thx andree ;)
what a long time to be off your heel
walking a bit with crutches....am doing physio now cause the muscles of my foot, ankle and calf are atrophied
I can't believe it has been that long already- and by the way , how is your sister?
very delicate bone, the calcanus...needs long time to be off it
5 more for NBT...may have to wait until tmw...happy hunting all ~ cya tmw! :)
ya4 8 hugs

Way to go, Hugabugs! :)
wtg hugs...
ooh big wind just arrived here
k digging in again...
anyone found a 7 yet?
think I'm the only person who ever broke their heel, had to be off it for 3 months and lost 10lbs while doing nothing (esp at my age)
not I
no and sh
no7 has been called but i haven't found it
not even a 6 ruru
** breaks two heels ***
Ouch, Just - how did you do that? :(
no 7 sh 7
lol, Just, every cloud has a silver lining then
I broke my right foot a few years ago, in a clumsy accident.
I've found the sh7, still looking for the no7
"breaks two heels, two elbows, two wrists "
I was on the 2nd day of my winter vacation in Mexico, when one of the pool guys flung me into the pool unexpectedly
Ouch, no - you don't want to be doing that, Sandy! :(
damn, it didn't take shiomas
landed on my foot with a thud only 4ft of water
who sandy????
Oh no, Just . . . god, that must've been excruciating! :(
just joking just, thinking of losing weight
it has been in more ways than just the heel jc but thankfully 3 months are down
oh lol
Do you work Just?
Yes, I'm sure - from reading what you posted about it earlier, Just. :( I'm sorry for what you're going through!
I remember the first day after..saying to my hubby...omg it's only day 1!!
thx jc and no sandy, not employed for a salary
I can't imagine the pain, Just - you actually broke the heel bone? That's a very thick bone! :(
yes on the right side of my right foot plus another bone on the side just below littlest piggy
Ouch!!! :(
can anyone guide me to the bottom o in the 4th column?
so now I'm just starting the process of learning how to walk again with physio
do the people at the holiday place take any responsibility?
ouch! poor mar!
oo4 dee
Have the bones healed well, Just?
yes volley, it is between the n and the i
thx mab
lol I dont have that
oo4/5
oo4/5 Dee
lol sandy ty dee & mar!
Volley, so sorry to hear about your pastor and I hope the family is doing ok
well I can only put about 50lbs of pressure on it eitherwise it's very painful still
no more horse play around the pool! although i've never seen horses play very violently or dangerously. odd term.
ty sandy!! viewing is tomorrow; funeral wed p.m. and graveside service thursday; wife holding up... fri will probably worst day cuz everyone will be gone
Oh, horses can play quite roughly, sometimes . . . not that it bothers them, but you wouldn't want to be in the way of it! :P
the resort paid all my medical expenses in Mexico and gave me a small token of their regret
NBT
hmm Just, well that is something I guess
Good, Just . . .
nothing will make up for months of pain just, they should have given a large token
wd rbud
I agree,
Andree . . .
(Sorry - pressed 'Enter' too soon accidentally!)
sigh, they could've gotten away with giving me nothing andree cause in Mexico everyone is corrupt; judges, police, army, gov't
this is a horrible story talking of horse play-our neighbour took one of his horses to the beach and it drowned
that's dreadful, mar, sorry you had to go through that.
was it their fault you fell mar?
oh no!
Oh no, Sandy!!! :(
yes dee
How did that happen?
that is awful then
it was an employee of theirs that cause the accident
that is strange sandy, I just saw a national geographic on horses, said they were strong swimmers...
I don't know, but I believe horses can drown quite easily if they lose their vertical position- I never take any horse into deep water
I broke my foot a year and a half ago and it is just now starting to feel normal
where on your foot dee?
the horse might not have been swimming before
5th metatarsal
when you think of the foot - all those tiny bones.
but I have rheumatoid, and I think that slowed the healing process
not sure where that is...on the sole side or the instep?
I never take Scrimmy to the beach- he panics as soon as he sees the water
Yes, I broke mine a few years ago, Dee - and I still have some pain in it sometimes, if I overdo it.
plus Indiana is horribly damp, and those damp days were awful outside bone of foot, so it moves every time you step
It was about three years ago now - yes, that would be right.
Scrimmy is a handsome horse, sandy
Is that one of the little bones on the top of the foot?
I won't have that worry sandy, as I'll never be taking a horse (mine esp) to a beach !
hello all
Yes, Mab - he sure is.
on the side (from the smallest toe down the side)
hi jilli!
well I certainly commiserate with you Dee
Jilli darling - how are you??? :)
hi jilli
hugs jili
hi jilli
hi jilli
You have a horse Just?
hi jilli
fireworks
oh my Dee that's where my 2nd fracture is
also tore some tendons and ligaments and supposedly those take longer to heal than bones... all that said... it hurt like a fritter, so I, too, commiserate with you mar
is he a thoroughbred, or what breed?
feeling pleasant -- been to a piano concert -- Pascal Rogé and Ami
lol sandy, just the opposite if you reread my post
Hi jilli
did they cast you or put you in a boot mar?
ah, jilli, heavenly!
gotta go - at work
wtg anike
bye, anike, and congrats!!!
he is part arab and part quarter horse with a bit of cold pony in there as well
I fractured one of the bones on top of my left foot back in '83 and it still gives me a pain depending on the weather
totally understand that hug
yeah Dee its the ligaments tendons and muscles that are the killer..my whole foot is affected and swollen including toes
Check your e-mail, Sandy - and you'll see me with my broken foot! :P
Ravel, Debussy, Dukas
oh my goodness, i think maybe we all should were work boots with steel toes, even to the beach!
Just sent you a comical photo of me with it in a splint, looking miserable!
the immobilizing "boot" they put on my foot up to my knee really helped with my pain
the immobilizing "boot" they put on my foot up to my knee really helped with my pain
love ravel and debussy; less familiar with dukas
sorry didn't mean to empty that twice
I didn't have anything that heavy on mine, Dee - they splinted it, which did support it well enough - I just chipped a bone in it, it wasn't a serious break.
nice pajamas JC
they didn't give me that...had a hard cast for first 3 weeks then a kind of a (very expensive :( leather and felt splint
it bore repeating volley :)
lovely horse, sandy. A horse taught me how to spell ;-)
lol
I must hear this -
well, best wishes to you mar!
I hope he doesn't help with Babble Jilli
I was 5.
How did a horse teach you how to spell, Jilli? Hmmm, well I dare say horses can probably spell better than some people I've seen typing online . . . ;)
yes, tell!
thx Dee i know I'm still a long ways of to some sort of normalacy
phantom - onion ;)

Well, I had been to a circus at one point, and I was recovering from mastoid surgery, and my dad suggested I make some posters for an imaginary circus. I had heard somewhere that horses couldn't swim, so I did a poster advertising a "SWIMING HORSE!" Dad pointed out that to make a vowel short, you had to double the following consonant, and it should be "swimming". Later I got promoted from Lower Kindergarten to Upper Kindergarten because I recognised the word "summer" (double consonant). Thank you, Swiming Horse.
we'll be miserable together
yes westie, the middle columm o
Flosey -- lovely concert. How was bridge?
my favorite i4 word is in here

