babble rabble I've been waiting for you

2:19 am

I saw that possum again

2:19 am

it was bigger

2:19 am

Hello, west. Oh no. So sorry.

2:20 am

hello. I yelled at it

2:20 am

I hope it was not in the garage.

2:20 am

it was

2:21 am

stuck it's beady eyed little head out the door and went back inside

2:21 am

ewww ewww ewww

2:22 am

You might need to hire someone to get it out of there take it far away?

2:22 am

I think so

2:23 am

I had been feeding a stray cat every night..he'd see me and head for the garage and I'd give him food now I don't want to go in there

2:23 am

Taking up residence in the garage is now good for the possum or or you.

2:23 am

hope it doesn't have babies

2:23 am

not* .. can't type without a bunch of typos

2:24 am

I knew what you meant

2:24 am

have any of those horrible storms reached up where you are?

2:26 am

I am in North Dakota ... the temps have been quite a bit below normal .... the water in the Red River is receding .. deminishing the threat of flooding ... no tornadoes like in NC, Ark and Tennessee

2:28 am

glad to hear the river is receding. tornadoes must be among the scariest weather..no warning to speak of

2:28 am

good morning everybody

2:29 am

My computer is acting up and driving me crazy. I can't see what I type and can't get into facebook

2:29 am

hello ruby

2:29 am

I have seen many funnels and the aftermath of a tornado touching down .... but fortunately have not been directly effected by one.

2:29 am

Hello, ruby.

2:29 am

I have not seen nor do I wish to

2:30 am

except in The wizard of Oz

2:31 am

I keep seeing Spiro in the grid

2:31 am

hello westford and BR! When I lived in Illinois, there were tornado warnings and green skies, but I never went through one, happily

2:32 am

those green skies must be beautiful as well as frightening

2:32 am

ruby you are a world traveler

2:32 am

bore da - good morning

2:33 am

hi glan

2:33 am

no, just old!

2:33 am

good morning, "more than good enough"

2:33 am

sunshine has all gone - grey sky here

2:34 am

oh too bad I want sunshine and flowers for the wedding

2:34 am

how are you doing, glanta?

2:34 am

wedding?

2:34 am

even though it will be night here

2:34 am

oh haven't you heard...Prince William is getting married.

2:34 am

we have sunshine and flowers but need rain. If it doesn't rain soon, they are going to impose water restrictions

2:34 am

i am fine - been cleaning the house this morning as the lady who looked at it a couple of weeks ago is coming back with her man in tow..

2:35 am

oh, THAT wedding!

2:35 am

yes lol

2:35 am

are you selling your house glan?

2:35 am

yes i am - it is beautiful but it has to go

2:36 am

that's too bad and getting it ready to show must be a PITA

2:36 am

yes it is! there are still some small DIY jobs outstanding and there are lots of nettles in the garden LOL

2:37 am

but those are the jobs for the weekend

2:37 am

maybe it'll snow and cover them up

2:37 am

don't joke about snow - we've had it in May before now

2:37 am

see?

2:38 am

i am struggling with the ac7/32 - any hints?

2:38 am

weather has been crazy all over

2:38 am

we had no snow all winter except for 4 ft in December. Unseasonably warm winter, very weird

2:38 am

don't have it yet, sorry

2:38 am

i keep wanting to put acetone in!

2:38 am

ac7 - run together a maple and a fragrant garden flower.

2:39 am

that would do it glan

2:39 am

ty Haz

2:39 am

You're welcome - good morning/evening all.

2:39 am

hello haz

2:40 am

and thank you

2:40 am

No problem.

2:41 am

ruby do you have hose pipe bans in France?

2:42 am

I don't know what those are? We are in a little village and are about to sod the lawn which will all die if we can't water!

2:43 am

I have a friend in Surrey and she said when they have to conserve water the authorities fly over in helicopters and fine people whose lawns are too green

2:44 am

I'll just say we're using Evian....hahah...after all this is the land of "Let them eat cake!"

2:44 am

we're thinking of sod as well

2:44 am

thankfully we don't get that problem in Wales - we get about 25-30 inches of rain a year here

2:45 am

are lawn is hopeless, so we're only sodding one small section

2:45 am

we usually get the right amount but not this year!

2:45 am

we're putting in a double patio this year and have to get the entire yard graded

2:45 am

a nice surprise is that the tall alliums have reseeded and I have about 20 flowers at the moment

2:45 am

four feet of snow is a little much

2:46 am

with what are you paving the pation, westford?

2:46 am

i love alliums

2:46 am

how nice !

2:46 am

brick

2:46 am

but then we never had another inch. The ski resorts were dying

2:46 am

my tulips finally bloomed the day after Easter

2:46 am

I love brick patios

2:47 am

I can imagine. Do they make snow?

