12:14 am

oh chug! here's a chug hug! {{{{chug}}}}

12:14 am

yeah im taking clonazepam

12:14 am

Ah. Sorry to hear that, ChuggaBOOM! Have had lifelong battles with depression and anxiety attacks, so understand about that. Yes, it's treatable.

12:14 am

i went literally a week without sleep.. i just couldnt do it.. and lack of sleep causes paranoia and paranoia causes lack of sleep (or in my case NO sleep) so it was a vicious cycle

th 6 x 2

12:15 am

yikes!

12:15 am

Yes. That is rough - hope things are much better for you now?

12:15 am

glad to see you here and coherent then chug!

12:15 am

they are getting there again

12:15 am

Hello, m9...

12:15 am

clonazepam is my ultimate savior

12:15 am

hi J.C.!

12:15 am

have you been on it before, chug?

12:15 am

Hello...

12:16 am

no this experience is new

12:16 am

whatever works, Chugga, to help you get on top of this thing

12:16 am

hi jellen

12:16 am

remember, you have lots of friends here

12:16 am

hi jellen!

so glad they found the med that works for you; that is a huge step

12:16 am

hello jellen

12:16 am

what a lovely theme

12:17 am

i just hope my anxiety doesnt beat the meds.. then i'll panic twice as much as ive already been through.. but theres my anxiety speaking again lol!

fireworks no list

once you've got nbt you're almost there on this one

12:17 am

wow josh, wtg

12:17 am

wtg josh!

12:17 am

I wish you well chug. granddaughter has been battling her demons for years

12:17 am

try other things like excercise and walking chugga if you can

12:18 am

wd josh!

12:18 am

Anxiety and panic attacks are no fun - but they are controllable with medication. Had to be on it for years, in order to control them.

12:18 am

that's a Yay josh !!

exercise was a huge help in my dealing with anxiety, for what it's worth

12:18 am

Yes - healthy diet and exercise and getting proper sleep are all helpful.

12:18 am

It really is - I took up rowing and it really did help.

12:18 am

hey ruru!

any outlet that helps calm you down (in this case, through exertion) makes a big difference

12:18 am

cug, recognising what's happening is part of the cure, isn't it?

12:18 am

wtg, josh!

12:19 am

hey m9

12:19 am

yes.. when I get the blues, I immediately look to my diet.

ty everyone, but this one's not too tricky, save the q and an h or sommat

12:19 am

m how do you have time for blues? lol you seem so together to me

12:20 am

i hope! ive realized i have a panic disorder towards the idea of sleep or lack thereof, so i dont know i just hope my panic will eventually subside without the meds at some point again... ive beeen through almost the same thing when i was 10

12:20 am

but anxiety was not this high at ALL

12:20 am

what?!?!?!? me?!?!??

12:20 am

yes, you !!!

12:21 am

best of luck balancing yourself out chugga.. I am glad you are doing better

i hope for the best for you chugga - it's a tough, sometimes lonely road but you've just got to keep it up

12:21 am

nosey me wants to know how old you are now, chug, and male or female?

12:21 am

18 going on 19 in a month, male

12:22 am

ah chugga. it gets better.

12:22 am

Ah, tough age, chug.

great that you are getting treatment now, at such a young age

12:23 am

YAY dee!!!

12:23 am

Yay dee !!

12:23 am

good for you Dee

thx may I help before I poof

12:23 am

thank you dee haven't even started

12:24 am

Congrats, Dee!

12:24 am

I could use a clue for the Q, volley -

12:24 am

that Q has me buffaloed, dee...

12:24 am

me too!

only one vowel in the word

qu 5/18... qu + the word for heavy traffic (... hour) minus the vowel

12:25 am

with the QU only vowel is the U, if that helps

so you technically don't have to use any vowels since there's a u in the Q tile

12:25 am

the next letter in the Q word is R

12:25 am

I think it probably will, Chug - as it did with me over the years. You are only young yet, yes - mine didn't start to noticably subside until I was in my thirties - it really subsided a lot throughout my forties, until I was finally able to come off the medications. I would try cutting them back every so often with my doctor's approval, to see how I managed on lower dosages. You are at the age where it was worst for me, so hang in there! It was very managable with medications during that time...

12:25 am

lurking fire works

12:25 am

that helps, erda...*looking*

12:25 am

Congrats, pugmama

12:26 am

YAY pug!!!

12:27 am

JC can be a great comforter

12:27 am

brava flosey -- not an easy word!

12:27 am

You're welcome, Chug - hope so!

12:27 am

Hi, nan

12:28 am

hi nan

12:28 am

12:28 am

Hello cybernan and Jellen...

12:28 am

When is EvaNadine's wedding day?

12:28 am

Yes. It has teeth...

12:29 am

some have already finished nan

12:29 am

don't know the exact date Christine very soon

12:30 am

I think it's Oct 14, Christine, hence the icon theme.

12:30 am

no it doesn't. I know.. because that's my phant!

