3:27 am

hi everyone

3:29 am

Good morning everyone.

3:29 am

Good morning elder, good evening Andree.

3:29 am

hi all!

3:30 am

Hello Haz :)

3:30 am

Hallo Ata :)

3:30 am

hi elder, haz and ata

3:30 am

Good morning Ata, unusual to see you at this time!

3:30 am

well .... it seemed safe :)

3:30 am

It's quiet in here this morning.

3:31 am

Safe ?.

3:31 am

nice people here :)

3:32 am

I expect nothing less.

3:32 am

yes we are nice people here

3:33 am

how's la glitterata, haz?

3:33 am

Nice people and loads of animals in the puzzle.

3:34 am

Morning/evening all Just waiting for the kettle to boil. Nice grid so far.

3:34 am

She is her usual self. She's hovering between being awake and asleep.

3:34 am

And a sighting of the rare FM creature as well!

3:34 am

Good morning FMitch, first cup of the day?

3:35 am

LOL morning :))

3:35 am

Hello FMitch :)

3:35 am

Oh no, been up a while and already done some work. Back in a tick.

3:35 am

FM!!!!

3:35 am

Hobbit is busy Arranging the Paws

3:36 am

elder, did you know that FM has men congregated at her window these days?

3:36 am

oh Haz, Haz, Haz, you didn't hear about the amusement yesterday. Hobbit found a live crab.

3:36 am

Arranging The Paws is serious stuff.

3:36 am

that must have made for some fun ata

3:37 am

And did the crab live or die? And did Hobbit get nipped?

3:37 am

http://tinyurl.com/d646wm <- Hobbit versus the crab

3:37 am

it was sooooo funny

3:37 am

the crab definitely won

3:37 am

and yes, hobbit got nipped. very gently, luckily

3:38 am

Haz, OH, does she now . I hope this activity is not on show for the neighbours to observe. We do not need scandals here.

3:38 am

So, the moral of the story is, never tangle with carniverous crustaceans.

3:38 am

She's the talk of the neighbourhood, elder. It's quite worrying.

3:38 am

Ata, amusing to watch.

3:38 am

I think she knows that now. But it was *so* funny.

3:39 am

Did Hobbit not give you reproachful looks for laughing? Nothing says reproach like a spaniel in full 'pity me' mode.

3:40 am

I turn my back for a moment and Haz starts the rumour mills rolling along I see! LOL re Hobbit.

3:40 am

oh yes. afterwards. and she rolled on a thornback ray in retribution

3:40 am

Worrying, That sort of behaviour brings the neighbour down. Before you know houses are being sold, cameras and reporters are in abundance.

3:41 am

hi fm, no reputation left, lol

3:41 am

and the realised that thornback rays are well named

3:41 am

FM, I'm known for my ability to st4/4. I have to keep up appearances.

3:41 am

Good point Andree ;)

3:43 am

FMitc, you still have time to turn this worrying situation around. If not, the least you could do is invite us round.

3:43 am

good for you fm, i don't know how old you are but we should all endevour to grow old disgracefully

3:44 am

I don't know if this is the sort of advice FM needs to hear.

3:44 am

lol.. no encouragement required.

3:44 am

I am a tiny bit younger than Haz but not by much *sticks tongue out in general direction of N.Ireland*

3:44 am

I was hoping for words of admonition, guidance, 'pull yourself together, woman' , that sort of thing.

3:45 am

Would she listen ?

3:45 am

Well, she's getting so deaf these days.....

3:45 am

No!

3:45 am

* Giggles *

3:45 am

lol..

3:45 am

pooooor FM

3:46 am

does that mean we can gossip about her in peace?

3:46 am

She's just incorri, incorig, incorriga - she won't listen to anyone.

3:46 am

We could gossip about her if she'd take her glasses off.

3:46 am

We can always rely on Haz for her ca6/24.

3:46 am

at least she doesn't lose them

3:47 am

Ha ha ha ha

3:47 am

No, leave that sort of thing to me. Le sigh of enormous proportions.

3:47 am

.....:)

3:47 am

did they ever appear>

3:48 am

No, they are on the Police Missing list. A complete mystery as to where they have gone.

3:48 am

how odd. definitely blame spangle

3:49 am

Might be worth a body search of the men hanging around .

3:49 am

It's more likely to have been the husband - he's a demon for throwing things out.

3:49 am

Perhaps you should investigate the bump under the new wallpaper ....

3:50 am

if haz starts body searching the men she will get a reputation worse than fm's

3:50 am

Daughter no 2 left a pair of shoes sitting on the bench in the utility room, intending to come back to clean them. They were nearly thrown out by you know who.

3:50 am

especially while stripping

3:50 am

I know! I should get husband to bring home the scanner he uses for PDing cattle. That would show them up but wait, do glasses have a heartbeat?

3:51 am

Unusual for a chap to tidy up and even think of throwing things out.

3:51 am

you need luminol .. oh wait ... hmm

3:51 am

He's terribly tidy. It's an affliction I bear with gritted teeth.

3:52 am

If I only had a magic CSI torch all would be revealed.

3:52 am

A CSI torch, preferably with one of the nice CSI men on the other end. They're trained, you know.

3:52 am

or a sonic screwdriver

3:52 am

I thought there was one in your 'Junior Miss CSI kit' you got for Christmas?

3:53 am

That sounds like a drink that would do well in a sordid nightclub!

3:53 am

They didn't put one in, FM. They claimed that Health and Safety wouldn't permit it.

3:54 am

I was left with some fingerprint tape and a magnifying glass. What use is that?

3:54 am

depends if you want to burn ants or not

3:55 am

well seeing as you had lost your glasses I would have thought the magnifying glass would have been very useful!

3:55 am

:)

3:55 am

I suppose so, but it's not nearly as glamorous as a magic CSI torch.

3:56 am

back later

3:56 am

And another thing. Why are rooms so dimly lit in America?

3:56 am

See you later, Andree.

3:56 am

Bye Andree

3:57 am

Bye for now Andree.

3:57 am

Hello herin.

3:57 am

Hey herin

3:57 am

hi herin

how goes it? Ata you have to check FB in five min

3:57 am

Hello Herin.

3:58 am

lol ok

3:58 am

Everyone races to look over Ata's shoulder.

3:59 am

*stop pushing Haz*

3:59 am

Yes, calm down, FM. You know what we learned about queuing the other day. Let the older woman go first.

4:00 am

and the one who loses her glasses

4:00 am

After you then Haz dear :)

Waves

ok i have posted it

4:00 am

Quit jostling in the back.

4:01 am

very true, herin

4:01 am

You can hardly hear the chat with all this pushing and shoving going on.

4:02 am

now you're all confused, arent you??!

4:02 am

It's all Haz's fault elder! I blame her for the fact I haven't found a single word since I started chatting.

4:02 am

We've never been confused. We leave that to others.

Ok i said the people i would like to punch in the face are: Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, Brittany spears and whiney ass sorry sack emos

4:03 am

just slightly bewildered on occasions

4:03 am

lol.

4:03 am

Yes, but we cover it up beautifully. Smiling and looking bright covers a multitude of sins.

Oh i have the funniest tale to tell. This am the kitty decided that the B.f should be rudely awoken by being jumped on, in the one place men do not want

4:04 am

FMitch, you have to take some self responsibility.

4:04 am

lol poor b.f

4:05 am

Lucius or Pandora?

4:05 am

We've been saying this for years, elder. A babbler can babble through thick and thin, no distraction too great to put off the search for words.

Lucius if it was Pandora he would be still in the ER

4:06 am

lmao. I wondered that

4:06 am

The exception being the trolls. Although, they do not seem to be arriving nowadays.

