12:32 am

hey douglas!

face hit keyboard - that's my sign! laila tov, all!

{poof}

12:33 am

hiya Stid! Joey was not well since Thursday morning, or it could be Wed night...slow to climb the stairs would not jump on sofa, or sit up for instant attention as he normally does...I was worried enough to schedule appt with the vet for Tuesday, since their not open Sun-Mon and were full up today...but he seems much better now...

12:33 am

MELON! *laila tov, shalom!*

12:33 am

their = they're

12:33 am

oh dear, PAV. such a worry. Glad he's better! ((hugs))

12:34 am

Hello stid! America won a moral victory by drawing England in the World Cup thingy today. Pity nobody cares

12:34 am

we actually WATCHED it douglas... sad, lonely people that we are!

12:34 am

yes, I was very pleased to see him sit up all of a sudden and then speak to me again...grunting = words of love...

12:34 am

You can tell that someone who refers to the World Cup as a "thingy" probably isn't all that much of a soccer fan

12:35 am

we celebrated with Frosty Paws

12:35 am

I was on the road today, would have watched it, as it was being shown on the big screen tv at my local sports bar

I am watching Gone with the Wind. I can see why girls swoon over Rhett

12:37 am

he was a handsome man, that Clark Gable.

12:37 am

I understand Dempsey scored the equalizer for the US, if you can call the ball rolling into the goal scoring

12:37 am

I have not yet seen that...nor Dorothy's story/dream

12:38 am

any way that ball goes in, is good, Douglas...

okay off to be for me Nite all (hugs all round)

12:43 am

And what do they call that thing...a vuvuwhata?!?

12:44 am

sweet dreams Barb.

12:44 am

*more hugs*

12:44 am

um... what thing, douglas?

12:45 am

That loud annoying noisemaker that the South Africans are currently enjoying

12:45 am

right column gray...

12:45 am

oh that. I never did hear what it's called, just it sounded on our set as if there were static

12:45 am

most of them are asleep right now, I'd think

12:45 am

it was annoying.

12:46 am

It's a vuvuzela, also spelled vuvuzuela

12:48 am

found the so8 from the so6

12:48 am

thanks for the info... wonder if it will show up in a grid at some point?

12:49 am

go PAV go!

12:50 am

It's not in morewords, so even if it does show up in a grid, it probably won't count

12:50 am

thanks for the SO words

12:51 am

hmm.. board blind. not seeing a so 8

12:51 am

down to 30. I think that's enough for tonight. Back tomorrow at some point to finish. *hugs all* see you-all soon! *poof*

12:54 am

hyperbolic sine is ok, but not hyperbolic tangent. There is so no justice!

12:55 am

phantom insanity

1:04 am

I'm past halfway with nbt, so while I'm declaring moral victory, I don't feel all that morally victorious. Good night all!

1:10 am

1:56 am

I just watched the blind side

3:05 am

Yup v well thanks, how is the sicky one doing?

Being quiet thankfuly

3:09 am

:) How did the exams go?

Got to be all girlie today. Got to watch Gone with the Wind and Ella Enchanted

Exams went well. I got a HD on Conveyencying and 2 Credits on Payroll and Consumer protection law

3:10 am

love Gone with the Wind, don't know the other one you mentioned.

3:11 am

WTG herin that is great, all your hard work is paying off!

3:11 am

good morning everybody! Happy Sunday

It is.

3:11 am

Morning ruby!

Ella Enchanted is a movie based on Cinderella

HI Ruby

3:13 am

I'm still using my borrowed mouse, but at least I can get my babble fix. In between watching soccer games

I can see why the ladies all loved Gone With the Wind

3:14 am

It is such an epic tale

I was saying that in all this time no one has remade Gone With the Wind. I guess you can't find classic actors like that these days

3:15 am

funny you should bring that up herin, I have always wondered why no remake

3:15 am

"but I ain't never birthed no babies before!"

3:16 am

lol ruby

Because I don't think there could find a leading lady like that and the way it was

3:16 am

true herin

I think Robert Downie Jr could play Rhett and Queen Latiffa could play Mammy

3:17 am

and with a 19 inch waist!

No it was 18 1/2

3:19 am

hahah

3:19 am

actually I could see Q Latiffa in that role!

I remember her when she played errr help in Chicago

3:20 am

just like me, raofl!

3:20 am

oh my, firebirds crept up on me. Very nice grid today.

3:20 am

I think it could be a good film in 3D

3:21 am

Hi sandy

3:21 am

congrats fm!

3:21 am

hi sandyloo!

God No. I am sick to death of 3d

3:21 am

hi mitch well done

Yah FM

3:21 am

I have never seen one

3:21 am

the idea of 3d at home is unpleasant; life is too 3d as it is!

make my vomit can't stand it

3:22 am

me neither sandy

3:23 am

I would like tho

3:23 am

have you seen one herin?

At Imax when it is totally blocked out of vision but not when it is glasses. Have tried and violently ill

3:25 am

I saw Avatar when it first came out and although I loved the little flower/plant/animal thingies that floated around, the whole thing was overwhelming and I fell asleep!

3:25 am

I have been to imax to see a star trek movie but it wasn't 3d

My dad and I saw Nascar in 3d

3:26 am

so overwhelmed you fell asleep? LOL!

3:26 am

my mum saw Avatar in 3D - she is 83 and she loved it

3:26 am

she stayed awake

3:26 am

when things get too noisy or hectic, I fall asleep!

3:27 am

ROFL

3:27 am

God is protecting me, I guess!

3:27 am

LOL I wish I did

I fell asleep at a rock concert

3:28 am

hahah, so I'm not the only one!

3:28 am

I fell asleep half way through a 3 and a half hour production of Moses in the wonderful Paris opera house. It was hell on earth!

No I just found it very very boring

FM I think i would rather Motzart

3:28 am

oh, that, too. Opera and theater always put me to sleep

opps Mozart

3:29 am

movies and SOCCER GAMES keep me awake. And I can watch the entire Tour de France, wide-eyed

3:29 am

I agree herin

3:30 am

me too, I never feel sleepy watching the tour

3:30 am

<------ fed up with sport already and it is only day 2 :(

I got to see errr

3:31 am

beautiful flowers, FM, what are they

3:32 am

Thanks ruby they are Allium Moly (common name Golden Garlic) and the bees love them.

3:32 am

first 50, yay! (but may also be the last 50.... :()

3:33 am

I was in the garden yesteray taking lots of pics.

3:33 am

that's funny, I have three kinds of alium in my garden, 3 2 purple, one white

3:33 am

2* purple

3:33 am

we are getting some bee hives here in october for about 8 weeks while the banksias are in flower - a beekeeper is putting them here and we will get some honey

3:33 am

my camera isn't working and I can't find the manual since my son "cleaned" my studio!

3:34 am

it will be very interesting

3:34 am

that's lovely, sandy!

Carmina Burana (Orff) At Saint Pauls it was lovely

3:34 am

Ruby, are you a painter or a potter? what do you do in your studio (if you can tell us...)

3:35 am

that is one of my most favorite pieces of music but have only heard it live once, many years ago.

3:35 am

goodness knows what Mitch does in her studio on cleaning days!

3:35 am

I used to be a painted and an occasinal potter, but not have a studio filled with unfinished projects and unused equipment!

Ruby St Pauls is amazing. I go there if I need some quiet

3:36 am

now now sandy :)

3:36 am

but obviously, not a speller or typist!

3:36 am

before I "went into the world of business", I used to exhibit paintings, but it's been about 100 years now!

3:36 am

I have started painting- it's good fun

Ruby you still can'

3:37 am

wow 100 years and yet you seem so 'with it'

3:37 am

hahah

3:38 am

Hello everyone

hi lynnx

3:38 am

Must love and leave you ladies, I want to go to the local car boot fair as they have great plant stalls and I want to see if they have any fuchias. Happy babbling. Hi and bye lynxxx

3:38 am

I don't think my paintings would be able to be exhibited LOL

3:38 am

since we've lived in France, 12th summer now, I've done one bad painting and 6 good drawings, that's all!

3:38 am

The conversation reminds me Sandy - did you get the painting you were after (on EBay?)

3:38 am

bye mitch

Have fun

3:38 am

bye FM, good luck

Back later need to cook

3:39 am

bye FM!!

3:39 am

I would think it would be an inspiring place Ruby

3:39 am

hi lynxxxx!

3:39 am

lyn, I didn't get that particular one but I got another one which I gave to husband for his birthday LOL

3:40 am

cheeky girl

3:40 am

I need to rug and feed the horse

3:40 am

bb soon

3:41 am

here's a carrot!

3:51 am

yay, half!

3:56 am

Yay Ruby!

3:57 am

this is a nice grid but I probably have to give back DH's mouse!

3:57 am

back already

3:58 am

41 left

3:58 am

the only things which have inspired me here, sandy, besides taking photos of dogs and garden (millins!), are making drawings of quince

3:59 am

hmmm, I have eaten quince with cheese and wine but I have never seen a quince I will google it

3:59 am

great lumpy yellow pear

4:00 am

they are beautiful and smell divine (so I put a bowl of them in the kitchen in autumn) but are too much trouble to cook or make jelly from as they are seedy and grainy

4:00 am

interesting looking - the quince jelly we have with our cheese is a dark wine colour

4:01 am

The quince needs to be cooked for hours and hours to make the paste

4:01 am

but this week, I will make currant jelly as the birds are eating the ripe ones like crazy! it's my vitaminC mainstay in winter

4:01 am

here, when neighbors make it, it is bright yellow!

4:02 am

My mother used to make apple and quince pie - very nice

4:02 am

yes paste! not jelly

4:02 am

have to run now and see to irritable husband!

4:02 am

take care ruby

4:02 am

ahah, I've had that is restaurants but don't know how they remove the grittiness -- must have a slave in the kitchen to put it through a fine sieve!

4:03 am

we have some gooseberries nearly ripe- I shall make a pie

4:03 am

((lynxx and sandy)) are you watching the match today?

4:03 am

I'm sure that must be a medical complaint. Irritable husband disease! (IHS)

4:03 am

hello and bye hydra, yes, much like IBS! pain in the ar**

4:04 am

LOL

4:04 am

uh oh - think my husband is developing IHS

4:04 am

hi Hydra

4:04 am

aren't they wonderful? raofl

4:04 am

Hi lynxxx

4:05 am

soccer Ruby? - not me

4:05 am

hydra, did you watch the match last night? I was surprised by the result

4:05 am

and DH hates it that I watch sports!

4:05 am

what is IHS?

4:05 am

hydra's coinage, irritable husband syndrome

4:05 am

Irritable Husband Syndrome

4:05 am

I watched it in bits only as I was glued to Sense and Sensibility and my IHS doesn't like football (or costume dramas!)

4:06 am

LOL hydra

4:06 am

oh yes, not costume dramas either! Pride and Prejudice was on last week and he wouldn't watch it

4:07 am

That's why I call my partner Mr Grumpy! He's taking me to B&Q in a minute so I may have to fly..

4:07 am

Australias first world cup match is on now I think

4:07 am

halp with sa6 21 please?

4:07 am

and now I have to make him a Campari!

4:07 am

We have 5 televisions

4:07 am

make me one too Ruby

4:07 am

Isn't it a little early in the morning for that, ruby? Or is it his breakfast!!!

4:07 am

this evening, here, I think V. Germany, but I'm not sure

4:07 am

Wine o'clock here

4:08 am

We have two, plus two laptops to watch one. Oh, I love wine o'clock!