12:30 am

May I have stats for the lower right E, please?

12:30 am

lol, m9!

12:30 am

Thursday is not a usual day for a big wedding jilli

12:31 am

but maybe you're right

12:31 am

true, west!

12:31 am

there's no words off that e!??

12:32 am

Thank you westford - and Jillibus, I thought your icon was for Grandparents - or was that yesterday. Very exciting time for her (and for him).

12:32 am

nbt

12:32 am

wow.. the q word is crazy

12:32 am

Oh! the lower left E!! lol

12:33 am

yw Christine and wtg m !

12:33 am

I'm obviously too tired to be here...

12:33 am

et 4/5 - it's the crossed D

12:33 am

lisp the letter before t

12:34 am

Christine, yesterday's theme was for "surprising ancestors" -- tday's is for weddings, in honour of EvaNadine's. All you have to do is click on my icon to see the themes.

12:34 am

Thanks! Christine and west!

12:35 am

brb...

12:35 am

wtg m9!

12:35 am

I generally look at Sprite's. It helps if I have the correct day. lol

12:35 am

I have done so - I thought your icon was leftover from yesterday - I should know by now, you're always up-to-date on your icons.

12:36 am

jilli I love those old wedding photos with the man seated

12:36 am

I just copy Sprite's into mine, so that people who aren't there for sprite's time zone can see what the themes are.

12:36 am

and your grandmother was a beautiful woman

12:37 am

I put Sprite in my friends..I'm seldom on when she is

12:37 am

thanks, west -- she must have been courageous too.

12:37 am

it's a treat when I am though she's such a dear

12:38 am

oh definitely jilli

12:38 am

Yes, west, putting Sprite in your My Friends is a good idea, but there are many here who are never up when sprite is online so they can't do so.

12:38 am

I think I just got it from rankings

12:38 am

changed my icon

12:38 am

not sure it's been so long

12:39 am

me too changed my icon

12:39 am

lovely m

12:39 am

what's the pic ruru?

12:40 am

nice, m9 -- and what's that all about, ruru? A wedding???????

12:40 am

texas loves you anyway ruru

12:40 am

Well. You bunch of flaming he6,21s! ;)

12:41 am

thanks west. My first real awareness of weddings was the one in The Sound of Music.

12:41 am

thanks J.C.!! (I think...LOL)

12:41 am

12:41 am

12:41 am

hmmm, JC X-/

12:41 am

12:42 am

Oh come now - that was a fun clue. ;)

12:42 am

12:42 am

12:42 am

Well. Perhaps some of you do? ;)

12:42 am

very fun. and hot!

12:42 am

no that's my uncle

12:42 am

I only saw Julie Andrews m Did Mary Martin do it on Broadway?

12:42 am

yes.

12:42 am

I have an album with Mary Martin.

12:43 am

oh that must be wonderful

12:43 am

who played the male lead?

12:43 am

sang I should say?

12:43 am

so, ruru, that's more like yesterday's theme, lol!

12:43 am

oh.. well .. I am soooo yesterday anyway

12:43 am

delete question mark

12:44 am

JC, I'm thick and can't get that he6 :(

12:44 am

not homosexual jilli

12:44 am

So, ruru. How about that invitation?

12:44 am

oh, should have known, ruru, lol!

12:44 am

the OMG POP one.. I am playing that JC

12:44 am

Jill, think of what one might call me, in that regard - then think of the opposite?

12:45 am

Ah yes, quite - what ruru just said. ;)

12:45 am

Goodnight Babblers. I am halfway done. Gotta get up early for a vet appointment!

12:45 am

got it, JC, sigh!

12:45 am

You haven't accepted the connection on OMGPOP, have you, ruru?

12:45 am

Laura - thought you were gone?

12:45 am

I did. I am playing it

12:45 am

G'night, faux -- for your adoptee?

12:45 am

I wouldn't have logged out so soon, had I known you were staying a few minutes more?

12:45 am

oh that reminds me..hi and bye faux

12:45 am

I hate the term homosexual...

12:45 am

bye faux sleep well.

12:45 am

yes Jill.

12:45 am

Well yes, it isn't one we particularly like.

12:46 am

Just taking leave JC.

12:46 am

Laura? :/

12:46 am

what do you prefer, ruru?

12:46 am

a Michigan man took his dog to the vet because she was very sick and in lots of pain..stop me if you've heard this

12:46 am

I think gay is better..

12:46 am

Thanks m9.

12:46 am

Yes, ruru - quite.

12:46 am

go for it westie

12:46 am

*poof*

12:47 am

bye faux

12:47 am

Bye, lovely Laura. x

12:47 am

However, ruru - meant the one from Yahoo?

12:48 am

no.. I haven't done that one yet

12:48 am

I'd like a term which is more original and less "stolen" than gay. What about that old "gay Lothario"? Wasn't he a hetero?

