3:18 am

Can someone list the z's?

3:18 am

No, bank holidays don't extend to the surgery, it's business as usual.

TY nurse

He's had 2 weeks off and is ready for action again.

3:20 am

the cows of Ballymena will be grateful

3:21 am

Understandably so.

3:21 am

what - that that bloke in the gumboots is coming to do unmentionable things to them again - sure!

3:22 am

But he talks nicely to them at the same time. That's bound to help.

3:22 am

And besides, they have all sorts of revenge in store if they feel like it!

3:22 am

does he sing them nice songs?

3:23 am

Has anyone posted a list in his/her profile?

3:23 am

I wouldn't put it past him.

3:24 am

I don't know, anike, I'm not long arrived.

3:25 am

hi everypne back from getting my lunch

Hello loredana, nice to see you.

3:26 am

hi Lore! so nice to see you. Keeping your nose to the grindstone?

3:27 am

Nightshift Lynxxx all I seem to do is sleep when I am not at work thought I would give this grid a go before work

3:27 am

hi everyone

3:27 am

Hello Andree.

3:27 am

hi there andree

3:27 am

hi Andree

3:28 am

hi andree

3:28 am

just starting, 5 words, how is this grid? should i find something else to do?

3:29 am

Andree, Andree, Andree. What sort of question is that?

3:29 am

Just started myself Andree

3:29 am

andree the grid is delightful the last leg looks a little doubtful for me though

3:30 am

you are right ofcourse haz, silly thought

3:30 am

Even though shocked by the suggestion that you could find better things to do, so far the grid is okay. Think lady's underpinnings and you're well set.

3:34 am

43 left and it's getting sticky

3:35 am

3:35 am

Treacle wading time ahead.

3:53 am

bye anike

3:58 am

everyone is very quiet today

3:59 am

Can't you hear the sound of industry?

3:59 am

koses

4:00 am

lost for words Ata excuse typo not enough typing anymore

4:00 am

just head in grid ata, how are you ata, feeling positive i hope

4:02 am

positive that my last words are hard to find, certainly!

4:02 am

Very happy, just placed order with online Vetshop getting 6 months supply of Stew's Flea/Worm stuff for same price as 3 months supply normally. Love my vet but their medicines etc cost a mint

4:03 am

excellent!

4:03 am

Poor vet. Sitting down to butterless bread because lynxx wouldn't buy his wormers. Violins playing in the background....

4:03 am

well done pays to shop around these days

4:03 am

excellent lynxxx

4:03 am

I do feel guilty but....

4:04 am

Yes, butterless bread, holes in the sheets, shoeless children.

4:04 am

A wife in rags. (Louder violin music)

4:04 am

how much markup do vets actually make on frontline etc?

4:05 am

a dog in a kennel outside, with no food

4:05 am

I have precisely no idea. But in context, we haven't had a wage increase for at least 5 or 6 years.

4:05 am

My other excellent online buy is to buy direct from Bendigo Woollen Mills. 200 gr pure wool for $11 - paying that price for 50 gr in the shoops

4:05 am

Oh poor Spangle lets pass the hat around

4:06 am

i hope you aren't fighting spangle for dinner

4:06 am

I've always wondered. It's so expensive.

4:06 am

Who says Spangle gets any dinner? As if we have any money to feed a dog anything other than scraps from our butterless bread.

4:07 am

It must be 100% Ata

4:07 am

i buy from them all the time lynxxx, usually stock up at craft fair, they have 8 and 10 dollar specials

4:07 am

she has to eat rats

4:08 am

But don't forget that part of that markup will be going to pay for premises, staff and the provision of advice etc that your online supplier isn't able to give.

4:08 am

Lord - I feel so guilty. I'm sorry !!!

4:08 am

The most galling phone call I took was from a woman who had bought stuff from the chemist during the day and then rang us about 10 in the evening to ask for advice on how to use it.

4:09 am

oh yes, I'm not questioning that vets do an overly large mark-up, but I'd love to know where the expensive bits come in - is it expensive to buy from the manufacturer etc etc

4:09 am

that is so true haz, but once you know what you need nice to save some $$'s

4:09 am

lynxxx - I'm teasing, don't feel too guilty. A bit guilty but not too much.

4:10 am

It's your choice to buy supplies where you want - the vets probably can't compete on price because they have other factors to consider.

4:11 am

I do know Haz...I didn't begrudge the $10,000 (min) I spent on our previous dog in 3/4 years one litte bit. But now on a limited income my spending habits have changed

4:11 am

I understand. It sounds like you've provided plenty of butter for the shoeless children over the years.

4:12 am

The volin music is fading to nothing.

4:12 am

lol, not my vet though, he's gay and not planning any adoptions that I know of

4:13 am

*violin even.

4:13 am

i don't think any of us who has owned pets hasn't spent a fortune at the vet and I for one never grudged a cent

4:13 am

nor me

4:13 am

Vets are beautiful caring beings

4:13 am

but I would not be above getting supplies at a better price

4:15 am

Will we have a whip round now for the Vets' Holiday Fund, Ballymena branch?

4:15 am

if I was a vet, I'd be wanting to cut a deal with one of the online places. Vet refers to online, they get a cut of the purchase price and customer still gets cheaper items

4:16 am

no. but we'll buy Spangle some dog food

4:16 am

Yes, but don't forget that we have built up a relationship over the years with particular suppliers. Cut them out of the picture, job losses etc for them.

4:17 am

if we buy spangle food, haz will be overun with rats

4:17 am

oh dear, more shoeless kids

4:17 am

lol Andree

4:18 am

true, but at some point that's go to break, because it's a market inequality - vets selling the same products for much more than online retailers. Someone somewhere will break the supply chain and then others will etc etc

4:19 am

The reality is the customer can choose where he wants to buy the stuff, if the vet isn't shifting the produce because the price is too high, he'll stop stocking it.

4:20 am

yep. and then his prices would have to fall, and the supplier would have to adjust somehow. the people at the bottom always take the rap

4:21 am

I don't pretend to understand all the economics of it all. Basically, the vet provides a service, the goods are available if people want to buy them, but he's running a business and has to make a profit.

4:21 am

absolutely. it's basically all about everyone trying to stay in business

Clues are up

4:22 am

while macro-economic forces force big companies to decrease every cost possible

4:22 am

Thanks lickety!

4:22 am

Thankyou Lickety. Trust you are keeping well

4:22 am

thx lickety, my hero

4:23 am

all done off to work we go

Well, this isn't getting the carpetless floors swept or the ragged clothes washed, so maybe I'd better do something about it.

4:24 am

Bye loredana, nice to see you again.

4:24 am

4:25 am

I'll be back later - if we can afford the electricity.

feline should settle in or leave...does it require sustainance?

5:34 am

5:36 am

should keep kibbles in bathrobe [pocket for such circumstances

5:36 am

No, but I will do my damnedest to make it creative!

5:39 am

Like a story about cyber Hot Tubbing.....My favorite pasttime...

5:39 am

5:41 am

5:56 am

5:56 am

I do not do housework. I cannot do housework. I have child slaves for that.

164 words left. But the b.f is killing things in Dawn of War 2 rather loudly

5:56 am

not asking state of womb

I understood that

5:57 am

At least it is not World of Warcraft. Count your blessings.

5:57 am

approve jai... i was worked to the bone as a child....

Can't play that here as we don't have the right internet for it

5:58 am

does bf spend inordinate amount oif time in such pursuits?

Playing laptop games? Yes but is sensible.

5:58 am

These children are 22 and 23 and have child of their own and live with me due to idea that they need not work...therefore, they do housework, and raise tyheir own offspring inbewteen fights....

5:59 am

it's 9 p.m. in aussie?

Yes indeed.

5:59 am

you can still box their ears, i'm sure

5:59 am

midday here..hello all

5:59 am

I am in CDT. Are you, TKate, up there where it is cold for a hobby?

HI Zoom

6:00 am

Hiya, Zoom!

