12:23 am

Goodnight dear, God bless both of you.

12:23 am

st 10/84

12:24 am

plural of st 8/50

12:24 am

ty

12:25 am

though those two start on different tiles

nbt

12:26 am

grem is the ST 10 the S next to the H?

12:26 am

no

12:27 am

ST8

12:27 am

couldn't be, from what I said before :)

12:27 am

oh lol

12:27 am

must have gotten it

12:28 am

i have an 8 not a 10

12:29 am

there's only one st8

12:29 am

oops, no, there's two, but they start the same

12:29 am

right but the 10 should come from the other ST that the 8 doesnt is what i thought you meant

12:29 am

ta8

12:29 am

first st8 is plural of st7, second st8 is right after first

12:29 am

One of them can be preceded by Miles

12:30 am

I have an st 8, but it is a plural, so don't see how I can get a 10 from it

12:30 am

i think thats the one i have erda

12:30 am

it's a noun that looks like an adjective

12:30 am

Yes, MLFAN, and that one will pluralize

12:31 am

12:31 am

got it - ty

12:33 am

yes, can take an A in front to become ae9 (not in puzzle)

I have di 9... what is other 9 please?

12:33 am

oops, wrong again - but it looks like it could (similar to an es8 that does)

12:34 am

Yes, MLFAN, but only if it's Wagner...lol

12:34 am

1:19 am

Italy's revenge on fruit cake jilli

1:19 am

1:20 am

I see it's spelt panettone

1:20 am

similar to german stollen I think

1:20 am

yes stid, but the stollen is a bit heavier

1:20 am

more dense

1:20 am

*not MY stollen...*

1:21 am

looks delish

1:21 am

well, maybe my stollen is, I am not the world's best baker. BUT it doesn't stay around long enough to make a comparison... LOL

1:21 am

ah, have never made one stid, just had them from the bakery

1:21 am

hi and good morning

1:24 am

1:25 am

I'm doing my best to help him with it all, but he resists me every step of the way.

1:25 am

es8/45, flosey -- want a clue?

1:25 am

ORMAL!!! (((many hugs and choclits)))

1:25 am

didn't know mr ruby was feeling poorly...

1:25 am

I need that same one for NBT flosey

1:25 am

isn't that his usual habit, ruby?

1:25 am

(nods flosey's head)

1:25 am

thanks mama

1:25 am

I have one question for the chog, and then I will try not to talk about this any more: If a dog has had a rabies shot, can he get (and therefore transmit) the disease? Does anybody know?

1:26 am

hi ormal!

1:26 am

no ruby

1:26 am

lol, thanks ru, was deep in this grid!

1:26 am

If I remember correctly Ruby, it is highly unlikely

1:26 am

I think it's like any other vaccination ruby... pretty reliable.

1:26 am

that is the purpose of the shot for the dog, right?

1:26 am

I shouldn't tink so, ruby, but it might depend on how long ago the dog had the shot. Ask the vet!

1:27 am

good idea. Thank you all for considering this

1:27 am

I would like a help on that es word jill. (please)

1:27 am

hi back jilli.

1:27 am

me too please, jilli

1:27 am

Nodding stid's head too

1:27 am

lol, and I think ru too

1:27 am

es + what you'll have to write for a post-grad degree.

1:28 am

thanks jilli - strange word

1:28 am

1:29 am

ty flosey

1:29 am

1:29 am

1:29 am

1:29 am

1:30 am

1:30 am

the only est I know is Eastern Standard Time

1:30 am

LOL stid!

1:31 am

1:31 am

1:32 am

good night mama

1:32 am

bye stiddie.. sleep well

1:32 am

oh, yes, and that's nbt for me too

1:32 am

how have you all been?

1:33 am

fine .. where have you been ormal

1:33 am

hello Ormal, well thanks, and you?

1:34 am

ruby, I'm not liking this grid, but it's bedtime for me and you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning, I guess, lol!

1:34 am

I've been on occasionally, but mostly home dealing with some issues and not online.

1:34 am

and trying to escape from you-know-who! hahah

1:34 am

Issues resolved, I hope, ormal?

1:34 am

mids

1:34 am

whoops, sorry -- going to PB for panettone!

1:35 am

oh, you just want the panettoni in the PB, eh ruby?

1:35 am

trying to find a place for my mom to stay for a while because I have to move and will be homeless for a month or so. brothers not so cooperative...trying to do my best.

1:35 am

snap, lol!

1:35 am

wow ormal..

1:36 am

hey. i'll take some of that fruitcake - or anything else sugary and tasty...been dieting (yuck!)

1:36 am

that is a very hard situation, ormal; it must be nice to escape to this sanctuary for a little while

1:37 am

that's tough, ormal!

1:37 am

yep, kids and mom in bed, hubby on a 24 hour shift...sleep or babble? Babble of course! :)

1:38 am

perhaps a good choice Ormal, change of scene, amongst friends

1:38 am

good choice! this is better than sleep!

1:39 am

I can sleep tomorrow - no doctors, no physical therapy, no kids (school started back already), no demands tomorrow. :D

1:40 am

That's an early school start! Howcum?

1:41 am

they have a fall break and then get out of school at the end of May. It's odd to me, but that's just how they run it here in KY. Most other states I've lived in are later start, later finish.

1:42 am

1:46 am

lol - how are you holding up Ruby?

1:47 am

Hi katie!

1:48 am

hi everyone

1:48 am

hello sandy :)

1:48 am

hello sandy!

1:51 am

good icon jilli

1:51 am

I'm OK but on-the-mend husband is starting to give me a hard time about his rabies shots. I think that if the dog was vaccinated before he was adopted by the SPA lady, he can't have rabies and therefore, going to the Rabies/Aids section of the hospital for more shots is a bad idea since the hospital has non-existant sanitary practices. He's had 6 shots anyway, while the dog is in custody. And now husband is being really nasty, just like old times. LOL

1:51 am

over halfway at last!

1:51 am

thanks, sandy

1:52 am

arsed is so a word - as in "I really can't be arsed with work this morning"

1:52 am

fireworks

1:52 am

Oh Ruby I have missed all this, what happened?

1:52 am

anglo-slang, katie, enable doesn't know :(

YAY anike!!!

1:53 am

sorry to hear that Ruby.

1:54 am

I have to go shopping now - a chore that I hate

1:55 am

1:55 am

ha ha, I can't be arsed with situation much longer

1:55 am

I hate shopping

1:55 am

lol ruby

1:55 am

see anike can't be arse to go shopping either

1:56 am

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who despises shopping

1:56 am

*arsed (and now I have to go to the pb)

1:56 am

*ashamed to admit how much she likes shopping*

1:57 am

it's okay katie, there's yummy panettone and choclits in there. I didn't eat them all...

1:57 am

I'll have to rush around like an idiot (not easy with 93 yo mother) because I need to wait here for hubby to return - he has left all his garages and trailer open while he rushed out to pick things up!!

1:57 am

I'm off to Barcelona this evening :-)

1:57 am

oh that sounds good Ormal

1:57 am

Lucky Katie

1:58 am

1:59 am

Sounds divine.

1:59 am

what are Ramblas?

2:01 am

it's the main drag of Barcelona!!

2:01 am

We were there in 1968, visiting an old friend of hubby's. He showed us around but HIS way -- we were taken to the football stadium and a bar where I was looked at askance by some ladies of the evening. Flamenco was off the menu, as was Gaudi. What a jerk!

2:01 am

hello everyone. 3am, can't sleep.

2:01 am

hello everyone. 3am, can't sleep.

2:01 am

2:02 am

2:03 am

ah ok

2:03 am

did you see my tale of Barcelona? It got delayed by the hiccup.

2:04 am

we are going over to stay with Diem in Vancouver with Mari & Mr Mari. Hubby has never been but we all love it

2:04 am

jilli, when I went there with husband, he wouldn't go to see the Gaudi sites and I had done my senior paper on them and could have given him a grand tour! He is very close-minded as most "smartest people in the world tend to be" lol

Waves hello lots

2:17 am

gm herin

Ruby. I was telling my dog trainer friend about your husband and even she agrees that because the dog didn't just bite then realise the actions and stop the dog should be put down as you just can not retrain those sort of dogs.

