ahh, that looks nice
interesting Yad
thanks grem, was wearing one of my friend's many hats
10 to go
go ru!
Hi Flosey - fine picture. I love hats, and look good in them sitting down: but as I am small, resemblance to a walking mushroom or a garden gnome is frequent.
The world is very very quiet here in England this morning: I can hear one plane and now revealed, all the birdsong. No-one has got out of bed except me.
thanks scouser,
ah, but the excitment will be starting very soon?
did Jilli leave?
hello, scouser -- like my wedding hat?
I left for a bit -- changing TV channels etc
ah there you are! is the wedding being shown on CBC?
Jilli, sorry
An infant school up the road had a party yesterday on their field. It was a lovely sunny day for them all in their pretty frocks and waving flags. Nostalgic.
also tried clearing the cache on the desktop to get Lickety -- didn't work.
finito!!!!!!!!!!!
That's fab jillibus. I got Lickety - do you want me to put it on my profile?
I want to tape the wedding, can't stay up to watch it, have to be out of here about 9:30
well done ru
I have not got a TV. Only the internet. I will be in the garden instead.
It's being shown just about everywhere, flosey -- CBC, CTV, Global and as far as I can see at least NBC among the US channels
oh great, thanks jilli
going to go down and set the tape, bbs
it's ok, scouser -- I have Lickety on my laptop (using Babble Expert) -- it's just that the new desktop is being difficult
One day there will be a new computer that is completely backwards-compatible and endowed with every driver under the sun and will run everything properly. One day.....
the weird thing is that when the hiccup takes place at 2 am grid time, all will be well on the desktop. I have a techie coming on Tuesday to try to sort it out.
2 am grid time, for four minutes or so, is when Babble server has its tantrum and is doing a backup. I e-mailed Dr God and got that info from Jamie T in reply.
yes, I know -- and for some reason it fixes Babble Expert on my desktop -- updates it.
(sorry -- took a break to do some kitchen chores)
back for a bit, am reusing an old tape, presume it's ok
Weather forecast for London is sunny until the afternoon when it might rain a bit; cooler than yesterday at about 12-14 degs. Here in the northwest it is mild sunny-through-mist and no wind at all. English preoccupation with the weather coming to the fore there!
ad5/14 for now.
bye for now scouser
toddles, scouser -- happy gardening!
I mean toodles, sigh.
well, I do toddle now and then
btw, I have two little Union Jacks in a holder on the windowsill in the front of my house, in honour of the celebration.
lovely, jilli
Hooray -- post-hiccup, and Lickety is up on the Desktop.
super, jilli
too tired to see any more, goodnight jilli
Another oddity -- before the hiccup I went to the plain ordinary Babble (not Expert) and clicked on Lickety's Babble Clues, and they showed up.
Goodnight, flosey -- hope your old tape works!
GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY! whoops, didn't mean to shout
is anybody still here?
i am here ruby, but only sort of. should be sleeping
I'm trying to get myself moving. Slow, achy start this morning; there must be more rain coming.
I'm trying to get myself moving. Slow, achy start this morning; there must be more rain coming.
How are you, trif?
i am fine, thank you!
I loved yesterday's grid, but only had time for a little more than half
how are you doing?
we needed the rain respertely as they were about to impose water restrictions, but I feel much better when it's warm and sunny and dry
that was supposed to be desperately, duh, my spelling is a little off this AM hahah
we are drowning over here....I swear, a million or two bugs were born in the last two days
gnats or mayflies? you need to import wome lizards!
some*
both I think...some sort of pteradactyl made it's way in the house yesterday...free dog snacks! (ack)
did the dog clean up after himself....or leave a trail of little feet and tails....
swallowed it one dusty, bogus gulp!
more evidence that dogs will do things human would NEVER do!
ack is right
I am always washing out the dogs' water bowls and then they drink from the fish pond, brown mucky water!
I love my dogs but don't claim that they're brilliant, that's for sure!
watching some early coverage of the royal wedding in england....thinking that a fairly effective drinking game would be "drink every time someone says the word 'diana'"....would be hammered in NO time!
who is daying "Diana". Poor Camilla!
slip
slit
slid
every single person they have interviewed, so far
whoops, so sorry
that's disgusting! Is there coffee in the PB?
the last "royal" thing I watched was Queen Elizabeth's coronation, but I was 10
Hello Trif & Ruby. I think it is understandable - it is her first born and he looks so much like her. Don't think it reflects on Camilla at all.
I am more worried about the bombing in Marrakesh. My handyman and his 8 yrs old son arrived there yesterday morning for a one-week holiday!
{{lynxx}} I hope not, as I feel sorry for Camilla
I think it can't be avoided. everyone is going to be thinking of her today, it seems
Honestly, I hope the day goes well for them. there was a very worrying report on the news this week about protests that are planned for today, and some very concerning web sites
how could anyone protest such a lovely match
The royal weddings are such a spectacle. Of course people will compare it to Charles & Diana. It is nice to have something happening that is not concerned with natural disasters or terrorism for a change.
When does the tornado season finish Trif - it is just awful over there
it seems a lot of people are vexed at the thought of the wedding costing the taxpayers anything, when england is having to cut services
that's true, lynxx, but the idea of the public having to pay for the wedding is crazy. Isn't the queen the richest woman in the world?
Think of all the money pouring in though. Are you sure the 'public' is paying?
I am not sure, lynxxx -- it lasts all summer, anyway
this year's tornados in the US are the worst I can ever remember
near
peats
The whole question of payment for the wedding is subject to rumour and counter rumour. No, the taxpayers are not paying for everything. Apart from anything else, they'll say it'll cost so much for policing when the police would be getting paid anyway.
it has been a heck of a tornado season, so soon
I love you both, but I had better stop chatting because I'm too scattered to get my words in the right box!
Charles is paying for the wedding but the public pays for the "security" - police I guess
oh, ruby honey, I don't mind if you goof now and then. love you too!
Hi Haz
Ditto the military. It's not like they would be getting no pay unless they turned out to do their wedding spectacle duty.
'zactly
thank you, trif, but because of Marrakesh, I didn't sleep much
And they've already got all the uniforms, the coaches are there anyway etc.
I think Kate is just lovely. I wish them both well. I was nervous as all get out on my wedding day, and we only had about 125 guests. I cannot even bear the idea of what that young woman is taking on!
she seems like a lovely girl andhe, a fine young man!
And frankly, by the time it's over, we'll not notice a penny of difference in our taxes and those who get benefits from the government will not notice any difference.
the hats ALONE are worth watching the wedding for. wow!
and are you glued to the TV Haz? might pick up some tips?!
I would pay my weight in gold to have Dame Edna arrive in her full splendidness....
splendor?
No, I haven't turned on the TV yet. I'll watch the ceremony but I'm going to a concert this afternoon (Music for a Royal wedding) which will be broadcast on Radio 3, so I'm looking foward to that.
I think for Dame Edna, splendidness is correct! lol
Without a scintilla of proof, I rather think it is an oversimplification to say the cost of security on the day of a royal wedding is not considerably more than on a day without a royal wedding.
Nevertheless, it's probably not going to be as much as the figures that are bandied around.
hello BR. I agree with you because I'm sure they have called in all the people with days off plus reserves and extras and extra pay for longer hours
I think Barry Humphries is a guest - don't think he'll do it in a frock though
tids
But then again, what goes on is none of my business. Certainly, the needs of the common people will always be of less concern. The common people are budget items. Royalty is royalty.
wow, success seems to have many fathers....BBC is interviewing people from out of the wood work of Kate's life...
Same in most societies it seems BR
The needs of the common people are met very handsomely (by US standards) from government coffers. They'll not go without their benefits, don't worry about that.
(not always 'Royalty' but other Upper levels)
Some people make it sound as though beggars are lining the streets of London scrabbling for the crumbs to be thrown from the royal carriage.