12:48 am

the vet recommended that the dog ( a rotty ) be put down. So the man sat with her until she died, took her home to bury her and when he went to get her she was at her food dish

12:49 am

Theodore Bikel

12:49 am

Many years ago I read an artical by a gay man, who said if they were called gays, heretosexuals should be called drears -- I like taht idea.

12:49 am

Lothario sounds pretty gay to me

12:49 am

oh, funny, west!

12:50 am

I don't get it west..

12:50 am

Zorro, the gay blade. (that was the title of a film my friend received in error).

12:50 am

yes, Christine!

12:50 am

now he's upset because he doesn't want to go through that again

12:50 am

No. Neither do I. Think something's missing - like the punchline? Or isn't this a joke?!

12:50 am

I still haven't found that bldy Q word, grrr.

12:50 am

the vet put the dog down, pronounced her dead, the guy took dog home and she revived

12:51 am

any clues for the qu? -- have everything else

12:51 am

Putting an animal down is the worst .. the most terrible thing

12:51 am

This is a true story?

12:51 am

oh no, it's true

12:51 am

me too, nan

12:51 am

Yes, it certainly is - had to go through it. :(

12:51 am

Goodness...

12:51 am

Q + most of a great babble player H****y

12:51 am

I've had to go through it too often.

12:51 am

now the man is all panicky..what if he'd buried her alive or had her cremated

12:52 am

but the end of the story is weird

12:52 am

ty ty ty ruru -- nbt.

12:52 am

he should put the vet down.

12:52 am

it kind of sounds like something Arnold Schwartzenneger would say> "I vill qu5 you like a bug!"

12:52 am

What a weird word, ruru.

12:52 am

he's giving her up for adoption so someone with money can take care of her

12:52 am

only babbler I can think of is haz

12:52 am

ROFL m9!!!

12:53 am

Ah, ruru - did you get the email?

12:53 am

With a link to a clip?

12:53 am

I wouldn't like this guy westie.. I can never give up an animal that lives with me

12:53 am

yes jC.. but my computer wouldn't play it.. might have been blocked by Sonic Wall

12:53 am

I can't either - mine are my children!

12:54 am

Hmmm. I could send the clip to you if you use an instant messenger, ruru?

12:54 am

so true they are members of our family

12:54 am

I have a lot of biz stuff and this computer and have heavy duty protection

12:54 am

fest is not found in the dictionary????

12:54 am

Do you use any instant messengers, ruru?

12:54 am

I am not that computer literate jc...sorry

12:54 am

guess you have to add ival m

12:55 am

Ah. Well you're missing out - isn't he, Jill? He could've heard the most scary story ever. And had nightmares tonight. :P

12:55 am

<---still rubs sticks to light a fire

12:55 am

that Q is "1. a cupronickel coin and monetary unit of Saudi Arabia, the 20th part of a riyal. 2. a former coin and fractional monetary unit of several Middle Eastern and North African countries."

12:55 am

I caught Theodore B in passing m chat's moving too quickly

12:55 am

Hmmm...

12:56 am

liked him as a folk singer back when

12:56 am

The Hairy Toe.......

12:56 am

Ah. Thank you, Jill...

12:56 am

And yes - that one. :P

12:56 am

any other clues for the q? -- don't know who ruru's great babbler is

12:56 am

<---doesn't have a hairy toe either

12:56 am

Neither do I.

12:56 am

Just be quiet, Jill. ;)

12:57 am

I think it's himself.

12:57 am

q and anagram traffic

12:57 am

Silence is golden ;)

12:57 am

qu + to scamper around quickly without a u

12:57 am

or what traffic isn't but called that when it's bumper to bumper

12:57 am

sounds like a chocolate bar

12:57 am

the h****y that sounds like a chocolate company but spelled differently

12:58 am

Yes, Jill. It certainly is!

12:58 am

was also the name of a jackie chan movie: *u** hour

12:58 am

sounds like a drunken swearword

12:58 am

ah yes -- we have seen that one before -- ty

12:58 am

that's it m

12:58 am

*!* ta da *!*

12:59 am

should I ask about the hairy toe or is that an inside joke

12:59 am

well, there have been famous dysplastics, although I'm sure he wasn't. We were ridiculed by top Dane people in the early 70s for insisting on hip X-ays.

1:07 am

Yay JC !!

1:07 am

YAY JC!!! Genius!

1:07 am

Hardly, Jill - many have already finished. :P

1:08 am

Time I was elsewhere - poof!

1:08 am

But you've been chatting too, JC

1:08 am

we may.. he needs to have the right things to make that decision lynxxx.. if he is just a nice boy I will likely neuter him.. if he finishes quickly and does well in obedience.. I'll have second thoughts.

1:08 am

Bye JC!

1:09 am

ruru is a great dog person

1:09 am

take care JC

1:10 am

and he can earn his "points' by just doing obedience - you don't need to show him as well?

1:10 am

I am a good dog person jilli.. thanks

1:10 am

no.. they are two different things lynxxx.

1:10 am

Show is a beauty pagent..