4:08 am

it's 11AM, prior to lunch (out!!!)

4:08 am

Australia's first Wld Cup match is at 2:30am Perth time, that's about nine hours away.

4:08 am

5 televisions! How big is your house????

4:08 am

can anyone clue the sa 6/21?

4:08 am

Sounds like you have a wonderful life, ruby. Mr Grumpy doesn't touch alcohol. Won't even buy me a bottle in the supermarket.

4:08 am

that's right - germany

4:09 am

they'll run it live here! bye *poof*

4:09 am

helps make the grumpiness disappear!

4:09 am

hillary, how did the dockers do?

4:09 am

Thought you'd poofed, ruby!

4:09 am

still playing, 4th quarter, 17 points down and I can't look.

4:10 am

OH NO! I picked them in the tipping- they better hurry up and do some scoring

4:11 am

I have done badly this week in the tipping and currently I am running third.......

4:11 am

I didn't go to the match today because the kids had their dance concert... and now I'm blaming myself because I'm not there to make helpful suggestions to the umpires!

4:11 am

Must go. 76 left. See you later! *poof*

4:11 am

so it's your fault!!! I am blaming you!

4:12 am

4:45 am

No, not a terribly long time, a few months maybe.

4:46 am

you should go pro it is the best $15 i have ever spent

4:46 am

I couldn't sleep so I thought I might as well get up and babble. There's a thunderstorm so I unplugged my laptop and am running off battery

4:46 am

If I weren't so busy and traveling so much, I might.

4:47 am

I would love a storm here , we have only had rain about 4 times in the last 6 months

4:47 am

and yet the paddocks are nice and green and our water tank is full

4:47 am

We are having too much, flash flooding.

4:48 am

hope you are safe - where do you travel?

4:49 am

all over the US

4:49 am

my husband is from the us although he has been here most of his life- I have been to the states to visit relatives

4:50 am

You live in a beautiful country, which I have yet to visit.

4:51 am

Australia is indeed a gorgeous place to live- we have travelled all over Aus- lovely food here and nice wine

4:52 am

unfortnately our population is growing too fast , I would like it to stay as it is now

4:52 am

I just had a terrible time finding the sa 6. Never used the plural form of that word before.

4:53 am

Really, I didn't realize you were having such growth. I prefer less populated areas, too.

4:53 am

24 words left and I've a busy day ... better get my nose in the grid.

4:54 am

fireworks

5:10 am

strangely satisfying isn't it?

5:11 am

Congrats sandy!

5:11 am

Congrats, Sandy. I've been hanging around to say that!

5:11 am

Just returned from my forray in the sunshine.

5:12 am

Have a great day ... and I'm off!

5:12 am

Bye Merk

5:12 am

me too have a great day too

5:12 am

Bye sandy

5:12 am

hi mitch again

5:12 am

Welcome back, FMitch, see you both tomorrow.

5:12 am

did the 'forray' have anything to do with cleaning?

5:13 am

lol no, but *he* is cleaning next Tuesday :)

5:13 am

what time is it for you mitch?

5:13 am

11.15 am

5:14 am

and it is a lovely sunny Sunday morning

5:14 am

we are having the sunniest days here and the coldest nights - it's really gorgeous weather (our winter here)

5:14 am

6.14pm here and waiting for australian masterchef to come on

5:14 am

that is the best way for winters to go.

5:15 am

Morning all - just 2 ys to fine

5:15 am

we do need rain tho - and I love rain so I would be good to live in England

5:16 am

Just saw my daughter's photos of her trip to Edinborough over xmas - they drove up in the blizzard and made it thank goodness, the photos are gorgeous

5:16 am

I would love to experience that sort of weather

5:16 am

that's me finished - off to make some bread

5:16 am

It was bad up north sandy, glad they made it OK Hi Kazzer

5:17 am

It is fun for a day or two but after that it is horrid.

5:17 am

hi Kaz- yes mitch there were lots of abandoned cars on the way- I was glad they made it ok

5:18 am

Diana is very much into horses - she said there were horses standing in the snow- I can't imagine that here

5:18 am

we don't get snow here

5:19 am

I have been to our ski fields over in the east and I thought it was cold but beautiful

5:19 am

have never seen it falling

5:20 am

If a hose has not been clipped so it keeps its winter coat and then you put a New Zealand rug on them and the yabe a bit of a shelter, they can weather most of the very bad weather.

5:20 am

*horse not hose :9

5:21 am

my horse has three rugs on him here LOL

5:21 am

at night and is naked during the day

5:21 am

Oh to see snow falling is like being a child all over again.

5:22 am

I think it would be awesome - when we go to england I think i would like to go in the winter

5:23 am

I was lucky enough to have a pony when I was young and dream of having a horse now but it is too expensive to even contemplate.

5:23 am

No! Come in the early summer when everything is bursting forth and the sky is blue and full of puffy whilte couds.

5:24 am

I guess it would be expensive in England- and it is fairly expensive here. We used to agist for years and it is really nice to live on the property and not have to pay now

5:24 am

mitch, we see nothing but blue skies and puffy white clouds ... I love the rain

5:24 am

To buy a decent hack would be about £5k and then there would be the livery fees which I hate to think how much tey would costs.

5:25 am

it gets toooo hot here in the summer

5:25 am

I keep telling Bruce I would like to go and live in Europe for a year to see the different seasons

5:25 am

sorry forgot that you are the sun drenched end of the world :)

5:26 am

we really only have two seasons here whereas you have the four - I love reading poetry about the seasons (like wordsworth) and imagining how beautiful it must be

5:27 am

November is a horrid month but March is much better although usually wet but them wet is what keeps us a 'green and pleasant isle'

5:28 am

HEad for the Lake District then sandy, incredible scenery and you can get all 4 seasons in one day sometimes.

5:29 am

It is where Wordsworth wrote a lot of his poetry if I remember correctly.

5:29 am

we have a beautiful willow tree in our back paddock and it has turned golden amongst the evergreen trees and i always think of gerald manley hopkins poems 'margaret are you grieving over golden grove unleaving"

5:30 am

I always think of the lake district and walking where Wordsworth and Coleridge walked

5:30 am

Good morning. You should come to Vermont Sandy. We often have several seasons per day.

5:30 am

gosh, haven't heard that line in forever - will have to google the rest of it.

5:30 am

morning all

5:30 am

it's a beautiful poem

5:31 am

evening sprite

5:31 am

afternoon even :)

5:31 am

Eva! Greeting and hello spritey sprite!!!

Spritie

5:31 am

Fun grid today sprite - you should be done in about 20 mins ;)

5:31 am

thought you might be lurking Sprite!

5:31 am

:) *hugs*

5:32 am

or about 5

5:32 am

Nice to see you Eva hope all is well with you and how is Merp?

5:32 am

not lurking, just going online! All I have done is changing the icon and theme.

5:32 am

lol FM, don't think so. I have loads of time today.

5:33 am

I must try to do the icon again, I have downloaded some plugins

I am watching this fascinating doco about 1000 Journals.

5:33 am

oh great, sandy! Though I love your 2-headed dog.

5:33 am

I will go to Vermont one day eva, I believe it is gorgeous

5:34 am

haha Sprite

5:34 am

Merp is very well. Sleeping at the foot of the bed. I'm well, except for the usual fibromyalgia rollercoaster. And yes Sandy, it is beautiful!

5:35 am

How are you FM?

5:35 am

The only time I was near Vermont on a business trip was in the depths of winter - have wanted to return to see it in the fall eversince.

5:36 am

The fall is my favorite time...no bugs for one thing. The foliage is, of course, tricky. Some years it is fabulous, others more muted, so visitors sometimes get disappointed when it doesn't match the postcards, but it is always lovely/

5:36 am

Ups and downs Eva but getting much joy and smiles out of having a garden again.

5:37 am

I would love to see it some day. The fall is my favorite season, trees in all shades of red and brown and orange the most beautiful sight to me.

5:37 am

The garden is an amazing companion, isn't it? Even when sometimes the body doesn't allow for more than a few minutes of weeding, or just looking.

5:38 am

so very true Eva

5:38 am

We'll have to have a babble meetup in Vermont in the fall some time

5:38 am

So far nothing I have planted or potted on has died instead it has flourished and flowered. Very true Eva

5:38 am

snails are eating my pea seedlings, but the rest is going great too

5:39 am

Oh now that would be a lovely meet up Eva

5:40 am

if I ever get my finances as I would like them, I will come

Sprite go put some beer in a saucer keeps the snails away and wont hurt the dog

5:41 am

There's something about the waiting, about having to accept that you do what you can to help things along and then have very little control over the outcome....snails, grasshoppers heating the basil, waiting weeks for something to bloom and then coming out to find the deer were also waiting....a lot to learn about when to accept, when to protect boundaries, when to share, when to say "enoiugh".

5:41 am

Ah if only the babble jet was for real

5:41 am

that is beautifully put, Eva.

5:41 am

lady, I will, good idea.

Snails drink beer get drunk and that is it for snails. Snails eat snail bait fall over dead then so does the dog and that is ver very very bad

5:42 am

lol Eva - I learnt that lesson earlier this spring as there were things I was going to cut/chop but didn't and they have turned into lovely plants. as the old addage goes - patience is a virtue.

5:43 am

Right now we have spinach and kale coming out of our ears. The peonies have just bloomed and one poppy is about to open (if someone hasn't eaten i overnight) The snails have gone totally gaga over the delphinium this year. I have to remember herin's beer suggestion. I used to do that.

5:43 am

I would never use any kind of poison where Terra could get to it. Couldn't bear the thought of something happening to him.

5:44 am

just trying to see if i changed the icon

Sprite we don't use baits here either or stuff that can hurt the cats when cleaning

5:44 am

hmmmm

5:44 am

here it is the potatoes and the strawberries that are showing off like mad. We have them in pots and it is amazing how big they have grown.

5:44 am

yes you did, sandy, and it is funny!

5:44 am

oh whilst on the gardening theme - anyone have useful tips for getting rid of blackfly on roses?

5:44 am

First we had an unusually hot early spring, so everything was in danger of frying, and things bolted. Now we've had nothing but rain and cool temps, so things are looking pale, but the weeds have run rampant. WE won't get potatoes for months yet, but I have had the first strawberry.

5:44 am

really, it looks the same from here

5:45 am

I am seeing the dogs

5:45 am

Sorry FM but never had it (shouldn't say that out loud)

5:45 am

if you open your profile, you will see the new one. And if you force refresh babble, it should update too.

make up a solution of soapy water just your normal washing up liquid will do then pour it over the leaves of the roses works for greenfly to

5:46 am

no prob Eva, did think it might not be a worldwide prob :)

5:46 am

have refreshed , opened profile etc and still i see dogs

5:46 am

Oh brill herin, had forgotten that trick. Thanks!

5:46 am

that was it, lady, I was trying to remember what we used to do at home, lonnnnnng ago. Green soap.

5:46 am

and it said i successfully changed it

5:47 am

I have wineberries that a friend gave me which should fruit for the first time this summer. I think we do have it here FM - roses are so finicky. I've just been lucky. My biggest problem with roses is protecting them from rodents and frost.

Garlic Chives too

5:47 am

ok sandy, try this:Close babble. Open profile. force-refresh on the icon change page, then force refresh on the My Account page. Then open Babble again.

