well, having spent my first 12 years in China I guess I'm prejudiced, lol!
still looking for vash's pu 7 8 8 any help would be appreciated
jus, pus sound a lot like a fish that's not quite a dolphin
I only have the pa7 and the dr7
to have pu_____ in life
sigh...thinking that there'll be no lickety again today :(
oh- ty Gort!
(technically, it's not quite a fish either, more of a marine mammal, but who give's a flying wallenda)
thanks locks
I hope he and his family are ok Just
glad you got it out of that roundabout clue dr
DR, I think they're busy with soccer or something.
I have a un 7 Dr... basically means unopened
but present tense and plural
ok I'm stuck at 64 left...forgot how tiring this can be
my un7 means au naturel -- like a snapshot
ok Thanks Jilli- was worried that neither of them was signed in
got that one- ty Jilli
looking for the other one
ythanks Jilli for that
I wish I had the "unopened" one
unopened = un + furry marine animal
ah- got it!
se***** with a kiss or rather un
more like to open
yeah, what dart said
still not getting the other un
natural photo just
when you are a model you do this for a picture
you dont do that

it is th eopposite of my clue
thank dr and dartie
yeah jilli, i got my turds wangled on the uns
did not mean to confuse
Still here, Jilli? :P

No, gortmold - you got your mords wixed. ;)
yes, JC, back again
uh oh
never, mar!!!
Why, Just?
don't know...just a feeling
Hmmm . . . why not simply ask her if that's the case?
Mar, I'm half asleep -- sorry if I missed saying hi
She is here, after all . . . ;)
oh good glad to know jilli
Aren't you, Jilli? Or are you hiding, somewhere?! :P
OH HAI
Oh, she was nodding off - there you are! ;)
I am halfway and going to bed! and no one is on my sh list at th emoment. : )
* the moment
I just replied, JC ;)
I see that, Jilli . . .

It's not my turn at any of our Scrabble games, is it?
HI and Bye Jai!
such confusion!
lol Dr me neither
and hai jai :)
hi jaia oh smart one
yes both 8's are pu
Alas this is not jai, this is an imposter
don't think so, JC

an imposter who comsumes choco martoonis?
one is plural..the other is past tense
shock, horror, non-jai!
nope
Good . . .

the p's yesterday almost were the death of me
twas the ta;s for me...sat on 1 left for more than 20 hours! lol
i was missing the dr 5...last one
jai should pour us all a martooni, if she weren't an imposter, bet she would
I haven't been able to do much babbling for the last few days -- and won't have much time for this one either -- especially if there's no Lickety
hope that means you have a wicked labour day w/e coming up jilli!
that long? i thought you were steadily whittling away at them...no wonder you have pulled half your hair out...
i'm missing one g: i have ga 4 4 4; ge 5 6; go 4 5 6; gr 4 5; gu 4
they drank chocolate/vanilla vodka martini's
that's was yesterdays grid kate...luckily I have very thick and very full head of hair so no damaged noticed
personally i think it sounds disgusting... i like fruity girl drinks myself
so the a's are ad 4...ag 4,6,5...an 5,6 ....ap 4,6,5,4,5....ar 5,6...as 5
no, mar, just bridge tomorrow afternoon -- and dinner out with my neighbours on Sunday -- the ones whose Kittycat I was looking after.
still sounds nice jilli....
jai-imposter -- I heartily agree
gu 5, vash
ty
come on up here jai...i'll makie you some fruity girly drinks that'll knock your socks off. ;-)
my sister taught me a really nice melon drink...well a shot rather
oh yes, nice, mar
but still its nice...strong and no huge kick to it
I've got 5lbs of langoustines just waiting to be broiled with garlic buttered breadcrumbs for my kids and m in law for monday
and the d's are...da 4,5,4,4,4,5....de 4,4,5,4,5.....do 4,4,5,4,5,4,4,4,5,5,6.....dr 4,6,7,5,4,5...du 4
I have 9 fa's and 2 fl's and 1 fu. I'm missing one. Any help?
do tell jai...
its midori, sprite, soco, and sweet and sour mix
you wouldn't think that whiskey would work but soco mixes REALLY well
same here arb...i'll look some more
lemon juice helps too but only if you like it sour...
i'm all for the taste-testing of it...
like whiskey sours
have 3 e's...any others?
sister called it a "Melon Baller"...more midori than soco obviously...
thx dartie for your lists ..so far
yeah thats what i guess, she taught it to a bartender down in the keys and then thats the better of the drinks i had that evening
7 e's dart
that and the washington apple...
yw :)
ty nurse
fruity girl drinks and fruity girl shots are good...
7 dartie
I think
that or just straight shots of 151 or the like...
f's so far (missing one): fa 4 5 4 5 4 5 4 5 4; fl 4 5; fu 4
There are 7 e's. I have 6: eg 4,4 eo 4, ep 5,6,4
i make melon ball with melon liqueur, vodka, cointreau and o.j.....delish
have same f's vash
ya know i looked up alot of drink mixes tonight and everything called for cointreau...what on earth is it...
no messin' around eh jai? 151...
i'm of the opinion that you either drink to drink with friends...i.e. fruity girl drinks...or just get right to it
me personally i like to start with straight 151 and then just sip on drinks...its a good way to make the rest of the night not seem so bad...
very nice triple sec. french orange liqueur, (saville?) oranges. delicious, much nicer than triple sec
e's are, eg4,4...eo4....ep5,6,4,56
its like...ok...well that was pretty much like drinking fire...everything else will taste great!
Seville
aha...see tripple sec i've heard of but cointreau i've not...makes sense though if its a citrus one...good mixing
probobly better than lemon juice -_-
grrrr... this keyboard. ep5,6,4,6
good grief, me thinks you are an imposter.....all this drinkies talk
aha, but i am an imposter
cointreau vry nice straight/on rocks...in coffee
i avoid coffee like the plague...kim and jean love it though...
not a fan of the bitter stuff...
okay, straight then
gape

GRANNY, iwas wondering where you went to...we had such a nice chat a while ago, i had been looking forward to another one...:o)
what happened granny?
gn, justie,sleep well
nope...same ones granny...missing that one t
wound infection, plus foot so swollen there were no pedal pulses
i.v.antibiotics for 24 hours and lots of rest
oh, no...so it got worse since we spoke?
sounds familiar -_-
the actuall jai has been in and out of the hospital so many nights now its not even funny...
that's dreadful granny. how do you feel now/
her leg is up to looking like an uncooked chicken wing...which sad to say is a step in the right direction...
another tu4 maybe?
yes kate. ppain started getting very bad...remember i was so down, well, that was why
hope to god you don't have what she had...
yes....just found the tu 4/6 that i was missing
kate, feel very wrung out. still tearful at times
have 7 L's...any others?
the actual needs some tlc...instead of worrying about everyone BUT hewrself...you tell her that for me
getting any sleep?
9 l's
there are 9 L's
ty
so far: la 4 5 4 4 5 5 4 6 missing one
so frustrating when your body lets you down, isn't it?
thanx jai
Vash, can you list the t's, please
thanx jai
same here vash
la 6/18
thanx " jai ", sleeping much better now
tu 4 5 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 5
good thing, the more you get some rest the better you'll start to feel. pain actually interupts the REM cycle that you're supposed to be having regardless of if you pass out or not
la4,5,4,6,4,5,5,4,6
its amazing what a full 8 hours or more will do for you
ty vash
ty arb
pain can cause nasty reactive depression all on its own...chronic pain is....A PAIN
have 12 n's...others?
still taking oral antibiotics gran?
sadly as i sit here and watch the actuall "Jai" sleep...well she's snoring loudly and in an odd position...i can only immagine the sleep debt she's got from over the years...
ty granny
only 12 dart, list ls?
there are 13 n's
told her time and time again, and this goes for everyone bothering to read this, a dark room with no distractions and GOOD POSTURE...its all important
comfortable, natural sleep...probably the most revitalizing thing out there...
yes kate, home on oral ab's, with pain under control, and me very determined to NOT do anything i shouldn't.
but hard toi do when you hurt all the time
oo4, sorry, dart, forgot the lower n word, as sash says, 13 n words
aye, circumstances tend to make people get poopy sleep, its just sad that so many people shave hours off of their sleep and enevitably lives because of it...
n's missing one: ne 4; no 5 4 5 4 4 4 5 5 4; nu 4
very good...don't try to rush it ...i know i don't have to give you "the lecture" about rest, elevation etc...and i'll send gladys around to see to you
no 6
no 6 vash
uhoh, the dreaded gladys * grin *
its actually funny...I studied a while to be a psychologist and one of the major impacts upon not just physical health but mental as well was bad sleep -_-
ne4 no 5,4,5,4,5,4,4,5,5,4,6 nu4
so yeah, to beat a if not dead than severly maimed horse by now... Get good sleep. It helps.
have 5 o's...anymore?
well then, gran, behave yourself until you are recovered or i'll use my air miles toi set nurse gladys upon you...then you'll have to behave
that's it for O's

Does anyone know how to post clues on Babblers Anonymous?
congrats arb too
sayonara
I've got a 40 hour drive towing an enormous trailer to get there, granny
poooof
seeing as the MRA Vic organise the group ride, i'm pretty surewe both will be riding down this year.
good night
no, arb, but you can post them in your profile, and we can copy it from there...
can do arb.
I envy your trip
Dee - I have tried to post clues in my profile but I can't do it
wonder why, I just put them in the description side on the right, hit update, and return to babbler's puzzle
*sigh*... alcohol buzzes are a short lived thing... g'night casual gamer folk
I'll try that
wow, congratulations granny rose, anike, and aloyisius. just stepped away for a minute and...kabang x3!!!!
jai, leaving?
does anyone know if the finishers are going to try to post a list???
That worked Dee - so there is a list in my profile if anyone needs it
could yu e-mail them to someone who can post them?
yeah the actual jai is snoring like a yeti atm and my buzz is gone so therefore my focus is too...
ty so much
and the realization that its 2:34 AM now insteald of 12:30 just sunk in too...
anike, you forgot to remove all but 2 letters of the words :)
instead even
oops I didi it wrong - I copied my list and the whole wrods are in there so had better go bak and wipe
anike, will you stay signed on so we can access it...and the ones to follow
glad the real jai is getting a good sleep, maybe you need another drinkie-poo?
I have to redo with only starting letters (I've wiped it at the moment)
Dee, do I have to type in each word separately?
eh, the wife is dead to the world so no point in continuing...and actually snoring means bad sleep believe it or not...
eh, the wife is dead to the world so no point in continuing...and actually snoring means bad sleep believe it or not... especially very LOUD snoring
eh, the wife is dead to the world so no point in continuing...and actually snoring means bad sleep believe it or not... especially very LOUD snoring
usually means sleep apnea
which means heart disease eventually...
ty, saw the post...just checking...someone posted list yesterday, then logged out...
woot, lag
I just figured out how to popst on Babblers Anonymous -- so the stats are there
quite the hiccup, jai-not
ty so much arb well done
ty arb
TK, if you want to find a babblerrs profile you can get it from the rankings
thanx arb, was halfway thru
shalom everyone -- have a good day
yeah when it starts to rain i think the modem tends to get wonky... especially if lightning is involved
yay me, found the pu 7, 8, 8 on my own yippppeee
nicely done arb, ty again
that and her computer is extrordinarily old... an e machine
so in other words outdated from the time they opened the box
Dee - for future reference, do I have to type each word stat separately or is there a way of bulk listing?
really jai-not? does a power bar help?
Dee, you're my hero!
if you mean for the modem disconnects not really, not in her case anyway
we may take up that collection for you yet jai-not... ;-)
I have never found a shortcut; I copy and paste the whole thing (like you did at first); then I go back and delete the letters I don't want; then update
it will keep the modem from blinking sure but the hardline running into the wall is another story
honestly she should just get a surge protector and run the line from the modem to it and out from the protector to the wall
don't know what i mean...don't speak geek
OK - I'll have a practice go
I haven't found a shortcut yet :(
heheh, i was a geek straight from the womb
what i mean to say is, because the telephone wire that plugs into her modem is into the wall instead of a surge protector, any time thunder strikes it will reset the connection
that's what i meant by power bar....
ah, there is a common misconception that a power bar and a surge protector are the same thing, power bars (i.e. the plain white power strips with nothing but plug-ins) don't actually protect against anything getting fried, they just let you power more stuff
am geek, just computer clueless. funny thing , studied computer programming/ systems design ..but the commadore 64 wads state of the art at the time...no such thing as a mouse
a surge protector (usually the big grey bulky ones) have circuits inside that trip when it gets a huge jolt...usually frying the protector but saving your computer
aha, old school geek, i respect that
i'm past the pong era but not by very much... we still had green screens in elementary school
i have surge prot. on comp. and tv stuff
jai sadly has just a power strip -_-
had slide rules in high school trig...
i think around third or fourth grade they ditched the green screens for packard bells
all told considering it was MS i'm still shocked we even had computers...
i dropped of after galaxian, pacman, frogger...mario bros was no fun for me
heheh, thats where i picked up at
by the time i was 3 i had a nintendo and they couldn't pry the controller from my hands
still true to this day ^_^
weren't no nintendo when i was 3...
poor jai-not not a very rounded upbringing?

the old atari games are fun but gaming truly took off with the first mario bros.
super mario bros...not the arcade one...