2:47 am

mine started to bloom in early february and I still have about 10 (in a sheltered spot)

2:47 am

yes, but then it warmed up every afternoon. It was evidently a mess, but I don't ski any more

2:47 am

everything is late this year

2:47 am

here it's all early, I even have roses opening

2:48 am

the peonies started to emerge in early February, but they are just now forming buds, so they'll be fine

2:48 am

they are sooo beautiful

2:49 am

and the strawberry plants have tripled since last year when I put them in and I've made little "dresses" to prevent the slugs from eating the berries

2:49 am

how do you get them on the slugs?

2:50 am

no, I put the little plastic dresses under the flowers, to keep the nascient fruit from being in the dirt. I'm not sure it will work, but last year I didn't get one uneaten berry

2:51 am

slugs are my least favorite creatures

2:51 am

this is all a grand experiment as it's my first garden

2:52 am

this year was strange for us as well - we had a very cold december and now the plant seem to be galloping into summer - its quite a mix - i have tulips, bluebells peonies and roses out at the moment

2:52 am

will you put up jam?

2:52 am

i used to go and kill slugs for ten minutes every morning and evening in spring and summer

2:52 am

but now i have the wildlife pond, the frogs take care of them for me

2:52 am

what kills them glan

2:52 am

they are disgusting, but I only mind them when they eat stuff or arrive in large numbers. Then they look like a creeping poop army

2:53 am

and hello Kaz your garden sounds blooming loverly

2:53 am

we used slug pellets on the allotment but i wont in the garden because of the birds

2:53 am

my peonies aren't out but my primroses and hellebores are and some clematis is just about to flower

2:53 am

my garden is a jungle.

2:53 am

yes, I always make currant and blackberry jelly, plum jam from the little yellow ones (mirabelles) and eat the figs when they survive the spring.

2:53 am

a very sharp knife kills slugs very effectively - i don't use chemicals in my gardn

2:54 am

we have so many squirrels we never know where our flowers will come up next

2:54 am

oops we dont do grass and only cut it when the neighbours start to give us hard stares as they walk past

2:54 am

hello kazzer! If I don't remove some weeds every day, they will take over, first the garden, then probably the whole house

2:54 am

any help with the ca6s?

2:54 am

we don't use any pesticides either, because of the dogs

2:54 am

we might be attacking it today

2:54 am

i ca 6 is noise crows make

2:54 am

ca6 - combines a feline with a charged particle.

2:54 am

I have a holiday minus the first two letters

2:55 am

ca6/39 - the sound of blackbirds

2:55 am

my husband insists on having a lawn; I would be content with creeping thyme and other plants that don't have to be cut. But when it gets too long, ticks arrive

2:55 am

TY all - i even had the bird call but not with the suffix

2:55 am

I have a picture of Kaz crawling through the garden with a knife in her teeth

2:55 am

ty haz

2:56 am

and a salt shaker in her hand

2:56 am

that is a cruel way to kil slugs - they explode and its messy

2:56 am

are dishes of beer good too?

2:57 am

I don't kill them, just wish them away

2:57 am

beer is good

2:57 am

exploding slugs oh

2:57 am

but then you have to throw away the resulting mess

2:57 am

you might not be far off West - beer is good and the birds like the dead slugs as well

2:57 am

we also have a lot of snails and lizards, but I don't mind sharing with the snails (which are very pretty) and I think the lizards eat insects

2:57 am

knives are better - their friends come to eat the bodies and you can kill them too LOL

2:57 am

I would have to drink the beer to knife the slugs eeewwww

2:58 am

snails are a pain because they eat my hostas so i still hunt them daily

2:58 am

that is interesting about the birds eating slugs. We have a huge bird population because husband feeds them twice a day

2:59 am

I wanted a vegetable garden this year but now I'm not so sure

2:59 am

yep snails is as bad as slugs - but there are some slugs that eat other slugs - they are big yellow ones

2:59 am

they eat my hostas and tulip leaves

2:59 am

i have a vegetable garden

2:59 am

thanks for sharing that kazzer! here they are about 4" long and brown

2:59 am

cauliflowers, broccoli, cabbages, broad beans, spinach, lettuce and chard and mangetout are all coming long nicely

2:59 am

are the nettles uninvited?