6:00 am

you are in what jai?... C D T ?

6:01 am

hhi zoomzoom

6:01 am

No. I just do not pay the phone bill. No World of Warcraft for them....

6:01 am

Central Daylight Time

6:02 am

Just kidding about the WOW.

6:02 am

i'm Eastern time here 1 hr later than yoiu

We have mobile internet and mobile phones so no warcrack

6:02 am

i feel babble is as addictive as WOW

6:03 am

at least for me anyhow..lol

6:03 am

No, it is not. The chat is addictive, but it isn't if you are not funny and amusing!

Babble is only addictive if you admit it.

6:03 am

well that counts me out then Jai..haha

6:04 am

it's practically brass monkey weather here at present...very unseasonable. hobby implies a pursuit that one enjoys, does it not???????????

6:04 am

I like that...warcrack...that is truly what that damn game is!

6:04 am

DO NOT ENJOY COLD....am delicate hot house plant...very exotic, pretty, and sweet smelling

I buy all PC Games I don't believe in paying over and over again

6:05 am

You must enjoy lack of sun and cold if you reside in Canada! Not to mention mosquitos as big as...well, big....

Trade why not move. I have heard Canada is brrrrrrrrrr cold

6:06 am

Now, I like to boil. I like having my house relocated each year during hurricane season. This is a very reasonable place to live. And I have been bitten by a copperhead only once....

6:06 am

warmer than mich....or ore...or n. dak......or mont.

6:07 am

or Chicago for that matter...that's where I am from....

I am hoping we don't have a horrid hot season again

6:08 am

this has been a very cruel an uncharacxhteristicly cold summmer in east. normally we're about 80-85 now but yesterday barely made it to 60 for a bit

6:08 am

why on esarth did i think you were from mississippi?

6:08 am

speaking of cold and rainy....chiming in from Vermont

6:08 am

Yes, and you actually can claim to have ben hit by a Hurricane!!! Outstanding!

6:09 am

Hello Eva :-)

6:09 am

Because I LIVE in Mississippi, but am FROM Chicagoland....

6:09 am

hi zooz

6:09 am

I hear california is not having it too good.

6:09 am

herin , you certainly wouldn't want a big fire season after last year...an d california's got their own simillar problems

6:10 am

No, California has four seasons...mudslides, fires, droughts, and monsoons....

6:10 am

any clues for the co9?

Oh heck no. I think I cried every day for a month about our fires. Hi Eva

6:10 am

do not listen to crossy re: mosquitoes...there haven't been any this year...weather is so bad

6:11 am

jai LMAO ROFL

6:11 am

hi herin

6:11 am

little, tight little barrel-type undergarments for women...

6:11 am

ahh, thanks Jai.

6:12 am

in fact i have heard precisely ONE cricket this summer, and it was in the basement...weather has messedup our pooor insects

6:12 am

o have a co7 from that, but not a 9?

6:13 am

never mind-got it. Thanks!!

6:13 am

Have you heard about our honeybees???? They have contracted a virus and are dying out, which gives us about seven years left to occupy the planet before we will all have to go out with paintbrushes and pollinate all our trees and stuff all day long....

I did hear that Jai. I think we just have screwed everything up

6:14 am

our bees still seem quite vibrant. I keep a close eye on them

6:14 am

Yes they have been talking about that here too, very sad..would not think a lack of bees could kill of the human race.

6:15 am

Yep. We have wasps of all varieties, and dive-bombing bumblebees, but I have not seeen a single honeybee all summer....

6:15 am

more than just the awful virus..also out competed by african bees that don't do their share of pollination and are very aggressive

6:16 am

Yep. It's Mississippi, so they have to come here and try us out for fun, just like the fire ants did...

6:16 am

and we have lost 90 percent of our bats due to white nose virus. We had mosquitoes with a vengeance this summer, despite the cold, because of the rain and, i would guess, the absence of bats

6:16 am

i have a rather large one on my drapes right now...he came in the open window ande it's so cold he just sittds there

6:17 am

Good God!

6:17 am

Aww...i love bats. i miss seeing them swooping around in the evenings.

Poor Bats

6:18 am

I like bats, don't get me wrong. It's just that I do not think they should serve as swags for drapes.

6:18 am

have bee not bat, but am very fond of flying mice...

6:18 am

wow have never had a bat come into the house before.

6:18 am

Good morning/day to all. Kate, I hope you slept all evening + night and just got here. You were a sleep-deprived lunatic yesterday afternoon.

6:18 am

I don't know if my tomatoes, the ones that didn't get blossom end rot from the extremes of temp and wet, are ever going to ripen-usually have loads of them by July. even the zucchini fizzled and that's saying a lot!

My parents had a tiny little bat in their house since they have cathedral ceilings

Hi Scrabbler

6:19 am

had a bird in here a few weeks back...just a house finch

6:19 am

Hello Scrabs

6:19 am

My other cat used to bring bats into my bedroom at night and let them go once she realized they weren't birds or mice. She expected me to remove them.

6:19 am

I had a bat flying in my house sevreal summers ago. It cost me $2000 to remove the colony from the attic and seal the house.

6:19 am

I thought nothing, I mean NOTHING, killed zucchini! Every year, we spend half the summer passing zucchini from house to house, wondering why the hell we didn't plant just one seed....

awww Ebathat is too cute

6:20 am

why thank you scrabs, i wish you a good day as well.

6:20 am

have had a robin in the house..thousands of ants and lots of flies in the summer..lol

6:20 am

I am sad + disappointed with my tomato crop this summer. I have 27 plants and the production is low.

Snort we always knew Scrabbler had bats in her belfry

6:20 am

We had many a conversation about she who brings the bat in gets to take it out, but she would just look at me and meow.

6:21 am

Kate---really, did you sleep? We were worried about you.

6:21 am

Lack of honeybees. See!

6:21 am

LOL, eva

6:21 am

never plant zucchini...its like christmas fruitcake. suspect there are only actually 1000 in worlkd...they just keep getting passed on...never eaten

6:21 am

TK, you stole my joke!!!!!! Only nobody read it......

6:22 am

I know kate, but it's the one thing you can always count on for abundance, even if we all gripe about it. And ever since I found out about using it instead of pasta it gets used much more rapidly.

Scrabbler I got to snuggle the cutest Angora rabbit today

6:22 am

worried pour moi? pour quoi? was up at 8 last nite...still up, may have a quoick nap soon.

6:23 am

Rabbit snuggling? Heaven!

6:23 am

Kate, Kate...Dormez vous????

6:23 am

ok 124 to find, will be back later, bye all, nice listening to the chat today.

6:24 am

Kate, do you not require much sleep? I need 8.5-9 hrs/night to be at my best the next day.

6:24 am

bat remal brutality, scrasbs...sorry have fallen far behinfd the conversation

6:24 am

I seem to be able to only sleep about 4 hours before my leg starts screaming in pain....

6:24 am

Bye Zooz

6:24 am

Why, Jai?

6:25 am

I can't imagine sleeping that long scrabbler-only has happened a handful of times in my adult life when sick. 6-7 is my max

It was wonderful. The store that sells them is a rescue store. They make sure every single pet that leaves there gets a good home. ALso the rabbit Cup Cake gets free reign of the bench when its quiet.

6:25 am

sorry for absconding with jai's joke....i am a bad bad babbler

Bye Zoom

6:25 am

see you all later...much to do this morning

6:25 am

Had a bad infection in knee joint...it ate all the cartilage...now it rachets instead of glides when I move it....

6:25 am

I love sleeping in my nest. I have a very entertaining and vivid dream life. It's like I have my own channel, the Scrabbler Channel.

6:26 am

Bye Eva

6:26 am

by zooz

6:26 am

Ouch, Jai

Jai what about Glocosomen

6:27 am

I eat that stuff like candy and so far the cartilage does not grow and I have developed ...welll ...a gaseous problem.....

6:27 am

*taking several steps away from Jai*

6:27 am

bye eva

mmmm Jai. I am no help then

6:28 am

Luckily, it is internal and does not ....well, exit....

