hubby got a few before giving up

2:09 am

how did you do a bridge?

2:10 am

*at

2:11 am

I don't know, 8 clear tops, only 3 zeros, hard to say

2:12 am

very nice!

2:12 am

maybe in the running, I can never tell

2:13 am

8 clear tops is pretty unusual

2:14 am

hubby does the math! he did the scoring but G took it home to enter on computer - we'll find out tomorrow

2:14 am

yep -- we expect to be in the cellar

2:14 am

really!

2:15 am

Joanne is quite a gutsy player

2:15 am

yes, but I was a real booby

2:15 am

her memory of a hand played, is amazing to me

2:16 am

she and Paul

2:16 am

well, I very carefully set up a suit, giving me a debatable score, but then got to the board and didn't use it!!!!

2:16 am

yes, but I can't imagine them playing together

2:17 am

you told me abut that mistake, but it was just the one.

2:17 am

I was making a series of them

2:17 am

ah, we all have those nights

2:17 am

but I really must get to bed now,

2:17 am

good night and good luck

2:18 am

night night!

2:18 am

I'm going too soon

2:38 am

and that's it for tonight -- 32 left -- bye bye if there's anyone he4...*poof*

3:18 am

good morning... so good to be back. Does anyone know what was the matter with the darn site yesterday?

3:19 am

Morning Sprite. DrG just said it fell over - again - same problem. Was down for 7 hours

3:20 am

yes I had to give up yesterday, no joy during the day and for the evening I had a TV date with my girl :) Ah well, today a new grid, a new chance. I guess it is to be expected that things with a daily performance fail once in a while.

3:20 am

Sorry about all the server problems lately. This morning's problem was the same one as a few days ago. The server just starts collapsing in on itself. I'm still not sure what's causing it, unfortunately. (Pasted from FB)

3:22 am

ah thank you lyn. I hope DrG can find out what is causing it, I really miss my babble fix if I cannot get it. And I bet I am not the only one ;)

3:23 am

I'll confess to being mildly disturbed. Good morning/evening to you.

3:23 am

just a thought - hope it is not that hacker back again (from a couple of years ago?)

3:23 am

Good morning Haz

3:23 am

hi Haz :) Oh lyn I really hope not!

3:25 am

I didn't know anything about hackers. Technical problems are bad enough without it being deliberate.

3:25 am

My problem was the fear that babble might be on again without me knowing so I was checking all the time.

3:28 am

:D Very aptly put. I kept checking too when I was at the 'puter. But must confess to forgetting about it once I was afk.

3:30 am

1. retan is a word. People do it every summer. 2. I am being very educational with the icon theme today!

3:34 am

I remember a student teacher in Latin trying to teach us the details of the Roman calendar. Poor man, he got very mixed up and what made it worse was that the inspector was in the class and HE had to intervene to straighten things out.

3:34 am

oh dear, the man must have felt awful.

3:35 am

He did and we felt bad for him. He was very young, I can stil visualise him with his fluffy moustache.

3:36 am

...and all the young girls hearts went pitter-patter

3:36 am

a painful memory for the rest of his career :) He must have been overpreparing the next time he had to teach about the Roman Calendar.

3:37 am

I hope it didn't put him off teaching! He was actually very good with the language side of things, it was just unfortunate that he picked that topic to teach.

3:38 am

it is a pretty complicated topic, with many changes and (for us) the setback that the year didn't start with January.

3:39 am

He could just have summed it up for us - their calendar was different. The End.

3:39 am

hahahaha

3:41 am

I remember I was delighted when I found out about it. I thought it was liberating to realise that calendars are only a kind a agreement between people and a rather arbitrary one at that. And I still find it interesting how all corrections took place and that even rather recently another one had to be made to come closer to the actual solar year.

3:41 am

I am sure I am missing some really obvious words - BBL - going to organise dinner

3:41 am

See you later, lynxxx.

3:41 am

bye lyn, have fun and enjoy your dinner

3:43 am

Didn't the French try to change things after the revolution? I know they tried to change the names of months etc but I don't think they tried to be more revolutionary than that. The people didn't like it, though and persisted with their normal names.

