hi rbud...
I think I shall become a sociopath and eliminate the truly petulant and abrasive personalities of the world, starting with my neighbors and the adult miscreants of them...
being a sociopath is not as easy as it seems, PAV...trust me, I know!
perhaps...does it pay well?
lol, dan! - and sounds like you may have a story to go with that, PAV?
not around here it doesn't
after striving for the past month to find a way to keep some 67 odd employees from suffering furloughs, I could not in the end do so...so for the past week I've had to defend the calculations leading to the horror which must come...and in a room wherein I am the least paid and hold the most authority and responsibility was "thrown under the proverbial bus"..only to come home Wed evening to find a neighbor's guest parking in my second space..so I tagged it for towing (as I'm also on the HOA board)...tonight I found another neighbor parking in my spot so I asked her to move,,,and after listening to her gripe and complain about her own neighbor's bad parking habits, she finally did as requested. AS I was fnishing putting the dogs away she was conversing with first said neighbor about the parking issue...first said neighbor then followed me as I went to tag another vehicle which pulled into 2nd neighbor's space (which she was fearful of using) to show that I'm an equal opportunist... 1st said neighbor prevented me from tagging the errant vehicle and we were accosted by the vehcile's owners who were just leaving after visiting another owner (#3) with a *winner* of a daughter... "Peter never has anything better to do" ...

"Peter never has anything better to do" ...
btw 1st said neighbor has no "visible means of support" i.e. I don't think she has a "normal job" but lots of male visitors in high profile cars...
sorry for the burp...
oh, that's awful, PAV - so you think you tagged one of her "friends"? (good for you!)
agree with rbud. she should instruct her guests as to how to park properly
I took the pics and sent them in to the property manager as proof...so I'm through being nice...
not as bad as it could have been PAV...when my ex was pregnant with Darth, I complained to the manager about someone who parked in my space EVERY morning (I worked night shift). The manager towed it the next morning before I got home without trying to find out who it was. That afternoon, "someone" destroyed my windshield with a hachet...$900 worth of windshield!
said neighbor knows the rules but alas she can't control where her friends park...I don't live in fear of retaliation, but they'll ru3 the day when they try...
oh, Lord, it's a screwed-up world - everyone acts like they feel so entitled - same problem where my Mom lives, she has only so much room to park, and the neighbor is always in it, so she parks around the corner - and she's 79 - he's about 38.
he's always in front of her door, and a big empty space back of him where he should be, but she's "too polite" to take it.
speaking generally, of course, people are such aholes
neighbor #3's kids are sorrowful excuses...the daugh had a boyfirend who was caught with her best friend a few years back having "relations" after breaking into a vacant unit...he went to the pokey for abit as he was underage...but now he's communing with the household...
perdon...she was underage, he was just barely legal...
icky, PAV
hmmm, isn't "petri" a word? a dish?
Petri is a proper noun
aha, mighta known
was the dish petri or petrie?
they're known to be thieves, especially of nice garden plants and pots and patio furniture...a contractor found some healthy mj plants being grown on the roof above their unit...all the police would do is "counsel" them...
Petrie dish
that looks right dc
fireworks
congrats, dee :)
I have roughly two years left on my self imposed sentencing to live in my first home for ten years....
wow, PAV, you really do live in a choice spot!
yay Dee!
wtg dee!
yay, Dee!!!
I have 50 left...
ty; thank goodness for lickety on this one; I was blind as a bat without his list
may I help anyone?
well it was choice when I moved in...and then the neighbors started coming...
if you all are okay, I am off til the flip; hugs to each; have a happy day / eve!!!
nite dee
I live 50 feet from a lake with geese and ducks...a nice self watering stream outside my front door and a 15-min commute to work
night, Dee, hugs!
i'm good, ty, just 4 past halfway now.
thanks Dee enjoy your weekend as well!
sounds lovely, Pav. Canadian Geese, i'm guessing?
wtg dc; hugs rb nite just *poof*
Be well, Dee
and you dc
I'm sorry...with the dogs in tow, I've not been able to ask...
Brown geese or white geese?
unlike some of our two-legged winter vsitors with no wings...they live here year round...white geese with loud honkers...wonderful to see when they take off and land
petri dish: http://tinyurl.com/yg4s39j
thank you, BR, for the clarification :) Been a long time since i've needed to recall that, let alone use one
I think you may have been confused with Rob Petrie from the Mary Tyler Moore SHow...
i've friend w/surname Petrie, too
yes, ty, BR - I would have thought by now it would likely have passed into common usage, without the capital P, you know?
what is our theme this weekend?
i've no cue, pav
sand castles, but I'm enjoying my gold star so much I haven't changed it from logo night
how abot a clue then? tee hee! is there a smile somewhere in Babblelnad so I can rest...?
I'm kinda smiley, I got through with a load of grant application stuff today for my little library
just trying to fund my own job, lol!
well thank you for trying to be self-sufficient...our legislature wouldn't know what that means if we spoonfed them from a never ending trough...
it's muggy and humid and much warmer than predicted so far tonight.
it's been wonderful here at night lately 60's ...they say should continue for abit
it's still in the 70s here. was mid-80s today
I think I'll watch some Hulu.com and then finish tomorrow...
enjoy, pav
auck, our son took the PC away from me for a bit to look at jap bikes, ewwww! I wrested it away from him.
eek, did I use a non-pc term there? guess I could have said "crotch rockets", lol!
ah, yamahas. Honda bikes are superior
well, I think between my icon and the writeup to go with it, should be obvious where my preferences lie. :)
just read it. Very nifty, rbud
oh, sigh, down to 66, but have to go to bed - work tomorrow. G'nite, dc and anyone else around.
g'nite rbud
g'night rbud

except for the dur-brain du's
hi mr p
hi sunny :)
hi sunny and mrp
hi dcseain
hi dcs :)
how's early Spring so far for yall?
freezing... not happy with it
we had summer weather in September, and winter is back for October
coolish here too, not looking good for holiday next week
beach is not good when cold
we wanted to go to the beach house but will go to the farm instead, where we can sit infront of a bonfire
It's turned Summer again here with a vengeance, just as the trees are starting to turn. Normally, we're camping in New York state this weekend, but with the recent surgery, camping's not in the cards this year.
I used to live 3 blocks from beach in Boston. Snowy walks on the beach are rather calming and peaceful
how is everything going with the recovery?
du
hi KT :)
very well. He was tired and in a bit of pain today, but not all days are as easy as others during recovery, as you well know mrp
hi, Knight
poor bugger... love to you both as I know it affects you all
thanks :)
huh. Seems there's earthquakes near groovy
i better get ready for my presentation night out... this better be the last one of the year!!
according to her status in FB
there have been for the last month dcs
the pacific ring of fire is grumbling a lot lately. See you all later *poof*
i've never lived anywhere with regular quakes. Seems scary. Be well, mrp

