Well, who posted that ???
Hi all. Anyone got a clue to first q5 word? Just can't find it.
My first q5 is absolutely, or very much so.
Nice to see you back on babble - I've been following your adventures - no luck on finding the right house?
This is a q5,20 that comes before 'absolutely' on the list. Hi christine! No luck at all. In fact, I must write up the latest adventure into the world of smelly flats!
Must change my icon now, and show support for jellen. Back in a mo.
Hydra - just jumped out at me -- to question
Hydra, did you find that q5,20 word?
stuck looking for that now, can't monkey it for trying!
you still there george?
yeah
somewhere!
hello me, where am I?? ha!
in Ibiza, for the week, short holiday--that's where
did you get that q?
no, not a chance, driving me batty!
George, it is not an unusual word , think of asking a question
why have you found it?? oh yeah, clever clogs!
Where is Ibiza? A long way from Aus I bet
oh yeah, stupid me!! ha! ta, got it!
where it's always been, in Spain!
I thought so. Is the weather in Europe still hot?
yeah, but it's gorgeous here -- hotel pool's lovely! took a late night swim before bed last night, another when I woke up! need this, been working too much lately and running myself ragged!!
We are about to get some rain, we have only had 5 rainy days since november can you believe
no way, that's it?!? in all those months??
What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?
oh a few things
rag trade, djing, and so on
Even so, the rain we had was very heavy on those days and our paddocks are green- it is the middle of winter and we have had blue skies the whole time with crispy nites
some photography
Hi George and Sandy. No, I didn't find that q word.
And darn it, I thought I'd changed my icon but it hasn't worked. Oh well *sigh*
oh I got it, thanks to sandy -- it was so obvious I just about smacked myself, ha!
hi hydra, think of a question
OH!!!! I've just seen it to. *smacks head*
yeah, ha ha!!
hydra when I change icons , I have to go out of babble completely then come back in
I did, Sandy. I've been gone for about half an hour!
George, where in Ibiza are you? My friend and I want to go next month.
hmmm, can't explain it then, and I am no computer expert
I must have done it wrong. Everyone had flowers or candles to show sympathy for jellen.
so george, I take it you photographed all the food in your Flickr
I had a nice candle but decided to change today to our peaceful farm shot
Is that where you live, Sandy? It's really tranquil and beautiful.
You know, I love rain so much, I can hear it falling on the roof, it is such a gorgeous sound and has such a lovely smell
Yes hydra, that is our back paddock and our new house will overlook it , it is wonderful and very near the city can you believe
Well it is 20 mins away
George, are you still there? Here's a good food blog with some inspiring photography. http://www.lilyandchew.blogspot.com/
Are you getting a house built, Sandy? You lucky thing! I have spent 18 months trying to buy a London flat and failing miserably. All you can get for £300,000 is a mouldy basement!
We have a house just 10 mins out of the city which we are just going to put on the market. that will get us out of debt with enough to build the new one (daughter is an architect, she is designing it
Let's face it Hydra , it is all about money - I have an idea of a house and so has my husband , Mine is a palace , his is a shoebox LOL
My friend's parents live in Perth and she visits every year. I'd love to go. How lucky to have an architect daughter. Mine is a tarot reader!
Wow , my sister reads tarots
Not for me tho, it is too scary
Really? Professionally? I do candle wax readings myself. Yes, it is scary.
She is a judge
no no she works for a judge in real life and does tarots on the side
she is not a judge I pressed the thing too soon
Here's my daughter's website if you have the courage to take a peek! http://www.psychicdevon.co.uk/Welcome. html
I have never heard of candle wax readings
I think my ideal house is halfway between the palace and the shoebox. And with a Mediterranean look. Vines and verandas.
Every time she reads for me, I am afraid she will find all my secrets LOL
That sounds lovely Hydra, that is about what I want
A friend's Russian mum taught me how to read candelwax when I was 11. You have a bowl of water and ask the person you're reading for to drip melted wax into the water and then I see shapes in the wax.
I always say that I am a sceptic, but hmmmm you never know....
As she's your sis, she probably knows hem already! lol
Where's George gone?
I will tell my sister about that one, she has also done faith healing- as I said , I am a sceptic but she did cure my sore feet once - so you never know....
I cured bad shoulders for two people just by streaming coloured light into them in my mind. Didn't have a clue what I was doing!
I try to keep an open mind about all these things because even tho I maintain that I am very scientifically minded, I have come across a lot that can't be explained
Let's email each other sometime, Sandy. I have to go now as I have a back massage booked. (Bliss!)
back, sorry, friend was at my door
ok will look forward to that
we're heading out in a bit
hmm to tapas and grappa?
George, I posted a link to a friend's food blog further down. It's worth taking a look.
LOL, now I must have a wine!
Pour one for me too, sandy!
George, here's that link again. http://www.lilyandchew.blogspot.com/
oh yeah, sorry, been trying to catch up, ha! to answer your question, hydra, Ibiza Town -- yeah, ta for the link again, interesting to see your in to the paranormal?
Now I really must *poof* off! Byeeeeeeeee......
isn't is too early there? lol it's definitely wine o'clock here
had a group for that, for a while, cos I had some strange things happen
I'm sure there's something in my house--well besides dust and dirt and all that!
oh well, she's gone eh? I must poof as well--heading out!
she has