4:07 am

Just wait until the summer holidays elder!

Seriously she knows better

4:07 am

I know. It's great, isn't it?

4:07 am

they'll all turn up now you've mentioned them!

4:08 am

So, we're not to mention anything undesirable.

4:08 am

We will beat them down.Bless them.

4:08 am

Grids of 20 words are not to be spoken about.

4:09 am

I ws hoping for a slightly larger grid today *sigh*

Why do we have small grids i cant procrastinate

4:09 am

grids of 20 words arent allowed

4:09 am

Maybe we should have a choice every day of a small, medium or large grid. That way the chat log would be really interesting.

4:10 am

anyone want tea??

4:10 am

No tea for me, thanks.

mmm tea

4:10 am

No thanks Ata, just finishing off my coffe and then I have to get on with the day as it is already gone 10am!

I am eating pizza and drinking Cougar burbon

4:11 am

Ata, that would be nice, Strong with no sugar please.

4:11 am

And she has all those men to think about. Do they come to your window on a Saturday as well?

4:12 am

herin that's some combination.

I wish Fmitch would put clothes on

4:13 am

No thank goodness!

4:13 am

That's good, peace at the weekend for all.

4:14 am

Right I shall away and get myself organised. HAve a good day/evening and see you anon.

I had an afternoon of shopping followed by supermarket trip from hell. I swear 2 bratty kids of separate parents followed me around and screamed constantly. Thus my headache turned into the start of a migraine. Thank goodness I got Panadol into me when i got home.

4:14 am

See you later, FM.

4:14 am

Bye for now FMitch.

4:15 am

herin, how horrid.

oh yes. Later Fmitch

4:23 am

*gives out tea*

4:23 am

Ata, thank you.

4:26 am

my poor pup. she's desperate for a walk and husband is delaying things by shaving, and very slowly at that

love the photo of the kitty ata

4:26 am

:)

Ata is the POD going to become bacon?

4:27 am

Biting at the bit to go out.

4:27 am

noooooooooo

4:27 am

she's a pet

opps sorry

4:28 am

Just realised that I should have been talking about my CSI to5/14

Later Ender?

4:28 am

she'd make good bacon though!

4:28 am

lol very true, haz

4:28 am

Easily missed Haz.

4:29 am

So glad nobody seemed to notice.

The reason I ask Ata is my Aunt had a pet pig named Porky that became yummy bacon

4:29 am

how did we all miss that? I even had the word

4:30 am

Alcohol, is there also and plural. Not my taste though.

4:30 am

the POD and the POmD are part of an open farm - they have the pigs, chickens, geese, goats, rheas, llamas and stuff

4:30 am

So had I.

4:30 am

I know. It must have been anxiety about FM's behaviour that clouded our judgement.

4:30 am

blame FM, good plan

4:30 am

How can you not worry.

hehehe blame FM

4:31 am

I think so. The world feels more normal when you can blame FM.

4:31 am

absolument

4:32 am

My favourite word of the day is one of the 7s. It conjures up an image of a spoiled brat taking part in a castlebuilding competition at the beach and not knowing the concept of sharing.

4:32 am

Or a coastal porcine?

4:33 am

what a word!

4:33 am

Haz have just got that ..

4:33 am

strange word..

4:33 am

Isn't it?

4:33 am

american. typical!

ok i need to find that word now. Great clues

4:34 am

I know. Strange words and dimly lit rooms.

4:34 am

can't do American, the vowels lack of, always throw me.

may have what it starts with please?

4:35 am

Maybe Fmitch, could do with the dimly lit rooms.

4:35 am

sa7/44

4:35 am

I know. And they always complain about our spellings. (Sniff for dramatic emphasis)

4:35 am

sa7

thank you

thank yuo

4:37 am

are there really 7 J words in here?

4:37 am

Nearly done, but taking a break. Good to see you all. Take care.

4:37 am

Yes, and they're all 4 letters except for one plural.

4:37 am

Take care, elder.

Ok that is an american word no wonder its not real :D

4:37 am

bye elder

later Elder

4:38 am

I also missed the named J/4.

4:38 am

bye .

4:38 am

Ata, one of the j words should bring Jo4 Prescott to mind.

4:39 am

ewwww! no thank you!

4:39 am

He's another one who looks as though he's taken a few punches in his time.

4:39 am

Jo4 prescott and his 2 ja4

4:39 am

Exactly! Who'd have thought Prescott could be used to clue 2 words at once?

dont you love when kittens fold them selves in two to sleep

4:40 am

how unpleasant!

4:40 am

Let's just be glad he didn't adopt Gandhi's style of dress.

4:41 am

gosh yes

ok i am going to go find mind bleach now

4:44 am

And time for me to get ready for the inevitable Saturday shopping expedition. See you later!

4:44 am

good luck!

enjoy

4:44 am

Bye!

4:45 am

I should be doing something productive. Instead I'm making cool Rorschach fan art stuff

I should be studying and my kitty ate my pizza :(

4:47 am

Yess one eats spicy corn chips

4:56 am

5:33 am

sweet

5:33 am

we had to memorize a poem in 7th grade about daffodils

5:34 am

knew it for the longest time, and now the only part I remember is clouds of golden daffodils

5:34 am

wait - host of golden daffodils

5:34 am

i wandered lonely as a cloud... it is coming back!

5:35 am

googled - wordsworth - that was a long time ago

5:37 am

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er dale and hill When all at once I saw A crowd of ramblers o'er the rill With multi-coloured anoraks And bulging rucksacks on their backs

5:37 am

LOL - that wasn't QUITE it ata

5:37 am

:P

5:38 am

I love that version though, it was written by one of my favourite columnists / authors, and it's SO true

5:38 am

yep

5:40 am

need coffee...but have none... i guess i will have to go make a run

5:40 am

awww

5:40 am

notliterally of course... more like a car run : )

5:41 am

so i should think!

5:41 am

and oranges, need oranges too... may just do grocery shopping early before everyone else gets up

5:42 am

*definitely* the best idea

5:42 am

ok - bbl - ty for the loverly po-em

5:42 am

byeee

5:47 am

good morning everyone

5:48 am

morning eva

5:48 am

brb

5:50 am

does anyone have a clue for the co7?

5:51 am

got it. Somehow asking always opens the mind

5:53 am

well done!

5:53 am

and I just got it too, ty!

5:54 am

how is the gorgeous merrrrrrp?

6:09 am

*a drowsy-eyed hursh starts the grid*

6:10 am

Good day to all. I have to leave for hospital rounds soon but I want to greet my buddies and find some words.

6:10 am

hi hurshy! bye hurshy! I need a nap before running around the beach all afternoon

6:10 am

hi scrabs! bye scrabs!

6:10 am

Hurshy, I haven't seen you in a while. Are you doing OK?

6:10 am

aw, bye ata

6:10 am

i'm doing ok - just often doing the grids without chatting.

6:11 am

Have fun at the beach later, Ata, and please do more videos.

6:12 am

Sometimes I do that too, Hurshy.

6:12 am

hi all, no 'codgas' to propel the little fish along for me! Time for lickety! even on this easy looking grid :(

6:12 am

Hi Dino

6:12 am

name that proper noun! "you've got to pick a pocket or two..."

6:13 am

Fagin? Fagan?

6:13 am

fagan, ding ding ding! if it's fagin, i have oopsted.

6:15 am

Oliver Twist was the musical we did for 6th grade--very big deal at the elementary school. I was in the chorus where my total lack of musical talent could be hidden.