Sorry I'm not saying much tonite...but... Rose, that sucks! (hugs)
yowza - now I have to look up arthrodesis

oh, so sorry, granny. hugs and a cup of tea
oh granny - triple hugs to you. rough time
just awful Rose, don't know what to say
I looked up arthrodesis - what bones did they fuse? was it for arthritis?
* smiling * thanx,it's going to be rougher for her hubby and 2 little girls
oh dear - how very sad for you and her family. Was it sudden?
kris, 2 bones on either side of my ankle, and a 4 inch screw, in from the top of my foot through to m heel

ty granny and lynxx
ty granny - I was close but couldn't get it
drugs and grief and still granny gives awesome clues
:-) Kris
wolvie, lost my dad to cancer as well.
lost my mom
sorry to hear that granny and kris
20 years ago for mom; several friends, too
jan 89 for my Dad - so 20 years here too. Still think about him tho. :-)
I still remember when Mom's best friend came to see her the last time. I'd been soldiering on nicely, but that made me break down
only years for my dad, he was diagnosed at the same time as my friend, but had left it too late
** 7 years
in some ways, they don't really leave us.
pretty recent then. tough go both at once
I chew just like my mom
this new keyboard is still driving me nuts. it misses letters and the space bar doesn't always work.
LOL - eh?
kris - that is so cute. I don't chew like either parent, since they both had or have false teeth.
mine, too, and my teeth are still the natural kind, but still
* giggling * the mind pictures are driving crazy
I have to be honest, I have no idea how my Dad chewed, per se. You must be pretty observant. ;-)
I am smiling too granny. Now I will have to see how kris chews someday.
some things just strike one...I have the same bump on my feet that my mom had, too
(all in fun Kris)
oh, good news, did you know i'm to be a granny for the second time?
always with my mouth closed, wolfie!
I have noticed that my feet and hands are evenly split between mom and dad. amazingly, I still have great balance
heh heh kris
ummm, i think that's your big toe, kris
No granny - congrats!
brb coffee refill
LOL!
* beaming here* next april.....
april is a lovely month to be born - I was born in april
what is april like where you are? warm, cool?
there you go then, beautiful month, beautiful people
so was I - april rocks!
awww
april is our autumn, where i live all the deciduous trees change colour, days are warm and sunny, nights cool
sounds perfect - about like October here
ahhh - it is spring time here - also beautiful time
march isn't such a bad month either!!!
march is crummy here. I always want it to be spring, but here it's still winter
where are you at in Massa kris?
brb, microwave just beeped
yes Wolvie
i mean where in Mass?
Watertown
Ot
ah. used to know that well
we are thinking of moving back to mass
sorry about ot - hands misplaced on keyboard
how long have you been away?
morning everyone
since 02
hi katie
good morning Katie
morning katie
you missed the Sox winning 2 world series
the world turned upside down
I still saw it kris - and i still follow the Pats. :-)
Shall I talk mass for you?
Bubblah
I bet it did. The bambino banished!
tawnic
no no - that is okay. :-)
drawring
bahston
The lawr offices of...
reveah
pee-bdy
lol - ah memories
pahk the cah... oh man - when i first moved to mass in 87, i grinned all the time
thought the accent was so cute
I grew up in the midwest, so the lingo is still a novelty
I moved here in 86
so did i - i grew up in Michigan
wow - just about the same time!
Indiana
Are you sure we don't know each other?
pretty close i'd say, and lol - no I am not!
i lived on the north shore and then 495 ish tho - lynnfield, then nahant, then finally uxbridge
nice
I came to be a nanny - lived on beacon hill, then in brookline, then allston and "out" to watertown
nahant was gorgeous - we had an oceanfront rental home on the protected side - could see miles of beach
It is really pretty over there.
ooh beacon hill. no parking but great shops.
yes, great walking
I did a lot of construction projects in the whole downtown area
you did construction? I'm impressed
lol, why?
probably with leggo bricks
because I can't hang an Ikea set of hooks on my wall
it is a job like any other - only difference is I owned my own company for a few years before I retired
lol, granny
leggos are good building blocks granny!
I can do legos :)
see? there you are
i see I am making no grid progress - going to dive in!
good luck!
having to learn all over again, number one grandson is nearly 2 years old
ty. :-)
can someone help me with the ri6 please?
musical term for slow down
thanks Kris!
faith, ri + ****y, being very slow
it starts with a brand of dye
granny, relearning legos?
had three sons and four brothers, guess it won't take me too long
if your grandkids are like my friends' kids, you won't get much of a chance to touch the legos
"play with me" - but if you add to their building, it's wrong
And if you build a separate thing, they need the bricks you're using
the main problem will be getting down onto the floor ( but getting back up will also be a challenge )
yes, I can see that will be tough. Are you slated for physical therapy when freed from the chair?
have you ever noticed? the older you become, the further away the floor is.
yes, indeed!
kris, have to go for hydrotherapy 4 times a week for the next 6 weeks
and the more incentive it takes to go up or downstairs
hydrotherapy sounds good - I hope it's helpful
missing one the ur5,12's - have the ones that end with something not common and what you do when you evaluate something
kris,that is why i won't live in a home with stairs.lived in such homes as a child, it was like an avalanche of things came down, but nobody would take them back up!!!!
faith, change the vowel ending
of the one with something ot common
ty granny!
* not *
why does my husband not know how to change the ink cartridge?
gm
that's a turn around, kris
hey kje
nevermind - why are we out of black ink?
good morning, kje
why why why - sounds like the 3 year old I was with last night...
hi kje
was the 3 yr old whining, too?
lol, kris
LOL - no, I think at that age it is called making conversation
:)
Well, I suppose I'd better get up and going or go back to bed. Anybody need a clue before I go?
no, just starting, but thanks.... and I vote for going back to bed
I'm good kris but thanks. Have a great day
you, too Wolfie - thanks everyone for the chat and the help!
{poof}
nearly bed-time here, so i will say good-night. happy babbling! see you at he flip
sleep well, granny
bye granny - sleep well
sorry for the hiccup, 'putor doing weird things
nearly bed-time here, so i will say good-night. happy babbling! see you at he flip
now, she is haunting us
;-)
pay back for all the mass words. really going this time.* poof*
good morning
hi sue
has anyone used 4fleas dog flea tablets?
no - I use frontline plus
for my dog. ;-0
getting too expensive
