that's strange!
if you clear out your cookies... that happens
did I break the chat?
think everyone's deep into the grid Dee
:~)
Making a useless protest about fudger not being a word
I agree!!!
Exceedingly late flip...
only 2 more for NBT
How is the grid?
hi Jellen, hope things are improving for you
doesn't seem too easy
We hope to go home tomorrow, flosey...
won't that be wonderful
I find this grid relatively straightforward, but then, on the other hand, I only have 34 words so far
I found a melanoma chat room tonight...been there for over an hour...
NBT!
Now I'm debating the wisdom of starting the grid...
wtg, josh
wtg joshtats
Jellen, I have 54 words in 40 minutes, if you can take anything from that
I think I shall wait to see what tomorrow brings...grids tend to wake my mind up, not settle it down...
may see you tomorrow then
I don't know if it makes a difference, Jellen, but cure isn't in this grid, only as a phantom
Happy Babbling, all...
g'night Jellen
I think I'll take a rest cure, Douglas...

fireworks

hi and nbt
hi and wtg josh
hello from a little town called alpine, texas
how little?
i think something like 4000 people. big enough to have internet but not much more than that
so why are you there?
a friend of mine told me to see marfa, texas but the 2 motels in that town were way too expensive so i'm 20 miles down the road
nbt, thanks to the volcano which had been hiding
wtg jilli
what's the attraction in marfa?
Have you heard of the Marfa lights, josh?
a couple of things, incidentally. it's sort of like a living edward hopper painting due to all the minimalist artists and designers who have moved into town
and also there is the marfa mystery lights, alluded to by douglas just now
i could not see them tonight but they are supposed to be strange
ah, I seem to remember something about the lights.
fireworks
wtg anike
YAY anike!!!
grats anike
TY
Can I offer any clues before I go?
too soon for me, thanks, anike
thanks anike, have a way to go yet
but if you feel like spouting a few, willy-nilly, lol...
Do you have all the 7's?
have only 3
phant urethane
I just got here and have none, but never look for the long words right away -- I like to grow them out of shorter words if possible. Doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy a clue, though.
7's are an, ce, cr, de, re x 3, ru, un and ur
oops, there's a ur7 that is a lot like the phantom i just mentioned
thanks anike
thanks, anike, but Lickety tells us that.
OK, sorry. If lickety is there then I'll say farewell. See you tomorrow. Happy babbling
Thanks anyway, anike, and have a good day!
Requesting stats on either of the two words for the 4th row e that aren't a female relative
do you mean the a, douglas
en5/10
ec4/6
ec4/6
jilli ... en + I a** it for dinner
Now that was a perfectly normal word! *Requests fish*
norma, I was giving stats -- I have the word, thanks
ec4 is a colour
Ok sorry
I wasn't asking for clues -- douglas had asked for stats
Thanks to flosey and jilli's assistance, I am now at mnbt2
thanks anyway ;)
there are 2 en5/10's for that tile, btw
thanks josh
fireworks... with some list help, indeed
well done justa
YAY freep!
Congrats freep!
I wonder how many times that second ta6/21 will appear before I think of it on my own?
You mean, as in ******, rested and ready?
one of those pesky things, even in its te version
no, douglas. that's the first ta6/21. I got that one!
someone is going to have a cow when they find the he6
thanks, ruru!

budgie smugglers -- priceless
{peers through the door and wonders if her seat is still free and whether its full of cobwebs and dust}
Hi there Kiwi, good to see you again
hi groovy, all places are kept, nice to see you
rudge
how are things going Kiwi
morning all
hello sprite
hi sprite
kia ora all my friends from deepest darkest wet and wild kiwi land
hey Kiwi :)
ups and downs flosey but ok atm
spriteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy yyyyyyyy
missed you around, hun!
so many changes in the last few months i havent really had time to settle in to babble life again
cool icon, flosey
thanks sprite
well you're here now :) How are you atm?
well i have a new job
and im going through a custody battle with my mother of all people over my younger son who is currently living with my ex who doesnt want him anymore
let's hear it!
wow
im now group compliance manager (thats all things quality, environmental, health and safety) for a company who facilitates maintenance for local government low socio-nomic housing
omg that is pretty intense :( How come your mother changed sides?
i manage the local branch and also have control over a branch in the south island so have to spend at least 2-3 days a month away from home
oh my Kiwi, doesn't that put your son in a tough situation
sounds like a great job for you
oh he wants it flosey but i dont= my mother has been threatening it for the last year and now she has my ex on her side she thinks she can do it but i go to court tomorrow to plead with the judge to let him come back to me
hope the judge will listen to you Kiwi
i guess ill find out tomorrow
the judge will give him to you , thats the right thing to do
on the plus side im still with the same man (jas) and i think i told you all last time i was around that my eldest son kieran and i are living with him now
very stressful. Your son will be heard too by the judge?
that is beautiful, Kiwi. At least your jas is a good one :)
the court has appointed him his own lawyer being as that he is 14 this weekend - i dont even know if i will see him on his birthday - i havent heard from him in two weeks
ah, so it would seem that you have the law on your side Kiwi
must be very hard on your son, this whole mess. Being rejected by dad is a cruel blow, and then grandma and ma fighting over him... he must feel rotten.
oh no he thinks that living with nan will be the best thing to happen to him so the report from his lawyer says - all these promises of material things and freedom....
but don't you think the judge will see through at these promises
what is your mother thinking of, a child should be with his mum
yeah the easy way out... but with you he will get some more structure and stability, and that is much more important. Will keep my fingers crossed, Kiwi.
i am hopefull but at 14 sometimes the court decides in favour of the childs wishes but i do have some big guns to pull out if need be on how bad my mum has been in the past - the not so legal things she does now and what life was like living in a house where the stepfather is an alchololic
that is pretty serious stuff. Sounds like any thinking judge should rule in your favour.
holy mackerel -- I went away for a minute and look what happened! Hi kiwi! Hi sprite!
i agree sprite
is the stepfather still there Kiwi?
hiya jilli :) Love your troll :)
hey jilli
oh yeah my step dad is still there and the fights and arguments still happen
thanks, sprite! I almost picked yours -- isn't it revolting!
doesn't sound like a good situation for your son to go into
yeah lol it is. It is a Rien Poortvliet drawing from his book about kabouters... not sure if there is a good english word for it.
Well, a Dutch artist entitles you to have it, lol!
I thought so too!
Kiwi, I'm sorry you're having such troubles -- you've had enough! But that kid must be so confused, going through being 14 as well as all the other disruptions.
my mother is brainwashing him thats all there is too it
jilli: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th e_Secret_Book_of_Gnomes
i have a 14 year old grandaughter so know how open to suggestion they are at that age
Thanks, sprite!
if you don't mind me saying so, Kiwi, I think your mother is being incredibly selfish in this matter. She should support you in giving your sons as much peace and stability as possible. Not adding to the troubles.
my mother cant stand the fact that i am not under her control anymore and decided that enough was enough last year and told her so
i could show you the mountain of txts ive received over the last 7 months threatening me for being an unfit mother yada yada
ah man! Revenge, over the back of your son? That is the most selfish thing in existance. Good for you to have broken loose from that, Kiwi. I hope that the judge will see through her right away.
i even got a text from her last week saying she was taking logan to samoa on holiday in september and if i didnt like it to get a lawyer because i couldnt stop her
Well, I've run out of steam -- 100/39 so it's off to bed I go -- goodnight/evening/morning all and *poof*
kiwi, if the judge doesn't see this then your son will in time
sleep well jilli
nite jili sweet dreams
night jilli
bye jilli
fireworks
and now off to bed, goodnight all
woohoooo wtg flosey ^5
yay flosey
wtg flosey!
and sleep well
bye flosey
we'll all be pulling for you Kiwi
thanks flosey hugs sleep well
hey im over halfway and didnt even realise lol
babble is like riding a bicycle :)

i had not ridden a bike for 40 years and tried one recently and fell off
morning all, having trouble with cr 4 .... only found 1 word but wont take it....
only bike ive been anywhere near lately is the one at the gym lol

my pride was injured
creu
millsbooks: you can go two ways for cr. This one is C + don't be so r**e to me.
sorry
thank you
yvw
so what have i missed in the last too long to remember time (except that i do know about DrG and his new design lol)
let's see... stidmama and lady finished their study year very successfully
Haz did a midnight walk for a good cause and raised quite an amount of money for it
Ata broke her leg on holiday and had to be put into a brace, hence limiting her mobility and Hobbit's.
wtg haz oh no ata
I am finally moving away from the bottom of the pit and feeling more energised. I want to do a study for TTouch for animals.