6:15 am

i have had that experience with musical/dance activities, sc

6:16 am

name that proper noun! delicious corn chip

6:16 am

I have zero musical ability except listening. I have tried and failed at learning several instruments, and I cannot keep a tune.

6:16 am

I am the Frito Bandito!

6:17 am

ah... i'm not that bad - but when doing a choreographed dance number in 8th grade, i had to keep counting the beat to stay on track.

6:17 am

ding ding ding!

6:18 am

Well, I am that bad--watching me dance is dangerous to one's health.

6:18 am

i was told i had to stop moving my lips as i counted or i couldn't be in the number.

6:18 am

Haha, poor Hursh.

6:19 am

which, if you think about it, seems like not the best stance for an 8th grade gym teacher to take. it's not broadway...

6:20 am

name that proper noun! cuban dictator

6:20 am

My friend and I did a hip-hop song for our tennis group (Tomfoolery Tennis Club) in January and I could not keep the beat either with my body or the words. It added to the laughing. We wrote the song about each member.

6:21 am

No but the teacher-directors think it IS Broadway.

6:21 am

it is good when people remember that having fun is important.

6:22 am

Our club is all about fun, on and off of the tennis court. It is a great group of ladies and we have events/parties every few months. 9 of us will be together in the Adirondack Mtns in July for 5 days.

6:23 am

ah, so that's the group of friends you often mention doing things with?

6:23 am

Yikes, I have to get going--must finish at hospital and then be at office by 9.

6:24 am

Yes, it is a special group of ladies.

6:24 am

Bye Hurshy. Enjoy the day.

6:24 am

have fun!

6:28 am

name those proper nouns! writer carl, muslim mystic, cuban dictator

6:30 am

hurshy I got castro. Is this a different game you play on the grid? :)

6:31 am

yes, it is one of my auxiliary babble games. and you get a

6:31 am

ding ding ding!

6:32 am

the game is intended to get the proper nouns out of one's system, since one cannot do it by entering them in the other box.

6:33 am

lol! I type stuff like that dozens of times, as if it will eventually accept it!

6:34 am

well, now you have an alternative. just come over here and say "name that proper noun!" followed by clue, and give a ding ding ding! to whoever gets it.

6:36 am

I'll play with that. Didnt get the others though, yet. ;)

6:36 am

course it's more fun when there's a bunch of people about to play. :)

6:37 am

oh, well, it's ok if nobody gets them. however i can tell you the answers if so desired.

6:38 am

let me try for a bit first

6:39 am

the second row is proving slightly more recalcitrant than the first in this grid. one S and no E makes jack a dull grid.

6:45 am

good morning;) dont know how long ill be on as we have our first big thunder storm cracking over our heads;)..crossy loves thunder storms;)

6:46 am

pure love, or love/fear?

6:46 am

ho cross

6:46 am

love..i like the elementalizm of it

6:46 am

hi cross

6:47 am

hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go

6:48 am

gah! thought i had my last j with "jitsu" but noooo

6:48 am

lol! which of the dwarfs do you think i am hurshy?

6:49 am

well, you've taken "name that proper noun!" more seriously than i've seen anyone take it, and your name lends itself too... so i'll say doc!

6:52 am

thawt u gonna say dopey there for a moment! I do where glasses, but def not the intellectual one!

6:53 am

lol

6:54 am

there is actually a facebook quiz you can take to determine which dwarf you are most like. i am sleepy.

6:55 am

hmmm. better not take that, just in case.

sufi and sagan

6:55 am

ding ding ding ding ding ding!

morning, hurshy! morning, dinok!

6:55 am

morning fuq

6:56 am

morning fuq!

good grief, 7 J's. thought i was smart when I got three

6:59 am

i have 6 if you want any clueses

ok, up to 6 now. maybe we should compare notes. have ja4 x2, jo4 x3, jo5

7:01 am

moi aussi

7:01 am

just took the 3 dogs into the backyard for their early morning pee -- all 3 were sniffing at a curled up fat dead garter snake -- took them inside and went back out with a stick to toss the snake into the woods and . . . it was GONE -- ack ack ack!

drat

7:01 am

so it was not dead?!?!?!

7:02 am

nooooo

maybe an owl came and got it

7:02 am

just a garte snake but still . . .

7:02 am

i guess made sense to play dead when so outnumbered.

7:02 am

*garter

7:02 am

fuquay! LOL

7:03 am

we had some sort of puffing one near our house, i was always afraid our dog would not know to leave it alone and i didn't know if it was poisonous

if snakes bother you, better to assume something ate it, right?

7:04 am

it was just a garter snake but snakes do creep me out

7:04 am

i stayed faaaaar away myself.

7:04 am

puffing? yikes, hursh!

7:04 am

hey in London the snakes are all human form, and much worse for it ;)

7:04 am

dinok LOL!

my cat keeps finding these tiny little snakes somewhere in the basement and depositing them on the living room rug. Fortunately, usually dead.

7:05 am

once coming back from walk with mom and someone else (grandma?), saw it in road ahead and said, "what's that?" mom said "it's just a stick", then i said, "then why is it moving??!!"

7:05 am

jeez

7:06 am

oh fuq - i would have to move, if i were you.

the really little ones are kinda cute, but it's interesting that we have such an automatic visceral response to them

7:06 am

fuquay, my friend Claudia is alway less than thrilled to find headless creatures in her house that the cats have brought in . . . dreads finding the HEADS

7:06 am

lol une, sndz like a stephen king plot!

7:07 am

:-D

I admit to finding it a little weird that my indoor cat is able to find snakes to give us

7:07 am

a few years ago i rode past a really little one on a bike path - it REARED UP at me - not cute not cute

7:07 am

hursh!!

7:07 am

jeezomeez!

do you have many poisonous snakes where you live, hursh?

7:08 am

i don't know, i hope not. i don't think there are more than one or two that currently live anywhere in new england.

7:09 am

i may have to move if global warming brings more to the area, poisonous or not.

7:09 am

north north north, where it's too cold for BCs

7:10 am

canadians are welcoming, right?

7:10 am

four-legged snake hunters whining for breakfast . . . BRB

oh, right, you're a wannabe brit, not an actual brit

7:11 am

indeed. :) the revolution may be an accomplished fact, but that doesn't stop me from being a loyalist - it just makes it less dangerous.

where are you, actually, hursh?

7:13 am

connecticut

Ah, OK. Hubby tells me that you do have copperheads in CT, and extremely rare rattlesnakes.

7:14 am

and i am also in totallystuck land with 8 to go

And they can be quite nasty even when small, so you are right to stay away from them.

37 to go here

7:15 am

have you got either of the 7's? i don't.

have the bottom i?

no 7's here either

7:16 am

scratch it

7:16 am

Hi all.. just opened chat to see snake talk.. last week, I picked up my computer case in the den .. guess what was under it.. my screech could be heard for miles.. (-:

7:17 am

7:18 am

aloy, are you in the part of Florida where the python population is growing??

7:18 am

we had cool nights.. and snakes like warmth.. ok, end of snake talk.. goosebumps

7:18 am

i would never ever ever go to florida. unless i stayed strictly in the confines of disney properties.

7:20 am

had to pour a co6.30 to calm my nerves, lol

7:20 am

7:25 am

thanx Aloy!!

7:26 am

wow, didn't know that originated in England

7:26 am

not an a, does that mean you can clue my 2 missing second row A's?

7:26 am

i don't know where it originated, i just read it in british books.

7:26 am

morning welki

8:34 am

hi welki

8:35 am

kje, that is great! It seems to start out of nowhere and you can't predict which people are going to join in :D Thanks for sharing.

