flippity flop

12:00 am

12:00 am

SQ 6

12:00 am

sorry to hear, stid...if it were me, I'd probably wait until Tom gets back

12:00 am

so... no ideas other than telling him to stay off computers for the near future???

12:01 am

well, for the time being anyway

RE 6/7

12:01 am

Problem is, of course, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends... all are "available" through his Gmail address book. HE will either lose all his contacts, or they will start to receive random email of as-yet undetermined content.

Clues are up

12:02 am

I have let a few folks know already...

12:02 am

thx lickety

12:02 am

the cmp should have done a backup if you haven't disabled it. But you'll lose your work and have to change all your passwords

12:02 am

LICKETY!!!! computer advice? Do you have time????

12:02 am

LE 6

12:02 am

hmmm...

12:02 am

Thank you, Lickety!!

12:02 am

phant tsarevna

12:02 am

flip

12:02 am

that's true hoot, but I don't know what he had set up.

12:02 am

Thanks, Lickety!

12:02 am

good phantom, gremliin

12:03 am

I guess I can only wait. I no longer have full knowledge of the systems Tom has set up either -- being in school has curtailed both time and interest in the background workings of our IT setups.

12:04 am

I'm trying to remember....I think it's in control panel

12:04 am

I think I missed something, stid -- big computer problem?

12:04 am

sorry I can't help, stid :(

12:04 am

I am relatively sure my computer (running XP) is uncompromised; I have seen a few threads that Windows 7 is allowing things like this to happen.

12:04 am

Okay, I will check it out tomorrow, thanks hoot. I hate feeling so un-knowledgeable!

12:04 am

microsoft hasn't the foggiest notion how to make a cmp safe!

12:05 am

Oh boy -- my new laptop has Win 7.

12:05 am

anyway... I am thinking that perhaps ALL of us should make sure we have a hard copy of the people who are in our online address books... so we can at least notify people if things like this happen.

12:05 am

Since I stopped working things have changed a lot. Used to be able to ask people

12:05 am

What's a cmp?

12:05 am

cmp = computer

12:06 am

computer

12:06 am

I rarely actually trust Windows... I only have it because of Lickety's list, to be honest.

12:06 am

in 7 if not called

12:06 am

Oh. <blush!>

12:06 am

well I hope you get it figure out stiddy

12:07 am

oh don't be silly jilli.

12:07 am

so, that is now officially more than an hour worrying, and discussing this issue. I must get back to my real work. I have THREE major things due at 10 tomorrow morning, and TWO major things due Friday, and MORE major things due next week. 9 more days to sleeping in...

12:07 am

thanks mel.

12:07 am

I've been known as Silly Jilly for years, lol ;)

12:07 am

I'll see you-all as soon as I can! *poof*

12:07 am

good luck stid

12:07 am

that in 7 goes with a 6 lol

12:07 am

bfn stid

12:08 am

If you have an Office depot nearby they seem to have knowledgeable problem solvers....But they do charge for the clean-up

12:08 am

heheheh

12:09 am

bye stid - sorry coudn't do better

12:11 am

I'm watching Dancing with the Stars...

12:11 am

lots of plurals in here

12:11 am

me, too, jilli

12:11 am

The finals...

12:11 am

s obvious who wins lol

12:11 am

yep

12:12 am

ok the 10 has to be a compound word but I cannot find it yet

12:12 am

wow that's some time delay jilli -

12:12 am

meliae i cant find it either its drivng me nuts

12:12 am

Pacific time, hoot.

12:13 am

what's obvious MLFAn17?

12:13 am

its probably some arcahic word that has not been used in the last 50 years except in some scientific magazine written at the south pole, LOL

12:13 am

no doubt, meli ;)

12:13 am

mel nah we wouldnt get that lucky lol

12:14 am

mlf says it's obvious who wins but I don't think so and don't want to know.

12:14 am

Yeah but I'd expect it to be on the same time as I get it and that was 8 central ---so what? 10 pacific

12:14 am

jill not gonna tell you dont worry lol

12:14 am

8 central is 6 Pacific (too early)

12:14 am

I won't tell you and obvious is not something you find on that show!

12:15 am

But jill it was a good finale

12:15 am

ok - but it's 12:15 now so there is a delay

12:15 am

hoot rarely

12:15 am

oh this was a great season!

12:15 am

when did you see it? I'm watching the ABC channel from (I think) Seattle.

12:16 am

8pm ct

12:16 am

for me it ended two hrs ago

12:16 am

clue for n word left row of grid?

12:17 am

no4

12:17 am

ST 7 if not called

12:17 am

st 8

12:17 am

Ti 6

12:18 am

ty

12:18 am

well that ST 8 isnt related i know that much

12:18 am

almost half way. then sleep

12:18 am

I wish someone would explain to me how calling these combos is not clueing? Whish is supposedly not done for the first hour!

12:19 am

mkg did you get the 10?

12:19 am

combo isnt that specific in helping hoot

12:20 am

we always call out the longer words the first few mins its like a race to find good ones

12:20 am

baloney!

12:20 am

yes we do mel

12:20 am

I usually don't after Lickety puts clues up, because there's no point, everyone has access to all the two letter starts at that point

12:21 am

hoot not waiting until the second hour isnt an actual rule its omething someone made up or some agreed upon we can clue any tgime

12:21 am

time

12:21 am

but if you notice, they don't use it. They'd rather ask someone for them.

12:21 am

I hardly ever see the long words at the start. I like to watch them grow later.

12:22 am

jill sometimes they stuc out some times they just dont at the beginning huh?lol

12:22 am

hootowl: I have no idea who uses the clues and calls words they haven't actually found

12:22 am

I dotn like to see real clues for at least the first hour but stats dont bother me

12:22 am

i know it's not a usual "rule". Just seems silly to say one thing and do something else.

12:23 am

i have never done that grem kind of interesting huh?

12:23 am

I agree hoot--certain people don't want to put in any effort & just get 'spoon fed"

12:23 am

clues are different I think that is what people refer to as the "no clues" un written rule lol

12:23 am

I freely admit I am more than peeved at some of the stuff going on here. How come no one remembers a word from the day before?

12:23 am

correct mel

12:23 am

I remember most words from the day before.

12:23 am

If you think about it, any hour could be the next player's "first" hour.

12:24 am

exaxctly nonnie

12:24 am

15 minutes after flip is everyones 1st hour

12:24 am

the hour from the flip is what most refer to

12:24 am

<-----spoon

12:25 am

12:25 am

12:26 am

12:26 am

grem I am excluding you from my venting. And I never said anything about people claiming something they didn't do!

12:26 am

I do not spoon feed

12:27 am

I didn't say anyone did - I'm just paranoid about it.

12:27 am

thx jilli

1:08 am

yw -- so easy to miss!

1:29 am

Where did everyone go?

Hi Jilli, just arrived, early for me.

1:32 am

hello sally -- what time is it for you?

7.30am, but I have been up since 6 this morning because of a fire next door in their barn. 6 fire engines, water bowser and two other vehicles! No-one and no horses hurt, thank goodness.

1:33 am

morning

I should say those were the vehicles that came, not what was in the barn.

Hi Katie

1:34 am

Oh my, that would wake anyone! Glad there are no injuries.

1:34 am

exciting morning sally

1:34 am

Hi katie :)

My husbahd heard explosions at 5.45 which woke us.

1:35 am

What exploded?

We called fire brigade but luckily owners were there and had called them. Only one horse in the stables at the time which they got out, the others were in the field (which runs from them and behind our land).

Not sure what exploded but owner said possibly diesel

1:38 am

I'm assuming that no one was hurt

No, no-one hurt Katie, and only one horse in stable next door which they got out OK. Owner said there was £23,000 worth of hay/straw which had just been delivered though. Didn't like to ask about insurance at that time of morning!

1:51 am

100 words, better go and get ready for work, see you all later x

1:51 am

bye katie

1:53 am

Can't stop yawning -- 172/47 so I'm heading for bed. Goodnight, anyone here or lurking -- *poof*

Bye for now both.

2:20 am

Didn't think ve7/40 would be a word

2:33 am

fireworks

2:34 am

You rock, anike!

