Heil Hitler

Having a very bad year actually. Cancer treatments since July last year and surgery next month. Ugh.

12:46 am

NBT

12:46 am

hello evy1 and thx for the 7 and 10

12:46 am

I fear that Iranian twit is another one

12:46 am

this is the place to relax for awhile then sus

12:46 am

Oh no, Susan!

12:46 am

Yes, nice and distracting. I had every imaginable side-effect too.

12:47 am

hi just

12:47 am

afternoon all :)

12:47 am

ok stalled at 62 found! night all :)

12:47 am

Hi jilli...westie

12:47 am

so sorry to hear susan

12:47 am

was it chemo? Thought that came AFTER surgery

12:47 am

hi mrP

12:47 am

night kaz

Oh, I'm doing reasonably well but the treatment is what kills you I think. I felt fine before !

12:48 am

hi mr. p

12:48 am

sorry sus keep your eye on the prize

12:48 am

a 10 but no 8 or 9..thats unusual

12:48 am

hey jilli, ruru, west, mar et al :))

12:48 am

good advice from west

12:48 am

hi mrp

12:48 am

hi mrp!

They gave me a pretty grim prognosis, but I don't really believe them. Anyway, needed to pre-treat

before surgery...

12:49 am

went

12:49 am

can you tell uswhat kind or would you rather not, susan? I've had three kinds (one just skin)

12:49 am

oops..sorry..just started

12:49 am

go rolin!

12:50 am

where ? rolin

12:50 am

that rainbow in your icon is very hopeful

12:50 am

jilli, you are a keeper!!

Breast cancer, but they think it's gone to my lungs. On the other hand, they couldn't get a biopsy.

12:51 am

what will the surgery be, asks nosy parker

So when they do a mastectomy they also plan to cut my throat for a lung biopsy. Double ugh.

12:52 am

Grisly way of putting it, susan!

Actually it's been going on long enough I'm not as fearful as I was.

12:53 am

Hello everyone

12:54 am

lots of hands to hold around here, susan

12:54 am

thankfully they have a lot of ammunition to ward off breast cancer now

12:54 am

hi lynxxx

12:54 am

hi lynxxx

Absolutely amazing people at the Cancer Institute here. It's been a lesson for me, how kind people can be.

12:54 am

hi lynxx

12:54 am

susan, is Dr McPherson your oncologist?

12:54 am

keep positive

12:55 am

my cousin Maggie was diagnosed in May 1999. Her cancer came back just short of 5 years later. Since then it's gone to her bones and brain and she just keeps fighting back it's not going to get her

No. Vanessa Bernstein. I'm quite sure I've run across Dr. McPherson though...

12:55 am

Sorry to read of your troubles Susan. It's a good sign that they are actively treating it.And the survival rate of breast cancer just gets better and better

12:55 am

not getting anywhere, so calling it a night with 72 down.

12:56 am

They are all topnotch, susan.

12:56 am

good luck, susan. Good night all

12:56 am

nite C'nan

12:56 am

you'll dream of all the words you need nan

Oh, absolutely, Lynxxx. On top of which, I've had some prior experience. My mother was given 2 months (25 yr. ago) and lasted ten years.

12:56 am

susan, breast cancer is much more treatable than most others, be positive and not sickened by it helps

12:56 am

BC has one of the best survival rates of breast cancer in the world.

12:57 am

my mom's a 23 year breast cancer survivor

12:57 am

I'm a 9 year one

I am so impressed with the system here!

12:58 am

Me too, susan

12:59 am

and mine had gone into the lymph nodes

Funny thing, though, I keep thinking what a waste of resources all this amazing care is.

12:59 am

I don't miss my yearly mammograms

1:00 am

I should say I never miss

1:01 am

it had been 17 years since the first when they diagnosed Mom's 2nd about 6 yrs ago. She's 79 and still going strong, no recurrances (sp?). She says she has a boyish figure, lol.

Mines metestatic - lymph nodes too. Just hope not the lungs. I wasn't cancer-phobic at all so I was very negligent about watching.

1:02 am

You must be destined to do something special in the future then Susan so the care will not be 'wasted'

reoccurance !

Yes! I'm going to be a first-time grandmother in November!

1:03 am

congratulations!!!

1:03 am

now that's a happy

1:03 am

Veerryy happy, how wonderful for you

I've been shopping non-stop every since I found out on Mother's Day :-)

Bought a buggy, car seat, playyard....

1:04 am

do they know if it's a boy or girl? or want to be surprised?

They don't know yet...I think they'll find out if they can...

1:05 am

I should hope it is a boy or a girl

1:05 am

lol bab there's no one like you

1:06 am

Maybe both - twins

..or maybe some exotic combination of the two... :-)

1:07 am

finally, just passed half way, off to bed, goodnight all

1:08 am

goodnight Flosey

1:08 am

good night flosey pleasant dreams

1:08 am

nite, flosey!

Goodnight Flosey

1:09 am

thanks all, and all the best Susan, am sure having such wonderful news of new baby helps

Thank you for the kind words!

Has anyone posted any stats?

not that i know of, anike. i just got here

2:52 am

morning all

2:52 am

ohhhh Ata, congratulations and you DID it! No list today!

2:52 am

*just about to go out* stats in my bio

2:53 am

lmao true!!! I'd forgotten about that

morning sprite

2:53 am

hi FM, and bye FM!

ty FM i will consult that later possibly

2:53 am

I am impressed, Ata

2:54 am

Good morning all. I'm not surprised there's no list. There's no doubting Ata's influence in high places.

2:54 am

not only th4, but you are in today's grid as well

2:54 am

morning Haz

2:54 am

I wish atlatl was

2:54 am

yeah, that is a beautiful word

evening all :)

2:55 am

we used to have a babbler by that name, but I think he stopped when the word atlatl finally showed up

2:55 am

evening mrP

2:55 am

Good morning, sprite. and good evening mrpresident.

2:56 am

and, Ata, your home is also in today's grid. What did you do to get this much attention!

2:56 am

well .....

2:57 am

yes????

2:57 am

Einstein IS her grandfather.

2:57 am

can he exert influence from the grace though?

2:58 am

Not sure about from the grace, but who knows about the grave?

2:58 am

grave!

2:58 am

that too :)

2:58 am

Blame your arm for the typo.

2:58 am

you are in as well, Haz, btw

2:59 am

Wonder of wonders, so I am!

2:59 am

much less frequent than Ata, of course. It is a festive day.

2:59 am

In both manifestations - as a Haz and when I'm looking my worst, a hag.

2:59 am

lol

3:00 am

or as St Haz, Hagia Hazella

i got all the a's before i made it halfway. that is a bit odd

3:00 am

josh, you are beginning to show promise ;)

i may crack this babble thing yet

3:02 am

and even before it cracks you!

i think that ship has sailed

3:03 am

;)

3:07 am

why no giraf/girafs?

3:07 am

They require another f and an e.

3:08 am

ah, thanks. Mix-up with dutch spelling then.

3:08 am

Beautiful creatures.

3:08 am

they always strike me as funny. So odd, having to deliver their babies into free fall.

3:09 am

That's another Dutch word I've learned!

3:09 am

in dutch one can use both spellings.

3:10 am

So, fact for the day, there are three different types of giraffe, recognisable by different markings.

3:10 am

Or maybe I should say at least three that I know of!

3:10 am

hey, cool, didn't know that.

3:10 am

did you see them when staying next door to your friends, the Obamas?

3:11 am

I can't tell the difference but it's to do with their markings. Reticulated, Masai and Rothschild.

3:11 am

they would have gone nicely together with the sa word.

3:11 am

rothschild no less.

3:11 am

Not that time, Ata, but who knows what'll happen when we meet up next?

3:12 am

reticulated = networked pattern of blobs

3:12 am

There's one that has no marking beneath the knees.

3:13 am

Just spotted the horned animal....

3:13 am

a shortnecked giraffe

goodnight euros

3:13 am

and a thickskinned one

3:13 am

I like the little spaceman transmitters giraffes have on their heads

3:14 am

bye US dollar

3:14 am

Bonsoir Lost Colonial.

3:14 am

so do I, Ata. And their incredibly soft deer eyes.