Leg like a chicken wing....oh, I am angery!

hi and bye jai
Jai. ITs ok

she doesn't have anything to be embarrassed about though...why'd she go? she's not going to sleep if she
' if she's that angry
hi jacq!
heya kate
is jai ok?
hi everyone
how's the bairn today?
heya andree
think so, just mad as a wet hen...
hi andree
she's off out with her mum and dad for a wee while, dad got back from college last night and hasn't spoken two words since he got up, moody little sh**
feel like a spare part in my own home today, sorry
Jac Kids do that
hi Andree
i know, but he hasn't spoken to his daughter either lady, and he hasn't seen her for a week, and barely saw her last wekend because he was out all the time
sorry, am just upset
accidentally spill your coffee on him maybe/ that'll make him talk
Kids are really horrid some times
not being available tonight to babysit will maybe make him think, but i'll wait till after my daughter goes out first
HOw old is kidbrat?
the moody one is 18, the cute one is 15 months and the other slightly less moody one whi is mine is also 18
has he got something on his mind ...guys aren't very good at talking, unless you make them
Oh dear
he's always moody kate, barely speaks as it is, but you would think he would at leas smile for his baby
15 mos. is good age...
it's a brilliant age, so cute and funny
school too much for him, with all in his life?
he sounds like a comp;ete pain
he's doing an apprenticeship, has to go away to edinburgh one week a month
only 18, still a kid himself...don't foirget sullen teenagers...fatherhood doesn't change your age
he is andree, thankfully they are looking for their own place but he's so lazy i worry that my daughter will suffer
kids these days!!
lol
will they stay in town or go toi edin.
Take everything off him see if he likes it
they will stay here, or in one of the small outlying towns
its funny how we worry about our kids forever , doesn't seem to make any differece when they grow up
so close, good.
18 isn't really grown up though
my mum says i was her biggest worry, yet i am the only one with n criminal record
My b.f left home at 16 bloody old enough for me
hi babblers, sorry to break into this rather serious and important discussion with no words of wisdom, but could i pls have clues for any of the eps?
18 isn't grown up and it's a horrible age
no
ep4/5 - anagram of what models do for photographers
thank you haz was struggling to clue that lol
hahaha, hi gort...haven't got any
thanks haz, nice to see you
morning everyone
hi katie
actually i do have a word of wisdom on the topic...
heya Katie
Hello gortmold - good morning/evening all.
not my own, Dr James Dobson's: "regarding the difficult teenage years..."
share please gort
speak gort
"...just get them through somehow!"
I left home at 21 but was not home much from the age of 19. B>f left home at 16
LOL
good advice
i grew up fast and was a lot more mature at 16 than these two are
but it is difficult and this one isn't actually hers
if it wasn't for the baby i would put him out
never mind a night out with he girls is just what the doctor ordered
talk to daughter...let her deal with it
going out tonight jacq?
i am now
good for you, invite daughter? leave him alone to babysit?
have a fabulous night, jac, hope it gives you the reprieve you need to recharge to tackle it all again
good for you, have a fun night
might give you a chance to chat
oh i will, have malibu will travel
beat them senseless and lock them in a closetr???
daughter is going to an xfactor party
malibu....mmmmmmm
xfactor?
talent show on tv
I love the xfactor, it's my guilty pleasure
singers from heaven and hell
gets her out anyway
it does
oh...how sad
guilty pleasure used to be dawson's creek
Ohh I really liked that as well, years ago it used to be on a Sunday morning here!
so you'll have a nice relaxing day....then goiung out later to look forward toi....lovely
don't tell anyone...really liked it, thought it was well written. if any kids watched it i'm sure their vicabulary inproved a lot
lol
confession time
dish it
is anyone else finding this grid quite tough?
Andree, it's not the easiest I've tackled, though not long in.
yes, 59 words, been here since flip...but just got list noew...also too much chat
i put his trainers (sneakers) in the washing machine and it ripped the sole off one
lolol
soooooooo saaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddd ;o)
brb got to hide the evidence
Jac blame the dog?
why?
what dog??
Um cat?
next time he'll wash his own nasty trainers
lololol i put them on the radiator in their room and made them look whole
have a nice cu of coffee jacq
i am so petty
lol
very good, you are sgt. schultz...you know nuthing...

yup all is well
Bye Katie.
andree, you're practically a lurker today...
bye katie
what fiun, bye katie
What's wrong with just doing the grid?
lol
nothing, yesterday she waqs chattier i think
maybe she has a busier day today
You need to make allowances for not everybody wanting to chat all the time every day.
nods
i don't chat a great deal
g's finished
good grief, it was just an observation. i meant no ill will
i don't normally chat loads
smiles we didn't take it badly kate
my sister says i could talk underwater with a mouth full of marbles
LOL
i like that one, andree. may i use it?
anytime kate
i probably mis-remember. there was a very lively chat yesterday thought you were a part of it.
the chog was very busy yesterday, probably because the grid was so hard
todays seems a little better
still trying to keep everyone straight...it's very difficult for me. especially without a face to match it to.
half way and ciggie time i think
i`m not finding this one any easier..lol...hello all
re you coming kate?
heya zooz
hi zooz...i'm with you...but only half-hearted attempt
yes please, just graBBED MY LIGHTER. ;-))
for my very last one, could i have clue please for the first un?
caps lock...agasin. might remove that button...
yes
i don't always feel like chatting sometimes like tonight i am tired and have enough trouble getting words without the added problem of thinking of something intelligent to say
un5 -take down the washing
I know, Andree, the intelligent things to say defeats me sometimes as well.
once again, haz, i dedicate these fireworks to you! thank you
LOL, Haz..all the time for me..lol
nice to hear you though, even if there are no earth-shattering pronouncements
WTG Gortmold!
thx for un haz
You're welcome, gortmold - congratulations!
yay gort
thanks andree, haz
well done, gort...any chinglish for us toiday?
well mythbusters is on and as adam and jamie are all that i could ever aspire to be, i must leave and glue myself to the telly
sorry trad, i don't have any new chinglish today, but i'd love to hear from anyone who does
heard from pet rescue today, they gave me the third degree
Any results?
wtg gort and bye
andree: is this because you are mean to your pets or have applied to work for them?
bye gort, enjoy
re: landlord's permission
?
thanks all for your company, nighty night
hello everyone
Hello trisha.
hello trisha
Hello, Trisha
hi trish
i'm struggling with this grid today
you're not alone
they are going to arrange for me to meet some dogs and go from there, they take themselves very seriosly
i got to half way and now feel bogged down
they haven't worked out i rent i'm still dodging that one
Yes, the taking themselves seriously is important.
gort, i have no pet to be mean to,lol
same this side of the pond andree. when animals have been abandoned/abused they check prospective care-givers very meticulously
TraderKate what side of the pond are you?
the problem is the kids, as they have no history on most of these dogs they don't know how they will be with kids
just tell them yes. if landlord doesn't like it tell him honestly, you're only watching for a while
how old are yoiur kids?
they have suggested when i go to meet dogs i take daughter and kids with me
n. america - canada
kate my oldest is 40,lol
Are the children used to dogs?
oh...prospective adopter's kids...
To be honest, Andree, although most people here rave about the merits of dog rescue etc, the fact that you don't always know the history or temperament of a prospective adopted dog does worry me.
they are haz , juliette's ex husband has their dog a lovely border collie and he was there before children
That's an advantage then, they'll know what not to do.
i agree haz, when they were going on about it today i wondered if i should just go to a breeder
generally a dog that has had t be rescued had been damaged
It's your choice, Andree, and for you to make the decision, if that's what you would feel happier with. Choose your breed carefully, choose your breeder carefully and seek advice from vets who know which breeds to avoid.
kate my daughter and i live together and she has 2 small children so their input is important
and since all abuse types cause psych damage i would be very careful, my daughter got a golden retriever, it was as good as gold till it saw a child or a cat
sometimes just neglected...people didn;t have necessary time...
the vet and the dog trainer said they had never seen anything like it
jacq we had the same experience with a dog from the spca, my daughter was 5 at the time
scary as anything
I'm not saying never to get a dog from a rescue place - I just feel people should have the choice where they get their dog from without being made to feel guilty. There are pros and cons on both sides of the argument.
i agree haz, completely
i understand now..thought you were applying to "baby-sit" rescued dogs until adopted out...wrong end of stick
absolutely Haz
ok am out of here for now bye everyone
bye trisha
Bye trisha.
bye trish
I find it rather incredible that people can have children and be married with less scrutiny than it takes to rescue a dog
lol i agree BR
I hear you, BabbleRabble.
i won't be made to feel guilty, i don't even know anyone who has a rescue pet other than babble, everyone i know have got their pets from a pet shop or breeder
ah, but adopt a child and you will be the recipient of the same sort of scrutiny
Good for you, Andree, it's your choice, you decide what's best for your situation.
so true babble
The safety of the children is your priority.
lol kate i have one of those too
i have known several excellent dogs that came from the shelters...but there are ocassional stories of the bad ones
i just have cold feet since i got the spiel about their dogs and children, even if i didn't live with 2 of them i still have 7 grandchildren whose safety is vital
so you know...it's important that the next home be the last home...
surely this is not an irrevocable decision?
I agree, Andree.
see how the dogs react to the children and let the children be themselves
you will know right away
if you fimd the dog can't be with children you should have no compunction about bringing it backi. after all, you are trying to provide a home for an animal...if they can't provide you with the info necessary info how can yu make an informed decision?
a's finished
yeah!
I need to get going. Andree, I hope it gets sorted out for you. They may well turn you down on the basis that you spend too much time playing word games on the computer.
Good morning everyone.
Anyway, off I go to the shops, my hated Saturday morning chore.
bye haz, hi elder
lol haz, bye for now
Elder - nice to see you, but just heading off! Maybe I'll see you later.
Bye!
Bye Haz. and hello.
hi elder
Haz, hope so.
shopping is daughters duty here,it bores me
heya elder
morning all. Well, technically it is afternoon here now
hi sprite
Hello Jacq, are you ok where you live , due to the terrible flooding.
well, have to leave something for her;-)
Hello Sprite.. good to see you after such a long time. re you all well.. including your puppy who I suspect is growing rapidly..
we're fine here and it seems the waters are receeding
good afternoon sprite
jacq, that is good news
but a lot of homes were damaged
will asda be able to deliver food today?
my son-in-law said there were cars flating about and a works van on it's roof, and that was just what he saw with the distance he managed to travel
elder, no, am not well, alas. But puppy seems to be fine. Apart from his hips, which are still to be rechecked, he is in beaming health. How about you?
osed to be here before 12
Jacq, thank goodness I read that many people were evacuated.. rivers bursting banks...
supposed
400 homes in elgin, 50 in fochabers and this corner was closed off completely the A96 was barely pasable at best in both directions as was the A95, those are the main roads from aberdeen to inverness and the feeder road for this whole area
as far as i know no-one was hurt
back later, dinnertime
thankfully
bye andree
Sprite, sorry to hear your feeling unwell. Hope your soon feel much better and your puppy is given a positive outcome.
bye for now Andree, enjoy your meal and good luck with what is happening to you (couldn't see in chat, just that something was(
Bye for now Andree.
bye andree, good luck
Jacq, are those the areas that would be effected with heavy snow falls.
sprite, didn't see post about being unwell, get better soon
got great advice here on food supplements for Terra. And I will have Xrays taken next week. Also full blood test. Doc fears there is nerve damage coming from lower back (feet are losing their feeling).
sometimes, it all depends on wind direction, if it comes from the sea then the snow won't lie more than a few hours, but if it comes from the hills then we can have loads of snow
sprite, i hope they find the root of it and you have a a speedy recovery
thanks Andree
Sprite, am really sorry to hear that, so I truly hope that the results are better and Terra's condition can be assisted, what a worry and expense.
thanks jacq, so do I. It is probably the reason I can't walk properly anymore. Would love to have it remedied.
Sprite I understand a great deal abut nerve damage from the back and its impact on mobility, so I wish all the very best.
but I am very glad that you are ok jacq, and that, as far as possible, the personal damage to your community is not as bad as it could have been
elder, I know! Was thinking of you when I heard. How are you doing at the moment?
my own community has been largly unaffected i think it's the people in elgin and forress and other areas, they have built houses ona natural flood plane for the river spey and the river lossie
Sprite, have had a rough three/ four weeks re the back and then flu.. making good progress and expect to return to work in the next week or so. Just need to get back some energy and brain cells.
Jacq, lots of problems in most areas due to building on natural flood plains..,the locals know so why don't he councils ??um...
it is an awful combination, elder, a back condition and flu, I know. It feels like back to square one or worse. But once you get your energy built back on it will become better again. And LOL at braincells. Don't I know that feeling!
the trouble is we haven't ever had such long wet winters and summers so people got complacent
now if you apply to build a house they trawl the records for any history or record of even a small flood
Thanks Sprite ::) and you to .
brb
Jaqc, better late never, I suppose.
I was wondering, jacq, didn't want to say it might not be smart to build there. But yes, that is how it goes. When a bad thing doesn't happen for a long time, the threat of it lessens.
i agree elder, but the part that makes me really angry is that our council has allowed these people to build on this land and have built their own houses on this land yet their own insurance company won't cover these people for flood damage now
that is unfair
i was speaking to a nurse from elgin and her whole pay goes on insurance premiums
that is so sad
it's part of a council tennants agreement that they will have insurance for buildings and contents, if you don't have this you can be evicted
47 left and i think i need another coffee and ciggie perhaps
The councils should and do know better know they have all the info... goodness knows where the local councils are planning to build the thousands of houses/accommodation required particularly in the South / S.E.
they are building new houses here elder, on a field that floods every time it rains heavily, it's at the bottom of a slope which is at the foot of the hills
they are building new houses here elder, on a field that floods every time it rains heavily, it's at the bottom of a slope which is at the foot of the hills stupid
good idea jacq
brb ciggie time
words fail me..
and me
and that's a rarity for us both :)
lollllll
back
wb jacq
LOL
ty
hello again. that was a quick ciggie.
i only ever smoke half a ciggie
just making and lighting it? ;)
and..... 5 days till S day
yes sprite
baccy is far cheaper but it tastes awful it will all help for stpping
oh wow! Good going jacq! Am rooting for you.
me too lol
wish i had never started again
Jacq, herbal tobacco is even worse, if that helps.
can't get it here, if you ask for herbal they look at you like you just ordered a joint
lol...
it's true lol
grin sounds dutch to me
lol
Sprite could send it to you :)
oh no thanks
brb
I have to admit I never ever smoked a joint. Wouldn't know where to go. But I could find out if need be, lol.
did chat freeze or just the chatters?
Chatter... I seem to have stalled..
I started in the left bottom corner and it seems about all words do start there, lol. I wonder if that x get to be us4 at all today.
You might find it ne4, Sprite.
gets/will get. Sheezz sprite
Hello everyone.
Jac! Thanks :D Now I can stop wondering.
Sprite I have one ne/4
:D
thanks elder!
Hello Jacula.
Good morning elder.
how are you today, Jac? *hug*
I'm putting off going shopping, Sprite. Just dragged my washing in because it looks like rain AGAIN.
ah, one of those days! Babble is a good thing then. Is shopping absolutely necessary?
'Fraid it is, Sprite. Need fresh veg that I can't pick from the garden.
just found pagode/pagodes. Those elegant chinese/japanese shrine buildings. Isn't that an english word or is enable being daft again?
Here on the south east coast we have had very little rain over the last month and its telling on the garden.
It ends with a different vowel, sprite. (And thanks!)
too bad, Jac. For me, best is to do it right away then and afterwards reward myself with lazing about. What works for you?
Hadn't spotted those. *grins*
Awwwww I apologise! Shzzzz I am really stupid today. Thanks Jac, and sorry everyone.
Either works, sprite. But I'm still in my tea in the morning phase at the moment.
*even apologises to enable before crawling off to sin bin*
elder - it's been mixed sun and showers here in the Midlands.
tea is always good ;)
I don't think many people noticed Sprite.:)
lol elder, who knows how many lurkers there are atm.
I just tried the Japanese temple with a latin ending. Doesn't work. LOL
Morning all HAven't gridded much recently and my brain is feeling very rusty.
Hello FMitch .. good to see you.
hi FMitch, missed you dearly. We even had to blame spellit yesterday, for lack of your lovely presence. Are you ok?
You too elder and spritey sprite and Jacs and jaq Fine sprite just been busy with real life stuff - work and all that sort of babble distraction :)

