probably affected the educational part of my brain
why so sore justie?
sorry to hear it Mar, chin up
What's happened, justy?
hi kiwi :)
trying..
NBT here, too.
not sure...think it has something to do with my tempurpedic mattress (actually Sealy Mirrorfoam) :(
well done rbus!
wtg rb and hiya kiwi
only 3 tiles with a word found here!
wtg rbud
Back again, to try a little of this while I have a quick breakfast - hello, Jilli!!! :)
pooped again :(
cant move my right arm (I'm a righty).. so painful...slurping advils like they're blueberries
this one goes rather quickly, jc
Hi JC -- did you get enough sleep?
oh, just so sorry to hear :/
bigot is haunting me
Ouch, Just? :( I'm a lefty . . .
change a vowel, kate
No, Jilli - and what a stressful day ahead! :P
I'll survive, somehow . . .
dc -- glad you think so! I'm having brain paralysis
me too JC
did research on these memory foam mattresses....people either love them to pieces or hate them with a passion
Me too, Kate - bigots always haunt me. :/
I am too jilli - soggy sawdust
no inbetweens
lol
we got a 4 in memory foam mattress topper. It's made a world of difference for Tom's pain issues. We're saving up for a memory foam mattress now.
bear up, JC -- bet you can do those interviews in your sleep ;)
Yes, we have one of those, Seain . . .
well dc....please investigate them thoroughly before buying...
I have a memory foam pillow and I love it
JC, so long as you are your charming self, i'm sure they'll go well, tiresome as it will be
It isn't that, Jilli - it's the sheer number of them, all in one day. :/ Makes for a very long, tedious day . . .
Anyone called the 8's yet?
as yet, not that i've seen, pigeon, and hello
the foam absorbs body heat and I wake up most nights totally drenched....
Hiya
Awww, thank you Séain - you are too sweet! :) *MWAH!*
what are the interviews for JC? what are you doing now?
Yes, a real grind, I'm sure, JC
but when I sleep on the sofa I'm fine...
mattress pad and higher thread count sheets may help with that, just
same inane, unimaginitve questins thirteen times a day...i'd lose it
Discussing the upcoming tour that starts later this month, franny.
ah. have you toured the states ever?
have 2 mattress pads dc...the one that they make you buy with the mattress....plus another one..plus using 1000count sheets as weel
oh, my. does cooling the room or a fan help?
Not so much, only performed in NYC and LA, many years ago - didn't go over so well, as they didn't understand the humour all that well. A lot of it fell flat! :/
how awkward JC
dummies. maybe it would be better now...
I remember just after we bought it about a year and a half ago, that august moon said she was going out to buy a reg spring mattress to replace here mirrorfoam as she couldnt' take the heat and I scoffed
JC, you should try Key West, as I've said before
shouldn't have scoffed
And provincetown.
come to canada jc..we get brit humour here...appreciate it even
Yes, flosey - but oh well.
i've watched some of your videos - "I" get your humour! ;)
Awww, thank you Franny! ;)
I even bought this thing for over 100$ last month called cool mattress....lasts for 6 hours to keep you cool......hate it ... :(
waste of 100 plus 15% tax :(
I'm simply not seeing anything in this grid. Hmmm, that bodes well for finishing . . . :P
i thought it was just me! i'm not either JC - only have 18 so far. boo.
over half way and nbt's...is lickety up?
goodness, just. what a difficult series of events
I'm in the same condition, JC -- yesterday's seemed like fun and I didn't have time :(
yes, just, he posted at about 12:03 Grid Time
yes, justy
yes
I enjoyed yesterday's grid
well done, justy
well I still have my 'simmons' spring mattress...gonna try to sleep in it tomorrow and next few days to compare...
I have 36, which I suppose isn't too bad, considering I've been in the kitchen starting a pot of coffee, letting the dogs out, then toasting some bagels, and sitting down here again to eat . . . :P
yesterdays grid was quick and painless compared to this one so far lol
sounds like a plan, just. good to have the option
only a few here..too tired, will call it a nigt.
i'd say so, JC
I loved that mattress and it is over 20 years old (was top of the line in its time)
g'night, Kate
goodnight Kate, sleep well
I have 9 words :-P
nite kate sweet dreams
night katie tc
Night TK
i have 64
thx jilli
good night all, pleasant hunting. ** POOF **
anyways dc...do yourselves a favour, and do some research....google {probs with foam mattresses) and if you do buy....buy from a place that gives you a 30 or longer trial period....
*30 day*
we will, just. I've slept on one for a couple weeks and liked it. But yes, trial period is important, especially with such a change.
thank you for your advice and feedback on it, Just
and the money ....the better ones are costly and remember....foam density must be between 5.3 and 5.9....
Alabaster does not like the lingering rose scent from the Dr Bronner's Rose Castille Soap. LOL
Yes, but the good ones are well worth it. :)
yes, just, i've done enough research, and they also come in 8 and 12 inch depths, at least in US
yw and hope you like it...the comfort is amazing but the downsides (if any) are not pretty
I have a foam layer on top of an ancient coil mattress -- very comfortable.
That's the soap we use, Séain - we get the unscented baby soap in the massive gallon jug, and fill all our soap dispensers with it, adding our own precious oils to each - tea tree and peppermint in the kitchen, tea tree and lavender in the bathroom, usually.
we usually use the Almond, but a friend got a Rose one in the mail she didn't want, so i took it. Scenting our own is a good idea. How much oil/quantity do you use?
You call them 'essential oils' over there . . .
my husband loves lime scent - Williams-Sonoma made one but discontinued it. can't find lime soap anywhere now!
yes, both terms are used in the crunchy circles i travel in :)
glad it's comfy for you jilli...it's such a subjective thing...
In a typical soap dispenser, we put about 4 drops of each oil, except in the kitchen - I will put more of tea tree in that one, because I want stronger disinfection from it, after handling raw bones for the dogs' and cats' meals.
morning all...
the WS lime things did smell lovely.
hubby loves both so no probs there
thank you, JC for that info. We'll give that a go next time.
can anyone usggest a scent that will remove cigarette smoke smell?
yes rolin! i've just dealt with this!
frow what, ro?
febreeze?
yes, rolin, quit smoking
bought a chaise from craigslist - didn't know til we were carting it home in the car that it REEKED of smoke.
a whole room seain...its my partner's study..
I have to get ready to head out - will try and finish this tonight if I can. Ugh, not looking forward to this! :P
pretty powerful stuff but choose the scent that's most appealing to you
jilli...i wish he would...*sigh*
Have fun . . . *POOF!*
wash with a dilute vinegar solution, with a hint of lemon oil from the rind of lemon. test on paint first.
tried several things first... Ohh.. whole room??? well i dunno - what ultimately worked for the chaise was to douse it in white cider vinegar, let it sit, and then rinse it out
hast, JC
what did you do franny?
Chin up and charm them, JC -- easy for you
make him smoke in a "certain" area, closed off from the rest of the house
just...he does...in the study... i told him that hes ruined all my books..and that he better leave me money to replace them..lol
lol...did he agree?
oooh, the books is harder, but not impossible
unfortunately yes... he actually thinks money will be fair compensation for not having him there...sill man
I'm off to bed, bit of headache, hard to look at this screen, goodnight all
night flosey -- not a migraine I hope
g'night flosey
no jilli, just soggy sawdust - heavy feeling
that ve5 usually has a double cons in middle
I smoke and so does hubby but he smokes less than I do...tried to quit at least 4 times but he didn't....just knowing that smokes were in his breast pocket of his coat was enough to waylay (sp?) me