what - frontline? I get mine at Dr's Foster and Smith, sometimes Petmeds when they run a special
where do you buy yours sue?
I use Advocate - covers fleas and a lot of other things. Have just found ordering online is some 40% cheaper than buying thru a vet. Not sure if available in States
online sure saves me a bunch here - frontline plus does ticks , eggs, a whole bunch of stuff - there is another brand too - not sure if it is advocate or not
afro not a word????
nope. that bummed me out kje. I tried it a couple of times to be sure.
(sorry, apparently kris' whining was contagious)
enable has not seen my hair in high humidity, apparently
nor mine. :-)
sue - sorry if my joke piffed you off
no, puppy did. pooped in Wesleys room AFTER she went and pooped outside
eeeewwwww
it's not like I dont have a dog door available to the dogs and cats 24/7
oh no - i hate messes like that. Thankfully, the puppy will grow out of it
the talk about fleas likely spooked her...
lol
I have been shopping world wide, that is why I asked you all
this is the only place I can hear around the world in one question
ah. that is tr**. Babble is great for that
wolvie, I know your heart is good, you cant piss me off
it would be hippacritical of you
lol - ty sue - i just laughed at myself really after i saw that i used frontline plus.
have you used the frontline plus kits?
kits? oh - for cats? yes.
and dogs. they say it is the same med for all animals, the dosage is diff. so they sell the xlarge with a vial and sering. You dose to the size u need, getting upto 3 mths for a med dog out of one xlarge
vial and seringe? no - I use the topical stuff - usually buy a six pack at a time
is the seringe stuff cheaper then?
sometimes I love these pet talks, b/c I keep thinking how much I want a dog, then you guys remind me how much work they are
lol
much cheaper
once a month dose kje - not that big a deal. :-)
check out EBAY
watched chitty bang bang yesterday and now I want an english sheep dog
sorry KJE, it is well worth it
hmm - i will look into that sue - i didn't even know that was available
now that is a dog you have to work fo
POSH song! too funny - we were all on that yesterday
love chitty
they say they are lousy guard dogs though... everyone is a friend
unless you want to be vigilant, sometimes a very friendly dog is best. Depends on your habits. :-)
they also collect all kids sticky food in their hair
lets not start with comming in from the rain
well, don't want a mean one... but would be nice if it at least growled if someone broke in - LOL
how odd - tabacco has another name in this grid. ;-)
go with a red tipped hound or some kind of hound
very friendly, but they like to bark
I like bigger dogs, and non yappers
we**?
friendly dogs are different when they are alone - i know my collie is. He would take someone's leg off if they came in at the wrong time, or when we weren't here
funny - you think tobacco, I think featherbee
ta 7 sue - uses that we at the end
lol kje
my collie is a full size boy - 80 pounds. A bit smaller than my normal sheps, but still a big boy
ty wolvie
you think tobacco, I think pot
;-) sue
tobacco encompasses all for me. ;-0
the friends i was visiting last night have a little (no idea what it is really) but it barks at everything.... for a long time... everytime you blink at it - bark... makes me want to stick it in a closet
not getting ta7
sticky stuff plus the we
ta7 - cigarette low *** ingredient + pot
oh yeah kje - i hear you. I hate dogs like that
lol
I need a ur 5/12 for fw - i have the u plus hard to find, then the ur plus air rearranged, what one am i not monkeying?
we call those dogs....PUNT dogs
well, I was gonna say it made me want to drop kick it, but thought you guys might then recommend I was not dog owner ready
you are ready for a doggie kje - because you know what you want
we respect you know the difference between a dog and a PUNT
LOL sue
got it!
Fireworks
wanna clue it?
woohoo wolvie!!!!
I cant believe it, you ganna leave us now?
congrats
Congrats Wolvie!
u plus grade , say
duh, of course, TY!
most likely sue - I need to get going this morning - have to go to the store and such
funny.. ur 5 and go4 in the same grid
duh was what i said to myself - I am going to have to get a necklace or something with that on it. ;-0
made of ur5 crystals - LOL
medical day. ;-)
any clues before I head out?
go4 is caused by ur5 crystals
naw, I am going to look for coupons, today is shopping day
i thought that is what you meant kje thanks. :)
okay then folks - have a great babble day!
*poof*
bye wolvie
buy
it says you love the US
LOL sue
Good morning Babble friends. I had only 1 call during the night. 3 more nights of on call to go.
hi scrabbler
Funny response to a typo, Sue--I am still laughing
ooo - the catalan sheepdog is pretty - one looking for a home near here
lol
Are you getting a dog, kje?
maybe....
oooo - another interesting rescue nearby - a bernese mountain dog - look smart
I am stuck after 19 words---must await onset of caffeine effect
wow, that may be the cutest puppy ever made
Those are BIG dogs and beautiful
really big! would have to make sure that thing was trained well... doubt you could move the thing once full grown - LOL
can get up to 120 pounds!
It will move YOU on walks when it pulls on the leash
just gorgeous!
well, not if trained well, I guess, scrab... that is the key to big dog ownership
There are a pair in my parents' neighborhood---beautiful
Rain, rain go away.....ugh
what do you get when you cross an agnostic with an insomniac and a dyslexic?
morning, yawn
A dog?
hi feather
someone who lays awake all night thinking about dog
hi we4!!!
close, we4
Is Doug back yet?
a person who lays awake all night wondering if there is a dog
not yet, this coming friday
Is your voice coming back?
ehhhh
pppptttthhh!
wish i could stop the stupid cough. i think that's tearing my voice up as much as talking.
pbthththth yourself!
you need some codeine.. any codeine in the house?
errr, no, lol
took a mucinex. had some stuff move in my lungs this morning, thought maybe that would help. can't hurt.
no tylenol #3 hanging out??? what is wrong with you?
call Rush and see if he can spare some
Cold air, cold fluids, Feather...we put the little croupers on prednisone to decrease airway swelling
lol, strongest meds in this house are tylenol, advil, etc.
did the humidifier last night
daniel's blow drying his hair with a bubble blower
: )
i have meditation class this morning. really gonna suck if i get a coughing fit while everyone's meditating!
I hope he isn't using the bubble soap
nope. it actually kinda looks like a dryer. has a little fan on it, behind the bubble circle shape.
lozenger, we4, moisture helps a lot
or call your pcp and ask for some codeine
is that kath-speak for cough drops?
did i mispell it?
dunno, just hadn't seen it with an r on the end before
LOLOL
true, that was wrong
that 8 is fake
PB for you, kje--tr4
ok, i need to get in the shower while nick's still captive in the high chair and calm. laters!

