grem you done yet?

12:04 am

same here, melon! ^5

12:05 am

here too!

12:05 am

View along the Bund (rhymes with fund) -- the pointed roof was called the Cathay Hotel, the one before it was called the Palace Hotel, the street between them was Nanking Road.

12:05 am

phant lysosome

12:06 am

i have left column and bottom row grey

12:06 am

The Shanghai of today is across the Whangpoo River (old spelling) in what was just a bunch of shacks called Pootung.

12:06 am

interesting, jilli :)

12:07 am

got the i !!

12:07 am

So I have 2 words -- spent too much time enjoying memories, sigh!

12:08 am

well done, gadget

12:08 am

the memories are worth it :)

12:08 am

memories are important!

12:09 am

i have 18

12:09 am

not many of us left now with those memories

12:09 am

and the best ones are worth thinking about every now and then!

12:09 am

typical me. fyound the yl5, and missed the root LOL

12:09 am

thanks for the YL

12:09 am

ty dc for theyl

12:09 am

hey all! flippety flip!

12:09 am

thx for the yl's

12:10 am

hi, stid

12:10 am

hi stid!

12:10 am

grem initially called it :)

12:10 am

real vowel shortage here, whoof!

12:10 am

*waves to gremlinn*

12:10 am

and the oi7

12:10 am

sorry, grem, didn't see it, was in S'hai, lol!

12:11 am

fireworks

12:11 am

congrats, gremlinn

12:11 am

YAY gremlinn!!!

12:11 am

congrats, grem

12:11 am

Grats, grem!!!

12:11 am

seriously?!

12:12 am

YAY grem!!!

12:12 am

knew all the words, no morewords needed

12:12 am

dang, boy!

12:12 am

GADGET!!!! (((many hugs)))

12:12 am

brb - taking koda out

12:12 am

grem! 11 minutes! Whoo HOo!!!!

12:12 am

hi stid!

12:12 am

wow, stid, the little one looks a lot like his dad

12:12 am

use that oi7 in a sentence recently did you?

12:13 am

:-D that's the elder stidkid! and yes, he does.

12:13 am

I look for it when I see le5, because it's contained within oi7 reversed

12:13 am

alternate spelling would be an oe7, changing just that second letter

12:13 am

new wond to me, ty grem

12:14 am

*trying to think through gremlinn's logic*

12:14 am

If there were a P here, a phant would be pygmy

12:14 am

that makes a lot of sense grem!

12:14 am

stid: I remember words together when one's contained within the reverse of another, like if I find "united", I look for "detinue"

12:15 am

Grems' logic is like Stephen Wright's (sp?)

12:15 am

sweet! that takes a really good memory

12:15 am

that makes sense, just a VERY different way of seeing the patterns. I envy you that skill.

12:15 am

when I see "united" I see "untied"

12:15 am

fygmy: a small mediterranean fruit?

12:15 am

or more often just words that *almost* have that pattern like the pair "antelope" and "polenta"

12:16 am

lol. stid!

12:16 am

and it worked... once you explained it I "saw" the word!!! 7 greyed!

12:16 am

so, how did you call up the oi7/32?

12:16 am

from seeing le5

12:17 am

hello everyone late flip for another dinky one

12:17 am

howdy, west

12:17 am

*wonders if grilled antelope would taste good with polenta*

12:17 am

hi west

12:17 am

oh, I see -- or better: I don't see...

12:17 am

sounds good to me stid!

12:17 am

12:18 am

12:18 am

I didn't even change my icon

12:18 am

Oh, I see now, west -- great one!

12:19 am

12:24 am

We did however go to see the Yuyuan Garden in shanghai and the "Garden of the Master of Nets" in Suzhou -- both very beautiful. Came home with a silk duvet from the silk factory in Sushou.

12:29 am

*poof* <-- so glad to be able to write that again!

12:29 am

be well, stid

12:29 am

roly-poly I thought...

12:29 am

bye stid (when is this schooling going to end for stid?)

12:29 am

sounds like a very lovely trip, nan

12:30 am

nbt

12:30 am

oops no

12:30 am

I wonder of Yuyuan Garden is what used to be Jessfield Park, near where our apartment house was on Yu Yuen Road where we lived until I was 8.

12:30 am

okay now nbt

12:30 am

it was indeed Seain -- most amazing was that we travelled 1100 miles up the Yangtze and other than in the gorges, the river never narrowed appreciably

12:31 am

I will post a photo of it tomorrow jill

12:31 am

It's one of the World's great rivers for a reason :)

12:31 am

You see, all the names of places I knew have changed. It's so sad.

12:32 am

What is my old school now, I wonder. And the Cathedral?

12:32 am

back (for a few more)

12:32 am

we didn't see a cathedral

12:32 am

the cathedral is still there, and still in use, my friend tells me, assuming you mean the Roman Catholic one

12:32 am

it's not far from the Shul and Synagogue

12:33 am

It was a beautiful building -- not huge though.

12:33 am

I mean the Church of England one, dc.

12:34 am

St Ignatius?

12:35 am

on Puxi Rd? (pooshee as pronounced)

12:35 am

Our last home was at 433 Avenue Haig, next to the Cathedral Girls' School. It was an apartment house and ours was on the 5th floor.

12:35 am

http://tinyurl.com/2ckyj66 indicates it's there and in use

12:36 am

Not St Ignatius -- unless it's been taken over by the RCs. I don't remember thename of the street.

12:36 am

ah, no Holy Trinity is the Anglican one

12:36 am

it's being rebuilt, as of 2006

12:37 am

That sounds more like it.

12:38 am

recent news about it : http://tinyurl.com/383bllv

12:38 am

what does the 7 start with?