3:15 am

I shall never see eye to eye with a giraffe

3:15 am

*gives BabbleRabble a greeting and a lift*

3:15 am

Not unless you get the high rise soapbox.

3:16 am

Phone.

3:17 am

beautiful icon, BabbleRabble, and an even more beautiful text. Duly noted, I will tell myself that one more often. Speaking of icons, I promised some more Terra. Back in a sec with the camera.

3:18 am

Going to take a break, I'll be back later. Happy Anniversary, Ata!

3:21 am

bye dear!

3:21 am

back, uploading will take some time though

3:22 am

bye Haz

3:26 am

lol, only the pics where he was lying down are sharp. Almost all playing ones are blurred. The lion is way too fast.

3:31 am

ok, if you want to see a recent terra, refresh.

3:31 am

back again to announce firewords :)

3:31 am

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

3:31 am

wtg jilli!

3:31 am

brb

3:33 am

love your icon story, jilli.

3:35 am

thanks, sprite -- and I love your icon -- what a sweet baby face!

3:38 am

lol and I am thinking he is becoming so mature!

3:39 am

uploading on flickr, now

3:39 am

Morning all. For a moment there I thought Jilli meant Sprite's hubby had a baby face. I've never seen a baby with a beard. LOL

3:39 am

hi Jac, lol!

3:40 am

sweet mumble rabbit, Jac

3:40 am

Thanks Sprite.

3:42 am

29 to find here but I've having a nose through everyone's flickr pics for past 10 mins.

3:42 am

hehehe the babble words will keep, Jac

3:43 am

Hi jac -- don't think you're on a plane

3:44 am

No, I'm on a swivel chair. Hi, Jilli. Love your icon description.

3:45 am

thanks, Jac. I still love Just So Stories with Kipling's wonderful drawings

3:46 am

The rhythm of the language was what captured my imagination as a child, Jilli. Still does.

3:46 am

FMitch posted a list in case anyone is interested. I never would have finished without it, but she did.

3:48 am

oh, that too, of course. Yellow dog dingo and the kangaroo-to-be bouncing all over the place...

3:48 am

No Lickety again then? Might need FM's list a bit further down the line. I shall go and have some to5/10 first and watch the starling families on my bird feeder. I may see more words on my return.

3:48 am

bye for now, Jac

3:49 am

No Lickety so far. And to5/10 was my last word and took me ages to find, I'm ashamed to say. Got too used to weirdos I guess.

3:49 am

bye jac -- and I'll be off to bed if nobody needs clues now

3:50 am

bye jilli, am almost finished. If you want to see more of Terra, there will be pics on flickr on your tomorrow :)

3:51 am

25 to go and hunger pangs bid me leave. Sleep well Jilli. See you in a while Sprite.

3:51 am

oh good, sprite! So hooray in advance for your pending fireworks and goodnight!

fireworks here sans lickety as well

3:51 am

enjoy your meal, Jac, and in case I am go4 when you come back: *huggggs*

i couldn't tear away that close to the end

last word wh4/14

3:52 am

YAY josh!!!

3:52 am

lol josh, I know the feeling. But gratz!

tyvm. it was fun playing with all those vowels

3:53 am

You ARE a wh4/14, josh!

3:53 am

'Gee ****, Batman!' (What Robin used to say but without the last high-point letter.) wh4/14.

i am a person who occasionally has lengthy dreams about finding words in a grid

3:53 am

TTFN. Happy Babbling.

3:54 am

me too, josh, quite often!

i have started a grid, fallen asleep, and dreamt words that i then found first thing upon waking up

3:54 am

and now ...*poof*

3:54 am

wow such productive dreams!

3:55 am

ohhhh found the 10 and it is a real word!

hopefully i will dream of something more provocative tonight

speaking of dreaming, i'd better call it a night before i get in trouble with the sun

3:55 am

night josh

3:58 am

sweet dreams jilli!

what does the 10 start with sprite?

4:05 am

an, faith

thanks

4:13 am

yvwv. Flickr pics updated, new ones of terra should be there now.

yeah, found the 10

4:15 am

wtg! Do you have the 7 that goes with it?

yes, just found it

4:16 am

good finds, aren't they? :)

yes, now I only have the smaller words left

4:17 am

enjoy the hunt. I have fireflies and am off to do some chores. Bye!

4:45 am

List is in Babanon and on my pofile for anyone that wants it.

4:49 am

good morning everyone. Why is tagine not allowed!

4:52 am

deafening silence

4:53 am

Hi Eva

4:54 am

hello Eva..maybe they are using the tajine spelling...not sure really

4:55 am

hello soodle

5:02 am

I wanted tagine too!

5:03 am

found the ten..yipee

5:04 am

119 points for that word..nice

5:08 am

so how does the scoring work?

5:08 am

shag

for why we no have clues

5:10 am

lol Ian SCORING Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points 5-letter word = 2 x Points 6-letter word = 3 x Points 7-letter word = 4 x Points 8-letter word = 5 x Points 9-letter word = 6 x Points Example: Word: BABBLE Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1) Total: 36 pts. (taken from the Help section above the log :)

5:11 am

I don`t know Mrp :-(

5:11 am

I don`t know Mrp :-(

5:52 am

How the hell did you do that Ata Hari? I've been out of the loop for awhile.

5:52 am

morning everyone :-)

5:52 am

ata, we have an expression here in the States - doesn't know his a** from his elbow....I guess now you won't either!

5:53 am

slipped over on a slipway on the beach. smacked my head, smacked my neck, smacked my backside, grazed 1 elbow, ripped a hole in the other almost down to the bone

5:53 am

def of the 10 is to make hostile or unfriendly

5:54 am

wow, ata...are you okay otherwise? is the bleeding controlled?

5:54 am

Ouch! Not to mention wounds to the dignity. Poor Ata Hari, sounds infinitely painful. :(

5:54 am

5:54 am

ty ard, that made it simple

5:54 am

*sending out doctors wishes to Ata*

5:54 am

6:43 am

Yea for dan! G'd mornin'

6:44 am

good morning all, help with the lone i and lone a

6:45 am

any vets here. my cat is peeing outside the box. not attempt to get in the box. I cleaned the box yesterday and put in fresh litter and even mopped the bathroom floor. could this be just behavioral. I am moving next weekend.

6:46 am

I am getting tired of stepping in cat pee :(

6:46 am

any leg issues with jumping other places than in the box, peri (I am not a vet)

6:46 am

They're both 4 letter words peri......

6:46 am

***dives in to grid***

6:46 am

I think I will call the vet and make an appt for her to be seen this week just to check and see that there is nothing medical going on. was trying to avoid that since vets are so expensive but oh well

6:46 am

no dan

6:47 am

then I'd say 'annoyed at all the disruptive moving boxes'

6:48 am

if a cat is on a strict dry food for too long a period thier urine will get very strong and on occasion they will develop crystals in the urine and you may spot blood and this has cause aversion to the litter box in a cat we had..not to worry you unduly..but it happened to us and we had to modify the cat diet(that was with our very first kitty)

6:48 am

same here, peri -- not a cat person but dogs freak over change . . . and suitcases . . . and things getting moved around

6:49 am

I give here wet food several nights a week

6:49 am

*here*

6:49 am

*her* sigh

6:49 am

lol dont worry i can read typo

6:49 am

no blood sighted altho her urine does smell strong

6:50 am

mostly dry food with wet food on the weekends and sometimes during the week. maybe crystal?

6:50 am

if your in for a vet visit get the dr to check her ph anyways

6:51 am

I was hoping to avoid a vet visit due to cost. she is eating, drinking, playful, etc

6:51 am

and change to 80% wet 20% dry

someone said there was a t4 from the top left? can't find it - found the other two

6:51 am

not hiding under the bed as she did when she was sick several years ago

6:51 am

will do that crossy

6:52 am

thanks Dr. Crossy. Also on a lighter note the Seagrams Black Label is on sale for a dollar less than last month. So I plan to buy another bottle this week.

6:53 am

9:30 am

N--how are you? Poor thing--you had a crappy day yesterday.

9:31 am

I'm okay today... had a little discomfort but took two alleve and that worked... have vicadin in my pocket just in case :)

9:31 am

going to see a urologist today

9:31 am

hope to find out where the stupid stone is and from that, estimate how long this is going to go on

9:32 am

We took a hike up a small peak on Sat. We took along the 15 y.o. senior Bichon who has a heart condition. Guess who was first up to the peak?

