12:23 am

12:23 am

not I

12:23 am

no and sh

12:23 am

no7 has been called but i haven't found it

12:23 am

not even a 6 ruru

12:23 am

** breaks two heels ***

12:23 am

Ouch, Just - how did you do that? :(

no 7 sh 7

12:23 am

lol, Just, every cloud has a silver lining then

12:23 am

I broke my right foot a few years ago, in a clumsy accident.

12:24 am

I've found the sh7, still looking for the no7

12:24 am

"breaks two heels, two elbows, two wrists "

12:24 am

I was on the 2nd day of my winter vacation in Mexico, when one of the pool guys flung me into the pool unexpectedly

12:24 am

Ouch, no - you don't want to be doing that, Sandy! :(

12:24 am

damn, it didn't take shiomas

12:25 am

landed on my foot with a thud only 4ft of water

12:25 am

who sandy????

12:25 am

Oh no, Just . . . god, that must've been excruciating! :(

12:25 am

just joking just, thinking of losing weight

12:25 am

it has been in more ways than just the heel jc but thankfully 3 months are down

12:25 am

oh lol

12:26 am

Do you work Just?

12:26 am

Yes, I'm sure - from reading what you posted about it earlier, Just. :( I'm sorry for what you're going through!

12:26 am

I remember the first day after..saying to my hubby...omg it's only day 1!!

12:26 am

thx jc and no sandy, not employed for a salary

12:27 am

I can't imagine the pain, Just - you actually broke the heel bone? That's a very thick bone! :(

12:28 am

yes on the right side of my right foot plus another bone on the side just below littlest piggy

12:28 am

Ouch!!! :(

can anyone guide me to the bottom o in the 4th column?

12:29 am

so now I'm just starting the process of learning how to walk again with physio

12:29 am

do the people at the holiday place take any responsibility?

12:29 am

ouch! poor mar!

12:30 am

oo4 dee

12:30 am

Have the bones healed well, Just?

12:30 am

yes volley, it is between the n and the i

12:30 am

12:30 am

oo4/5 Dee

12:30 am

Volley, so sorry to hear about your pastor and I hope the family is doing ok

12:31 am

well I can only put about 50lbs of pressure on it eitherwise it's very painful still

12:31 am

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

12:32 am

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

12:32 am

the resort paid all my medical expenses in Mexico and gave me a small token of their regret

12:32 am

NBT

12:32 am

hmm Just, well that is something I guess

12:32 am

Good, Just . . .

12:33 am

nothing will make up for months of pain just, they should have given a large token

12:33 am

wd rbud

12:33 am

I agree,

12:33 am

Andree . . .

12:34 am

(Sorry - pressed 'Enter' too soon accidentally!)

12:34 am

sigh, they could've gotten away with giving me nothing andree cause in Mexico everyone is corrupt; judges, police, army, gov't

12:34 am

this is a horrible story talking of horse play-our neighbour took one of his horses to the beach and it drowned

12:34 am

that's dreadful, mar, sorry you had to go through that.

was it their fault you fell mar?

12:34 am

oh no!

12:34 am

Oh no, Sandy!!! :(

12:34 am

yes dee

12:34 am

How did that happen?

that is awful then

12:34 am

it was an employee of theirs that cause the accident

12:35 am

that is strange sandy, I just saw a national geographic on horses, said they were strong swimmers...

12:35 am

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

12:36 am

where on your foot dee?

12:36 am

the horse might not have been swimming before

5th metatarsal

12:36 am

when you think of the foot - all those tiny bones.

but I have rheumatoid, and I think that slowed the healing process

12:36 am

not sure where that is...on the sole side or the instep?

12:37 am

I never take Scrimmy to the beach- he panics as soon as he sees the water

12:37 am

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

12:37 am

It was about three years ago now - yes, that would be right.

12:37 am

Scrimmy is a handsome horse, sandy

12:37 am

Is that one of the little bones on the top of the foot?

12:37 am

I won't have that worry sandy, as I'll never be taking a horse (mine esp) to a beach !

12:37 am

hello all

12:38 am

Yes, Mab - he sure is.

on the side (from the smallest toe down the side)

12:38 am

hi jilli!

12:38 am

well I certainly commiserate with you Dee

12:38 am

Jilli darling - how are you??? :)

12:38 am

12:38 am

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

12:38 am

is he a thoroughbred, or what breed?

12:39 am

feeling pleasant -- been to a piano concert -- Pascal Rogé and Ami

12:39 am

lol sandy, just the opposite if you reread my post

12:39 am

Hi jilli

12:39 am

ah, jilli, heavenly!

12:39 am

12:39 am

12:39 am

12:39 am

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

12:40 am

yeah Dee its the ligaments tendons and muscles that are the killer..my whole foot is affected and swollen including toes

12:40 am

Check your e-mail, Sandy - and you'll see me with my broken foot! :P

12:40 am

Ravel, Debussy, Dukas

12:40 am

oh my goodness, i think maybe we all should were work boots with steel toes, even to the beach!

12:40 am

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

12:41 am

love ravel and debussy; less familiar with dukas

sorry didn't mean to empty that twice

12:41 am

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.

12:41 am

nice pajamas JC

12:41 am

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

12:41 am

12:41 am

I hope he doesn't help with Babble Jilli

12:42 am

I was 5.

12:42 am

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 . . . ;)

12:47 am

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.

12:47 am

we'll be miserable together

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.

