1:09 am

tommie, please don't post words in the chat

1:09 am

hi and wtg josh

1:09 am

try h + being mad

1:10 am

that sounds dumb, used to put clues, not just the answer, and if you dont want to know then you didnt see it poppin on the page,

1:10 am

I'm not sure what you mean

1:11 am

like if the word was apple...an someone couldnt get it, then I could give the clue saying ap5 is what keeps the doctor away

1:11 am

that works

1:12 am

yes, but yopu don't just put apple in the chat

1:12 am

or ap 5 the fruit

1:12 am

thanx but i got that ha6

just don't say the whole word is all, tommie

1:12 am

ya no cuz then everyone can see it even if they dont want to

1:12 am

i never did

1:12 am

yep

1:12 am

you just put 3 ha words in the chat

1:13 am

oh haha

1:13 am

my bad

1:13 am

lol

ruru wouldn't have mentioned it if you didn't

1:13 am

well those were easy words anyway

1:13 am

ok babble gang

1:13 am

you got it now

1:14 am

seriously though the one ha4 and ha6 i cant get isnt even in the word finder

1:14 am

try morewords if you must at this point

1:14 am

oh just the ha4 got the 6

1:21 am

okay.. stuck now

my mind is mush. i drove over 12 hours today

also phant friend

though a close neighbor of that phant is a word and i probably should have kept my mouth shut

1:26 am

lol josh

1:28 am

one more and I can quit for the night

do that thang ruru

thang not being a word

1:30 am

I can't even find one more word .. how pathetic is that?

do you have the vowelicious ur5

1:33 am

got one finally.. off to bed.. night all

1:34 am

night ruru -- how many do you have?

night

1:35 am

Hello everyone

1:35 am

hi lyn

was just about to whine about being sure that x was a word and then realized i was being dyslexic and mixing two letters

1:36 am

hi Jilli. Do you know what happened with Ruru's hand? last time I saw him he was off to the specialist

1:37 am

Oh? Hadn't heard anything at all about ruru's hand -- what happened?

1:37 am

x? maybe that will make sense to me later Josh

1:38 am

Not sure Jilli, he was having pain

x being a stand-in for a word in the grid

ou5 to be exact

1:39 am

When was this? I wasn't here earlier today (playing bridge)

1:39 am

TY

1:39 am

a few days ago Jilli, maybe even a week

1:40 am

Must have missed it, lyn

1:56 am

Well, 29 left and stuck for now so I'll be off to bed -- g'night all and *poof*

hello am back again lol and hiya scouser xxx

2:34 am

2:35 am

system distinctly slow here this morning. Tide must be out.

2:42 am

yahooooo found an 8.

2:46 am

{{dear sprite}} my husband loved your collage! Thank you so much

2:46 am

good morning everybody

2:46 am

hello scouser and froggie

2:46 am

which means you have also found some 7s and 6s too

2:47 am

hello ruby hope all better

2:47 am

hi rubyfoo, am glad he liked it :) Good morning, good to see you play babble again today.

2:48 am

true, scouser

2:48 am

ty scouser.. We had frost this morning and I thought winter was over!

2:49 am

March has still got to come in like a lion so as it can go out like a lamb, we hope!

2:50 am

the afternoons have been splendid and all the bulbs are inches up

2:50 am

it is very dry, though, and people are complaining. Not me, these old bones like the dry weather and the warm afternoons

2:54 am

dry and warm (not hot) is lovely weather.

3:01 am

and the other 8! *does a proud little dance*

3:01 am

I don't mind hot, either

3:01 am

I just don't like cold and damp and grey

3:02 am

my favorite weather is warm, with a gentle breeze, and dry. Sunny, of course. I cannot stand heat too well.

3:03 am

the only time I like to work in the garden is when it's hot

3:04 am

I have to go sort out the fridge and the freezer. Did noble deed yesterday and defrosted the freezer so all too tidy in there now. Can't find a thing.

3:04 am

lol scouser... good luck.

3:05 am

Ciao

3:05 am

do you ever put things in freezer without labels, scouser?

3:05 am

{{herin}}

3:05 am

hi lady! How did the first days at your job go?

3:05 am

then you have frozen "mystery meals"

You have freezer pot luck :D

3:05 am

hahah

Really good. lots of training and moving stuff about.

3:06 am

wow sounds good, lady! Nice people?

3:06 am

I missed it, what is the new job, lady?

They are lovely and take no crap

3:07 am

your kind of people then! Am happy for you, lady.

Thanks

Ruby I am working in a Legal Firm as a Secretary. At the moment grunt monkey

3:08 am

but grunt monkey who is learning a lot!

Yes indeed

3:09 am

NBT!

3:10 am

good job, rubyfoo. I am kind of stuck at 44 left. Haven't found a new words for several minutes now.

Yah Ruby

3:11 am

any clues for the long words would be most welcome!

I have decided that when I have paid all my bills I will be sending gifts to my teachers. What they have taught me is invaluable

3:12 am

wow lady... you are a special lady. *hugs*

3:12 am

that is sooo nice, lady. Teachers go largely unacknowledged and unappreciated

3:12 am

ra8: he from Hamelen who stole the kids.

3:13 am

re8: those guys that make sure rules are obeyed in sports

Well everything they have taught me will be used

3:13 am

ty ty sprite, still looking for the ra but got the others

3:13 am

re7: he locates his stuff again

3:14 am

rodent + number + inverted 'again' prefix

3:14 am

that is very helpful, almost have half now smiling!

3:15 am

te7: more wet from crying

I had to pack up someones office today. I labeled everything according to were the things were and bubble wrapped the breakables

3:15 am

ooh, got the 8! yay

3:15 am

that sounds like a good job, lady. Things so often go missing when moving.

Thanks Sprite for teh clue.

3:16 am

yvw :)

3:16 am

half!

Well I would hate to have been on the receiving end of my office being moved only to come into work with everything upside down and breakables broken. Some things no matter how stupid they seem can be personal

3:17 am

Hi Babblers, done a quick run-through and have 86 left. Have left 'himself' in front of the TV. His turn to put dinner on the table tonight - after 2 weeks of not! - and then refuses to make me a cup of coffee!!??!! So I am having another glass of wine.

Hi Sara

3:18 am

Hi herin

3:20 am

hi SaraY

3:20 am

Hi sprite

3:21 am

very true, lady. Some of my personal stuff may look very stupid to somebody else. I have this mug saying : "You will always be my friend. You know too much about me." It is a souvenir of my friend who died some years ago. Precious beyond words.

Awwww Sprite. See the other thing is as well I remember how upset I was when my ex packed up my stuff (long story short just wanted out of there didn't care) and how irritated I was when stuff was missing

3:26 am

yeah I can imagine!

So I made sure I posted noted everything. The next stage is a major whole office clean out of random shtuff

3:29 am

Good morning all

3:29 am

hello sara, hello caitlyn

Hi Caitlyn

3:30 am

hi caitlyn

3:30 am

and hi to you ruby

3:30 am

(had to give husband a coffee and a banana -- speaking of monkeys!)

3:31 am

bananas too expensive here now after Cyclone Yazi wiped out the Queensland crop.

3:31 am

trying hard to fatten him up

3:31 am

hi caitlyn

3:31 am

Hi sprite

3:32 am

he's gained almost a lb in the week he's been home

3:32 am

wow that is impressive. Well done, rubyfoo.

3:32 am

his is sooo skinny

3:33 am

I have a horrible weekend in front of me,I have to travel to London to say my final godbye to my brother(62)

O Caitlyn Hugs

3:33 am

that is so sad, caitlyn!

Ruby Bacon Sarnies sorted my dad out

3:34 am

oh dear, caitlyn :( That is so sad. *hugs*

3:34 am

Same from me - I can't imagine how hard this will be for you xxoo

3:34 am

he won't eat fried food, butter, cheese or sweets

3:34 am

{{caitlyn}}

3:35 am

Thanks all what is even worse is that my other brother cut himself of from the family and died in Greece on1st Dec aged 60

3:35 am

I keep trying to spell tariff the Fr way

3:35 am

I tried that too, rubyfoo.

3:36 am

poor caitlyn! that is a lot to go through in such a short time; you must be reeling!

3:36 am

tough times, caitlyn, darn! Lots of sadness. *sending you supportive vibes and warm hugs*

3:36 am

Sorry I shouldnt come here to moan

3:37 am

yes of course you should, caitlyn. That is what a community is for: to share in joy and sorrow. I only wish there was more we could do than let you know we care.

3:37 am

what better place for moaning than here with supportive friends?

Caitlyn hugs don't be sorry

3:38 am

Sharing is good - sometimes it helps to put things in perspective although losing 2 brothers is incredibly sad. I have 2 brothers and can't imagine how I would cope in your situation.

3:38 am

we all care and come here for support and virtual hugs. It has truly helped me through some miseries!!!!

