hi rbud...

12:56 am

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...

12:56 am

being a sociopath is not as easy as it seems, PAV...trust me, I know!

12:57 am

perhaps...does it pay well?

12:57 am

lol, dan! - and sounds like you may have a story to go with that, PAV?

12:57 am

not around here it doesn't

1:06 am

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" ...

1:08 am

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...

1:09 am

sorry for the burp...

1:09 am

oh, that's awful, PAV - so you think you tagged one of her "friends"? (good for you!)

1:09 am

agree with rbud. she should instruct her guests as to how to park properly

1:09 am

I took the pics and sent them in to the property manager as proof...so I'm through being nice...

1:10 am

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!

1:11 am

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...

1:12 am

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.

1:14 am

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.

1:14 am

speaking generally, of course, people are such aholes

1:14 am

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...

1:15 am

perdon...she was underage, he was just barely legal...

1:15 am

icky, PAV

1:16 am

hmmm, isn't "petri" a word? a dish?

1:16 am

Petri is a proper noun

1:16 am

aha, mighta known

was the dish petri or petrie?

1:17 am

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...

1:17 am

Petrie dish

that looks right dc

fireworks

1:18 am

congrats, dee :)

1:18 am

I have roughly two years left on my self imposed sentencing to live in my first home for ten years....

1:18 am

wow, PAV, you really do live in a choice spot!

1:18 am

yay Dee!

1:18 am

wtg dee!

1:19 am

yay, Dee!!!

1:19 am

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?

1:19 am

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!!!

1:21 am

nite dee

1:21 am

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

1:21 am

night, Dee, hugs!

1:21 am

i'm good, ty, just 4 past halfway now.

1:21 am

thanks Dee enjoy your weekend as well!

1:21 am

wtg dc; hugs rb nite just *poof*

1:21 am

Be well, Dee

and you dc

1:21 am

I'm sorry...with the dogs in tow, I've not been able to ask...

1:22 am

Brown geese or white geese?

1:23 am

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

1:23 am

petri dish: http://tinyurl.com/yg4s39j

1:24 am

thank you, BR, for the clarification :) Been a long time since i've needed to recall that, let alone use one

1:25 am

I think you may have been confused with Rob Petrie from the Mary Tyler Moore SHow...

1:25 am

i've friend w/surname Petrie, too

1:25 am

yes, ty, BR - I would have thought by now it would likely have passed into common usage, without the capital P, you know?

1:26 am

what is our theme this weekend?

1:26 am

i've no cue, pav

1:27 am

sand castles, but I'm enjoying my gold star so much I haven't changed it from logo night

1:27 am

how abot a clue then? tee hee! is there a smile somewhere in Babblelnad so I can rest...?

1:28 am

I'm kinda smiley, I got through with a load of grant application stuff today for my little library

1:29 am

just trying to fund my own job, lol!

1:30 am

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...

1:31 am

it's muggy and humid and much warmer than predicted so far tonight.

1:32 am

it's been wonderful here at night lately 60's ...they say should continue for abit

1:33 am

it's still in the 70s here. was mid-80s today

1:35 am

I think I'll watch some Hulu.com and then finish tomorrow...

1:35 am

enjoy, pav

1:43 am

auck, our son took the PC away from me for a bit to look at jap bikes, ewwww! I wrested it away from him.

1:45 am

eek, did I use a non-pc term there? guess I could have said "crotch rockets", lol!

1:51 am

ah, yamahas. Honda bikes are superior

1:53 am

well, I think between my icon and the writeup to go with it, should be obvious where my preferences lie. :)

1:56 am

just read it. Very nifty, rbud

2:14 am

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.

2:15 am

jan 89 for my Dad - so 20 years here too. Still think about him tho. :-)

4:57 am

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

4:57 am

only years for my dad, he was diagnosed at the same time as my friend, but had left it too late

4:57 am

** 7 years

4:58 am

4:58 am

pretty recent then. tough go both at once

4:58 am

4:58 am

this new keyboard is still driving me nuts. it misses letters and the space bar doesn't always work.

4:58 am

LOL - eh?

4:59 am

kris - that is so cute. I don't chew like either parent, since they both had or have false teeth.