2:30 am

2:30 am

2:31 am

{{jilli}}

2:31 am

2:33 am

I just hate feeling sad, but I feel a lot more for jellen

2:33 am

2:33 am

2:33 am

that's why i'm here at 3:30am. woke up thinking of her.

2:34 am

Hi everybody. I am truly truly sorry to read the news about Tim. What a brave fight both he and Jellen have fought. Its a bleak day on Babble.

2:34 am

speak for yourself miles.

2:34 am

yes soodle. i agree.

2:34 am

Ruby, you should have a ne** in the Pb LOL

2:34 am

good morning, soodle, yes, it is so sad

2:34 am

it sure is Soods

2:34 am

I need one, Sandy, don't know if I'm coming or going at the moment

2:35 am

who is miles?

2:35 am

I have 103 left and I dont have that so thanks

2:35 am

a pilgrim

2:35 am

was wondering too ruby, scrolled back to see what I had missed

2:36 am

111 left.

fireworks

2:36 am

Reading that post about Jellen puts my own petty problems into perspective....

2:36 am

all we can do, I guess, is be here for each other!

2:36 am

true, soodle

2:36 am

it's actually "speak for yourself john' but the story is also about miles.

2:36 am

that means a lot ruby

2:36 am

congrats joshua!

2:36 am

ruby read fetherbees icon blurb

sorry if i missed any clue requests - i can clue now if anyone wants

there is a st 9 yes?

2:37 am

just click my profile and see the link

2:37 am

oh joshua! can't keep up with you!

clue for the st 8 & 10 please

2:37 am

i guess it's american history, so perhaps y'all don't know it.

2:37 am

miles was my clue!

2:38 am

Josh - I have totally missed all the 'miles' and pilgrims clues. the ST 10, if possible....

st9 is a noun made from an adjective

Darn you feather your adorable Nick pic sucking his thumb is making me all teary he is so cute

Thanks Josh.

miles meaning early american settler - if you are kind of on your feet and kind of not, you are showing someone how to st8, and plural for the 10

2:38 am

"the courtship of miles st8"

The only Miles I know is Miles Davis

2:39 am

I must say it is going over my head too

2:39 am

got it!!!

2:39 am

he sent John Alden to request the hand of priscilla (if I remember correctly) and she said "speak for yourself John"

2:39 am

I feel really dumb, no st's over 6 letters

2:40 am

aaaah

someone who is on their feet in place of you, they are a st7 for you

thanks got it

and pl for an 8

2:40 am

ok must go 100 left bbl

2:40 am

standin

2:40 am

aaaaaarrghh sorry

2:40 am

the ending of the st7 is used on some other words as well

2:40 am

LOL

Clue for the St 9

2:41 am

Oooh Mea Culpa

2:41 am

thanks herin. hard to believe he'll be 3 next week.

iron man's alter ego is tony st*** + loch **** monster

Cheers

Feather my friends sister just turned 21 I remember her when she was a cute little 6 year old

2:42 am

2:43 am

2:43 am

2:44 am

2:44 am

2:45 am

good morning diann

2:45 am

2:46 am

40 words to go and I must get to bed

2:46 am

2:46 am

goodnight all

2:46 am

I'm trying to reach half

OK I really should go. I have fantastic friends and their three darling dogs awaiting. (I love the malinois, the douge and the rotti)

2:47 am

i have 100 left!

2:48 am

bye herin!

You know what a Douge is?

2:49 am

sounds like a big dog.....

2:50 am

or a Venetian nobleman....

Dogue de Bordeaux

2:50 am

big, I'll bet!

2:50 am

sounds like a fancy shmancy way to say border collie!

about 60 kilos of boof head dog

2:53 am

and probably a cuddly monster!

Yep and a slobbery.

2:53 am

yay past half

2:53 am

wtg ruby!

2:53 am

I don't mind that

He is a rescue. His blood line can't leave Australia

2:54 am

This is him being snotty because he got told he could not eat the freshly caught rabbits http://tinyurl.com/25rjl6q

2:56 am

oh...quite the look of disdain!

Yes. He was rather put out that the humans were telling him no.

Hi Everyone. Another big grid again. Doesn't Dr-G think we have other lives? :-)

Oh dear, and now he has an excuse!

3:27 am

Hi sandy and ishult

3:29 am

I dont have the 10 but have one 9

Oh I have the 10 now. Stupid word but it worked.

3:31 am

clue it plz

3:31 am

yes do

st 10/84, plural of st 8/50. Start with st 5/12 meaning not sit, then add something you put things in but minus the first letter.

3:32 am

got them

3:32 am

thanks

3:33 am

think Miles St8 and the plural, it was clued before but i only got that 8--he is a blues or jaz musician i think

It's apparently a st5/12 for ink, pens and other writing materials.

3:34 am

got it ty

I wouldn't have thought of a Miles st8

3:34 am

same here

3:38 am

anyone got the c's?

3:38 am

forget it, just got em

3:39 am

I have just started on the ms , cant believe there are18 mi s

Top row greyed :-) Now to complete right column - nearly there.

3:40 am

only found 13 m's so far, am struggling now!!!!

3:40 am

just need the e from top row?

Haven't started the Ms yet.

3:40 am

I only have 5 llol

3:41 am

14 m's now

3:42 am

I am on a mishen to get those m s- except mishen is not a word

3:44 am

st8/50 and st10/84 which is the plural.

3:44 am

the 10

3:44 am

clues in the chog Chris

3:45 am

Sorry, I have them & thought someone was looking for the stats.

3:45 am

sorry Chris, I am very slow of mind

3:45 am

top line done

And right column done :-)

3:47 am

i have rt column but 2 missing off top line

3:51 am

I now have 7 mi s ....

3:54 am

now 10

Left column done - trying to complete the outside first :-)

4:12 am

lol sal , I am trying for three alterate columns ha ha

lol

My logic is that if I do the outside, the ones in the middle can't escape.

4:17 am

lol, I have no logic

4:32 am

I have my columns now to do some jobs

4:32 am

bbl 32 left now

I have my outside, 38 left. See you later.

Well I'm all done. Any clues needed by lurkers before I go?

5:25 am

Well done sally, I am back from chasing horse(%$#2!!!) and nearly finished

5:26 am

gratz Sandy, and hello all

5:26 am

hi sprite

See you tomorrow then sandy. And hi sprite! The one person who doesn't need clues :-)

5:26 am

hiya sandy :)

5:27 am

nonsense, of course I do. Just not yet, I have zero words now :)

5:27 am

I have the horse on a diet (fatty) and have only let him onto the 'paddock of heaven' for a couple of hours today, so he decided he would avoid coming in

OK, gone then **gone**

[lol sandy]

5:27 am

bye Sally :)

5:27 am

bye sal

5:28 am

I am sooo MAD horses are very smart

5:28 am

lol sandy

Yes, animals are pretty greedy. Our hens live mostly in peace and harmony, until I scatter their afternoon treat. The bit one hen has is obviously so much more tasty than the bit the other has :-)

Anyway, really gone now.

5:29 am

sounds like people, Sally

5:30 am

I can only see 4 of our 5 hens roosting tonite so I dont know where the other one has got to

5:30 am

they wander around during the day

5:32 am

I think I would like to have chooks. For the eggs. But I guess my neighbours would go bananas

5:32 am

Ks dead

5:34 am

I have 14 left , I wonder if I can beat you , you would have at least 180 left I guess (hmm no I wont beat you)

5:34 am

I have 42 now, you silly woman

5:34 am

LOL

5:35 am

what 42 left? that is slow going for you Sprite, you have been here for at least five mins

5:36 am

*shakes sandy until her teeth rattle* 56 found so far, 207 left. And you cannot beat me, because we aren't racing. Tssssk.

5:36 am

Ive been at it (not "it" in the biblical sense) on and off since the flip

5:37 am

I am racing!

5:37 am

yeah but I am not =P

5:37 am

that seems fair

5:38 am

grin

5:38 am

14 vs 207

5:38 am

yeah in your dreams

5:39 am

and now I am using More words (you probably have never heard of that)

5:39 am

of course not. I use a2z.

5:41 am

I am so glad its Friday nite and we have nothing planned for the weekend, I am sick of eating, I want to read a book and do a drawing this weekend and maybe go for a little ride

5:42 am

sounds like a lovely plan!