3:39 am

I have to be strong to support my mum

3:39 am

Anyway lets have some fun with this grid

3:39 am

all the more reason then to vent a bit here. Do you have somebody IRL who supports you in this?

3:40 am

it must be terrible for her as she probably feels it's against the "natural order" of things

3:40 am

the grid is good, should help you distract your mind for a bit for sure

3:40 am

it's a lovely grid and sprite's clues were very helpful!

Thanks for the clues sprite

3:41 am

I finished it by 7am LOL

3:42 am

there is no way I'll finish, but as long as I reach half, I'm happy. And I have 97 words *chuffed*

3:42 am

Good going ruby

3:42 am

yvw lady :)

3:42 am

that is more than half, wtg

3:43 am

the chat is such a warm place, very sustaining

3:43 am

I am still wrestling with the brick wall, 42 left now.

Well I am deciding to get this diet food for the time at work. I think it will be beneficial and cost effective

3:44 am

Although I havent joined in the chat for a while I know you have had problems ruby I hope hubby is on the mend now

3:45 am

the infection is gone, I think, but he is still not OK. He is old and this has taken its toll.

Ruby he will get better

3:46 am

I hope so, but don't feel very confident

3:47 am

Im sorry to hear that ruby perhaps he will recover more when spring comes

3:47 am

yes it will take time for him to build up health and energy again, rubyfoo. Patience is called for, which is difficult, grin. Don't worry to much until another month has passed, ok?

Ruby have faith. The friend of mine in Israel is fighting to stay here longer. Just have faith.

3:47 am

oh... and take it easy on the arsenic, ok? ;)

3:48 am

LOL sprite

3:48 am

I think that if he makes it through the winter, he'll start to be better

3:48 am

Spring is almost here

3:48 am

and he is back to being intermittently nasty, so maybe that's a good sign.....

3:49 am

I guess, rubyfoo, lol. Tell him to be nice or you'll send him back to hospital ;)

O have a laugh. Do any of you know the mono brow kid from the Simpsons?

3:51 am

never could get into the whole Simpson thing, to be honest.

3:51 am

I like them but dont know that kid

3:51 am

ruby, I don't know what you are dealing with but I wish you and your family all the best.

3:52 am

thank you sara

The Mono Brow kid is Maggies nemisis

3:52 am

I used to love the simpsons, but they run it (constantly) dubbed into Fr and it spoils it, not having Julie Kavner's voice!

3:53 am

Fr TV is capricious, to say the least

Any hoot my friends kid seriously looks like the monobrow kid

3:54 am

can she wax his monobrow while he's sleeping?

3:54 am

Poor thing lol

3:54 am

and when he wakes up, say "You must have had a bad dream"

She was born that way. I don't think it is morally right to wax a little kids brow (not that every time I see the pics I think the same thing)

3:55 am

hahah

3:55 am

at least, once she's a teenager, she'll be ready

Lols Ruby.

3:58 am

103 words and time to fix lunch. Big hugs for all of you and I'll be thinking of you Caitlyn!!!

3:58 am

*poof*

3:58 am

Bye ruby thanks

3:58 am

all the best, rubyfoo

3:58 am

bye ruby xx

bye ruby

4:05 am

30 left and slowly pecking away at the rest.

I just found pictures of one of my fellow trainees from years ago

4:06 am

Go sprite go!

4:07 am

Are you still in contact with her herin?

Him. Yes. We just starting working together. I think dead would be me if I told him about them

4:08 am

Keep quiet then lol

4:08 am

save it for his birthday :D

And giggle evilly when I se him

Evil Sprite

4:10 am

*grins* I confess.

4:13 am

I had better go now speak to you all soon ,good luck with the grid

Take Care Caitlyn

4:14 am

best of luck, caitlyn, and I'll be thinking of you. *hugs*

4:15 am

{{kje}}

6:06 am

hi MM

6:06 am

hello movieman

6:07 am

your help and advice were truly valuable, kje, I thank you profusely!

6:09 am

geri is very low tech, ruby - mostly common sense ad minimizing stupidity ; )

6:10 am

I got husband out of the hospital last Thursday as they were only giving him antibiotics orally. I got him pills, a visiting nurse comes every day, I am giving him all his favorite foods plus in-between snacks of bananas and apricots. He looks terrible and is very skinny, but, at least, he feels back in control!

6:11 am

I think if he had stayed longer in hospital, he would have died

6:11 am

((((Everybody))))

6:12 am

hospitals are fine if you really must be there, but not a safe place at all for older people... we try to avoid them and then get patients out ASAP

6:12 am

{{soodle}}!!!!!

6:12 am

hi soodle

6:12 am

Movie Man.... how lovely to see you. Its been a while :-)

6:12 am

you are a smart woman, ruby

6:12 am

ty kje

6:13 am

now I am arranging for his daughter in California to visit in Mar or Apr

6:13 am

(I follow expert advice!)

6:14 am

at first, he said no, but he's finally come around. And I got her permission to spring him from the hospital against their orders

6:14 am

nice... april is a pretty time in the south of france... I was mugged there i april once - LOL

6:14 am

no! In what town?

6:14 am

we had Japanese friends mugged in Marseille

6:16 am

in Antibes

6:17 am

2 guys on a motorbike opened the back door of the car and stole my bag while we were driving!

6:18 am

that is horrible! our friends had money, passports, etc. stolen and he was knocked down. They were on foot and two guys on a motorbike attacked them

6:18 am

probably the same two guys!

fera

6:18 am

hahaha - that would be funny

OOps.

6:19 am

fera is a fish from Lake Annecy!

6:19 am

but, I also had the best glass of champagne ever, while overlooking the Mediterranean from a relais and chateau hotel in Eze - stunning view!

6:20 am

I've been all over, but never in Eze or Antibes, too fancy for me, then.....

I knew of someone years ago whose purse was grabbed by a guy on a motorbike in Italy- but she was dragged along and got massive brain injury

to put a cheery note into this

6:20 am

oh no, kaplan, that's awful!

6:20 am

we needed some cheer

6:21 am

that is horrible, kap

Never recovered in fact. So ...good morning!

6:21 am

living in Miami, I learned to keep my car doors locked

6:22 am

that was my first trip to france... just a story to tell now, and I got to visit the embassy to get a new passport... so just an experience

6:24 am

how much time have you spent in France, KJE?

6:25 am

I have been 6 times.... several weeks at a time... but I have not picked up much language

6:26 am

next time you come, pleaqse come to Annecy

6:26 am

it is beautiful here

6:26 am

I will be in Geneva this summer, so will try to see you

6:26 am

rage

rage is good.

6:27 am

that would be wonderful. We are 35 minutes from the airport, 45 minutes from downtown

6:27 am

oops = sorry

6:28 am

Hi ruby and everyone else

6:28 am

I don't know how our driving will be by summer, but you would be most welcome to visit, stay overnight, have a meal, whatever!!!!

6:28 am

{{bichon}}

6:28 am

we ca chat as the time gets closer... I will be there late May or early June most likely

6:28 am

I'll be here....

6:30 am

6:30 am

I have a weddig in Italy June 11

6:31 am

6:31 am

6:31 am

6:31 am

how old are you, lucy?

6:32 am

Prato area

6:32 am

why? 14

6:32 am

yeah i do no how to plsy

6:32 am

I only know bits and pieces of Italy, and none of them well

6:32 am

you ca read the help section to learn the rules, but essentially you enter words that are at least 4 letters long

6:32 am

i have found 150 words

6:32 am

just know the art

6:32 am

good for you!

6:33 am

better than me!

6:33 am

for hints, click o the "Lickety's babble clues" link under the grid

6:33 am

Italy, art, spring. Sounds wonderful

6:33 am

so when are you arriving, bichon?

6:34 am

yesterday

6:34 am

I have drive from Geneva to Cortona before, ad stayed at lake Como, ad visited Florence - all in January

6:34 am

I'm ready

6:34 am

so art without massive crowds

6:34 am

brrr

6:34 am

thanks kje

I am sooooooooooooo jealous.

6:35 am

do it someday, kap... plan off seaso or shoulder... cheaper, less crowds

6:35 am

my first time in Italy, in 1967, my 4-yr-old son and I visited the Pinatoecca (no idea of the spelling) and it was so empty, and my boy was so cute, that a guard took us to a closed section

6:36 am

it was in Oct, I think

6:36 am

sweet, ruby!

6:37 am

living here is a great pleasure except for getting old and sick and negotiating all that in another language.....

6:37 am

Michaelangelo's David i Florence with o line and could stad and look as long as I wated... that would never happen in June

6:37 am

ruby, what city is the Pinatoecca in?

6:37 am

oops... that was illegible

6:37 am

in '64 in Paris, I used to take my (then) baby into the Louvre with his stroller and sit and draw.

6:38 am

I saw Michaelagelo's David with no line in January... that would never happen in JUne - then you get pushed through

6:38 am

it probably just means "art museum" but that one was in Sienna. I don't know any Italian, can barely figure out a menu if it isn't in Queens!