Bye Feather
*think nick will have conquored the house by the time we4 is clean*
5 point harnesses are a wonderful invention

can't imagine it would taste like anything besides sugar
one reviewer said it tasted like pancakes with maple syrup LOL
I have never tasted candy corn that tasted like maple syrup!

looking at your last-fm in you profile. BTQ they are very good!
just checked TO, no idea where that came from, have never opened it up
that is interesting.
others have been using my computer but still don't understand how that could happen
well i was thinking rock on! ;)
timet omove on. happy babling to all! *poof*
lol TO, I don't know how to work this music thing - I love Il Divo,
f;osey, the eagles do not play heavy metal, despite their name. they are good, tho!
I think I've discovered the problem - there's already a flosey elsewhere - a young looking male
...and won't he have a surprise, Flosey! Weird.
prat
OH DEAR SORRY!
tsk
tsk tsk. But thanks.
LOL! It's always the insults or rude words that end up in the chog.
Geeze PB TWICE
Love your icon Jac!
good morning
good morning to you too Dorens! Foggy here.
grey wet and windy here
i swear that before noon today i will straighten up my very untidy kitchen, rather than spend the next two hours playing babble
autumn, don't we love it? Better than what's to follow. It's been very dry here; we just got an OK to outside burning piles.
burning leaves? one of my iconic and favorite smells of childhood and i miss it. we never can do it here. enjoy
will do for sure! But the leaves now mulch.
i have leaves galore... one of the problems of having 1/3 acre filled with tall oaks and beech trees... beech nuts and acorns litter my driveway now, and then more leaves than I could possibly deal with.
back for my last 23, maybe...hello everyone
well, i've made halfway mark and this is one of those grids hat is just staring at me and not giving me any easy words right now. hard to believe i'll find 70 more. hi annie!
hi dorens, this grid does not flfow
*flow
that is gr**ifying to hear-- thought it was me
dorens, it can never be
you are too kind... but sometimes i can be dense... amd i often need to catch clues for the big words... they rarely jump at me
Annie... do you have any way to get out here next saturday? owl, scrabbler, jbv, nrkii and mymuse are coming to my house for a babblefest
mymuse lives in manhattan, and is driving... maybe you could somehow hook up with her? it would be so great to have you join us
dorens, that sounds wonderful but I am sorry but that is too hard for me.
yah, i was afraid of that. wish we could spirit you out here though.
morning all! can anyone clue the corner R or the right corner E?
dorens, great group.
sorry dan, don't have them. but I am most def going to list now!
yes annie, i can hardly wait! so exciting
Dorens, your place must look and smell wonderful!
i am very fortunate saanichat.. it is a wonderful spot and i'm lucky to have it -- just need to pick up the mess from time to time
right corner E is the old needlecase
oh duh tx saanic
dorens, I have a wedding in New Jersey in November and I am driving to my sister in law and my nephew will bring me to the hotel and chauffer me around. I was a fearless traveler but, alas, no more. Manhattan and places very familiar is as far as my driving goes now.
Dr4!!!!!!
that is understandable annie... my mom is driving less now too, and I'm sure it will happen to me. where is the wedding? (if it were nearby I'd drive over just to come in and meet you for a minute)
ty for the e
dr4 was in the other day. past tense of artistic activity
dorens, Aberdeen (never heard of the place)
lol, sounds like scotland to me... must be in southern nj
I have no idea...New Jersey is a mystery to me
re+ term of affectiion = re6
oh thanks, dorens
opened lickety and it is certainly flowing nicely now
re - anagram of a rush
got it tx dorens and saanic
petri?? dish...is it capitalized?
guess it's a proper noun, didn't know that though
phone, later
unbelievable -- lickety got me down to 30 that fast!
later, annie
also apparently gouda
good riddance D's
you inspired me, dan. thanks. done with d's here too
hah! dan and doren are done with d
definitely!
ok, the o's are over
R's repelled
same here... and the t's tumbled
down to 8 and time for a break... good luck dan... see you all later
ciao dorens - down to 6
2 P's left
TR8 and IT7 are keeping me from the explosion of fireworks 8( Time to turn to the chat and ask for help. Help,please.
it7 repeat
ty
tr8 sounds like the feared IRS man
firewords! Pe6 chicken brand was my last
swap: tr**e + newspaper honcho: ed****
mmm.....I need to think, think, think.
congrats, dan
WTG! dan2bit.
BabbleRabble, ty for dumbing it down for me. I'm finished.
off to meet my niece & nephew at natural history museum - catch everybody tomorrow!
woo hoo gramma *poof*
congrats, gramma
enjoy, dan
Before I move along, anybody need a clue?
BabbleRabble, I just read the cheery bit in your profile. I'm now sooo depressed I think I'll overdose on one of my many prescription meds. Oh wait the dementia has made me forget where I put them. Maybe I'll ask the grandkids. Yikes!
Bye everyone Enjoy!

Morning everyone. How are you all today? I woke up to snow this AM myself! It's less than 1/2 inch and is now only in the shade, but what a surprise that was!
I listed at half way through and it's a little easier
Morning Nef, cold here today but no snow, freeze though tonight