bye Andree *hug*
fireflies. Bye all.
good morning
Ruby, I just was in Merton for a few days. Thought about you. Never on at this time at home. Lovely visit.
hello, joansie!
just been to Geneva and back to the dentist
Sprite was here earlier. I am now at the Amsterdam airport. Missed sending her a greeting.
it's not far, but tiring anyway!
But a dentist!!!!!
are you buying bulbs and seeds? I think it's one of the best garden stores in the world!
Just have carry ons and I filled the spaces with French cheese.
how bad is that? lol
will they stop you at customs?
No, the US allows cheeses, but no meat or fresh produce
bought 500 gm of Morbier (sp)
I think they ask if it's pasteurized, so just say "Of course!"
Hi, just on for a sec, but what fun to see that you're here-- I'm at work in downtown Amsterdam.
love Morbier!
Good advice
Is there a covering like wax or cloth on the cheese? Then it's always allowed.
I spent part of the weekend"in " Holland, via the Tour de France. It was fascinating to see all the wind farms along the route to Belgium from Rotterdam
We do get a LOT of wind.
I've taken cheese thru other times just wrapped in the supermarket saran.
it was a very interesting route
Oh, Monkey you are in these parts. Waving in the distance!
I've had very few problems with US customs, but when they get nasty, they are awful!
I've seen them give people carrying an apple a really hard time
If I drop out of chat without warning (aside from this warning, of ocurse) it's because I'm at work and stuff happens here sometimes, like visitors arrive.
Waving back!
I peeled an orange at the checkpoint and presented
hawaii on the way to the mainland
they are very weird and inconsistent
great chatting off to board my flight
bye! bon voyage!!!!
Bye! If I hear a plane go over soon I'll think of you!
get the pilot to "tip" his wings at Katrina!
Better do my Dutch homework before the teacher gets here. She's observing my workplace today.
bye, monkey, see you later!
helop
Hey herin

Nice grid today, down to 15 but have ground to a halt.

OPPS No This is Season 5 I can't read the tv guide
me Herin?
Hi Good Enough
ok, it is the current season then I believe
season 5 episode 2 probably
It's a post mortum style show following the weekend's footy (as in Aussie Rules football)
Yes you Mom?
ah I see
yes I remember her
herin, you're a Melbourne girl, are you not?
You know that she died?
HI NGE
Opps Good Enough even
helloo. not a very friendly grid at first look

hmmm so it's just me, not the grid :(
Yes I found the news quiet sad as I liked her personallity
that is sad
was she ill?
no
this was in 2007
hmmm will have to look that up
refed
oh Dofith, I had that one :(
would like to get the cr 8 in the next 7 minutes, before I have to start my day
Oh no, I did it again!
Mom. Some reports said suicide some said investigation
lol
hmmm
Maybe it was a private matter not for public so the public could mind their own
cr 8 is like when you're burnt instead of buried, but with one consonant changed in the middle
Change the m
oh bless you Dofith, thank you so much
thank you dofith!
good time to leave. enjoy your day all :)
you as well Good Enough, bye bye

Dof do you know the Raspberry Jellies from Wollies?
I do not
Wollies .... F. W. Woolworth?
Mom this my be an Aus thing. I mean the Raspberry Jelly Lollies
Safeways
we don't have Safeways near us
and with the temp going to 93 today, I think I will head to my mom and dad's early and get back here before it gets too hot out
I wish you all a good day and I hope all of you can have a prayer or thought today for River's son Keith that his procedure goes well
Take Care Mom and yes
bye bye {{Herin}}
bye bye {{Dofith}}
Back again - 'bye Mum/Mom
Doff did you get what I said
Looking... Raspberry jellies? Don't know them.
Um lollies live in the lollies section
Yes, I do = pascall make them?
No, was looking for your post!
no homebrand
And they make a frog from the same stuff - yummy
Woolies or Safeway?
We don't have Safeway here
Yep Home brand. Dunk them in melted lindt choc scoop and shake out with a slotted spoon and set in fridge
Safeways and Wollies are one and the same
Sounds good to me! I've always thought chock and jellies make a great combo.
Well, not here - no Safeway
But we do have Woolies
So are ou in Melbourne?
Yes
Where?My husband's from East Ivanhoe
South
Follows the Bombers, big time
I don't watch football
unless you mean Soccer
All his family are there, some down near Geelong. I was last there about 4 yrs ago for a family wedding
How are ou going with this grid? I'm finding it difficult - 2nd half
Not that hard
It is damn cold
Yes, colder here than usual, too
You are in Perth yes?
Yes
ok
Dang it my friend is not answering her phone
O boy. Some parents
Whose?Why? Yours?
No my friends sister
with her nephew
What happened?
The kid steals from his aunt then his mum lets him go to a party on the weekend, In the words of Red Don't make me break my foot off in your arse
I think some parents are scared of their kids
How old's the kid?
15
and she is letting him smoke. Seriously If that was my kid my foot would be up his ass and the milk bar that sells him smokes would be told
Sounds like he's got Mummy right where he wants her!
Mind you, she's lost the battle already - years ago.
Too late to start any discipline now
The thing that really pisses me off and sorry to vent is that we raised him. He was always around adults. Taught not to be a dick.
sorry so grrr right now
greetings~ someone have a clue for ce7?
ce7-part man-part horse
ty! I could not see that word for the life of me
yvw-it took me a while, too
hey
I am so excited...Yesterday, I finally understood how to put page numbers in my book manuscript in OpenOffice writer, and I am that much closer to publiishing the book. It's taken more than a year to write. I almost gave up on it more than once.
What's the book about?
congrats, angelsong-way to go!
I'm a frustrated writer-hence my babblename
Yah Angel
the book is non fiction, and it is about organizing a home, living frually and saving money
What is it called? This seems like a great time to publish a book like that.
like the blog being frugal.... good luck with the book ..angelsong
"Saving Our Sanity: How One Family Learns to Organize, Live Frugally and Gain Financial Freedom"... SoS for short...
Hello Babble Buddies!
hello scrabs
howdy
Angel, how did you discover how to place page 3s?
#s
hi
Hi Lady.
hi all
Hi daykat
HI Daykat
Hello herin:) scrabbler:)
Hello
anyone have the n from the bottom rightcorner?
anyone have the n from the bottom rightcorner?
not yet
na4/4--name for Grandma
ty
time to put it aside if i could not see that one
that is normaly a term of endearment
it nearly drove me up a wall, Scrabbs. I was reading manuals for open office writer online, and all of them seemed to say something different. Then I found a tutorial on how to create a simple template, which I did successfully. So, I decided to create my own template for the book, and started creating page styles and paragraph styles for it and just played with it for a while. I finally realized I was making things much more difficult than they had to be. my template for the book was a mere six page styles, and I added a couple more as I worked on it. Manual page breaks help a lot. All of a sudden, I looked at my document, and found the page numbers were present where they were supposed to be, and they were not on pages that were not set up for them. I almost couldnt believe it.
Haha, Owl. How hot is it your way? we will have another 90 degree day here
So it happened by accident, Angel?
well in nyc metro are qill be 98. and the air does not work well here, got about 6 hours sleep.
running up and down to find cooler spot bedroom or living room
It cools down here in the woods so during the night I needed a blanket.
invest in a set of wool clothes
in a manner of speaking, yes. Writer insists "pages" do not exist until the document is printed...but it does have page styles. Never again will I work on a large document without styles.
well i am here to be near father who is in hospital and while i want to go home i am worried about him in heat. this is the typed of home that heats like an oven
What happened with your father, Owl?
hurt his back. then not quite sure. troubles with meds, he slept from 10 to 2 the nedxt day missing meds & food
groggy and in pain and the heat
Uh, oh. Is he OK on his own?
if not for the back pain i think so. he had a nice medication sheet with times for the pain meds.
Poor guy.
and he said "i didn't take an overdose you know" !
then atiral fib had heart racing perhaps due to pain
I need to assemble a picnic table here on my back deck and I should start before it's too hot, shouldn't I?
Hi babblers! :) Happy Tuesday!
With old folks, it's one thing leading to another.
hi cath.
Hi Cathy--haven't seen you here in a LONG time. How is Buster?
and at hospital they had him in isolation. seems when he was sick last year it was MRSA
MRSA? Owl whats that?
Buster is great! Thanks Scrab! He's almost 5 but still acts like a puppy! LOL
MRSA is so widespread now. I see a few cases each week--kids with boils + abscesses.
hello babblers!
My neighbor just got a Lhasa Apso--named Buddy--and although there are trees between our yards I hear them talking to him. "Go potty, Buddy."
I haven't had a lot of time to Babble. :( It makes me procrastinate more than facebook does! LOL!!! But I'm anxious to see the new layout when it finally arrives!
LOL. as if
Me too--expecting it anyday.
Hi Eva
ok time to head out to hospital. happy babbling
MRSA = methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus--strain of Staph not killed by a penicillin.
Good luck with your father, Owl. Which hospital?
LOL Scrab...as Buster has grown, he appears to be a bit big to be Shih-Tsu, so the vet now thinks he's not purebred and has a bit of Lhasa in him. :S Didn't get papers when we bought him so we are not sure.
Thanks Scrab - horrible - my brother has long term spinal injury and has just been told he has a Urinary tract infection which is antibiotic resistant and the docs cant do anything for him - could kill him!
ummm....may I ask for a clue for the an7 please?
I am hearing it now: "Come on, Buddy, go potty." Sometimes I hear that for 20 minutes before the lady says, "Good boy, you went potty."
holy name
daycat...that's awful...so sorry! :(
good luck templeowl
daykat, it is probably VRE--vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus.
OK, Owl. I have a med school classmate at St Barnabas, but that is south.
Best wishes TO
LOL...tell her to NOT give him a treat each time he potties...Buster now STILL thinks he should have a cookie each time he comes in the door! LOL
I don't have an7 yet
thanks Cathy , and Scrabbler. He's had a high level spinal injury for 30 yeasr so we are all lucky to have him live so long I guess, he's more than exceeded his life expectancy
st barnabas is in one of the cities- newrak or patterson i think
Wow, daykat, he has defied the odds!
an7 = an** (against) + f**(repair)
he has indeed - he is amazing - works full time, has two gorgeous daughters, happy marriage
oops--you mean an4 that means adding to the kitty
Wow, daykat--inspiring!!
thanks daykat...i swear i tried that word and it wouldn't take it! lol...maybe it was a dream...i started this grid before bedtime just after the flip. LOL
What an example of courage + perseverance!
JFC DayK he is not dead and honestly if he has that much to live for he will kick it out of his system.
yeah, he is - but its not nice to see him looking ill now. He is getting treatment from naturopath, hope she can assist where the medicos cant
Many people with recurrent UTIs are "colonized" with bacteria in their bladder although they do not have an infection
well...gotta go make some lunch for my son...then paint his room...nice to see you all, brief though it was....BBL. :)
Sorry but I am in a really shitty mood.
see yoou later Cath
I need breakfast + to begin chores around the house. I work the evening session today so am free til 5.
i have a colleauge at work who was injured at age 16 and is now 51. he amazed me because he appears so normal and healthy except for being paralyzed from chest down. i have never know anyone like that - in terms of not having tons of proablems.
you ok herin?
kat i wish the best
kat i wish the best
know what you mean - brother looks mostly pretty bloody good - we tend to forget just how many issues he has
Thanks Templowl
yes there is pain and muscle spasms
i make a tea with uva ursi for bladder infections.. maybe that would help..
Thanks Wyrd - I know the naturopath he is seeing has prescribed several teas, I'll mention this one to him as well
good luck daykat
TY
bearberry,,will have to check it out
check for allergic reaction first, you just don't drink anything
uva ursi grows wild on the west coast, its a member of the cranberry family
aah, cranberrys seems to be the thing for UTI's
and yes, always test a bit of something first
oddly enough, they use the leaves as well
had a few idiots make Gypsum tea by accident once
Indians call it "knick knick"
another guy mistook hemlock for a carrot
good morning~
Hi M9
Hi M9 - love your icon
I've smoked Kinnikinnick
thanks day.. time to find out the new theme though
my wife sto;e my wormwood and smoked it
wormwood can be danergous no?
when eaten or drank in a elixer, but no reports of getting hurt from the smoke
Yes
It is a toxin
it is why absinthe is illegal in the US
And further more isn't that like saying Alchole is ok smoked not drunk it is still a toxin
wormwood tea kills the bugs in the chicken shed:)
ahhh absinthe,the green fairy
we have it here
stuf tastes horrid
It is banned in the states because they drink Bud which tastes like cat piss so that really isn't a comparison
what you do is drain a shot through a sugar cube over half a glass of water,then you fire the sugar cube and tossit in the concoction
funny but no, to many hippes drank it and got wierder
ah..never know what the convo is gonna be here!LOL
wondering how herin is so familiar with the taste of cat piss?
No too many hippies touched the decent LCD and MJ and messed their brain patterns and Smoking Wormwood is just a legal alternative to MJ
what a saying.. (But if I ever tried cat piss I am sure it would taste like Bud)
lol american beer=water,if i want a glass of water,ill turn on a tap ty
RU have you smelt cat pee?
oh sure
LOL... I always think of beer as carbonated piss.. but I've never drank it either. although there are some who think that that's good for you.
Yep there you go smells like that got to taste similar right
Wormwood has both a psychoactive and medicinal functio
@Hints for the gu 4s please
well if you had said bud SMELLS like cat piss I would have been right there with you
I can tell you know that you smoke enough wormwood you hallucinate
johny b Gu4
I just got a gu.. yup that was the one ruru
thanks and the 13?
gu=3244
gu+ double const
follow the letters with high points
don't give me any gu4 (argument)
ruru makes me gu4/13aw
:D
is it really 13...
three billy goats gr*** (minus the r)
If you know what the well of souls is you know this one
so, so obvious
thank gods for a tinnie
smaand cute pic..what I loaded of it.
i'm off to bed babblers. nite
indeed smaan,but you should shrink it down a bit as pics that size then to impact the speed at which babble runs...so im told
Granddaughter No 1 in Berlin
nite day
will do
crossie I believe that is a tad HS. Because the net runs at the speed of your um internet
just what i was told herin..i have analyzed it for exact accuracy,but i keep my pics small just the same