{poof}
West, I had 5 surgeries. No antibiotics in those days. It all started with scarlet fever.

yw hug fireworks
slaap lekker melon

Your favourite i4 word, Mab? Hmmm . . . not knowing you, I can't imagine what that could be.
congrats Dee
flosey, there were several bridge people at the concert

It's my favourite also
Oh dear, Jilli - sounds like an awful ordeal for you? :(

My favourite word starts with 'o' and isn't in this grid! ;)
there are 1 or 2 normal words
every word i get is my favourite word!
*Slaps self before Sandy or Jilli do it for him!* :P
HAHAHA, yes Mar . . .
o word....
the mind boggles JC, I am thinking of all sorts of things
ty just

anyone need any help before I "poof"
No, his initials are MN.
need 54 clues volley
still have 11 left... but thanks for the offer
thx dee will tuff it out
please oh please the middle o
yw hug... ok sandy lol where do we start hahah yw just
abbreviation for state of Minnesota - MN
But a result of that 'o' word is in this grid! ;)
11!! you are good hugs!
Both in singular and plural form . . .
I had lots of TLC and don't remember a lot of pain from the surgeries, but I do from the earache that led to it. I had a burst eardrum which was cauterised for 2 years, once a week, and rebuilt. Hearing was fine. Then at 13 I got caought in a breaker (roller) at Jones Beach in NY and it burst again so I don't hear well in that ear.
those are from the far left o j c
Oh my god, Jilli - that sounds horrible! :(
JC Please dont talk about it, I am getting the giggles
og 4,7 sounds like japanese paper art w/o a consonant
ty dee
never turn your back to the sea
Erm, no Andree - I'm talking about something else entirely! ;) Two 'm' words in the grid . . .
owwwww jili yw west
HAHAHA, good Sandy - I think you could use some giggles, don't you? :)
wise words, mab!
spanish name for friend is here
lol
yay, all vowels grey
funny jewish name sh 4,6
sorry j c thought you meant the 2 oh words
Yes, Dee - and add two more consonants to it, and it would be my favourite 'o' word! ;)
the cautery was done painlessly, using trichloracetic acid, which I was proud to be able to pronounce at age 5, lol!
Oh, no Andree . . .
well off til the flip; hugs to you all ditto that JC
now I guess I'd better shut up and look for some words -- I have zero, nil, nada...
HAHAHA, hugs back, Dee! :)
bye Dee tc
Can't imagine a burst eardrum, Jilli - that must hurt? :(
gn dee be there for pastor's wife and family
I'm amazed you could still hear with that ear?
hjarts at the time, JC -- not now, but must be careful about ggetting water in it so have to wear bathing cap when swimming
that i word at the top is eluding me hugely
*hurts (not hjarts, gaaaa)
the i word sandy?
burst eardrums are fairly common, i think. they are highly treatable and do heal well.
all the words are eluding me!
mab, this was a "kidney perforation"
i have just seen a few and am down to 44
the i word from the top i Just
just did you get that top row lonesome i?
sounds hopelessly complicated jilli; ears, kidneys!
so April 1 is our 30th wedding anniversay and my hubby prepared a wonderful meal today for Wed!
no it is still elusive
you know I mean kidney-shaped, lol
no I don't have it either
that's so nice just
Happy Anniversary-to-be, Just!!!
nice just and congrats
how is your cleaning woman working out?
Just, my husband couldn't boil an egg, yours sound great!
im5/16
he's off Mondays so he did it today...a lovely beef bourgigon
tyvm andree
oh good jilli. had a strange image of you in mind for a moment ; )
nbt
well I helped him by telling him what to do, although he is a great bbq and short order chef
wtg west!
if someone is male and has a pig farm could he be called a hogman?
never got the cleaning lady westie :(
that's too bad just but I have a feeling she wouldn't have done it the way you'd like
I think so West but babble doesn't
brb
hard to believe 30 years gone bye...
our 18 year old cat is running helter skelter through the house I think she has an imaginary mouse
oh westie my son is going down to Raleigh Durham NC for a job offer...
it flies by doesn't it just
wow that's a far cry from BC
Do you know anything about that area?
It certainly does . . . tempus fugit.
he'd rather go to BC
Cats hallucinate, westford - I'm sure of it!
fireworks
I hear it's very nice my husband works with someone whose son went to Duke and just staryed there
well done hugs
congrats huga
yay hugs!!
thanks sandy and just
I'll ask him to find out more
yay hugs
My cat will suddenly stare fixated, in a certain direction and when you look were she's looking, there's nothing out of the ordinary there!
ty west and Andree
so whaddya think scares him the most? Yankie penchant for owning guns...
JC this is a very old cat who usually sleeps 23 hours a day lol
oh that would be great westie..
thank you
My dog does that
they say cats are very spiritual, maybe she see a ghost
how does his wife feel about it?
Yes, my dog will sometimes appear to do that, but I'm sure that's when she's listening, hearing something that we can't . . .
our gun-owining fixation scares me too.
my sister's 18 year old cat does that ...exactly 23 hrs of sleep but the firecracker up his ass doesn't happen everyday! lol
not in my house she'd better not lol
sometimes I wonder if the dog sees my Dad's ghost the way she reacts. Sometimes, she'll actually go and hide
Perhaps, Sandy - I often wonder if they can see orbs, which usually only show up visually to us, in photos?!
Oh really, Hugabugs?
well she does want to leave Montreal.....
That's interesting . . .
she's sitting on the arm of my chair now I guess that's enough movement for this year
one never knows........
they're going this Sat til Wed ...he'll have to miss one of the seders
oh I thought she had family on the west coast just
the ghost is probably on your lap West
my old cat, i do beleive is haunted by our late sweet malka the cat. and she was horrible to malka.
she does but this job's salary is too good to pass up
nuh uh my laptop is there
My father passed away in this house. And my ex swore he saw him once at the end of the bed one night. And when my Mom lived here, her ex swore he saw my Dad a few times
wow
Wow . . .
it can happen
I have heard many similar stories hugs
how fascinating, hugabugs.
kinda creepy lol
I've had articles moved or fall from a shelf when no one is around or in the middle of the night.
Hello everyone. Interesting Hugs, wonder why he just appears to men, maybe he's having a word about treating the women right
veerrrryyy creepy !
I lost an ex of mine when I was only 34, and I will sometimes catch a whiff of the cologne he used to wear, wafting by me. I've never had him actually appear to me visually, though.
Actually, I find it comforting to think that my Dad is watching over me
hi lynxxx
very inconsiderate!
hi lyn
Well, he isn't an 'ex' technically - we didn't break up.
Smells are common apparitions JC
he's never appeared to me visually either.
We were together until he unfortunately passed away.
Yes Sandy, so I've heard.
sad....
sorry JC hope you can remember the good times
how sad, jc. so sorry.
Thank you Sandy, westford and mab.
It's funny you say that lyn, cause just before we got married, the book Rich Man Poor Man kept falling from the bookshelf. Yet, it was in the middle of the shelf.
very sad and prob way to young too
Of course, Just.
hmmm..
your father telling you something?
accident or illness?
I think he was warning me not to marry the man. As it turns out, he was right (as usual)
I can see why you feel comforted though Hugs
Very interesting, Hugabugs . . .
went to a clairvoyant a couple of months ago and she said dad is watching over me, i thought she was making it up until she started telling me all kinds of stuff that could only come from dad
was he rich or poor?
