I maaged no catheter - ot even i the OR - I so lucked out
rghoapteqw0hiq]t (morphine talk?)

on second thought... def babble while on drugs
AS 6/21
hmmmm, what else? oh, yeah...the horse needle....us nurses keep that for the stroppy patients*grin*
I must say, I had really good nurses
(passes out at the sight of a needle)
especially the night nurse... she was very nice
I'd want to see ruru Babble on morphine.
It'ld mean puns that are *actually* funny. And/or punny, for that matter.
oh good, ruru, saves on the anaesthetic
be nice to the nurses... they can def make it or break it for you
he would be babbling lol
hahaha dmf

good morning. Just a quick update. I'm on my way to the hospital where husband is being treated for pneumonia with oxygen and antibiotics by IV. He is lucky that he didn't break any bones when he fell, but looks like he was at the losing end of a prize fight.
*poof*
oh Ruby!!!!
{{lynxxx}} I couldn't resist putting in a couple of words
(hugs) Ruby - will be thinking of you both
is am relieved that he is in hospital as I really couldn't care for him here. When he fell, I couldn't do more than comfort him, call emergency, sop up blod and keep him warm. I couldn't even get him in a sitting position!
thanks lynxxx
good luck Ruby - hope all goes well
You poor love - must have been a nightmare! I hope he can get over all this quickly and they don't send him home too soon
thank you for your good wishes. You can't imagine how comforting this site is for me, with all you dear people!!!!
I can actually...anyway off you go and remember to take a good book with you
Good morning people

Fireworks
*wanders into the chog, pours a cup of coffee*
*Hands Welki a toasted, buttered croissant*
'morning, molly
Hi everyone!
Morning Brooke
Lots of good letters in the grid, but not enough vowels, apparently! Morning Molly!
Five measly vowels
Luckily I have lots of other stuff to do today, so perhaps a small grid is good (for me at least, maybe not for other babblers).
The plan was "get up, work on the grid, fix breakfast". Now the plan is "finish the grid and go back to bed."
Breakfast at some point, though, right? Anything for hungry fellow babblers? My Zone bar isn't doing the trick, but I'm too lazy to actually make something.
early day for me .. up at 4 to have coffee and send other half on his way on biz trip. was hoping for a HUGE grid today (cold and snowy, no need to leave the house) .. and here i am with two left at 5:06
Looks like you'll be giving clues for the rest of the day, welki!
:)
It would be cool if Babble offered "easy, moderate, and advanced". As in, three grids to choose from.
That will be the new version of Babble... Mabble (Molly + Babble).
or if we could have access to prior grids .. play them, no need to enter stats (unless option to do so on grids we've never played before)
i know they're online, but you can
type the words in, you'd have to word list on paper
Well, my two year old just woke up, so time to attend to his agenda.
enjoy the day, brookie .. hugs for the babe (they're wonderful at two-and-just-woken-up)
Have a great day, Molly and welki, and let me know what else you come up with to modify Babble!
(poof)
Good morning. Peabody told me about this game and i like it. I need to stretch my brain.
welcome coop
Thanks. I have to go. Everyone have fun!
good morning dear babble friends. clue for top e in left row, please?
good morning trif - en5 = go in ---- add a vowel for en6
oh, MAN! Fish for brekky for me! Many thanks, montreal, and how nice to see you! It's been a while
nbt, btw
nice to see you as well - how's life ?
Morning Trif. Easy peasy one today. How are you?
quiet enough at the moment, which is a lovely respite. QUITE a lot of snow around here, and everyone is getting weary of it. hows you?
good morning molly.
Seconding that "weary of snow". I know y'all have more of it that we do.
a church near us had a BRILLIANT sign out in front -- "whoever is praying for snow, please STOP"....oh, it made me larf!
allwhite here - been snowing everyday for the entire month... but nothing MAJOR - gm Molly
every day, montreal? dear me!!!
LOL great sign! Hi Trif, Molly, montreal et al.
great sign trif - good morning sprite !
in other news, my brother and his gf are moving to philadelphia, so I got their living room set. It's nice to go from not enough furniture to rather a lot of furnitue. still playing with the different configurations and all
Hi
hiya lady
HERIN!!! hello me love!
gm lady
:) Interior decorating is fun
thanks sprite. the idea is to only use things I already own, so the challenge is on!
I finished making my skirt
what is it for, herin? A special occasion, or just something new and fun?
Friday night Burlesque event.
but a fun challenge! Everything will look so different afterwards that you will feel like all is new!
wtg lady :)
that's what I am hoping, sprite. wish you were here to help. could really use a second opinion....
It was a dress but it was too small as a dress. Fits perfectly as a skirt.
burlesque ?
woo hooooooo Herin!
Always nice to have new furniture. Or "not quite new". And I love a church with a sense of humor.
would love to. I really would.
Agreed, molly. I think God definitely has a sense of humor. example? the platypus.
Yes Burlesque
I always claim that love is the biggest force in the universe, with humour a very close second.
<------- wants to get on Herin's invite lists.....
in a non-church vein, my big phantom today is "asshat"
71 w/ 1st pass - have to go - have a great day all and take care - "POOF" - "velly interestink" lady...
Trif, there are some cool web sites that address decorating with what you already have. Herin, good luck with the burlesque show.
bye dear monty
bye montreal
bbl, my love needs me
I am not performing
You have to find a place
hi all, help with a in right column pls
Trifs
http://www.bostonbabydolls.net/intro.c fm
maybe you are just not *scheduled* to perform, herin. I am betting that once they see your fabulous, a space will suddenly appear, just for you
Not likely. NO one on this planet needs to see that much flesh
Herin!!!! wow!
LOLling at the idea of me dancing with the Boston baby dolls....
Trifs you can see them
hmm, maybe. I am saving my money for American idiot, at the moment