Hi, Kaplan
Hello Jello.
Hi Kaplan.
Ru you still here?
Hello-your name is in the grid .
I'm here- barely.
just came back herin
I will list soon but I really truly must do something else.
Later, Kaplan...
Ru Sorry I meant Crossie
I thought you too were in Canada
I thought you meant ME. What narcissists!
Ru how is puppies?
huh. some very twisty words in the upper left.
HI DC
Hi, dc
hi, jellen and herin
Sorry, got distracted commenting on the new, green-backgrounded picture that Dr_God posted in Babble Community in FB
looking
I don't know I like white
yeah, not ideal, but much better for my eyes compared to the blue
prefer white it is easier to see
i'm hoping he goes with the option to choose
As in the way it is now Is fine
It is a tad bright as a background isn't it.
FMitch!
Isn't blue light kinda bad for your eyes? I forget.
yes, though looking here, it looks like he took the current green behind the tiles and expanded it, no?
hey nb!
i just found that shade of blue painful to look at.
Hi Jellen and dc and all
hi, FM, NB, m9
Hi, NB!
Hi, all :) just on break. Dead on my feet already - gonna be a long evening!
Long time dc, hope is all well with you !
eh, okay, ty
PS that is todays grid
yeah, he seems to work with that day's grid for the demos/photos
I like the colour scheme that we have now.
yes, a white background is simple and I wonder if Dr_G has taken into account those Babblers that play with eye issues?
I also like the current lay out. It is not busy
Good morning/afternoon/evening all. Must check twitter to see if the new, new colour is there.
Hello, Haz
as a non-FB user, what is actually being changed?
Afternoon HAz.
I am still staring at it not liking it at all. Makes my head hurt and gawd forbid think
http://tinyurl.com/25ustxu Just for you NAncy
Hello! Yes, just checked twitter, he has the new green there as well.
hello, haz.
I wonder how the new layout will affect players like Angelsong?
oh, ta! hmmm...well, makes no odds to me. given me a few words, though ;)
Hello, dc, it's a while since I've seen you.
oops not Angelsong meant Inge.
Or inge - she definitely has problems with her eyes.
Inge?
hello all
Oh, I thought you meant Angelsong from the point of view of her webpage about babble.
Yes well I don't like the colours
anyone know of a no kill animal shelter near PA in the USA
i found the shae of blue first proposed painful to look at.
Hi, peri
yes she has a curtailed vision so has problems seeing the grid.
hi, peri
inge has macular degeneration.
Hello, peri.
my cat is still pooping the living room and dining room and my sister is threatening to put her out if she does not stop :(
hmph. effed is so a word.
THankyou Haz, I could remember the correct medial term.
how old is the cat?
Oh peri!
the green makes me want to vomit.
I can imagine that you're pretty stressed, peri.
The cat seems rather put out.
For MD, the kind of light computer screens emit is bad anyway
very stressed. I do not know what to do. there is no place to confine her. was thinking of buying a cage and keeping it upstairs in my room but not sure that this will fly
Sorry to hear that, Peri :(
Did you ever get a proper diagnosis on what is going on with the cat, peri?
NB, do you refer to CRTs?
I mean, is it behavioural, is it a physical problem? I thought you had been having some success with other treatment, has that now stopped?
vet says she has a UTI, put her on Baytril which she would not take. I started her on a homeopathic remedy and she has been on it for two weeks. seems to help with peeing outside the box
Possibly, Seain. What I just said is pretty much the extent of what I either know, think I know, or have heard ;)
But not with the pooping...
I am thinking it is behavioral but not absolutely sure.
I was out for a bit and got home before any9one else and found a "present" right at the entrance to the living room *sigh*
I have to confess complete ignorance of cats and their ways, but I hope you can find someone professional to talk to who can offer some help.
may take her back to the doctor who only deals with cats
ditto what Haz says and I feel for you peri!
Peri. To start with. Cat box has to be super clean. The UTI will be making it very uncomfortable for her to wizz in the box. The kitty needs to take her pills.
I clean out the box twice a day.
Yes, or even see if there is any internet forum to give you advice.
ok, bbl
Ha are you done with the grid, I found it a good one today, esp the alt sp of my fav hedgehog.
See you, peri. Hang in there!
And the cat has to be in a non stressed environment. Don't flip out when she pees on the rug. Best advice is when you go out give her some treats in the bathroom put her dirt box in there and make it comfy
I know, I thought of you when I saw the spiky one again.
:)
Also don't use ammonia / bleach based products they smell of cat wizz.
I think peri has gone, herin.
Good points herin.
damn because I had to look up this stuff with my cats. Also she/he needs to be snipped. Humane Society in the states offer decent help for people with pets
oh no, she's talking about cat piss again
Poor kitty. I love my boys so much! My flatmate overheard me talking to them and thought I must have had someone back to stay the night. "I love you, yes I do..."
lol NB
aww..sweet
NB, tom has asked me who i'm talking to sometimes, and i reply "the cat" and he just looks at me funny and walks away LOL
hello all - read a cute story about the husband who thought his wife was asking if he wanted chicken or fish for dinner and when he answered her she said "not you I was talking to the cat"
I wonder how the cat indicated a preference?
lol ursh!
LOL Seain! Well, they are the perfect listeners ;) mine look at me so sympathetically.
exactly, NB
LOL ursh, yes exactly!
Nancy do you have another kitty?
well my cat answers me - i have no idea what he is saying but he definitely answers my questions
Two, Herin - Frank's. Both rescues and both 100% adorable!
im back,both our cats are rescued kitties:)
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
meow
we prolly have the two most gorgeous cats evah!
((crossy))
My cat talks to me
((FM))
Mums Burmese cat talked andyou could tell what he was saying apart from when he started yowling/singing :)
our two are from the local rescue shelter too
Good for you, Crossy :) I would never get an animal that wasn't a rescue - they give so much, might as well give something back!
our dog is too.
Mine have become essential in listening to my whining ;)
hello all
Hello, sixty.
Last night I get all settled in bed then I hear the door thumping. I get up and one cat is asleep and the other is looking at me. I go back to bed and start to sleep and then it happens again. Desperate pawing and thumping on a door. Turns out one of them closed the bathroom door were the litter trays are. Lucius needed to pee NOW and he woke me up
ooh luv all my cats and dogs which have all been either shelter or drop offs
Mine have a sort of crazy hour at 3 in the morning. Run all over the room, all I can get is pattering paws and a lovely breeze as they race around ;)
It just makes so much sense. Why encourage the inhumane breeding 'standards' when you can pick up someone lovely from a shelter?
NB as long as they don't nard you on the way through
I've survived so far ;) well, back to work for me. Sitting down has been fatal - getting back up on my feet is going to be aaagony ;)
oh lol re your story herin!
FM the little bugger picked 1am to do it both times just as I had gotten comfy
Later Nancy
Good evening all.........((((((FM)))))))) I bbrought you some olives back from Rhodes
Hello, caitlyn. Welcome home!
Oh I didnt go to Rhodes I went to Corfu LOL
Hi Haz
Oh cait, I was just about to poof but seeing as its you I will stay for a while - How was Corfu?
It was really great, its a very lush island and all we had to do was relax
*pours a chilled glass for cait and hopes to tase an olive or two*
Hi Cait
Corfu is a wonderful island.
Thank you for the wine cheers, I will put some ouzo in the pb
Hi herin!
We travelled around on the local buses, its a very good service
ick, ouzo and i and not friends. Glad you had a good holiday.
can't help it: http://tinyurl.com/27p5aml
Sorry FM what would you like to go with your olives?
more olives *grin*
No problem
Lovely pic m9 - yours?
How has everyone been?
Atas leg is getting better, Haz did a Moolightwalk for BreastCancer and Babble is going to change soon.
that's my 14 yo's cat, Jessa. we got her as an adolescent from the shelter.
If that is her at 14 she is a Queen!
Well done Haz!! Get well soon Ata! Why change what is ok?
Thanks, caitlyn.
Ah, but Dr-G wants to change ok to fantastic.
JAmie deided it was time to fiddle with Babble.
I saw it on FB but not sure if we all have the change (Having an elderly moment)
no..she is the cat of my 14 yo daughter!LOL
I think it's hard to judge until after you have a go at the new site and see what it's like to play the game.
When is it supposed to change?
I can tell you are still traumatised Haz as you didn't use the underscore for Dr G
Whats wrong Haz?
We don't know cait - I would hope that Dr_G would beta test the site firest.
*first even!
and this is the 4yo with his dog (last year when son was 3..dog was not quite 1) http://tinyurl.com/259lbeu
Talking of first - tenuous link - nice grid today.
Yes it is FM yesterdays was a stinker
It is, not too long, normal words, the odd strange one, and not a hair tearer.
and on that note I am going to poof as I am hungry. Happy Babbling all.
Bye FM take care, I will be around tomorrow as my car has died, more time to babble!!
Bye, FM, enjoy your food.
bye FM
Suppose I should go to bed since it is 245am
Poor car. No hope of rescue?
Night herin, go and get some sleep
It would seem to be sensible, herin.
I dont think so Haz final verdict tomorrow, trouble is we wont have a car to go and look foe a different one
*for*
That's a bit of a nuisance. Will you look for a second-hand one or go for the new car smell?
After just coming home from hols it will have to be 2nd hand
You can buy 'new car' scented air fresheners anyway.
LOL Thats a good idea
I know, shows imagination, doesn't it?
I think change is good, as long as it preserves the status quo.
Hi BR
bye all. gotta go to the family history center
as a taurus i tend to agree br;)
Hello, BabbleRabble. Have you any opinion on the changes proposed?
Hello, peeples
Bye m9 see you soon
though it will be interesting to see what magic dr_god has done to the game
I have not seen then ..... not a member of facebook.
Hi crossy
crossy does not do fb
howdy cait
Nor am I, BabbleRabble, but if you're interested, there is a version available on twitter. www.twitter.com/BabbleOverlord.
ty for link haz;)
I figure Jamie is the boss ..
mm says page does not exist
http://twitter.com/babbleoverlord
try that one crossy and hello everyone
ty mom:))
Hi mom
http://twitter.com/BabbleOverlord
hope it works crossy
Hi caitlyn
Hello, Mom.
Hi Haz
looks interesting and he is making the tiles clickable..glad i thunk of it lol
greetings sweltering masses
good day to stay inside and goof off. 93 degrees today
Hello everybody, Mom, Haz, Crossy, BabbleRabble, Cait, M9 and everybody else. :-)
Hi Bonkler and {{Soodle}}
Hello, Soodle. I don't think we'd count as one of the sweltering masses, would we?
Hello, Bonkler.
howdy soodles
Don't think so, Haz. I fear our sweltering days are over....at least for this week anyway!
one site i looked at yesterday had the temp (factoring in humidex) as feeling like 41, air temp of 34
I'll trade heat for a little rain
I know. There's always the fear that once it starts raining in July, it won't stop until next May.
we are still sweltering here
88f atm
Hi bonkler and soodles
oh Haz, that is plain yucky
Mom, theres 'a little rain' and then theres Ireland.....
So, any news of when the 'big change' is going to happen?
I would settle for just a little rain, we have had too much already
Thanks for the twitter link. The changes will take me some time to get used too, especially if lickety's list will not be available.
Babble-related, rather than menopause....
I don't know Soodle, but I am just like a kid waiting for Santa, I am so anxious to see it all together. Dr_God if you are listening, please answer
Dr_G is hoping to incorporate many of features available through Lickety,BR.
Why wont Licketys list be available?
and above the stats it says to click on a tile for a clue
is lickety retiring?
The new redesigned site won't be compatible with Babble expert - what that means I have no idea in computer terms, but I think he's hoping to do as much as possible to compensate.
ahh ok
I dont like changes and I dont think I like the sound of this change
not that keen on having clues on the front page. don't use lickety
I guess it shall be Kay Sarah Sarah
poor lickety he has been downsized;(
you would have to click on the tile, it wouldn't automatically show up
hope the option to hide all the cruft exists
so those that want clues can get them and those that don't won't have to look
I don't think Dr_G could reasonably expect people to welcome change unless it catered to people's needs, and most people like the choice to use a list (or not).
lol BR and hello
Hello, Mom
what is cruft Bonkler
cruft: excess visual info, junk, stuff one doesn't need/want
and of course you have to leave it to LIl*Monkey, she was wondering if the surprise box at the bottom of the grid will be naked pictures of babblers. Silly Monkey
ah, I see, thanks Bonkler
LOL Mom!
like websites that have every damn thing your mousae gets near turning into a pop up, endless lists of stuff. i'm a crank i like simple, clean design
i like the idea of clickable tiles,but as to the rest we shall see
I am with you Bonkler
and it will rotate as well
the one change i asked for was the ablity to spin the grid but i imagine that's a coding nightmare. playing boggle that's a good way to rewire the brain, see things you didn't notice
That will not be good if you are having a glass of wine whilst playing babble !
Have we any say in clockwise or anti-clockwise?
he can run it a month and do an opinion poll if he likes on the changes
now the issue is the number of people who didn't like the brightness of the blue and yellow for the migraine suffers so he has changed it back to green with yellow tiles
let me check his demo on Facebook Haz
he should lighten that shade of green a tad
maybe you could have a profile where you could pick your own colors
someone rotates and wants a clue for the upper right letter ...
lime green on bright red!
i can see it with my eyes closed;)
I know, BR, there can be enough confusion already.
good idea kb
looks to be just clockwise on the demo
Good point BR. All i aked of Dr_g was an updated version fo Enable
Mom, your making me anxious....whats the surprise button?
You're very sparing, FM, I had a long list of requests.
FM have you eaten yet?
i i asked him on the clickable tiles,so blame me if you hate it;0
Nonetheless, it is Jamie's site and I will continue to enjoy the game and all the upbeat people.
don't know Soodle it just reads ... Top Secret Area (to be revealed later....)
ohhh a secret...
several asked for clickable tiles for use with the ipad
Well said BabbleRabble. I second that!!
prabably a vid clip area for when you get firebirds
When it ain't broke, don't try to fix it was my motto the first time the site changed so I wll wait to see what the new one is likebefore I judge it.
I wouldn't care if he made the colors silver and gold as long as we can still play. I would miss all of you and the game if it went away
I agree, BR, it doesn't hurt to shake things up a bit now and again.
((MOM))
the only change since I have been here is moving the tile points to the center from the corner
{{Crossy}}
freshening up a site will also draw new players
Jamie is the modern day Gary Moore: I've Got A Secret
im sure he loves us all,but he said new players have slowed to a trickle
Ooooh, Crossy. That will make us the 'pre-change-brigade'!
indeed soodles;))
do we all get a promotion??
lol
lol some of us are pre-pre-change brigade
Some of us are pre-change-pre-change i.e prehistoric.
LOL FM I was just going to say that
Yes, we can be the over the hill gang
All the oldies are thinking the same way.
Spooky Haz you and I!
what's the facebook name?
I would be happy to be a member of the over the hill gang :)
I must be forgetting something because Haz and FMitch you two and I started within days of one another
Bonkler it is Babble Community
:) cait!
ok thanks will go snoop
We may be over the hill, but at least we've climbed up ourselves and we have a good view over life.
you're welcome
Well said Haz
Amen Haz
There ya go, Haz
Mom, don't you remember when there were no tile stats and when the chat log was under the grid?
I recall there not being tile stats but I don't recall about the chat log. I didn't chat the first year I was here
And then Dr_G changed it and lots of people thought that the changes were terrible - but we got used to them.
me being shy and all :)
I wonder how many of us are left?
interesting. clickable letters don't do it for me but i can ignore those. of course ipad users should be punished for their temerity anyway. i like the spin the grid option
I didn't chat for weeks either.
all these new things are optional
It is surprising how many Babblers are still around from 2005
That's good - I like people to have the choice over what they want to do.
Haz, you got over your shyness quicker
nvermind the earlier ones like sprite and Ata
so,just enable what options you like
I know, Mom. I'm not a very chatty person in real life, somehow this is easier.
I think I was here in 2005
im a newbie just got my second year in
yep August
Hello, Kallia.
found the site via The Mail on Sunday
Hi Kallia
According to yr profile Kallia yo joined in Aug 2005
Ditto, Kallia.
Hello Haz and all
crossy we feel like you have always been here
Ditto Kallia
well I was AWOL for a while lol
lol
perhaps a very loud and obnoxious buzzer noise when words are either incorrect or not in the grid... nah.
Should our families sue the Mail on Sunday?
and we always have time for you dear (())
I well remember Ang and Lola
My sweetie found it in an USA today article and showed me
are they still together does anyone know?
I should sue my Mum - She has no idea how many work hours I have lost with this darn game.
just as well probably FM
No, they didn't stay together, I don't think.
Scarlet is not playing anymore
I know, I miss Scarlet, she was great fun and a dependable person.
ah well the first babble romance
I don't remember Scarlet
How did the Mail on Sunday manage to do a story on Babble? There is no obvious link to Diana/Islamic terrorists/gypsies/immigrants?
Helloooo Babblers :-)
did she have family in Australia?
She was here from maybe around 2006 -2008.
Beulah the Buzzer should suffice as the obnoxious noise.
darn phone
Hi Blue
ok, back
no idea Fish, but there it was
I needed a break from fighting with microsoft publisher, so here I yam :-)
hi blue
I don't know about Australian relatives (for Scarlet) 0 she was a retired sports editor, living in either North or South Carolina.
howdy blue
There used to be another couple on at that time they saw each other on weekends, does anyone remember them?
not who I was thinking of them
We have ben party to births, relationships, deaths marriages and illnesses. From time to time there have been disruptions but over the years Babble still is a great game and chat.
Another clue, caitlyn?
it is that, though I don't chat much
and katehudson who lived in England and moved to Canada and a fellow babbler moved with her. Rick or Ricky. Turns out she was Lindrickway's daughter
Ah, reminiscing about the Old Days, I see. Hello, All!
hi Cait & Kallia & Cross :-D long time no see! Hey, does anyone know when the new babble set up is going to take effect?
Sigh. Babble! Where love stories begin.....
I don;t think Lindrick plays any more wither
Hi Vic
Vicuna!
A distant memory Haz they just stick in my mind
Hello Vi!
(devoutly hoping no-one strikes up a chorus of 'Those were the days')
dunno blue, i've been tapping my fingers for a few days, and reminding myself that dr. g's doing his best!

