hi jilli
hi ruru -- I thought I was talking to myself
...lol was worried about you for a minute
why?
you were talking to yourself...
ah yes -- first sign of madness
sprite is not going to like these k's
no, but she'll monkey the weird ones.
I only have 4 of the damn things
I have 6 of them.. can't find others yet
I'm going to leave them until tomorrow, although I won't have much time -- bridge foursome here in the afternoon, then I plan to go to our little local movie house to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo at 9 pm (I'll miss the flip).
oh.. that sounds like a nice day jilli
I am playing tennis tomorrow and going to a concert on sunday
hi/bye Jilli. Hope you enjoy the movie, may daughter said it was pretty violent
Have you read those Stieg Larsson books?
Hi Ruru
no.. I haven't ...
HI lynxxx
Hi lyn -- there was violence in the book, but I guess seeing it is different!
HI lynxxx
HI lynxxx
hello all, help with T in right column pls
ruru, what concert are you going to?
hi peri -- ta5/10 -- ta + black sticky stuff
hi Peri
ty jilli
nbt and 4 corners gray :)
wtg peri!
:-)
I only have 1 R from the top left
I think they are both re6
to get up again and to offer a job to someone again
did that help jilli?
morning all
hey sprite
nice icon story again, jilli :)
oh! a K!
I found 7 of the k's with no problem sprite.
hi periwinkle
I hope I can do that too
I am sure you will
hi sprite and thanks :)
I was in the kitchen for a bit and turning off the TVs.
jilli did you get the r word
I only have 4 Ks.
peri, I haven't tried for that R again -- re words defeat me!
hi jilli
jilli see my note at 2:08
whereupon I promptloy found it, lol -- playing a peri ;)
lol jilli
glad you got it jilli
*promptly (it's typo time)
oh I found a K7! *amazed at self*
sprite -- great icon and comment :)
thanks jilli!
and I found that ke7 too! Amazing what taking a break can achieve.
I don't have the ke7 :(
wonderful jilli! I greyed out the K. I must have slept very very well this night, grin.
NM found the ke7
yay sprite
still missing 2 of the k
my goodness, sprite! Did you monkey them or remember them or what?
lol periwinkle in true form :)
haha peri!
hi Sprite
most I remembered, jilli. One I found by mistyping another one and getting two letters mixed up. The rest I monkeyed.
hi lyn :)
your monkeys are much smarter than mine
I must confess I force my monkeys to learn K-words, every day, 10 minutes before they get milk, banana and sleep ;)
LOL!
oh jilli, talking about animals... Do you know the treatment they call Tellington TTouch?
going back to bed
Can anyon explain why babble accepts 'turk' but not 'turkish'?
It knows not of delight.
a turk is also describes a cocky young man
because tu4 can be used without a capital in some meanings, and tu4ish always refers to the country and is capitalised.
Because it has more than one meaning - it is a proper noun, but also a description of a cocky man. It's the same as it accepting tu6 - a country, but also a type of poultry.
Good morning/evening all.
morning Haz
hi Haz
Tellinton Touch? No -- what is it?
Hi Haz
*Tellington
Hello, lynxx, sprite, jillibus.
if I can swing it, it will be my new occupation once I am better. It is a way of massaging animals, that balances the .... oh dear, word... nerval system?
*grabs dictionary*
Nervous
nervous system
thanks Haz, you were faster than me and my dictionary
Oh, I have heard of massaging animals, yes.
it is used to train animals, but also to help them heal from abuse, trauma, operations, etc.
It sounds niiiice!
Will Terra be a willing traning helper?
it is, and the results are spectacular. I already entered Terra and myself into a basic workshop. If I can get the invalidity benefit organisation to agree, I might be able to do the whole... education? Official training? School?
Sometimes we just use the word 'course' to cover the same idea.
oh yes, Haz, he already is. The funny thing is, I 've known about TTouch for a long time and always thought, oh, if I could do it al over... and a couple of days ago it clicked. Why not now?
ok, thank you. The official course is much more intensive than the workshop I am going to do now, but I thought something simple would be a great start.
Would you be able to do the training locally?
found out yesterday that there is a training in the netherlands now. Far from where I live, if anything in the netherlands can be called far away, but it happens the mother of a friend of mine lives in that very town.
Sounds like a great idea -- maybe it would work for people too?
It would be useful to have someone to stay with, that's for sure.
it does, jilli, even though it was developed for animals. But it is not surprising, in the end we are animals too.
phantom -- lariat
Well, that's what I was thinking.
I have 50 left so now I can go to bed. Busy day tomorrow.
the first year will be 3 days in school every month, the rest you get to do at home. The 2nd year will be a couple of intensive training weeks of 6 days, and again the rest at home.
bye jilli, sleep well!
Goodnight, jillibus, sleep well.
bye Jilli
Sprite, that sounds just perfect for you.
I really feel that way! Am so excited :)
It leaves you time for babble. That's a plus.
Goodnight all -- happy babbling! *poof*
not just a plus. It is a conditio sine qua non.
what is that in english? A hard condition?
Either non-negotiable or is 'a given'.
thank you!
You're welcome.
courses will be given in english. And some in german.
No matter how hard they try, the German course will sound much harsher. It's just the nature of the language.
oh yes. I think Dutch sounds pretty harsh to english ears as well.
Maybe a tad, but German always amuses me, it's impossible to make it sound soft and cuddly.
unless you hear what the Ostrians do with it... from them it sounds like singing.
Oh, I haven't heard them.
Or do you mean Austrians?
let me check
yep, Austrians. Sorry.
If it's Austrians, then I do know what you mean - we had an Austrian language assistant at university and he was decidedly sing-song in his intonation.
guess I was making them into big birds with that spelling
Ostrians stick their heads in the sand
hiya ruru :)
how do the dutch spell Austria? and Australia if it comes to that?
German rendition is Osterreich (with an umlaut over the o)
Australia is Australië. Austria is Oostenrijk.
Hello to you, ruru.
hi haz and sprite and lynxx I have already said hi to
Oostenrijk looks lovely, better than Austria
The realm in the East, it means literally.
There is going to be a new series of Torchwood! (sadly in a year)
oh! And then it will take at least an extra year before it reaches us.
They probably have to save up to pay John Barrowman's wages.
In conjunction with a US cable company, guess that's where his extra money is coming from
I've never seen the programme, just know that it has a devoted following.
the dialogues are brilliant
It's more the personalities than the Dr Who action but is very good
BBL we are having a best of Dr Who weekend and I haven't seen this one
enjoy lyn!
See you later, lynxxx. Sometime we should set up a Dr Who quiz to establish who is the greatest Who fan. FM will fight you to the death!
would love that to be in babble chat. I will come and watch.
We'd get ruru to keep score.
that would make for interesting reasonings and comments
hello
hi lady! *takes off hat* Congratulations again!
I'd just have to be a spectator, they could ask anything and any answer would sound reasonable.
Hello, herin.
same for me, all I know is the original Dr Who.
waves hello
As in William Hartnell?
William Hartnell and Tom Baker. The others I do not know.
I know, there have been so many.
enjoying a bit of a break now, lady?
Just a day yes \
you definitely deserve more than one
David Tennet was a Dr
A friend of mine is a Dr
Christopher Eccleston was the first new generation Dr Who
I have trouble adjusting to another person playing the same part.
William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee, Patrick (?) Troughton (I think), Tom Baker, COlin Baker, Peter Davidson, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Chris Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith :)
Dr. Hook? UFO's "Doctor, Doctor" perhaps? Dr.Feelgood? Dr. Death? Drink Doctor? Mangoes to the Doctor, and tastes very fruity...
lol Ata, and hi
Patrick Troughton 1966-1969
correct, of course, Smugalante
Hello Ata!
(coughs NERD)
grin :P
morning all. how many words today please
hi sandra, 214 today
Good morning, 214 words.
*smug*
my it's a biggish grid today
are you on msn, Ata?
nope, just a flying visit, couldnt resist showing off :P
considering I am trying to do a General Knowledge crossword
moderate, sandra, and the first half will go fast. But I hit a rather unmovable wall at a little past halfway
wanna tell you something, but will email instead then.
How is my smug Kitty and the poor poorly husband Ata?
k!!
got a very pesty pup here who desperately wants a walk :)
hello! my mouse died last night and, not having a cat, was out of luck.
Fortunately, DH is letting me borrow his.
aw sweetie! Go walk, and enjoy!
bloody husband is still in bed!
Hello ruby.
hello sprite and ata ahd herin
HHaz! hi
hi rubyfoo, computer mouse or real one?
Hangnails need a long recovery time.
what's ailing him?
they do. very much so. he did say he'd come walking with us, but I doubt it somehow now!
I don't mind real mice, it's only the computer one which is a bother!
so... you can walk the dog with your brace, but he cannot with a hangnail? Notice me not saying anything.
Those darn hangnails, ata!
lolol I know!! so typical
I'm dealing with a husband who is sulkyg because I'm caught up in watching the World Cup, rooting against France, naturally lol