She would mix about a teaspoon of liquid dish detergent in a spray bottle of water and just give each bush a good misting. You will have to repeat it every few days, especially after rain or heavy dew. Also, make sure that you do it in the evening so the sun doesn't burn your babies!

5:47 am

we have some gooseberries coming and I fear they will be eaten by something- field mice, rats etc

5:47 am

I should go out for a walk before it starts raining again. See you all later. Happy gardening!

5:48 am

Bye Eva!

5:48 am

bye Eva, I hope you have a good walk without too much pain.

OMG Gooseberries one of my favs

By eva

5:48 am

Thanks herin will remember that.

5:49 am

and on that note it is time for lunch - back later and Happy Babbling.

5:49 am

enjoy, FM

5:49 am

these gooseberries are really sweet and yummy

5:49 am

i am going to have dinner see you all later have a great day everyone

5:50 am

bye sandy, enjoy dinner *hugs*

Bye Sandy

By FM

5:52 am

over halfway, FM is right about this being a friendly grid

6:32 am

hello everybody, back from lunch -- 75 words this AM

6:32 am

the difference is, howe3ver, that Sprite will finish this and I won't!!!

6:32 am

hi rubyfoo

6:34 am

it is a gentle grid, rubyfoo.

6:35 am

lol my little neighbour girl (6 yo) is having a tantrum. And her parents are doing so well.

6:36 am

when my son (now 46!!!) had a tantrum at two, I used to go in my room and cvlose the door. He was too big for me to lift. It always worked.

6:37 am

When a child is 6, I think you just say "If you scream like that, a neighbor will call the police and they'll take your parents away." That works, too.

good morning babblers :)

6:38 am

no excuse for a child old enough to understand (6!!!!), not to respond to that

6:38 am

my son once thought he'd try one in the grocery shop. Yelling, banging his fists and feet and head on the floor. I stepped over him and continued shopping. The people in the shop were shocked, but he came to his senses and never pulled something like that again.

6:38 am

hello hello no no!!!

6:38 am

hey Nanette :)

6:38 am

I'm sure that works, sprite, you can't let the children be in charge!

6:39 am

oh I would never threaten to take the parents away. Never used fear as a tool, it never felt right.

ignoring a tantrum is the best defense

6:39 am

we tried to stick to the 'don't reward behaviour you don't want, reward what you do want' strategy.

6:39 am

Our neighbors have 3 under 6 and they shriek! I would tell them to save the shrieking for =danger, otherwise the neighbors will think we're hurting you. I'm sure it would work!

6:40 am

of course, I've had my share of yelling at them anyway, lol... I am very human.

6:40 am

going in my room and closing the door always worked and, if we were outside, I would just sit down on the curb and wait. That worked, too.

6:40 am

I think it's easier with just one child....

6:41 am

I was never a yeller or hitter. No good at expressing anger, so the passive way HAD to work

6:42 am

nothing like a child to draw the blood from under your nails, lol. My kids knew to push buttons that made me yell, every once in a while, something I never had done until then.

6:43 am

I can't yell and that has probably caused me problems in the end but, fortunately, not with my son

6:43 am

nah, yelling at a child is useless. But even parents are just human.

6:44 am

my children always were very good at giving me back my own words. I am very sound-sensitive and always told them when they were yelling at me: I will listen as so4 as you speak gently. Well... they told me the same more than once, lol.

6:45 am

hahah, sprite

6:45 am

'could you please yell a little softer' is a standard expression here at home. Fireflies!

6:46 am

congrats, sprite!!!

wtg Sprite!!

6:46 am

too funny "yell a little softer" hahah

6:46 am

thanks! Anything you want me to clue before I go, girls?

6:46 am

yes, pls, either 8!

6:46 am

or both 8's

6:51 am

monkeying but they don't get it!

try not your daugther _ a funny action

hi Sally

7:00 am

hi sally

7:00 am

hi Sally

yup. It's really odd, but this week the weather is so hot that its nice to sleep the day away in AC.

7:01 am

pond nets should be delivered in Wales on Tuesday and then onward to France! with thanks to you, Sally

Warm here too, totally opposite to forecast, which was good because I had to do something outside most of the morning.

You have a friend in Wales who will forward them on to you, ruby? Hope they work!

7:02 am

husband's friend....

Do hope they work.

7:02 am

what is funny is that the wife of the guy in the UK who handles them is a friend of mine from lexulous. Is this a small world, or what?

7:03 am

we have about 20 left and if they're not all girls, they should re-populate the pond in about two years

Wow ruby, that's amazing. I just found them on a Google search, have no personal knowledge of them.

7:03 am

I sent "bob" an e-mail and my friend responded!

thats neat Ruby!

Hope husband is grateful to you for finding them...

7:04 am

we are all connected and in a very nice way!

7:04 am

intermittently, sally, the rest of the time he'[s still a jerk!

7:04 am

I am grateful to YOU for finding them because he was driving me crazy!

If you can't change him you just have to find a way to cope with him and keep yourself sane :-)

7:05 am

now I'm going to wee d the raspberries before the game

7:05 am

babble certainly helps!!

7:06 am

I think we are both much too old to change much!

I've just had a very late breakfast! But I was out at 8 this morning with just one cup of coffee, so have only just showered and sat down.

7:52 am

morning, all. any Babblers using OpenOffice Writer?

7:54 am

nope, sorry :(

7:56 am

good morning everyone! Angelsong, hello and no I am not

MOOOOOOOOOOOM

7:58 am

hent

7:58 am

{{{HERIN}}} hello, how did you like Gone With the Wind?

7:58 am

hise

7:58 am

Hi Nef, and thank you

7:58 am

I love those kinds of clues

Loved it Mom

8:00 am

I always liked it. Didn't see it for the first time until 1975, they were showing it at the movie theatre.

8:00 am

DANG! I'm not awake again! Off to the PB and some coffee!

They have done it up restored the images very pretty

8:03 am

I had heard they restored it. I have it on DVD but haven't watched it. I like it when it is on TV so I can go do things during the commercials

8:04 am

Good morning, Babble buddies!

Hi Scrabbler

8:05 am

Angel, I use OpenOffice.

It looked like it was made yesterday kind of new. I was one of the people that petitioned for The Shining to get a new cinema print

8:07 am

scrabbler, I am having difficulty numbering pages in a Writer document. do you know how to do that?

8:08 am

Nope, Angel.

8:08 am

Angelsong, what is OpenOffice Writer and why are you asking if anyone is using it? Is it something that can be used on Babble?

scrabs, how you seen the potos on fb of the bear captured in my town?

8:08 am

good morning Scrabbler! How have you been?

8:08 am

I mean, not readily.

8:08 am

{{TO}} good morning, nice to see you

hi mom

8:09 am

I haven't gone to FB yet. Will the bear be brought to a wooded area?

8:09 am

Ah, I just type way too slow this AM,

8:09 am

I am doing well, Mom. You too?

8:09 am

Ah the Shining, Stephen King, eh? Not my kind of movie

just on the way out, i have begun the day early but am still behind on chores

yes but they have been making their way down the delware in last two weeks.

8:10 am

chores??? I am always behind on my chores. :-)

8:10 am

nef, no, opne office is not for use on Babble. it is an open source software applicaiton similar to Microsoft Office

The last time I saw the Shinning the print was so bad that it snapped half way through the running

8:10 am

oh geez, Herin

or soit appears. they should cross over to visit nrk, the bridge is free ;D

8:11 am

I woke up early today to be ready for a call from a farmer that will be delivering a truckload of mulch. I expected the call at 8. Now, 70 min later I am still waiting. His wife said--he'll call when the cows are all milked.

time to go.

Mom: http://www.astor-theatre.com/ this is were I see films when i feel like a double

8:11 am

Angel, I am sure you have already searched around?

8:12 am

Herin, that is so neat

8:12 am

8:13 am

8:13 am

probably alot...

Scrabbler seems someone slept in

8:14 am

Hm, Mom, I am trying to estimate what I see when the girls are all out in the pasture.

Mom the big velvet curtains always remind me of the dress in Gone with the Wind

8:15 am

I love velvet curtains. Not practical for my non-plantation but love them just the same

8:16 am

Ah gee Nef, you quit cluing. :-(

blar stupid pc again

8:19 am

Mom, the coffee's starting to help. Both eyes are open at once now

8:19 am

lol Nef, darn

8:19 am

neos

8:20 am

BLAH! I shouldn't brag (at least it wasn't a WORD!)

8:20 am

Here I thought you were going to clue again. lol

I will have a free word

8:22 am

I suppose you've already seen the volcano is here?

8:22 am

no Nef, I didn't, thanks

8:24 am

Tea anyone?

8:24 am

thanks Scrabbler, but no thanks, I have had my cup earlier

8:25 am

ooohh, my favorite chore is in the grid ir 4/4

8:25 am

8:25 am

Hot black tea is here for anyone.

8:25 am

Hi Mac

8:25 am

"mom, come do mine!" was not found in the dictionary

8:25 am

Haha, Mom. I'm not even sure where my ir4 is in this house.

8:26 am

lol Nef!

8:26 am

I love doing the ir4ing

8:26 am

I probably need the tea AND coffee and everything else this AM, Scrabbs!

8:26 am

hi all, on break at work...hiding out in the back room!

8:26 am

{{{NB}}} hello

8:26 am

monster does it all

8:27 am

how goes it?

Awww NB

8:27 am

hi NB. (((NB)))

8:28 am

and the pig call is here

8:29 am

awww, thanks (((everyone))) :) a better day today Mom, 'cause I managed to sleep after dosing myself up last night. How are you?

8:29 am

and plural the Scrabblers beverage of choice that she is offering

8:29 am

still not home?

8:30 am

Doing good here, oldest son is come home today from the trip to Maine

8:30 am

I'm up but not awake here, NB

8:31 am

Hi NB. How are you doing today?

I am waiting for a shbow to start

8:31 am

almost home. he came to meet me before work this morning and we had a bit of a talk. I felt really horrible...he looks like he hasn't been sleeping well, either. We looked like two zombies.

8:31 am

you have no reason to feel horrible NB, none what so ever!

NB maybe that does say he cares about what he did

8:31 am

((Leo & NB))

8:32 am

hi, Scrabbs!

8:32 am

This is a learning experience for both of you.

8:33 am

I know he cares Herin...he was crying more than I was when he told me. I just want to know why he did it :/

err do you kind of know what I mean

8:33 am

Weakness, NB, and not thinking of the consequences of his decision.

8:33 am

Phantom = raisin

8:34 am

arsenic is mine

ne

Oops - sorry!

8:34 am

{{Pinny}} hello

8:34 am

Double that, Pinny!

8:34 am

thanks Scrabbler

Already got that babblet, Scrabs ;)

8:35 am

morning, Pinny; have some coffee

Hi Mom! Hi Scrabbs! Hi Nef! Hi NB! Did I miss anyone out?

8:35 am

morning, Pinny!

And thanks for the coffee - can you just hook it up to an IV line for me?

Hi Pinny

8:35 am

Pinny --Herin

Hi Herin! Didn't see you there :)

8:36 am

no, Pinny, it won't work for me either

Got a killer headache today and have been dying for a bit of peace and quiet and babble

I am waiting for my silly show to start

8:37 am

oh Pinny, I am so sorry.

What show?