He could have been fairly well off if he didn't drink every penny he owned
Yes, it's fascinating when that happens, Andree . . .
oy. the drink...
It's so interesting to see clairvoyants, or have your cards or tea leaves read
she said i see him wearing a kilt, it was uncanny
It certainly is, Hugs . . .
when I lived in DC, i was struck by the number of clairvoyants, palm readers, etc. so appropriate for that city.
I had my card read way back when I was almost 18, and boy... she nailed so many things on the head
I belong to a paranormal group on Yahoo, which is primarily about orbs, but every aspect of the paranormal is discussed, and the members share photos they take in which anomalies show up . . .
it sure is -too long to tell here - but my sister went to a clairvoyant who told her things she knew nothing about- she told my mum and mum started crying and knew about what sis had been told
Oh wow, Sandy!!!
eerie
this one told me a couple of things made me burst into tears
can you tell a little more sandy?
ah, there
yes , I am sure there are a lot of fakes out there- but every now and then.....
there's the buffalo
Welcome back, Jilli! ;)
Yes, Sandy - I think most are probably fakes, but there are some good ones.
and have any of you changed the way you have lived your lives because what the clairvoyant have said?
;-) JC
I've always been interested in the paranormal
yes, jilli - i always think that's the hairy nosed porpoise.
Would you like an invitatoin to the group then, Hugs?
not at all. She just predicted so many things that came to pass
Erm - 'invitation', that is. :P
that's the inia, mab
No wonder I'm having trouble with this grid - my typing's out the window this early in the morning!
sure JC... not that I have any photos or anything like that to share
this one really did not say much that you could not make up about the future but about the past she was spot on even gave me the name of my love when i was 15!!!
similiar letter pattern. thanks, jilli
That's fine, Hugs - not everyone there does!
mab she kept saying that someone called flo was watching my daughter play the piano, sis didnt know any one called flo- it turned out to be my father's mother whom we had never met and didnt know her name- she also said mum's mother was there too and watched Nicky play the piano (among other things)
spooky eh? but somehow comforting
really nice Sandy
if nicky has to have a fusion, she might not be able to play the piano- that is very upsetting for her
OK, Hugs - check your e-mail for a group invite and you too, Sandy! ;) Oh sorry - would you like one as well, Jilli?
Oh dear, Sandy - I sure hope that's not the case? :(
that's quite lovely sandy.
any good news from the surgeon Sandy?
no thanks, JC -- not into that
well we will see on Tuesday about the op
OK, Jilli - just thought I'd ask, didn't want you to feel left out! ;)
fingers crossed, sandy
thanks, JC, you old sweetie
Old? :P Why thank you, I think? ;)
surgeon has asked us to go on Tuesday-he has been talking to his mates and he said he would ask some more mates in america where he used to work- but it is regarding surgery!
*Feels ancient, suddenly.*
i wish the best too sandy (although sorry don't know the details but can surmise)
hope whatever they come up with they can help nik
stuff and nonsense, JC, lol!
Hmmm, Jilli?
jilli is the iw the buffalo?
Have to go and making a rule- not coming back til at least 6pm -
bbl
Well I'm getting there you know, Jilli . . .
you're a mere lad, jc
says the kid about half my age
bye Sandy
bye sandy we'll miss you
bye sandy
bye sandy
bye sandy (what time is it now your way?)
we are all getting 'there' wherever that may be. unavoidable condition of life, aging
Awww - take care, Sandy!
buffalo is an4, I think, Andree, and theres a pl, too.
and it's damned annoying
Too true, mab . . .
well, I'm off as well. Got the email JC, thanks. G'night/day everyone
Yes, and that too . . .
it sure is mab
Good, Hugs! :)
night huga
A good night to you . . .
night hugs
night hugs
take care hugs
nite, Hugs!
think the baby boomer generation expected to never get old
bye Hugs
thx rbud, thought so but found that iw babblet and wondered if it was that
bye hugs
Hmmm . . . how can anyone expect to never get old?
Happens to everyone - even the best of us! :P
the definition of middle-aged seems to keep being extended. I'm 53 and told i'm mid-age.
and frankly, i feel young
just a quirk of that generation jc lol
I'm turning 50 this May . . .
old is 15 years older than you are
goodness you don't look it
And am often told I look about 10 years younger. I'll take that . . .
lol jilli
he's terribly healthy
i like that jilli
That sounds good Jilli
No, I know - it was damned annoying when I was in my twenties, and taken for a teenager (and not taken very seriously all the time), but I don't mind it now! ;)
my mother will be 93 in May she refuses to use her cane because 'it makes me look like an old lady"
lol west
attagirl, west's mum!
ha! that's lovely, west
Who's terribly healthy, mab?
heheh feisty woman!
she's a pistol
i was still being asked for id in pubs when i had my own kids
I read your profile, jc. vegan, exercise, etc.
Erm, yes mab - but I also smoke! :P
Now if I could just give that up . . .
ooo me too....
I used to drink socially quite a lot as well, but found it wasn't doing me any favours, so I've given most of that up now, and just have a drink or two once in a while.
ditto and ditto
I started in my mid- 40s - crazy.
I know I look much better in glasses ... miss a lot without them
that is crazy mab.....very crazy
almost never drink.
Really, mab? Wow - that's odd! I started in my teens, as most do.
I smoked for about 40 years, quit in 1989, don't miss it at all. Hardly anyone I know smokes any more and we all did when young
*spouts random unconnected grid-related musing* I think if you are "pigheaded" you probably rely to much on your "hogma" *relurk*
BabRab! very good to see you
if i could go back in time that's the one thing that I would never have started
hi bable
i was in zimbabwe and everyone around me was smoking. i caved in to peer pressure.
I like my glasses, BR - they make me look quite intellectual, so I can fool people that I'm smarter than I am! ;)
me too just
Stidmama!!! :)
hi lurky stid
hi stiddie!
who was that masked stid? :p
hi stid, you lurker, you
I definitely concur, Just . . .
I don't care much what others think and spend little time trying to impress them
I would love to be able to go back in time and NOT start smoking!
Well I don't either, BR - I was joking.
exactly cause nothing works for me and I can't stop
*grin* hey all, not really here. just getting a few words. Need to get to sleep soon. *stage whisper* Tom's bday is tomorrow. He'll be .... (drumroll) OLD! *grin*
sure
I tend to do that . . . occupational hazard. :P
hi stid
i quit last year, but nerve wracking events helped me to fall off the wagon.
Hmmm . . .
As old as me, stid? :P
hi Stid-not-here
oh no, JC! no one's THAT old... (not even dear jill) just "older-than-me" old...
the big 5 0 stid?
happy bday to Tom :D
Im not here either!!
hello cait-who's-also-not-here
*sticks nose in air and ignores stid*
not yet mab. a few more years yet! LOL
hi cait too
un-hello Caitlyn
i think i may be hallucinating. i could have sworn i just saw stidmama and caitlyn!
Hi all
hi to all who aren't really here! lol
*hugs jill REALLY HARD so she can't ignore*
it's their ghosts actually
LOL mab
Bore da, Caitlyn! ;)
hi cait
zigs
Hmmm . . . don't I get one, stid? :/
Bore da JC
I need the O in the center for NBT. help please? unless it's fishy in which case I will wait until I wake up in the mornign.
Yawn.........flippity flop!
oof
or the morning.
Into the PB with you this instant Karenth! :P
eh sorry about that hi everyone :D
hello karenth-going-to-PB!