8:37 am

kje, any idea who did that remixed version of the song?

8:37 am

it is a fun video

8:38 am

no idea MM

8:38 am

pity, 'cos i would have liked to download it

8:39 am

I just forwarded the link to someone who can use a smile too :) It is a happy vid.

8:39 am

thanks, kje!!

8:40 am

funny that so many people just looked bewildered instead of amazed *lol*

8:41 am

yes, like it was 'not done' or something like that. But others were delighted! Did you see that elderly lady that looked as if a dream had come true? Lovely.

8:45 am

Movieman, on usenet I see: "dayton - the sound of music - extended remix.mp3"

8:45 am

yes, i zoomed right in on her (and on the young woman with the cell phone camera who pushed someone out of the way ... both sides of human nature)

8:46 am

argh yes, too true. Hail for the elderly lady!

8:47 am

i think most that joined in the dancing were clearly plants in the train station meant to look like travelers... but a few towards the end appeared to be just by-standers that got caught up in the moment - I loved that

8:47 am

nice to see something happy :)

8:48 am

want to see a really funny one?

8:48 am

sure .. could use a laugh (who couldn't?)

8:48 am

never mind MM, it is not the same

8:48 am

please, kje

8:48 am

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DalB-Cv O7Qc

8:49 am

just cracked me up

8:49 am

ahhh, bailey! love it!

8:50 am

8:50 am

8:52 am

hi featherbee

Hi Feather

8:57 am

glad you liked it weed!

8:57 am

feel good vid, right feather?

8:58 am

it gave me chills, lol! i loved seeing the reactions of everyone watching, and then people you thought were bystanders suddenly becoming part of it

8:58 am

I loved the african woman trying to dance at the end

8:58 am

lol, while i've been watching, nick has industriously taken apart the contents of the diaper bag.

8:58 am

it is that type of infectious thing where people just can't help them selves

8:59 am

LOL weed

8:59 am

making his own entertainment

Sad thing about taker aparters, they are rarely willing to be putter back togethers.

8:59 am

ha! red

8:59 am

he found a notebook and crayon. he's in his own kind of heaven. i've never seen a kid who likes to draw so much!

8:59 am

settling in yet red?

8:59 am

too true, red

9:00 am

ain't that the truth red. and speaking of that, i'm about to go put daniel's room back together. he's out with doug running errands.

9:00 am

and wtg nick! Happy with low-priced toys!

SOrt of. My friend craig is generously coming over tohelp me get some heavy things out of the car and to caulk my fish tank!

I think having more than 1 day off each week would help intensely, but the check will be nice too.

9:01 am

hi all

Hows texas?

hi jmc

and hi jmcrick.

9:01 am

we should be able to send a clone of ourselves to work while we do better things

9:02 am

hi jmcn

yes sprtie a smiling happy clone.

9:02 am

if you can figure it out, sprite, i'm in :)

9:02 am

I dont know I would be afraid the clone would get to do the good stuff

9:02 am

industrious, friendly, accommodating and great at the job

9:02 am

texas is texas

9:02 am

about what video are you talking... the people who thought they were specators and became the 'show'?

if you can exhort someone why can you no hort them.

9:03 am

oooo - i should post some strange texas facts... hold a sec red

9:03 am

I wouldn't worry for a second, jmc, lol.

9:03 am

*seconds red*

jmc, I sort of had a similar thought, because despite the hassles, I kind of enjoyed yesterday.

9:03 am

it is illegal in Texas to carry needle nose pliers in your hip pocket

9:03 am

sorry hi everyone

jmc that is an odd fact in Tx.

9:04 am

what happened yesterday red

9:04 am

needle nose pliers??

9:04 am

clues for the 7s plz

We have a law pending in N florida that makes it illegal to have relations with goats.

Just a nice day with Sick people.

9:04 am

lol red

9:04 am

because they have wire cutters -- it's left over from the range wars

9:05 am

here is one... Beaumont, TX to El Paso is 742 miles.... Beaumont to Chicago? 770

9:05 am

I think that is a good law for the goats

I prefer that to a nice day with people who are so anxious about their health and hate to hear that not really anything is wrong.

9:05 am

Morning everyone!

Me too!!!!

9:05 am

don't know why but I love weird facts. Maybe because they make my life seem relatively normal?

omg Red it doesnt seem like that law should be needed but I guess there are sicko's out there that need to be stopped

9:05 am

hi cwest

9:05 am

my mother was like that, but she had a doctor who liked to make things up

9:05 am

clues for the 7s plz

9:05 am

hi cw

9:06 am

hey tex! I am posting unrelated state facts for all thos in small places out there - LOL

Well, sometimes too having a real true anxiety attack feels terrible, problem is that most people do not want to believe they called 911 for anxiety.

co7 french spirits

9:06 am

here is a really weird one for you sprite...

TY Nono!

9:06 am

morning sprite,jm and kje

9:06 am

about a week after my husband died there was a terrible wind storm and at about 2 am I heard my front door open

9:07 am

true, red, it can feel like dying and I think people at 911 will not be angry if somebody calls for thinking they are dying.

9:07 am

I could bring myself to go down stairs for about an hour so I finally called 911

9:07 am

the texas state mascot is the armadillo.... armadillos ALWAYS have 4 babies... they have 1 egg that splits into 4 and they have either 4 males or 4 females each birth

9:07 am

argh jmc, you must have been scared sick

9:07 am

that was new to me - I find that fascinating

9:07 am

got the co7, clue for the other 7 plz

sa7 gritty dirt + another word for pig

9:07 am

oh that is a superb weird fact, kje!

Oh yes, I am never angry, but I do wish we americans would understand that it IS anxiety and nothing else....

9:07 am

they were very sweet about it since they knew my husband had just died but I was embarrased nevertheless

9:07 am

ty nono

jmc, was someone there? I wouldve called 911 too...

9:08 am

isn't it sprite? I am sure it will win me a millions dollars some day on a trivia show

9:08 am

my 7 year old son was there! lol

:) jmc thats good to hear, and I would have been terrified too, its one readon i have a dog.

9:09 am

it was just the wind and I knew it in my mind but my gut kept thinking someone was in the house

9:09 am

King Ranch in south Texas is larger than the state of Rhode Island

9:09 am

jmc, I totally understand! Also the feeling of embarrassment, but SO understandable to feel too afraid to even move.

Wow, so Octo mom is essentially a super Armadillo!!!!

9:09 am

LOL red

9:09 am

nothing in the middle of the road except yellow lines and dead armidillos!

9:09 am

jm .. i think the anxiety was well-based. how many times do we read in the news that grieving families have had their homes broken into. i would have called 911, too

9:10 am

red: yes, in stead of just saying, thanks for helping me calm down, I really thought I was popping off, glad it is 'just' anxiety.

9:10 am

<-- has a recipe somewhere for king ranch enchiladas

9:10 am

I never thought of that welki that makes me feel better

9:10 am

sa7...a kid that won't let anyone play in the dirt pile

9:10 am

are they good welki?

there is not a lot of trust for people to do the right thing in the ER anymore, and I suppose its well founded.

9:10 am

wow great clue phaeton!

9:10 am

LOL phae! excellent clue!

9:10 am

sa7=man who digs tunnels under rivers

9:11 am

morning!

Oddly though Phaeton, I wonder why that word wont plural!!!!!

9:11 am

lol .. it's been 15 years since i had them! will look for recipe later. i went back to school late in life, had a collaborative project in french class, we cooked!

9:11 am

hi phaeton your clue is more prosaic

9:11 am

red: because there is only one S in the grid

9:11 am

uhm ... more like 20 years (i am getting so old)

OHHHH! egg on my face!