my grandpa quit when grandma did to make it easier for her.
rolin - just found this: http://www.rd.com/advice-and-know-how/ extraordinary-uses-for-vinegar/article 24053.html
just down the page a bit it says what to do for smoke
rest well, flosey.
but it's been many more times than 4 that I've tried to quit....tried the drugs....reactions to them....tried weaning....cold turkey...gum, patch.everything you can thing of but no success :(
Hello all - just have you tried the new "e" ciggies
there's a biological basis for that. Some bodies have better nicotine tolerance than others. Hence, some smoke more, some less, and some not at all.
what are those, ursh?
???? e ciggies? have not heard of that
Electronic cigs with nicotine and no tar etc - can smoke anywhere no smoke just vapor and no smell
it's also a known fact that women are more highly addictive to substances than men are :(
oh, i've read about those, ursh. I don't know if they're available here yet.
never heard of that ursh...do you have a website to check that out?
Justy -- you have to figure out WHY you smoke -- oral gratifiaction or something to do with your hands or what, and find a substitute. I used fake cigarettes called Paipo, from Japan -- now I see there are Nicorette ones (I think) -- for oral gratification
sigh jilli....it's been a little over 40 years now...can't figure out why, now, after all these years
not a good time for me to enter the chat yet I guess
it was sooo acceptable when I started..almost like if you didn't you were a social outcast
ooooh...ty franny..... i will give that a go....if its that easy...ill be eternally grateful!
why not, ruru?
well then I guess not ru..if you say so
yw. i will say, it Really cut the smell on the chaise - just give it time to air out the vinegar smell. good luck
re8
my father, in 1970, was lying in a hospital room, suffering a heart attack at age 52 and begged me to light a cigarette (in his room which was perfectly allowable) so that I could blow the smoke across his nose so he could smell and inhale it :(
that's not uncommon for many trying to quit/have quit/are denied, Just
you're allowed to say re8, ruru, but I haven't found it, lol!
a few months later he died of a heart attack, in his bed, where I found him :(
I was 19
how sad just.. and a horrible habit
So sad, justy :(
had to wake my mom, who fell asleep on the sofa, downstairs and tell her :(
just - google electronic cigarettes quite interesting
that's hard, Just. I'm sorry that it was thusly.
Has anyone found the g6?
yes I agree, sad , and terrible habit, but such an addictive one, especially for those who have highly addictive tendancies
not ai, jai ;)
Jai---Gi6 sounds like a baby cat
that's a verb where i grew up
ty, pug
hiya pugs..
oh my, pug! And i :)
hi kiddies
looooooooong time not see
TY, Pug!!!!!
thx dc appreciate your caring
just moved & have been breaking my anus non stop for about 6 weeks
Living in the South, I should have gotten that one easy...
do you want to quit smoking just?
yes but at this point, and after all my trials, I'm not sure that I can :(
I understand..
Yes you can
My father smoked his whole life.. and could never quit
sorry im still here just scoffing on dinner
My mom quit for 6 months, and has been 3-4 packs a day through most of my life.
ruru!!!!!!!!!! dear friend hugs
wb, kiwi
HI Kiwi.. wow.. my favorite people are here.
it's a really really tough addiction although I have cut down a lot as if you smoke in public, you are looked upon as an outcast
dc!!!!! hugs to you also
wow 3 - 4 packs a day is 3 to 4 times my addiction. the cost must be prohibitive
i have to admit i smoke more when im sick than when im well :(
we live in Virginia. Cigarettes are cheap here. Low end is at about $18 /carton, and that's before case discounts
well stay well kiwi...:)
high end is about $28/carton
I really hate cigarettes and cigarette second hand smoke.. I do understand how hard it is to stop.
a carton of 25s costs about $150NZD which is about $100USD
yikes dc...but if I could only move to the USofA...I hate American cigs and if I it was such that that's all I could smoke I'd prob find it easier to quit
we still have the nation's lowest cigarette tax at 0.25 per pack. up from 0.025 5 years ago.
in Maryland and DC they're twice that, and in NY they're 3X that. In OH, 4X that.
buying a single pack of 25's is over 10$...a cartron of 8 x 25 is about 60 at costco
yikes.. I didn't know that they were that expensive. how do you afford it ?
so QC like OH and almost as much as NY
11 left & half asleep ...just staring. Good night & happy Babbling all ! LE POOF!
I'm so glad I don't have to worry any more about buying cigarettes and cleaning ashtrays
g'night, pug
night pugs
but then we have many Indian reservations that produce their own and sell them at 1/2 price
don't do those tho
MD has 1 tobacco farm left. There are no tobacco auctions left in MD or VA. NC has 3 left, and KY has a few. Tobacco prod in VA down 40% in the last i-forget-how-many years.
to my way of thinking....if governments weren't so keen on the taxes of those cigarette sales, they coulda, shoulda.......
NBT and exactly halfway -- very tired so I'll go to bed -- happy babbling all and goodnight!
they stopped allowing any cigarette/tobacco advertising or sponsorship here over 20 years ago hoping it would help stop ppl smoking or starting to smoke but its backfired
more ppl smoke now than they did 20 years ago :(
g'night, jilli
here, they smoke MUCH less than 20 years ago.
nationalized the sale of them to people of a certain age only,..to those who started before it was known to be so harmful, and outlawed them to all those others who were born after, let's say 1980...
nite jilli
night jilli
take care
prohibition is a bad idea, IMHO. That leads to atrocities like the US 'war on drugs'.
you have to be 18 here to be allowed to purchase cigarettes or smoke but so many younger ones smoke as their parents or peer buy for them
then they'd have been phased out but c'mom gov'ts are greedy pigs
it failed with alcohol, it has failed with marijuana &C, and it would fail with tobacco.
they want the fking taxes on them greedy bastards
We need to be 18 here now. Growing up, i'd walk to the store and get ciggies for my mom. They outlawed smoking in the Elementary schools - by students and staff - here in VA only 23 years ago.
They outlawed smoking in all schools in this region of the state, by students, in 1984.
they spend millions of $$$'s on ad campaigns telling you not to smoke but they just love the high taxes collected from them...such hypocrites
all schools and educational places are smoke free all buildings or premises aare smoke free except your own house/car
all public transport, all parks and recreational areas
people here are complaining because bars are now allowed to be smoke-free, and most opted to become smoke-free.
here they've made it a law that if you're caught smoking in a car with children...(minors) you will be convicted to the full extent of the law
we're not allowed to eat, drink, smoke. play music w/out headphones, among other thins on our public transit here.
ohhh i remember the outcry when that happened here dc
so much for individual rights....such a slippery slope
wow just. My sister's asthma, and my ear infections, stopped when we each moved out of our mom's house.
my generation is the first smoke-free one on mom's side.
no one on dad's side smokes at all.
well I have an 11 year old Camry with only 74,000 kms on it...I have never smoked in my car...
with or without children ie my son
That's impressive, Just. Even my mom doesn't smoke in her new car. She steps outside to smoke when watching the grandkids, too, as does their father.
sorry, no criticism meant there.
we had a Jetta (from back in the '80's ....the whole electrical system screwed up from the stickiness of nicotine
really. huh.
so we decided then that smoking in the car was a no no...my car even has a new car smell to this day :)
