wow, JC!
Nearly typed a grid word in here just then! :/ Stopped myself just in the nick of time!
it'll change...eventually ;)
19 to go here...
Reload the page.
Doesn't work for me, JC
ok Jilli, here's my humble abode
Beautiful picture, flosey, of your beautiful house and property!
Pinikula - what's your Ideal Home made of ? Looks like old buses, or the shipping crates on boats ??

I believe they're trailers...

Thank you Pini, flosey and jilli! :)
Yes, that's better, pini
That's beautiful -- I don't want to live there, but ...
* giggle *
I actually MADE a coffee-cake for bridge today! With blueberries and Italian plums -- yum!
colourful!
Your house looks lovely, Jill. :)
sounds yummy jilli
It suits me, JC -- thanks.
you should see her gardens, JC
Time for a water-break - 0ne oz for every two pounds ... another good reason to lose weight.
And half of it is now in the freezer ;)
great to have on hand, jilli
I'm sure, flosey - probably nicer than mine. Except for my large lavender bush. ;)
I have a lavendar bush in my backyard...but they're 'illegal' here now...
How can lavender bushes be illegal?!
why on earth should lavender be illegal?
No kidding - who smokes it? :P
That would give someone lovely breath. :P
because it's not 'native' to this area and is an intrusive plant? I don't know...
my goodness, we have lavender farms here!
How ridiculous. As if you don't have other non-native plants growing there? Nonsense.
I just know that because it's already here, I don't have to get rid of it...just can't plant any.
Or else, what - you'll be arrested? :P
cha right...
Grow marijuana then...
hold on - brb
oops...wrong plant...my bad...
...they banned the butterfly bush...
JC, that grows rampant here...
Glad I don't live in that country...
What, wild?
same comment re butterfly bush -- quite harmelss!
I'm wondering how this can be?
JC -- can't get into the acrobot guestbook -- just tried -- some kind of error...
due to the plant's aggressive competition with Douglas Fir seedlings, an economically key crop for the state, the plant is ironically bad for butterflies. While it attracts the insects, it chokes out other native plants that would feed caterpillars, and is not itself a caterpillar habitat. In New Zealand, which has a similar climate to that of Oregon, the butterfly bush is so invasive that there are dense monoculture stands where nothing else grows.
I'll check the settings, Jill.
Oh?
Well, they're pretty eco-sensitive around here too, but no such ban. I have 2 buddleias and neither have been aggressive
We need a new acro word. Any suggestions?
they are, but well...I live in a tree state
* thinking JC *
easy or hard?
I thought of a good one months ago but can't remember it now -- wrote it down on a slip of paper but do you think I can find it?
Pini, we live with Douglas firs here too...
too funny, jilli ;)
I never know what the reasoning is around here, jilli...sometimes they come up with the weirdest things
A good word for the acro game, Jill?
We have one now, Jill - just posted.
I'll check the bot in the morning to see what was chosen...calling it a night...cya'll tmw ;)
Settings are all on 'connections' Jill. So no reason for that unless you aren't connected to the acrobot?
Hmmm. Looks like you are?!
got to the bot with my feeble offering. I like Imodesty's.
hi all.. I see an undersized grid infront of me
Hi ruru
hi jilli
Refreshed the bot and see the new word...
halo from Budapest, kids! Xx!
hello George
Hi George!
George, hello - how's everything there?! :)
yeah, hello Julian!! Flo, Jill! xx! a bit too early to tell, m8, not awake yet, ha, ha!!
not really here, supposed to be sleeping
stats for the o in right corner pls
Yes. I was going to say, quite early for you?
eh, not lately, go to bed earlier and get up early to work out most of the time, not always though, ha! gonna put my head down for a bit longer--nice small puzzle, might try it later!!
Yes. I'm just off - try the acro game, it's started.
yeah, saw that, when I can think, lol! laters! xx!
Ah. He poofed. O in right corner: on7,44.
ty will look
You're welcome.
Hmmm. Still here, Jill?
thanks for the on 7
what's the other 7?
Hello...
di7/40
You're welcome, ruru! The other is the past tense of the di5,14 before it - and it is di7,40.
hi jellen
hi and nbt
thanks JC.. will look for that
Oh sorry. Hello, Jellen...
You're welcome again, ruru.
firewords
yeah.. jilli.. excellent
Hooray for jilli!!!
wtg jilli
yes, back from the grid, JC ;)
gj jilli
well done Jilli!!!
gee thanks, all!
just started and already nearly done. i like these fast little ones now and again
I'm glad it was a wee one -- off to the Chemainus theatre tomorrow so wouldn't have time.
Have been very busy lately and haven't been able to get more than about half way.
I went to the The Mousetrap tonight Jilli. What is on for you tomorrow
what's playing jilli?
I never knew that the di could past tense
Wingfield's Progess, bugs
the di5 is a verb if you're playing that funky music white boy
Where was the Mousetrap? Nanaimo?
you've never di7/40ed the night away ??
In Courtenay. Local theatre stuff but fun
I never went through the John Travolta stage in my life
fireworks
Hooray for flosey!!!
Great to have local theatre around
YAY flosey.
YAY flosey!!!
ty, and now off to bed, lots to do in the morning
Hello, Bugsaw. :)
anyone see gremlin any more?
Have a good game, flosey -- g'night!
Gremlin and chuggaboom seem to have disappeared.
Ah. You're off, Jill?
Hi JC
fireworks
I think they prefer speed games without chat.
last word the ke6
Yay, josh!!!
terrific job joshua!
Soon, JC -- was saying goodnight to flosey.
I see. You missed George's flying visit. :P
Time for me to try to sleep...have a good day/night!
YAY josh!!!
Jilli I just checked the words in Acrobot. I vote for your definition as being the most fitting to the rules. Good job
Nite Jellen. I hope tomorrow is kind to you
No, I did see George breeze in and out, said hello to him.
What is acrobot?
Hmmm? What do you mean, Bugsaw?
The host account of a word game on Yahoo!, Jellen. I'll see if I can get you added to that.
wrong thing? so sorry. I am very tired right now. It has been such a long day
Thanks, bugs, but I thought Immodesty Blaize's was much cleverer.
I must be off. Can't see words, can't talk. So sorry. I will return tomorrow to play again.
Goodbye, Bugsaw...
Ah. You were invited already, Jellen - check the 'Home' page in Yahoo! Pulse for the invitation.
Good night to you, Bugsaw.
Okay, J.C...
Bugs, you didn't say anything wrong as far as I can see. I think JC hadn't seen my feeble acro effort so didn't realise I had submitted one -- is that so, JC?
Well, time for bed -- have to get up and catch a ferry tomorrow so goodnight all!
Can't seem to get on Yahoo at the moment...will investigate tomorrow...
G'night, jilli...
Where would I have seen it, Jill - or were you submit it there?
Hmmm? Why was Bugsaw thinking she said something wrong? :/
JC are you still here? Jilli said she was going to bed ...scroll down
Ah, missed Jill - well I'm off. OK Jellen, take care.
Yes. Just saw that, westford. See you later. x
bye
guess everyone finished early
good morning everybody. What a tiny grid for a Saturday!
hi ruby nice to 'see' a friendly face
how did the birthday celebration go?
the biorthday celebrqtion was fine. Did you see Sprite's icon? But today husband is behaving like a bear awakened 2 months too early!
AArghh
oh no !!
was there some conflict going on this AM?
I missed sprite's icon saw jilli's though
how are you westford? I'll try to make fewer typos
I think everyone just finished early
I was over an hour late
and most were gone by then
The good news is that my housekeeper and her husband are taking my son for a hike and picnic today
Good morning/evening all.
gd morning, haz
that should be nice..through the mountains into Switzerland?
hello haz
Hello! Teeny wee grid today - no excuse for being late to do shopping.
no no. Nothing that far. We have cliffs and small mountains right above our house. They are actually the foothills of the Alps which, eventually go all the way to Mt Blanc, only 1 hr away by car
The Swiss Alps are in a slightly different direction and go north from the other side of Lake Geneva
it sounds wonderful weather okay?
I've told my husband if we ever want to see Paris we should start out in Geneva..sounds more civilized airport wise
haz do you still have to have mr haz along to push the cart?
yes, it's a small and very easy airport, only 35 minutes from our house, easy parking, one exit for passangers, very lax customs (except for passport requirements). Generally a pleasure.
yes, it's a small and very easy airport, only 35 minutes from our house, easy parking, one exit for passangers, very lax customs (except for passport requirements). Generally a pleasure.
Paris airport is horrible
Oh no, absolutely not. That was a one time thing, I'm completely recovered.
lids
oh good haz cart pushing husbands are things to avoid
No, he was very good, but I was back to normal very quickly.
that's so good to hear spangle must have missed your walks
sorry for l word!
me too ruby already had it lol
ruby I was at Orle when our daughters were babies it was a zoo then
for me, the worst one is Charles de Gaulle (Roissy), second only to |Heathrow
how old are your daughters?
now they are 43 and 43 and no they aren't twins
birthdays are 24 Sept and 3 Nov
and I had them both with me
John is 46, so we must have been around Paris at similar times
for us it was just a stopover on the way to Marseilles
his first time was in 64 when he was 8 mos old, the second is '67
what did you do in Marseilles?
Wendy was 6 weeks old
meeting hubby..his ship was in port that was when France let us in
that sounds like a nice chapter in your autobiography