3:45 am

yes I believe so. Also seem to remember something about the English making fun of the french names.

3:45 am

Making fun of the French seems to go back a long way!

3:46 am

But it probably works both ways. Goodness knows what they say about us, knowing that most of the population won't understand a word.

3:46 am

it does, doesn't it!

3:48 am

oh yes, undoubtably. We have the same thing here between dutchmen and belgians. We are cheap, th4 are stupid. The jokes about both misconceptions are endless :)

3:48 am

It's just like members of a family teasing one another, I think.

3:49 am

yes I think so too. For such teasing the parties must be close enough to know a lot about eachother, but not close enough to feel like one.

3:53 am

I was at a funeral recently and at tea afterwards, my aunt by marriage made a teasing remark about 'if the Browns have any weaknesses...' and then burst out laughing when my sister and I and my uncle drew ourselves up to our full height and looked utterly indignant.

3:54 am

hahaha yes that is it exactly, isn't it. Like the Bilbo Baggins's Birthday party.

3:55 am

my condolances, btw, was it someone very close to you?

3:55 am

Apparently our timekeeping is a bit suspect. She told the story of an uncle, now dead, who used to wait until he heard the bells of the church ringing before he'd fling on his hat and hurtle down the street, running up the hill to the church.

3:56 am

oh that is priceless

3:56 am

Thanks, sprite, it was a very elderly aunt who'd had mostly a very healthy life but who was deteriorating, not suffering too much before the end, thankfully.

3:57 am

sounds like a good way and time to go, if there is such a thing.

3:58 am

Yes, she'd had a long life but her body was starting to let her down.

3:58 am

Good morning Ladies. I'm not stopping - I just wanted to check if Babble was up. Whew! Thank goodness it is. I was very upscuttled yesterday..

3:59 am

morning Soodle, yes very glad it is back too :)

3:59 am

Hello, Soodle. I know, babble is so much a part of routine it kind of sets the world adrift when it isn't available.

3:59 am

funerals are funny things. Often so sad, but when it is over and people gather for coffee or such, it can become almost indecently pleasant.

4:00 am

Not that I'm addicted, or anything. (Denial is a rivery in Egypt)

4:00 am

....river....

4:00 am

of course not addicted. Just nicely attuned to our daily rituals and routines.

4:01 am

I've always admitted to a mild attachment.

4:01 am

I like that word. 'mild'. Yes, I am willing to admit to that as well.

4:02 am

Actually, if Dr_God wanted to raise some extra cash, I'm willing to bet people would happily pay a ransom to get babble back.

4:03 am

Agreed, Haz. Its incredible small money for literally hours of entertainment.

4:03 am

absolutely. But I think he'd better not try. Because that would incite somebody to start an underground babble site right away!

4:05 am

Underground babble - played by the light of head torches.

4:05 am

clueing strictly under the rose

4:06 am

A secret Babble society... funny handshakes, code words, nods, winks,...... l love it!

4:06 am

we already have a secret babble language, ywis!

4:09 am

The Siciallian volcanoe rises in the west.....

4:09 am

:D

4:13 am

Hmm. I stayed longer than I should have. Time to go. Have a lovely day, Ladies. Poof

4:14 am

bye Soodle, have a grand day

4:14 am

Bye, Soodlebum.

4:17 am

fireflies. Deceitfully tight in some spots. But fun, of course, as ever.

4:17 am

Well done!

4:18 am

thank you, Haz. I am going too, I hope you have a nice and relaxed day.

4:18 am

You too, sprite. See you again.

Hello

4:40 am

an8 - the direction given to questioners when there is no seating plan available

early May via kosciosko?

4:40 am

as8: the remarkable backside on an insect.

You could go up the middle and take 9 hours or go the coast and take 13. if you do Coast you can stop over.

4:41 am

as8/40 - sounding like a donkey on top of an insect

we'd be looking to do several stopovers to give us time to see things

You going to Mount Kos or to Sydney proper?

by car from Mel to Syd

4:42 am

wa7 - descriptive of children who have spied a desirable fairground ride.