9:12 am

too early for big words jmc :)

9:12 am

king ranch enchiladas in french class - that is kinda funny

9:12 am

i'm a funny kind of welki :)

9:12 am

prosaic is a small word sa7 is a big one

9:12 am

*grins evilly at red*

9:12 am

ok lets try this agin... hi eveyrone

9:12 am

hi oodle

hi ooodle

9:12 am

'morning, oodle

9:12 am

in size, but not meaning! :D

chat is moving at a rapid olympic style pace.

hi Oodle

9:13 am

OK - last weird fact - Tx is the only state that entered the Union by treaty rather than annexation - this allows the Tx flag to fly at the same height as the US flag, among other things

9:13 am

i can't find that video of which you were talking

9:13 am

hi oodle

9:13 am

I find the song but not the video

9:13 am

now that is something to be proud of, kje!

9:13 am

love it when it gets going but it interferes with finding words--on the other hand there aren't many words

kje you know alot about texas, inspires me to learn more about FLorida. I do know about the native Florida FIshies.

9:14 am

I just read it in a newspaper - LOL

9:14 am

I found the first 80 words in very little time, then got caught up in chat... still need 23, lol.

9:14 am

the treaty also allows texas to divide into 5 states (thus changing the charater of the senate)

9:14 am

texas has delay and bush and bush

9:14 am

excellent - you are correct jmc - ding ding ding!

9:15 am

jmc wins the toaster!

Texas is a special anomoly. the best thing i know to come out of texas is the Litter campaign, I really still want a "DONT MESS WITH TEXAS" T shirt.

9:15 am

and Texas hs cw and Jim Hightower and Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather and Carold Burnett

9:15 am

it is also the only state that can legally secede - this all the wackos down here

9:15 am

*looks up secede*

9:15 am

That T-shirt comes from an anti-little campaign. Drive Friendly comes from a traffic campaign from Texas

9:15 am

lots of movie stars, musicians, writers, etc - but it is just b/c it is a big state

9:16 am

Should we give it back to mexico?

9:16 am

texas has more reactionaries than any other state in the union

9:16 am

*singing* Alllll my exes live in Texassssssssssss

9:16 am

it didn't belong to mexico when it joined the US - it was its own country

9:16 am

"to withdraw formally from an alliance, federation, or association, as from a political union, a religious organization, etc"

9:16 am

YOu cant give it back to mexico it was an independent country when it joined the union

I love the anti litter campaign, I prefer Marylands statement regarding driving, you enter the state to a sign saying "DRIVE GENTLY" whatever that means!

9:16 am

ty jmc

9:17 am

what was it called?

9:17 am

"my uncle bill in texas can't even write his name he signs his cheques with x-es but they pay him just the same..."

9:17 am

do NOT mess with MD cops - scary as hell

9:17 am

it was called the Republic of Texas

9:17 am

mean mean mean... and B-more city - they were investigated by the feds for police brutality

yes thia is also very true kje, not a place to ever be discovered speeding.

9:17 am

ok kje, that is which song? Or... from which musical? No peeking on google... time is running...

9:18 am

who named it that?

9:18 am

Oklahoma?

9:18 am

nope

9:18 am

the people of Texas named it the Republic of Texas ??????

9:18 am

Sam Houston, jmc? (no idea, just guessing - LOL)

Guys and Dolls?

9:18 am

but they were mostly Mexican, right?

the Meicans

9:19 am

it was named Tejas by the Tejas Indians who were native there

9:19 am

"doing what comes naturally" from "Annie get your gun"

9:19 am

Tejas is NOT mexican for texas - it is a hasini indian word

9:19 am

it means friends in hasini

9:20 am

no the people of Texas were mixed Tejano (what you called Mexican) and Anglo and Tejas

9:20 am

texas has been claimed by a bunch of countries (including france!)

9:20 am

oooohhh - good one sprite - I knew it sounded familiar!

9:20 am

ok, good history lesson!

9:20 am

:D Very old, but so good

OK, stepping away to continue my attempt to make this place look less nutty.

9:20 am

(i sure loved james michener's 'texas')

9:20 am

i;m trying to pl all my words that haven't use the S yet

9:21 am

good luck, red, and keep faith. It will turn out beautifully.

9:21 am

When I traveled during college with my BF people would ask where in the US we came from and he would say Mississppi and they would say "huh?"

9:21 am

great to be done with the move red

9:21 am

any CH words?

9:21 am

I should move - I am still in bed (0930 here)

Can vouch for the meanness of MD cops personally

hello

9:21 am

hi TO

9:22 am

you NEVER get that with TX jmc... mostly b/c of that stupid dallas TV show

9:22 am

hi TOwl, have they been mean to you?

9:22 am

me too TO

9:22 am

me too, kje...time for vittles

9:22 am

no ch words

9:22 am

no ch

9:22 am

well I was in college long before the Dallas show

9:22 am

bbl

9:22 am

stay in bed, kje, and stay with us, please

and no radar detectors allowed, so many peple get to meet tem

9:22 am

bye for now, phaeton!

bye phae

9:23 am

and Larry Hagman (JR) was anative Texan==his mother was whats her name who was Peter Pan ---Mary something

9:23 am

mary martin

mary martin

9:24 am

would that you were male, tall, and handsome asking me that sprite ; )

9:24 am

my phantom on the grid--taut

saw her on Bway in sound of music. she was Maria

9:24 am

i had a mary martin (peter pan) wristwatch as a little girl :)

9:24 am

oh cool. Never could watch Dallas... found JR repulsing, lol.

9:24 am

I knew someone here would remember her name

9:24 am

he was meant to be sprite lol

9:24 am

my phantom was dogtag - tried it twice before i realized there was only one g

never could watch juli andrews in that role.

9:25 am

I'd say 1 out of 3 still isn't too bad, kje, but it is the most important one that is off ;)

9:25 am

LOL sprite

9:25 am

and yet juile andrews was the original liza doolittle and got bumped

9:26 am

remember a great joke from a comedian here in those days. He said: "The biggest question of the year, that kept all netherland entranced: WHO KILLED J.R.? And for the first time in tv history, the Belgians knew before the Dutchmen!"

9:27 am

I like Julie Andrews

star heirarchy i guess...hepburn was biger than andrews, and andrews bigger than martin who was really a stage actor

9:27 am

when i was mugged in france about 5 years ago, the cops at the station asked me who shot JR - they could hardly speak any english, but knew that

9:27 am

Hepburn was brilliant

9:28 am

someone else sang for hepburn though, i think

martin also did south pacific as i remember?

9:28 am

lol kje

9:28 am

true hepburn couldn't sing a note

yes it was voiced over

9:29 am

martin did that in both stage and movie

as was natalie wood in west side story

9:30 am

I was thinking of poor leonard bernstein the other day

9:30 am

kind of sad the real singers aren't well known for their work :(

9:30 am

OK, really must go... as enticing as bed is with you sprite - lovely to see you though (or as liza would say, lo-ver-ly)

I thought Mitzi Gaynor did SouthPacific movie?

9:30 am

bye all

9:30 am

kje, will be missing you!

9:30 am

well, da 4/7 it all! grid's done and now no excuse to keep me from cleaning house *ptui*

gator

9:31 am

oops! of to the pb

9:31 am

good old Al, right mom?

9:31 am

poor welki, and gratz :)

LOL

9:31 am

your right mm yet I have a clear picture of mary martin singing gonna wash that man right out of my hair -- maybe something on tv long ago

aw, welk! i can find tons of excuses , am very good at that

i agree mm - again the star power thing. mary martin was not hollywwod beauty

9:33 am

hi owl :)

9:33 am

not beautiful as in glamorous, but she sure could fly!