I was young and didn't know any better lol
must go, son is here
but I wouldn't trade it for anything
poof*
Bye, ruby.
bye ruby say hello to him
Morning Haz and westie and bye ruby.
Good morning, FM.
hi FM
did you sleep in? lol
Just got a short letter from my Mum and she included some pages from the Times with a load of really yummy soup recepies.
I had a nap yesterday afternoon west and didn't get up till nearly 8am this morning, bliss :)
this is a good time for soup getting too cold for me
Well done on the sleeping. Are you all nicely rested up?
it would be nice if you put a recipe or two in your profile
I agree, I mentioned to her that I had made some french onion soup the other day, hence the link. I am Haz, although still feel not quite awake.
french onion soup is sooo good
had a friend come visit over Labor Day and she made a cream of crab soup to die for
I meant to freeze some of it but just ended up eating it all over a few days.
cream of crab sounds delish.
maybe we can have a soup recipe icon some time
Thats a good idea westie, you should email sprite.
I promised I'd try to get to bed before the sun came up so here I go
I will FM. Bye now and bye haz too.
Good theme for this time of year. LOL sweek dreams.
Bye, westford.
Glad I did the shopping yesterday, all I need to do today is walk into the village for the Saturday papers and that is me done for the day.
No footy results?
Oh that goes without saying - got about 25 games on this afternoon.
Did you watch any of the Strictly Come Dancing last night?
I didn't. How did it go?
The bits I saw were most entertaining but I missed Matt whatshisname (ex Blue Peter) who aparently was vv good.
Matt Baker.
Ann Widicome is dancing tonight and Paul Daniels did last night, a bit painful.
Is Paul Daniel's partner not much taller than him?
She is a bit.
HAve you completed the grid, I've not long started but so far so good.
I've never really got into it properly. Some of the ladies at RDA became very devoted when Mark Ramprakash was on.
Yes, I've finished.
Ah yes, with his 'see through cut away black shirt :)
You obviously have retained a strong memory of him!
good morning peeps
small grid today!
Good morning, varumba.
hey haz, FM
lol it was hard to avoid, he was on every news prog and talked about all over the place. Morning var.
It's small but not nearly as nasty as some smaller grids can be.
ok
Hows the glittery one Haz, is she still on the tablets?
Yes, she'll always be on them. She got trimmed yesterday so is looking and smelling rather nice.
that will help her muchly with the arranging of groomed paws then :)
Yes, much less to ferret through. It gives her more time to read the paper and do her chores.
LOL
Good morning all how many words today please
99 sandra
99 today.
Thanks
var - where abouts in the UK are you?
sry was afk FM... am in Birmingham, and you?
I'm down south in West Sussex.
nice
Only moved here last year but it is lovely living in the countryside.
oh yes, i ccome fromt he countryside myself... love what city has to offer, but love the quiet of the countryside
Time for coffee I think, back in a while.
ok, syl! my breakfast is ready too... so i will goo soon
And I'll go because otherwise I'll get nothing done! Bye, you two.
Bye Haz see you later.
lol bye haz, hagd
and bye var.
can someone help with the stats for the 7s please
di 7/40 on 7/44
tvm
Good morning all. Sitting here with a late bacon sandwich and a pot of coffee. Bliss, except for bacon all over the keyboard!
Morning Sally and yum to the bacon sarnie :)
It's all gone now :-( Do you have both the K words? Not asking for clues, but have one and just can't see the other.
Wondered if it was a fish.
yes I have them both, do you want the stats?
or even just the number of letters?
I have the ke 6/30, so yes please to the other.
ka4/8
ty
yw :)
Got it :-) Could have sworn I'd tried that.
How are things in your neck of the woods this Saturday morning?
Better weather than yesterday, but that's not hard. I gather the sun is shining in Billingshurst (sto step-daughter says).
It was a little while ago but had gone all shy and hidden behind grey - but at least it is not raining!
Hammered down here yesterday. When I let the hens out they took one look, and said "you've got to be kidding!".
But our stream was hammering down like Niagara falls, quite spectacular.
LOL re the chickens.
Their house is in a covered run which leads to a large free range area, but I think they stayed under cover all day. Got very grumpy with each other!
poor chooks, I just had a very bedraggled colony of sparrows looking mournful.
We had a beautiful cock pheasant in the garden this morning. A very striking dog collar on him and a most gorgeous tail.
oh talking of which I haven't topped up their se4 feeder so I had better pop off and do that now whilst I think of it. TTFN.
All done. Bye to any lurkers. Anyone need clues before I go and make myself useful?
Nice little grid today.
Hi Sally, Congrats, stats for the bottom right `O` please?
Hi zooz!
on 7/44, compound word
Ahh, many thanks :-)
I don't think I would ever use that, only with a different number IYSWIM :-)
Do you need any more?
No, i am flying through this one, But many thanks Sally :-)
It's a nice quick one today which is good. I didn't have time to finish the very large one the other day.
Have you seen Dr_G's latest suggestion on the Babblers group on FB?
No, i do not use FB, but i have seen the suggestions here in the chog, sounds really good...some great ideas.
oops, PB, for the se4 word :-(
I looked away and didn't notice it so you're safe :-). The latest idea is an Achievements board, where you get a little picture of a rocket (I think) for every so many grids you complete.
hi all
has dr god posted something new?
Hello, Jmc :-)
It had gone very quiet on there because Dr_G was doing gainful employment or some such rubbish, so I was pleased he is still working on it.
Yes jmc. In the Babble Community group.
will be interesting to see the final results..
i will have to go take a peak later
I can see it could turn into a badge of shame, for those of us who obviously spend too much time here :-) There's one for Complete 1,000 puzzles.
lol i spend too much time here but don't worry about completing the grid
i have completed over 1200 so far..lol
and there are others who complete all of them and then run away
Let me check...
really zooz???
where would you check that?
goto rankings Jmc, it is the stats on the left.
Can't see how I would check that.
oh is that what that is
Surely not, that's just average performance?
It says For each puzzle that a player participates in, his or her score is divided by the maximum possible score for that puzzle and then multiplied by 1000 to come up with a score between 1 and 1000. The average of all the player's scores is then calculated to get his or her "raw rank." An additional point for every puzzle that the player has completed is then added to their raw rank to come up with their final rank.
morning all
So today, for instance, with 1055 points, I would score 1,000 plus however many points for however many puzzles I have completed.
what a shame, would be good to have a rank for how many you complete.
Hello, Carlee :-)
hi car
another bitty grid...<sigh>
well make that suggestion to dr god zooz
in that case, i have not completed as many as i had thought..lol
I think there will be on this new feature, in effect. You will be able to see how many you have completed. Dr_G says it will probably be "retroactive".
A very nice grid though Carlee
well then everyone will be able to see how few I complete! lol
hi all
h sprite
does not matter really, Jmc, as long as you enjoy the grids.
Hello, Spritey :-)
nice ideal home sprite
hi dear babble friends
trust me zooz I do!
same here :-)
Yes, I hope this new idea doesn't make people too competitive. I enjoy completing the grids, but if I don't have time, I don't have time and it's not a matter of life or death. And Hi Sprite!
hi Sally, if it becomes competitive, I am gone
oh nothing could make me more competative sally!
Well I think you don't have to be competitive yourself!
i am the same sally....i think i have looked at my stats maybe once...saw how low i am and that was it
internet is full of competitive game, this is one of the very few that are not
i think it is what you want to make of it, some people will, some people won`t.
but competitive people can ruin the chat atmosphere, alas
dont you have to do some stupid a$$ like thing to complete 30 in a row to make any sgnificant improvement in your stats????
I love playing, love chatting, and am glad to give clues. I hate it when people just appear and without even a "hi" just say, clue for xxx, in a demaing way without even a please.
Rant over.
as long as they have a chat log, i will still enjoy being here.
there are those who won't start a game if they think they can't finish it
lol Sally, I agre
agree even
Gee...I'm a village elder
Hello, Sukee :-)
well sally i don't care and will give them a clue and greet them
gratz sukee
good morning all. Is everyone safe and dry?
i know, sounds like we have been here for ever...LOL
!! demaing sb demanding. Stupid keyboard. Probably something to do with the bacon sarnie I was eating earlier.
hi Eva, here we are
eventually we make suck them into the communitee and if not then it is their lo4/4
Dry, no, wet again here Eva, Hello :-)
*licks sallys keyboard clean*
finally dry here eva
Our stream was a raging torrent yesterday.
hi village elder sukee!
woke up to a clear and cold morning. Will probably have our first real frost tomorrow. That rain was really something!
and by dry i mean not raiinig
yeap....i am way near the bottom.....lower i believe then last time i checked