Peri, did you get that a?
shakespeare - "ambition should be made of st7 stuff"

hi Mom
hi Mom

hello (((Herin)))) and (((Sprite))))

clue for the bottom row S ?
Mom, did you happen to send me an e-mail card in the last day or two?
thanks for the st word
no Peri, I did not. Did you get one from me?
backs of boats
Oh poor Mrs. 2Bit. My oldest is 31 and I still wake up at least once a night.
oh duh hursh thanks
st*** mamma look but then plural
I got a message that Mom had sent me an e-card. looked like it was marked spam and I did not open it
I need to get ready for church in a minute, but thank you all for a lovely sunday morning chog. nbs, nbt, all is well. :)
Pray for us sinners Trif. : P
bye Triffles :) *hugs* and say hi to the fun church from me.
Wow, Peri, I am so sorry that happened. Now I am wondering how it happened. I am glad you didn't open it
firm or strict would have helped me with the st7 but thank you
well my Mom is deceased and the only other one I know is you :)
I will definitely tell God you all say Hi. My pastor babbles, so you know she is cool!
she definitely rocks!
I say hi to God every morning Trif, but add an extra one from me.
almost everyone who babbles rocks
very true
name that proper noun! actor ed from the mary tyler moore show
Asner
ding ding ding!
Asner
darn, slow connection
name that proper noun: the name of the tomboy in the original True Grit
you can still enjoy the dings.
I would like to thank Sprite for having a slow internet connection
can't answer Peri's never saw True Grit
don't know True Grit, sorry
me neither - would have to cheat and google it.
made in 1969. the answer is Kim Darby, no dings
name that proper noun! often dark poet sylvia
Plath
Hi hurshy
ding ding ding!
hi
won't even try, lol, cannot beat the speed
Am I missing something? Where is Darby in the grid?
not in the grid. just the answer to my trivia quesstion
nah hursh is doing the grid related ones. Peri's was just a trivia question :)
answers to "name that proper noun!" as originally invented are always found in the grid.
oh, did not know that hursh
Okay, that's what I thought.
all the games i invent here are auxiliary to the main game :)
firewords! tx sprite & hursh & all cluers
wtg dan2bit!
stuck with 17 left
your daughter is cute, dan
23 left but not stuck yet. This grid looks tighter than it actually is.'
i finished with no list, no clues, no help of any kind. so i would definitely say it's a doable grid.
congrats Dan2bit
congrats Hurshy
wtg hursh! And that may be true, but you are not an average player ;)
Name that proper noun...Star of "Our Miss Brooks".
but if it is that doable for me, then it should be doable with lists and clues for anybody, right?
Arden
Arden
Ding!
darn. LOL
Eve, to be precise
no list down to 13 left
there can be multiple winners
you all enjoy the dings together
going strong periwinkle
It was a tie. You each get a box of chocolates.
yayyyyyy love chocolates!
I feel my butt getting bigger just thinking about the chocolates
lol
I am past that point. No way my butt can get any bigger.
Remember on The Mary Tyler Moore show when Rhoda looked at a piece of chocolate and said "Why am I eating this? I should just apply it directly to my hips." : P
LOL
lol
Sprite, LOVE your icon.
thanks :)
I like you icon, Mom, my sentiments exactly
yes, i actually have seen that episode!
11
babblers - you may enjoy a game called "word bubbles" which you can find on lumosity.com as well as on the NY Times website's games section.
thank you, peri
Hurshy, I have played that
right and left columns gray and 9 left
would hate to go to the list with 9 left
thanks hursh! Always in for a new word game. Do you all know 8 letters in search of a word?
http://www.eastoftheweb.com/games/Eigh t1.html
just don't, periwinkle. Keep faith in yourself.
love it, sprite!!
I am trying, sprite
hi Une, me too! :)
i am a big fan of word bubbles except i wish they would give you a SMIDGE more time. i can't type fast enough to get all the bubbles to the highest level even when i am still chock full of words in my head.
Bad Sprite, bad, bad bad
((Une)) good morning
*grins* Sorry for sharing the temptation... oh no, I am not.
hey, mom :-)
Sprite, you know that misery loves company
no way a T can start from that tile. But it does.
ah, got it
in holland we say: shared joy is double joy, Mom. And shared misery is half misery.
excellent saying Sprite. I'll remember that
Done and night/day all
wtg and bye for now, lady. *hugs*
good night Herin, pleasant dreams