2:39 am

morning all

3:13 am

Good morning, sprite.

3:13 am

Hello Haz

3:13 am

We've got blue skies but a fresh wind. How's the weather with you?

3:14 am

cold and overcast. A rather dark day.

3:15 am

That's not so good! I know we need rain and everything, but sunshine days are so much more heartening.

3:15 am

we had a good series of days. I hope things will clear up soon. My girl just left for school camp, will be on her bike a lot the next 3 days.

3:16 am

I hope she enjoys it! Is it just her class or is there a whole mixture of ages?

3:17 am

Just her class. 7th grade is out as well but to a different location. She was as hyper as can be. So sweet.

3:18 am

And are they actually camping in tents or are they in other accommodation?

3:19 am

helloooo

3:19 am

we aren't supposed to know until after they leave, but since they didn't need to bring sleeping bags and such, I am quite certain it will be something farmlike.

3:19 am

Hello, Ata.

3:19 am

hi Ata *hugs* How's the leg and did you bounce back well from overdoing things?

3:20 am

Yes, I think the lack of sleeping bags would be a clue - unless they're making them forage from the land!

3:20 am

good morning everybody

3:20 am

erm well ... my medial ligament is fine. good news. my anterior cruciate is busted. not so good news! but at least we know now!

3:20 am

hi haz

3:20 am

llo sprite

3:20 am

Good morning, ruby.

3:21 am

hehehe that would be pretty rough on some of them. Caya would be fine, she isn't spoiled and knows how to camp rough. But some.... ouch!

3:21 am

hellooo ata, how is your leg? Will you be "hopping"{ down to London on Friday?

3:21 am

hi rubyfoo

3:21 am

Oh poor Ata, not such good news.

3:21 am

that was "hello" on three cups of expresso, sprite!

3:21 am

argh Ata, not too good news. What is the plan?

3:22 am

rubyfoo, calm down, I already had one super hyper girl today ;)

3:22 am

I think we'll have to see after physio tomorrow! Getting to the hospital for the MRI exhausted me for 2 days lol!

3:22 am

*looking up cruciate in the meantime. Sounds so painful!*

3:23 am

I can imagine! I'll be at the Copthorne Tara on Scarsdale place in Kensington, 020 7872 2000

3:23 am

have a few minutes before insurance agent arrives; I'm trying to negotiate a better rate (in French!) and husband won't deal with it!

3:24 am

am a bit fed up of it all today!

3:24 am

found it. Physio indeed. Take care, Ata! And MRIs are doing that to people. Not just the whole being up and about plus hospital thing, but the MRI especially.

3:25 am

I can imagine, Ata. Due for a good hissy fit.

3:25 am

if not this trip, ata, another one then. The last thing you need is pressure from a virtual stranger!

3:26 am

I'll be there anyway, still trying to organize food for B and the pups. You'd think I was going away for a month, not 3 days

3:26 am

and B keeps saying "Don't feel guilty" Have a good time"

3:26 am

but the last thing you need to is spend the time worrying about starving pups!

3:27 am

Just make sure there's gruel in the house.

3:27 am

"let them eat kibble"

3:27 am

I prepared 3 frozen risotto dinners for them; B just needs to add water and cook them

3:29 am

what a nice grid! just jumped in

3:29 am

smooth as baby bottoms

3:30 am

hard to remember as son is 46! lol

3:31 am

too early still for the package :(

3:32 am

it will be interesting to see how long it takes. I've ordered several, to US and UK, and haven't heard from anybody

3:32 am

I hope it's worth waiting for!

3:32 am

it better be, lol

3:34 am

Haz and Ata eyedeep in4 the grid or into private conversation?

3:35 am

neither!

3:35 am

No, I'm here. Trying to get spanner to work so that we can have a spanner in the works, but no go.

3:35 am

Spanner might need thumbs for that?

3:36 am

I just need to move the letter, but it won't go.

3:36 am

that useless R in the corner should have been an S

3:37 am

It would have improved things, you're right.

3:38 am

for lack of that S, this grid is, not lo4, but done

3:39 am

my dog Wants Something, but I don't know what!

3:39 am

What is your dog doing?

3:39 am

she wants You, All Well! Now!

3:39 am

pesting at me! constantly!

3:40 am

Is she staring and then backing away? Or batting you with her paw?

3:40 am

batting

3:40 am

Usually Spangle wants attention with the batting. Keep stroking! Don't stop! Love me!

3:41 am

I am! I am! But I need hands to type!

3:41 am

maybe i'll let her out for a wee and see if that solves things

3:41 am

hehehe question answered.

3:41 am

If she doesn't want a wee, you'll get that 'She doesn't understand me' look.

3:42 am

Ok, as said, fireflies, so I am off. Have a good day, all of you. Ata, all the best.

3:42 am

Congratulations, sprite! have a good day.

3:47 am

hmm. apparently grass needed to be eaten

3:47 am

Get the buckets ready for sick!

3:48 am

yep! administering charcoal bonios

3:49 am

You're well prepared.

3:50 am

they are essential!

3:51 am

(Making note for next shopping list)

3:51 am

they usually help stem the flow, as it were!

3:53 am

I must tell you about the funeral we were at yesterday. It was one of husband's old bosses who had died - 86 and had still been doing a bit of TB testing up until this winter. The church was full to overflowing with farmers and we sang 'All things bright and beautiful'. It was sweet. And the surgery closed for 2 hours as a mark of respect - unprecedented!

3:53 am

awwww how lovely! And wow, great respect! And did every chihuahua have an injured paw during the 2 hours?

3:54 am

We did leave two of the younger vets in the surgery to man the phones in case of emergency, but it looked as though most farmers were at the funeral.

3:55 am

now that shows you've lived a good and loved life

3:55 am

And the normal surgery hour (2-3) was cancelled, but an extra hour tacked onto the evening one.

3:56 am

He was a nice man. He had great difficulties pronouncing L (like Alex Ferguson) so he used to leave messages saying 'Tell S that there's a wam wam coming into the surgery (a ram lamb).

3:57 am

you really should write the NI Herriot version

3:57 am

I could employ a ghost writer.

3:58 am

FM!

3:58 am

oh gosh, the tennis tart on tv again. ugh.

3:59 am

The one with little clothing and even less sense?

3:59 am

yep!

One of the farms husband goes to is overrun by cats. The farmer lives in his car, the cats have taken over the house and the yard has stacks of cat food tins. He insists on checking under husbands car before he leaves to make sure that no cat has stowed away.

4:03 am

!!!

4:04 am

Literally, the man lives in his car. It's a bit bizarre, to say the least.

4:04 am

isn't that called animal hoarding?

4:04 am

It's called madness.

4:05 am

that too

4:06 am

Why would a cat stow away when it's got the run of a house? Unless it's had a row with some of the others or wants to be a travelling cat and see the world.

4:06 am

exactly! cats know when they've got a good thing

4:06 am

is he a good farmer??

4:07 am

I don't know, he's not got huge numbers of animals or anything so probably just scrapes by. Enough to keep the cats in Kittycat.

4:08 am

that's distinctly not normal

4:08 am

We do have some 'characters' to contend with.

4:09 am

Okay, must head off and get something else done. Be good and I'll be back later!

4:09 am

*gone*

4:09 am

does he look after the cats? I presume so! Bet he doesn't neuter them all though!

4:09 am

bye dear!

Hello

4:34 am

hi herin

I have my phantom for the day

4:36 am

which is?

INsanity

4:44 am

good one!

It is one of the day

4:53 am

hello all...

STiiiiiid

4:54 am

It's really late (or early) here... how does WEdnesday look to you?

4:54 am

(((hugs lady)))

4:54 am

hi stiddy

4:54 am

Atalante, are you ready for your tap dancing lessons to resume??? *innocent mama look*

4:54 am

loool I wish!

4:55 am

I just wanted to announce that the stidkid got LUCKY. His gmail wasn't actually hacked after all -- I got it figured out and restored... with a password that will make him cringe *WICKED mama look*

My head hurts

4:55 am

so I have to pull EVERYTHING together for the morning because I know I won't have the energy to get up early, but wanted to stop by since I was up anway...