1:11 am

and I am sure he is already "just a nice boy" with Ruru being his "dad"

1:11 am

He has to have great conformation (which he seems to have) and good movement and coat.

1:11 am

show is a judgement about whether conformation and type are good enough for reproduction.

1:11 am

Obedience we do together and his trainability and intelligence are bigger factors

1:12 am

We are really bonding lately

1:12 am

he also is settling down and is more managable

1:12 am

how lovely, ru

1:13 am

he sounds like a real darling

1:13 am

<--- proud of his dog

1:13 am

doesn't he

1:13 am

2:07 am

I hate when I miss the easy ones

2:07 am

or the plurals !

2:08 am

I hate when I put in the plural, then forget the singular.

2:08 am

oh yeah I do that too lol

2:08 am

2:16 am

morning all

2:17 am

morning, Sprite

Morning all how many words please

2:17 am

sheezzz what's up with the tiny grids!

2:18 am

58, sandra

Thanks

2:20 am

ugggghhh - 6 left

2:20 am

you can do it, Chris!

2:21 am

Can I ask a big favor - I hate to be called Chris

2:21 am

of course, sorry

2:21 am

you can do it, Christine!

2:22 am

I know, it's a pain - but my Mother never allowed anyone to shorten our names. My daughter is Vanessa, and herr Dad's 2nd wife taught the children to call her Nessy

2:23 am

ouch! Like the Loch Ness monster, lol. And it is no pain at all, didn't know you disliked it. Won't do it again.

2:24 am

Y'know, y're a gbood girl.

2:24 am

a good girl, too.

2:24 am

;) Only when I am not a bad one.

2:24 am

I feel the same way about Louise which is my proper name....

2:25 am

they call you Lou? I can imagine you're not happy with that.

2:26 am

I have never liked Lou or louie or weezie... Just Louise....

2:26 am

I think a lot of Americans especially shorten names as a sigh of friendship. Maybe they do in England, now - it's almost 50years since I lived there, so I'm sure everything has changed.

2:26 am

Weezie??? My... sounds like one of Snow White's little admirers, grin.

2:26 am

Weezie was George Jefferson's wife.

2:27 am

That's right... I would just tell everyone... i do not look a bit like her ...LOL

2:27 am

I tend to shorten long names from people I like. Sort of cordial thing. Or for expediency's sake, sometimes, when babblers call themselves things as momneedshelp or something.

2:28 am

when typing I tend to shorten too... some names jus t need to be shortened... some can not .. my new nephews name is phoenix...

2:29 am

My son-in-law is Christopher, and I'm the only one that doesn't call him Chris. Except once - it just slipped out of my mouth and he doesn't let me forget it - two years ago.

2:29 am

grin, phoen is nothing, nix is worse.

2:29 am

awwww the elephant memory type

2:30 am

My Mother used to say if I wanted you called .... I'd've Christianed you that name.

2:30 am

This little chat is helping... this grid is twisty and too short

2:30 am

lol

2:30 am

OMGos --- Christened

2:31 am

my full name is Cassandra and almost nobody calls me that. But I don't mind. I just don't listen to Sandra, for personal reasons. All the rest is ok with me.

2:31 am

then my husband says he did not know is name was not "shut up" until he was 6 LOL

2:31 am

OMGosh -- I think I need more caffeine.

2:31 am

I thought your mother really said it like that, Christine, I thought it brilliant.

2:31 am

*giggles* That is funny, grandy

2:32 am

but then he always says he walked up hill both ways to school....

2:32 am

hehehe

2:33 am

Oh, speaking of names, my former husband is a Southerner - lots of initials instead of names, and things like that. When WWII broke out, Jack's uncle went to enlist, and was told to bring his birt certificate, which he did. The Maarine enlistment officer suggested he might want to get it changed, since it said Baby .

2:34 am

Oh drat --- it said Baby Boy, and whatever was his surname.

2:34 am

that is better than my cousin who is sour moss then sir name

2:35 am

argh! That is some name. In the old days, people here might even have names like (translated) Sweetie or Girl or Boy.

2:35 am

Sour Moss? Ok, some people!

2:35 am

Sour Moss is a name ?

2:35 am

I imagine alcohol was involved somewhere... and legal too.

2:36 am

why do that to your child, I wonder. I have told this before, but maybe not to you: we used to have neighbours with the last name of Olie (=Oil). The man was Peter. And he named his daughter Petra.

2:37 am

he probalby had rich thoughts for her...

2:37 am

Do you remember when Dynasty was on tv - all sorts of weird names - I opened a bank account for a woman's baby - Raven Krystal and about four other soap opera names -- strange people.

2:37 am

I sometimes wonder if he had thoughts at all. If you have lived through the harassement yourself, why do it to your daughter as well?

2:38 am

soap operas generate a lot of names... so do books etc....

2:38 am

Raven krystall, ouch. I know someone who gave her daughter a name from each major religion. Also unbearable for a child.

2:39 am

And what about that rich man in the 1800s, his name was Hogg, and he named one of his daughters Ima. Unkind.