yep, I kept an eye out for it...
and tried a few others just for good measure ; )
ok, must get to studying... later all - thanks for the help
got the fi , thanks very much
do you need anymore before I poof, sandy?
I'm from holland i don't understand many words :(
welcome lucie - we have other players from holland
and that is OK, I am from the US and don't understand some of these words - LOL
oke ;)
I must go, lucie, but make sure you read the help section for instructions, and when you get stuck, Lickety's Babble Clues, a link under the grid, will give you the first 2 letters and point value for all the words as clues
hope you get addicted and become a regular!
poof
Lucie, we have a well known babbler here from the netherlands who says she learnt a lot of her english from babble and now she is one of our best babblers
if I can help just ask
I guess im alone as usual
unless herin is lurking
no sandy I am here, but I need to leave in about 3 min for an appointment, so I am not really chattering. but Hi!
Hello Sandyloo I am sneaking in whilst at work lol:)
hi red, that's ok
hi Jean
So in theory am invisible if the boss walks in lol
LOL
hope you have a lovely evening, and I will see you all later. these early morning appointments must cease.
bye red
oh dear best look busy bye for now lol
bye
hi sandy
g'day jm , how goes it today
hot stuffy and it is only 6:15
we are having some rain tonight, we have only had 5 days where it rained since november
I adore the rain, it smells lovely, it sounds lovely , its like heaven on earth to me
yikes then rain is more than welcome!
I am a rain fan too -- rarely use an umbrella
the rain we had was very heavy on those days so our paddocks are green and the water tank is full
I definitely use an umbrella as I take great pains to keep my hair straight LOL
my hair always flies away so i don't worry
is washington DC south of new york on the east coast?
yes the joke about DC is that it has northern manners (bad) and southern efficiency (slow)
Ah we drove from Florida to the pochonos and there was not a leaf on a tree on the way up, but I remember that in Washington on the way back, there were cherry blossoms on the trees - it was gorgeous
and april drive then
or was it apple blossoms
the cherry blossoms are something for sure
about May I think
no cherry -- we are famous for the cherry blossoms
or late april early may...
there arethousands of cherry trees in DC
We have no real definitive seasons here like you do , it seems to go straight from Summer to Winter
I would love to live somewhere and see the four seasons
growing up in Texas we only had winter and summer
I love having seasons now
fall and spring are really special
I can relate to that, after seeing that in washington
gd morning everybody
hi ruby
sandy! jmc!
hi ruby, I will be emailing you soon, thanks for the photos
Jm, I have been in the snow but have never seen it falling, we have no snow here in west aus, that is for sure
ruby!
the mayor and two gendarmes just left
You are a celebrity Ruby,
checking on husband who is back to being his old nasty self. I guess that means he's recovering!
falling snow is magical -- i saw it really when I was 28
I'll be more of celebrity after I commit murder!
He has such a sweet face in that photo
it is good though that thye are taking it seriously
jm , did you not live where it snowed
when I lived in upstate NY, sometimes there were snowstorms with lightning and it was incredibly beautiful
old photo, sandy
no in most of Texas it snows once in a blue moon if that
My husband's aunt, lived in the Pochonos, where they say it was hot in the summer and snowed in the winter - how fabulous
it is actually not that hot up here to me most of the time
we are setting heat records this year
I loved it there, we saw the maple trees and they showed us how they collected maple syrup
but I like the poconos
very cool sandy
oops, I must be spelling it wrongly
lovely there, I went to grad school in Scranton, just north of the poconos
no you are spelling it right
I take it you have seen plenty of snow Ruby
yes indeed! I love snow but there is much less here now, then when we arrived 12 years ago
Ruby, you are funny, that photo cant be that old and the dog is beautiful
oh i see you added an H -- you see what you expectto see lol
OH, just had to jump in here. born and raised and schooled in Scranton. where did you do to grad school Ruby? Marywood? U of Scranton?
Ruby, you have two - ruby and ?
hi nurse
Hi everybody
hi nurse
Marywood (if Mary could), fine arts MA
grandparents were married in Scranton and had their first child there (in 1907
*giggle*
I remember we walked on Lake Walenpopak (?) it was frozen, I thought we would fall in
you walked on a frozen lake? I could never....
brave lady!
what is amazing is Lake Louis in Canada -- people cross county ski across it
I really was quite scared, but they told me I was safe, and I was
Small world! I graduated from Hahnemann Hospital school of Nursing not far from there. Then Wilkes, U in Wilkes-Barre. Love that HUGE! lake Wallenpaupek. crazy spelling!
Apparently, they water ski on it in the summer and skate on it in the winter
amazing that I can remember what it is called
that is correct Sandy. I think it is about 15 miles altogether -- as I said, huge!!
this place is magic, 6 degrees of separation all over again!!!!
Husbands aunt had a huge collection of hand cut american crystal, it was magnificent and she also had a polar bear skin rug with the head on it
and I might add she had a cook and a maid
nice aunt
very nice to have a cook and a maid!
WoW!! that was not common in those parts.
LOL she also had a moose head on the wall and stuffed chipmunks and squirrels LOL
Now that sounds more like the area there. LOL
I really liked her and she was a very interesting woman
stuffed squirrels and chipmunks!!! lol
One thing I found in America was that in every house they always had an american eagle of some sort (painting statue etc)
not mine sandy!
Nice to go back to memory lane.
I always look for it when I see an american house on TV
not mine, Sandy
until when did you live in Scranton, nurse?
Ihave no stuffed animals here (hmm one of our chooks is sick)
Until the 70's or so. moved down to outside Phila then to work in the bigger hospitals.
ah do you know about the Philly meet up?
I loved that part of the world -- lived in Binghamton for years, but couldn't earn a living there, had to move to NY
do you have a vet who tends to chooks?
I still go up there on occasion. family all came from there and my roots are deep there. Ruby, just read about Binghamton. My one cousin moved from Scranton and he lives in Montrose,Pa, very close to Binghamton. This is a small world this morning!!
Binghamton was a lovely town, on the confluence of two rivers
I read about it once _ Philly meet up __ and then didn't see anything after that when I was on.
(blanked the q's, ty scrabble)
i think the info is on dcseian's profile
you can find him in the rankings
I wish I could fly over! there's a direct flight from Geneva to Dulles!
I will check that out jmcnrick. thanks!
you should came ruby!
on my list of things to do today is to apply for a job in geneva
would love to get away from here!
45 minutes from my house, jmc!!!
i will remember that if i get anywhere with the job application!
half!
okay off to garden before it gets too hot (but too late already since it is already 80 (28 C)
wtg ruby
bbl *poof*
{{jmc}}
HI
i am back , just getting dinner
hi herin
Hi sandy
I am suprised you haven't heard my cursing about the idiot government
I thought I heard muttering in the background!
I would love to go to a babble meetup, but it is too far (sigh)
hello herin, do you need a hug?
herin, I thought you loved the government
half way between Australia and here -- Afghanistan??? hahah
ha
Tony Abbot was crapping on about how he would bring in an R 18= for PC games. Since the ground work ahs been done it isn't like he can wave his wand as PM and make it happen (MOrron) that and it already is in place in some retails to cover their butts
hi all, sandy, herin, ruby:))
Hi daycat, are you having some rain?
hello daykat!
Hi Day
oh herin, gather you're not a Mr Rabbit faan?
The guy is a douchbag
it looks to me like there should be a meet-up in Australia. Could we include some scrabblers too?
lovely rain sandy:)
yep yep and yep
Lynxx says he looks like a rat (and he does have a long face)
Didn't he fail as epically in ever role he had in the Howard Gov?
herin have you seen the getup ad with women quoting his comments over the years? very powerful
so Julia has a mean face, and Tony has a ratlike face
ferretface?
LOL
but Julia has red hair and I could almost forgive her her mean face
I remain on the fence
I feel quite ill when I think of Mr Rabbit as PM
Dont know who I will vote for
representing us overseas
shudder
Greens
I hated Mr Sheen , he was a worry, but Julia has done some things I like
esp in the upper house
see that twitch?? that is me
LOL herin
Mr Sheen lol havent heard that oine before
Failed as a Health Minister introduced Work for the dole, slagged of the beloved Berny Banton
is against the RU486 drug
is against just abt anything
I will have to start reading up on your politics if I'm going to have Australian friends.....
Ruby don't you will have a tanty too.
nah, enough trouble with in our hedge!
seriously ruby, our politicians are the same as everywhere. a bunch of lying, cheating B******'s
I just want to be friends with everyone Ruby
only in it for their own glory
sorry I will shut yp now
take my husband, please!
no no herin, I love a good soap box!
seriously, I dont know who I will vote for and I am sure that your husband has been unduly stressed Ruby, be patient
Ruby how is Mr Ruby?
this is a wonderfuldiversion for me!
but he has no right to take it out on me
rubes, is your husband still finding the whole dog thing difficult?
back to status quo ante, Herin!
My friend rattled my cage tonight. He said ''Abbott isn't in touch with our generation'' I was thinking HUH why again do I vote for you?
and he hates me
Ruby, it is hard when they are a bit old,they do get grumpy
very old!
herin, is aqbbott in touch with anyone really? I doubt it
LOL Ruby, he loves you and he knows how much you have helped him recently even if he doesn't show it
let's talk some more about Aussie politics!!!
rubes, I'm sure he doesnt hate you;0
Ruby is a stirrer
Day I think the only person he has been in touch with is his wife and that was only to produce the ofspring
say s that I don't do anything....nasty
how many offspring? poor little abottettes
Ruby. I am sure he doesn't hate you. I think he must be mighty frustrated and pissed off. It is time for you to speak to the nurse one on one.
hmm, herin and he has produced offspring elsewhere he has a love child I believe
At least Julia doesn't have that
(or does she?)
nurse and I had a talk and I also talked to his MD. He is charming with them and they don't see the "real" DH
he might also be somewhat traumatised by the whole thing, feel unsafe, his security rocked, PTSD all that sort of atuff.
*stuff
Ruby, herin is right in what she says, you must address that problem with the nurse, she will be there a lot
the nurse will soon be able to assess the situation
I'm sure that all of that is true and I'm trying to help him all I can, but he wasn't nice to me before and this certainly hasn't changed that! I promised myself that I wouldn't whine on the chat! Sorry, ladies!
hopefully he will recover in time, if not then intervention may be needed
rubes, not whining, isnt that what we do for each other?
Gillard doesn't have kids. BUT I am sick of her being attacked for that. Who is to say she can't have kids as opposed to not wanting or maybe not wanting as it isn't her path
you could insure him heavily and send him on another walk
hahah, sandy, he is uninsured!
Having kids is not the end all be all
Gillard is also being attacked because she admitted she was atheist - again unfair I think
Even I cannot see any logic in attacking her childlessness, that is totallyher choice and nobody's business
sandy, rubes, herin , there is something you can help me with, talking about having or not having kids
why does that become a political issue? Or the childlessness, too? I don't understand that
I can help, I have 4
OK, shoot....
my daughter - 34, married 2 years, has just been told she is unlikely to have children, she's upset ++ and I'm not sure how to help her
Day excuse me for asking is there a reason ?
my son (46) and his wife (41) have decided not to have children, maybe it's a political statement as she's an ardent vegetarian etc. My feeling is that, although it would be nice to have grandchildren, it is more important to have a good relationship with my son and it is not, after all, my onions(as the French say).
severe endometriosis, she has had surgery but no help
you can just be supportive and if she is upset, encourage her to talk about it
Has she seen a natropath?
day, my daughter is 36, unlikely to have any and another is nearly 40 and feels her biological clock ticking (she is a career person) I am sure that I dont know really, but I do point out to them that there is a lot life has to offer in other directions and they cannot be assured that they will have a perfect child
they have a very good life without children - he can pursue his music, she can sleep all the time (lol)
ruby, I feel much the same, grandkids would be nice, but there are more imortant things , like their health and happiness, and that they love each other
and you are so right , there is no such thing as a perfect child!
and I am too frail to carry grandkids around, anyway
no natropath yet
Indeed day , and if they are desperate, there are a lot of kids who need homes in the world -would they consider adoption
Ruby, you are not that old
my husband has 5 grandchildren and one great, and he knows none of them or has any interest, for that matter!
just tired
sandy, not sure. they're certainly not wealthy
Day honestly get her to a natropath
he is in contact with only one o children and that is tenuous, at best!
ruby, dont you so often hear stories like that! Having children/grandchildren is certainly no protection against lonliness
herin, what could naturopath do?
DH could be lonely in a room full of people (and in a house with me!)
A lot of kids are too idealistic these days, children are faced with huge problems in this society that we never faced (drugs, employment, expectations that are non achievable etc)
myson lives in TX, but we are in frequent touch and he comes here when he can. I am very fortunate
They can discuss a lot of issues.
sandy, true, but sometimes I wonder if every generation has said the same things
one moment please
Happiness does not come in the form of a baby - I love my kids and they are good kids but they have a lot of health problems and that is a constant worry to me that I can do without
Day: http://tinyurl.com/2bdksfy
I never decided to have a child, it just happened when I was married about 6 months and only 19 when I got pregs
I think my happiest time was in my 5-9th months of pregnancy and then for the first couple of years of son's life.
she will not see any of those issues as relevant tho , daycat, you can only be supportive and be as positive as possible
herin - thank you so much - I'll forward that url to daughter
son and his (odd) wife seem to be very happy together, Each is strange in his own way and they've been together about 14 years!
LOL, I thought you were going to ask us whether you should get preggers
its a bitty grid
that's wht I thought, too, snap sandy
yes I think you are right sandy, any decisions must be hers and her husband, who incidentally adores her, and I'm there to give her mummyhugs
hello carlee!
that's what mummys are for!
preggers? Me??? good lord, no thank you very much
my only regret is that I never had a daughter!
twice was enough
ha ha ruby, I thought I could have a daughter to dress up in pretty pinks, but she has always worn jeans!
good day all
morning.... amm bleary eyed watched the owl cam most of the nite
food question: does anybody know the beverage LABAN? Husband bought it by mistake, thinking it was milk, and I love it, but is it good for me. It is like liquid yoghurt....
hi carlee and sprite
hello Sprite
what is owl cam?
yeap...know it...yummy... u find right now cus is ramadan ....today first day of fasting
hmmm, Ruby, Googling Laban brought up stuff about contemporary dance - nothing to do with milk!
aaah.
http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox
is it good for the digestion?
http://www.answers.com/topic/laban-dri nk
yeap...it is watered down yogurt
nurse is Moroccan, but not observant, no scarf, TG!
hahaha...iftar in the grid too so funny
that is how to make it, with the ingredients
it's in the stores here, sprite, I just wasn't sure if it was a good thing to drink
years ago, I used to make my own yoghurt and then fresh cheese from it
that is why I found this for you. Then you know what is in it.
ty sprite
is it like yakult
i do that too ruby..make my own yogurt too
would be like a probiotic
like yakult
sanp sandy
daykat, I can hear the lovely rain falling on the roof
but eating decent yoghurt would be just as good for digestion etc, and probly nicer
it is wonderful that you have rain, sandy
does your heart good, eh sandy
yakult is different. That has certain bacteria that help your bowels.
I like this stuff, surprisingly
like Activia here, I guess
so does good yoghurt I thought
it sure does daykat, and hi sprite, I am meaning to email you when I get a chance
I think so, too, daykat
good yoghurt does most of that too, yes. Yakult contains a special kind of bacteria that is not in yoghurt.
I give the horses bran and chaff for their bowels, try him on that Ruby
will the desert flower?
brb
no no, it's for me.
Ruby, my icon is our back paddock
I need the brana nd chaff!
wonderful, sandy, looking forward to your mail :) But take your time, real life comes first :)
mix molasses with it and you will have a shiny coat
that is a beautiful photo, sandy!
hi peoples
and a tail, I hope, and run faster.....
bonjour, jean
hi jean
hi dJean
Ruby, it is just like that , its lovely
ruby how's your man?
I'm going to lie down now and, hopefully, dream about horses and sandy's pasture!
sandy that is so lovely
back to being nasty, so he must be on the mend! lol
Sprite, I'm glad you are understanding
always, dear sandy. *hugs*
and it is so green! I guess because you have your own water source
no, we have no water on that paddock , just good soil and 5 heavy showers of rain
*poof and big hugs* (it is amazing that it "greens up" so fast then; the horses must be delighted!
that is the paddock the naughty horse wants to be on all the time
I keep seeing trinity
back
I love the idea of a naughty horse......
bye daykat, see you later
I have 6 left (and I know it is a small grid) but it is the first grid I have not used more words on , lol just lickety of course
bye daykat
can someone give me a clue for ti5/12
Hello sorry i missed you Da
hi lady
I've just uploaded a view of my back yard too
oh beautiful, daykat
we are so lucky, have forest on our boundary
that is spectacular daykat
thank you:) its a view from our back porch
soooo peaceful
Hi Sprity
I ahve 27 left, and its sloooow
my big wish for livingspace is a quiet place with big trees/forest next to it, and a bit of water.
just in the middle of cooking dinner, that is a great photo daycat
6 is slower daycat
sprite, that was my dream , we just dont have the water- or enough water
how's hubby, sandy?
we manage with tanks and a dam but its a worry if we dont get enough rain
oh daykat, close enough still :) It is magnicifent
yes we love it
Hubby is brighter today sprite but I did cook him some creamy garlic prawns for an entree tonite
Daykat I have no idea about that link or that woman but have a look about on Natropaths. UNLESS the doctor says that there is just no way not a tiny way
(I am back and forth to the kitchen so please excuse if i dont answer anything
ooooooooh sandy can I come for tea at your house?
aw you are the sweetest, sandy. He'll get better every day with your care.
actually, they turned out really well, fresh shark bay prawns
herin, I'll certainly give the info to Clare - she can at least investigate and see what comes up
Sprite, I have told you about us aussie women - we are here purely for the benefit of our husbands
can't hurt and may just help
(looks around to see if lynxx is watching...)
sandy!!!!
hehehe sandy, yeah, and I know what lyn thinks about that
LOL I know my place
Day I don't take no for an answer.
there was a tragic case here in Perth just recently - a woman had chosen not to follow conventional treatment and pursued naturopathy instead, her full choice, sadly she died and her sisters took the case to court - the naturopath was soundly criticised by the coroner, as being "nonmedical"
set the naturopathic approach back decades I reckon
and I beleieve they can often be very helpful, when conventional medicine cant help, or as an adjunct to conventional medicine
we have lots of holistic treatments here done by medical doctors.
Day who is to say that the woman knew she was going to die and wanted to try something else. When did our right to live and how we want to live is someone elses decision.
agree totally herin, I was incensed by the coroners comments
nice grid today
sprite, I understand that in Europe holistic medicine is much more respected than here
hello carlee
hi sprite...sorry i've been buried and checkig the owlcam
I'm on to the re words now, I hate re words grumble
Good Morning to you all
it is and I think it is a good thing. Traditional and holistic healing should work together. Luckily, it happens more and more here.