you started something here, elder, lol
there is nothing there, 3 meals and a load of fruit and baby wipes
ouch that won't last you long. But at least you will be hungry and clean.
Sprite.. fantasy can be such a relief..
its lovely here, am sitting in the garden at the moment
I fully agree, elder :D
Sunny and warm here too.
really kallia? it's raining here again
we all need our fantasies :)
HAve already been out and done my shopping *tries to look smug but fails as halo slips down*
well I am in Hampshire Jacq
my fantasy is really complex and involves the moody one in an iron maiden
lol FM, i had to stay in for the shopping delivery
that comes close to tmi jacq ;)
I havee too FM...really been a good girl today
FMitch.. good for you.. lol
proud of you anyway, FM
ohhhhhhh...well I want tell mine lol
It's sunny and warming up here too and thank goodness the winds have dropped.

no I mean I WONT!
lol kallia, share!!
I stayed up wayyyy too late with my son, watched a movie with him and had a late-night snack. Very irresponsible but we had a great time.

ohhhhhh ok jacq, now I need to know what you decided!
thats sounds fun sprite
never hurts to be irresponsible sometimes...a great for your son I bet he loved it
I need to take a break.. Pleasing to catch up with you all. Will try to be back later..
i decided he stays till he agrees to do the garden too and the laundry

I am hoping so - the humidity finally broke here
i don't uaually watch for that...tried a few times...once was an easy grid and i got threm fast; but usually i waste a lot of time looking for silly words when i could have found so many others in less time
I don't really, but I just noticed it - :-)
were you humid down there lately? didn't realize...ours broke a week ago, but it was brutal for 10 days
4 months solid kate - awful
happy coiincidence. ^_^
:-)

hi jacula
Hi Wolvie.
jac!!!!!where have you been??? i've been asking about you!
just mess with those letters and you have a word. :-)
rhymes with larg
I know, Wolvie. Thanks anyway.
Kate - I've been around but too busy for the chog.
i figured you did, was joking around. ;-)
I'm not really here now - I'm food shopping. LOL
salacious crumb has also been conspicuous in his absence
glad you had time to chat a minute today
busy day for you again today jac?
Enable doesn't like Dutch cheeses - never allows Edam and now not Gouda. LOL.
harumph..silly enable
Kate - yes. Shopping (real not by internet), ironing, gardening....
what do the 8's start with?
oh, i finally got the expert..just can't get it installed properly. can't figure how to re-size. it seems if lickety is up next to babble; i can't see the chat log
pu - Wolvie. I have both.
ironing is a bad word in my house...gardening is nice though
Kate - I have it but don't use it, so can't help. Sorry.
i have a pu 8...that's all
pu - okay - I will look - ty jac
lickety is up
Extends the pu7, Wolvie.
yep - I got it after you said pu's - should have seen them. ty. :-)

bye jacq!
*go to the supermarket.
'Byeeee.xx
Good morning/day to all.
leaving? bye for now
hiya scrab!!
hi scrabs
:
I have time to Babble before another kayaking adventure.
how was it yesterday?
LOL, Kate, are those your eyes spying?
good, just another typo , courtesy of me. ^_^
It was magnificent--sunny, hot, a beautiful lake. We found a nice spot to relax with lunch, reading + swimming. And we made a campfire, not for the warmth but for the nice smell.
sounds wonderful - pics up on FB?
i was in babanon and noticed that the first of every month is bunny day...very nice ; but what are you a founding member or something?
jealous...except that nothing smells worse than a campfire once you're away fom if and have had a shower...
Nope, it is to celebrate my new job. My last day is Monday, Sept 28th. I will escape an egomaniacal, critical, bullying boss.
I am not one of the oldsters here--I have been here 3 yrs and some 4 or more. I forget when Babble was born.
hurray for that...just thought it was every month...it is every month posted..glad yu're getting away. did the personal days issue get straightened out?
at least 2005..the icon themes have been going that long
do you have any time off between jobs?
I have to edit my letter and then e-mail it--probably tomorrow. I am basically presenting the options.
Yes, 11.5 hrs, Kate. Haha. I need to earn money.
What type of work do you do, Kate?
you have a tough schedule scrabs - glad to see you can squeeze in some fun. :-)
poor scrabs, under paid , and over worked
drive trains
engineer
really kate? how cool
Life is short and there is no guarantee of good health, so I am having adventures!
sounds like the right plan scrabs. :-)
Wow, cool, Kate! Subway? Other trains?
Kate, primary care physicians, especially pediatricians ARE overworked and underpaid.
good for shock value when i meet new people. all the people on face book are almost all guys i work wiyh
My father is a mechanical engineer and when we were kids we would tell our friends, "My father is an engineer but NOT the kind that drives a train." We really didn't know what kind of engineer he was though.
no, like your n & W or chessie, burlinton northern etc. big honking 18,000 foot, 20,000 ton freight trains.
but i do passenger trains as well
Super cool, Kate! I always wave to you!
^_^
yes scrab, that was confusing as kids
very neat and fun I bet
i always wave back!
hi kje
GM, kje
i run into buffalo south you know.
gm all
Out here in the country, where I live, we see trains a lot.
the yard is near the airport near dick rd. and #33
you're southern tier?, i forget
Really, Kate? I bet you go through Lakview where I see trains--where I wait for them to pass.
Yes, and that yard is near my current office! That train goes over I-90!
pretty cool - you guys can wave to each other. :-)
I picked someone up at the Dick Rd station 2 yrs ago--they came from Albany. I brought them up to Niagara Falls.
pard
through the border at buffalo/fort erie.....through north buffalo( within about 8 blocks of where i used to live)...and on to south buffalo, where we get shot at ocassionally
o***! sorry
Once I took the train from Buffalo to NYC to visit a friend while in college. Beautiful ride through the country and then south next to the Hudson River.
s' okay woilvie..
that's for passengers, at dick rd?
oooooo - scrab - I have heard the ride from NYC to toronto is gorgeous
would like to do that in the fall sometime
The tracks are behind my friend's home on Depew Ave, near Starin. Where did you grow up, Kate?
amtrak's a nice ride for sure used to run those niagara falls to toronto
Yes, passenger station is at Dick Rd.
oh, my god...
I grew up in Amherst.
north park just north of hertelbetween deleware and starin
my school, ps 66 was on starin
Which high school, Kate?
can't remember wher ps 86 wads..fruther noth and east, but not wuite to kenmore rd
Ah, the North Park Theatre.
sounds like old home week - neat. :-)
grade school onlky...ps 66 grade 4..ps86 grade 5&6
I saw the sting in first run at the north park
How did you end up in TO?
my grandpa missed sunshine's supermarket when it finally closed...he hate tops
well, I am off for awhile - errands to run and such - have fun all - i will bbl
Bye, Wolvie
sorry, wolvie....hugs and kisses,,,be good . talk soon
I think that is a "B-Kwik" supermarket now.
probably,haven't been there in quite a while except passing through.
Hertel Ave has blossomed into a wonderful district, and the Italian Festival is held there every summer.
kje, did you find the ovary word?
there used to be the greatest jewish deli on north side of hertel just east ofr n..park...pickles from a big wooden keg on flooor 10 cents each
There was recently an article in the paper about the Jewish delis of Buffalo.
not surprised...lots of italians there then. quite a few jewish and a few poles. mostly italian thoi
there used to be some good ones.
Bob & John's Italian Restaurant.
latkes...liverwurst on toasted bagels..when no one ate bagels...yummy
Good Morning Scrabbler and Trader, how is all?
GM, red! day off?
lunetta's pizza at deleware across from the big library
hi red
how are you?
hi red
Yes, good one so far, ran my 7 and now jsut relaxing.
Hi kje.
The 2nd Lunetta's Restaurant is in Cheektowaga, nearer to where I grew up.
the origional taco bell was the one on hertel just east of deleware
are there any ted's hot dogs still left?
Now Mighty Taco reigns in western NY!
i mean mighty taco,sorry
Numerous, Kate!
mighty taco? sounds horrid
mighty taco rocks
I stopped at Mighty Taco in East Aurora last night for 2 veggie burritos---yummy!
reaqlly good...not frankenfood like taco bell
the best, kje!
numerous ted's?
hi kje!!!
how are you?
not everyone has access to the good old taquerias in Texas, kje!
good
sounds like you spent quite a bit of time around there yurself...
red - i made a deal with my PT - she gave me advice, and I am taking her to lunch... I am taking her to the taqueria at the gas station
you talking about those taco vans? someone was talking about those one of my first days here
LOL, but I thin kyou said that one was awesome?
it is awesome... she kept saying, no, that's OK, you don't have to do anything
so I said, no worries, I am tonly talking about eating at the gas station... she said, OK then
taco vans and the local taquerias are usually the bes,t but I dont think they are present in Western NY, unless it has really changed....
not sure what taquerias is, but think not
There are hot dog vendors--downtown, but no taco vans that I know of. Yes, Kate, Ted's Hot Dogs are everywhere in WNY
no taco vans, i'm sure
these tacos are 2 small home-made corn tortillas (usually 3 inches or so), meet of choice, onion, cilantro... then you put salt and lime on them
yippeeeeeee for ted's
its a taco place, in Spanish. Taco Van very popular in Seattle, and also here in FL.
the 'kraut...and the chili and the cheese
a place you go in and sit down? or take out counter?
Arrrugh, No Gouda in grid.
no redam either...
Its a Van, so you just but and go, but in the gas stations ones there are usually a few tables.
someone else already tried...never takes it
less than 1/3 with tables... most just sit on the curb and eat
so the mom and pop ones are the best...just look for the crowd of locals?
argon
argons
oops
damn
TY kje.
b-bye
leaving kje?
or to PB
kje, are you still present? I have a question.
leaving chog
TY, kje
what red?
ty kje
we lost red?
I asked scrabbs, but seeing as you deal more in BP. I the morning I am having BP of say 120/87 to 120/90 by afternoon its like 117/71. Heart rate is like 45, should I be worried??
hey krispy kreme in the grid... kinda makes me want one
worried about what?
the pressure of 120/90.
BP fluctuates through out the day, DBP > 90 is not good, but that data is sustained BPs, not occasional ones.... no one would treat you at that level
scrabs....can't scroll back to start of our chat...you had a friend there?
my advice... stop taking it so much
seriously
I tend to worry because of my Moms odd Stroke years ago.
how old is mom, and what do you mean by odd
bp always highest in am...that's when most heart attacks happen 7-10 am. regular circadian rhythm dives in afternoon..so does bp
My Mom is about 70, but she had an event where she lost al hearing in one ear, went to Hopkins for eval and they concluded she had a very odd CVA based on her symptoms at the time, etc.
localized CVA... lacunar infarct
red... you are not 70 ; )
Yes, trader, I know but a pressure of 90 is never good.
No but this occurred when she was about 55.
kje is right...but i'm no doic
kje is doc.
but, no, I do not think you should be concerned with those numbers currently... but if you wanted to do something, decrease your sodium intake to less than 2g daily - excellent evidence for prevention with that
like temp...there is a range not a hard number for normal
yes
I will try that kje, though it may be hard...I'm using a lot of sodium infused gels with the running....that could even be the issue.
and if you feel you must do more, then I would suggest a baby asa daily. In women, asa is more effective at preventing CVA than MI, opposite in men BTW, but given your low RF and younger age, the evidence does not require you to treat so young
Kate, I have a friend that lives on Depew Ave--train is in backyard.
are you taking your BP pre or post run?
I only take it on Non running days.
RF = risk factors, BTW
how far are you running daily, red?
or however often
About 20 miles a week. ABout to increase to 30 soon.
hi, kje, what is a baby asa?
asprin, I think/
in 3-4 runs?
Hiiiii Annie! Serves up peets to Annie, kje and Scrabbler and Kate if they want!!!!
and hello everyone
Yes kje.
low dose aspirin
its usually 7-8 miles.
Oh How lovely, thank you red
ty, red...will happily accept
acetyl salicilic acid (ASA) aspirin, knew red would know that
Scrabbler? are you going kayacking today?
GM Annie!
at that mileage you really shouldn't need salt gels... I bet if you stop them your BP comes down
sports drinks or water + banana/orange?
Yep, new place for us = 18-Mile Creek from Burt Dam to Lake Ontario and back. Supposed to be a nice paddle.
Hi Scrabbler
I take a baby ASA qd.
its the heat kje, I am losing a pound per mile which is extreme...
gm annie - long time... how are you? and yes, I am drinking my peets as we speak
why scrabs?
I just ordered another pound of Peet's..love that coffee
you lose 7 punds per run??? seriously?
what kind annie?
the gel is much easier digested while running kate.
Still on the House Blend
Yes kje, its hot hot hot and humid here.
fla...thought you were more north, like n/eng
A cardiologist friend advised that I take a baby aspirin daily despite being in my 40's because I went into menopause at 43--ovaries removed
*stunned at red's wt loss when running*
usually runners will adapt to the environment and sweat composition and volume changes appropriately... I would have thought you would have adapted by now
i see...didn't realize u were in that heat
me too scrab... that is very unusual
all water scrabs...well mostly probably
annie - my new fave is the new guniea... delish! but I think I like mine more robust than you do
When is the best time to take a baby aspirin? AM, PM or it does not matter?
thpought you said qid- 4xdsaily
doesn't matter... but needs to not be on an empty stomach, and should not lay down afterwards (which is true of any pills)
I think the New Guinea would knock my socks off
We all lose that much it seems. dunno.
thanks, kje for that info re: aspirin
Tonight I am the MD at the HS football game locally--hoping for no injuries
fancy coffee?
Everyone else is having a very similar issue, as it is cooling off, I think it will reduce.
Scrabbs, have fun!!!!! I hope there are no injuries as well!
I am drinking Maxwell House coffee--I am a mere commoner, a peasant.
lucky you scrabs...
This is part of new job--school MD and covering football games.
one of my favorite peasants!
good morning Babblers :)
good morning all
Hi Nono and inge.
I do lead such a simple, frugal life, Annie
red - all I know is that running 5-7 miles at a stretch should not require salt gels, but does require sweat replacement fluid (like gatorade) - if you aren't regaining volume status post run with oral regydration, I guess the gels are the next best thing, but use the minimal needed
GM Inge the Second!
Hi Nono and inge2
hi nono, hi inge
whats the address for Babble Expert?
And Nono slipped in there too!
Hi jayde
nothing wrong with Maxwell House Scarbs, I use the lite blend myself to cut back on the caffene
hi scrabbler:)
E-mail Lickety from his clues pa4
we have an inge2??? when did this happen??? inge reproduction? may need to study that
Aw, Bunny Miss Bea is busily and carefully grooming herself---SO cute!
hold on Jayde i think i have it in my email
more aqaaccckkk
I've been here for several years, kje, but always a lurker
For a while we had a boy (hodag's grandson) using various names, including Inge3--hilarious!
I have recently bought Flogers Smooth decaf blend as I am decaffinating, and it is actually much nicer to the tummy!
Hi Inge 2 welcome out of Lurking!
but, Inge the first and I do have a lot of coincidental things in common.
okay
Scrabs, I remember that. Is hodag's grandson still around ("mousey" was it?)
not lurker...STEALTH BABBLER, as haz has suggested...
:) traderkate
I remember mousey..I wonder where goldies is? Cute little tyke from Chicago?
here it is: http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /BabbleExpert12_FireworksForever.zip
^_^
I have not seen Mousey in over a year. He probably realized that he didn't fit in with your average Babbler.
Thanks Nono!
And where is Lori?
your welcome
he did bring down the average age, scrabs :)
And Madi95 occ shows up here--a nice kid
is there an aerage babbler? or is it a range?
I think Lori has been in stealth mode lately
ok, must run... mani pedi to go to.... happy babbling all
there were some StidSiblings too, I think
have fun kje....
have a good day kje, and thanks for advice.
good to see you annie - don't know how we keep missing each other
bye kje
and Danf's kid Darthdude.
Bye kje

