oh, and I finally learned how to text LOL
does she live close by?
sore thumbs now, dee?
about 2 1/2 hours away
lol jili; nope I am proud to report
our 3rd daughter and granddaughter live about that far away and it seems like forever
good for you, dee!
understand that west, sometimes it really does
149
wtg une
good grief, 140 -- can't type tonite
wtg anyway lol
I envy you both -- the closest of our kids is 4 1/2 hours away and the other two are 8 and 10 hours -- all mountain roads that are snow covered and icy all winter
nan, i'll be in the same boat, if not worse, if my daughter gets the job she's applied for in Maine! LOL
that's hard nan
that would be tough nan
you can visit her in the summer and come see me too une
west, are you familiar with Machias?
down to 75 and stalled -- think I'll check out the list
looks like the end of the world on the map LOL
ours is not tied to her current town, so counting these times as blessings... with fingers crossed she won't move... but you just don't know in these times of having to move for jobs
no I'm not what is it near?
nothing LOL!
we're in Ogunquit in the summer it's 11 miles from the NH border
wikipedia says it's the county seat of Washington County . . .
i've never been to New England so, from a tourist standpoint, it would be a great opportunity!
still can't place it
have a feeling it's cold
I think a lot of MOntrealers go to Ogunquit in the summer
population is under 2500!
I just googled it it is out there
we have rented to people from quebec
haven't been to Quebec in 20 years -- would love to go back!
I am halfway now so heading to bed. Happy Babbling everyone. and good luck to the sprinters!
love the license plates
nite, bugsaw :-)
good night bugs sleep well
une will she be at u of maine?
wtg bugs, sweet dreams
yep, library
good for her
we'll see, of course -- she's also applied for jobs in WV and NC
and something may develop where she is now -- U Mich
she's fortunate to have 3 to chose from
she and her boyfriend have been doing LOTS of research!!
machias sounds like cabot cove
fortunately he's an environmental engineer who telecommutes so he'll go wherever she gets a job
u of m is a good school - my nephew graduated from there a few years ago
that's the way to go now with gas prices and traffic
I know the song
i agree, sammysmom -- she's getting her master's there in library science and information systems
she will love maine-
I wonder if they still sing it..Fill the steins to dear old Maine
i attemded um many many years ago
oh, i know, sammysmom-- they're both crazy for the outdoors -- biking, climbing, hiking, etc.
:-D

think it's an old fashioned female name
hey all
ah I see
is crossy about?
he hasn't said hello jes
aright
crossy isn't usually on at this hour is he west?
how's the grid?
pretty straight forward jes
the grid is friendly and crossy is usually here in the morning
same time zone as me, i think
Lotta Hitschmanova, CC (November 28, 1909 - September 1, 1990) was a Canadian humanitarian. In 1945, she helped to found USC Canada as the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada. USC Canada is an international development organization that started as a small group of aid workers sending supplies to war-torn Europe for relief and reconstruction. So I didn't get the name quite right -- there's more in Wikipedia Attired in an army nurse's uniform and military-style hat, she travelled yearly to strife-torn and poverty-stricken parts of the world searching out towns and villages in need of Canadian assistance to recover from drought, war, disease and poverty.
there was a jeopardy category for him the other night..BACON lol
LOL west!
heheh
very interesting Jilli, I had never heard that story - what a courageous woman
thanks jilli she sounds like a good woman
lotta doesn't work, btw
tried it already
change a vowel and it does
if it was la5, would be a lovely coffee drink
thanks josh
thanks, josh
now off to bed, another busy day tomorrow
sleep well flosey
goodnight all, be back tomorrow for flip
night flosey -- busy for me too (bridge, lol)
same here!
g'night, flosey
jes how is Caliope doing?
had to put her down about 2 months ago, west... kidney disease caught up to her
oh no that's too bad I thought she was very young
oh no, she was at least 9 or 10 when I got her
likely older
no more suffering that's good
it wasn't really much of a surprise, though it went awfully fast at the end
yes. and at least she got to spend several months in a warm house sleeping on my bed instead of abandoned at a deserted house
that's good nice for both of you
yeah
didn't you adopt a male at the same time? can't remember what you called him
not the happiest rescue, but some good of it
er... i had a potbellied pig from the same place. Notorious P.I.G.
that's right I remember now lol
love the name
had a male cat shortly before that I called Popeye. He got adopted out and renamed Frosty. Still around, and quite happy
morning all
good morning ish
morning, ishult
would love to adopt all the strays and unwanteds
off to a good start, rattles off 110 quickly (including 2x 7's- lo7 & to7)
good for you ish!!

west -- just saw your new and lovely icon :)
I didn't think it went through jilli
I'll have to change my profile too
I'm still seeing Amanda

sometimes I have to close and reopen Babble -- sometimes a Force Refresh will do it but you're using a Mac, right?
wishy is SO a word!
Well, 61 left and I can't see straight. Hope I'll have time to do more tomorrow. Night all!

hi Sprite
hey lyn :) How've you been?
Very good thanks Sprite. How are you after your break with your friends?
had a lovely time, and now am enjoying being home again.
Lovely, I can see your shoulders feeling all relaxed
they are :)
I haven't seen you since you were going to the specialist I think, was he/she able to help with your legs?
he has done a load of tests. Must go see him on dec 7 for the results. We really hope he will know what it is and will know what to do about it then.
I'll keep my fingers crossed until then
I truly appreciate it, lyn, I know how it will hamper your Babbling! *hug*
lol
Hi there sprite and lynxx!
hi FMitch :)
Fingers crossed from me too for the 7th spritey sprite
thanks FM!
goodmorning FM!
Evening lynxx, hope you are well :)
How is the grid today>
?
first half is very fast, don't know about the rest yet
Very well, its warm but we are having yet another lovely lot of torrential rain. It's beautiful
Ah hope to have time a bit later to babble. LOL lynxx rain is good when it is needed, glad to say it has stopped raining here as it hadn't for aboutg 2 weeks!
What are you up to FM, still in the hotel? Are you looking to buy
Moved into new house on Thorsday, and love it bugt am surrounded by boxes although I have got the kitchen unpacked and functioning
and my typing is still rubbish :)
Oh wow. Congratulations - if I was there I would come over with a loaf of bread and some salt!
wonderful, FM! I hope it will be home very soon
Don't have broadband installed yet - hoefully next week so am using laptop and a wifi connection so can't stay for too long and I would be happy to welcome you into my new home!
Had a lovely surprise yesterday Haz and Ata sent me some flowers!!!
oh that is so sweet!
what a nice pair!
so to speak
I know, I went all misty
Anyway I had better get back to unpacking, good to see you both and take care.
*big hug* and good luck!
Byeeee
Bye
I see to have got stuck on 46 so might give this away for the night. See you later Sprite, have a good day