5:42 am

Nice I think and daughter is coming over with progressing plans for the house

5:42 am

that is nice too

5:43 am

we have to sell the other house tho, before we start building

5:44 am

Funny. since I had the computer people put xp on instead of windows 7 , I can do the icons again

5:45 am

windows 7 is not one of the best yet. XP is a lot less buggy and better compatible still.

5:46 am

well , I like it for sure , better than windows 7

5:47 am

so do I. I have a wonderful computer, had a friend build it for me last year. And I insisted on XP.

5:49 am

what time is it for you Sprite, ten to seven at nite here

5:50 am

it is 10 to 1 in the afternoon here.

5:50 am

the dog is crying because Nicky is asleep and wont throw her hair lacky for her-

5:50 am

so... 6 hours earlier than at your place. And for most Americans I am 6 hours ahead.

5:51 am

makes you 12 hours ahead of most americans.

5:51 am

thats right

5:53 am

and just when I start thinking I have figured out the time differences, DST sneaks in and makes my head spin.

5:56 am

We dont have it here, it got voted out, we have long hot sunny days and we look forward to the sun gooing down in the summer

5:57 am

some of the eastern states have it, not queensland for the same reason\

5:57 am

I love early mornings and the summerdays are long enough for me. I don't like DST at all and would be glad if it got voted out. No chance though.

5:59 am

I love early mornings too - at the moment we are having very sunny days but cold nites

5:59 am

that would be ideal for me. I really love the nights to be cold.

6:01 am

we need rain tho, we have only had rain on about 5 occasions since december

6:01 am

it is the middle of winter here

6:02 am

wish we could send some of ours over to you. We get a lot of rain here, sometimes more than is good for the farmers.

6:05 am

I am feeling very sad for Jellen at the moment

6:06 am

what happened?

6:06 am

the doctors have given her the worst news so things are looking very grim - Tim is very sick

6:07 am

she was on earlier and put it in her profile

6:07 am

oh dear, how awful. Have been thinking a lot of her and Tim, had not yet heard of the new setback :(

6:08 am

did you see fetherbees profile lately

6:08 am

you should look at it if you havent

6:08 am

ah I have read Jellen's now. Am so so sorry.

6:10 am

Thankyou Sandy. Such awful sad sad news. Hi Sprite too

6:11 am

hi lyn Thanks sandy, have Featherbee's open now.

6:11 am

hi lynxx, It makes me count my blessings

6:13 am

morning, speak of the devil, eh?

6:14 am

Hi feather

6:14 am

hi

6:15 am

I think they are checking things out

6:16 am

I really thought Tim would beat this - he is so strong and young and has such a wonderful partner, I am devastated

6:16 am

My dad had the same thing but he was 80

6:16 am

I feel so sad too

6:17 am

hi featherbee, yes was on your site for Jellen.

6:17 am

great idea

6:17 am

life can be so damned unfair, lyn :(

6:19 am

My mother had it too and I think it may have been what took her 15 years later. I had it very very badly too 10 years ago. And we saw a dear friend be taken by it when she was only 30 - in much the same way as Tim.

6:21 am

such an insidious thing

6:21 am

am so glad you are still with us, lyn. Yes, we lost several people to it too, though we know a few survivors as well, luckily.

6:21 am

maybe you can help me out. i'm trying to figure out the best way to get the donations to her. we've got slightly over 400 for her. a few of the payments are being delayed until aug. 10th or 11th, and about 65 is coming to me via checks in the mail. i'd really like to get this out today if possible, given the recent news. so i'm trying to figure out how to do it via paypal with the late/mailed payments. or just send a check. or send one of those visa gift cards (can i even do them for that much?) ideas?

6:22 am

am sorry, I really do not know :(

6:22 am

Iam afraid I am no use either Feather

6:23 am

lol, that's ok.

feather, I'm pretty sure you can get one of the gift cards for various amounts I've seen them, though can't remember where.

6:23 am

You could do it for any amount I am sure , you will have to look into it on monday Feather, are you sending a card as well?

6:24 am

yeah, but for say $375? i don't think i want to wait until monday at this point, will try to do it today.

6:24 am

(taking money out for a small bouquet of flowers)

6:25 am

that would be nice

6:25 am

yeah, i'd like to let her know who has contributed to it via the card.

6:25 am

she will be so touched

6:26 am

I can see why and I agree. It may really give them the feeling they are loved and supported by so many.

6:26 am

I will google and see what I can find out.

6:26 am

i'll figure it out, lol. just laying it out like this is helping. i don't think i can do paypal with the various late payments. a check would be a little more difficult for her, as she'll have to go to the bank. the visa cards would be best i think, IF i can do them for that much.

6:27 am

33 people so far

6:27 am

a check would be hard

6:29 am

ok, thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you! gotta go get us all breakfast.

6:30 am

who is censeri?

6:30 am

dont know , sorry

I am - sorry I missed the sign in space.

6:30 am

no prob, thanks!

6:32 am

thankyou feather

6:32 am

feather, I found this: The DeluxeCard Visa Gift Card can be purchased in amounts from $20 to $750.

6:32 am

excellent sprite, thanks!

6:33 am

it is here: http://www.mydeluxecard.com/cons umer.jsp

6:34 am

good morning Babblers :)

6:37 am

morning Nono

6:37 am

hi nan

6:37 am

morning Nanette

Feather, I have just sent funds to your paypal for Jellen

6:37 am

very good, sandy. I need 77 more, 12 8s among them.

6:38 am

lol you will beat me Sprite , I can't get these es8 and an8

6:38 am

in your dreams, silly woman :)

6:39 am

I am glad I brought this up, did you not know about it Sprite?

6:39 am

it is going well with the funds for Jellen and Tim. Thanks for telling me, sandy, no I did not know.

6:39 am

shall I put a link to the website in my profile? For those who don't know but check for icon themes?

6:40 am

I thought you would want to, I stumbled across it yesterday

I didn't know of it either till I started reading todays chog

6:41 am

I think so Sprite, there are a lot who would want to be involved , I know I did

6:41 am

ok will do. Feather, I hope you agree, I will put your link in my profile.

6:48 am

hello Kaplan

6:48 am

hello kaplan

6:49 am

thanks ladycece

yw

6:49 am

thanks lady one more left the es8

ty lady

6:49 am

he is right. Does he get tetanus shots too, or was his protection still valid maybe?

6:50 am

they gave him 5 tetanus shots at the ER instead of the one he needed! They don't know what they're doing

6:50 am

he has had elegant sufficiency of tetnus shots i think

6:50 am

sarge

6:50 am

ouch, that is a little over the top, yes.

6:50 am

forever!

6:50 am

oh poo...very sorry all :-(

6:50 am

6:51 am

6:54 am

6:54 am

Yes , I think that would work

6:55 am

your icon is a hoot, zooz!

feather I just sent to your paypal account

6:55 am

hi all

6:56 am

good morning all...

6:56 am

lol..thanks Ruby

hi Ardilla

6:56 am

any word from jellen this am?

6:56 am

Hi carlee

6:56 am

Hello, ardilla & Carlee

Hi Carlee

6:56 am

probably won't be on for long...rather tired from this week

6:56 am

hi carlee. she'll need all the support we can muster!

6:56 am

yes carlee , not good news and look at featherbees profile

6:56 am

hello ardilla

6:57 am

i knew that much thanks

6:57 am

hi carlee, hi ardilla

6:58 am

look at her profile too, she put a post for today

6:58 am

I think this has been a very bad week for our little community

6:58 am

ok feather, will remove the message tomorrow then.

6:58 am

it has been terrible Ruby

6:59 am

ruby, how are you and hubby holding up?

6:59 am

but, fortunately, we stick together!

6:59 am

*sends good vibes to Ardilla*

hi Annie

6:59 am

hi Nono

6:59 am

hi Annie

6:59 am

Hello, Annie

7:00 am

hi sprite, zooz

7:00 am

heis depressed and nasty but I told him not to take it out on me (herin, wherever you are, I'm sticking up for myself!), and he has to go back for more shots today. This will be a long process, I fear. The owners of the dog are trying to get us to drop the charges. NOT!

7:01 am

I dont think the man should go to jail, but I do think the dog needs to get put down and they need to pay

7:01 am

wtg rubyfoo on standing up for yourself!