12:39 am

oe7

12:39 am

hmmm

12:39 am

it's oi7

12:40 am

still hmmmmm

12:40 am

oh, right, listen to Mi

12:40 am

dc, I just googled the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Shanghai, and instantly remembered the building. We didn't go habitually but I have an old photo of me as a Brownie getting ready fora parade with that building in the background

12:41 am

oe8 - not in this grid, is the same word, though.

12:41 am

Just finished reading about the cathedral and saw J.G. Ballard's name there -- one of my classmates at the equivalent girls' school had a crush on him. Her name was Reginette Felgate and I didn't like her!

12:44 am

or possibly ex-wife-to-be

12:44 am

12:51 am

Oh cute way of putting it, flosey :)

12:51 am

I've enjoyed it, too! :)

12:53 am

12:54 am

she'd be about 85 now

12:54 am

and even meaner lol

12:54 am

I strive to be among the speed demons; however, I don't believe it will happen anytime soon! :)

12:55 am

monkeys did a lot of work tonight

12:55 am

pini I enjoy relaxing with this game if I finished too soon I'd have to do things

12:55 am

I have no interest in being a speed demon, missing the fun of the chat

12:56 am

smart thinking, west!

12:56 am

and what jilli said too

12:56 am

my monkeys are finding (un)words just by hitting random keys!

12:56 am

Karlheinz Stockhausen wrote a composition about yl4

12:56 am

ah, yes, another good point, jilli!

12:56 am

Jill -- does the new icon look familiar?

12:56 am

you know so much doug

12:57 am

I had a record of it many years ago

12:58 am

No, nan -- unless it's an addition to Jessfield Park. But I think I can find the new name for our park -- just a minute...

12:58 am

I confess I've never heard of him was he a pianist?

12:59 am

Jillibus - that name struck a chord, so I googled it. There's a photo of your friend ...

1:00 am

that is too funny Christine

1:00 am

Zhongshan Park is the new name for Jessfield. Did you get to see it, nan?

1:01 am

J.G. Ballard, Christine? I didn't know him, but he's a well-known author now and wrote the book the movie Empire of the Sun was made from.

1:02 am

ah thought you meant Reginette

1:02 am

I love that movie!!!! One of my favorites!

1:02 am

(humming tune now)

1:02 am

No, Jillibus - a photo of Reginette, 1945.

1:03 am

Probably not, Jill -- I think it was a private garden belonging to some nobleman -- probably was not open to the public when you were there. We were only in Shanghai for 2 days -- did a tour of Old Shanghai, Yuyuan Garden, the Bund, Shanghai Museum and a silk carpet workshop.

1:03 am

oh so you did mean her

1:03 am

Really! I'll have to look.

1:03 am

The third day we wnt to Sushou then on to Nanjing where we boarded our ship.

1:04 am

The name Reginette seemed familiar, not the surname. But I doubt it is the same person.

1:04 am

Stockhausen was a prolific German composer of the 20th century. I saw him conduct one of his compositions called Sirius, a composition commissioned for the US Bicentennial

1:05 am

Off to catch some zzz's -- still trying to get back on the NA time clock

1:05 am

I will look him up doug thanks

good night nan happy dreams and welcome back

1:06 am

night nan

1:06 am

There's a second entry for your friend, but it's in Chinese, so --

1:08 am

Christine, there can't be two Reginette Felgates in China and I'm sure that's her in the picture although I wouldn't have recognised her! I last saw her in 1939 and the pic was in 1945. Wow! The connections we make via Babble!!!

1:08 am

British songbird Di4 is in the grid, didn't expect her to be a word. This grid is a lot like yesterday's grid...

1:08 am

beautiful photo, ruru -- what is it?

1:10 am

I think it is an Ansel Adams

1:11 am

oh, yes....very pretty!

1:11 am

black and white with half dome...good odds

1:12 am

but doesn't really have his flavor... hmmm...

1:12 am

yup. it's him.

1:12 am

1:14 am

1:14 am

night m9

1:16 am

yeah Pini.. it's Cid Charrise. perhaps *** Viscious would be a better clue!LOL

1:16 am

oops. Vicious.

1:17 am

1:17 am

ok. and i'm out! *poof*

1:17 am

night m9

1:19 am

<-- fading, but fighting for the finish line! (9)

1:21 am

may have to hold them for tmw

1:22 am

I guess I'd better settle down and look for some words!

1:22 am

hello. Did anybody see last night's chat? I found two vipers IN MY STUDIO. One was dead and the other went back outside

1:23 am

viper?

1:23 am

snake?

1:23 am

yikes!!!!

1:23 am

just some every now and then, jilli ;)

1:23 am

Ooh!

1:24 am

Were they really vipers?

1:24 am

yes. We went outside this AM and killed the second one with greast difficulty.

1:25 am

wow!

1:25 am

Nasty!

1:25 am

they are amazing with extremely tiny head, maybe 15-18" long

1:26 am

* shudder *

1:26 am

there are only 2 kinds of snakes here: coulouvres (very large (4 - 5 ft but benign and I've never seen one) and vipers

1:26 am

I occasionally see a little grass snake in my garden, that's all!

1:27 am

I'm not afraid of snakes in general, only poisonous ones (I'm not that stupid)

1:27 am

the worst of it was that it was INSIDE

1:27 am

I enjoy seeing none!

1:27 am

(unless captive in a zoo)

1:54 am

firewords

2:05 am

Hooray jilli!

2:05 am

hello douglas

2:06 am

I guess the snakes were trying to cool off in the house!

2:06 am

Elroy, as in "His boy Elroy" is in the grid...brain is flailing at itchy, scratchy grid

2:09 am

Hello ruby...sorry to hear about the venomous snakes...something one doesn't see everyday

2:11 am

Rubyfoo - that's awful; here, in L.A. we get ants in the summertime, but only in the bathroom sink, looking for water I guess.