yes - it most certainly was
you made it this far - no way you are a loser
fireflies. Bye all, have fun.
Hello all. COngrats Sprite!
Anybody home?
*feeling lonely + alone*
But I am moving along---found 72 so far.
*wondering if I have cooties*
ps
I did shower
I passed halfway!
Scrabbler, I just arrived
Go Scrabbler go!
Guten Morgen, Freundin Inge! Wie geht es heute?
I have been wondering where my Babble buddies are.
just got up, not really functioning yet
Me too, so I do Babble first thing every morning.
cant believe you and I are the only ones onaboard
The lurkers are here, I know it, but no one wanted to talk with me. :-(
What are your plans for the weekend? I have to work from 8:30---done seeing sick kids, which I hope is not after 12 or 1. Then I am on call all weekend.
sI usually dont talk when I am looking for words. Mistakes you know
I just got here, hello everyone
I am doing my stollen baking today.
You don't use Babble Expert?
hi blue
Hi Blueheron! I saw a blue heron the other day--beautiful birds.
stollen! yummy
I switch to expert halfway through. Start regular, so I am not tempted
tempted to chat or tempted to use the list?
tempted to use list, following by looking up words, etc
It is interesting to learn how Babblers approach the word search.
Ours are gone now. We had our first snow yestterday.
It snowed most of yesterday but did not stick--ground is still too warm.
Where do you live, blueheron?
no snow here yet this year
It has snowed on 4 separate days here so far. Last year the ski resort across the valley had opened.
hello everyone
hi Anniie, I am under water
swat
Hi folks, just have a second before Walter is done with his lunch and we go up for a shower, but thought I'd say hello.
Inge, Under water and babbling? You are wonderful.
Hi MG, nice to see you. How is Walter's leg?
Hi Annie + MG! MG, I just commented on FB.
He's hav8ing cramps and twinges, but since night before last hasn't had any of the really nasty pain.
Annie, I met your grandson Jack last evening. How old is he?
OK, Scrabbs, I'll glance over there!
Hi Scrabbs! Jack is 11. Glad to see he was babbling.
Aww, thanks. Yes, people are shocked by the whole thing too, because they assume he fell or something but when they realize how bad it COULD have been they get really emotional and give him snacks and cards and now money.

I had my foyer and the hallway painted yesterday. The painter came at 9 am and left at 10 pm. He did a great job and later I will put everything back but I am worn out. You would think I was the one who did the painting.
What color did you go with?
White and taupe.
MG, yes, it could have been SO much worse for Walter.
I know. This is a nasty, nasty break but it's a leg. He was hit by a car. I know how lucky he is to be alive, and then there's all the gradients of worse between broken leg and killed... I shudder to think about it.
Me too, when I think about car vs little body.
MG, My goodness. Lucky little boy. Thank God it was not worse. I hope he heals quickly.
It was a seriously HUGE car too. Hang on, I'll try to find a link to one.
Good morning
good morning, merk
Thanks, Annie. This will be a hard road for him but he seems over the worst of the trauma and maybe the worst of the post-op pain. It's going in the good direction, anyway, to loosely translate a Dutch saying.
It was a lot like this one http://www.theautochannel.com/news/200 7/10/25/068666.1-lg.jpg
MG, I dont know how to bring up that image. To me a little boy and a car meeting is a frightening thought.
I am surprised his lower leg took the brunt and not a higher part of his body.
Yes. I still get the shakes about it after more than a week. I didn't see it happen, but a couple of the kids who did are still having nightmares. It happened right infront of his school as all the kids were going in.
Scrabbs, Was Jack looking for me?
Me too, Scrabbs, but one of the witnesses says he actually got his leg between the back wheel and the edge of the wheel well.
MG, Is Walter home?
Yes, since Monday. I stayed in the hospital with him for the 5 days.
No, Annie, Jack was looking for clues, but yesterday's grid was very tough, I told him.
OK, he's tired and staging a tantrum about his lunch. I need to go get him through this and then into the shower. Have fun, folks!
Bye MG
MG, Give Walter a hug from me. Bye.
Scrabbs, I am glad that Jack likes to babble. He was at his aunts house for Thanksgiving with the entire Bayer clan. I was going to go but the painter said he could come and do the paint job in one day so I stayed home. I hope Jack was polite.
He was polite. It was cute, because he asked us if we knew his grandmother Annie.
Hello everyone!
Hey scrabbs. my computer went down. Sorry to interrupt our conversation. I live in New Hampshire
Scrabbs, He is a polite little boy. I will find out later how many words he was able to find.
Hello Brookie
Hi Annie!
Scrabbs, How are the children that are in my prayers?
Hi Brooke. Oh, no, Blueheron--computer problems are so aggravating!
Hi Scrabbs!
It's the satellite, too much cloud cover.
Annie, with my new job I no longer care for Ben, Sabrina + Timmy. But please pray for Andrew, Owen + Lexi.
so how do you take care of your house bunnies?
Scrabbs, What a misery that children get so ill. I will add the children.
Just pray for all kids with cancer. The world of pediatric oncology is full of such suffering for the children and their families.
I will, Scrabbs.
I am crying.
I follow updates on several kids on Caring Bridge, and it is full of hope and despair for these families.
that's so sad scrabbs.
It is sad, and incomprehensible.
Well, Babble buddies, I must get ready for work now. I shall return this afternoon. I must go see kiddoes in the office for a few hrs. I hope their are no realy sick ones.
Bye Scrabbs, Have an easy day.
bye scrabbs
hi everyone
Hi Jacko
Hi jacko!