Hi everyone. I'm in CA and have jet lag
hi bichon, Im in Perth and have food lag
got it sandy ty
I've been up since 4 AM and don't know how I'm going to get through the day
HI Bichon
Bye Spritee
hi, i'm in somerset and have relative lag
Hi Mummy. Bichon have a nap
I dont know what I have.....
Hi bichon
Not while taking care of a 3 year old who doesn't nap
bichon! Snap! I have been up since 4 am LOL
good idea, zzzzzzzz
Hi River Linking the pic of Keith
no 3 year olds here
hi mummy, where in Somerset are you? (used to live in Somerset a longgg time ago)
3year old & i year old are visiing a local tourist spot so I have a bit of me time on my day off
Bichon kids will nap if you take them to the park, get them high on sugar let them run mental then they sleep
thanks - just bought him that bike - he outgrew his old one and after what he went through -he deserves a new bike
Hi daykat, Street, where were you?
mummy I lived as a child near Frome, my dad's family were all Somerset folk
or feed them a very large dinner with some wine
herin, not this one. Tried and tested
he definitely deserves that bike river
oh, we have friends in Frome, my relatives were at Longleat yesterday to see the lions etc
Um then you are screwed. B.f is not allowed to mind his nephews any more. He returned them to his sister coming off a massive sugar rush
omg, we lived right on the edge of Longleat - before the lions were there
River, I'd believe the Boston docs
mornin babblers!
someone earlier mentioned 6 degrees of separation!
what;s Longleat?
hi eva
Longleat is an old English Lord's home and estate
Hi Eva
with lions?
Lord Bath I think
it's a nice area, and Longleat is still very popular. Do you get the BBC prog Animal Park in Aus?
havent heard of it
yes, ddeath taxes were huge and the gentry had to raise big $$$
yes we do
Lord Bath is a very eccentirc person, he has lots of 'wifelets' not sure if he is still married though
so they opened the parkland tothe public as an African wildlife park
in my day they just had deer
sounds like a day of fun, fun, fun. I'm taking the 3y y.o. to the library and out to lunch
I remember the rhododendrons
these days they have a childrens area with animals that can be petted, the house is open to view and they are constantly having new attractions like the Daleks and Dr Who things
have to go , thank you for a fun time and for your advice and help
Day take Care.
goodnight
poof
by daykat, catch you later
Mummy Daleks?
bye daykat
bye day and take heart
River your son looks pleased with his bike
We have a science fiction programme here, it started back in the 60's and it is about a Dr who has a Tardis (ie police box) and travels to different planets and meets all sort s of weird people/creatures/monsters, look it up on the internet! it's been on TV too long to try and explain!
He is a very happy boy - been riding every day - up to about 10 miles - slowly building his endurance again
Ihave to go to bed and do the last one tomorrow , bye everyone take care and have fun
good night sandy
I have to get to work before I get fired - have a great day all
herin, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw
Ok that was stupid of me. I know Dr Who and all that but why is it at the park?
mummy, we are very familiar with Dr. Who in the States
Oh, we love Doctor Who!