3:00 am

the nettles keep re-appearig but thye are a sign of good soil

3:00 am

oh glan that sounds wonderful

3:00 am

I think people eat nettles, but I can't imagine how they pick them

3:00 am

I am only growing spuds this year in a couple of those special bags this year - too much to do elsewhere this year

3:00 am

and you can make a lovely soup form the young leaves at this time of year but you need rubber gloves to pick them LOL

3:00 am

nettles are good - you need to keep some for the butterflies

3:00 am

ah, husband is back with groceries. See you later

3:00 am

i also make nettle tea - just a few leaves in boiling wtaer

3:01 am

nettles are full of iron

3:01 am

cya ruby

3:01 am

bye ruby nice to see you again

3:01 am

oh well, 37 left but i must go and earn some money to pay the bills, may see you tonight

3:01 am

I don't think we have them here

3:01 am

3:02 am

3:03 am

no nettles dont have thons - they have little hairs that irritate you but apparantly there is a techique for eating them.

3:03 am

I hope never to acquire that lol

3:04 am

3:04 am

are they mostly men?

3:05 am

yes but there are some ladies

3:05 am

they report it sometimes on the local news and it makes your mouth black

3:06 am

what does the tea taste like ?

3:06 am

does it have a licorice flavor?

3:07 am

4:16 am

4:17 am

4:17 am

sh8 - behaving in unacceptable Shakespeare wife fashion?

4:17 am

Hello, sprite.

4:18 am

good clues for the 8s haz

4:18 am

Thank you, Kazzer.

4:19 am

swingy

4:19 am

oops sorry keep forgetting where i am off to the pb in search of jammy donuts

4:19 am

I would have expected shecat to work

4:20 am

Your hands will get too sticky.

4:20 am

ty what about the second re8 please

4:21 am

I think Haz clued them all

4:21 am

cool. same as the first save for one vowel - think farmer and distribution of seeds.

4:22 am

thanks haz

4:22 am

sorry and sprite

4:22 am

the construction workers at my neighbours' are breaking through the outer wall today. I had planned to be away, but am ill. You wouldn't believe the noise!

4:22 am

No amount of ear plugging will do any good because you'll have the vibration as well.

4:24 am

totally true. The only thing that I am enjoying so far is the complete lack of fear or worry from Terra. He just looked at me twice, didn't register any reaction from me and relaxed back, not giving it any more attention.

4:24 am

Your house will survive although it probably seems it's going to fall down, your nerves are a different matter.

4:25 am

Good for Terra! Now, if only you could channel some of that calm, you'd be set up. If you could bottle it, you'd be rich.

4:25 am

yeah, bad day for nerves. But as the man said, this too shall pass. And nothing like babble and Babblers to take my mind of things :)

4:26 am

It's a nice grid, though not particularly big.

4:26 am

i am enjoying it today - just 2 left now

4:26 am

must have reached this size just because of the gerund ending. It is rather tight in some places.

4:27 am

Yes, the ending is well represented.

4:27 am

go Kazzer goooo

4:28 am

my real name is in the grid. Cass (from Cassandra)

4:29 am

So it is.

4:31 am

thats it - fireworks for me got to go on postie watch - expecting an exciing delivery - hub bought me a camera - 30 x optical zoom

4:32 am

wtg Kazz and have a lot of fun with the new toy. I hope it arrives soon!

4:32 am

All I understand is 'camera' and 'exciting' - hope it comes and that you enjoy it!

4:32 am

i will let you know - will prob post some examples on flickr

4:33 am

oh please do. I am not much of a photographer myself but I enjoy good pictures.

4:34 am

well he one i currently have has a 10x optical zoom. this will mean that i should be able to get good photos of little birds that currently look like dots in the photo

4:34 am

see you later

4:34 am

love the way your profile text looks now, Haz. And the contents are just great.

4:34 am

Bye, Kazzer, see you later.

4:35 am

I retyped it, sprite and am happy to get rid of the symbols.

4:36 am

much easier to read now. I promise to never say never mind again!

4:36 am

I'm hoping people realise the 'never mind' is just in jest. It can be frustrating if you've just typed a clue!

4:37 am

as long as they remember to read it with tongue-in-cheek, they should be fi4. I love the text and you know how touchy I can be.

4:38 am

It's meant in lighthearted fashion, definitely.

4:38 am

hi everyone

4:38 am

hi Andree :D

4:38 am

Hello, Andree.

4:41 am

I hope you all had a nice easter break

4:41 am

I love the part about saying please when asking for a clue. I sort of shut down when I see a post just blurting: "fi4 ?????????"

4:42 am

Yes - we've had really good weather here and husband was off for a few days so we're all relaxed.

4:42 am

mwah yes, easter was ok. Ish. The break part would be the nervous breakdown from the noise from the neighbours now, grin.

4:43 am

as i am the one renovating its my neighbours who have to listen to the awful noises

4:44 am

Think of the poor builders as well. How do they put up with the noise all the time?

4:45 am

if they don't have ptsd or similar, they should be ok, though it is hard on anyone's nerves. Also on the people in the house that is renovated! But I can proudly say I am handling it reasonably well. So far I haven't lost myself in a panic attack, I just get immensely tired.