Hi Vic
If two Babblers met and had kids, would the kids be Babblets?
Hi Vicuna!! Funny story... I made a friend online because I complimented the vicuna in a photo he had posted... he was impressed that I knew what it was, and I never would have if it wasn't for you!
lol soodles
Kay Sarah Sarah
My sweetie and my boys have strict instructions that when I pass away they are to get on the chat and notify you all
Hi Vi, Hi feather!
Featherbee, the preview photos on facebook are such a tease!
Good thinking, Mom.
Lol, BlueandAmy! So glad to have been educational! =D
No Haz keep thinking
Hi BlueandAmy and Feather
British or American?
American
Hi Mom :-)
I'm not on Facebook, so I am gleaning all these hints from the discussion about it...
And both babbled?
Jeepers, Mom, not for an awful long time, I hope!
And the sad thing is, I dreamt last night that the new screen was posted, and it had a brown background and dark olive green tiles. Very ugly! lol
http://twitter.com/babbleoverlord there you go vicuna,there are a couple of pics there
Yes they used to chat with each other every night and meet up at weekends
I guess whatever DrG does we will soon get used to it!
You aren't think of Anj and - gosh, I'm blanking...
I have to admit defeat, caitlyn, I can't think of them at all.
How many years of chat log archive will I have to go through?
No, not Ang and Lola VI
we've done them Vic lol
Vi I think she was Anj well done
Lola, VI.
I hope not too Soodle, but I wanted to make sure they knew to do that. Wouldn't want you all to think I left without saying good bye
be nice to have a blocker in the chat log for the arrival of the trolls.
No not Ang sorry
Anj was a guy
bonkler, we asked for death rays for the trolls, but I don't think he'll play...
Mid yo it was hard to identify people after the custard jaccuzi :)
Not them how many years does the chat log go back?
LOL FM
To the start.
Is he no longer a guy?
Years and years...
lol br
lol, FM.
end of 2003
Oh you sound like BR Haz
Thanks for the link, crosshair.
ah yes I guess he still is BR...in Babble land I medant :)
Lol BabbleRabble
eant even
We don't know, BabbleR, because we haven't seen him for so long! ;)
Right, to the kitchen I must go. Nice to catch up with you all and if anybody comes up with a name for caitlyn, it'll save me reading through hours of chat...
If I have a bored couple of days I will have to check back
Toodle-oo all!
If we started in 2005, how long was babble around before then. I know there are a couple of 2004 people. Peri sticks in my mind as one of them
what are you cooking HAz?
Goodbye, Haz!
Bye Haz see you tomorrow
Bye Haz.
toodles Haz (I really don't think you will go through all the chats, will you?)
I don't think it was that long before then
2003 I think Mom but you can check by looking back by cliking on the archive button.
"i think i have seen a few 2003 players
I'm wondering how I spent my time before I happened across Babble...
ooohhhh, gotta go see be back in a bit
a lot longer than I thought then
The very first grid: September 30, 2003
Later {{{Mom}}}
gd evening everybody!
Bye Mom
lol soddles,whenever babble is down,i do not know what to do
Hi ruby!
Bye, Mom.
Oh everyone ...... Dr_ God just posted on facebook a few minutes ago ..... an orange theme
{{{Ruby}}}
hello ruby
There was a big influx of UK Babblers in August 2005 due to a mention in a UK Newspaper.
Hello, Ruby.
i went back through the archives to my babble birthdate...my first post that day was that it was almost midnight my time, and i thought i only had 10 minutes left to finish the grid! i actually had another hour and 10.
I don't thinkt hat influx was confined to the UK. That's when I found out about it, too, due to an article somewhere that my husband saw.
I have to go and cook some supper, see you tomorrow take care all
Hi Ruby
Afternoon all. Hmm. Babble media in the UK. That doesn't explain the riff raff from Canada...
pardon?
bye bye Caitlyn
LOL
Hi Judi
Goodbye, caitlyn!
Oh, so nice to see my babblefriends!
lol. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention, Crossy. ;-))
Byee Cait.
Hello again...
i found it by using a program called stumble upon
Tour de France the past few days and boy, are my legs tired!!
Hi Jellen :-D
wb jellen
so what is the extra stuff on the tile stats?
hello jellen!
Hi Jellen
Gosh, ruby, can't you get a good enough view on the telly, but you have to run after them to watch?
i think i found it with stumbleupon too
I must be off so Happy Babbling and *poof*
Hello, Jellen.
I found only 64 words this AM and hope to get a few more
Profile updated...
Farewell, FM, dear!
Bye FM. See you soon.
bye FM :-)
Bye FMitch
hahah vicuna! Last year it came past my house, but I still watched it on TV as it goes too fast to see anything and I don't like crowds
bye FM
Oh, hang in there, Jellen! At least you know they're really trying to make sure they do everything right for Tim.
or is it just another way of expressing the 0/9?
bye FM ((XX))
seems to take a lot more space if that's the case
Don't feel bad, Ruby. Hubby and I watched Fireworks on TV on July 4th. Damn apathetic Americans.
Oh Jellen... I know I haven't been around for a while, but I just read your profile... I'm so sorry about Tim's health! I'm sending you & him positive mental vibes (which I guess is my way of praying...?)
on tv, you get hte commentary and can know a lot more about what's going on than when you're right there, i bet!
Don't believe Ruby! I saw her on the TV wearing a yellow jersey.......
Thanks
redug
Oops. Apologies and much shame...
i'm following it on tv, but also reading text commentary during the day when it's live. my boys are too noisy to be able to watch it during the day!
Didn't take it anyway.
Vicuna...real words, okay?
Enable's re choice is so arbitrary.
an actual penalty box that parks folk for five minutes when they chog a word would be fun
Five minutes is rather extreme, Bonkler. Although, come to think of it, we've never set an exact penalty time. I guess you just stay in until you've et your fill of PB goodies.
K I gotta git back to work.... talk to you all lata :-)
byeee
Bye, BlueAndAmy!
Bye, Blue. Be well
last year, when the Tour went past, I put signs up on the hedge and made a big bicycle on the grass, figuring they'd show it when they flew over in the helicopter. It was, after all, the time trial around "our" lake. Nada! I was so disappointed
I put and American flag and I (heart JA JA and Lance!"
for the tour should be a great big syringe
no no, bonk!!!
not my Lance
ok, just checked on my start date and these people played (names I recognize): Torgone, Une, Speedfreak, Gail, smithchick, evanadine, marigold, pav3, jessmom, amelu, aloy, Pam, peri, cherrypop, stevedallas, sprite, espiritjean
Perhaps if you danced naked and blew bubbles, ruby?
lol Judi
oh my God, it would break the tellie!
lance is implicated by some pretty credible folk as having been a doper and some speculate his cancer was a direct result
Good effort, though, ruby. =)
every year, there'ws at least one naked guy running along side during a mountain stage
You just have to blow a lot of bubbles, if you feel that way, ruby!
Hello Everybody. How are you all today?
Hello, Nef!
I don't believe it; Ffffloyd Landis is a dope (speaking of dope)
Hi, Nef!
{{Nef}} hello. I'm dandy, how are you?
hi nef!
i don't believe it either. landis has sour grapes.
{{Jellen}} read your profile ... {{hugs to Tim}} as well
{{{MOM}}}
Hi, Jellen; how is Tim? (I did read your profile)
yup, featherbee
after being tested for so many tours, and so many years, if he truly was doing it, they'd have caught it.
Snoring away right now...
for sure
Hi Vicuna, Mom, ruby, Feather
are you sleeping and eating enough, Jellen?\
Jellen - is hubby still in hospital?
Yes, ruby
Yes, Judi...should be home tomorrow...
I think I will go and see if a nap is in order. {{Hugs}} to all of you.
you can tell that we're all thinking about you, jellen!!
armstrong strikes me as a douche but who knows. at that level there are millions of dollars at stake and people do a lot of shifty things and others can be bought. landis isn't alone in his allegations
Jellen, do take care of yourself right now. *I* always forget to when DH is ill; then I stress eat and get sick
lol binkler
Fingers and toes crossed for you, Jellen. I must be off to do some more real work. Borrrrrring.... *POOF*
goodbye, Mom and Judi.
bye judi
and bye Mom
Afternoon babblers!!
(Can't keep up with chog and find words right now)
Hi red!
Hello, redturtle.
just getting started here...
and people aren't alone that think elvis is still alive. sorry, i just have trouble buying the story from landis. and there have been people that have believed he is for a while, yes. but believing without proof doesn't mean he did. i agree, doesn't mean he didn't, but i choose to believe he didn't, based on the fact that he's not been yanked from the races.
hello red! binkie, I think anybody who has had cancer wouldn't take illegal drugs and, BTW, watch your language
me too, red. I have all of 8 words so far! :-/
lol, ok, going off my soapbox now! sorry folks.
hahah, feather!
How is fedex not an official verb yet?
beats a hasty retreat back into the grid.
np, feather
hello tom
crunt
gotta go shower anyway. bbl!
whoops
but first says to tom, you cannot enter Faxed into the grid, even, so Fedex!
rolo, it's the same way that "cath" isn't a word
not even a word, but if there are goodies in the PB.....
*wandering off to other hobbies for a bit... waves on the way out*
Bye, Vi
my understanding was that the drugs preceded the cancer. i don't really care one way or the other. it isn't as though he does or did anything important. he rode a bicycle. but what did anyone have to gain by making the allegation, including friends, other racers, teammates etc? whereas he has a lot to protect. the whole sport is dirty. much dirtier than my choice of words, which i'll stand by.
bye vye!
oooh treat in the grid a fu5! yummy.
gd night everybody! {{jellen}}
G'night, ruby
Nite nite, {{{Rubes}}}}
*poof*
feather, did you reach your goal? If so, it will be interesting to see how the students receive the changes.