THat is ok. It is Winter here
herin, yes. hope you are keeping warm.
Trying to it is bloody cold

It has been cold this year
I wish I could send over the excessive heat we are having here in the US.
It is ok we haven't had a real winter
Phantom pretty trinity.
Hi Kaplan
Hi. I have 25 left but I think I have hit the wall.
Mayne I'll do Lickety later but right now, I have to get myself moving.

Is poking the same as monkeying?
yep
Then that's what I'm doing. I have to poke for 10 more 4 letter words.
i told myself i would leave at 8:00 but i can't let go
Hi Good

Hi GE, you need an intervention...LOL

fireworks
evening all! :) congrats annie!
mrp! how are you?
good thanks annie!! lovely to see you ! (hugs)
hello everybody
52 words before
((hugs))back to you, mrp. how is the arm and leg?
hi ruby, how are you? hubby feeling any better?
all doing well annie! am back to normal now and able to exercise and that makes me happy!
mrp ...that is wonderful news
hi ruby
that was a great fi clue from the chog! ty
hi ruby, how goes it. I'm in CA where it's so cold
I guess husband is getting better, he has been nasty to me all day. He communicates by e-mail and phone, otherwise silent treatment
why ruby? has this been an ongoing thing?
otherwise, it is beautiful here and the mayor came to see how husband is doing and to get photos of his wounds
ruby, This should not be.
yes, for quite a while but while he was injured, he started to be nicer. Not any more!!
you must really have a close knit village
that isn't nice ruby
hi bichon
no choices for me
O Ruby
Hi Mr P, glad you're feeling better
it's a very small village and really nice. The people are wonderful!
hey infern (hugs)
feeling much better all the time bichon :)
Met some Aussies on the plane out to CA, they asked how I knew they were Aussies.
Been to NZ and knew the accent wasn't from there
and you said......
hugs mr p
Told them I've watched lots of Aussies on TV
They were a jolly bunch
that is cute bichon... a lot of people mistake aussies for brits
((hugs)) infern
No way jose
I've only met Australians since I started playing on line (scrab and bab) but ruby loves aussies!!!!!
I thin the NZ accent sounds more like South African
Bichon were they Aussie Aussie or normal?
yes it does, bichon
Herin, what is that?
hahah, Herin, how do we make that distinction?
I miss NZ very much. Felt very at home there an it was so far away from everything, it was peaceful
what is normal?
Ok by that I mean out back like talking like Steve Irwin did or closer to English
I killed the chog,,,,sorry
I guess that is like asking about the accent
Certainly wasn't closer to English, but definitely not Steve Irwin, somewher in between
Normal then.
I have been watching a show on lifestyle channel... I nearly choked on my tea!! It is called 'Jerseylicious' and I didn't believe that the 'Fran the Nanny' persona was actually really from New Jersey
They dressed different, hard to describe. But loked like they were out to have a good time
Thanks Mr PRes cant think of words
But, there they were! larger than life, with hair, nails, accent and all!
It is really very amazing how different accents are in the states
mrp, i can assure you i was raised in nj (went to school in Ny and Philadelphia) still live in NJ and my hair, nails, accent are nothing like that! and i'm not the only one
hi dorens, I am sure you are not.
I was raised in NYC and I'll be damned if I'm giving up my Brooklyn accent
the funny thing is, i've learned to recognize the nj stereotype from watching it on tv, etc... don't see too many people like that where i live or where i grew up
bichon, LOL, I was raised in NYC, have lived in Brookyn for many years and I still have my Noo Yawk accent
I see it as a badge of distinction. Others don't
hi dorens!! (hugs)
bichon, down with the Others.
Hello all
how are you doing mrP? two days in a row is quite a change.... nice to see you back.
I think it is amazing the accents! luv it
hi mr bob
hi mr bob...... and mr P, when are you coming? still have a room or two for you here in Joisey (in the woods, actually)
I dont know anyone who says Joisey
i know, annie... so where did that come from?
In the Sopranos there certainly were
about accents: I grew up with a Queens accent but at Queens College, they made me take a semester of corrective speech and now I just sound "northeast"
Oh yes, LOL< the cast of The Sopranos
except in Fr where I have a NY accent that I can't hear
Really Ruby. We had to take speech, but it wasn't corrective, it was public speaking
oh Dorens! am so looking forward to coming over! I wish I had a firm date, but can't do it until Mark's work settles down
between them and the cast of "jersey shore" we're certainly looking horrible
I'm sure the French love to point it out to you
not a problem mrP, i am almost always here
it was a required course and they did a recording and made me go to summer school for my retracted aw and poor-quality r's
was going to france in december with son and granddaughter, but he says now it looks like the fares are prohibitively expensive
:) thanks Dorens
no, they say they like the accent! prefer it to the Brits!
I cant believe the Jersey Shore..they should call it Bensonhurst Beat instead
wow ruby! that is incredible!
I'm sure of that ruby
and that's why brooklyn accents are famous and queens accents aren't
The French and British have "history"
unpredictable, these French, but I love them!
airlines are a rort!
hahah dorens. On TV they just refer to both as "outer boroughs"
fatter
Hi Dorens
sorry.. wasn't even a word, tho
I think it's Edward Burns who has an accent that is dear to my childhood heart!
hi herin
maybe that's it and the fact that there aren't any Americans around here
I will make husband a martini to see if he'll stop his silent treatment. Otherwise, he's on his own for dinner
okay, have to start my day, anyone want a clue before I leave?
no.. thanks annie... but have a good one

YAY, MAMA!
wtg mama2
hI Moma and Everyone
NO I just wandered off again
Hiya, herin.
ty ..off for now ..have fun!
well, that didn't work! I said a few inconsequential but relevant things to which I got monosyllabic answers and he's toddled off upstairs. Im having my second vodka/blackberry smush down here with my friends!
with tortilla chips -- how bad is that? He's locked into his sad, lonely world
Did he accept the martini, ruby?
good morning everyone;))..that is sad indeed ruby
Hiya, Crossy!
nice tr clue, ty
howdy judi;)
he drank it, but wouldn't relent and have a conversation
So much for peace offerings.
I'm OK, though, life goes on.....
hi crossy!
and I'll make him a light dinner but not eat with him
sounds like a cold,lonely place to be..:/ se we shall keep you warm;)
(((MRP))
GASP! Mr. P! Long time no see!
maybe martinis aren't good peace offerings! It would work with crossy, but, unfortunately, he's not my husband ((loves crossy))
*don't tell elegant mrs. crossy)
That only proves that Crossy is easy.
hi judi!! (hugs) nice to see you!
uh oh
((HUGS)) back.
Night all I am falling asleep
lol,i ment to keep her warm in a friendship sense..common now ,just because the entire top half of the grid is x rated,lets not get carried away:))
I missed that part, crossy, but mrs. crossy could never be jealous of her steadfast and true mr. c!
{{herin}}
do not know about these women ,i tell you.....:)
I so need to sleep... will see you all later! give my luv to Jellen if you see her :) xox

