12:49 am

goodnight all

12:50 am

Ugh !

12:50 am

4:57 am

Is town on the island?

4:57 am

yes our main town centre is called newport.

4:58 am

the funny thing is i could cycle there in about the same time as it takes the bus..the bus has to go round so many streets before hitting the main road..lol

4:59 am

it is only about 12 miles from where i live.

5:00 am

How wide is the island? being lazy, I should look that up

5:00 am

5:02 am

Very happy where I am. We have lived in this area all our married life - 40 years soon - and are very attached to the suburb. The house we have been in the last 15 years will see us out. Close to all amenities and close to Melbourne as well

5:09 am

ok..i`ll leave you alone..lol..will be back later to try and finish the grid, take care lynxxx, nice to talk with you.

5:10 am

Have a lovely day Zooz, and remember a book for the bus

5:29 am

sorry about my typing, I have the keyboard on my lap as I have broken my leg

5:29 am

Hi Lagalesa. Its a fun game - if addictive

5:30 am

thanks lynxxx...I'm not completely awake yet, but I doubt that I'll get far enough tohave trouble with the last 20-30.

5:30 am

thanks lynxxx...I'm not completely awake yet, but I doubt that I'll get far enough tohave trouble with the last 20-30.

5:30 am

Hi lagalesa...this should be good entertainment while healing

5:30 am

10:01 am

min I have 2 cavaliers! 1 a tri and 1 a blenheim, and my daughter has a black and tan cavalier.

10:01 am

Hello Erda!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

10:01 am

Hello Minver

10:02 am

Don't you just LOVE them robbie?Does your blenheim have a spot on its head. I wish that I had 2 cavaliers.

10:02 am

Can you post pictures of them in your profile robbie?

10:03 am

she doesn't have a spot, but she is sweet old girl of 8

10:05 am

Mine is a year and a half,but we've just had him for a year now. Hubby & I missed the first 6 months of his life. I knew nothing about this breed until I got one.

10:06 am

I hope mine lives to be at least 8 years old.Read that they don't have a long life span.Sprite has a cavalier.

10:08 am

good morning

10:08 am

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:08 am

they are the sweetest dogs! my first cavalier died at 6 years of heart failure. Chloe is 8, and she also has a heart murmur.

10:10 am

I read that they're prone to heart problems; i.e MVS (Mitral Valve Syndrome). Their life span is 6 - 9 years.

10:13 am

Sadly that is true. Since Chloe has no symtoms, she is not on any medication yet at 8,but the heart murmur is there.

10:14 am

They're still worth having, even if they don't live long

10:15 am

That is true! They are just too sweet!

hello all

10:16 am

I wish I knew about these dogs before.I am 38 years old & this is my first time having a cavalier.Will keep getting them though from now on. Maybe 2 next time

10:17 am

hi temple

10:17 am

Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

10:20 am

me too, min. I don't want to be "cavalierless" My two dogs are real pals, and keep each other company when I'm not home.

10:22 am

I am having company today, so I better go get ready

10:22 am

I will be back later on tonite to get my last 11 words.

1:25 pm

Oh Soodle.. it is hard to manufacture sometimes..

1:26 pm

the process of forgiving begins with saying to yourself, "I forgive me, and all others who I have need of forgiving." "Please forgive me too."

1:27 pm

BR - I have NO problem forgiving myself! Its other people (one in particular) I have the problem with.

1:27 pm

the only al6 I have doesn't have a plural

Yay Zoom!

congrats zoom

congrats zooz!!!!!

1:30 pm

to forgive is a choice. it does not mean you have not been wronged or that a reconciliation is required ... it does mean you want to rid yourself of a festering wound

1:31 pm

Many Thanks Babble friends :-)

1:54 pm

But the no. of school days is about the same with Germany. They have so many holidays, longr Christmas and spirng vacation, even a week off at Pentecost.