4:55 am

loool go you!

4:56 am

*gets cool chamomile tea for lady*

4:56 am

did you get YOUR grad school conundrum figured out Atalante (I think it was 2 days ago, your time)

4:57 am

I wrote an "author's note" to one of my faculty saying that what I turned in as a draft last week will just have to do... after spending multiple HOURS tonight working on the email problem, I didn't have time or energy to redo writing.

I think my school sucks in the sense they gave 3 awards to 3 girls that live at home with wealthy parents and don't have to do stuff all other than their work

4:58 am

sort of. I have to write the truth, whether that's what they want to hear or not. We are being asked to evaluate something. So I'm evaluating it!

Ata your leg sucks :(

4:58 am

I know!

what they doing?

4:59 am

Good for you. I am going to evaluate the H-E-double hockey sticks out of this program... in another week when I have time.

5:00 am

that sux indeed, lady. I didn't even try for scholarships this year -- was too upset about the way the program made me feel and too worried about my prospects for continuing.

5:01 am

Right now, though, I am on a temporary "can do" kick -- I think I have a chance at continuing... just need to think long and hard about the way that I will engage with actual school in the winter quarter when I won't have any contact with children I am teaching.

See i think it is total bullcrap. People like you or people from OS that have no family here or people like me that have no family in Melb or enough spare money to support me or mental health issues and just do their best

I think society just likes to kick people when they are down

5:02 am

not being annoying, but for all you know, those girls *could* have significant issues at home / with health etc. We don't always know when appearances are perfect

Um Ata no they don't

And Ata your cat is a little mutant

5:02 am

well that's annoying then

5:03 am

lol isnt she just

5:03 am

LOL well, I shall leave you ladies to discuss annoying cats and classmates. I have just sent the last job to the printer, so will punch holes, compile notebook and pretend the rest of the work is "good enough."

Ok my car broke. Insurance is $8000 but I got a $10000 car because my parents helped. How the hell does a 19 year old get a $8000 car to start with

5:03 am

(((hugs and choclits))) I miss you! *poof*

I think i am just shirty because I didn't go out Sat night and missed seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in an age and I had a huge test

Loves Stid

5:04 am

lool probably, and justifiably!!

I feel like doing the 5 thing and just stamping my feet

Stid you will be fine

5:05 am

do it! it usually helps :P

Or I just sleep with the fat kitty who gave me a fat lip

5:08 am

awwwwww hi kitty!

Yep She stretched out and scratched me

5:09 am

Sily slept under my duvet last night, curled in a ball between my feet

awww

Panny slept on the bed in the middle

hence the face scratch

actually the underside of my top lip

5:13 am

bad pandora!

5:15 am

hello Ata & Infernal - and anyone else around

5:15 am

hi lyn!

HI Lynn

Ata It was not her fault. She stretched and stuck her claws out

5:16 am

awwwww. and you just got in the way

5:16 am

Were you two around a couple of days ago when were were talking names with Nono?

5:17 am

sort of

5:18 am

She is one brave lady, she let out that it was her husbands funeral on Monday, I don't think she wanted to burden anyone here

5:18 am

yes, she is! She did mention he'd died, a few days before, but only briefly. She and FM are heroines!

I do send my love to Nono

I am confused how FM fits in the equasion but that is ok

5:22 am

a similar situation happened to her a few years ago

*(sorry went of to feed hatchlings on FB and feed)

and channel surfing as Lost is about to start

5:31 am

Ace of Cakes is on cable

there is too much on tv tonight My remote button is getting a work out

5:34 am

That's a co-incidence, english pa5.12 is in the grid

5:34 am

yay Lost!

so far No one has spoilt it

and if they do I will find them and send a very large virus to their pc

I figure ti saves me watching 6 seasons

right kidos I am going to go watch lost and chillax

5:40 am

bye Infernal

have a great day/night

5:44 am

I'm going to go and lay down. fed up today!!! bbl :)

5:45 am

bye Ata, Sily & Hobbit are going to keep you company I bet

5:46 am

oh yes :D

5:47 am

enjoy

5:58 am

morning all, help with lower A pls

6:00 am

nm

Morning Babblers

6:07 am

hi there NoNo, how are you holding up?

ok, i think peri.

just feel sort of empty this morning

6:08 am

((((((NoNo))))))

6:08 am

{{{no no }}}} fancy hugs!

6:09 am

thinking about you all day yesterday and hope you are OK

thanks Ruby

6:10 am

my husband had a heart attack last September, just before his 84th birthday, and hasn't been the same since. I certainly understand.....

6:10 am

hi peru

6:10 am

peri* not sou. American

oh Ruby I am sorry

6:11 am

he's alive but very depressed ever since; I think he foresees the end....

6:11 am

we all get older....

things like that certainly do change a persons outlook. I pary for the best for the both of you

6:11 am

and he can't seem to see how lucky he is, never having been sick a day in his life!

6:12 am

thank you NO NO

how long have you been together?

6:13 am

not very long - I'm his 4th wife [bluebeard!] and although we've been "together" since '84, we've only been married since Dec '97

6:14 am

very different from your situation. I was single for 26 years between my two marriages

6:14 am

and it was wonderful!!!!

there are advantages to both singledom and being part of a couple

6:16 am

I think I did very well on my own, finding this very difficult!

I can only imagine. you had only yourself to consider before, now you have husband to care for who has suddenly lost sight of his vitality it would seem

6:20 am

I raised my boy pretty much alone for 7 years

6:20 am

and he turned out OK

6:21 am

thank God for my dogs, however!!

Animals are a great source of comfort to most people

6:22 am

they are great comfort!

I think they keep us sane

6:22 am

yes, for sure

6:22 am

and our friends!!!!!

I have always had at least one cat and know I would be very lonely if I didnt have one to pet and lavish attention on

6:23 am

I can't imagine a house without at least one animal in it!

6:35 am

why isn't partita in here? isn't that a valid musical form?

i'm not sure looking it up to see

6:37 am

anybody lurking who has any 8's or the 10?

6:37 am

sonata would surely be in!

it should be valid but then we deal with enable dictionary here and, well, it's anybody's guess why they dont include it

6:39 am

my cat just pooped in the dining room :(

oh no peri! bad kitty

6:40 am

to her credit, the litter box was pretty full but I may have to take her to the vet

6:40 am

why? did you go away?

6:40 am

that is unusual, no?

6:40 am

Good morning everyone

6:40 am

no, but there are two cats here and altho each has there own box they both use hers a lot

aq8 compound word color of water plus a shade of color

6:41 am

ty NoNo

is the litter box nearby peri

6:41 am

beautiful clue, NoNo!!!

the 10 works off of that aq8

6:41 am

{{NoNo}}

6:41 am

it is in the basement in a 2 story house

6:41 am

((mom))

hi Mom

6:41 am

{{Ruby}} sorry to read of your trials

6:42 am

ya, thank you for the 10!!

6:42 am

ty for the 1o NoNo

6:42 am

but nothing, compared to NoNo!

peri that is strange behavior for a cat. even if litter box not the cleanest it seems she would have done her business closs to it

6:42 am

very true.

6:43 am

and I'm going to London for the weekend YAY!! will get away from DH

6:43 am

I know, NoNo, I guess I will have to make an appt. vets are soooo expensive

6:43 am

and have wonderful English breakfasts! and sushi! and parties!

6:43 am

are you going to see the Queen, ruby?

6:43 am

it will do you a world of good, Ruby

6:44 am

vets here cost more than double people docs!

6:44 am

sounds like fun ruby

6:44 am

here too, ruby

yes they are, perhaps a phone consult first to see if they have any suggestions

6:44 am

good idea, NoNo

6:44 am

perhaps I'm be (female equivalent of) Knighted! lol

6:45 am

and this is not my house

6:45 am

but it's your cat?

6:45 am

yes it is my cat, someone else in the house saw her do it :(

is it a loose bm peri or a normal one?

