about 11.30pm UL time, then went on to watch too much TV (because our SKY HD box is one of the ones with faults that SKY are hell bent on replacing real soon, and so Ihad to try to clear what I'd saved).

Dunlop Remo4/6 (with a 'u' after the 2nd vowel) was a frequent ad in the 70s here in UK.

plural of the em7
re + mo4/6 and plural
Tyres (as we call them in UK) that have had new treads and so are ready to go on the road again, mkg.

Frustrationsville is the town we are in here.
sry -- typed in the wrong place
btw -- got the oa one -- argh

First om is like the US president but with a diffrent 2nd consonant.
Om + bottom of or low guitar) without second consonant, + vowel.
It's the third stomach of a cow, if you really want to know. (Oh God! I knew my farming classes would come in handy one day!)
Other way of describing it is not PC but, think of the negro slave sighing and saying something to his master.

2nd to last ro4/4? whale?
hi all...here to try and finish
clue for mo5/12?
My ex bro in law is a jaded policema who'd off to Canada soon, One of the things that pissed him off most was NOT the huge influx of Eastern European refugees into UK (which, incidentally, still isn't as huge as the influx in the early 1900s was) but the way their so-called fellow countrymen who got here before them prey on them and use and abuse them.
mo5/12 = Inn?
mo5/12 = engine?
Pini, last ro4 all vowels, French for lecher
2nd to last, muse?