its interesting to hear you say that, Haz, as there has been a LOT of coverage here concerning all the programs being cut in London. Not just because of the wedding, of course, but just down to the bad economy
great image!
They'll be made to stand in an orderly queue, naturally.
but it sounds a lot like the Tube when I was there last year!
( is the z only a tease?)
I suppose I should go. Being told to not worry is quite comforting.
Trifioso, the economy (and sorry, my eyes glaze over when money in millions is talked about) isn't great, but in real terms this wedding and the government's contribution to it is a drop in the ocean compared to the real money pits.
but, as they say in France, "Let them eat cake"
lol BabRab, Haz will keep her eagle eyes across it all - no fear
Stay and be worried, BabbleRabble, it's your right.
Let's face it, if the people were that resentful, they wouldn't be turning out in their thousands to see the wedding procession etc.
I'll just enjoy the pageantry, BBL, it has started (watching the BBC coverage on cable)
ummm - the announcer on the BBC just said this is not an official state event, as the Prince is one back from the actual throne.
Those who do resent the money being spent will stay at home and shake their fists at the TV, or spend the day gardening or whatever. And people are free to say what they think on either side, so that's a bonus.
Actually he is now a Duke, and she a Duchess - does this mean he is no longer a Prince?
I hope they do stay at home, haz. It's the people who are planning all sorts of public displays of disapproval I am worried about
He's still a prince, but she wouldn't automatically become a princess upon marriage. The usual shortcut is to make them Duke and Duchess.
aren't you glad to be Australian, Lynxx, a part of a very democratic society?
duke of cambridge, yes?
Yes, They are now Duke & Duchess of Cambridge
andres is the duke of york and he is still prince andrew
andrew
Yes Ruby, but Elizabeth is still Queen of Australia
THIS JUST IN == Victoria Beckham just smiled on camera!
OMG, did her face crack and bleed?
LOLOL. she has a lovely hat
and speaking of ti***, did you notice it in the grid?
accident?
she has ti4s? she seems too skinny
And I still haven't turned on the TV, not even to see Victoria Beckham smile.
no no, ti5! hahah, trif
I was talking about Dukes and Princes
((((scarlet))))
Well, all the guests are arriving and the selection of hats is interesting. I think my pick would fit in very nicely. Hello everyone!
hahah, trif!
{{jilli}}
morning jili! BBC just interviewed a seemingly sane canadian, so well done to you!
was it jilli?
I've been watching CBC for over an hour
I think Canadians are the most sane!
not me, Trif!
not unless she a) has an infant and b) is outside the balcony, staked out for a good viewing spot!
we certainly have insane moments
jilli's secret life!
I have two little Union Jacks in a stand on my front windowsill. Remember, I was born a Brit.
has anybody used the lovely z yet?
not I
have you, ruby?
hmmm,thought I had a photo of me wearing a hat to use for today's icon, but I can't find it....
like scouser, I look like a walking mushroom in a hat, much too short although I love them
when it's cold I wear my chapka but with dark glasses so not recognizable!
good morning Babblers just wanted to have a quicksay on the wedding of two lovely people..yesterdayat 2:15 someone called them2 inbred halfwits,i found that so offensive.with so much tragedy in this world,we chould enjoy this beautyful event.the cost is not an issue . the us spends Millions if not Billions,and the return is we are not liked,and alot of lives are lost.just enjoy this day,my 5 cents worth .
Good morning, Yvo.
nicely put, Yvo!
half now and taking a break. See you later!
i gave up swimming to watch ,and enjoying it evry minute.
Good! Enjoy it, Yvo. You still swim most days?
and I should be in bed 2 hrs ago! I have one z in a p4.
I hate hats.
evry day for the last 12 years
I am not watching the wedding
You're very dedicated. I can't swim a stroke.
HI!
Hello, hoot.
Are you not watching the wedding because of your hat hatred?
I've not got it on either, but will watch the ceremony later.
No - just not interested
seems that nothing hurts in the water,and feel so good after it.
And you don't mind all the getting dried and dressed afterwards?
I love swimming -- have done so since age 3. Got a diving prize (a silver spoon engraved with the date) when I was 4. Water baby.
if I had to sit behind some of the hats, I would be so grumpy! some of them just cannot be seen around!
have a good day Haze im lurking ,have to make some coffee and just let it all happen .no i dont mind a person is a creature of habit,it comes automaticly take care haze see you again soon.
morning all - what's with the hats being worn on the forehead? Looks ridiculous!
I'd be grumpy if I had to be at a wedding for hours before the ceremony.
Beckham's wife's "fascinator" is really way out.
Bye, Yvo, nice to talk to you.
I like her hat better than that bright blue thing a few seconds ago...
Oh, I thought hers was the blue thing.
hers is dark blue
victoria beckham is entirely in black - doen't feel apprpriate for a wedding
I have CBC on here and BBC in the kitchen, lol!
i am wearing a fuschia hat LOL but even though i have refreshed several times i still seem to be an easter bunny
is her dress black? I thought it was sort of a navy
I guess I was looking at the wrong person -- she wasn't identified exactly.
tara palmer tomlinson is the blue forehead hat
Now try to explain Tara Palmer Tomkinson!
I see yours when I click on your bunny, glant. Very nice!
bbc is making me giggle - their two female correspondents have the same name as my daughters, so it's quite funny - over to you, back to you...
who is Tara Palmer Tomkinson?
socialite
semi nobility and celebrity
She's an old family friend, probably infamous for drug abuse in earlier times.
i love the trees in the abbey
me too! gives it a lovely natural, softer look
I love the whole thing -- so good to see so much happiness for a change.
have found an icon with lots of hats. everyone can choose one
well, i am off to watch it with friends - see you when it's all over
great, Trif!
elton john has arrived in his hat of hair!
bye, Glant -- I don't have many friends willing to stay up until about 4 am our time
Oh I missed Elton
I cannot even imagine how Kate is feeling right now
I give up! 10 left for whenever I regain consiousness tomorrow. Have fun with your wedding. g'night
nite nite hoot
Goodnnight, hoot, sleep well.
goodnight hoot
the cavalry is sharp looking, that is for sure
Haz, I just read the Minutes -- excellent ;-)
I'm glad you enjoyed them, jillibus.
does anyone have a nudge for the top i in the fourth column?
Aww, Google's wedding graphic is sweet (although I'm starting to feel like there's nowhere to go even in the virtual world where it's possible to avoid the ... uh ... enthusiasm.
The secret's out about the Committee, but their identity remains shrouded in mystery.
il7 - inflammation of innards.
Hello everyone.
Scrap that, it comes from a different tile.
Hello City
I'm missing that i, too, sorry Trif.
[p
is5/10 - being most of the Scottish flower symbol
hi Jilli :)
Or at least the bit after th
thank you haz!
You're welcome.
oh wait - not the right i....but I needed it anyway, so thaks
that's the bottom one I think, Haz.
thanks
Third attempt - il5/12 and its plural.
THink Homer, not Simpson.
bingo!
Thank you very much, Haz.
We got there in the end!
thats nbt pour moi!
That's commendable in the face of the distraction.
Heck, that's commendable with a grid that seems comprised of obscure bablets!
Right, I'd better go and get ready to be distracted along with the rest of you. Enjoy the grid and the day - bye for now!
Bye, Haz, have fun :)
I'm watching the wedding on TV and Babbling at the same time. Seen Elton and David, and the Beckhams.
golly, some of the seats in this abbey are completely blocked off all view. can you imagine? You get an invite to the wedding, you are all excited, and upon arrival it's "sit here behind this pole, thanks"
I have to go; trying my chances at finding a garden centre open. Happy wedding-watching, folks.
wtg trif!
I agree, Trif. And the hats will block a lot of people's views, soo.
prince william looks pretty darn anxious. can't blame the poor guy
This is so exciting! I'm so glad I got up early to watch!
i agree. my two daughters, however, ages 11 and 14 could not care less.
Hi
hi herin -- I'm watching the wedding -- are you?
Hello good -- I'm staying up late to watch, lol!
My kids didn't care until we watched all the pregame yesterday but I'm not waking them on a school day
HI. Sorry the dinner bell rang
I am watching the tv
My Grandfather was a Queens Guard so yes I am sucked into all this
Hi. I'm still here and I'm watching too
I'm so inmpressed by your grandfather, herin. What a prestigious job he had.
Hi Hydra. I would love to know what he did but sadly that is a secret
The Queen wears such lovely colours.
But she never puts a foot wrong.