Thanks Mom - having a stressful weekend and have had very little sleep both nights

8:37 am

BBS--going to FB

8:38 am

{{Pinny}} giving a little TLC

8:38 am

bye Scrabbler

8:38 am

see you, Scrabbs :)

8:38 am

I was hoping for halfway before I had to start my day .... no such luck and not 7's or 8's either. **saigh**

Thank you! Is good stress, if there is such a thing, but I don't do well without a decent 10 hours a night, and I've had less than half that

8:39 am

I think there is such a thing

8:39 am

Yikes, Pinny! Go to bed!

8:39 am

I've had the same problem recently Pinny, and sleeping pills literally worked wonders with me last night. I got three hours, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Pinny do you remember Afterlife?

8:39 am

I had better scoot, will be back at lunchtime. {{Hugs}} to all of you. I am glad I got to see all of you

Can't :( Got to go on a mercy mission later on to bring food to my friend who's now 1 week overdue with her first baby and HUUUUUUUUGE

I don't recally afterlife...

8:40 am

1 week!!! ow

Bye Mom

8:40 am

bye bye Pinny

8:40 am

{{NB}} take care of yourself

8:41 am

nice to see you, Mom :)

And NB - I'm not surprised you're having sleeping problems. My twopence worth is that alcahol has a very adverse effect on sleep because all the sugar revs you up in the night and wakes you back up, so I hope you're not seeking too much solace in the fancy vodkas x

8:41 am

bye {{Nef}} & {{Herin}}

By Mom.

8:41 am

Babies come when they are ready; but it's tough when they are overdue.

Pinny can she use her belly for a tray?

Haha - more like a shelf!

8:42 am

bye Mom. cul

She looks super cute, but she's so ready to pop and the baby's not going anywhere, so I said I'd come over later with meat and company!

8:42 am

Ohhh. Wish I'd known that earlier. Last night I did one pill with one shot and repeated until sleep fiiiinally happened.

Auntie Pinny knows all about the adverse effects of booze on sleeping patterns

8:45 am

well, it worked in the end. Mind you, I feel like the living dead today.

Poor love

8:46 am

NB, please don't do that! I hate when people mix booze and drugs (I've dealt with too many OD's from drug/booze combos through the years)

NB Don't make me smack you

8:47 am

Ohh, nothing that dramatic, Nef! It was an act of desperation. It was that or getting Frank to knock me out.

How does not waking up tomorrow because you are dead from mixing help?

Stern look

8:48 am

'morning

8:49 am

I'm so tired, Herin...it sounds like heaven.

Morning Welki

NB Meditation is a better option. Trust me. on this on

And writting

8:49 am

go for the knock out rather than the booze/drug combo, NB. As Pinny said, booze really isn't good for sleep.

8:50 am

didn't we have this conversation just a few hours ago? you suggested that you were going to mix ... everyone said NO NO ... you do it anyway :(

8:51 am

just that one night, Welki! I was desperate. Anyway, I'm going home this evening so no drink + no pills to show how well I'm managing.

8:51 am

Definitely, herin. I believe that hard physical exertion, meditation, relaxed breathing, and a hot bath work wonders on sleep

8:52 am

the only person you need to 'show' is yourself, nb ... if you take care of yourself, this all will pass with time and, though it hurts like hell now, you'll come out the other side not so worse for wear

8:53 am

okay, NB. Wear yourself out til you can't think then try some warm milk or herbal tea and meditation tonight

8:54 am

Right you are, Nef. I actually went for a run around three in the morning, so maybe that was what did it.

8:55 am

you see some weird stuff at that hour!

NB I learnt this the hard way. I had a mental break down at 20 and you don't need that. SEE go for a run in the morning and clear your head

8:55 am

good. (Although I'm now imagining a drunk, somnolent NB running in the streets! That's almost as scarey!)

8:57 am

it made it easier if anything, Nef ;) I ran a good eight miles or so.

8:57 am

I do know you're all right...I just don't have any motivation to be good to myself at the moment. All I wanna do is sleep.

Regardless NB I only run if I am being chased by something (and even in heels I can run better)

8:59 am

as FM said to me, "a lady never runs for a bus" ;)

8:59 am

NB, we're on your case because we care about you. Please remember that you are important to us, we love you just the way you are and we don't want anything bad happening to you. We don't even know you IRL, but you are special to us here.

9:00 am

what nef said

Not a lady will run for a bus when it comes to waiting another 30 min

9:00 am

Be kind to yourself and realize that you are SOMEONE special too

9:00 am

oh Nef, that's so sweet. Everyone here has been so helpful, and so patient! I know I must sound like a broken record...I'm just scared!

9:02 am

We've all been in situations that leave us shaken and scared, NB. But you have to believe in yourself too; and that you will come out of this stronger and a better person in the end.

9:03 am

You and Leo have to work through your problems together. Just remember that you are worth loving and being loved.

9:04 am

It's just that if I lose this, I'm not just loveless...I'm homeless as well!

9:05 am

And I'm so angry, because he knows what I've sacrificed for this! But thank you, Nef :) I'll try and hold onto that

9:08 am

{{{NB hugs}}}

9:09 am

hi, Smaller!! I haven't seen you here in ages :)

HUGS NB

9:10 am

thanks, Herin :) but I can't be homeless...there's no hair-dryer

or a Mirror

Well I couch surfed for 3 months that sucked

Hi Smaller

9:12 am

hi smaller.

9:14 am

good morning everyone;)

9:15 am

Morning crossy

9:15 am

morning, Crossy!

9:15 am

you're nearly in the grid today, NB

HI Crossie

9:16 am

oh, you're right! it's funny, I always look for my real name when people say that.

9:16 am

you have a real name?

9:17 am

sorry to shatter the illusion ;)

Dan have you new pics up?

9:18 am

while i shall remain mythical perfection;))

9:19 am

a few - haven't begun Week Six album

Cute

9:20 am

going to grandma's house today with all cousins, so should be many from that

9:20 am

lol, Crossy! six foot tall grecian god, eh? ;)

9:20 am

LOL, dan! I haven't even finished putting things in my kids baby books; and they are 31 and 27 now! :-O

9:21 am

but of course,well im 6 ft,but not grecian and definatly no god;/

9:21 am

lets just say dan would use a lot of creative lighting for ole crossy

9:22 am

now you've shattered my illusion. *sigh*

9:22 am

you're closer than a 5'4" korean nancy boy ;)

My parents got to 3 year and kind of gave up with me running off all the time

9:23 am

Nef - yes its easier if you don't bother with the printing part :-)

Nothing bets film

9:24 am

and as many of my friends will attest, 2nd and 3rd children get photographed a lot less than firstborns

9:25 am

we got to about14 with our kids and photos,now its whatever comes from the school plus 3 or 3 others in a year

I never stood still long enough

9:26 am

I remember seeing my parents phot albums of us. My older sister had pages and pages or her, there is less than a page of me, 1 picture of my younger sister at about a year, my one brother has a picture of him at baptism, and the other one at 2 years old. I vowed never to do that, so took millions of pictures; put them in the old albums (with the acid paper that faded colors) and took those apart to redo in the right albums. THAT is where I am now

9:26 am

when i go digital,that may change

9:27 am

cause i tell you,that new i-phone 4 is calling to crossy....

9:27 am

digital is nice, but hard to keep up with *I* think.

9:27 am

we have really enjoyed the Canon digital SLR we got for baby2bit - really power camera, but set up for easy automatic everything

9:27 am

how about home video? I used to hate seeing films of myself - I'd see this little four year old babbling away in a language I can't even speak anymore!

9:28 am

i have heard good things about the cannon digital lineup

video nope

9:30 am

NB, maybe *this* is the time to relearn Korean? It's a good time to do something that takes a lot of thinking and brain work

9:30 am

lol nb,all our home video was done on 8mm film ,so it is an experience in its own right

9:30 am

jumpy,no sound and ten minute spools all spliced together

9:31 am

if you can find a projector that is

9:31 am

are you going to convert it to something more modern, crossy?

9:31 am

alas most of it is too far gone now nefg

9:32 am

:-( oh, no!

9:32 am

yes,bad storeage

9:32 am

storage

9:33 am

time and tide..sigh..most of the surviving picture are pre 1970

O I have a stack of 8 -16 mil and a projector

9:35 am

but i still have a pile of 16 track reel-to reel audio lol

damn expensive to put on DVD

9:37 am

we never had that. I've seen some wonderful "life reviews" from 8mm on computers at funeral luncheons in the past several years where they have photos and video. I'd love to know how that's done; because it's such a lovely rememberance for the families and friends

I have footage of my parents leaving England

9:37 am

brb

9:38 am

methinks this grid has teeth;((

Night all

9:41 am

well, I'd better be back to work. And then back home to face the music :/ wish me luck, everyone!

9:42 am

10:09 am

YAY, sixty! WTG!!!

10:10 am

my DH loves coffee, but had to switch to decaf due to acid reflux.

10:10 am

I only drink it to kick-start my day. Keeps me awake after noon too.

10:10 am

wtg Nef!!! I am hovering at 45

10:11 am

I've never had trouble sleeping; I could drink coffee and still go right to sleep immediately afterwards

10:11 am

*wonders Why do I play this game?*

10:11 am

10:12 am

10:12 am

10:15 am

wtg hoot - I gave up on the stats ages ago.

10:15 am

darn it ruru, you have let me down again ;)

10:16 am

I'm finding lots of homophones today; but not the more common spellings. Are others finding this, or should I just go back to bed?

10:16 am

the bruises were too hard to cover for my job.. and it will affect my cabana boy applications

10:16 am

I found it a good and fairly quick grid today Nef

10:17 am

oh I don't care about beating people. Just hate to miss a game unless I'm on vacation.

10:17 am

For you ruru I will make exceptions if you want a job in the PB and I can send you on the pilots course so you can fly the babble jet if you want?

10:18 am

only if you are going to be a stewardess

10:18 am

Stats take the fun out of the game

10:18 am

* more nuts ? *

10:19 am

LOL!

10:20 am

Phone brb

10:24 am

I don't like the way the letters are in this grid! Maybe I should say I don't like this grid!

10:27 am

It's not that hard! Babblets, phonetics and quick monkeys

10:28 am

hoot, I now it isn't *that* hard. I just keep trying the same words time after time because my phantoms are annoying me

10:28 am

How many words today?

10:29 am

Thanks.

10:29 am

yw

10:30 am

is anyone else exhausted?

10:32 am

I've been since I got up this AM, Magy. It's probably why I'm having trouble here

10:32 am

I've been having the most horrible dreams this week..can't sleep.

10:33 am

good morning. And yes...I feel like I've been hit by a truck...

10:34 am

I dreamed I was playing for England in yesterday's game.

10:34 am

I'm tired but for once in a good way. Didn't wake up until 6.30 this morning.

10:34 am

We (England) won, of course. That's why thwy asked me to play.

10:34 am

Oh so can we blame you then Christine?

10:34 am

now that's a good dream Christine!

10:35 am

that explains it!

10:35 am

Sad about that goal. Poor goali is gonna have a bad time - probably that's what most people will remember about hime.

10:36 am

It's not my fault I wasn't playing.

10:36 am

The headlines in the papers today have not been forgiving shall we say.

10:37 am

are they ever?

10:37 am

Dang! Just made half way and I see I still don't have NBT! How did that happen?

10:37 am

Poor boy - really could happen any time, but this was in front of the world.

10:38 am

10:38 am

got it! :-)

10:39 am

The Dalles ? Like oregon?