I'll jump in for a minute, but he'll probably ask for his mouse back!
rubyfoo, open my profile for a picture of your mouse
for sure, sprite, especially after I get through with it!
hehehe. Oh and your hubby cannot get his mouse back until you are done using it.
ok, off I go! back in a bit :)
bfn Ata!
See you later,Ata.
Later Ata
Tell the Hubby that the World Cup is important and to hush
just wait 'til the Worl Cup and the Tour de France overlap; he'll go crazy!
speaking of bfn, BAFANA and shabalal should be added to the enable lexicon!
Sprite Question
lady: answer
Are you aware of the NL Supermarket World Trinkets?
bafana? shabalal?
all those cup related gifts you mean? Like the little beasties and the waving hands etc?
? They are apparently something the supermarkets have for the Worl CUp in NL
oh yes, pretty normal here during cups.
bafana is the name of the SA team and Shabalala was the striker who got the SA goal. It was a thing of beautify. And DH isn't interested, he only plays the remote!
lady, try this one: http://www.ah.nl/beesie
I was just wondering if you could contact MonkeyGames if you happen across any for her dear little boy Walter
I am pretty certain Walter already has a whole load of those, and others.
must run, but will see you later if DH lets me keep using his mouse!
Bye, ruby.
It seems he now has Orange but someone stole his first one and it mad me sad and then I remembered you
Bye Ruby
Sorry Sprite it was a random brain fart
the big ones are already sold out, I think. The little ones are abundant.
you're a sweetheart, lady
bye rubyfoo
Hi everyone! Had internet problems all week, so haven't been able to play Babble (boo!)
I have no idea what they are it just saddened me that he had it taken on a happy note a lady gave him heaps
Hi pinny
Hi Herin
Hello, Pinny, glad you've got back again.
hello Pinny
Hi Haz. Hi Sprite
I'm delighted to be back
Sprite the same thing happened to me in primary school twice. First it was my fathers very rare medal from one of the English Football clubs and next it was my pencils (expensive present) and the person that took my pencils said it wasn't them but the teeth marks at the end proved otherwise
You don't realise how much you use internet until it's gone.
We've been going mad chez Pinny
those are rotten things to happen to a child, lady :(
My dad was not impressed. I think we were doing something at school on football and were assured that it would be safe
as it should have been
O bless I was just watching a video and this little lamb did its food bleat and the little boy feeding the lamb started to cry as he was upset that the lamb was
aw bless his heart
It was very cute
Back shortly.
bfn Haz
Later Haz
must be off too, later all
Later Sprite
back for 10 minutes
Morning everyone--or afternoon. this one is looking a bit tricky? Or maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet?
tier
rats!
morning all
Hi Fish. How's this going for you?
just started
the first ten were ok if that's any help!
Me too--but it's not buzzing along nicely in the beginning
more coffee
lol. Usually I get 100 pretty fast. not today, I fear
Yes--I'm getting some now
this grid desperately needs a E where the H is!
hi, all. just been watching the guards trooping the colour..
nice day for it
hi
halfway. gonna list
my brain has frozen from K onwards...
time for coffee methinks
This grid is going to be challenging, I fear, and on a busy day!
got that right, Mudd - hit a wall at 75
NB is it looking a bit brighter today?
hmmm...not really. luckily a good friend of mine came to kidnap me and take me back to his flat, so I have a little space to think about it.
Ok. Good
thanks for asking, though :) how are you?
Dealing with Sicky Grumpy PAnts has your friend got a spare spare room
sorry, wish it was so, but we're living in each other's pockets as it is ;)
ehhe Or I could have stolen you
I missed yesterday, NB. are you and Leo fighting?
It is ok I just have to remember not to smother him whilst he is sleeping
kind of, Jay. well, yes. he cheated on me with a guy from his office.
Oh, that is THE worst.
lehrs
rats
yeah, I'm kind of shell-shocked to be honest. think I'm gonna go for a run...bye, both of you :)
run fast, NB
shall do, Jay :) take care
Take Care Nancy
Finished with the a and d words, but not much else.
Good Morning everyone!!
HI Mum
{{Herin}} good evening to you
How you?
just fine, and you?
about ready to go to bed?
tired and having to deal with sicky
who is sick?
himself. leaving him alone to have man flu
oh dear, I hope it doesn't linger too long AND you don't get it
I wont. Did you read about Jellen and Tim
oh no, what happened? I had heard he had the melanoma in his liver.
Yep that is the news :( Just thought I would put out a think of them and give Tim manly hugs in your thoughts
I will do just that Herin. Thanks for thinking to tell me.
Thats ok. Brb need to go inform someone that the house is not a barn
lol
Back. Rolls eyes someone doesn't like to close doors and then I had to do a poopy amount of house chores
oh Herin, you have your hands full
All done now. Had to refill and clean the dirty trays, hang up washing in the clothes airer, put on more laundry and pick up some garbage that was floating about
Have yuo seen the Flylady and Simple Savings sites?
you did all that and I just sat here. I am ashamed of myself. :)
I have seen the Flylady but not Simple Savings
Took me 15 minutes. Simple Savings is an Aus site that gives you budget idea. Not as awesome as Angelsongs book
OPPS Wrong Babbler I meant ch1212
I follow Flylady, and have for years and have adjusted it to suit me and my sweetie since the boys have left home
:)
Well I found another website (or it found me) http://timemanagementninja.com
ohh Time management (I sorely need that)
http://www.simplesavings.com.au/ this is the Simple Savings site. it too is free but Aussie and NZ based
I have bookmarked both sites to look at when I get home this afternoon
I found Timemanagementninja on FB is great I am not sure that TMN is email based
I will be leaving here in a bit .... have quilting class this morning
it is a rainy day today, perfect for sitting indoors and babbling.
I can't wait to read them. I am always looking for new ideas
O Crafty person. Did you see the posts yesterday?
There were some talking about crochet and knitting, but don't remember what day that was
the Craftzine comment?
no I missed that
Good morning everyone! missed the flip!
but I WAS here for the discussion about ravelry yesterday!LOL
http://craftzine.com/
or http://www.freepatterns.com/
good mornng m9f9l. Back again, so nice to see you. I never make the flip as it is at 1 a.m. my time
I hope to make some letters for Dan and M and Maggie
I did mention ravelry one day but didn't see the discussion about it
Mom:http://tinyurl.com/39dxm2j no jumping up and down either
{{Herin}} thank you so much
as much as I would like to stay .... have to go now. Will be back later this afternoon or early evening.
So glad we got to chat, Herin. Pleasant dreams to you.
Go and enjoy your day. Hi M9
{{Hugs}} to all m9f9l, have a good day.
bye Herin
you too Mom!
byes
Good morning to all.
gm
Hi kje.
How hot is it down there, kje?
hot
not sure of the temp right now, but when i got up at 0500 it was already too warm to enjoy sitting poutside
LOL
outside
poutside may be a useful word though
maybe a freudian slip
It is VERY humid here. When I got up an hour ago the windows were steamed up.
How is your mother doing?
my mom is doing well - still more tired than she would like, but I think less than a month post-op at 80 that is to be expected
she does not like that answer, btw
Good for her.
Her feisty attitude is great.
hEy hey
she has no other sx, they removed all the intraabdominal masses they found, so she prob has 9-12 months, I would guess
I am waiting for garage door repairman to arrive--sometime between 9-12.
Hi herin
I am getting ready to shower and meet a friend for coffee... before I leave, I will be setting off bombs
Is lung mass enlarging?
how is the mood, herin?
she had the lung surgery just over a year ago, and there is no mass there anymore... there are a few cm size nodes, however
afternoon everyone
I expect sx will be GI vs lung, but we shall see - thankfully she has been really assymptomatic except fatigue
hi k-k-k-katie
I am glad that you mother has that fesity attitude, kje, as I am sure that has helped her to get this far.
Hi Katie
Hi Katie
absolutely
hello all you dear sweet people!
Hi nonnie
good morning Babblers
hi nonnie
kate - do you know what that is from?
hiya nono
HI NOno and Nonnie
no kje
it is from a barabra streisand movie
which was used b/c it came from an old song
hold a sec
hello everyone
Hi Annie of Brooklyn!
here is the chorus
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore; When the m-m-m-moon shines, Over the cowshed, I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
hello annie
hi Annie
Hi nanette
I think it was a WW! song
WW II song I believe
thats lovely kje, I will look it up on the net
or 1, i have no idea
hi nonnie, nono
I remember that song, kje. My parents used to sing it.
written by Irving Berlin
Hi hydra
old barbershop quartet music
kje, so sorry to read about your Mom.
Hi all. Just popped in. Hard grid today
thanks annie, she is doing well though
hi hydra
hi hydra
Hi Hydra.
I'm slowly plodding through waiting for the doctor to phone me back
hello hydra
Hi Annie
kje, I am glad that she is comfortable
now I am laughing, katie, cuz I think I have done that a lot when you have come in, and now realize you had no idea why... must have thought I was weird - LOL
hi herin..the good student
Hello Nonnie, Nonno, Annie, Katie and kje
Grin
hello all...back to finish (or try) before work.

