12:30 am

I have to admit something to everyone tonight

12:31 am

no miss jilli, the only sugar came with the yogurt I added into the cheesecake mix and the whipped topping mixed with mango puree...otherwise each bite had only one drop of honey squeezed from the bottle.

12:31 am

just gorged on giant black grapes with 1 seed in them, a bit of red wine, and 1 cranberry shortbread cookie.

12:31 am

12:35 am

13 left, time to look for some clues

any clues for the bottom row d & e please for nbt

2:37 am

di5/14 - Old fashioned verb form of 'to do'

2:38 am

er4/4 - Eric little comic counterparts

2:39 am

ed4 and ed5 - proofreads and makes changes

thanx Haz

2:39 am

You're welcome.

2:53 am

hello hello bonjour guten morgen etc etc

2:54 am

Suitable salutations! Good morning to you.

2:54 am

I have a cross and ill cat

2:54 am

That's not good news. What's wrong with her?

2:55 am

vomiting, diarrhoea, general grumpiness at the situation!

2:56 am

I'll bet and I imagine you're not too happy either.

2:56 am

Something she ate?

2:56 am

not vastly ... am going to whisk her down to the vets later, she's got such a sensitive tummy anyway that it's probably worth checking out

2:57 am

no idea! maybe ...

2:57 am

How long has it been going on?

2:58 am

2 days on and off, just now 100% on not off!

2:58 am

She's still drinking and on her feet?

2:59 am

yes .... I know I'm being overly worried, but she just has such issues with her tummy anyway ...

3:00 am

No, you're right to get her checked over if only to try to get the sickness stopped etc. Support your local vet, I say. No doubt she says something quite different.

3:01 am

that's what I was thinking, at least get her an anti-nausea something. and they are open normally on saturdays now, so it's not asking anything special of them

3:02 am

Plus, if you leave it until Sunday, you're probably into emergency fee time.

3:03 am

oh yes! they always like seeing Sily anyway

3:03 am

gosh, just thought, I don't think she's ever gone to the vets for anything but annual jabs and her original tummy problems as a kitten

3:04 am

She'll forgive you eventually.

3:05 am

it takes a while, she's one of those cats where you can turn the cat carrier upsde down and she still clings in it somehow

3:06 am

That could be a good party trick.

3:06 am

poor Sily - she knows what those vets are like

3:06 am

hello Haz and Ata and all

3:06 am

I know. Awful people.

3:06 am

Hello, lynxxx.

3:09 am

hi lynx! hi stew!

3:10 am

hi Ata, it is nice to see you, so infrequent nowadays

3:12 am

Greetings all

3:12 am

morning FM

3:13 am

Hello, FM!

3:13 am

Hi lynxxx and Ata and Haz Sorry to hear that Sily is not feeling so good :(

3:13 am

hi FM, lyn, Haz, Ata! :o)

3:13 am

and hello dfm.

3:13 am

hi dfm - you do keep odd hours

3:14 am

dfm do you need to be reminded to sleep or eat - can't remember what time it is with you.

3:14 am

Hello, dfm.

3:15 am

erm, possibly both, FM... :o/

3:16 am

:)

3:17 am

good morning everybody

3:17 am

although I'm not sure whether it's safer to cook while sleepy, or sleep on an empty stomach.

3:17 am

hi {{ruby}}! :o)

3:18 am

morning Ruby

3:18 am

{{dfm}}

3:18 am

Morning ruby.

3:18 am

poor Sily, she's off to the ve4 in 40 mins ...

3:18 am

hello lynxx, how are you?

3:18 am

hello haz

3:18 am

Good morning, ruby.

3:18 am

{{FM}}

3:18 am

and Ata is here! yay

3:19 am

haven't seen you in a long time

3:19 am

very well Ruby, spent the afternoon in my small front yard ripping out weeds - much neater

3:20 am

Hope you won't ache too much after that lynxxx.

3:20 am

dfm, you're going to end up with dodgy innards and a shot to bits system if you keep up this daft not eating and sleeping regime. You need to get into a pattern and stick to it, otherwise you'll get yourself into a mess.

3:20 am

hard to imagine gardening! but at least there is no snow left but cold and ground frost

3:20 am

and if you don't would you com eover and do mine too?

3:21 am

in that snow - you have to be joking!

3:21 am

nothing got pruned in my garden this year; I hope the roses will be OK until spring

3:21 am

aww... poor Sily Ata, is your icon a picture of her?

3:21 am

Mother Haz has spoken so pay attention!

3:21 am

and I had big plans for the overgrown spirea -- didn't happen

3:21 am

I liked the way he ignored Haz - he's game isn't he?