Srabs, Annien Nono, kje, red - Hello!
FM!!!
hi fm
Pours FM a cup of something...tea?
hello, Fmitch
that will do fine thanks red :)
Hi all
good morning babble friends!
Hi FM! *tick*tick*tick* for us
Hi trif!
Hi Trif!
hi trif
Hi trif!
hi trif
LOL Scrabs, nearer for you than me, just.
MOrning everyone; just grabbing my first cuppa coffee too (Dunking Donuts blend, bought at CostCO)
Yep, just a few days remain of my 40's!
need talking into or talking out of - I got an email from a friend, saying there is a huge book sale/yard sale going on in the next town, to raise therapy money for a sick kid. Love the idea of helping a sick kid, but do I need more clutter and stuff around here? but oh - cheap books! did I mention cheap books?
Hi Nef, and off to the PB for you--do5
I'm cooling down the coffee for a nice iced one with ice cream on the porch later.
Trif, I would go with lots of cash!
I've edcided to ignore mine as most best buds are flung to the 4 winds atm so will do it another time.
Go for it Trif
hey, red, Have you considered that you might be dehydrated (chronically)?
ooooh.....feeling the pull of the cheap books.....
just forthe fun of rootling around and you never knowwhat you might find.
Yes, Trif--how wonderful!!
books are fine...you can give them away when you're done with them...no clutter!
solution: go and buy some BUT...bring some of your s as a donation as well..esp if you have doubles, old pb's things you didn't like...
OOOPS! I havent'even looked at the grid yet! PB, here I come!
they don't call her TraderKate for nothing. :-)
Great idea, Kate!
never give books away..books are babies...this is why i don't go to library...don't want to give them back...
yw
I thikn it's probabaly too late to donate anything, as they would have to price them, put them out and all. The sale started an hour ago, and by the time I get there, two hours will have passed. still worth it?
ty
Good morning/afternoon all.
Haz!!!! Hello there :)
Trif, absolutely
Hi Hazel!!
Hello!
probably all 1 price for har 1 price for soft...maybe with a few exceptionds for special/ really expensive ones
go for it Trif, you mightbe able to stock them up too if you do hae some books to get rid of.
hi haz
Haz, your name was just mentioned :-)
okay. i'm off. be back later with tales of unnecessary purloined treasures!
have a good haul, trif
just don't bring them roimanmce novels....
LO good hunting :)
Oh dear, that usually means I'm in trouble.
living vicariously through you today, trif, have fun
nono, Haz it was in reference to your description of people like me as "stealth babblers" :-)
I love romance novels!
which is apt
hello Hazel
hi all
Hi JM
Ah, I see.
Hello jmc
Hello Scrabbler.
trader if you had settled as many estates as I have you would give away your books

P+ not easy is h***
ok i have that one.
origin is actually sanskrit
hm- that is interesting
Towerlike multistoried structure of stone, brick, or wood, usually associated with a Buddhist temple complex and enshrining sacred relics. The pagoda evolved from the Indian stupa. The pagoda's crowning ornament is pyramidal or conical in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos and bottle-shaped in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. In other parts of China and in Korea and Japan, a pagoda is a tall tower repeating a basic story unit in diminishing proportions. The stories may be circular, square, or polygonal. The pagoda form is intended mainly as a monument and has very little usable interior space.
seen in many far east countries... so japanese or chinese are both correct
i am so stuck i dont have the pa 5/16 and cannot see anything

hey BR!

hello, stid
sorry stid....I guess that I should be grateful for my "no lifting over 5 pounds" restriction!
I could live with that, mccurl! LOL
yeah, but makes working in the print shop a little tough.....a ream of paper weighs almost 5 pounds that totally leaves out lifting the case!
ty for all help byeee
later joanne
be well, Joanne
ty
u2 both and all
that's true, mccurl... but once you are healed up properly you will be glad you paid attention to the restrictions.
yes I know. I do like just "relaxing" on the weekends...hubby has been good with housework!
good for hubby! *approving mama look*
mccurl, did you know the Trader Joes in Olympia just opened last week?
went yesterday and got some of the nice choclits that I can eat.
might be a good "field trip" for you sometime.
I stopped in last week and found a few things
LOL you're fast!
there are some "UFO" choclits with real peppermint oil in them (the only mint my body still tolerates) and I LOVE them!
anyone heard from Crossy today????
no, haven't seen him yet science.
but since it's Saturday, maybe mrs cross had chores for him.
I saw a dark chocolate bar with bacon yesterday and thought of him immediately! If I had his snail mail address I would have sent it to him!
LOL really???
sounds intriguing. I like the chocolates with chili in them. they're nice. but chocolate with black pepper isn't my favorite
Yes I was in Whole Foods!
i need an se 6/18 clue pls
I don't think we have a whole foods near us. I think there are some in Seattle...
I wish we had a whole foods or a trader Joes. and Hi all, she says as she crashes into the conversation...
hey red! ((hugs))
I don't have that yet, science *looking*
we call them 'whole paycheck'...
are you sure it's not a 6/21 you need?
Hugs stid back.
sorry stid, i had to call daughter in Fed. Way about the roofing project we were supposed to do. Trader Joe's probably won't be a regular stop for me, didn't find much in my tastes
oh -- like spring summer and fall...
the 6/21 is after the 6/18
it definitely is whole paycheck. but their fruits and vegs are always very nice and not too too expensive.
Hi, all -- se 6/18 is summer, fall, etc.
not is it not
we get most of our food from the co-op and local farm stand anyway, but the chocolates... *sigh*
got it ty
never been myself...just the slang for it her4e...;o)
hey TXZinnia!
Hi, mama!
where do you live stid?
hey kate! it's a funny little store -- the original in p
I just shop at Publix, "Where shopping is a pleasure"
in Pasadena retains its homegrown quirkyness, the others are all sort of sad, like pale imitations.
We have the flagship "Whole Paycheck" here -- it's expensive but FABulous!
hi, everybody ):

Hi DC,, have you had some coffee.

Clue for first se6/ THANKS
hi all, back to finish up
Kenny, the first one I have is part of the year, say, spring, summer, etc
Thanks Wolvie
yw
i don't know if it the first tho - i don't have all the s's yet and I have not gone to the list
can someone give me the number of words for today
182
thanks a lot wolvie
"Well you're dirty and sweet, clad in black don't look back, and I love you... you're dirty and sweet, oh yeah."
sure. :-)
lol - his shiv
hi i meant hi. lol indeed
182 donnie
ddeafs
hi wolvie, shivs
hi kate
pagoud
close kate. ;-0
sorry
Hiya TraderKate.
broke my monkey...
Poor monkey!!
Kenny - I just found another se 6 that is before the one I clued - what a sailor may call his mutt
se 6/27 - that would be. the one I clued, time of year, was a 6/18
how did you do that kate? we needs our monkeys. :-)
monkey beyond repair, warranty is up...<sigh>
Navy gave Ohio State a real tussle today
Animals come with warranties now?
need 4 pa's all in a row...all 5's and 6's...no clue...just trying everything. should probably taqke break
I watched the game while I was grilling goodies for the day. Navy almost had them. :-)
only the monkeys
almost????
i'm thinking you need the gazebos kate - sort of pa 5/18, pa 6/30, pa 7/44, and a pa6/30
Ohio State won.
you were one letter off with your pb entry
The pa5,18 can also mean an idol.
got the first 3 of those... can't find another variation for the fourth. need the pa6/30, pa5/16, pa 5/16, and pa6/27 that follow them
Think of a fancy shelter or roof, Kate.
Oriental style?
story of my life
That is a plural of the pa5,18 Kate.
pa 6/27 that follows - like the flooring, only use an a instead of an e
i've got a bunch of those already - 3
Oh sorry...had the wrong word?
the 5/16 before that 6/27 is that word, the 6 is the plural - sorry
linoleum?
I should keep out of this I think, LOL. I might make things worse for you.
the 5/16 before that one means paste over, say
I finished earlier and came back to check something.
fake wood flooring pe***, but use an a
already confused beyond all hope, don't worry shivs

Got it! Thanks (sheepishly disappears back into the grid)
Um, I wasn't going to say anything! LOL
Don't worry your head, ch1212... I've asked plenty of silly questions before now.
That's firewords for me; hate to ask for a clue and run, but I have to scoot. Bye all and hugs!
WTG, ch1212!