I just thought it was really sweet kje :-)

Great work, herin!
Yes yes I did
wtg Herin
hello nancy!
is this your high distinction, Herin? congratulations :)
well done herin
Tea anyone?
Hi herin. Oh, and Nancy!
Yes
off to the hospital to see the doctor see you all later
hmmm, not yet, Annie. Staying at a friend's at the moment. Thanks for asking, though :) how are you?
why yes Scrabs tea would be a welcome change this AM
no thanks scrabbs, having my coffee as we babble
bye
Yes please, Scrabbler.
bye bye katie
bye Katie
hello, Hydra! I haven't seen you here in a while
no thank you scrabbs but thanks for asking
I got a 68 in Payroll which is a Credit :D 60 in Consumer Protection Law 82 in Conveyencying HD
I've had the odd lurk...
me too - I must go shower and get ready to meet friends - hagd all
bye bye kje
NB, a separation of sorts might be just what is needed right now, hope this resolves the way you want it to.
congrats herin! very proud of all your hard work! keep it up
bye kje
I am i am
poof
way to go herin!
Aw, NB, what happened? Leo + you having a fight?
thank you, Annie :) well, our flat is tiny, so we'd be living in each other's pockets...which was fine before but a bit tense now.
Great news, herin! Congrats.
you could say that, Scrabbs. he's cheated on me :/
Way thank you
what does nbt mean?
Oh no, Nancy. You must feel devastated!
oh NB... I'm so sorry!
no blank tiles m9 (at least one word from each tile was found)
"no blank tiles??"
yes
that wasn't a question.. I was guessing!LOL
I have quite a lag here...
OK, back for a sec... it was WWI - here is a link for the song
http://tiny.cc/kkkkaty
OK, off again
And you got it right!
around that, Hydra. just very confused at the moment - not sure where to go or what to do really.
I'll be waiting at the k k k kitchen door.
Did you find out, or did he admit it?
Poor, NB--betrayed. Are you able to move out? Do you have another place to live?
he just came straight out with it and told me! said he had to get it off his chest. well, I'm glad he feels better...
I'm so, so sorry. Like Scrabbler said, do you have sme place else to go?
wow. Totally sucks.. but better than you finding out. I think.
long time.. or one time drunk?
It was quite brave of him to confess...
Come over to the states NB--we.ll take care of you
No, nowhere to go. I'm with friends at the moment but obviously, I don't have family anymore, so...arrrgh, what a mess.
(((Judy))) :) I don't know, Hydra, I feel pathetic, but I wish he hadn't told me. I really wish I didn't kn ow.
My heart goes out to you. Here is a big cyber ((((((hug)))))
Nancy so to sound naive but surely now your parents shouldn't turn their backs on you. Confused but that is ok
NB, I would let you move in here if you lived in the States.
thanks, ((((Hydra)))) - I need as many of those as I can get these days ;) And I dunno, Herin. They told the extended family I was dead. I don't think they're gonna resurrect me because of this; it's probably karma working out in their world.
It's their loss, Nancy. I'd be proud of you if you were mine.
they what?!?!? Someone would do that to their child?
And M9...he says it was a one-time thing. So that's something, I guess
it's sad but it's a culture thing..so sorry for u nb
Do you feel you could give him another chance, Nancy?
my daughter had a friend in law school who had a hip operation which left her with a slight limp and her family told her she was damaged and would not make a suitable marriage. They are Korean.
Hi NB and all. Just a thought, but I think you said when you met Leo he was with a girl and you turned him. Is it possible that he had a bit to drink, was a bit curious and bitterly regrets it now?
thanks, Joanne :) And Annie, that's awful! That poor, poor girl...
(((((NB))))) I'm so sorry
NB I gather that time heals all wounds with parents and I feel that it may be harder for them given that who you are is not in their cultural scope.
Uh, oh, the garage repairman just called and is on his way. I must change out of pajamas lest I send the wrong message to him.
Nah Scrabbler give him a thrill
Oh Scrabbs. Thank you for making me laugh :)
No way, herin. My girls must get harnessed up.
Nancy, is he truly remorseful? If so and you still love him, maybe forgiveness (even though your feelings are still raw) is the right thing. We all make mistakes. I'm not saying we all cheat but we all make mistakes of some sort or another and I believe the truly repentent deserve a second chance. That is if they haven't totally destroyed everything they once had.
lol scrabs I'm sure he has come upon worse than pajama clad women
Perhaps you'll get the repair cheaper, Scrabbler.
Must go, but be strong, Nancy. If it's real true love, it'll turn out all right x
Or for free, Sally?
snort Scrabs
Depends on the pyjamas :-)
Bother, must go. Back later.
Thanks, Hydra :) take care xx And Nonnie, he was...very. I almost ended up feeling sorry for him. He was crying before I was.
BBL, friends. NB, reach out to your support system to find a solution.
bye bye scrabbs
NB my gay friends dad declared him gone and so did his mum but in the end his mum come out of it. Realised it was better to have someone true to themselves or have them living a lie
Take care, Scrabbs. I'm so glad I have this place!
i have a daughter that has done some things that i nor she should be very proud of..she don't know i know some of them and a son whom never does anything productive but i still will do anything for them because that is unconditional love for your kids but some cultures don't see it that way
Well, Nancy...time will help. I hope it works out whichever way is best for YOU.
nb u are in the big house of babble
hey all
Thanks, Nonnie :) I hope so too...!
Any way Nancy Family is who you have in your life that is important to you regardless of whether they created you or not
NB you have lots of Aunties and godmothers here in the US
quite, Herin. As far as I'm concerned, my friends are the family I chose...
care share and hope to make you feel somewhat better
Good gracious...a limp is damaged goods? With that way of thinking was all should be sent to the curb with the rest of the garbage.
sometimes friends are more understanding and less judegmental
You are right there, Peri :) what I lost out on with my own family, I inherited twice over here!
some people have very demented minds
I remember when my highschool pal was living with us and told her parents she was gay. Her mom kept sending her "get well" cards....
weird how they were raised to believe in something perfect..
see that's weird m9
wow, M9! Goes to show, I guess...
get well from what?? i am who i am
very weird
and her dad was threatening to take her to court to change her last name...
omg
how sad!
Sadly sad, m9.
nonnie, I was shocked when my daughter told me about her friend's parents attitude about her slight slight limp. I couldnt imagine it. My son has Down Syndrome and he is a wonderful person and lives with me.
Can you imagine what they would have done with him? Nonnie
I had a sister with Down's. My dad could never accept her.
We would joke about how she should change her last name to blank blankety's daughter
that's great annie.. we don't choose how we come out, we just make the best of it
sg, what happened to your sister?
well for ages girl babies were left to die....
She passed away at the age of 22. She had congestive heart failure.
oh Science, how upsetting :(
ohh science that's sad
bbs
and don't EVEN get me started on how children are treated in general.....
Yes. This happened in 1994
I learnt years ago if you didn't like me for who I was you could go get stuffed as I wasn't changing fo rno one
Science, I'm sorry.
Each and everyone of us has something different from the other. Isn't that what makes us unique and wonderful? Some cheat themselves out of the most wonderful relationships because they can't accept differences. My daughter has a deformed ear. She was teased in jr high...she never knew it was "different" until someone pointed it out to her.
Science :(
Children are cruel
uhoh, getting that message again "word could not be added"
Science, that is so sad.
so the chat closes down
Annie ignore the grid:D
I've gotten that message but my chat doesn't close.
On to something brighter.....we are having a classical guitar concert at our house tonight!
glad I homeschool
nonnie funny you say that , i saw a chubby girl riding her bike across the street and it looked like she was crying(about 15-16ish) and i said to hubby she looks like she's crying...i felt so sorry for her
sounds like fun, science.
I want to come science!!
M9 I think I am with you on that.
i can just imagine why
It should be and the house is shiny!
I can't imagine living in a shiny house!! sigh.
Clue please for re 6/18
It only happens when guests come over
(of course cleaning would cut into my game-time)
Joanne, did you find out what was wrong?
re 6/18 to get up again
gran.. get up again
WHEN MY BROTHER WAS IN KINDERGARTEN, he couldn't stop talking about how cool and funny his best friend Jeremy is. When we met him, we saw he was in a wheelchair. . . On the way home we asked my brother why he never told us that Jeremy was in a wheelchair. He simply said, "Because it isn't important."
From it Gives me Hope
Thanks and finished
Herin..that
s so sweet@
out of the mouths of babes, huh herin :o)
awww herin that's so cute
way to go gran!!
That is fabulous herin
herin I love that story!
congrats gran!
Nonnie... where in states are you?
classical guitar! I want to come.
and that's up bringing too
I know a child who has Ceberal Palsy...when he graduated high school the entire class stood and aplauded when he crossed the stage on canes
Arkansas--not too far from the flash flooding. Fortunately for us and my extended family, we are all ok. Others were far less fortunate. (heartbreaking)
'morning folks (when one of my kids was young, maybe 5 years old, we were at the beach and some bonehead adult called her 'fat'' .... she just looked up and said, óh yeah? well i can go on a diet but you'll always be an as%%hole" --- now where'd she get THAT from?!)
True. My mum says I would be great to work in advocacy with people with needs as I usually am the kind of person that doesn't stare. My friends brother is high needs Autistic and he came down the stars bare arsed nakid and everyone not family was embarrassed I just said ''You need ot go to your room and put pants on please''
lol
ROFL Welki!
The floods are horrible!
hahaha welk
lol welki---wise beyond her years!
Welki, that's awesome
Science I do worry about that.
no doubt about it, she's my kid :)
herein - good job! I would have been amused not embarrassed
smart right
nb u still here??
sg, what happened with your job?
hope you're laughing
more like smarta$$ joanne (if you were referring to me *lol*)
just about, Joanne
O Welki. I had fire red hair at one stage and this little girl said ''Mummy her hair is bright red'' and all the mum did was smile and say ''Yes it is''. Most adults I met at that time were just rude
my son babysat every Friday for a couple to go on date night. They had 4 children, 3 on autism spectrum and the one very autistic. They were SO happy to have a sitter that wasn't wierded out by it all.
i had red hair, too! we must be related :)
Far as I am concerned these are the truths in life: we all get old.
my mom had red hair... can I be an honorary member of your family?? lol
Annie - I took a layoff!
I never ever see someone as a box.
Science did you run away?
m, if we went back far enough, i think we'd find we're ALL related
That reminds me of the young man who was having words with my husband. My husband was angry with him for parking in our drive with his music blaring at 2 in the morning. The young man was asked to move and of course he got nasty with my husband. He told my husband that when he finishes HIS education HE won't be living is a small town like ours. He will be a millionaire by the time HE is our age! My husband said, that may be but all your money won't save you from being an idiot!
yes! ran away like characters in the Holy Grail running from the killer rabbit
I think Science did it just so she could be more awesome crafty
sg, was that the way to go?
yep, nonnie .. can't fix stupid
I need to get off here and get ready for this evening....crafty?! LOL
good morning everyone;))
Annie - yes because he wanted to cut salaries by 10k/year!
hey crossy
hi crossy
Working on Crafts not being crafty as in sneaky
morning crossy
HI Crossie
I like both conotations!
hi all
have fun science! I hope it is an enjoyable evening.
thanks, I will report tomorrow!