3:21 am

yeah, I know :o( I keep getting distracted from doing it though...

3:22 am

actually, no, but sily looks very simialar :)

3:22 am

uhoh, do I go to the PB for saying hello to a**?

3:22 am

let me put a pic of sily up. FM will be happy

3:22 am

I have a horrible feeling that he thinks it's more interesting to be neglecting himself than to conform to normal sleep and eating patterns. It won't be interesting when you have a breakdown!

3:22 am

oh yes :)

3:22 am

It's not interesting! :o( I don't like it either...

3:23 am

we will all be happy!

3:23 am

Then take steps to put it right. Schedule a time for eating and stick to it. Ditto for sleeping. I'm concerned for you.

3:23 am

Ata I was looking for the vid of sily purring the other day but couldn't find it :(

3:24 am

when I'm at home I have an alarm clock to remind me... >.>

3:24 am

and when you are on Babble you will get nagged to death so which is the easier option huh?

3:24 am

So, do the same where you are, or schedule your cell phone to go off at certain times. Get a system going or your system will be gone.

3:25 am

If you can't respond to your stomach telling you it needs fuel and if you won't give in to sleep at the right time, then you must make yourself obey the regime/timetable.

3:26 am

and stock up on some pre-prepared foods or healthy snacks so it no hassle to 'eat'. You have a micro-wave?

3:26 am

there is little sily :) I'll make you a new one, FM :)

3:26 am

Good thinking, lynxxx.

3:27 am

And switch off your computer so that you're not tempted by it sitting open when you waken from a nap.

3:27 am

awe I love Sily!!!

3:28 am

Can you have a cat FM?

3:28 am

aww ata I like that shot :o)

3:28 am

no pets allowed unfortunately otherewise I would deffo have a cat and a dog.

3:29 am

I make my monitor inaccessible when I go to sleep at night <.< to get to it I have to physically get out of bed...

3:29 am

So I have adopted Spangle Sily and Hobbit

3:30 am

Maybe you could get that rule changed if you can get the majority of the residents voting for it?

3:30 am

FM You could share Max and Ruby, too, if you like

3:31 am

and there's one FM hasn't seen cos I took it yesterday :D

3:31 am

Gosh I could have a virtual menagerie!

3:32 am

lol Ata just watching the flickr vid of Hobbit in the snow.

3:33 am

Well, I'm going to have to head off soon. It's round 2 of the Great Bridesmaid Dress Hunt today and if I have my way, it'll be the last.

3:34 am

round 2 seems definitely enough

3:34 am

good luck

3:34 am

I think so. You can only look at so many dresses.

3:34 am

I wish you good luck and good hunting Haz!

3:35 am

Bridesmaid! :oO

3:35 am

me bridesmaids dress was easy - I had my grandfather

3:35 am

This will actually be the first time that we've got both bridesmaids together, they've been trying on separately up until now. Divide and conquer, don't you know.

3:35 am

Did he look good in a dress lynxxx?

3:35 am

My daughter is getting married next year, dmf.

3:36 am

ooh :o)

3:36 am

mine, too, I had my son!

3:36 am

BBL convinced my husband we need an evening walk

3:37 am

TTFN then lynxxx

3:37 am

Well, off I go as well. I'll be back later. Toodle-oo!

3:37 am

3:37 am

3:37 am

3:38 am

3:40 am

3:43 am

lucky that haz is gone or I would get yelled at.....slinking off to the PB

3:44 am

She wouldn't yell at you ruby!

3:44 am

hahah

3:44 am

she'd yell quietly!

3:45 am

I would march you straight off to the PB though.

3:45 am

is there more coffee??

3:45 am

Haz doesn't need to yell, she just sounds disapproving

3:46 am

I am a stickler for etiquette.

3:48 am

lol Ata the same way stiddy's 'stern mama look' makes you sit up straighter.

3:48 am

yes LOL

3:48 am

and God help you when she starts tapping her toe!

3:48 am

this is a friendly grid, 111 words already

3:50 am

3:51 am

eeew I don't think so!!!!!!

3:51 am

3:51 am

ruby can I go find the chequered flag for you today? :oO

3:51 am

3:52 am

Time for me to be off as I have some work stuff to do and then a stroll into the village for Saturday papers.

lady, are the Florida oranges surviving the cold?

they say some are lost, but the growers are getting better at finding ways to keep them warm.

it was

5:39 am

unusual cold everywhere this year, lilecama

i just..cannot bend my brain around what it is i am supposed to do..and when people tell me how strong i am through all this..i dont know what the hell they are talking about...

then extend for a ta7

brilliant thank you

ne7? no, ne7 Mark.

9:15 am

I don't have it.