2:16 am

I tried to get mnbt, but couldn't get the northwest s without morewords...still don't have the northern i

2:18 am

my husband, who is terrifiied of snakes, was able to dispose of them. His protectiveness about the dogs overcame his fear, but he was very shaky afterwards.

2:18 am

I really like snakes, but not poisonous ones.

2:19 am

what was surprising about these was that their head were so small. I always thought that vipers had noticeable triangular heads.

2:20 am

here's my icon clue

2:20 am

I'm still a little worried that there is a nest somewhere is this garden as I think they give birth to live, poisonous, babies

2:20 am

NBA player (Car)melo Anthony is in the grid

2:20 am

if I hold that up, will it keep snakes away! or pin it on my door

2:20 am

(that was for jilli)

2:20 am

doug, that I is in6/21 -- strangely, it was my first word!

2:21 am

I wish it would, ruby!

2:21 am

like St. Patrick!

2:23 am

douglas: did you see the obit for Manute Bol?

2:24 am

a hint for the in6 pls.

2:24 am

ruby, what makes you so sure it's a viper, when it has a small head?

2:25 am

I read a number of articles that gave the impression that he was a wonderful human being, in addition to being an NBA shot-blocker extraordinaire

As far inside as possible, ruby

2:25 am

in6 -- opp of out-fewest

2:25 am

because there are only 2 kinds of snakes here and the tiny head was definitely triangular. I inspected it. Plus, a viper killed a donkey not far from here and my friend who lives about 1000 ft highter has found two in her garden.

2:26 am

fish please

2:26 am

got it, ty jilli

2:26 am

I see. I just googled images for vipers so I wondered.

2:27 am

anyway, much as I'd like to stay and clue I must go to bed. I guess it's all the coughing that's making me so tired!

2:27 am

2:29 am

If I had a small amount of money for every time eloi was in a crossword puzzle, I'd have a lot of money

2:30 am

doug wanted a fish coz of the in6 I guess

2:30 am

Yes, a fish for being slapped with for not seeing in6

Hello ruby.

4:12 am

4:18 am

Lovely sparklies!

5:13 am

Gosh, isn't it quiet on here today?

Hi Frances, ruby, anyone else.

5:19 am

hi sally, fran, ruby, fish chris and everyone

Hi sandy! Was thinking I was invisible :-)

Been searching everywhere for my last mo4, and have just realised I already have all the 4's.

Well, think I will tootle off for now. Hi and bye everyone.

5:25 am

bye sally

5:25 am

hello all! sandy, beautiful celtic cross!

5:26 am

hi sprite, I need to change it of course

5:27 am

but I am glad I got to see it!

5:27 am

I have been to lunch today and just got home

5:27 am

did you have a good time?

5:28 am

it was my last birthday celebration a lunch at a girlfriend's place it was lovely and she gave me lots of lovely presents as well

5:28 am

awwww that is so special! Am happy for you. You deserve it.

5:28 am

are you ok? Ihaven't seen you lately

5:29 am

am ok. Just going to a pretty intense period of therapy. It is taking up a lot of my energy and I play babble at odd hours. Thanks for caring.

5:30 am

hope you are ok

5:31 am

yes I really am. It is tough but I can feel this is exactly what is needed now. Am positive, this will bring me closer to who I really am.

5:31 am

well just stay positive and remember how fabulous you are

5:31 am

and how clever

5:32 am

lol not fabulous nor clever, but yes, starting to feel I am worth being alive.

good morning Babblers

5:32 am

hey Nanette :)

5:33 am

you know sprite you are fabulous and clever and you better start believing it - hi nan

5:34 am

thanks sandy :) I promise I'll try.

i echo thos sentiments Sprite. Don't ever doubt yourself

5:34 am

thanks Nanette :)

I've met her in person and can attest to her fabulosity and cleverness. Hi folks. Sorry no new icon-- at work an dhad no time yet, will also be in and out of chat without warning.

hi MG good to see you if only for a few moments

5:35 am

work comes first, MonkeyG. Thanks for the kind words. How is work?

Great. I really do get a lot of time to just do my own thing (and will start keeping up with the icosn again soon). Kind of creepy today; someone brought in a knife with blood on it wrapped in a newspaper from 1943, which he just found in his wall and really wanted out of his house. So now I have iut here at the reception desk in a big box...

5:37 am

that is very odd and creepy!

oh my goodness thats creepy]

5:39 am

so what will happen now with the knife and newspaper?

I wonder if it might help solve some crime that happened way back then?

5:40 am

Do you work at the police station monkey?

5:40 am

Hello sprite. Long time no see. How are you?

5:41 am

am good, Frances, and how are you?

hi Frances

5:42 am

I'm good too thanks. Having a restful day off from cricket.

5:42 am

playing or watching or both?

5:43 am

Scoring.

5:44 am

cool!

5:44 am

I love it.

5:45 am

Did you see that I've at last put up a picture of my favourite hound?

5:45 am

ohhhhh omg he is sucking on a bib! That is so sweet.

5:45 am

is he a german short haired pointer?

5:46 am

He owns my granddaughter was a baby she refused to suck on a dummy and spat it out. He took over.

5:47 am

No he is a weimaraner/Hungarian vizsla cross.

5:47 am

you must have had quite a laugh at that

5:47 am

he looks beautiful

5:47 am

I still laugh at the picture - eight years later.

5:48 am

He is wonderful sandy. The most intelligent, calm dog I have ever known. Ellie adores him.

5:48 am

And he follows her around like a shadow.

5:48 am

we used to have a GSP that is why I asked

5:49 am

Yes, a lot of people think that too sandy.

5:49 am

the love is mutual then. So wonderful.

5:49 am

Oh yes.

5:49 am

ours was spotted and was very loyal to the family

5:50 am

They are very loyal and make wonderful companions.

5:51 am

I also love him to bits.

5:51 am

he is totally loveable, even from one pic.