I love you, Jacko. Bye.
hello everyone
Hi jacq!
how is the grid today?
heya brookie
Not bad. Easier than yesterday.
yesterdays was challenging
Yes, there were lots of words I didn't know existed!
there have been a few like that this week though
True. But normally I stop halfway through the puzzle, so I tend to limit myself to words I automatically see. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to complete the puzzle.
always a good feeling when you finish
It had been forever since I had seen "fireworks"!
Hi everyone 8)
Hi gramma!
heya gramma
This is the sort of grid where you can just put in any S word and it's there. I like it! You don't even have to look.
lol i'm seeing that
then make it plural
wishy is too a word. Don't be so wishy washy, make a decision.
Tried that too, gramma!
lol
I'm back.
hi grandma anne
How was breakfast, Annie?
Hi jack, what did the Giants do yesterday?
Breakfast was good. Fruit and cereal. Thanks, brookie
they lost bad
Bummer.
yeah i know
oooh, just found ot 5. Cute little water critters but change the second vowel and plural it.
* critter
I don't like amatos late in the year.
Unless they're served by a young hotty
jacko? are you still here?
Very cute, gramma!
yes
jack, how do you find this grid?
what do you mean
jack, do you find the grid hard or easy to find words?
easy
good for you, you smart kid!
thanks
good morning
Hi Dorens!
heya dorens
Good morning, Dorens!
looks like a friendlier grid? they've been kind of tough latley. hi annie, jac, brookie and jacko.. good to see you've come back again
it's not too shabby this grid, down to 63 already
dorens, jacko is my grandson.
hello jacko, nice to meet you
yes I know annie, when he came on the other day and saw sscrabbler he introduced himself (perhaps you told him about her?) very cute.
you to jacq
Jacko how old are you? (i'm sure everyone always asks that)
i am 11 years old
Jacko, you're an inspiration!
a great age to start playing... and today's grid will be good for you, but some of the words in here will definitely seem to you like they were made up (they do to us)
thanks brookie
and you're a very polite young man, a credit to your family jacko
do you live near brooklyn?
thanks jacq
thanks jacq
ok, didn't mean to ask an inappropriate question.... just wondering annie, do you get to see him often?
dorens, jack has been warned about the internet so he plays it safe and answer no personal questions. They do not live in New York and I get to see them about every other month.
*answers
oh my grammar!!! any personal questions, I mean.
hello
Hi TO!
Hi Owl!
yes, I totally understand. In fact last time I thought of asking, but decided he probably might not answer (age and location), but was just wondering in terms of his seeing grandma. nice way for you to visit with him then, on internet. hi owl, all well?
dorens, I need a proofreader.
Levi is adorable.
Levi is adorable.
i often have typos in chat annie, and as long as we know what we mean, i think we are okay. We know that we are all literate highly verbal people, and if we didn't know words and their spelling we wouldn't be on this site.
thanks. i could just eat him up
jack, Does Dylan ever babble?
oh my. news story of 15 lb baby who was 3 weeks premature
gestational diabetes?
Hi Jean
hi, TO - we are speechless - might mean the mother had some complications
*poof*
hi there annie
my thought exactly Jean
hi jean and jbv
hi Doren and Annie
hya dorens
and hi to JBV
yes, same thought here.... as well as glad it wasn't my children or grandchildren
there was another huge baby like that a couple of months ago
showed a pic of him in the hospital nursery looking at a much tinier baby to his left and thinking "mmmm burrito"
it's a sign of something not right
most likely diabietic mom
morning babble time is over - must leave now - good luck to all, maybe see you later
later jbv
I have to put everything back. I had the hallway and foyer painted yesterday. I love the results.
Bye dear babblers.
how nice annie. enjoy

Then join up! For the low-cost one time fee; this is the best place to be on the whole web! (and I'm not prejudiced or anything either. ;-)