hi fuby
Oy, not James, Harold. James had the giant peach.
ruby* even
hi rubyfoo, is hubby a bit better?
((Ruby)) hello. How is Mr. Ruby?
( fighter jets are now buzzing tahrir square )
Why did Scrabs ask you to change your icon Carlee?
have that too, ty sprite
my last T was the one you cry.
so everyone could purple out groups of words in that particularly nasty grid the other day molls ( you got half way and lost steam)
yesterday's, carlee? That was one of the best ever!
and now mine too, sprite, just missing an s 4
i purple out the re's every day
I am feeling so stoopid, missing common 4 letterr words
wtg periwinkle! You have the heavenly light?
the jets are getting lower and lower
just back from the hospital. he is out of danger, in a regular (not emergency) room but will have to stay a couple of days. He ate lunch, one of the very good things about a Fr hospital. Offsets the fact that everybody is coughing and no one washes his hands
oh Peri, the 4's are sometimes the hardest
done, was missing a word I was sure I typed in earlier
in grids like these, the 4s are often tough to spot.
oh Ruby. I didn't realize he was hospitalized
am glad he is out of the woods, rubyfoo.
fireworks. ty you all, espec, spritey!!
purple? I thought they were gray
i hope everything is ok ruby ( I guess i missed something )

hi judi
morning all ... I am SO sore. Helped daughter move (again)yesterday
hi wild...
my dau's moving this weekend, too...
hopefully closer to you. mine ended up a little farther away
although she's an hour away, she moving about 3 blocks...so probably a bit easier...
...where'd your dau move to? how far away?
she was 45 min away and she moved 20 miles further south
so, we're about in the same boat...
...they're just not close enough!
yup
My eldest dau is even further away...in Texas
it's a lot better than it could be. I'm getting ready to suck it up and spend a lot on gas
<-- Oregon
I could visit her for you
where in TX?
She's in a little town on the gulf coast...
Freeport
ah still a drive for me. I'm in Austin
Well, Texas is a bit big...
just a little. when we used to take driving trips as a family my kids would always complain that we were still in Texas. it felt like we never got anywhere
I lived in El Paso when I was little...it also felt like we never went anywhere unless we crossed the border into Mexico!
Lurking fireworks....Happy babbling, all.....