Hi Une. Nice outfit
hi bugs
hello babble friends!
hi uni
is it frosh week already?
hi trif
Hi Kate. I keep waiting for you to post something in your icon box. It is all in the My Accounts tab
back from the book sale. WELL worth the trip! Got a whole shopping bag full of books for $7
not enough that i've got pro status...now you want me to work even mor???? next you'll be wanting me to write poetry or somehting equally creative...
HOw lucky for you Trif? Anyone, please recommend a new book for me to read.
fiction or non, bugsaw?
hurray for trif...did you bring them some of yours?
hello all
sarum
not new though
The Last Chinese Chef and The Rossetti Letter were two of the best books I ever read
no, kate, the poor woman would have fainted! She literally had THOUSANDS of volumes to shift.
Either. I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which I loved
LOL
I recommend Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
Read Sarum. LIked all of those ones
eats shoots and leaves
life of pi
I just finished Bonk, by Mary Roach, because someone on here recommended it, and it was EXCELLENT
popping in...Bugs I also read the potato peel book and Liked it much. I recommend Havana Fever by Mario Conde. Great book for book lovers.
We are on the same wavelength Kate. I have read those too.
now leaving again.
who do yu like to read?
bye red
ru 4/7?
yes
did not like Life of Pi
famous spaghetti sauce brand...transpose the vowels
hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy et al
Writing all these down. Thanks!
ty kate
if you liked douglas adams that is...
what do you read?
what do you read?
yw
I do and I lke Terry Pratchett but I need a variety.
something light?
did you ever read the forsyte saga series?
man of property..to let etc?
I think so. I read a lot of educational stuff for my work but I like to have a good book to get involved in. When I go to the shops I only seem to see books I have read or others that don't sound like much from the title.
time for a dose of the classics i think.
I had to read the Forsyte Saga the summer before I went into grade 10. I hated it and hate most of those old English things where everyone minds everyone else's business.
so no victorian lit?
I like historical novels too
i like historical fiction/science fiction a lot.
I learn stuff about the past in a way that makes history come to life. That was why I liked Sarum
did we talk before about books?
Can you recommend a good one for me Seain?
talked to someone re: historical fiction
Not you and I Kate
The Sot Weed Factor is an old one but ever a favourite.
hello babblers
DC, you shoudl really read Year of Wonders, then - it is historical fiction at it's BEST
recommend antonia fraser for hist. fiction - mary queen of scots exceptional...if you like her, she's quite prolific
I really liked Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove. Set in Elizabethan England based on premise that the Spanish Armada landed and won told from POV of Shakespeare and Marlowe
Year of Wonders, noted Trifioso
Those are really appealing. Thanks to both of you.
sounds goo dc....
The End of the Beginning i liked too, Japan conquered Japan and the US recapturing is premise. Very graphic though, and not for sensitive readers.
good
Japan Conquered Hawaii in WWII rather :)
I could talk books all day! I did very well at the sale in almost all departments - some for me, and some for each child, too. My son reads all the time, but I cant' get my girls to read! it's my greatest failure as a mother thus far....
give them comic books
Hey everyone!
my sister reads less than i do by far.
hey sweet sister! how's you?
what did you get for you trif?
hi, kadresa
hi k
Trif try reading to your youngest at bedtime and then just happen to get called away by the laundry or something. If you have timed it right, she will have her nose in the book by the time you get back.
Very tired. Finally finished all of the baking in prep for tomorrow and thought I would babble for a bit before I start supper.
Colleen McCullough's - Morgan's Run is a good long read - historical saga, based around fact
a lot of brain candy - luanne rice, jane smiley....and some good old classics like Franny and Zoey - a nice hardcover edition for a wicked .50
Thanks for all of these book tips everyone...babble is terrific for so many things!
Read her years ago lynx but not that one. Once a find a book a enjoy, I like to read everything they have done. Sometimes I find lots of gems and sometimes I only really liked the first on.
she wrote ladies of the missalonghi didn't she, and creed for the third millennium?
help with any of the un words please
Hi kadresa. Am I to understand that you are seain's sister?
no, no, she is my sister!
we should have a chat thread in babanon for books?
Usula K LeGuin's Lavinia was very nice also. Set in pre-Roman Tiber valley. The tale of a minor character from an ancient poem. Much day-to-day life and some political machinations that lead to Rome.
no, trifioso's sister
No I am Trif's and Eyeore's sister, cousin to AKnitter and mother to Scoop
Ah ha! Babble is full of suprises.
my sister is barely online, much to my wonder

kiaora and good morning to those i havent seen in forever and hugs
kiaora, kiwi :)
I love Edward Rutherfurd's books. Sarum was the first I read, followed by his London, Russia and I can't remember the other titles. I read James Michener too, I think I started with Chesapeake and then I was hooked but some of his books are so different and I usually quit on them.
hope you like them Bugs

DR!!!!!!!!! hugs
How are you? We have missed you
apart from having one mass as head cold im doing well
I have the volume as high as it will go. It's their first american tour. I read the Earth series too and agree they became very 'today' if you know what I mean.
found they devolved into smarmy historical romance novels...she lost the wonderful window on their lives that rang so true and accurately
Lynxx, doing ok thanks, been ages since we said Hello. How are you ?.
I am glad to hear that - though sorry about the cold.... and how are the boys?
Well put TK
i dont know if you heard but kieran (my eldest) has been diagnosed with a lump on his brain and we had another MRI on friday. Logan is well Logan but he is moving to live with his dad at the end of the year
if you like dinos, bob baaker writes very well for a paleo. very readable
has anyone used the x yet?
am i making sense still?
ne4 TO
Elder, quite well TY. Good to see you around again.
it was used (once?)
kiwi sorry to hear
I had not heard that. I am sorry and will add him to my prayers.
fa4.12 uses that letter Owl
If Trif is still here, I am glad to hear she enjoyed Bonk! I thought it was fantastic. I am reading Roach's others shortly. Geraldine Brooks is also fantastic :)
ty lun
hi uni!
Logan is moving in with his Dad... I hope that works for all of you
they dont believe its life threatening but its still a worry as he has been getting headaches and dizzy spells and has a parkinsons like shake in his arm
ne 4/9 uses it as well
Lynxx - ditto. been a bit off lately but bouncing back again as we have to do.
bbs
POrr dear Boy!
Poor even
the hardest thinhgs for him tho are the fact that he has to give up learning to drive until they decide what to do with him and that it may also effect him joining the army next year
that's unfortunate, but it's better he heals well.
Groovy, just updated your profile.. a new man and hair colour.. way to go ! I hope the assessments ongoing for your son is positive and all round wishes for his return to full health .
the new man is named Jason and he and i have been dating since last november and the hair colour well its been around for a while now but i havent been here to show either off lol
the only book i never finished reading because it was just too horrible: a prayer for owen meaney
i liked Owen Meaney. OTOH, A Rose for Emily traumatized me for years.
It was understandable that you were not here Kiwi- you had too much stuff going on
one of the most over-rated books i ever read (my opinion is worth nothing) : the english patient
brb- phone
I neven finished Dune as it's too hard to read - mindnumbing.

Apparently Eastern Washington state resembles the Badlands of South Dakota, but scrubbier.
I enjoy his books because his wife was in my German cclass once, and they take place in Detroit. Kienzle was a pirest the first 25 years of his life. His Rosary Murder was een made into amovie.

report from the construction site: i'm sitting at my computer and listening to the workers in the basement - they are singing along with the radio and laughing as they hammer and saw and drill - very pleasant to hear
Or anything that has been previously se4,4ed.
cheery workers are the best kind, jbv :)
evening, shivs
they'll be doing a good job then...
hey, seain!
My brothers do that sort of work, JBV. They took over the family firm from our dad.
hi, une :)
very satisfying to see someone who enjoys their work
Evening, Seain. Not evening there though is it?
hi une
howdy, TK :-)
hours away yet here, though goodness the cicadas are LOUD
it'll be nice later when the crickets join them in their cacophony.
seain, did you hear about the katydid search in New York? They're asking people to record them and give their location so they can prove they still exist in the Big Apple :-)
^_^
Not famliar with those, Seain?
i had not. that's way cool, une
not to be confused with crickets :-)
they're posting a real-time map online
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqys8lK su4s
listen to that shivs. those are cicadas
someone stole all the cricketsin toronto...there are none!!!
oh, where une?
i think it's sponsored by entymologists affiliated with the Natural History Museum
Not many crickets left in our part of Michigan.
cicadas are an indigenous insect here. different types live in 1, 5, 7, 13, and 17 year cycles. the 17 year ones are in huge numbers and horrible.
we have wayyy loud cicadas too dc...they and the crikets overlap at dusk but then the cicadas go to sleep and the crickets are the nightime musicians...much more pleasant sound than cicadas
i'll check it out, une, ty
http://www.discoverlife.org/cricket
yes, just, exactly so on the sounds
We have a lot moe large birds (blue jays etc) do they feed on them
they're calling it the Cricket Crawl
aacckk, can't stand the 17-year cicadas!!
I am watching a lovely, schmaltzy movie as I am babbling, so not getting much done....I am, however, thinking of running off to Tuscany....
aren't cicadas and locusts the same thing?
we had a tennis unit cancelled in HS because we couldn't see the balls through the 17 year brood.
no kate
nope -- cicadas don't eat crops
What are cidadas like? I should Google them.
no, Locusts are a grasshopper, cicadas are not.
btw kate are you male or female??
the damage cicadas do is from making slits in young trees to lay their eggs
most definitely all woman
google tells all :)
ty, dc
too tired and bone- idle to ;look
okay just asked cause your little icon determining gender, looks masculine?
cicada pictures online are mostly of teh 17 year brood
That's the neutral icon, Just... it's grey.
grey is undefined, just
grey - a happy neutral colour like beige
She hasn't indicated her gender because she hasn't filled in a profile yet.
ohhh never knew that (blush) thx!
my icon ids an it
FW.... and see you all later.
yes, for Kate is a human from planet earth.
hasta, red :)
It's been neutered, like our dog and cat.
clue for ap 6
descriptive term of the ap above it
may leave it black....probably don't have little figure for me
hint for sp5.16, pls?
ap4 + **l the kings men
An ap6/24 is ap 4/6 plus ending of no 5/12 word Boobear
As opposed to an alien from another planet? Might get a few of those in here...never can tell.

kiwi hugs!! you're back so sooooon! lol

That's what I was wondering too, Kate. LOL
i am atlantean
but then there are men named francis, marion, etc so who can know?
Maybe in a past life, Kate.
huh, thought i'd tried that. merci, une
Yeah but Francis is a male name. The female version is Frances.
i should make a silly profile....without a word of truth in it....
lovely pix kiwi! is that your man? handsome devil!
past life i was a ROC...the life before that i swas va ROC....

In case you haven't noticed Just1, Kate is pro now.

Or she wouldn't have an icon.
i do fantasy cooking...dream up a wonderful menu...then open a tin of spaghetti or make a peanutbutter sandwich. ;-)

Kate went pro!!! YEAY
LMAO, mar.....

bye elder
the falls are the whitish things in the river.
they're more impressive at ground level
the water's high in that photo, it must've rained in the mountains recently.
okay...spent yearsliving in niagara falls ontario...it would take something lie victoria falls for me to notice.,,,no offence...ty dc
Seain, as you're on Flickr, do you know how the privacy settings on everything have to be set to get photos from there to display in a Babble bio page?
understandably, kate :)
yes, hard to tell from over head
um, somewhat like mine are :)
:o)
i think they need to be public
lol
Yeah, but did you lave all your settings on default?
i do not, shivs.
LOL, leave not lave.
er, did not (i read it as have)