So sydney proper?

yes from there we fly to Cairns

is early May a good time?

Nice. May not too cold

You could drive Albury to Kos then through Canberra to Sydney. That will take at least 2 or 3 dys

we were thinking barnsdale and then up and across

sounds good what you say

We did Melbourne to Bairnsdale to Canberra to Sydney

Personally I would go Melbourne to Eden Eden to Sydney

thx for that, gotta run hagd

Ahh Eden, someone else mentioned that

4:46 am

it all sounds wonderful and very exotic!

Well ahave a look at Google maps. Eden is lovely

4:46 am

does eden live up to its name?

Depends if you want Mountains or Coast.

thx again ....poof

I'm off

Ruby it can be

4:49 am

half, yay! It soulnds like you have everything in Australia -- the country is so big, that the variety is stunning from what I read

It is fantastic. One way is Mountain the other is Coast

4:50 am

and desert?

Actually yes but that is a massive dog leg

4:51 am

when you take car trips like that, do you see a lot of wildlife every time you stop?

4:51 am

(massive dogs? hahah)

No goose you have to go way left then way right

4:52 am

hahah

4:53 am

this place has barely anything wild left unless you go way up in the mountains and then there are wild boar and mountain goats

You can but it depends on the time of day. It really isn't sensible to drive at dawn or dusk. The Kangaroos can and do leap out of no were and the Emus can be suicidal feather dusters

4:53 am

do emus attack cars the way ostriches do?

Emus are fairly brain dead

I don't know about Ostriches

4:56 am

they are very nasty and huge!

4:56 am

must go and pacify angry DH, for a change

4:57 am

6:28 am

she brings back to u...drops at ur feet..u throw again...

6:28 am

pretty hillarious really

6:28 am

That is really sweet.

6:29 am

not so sweet when she does it at 3 am...and if u ignore her she pounces on u

6:29 am

And digs her needle nails slightly into your skin..lol

that as the food served by one of the contenders on america's next great restaurant. along with a tater tot casserole. :/

9:43 am

god lord.maybe i should teach them my deep fried,battered sausage wraped bacon recipie

9:44 am

thing will stop yer heart just looking at it

9:45 am

oh, crossy-I never took you for one to batter sausage--lol!

crossy is a batterer!

try this instead, it is very good.

9:46 am

tater tot casserole does not sound appealing (and I speak as one who will eat, and enjoy, almost anything)

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Fre nch-Toast-2/Detail.aspx?src=etaf

9:46 am

i do not eat it often,i hear of americans deep frying battered oreo cookies and snickers bars and i feel left behind;)

9:47 am

crossy does not like tater tots;/

imagine thinking someone will pay for it. the concept as southen comfort food. i have tasted both cross the snickers is ok but neither is really something i would eat again

9:48 am

if i had a wa**** and pl disregard for my health,i would eat it

9:48 am

10:08 am

dont get the elmer fudd clue crossy

10:08 am

lovely drawing sue

10:09 am

I thought it was a great clue, crossy - kallia, elmer fudd has a lisp so he pronounces r's as w's

10:09 am

fudd is a great fallback when you cannot clue any other way

10:09 am

ah forgot that ! I see now

10:10 am

good morning everyone

10:11 am

scrabby and i got into a fudd-speak clueathon last year and it was so fun it became epic,clued half the grid in fudd-speak

lol,seems the flip people finished this in about 30 minutes ...android freaks they are lol;)

10:15 am

how many words today ?

10:15 am

but we love them

10:15 am

Just read your story uusue. I had to laugh about your stepmother. My mother in law-in her 80's- decided that her long lost husband- and older - must be dead so applied for a widows pension. Next thing she knew she got divorce papers, not only was he not dead but he planned to marry a 29 year old!!

10:15 am

yea well they don't chat do they?

10:16 am

here,to apply for that pension,you must have the death certificate..avoids that issue;)

yes

10:17 am

hi, deeha - it is a complicated situation and does have its funny moments although I don't think my stepmother wants to marry anybody else (and my father certainly doesn't!). At ages 85 and 89 the whole thing seems pointless to me. Sigh. (Of course, I've been divorced three times so can't really be very critical!!)