9:32 am

I was supposed to go see my dad this week, for his 71st birthday and it's a miracle you're still alive party, but I think I'm staying right here

9:32 am

I had gall stones in the past--horrible pain. Kidney stones rank up there as one of worst pains ever.

9:32 am

oh, that's great bichon!

9:32 am

nrkii, daughter had kidney stone when she was pregnant. She had a stent put in and it worked

9:32 am

I had gall stones 9 years ago, gallbladder gone now

9:33 am

The old dog, Bichon? Yay for a happy dog!

9:33 am

At least you can part with your gall bladder.

9:33 am

We thought he's sleep alll the way home in the car. No way!

9:33 am

kidney stone definitely has been scarier experience... but now that they've diagnosed, at least I know the basics about what to do... water, drugs, wait

9:34 am

he must have had a blast bichon :)

9:34 am

We met lots of people on the trail who gave him attention.

9:36 am

god morning

9:36 am

good morning,,,,

9:36 am

It's wonderful that an old dog (or any animal, including humans) can enjoy life despite age or illness or injury.

9:36 am

hi harp!

9:36 am

Hi Jane.

9:36 am

too bad GOTTA isn't a word... in the sense of, I am drinking so much water, I gotta take a lot of breaks

9:37 am

I tried it too, N.

9:37 am

I'm hoping he'll live til 16 cause we are not getting any more dogs [sob].

9:37 am

My cold symptoms are moving into my chest. Yuck.

9:37 am

only 3 words left, and 2 of them are 4-letter words

9:37 am

oh, Scrabs, but that's the beginning of the end of the cold, right?

9:37 am

This grid is tough, as usual for the small grids.

9:37 am

it always is for me... head, chest, done

9:38 am

Anyone need clues, I'm down to 3

9:38 am

This just started Saturday afternoon.

9:38 am

quick-moving cold!

9:39 am

I think I got this from Mary's kids last Tuesday.

9:39 am

kids are infectious little critters, aren't they?

9:40 am

Especially wh4 one cuddles and hugs them.

9:40 am

if you spray them with Lysol first, that might help

9:40 am

though you should probably warn them to close their eyes and mouths

9:41 am

It's still worth it to carry the baby around and snuggle with her.

9:41 am

I bet

9:42 am

Down to 40 to go

9:42 am

2 left here

9:42 am

Did you sleep OK last night, N?

9:42 am

friend has had to deal with kidney stones for years. she tells me the pain from the stones is nothing compared to Trigeminal Neuralgia

9:42 am

nope... no pain, but I drank so much water, I was up every 90 minutes :)

9:43 am

Yes, that facial nerve pain is brutal for people--some resort to surgery.

9:43 am

apparently I was in bad shape by the time I got seen in emergency yesterday, because after 2 doses of morphine, the doctor and nurses kept telling me how much better I looked ("your color's back, and you're not covered in sweat anymore")

9:44 am

Yes, pain does that to people, N.

9:45 am

I must have looked very attractive :)

9:45 am

That's one way to separate the opiate-seekers from the ones in real pain.

9:46 am

hmmmm, good point Scrabbler... I think there was an opiate-seeker in a bed near me yesterday

9:46 am

oops, gotta take a break... brb

9:46 am

N, believe me, the ER staff appreciates the people who come to the ER because they need it for an emergency. You were a "real" patient for them. Not a whiner.

9:48 am

have you felt ostracized after submitting your resignation, Scrabbler?

9:48 am

And I must go take an on-line malpractice course--must finish by June 30th.

9:48 am

I tried to turn down the morphine

9:48 am

you resigned, Scrab???

9:49 am

Nope, BR, Richard is actually being really nice and cooperative. I realized that he sees me as his conscience and competition thus he is happy to get rid of me.

9:49 am

Yes, N, 2 wks ago! I have a new job and will start the last wk in Sept.

9:49 am

oh, good for you!!!

9:50 am

Do you have a pump, N?

9:50 am

when do you leave your current?

9:50 am

a pump?

9:50 am

There is a 120 day notice, to give the practice time to find a replacement.

9:51 am

oh, so no summer off for you... too bad

9:51 am

but still, CONGRATULATIONS!

9:51 am

You said that you turned down your morphine--I thought that you were sent home with some.

9:51 am

Nope, I need my paychecks, N.

9:51 am

no, tried to turn down the morphine in the hospital, but the nurse talked me into it

9:51 am

they sent me home with an Rx for vicadin, which I'm fine with

9:51 am

do malpractice courses use terms like iatrogenic and nosocomial?

9:52 am

I see. Well, pain deserves to be alleviated.

9:52 am

Yes, and difficult patients are a huge focus---far more likely to sue.

9:52 am

yeah, but I suspect I have a somewhat addictive nature, so I try to avoid things that might cause me trouble

9:52 am

Did you practice malpractice law, BR?

9:53 am

the opiate seekers and the moneymongers

9:53 am

no

9:53 am

I grew up in a house full of smokers, but never started... I don't drink much at all... etc

9:54 am

though I do have a caffeine addiction that I'm managing

9:54 am

okay, I think I need help for these last 2 words

9:54 am

With my first abd surgery (gall bladder 1990) I learned that I do not like opiates--nausea, weird head feeling, so with 4 subsequent abd/pelvic operations (1998-2003) I told the docs.

9:54 am

Morning all

9:55 am

Toradol (it's like IV ibuprofen) worked well for me.

9:55 am

Hi Rushie

9:55 am

I don't like surgery, mainly the part where they stab the back of your hand repeatedly

9:56 am

So how many words this grid?

9:56 am

Yes, needles hurt, don't they, Rush.

9:56 am

100 words and a tough grid.

9:56 am

needles have gotten much more efficient over the years

9:57 am

ta5?

9:57 am

How in the world am I going to get 100 words out of this grid...

9:57 am

And some nice medical people inject lidocaine in the skin area with a tiny needle before sticking in the IV catheter

9:57 am

Some have done it, Rushie.

10:21 am

10:21 am

Hi everyone! How is our grid today?

10:22 am

11:44 am

good afternoon Babblemaster

11:44 am

I was thinking the other day that it had been a while since we had been chatting. Glad to see you back again. Good holiday?

11:46 am

11:46 am

Good for you!

11:46 am

11:55 am

We're the ones sitting at the booth entitled 'Unwanted advice dispensed here'

i need help

11:55 am

Flipping hayfever is driving me nuts too, havent suffered with it much until the last few years :(

11:56 am

babbelmaster, you've got some words so you know how the puzzle works at least. Best advice I can give is to start looking for normal four letter words, then see if you can build them up.

11:56 am

Some of the words in this particular grid aren't very common, so don't be surprised if you don't know them.

11:57 am

Fireburps!!!!

11:58 am

Oh I have missed nagging FM.......shall I start now Haz or leave it for a while?

11:58 am

Congrats Judi !!

11:58 am

hurrah for Judi!

11:58 am

There are some animals in the grid - st5/10 (that means that the word starts with st and has five letters), rh5, st4/6, go4 and go5

11:58 am

I keep wanting to type in the word Agatha. it doesn't take it

11:58 am

Congratulations Judi!

11:59 am

Heya, ch1212! How's the book selling?

11:59 am

Hi ch 1212

11:59 am

lol cait!

11:59 am

So far, so good. Still working on getting the word out.

12:00 pm

It's helpful that Amazon finally put the "look inside" piece together, so people can preview.

12:00 pm

sa6/27?

12:00 pm

sa6/27 - Swahili journey, usually to see animals

12:01 pm

thanks

12:01 pm

There's another 'non-English' word that we've stolen.

12:01 pm

SA6/27 where you go to see lots of animals in the wild.

12:01 pm

You're welcome, harpjane.

12:02 pm

I'm off to run errands. Hope I can outrun the rain. See you all tomorrow!

12:02 pm

Bye Judi!

12:02 pm

Bye Judi, see you tomorrow, take care

12:04 pm

So how was the holiday cait?

12:06 pm

anybody want three cats?

12:06 pm

herin?