jmc, I have 4 A words so far and all 3 A's are used:
good morning babble friends!
hi trif
10 a's
good morning trif
jmc, I wished you lived near me!!!! got an "offer" in the mail yesterday, and would LOVE to have a second set of eyes to look it over!
yes nef. . . ?
hi tirf
Hello Trifioso!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
good morning
thanks Joanne
Good morning. This grid is full of laughs, isn't it?
scan it in and email it to me trif
min, your icon today is a hunka hunka burning love!
it's a scam. whatever it is. LOL
hi Trifi (sorry)
ok out for bit..really have to get ready to go out
byeee for now
bye joanne
oh, gosh, jmc, that's okay - it's about 15 pages worth of bird cage liner....too much too scan, too stupid to consider, really
if your scan senses are tingling trif,then toss it
Goodbye Joanne123!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat
well you can email the first and last page and summerize the rest
scam even
ohhh i'll be back only have 166 yet
gotta go get ready for my sunday school class and then off to the babble meet up!
I was wicked upset when I first read it, as it is beyond insulting, but then I realized that it is not a final thing, it's just the first grenade, so I calmed down. I don't have to accept it, and I am not going to, but will counter with what I want, and we go from there. That's how I assume it works, anyway....
Hello Gail! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
ohhh *that* kind of offer :(
Oh, where is that Babble meeting this time jmcnrick?
if the offer is insulting make an insulting counter offer
LOL! okay, will put that on list....
know what i do with all that junk mail and crap offers? i save all the pre-paid postage envelopes they give you and i mail them each other junk.not only does it ease my recycle bin,it keeps our postal workers employed in these days of e-mail;))
by the time I got to "20% of christmas bonus each year" I was actually laughing, so that is probably a good sign
DO NOT counter with what you want -- counter with what you want with whipped cream and a cherry on top
crossy, I have done that too!
okay, jmc I will!
I am doing very well, and I love your Ed Harris birthday post. I do love him.
*is listening carefully cos this will apply to me soon too*
write me an email with more details and i will get back to you
you too ata
really gotta go
crossy, you can also put fish weights, bricks, whatever in their postage paid envelopes, and they have to pay the postage on whatever you send back
*poof*
I like Ed Harris too. I think he's underappreciated as an actor.I'm not sure if he has ever won any Awards.
lol trif
Goodbye jmcnrick! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
good morning
Ed Harris is wonderful
I might, jmc, or I might just meditate and pray more on this one, and see where god leads me, and how god wants me to respond. it has to end sometime, and I want to make sure I am making good decisions, based on what the children and I need, and not just responding out of anger, fear, or spite
Ata, I am sorry to read that.....
Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
ewww.that kind of junk mail....
indeed, crossy, indeed. oh hey - by the way - I watched the nursery age kids last week during sunday service, and one of the little ones made me a cup of tea in the play kitchen - with a slice of play kitchen bacon in it!!! I thought of you immediately, and smiled
do what jmc said then,counter with 50% more than you think you need and a cherry on top
Ed Harris won a Golden Globe for The Truman Show & SAG Award for Appollo13.Had many other nominations
bacon!:))
Min, I think ed harris doesn't seek out public attention- he just wants to do his job, and he doesnt do the party scene or that kind of thing. melts my butter though, I tell you!!! (with great respect to his wife Amy, just in case she is lurking!)
crossy watches trifs butter melting with interest...
easy there tiger! :)
ouch! mrs crossy says good morning..;/
Hi gang
Jeff Daniels is another actor I really like, he is very talented.
what, with a frying pan to the back of the head?
Hi Mrs Crossy
morning hefo
hego, even! sorry!!!
lol Trif
mind you, typos are how I get a good chunk of my words in the grid, bless my demented fingers.....
Love the Ed Harris pic. Nice change from dogs.
god bless the monkeys
oh, speaking of which - remember my gross squished finger? it's allllllmost back to normal again
Although I like dogs. (whew)
I was about to get insulted, hego :)
i know, Iknow
hmmm. "surety" is a word...why not "wisety?"
I could be killed in this group with a remark like that!
od call websters trif and get them to add it;0
My dog watches over my shoulder, so I can't change the icon or he won't give me any more clues.
feh. they are too busy with "interrobang" and "unfriend"
Can't have that Gail.
you dog give you clues? i just let my cats walk across the keyboard;0
how many letters in the i word, please?
5 harp
Hello hego! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
Thanks, hi minver.
I'm good, love your icon today.
Thanks hego!
lol,the cat found et 5/12 for me;))
I need a cat!
i have 3,your welcome to one
lol, Crossy
you can have monkey or abercadabera,i want serius black
babble guilt is building - I really should go whack a few items off the to do list....
but I love hanging with you all!
Love the names
secondo used to have a gerbil named serius, crossy
know what i do with the to do list trif? i enter evey word into the grid;)
yeah trif!
hmmm - refinish desk, paint library, paint bookshelves, make six dozen scones for coffee hour after church tomorrow, type newsletter, laundry, clean out fridge....nope, none are in the list, crossy :(
lol with the ginger car(we shorten it to abby) i love messing with the vet and his files cause the cats full name is aberacadabera hocus pocus melbourne;0
I had one named "fawn hall the shredder"
I wanna ginger car!
interesting indeed
cat,not car have to read typoneeze
we had a vincent van gough (he had one ear)
Poor vet, crossy.
my sister used to have a cat named "who" - it was always good for a laugh. What's your cat's name? who. your cat? who. your cat?WHO
great name ruru;)
*grins*
lol abbot and costello
cat's always have three different names, the one you call them, their real name, and one that no one knows but the cat....
Hi ruru
when they are staring into space they are contemplating their name
at least 3 names
stuck on my final word!! can anyone clue th5/14?
we say they are "receiving messages" when they do th4, harp
our neighbor rescued a cat with one eye and she named him sammy davis jr.
I always wondered about that harp
wait - got it!
hooray :D
their ineffable effable effanineffable deep and inscrutible singular name
it's sort of like where you go to pick up a rx, pinny
serius black is also known as "snots" cause he sneezes like a 300 pund man and ..err stuff tends to fly
you can see why cats were associated with sorcery
oh, never mind - congrats!!!
yay!!!!pinny
nbt and nbs
better go get dressed for the theatre now (running late due to babbling)
i want to go to the theatre with pinny!!!!
(i don't think the boy who's taking me would be too happy if i brought friends along!)
depends - he might be into it....
ah, come on Pinny
but i'll do you a quick review upon my return, if you fancy ;)
(omg, did i just say that out loud?)
YAY, Pinny! WTG!!!
what are you seeing, pinny?
Hi nef
what are you going to, piiny?
'our class' at the national theatre in london
theatre in london! theatre in london....drooling now....
ooo lovely
lol ruru your cat got me thinking of don mclean songs now lol..way my mind works dont ya know..all twisted and convoluted
hi hego. I've got my head in the grid and come up for air every so often. Dh says we need to do *work* around here today (th** means he will start something and I finish everything else)
okay - nbt, nbs, center column grey, 55 left. taking a break to 'add value' -- back later to finish, hopefully!
Nef, this is normal male behavior!
my vet always looks a bit puzzled at Silverclaw's name
124 left
pardom me?...
Bye trif
and thinking about a second cuppa...
i fixed a light switch just yesterday..after a year and a half....
oh, I know. And I really don't mind as long as he cooks for me! ;-) I do complain though if his mess is worse than when he started
Cooking is the one thing I like to do.
and my wife can burn water,dont let her near the food
Nobody messes with my stove. Grrrr
I've asked husband to change the light bulb in my bedside light 3 times now. Each time he fixed a different light, just not my one
LOL, crossy. I can fix meals and get them on the talbe in less than 45 minutes; they are usually quite tastt; but I can never make the same thing twice. My kids used to joke th** dinner was ready when the smoke detector sounded though
when she tries to cook,she thinks everything must be on high,petal to the metal,turn the vlume to 11 and pull the knobs off sort of thing lol,usually ends in disaster
That's very funny Ata. Not for you of course.
I know LOL. The first time I was amused, the second time I was amused, it's slightly less amusing now!
She's not so dumb, Crossy
simmering something to her just means putting the surface flames out lol
I do the same, Crossy. It's why I only ever make pasta
Ata; is it somewhere you can't reach?
oh i know hego..she is playing ole crossy
heee heee!
but marriage is a long voyage of stalemates and concessions..nobody wins the war and if it goes on long enough both sides just surrender lol
noooo but last time I changed it's bulb, the glass sheet in it fell out and sliced my hand open. I refuse to change it any more!
Sounds good
ata,you should use an energy saver bulb in that one,they last for 5 years
I didn't mean you ata, I meant what Crossy said!
sounds dangerous, Ata. I'd buy a new lamp if he won't change it!
it's a halogen light, crosst
he can change it fine! it just hates me lol
im currently using an energy saver bulb in my kitchen light,one of those annoying glass globe ones you think will fall at anysecond..this bulb will enter its 6th year this jan
halogens are high power, Ata. get a different lamp
I need halogens in my study for around my drawing boards ...
lol i just got rid of some old outside lamp posts ata,they had the old mercury vapour bulbs.things are big as a turkey and when you turned them on lol..its the only time ive ever HEARD light come on lol
wow!!
meter was spinning so fast it got a speeding ticket with them things
SCARY!

That isn't you in the pic, rbud? Too bad
indeed;)

ouch!..the mrs just came back into the room
Not likely Preethi.
Crossy in dutch now
i think nobody had given the real pic of theirs
she just gently corrects my drifting mind from time to time
anyone got a bandaid?
No, Preethi, there are some real pics.
do you really need it cross
i put my ral pic up from time to time
real even
no,im just kidding preet,she is one of the good ones
That's good, Crossy because I'll forever think of you as this grinning doggy.
grinning doggy?
must need to trim my beard lol
You know, like your icon, only grinning.
thats a wolf,and he grins from time to time
wolves smile
Yup
though our timer wolves are much lighter in thier coat
timber even
he is my familliar the wife says,she dabbles in sh amanisim and animal spirits and all that other stuff
OOOOOooo. A witch lady.
good crossy i can imagine you with A PERSON EVEN APPRECIATING WOLF'S FACE
amanisim, eh?
well dont they all have a tad of witch?..crossy runs....
shamanism erda
YOU BETTER RUN!
ok how many more to go
Oh, I see it now -- 2 lines
babble expert seems to hiccup from time to time erda
Yup. Been there
Actually, Croosy I've done a lot of reading on ancient American Indian customs amd they're beliefs are interesting.
indeed hego,very much so
same as our first nations peoples
and inuit
hi hego r u interested in Indian customs
I meant native Americans Preethi. But I've done some reading by Indian writers too.
Some wonderful fiction comes out of India to us.
ive never been but im told that in areas of british columbia ,many of the old totems still stand
There are some in the American NW
if we were smart,we would give it all back :/
nowadays all the Indian customs have got American infuence
Pop culture seems to thrive everywhere.
But the original culture is lost and human values are extinguishing
sad indeed
i don't know if really diappears or just evolves.
it had no choice did it?
People always seem to retain something of their culture. They just add new stuff.
I differ Hego once you start having the influence slowly cmpromise on every thing
romans today aren't essentially different than they were 2,000 years ago.
They just have rock shows in the circus maximus now.
well,they dont feed people to the lions in the coloseum anymore lol
and have vespas
yeah, fireworks
Right Vespas
yaa for tc;)
Yay!! tc
thnx.............now for Sudoku
should of kept the togas though lol
and have a different religion; both old adn newer completely essential to life
looks good on the ladies
When some of the changes are for good some are really worst but only we have to differenciate between them
It's still all about what to wear. They're very chic.
some are lol
shh..wife is coming in the chat....
congrats tc
Yes, Preethi, It's hard to see old traditions die. I Know that.
"slap' i was here for a few minutes but you didn't notice me Crossy.
sigh...hello dear....
ok it is getting late and this is bedtime in India
Hi Mrs Crossy!