I have the 7, working on the 6. *thinking*

3:53 pm

hope her weather clear up then, just put a bunch of chilled, damp scientists on planes back to their homes around the world... so much for our lovely August weather!

3:53 pm

ca6 you would expect it to end in y but use 2 vowels

3:53 pm

Stid -what is an 18 yr old boy? A boy? - Hardly. A man? not yet. Tough place to be!! To be such a persons mother is even tougher!!!

3:54 pm

AHA. thanks lynxxx. wouldn't have thought of that

3:54 pm

true enough soodle. I have one close to that age who thinks he knows all there is to know about "life" -- and I worry about letting go when the time comes. They seem so vulnerable in many ways at this age

4:32 pm

Ruru, the A's were such that I had three or four on my own, and looked many of the rest up in the dictionary. Bleagh!

4:36 pm

evening all

4:38 pm

Hello, sprite. How r u?

4:39 pm

hi, lady with the beautiful name. Under the circumstances I am good. And you?

4:39 pm

hi everyone -- have a few minutes while the kids are out.

4:39 pm

Hi Sprite -- hope you're feeling better!

4:39 pm

Under the circumstances, am good, too. And thank you!

4:39 pm

hi nan, how nice to see you. You are already on your way, aren't you?

4:40 pm

Vancouver -- fly out tomorrow evening.

4:40 pm

not really, nan, but I have done a lot of soul-searching and I do feel spiritually stronger. I feel happy today, in spite of everything.

4:41 pm

*at kids house ih Vancouver

4:42 pm

You mentioned having trouble walking -- do the doctors know what is going on or are they still "testing"?

4:43 pm

Sprite, What is wrong? I have an infection in my leg. What r u dealing with (want to add you to my prayer list...)

4:45 pm

they 'know' for as far they understand how the brain works under stress. I have cptss and a damaged pelvic girdle. When I get too much stress (which happens too easily), the hormones in my brain start running riot and in combination with the other handicap, that sometimes leads to a kind of paralisation. My legs don't get the messages from the brain to make the right movements then. Not sure I explain this correctly.

4:46 pm

how awful, jaianniah. Painful, I bet, and it must have quite some impact on your everyday life too.

4:46 pm

goedemorgen, sprite

4:47 pm

it sounds very frustrating, sprite -- and just makes the stress even worse, I bet. Hope a solution for you is soon found.

4:47 pm

hi BabbleRabble, best of mornings to you. I am being bad and staying up late to babble.

4:48 pm

am often very frustrated, nan, it is true. But today is good. Found some inner peace and that is priceless.

4:48 pm

Hi Jai -- hope your infection is soon cleared up also.

4:49 pm

that's good, sprite!

4:49 pm

counting my blessings ;) And you guys are one of them.

4:50 pm

may the fire of infection leave your leg soon, jaianniah.

4:55 pm

(that wasn't supposed to be stopper though)

4:55 pm

Ty, Sprite for your info. May all who suffer and play Babble be blessed today! I sometimes am glad for Babble- it is a fairly good pain-killer!!LOL! (But it does this by creating mental anguish and total frustraion with words like an6, 21!)

4:56 pm

roflol yes it does and I love it.

4:57 pm

hello all, is crossy around?

4:57 pm

5:15 pm

how's your day? And the grid?

5:15 pm

I tried for nbt before I began all my running around today with no success

5:16 pm

my day was okay -- my sister who lives in galveston is up here to see Mother

5:16 pm

oh that sounds good!

5:16 pm

so we spent the afternoon going through old photos and divying them up

5:17 pm

well Mother is not doing so well so it has been hard for my sister who did not see it happen gradually

5:17 pm

must have been a shock for her. But good for both of them to be together.

5:18 pm

alas my mother thought we were here three sisters -- and she only had one sister

5:18 pm

it is a tough thing to watch and experience, isn't it :(

5:18 pm

help with the u and the i next to the z to get nbt :-)

5:19 pm

it is hard but it inspires me to exercise (something my mother never did) and make friends (something she and I are both not good at)

5:19 pm

ul4 bone in the arm, and anagram

5:19 pm

5:27 pm

5:28 pm

I love babblets. It is great to learn such baffling words.