6:38 am

that is cool, ruby... I LOVE Paris

6:38 am

I found Sienna disturbing

I am curling up and shriveling with jealousy

6:39 am

I spent a lot of time there with 1st husband who was a Fr historian(but American).

6:39 am

kap - go!!!

6:39 am

Paris is sooo beautiful

6:40 am

Saint Chapelle

6:40 am

and being there with a little baby and then when he was 4 was a great pleasure. It opened many doors

6:40 am

sait chapelle is my fave - much prettier than notre dame

6:40 am

yes, bichon, one of the most special places!!!!

Would love to- we haven't been able to afford to travel but did some nice trips in '04 and '05- paris, amsterdam, Barcelona, Segovia and a bike trip through parts of the Netherlands

6:40 am

I went to a concert there last trip... I always stop by and look at the windos every trip

6:41 am

sounds good to me, kaplan!

6:41 am

that sounds beautiful, kap!

6:41 am

I want to go to Spain

6:41 am

We are supposed to be going to the Baltic Staes this summer for our 40th

I'm afraid we won't ever be able to go back!

6:41 am

I didn't know they had concerts there -- how wonderful!

6:42 am

I think Spain has the best food!

6:42 am

why do you say that kap... ever is a long time

6:42 am

Nobody beats the French

6:42 am

yes, it was Verdi's seasons

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$

6:42 am

it does't have to cost a lot...off season ad economize

6:43 am

not in this shtetl, bichon, everything is cooked with cheese around here. Tapas in Spain is, for me, the best of all

But enough whining

Someday

6:43 am

I want to just drive all over spain sampling every town's best tapas!

6:43 am

"Everything is cooked with cheese around here" ... Ruby, you say that like it's a bad thing. : D

6:44 am

Cheese, yes. But Italy is a close second to France. i've eaten tapas, and wasn't that crazy about them. Paella good though

6:44 am

100 yrs ago, when we were there for a couple of weeks (1st husband, again), we had paella and gazpacho for lunch every day, but had tapas for dinner because son was only 4

6:44 am

hahah molly!

Molly has a friend in Cheeses.

6:45 am

we live in the valley of Reblochon!

6:46 am

I love French cheese shops... a sensory overload

6:46 am

we have a shop here that reminds me of walkig into a Paris cheese shop... love it!

6:46 am

too funny. I like cheese but can't stand the smell

6:47 am

mmmmm, I love it all

6:47 am

Actually, for cheese, I like Italian food more

6:48 am

I can exist on cheese, bread, olives, and wine for most meals if I let myself

6:48 am

I prefer cheez doodles and vodka! hahah

6:48 am

omg, me too, kje!!

6:48 am

spain has fantastic cheeses - some of my faves

6:48 am

(and fresh fruit)

6:48 am

ruby LOL!!!

6:49 am

bonjour une, we are talking about eating in Europe and I'm making fun of the local cuisine!

6:49 am

funny ruby

6:49 am

right . . . I was reading back in the chog :-)

6:49 am

bread, France, the ultimate heaven. We visited the Poulain bakery in Paris. Got a special tour of the basement ovens and my hubby got a sample of the sponge

6:49 am

bread, France, the ultimate heaven. We visited the Poulain bakery in Paris. Got a special tour of the basement ovens and my hubby got a sample of the sponge

6:50 am

I'm not talking about eating in Europe since I've never done so. Give me bacon, eggs and hash browns at a good ole American diner. : P

6:50 am

I miss Pepperidge Farm white bread!

6:50 am

Ruby, that makes the best French toast ever.

6:50 am

or chicken friend steak, gravy and grits with a fried egg on top!

6:50 am

I'll fax some to you

6:50 am

how can that be, ruby!?!?! you live in one of the best bread countries in the world!

6:50 am

they call French toast pain perdu

6:51 am

tu plaisantes, non??

6:51 am

oui, un peu

6:51 am

missing white bread? LOL

6:51 am

now I want cheese for breakfast

6:51 am

right une? I don't even buy white bread

6:52 am

I'm getting very hungry. Time for porridge

6:52 am

I am a bad and simple eater, obsessed with food and adventuresome, but eat odd stuff. Today I cooked pork brains on toast for my lunch. Husband had to look away!

6:52 am

I cosider myself an adventurous eater... but I will ot visit you if you serve me pig brai

6:52 am

eewwww

6:53 am

ROFL!

6:53 am

believe it or not, bichon, I've developed a serious oatmeal allergy in the last year -- at 67!

6:53 am

Pain perdu? As in Frank Perdue? : P

6:53 am

don't worry, kje, I would never impose that on anybody. Even the dog looked away

6:53 am

What happens if you eat oatmeal. I have never heard of that

6:53 am

While whole wheat bread is healthier, white bread has it's place. Yes indeed.

6:53 am

ah man, I LOVE oatmeal... the chewy steel cut ones

6:54 am

but, most of all, I miss Cream of Wheat!

6:54 am

(and sushi)

6:54 am

I eat oatmeal, couscous or cream of wheat every morning except when hubby makes pancakes or waffles

6:54 am

hate cream of wheat.... gets lumpy fast

6:54 am

Ruby, can you order cream of wheat on line?

6:54 am

mmmmm, now you've got me thinking about a giant bowl of mussels in white wine and garlic in the Loire Valley . . . sopped up juices with mountains of bread LOL

6:54 am

Cream of Wheat i comfort food

6:55 am

love those lumps!

6:55 am

served with a nice sancere, une!

6:55 am

yes, when my son went away to school, I only ate cream of wheat

6:55 am

sancere?

6:55 am

well, remind me and I will brig you cream of wheat

6:55 am

indeed, kje! :-)

6:55 am

that's a good idea, practical molly

6:55 am

white wine, bichon

6:56 am

sancerre (sp?)

6:56 am

I'm going to the kitchen to make some oatmeal with walnuts and raisons

6:56 am

white wine on Cream of Wheat?

6:56 am

would have to google, une

6:56 am

I am going to get the newspaper and take a nap, hopefully, before the nurse arrives.

6:56 am

speaking of CHEESE, kje -- fabbo fondue with local wine in Swiss mountain village . . . omg

6:57 am

no, sweet cream, brown sugar and butter on Cream of Wheat!

6:57 am

hagd ruby

6:57 am

yes, une!

6:57 am

bye, ruby -- fun chat :-)

6:57 am

une, do you know raclette, the savoie specialty?

6:57 am

I'm going to get a post-prandial snack

6:57 am

yes, had some the summer I worked in Switzerland

6:57 am

actually, I like food everywhere I go, and now I want cheese

6:58 am

{{everybody}} yes, it was fun and I've just gained 5 lbs!

6:58 am

yes, had raclette i a friend's home in bern

6:59 am

now you can buy the table top raclette cookers here... I almost succumbed

6:59 am

i've got to go as well -- 'tis one of my Whole Foods pickup days for the soup kitchen -- hagd, all! *poof*

6:59 am

7:35 am

was working on the opposite of outer

7:35 am

thanks, Mom

7:35 am

I hear babblers talk about how they do a grid, I just pop in and see what I can see. I think a system would be easier

7:36 am

finw

7:36 am

ah cr**

7:36 am

When I do the grid with a system I fi4 it easier but of course when I see a clue I jump on it

7:37 am

7:37 am

Good Morning my friends

7:38 am

I think a system would be better

7:38 am

Hi River

7:38 am

How is everyone today?

7:39 am

pretty good and you? How are you feeling?

7:41 am

I second what Molly said

7:54 am

sounds like a step in the right direction

7:54 am

hi, river, it's not exactly luck that has me here; I've put a short version of my dad's story in my profile

7:54 am

good deal. How far away does the son live from your dad?

7:55 am

folding??? what is that

7:55 am

heck I will say fief and it plural so I can have my tea in a china cup

7:55 am

it is where you use the extra computing capacity on your computer to cure cancer

7:55 am

hundreds of miles, mom, as do I

7:55 am

ooh, thanks for the plural, mom!

7:55 am

see my profile and then crossy's for a better explaination

7:56 am

<===holding out

7:56 am

me too, jmc, I've some nice hot tea here, and stuffed baked potatoes

7:56 am

((uusue)) sorry to hear about your Dad - that is so hard expecially at that age....

7:57 am

I will have to check that out when I am home..Cant do something like that at work

7:57 am

I talked to him last night, and he's REALLY happy that I am here. So that's good.

7:57 am

he still in the hospital?

7:57 am

uusue, would your dad consider moving to IL to be with you?