So it seems someone thought they'd try "shopping" at our house for Christmas the other day. Someone tried to steal our TV while we were at work.

9:16 am

you won`t get it if there is no NE7.

9:16 am

Ouch. That's terrible.

9:16 am

OMG!...did they get caught?

9:17 am

They should have. It takes time to undo and steal a TV.

No. The TV was bolted to the chest it was sitting on and I guess they didn't bring any tools with them. Honestly, I think they were interrupted when my husband came home early. But we're not certain if that is how it played out. They were actually pretty considerate in the fact that they placed items off of the entertainment center onto the chair and floor instead of just ransacking the place.

9:19 am

Where i lived before, i had been burgled twice in one year, not pleasant at all.

9:20 am

My house has never been terrorized by a burglar.

No zooz...it is a terrible feeling to know that a stranger has been in your house.

9:20 am

Strange thing for a thief to do, my place was trashed both times.

fireworks!!

I thought is was very strange...a respectful thief???

9:21 am

wonder why they did not yours..could not be for drug maony..as they would take anything they can lay thier hands on.

congrats jenny!

9:21 am

WTG Jenny!

9:22 am

whoo hoo jenny and bummer nonnie

9:22 am

Hello, Jmc :-)

9:22 am

actually believe it or not a lot of burlars just take the thing they want and don't trash the place

9:22 am

Hey jmc! Welcome to the grid

9:23 am

hi mark -- you be hanging out too muxh with min!

9:23 am

lol

9:23 am

Hi everyone!

9:23 am

Hello, Brookie :-)

They came in the back door and walked all the way from the back room where two computers sit, down the hall past a bedroom where another TV sits and through the dining room past the kitchen and into the livingroom at the front of the house. They had their eye on that TV only...it appears. Almost like they'd been there before, which is an awful thought because then it sounds like someone we know.

9:23 am

With min? She just happens to be babbling when I am.

9:23 am

Hi zooz!

9:24 am

and inspite of the press and cops claims a lot of burglars in hard eco times are just trying to give their families what everyone else has

9:24 am

hi brookie!

9:24 am

Hi jmc!

9:24 am

Welcome to the grid Brookie

9:24 am

can you see the tv from the street nonnie?

9:24 am

Glad to be here, Mark.

9:25 am

did not want to worry you, nonnie, but thats what i was thinking..unless at night they could see the tv on..and thought thats the one they want..nothing else..or could be stolen to order.

Yes, jmc...I guess they can.

9:26 am

that may be the case, Jmc, but they get no sympathy from me.

9:26 am

Just scrolled through the chog. Sorry you went through that, nonnie.

9:26 am

well then i wouldn't expect it to be a friend

9:26 am

no sympathy from me either zooz there are other options

9:27 am

agreed.

9:27 am

my husband was a criminal trial attorney and just because i understand what goes on doesn't mean i approve of burglary

Hiya, Brookie and thanks. It sure could have been a lot worse so I have much to be thankful for.

9:27 am

I must leave all babblers now because I have laundry. Again. Anyway, I may see you later today. Hasta la vista everybody!

9:27 am

for one it was good that they didn't do it when you were in the house!

bye bye mark

9:28 am

A similar thing happened to my parents about a year ago, so I can sympathize.

9:28 am

bye mark

9:28 am

Bye mark!

Yes, jmc...I would rather they take everything we own, just leave my family alone.

9:29 am

that is why it is a worse crime to burglar when some one is in the house

Where your parents out of the house, brookie?

9:29 am

Bye, Mark.

where = were

9:29 am

things could go down hill very quickly i am sure..what a horrible thought.

9:29 am

Yes, my parents were both out at the time.

9:30 am

thank goodness.

Thank goodness, brookie.

9:30 am

when i was burgled last november i was at home

9:30 am

Definitely.

9:30 am

That'

9:30 am

that was the first time being burgled creeped me out

9:30 am

That's awful, jmc

Oh no, jmc. Did they catch the person(s) who did it?

9:31 am

they took my purse and my laptop and my camera

9:31 am

they did nonnie and it is a funny story

9:31 am

oh sorry to hear that, Jmc..must of been terrifying.

9:31 am

Please do tell

9:32 am

i got my purse back when a client called to say someone had called her because they had found my purse in the alley with my clients papers in it

For goodness sake!

9:32 am

your joking..what are the chances of that happening.

9:32 am

actually i should say i came home exhausted that night and went to bed at midnight after dropping everything on the floor of my kitchen at the back of the house

9:33 am

but the doors were locked right?