hi karen
I'm here but I'm gonna not be here
i can even hear their voices, i think...
Hi karenth
It's similar to a state of yours over there, stid.
o and old word for sexy leg
yes jill??? you're invited for cake tomorrow you know... Mother's at 6.
Only ending in a different vowel - if that's the correct one?
hm. thanks west and JC
I think it is . . .
that was it, west!
Just, you are not really here either
JC that one comes from the upper O, but thanks anyway!
thanks West
sorry, stid -- library AGM
Oh sorry - I had the wrong one. :( I tried . . .
You're right, yes - still learning how this works!
back later , 14 left
that O word is obscure, to say the least!
Are any of us really here, Caitlyn - or are we dreaming this, I wonder? :P
I did dream I was Babbling the other night - scary! :P
bummer. well, maybe next year. Jill, Lucky is already on antibiotics for the infections that were subsequent to the allergy attack (chicken is his newest one)... but anything you can think of to help care for the tiny divot he took out of one of his footpads? less than 1/4 inch wide and only a couple millimeters deep. But it obviously hurts...
later andree
but I'll teleport over right after the meeting
That is a sign that you are now an addict JC
sounds good, jill! see you then! *wink*
Ouch, stid - the poor dog! :(
iI think we are in babble space
How about one of the bootees I've seen advertised even for big dogs?
I would flush it out with a weak saline solution, to keep it clean - would be awkward to bandage as he probably wouldn't keep one on? Booties, yes - might be an idea?
all is babble, anything else is illusion... *floats gently in air singing OHM* (like in physics, not a mis-type -- this time)
LOL stid
Everything else, stid??? Flippin' heck . . .
what have you been smoking, stid?
hm. maybe I could try bandaging it for a while. Thanks. It's pretty clean at the moment... he's washed it constantly for hours.
a bootie would be helpful i should think, keeping it warm and clean.
but only bootie for a while -- need air circulation
stid I want what youve got lol
he'll get a bandage off
yes, my young(ish) padawan, JC of the red-eye knights... *grin*
rofl karenth
Maybe I'll go back to my pit.
he would get a bandage off, but not immediately.
(((frances)))
Frances?
hi frances!
Morning Frances
Was beginning to think it was something I'd said!
true, stid -- you don't want him licking it too much -- can ulcerate
hello frances you're so quiet
if he's licking it that's probably good. many creatures' saliva have antibiotic qualities.
i forgot, jilli is the expert
well, it's close to midnight. Must away and bandage that toe/paw/limb/side/dog.... *gets out gauze, bubble wrap, clean/old socks and duct tape*
oh no, mab
oh yes, your great danes!
thanks for the advice, all! (and if he weren't already on antibiotics I would definitely be asking for some)
good selection, stid
Hello west. No, I waited a while after my entrance and was about to give up on a response!
but not a vet, mab!
Have a good sleep stid, and Happy Birthday to Tom
((hugs all))) see you next time! *poof*
didn't see you come in frances
well, in lieu of a vet, you are our dog expert.
bbyeeee stid
but happy you're here
Did a late flippity flop west.
Sorry Frances, Im not awake yet!! LOL
we have a real vet in Babble somewhere
I was a little late had to look for 'kangaroo balls'
someday when stid has time I'll tell her about the dream I had
actually, frances, caitlyn isn't even really here, or so she announced upon entering.
cait did you give us up for Lent?
look for what west !!!!!!!!
mab, is your icon a Gorey?
that's what Sprite put in her profile today's icon theme
LOL west, no I have been a bit of a lurker lately
HAHAHA - Babble would be hard to give up for Lent! :P
karen, it's the icon theme for today
someone did maybe it was katie
Katie gave up for Lent.
had to look at a lot of hairy ones in google before I found these bouncy things
just avoid looking up "roo balls" - apparently there's a whole industry. NOT the same thing at all.
If I had a photo handy of me on a skippy ball, I would post one! :P
so it was Katie
ooh how dumb am i :)
Actually the theme is Kangaroo balls/Skippy balls
I had no idea that's what they were called
yes, i just had to look them up too!
the grands had so much fun with them
Not to be confused with kagaroo testicles . . .
jc, have you "ridden" one?
I'll get slapped in here, one of these times! :P
Trust you J.C. Lol.
jili!
Erm, hate to admit it Jilli . . . but, yes. :P I'm quite silly, you know . . .
I know them as space hoppers !
Yes, Karenth - that's the usual name! ;)
now now, that was asked in all innocence
speaking of Sprite did the young prince arrive?
But Jilli called them skippy balls in her profile . . .
silly is gooood
Now I know what you are talking about LOL
I used both terms in the profile ;)
oh, yes, of course. exactly what i assumed, jill. :P
coming from the land of kangaroos, never heard of kangaroo balls other than the obvious and hi am back to finish
hi again andree
hi andree again
HAHAHA, me either Andree!
space hoppers here
Hi Andree
And I stated the obvious! :P
Yes, here too.
nothing wrong with the obvious
maybe sprite anted us to google and find the hairy kind
ga 5-20?
I wish there were big ones for grown-ups I'd ride one to the market
You wouldn't really, would you, westford? :P
but how would I get my groceries home?
yes!!!!
lol sure JC
no idea, flosey!
if everyone had one it would be great.
I look silly enough riding my dorky bicycle to the shops and markets - which I do! It's a powder-blue woman's bike with a big wicker basket on the front.
hi
wear a backpack, west
ga 5 -- take a look: ga*der and united states ** america
i love the wicker basket.
that would work jilli
It's the one in my profile pic - only that's cropped a lot, so the bike doesn't show there. It does in the full size uncropped copy.
ty bab
JC, I used to go shoping on my bike in England (but I was 12)
flosey - a couple of consenants sounds like ga from lord of the rings
A lot of people do here, Jilli - including me sometimes!
JC, it's a beautiful bike!
i love it - you can put all your bits and bobs in it.
if you cycle down country lanes you will have same prob as west JC lol
here, they are usually boring square wire ones.
andree, don't know lord of the rings stuff (not a Tolkien fan)
ty ty
Yes, Jilli - for a woman, perhaps! ;) It could only be improved by bright, mulicoloured streamers on the ends of the handlegrips! :P
fireworks
yay, flosey!
A beautiful bike for a woman, perhaps! :P It could only be improved, by the addition of bright, multicoloured streamers attached to the handlegrips! ;)
and a bell
holy smoke, flosey -- congrats! (How many heads?)
Congrats flosey!!
yay flosey !!
well done flosey
and a banana seat
just 2
yay flosey, jilli babble gave a clue at 1.58
Oh, goodness - tried posting that last message the first time and it looked like it didn't post - now I see it has, and I've posted it again! :P
waves to gord
flossy has gone to bed....i finifshe
hurah flosey - you made quick work of that!
finished
night flosey, sweet dreams
Oh yes, mab - I should put a banana seat on it! :P
my bike was a Raleigh with 3 gears. Took it to NY when we left England -- nobody had seen anything like it (1940)
congrats, flosey
OK icon changed.
Oh yes, Jilli? They're popular here . . .
i've always preferred raleigh bikes.
hi gord -- how was bridge?
That make of bike - they're made in Nottingham.
this is a first no hiccup at 3:00 a.m. (my time )
not staying in chat for obvious reasons, but just wanted to squeeee at mab. Mab! MAB!!! *squeeeeee* love you!
bridge was good.....george and i won again
i definitely got the hiccup, westford
Oh, how nice to hear - for obvious reasons! :)
hi ata, how are you
Hi Ata !!!How are you ?