wow.. just think of your lungs? wow..
very well done, just
Been there done that ru...esp with internet where you can find anything you want....addiction is much greater than that...also...
in Canada, every cig package comes with a huge picture and explanation why one shouldn't smoke....
showing bad lungs, teeth, hearts etc etc etc....sigh
well I like you as you are just.. smokes and all.. I am sorry you have such a terrible habit..
and how much of a deterrent has that been, the picture? I know the UK uses that, too.
yes, i think not less of you either for that, Just
not much dc not much sigh...
i hope that goes for me too ruru lol
we get those just - nz copied canada
yes always kiwi..
cause it's a disease that happens over a long time...people think it ain't gonna happen to them
of course so, Kiwi
and for a statistically significant %, it doesn't. Not enough, but enough to be statistically significant.
i know its bad but i am an addict - i have tried many different stop smoking remedies til they were coming out of my ears and havent been able to give up
well it's not like I never tried to quit...have tried ....more than 8 times
but then i think alot of my addiction is stress related or a mindset that if i give up smoking im going to put all the weight back on again that ive lost in the last 2 years
tried everything that is conventional....maybe one day..maybe not
hi guys!
hi pavie
hi, pav
ciggies contribute less to that than you imagine, kiwi
pav!!!!!!!!!! hugs good to see you
In my case kiwi...I'm not worried about weight gain....I'm prob the only person in the world who sat on her ass for more than 4 months (due to crushed heel) and lost 15 lbs cause getting to the fridge was too much of a problem and so blew it off
hey pav
i got up to 45kg in lost weight but have put back on 5 kg since i got spayed last may :(
I'm allergic to cig smoke...and I've been losing weight this year...at the rate I'm going I'll have disappeared / shrank by oh, hmmm 50 more months....
and due to that...not eating...my stomach shrunk unreal and know I eat like a baby with regard to quantity, if that
spayed kiwi? tubes tied? huh?
there are no proteins in cigarette smoke, therefore no allergy. Irritation and discomfort, yes, though.
yes just - i had a hysterectomy back in may
oh my did they take the ovaries too?
yeah, that's what the doc said...but why would my throat constrict and I stop being able to breathe?
dc don't forget the hacking cough and mucus regurgitation :(
oh god no tubes tied - the whole hog except the ovaries - still got them just not the bit that joins them to you know where lol
better that way kiwi....better to still have ovaries :)
asthmatic reaction can do that, pav.
so you got built in birth control now :)
thats what my gyaene told me - that way no periods and menopause is mild
uh.. yeah..
yes i can play up to my hearts content rofl and leave the ex to have to go through parenthood again - his partner is pregnant and due xmas eve and i think its a real hoot
just hoping new man doesn't want kiddies kiwi ?
no he doesnt
asthma does run in the family...as well as any other common dis-ease ...like cancer, strokes, anemia, diabetes and good 'ol Arthur and Itis...
i talked it through with him before i got it done
there's always adoption tho....lots of Asian tots needing parents!
well good kiwi...good move!
I guess your ex doesn't learn kiwi..he screwed up the first round.. what makes him think he will do better this time
adorable pups, pav
lust perhaps ru?
or what he thought was lust but now is just a repeat
at least i wont be there to pick up the pieces ruru and thats the main thing as far as im concerned tho i do pity the boy when its born
thanks DC..they were groomed over the weekend....now if they'd only help with the house chores...
ohhh it's a boy?? lol
lol pav
I don't understand what makes these guys go out and create more families..when they need to care for the ones that they have
yup and his partner is also a grandmother
lolol lucky him!?!?!
i mean surely at his age he could deal with birth control properly or else she didnt accidentily on purpose lol
so the child will be younger than the grandchildren?? lol
there's a segment of the male population ruru that missed the "common sense" gene and go straight for "survival of the fittest " mode to conquer their own world...
yup just by about 2 years
Yeah I guess you are right pav..I just don't understand it
my father was 11 mos older than his youngest uncle. They went to school together.
indeed so, pav
oy...is all I have to say
the overlapping generations occurs frequently in cultures with large families....my grandmother had 13 living children, the youngest of whom was born after the first and perhaps second grandchild...
my youngest sister is onlky 2 1/2 years older than my kieran
good evening..PAV are you from Phoenix, AZ?
....yep a Phoenician...trying to enjoy the cooler climate from Canada via the Internet...
my eldest cousin passed away before our grandmother....
Native Phoenix also
speaking of tobacco - st6
it was just barely 100 when I left work at 8 pm tonight...
I suppose I should attempt to play...
yikes pav...we're at 13c right now at 2:51 am
st6? stinky isn't there dc :)
I'd take your 100f over this any day sigh
lol mar
I love desert and/or tropical temps
it was about 108 this afternoon... with the cooler temps coming in late Nov or Dec I hope....
mind you we've had the nicest sunniest weather in the last two weeks than we've had all summer
its 66f inside here
yea, it is hard to cook turkey and stuff all day when it hasn't cooled down properly
but sun is setting sooo early and rising sooo late now :(
that's chilly kiwi...
it is thats why im wrapped up warm - run out of firewood and not enough spare cash to buy any really
ain't giving up my sun icon for sure :(
im hopeful i wont need to buy anymore this year
I have the air conditioner set at 84 inside...that way it's still about 20 degrees give or take less than the outside temp..
the biggest pain about the heat is the asphalt is too hot for the dog's paws. Not cool enough till the wee morning hours - 3am
sob pav...change with me???? please ..I love warm and we have such horrible winters
that's why I'm here Just! I was raised in Michigan...
well now that i found the carrots/cauli/broccolli slang and plural im done and dusted woohooo
but then.....Montreal is such a great place to live..(other than weatherwise)...cosmopolitan, multicultural, 2nd largerst french speaking city in the world, great food (actually unreal food!)
phantom = idiot....
food?
ve 5/6 pav
oh yeah!!! foooooood
5/6 combo that is
anything and everything anyone could ever want
usually spelt with another G but sure I'll bite...
dont forget to eat your ve 5,6 on your plate pav
touting the frenchness of montreal is the anglophone ;)
wine selection.....unreal...and cheap (by world standards)
well, I can't foresee living without puerto rican arroz con pollo y gandules....
thanks Kiwi..I did get that/those thanks!
biggg cuban/mexican/carribean population here!
haitians, jamacans, south americans here
very multicultural
okies with that i send you all my love and hugs til tomorrow day - im off to catch up with some housework nitey nite all
i talked to a woman in Montreal one day at work who asked if i spoke french or spanish. i said spanish. she proceded to speak to me a in a spanish/french patois, though she understood my straight spanish.
g'night, kiwi, sweet dreams
bye kiwi I'm almost off too
she wasn't the only hispanoparlante i spoke to in that city, either
even though I still have 48 left
sorta lost interest hmmmm
yeah, i'm leaving 35 for tomorrow. G'night. Just, thank you for another lovely evening of conversation.
this is such a great city, great housing prices, living prices, but........horrible winters :(
happy babbling/sweet dreams/good day, yall!
well, yes there is Winter.
great food, bakeries, diversity, but horrible winters! lol
and i agree it's a great city, Montreal