4:45 am

hah! Silly Haz. They cope by being louder than the noise they make!

4:46 am

mine wear ear muffs

4:46 am

I just wonder how much noise the ear defenders cut out?

4:48 am

enough to keep their hearing intact, but no earplugs or whatever else can keep out all the noise. Part of noise is transported through the skull. Hm, would there be a market for Eskimo Earsavers Hats?

4:50 am

When is the work scheduled to finish, sprite?

4:51 am

no exact date given, as is to be expected with construction workers. But this is week 3 and they said it would take about 6 weeks in total.

4:51 am

You can usually add on a week or two. Builders in Britain are hopelessly optimistic and I assume they're the same with you.

4:53 am

oh yes. It always takes longer than they say. The neighbours hope it will be finished before Summer break. I hope so too, but fear it will take up part of the vacation time.

4:53 am

Maybe once all the destructive part is done things will be less intrusive.

4:54 am

Anyway, just realised the time. I must be off. Enjoy the grid and I hope you continue to cope with the noise. Bye for now!

4:55 am

yes I think so too. Today they are in our garden, that is freaking me out. But once all the outside work is done, it won't be as bad. The only other really bad day will be when they'll remove the tiles from the floor.

4:55 am

bye for now, Haz, and have a lovely day.

4:55 am

bye haz

4:55 am

Bye! *gone*

4:59 am

ta cs

5:00 am

Sorry wrong box ;o(

5:01 am

lol, hi Norma

5:01 am

Hi sprite

5:01 am

hello my dear friends!

5:02 am

Hello Trif

5:02 am

Triffles! *hugs* So great to see you. How've you been?

5:02 am

just fine ma'am. sounds like its all pistons firing at yours!

5:03 am

yeah it is incredibly noisy. I could do with a less interesting life for a while, actually ;)

5:04 am

I remember well. when we bought our house it was a two bedroom one level ranch. now it's a four bedroom, two level colonial with two additional bathrooms. fun times

5:05 am

hi trif

5:05 am

andree! how wonderful!

5:05 am

oh, hey -- you live in sydney, yes?

5:06 am

at least the neighbours will have a roomier house once it is done. All I will have is deafness and aggression, lol.

5:06 am

LOL

5:06 am

herin! hi sweetie

hey

5:06 am

Hi herin

5:07 am

hi lady :)

5:07 am

I have moved about an hour and a half from sydney to the central coast

Howdy and hugs back

5:07 am

hi herin

HOwdy back

5:07 am

Hi Andree

5:07 am

hmmm. was going to beg a favor, but fear it would be too much to ask at that distance.

5:08 am

Nice of me, innit? have not seen you in a dog's age, and right away I start in with the favors....LOL!

5:08 am

must love and leave you, I have fireflies and I am going to cuddle my sweet Terra. *hugs* to you, dear babble friends.

well I did it

Loves Sprite

5:08 am

Take care sprite

5:08 am

hugs back sprite!

5:08 am

i am in syney at least once a week so ask away

5:08 am

and what are you up to, herin?

5:09 am

did what herin

Well I dropped a Hi to a very old friend and I am needing to formulate a polite you suck to my ex

5:10 am

Andree, it looks like my daughter might be spending part of the school year next year in Perth. due to the incredible distance she would have to fly alone (gulp!) I have someone to see she gets on the right plane in LA, but no one to make sure she makes the transfer in Sydney okay. Would that be something you could see yourself helping with?

5:11 am

what date trif

5:12 am

silly question, you probably don't have one

5:14 am

sometime next February, I think

5:14 am

no need to commit to doing it now! just sort of casting a net, as it were

5:15 am

I just put my email address on my profile

5:17 am

hmmm, I can't see it....let me refresh a couple of times.

5:18 am

nope. still not there.

5:18 am

it's okay....I am sure we will chat again before next february! hope so, anyway!

5:19 am

try again trif, I had not pressed the update button

5:19 am

there we go! thanks love!

5:20 am

I really hope she does get to go. what an adventure!!!

5:22 am

I hope she does too, my grandaughter may be doing an exchange in italy next year, these kids get experiences we never dreamed of

5:22 am

how old is your grand?

I couldn't even join the travelling choir as my parents couldn't afford it

5:23 am

poor herin! but look at you now!!! you really are doing great!

5:23 am

nearly 16

Not really my parents always spoiled me

5:24 am

just the same age my girl will be next year! all sorts of enthusiasm at the age, I just love it! except for when she is being a moody, stroppy troll, of course!

5:25 am

maybe she is related to my grandaughter, lol

5:26 am

LOL! I am so glad I have a year to get used to the idea. the flight from la to sydney will be the most nerve-wracking. WHY did I watch Lost all those times?