hiya crossy and boo!
Hi everyone - back again
Hi Nonnie
Hi Pinny.
HI Boo
hi, Crossy :)
hello crossy and pinny
Hi Pinny and Herin
and hi to boo
Annie, of course he didn't! and some folks did not get a cut at all, but of course, they are sworn to secrecy!
wow this chat goes fast sometimes
weekends should not be miserable....and wet wahh
NB - really so sorry to hear about you and Leo. My only advice is don't make any quick decisions.
I need to get a move on also. Supper with the family and I'm supposed to bring a dessert. What to do what to do what to do?
sg, that is a horrible place to work
we work all week for this..the gods must be crazy
bake a blueberry pie!
Annie, let's pray that my jewelry business picks up now that I can concentrate on it
I have to do homework tommorow
thanks, Pinny :) I'm trying not to. I have been chain-smoking instead..so much for quitting
emmm sounds good science. I was thinking of fruit kabobs with a smidge of chocolate brownie in between.
i want to see those pearls, sg
sg, your jewelry is beautiful and so creative
I bought a pack of 10 yesterday and smoked two before throwing the rest away
something with jello wink wink
lol joanne,i live outside when i work,so i am actually opposite.i want the nice weather during work daysbut i do not care if it all falls apart on my days off,cause then it is not me standing out in it lol
oh, they are not photographed yet Welki!
it's strange how easy it is to return to our crutches when a crisis hits
i am a pearl whore
but who is that hurting..if you think about it
oh, well, then I think you might love these....
you got that right, Pinny. Luckily for me, this is a smoker's flat...
well ..welki.. the world is your oyster then..
i read all about the fund raiser, sg .. what a heartbreaker
like we always punish ourselves because of others
nice, ru ... and g'morning to you :)
That's unlucky for you NB!
Science did T get back to you?
ahhahaa m9 too funny :o)
Yes, it is sad, Welki. She is getting fit for her arms now
T????
hi Welki and ruru
hey boooooooo
Trish
no....
on the contrary Pinny, if I couldn't smoke 'em, I might have gone mad by now ;)
LOL is anyone even working the grid??
yes, I am, sort of!
NB you SHOULD be mad!
joanne is right nb,i smoked for 25 years and the only reason i quit was not for what they cost,it took a doctor showing me x-rays with lots of dark shadows to make me quit.i know your under stress but health is wealth nb..toss them away again
trying (not too successfully)
Dang
alot of chatting going on..its saturday
I am, but very slowly. A week away from Babble and I feel like I'm illiterate
grid? wwhat is this grid of which you speak? ;D
Okay, you fine folks....here I go *poof*
Hi owl
Hi Owl
a week away from babble??? i would have to be in prison lol
bye bye science
You're right...I do know you're right. Smoked until I felt dizzy last night. Didn't jam well with what I'd "eaten" (drank).
Our internet went on the fritz - pretty much the same thing
That is because we are avoiding this beastly grid
doctor seen shadow on hubby's lungs too crossy and he rememered 6 months later and quit
hi all. oops washer just stopped time to hang th e laundry

good clue, welki
I was thinking of the lime wedges that came with the tequila...it's some nourishment, right? ;)
after battling with panic attacks for several months (as you all know), i'm delighted to say I've had four interviews in the past week - all panic attack free, and have now been offered one amazing job and am awaiting a second offer
ty ... pinny, good news, please!
ty welki
nb....
WELL DONE
Lots of claps.
wonderful!!!!
:D thank you!!!
NB tsk tsk Tequila is the devils pee pee
gives stern uncle crosshair look to nb lol
pinny, that is WONDERFUL news...good for you
wtg pinni
and the best bit is, both are for american companies, so i'll have to travel to the states as part of the job :)
well at least you won't get scurvy
congrats Pinny!!
ohhh, good for you, Pinny!! A friend of mine has huge problems with panic attacks...well done you for conquering them, I know what a beast they can be
i've been out of work since losing my job a year ago, so it's a massive relief
sweet!
yeahhh you will enjoy
YAh PInny see if you can wangle it my direction (Millage Points would be amazing)
yaa for pinny!!!
it's not Google is it??
haha - might be out in melbourne around christmas/new years
sneak nb in your luggage too
there's no need Crossy, I'm paying for it today. work later will be absolute torture.
sadly not google, but a company of comparable size (that's the offer i'm waiting on). the other company is actually a subsidiary of the bigger one, but neither of them know that the other has offered me a job, so i'm negotiating an increase in the package in order to help me make up my mind
Yah Pini
always wanted to vist the city that bears my name..i should get discounts in every shoppe lol
Gos the last time I had tequila I had it with Vodka can't touch the stuff these days.
everyone on babble was so kind and helpful during the dark panic-filled days, so i'm really happy to be able to share the news on here
bummer. I'm in Googleland
<<< doesn't touch tequilla anymore
crossy give pinny a big ole bear hug
really m9??? i'd die to work there
also the wind-surfing capitol of the world I guess.
thanks papa crossy!
I don't work there.
They've always got jobs listed on craig's list!!
working at google is like getting those juicy govt jobs,they must play by the rules and advertize the slot,but in reality you will find that many slot go to family and friends
i work in the aluminum extrusion industry and when i know we can make good money, i go into soldier mode... i get rough when things need to go
very true, crossy - they've never even sent an aknowledgement email to any of my applications
indeed pinny
I better start getting to know people in this town then!!LOL
my son works at Google. I love to visit him for meals
i bark and almost bite too
where are you bichon???
oh wait. you're in portland?
* What do you call a snake that makes a lot of noise when it eats? * A slurpent.

HIAY Herin
Hiya
oh poop
BR you looking at the same grid as me?
seriously! haven't even hit the halfway point today
me either Pinny
just at 100 after almost 2 hours
and there are supposedly 6 words starting with y. SIX!
only if 6 actually means 0
I just got asked if I was friends on FB with anyone else from school. I said just that person and one other the rest can get stuffed
some yt's m9
Doing grids is very efficient ... each word you find means one less to look for .. unless you want to keep looking
True BR
just got the yts
but all the y words do start with y
big evil grin I just broke someones mind
your kidding of course BR LOL
happy bounce one of my old drinking buddies is on tv
got all the ys
I am leaving 76 words for later, bye dear babblers
bye Annis
take care, Annie!
hopefully with a sitter annie
LOL, bye!
Bye Annie
Nancy.
Herin? :)
Nancy I have a funny for you. I just managed to get a good 5 min silence of someone by telling her that this guy she had a crush on in High School doesn't chase girls. I think I could see the hampsters turning in her head.
ahhh, by which you mean, that guy is of my persuasion? ;)
Yep.
maybe he just couldn't commit herin..
lol
I found out I was o well yep cool she is doing the whole OMG
and why tell her this now? was she getting ready to marry him?
I have disappointed a few lovely ladies that way! Hope your friend gets over it
Hence the reason I could not go to the high school reunion. Because Crossie to prove a valid point that they are so interested in their fake tans and the sticks up their butts and appereances that reality needs a check
although I'm an outrageous poofter pretty much at first glance. no disguising that.
Well I have a point to get to (if she recovers from shock)
But Nancy I find a lot of Asian boys very girly and rather hot
i do not bother with that as i cannot be bothered with the drama
i let them learn it when they will
hello everybody, back for a few minutes and, hopefully, a few words. Easy grid? BR, you've got to be kidding!
lol,i cannot remember a single name from my school days anyways
"outrageous poofter"... cute
that's the right philosophy, Crossy
howdy ruby

howdy nef
...but I am still gaining full consciousness. Hi Nef
fresh bread*
hi nef
I LOVE breads!
Hi Nan
Hi Crossy, Scrabs and cyber.
howdy nef
Fresh bread sounds good!
oh yea,cut an itallian load lengthwise and slather it in garlic butter,put about 4 pounds of various shredded cheese on it,some basil and oregeno and slip it under the broiler....mmm
I had delicious pizza yesterday--soft, moist dough.
loaf
Yummy, Crossy!
mmm crossy.... man after my own heart
hi Bb