6:28 am

So where does it go then, Jai?

6:29 am

okay finally caught up...sorry

6:29 am

I beat my stomach and move the pockets around...that seems to work...and the glucosamine has gone onto my top shelf of my medicine cabinet

6:30 am

scrabbs i normally sleep long... must use alarm as i will be in nest 12+ hrs. if alllowed...but lately not sleeping well.

6:30 am

me too, Kate

6:31 am

Neither am I. So I talk here. It is good. Otherwise, I would go crazy. <already has, but does not know it>

6:32 am

I went crazy many years ago and have adapted quite well.

6:32 am

cwish i had scrabblevision for dreams

6:32 am

I envy you, Scrabbler. My craziness seems to show too much for my family's liking.

6:33 am

I have incredible dreams that make me seriously wonder about past lives.

6:33 am

to heck with them

6:33 am

to heck with them

6:33 am

you're perfectly charming jai

6:33 am

Jai, start to accept and value your craziness and then others will too.

sigh i have to go and block people on facebook

6:33 am

do tell scrabs

6:34 am

not again herin...will you be back?

6:34 am

good morning all!

6:34 am

6:34 am

Hi Wolvie

6:34 am

WAIT! HERIN! Find me on facebook under jaianniah!

6:35 am

wolvie, good day to you

6:35 am

dreams or wackiness, both welcome scrabs

6:35 am

G"Day, Wolf O' My Dreams

6:35 am

1 min...brb

Trade its just to deal with the bourkes

6:36 am

lol jai

6:36 am

I was supposed to leave for training at new job 20 min ago, although I gave a window of arrival time

6:37 am

well at least I got to say hello to you scrabs - you feeling better then?

FOund you Jai and now added. Hi wolvie

6:37 am

brb...need a break

6:37 am

TY, herin!

6:37 am

So much better! I recovered by early afternoon and did some cleaning but I need to catch up

6:38 am

glad to hear you are better - sorry about the work load tho. ;-)

6:38 am

counting the days I bet

6:38 am

good morning babble friends!!!

6:38 am

hi trif

6:38 am

4 wks from today is last day---big battle over PTO though

6:38 am

Hi Trif

6:39 am

hi trif

TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFIEEEEEEEEEES

6:39 am

the pto saga continues, does it?

6:40 am

Alright, I must move myself out of this seat and prepare for the day.

6:40 am

okay, babble question: does anyone else sometimes get words wrong in their head as they play? Here''s what I mean - I found the pl4 that means the ballet bend. Then I pluraled it, and then I tried "one who does the bend" which is how I pronounced it in my head. only after I entered the plural of THAT did I realize that the word actually was the name of a tool, not "one who does the bend" - anyone else ever do this?

6:40 am

trif psst you've got a fan

6:40 am

yes, I remember the battle you mentioned - good luck

6:40 am

bye scrab

6:40 am

Well, Kate, it is unresolved as I am preparing my arguments

6:40 am

yes trif. :-)

6:41 am

Yes, I often mispronounce words in my head and find it is a word said another way

6:41 am

hello all - HHHEERRRIIIINNNNN

Trifs i find it easier just to hit and type. Best luck Trifs

6:41 am

well, glad to know it is not just me!!!

6:41 am

Bye all. I will miss you. I work from 8:30-7:30 today. Yuck.

6:41 am

kate, who is it that you refer to? Herin?

6:42 am

bye scrabbler! we should starting counting down hours for you! it's so exciting that you are so near to the end!

6:42 am

It works with things like so up and so ap as well. (I'm just passing through - waving to the newcomers)

6:43 am

waves at haz passing thru

6:43 am

And can I confess that I never see pl4 or jete without thinking of MikeyinBerlin? See you all later!

6:43 am

;-)

6:44 am

bye haz

6:44 am

the key is pronunciation. today i was adding 's,er' to some words. had what men wear ....but didn't try er on the food because it is pronounced differently

6:44 am

bye bunnygirl

6:45 am

yes, herin is fan of trif...judging by greeting.

6:45 am

am way behind on chat again

6:45 am

thanks kate. and trust me, trif is a fan of herin!!!

I heart the b.f that is allowing me on his fb page to see what its drama is

6:46 am

bye haz

6:47 am

which makes me think - babble nicknames often are not pronounced anything like what the real names are....for example, "herin" is not how the first two words of herinfernallady is pronounced, yet we all shortened it thusly.

6:47 am

mutual admiration society, i like that trif

6:48 am

except me - I'm worse - I call her fern. ;-0

6:48 am

(((as you can see, I love me some words!!!)))

I like Herin. I think it was Inge that said it was very close to master of the dog

6:48 am

too many letters her infernal lady

6:49 am

is there a she who must be obeyed?

6:49 am

and my name is a mash up of my kid's names, yet people here call me "trif" which mashes two of the names even further. Note - I don't mind trif at all!!!

6:49 am

not that I know of Kate

6:50 am

all nicknames are short , warm and fuzzy

Yep. That is usually me :D

6:51 am

hyerin reminds me of bird, heron...very regal, but not pretentious

6:51 am

guess i9 didn't pick a good name then?

6:52 am

your name is just fine Kate - there, see, even I shortened you!

Yes, but why "Trader"?

6:53 am

well hi sheenashayna. ;-)

6:53 am

shesha, maybe?

Hi

6:53 am

i get trader, kate and kt...all are fine. use traderkate on stock sites....just trying to apply kiss principle

Just sheesh, maybe?

6:53 am

how 'bout sheesh?

Sheesh works for me.

6:54 am

LOL - much better

6:54 am

sheesh it is then

6:55 am

wolvie is the exeptional one...

6:55 am

I used Trifioso when I first went on line years ago, and just never changed it. I like how it's gender neutral, and unique enough that I usually don't have to add numbers after it.

6:55 am

already shortened, eh?

6:55 am

is today bank holiday in uk?

Well I am now in a awesome happy mood.

6:56 am

more vodka and choclit?

6:56 am

It started out years ago as wolverine, but became wolvie thru time - my license plate even uses it

6:56 am

michigan fan, wovlie?

6:57 am

wolvie, even!

No. The girl that was mean to me has blocked me. :D

6:57 am

I have do 4/5,4/5,4/5, 4/10, 5/22, 6/36, and 5/22 - what tyoe am I missing?

6:57 am

like wolvie...picture cartoon wolfman dancing in shorts, t-shirt and sandals

6:57 am

yes trif - that was the origin. :-)

6:57 am

cartoon sounds good

6:57 am

oooooh - I went to Ohio State! we are sworn enemies suddenly!

6:58 am

type - not tyoe. lol

6:58 am

oh no trif! lol

6:58 am

so you are mutually blocked then herin?

8:48 am

heya ata

8:49 am

LOL that was Indie

8:49 am

and she looks so sweet and gentle ..

8:49 am

I caught her down at the old house. Simon whizzed up with the cat basket but she freaked when she saw him. But there was NO WAY I was letting go. my arms are in shreds!¬

8:50 am

no! not losing another one down there!

8:50 am

Good to have you back this side of the ocean Ata :)

8:50 am

ohhh! i love elmont! what a great looking lab!

8:50 am

Yes 'fraid so

8:51 am

Elmont? Lol thats my name. The dopey dog is called Oscar!

8:51 am

how is monster dog??

8:51 am

Love the dear Ata

8:51 am

lmao! yes labs are dopey but they are amazing

8:51 am

He's been converted Ata :) He is a saint nowadays ;)

8:51 am

Oscar is quite a special lab

8:52 am

have you been doping him or something?

8:52 am

i have poo-dog/cream lab, sturgis/brown lab and willow/black lab

8:52 am

special should be in inverted commas lol

8:52 am

they are my life lol, Oh ya and the kids too

8:52 am

it should. I was being lazy :P

8:52 am

very "special"

8:53 am

do you go to the dog park in Warrenton, aff?