no monkey that's as 6/18
it's confusing because there are two as6s with different birds in them!
Ah, two different birds. I have the one that is the back of the boat.
stid, try fireplace residue + my initials + pirate letter
haha Leslie ann!
TY leslieann. That bird made the difference and I have fire works and time to fix lunch. HOOray for BaBBLERs who helped.

what is the point total, please?
538 points
nvm. fireworks!
need one more of the r5 got 3 kinds of what you pay every month and a word that looks just like it
whats the last one?
kangy there are only two r5. there's an r6, the person who is in the apartment?
the pay ones are re4/4, re5/10, re6/18, re5/10
There is an re4 that is like the large rodent but with a different vowel
theres 4 of them? i have the er and the s and the regular
sorry i dont know how to use this lingo :(
WTG, LeslieAnn!
There is an re5 with a vowel at the end
rente
ohhh you are talking about the first row R - i thought you meant an R word that had five letters in it
oh sorry
You will get used to it Kangy. It is a little tricky to talk about a word without actually mentioning the word

the general gist, kangy, is to list a word like pl 4/5 - means a word that starts with pl, is four letters long and worth five points.
Kangy, have you been introduced to the penalty box, where we send people who type grid words in the chog? I have stocked it this afternoon with fresh, hot brownies.
how are you able to tell how many letters and points their worth?
i may have to type some words into the chat log then
ya sorry, typed in the wrong box?
We all do it from time to time Kangy.
happens to all of us
the "help" icon above the chat log here explains - but basically a four-letter word is just the points on the board, a five-letter word is x2, six-letter word is x3 etc.
also, under the grid, the "lickety's babble clues" link will give you a list of all the words' first and second letters
oh wow
Ok i need to go..take care, All .( * . .* . ) . . . POOF .* . '* . ( .) ' ` ( . *
By zooz
Lickety also gives the total point value.

I found another Enable anomaly: why can we have la4/4 but not abdos?
and gr4/6 is not in the dictionary. Have we got a Babblers word for such words?
scouse, we're pleased to call them Babblets... and there are plenty more where that came from!
ty msideb01
msideb01 - which tropical low was that one in your icon?
that was Hurricane Earl when it was a Cat 5, I think three days or so before (almost) landfall in North Carolina
Nasty
Yeah, I know. Dodged a bullet with that storm... scored some mean hurricane surf waves though, haha
I studied Oceanography with the Open University. It only takes one degree higher sea surface temp to cause a lot more hurricanes esp. in N. Hemisphere
Ah - and now we have La Nina too! does that make better waves on west coast?
It's really fascinating stuff... as a surfer, meteorology and oceanography are like my number one hobby. With last year's El Nino, the Atlantic tropics were something like 1.5 degrees higher than average
in a way we benefit from El Nino in UK cos the Gulf Stream keeps going. I worry about it ceasing, especially in winter.
True, if the thermohaline cycle with the Gulf Stream stops, we're all up shit creek
for us in the Northeast US, though, La Nina has either caused storms to shoot across New England fast and up north or they've rapidly intensified, dumped a lot of snow, and disappeared quickly
neither situation provides much time for sustained fetch in the Atlantic to generate waves, sadly... haha
Well, we will all be like Norway. My friends just went to Spitsbergen and the Arctic Ocean was like a millpond dead calm - weird. If that stops being cold what happens to the food chain?
I remember some feisty calculations regarding fetch reach and wave-height and energy levels.
Well even a degree or two rise in average ocean temp would be disastrous for the marine environment
ENSO cycles like El Nino and whatnot are fine because they average out eventually, but if the average increases, bad things start happening
All depends on how rapid the changes are: short-lived creatures can adapt quickly. ............. we have written all this and not one word from the grid! I shall have to go soon. Thanks for chat.
Bye all
haha, of course... tata
i cant find the st 5/10