5:00 am

mine, too, and my teeth are still the natural kind, but still

5:00 am

* giggling * the mind pictures are driving crazy

5:00 am

I have to be honest, I have no idea how my Dad chewed, per se. You must be pretty observant. ;-)

5:01 am

I am smiling too granny. Now I will have to see how kris chews someday.

5:01 am

some things just strike one...I have the same bump on my feet that my mom had, too

5:01 am

5:12 am

Shall I talk mass for you?

5:12 am

Bubblah

5:12 am

I bet it did. The bambino banished!

5:12 am

tawnic

5:12 am

no no - that is okay. :-)

5:12 am

drawring

5:13 am

bahston

5:13 am

The lawr offices of...

5:13 am

reveah

5:13 am

pee-bdy

5:14 am

lol - ah memories

5:14 am

pahk the cah... oh man - when i first moved to mass in 87, i grinned all the time

5:14 am

thought the accent was so cute

5:14 am

I grew up in the midwest, so the lingo is still a novelty

5:15 am

I moved here in 86

5:15 am

so did i - i grew up in Michigan

5:15 am

wow - just about the same time!

5:15 am

Indiana

5:15 am

Are you sure we don't know each other?

5:15 am

pretty close i'd say, and lol - no I am not!

5:16 am

i lived on the north shore and then 495 ish tho - lynnfield, then nahant, then finally uxbridge

5:16 am

nice

5:17 am

I came to be a nanny - lived on beacon hill, then in brookline, then allston and "out" to watertown

5:17 am

nahant was gorgeous - we had an oceanfront rental home on the protected side - could see miles of beach

5:17 am

It is really pretty over there.

5:17 am

ooh beacon hill. no parking but great shops.

5:17 am

yes, great walking

5:17 am

I did a lot of construction projects in the whole downtown area

5:18 am

you did construction? I'm impressed

5:18 am

lol, why?

5:18 am

probably with leggo bricks

5:19 am

because I can't hang an Ikea set of hooks on my wall

5:19 am

it is a job like any other - only difference is I owned my own company for a few years before I retired

5:19 am

lol, granny

5:19 am

leggos are good building blocks granny!

5:19 am

I can do legos :)

5:19 am

see? there you are

5:20 am

i see I am making no grid progress - going to dive in!

5:20 am

good luck!

5:20 am

having to learn all over again, number one grandson is nearly 2 years old

5:20 am

ty. :-)

can someone help me with the ri6 please?

5:22 am

musical term for slow down

thanks Kris!

5:22 am

faith, ri + ****y, being very slow

5:22 am

it starts with a brand of dye

5:22 am

granny, relearning legos?

5:23 am

had three sons and four brothers, guess it won't take me too long

5:24 am

if your grandkids are like my friends' kids, you won't get much of a chance to touch the legos

5:24 am

"play with me" - but if you add to their building, it's wrong

5:24 am

And if you build a separate thing, they need the bricks you're using

5:25 am

the main problem will be getting down onto the floor ( but getting back up will also be a challenge )

5:25 am

yes, I can see that will be tough. Are you slated for physical therapy when freed from the chair?

5:26 am

have you ever noticed? the older you become, the further away the floor is.

5:26 am

yes, indeed!

5:27 am

kris, have to go for hydrotherapy 4 times a week for the next 6 weeks

5:27 am

and the more incentive it takes to go up or downstairs

5:28 am

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

5:29 am

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!!!!

5:29 am

faith, change the vowel ending

5:30 am

of the one with something ot common

ty granny!

5:30 am

* not *

5:31 am

why does my husband not know how to change the ink cartridge?

5:31 am

gm

5:31 am

that's a turn around, kris

5:32 am

hey kje

5:32 am

nevermind - why are we out of black ink?

5:32 am

good morning, kje

5:33 am

why why why - sounds like the 3 year old I was with last night...

5:33 am

hi kje

5:33 am

was the 3 yr old whining, too?

5:33 am

lol, kris

5:33 am

LOL - no, I think at that age it is called making conversation

5:36 am

:)

5:40 am

Well, I suppose I'd better get up and going or go back to bed. Anybody need a clue before I go?

5:40 am

no, just starting, but thanks.... and I vote for going back to bed

5:40 am

I'm good kris but thanks. Have a great day

5:41 am

you, too Wolfie - thanks everyone for the chat and the help!