10:17 am

I just love this CD...Long Player, Late Bloomer it's called..had never heard him before

10:18 am

wife figured out last year that i can make her more money per month by being dead then alice..crossy checks the brakes on the car every day now....

10:18 am

alive

10:18 am

thought you were cross dressing then crossy :)

10:18 am

I frequently point out to my SO that I am worth a lot more dead than alive; so far he hasn't taken me up on it :-)

10:19 am

I used to be worth more dead than alive - in gold fillings-sadly most of the teeth are now gone along with the fillings!!

10:20 am

ewer

10:20 am

oops sorry

10:20 am

ty deeha

10:20 am

pb deeha

10:20 am

i like your clues best;)

10:20 am

10:21 am

I have always been known as being subtle

10:21 am

wife says i am as subtle as a gas explosion

10:21 am

so again how many words please and thank you

10:22 am

10:28 am

mmm..there is an ant doing the backstroke in my cuppa darjeeling tea...:((

10:31 am

te5= what we eat with add a vowel for what makes babbies cranky at around 3 months

fruittart - am referring to the pic of cake in your bio, not the one as icon

10:33 am

have you got the sa 8 crossy

10:34 am

tespooncolic? trying to parse crossy's clue...

10:34 am

Haz gave a wonderful clue for it earlier

10:34 am

ok, nm, I got it, word I already had :-)

This makes babies fussy around 8 months, not 3 - so not colic. Crossy's kid must be fantastically advanced.

10:35 am

he is 17 now,give me a break on remembering that far back!

10:35 am

makes mom fussy, too, if baby is nursing (voice of experience here)

oh, did i miss haz

10:36 am

10:53 am

11:08 am

11:12 am

11:13 am

Hi, jmc!

11:13 am

11:15 am

1:58 pm

Hello, stid

1:58 pm

hey BR. hope you are well and the weather at your place is clement? ours is soggy...

1:59 pm

cross - i have a question about the folding#home. Can i set it so it opens automatically when i start the computer or do i need to go in and open it?

1:59 pm

Melting here.

1:59 pm

it actually sets itself automatically to do the folding, teach -- a caution -- even fast machines can bog down a bit with the folding running.

2:00 pm

but do you have to open the program when you start your computer each time

2:00 pm

melting should be a positive sign, I hope. We have daffodils up in our yard, and tulips are showing their green leaves now. I am ready for things to dry out enough to work the actual soil.

2:00 pm

hi all.can i have a clue for the sa510 and sa6,18 please

2:01 pm

that's what I meant teach -- it assumes you want it to start automatically when you download it.

2:01 pm

hey lilliann.

2:01 pm

hi stid

2:01 pm

at least it has on the two computers I installed it on.

2:01 pm

sa*** domingo; pl

2:01 pm

the sa 5/10 that I have is spanish or italian for saint, male version

2:02 pm

2:02 pm

after i turn on my computer i have to go in to the list of programs and click on folding to get the icon to appear

2:02 pm

thanks stid

2:02 pm

i thought i'd already put that in...obviously not!!

2:03 pm

thanks br but i wouldn't have got your clue :(

2:03 pm

having the icon up isn't necessary for the program to run, I think. look in the task manager to see what programs are running.

2:03 pm

fireworks!!

2:03 pm

YAY lilliann!

3:17 pm

hey there.. new here.. what a cool game

3:17 pm

can u guys explain hints? for example- ta 5/18 - what would that mean?

3:18 pm

hi, lbuxx! Welcome!

3:18 pm

Wlcome lbuxx. Carefdul, it's addicting

3:18 pm

lbuxx, that's a word that begins with the letters ta, has 5 letters, and 18 total points.

3:18 pm

Right click "Lickety's Babble Clues" at the bottom and open in a new tab...

3:19 pm

for 4-letter words, add up the points; for 5 letters, multiply tile points by 2; for 6 letters multiply by 3; and so forth.

3:19 pm

thanks for the welcomes and the explanation!