5:52 am

Thank you sprite. He is a very affectionate dog.

5:52 am

ok this grid is a little tighter than last small one. Running out of words to try with 21 left.

5:53 am

those dogs are very attractive, I used to take ours riding with me

5:53 am

Need any clues sprite?

5:53 am

44 left here

5:53 am

oh no, not yet, thanks Frances. I love pushing my mind for so4 more words.

5:54 am

Sandy, Riz runs for hours in the forest. And I do mean hours.#

5:54 am

hounds can run for ages - I used to hunt and the foxhounds could run for 5 hours and still be energetic

5:55 am

that is amazing. So they need a LOT of excercise every day to keep them happy and healthy.

5:55 am

we used to chase kangaroos here and they move very fast - we only had one kill in 5 years

5:56 am

hope no activists are listening

5:56 am

Every year when the vet sees him for his checkup he asks if he can have him if ever my son gets fed up with him. He says he is the healthiest dog he has ever seen. He is ten next month.

5:57 am

wow Frances, that is a huge compliment!

5:57 am

Isn't it just sprite?

5:57 am

Hounds are not suitable for farm life as they are true hunters , but I wish they were, I would love another one- but they are true to their heritage

5:58 am

I like kangaroos, sandy, but I think most people who don't live with them do.

5:58 am

We always said that we would love to see him race a greyhound over a long distance. The greyhound would give up.

5:58 am

you could get together with lyn then.

5:59 am

Sounds like a good idea.

5:59 am

I love kangaroos too Sprite. We used to have joey's for pets when we were little - they are very cute and follow you around everywhere you go but kangaroos are amazing breeders and do a lot ofdamage to the farmers land...

5:59 am

and they jump over the fences so easily

6:00 am

yes that is what I meant when I said people who don't live with them. I know they can be a pest too. So no judgement from my part!

Oops, got busy here. I work at the Institute for War Documentation. The knife will be put into the objects collection in the cellars. The newspapers will be added to the newspapers collection unless we already have these editions.

6:00 am

am sure lyn would love the idea too :)

6:01 am

so no police involved, MonkeyG? Must remember, if I ever murder anyone, to put the weapon in a very old newspaper, grin.

and hide it in the wall spirte!

6:01 am

Funny sprite.

Heehee! problem is, then you have to age it and the blood coinvincingly and make sure you sealed it inside a wall that has not been opened-- even by you-- in 65 years.

6:03 am

hah but I am not that silly. I would hide it in somebody else's wall of course ;)

ah yes you must be clever about it :)

6:03 am

let them find it. No, just kidding. Must be a rather creepy thing to find.

Yeah, the guy really wanted to get rid of it ASAP, and I can't say as to how I blame him.

6:04 am

after all that time you might think that the rats had eaten the body

6:05 am

lol sany

The guy found it in a niche when he puilled out an old freezer unit and widened the gap for the new freeezer unit.

6:05 am

eeeewwwww

6:06 am

it probably was a murder weapon - why else would it be there

6:07 am

interesting controversy in perth at the moment - a butcher here has started to sell horse meat- he has received over 2000 nasty emails along with death threats!! I don't want to eat any but in Europe I believe it is commonplace

6:07 am

the problem is, there were so many murders in those years. It might have been a weapon from the resistance. But of course it could just as well have been a private thing. Scary.

6:08 am

and to hide it in the wall behind the freezer lends to the mystery

6:08 am

most butchers here sell horse meat too

6:08 am

and hello evryone

6:08 am

*everyone

6:08 am

hey Annie :)

hi Annie

6:08 am

hi sprite and Nono

6:08 am

he is the only one in Perth - lots of butchers sell kangaroo meat

6:09 am

hi annie

6:09 am

hi sandy

6:12 am

will be back in a little while

6:12 am

bfn Annie *hugs*

Oops, back again now. Yes, certainly a murder weapon. That street was one of the densest hotspots of Nazi occupation, sadly. Whether someone killed a Nazi with it or was killed by one I do not know. Obviously we hope for the former...

6:15 am

must be the former, MonkeyG. No nazi had the need to hide his atrocities.

6:15 am

hello again, just checking for snakes!

6:15 am

I hope it was the former

6:15 am

fireflies! Nice grid.

6:16 am

hi rubyfoo, most babblers aren't snakey at all.

6:16 am

no snakes here ruby, they go away in winter

Good point, Sprite!

6:18 am

We killed two vipars -- one in my studio last night and one just outside the door this morning!

6:18 am

I think they came into the studio to escape the heat

6:19 am

vipers* with an a, it looked like a babblet

6:20 am

the fl 6 reminds me of a horror film

6:20 am

goodmorning all

6:20 am

yw...congrats

8:02 am

oi6 - the guys in the Gulf

8:02 am

hello and *poof* gotta keep pedalling!

Well this looks a little more challenging than yesterday's puzzle. I think that one only took about 8 minutes...this looks better.

Could I get a clue for the i up there on the right?

nearer the middle, Monkey.

Hmmmm.... will think on that. Thanks!

Monkey - it's a word that begins with a preposition

Ah, yes, dumb of me! Thanks!

yw ... not dumb at all; it's hard to remember to look for words over 4 letters in this grid!

I'm finding my last 20 to be unnecessarily truculent about revealing themselves. Plus people keep calling and coming in and I have to then do my job...

the O is the hardest on there. Hope you all know your ancient history

I have all but one O. I tried olmen, but aparrently this word is anathema to enable; no surprise there.

Ancient drink...not sure that'll help you unless you know the word...7 letters if that helps

It's not the 7, I have the 7, but thank youvery much.

Wype of writer

type*

didn't have that, Cheshire, thank you

nw - I've got 5 left

Got the writer too. Sorry for response delay-- someone walked in with more wartime newspapers.

2 more....