9:33 am

I woke up at 3 am not knowing why (later realized it was because the back door slammed) and decided to do some work

9:33 am

apparently not well enough zooz

9:34 am

i could find my computer but decided that i was stressed (my mother was dying) and it was 3 o clock and i would find it inthe morning

9:34 am

in morning i looked and then called my boyu saying i am either crazy or i was burgled please come here and tell me which one

9:35 am

very distressing.

9:35 am

anyway later i was calling to cancel my credit card when the police called to say my wallet had been found

9:36 am

so i got that back and i knew they hadn't gotten any cash out of it because i had given all my cash to my boy

9:36 am

I am sure if you report credit cards stolen over here they are automaticaly cancelled.

9:37 am

the police said apparently they were driving down the alleys and two guys would try back doors, open the ones they could, and grab what was handy and then move on. the guy in the van would go through the stuff and toss the useless increminating stuff out the window

9:37 am

thus we found my purse and my waller--credit cards are not very useful and are very incrimnating

9:37 am

same here zozz

9:38 am

anyway several months later i got a call from the police at my office

9:38 am

i freaked out because i thought something had happened to my boy but instead it was a detective asking me if i knew some guy from baltimore

9:39 am

to wrap it up they had found my business card in a van of a guy they wanted for other things and because of that they were able to connect him with theseries of robberies

9:39 am

AND it turned out they had my lap top because it was too crummy to sell

9:40 am

unbelievable.

9:40 am

charming about the laptop..lol

9:40 am

so poor guy got only a cheap camera and a much bigger charge for having burgled me!

9:41 am

serves him right.

Wow...that is amazing, jmc. But the thought of them being in your home while you were there is too scary.

9:42 am

basically they were counting on the fact that thie neighborhood is the kind where when you wake up in the morning and see you forgot to lock your backdoor you laugh and go oops!

9:42 am

so they burgled dozens of homes

9:42 am

I now have sliding bolts on those doors

9:42 am

quite a story, jmc

9:43 am

Don`t blame you.

9:43 am

sorry lynxx says that i go on too long sometimes

9:43 am

i am afraid i am a bit of a story teller

9:43 am

not at all, it was good to hear your story.

Good moring! JMC just read your posts! OMG glad you are safe

9:44 am

good morning everyone;)

Yes, we had gotton too lax with locking our back door because we'd had 3 dogs and one was an excellent guard dog. Two of our furry friends have passed on and so Gracie goes everywhere with my husband so the backyard is easy access for anyone willing to take a chance.

9:44 am

12:39 pm

I'm good at fish and sea urchins!

12:40 pm

I've found the ar7. The comparative form of the ar4 before it.

12:40 pm

I'm trying to get husband to use his guidebook to identify them, giving him something to do since satellite has been out for 10 days and he's going crazy!

12:42 pm

12:53 pm

bye waver, you too

12:56 pm

Hiya, folks. Has anyone heard any information on Nancy Boy yet?

What is going on with him?

1:01 pm

Per chat yesterday - it was implied that something bad happend to him, but there was no elaboration. Many of us are very concerned.

1:01 pm

you don't get to know if you're not in the inner sanctum

1:02 pm

hello everyone

1:02 pm

Apparently not, Ata. Also - whatever happened to him happened over a week ago.

I didn't know there was an inner sanctum.

1:02 pm

oh yes, was a good few days ago now

1:03 pm

I thought I was in the inner sanctum. Imagine the blow to my ego.

1:03 pm

um I thought we were one big babble family ... so I don't get the "inner sanctum"

1:04 pm

speaking from the outer sanctum anyone have a clue for the second te 5/10?

1:04 pm

..and speaking from the outer sanctum...i think we need to vote on a new name :)

1:05 pm

my second one is a fish, really

1:05 pm

I don't care what sanctum anyone is in. He's a sweet kid and I would just like to know if he is okay.

1:05 pm

thanks, ata, definitely a fish

1:07 pm

well, unfrtunately it's apparently a secret

1:08 pm

gotta love the internet

1:08 pm

welki!!

1:08 pm

*hands on hips* I'm assuming he was either injured or arrested. I'd like to know if he needs help in any way.

1:09 pm

i was concerned, too ... apparently i'm not in the loop either

1:09 pm

that's odd considering nb himself is usually straightforward about his difficulties

1:09 pm

hi hi hi and bye bye bye ... just a quick peek in

1:10 pm

jumping in here - sticking my neck way out (from the outer sanctum) - as one who LOVES NB, I say let him have his privacy. If he wanted us to know, he'd know how to do it

1:10 pm

Hello, Welki.

1:10 pm

then how do we know?

1:10 pm

Wiki Leaks ?

1:11 pm

I'm all for maintaining privacy, JBV. I and many others would just like to know if he is okay. No details required.