6:46 am

normal, thank goodness and not on the carpet

6:46 am

our chows are so prudish, that we've never seen the female poop; she goes behind the bushes and looks away

score one for the cat on that I guess. She was not totally naughty

6:46 am

lol Ruby

6:47 am

I love my cat but she is 14, never had a cat this long

awe how cute ruby, she likes her privicy

6:47 am

thank you Nono for the aq words

6:47 am

we've had 5 chow chows and they all housebreak themselves immediately. Only the first one, who was paper trained, didn't quite get it; she used to put her front paws on the paper and pee on the floor

6:48 am

uh oh

they do develop problems with age peri, I had to have one put down last year when she became diabetic and could not make it to the litter box in time to pee most of the time

6:48 am

never would have gotten the aq10!

6:49 am

uh oh? what happened Peri

6:49 am

cata pooped in dining room :(

6:49 am

again?

6:50 am

hello everyone!

6:50 am

never did that before Mom

6:50 am

{{{Annie}}} good morning

6:50 am

hi Annie

hi Annie

6:50 am

Peri, perhaps Zoe is very fussy and does not want another cat using her litterbox. She might have pooped in protest.

6:50 am

hello Annie. Today's topic is animals pooping in the house! lol

6:51 am

Hi ((Mom))

6:51 am

we have lived here 11 months, Annie and this just started

6:51 am

but he does use her box a lot too

6:51 am

Hi Ruby!

is there any animosity between them peri or do they normally get along ok?

6:52 am

they get along, surprisingly, since they were both only cats for 12 years

6:52 am

mine is female, the other is a male

6:52 am

(((Nono))))

6:54 am

Before I would take Zoe to the vet, speak to him or her first. Perhaps there is a way this pooping problem can be resolved over the phone.

6:54 am

I will, Annie

6:55 am

bbl

6:55 am

bbl

if they get along and have been sharing the little box ok up until now I doubt thats the problem. As I said before speak to the vet first and meanwhile keep an eye on her and see if you can spot any problems

6:55 am

yay, passed half!!

wtg ruby

6:55 am

I will NoNo

6:55 am

hooray Ruby

6:55 am

good for you, ruby

6:56 am

it's a big thing for me, my main goal. I don't even hope for fireworks!

6:56 am

see you later

6:56 am

more hugs, ladies!!!!

6:56 am

bye bye {{Ruby}}

6:56 am

7:46 am

8:46 am in the northeast

7:51 am

Thank you

7:54 am

7:51 back home in Garland TX

It'll be 4.54am on the west coast

7:55 am

It's so hard to keep track of it - I've been here in Brighton for nearly a month now.

7:56 am

wow Pinny you are an early riser or have you not gone to bed yet

My bad - it's 5.56am on the west coast

7:56 am

well the time in the corner of the chat box is u.s. central time so you can keep track of your home time

I live in London! I just know that the east coast is -5 hours and the west coast is -8 hours

7:57 am

That's funny - I've played babble for a couple of years and never paid any attention to it.

7:57 am

yep so when I call people in Cal I have to wait FOREVER for them to get up!

7:58 am

there you go -- learn something new every day

halfway! time to go do some chores - see y'all in a bit

8:00 am

bye pinny

8:01 am

bye pinny

good morning

8:02 am

hi good!

8:02 am

star

8:02 am

oopsie

8:02 am

Good Morning Good Enough - havent seen you for a while

8:02 am

*wonders if there is coffee in the pb*

I had a self imposed sabbatical from babble.

May is such a busy month I couldn't afford to spend so much time at the computer

8:04 am

sometimes that is necessary

But I have really missed this!!

8:04 am

wb!

8:04 am

Im not strong enough to stay away - lol

You were fighting your own battle when I left - how's it going?

8:05 am

i manage to stay away a day or two at a time

8:05 am

very well - 35 days

8:05 am

that is 5 weeks today - woohoo

8:05 am

whoo hooo mom!

Excellent! Good for you!

8:05 am

congrats, mom -- that's terrific!

8:05 am

and howdy, all :-)

8:05 am

still rough going at times but I am doing ti

8:06 am

hi une

8:06 am

Hi Une

8:06 am

Momneeds, that is wonderful...keep up the good fight

8:06 am

Hi Une!

8:06 am

hows the rebuild going in TN?

8:06 am

next I will be signing up for the biggest loser

8:07 am

lol we could have a babble team

8:07 am

there's still an overwhelming amount to do, jmc, but it's progressing -- a bit of todo at the moment re whether to rebuild in certain areas

count me in - uggg

8:08 am

state wants to buy out folks whose homes are over 50% trashed

8:08 am

that decision left a lot of poor people shoved out in New Orleans

8:08 am

I need to get to work now - good place to stop with 100 left - catch you all later - happy babbling

8:08 am

yeah, i know . . .

8:08 am

later, mom!!

have a great day mom

8:08 am

bye momneeds

8:08 am

bye mom

8:08 am

are you watching "Treme" jmc?

8:09 am

that's one of their story lines right now

8:09 am

treme? apparently not--what is it?

8:10 am

excellent new show on HBO -- all about New Orleans post-Katrina -- amazing cast and writing and music -- they're using a lot of local musicians and others who aren't necessarily actors . . .

8:11 am

Treme is a section of New Orleans with a really high concentration of low-income folks, and lots of musicians

8:11 am

sounds good but only have basic cable (spend too much time watching tv and babbling as it is)

8:11 am

my niece lived in the 9th ward before during and after

8:11 am

every time I decide to drop HBO they come along with a new show like this one! :-)

8:12 am

what an experience for her, jmc!

8:12 am

after being a city that she felt comfortable in it became too dangerous because of the additional pressure on the poor there -- broke her heart

8:12 am

she now lives in the much sa**r Brooklyn

8:14 am

indeed -- truly heartbreaking to see and, I'm sure, much more so to actually experience

8:14 am

here's the website: www.hbo.com/treme

8:15 am

i will check it out later. now i am try to get nbt before work :-D

8:15 am

oh, absolutely, just an FYI!

8:15 am

:-)

8:16 am

do you have the stats on the O and the N in the left column ?

8:17 am

os4/4 -- babblet

8:17 am

lol i had already narrowed it down to be a babblet!

8:17 am

no4/4 another frequent itty bitty word in the grid

8:17 am

ty

8:17 am

:-D

8:18 am

the volcano has settled n

8:18 am

tx annie -- didn't see it! LOL

8:18 am

it is strangely comforting to see the volcano

8:18 am

ty

8:18 am

i agree, jmc :-)

8:19 am

yes, jmc the volcano and the hawaaian bird

8:20 am

but I don't like the hairy nosed dolphin!

8:20 am

neither do I

8:20 am

silly that words that have no meaning in my life have emotions attached to them

8:20 am

on the other hand I always attached personalities to numbers

8:21 am

Words have emotional impacts too

8:22 am

jmc, as a child I always had a soft spot for "22" -- go figure LOL

8:22 am

but usually the words have some connection such as if I had spent any time near the volcano

8:22 am

hairy-nosed dolphin? eeeew. which babblet is that? Nothing like coming on late!

8:22 am

I wouldn't want to be sitting next to a hairy nosed dolphin on the subway

8:22 am

the even numbers were always the good guys, but I secretly felt sorry for the bad guy odd numbers

8:22 am

inia, right?

8:23 am

jmc LOL!!

8:23 am

hahah

8:23 am

annie LOL

8:23 am

3 and 5 tried so hard and 9 was tired of being bad but didn't know how to get out of it

8:23 am

perhaps, because odd (numbers) denote something strange, odd as in frightening

8:24 am

Never did like that 5

8:24 am

7, of course, was always trying to look as tough as 9

8:24 am

LOL, j mc

8:24 am

my monkeys are falling on the floor and can't find the dolphin or the o or the left-hand n!

8:24 am

so was 6 a 9 wannabe??

8:24 am

and I felt sorry for 8, too since it could never be 10

8:25 am

the dolphin is not in the grid ruby we were discussing babblets in the abstract

8:25 am

aaah, abstract babblets! A new art form, I guess

8:25 am

6 was pretty quiet, never could decide which way to turn in life

8:26 am

:-D

8:26 am

doesn't anybody like 4's?

8:26 am

never cared for them . . .