Morning all
i rarely look at the rankings myself
raining here...i feel like baking again today....<thinking cap> what to bake what to bake
me neither, not interesting at all. Grid and chat, that is what I go for :D
oo bake some bread
hey there is a K. Blind spot. Only 2... shouldn't be too hard... should it?
help with the lower corner O please
cake. Simple cake, but well made.
I let go of trying to complete puzzles after the first year....much too much wear and tear on my body and brain. I just go for as long as it feels fun and then move on.
i got one fairly quickly sprite i am sure you will have no problem
Ks hate me. And it is mutual.
it is a compound word Jmc
i like completing them all in rush at the last minute because i get the competative rush without having to compete
maybe sprite...
i think a words hate me sprite so I understand
Sounds like an ebay auction, jmc.
someone mentioned a facebook page. Is there one?
wish I could hop by and help you eat the cake :D
ka4/8
a little sally lol but it doesn't cost me
There's a Babble Community group Eva, where Dr_G is posting his ideas.
and then pini and I have a friendly competition
thanks. I'll go look at it
Photos and videos so far.
but calling it a competition really ovenstates it -- we race from time to time
last time i made cake we ate it fo more then a week..great cake but it was too much cake and next to impossible to make smaller
wow Ks dead
For me the achievement is finishing, not how fast I do it, but we're all different. Wouldn't like to have to race.
*puts on mourning for Ks*
I compete with myself
I never race, I just want to find words. All of them, if possible. Learning new ones. Training my brain to see patterns and stay open for new or weird possibilities.
Think I wouldn't play this if we had a shorter period to complete the grid.
mourning? MOURNING???
actually some one chided pini and me once but we help each other and harass each other all in good fun
i just toddle through...and i fi find hem..fine...sometimes i just quit and stay in the chog
well you did say they were dead and we should respect all living creatures
(especially tasty ones)
i rarely quit unless i am ready to go to sleep or work
I pop in and out through the day, usually, so don't do it all in one go.
jmc, we are talking about Ks. No kows. No kats. Ks can be killed without any ado!
i need more help with that O
i feel like baking something fussy....fiddly..maybe will amke fancy cookies???
i do it in stages generally -- especially big ones
nbt tile at flip or before I go to work
1/2 way if I am lucky before I come home from work
don't have it yet, that O
the rest in the last couple of hours
so...did everyone hear about rick sanchez being fired from cnn?
I play when I have time. Am late today. Sometimes even later, in my evening. Nice part is meeting several 'groups' of babble friends.
on7/44 number + place clothes neatly.
oo i wish I could bake . . . i am so terrible that the teachers had to force the children to tell me how nice my cupcakes were -- and none of them finished them
thanks zooz
ty zooz and that gives me nbt
I'm going to potter off for a bit. Anyone else need any clues?
no thanks sally
( JMC..i have a girlfriend like that...she would buy rice crispie squares...take them out of wrappers and place on a plate in lieu of baking)
no thanks Sally. Have a good day!
enjoy the day sally
i just let other mothers bake. . . and my hubby he was good at it
bye sally
bye all. *gone*
Bye Sally :-)
i feel like having a baking "fest" actually
making 2 or 3 types of cookies...and a cake or something...
yummmm
sounds festive
you could freeze them, no?
if i had room in my freezer...sure
lol
take them to church for afters?
I have room. Bring them over, I will freeze them. No problem.
shrimp has been on sale alot here....so when ever it is i buy 3-5 bags... as separation/ divorce looms closer and closer...1 bag of shrimp feeds the 3 of us for 5.00 ( scary..shrimp was a 1ce a year treat when i was a kid)
oh sorry to hear of looming
there...finally nbt
and i am more then 1/2 way...killed 2 birds with that word
wtg car
this is a good thing..we should have done this years and years ago...we just dont"fit" and we are not a "couple" or team... we co-existed and tried to make something that didnt work..work for a very long time
sorry to hear that @1, and wtg @2
ah how sad
hope it works out then
no matter how good it is, it is still ahrd
hard, even. So hard I cannot spell it right.
we have 2 great kids... and..we tried....we really tried... lots of bumps and bruises along the way...and we are both at fault..some days i think me mor ethen hiim..other times..about equal....i never think it was him more then me tho..
how old are the kids?
18 and 14 jmc ( boy older)
it will be hard on them too
well sorry didn't mean to pry
they are ok....home was never "happy"..never fun... now..we have fun and we laugh...everyone is going to be ok
hahahah..pry away jmc..
I admire your courage and positive attitude, carlee. Your children will benefit from that.
no courage sprite..maybe i just grew up???
well i think sometimes people get in a tiff and it escalates and that I think happens way too often
but it sounds like this has been well thought and out and may be one of the reasons why divorce shouldn't be a stigma
maybe... but certainly courage too.
so i admire your attitude and i agree with sprite it still takes courage
especially to do it in a non-toxic way
perhaps... this is not a tiff...those who have heard the "saga" know its been a long hawl..sometimes i think i am giving up and maybe if i tried harder... but...the one thought that remains in my head is.." i cannot imagine old age together with that man"
well there you go
there is giving up and there is knowing when you have tried enough. Sounds to me like you both know the difference and are doing what is best for all of you.
( there soem toxins..right now we cannot be in the same room together with out bickering... but in time... hopefully that will fade away)
i recommend Mistakes were made butnot by me as a good read about how people paint themselves into corners
i suspect it will go away car
it probably will if you can go on respecting eachother as people. And yourself too. And if you both can accept that for your children you will always be mum and dad. There is a connection there.
it may be like the bickering my boy and i did for him to distance himself from me without too much pain
great title, jmc! I would recommend the books of mr and mrs Pease on man and women. For all intersex relationships, not just marriage.
hello friends. Carlee, I am sorry to hear your news, but proud of you. its a hard decision, but it sounds like the right one for you. Children should be in a happy home, if possible, and remember, you are also modeling marriage to them. you would want them to aim for happy, good "fits" in their own marriages....
i often wonder if i would be so gung-ho about people sticking it out if my hubby had lived?
hi trif!
And I absolutely, positively recommend the book "getting divorced without ruining your life" by Sam Marguluies
hiiiii Trif *hugggs* So true, about modeling marriage. My parents were about the worst examples and I have long doubted I would ever be able to be a good partner. But my grandparents were great together and I know I learned from them too.
time will tell ...sorry but i am one of those people who cannot get through self help books...i bought "the secret" cus my sis in law hounded me for weeks...and got to page 2...when i was preggers i got the what to expect when ur ecpecting....i think i got to page 5
whoa. That was a HUGE statement there jmc
lol car mistakes were made is not a self-help book
carlee, I promise, it's not a self help book. Get it from the library at least. It
it is really excellent
lol carlee, that is not a fun book. You may want to try the books of the Peases or, also very worth while, John Cleese (life and how to survive it is a great one)
ugh - just found the di7. God help us all.....
it is a actually more about politics than marriages but very interesting
di7?
wow jmc...
clue trifs?
what? what is everyone so shocked about??
it is not divorce, of that I am sure, lol
something we hope we never have to say we did, ever again....think dancing all night at studio 54
lol no no v
not shocked, jmc. But it was an interesting thing you posted.
i was too old lol
i'm having a hard time figuring out which book is which here....but will look them both up...
and no R either, grin
oh well you know it is easy to think that hubby and i would be all peaches and cream since he is now little more than a figment of my imagination
oh lovely - now that connie francis "d-i-v-o-r-c-e" song is stuck in my head....
others have to deal with the real day to day and i only have to imagine that hubby agrees with everything i do
must be weird that you will never know.
its like childbirth...u forget the painful parts....maybe that is why I am second guessing myself right now about "if i tried harder"
carlee, not to pry, but is the wasband on the same page you are, or is he resisting the sep/div?
it is sprite -- he was so young
i never quit things..and this year i quit a job and my marriage
well sometimes it is the right thing car
well my love does not agree with everything, thanks God, but we are incredibly happy together after 18 years and I trust we will still be happy after 18 more years.
i gave notice at my job too
oh..we are on the same page trifs..he filed papers first
double sad, jmc.
i am so glad sprite
WAIT - you quit your job jmc??? where have I been?
the job u are at now jmc?
hubby and i fought but we developed techinques to get through it all
not around trif