1:11 pm

:)

1:11 pm

LOL, jbv, and fireworks

1:13 pm

how are YOU doing JBV??

1:14 pm

lol. Wiki Leaks. *smacks forehead* Of course!

1:16 pm

Hi wildcat - moving along, keeping busy, babbling.... :)

1:17 pm

good good (((hugs)))

1:17 pm

I have so many on-going projects that have been temporarily interrupted, so my goal is to get back to some semblance of a normal routine

1:17 pm

and then, of course, there are all the new unwanted projects that involve the tasks that have to be done

1:18 pm

but never too busy to Babble

1:18 pm

Hi everybody. ((JBV))) Lovely to see you.

1:18 pm

Priorities, JBV. Babble first. All other projects second.

1:18 pm

amen to that

1:19 pm

Anyone who doesn't agree with that Judi is probably not here :)

hello to the afternoon shift

1:19 pm

hi Soodle

1:19 pm

hi TO

1:19 pm

Hi TO

1:20 pm

I went to my Italian class last night, and back to my Weight Watchers meeting this morning

hi jbv, soodle,

1:21 pm

Hiya, TO.

where do you take italian, jbv?

hi judi

good day all.

1:21 pm

I found out there's a large Italian-American Association near where I live and they run classes on Friday night at a public school

1:21 pm

hi red

that is great. hi red.

1:22 pm

cost is minimal - I paid $75 for 20 classes

1:22 pm

Hey Red.

Hope everyone is having a nice day!

a bargain

1:22 pm

plus I discovered a new neighborhood which I did not know has several authentic Italian food places - groceries, restaurants, etc. -

that sounds like a lot of fun JBV.

1:24 pm

it is red, though I had to give up my Chinese lessons from last year - my brain could not handle both languages at once

1:24 pm

MMMM. Italian pastries.

1:24 pm

but Italian is in my heart and soul and I am finding this so beneficial to my mental well-being

1:25 pm

pastries, cheese, breads, you name it, Judi - it's here and it's fresh!

1:25 pm

*drooling*

well the Q's have been managed.

1:40 pm

hello. stats for the lone D bottom row 3rd column plz?

its a 5, 14... Hi lbd.

1:41 pm

DI 5/14,

1:41 pm

hi red!

1:41 pm

Hi Lbd.

hi soodle and lbd.

1:42 pm

hi soodle!

1:43 pm

fish slap me for missing that one!

my laundry has been hanging all day and is still not dry :(

yugh TO.

1:45 pm

I can't remember the last time I hung clothes out to dry..... Its either been raining or freezing here since September!

i so hate putting linens in the dryer

need new no wrinkle sheets

1:49 pm

Back to the rescue centre today... and came home with a new puppy. A collie cross-breed. She is the most adorable little munchkin you ever saw.... Only 9 weeks old, and going by the name of Daisy!

ooh soodle, sounds cute!

1:52 pm

Hello, Babble buddies!

1:52 pm

hi and bye, folks - I'm working on learning Photoshop, needs all my attention, see you later and good luck

1:52 pm

Lovely, Soodle. You must post a pic!

1:52 pm

back to say hi and bye to Scrabbler!

1:52 pm

Oooh, Soodle, how exciting!

1:52 pm

How are you feeling, Owl?

1:52 pm

Hiya, Scrabbs!

1:53 pm

Will do! Hello Scrabbs.... How are the bunnies?

1:53 pm

We just had a ten minute session of "straigtening the Christmas tree". All very technical and labor intensive.

1:53 pm

Doing well! Just 20 more nails to clip.

1:55 pm

Judi, that is always challenging, especially if the ceiling is getting scratched up.

1:56 pm

No where near that tall, Scrabbs. It's only about six footer. If it was up to my husband, the thing would be taller and wider than our whole living room.

1:57 pm

I always have to remind him of the proper scale when we go tree hunting.

1:58 pm

Good for you, Judi.

1:59 pm

It smells wonderful!

2:00 pm

And the funds went to our church youth group, so double the goodness.

2:02 pm

76 left. It is time to get some chores done. BBL

2:10 pm

2:11 pm

ar6 = like a bottom

2:12 pm

nm, I have the two ar 6's, it was the ar 7 I was looking

2:13 pm

ar7 is very very similar to the second ar6.18

2:14 pm

No not really. It looks like the words are harder to find

2:33 pm

Hello, Everybody. We are officially snowed in here today; but I have my 19 month old grandson and doubt that I will finish the grid because of him.

2:34 pm

oh hi Nef..he can help you

2:35 pm

hi Nef

2:36 pm

RRIIIGGGHHHTTT, Boobear! His idea of "helping" me is hitting the mouse repeatedly upside down (he's down for a nap now)

I have a refernce book for crossy, so if anyone sees him....