7:57 am

you are a good daughter

7:57 am

he's in rehab, jmc, and has been for a couple of weeks now

7:58 am

mom, I don't think so; he's lived in NJ for all of his 89 years and has pretty strong roots here :-)

7:58 am

that's right sorry sometimes hard to remember the details of everyone stories

7:58 am

uusue, just read your profile and I hope everything works out well for you all

7:58 am

7:59 am

hi mkg

7:59 am

7:59 am

7:59 am

I must go now - breakfast and then work *sigh* - see you al l later - ((Hugs))

7:59 am

bye river, have an easy day

7:59 am

hello mkg

8:00 am

i keep trying to have a data base of info on babblers (a notebook really) but keep losing it around the house

8:00 am

, no, my brother and sister are both gone; my sister's daughter lives in NH but just had her 3rd baby, and they are not all that close to my dad anyway. so I'm it

8:00 am

bye river -- check into folding at home and fight the cancer that killed your friend

8:01 am

I will do that jmc - bye for now

8:01 am

hi annie

8:01 am

ok, the chog is randomly eating bits of my posts, and duplicating other ones; the last one was addressed to mom (((mom)))

8:01 am

hi jmc

8:01 am

hi mom

8:01 am

orine

8:01 am

dear me uu what a burden--i hope your dad has a faith community or friends ne**by

8:01 am

oops sorry

8:01 am

hi, mkg!

8:02 am

not a word, though, mkg :-)

8:02 am

hi uusue

8:02 am

*Makes room for Mom in the PB*

8:02 am

jmc, yes, he does have quite a few friends, and they are rallying around him which is nice

8:02 am

that is good; that will really help you in the long run

8:03 am

why is mom in pb? where is the word?????

8:03 am

yes; I've taken leave from work but can't stay indefinitely

8:03 am

at 7:55, mkg

8:03 am

Read back in the chat mkg. She did it on purpose.

8:04 am

saw it.

8:04 am

Sue, good to hear your Dad has a circle around him.

8:04 am

ok all, need help. i only have 64 word s and am stumped. ugh.

8:04 am

Fief. Bunch up, gals, here I come!!!

8:04 am

how bout some clues for 7s please?

8:04 am

brb

8:04 am

yes, his best friend from childhood called me last night and offered whatever help he could. really nice!

8:05 am

*Welcomes Soodle to the PB. Spikes her coffee*

8:05 am

What mkg said. I don't have any 8's either :-)

8:05 am

Woo-hoo!!! Hope its not poteen - LOL

8:06 am

A 7/8 combo are the men in black and white who officiate sports games.

8:06 am

ooh, thanks, molly - now nbs and nbt!

8:06 am

It's well aged poteen. Soodle will be having a wobbly, but fun morning.

8:07 am

LOL. Sláinte

8:07 am

ty got it.

8:07 am

got both

8:08 am

Just read your profile, UUsue. You sure got a lot going on there. Your step-mom's attitude is....(searching for right word...) curious!

8:09 am

thx, soodle - I think a lot of it is because she is ill, but that doesn't make it any easier on my dad.

8:10 am

and to be fair, he can be not the easiest person to get along with - there's a reason I was so eager to get out of the house when I was 17! (went to college, but still...couldn't wait to get out!)

8:11 am

but that was eons ago (I can say eon today, right?) and he's mellowed considerably since then, in large part due to her. So my feelings are very mixed.

8:11 am

sorry, potty break.... scrolling back. uusue, I am so sorry for your loss of your siblings

8:12 am

((Soodle)) hello

8:12 am

thx, mom, neither was recent (not that that helps)

8:12 am

thanks for re 7 and 8 Molly

8:12 am

(((Mom))) Lovely to see you :-)

8:12 am

((uusue))

8:13 am

you as well Soodle

8:13 am

mkg, I used a word on purpose so I could get my hot tea in a china cup

8:13 am

*plops back in* got the red message of doom again, hi Soodle

8:14 am

(((Annie))))

8:14 am

welcome back, annie!

8:14 am

Annie, that seems to be happening more and more here lately. I was thinking it was my internet connection but I could still go to other sites. Don't know.

8:14 am

((((Soodlebum)))

8:14 am

Annie, have you tried emailing Dr. G about you getting booted all the time?

8:14 am

Were any of you here yesterday when Dr_God was on?

8:14 am

I get it on other sites too

8:15 am

No I wasnt

8:15 am

It wasn't him Mom. He logged in later and said it was someone in his office.

8:16 am

Okay Annie, if it's happening on other sites, I would suggest you have someone take a look at your computer. You may have some kind of virus.

8:16 am

8:17 am

8:47 am

Hi Judi!

8:47 am

hi and bye Judi

8:49 am

No need to run off. I just took a shower.

8:51 am

Temp is supposed to be 70 deg. today! Hubby and I are going to the beach! LOL!

8:53 am

Ooo, the beach! Lucky you!

8:53 am

If he ever gets out of bed.

8:53 am

be sure to wear sunscreen

8:53 am

Which one do you go to?

8:53 am

Rehoboth Beach. Southern Delaware.

8:54 am

I like the Cape Helopen beach, it's so pretty. I do love the town of Rehoboth though. I would love to live there.

8:54 am

I always wear sunscreen (even in February). I have ridiculously fair skin.

8:54 am

Agh...Cape Henlopen.

8:55 am

We don't usually go to Cape Henlopen. Maybe I'll suggest that. We're taking the dog. I'm sure she'd love a romp on the beach.

8:56 am

When we do Henlopen, we go into Lewes afterward. So many cool shops there.

8:57 am

are the shops open this time of year?

8:57 am

I agree, Molly. I'm just wondering if anything will be open in mid-Feb.

8:57 am

Which reminds me, I have to make a reservation for dinner. BRB.

8:58 am

Rehoboth and Lewes have become year round towns. A lot of people live there permanently, not just in the summer. Ooo, ooo, where are you having dinner?

9:01 am

Hmm. Don't know where we might end up for dinner. I was going to use Open Table, but there's not many resturants listed for Rehoboth/Lewes, etc.

9:02 am

Any recommendations, Molly?

9:02 am

be back later.

9:03 am

What do you like to eat?

9:03 am

LOL. Food. I like seafood. Hubby likes just about anything.

9:03 am

We used to love La La Land, but they closed. :-((

9:04 am

We avoid the chains and pub grub.

9:04 am

hi everyone -- have company just now, so just popping in until everyone gets up :)

9:05 am

Hiya, cybernan!

9:07 am

Judi, I think The Rusty Rudder is open year round. They have good food.

9:09 am

Nah. We're too middle aged for Rusty Rudder. Especially on a Friday night. I'm not a big fan of Bethany Beach either. We'll find something. Not a big dea.

9:09 am

*deal*

9:09 am

Gotta feed the dog. BRB.

9:10 am

Jakes Seafood is good too, and they are right in town.

9:10 am

Good morning all!

9:12 am

Mornin' Car.

9:13 am

Hi! You are making me hungry talking about yummy restaurants!

9:13 am

the blue moon - good food, ad sometimes with live music

9:13 am

and not young kids

9:13 am

and lots of seafood dishes

9:14 am

wait a sec...

9:14 am

http://www.bluemoonrehoboth.com/about. htm

9:16 am

Here is a link to Jakes too...http://www.jakesseafoodhouse.com /

9:17 am

there is a place called go fish also that has fresh fish and is open in winter

9:19 am

over half way and company is up, so better go make breakfast

9:19 am

Bye Cyber! Have fun!

9:39 am

Hi kids.

9:42 am

hello again babblers

9:42 am

Hi RD

9:42 am

how are you scrabbs

9:43 am

I am well and must get ready to go snowshoeing in the woods.

9:43 am

perfect day for it - warm and sunny

9:43 am

Are you doing well too?

9:44 am

fighting a bad cold - going to the Doc today as I think I have a sinus infection but getting by

9:44 am

Yep, 50F and very bright outside. The XC ski trails will not be in great shape after 3 warm days but there is still tons of snow.

9:45 am

we have some awesome trails behind our house - have 300 acres of conservation land that we use for snowshoeing and my husband does alot of back country skiing

9:46 am

I have had nasal allergy symptoms out of control since Monday and my suspicion for the trigger (besides my dusty home) is the air refreshener I started using on Sunday. Renuzit--that jelly stuff--here in the house and in the car. I have been sneezing and blowing my nose all week.

9:47 am

I have backcountry skis too. The temp will drop soon and winter will resume, which I am happy about. I want to ski for another few wks.

9:47 am

my boss has been coughing and sneezing for 2 weeks - it was inevitable that I would catch his cold - mostly nasally but now the pressure is incredible so I must go see the Doc. Alevert and Musinex are not cutting it.

9:48 am

he and my son hiked MT Kartigan a couple of weeks ago and skied down - my son on his snowboard - that was quite an adventure. I cant do that stuff anymore

9:49 am

Cool! So he had his board strapped on his backpack?

9:49 am

Do you have to be concerned about avalanches?

9:50 am

yes he did - I dont think so at least there has been no mention of avalances on the smaller mountains. They certainly would not do Mt Washington

9:50 am

Is there a trail to hike on or do you have to trek through deep snow?