12:06 pm

hi all -- back for the last 25, but was stuck last night when I gave it up

12:06 pm

Not long enough Fm...........we were a about 1 mile from Skala so it was a bit hot walking, but we had a taxi back everytime.But the food was great .I always enjoy Greek food.

12:07 pm

oh whats up Katie?

12:07 pm

Hello cybernan.

12:07 pm

No thanks Katie, my dog would think they were her new toys

12:07 pm

Hi nan !!

12:08 pm

A frog, in the lounge, hiding under cables, can't be got out ahhhhhhhhhh

12:08 pm

when in times of crisis play babble - my moto lol

12:09 pm

Oh Katie ........I suppose its better than a frog in the throat though

12:09 pm

lol poor frog!

12:09 pm

Have you rung your local vet? Believe me, it's the sort of thing I've had. 'How do you get rid of bats' 'How do you get rid of woodlice?' 'I found a pigeon six hours ago (this was after midnight) What should I do?'

12:09 pm

I feel sorry for it but we can't work out how to get it out without hurting it so are hoping it hops out soon.

12:10 pm

Haz - was the answer phone at 6pm and NOT at gone midnight - honestly some people!

12:10 pm

ha 4 x3 (from the left h) -- missing?

12:10 pm

Have you got any sort of net, or do you know anybody who fishes?

12:10 pm

Be kind and gentle to the frog, and do not call him names...

12:10 pm

Vi!!!!!!

12:10 pm

Hello Vicuna!

12:10 pm

As "Slimy skin," or "Polly-wog," or likeise "Ugly James."

12:10 pm

Hi Vi!!

12:10 pm

Hi vic

12:11 pm

Or "Gape-a-grin," or "Toad-gone-wrong," or "Billy Bandy-knees:"

12:11 pm

The frog is justly sensitive to epithets like these.

12:11 pm

Have you tried kissing it?..........He may be your prince that has come for you

12:11 pm

Hello, all!

12:11 pm

clue for ta5/10 please

12:11 pm

ha5/22 comes from that tile

12:11 pm

LOL Vi

12:12 pm

lovely words Vi :) and love the pics of the quilts in yr icon.

12:12 pm

ha5/22? intriguing.

12:12 pm

ta5/10 - same structure of word as Lone Ranger's friend - or result of too much sun plus not from

12:12 pm

we are being kind to him. The main problems is that to avoid the cats he has buried himself amongst the computer cables so we can't get a net/cardboard to help him out into the garden

12:13 pm

Thanks, FM. Have you been doing any embroidery recently?

12:13 pm

ha5/22 - combine first letters of my name with first letters of Queen's daughter

12:13 pm

I take it you have removed the cats from the situation?

12:13 pm

ty haz

12:14 pm

Ah, there are Haz and the princess together int he same sentence again.

12:14 pm

:( not for ages but I do tend to slack off from it in the summer.

12:14 pm

ty haz

12:14 pm

You're welcome!

12:14 pm

No they have just lost interest as has hubby who has just left the house. I keep checking on him but he won't move

12:15 pm

Oh well. I haven't done any sewing in ages either. Too many hobbies; I can't pursue them all at once. Since I've been on the writing kick I haven't time for quilting.

12:15 pm

the frog that is not the hubby who suddenly was needed somewhere else urgently lol

12:15 pm

Poor thing must be frightened........not the frog.......hubby!

12:15 pm

Will he move if you approach him?

12:16 pm

That's been my problem as well, Vi. Too many distractions do prevent me from getting to my quilting the way I'd like.

12:16 pm

nope even tried shining a torch on him but he knows he is safe where he is, why can't they just leave these things outside and eat felix!!

12:16 pm

(All written in deeply ironic, nay falsehood font)

12:16 pm

*snort* yea right Haz!

12:16 pm

Poor Haz. After all, you've got to get all your poking yourself in the eye done before you can get around to sewing.

12:17 pm

Then get a box or something to put over the frog to at least confine him. Wait until husband gets back to work out what to do next....

12:17 pm

It's getting the needle threaded that is only the start of the misery.

12:18 pm

Coax him out with tasty flies delicately prepared with a soupcon of worm sauce.

12:18 pm

cats have now been throw out, hadn't thought of it before, hopefully there will be some hoppig soon

12:18 pm

*hopping even

12:18 pm

mmm worm sauce :)

12:18 pm

There's some hoping going on already. Can the hopping be far behind?

12:19 pm

LOL

12:19 pm

Good! I'll be forearmed for any frog removal query that comes my way.

12:19 pm

How about throwing a tea towel over the frog and kind of capturing him that way?

12:20 pm

Babble really does expand your thought process

12:20 pm

let's hope it's not at midnight, I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks that is reasonable behaviour, even if the the cats were dying I would think twice about calling at that time on night

12:20 pm

great idea, will go and get one so when there is movement I will get him

12:20 pm

These sorts of problems should have been in the Krypton Factor.

12:21 pm

*smug* - I do dispense useful advice sometimes.

12:21 pm

Do you have any tea towels with butterflies or something on them? That will seem more enticing, I'm sure.

12:21 pm

I agree Haz the next question please...........

12:22 pm

comletely phobic of butterflies and moths nothing in the house has them on lol

12:22 pm

lol

12:22 pm

I think caitlyn should answer any holiday related questions. What's the best suntan lotion, that kind of thing.

12:22 pm

Well, I didn't even bother asking whether you had any tea towels with mosquitos on them.

12:22 pm

once had to give a book to charity which I hadn't read because it had a pencil drawing of a month on every page

12:22 pm

And first aid, too, of course.

12:23 pm

Always ready to please

12:23 pm

advice on greek food could be give

12:23 pm

*given

12:23 pm

LOL!!!

12:23 pm

Ata could give answers on how to deal with infected elbows

12:23 pm

Wouldn't you know it? Time to get to the kitchen. Hold fire on any frog/pigeon questions until later!

12:23 pm

what does a month look like? is June light and airy?

12:23 pm

I can never remember the names Katie........but you must have the stuffed vine leaves

12:24 pm

clue for the ag 7 please

12:24 pm

see you soon Haz

12:24 pm

Hope Mr Frog gets out safely!

12:24 pm

eeek think we are about to have a thunder storm, the wind has whipped up and the sky has gone so dark!

12:24 pm

June here so far has been dark, cool, damp, and unconvincing.

12:24 pm

Oh horrible FM, I hate them

12:24 pm

lol jmc didn't even see that typo

12:24 pm

dolmades are teh stuffed grape leafs

12:24 pm

Bye, Haz! DOn't get mixed up and start cooking frogs and pigeons!

12:25 pm

I must get to the kitchen............see you all tomorrow, take care all bye

12:25 pm

I love storms, back in a bit :)

12:29 pm

(Look at that aughty FM escaping the PB by running off to watch the ra4.)

12:29 pm

naught, too

12:29 pm

Aargh! NAUGHTY.

12:30 pm

Help -- what does "zorionak" mean? What language is that? Just received an email from a monolingual Spanish speaking friend, but do not recognize that word -- doesn't seem Spanish.

12:30 pm

It's not in my SPanish dictionary, either.

12:30 pm

Maybe it's a typo and is supposed to say "Hola."

12:30 pm

LOL Vi!

12:31 pm

Means happy birthday?

12:31 pm

in basque?

12:32 pm

That's what a quick googling implies.

12:32 pm

Huh ... well, okay. It's not my birthday, but ... mmm. Oh, he is basque -- definitely.

12:32 pm

have you tried looking up like, versions of it with one letter missing, in case she inserted something extra? or...

12:32 pm

Congratulations, in Basque

12:32 pm

ah, vi so clever.

12:32 pm

it appears to be basques

12:32 pm

It's a birthday song in spanish

12:32 pm

Oh, congratulations. More widely applicable.

12:32 pm

for happy or good for you

12:32 pm

One of the most famous. Google it.

12:32 pm

well now we know you are to be congratulated! but we don't know what for.

12:32 pm

Hello, hursh!

12:33 pm

Ah, congratulations ... mmmm... well, maybe he thinks it's my birthday or something. I'll email back and ask. In any case, thanks for the translation!

12:33 pm

hullo vi!