Hi Pav Nef and Lynxxx..

2:40 pm

hi red.

I am believing that the grid is now done for me with 49 left...where are they?

2:54 pm

red, I'm now at 41 left,,so there are more..

i'm down to 42. but its slim piking...

picking.

3:01 pm

picky picky

3:01 pm

34 here...to list or not?

3:02 pm

what with the icon theme. . . .

3:02 pm

jmc..I think it's supposed to be snowflakes...

3:02 pm

uh oh navy is blowing away army and my friend's dad coaches army :-(

3:03 pm

GO NAVY! I love the color blue...

3:04 pm

hey!

3:04 pm

well, it's true! and I don't do camo well...

3:04 pm

lol i wouldn't care at all but for my friend

3:05 pm

Afternoon all! Any bakers in the midst? Have a question...

3:05 pm

i can pretend what is the question?

3:06 pm

WE can pretend....if it's cheesecake related

3:06 pm

or cookies or pies or cakes...

3:06 pm

I'm working on a rolled cookie. Any tips on doing so without the dough breaking?

3:07 pm

keep some water to sprinkle on it

3:08 pm

ahh, works best rolled onto marble top, or a t least chilled, using flour also on the surface to keep from sticking. They say to let dough chill a bit before rolling

3:08 pm

wd pav

3:08 pm

and don't roll too thin...small batches work better than one massive roll...

3:09 pm

Ok will try those tips... gotta run!

3:09 pm

anything else jmc?

3:10 pm

no i think you said it all

3:10 pm

I haven't done rolled cookies in a while...too hot here

3:11 pm

down to 30 left

3:11 pm

i am actually a terrible baker

3:12 pm

when i made cup cakes for my boys preK the teachers had to order the kids to say thank you

3:13 pm

well unless the kids were being terribly rude and refusing to eat, or spitting the cakes out, perhaps they were reinforcing etiquette?

3:13 pm

it is so odd to watch them interview the head coach and know that i am good friends with his daughter and grandkids

3:13 pm

that's not too unusual jmc. They forget their manners easily

3:13 pm

the kids didn't finish the cupcakes lol

3:13 pm

they were gagging

3:13 pm

the cupcakes really did suck

3:15 pm

baking is not easy, nor should we take it for granted...even I have difficulties with my cheesecakes at times...I took a long break at one point, I was so disgusted with how they were turning out...

3:15 pm

my husband was a great baker used to make bagels with the kids for fun

3:16 pm

I've made bagels. They are fun to make

3:16 pm

the leaves are slowly falling from my lemon tree...I have/had 6 lemons this season!

3:18 pm

neat

3:19 pm

I've been waiting all year for them to turn so I could pick them and then repot the tree...it's been growing indoors in pots (3rd repotting) for about 5 years now...

3:19 pm

must be heavy to pick up

3:20 pm

I hope not!

3:21 pm

how can taser be not a word?!

3:21 pm

i thought it was a tazer

3:22 pm

i've seen both

3:22 pm

aHi cos!

3:22 pm

3:22 pm

Hi all!

3:22 pm

4:01 pm

What type of job, jmc?

4:01 pm

(inquiring minds want to know)

4:02 pm

4:02 pm

(hopes for # F)

4:02 pm

Head quacker?

4:02 pm

#F?

4:03 pm

# F outfit

4:03 pm

quack quack quack

4:03 pm

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

ooohhh it was G actually as I recall

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

yes ru?

4:05 pm

do you get free oatmeal then for life?

4:05 pm

lol nope different company

4:05 pm

lol nope different company

4:05 pm

(Totally lost on convo. F? G?)

4:05 pm

(Free oatmeal?)

4:05 pm

damn

4:06 pm

i ask babblers to vote on potential job interview outfits

4:06 pm

jm asked us all to commment on different outfits listed a-h for which one we chose for her upcoming interview

4:06 pm

the job interview was with a quaker organization

4:06 pm

I liked her in F.. professional and snappy

4:06 pm

Gotcha. Thanks.

4:06 pm

she looks good in black and white

4:07 pm

the G had the black and white blouse from the F but also had a black sweater on top

4:07 pm

you haven't seen my haircut i got the day before the jobinterview

4:08 pm

short page boy

4:08 pm

black and white are quaker colors

4:08 pm

JMC, isn't it great to have fashion consultants on babble?

4:08 pm

quaker grey ru

4:08 pm

lol

4:08 pm

no.. that's news to me

4:08 pm

absolutely brookie it was a big help to me

4:09 pm

have to run

4:09 pm

bye fore now

4:09 pm

bye ru

4:09 pm

See ya, ruru!