Suprisingly easy grid... considering the monotony of T's.
I must depart. Real work beckons. Have a loverly day, all. *POOF*
Hello...
((jellen))
How are you today, crossy?
not too bad,how are you doing is more important..
you taking care of yourself as well?
I am okay...Tim's mom and step-dad just left
((Jane)) Wish I were there to give you a hug.
howdy scrabbs
And yes, I think I am taking care of myself...Plus, Tim's bro is here for a couple more days...
Hi, Scrabbler
ok,that is good,have some support around
And, one of my sisters is visiting next week...
Hi Crossy
One hour, one day at a time, Jane.
indeed
nite
oops
Plenty of food in the pb, crossy!
see what i get fro trying to walk and speak at the same time? lol
TODAY IS BACON DAY!!
lol
had to put it off cause bacon has gone up so much of late
it went on sale and crossy bought 4 pounds...
mmmm
now..i have a book here on the shelf somewhere...it,s 75 recipies for bacon...
So, will you ration it out or have a bacon festival?
i have to ration it out as 4 pounds in a single day would be too much even for ole crossy
hello jellen, I was just on the phone
wonder if i dare try..the bacon weave blt....mmmm
girlfriend commisserating for my day of "silent treatment"
Hi, ruby...I've been thinking about you and your hubby...
Burt must be feeling better, because he's totally back to his old nastiness and general ill-humor. Meantime, the nurse has to keep coming for more than 3 months!
Your husband's giving you the silent treatment?
poor ruby..my wife spends her days trying to get me to sshut the hell up before the cats walk out on us
he is incredibly nasty and mean. Lucky mee! Fortunately, this place is paradise and I have my garden and dogs!
Dogs are wonderful confidantes...
That is his usual behavior, ruby?
but, Jellen, The locals and the gendarmes have been wonderful. The may or of the village actually came here this AM, with two gendarmes, to see my husband and get his photos for the prosecutor
you are a strong woman ruby..my mrs would kick my butt out the door if i got like that
yes, scrabble, just the last 6 months or so
he's 84, what can I do, set him on the side of the road with the trash?
indeed
I don't think I'm so strong, just pragmatic
my father in law and your guy are of an age and he is the same way as well
i just hope my books and babble keep me from getting the grumpies if i make it that far
Ah, 84--perhaps depressed? Men react with anger when depressed. Will he have that assessed?
I made this choice, after all, so can't blame anybody
Is there no one who could persuade him to get some psychiatric help? When my mom had Alzheimer's, I could get her to do things my dad couldn't...
mm..crossy wonders if he can gum bacon ok if he gets to his 80,s with no teeth...might pose a problem...
the problem is that his depression is of long standing and he doesn't admit it. And he is charming to his Md, toe the ER people and to the nurse. So when I bring up the ssue, they probably see me as the shrewish wife!
has all his teeth, lol
You could puree the bacon, crossy...
good then,but there are bacon smoothies,so im ok anyways;)
he doesn't believe in psychoanalysys or in psychotropic drugs! denial denial denial
crossy loves drugs..thats me,an arm out and a leg up...lol
funny, you don't look shrewish! hahah
I have to keep my sense of humor and the babble chog is very helpful!
Such a difficult situation, ruby...
crossy puts on his fools hat for ruby;))
Ruby, ignore HIM when he is rude. Walk away. You deserve better.
jellen, you are my heroine for handling the most difficult situation! I am coasting along here in paradise and even if he is miserable, I'm still OK!
I've been walking away for the past few months, since he has become more phsycially aggressive. He doesn't quite hurt me, but is coming close. If he even hits me, then I'll call the police, but for the moment, I don't think he'd dare.
ever*
love crossy fool's hat!
and thank God for friends and family, even if everybody is far from here.
Keeps me sane (is this sane?)
mixi play lively march on piano for rubyfoo
I had a husband a bit like that Ruby and I was taught to think to myself thats not my problem thats HIS problem'whenever he moaned about something and it did me the world of good - saved ME from a breakdown
Sanity is over-rated, imho
Hi, Deeha
amen, deeha!
Hi, mixi
saw my f.i.l slap my m.i.l on the back of the head cause he said she was making too much noise in the kitchen,,i pulled him aside and told him that if i ever saw him hit another woman,i would pick him up and toss him out the door overhand just to see if his scrawny body would bounce
Hi Mixi & Deeha
Hi Jellen.
ruby is dancing to mixi's lively march and wearing crossy's fool's fat!
Good for you, Crossy!
lol!
Hi folks. And you never looked lovelier Ruby!!!!
crossy: I'll send you a ticket!
lol,ruby sounds fine
*chuffed* deeha
now I'll go, like an Aussie perfect wife, and make him his dinner. But I won't sit with him.
pity c-li6 isnt a word. It sounds like the description of dogs toenails on lino!!
*poof*
uh oh!!..it is time...it,s been too long!!...crossy..is....gonna streak the chog!!!...fwappa...fwappa...FWAPPA!... ...
hahahahaha
Bye, ruby

mixi covers eyes. tell me when crossy quits...

i still have my hat on...
I must go, too...have errands to run today...(((hugs))) to all!
there's a great scene with naked fellas running around in the woods!
{{loves jellen}}
bye Jellen. (((hugs)))
Bye Jellen. Take care of yourself.
((jellen))
{{scrabbler}}
{{[crossy]}}!!!
I feel much loved...*poof*
crossy gets dressed again...
you definitely are!!!
and was worth it to get a single smile from jellen in her difficult time
oh good, crossy got dressed.
When last comes to last, I have little power: I am merely an urn. I hold the bone-sap of myself, and watch the marrow burn. When last comes to last I have little strength: I am only a tool. I work its work; and in it hands I am the fool. When last comes to last, I have little life. I am simply a deed: an action done while courage holds: a seed.
Thats lucky Mixi we wouldnt want an old chap like him to catch a cold would we??!!!
lol
omg what did I just miss??
just ne streaking the chog
Crossy was undressed..lol
no we wouldn't Deeha, lol

hey they loved it Crossy...you need to do that more often :-)
yes,in all the wrong places;0
so enable accepts cunt other words but not clit?
lol...well yes ..errm...right ok
it allows bottom burps as well!!
guess cunt is a full word while clit is a partial
afternoon - I missed nudity?
who is it that says enable is a misogynist?
Yes Crossy was streakingin the chog
apparently .. hi nance
well it should allow the 'c word' - it's a very old word. a favourite of shakespeare's!
DO NOT DEFEND ENABLE crossy!

LOL.Crossy
*incensed look*

Hello, NB
nb;))
I did the mtn climb! 15 miles in 14 hrs. We started at 0550 (40 degrees F) and returned at 1950. Th temp was 44 at the summit. Was 64 in sunny area on way up. Good hiking conditions.

Sounds like you had a great time then Scrabs.
{{{cousin}}} ((all)) good morning/day/evening!
YAY mixi!
14 hour hike..the feet must be singing a tune today
Hello Stid :-)
is jmc still around?
It was a test of endurance. We were exhausted + in pain but forged on. The view was awesome as we were at the highest point of the state and could see 360 degrees--Adirondack Mtns, Lake Champlain + Green Mtns of Vermont.
howdy stiddles
very wonderful, scrabs
jmc is mad at crossy cause i defended enable;((
the views must of been breathtaking Scrabs.
The last few miles were tough---quadriceps (thigh muscles) + knees were screaming. Whole body was tired. We used trekking poles so the upper body was aching too.
too bad you did not have a video camera,you chould of shot the summit and put it on you tube for us
afternoon all. :)
Yes, zoom, layers of mtns + lakes in between.
howdy eva
Hello, Eva
thats a good idea Crossy
One of the leaders took video--might be posted.
Hi Eva
sounds exhilarating, Scrabs, I used to climb mountains, I miss it.
i am not finding these `L`s i only have four of them...which is rubbish
I am pondering becoming a member of the "46-er Club" = those that climb the highest 46 mtns in the Adirondack Mtns. All but 4 are over 4000 ft.
i only have 3 so far zooz,but i do have the li 6
li6 = rubbish, zoom, haha
Rather you than me Scrabs...only as my back would not be able to handle it.
add sometime vowel to end a couple
yeah the li6 is the one i also have :-(
li4 a covering for burns
We were in much pain the next day--painful muscles, we moaned with every movement.
yaa got the li 7
hi hi
oohhh...do share Crossy
There are two spellings of the liquid measure also 'fluff' and 'fluffy!!
Hello Wildcat :-)
TY for li5, Deeha
many thanks Deeha ;-)
Hello Friends!
and the sometimes vowel to li6 which is what the citiots do when they come to my place