i am still at the same job -- they have just posted it to do a search for a replacement
carlee, might be just me but I feel 'quit' is a rather negative word. You are not a quitter. You tried and finally decided there were better ways to spend your life and energy. That is wisdom.
and i have applied for several other jobs
that is beautiful sprite!
i am not quitting! I am stepping down!
moving on to other things
jmc, I am really shocked! you always speak of it with such conviction and joy. may I please ask, why are you choosing to step down at this time? has something about the job changed, or are you looking for something different?
thanks sprite... i will try and remember that..... most times i do..but am hormonal today and its raining..sun came up over and hour ago and it looks like dawn just breaking....
i still can and will speak of it with joy and conviction and that is why i am moving on
oh dear, hormones can be evil. They shake up emotions like nothing else.
dawn of a new and better life car
but in other words....i just smartened up ....hahah
*grin*
i just became clear that it was time to get someone with new and more energy in my position
carlee, this is going to be a hard time. there is no reason to surmise otherwise. but it will pass, I promise. funny that you referenced childbirth, as that is EXACTLY the metaphor I have been using lately. My court date is october 14th, and right now it feels like the last month of pregnancy. I am tired, and need this to be over. its been too long now.
and it was time for me to do something else
i hope some of the rancor has gone for you trif
sounds like you are on the same sort of page as carlee. you both know it's time to do something, and I think the fact that you are both choosing to be in better environs shows what amazing women you are.
hello babblers... not staying too long ;)
do you mean you hope I am less angry, or that he is less angry?
both trif
I have no experience with divorce, but I do with child birth and I can relate to that! I so needed to have my body back, to be able to be alone somewhere. And so done carrying everything and waiting. I bet you are ready to have it behind you.
the hard part will be to find a home...once house is sold..with all of the debt he accumulated...i will have nothing left for a down payment on a house...so i will be renting..which i hate the thought of
hi varumba
hi jmc
hey sprite
hi varumba
too bad car
hi rumba...
hi carlee
i am ready for MINE...
go car go!
carlee, you should def talk to a good lawyer (I recommend the collaborative kind, if you have that option) and see if you can arrange things so that you are not responsible for his debt. Keeping the children in their house is always a priority for the court
it will take more time, carlee, but you are going to have your own home in time
i want a new home...yes..doing colaborative...
oh, okay then. I am delighted to hear you're doing collaborative. it is the way to go
I got a collaborative lawyer, but the wasband didn't, so we are doing this weird hybrid.
okay 1/2 way and i promised to help with my sister's book sale so i will be off
something smaller...there a lot of little "cottages" in this area as we a lake front community....i want a little cottage...something i can white wash..and collect shells and have water pics up...find old taps and mount to a weathered board for a coat rack and a gingham table cloth on the kitchen table and abook case full of old hard cover books...i want it full of shades of the lake
bye jmc! exercise excellent control at the book sale!!!
no money so no problem!
carlee, that sounds like HEAVEN!!!!!!!!
ooh....take cash only....and walk away jmc
sounds wonderful, carlee. Kind of like my ideal home, see icon, lol
bye jmc, good luck and see you soon
hugs all around!
*poof*
oh..and i want a fireplace...god how i want a fireplace...
sprite, I just was checking out your icon and saw your flickr photo -- you are adorable!!!!
or wood burning stove...i miss the smell of woodsmoke
no need to read the secret, carlee... just go on seeing this before your mind's eye and you will create it, in time!
awwwwww blush! Thanks Trif.
and yes ..along that line...mind the cottages around here that i can afford are cheeck by jowl on postage size lots...but fence with ivy....that blocks out noisy neighbours
sprite, I like what you are saying. I have sort of been trying to do that very thing with my upcoming court date. Not to envision me walking away with a big smile on my face, or anything like that, but just to hold the image of me getting through this with grace and courage, and both of us making some concessions to the other. mostly I find I am worried about what the judge will decide, in the end.
ugh....court..i dont even want to think about court...
i start the whole lawyer thing this week...
for some reason, it's the sound of the gavel bang that I keep fixating on. like a gunshot, killing the marriage. it starts with a kiss, and ends with a gunshot....
I can imagine it must be really tough to be dependant to the judgement of a stranger in the end. But I do believe that what you are doing will help. It 'tunes' your own mind and energies.
i feel same trifs...the lawyer office and the whole divorce ting feels so tawdry
yes, I would rather that we work together to make the decisions that effect our family. but perhaps if we could work together, this would never have happened
hello all
maybe you can change that image? Work it around to, for instance, a stopped-up waterhose breaking through with a bang? Or a beautiful fireworks rocket in a vast sky?
and mr hate (jmc isn't here anymore, so I can be a bit rancorous) is not yielding in his determination to make sure he does not have to pay me a cent
hi Nonnie!
hello sprite! How are you doing?
am good, Nonnie, how about you?
i am going to picture a door slamming on him that he is now blocked from making decisions for me
hi nonnie
oooh, fireworks, I like that idea, sprite!!!! I get so excited when I see them here. A sense of finishing something, and a celebration. I like that SO MUCH. thank you!
*hugs* Trif, so glad :)
LOVE that too, carlee!
hiya carlee...did you get a chance to check out the minute to win it site and if so, did that help to give you some ideas for games for you upcoming event?
oh...yes nonnie..i did....i am using 5 of them :) thanks :)
Great! I was hoping it would help.
on a babble-related note -- does anyone have the lower corner o?
and you're welcome too :o) Let me know how it turns out.
doing... the yoyo with the pop can..and the inverted pyramid... the cotton ball on the nose one...
and am hoping to find 3 pedometers
for the head bobbing one
some cell phones have pedometers
good morning Babblers
money and a feeling of masculinity can go together... just remember that you invested in the relation just as much, it is about energy and not about the form it took. So you are entitled to money.
single unit + what u do to clothes after taking ut of dryer
we did the junk in your trunk with the tissue box and ping pong balls...loads of fun
hello nono!
whew! nbt, thanks to carlee.
wtg Trif
thanks sprite. I am trying to think of it like severance pay. he does not get to fire me without a severance package.
go tri to
the trouble is sprite..he ran up huge debt...any investments we have...we are losing cus we have to sell the house
yay trifs
( anyone have the ge 5 and or 6?)
I understand, carlee. I was referring to Trif's words, that mr hate doesn't want to have to pay her a cent. When there are debts, things are different. Tough :(
I still think you should ask if you are responsible for his personal debts, carlee
not yet, carlee, sorry
well..one was for a family vacation.he said he had the $ on hand..a.ctually 2 of them....and then there his truck.....
is the truck in his name only?
we will see...if i do that..he loses everything..goes bankrupt...and then i get no child support etc
yeap..its in his only
then it is his debt
but laws can be different in carlee's place, or not?
carleecat, I went through this some time back. It has been 4 years. I still pay my ex husband's cell phone bill. But I know if his phone gets cut off he may lose his job (he works from home) and the instability would be terrible for the kids. I have been glad I took the high road
oh, yes, that is a good point sprite. def worth asking
and he paid off my car with some rrsp...and when all said and done he giving me that....its in his name
stability for the children is a very good point, alembick. Wtg you did it that way.
we will see what the lawyer says...i am not going to quibble unless he does
my biggest concern is my health insurance. it's a family plan, so it does not cost a cent more to have me on it, but he insists on turfing me of it, just the same
where I live, any debt incurred while legally married, both parties are responsible for the debt, regardless of who actually took the loan or whose name the asset is in. (the asset is legally both too even if only in ones name)
same here, alembick
exactly what i was thinking alem...
he shouldn't do that, Trif. Maybe he can be convinced the extra money that would cost (for you) could be better spend on the children?
keep your chin up carlee. hopefully if you turn the focus of the communication to what is best for the kids then he can see that it is more reasonable and better for them to not do things out of spite.
of course he shouldnt, sprite. but he is. he wouldn't contribute a cent for primo's car expenses, he won't give me a cent towards primo's senior pictures, he won't won't, won't. and so I have a credit card bill that climbs higher and higher, while he sits on a pile of money.