4:09 pm

Maybe every morning before I go to work, I should post pics of possible outfits. It might help my sales for the day.

4:10 pm

lol that is a thought

4:11 pm

oh look i got halfway and didn't notice

4:11 pm

I'm hopeless when it comes to fashion. I get compliments only on the things that other people pick out for me.

4:12 pm

Yay, jmc!

4:12 pm

you are so cute in the photo i am sure you are better at it than you think

4:13 pm

Everything from the next down is a disaster. :-)

4:13 pm

My sister, however, is a fashion queen. She's picked out awesome outfits for me.

4:13 pm

From the "neck" down...

4:13 pm

lol well maybe you can have her coordinate 10 outfits and just rotate them

4:14 pm

Great idea!

4:15 pm

i am full of ideas! just not so good on follow through

4:15 pm

Muses aren't expected to implement. It takes a team.

4:16 pm

lol

4:16 pm

Hi again. Hey Brookie... Good to see you :-)

4:16 pm

hi soodle

4:17 pm

Hi JMC :-)

4:17 pm

Hi soodle!

4:18 pm

JMC and I were talking about using fellow babblers as fashion consultants. Wanna another money-making opportunity?

4:18 pm

clue the ta 6,33 anyone?

4:18 pm

Don't have it yet, sorry!

4:19 pm

sorry rnp

4:19 pm

ok thanks

4:19 pm

Brookie... anything that swells the Soodle-Coffers is good with me!

4:19 pm

How is soodle doing today?

4:20 pm

RNP... that was my last one, and I had to resort to Morewords....TA, high ranking tile, and Pumkin *** ....

4:20 pm

ty soodle

4:21 pm

thanks soodle

4:21 pm

Brookie, Soodle is 100%. We got our new dog today... though, she is so small, dog is too big a word to describe her. She is only a D. I am trying to organise pics.....

4:22 pm

What kind of D?

4:22 pm

And when will she become a Do, and then a Dog?

4:23 pm

Oh, a pure-bred mongrel. A bit of a collie, a bit of a Jack Russell, and a bit of other undetermined species. She is gorgeous!

4:23 pm

Sounds intriguingly cute!

4:23 pm

I will let you know when she graduates to DO....... How are you doing, Brookie, in matters of the heart?

4:24 pm

I'm still getting over the trauma of last week. On eHarmony like crazy. A couple bites. It'll happen when it happens.

4:25 pm

I'm not ready to fall in love right now, anyway. I'm just up for dating.

4:25 pm

would it be too nosy for me to ask??

4:25 pm

Nothing's too nosy in babble!

4:25 pm

What would you like to know?

4:26 pm

what happened last week

4:26 pm

Theres an old saying round these here parts, Brookie.... Whats for you, won't pass you.....

4:26 pm

and actually if someone says i am to tired of telling a story or i would rather not i am totally cool with it

4:26 pm

Was dumped by the b.f. I totally wasn't expecting it. It turns out he was holding a lot in but didn't communicate it with me and give me a chance to work with him on it.

4:27 pm

too bad i wish men were encouraged to talk more

4:27 pm

I really thought we had a great relationship. That's what makes me so sad. I thought he was a keeper.

4:28 pm

Soodle, you got a new dog? Great. My bichon Bisky doesn't have much longer

4:28 pm

At the same time, I can't be with someone who is afraid to communicate with me. I really am approachable.

4:28 pm

there is a process about talking as a couple that used to be called acme

4:28 pm

Hi bichon!

4:28 pm

i am sure you are some guys just don't know where to start

4:28 pm

How does the process go?

4:28 pm

HI everyone

4:29 pm

bettermarriages.com

4:29 pm

Hey Bichon. What can I say.. Just enjoy every day with Bisky.

4:30 pm

Just glanced at the website. Looks awesome. Will bookmark it.

4:30 pm

the idea is that relationships take work even when things are going well so they have retreat weekends for couples and small groups which meet monthly and do exercises to help build communicatin

4:30 pm

I'm in CA visiting the grandkids and I spoke to my daughter who is caring for him while I'm gone.

4:31 pm

A lot of the problems that were building could have been avoided.

4:31 pm

i did it with my hubby and it was really helpful especially during the hard times when he went deaf and communication became a bitch

4:31 pm

Hope you're having fun in CA, bichon!

4:32 pm

Wow, I can see how that would be a challenge, jmc.

4:32 pm

I always have fun in the Bay Area andthe weather is mild.

4:32 pm

Oh.. You in San Fransisco, Bichon?