7:01 am

ok...i look at the grid and in under 10 secs i find 2 unrelated food words...am i hungry perhaps???

7:02 am

yes, you have all buoyed me up and I really appreciate that!

7:02 am

go kick some a$$ ruby

7:02 am

hmmm food words?

7:02 am

hi carlee, lol, yes it sounds like it :)

7:02 am

Oh ruby, hang in there. The dog should be destroyed and the charges should not be dropped. Stay strong.

7:02 am

tough old Ruby!

7:02 am

i1m not..i have just eaten a couple of blueberry muffins :-)

ruby, if there is a criminla case against them, if they contact you directly that is witness tampering and intimidation

7:03 am

sure zooz, rub it in, will you? ;)

7:03 am

BLUEBERRIES

7:03 am

the husband is lying to everybody (especially his wife) and saying that he offered to help and that he was holding onto the leash and the dog dragged him all the way across the road

7:03 am

hi TOwl :)

7:03 am

no kidding, TO. I wonder if the law is the same here

all the more reason for the dog to be put down ruby!

7:04 am

well that was plain and simply not true. If that had been the case, you wouldn't have had to have the police search for him. Pure nonsense.

7:04 am

I agree, Nono

7:04 am

the dog has to go! Next time it might be much worse

7:04 am

Have missed out on this conversation for a few days. Is your husband feeling any better?

7:04 am

the mayor of the village and all the local ladies want the dog to be put down. I can't imagine that they won't do it!

7:04 am

hi ChampFit

hi Champ

ruby: don't talk to them. report there trying to ocntact you to the police.

7:04 am

Hi Owl,sprite

7:05 am

Imagine if it was a child.....

7:05 am

hello, Champ

7:05 am

good idea, TO!

7:05 am

Hi all!

a lawyer will twist around anything that you say. say nothing.

7:05 am

ty for the advice!

7:05 am

listen to TO Ruby , what she is saying has a lot of relevance

7:06 am

yes it has. I never thought of that!

7:06 am

ok...morning sneezes..no coffee yet... i want a blueberry muffin now...perhaps i will go make some... <thinking> ( no jokes about seeing smoke all the way from where u are please)

7:06 am

lol

sorry for unsolicited advice.

7:06 am

7:39 am

Hello Babble buddies. I am leaving soon for the Adirondack Mountains. Tomorrow is the big hike for the American Cancer Society.

7:39 am

thanks for the link, Sprite -- contribution made . . . just so very sad

7:39 am

Hi Scrabbler, I wish you well

7:39 am

hi there scrabs <hugs>

7:39 am

hey, scrabs!

hi Scrabs!

7:39 am

Hello Scrabs

7:39 am

love your icon, Une

7:40 am

Hi Scrabbs

7:40 am

Any updates from Jellen?

7:40 am

:-D

7:40 am

Hiking 14.8 miles tomorrow---yikes!

the news is not good Scrabbs, check featherbee's profile

7:40 am

Scrabs, not good news I am afraid

7:41 am

OK, that is what I knew last night. I sent Jellen a message then. So, so sad.

7:41 am

as long as you got good walking shoes on you`ll be fine scrabs.

7:41 am

Mom, yesterday the folks who were suppose to pick up food for the soup kitchen were no-shows so they called me and I zipped over to load big boxes of veggies an fruit . . . then back to my house to greet 7 friends that I had over for a birthday lunch -- had head in freezer trying to stop melting!! (was near 100 outside!)

7:42 am

at least we got some good rain out of it!

7:42 am

scrabs, do you know if she's staying at the hospital 24/7 right now? Trying to plan where to send the flowers.

7:42 am

oh Une, I can picture you doing that. Oh good, I am glad you got rain

7:43 am

I will think of Tim & Jellen during the hike, my late friend Mary, and all past, present + future cancer-effected people.

7:43 am

I suspect that she is. Leaving his side would be too tough. I e-mailed her last night but did not get a reply.

7:44 am

pretty sure she is

7:44 am

Do you know which hospital, Feather?

7:44 am

what should i do, do you think?

7:44 am

i think kje might...not sure

7:44 am

back in a mo

7:44 am

i would do the hospital

7:45 am

remember family is coming in...there could be someone home...taking turns perhaps...

7:45 am

I think the hospital would be best too.

7:45 am

His cancer care was at Barnes Hospital, I think--maybe in St Louis. But I think they are at a local hospital. I forget the name.

7:45 am

but if at hospital both tim and jellen can enjoy.....and no one has to get them to the hospital for them

but will he be at the hospital for an extended time or go back home soon

7:46 am

I was wondering if Tim would be going to a hospice or if the hospital has hospice care

7:47 am

i believe i read that they were in cox south in springfield missouri

7:47 am

I sure hope there is Hospice care--then Tim's pain + anxiety will be well-managed.

7:48 am

Yes, that's it, littlebit!

yes Hospice is wonderful

7:48 am

Hello, littlebit

7:48 am

hi there littlebit

7:48 am

hello little

7:48 am

hey everybody

hi littlebit

7:49 am

i had my firstborn there...so i remembered

7:50 am

Well, I must get ready to depart. Will go to friend's house, get her kayak on my car, then head for the mtns. With a heavy heart for Tim & loved ones.

7:50 am

Hope iyou enjoy your trip Scrabs.

7:51 am

bye scrabbs, enjoy your kayaking and hiking

7:51 am

enjoy the trip scrabs....

7:51 am

Is Feather still here to see the name of the hospital. Maybe she could call to confirm that he is there. Cox South 3801 S. National Ave., Springfield, MO‎ - (417) 269-6000‎

bye Scrabs the weather should be fantastic this weekend

7:51 am

we'll keep the homefires burning for you for when u return

7:52 am

and i'm off to get dressed and start my day...bbl to finish

7:52 am

Save that for her, please. Yes, good weather tomorrow = high of 68, 0% chance of rain. ((Babblers)

7:52 am

i just cut and pasted into chat scrabs

7:56 am

is there any more news on Tim?

7:58 am

Feather - just sent a contribution to your paypal account. very kind of you to do this .

Hi Katie only what is in featherbee's profile but I gather that is from last nite

7:59 am

Katie, sorry to say the news is not good..I read Jellen's profile and she writes that Tim was advised to make "end of life" arrangements. I am heartsick

7:59 am

just came back, got it thanks

7:59 am

Oh no that is so sad, I think I'll just go and have a little weep if no one minds

8:00 am

No one will mind Katie..very sad news indeed :-(

8:00 am

nurse, are you harriette?

8:01 am

Yes, Feather

8:01 am

does anyone else feel we are all sitting around in a hospital waiting room... and instead of reading boring magazines we are babbling..sort of?

8:02 am

yes, Carlee, it does feel that way

8:02 am

Yes..thats a good way of putting it Carlee

8:02 am

oh yes carlee, you just want to give her a massive hug

8:02 am

ok...i thought perhaps i was losing my marbles

8:03 am

it does make you appreicate how lucky you are though, and puts everything in perspective

8:03 am

feather, I dont know what happened to the message I just sent but here it is again..scrabbler posted the addy and phone # of the hosp. --just scroll down a but

8:03 am

yep got it thanks

8:03 am

*bit

8:05 am

yikes, i really wanted to go to the bank today to get the card and get it all taken care of, but at this rate there'll be another hundred by the time i get back! maybe i should wait for tomorrow.

8:07 am

feather, what card, may I ask?

8:07 am

if waiting until tomorrow that would mean it wouldn't get to her by Monday

8:07 am

Still go & get the flowers and card then do like you said with the paypal.

8:08 am

8:08 am

were you thinking of sending the card "next day" mail? I would think he would still be at the hospital

8:09 am

ok, sounds good. a visa gift card.

8:09 am

and afterwards if there is more money... whe Tim passes...a donation can be made

8:09 am

excellent idea Carlee

excellent idea Carlee

8:09 am

ahhhh, excellent idea carlee

8:10 am

I'm sure whenever the visa gift card gets there, it will be very appreciated. Just what I was going to say carleekat.

8:10 am

Sounds good to me.

8:10 am

smart girl there, that carlee...

8:10 am

a gift card would be appreciated

8:10 am

ok, it's a plan.

8:10 am

8:12 am

feather i can't use paypal and we are going away as soon as hubby gets back, could you keep it open so I could do it mid next week.