12:33 pm

hi hursh

12:33 pm

12:33 pm

Yay Boobear. Feels good, deosn't it! =)

12:33 pm

Basque for happy birthday

12:33 pm

yes

12:34 pm

Thanks Katie and all. I think he's confusing me with someone else :)

12:34 pm

wtg Boo

12:34 pm

He's certainly confusing you, anyway!

12:34 pm

Boobear, will you clue us?

12:34 pm

related to the ag7, i suppose... hmmmm

12:34 pm

an10/119 - to make an enemy of someone

12:35 pm

(related more in derivation than modern usage)

12:35 pm

ah, but not related in the way i thought... because not an ag at all! lol

12:35 pm

ty vic

12:35 pm

dont get that cl8e Vicuna any thing else?

12:36 pm

when a picnic insect is in torment?

12:36 pm

Oh, I saw that, when I founs the ag7, but forgot to enter it ... thanks

12:36 pm

similar to a greek tragedy?

12:37 pm

to make into a picnic-insect-sided geometric figure?

12:37 pm

(now I'm really stretching)

12:37 pm

stretching is good for the muscle

12:38 pm

tipping down with rain at the cricket, turning over to the football

12:38 pm

offer the cricket to the frog!

12:39 pm

I'm now ignoring the frog situations, if all else fails pretent it isn't happening

12:39 pm

Fair enough.

12:40 pm

I pretty much ignore the French as well ..

12:41 pm

Should Katie McG start calling her visitor a Freedom toad?

12:41 pm

lol vic

12:42 pm

I can't ignore the french since the French catholic priest lives next door to me.

12:43 pm

I can't ignore the Haitians either

12:44 pm

If KatieMcG can ignore someone camping out in her house, surely you can ignore your next-door neighbors, jmcnrick!

12:44 pm

After all, ignorance is bliss.

12:45 pm

Not that I would know.

how long does it usually take for the lickety split clues to show up?

or do they just not do them for some puzzles?

12:49 pm

I think he just doesn't do them some days. But there may be a list on Babblers Anonymous.

12:49 pm

viiiiiiiiiiiii :)

12:50 pm

go here for a list, germericanqt: http://tinyurl.com/lg7tzn

12:50 pm

Ataaaaaaaa!

12:50 pm

Hi ata, how is the elbow?

12:50 pm

slooooowly getting better. still bloody painful though!

12:50 pm

Poor poor elbow!

12:52 pm

apparently lickety's father is in the hospital with prostate cancer

12:53 pm

Oh, ugh. =(

12:53 pm

well there went all my "love me, I'm ill" claims :P

12:54 pm

We can love you even if you aren't the illest person around, Ata.

12:54 pm

you don't need to be ill for us to love you anyway, silly.

12:55 pm

ah, me and vi are so in sync

12:55 pm

*grins*

12:55 pm

=D

12:55 pm

I love you both tooooo

12:55 pm

and I *love* your quilts, Vi

12:56 pm

Thanks, Ata. What a love-fest this is turning out to be!

12:57 pm

that g-t-h is really messing with me, keep thinking it's a g-h-t

12:58 pm

Many of the letters are in the wrong places today. =p

12:58 pm

and the wrong letters too

1:00 pm

i still haven't figured out the best way to convince korean students to relax a bit and not get ulcers. i do my best, but i have no data about whether i am effective.

1:00 pm

did you always intend to make a quilt for the baby? and did you curse when you realised you were having twins?

1:01 pm

lol, Ata. I did curse a bit when I learned they were twins, but not because of the quilts! And yes, I intended to make them quilts all along. These are only crib size and pretty quick and easy. The twin-bed-sized ones were more work.

1:02 pm

I think your definition of "quick and easy" differs from mine!

1:02 pm

i always found kmart to be very little work for a pretty decent quilt...

1:04 pm

Indeed, hurshy, the prices for quilts are quite insanely cheap when you know what it takes to put one together. But I really like making the small ones.

1:04 pm

sorry the pesky staffers again

1:04 pm

I'm lazy enough that my enjoyment of the larger ones always wears off before they're entirely finished.

1:04 pm

well, of course, there are plenty of quilts that are NOT insanely cheap, too, that are the better, gorgeous, handmade ones.

1:04 pm

its easier to ignore a frog since they are quieter than my neighbors

1:05 pm

lol, jmcnrick!

1:06 pm

I don't have A/C and one night last summer the priest and a couple of friends were loudly singing french drinking songs at 1 a.m. on a work night!

1:06 pm

now that I have babble I guess I won't go yell at them in my nightie this year

1:07 pm

It didn't lull you gently to sleep, I gather.

1:07 pm

no they were on the front porch of the house

1:07 pm

babble, promoting peace and harmony around the globe...

1:07 pm

priest! outrageous!

1:08 pm

then there was the late weeknight party with a stereo on the front porch . . .

1:08 pm

I have less trouble from the frat boys

1:08 pm

Dr G's next t-shirt design can be "pe5/14, lo4/7, Ba6/36"

1:09 pm

:)

1:09 pm

lol vic

1:09 pm

I really really want to make up some really cool babble t-shirts

1:09 pm

it's easy, ata

1:09 pm

but you know this.

1:09 pm

I want the Puppies Promote Peace t-shirts ;-)

1:10 pm

I'm nice enough to not do it behind DrG's back

1:10 pm

i like www.zazzle.com because you can make your own and also put up the design for sale, and then if anyone else happens to want it, you get a smidge of royalty!

1:11 pm

well, you could always design them and see if he'd buy your designs... or if he wouldn't mind if you made them yourself...

1:11 pm

Fireworks for me!!! Can I help anybody?

1:11 pm

Hey, I just looked up today's icon theme and it's "pets." I'm surprised you aren't taking advantage of it!

1:11 pm

I will have to look at that hursh I have been talking about a "Trade Teddy" t-shirt (it's a Nationals baseball thing) for forty forevers

1:11 pm

Yay for Soodlebum!

1:11 pm

whoo hoo soodle

1:11 pm

yes, indeed, you can help somebody!

1:11 pm

Where do you see what the days theme is?

1:11 pm

I could ... but I don't spend my time on possibilities of getting paid these days! :P

1:12 pm

namely me. i need 6's. i have the fa6 and the sa6 and that's all.

1:12 pm

I have zo4/9, any clue for the other?

1:12 pm

sprite told me a few weeks ago that Monday was going to be pets for the foreseeable future unless something specific comes up

1:12 pm

Under sprite's profile. You can find her at the top of rankings and click on her.

1:12 pm

Oh, lol, jmcnrick. Then I guess there's no hurry to rush to change mine, seeing as I have only the one pet.

1:13 pm

Ta 6 is TA 4/5, followed by (roman garment)t**a

1:13 pm

Oooh! NBT for me! Quite an accomplishment today!

1:13 pm

TY Soodle!

1:13 pm

ZO 6....zo followed by the song the diva sings

1:13 pm

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

Thanks, Soodlebum.

1:14 pm

TY Again!

1:14 pm

thank you

1:14 pm

i thought a hagira was a muslim garment of some sort

1:14 pm

or rather, middle eastern, i don't know if i mean muslim.

1:14 pm

hajira I think

1:15 pm

ah.

1:15 pm

hegira is an escape, as Mohammed did at one point

1:15 pm

so i'm really close one way or another...

1:15 pm

or hegira! vi knows these things!

1:16 pm

Well, Vi knows these things vaguely and quickly Googles to confirm! lol

1:17 pm

that works :)

1:17 pm

that still leaves one missing 6 for me... *not to be bothersome*

1:17 pm

sa6?

1:17 pm

are there two sa6?

1:17 pm

there's 2 of them. or ta6

1:18 pm

aha, ok, then i do need one of them.

1:18 pm

i have sa6/27.

1:18 pm

the other is a plural

1:19 pm

Ah, thanks, Ata.

1:19 pm

*pokes Ata and giggles ot self*

1:19 pm

oho, the chinese cat

1:19 pm

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

And now school is almost out and I must be off to meet darling progeny.

1:20 pm

Farewell all you lovely silly people!

1:21 pm

bye dearest!

1:22 pm

get this. my husband knows someone who just named their kid Odin. isn't that ... um ... sort of weirdly presumptous?