3:19 pm

allowable words are found in a dictionary called enable (apparently...). Minimum word length is 4 letters.

3:20 pm

ibuxx - welcome to babble

3:21 pm

you will get tile stats (in the little squares below the puzzle) and word stats for 2 weeks; after that you will need to upgrade to pro to keep them. Upgrading is a one-time $14.95 fee, and also gets you a profile with a little icon and a flag (if you want it) - you can see that many of us have these

3:21 pm

but you are always welcome to continue playing in any case, not everyone upgrades (or can afford to do so).

3:22 pm

hmm.. on tile stats mine is showing A 0/2 but I've already found 3 words that begin with A..

3:22 pm

Right, those words came from the central A.

3:22 pm

you found words starting with the OTHER "A"

3:22 pm

there are two A['s today

3:22 pm

uusue, I just read most of your log . Sounds terribly familiar. I took a fall down 12 steps on Jan 27, one week in hospital, three weeks in rehab, this week the home care ends, but I am OK. My husband , age 82 cooks and does dishes. OUr daughter, 32 finished her MA at UNLV and moved back home three weeks ago. Things are workign out;

3:22 pm

oooohhh

3:23 pm

Glad to hear you are doing well, inge! It helps a lot to have a spouse, children, and friends :-)

3:25 pm

lbuxx, if a word can come from more than one tile (which is possible in some grids) it counts from topmost and leftmost first.

3:25 pm

thanks guys!

3:27 pm

te 5/10 ????

3:28 pm

Put a vowel on the end of the te4/4 before it.

Amen. It's usually paired with words such as "dumb"

4:36 pm

No, we have it the US, lynxxx

4:48 pm

Maybe one of those soft rubber muzzles would stop him eating them when he is outside?

4:48 pm

up north we once had a shad fly invasion(fish flys) they covered every wall,ever roof,every car,they only live for a day or 3 but it took us a week to scrape them off of everything!

4:49 pm

OUCH!

4:49 pm

the cicadas last 4-6 weeks and end up in PILES all over the place

4:49 pm

I know. We will get them too.

4:49 pm

you can keep them

4:49 pm

last time around the news was full of stories about outdoor wedding disasters -- ya know they land on everything and every one

4:49 pm

and people furious 'cause they landed on freshly painted houses and stuck there

4:50 pm

(kudzu)

4:51 pm

4:52 pm

I saw a show on that once - where they showed the herd of goats they were using to eat it

4:53 pm

goats are a good solution

4:53 pm

thats the one!

4:53 pm

they use it under bridges and around highways all there goats

4:54 pm

we had goats once,3 of them,on 5 acres,took them just one summer to eat us into a dust bowl

4:54 pm

would seem a 'safe' solution (raher than insects or sprays - god forbid)

4:55 pm

apparently there are farmers who make good money hirring out their goat herds

4:55 pm

crossy LOL

4:55 pm

but a good idea for those vines

4:56 pm

*hiring

4:56 pm

of course, MOST of the goats in Tennessee are raised for meat -- sold in Hispanic groceries

4:58 pm

My husband likes and buys goat meat occasionally, not my cup of tea. Now goat cheese! yummmmm

4:58 pm

i find goat cheese(and milk) has a funny aftertaste

4:58 pm

exactly, lynxxx --- wish some folks would make local goat cheese -- yummers!!

4:58 pm

Mmmmmm...goat cheese. I hope that's in the penalty box today.

4:58 pm

back . . . jmc, it's all over the Tennessee news today -- 13 yr cicadas arriving in May --- ugh

5:12 pm

when my husband was still alive we were hit with the 13 year and the 7 year in the same year

5:13 pm

after he died and i was going through some papers i found a file titled "cicadas"

5:13 pm

sometimes winter can be a good thing;) as much as we get tired of the snow and cold

5:13 pm

unfortunately I live in an older area where they arrive in a BIG WAY

5:13 pm

guess what was in it?

5:13 pm

cicadas?

5:13 pm

a dead cicada!