GREAT icon, frances!!!!

morning caitlyn, morning jillibus, morning lynxxx...gonna try to knock some of today's puzzle out before bed
hi spellit
Morning spellit
nad hi happy
I know what's wrong with this grid -- no E, and all the letters are in the wrong place
its a conspiracy
thanks karen. i love dancing
finally NBT
the happydan is actually short for happydancer :)
e or no e, the grid is too short and too easy
me too dan nothing better love the tango :)
hi, josh, and congrats!
just like the george/gord bridge combo, heh!
Morning josh
wtg josh
well....i dont know bout that.....
he is too short.....haha
speak for yourself babble, i am finding it very challanging
g'morn
I did
you don't have to be tall to be a conspirator
ok.... ill make everyone a deal...if someone can figure out how to swap one of the 'h's for an e...i wont tell dr.g they did it..
I'm with you, andree
Use a screwdriver . . .
too late for me rolin, down to my last 3
for me...winning isnt as important ..as merely beating prem
wouldn't mind an R either
oh YESSS, gord!
oh andree... im gonna pretend i didnt see that
how would an e or an r help in a grid with words that do no use an e or an r?
j.c... all it would take is a small tap in the right place
well in thw right place you could make shone hone honer
gotta go to work have a wonderful day/night or whatever everyone
and fireworks
wise
bye kar
woo hoo
Bye karen hope you have a good day
YAY andree!!!
well done andee
congrats, Andree
Congrats Andree!
thx all
yay, Andree!
Must go and have my bath, back later bye
congrats Andree!
bye Cait
bye cait
J.C. you off boiling that kettle again?
No, Frances - I've had myself hooked up to an I.V. with tea on the drip - much easier. :P
hey all
small grid again
No, on second thought, that would rob one of the enjoyment of drinking (and tasting) it . . .
Hi, bfsog. Yes, small but tough . . .
'bout time too J.C.
hi bfsog
hi bfsog
hi again and hi bf
babrab thinks it's too easy
I don't
NBT at last
congrats jill
thanks, bfsog
yay, jilli!
dont you hate it when you think a word you are entering will be for a certain tile only to realise its for a tile higher up the grid?
but I only have 50 words, lol!
yes
hi bfsog
yes indeed -- like those Ns on the right?
indeed lol the bottom n is still blank
that happened with me today and oh4
bfsog - think of a 7 letter shape
phantom: nosegay
and then the first four letters of that make a word as well
my phantom was goanna
nice one Andree
off to watch the evening news, bye all and happy babbling
bye andree
bye Andree, have good evening
bye andree hope at least one thing is good news
Bye Andree and hi to anyone I missed arriving.

Goodnight jilli. Sleep well.
gn jilli hope you have ravel in your dreams
bye Jilli
ravel as in maurice ravel?
yes jilli went to a concert tonight
thanks, west! josh, I was at a piano concert tonight, featuring some Ravel
and Debussy...
and goodnight! *poof*
hmmm..i just cant get used to cooking dinner before 9am..
like to get an early start rolin?
very early?
no choice west... when i started the job i have now my partner worked from home...but now he is in the city...i cook early for when i work late
good idea then
he doesnt get home til nearly 7pm..too late to start cooking..
ive still not got into the urban way of eating dinner at 8.30
we eat later the more it stays light
you can take the girl of of the country but.....
we eat longer the more it stays light..lol
lose track of the time
youre right lynxx...my partner used to laugh at me for eating 'so early'... but surprise surprise.. hes got used to coming home to a set table and dinner ready to serve..lol
are you on daylight savings yet?
no west...lose track of self restraint..lol
yup...from last weekend..so much beeter in the mornings now..
Self-restraint? What fun is that? Being put in restraints by someone else is a lot more fun! ;)
nice time to pop on
good morning everyone
lol...j.c... my partner once mailed me fluffy hand cuffs..
hi jacq
Ooh, handcuffs are good! ;)
LOL J.C.
hi jacq
hey jacq
nice point to make JC and hello
HAHAHA, hello jacq . . .
i dont know about that j.c...but the fact i can drop a statement like that and watch my kids turn green IS good..
LOL
J.C. if you don't behave you'll have more than restraints to contend with!
Green? Or do you mean red? :P
parents aren't supposed to do the bump n grind
nah...definitely green...
Behave, Frances? But I'm always, constantly behaving! It's merely a question of HOW! ;)
Ahhh . . . with envy, rolin? ;)
lol
Badly J.C.
jacq...my kids learned the phrase...too much information...very young in life...
Hmmm . . . then why am I always being told how 'good' I am, Frances? ;)
badly is surely in the eye of the beholder
Lol jaq!
So have my nieces and nephews - from visiting with me! :P
as did mine, my eldest told me it was child abuse for me to be naked in my own bedroom when she walked in, she soon learned to knock
and besides, behaving badly can have soooo many good consequences
lmao....J.C.... theres so many answers to that...but this has always been held as a 'family' site...
precisely jacq...
Oh yes jaq.
Answers? I haven't asked any questions! :P
i love being a total brat
......and you don't have to stop as you get older.
I'm always a brat . . .
Part of the brat pack J.C?
i intend to stop nothing as i get older, i will be the resident from hell in the care home
Not quite, Frances . . .
....or should I say a member of.
Not the leader of! ;)
lol
Kettle . . . be right back.
and me jacq... 'i shall wear purple'...
laughs
Me too please J.C.
i can only imagine the impression my tattoos will make when some 19 yr old is bathing me and wiping my bum for me
hmmm..tea..
laughs hard
i was going to ask if that was your back ...jacq
yes it is, when the boss gave me my membership it was on the condition that i have this pic up, god knows why
pride?
pride isn't something i suffer from
no..i meant 'the boss'
ahhhh... maybe, but still don't get it
but he is the boss
*looking at my now empty tea mug*... i wish j.c. hadnt mentions the kettle
morning everyone
<-- Tea addict.
laughs, i was looking at my coffee cup thinking the same thing
heya kazzer
And I'm back with a nice big mug of Earl Grey . . .
brb
hi kazz
Morning, Kazzer!
hi Kazz
my brit friend says it tastes like dish soap to her
but I love it
Hello Kazz
*shaking head*... not earl grey.. but i could go for a camomile..*sigh*...ok..im going to have to make a cuppa ...brb
this place is getting quite bizarre time to move on
bye BabRab - keep safe
bye BR, and it's not that bad lol
damn i 've not been here long and all this talk of tea is making me want to go and get a drink but i must not! (i've already had 4 this morning)
bye bab stay high and dry
Goodnight all from me too
Hmmm . . . don't see anything bizarre here?
bye lynxxx
gn lyn take care
4 isn't bad
have 19 left going to the list
it is if you've only been up for about 1.5 hours
*looks around*..... i suppose that depends on your definition
<< can be quite bizarre, but prefers eccentric
ty J.C... you helped save dinner...
Oh, I think I can safely say I'm proably quite bizarre and eccentric, to those who live sheltered lives! ;)
How did I help save dinner - at this time in the morning?
laughs, scare a normal everyday, live longer
fireworks
and i agree with the people who said it was easy
cos..if you hadnt put the idea of a cup of tea into my head.,..i wouldnt have gone down to the kitchen where i had left tonight's dinner on a little too high a heat...
wtg josh!!
I have to agree with you J.C.
yay josh !
Well I am not finding it easy.