Done

Woohoo!

what is going on with your work, Monkey? I caught something about war-time daggers earlier, but didn't get a chance to look back...

'grats, Cheshire

Well, it was a kitchen knife. I'm the receptionist at the Institute for War Documentation in Amsterdam, and it seems to be clean-out-the-sttic time because people just keep walking in today with stuff they think we might want to archive.

LOL, monkey... any undetonated munitions yet?

Not since I've worked here, but I know we have some schrapnel somewhere in the cellars. I was handed a Nazi medal once; talk about getting the creeps.

If I suddenly drop out of chat it'll be because teh guy with the outgoing mail has shown up down here and I have to take it to th epost office.

Yes, it must be hard to associate Nazi medals with valour, although realistically they must have awarded some for other than 'being great at being evil'.

oh, *sigh*... off to pb. Sorry.

... but not for long, finished and running off to get some gardening done between downpours. Happy Babbling, folks.

Is anyone here and able to clue the middle two gl's?

gl 4/8 gl + you see with y our **es and plural for the gl 5/18

Thank you so much! Thought I must have tried that combination, but no...

9:56 am

morning crossy!

9:56 am

that thar is, crossy

9:56 am

well, welcome, msid...

9:57 am

but a pic of gy4/8 would make everyone hungry..and we get enough of that as it is!

9:57 am

no kidding!

9:58 am

ah.. now I know that our little coin has it's root in tithing.

10:00 am

yeah, but if you ate a gy4/8, you'd have to go to some gy4/9 afterward

10:00 am

that coin you are showing is very rare indeed m9,did you know that the first official coins for you were from a melted down silver service?

10:01 am

why yes..I think I remember something of the sort.

10:01 am

all part of our make-do attitude!

10:02 am

do you think that coin could be in st5/14 now

bye all

10:02 am

ours have a lesser history,before 1858,we had upper and lower canada tokens and such and then british coinage

10:03 am

tired of monkeying...yl clue?

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.”

12:31 pm

ooh that was lovely

12:31 pm

afternoon

12:31 pm

howdy magyk

12:33 pm

we do indeed bichon

12:33 pm

I've heard that before, but I don't remember where.

12:33 pm

take the 2 types of antiques road show for example,one is british and one is in the states.......

12:34 pm

you tell someone in the states that the paiting is worth 100 million dollars and they lose their mind....

12:34 pm

that was lovely crossy ty

12:34 pm

tell a person in the u.k with the same painting and its.."oh...thats lovely..how nice" lol

12:35 pm

12:39 pm

fl6?

12:40 pm

Super-cool guys.

12:40 pm

in the hood.

12:40 pm

lovely, crossy. There was a second viper this morning, this one very much alive. It took 3 of us to kill it. Arghh!

12:42 pm

take us adults for example,we are as boring and dull as old cold dishwater.when we were young we were magical,we could be anything we wished with just a touch of imagination,a pirate,a explorer,a hunter of riches in the deepest amazon jungle.we could lay in some field all day and watch a anthill in action or turn a cardboard box into a rocket ship to the stars...somewhere along the way get get cleaned,schooled and taught to be responsible,and we get all the magic and wonder taught and groomed out of us....i try to keep a little of the child that i was in me,a part that never ages and can still dream of saving the world by flying to mars..so i try and revel in the wonder of the universe and the earth..even if it no more that to lean back for five minutes and watch an ant colony or dream of a rocket sip to the stars....lol crossy needs his meds it seems..do not get me going on us humans

12:43 pm

{{loves crossy}}

12:43 pm

ugh@vipers

12:44 pm

cute, non?

12:44 pm

((ruby))

12:44 pm

afternoon al

12:45 pm

wifes says that if you let me get up a head of steam that i am like a verbal case of the trotts lol

12:45 pm

I have to admit I was afraid, but only because they're poisonous. Otherwise, I wd hv liked to inspect and maybe disect them

12:45 pm

howdy buttons

12:45 pm

howdy cross

12:45 pm

how is it going

12:45 pm

but I wd never kill a non-poisonous snake

12:46 pm

and DH overcame his fear of snakes (extreme!) to protect his dogs. Gotta give him credit for that

12:47 pm

nothing better to kill a fear or phobia than to face it head on

12:47 pm

yup

12:47 pm

I need a clue for the first mo 6/27 please

Do you have a good hoe handy, Ruby - it is quite useful, and even if the edge is not sharp enough to cut the head off, you can hold a snake down (from a safe distance!) while other measure are brought to bear. (And good for DH!)

12:47 pm

plural of mo5/16? cash?

12:48 pm

good tip helen

It's iffy with rattlesnakes, because they can be so strong, but these vipers sound quite small.

12:49 pm

thanks, I thought another form was the plural, never thought of the s ending. FIREWORKS

12:49 pm

we used a pitchfork, a stick and a window washer, 3 of us for a 14@ snake!!! The waitress at lunch said she sees them all the time and stamps on them with her foot!!!!

12:49 pm

lolo,one persons panic is anothers annoying pest

WEll, she's right, it'll work - but you have to be awfully confident that you're faster than the snake!

12:50 pm

their bite isn't usually fatal to people, but kills animals and is very painful. I'm getting an anti-venom kit from the druggist as I'm totally spooked now, afraid to water the garden in my sandals

Ask if the anti-venom is safe for dogs, while you're at it.

12:51 pm

I think there must be a nest and they came into the studio to cool off!

12:51 pm

if it is a wide spread and highly populated type of snake,a kit cannot hurt

12:51 pm

How would you find the bite on a long-haired dog?

12:52 pm

Evidently there are a lot of them and they come down from the mountains and cliffs above us when it is this hot. These are the first snakes I've seen in our 12 summers here

12:52 pm

well it is also a hotter than normal summer?

12:53 pm

clue for oi6 pls?