good morning, reading and learning - my good wishes to you both, trif and carlee - one question for Trif - are you sure about the health insurance? we just had a case here where a police officer was convicted of fraud for keeping his ex-wife on his "family " plan health insurance - should have notified them of the divorce but didn't
i cant say my ex is like that at all trifs..my daughter has an enrichment trip this weekend coming up..he is paying the 200.00 for it..he is working a side job to come up with the $
oops and keep your chin up Trif also. Sorry! I'm a bit scatter brained this a.m.
my lawyer is working on it, jbv.
it's fine alem. my chin is just where it should be. :)
Trif it sounds like you will be better off out of a toxic situation even if financially it is rough. Good luck to you
that is terribly sad, Trif. Sounds very much like my father in his divorce. Try not to worry too much though... focus on how things are going to work out great for you and your children. They will.
*off topic but on game: I keep seeing lodge! and dislodge! And dislodged!*
it's all a bit dicey right now, exacerbated by the fact that about a month ago he got in a HUGE fight with secondo, and she has refused to see him, or really even speak to him since. and it took him about ten seconds to start railing about how *I* am not doing enough to fix it, how she has no right to say when they visit (she is over 14, so indeed, so does), and how I am not helping him enough. So that is the mind set he is in as we enter final negotiations. charming
the ge 5/6 is the geometric figure formed by this surface, an ellipsoid flattened at the poles. the 6 is the plural
thanks carlee
Trif, I was at the school my kids go to, and listened to the speech the principal gave to the new kids (my daughter for one). She told them to ask themselves every day: "What did I contribute today to... a pleasant class atmosphere, a good school atmosphere, etc." Your soontobe-ex should ask himself the same. Not about what you do, but about what HE does.
excellent sprite! it is an important question for me to ask myself. every day I should strive to be excellent.
you already are, Trif. Forget the perfectionism. You only need to _contribute_, not to make it all happen by yourself. *hugs*
my big phantom today is "diesel"
(spoken as one perfectionist to another, of course)
got to go
ye every1!! syl
kisses to all ;)
morning everyone!
bye varumba, have a grand day :)
carlee, I hight recommend music for this time of your life, particularly "listen" from the dreamgirls soundtrack, and "little lion man" by mumford and sons.
oh, and "so what" by pink, which has been my ring tone and my answer tone for months now
hi Lilecama
From Me To You by Janis Ian
has the grid been sticky, or is it my internet connection?
no problems here, Lilecama. Have you tried force-refresh? (Control + F5 on a windows puter)
I've done a complete restart... :( Maybe dear kids up or downloading stuff....
fireflies! Anything I may help with before I go?
sprite, I am loving this janis ian song, thank you!
the bottom o please sprite?
and huzzah to finishing!
maybe you can try a force-refresh anyway, it may clear some stuff that reboot does not clear.
yvw Trif, I love it too :)
it is a power song
ok - thanks for that, Sprite. I'll give it a go.
*~*~*POMPOM toss*~*~*for sprite
thanks all :)
oh Trif, and when I need to balance my thoughts and emotions, I listen to Old and Wise by Alan Parsons Project.
hmmm....ok..let me see if my provider has so what trifs..hold on
downloading... got it...
hello...clue for ke6?
chemical word, phaeton. 3 syllables.
too funny.... na na na na na na na i guess i just lost my husband...
I think that when I look back on my divorce, I will always hear mumford and sons in my head. they have definitely provided the soundtrack to this time in my life
oh, and I forgot to say, when you listen to "little lion man" change the "i" in the chorus to "you"
i tend to bake when stressed... and.. that ok...
i dont think i want...stuff to remind me of a time... i just want to live..and use this as a stepping stone...not an era...
ooo good song Trif, the little lion man!
that whole cd is GAWGEOUS sprite
I really wish you lived closer by, carlee. I'd be visiting a lot, lol. And eating your great bakeries.
ty sprite
yvw phaeton
hahaha.... not great...just..yummy
i get cravings... and if it is for a cookie...i bake the batch...i eat one..craving gone...so i need peole to come eat what i bake
I bought a big old tray of cookies at the store just last night carlee, for that very reason. I should have baked them myself of course, but I was out, and there they were....should never shop whilst hungry....
*sigh* I'd love to be one of them :)
cravings and comfort food... not always bad things.
right now i am craving my chocolate chip cheesecake...but.one again... i have a freezer full of shrimp
so...this makes a huge cheesecake...and i have to eat it....i want people at my house to eat
I have to be off. Bye all and thanks for the great chat. You are marvellous people. Whenever I count my blessings, I count you among them.
my girlfriend just bought me a little sign with that very saying on it sprite
:) It is a good thing to remember. That we count to some people.
yeap..it is..thanks sprite {hugs}
hi all
ok...8 d words to go
hi boo
little grid today
5 d words to go
yay....am done
beware of little grids, boo - I have found they often take longer than the big boys
huzzah for carlee!!!! rock on, girl!
nice little grid... sally was right
yes I know
i hate those big ones... slogs....no fun
but sometimes they are easier than the little ones
i guess with the little ones..the end alwys in site :)
ooooh carlee, you were one letter away from the pb there!
oh..i rather enjoy the PB... sometimes i just say words and put myself there for the fun of it...sit back..recline... have a glass of wine...
that a girl carlee
much to the annoyance of the diehard babble enthusiasts
i was just thinking of you this week, carlee, now that you say wine....the muscat grapes on my back deck are dropping everywhere, and I would love to have something, anything to make from them....
u can make a muscat wine
is there a site with directions somewhere? I have been trolling for recipes, but most seem to suggest concord and muscat grapes are interchangeable, and I really doubt that is true
no muscat is a dry white...u remove the skins...
hold on...let me find the site i use for alot if troubleshooting
good morning
clue for corner O?
these grapes are purple, purple purple, but the insides are indeed green, so I guess white could result
http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reque st220.asp
on7/44. compound word
try this trifs...muscat is a genus of grapes....
lid
cold
?
good words alem!LOL
and...if u can reserve some of the juice... froma pressing... ( I would boil and freeze for later use ) ...before bottling..after addition of campden ( kills yeast so fermentation is done) I would put some of the juice in the wine...to sweeten slightly....would give the muscat a rounder flavour
phae.. I'm more used to hearing the two verion.
clue for lo5?
thanks carlee!
have it finish at a one.... easier to kill the yeast...and add juice..then to stop the process at a consistent spot....if it works out..
I will have to see where I can get all the other ingredients as well. I suppose there is an online source for winemaking supplies, surely?
red star steinburg will be an easier yeast to find
yes..there is....
but...trifs....why not make grape jelly instead... far less work :) especially if u have not got a readily avail wine supply sour
souce
source even
okay. maybe I will try that. I think my kids would def rather have the jelly, and I certainly would rather they had the jelly, lol
looks like you need to cut back on the consumption there, carlee!!!!
if i were you..i would locate the wine supplies...and try your hand at kits that are available..to get ur "feet" wet
i need more coffee is what i need
( my cat was walking across the laptop....and i was multi- tasking truth be told....getting rid of cat and trying to get a message to you)
that web site is amazing tho....loads of recipes... lots of troubleshooting..just poorly designed
I found what looks to be an excellent site, so I am happy.
for wild grape jelly making, that is.
oh crap. there is a woodpecker trying to get in my house again. doofus
it sounds like the sky is falling....
yay.... i want to try dandelion wine myself... and...there was once many years ago...i tried a home made red....and after having a glss i found out about a certain illegal substance that was put in it during fermentation...
i have always wanted to try that....but never had the balls to do it
gave tipsy a whole new meaning...
LOL carlee - primo and I were discussing the other day how that particular crop could be my ticket to financial freedom. I live way back in the woods, on ten acres totally blocked from the street. could raise the medical kind....
i wouldnt need much....wouldnt want to alter the flavour of the wine....but..am thinking a heavy bodied amerone or a peppery shiraz...would be perfect...alas...i dont have the balls to get any
i would be afriad i would encounter an under cover agent and get arrested, and my children would perish in mortification
I have several elderberry trees on the acreage too, and always wanted to try some recipes with them as well. I found an EXCELLENT big old book from centuries back with all kinds of recipes in it, but its hard to decipher exactly what you are supposed to do
pretty much..although i know a neighbour of mine is a reg user...so iknow i could get it...
woody woodpecker here really needs to take a hike....geesh
there elderberry wine recipes in that site too..he has a list of wines he has made and won awards with
thanks!
Good morning Krusty Krew!