1:23 pm

either that or they love Neil Gaiman novels

1:23 pm

hi soodle and all

1:23 pm

but the middle name is Howard. Odin Howard. it's like they can't decide if they want him to be a bully or a geek.

1:23 pm

I used to know someone called Thor

1:25 pm

I did too, Ata -- a blond, Greek God sort of looking young man. Exchange student. Stood in our philosophy class and announced "I am Thor!" Even the teacher was stunned! :D

1:26 pm

lmao I bet!

1:26 pm

see i think if you're going to do that, you have to really go for it. Odin Thor, something like that. but Odin Howard? it just doesn't... go.

1:27 pm

perhaps they liked Howard the Duck too

1:27 pm

is there an O5 by any chance?

1:27 pm

yep

1:27 pm

plural o5

1:27 pm

last word is a z 6 -- any clues?

1:28 pm

duh, i have that one. um, i meant are there any other o5's. which i guess there aren't.

1:28 pm

zo + song

1:28 pm

nope

1:28 pm

then what O4 am i missing? hmmm

1:28 pm

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

Thanks...I'm learning a lot of new words today!

1:49 pm

yw

1:55 pm

hi all

clue for the ta6/27? ... please...

2:00 pm

hi beach...sorry, I don't have any 6's

hi Pini!... thanks anyway..

2:02 pm

How does the scoring work?

2:02 pm

the first number is the number of letters/tiles, the 2nd number is the word value...

2:03 pm

4 letter words are the tile points x 1; 5 letter words are the tiles points x 2; etc.

2:03 pm

Ah...that helps then.

2:04 pm

so the ta6/27 = 6 letters + point value x 3 = 27 (or tile face value total of 9)

2:04 pm

did that make sense?

2:04 pm

Very much so...only 51 words to go...thanks!

2:04 pm

ta6.27 'tight' & cats & d**s

2:05 pm

* smile *

2:05 pm

that's a word, lynxxx? wow...yet another one!

2:05 pm

btw: hi lynxxx ;)

2:05 pm

Pini!!!!!

2:05 pm

JMC!!

2:05 pm

hello Pini and all

2:06 pm

I been missing you!

2:06 pm

I've been missing me, too! er...I mean you!!!! LOL

2:06 pm

My dau is moving to a new place and I went to help paint (she supervised since she's preggers)

nice clue lynx... thx!!

2:07 pm

Maybe but I still haven't got it!

2:08 pm

ask away, ian!

2:08 pm

that was nice of you pini

2:08 pm

love the explanation of the points system since even after reading th4 I have no clue how it owrks

2:08 pm

works

2:09 pm

I'm sore now, tho, jmc...I had to paint the bathroom ceiling... oy...

2:09 pm

Glad it helped, jmc ;)

2:09 pm

I just look and see if the number is reallly big I figure there is a high point tile in it

2:09 pm

it didn't LOL

2:09 pm

poor baby

2:09 pm

Yea momma Pini!

2:10 pm

*passing a warm towel for pini's muscles"

2:10 pm

BR!!!!

2:10 pm

morning BabRab

2:10 pm

Oh, I forgot to say I didn't even need a ladder!!!

2:10 pm

starts with ta, other 4 letters' score is 7. So I'm still clueless, other than there can't be a z in it!

2:11 pm

darn low ceilings

2:12 pm

ta4/7 = 4 letter word starting with TA...since each of those tiles are worth 1 point each, the other 2 letters must equal 5 (so look for a 2 and a 3 maybe)

2:12 pm

hello, lyn

2:12 pm

(or a 4 + 1)

2:12 pm

Ian - do you have ta4.5 meaning tight?

2:13 pm

Nope, and I still don't

2:14 pm

I ta** I taw a puddy tat ..

2:14 pm

ta4/5 = ta + **erus (female part)

7:08 pm

yw judy

7:08 pm

7:08 pm

7:08 pm

the orange is likely the betadine prep

7:09 pm

ohh.. set it off with some nice purple high heels ardilla and you will look great

7:09 pm

I imagine high heels sound like hell at the moment

7:09 pm

i guess i have no cast so i could do therapy sooner so i don't get scar tissue ag5

7:09 pm

personally i like yellow with orange

7:10 pm

Love purple orangey

7:10 pm

good ard - the seldom cast them anymore... mostly removable casts is stabilized so therapy can start earlier

7:10 pm

I think bruising is my karma

7:10 pm

pam's wandering again...where has that girl gone to?

7:10 pm

anything other than a soft sock on the right foot would be hell right now especially on crutches with stairs

7:11 pm

even mine with 3 fractures was in a removable black brace thingy

7:11 pm

getting hungry -- off to forage byeee

7:11 pm

well reid, then you are really stuck,

go green go!

8:26 pm

good luck, reid. the last ones are the ones that drive us over the edge!

8:26 pm

I guess, given the news about Lickety's Dad, that we old timers will be posting our lists more often. I think L's time will be taken up elsewhere, and understandbly so.

8:26 pm

All righty then ..

8:26 pm

Hi Torg.

8:26 pm

I read about L's dad. Sending them my t's and p's.

8:26 pm

TORGIE!!

Hi torg. how are you.

8:28 pm

reid - you can be stubborn and not ask for a clue or you can ask and it will appear. :)

8:28 pm

Heyas .. I am well ..

8:28 pm

haha. i'll struggle for a while first.

8:29 pm

I got a first after gardening this evening - soil down my bra!

8:29 pm

"goth" not found ..

8:29 pm

No idea how I achieved that!

8:29 pm

were you rollin' in the clover, Jac?

8:30 pm

Interesting plowing technique ..

8:30 pm

ok, could i have a clue for the last to5/10 ?

8:30 pm

Nope. nothing so exciting Torg. I was moving plants from my runner bean pots and setting the pots and canes up ready to put the bean plants in later.

8:31 pm

2000 pounds + half hawaiian goose

8:31 pm

to - sounds like a 2000lbs

oooh, I got a great B day gift....the "Topsy Turvy" and upside down tomato grower. I am going to hopefully plant it this week with the sweet yellow tomatos.

Does she do back rubs, too? I could do with one of those.

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

I would like Hydro-therapy please

8:34 pm

like the town in New Mexico asg

8:34 pm

ta4 - makes lace

8:35 pm

ink marks permanently put on skin are nicknamed these

8:35 pm

8:35 pm

got it, shoot me now

8:35 pm

ta4 all folks

8:35 pm

... UNO

8:35 pm

ruru - hands-on therapy is so much nicer to start with, then hit the water.

8:36 pm

*groan* ruru

8:36 pm

go Green!

girn

8:36 pm

ruru - you've watch too much Tweety and Sylvester!

8:36 pm

i'd go for a nice full body massage or some reflexology.

8:36 pm

I haven't had a back rub in over a decade ... I'm due ..

8:37 pm

i think you may be overdue, tor

8:38 pm

We're all in need of a massage here - so where's the Babbl therapist who's going to do us all for free? (If you'll pardon the expression.)

8:38 pm

here I am...and yes, I give AMAZING back rubs, by the way - years of theatre training.....know where all the hot spots are.

8:38 pm

I need aromatherapy too

8:38 pm

8:39 pm

fireworks... last word was ta6/27

I needa nap and I believea bitof Psychotherapy.

8:39 pm

I've got lots of books on massage, I really must try them out on Beloved using the illustrations.

8:39 pm

oooh, trif, cmon on over

8:39 pm

whooo hoooo GREEN!!

8:39 pm

how'd you find that asg?

8:40 pm

wow.. I am impressed

8:40 pm

monkey see, monkey monkey

8:40 pm

Trif - how soon can you get here? Both me and my love need your tender touch.

8:40 pm

Yay AsG!

8:40 pm

hmmmm. jacula and her beloved are going to use a book with "illustrations"

8:41 pm

as soon as you send me the ticket

8:41 pm

ta6 is a fish but it sounds like an ugly tusked pig. What was the name of that one they made a soft toy of?

8:42 pm

not a fish that I know

8:42 pm

Trif - LOL! Not the Kama Sutra - we'd injure ourselves/

8:42 pm

toy fish or pig, Jac?

8:42 pm

(that 's what I was thinking too jac..lol)

8:42 pm

toy pig

8:43 pm

oh, SURE jacula!!!! the old "we would injure ourselves" excuse, to knock us off the trail....