5:28 am

well when the time comes I will be happy to pick her up and see she gets the right flight

5:29 am

you rock! thanks me love

5:30 am

now, in other areas - is oz excited about the royal wedding. or is it not much of a whoop down there?

Not me

Couldn't give a crap. I think they shouldn't get married. ALl they are doing is doing it because lord forbid they have the heir and a spare out of wedlock

5:31 am

LOL herin! jaded much?

5:31 am

I think

5:32 am

Kate seems like a nice enough gal, and I must admit, I am curious to see what she chooses out for a dress. she is taking on an AWFUL lot....I was nervous enough on the day. can't imagine doing it in front of the whole world!

no. I have to be frank and how much the media made a complete whore out of Diane

5:32 am

i am not too excited about it all but do enjoy all the hype and have set up my iq box to record it

Errk Di

5:33 am

I will most likely record it as well. All the pomp and ceremony will be quite fun. we have NOTHING like it here, so it's pure escapism on my part

5:33 am

and i wish them well and good luck -- any young couple needs that

5:34 am

recording it means I can just fast forward the dull bits

5:34 am

I am sure harry was in the BAG at the stag do!

O totally random my Grandmother Married at Westminster Abby

5:36 am

wow, really?

yep

Grandfather was a royal guard too

5:37 am

how did you end up in oz?

5:37 am

wow and on that note I am taking a break, later

5:37 am

if you don't mind me asking....

5:37 am

bye andree! have a great day!

Bye Andrew

Me? I was born here. Family migratted

Opps Migrated

5:38 am

okay, but why did your family migrate?

errr.

5:39 am

if I am prying, please to ignore....

I think the story goes mum and dad liked each other in England. Then Dad come out here and then mum did and then they got together

As for me I am adopted. My birth father was from a very small town and my birth mum lives on the NSW coast

5:40 am

ahhh, love! the best reason of all!

5:40 am

yes, I knew your were so

That is what they tell me. Don't know the real story. I did find out the funniest wedding story from them though

5:43 am

oh, do tell, if you can

There is two stories both a bit blurry. Mum caught the train in her dress because either they only had one car which was totalled or dad rolled it on the day and broke it

Then they had their photos out side the church to send to Grandma so she wouldn't know that they got married at the Registry

5:45 am

my goodness herin!

5:46 am

LOL about the photos!

Yep they were crazy kids

5:47 am

on that note, I am going to try to get a titch more sleep before I have to get up. love love love

Well I must go to bed

evening all :)

wow between chats!!

6:23 am

((River)) I wish I knew. A stalled front over our area. 18 days of rain this month

8:28 am

but tornado warning?? Isnt that unusual for your area

8:28 am

wow, mom, that is a lot of rain!!! are you in danger of flooding?

8:28 am

not where we live but the Ohio and Licking Rivers are all above flood stage

8:29 am

White House has released pic of Obama's birth certificate -- maybe this'll shut up the birthers for good: http://tinyurl.com/3wf2v8f

8:29 am

we have advisories issued river,rare for us

8:29 am

we NEVER used to have tornado watches/warnings in this area

8:29 am

I don't think they're that logical, une; trump is already going after his transcripts

8:29 am

It wont shut up that loon Donald Trump

8:29 am

we have had 12 + inches of rain this month

8:29 am

it has rained here alot too...again today...have had thunder storm 2 nights in a row but no tornado warning thank goodness

8:30 am

yes River, thank goodness

8:30 am

I would LOVE for Trump to run on the Republican ticket -- man,would they go down in flames

8:30 am

didn't downtown nashville get hit by a tornado, une? seems like about 10 years ago? very scary!!!

8:31 am

Pffth. Trump isn't going to run. He's just out to get more publicity for his show.

8:31 am

Obama, president of harvard law review...doesn't get much better...what an ass that Trump is. Sad that some people will believe him

8:31 am

Hi Judi

8:31 am

well, the really big tornado hit across the river in East Nashville and did major damage -- more than 10 yrs ago

8:32 am

and exactly this weekend last year, we had the worst flood in the history of Nashville -- crazy

8:32 am

I'm not an Obama fan by any means, but Trump should just shut his hole. After all, his hair isn't even from this planet.

8:33 am

Une, looks like you could get hit again shortly, some nasty storms around Memphis

8:33 am

rats . . .

8:34 am

and on the faculty of the university of chicago law school for 10 years - believe me, as a faculty member myself, you don't get - and keep - a job like that by faking your abilities. and chicago is one of the top law schools (as well as one of the top universities) in the nation.

8:35 am

back in a bit *poof*

8:35 am

U of C is Ivy League Midwest...Obama has impeccable credentials..