9:51 am

The bare rocky summit of Mount Cardigan, at 3,121 feet, affords a panoramic view stretching from rural New Hampshire in the foreground to the summits of the White Mountains in the distance. In 1855, a devastating fire burned over the summit and removed all the vegetation, including the thin soil. Well over a century later, the summit remains bare of all but a few lichens.

9:52 am

There are several trails - very busy hiking mountain in the fall - small and doable

9:53 am

winter is challenging because of the snow but they had a blast

9:53 am

hi River and Scrabbs and lurkers too.. Happy Friday! This week went by quickly

9:54 am

Fun, fun! Well, I must get ready now. Enjoy your weekend!

9:54 am

Hello Aloy

9:54 am

Enjoy, Scrabbs!

9:54 am

Hi Aloy--I have to get ready for a snowshoeing trek in the woods. Bye!

9:54 am

Have fun snowshoeing - bye scrabbs

11:28 am

phone keeps ringing and i have to act like i know something

11:29 am

I have that same problem JMC. What a pain in the ass.

11:29 am

i think the phone should stop working when i have decided to babble for a while

11:31 am

It would be might damn considerate of it, wouldn't it?

11:32 am

yeap and considering how helpful i am most of the time, i think it would be the least it could do

11:44 am

Hey, everyone. :3

11:44 am

12:20 pm

still looking for the bug

12:21 pm

It's a little teeny weeny one.

12:23 pm

Hi, all!

12:23 pm

Hello Sue, how is your Dad?

12:24 pm

well it was certainly time to update my icon! anyone who likes adorable children, check it out.

12:25 pm

Hi, Molly! He's doing really well. Will be coming home on Tuesday!!!

12:25 pm

That's good to hear Sue. HURSH! They have gotten so big. Such cuties.

12:30 pm

well when you don't update the pic for a year, they do tend to grow a bit.

12:37 pm

Only if you feed them. : P

12:47 pm

It really disappoints me that The Girl Scouts are selling a cookie called "Thank U Berry Munch". Can't The Girl Scouts use proper English instead of text-speak?

12:51 pm

dear me, molly! and the cookies are so expensive now - when I was selling them, they were 35 cents a box (ok, not exactly recently) :-)

12:54 pm

is it just me or are there a lot of phantoms in this grid? I keep wanting to enter tariff, tanager, ...

12:57 pm

Yes Sue, lots of phantoms. And Nef and Annie too. At least The Girl Scouts have decent uniforms now. Those things we wore looked like prison dresses.

12:58 pm

Right! I saw annie, but I missed nef! And I'm a phantom too, of course :-)

12:59 pm

friend is another phantom...

1:00 pm

well, 10 more and I will be halfway.

1:03 pm

go uu go

1:03 pm

hi, jmc!

1:05 pm

none of the cookie money goes to the troop and the girls have to buy their own uniforms

1:06 pm

i never buy the cookies since i think they should pay sales tax and they don't just another cheating aspect of the whole girl scout cookie scam

1:06 pm

really?? We always had to buy our own uniforms, but the troop got 5 cents from every box (doesn't sound like much but the boxes were 35 cents)

1:06 pm

:-(((

1:07 pm

Well, I don't buy the cookies any more either since I am too fat anyway and my partner has celiac disease, so no wheat in our house...

1:07 pm

they get a tiny but maybe still get .05 from every $4 box

1:07 pm

well, that doesn't seem fair!

1:07 pm

still no bug

1:08 pm

I was never much good at selling them, either :-)

1:08 pm

that is why i don't buy them -- that and the sales tax thing

1:08 pm

i was extremely good at selling them

1:08 pm

did you want a clue or statistics on the bug?

1:08 pm

sure i am sick of looking for it

1:09 pm

<===wearing grump mask today

oh, right!

1:11 pm

ha - halfway now!

1:11 pm

wtg uu

1:12 pm

ra4/6 and an5/14 seem pretty apt to me today and I have no clue why

1:12 pm

probably because i have what my mother called a vanilla pudding headache

1:13 pm

don't forget the en6 jmc

1:13 pm

yes! i am en6d!

1:16 pm

wow you are mad as a ha6 today

1:16 pm

lol i just saw that too

1:16 pm

different kind of mad!

1:17 pm

didn't have the an5 for some reason; now I am more than halfway, thanks to jmc's headache (ducks behind black cloud looking for silve lining)

1:17 pm

*silver

1:17 pm

lol

1:23 pm

If you want a laugh, go read the BS mumbo jumbo on the Girl Scout site about where the revenue from the cookie sales goes.

1:24 pm

what the heck is a vanilla pudding headache?

1:25 pm

it is where your head feels like it is full of vanilla pudding

1:26 pm

doesn't exactly hurt as much as it doesn't work well

1:26 pm

1:42 pm

jmcnrick was in as grumpy a mood today as I have ever se4/4. She ra4/6 a peel over everyone ne4/4 her in the chog and her office. The ra5/14of her ability to swear was amazing with some oa4/5s I have never heard before. I joked that she was mad as a ha6/21 but it en6/24d her even more like a th5/12 under her saddle. Her face actually turned or6/24 with ra4/6. She put the fe4/7 in her staff who thought she might fi4/7 them. They acted like fi5/22 since she had become such a fi5/18. She was definitely as mad as a ho6/21. I think she should smoke a re6/27 and mellow out. Don’t go ne6/18 to her than you have to.

1:43 pm

thanks so much jmc, got lots of words from that rant

1:43 pm

okay with that i will go pretend to do end of year financial stuff

1:44 pm

glad to help it was a grid to suit my mood for sure

1:44 pm

Thats wonderful, Sue. My Dad is 84. We recently had to have his licence rescinded (sp?). He came home one complaining about the bad manners of other drivers. Upon enquiry, we learned he had gone the wrong way round a roundabout, incurring the wrath of other road users. It was then we decided that maybe his driving days were over!

Thanks - that's the only one I have. there are at least 2 more...

5:08 pm

The other is ur + 3 vowels

5:08 pm

And another UR has three vowels following

5:08 pm

Soodle, I think he certainly has to wait until he has full motion and response in his leg, and isn't on painkillers any more, and has sufficient vision (he has macular degeneration and just had cataract surgery before he fell). I really want to talk to his doctor to be sure (mentally he is fine)

5:09 pm

And there is a ur4 which is a common babblet

5:11 pm

got em! thank you all so much! I was struggling up there for so long...

5:11 pm

Until about 3 years ago, both my parents were fit as fiddles. All of a sudden,at the ages of 80 & 76, they got old. Its very hard for them, and equally hard for us, their offspring. Old age is not as the adverts would have you believe... its painful, degrading and difficult. (sorry... I've finished ranting now!)

5:12 pm

yw rose

5:12 pm

yes, soodle, at 89 he's had a longer run than most; he's not ready to be any less independent than he's ever been but that time is coming (even if it's not yet here)

5:13 pm

It is time for me to go rustle up some dinner. Happy Babbling all.

5:13 pm

bye, wht!

5:13 pm

Bye Wht, and well done!

5:13 pm

so who watched "watson" on jeopardy this week?

5:15 pm

then again,so is mine;(

5:15 pm

Sue, my Dad was in hospital recently. I went to visit him, and he complained bitterly about that 'Ould fella' in the bed next to him. (The 'Ould fella' was about 15 years younger than my Dad).... you gotta laugh...

5:16 pm

Hey - the Jeopardy thing is big here in Europe - How did Watson do?

5:16 pm

yes, my dad is complaining about being in a place full of old, sick people (most of them are not significantly older than he is, but many of them are in fact significantly sicker)

5:17 pm

watson won - i think his ringing in speed was an unfair advantage.

5:19 pm

hi folks

5:19 pm

And is that the finale, Hurshy? Have comptuers beaten humans?

5:20 pm

howdy welki

5:20 pm

Hello Welki :-)

5:20 pm

no, humans who designed watson have beaten humans who answer trivia questions

5:20 pm

i didn't like him as a contestant, but it occurred to me that he would be a vast improvement over alex if we could get him to host the show.

5:20 pm

Hi, welky!

5:21 pm

LOL Hursh!

5:21 pm

lol, hurshy! (not that i ever watch, but I get it...)

5:21 pm

i don't often watch, and it's because of alex!!

hurshy, you were in yesterday's grid! hi all

5:22 pm

howdy T.O

5:23 pm

o.O

5:24 pm

By some weird osmosis-type thing, whenever I watch quiz shows, some of the answers lodge in what remains of my brain. I usually can't remember what I ate for dinner yesterday, but I will invariably remember what the capitol of Peru is.

5:25 pm

then i could have played hostess all day. "welcome to my grid!"

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

Yay Hurshy!!!! :-)

5:26 pm

6:41 pm

bbl

6:41 pm

and, I love hulu too............