tevye sang about tr****i*n, jnv
and the word ends with name of frequent babbler ***gone
or tr + ad4 + either **
sorry jbv.. i didn't mean jnv. but do the clues work?
oh, thanks, I got the tr 8, sorry I was doing a few other things at the same time
hi dorens
if someone had just sayed it meant traitor in Italian, I would have gotten it right away!
sayed? oh dear, remembering Italian, forgetting ENglish
hah! wish i could have said it in italian... a language i've never studied, but would like to learn someday
i'm down to three. but out to get a few errands done. have a good day, jbv, and looking forward to next week!
I am now challenging myself, just got back from my Saturday Chinese class - quite a stretch for me
me, too dorens, can't wait til Saturday!
i am back. Has anyone seen Montroal in the chog? I notice he is online, but posts no messages here.
hi inge, nope, haven't seen him for a while
it is almost like Crossy took his place
like Superman and Clark Kent - never see them both at the same time
I know some babblers dont speak anymore, because they were offended by someone or some topic. but Montreal???????????????????
Leaving now. Will check for crossy later.
howdy everyone;)
hello, Crossy,Jbv & Inge
howdy zooz
are you any better Crossy?.
yup,back to as normal as i ever get;))
oh that is good, pleased for you, not nice being unwell.
seems rather quiet in the chog today.
afternoon all
just starting,trying to figure out if there are any actual words in this grid;/
hello Featherbee :-)
howdy feather
not liking the P words so far
hello again everybody. When I posted earlier, my son and his family came in so I've been playing withmy 5 month old grandson. Now they are gone again
there are p words? lol
oh, fun nef
hello, Nef :-)
yes i have not found one yet Bee
one means small
another means perky
another makes me think of a boarding school annoying kid
hi zooz, crossy, and feather. I wasn't here for over an hour, but read the responses to my earlier post. Very slow chog today
ahh i see them , thanks, one also means idiot
thats the same one then..lol
yup!
one is a type of fall too
same one!
anyone know what the upper right E is?
the old needlecse
i know it is an er5, but do not know what it is
*case
ah, thanks
oh i just found an ex6
ty zoo, found it
yw
Hello kids. Done with work + shopping.
hey scrabs
Hello Scrabs!
scwabby!
Good evening everyone.
hi elder
howdy elder
Hello Elder!
How is everyone today?.
i`m good thanks , hope you are well.
I guess I'm flakey. I keep wandering off!
lower left E help please?
ew4
money, feather
Nef chocolate may help:)
Zoozz fine here .
shoot, i'm sorry. typo. i meant lower left R help please
also eu4 which is the money clue
oh, didn't have that eu yet! cool
backside re4
although that might not be the bottom right `r`1 so forget that one..lol
nope, not that, i already have that
Still looking for ex6. Hi Cwossy! Are you and your wife all better from the flu?
I found ex6!
i'm using babble ex6 scrabbler
it is what you can ask lickety for, so you can use it when you are a pro
man i am so lsoooow at giving clues today, sorry all.
yup all better,wen in to dr on a unrelated matter after day 9 of it,and he confirmed piggy flu..but we are all fine now;)
I need that corner L r too
Good, Crossy. May you dodge the germs this winter.
how about to marry again
nope, but thanks
shoot
np scwabby im usually only good for 1 every 2 years anyways
That lower R must be an re word, but I haven't found one that the grid likes so far
it is either an re4 or an re6 then
good morning ! a little beatles to help me knock out this grid....
got it!
it's a fish. one who looks at books.
Cross--question about my shower project. I went to replace the 72 tiles last night (8 x 9 tiles) and cannot fit in the last 2 on the top row! I think it is due to residual gr5 on some tiles. I need about 1-2 mm removed from the tiles and Lowe's won't do less than 2 inches...can I file off the amount to get the tiles to fit?
tushie
lol, hello Crista
oh, lol, no it isn't. wait....
hello Chista.
Hi Christa
it's an anagram of one who looks at books. or to call someone honey again.
TY, Feather--odd word
i'd try it scrabs.
scrabby they sell a nifty gadget no house should be without,and it is just for this problem,its called a drummel tool,and with it you can either cut or shave down the tile your putting in,or trim the tiles that are already up;0
A Dremel?
that's really a dumb word. They don't accept rerate; but they accept THAT?
off to other things. bbl.
OK, so I can solve this problem then. I was nearly crying last evening because I wanted to complete the work last night and do the grout today.
yes indeed
Bye feather
comes with a whole bunch of different tips for different aplications
Then I dropped tiles when I tried to squeeze some in--broke 4-5....
Bye for now featherbee.
you can use it for furniture stripping,cutting metal,removing old gr 5/16
I returned to Lowe's after work today to buy more tiles--fortunately they cost just $0.16 each
I love my Dremel. The kids do too so I have to hide it (it's in my clothes closet in a shoe box).
nef knows.it does a million things;)
TY, Cross & Nef!
Scrabbler, so frustrating when your trying to finish a task/job.
should be around 30-40 dollars
but you will use it for everything!!
Yes, I was optimistic and feeling smug as I applied adhesive and then placed each tile row by row then get to the last 2 and no room!
Scrabs, it's the handiest little tool you can own. I had a spoon in the disposer and my Dremel fixed the roughness of the spoon so it's still useable
I told myself, "Don't cry, you can solve this problem."
I have some spoons with that problem
I would have wept through frustration.
I think my Dremel was around $50-60; but it has so any attachments that I haven't used yet (and I've had it for several years)
I was close, Elder, as I was tired and on call too, and messy with adhesive on my hands, dropping and cracking tiles
you will love it for refinishing old chairs erc
Yay, this project will ultimately be successful.
{{{Scrabs}}} that's when it's hard. So close and yet so hard to finish
but a 3 minute go on that old gr 5/16 and yer done;))
I can picture the scene Scrabs. poor you, but how please when you finish the job, with the new tool to help.
yep!
I was sad this morning, looking at 70 tiles in place with 2 missing slots
Boy, I am finding well-hidden words now--sneaky grid.
run out to Knox, buy the basic Dremel with less than 20 attachments and you will be done in no time (you will not need the 100 or so tips. Honest)
brb, gotta help DH
I live 8 miles from town so will go to Lowe's tomorrow.
you ladies can also use it to buff your nails;))))))
thanks crosshair
Ideas, Cross!
cross, a man for all seasons and reasons:)
wont need emery boards lol
Scrabs.. wait for it ... can this tool be used in your job ?.
flad you almost finished scrabbs
NBT finally and 70 left. BBL, sister is coming down to spend the weekend. Time to change out of work clothes.
actually she could,she could use it to drill pilot hole for pins used in bone repair lol
Have fun with your sister Scrabs .
Cross, I knew you would have a use for Scrabs at work.\:)
cutting those casts off...
stirring your potions in your compounding lab...
getting rid of that pesky tooth plaque
doing the rabbits nails
Cross, you make me giggle .
crossy makes all the ladies giggle;))..ouch! wife saw that..;/
lol...
oops biab...poof
back.
WB Nef.
thanks elder. How are you doing on this grid today? I've only found 30 words, but haven't really gotten into it yet (too many distractions
Nef.. was on earlier so not to bad initially, but seem to have the wall .
I just realized I haven't even reached NBTs yet. Need to work on that at least!
keep going Nef many of the words appear to be sneakily hidden .
rote
Ooops! Sorry
how many words?
:) forgiven.
142 stef
Hello Stef.
sorry was watching `tv burp`..still got 44 more words to find.
teeth pulling, then :)
could I have a clue for either the lower right G or P please?
lol, yes kind of.
just the lower R G now for NBTs
sorry Nef, not got that one yet.
it is a ga4 i know that much
okay. I'm still trying to find it. will clue if I get one
Ga4/8 showy trinket etc.
ga4/7 same word just change the last con.
thanks elder got both :-)
Thnks. And a ga4/7 is a large wild ox
gaud4/8 lots of bangles etc.. over the top perhaps
good afternoon, folks
oh is it. ?
hello Takuma.
(I kept trying for longer words. Should know better)
Hello, Tak
hi Taku
The 'is it' was answering Nef word meaning.
Spent ages trying to find f word and had it ..
that's frustrating, isn't it?
well there are 14 of them :-)
such a waste of time. When I should be looking for other words :)
from the stupid words I've just found, I'm going to guess that there aren't any more *normal* words left!
hi, folks, 22 left
Shouldn't bet on that Nef.
Hello Peri.
Hello , Peri
okay. Thanks for the advise, elder.
Go, Peri!
The words in this grid seem to be well-adjusted
Babble, I thought a messy grid .
Hello, BabbleRabble
BR, are we looking at the same grid?
Hello everybody. Not sure whether to dive in....
hi Soodle
Hello Soodle, go on...you know you want to :-)
Hello, folks
Soodle Hello go for it.
Hello again Babble.
Baby Boomer Blues :-)
shucks yeah! Miserable Saturday night here, not much else to be doing!!
11
Hello, BR
wow you got 10 of those words fast there, Peri.#
WTG, peri! Did you take a break to see new words?
yes
You singing the blues, Zooz, or is there something afoot?
Soodle, BR`s profile :-)
ta7 pls
Babble there are days when I feel I am more than half way there to medial ailments etc.:)
love your icon, zooz
Rofl!!! Baby Boomers indeed!! Usually BR's profile is uplifting and inspirational. Todays is ....well, like the ghost of Christmas yet to come in A Christmas Carol. A sneaky-peek into the (not too distant) future> lol
Peri ta* stuff on the roads and a flower not wanted in someone's garden.
Thanks Peri, thats how i feel about my computer at times. :-)
I do have a problem with some of the complaints about us Boomers. There are so many sites that say we're going to be a drain on the country's resources, but they refuse to acknowledge that we are the healthiest soon to be elders ever.
thanks elder
Nef and all the contributions and taxes we have paid and continue to pay .
yes and they didn't mind taking my tax money for the last 43 years either
Peri. You are welcome.
hello Ruru.. Quite..
Hi Ruru
and.....fireworks
Well done Peri.
Well done, Peri!!
tyty, now off to read and then play scramble, happy babbling all
YAY, Peri! WTG!!!!!
WTG Peri
Finished.. Happy to give clues.
Bye for now Peri.
Well done Elder!
And I believe that Gen Y is just as large a population as the Boomers are too, isn't it?
WTG, elder!!!! YAY!!!!!
YAY elder!
Gen Y?
hello all!
Hello, Stid
Hey there Stid :)
Hello Stid nice to see you.. how is the education going?
hi stid. How are you today?
ok will be on my way. Enjoy the grid. Bye everyone.
its going, elder -- was very un-nerved by one of the teacher's lack of clarity in expectations, and had a stern talking to him yesterday. He assures me that I am doing okay and that he will be clear with me if I seem to have trouble.
bye elder! (((hugs))) enjoy your evening!
Yes, Soodle, Gen Y is 70 million people born between 1980 and 1995 I believe
Oh My!! I am personally responsible for 3 of those creatures!! LOL
well soodle, you for three, me for two. that's just a drop in the bucket!
I have called them lots of things in the past, but never Gen Y. Thats a new one for my repetoire!!
I'll claim responsibility for one and also 1 Gen X myself.
Some sites call them Gen Me also. ;-)
By all accounts, there is another baby boom in this country! Birth rates have shot up. There is speculation that people have less disposable income, so they are not going out to socialise. They stay in, and bingo - Baby Boom!!
oh man... and with employment dropping. that is not a good sign! though Mother did say the Irish babies were just about the sweetest she had ever seen (aside from her own grandchildren)
LOL. If ever there was a false economy. "lets stay in tonite, darling?" Nine months later - a whole lot more expense lands. Something very wrong somewhere!
have you seen Mother since she got home, Soodle?
I work in a pregnancy resource center (I'm nurse manager of the prenatal program) and we've seen a large drop in the number of pregnant women coming to us for the past 6 months. I was surprised by that because I really expected the opposite
ri 6 please
is it possible people are actually thinking ahead a little? It would be interesting to know if that is true nation-wide.
hello ruru
Stid - it is uncanny. I always just seem to see her good-byes as I log on. But one of these days, we will catch up! For what its worth, my email is medickinson@eircom.net, if you think she would like to get in touch.
you want a musical term meaning slow down, ruru
sorry, ruru, I don't have it.
and thanks for pointing it out!
I am almost up to halfway...
thank you stid
thanks Soodle!
brb phone
Nef, thats very interesting. What a lovely job to have - most of the time!!
tr 8 is my last anyone have it?
It was Mother! LOL I told her I will send your email on.
go ruru go!!!!