5:41 am

{poof}

5:42 am

nearly bed-time here, so i will say good-night. happy babbling! see you at he flip

5:43 am

sleep well, granny

5:43 am

bye granny - sleep well

5:44 am

sorry for the hiccup, 'putor doing weird things

5:44 am

nearly bed-time here, so i will say good-night. happy babbling! see you at he flip

5:45 am

now, she is haunting us

5:45 am

;-)

5:47 am

pay back for all the mass words. really going this time.* poof*

5:50 am

good morning

5:50 am

hi sue

5:50 am

has anyone used 4fleas dog flea tablets?

5:51 am

no - I use frontline plus

5:51 am

for my dog. ;-0

5:52 am

getting too expensive

5:52 am

what - frontline? I get mine at Dr's Foster and Smith, sometimes Petmeds when they run a special

5:54 am

where do you buy yours sue?

5:55 am

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

5:56 am

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

5:56 am

afro not a word????

5:56 am

nope. that bummed me out kje. I tried it a couple of times to be sure.

5:57 am

(sorry, apparently kris' whining was contagious)

5:57 am

enable has not seen my hair in high humidity, apparently

5:57 am

nor mine. :-)

5:58 am

sue - sorry if my joke piffed you off

5:58 am

no, puppy did. pooped in Wesleys room AFTER she went and pooped outside

5:59 am

eeeewwwww

5:59 am

it's not like I dont have a dog door available to the dogs and cats 24/7

5:59 am

oh no - i hate messes like that. Thankfully, the puppy will grow out of it

5:59 am

the talk about fleas likely spooked her...

5:59 am

lol

6:00 am

I have been shopping world wide, that is why I asked you all

6:00 am

this is the only place I can hear around the world in one question

6:00 am

ah. that is tr**. Babble is great for that

6:01 am

wolvie, I know your heart is good, you cant piss me off

6:01 am

it would be hippacritical of you

6:02 am

lol - ty sue - i just laughed at myself really after i saw that i used frontline plus.

6:02 am

have you used the frontline plus kits?

6:03 am

kits? oh - for cats? yes.

6:04 am

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

6:05 am

vial and seringe? no - I use the topical stuff - usually buy a six pack at a time

6:06 am

is the seringe stuff cheaper then?

6:06 am

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

6:06 am

lol

6:06 am

much cheaper

6:07 am

once a month dose kje - not that big a deal. :-)

6:07 am

check out EBAY

6:07 am

watched chitty bang bang yesterday and now I want an english sheep dog

6:07 am

sorry KJE, it is well worth it

6:07 am

hmm - i will look into that sue - i didn't even know that was available

6:07 am

now that is a dog you have to work fo

6:07 am

POSH song! too funny - we were all on that yesterday

6:07 am

love chitty

6:08 am

they say they are lousy guard dogs though... everyone is a friend

6:09 am

unless you want to be vigilant, sometimes a very friendly dog is best. Depends on your habits. :-)

6:09 am

they also collect all kids sticky food in their hair

6:09 am

lets not start with comming in from the rain

6:09 am

well, don't want a mean one... but would be nice if it at least growled if someone broke in - LOL

6:09 am

how odd - tabacco has another name in this grid. ;-)

6:10 am

go with a red tipped hound or some kind of hound

6:10 am

very friendly, but they like to bark

6:10 am

I like bigger dogs, and non yappers

6:10 am

we**?

6:11 am

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

6:11 am

funny - you think tobacco, I think featherbee

6:11 am

ta 7 sue - uses that we at the end

6:11 am

lol kje

6:11 am

my collie is a full size boy - 80 pounds. A bit smaller than my normal sheps, but still a big boy

6:12 am

ty wolvie

6:12 am

you think tobacco, I think pot

6:13 am

;-) sue

6:13 am

tobacco encompasses all for me. ;-0

6:13 am

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

6:13 am

not getting ta7

6:13 am

sticky stuff plus the we

6:14 am

ta7 - cigarette low *** ingredient + pot

6:14 am

oh yeah kje - i hear you. I hate dogs like that

6:14 am

lol

6:15 am

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?