8:37 am

I agree (speaking as one who has pretty good credentials herself)

8:38 am

but now I have to run off - bbl! Stay safe during the storms, all! Don't drive into water that you can't see the bottom of, and get into your bathroom or interior closet if there's a tornado warning!

8:38 am

or the basement. :-) have a good day, uusue

8:41 am

when someone presents an object to you he is sh***** you the object(old tyme spelling)

Good clue Mom!

8:47 am

9:22 am

9:22 am

and Molly

9:23 am

You're welcome.

9:29 am

Haz, I reread your "confidential" in your profile and got a good laugh.

9:30 am

That was the idea! I also like the thought of people wondering who the rulemakers might be.

s

9:31 am

or the rule breakers. Hi Nono

9:32 am

Nono seems to be lying low.

9:33 am

I must start my day...bye dear babblers

10:04 am

You're welcome, Yad (Or Kevin)

10:05 am

You figured it out! Some ppl have trouble; they think it's Russian or something

10:05 am

*Haz shows her amazing powers of perception by reading Yad's name backwards*

10:06 am

I figured it out as soon as I saw it the first time! I like giving backwards clues as well.

10:06 am

Or Yiddish... Yad means something in Yiddish

10:06 am

THIRD COLUMN FIRST i stats please?

10:06 am

I'm not much up in either Yiddish or Russian, I'm afraid.

10:10 am

Yes.

10:10 am

Look at the number value.

10:15 am

It is short for data, mlf

10:19 am

I figured Yad out right away because he has the same name as one of my sons.

10:21 am

We'd have been harder to fool if you'd called yourself Davy Nike. Of course, with a name like that you'd be too busy spending millions to bother with the likes of us.

10:24 am

Ooo, now Haz is going anagram on us.

10:24 am

Just to prove I have too much time on my hands.

10:48 am

Good Morning, Everybody. I just got NBT

10:48 am

Hello, Nef.

10:49 am

Just checked to see that Mr Cooder had a full name. I take it the person you know only had the shortened version?

11:07 am

do you want a clue Nef

11:08 am

nope, just got it too! Thanks! :-)

11:11 am

lol@ obama,s birth speech!! he is like dad giving his kids heack for starting wasrs ofver silly stuff when he has real work to do!

11:11 am

wars

11:11 am

funny stuff

11:12 am

and i do not blame him

11:12 am

Just my opinion, but if Obama had been forthcoming with his birth certificate, there wouldn't have been any controversy.

11:13 am

is it anyone business?

11:13 am

or his shoe size?

11:13 am

lol

11:13 am

It is when being a US citizen is a requirement to run for President.

11:13 am

or if he like ketchup with his grilled cheese sammich?

11:14 am

i am sure his credentials were checked during the campaign

11:14 am

cross, I agee, but now maybe those birthers will find something wrong with this long form also.

11:14 am

when has any other president been required to produce his birth certicate?

11:14 am

people just do not walk in off the street and fill out an aplication for that post...i hope

11:15 am

Personally, I think that his short birth certificate was good enough; that was what Hawaii gave him; this long form isn't SOP. I'm sure that people wouldn't be satisfied with this one either if it was the first one; they'd just find something else to complain about

11:15 am

sure, now the Donald is questioning how he got into Harvard. it will always be something.

11:15 am

just too rich..lol

11:16 am

Need clues for sh7.Any help?

11:16 am

you Canadians are much more sensible!

11:17 am

do you suppose the same fuss would have been raised for McCain (who was born in Panama?

11:17 am

who cares if his hawaii certificate is the short or long form..goodness

11:18 am

If I never see Trump's ugly face and gaping mouth again, I'll be a happy person!

11:18 am

Not much chance of that erda!

11:19 am

swat

11:19 am

amen -- alas

11:19 am

how about everyone spend millions studying the minutae of the Donalds life for a bit instead? lol

11:20 am

sorry,sorry,sorry

11:20 am

Doubt there will be anything exciting there, crossy.

11:20 am

Okay, so much for everyone being entitled to their opinion.

11:20 am

Or worth repeating...

11:20 am

that better be an american weave he wears..we better set up a task force and find out!..hehe

11:21 am

I'm thinking "the Donald" won't allow his finances to be open to media exposure and all his talk of running for President is just bull

11:21 am

tough our prime minister,while he is a Canadian is a ding bat;)

11:21 am

Yes, Nef!

11:22 am

There are dingbats everywhere -- look at Italy....

11:22 am

oh that guy boinking the 17 year old? yea,caught some of that in the paper

11:23 am

my brother is a conspiracy therorist he loves that sort of stuff

11:24 am

He should have plenty of material to work with...

11:24 am

and yet the people vote them into office time and again. there should be a country for sane people

11:24 am

I don't get why politics makes people (both men and women) think with their sex drive

11:25 am

hello molly and sue and everybody

12:55 pm

hi nef

12:56 pm

nice clues in the chog!