Hi all - in yet another airport (PHL) on my way back to O'Hare. Looks like no delays tonight, hooray!!
hi sue...'still' traveling?
about 1/2 hour to boarding; think I can find the last 17 words in that time?
perhaps
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Yeah, I flew to NJ to see my dad, who broke his leg a couple of weeks ago and is now in rehab (he's 89). He looks good, and is in good spirits (meaning grumpy and outspoken as usual). It was good to see him.
I am well Pinikula. I'm saving my last word for later on
sounds like you both enjoyed the visit, sue
We did, as did my stepmother.
:)
but I can't seem to find the en6,18
add a vowel to en5 (not the exit)
thx
brb

hmmm... I'm missing two S words from the top S
nope - fireworks!!!!!! And we don't board for another 15 min - now what shall I do??? :-)

Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
hi min
ok,8 left... howdy jmc:)
did you ever start to fold at home
hi cross
jmc, I did fold at home briefly
good for you uu. why did you stop?
my mrs is 5th on the fah list:)
alrighty, anyone need clues? before I head out?
no good reason, I think I had to reinstall Windows (something I seem to have to do every year or two) and just never started up again.
I did seti at home for a little while too
please consider reinstalling to the babble team (see crossy's profile for the number)
i also did seti but decided i want a cancer cure first
what is seti at home?
I"ll take a look at it, thx
all the info is still in my profile
seti is pinging signals inbto space
into
oh that is not so interesting to me
seti at home was the original "at home" crowdsourced data analysis - looking at data from the Arecibo radio telescope for evidence of artificial signals
looking for ET lol
exactly
ince we cure cancer,ill look for et again
once'
never sent any signals out, though, except when the telescope first turned on.
i got 2 signals out,but no reply:)
I agree; when I did seti at home the other "at home' options didn't exist yet
*puts on foil cap*
i bet in 50 years someone out there will call me...collect
makes sense uu
boarding starting, see you all tomorrow
bye uu have a safe trip

this is the second philly in any case
but this one has a lot more travel including being in switzerland may 1

May I please have a clue for st512? Thanks, it's my last one.
st5.12 a secret store of something
and here, it's a balmy -24, lynxx
jeez - there's a minus in front of that!
whoo hooo lynxxx
Thanks so much, lynxxx.
Congratulations lynxxx on your fireworks! Good for U
Congrats too, lynxxx!!!!
yw Peach - and Congrats!!
Thanks, lynxxx.
Hey there, jmcnrick
hi peach
lynxx, we have things called 'block heaters' installed in our vehicles .. we plug them in to keep the oil in our engines from getting too thick (helps warm up the car)
That is a great idea, welki.
they're standard equipment in vehicles up here
It must cost a LOT extra just to survive in snow conditions - expenses we woudn't even dream of
i suppose that it's a wash, lynxx ... costs a ton to cool down a house, too .. and car air conditioning cuts down on gas mileage
but you save a fortune in air conditioning
hehehe .. but you probably save on clothing :)
i can't handle the heat anymore and use a/c when the temps get warm
jmc told me that if i ever visit with her, i can sleep in the room with the air conditioner :)
:-) no a/c in my room
No a/c here, we just have a few fans. Happily this is only our 3rd hot day this Summer - and there is usually only a half dozen really hot ones
will be in new jersey in may and have told the kids that we're staying in a hotel for that reason
there are only 5 nights that i find hot most years and i know how to cope since i was raised in Texas prior to A/c
i have ceiling fans
which five?
lol
lol they vary but mostly in early july contrary to what people think
i guess that, if i hadn't moved north, i'd handle the heat better. survived until i moved here during hot nyc summers
who am i kidding. i hated the heat then, too *lol*
well, here i am solo for the next few days, guess i'd better scrounge up something for supper before it gets too late. bye for now
why the move to Canada? just the lure of the fishing?
skip supper and get skinny
i'd have to skip more than supper
the lure of a canadian man, lynxxx :)
:-) got to start somewhere
or .. the allure :)
wow - blushing here, lol
blushing??
Canadians DO see very nice - very similar in attitude to Australians actually - same sense of humour
the thought of Weki casting all aside and rushing off after her Canadian man
lol
finished jmc?
no the en6 has me baffled
it has to have the same first letters. . .
add vwl to the go in word
*smack*
ty lynxxx
(i like the 'casting aside' analogy :)
yw - Congrats!
wtg jm!
hadn't even twigged to that Welki
anyway, off to read, eat, fall asleep in my chair .. g'night!