2:39 am

sure is

2:40 am

down to 10 and just guessing for the last two

2:41 am

I have 12 left and really digging here

2:44 am

cannot seem to figure out the Q word, lol

2:45 am

ah, asking is finding... weird one

2:48 am

Just googled it, and apparently the man (Governor of Texas) wasn't being unkind - Ima is short for Imogene, but he gave her the shortened version.

2:49 am

still unkind with a last name like that

2:51 am

On google it said her Grandfather heard about it, and rushed into town, but was too late to stop it. She was a very wealthy woman who gave much time and money to doing good works.

2:52 am

Grandpa had more sense than the father, at least.

3:00 am

the Q stands before me and the end....

3:00 am

Yay, me --- the last 4 were all four-letter words, of course, and all word I know..

3:00 am

Yay, me --- the last 4 were all four-letter words, of course, and all word I know. .

3:01 am

wtg Christine!

3:01 am

q + an anagram of the word for heavy traffic.

3:01 am

the Q is an arabic coin

3:02 am

down to 5 here

3:03 am

silly me!!!

thanks

3:05 am

yvw

3:05 am

That's what I was saying - the easy, obvious words don't get your attention -- we're too busy looking for the odd words.

3:06 am

8:30 am

8:35 am

I still refuse to believe that "fest" is not a word

8:37 am

and spam and email

8:37 am

Anyone have the he 6/21

8:38 am

he6/21 - not gay

8:38 am

ty msideb, that's fireworks for me

8:38 am

anyone need a clue or two

8:39 am

Nice!

8:40 am

I'm missing one s on the left, I have 4 sh words and 2 st words

8:41 am

Good morning all. Can someone give me the stats for the R5?

8:42 am

all of the sh words have the first four letters

8:42 am

mside, do you have the SH7? Is that the one you need?

8:43 am

I do not, got a clue for me? pretty please? I've got the r4 and am working on the r5, by the way

8:44 am

re5 is vintage cool

8:44 am

I got the R5. Thanks anyway

8:44 am

I just got it too, actually... groovy

8:44 am

The SH7 is less tall

8:44 am

and fyi i have 3 st4's

8:44 am

:-D

8:44 am

There are only 3 ST4s

8:45 am

love your logo, bernice!

8:45 am

thanks.

8:45 am

ok, gotta head out -- happy babbling! *poof*

8:45 am

me too. good luck with the grid all.

9:12 am

Good morning.

9:12 am

morning!

9:13 am

How are you today msideb? You ARE an addict I see! :-D

9:15 am

Join the club! Although I've learned that I have to stay away from Babble when I work these days (which is why I wasn't here the past 2 days)

9:17 am

Yes, I'm a bit of a wordaholic

9:17 am

Yes, I'm a bit of a wordaholic

9:18 am

nice to see young wordaholics these days. :-)

9:20 am

Call it a rebellion against the bastardization of grammar and language in which my internet-speaking peers are so deeply entrenched

9:22 am

Nice! I hope you win! ;-) I'm tired of the monosyllabic text responses that are showing up in public media these days too.

9:23 am

(Sorry for the slow response, my hubby -known as DH- just interrupted me because the cat got sick)

9:26 am

Yuck. My parents have cats... sick cats are no fun. Amen to that though. Nobody speaks like they used to in the old days, being coy using wordplay and tricky syntax and grammar to tactfully or expressively say something... like Charles Dickens, for example.

9:27 am

RU kidding.. I h8 that too

9:27 am

lol

9:27 am

ruru! You would do that! :-)

9:28 am

:)

9:28 am

Well played, ruru. haha

9:29 am

they say that "fest" isn't a word, but isn't it?

9:29 am

I'm actually allergic to cats; but my daughter lives with us and it's her cat. She's a pretty decent cat most of the time; and has been "paper trained" to hack up on paper towels normally; but you do have to catch her in the act

9:29 am

Allegedly it isn't a word; however, I refuse to believe that.

9:30 am

how about the sh5/12 for less hair

9:30 am

lol, ah, okay!

9:30 am

Haha, that's better that these two cats. Generally good, but they leave little vomit land mines occasionally and you never ever catch them in the act.

9:31 am

according to the dictionary that's used here it isn't a word; but that dictionary doesn't recognize other common words either

9:32 am

thret

9:33 am

It is a common mistake to confuse Enable with English. Any similarity is strictly coincidental.

9:33 am

doesn't work in this box or the add word box bogster

9:34 am

Haha

9:34 am

LOL, wht! You hit the nail on the head! :-)

9:37 am

Does anyone have a clue for the qu5?

9:38 am

q + what you do when you're in a hurry, but rearrange the first two letters

9:38 am

I don't wht. I was just asking for a clue for the qu myself!

9:39 am

huh! New word for me! Thanks msideb

9:41 am

ty mside.

9:41 am

9:42 am

Good morning!

9:44 am

9:45 am

Who is in your icon today, Jellen?