lol Yay JC
Yippee J.C.
Thank you, westford! ;)
Thanks, Frances! :)
reminds me of when our son was little he always said porkfitch for pitchfork
HAHA . . .
Or 'fitchpork'? :P
How did you do that?
well done jc, and hello everyone
I won't tell you what our daughter called a firetruck
We have a place here called Dunmow and every year tjhey have a competion. The prize is a Dunmow Flitch.......a side of bacon.
:(
That's terrible, Frances! :(
Hi sandy.
hi sandy is it 6:00 already?
Ooh, Sandy's back - and thank you, Sandy! :)
I know J.C.
HAHAHA, westford - I can imagine what she called it!
LOL wets.
with that I'll say good morrow
Oops sorry - west.
Half of what she called it is probably one of my favourite words! ;)
Bye west.
OK then - good night and sweet dreams to you, westford! :)
Trier J.C?
no west but I did something really stupid- I tripped on our vacuum cleaner and fell on my head- its a wonder i didnt break my leg or arm which are bruised - but I am still shaky and never have had a bad fall like that
NIght West
Oh no, Sandy! :(
Oh god - have you got some gel ice packs there?
Poor you sandy. Hope you are sitting down.
Sandy you goose
Erm no, Frances - it was the other half of that! :P
Sandy - do you also have any Ibuprofen?
lol I feel lucky to be alive- I don't like pain and I'm sure I suffer much worse than anyone else- I cry, I complain, I have a glass of wine etc.
If so, take some - should help with any swelling and relieve some of the pain.
Hmmm - or is that a glass of whine? ;)
Nobody likes pain, Sandy . . .
dont need meds JC, and I am gradually getting better( after much crying and suffering)
Awww . . .
Wish I could help! :(
Have scratched arm and lump on head and leg -Poooooor me
Yes, poor you!!! :(
Did you get my e-mail with the photo I sent you, Sandy?
If not, check for it - it should help you feel better! :P
You'll see me, hours after I had a very clumsy accident!
Nicky is loving being sympathetic to me, she is such a drama queen
one glass?
one glass?
yes i did JC. lovely pajamas you have on- very understated
One large glass of whine Herin
mmmmm i really should go to bed
I broke my foot during a matinee performance in the Cinderella pantomime - got up after the fall and finished the performance, trying to ignore the pain. Then was taken over to the hospital and treated - had to have a minor op under a local anaesthetic to remove a fragment of chipped bone, then had the foot and ankle spinted and bandaged up. Returned from there to the theatre, to do the evening performance - delivering my lines from a wheelchair! :P
seems very early for you herin
Dandini on wheels . . .
what a trooper!
Sandy it is but i got up at 530am
Sandy it is but i got up at 530am
It was a very clumsy accident - I lost my balance on a set of steps (a little ladder sort of thing) and toppled backwards, catching my foot as I fell.
JC on the stage they say Break a leg they don't mean it
Erm, I was silly more like . . .
HAHAHA, yes herin - but in this case, it was a foot! :P
I wasn't brave enough to break a leg!
Herin, you are young and resilient you dont need much sleep
Sandy I do when i am dealling with idiots in class
So that photo I sent you Sandy, is me on the wheelchair in the dressing room, preparing to go out - and what a pitiful face I'm making isn't it? :P
hmmm, maybe Nicky isn't the only drama queen around! lol
HAHAHA, well no Sandy - I particpate in drama (on the stage) and I'm more of a 'queen' than she'll ever be! ;)
*Flips limp wrist!*
hee hee
Well, time I got off here and got busy . . .
I have 39 left, are these mostly usual words or are they strange words?
Yes, it's not the easiest puzzle, Sandy . . .
no idea i should be studying
OK, I'm clearly being as thick as a really thick thing thickly...but the first sh4/6 - I swear, I feel like I've monkied the whole darned board...
a sa** pudding
whoops , the fall has made me confused
No, it's a strange one, Matty . . .
rhymes with ho4/7
I have that one, Sandy
Yes - was just trying to think how to clue it, without giving it away too easily.
It's the 4/6 before it
brb need to wash dishes
Which one do you need then, because that one was the first?
There isn't one before that . . .
No, there's an sh4/6 before the piggy 4/7....?
Oh - I'm confused.
You need the first sh4,6 - the very first 'sh' word?
Yes . . .
OK . . .
Yep - that's the one - after that, I have the 4/7 that rhymes with the pig
sh + 2 letters, rhyming with 'toe'
Short nickname for a Maurice or Morris.
Or Maureen . . .
Thank you JC!
Thank you thank you!
Although I'd never call anyone that! :P
You are very welcome, Matty! :)
Ooh, I'm from 'Londonish' too - originally! ;)
Various parts of it . . .
Over the years . . .
How are you making out, Frances?
Two left J.C.
Ooh, good - you'll have your wire forks soon! ;)
Sparkley things for me.
Fireworks - yay
ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ → W I R E F O R K S ↠ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ - For Frances!!! :)
wtg frances
wtg matty
good job frances
You have fireworks too, Matty? :)
Thank ye thank ye thank ye....doffs cap.
HAHAHA - and I curtsey, Frances! Very gracefully, I might add! ;)
I do indeed - thanks JC!
I love your wire forks, JC
I can just see you doing that too J.C.
Ooh, congrats Matty - and you're most welcome! :)
Of course, Frances - you probably have?
Aren't they wonderful matty.
Well done matty.
Oooh - you're from Teddington JC!
Yes J.C.
HAHAHA, thanks Matty - I just have to be different! :P
I'm in Hampton (not right this second, mind you, as I'm at work)
Yes, Matty . . .
Oh, OK - I was born there and lived there as a wee lad.
Until we moved . . .
Now I'm just a 'farmer', out in the bogs! :P
My daughter went to Teddington School
Oh yes?
Yep. Did ok there - she starts uni though in September - she's at Richmond College now
I see. What's she studying?
She's doing the International Baccalaurate now, and plans to study Biomedical science
Goodness, she must be doing well!
wow Matty
Fingers crossed - the trick is reminding her not to make life changing decisions based on the fact her boyfriend lives in Whitton
Oh, yes - that's a difficult thing!
Indeedy - especially when he's a 24 year old musician!
OH dear
I think it all seems terribly glamourous to her, even though he does live at home with his folks, brother (with whom he shares a bed) and sister
Hmmm . . .
tell her to study and then she can support him
It's not, really. Plenty of people play instruments.
My mother would have pitched a fit if i was 18 and oing out with a 24 year old
Yes, Sandy!
He does make money out of - plays for Sophie Ellis Bexter, amongst others
HAHAHA - or tell her to tell HIM to study, so he can do something more lucrative and move out of his parents' home!
In fact, my daughter's in a music video (in the background - not singing) - look up Alex Roots - Fake
tell her to do what she thinks is right for her and support her other wise
She's the girl in the gold lame catsuit in the vid
I can't imagine still living with my parents at that age - I was out well before then, to attend college, and never moved back.
Oh yes . . .
I moved out a month before my 21st
Herin, I'd always be there for her emotionally, but were she to choose to try to live his lifestyle, she'd have to support herself financially
I don't blame you there, Matty . . .
I moved out to go to uni when I was 18 - I went three thousand miles away!
fair enough.Oh and tell her not to do anything she will regret later (now im sounding old)
And then I went like 8000 miles from there
(I'm from NY, went to Uni in Oregon, then went to Germany, and now the UK for the last over 20 years)
It's easy to tell them, but if often goes in one ear and out the other - as our parents' advice often did with us! :P
Oh really, Matty? Interesting . . .
Oh yeah....
Erm - make that 'it', not 'if'. :P
My typing isn't always the most accurate!
Yep - each generation thinks they are the only generation that understand everything
or indeed, anything
Naturally . . . and that will never change.
whatever , she must make the most of her education
I am all for education- and you keep it up Herin!
I really hope so - to be fair I didn't - I should have got me degree in 1989 - I got it here (at Kingston) in 1999
Oh, well better later than never, Matty - good for you! :)
yes, I am sure that you have a great sense of satisfaction in the doing of that degree matthy
I like your snow photos, Matty . . .
It's been a rather bad winter! :/ Glad it's over!
we are having a very strange Autumn
ok ok im going to go study
herin is it 8pm there
Well, must run - good luck to all who are finishing! :)
or not finishing