Because madam likes to be brushed

Hello Scrabbs, how are you today?.
Waking up still.
Scrabbler. happy belated birthday to you.
How are you, Elder? I haven't seen you here recently. Hi & TY, Herin.
:). this grid will test your cells then.
Scrabbler I hope you had a wonderful day
These small grids always increase my vocabulary and frustration level.
Am fine thank you. Have been off again with the back and other ailments but progressing well. Planning to return to work next week.
I did--for one thing I was not working.
Are you ready for that, Elder?
I have found a few ancient words, helped by the fact that I attend church as a child.
Yes Scrabbler.. a bit achey and worn but need to get back into the world of the living.
Good clue, Elder--that helped me find do5
and check the B's
Aha, TY, and 1 B I found is made from hops--not a Biblical word.

bye elder
Hello Sprite, nearly missed you.. are you feeling any better today ? and how is your puppy?
snuggle Sprite. Sorry no time for chat as I need to finish and gon to bed
hi fern
puppy seems pretty good! Will call vet on Monday to make an appointment, vet will then decide on X-rays or not. I had X-rays taken yesterday, must wait for the results. Most of the blood tests came back ok. Am glad there's no sign of diabetis, still worried about the feet. How are you doing?
hi lady, sleep well
wow sprite - had no idea all that was going on - will keep positive thoughts going your way
Sprite hun what is wrong with you and puppy?
fireworks, thank you all. Off to my dental appointment
good luck inge and gratz
congrats inge, and bye
terra has been ill but is much much better. Also had very painful hips with too much room/space inside. Seems to be better now too, but vet will check next week.
Sprite, good blood tests came back fine, hope all is well with xrays . take care and thinking of you.
byee...
Sprite is the breeder going to be responsible for poor hips of the dog?
as for me: lost most of feeling in feet. Not caused by diabetis, as we know now. Doc thinks there is nerve damage from the lower back. Might end up in wheelchair. We hope the Xrays will show something curable though.
don't know yet, lady, haven't looked into that end of it yet.
Well the breeder should be responsible for their animals if they care. They should have done hip check scores on the puppy
they have done all that, lady. Hip problems didn't show until Terra fell ill.
awww poor puppy
What was making him ill?
Good day all, sorry to hear all that sprite, will pray hard for you both
oh man sprite.
hi sue
phantom: friction
Sprite I heart you
hi sue
and things may settle yet too! Vet said there is no telling what the hips will do during growth. THey may have been painful as a result of flu, who knows. 7,5 months is earliest age for X-rays.
thanks all of you. It means a lot to me.
love to you and sweet terra, sprite
thanks :) With all that love directed at us, Terra and I will get better in high speed!
ok i am done and dusted time to bed
sleep well lady
bye fern

Help, is it the Spanish today? Hola! (except that I can't do the upside down exclamation mark)
thats a rather large percentage of all the spanish i know, right there. hehe
There's a relief, I studied it for 2 years a long time ago and wouldn't be fit to carry on much of a conversation any more.
Good morning/afternoon Babblers; and Haz, thanks for your great clues.

Good morning purplepuff - you're welcome!

Hi, kids. Eesh. What a hectic morning.
Estoy muy bien, gracias.
Hello Judi - why the hectic?
Just crazy - phones ringing, copiers breaking down, had to consult on an employee disciplinary issue. Don't these people know I need to Babble???
Obviously not. Did you send a memo to everyone?
I'll remember to do that next time. Either that or hang out the "Do Not Disturb" sign.
Do both - belt and braces for babble.

Yes, Flosey. It was taken at my 60th birthday party and I had only just met my daughter, who was adopted back in '69. That's her at my side. Only the second time we met - since she was 3 months old. We're great pals now.
wow, what a joyous occasion! both beautiful - love the red hair
Thank you, Flosey. We had been trying to find one another since 1989. You're really up to date with music, aren't you? Razorlight, Libertines. Well done! So many of my friends in their 60s and 70s are stuck in the Beatles days.
and now truly have to run, have breakfast and clean up the kitchen before my lady comes and sees what a mess I've made

Good afternoon all..looking for the last gi..it's a 6/24
57 left here...dont suspect i will finish...
read, BR had a great clue for it - go while the gi6/24 is good
hi eva, and read, btw
I thinkI can finish but I've definitely got to work on it a bit...
sure you will, you'll get a second wind..or second sight?
hello. ive been popping in + out all day. :)
oh, i rarely actually finish the grids anymore. i play to distract myself at work, but thats about it...
hi read-knit-bake
I don't get that gi6 clue...must be thick
gi dbl consonant vowel consonant
slang cloquial
that was good. That BR...so talented. I am seriously thinking of putting my Babble days behind me...I have been here three years Oct 3 - I spend a little too much time here...Love it, but I think it's time to leave...left for three weeks once and came back!
colloquial
fireworks for me but had to go to the list
oh
oh RKB - don't leave for good, just take breaks now and again. :-)
maybe just on weekends?
congratulations, mary
or do only 1/2 the grid
WTG mary! so did i. :-)
Read, I agree, been at it for a few years, am retired, but I spend too much time here. Tried to stay away, but it addictive
I know - I am trying to think of ways that will satisfy my need, but I hate not to finish a grid if I can get help and use Lickety. I ilike to read the chat (I am avoidingFacebook)
facebook will suck you in like a black hole...perhaps only attempt grids less than 200 words?
reading back,quiting babble is easy,ive done it many times;)
well peeps, I am off to face the rest of the day - see you all tomorrow. :-0
Well now that I've finished, time to get some work done around here. Good idea Kate. Yesterday was too long.
That's why I am staying away.
bye, wolvie...have a great day
Forget facebook
crossy dont do facebook..eww
yes, was long...took a lot of time, though not too difficult...please find a way to stay...somehoew
surprised, crossy....hi there
howdy kate
I will be back tomorrow see you all then bye
bye mary
Take care all....I'll ponder what I will do. Going to Spain for a vacation in three weeks, so maybe that will be my breaking away point. Take care.
methinks facebook would be dangerous for crossy...heh
do you have a bit of time crossy?
bye R-K-B...have fun in spain if i don't see you
Spain should be great, and very inexpensive right now, the recession hit Spain harder than the US apparently.
they are in awful trouble red
yes, apparently the real estate boom was a bit too booming and now is too busting.
unemployment highest of all euro nations....housing prices have tanked...stock market in shambles
So, its probably a good time for us to all go and spend money there.
they over=built like crazy...were lots of brits getting holiday houses/condos there...now nothing...lots of projects abandoned while under completion
absolutely...or buy property
I am done! Last word was a damn plural!
I dont really think I'd want any property in Spain though. maybe a beach house here...
Congrats Kallia!!!!
wtg kallia!!!!!!
its just so far away from here...
the nicew thing about living in u.k., it'sjust a hop to go to lots of really great holiday spots too expensive for us to go to regularly
thanks :)
wish i lived in u.k.- really
I'm good in Florida, its all the weather of Latin America without the plumbing problems of some Latin American Countries....I could not deal with a UK winter, I am sure.
I'm heading to Spain in 5 weeks. Viva Espana!!!
Hi Guys
all this talk of spain is making my beach trip in a week seem rather puny...
winter in u.k. not bad compared to here...but awful compared to you
soodles...i'm sooooooo jealous!
hi aaron
Yup. 2 weeks in Lanzarote. Cant blooming wait.
nothing the matter with a nice beach. ^_^
I used to live up North, very close to Canada, I dont know how I did it now. but I guess you just get used to whatever you are experiencing. Summers here are a bit warmish.
I love the beach Eva, where are you going?
wouldn't want a fla summer, i'd die of the heat
where did you used to live red?
we are headed to OBX -- Whalehead
my brother's down your way...kissimmee
I'm blushing asking for a clue for the second no 4 please
french black
Thanx Une - I just had a blind-spot for that one
:-D
just got 30 point word
*sniffs the air* i smell popcorn....
36 left and need a ciggie break brb
hi une
wait for me
hey, TK :-)
OBX is awesoem! You will have a good time. Kate, I live about 20 min from Kissimee. I used to live in Rochester nY.
sorry une...was just following jacq out the door
ok, back to my movie, State of Play -- really good!
we love OBX -- my parents rent a house there every year. :)
aunt's brother in rochester.
enjoy une
Rochester was cold, a cold I have no desire to ever experience again...
wtg aaron
it is raw there isn't it/
great uncle and aunt in sun city
must say, rochester's got nothing on buffalo when it comes to winters yhough
eva- where is OBX?
They are right beside each other and pretty much get the same lake effect snow.
But I am happy in Florida.
back
didn't realise rochester got it so badly. ;-)
welcome bacq, jacq
We spent several weeks without power when I was there due to an Ice storm...it was rather chilly.
how long have you been there now red?
nasty...weeks??? ouch
is your town bak to normal now jacq?
I've been gone from the North for at least 10 years, but in Fl for a little over a year now.
where were you before fla?
it's getting back to normal in most places but no word on how long people will be in temp accommodation yet
that's terrible jacq...didn't realize they weren't home yet...nothing like uncertainty
as far as i know they are all in local hotels but not too sure who foots the bill for that, and a fund has been set up to help tjose who couldn't get contents insured after last flood because they will need everything
seen the chat before but still must comment...why does council allow these homes to be built, when they can't get insurance? seem inane
they have just given permission for even more homes on a flood plain
is there no where else to build within the town's boundaries? if they were to guarantee insurance i might be able to understand, maybe..just trying to get more tax revenue?
they are building on long established green belt land, forgetting it's always green for a reason
and they are failing to upgrade the drainage when they do build on and the drains can't cope
eg5?
I dont get the build off the eg4
sounds like an episode of 'to the manor born'...new farm manager comes in and tears out hedges and plants with disastrous results
i don't think it does sue
beyond comprehension, jacq
i am looking for it too
eg 4 think freud , pl
like the id only bigger
it's the eg5 kate
got it
id, eg4, supereg4...
jac leave off the cirlcle vowel
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
ty ty ty sue and kate
eg 5/14 to expel ( esp. from dstomach)
sorry, forgot to pl it
sorry was looking at photos, I worked as a travel Nurse before Florida, so everywhere, NH, NM, NC, SC, etc....
what is travel nurse, travel with clients who need care?
Oh no, You go to a hospital that needs a nurse, and work there for three months, or so and then move on. Nursing, very portable career.
like the carolinas, just not their hurricanes...would love to have beach property there...
need help with to 7/28
mother nurse...she's worked lots of diff. states too...arkansas noe
now
Arkansas has some beautiful areas.
to 7/28 most fashoionable