9:46 am

Hi, Nef...it was my maternal grandparents, but I just changed it...

9:47 am

Oh! Guess I'll refresh then. They look like a sweet couple!

9:47 am

Now it's Edgar and the Babble bear, along with Fluffy, a present from my niece...

9:48 am

They were a swell couple from what I've heard...I never knew my grandfather...he died when I was very young...

9:49 am

your profile pic still shows your grandparents; but I saw the icon pic in your Flicker shots

9:50 am

Ah well!

9:51 am

I need to get moving...I have exterminators coming this morning...

9:51 am

"it will change later on i think" was not found in the dictionary FUDGE!~ wrong box again! At least I won't be sent to the PB by the grid, though! :-D

9:52 am

Eww! Have fun!

9:52 am

9:52 am

See you later! Are you off work today?

9:53 am

9:58 am

want hints?

9:58 am

sure

9:59 am

good morning! how is everyone this amazing day? the sun is shining and has burnt off the last of our morning frost and the sun is shining on the hill spotlighting all our trees fall colours:) all the apples are now being harvested and the air is tinged with the smell of apples and wood smoke from the first evening fires of the year:)

9:59 am

no6/21 is plural of the vertical cardinal direction on a compass

10:00 am

se 6/18 is a type of dog (a hunting dog I think); the qu 5 is q + anagram for in a hurry; but I don't have the no 6 yet

10:00 am

oops, need the first se 6/18

10:00 am

Well crossy, you seem to be in a most chipper mood this morning! It is most certainly a gorgeous fall day outside

10:01 am

good morning crossy! It's beautiful here too! (But our apples have been harvested for over a month)

10:02 am

gosh, how did I miss that compass plural

10:02 am

fireworks! yay!

10:03 am

we have many varieties that are never harvested till they get a single kiss of frost

10:03 am

yaa for valle!

10:03 am

Sadly, my office has no windows, so I can't enjoy it as much as I'd like to, but nevertheless I hope it will be nice at least for a little while before the Nor'easter gets here

10:03 am

WTG, valle! YAY!!!

10:03 am

10:29 am

opps sorry

10:30 am

grandchild distracted me

10:31 am

The cats do the same thing to me!

10:33 am

the best way i can describe folding at home is the professors at stanford U have created a way to harness our spare and unused computer bandwidth cycles and put them all together to work as a single unit to "fold" human proteins and try and map the changes in cancerous and non cancerous "folds" in this way we can better understand it and eventually alter it before cancer evolves.the web site at folding at home will explaing it better than i can

10:34 am

i am running the program now on a low powered 1.6 gig computer,so anyone can do it

10:35 am

though faster computer can unlock more protiens per day

10:35 am

Phantom: Hornet.

10:35 am

ok ill stop the shameless plug now lol

10:36 am

but i will do this once per day till i see 100 babblers in our group

10:41 am

of faster computers you can open up the display and watch your computer fold a protein in real time,but anything less that a 2 gig machine i reccomend you just leave it running in the task bar and not worry bout the display

10:41 am

kk i am really done now

10:46 am

and i killed the chog;((

Thanks crossy - I lost the info from yesterday, and you had gone poof for the day! Will join up as soon as I finish the grid - she says hopefully . . .

10:50 am

10:50 am

ahh no new car smell,but a good choice

10:51 am

I like it. =D Black with leatherette interior. Heated seats. Sun roof. Satellite radio. *living the high life*

10:52 am

those jettas are always good for 300,000 plus with care

10:52 am

and Care I will take!

10:52 am

this is the first car I've ever picked out and paid for on my own.

10:53 am

10:53 am

tire pressure 32-35 psi

10:53 am

flush rad every 50,000

10:54 am

q?

10:54 am

and the rest will take care of itself

10:54 am

*takes notes*

10:54 am

if it is original battery,put fresh one in.

10:55 am

i never run a car battery over 5 yeears

10:55 am

but we get some nasty winters

10:56 am

I'm in the South. We don't do so bad.

10:57 am

in the automtive parts shops you can find special stems for your tire type and you buy them to macth you optimal tire pressure,and they have a tiny thing on the end that is green when your pressue is good and goes red when you need air.they run about 10 dollars a 4 pack.very handy

10:58 am

ooooh

10:58 am

sorry kje, no q here yet.

10:59 am

it is q+ what you do when in a hurry..but i have yet to put it together myself;(

phantom - her***ry

11:00 am

q + mixed up what you do when in a hurry.

11:00 am

qu + hurry without the u

11:04 am

lol,oh well,if i get all the rest then i shall worry bout it

11:09 am

Also, if you can't think of the word for hurry, it is the name of a rock band with Neil Peart and Geddy Lee...

11:10 am

Hooray for Jellen for knowing who Neil Peart is. One of the worlds best drummers.

11:12 am

A friend in Rio de Janeiro saw them for his 25th time last week!

11:15 am

People who love that band are rabid about them. I love Peart's drumming, Geddy's voice, not so much.