9:33 am

pkay got to go put my tomatoes in the ground bbl

***wonders where everyone is...makes him wanna go hmmmmm***

1:57 pm

I'm here

1:57 pm

hi miz

1:57 pm

it's such a short puzzle that people are doing other things

1:57 pm

hey oodleberry

1:58 pm

yes ma'am I'm not that fortunate ... don't have a brain that quick

hey, peeps. I was just about to log off. was kept up all morning (when I sleep best, and only had 3 hours last night) because men were here fixing my HVAC, which went out Thursday night

1:59 pm

well, if it wasn't for lickity, I would be stuck for the last half

friend coming shortly to help me rebandage legs

1:59 pm

hi tyger

1:59 pm

what happened to your legs??

oodle, don't feel inferior. some days I can go at moderate speed on the grids, others, I take forever/don't finish

2:00 pm

I always get stuck on the easiest/shortest words

I had cellulitis in them in December, and then they started "weeping". I wound up in hospital (3 times), and with open sores/ulcers on both legs. right leg is basically healed now, but left leg has been stubborn

2:01 pm

yuck...that really sucks!

I now have to wear elastic thingies on my legs, and will eventually graduate to support hose :( :( :(

2:02 pm

but I do, it's a sickness of the brain that doesn't allow you to go quickly or think quickly

yup, miz; it ain't no fun

2:03 pm

um how did they start

how did they start? what do you mean?

2:03 pm

oh duh... cellulitis

2:04 pm

well I am sorry your legs are sad and they started weeping... is there anyway I can cheer them uyp so they will stop?

I had cellulitis before - nearly 3 years ago - in one leg. doctors say that once you've had it, you're very vulnerable to get it again

2:05 pm

hello oodle and tyger. Sounds like quite an ordeal you've had, tyger!

hey, nef

2:05 pm

doesn't it suck to get old?

2:05 pm

hi nef

it's been rough, nef. earlier this month was diagnosed with an infection that required an IV antibiotic. they taught me how, and I did it. now **that** was REALLY depressing

2:06 pm

(I'm over 60 myself)

2:06 pm

I guess I am the youngun at 30

yes, as they say, getting old is not for cowards :P

guess you are :)

2:07 pm

don,t age Miz...

and that, friends, is why I haven't been around much. I'm not supposed to spend very much time at the computer. I'm being a Bad Girl today

2:07 pm

most everyone in my life is older than me, so getting old is far from scary because they all are so awesome

2:07 pm

DO age, MIZ! The alternative is worse!

:) nef's got a point

2:08 pm

I want to move foreword and live!

there are lots of people my age who are very healthy. they just picked healthier parents & grandparents than I did :P

2:09 pm

Hi there everyone. I saved 6 from last night. Still need clues though.

2:09 pm

rather grandiose to think they were your choice

2:09 pm

May I please have a clue for af5-16? Thanks

I've already lived longer than my mother and paternal grandparents, and only 4 years from as long as my father

2:09 pm

My mom is almost 71 and still moving and shaking around the world...I hope I am just like her

babrab, it's just an expression. I didn't invent it.

af5/16: a supernatural being from Muslim mythology

2:10 pm

night all, icon and theme updated and ready for Sunday. Have fun all. *special hi to BabbleRabble*

2:11 pm

We also need to take care of ourselves better as we age. It isn't all genetics; as a nurse I've often found it humorous how people don't care for themselves for a lifetime and then come into ICU and expect us to fix them in less than a week. (I'm not saying that about you, tyger!)

hey, sprite

nef, obesity runs in my father's family. I kept mine from being really bad all my life, but lost 75 pounds in the last 3 years. doesn't seem to be helping much :(

2:12 pm

Don't know Muslin mythology....thanks anyway, tygerbryght.

2:12 pm

Muslim.

I've been careful about salt since I was 30, and don't eat much meat at all.

2:12 pm

I lost 30 lbs for my wedding and have managed to keep off since (almost 2 years)

2:13 pm

maybe you need to see a nutrtionist and make sure that your diet provides enough healthy nutrients so you aren't susceptible to infection.

af5/16: af + I like to w***e poetry sometimes

2:14 pm

Thanks, tyger.

nef, I take a ton of supplements - and I know they help, because I don't keep taking anything I try unless I can tell a difference after I start

yw, peach

and I do all I can in other ways. I've just been very vulnerable to infection all my life. after I was grown, my father told me that they didn't think I'd live to grow up

2:15 pm

tyger, sorry, that came out rather harsh sounding. I've been through several years of health problems too recently and I really have found that nutrition is important and that we Americans don't know how to eat right (including me)

I need to go. Ruthie will be here any minute, and she's in the midst of making 5 bridesmaid dresses for a wedding in 10 days

2:18 pm

bye, tyger. See you again sometime soon.

later, all

2:18 pm

See you, tygerbright.

BR, if you believe in reincarnation I think you actually do pick your parents. Just a thought.

2:19 pm

May I please have a clue for fa5-20? Thanks

2:20 pm

a bundle of sticks minus a middle letter

2:20 pm

a stick that you burn with one con, peach

2:20 pm

or a british cigarette

2:23 pm

storyteller, that's an interesting concept: reincarnated people picking their own parents....

2:25 pm

Mizhoffle, thanks, I have the British cig. as fa4-9. Is there another way to spell it? Thanks

2:26 pm

I think that's it

2:26 pm

Thanks oodleberry, my mind is in slow mode today.

2:26 pm

fireworks!!

2:27 pm

I'll keep looking

2:27 pm

gapeach, take off the pl end and add 2 letters

2:27 pm

Congrats MizHoffle.

2:27 pm

the 4 is for short of the brit cigarrette peach

2:27 pm

thanks!

2:27 pm

YAY MizHoffle! WTG!

2:28 pm

Thanks Nef. I have it now.

2:30 pm

an5 the 2nd one

2:31 pm

oodle, I only have one; it's the feeling that so many teens go throught

2:31 pm

oh duh

2:31 pm

ty

2:31 pm

(actually, the teen years are full of it!)

2:31 pm

yw

2:53 pm

Congrats, Gibson! WTG!

2:53 pm

this old geezer is doing okay, Trifioso

2:53 pm

and welcome trifio

2:54 pm

BR, your essay today is very challenging! whilst I agree with many of the sentiments, it is a dangerous idea. I think the key is a balance between ambition and peace. I would like to leave the world better than I found it, but also realize the value of rest, and of a peaceful spirit. Seems to me there is a lot of danger in those who confuse that with an excuse to do nothing of note, or who wait for Life to deliver what they are "owed" while they do naught.

2:55 pm

but, as always, I absolutely appreciate your essays, and what you bring to the chog (which enable does not recognize, btw...)

Oh Gee, I did have it, think of the dog of the Royal family for that CO 5.

Trif, I tried Chog in desperation!

3:00 pm

3:15 pm

*flop*

3:16 pm

Hello jmc! I was switching locations, sorry...

3:16 pm

hey ata

3:16 pm

Hello ata!

3:16 pm

hi trif

3:16 pm

just got home from 4 hours of scrambling around seaweedy rocks

3:17 pm

sounds fun -- with Hobbit I assume

3:17 pm

that is your dog, yes?

3:17 pm

without for once! too dangerous for Hobbit. and was surveying, so no time to take care of the mutt

3:17 pm

oh yes :)

3:18 pm

surveying?