*sends coracle to soodles*
Thank you stid!{{{}}}}
any time, soodles.
I never had fried green tomatoes. Just know the film.. I really enjoyed it
I am not fond of fried green tomatoes...
the film was good, someday I want to peruse the book!
well, I passed halfway. Tom is going to make me some lunch because I feel yucky. I am glad I have a day to just rest this weekend.
I'll be back later to attempt getting no blank tiles.
see you-all soon! *poof*
See ya later Stid. Hope you feel unyucky soon!
bye stid. Take care of yourself
DH made some fried green tomatoes and they were heavenly! I wonder if certain tomatoes are better in them than others?
(phantom: parade)
Nef - are they just unripe tomatoes, or is there a particular type of tomato which just stays green. sorry to be such a tomato nerd!
they are unripe tomatoes (the way DH made them, anyway). He used a bunch of our heirloom tomaotes
Heirloom tomatoes are so much tastier than the hybrid varieties
Heirloom tomatoes. I am soooo provincial. I dont know what they are. I just know tomatoes grow on vines, and they taste nice.
Soodle, heirloom tomatoes are varieties that are grown from seeds passed down from older varieties and have bumps or different appearances than what you see in the market. Hybrids are beautiful, but often taqsteless
Big Boy tomaotes are hybrids; they make big beautiful red round tomatoes but don't always taste as tomatoey as you would expect them too
Now I know what your talking about! The tomatoes you buy in a supermarket taste like ....nothing. Home grown actually taste like ....well, tomatoes!
Yep! This summer we planted Green Zebras, Cherokee, Amish Pulp, Purple Prince and I forget what other heirlooms we have. We also planted a few hybrids, but I much prefer the heirlooms
Is the chog broken, or did the tomatoes kill it?
oohh, we had purple princes at out local market this summer and they were delish!
amazingly sweet!
I see a new movie....Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes.....
omg, i have 2 left and didn't even realise i was that close
Erm. I hate to break the deafening silence but any clues for the GR 5/16, please
white stuff between wall tiles
Thanks Jac!!
np
do you habe the au7?
yes, jacq, but thanks for asking
I do!! Its au + a prefix that means do again, + eaten
BabbleRabble. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!!!! LOL
smiles, you are a gem ty, i was just fiddling with adding letters in the middle
lol, thanks BR
You are too cheeky, BR
i like sarcasm lol
Bugsaw! What a lovely profile pic. You must be very very proud of your dad!
I shall henceforth endeavor to keep the cheeks in proper dimension
lol
Keep the cheeks in dimension, BabbleRabble, and the tongue out of them, please!!!!
LOL
Thanks Soodle. This is our Thanksgiving weekend when we are supposed to express gratitude for what we have. I had my Dad longer than most, but I still miss celebrating his birthday with him.
Any snow, Bugsaw?
sorry for your loss bug, and it is a very nice pic, he looks like a good honest man
INteresting stuff again today BR. Did you hear that there is now thot to be a relation to depression and alzheimers? That could prove to be a double whammy!
Well, may he rest in peace, and may he enjoy the celebrations being held in his honour!
No snow for us BR. I live close to where the winter Olympics are set for February and I bet there won't be much. El NIno year.
For sure.
Thanks Soodle. He has an identical twin brother who is still lving so it helped to be able to buy a card anyway.
He was a terrific man and a gentle father. Good qualifications if you ask me.
Dads are the best!
excellent qualifications bug, everyone should have a dad like him
I always feel so badly for people who have lousy ones.
we get over it bug lol
There is a correlation between who a person was and how much he or she is missed.
That is true BR. My first life mentor died in 1993 and I still miss her gentle presence.
there is, we don't miss my father, but we would dearly miss our step-dad (dad) and he had only been with us for 10 years
My dad is 82, and if he was a horse, they would have shot him years ago, he has that many complaints. But, thankfully, he is not a horse!!
can someone please clue the ri6, i have tried everything i can think of
I am glad you got a good one eventually jacq.
LOL Soodle!
we did, and we are lucky, pity he wasn't the first one lol
ri is a musical term for slow down. It is in the reverse dictionary
ri6 ... ri + black sticky stuff + consonant.
reverse dictionary? is this like that morewords everybody keeps speaking about
and hi everyone.
Equally bewildered, Jac!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
got it ty
and fireworks!!!!
I am not sure but if you get Babble Expert from Lickety (it is free, just email him for the link), there is a box called Resources and in there is a reverse dictionary button. Just type in key words for the definition and it will show a buch of possible words.
ty mo and bug
Well done Jacq! This one is taking me too long.
yw jacq.
i went to the list with 36 left and it was still hard
i have expert and have had it for weeks, only found out yesterday that it has its own list at the side
i had to pull the bar aside, and hey presto lol
the list at the side is why I like it. When I decide to use it I don't have to keep flipping pages around
Oh well done, Jac
well i was wondering why everybody raved about it lol, i had buttons up top that didn't seem to do anything and it seemed no different from normal lol
ty ty ty
does anybody need any clues before i go?
congrats, jacq
Bugsaw, if your still online, you may be sure that your Dad is taking bows in heaven!!
just read back in the chog ..... and I must add that my dad was one of the "best" too.
ty BR