8:53 am

No, just lulling me into a false sense of security

8:53 am

labs have the most amazing personalities. like humans

8:53 am

he's working up to something spectacular

8:53 am

Thats what worries me!

8:53 am

if Os was human, he'd be ......

8:54 am

yes sometimes. If i have someone with me to handle all three. The female is show trained so she stays next to me but the males need constant supervision lol

8:54 am

Blimey I wouldn't like to meet a human with Oscars personality ROFL

8:54 am

is oscar aggressive?

8:54 am

you probably have seen one of my friend's black labs in there at some point

8:54 am

now that WOULD be special!

8:55 am

Aggressive!!!! LOL!!!!!! He might lick you to death

8:55 am

or barrel you over a cliff

8:55 am

more than likely, willow is an english lab so shes short squat and thick, the 2 males are tal and slender = american labs

8:55 am

thats true :)

8:56 am

Oscar is half English bloodlines and half French. He's big and solid, proper old fashioned show type

8:56 am

but he's more likely to just fall over himself, as we well know

8:56 am

ie he's HUGE

8:56 am

my babies are like that too, theyll lick you to death but they sure sound scary when you are on the other side of the front door ))

8:56 am

We went over to Little Sark yesterday and I was retelling the cliff story then :)

8:57 am

over the bridge! yay!

8:57 am

yup thats willow too, Her grand dad was best of show krupps and eukanuba

8:57 am

Oscar and Hobbit made a great pair :)

8:57 am

oscar just - has odd habits. Like eating lightbulbs. And falling off cliffs

8:57 am

half english and half french?..crossy restrains himself with effort...:))))

8:57 am

they really really did, it was such a joy to watch them together

8:58 am

her daddy was a yellow and he was best of breed eukanuba and the akc show, he never went international like grandpa did

8:58 am

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/etang-bala ncet/ Oscars dad is Ole on the main photo

8:58 am

lmao! Poo eats socks, so ya i get it

8:58 am

LOL you make him sound like such a nutter Ata :))

8:58 am

socks are far too normal for Os :)

8:59 am

didn't he eat the floor one day?

8:59 am

akc says labs have an eating disorder lol sturgis ate 10 pounds of choco chips once

8:59 am

lmao I think your dogs would get on well!

9:00 am

we had one that used to eat stones

9:00 am

poo likes to bring me stray q-tips that have found their way to the floor. Like its his job. lmao hes so proud when he finds one

9:00 am

damn dog would chip his teeth..

9:00 am

customers! Better go - see you all later :)

9:00 am

my sister's Willow eats stones too *facepalm*

9:01 am

bye dear!

9:01 am

Bye Liz.

9:01 am

and Haz sits back smugly as she has a Dog of Perfection

9:01 am

we cured him by putting him in his dog run for the night with strategically placed small stones that had been bathed in tobasco sauce....

9:01 am

labs are just great. when i had my surgery 3 years ago and i had no one to take car of me sturgis learned to drop his head in front of me and back up once i grabbed his chain so i cud stand up

9:02 am

<---------

9:02 am

exactly. She is a Dog of Glory indeed

9:02 am

lol

9:02 am

i do think he thanked us in the end as his bowell movements we much happier affiars after that

9:03 am

awwwww what a lovely boy

9:03 am

lmao

9:03 am

well not the first one after the tobasco sauce rocks....

9:04 am

looooooool

9:04 am

but all came out well in the end;)

9:04 am

it was odd becuz i didnt teach him that, he just came up to me as i was moaning and struggling to stand, nuzzling my hand and standing so stoic in front of me. sure enuf i grabbed his chain and he backed upslowly, at first i thot a fluke, but he did it everytime after that same thing.

9:05 am

labs are amazing in that regard afflamed

9:06 am

do they, or do they not, sell PRELIT christmas trees???

9:06 am

they do

9:06 am

they are masters in observation. They have minds that adopt and figure things out. Like how to get the food from places they shudnt

9:06 am

more like pre wired

9:06 am

i rest my case.

9:06 am

I sense a complaint coming.

9:06 am

and have prelet flats and houses

9:06 am

the new fibre optic trees are neat

9:07 am

this is true, ata, but i thought i should focus on one outrageous omission at a time :)

9:08 am

but i imagine if you find one with old style candle on it as in a display model,id blow them out before you stuff it in the car;))))

9:08 am

sneaking back in behind customers backs

9:08 am

bad liz

9:08 am

very sensible

9:08 am

depends what she sells;)

9:09 am

my first phantom is PILOT

9:09 am

did you have a wonderful time in Spain?

9:09 am

and my second is STETL

9:09 am

Reading Afflameds posts there - thats why I do all this insane stuff fundraising for Dogs For The Disabled - anyone who can train a dog like Oscar to behave like that must be a miracle worker!!!

9:09 am

oh wait, that would have to have an H

9:09 am

shtetl!

9:09 am

Ohhh Ata! Spain was fabulous!

9:09 am

wonderful!!!

9:10 am

Yes, it would (the village)

9:10 am

ok, my second phantom is PERCENT

9:10 am

yea customers spent lots of money before leaving :)

9:11 am

yay good for them!

9:11 am

what do you sell liz?

9:11 am

no no Ata - good for me!!

9:12 am

why do i always have the most trouble with P words? and possibly C words.

9:12 am

and good for you!

9:12 am

I have a little shop selling local books, paintings, photography maps and stuff :)

9:12 am

lol these guys are so sweet they bring me to tears. When you are your most down and depressed they softly sidle up and offer love and comfort

9:12 am

i want to have a little shop! in england!

9:13 am

Oh Aff, I remember now one time when I was really upset about something, Oscar was just young and he trotted off into the other room and came back with his manky teddy and dropped it on my lap :)

9:13 am

i wlould love to slowly go broke with a nice little book shop selling used books;))

9:13 am

awwwwwwwww

9:13 am

Well mine is definitely little ... but its not in England lol

9:13 am

What would you sell in your shop?

9:13 am

Mine are mainly used books Crossy

9:13 am

sorry, i meant UK, anywhere is fine. :)

9:14 am

i just love the atmosphere

9:14 am

By a petty little quirk Hurshy we aren't even classed as UK...although apparently we are GB? Go figure that out lol

9:14 am

yeah, books is a good kind of shop.

9:14 am

Crossy I love the smell of old books

9:14 am

where is sark again?

9:14 am

aww that is so sweet! Even the 'slowest' of labs get when their alpha human is sad

9:14 am

me too

9:15 am

i have several volumes that i actually hate but keep around JUST for the old book smell:)

9:15 am

Its one of the Channel Islands Hurshy

9:15 am

a little island, no less. sigh...

9:15 am

Oh Aff, Oscar isn't slow. Sadly! He'd be a lot more manageable!! His problem is he's too smart!

9:16 am

and very curious

9:16 am

Hurshy it is 3 miles long, one and a half wide and has 500 people living on it

9:16 am

i love olde books too (english spelling as a courtesy) :))

9:16 am

lol @ Liz

9:16 am

were you born there?

9:16 am

Hobbit liked my shop didn't she Ata LOL

9:17 am

No Hurshy I was born in Shropshire and grew up in Cheshire. I moved to Sark when I was 18.... all those years ago

9:17 am

ok off to work 44 words later - BYE ALL! *waving madly*

9:17 am

just a little bit :D

9:17 am

bye Aff

9:18 am

and did it... go smoothly? i mean, i know there are some islands, like in the mediterranean, where they aren't very welcoming of newcomers

9:18 am

I think the way its looked at here is that you may be a resident and you are accepted for that but you will never be local unless you are born here!

9:19 am

were you on your own or still with parents? was it hard to find a job, place to live?

9:19 am

it's like that here in the N/E of scottish mainland

9:19 am

I think it's the same here, Liz. It's not that people are unfriendly, and I have lived here for 27 years, but I don't think of myself as coming from here.

9:20 am

No I was offered a job here which was supposedly a seasonal thing. I took it because I had a break before I was due to start my new job after A Levels and College. I never left.