sorry no my mind is getting tired I've got 30 left
34 here and it is gettng harder in sprts.

:(
I am taking a break from tomatoe harvest
oooh, I love tomatoes!
tried to grow 2 whole plants this year...
I had a bad harvest and so did my sister so we went to a pick you own place and got 20 # each to process and freeze
...harvested a whopping 1 tomatoe about the size of a small plum :(
I seldom eat tomatoes I didn't grow
Well, I simply confirmed that I am apparently not a gardener! :(
what did your dirt look like?
what did it smell like?
brand new (recommended by the store)
was it in direct sun?
dirt from a store? what brand?
direct sun with very late afternoon shade
oh, gosh, I wouldn't know that offhand, jmc...sorry
lol I know too much!
I think it was more the 106F that killed them than me because I really did water them!!!!
most store bought dirt is chemically enhanced and not as good as they say
did the plants look limp?
ahhh...
Look limp? Honey, they started drooping after the ONE little tomatoe started to grow! :(
you can over water plants, especially if they are in a pot
hello
they may have had a virus called wilt or they may have been over watered
hi phae
I am diagnosing pni
I have to admit, they are in a barrel planter and were watered daily...but only enough to see the water get soaked up...

go look up awana for me stiddie
I read it on a sign today and don't know what it is
just because you find a word does not prevent you from continuing to look
awana???
Awana (derived from the first letters of Approved workmen are not ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15) is an international evangelical nonprofit organization founded in 1950, headquartered in Streamwood, Illinois. The mission of Awana is to help "churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love and serve Christ."[1]
the sign on the church said awana starts on Sept 20
ty BR I was guessing All White Assn of North America
oh -- it's a scary thing, jmc. *shudder* sounds cult-like
woohooo fire words, my last one was the one with 2 eyes as well lol
congrats, meliae
YAY mel!!!!

Approved workmen are not ashamed - how peculiar!
Congrats Mel!
thank you
I suppose I should be ashamed I have not been approved
I will now go read my book about the ways education can be used to support societal values (indoctrinate)... *sigh* and how it can be mis-used to keep people "in their place" *bigger sigh*
*dragging feet* *logging out* p o o f . . .
it did't work to keep me in my place although lord knows they tried
bye stiddie
lol by stiddy
now that sounds scary! bye Stid
hey guys! just happened to be lurking, want to tell you that I went to Awana club as a kid - it was great! You played physical games, had snacks, memorized bible verses, did crafts, got badges,kind of like girls scouts with a little bible tossed in
is the os6 related to the os7? please help
cool good to know helen
no Jacq
is it connected to a particular brand of faith?
hi Helen! was your father an 'approved workman'
sounds kind of like the illegal hormone that is illegal in sports
isn't that the 7 mel?
you got to meet new friends, learn new things, nothing at all creepy about it - yep, it was held in the little church in my neighbohood, but they didn't try to get you to join up - on the NW side of Chicago, most people are Catholics

clue for di 6/27
what happens with your food after you eat it
what your body does to food
di6.27 Reader's Di****
di == process food in the stomach
readers di**** popular magazine
got ty
or a magazine known as readers di6
jmc, I think anything with a religious flavor can appear creepy, but in retrospect, it's a good thing to learn bible verses, whether or not a person believes them & lives by them remains a personal thing
actually I teach bible stories to the HS students at my Meeting and over opposition gave graduating seniors bibles
even if you don't believe the bible is the word of god, much of literature alludes to the stories in the bible so it is good to have some grounding in it
knowledge is power, shouldn
t bash what you don't know
absolutely!
but the sign was in a *ahem* area not know for its well *ahem* openess
Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes
so I let my imagination run away
well shut my mouth and pass some of that opium BR!
okay Karl

other than the French Laundry.
LOVE the french laundry... i suspect they are somewhat recession proof due to small size and waiting list

I owe some clues to the community for the help I get in the mornings
have read all my email and am going horizontal. Gute Nacht, babbler friends. Bis morgen
gute nacht, inge
I just found the no8 all by myself!
well done dr! how ya doin'?
I am ok TK- My son got in a fight at school today
2 boys made fun of his mole on his eyebrow- he tried to punch one of them and the other one hit him with a backpack
oh, no...the pecking order ritual for the coming year?
rotten little monsters!!!!
I guess-He said he did not even know these boys
i have a mole on my eyebrow..no lie!
he's 10?
They will see the vice principal tomorrow. I am worried because he was the one who swung first
yes TK- and his is dark black and big
it is hard enough being10
sometimes yu just have to stand up. unfortunately what happens first few days of school year can be predictive of rest of year...noew they know he'll not take their crap lyng down...and he did it aloine
grade 4? 5?
5th grade
same school as last year?
- The school may put him in anger management
yes- same school
different bullies
if he is so big for age that may make him a target..other kids trying to prove thy're tough. has he had problems before that they want him in counselling?
he is tall for his age.. last year a kid in his class was abusive to the point that the kid told him- I am only picking afight with you so I do not have to go tosocial studies
but my son has a quick temper and could use some help in that area I think
is the school aware? he may need to controlk his temper better, but that is unaccep0table behaviouur on the part of that other kid
Hello all!
Hi Jilli
yes, the school is aware!
brb- need a drink of water
he's at that age where he should begin to learn how to get along or get around other kids..it's a process. doesn't happen overnight. i knew a kid at that age same problem with being targeted because of size...he will have to learn how to deal for sure, but surely some of the responsibility lies with the other kids. boys seem to take longer to get socialized in this dept. than girls...but they do get it. do you think he needs counselling?
hi jil
come back to clean up the last few pesky words jil?
hi all
Hello, Dorens
yes, 17 to go
good job jil
hi BR, hi dorens
just read back dr... anger management can't hurt, can it? and go jilli go!