Yes, that buttercup yellow looks lovely and fresh on her. And I can't believe Prince Phillip is almost 90.
I am wondering if I can get info on both Grand and Great Grand parents
Ooh! First glimpse of the dress! And in my excitement I've dropped some chocolate between my laptop keys.
Here comes the bride...
The dress looks gorgeous! Love that lace.
I love the dress. But still my hurt aches for my USA friends
those kids look so wonderful!
I do love the dress how it is perfect
Pippa rocks!
yes indeed, good.
Whar's up with your US friends, herin?
The Tornados
are you thinking of the tornadoes?
Yes
Any minute now... the dress in all its glory.
O Myh
So perfect!
Modest, girlish, beautiful. Her makeup is lovely, too. She doesn't look at all nervous.
She is SO beautiful.
I would be so scared I'd be wearing incontinence pants!!!
Sorry. Lowered the tone there!
Who designed her dress I missed it?
Sarah Burrton for Alexander McQueen
The music is exquisite.
Oh, those little bridesmaids are so cute. The one with the little pouty face.
Nifty pageboys too
Mr McQueen would have been so proud
I meant Burton with one r. Mistyping in my excitement.
I found it
wow, what a camera angle!
Oh fabulous
good morning all
I adore Harry. He's so handsome and rakish. Yes, jilli, a wonderful angle looking down into the Abbey.
THat is so the British Flag
what time did the wedding start there in England?
Ooh, Elton!
11 am
Didn't realise Wills was so bald! He needs Elton's hair restorer.
Love your hat icon, Jilli. Been too glued to the TV to change mine.
Get your tissues out now, folks.
Kate is gulping a bit. Bet she's trying not to cry.
Thanks, hydra -- I liked it.
She is trying so hard not to cry. Aaah!
He's giving her such a lovely secret little smile.
Morning all. How nice to start the day watching a wedding.
Are you watching it, Molly?
HI Molly is everything settled down there now?
Yep. She looks lovely. I expected no less. Things are fine here Herin. We did not suffer any damage. It was south of here, thanks.
My dinner is burning
Thank goodness
Run, herin!
Hello Molly -- thanks for the hat icon suggestion -- there are some doozies there!
huh?
Nah. I will get himself to see if it is ok. I can't be stuffed
I love the descants those boys are singing
James Middleton is reading that speech so well.
Damn! Camera swung away just as Wills and Kate were sharing a smile.
I could not imagine James marrying anyone beneath the stairs
Love the hymn they're singing now. Those choirboys have glorious soaring voices.
Another great camera shot down into the Abbey.
Gosh, didn't realise it was St Catherine's Day today. Wonder if that's why they chose today for the wedding?
Hi Jilli. I'm in and out getting ready for work. "Every wedding is a royal wedding". What a sweet thing to say.
He seems such a nice jolly cleric.
'Each must give the other space and freedom'. I echo that.
Hydra that is the 25th of November
That's odd. He just said, 'St Catherine of Siene, whose day it is today.'
Maybe I misheard.
No My bad
I got the wrong Catherine
No I didn't. Just Googled it and it says the Catholic church celebrates it today.
LOL.
Very haunting hymn they're singing now.
As I said wrong Catherine
I was thinking Saint Catherine of Alexandria
My lol referred to that, herin. Flad is next to me, snoring louder than the TV volume.
awwww kity?
No Herin, you got it right. Today is the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena.
Oops. Mis-read the chat. Time for more coffee.
No Hydra had it right first. I got confused with the Catharine the matyr
Well, I'm going for a coffee now. Enjoy the rest of the day, everyone.
See you later.
Ok
bye hydra
Think about it. Here we are, Babblers sharing this wedding and we're all over the world.
YEp
Is Fergie there?
Not invited, herin.
That is a bit rude.
is obama there
obama was not invited
I don't know but I don't think so.
No he wasn't invited. Then again neither was Brown
It is not a state occasion and certain rules apply. If he was King now there would be a heavier guest list.
morning, all!
oh that is suprising.. how about elton john..he ws good friends with diana
morning, all!
morn.uusue
(sorry, hiccup)
Sue everything settled down now?
elton is there
and his partner
elton john and his signifcant other are both there
That is because of their connection to Princess Di
thats nice...seems appropriate
William looks worried about sstepping on Kate's dress
That and because of William also connection with the carities
charities
hi, herin, weather is fine here and things with my stepmom are apparently stable for the moment
Good.
and there's the wonderful carraige and the white horses...aaaahhh!
I do wish Princess Di was there though
site
oops
Don't think anyone noticed
i know!
William and Harry are so much like Princess Diana that, to me, it always feels as if she is there.
I love seeing the Guard.
i agree patxxx
I agree with Pat they don't seem to reflect Jughead at all
We do love our royalty.
ther is so much of her in them
But we have the Kardashians.
Well I do as my Grandfather was a Queens Guard
i was surprised to see that Cate didn't wear her hair up, all the hoopla this week about it
Diana...
the kardashians are royal buffoons
When Diana's sons glance down for a second I almost see her.
No class at all.
The kards I mean.
I love seeing the Buzzbees
none self absorbed buffoons
Cate looks down everytime William salutes,
is it on now in the US?
That is a matter of manners
She is acknowledging them
I think she's supposed to -- I gather William is returning a salute made to them.
yes,,, on almost every channel
it has been on here in Missouri since 3 AM Kaplan
we love wils...lol
Babies next. Soon I hope. Whilst there are no heirs then Harry is next in line to the throne. Not putting Harry down as he's lovely too.
I'm watching BBC World
i see herin
did you see Prince Philip almost tipping the carriage over?
The military wife usually bows her head. It is like her way of saluting but she is not
i heard that babies will come soon, patxxx
Jen - Diana would have been the perfect Grandmother.
yes, patxxx, i know
yes, patxxx, i know
I do love how the Princess did the the whole I will get my dress my self thank you very much
that's funny, Prince Harry in the carriage with the youngest children :)
i took the day off for this day!
Now, Jen, we wonder what the evening gown will be like. Harry always seems to gravitate to children and seems be thoroughly enjoy their company.
THat is because Harry is a kid
i think Harry is dying to be an uncle soon!
We all are!
stayed up all nite and stood for every playing of God Save the Queen!!! :-)
Still can't work out why Fergie was not invited
because she was an embarrassment to the royal family?
:-D
Too much scandal, I think, and that business about trying to sell access to the royals or something
hey, jilli!!
I gather she is at a Spa in Thailand, or somewhere nearby.
salut, une!
my poor dogs have been very patient -- taking them out to pee :-)
I meant Fergie is at a Spa. I liked her and still do.
beautiful pomp and circumstance, eh?
back in a mo *poof*
I like her because she doesn't take BS.
hey all
hi, young!
hi young prodigy
is anybody else getting a lot of lag in the puzzle (remember the puzzle?) and the chog?
lag
My nephew has a new word
i meant lag? what do you mean uusue2
cool, herin :-)
His new word is BOOBS
I mean I type things in and they take a while to appear
yeah, a little
lol, herin!
Sounds like something I would teach him
Personally, I would rather hear a young boy say boobs, than hear a grown man say boobies.
me too molly! LOL
Either way, they never seem to get over their infatuation with them. : P
Yep and he is not yet 2
I was just thinking, we have no equivalent to a royal wedding here in The States.
yall saw that wedding
It's fun to watch all the excitement.
look at that huge church
was Babble down for a while?
yes it was down down down :(
I've just now been able to get into Babble, bichon.
Whew, glad it's back
Blimey, babble was down for two and a half hours
anyone have the fourth column, uppermost i for NBT?
the ____ and the odyssey
ty hurshy
WOW! Took me over 90 minutes to get on this site this morning.
just arrived myself, I think something was wrong with the si4
wrong wrong, very wrong
i feel VERY WEIRD today.
hi hurshy, how come?
well, everything is very chaotic with work. the changes that were to be implemented are starting to be implemented, but with no direct warning. my phone number was moved to my new desk this morning, nobody told me this was going to happen today. very rude. *i* can't move, because i don't know about computer arrangements. horrid carol is out, which is good.
ouch. I have been through such changes at work too. Best you can do is take care of yourself, and remind yourself that THEY are crazy, not you.
don't suppose anyone has the 8?
not me yet
me either.. hi sprite and hurshy
surely 30 p's would be enough. 40 is overdoing it.
hi Aloy :D Terra isn't afraid of the awful construction noise coming from the neighbours. He is my little hero (much more courageous than I)