9:20 am

Thats about it Haz :)

9:20 am

lol liz we have a island just like that down near the city called toronto island and they are always at war with the rest of "the mainland" because seeing as they do not get any of the city services"water,sewer,garbage pick up" they pay less taxes on thier propertyBUT now the tax reassesment dofferential has slid so much,they are using a tazx base on the island from the 60,s and everyone is fighting to get on the list for the next property that comes up for sale there lol

9:20 am

Don't even get into the tax thing Crossy thats way too complicated lol!!

9:21 am

half the time the rest of the area just wants to raze the island and let the seagull have it again

9:21 am

I need ice cream. Its 27 degrees in here today

9:22 am

mmmmm icecream

9:22 am

mmmmmmmm *cold*

9:22 am

send Sam. he must be hanging around somewhere!

good morning Babblers

9:23 am

You know as well as I do that I have no idea where my son is lol Kids go feral on Sark in the summer!

9:23 am

hi Nono

9:23 am

nono:))

9:23 am

Good morning Nono.

lol Crossy that is the way most upstate New Yorkers feel about Long Island

9:23 am

Good gracious. What would social services say?

9:23 am

and I bet he hasn't got his phone either!

9:24 am

lol nono,is tha tax bases tween the two very different?

9:24 am

We do not have such a thing here Haz, but since we have little traffic and no crime..... its like going back to the 50's in the UK

9:24 am

er...no Ata, its down the side of my armchair (at the last look)

not sure about the tax base, but it seems like most of our tax dollors go to support the Island

9:24 am

lmao there's a surprise. well you'll have to get the icecream yourself then

9:24 am

sounds like a nice place to be liz

9:25 am

It is crossy. We dont even lock our doors

9:25 am

I'm conjuring up images of Just William and his gang with catapults etc.

9:25 am

i want to live in sark!

9:25 am

Good morning, fellow homo sapiens.

morning Judi

9:26 am

Good morning Judi!

9:26 am

Yep Haz that sums it up

9:26 am

Just William with added mad labradors

9:26 am

ROFL Ata

9:26 am

Now I'm trying to remember his dog's name.

9:26 am

You would have laughed today Ata

9:27 am

what did he do?

9:27 am

(Not a dog story!) I went up to the fire station to have a look at their open day....got given a hose to hold. When they switched it on I was physically lifted into the air and deposited into a tree!!!!! Just by the force of the water.

am running a bit late today so going to dive in and find as much as I can in the grid.......

9:27 am

Jumble - the pedigree.

9:27 am

sigh..a little used booke shoppe on a small island sounds fine(crossy pictures a hobbit house/harry potter magic store):))

9:28 am

LOL Crossy :)

9:28 am

whoa.

9:28 am

looooooooool liz!!

9:28 am

that must have been a sight!

9:28 am

LOL. Sounds very uplifting, Liz!

9:28 am

And did they use their ladder to rescue you?

9:28 am

It was so funny - until I saw the local paper camera woman hiding nearby!!!

9:28 am

Talk about making work for themselves..

9:28 am

please tell me someone took photos

9:29 am

LOL Haz, they would have preferred to leave me I think!

9:29 am

MUST POST!

9:29 am

It was only a little tree :)

9:29 am

still funny!

9:30 am

Come on now, for the sake of the story, you have to have been deposited 30 feet up.

9:30 am

practicing skydiving?

9:30 am

were you wearing a skirt? they may have adjusted just for you lol

9:30 am

Sorry Haz :) Ata do not mention the S word. I have to not think about that!

9:30 am

*innocence*

9:30 am

Skirt ???? Me????? ROFL not a chance - jeans!!!

9:32 am

not sure I can imagine Liz + skirt

9:33 am

mmm methinks problem with used book store on island is at 500 people and lets say each have 20 books they own,thats 10,000 books for the total population.in 20 years everyone will havbe read everything if each person reads 2-4 books a week lol

9:33 am

Well exactely Ata!

9:34 am

But if nobody locks their doors at night, you, the enterprising bookstore owner, simply sneaks in and extracts a few books from their shelves.

9:34 am

Crossy I stock local interest books, mainly out of print and collectable. I sell over the internet as well as in the physical shop. The only novels I have are for sale for charity....

9:34 am

good thing there's new books out every day

9:34 am

ROFL Haz. I like your thinking!

9:34 am

im just messing with ya :))

9:34 am

I know :P

9:35 am

i can see the new books coming in once evey 3 months in the hold of some fishing boat;))

9:35 am

9:50 am

liz,very,very nice site.laid out very nicely;)

9:50 am

hi all

9:51 am

Really? Thank you Crossy :)

9:51 am

I can certainly try! I did ask around friends and helpful people and they are all willing to put some money towards it. and I've got loads of old books to get rid of, I'd take them to my fav 2nd hand shop in Whitstable and guilt them into giving me money for them for the charity. etc.

9:51 am

hi Boo

9:52 am

and at the end of the day, I'll take donations for random bits and bobs of knotwork in the future!

9:52 am

Ellie and I are doing our money together. We have made exactely half the amount so far just from sponsors

9:52 am

hello every1

9:52 am

if they let me do it, I'll pester you about how to do that :)

9:52 am

I am SO scared. I'm frightened I might black out!

9:53 am

I'll be petrified if they say I can. But it's something that I've always wanted to do, but I know I'd never do it on my own!

9:54 am

hey, well, if you black out, that's time you can't be scared :P

9:54 am

heya phae

9:54 am

hi phae!

9:54 am

saw only one interiop photo of your shoppe,get some colour in there !! some curio items on the wall,few potted plants as it looks kind of spartian:)but i love your island! do you have a spare room in the back?:)))

9:54 am

I have to get the doctor to sign my medical form. They have to weigh you as there is a limit! I need to stop eating!!!

9:55 am

that's the one thing I'm worried about!

9:55 am

LOL Crossy that was the very first photo someone took in here and it was actually done before the shop was properly open. It is so bright and colourful in here now and you can't see one speck of plain wall!

9:55 am

hi, sorry, cant do it, too fat

9:56 am

God can you imagine! And Ellie is so skinny!

9:56 am

did they tell you the limit?

9:56 am

15 stone :)

9:57 am

phew. I'll be ok if I don't eat

9:57 am

I'm sure I put on lots of weight in the US *sigh*

9:57 am

diet from today!

9:57 am

Plus when I stuff Oscar under my jumpsuit...I must be near that ROFL

9:57 am

what do you guys need to be under the limit for???

9:58 am

refresh me 1 stone =12 pounds?

9:58 am

I'm doing a skydive for charity in October. Atas thinking of joining me

9:58 am

the word we can't mention lol

9:58 am

ohhh

9:58 am

Never understood the concept of stone weight. What does that translate into in American flesh?

9:58 am

hurshy, they are planning on throwing themselves out of a perfectly good aircraft!!!

9:58 am

can you imagine?

9:58 am

14lb i think

9:58 am

its scary Hurshy because I am very very afraid of heights

9:58 am

14lbs to one stone

9:58 am

hi Jac :)

9:58 am

you will LOVE skydiving liz!! just the first time when they toss you out of the plane is hard

9:59 am

10,000ft is very very different to a very tall building or something though

9:59 am

i weigh about 11 stone at the moment then, i guess!

9:59 am

heya Liz

9:59 am

i would like to lose 1 stone.

9:59 am

yes, scary, totally understandable.

9:59 am

I tried to go on a high tower thing in Spain to see how I felt and I went all dizzy and faint. I was close to blacking out. Out of a plane....well....

9:59 am

joking aside, i wish you well in this adventure and i'm sure the fear will go as soon as you hit terra firma again, just don't get hooked on the fear lol

10:00 am

i am not afraid of heights, particularly, i don't mind being up on high towers or in planes - it's the falling from the heights i might be more leery of.

10:00 am

No fear of that LOL

10:00 am

10,000 feet and a tall building is no different,just perspective cause if your chute fails it all ends the same,just a deeper crater;)))

10:00 am

can I have a clue for a top O word?