3:18 pm

beach surveys - seeing what's there. cataloguing diversity. and stuff

3:18 pm

hi all...here for a few...

3:18 pm

I spent three hours in my garden weeding and planting until my arms were about to break out in a rash! lol

3:18 pm

pini!!!

3:18 pm

hi trif

3:19 pm

cool ata love poking in tidal pools

3:23 pm

3:24 pm

does koda type?

3:25 pm

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

I blame lent!!

3:43 pm

Are you not my friend yet?

3:43 pm

:-(

3:43 pm

classic is much nicer than myth and magic

3:43 pm

I have to start writing down real names to go with nicknames...I get so confuzzled!

3:43 pm

someone last night asked me to so she could use my letters

3:43 pm

Katie - sounds like throw up but different vowel

3:44 pm

I asked my friend from okie and she didn't even answer me

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

that's right, jmc, and kadresa is our other sister,and our pastor is a babbler too, but she doesn't chat.

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

Thanks trif I have accepted you

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

I have church in the morning, If I open a 3rd bottle I might not make it lol

3:53 pm

3:54 pm

3:54 pm

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

katie I just friended you

3:56 pm

I'm working on it

3:56 pm

I think I need to pay attention to the grid for a while *diving in*

3:58 pm

ata, I just looked at your FB entries - need another hint?

3:58 pm

lol, trif, if you can't work it out from that, I can't say anything else without naming names, and I'm not doing that. Don't worry, it's not you

3:58 pm

I just added ya, too, Katie ;)

3:59 pm

Ata...are we FB friends...

3:59 pm

I got it!!!! oh I totally get it now...laughing.....oh, well done you!!!

3:59 pm

Oh lovely I've accepted everyone.

3:59 pm

i left a message for you in lexulous chat pini

4:00 pm

I think so Pini, I'm Becky Hitchin on there

4:00 pm

loading now, oodle

4:00 pm

oh, sigh....what I missed by giving up Babble for Lent!

4:00 pm

Ata all is clear but I don't know the individual. Are all the people who made comments babble friends? need to know before I ask them to be friends lol

4:00 pm

but of course!!!!!!! we're playing games, ata!!!

4:01 pm

I made a Babble friend list on my profile...

4:01 pm

everyone except the last one :)

4:01 pm

replied oodle

4:01 pm

*grins* it's so easy to forget who is what and how is why!

4:02 pm

I know, right? I need a way to be able to add babble nicknames to friend's names on FB!

4:02 pm

In the infamous words of Schultz, "I know nuthink!"

4:02 pm

when you take a letter from someone in word hunt, it doesn't actually leave their rack, does it?

4:03 pm

Trif I missed the person through lent as well, but I think that might be to our advantage lol

4:03 pm

is that person still around?

4:03 pm

Helllo again. I had to go clean house for a bit, I still have 40 words to find. Will I finish today?

4:03 pm

hi nef

4:03 pm

occasionally, I think

4:03 pm

another thing about babble, is that with the time zones and all, the same people tend to be on at the same time. For example, when I babble in the morning, I tend to see a lot of Aussies that are heading for bed

4:04 pm

you will, nef...

4:05 pm

I have my morning crowd (before I go to work) my afternoon crowd (losing touch because I can't play in my lunchtime and my evening crowd (when I get home from work)

4:05 pm

when I get here, the brits are going to bed

4:05 pm

I have babble list on fb too but I still have trouble firguring out who it who

4:05 pm

some of us are dirty stop ups pini

4:05 pm

and we can't make notes on FB, can we?

4:05 pm

I took my turn pini

4:05 pm

yes, I see you all understand what I mean! And then there are folks like BR, who seem to always be just out of reach, and then right when you need them, they appear!

4:05 pm

and yes there are different time groups (so what are you doing here at this time pini your my late night firends!)

4:05 pm

what do you mean pini?

4:06 pm

Thanks for the encouragement, Pini. It really will dpend on how much work I get done today (which so far hasn't been much!

4:06 pm

I know I can write Notes...but I want to be able to add comment notes to people's profiles (i.e., Babble nicknames)

4:06 pm

I like our normal UK evening crowd

4:06 pm

I work on the principle if I don't know who they are then they are babble. unfortunately not always true as I seem to have a cousins' wife's sister on and didn't know it. She was slightly confused by my babble question

4:06 pm

what's a stop up Katie

4:06 pm

the worst time for me is just after the kids go to school. Chog is always near empty. If I get fireworks, only crickets answer!

4:07 pm

not going to bed at a reasonable time

4:07 pm

Make a sub-friend list entitled, Babble, Katie...

4:07 pm

you can write on their walls and other friends of theirs will see it

4:07 pm

me too ata

4:07 pm

yes sometime when I log in during the day the chog echos from its empty walls

4:07 pm

I miss Haz as I don't see her as often

4:07 pm

clue please for ho 5 16

4:07 pm

and you can write on your wall at your home page pini

4:07 pm

that's the catch, oodle...don't want to expose if it's not wanted...

4:08 pm

Schultz's American buddy...

4:08 pm

cherly it is a navaho home

4:08 pm

she is around on occasions though. and it's always worth yelling for her if she shows up as online

4:08 pm

cherly, that was for your ho5/16

4:08 pm

is she on facebook?

4:09 pm

I will post to Liz if she is not chatting anymore

4:09 pm

ty

Tired...we got up early to go to a city-wide garage sale this morning...Tim's snoozing now...

I have been slacking with all the nice weather we've been having...

7:01 pm

yeah Jan 2010 he will be mine... my old guy turns 15 tomorrow.

7:01 pm

you've done a great job, ruru .. that's mighty old. my ol' guy was 13 when he passed away

7:01 pm

My dog Molly is 15 now...

7:02 pm

I know I am so lucky..

7:02 pm

She's a cancer and stroke survivor...

7:02 pm

loving every day we have together...

7:02 pm

He has turned into thisbig baby lately though..lol

7:02 pm

wow jellen.. what kind of cancer?

7:02 pm

Awwww....

7:02 pm

i almost gave in to a fit of insanity this week ... 8 year old irish setter was surrendered. but i was strong .. sort of.

7:03 pm

they are such beautiful dogs Irish setters.. not a brain in their head though

7:03 pm

beautiful guy, well behaved .. not your typical rescue, so i'm hoping he's adopted SOON ;)

7:03 pm

Mmmm...I can't remember the technical name.

7:03 pm

they are a wee bit ditzy *lol*

7:04 pm

(putting it mildly)

7:04 pm

Fortunately it was contained and the vet was able to remove it...no sign of recurrence...

7:04 pm

what kind of dog is Molly?

7:05 pm

how lucky jellen..

7:05 pm

good for you

7:05 pm

Molly is a pit bull mix...I call her my back gate dog...

7:05 pm

(and she hasn't eaten TIm yet)

7:05 pm

ca6/24?

7:06 pm

She looooves Tim...and most everyone except the postman...

7:06 pm

someone who speaks the truth speaks with ca6

7:06 pm

thank you!!

7:06 pm

(what is it with the postmen?

7:06 pm

yw holly

7:07 pm

I have no idea...I was really surprised!

7:07 pm

they smell like food

7:07 pm

lol

7:07 pm

all the walking they do makes them deeeelicious

7:08 pm

lil postmen chops...

7:08 pm

it's not only posties, though .. meter readers, too. part of my job involves these sorts of incidents and, generally, it's neither the dog nor the worker's fault .. but the dog owner's

7:08 pm

I have a doggy question for you all...Every night between 7 and 8 Molly starts barking her head off...any ideas why?

7:09 pm

it's never the dog's fault

7:09 pm

^5 wild

7:09 pm

where is she at that time?