11:18 am

Yes, I have always had a thing about drummers...:-)

11:19 am

*F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S*

11:58 am

How are you, EvaN?

12:00 pm

nice! 8 words down and both 7s!

12:00 pm

Hi, LA!

12:01 pm

my head hasnt expoded yet. :)

12:01 pm

That's a good sign! :-)

12:01 pm

hallo

ooh, it is a tiny grid!!

12:01 pm

the countdown has reached single digits, so we are really close now!

12:02 pm

yes highly recommend starting on the first column

12:02 pm

Hullo, George!

oh yeah?

why's that?

halo, Jellen! Xx!

12:02 pm

cause you can find both 7s easy

ha! yeah, all right........

12:03 pm

hrm. i only have one of the 7s... the littler one. ;)

12:03 pm

there is also the more of a direction

12:04 pm

George, have you ever see The Philadelphia Story with Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, and Cary Grant?

ooh yeah, just found a directional 7!

12:05 pm

yknow, i kept wanting to tack an N on the end of that. never tried it on its own!

years and years ago, Jellen, why?

12:06 pm

jellen -- my father named me after the MGM musical High Society, which is the musical version of the philadelphia story! :)

12:06 pm

haha i was originally going to clue "further up," which shows up the extent of my geographical skills

that coulda meant 'higher', LeslieAnn!!

what most would think!

12:09 pm

Oh, the phrase, Hullo, George invariably takes me back to the scene where Stewart is carry Hepburn back from the pool and they run into her fiance...cracks me up!

12:10 pm

I'm easily amused...

oh yeah? a lot of people say that, or hallo! I just say halo cos I'm such an angel, ha, ha!!

12:11 pm

lol

12:11 pm

Hi again. I'm trying to be lazy today, but my dtr's cat has a queezy stomach today. She will urp on paper towels; so I run around putting paper towels down for her to urp on. Fun day.

12:11 pm

I'm sure you are!

oh yeah, halo and wings and the lot, ha!

12:11 pm

Oh, that's terrible, Nef!

12:11 pm

been there, nef.

12:11 pm

afternoon all

poor moggy, should she see a vet?!?

12:12 pm

Hi, Kazzer

12:12 pm

probably hairballs, nef. try giving her some margarine to help everything go down

12:12 pm

how is everyone

halo, Kazzer!

12:12 pm

howdy again everyone;)

12:12 pm

is the q a weird word

12:12 pm

Can you quarantine the cat to the kitchen or utility room so the mess is contained?

12:13 pm

hello everybody. 10 words left but I think I won't find them

is it only hairballs or is she sick?

12:13 pm

Crossy, I loaded the folding program...

12:13 pm

((ruby))

12:13 pm

i have been stumped, kazzer, even trying to figure out what the third letter would be

12:13 pm

Hi, ruby

yeah, that's a good idea, Jellen--and on a tile floor!

12:13 pm

in a way, I'm sure it's amusing: she makes a sound, I run and grab a paper towel and run to put it in front of her in time (I think she's having fun teasing me! She hasn't urped for the past half hour, but she does seem to be amuzed!)

12:13 pm

i have 12 left

12:13 pm

qu + He***ey's Kisses

12:14 pm

Oh! 3 left here...

oh that one is q + word for 'hurry' without the vowel

12:14 pm

huh. thanks jellen.

12:14 pm

ty jellen

it's a weird word, that, seen it before in puzzles!!

sorry, q + hurry without the first consonant!!

I'll be all right, perhaps not!

12:14 pm

th 5/18, please? I've gone blind...

12:15 pm

thanks for that

no, that's not it--need a holiday, ha!

12:15 pm

steal, jellen

q + normal vowel that follows + word for hurry, minus the vowel

12:16 pm

I think she ate the dog food as it doesn't seem to be hairballs. And she is staying in the kitchen now.

12:16 pm

Thanks, LA!

12:16 pm

we're putting a paper towel down for you, George

12:16 pm

!Fireworks!

12:16 pm

12:18 pm

I get an awaycation once in a while, crossy, but have to go away a lot for work, so if I get a chance to stay home and rest for a while I really appreciate it, it's so tiring--never sleep the same in hotel rooms as you do in your own bed!!

12:19 pm

12:26 pm

I'm totally confused. zoozz says he's gone and Jellen asks if he has internet access; yet he IS here!?!?

12:26 pm

laptops are good, except the battries only last for about 2 hours

means he's away, as in not home, got his laptop with him and using it!

12:27 pm

Zoozz is away from home, is what I meant :-)

12:27 pm

it's all very existential, nef.

12:27 pm

it is ok Nef, i am not at my home at the moment..lol

yeah, well if you can plug them into outlets wherever you are that helps!

12:28 pm

8 he words, 6 ho? what am i missing?

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

(And since English is my *only* language;....)

eh, that's all right--doing about as well as you are in that regard, Nef, ha! shoulda seen me trying to clue the q word, think I should just give up!?

Congratulations nef!!!!