12:54 am

the cautery was done painlessly, using trichloracetic acid, which I was proud to be able to pronounce at age 5, lol!

12:54 am

Oh, no Andree . . .

Can't imagine a burst eardrum, Jilli - that must hurt? :(

12:56 am

gn dee be there for pastor's wife and family

12:57 am

I'm amazed you could still hear with that ear?

12:58 am

hjarts at the time, JC -- not now, but must be careful about ggetting water in it so have to wear bathing cap when swimming

12:58 am

that i word at the top is eluding me hugely

12:59 am

*hurts (not hjarts, gaaaa)

12:59 am

the i word sandy?

12:59 am

burst eardrums are fairly common, i think. they are highly treatable and do heal well.

12:59 am

all the words are eluding me!

12:59 am

mab, this was a "kidney perforation"

1:00 am

i have just seen a few and am down to 44

1:00 am

the i word from the top i Just

1:00 am

just did you get that top row lonesome i?

1:00 am

sounds hopelessly complicated jilli; ears, kidneys!

1:00 am

so April 1 is our 30th wedding anniversay and my hubby prepared a wonderful meal today for Wed!

1:00 am

no it is still elusive

1:00 am

you know I mean kidney-shaped, lol

1:01 am

no I don't have it either

1:01 am

that's so nice just

1:01 am

Happy Anniversary-to-be, Just!!!

1:01 am

nice just and congrats

1:01 am

how is your cleaning woman working out?

1:01 am

Just, my husband couldn't boil an egg, yours sound great!

1:01 am

im5/16

1:02 am

he's off Mondays so he did it today...a lovely beef bourgigon

1:02 am

tyvm andree

1:02 am

oh good jilli. had a strange image of you in mind for a moment ; )

1:02 am

nbt

1:02 am

well I helped him by telling him what to do, although he is a great bbq and short order chef

1:02 am

wtg west!

1:03 am

if someone is male and has a pig farm could he be called a hogman?

1:03 am

never got the cleaning lady westie :(

1:03 am

that's too bad just but I have a feeling she wouldn't have done it the way you'd like

1:03 am

I think so West but babble doesn't

1:03 am

brb

1:04 am

hard to believe 30 years gone bye...

1:05 am

our 18 year old cat is running helter skelter through the house I think she has an imaginary mouse

1:05 am

oh westie my son is going down to Raleigh Durham NC for a job offer...

1:05 am

it flies by doesn't it just

1:05 am

wow that's a far cry from BC

1:05 am

Do you know anything about that area?

1:06 am

It certainly does . . . tempus fugit.

1:06 am

he'd rather go to BC

1:06 am

Cats hallucinate, westford - I'm sure of it!

1:06 am

fireworks

1:06 am

I hear it's very nice my husband works with someone whose son went to Duke and just staryed there

1:06 am

well done hugs

1:06 am

congrats huga

1:06 am

yay hugs!!

1:06 am

thanks sandy and just

1:06 am

I'll ask him to find out more

1:07 am

yay hugs

1:07 am

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!

1:07 am

ty west and Andree

1:07 am

so whaddya think scares him the most? Yankie penchant for owning guns...

1:07 am

JC this is a very old cat who usually sleeps 23 hours a day lol

1:07 am

oh that would be great westie..

1:07 am

thank you

1:07 am

My dog does that

1:07 am

they say cats are very spiritual, maybe she see a ghost

1:07 am

how does his wife feel about it?

1:08 am

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 . . .

1:08 am

our gun-owining fixation scares me too.

1:08 am

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

1:08 am

not in my house she'd better not lol

1:08 am

sometimes I wonder if the dog sees my Dad's ghost the way she reacts. Sometimes, she'll actually go and hide

1:08 am

Perhaps, Sandy - I often wonder if they can see orbs, which usually only show up visually to us, in photos?!

1:08 am

Oh really, Hugabugs?

1:08 am

well she does want to leave Montreal.....

1:08 am

That's interesting . . .

1:09 am

she's sitting on the arm of my chair now I guess that's enough movement for this year

1:09 am

one never knows........

1:09 am

they're going this Sat til Wed ...he'll have to miss one of the seders

1:09 am

oh I thought she had family on the west coast just

1:09 am

the ghost is probably on your lap West

1:09 am

my old cat, i do beleive is haunted by our late sweet malka the cat. and she was horrible to malka.

1:09 am

she does but this job's salary is too good to pass up

1:09 am

nuh uh my laptop is there

1:09 am

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

1:10 am

wow

1:10 am

Wow . . .

1:10 am

it can happen

1:10 am

I have heard many similar stories hugs

1:10 am

how fascinating, hugabugs.

1:10 am

kinda creepy lol

1:10 am

I've had articles moved or fall from a shelf when no one is around or in the middle of the night.

1:11 am

Hello everyone. Interesting Hugs, wonder why he just appears to men, maybe he's having a word about treating the women right

1:11 am

veerrrryyy creepy !

1:11 am

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.

1:11 am

Actually, I find it comforting to think that my Dad is watching over me

1:11 am

hi lynxxx

1:11 am

very inconsiderate!

1:11 am

hi lyn

1:11 am

Well, he isn't an 'ex' technically - we didn't break up.

1:11 am

Smells are common apparitions JC

1:11 am

he's never appeared to me visually either.

1:12 am

We were together until he unfortunately passed away.

1:12 am

Yes Sandy, so I've heard.

1:12 am

sad....

1:12 am

sorry JC hope you can remember the good times

1:12 am

how sad, jc. so sorry.