Yowsa, Babble is working!!! hello all

bye sprite
well lickety does of course
expert is working inge if you have it

What is the first si 5/10\
tx Found it now
i don't have it yet yad
anyone have the il7?
sickness of the ilium - il 7
si is fine sand or something carried by water
better known as Crohn's disease
that is the 4 and 5
il + **ther/or + some people call toilet paper ***sues
thanks erda!
yw!
Crohn's disease was too abstract?
did you get my clue for the si4 and 5 yad?
i have those si's, i need the first si 5/10... oh, nm, I was missing the plural, DUH! TY
yeah, I couldn't get it Yad :)
that was the 1sr you need the 2nd then which is an indian instrument
ok, just read back
yep, down to 11 left
I didn't realize si4 had a plural. I thought it was one of those words like "deer" which can be singular and plural.
me neither molly
As a matter of fact, si4 with an s on it sounds weird.
it is a verb according to Scrabble dictionary, that's why it takes the "s"
-to fill with a sedimentary material-
si4 is a VERB???
Scrabble makes a lot of words into verbs
clue for ap7 please?
Ah well. Wedding cake and ice cream in the PB.
pe 6?
i have to get my studio clean for open studios this weekend. So here I am babbling.
If you are not hungry, you have no ap7...spelled differently
thanks Molly and hello
pe6 rhymes with "a little ****** told me"

Also, here is the latest on my stepmother (also in my profile): they were going to try to wean her off the ventilator today or tomorrow. However, during the night she pulled out all the tubes .....

my lights were fine all night
oh dear uu

..... AND she is fine! Was sitting up watching the wedding when my stepbrother went in to see her this morning. So go figure, and hurray!!!!!!!!
wow!
great reason to party. :)
*polishes na*** and looks at them* I think so
Oh my goodness uusue!
this was the second time our neighborhood lost power (last time was only for like 20-30 minutes) for seemingly no reason. i cant find anything to explain why!
I told him that if that's what it takes we should have more royal weddings :-)
clue for er8?
Good news Sue. She sounds like a tough one.
pepco is the reason why
Eva, have you angered someone at PEPCO? : P
She really is, molly, and stubborn as hell too (as is my dad :-)
er 8...when you smile you ra7 happiness. Add an e.
are they back together sue
ahh. finally managed to find something, albeit short, about the LAST power outage: http://tinyurl.com/6ckdhrb
no, river, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any progress along those lines.
ty Molly
er8 is what they do to veggies to kill bugs
thats too bad but at least she is improving health wise
hmmm, jmc, I would have spelled that ir + ra7. But that's just me :-)
i never said i could spell! lol
Indeed, river. I called my dad and left him a message, will try him again later to see if I can actually talk to him.
in fact i often mention that I cannot spell
Apparently, Enable can't spell either.
must be off to lunch - see you all later - happy babbling
not criticizing, jmc, just never seen the er word.
Off to make lunch. BBL.
bye, river!
that has often been my salvation molly

and they have known each other ten years and probably have a better idea of what they are gwtting into
Hi Nan.
hi nan
hi glan
sorry cyber dont have it
add vowel to prev te4
there was a nice mini-movie about them last week
Charles did not come off too well in it
other te5 is te + Ame*** Errhart
I think that's the te 5/10, mtl
montreal, where does that extra vowel go in thatte5/12?
when Charles becomes king, does Camilla become queen ??
also a 5/10, mtl
afraid so
doubt that will happen though
unless she agreed not to because she'd been married before...
there is te5 which is a pl colour
uld be a ot more behind William
(bristish spelling in deference to the day)
sorry te5/12 is te+ double vowel + cons.
also a 5/10, jmc
sry, half my text disappeared: i was saying" the country would be a lot more behind William
i imagine she will be a princess consort like prince albert
ty mtl -- that's the one!
why would Charles step aside ?
i am lost between the te clues
yw nan
Charles has done some things to change things--interesting to see all this after watching the Kings Speech
pe 6, please?
my fault, there are 3 te5/10 and 1 te 5/12
BTW Mrs Simpson and her hubby did not come off well at all in that one--not the greatest love story ever told as it is usually portrayed
i am missing the secon te5/10
got to go babblers
am off to the pub ;)
hf and syl (((((((((((()))))))))))
tc varum
bye varum
that is the one montreal just clued glan
bye varum
i think that's the te5/12 nan
2nd te5/10 add vowel at end of prev te4/4
Charles has supported a lot of great causes, worked hard and made great improvements in his own duchy -- I think he will make a good king.
ah. don't have that either! will work on it
hi all
i think he might do okay if he ever gets a chance
hi kalia
hi kalia
charles has crossed the line though - it is part of our unwritten constitution that the monarchy don't get involved in politicis
hi kallie
down to 2 -- the pe 6 and the il 7 -- any clues out there?
I wonder if he ever will get the chance? He may let William take over when the time comes?
hi Glan...like the hat...you been to a wedding :)
they used to as recently as Victoria
LOL
despite my best intentions i have been to a wedding - i got bribed with champagne so couldn;t drive home
i hope even if Charles becomes king he had the sense to let William take it over sooner rather than so late
tipi
ty for that one kallia
He has made some comments he probably should have kept to himself, but I don't think he has been as inappropriately outspoken as much as Philip
canoe and tyler too
ty kalia
yw JM
is anyone else having lag?
took me ages to get on to
not me
actually mad king george and victoria pulled the same stuff on their children
a little
I guess nobody has my missing words -- bbl

i couldn't get on earlier this morning kallia

took me more than an hour to get in this am...
anyway - gotta go - we are having a BBQ in the rain (which began the moment the BBQ was lit!)
see you all later
enjoy Glant
enjoy glant !
oh too bad at least it did rain on the wedding procession
champagne and bbq....
mmmmm champers and bbq

i was very impressed by the behavior of the little bridesmaids -- two were only 3 years old!
i thought prince charles looked good. hes one of these men who look better as they age
they looked cute
i agree, cos -- he's definitely improved
camilla looked gorgeous too.
yes - even Prince Philip didnt look too bad and he is getting on
yes!!
but i LOVED kate's mother's hat!
i loved the colour the queens outfit was
getting on? lol... he's 90. i think the Queen and Prince Philip look great.
her mom is really attractvie -- Pippa too

you squish a spider and you gets rain!
i went after it with a kleenex and it fell on the floor somewhere . . . oh well LOL
no more rain, please!!!

then you need to be kind to your spider friend

ugh cicadas... ugh i hate them

ACK! Icky Cicadas with beady red eyes! ACK!