butter and cheese
Crossy, my nephew, the one that lives here with me, was in Toronto a few days ago for a visit.
my favorites
hiya Scrabbler!
very nice,though more and more each day,i consider toronto a bad representation of ontario
other than the fine hospitals
I could eat that now I think! I'm hungry! I've already gone grocery shopping, re-organized my cupboards (JUST to get the groceries IN them!) and haven't had breakfast yet
pretending to whisper in 7month old grandbaby's ear yesterday and he was grinning..then turns to me and laughs..
I would love to come to the lakes + rivers--Georgian Bay, Algonquin Park, etc, for hiking + kayaking.
now nef,you know that brekkies is the most important meal of the day
Cute, Joanne
oh i could show you places up here scrabbs...
omg scrabbs u would love manitoulin island
Someday, Crossy, I will plan a trip up north.
rike
we have an amazing hiking place here well several..bruce trail and metcalf rock
Keep trying, bb
sorry, my monkey went off on me
I know crossy, but there wasn't any food here. I HATE shopping and the last time I'd gone was 3 weeks ago
Same for me, Nef--bare fridge + cupboards.
lol my wifes indian name is "shops with a fist" lol
your wife indian crossy??
lol,no,i am teasing.i am just saying she is the worlds worst impules shopper
well so am i and i am indian lol
I need to get more flowers, then get groceries.
I have hit the wall... gtg do something else for awhile.. maybe I will be able to finish later. And, btw, who said this was an easy grid>>>>? They lied! LOL
I want pansies.
I am finding this grid to be challenging!
go to the garden centre and get some
burnt out on the d's
i have pansies in hangers scrabs
cyall later, maybe... *poof*
Two nearby farms have greenhouses + flowers--I might stop there rather than Lowe's in town.
wondered why i only have one rosebush
pink
yes,support the local farmer
did you only plant one, Joanne?
i may have to get more roses..my mom loved them
50 and stuck
ohhh u should see my garden nef
i plant anything anywhere
i had moon flowers but the dang teens were using the seeds as drugs so i squashed them
84/130--time to get into town and a stop at the dairy farm/garden ctr.
I am exactly halfway! whoo hoo!
I love roses too; but they are a pain to care for in this climate. My peace rose bush no longer has peace roses; but the beautiful red roses that bloom every other year (from the root stock that it was slpiced to) are enjoyable too
scrabs have u heard about the seeds of moon flowers??
wtg, m9!
they are also called trumpets
what are moon flowers and what do the seeds do?
they are white or pink and trumpet like
they grow balls that have seeds
mind altering if taken
i only know that because i have teens and their friends
long story
they're hallucinogenic
last da 6/33, please?
yes welk
okay, I don't think we have them here (or I've never seen them or heard of them)
what i saw was bad
i think it's also called devil's trumpet or jimson weed
:-( That's too bad, Joanne
I don't think the last da 6 exists. so there.
the last da/33 = alternate spelling of the one before it
yes welk..when i saw what it did i chopped them all down
lol m9
too bad, they're beautiful flowers .. night bloomers
have you listed welki? -- don't think that is the last one
mine bloomed in the afternoon too
ahhh, no list here yet
i had people come up and ask me what they were
looking for the da 6/33 that follows the 7/52
cyber I'm stumped!
leave the plural off the da
found one, cyber .. da + young love puts a sp***** in your eye (and it's not a splinter)
(and plural)
ty welki
welki!! you rock!
gotta love those monkeys
'welcome
some of these words are just plain stupid!
or this babbler is... shigh
Joanne, I *think* I remember something about the blue morning glorys that had a slight hallucinogenic effect too; but I never saw anyone try to get high off them (I just read that moonflowers are related to the morning glory)
m9, if cyber says the words are stupid; they are. She's as fast as stid at doing a grid I think
arise
OOOPS! Sorry! Off to PB for me!
Back again, sorry. Up from attempted nap. No good!

if you get that.. AND do the plural.. you'll have them both!
not a rodent I know!
they're UGLY, m9!

any clues on those yt,s?
and they were imported!
anyone watching the NCAA track and field today?
that WAS the clue for the yt. yt+ nu****
got 'em, m9; thx!

T for 2, and 2 for T or just two t's.....
don't know any rodents that begin with a t :(
mmmm
Clues for yt6/7? I am lost with that.
i know none that start with nu
the rodent is nu****
I have to go get ready for the day I guess. DH says I need to do some shopping for our son's 31st b'day (and he's hinting at a Fathers' Day gift for himself too!)
it doesn't start with T, nan...it starts with NU...the end is the same end for the YT
I'm lost with all 3 -- the yt's and the first sh

actually, yt + ****ge
yt + ***pod stand (camera) + vowel
crossy bangs his head on the desk.....
ok.... send Cross to ****ge!!! stat!
Did I mention earlier that I HAVE BEEN grocery shopping? And that I HATE shopping in general? DANG! I get up early and do stuff I hate and forget that I needed to do MORE of the stuff I hate! <grumble, grumble, grumble>
ty pini
ty very much -- have never heard of a nutria -- what does it look like and where is it native?

oh forgot -- we do have those --- and marmots
all over oregon.. washington... but they were imported

I am sooooo confused on the big a$$ed rat!
Thanks! I can relax now.

wtg welki ;)
yaa for welki!
congrats welki
this grid stinks
sire
i'm in The Dalles
although I'm sitting here with nothing to do. I finished my skirt earlier this morning. I'd love to go and work in the garden, but don't want to get that dirty as we have no water until 5 pm today.
sorry
I agree, seaspray! and I can't find a rodent in here, just birds!
this grid need to be sprinkled with holy water or something
another Oregonian!
lol
Oh -- even I know where that is m9 -- drive through there on our way to and from Palm Desert
why no water, nan?
I just went out and pulled weeds around the raspberries -- what a job! they wind around and are called liserons here
you found a bird ruby?
m9...you coming to our Meet-Up in Aug???
I have the same problem with wild morning glories, ruby
three: tu6, sh6 and la4
sh 6: bashful car?
I think that may be what the liserons are, as they have white flowers if left alone
must go get ready shortly for 2 parties this evening...a 50th birthday and a high school graduation...
tu 6: thanksgiving bird
have a great time, sea!
la 4: animal den or the anagram of it?
sh6 like a hawk and la4 great singer
gonna have to spread myself thin...both at the same time
can I get a clue for the far right top T (for NBT)
more threadbare
ty welki
thx welki, got it!
uh oh...different T tho
gettogeth in aug??
what you get on your teeth, sort of ta5
or they came across the steppes
<-- knows The Steppes...* thinking *
lol -- welki had the clue out before I could find the word

ta5 and plural
ta + black goo
yes, m9...check out stidmama's profile!!!
not getting that sh bashful car clue
ty nan
thx ...got it from the black goo! NBT!!!
sound like a bashful car (sh 6/33)
oops -- should have said auto!
car is so bashful that i cannot find it
k.. boy is up! gotta go!
sh6 = 3-ltr word for bashful + 3-ltr word for auto (alt spellings)
think of a 3 letter word for bashful beginning with sh, crossy then a 3 letter word for auto -- change 3rd and 4th letters to make homonyms
^5 nan!! GMTA!
finally got it, thx pini
lol
ty pini,. finally got it!
am I the only one who enjoys cryptic crosswords?
well,ill worry about it when it becomes my last word lol
nah, I like stuff like that, too, nan ;)

;)
ty anyways for the clue cyber and pinni
time for a break, crossy -- it will jump out when you come back
im sure it will
Sh*(taki) mushroom + **nga*oo (animal)
ty pini
(was trying to think of an alternate)
on my way -- back at the flip :)
enjoy the day, nan!!!

ARGH! A2Z is down.
hmmm, thanks - I'll think it over...
husband arranged to watch soccer match with former student. not here... at a bar. i said oh, too bad, i would have watched it with you. but because he was going to be gone in the afternoon for this, i waited til then to start working out. so then i'm working out, drenched with sweat, he calls up to say the bar isn't showing the game or something and can they come back to the house (and i TOLD him the whole exercise plan before he left, too)
NB problems with Leo?
i said NO you can't come back to the house i'm in the middle of exercising, i'm a complete mess
not so much problems with Leo, but problems with the guy Leo's been hooking up with behind my back. I need to go to bed...
isn't there another bar they can find? around here just about every bar has several tvs on and they will put on whatever you ask pretty much.
what!
yes, after i said that was a terrible idea he said they would find somewhere else to go
so sorry to hear this, NB.
So sorry NB. HUGS>
how did you find out?
hi, sorry to hear that nb. but (having had similar experience), I'd say that the problem IS with leo, not the other party. It is Leo with whom you have an understanding, or had