12:56 pm

hi, molly! I think i just need to keep the kid away from the car for a while. we had two sets of keys and he's already lost one of them.

12:56 pm

and hi, ruby!

12:57 pm

does he leave your car with an empty tank?

12:57 pm

he would if he drove it that far, ruby, but we live in a pretty small town so usually the tank doesn't go down much :-)

12:58 pm

how small is the town?

1:01 pm

one more word for half

1:03 pm

ok, got half, now I need the left-hand a for nbt so I can go to bed!

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

Good night everybody

1:06 pm

(he called, then a student came in, etc etc etc)

1:28 pm

a

1:41 pm

Sue, since you are that close to everything, have you ever thought about scooters?

1:43 pm

morning

1:43 pm

hi, molly, the kid is breaking out his bicycle again :-) I've thought about a scooter but am trying to spend as little money as possible, since my outgo already exceeds my income even when I try very hard to be very frugal.

1:44 pm

And my car is a prius so doesn't use a whole lot of gas anyway. And it didn't kill me to walk to work this morning, just would have preferred more warning.

1:45 pm

but thanks for the idea :-) one of the kid's friends has a scooter and it gets about 100 mpg (twice what the prius gets), so that would be kind of cool

1:47 pm

afternoon babblers!

OOOPS! I need to pay attention to where I'm at! Sorry.

not a word, bummer! I have 88 left!

4:51 pm

44 left for me now. I'm finding lots of fake words... silly words that I've necver heard or seen before

4:52 pm

hi again, all!

4:52 pm

hi sue

4:53 pm

how's things going for you and your family?

4:53 pm

hi, nef! dont' suppose it's any warmer in MN than it is here :-(

4:54 pm

up and down, nef, I think the end is nearing for my stepmom. Dad is handling it ok but I know he's frustrated that he can't be there.

4:55 pm

it's warmer today than yesterday; but at 40 degrees, it isn't warm enough

4:55 pm

would he go if they asked him to be there? Is there a way to let her family know that?

4:57 pm

I don't think they want him there, nef, that's part of the frustration. And I don't know if he'd be able to get there anyway (and right now she is fully sedated so no real point in visiting). I went to see her last weekend and was able to talk to her, so that was good.

4:57 pm

and 50 here, also not warm enough :-)

4:57 pm

hi all

4:57 pm

I'd be happy with 50 degrees today!

4:58 pm

it is 81 here today and the sky is dark

4:58 pm

hi jmc!

4:59 pm

hi, jmc!

4:59 pm

oh, just rub it in, jmc! :-P

4:59 pm

our sky is pretty dark too, would be easier to take if it was 81 instead of 50 :-)

5:00 pm

we were/are under tornado watch so there is a down side to this warm weather

5:00 pm

yeah, that's us pretty much all summer, jmc

5:01 pm

true. Isn't this is a bad year for rotten weather?

5:01 pm

it is better than last year was for us--no blizzards this year

I would love to have a few weeks more of 50.

5:01 pm

we had one doozy of a blizzard, jmc, but not a lot of snow other than that.

and Jmc thanks for your prudent advice yesterday...

5:02 pm

:-)

5:02 pm

well, come on up, red!

5:02 pm

happy to help out red--did you get it done?

I'm going to do it on Friday. I think I will feel better having H and R block do it.

5:03 pm

waste of money red

I know it is, but...It will be worth it to quell my anxiety. If i do it myself I will worry for Months if not the entire year.

5:04 pm

:-) well not being worried is a good thing

For me. I have a rather elevated anxiety level..

5:04 pm

glad it's working out, red, I know you were really worried!

UU, I would come but you have that horrid winter weather!

5:05 pm

even now, red! (well, we seem to have reached early spring, but still!)

5:05 pm

red, you could be like a snow bird (but in reverse)

I suppose! I do like Florida but its so hot already.

Love the flower icon uusue.

5:06 pm

anyway, back to recording more grades, maybe I will finish the puzzle tonight?

5:07 pm

I couldn't stand that heat and humidity myself. And you have bigger bugs than we do too! (except for our reputaion of mosquitos)

5:07 pm

Thanks, red! I like the botany photo-of-the-day site, they have a new photo every day with lots of useful information.

They spray so well for the bugs I rarely see them...

5:07 pm

yeah, nef, at least our bugs die in the winter! :-)

though I did see one today in my kitchen...it was a love bug I think.

5:08 pm

my mother was a reverse snow bird coming up to DC for the cool summers (compared to Texas)

5:08 pm

fein

5:09 pm

Sorry again; wrong box and I tried deleting it and hit the wrong button too

5:09 pm

:-)

its ok Nef, it also is not a word...

sadly, I did try it right straight away.