I am graduated from law school more than 30 years ago, young
i havent been in high school for 14 years now
im ini 4 grade
somebody's selling bumper stickers: Sing, Mate. Die

i like cicadas as long as the numbers are with in reason
jmc, we have recordbreaking numbers in this region
we did here in 1990 when the 13 yr and 7 year cicadas hit the same year
I can already see holes in the ground but haven't seen the redeyed creepies yet
the sidewalks were black with them
i feel so sorry for all the brides who've planned outdoor weddings
jmc, last time around, I kept a broom at each door of my house!
crossy kisses the ground glad to be where plagues of cicadas do not happen....
cicadas wont be here til 2025 thank god
crossy LOL
several years after my husband died i was going through his legal files and found a file marked "cicadas"
sure enough it was full of cicada shells! lol
lord that man made me laugh
and the shells stay in your yard for YEARS
what did u do with them jmc?
back in a sec *poof*
hehe,i make the mrs laugh..even after 20 years,if you can still make your lady laugh so hard she almost toddles herself,then you know you are still doing fine;)
oh i threw them out--i really had no sentimental attachment to crumbling cicada shells
but i like think about it from time to time
tiddiles*
haha thats funny.. a nice memory to have
aww the shuttle was cancelled?
really? again?
actually.. delayed 72 hours
ah
kind of sad considering gabby giffords made the trip

How much longer have you got there jmc? your replacement settled in OK?

hahahahahahahaha! not on a bet
she will be at the big party on May 14 for International Conscientious Objector Day though
Sounds like you have good closure on this part of your life JMC. Good for you.
oh yeah I am just trying not to leave too many messes behind
the first ta6 please
*looks at clock again*
I thought Brere Rabbit fell into the tarpit?
fund it. nvm
br'er rabbit begged not to be throw into a brier patch
besides there is only one T being used twice in that word
oops - memories get distorted after 50 years
but he did get all stuck with the tar baby
tarpit?
back again, dinner in an hour (LGBT awards ceremony). Then around 9 pm I should get to go home :-)
in the grid tarpit starts and stops with the same T
hi Sue
wb uu
no it doesnt jmc
use the T in 4th row... and the last T in first row
No - you can start with the 4th row T and end in 1st row
oh you are right cosd i didnt see it could go up
had me confused for a sec.. :)
my mistake lynxxx i should have know you are infallible!
ppfftt
still not a word :-)
lol
Still not found in the dictionary, though (even though the La Brea ones are fascinating)
YAY I can put the hotline on night phone and go home to my jack!
i think it is two words uu
quick - run b4 the phone goes again!
the 2nd ti6 please
similar to the first, cos. add a vowel
it is, jmc, but wouldn't be the first 2-word compound to be acceptable to Enable
thanks ch12!
10 left now.
I got it on night phone so it can't ring now and i can leisurely get my stuff together and go
hi ch12!
yw. I'm blushing to ask, but do you have the last ap5/12? It's my final, and I've been monkeying everything. Hi jmc -- nice hat :)
related to sleep, ch12
sleep ap*** hurts your rest
grrr, I always miss that one! Thanks, cos.
yvw ch
ty ch12 I thought it was just the right touch for the wedding
whoo hooo ch12!
Congrats ch12121
bye all *poof*
oh wow.. didnt notice.. 2 left now
I must say, I was truly impressed with the entire affair. I particularly enjoyed the archbishop's sermon on marriage. (Oddly, as a type, I can hear a Brit accent ;)
fireworks
Ta ta, jmc!
Congrats, cos!
Congrats Cos!!
I rather suspect we are all honorary Brits today.
bye, jmc, and yay, cos!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well, and if the wedding had anything to do with my stepmom's recovery (see my profile) I will be eternally grateful to them :-)
Wow Sue - she would have surprised everyone
I am immature. Every time I see a fancy wedding like that, I keep expecting the officiant to say "Mah-widge"...ala "The Princess Bride".
certainly did, lynxxx!!
Sue, it's amazing what small sparks of life will instigate a person's physical recovery.
LOL Molly! I must add, our family genealogy does trace back to King David of Scotland. He was my 26x great-grandfather. So somewhere in there I get to officially be Brit -- at least for the day. ;)
Good movie
And Robert III was my 18x great-grandfather. Pity the family left -- who knows, I might have been there for the wedding!
But alas, laundry calls. Anyone need a clue before I head downstairs again? :)
with lineage like that perhaps you should have servants to do that
BBL
lol. Well, like I said, the family left to America circa 1610. And truly, we also claim the first Irishman to set foot in the Massachusetts Bay Colony -- as an indentured servant!
Now I am off to do the laundry. Have fun, everyone.
I am rather regretting starting this grid now that I am 100 word in...
pea n
Hi Red. I haven't had much time to devote to this grid today. Busy day at work and all that. I've just been trying to find a few words when I could take a break.
i dont think the grid is hard, I am just finding myself entirely not interested in completing it.
oops! sorry - finger slip. Too much red wine!
but maybe the last 100 words are hard?
<ears perk> Red wine?
Red wine? Its Champers on this auspicious day! Form an orderly queue, please......
*Never forms an orderly queue. Buts her way to the front of the line and holds out champagne glass*
Whew Moll. I thought I spoke/typed out of turn there...
*shoves Molly aside*
Not at all Soodle. And you have obviously already been into the champagne, as you are wearing a lamp shade/hat. "When life gives you lemons, buy Coronas." I LOVE IT!
Plenty for all.....
*Hands Sue her veryown bottle of champagne so she can quit shoving*
*sighs in relief*
*Cues up Don Ho's "Tiny Bubbles" *
Mizz L! I will have you know that my hat is a Philip Treacy creation! Lampshade, indeed!
*curls up in corner with bottle*
<---- sulking in corner over Lampshade reference :-(
wanna come to my corner, soodle?
noswaith dda pawb - good evening all - pass the champpagne please
Ahem, cough, sputter. But of course Soodle. Tres chic.
hi, glan!
hi sue
Bunch up, Sue :-)
Hiya Glan :-)
no problem, soodle :-)
Hi again Soodle
psssst - Molly - you can join us in the corner :-)
*Wonders who Phillip Treacy is. Is more familiar with designers for the other end of the body, like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutain.*
*has no familiarity with designers, and hates hats*
the man who designed most of the hats worn on foreheads today
Philip Treacy - Irish hatter!
victoria beckhams, princess eugenie and beatrice, tara palmer tommpkinson
My favorite fashion comment of the day was that Victoria Beckham looked like she was wearing cartoon shoes.
actually, hats are fine on other people, I just don't wear them myself
silly place to wear a hat
hats look really sillynon me but i could ge away with a fascinator
Okay, if that dude designed the hats on Eugenie and Beatrice, he needs some serious help.
Sheesh, I didn't see Posh's shoes! Her pout took all my attention.
I know Soodle. Seriously, does the woman ever smile?
they were ridiculously tall
il7?
Becks was looking good, though (droool)
I spotted six-inch spikes on several women at the wedding. HOW DO PEOPLE WALK IN THOSE?
oops - time for dinner. bbl!
first time i've seen him look passable LOL
Becks cleans up nicely, I'll give him that.
bye sue
I thought Pippa Middleton looked like a Goddess (and I'm not gay)!
i thought she looked better than her sister ;-)
anyone have the first li5,12?
What a figure!!
looking for that at the moment fward
Is there a "more British" name than Pippa? She looked amazing.
Sorry Faith, not got there yet.
pe 6/24 plz
li 5/12 is kind of like a reptile without the /z/.
seems like i've been looking forever for that one!
li5/12 - add a consonant to the preceding li4
Plural of the li4/5
That li5 is a plural???
thank you!
li5 is pt li6 is pl
Lovely clue, JeeWhiz.
Definition says li5/12 is a coin
may well be but i thought pt would get you there
has anyone clued the il7?
no
*Opens another bottle of champagne. Begins singing a rousing chorus of "God Save The Queen" *
il 7 is a disease of the digestive tract.
Oh God, they are getting rowdy in the cheap seats. Molly, put the cork back in the champagne bottle, and settle down.
Oh God, they are getting rowdy in the cheap seats. Molly, put the cork back in the champagne bottle, and settle down.
On the double!
can we have some elderflower champagne please?
very british and non alcoholic
*Wonders when Soodle started behaving like a Nun*
lmao any spare glasses and straws?
I wonder the very same thing myself, Moll!! ROFL
Hop in, Snoop.... Chilled Champagne here....
strawberries anyone and thanks
*Begins writing the screenplay for "How Soodle Got Her Groove Back*
brings Pimms to the party, nd thin cucumber sandwiches (crustless, or course)
Now THATS something I wanna see! Who are you going to get to play the main role, Moll?
Catherine Zeta Jones of course. Your twin sister.
Oh Glant, I love Pimms! Thank you.
no, she's welsh so she must be my twin sister
(Cheshire-Cat grin on Soodles fizzog.) I heartily approve!
You are thinner than her Soodle, so we may have to ask her to drop a few.
clue for ei5?
Spanish goodbye with different first letter.
ei5 - ei + spanish two
Oh, and mix it up a bit.
Thanks!
My clue was dyslexic. Buzz's was better.