apologies here... severe lag all of a sudden
he told me, Esprit. Now I have no family, love, or home. fml.
you moved out?
sorry, I keep having little ranting moments. Alternating between cripplingly depressed and mind-blowingly angry :/
better days are ahead, nancy boy. you just can't see it now... and i'm sure there will be a place for you somewhere. (but you do have right to be angry)
didn't you like, JUST move in together not very long ago?
is this other person someone he now wants to be with or was just a fling (not that he is excused)
I second everything Dorens has said.
Yep, Hurshy. Six months ago. Apparently it was just a fling - like, a single night - but I don't know what to do. I'm staying with a friend at the moment...the flat is too small to share with someone I can't even look at right now.
definitely give yourself some space
And I third all that Dorens has said.
he told you because he felt guilty I take it?
six months is awfully soon for attention to wander whether it is a fling or otherwise. extremely worrying.
you are certainly better off without him if he's capable of such treachery, and best to know that now, yes?
that's right, Esprit. Apparently he couldn't live with it any longer. Had to get it off his chest. Well I'm glad he feels better.
Betrayal is so very hurtful, whether after 6 months, 6 years, or 20 years.
give yourself time to process it and have your space from him
Jellen i am not getting your sh 6 clue
it's too raw right now
boobear if the vowels were arranged differently it would be a word for scream
it really does take time nancy boy. Ken broke up with me april 15th - and had my replacement right ready... he had obviously met this woman while we were together. I still want to rip his head off!
*now wishes Dorens hit ken's cellar a littler harder*
maybe it's over and maybe it's not ovr, only you can decide that NB
I dont mean to be morbid, but my husband of 20 years skedaddled without any notice 3 years ago, and to this day, i
my son and his gf of 5+ years broke up and a year and half later got back together, now getting married in November
me too, ruru. He actually offered something to me, and I said no thanks, but i'd rather have a couple of those 82 burgundies. He said you can have them anyway. (but they still haven't turned up on my doorstep) think i should go pick them out myself?
only you can sort this out NB
Too bad he turned out to be a jerk NB because if I recall from the pics you had posted he's really cute!
Dorens, I'm sorry to hear that :( I just need to know whether it was just a drunk thing or whether it meant something. But...he works with this guy! He sees him every day. All his co-workers will know. It just makes me feel sick every time I think about it.
hic - I want to rip his innards out, and paste them against the 4 walls!!
So sorry, Dorens...I didn't know about Ken...
nb, it really doesn't matter, does it? He is a jerk for doing it, do you want to be with this jerk? I don't think so.
i'll help you pick out some good ones Dorens
thanks jell. I'm sorrier about Tim, though Jellen... all good thoughts to you
apropos of nothing, what's the 8 start with?
sa 8/40
ruru, the beaucastel and the gruaud larose are winners, don't you think? but i wouldn't mind the halfbottles of haut brion.. if i'm drinking alone, that's all i need... sa8, hursh
what's up with Tim? Is he okay?
sometimes a person DOES make a mistake, doesn't mean he or she is a Turd for All Time does it?
I do though! that's the stupid thing, I still love him to pieces.
is the sa8 weird or normal?
time for a lesson in self-esteem, nancy boy. you're adorable and bright and sweet... you can do better,.. and you deserve someone who cares about you
I can see I'm outnumbered here
hurshy, it is perfeectly normal for a brit
*blush*
hello
Hi, peri
actually jean,, i do believe in forgiveness and occasional mistakes... but so soon after moving in, and with someone he works with, it seems pretty rotten hi peri
So sorry Dorens, did not know about Ken
as a mistake-maker myself, i'd have to say that i continue to FEEL like a Turd for All Time...
okay ... how can they have all those welsh words and not have selkie?
thanks peri... that's the end of sanibel, i'm afraid... you'll have to find another way to get there
hi
Hi, kje
hi kj
I agree with you, Esprit...but I agree with Dorens. I mean, six months after I give up an entire family and a university place?
rats and I was so looking to going to Sanibel and meeting you. but we can arrange something then Dorens. now that I have a new car I can drive to you or we could meet half way. Owl could come too, what do you think.?
it's not exactly the seven year itch...
dorens... I will rip his head off for you
sure thing... after june 23rd i'll have all the time in the world
sorry - but cheating is the one thing that I just won't tolerate - many things are forgivable, but that is beyond the pale... if you want out, say so, but don't have an affair
Gotta go accomplish somehting for now. BBL8R.
I didn't know that part NB
ok, Dorens
well, apparently he doesn't want out. when he was telling me he was so upset about it I nearly felt sorry for him.
what ken did was really stinky. i think he wanted out.. which is ok, cause we weren't really the best match (he didn't like to talk... golf and wine were his main passions) but he lined up the replacement first and that really stunk. + it was right after i found out for sure that i'd lose my job
some THINK they want out but find out the grass is not greener
71 words left and I have not entered a one since I just got back from lunch and shopping
well, i need to go now.... best of luck in muddling this through nb! later, all
that is stinky, Dorens, I will hit him in the head for you too!!
thanks, Dorens :)
I don't believe those things "just happen"... at minimum, you have allowed yourself to get in a position that had a high likelihood of ending in sex
Ouch, did not know that you will lose your job for sure, Dorens :(
bye dorens...
no peri, we're not hitting him in the head. we are ripping it off!!! (and you are right kj, he was most definitely trolling.... so unlike who he appears to be, too)
ok, I will help to rip his head off then :)
sounds like he should meet Lorena Bobbit instead Dorens
Bye, Dorens
Jellen, did you get my e-mail
and being drunk is absolutely no excuse... if you are so drunk you are making that level poor judgement, you're an alcoholic
and need help for other reasons
hmmm, I'm not getting the clue for the 8...english ending??
Brit ending, NB
First 4 letters of sa6 + ri 4/4
the sa8 is the verb form of the word above it

i want you to feel better NB
66 to go here, break time
Nancy Boy - go easy on those pills, mate. Take it easy, ok?
I wouldn't normally Soodle - they make me feel so groggy - but I haven't slept in two days and I'm going crazy.
Take care, NB
Thanks, Jmb :) so do I...no idea how, though. answers on a postcard, please..
Thats fine, NB. Just don't overdo it, ok?
ditto
I won't, Soodle. Well, take care, all x
Thinking bout you, NB, and the invite to Ireland still stands. Any time!
Afternnon, evening everyone!
Hi, red
clue for the second ta 6/30
how is everyone?
Hello Red :)
a speaking movie after silent films boo
muddling along here red
talkies
Hanging on, red...
sorry.
and Jellen, I was very sorry to hear about Tim.
what is happening jellen.. do you mind me asking
hi jmbdobie.
The melanoma is in his liver, ruru
We're supposed to go to St. Louis soon for an appointment to find out options...
oh.. wow.
Jellen- theres liver transpland
there are new drugs for melanomas.. the FDA is just about to approve one
transplants and stuff, isnt there?
jellen -- my Mom was treated in STL for cancer....they are good people.
Don't know, Soodle...glad to hear it, jmitch...we've been there once and liked the doctor...
so did she, they added years to her life, and GOOD years.
How old is Tim, Jellen?
He's 40
Woohoo, passed halfway!
Very young. But, the medics will pull out all the stops for somebody so young, and with so much to live for.
He's pretty healthy, otherwise, except he has arthritis in his neck...
All I can think of to say to you, Jellen, is to think positive. difficult, I know, but focus on the positive. {{{}}}}
I'm trying, but you're right, it's difficult!
oh Jellen (((hugs))) just read the chog as I came in.
talk to Dr about your "treatment"...hard to explain, but they worked with Dad to help his spirits.
if Nancy Boy is still here *hugs and warm glass of milk* sweet dreams.
Tim's a tough nut when it comes to mental health issues...
sh 6/33, the first?
Oh, I am very worried about Nancy Boy. He is so young and vulnerable. I just want to give him a huge hug and tell him that everything will be ok.
most of poop + auto
me too soodles. but you're closer.
weird word, thanks ruru
Thanks, ruru!
Tim just got back from the store and brought me some turkey jerky...yum!
mmm. good job, tim! *sneaks some jerky*
Jellen, I don't know if you believe in God, but I do, and with your permission, I will add you and Tim to my prayers and to a couple of other prayer chains that I'm part of. We'll pray for the skills of Tim's surgical team, for strength, for comfort, and for healing.
I asked him to come over here for a while to chill out.... though I have never met him, I just feel like he could do with a bit of mothering (or mammying, as we say here). I have a son the same age as him, and I would hate for him to be on his own at a time like this....
sa 8?
have it in the PB then Jellen
java, I do...thank you for your prayers!
mmmm. thanks for that clue jellen! LOL (and thanks for pointing it out ruru)
I am glad you made that offer soodle -- I made it also (and meant it) but I don't have funds to get him here.
Oops! *reads back to see what she said*
You're welcome - prayer is the best thing we can do!
its the kind of jerky jell!
Ooh, yeah! I have that! *Trots over to PB and opens pack*
sa8?
sa 4/4 + ri 4/4