Hi again, Babblers. Resting from doing yard work in the heat. Came inside and almost puked--needed fluids and to cool off!
Scrabs is lurking....but I have to ROFL - she entered word for the grid in a chat box on FB! Put her in the pB!
she is here!
Hi SG! We are chatting here and FB at the same time!
*passes Scrabs cool glass of juice and water*
I am getting off of this pc for a while...I am still laughing at your fox paw
I drank a quart of water + had lunch.
What fox paw?
Oh, faux pas? LOL
fox paw = faux pas?
Phantom = antenna
BR, if you're still here, yes, I reached my goal. I think they'll be well received, because I had one from a garage sale in the classroom, and they loved it. Won't get them till Sept.
That's a geat project for your students, Feather!!
evening all
hi Katie
gotta go do the annual clothing change out. nick's getting too big for his 2T shirts, pulled the 3T stuff down from the attic last night.
Enjoy, Feather.
evening everyone, hope this isn't the second time I said it - computer was in a sulk
Hello again, keep wandering off...
It is the 2nd time, but that's ok.
Hi J--any news?
hi jell, things improving at all?
ahhhhhhhh
weiik--I at first thought you were Babbler "welki"
Waiting on MRI results...they're keeping us until tomorrow...
Oh now up to date I won't keep saying hello I promise
no sorry for the confusion scrab, when choosing my online name, I hit the wrong key as usual, and it stuck ...
MRI of what part of body?
back
E-mail Dr God (site administrator) and he can change your screenname.
jell, if the techs did not say anything right away, sometimes that is good news, they see as much as the radiologists do
Oh, because of spine pain.
yes he changed mine for me - lovely man!
Yes, also a requirement for the clinical trial
well, weiik isnt' quite that bad, I've had it for awhile, doubt I'd change it now, am somewhat of a creature of habit, I do not like change much
What does Tim do to stay distracted/busy?
How long have you been here in Babble Land, weiik?
Sleep, right now
sleep is the best thing to heal the body ..
That's good. It means he is comfortable at least.
Well, I passed halfway so at 75/64 I shall go for a bike ride. I must retrieve mail from mail ctr and may not go much further due to 89 degrees!
These drugs really knock him out...
Yes, those 2 will do that.
Take care in the heat, Scrabbs
scrab, 89? It is 100 here in philly
scrabs it is one hundred three today
Ughhhh, Owl + weiik!
72 r u in philly or alumni