Anyway best go find somethng to do - Bye to you all

sn4 means to lop or to cut.
yeah i got it. it is stupid i missed it until the list.
I kid you not that remembering the meanings of words really helps you to remember them.
I tend to miss 'aunt' and 'niece' for some reason. Maybe because I am not and aunt, never will be and so don't have a niece! LOL
lol
Another word, which I should know, but I almost always miss is 'unlna'.
*ulna, I meant.
Any more clues needed?

Hello Crossy.
howdy jacula
Sorry if I upset you the other night re troops. I truly didn't intend to.xx
woo hoo fireworks!
May I offer bacon as a peace pipe?
Well done, Good! What are the stats for your last word found?
you may indeed,cause i do not recall our disagreement anyways:) good thing about a terrible memory is that i cannot hold a gridge
grudge;)
Or a grudge, Crossy. Love ya! (Hugs)
((jacula))
life is too short to stay pissy;)
thanks for the support jac! en6 was my last
Crossy - the word 'gridge' does actually exist in the Urban Dictionary (aka how people speak when anyone born before 1989 have no idea what they are talking about) - it means 'A sarcastic expression with the same meaning as "thanks for nothing". Usually preceded by a dramatic sigh or pause.'
very cool
Good - thanks for telling me. My last word was a silly seabird plural, te5/10. *blushes*
7 little words....

*slips crossy a bacon sandwich to set his brain right again.*
mmmm,did i ever tell you that you are my favorite jacula?
I think you did, last time I cooked bacon for you, but you can praise me again.:-)
:)
cyber bacon doesn't count on your low cholestrol diet.
nope,i can eat all i like;))
Did I spell that silly ch word right?
2 e,s 2 t,s 2 r,s and a p;(
Now I really fancy some bacon for breakfast later, so I have to either turf the cat out of his bed atop the chest freezer to find some or leave a note for Beloved to get me some from the shop before he goes to work,
well,you must get in the freezer before pussy is 14 do you not?
en6 = to go in (en5/10) + a vowel at the end.
got it
et4.4 = 'phone home alien' + I am blushing ** we speak.

Or, it is an anagram of sa4.
one e to go
Before the pussy is 14?
2 t,s
the cat
you seem lothe to move the kitty to get the rashers of bacon
Yes, but why before he's 14?
Yes, but why before he's 14?
no reason,just a number i picked at random
I'm loath to move him because he will either bite or scratch me or just yowl for food from now, 3.36am until I get up in about 6 hours' time.
missing a single r
lol
ra4/5 - entranced by a vision, maybe.
our cats do not scratch us,if they do they get an "attitude' adjustment

crossy - have you tried all that sit pretty malarkey on a feral stray?
we do not ferals
why bring barn cats into the hosue?
we have a program here to fix all the ferals so they do not breed out of control,three vets offer their services
it is POURING outside
been long and long since i have seen aught but snow...:/
Ah, well we do. We don't ask for them. but they find us. Wjy bring them in? Well, the first, our old black cat, Kira, was dying of the cold. She was a neutered female but had been abandoned by a nearby family when they flitted from their flat without paying the back rent.
sorry Crossy - we have 25 mph winds but no snow
The cat we've got now is a neutered male,who was probably thrown out of a moving vehicle, along with his mother, onto a busy dual carriageway and only he made it alive.
we have been trying for the last 15 years to eliminate the local feral population,by fixing them,adoption to the ones in the cat house and other methods.we have a no kill policy in place but it is hard.there are 450 cats waiting for homes
our 2 cats are rescue kittys
Kira tried to make her own way by living in a neighbour's car, having crawled through the small gap left by him removing a back headlamp. And she was doing well for months.
:(
Our male cat, who we have now, was living wild whilst guarding his mother's rotting body, until my daughter brought him home.