11:08 am

yup

11:08 am

well, not everyone... but yes, i do, thus why the cooking must be done so the ac can cool it all down again

11:08 am

I used to live in Sisters

11:08 am

not great vents in the dining room

11:08 am

so don't tell me about how terrible it is while you sit in your a/c

11:08 am

;-)

11:08 am

bet you are a great baker kje

11:09 am

actually, yes I am - LOL

11:09 am

*waiting for cake*

11:09 am

if i ever decide to quit geri.. I will open a bakery

11:09 am

you should try my daughter's recipe. She created the most amazing angelfood cake... it's rose flavored with lime whipping cream...

11:09 am

nah, I usually only throw pies, ru

11:10 am

phew! recipe was yesterday!! no PB

11:10 am

i bet it is good, but i am not so much a fan of the rose water flavored things

11:10 am

hmmm that sounds good.

11:10 am

<<<doesn't like tiramisu

11:10 am

but the lime whipping cream soundsamazing - i love citrus desserts

11:11 am

<<<doesn't like brussel sprouts

11:11 am

it's not strong.. not like turkish delight

11:11 am

who does?

11:11 am

I do.

11:11 am

mmm... brussel sprouts!!

11:11 am

just thought we were sharing, ru

11:11 am

brussel sprouts, I mean

11:12 am

post the recipe in your profile, m9

11:12 am

oh..

11:12 am

how about rose water flavored brussel sprouts?

11:12 am

cuz we weren't exactly talking about tiramisu either - LOL

11:12 am

I'll ask her for it.

11:12 am

not Turkish delight - gave up desserts a year ago ... think I lost much weight.

11:13 am

good for you Christine! How much?

11:13 am

my daughter just got engaged.. So I've got new incentive...

11:14 am

I really must run... hagd all

11:14 am

bye kje.. happy bd to dad

11:14 am

m9 has to join up first! ;-) She's already hooked, I'm hoping that she joins before she finds out what happens at 2 weeks of playing!

11:15 am

huh??

11:16 am

morning all

11:17 am

No-no - no loss. I guess I forgot to put the question mark at the end of my entry. I gave up sugar, desserts, candy still no loss. Perhaps that rubbish about exercise has some validity.

11:17 am

m9, after 2 weeks things change. To join, there is a 1 time fee of around $15 (I think); then you can play forever. I joined back wehn it was $12 and it's the best investment I ever made online

11:17 am

Hi Pini

11:19 am

don't do tiramisu, the angelfood cake sounds yummy, love brussel sprouts, congrats on dau' engagement, sorry no weight loss (love sweets), how's Little D (ru), m9 shall be assimillated, we all know resistance is futile!

11:19 am

LOL, Pini! You got it ALL! :-D

11:20 am

trying to be "bright" this morning..

11:20 am

well I wasn't sure.. but if you're going to make Trek references of COURSE I'll join!

11:20 am

hi fellow babblers!

11:20 am

and gm Pini!

11:20 am

hi beach, nef, m9, etc

11:21 am

hi beach

11:21 am

Hi beach... like your name!

11:21 am

but of course, m9...I suppose we could refer to the trolls as tribbles, too! LOL

11:21 am

Trek? I thought that was Dr. No (or is it both?)

11:21 am

afternoon everyone

11:21 am

hi katie

11:22 am

hi Katie

11:22 am

Trek first, nef ;)

11:22 am

the borg

11:22 am

comes from the Borg (I am one)

11:23 am

uh-oh. Funny, you don't LOOK like one!

11:23 am

I gave birth to the biggest trekkie....

11:23 am

hey.. some of those borg are sexy!

11:23 am

yeah, I still have both eyes!

11:23 am

and not only that.. he was born in Bozeman, MT!! and if anyone gets THAT connection....

11:23 am

how big is he, m9?

11:23 am

or maybe I should say my wires don't show :)

11:24 am

LOL. I knew someone would say that

11:24 am

have you finished again M9?

11:24 am

he's actually pretty small and wiry... he's 19

11:24 am

no Katie.. 48 left.

11:24 am

ah

11:25 am

can't believe how good you are at this so quickly lol

11:26 am

Katie... I cheat! LOL

11:26 am

how does one "cheat" at this game?

11:26 am

back for a few more:))

11:26 am

(* taking notes *)

11:26 am

hi crossy

11:27 am

I use a word finder..

11:27 am

and the lickety things

11:27 am

that list..

11:27 am

which one, m9? A lot of people use Morewords.com here

11:27 am

there are word generators pini,you just imput every letter on todays grid and it will make every possible word with them then you just c=p to bulk ad

11:27 am

but that would take away the whole point of the game;)

11:28 am

rally crossy? I've been playing for 5 years and didn't know that

11:28 am

yup

11:28 am

I don't do THAT...

11:28 am

hi everyone ....

11:28 am

I don't like morewords though...

11:29 am

howdy mom

11:29 am

i've just started to use lickety's expert but nothing else

11:29 am

gads, I didn't know that either! wow...

11:29 am

I don't like the way words are displayed there.

11:29 am

hi again Mom

11:29 am

me, too, katie

11:29 am

{{Crossy}} good to see you. How is Elegant? I do hope she is feeling better

11:29 am

11:29 am

Hi Pini

11:29 am

11:30 am

11:30 am

11:30 am

hagd une ;)

11:31 am

hello and goodbye Une

11:31 am

a2z is on lickety's page and also Angelsongs Babble Page

11:31 am

gosh has Elegant not been feeling well?

11:31 am

Crossy, I am glad she is feeling better

11:31 am

I like word find

11:31 am

displays in a nice long column

11:31 am

still hard though!

11:34 am

Hi M9, glad you are still with us.

11:35 am

Hi Mom, how you doing?

11:35 am

Hi Katie, I am just fine, thanks. And you?

11:35 am

gosh! I just looked at the time. I should get moving sometime today

11:35 am

much better than Friday/Saturday but still 'off' Mom

11:36 am

oh Katie, what happened?

11:36 am

go fix you some lunch, Nef and come back

11:37 am

I got a groin strain getting up from the sofa lol. on tablets now but they are quite strong hence the 'off' feeling

11:37 am

wow big thunder and lightening going on here

11:37 am

oh dear Katie, I hope you are better soon. That must be painful

11:37 am

good idea, Mom. All I've had today is coffee and a banana so far and that's not the best way to start the day. ;-/

11:38 am

I love thunderstorms

11:38 am

bbl

11:38 am

**fixed Nef a ham sandwich**

11:38 am

I'm not sure I wasn't just being a wimp but on Friday night I had to crawl through the lounge and up the stairs and was covered in sweat when I got to bed so did feel that it wasn't just in my mind lol

11:38 am

m9, you sound like my sweetie, he loves to watch them

11:38 am

bye bye Nef

11:39 am

I just had a ham sandwich

11:39 am

no, I don't think that was all in your mind at all

Where're the storms Katie?

11:39 am

I had to go deal with a little "thing"... my boys are late bloomers. The 4yo pooped his pants...

11:40 am

how many children do you have M9?

11:40 am

but he didnt' wear a diaper all day yesterday! ;-)

11:40 am

that is excellent m9

11:40 am

Tamworth in staffordshire pinny, hammering down with rain as well

Ooh - Is it coming my way (NW London)?

11:41 am

4. 22 yo girl (I can hear her skyping away with her fiance), 19 yo b, 14 yo g (still asleep... must put a/c box in her room somehow), and 4 yo b

11:42 am

no idea but it is really pouring off all the roofs, the gutterings aren't coping. Glad I'm not driving in this

11:42 am

ah 2 of each. I am sure the 4 year old gets doted on by his brother and sisters

11:42 am

yeah mom.. our kids got engaged about the same time! When are they thinking of having the wedding?

11:43 am

next June possibly

11:43 am

He's quite the little character.

11:43 am

best wishes to your daughter

11:43 am

Mine are thinking next March

11:43 am

I hope my shallow tear ducts get deeper by the time they get married

11:44 am

that should be a lovely to get married

11:44 am

I can't believe they're still skyping .. oh it's Sunday, he must have late church too. oh of course.. he's at college. They always start the college kids meetings later.LOL

11:44 am

good waterproof mascara is the answer Mom. I sobbed in during my vows and mine held out, good job too it cost a fortune!

11:45 am

I can't wear mascara

11:45 am

yup... she's thinking daffodils (his fave color is orange.. she found the barrett browning.. white with small dark orange cup)

11:45 am

but my eyes swell something terrible when I cry

11:45 am

sounds lovely m9

11:45 am

is your daughter in college as well?

11:46 am

Bach rescue remedy to calm you down is the next option

11:46 am

uh oh Mom... meditation! deep breathing... um... carry a cartoon in your hand..

11:46 am

Hey everybody. Just back from the animal shelter with our new puppy - Buster. A cross between a cocker spaniel and a collie. An absolute little gem of a dog. :)

11:46 am

no. lives at home. works at JC Penney's. Gardens, cooks and writes.

11:46 am

{{Soodle}} how wonderful. How old is he?

11:46 am

ohhhhhh pictures soodle, pictures

11:46 am

oh Soodle.. congrats!!!!

11:46 am

Pictures!!

11:46 am

hello all, back for a few - good for you for getting a dog from a shelter; I wish more people would do that. He sounds adorable!

11:47 am

Hi Christine

11:47 am

{{NB}} hi again

11:47 am

We got our little guy at the shelter as a puppy too! a "springboard" half springer half border

11:47 am

Hi Christine, Soodle and NB

11:47 am

Hi, I think there's really only 57 words in this grid.

11:48 am

LOL Christine.. but I have 85

11:48 am

65 Christine

11:48 am

lmao M9 great name

11:48 am

He's only 9 weeks old - but the friendliest little thing ever. How are you today, Nancy?

11:48 am

I am so happy for you Soodle

I agree Christine! I know there's 73 words for sure, but none of them are 7 letter words!

11:48 am

or 8 letters either Pinny

11:48 am

7 left here

11:48 am

And TWO 8s? I think not.

11:49 am

I have all the 7s and 8s easier to find on word lists and then give me a reference!

11:49 am

jmb, hello ... what a show off

11:49 am

tired, Soodle :) but going home today (this is why I'm in the back room on my phone after my shift has ended. scared!)

I know there's one 8-letter word!

11:49 am

been at it for a while & i listed at halfway

11:49 am

Hang in there, NB. {{{}}}}}

11:49 am

no need to be scared NB, you have done nothing wrong

11:49 am

NB, who's scaring you?

11:50 am

scared?

11:50 am

that's right NB.. try to go with the flow and don't push things quickly.

11:50 am

perhaps nervous is a better word?

11:50 am

Leo should be the one who is scared, thinking of what you might do to him once he goes to sleep

11:50 am

what happened NB?

11:50 am

Isn't Leo your boyfriend? Why's he scaring you?

11:50 am

yes, M9...nervous :) And Mom, seriously, I thought nothing could make me laugh today, but that did.

11:51 am

:-)

11:51 am

there mom... get babble as an app on your ipod or whatever..and we'll laugh you through the wedding!

11:51 am

LOL Mom! You said it. Us Babblers should get together and gang up on Leo - That should scare teh bejaysus out of him......

11:51 am

Have you told him how many Babble family members live in UK> They'll get him, if he scares you, baby.

11:52 am

seriously London is only 1 1/2 hours by train and as soon I can walk he is in big trouble if he is scaring yuou!!

11:52 am

Leo isn't scaring him. Leo was crying first...

11:53 am

**express mailing super glue to NB**

11:53 am

M9, you're making it sound like I scared him...'scared' wasn't the right word. Anxious. I'm anxious.