ap5 sleep issues
sorry, erica; I don't have it yet
but I know that word! Thanks, lynxxx!
thank you, lynxxx.
sorry for the rough greeting, nef! I hope this babble session finds you well.
Hi
morning Infernal
doing okay, erica. And how about you?
Hi Heron
GEEZ! Hi herin!!
well, thank you.
HOwdy
maybe my spelling is why I'm not doing so well so far; I have 150 left to find
Awww
no, its a long boring grid with way too many vowels making horrid little vowelly words/ends...as well as the odd impossible word
I was just saying that Apple just realised its iphone 4 to spite me
Thanks lynxx. Enjoy the weather will it lasts as it is going to be horrid next week
oh great.
I'm still looking for some nice weather here.
we probably shouldn't complain...think the US has complaining rights on weather at the moment - frightful
Next week is going to be Horrid
And we still don't have a heater
Lynxx I have been so worried about the US friends
really? do you have open fires?
You rent - isn't some form of heating an obligation?
I keep forgetting that you are the opposite of us and you're just going into winter!
I rent. But the thing is we are waiting for a repair person.
I'd be calling the agent every day
How long must you wait?
No idea. We don't have an agent. B.f is organising it through work
Hard to push along 'favours' - the owner won't attend to it - or let you get it repaired and take it off your next rent payment?
Last word re6.24 re & too cute black/white bears ****a
What weather are you expecting next week, herin? Blizzards, rain, cold or???
Bye everyone - enjoy the grid - if you can!
YAY, lynxxx! WTG!!!
I have really bad internet connection
fireworks here
YAY, WV!! WTG!!!!
last word ad 5/10 - french for good bye - good night all
I would like my internet to work
herin, it sounds like you need to move: no heat; poor internet connection= time to move
No hun more like stop downloading so much crap
LOL! Then the slow connection is your fault?
We have one day left and then it will reload
Yes it is. We both got new iphones and went a little silly
Oh, MY! That IS a little silly!
It is mostly because I have an internet dongle and bad connections between that and my poor computer has broken usb ports
Hey, herin! It sounds like you need a whole bunch of stuff fixed now
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi Min
My USB ports are stuffed but that is ok. HI MIni. Miss seeing you about
il7?
Don't have it sorry

Hi Min and thanks
yw
hi again, all, finally home!
Hi Sue
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi, herin and min! I am doing well. Happy to be home. Long week.
How goes it?
Interesting development with my stepmother:
Well, they were going to try to wean my stepmother off the ventilator today or tomorrow, but she pulled the tubes out herself last night. AND......she is fine! Was sitting up in bed watching the wedding when my stepson went in to visit her. Go figure :-)
We'll see how long she stays fine, but so far so good.
O taht is great Sue
E's Expelled! 6 left
go, min!
joy the antibiotics I am on is making my tongue go funnny
sue, I'm happy to hear that she pulled her own tube out and is doing werll. Let's hope that if she gets into trouble again they will remember she's a DNR
that's weird, herin!
what do you mean your tongue is going funny herin?
I can't taste things properly
thx, nef, it was quite a surprise!
is it swelling; or is it masking the taste of food?
No it just tastes like I have no taste buds. LIke when you burn your tongue or eat fake sugar stuff
sue, after working in ICU for 34 years; I always hated if a patient pulled out their breathing tube; but if they had a DNR and were accidentally intubated and put on an vent; we were pretty much screwed
A's asserted! 5 left
oh, good herin! If your tongue was swelling, that's a bad sign -it means you are allergic to the medication. If your sense of taste changes; that is just a temporary thing and it will come back once you are done with the med
Go, go Min!!
indeed, nef; on the other hand she is still with us and apparently alert. Not that I expect her to recover enough to go home, ever, although I've been surprised by her several times already!
lady, is there anyone with you? sometimes the taste of things is "off" just before I have a major anaphylactic reaction. Don't hesitate to call for help if you you have any other symptoms.
oh, and hello all. I am finally home and able to watch the wedding.... her dress is SO lovely!
Sometimes I've seen people recover and go home; other times they have a short reprieve and then pass away, sue
hi stid
Hi all, how is Babbleland tonight?
Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I know, nef; at this point I would not be surprised either way. I am just glad I got to see her last weekend.
Hello wht! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
and hi, stid and wht!
hello Min -- how are you this evening?
Stid I am taking good care of myself though thank you for caring
hi wht
I am well. I am almost done with grid. Five words left.
Doing fine. I have 46 left to finish this puzzle.
that's 70 words and NBT. back again tomorrow! *poof*
bye, stid!
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log.
100 here. I'm being distracted by History Channel tonight
I am being distracted by two very loud barking dogs.
oh dear, Min! Are they yours and why are they barking?
I am watching sister's dog for the weekend and she's a yapper and then she gets my dog all riled up as well.
oh boy! It sounds like you may need earplugs soon!
Does someone have a clue for the pi5,14, after the statue by Michelangelo?
rice dish, wht
nm, just found it.
ty uu
Great I stand up for my oldest and dearest friend and they treat me like crap
well, that sucks, herin, what happened?
I stood up for my girl as this person made a really intimate comment on her fiancées FB page. He defriended me and didn't even say why. I have been worried about them and sent them phone messages and calls and nothing
oh, herin {{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Honestly I told him if someone left that kind of message on my b.f's page I would kick their arse too
I mean who the hell leaves a message in a public forum saying ''Well if you need a place you can always come to mine''. Making it seem like it is his partners fault.
I often wonder why people say very personal messages on FB. I mean, there are some things that shouldn't be printed , shown, or seen in public and people treat it as being no big deal
Indeed. One thing I do with my UNIV 101 (intro to college) class is pull things off their facebook pages (without names), just to show what an employer could find.
I have been friends with this girl for 7 years.
A clue for the ra6,18 please.
Seriously, herin; you may have lost a friend even though I'd agree with your thinking.
ra6/18 = rodent + how many ***ms on your list?
If I would say it to defend my partner I would so kick their arse too and yes Sue I have read some things that potential employers would not find good
ty uu. I was just not seeing that bottom right t.
I have a niece who is so inappropriate that I send her personal msgs. all the time telling her that that isn't something a *normal* person would put in public
Personally...I defriend people who are more inappropriate in text than they are 'normal'
evening all
been a long day
Hi pini
Hi Pin. Also I am 34 this year not 14 so I do not need this shtuff
hi Pini. This niece hasn't had much direction from her parents; they were drunks and promiscuis when she was young. I try to give her some pointers if I can
Sorry, Nef...didn't mean to imply defriending applies to misguided children...just to those (usually adults) who just don't care...
...I guess I just don't need to be reminded that they don't give a crap (pardon my french)
adults are something else. I have defriended some rude adults
do you think that because it is the internet that people think it's okay to be rude?
hi ya'll
hi, pini!
In some ways, lbd...I think the net gives people a false sense of "distance"...
hi uu
I think so. But this person that she is marrying I am the bridesmaid and one of her oldest friends. Sorry but don't piss on my pack and not expect repercussions.
Hi Lb
hi lbd. I think some people don't think of consequences when they are stupid like that
hi UU, Pini, Nef and Herin. I think the media age has allowed people to leave manners in a box
I wonder, herin, if the relationship between you is as strong as you think it is OR she's going through some stuff (without support) that is leading her to make misguided mistakes
hi, lbd!
Hard to tell what people are thinking sometimes; they seem to forget that writing isn't the same as speaking, and that written words don't go away.
No I think that there is a lot of stuff going on that I do not need to be told about nor published. I will defend my friends. I really am too old and tired for b.s
I hope your friend realizes what a good friend she has in you, herin.
I feel for you Herin; and I feel for your friend. This doesn't sound like a healthy marriage
I'm not sure it's just the internet that has made people lose their manners...I think its because, as generations move forward, rules and regulations seem to replace respect and integrity with angst, stupidity and rudeness
I hope she see's the light soon, herin!
amen to that, Pini. cell phones are the bane of my existence right now. i'd like to cram them where the sun don't shine on some of my customers
te5, 12 please
te + vowel + freud's little friend
Sorry, wht. I don't have it
Personally manners is dead. You give money to a homeless person you get looked at like you are insane.
ty lbd. That is fireworks for me.
whoooo hoooooo WHT!!!
wtg wht
woohoo I think i fixed my internet
grats, herin
wtg, herin!
wtg herin. But how did you get here without it?
yay, wht!
and good for you fixing your internet, herin!
must be finding my pillows. see you all tomorrow.
My internet is usb connection at the moment but my usb ports are bodgy. Just put it into an outside port
night lbd ;)
oh UU, found a game on msn.com called icebreaker. based on physics. thought of you when i started playing it.
night lbd
night Pini, *poof*
Good work herin
Night LB
*slips in to say night night to wht and herin too*
I'll have to check it out, lbd! Thanks!
I feel like sending a message out at work with the link for Time Management Ninja. People seriously need to get their time skills.
Congratulations wht on your fireworks! Good for you
Sorry, I had a phone call. Congrats to wht and lbd!
What is Time Management Ninja, herin?
It is a time management site
It is really good
might have to check it out! :)
it is really helpful. Has helped me out with work
My major time management issue is playing Babble when I should be working.