Bye brooke

Hi Scrabs
hi scrabs
76 for me. I just got home from work.
hey scrab
last wi 5?
wi4 upon a st4 and vowel
TY, Joanne
yvw
wi9
u get it eno?
yes ty!
ot words?
scrabs did you get to7 the small place kinda
ot cute animals
Scrabs, how are the little kiddies today. No bad illnesses I hope
ot and road surface and plural
yw eno and i only ask because i am not very good at cluing but i do try lol
I think you are doing pretty well Joanne - works for me!
anyone need a clue, I'm done
Congrats Bichon!
congrats bichon
well th4s i'm glad i can help
congrats bichon
yeah bichon
I have 12 left- I never make it
th4's great i meant
I don't play very often, but since I had time this weekend, I've actually finished
Woot Bichon!!
goooooooooooooooo kap
you can do it
last chance, any clues desparately needed. Or I'm off to walk Bichon
ho5(21)?
heck if i can anyone can
C'mon Kap!! You got 160! 12 more is a doddle!!!
plural
I mean ho6(21)
ho 5/12 and which one?
the flower
I had a crazy morning in the office--sent a 5 yr old to the local ER for IV fluids and tests---kidney infection. I will check on her in a minute to see if she can go home or to the Children's Hospital. Then I called an ambulance for a premie with resp distress.
I have the flower.
Yikes, I guess your small hospital doesn't have a NICU
pluralled
pl the flower
My God Scrabbler - all I did what get my hair cut - I feel so inadequate! :)
ho 6/27 is the 4,5 + adverbial ending
No, the premie is 8 mo old, but a former premie with chronic lung disease.
Double yikes, that sounds bad.
scrabs i don't know how you people do it
specially the mental part of it
I just do what I need to do and stay calm.
Someone needs to stay calm. The parents probably aren't
i would be a wreck...could never do that kinda job
The really bad stuff--cancer, death--that gets to me. I have a whole list of kids in my head, kids that have died.
last et?
nm got it
I get very nervous when I take care of my CA graddaughter who has nut allergies. Do you realize how many things you wouldn't even think of that have some nuts in them
Check labels, bichon.
Sounds like a girls name - uses the sometimes vowel in 4th place
fred and et... lucy and ricardos friends
Think of et*** Mertz, but different second vowel
She has two epi pens, but I'm always afraid I'll forget where they are
i remember when kids were small and we had light livingroom furniture and they were bouncing off the back of it
i kept telling them to stop,someone's gonna get hurt
Gotta go, Biscuit is holding his legs together. Bye
Keep the EpiPen + Benadryl in a red "fanny pack"
sure enough over goes the loveseat and son screaming
daughter not saying anything just holding her head
omg golfball size lump
i freaked
bye bichon
11 left but I'm still having trouble with the next-to-last ho6.
scrabs can I ask a quick question?
i put her on the bathroom sink and told her not to move while i got the ice
balling my eyes out
Yep, Ata...my mother is interrogating me now.
she says"mommy,why are you crying,i'm the one that hurt myself!!
Lot's of stuff going on here!
if a dr doesn't treat a patient due to his worry about the outcome of whatever he tries, is that officially malpractice or something?
again scrabs lol
she is very needy yes?
kaplan: when you receve guests you are a ho** + don't go post** over such a small matter...
It depends on the situation, Ata...
ho45 and stick to top right and sometimes vowel
sister, as you can imagine :P her surgeon is ignoring her emails and now ignoring her GP's emails and calls. We know perfectly well why he's doing it, he doesn't want to kill her on the op table, but it's beyond a joke now
did you get it yet kap
and I'm trying to write him a letter to explain this. Just from a different name so he won't hide when he sees a letter from sister!
I'm monkey typing like crazy but this one eludes me
kaplan -- ho 6 /21 is the plural of the plant before it
D-uh
That is negligence, Ata..not providing proper care. The doc can withdraw from case but after letter to patient and 30 days....rule here
and I'm trying to keep it very dry and factual, rather than get emotional
the ho4 with the most stick letter and sometimes vowel
How could I not see that?
is there anywhere where negligence rules are accessible? or it is always case-by-case?
you're bablind kap! It happens when we monkey too much!
joanne, you and the others have been clueing ho6/27
ata is there a medical review board in your city/country who you could call?
omg lol but i did clue the other too
Ata, there are laws in each area
Whats the stick letter?
the "go post**" clue doesn't work
l
the first th5- but I feel if I have to ask for help with all the ones I have left, then it's not really kosher
probably, wildcat, but I'm trying to get a vague understanding of the situation first, so I can ask intelligent questions later!
Thanks! I never knew that!
it's the same as using the list kap ... don't worry
And the go post** clue was off
th is like a beer mug
soodle, the "stick letter" is and L. We prefer not to clue with sticks, snakes, chairs, humps, etc, lol!
You mean I won't be cited on an ethics charge?
I have 10 left. See ya latter
Hi Jill
¨¨¨blushing¨¨¨¨¨¨Jillibus - sorry!
yvw sood
i know jill but again i say i suck at cluing
i tried everything else
we all live and learn, joanne :)
I know you did, but it was the wrong word, lol!
it's a valid question - you're not expected to know all the laws about this situation. does the dr really not want to treat her or does he just not know what to do?
serious i don't even know what half these words mean..and i am giving myself credit there lol
Well, now I know!!
Anyway, HI ALL!!!
hi jill
Hiya Jilli
thank god us women have good memories for weird words
the problem is that whatever he does is probably going to be life-threatening at best. That includes not doing anything, as well. He doesn't want to put her through any more than she's been through. It's an impossible situation, but he's nothelping
nobody knows what half those words mean, lol! But there's that ? beside the word which will tell you (most of the time)
last lo 5,18?
so sorry ata ... it sounds like it's a tough situation any way you look at it
you mean lo 6/18 ? It's the plural of the previous word
oh it is, it's impossible
no it's the previous word that I need :)
hi all
the previous word is lo5/10, and you'd be happy to win the lo***ry
ty
hi jes
ok byeee all have fun and a great night
bye joanne!
bye joanne
hi jes :)
Hello everyone.
hi bugs
Who won the sprint to the finish race last night jilli?
hi folks
help with last lo5/10 pls
clued at 2:01 peri and hi!
I don't know, bugs -- was v tired and went to bed -- or are you asking about the pre-flip?
thanks Enom and Jilli
(don't know that either, lol!)
lo5/10 -- you'd be happy and rich if you won the lo***ry
hi peri!
after the flip. Ruru, cybernan and someone else were zipping along so fast it was humiliating
got it from your earlier clue, jilli, thanks
oh yes -- nan and someone else (not ruru I think) were almost in a tie. Those speedsters just have to be overlooked for sanity's sake.
yw peri -- didn't know it was still alive ;)
I find I don't find words as well at the end of a long day and like to save some for the following evening.
phew finally done with the s words!
hi
tars
oops sorry
me too, bugs
I like that kind of clue Enomis
Yeah, me too
nm, eno, googies in the PB
You can do more spoilers if you want :P
*that's goodies
I have many more Bugsaw... but do not want to bore you all to death with the real words!
I know you guys are purist in your babble approach... LOL
((switching from boxes very carefully to avoid typing real words...)))
Eno, do you have a Mac or a PC?
Ahem - No Purists here, Eco! Feel free to clue to your hearts content!!
I do it all the time too. In fact I spend quite a bit of tme in the PB if I try to chat and search for words at the same time. Some people seem to be able do it and make quilts at the same time!
Mac why?
because if you had a PC you could get Babble Expert, but nm -- no good with a Mac :(
20 left, bbs
I know!!!! I used to have a pc and I miss Babble Expert so much...
bugs -- do YOU have a Mac?
so uch easier
much
No, a PC
I hate to tell you, but I won't get a Mac for that very reason -- talk about Babbladdiction!
1st th5?
somehow it lets me fail tho
Well, bugs, you can get Expert for free if you email Lickety and ask him to send you the link
grumble grumble I want my Babble expert back... but would never go back to a pc :)
I am using it. I like the word list on the same page as the clues but it has so many parts I am sure I don't use them all
th 5/12 rhymes with beer mug-st***
Don't you use Lickety Add?
Nope. Never clicked on it
What does it do?
ty luv
OOH!!!! You MUST! That's the main feature! If you type one word into Lickety Add it goes to the word list and to Lickety's list automatically. If you type more than one word it goes to the chat.
so I don't have to move the cursor all the time? That sounds too good to be true
Just try it!
I will try it out right now so if a word shows up in the chog, it was an honest mistake in the name of science.....
1st th 5,12? I am fading fast I think 17 left
Can I use that excuse too Bug?
sounds good to me Eno!
It worked and sent my message to the right place
I have 32 left but have to go and get lunch -- bridge date this aft.
yeah bug!
bye jilli
Now yer talkin', bugsy!
anybody can clue the 1st th 5,12?
thanks jilli. I hope you have fun today.
Enomis, the beer mug clue was the first th 5/12, there's a th 5/14 before that but i don't have it
bugs, just one thing about Lickety Add -- it you want to send a one-word message to the chog, you have to hit Ctrl + Enter. There are instructions around the box, as you can see.
the th 5, 14 rhymes with not cold but w***
does not get the beer mug clue...
eno, try th + German for one
I like how the whole box goes green if I am right and sends it to the list all at once, and how it goes red if I am wrong and blue when I send a message
And now I must go! Bye all! Happy Babbling!
Of course! I thought the st word was straw...
and bugs, it goes yellow if you've already entered the word
stop brgging Bugs - some MAC people are jealous ;)
Sorry, not trying to brag. Just ashamed I did not know it did this!
being quiet now....
Brag all you want, it is such a neat app
Resources is worth clicking on too -- you can get to Morewords that way ;)
The Icon Themes part is out of date -- Lickety built this a couple of years ago.
Morewords is the same as Licketys list isn't it?
done with the Ts... 13 left
yes, I had tried the themes box before
Not at all, bugs -- it lists words by length and alphabet
i must play with that part too then. thanks jilli. you have been a wealth of knowledge today!
Done with the Os..
I thought Lickety had included an explanation with his link.
ugh I need one H .. either a 4 or 6
I must go now!!!
which one wildcat
no idea not using list
there is 1 hy
changed my icon to a summer day in Afghanistan
I have 13 ha, 3 hi, 13 ho, 1 hy
have it how many ho?
you're missing one too enom
13 ho's
ha?
got it
14 ha's
you're right, it is 14 ha, 3 hi, 13 ho and 1 hy
correct, enomis
***F***I***R***E****W***O***R***K***S* **