11:53 am

NB is just nervous about facing it all... right NB??

11:54 am

joking apart what has happened NB, you and Leo are usually so good together, anxious and crying doesn't spring to mind when i think about the two of you

11:54 am

oh no!! I know you didn't scare him either. It's just emotional.

11:54 am

true facts, M9. Also, there is no way at all that this evening won't be hideously awkward.

11:55 am

NB... I've been through it. You will get through it. And it CAN work out.

11:55 am

but all the same, I'm gonna hide out here a little while longer ;) thanks though. all support very appreciated!!

11:56 am

Although it takes cahonas to be honest with oneself. My honey was.. and he has not had one drop of alcohol in almost 20 years.

11:56 am

relationships only last when you work at them NB. They are often much stronger for having made it thru a tough patch

11:56 am

Hi Bug

11:56 am

well said bug

11:56 am

Did I miss the start if this thread? I don't know what's wrong.

11:56 am

me either Christine

11:57 am

NB - he is not getting physical with you, is he?

11:57 am

Do you want someone else to clue them in NB?

11:57 am

Hi Mom and everyone else. I am not supposed to be here so I had planned to stay quiet but NB and Leo do sound like a good couple, just need some motherly advice sometimes.

11:57 am

I was thinking the same thing m9

11:57 am

Are you at work bug?? we won't tell on you!

11:58 am

ohhh, sorry, Katie and Christine. He cheated on me with a guy from his work.

11:58 am

My Mum used tos say 'if you're someone's Mum, you're everyone's Mum' so I can be there in about 14 hours (I think).

11:58 am

Oh, the bugger. I'll get him, as soon as I get there.

11:58 am

uh oh. I didn't know it was someone from his work.

11:58 am

Oh NB I'm so sorry :-(

11:58 am

NB - forgiveness maybe needed

11:58 am

No I am supposed to be doing the washing and gardening today but I wanted to get NBT before starting my day. Didn't know I would be so slow

11:58 am

Ooops, shouldn't say words like that.

11:58 am

I know it will be hard to trust him again

11:59 am

oh no Science, he's a gentle soul. Once he accidentally flailed out and slapped me in his sleep and apologized for about a month afterward...nothing to worry about there!

11:59 am

okay, that's good.

11:59 am

That is a tough one to overcome NB. I am so sorry that you have been so hurt. Still, it can be done if he really wants to be with you

12:00 pm

You will take time to decide if you can trust him again but I no couples who have come through it and others who haven't, just remember that you have to do what is best for you in your heart

12:00 pm

ah... maybe he's so gentle it's hard to say "no". The other guy probably put the moves on.

12:01 pm

I think he needs to take responsiblity for his actions and then you can try to move on, his tear certainly sound llike he knows he has let you down

12:01 pm

*tears

12:01 pm

I'm so sorry NB. Been there with my former husband, and it was so difficult afterward. But, if the relationship is worth keeping (apparently mine wasn't), I guess you sit down to talk it out, and hope it's (and he) are keepers.

12:01 pm

NB... one thing when you do go to talk to him.. it's ok for there to be silence. If you ask him something and he doesn't talk right away... don't talk to fill the space. Wait.

12:01 pm

I don't think anyone can guess what happened. I think it's important that NB is supported here

12:02 pm

thank you, all :) I keep wondering, M9. I'm trying not to think about it too much. Is it really weird if I want to know blow-by-blow what happened? Hate to lower the tone but...no pun intended.

12:02 pm

I second the Nef ]

12:02 pm

finished lunch already Nef?

12:02 pm

No, NB, you do not want to know the details!

12:02 pm

well.. at least you have your humor!

12:02 pm

I mean, I second what Nef said. It ismost important that you know we care.

12:03 pm

Yep, I have a friend who's relationship improved substantially after her bf cheated as it gave them both the chance to start afresh and set ground rules, they have now been together 12 years and married 6. She never thought she would forgive until she was in the situation. Just remember that no matter what people advise/say only you will know what is right

12:04 pm

nope, Mom. I opened the frig and can't see the right left overs for lunch; wandered around as saw that Yes, there's lots of stuff that needs doing here but it isn't getting done yet. So I came back here

12:04 pm

and no details. But he needs to know what made him cross that line, and what he needs to do to never cross it again. If he can't figure that out....

12:04 pm

good for you Nef

12:04 pm

lol Nef

12:04 pm

here here m9! agreed

12:05 pm

That's what happened with us Katie.. He wasn't even a big drinker (because he was with me) but a time came up where there were no limits on the booze.. and then....

12:05 pm

good advice m9

12:05 pm

I need to limp out for a fag but it is still tipping it down, sigh wish we smoked inside

12:05 pm

and like I said.. he's been dry since. He will never cross that line again.

12:05 pm

do you have a covered porch Katie?

12:06 pm

that's great M9

12:06 pm

wonderful m9

12:06 pm

but that would never have worked if I had told him that's what he needed to do. HE made that decision

12:06 pm

only at the front and I am in my dressing gown as I am not long up so have to go out the back not the front

12:06 pm

it has to be their decision.....it works better!

12:06 pm

interesting, M9. I get the impression this was also alcohol-fuelled. Thing is, can I trust him knowing this guy is literally just a few desks over every day?

12:07 pm

wow.. I hardly ever bring that up. feels wierd

12:07 pm

35 left and I am soooo stuck

12:07 pm

you need to say to him that is what you are worried about

12:07 pm

yeah.. that's why I said uh oh.

12:08 pm

3 left... monkies have helped

12:08 pm

Finally made it halfway .... still no 7's or 8's. Be back later. {{Hugs}} to all of you.

12:08 pm

48... and not even looking

12:08 pm

Nef, I have a vacuum cleaner that's touted to clean floors (carpet and linoleum), walls and curtains, well it's sat there for almost a week, and done absolutely nothing. Do I gotta get up and make threatening noises?

12:08 pm

me either

12:08 pm

See you later Mom

12:08 pm

so 8,45

12:08 pm

lol Christine

12:08 pm

{{Katie}} take care of yourself.

12:08 pm

this place has a wonderful way of pulling your secrets and stories out of you M9...in a very comfortable way. When I found out, the first place I came was here...it's the best place to get unlimited support by people who really care!

12:08 pm

jmb... musical..

12:09 pm

Actually, I'm on my bed, most of the day, so I really don't know how dusty it is.

12:09 pm

and we can also tell you things you may not want to hear, but again that is good for the soul as well

12:09 pm

LOL, Christine! Sounds like it's time (Have you plugged it in? I *think* that that helps....

12:09 pm

Home - is that the flat with Leo, or your parent's place?

12:15 pm

12:15 pm

yes! you found the word?? or yes! NB should think before speaking??LOL

12:15 pm

NB, the anxiety isn't going to help. Maybe you can jog it off?

12:15 pm

yes, for the NB advice!

12:15 pm

ah. ro and it's a *** to tell a lie!

12:16 pm

NB go back see him and talk things through, don't be scared to say how you feel and what you are worried about, be strong and remember we will be here for you when you need us.

12:16 pm

Hello, all...

12:16 pm

what Katie said.

12:16 pm

Remember M9f91's advice: let him speak, don't fill in gaps in the conversation, and take deep breaths.\

12:16 pm

it was the last time he and a few of his colleagues had to go up to Leeds, Joanne...a few weeks ago. And he told me three nights ago.

12:18 pm

and hi ruby and TeaN

12:18 pm

so, NB, were you suspicious, or was guilt eating him up?

12:18 pm

be careful, Katie! And thank you very much :)

12:18 pm

sa6,21 anyone?

12:19 pm

nb then he is regretful..otherwise he would not have told u

12:19 pm

wow... mine was a business trip too!

12:19 pm

dont have

12:19 pm

Well, his co-worker is also at fault - he knows Leo's in a relationship, and off limits.

12:19 pm

although mine told me the very next day..

12:19 pm

true, Christine

12:20 pm

guilt eating him up, Science..I was completely oblivious. I've been into his office since that trip! And that colleague smiled and said hi to me and was chatting away like nothing had happened...@!*$%!

12:20 pm

wow, I'm catching the end of this, poor NB!

12:20 pm

My ex didn't tell me. I found out the hard way, and it was hard

12:20 pm

WTF, NB!!!!! That's is disgusting! What an a$$

12:20 pm

Oh, that poor Goalie (England's) he's benched and won't play in the enxt game.

12:20 pm

I think him telling you was good. And that the alcolol fueled was correct. Now what's he going to do about that.

12:20 pm

og nb..that hurts

12:21 pm

he was cleated n the chest yesterday, Chistine

12:21 pm

NB, kick the guy's chair from under him.

12:21 pm

how deep is their team? Do they have another goalkeeper,; I thought that Green looked like a bum/crybaby!

12:21 pm

*Christine*

12:21 pm

if u go back there,give them a sideways look...they'll no

12:21 pm

Science geek - no, its Green the England goalie who fumbled the ball.

12:22 pm

ok

12:22 pm

Oh rubyfoo, I'd cry if I lost the win for my team.

12:22 pm

i have a look that can make anyone feel like they did something wrong lol

12:22 pm

You're going to have to go sometime NB. Just take a deep breath and go get it over with.

12:22 pm

That American goalie is fantastic.

12:22 pm

good luck nb,and let him say his piece all the way through before you start and talk in normal tones only

12:22 pm

the American goalie is the one who got cleated in the chest. Aftere he got back up, the French commentators, who seem to hate the English even more than they hate Americans, kept calling him the orange giant, admiringly

12:23 pm

My enthusiasm for World Cup is only topped by that for the Tour de France. And DH cares for neither!

12:23 pm

NB - let us know how you are, we care about each other (and all the Mums here have adopted you). God bless.

12:24 pm

lol Crossy...I don't have normal tones anymore. It's either head-cold-sounding crying voice or unbelievably shrill shock ;)

12:24 pm

yes, other Nancy, God bless!

12:24 pm

Crossy is right NB, control your tone....

12:24 pm

you too will be ok nb....control comes from deeeeeppp down

12:24 pm

one day ill have to watch one these soccor games and see what the fuss is about..looks like it may catch on lol...hehe

12:24 pm

NB, you NEED to use your normal voice. It will help keep the anxiety down

12:25 pm

hahah, crossy

12:25 pm

no no nb,must keep an even keel

12:25 pm

deep breaths

12:25 pm

my dh was plaing college soccer when we met. still has great legs,

12:25 pm

right. you're right though M9. I'm getting a drink first though. Since I'm already here and all. And Crossy...I loved playing soccer but watching it is literally the most boring thing you can do. And I say that as a long-time admirer of cute guys wearing little shorts...

12:25 pm

clues for the middle n?

12:26 pm

no NB. No alcohol

12:26 pm

lol nb - don't drink too much!

12:26 pm

i'm a virgo and i either vent or choose not to talk and think about what i want to say..may take weeks but sometimes that's best

12:26 pm

nope,have a tea nb,stay far away from booze today

12:26 pm

that's what started this whole mess!!

12:26 pm

alcohol will loosen your tongue too much

12:26 pm

you need your head about you tonight

12:26 pm

right. thanks (((all))). onward and upward. I'll report back when there's good news; if there's no good news, keep yer eyes on the obituaries. bye, everyone :)

12:26 pm

12:27 pm

12:28 pm

I'm going to disagree on this point - ONE drink - and I'd be better able to control my temper in said situation - be careful NB

12:28 pm

1:11 pm

her neighbor

1:11 pm

oops. her neighbors seem to have her back, too.