ruru.. drinking 85 Mazis Chambertin tonight..
hi LBD
omg.. wow.. from who?
hey ru .. heel spurs, two on one foot, count 'em, two! and plantar fasciitis AND achilles tendonitis! i am a wreck!
hi all
may i stay if i don't have a foil hat?....note to self...find out if ruru needs a stock adviser
oh.. that is terrible welki.. painful too.
ouch welki
Hello, jmc
Ru, I recycle, same foil cap, now have bottoms of cans attached to it for nice reflective qualities
OWIE, Welki!
ken. my honey. the wine maven with 3,000 bottles in his wine cellar. and about 300 bottles of 85 grand cru burgundy. which needs to be drunk in the next two years or so. I aiim to help him ruru
wow dorens, even i know that's a special bottle of wine
hi jmc
Suddenly seeking George :)
LBD is ready for a RV convention now
it's obscene, really. too good!
hi jilli
<< who can't be found
ok.. I am back
i can almost pick up KOMA! lol
Hi, all! *researching proper foil hat design*
I see it is a foil hat night *dons foils hat with wings*
need any help dorens?
who is the producer dorens.. you lucky girl?
haha jilli, and I thought you meant Clooney
hey jmc ... trade the 9/3 in for a hummer?
Hi DR! give jakester a hug from me. what a tough day at school for him.
hard to keep up with who is in love with him around here
you'll have to catch up now dr..
gosh no! it is limo theme
12 left
George is found :)
Hi ruru!
I think all the girls like Clooney..
<< is very afraid now
dr. read about your son... anger management should be a good thing... everyone can benefit if it's done well
you don't need to be, george, unless you're clooney... if so. be afraid
hi ruru, georg, jmc
dorens.. the name of the producer.. on the mazis?
be very afraid
hi tk
ruru...i don't like him
This George isn't Clooney -- maybe lisghtly looney :)
hi george don't believe we have met
hold on ruru, will hobble over to the kitchen and check it out
p. nadeff?
hi george.
*slightly
^_^
you would be about the only one TK
'ello 'ello
10
Nadef is solid.. I bet it is great
is the photo you?
Olivier Leflaive Freres
clooney is okay. no drool factor for me tho
only slightly Jill? there's a compliment
probably ruru..but i don't see what all the fus is about
dorens, too bad we're not geographically closer .. we'd make a fine pair, you on crutches, me hobbling like i'm walking on ice
oh.. that is a negociant..
I loved clooney in oh borther were art thou?
yeah, as it says--taken by me with my mobile
TK.. he is a very handsome gentleman...you have to admit.
on June 28 during the horrid heatwave we had
exactly.. it says eleveur-negociant, 21190 puligny-montrachet
sorry didn't read the whole profile -- very cute
yeah Clooney is--he's got hair
I don't anymore, eh well
what does all that wine talk really mean?
glad you quit smoking george
It means that dorens is in velvet pinot heaven right now.
yeah me as well, ta
it means tasty lbd!
would lend you a crutch happily, welki
looked okay way back when e.r. started..but stillnever turned my crank..don't know why. i like 'em smart
sure is feeling better already
thanks, jmc
<very jealous of dorens>
means boone's farm is still under $10 and you can probably still find mateus rose on the shelf :)
velvet is right, ruru. and i have school tomorrow so i only had one glass. well, I said i'd only have one glass but had to have a second when i realized how good this was
9
I know those wines.. I taught a class in Burgundy for years
You are walking on the foot, Dorens?
go jmc
i will admit i'm very fortunate Kate. he is a sweetie and he has this amazing wine. and he's come over every night this week making dinner for me. oh no, babrab. no can do
wasn't messy teaching in Burgandy? Did you need burgandy wings?
taught in burgundy or taught about burgundy?
taught about burgundy ..sorry.
not quite happy with the crutches yet, but making do. will see the orthopod on monday and hoping for good news
burgundy wings are probably more fun than tin foil ones, jmc
Doren -- did you call for takeout yesterday?
did a barge trip on the canal in burgundy two years ago... great fun
I hear those are great.
*reshapes foil wings in to antennae*
yu are indeed fortunate dorens. and who is yur fairy wine god person?
no jilli , haha, the one night he wasn't here. but i had turkey and good bread and nice farm tomatoes, so made a quick sandwich and that sufficed.
did you do the cooking school one too
8
go Jmc!
thanks jm can you turn a little bit left I need better reception
Hope things work out best for your son, DR
no, just rode bikes along the canal, ate amazing meals , three different cheeses at each lunch and dinner and two lovely wines... heavenly. visited clos du vougeot and hospices de beaune and all that too
*turns* hows that ru?
..little more.. little more..
ty BR- it is hard to be 10 and smart and tall
7
*falls off chair*
LOLOLOL
off to help with geography homework/// will be back for 15 later
carefull, jmc. you'll end up on crutches like dorens
*hands ru foil hat* adjust it yourself!
later, DR
now you've done it, ru .. made her fall from her chair. *hands jmc a glass of j.d.*
bye dr! hang in there with the boy
oo I knew I was missing something!
ty welki!
yw
welki, what's the doc gonna do about your foot?
6
jmc i'd give you a sip of the mazis chambertin if i could
don't forget to come back dr
I am afraid after the Jack I wouldn't appreciate it Dorens
oh my. i think you could always appreciate this stuff.
well ... today i had a cortisone shot and filled a prescription for celebrex (naprosyn doesn't work for me). i'll have my orthotics rebuilt and go back for a check up when they come in and a couple of weeks after that. if no change, then more imaging (ct scan and bone scan) and perhaps surgery
5
takes jm's glass.. gimme it I am the professional
what exactly is it welki... bone spurs?
poor welki!
go jmc!!!
go jmc
hey get your own jack!
Good luck with that, welki
I will share my foil hat but taking my Jack is going too far!
tell you what, ruru and anyone else who wants to try it... come visit mountain lakes nj and i'll see if i can sneak a bottle out of the cellar for you1
nothing works right when your feet hurt. poor welki
we're only talking about left foot so far (right one will be assessed after this one is calmed down) .. 2 bone spurs (one on back of heel near ankle and the other on bottom of foot in front of heel), plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis
god that sounds bloody painful!
oh, poor welki. sounds much worse than a mere sprained foot. sympathy to you
4
sorry you're having that trouble
j is on fire!
you're right, lb ... i've caught a glimpse of my reflection while walking past a window and see someone who doesn't look very happy
there is light at the end of the tunnel welki? they'll be able to fix it?
they really look like spurs, btw
ouch ouch ouch.
trying to think of a witty line .... 'my bone spurs are big enough to prod a horse'
3
something about feet, when they hurt, nothing, absolutely nothing feels right.
gather up confetti for jmc...
my bone spurs are so big that i don't need real ones to rided
make sure it is clean confetti!
no that's very debilitating
*drum roll for jmc*
feet, knees, hips, back--anything that limits your mobility
how long have you had this condition, welki?
cranking up the volume on victory music
don't get carried away guys I am very slow
not tonight you're not
but i try to look on bright side ... if i can feel pain, it means i'm alive. (how's that for a stretch?)
readies the champagne fu\lutes
lb, foot problems for a long, long time, but never like this
best way to get through it welki
it's good you're trying to keep your spirits up, welki
2
Are those mongoose, TK?
go jmc go!!!
pops the cork on champagne bottle!!!!!!!!!
speaking of spirits ... i wonder if i can have a drink if taking celebrex
they are meercatsw br
they look like merkats, BR
well painful feet are completely debilitating as a painful back
that champ will go flat
yes.. but not any acetomenophine
1
magic champers
Thanks, commodore
dawg knows her mammals...
i think of riki tiki tavi when i hear mongoose. silly huh
no I do too lbd one of my favorite stories
(br hasn't seen lion king I am guessing)
not at all dawg... the only mongoose i know
timon! but i like pumba!
opens second bottle of champagne because the first one is for spraying; the second for drinking
last movie I saw was return of the jedi the week of its release
brb, jmc hold on to that last work til i get back!
love riki tikki tave...what's the proice of a cobra egg?
*puts on umbrella hat*
what a waste of champers--hope it was only a cheap one you sprayed
oh..jeez BR you need to get out more often
whoo hoo!
yay jmc!
cheap chammpers for spraying , outrageously expensive one for toasting
*puts up umbrellas ans sticks out champ flute*
Congrats, jmc
wtg jmc!
hands around champagne flutes overflowing with bubbly
woohoo, jmc!!!
CONGRATULATIONS JMC
well I listed but asked for few clues (although read a lot of them!)
sounds good TraderKate
*curtsy*
Holds out flute for more :)
passes around tray of toast for salutation
none for me thanks tk. still savoring the flavor here
(makes red potatoes stuffed with creme fraiche and caviar canapes)
still really jealous here...
which reminds me, I have to go for a vodka refill and get dinner.
only time I embarrassed myself drunk was on champagne
now that is tempting me ruru, more than the champagne
do tell ruru
way to go jilli
never worried about embarassing myself, only others *lol*
passes around jar of spicy pickled okra
This will be hard to believe, but I had the same foot condition--heel spurs, plantar fascitis (sp), so badly that I could barely walk. I had to stop eating sugar and grains (low-carb to control blood sugar) for another reason altogether, and when I did, all of the foot pain went away. Honestly.
haven't eaten dinner yet..now i'm starved. thanksruru
interesting anne
passes fresh crab cakes
Glad it worked, anneadams
And whenever I start eating that stuff again, it gets bad again.
pickled okra and champers?
think we should be haveing FISH EGGS
not that surprising, as I've recently found out through being seen by a kinesiologist that I'm allergic to wheat and sensitive to sugar so I've stopped both--use spelt, kamut, quinoa and agave syrup now instead and finding a lot of aches and pains I have are disappearing
pickled okra? Can it be made with frozen okra?
food sensitivities can cause all sorts of problems
need to cut off the okra sooner .. so it doesn't get pickled
ty for crab cakes
inflammation being a common one
Stidmama would heartily agree with you, George
LOL br
yeah well it's right, that
yes, joint aches, back pain, etc.
ever slice fresh okra (from farm or garden) and dip in cornmeal and then fry quickly? that is some good stuff. not like other okra
I never made it with frozen okra -- you need whole pods anyway
We don't get fresh okra here
the frozen okra I get is whole pods.
that does sound tasty, although I don't eat anything but raw foods now
couldn't do it with frozen.. too slimy
I freeze a lot of okra in the summer -- just slice it into a container and nothing else -- and then take it out frozen and dip it in egg and cornmeal and have fried okra in January
George -- are pickles considered raw?
clue for so please?
so+always
ty j
yeah they're raw--not cooked are they?
that's it, i'm heading east. jmc .. okra, jack, indian/asian cuisine .. maybe a trip to olde town or wolf trap?
you didn't wait, did you...whoooohooooooo JMC!!!
might could pickle the frozen okra but I think the pickles would come out mushy
no clue whatso****, Dorens, lol!
haha, ty rbud
fireworks :)
youre welcome to come welki -- I'll make my mississippi eggplant casserole and slice some tomatoes and we will be in heaven
fireworks here, too, any champagne left? :)
whooooo hoooooo WELKI!!
yay welki!!
congratulations welki..!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, welki
and yay, welki!!!
congrats, Rose
whoooooo hooooo RBUD!!
thanks!
so sorry lbd I didn't notice or I would have waited -- you are always such a big help to me most nights
i loooove eggplant! you sure we're not related?
whoo rbud
i have another bottle just for yo rbud, ( passes aound more champers)
BTW, gang, may I introduce George? He's a friend of JC and the brother of Shivs.
wtg rbud :)
well I am almost pure blooded Scot and you are from canada so you probably have Scottish blood too
yay! *holds out extra big flute*
nah, i was born in brooklyn
we met george and I kinda assumed he was friends with J.C.
Stidmama is lethally allergic to eggplant.
hello george. that explains the noticed similarities to jc.
how did J.C.'s 11 radio interviews go today?
and i was born in the bronx, welki. and i also love eggplant
well I will make stiddie something else
16, wasn't it?
what similarities?? he's a lot cuter than I am, ha ha!
leaves rest of bottle next to rbud
ooo fried eggplant and fried okra and fired green tomatoes mmmmmmmmmmmmm
dunno, george...
dunno, jmrickc--haven't spoken to him and was busy myself so not sure yet
got to run.. later guys
thought maybe he popped up sometime today and told people
be well, ruru
bye ru!
hello babble friends. crap crap CRAP. Went to feed Tertiare's hamster his bedtime tea, and he is GONE. Figure he has about an 8 hour head start. NEed to find him before the kittens do !!!!! YIKES. Poor Tertiare. poor hamster!