Time for dinner. Hope to be back later for my last 116
bye Wht have a good dinner
any clues for the yt words?
please
Also it is quite common to have a word not accepted and get "not found in dictionary" message - I had that 3 times once before it accepted the word. I find I do not check that the word has been accepted especially when I am just starting and entering quickly
mom... think chemistry. double the second letter
bye wht
thanks M9 will work on that
anyone have ri 5/12??
sorry m9 I do not, but will help you look
I got it. I tried that earlier i thought and it didn't go

thanks M9 for the yt words
ooh, you got it, never mind.
{{NB}} how are you? Sorry you can't sleep
thanks for the ri word NB

bless your heart. Are you still at your friends place?
I am good, I have my belly full and playing babble :)
m9, how many left?
35
sounds good, Mom :) and yeah, I'm still here. Just like me, he's a bartender, so he's not in, but left me a comfort package on my bed - french cigarettes and russian vodka. what are friends for, huh?
what a nice gesture for him to do
oh m9, I do wish you fireworks
thanks mom
34
yeah, he's a sweet guy. And go for it, M9 - any clues you need, just ask :)
This is getting tedious, I must list

yeah Lynx, friend of mine called Frank came to my rescue with a place to stay. It's so good of him - I've only known him a few months. There are good people out there
if anyone need 7/28 think of ***** teddy and add er to the end
sheimi, what are the first two letters?
ta, Jen :)
thanks, nancy
i have no idea what ta*** teddy is.
me neither!
but I have that one already I think . so now I know!
it's an english brand I think - the ta7...think more shabby.
cute
i don't know what you guys are talking about ta teddy?
it's an english toy brand, Jen. the ta7...think 'more shabby'.
the ta7.28 is the same as the vermin like ra7.28
nothing
Jen do you have either ta 7/28 or ra 7/28?
nope
tit for t** + a wedding cake with three layers has three ti**s.
The ra 7/28 word is comparative of a big mouse and that ta 7/28 word rhymes with the ta 7/28 word Jen
got that, nancy
oh, sorry. what were you after?
don't worry, nancy, min is trying to help and i am not getting, thick brain
sorry... someone asking me something here. Did you get them Jen?
okay, but if you need anything, just ask :)
no m9191
i need 154 words nancy boy
ok. ra+ more rodent like than anyone else...
ra7/28 is comparative form of a HUGE rodent and ta 7/28 word follows same pattern as that ta7/28 word.
oops.. no +. it's just what it means
i don't know of a HUGE rodent!
it's not so huge.. except maybe in New York!!
bigger than a mouse anyway
Jen this has nothing to do with the huge rodent of our earlier discussions today! LOL
well let's say...bigger than a mouse and smaller than a beaver.
ok got that part, what is the rest of it
although there are some in new Guinea that are 5 feet long from nose to tail
just a normal ol' nasty rodent
oh.. like a cake layer
got it!!!!!!!
I see them on the london underground all the time...they're so adorable.
it's a "more than" word
YAY!!!
got the t too!
double yay!!
good for you, Jen
i have 20 more 7 letter words!
Jen drop the r off the ta7
hi, I am literally walking by but I need he 6/24, please
hark, the he6 angels sing, glory to the newborn king..

slang for a black person, Mary, and plural
oh yum - la5.18
ohhh, the last.
da6.33 da & stars sp***** in the sky
the ta's are giving me the blues!
not light + christians give something up for **nt. and plural
ty Nancy Boy & lynxx, you are always here to help
first chrsistmas and now lent. ;-) a theme??
don't ask me, M9. I was brought up in a Buddhist household...no idea where all this is coming from!
anyone got the 8 letter word?
LOL too funny
yes
sa8 means to send up - not always in a nice way. Builds from the sa6.18
sa8/40 extend the sa4/4 & then the sa6/18
sure. Sa8 - past tense of sit + coloured bit of your eye + vowel
I'm away to walk Stew. Bye all
AARRRRrrrggghhhhh......
oh dear...how many left now, M9?
19
dinner! bye for now
bye annie
whew, got the 8! thanks for the clues!
Fireworks!
nice Merk!
what's the very last ti 4????
yeah merk!
almost done 23 left
ty, today I had to be persistent
the same as the one before it, M9, just with a different vowel on the end.
oh no...that's the second to last. the last - like what you find on the wheel of a car.
my MIL's dentures?
that would be UNDER the wheels of the car, ruru
oh doh! I was looking at incomplete list! LOL
shoot, just found the bird!
there's a difference/
??
lol .. obviously, i read something out of context. nevermind :)
did you stuff that word in jenmo?
lol welki
yes i did!!
too bad gravy isn't in the grid.. I am hungry
welkipoll: Do you make your own waffles? Would you recommend a certain waffle iron/maker?
gravy is my husband's license plate ... when you get past all the superficial crap, the rest is GRAVY
I have a cuisinart waffle maker.. terrific
potatoes isn't in the grid either!
which one, ru? the circle one?
or the 6 rectangle one?
no.. the two square one
my daughter has this terrific recipe for waffles (using yeast) all i need is the iron
i prefer square waffles.
bigger the iron the better.
but not belgium
<<< makes vanilla/waffles
i agree. i wonder where my old one is ... one of the kids probably has it
vegan waffles = seriously foul
ewwwwwwwwwww nb
*sigh* how long should sleeping pills take to kick in? should I take more, or something?
her recipe has a little vanilla in it .. strange concept, letting waffle batter rise
my mom has a waffle maker that you find in motels, the flip and cook for 45 seconds, mmmmmmm
I did buy a panini maker.. oh my gosh what a difference in building sandwiches
NB!! cigarettes, liquid meals and now sleeping pills?
oy vey .. do NOT take more. sometimes they work, sometimes (like now, when you're stressed), they don't ... best not to take them at all
know any yoga?? deep breathing???
I wouldn't normally, but I haven't slept in two days...going crazy
try reading a textbook! quick! Look around.. is there any calculous texts nearby?
i use a sandwich iron when camping, ru ... the original panini maker! cast iron ... heavy as hell, but makes one heckuva camp-pie, pizza or grilled cheese
(that was a little nod to Galaxy Quest)
pick up a Philip Roth book.. that will put you to sleep in no time
ok. 16 left
that sounds good welk
I've tried everything, but it's like I've watched a scary film. Every time I close my eyes, it just starts replaying itself.
just read the posts on my facebook ... definitely will be snoring in quick time
peril of the over-active imagination, nb. you need to visualize something else ... anything else.
ah.. circular thoughts... hate that!
If I could do that I wouldn't still be awake at twenty to one in the morning ;)
ru, you'd love them ... butter a couple of slices of very fresh white bread (yes, white bread) .. put a dollop of pie filling on one slice, make a sandwich, stick it in the iron and when browned and crisp, sprinkle with vanilla-sugar
I think there is a website to help go to sleep...
yum
or ... put pizza fixings in the bread (or use a hamburger bun with the top sliced off) and make a home-made pizza pop
http://www.jasonnewland.com/
that is the fisherwoman in you
try that NB
Did I tell you my new fishing joke? Welki?
OR... try the reverse psychology thing. Decide to be as morose as POSSIBLE...
back to waffle irons .. i made the mistake of walking into a williams sonoma to look for one ... found a beautiful $700 soup pot and a $300 waffle iron ... i could fly to belgium!
no ru, do tell
<-- may have to stick to her $10. pie iron
great, M9 - will do :) bless you for thinking of that! I hope it works.
15 to go... I may have to take a breather...
'course w-s has the waffle iron "on sale" online for $200 .. still a lot of money
get some rest, nb
Well good luck, M9. And I'm gonna give it my best shot, Welki. Good night, everyone.
a woman and her husband are away on fa fishing vacation... her husband wrapped up finshing in the morning and took a nap.. she took the boat out into the lake and was enjoying the peace and quiet and reading a book.. when along comes a game warden and says to her" excuse me ma'am..but you are in a restricted fishing area"..she replies.. " I am not fishing..I am reading"...He looks in the boat and sees her husband's gear.. and says to her.. "well, I am going to have to take you in anc cite you".. She replies tersely: "am am not fishing I am reading" He says" Well you have all the equipment in the boat, and for all I know you will start fishing as soon as I leave.
night NB... deep breathes...
american sears has the 6 waffle cuisinart .. canadian does not. i protest!
and...?
hehehe, i think i know where this is headed
" She then replies... well then, I will have to have you arrested for sexual assault then." He says:" What? I haven't touched you at all.." She replied sweetly.."Well .. you have the equipment.. and for all I know you are going to use it"
LOL..
he leaves and says' " Have a nice day ma'am"
LOL ruru
well done, ru !
:D
I just have t's left. and they're killing me.
i got a funny story about my 3 year nephew
i have a co-worker, ru, whose golden has a seriously large growth in between two of her toes .. i think it's a granuloma. incredibly difficult to treat, healing if surgically removed, is prolonged and complicated. they're bringing her to a specialist tomorrow for a consult.
clue for ta6/18
a group of folks who tell stories
ta 6/18 is plural of the ta 4/4 word before it Boobear
hope it isn't a melanoma.. they should have it tested
he went golfing with my 46 year old brother and everyone wanted to know how old his GRANDSON was when it is his SON
ohh... there are 3 i think ... like beef tar*** or a hamburger pa****
everyone always thought my dad was my grandpa
that's cute jen
i have friends from high school who have more than 1 grandchild and only in their 45ish
they had it looked at over the winter .. concensus was to leave it alone because impossible to keep dry over winter and revisit in spring
not for me!
i hope your brother wasn't offended, jen
but now, ru, it's doubled in size, so they have to do something :(
lest just say he wasn't amused!
OK.. someone just tell me soem of the ta's after ta 7/28....
bleh
can I have a clue for re 6/21?
no.. that's not what I need..