6:43 pm

hulu is veboten to canadians;(

6:43 pm

it is blocked for us;(((

6:44 pm

because... it sounds hawaiian and it depresses you to think of all that weather you'll never have?

6:44 pm

oh, blocked, that does make more sense.

6:44 pm

Hi hurshy

6:44 pm

Cross, can you watch on the network sites?

6:45 pm

time for a break...bbs

6:45 pm

our crtc has so many copyright regs going,the best place for us to watch movies and other programmes is believe it or not you tube lol

6:46 pm

pssst, http://hurwi.net/blog/?p=139

6:46 pm

looking hurshy....

6:46 pm

but you didn't hear it from me *looks around furtively*

6:47 pm

dont know what yer talking bout hurshy:)))))\

6:47 pm

but ty;))

6:47 pm

and torrents for us have basically vanished as of this year

6:48 pm

crossy used to love vuse

6:48 pm

So if you are on a computer in Canada, and you type in cbs.com, you don't go to the CBS broadcasting web site?

6:48 pm

vuze*

6:48 pm

well,yes,but ewww..why would i want to? lol

6:49 pm

Because you can "watch full episodes" like you can on hulu. I thought that is what we were talking about.

6:50 pm

well,yes you can but is very limited to second rate crap..crossy is very fussy with what he watches

6:51 pm

ill pass on 2 year old episode of ultimate home renovations and reality shows

6:53 pm

That isn't all that's available, but you've made your point.

6:54 pm

lol,the strawman effect:) i can be bad for that

6:54 pm

with 50 left I am calling it a night. Good night to all of you and good luck ((hugs))

6:54 pm

gn mom

6:54 pm

pleasant dreams ((Crossy))

6:55 pm

i want to see 127 hours and the kings speech

6:56 pm

Goodnight Mom, sweet dreams.

6:58 pm

I think it's discriminatory how some countries block other countries from watching what they stream. I've run into that trying to watch stuff on Australian sites.

6:58 pm

heck molly,you should try dealing with our download caps

6:58 pm

night, mom!

6:59 pm

and overage penalties

6:59 pm

and locked in 3 year plans

6:59 pm

6:59 pm

Night Sue.

6:59 pm

big brother is watching us;/

7:00 pm

Man, they really do gauge y'all in other places for that free health care, don't they?

Thunder and lightning tonight- weird

I have 138 words piled up, and I only just now got ra4. sheesh.

7:03 pm

We're having big wind Kap. How are you feeling?

7:04 pm

sorry, phone. Good night Molly, pleasant dreams

7:05 pm

good night uusue, pleasant dreams

Still kind of crappy- major headache for the last 48 hours. thanks for asking- it's always nice to have someone to kvetch to.

such a headache I have.

7:06 pm

Those stomach buggy things usually end up with bad residuals, like headaches and depleting fatigue. Hope it's over soon.

7:07 pm

i've been headachy this week too kap - maybe it's the weather?

I just monkeys a weird ga5 word. Yiddish?

7:07 pm

I thought it was a Hebrew letter.

sitting with clients yesterday thinking "you think YOU have troubles?"

7:07 pm

It means thief.

It's a thief- variant spelling

7:08 pm

I like the definition...scoundrel.

What language does Enable speak, anyway?

7:09 pm

Who knows? I always see that word with an "o" and an "i".

7:10 pm

lol molly,there is no such thing as free...

7:10 pm

No indeed Cross, you're right about that.

7:10 pm

but at least people do not lose their homes to get broken bones fixed

7:10 pm

not perfect but it works..sort of...maybe...

7:11 pm

thorn

7:11 pm

Along the lines of "first, let's kill all the lawyers" (except JMC)...we need to "get rid of all the blood sucking insurance companies". I so want to start a revolution.

yes, there's that

7:12 pm

ty rhorn,i like your clues best

7:12 pm

i agree!

Revolution starting in Wisconsin.

7:13 pm

That movie "The Rainmaker" came out in '97. And yet no one did anything about the health insurance rape it portrayed.

7:13 pm

actually lawyers are better than insurance companies,at least lawyers have a vested interest in yo winning the case,insurance compaines get the most out of you for the lest service

All I can hope for is that these maniacs that just took over Congress will be so outrageous that the whole thing will blow up in their faces. They voted to defund Planned parenthood today- for any purpose.

7:14 pm

WHAT???

i am kaplan and i approve this message. and now back to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress

7:15 pm

Hi there all.

Don't worry, it will never get passed the Senate. I just got an e-mail alert from the Nation (magazine)

7:15 pm

Hiya Peach.

7:15 pm

May I please have a clue for ur5-12 the 1st? Thanks

To hell in a handbasket

pee

7:15 pm

No, the first is ur + first three vowels.

7:16 pm

Or is that some Enable way of saying pee.

7:16 pm

Have that as the 2nd ur-5, Kaplan. Thanks anyway.

Now I have to figure out which vowels

Got it.

7:17 pm

Thanks much, MollyL

7:17 pm

Maybe it's the language they speak on Uranus.

7:17 pm

haha

Ohhhh- I am not going to touch that one.

7:18 pm

HA! Good one Molly.

stop thinking dirty.

7:18 pm

Go ahead, let fly with the anus jokes. Who named that planet anyway?

7:18 pm

Well, that depends on where you put the accent in Uranus.

Either way, it's spinach.

7:19 pm

Yes Champ, but if you change the accent, then it gives way to ur5/12 jokes.

7:19 pm

spinach, spinACH...

exactly. Who DID name that thing anyway?

7:20 pm

Ur, god of Anuses...

Is this day over yet?

7:20 pm

Some astronomer's 12-year-old son. Of course, if that was true, the planet would be called Boobus.

(snicker)

7:20 pm

Or Peni

Stats on the 8s?

7:22 pm

The 8's are ra and re.

7:22 pm

ra8/40

8:21 pm

thank ye kindly both :)

8:22 pm

in stereo none the less!

8:23 pm

i feel like i'm in an aviary :)

8:24 pm

why is that, hursh?

8:24 pm

Good evening....I have not been babbling for a few weeks and was just reading Jillyjill's profile...what happened to NancyBoy?

8:25 pm

why is that is because in stereo the birds, the bird makes the sound of its name

8:26 pm

nancyboy got malaria in korea cause his doctor told him he didn't need antimalarial meds to go there and then his liver got back because of the malaria and the chelation to treat the malaria and then he had a transplant but his body didn't take it and he got pneumonia and he did not pull through. :(

8:26 pm

April..link http://babblersanonymous.yuku.com/topi c/593/Condolences-on-Nancy-Boy-s-Passi ng

8:26 pm

liver got BAD.

8:27 pm

sorry if that was a bit abrupt, i'm used to summarizing plots of TV episodes for people...

8:28 pm

Oh my gosh - I am so saddened to hear that. I am the "silent babbler" (for the most part) but always enjoy the blogs - his was often on when I was playing and while I've never met him or any of you I feel a connection...what a tragedy :-(

8:29 pm

I hadn't played in a couple of weeks, came on 10 days after he had passed...we chatted many times..broke my heart.

8:29 pm

I really miss NB. Every once in a while, we get to making jokes about things, and I half expect him to chime in. He would do that. You wouldn't know he was here, and then there he would be. With someting funny to say. He was such a bright spirit.

8:32 pm

crossy misses NB..:(

8:33 pm

It

8:33 pm

It's a sad thing. You hate to hear of someone so young passing so needlessly.

8:33 pm

(((group hugs))) all around...

8:34 pm

(((hugs)))

8:34 pm

hi champ, hi stid.

8:34 pm

oh and hi crossy

8:34 pm

hey lbd

8:34 pm

((stidmama))

8:34 pm

and molly...i need to pay attention to who's here!

8:34 pm

down to 82 earlier, want to get to 70 now, then I will go scrounge for supper.

8:35 pm

to summarize....hello everyone!!

8:35 pm

I think of people like NB as a bright light that passes quickly through this lifetime. And I'm very glad I got to experience that bright light.

8:35 pm

How's his significant other? Anyone know?

8:36 pm

no word, Champ.

8:36 pm

Hate it for him! So hard...

8:36 pm

*Quickly fixes some warm supper for Stid so she doesn't have to scrounge*

8:37 pm

ruru should know a local winery is for sale... does he want to produce his own?

8:38 pm

it's called E.B. foote winery

8:38 pm

I hope Frank has been reading the yuku page.....

8:38 pm

Hey, Ruru was on here today saying there is a possibility that he will be playing doubles as Agassi's partner.

8:38 pm

well, when he does I hope it brings him comfort.

8:38 pm

wow Molly...that's cool!

8:39 pm

babblersanonymous.yuku.com in case anyone needs that link under meet and greet I think

8:39 pm

that would be fun...

8:39 pm

Thanks for the link - my heart is so heavy. He was always so witty! I laughed out loud many times at his clever remarks. It's really hard to wrap your brain around the fact that in this day and age people can still die of something like malaria.