i think i sent Kate asleep with that link to the video song..LOL
you are right, zoozz ... we took out IE 8 and then IE 7 and then the antivirus and then the firewall and troubleshooted the Internet Options and I even said some discouraging words ..
thanks for those clues and yay for zoozoo
just back
hi kate
thats the thing with computers..they work like a dream untill something goes wrong..then they are a nightmare :-(
thanks zooz. liked it so i thought i's stay for an encore..."he doesn't know why"...celtic folk meets mersey beat with a little pet sounds thrown in for good measure...very relaxing. :o)
wb Kate
yes i am going to watch them live next weekend at the isle of wight Bestival :-)
Hi all. What a busy day! I'm back for my final 27 words now. *relaces*
*relaxes* (I'm not unlaced. LOL)
the only sad part for me is that i will not be able to babble for a few days..i know i will get withdrawral symptoms..llol
hello Jacula :-)
hi dorens how are things in your neck of the woods?
hi jac, how goes it?
hi jac!
nu6?
sunny and warm kate, and i enjoyed the fact that i wasn't working today. didn't particularly like getting back to the waking up at 6"30 am bit
pl of the nu4
there is no nu6 Kje
no6? plural of french we?
sorry - just saw it is nu4 - now looking
got it
never heard of them nbefore now zooz. have fallen shamefully behind in my musical education. no time to keep up any more...do tell me how the concert goes, sounds like fun!
hi, kje
hello dc
Hi Dorens, I'm resisting the ur4 to list.
Phantom word of the day - lanugo.
i am a bit nervous to be honest..as i will be sleeping in a tent in a field with about 30,000 other people...not my kind of thing really, but really want to see a few bands playing there, most people will be young energetic ones bouncing around..and me and my camera looking like a nerd..hahaha..still hope to try and enjoy it
we'll all miss you when you're away at the isle of wight concert. is it an all-weekend affair?
IoW Festival, zoozz?
Oh, Kate just answered that. LOL
it is from thursday untill end of sunday..but i cannot get cover for the thursday or sunday..so have paid £400 for the ticket & tent for just two days..i must be crazy.
yes Jacula..you going?.
ok, I give up, cannot see the first sa4/4
hate to break it to you , but you probably won't get much sleep...best bring lots of coffee/tea. but it will be a fjun adventure. hope you will have lots of pics to share with us upon your return. who else will be playing?
No, zoozz. I'm 'too old' for camping now. 69/70 was my time. LOL
maquis de sa4
NM found the sa4/4
sa + santa made a *i*t and checked it twice
I leave all the festival-going to my 22-yr-old daughter these days. She's just returning from Reading. IoW isn't one she's tried yet.
ty, got it
you are never too old Jacula..but i know what you mean :-)...i know i will not get much sleep Kate..i expect that..will catch up on monday..will miss babble though .
*returned not returning.
Jacula, i heard the reading festival was really good, your daughter must of had a great time.
Zoozz - I don't 'do' living in a tent anymore. Gave that up 2 years' ago.
keep the faith zooz. someone may step up and cover for you if their plans fall through/ break up with girlfriend etc....a shame if yu can't stay for whole thing, but doubt it is money wasted...have you considered some for of bribery to get someone to cover for you...do you have any good "dirt on anyone? (joking)
yeah..not sure if i am going to like that bit..but too late now..lol
you should be going with her jac
babble will miss you as well zooz
ah dishwasher done. gonna go unload it. back in a bit.
LOL..would be nice to bribe some-one...lol...i did plan this months ago..but then the person who was going to cover for me has just turned it down..so i do not have anyone to cover as it is a bit too late to find anyone :-(
ah the little joys of life dc...
ok, i`m off to bed now, happy babbling every-one..BR i hope your computer gets sorted soon.
allo all!
next time you should go to reading as well jac...let your hair down...dance like nobody's watching... ^_^

much better clue haz, ty. way too tired to think now
pav - you birthday coming soon?

I'm missing a U to clear the first column
are you serious? it's an actual holiday?
an
which?
no time off, but at the least the flags fly at half-mast...( I know it's for those who lost their lives on that remorseful day) but any chance to celebrate my BD with others is good? yes?
first fa5!6 pls
fa5/16, first one?
I have us4 and us4 from the U
if it doesn't devolve into a maudlin event, yes
fa5/16 is not true
so it is, thanks Haz
No problem, peri.
my 40th BD was that fateful day, and the office staff had already planned the black crepe streamers, etc...until the news and then everything was taken down...
perhaps it will get you many free 'sympathy drinks" at a pub? having your b-day then kind of sucky...on the other hand everyone knows what they were doing on your b-day '01....
and my closest friends now have no excuse to forget it..
there, dishwasher emptied and oven heating for a simple supper.
were you here or there at the time?
hi dc!
i am simple, may i come?
I was actually hosting a conference here in Phoenix..(my flag is supporting Canadians) with a special guest we flew in ...
He wasn't able to fly back out for a few more days and ended up renting a car to return to his home...
never happen again either, nall flights grounded...
so are you in canada or phoenix now? am either tiered or conmfused...probably both
so if we combine egg shell white with ecru colored paints we get egru?
tired, confused
ROFL
fadiong fast...
I am a Phoenician, sympathizing with the Canadians..it's cooler there at this time of year, and I 'm a bit bummed from my seemingly lack of advancement at work...
hello, pav
what's for din?
sympathy for canadians? we're the luckiest country in the world. why would yu be sorry for us?
garlic naan with a simple tomato sauce
guess he didn't see my pathetic attempt at self-invitation...
Tom keeps pushing for us to apply to go to Canada.
as in move there.
mmmm garlic naan....could eat that with nice spicy sauce to dip all day long
not sorry for, sympathizing with..restrictive border crossings, unable to view Hulu.com, little things...
naan...is a pasta of some sort?
it is bread actually pav
you should come...i think we've discussed all the fun things to do toronto- niagara, and just told yu about montreal
an Indian bread, pav
indian flat bread
ahhh, I'll be over in a flash...*poof*
I grew up in Michigan...
hey ruru!
hey everyone!
i'm familiar w/Montreal. I grew up with family there and on the south shore
see what you've started? now tom will be agngry that you've got a houseful of uninvited guests...
I need to travel more and learn some new things about other cultures
hi ruru
hi jen
do you have a passport?
alas no passport, and with two poopies, it's hard for me to actually get away...
close your eyes and throw a dart at map. pack bags. go.
if only life were that simple...
poopies - kids or pups
jmust get passport. can't even come to canada without one now.
is there a difference...tehy both eat, need attention, cry when left alone,,, and bring joy and happiness, heartache and pains?
still, some are more easily pawned off on un dsuspecting family/ neighbours
yep,,,we've been banished from my bro's house in NM
??
I did take a short break in June and left the poopies with a sitter...they came back dirtier than when left, and were fed table scraps...
who is we? did kids set barn on fire ? or did dogs pee on brother's favourite sofa and rug?
ah...so they are people...(just kidding)
so you have 2 dogs...puppies?
bad sitter spoiling them with table scraps...
Mt younger bro decided the poopies were too much for him...and I didn't want to be there to begin with...so he said we were not welcomed any longer and I packed our things in < one hour and returned..I haven't spoken with him since New Years' Day...Joey supposedly pee'd in the kitchen...but since I wasn't present and no evidence was left, who knows....whether it's kids making messes or dogs becoming excited and forgetting their manners...a mess is a mess is a mess...they can all be cleaned and stuff replaced if needed...
He had deliberately set the temp so low in the bedroom where we stayed, even the dogs were freezin at night...multiple blankets, they slept UNDER the covers...
good grief. he really hates dogs eh? have a feeling there was already some bad blood before your arrival with poopies....waqs he just looking for an excuse?
what a charming host...,miss manners would be appalled
no...his family had four dogs, two indoor and two out...the larger two outdoors had passed away during the year before...he has my Precious' half sister lhasa apsos...
my mom and sis are coming here for Christmas and avoiding his place and other relatives this year...
still, yu might want to try to mend fences before too much time passes...is he your only bro?
I'm giving him the time and space needed to apologize for his ill chosen words and actions...
family has been polarized over this drama? never a good thing....give him a shout soon, you never know , he might call on your b-day. ythe lonmger the silence continues the harder it is to break...and pride tends to get inthe way...
in this photo yu'll see HH Princess Precious on the right and HIs Grace the Duke, Joey Tribiani on the left..
love the nsames precious is lhasa pso and joey as well?
should put some pics in profile....everyone here has animals. sure we'd all like to see
nope family's not polarized,,,for the most part they're with me...they know how particularly sensitive I am about my pets as my children...and I had already told him leading up to the visit that if my pets aren't welcomed then neither am I...
Precious is a purebred Lhasa...Joey is a mix acquired to keep Precious happily contained while I'm at work...for some odd reason they know this arrangement and are ok with it...
not sure i understand, he has dogs himself- indoor and out door...does he just not like the lhasas, or smalkl dogs?
Precious is 5 1/2 and we'll celebrate 5 years this CHristmas; Joey is 4 and we celebrated 3 years together this past May...
LOL...<nods with solemn understanding>
you'll have to put up a "family photo" in profile...
evening all!
hi dan!
Precious and his dog Sashia are born of the same mother, who was bred by my brother's sis -in law...Precious has always had "issues" and when gets excited piddles...so for the past 5 years whenever we visited she would leave "spots" on the carpet, and they've always been accomodating...then Joey comes along and makes nice with everyone, and is terrorized by their other dog...so he becomes annoyed and leaves "presents"...the peeing was a first...if it even happened...
hi you tqwo,,too tired,,, can't even type so i can read it
hello, dan
oh no, poor pav...poor precious...poor joey
hi TO
until this past CHristmas/New Year's holiday, my brother has always said "accidents happen" and they're just pets...now a change in one night ? so as I said before..until he comes back around and invites us all back, we're staying away...
hello kate
Precious and Joey have had new friends in our condo complex to keep their minds off no travelling...and I've saved on gas and car upkeep by not driving so much...
by all means stay away physically...but mend fences...even if you have to make the first move...even if he doesn't apologoze...
but enough about us...46 more words to find...
dogs probably don't care if they travel or not...a ride in the car with ears flapping in the wind feels same in city as country...unless they get to run in fields andchase rabbits at brother's place...they won't care...dogs care more for who they're with than where they are.
back later for clues
good sentiments exactly Kate! although mine do get the itch for an occasional car ride to nowhere...
oh my...i must stop , i can't type any moree... are there people to clue you? think jen was close or finished...
clue for ga 4/8
tire ga4?
dial on dash board, alt sp.
boo ga4-8 is dash clue
jen is nowhere finished! how many words are there anyway?
435
182
ok, which is it, 182 or 435?
182 words today..
big difference!
i will go away now...so tired i thought it waqs funny...such an improbable #
it's 435 when the fingers are in the wrong place to type 182
on is possible...the other ridiculous...

LOL nrkii. I know what you mean, good substitute word. Must remember to use that.
I also recently acquired a taste for Bleu cheese...on burgers...and I rarely eat burgers...'cept from BK and the great burger shoppe in Las Vegas...that was delish!
that is the origin of SN5 18, isn't it?
give the bleu cheese paxil

PAV - you should make your own burgers, like wot I do. You know what's in them then.
clue for sn 5/18

how's the bug bite, nrk?
16 left for me
ty
hi everyone!
go Pav!
lol, bug bite is fine... I contacted an entomologist and he said probably was bit by a THRIPS
I've never heard of a thrips before
must go look up thrips
apparently, if they bite you, they are just checking to see if you're a plant
Blimey! I didn't see the word or what a model does when the photographer points his lens at her.
my butt is sore from sitting too long...will take the poopies for a walk and be back...
5 word to go...
not very smart bugs, if they can't tell you're not a plant!
go Jac
jac, there's a UN word that goes along with that
hurry jac!
are you growing leaves, nerky?
no, just letting bugs get in my bra... ;-D
thrips are nastly plant eaters and destroyers, lbd.
hi CJ!
you can do better than that, nerky!
nrkii's boobs were lonely
Hiya dawg!
LOL lbd...
just googled them, they aren't the prettiest bugs, kinda earwiggy looking
earwiggy, but much much smaller
and their bite hurts like you wouldn't believe
thank goodness for that!
i imagine bites in that area are going to hurt no matter the size of the bug
I've actually been bitten by same bug in the past, but not in same locale, and it really does hurt a lot
1 word to find...
go jac
only difference last night was it was much more difficult to keep my composure because I couldn't deal with it directly :)
go jacula!!!
just be glad they aren't carniverous, nrk
indeed
i saw the biggest and prettiest dragonfly today. real pretty blue and it was HUGE!!
and that they don't cause tissue to necrotize
love dragonflies
amen to that, nrk
really love fireflies, but haven't seen many this year
we have lots of damsels and dragonflies. but this one was at least 2 inches long
we don't have fireflies up this far north
lots of dragonflies this year, which has been nice.. none that big though
FIREWORKS! Can't believe that was the last word I found. Think lovely hymn - 'When a knight won his sp4/6s in the kjngdome of old, he was brave he was ... etc.
he's been eating good. lots of little bugs for the dragonflies and damsels to eat
yay jacula!!!
whoooo hooooo JACULA!!
"When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old, He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold; With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand, For God and for valour he rode through the land. No charger have I, and no sword by my side, Yet still to adventure and battle I ride, Though back into storyland giants have fled, And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead. Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed 'Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed; And let me set free with the sword of my youth, From the castle of darkness, the power of the truth."
Thanks folks.
damsels... look like stink bugs... are they the same?
Sometimes a majority simply means that all the fools are on the same side. --Claude McDonald
no, damsels are little dragonflies. they are a species of their own
good one babble rabble... I feel that way a lot
so agree, BR
okay, must go... visiting parents and must spend some time actually talking with them
other than when they're feeding me, that is
enjoy nrkii, stay away from the bugs
thanks! night everyone!
http://tinyurl.com/lzntok for the hymn.
night night, nrkii
Nrkii - talking is good... sometimes.
If it's not theen button up and go out for a family walk.
BR - how true that quote is.
But, at the very leat, on this site we are all fools who enjoy juggling words.
Best kind of fools, I think.
help with la6/18 pls
plural the irish girl, big red
la + the thing in the middle of your face.
thanks
oh, i got that one. need the first 6/18. thanks
thanks jacula
Had to smile at the version of the knight hymn I posted - public school boys posing as urchins singing it. That kind of typifies Britain from time of Henry VIII - no good was ever really done for the poor, thought lots of nice words wer spoken about doing it.
appears things haven't changed much since Henry's time.
I say this as the probably the only fan of Margaret Thatcher. She knw the pill would be hard to swallow to make things right and she didn't swerve (but once) from doing what had to be done.
lbd - they've whizzed backwards backt othen and before here in UK now with the Brussels crap and the PC brigade and the false 'Geenies'.

Goodnight JBs.