HI
Hi there Scrabs. How are the bunnies?
Paradise Park, Cornwall
The bunnies are sweet and I am having severe separation anxiety because I am leaving on vacation tomorrow.
What do you do with the bunnies when you are away?
hi scrab hi chiley
TY for sa6
{{Hugs Scrabbs}} I am sure they will be fine Scrabbs..... I will keep a cyber-eye on them for you **wish I was keeping a real eye on them**
where are you going scrab?
My college nephew will stay here for the week. He lived with me for 2 yrs in high school and stays here 1-2 nights/week, so he knows the bunnies, but I know them best and they are bonded to me.
They will be OK, as they always have been when I leave. i am going to Florida
Awww Scrabbler sounds like what we do with our fur brats. We are going to have someone house siting
I dreamt that we were on vacation in Minnesota and I found a Bichon puppy and wanted to keep it
Yikes, I must get ready!! Bye kids. Enjoy the day!
I am sure he will treat them as you do Scrabs....

how come ponzi isn't a word?

I agree, ponzi should be a word. It was probably a proper name at one time, but it is used as a normal word now.
any clue for the upper left A?
There is a 4 and 5pl an + vowels for the
That was for the upper left A sorry
thanks Marc
how about the O beneath it>?

Don't have them yet
k

thanks Dan2...had seen that before.
good clue
np
and, for nbt before I head to work, the bottom corner N?
not there yet, sorry
do you go alphabetically, or geographically in the grid? As you can tell, I"m a piecemeal kind
I try to go geographically and get to at least halfway on each tile in my first past
gotcha
i'm always curious as to how others do it
if I find a common ending or rhyme, or long words that contain shorter ones, I'll jump around
Change around depending on the size of the grid
any clues for some of the longer words
conman
there's a 7 that ends with that, but starts with where you buy stuff, ollics
the N corner has negative and mocking syllable and it's plural
ta jbp
and with that, I'm off cubicle land
have a good day all
Does anyone know what jbp meant by mocking syllable?
also the chemical symbol for sodium
no
for the 7?
yes
that clue was for the bottom corner n, the 7 clue is compound word - guy who runs place where you buy stuff
Thanks but still don't understand the clue, have that 7
What does the other 7 start with?
how many words today?
86
i thought there would be less, it's not a great grid
Sometimes the smaller grids are harder
mornin babblers

good morning all
good morning

hi CJ ! what are you seeing?
Hi Harp
The most interesting thing in our area has been the abundance of pine siskins at our feeders
CJ, we are so lucky that our friend attracts painted buntings at his feeder.. just regular wild bird seed.. they don't like the sunflower seeds.. they are so beautiful
they are magnificent! Lucky you, Aloy. My friend has a large wooded area behind her home. They saw a pileated woodpecker last week.
Big bird! We have a pair that often fly in and out of a big oak tree.. never tire of watching them!
ga5,20 please?
ga + not yes + the vernal equinox marks the *irst day of Spring

a bit of info we have a fella in a town near me suing the gaming commision cause he was at the racetrack playing slots and the thing hit and said 34 million.they said the machine did a faulty payout alert and offered him 5 free meals instead!
omg
Not good babRab
his problem in suing is that it is a 5 cent machine and the most it can realistically pay out is $9,9995.00
I've heard of things like that b4 Cross, doesn't seem right does it
well he is going ahead with it,adding a couple mil for oain and suffering etc