1:12 pm

But she's just more used to this kind of stuff in her life than most normal people. I'm kind of teaching her what normal is... kwim??

1:13 pm

some of my clients have "no contact" and restraining orders for their ex;es. It really helps if they do and if they call every time something happens

1:13 pm

1:48 pm

Hi FM

1:48 pm

done with the o's

1:48 pm

I should spend some time in the garden before it tries to rain soon.

1:49 pm

I pootled about for a couple of hours and it was sooooo good for the soul.

1:49 pm

it rained and rained yesterday, rather cool and wet today. I *should* go pick my strwberries, but I don't want to be damp and cold

1:49 pm

pootled? I love it!

1:50 pm

:-D my soul needs the garden. Having a rough day, psychically speaking. panic attacks since I woke up. But otherwise not unwell.

1:50 pm

*grin* it is a great word MizH

1:50 pm

summer finally hit the NW yesterday (and allergies again)

1:51 pm

floofle is one of my words, but I am definitely going to add pootle

1:51 pm

at least your strawberries are ripe, FM! Mine are a couple weeks behind.

1:51 pm

got the no's

1:51 pm

Go and find some peace in the garden stiddy dear - you will come back in much refreshed.

1:51 pm

or kafloofle

1:51 pm

among other many made up words that real words can't accurately describe what I need to say

1:52 pm

I agree, FM. Panic can't strike in gardens

1:52 pm

pootle is a cross between meandering and actually doing stuff (well in my dictionary it is)!

1:52 pm

I will, in a bit. want to finish the grid.

hello again

1:52 pm

My garden will be there in a little bit still... I can't work more than half an hour at a time anyway.

1:54 pm

Hi, Dorens

oh, ok, I just posted video of Tea andCrackers in their dance recital

1:54 pm

hi Dorens

1:54 pm

neither can I stiddy but it is just such a pleasure to to look at things growing and do the odd bit here and there. One forgets whatever was on the mind when you do a bit of weeding or just watch the clouds.

1:54 pm

got the ne's

1:54 pm

just as I sat down, the skies opened and it is pouring. (and probably thunder and lightning not far away...it is quite dark)

1:55 pm

hello doren

1:55 pm

Dorens!!! Hello

1:55 pm

yes, isn't it amazing how weeding can make you forget things? quite therapeutic

1:55 pm

:-D I have LOTS of weeding to do FM!

1:55 pm

Hello Everyone

4:21 pm

I am playing on an unfamiliar laptop sto bear with me

4:21 pm

HI mom

4:23 pm

I am at Dartmouth Medical Center with my son in the pediatric adolescent ICU

4:23 pm

oh mom is your son ok

4:25 pm

Is doing much better but we still dont have much for answers yet. He collapsed yesterday - heart rate went over 300 for about 40 minutes. Being a weekend, they dont run any tests. He is stable and feeling fine - wants to go home but needs a constant cardiac monitor until they find out what is wrong

4:26 pm

OH my he will be in my prayers

4:27 pm

thanks boo - very scary yesterday. Lucky I can stay with him in his room.

4:28 pm

I can imagine what you must be going through.

4:36 pm

clue for no 6/21

4:36 pm

hi mom, tuned in just in time to wish you the very best for your son - i hope it's something that can be taken care of easily....

4:37 pm

as did I, JBV - oh Mom, my fingers and toes are crossed for you. that must have been terrifying!

4:37 pm

thanks jbv - me too - something funky with the electricals in his heart - will be scheduling him for a cath dont know when though - got to wait for his cardiologist that wont be in until tomorrow

4:38 pm

Hi NB - thanks - how are you doing?

4:38 pm

wouldn't it be nice to one whole day of NO BAD NEWS for anyone? my wish for us all

4:38 pm

my cousin had something like that happen to him and he had to have surgery

4:39 pm

*to have one whole day

4:39 pm

my son had open heart surgery when he was 7 weeks old - has been fine since - as is actually quite an athlete - never a twitch until yesterday when he collapsed - wasnt even doing anything at the time

4:40 pm

I'm with JBV - sure would be nice

4:41 pm

well we will be thinking of both of you and hope and pray that things are fixed

4:41 pm

isn't it strange, the diversity of this place? Everything seems to make place for everything else. One player announces an engagement whilst another gets cheated on; some players are celebrating new babies whilst others are nursing sick relatives...it's such a society

4:41 pm

typing with one hand while holding his ice cream cup

4:42 pm

we are very lucky to have each other

4:42 pm

t

4:42 pm

"talking" things out here does help - I know from experience

4:43 pm

you can say that again, Mom. and definitely, JBV! I feel guilty for how much I have been venting here recently - I have been using up more than my share of chog time..

4:43 pm

Mom, I spent many days and weeks in a hospital with my husband over the years, so I know how difficult it is - hang in there and don't forget to take care of yourself, too - have some ice cream!

4:44 pm

ice cream cures all

4:44 pm

don't worry about venting, NB, those who can help, will, others may ignore you, but that's OK

4:45 pm

I try to balance it out by adding some good news whenever I can -

4:46 pm

I don't mind being ignored, I just feel like babble's problem child at the moment ;) it's just, weird as it sounds, this place has become my family. I can say anything here.

4:46 pm

so have I - vent and cry that is - I have spent time in the hospital with my husband too over the years - but my boy is 13 - he shouldnt be here

4:46 pm

free group therapy - what could be better?

4:47 pm

and better than we will get elsewhere

4:47 pm

no he shouldn't mom. I

4:47 pm

crossys back;))

4:47 pm

Hi crossy

4:48 pm

I am going to go now and get myself some supper in the caf - may check in later if son doesnt want computer

4:58 pm

lol judi,you have your comics mixed

4:58 pm

Judi...I wanna live in your world

4:58 pm

I know. I'm not helping. That must have been really scarey. And to think they wouldn't do any tests on him because it was the weekend???? That's nuts.

4:59 pm

Spiderman. Geesh.

5:00 pm

mm

5:00 pm

hmm...a little drained, Soodle :) I bit the bullet and returned to our apartment, and there has been some intense talk. No outcomes yet. How are you?

5:01 pm

40 minutes rather.

5:01 pm

hospitals (here, anyway) are so stupidly understaffed at weekends...don't get sick on a weekend.

5:01 pm

Babble Rabble should be here to do a diagnostic!

5:01 pm

cause we have 2 teens that i can think of in this town who have needed a pacemaker,they should not be so quick to fluff it off

5:01 pm

nancy, I have not been on the chog much of late, but want you to know that I have been praying for you and leo, my dear one. I hope things work out for the best.

5:02 pm

whatever the best may turn out to be

5:03 pm

wow, I'm surprised you heard, Trif! thank you

5:03 pm

oh, nancy!!! the chog is a very small universe, pet!

5:03 pm

and keep it in that level discussion tone nb:) more will be acomplished

5:04 pm

Nancy Boy! The Babble TomTom drums have been beating all weekend. Everybody knows, everybody cares, and everybody is on your side, my friend!

5:06 pm

Soodle's keyboard is stuttering.

5:06 pm

Nancy Boy..I know we've never talked but I do know how you feel. It completely destroys you...and I'm so sorry you have to experience this.

5:06 pm

I am on a laptop, Crossy, and I just cant cope with the teench keyboard

Yay, nan!!!

Fireworks here, too!

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

as far as I know, soodle, which isn't much, he did fine, but I did notice he curtailed his visit with his twin a great amount. Seems they are not so friendly these days. Twin and his wife are in Camp ElizaBeth, and mr. nasty doesn't appreciate that, for some reason.....

5:07 pm

WTG, NAN!!!!!

5:07 pm

yaa for nan!!

5:07 pm

clue for sa 6/21

5:07 pm

oh my god Judi, that's so true. someone's gonna be murdered next. someone's gonna get amnesia!!

5:07 pm

perfectly understandable, soodle -- they frustrate me no end as well

5:07 pm

sa 6: latin form of holy -- ends with a vowel

5:08 pm

oh Magyk, what a sweet, sweet thing to say. you have summed up the attitude here on babble perfectly. thank you very much :)

5:08 pm

Well, let's just hope no one slips into a coma for an entire season. That's so done-to-death.

5:09 pm

I tried out one of those Ipad things yesterday, and the keyboard was a deal breaker (well, that and my ongoing poverty). I would not want to use one at all.

5:09 pm

Ahem...Fireworks here, too!!!

5:09 pm

Judi, I am, however, looking forward to the arrival of Nancy's evil twin. THAT I would buy tickets to see

5:09 pm

YAY, Jellen!!!!

5:09 pm

huzzah for jellen!

5:09 pm

yaa for jellen!!

5:10 pm

trif,it is the new i-phone that im considering

5:10 pm

Thanks! I needed that...

5:10 pm

lol, crossy, tristan now calls his iphone the "Ipad nano"

5:10 pm

lol

5:11 pm

OMG OMG OMG -- I just broke my own babble rule! Dammit

5:11 pm

Oh my. Our long-resident cat has just come in, and has met our new rescue dog. The cat is very unimpressed, and the puppy is joyously bouncing around the cat. I predict trouble.....

5:12 pm

Too true, Trif. And I heard we won't be able to recognize NB's evil twin because he will be blonde and not asian. Curve ball!

5:12 pm

that is EXCELLENT judi!

5:12 pm

oh my god, don't get an iphone. I have one and, seriously, this magical device will NOT let me sleep. It's too incredible. I can't afford it even a little bit, but when the contract runs out I'm giving this baby a decent burial.

5:13 pm

well, the boy child loves his, that is for sure

5:13 pm

I love my iPhone, too...

5:13 pm

I have an ITouch. That's complicated enough. I just want a phone that makes and receives calls.

5:13 pm

the ability to babble anywhere would do me in.

5:14 pm

jellen i have a question regarding the i-phone...

5:14 pm

question,with these smart phones you get the phone for a low price(199-299) if you commit to a 2 or 3 year voice and data mplan.here the i-phone will be supported by,bell mobility,rogers and one other that i cannot think of atm.at the end of the contract is the phone actually yours? can you,at the end of the contract,jump to another voice and data provider?

5:15 pm

also, my caucasian twin sounds creepy enough without being evil into the bargain.

5:15 pm

Yes, crossy?

5:15 pm

we could make it another color, nancy....

5:15 pm

LOVE the IPad. But, I don't want one until it's a full blown personal computer. Just like on Star Trek.

5:15 pm

I don't know...

5:16 pm

I would think so, though...

5:16 pm

the U.S is at&t i understand byt we get bell,rogers and that third one i can never remember lol

5:16 pm

Sorry, guys. I just cant get my head around an evil NancyBoy twin - caucasian or

5:16 pm

Sorry, guys. I just cant get my head around an evil NancyBoy twin - caucasian or

5:17 pm

otherwise. Nancy boy is a one-off. (motherly hugs to NB)

5:17 pm

I can't really see you as evil either, nancy, but they ARE always good fun on soaps, so why not? Actors say the bad boys are the most fun to play....

5:17 pm

5:17 pm

Se**s Roebuck Company

5:18 pm

Boo - to burn.

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

wouldn't the penalty box be better?

5:18 pm

5:25 pm

does anyone have a clue for the first se5/10?

5:25 pm

she's a strange one, your daughter, Soodle ;)

5:25 pm

no,no, nancy's evil twin would have to be some big, ignorant jock lunk head

5:25 pm

And, as a mother of a 15 yr old girl, I am very much in favour of her fancying a gay lad!