8:13 am

8:13 am

i agree..excellent idea

8:13 am

diseased

8:14 am

now i'm not so panicked about how much to do the visa for

8:14 am

8:17 am

byebye katie

8:18 am

ahhh, gotta love a breakfast that is both satisfying AND healthy! scrambled egg whites with onions and cheese served sandwich-style on a whole wheat bagel-thin and a cuppa on the side: vanilla caramel this morning.

8:18 am

Katie, have a good trip

by Katie have a good time on your trip

8:18 am

8:19 am

8:19 am

fede

8:19 am

sorry

8:20 am

Hello Tceicher

8:20 am

Not if I have anything to do with it, Jayk ;) I'm trying to use the crutches less and less. I just need to enlist the help of some of my slightly burlier male friends to take care of my luggage for me ;) unless the pb can spare a few cabana boys

hi Tceicher

8:21 am

hi tce

8:21 am

NB, my living room could use a few cabana boys. ;)

8:21 am

i think instead of a cabana boy..i want a handsome chef with a sense of humour

8:22 am

good morning, sorry about my feeble attempts to spell words

8:22 am

or...do i want a handsome housekeeper with a sense of humour

8:22 am

My the looks of my flatmate this morning, my living room already has its own cabana boy ;) mmm. he's lifting weights.

8:22 am

oh hell..both

8:22 am

but they both need good butts

8:22 am

sounds good NB! And now I must be off. Worlds to conquer

yes I agree Carlee, a chef would be wonderful or a housekeeper either one...... maybe we could find someone that could do both?

bye Jay

8:23 am

*By the looks, that is. BY the looks. Oh maybe it was a case of "my, the looks!"

8:23 am

not a bad change of living accommodations, NB. ;)

8:23 am

no...i think both would be lovely...

8:23 am

its a dream..one can be greedy

yes your right again :)

8:24 am

No Eva, this has its perks ;)

8:25 am

its always nice to have a place with a good view. ;)

8:25 am

ok..i need to eat... and i need to have a shower..and i need to start my 12 loads of laundry... i will pop in from time to time...take care all

8:25 am

Bye Carlee

8:25 am

that's what i think when I watch tim getting ready for work in the am.

8:26 am

he looks very good from behind.

8:26 am

;-)

8:26 am

But as a wife, you have permission to looko :P as a flatmate, I should probably refrain.

8:26 am

ugh carlee...i have loads of laundry to do too..

8:27 am

well, you have to look at him to speak to him dont you? otherwise would be rude!

8:27 am

NB... he IS lifting weights in front of you!

8:27 am

hmmmmm

8:27 am

'looko'? see, it's affecting my typing ;)

8:27 am

the view from behind is MOST important... oof..ok..revised the dream...a a scottish chef in a kilt with a sense of humor..and a scottish housecleaner..again..in a kilt...both with deep scottish accents....ok..carlee leaves teh chog with a dreamy look on her face

8:28 am

someone else has a Sean Connery fantasy!LOL

8:28 am

men in kilts... ooofff...

8:28 am

no..NOT sean connery....

8:28 am

LOL, M9 and Eva. I love you ladies ;)

8:29 am

my first love was a scot....black hair...crystal blue eyes... a firefighter to boot and looked fab in a kilt....

8:29 am

well not now...but a YOUNG Sean Connery??

8:29 am

wow carlee... where'd he go?

8:29 am

that just did it to me...set the pattern...

8:30 am

we broke up....then we were friends with benefits...and then friends... and...i got married..he got married... we both moved away...

8:31 am

ah.

8:31 am

we love you too, dearest. we are nothing, if not enablers. ;)

8:31 am

8:31 am

8:32 am

8:32 am

going going *poof*

8:33 am

he's not doing the workout for your benefit perhaps???

8:34 am

probably not M9. But I can dream ;)

8:34 am

LOL!

8:35 am

yes, is this frank person seeing someone? not that i would recommend getting involved with a roommate, but yknow, fun with a roommate can be... well, fun!

8:36 am

don't tempt me, Eva :P

8:37 am

ok down to 95 more to find..taking a break..will be back later.

8:38 am

bye zooz

8:38 am

*tempt, tempt*

8:38 am

wd zoo

8:39 am

haha! he just asked, "what are you talking about?" errrrrm...

8:39 am

"state of the union". that's a good answer

8:40 am

*shouts to frank* we are talking about how sexay you are!! ;)

8:42 am

Lol! honesty is the best policy here. I said "you and your abs", he gave me a kiss on the top of the head and went off to get a shower. Not even a weird look. Do I have to up the crazy to get a reaction out of him?

8:43 am

ooh, kiss on the head. signs of affection. mmmm..... shower. ;)

8:44 am

as my mother would say "are you sure it's not just propinquity?"

8:44 am

any clue for the 9s or 10? missing both

8:44 am

that's actually what she said when I told her Tim and i were engaged....

8:45 am

yes. "speak for yourself john" that's my clue and I'm sticking to it!

8:45 am

lol M9, I guess the last 27 years have proved her wrong in that respect ;)

8:45 am

I liked the iron man clue for the 9. tony S

8:46 am

she died before we got married.

8:46 am

what is the iron man clue? dont get it.

8:46 am

and who is the iron man?

8:46 am

Iron man's secret identity: Tony S... oh nvm!

8:46 am

oh M9, I'm sorry!

8:47 am

dont know who iron man is. sorry.

8:47 am

that's ok NB. long time ago.

8:47 am

ok.. think of the bird that brings babies but change the vowel

8:47 am

and then go rent Iron Man.

8:48 am

and then add a loch ending.

8:49 am

thanks m9

8:49 am

8:49 am

8:52 am

NB...you could BE her bachelorette party!

8:53 am

8:54 am

*imagines NB at her bachelorette party* yes, this might HAVE to happen! ;)

8:57 am

lol! well I hope you have a wicked time when that particular event rolls round, Eva ;) something tells me you will. Right now though, I'd better be off to get in the shower myself. I'm afraid the fantasties end here :P later all!

8:57 am

oh dear, both nb *AND* frank in the shower?? ::feels woozy::

8:58 am

awww, look at Eva stroking my ego ;) (((Eva))) have a good day!!

8:59 am

8:59 am

9:00 am

sorry but every time I hear the name Frank I think of the combine in the Pixar Cars movie..

9:01 am

9:02 am

yup. I have a 4 yo.

9:07 am

well, things have kinda settled down a bit since NB left, eh? jeez, hes such an instigator. ;)

Hi Judi

9:57 am

hi jui

9:57 am

fingers not right today, I meant judi

9:58 am

S'okay, weiik. Where are all of our mates from across the pond today?

9:58 am

must be heading home from work?

a lot have been and left judi

10:00 am

Well, phoo. Good to see a strong North American representation though. :-)

10:00 am

One more from NA

10:01 am

hi bichon

10:01 am

hi bich

10:02 am

Hiya, Bichon.

10:02 am

The British have retreated?

10:03 am

For the moment, Bichon. Methinks they are probably just regrouping.

10:03 am

Okay, let's come up with a strategy

10:04 am

One fish by land, two fish by sea?

10:04 am

Yes, that works

10:05 am

Or, we could just blind them with our fireworks.

10:11 am

be careful. we have spies everywhere...

10:11 am

hi nb

10:12 am

hey, Weiik :) I'm not really here, just popping in..

10:12 am

Remember what happened to Benedict Arnold

10:12 am

Hiya, NB!

10:12 am

He had to go to the PB with no chocolate

10:12 am

i'm btwn jobs search and this, I'd rather be here, but, it doesn't pay the bills

10:12 am

What happened to allies and "standing shoulder to shoulder" and all that rot?

10:14 am

hey, Judi :) well being a south korean brit, I suppose we're double allies. nothing to fear here ;)

10:14 am

Good to know. Truth be told, you don't exactly look "fierce", NB.

10:16 am

LOL. But I try so hard...

10:18 am

hey, NB, what was this I heard about war games with the navy? Any knowledge? I heard China is very upset

10:21 am

Oh Weiik, it's a mess. After the North sunk that ship belonging to the South, tensions have been running high. The South have been doing some military displays/drills which the North isn't happy about, but China is trying to get the North to ignore it rather than bomb us off the map. Uneasy!

10:21 am

Oooh daykat, good night, 3:22 here too in the pm and I want to go back to bed, but...