5:28 pm

6:34 pm

ty ru

6:34 pm

ty hursh

6:34 pm

I am feeling like taking a nap... it is too hot out to do stuff..

6:34 pm

poor ru

i painted the proch post and part of the garage trim, but it was too hot to continue

6:35 pm

do you think it is possible to over-nap?

nima

6:35 pm

there is a study that shows that people who sleep weigh less

6:35 pm

yeah I do hursh..

6:36 pm

hey all!

6:36 pm

doesn't everybody sleep?

6:36 pm

I am a light eater though...

6:36 pm

I am planning on doing my own carefully planned study

6:36 pm

Once it is light... I start eating...

one can definitely over sleep

6:36 pm

yes hursh but the more you sleep the easier it is to lose weight

lol ru are you also on the see food diet?

6:36 pm

hi Jen

6:36 pm

yep

6:37 pm

ah... i see, i wasn't sure if the word missing from that statement had been "more" or "less" :)

6:37 pm

that is cool, and counterintuitive.

6:37 pm

more sleep sounds like a great way to get thin

6:38 pm

I have heard that people who cover their mouths with duct tape.. also lose weight quickly

6:39 pm

but it is so hard getting the duct tape off later

6:39 pm

i believe there is also a correlation with duct tape on the mouth and being committed to mental institutions

6:39 pm

mmmpfh.. what do you mean?

6:39 pm

or being a hostage

si 6 pls> brb must go to toolbox for roll of tape

6:40 pm

*quickly hides the duct tape from her son*

6:40 pm

si 6

6:41 pm

the beginning of cooking something on low + a womans name short for Linda

ty, definintely looking that one up

in5/12?

6:42 pm

i saw a post on a friend's facebook page that said, "welcome to the world, declan!" can anyone think of any explanation for this other than someone has named their baby that?

6:42 pm

a brownish color TO

6:42 pm

someone who is lazy is in5ent

6:43 pm

not homeless, just lazy.

6:43 pm

declan is the kid's name?

6:43 pm

well, like i said, it was just a post, and i am assuming it refers to someone she knows that i don't know, but am hoping that it is NOT the name of a new baby.

6:43 pm

did anyone get a definition for si6?

have heard that name before

6:44 pm

but i can't think what else it could be.

6:44 pm

(do they wear white sheets ?_

6:44 pm

It's an Irish name..

still seeking in 5. it is after a color and is also a color?

6:44 pm

really TO? boy or girl?

6:45 pm

Boy's name ..

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

declan was the name of the dashing lead role in a recent American tv show - "Supernatural" or something similar

8:48 pm

8:48 pm

8:48 pm

8:50 pm

OMG i luv BLTs, they are orgasmic

8:50 pm

BLT on toast with a little mayo

8:50 pm

with juicy tomotoes

8:50 pm

mmmm...

8:51 pm

well I thought I was having pizza tonight, but now that I've just eaten my sandwich...turkey + havarti cheese on wheat...I might just skip pizza and go straight for p-butter cookies...

8:51 pm

hi rose

8:51 pm

hi Pav

8:51 pm

*getting mop to wipe up the drool puddles*

8:51 pm

hi lil'

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

I was craving a hot fudge sundae earlier but I never got up off my butt and walked over to the Ben & Jerry's

8:52 pm

it must be nice to walk over to Ben & Jerry's

8:53 pm

phantom = lanai

8:55 pm

yes it is Pav, but I did not walk over there in time, they close at 10 and it's 9:55 now

8:55 pm

rbud..you missed it.i did theese b.l.t,s other day..sigh..was incredible.starte with jumbo cheese buns from the bakery,then maple and hickory smoked bacon cooked just right,crispy romaine lettuce for its bed,then the bacon,then some fresh(picked that day) tomatos,and thinly sliced 5 year extra old white chedda and for a finish some zesty mayp and garnished with fresh ground black peppercorns;))

8:55 pm

run lil!