12:53 pm

I don't think they're aggressive, but the idea of stomping on one is horrible. What if it bit your foot? AAAArgh!

12:53 pm

yes, much hotter

12:53 pm

and dryer

12:54 pm

ooray - fireworks

12:54 pm

yaa for kazz

If you think the dog has been bitten, the atni-venom doesn't have to go near the bite - if that's the point of your question. But it does raise the iissue of - if you don't actually know the dog has been bitten, is it dangerous to give the anti-venom because the dog is acting sort of the way you would expect if it had been bitten.

Just got that pesky oi7 - FIREWORKS!

12:55 pm

may I have a clue for the oi6 & 7 pls?

What was your worst one, kazz?

12:55 pm

it's a horrible thought and DH was afraid the dog would try to eat one of the dead snakes or investigate a half-dead one

12:56 pm

nite all - friday nite off to annoy the hubby

12:56 pm

congrats on fireworks, helens

The six is anyone of those guys at BP (or, to be fair, Shell, Exxon, etc.)

12:56 pm

oi6 is petroleum dudes

The seven, now oi + glass melted onto a surface for colour and decoration, but with a different vowel after then.

12:57 pm

oi 7 could be what no french honey here

12:57 pm

thank you

the n - not then!

good on kazz!

12:58 pm

no french honey???? lol

Back later - must catch up on news!

12:59 pm

I'm afraid to go out and water my garden

12:59 pm

hopefully, it will rain......

1:01 pm

20 left and I say "uncle"

1:01 pm

gd night everybody

1:01 pm

gn ruby tuesday

1:03 pm

any clues for the my's?

1:05 pm

Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two...pretty thought for the day

1:06 pm

I love it Crossy!!

aaah, how's your cat reacting to that?

2:00 pm

they seem OK when he comes in to steal their food at night but I think there is a long way to go before he trusts us and they accept him

2:10 pm

I think!

2:14 pm

well if ata doesn't know, who would?

2:15 pm

:D

2:15 pm

God afternoon, fellow Babblers. How are you all today?

2:16 pm

oh dear, that was GOOD, not god!

2:16 pm

hot and sweaty - just polished brass for an hour or two... and god only knows when it was done last!

2:16 pm

and you?

2:17 pm

hanging in here. I was supposed to have a "grandma day today with my grandson, but the DIL messed up again.

2:17 pm

BUT I don't want to talk about her.

2:18 pm

oh, disappointing i'm sure...

2:18 pm

hi doren and hi nef

2:18 pm

cool, thenwe won't.. but you can brag about your grandson if you want... is he one year old now?

2:18 pm

can't be as annoying as husband who managed to lock me IN the house this morning, and then blamed me for him doing so!!

2:18 pm

hi jbv. been going down to sandy hook this summer and think of you as i pass perth amboy.. is that where you work?

2:19 pm

yep. I love being with the grandson, and my "adopted" grandkids moved so they aren't next door anymore. :-(

2:19 pm

worked! I retired on June 30! Still can't believe it!

2:19 pm

he can blame you for anything ata, you are hisfmitch

2:19 pm

hi JBV

2:19 pm

oh yes!!! congratulations to you .. must feel wonderful

2:19 pm

I know!! LOL!

2:20 pm

YAY for retirement, JBV!!!

2:20 pm

it's still like a dream - i'm enjoying the freedom to do what I want, or do nothing, etc. - it's great!

2:20 pm

j - i'm in the process of purchasing service credit... did you know that as of november 08 out-of-state credit cannot be applied toward health insurance minimum of 25 years?

2:21 pm

and it's funny how things work out - I got my first big project on the very day I retired - it has to do with the incredible family reunion we are experiencing (see my profile) - I am now studying Italian so we can really communicate

2:21 pm

WHAT the heck, Dorens? That's terrible!

2:21 pm

that's bad news, doren - the only way I could retire this year was because I bought back 10 years of service from NYC and of course it counted

2:21 pm

i would think the reality of retirement would hit in september. even though you were in adm and probably worked during summers..

2:22 pm

yes, I think you're right, September will be another big reality check

2:22 pm

if I'd known, of course i would have purchased it two or three years ago. what bugs me most is that i don't think the union made us aware... can't believe i wouldn't have purchased then if i'd known, particularly since you can pay by rolling over tax deferred funds

2:23 pm

I'm now toying with the idea of retirement myself. DH's health isn't good and I'm not doing the best job in my workplace right now. I'd retire for sake of my sanity

2:23 pm

but if you apply now will you still fall under the old rules?

2:23 pm

that's an excellent reason, Nef - one I can definitely identify with

2:24 pm

no. it is very clear on the pension website... if you apply AFTER nov. 08 it doesn't count towards med ins. but it does count toward the pension formula... i'd rather have it the other way around.

2:25 pm

nef, do you have required amount of time, etc.

2:25 pm

one of my determining factors was the chaotic situation left after all the staff cuts this year - it would have seriously impacted my ability to do my job the way I am accustomed to doing it - well, that is

2:26 pm

exactly, j... very good reason. IF i get my job back, it is for two schools, rather than one... more than twice the amount of work... no way i can do that job properly.. will always be behind and lacking

2:27 pm

it's so unfair, doren, the really dedicated people were already doing more than 100%, so how can they be expected to do more?

2:27 pm

hey all

2:28 pm

by the way j, i had read about your italian adventure previously... sounds so exciting.. and i'm sure that brushing up on your italian can't be nearly as challenging as learning mandarin

2:28 pm

I had a staff of 4 people directly reporting to me, two retired and were not replaced, so the other two will be sharing the work - exactly as you said, doren, impossible!

2:28 pm

has anyone heard from Rive, have been thinking of her her her son all day

2:28 pm

River

2:28 pm

did you see that now christie is going after superintendent's salaries?