hi all! 95 here
any idea of how long tim will be in for Jellen?
Hi everyone!
checking in at a cool 87 degrees in Florida it just rained...
hi red, staying cool today, seems to be the topic now
both weiil
Plan to be outta here tomorrow!
Hi, red!
I pushed myself too far and too long doing yard work--came in and almost puked. Lunch + water have helped. I will bike until I cannot cope, then come home shower, and go to work--doing evening hours tonight.
I'm feeling good, but sleepy for some reason.
Hi Red!
Hi Scrabbler, you are at least off call?
currently 101in central park looking for 103
en ate
hope is going your way Jell for a quick recovery
oops!
i'm worn out brainwise today, 14 difficult phone calls made, it was either play babble or lock myself in a very dark room
Yes, that was a long haul. weekend call = Fri 5 pm-Mon 8 am. They are less frequent that way but sucky.
jell, i think you deserve a pass
((Katie))
OK, time to fill my hydration pack with ice + water. Bye.
hi, babblers - hi scrabs
take it easy today - good day to stay indoors and babble
What, and miss the pb goodies??
hi jbv.
Hi, JBV
glad to here you are g oing home hospital is no fun. it is soooooooo hot in this one
Are you with your dad, TO?
yes.
((TO))
it is ok prob needs more help when he comes home
How is he? May I ask what is wrong?
he hurt his back and cannot tolerate the pain which makes his heart race or the pain meds
just hit the re's *sigh*
Oh TO hope he recovers soon, my thoughts are with both him and Tim
Oh, dear...I hope they can find some meds he can tolerate!
and you both as well :-)
Katie, ur right, most forget the people waiting at the side of the patient, been there with another earlier this year, can be very trying
TO & Jellen you are both in my thoughts!!!!
I know what you mean weiik, I think people underestimate how much it can take it out of you when you are the visitor not the patient
yay, home from work early. boss was making me crazy today
it is hard, I've had friends whom were nurses and they got attached to patients and took it hard when things did not work in their favour
I've been there with my mother and sister! Keep hope!
yeah good (for the home early not the annoying boss)
will be ok, needs pt not drugs, that is the first resort for him thought th eprotocol is the first generally they drug you up.cheaper that way but can be deadly when sonmeone is old and already o meds
:)
went through three meds either did not work or knocked him out or made him sick
ty for good wished good luck jellen.
du--
When you change or add a drug to an elderly person, it can really take a toll. We had to watch that with my mother constantly. The DRs would try to make changes and we had to question everything. Most appreciated it.
Of course, TO!
??
Get off you du**, sammysmom!
*your
wait, is my dad here???
thanks jellen and o should , but i m too damned hot!!
Lol, GE
thanks jell .. off to work outside .. poof
Bye, weiik
Jellen, how is your husband today?
He is resting comfortably...
Had a test...if all's okay, we'll be home tomorrow
Hope everything goes wll, and also for TO's husband. Time for a cuppa. 'bye y'all.
It's TO's dad...
Bye, Christine
Hello everyone. My thoughts are with those of you with loved ones who are not well. It is very rough
hey jellen, how did you and tim get together?
IOops - the prayers and wishes are still coming your way.
We met on the Internet!
hubby and I met on the internet :-)
It was a dating site, plentyoffish.com...
we met on match.com
I saw his picture and read his profile, noticed he was online, and used the chat function to meet him!
but if we had one with such a cool name I would have joined plentyoffish
Cool, Katie!
how long have you been together?
A little over 2 years
4 years on the 22nd of this month I replied to Bry because he had a picture of our eldest cat on his profile page
when you use dating sites like that can you say you just want people in your area?
Yes...
it would be a shame to meet your perfect mate but they live elsewhere
you can on match, i had a 50 mile radius but bry lived 90 miles away. He was sent a 'could this be the one' email by the site otherwise I wouldn't have met him
aww cute Katie
within 6 months we were engaged and bought a house in the middle
this is why I have a 62 mile drive to work and not a 2 mile one lol
oh well. i guess we all make compromises
when I lived in Corby I worked in MK 45 miles away, now I live in tamworth I work in Corby - the irony isn't lost on me
lol
Tim and I commute dated...he lived 30 miles away
Then he moved in with me...
much shorter commute then
Popped in, on break again, I love stories like this! Katie, that's so amazing!
oops, though...looks like I killed it.
i don't think i know anyone who has succesfully internet dated until you two
but maybe i just haven't heard their stories yet
how's work tonite NB?
Not bad, Good :) it's quiet at least, so I have a chance to chat with some of the punters. But, I can't resist a good love story!
quiet means less crazy but does that also mean less tips?
this time of day is usually pretty quiet in the chog
hi. i took a nap, and spent some time cleaning one of my fans.
***snoggles NB as i am on my way out the door***
ty NB, I had given up on thinking I would meet someone who would make me so happy and was happy single and it happened
being at one with singleness helps in finding someone, in my experience, katie
It does, Good, but it's nice to be able to talk to people...time flies when you can have fun ;)
LOL Eva. Glad you could make the time ;)
well it worked for me dc :-)
evening all - interesting katie - I meet my hubby thru the newspaper dating columns - didnt have the internet then
crazy day, first day back after a long weekend and all. :)
and for me Katie and Seain
anywho, just wanted to pop in and smooch as needed. :)
be well, EvaNadine
cya eva
Well lovely to see you as ever, Eva :)
hi, kazzer
I was surprised how many people on the babble community on facebook I didn't know as I have been playing for 4 1/2 years but it shows how we play at the same time and meet the same people
a dear friend of mine met her hubby through an add in a paper, too.
well there you go, internet or newspaper dating has worked for this chog
i'm on FB because of Babble
it was quite expensive and you do meet some people you wish you hadnt but i did it all in a safe place
talk to you tomorrow, i hope, my dear. :)
another friend met her hubby online in 1989 - we all thought she was cray back then LOL
I used to play on fairyland but got fed up as they kept changing it all the time now quite addicted to treasure quest
it's funny - I met Leo when he literally fell on top of me on the tube, then dated long-distance. London to Brighton. I spent so many weekends in London, I don't think my friends were sure what I looked like.
Hopefully I'll catch you, Eva! Working funny (long) hours at the moment, so fingers crossed..
Hubby cost me £60 as I joined for six months (met him within 2 weeks). I looked at an 'introduction' service but that cost £800 and I decided that for that sort of money I could go on holiday lol
mine cost me £196 in phone bills
plentyoffish.com is free :-)
okcupid.com is free, too
Oh the phone bill was shocking the first 7 months until we moved in
oh you got a bargin Jellen
he was worth every penny - been married for 11 years now
Wonder what mine cost me in train tickets...
no no katie - that was the phone bill just to get him - free to join but £1 per minute to pick up the messages
I project managed at work at the time and hubby was known as 'headroom' man for a long time as my sidekick at work said I still had £730 in my budget. Bry & I went on holiday and it paid my share lol
OMG Kazzer, I would be annoyed if I paid £1 per minute to pick up a message from someone I didn't like, although when you meet the right one it would be a bargain
i met some really strange men and one message was from a cross dresser and though i am quite open minded that was a bit of a shock
If anyone would like to casually throw re clues into the chat I'd appreciate it...
re5 - to give food to again
re6 - double the consonant in that re5
seek re5; re6 past of that
Thanks, dc
ty dc
re5 r shoes; they are re6
I had an email from an 18 year old wanting to gain experience from an older woman before he went to Uni (I was 38) I wasn't shocked by what he wanted but his spelling and grammer were awful, I was surprised he was accepted on the course
re5 the dress/jacket - it hangs wrong