8:27 am

i always thought 2 and 4 were kinda cute in a fresh kid sorta way

8:27 am

2 was always so easy to understand and helpful

8:27 am

non-primes are always more useful!

8:27 am

I just rescued a green finch which had crashed into the window

8:28 am

what was the stat for the left column N again? it got lo** in the discussion

8:28 am

anyone like skinny little unobstrusive one?

8:28 am

yay ruby! protector of the small!

8:28 am

ty for the lo4, I missed it

8:28 am

at my height, I had better!

8:28 am

one never did seem to get anything going did it!

8:29 am

it is a beautiful little bird with a violet beak

8:29 am

no4/4

8:29 am

got it ty

8:30 am

now to tackle the other n and the lower A

8:30 am

is it okay ruby?

8:31 am

yes, I gave it a little stroke on the head, offered it bead, and it flew away into the shrubbery I'm smiling, because sometimes they kill themselves hitting the windows

8:31 am

bread*

8:31 am

have 125 words but nary a one of the lower middle a's!

8:31 am

:-( your no help une!

8:31 am

lol

8:31 am

sheesh!

8:32 am

ap5---not together

8:32 am

I think two of those a's are the long words, the 8 and the 10

8:32 am

tx, annie!!!

8:32 am

yes, ruby the color

8:32 am

aq8 and aq10

8:33 am

8:33 am

aq10!?!?!? yikes

8:34 am

was that helpful, I'm such a dork at this

8:34 am

color and color and then the one who does it

8:34 am

Good morning, blue planet dwellers! How goes the grid today?

8:34 am

yes indeedy ruby!

8:35 am

the one who does a color??? is that like numbers with personalities?

8:35 am

hey, judi :-)

8:35 am

hi judi

8:35 am

Hi Judi

8:35 am

color + apply color

8:35 am

2nd color... can i have what family of colours it's in?

8:35 am

jmc, kinda like blue + a hue

8:35 am

and then the suffix for the one who does it

8:35 am

second part is applying the color

8:35 am

no the aq== color i get

8:36 am

it's the other one

8:36 am

ty ty i get it now

8:36 am

*snicker* that was a blue hue clue

8:36 am

*giggle* use THAT in a sentence!

8:36 am

lol une

8:36 am

sounds like a chattanoogah choo choo joke

8:37 am

:-D

8:37 am

is the 2nd color in the beige family?

8:38 am

what?

8:38 am

yes

8:38 am

okay help with the right hand N so I can get some work done

8:38 am

there's a ta4 that's beige . . .

8:38 am

no, it's not a color; it's "to color a little"

8:38 am

and is that the 2nd color?

8:38 am

yes

8:38 am

omg. got it

8:38 am

poor jbp LOLOLOL!!

8:38 am

8:38 am

8:39 am

I think it's my first 10!

8:39 am

jmc, do you have the Darlings' dog?

8:39 am

10:58 am

I have been looking for an AN4 letter word for half an hour - yikes - not giving up yet.

10:59 am

sorry nb,just a sign of the time i was born in,i tend to jump from metric to imperial without pausing

10:59 am

ap7 - if you're hungry - change vowel

ap7 is misspelling of what you have when you're hungry

10:59 am

that was meant for crossy

ty josh

Hi NB, that is my son and grandson here in Toronto

12:53 pm

taken the night he got blackbelt in Tai Kwan Do

12:53 pm

i look a LOT like your son flosey!!!

12:53 pm

really Crossy

12:53 pm

lol

12:54 pm

you must post a picture

12:54 pm

beard,heavier,grey hair coming in lol

12:54 pm

Blackbelt? awesome! Your son or your grandson?

12:54 pm

grandson, NB - son is still working on it - they do a lot of things together

12:55 pm

Wowww, he looks young to be a blackbelt. What a prodigy!

12:55 pm

now taking guitar lessons together - son is in a more advanced class

12:55 pm

that is quite an acomplishment for one so young!!

12:56 pm

well, he isn't strong enough yet but has all the moves and knowledge - I think now they go on to the Dans but he has to grow a bit and gain strength

12:57 pm

I agree, I thought Blackbelt was the top!

12:57 pm

it is and there are about 9 levels of the back belt if i am not mistaken

12:58 pm

i think by level 9,you can levitate! lol

12:58 pm

LOL!

12:58 pm

ah, so that's it, but, as I say, he'll have to grow and gain strength

12:59 pm

he's really just a sweet kid

12:59 pm

lol,a sweet kid who will mess you up if your late with the allowance;0

12:59 pm

lol

1:00 pm

not this one crossy

1:02 pm

NB, did you ever take any of the martial arts?

1:03 pm

nahhh, Flosey...should have done, since maybe I wouldn't be a little weakling now if I had ;) but I didn't want to see that foreign. Joined the football team instead ;)

1:05 pm

wow, that's pretty rugged! this son was approached in HS to join the football but he doesn't have the killer instinct, he's big softy

1:05 pm

football here is not rugged ;) football here is soccer!

1:06 pm

ah, daughter played - later coached kids

1:06 pm

Can you picture me playing American football?! they'd destroy me!

1:07 pm

soccer, that is

1:08 pm

well, they'd have had to make my son very angry before he could pllay rough

1:09 pm

I played (laughably) baseball - they had a lob ball team at work and had to have certain number of females - I was willing but not good

1:11 pm

lol nb,in american and canadian football most of the players start at about 120 kilos lol

1:11 pm

well I'm 120...pounds ;)

1:11 pm

ah, to be that weight again!!

1:12 pm

there was one with the last name of perry,i cannot recall his first name,but he was so large he was called "the fridge"

1:12 pm

about 220 and up in american

1:12 pm

I remember him, crossy

1:12 pm

I'm the size of one of his arms!

1:12 pm

I remember that nickname, but not the person

1:13 pm

are you having a wonderful time, flosey?

1:13 pm

was 340 pounds in weight i think

1:13 pm

you seem to have quite violent sports across the pond...your hockey is not our hockey. Our hockey is the pastime of polite girls in boots; your hockey is the pastime of angry canadians with no teeth ;)

1:13 pm

am alone right now, son and d-i-l working

1:14 pm

crossy does not like toronto,except for their fine hospitals,sick kids and princess margerettes

1:14 pm

good for us here in babble!

1:14 pm

lol nb,our ice hockey is lost teeth and dislocated shoulders!

1:14 pm

resting up - I slept most of the wayon plane - was sleeping before we left the ground

1:15 pm

right NB, our sports seem to be out to kill!

1:15 pm

its the cold wether we play in nbb,the would bleed more slowly lol

1:15 pm

then, at the end, they shake hands!

1:15 pm

wounds*\

1:16 pm

lol NB, I can assure you I had my fill of injuries from other polite girls in hockey boots :P

1:16 pm

hah, ata. How are you feeling?

1:16 pm

LOL Crossy!!

1:16 pm

grumpy!!

1:16 pm

i can remember several fights on the ice when we were kids.we would beat each other to a pulp then puck the other guy up off the ice and make sure he got home safe

1:16 pm

well, I'm dopey!

1:17 pm

no grumpies ata...do not make me come over there;)

1:17 pm

I have broken cruciates. I'm allowed to be grumpy :D

1:19 pm

greetings from Maine

1:19 pm

vena

hello westford!

1:19 pm

off you go ruby

1:19 pm

pb for me, sorry

1:19 pm

hi ruby

1:19 pm

Toothless angry Canadians? Never! Although many hockey players are Canadian and toothless, I think it's only the fans that are angry :)

1:20 pm

hi west, greetings from TO

1:20 pm

that was a welcome present, west!

1:20 pm

uniiiiiiii!!!!!

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

welcome to the east flosey

1:20 pm

it's pretty warm, west

1:20 pm

G'd evening, Ata! (for you, at least). Watching Supernatural again...muaha

1:21 pm

I agree NB, they do it in hockey too

1:21 pm

I was earlier too :)

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

the city must be muggy flosey,it is a nice 20c up here;0

1:21 pm

hello ata and une and crossy

1:22 pm

My "bff" is watching season two at the mo. He watched season five with the beau and I as it aired and now he is catching up on the back story.