Hello, Red!
Hi Red!
re6/18: what you do when you can see through your windows too clearly, you re6/18 them to make them darker
true, i DO have babble. but my brain gets tired... may pull out the kindle + read for a bit...
Nice one msideb01..many thanks.

ah, thanks, wildcat! :)
sorry, wandered off again...
Morning Stid!
Hi Stid, and all otehrs I missed.
I haven't either eva
np..Stid
morning all ... oh blast. Here's Mother, for our day out. *sigh*
brb
hi stid and stidmom
you know all these candles look really pretty.
they do indeed
I agree NB..they do
they do look pretty
gotta drag myself to a meeting at work (ugh) bbl
Bye for now WildcAT
Bye Wildcat
bye wildcat....
Mother says hello!
tc wc
hello mom
lol
Hello!
I am officially discouraged!
why python?
I have applied for 30 jobs and dropped off another 28 resumes and still no job
*spies NB and assumed cuddle position*
hey car, now it is my turn to run away... (((hugs and choclits for all))) *extra love for python*
Oh Python! How disappointing!
thats suck pythonx
during my last hiatus,i,put out 66 resumes in the first week9thank god for open office and printers!!)
(hug)
*poof*
if you do not have it yet,download the freeware program called "open office"
what does it do?
it is so easy to use..unlike bill gates office product
it is a full office priogram
most of the jobs I have applied for only let you send by email or fax, so I don't have to print those
i already have ms office
Python...what field are you looking in?
you will see whe n you load it,it is very handy and microsoft office can read it no problem,so you will have no problem sending resumes via the net
i'm looking for clerical work, i have 9 yrs experience, plus just finished a course for medical office assistan
crossy just does not care for ms office
Python...just a thought...I do medical transcription from home. It may be something you can do to tie you over.
doesn't help that my city has the highest unemployment rate in the country
paython,here all the big factory jobs are gone and we now fight the university students for jobs..many of us hold down 2 or 3 "Mcjobs" to pay the bills
car, i have thought about that.. but not sure how to get into it
do you have to purchase software or equipment to do it, Car?
the days of the 25 dollar an hour jobs are long gone..heck they are even laing off in medical,so what they do is hang around and try and fill in when those who still have jobs take their vacation
i've never made 25$, i'd be happy with much less
The industry and equipment has changed a lot since I started. All you need now is a foot pedal with a USB hookup and headphones. The company you work for generally provides the software you need. There are several companies online, just google medical transcription at home.
the hospital came in 400,000 over budget,so 5 nurses had to go and now they are just floaters
okay, thanks car.eeyore
i took some transcription training at school
hope it works out for you pythonx
thanks zoom
what about in the court system?
savings account is getting mighty small
savings..what is this? lol
crossy, i have applied for every job i am qualified for and many that i'm not
i am sure you will latch onto something
yeah, daughter starts college in sept. so that will be the end of the savings
biab,must go hose down this mass of muscle..semi-poof
Bye Crossy!

and welcome! since I was out of town when you came
today, i am quite tempted to put the following note on the kitchenette microwave: dear fish-eaters: please enjoy your nasty-smelling fish at home and do not heat it in the office microwave. it stinks, and i now want to vomit. sincerely, me.
harsh evan
seriously, though, dont people know that its an unwritten rule that you dont heat fish in a communal microwave?
now i feel all icky and its putting off my lunch. which is fish-free.
i didn't know that but I don't eat fish for lunch
Have a cup of tea
it probably did not cross their mind Eva
how about a note that says: Please do not reheat fish in the microwave as it leaves odors behind
I had a neighbor when I lived in an apt. she cooked fish every fri. she lived across the hall from me and all night my apt smelled from fish. I understand how you feel
hmmm bet she was catholic!
peri -- we had similar neighbors. thankfully, they moved out before we felt the need to mention it to them...
i do enjoy fish,but it is probably not a good idea to reheat the kippers from your breakfast at work
lol probably not crossy
in every office i have worked in, there has always just been an understanding that you dont heat certain foods with pungent odors. those are better saved for home.
ti5/12 pls
help with the R in the corner please
before or after the ti5/14?
some people are oblilvious Eva
what bothers me are the dished heavily laced with curry
to attempt again: RE5
to color again: RE6
I LOVE curry
*smack* ty evan
crossy, i am sensitive to those too. but seafood is my nose's nemesis -- its a big part of why i dont eat much seafood.
YW jmc
before ti5/14
to make a knot again: RE5 past tense: RE6
before ti6/18 too?
yes

jmc, it's a babblet... like the opposite of "out of" but a vowel is switched
come join me in my watching my newly gained Fireworks
ty mside -- boy you caught on to babble grammar quick
i have waaay too many ti,s left;(
well I dabbled in babble before, and now that I have a 9-5, I upgraded to pro and I'm on much more frequently... probably contrary to what should be happening
i should ask dr_god if i can work for him as a beta tester for the new babble,then i would have best of both worlds;0
nothing is contrary to what should be happening as far joining babbleland
that'd be sweet... I mean, it's not really work if you enjoy doing it
if you work at what you love,you will never work a day in your life;0

Hello again, abble buddies.

Hi, Scrabbler
Got the envelope from feather....I am speechless!
Yay! I was wondering when it would arrive.
*crying now*
I wish we could all be there with you.
Awww Jellen. So glad we could do something for you.
I am fine, Scrabbler...
Hi Scrabs. Congrats on your BIG hike!
It was a long haul for Tim + you.
Jellen ~ So glad you are letting people be with you. I'm sorry I didn't contribute. Found out too late and then was too retarded to figure out how to use paypal. Anyhow, my thoughts are with you and so is my heart.
Judy, I still cannot believe that I did it! 15 miles over 14 hrs, with scattered breaks, including 45 minutes at the summit.
You are awesome Scrabs. You have to be proud of that accomplishment.
It was the most difficult physical test of my life. We were VERY sore on Sunday--moaning with every movement--but ok by Monday.
Very proud of you Scrabs! :)
I will get around to posting pics soon.
Thank you Minski...had to step to the door for a bit...
I'm planning on visiting my 85-year-old aunt in February...need to start working out so I can keep up with her...she walks at least 4 miles a day, lol...

I gave up and sent him a mail that was not the nicest but said I do not want to pursue a relationship with you.
Oh I've just read that on facebook - seriously it's time to be brutally truthful as the kinder approach does not seem to be working
Please note...I am not normally a harsh person, but in light of the date and the continued messaging....
It is Sooo painful.
oh, I think I missed this - why was the date so disastrous?
I am sorry Red. No fun at all.
some people never seem to get the hint.
i dont know about the date but if he was a jerk then you should see him
oops not see him - sorry
Well, he got very touchy feely kissy at the end, and Actually I found it all a bit much for me, plus the calling me daily, emailing....
I once emailed someone to say I didn't feel the "connection", it was that or FO so I went the connection route
Kazzer, that is too funny!
lol
Katie! I should have used the Connection!
I had to email his sister too ( my friend) to apologize for dumping her brother, never had so much trouble after one date before....
he doesnt babble does he?
Yeah, Red, that is just too much for the beginning of a potential relationship!
I thank you all for listening!!!!!
it's not me!!! I swear!
lol
If he behaves like that she must be used to him being dumped
HARRRRRRY!!!!!
;)
so you say harry, so you say!
one date..should not require Dumping!! this guy is to be avoided BIG time
you have been found out Harry..lol
Hi Harry! I know it isn't you...
You I would probably find rather appealing, in a mysterious way...
i don't even have the energy to climb down the stairs, never mind go on a date
LOLOL.
i love your icon harry
hahaha
ty red - I welcome any ego massage :)
He was nice, and all, but a little too grabby.
Massages Harry's Ego a little bit more. How is the weather in CT?
must go time to feed the hub with raaspberries
humidity is supposed to break this pm
we had a bat in our bedroom for 2 days
How did you tolerate the bat in the room for 2 days? My Mom used to shut the bats and the cat in one room, the next morning we always were bat-less...
Bye Kazzer
you should try working where I do Red...grabby? You don't know the meaning of the word 'grabby' ;)
first night I thought it flew out the window...then he's flying around again the next night, shut him in the bathroom, and put him in a box the next morning, to take him to the lab
the bats and the cats! oh rats!
laughing with NB, I can only imagine. when I worked in a bar you could still smoke and I never went out glass collecting without a lit ciggie in my hand which was an effective deterent
Hey all! loved reading red's date rehash
gotta go get the kids up from tehir naps. bbl to wrap up last 21 and list
lol Katie! glass collecting here is like running the gauntlet ;)
afternoon all - looking for my last 3. Any clue for the AT 7?