Hello, Trifioso

how much do hamsters cost anyway?
yeah, feline creatures
that happened a zillion times when my kids had hamsters. one time found her several days later in my closet, with a beloved handmade leather sandal half gone!
bye ruru, enjoy the mazis
they're nocturnal so you won't find'em in daytime
they run about at night
oops .. missed the introduction. hi, george, nice to 'meet' you ... welcome to the asylum

Hello, Jen
ha ha, ta welki

gotta scoot .. g'night folks
poor put-upon trif...
finished ... last words were what george eats. raw.
having spent some time in New Orleans . . . . I guessing I won't be surprises
congrats, Dorens
not that i don't eat them myself, i do love them
whoo hoo dorens
hello babblers. just popped in to say hello
hi robbie
you may have to hunt around to find one that looks the same as mia one...
thanks babrab. jmc and i bid you all a fair adieu
hi robbie
You eat raw moggies, Dorens?
lol (literally)
wot the 'eck?
hi jmc and trader
whoooo hooooo DORENS!!!
Am I leaving dorens?
hello, robbie
i have no idea what on earth a moggie is, but i'll sleep well anyway
no raw hamsters I thought
a cat
nice pink limo robbie, who are you
no rush!
a moggie is a cat, isn't it?
y?
so george says
no j, I"M leaving. about time i got my foot up in bed. see you tomorrow
of course, it's not a real word unless enable takes it, right?
hi lbdawger
are you mary kay?
bye -- is it my tunr?
turn
i'm sure it is
lol...i chose the picture of the limo because it was extremely pink
i'll wait while you check j.
that it is robbie...;-))
Right Trifs ..
yeah moggie is a slang term for cat here
my meerkats are stretching...
don't ask me why, I don't invent these things
TOR!!!! Now I am a-grinning!
Love meerkats, TK :)
it sounds like a word from Harry Potter moggie
or understand our language which doesn't make a right lot of sense a lot of the time
no robbie, it's been around a long, long time
you are right robbie, it does!
very happy creatures, and so interesting!
Some of it makes even less sense here in Babble.
that is muggle
hello
long before Harry Potter was ever thought of--or long before I was even thought of for that matter
oh course it is, traderkate, but it does sound harry potter-ihs
Hello, harpjane