i am known to randomly clue sometimes, though :)
Seek re5...hmmm...

I am of the opinion that it WILL go well, Jellen *stern mama look at doctors*
has anyone heard from river? I have been thinking about her son all day...
was today her son's surgery?
Argh! Feel like going out shopping (the plus side of staying another day), but I want to hear test results as soon as they are available...
////
yes peri, I think so. I'll check my calendar to be sure.
yep. today.
I think you are right, peri
dr_god just confirmed - there will be different colored themes to choose from :)
shopping good, test results, good... when are they due? any chance to go both?
very cool, seain!
Yes, will just have to wait, although I feel antsy now...
thane
oops
Thanks, dc...

Thanks, dc
G'night, Kazzer
high of 99F/37C today here
102F/39C downtown, though.
why isn't runneth a word, as in "my cup runneth over"?
why doeth thou question the wisdom of ENABLE?
i wonder why it takes doth/doeth but not other forms, too.
touche
here it is 91f/33c
too darn hot
i figured it was nasty in Canada, as it's been horrific here
are yall keeping cool, crossy?
104 here today...sizzling
we do not see many days over 90,very rare for us
yup,it is nice in the house lots of shade and fans going
over 90 is fairly common here through much of Summer.
glad to hear crossy. Many up that far North die in heat, as it's rare and lots don't have AC
indeed dc,the few times it has gone over 100 many have had to go to the hospital
we do not do well in the heat it is true
malls, cinemas and what are your friend in weather like this.
and yet i can stand out in minus 30 all day in a blizzard hehe
:)
it's much easier to keep warm than to stay cool.
the weather breaks for us starting tomorrow
74 f and sunny for wed
wow, that's our low this time of year
many a day, at least
100 high 80 low forecast for Wed here
i could not do it every day
i would perish
Thursday calling for low 90s :)
insane
rest of our week is just nice in the 70,s
104 again tomorrow dc, sounds like a pool day
everything is dying here, no rain for quite sometime, grass is brown and crunchy
yep, things are dry here, too. dry enough that the thunderstorm the other day is still puddled on the ground
all the crops are withering up, praying for rain soon
rain would be nice, not least for the crops, agreed
yes, I look forward to sweet corn and tomatos each summer
Just finished reading the likely side effects of the drugs in Tim's clinical trial...egads!
yes, nothing like fresh tomatos and corn kernels tossed with some spaghetti :D
jellen, side effect notices are uber-comprehensive. likelihood of any side effect is reasonably low
ummm, that sounds great dc...
search for corn and tomato pasta - i'm sure you'll find lots of recipes
jellen, is the drug company sponsoring this?
ty...will do...for now am going to cut up a watermelon...bbl
njoy, sea
back again :-)
No...the National Cancer Institute...don't know who funds them, though...
the National Cancer Institute is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
i've a friend that got great help from a clinical trial at the National Institute of Mental Health (of Mrs Frisby and the rats of NIMH fame)
i hope this trial does as well for Tim.
Yes, just figured that out...