10:00 am

Although I did say never again after Jordan....and that was before Peru...

10:00 am

i abseiled once, only 40 feet, but the instructor said i was in actual shock when i finally got down

10:00 am

you arrive at the inn and you give your horses to the os6 to take care of.

10:00 am

oh God! Crossy!!!!!!! *faints and hits floor with a dull thud*

10:00 am

it sounds like someone who might own an olde inn

10:01 am

shhhh crossy lol

10:01 am

LOL crossy, that is so cruel

10:01 am

easy liz,the adrenal rush is incredible.when you have done the first one you feel like you own the earth

10:01 am

Proof that you pass out before you hit the ground.

10:01 am

12:24 pm

thanks from me too jac q.

12:25 pm

it can be so hard to remember things one has said in the past, and to monitor one's behavior unless one's attention is brought to bear on a particular matter. i would most appreciate you filling me in on any unpleasant patterns you notice in my conversation.

12:26 pm

No, hurshy

12:26 pm

You are a dear friend

12:26 pm

oh, good. i wouldn't want to have hurt your feelings!!

12:46 pm

There is no explanation for the capriciousness of Enable

12:46 pm

they obviously have never put up those wonderful trees then

12:48 pm

Enable is a source of constant consternation.

12:48 pm

i can imagine

12:54 pm

hi all - back to see if I can finish up. :-)

12:55 pm

Hey BR - better today?

12:57 pm

I am okay

12:58 pm

well that's good. :-) I was asking about the computer tho.

12:58 pm

I figure when you are posting, you are doing alright. :-)

12:58 pm

The speed is a bit better

1:00 pm

I asked some buddies who are way better at that sort of thing than me, and they thought we had covered the basics. They did wonder about your registry condition tho. Some stuff can hide in there that is tough to ferret out

1:02 pm

Frankly, my system is substandard --- if I keep it lean and clean .. I am okay ... o/w ...

1:02 pm

Thanks for the help.

1:02 pm

true - it was just the time frame that bugged me. If you are satisfied, that's all that counts. :-)

1:02 pm

1:23 pm

I kinda like the themes. It is amusing to see how people interpret them

1:24 pm

yeah that tead will get ya every time. ;-0

1:24 pm

I would take a more specific clue than that for the SL8

1:24 pm

I used to do the themes - I should be able to now - just switched to a MAC not long ago

1:24 pm

compound word jmc - muddy shoes would cause it

1:25 pm

or what the bottoms of your shoes would do in mud. with the mud part first

1:27 pm

hmmm looks like the 8 will have to wait a while for me

1:27 pm

no worry there are still plenty of other words I have yet to find

1:27 pm

sl 4 plus so 4

1:27 pm

it's two words already on your list probably sl4 and the other one

1:27 pm

2:02 pm

re7/8 re & the second part of lickety's name

2:03 pm

lynxx - you are truly an angel from heaven!!

2:04 pm

re7.32 when an elderly person has a break from their normal carer...or re & nastiness

2:04 pm

hang on - my halo is a bit wonky

2:08 pm

did you get the re7.32 Soodle?

2:17 pm

I said I wouldn't start this late if it were a big grid. But guys... this isn't a big grid, is it?? Evening all.

2:18 pm

Hello, sprite

2:18 pm

hi Sprite...not so big and really not so hard - after you find the words

2:18 pm

hi sprite, hi Babblers.. hi BR!

2:19 pm

hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you

2:19 pm

hi Aloy

2:19 pm

thanks lyn, glad I started then :) Hey Aloy! Terra is doing rather well, doesn't show any pain anymore. I am hopeful!

2:19 pm

Hello, Aloy and lyn

2:19 pm

Yes .. Once you find all the words, this puzzle is not so tough ..

2:20 pm

hi Tor

2:20 pm

hi lynxxx! oh, Sprite.. very good news re Terra!

2:20 pm

that goes for most puzzles, I've found. Hiya torg :)

2:21 pm

halfway September we are due back to the vet and then we will hear more. If necessary, x-rays will be made then to see how bad it is. But if all is fine, no x-rays. Because Terra must be sedated for x-rays.

2:22 pm

do you feed her any supplements , like glucosamine chondroitin?

2:22 pm

what has been wrong with Terra Sprite? hips?

2:23 pm

yes, very painful hips and way too much space in them. But at his age, it can all still change for the better. We discourage his jumping and standing on his hindlegs.

2:23 pm

no I don't... that is something I use myself, actually. Is it there for dogs as well?

2:24 pm

glucosamine can make the difference between almost not being able to move and bouncing about for Hobbit

2:24 pm

will check it out, thanks for the tip Aloy!

2:24 pm

our neighbor had great success with it for his G. Shepherd, so we tried it with our old lab.. and it did help

2:24 pm

a form of glucosamine is very commonly recommended for dogs here too

2:24 pm

hi Ata

2:24 pm

wonderful, thanks all

2:25 pm

mixed recs from vets, so I say it can't hurt to try

2:25 pm

and yes, dogs can take the human glucosamine, just make sure of the dosage. it's often cheaper than buying special animal stuff

2:25 pm

how much do you give Hobbit, Ata?

2:26 pm

um. let me go check

2:26 pm

I think I remember 1000 mg .. large dog tho

2:27 pm

yoohoo !

2:27 pm

I think Hobbit is closer to Terra's size. I think I would be ok if I gave him half Hobbit's dose

2:27 pm

hiya Aussie

2:27 pm

hi Aussie

2:27 pm

shouldn't that be Coooee Aussie?

2:27 pm

Hey Sprite :)

2:27 pm

Hello, Aussie

2:27 pm

nah, I'm a yoohoo, but COOOEEE fits too :)

2:28 pm

ps, hey Lynx :)

2:28 pm

and Hey BabRab, nice to see you

2:28 pm

she has 225mg daily, Terra should have half her amount according to size. But she does have up to 2 or 3 times that dose daily when she's having difficulties

2:28 pm

and ATA !!!!! Are you counting down to Oxonmoot yet ?

2:28 pm

absolutely! I'm making stuff for Oxonmoot as we speak!

2:29 pm

we used to grind it up and put it in his food

2:29 pm

WOOT WOOT !!

2:29 pm

all written down! Thanks a lot!

2:30 pm

it really has made a *huge* difference to Hobbit

2:30 pm

big difference for Taz, too.. he would lose his stiffness

2:30 pm

her tabs have 225mg glucosamine adn 162g chondroitin per tablet

2:30 pm

small public service anouncement.....NEVER BUY A MICROSOFT BRAND WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!!..had to return it and get another brand

2:31 pm

hi crossy.. bummer

2:31 pm

Thanks Crossy, and hello my sweet Crossy :)

2:31 pm

Hello everyone. I am blind to the co5 etc that begins just after dead things. Can anyone help?

2:31 pm

aussie;)))((()))

2:31 pm

hi crossy

2:31 pm

howdy sprite

2:31 pm

Nevermind..... found it

2:32 pm

just asking usually does the trick, Bugsaw ;)

2:32 pm

yup, that's the key

2:32 pm

It sure did this time. But when it is a REAL fish, it doesn't work.

2:32 pm

beautiful icon, Bugsaw.

2:33 pm

ah, but fishes are an exception to every rule :)

2:33 pm

Well put, sprite. thanks

2:33 pm

phantom: gaberlunzie

2:34 pm

gaberlunzie? Ok... *off to see what that might be*

2:34 pm

not in my dict, lol

2:35 pm

I think it is BR's middle name

2:35 pm

medieval scots for a licenced beggar :)

2:35 pm

a wandering or licensed beggar

2:35 pm

yayyy!

2:35 pm

interesting, ty sprite

2:35 pm

Wow! I like that one BR. Thanks

2:36 pm

guess it has too many letters for a Scrabble dict.. or is it proper name?