Ha! Erm, yes. :P
what fancy places do with napkins before they place them
thanks crossy! i hadn't even seen that F yet!
e,s eradicated,f,s foiled,and g,s gagged
i can see the d,s will be my nemesis:(
Do you mean the on7,44 jdp?
she has it now
Yes. Well what do you do to a knapkin, before you put it away after it's washed? And don't do it twice...
got it thx!
A single one will do. ;)
You're very welcome. :)
lol,i must be invisible lol
i'm sorry, crossy, were you saying something? ;-)

Ah, you're welcome Jesse. :)

i thing dr_g has some dutch in him

Oh, jbp, sorry - I said 'jdp'. :P
What cute dogs - yours? :)
's ok, jc
yes, our wicked hounds of doom
corgi mix is Juno and beagle mix is Joschke
hi all
oh, your pups and mine could have a play date!
how about a clue for other 7 please.
altho I bet yours would be mortified at how mannerless mine are.
Awww. :) I've just changed my avatar photo to one taken last week of my two, playing on the beach. The other photo was one of them...
hi Carlee!
It would be difficult, given where we both live.
howdy carlee
Do any dogs have 'manners' when they're playing with others? :P
true. ;-)
hey jbp...crossie...
I'd recommend you introduce them to our cats, Julian, but Drake gets very attitudey around others. bit of a drama queen...
My younger one likes to put his shoulder down on the ground and rub his head and shoulder along the ground, snorting. :P It's so funny!
Why, Jesse? You think they should meet some dogs - it's good for them? ;)
hi nancy {{hugs}}
well, with 36 left and nbt, I'm off like a prom dress
have a good day all!
And naturally he does, Jess - he has 'cattitude'.
You too, jbp. :)
laters
Actually, I would not like to encourage Ginge to get even more puppy-like. He loves to greet people by headbutting their ankles, at the moment. That's his new thing...
Awww. Nice that he's so friendly!
finally found a 7 (di7/40).....any clues for the other???
The other is on7,44.
You've only seem him looking very innocent, I think. You should catch him during one of his mad half hours..
{{{Jesse}}}} and hi everyone
What you do to a knapkin after you wash it, before putting it away - and don't do it twice. ;)
Oh that reminds me, I was going to put him in my flickr - I put more pictures of Korea up in there, as well. More ridiculous Engrish. There's something in there I think you'll like, Julian ;)
Hello you!! :)
Oh?
got , thanks for the clue
{{{{JC}}}}} lovely to see you too! xo
Hmmm. Remember I have had cats, Jesse - so I realise they only look innocent. ;)
Ah. Well lovely to see you too, {{{{SF}}}}}. ;)

g'morning all
Hello, Pini! :)
hiya JC :)
Ah, sorry - no it isn't. :P
That's me overtired - no sleep last night. :/
I can't even see straight.
Then again, I'm not. :P
Napkin!
why no sleep last night JC?
I think I'm awake, but even I'm not sure about that!
In very late, then just couldn't. Stress, a lot on my mind, etc. It happens.
Seems to be the state I'm in, Pini.