Hi everyone.
wb, Mom
I am so excited, just checked Facebook and the clue list is up that Dr_God was talking about.
Hi {{Jellen}}
dashes off to facebook
for me to be able to see it up close I had to right click my mouse and select open in new window
hmmm that will take some getting used to
don't have to use it if you don't want to
i've only been using expert a month lol
neat, a clue with the help button
I am getting so anxious
what's the link to see the prototype of the new site?
Ohh there is something new on Facebook??
it is under babble community in facebook Hurshy
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid= 106468556072681
yup Red and hello
and Hi Hurshy
Hello hurshy
http://tinyurl.com/2ulehpf
I don't care what colors he makes it, what bells and whistles he adds, does what ever he needs to do to keep afloat as long as babble stays around.
As I said earlier I would miss all of you and babble if it were to go away
seems we'll have choice of color, Mom, based on comments on the orange picture
So would I Mom
{{Katie}}
i don't see anything about the chat
heck just make it black and white and be done with it. :)
i hope he adds back the button
not the chat, Hurshy, the clues box
what button is that?
howdy howdy howdy
http://tinyurl.com/24rvyha has the part about the chat/clues
i know, but i WANT to see what he's doing with the chat
ah thanks dc
Good Enough, hello!!!!
oh, he's not shown the chat stuff yet
wb, GE
hi mom:)
what did he say he was going to do to the chat?
i don't think he HAS said
i just want the add chat button back
it will be there he assured us. There is something to the left of the clue box about adding a cake for someone birthday. Part of it was cut off
I dont think I was around when there was an add chat button.
he's said nothing of chat, except that there will be an auto-cluing feature
never saw an add chat button.
I didn't chat the first year I played so I am not familiar with that
auto clue? how?
as soon as this version started was when we started to have people accidentally entering words all the time. he said it would stop when people got used to the new format but it did NOT!
Red are you on FB?
I am , I just never really look at the page.
red, check the last tinyurl i posted
I mean, I look at my page, but not at the babble page.
babble community
type that in the search line in FB
i started playing when this version came up. so i never saw the prior one.
5 year anniversary coming up Aug. 1 for me. Wow, where has the time gone
wish i knew about this when i was a stay at home mom
Oh DC we only joined 2 days apart :-)
would have saved my sanity many days
I played for a bit before I became pro
oh and fireworks
the only change I remember is where he had to change the point values on the tiles because of Scrabble
oh not me Katie, I was hooked from day one. Day 2 I went pro. Just was to shy to chat
congrats Katie
ty sorry to rush off but I'm shattered, see you all tomorrow x
I just wanted to pass along the latest on the new, improved, more colorful Babble :-)
{{Hugs}} to all of you.
mm form all the early pics i am seeing,it looks like poor lickety is out of a job;/
bye Katie
Hooray and bye, Katie!!!
g'night katie
oh, congrats, too, katie :)
I think Lickety has a real job and started doing this to help MrsP out
when it says "member since" is that when we joined or when we went pro?
I played for a long time the finally realized how little the cost was...
lickety has provided a great service from the kindness of his heart for years no.
when we went pro, i think, hurshy, but am not certain
my expert is from April of 2008
(it's from when we joined)
oh, so when we first signed up.
yes i dont think likety will mind being out of that job,...
{{Ata}} how are you doing?
i went pro on my 8th day - i wanted my stats ack
back
I think he plate gets pretty full some days.
Hi, Ata

hi and bye pini
We should start World War III, but instead of fighting we'll have everyone play Babble. After we've done that for a bit and had a chat about things we can then end the war, and have a ticker-tape parade for Babble...but the bits of tape would have to be shaped like letters. I hope they don't spell out 'spank' on the windscreen of the pink cadillac...
that's the funniest thing i've heard all day! bravo joca
I thankyowwww
LMAO

typo for the win! just misentered something, and got a word! LOVE that!
i was able to keep the house pretty bearable for most of the day. was around 6 or 7 that it got icky in here, but then it was only a few hours until i could open up windows and doors again!
i think, in those cases, my fingers are smarter than my brain, trif
cooled it off with fans and a/c overnight, windows and doors open. then buttoned up everything, draped windows where the sun poured in, had the a/c running with fans running a relay moving the air down the hall from the bedrooms to the rest of the house!
their is no way to cool this house. even the air does not work

jess do you know anything about raw food diete for cats?
no no no - it is john
they're stinky and hard to do well, just like any other home-cooked diet.
unless you're comfortable feeding whole prey, of course.
I know you can buy some in the specialty pet food stores.
but if you are meticulous, you can do a balanced home-cooked diet.
my cat has had a UTI for over a year, she would not take the baytril
cats eat sushi?
ah. i am always nervous buying raw stuff because i'm paranoid and worry about contamination.
have her on a homeopathic remedy for almost two weeks which seems to be working
ugh.. giving pills to cats is impossible
depends on the cat. i generally prefer pills over liquid for a lot of cats, but i'm practiced at it and quick.
yes it is ruru, I grind them up and mix with food but doesnt work
i say just shoot em
I'm with you Jes.. too much risk of salmonella
cats eat rodents and other things raw, why not sushi?
Oh, I missed mother. hello everyone else!
she is also pooping outside the box in the living room and the diring room and it is not my house
baytril is not my first choice for urinary tract infections. i'm going to assume that you've tried other antibiotics and cultured the urine?
hi stiddy!
the wasabi doesn't agree with them lbd
I'm with K on this one ..
hey stid
cats eat FRESH raw rodents. not chicken and stuff chopped and mixed from dozens of farms and then backed and shipped.
no two vets have given her baytril, is there another I can try, the last vet did a urinalysis but I don't think he did a culture too
BGH is in my corner tonight... whee!
too bad for them! love wasabi! i have a great dressing that is wasabi and balsamic vinegar! yummm
and a whole prey diet is fine. i'm totally okay with telling someone to feed the cat 4 mice a day, and throw a few chicks in once in a while, but how many people do you know that are going to do that?
*brown nose BGH*
wasabi cream.... mmmmm
basil cream....mmmmmm
any cream..... mmmmm
ice cream!
if she's really had an infection for a year, you probably should request blood work to rule out a kidney thing, and consider x-rays and/or ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys, and have them send urine in for a culture when she's not on antibiotics.
I SCREAM!
ice cream! that's one i can follow! mmmmmm!
peri it is worth mentioning we were in a totally wacko mood before you came in. sorry to hear about your kitty's troubles
if baytril is the only antibiotic they've tried, ask about trying a different one (we usually start with one of the 'cillins for most utis)
ICE CREAM!!!
what about cephalexin??
can anyone make a bingo from plowiad?
better not be our game!
...and no, i don't think so.
and the boys are dragging me off now.... may be back later. ceph is probably okay, but doesn't concentrate in the urine the way 'cillins do. but really--if it's that long term, consider a culture and sensitivity.
or what?
ty jess,
ty jess, appreciate
later jes.
good advice jes
bye, Jes
bye for now
ce7?
or...or.....i'll order rocko the raccoon to visit you tonight!

I found a melanoma chat room...I'm half there, too...
yeah invest in stuff, ruru, the bottom of your mattress doesn't collect interest
good for you Jellen. get support from every source you can.
Test results were not available today...augh!!

Must wait around tomorrow until doctor gets results...
he's here all week, folks...
who?
what's on second?

Tests results were probably delayed because of the holiday, Jellen. Sad excuse but more than likely the cause.

Goodbye Magyk! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
night minveryork
I'm knitting my first lace piece! It's a gorgeous scarf pattern.
night Min!
I'd probably get more knitting done if I weren't on Ravelry all the time!
I just got a mixed lace pattern of the net. I can't wait to try it!
I found a bunch of scarf patterns I want to try, plus some purse patterns to felt
I'm still learning... but I completed my first big piece last month. A blanket! I have way way way too many patterns I want to try.
Me too!
I just looked at your profile...I'm from Indiana too
Closer to the Muncie area...although I just moved here from Carmel
A great knitting shop in indy is Mass Ave Knit. They have just about any yarn you could want and offer wonderful classes
Where in Indy?
Near Fountain Square
It's easy to get to from 65
Nifty!! There aren't very many stores around here for yarn...not a big selection anyway! Although I've been banned from buying more yarn until I use some of what I have...
lol!!! me to but I usually don't follow non- self imposed bans :)
What they don't know can't hurt them
Well I usually work in an elementary school but with summer here I haven't found a job yet so money is a bit tight.
I save a few dollars here and there when I want some nice yarn
Working in the school systems is difficult with the cuts statewide
no kidding...
I'm lucky that I have been teaching long enough to keep my job. Hubby is a carpenter and his company hasn't had work since Nov. 08
well Lu I hope I get to talk to you tomorrow in the chog! But I'd better get some sleep for tonight.
Good night
Night Lu!!
I'm out of here too. Bye all!