1:12 am

Thank you Sandy, westford and mab.

1:12 am

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.

1:13 am

very sad and prob way to young too

1:13 am

Of course, Just.

1:13 am

hmmm..

1:13 am

your father telling you something?

1:13 am

accident or illness?

1:14 am

I think he was warning me not to marry the man. As it turns out, he was right (as usual)

1:14 am

I can see why you feel comforted though Hugs

1:14 am

Very interesting, Hugabugs . . .

1:14 am

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

1:14 am

was he rich or poor?

1:14 am

He could have been fairly well off if he didn't drink every penny he owned

1:14 am

Yes, it's fascinating when that happens, Andree . . .

1:14 am

oy. the drink...

1:15 am

It's so interesting to see clairvoyants, or have your cards or tea leaves read

1:15 am

she said i see him wearing a kilt, it was uncanny

1:16 am

It certainly is, Hugs . . .

1:16 am

when I lived in DC, i was struck by the number of clairvoyants, palm readers, etc. so appropriate for that city.

1:17 am

I had my card read way back when I was almost 18, and boy... she nailed so many things on the head

1:17 am

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 . . .

1:17 am

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

1:17 am

Oh wow, Sandy!!!

1:17 am

eerie

1:18 am

this one told me a couple of things made me burst into tears

1:18 am

can you tell a little more sandy?

1:18 am

ah, there

1:18 am

yes , I am sure there are a lot of fakes out there- but every now and then.....

1:18 am

there's the buffalo

1:18 am

Welcome back, Jilli! ;)

1:18 am

Yes, Sandy - I think most are probably fakes, but there are some good ones.

1:19 am

and have any of you changed the way you have lived your lives because what the clairvoyant have said?

1:19 am

;-) JC

1:19 am

I've always been interested in the paranormal

1:19 am

yes, jilli - i always think that's the hairy nosed porpoise.

1:19 am

Would you like an invitatoin to the group then, Hugs?

1:19 am

not at all. She just predicted so many things that came to pass

1:19 am

Erm - 'invitation', that is. :P

1:20 am

that's the inia, mab

1:20 am

No wonder I'm having trouble with this grid - my typing's out the window this early in the morning!

1:20 am

sure JC... not that I have any photos or anything like that to share

1:20 am

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!!!

1:20 am

similiar letter pattern. thanks, jilli

1:20 am

That's fine, Hugs - not everyone there does!

1:21 am

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)

1:21 am

spooky eh? but somehow comforting

1:22 am

really nice Sandy

1:22 am

if nicky has to have a fusion, she might not be able to play the piano- that is very upsetting for her

1:22 am

OK, Hugs - check your e-mail for a group invite and you too, Sandy! ;) Oh sorry - would you like one as well, Jilli?

1:23 am

Oh dear, Sandy - I sure hope that's not the case? :(

1:23 am

that's quite lovely sandy.

1:23 am

any good news from the surgeon Sandy?

1:23 am

no thanks, JC -- not into that

1:23 am

well we will see on Tuesday about the op

1:23 am

OK, Jilli - just thought I'd ask, didn't want you to feel left out! ;)

1:23 am

fingers crossed, sandy

1:24 am

thanks, JC, you old sweetie

1:24 am

Old? :P Why thank you, I think? ;)

1:24 am

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!

1:24 am

*Feels ancient, suddenly.*

1:24 am

i wish the best too sandy (although sorry don't know the details but can surmise)

1:24 am

hope whatever they come up with they can help nik

1:25 am

stuff and nonsense, JC, lol!

1:25 am

Hmmm, Jilli?

1:25 am

jilli is the iw the buffalo?

1:25 am

Have to go and making a rule- not coming back til at least 6pm -

1:26 am

bbl

1:26 am

Well I'm getting there you know, Jilli . . .

1:26 am

you're a mere lad, jc

1:26 am

says the kid about half my age

1:26 am

bye Sandy

1:26 am

bye sandy we'll miss you

1:27 am

bye sandy

1:27 am

bye sandy

1:27 am

bye sandy (what time is it now your way?)

1:27 am

we are all getting 'there' wherever that may be. unavoidable condition of life, aging

1:27 am

Awww - take care, Sandy!

1:27 am

buffalo is an4, I think, Andree, and theres a pl, too.

1:27 am

and it's damned annoying

1:27 am

Too true, mab . . .

1:28 am

well, I'm off as well. Got the email JC, thanks. G'night/day everyone

1:28 am

Yes, and that too . . .

1:28 am

it sure is mab

1:28 am

Good, Hugs! :)

1:28 am

night huga

1:28 am

A good night to you . . .

1:28 am

night hugs

1:28 am

night hugs

1:28 am

take care hugs

1:28 am

nite, Hugs!

1:28 am

think the baby boomer generation expected to never get old

1:28 am

bye Hugs

1:28 am

thx rbud, thought so but found that iw babblet and wondered if it was that

1:29 am

bye hugs

1:29 am

Hmmm . . . how can anyone expect to never get old?

1:29 am

Happens to everyone - even the best of us! :P

1:30 am

the definition of middle-aged seems to keep being extended. I'm 53 and told i'm mid-age.

1:30 am

and frankly, i feel young

1:30 am

just a quirk of that generation jc lol

1:30 am

I'm turning 50 this May . . .

1:30 am

old is 15 years older than you are

1:30 am

goodness you don't look it

1:30 am

And am often told I look about 10 years younger. I'll take that . . .