Thanks uusue2 and wht. Working on a story of clues.
wtg min
Thanks Pinikula! Once again, should've waited for you
not tonight, min...have 74 left and not sure I'm interested in finishing...been a long day
That is a very cool flame you got going there Pinikula!
The icon is in honor of one of our local police officers who was killed in the line of duty last friday (memorial service today)...
...almost 500 emergency response officers participated in the motorcade
Oh Pinikula,I'm so sorry to hear that! How many killed
YAY, Min! WTG! (*I'm* lagging tonight worse than my computer!)
...many local, but one from as far away as Chicago and the Royal Mounted Police (Canada) were part of the honor guard
I have a question please
Just one officer was killed...a motorcycle officer on his way home...
...pulled a vehicle over and the driver shot him before eluding police on a chase for about an hour.
yes, herin?
So tragic, pini
Ok I saw a picture of the Tornado victims there was a first response guy carrying a child. I do want to know what has happened since
I've never observed a motorcade in person before; I was moved more than I thought I would be...many of the officers in the vehicles were red-eyed...it was an emotional day
The only thing I can think of, herin, is to find out where the photo was taken (which tornado-stricken area) and watch for news clips and/or contact one of the local news stations for assistance?
It is something that has haunted me since seeing it
It is time for me to turn in. Good night all.
night wht
Night What
I wish I could be of more help, herin...not really sure how to pursue
Goodnight wht! I'll see you tomorrow in this chat log.
good night wht
night min ;)
Night Nef
night wht
I saw it about 2 days ago.
thanks, herin. I need to go to bed (this grid keeps putting me to sleep anyway)
(sorry, koda needs a moment and I think the neighbor dogs have been taken inside - finally) ... brb
night nef ;)
good night all. :-)
Hey Koda
Pini: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/w orld/us-bunkers-down-as-twisters-ravag e-south/story-e6frg6so-1226046514228 this is the image
(checking before I go out)
Such a sad but warming photo...I wonder if there really is a way to find out. If there is, it will definitely take a good amount of time since the whole area is still underneath...
(now...brb)
night, all! I agree, about the photo, herin and pini!
Goodbyue uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog
I just saw it and I was like wow there needs information about this kid
It reminds me so much of the images from September 11. Were the F do you start
In li 4/5 of cluing in the chat log,I will offer a story of clues for you to re4/5.My husband suffers from sleep ap 5/12. I have tried to get him to goto a sleep clinic but he won't da 4/5 go. I also told hubby he should go on a di4/5 and lose weight. Hubby is ra5/14ly gaining weight. Husband ea 4/4 the worst food and he si 4/4 and drinks beer every night. He thinks that going on a di4/5 is not such a ne 4/4 idea either. If he pa 4/5 more attention to his health, he would not be in such bad shape. Husband's health has really sl4/5 over the past few years. I feel like my hubby is sl4/5ping away from me with his drinking. I can't st 5/12 it! I just st 5/10 at my husband in disbelief as he drinks one beer right after another. When I try to talk to him about his bad health, he just sn4/5s at me. Hubby tells me I drink too much so4/5 which is bad for me. Da4/5! He wants computer. I have to bid you ad5/14 for now. I hope you found more words to add to your li4/4.I am going to go cuddle w/my dog who is ne4/4by with his head ti4/4ed waiting for the sound of my footsteps.I will see you tomorrow maybe.Goodnite to all babblers!
Thank you Min.
Thanks Min
Hey GA how is it going?
Hello gapeach1066! How are you?Welcome to the grid
yw
back
Hello Pinikula! How are you? Welcome back to the log.
Front
Pini I wrote to that paper
keep me posted, herin
I will do. It was just one of those things that stuck in my head
I know what you mean
Everything here is much better than the other night. We were so very fortunate not to have been in the tornado's path. I looked outside around 3:30AM and the trees were twirling around from the force of the wind.....lightening was frighteningly beautiful. I went to bed around 6:00AM and the rain was coming down in torrents. But we were spared.
thx for the story, min
yw Pinikula
good to hear, peach
gapeach1066, do you live in Alabama. Glad you're safe
O good GA. Is everyone you know safe?
No, hon, we live in GA about a hundred miles from the coast.
was watching the news a few minutes ago and a man was describing what it was like -- he had 2 dogs on leashes and they survived but he said they were airborne like kites
oh my, une
Yes, herin. I keep in daily contact with friends in KY who have been through two really bad ones in the past. I don't remember having tornados there and I grew up and lived there for 38 years. Weather is really changing.
Hi Uneaixoise!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
I can't even imagine a mile plus wide tornado
brb
I used to live in one of the tornado alleys (Kansas); we spent many a night in the cellar
so many stories of people's generosity -- on our 6:00 news there was a man from Alabama who came thru the tornadoes ok but he drove his truck to Tennessee to buy generators to take back to give to an elderly woman living alone, a young woman who's husband is serving in Afghanistan, etc.
*whose
Isn't it amazing what people are capable of when a tragedy strikes? I wish 'we' could be that way all the time...makes ya think...
no electricity in many place for at least another week
I am watching a video of the tornado now on U-Tube.
yes, there are quite a few that have been posted -- mindboggling
brb
I was as prepared....well, to be best of my ability....took pillows, bottled water and flash lights into one of the bathrooms...had the dogs leashes out....the dogs wouldn't leave my side.....they started acting strangely a couple of hours before it got here.
glad you 're ok, peach
Thanks, you too, Unea.
Going to check email and facebook....be back for the flip. Good luck y'all
later, peach
Bye gapeach1066! I will see you tomorrow in the chog
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow
Night mine
nite, min
Hi Une
hey :-)
Is there a list at all?
yep, regular lickety list
cheers]
do u not have new expert??
have never used expert
back, side, and front
ok
<-- love expert!
Just don't think I will finish with out tonight
me either, herin
I have the most awesomest hot chocolate
I wouldn't mind that if I didn't have a headache!
It is using Ibara chocholate
sounds nice
How is your thumb doing, Pini?
soooooo much better, BR!!! all better now :)
it is Ibarara chocolate
How are your waters, BR?
Stress headache?
More "exhaustion" I think
Hi BR
The water is slowing receding... so far so good. Winds have been in the high twenties with gusts. ... good for drying the saturated soil.