1:22 pm

and it's disgusting! I got praised for scoring the goal of the season, but also for being the diva of the season ;)

1:22 pm

howdy westford

1:22 pm

it is disgusting, isn't it

1:22 pm

and NB didn't mean to forget you

1:22 pm

1:23 pm

Oooh, you got the serial killer and the crossroads! :)

1:23 pm

I have so much to do and am playing this instead! I'd better go, gd night everybody, sweet dreams

1:23 pm

yep!

1:23 pm

I have been wanting to be on with you because my sister in law is Korean and her name is Ho Yung Park

1:24 pm

tc ruby

1:24 pm

I imagine Yung is a very common name there

1:24 pm

lol, I better clean up the kitchen before the kids get home!! they won't invite me again!

1:24 pm

LOL, thanks Flosey. I scored it by accident but it looked very flash indeed ;)

1:24 pm

bye ruby hope to see you again soon

1:25 pm

well NB, you should never tell it is accidental

1:25 pm

just sit there and smile and let your fame fly before you

1:25 pm

nice that Harvard's motto is here

1:26 pm

any stats for the 8's or the 10 ? pretty please

1:26 pm

sa 8/50

1:26 pm

aq 8/55, 10/91

1:26 pm

Most names are common in Korea West ;) There's only about, I think it's 400 surnames in South Korea, so everyone shares! My given name is Youngbae though, so no connections there I'm afraid ;)

1:28 pm

I need the st8/40

1:28 pm

do you still have family there and how will the dissolution of ties affect them?

1:28 pm

thank you crossy and amelu

1:28 pm

and flosey too

1:30 pm

have all the s words but that one

1:30 pm

oh yeah, loads of family there - a multitude of cousins (there are four other Youngbaes in my generation in my family)! As for how my being disowned affects them, there is sort of a long and tricky story up to that...no happy endings, sadly

1:30 pm

ap

1:30 pm

no sweetie I meant North and South Korea

1:31 pm

but I am so sympathetic to your being disowned I just don't understand it

1:31 pm

OH! sorry, I'm so fixed on that lately ;) but, either way, I have no news at all...no contact

1:32 pm

harvard's motto.. cool, thanks for the clue west. My son is graduating tomorrow!!

1:32 pm

How wonderful Dorens !! It should cool off

1:33 pm

you must be ultra proud !!

1:33 pm

yes, thank goodness... is it 90 degrees there today?

1:33 pm

agree West, in my wildest annoyances, I cannot imagine losing faith in one's son or daughter

1:33 pm

oh i am .. he is 31 and flunked out of a small state school years ago.... nice success story

1:33 pm

ah Dorens, how wonderful

1:34 pm

I'm glad he went back

1:35 pm

the love of a good woman................

1:35 pm

congratulations, Dorens! what did he study?

1:37 pm

lit... he loves english lit... and going for his master's in library science

1:38 pm

I wish he could talk to a friend of mine who loves library science but refuses to study it because it's "not high powered enough"

1:39 pm

no carrear is to small or unimportant if you do your best and love what you do

1:40 pm

damn typos

1:40 pm

ohhh, english lit was always my subject of choice. the plan last year was that I'd be at university studying it right now, but obviously I had to turn the place down. Life rarely works out the way you plan ;)

1:41 pm

life is the journey,not the destination nb;)

1:41 pm

and I see a pic of Leo on Flickr! FInally!!!

1:41 pm

yes,we finally got a peek at the elusive leo

1:42 pm

well, david spent years as a barrista and was happy with that for quite a while... being a librarian would be more high powered than that, then

1:42 pm

well, if you think about it, most people go to university to end up with the life they want. And I'm living that now!

1:42 pm

**Thinks lit. is a lovely thing to study! If only I could study it forever as my career...

1:42 pm

oh yes...you don't get to see his gorgeous green eyes sadly ;) he was tipsy...

1:43 pm

well tc all i must go hose down this mass of muscle and head for work.tc all and happy babbling

1:43 pm

is that a recent pic? the one of Leo?

1:43 pm

poof

1:43 pm

bye for now crossy

1:43 pm

i can't see it (flicker is banned in school).. maybe later

1:43 pm

you watch who you're calling a poof crossy ;)

1:43 pm

bye for now crossy

1:44 pm

Hi all

1:44 pm

fm!!!!!

1:44 pm

it's probably about a year old, Ata. It was before we were living together! He looks quite young to me, but he was probably about 23

1:44 pm

hi FM

1:44 pm

hello FM

1:44 pm

Where? Oh! There! Hello!

1:45 pm

he does look young! awww :P

1:45 pm

hi fm, flosey

1:45 pm

I can see why you're smitten

1:45 pm

Hey Ata, hows the leg? and hello westie and flosey and Dorens and Uni and NB!!!

1:46 pm

hi, FM! :)

1:46 pm

Thanks West ;) on his behalf. Yeah, he'll do!

1:46 pm

well ... found out it's actually the cruciate ligament that's broken. which is annoying.

1:46 pm

can you post his pic here NB - I'm not in FB

1:47 pm

oh rats,, any idea how log the healing process is?

1:47 pm

he didn't get such a bad deal either

1:47 pm

oh, sorry ata... thought it was the medial collateral (or something like that)

1:47 pm

it's on flickr, flosey, follow through his pic

1:47 pm

we all thought it was the medial because of how it initially snapped. But ... MRI says otherwise!!

1:48 pm

medieval crucibles

1:48 pm

ah.. i did my medial a long time ago, don't really know much about the cruciate.. why is it worse?

1:48 pm

You will have to cavot more carefully in sea pools in the future dear.

1:48 pm

well, we're going to go for a few weeks of physio to see if it's starting to respond to treatment. I still can't bend it much, and the dr is a bit worried about that - it should be getting more bendy by now.

1:48 pm

well thanks West ;) and Flosey, if you click on my profile, you'll see my flickr on the right - just follow through that, you'll notice Leo because he's the one who isn't me ;)

1:49 pm

follow orders.. be a good patient

1:49 pm

I am!

1:50 pm

and it's nice being a dr in these situations - even if not a medical one - but consultants don't ever try and talk down to me about things. I'd much rather have a frank conversation about the medical issues!

1:50 pm

ah, very nice looking NB - looks sweet

1:50 pm

Hi Everybody :). NancyBoy - my 15 year old daughter just came in as I was looking at your photo - the modelling one. She nearly fainted when she saw you. She wants your autograph/body/babies!!!

2:12 pm

LOL - I have it jmc - just joking about the spelling

2:12 pm

it's ok so far, jmc. I just hope physio will do what's expected of it. I think there's just a bit more likelihood that things might not improve now. But I'm being optimistic!

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

*smug*

3:11 pm

Better smug than grumpy.

3:12 pm

nots

3:12 pm

true :)

3:12 pm

hi Mo!

3:13 pm

na5/10 an anagram of the first, and a plural affectionate grandmotherly term.

3:14 pm

how was the decorating today?

3:15 pm

It is done. Finished.

3:15 pm

yay!

3:16 pm

Okay, so there's furniture to shift back and a bit of rearranging to do, but the papering is finished. I'm a wee bit tired and achy.

3:16 pm

I thought you'd like to read this when I saw it earlier: http://tinyurl.com/6oyk4o

3:16 pm

But triumphant!

3:16 pm

well done you!!

3:17 pm

So far I'm in agreement with the article....

3:17 pm

3:18 pm

I thought you'd appreciate the sentiments lol

3:18 pm

And I love the 'Get along with you' attitude.

3:19 pm

My friend who lives in France is fascinated by their desire to have drugs and lots of them.

3:19 pm

I thought it was only Americans that did that

3:19 pm

both na 5s are plurals

3:20 pm

No, the French love being ill. Crise de foie and all that. Nobody has livers like the French.

3:20 pm

wonder where the phrase lily livered comes from?

3:20 pm

Good question.

3:21 pm

Good afternoon, BabbleRabble.

3:22 pm

lily-livered "cowardly," 1605, in "Macbeth;" from lily (in its color sense of "pale, bloodless") + liver, which was a supposed seat of love and passion. A healthy liver is typically dark reddish-brown.

3:22 pm

Hello

3:23 pm

aha!

3:23 pm

The Bard's to blame.