1:30 am

lol jilli

1:31 am

he's terribly healthy

1:31 am

i like that jilli

1:31 am

That sounds good Jilli

1:31 am

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! ;)

1:31 am

my mother will be 93 in May she refuses to use her cane because 'it makes me look like an old lady"

1:31 am

lol west

1:31 am

attagirl, west's mum!

1:31 am

ha! that's lovely, west

1:32 am

Who's terribly healthy, mab?

1:32 am

heheh feisty woman!

1:32 am

she's a pistol

1:32 am

i was still being asked for id in pubs when i had my own kids

1:32 am

I read your profile, jc. vegan, exercise, etc.

1:32 am

Erm, yes mab - but I also smoke! :P

1:32 am

Now if I could just give that up . . .

1:32 am

ooo me too....

1:33 am

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.

1:33 am

ditto and ditto

1:33 am

I started in my mid- 40s - crazy.

1:33 am

I know I look much better in glasses ... miss a lot without them

1:33 am

that is crazy mab.....very crazy

1:33 am

almost never drink.

1:34 am

Really, mab? Wow - that's odd! I started in my teens, as most do.

1:34 am

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

1:34 am

*spouts random unconnected grid-related musing* I think if you are "pigheaded" you probably rely to much on your "hogma" *relurk*

1:34 am

BabRab! very good to see you

1:34 am

if i could go back in time that's the one thing that I would never have started

1:34 am

hi bable

1:34 am

i was in zimbabwe and everyone around me was smoking. i caved in to peer pressure.

1:34 am

I like my glasses, BR - they make me look quite intellectual, so I can fool people that I'm smarter than I am! ;)

1:34 am

me too just

1:35 am

Stidmama!!! :)

1:35 am

hi lurky stid

1:35 am

hi stiddie!

1:35 am

who was that masked stid? :p

1:35 am

hi stid, you lurker, you

1:35 am

I definitely concur, Just . . .

1:35 am

I don't care much what others think and spend little time trying to impress them

1:35 am

I would love to be able to go back in time and NOT start smoking!

1:35 am

Well I don't either, BR - I was joking.

1:36 am

exactly cause nothing works for me and I can't stop

1:36 am

*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*

1:36 am

sure

1:36 am

I tend to do that . . . occupational hazard. :P

1:36 am

hi stid

1:36 am

i quit last year, but nerve wracking events helped me to fall off the wagon.

1:36 am

Hmmm . . .

1:36 am

As old as me, stid? :P

1:36 am

hi Stid-not-here

1:37 am

oh no, JC! no one's THAT old... (not even dear jill) just "older-than-me" old...

1:37 am

the big 5 0 stid?

1:37 am

happy bday to Tom :D

1:37 am

Im not here either!!

1:37 am

hello cait-who's-also-not-here

1:37 am

*sticks nose in air and ignores stid*

1:37 am

not yet mab. a few more years yet! LOL

1:38 am

hi cait too

1:38 am

un-hello Caitlyn

1:38 am

i think i may be hallucinating. i could have sworn i just saw stidmama and caitlyn!

1:38 am

Hi all

1:38 am

hi to all who aren't really here! lol

1:38 am

*hugs jill REALLY HARD so she can't ignore*

1:38 am

it's their ghosts actually

1:38 am

LOL mab

1:38 am

Bore da, Caitlyn! ;)

1:38 am

hi cait

1:38 am

zigs

1:38 am

Hmmm . . . don't I get one, stid? :/

1:38 am

Bore da JC

1:39 am

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.

1:39 am

Yawn.........flippity flop!

1:39 am

oof

1:39 am

or the morning.

1:39 am

Into the PB with you this instant Karenth! :P

1:39 am

eh sorry about that hi everyone :D

1:39 am

hello karenth-going-to-PB!

1:39 am

hi karen

1:39 am

I'm here but I'm gonna not be here

1:39 am

i can even hear their voices, i think...

1:39 am

Hi karenth

1:39 am

It's similar to a state of yours over there, stid.

1:39 am

o and old word for sexy leg

1:39 am

yes jill??? you're invited for cake tomorrow you know... Mother's at 6.

1:39 am

Only ending in a different vowel - if that's the correct one?

1:40 am

hm. thanks west and JC

1:40 am

I think it is . . .

1:40 am

that was it, west!

1:40 am

Just, you are not really here either

1:40 am

JC that one comes from the upper O, but thanks anyway!

1:40 am

thanks West

1:40 am

sorry, stid -- library AGM

1:40 am

Oh sorry - I had the wrong one. :( I tried . . .

1:40 am

You're right, yes - still learning how this works!

1:42 am

back later , 14 left

1:42 am

that O word is obscure, to say the least!

1:42 am

Are any of us really here, Caitlyn - or are we dreaming this, I wonder? :P

1:42 am

I did dream I was Babbling the other night - scary! :P

1:42 am

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...

1:42 am

later andree

1:42 am

but I'll teleport over right after the meeting

1:42 am

That is a sign that you are now an addict JC

1:43 am

sounds good, jill! see you then! *wink*

1:43 am

Ouch, stid - the poor dog! :(

1:43 am

iI think we are in babble space

1:43 am

How about one of the bootees I've seen advertised even for big dogs?

1:44 am

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?

1:44 am

all is babble, anything else is illusion... *floats gently in air singing OHM* (like in physics, not a mis-type -- this time)

1:44 am

LOL stid

1:44 am

Everything else, stid??? Flippin' heck . . .