O gosh BR I hoep you and yours are ok
Your job is exhausting?
good to hear, BR...might get to lower the hammock soon after all...makes getting into it all that much easier ;)
Hello, herin ... doing fine ..
Sorry, no...exhausting day...memorial service for an officer killed in the line of duty last friday
This was near your Daughters house ? Pini
<-- didn't go to work today because of the motorcade...staging and start very close to my house and several streets were closed; then watched the live-feed of the memorial
Sorry too .... so easy to forget people are still dying ... real people with families
Herin, this was part of the chase that was taking place (toward my dau's home) that I was speaking of last friday; we didn't know he lost his life until late friday night; she made it home safely
Ok I do remember reading that that is why I asked. SO sad.
He was 43 yrs old; left a wife and 2 daughters (11 and 4)
I really don't like people at times
The woman who shot him was caught and is in custody; she's also confirmed that she shot him
hello all
hi cos
Hi Cos
lOLs at photo Cos
best you could find, cos? *grin*
awkward pose! lol
love the little girl's face behind them
I loved her reception dress pity Cowmilla spoiled the shot
btw: how rude would it be to go around to the neighbors behind me and ask them to manage their dogs in such a way that Koda could actually spend time outside in the yard without being taunted and barked at the whole time he's there?
missed that one, herin
not very rude.
not sure why she's covering her ears, cos :)
No it wouldn't Pini. It sounds like their dogs are a little untrained
I do not think it would be rude... however, I doubt it will do any good.
should be her eyes haha
Because these days most people are right assholes
If I do make that effort though, would it then be appropriate to ask the City for any municipal rulings that might be applicable?
Yes
If yo have made the effort to ask them to keep their dogs in check why not
I mean, there's one dog behind and one house over that incesently (sp) barks...and I've found a muni code that 15 minutes must past before calling for assistance.
* pass
<-- Koda is a good dog! He doesn't bark unless taunted! Honest! ...and, since he's usually in the house so he can't be taunted, he's exceptionally good!
It is called common sense and common courtesy which people lack these days.
...but it sure would be nice to make sure he can do his 'business' outside!
ok...off my rants for this evening...
Do it, Pini. I have a friend who fosters rescued dogs. Her house is across the alley from an apartment complex. Many living in the apartments let their dogs out and pay no attention to what they do. The apartment managers do not even require the dog owners to clean up after the dogs.
Will do, BR...I think trying to talk with them is the least I can do before going to the 'authorities'
That is gross BR
...as for cleaning up after the dogs...perhaps a pile should be placed on the manager's doorstep
oh, wait...did I say that out loud?
I was reading that some complexes require you to declaw your cat. I was like hell no
small grid coming up...97
Stupid Human Vet told me to get rid of the cats as they were affecting my asthma
I would like a large grid please
Getting information about the rights and obligations of the dog owners does not qualify as going to the authorities in my view. It is good to know what you can do if reasonable discussion is to no avail.
Someone was reported for a non stop barker around here. I didn't know a thing about it
So true, BR, so true...I will become informed and take appropriate action (if there is any)
Sadly most people don't give a crap these days and they wonder why the kids are obnoixious little turds
goes back to my earlier comment this evening about 'respect'
Done -- finished, and my last words, I'm ashamed to say, was ti5/10 and it spl -- the one I always miss and shouldn't because it's the name of our first Dane after whom our kennel was named!
wtg jilli
Sorry Pini people don't get that these days. I was given the evil glare of doom for not giving up my seat to an elderly person. Mind you there was a spare seat available AND i was still sick not that you could tell
ugh 14 mins? ugh. ill be back after a run to 711 for sprite
sorry about the typos -- it's Friday night after Happy Hour. I stayed up to watch the whole wedding and went to bed after the second kiss at about 5 am. Slept till 1 pm.
jill did u see the pose they did in my icon?
Who got married? Anyone important?
William and Kate
thx for that one, jilli
must be celebrities...?
Pardon my charming nature tonight long day yesterday was long
English royalty
Royality not Celebraties big differnce.
prince william and the newly titled duchess catherine of cambridge
ah, time for the world to outgrow the notion of "royal"
Gremlin coming from someone in the country that worships whores of media
I don't worship anyone, personally
touche herin :)
i for one prefer the royals over paris, snooki, lindsay, et al
he's not a prince anymore, is he? Aren't they now know as His and Her Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge?
the very notion is obscene
bbc said william would also keep his title of prince
but it would make more sense to go with the duke title because of his wife
No I said IN as in Lives in. A country that appears more concerned when Oprah is retiring, Paris has had a court date for a stalker and Charlie Sheen is being a moron than 300 plus dead from Tornados, an economy in the toliet and New Orleans still in the crap from Katrina where poor people suffer (IE after Katrina) more than rich (Ie after the Fires in Cali)
get assistance.
not sure why disparaging the notion of "royalty" is an assault on a country that deserves recompense
TV shows like "My Super Sweet 16" should be banned and those kids should be taught that the money they would have spent on their "parties" could have gone to better use by helping others
I pretty much keep away from TV except for sports and occasionally news
Agreed Pini but while we're banning shows lets ban jersey shore... why Snooki, Pauly D and the sitch are stars now? f***king embarrassing
PLEASE, COS! Just put me out of my misery on those!!!
No one forces anyone to watch.
hello
true, BR...I do avoid them...
No you compaired Royals to Celebraties which are mostly money grubbing media whores
so, I'm going with just a 97 size today
...there are better things to absorb
Years ago, my therapist would ask me whether it is more important to be friends or be right.
pinik do you think they crae or know the value of a dollar??
why are they not celebrities?
absolutely not, mlf
i would say at least that grem
let me just check the definition really quickly
flip time soon yay
agreed cos
then i can go watch dr who the movie
I replied ... smarty that I am .. it is better to be with the right friends
oh, out of time, perhaps later
I was just trying to figure out how to say just that without being offensive, BR!
howdy all guessing 210