screen resolution, probably
is it a PC?
or a MAC?

Yes, PC
that is just wild, it was 97 here today, just about killed me.
it's 31°F right now. this morning when i went to work it was 7
okay, go to START (bottom left) and choose Control Panel... then Display... then Settings
maybe we can get Obama to spread the warm weather like he wants to spread the wealth
change the aspect ratio or resolution and you will be able to increase the size of everything
Inge - just picked up your clue. TYVM
Good
inge you can have a great deal of this warm weather...we are having a lot of trouble dealing with this heat...
LBD, that I could not deal with though I would take a little bit f the chill right now. You are wearing sweaters...

ti + first three letters of that te word i clued
yay lbd - glad I could help!
only 3 ti words
the second ti means the same thing, invert the last two letters
gotta go wake up hubby, bbl to chat and clue., thanks again, Nrkii!

Hi, Scrabs! Just got here myself, have 60 left from last night.
Hi rbud. 64 to go for me--challenging grid.
Am scanning back chat for clues, too early for me to list.
Do you have the last 3 au words by any chance?
how many are there? I have au 4, 5, 6
hi there
au 4 = a glow around someone/thing, 5 = latin pl, and same word with one more consonant to make an ending of "to eat" (past tense) for 6.
au 5/12 au + barely cooked steak
Hi, JBV!

TY, JBV. A's are done
i'm so jealous!!
How far away do you live?

Back--emergency diaper rash. And I hiccupped through the phone call--still hiccupping now
ti5/10 the one for the 't' in the top row right?
Please
hi scrabs
desitin a little dab will do you
desitin will be so debenaire
desitin -- diaper rash won't pursue you
if you put a little on your derriere
That's what I told the Gramma but she said "The baby cries when we try to change the diaper.". Yep, things are tough with 12 mo olds but you do them anyway
well you'd cry too if your butt hurt that much
Sorry got all the ti's
oops, I drifted off without saying Gute Nacht. Night, all ye babblers. Bis morgen
bye inge
Gute Nacht, Inge!
As I said, JM, this was a diaper rash "emergency". The EMTs should be arriving soon.
And I finished the grid. This one was tough + annoying.

night inge
I am really sorry for a tyke to be that unhappy
hi all
hi TO
hi TO
I am joking, jm. Gramma is doing everything right and feels bad to have the kid cry, so I told her to keep doing what she's doing
whooooo hoooooo SCRABS!!!
:-P I was feeling all guilty! lol

yahoo scrabs!
At times this grid really pissed me off

Sis is an attorney and hates spending extra time in front of a computer
She is reading a law book as we speak, while we watch the Sabres' hockey game
ahh, but we're not just a computer game! we're phambly
hmm seems there is an attorney or two playing here *looks in mirror*
i think i'd rather play babble.
brb, need to get some hot tea
LOL, dawger. Neither of my sister are into Babble, computer games etc
Yet when I play an odd word in Scrabble vs the youngest sister she asks how I know the word and I say, "I learned it in Babble."
I say that too scrabs and my sister rolls her eyes
she used to challenge me, but I already had a leg up because of crossword puzzles
Mine too---I played EYRA 2 days ago and she said "What kind of word is EYRA?"
on the other hand I went a halloween party in a white dress with paper flowers all over it
I went as an incarnation
everyone asked why not a reincarnation and I said
I didn't know how to dress up as an australian sandpiper