2:28 pm

yikes, cannot type at all today

2:28 pm

well, mandarin has been temporarily shelved, as I'm really into the Italian right now - in fact, today we had our first Skype phone call ! so amazing and incredible = and I actually did it!

2:29 pm

so lots of superintendents will be retiring next year, i'm sure. schools will be even more chaotic..

2:29 pm

yes, I saw that in today's paper

2:29 pm

the italian must be gratifying on so many levels

2:30 pm

Yikes, Dorens, your icon is scary

2:30 pm

doren my feelings are so intense I can't even put them into words right now but it's wonderful

2:30 pm

did you ever read the lost ravioli recipes of hoboken (not sure of the title)? one of my book groups chose it last summer... i just noticed my copy of it and wondered who to give it to... I think you'd like it

2:30 pm

Dorens, I "retired" from hospital nursing 4 years ago actually pushed out - because I had an OTJ injury and can't be on my feet for more than 2 hours/day. I now manage a prenatal clinic in a pregnancy crisis center; so I still work as a nurse but not for much $$ and I don't have to be on my feet any length of time

2:30 pm

oh peri, it's far more scary when you see it sitting on the toilet paper in your bathroom

2:30 pm

no, that sounds interesting, I'll definitely put it on my reading list -

2:30 pm

Sorry, had a phone call in between

2:31 pm

I bet it is, Dorens, how big are they?

2:31 pm

if you want to meet at sandyhook sometime next week, i'll give you mine

2:31 pm

couple inches... .the body is about two, but the legs and antennae make it seem like five

2:32 pm

nef, do you want to retire?

2:32 pm

I just finished a book you folks might like: The Gastromony of Marriage, a memoir of food and love, it was written by an Italian American who is planning to marry a Chinese American and how they not only blend their lifestyles but their cooking styles as well.

2:32 pm

the lady in the book travels to italy and connects with family on a quest for a recipe...

2:33 pm

now we're reading atlas shrugged... just over 1,000 pages! don't know why we're doing this honestly

2:33 pm

orle

2:33 pm

this book has 236 papges and is fast reading

2:33 pm

oh sorry,thought i'd try a word for a change... hope there's something good in the PB

2:34 pm

peri, that sounds definitely like my type of book, adding it to the list!

2:34 pm

italian and chinese cooking do blend well... think marco polo

2:34 pm

the author is Michelle Maisto

2:35 pm

Dorens, I LOVE nursing and my work. I loved working in ICU even more; but hated telephone triage. This job and the people I work with are great; it's the stress of being a non-profit, no money, and worrying about DH that is tough

2:35 pm

sometimes when you have stress at home, a job can be helpful... depends on the situation and the person.

2:35 pm

well I retired in 2007 and am on a fixed income. I had a small pension which was wiped out in 2008. now living with my sister and her husband

2:36 pm

what did you do before retiring peri?

2:37 pm

medical social worker, worked in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and actue rehab center for people witt strokes, etc

2:37 pm

again cannot type

2:37 pm

Hello...

2:37 pm

would you ever want to go back to work doing that?

2:37 pm

did discharge planning and case management in my last full time job

2:37 pm

hey Jellen, how is Tim today? How are you

2:37 pm

hi jellen

2:38 pm

NO, Dorens,,liked helping people but the time constraints and limitations of ins. companies made the job very difficult

2:38 pm

Just gave Tim an enema...the mystery and romance is gone....;-)

2:38 pm

oh (((jellen))))

2:39 pm

people are being discharged from all of those facilities sooner than patients or familiies anticipate

2:39 pm

Otherwise, he's doing pretty well...

2:39 pm

when my dad lived with me i had to do all sorts of stuff that you really kind of don't want to do. it was hard

2:40 pm

being the caregiver is not an easy job. I did it with my youngest sister

2:40 pm

My dad hired people to do that stuff so we didn't have to...

2:41 pm

I've got help, though...Tim's bro is here and runs the errands...

2:42 pm

bl

2:42 pm

Later, peri

2:42 pm

that is good jellen for all of you

4:20 pm

Morning all

4:20 pm

Hiya Lynn. How are you?

4:22 pm

hi Soodle. Buster stopped showing you out of house and home?

4:22 pm

showing? chewing!

4:22 pm

thanks Lynxxx...I already have fireworks but still itchin for more...stressful day

4:24 pm

You must be joking. He has a collection of cuddly toy, (compliments of my teenage girls), a collection of shoes (mine) and an assortment of bathroom mats, toilet roll holders, and odds and ends. He is a live wire,,,,

4:25 pm

Scramble is a word game on facebook

4:25 pm

thanks Peri!

4:25 pm

The contents of the kitchen bin holds a particular fascination for him. He rootles in the bin and comes up with all sorts of unsavoury toys.... sigh

4:25 pm

mmm maybe lots of walks and throwing of balls outside so he exhausts himself?

4:25 pm

hi Peri

4:26 pm

On Facebook theres a game called Wordy that is quite entertaining...

4:26 pm

4:27 pm

4:27 pm

4:28 pm

How old is Zoe-Anne, Peri?

4:30 pm

Hello again...

4:30 pm

hi Jellen!

4:30 pm

Soodle! I didn't know being a godmother was as expensive as being an aunt!

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

4:31 pm

Soodle is speechless

4:32 pm

Oh My - blame Buster. He got a tad over-excited there.. sorry

4:33 pm

Note to Babblers..... Young puppies and lap-tops do NOT go well together...

4:34 pm

Oh no. I have murdered the chog :-(

4:35 pm

blame Buster

4:35 pm

Started watching a DVD...Castle (the TV series)

4:39 pm

Jellen,I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted by your God-dog.... Yes. You will be expected to look after the dog's moral welfare (!!) and pay for its education, and goodness knows what else. Are you sure you are up for the challenge? (Of course, being on another continent relieves you of some of your obligations...) lol

4:40 pm

Do you have the weekend to yourself Jellen?