8:39 pm

WOW!!

8:40 pm

will it be televised molly?

8:40 pm

No clue, it was just a very brief few comments from Ruru.

8:42 pm

I had some time on Christmas day to check in here. NB was in the hospital at the time. There were some other folks here as well. It really made him happy that he had some people to chat with. That will be a Christmas memory for me always.

8:43 pm

well, I am down to 70. will be back later probably. stidkid #2 has a migraine. I just realized he needs to head out.

8:44 pm

gah. too much, too many things to keep track of. *poof*

8:44 pm

bye stiddy..((hugs))

8:44 pm

That's nice Molly. I'm sure it made him happy too.

8:44 pm

brb too

8:44 pm

8:52 pm

You never know how much your brief interaction with someone may affect your life, or theirs. A great example of why we should live in the moment and appreciate each other.

9:01 pm

howdy

9:03 pm

hi jes

9:04 pm

chocolate blueberry salad dressing for the win!

9:05 pm

back to finish...anyone else still on?

9:05 pm

for a bit hi Jilly

9:07 pm

just got here, jilly

9:07 pm

hi jes and dan2!

9:10 pm

hi dan

9:22 pm

Hi all. I'm not sure if we're 'allowed' to talk about NB's death on here after the stuff I read around the time it was announced. A sad loss, though. April, re your comment about malaria. It's a disease that still kills 781,000 people each year, mostly frail children from the sub-African continent. Mosquitoes have killed more humans than all the wars put together ever have. A mind-boggling fact really.

9:23 pm

Hi Jacula! Despite the dangers, I really think people here need to be able to share their grief on NB, especially those who have just found out...

9:23 pm

Hi Jacula. I agree with JillyJill

9:24 pm

Jillyjill - I agree.

9:25 pm

I just know when I found out I needed to share with those whom would understand...hopefully the one who took issue will understand..

9:25 pm

I think there were only 2 people who were against letting us know.

9:25 pm

One was influenced by the other

9:25 pm

Incidentally, nrkii's Dad died earlier. He'd been in hospital for a little while.

9:26 pm

Thank you for letting me know about NB.

9:26 pm

They didn't want gossip or rumours, but I have only seen love and respect expressed here

9:26 pm

So much sadness for our group.....

9:26 pm

I just saw the news on Facebook.

9:26 pm

very sad :-(

9:26 pm

sad for nrkii :(

9:26 pm

i'm sorry to hear about nrkii's dad. i hope she's doing okay.

9:27 pm

Poor Nrkki

9:27 pm

Bug - we don't do gossip or rumours here, I don't think. We just take people as we find them, either befriend them or not, and feel sorry when they go, for whatever reason.

9:27 pm

Even when death is to be expected, it still hits you like a brick in the face

9:28 pm

I agree Jacula but I work with Hospice so I see a lot of different ways people grieve.

9:28 pm

I think one individual felt the grief they were feeling was somehow more valid than ours because they knew NB personally.

9:28 pm

It really is hard to explain what we have here. Seemingly so superficial, but you sure realize the depth when something like this happens...

9:29 pm

Bug - I know.

9:29 pm

I count you all as friends or else I would not speak up

9:29 pm

Bug - the 'I know' was in response to all 3 posts you made.

9:30 pm

I really feel there is a sense of caring with most of the Babblers and some days, that is huge!

9:30 pm

Take my Dad for instance, he (the person we knew) had been gone from us for years before he physically died. His death still hit us hard, though.

9:31 pm

Thanks bugs, you said it all and said it well.

9:32 pm

Jac, sometimes I wonder how I will feel when my mother finally lets go of this world. She has Alzheimers and has no clue who we are

9:32 pm

Yes, I think we're a pretty caring, and tolerant, bunch.

9:32 pm

Sometimes I wish she would let go and be whole again and then I feel badly for wishing it....

9:33 pm

Bugs, I will never forget one couple I had as a RN in Hospice. She made him sourdough pancakes every AM, the dough kept in a small stoneware jar. When he passed she put his ashes in that jar...some family appalled...I always thought it was a great way of saying good-bye.

9:33 pm

I think it's easier because they are already gone in some ways. My dad had Alzheimers.

9:33 pm

I love that Jillyjill!

9:34 pm

Bugs - well, my Dad had that, or a form of it - Lewy Bodies Disease, as you probably know. There is relief in that they're no longer upset and confused or just suffering and dying slowly from starvation (the swallow reflex goes eventually), but losing them is still hard.

9:34 pm

People can be so creative in the ways they grieve. It never ceases to amaze me how much stronger we are than we think we are

9:34 pm

Bugs, it is hard to see your Mom fade away... ((hugs))

9:34 pm

that's a really sweet story, jilly

9:35 pm

Grieving is a very individual thing. A gentleman in my building has a wife he recently put in a nursing home because she suffers from Alzheimer's. He grieves now even though physically she is still her. My heart aches for him.

9:37 pm

I guess I've already told this Babble audience the story of when my Mum picked my Dad's ashes up from the funeral directors' and took them home in her shopping bag, popping a loaf of bread she needed on top on the way back home?

9:37 pm

Yes, I think it was easier when Dad passed because I had already said good-bye.

9:37 pm

It is hard snags. My mother is nothing like the person who raised us. She was loud, flamboyant and vital. Now she is just the shell that held her spirit. That kind of grief is hard

9:38 pm

your Mum is a practical lady Jac!

9:38 pm

I faced that possibility in my hubby this fall. Couldn't see the man I married; personality so flat. His diagnosis wasn't that, his treatment helping but still I fear....

9:38 pm

Bug - I know what you mean. My Dad was always vital, never loud but he was a wonderful Dad.

9:38 pm

It is so very hard. ........ again ....... my heart goes out to anyone suffereing a loss.

9:39 pm

aw Jilly.............

9:39 pm

thank you snags. My heart goes out as well because we have all had many losses

9:39 pm

I think it is important we support how each individual grieves and never jucge...goes back to those who were negative toward us discussing NB..

9:39 pm

Bug - well, Mum was waiting at the zebra crossing for the lights to change so she could cross the road when someone who knew both her Dad but hadn't seen them for months - they used to meet up when dog-walking in the hills - asked her how her Hubby was.

9:39 pm

When my first husband died, i nearly went insane. I finally found a site called widownet.org

9:39 pm

Jilly I am so sorry! I fear losing my dearheart so much more than losing a parent.

9:40 pm

It saved my sanity

9:40 pm

Bugsaw, you have reason to fear the death of a spouse. It is so..................

9:40 pm

All these various dementias....so tragic!

9:41 pm

snags - thanks for posting that site. I'm a divorcee now living happily 'in sin', but that site may well help others.

9:41 pm

My friend's dad has alzheimers, she describes it as slow death in degrees

9:41 pm

I made note of that site too.

9:41 pm

actually, the site is only for those that lost a spouse. sorry

9:42 pm

Anyway, back to Mum with a red plastic jar in her bag, containing Dad, and it was 'bloody heavy' she told me, with a loaf of bread atop. Oh, and the person enquiring how Dad was. Mum said she felt like opening her shopping bag and saying, 'Here's in here, actually!'

9:42 pm

but I work with Hospice and could pass it on to grieving spouses snags. I hope I am way to early to need it for me!

9:42 pm

Jacula, you live however it suits you.

9:43 pm

please do pass it on Bugs.

9:43 pm

Jac she didn't!!! I was thinking she might be tempted to but that is hilarious!

9:43 pm

The part I used is the BB2 or BB3 cant remember

9:44 pm

I will check it later snags. thanks

9:44 pm

Bug - she DID! I'd have felt the same and Dad, having the same black humour, would have found it hilarious, too.

9:44 pm

my pleasure

9:44 pm

if I try target one more time...

9:45 pm

you Mum is great Jac. I can see where you get your strength

9:45 pm

my phantom is tangent

9:45 pm

hey all

9:46 pm

Thanks, Bug. I'll tell her.

9:46 pm

Hi Stid.

9:46 pm

Ok, I give...need clue for ta6/18

9:46 pm

hey stid. Hope you are well

9:46 pm

Hi stid, how's stidkid?

9:46 pm

Jilly jill - ta6/18 = one who works leather or one who lies in the sun to make skin brown.

9:46 pm

he'll be okay. by the time we got where he was supposed to be he was feeling a lot better. his migraines tend to be fairy manageable.

9:47 pm

ahh NOW I see it..thanks jac!

9:47 pm

I am well Bugs, hope you are also.

9:47 pm

stid - 'fairy manageable' migraines? Does Tinkerbell dispel them? *grins*

9:47 pm

JillyJill - y/w.

oh my gosh jac! rofl (was reading back)

9:48 pm

I am well. Woke up to snow but by the end of the school day the sun was shining so we went for a walk by the ocean enjoyed the beauty of it all

9:48 pm

Hi Goodenough.

9:48 pm

sounds like a ne4-perfect day bugs!