2:24 pm

I did quit, but then the whole Leo thing happened, and my lucky strikes were there for me. ahhh, my old friends...

they are not friends. NB, they are murdering friends.

NB, you will quit when you are ready.

Plus this morning an Agency RN came in to work and I have to say she reeked so much of cigarettes that I had a hard time talking to her...

2:25 pm

lucky strikes are like leo. you *think* theyre good for you, but in the end, they cheat you out of what you deserve.

2:27 pm

and on that grumbly note, i must be off. (((hugs NB))) willpower, dearest.

Eva how goes the shoe situation?

2:28 pm

red, i have a pair that i quite like, though they arent *perfect* thankfully, they were extremely affordable, so if the perfect pair pops up, i can still afford them. :)

2:28 pm

Thanks, but you know if I give up now my trip to Korea will be a disaster and I'll be straight back on 'em. Basically, quitting smoking jinxes the rest of my life ;)

nice! I can not wait to hear the story about how the perfect pair find you...

And NB, just try to cut a little bit back for the moment. You know we just love you....

2:29 pm

allright all, im off. have a good weekend!

2:30 pm

Enjoy yours, Eva!

at 116 left, I am starting to think all the 116 words got bored and left..

2:31 pm

And thanks, Red :) I know none of you are trying to nag! Just being good friends..

yup...

2:36 pm

Hi again...

hi jellen how is everything today..

2:37 pm

Confusing and frustrating at the moment...

hang in there.

2:38 pm

Missed the doctor making rounds by about 5 minutes this morning...and she didn't talk to TIm, either...

2:39 pm

And his regular onco is off on Fridays...

If you have questions, the nurse can always page the MD, may not give you answers though.

2:43 pm

The nurse is going to try to talk with the physician who made rounds today, and then give me a call back...

2:46 pm

good news... its so hard when you are tired...but nurses are typically a godsend... and will make the effort

2:48 pm

( how can there be this many te words?????)

2:49 pm

oh..thats why..missed the male bis=ts and pieces

2:49 pm

bits*

2:51 pm

sorry...took a snackie break

2:52 pm

not allowed ard

2:53 pm

te 6, 8, and 7 before the exam, please?

2:53 pm

*puts chips and dip in the PB

2:53 pm

i am missing those too

2:55 pm

hi NB

Jellen, If you need to speak with the MD, the nurse needs to page the MD, not "try" the MD on call has to call back. She may be trying though to get the one who rounded, not the one on call. I don't want you to sit and worry all night.

2:58 pm

jellen...if u rent an apt you are a te6

2:58 pm

add the appropriate endings for the 7 and 8

2:58 pm

Thanks, carlee

Jellen, My heart goes out to you.

3:16 pm

3:21 pm

Thank you...

Spellcheck says, no dear.

3:21 pm

brb

3:21 pm

yup

If i did a bad job directing a play, didn't I misst***it?

3:22 pm

yup to you Kap

I mean, really.

You all tried these words already, I take it.

cwm is here, but not it's plural.

its. I mean its.

I hate it when people make its a possessive when it's not.

Pet peeve example: "We ate all those doughnut's"

3:26 pm

I understand where you're coming from.

3:28 pm

shhh, I'm at work. but fireworks!

3:29 pm

you are good Nancy Boy!!

3:30 pm

I don't believe we've met.

3:30 pm

I think I've seen you around...once or twice! Well, nice to meet you :)

Yay, NB! I haven't gone for fw in ag**.

I almost put myself in the PB!

"Who hasn't met?

3:31 pm

nice to meet you too. We both have something in common. We're gay:)

Here's a good "eggcorn" I just found. "I was curled up in the feeble position."

3:32 pm

thanks, Kaplan! These are my first fireworks in a while - and easily the chubbiest grid I've ever finished.

Gay is good, and go California!

3:32 pm

What on earth gave me away, Blue? ;)

3:33 pm

I quite agree, Kaplan. Out is the new in...

You're in if you're out. Take that, Katy perry!

3:33 pm

That's what I say!! It's about time! Oh, I must have gaydar.:)

3:34 pm

Whoo Hoo!

3 "dames" on the Supreme Court!!

3:35 pm

I remember a time when you couldn't say anything.

3:35 pm

lol! well come on, she's married to russell brand, she has her own problems.

I hate to say this, but it was time for the Supreme Court to have it's view BROADENED.

Sorreeee!

3:36 pm

When everything was hush hush. Good play on words Kap

I did the "its" thing again! I'm going to arrest myself.

3:36 pm

I remember that time too, Blue, but I called it 'living with my parents' ;)

It's its it's its it's its. Get it straight , kaplan.

Were your parents ok with you or did they flip out?

Blueheron, can you id the people in my icon?

3:39 pm

Mine, Kaplan?! Mine disowned me!

That sucks. Oh- are they very traditional?

3:40 pm

Yeah Kap, you could say that. That's why I'm going back to Korea in two weeks - they told my extended family I'm dead, so I'm going there to tell them that I'm, er...not.

Take some Margaret Cho dvd's with you, I guess.

3:44 pm

Let me check your icon Kap

3:46 pm

congrats on Fireworks NB!

3:46 pm

Nope, but my memory is not what it used to be. What era? 50's?

3:46 pm

haha! I wish it could be that easy ;) well, I don't know if the rest of my family will accept me or not, but either way they should know that I'm still alive.

Dobie Gillis and Zelda.

3:47 pm

Hello, Trif and Jilly

4:37 pm

i am sure it was excellent, soodel

Mine was from sometime back when the theme was flowers and I am too lazy to change my profile pic all the time.

4:37 pm

mind you, I am STOOPID tired right now, so I am not sure I would have been in a mind set to fully appreciate your brilliance

4:37 pm

Oscar-wnning,

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

soodle, how far would you guess cork is from galway?

4:39 pm

The Jaguar? I had an XK150 (1961) but I couldn't figure how to put a 'real' photo int the computer, so I just went to google. But it looks just like mine -British Racing Green.

4:39 pm

But I thinks it's a GREAT idea to post icons of flowers in support of Tim and Jellen! LET"S DO IT!!

4:39 pm

awesome, I've a xk120 in storage, I notice "had", what happened?

OK--great idea jilly and I'm keeping the flower up that I have...not out of laziness but because it is in my yard and I took the picture myself! :o)

4:40 pm

HEllo Trif!

4:41 pm

Trif, I guess it could be done in about 2 and a half hours (on a good day)... weather and traffic permitting.

4:41 pm

Okay, my icon is changed! Jellen this is for you and Tim! Blessings and joy for your time together!

4:42 pm

My icon is changed too for Jellen and Tim.

4:42 pm

But, Trif, I don't know why anybody would want to leave Cork. Its a great spot!!

4:42 pm

mine is changed too, to match jellen's flowers. btw, jellen, that bear is meant for you more than tim. not that he wouldn't like it, but it was picked out with you in mind!

4:42 pm

I am not on my computer...but I am changing my icon in spirit and will do so immediately when my machine is back up and running!

4:43 pm

The bear's in my lap right now, tee hee...

4:43 pm

Not sure why it is not showing so I am posting again.

4:43 pm

4:50 pm

okay -- i have been to many a play that has been hopelessly "misstaged" but I guess the enable gods haven't, bless them...

4:51 pm

I was going to say, Tim looks good for all his troubles!

4:52 pm

but I thought I should ask first, just in case it wasn't a recent photo....I did not want to say the wrong thing....

4:55 pm

Just been trying to update my pic for flowers, but I am such a techno-dork - nothing happened. Flowers there in spirit

heading out...be back later

4:59 pm

Oh Trif! Havent you heard the Soodle School of thought on tidy houses? Tidy houses means you are house proud! Pride comes before a fall (Bible). Ergo, if you have a tidy house, it will fall down!!

4:59 pm

if this house is any more chaotic, I AM going to fall down. Okay, must get to it. Love to you all, special prayers for our dear Jellen and her boy.

5:00 pm

Hello, Lynxxx :-)

7:02 pm

7:02 pm

yep, delivery made!

7:02 pm

ohhh...good...were we "surprised?"

7:02 pm

there are always expenses, i was surpised when my mo died how they add up

7:03 pm

7:04 pm

9:31 pm

hi TNC~~how the kiddies?