Eno - you still there?

ok there's 2 sh 6/24's, 2 sh 6/21's, 1 sp 6/21, 1 sq 6/30, and 4 st 6/18's
so it's an sh6
6/24
let me look for a sec
1st sh 6/24 is sh 4/6 + ** the World Turns
soodle?
Enomise! this sounds like a pathetic request, but could you add me as a friend on Facebook, then I will ask you to be a neighbour cos I cant do anything till I get more neighbours? medickinson@eircom.net If this is too sad, just ignore me!!
2nd sh 6/24 is plural of sh 5/14
will do it right away
sh 6/21 is plural of sh 5/12
got it ty for the help and **fireworks**
congrats wildcat!
love, enomis, soodle? wow, I miss mid-day babbling! hey all!
YAY wildcat!
Oh thank you. I have loads of money etc, but not enough neighbours to advance. (Just call me Billy No Mates!!)
hi stid!
:)
Hi Stid!!!
I just hate to list when I only have 5 or less to go!
but I know I'm a pain in the **** for those I'm asking for help
np wildcat, I give you lots of credit for being able to complete with going to list
how's the grid? I have spent three hours studying, and ready to play for a while!
now to be semi-productive today ... bbye
done soodle
Hey Luv! I love clueing! It makes me feel less stupid!
hey stidmama!

grid is fun stid...
thanks Enomis, fun is a good thing.

it worked soodle!
as 4/7 what remains after a fire, using the sometimes vowel

That's just silly. Got it tx.
Tx Soodle

Put it down to a bottle of Lidl's finest!!!

tx to you both the h's are grey. What a lovely sight!
Mo, why do you not have the union jack as your flag?
what excuse have I got ... a big whisky and 2 glasses of wine? !!!
LOL mo
what is Lidls finest?
I'll see your whiskey and wine, and raise you a half bottle of lidl's finest....
Cheap and nasty (and potent) wine!!
hego ... it is the flag of England.
You are too funny, you two! LOLOL
or a bit "tiddly" ... lol!
I know that, Mo. It's saint George's cross, i think, and part of the union jack.
(Actually, I would quite fancy a whikkey)
must try Lidls booze!!!
I guess it depends on what you list as your country.
Cheap n Cheerful, MO!
or gockle of geer!!!
If you said United kingdom, you'd get the jack, maybe.
back for a bit, how's everyone?
Hey, pour me one, will you?
While I'm droning on about flags, you two are having fun!
Hego - most peeps on the British Isles are very terratorial. You can be Irish, British, Welsh, or Scots. Its terribly significant to us! Am I right, MO?
hego ... yes ... I was born in England ,but I am still British ... it can get complicated!
I'm up on it Mo.
Soodle ... you have hit the nail on the head,so to speak.
I think you're all lovely!!!
Ahhh!