5:26 pm

se5 is a river in France

Magyk...it's been a very strange experience. I spent last night at a friend's place (well actually, at one of leo's friend's places, which was odd) but I feel awkward doing that. I can't go to my family, so...no choice really.

5:47 pm

Hi, Gwen and ruru and others...

Nancy, I wish you were here beside me, so I could give you a huge cuddle.

Hi, Min...

The best I can do is to ask you to consider yourself cuddled!

5:50 pm

The invitation to chillout

5:50 pm

Hello Jellen! How are you? I just got here not long ago

5:51 pm

sounds like a good deal to me, Soodle ;) I had a very kind of cautious cuddle with Leo after Intense Discussions were over. I'm quite a cuddly person. Miss my hugs!

5:51 pm

hey jellen

5:51 pm

the invitation to chill out over here still stands, Nancy

5:51 pm

hello- im back - I hate this laptop

5:52 pm

5:55 pm

I wish I could rearrange hubby's face. I'm upset with him right now. Why are you upset with you daughter

5:55 pm

these last two days have put all the small issues into perspective - just not important

5:55 pm

Mom, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

5:55 pm

I hear that, MNH...

5:56 pm

5:57 pm

it sucks seeing him all wired up - at least they took half of them off but he still cant get up

5:58 pm

but his appetite hasnt changed - no food restrictions - i think they are shocked what he can put down and stay so thin

5:59 pm

sad news is (and he is upset about) he cant finish out baseball or go to soccer tryouts next week. Have to cancel our weekend camping trip as it is too far away.

5:59 pm

Crikey - I know how difficult it is to have a child in hospital. And how upside down you feel. My heart goes out to you Mom {{{{}}}}

6:01 pm

now that I have killed the chog I will dive into the game

6:02 pm

I am going to bed now. Mom, I will be praying for your boy. Nancy, I will be praying for you and Leo, and the rest of you, I will just say a little prayer for you all.

6:02 pm

My connection died...best wishes to you, Mom, and him!

6:03 pm

good night, Soodle :) thanks for all your support - I guess I should go to bed too. I have opted for the sofa...he offered to take it but he's six foot six. no way he'd gonna fit on it ;)

6:03 pm

thanks soodle - good night

6:04 pm

NB, HE should be on the sofa! He has some penance to do!

6:04 pm

G'night, Soodle

6:04 pm

Min, I'm mad at our daughter because she hasn't eaten today and *somehow* it's all our fault that she doesn't want to eat leftovers like us!

6:05 pm

Mom, Please keep in touch, and let us know how he is doing. Nancy - you keep the chin up, and stay positive.

6:05 pm

Good night all. Hugs and love to all the wonderful Babblers all over the world.

I can't help looking at him and thinking that he's suffered enough, Nef...it's not nice to say, but he looks rougher than I've ever seen him. He is beating himself up about it.

6:07 pm

good, NB. He needs to do that

6:07 pm

Magyk, what a genuinely sweet person you are :) with all these good people behind me, I feel a lot more confident.

6:08 pm

Lurking fireworks - Happy babbling all

6:08 pm

but is it strange that I feel really, really sorry for him? I really can't stand seeing him this upset!

6:09 pm

NB, when you left earlier, I said you needed to think of us as being at your back once you got to your place. I hope you did

6:09 pm

no it's not strange...it just shows how much you truly love him and care about him. It shows how unselfish you are

6:09 pm

hi, Metfan :)

6:09 pm

ooh, and well done!

6:10 pm

I do that all the time, Nef :)

6:10 pm

YAY, MetFan!!! WTG!!!

6:10 pm

:-)

It looks like I missed some important personal stuff?

6:11 pm

NB, because of my work, I want to mention the whole STD thing. Maybe you both need to be tested now?

Yep- I am coming in on a serious talk. I feel so gauche.

6:13 pm

hi Kaplan

6:13 pm

huh...I didn't ask him whether he took the appropriate measures or not. Drunk and impulsive, I think not. Errrk. Good call, Nef.

6:13 pm

Hi, Kaplan

6:13 pm

doc just came in - nothing earth shattering - we are definately here until tomorrow

6:13 pm

Not at all, Kaplan :) you can lighten it up for us!

6:13 pm

What happened, Mom?

Hi. What is yr work Nef?

6:14 pm

RN manager for a prenatal clinic ina pregnancy resource center, Kaplan

6:14 pm

oh dear, Mom :( still, better to be safe than sorry...I hope you get some answers soon

6:14 pm

my son fainted yesterday - heart beat over 300 for 45 minutes - we are currently in the PICU

YIKES!!!!

How old is your son?

6:15 pm

well Nef, at least nobody's pregnant.

6:15 pm

being a weekend, we have to wait for his cardiologist to come in tomorrow - he is 13 - born with a congenital heart defect repaired at 7 weeks old - no problems since, in fact, he is a big athlete

6:16 pm

lol NB - thank goodness for that

6:16 pm

OH, MY! Momn; he does belong there! (I've previously worked 34 years CV-ICU; -among other things!)

Boy, those nights in the ER with your kids! And they wonder why we get gray hair.

6:16 pm

LOL!, NB! ;-)

6:17 pm

what defect (may I ask, Momn?)

6:17 pm

the Ed got his heart rate down then moved him to a different hospital - we are back to where we were after he was born

6:17 pm

tetrology of fallot

6:17 pm

it's the only good thing about this situation. if you're gay you do a good job of side-stepping the pregnancy scares and that awful "you've made your bed and now you have to lie in it" pun.

6:18 pm

same diagnosis as that olympic snowboarder - my son looks up to him

6:18 pm

I worked with a lot of tetrology kids "back in the day." Did they think this might be related (haven't heard of this one before)

I don't think I can keep up here- I'm kind of done in.

6:19 pm

kap here is the cliffnotes: NB's boyfriend cheated on him, mom's son is in the hospital

6:19 pm

sorry, Kaplan. You could jump in with another topic; you know we're good at that

6:20 pm

the repair at 7 weeks consisted of a patch to the hole between the ventricles and removal of the pulmonary valve and widening of the artery. They now think he may have WPW by looking at the EKG - but the electrical Doc is not here weekends so we dont have an expert opinion yet. We are pretty sure Keith will need a cath procedure

6:21 pm

they have him on cardiac meds (his first ever) now to keep his rate slow and steady

6:21 pm

he is still throwing out an extra beat now and then though

Sorry to hear about all of this. I'm going to bed.

6:22 pm

thanks Kap - good night - Ill be quiet now or we wont have anyone playing anymore

No, it's fine- I am just bushed. you don't need to be quiet.

6:24 pm

I should go to bed too...especially if I have that awkward trip to the clinic tomorrow. can't believe I didn't think of that, Nef!

6:24 pm

Momn, WPW is very treatable. The extra beat is probably something that he may have been doing for some time.

6:24 pm

good luck nb

6:25 pm

(((NB))) you need to tell him too, NB

6:25 pm

((NB)) good luck

6:25 pm

Since I'm already praying for Jellen and Tim, adding Mom and Keith and Nancy Boy is easy. There's nothing else I can do, but prayer is powerful; while I can't do anything, God can do everything.

6:25 pm

And remember; YOU aren't the one who messed up

6:26 pm

thats very nice java2

6:26 pm

AMEN, java!

6:26 pm

thanks babble friends for your prayers

6:27 pm

NB, you've been in a committed relationship; so hold your head up high

6:27 pm

will do, Nef. Though I feel kind of embarrassed that the babblers know where I'm going. Not as embarrassed as I'll be tomorrow though.

6:27 pm

I am lucky - this is a great hospital just alittle over an hour from home - I can stay here with him in his room

6:27 pm

nothing for you to be embarrassed about NB

6:28 pm

NB:: no reason to be embarrassed!

6:28 pm

thank you, Java, that's so sweet :) although I don't think God takes too kindly to my kind of problem.

6:29 pm

NB, God loves you - I'm sure.

NB - are you still there? are you okay?

6:29 pm

Well, I always like to think I don't immediately come across as gay. This illusion is shattered when the nurses ask me for a throat swab. And errr...I'll leave you with that. Night, all! Mom, I can't offer my prayers, but you're in my thoughts :)

6:29 pm

NB, I've dealt with many a couple that I've had to tell the innocent partner to be tested; OR that they have gonorrhea or whatever. The person at the clinic shouldn't be anything but compassionate toeards you

6:30 pm

NB, God made us ALL in HIS image!

6:31 pm

(and I'm okay, thanks, Science :) Nef has just raised a very valid and kind of worrying point though...and thank goodness she has!)

6:31 pm

NB!! hi!...gonna read the chog now

6:31 pm

Absolutely, Nef; He loves us all. It's our choice to love Him - or not.

yes, get tested!

6:31 pm

thats my boy....

6:32 pm

right, I really am going now. take care, everyone, and my thanks again xx (but hi to M9 before I duck out!!)

6:32 pm

*mwah* nb

6:32 pm

I just think that some of us have a very narrow idea of what God's image is.

6:33 pm

Hugs, NB - we'll surround you with love...

6:33 pm

I know a 3 year old boy who told me that God loves us just the way we are (he had a near-deathe experience)

6:34 pm

And Nef, God is way bigger that any of our ideas! She is all-in-all...

6:34 pm

Now that I have ea5/10 and have fireworks,I can do a paragraph of clues. My ni4/4 monkeys were an4/4-Babble. When I se4/4 for them they didn't come. So I had to drag them here by their ea4/4. They were up to their old an 5/12 of being disobedient and being a pain in the ar4/4 again today. They made me te5/10 and they drove me in 6/18. Monkeys are the on 4/4 that usually do that. They'd rather play in the he4/5 of the sun. I wish they would run off to New York Ci 4/7 and never come back. When I finish this grid, I'll celebrated with a banana and won't give them one bi 4/6.They to be te5/10ed. They will probably start to ra 4/4 on about how mean I am. They did not ea 4/4 any rewards today. Now I'm going to get out of this se4/4 to ne6/18 the kitchen and ir 4/4 sone clothes for tomorrow.I will be back so 4/4 to help with clues.

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:56 pm

Hi and bye -- back after supper -- just dropped in to see how many more words I need, after a busy day (it's 35)

9:57 pm

Hi JillyJill -- we have rather common names these days, but I'm really a Gillian.

9:58 pm

Heyas kids ..

9:58 pm

My niece is named Jillian and she spells it w/a J jillibus

9:58 pm

Hi torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:58 pm

brb after I set the microwave to zap a deli stirfry (on sale)

9:58 pm

And I'm a Jill, but my father-in-law gave me that nickname..

9:58 pm

hey torg

9:59 pm

Min, she's entitled to do so, but I deplore that spelling, being a Brit kid where Gillian was the only way to spell it.

10:00 pm

Hi, tor and jilli!

10:00 pm

I always wanted Gillian....would have named a daughter that, but only had boys..

10:02 pm

I went through such agonies when I went from England to the USA at age 13 and got put in the boys' gym class because nobody had ever heard the name Gillian, and my second name is Leslie, which didn't help. Nowadays, try to figure out if a Taylor is a boy or a girl, something my poor grandson deplores.

10:03 pm

Back asap!

To put the sheer size of the BP oil spill into perspective, someone created a program to let you measure it against the land mass surrounding your home town. Click on the link, then enter your town, and province in the location box top of page, and 'move' the oil spill. Scary! http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com