we have 4 adult children... 7 granddaughters, 1 grandson and 2 step granddaughters, so girls "rule" in this family ;-)
hiya ((((((( var ))))))) :-))
OH. Did think it was a bit strange that you mentioned a place I'd never heard of, buuut, my geography of the British Isles is not, shall we say, stellar. Well, if you get the chance to come to London, do - it's lovely :P
ours too diane -- also have 7 granddaughters, but no grandsons as yet

haha i just saw the family guy where adam west kills the n*** and says "Looks like the N*** should have avoided ME"
wowee! do you know how long it is?
se4...don't stop but ...
this reminds me of the first time I played Babble, it was like pulling teeth, but with the help of the crew, I got it done
just add a vowel on the so4/5 too
that one I had m9 - it means money in Italian
Hello all...
hiya Jellen!
hi Jellen
read back to pick up a few clues, it's been Babble for Dummies here for a while
(sorry I meant me, not you) :)
I need a 6 letter s and I have the 6/21
past tense of the lay hold of village then
past tense of the grain storage unit
hi jellen!
and the extra vowel on very last so
cause there's 2 6/21
have si 6/27, si 6/21 and so 6/21
se 6/21
what the usher did
there's the pt of to occupy a chair...
Feeling the prickle of a fresh sunburn...It was such a nice day, but I forgot to wear sunscreen...
thanks, PAV, I was quite blind today! - thank you everyone - enjoy the FIREWORKS!
huzzah jbv!
Hooray, JBV!!!
yay JBV!
YAY!!! JBV rah rah rah!!!!
I saw the dogs in your pics Leslie...reminds me of Joey's groomer's new place...no kennels ...lots of dogs...I was more afraid of what Joey will do with so many bigger dogs around...
oh from the dog park? my critters love it.
ok.. I need to see if my daughter needs a rde..
i was worried about the little guy, my foster, there... but he holds his own. the other day he told off a husky who was humping another dog and the husky stopped!
they have a doggy day-care as well, but I'm afraid since they told one of their regulars is a pit bull, that my Precious and Joey would not get along...
bye for now = thanks again everyone and good luck
eh, pit bulls are just like any dogs, if they are raised well they will behave well
Bye, JBV
you could always meet the dog you're worried about first
we just had a run in the other morning with a pit bull....we're allowed pets up to 35 lbs ea, and this one was a bit large...they didn't like him at all...luckily there was a gate separating us...
but I do have friends with a rather large pit bull who is scared of her 5 lb poodle mate...
haha
Siren, the pit bull, is a rescue and is the sweetest dog I've met...
yes if they're raised well they can be amazingly sweet
and even if not - i want to get the book about michael vick's pit bulls, a where are they now type of thing
I used to have a pit bull mix...
Precious and Joey, however, think they rule here and Joey is more outgoing, but more of a people dog; Precious as a Llahsa is supposed to be guarded
what kind of dog is joey?
Joey, until the groomer finished is a Lhasa-sheep dog mix...lhasa mixed with something, hair like a sheep dog, only with double fangs
until the groomer finishes, rather
sounds adorable ;)
he'll be shaved today, in time for the winter coat to come in
I was trimming his brows so I could see his face, but moving around his muzzle is tricky with the fangs
oopsies, brb, I was looking for their pic and I realised I didn't reload the photos when Apple replaced my hard drive last month
ok we're back for a bit...
uh oh, It's 4 o'clock already...time to p/u Joey....had too much fun here i guess...will bbl
Just loaded a pic with Edgar and the Babble bear...
awww!
my cat is telling me loudly that it is 7 minutes late for dinnertime! how dare i!
lol, LA
adorable, jellen!! :-)
My cats are born posers...they get settled and don't move much...
also i saw the pit mix in your stream, jel... very cute.
She was such a sweet dog...
pits get such a bad rap . . . sigh
Wish I'd worked with her more...she would have loved being an indoor dog, but I didn't have the discipline...
all of my rescues are spoiled rotten indoor girls :-)
My next dog will be an indoor dog...
:-D
fw!
WOOHOO for Jellen!!!!!!!!!!!
huzzah jel
want to clue some 7s?
Thank you!
Thank you!
di7 danced like John Travolta!
di 7 = di 5 + past tense; think Boogie Fever
ah thanks
:-D
on 7 = 1 + I can't **** fitted sheets, so I wad them up in the cabinet...
LOL!
haha
Actually, they're sort of rolled...
hi everyone
Hi, graely
i am starting to think that some of these words are not really words
ohmygod, jellen, I just watched a video showing how to fo** a fitted sheet -- I STILL don't think I could do it "right" LOL!
yeah there's some weird ones
hey, graely
i have all but 12 and i am stumped!
have you tried the lickety's babble clues link under the tile stats, graely? it helps with the last few
brb...going to put laundry load #1 in...
yep im on it and i think i have tried every combination at least twice
what are you looking for?
working on the last te at the moment
to take care of as in "te** a garden*
HInt for the o/7?
hi all.. and it looks like some people spend WAY too much time on folding their fitted sheets! (just had to look up a vid!)
Ah, jeez, just got a look at my face and upper chest in the mirror...I got really red this afternoon!
never fails, i ask for a clue and get the word before someone gives me a clue
jellen clued on7 a few minutes ago
jellen clued at 6:20, jan
got any aloe Jell??
or tea bags?!??
Somewhere...
brb...
tea bags are great
Thanks, Jellen and uneaixoise...fireworks now.
congrats, jan!
anyone want to share some 6s? i have de, di, ol, se, si, so
yay jan!
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
co6 is pt of co5/12
hey min

Yay, jan!!!

Hi, Min!
Found some baby wipes with aloe...
hi min
oh.. not the same. Better go with tea bags!
might be drying, jellen
(baby wipes,that is)
i have the past tense of farm building si6, what is the other?
Tea bags, really? Dampen them and wipe on?
pour hot water on.. steep, cool and then use them to swab everywhere...
I steep them very dark and then put a couple ice cubes in to cool them down quickly..
the tannic acid is what helps
so it has to be actual tea. not herbal
My dad taught me that one when I was little.
How'd you know what I was going to ask, lol...
think a war at a castle leslie
I'm psychic!
LOL
I've read mangosteen is good for it too.