9:31 pm

Min - well, you can't take the first person's word for it and, sometimes, there might be someone doing onward stuff.

9:32 pm

i used the wrong ending on the 8

they are okay - just a few short weeks til school starts!

9:32 pm

I am so glad you got the flowers jellen

9:32 pm

are you all excited? Crackers starts kindergarten this year doesn't he?

9:33 pm

Melanoma again. The sun looks so kind, and can be, but can kill you, too.

yes, yes he does. he still doesn't have the poo thing down but I'm hoping that will work it self out (ha!) before Sept. 7

9:34 pm

the poo thing is a hassle, but he'll get it.

i hope so - at least the teacher is understanding

9:34 pm

We all ned sunligth to live, but slaver the sunblock on if you ar out in it all day, even as a trucker with an arm out of your cab.

9:35 pm

i bribed with peanut butter cups..the poo thing was barely a thing...

9:35 pm

he wont be the first or the only, just a lot of patience and a good teacher to handle the accidents

there is no bribing this child

9:35 pm

I hope I wasn't being insensitive there, because I'm just trying to save all the truckers I know out there.

he is mule headed stubborn, like his momma!

9:36 pm

give him his favorite book to read whilst sitting on the throne!

9:36 pm

dont' worry jac, i do not think many are on the grid now

9:37 pm

weiik - just you reading my posts then?

9:37 pm

9:38 pm

Hi TNC

I'm also struggling with the grid

tomorrow is the kids birthday party

9:39 pm

tnc, u r not alone, I've been on 4 times today, between every thing else, this is my last chance

I have 147 to go

:)

9:39 pm

I can clue. Ask away.

I'm just working through the list to get what I can

how about the kn words?

9:41 pm

I was not a Babble st 4/4 today. Babbling was not so gr 5/16 today because I did not get ne4/4 fireworks which st 5/18. So my ra4/8 remains low. My monkeys did not gr 5/14 my wish for fireworks. Monkeys were ar 4/4s today. They de 6/21 helping me and drive me insa4/4.I had to pull them by the ea4/4 when I se4/4 for them. I promised to fe 4/8 them a yummy banana di4/5 if they helped.They helped me find words today with ea 4/4. I gave up on grid with 175 words and let them go. They sn 4/6ed their banana treats and ran out of my ga4/6.I didn't even get to see my monkeys ta5/10 their treats,but I am sure they ta6/21 good! Ra 4/4! I can he 4/5 my husband st 6/12ing ne 4/4by getting impatient. He ge 4/6 a turn on the computer now or else he'll get en 5/16 and start ra 4/4ing and raving. Then there will be a he 4/5ed argument. Now I am going to te4/4 myself away from computer. I am going to get out of this se4/4 and onto my fe4/7 and take a shower.I'll be back later to help out with clues.

9:41 pm

kn4 and 5 are knots in wood, or a burr on a tree.

thanks, Jac, I thought I tried that

9:42 pm

Nice story, Min.

9:42 pm

very good minver

9:42 pm

i so enjoy your stories

9:42 pm

Min, I don't know how you do it! Lovely!

9:43 pm

Thanks guys!

damn, min -great work!

9:45 pm

I used to do stories like those, but can't at present; in too much pain.

9:45 pm

But Min's clue stories cheer me up anmd keep me going.

9:46 pm

Jacula, what are you in pain for? Sorry to he 4/5 that

9:48 pm

Min - the injured foot/ankle/leg. Slipped out of slippers 4th or 5th stair up and fell backwards, da,aging tendons, ligaments and nerves, 2 and a half weeks ago. till on crutches outside the house. 6 weeks to heal and 6 months to stop hurting, I've been told.

9:49 pm

*damaging

9:50 pm

My broken toe 10 years' ago healed quicker!

9:51 pm

Oh Jacula...I'm in the same boat! Well, maybe. Foot pain, as yet undiagnosed. xray today showed nothing, going for an MRI. Better off with a break, for sure! Quicker healing, anyway.

9:51 pm

So then your dear husband should be waiting on you hand and foot Jacula. (pun intended)

9:51 pm

Champ - we're both in for a long haul, methinks.

9:52 pm

heading for my pillows. see you all tomorrow. take care of your ailing bodies! (owie) night!

night, lbd

9:53 pm

Min - thouogh he is not married to me, he is waiting on me hand and foot, as much as his bad knee and shoulder allow. That is what has annoyed us both... he booked a week off work for us to deal with the garden, then we both got disabled and couldn't do as much as we had planned.

9:54 pm

Hoping not. I'm a runner, and organize a marathon training group. Do NOt have time to be sidelined! But there ya go...sometimes it ain't up to me!

9:54 pm

under 100 left to go

oooh, I'm down to 86 left

9:54 pm

I'm at 82, but it's slow going...

9:55 pm

Champ - theinjury I have is, apparently, a typical runner's injury. You're just going to have to wait it out.

9:55 pm

i have 81 left. trying to make it to 200 before listing

ok, back to the top of the list to try for a second shot

9:58 pm

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

9:59 pm

Champ - if they still bound you up with a support bandage, you probably could run well enojugh after 2 o r 3 weeks to win a speicial rac. However, if you don't have to do that, then let time heal.

de 7/44?

10:00 pm

The most able and niftiiest, Tea.

thanks, Jac

10:00 pm

y/w

10:00 pm

de + *ly away home + exam

thanks River

10:01 pm

I don't have a race for a couple of months, so plan on doing what they tell me till I'm all healed. No point in being stupid, right? There's always ice, and my favorite...Italian aspirin. It's red, comes in a bottle with a cork... ;)

10:01 pm

slow response time from here

and the de 5 after it?

10:02 pm

Ah, Champ - red, red wine? I've found alcohol is the best pain-killer, too. Unfortunately, you have to leave off before you gett unstyeady on your feet. LOL

hi sa4/5y

11:21 pm

oh! LOL I wondered. so many interesting turns of phrase

11:21 pm

interesting that you have never heard it

11:21 pm

well used here

11:22 pm

many things I have never heard, and probably just as many I have forgotten hearing. :-D other than that, how are you doing these days sandy? *one eye on Une demolishing the grid*

11:22 pm

*une stuck in Babble quicksand*

11:23 pm

*throws rope to Une* may I assist?

11:23 pm

reasonably well thanks stid, we are going to put our other house on the market and architect daughter is working on our plans to build here on the farm

11:23 pm

How are you?

11:23 pm

WOW sandy! that's a pretty big deal.

11:23 pm

have di8/45 and di8/50 -- need another di8 . . .

11:24 pm

of course the mansion I have planned is shrinking all the time due to unreasonable husband!! LOL

11:24 pm

I am "okay" sandy. So very very nervous about the coming school year. I start back Aug 27 and in the school to student teach the following Monday... students will arrive Sept 1.

11:24 pm

three di 8/45

11:25 pm

two are "plural

11:25 pm

Why nervous? and what will you be teaching

11:25 pm

and one is 8/9 combo

11:25 pm

nervous because I don't feel my graduate school faculty actually support me.

11:25 pm

have the 8/9 combo and the 7/8 illness

11:25 pm

7th grade language arts. I love the age, rather like the subject...

11:25 pm

the di 8/9 is "not" palatable

11:26 pm

already have that . . .

11:26 pm

okay, you need "not a chair" and plural

11:26 pm

Why do you need so much support, I am positive that you are very capable

11:26 pm

and to disagree (as in Supreme Court justices who don't like the majority opinion) and plural

11:26 pm

tx stid!

11:27 pm

and stid just gave me firewords!! THANKS!!

11:27 pm

Language Arts? is that what we call English (involves writing skills and reading skills)

11:27 pm

YAY Une!!!! (youpi)

11:27 pm

Jolly good going Une! well done

11:27 pm

I be exhausted so gnite all :-) *poof*

11:27 pm

yes, literacy, speech, drama, etc.

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

i'm turning in myself

11:28 pm

thx for all the help

11:28 pm

sweet dreams also ardilla. (((hugs))) I am glad to be able to see you a little bit again!