1:45 am

what have you been smoking, stid?

1:45 am

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.

1:45 am

a bootie would be helpful i should think, keeping it warm and clean.

1:45 am

but only bootie for a while -- need air circulation

1:45 am

stid I want what youve got lol

1:46 am

he'll get a bandage off

1:46 am

yes, my young(ish) padawan, JC of the red-eye knights... *grin*

1:46 am

rofl karenth

1:46 am

Maybe I'll go back to my pit.

1:46 am

he would get a bandage off, but not immediately.

1:46 am

(((frances)))

1:46 am

Frances?

1:46 am

hi frances!

1:47 am

Morning Frances

1:47 am

Was beginning to think it was something I'd said!

1:47 am

true, stid -- you don't want him licking it too much -- can ulcerate

1:47 am

hello frances you're so quiet

1:47 am

if he's licking it that's probably good. many creatures' saliva have antibiotic qualities.

1:48 am

i forgot, jilli is the expert

1:48 am

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*

1:48 am

oh no, mab

1:49 am

oh yes, your great danes!

1:49 am

thanks for the advice, all! (and if he weren't already on antibiotics I would definitely be asking for some)

1:49 am

good selection, stid

1:49 am

Hello west. No, I waited a while after my entrance and was about to give up on a response!

1:49 am

but not a vet, mab!

1:49 am

Have a good sleep stid, and Happy Birthday to Tom

1:49 am

((hugs all))) see you next time! *poof*

1:49 am

didn't see you come in frances

1:49 am

well, in lieu of a vet, you are our dog expert.

1:50 am

bbyeeee stid

1:50 am

but happy you're here

1:50 am

Did a late flippity flop west.

1:50 am

Sorry Frances, Im not awake yet!! LOL

1:50 am

we have a real vet in Babble somewhere

1:50 am

I was a little late had to look for 'kangaroo balls'

1:51 am

someday when stid has time I'll tell her about the dream I had

1:51 am

actually, frances, caitlyn isn't even really here, or so she announced upon entering.

1:51 am

cait did you give us up for Lent?

1:51 am

look for what west !!!!!!!!

1:51 am

mab, is your icon a Gorey?

1:52 am

that's what Sprite put in her profile today's icon theme

1:52 am

LOL west, no I have been a bit of a lurker lately

1:52 am

HAHAHA - Babble would be hard to give up for Lent! :P

1:52 am

karen, it's the icon theme for today

1:52 am

someone did maybe it was katie

1:53 am

Katie gave up for Lent.

1:53 am

had to look at a lot of hairy ones in google before I found these bouncy things

1:53 am

just avoid looking up "roo balls" - apparently there's a whole industry. NOT the same thing at all.

1:53 am

If I had a photo handy of me on a skippy ball, I would post one! :P

1:53 am

so it was Katie

1:53 am

I had no idea that's what they were called

1:53 am

1:54 am

1:54 am

Trust you J.C. Lol.

1:55 am

Yes, Karenth - that's the usual name! ;)

1:55 am

1:55 am

But Jilli called them skippy balls in her profile . . .

1:55 am

1:55 am

1:55 am

I used both terms in the profile ;)

1:55 am

1:57 am

1:58 am

1:58 am

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

1:58 am

wear a backpack, west

1:58 am

ga 5 -- take a look: ga*der and united states ** america

1:58 am

i love the wicker basket.

1:58 am

1:58 am

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.

1:59 am

ty bab

1:59 am

JC, I used to go shoping on my bike in England (but I was 12)

1:59 am

flosey - a couple of consenants sounds like ga from lord of the rings

1:59 am

A lot of people do here, Jilli - including me sometimes!

1:59 am

JC, it's a beautiful bike!

1:59 am

i love it - you can put all your bits and bobs in it.

2:00 am

if you cycle down country lanes you will have same prob as west JC lol

2:01 am

here, they are usually boring square wire ones.

2:01 am

andree, don't know lord of the rings stuff (not a Tolkien fan)

2:01 am

ty ty

2:01 am

Yes, Jilli - for a woman, perhaps! ;) It could only be improved by bright, mulicoloured streamers on the ends of the handlegrips! :P

2:01 am

fireworks

2:01 am

yay, flosey!

2:01 am

A beautiful bike for a woman, perhaps! :P It could only be improved, by the addition of bright, multicoloured streamers attached to the handlegrips! ;)

2:10 am

Use a screwdriver . . .

2:13 am

2:14 am

oh YESSS, gord!

2:14 am

oh andree... im gonna pretend i didnt see that

2:15 am

how would an e or an r help in a grid with words that do no use an e or an r?

2:15 am

j.c... all it would take is a small tap in the right place

2:16 am

well in thw right place you could make shone hone honer

2:41 am

hmmm..i just cant get used to cooking dinner before 9am..

2:42 am

like to get an early start rolin?

2:42 am

very early?

2:42 am

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

2:43 am

good idea then

2:43 am

he doesnt get home til nearly 7pm..too late to start cooking..

2:44 am

ive still not got into the urban way of eating dinner at 8.30

2:44 am

we eat later the more it stays light

2:44 am

you can take the girl of of the country but.....

2:45 am

we eat longer the more it stays light..lol

2:45 am

lose track of the time

2:45 am

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

2:45 am

are you on daylight savings yet?

2:46 am

no west...lose track of self restraint..lol

2:46 am

yup...from last weekend..so much beeter in the mornings now..