Congratulations Uneaixosie on fireworks! Way to go!
do you have de6 - to win, graely?
Goodbye Uneaixoise! Ill see you tomorrow in the chat
Go graely go!
yep
yay une!
,issing the de4,5 and the 5,18 below it
oh Jell! apple cider vinegar is supposed to help! have any of that?
Nope! Not sure I have tea bags, either :-)
and the 5,22 and the 4,7
Oh, wait, maybe I do have the vinegar...
de 4/5 is te 4/5 backward and de 5/18 is de plus not skinny graely.
The pantry was Tim's domain...
thank you!~
hopefully it's woodaged. that's better. but the idea is to balance the skin's ph. if you don't have that.. you can do baking soda.
google it.
I do have baking soda...
it says 1/2 cup to a tepid bath and soak in it.
or.. just dissolve some in a big bowl, wet a nice not rough cloth, and drape the cloth on for a whle (it will feel good cause it's cool).. as the cloth warms, just redip it and put on again
that way you can treat the burn, feel better and still BABBLE!!
I may be going out again tonight, but I will keep these in mind...
The aloe baby wipe helped with the prickles...
well good!
de 5,22 please?
I feel so silly...I'm always telling people to use sunblock, but forget to use it myself!
de + *** crept in on little cat feet...
I think that dissolving some baking soda in cool water and then just swabbing it everywhere would be quick and not stinky (quite the opposite I suppose!).. and getting the ph balanced sooner than later would be a good idea.
OR de + What San Francisco and London are famous for, weather-wise
ke6?
Okay, brb...getting the baking soda...
thank you
ke6.. chemistry. We usually see it with a diff vowel. what we look for on pee strips.
ke6.. chemistry. We usually see it with a diff vowel. what we look for on pee strips.

feather that does sound fun, were the clowns scary?
it's funny, the circus has changed a bit. only one ring, and not as many clowns. there were a couple, but then they also wore more regular clothes while they did silly things.
the boys loved it.
then the di7/40 = past tense of the di5/14 which is a nightclub or dance style of the 70s
sounds like a good time, feather

I'm very cl 5/12 to the finish line so here's a story of clues for today's da 4/5 October 2, 2010 in case any of you ne 4/5 help. Had to fe 4/8 for myself with the grid today. I got no help from monkeys today. When I went to get monkeys, they pretended to be de 4/7 by saying they could not hear me.Then they had a fa 4/11 headache. I usually te 4/5 to sc 5/14 monkeys, but today I wasn't so4/5 on the idea of fighting with them so I let them go. They ran away on their fe 4/7 to go digging for go4/7. So I didn't fe4/8 them fe4/7 cheese which they love.Ne4/5 to ta4/8 a break.I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and get se6/21 on my co4/7 so4/7 & watch the di5/14 film Saturday Night Fever. Usually like to watch suspense films that keep you on the ed4/7 of your se4/4 like the movie Under Si5/14, but I LOVE Saturday Night Fever. I've se 4/4 it so many times. I also like John Travolta. He is a ne 4/4 actor. I'll be back later after I've ea5/10 dinner and watched my movie to accomplish the fe4/7 of de 6/20ing this grid.
nice story min!

going to bed early since I'm done and there's nothing on the boob tube. nighty night all.
i'm debating if i want to eat again tonight. I'm all out of sorts on day 3 of Pacific time. Though i'm handling better than the 5-mo-old
sleep well, minski :)
sweet dreams, minski
perhaps just a light snack will do, dc ?
hey seain! i just went, lol. did my best to block whatever great play you have planned next!
at least the little one is asleep

i'm in a high-end hotel, but cannot find a room-service menu in my suite
ok, what the heck is the ref wearing on his hands on my game? thin black wrist band that has a loop that goes around two of his fingers
well that stinks
what town are you in Seain? Is there a Babble person there? Phone them for some home delivery LOL
I'm in Riverside, CA, and nearest Babbler i know of is 2h away in San Diego.
i go home tomorrow, though i'd really like to stay longer. I'll have to come back to this place sometime when i'm not here with a baby.
Maybe a short walk then to find some food. could even be the front desk
sleeping baby here with me, i don't want to go out, for if she wakes up with diaper or hungry, i need to be here.
oh, how sweet to watch a baby sleep\n.
what are you doing there? i haven't been keeping up lately!
friends brought me out to help with childcare while they attend www.babytattooville.com
i'll hit the taco stand down the street later perhaps. an aqua fresca would be lovely.
I hope they are not going to tattoo that poor child!
........interesting name! lol
call the front desk, ask if they can send up a menu
indeed not, bugs. baby tattoo is a small press that publishes art books, and this is a small gathering with access to several artists -- painters and the like
website has details and photos from years past
I have 2 moere words to find and then I intend to look it up. The name just sent my mind flying to all kinds of tatooed babies... :)
understandably :)
i think i should list with 39 to go, and flip coming up.

ok...checking out again until next TD! :)
halo, Pinikula! Xx!
oh nm, she's gone!
she's watching an american football game, so is a bit distracted, George :)
oh yeah, watching all those fit players, eh? ha!
it's kinda cool that the come around each night to offer ice.
OK, my one left is de4/7...I'll get the tartar sauce ready if someone will clue....
de4 of our lives
Hi everybody. How are you all tonight; and how is the grid? Is it worth staring this late in the day?
Susan De* + plural
ty, min i get several from your story
Hi, Nef!
i'd say not worth it at this point, nef, and good evening to you
Yummy fish and FW
congrats, JJ
Hooray for Jilly!!!
yeah, I finished the grid rather quick
took me an hour...oh well...
if you complete some of the grid, do you lose points for not completing it, or do you get what points you've racked up even if you don't finish it all?
you get partial credit, but take a ding for not finishing
like, is it worth doing some of it, rather than none??
oh do ya? what sort of a ding??
see the explanation in the rankings -- it's rater complicated
bbs -- going to the taco stand
Later, dc!
niters DC...
It's not so much a ding to not finish; you actually get another point for finishing I think
off to FB, may be back for flip...Jellen, your turn to keep myself and hubby in prayers, too complicated to tell all here....
Goodbye Jillyjill! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
Will do, Jilly...
Oh, was messing around with iTunes...
hi. I forgot there is another hour
Hi herinfernallady! How are you? Welcome to the grid
Hi Min and thank you
Hi, herin
HI Jellen
HI herin and Jellen. I thought I was the only one left
I'm just popping in and out...
I forgot about the time change
And hi Min! Can you tell I'm distracted tonight?
I have been here off and on all evening, but hello Nef!
Phantom words for me today were discl5/12 & noisy.
Yeah, we won!!! :)
hi all (game's over)
Hi Pini. What game were you watching?
Hello Pinikula! How are you? Welcome back to the log!
Oregon v. Stanford! (Oregon won!)
Washington beat USC, too! :)
Today is a good PNW day!
hi min
52 to 31...huge scoring game...
Well, congrats to the PNW today (IF they weren't playing MN, that is! ;-)
:)
so, anyone ne4 help with any clues?
feed
(oops)
sorry; wrong box --AGAIN! <slapping forehead; rolling eyes!>
on7?
University of Oklahoma beat Texas, too!
yeah, jellen!
on7 = single + **** the laundry (before putting away)
on 7 = 1 + origami makes use of paper ****ing
great clues, you guys!
Thanks!
opps drifted off again
it's okay if you're "drifty" herin. We still love you! ;-)
Just reading that my friend has to rehouse her new rescue dog she attacked her other dog
Oh, that's too bad!
was distracted momentarily...they set a new record for number of people at the stadium today...approx 1,000 more people than reside in the city I live in!
I think that the dog is damaged and just needs a one dog home
(the stadium is 1/2-mile from my house)
sorry to hear, herin
That happened to us when we adopted a second dog...it was okay for almost a year, then the younger dog decided she wanted to be the alpha dog...
It just breaks my heart that this poor rescue dog has to be rehoused again
that is sad, herin
Well the lady that has her is crazy dog lady any way she made a dog cake for her dogs first birthday so she is in good hands
gold
golds
tee hee, Nef!
OKAY!! Off to the PB for me! No more chat tonight!
Oh, no Nef...we don't mind!
(Till I quit, anyway) ;-)
Has your gone back?
(note to self look before enter) So has your clocks gone back again?
No, not yet
Tonight?
Nov. 7th, Herin
Standard time begins each year at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November, with clocks moving one hour back.
Ok So I get stuck here for another hour pout I want a new grid