5:10 pm

6:26 pm

9:08 pm

hi jes

9:10 pm

It's raining in Cairns (Aus) right now. I know that, 'cos my daughter just told me. It's stopped her free-falling out of a plane at 40,000 feet over the Barrier Reef.

9:12 pm

Am I sorry? Sort of, but still getting over her doing a bungee jump and going white water rafting, getting thrown out of canoe, going through the next rapid sans canoe and then being told 'you really have to get back into the canoe' by a panicky looking guide who'd realised they were now in the part of the river where the crocs are.

9:13 pm

I'm hoping the nightmares I've been having won't come true!

9:20 pm

Stid - surely the month is the same all over the world, but the season may vary.

9:21 pm

If anyone needs a clue for the grid, yell in the next 20 mins.

9:51 pm

howdy

9:52 pm

i was beginning to think i was all alone here

I am off work

9:52 pm

leaving me all alone after all! :P

No I am OFF work not OFF to work

9:54 pm

oh, i see! sorry. generally i am able to read, but apparently not tonight.

That is ok. How are you all?

9:56 pm

all? i am generally only me.. :P a little sleepy, a little silly, and down to 5 words

I though you had a partner?

and the fur brats?

9:59 pm

oh, he's well. he's playing Rifts

9:59 pm

the fur brats are for once being quiet and calm, hardly brat-like at all.

9:59 pm

i'm sure that won't last!

10:00 pm

Firewords :D

I locked mine out of the bedroom today. Well actually I did the illusion of being locked out. The door was ajar they could have got in if they tried

10:02 pm

mine never fall for that

Well they didn't bother me. I had a leg warmer this mornign

My dear I must go have a good day

10:08 pm

you too!

I'm never here this late unless I have insomnia- wish I could have awakened after the flip tho.

11:23 pm

i'm never here this late but i just got home from the homeless shelter and not ready for bed yet. have 21 left

what do you do at the shelter?

11:26 pm

we intake about 40 guests and serve them dinner. chat with them or watch tv until bedtime. i only go once a month for a few hours at our church.

what part of the country?

11:27 pm

chicago suburbs

I do a lot of homeless work is why I ask.

11:29 pm

then you know the struggles they face, how some are very normal people down on their luck and some are outright crazy and then everything in between

11:30 pm

it makes me appreciate my nice home that's not quite as nice as i might like on any other day :)

Absolutely. and the stigma and the sense of failure, and the long road back ridden with many hurdles. And the lack of services.

11:30 pm

the loop, can't get a job bc i cont have an address, cant get an address without a job

11:31 pm

cant get an interview if im dirty from sleeping in the forest preserve, etc.

There was a dermatologist on NPR talking about his pro bono work with homeless people- many skin deseases from frostbite to infections-and how they are so grateful for services that they are willing to wait, while his private patients can't tolerate being kept waiting 15 minutes.

11:34 pm

oh so true!

11:35 pm

but for us, you can tell the ones that have been in the system too long. less grateful, more demanding, knw how to "work it".

11:36 pm

but then the ones who always say thank you and treat everyone with respect. takes all kinds.

There but for fortune go you or I.

11:38 pm

absolutely! especially in this day and age. what kind of work do you do?

11:39 pm

hi all. clues for the 8s please? dont have any

Therapist. (natch). Work a lot with homeless and addictive issues. Kids on oxycontin, older people who are trying to get some dignity after many years...

11:41 pm

everyone needs family so they are nevwer without a home to go to in times of need. my dad said a parents job is to be there to help the kids when it is crucial. i agree.

stats for the 8's would suffice me.

11:42 pm

that's great kap. for years in our area we had systems to provide day to day shelter but the last few they have really worked at trying to get people out of the system and independent again.

I'd be happy with 150-ish too if we don't have a grid like the last two (tons of boring 4s)

11:52 pm

updated icon.. not exactly a tornado but miss gulch is in one ;)

11:55 pm

<---thinks that was cute

11:56 pm

Kap -- thank you very much -- most interesting link and now I feel a lot better about Irma. Ruru, you should take the trouble to go to Kap's link.

11:57 pm

grem, I LIKE 4s!

when usue's joke camel joke makes the atlantic monthly, you know we operate on a very high level.

Wish the damn thing would flip!!

11:58 pm

I missed that, Kap. Anything like the Ogden Nash verse about the camel

11:58 pm

jilli: longer ones are better

11:59 pm

i like long stuff but ur talkin about words lol

open the link about sister Schmuck. it's in there.

11:59 pm

grem. many longer ones grow out of the little ones I get first.

11:59 pm

if you work at it a bit, yeah

11:59 pm

it's hard for a lot of people though

12:00 am

that's how my lame brain works, grem.