4:40 pm

lol

4:40 pm

No, Tim's mom, step-dad, and possibly his 9-year-old niece will be here...

4:41 pm

However, I have scheduled mani-pedi and a short massage for tomorrow...

4:42 pm

Wow, are they driving down the 700(?) miles each weekend? Good for you!

4:43 pm

300 miles...no, I think this will do it for a while...

4:43 pm

Yay. Good for you, Jellen. You deserve a little pampering. I hope you enjoy it. ((()))

4:43 pm

Can't believe they're bringing a child, though...

4:44 pm

Maybe theres method in their madness?

4:45 pm

I think they want to make sure she sees him while he's feeling okay...

4:46 pm

Its a tough call, no matter what.

4:47 pm

How are you coping, Jean? Are you bearing up?

4:47 pm

Doing pretty well today...

4:48 pm

My thoughts and prayers are with you....

4:49 pm

Hey - anybody out there need clues.I got fireworks a while ago....

You seem a bit brighter Jellen, hope that it is in direct line with Tim's pain level. How often will he be having the chemo sessions?

Good Job Soodle, I am towards the end, I just never ever finish, the night shift thing makes me too tired.

7:04 pm

le 4/4 word is anagram of the li 4/4 word car.eeyore

7:04 pm

Anagram? No...

7:05 pm

Similar... first vowel different.

7:06 pm

I now have 2 le 4/4 words, but the O doesn't work with either one of those!

7:07 pm

It does, car... with another. Think of Jay.

7:07 pm

I think his surname's spelled that way?

7:08 pm

An ol 5/10 is o plus anagram of li4/4 word car.eeyore

7:08 pm

I am trying O + Jay's last name and it is not working.

7:08 pm

Then pluralise...

7:08 pm

So sorry car.eeyore, clued the ol 5/10 wrong before.

7:08 pm

OMG! I just monkeyed it! Ty for trying to help me through!

7:08 pm

7:13 pm

*does not is

doubt it minver, I am trying to stay awake, bot not very successful...

7:14 pm

Yes... red and white. Of course you love your dog. :o) Can't agree they're the absolute best kind to have, though... as we have a Border Collie cross (mostly BC) we love to bits, who I wouldn't trade him for world! ;o) One of the best, I'll give you that... think our own dogs are always the best, to us! ;o)

7:15 pm

Ack, LOL!! "Who I wouldn't trade for all the world." I was changing it from "And I wouldn't trade him for the world"... not sure what happened there. LOL! :oP

7:17 pm

I'm not a dog person & I never thought I'd ever have a dog, but we unexpectedly got this dog.I do think if I had a pitbull,german shepard, or terrier, I wouldn't like it even if it was mine.I am very picky about dogs

7:19 pm

Oh... I'm not, because I love dogs! I've always been a doggy person... it's the soul and personality that matters most to me, as with people. :o) I could love any nice dog... or cat. We have one of those, too.

i've wanted to have a cat or two, but space dictates it is jst the dog and I.

7:21 pm

We could take on another cat, if ours didn't think he should be the only cat on Earth! :oP

7:21 pm

I have always considered myself to be a cat person.I grew up w/cats&dogs. Now I cannot get a cat since dog would probably scare it, but that is ok because I love my dog. Don't even want to get a right cat now.

7:24 pm

Phantom: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoc oniosis

7:47 pm

Lol!

7:47 pm

The oi 7/32 word is oi + not yes plus *** Gibson dofith

7:48 pm

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

7:48 pm

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

7:48 pm

Yes, I have it already, thanks Min - just think it's a ridiculous word!

7:49 pm

Heyas kids .. Channeling BR for a second there ..

7:49 pm

Oh sorry dofith. I thought you were asking for a clue

7:49 pm

evening all, just got in. this puzzle worth attempting?

7:50 pm

Hello Nancy Boy! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

7:50 pm

Hello everyone - I remember some of you from a couple of years ago when I played all the time so it is good to see you! I am down to 11 for my first game in a really long time. As much fun as I remembered.

7:50 pm

Some thought it was hard, but it is not bad with a list

7:50 pm

Hi cbr1965! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

7:51 pm

I might be seeing too much double for a list, Min ;) some lovely lads bought me a few after my shift. Wobbled home.

7:51 pm

I found 40 listless, then after using list I got 36 more.

7:51 pm

I'm so glad you wobbled home instead of driving home

7:52 pm

Thanks Minveryork!

7:52 pm

Now that I am do 4/5 with grid, I can do my story of clues. I am sure mo4/5 of you are already finished or mo6/27 do4/5, but just in case so4/5 aren't do 4/5, here is a story of clues. My hubby always gives me fl 4/11 about babbling & he sees several fl4/11s in this game, however, I LOVE babble & revel in the gl 5/18 of fireworks.Sometimes he's a ro4/4 pain in the arse Hubby plays that ro 4/4 very well. Husband is no 4/6 and tries to see if I'm meeting any guys in the chat.I always tell him "od4/6 are I am not".Word games are not hubby's st5/14. Husband would rather he4/6 the farm on Farmville & grow things like le 5/12s & other fruits and vegetables. Fortunately hubby and I don't play games that cost mo 5/16. Now I am going go wa 4/12 to the refrigerator to look for a snack & then I am going to go lay w/my dog as he no4/5 off to sleep

7:53 pm

Just tried to find out what that strange word means - it came back "no dictionary result"! Oh bother - now I wont be able to work it into my everyday conversation!

7:54 pm

Thanks Min, very helpful :)

7:55 pm

yw

7:56 pm

And as for driving home, I could have tried, but it's sooo hard without a car ;)

7:56 pm

LOL Nancy Boy!

I had a good week, but it was hot. The class went on a walking field trip on Thursday. It was not as hot as I thought it was going to be. The students were good

8:33 pm