You back againg, Charlie?? Good to see ya!
HOW is the emeralsd isle today?
ty
hey, Soodle :)
am geting addicted lol
Absolutely glorious. Just back from walking that nutter of a dog..... I'm worn out!
no saving you now charlie
lol
thanks for the at7 clue all! was all around it but couldn't get there.
Hiya Nance. The 'trip' approaches......
Soodle, I am reading Tana French's 3rd novel.
How are you finding it Scrabbs?
Hmmm hm, 9 days now :S
think Im gonna have to pay out some cash to join officially
well worth the cash
I love the way she writes. I read her other 2 books in June.
How long will you be gone for, Nance?
You gotta do it Cheeky!
lol
how much is it to join...in pounds sterling...anyone please?
Oh, only 10 days - depending on how the family reacts to my sudden return from the dead, that'll be either not long enough or ten days too many ;)
hey scrabbs, and Hi Cheeky! you will love going Pro. THe Pound is pretty strong to the dollar right now.
I don't think it would br much more than a tenner, Charlie. Money very well spent!
Back again...had company...
ooh, I can't remember how much it was in sterling, now...how much is it in dollars?
$14.95
thanks red and soodle, i'll join tommorrow morning
Hi Jellen
ty champ
NancyBoy. Will you be told????? You will light up their lives. And if you don't, they are not worth the trouble. Either way - you come up smiling!
Hi Jellen {{{{{hugs}}}}}
That works out around £9.50, Charlie!
Your family will allow a visit, NB? That is good.
Hello Jellen. I love your FB tribute to Tim. Thank you for sharing.
awww, thanks Soodle :) I hope so!!
thanks NB
Ah no Scrabbs, this is the family in Korea - they think I'm dead, so they don't know I'm coming. But I am...in 9 days!
you're welcome :)
are you going to let them know you are alive before you turn up?
Red, would I be right in guessing your date was not quite a match made in heaven?
Charlie - I joined over 4 years ago, great value for money lol
He just sent me another message. The date was alright, but the obsessive follow up is annoying and frankly a bit scary.
Nope, pretty much just going to turn up on the doorstep - I don't think they'll believe me otherwise. News of my 'death' came from my parents - as far as the rest of my family is concerned, they have no reason to lie.
cool Katie, I will defo join up tommorrow
nancy, when do you go?
Charlie, it took me almost a year to join, I wish I had just done it earlier, I love the icon themes and such...
the 20th, Red! Hence, I am beginning to flip out a little about it :P
is there many to choose from Red?
Red, yes, his behavior is worrisome.
where r u living now NB?
Well the icons, you can upload anything you want, I usually choose from google images.
Currently in London, Charlie :) my parents moved to England from Seoul when I was five
charlie you can upload any photo to be your icon, however sprite posts themes every day and you can change it to match the theme
Is there anybody here (or on Planet Earth) who hasn't heard that my daughter won us a 3 night break in a luxury 4 star hotel? I have been crowing about this since the weekend.... We check in on Sunday....I CANNOT wait. Spa, massages, 4-poster bed......
Nancy, I htink it will do you a lot of good. I hope you will be able to update us here about your trip...
Wow, Soodle! What a special prize!
cool NB, n ty katie
just try and stop me, Red ;)
Your daughter is amazing!
Whereabouts are you, Charlie?
Have fun!!
Soodle, the update here is that MY 15 year old has NOT won anything. I'm excited for you! You'll have so much fun!
I really wished I hadn't just had my evening snack of an orange and a low fat yoghurt. this is for two reasons 1) I would LOVE some chocolate and 2) I obviously didn't get all the chilli off my hands when making the salsa and now my lips are stinging like mad
Very Nice Soodle..sonds as though your gonna have a great time there
I know, I am soooooo excited! Its the sort of place that I am normally found peering in the windows of, with my nose pressed up against the window, drooling...
soodle that sounds fantastic, I was away at the weekend so hadn't heard
Ouch, Katie
awww, Soodle! well I hope you have a lovely time
I just returned from the mountains last night.
fritty
Do NOT try that word.
lol!
Ah. Scrabbler was in the Fritty Mountains!
lol
Or was the weather fritty in the mountains?
Adirondack Mtns--my favorite place to be.
Oh scrabbs you know by now we would ALL have typed it
Oh, my...Tim's bro is leaving NOW...I thought he was leaving Friday...
Go give him a big hug Jellen
Uh, oh, J, why the early departure?
Oh, poor Jell...
Don't know...maybe he just feels awkward alone with me...
Is it too painful for him to stay in town?
Maybe so...
it could be that he just needs some time on his own Jellen
When will you resume your business, Jellen?
Focusing on deep breaths right now...
Oh Jellen I wish we could help more
It's HIS choice, J. Not you.
People experience grief in VERY different ways.
Virtual hugs and deep breaths being sent to Jell....{{{{}}}}

I think I am going to have to go to McDonalds. i am very hungry, it will do nothing good for my cholesterol.
Bye Scrabbler.

Well, I was doing okay...and I will be okay again...
or I mean REDt
Hi, GE
!!!! Red made me do it!!!!
hi GOOD
THe calorie burning thing says I burned about 800 cals today with exercise, i hate reeat it all...
Hiya GE.
katie i just read about your burning snack...
jell, were u both at home together?
No, we were at the hospital
a few years ago my brother and his wife grew chiles, dried and ground them. only discovered later that night that they hadn't washed their hands thoughly enough. she was especially uncomfortable if you get my drift!
i'm going to sit here sobbing about my healthy snack with burning lips while you all get your McDs
at least together ... my aunt whom just pasted, her children were at her side ... please be strong, think about what they would want you to be
Oh man katie, I should have a salad...
LMAO Good!! I did once put in my contacts after chopping chillies, I have never been in such pain!
red, if you were in Philly PA, I'd offer you a steak sandwich
I'm ok, I get this way when I start to run out of groceries.
ooh now that's not funny katie
I did have a salad today made from my very own tomatoes, lettuce, rocket and spring onions, and the chilli burning my lips was home grown. So as I lose weight I can be proud of my achievements lol
has anybody made apple fr7/40 lately? They were my daughters favourite snack when she was young
Ohh, I should...
OMG, Good, Your poor sister in law.... brings a whole new meaning to 'Hot Stuff'.....
I think that would have been more painful than the contact and would have gotten much less sympathy
lol
Red, going to McDonalds and ordering a salad is like going to a brewery and ordering a lemonade. Its just not right!
going to mcdonalds is not right full stop!!
but soodle, it is a better choice than the big mac .... at least i'd not be feeling that guilty
too true soodle, I'm trying to go a month without eating one, I do this one day at a time!
my worst mcdonalds moment was waking on a beach in Honolulu and discovering that McD's was in the town in the early '70s
hi all! help with upper i?
hi M9
Hi, m9
have you seen super size me??
I'm actually not a McDonalds fan at all, but sometimes the urge overtakes me.....
oh no Crumble is climbing into Bry's weekend bag whilst Custard looks on I feel a fight coming on
Hi M9
Aiden says McDonald's is trying to impinguate the world!
the only good McD's is the franchise you could have bought in the early '70s
Ew, M9, yes! And yet people ask me why I'm a vegan...
M9 upper I is IN plus ...think of it backwards. Slightly cryptic.....
Made my girls watch Supersize Me. That was interesting. I just kept looking at them, saying, "See???? I don't make this stuff up!!!"
thanks soodle!
LOL champ!
Custard and Crumble. What great names. I met 2 dogs out on my walk this evening, called Benson and Hedges.
how about mad cowboy?
Rhubarb is upstairs sleeping

Hooray for Katie

awww, there is a lot to be said for taking in strays - of our two kitties, one was a stray and the other is a rescue. Can't think why anyone would buy a dog or cat from a breeder...so heartless.
having trouble with monkeys today
yay katie! well done.
YAYAYY! Katie!
hey..I'm over 1/2 way..didn't even notice
When I was growing up, all the kids had dogs, whose names changed daily. We all went through a phase of calling our dogs after American detectives... There was Starsky & Hutch, Ironside, Petrocelli, Cannon, and loads more. Looking back on it, it was so funny...
hey nancy!
leaving for the neglected jobs board, haven't been on since Sunday, hoping for a good one, saw a shooting star on the Garden State Parkway this morning, hoping it was a sign
I cant think of the name of the US detective who wore a disheveled mac, and had a wonky eye.... can anybody help?
columbo?
I am talking 70's here, so you youngsters will be of no help...
good luck weiik!!!