6:15 am

we call those dogs....PUNT dogs

6:15 am

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

6:16 am

you are ready for a doggie kje - because you know what you want

6:16 am

we respect you know the difference between a dog and a PUNT

6:16 am

LOL sue

6:16 am

got it!

6:16 am

Fireworks

6:17 am

wanna clue it?

6:17 am

6:18 am

6:18 am

6:18 am

6:19 am

go4 is caused by ur5 crystals

6:19 am

naw, I am going to look for coupons, today is shopping day

6:19 am

6:19 am

6:19 am

6:19 am

6:20 am

6:20 am

6:23 am

Good morning Babble friends. I had only 1 call during the night. 3 more nights of on call to go.

6:24 am

hi scrabbler

6:24 am

Funny response to a typo, Sue--I am still laughing

6:24 am

ooo - the catalan sheepdog is pretty - one looking for a home near here

6:25 am

lol

6:25 am

6:25 am

6:28 am

6:28 am

I am stuck after 19 words---must await onset of caffeine effect

6:28 am

wow, that may be the cutest puppy ever made

6:28 am

Those are BIG dogs and beautiful

6:30 am

really big! would have to make sure that thing was trained well... doubt you could move the thing once full grown - LOL

6:30 am

can get up to 120 pounds!

6:31 am

It will move YOU on walks when it pulls on the leash

6:31 am

just gorgeous!

6:31 am

well, not if trained well, I guess, scrab... that is the key to big dog ownership

6:31 am

There are a pair in my parents' neighborhood---beautiful

6:32 am

Rain, rain go away.....ugh

6:33 am

6:36 am

errr, no, lol

6:37 am

6:37 am

no tylenol #3 hanging out??? what is wrong with you?

6:37 am

call Rush and see if he can spare some

6:37 am

Cold air, cold fluids, Feather...we put the little croupers on prednisone to decrease airway swelling

6:37 am

lol, strongest meds in this house are tylenol, advil, etc.

6:38 am

did the humidifier last night

6:38 am

daniel's blow drying his hair with a bubble blower

6:38 am

: )

6:38 am

i have meditation class this morning. really gonna suck if i get a coughing fit while everyone's meditating!

6:38 am

I hope he isn't using the bubble soap

6:39 am

nope. it actually kinda looks like a dryer. has a little fan on it, behind the bubble circle shape.

6:39 am

lozenger, we4, moisture helps a lot

6:39 am

or call your pcp and ask for some codeine

6:39 am

is that kath-speak for cough drops?

6:40 am

did i mispell it?

6:40 am

dunno, just hadn't seen it with an r on the end before

6:41 am

LOLOL

6:41 am

looking at your last-fm in you profile. BTQ they are very good!

8:31 am

just checked TO, no idea where that came from, have never opened it up

that is interesting.

8:32 am

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*

8:38 am

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!

8:43 am

I think I've discovered the problem - there's already a flosey elsewhere - a young looking male

8:46 am

...and won't he have a surprise, Flosey! Weird.

8:59 am

prat

8:59 am

OH DEAR SORRY!

9:00 am

9:00 am

Geeze PB TWICE

9:03 am

Love your icon Jac!

9:08 am

good morning

9:11 am

good morning to you too Dorens! Foggy here.

9:11 am

grey wet and windy here

9:13 am

i swear that before noon today i will straighten up my very untidy kitchen, rather than spend the next two hours playing babble

9:13 am

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.

9:14 am

burning leaves? one of my iconic and favorite smells of childhood and i miss it. we never can do it here. enjoy

9:15 am

will do for sure! But the leaves now mulch.

9:17 am

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.

9:20 am

back for my last 23, maybe...hello everyone

9:20 am

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!

9:20 am

hi dorens, this grid does not flfow

9:21 am

*flow

9:21 am

that is gr**ifying to hear-- thought it was me

9:21 am

dorens, it can never be

9:22 am

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

9:23 am

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

12:17 pm

i am back. Has anyone seen Montroal in the chog? I notice he is online, but posts no messages here.

12:23 pm

hi inge, nope, haven't seen him for a while

12:23 pm

it is almost like Crossy took his place

12:24 pm

like Superman and Clark Kent - never see them both at the same time

12:35 pm

I know some babblers dont speak anymore, because they were offended by someone or some topic. but Montreal???????????????????

12:36 pm

Leaving now. Will check for crossy later.