ho6,27 clue please?
Hi, kids. I survived another Thanksgiving with the in-laws. Traffic was hell on the way home.
glad you made it back safely, judi!
clue for the last (3rd) 4/5 - 5/12 combo please
that is the ha 4/5 - 5/12 combo
*sipping wine*
good for you judi, want some bailey's?
Yes, harp. Just pass the bottle along with a bendy straw.
same 2/3 cup for my chiffon pie
i mean SAVE 2/3 cup
Sorry. I
I'll just have to suck up the chiffon pie along with the Bailey's.
Oh dear. I'm slurring my chat.
well then you have to be patient, cuz who knows if the pie will make it!
anybody have the ho6,27?
not me jes
Nope. No ho6/27 yet. I just started.
Phantom: Hotties. No help. Just wishful thinking.
like a person who gives a party, judi
hahahahaha! got it. it's a stupid word. stupid, i say.
Can anybody give me a clue for the first SO 4/4 and 5/10,. Pleaes
but at least i don't feel like my last word was totally fishy
Ah. Yes. Stupid. I concur.
so is flying
er. that's the SO words, not that flying is stupid.
in case you were confused.
Flying is not stupid. I would much rather fly than drive. Having my own personal helicopter and pilot would be a dream.
i think Jingle Cats might cure me of listening to christmas music for a while....
All Christmas music must burn in hell.
I'm be saying that after i emerge from the Churhc Musician Vortex in January, Judi....
I'm such a Scrooge. Sorry. I'm all for Peace On Earth and Goodwill toward men (and women and children and animals, of course). But Christmas music has got to go.
oy I concur Judi, but then, I'm Jewish so I'm allowed lol
*throws Dredle song onto the bon fire* I probably spelled that wrong.
but I definately concur with the peace on earth etc etc....live and let live I say
lol think it's dreidl...but it's bonfire for sure
bbl dinner has arrived
Off to dinner as well. Tomorrow and tomorrow! *POOF*

hello all, in the middle of reading a story so I can help stidkid #2 with some homework...
No Mama...... I didn't. Tuesday this coming week
hey monkey! any more monsoons hit recently? LOL
no thank goodness , stiddles
oh! I thought it would be sooner. oh well... *uncovers mound of guilt-free choclits for aussime*
they had to cut my arm to get the remainder out. They said I now have to have it in my right arm.
what the heck r u talking about
ouchie! *owie face*
**takes a guilt-free, calorie-free choclit**
moi? talk? j' comprend pas...
boy I wish you hadn't asked th** Stid. Poor Aussie
Ok, Monkey, to cut a story short.... I had the pill implant in my arm on Monday. They took three attempts to get it in. It pushed out and snapped in the night, and half was in my arm, half was in my bandage.
sorry lynxxx... didn't realize it was quite so gory!
oh my
*worried look*
I had to go to the docs to get remainder out..... They cut my arm open (little cut), got it out, and left me to heal for a week. Tuesday, I have to go have it done again, in the other arm !
poor aussie
I am fine though, it healed quite well :)
wouldn't it jsut be easier to get the tubes tied, like i did?
good for you aussieme, you are a strong, brave woman *proud friend look*
I have 6 left! lo6 still has me messed up
Well, they said it might stop me bleeding altogether, which would be good, considering I have had nightmare periods !
go kaplan go!
"sorry for talking shop while more important things are being discussed
hmmm doctor has been trying to get me to swap, not the first 'incident' I have heard of, I will be telling him to get stuffed on that one!!
Kaplan... lo6..... lo + double consonant + 2nd vowel + snake letter

*wondering why male birth control isn't being discussed...*
Kap - do you have lo4.4 (1st one) put a silent letter on tHe end
Katie, not fun to have done, but good when it works !
I thought I had the one that was like a bunch of Miss Lenya running around.
lol.... My hubby said he would go get "The CHOP"..... I said, what if we decide to have another Baby ??
I am missing the lo6 that is the 8th word on the lo list
Char*****'s WEb
Kaplan - did yoiu see my clue @7.13 - just plural it
ra6/24 please
I have the continuous pill which is the same as the implant and I am happy with it but every 6 months we go round the houses on alternatives and then agree if I am happy we can keep it as it is *sign*
nevermind
ra6.24 makes a lot of noise when you shake it
I have to remind him every 6 months that I haven't had any children so what he is pushing me to is not appropriate!!!
Ok darlings, it's 01:16am..... I am off to find my pillows...... Sweet Dreams Babble Family.... Luffs you all !
We were done having babies, wanted permanent solution. Glad we did! pregnancy was not easy, and birth and afterward were horrible for me... can't take hormones because of side effects. So only way to avoid pregnancy was...

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hiya... just babbling absentmindedly while I watch sappy christmas movies
I feel more midnightish myself today, just can't believe how much work is left to do for the last couple weeks of the quarter. I DID work on my things this week, but don't feel I accomplished enough.
jmc, that's exactly it... just let the feeling wash over you and go with it
good ideas gals, thanks!
but the trick is to put it behind you the next day
wish we lived closer Trifi, we could all hang out, drink wine and listen to da blues
and put bubble bath in the jacuzzi...
good one, stidlicious!
ooooooh. *liking stidlicious*
yeeeeeees me too
i like to call Trifisos "Tri fecta" or "Tri Delta"
bubbles wine is sounding lovely....

wine for me!
I will stick to my jack but thankyou
you could also call me elizabeth, lilmonkey, that works too!
....going to make myself a drink, I think
and you could call me Laurie :) My co-workers call me French Toast

*er scrabs
LOL "jmc gets cousins mixed up" how's that for a headline?
my favorite "type" of rain is what my brother calls "duck piss", it's just enough to use the wipers for and just as annoying
Hi mcurlschool! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
TY--brain is appraoching REM stage..23 to go
yw
my favorite name for rain is what my grandmother called spitting
cute, curly
hi mcu
doing great min.....trying to catch up on sleep
today coming home from critter sitting duty the rain was the mist that covers the car but the wipers don't really have anything to wipe so they just smear road grit around.
know that well,
ewww, I hate that kind, too, stid!
yep. *sigh* my life has come down to knowing the types of rain....
thankfully, it didn't rain on my drive today :)
that's good, pini. a long drive to do in the wet. have done it many times!
Do PNW people have names for all the different kinds of rain like Esquimeaux have 11 different names for snow?
yeah, did it last weekend; wasn't pretty
stid...just think of it as a badge of honor...think of all the poor people in the country that don't have a clue what that means
not sure, tor...haven't thought about it much
There's Scotch mist . . .
hi all
Hi Jill

down to 18... perhaps I should list
lol
any more help with the ra6?
ty, stid. I would have gotten it faster if I hadn't read vowel and thought consonant.
Stid put the word into the chat. ra6 = word for loose window perhaps
So has anyone gotten the th5,14 yet?
jmc, stid gave the best clue at 8:53
hi again. ra 6= when something is loose, if you shake it it's ra6/24
oo I so didn't see th4 since I was heading to the pb myself