8:43 pm

(although I am willing to still give it the ol college try)

8:43 pm

I'm off - a few emails, some laundry, and tv...productive night still ahead!

8:43 pm

g'night all... tx for the clues! ***poof***

8:43 pm

Enjoy, ASG!

8:43 pm

pam!!!!!!!!!

8:43 pm

LOL

8:44 pm

Wilber, from Charlottes web? or the warthog from Lion King?

8:44 pm

G'nite AsG ..

8:44 pm

night, Green

8:44 pm

If kje were here, she might remind you about your ribs and that ol college try

8:44 pm

Pumba from 'The Lion King'/ That was the toy wart***'.

8:44 pm

LOLOL, ruru

8:44 pm

(you want my leg where?)

8:45 pm

ahh, my next suggestion would have been Piglet.

8:45 pm

hi all ... here to finish ... is it possible?

8:46 pm

Hi Pini! yes, it's possible

8:46 pm

It must be ..

8:47 pm

hmmm ... 30 more to go and I'm pulling some tough teeth

8:47 pm

(keeps mouth closed)

8:48 pm

(for the first time ever)

go rur ru go.

8:48 pm

LOLOLOL

8:48 pm

ROFL

8:48 pm

(mmmphffff)

8:49 pm

biab, weird noise outside, must go investigate

Pam!

8:49 pm

(don't worry lbd.. that is Jacula and her beloved practicing new ones)

8:49 pm

Hang on, what did I miss when stepdaughtet just came down to get a drink of water? Legs in impossible places? Teeth being pulled? Weird noises? What's going on here? LOL

8:50 pm

We're having a party, jac! Can't you tell?

8:50 pm

LOL

8:50 pm

Plus gossip about my sex life!

8:50 pm

(sure.. you weren't here)

8:50 pm

Well, tomorrow's theme IS chandeliers (for swinging off). ROFLOL.

8:50 pm

How is the step-d doing, jac? And how are YOU doing?

8:50 pm

(BRITS gone WILD!)

8:51 pm

jacula, how is it going with her, btw?

8:51 pm

I'm on a roll...found 1 word (and because my monkeys were working so hard, I don't even know what it was!)

8:51 pm

RURU, you crack me up. I shouldn't even tell you that--it only encourages you

8:51 pm

:P pini

8:51 pm

*** beaming ***

go pinik!

43 more here.

8:52 pm

Trif - I think it must be the hardest thing in the world to do when neither of you asked for it but you've had it thrust upon you and there is one happy real parent/partner in the middle.

8:53 pm

Except that he isn't happy 'cos work's going kaput and he can see both of you are stressed.

8:53 pm

oh dear. but can I say, I admire what you and the beloved are doing SO MUCH. that girl is gonna get her chance, because you two are sticking by her.

8:53 pm

I can not even imagine, Jac, and yet, I have a good feeling that it will turn out well.

8:54 pm

In fact, we (me and her) just had a little chat about that).

8:55 pm

Pam/Trif, I hope so. If I could just get over how much of her mother I see in her (she can't help that!).

8:55 pm

is she behaving pretty nicely, or is she giving you a go?

8:55 pm

try to see her as a little baby, when she is frosting you. It often helps me.

8:56 pm

There are only two people who have been in my life that I can truly say I hate - one is the serial marraige breaker who broke up my marriage and the other is my partner's wife.

8:57 pm

No she can't help that, but she has you around to moderate it!

8:57 pm

you can hate my ex, if you are looking to add to the list...

hell all im new and i found 30 words in 15 min

8:58 pm

Trif - she's 14 - so sometimes she's nice and sometimes she's nasty. Her Mum doesn't seem to have done anything to give her any common sense and so I have to keep trying to drum some in, nicely. But, obvously, she sometimes flounces off saying, 'I can't do anything right!'

8:58 pm

you can hate my MIL

8:58 pm

that comes with the puberty territory, I am afraid.

8:59 pm

I don't need more people to hate. I feel rotten for feeling hate for anyone.

8:59 pm

hi master...welcome to the grid...

8:59 pm

ahhh teenagers, can't live with them and their too tough to eat

8:59 pm

love me jac!

8:59 pm

lol lbd

8:59 pm

welcome babblemaster, hi Jmc

8:59 pm

It's difficult when it isn't your own child, though. Your own children you love and they know you love them.

8:59 pm

hi all

9:00 pm

oooh, they're not their

9:00 pm

torg I have been drinking your cyber gin

9:00 pm

sorry

9:00 pm

Hi ardilla!

9:00 pm

my computer locked up

9:00 pm

hi ardi

9:00 pm

lol lbd - in new england we say "can't live with em, can't run em through a wood chipper"

9:00 pm

Cheers jmc ..

9:00 pm

hey all, is there a list somewhere?

9:01 pm

jac th4 sounds like my own flesh and blood

i found the 10

9:01 pm

Trif, that sounds like something they'd do down south!

9:01 pm

hi lbd jmc pini tor

9:01 pm

Pini, Jac put one up in babanon

9:01 pm

hi babb

9:01 pm

thx lbd

9:01 pm

if nothing else we learned from FARGO that we can run them through a wood chipper

9:01 pm

nah, some swamp yankee tried it years back, and it didn't go so well. apparently the victim wasn't frozen enough, and jammed the thing up, evidence everywhere. gross!!!

9:02 pm

Then you get your stepdaughter who's mother rejected her and she's raw, of course she is. But, amazingly, she accepts texts and 'phone calls from her Mum and seems to have forgiven her for what she did. Her Mum, don't let me scream now, has somehow made her believe that what happened back home was Step's fault.

9:02 pm

omg, i forgot about FARGO!

9:02 pm

Hi Pink. There's a list in my bio and on BabAnon.

9:02 pm

I need to rest my eyes... Have a great day/night all!''

9:02 pm

Night, Pam

9:02 pm

jac, her mum sounds like a manipulative piece of junk. Step will realize it....

9:02 pm

bye pam...love you!

9:03 pm

as i was trying to say earlier...my dad won't buy the teen cigarettes or let him smoke

9:03 pm

Jac, amazingly enough, your stepd, probably has figured out that her mother is unbalanced.

9:03 pm

Hi jmc.

9:03 pm

don't worry jac...you're not evil

9:03 pm

good for him, Ard!

9:03 pm

thx jac

9:04 pm

hang in there jac wh4 she is older she will remember you were stable

9:04 pm

ok I'm back...

9:04 pm

i worry what bad influence my stepmom will have on her daughter my sole sister by blood grrr

9:04 pm

PINI!!!

9:04 pm

I'm a stepmonster, Jac. Son thinks i'm pretty cool, knowing that his biological is a nut case.

9:04 pm

JMC!!!! (didya git'r dun yit?)

9:04 pm

9:05 pm

except its two girls

9:05 pm

shoot th4 means you are do4

9:05 pm

uh, not quite!!!

9:05 pm

Ard, be there for your sister, let her talk, rant and ramble, just be there and try not to make judgements. She'll know that you are her anchor

9:05 pm

no I have been busy drinking and talking to my 23 year old bambino

9:06 pm

23 left

9:06 pm

29 left here...

9:06 pm

any help for the sa6/27

9:06 pm

Thanks for the support lbd and everyone. I might have a few more wobbles before we're stable and I'm glad that you're all here whilst she still feels like a cuckoo in my nest.

9:06 pm

ooo I am ahead (for at least three minutes)

im on my 9th beer

9:06 pm

plural of the sa5.14 before it, cj

9:06 pm

9:09 pm

currently my little sister adores me; she's 10

9:09 pm

yw pini although that means you are creeping up on me *looking behind me*

9:09 pm

this grid is unreal. how can just 100 words be such a wrench?

9:09 pm

I love my kids, but I made it plain to other half when we got together 6 years ago that I didn't want any more children. Him being 12 years younger than me and only having one child. However, he assured me that he didn't want more children and so we set up together. Both my kids (mid to late teens then) were still at home then. He knew we came as a package. Howver, his 8-yr-old daughter only came as a fortnightly package then, and has done so fo last 6 years, except for holidays away for a week.

9:10 pm

oh, creeping soooo fast it's scary!! (NOT!)