11:28 pm

gn gm gd to all

11:29 pm

My favourite subject - I have a daughter who is a school teacher, she is the music specialist at the moment but she is very good at English

11:29 pm

sweet dreams you guys

11:30 pm

I prefer social studies (history and geography) but apparently it's hard to find teachers who do both the language and the social studies

11:30 pm

I always loved writing and poetry also

11:31 pm

Diana teaches a lot of grammar - do you do that? I feel that there is no basis for good english without grammar

11:31 pm

and I think I need to get a handle on the expectations for language arts oh well.

11:33 pm

Grammar does not seem to be taught as much as it was in our day

11:34 pm

I am sure you will find it a lot of fun and a challenge, Diana was nervous about the music but she is coping well and finding an outlet for her creativity

11:34 pm

it will depend on the students, sandy -- and the mentor teacher I will have. Current reseach indicates that teaching grammar just for grammar's sake is often ineffective. It's now generally embedded in a more holistic way.

11:34 pm

good evening all :)

11:34 pm

So, as I assign writing, I will address the needs of the students as they arise.

11:34 pm

*pouts that kids are not interested in grammar*

11:34 pm

Hey nan! ((hugs))

11:35 pm

Hi stid -- finally got some photos posted:

11:35 pm

members.shaw.ca/memoryclips/chinaphoto s.html

11:35 pm

I didn't say they're not interested... LOL

11:35 pm

thanks nan! *runs to look at pics*

11:37 pm

good way to handle it stid

11:37 pm

oh, there are some wonderful pics! LOVE the ones of mr nan! did you sail on the floating city?

11:37 pm

has everyone finished?

11:37 pm

floating city?

11:38 pm

I did, for a change nan -- managed to get the 10 by myself, too!

11:38 pm

that big cruise ship?

11:39 pm

showing china pics to stidkid#1

11:39 pm

yes -- it wasn't all that big though -- 165 passengers, but a lot of open and common areas

11:40 pm

oh, that is nice. I guess it just looks bigger in the pictures, I guess ... photos add twenty pounds or so don't they? LOL

hi all

11:41 pm

those photos make me want to go, it looks fabulous, where exactly did you go?

11:41 pm

hi barb

11:41 pm

only 20? -- thought it was more than that!

11:41 pm

and the market pics are very very interesting!

11:41 pm

hey BARB!!! ((((hugs)))) how are you? I miss you!

11:41 pm

hello friends. trying to finish, but not really. just cruising along.

11:42 pm

stidkid is enjoying this as much as I am -- is that river the Yangtze?

11:42 pm

(((trifioso)))

11:42 pm

started in Shanghai and finished in Beijing with 11 days cruising the Yangtze and a stop in Xian to see the terracotta army in the middle.

I'm ok...my horse is doing better after turning himself or rather his leg into a skewer holder

11:42 pm

yes it is, stid and stidkid

(((hugs))) all around

11:43 pm

I saw that pic on facebook -- what exactly did he do??? it looked awfully dep.

11:43 pm

Cyber what a fab trip! and barb, did he stake himself and how did he do it?

11:43 pm

or deep.

11:43 pm

hugs back!

11:43 pm

funny pic with the lady holding a partially unfolded parasol, we are thinking it's because it was too tight to extend it fully

11:44 pm

hello babblers

11:44 pm

these were photos I posted for people we met on the cruise -- will post a video when I get it done and will let you know.

11:44 pm

is the an8 fishy? compound?

not sure how he did it...I found him with his leg torn yesterday at 10 am...by the time the vet got there at 430 it was too late to stitch

11:44 pm

too crowded, yes

11:44 pm

"I think mr nan is one of the coolest guys I've ever met" (direct quote from stidkid just now)

11:44 pm

an + doctoral paper

11:44 pm

hey gort

we think he was scratching against a tree and poked a branch into himself and then tore it

11:44 pm

lol -- I will pass that along

11:45 pm

ahh, thanks cyber, howdydoo stid

11:45 pm

psychic babble vibes are way out today -- I could not find the as 8 for the life of me, and poof, a clue appears...

11:45 pm

for such large animals they are so delicate - hope he will get better soon

11:45 pm

oh, owie owie owie. I once slid down a tree and ripped myself pretty badly. was a many-day hike back to the car, we were lucky it didn't get infected or go all the way through... I think I was about 9.

11:46 pm

trif, it is not good news for Jellen you should read her profile and also Featherbees

it seems much improved today. Drying out well and we are keeping it clean by lots of hosing with cold water...bute for pain...antiseptic spray to keep infection away and fly spray around the area to keep the flies away

11:47 pm

I think I need one of those temple dragons for my garden... about 1/10th size...

may have to have the vet back in a few days to take off the dead skin

11:48 pm

next door neighbour's horse staked itself and the vet bill was $6000.00

11:48 pm

sandy, i was speaking to them earlier today - has something changed in the last few hours?

11:48 pm

well, good. I'll try to check in via facebook.

11:48 pm

it did a lot of damage, as you know some horses are more careful of themselves than others

11:49 pm

I wonder if one would scare the deer away?

11:49 pm

no Trif, I just read your profile and thought you may not know the latest

well I saved about 200+ by not having her try to stitch too late. It is above the left hock at the base of the rump . The vet said this area is very forgiving

11:50 pm

that sounds positive Barb

11:50 pm

critters are so expensive, aren't they sandy?

11:50 pm

unfortunately I do -- thats why the flowers. many of us changed our icons today, as a tribute to them. also, today was the day they got the real babble flowers, and wanted to keep it going, as it were. LOVE feather for getting that together, what a love!

yes...but I was so upset yesterday...my worse fear...not being there every day and then finding them hurt

11:50 pm

feather is a very good organizer!

11:50 pm

they can be, some are more accident prone than others tho, horses especially

11:51 pm

I wouldn't have had much of an idea how to start.

11:51 pm

I agree Trif, it was fabulous of her

11:51 pm

Barb, you do the best you can -- we all do. ((hugs))

I was lucky I guess..but still you hate when they are in pain

thanks stidmama

11:52 pm

so I hope for a 178 word grid.

11:52 pm

ugh, stid, I had a dose and a half of THAT today....have not been doing my best lately, and it seriously bit me in the buttocks this evening. but things are better now, though i am wiped out

11:52 pm

When something like that happens Barb, I get no sleep worrying about them

11:52 pm

I hope for 123

11:52 pm

Guess I missed the babble flower bit when I was occupied with houseguests this week -- did send my best wishes along this am though

I guess I am lucky they haven't done more really. Can't believe they are already 12 and 13 years old already...lost track of time

11:53 pm

something smaller than this one, certainly, Sandy

11:53 pm

clue for the 3rd di7 pls (the one between wrongful consumption and afar)?

well I didn't sleep well last night that's for sure. Heading to bed soon to get some much needed rest

11:54 pm

(((trifioso))) I know how that is. There are days that I don't manage to do my absolute best -- but it was the best I could do at the time.

11:54 pm

make negative thoughts known, gort

11:54 pm

a group opposing the majority, gort

11:55 pm

my horse is 25, I have saved to buy another one after xmas

11:55 pm

time management and I will just NEVER learn the same dance, I am afraid....

11:55 pm

of of course, *smiting brow*

a friend has one that is 32 and going strong

11:55 pm

thanks cyber and leslie

11:55 pm

yw

11:56 pm

i was about to ask if that was old for a horse, barb. it seems so

11:56 pm

oughtn't it to be past tenserised?

11:56 pm

our old pony we had put down a couple of years ago was 34 but his teeth were so worn he couldnt chew his food any more

11:57 pm

25 is old but he is fine and we can ride and jump him still as he is very athletic

11:57 pm

no horsey dentures?

it is a sad day when we have to make those desisions..but often best for them

I am hoping to be able to move them from where they are to another place...depends what they charge for board

11:58 pm

it is horrible, I had to go away for a week because i couldn't bear it (I am pathetic) they had him put down when I was gone

11:58 pm

*yawn* I am so sleepy!

My old guy (Tank) I stayed with him

11:58 pm

we are lucky Barb, to finally be able to have our own property after many years of paying agistment

11:59 pm

not at all sandy. we all greive differently

11:59 pm

I was a mess when our little dog had to go a couple years ago. always sad to lose a friend

11:59 pm

you are much braver than me

11:59 pm

you are much braver than me

11:59 pm

stop it, stid! -- you are making me yawn

not brave...figured if I could stay with my dad I could stay with my horse...I almost didn't though..it was tough.

11:59 pm

we do all deal with it in different ways that suit us best