7:09 pm

^5

7:09 pm

She's usually in her room in the basement

7:09 pm

bewitching hour .. just like kids get nutty every day at the same time. (could be the part of her brain that is dedicated to "Bark At Nothing" activates then)

7:10 pm

Dr Phil is on and she hates Dr. phil?

7:10 pm

lol

7:11 pm

(does she stop barking on commercials?_

7:11 pm

my dogs go beserk at about 7pm, too .. looks like the doggy daytona here around then

7:11 pm

We thought the neighbor kids were bothering her, but they just moved (yeah!) and the barking continues...

7:11 pm

(i knew i always liked you, wild :)

7:12 pm

:)

7:12 pm

don't know jellen..

7:12 pm

ahhh, but the barking may have become a learned behavior .. might be hard to control now

7:12 pm

our dogs are quiet.. maybe she wants a walk?

7:12 pm

'Tis a mystery...That might be it, ruru...

7:13 pm

call cesar milan, the ~dog whisperer~ *lol*

7:13 pm

are there sirens or neighborhood activities at those hours?

7:13 pm

Nope

7:13 pm

hmmm

7:13 pm

then she wants a snack or wants to be with you, or wants to go for a walk

7:13 pm

here's a stretch .. have a neighbor who is a policeman, fireman, paramedic or emt?

7:14 pm

We aren't doing anything special, either...no, welki

7:15 pm

was going to suggest that the radio tests they might listen to have tones that excite/bother Molly

7:15 pm

I'll work on that, ruru...changing our routine...

7:16 pm

brb

7:16 pm

yeah.. a walk at that hour and then put her to bed

7:16 pm

is there a j6?

7:16 pm

even if it is a short one..

7:16 pm

7:16 pm

sweet dreams red

8:52 pm

sweet sleep, Red.

8:53 pm

are there any Ji words? I have one Ja and four Jo, looking for two more J

8:53 pm

I'm confused. how can the roman tunics and the ro5/14 have the same point count when one has 2 two-point squares and the other 1 three-point square? Scoring has never been my strong point.

8:53 pm

hello eva!

8:53 pm

2 ja's 5 jo's

8:53 pm

thanks LBD

8:54 pm

hi stid!

8:54 pm

hi eva. i have no idea. scoring is not my forte

8:54 pm

there is an RO 5/14?

8:55 pm

got it, thanks Eva.

8:55 pm

that's what lickety's list said, but it must have more points than that. It sounds like part of the human anatomy, or where branches come together in a tree

8:55 pm

because total points as just straight count both = 7

8:57 pm

I have a JA 4, is the other a 5?

8:57 pm

hi all

8:57 pm

NVM, monkyed it

8:57 pm

nope another 4

8:57 pm

hey jmc

8:57 pm

hi jmc

8:58 pm

I have three jo 4 and one jo 5... I need?

8:58 pm

another jo4

8:59 pm

thanks LBD *thinking*

8:59 pm

I must be very tired. I still don't get it. They both have 5 letters. Three of teh 5 are one-pointers, then one has an additional 4 points and the other 3. How can that add up to 7 in both cases. Please take me out and shoot me. I know it does add up to 7 but can't see how.

8:59 pm

jo4, 11, 10, 9 and 9

8:59 pm

the to has FOUR one point tiles, + one THREE point tile = SEVEN points

8:59 pm

I have never understood the points all I understand is that really big points mean a big point letter somewhere

9:00 pm

the ro has THREE one points tiles + TWO x two point tiles = seven points

9:00 pm

thank you stid. Now I can die in peace, knowing that life ultimately made sense(-:

9:00 pm

lbd is that the order they are in?

9:00 pm

Hi stidmama. I just recently picked up the point system. Sometimes it just takes a while. Don't despare or dispair or despaier or something.

9:01 pm

Fireworks anyway.

9:01 pm

hello mother!

9:01 pm

yes, jmc. with a jo5 between the 9's

9:01 pm

9:02 pm

YAY Eva!!!

9:02 pm

And TY, Stidgmere too! You also signed the card.

9:02 pm

oh! glad you got the card, so very sorry about callie -- I hadn't heard. *sad mama look*

9:02 pm

I will send you photos tomorrow, Stid, when I am on my other computer.

9:02 pm

Scrabs are you predicting her demise? 09?

9:02 pm

I meant 5/10/08--almost 1 year now

9:03 pm

thanks scrabbler, I will glad to get that.

9:03 pm

(((SCRABS)))

9:03 pm

oh! right... LOL I get confused a lot these days.

9:03 pm

Oh, good scrabbler wasn't that a great card for you!! Glad it arrived.

9:03 pm

I got foster bunny, Beatrix Potte,r on 5/31/08 and she is mine, thus the fitting name from me.

9:03 pm

Merp is not happy with his food tonight. Keeps coming back upstairs and giving me "cat starving to death on the frozen tundra" eyes, which is hard to pull off when you weigh 14 lbs.

9:03 pm

lol eva!

9:03 pm

I loved that card because it looks exactly like Callie!

9:04 pm

I forgot it was callie who left last year. It's so hard sometimes for me to keep names straight of the people and critters I have actually met...

9:04 pm

Haha, Eva.

9:04 pm

LOL Eva!

9:04 pm

Yes, it hard to remember Babble names, real names, pets, etc

9:05 pm

I found the boys' school pics the day after I mailed that to you, scrabbler, will send those along when I have half a brain again.

9:05 pm

TY, Stid.

9:06 pm

down to 12 now, mother... how you doing?

9:06 pm

9:06 pm

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

Yes, Stidmama, let you mum win the race. Haha

9:07 pm

cwest: ro + first two letters astrological bull

9:07 pm

There's no question in this house as to who has trained whom.

9:07 pm

ro 5.14 is the part of the anatomy baseball seem to adjust a lot... without the initial C

9:08 pm

great clue, Stid

9:08 pm

lol, love your clue stid

9:08 pm

*grin* sometimes I think of good ones...

ha, thanks!

9:08 pm

so stid, since you answered the point question so ably....why do they do all of that tugging and pulling and why does it seem necessary to spit like a camle in order to play baseball?

9:09 pm

Bad, bad, bad behavior!

9:09 pm

because those cups hurt

9:09 pm

um, that is "boy stuff" Eva... I may live in a houseful of them, but I can't claim to unnerstand them!

9:10 pm

Boss Richard Head grabs his package a lot, and it totally repels us, but no one has the ba**s to tell him to stop.

9:10 pm

thx for the clue :)

9:10 pm

I mean basektball players don't spit. Or football. or hockey (they just beat each other up - so much better)

9:10 pm

maybe a tube of anti-itch cream, delivered anonymously with instructions on where to put it???

9:10 pm

you should point it out since it would be sexual harassment

9:10 pm

Who is Richard head?

9:11 pm

Football players spit and worse on the field ..

9:11 pm

Great idea, Stid!

9:11 pm

think of nickname for richard (like nixon)...

9:11 pm

Eva, my boss' designated alias = Richard Head.

9:11 pm

down to 11 and seriously considering the list. how about you, mother?

9:12 pm

4 and using dictionary

9:12 pm

go mother go!

9:12 pm

I knew there was a reason (or another one) why I don't watch football. I can't understand what the hell they are doing. And baseball is like watching moss grow. But I am an addicted Celtics fan.

9:12 pm

Interesting, jmc. That's true?

It stops may 1st anyway. positively SCORCHED my forehead, and it still smarts! Primo is home from italy tomorrow - yay! spring is def here, so that is making everyone happier. so more on the plus side, which is good.