9:10 pm

d*** u pinikula!

9:10 pm

looking at the s in the right bottom corner

9:11 pm

brb I need my fourth gin

9:11 pm

18 ..

9:11 pm

It is so hard to do and stay sa4 Jac,

9:11 pm

<-- looking at just about anything to find 28 more !

9:11 pm

(torg do you want some?)

9:11 pm

The very last thing I needed at the age of 52 was a moodly 14-year-old thruston me full time. And her Dad's work has changed now so he's out of the transport office and back on the road, probably away most of the week. Not his fault, not hers, not mine. I still want to kill her bloody so-called birth mother though.

9:11 pm

I think I need dinner...you know, food for the brain...

9:11 pm

go torg go

9:12 pm

Ard, 10 is really an important time for her to know that you are there for her. She's getting to that "lovely" stage of puberty, and we all know how ugly that can get.

9:12 pm

Vitamin V for me please ..

9:12 pm

oh yes we do

9:12 pm

i think meditating on the death of her birth mother may well have positive aspects

9:12 pm

what is vitamin v, tor?

9:12 pm

do you need grey goose or will the house brand do, torg?

9:13 pm

Vodka, Trif

9:13 pm

duh! sorry

9:13 pm

LOL, jmc! But if she dies I can't mediate on ways to kill her.

9:13 pm

I used to be a vodka person but moved on to Jack and for the summer gin

9:13 pm

ah yes, contemplation of son's biological helped us through some really tense times.

9:14 pm

but you don't need her to die so much as to meditate on ways for her to die

9:14 pm

And, even if she died, I see her in certain expressions and flashes of the eye in Stepdaughter.

9:14 pm

(and some people think that pacifirst don't thinkg evil thoughts) bwa hahahah

9:14 pm

i am much too brain dead to finish this, i think. have a lovely night, all

9:14 pm

sweet dreams, jes

9:15 pm

'Night Jess.

9:15 pm

oh jes I just came back!

9:15 pm

bye jes!

9:15 pm

night jes

9:15 pm

jac you can find the good in birth mother in those flashes

9:15 pm

<<still getting over the sa6 I missed

9:15 pm

quick poll: what is everyone's favorite way to get rid of poison ivy rash?

9:16 pm

those are the good of Birth Mother because they are in stepdaughter

9:16 pm

I still can't come to terms with how a mother could belive her possibly paedo b/f over her daughter, and, even if she didn't, choose him over her.

9:16 pm

aloe Tirf

9:16 pm

gold bond

9:16 pm

and cordason cream

9:16 pm

well clearly her birth mother is a sh** and you are not

9:17 pm

Lemon juice ..

9:17 pm

let her konw that you choose her over a roll in the hay

9:17 pm

I see nothing good from her mother. Nothing at all. Not the tempers, the flouncesor the tantrums. And, most especially not, the low self esteem.

9:17 pm

*cortisone

9:17 pm

oatmeal bath or poultice

9:17 pm

hmm. thanks all. people all over the place on PI....

9:18 pm

I know how you feel Jac, just know that there has to be good in the teen, in might be hard to find though

9:18 pm

ah, but jac, those are behaviours, and those can be changed.

9:18 pm

but Jac even the most evil lowest creep has something good

9:18 pm

so assume that whatever you see in stepdau is the very little good in ex

9:18 pm

have to dig deep

9:19 pm

jmc - I'm not sure her mother does. I've asked all of her family, even her mother...

9:19 pm

besides the most wonderful teen in the world leaves a great deal to be desired

9:19 pm

ditto that jmc

9:19 pm

your not sure he mother does what?

9:19 pm

history repeats itself...sadly

9:20 pm

I think she is a woman who professes to be intelligent because she got a degree in journalism but is actually very stupid and shallow.

9:20 pm

i try to be nice to son's biological, thinking that at least she gave birth to a lovely child.

9:20 pm

okay there is a difference between book smart and street smart

9:20 pm

someone who has to convince everyone she is intelligent is obviously lacking sense

9:21 pm

getting a degree doesn't make you smart

9:21 pm

I've been nice to step's Mum up to now. But I can't forgive her for this.

9:21 pm

you may make the difference so that this girl grows to be a woman who is very much worth knowing

9:21 pm

that is the best to hope for Jac

9:22 pm

torg should I upgrade the vodka for you?

9:22 pm

try to see it as an upside for you to have a chance to mould this young woman into something that isn't her mother

9:22 pm

jmc - I will take your words and etch them on my heart in the times past and to come when I think I'm not up to the task.xx

9:22 pm

precisely lbd

9:22 pm

you are soooooo up to the task jac

9:22 pm

the very fact that you caer makes all the difference in the world

9:23 pm

{{{{{{jac}}}}}}

9:23 pm

*care

9:23 pm

so now that I have solved the worlds problems---I have 23 to go

9:24 pm

lbd - if I can do one thing, it will be that and it's what I've been trying to do. Unfortunately. that's led to a few floumces out of 'I can't do ANYTHING right!' so far.

9:24 pm

Just try to be a good example .. That's what most wayward young people lack - Someone they want to emulate ..

9:24 pm

have you read the book or watched the movie, "the five people you me4 in heaven"?

9:24 pm

still looking at that s in the lower right corner

9:24 pm

* still looking at 28 *

9:24 pm

brb...ugh laundry

9:24 pm

Jmc, indian dress

9:25 pm

I've also been asked by her, when 'advising' her gently about the way we do things here, why I'm not shouting or hitting her.

9:25 pm

hate th4 movie lbd but the point is that we must live our lives in the best way we can and hope they give an example to others

9:25 pm

Jac, that's teenage angst. right now she probably does feel like she can't do anything right, all the more to praise her when she does, those little things.

9:26 pm

have the indian dress (always wonder why indian throwing yourself on a funeral pyre doesn't count)

9:26 pm

Is that what she undertands? Is that what I should do? The nearest I came to it was lat night when I asked her not to leave the house when no one was by the front door without shutting the front door.

9:26 pm

She'd left it on the latch because she'd forgotten to bring her keys down.

9:26 pm

I teach sunday school for teens and I will tell you they pay way more attention than they admit

9:27 pm

what can I say I haven't locked my door in years

9:28 pm

I don't think you should hit or shout, no! I would just say that "this is the way we do things here" and leave it at that

9:28 pm

and when she does remember, gently say, "thank you for remembering to close the front door"

9:28 pm

jmc - here you have to. It was once a country village but now, if someone sees you nip over to the local shop (only yards away) they wiull go in and pinch the handbag they know all women keep on a hook in the cupboard under the stairs.

9:28 pm

I have sa=african trip; long tales; pl; long tales with an extra vowel; pl; indian dress

try refreshing, reader. sometimes the list gets squirrely.

9:40 pm

hello herin - and thanks. ardilla let us know about lickety's dad...

Waves hi. Thanks Jac and HI. If anyone dares to complain about no list you will have a very grumpy herin to deal with

9:40 pm

no the rats are a man and woman couple and traps don't do it for her

9:40 pm

Herin-Ardilla was here earlier- oh never mind- trif beat me to it

9:40 pm

hi DR

9:41 pm

Nice to see you Dawger

Thanks. Hugs all. Sorry to come in a grumpy note

9:41 pm

No still missing 2 - I''ll head for the list. Thank you anyway

9:41 pm

hi DR

9:41 pm

why do you think she thinks the couple are rats? maybe she means them as sneaky and not rodents

9:41 pm

jmc - if she's got dementia you will only confuse and upset her by argueing with her, Just agree and say you'll sort it out.

9:41 pm

its all good herin

9:41 pm

Hi JMC

Me dementia sure do

9:41 pm

9:43 pm

must be difficult Jmc

9:43 pm

no one has ever accused me of being sensaive

9:43 pm

*sensative

9:43 pm

Dementia takes some people that way, jmc. Someone formerly gentle becomes violent.

9:43 pm

ahh, glad you found it, reader, i totally overlooked the gi!

9:44 pm

You have to roll with the punches. It's all you can do.

9:44 pm

9:47 pm

Trif - it takes people in different ways. Some people become incommunicado, others go on about rubbish, others, formerly gentle, want to take everyone on. Other can't stand up. Other march up and down to the point of exhaustion.