1:24 pm

thanks, red

1:25 pm

Oh, Congrats, Nef!!!

sorry I was surfing about the internet. catching up on Basketball now that pre-season play is in effect.

1:26 pm

Sorry, she called me back...yes, she's very depressed, and lacks support from her significant other and his mom, who has moved in with them to help take care of her daughter...

1:27 pm

thanks, Jellen. I suppose I should dress now? It's 1:30 PM and the cat isn't puking anymore; and although it's my lazy day (after a 16 hour work day yesterday) I should do *something*

Jellen, while it wont help a lot, she can get a chemo angel, and they do help, sending little gifts and letters weekly... www.chemoangels.com

1:28 pm

I'll look into that for her, thanks, red!

I'm with you Nef, I got done with a prednisone pack last Sunday and was not anticipating how tired I would get.

1:28 pm

your friend going through chemo jellen?

1:28 pm

what about hospice? It isn't just for just the end of life

It's free Jellen, I used to do it, was very fun to find little gifts and uplifting things. they dont have to be getting chemo to participate.

1:29 pm

No, she's not on chemo at the moment...

1:30 pm

(((red))) steroids are awful to come off of

1:30 pm

I hadn't thought about hospice...

I only did a one week pack, should have had no effect really at all, but suddenly...I am really exhausted. could only go 3 miles today rather than the 9..

1:31 pm

brb

clue for the QU?

1:31 pm

just back from donating blood, for the 2nd time this year!!

1:39 pm

hiya periwinkle

good for you peri. I hope it goes to someone who deserves it.

question ? not game related though. I've opened a Flikr account,... started with one photo... NOW, how do I get it to interact with Babble ??

I have no idea!

nice, Peri :-) I was heading for my 100th donation but can't give any more since having breast cancer :-(

sad as my account is somehow linked to flikr.

I am not allowed to donate either.

I'm going to check my account settings... maybe it's in there.

1:41 pm

why red?

I went to Nigeria.

Phantom: teeth...

I use Picasa but have never used Flikr

1:42 pm

ah

It is a little stupid, but...they do not want me to donate...I guess I keep my blood.

1:43 pm

never, ever, red?

he6 and th6 for fw?

never again.

1:43 pm

:(

men who marry women are said to be He****

the th 6 I have is a plural.

1:46 pm

he6, one who picks up heavy things

1:47 pm

yw

I am avoiding the list, I figure with 15 left, I will not need it. though it would make it faster.

(too late, never mind) 8-P

Oh, OK. thanks.

stopping now, need a food break

other phantom: hornet.

1:48 pm

I am done, going to read for a while, may be back later

Trifs we need to hold a divorce party.

I don't know whether to offer up my condolences or say congratulations.

(this involves me sending my size 10 steel cap boots to kick his arse for being a dumb arse and moving on from someone as awesome as you)

8:04 pm

I love what you have posted in your profile about becoming your own woman instead of the one you thot you were to be when you were married. I feel exactly like that! but you are right, the day that it happens is often a sad one while we acknowledge the end.

8:06 pm

I hope you feel better soon Trif. You are a wonderful person and deserved better. Blessings to you all.

8:06 pm

thank you

Trifs a party also involves watching fav movies and pints of fav icecream and big wolfie hugs

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for trifs

8:30 pm

you go trif

8:31 pm

trifs...i read something recently...that might help

8:32 pm

that the end of a marriage is not a failure... but can been seen as the sucess it was....for the time period for which it existed....

8:32 pm

Late hooray for Trif!!!

8:36 pm

he6/21?

8:37 pm

he****sexual is interested in the opposite sex

8:38 pm

thanks for that carlee. I will try to think of it that way. I am 45 years old, and we were together for 20, so how can I just dismiss something that lasted almost half my life?

8:38 pm

thanks Jellen

8:39 pm

i am sad about all that I will never know, now. I will never celebrate my 50th anniversary....we won't visit with the grandchildren together. stuff like that

8:39 pm

Oh, Trif, have been there...was married almost 20 years...

8:39 pm

thanks jellen, love. and then you lost your darling tim....oh dear

Trifs. Never dismiss it accept it as it is and was. Reflect on what you have learned and created. Be sad that you are not going to have those milstones. But more importantly accept that you are a person and are allowed to feel like this. Validate feelings

8:41 pm

i think I am going to sign off now. I don't want to bum out the chog. we all knew it was coming, and now it has. I am going to have a big old wallow tomorrow, and then I am going to pull up my socks and get on with it.

8:41 pm

am 43 and we were 20 yerars too

8:41 pm

If you want to chat, I'm on FB...

8:42 pm

same for me trifs...

8:43 pm

wallowing is part of it....its called grieving...and to deny yourself that is to deny the healing process

sigh. Got to love stupid Martha Stewart laughing at Depression and this idiot Dr on her show linking it to food.

8:43 pm

!!!!!FIREWORKS!!!!!

8:43 pm

so wink into it...squish ur toes in there...roll around...get urself all oozy with wallowing...