5:14 pm

yep! lol he was very literal minded

5:15 pm

ooo i got the babysitting one

5:15 pm

ty all xxx

5:16 pm

yw

5:16 pm

my daughter camped in Quebec last June and was NOT happy about the constant flies . . .

5:18 pm

yes indeed une,when in the bush during horse fly and deer fly season,there are a few basic rules...do not shower the day before you go in,no perfume,aftershave or deoderant,no yellow or bright colours (white is preferrable)

5:18 pm

no soaps etc

5:19 pm

sounds like it is easier to stay home (and would smell nicer too)

5:19 pm

lol

5:19 pm

we had to take a fella out of the bush one summer all covered in blood drom the deer flys,cause he decided to have a nice shave and some aftershave before going in

5:20 pm

from

5:20 pm

how awful!

5:20 pm

just do not go in july and august

5:20 pm

i don't mind tromping around in the woods but i now demand a bed to sleep in

5:20 pm

That is probably the problem with the moose, they insist on showering and putting those yellow jackets on

5:20 pm

take him out? he lost blood himself?

5:20 pm

sa8 please xxx

5:21 pm

5:23 pm

Congrats Une

5:23 pm

up north when fishing in labrador etc during the summer(this will sound bad) byt many of the locals will have their dog in the front of the boat so the flys and mosquitos will head that way

5:26 pm

a watch isnt logically named - you watch it, it doesnt watch you

5:26 pm

it puts things on a even plane

5:26 pm

it makes a flat plane on a piece of wood

5:27 pm

but you watch it

5:27 pm

it is also a time piece

5:27 pm

a watch is a watch if you have the duty on board long ago you had the watch

5:27 pm

5:28 pm

that is quibbling and you know it! lol

5:28 pm

language is such fun;))

5:28 pm

it is isn't it?

5:29 pm

7:32 pm

The deficiency of the month seems to be Vitamin D. I swear everyone I know is telling me they are taking supplements, as recommended from their doctor.

7:33 pm

yes. It makes you wonder, doesn't it?

7:33 pm

Well now that we are all saving daylight, there will be even less Vitamin D for us.

7:34 pm

if you can get outside for 15 minutes a day and expose your face, arms and lower legs to the sunlight; you won't be deficient

7:36 pm

I've heard that Nef. And yet, a friend of mine, whose husband works outside all day long, told me that his latest blood test shows that he is Vitamin D deficient. It does make me wonder.

7:37 pm

is he wearing heavy clothes (ie: in construction) or is he wearing sun block or sunglasses?

7:38 pm

sun tan lotion /sun block and sunglasses really cut down on vitamin D production in our bodies

7:40 pm

Never thought to ask that Nef. Could be.

time ot play Bagel! (hi all)

7:51 pm

hi Gwenn

7:51 pm

oooh gwen's updated her daleck!

7:52 pm

very nice. I wish I could watch a whole show without getting too scared by them! ;-)

like they say in the IMAX theater. you are sitting in a chair. you are not moving.

or, for doctor who, you are sitting in your living room. the daleks are not in your house.

7:54 pm

Are you SURE about that, Gwen?

8-D

7:55 pm

you just have to whack the eye stem and they can't see you!

bein' scared is part of the fun, IMO

yeah, or sneak up behind and push 'em down an elevator shaft

7:56 pm

(I used to do calligraphy, it's a writing style to me)

8:02 pm

THANK YOU Gwen! :-)

well, technically it's not a writing style or a typeface, it's a set of type (pick, pick!)

(deep sweeping bow)

8:04 pm

Good for you, Gwen! I thought it was something a person gets baptized in! ;-)

well, yeah, there's that meaning as well . . .

same root as fountain, i believe . . .

9:49 pm

hi herin

I have 10 min left of my lunch breach

9:50 pm

hi herin. How's the working gal doing?

9:50 pm

hi herin

Really good. At my desk at the moment eating sushi

Hi Jess

9:51 pm

and jmc, hi to you too (I think I missed you)

9:51 pm

i felt your silent hello nef

9:51 pm

:-)

9:52 pm

carry out sushi--cool

Bento box of sushi better

9:53 pm

sounds delishious!