2:36 pm

also spelled Gaberlunyie

2:37 pm

medieval scots might not be in the Scrabble dict though

2:38 pm

found three birds in the grid so far, all hang around the ocean

2:38 pm

oh sprite - if you buy glucosamine from the vet, it's very expensive. there are cheaper sources, you just need to check the dosage. Internet, local pet shops etc

2:38 pm

another new word learned and another Babble day justified. Thanks BabbleRabble.

2:38 pm

a great online resource: http://www.onelook.com/

2:39 pm

thanks Ata, I will. Might even start at the local herb etc store here. They know a lot about stuff like this. Nature shop?

2:39 pm

thanks Aloy!

2:39 pm

ty BR.. made a note of that

2:40 pm

that's where I always look when the ? is a dead end.

2:40 pm

yw.. yes, I agree with Ata.. we found a huge diff. in the prices.. just bought from a discount store.. worked fine

2:40 pm

I get mine from the local huge pet superstore place. It's about 3 times cheaper than the vet. And sister gets her from an online vitamins and minerals shop!

2:41 pm

Your icon is quite amusing, sprite

2:41 pm

perfect! I will check it all out and make sure Terra starts on it tomorrow.

2:41 pm

it really should help

2:41 pm

thank you, BabbleRabble :) I needed a smile and thought I'd share.

2:42 pm

crossing my fingers for you

2:42 pm

thank you, Aloy, it will help!

2:43 pm

it does take a few days at least to kick in, don't expect instant results

2:43 pm

true.. give it a few days

2:43 pm

I won't, will give it time to work its way in.

2:44 pm

but not too many days, it's pretty quick. it usually works for Hobbit overnight, but she's used to taking it

2:44 pm

How is your finger doing, Aloyisius?

2:45 pm

ok, BR.. only sore when I move it.. (-:

2:45 pm

which is a nuisance with babbling! *sends healing vibes to Aloy's finger*

2:46 pm

I bet 'reptile' has been called as today's phantom before now

2:46 pm

ty sprite, and ty BR for asking.. it really is more nuisance than anything.. good excuse for typos tho (-:

2:47 pm

oh yes :)

2:47 pm

your icon is pretty amazing, Ata. Who's hugging a deer there?

2:48 pm

me!

2:48 pm

hi all...here for my first blush...

2:48 pm

thought as much! How did that feel??

2:48 pm

how does the grid look?

2:48 pm

hi pini

2:48 pm

hi Pinik, what's the blush for?

2:48 pm

Hey Pini :)

2:49 pm

hi Pini

2:49 pm

Howdy, Nonna

2:49 pm

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

blush? did I blush?

2:50 pm

hi all! :)

2:50 pm

they are. and their noses are wet and black and soft. their coat is in 2 layers - the outer scritchy coat and the underneath fluffy one

2:50 pm

good afternoon babblers

2:50 pm

hi Pini

2:50 pm

you said you were here for your first blush, Pinik, so I wondered?

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

Oh...THAT blush...my first run through

2:52 pm

really special, Ata :)

2:52 pm

2:53 pm

4:50 pm

antibiotic cream seems to work well also

4:50 pm

ooh, not nice, bloody things, hope you put some anihistamine cream on it soon, that will also help take the sting feeling away.

7:04 pm

son-in-law put on a bbq lunch for the staff where he works - steaks, salads, baked potatoes, etc. was lovely but also more than I usually eat mid day - could have something to do with it - and yes, did have a small glass of wine

7:05 pm

ok- time to go to the gym... I have 17 for later- this is a fast grid!

7:05 pm

how lovely Kate, fresh peach jam, yum

7:06 pm

made jam myself.

7:06 pm

wonderful Kate

7:07 pm

< puffs up with pride > ... no false modesty here today...;-)

7:09 pm

the company was very good to s-i-l when daughter was having their first child, let him take time off and kept him close to home (no travelling) throughout - guess he just wanted to repay their kindness and understanding

7:11 pm

i'd like to work for a company like that. mine beats us like rented mules

7:11 pm

there's certainly no justice there Kate, sorry to hear it

7:12 pm

no justice indeed, yet we soldier on

7:15 pm

not unlike this grid...feels like wading through wet cement now

7:18 pm

Wet cement?

7:19 pm

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

or allow

is there a list today?

7:32 pm

yes TO, it's up now

7:33 pm

TK... when will you commit and stop being a gray head?

7:33 pm

seem to have misplaced jai...perhaps she was not buckled into chair again?

thank lickety! i need 97 still

7:33 pm

when i find a bunch of money blowing down street

7:34 pm

easy peasy TO

7:35 pm

quite a greek chorus at times re: going pro, don't see other grey heads being asked so much?

7:35 pm

not true... we ask all that stay here for any length of time

7:37 pm

sometimes it can be quite snippy - not you

7:38 pm

take it as a compliment - you have become enough of the group that people ask you to commit : )

7:38 pm

I was grey for a year and some before one of my fave babblers ever saved me. trust me, we have all heard the request and it is honestly, quite reasonable.

7:39 pm

hi uni

7:39 pm

what's the green monster for?

7:40 pm

Oh, the list *is* coming up late in the day? Perhaps I'll get a grid done again sometime before summer ends.

7:40 pm

do not argue with reasonableness of cost. sometimes you all need to think outside your own sense of what cash strapped is

7:40 pm

I have to laugh, I asked to leave more often than I was asked to stay.

7:40 pm

yes, lickety has been busy, but usually gets around to posting it later... i imagine he is overwhlemed

7:40 pm

It's from a website - you build your own M&M. It's been up for a while, I haven't been around enough to remember to update.

7:40 pm

I was asked, that is

7:41 pm

build your own M&M - lol

7:41 pm

expect i'll be asked to leave soon enough

7:41 pm

hard to believe that br

7:41 pm

TK - I am a fourth year university student with a 60 k debt load and my store just closed so I am jobless. Please understand that many/most of us have an idea of budgetting.

7:41 pm

TK - I have NEVER seen anypne asked to leave... I apologize for saying anything... had no idea it would start all this

7:42 pm

but would you spend the money now if you were not already signed up?

hey uni!

7:43 pm

I never spent the money at all. Thus my statement that one of my fave babblers saved me. I was apparently so in demand that she decided to sponsor me. Hey TO!!!!

7:43 pm

no apology necessary kje, like you very much....just makes me feel bad that can't pay now....am made to feel cheap

colter

7:44 pm

lots of talk about...it's ONLY 15 bucks...

7:44 pm

I do not make a habit of lying

kate: do as you please. i played for a long timebefore i joined.

7:44 pm

If you are here after more than a few weeks/months than you will see many others suggested/requested to go pro. It is a long standing tradition probably stemming from the many trolls that used to frequent this former haven.

7:45 pm

oh,has it gone up? i payed 995 i think.. that was a year and a half ago

7:45 pm

Greyheads used to get lost in the shuffle of chat. Not so much anymore.

7:46 pm

TO - How've you been, anyway? I rarely end up being about when you are here.

7:46 pm

speaking of which, how is school, uni?

7:46 pm

have been here, what 10 days? 2 weeks? little early for the hard sell, doin't you think then

i am ok. only play nights and weekends as i can,now

7:47 pm

thank you TO

7:47 pm

surely, no one thinks i am a troll?

7:48 pm

School doesn't start again for a week and a half. Since the store closed a week ago, I spent some time at my fathers visiting and I am am off to Lori's tomorrow for a week.

7:48 pm

think it's 14.99 u.s. kje, not much more....

7:48 pm

oooo - fun... party while you can!

oh no, you lost your job?

7:48 pm

I find that presence in chat tends to dictate the requests for prodom as opposed to length of residence. There are fascinating and useless studies to be done here.

7:49 pm

well - i guess if you don't chat, no one knows you are there - LOL

i agree! so take it as a sign of affection.