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

np scwabby im usually only good for 1 every 2 years anyways

1:09 pm

That lower R must be an re word, but I haven't found one that the grid likes so far

1:09 pm

it is either an re4 or an re6 then

1:09 pm

good morning ! a little beatles to help me knock out this grid....

1:09 pm

got it!

1:09 pm

it's a fish. one who looks at books.

1:09 pm

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?

1:09 pm

tushie

1:09 pm

lol, hello Crista

1:10 pm

oh, lol, no it isn't. wait....

1:10 pm

hello Chista.

1:10 pm

Hi Christa

1:10 pm

it's an anagram of one who looks at books. or to call someone honey again.

1:10 pm

TY, Feather--odd word

1:11 pm

i'd try it scrabs.

1:11 pm

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

1:11 pm

A Dremel?

1:12 pm

that's really a dumb word. They don't accept rerate; but they accept THAT?

1:12 pm

off to other things. bbl.

1:12 pm

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.

1:12 pm

yes indeed

1:12 pm

Bye feather

1:12 pm

comes with a whole bunch of different tips for different aplications

1:13 pm

Then I dropped tiles when I tried to squeeze some in--broke 4-5....

1:13 pm

Bye for now featherbee.

1:13 pm

you can use it for furniture stripping,cutting metal,removing old gr 5/16

1:13 pm

I returned to Lowe's after work today to buy more tiles--fortunately they cost just $0.16 each

1:13 pm

I love my Dremel. The kids do too so I have to hide it (it's in my clothes closet in a shoe box).

1:14 pm

nef knows.it does a million things;)

1:14 pm

TY, Cross & Nef!

1:14 pm

Scrabbler, so frustrating when your trying to finish a task/job.

1:14 pm

should be around 30-40 dollars

1:14 pm

but you will use it for everything!!

1:14 pm

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!

1:15 pm

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

1:15 pm

I told myself, "Don't cry, you can solve this problem."

1:16 pm

I have some spoons with that problem

1:16 pm

I would have wept through frustration.

1:17 pm

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)

1:17 pm

I was close, Elder, as I was tired and on call too, and messy with adhesive on my hands, dropping and cracking tiles

1:17 pm

you will love it for refinishing old chairs erc

1:18 pm

Yay, this project will ultimately be successful.

1:18 pm

{{{Scrabs}}} that's when it's hard. So close and yet so hard to finish

1:18 pm

but a 3 minute go on that old gr 5/16 and yer done;))

1:18 pm

I can picture the scene Scrabs. poor you, but how please when you finish the job, with the new tool to help.

1:18 pm

yep!

1:18 pm

I was sad this morning, looking at 70 tiles in place with 2 missing slots

1:19 pm

Boy, I am finding well-hidden words now--sneaky grid.

1:20 pm

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)

1:21 pm

brb, gotta help DH

1:21 pm

I live 8 miles from town so will go to Lowe's tomorrow.

1:21 pm

you ladies can also use it to buff your nails;))))))

1:21 pm

thanks crosshair

1:22 pm

Ideas, Cross!

1:22 pm

cross, a man for all seasons and reasons:)

1:22 pm

wont need emery boards lol

1:22 pm

Scrabs.. wait for it ... can this tool be used in your job ?.

1:22 pm

flad you almost finished scrabbs

1:23 pm

NBT finally and 70 left. BBL, sister is coming down to spend the weekend. Time to change out of work clothes.

1:23 pm

1:24 pm

Have fun with your sister Scrabs .

1:24 pm

Cross, I knew you would have a use for Scrabs at work.\:)

1:52 pm

1:53 pm

such a waste of time. When I should be looking for other words :)

1:53 pm

from the stupid words I've just found, I'm going to guess that there aren't any more *normal* words left!

1:55 pm

hi, folks, 22 left

1:55 pm

Shouldn't bet on that Nef.

1:55 pm

Hello Peri.

1:55 pm

Babble, I thought a messy grid .

1:57 pm

Hello, BabbleRabble

1:57 pm

BR, are we looking at the same grid?

1:57 pm

Hello everybody. Not sure whether to dive in....

1:58 pm

2:04 pm

Peri ta* stuff on the roads and a flower not wanted in someone's garden.