clues
te7?
A te7/28 word is plural of what bathrobe material kje
so what happened with world cup today?
sheesh - ty!
yw
and i had the ta7 with same endin.. think i would have seen that
england us tied due to brit goalie error
i suspect he is being stoned as we speak
my honey says we'll take'em any way we get'em. Notice he assumed the error was in USA favor..?
it was
the goalie knocked the ball into his own goal
that is a pretty bad error
it happens.
well, balls move fast and can ricochet... i did not see it, but heard it while driving
i have had the same problem in air hockey. :)
LOL!
there's whole videos of own goals at youtube.
sh 6/33?
The goalie didn't exactly knock the ball into the goal. The shot was right at him and it hit his hands and then kind of dribbled over the goal line while the goalie tried in vain to crawl after it.
yes, i suspect it is common... and goalie has to try to get it out of his area... so bound to happen some
sh 6/33 rhymes with three st***** and you're out kje.
Sh6/33 is a kind of bird.
ty again min
well, there ya go... wht saw it
yw
really? sh6/27?... wow, that blouse looks kinda sh6? - that is weird
I thought la 6/30 was pretty hinky looking.. as was la 7/44
yep
who was that la6 who pulled a la4?
if it had worked in this puzzle I'm sure they''d of had that blouse is sh****** than that other blouse!
nah
not that la 6/30.. the other one
as in that body of water sure is more like a certain kind of body of water than that other body of water!
hahaha - yes... how is one body of water la6 than another
well... if one is a river....
3, all k - i hate k words
ke7?
or... wow! that puddle sure is la**** than any I've ever seen!
so .. you hate yourself??
LOL
ke 7/44 rhymes with a te 7/28 word clued earlier kje
uh... I would if i had to find it in a grid
rhymes with bringing in the groceries
ah, the jonhs... thanks
you have been my lifeline min
ah - done
yay!!!
last word... kr5 and barrel
Congratulations kje on your fireworks! Good for you!
thanks to you both!
ah, the snake was your last word - grats, kje
now i guess there is no further excuse for putting off housework
ty to
so i guess ic ouldn't say, if it had been a snake it would have bit me?
i thought of you immeditaely when i saw the rogue racoon footage
LOL - yep - that was funny
you could day that ;)
the prob is they are extremely cute
at least in appearance... they can actually be pretty vicious and most carry horrid diseases
no not cute. that is ablut all i need to add to the mangeries currently in and about my yard
makes it hard to hate my unwanted housemate
or the menagerie even
that face in that clip was pretty cute!
the body and the way they move kinda creeps me out though - LOL
i can't beleive you haven't had him evicted
def walks like a rodent
might as well be a giant rat
god forbid it bites you
easier said than done, TO... the policy here is that you must fix the house and shut them out... the will not trap or move them... but no one can figure out how they are getting in
we had them in our walls in Cincy
nah - he is only in the attic... no way to get down here... at least until he gets so large he falls through the ceiling... i swear it is like listening to a 200 lb man walk up there
you cannot have them trapeed? one would think helath dept would want them right out
yes, it is getting in from below and getting up the walls somehow, but i only hear it once he is upstairs
oh heck i cannot type.
the health dept wants them out, but humanely
we have rabies here so folks are paranoid.
well trapping is humane - problem is where to put them
moving them is not - over 90% of animals that are removed from the area will die within weeks in a new location
so they say, fix your house and they will tsay out, and coexist
all well and good but you cannot wall them up in there
if you trap and release in same area, they just come back in, they are not stupid, so you are forced to release minimum of 5 miles away...
I found a blog somewhere once about a guy's struggle with racoons...
raccoons are pretty hearty critters. i'd call a wildlife remover and have roomy removed!
rabies shots are extremely painful
I have looked into this... they will come and remove it and are required to release in same area, so unless you can figure out and repair how it is getting in, it is pointless
is this a condo?
to get rabies you must get bit... it isn't as if they are chasing me down
I was not much of a ta6/30 on Babble today.I did not ta4/8 much in the chog, but here is a story of clues. I had to ar5/10 early today since I had to goto work I wore casual at6/18 since it wasn't a school day.My school district hi4 /5d somebody to give a workshop on teaching social problems. I hope they re 5/12 him again, because he was very good.I should've cleaned the house when I got home, but I was a sh7/48 and I sh5/20 my house chores. I was a hi5/20 and went on a hi4/9 up a mountain w/my dog instead. Then I was very hot so I went swimming in a la4/8.Did not start babbling 'til it started to get da 4/9. When I saw the grid size,I asked myself do I even da4/5 start this? I la5/12 huge grids. Now it is da 6/33 and I am more ti 4/4d so I stopped at 160 words. I am going to ri 4/4 out of this seat and ta4/8 a shower. Then I am going to tr5/10 myself to ice cream for dessert. Then I am going to go watch a sa6/18 on tv.Then I am going to goto bed early for my own sa 4/8. I have to re 6/18 early again tomorrow since I have a lot to do. I have to go food shopping&I have to check out the sa4/4s for the week. By the way my story today is a tr 4/5 story. Goodnight to my fellow babblers! See you later
though one night when i heard something outside in the trees and turned a light on them... they did glare stare at me for awhile... I am sure i looked like some crazy woman in a cage to them, behind the glass and staring out
I found it. http://blogs.salon.com/0001772/stories /2004/04/06/theRaccoonStories.html

Hello. Is anyone else having Babble issues?
no problems here, herin
You are right torgone. I got confuzled. This grid will do that to you.
heehee that it will.
I was having issues with the words in the grid but then I finished.
My message got eaten then I got red box of doom
Just issues with finding all the words ..
I may have to go if this doesn't work
this gets tougher and tougher as one gets more tired...
It is constantly updating and not behaving.
Sorry it is not working for you, Herin. I must be off now. Happy Babbling.
maybe close it out...and then bring it up new?
back for a few more;))
what the prob herin??
Hi again. Son's b'day party is over; done playing with grandson, DH's Aunt doing well; etc. :-) How is everyone here?
Mostly ok
Hello all
just "mostly" okay? why, tor?
sari
Heyas Nef & Scrabs
howdy scrabbs
OOOPS!! Sorry!
Bit of a cold and kind of sore ..
Great clue, Nef.
Hi Crossy.
((Torgone))--stay hydrated + get some extra rest.
"hi again, scrabs and crossy" was not found in the dictionary Well, as you can see; this *might* mean I shouldn't try and chat and play tonight!
Do you have a PC or a Mac?
Tor, chicken soup and hot honey lemon tea
Scrabs, I'm a Mac person.
Lickety can send you Babble Expert for a PC.
Aha, Nef. thus your challenge with chat + word entry.
yeah, I know I'm out of luck for Babble Expert on a Mac. :-(
But you are really lucky to have a Mac. I want a Mac Book someday.
I've loved my Macs through the years; it's just so much easier to work with (but not so easy to chat and play here)
Everytime I save money for something big I end up needing to use the money on a repair or problem.
hi all. tough grid right?
Hi mkg. Yes!
And at 108/106 I am done. Off to bed to read for a bit. See you tomorrow.
well, I think since 1990, I've had maybe 5 or 6 computers, all Macs, and only 2 of them were new. None of them had problems til the last 2; I just wanted something newer and faster. The last 2 had problems of DH watering the motherboard (missed the plants); and then the last one overheated from too much fur in the front airvents (who knew there were airvents in that particular place?
need first ae clue. the six.
niters, Scrabs
sorry, mkg. I don't have it yet; I've been gone since noon today
in the air, mkg
only problem with macs is that many of them are not user servicable.with my pc i can swap out the hard drive,change fans as needed,upgrade the video card clean the heat sinks as well as add more ram as needed
leslie, i have the last two. so not sure about this clue. will try again
ty got it.
a type of skiing?

crossy, my son does all of that for me! I could do it (and have added ram and video cards myself; but he says it isn't too hard to learn
al 6?
missing the last da 7/6/7 words
nope,computers are not about actual repairing nef,they are mainly about swapping out dead pards,they are all modular
and keeping that head sink over the cpu chip clear of dust bunnies;)\
heat
I don't know if it's the right da 6/7, but I have a da +sp***** + snake letter (sp6 reminds you of what the fireworks do; or what glitter does)
yep, you are so right, crossy.
yes needed those 2 thanks nef!
if you have no cats,clean it once every 6 months,if you have kitties,once a month lol

tyvm. how are you and tim doing?
Waiting for an appt. with specialist in St. Louis...hope to find treatment options...
hope you won't have to wait too long. ((hugs))
Thanks...me too!
I need to get to bed ... tc and hagn
You too...
did the chog die? Is anyone here?
It's just resting, Nef...how are you?
Hi Jellen. I'm falling asleep here; thinking I should be in bed already :-/
I am in bed, just not sleeping...
(((Jellen)) How is Tim today?
He's okay...
We'd both feel a lot better if we had an appointment with his doc scheduled already...
how are you guys doing emotionally? Wow; that IS hard!
I think we're both struggling...the standard pronosis is not good...6 to 9 months
I know. :-( I'm praying for you. Melanoma is such a sneaky nasty cancer
I had a small black spot on my lower leg that I'd ignored for over a year and had taken DH in to see a dermatologist for some spots on the top edges of his ears. Sure enough, he had the beginnings of skin cancer from the sun. But while we were waiting, I read a pamphlet in the office which I just asked the doctor what to worry about. Then I made an appt. for the little black dot; ended up with it being biopsied and then got called back again for a big chunk being taken out of my shin. It was a type of mole (some sort of a nevi) that changes into melanoma and was through all the skin thicknesses. And here I'd thought it was just a small black dot!
It just surprised me how tiny it was but how it was already trying to dig in and cause problems!
Yes, it's pretty scary...
if it wouldn't have been for DH's visit; I would have never thought about it. The key is it was the only black freckle or mole I had and it wasthere for just a year
I'm not that aware, I think...
good evening, everyone :)