2:47 am

Self-restraint? What fun is that? Being put in restraints by someone else is a lot more fun! ;)

2:47 am

nice time to pop on

2:47 am

good morning everyone

2:47 am

lol...j.c... my partner once mailed me fluffy hand cuffs..

2:47 am

hi jacq

2:48 am

Ooh, handcuffs are good! ;)

2:48 am

LOL J.C.

2:48 am

hi jacq

2:48 am

hey jacq

2:48 am

nice point to make JC and hello

2:48 am

HAHAHA, hello jacq . . .

2:48 am

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..

2:49 am

LOL

2:49 am

J.C. if you don't behave you'll have more than restraints to contend with!

2:49 am

Green? Or do you mean red? :P

2:49 am

parents aren't supposed to do the bump n grind

2:49 am

nah...definitely green...

2:49 am

Behave, Frances? But I'm always, constantly behaving! It's merely a question of HOW! ;)

2:50 am

Ahhh . . . with envy, rolin? ;)

2:50 am

lol

2:50 am

Badly J.C.

2:50 am

jacq...my kids learned the phrase...too much information...very young in life...

2:50 am

Hmmm . . . then why am I always being told how 'good' I am, Frances? ;)

2:50 am

badly is surely in the eye of the beholder

2:50 am

Lol jaq!

2:51 am

So have my nieces and nephews - from visiting with me! :P

2:51 am

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

2:51 am

and besides, behaving badly can have soooo many good consequences

2:51 am

lmao....J.C.... theres so many answers to that...but this has always been held as a 'family' site...

2:51 am

precisely jacq...

2:52 am

Oh yes jaq.

2:52 am

Answers? I haven't asked any questions! :P

2:53 am

i love being a total brat

2:53 am

......and you don't have to stop as you get older.

2:53 am

I'm always a brat . . .

2:53 am

Part of the brat pack J.C?

2:53 am

i intend to stop nothing as i get older, i will be the resident from hell in the care home

2:54 am

Not quite, Frances . . .

2:54 am

....or should I say a member of.

2:54 am

Not the leader of! ;)

2:54 am

lol

2:54 am

Kettle . . . be right back.

2:54 am

and me jacq... 'i shall wear purple'...

2:55 am

laughs

2:55 am

Me too please J.C.

2:55 am

i can only imagine the impression my tattoos will make when some 19 yr old is bathing me and wiping my bum for me

2:55 am

hmmm..tea..

2:55 am

laughs hard

2:55 am

i was going to ask if that was your back ...jacq

2:56 am

yes it is, when the boss gave me my membership it was on the condition that i have this pic up, god knows why

2:57 am

pride?

2:57 am

pride isn't something i suffer from

2:57 am

no..i meant 'the boss'

2:57 am

ahhhh... maybe, but still don't get it

2:58 am

but he is the boss

2:58 am

3:05 am

4:02 am

4:02 am

HAHA . . .

4:02 am

Or 'fitchpork'? :P

How did you do that?

4:03 am

well done jc, and hello everyone

4:03 am

I won't tell you what our daughter called a firetruck

4:03 am

We have a place here called Dunmow and every year tjhey have a competion. The prize is a Dunmow Flitch.......a side of bacon.

4:03 am

:(

4:03 am

That's terrible, Frances! :(

4:03 am

Hi sandy.

4:03 am

hi sandy is it 6:00 already?

4:03 am

Ooh, Sandy's back - and thank you, Sandy! :)

4:03 am

I know J.C.

4:04 am

HAHAHA, westford - I can imagine what she called it!

4:04 am

LOL wets.

4:04 am

with that I'll say good morrow

4:04 am

Oops sorry - west.

4:04 am

Half of what she called it is probably one of my favourite words! ;)

4:04 am

Bye west.

4:04 am

OK then - good night and sweet dreams to you, westford! :)

4:05 am

Trier J.C?

4:05 am

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

4:05 am

Oh no, Sandy! :(

4:05 am

Oh god - have you got some gel ice packs there?

4:05 am

Poor you sandy. Hope you are sitting down.

Sandy you goose

4:06 am

Erm no, Frances - it was the other half of that! :P

4:06 am

Sandy - do you also have any Ibuprofen?

4:06 am

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.

4:07 am

If so, take some - should help with any swelling and relieve some of the pain.

4:07 am

Hmmm - or is that a glass of whine? ;)

4:07 am

Nobody likes pain, Sandy . . .

4:07 am

dont need meds JC, and I am gradually getting better( after much crying and suffering)

4:07 am

Awww . . .

4:07 am

Wish I could help! :(

4:08 am

Have scratched arm and lump on head and leg -Poooooor me

4:08 am

Yes, poor you!!! :(

4:09 am

Did you get my e-mail with the photo I sent you, Sandy?

4:09 am

If not, check for it - it should help you feel better! :P

4:09 am

You'll see me, hours after I had a very clumsy accident!

4:10 am

Nicky is loving being sympathetic to me, she is such a drama queen

one glass?

one glass?

4:10 am

yes i did JC. lovely pajamas you have on- very understated

4:11 am

One large glass of whine Herin

mmmmm i really should go to bed

4:11 am

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

4:11 am

seems very early for you herin

4:11 am

Dandini on wheels . . .

4:12 am

what a trooper!

Sandy it is but i got up at 530am

Sandy it is but i got up at 530am

4:12 am

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

4:12 am

Erm, I was silly more like . . .

4:13 am

HAHAHA, yes herin - but in this case, it was a foot! :P

4:13 am

I wasn't brave enough to break a leg!