Even the PDSA have asked me to be a foster mother!
a bird with a sunburn,or a fish with a loose scale..she will find it
Crossy - no, I don't find them, they find ME! With one exception, when a white rabbit was seen in the woods and fields nearby and my daughter and I had to go and find it before the foxes got it. Knwing rabbits as well as we do, we tracked it and found it, and caught it before total darkness fell. I still don't know how we did that, given the area we had to cover, but we did!

no, not for me, bogs. Thanks for the offer though
en6/18...saw the clue, monkeyed every combo I can think of...

*CLEARS THROAT FOR MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT*
hi stid
yes, stid?
*drumroll* my boys are BOTH going to the State Speech finals in March!!!!!!! *double backflip*
they both qualified at yesterday's meet! *cartwheels*
en + ***R* cotta
WOO, HOO for the stid kids!!!! YAY!!!
yay stidboys!
AND.... it was the younger stidkid's very first attempt at his event!
congrats
thx nef...
(great clue, bogs. I couldn't think of anything like that!)
:-D *extremely over-chuffed proud mama look*
Aww, stid! You & Mr. stid must be busting your buttons with pride! :-)
pretty much, Nef. COMPLETELY unexpected, actually!
I am so very pleased for them.
They both had some rather disappointing news in other areas of their lives today, so it was nice to finish the weekend with something lovely.
I will be taking that day "off" student teaching... if at all possible.
I am too! It's really something that they both will go this year; that doen't happen often that siblings get to go to state for speech, does it?
hi everyone!
very true -- they are several grades apart, and qualified in different events (which is really nice -- they won't compete against each other)
disappointing news, stid? I'm sorry to hear that.
Hello, and stidkids -- CONGRATULATIONS! But with a mother like yours I'm not surprised at your successes.
hey Luwanda! scroll down for our exciting news... LOL
I just saw it
Congratulations
Hello Luwanda and everyone else.
hi Luwanda and jilli
:-D
I've got news. grandchild #5 is on the way!!!!!!
woo-hoo!!!! that "almost" trumps my news... rofl
congrats to you too, Luwanda! :-)
perspective :)
I had a lovely weekend with my visiting son, who, for the first time in his 62 years, sat down and played his guitar for me, singing old blues, folk songs, and Bob Dylan poems better than Dylan himself.
true enough ((Luwanda)) grandchildren are so far away from where I sit (I hope)...
oh, that is marvelous, Jill!!!!
*doubletake* when did he get that old?
I was beyond wonderful.
touched my heartstrings jilli
No no , not I -- IT was wonderful, lol!
the first time ever? WOW! But I'm glad he did that today!
touched mine too, luwanda
He was too shy before.
We gave him a guitar and lessons for his birthday when he was about 11.
Jill, what a gift he gave to both of you. I am just bursting with joy for you!
did you ever hear him sit down and play when he wasn't aware of it?
I'm going to bed with a smile in my heart.
Thanks for understanding
good night all
No, Nef.
sweet dreams Luwanda! thanks for sharing your most excellent news!
niters, Luwanda.
jilli; that would definitely make this day that much sweeter to you; but it's also so sad that he'd never shared that with you before.....
Now he says he'll do it again, next visit. I gave him a book I've had for years -- the Fireside Book of Folk Songs -- and he had a great time with it, transposing from piano music to guitar.
Oh Luwanda, I didn't mean to put your great news in the shade! It's so exciting!
that is an excellent book, Jill! and so glad you will get a repeat.
so he even has some good knowledge of music, jilli? How wonderful!
Well, dear old Google helped find the key with three flats...
he is a most amazing man, Nef - so much talent. I have seen the book of photographs he published. Some of them made me want to cry, they were so beautiful.
oh! down to 10!
gogogo stid!
would someone help me get NBT by clueing the S on the bottom row please?
rear ends, stid ;-)

Clues available here if needed but for once in my babble life I didn't need any!

oh Napa huh? cool
hi stid
the help page right above chat here is helpful; but I also tell newbies to check under the Tile Stats grid for the "friends of Babble" sites. Try using "AngelSong's Babble Page" there for LOTS of help. And when people talk about using a list; they usually mean "Lickety's Babble Clues" there
yeah. I have 57 of them
st 7 is more of howard st
thanks Nef... a friend gave me the clues page, not sure how to use that yet though. hahah.
hey ruru!! ((hugs))