2:05 pm

Thanks Peri, thats how i feel about my computer at times. :-)

2:06 pm

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.

2:06 pm

thanks elder

2:06 pm

Nef and all the contributions and taxes we have paid and continue to pay .

2:10 pm

Well done Elder!

2:11 pm

And I believe that Gen Y is just as large a population as the Boomers are too, isn't it?

2:11 pm

WTG, elder!!!! YAY!!!!!

2:11 pm

YAY elder!

2:11 pm

Gen Y?

2:11 pm

hello all!

2:11 pm

Hello, Stid

2:12 pm

Hey there Stid :)

2:12 pm

Hello Stid nice to see you.. how is the education going?

2:12 pm

hi stid. How are you today?

2:13 pm

ok will be on my way. Enjoy the grid. Bye everyone.

2:14 pm

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.

2:14 pm

bye elder! (((hugs))) enjoy your evening!

2:14 pm

Yes, Soodle, Gen Y is 70 million people born between 1980 and 1995 I believe

2:15 pm

Oh My!! I am personally responsible for 3 of those creatures!! LOL

2:15 pm

well soodle, you for three, me for two. that's just a drop in the bucket!

2:16 pm

I have called them lots of things in the past, but never Gen Y. Thats a new one for my repetoire!!

2:16 pm

I'll claim responsibility for one and also 1 Gen X myself.

2:18 pm

Some sites call them Gen Me also. ;-)

2:20 pm

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!!

2:21 pm

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)

2:22 pm

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!

2:22 pm

have you seen Mother since she got home, Soodle?

2:23 pm

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

2:23 pm

ri 6 please

2:24 pm

is it possible people are actually thinking ahead a little? It would be interesting to know if that is true nation-wide.

2:24 pm

hello ruru

2:24 pm

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.

2:24 pm

you want a musical term meaning slow down, ruru

2:24 pm

sorry, ruru, I don't have it.

2:24 pm

and thanks for pointing it out!

2:24 pm

2:32 pm

2:32 pm

2:38 pm

I never had fried green tomatoes. Just know the film.. I really enjoyed it

2:38 pm

I am not fond of fried green tomatoes...

2:39 pm

the film was good, someday I want to peruse the book!

2:41 pm

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.

2:41 pm

I'll be back later to attempt getting no blank tiles.

2:41 pm

see you-all soon! *poof*

2:42 pm

See ya later Stid. Hope you feel unyucky soon!

2:44 pm

bye stid. Take care of yourself

2:45 pm

DH made some fried green tomatoes and they were heavenly! I wonder if certain tomatoes are better in them than others?

2:46 pm

(phantom: parade)

2:46 pm

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!

2:48 pm

they are unripe tomatoes (the way DH made them, anyway). He used a bunch of our heirloom tomaotes

2:49 pm

Heirloom tomatoes are so much tastier than the hybrid varieties

2:49 pm

Heirloom tomatoes. I am soooo provincial. I dont know what they are. I just know tomatoes grow on vines, and they taste nice.

2:52 pm

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

2:53 pm

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

2:55 pm

Now I know what your talking about! The tomatoes you buy in a supermarket taste like ....nothing. Home grown actually taste like ....well, tomatoes!

2:57 pm

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

3:20 pm

Is the chog broken, or did the tomatoes kill it?

3:20 pm

oohh, we had purple princes at out local market this summer and they were delish!

3:21 pm

amazingly sweet!

3:21 pm

I see a new movie....Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes.....

3:34 pm

omg, i have 2 left and didn't even realise i was that close

3:34 pm

Erm. I hate to break the deafening silence but any clues for the GR 5/16, please

3:34 pm

white stuff between wall tiles

3:35 pm

Thanks Jac!!

3:35 pm

np

3:35 pm

do you habe the au7?

3:36 pm

yes, jacq, but thanks for asking

3:37 pm

I do!! Its au + a prefix that means do again, + eaten

3:37 pm

BabbleRabble. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!!!! LOL

3:37 pm

smiles, you are a gem ty, i was just fiddling with adding letters in the middle

3:37 pm

lol, thanks BR

3:38 pm

You are too cheeky, BR

3:38 pm

i like sarcasm lol

3:39 pm

Bugsaw! What a lovely profile pic. You must be very very proud of your dad!