4:13 am

Herin, you are young and resilient you dont need much sleep

Sandy I do when i am dealling with idiots in class

4:13 am

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

4:14 am

hmmm, maybe Nicky isn't the only drama queen around! lol

4:14 am

HAHAHA, well no Sandy - I particpate in drama (on the stage) and I'm more of a 'queen' than she'll ever be! ;)

4:15 am

*Flips limp wrist!*

4:15 am

hee hee

4:15 am

Well, time I got off here and got busy . . .

4:16 am

I have 39 left, are these mostly usual words or are they strange words?

4:17 am

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...

4:19 am

a sa** pudding

4:19 am

whoops , the fall has made me confused

4:19 am

No, it's a strange one, Matty . . .

4:20 am

rhymes with ho4/7

I have that one, Sandy

4:20 am

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

4:20 am

Which one do you need then, because that one was the first?

4:20 am

There isn't one before that . . .

No, there's an sh4/6 before the piggy 4/7....?

4:21 am

Oh - I'm confused.

4:21 am

You need the first sh4,6 - the very first 'sh' word?

4:21 am

Yes . . .

4:21 am

OK . . .

Yep - that's the one - after that, I have the 4/7 that rhymes with the pig

4:21 am

sh + 2 letters, rhyming with 'toe'

4:22 am

Short nickname for a Maurice or Morris.

4:22 am

Or Maureen . . .

Thank you JC!

Thank you thank you!

4:22 am

Although I'd never call anyone that! :P

4:22 am

You are very welcome, Matty! :)

4:23 am

Ooh, I'm from 'Londonish' too - originally! ;)

4:23 am

Various parts of it . . .

4:23 am

Over the years . . .

4:24 am

How are you making out, Frances?

4:25 am

Two left J.C.

4:25 am

Ooh, good - you'll have your wire forks soon! ;)

4:27 am

Sparkley things for me.

Fireworks - yay

4:27 am

ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ → W I R E F O R K S ← ψ Ψ ψ Ψ ψ - For Frances!!! :)

4:27 am

wtg frances

4:27 am

wtg matty

4:27 am

good job frances

4:28 am

You have fireworks too, Matty? :)

4:28 am

Thank ye thank ye thank ye....doffs cap.

4:29 am

HAHAHA - and I curtsey, Frances! Very gracefully, I might add! ;)

I do indeed - thanks JC!

I love your wire forks, JC

4:29 am

I can just see you doing that too J.C.

4:29 am

Ooh, congrats Matty - and you're most welcome! :)

4:29 am

Of course, Frances - you probably have?

4:29 am

Aren't they wonderful matty.

4:30 am

Well done matty.

Oooh - you're from Teddington JC!

4:30 am

Yes J.C.

4:30 am

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)

4:30 am

Yes, Matty . . .

4:30 am

Oh, OK - I was born there and lived there as a wee lad.

4:31 am

Until we moved . . .

4:31 am

Now I'm just a 'farmer', out in the bogs! :P

My daughter went to Teddington School

4:32 am

Oh yes?

Yep. Did ok there - she starts uni though in September - she's at Richmond College now

4:33 am

I see. What's she studying?

She's doing the International Baccalaurate now, and plans to study Biomedical science

4:35 am

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

4:36 am

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

4:38 am

Hmmm . . .

4:38 am

tell her to study and then she can support him

4:38 am

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

4:38 am

Yes, Sandy!

He does make money out of - plays for Sophie Ellis Bexter, amongst others

4:38 am

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

4:39 am

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.

4:39 am

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

4:40 am

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)

4:41 am

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

4:41 am

Oh really, Matty? Interesting . . .

Oh yeah....

4:41 am

Erm - make that 'it', not 'if'. :P

4:42 am

My typing isn't always the most accurate!

Yep - each generation thinks they are the only generation that understand everything

or indeed, anything

4:42 am

Naturally . . . and that will never change.

4:42 am

whatever , she must make the most of her education

4:43 am

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

4:45 am

Oh, well better later than never, Matty - good for you! :)

4:48 am

yes, I am sure that you have a great sense of satisfaction in the doing of that degree matthy

4:48 am

I like your snow photos, Matty . . .

4:50 am

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

4:56 am

7:22 am

and, for nbt before I head to work, the bottom corner N?

7:23 am

not there yet, sorry

7:23 am

do you go alphabetically, or geographically in the grid? As you can tell, I"m a piecemeal kind

7:28 am

I try to go geographically and get to at least halfway on each tile in my first past

7:28 am

gotcha

7:28 am

i'm always curious as to how others do it

7:28 am

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

7:29 am

any clues for some of the longer words

7:29 am

conman

7:30 am

there's a 7 that ends with that, but starts with where you buy stuff, ollics

7:31 am

the N corner has negative and mocking syllable and it's plural

7:31 am

ta jbp

7:31 am

and with that, I'm off cubicle land

7:31 am

have a good day all

Does anyone know what jbp meant by mocking syllable?

7:33 am

also the chemical symbol for sodium

7:33 am

no

7:34 am

for the 7?

yes

7:35 am

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?

7:37 am

how many words today?

86

7:38 am

Hi Harp

The most interesting thing in our area has been the abundance of pine siskins at our feeders

8:55 am

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

8:55 am

they are magnificent! Lucky you, Aloy. My friend has a large wooded area behind her home. They saw a pileated woodpecker last week.

8:57 am

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?

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!