4:33 pm

Down the Peninsula a bit, San Mateo. I come out her 4-5 times a year

4:33 pm

Gotta go now. Have a great rest of the day, everyone!

4:33 pm

Can anybody tell me if my icon has changed?

4:33 pm

yeah we could talk in the dark in our beds or when we were driving because we had to face each other in the light so he could read my lips

4:33 pm

no Soodle, I see socks

4:33 pm

cuuuuuuttttte puppy

4:34 pm

bye brookie

4:34 pm

bye jmc!

4:34 pm

Yaaaaay... Babblers.... Meet Daisy!!!

4:34 pm

clue for ar 6,18 anyone?

4:34 pm

((((Brookie)))) take care. Talk soon.

4:34 pm

How cuuute!

4:35 pm

Bye soodle! Thanks for posting the pic!

4:35 pm

(meant could not talk all those times)

4:35 pm

What are the doggie's partiulars?

4:35 pm

RNP... more ar 4/4.......

4:37 pm

Glad you asked for particulars rather than pedigree, Bichon! She is 9 weeks old, the runt of a litter of 12, and a cross between a terrier and collie. And cuter than anything.

4:37 pm

thanks soodle

4:38 pm

4:39 pm

11:28 pm

I had bridge here this afternoon and no time all day for babbling.

11:29 pm

No obligations today...dau stopped by tho...needed to give SIL his Xmas present early...

11:29 pm

...he had mentioned that before going out to play in the snow tomorrow he needed to go to the store to get a new pair of bibbed snowpants...

11:29 pm

my shopping plans etc were disrupted this week so I'm now in a bit of a panic

11:29 pm

:o( I miss playing bridge.

11:29 pm

...guess what his present was...

11:30 pm

hi dfm

11:30 pm

I'm going to my bro's xmas concert tomorrow afternoon...can't wait

11:30 pm

hi pini, jilli! :o)

11:30 pm

hi dfm -- do tell, pini -- so hard to think of good presents for guys

11:31 pm

what kind of a concert, pini?

11:31 pm

I had already gotten him a pair of the snowpants...so I gave it to him when they were on their way home tonight ;)

11:31 pm

My little bro is in a trio of guys who've been singing together for almost 20 years now...

11:32 pm

wow, pini -- what kind of music? I have PBS on now, with fold music like Judy Collins and Pete Seeger

11:32 pm

...they have 6 CDs out now and, amazingly enough, it's their combined HOBBY!

11:33 pm

*folk, not fold music

11:33 pm

They sing Christian music...more contemporary, but some of the old stuff, too, and songs they've written.

11:33 pm

I'll send you the link to their sight, jilli, and you can listen to snippets :)

11:34 pm

<-- love folk music!

11:34 pm

Oh good -- ty!

11:34 pm

one moment, please! :)

11:37 pm

I'll include links to some of the songs he's featured in (he has an incredible tenor voice)

11:38 pm

Meanwhile I'll look for the next icon theme -- Christmas ornaments

11:42 pm

Well, shoot...I didn't finish putting the links in and it sent :(

11:42 pm

11:45 pm

hi pav! :o)

11:46 pm

whats the icon theme?

11:46 pm

xmas ornaments

11:46 pm

Christmas ornaments, as Miss Jilli just mentioned

11:46 pm

ah...thank you

11:50 pm

I have some sad news....my 25 yr old nephew, who I named my sole beneficiary last year, has decided he no longer wishes to try to stay amongst us, and this morning my sis called to say af5 collapsing at home late last night, earlier this morning they found him in bed and he had attempted to slit himself..he was rushed into the ER and I've not heard from them since this morning...he suffers from depression and bi-polar, but I've wondered all along if it isn't something else...

11:50 pm

hi all.

11:50 pm

any super clues out here?

11:51 pm

oh my, pav...so sorry to hear...

11:51 pm

I hope you hear soon and that he's getting the help he needs.

11:51 pm

pav, i am so so sad to hear this news. how difficult this is. i pray he can get help and look forward to life.

11:52 pm

I'll call them tomorrow af5noon; as you may know, most health insur plans won't accept 25 yr olds unless their in school, and he had dropped out years ago....

11:54 pm

* sigh *

11:54 pm

:o( hope he's alright (both physically and mentally), pav...

11:54 pm

he stopped taking his meds in the spring, and has been methodically lying to everyone about taking them. AT EOM Oct, he did the same thing, and just before Thanksgiving he and his gf drove to Albuq to visit my mother -his grandmother- and then returned to MN

11:57 pm

* my thoughts and prayers are with him and your family through this tough time *

11:57 pm

PAV the new health care law states anyone 26 or under cannot be refused if they still live with their parents. Hopefully that helps. I will put in a prayer.