7:49 pm

why chat is you are going to called a liar

cr6 pls? ty

7:50 pm

i agree TO - no one asks the annoying ones to go pro - LOLOL

7:50 pm

The store went out of business after a number of years in trouble. It was very hard for everyone (surprisingly so). We are all trying to figure out what to do now, :(

7:50 pm

are we involved in Babblanalysis tonite? :-)

7:50 pm

either that, or a signal to shut my pie hole ? ;-))

7:50 pm

cr + vowel + sun

7:50 pm

**thinks about how cupcake was never asked to be pro...

7:50 pm

not me une - i don't have the energy...

7:50 pm

cupcake?

7:50 pm

:-D

7:51 pm

i don't think i knew cupcake

7:51 pm

me either

7:51 pm

saw a cupcake here a few days ago?

7:51 pm

there are differing opinions about who is annoying

7:51 pm

troll?

7:51 pm

perhaps there was a 47 on the end? I don't remember for sure. Ask Haz about her...fun to wind her up. She was quite young and quite harpy about things.

no one asked me but then again there was more diversity then

7:51 pm

hi une

7:52 pm

hey, kate :-)

7:52 pm

G'd eve, Une.

7:52 pm

go pro = not troll

7:52 pm

hey, uni :-)

7:52 pm

well... no stupid harrassment usually = not troll

7:52 pm

Chat is very different now, even in the 2-3 years since I started. So many who have come and gone. There is still a strong core though.

7:52 pm

LOL une!!! funny icon

uni what re your prospects for emplloyment?

7:53 pm

gladja like it :-)

7:53 pm

Raise your hand if you have experienced the Australian kinderbrats! LOL

7:53 pm

quite sure i get up many people's noses....do in real life. just misunderstood....i hope

7:53 pm

quite sure i get up many people's noses....do in real life. just misunderstood....i hope

7:53 pm

we had some danish kinderbrats for a while... whoa!

7:53 pm

was that when a teacher encouraged some kids to play?

7:54 pm

in theory it was a good idea re increasing vocab . . .

7:54 pm

that was u.s. wasn't it une?

7:54 pm

i guess . . .

7:54 pm

TO, there are many places hiring for part time work, but very few I am interested in. I am going to be doing some volunteering and am debating if I can go the term without paid work as I would like to focus on school right now.

7:54 pm

no, the danes were teenagers wanting shock value... nasty buggers

7:54 pm

ooohhh, ok

7:55 pm

could you get work at school? maybe pub? should be many positions?

7:55 pm

hi everyone

7:55 pm

wonder if DrG has a record of all the trolls he's "removed"

7:55 pm

hi andree

7:55 pm

The Aussie KBs were introoduced to babble by a teacher - who did not monitor them at all. They used to return once every few months during the school year to shock us with their teenage antics. we have had similar groups from many countries :)

7:55 pm

(hey, BR, you sneaky lurker)

7:56 pm

Hello, Une

7:56 pm

hah!

7:56 pm

interesting thought une... we had the unflushable troll for a few days... the one who kept coming back in different forms

7:56 pm

just burnt a large pot of cumquat marmalade, phoned friend who provided the cumquats to get some more and try again, ho hum

7:56 pm

oh, jeez, i remember that . . .

7:56 pm

I intend to stay with bookstores, libraries, publishers and the like if at all possible. Money is not yet an issue as I am a saver so I am doing what feels right.

7:56 pm

bummer, andree!

7:56 pm

just kept signing on with different name?

7:57 pm

BRB . . .

7:57 pm

work school library?

then enjoy! i remember having to work during school and it could be a drag

7:57 pm

Perhaps you should just pretend to make some marmalade, Andree! Might be easier on yourself and your pots.

Afternoon people. SHould I start with only one or so hours to do grid, and dinner to force on myself?

7:57 pm

i don't like marmalade so daughter did taste test said its delicious like caramel

7:57 pm

travesty andree, do yoiu dare report that you ruined first ones?

7:58 pm

hi rede

7:58 pm

hi red.. no idea, just started

7:58 pm

this is first one like caramel, haven't got the fruit yet for second lot

7:58 pm

hi red, long time no see

7:58 pm

I am trying to imagine cookin/baking things I don't even like. Seems unpleasant.

Well, I am 11 in, now. So I guess I decided on my own...

Hi Andree. ork is much busy and not too fun

7:59 pm

10:40 pm

but having said that....no kissing in college? might as well extinguish the sun....not gonna happen with all those hormones flyi8nmg around

10:40 pm

yes, kate -- that IS how it works. but this time we understand the mechanism, and in theory we have the means to prevent its rapid spread through relatively simple, relatively inexpensive means. BUT the question is whether we have the will, collectively, to do what we know is the right thing.

10:40 pm

pr7?

10:41 pm

merci Une *thinking*

11:28 pm

oh, good point, stid ;)

11:28 pm

what are you short, stid?

11:29 pm

the netbook came with 1G installed, takes a maximum of 2. babblebrowser (like all things windows) sucks down a lot power, bandwidth and runtime.

11:29 pm

1G RAM?

11:29 pm

11:29 pm

11:30 pm

oops... *blush* I mean, I am NOT addicated! *stamps foot for emphasis*

11:36 pm

actually, kate -- I almost didn't babble at all this summer while all the madness was going on around here. spent all my time with my no4 in the stuupid books. SO glad to have a bit of time for frivolity again!

11:37 pm

11:40 pm

11:41 pm

thx stid

11:41 pm

sure thing pini

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

I used to be, kate -- it nearly sucked me under into the maelstrom this time.

11:42 pm

stid's gunna b a teechr

11:42 pm

Fireworks. Thanks for all the help. Does anyone know how big the next grid is?

11:42 pm

I am going into teaching. Middle school, hopefully focusing on remediation in reading and study skills.

11:42 pm

nm...got it

11:42 pm

11:42 pm

YAY peach~!!!

11:42 pm

LOL at pini

11:42 pm

pini's spelling.

11:43 pm

wtg peach

11:43 pm

I am not cut out for microbiology. Too much lab time, not enough people time.

11:43 pm

glad you survived stid....wouldn't be the same here without you

11:43 pm

thanks kate

11:44 pm

was your undergrad microbio?

11:44 pm

unclear whether you were part of conference...

11:44 pm

I am also, I have decided, not cut out for meeting coordinating. I HATED it. start to finish. Didn't have time even to visit with my friends who were scientists

11:45 pm

my undergrad was the all-time catch-all "liberal arts"

11:45 pm

back

11:45 pm

L A perfect for teaching...and allows you so much latitude in study choice...

11:46 pm

I do understand a lot of the microbiology, having been around it for nearly 30 years peripherally... but it's not my field of study. IF I were to do science, it would be chemistry. organic chemistry. OR I would be a naturalist with an emphasis on plants. I love plants.

11:46 pm

won't be heading up PTA then stid? haha

11:46 pm

I don't think I'm going to make it

11:46 pm

yes, exactly. I have a great deal of breadth of interest, and depth in history and linguistics (but not much "literature")

11:46 pm

naturalist = nudist in canada....

11:46 pm

go pini go! how many do you have left?

11:47 pm

39

11:47 pm

that's a naturist I think you'll find ;)

11:47 pm

11:47 pm

oops. forgot that little vocab shift.

11:47 pm

thanks for saving my bacon, atalante! hello!

11:48 pm

and hi :)

11:48 pm

I told stidkid #1 you are thinking of moving closer, and he was thrilled~

11:48 pm

hi ata.......spoiling my fun.....

11:48 pm

oh kate! you're a silly!

11:48 pm

11:48 pm

I hope this one's a small grid

11:48 pm

11:48 pm

Hey -- I want to load a few new pics I took today to flickr. brb

11:50 pm

picturing stiddie nekkid out in woods collecting samples of pond scum for testing

11:50 pm

11:50 pm

34

11:51 pm

go go pini!

11:51 pm

11:52 pm

*grins* if I hadn;t heard the complaint every day for most of my childhood, I wouldn't know either!

11:52 pm

okay, pics are loading. PLEASE don't be alarmed by the plume coming off the top of the mountain. St. Helens was venting a bit today, but the seismographs were barely wiggling close to the mountain.