1:52 pm

omg

1:52 pm

Not good babRab

1:52 pm

his problem in suing is that it is a 5 cent machine and the most it can realistically pay out is $9,9995.00

2:51 pm

it was soooo great

2:52 pm

Whoa, that is so neat! My high school had none of that, lol.

2:52 pm

Was the course to teach students about the world or was it more sort of farming oriented?

2:53 pm

farm and small animals

2:53 pm

That is very cool, Sue. Must have been very fun!

2:55 pm

it was great.

2:55 pm

2:58 pm

*Feeling dumb now that I have listed, 28 left*

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

Forgive me Ata, for I am weak. I always list at some point.

2:59 pm

your mother should disown you!

3:00 pm

sh7= a male store clerk

3:00 pm

Mother? What mother? I was raised by wolves..

3:00 pm

Are you suggesting that anyone who uses the list is a wi4/10?

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

3:01 pm

In a shed without food, at that.

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

howdy ata:) didnt see you sneak in;)

3:01 pm

17 left... I still flog myself daily, lest I attempt to rise above my position.

3:02 pm

I should think so. You should have one of those thigh things that the Opus Dei have

3:02 pm

hi crossy!

3:04 pm

Painful image : (

3:04 pm

the first sh4/6 is kicking my butt

3:04 pm

how's the KoG?

3:05 pm

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.

3:06 pm

Hobbit and Sily?

3:07 pm

awwwww. Sily is right here too, ever-present in her basket. Hobbit is being grumpy

3:07 pm

Grumpy? But she is of such a lovely disposition (pretend there is an exclamation point here)

3:07 pm

sue - it's a slang word for a dumb guy

3:07 pm

3 cons + vowel

3:08 pm

Oy, three left. Thanks asgreen...I feel like a sh** now.

3:08 pm

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

3:08 pm

except Sily#s not remotely interested in it lol

3:08 pm

always yiddish when I cant find it

3:08 pm

yw... 9 left for me

3:08 pm

lol uni

3:08 pm

4 left

3:09 pm

Sily IS a cat. Well, that means little. Em eats everything. Maybe Emma needs a basket, but I prefer her to cuddle me :)

3:09 pm

im5, na4, no7 & sa6

3:09 pm

Hurrah! Le fin!

3:10 pm

im5 is very similar to a picture, with an altered final vowel.

3:10 pm

Sily eats nothing *facepalm* she's the pickiest thing EVER

3:10 pm

no7 - is it a compound?

3:10 pm

sa6 builds off the four, with an indefinite article at the end.

3:11 pm

no7 is a nine sided figure, building off the preceding four.

3:11 pm

and she looooves her basket. It's right under my spotlights so she's wonderfully warm, and she's right next to me

3:11 pm

you've finished? YAY!!!

3:11 pm

tx uni! 2 to go

3:12 pm

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!

3:12 pm

Keep going, as! Let me know what else needs a clue..

3:12 pm

she does :):) she loooooooooves feathers

3:12 pm

... uno

3:12 pm

I sacrificed a big bit of my desk for her :)

3:12 pm

it's a 4/4! lol

3:13 pm

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 :)

3:13 pm

fireworks fo rme!

3:13 pm

ok, gotta run, got kids to pay attention to now! lol - bye!

3:13 pm

Congrats As!! **impressive fire baton display of glory**

3:14 pm

Your desk is lovely :) Mine is mostly clear because Em loves to sleep on it. And everywhere.

3:14 pm

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 :)

3:15 pm

see? it's the same! sily just has a basket to sleep in

3:15 pm

2nd na4/4 please

3:15 pm

I feel like I have tried everything

3:15 pm

same as the other one, sue, just change last letter to consonant.

3:17 pm

sorry, I am missing the ga6

3:17 pm

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 :)

3:17 pm

ga5

3:17 pm

lol! I have about 6 proper friends here and over there. I'd rather them than 27 kind of friends!

3:18 pm

4:45 pm

hi, ewaugh, just saw your profile, hello from a long ago SPanish major - what are you studying these days?

4:45 pm

I must take a quick break with 33 to go ... and fix papa some dindin : )

4:45 pm

BBl friends

4:45 pm

bye MaMa good luck later

4:47 pm

oh sorry jbv i was away for a minute..!

4:47 pm

the class i'm taking this quarter is latin american poetry : )

4:49 pm

what did you end up doing with your major jbv?

4:49 pm

how many courses in the major?

4:50 pm

how many required, offered, i've taken..? haha

4:50 pm

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

4:51 pm

mind if I ask if you are a heritage speaker (spanish language background?)

4:51 pm

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.

4:52 pm

i don't mind at all, and no i'm not. lol

4:52 pm

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

4:52 pm

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

4:53 pm

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

4:54 pm

well the Spanish-speaking population is growing so the need will only be greater - good luck with your courses

4:54 pm

thank you, i've still got many to go.. ll

4:54 pm

*lol

Hi there, Mom.

I guess I had better go dry the dishes. See everyone soon. {{Hugs}}

6:01 pm

Yep, know how to eat them.

6:02 pm

cause when I was in florida I would get ga peaches in the supermarket and they were always mealy and never sweet

6:02 pm

know how to eat them? why is there a certain way to eat them?

6:02 pm

Didn't mean that to be a smarty....the best ones are called 'cling free'. Very sweet.

6:04 pm

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

6:07 pm

Yes, you were eating them correctly.

hi al...MOM!

6:13 pm

Hi there, 72

6:13 pm