3:23 pm

clue for ni 6/18

3:24 pm

It's a plural, Boo.

3:25 pm

LILY LIVERED Means cowardly. People once believed that your passions came from you liver. If you were lily livered your liver was white (because it did not contain any blood). So you were a coward.

3:28 pm

how come napa doesn't work

hmmm "I love you with all my liver." "Liver of my liver" "You wear your liver on your sleeve." not working for me

3:29 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the sa7,36?

3:30 pm

Napa is a proper noun, I think, therefore not accepted.

3:30 pm

sa7/36 - three for tree juice, three for a female bird, finish off with a vowel.

3:30 pm

The sa8 is the latin plural.

3:31 pm

ty Haz. This has been driving my monkeys crazy all day.

3:32 pm

You're welcome.

3:34 pm

clue for the last na 4/4

3:36 pm

Take one vowel from the plural Indian bread.

3:38 pm

fireworks

3:39 pm

ty haz

3:39 pm

clue please for the ra 6/18 - 7/28??

3:40 pm

shortened form of what you climb up on a sailing ship.

3:41 pm

Or how a southerner might describe a car goin' down a bumpy road.

3:43 pm

i am lost on both counts wht

3:43 pm

Or rodent + 3/4 of a rope

3:44 pm

My specialty is clues that only make sense if you know the word.

3:45 pm

3:47 pm

i am so thick in the head today-... still need the first 6/18

3:48 pm

Morning all

4:09 pm

Hi Ata, leg feeling better?

4:09 pm

4:12 pm

That's not right is it. When do you see your doctor next? (for results of the MRI)

4:13 pm

got the results - it's actually the anterior cruciate that's injured, joy of joys

4:14 pm

I'll see him in a few weeks, and go to physio a lot in the mean time, and hope that physio has a really good effect

4:14 pm

just had an ephany

4:15 pm

know i know why eateries serve salads in the big shallow plates...... it is so that you can lick the thing clean without messing up your hair

4:17 pm

ephany?

4:17 pm

epiphany

4:18 pm

cannot type as fast as i think-lol

4:18 pm

Just read up, seems surgery is not the preferred option - ? so make sure you rest rest rest. At least it should be easier to confine/constrain you (rather than a dog - had to do it to our previous dog twice)

4:19 pm

remind me not to go out dining with you Sammysmom

4:19 pm

Liz's Oscar has cruciate issues too!

4:20 pm

physio *should* solve everything, eventually, though surgery is a possibility if physio doesn't help much

4:20 pm

all that bouncing, not surprised!

4:20 pm

'couse a guess a chunk of italian bread would suffice......

4:21 pm

walter just made the best ka sdalad,,,,,,,,, i can t eat any more

4:21 pm

clue for pa 5/18 pls

4:22 pm

he had a cruciate op a few years ago, adn is having more troubles more. far too much bouncing!

4:22 pm

He is a bit heavy too isn't he (a Lab?)

4:22 pm

pa-5/18------ sen on kosher foods

4:24 pm

pa6.18 if the end vowel was dfferent it would be a dog disease Pa**o virus (change the o)

4:24 pm

he's a BIG lab

4:24 pm

(pa5.18 that is)

4:25 pm

but physically big, not fat

4:26 pm

I hope they have insurance then

4:26 pm

does that sen stand for senator

4:27 pm

My neighbour has a youngish border collie, had to have both back knees done, had to take out a personal loan for around $10,000. At least my 2 ops 'only' cost me $4000

4:28 pm

4:29 pm

ty

4:30 pm

odd word

4:31 pm

4:31 pm

what does it mean, doren?

4:31 pm

hi Dorens

4:31 pm

ah, ty dc!

4:31 pm

and DC

4:32 pm

that's why we're not getting another dog when Bisky dies [sob]

4:32 pm

what dc said

4:32 pm

hello, doren, bichon, ata, boo, lyn et al

4:32 pm

what is wrong with Bisky!?

4:32 pm

it's written on the side of oodles of food boxes here in the states... pancake mix, soup, etc

4:33 pm

i'm about to embark on a trip to boston... giving my ex husband a ride, to see our son graduate from college at the age 0f 31

4:33 pm

that it is indeed, doren. makes it easy to find vegan things

4:33 pm

wow. never heard of it!

4:33 pm

Bisky is over 16, has heart and kidney problems. Every day is a gift

4:33 pm

see... ata doesn't know absolutely everything!! ;-) can't be smug now, can you?

4:34 pm

Hooray for Dorens son!

4:34 pm

we're not very up on kosjer things here ...!

4:34 pm

be well, doren, and congrats to your son

4:35 pm

yes, it's rather a big deal.. he flunked out of local college many years ago.. now graduating from harvard

4:35 pm

doren and i live in the NE - many Jews in this region, and enough that national producers get kosher certifications, if only for passover.

4:35 pm

very nice, doren :)

4:35 pm

good explanation dc

4:35 pm

Poor Bisky, hope you both enjoy your time that left together. You don't have dog insurance in the States - for the next puppy?

4:36 pm

Bichon, i'm sorry to hear what Bisky is going through - i know it's hard on all of you.

4:38 pm

4:45 pm

Doren, does he have plans in the job force?

4:45 pm

Hi jmitch and stidgmere, I have 123 left, barely started this morning.

5:49 pm

I have merely 183 left. Will play until it isn't fun any more.

5:50 pm

thought i had killed the chat

chat not very busy today.

5:56 pm

It is monsoonish here in the NW. The downpours couldn't be any greater in Calcutta (or whatever the name is nowadays.)

5:58 pm

red, I stopped looking at my score a long time ago. It made the game too competitive

I ebb and wax with the moons or something...

I would like to see some afternoon showers. very warm here.

6:00 pm

I bet we're warmer than you are. It was 97 here at 3 PM

yes our High was 88. odd when north of you i warmer than you.

6:00 pm

We don't have a fire in the fireplace but I am thinking about it. I see it is 53 degrees outside and twenty degrees warmer in the house.

9:20 pm

I have a jar of velveeta in my pantry closet - bought it because good friend told me I want american if I didnt have it. I think it expired years ago but keeping it for posterity.

9:24 pm

Gov't cheese was worse than Velveeta .. It would not melt at all ..

9:24 pm

9:24 pm

all this food talk is making me hungry. off to get a snack and go to bed!

I need to get a passport and then I can go to Canada

9:50 pm

you're probably going to squint at me, jm, but i went and got me a nexus card (because i am ALWAYS stopped at the border, too)

9:50 pm

if things keep going as they are lately - I may just do that

9:51 pm

a nexus card??

9:51 pm

no guarantee that i won't still be stopped, but i'm a-hoping

9:51 pm

its more temporary than a passport - recommended for school kids

9:51 pm

yeah, present the card, retina scan or fingerprint scan and off i go ... no waiting in customs lines to/from the us

9:52 pm

you still need your passport, mom

9:52 pm

9:54 pm

Hi Dr Gwen

9:54 pm

Hello Gwen

9:54 pm

hi book

9:54 pm

hmmmm ... maybe that's the reason i get stopped, too ... there was a minor incident in syracuse in 1972

9:55 pm

seriously, no. (i enlisted in usaf twice)

9:55 pm

i have done NOTHING in canada! missed a bus is the worse thing I can think off

9:55 pm

i work for the government. whatever info they collected, they already have

9:55 pm

no wait I tried to sit down too soon for breakfast on the canadian train

9:56 pm

which government?

9:56 pm

wow, you ARE a rebel!