alas I just realized that a months worth of work has disappeared in my computer and it is due tomorrow so I think I need to grab a Jack and a hot keyboard
Oh wait .. He's not dead .. He's pinin' for the fjords ..
oh, jmc, how unfortunate! do you have it backed up somewhere?
cu all tomorrow --- *dragging feet from chogamania*
jmc, that limo is gross!
poor jmc..sorry about the loss of your work
it is, isn't jill? ;-)
poor jmc...
I appreciate the sympathy I have until 9 am so. ...
It needs a "save the planet" bumper sticker....
jmc, if you pick up you puter and shake it upside down maybe it will all fall out
Good luck, jmc
pining for the fjiords????
rofl jill!
*poof*
lol trif 1/2 mile per gallon! ouch
PINING FOR THE FJIORDS/
how strange enable is - do5, 12 is an acceptable word, but not the same if its go5....
I was about to ask for a clue for ri4/4 and saved myself a faceful of fish cuz I found it.
trif, I think that's cuz it would be "goeth"
goeth is third person, goest is second person
I think not always, jili. Doesn't say "I go5 before thee to prepare a place for you?" in the King James Version?
no fish for jil!!!
sorry, doesn't it say.....
sorry, I'm a grammar geek
Nonono, I would just be I go, and yes, thou goest, he goeth.
I'm a grammar geek too
Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
yes
input always appreciated anneadams
is that an accusation :)?
There are certainly none of those here .. Begone!
BR
babrab, that was on our Snakes and Ladders board
thank you anne!
what about thee?
thee is an object
no, anneadams, that is biblical
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and y'all ..
yes but thee functions as an object
the be5/18's sure sound biblical
there are so many grammar goofs to cringe about these days
lol tor
lol tor! here it would be "yous" or "yous guys"
Satan hath desired thee (direct object), to sift thee (d.o.) as wheat
don't read the chat , whatever you do!
yus in joiy ?see
My recent favorite is "the lawn needs mowed" instead of needs to be mowed or needs mowing
where do you hear that? east coast?
west
Washington and Idaho and Utah
scary
I never heard that one anne...ah..i'm on the east coast
yessss
I hate when people use "impact" as a verb. ex: The chat impacts the grid in several ways. NO, no it doesn't. It might HAVE an impact....
sounds like something tou'd hear in newfoundland
I heard someone say"that really impacted me" and wondered if it constipated her, lol
lol.......
indeed anne! lol
trif, that used to drive me NUTS where I worked as editor/proofreader!
if i hear one more person say aks instead of vask...i will not be held responsible for my actios
lol
vask?
ask...aks
i can't stop laughing...constipated..lol
I would give just about anything to be an editor or proofreader....
did you write eats shoots leaves?
trif, it helps to be a control freak! lOL
I like the old odd terms, my mom is always saying things like "can't eat onions, they back on me..." what's that supposed to mean??? :P
no, but I read it!!!
i'm not going to find 50 words today
i love that book
having eaten our lunch the steamboat departed
lol
not with that attitude young lkady...just get cracking....
that rude steamboat
harp, AAACCCKKK!! LOL
"I was into our bedroom and saw my husband and another woman with a bottle wearing panties!"
hi une
trifioso, why do you hate impact used as a verb?
sorry, WENT into....
and most husbands look TERRIBLE in panties!
dangling participles...misplaced modifiers...such fun...where's gort to add her bit?
small little panties on a bottle....
and "task" . . . he was "tasked" with new responsibilities . . . makes me want to run screaming from the room!
ugh, I hate that one too!
D
"dialogued" is another one that gets me
and gifting someone with something
lots of nouns been turned into verbs lately...
and the very bizarre weather man/woman language that's developed . . . storm moving in "in the overnight"
lol
I used to get hot and bothered by "grow" when my boss would say "we need to grow their business..." but then I realized we say "grow vegetables" so I shrugged
i really HATE DISSED...DISRESPECT...HOW ABOUT sack of respect????? (sorry caps lock again)
Une, is that aix as in aix-en-provence?
my daughter often tortures me with verbified nouns LOL
yes, anne :-)
lack of respect
yes, don't verb nouns! ha ha ha
:-D
Are you French or did you just live there for a while?
went to school there, lived there, married (and divorced) an Aixois
chose "uneaixoise" back in 1995 when I took my first Internet class and the prof said to select a password that would be guessed easily by someone else
Wow. I lived in France for 16 mos. and my husband lived in Aix for a while, too, before I met him.
is the os 6 a common word?
*would NOT be guessed easily
anne, wow!!
wow interesting une
lived/worked in Paris -- taught at Berlitz School for a couple of years
i bet that I could guess what that password is NOW!
lol
Yeah, we both served missions in France for the LDS Church before we met.
oohhh, my experiences in France were definitely "secular" :-)
Wow, back!
well spoken une!
that is awesome anne
you could say you spent a lot of time there in a missionary position :)
trif LOL!!!
Well some of ours were, too, like getting proposed to my an Arab in the park to be part of a harem, lol/
i'll just say it was an excellent way to learn to speak the language . . .
by an Arab
yeah
a harem?..oh, my!
pretty funny
why don't women ever get harems? only in the apian world, I guess!
Une, is the curler still ahead of the one from the little sisters of the poor?

thanks for the reminder about GP day..what a nice tribute pav

things okay with brother yet?
the dogs need to go out..so i will go now bye all
thank god you're here then PAV, ha ha
start that anytime you like
we'll see if he calls tomorrow, or if I get a card...but work keeps me preoccupied for the time being...

oh ok...I'm about to start my BD cake...white on white with white choc pudding in the mix to make it velvety smooth....
don't let it worry your pretty little head, pav...just hoping for the best for you and the fur-babies
OMG...now i'm starving pav!!!!
saw the doc on Tuesday afternoon, and I'm still losing weight...somehow, which is quite the relief for me fter years of deliberately trying to lose weight only to have gained and gained and gained...
Afternoon all
this is good news pav?..you're not ill?
hi girlie
nah, I have a blood test every three or six months (when the doc remembers) 'cause he's worried about me becoming diabetic...even though it's about 2 lbs a month drop, he's still very pleased considering...
Hate to beg, but need help. Six to go. gi 6,24 pls?
rhymes with a small cat, carol
2 lbs. a good slow safe drop. keepup the good work!
yes, but at times my pateince wears thin and I'd like to lose more sooner...but slowly but surely wins the race...sp says the turtle...
TY kje kept putting in the wrong vowel.
hi kje! and thanks for the word...
yw
you lose it slow...more likely to keep off...do you walk foe exercise?
I "walk" the dogs..or them me, and usually up and down stairs at work 'cause peeps don't/won't answer their phones...
great for bumping up metabolism...30 min. daily if you can...at a fast clip...but if you can't carry conversation...you're walking too fast
why PR, PAV?

PAV -- you can't be that old already! LOL
hi stidder! how's life?
(none of us can)
let's not talk age, stid
I shall never forget that day, mainly because my paternal grandmother who past away this past April, called me almost every hour to check up on me...first and only time she's ever done that...
((PAV)) good for her - and you.
Hi stidmama! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
cute pic, minver! I do like it when the cute ones have birthdays ; )
hello Min, thanks! I finished a while ago...
how about you?
my Director was quite annoyed with me that day because I was hosting a very important conference with a guest speaker and all, and the phone calls kept coming...when I explained it was my grandmother she was even more annoyed...until the next day during our "routine morning constituion" when I described my grandparents to her for the whole mile-long walk...and then I became her nextest bestest friend for staying in touch with my grandparents...
I had to have my cell phone on because I was the host and emergency contact for all the VIPS from our dept at the conference...
wow. sounds like a Big Deal, PAV.
I had the misfortune of letting the hundred or so state employees, officlas, etc, the gov had us on lockdown
could I get a clue for the ge 5/16 please?
I am really really glad I have only ever done that sort of thing once. This summer. *shudder* never again.