8:56 pm

mayo even

8:56 pm

yum crossy

8:56 pm

crossy you are going to make me cry

8:56 pm

was reached ona whole new blt level that day...

8:56 pm

je, even if I drunkenly run and don't fall on my face, I won't get there in time

8:56 pm

heck that sounded good when I thought you used maypo

8:56 pm

lol, jmc

8:57 pm

LOL jmc

8:57 pm

by mayo i mean miracle whip..dont care for the real mayo anymore

8:57 pm

I want my Maypo

8:57 pm

LOL

8:57 pm

crossy, I recommend Duke's majo, if you can get it where you live, it's a southern thang

8:57 pm

hey1 i can order some baconaise!!!!

8:57 pm

ich I don't like miracle whip

8:58 pm

did you see that someone earlier was talking about chocolate covered bacon crossy?

8:58 pm

i saw..some things should never be cobined

8:58 pm

I don't think choc-covered bacon crossy would be very tasty

8:59 pm

I thought you would eat anything bacony

8:59 pm

plus the chocolate gets in nasty places..hard to clean up in the shower

8:59 pm

Maybe cheese and basil smothered crossy would be better

8:59 pm

probably don't like beer and chocolate

8:59 pm

I think Mrs Crossy is the one to try cheese and basil smothered crossy

9:00 pm

I keep picturing Chewbacca covered with chocolate

9:00 pm

everyone over 18?

9:00 pm

ich *washes eyes out*

9:00 pm

cross...where are you putting said choc that would be messy to clean up ion a shower?

9:01 pm

wife and i tried playing with a bottle of natural honey one night..had to shave the beard off and start again after that lol

9:01 pm

better to shave the beard than to have to get a Brazilian

9:02 pm

lol, crossy, chocolate would work better than that!

9:02 pm

cuz most body parts do come clean in the shower...that's what it's there for...now the magic wand is another story...( oh?)

9:02 pm

lol we got a 2-for price at the hair place lol

9:02 pm

did they inquire about the honey?

9:03 pm

not really said was a good choice as it was all natural but other than some old lady trying to di[p her grahm crackers in my beard,all went well

9:04 pm

ich *washes tongue*

9:04 pm

ew!

9:04 pm

change the subject

9:04 pm

lol kk

9:04 pm

honey and p-butter ...yummy...

9:04 pm

wife loves those chocolate covered grahm crackers

9:05 pm

yes, PAV, honey's my all-time fave to put on pb sandwiches

9:05 pm

ummm, graham crackers and ready-made frosting from the tubs...shhh! don't tell the poopies!

9:06 pm

so did anyone find a definition for the si6 word?

9:07 pm

oh a good samich is PB and honey and banana slices and a sprinkle of granola on the whole grain bread

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

9:10 pm

bathroom is the only place in the house that is fully redecorated..spend so much time in there anyway that i just bring the tools with me;/

9:10 pm

I found a definition, jmc ... but why spoil crowd "humor"?

9:10 pm

I really want to know -- should I just google it?

9:11 pm

hmmm si6...not fat, but sl4 - L and end with straight li4 minus the last vowEl

9:11 pm

U.S. A species of squash having a scalloped edge

9:11 pm

no definition, jmc. looks like it could be a square in singapore tho

9:12 pm

a square, as in a place, not the geometric shape, although i suppose that's why the place is called a square, due to the geometric shape...i'm rambling...

10:02 pm

"they" are always trouble, in my experience...

10:02 pm

it means of course I spent last week working like a demon to set things up so that when I come back I will only have to work like a demon

First li 5/10 is flax again, with substitute for second vowel

10:02 pm

FIREWORKS!!!