I should be getting my glasses in the next 2 days thank goodness. Now I need a track pad under my space bar and I will be happy

9:54 pm

new glasses?

9:54 pm

Bento boxes -- I've never seen one. Are they disposable or do you take it back? (I've seen pictures, I just don't know about them)

9:54 pm

i think the ones moms make you take back home like a lunch box

Disposable. I broke my other ones last week. held together with tape at the moment

9:55 pm

hi, all! back again, maybe to finish???

9:55 pm

bummer if i don't have glasses i can't see well enough to work

9:55 pm

hi uu!

Hi uu

9:55 pm

get'r dunne

9:55 pm

hullo, uusue

JM then the nice people would have given them to you as soon as possible. Being only slightly needing them (without I get a head ache) is not qualification for an emergancy

9:56 pm

40 left...

Yes I really did need to spend $350 on 2 new pairs (plus the cat bills for his annual vacines at his vet $120)

9:56 pm

me either! My one lens kept falling out, so I took super glue to it. Bad mistake: if you can't see without glasses, don't try to repair them with super glue! (I have a permanent smear in the upper left lens now)

9:56 pm

go uu go

9:56 pm

evening all

9:57 pm

yikes herin good thing you are working now!

9:57 pm

hi dan

hi Dan

9:57 pm

hah. yeah, make someone else fix them, nef!

9:57 pm

hi dan

9:57 pm

hi, dan!

9:57 pm

i have a spare broken pair i wear to fix broken glasses if that makes sense

JM I know. I think I would have cried. Pandora has to go to the vet next month for her shots then to the other vet for her claws to be trimmed. Dr Roach can't clip her claws

9:58 pm

hi dan2!

9:58 pm

you are all done with school now yes?

Yes my vets name is Dr Roach

9:58 pm

can't clip her claws? why not?

Yes I am done with school. I got a High Distinction average.

9:59 pm

I was alone at home at the time; who knows where my old pair were (I think DH gave them away to the Lion's Club); but I couldn't not have glasses to see

9:59 pm

Hi, jes and herin

Jess because my cat is a moody little cow and really doesn't like male vets.

9:59 pm

uu i was taught that joke as the jewish guy who got rich and bought an elephant

9:59 pm

hi jellen

9:59 pm

Hi all. Well done on finishing your course and getting a job, Herin.

Hi Jellen. Sorry I haven't said hi to you on FB been busy

9:59 pm

so why not get the vet who can do her claws to do the vaccines also?

9:59 pm

save a trip?

10:00 pm

how are things going? haven't seen you in a while

10:00 pm

cute, jmc :-)

10:00 pm

Re Herin's cat - I agree, Jess.

Because she has always been to Dr Roach, the other is more of an emergancy

10:00 pm

and hi, jellen!

10:01 pm

hi uusue. How's your Dad doing?

10:01 pm

Hi, uusue

O and also Dr Roach has a small clinic and not too many scary Dogs when we are there

10:01 pm

Dr. Roach could sedate her to clip her claws. I used to manage to clip one claw at a time on my moody female cat. They all get done in the end, though.

10:02 pm

he's doing great, nef! I have a few more updates in my profile.

Jac Hi. I just have to bath her and I will see if I can. We have new clippers. Lucius is too squirmy and big and awkward

10:03 pm

try having someone else pet their head/rub ears. i've got one cat that wigs right the eff out if you try to pin her down, but will let me do her nails just fine if bruce scratches her ears for it.

10:03 pm

I've never needed to clip 'Hunter' cat's claws - he does them himself, not only on the clawing post we put for him in the garden, but on my window box, my sun lounger and any other wooden structure he can ruin and shred.:-(

10:03 pm

thanks, uusue

Awww Jess. I best get back to work

10:04 pm

have fun

10:04 pm

see you later herin

10:04 pm

10:04 pm

See you later, Herin.

10:04 pm

thanks for sharing lunch

OK Back tonight later. Stuff to do chair to sort out (silly office chair)

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

'Hunter' cat, aka Tiggsey, is no 'kitty'. He's a wannabe tiger.