Sleep well, JBs.
hello again. I hope my net stays stable so i can finish this
I've blownmy ear drums away by turning that last link from Queen up to max but it still doesn't compare to being there and hearing it live. Glad I WAS there.

Thak God I heard Lyn Skyn Freebird live here in UK.
You really didn't think I'd want to be trotted out of life to a song I hadn't heard played live, did you?
Here's a song about giving up smoking. Wel, it might have been if she'd written it after the public smoking ban in Ireland came into force.

ok we're back ...we've been fed and now to relax a bit...
I'm in far too serious a mood now, and might say things I shouln't (hence being crowned Queen of Non PC on Babble).
Imight say soething like Ex didn't sneak off and marry again (without even telling our children or warning me), or I might say that my Bloved has just put the wheels in motion for his divorce afer 6 and a half years, but it's not for me but because he now wants to disassociate himself from his ex due to her perv/paedo partner whose actions finally reulsting in Beloved's daugher living full time with us.
But I won't say any of that, of course, 'cos this is a family site.

Hi, PAV! :)
holography?
How are you and the doggies?
holograms
go on . . .
sorry holography...hi all!
I'm fascinated by holography and holograms! :)
wow!
yes, making 3-d photographs.
wow! that is quite the coincidence
art of holograms?
Interesting, stid! :)
oh, cool
I'm amazed by those that appear in a room - like ghosts.
how interesting...and here I thought that was strictly for Trekkies...
which is REALLY weird. BEcause a) I never met another holographer and b) he died in 1991.
LOL Pav
Shades of Star Trek . . .
just us holograms, JC
hey PAV! *beaming up now*
I'd love to know how that's done - projectors of some sort, of course?
a prof at the university i used to work at had a special class on holograms. they were soooo cool
We're just holograms, Ping? :O
I am soooo sheltered
btw, I like being part of a stid-jill team, ping!
*Pinches self, to make sure!*
I seem to remember some of that on TV -- CNN maybe?
Hmmm, no - I seem to be solid?
you're a fig newton of your own imagination, JC
you are quite the solid gentleman, JC...
Laura, oh Laura - were *are* you? Come in, Laura???
any time, stid - i am an expert in happy accidents
actually, my cousin helped make the first presidential holographic portrait of Ronald Reagan. pretty cool stuff. I think he's my most famous relative. the cousin. not reagan. not related to him as far as I know
Why thank you, PAV! :)
and other accidents, as well
LOL JC
so who was your cousin, Stid.
anyway, I am virtually real most of the time myself so maybe holography runs in the family.
his name was John Landry -- his mother was one of my grandmother's cousins who lived on the other side of the hill across Figueroa Avenue when they were children.
that's a good question - who is your most famous relative - must remember it for my blog
Interesting, stidmama! :)
I'm hungry JC, I'm gonna eat dinner.
those are the squares on our credit cards, yes?
He never had any kids, so the geniosity (as stidkid #2 puts it) ended with him.
Hi Laura -- I should do that too
LOL for #2
Oh there you are, Laura - OK, bon apetit! ;)
Hi jilli!
yes, I think those are an outgrowth of some of his work, too. There have been hundreds of really smart people working in this specific optics area recently (in the last 30 years)
any help available for ag6/24 please?
JC - and yes the poopies and I are well, they were at the groomers today...they are so nice and clean and trimmed...
ag 6/24: ag 4 + mr gore. or "across" diag****
Two letters added onto the previous word, Jilli - descriptive of it.
ag 6/24 is ag 4/6 plus ending of no 5/12 word jillibus.
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
Oh nice, PAV! :)
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
You can see mine at the URL, that's in my profile.
ty JC
Good early morning, Minveryork!
hi there, min! welcome to the grid!
and ty min -- hi!
hello Min! welcome back to the grid! how is your sister in law?
You're welcome, Jilli dahhhling. ;)
hi Min, how are you this evening? welcome to the grid
I am well. Just got back from my sister-in-law's house
You sound like MInveryork now, lbdawger! ;)
and min, that gave me the no5/12 I didn't have, so double thanks
so JC, which character in The Birdcage are you? *innocent mama look* I actually loved La Cage aux Folles when I saw it a few years back, but haven't seen the Nathan Lane version
It was double my pleasure jillibus!
My mother=in-law made stuffed flank steaks. Yummy!
and Albie is adorable, btw
mmmm. sounds nice, Min. (actually anything someone else cooks usually sounds nice to me)
yum, Min.
No, I named my puppy 'Albie' as a tip of the hat to the Nathan Lane character in that film, stidmama . . .
I miss too many films :(
Oh you must, stid - rent the video of it, at the very least. I own a copy, it's an excellent film! :)
Oh, thank you - I think both my little doggies are. :)
Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are absolutely wonderful in the birdcage!
Valerie has a very cute little face, actually . . .
so I've been piqued to buy a paninni grill for my upcoming BD..
Yes, brilliant! :)
I wonder if I can get it through netflix brb
do you want a paninni grill, Pav?
they say many good meals can be made with it...
i use my waffle iron as my paninni grill
pav, I had a yummy frozen panini for lunch today
the plates are reversible
waffles...yummy with maple syrup...yummier!
I wish I still had the waffle iron I had centuries ago
lbd -- what make is it?
oh, where were we...? panini grills....sorry
i'm sure it's available through netflix
We have been using our gas barbeque a lot, this summer - it's under shelter, of course! :P We get quite a lot of rain . . .
i'd have to fight my sisters for our mother's waffle iron. it's ancient but well se6.18ed
what does a vegan cook on a barbecue?
ty dawg!
Food, Jilli - of course.
Jilli, i have no idea what my waffle iron brand is.
veggie shiskabobs jillibus? I do not know just a guess.
it rained earlier this morning here, downpour city...poor poopies did not want to venture outside, but we had our appt with the groomer, and so off we wnt wetness and all...I was positviley soaked and the dogs were fine...
Silly JC :D
Veggie burgers and sausages, with corn on the cob, potato and other root vegetables, even mixed veggies in a foil pouch, and bananas in the skin for dessert - all sorts! :)
all sorts of veggies are delish on the grill.
my parents have one of those old waffle irons
Hmm, sounds good, JC
JC, do you still act in films?
Indeed, lbdawger - they all are, much more so than in a regular oven.
Wy don't they make waffle irons like that any more, boo hoo?
Not for a good while, Ping - haven't done much of that.
okie dokie, took forever to log in, but it's now in my queue for netflix
tehy do have waffle irons, with reversible plates
Oh good, stid - you will really enjoy that one! :)
don't really care for belgium waffles, but the old fashioned ones are my fave
one of my blog friends has seen you perform in aus and says you're amazing
we have been grilling corn on the cob on my grill... it's nice that way.
anything with maple syrup is bound to be good...
help for ap6/24, please?
my tom makes a great vegan wheat-free waffle sometimes, it has an almond base. very light and fluffy.
ap4.6 + mr gore
Yes, stid - it's beautiful, cooked on a barbeque! Done right in the husk . . .
ap 6/24 is ap 4/6 plus ending of no 5/12 word jillibus.
add to the ap4 6 jilli
yep. never had it that way before, but Tom knew how and it's delish
Yes, we do eggless pancakes . . .
sounds good, stid
With soy or almond milk, of course.
there are a lot of mr gore today.
love corn on the cob from the grill. *drool*
LOL
Oh no, Pav -- one of the worst meals hubby and I ever had was on his birthday when we were in Florida and the only place to go was an IHOP -- we ordered London Broil and I swear it was cooked with syrup -- yuk!
Oh yes, lbdawger - it's delicious! :)
oh! and the stidkid and I saw a grain-based (but gluten free) milk at Trader Joe's yesterday so we got a quart (liter?) to try
mr. gore and mr quayl are quite evident in this grid
blah. IHOP. maybe it's sour grapes because they have NOTHING I can eat, but the last time I went in even the air was sticky. And they don't even use real maple syrup.
Awww, I see your doggies now, PAV! :)
ty -- same ending again, duh
ihop...gag. the one here is known for drugs and freaks
I am getting my office in better shape. I nagged at the menfolk this afternoon and they helped me for as long as I could stand (about 45 minutes) and made good progress. Will have tom help me some this evening -- the boys are at a dance at their friends' church
well, IHOP is as IHOP was... I haven't been in a while...
We don't have one here, thank goodness
no, just chez jill and chez flo. chez jill is known for her exquisite chicken with "mystery" sauce and chez flo for the pies... *drool*
I think their pancakes are pretty good though...last time I checked...
JC, in case you don't know, IHOP is the International House of Pancakes, ugh.
merci pour les kind words, stid!
which begs the question of why try to order non-pancake items ?
if you love grease, clogged arteries, and fake syrup, IHOP is the place to go
so jill -- I posted some pics from our trip to mt st helens -- on my website. We had a good time, but I was glad it was only a day trip.
"mystery" chicken was Coq au vin (shut your eyes, JC and Laura).
oh, just trying to make hints for when I come visit, jill! LOL
Oh, thanks for telling me that, Jilli - I was wondering!
Gotcha, stid!
(About 'IHOP').
sorry, JC. forgot you wouldn't know what IHOP was. you're fortunate
Hi...
JC -- my parents are in IRELAND!!! Mother is just enjoying it no end, she is more than half Irish, and it feels so good to her to finally make it "home"
hey jai!
hello jai
hi jai! how ya feeling?
I have my patio door open, it's the first time in months I've been able to with the heat and all, and the dogs can hear the folks walking up and down the path
I'm getting nowhere with this grid -- chat is too much fun -- and all this foodie talk is making me hungry.
How are all of you???
hai jai -- are you real tonight?
Oh are they, stid? Must be enjoying it, then - it's a beautiful country! :)
*whispers* BROWNIES.... CAKE.... CHOCLIT MOOSE.... *wicked mama grin*
Hi, jaianniah! :)
Yes...and I am very angry that my son-in-law did what he did....
well, this has been fun, and now i must go find my pillows. work beckons early tomorrow
she has taken some great pictures in Dublin. They are with a tour group starting tomorrow, and will make a circuit around the Island
no meese around here, stid, lol
jai? what did he did???
good night, dawg
Sleep well, lbdawger! :)
(((LBD))) be well, have a lovely day tomorrow around all those books!
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
night night everyone
S's stomped! 6 left
he was a jai impostor last night -- very nice one though
no, you only have the pint-sized rose-eatin' vermin
go MIN GO!!!!!
You'll enjoy seeing those, stid . . .
Yes...He got on here while I was sleeping and spent three hours being "me"- only most everyone knew it wasn't me at all...
what happened, jai?
night dawg
Stid, it would be lovelier if no bosses were around to harrass us.
14 left for me
Hmmm? :/ Why would someone want to do that?!
oh for heaven's sake jai~! what a rotten kid!
How could he log into your account, jai? :/
go PAV!
*poof*
*puts sleeping spell on bosses*
I thought he was rather fun, jai! He said hai and bai
I went to lie down and rest my leg for a minute and fell asleep with the computer still open to babble
but I am a boss !!
good night, commodore
LOL
me too, pav
commodore?
oh! I finished reading Oliver Sacks' "Seeing Voices" book this morning. The first required reading for the Master's program. it was pretty good. I got some new ideas.
hey BR!
Yes, he can be fun, but I really did not appreciate his describing my snoring and so on....
phantom; ostrobogulous
*amends sleeping spell to act only on bosses of babblers, not babblers who are bossy*
hello, stid
*extra-wicked mama look*
that sounds cool, stid
missing a U from the left...I have 2x us4
not the spell, stid, the book sounds cool
just to clarify
Well, I have to go and get supper -- back later. 90 left, lol!
hi BR
ud 4,
later jill!
um stid..
Hello, Ping
BTW, I'm not finding this grid friendly -- keep seeing words with no ends.
do you have ud4?
I think you would like it ping. a bit out of date in some areas, but we're old enough to appreciate it for historical as well as practical interest
thanks stid...
Bye jillibus! I will see you later in the chat log maybe.
I'm finding it better than some, Jilli . . .
yes PAV?
I don not see how this grid could be any more user friendly ...
1st column greyed...
This grid is a tu4/6 ..
i like Oliver Sacks
now tor.... LOL
Have you read Adam Phillips?
hi torg
Oh now, it's not *that* stinky, torgone! :P
I'm too distracted and hungry, I guess, besides being unobservant x-[
I have that one torg..I need 3 more t's though...
I've seen worse and I've seen better jillibus.I think it is better than yesterday's grid though. Almost done.
I heard of him first in a NOVA program this summer, and then a guest lecturer for one of the literacy classes referenced him also.
I haven't finished a grid or got anywhere in days
Hi torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
Hi all. a music break (apologies to Jilli for that) http://tinyurl.com/2vmpwv
there is also a tu 5/14 PAV that is like a plural nickname for paint thinner tu**entine
hey JAC!
If peeps found the ones they can't find first they would not have to struggle to find them later
like Sacks, he's a doctor and writes essays based on his work - child psychiatrist
Hi, Jac!
thanks again Stid..
12 left
that's an interesting point, BR. *brain twists up in knots*
http://tinyurl.com/2rscy5
sp true BR, bot pray tell, how that can happen?
I think I might get Tom to help in the office a little bit again. We went from no room to even move from the door to the filing cabinet to being able to swing a cat (if we wanted and could find a cat to cooperate). Time to grab a few more boxes and put the contents away.
*wanders off in a cloud of dust and knick-knacks*
BR if we find the hidden words first it would be far easier to find the ones we already know.
hi all - here to finish