3:39 pm

I shall henceforth endeavor to keep the cheeks in proper dimension

3:39 pm

lol

3:39 pm

Keep the cheeks in dimension, BabbleRabble, and the tongue out of them, please!!!!

3:40 pm

LOL

3:41 pm

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.

3:42 pm

Any snow, Bugsaw?

3:42 pm

sorry for your loss bug, and it is a very nice pic, he looks like a good honest man

3:43 pm

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!

3:43 pm

Well, may he rest in peace, and may he enjoy the celebrations being held in his honour!

3:43 pm

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.

3:43 pm

For sure.

3:44 pm

Thanks Soodle. He has an identical twin brother who is still lving so it helped to be able to buy a card anyway.

3:45 pm

He was a terrific man and a gentle father. Good qualifications if you ask me.

3:45 pm

Dads are the best!

3:46 pm

excellent qualifications bug, everyone should have a dad like him

3:46 pm

I always feel so badly for people who have lousy ones.

3:46 pm

we get over it bug lol

3:46 pm

There is a correlation between who a person was and how much he or she is missed.

3:47 pm

That is true BR. My first life mentor died in 1993 and I still miss her gentle presence.

3:47 pm

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

3:48 pm

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!!

3:49 pm

can someone please clue the ri6, i have tried everything i can think of

3:49 pm

I am glad you got a good one eventually jacq.

3:50 pm

8:42 pm

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."

9:33 pm

is it nice in MT?

9:33 pm

for a polar bear

9:33 pm

it was nice here but there were races for cure, demonstrations and subway repairs

9:34 pm

we're catching an arctic express right now. nasty cold

9:34 pm

race for the cure, that's a great cause.

9:34 pm

more of the same for tomorrow

9:35 pm

brrr I am glad I live fairly far south

9:35 pm

only thing racing here is my furnace.

9:35 pm

there were hundreds of the Komen race for the cure including bikers in drag

9:35 pm

we normally don't get the cold this early. it's done a number on the tree limbs

9:36 pm

don't usually have a race up here, down by Harp, they usually have one.

9:40 pm

the race reached DC today, JMC?

9:40 pm

hi DC

9:40 pm

hi, dawg :)

9:41 pm

it was at dupont circle yesterday and bethesda today

9:41 pm

hi dc

9:42 pm

back in a few.

9:45 pm

Hello all. How are you doing tonight?

9:45 pm

hi, nef :) well, ty. and you?

9:45 pm

hi nef

9:45 pm

Hi seain. How's Tom doing today?

9:46 pm

hi Neffie

9:46 pm

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.

9:46 pm

i'd offered to take him there today, but he's not been up for dealing.

9:46 pm

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!)

9:47 pm

hi lbd. more cold weather heading our way I hear?

9:47 pm

oh, my. glad that you survived

9:48 pm

well at least it is good exercise nef

9:48 pm

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

9:50 pm

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

9:50 pm

poor nef

9:51 pm

not much you can do about colic. patience and in your case rolling furniture

9:51 pm

it's okay. The little kid is sick, not me.

9:51 pm

I'm just -creative?

9:52 pm

very creative -- the rolling chair was clever

Poor Nef. oh and my friend says Baby Einstein soothes the savage beast too.

9:53 pm

I guess they tried some different formula on him today. He's being weaned off the breast milk so mom can take psychotropic drugs

9:53 pm

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

9:54 pm

Get more snow, lbd?

9:54 pm

Oh, she most certainly does!

9:55 pm

just more cold, br

Hello to those I missed to.

9:56 pm

I know, herin. My son (his Dad) had lactose intolerance and was on soy til he was 7 years old

9:56 pm

alas my de4 friends, i must head for the pillows. see you all tomorrow!

9:56 pm

hey, BR, did you notice that Fargo is in the grid today and it isn't a WORD?

It sucks poor kid

9:56 pm

For sure.

10:42 pm

10:42 pm

10:43 pm

I think the score was 34-10 right?

10:43 pm

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

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?

10:51 pm

<-- doesn't like geoducks either

10:52 pm

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

10:52 pm

oh, hope all is well..

10:52 pm

I like the clams not the ones with the duck heads

10:52 pm

ok babrab, i am trying and have no clever ideas.. what is it?