9:56 pm

My best friend who is dying of cancer gets stopped every time she goes to the airport because someone else has the same name as she - she is 90 lbs - cant carry anything - how much of a threat is there

9:56 pm

municipal, but used to be provincial ... and municipal/state in the states

9:56 pm

that's me -- want to eat when i wake up

9:57 pm

oh you meant 'which' government ... lol ... all of them!

the Bush admin never gave a *&$% about protecting us from terrorism. if they really did, the No Fly list wouldn't be the joke it is

9:57 pm

hard to argue against that point

9:58 pm

*takes notes to send to homeland security*

9:58 pm

hey i just got the card so i won't have to stand in line for two hours waiting for a customs agent to call me aside

9:58 pm

wacka wacka wacka

9:58 pm

thats my friend Gwen who never did a bad thing in her life, who is trying to enjoy the time she has left and has to go through total strip searches every time she wants to go to Vegas - she is dying for gods sake

9:58 pm

what can i say -- my solution is not to go to canada

9:59 pm

that is terrible mom

9:59 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

9:59 pm

10:00 pm

I knew there was something I liked about you jmc..... see you tomorrow

disgusting. and strip searching people is, again, not for finding terrorists (well, maybe 1 time in 1 thousand) but for terrorizing innocent americans into "settling" for living in a police state

10:01 pm

g'night mom

10:01 pm

book imagine what i would say and you will be right

10:01 pm

bye mom

10:10 pm

harp, is your icon an oil-mutated octopus?

10:12 pm

It's Her Majesty the Flying Spaghetti Monster, silly!

from Yahoonews: BP started pumping heavy mud into the leaking Gulf of Mexico well Wednesday and said everything was going as planned in the company's boldest attempt yet to plug the gusher that has spewed millions of gallons of oil over the last five weeks.

10:12 pm

i know i know -- it's the flying sphagetti monster!

10:12 pm

all hail his greatness FSM!

10:13 pm

There was a really obnoxious Babbler many years ago who took the FSM to an extreme. That's not me....

oh, duh! shoulda reconnized that!! (slinks away in shame and embarrassment)

and as for the oil spill, i no longer believe anything BP says. period.

10:14 pm

sa7 tree blood + female chicken + 1st vowel add latin plural ending for the 8

10:15 pm

thx meliae, babble word i always forget

today i drove past an intersectino with 2 gas stations. Shell was $2.559 and BP was $2.649. Usually Shell is more expensive that everyone else. Ha ha BP.

10:16 pm

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

*POOF*

NBT at last, woot

10:36 pm

Could use that middle left "N" ..

10:37 pm

NM ..

n + double vowel + the first again + plural

10:38 pm

hey all, is this worth trying? I have maybe 20 minutes' attention left... (((tor))) (((gwen))) (((mel))) *waves at anyone else who is still here*

struggling with 75 to go, so, if you like a challenge, dive on in 8-)

10:39 pm

go gwen go!

10:39 pm

my during-school "finish" is halfway and NBT. I'll give it a try, thanks!

oh hell you said LEFT and i clued RIGHT. okay, left-hand N: musical tone, change last letter to diff vowel

oh hell, you said NM right after that! (blushes furiously)

10:41 pm

it was a good clue, Gwen! LOL *I* used it!

10:42 pm

Halfway + NBT should be doable, stid ..

10:42 pm

go tor go!!!

10:42 pm

Thanks Gwen ..

okay, good (foregoes blushing) lol

10:43 pm

Hi, all...

10:43 pm

Maybe it's my relaxed state, but I got a lot of words on first pass ..

10:44 pm

hey jellen!!! ((((many many hugs)))) *blows kisses at tim*

that Q is making me miss a lot of fishy-ones

10:44 pm

I won't finish though ..

hiya jellen and all whom was missed

10:44 pm

why not tor? too relaxed??

10:44 pm

Having a bad day...had to put my dog Molly to sleep...

10:44 pm

Heya Jellen ..

10:45 pm

oh no Jellen!!! (((more hugs))) that is such a difficult decision. (((more hugs)))

10:45 pm

Sorry to hear, Jel ..

10:45 pm

And going to the med center tomorrow for testing on Tim's liver...

aw, sorry to hear that, jellen

10:46 pm

*fingers crossed* Jellen, you are on the TOP of the list. Tim is tops, too.

10:47 pm

Thanks...don't think I'll start the grid...early day tomorrow...

10:48 pm

sure. you want to just visit a while? I am taking a few minutes to refocus and center before I turn in, too.

10:51 pm

No, thanks, I think I'll play something mindless for a bit and turn in...

10:52 pm

G'night...Happy Babbling to you all!

10:52 pm

okay jellen. hope to see you in happier times soon.

10:57 pm

I've had to do that ..

10:58 pm

I feel so helpless when my friends' lives are difficult. At these distances... I feel so helpless.

11:00 pm

damn missed Jellen, well I can still prya for her and tim that all goes well

11:00 pm

semi here actually going afk a few then we be here full time to help clue

11:01 pm

true enough mel -- you are one of my other friends I have been thinking of lately... are you doing "okay?" Last we talked your life was all in a jumble.

11:01 pm

oh! hey semi! LOL you look sooooo much like mel! *grin*

11:03 pm

hi all

11:03 pm

hi all

11:03 pm

stutter, sorry

11:04 pm

hey nrk!!! (((hugs))) I am glad to see you!

11:04 pm

you too {{{stid}}}

11:05 pm

I'm not here for long... just want to pick up a few more words before I go to bed

11:07 pm

things are looking up, I thought I had replied to your e-mail, so many to reply too, I am not goign to start the classes until fall term I need more time to adjust, a death a move and a loss of your job and income are enough to deal with at this time.

11:08 pm

I am glad you are taking time for that adjustment. Too much "new" is really awful.

11:08 pm

I am down to 84 listless... trying to decide whether to stay logged in and take mini-breaks from the little tasks I have left, or whether to just log out and focus so I can get to sleep quicker.

11:09 pm

I figure when I can go a week without crying then I am ready for drastic changes, well more changes LOL

11:09 pm

ugh, my leg hurts too much to babble

11:09 pm

well there a few tricky ones at least get the high point ones lol

11:09 pm

time for pain killers and bed I think

11:09 pm

mel, be well

11:09 pm

stid, nice to see you!

11:10 pm

good night all!

11:10 pm

=( nrkii get some rest and we will see you tommorow

11:10 pm

It does not look like pini is going to make it back in time to finish, she went to a retirement party for a co-worker

11:11 pm

sweet dreams nrk, sorry to hear you are in pain (again? still?)

11:11 pm

see you again soon!

11:11 pm

ah, "retirement" seems SO far away. I will want to teach for at last 20 years after I get certification next year... and if my health holds out, longer even than that.

11:16 pm

yes starting over at 51 is not easy But at the time I choose that career (in home adult foster care) I didnt think about the heart ache and the stress it would cause mentally. It is going to be hard finding something now since I am definately not going back into that field of work 20+ years was enough

11:18 pm

and of course I have no benefits no retirement plan, things like that you dont think about. You just think you are going to work forever LOL. well I had benefits for awhile but they took all that away when the cost of health insurance went through the roof.

11:18 pm

that is true, Mel. I am younger (not by much) and realize that even at my age it could be tough to find a permanent position... but it's worth making the effort, I think.

11:18 pm

ouch. that is just WRONG. I hope that you soon have coverage again.

11:19 pm

yes teaching is a great career if I was a few years younger I would most definately go that way

11:20 pm

I know that Bugs is a paraprofessional, mel -- around here, sometimes it is easier to get those positions (and you don't have to plan lessons or do parent conferences...) and you get benefits.

11:20 pm

Pay isn't as good, but it's something.

11:20 pm

my kids want me to sign up for SSI for my fibromyalgia but I am not ready to throw in the towel yet. I am going to see how I do taking classes and being able to sit through those and then decide

11:21 pm

I will look into it, I was actually a headstart teacher many years ago, but only took early child development classes to do that. so not much in the way of 'real' teaching classes

11:22 pm

That is a good idea, to try the classes -- there are now early childhood certifications? Or is that what you have? The current trends in education look like early childhood ed is going to get a BIG push.

11:23 pm

Fibromyalgia sux. I have a couple friends who deal with it.

11:29 pm

I have a certificate but I bet it is outdated it was over 20 years ago I got it

11:33 pm

Sometimes the older certificates were "permanent" and can be reinstated. It's worth checking out. That is, if you want to work with the younger set...

11:35 pm

anyway, I am getting seriously sidetracked and need to focus on getting one last lesson for this quarter written.

11:35 pm

See you again soon, I hope ((hugs)).

11:36 pm

ok I will look into it nice to see you ((HUGS))

11:52 pm

150 exactly today

hey all!