Keep your eeeeeyyyeeee on the sparrow~!
Bye, Katie

Joey, just read your profile. So glad to 'meet' you!
going to list with 37 left... can't hog the computer iwth monkeys
When I was growing up, the old Batman used to be shown on Irish TV on Saturday evenings. Whether we were dirty or not (!), Saturday evening was bath night. After our baths, all the kids on the road used to stuff our bath-towels down the back of our necks, hop up on our bikes, and trundle up and down the road, going 'Da-na, da-na da-na BAT MAN..... Oh, those were the days............
thanks Soodlebum
Not that we were addicted to TV, or anything........
Oh no. Memory lane killed the chog....
we're all thinking of old shows...

Herin, your GOOD, thanks so much.

Well, that should have been 'you're'. Sorry
telaportation would be nice
i really don't want telepathy. any of the other two would be great, but telepathy would truly suck more often than not.
Thanks to you as well, Anniebrook.
youre welcome, brb
Yes to that then I could zip around the world
if you could do telepathy on demand it would be nice, especially if the receiver didn't know who it came from! (evil laugh)
LB that is naughty
yeah, i know. but i have a few customers i'd like to tell off!
It is mighty cold here and don't want to go outside
bundle up warmly and make sure you have on good gripping shoes!
I surprised this little girl on the weekend. She was being a little pest and kept harrassing her brother about how she wanted the table and how he took her spot. So I got up pushed the table next to her closer to her and said 'There you have a table'' Made the mums day as you could see the mother was about to strangle the pair of them
May I please have a clue for re5-14?...it's the last one for this grid....thanks

Hey there, HH, where in the world have you been hiding? Thanks for the clue...back at the flip.
been bat chasing
whoooo hooooo PEACH!!
and sleeping when I can
congrats ga
GA to give something another go.
Sorry Didn't see Harrys clue
nice candles
I guess good bats are hard to find, eh?
Harry it is our way of saying we are thinking of Jellen
well this one was in my bedroom
Thanks to you as well, herin.
nice
Did you ever catch it?
yup...but then had to give it to a lab to test for rabies, and unfortunately I think they kill it b4 testing
Shouldn't you get someone to get this bat as I thought they had rabies
well it came up negative....phew
wasn't looking forward to the shots for my kids
Good.
Harry you don't want the neighbours dog to go Cujo do you?
never saw that ti5/12 before
cool word
it's usually just a blood sample to test for rabies
not sure - but 1) they might need a brain sample and 2) they probably don't relish the idea of getting a blood sample from a live bat

hi/gn lbd!
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
HELLO - I know I logged on and disappeared - computer malfunction
hi River ;)
(((Pini))
I've been experiencing internet malfunctions as well.
I'm getting rid of Comcast and signing on w/Frontier
so what have I missed this glorious evening
We got rid of comcast years ago because of the cost
Not sure Riverdance, as I just entered chog myself.
I'm experiencing sleep malfunctions...does that count?
I entered only moments before min...
absolutely - any malfunction will count - cyber, sleep, sex....., whatever
* snicker *
I am paying 45.00 for internet with Comcast.When I switch over to Frontier, I'll only be paying 21 dollars.
never heard of frontier...
comcast is rather expensive (I have it, too)
we have our local phone company digital service - works just as well for less
qwest didn't work for me and I don't have a house phone anymore...just a cell
My Cable through comcast is 167.00 a month and we do not even get all of the movies stations. Plus cable and internet keep having outages.I so hate Comcast
its after 11pm and got to get up at 5 am - quick hello and got to go - haha
I had never heard of Frontier either 'til I moved here
night River ;)
lowser min.......
I know what you mean, min...but I don't have any other choices around here
Goodbye Riverdance! I will see you tomorrow maybe.
Pini, are you on the east coast US
west coast, river
good night babblers
nighty night
Don't have much of a choice either. I want to switch to dish network, but they do not carry YES network and hubby has to have his Yankee station. *snicker*
luv you anyway pini
good night all - poof
thx river!

YAY JILL!!!!!!

how was the get-together today jill?
Hi all, Hey Stid, Hiya Jilli!! got 22 left, meeting went way longer than I thought....
man, a LOT of fishies once I grabbed the list!
we had a lovely time and fish and chips and made plans
go jilly go!
ah! plans! good to hear!
still coming down, I hope?
Hey guys, anyone spoken to Jellen? or know how she is, my heart really aches for her.
Jellen's a brave one -- she's been here today and posted an obit in FB.
I haven't really been online today jilly, sorry.
at7/28 anyone?
jilly, when something is lost due to lack of interest... it ends in -ion; but this is more like the adjective form of the word
at + borning, overworn
Thanks stid, not friends with her on FB, but harpjane is and I'll get it from her
*I mean boring...
or hackneyed
thanks jilli, @stid: I see she put a link on her account
on facebook, she posted tim's obituary on her feed; no memorial is planned, donations in his name to the melanoma.org (melanoma research foundation)
Min's not waiting around for me to show up and finish, is she?
I haven't seen harpjane in ages... is she doing okay? I think we are just on at different times.
*counting seconds so I can enter my last wurd*
Yes, she's been busy. Played music with her last night.
Congratulations jillibus on fireworks! Hooray for you!
hey Min!
Hi Minv!!
Hello to all who entered while I was on FaceBook. I'm back if anybody needs clues. I finished not long ago.
thanks for letting me know, jilly -- hope the music went well!
YAY Min!
and now I am done also.
I think it's funny that jilly and I chose the same candle picture!
Ya, hope it's not like wearing the same outfit to a party...lol....just shows our good taste, and all of them show are care for Jellen.

go jilly go!
Congratulations stidmama on fireworks!Good for you
and that is true, it's okay to be twins or better at times like this.
Good job stid!
thanks Min. Hope your week is going well so far?
Yes stidmama, I am enjoying my time off. You would think I'd be here on Babble all day since I'm home,but life gets in the way and I'm still busy. Didn't get here until after dinner tonite.Glad it was a small one today
yes, I am the same way -- for some reason I never manage to accomplish as much "resting" as I intended on my days and weeks off! LOL
I'm using my time off to do things I do not have time to do during the school year; i.e. car and dr. appts, cleaning, quality time with dog, other odds and ends.
yep. especially quality time with the dog...
I seem to work harder on my days off than my days on the job!!
Yes, definitely quality time w/the dog!Forget hubby!
my poor puppy didn't have much time with me today -- Mother and I took the elder stidkid to the Seattle public library ... the downtown one. It's GORGEOUS. and HUGE.
Every day I tell myself I am going to start the puzzle early,but then next thing I know my day has flown by
They only way I can start grid early is if I start @ flip
I'm off to get into my PJ's and a midnight snack. BBL!
Okay, for you all on the east coast with heat and humidiity; they just mentioned the dreaded "s" word for tonight in our higher elevations....
yep, I am much the same way. *sigh* but soon I won't be able to stay up until flip... I will have an 8 pm bedtime so I can get up at 5 and leave the house by 5:30 to get to the school I am teaching in by 7:30 every morning...
hi all. 20 left. any good clues out there? no list yet.
eek! that's a bit early, isn't it, jilly?

oops just got it with monkeys
stid, we plan to take the Coho ferry leaving Victoria at 3 pm. When do you think we'll arrive at the Little Creek?
pretty late, well after supper then.
ahhh GOT IT!!
how long does the drive take from Port Angeles?
need last de 5 please.
2 hours minimum should be expected. I always try to allow 3 to get to the ferry from here.
last de 5: a god
stid -- are the others staying at the Casino too?
ty got it.
That's longer than we thought today, stid.
fi 5 please.
We may have to rethink the ferry time. Will contact Bugsaw.
most of the others who are coming are going to be here just for the day -- pinikula and jmc I am not sure when they will arrive.
pini and jmc are coming for at least a couple nights.
9 left
If all else fails, we have a BIG backyard and a tent.... LOL
Are the others in your list not going?
the others live close enough to come just for the day, jill
Wish our son still lived in Seattle....I might even make it!!
sounds like fun
We've booked a room at the casino with 2 queen beds.
except raelite, and I don't know if she is coming or not.
the commute from Seattle is not generally pleasant, jilly -- but this evening only had one minor slowdown in Fife, so not horrible.
anyone have clue for fi 5 22? still need it with 5 left.
I wish you could make it, though... August 21 if a miracle happens and you can be here! *grin*
3 left and still need fi 5 22 please.
oh, look at the time. I am determined to be at the theater early today... the last two days both I and another mother have been LATE picking up the kids... LOL because they keep ending rehearsal earlier and earlier and earlier! which is very strange for productions which normally rehearse later and later the closer to opening night.
see you-all tomorrow! *poof* (jill, let me ask tom about the drive from Pt A to home, he'll be better informed than I am --- email later)
niters stid, thanks for the help, think I'll make it and get fw