Go Pinikula go!
I love th epix of Koda- reminds of our beagle Beau
I remember when my son was 10 - he still liked me then. He is turning 18 next week and has not been a loving son for the last year. Something has possessed him. LOL
Are you still here, Trif? If so, you have mail . . . ;)
* smile *
okay pini work fast because I want to go read about frontier teachers
It's the age he's at, sciencegeek . . .
I know. I have come to accept it and hope that he will like me again before I am in the grave
yes Science- he still likes me and wants hugs before bed... I do worry about th eteen years though
hi jc. yes, I am still here.
Oh, I'm sure he will!!! ;)
where do I have mail?
You have e-mail, Trif . . .
teen years are strange and weird and I cried a lot last year trying to understand where my little boy went
Your primary account.
what are you reading about frontier teachers?
The address in your profile . . .
my sister has older teens, SG, and she keeps telling me to relax, you get them back....haven't "lost" my son at all, but my daughter? oy vey
I bought a book at the Mormon bookstore (Oregon Trail Museum in Idaho) - it is a history of the women who were brave enough to come West and teach. I also bought one about "Soiled Doves: A History of Prostitution in the West" same store
Very funny to me that the Mormon's were stocking that book! I also bought a Cowgirl Cookbook!
that sounds interesting
okay, will read it in detail after I finish this!
You know, we are quite a crew.... none of us party on the weekend - we are all worried about words
thanks for thinking of me
Phantom words for me today are possess and proud.
that sounds like a most interesting book, science geek
any clues needed pini????? anyone????
last 3 pu's? fishies?
good ones, min! well done!
The books are very interesting. The teacher one is great. So many brilliant women who really set the groundwork for modern education.
Pini - we all have a pu***** in life.....
present, past and plurals
pu 7/40: people have jobs for a pu***** and then past tense and then plural of that pu 7/40 word Pinikula.
thank you!
I'm going to watch a movie with Joey...he needs some "me " time...as is often the case when his hair is shorn...warmth I guess...
3 to go now ;)
ENjoy Pav!
Always, Trifi - always. ;)
Pini ?
Goodbye PAV3!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
You're connected with me on Yahoo Profiles, aren't you?
yes jc?
ok pini which ones?
I am, jc
I'm holding out asking for the last 2, geek ;)
Just don't look at that horrible old photo I've posted, if you are! HAHAHA!!! :P
Yes, I thought you were . . .
bare with me
now i need the pu8/60
1
we have a pu**** in life and the PAST TENSE
The, erm - half naked one. :P
pt the other, bekki
pu 8/60 is the past tense of the pu 7/40 word bekki.
puurposed
you have a half naked shot on your profile, jc?
sorry
close, bekki...
Into the PB with you this instant, Bekki! ;)
bekki oops
Get some snacks for the pb!
Yes, sciencegeek - a very old one, when I was half the age I am now. :P
what is 27 divided by 6?
On Yahoo that is, not here. :P
(brain not mathematically inclined anymore today)
Well, good for you! I wish I still looked good naked! LOL
sciencegeek you can enjoy the snacks in the PB also!
I am okay until I see the back side then I am frightened
Why what did I do?
27/6 is 4.5
I think
It's 4.5, Pini . . .
Min - what did I type?
Yes DR, it is . . .
Look at the post at 10:46 for bekki.You did an oo4/5
er...how about 27 / 3
8?
I know this, because . . .
thanks for the confirmation JC
I cheated, and used a calculator! :P

Go DR1965 go!
I used my brain!
told you my math skills aren't working today!
oh MIn- I was answering Pini... I finished the gird long ago
*I meant 10:44 sciencegeek
Oh, I forgot about that one! Too many grids in little time. I have not played in weeks and now I am on each day while I have 5 days off. Forgot.
I have blueberry pie for the PB
how do you divide the points for a six letter word again? by 3?
I LOVE blueberry pie! Maybe I should spill a word so I can eat some too sciencegeek!
I would have, DR - but I haven't much of one to use! :P
okay lovely ladies (and gents if there are any) I am off to read.
I wish we could share the pie. It is a good one. Made by me.
good night Sgeek
Erm - what about me, sciencegeek? :/
Goodbye sciencegeek!I'll see you tomorrow in the log
gnight SG
I may be a flaming poofter - but still a 'gent', I hope! ;)
Whomsoever speaks with Crosshairs first - let him know I found a dark chocolate bar with BACON yesterday. Would love to send him a couple.
Conratulations DR1965 on finishing early! Way to go!
:/
Okay JC - did not know, one cannot tell with these profile names....
oh, crap, that reminds me, jc - graham norton was on tonight, but I forgot to watch
I think of you as a gent JC
Well, my profile would probably indicate that, sciencegeek . . .
ty Min !
Oh yes, Trif?
Why thank you, DR - awfully nice of you to say! :)
Okay J.C> I looked at your profile. Apologies extended and hopefully accepted. :)
yes....i love graham norton. another poofish gentleman
I rarely look at the profiles.
Especially my photo there - although I'm hiding behind my puppy, because it was first thing in the morning, and I was too groggy for photos! :P
I know, Trif - he's a friend, of course.
Yes, I really can only see the pup on the small little square.... Sorry
We've worked together . . .
you KNOW him? oh that is IT - I am coming for dinner at yours, asap!
Oh, yes . . .
You will see better photos of him, my other dog, my cat, my chickens ane myself, at the link in my profile . . .
Oh brother, Trif! :P HAHAHA . . .
JC- have you ever done theather here in the States? ( dumb question I am sure)
hey, all...I need help with the last word...I have to go run an errand and don't want to forget to finish!
se6/27 plz/thx?
which one Pini
J.C. - how are your chickens? I get eggs from a neighbor and they are the BEST
Not really, DR - I have done a little standup in NYC and LA, but fell flat, I'm afraid. They didn't seem to 'get' my humour! :/
ocean canine
Well, NYC wasn't so bad - LA was worse! :/
se 6/27 like pirates - guys who like to sail
se 6/27 word is ocean plus animal that barks Pinikula
They're fine, sciencegeek . . . lovely little birds. :)
Your neighbor lays eggs?
I promise I will only eat peanut butter and jelly the whole time!
OY VEY!!!!
You can see my beautiful Ornamental Bantam hen Maureen, in that photo set . . .
Congratulations Pinikula on fireworks! Good for you!
night off to the books
thx min!! geek!! et al!!!
you don't eat their eggs, do you jc? what to you do with them?
just curious.. I volunteered for many years at th e" Globe Theater " they have here in San Diego and met lots of actors and actresses
* FIREWORDS *
and now off to errand...back later!!! :)
congrats, Pini
huzzah for pini!!!!
If you go to that link, it's my Google profile - click on the first photo in that set, then you'll be taken to the album, and if you click on the first photo again, you will seem them all much larger, one at a time, in a slideshow you can advance through.
WTG and come back soon Pini
If you could read that e-mail and let me know while we're both still online here, Trif, that would be lovely. ;)
is it about the yahoo profiles thing?
Yes, Trif . . .
We have quite a little network there - several other Babblers connected. :)
Goodbye Pinikula! I will see you tomorrow in the chat
i think I will only disappoint you all. between email, facebook and babble, I am about tapped out
Oh, I don't think so, Trif - I'm a busy person, too. It doesn't matter if you only appear once in a while. ;)
I often do that . . .
i will probably do it, then, but not this weekend. I am off to my dad's tomorrow, and won't be back until monday
HAHAHA, or should I say seldom? :P
Oh, I see . . .
I'm checking my list there, to see which Babblers are in it . . .
even the dog gets to come with me! diggity is packing his nightie even now
anyway, jc - what do you do with all your hen eggs?
TraderKate, dcseain, lbdawger, flosey, Frances, Jilli, Kazozz, Laura, SilverBack, Pinikula, and a personal friend who's just joined recently, Siobhan . . .
The unfertilized ones get used in our dogs' and cat's food, and given to friends for that same purpose . . .
do you let all the fertilzed ones hatch?
Yes, of course . . .
good lord! how many hatchlings do you have scooting around?
We give chicks to others, who want them as pets.
Not that many, because we separate Blake from the hens periodically.
You can have roosters castrated, but I hate the thought of putting a bird through that - they're more delicate than a dog or cat. :/
tertiare and I got MAJOR bummed out at the pet store the other day. a man was there looking for a "couple of rats" - didn't care what color they were, or what sex either. pretty obvious that they were going in a snake....
why bother castrating a rooster?
that is just mean!
Yes, that's horrible! :(
poor tertiare was really shaken up
Well, so is anyone killing and eating animals, when it isn't necessary - it's necessary for natural carnivores and omnivores, yes. I won't deprive my dogs and cat of their natural diet.
Trifs.Tertiare has to realise that creatures need to eat. My friend has a host of snakes each get rat or miceicles
I'm sure - even I would be, at my age.
hey there herin! that's what I told her. tried to be all zen about it, even the snake needs to eat, blah blah blah. and HHHERRRIIIINNN!!!!
I wouldn't have a creature in my home, that has to eat live animals. Snakes are never domesticated, and should be left to live in their natural habitat.
Ther is no need to keep a cock for hens to lay eggs.
I wouldn't like a snake in the house AT ALL, so no worries there! on the other hand, if these two lazy layabout cats of mine could dwindle our house mouse population, I would be delighted!
Sorry, just interrupting ther from listing to Elkie Brookes http://tinyurl.com/lk6jod
Jacula, you could not BELIEVE the number of adults I have had to explain that too! honestly, it's embarrassing!
Mine does a good job of that, Trif - she's an excellent mouser, and doesn't play with them. They're history, before you can say 'Jack Robinson'.
JC totally uninformed. You do not feed a snake live mice/rats as they can bite the snake and could kill the snake
can you upload her here for a week or two?
tRIF - lol. i'M ENJOYING YOUR PAST EMBARRASSMENT.
lol jacula! glad to amuse!
TRRRRRIFIES
but honestly, you would be shocked.
gag - just found a wicked huge fish!
Then I think you're probably uninformed, herin - because some snakes will only eat live food, they can kill themselves. That's why the rats and mice are purchased that way - as I've been told.
Snakes won't take frozen mice, they want live food, and I think that's cruel when the snake is imprisoned and so is the mouse that gets putinto its tank to feed it.
s's skinned!
I quote jurassic park - T rex doesn't want to be fed, it wants to hunt!
Son's g/f does the snake and mouse thing. But she's such a nice girl otherwise... *motherly shrug*
I believe "snope" is a word! What about snopes.com?
Jac none of the people I know that are sane dont feed the snakes mice /rats. They are frozen then reheated to body temperature then put into the cage with chopsticks moving them about. Unless you are Monty the Retarded Reticulated Python that can't strike.
I know, Minveryork - it should be!
*Goes off to make one more cuppa.*
Do you think that's why all the supermarkets keep on with the price wars? To alow us to hunt?
lol herin re: monty
It's why I don't love ebay, jacula. I like the hunt, meself
I was actually thinking about that today whilst I was at the book sale. Kindles are great and all, but you will never strike up a convo with a handsome stranger as you pick over .25 books at the Kindle table!
J.C. any chanc of a very large mug of tea for me?
Last fre day of the UK school hols - Belved got home from a 12-hour wworking day on Sat and sank 5 high-proof beears abd let his daughter drink almost a bottle of 4.5% Lambrinia, under supervision.
She then stayed up and got me 5 words on Babble.
p's punished!
It is against the law to feed live animals to snakes. NONE of my friends do it and I have I seen it done with warm water or heater. Sigh. Also if Monty caught his own food he would starve to death as he is a rescue and has no neck muscles that work oto strike. I am going I am so irritated at the fact that my friends DO NOT and WOULD not feed their snakes live food. Its cruel and it can kill the animals. Convo over sodding off
I've finally finished gardening, cooking, caring for family and can now turn to drink....
goodness herin, go easy girl! you are gonna have a stroke, dear one!
Goodbye herinfernallady! I'll see you tomorrow maybe
Herin - noy illegal in UK though
I am falling asleep. good night friends!
My point is that the mouse would not have got into the snake aquarium by its own will. Snake would not be in the aquarium either under its own will. So, neither, so far as I can tell, should be thjere.
I am not, as you may all have guessed by nowm a fan of keeping any animal that does no choose to be with you.
Goodbye Trifioso! I will see you tomorrow in the chat
Dogs, cats, hens, rabbots, guinea pigs etc., make their choices.
Or t lat they do in our home.
Hens are ne4 here,but I want them free ranging and the fox might not allow that.
I'm a fan of my localfox but I don't want him making a meal of my Burford Browns when I get 'em.
Isee I am all alone in my thoughts again.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
poor jacula...
everyone in shock? I, for one, would never have anything that's not warm and cuddly for a pet, and that's what I have to say about that. :)
Hello rbud! How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle
hi rbud.....your icon is cute...never seen one move before

Hello.
hi jc
hi ish

Hi there.
how many words in this one?
182
if you wait 8 min. we get new puzzle, though
oh, is the old kissy icon still showing? I liked it, and then didn't get to use it last night, fell asleep too early.
Oh. We do?
that was for propose and kist?
very clever
where did you find a site to make moving icons?
no, I think I meant it to be a "way to go" congratulations icon. You just have to find a little one to start with, if it's 32 x 32 pixels or smaller, sometimes they work.
how many were in this grid?
jc, no need to whisper...
Hi, all!
there were 182