Good day Babbleland!
howdy uni
ive hit the wall of doom at 25 left:/
I've 54 left, but I dunno how far I am from the wall. Just restarted, but this is hard!
the wall is thick,high and damp and mossy and has a bunch of qu,s x, and y,s printed all over it:)
42 left..
it potects a he rd of a,s lol
12
Keep going, Sue! So very close ...
I did the coolest substituting today at a H.S.
I was the agri teacher
with all the animals, goats, sheep, hampsters, bunnies
it was soooo great
Whoa, that is so neat! My high school had none of that, lol.
Was the course to teach students about the world or was it more sort of farming oriented?
farm and small animals
That is very cool, Sue. Must have been very fun!
it was great.
8
38. Not seeing anything, so I am going to list. I'm a baby!
I got the sh7, Yahoo
Yay Sue! Keep goin
do you have a clue for the sh7????? please
*Feeling dumb now that I have listed, 28 left*
listed? outrageous behaviour!
Forgive me Ata, for I am weak. I always list at some point.
your mother should disown you!
sh7= a male store clerk
Mother? What mother? I was raised by wolves..
Are you suggesting that anyone who uses the list is a wi4/10?
in a shed?
hi tor!
In a shed without food, at that.
21 left and doing the grind:/
no water either, I hope
howdy ata:) didnt see you sneak in;)
17 left... I still flog myself daily, lest I attempt to rise above my position.
I should think so. You should have one of those thigh things that the Opus Dei have
hi crossy!
Painful image : (
the first sh4/6 is kicking my butt
how's the KoG?
The KoG is fab. She has been stuck to me like glue for the past three days as I have been home more. Currently grooming her arm and my scarf right next to me.
Hobbit and Sily?
awwwww. Sily is right here too, ever-present in her basket. Hobbit is being grumpy
Grumpy? But she is of such a lovely disposition (pretend there is an exclamation point here)
sue - it's a slang word for a dumb guy
3 cons + vowel
Oy, three left. Thanks asgreen...I feel like a sh** now.
LOL. Every now and then she has a grumpy day. She's guarding the remains of my dinner in case Sily dares looks at it
except Sily#s not remotely interested in it lol
always yiddish when I cant find it
yw... 9 left for me
lol uni
4 left
Sily IS a cat. Well, that means little. Em eats everything. Maybe Emma needs a basket, but I prefer her to cuddle me :)
im5, na4, no7 & sa6
Hurrah! Le fin!
im5 is very similar to a picture, with an altered final vowel.
Sily eats nothing *facepalm* she's the pickiest thing EVER
no7 - is it a compound?
sa6 builds off the four, with an indefinite article at the end.
no7 is a nine sided figure, building off the preceding four.
and she looooves her basket. It's right under my spotlights so she's wonderfully warm, and she's right next to me
you've finished? YAY!!!
tx uni! 2 to go
I s'pose only having one room and not even a bedroom for myself does leave me with no room for a basket either, really. And Sily may be a picky eater, but she plays with feathered toys beautifully!
Keep going, as! Let me know what else needs a clue..
she does :):) she loooooooooves feathers
... uno
I sacrificed a big bit of my desk for her :)
it's a 4/4! lol
I loved watching a few vids of she and Hobbit the other day. You may live overseas, but sometimes it is like you are just next door :)
fireworks fo rme!
ok, gotta run, got kids to pay attention to now! lol - bye!
Congrats As!! **impressive fire baton display of glory**
Your desk is lovely :) Mine is mostly clear because Em loves to sleep on it. And everywhere.
I'm good at putting all my random stuff online, when your best friend lives in Oregon, you get used to being English but nearby America - and Nova Scotia :)
see? it's the same! sily just has a basket to sleep in
2nd na4/4 please
I feel like I have tried everything
same as the other one, sue, just change last letter to consonant.
sorry, I am missing the ga6
Makes me almost glad that your friend is in Oregon :) Although it does make me realize I'm rather lacking in compadres. Least I have the beau :)
ga5
lol! I have about 6 proper friends here and over there. I'd rather them than 27 kind of friends!
ga + opp. of yes + consonant. Sorry, shi*e clue.
that was it
fireworks

Ive tried every dentist prefix I know
what is it mama? an na4?
not sure about the prefix but there's 2 babblets: na + ** vey! (different vowel)

Yes . the clue was na4 + a prefix that means mouth.....I think

Oh JBV I knew it would be one I already have LOL
Yes I hve myself a little list of babblets as I come to Know them and got that one earlief
how very perfect! my last word for fireworks was oo 4/5 (I hear them now)

I kept loooking for a real biolgy type word for that double o haha
too smart for your own good, MaMa :)
biology? even
you know thinking oogenesis or something like that
that's a good babble word, i'm sure it will show up one day
There is always that issue with making it harder than it is LOL
hi, ewaugh, just saw your profile, hello from a long ago SPanish major - what are you studying these days?
I must take a quick break with 33 to go ... and fix papa some dindin : )
BBl friends
bye MaMa good luck later
oh sorry jbv i was away for a minute..!
the class i'm taking this quarter is latin american poetry : )
what did you end up doing with your major jbv?
how many courses in the major?
how many required, offered, i've taken..? haha
well, I majored in Spanish, French and English, my first job was as an English as a Second Language Teacher in NYC, stayed with that field, am now the Director of a Bilingual/ESL Program in NJ
mind if I ask if you are a heritage speaker (spanish language background?)
oh wow! thats awesome, i'm currently planning to become a translator of some sort but may add my teaching degree in case i later change my mind.
i don't mind at all, and no i'm not. lol
only because there is a great need for bilingual teachers but I am seeing many university graduates with a Spanish degree that does not prepare them for teaching
so if you want to go into translation - a very worthy and needed profession - great, but if you can take courses leading to a teaching certificate, I'd recommend that, too
yes, i'm only in my second year but i've been looking for jobs/internships and there isn't much in my area other than teaching.. but its hard to tell what will be needed 2 or 3 years from now
well the Spanish-speaking population is growing so the need will only be greater - good luck with your courses
thank you, i've still got many to go.. ll
*lol

Hey there, oodleberry.
Hi oddle and gapeach
very anti climactic grid
Hi there, Mom.
ga... do you know anything about peaches?
I guess I had better go dry the dishes. See everyone soon. {{Hugs}}
Yep, know how to eat them.
cause when I was in florida I would get ga peaches in the supermarket and they were always mealy and never sweet
know how to eat them? why is there a certain way to eat them?
Didn't mean that to be a smarty....the best ones are called 'cling free'. Very sweet.
yes ma'am I know, used to have the best ones in washington state... whether cling or free stone they were always sweet and juicy... had to have two paper towels at the ready
Yes, you were eating them correctly.
hi al...MOM!
Hi there, 72
Temple Owl.