Here is a trivia question to all the vast resources in babble land, Does any one recall a sitcom in the early 90's (guessing) that was about an in home daycare run bye the dad, and some of us think the mom was a lawyer, played by one of the actresses in Desiigning Women, possibly named Annie ( being the acrtess)
gee can you say any word now on cable?
Sorry for just jumping in randomly
Daddio was a short-lived television series that aired in March 2000 on ABC. It chronicled the life of a stay-at-home dad, his lawyer wife, and their two kids.[13]
thank god for wiki
Ok jmc ty and we will check that out , it sounds ffamiliar
I never am sure how to search those vague ideas LOL
But some of us think this show was earlier and was an NBC show
i googled sitcom stay at home dad lawyer wife
well if you are sure it is jean smart you can try a history of her career
Wow I dont google alot, but thought it was more specific
No not Jean Smart , sure of that
try jean smart at www.inmdb.com
It was the little short curly headed girl on desighning women

i need cooking help here - anyone ever make tukey italian sausage?
i am holdingyou in the Light as well (quaker speak for praying for you)
from scratch?
jmcnrick. doesn't matter who or how, just the good wishes help
i am coking turkey sausage and have roasted it at 425 for an hour.
and i need to now if that is enough
that is a pretty long time
bad enough that i want to eat it and it is so late
if it were veal sausage i would roast it that long. need to get the potatoes roasted, they take a while
well if it is long enough for veal then it is long enough for turkey
ok i give, i will just have to eat it to know for sure. thyey tried to sell me chicken sausage but the thought gags me. i miss my veal sausage
so why didn't you get veal sausage?
there is none in this god forsaken suburb. i will stock up when i go to nj
ok, TO, i think i am going to be very, very, jealous. where did you shop?
that is a sad story TO
for which?
sausage? every time i go to PHL, i always go to the Italian Market. miss it so much.
i am sure i could get in in south philly but it's too far to go
are you far outside the city?
Another TV sitcom possibility - Day by Day - NBC, 1988 - 1989: "The show centered around a married couple with successful careers (he as a stockbroker, she as a lawyer) and a teenage son. After the couple had a second child, they decided to quit their jobs and open a day care center in their home. The episodes mixed stories about the day care center with those about the teenager and his friends. Louis-Dreyfus played a materialistic neighbor, while Thorne-Smith played the baby's nanny."
12 miles from lawndale
ahhhhhhh. not close. sorry
joey, can you get italian sausage where you are? i mean authentic?
ok for anyone who cares I figured it out and the trivia answer was Day by Day

well joey needs a care package!
good thoughts to you joey
however, there is a chain of cheesesteak places where i can get not only a good cheesesteak, but also tasty kakes and PA Dutch birch beer

is it nice in MT?
for a polar bear
it was nice here but there were races for cure, demonstrations and subway repairs
we're catching an arctic express right now. nasty cold
race for the cure, that's a great cause.
more of the same for tomorrow
brrr I am glad I live fairly far south
only thing racing here is my furnace.
there were hundreds of the Komen race for the cure including bikers in drag
we normally don't get the cold this early. it's done a number on the tree limbs
don't usually have a race up here, down by Harp, they usually have one.
the race reached DC today, JMC?
hi DC
hi, dawg :)
it was at dupont circle yesterday and bethesda today
hi dc
back in a few.
Hello all. How are you doing tonight?
hi, nef :) well, ty. and you?
hi nef
Hi seain. How's Tom doing today?
hi Neffie
alright, though his brother annoyed him today. LOL Bro called to ask of car was working, and why he wasn't at his parents - apparently bro is visiting.
i'd offered to take him there today, but he's not been up for dealing.
My grandson has been here tonight. Poor little tyke isn't feeling well; has colic. Wore his Grandma out (wanted me to hold him and be up walking the past 5 hours!)
hi lbd. more cold weather heading our way I hear?
oh, my. glad that you survived
well at least it is good exercise nef
poor gramma nef. cold and colder. suppose to warm up by friday tho.
Nef. Have you tryed swaddling the bub and belly massage and lavender scented bath ? You can get this Johnston and Johnston stuff now
I survived, my foot isn't happy though. I can't be up on my foot for that long. I ended up kneeling on a rolling chair with my left leg while pacing in the kitchen and dining room
poor nef
not much you can do about colic. patience and in your case rolling furniture
it's okay. The little kid is sick, not me.
I'm just -creative?
very creative -- the rolling chair was clever
Poor Nef. oh and my friend says Baby Einstein soothes the savage beast too.
I guess they tried some different formula on him today. He's being weaned off the breast milk so mom can take psychotropic drugs
that would be good if she needs them
Um with Formulas it may be a case of hit and miss. Some times babies can't handle ''milk '' and need soy stuff. Its hard as they can't say YUKKY this hurts my tummy
Get more snow, lbd?
Oh, she most certainly does!
just more cold, br
Hello to those I missed to.
I know, herin. My son (his Dad) had lactose intolerance and was on soy til he was 7 years old
alas my de4 friends, i must head for the pillows. see you all tomorrow!
hey, BR, did you notice that Fargo is in the grid today and it isn't a WORD?
It sucks poor kid
be well, lbd

Ducks won again
Thanks, Babble Rabble and Dorens. Good luck to everyone....See y'all tomorrow.
oh the music was fun last night... i was here for some of it... it started with someone discussing the 70's, and I made a disparaging remark about 70's = disco, and then we started to name the music from the 70's that we did like... is that what you mean, j?
they we4 just so wrapped up in giving each other music links that I got fireworks and they never saw at all
feather and I got quite silly trying to get them to notice!
jac is always like that wit hmusic :)
YEAH DUCKS!!!!
congrats, gapeach, be well
Only 3 computers with all of you there? Sounds like a good reason to start an arguement
saw some of the game, Br; but didn't see the finish...
I think the score was 34-10 right?
right... i got off track with the music. that youtube can sure take up a lot of my time
(don't even know who the ducks are-- is that really a team? baseball? football?)
pe 6 is the name of the largest university in Indiana ... at West Lafayette
Uni football, dorens
goeducks?
well i have an imac and an ibook. scrabs said she'd bring a notebook... don't know if anyone else will be carrying

One of Oregon's uni's is the ducks.

delovely
a few babblets in the d's, nothing too outrageous-a couple of unusual dU's
Oh, great! Now that my son and DIL have baby home, they say he is puking and dehydrated and "what did you feed him? We need to take him to the ER!" Poor baby wouldn't eat anything here
hmm sound like scrabs customers
UO Ducks; OSU Beavers * grin * I'm a duck :) quack quack
not your fault nef
sorry but I reject the quacking goeducks
oh no...sorry to hear Nef!
The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
<-- doesn't like geoducks either
I know it's not my fault; they brought him over sick (telling me to watch his temp) and poor baby wouldn't eat anything while they went to a movie and got lost
oh, hope all is well..
I like the clams not the ones with the duck heads
ok babrab, i am trying and have no clever ideas.. what is it?
We know that, Nef...and they should know that, too...sometimes babies just "experience" stuff!