9:48 pm

hey good

stid what do you do for his headaches?

9:49 pm

Bug - nothing like a walk on the shore to get your spirits up. Perhaps not an ankle paddle, cold as it is right now. But the sea breeze and the sound of the rollers is food for the soul.

9:50 pm

we give him excedrin (on doc's recommendation) and they seem to do the trick. However, I am concerned that they do seem to be happening a little more often than they used to. Might need to take him in again to be honest.

9:51 pm

that's the caffeine + acetaminophen (no NSAID)

that's what i use for mine but i never know if its ok for kids. how old is the kid?

9:52 pm

he's about 6' tall... LOL old enough for this.

9:52 pm

ahh...FW

9:52 pm

YAY jilly!!!

9:52 pm

not too challenging today...lol

9:53 pm

gh6 anybody?

and i believe it has aspirin so not good for young kids

9:53 pm

builds on the 4 dan

9:53 pm

repeat last letter

9:54 pm

no, the "migraine" one has aspirin, but the "tension headache" one doesn't -- the key is actually the caffeine which changes blood vessel diameter; the acetaminophen just handles the pain part.

9:54 pm

gh6 = a horse-drawn cab used in India.

9:54 pm

does lickety have it wrong? it's listed before the 4

9:54 pm

I am sensitive to NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen, so we avoid meds that contain them.

9:54 pm

Sounds like a man's name.

9:55 pm

dan - no idea! I didn't list today.

9:55 pm

okay...need new glasses...gH not gN..sorry dan2

9:55 pm

cool. got the gh6! thanks!

9:55 pm

hagn everyone. see you all tomorrow

9:55 pm

you too dawg!! nice seeing you again

9:55 pm

got it tx jac

9:55 pm

sweet dreams LBD

9:56 pm

Oh, the foxes are doing all their mating noises outside again! Hope they don't wake the rest of the family up!

9:56 pm

'Bye lbd.

9:56 pm

??? *wonders what mating foxes sound like -- cats? frogs? upstairs neighbors?*

9:56 pm

'gnight, dawg

9:57 pm

Well, must go and practice my music...Just so you all know...this group means so much to me...((hugs to all))

9:57 pm

stid - let's just say they're noisy.

9:57 pm

sweet dreams jilly -- enjoy your weekend!

9:57 pm

'Bye jilly. Enjoy your music.

9:58 pm

thanks stid *poof*

9:58 pm

and jac..

9:58 pm

g'night, jilly

10:00 pm

ok my last re is stumping me, anybody still around?

10:00 pm

Stid - here are all the various fox sounds http://tinyurl.com/6x7dyhc

10:00 pm

I am here but likely don't have what you need...

10:00 pm

LOL thanks Jac!

10:01 pm

i'm here, dan, but won't be of much help, i think

10:01 pm

nm got it! firewords

10:01 pm

I was mistaken about what I heard being a mating call, because it was the first in the film you will view. They must have cubs already. An early litter.

10:01 pm

YAY dan!!!

10:01 pm

you okay jes?

10:02 pm

that's interesting... we have some early signs of spring here too.

10:02 pm

how do you mean, stid? i'm good. had salad with chocolate blueberry viniagrette for dinner. hard to beat that.

10:03 pm

Last re on my list is 'viewed again', re6.18

10:03 pm

mmmm. that sounds lovely.

10:03 pm

just not doing well with the grid tonight... still have 56 words to find, and they aren't happening easily...

10:03 pm

it was. i'm making bruce add it to his recipes to bring back for repeat performances list :)

10:04 pm

I am at 48, but need to take a break soon.

10:04 pm

good idea! (adding to stand-by recipe book)

10:05 pm

he's started putting them online, if you care :)

10:05 pm

http://brainweevil.com/food/recipes

10:05 pm

hm.... thanks!

10:06 pm

oh, that steak nigiri looks nice (can't have cow... but maybe chicken?)

10:06 pm

i dunno if the chicken would flatten well...but can't hurt to try, right?

10:07 pm

exactly. can't hurt to try, and even if the looks are a bit unusual the flavor is probably going to be nice.

10:08 pm

I am going to send tom the url so he can see the pasta recipe...

10:08 pm

jes - if you want to hammer chicken flat, wrap it in cling film (saran warap) first.

10:08 pm

*wrap

10:08 pm

well, if it totally fails on texture, you will still have rice and chicken, and nothing wrong with that!

10:08 pm

bruce says it'll work fine with chicken. similar to cordon bleu only totally different.

10:09 pm

LOL similar but totally different! *grin* *waves at bruce*

10:09 pm

when is bruce going to start babbling???

10:09 pm

he babbles over my shoulder sometimes.

10:11 pm

btw you are in the grid today, "jes"

10:11 pm

i am! i must be famous :)

10:11 pm

nef's there too

10:11 pm

I hate people Babbling over my shoulder! I suppose it's because I'm a writer. We tend to like to keep our word things to ourselves until they are ready for publication. LOL

10:11 pm

or infamous. *wicked mama grin*

10:12 pm

so she is! LOL that's funny

10:12 pm

Hurshy was in yesterday's grid. Never seen my net name in the grid yet, though.

10:13 pm

Speaking of writing, how's the story going Stid?

10:13 pm

You seemed to have so many blogs going that I lost track of where it was in the end.

10:13 pm

no time for the story Jac -- maybe when I am done writing this gol-durn master's paper.

10:13 pm

please excuse me for wandering off

10:14 pm

I do that sometimes. Don't intend to be rude tjp

10:14 pm

Stid - you are forgiven.

10:14 pm

it's okay Bugs ((hugs))

10:14 pm

Bugsaw - you are forgiven, too.

10:14 pm

Heck! I feel like the Pope, doing all this forgiving.

10:15 pm

thanks. can you give me a blessing too?

10:15 pm

thanks Jac -- I will let you know when I get back to it. Last time I looked at it I started to criticize things ... and so I need a good deal of "space" and "time" to sit with it and get back in the groove.

10:15 pm

Bug - I could, but I was Christened C of E, so it might not count for you.

10:16 pm

*makes a swirly sign over Bugs, dusts her with sparkly sprinkles and blesses her for the coming days of Spring*

10:16 pm

good-hearted blessings always count, in my opinion

10:17 pm

May I please hav e a clue for re6-18 next to last re6-18? Thanks

10:17 pm

I thot you felt like the Pope?

10:17 pm

you have my blessing, for what little it's worth, bugs :)

10:17 pm

And, at heart, I am one of 'the old religion' aka Paganism. That's probably why I said, very politely, 'I don't want to be Christened, thank you very much!' when the vicar who gave me the creeps even at 4 years of age, tried to hold me over the font.

10:17 pm

thanks for all the blessings anyway. I am C of E too :)

10:18 pm

However, the holy water, and booze fumes, were forced on me.

10:18 pm

my Granny used to say "God bless it" every time I said something cute or stupid. I could never tell the difference .

10:18 pm

LOL Jac! I can just SEE you doing that!!!

10:18 pm

i think the dressing recipe from tonight will be up momentarily.

10:19 pm

stid - glad you can see it, 'cos it's what I did.

10:19 pm

good for your granny, bugs. my granny was similar -- she loved us all the same, even when we were being truly beastly

10:19 pm

cool, jes!

10:20 pm

gap - re next to thelast re - above or below?

10:20 pm

above, thanks, Jacula.

10:20 pm

re5/10 next to the very last re = to view again.

10:21 pm

re5/10 above that describes how a runner did the race again.

10:21 pm

Have that one, dear, need the re6-18 above it.

10:22 pm

gap - well that's something you use to make cheese. Re = consonant + what you use to catch a fish in.

10:22 pm

re6/18 was my last clue.

10:23 pm

Re + consonant, I meant, etc.

10:23 pm

well down to douglas adam's answer to life the universe and everything.

10:24 pm

So... I think I will depart. Bugs, I hope you have a lovely, restful weekend.

10:24 pm

(((hugs and choclits for all))) *poof*

10:24 pm

have a good night, stid

10:24 pm

Blimey, it's puring with rain outside now! I've got to take my 'old lady' shopping trolley down to the village later. I may need to don one of those plastic rainhats as well. :-(((

10:24 pm

'Bye Stid.

10:24 pm

recipe is up, stid :)

10:24 pm

bye stid. hugs to you all

10:25 pm

mmm. I see it! thanks jes! and thanks Bruce! **smiles** *repoof*

10:25 pm

46, wasn't it? The answeer to life and everything.

10:26 pm

Or even the *answer.

10:26 pm

I don't remember having a watershed moment at 46. LOL

10:27 pm

42

10:27 pm

Was it Jes? I've always been rubbish at maths.

10:27 pm

Mind you, I don't think I had a watershed moment at 42, either.

10:29 pm

Word have always been 'my thing', never numbers. Even when it comes to money, large amounts sound far nicer spelled out. LOL