It's a nailbiter!
Why are you doing homework before Sunday night?
okay... I have rewritten the paper, have about 18 more essay questions to work on (some of which need explication before I can fully answer).
who is doing homework?
Ditto on wht's question, stid!
Should I continue to work on the paper tonight/tomorrow or the essay question.
what do you need help with, stid?
Because it's a master's level program, and I feel very behind.
Do the hardest thing first ..
the essay question so to take a break from the paper
the paper needs better support in areas that are specific and limited.
Essay questions, stid, paper's done, yes?
the essay questions are individually shorter...
I'd do the essay question too (if you haven't started it)
6 left
...still wondering, tho, tor, is wahey a word?
yes, I think the essay questions, you're right I need a break from the paper.
Go, Nef, go!!
go nef go
thanks! (go nef go!)
Break it off with the paper, stid, start a new relationship with the essay (questions)!
Whacha need, nef, any clues?
33 seconds for TN to score, or it goes into overtime!
I'll wait until tomorrow then, since the essay stuff requires me to get about 8 books open simultaneously.
any Hi word?
*kicks back and waits for tomorrow to come, and hopes tomorrow takes its time*

well, yes, just for tonight though. Lab final on Monday. But brain on overload
I'm a slow and error-making typer. Thumbs still splinted
why are your thumbs splinted?
ick. finals. papers. come sit next to me and we'll drown our college kid sorrows in choclits and cheap beer.
*ditto LBD's question*
housework? what's housework?? *looking in PB for a cabana boy*
sounds great to me Stidmama
I am not sure how my brain can take in anymore new info
hey Judy! how was your turkey day? nephew run you ragged?
ruru, none ARE is a common error. And so is "there ARE a number of errors." You wouldn't say "There are a number."
so much to learn in Anatomy and Physiology
Hi judy
you need to give your brain a rest, Phan and Stid. let it absorb all the information.
CJ!!
Stid, aren't cabana boys supposed to like the ladies?
Well, Stid, I didn't poison anybody so it was a good day!! LOL
LBD!!
Hi Jilli
but.. the cabana boyS was plural?
hi cio!
Hiya JMC! How was your lunch today?
doesn't matter to me, jill -- as long as they are sweet and obedient and cute! LOL
lbd, the arthritis has been bad with my over-doing things; the doc is trying th** before steroids (allergic to advil and aspirin type meds)
good for you judy!
the boys in the cabana ARE.. more than one boy. only one cabana
did pini run away earlier?
it was very nice cio though only DC, Tom and Lil and me
(now has to order cute ones for stid)
no, ruru, it's "none" which is modified in that sentence.
went to the Lighting of the Vineyard at a local winery tonight
OWIE, Nef. the cortizone does help tho
Well, JMC, I hope to make the next one. Looking forward to it.
hmm you are probably right there professor
we were talkng about some time in early May
golly nef, sounds pretty extreme. I developed problems with ibuprofen this year, so my hip pain has been unmedicated for several months (the things that don't cause problems don't work) -- at least the hip itself is improving or I would be a basket case. long story short, you have my empathy
...darn...
and cortisone injection did help the hip this summer.
wonderful, JMC
Yes. lbd, if that was the sentence, but it wasn't. None = not one. So it's "Not one of the boys IS . . ."
i'ts okay ru. i have to diagram those type of sentences to make sure i'm doing them right. it's a common mistake
arthritis sucks!
that's not a lot of people jmc, but glad it happened. I forgot it was today. not that I could have made it, though Tom actually considered it (briefly)
so could I have a clue for the WE 5/20 pls
ditto CI
well there is always May
No we words, phan
CJ...sigh monkeys are mischievious tonight
wi 5/20 is the magic wi** + vowel
Opps meant WI
there is no WE word
serious lag on my computer suddenly. I think that's my cue to take a break.
magic wi**
when you wi** upon a st$
frustrating, isn't it, stid!
thnks got it
urgh, did i say my monkeys were misbehaving?
new computer here. LOVIN' IT!!! Finally works at a decent speed!!
ty lbd
I have several reasons to not want the cortisone (diabetes being the main one); but I'm afraid I'll have to try it since the splints aren't helping (and with working and sweaty hands, th** stink after a while)
yippee for new computer!!
WH 5 last one?
back tomorrow sometime, will spend a few minutes knitting while I watch TV with my fellas
I agree lbd. LOL
My computer worked at a decent speed when it was new, but I've loaded it up with so much stuff, the poor thing, it's obese.
wh*** house is on fire?
see ya Stidmama take care
Nite Stid. Hi to Tom and Stidkids!
nightnight, stiddy
Bye for now, stid, have a good time with your guys.
bye stiddy

what movie?
ruru,you've never heard of spuds?
I think Yul Brynner was a Ta5
I think people spell them taters...
granny, spuds are brit and canadian
curse of the demon w/ dana andrews
I think that was Tony Randall that was a Ta5
also aussie, jilli
hmm. haven't seen it. good?
well, aussie = brit even more than canadian does
need to walk the dog.. before the flip bbrb
maybe,maybe.....
and clues have to result in words spelled correctly? since when ru?
abso facto scary jes - it's about runes and fire demons
spuds are U.S. too
LOL, jmc!
bye, ruru
coolies
yeah, like Idaho...spud st5 of the USA!
coolies
???
we had coolies of all sorts in China
for the movie, jam.
Is there another meaning? Like smoothies?
mashed spuds and sausages. lots of butter, can you hear my cholesterols rising?
glad to know, pini
hah. no, jilli, it's just even slangier than "cool"
bangers and mash
sounds yummy, granny
ooo coolio!
jilli - my husband's grand parents and father and aunts were in china. we have some very interesting stories
bangers and mash, and mushy peas
Where in China, rennie?
we had leftover turkey on lefse for dinner
mushy peas???
but the mash has to be just right, not runny, and definitely not claggy
oooohhh, jilli, will be right over
claggy?
very special, pini, very brit -- but available here
pini, sort of dry and sticks to the roof of your mouth
mushy peas sounds like pea soup?
nope, not like pea soup, much more solid
not quite, pini, very soft steamed/boiled peas
we have fotos of the bubbling well china park hotel in singapor
Don't know anything about Singapore -- not part of China ever. But there was Bubbling Well Road in Shanghai.
I'll have to think about the mushy peas...
*thinking of Gerbers*
yum, gerbers!
okay, i give up, how did gerbers get into this conversation?
chun king china is one place
Pini, they are specially treated dried peas. We can get them cooked in cans
I'm guessing it's an acquired taste?
hi everyone
Chunking I know about -- WW2 capital of China for a while. My dad did business there.
hey flosey
Jilli, are they labelled "mushy peas?
Hi flosey :)
