i know it's early, but i'd love a clue on the o,if any one is still up

1:54 am

ou6/21 - where bargains may be had or a means of escape/exit.

1:55 am

ot5/10 - get a vowel wrong on a water loving animal.

1:55 am

smack, thanks Haz! as always, you rock!

1:55 am

You're welcome.

1:55 am

The 8 starts from that tile as well.

1:57 am

well, for nbt all i need is the 2nd from the bottom row, middle column E

1:58 am

nm, got it when I said Yippee!

1:58 am

g'nite, and hope to finish tomorrow

1:58 am

What does nbt stand for?

1:59 am

Bye, jbp.

2:00 am

It stands for No Blank Tiles, meaning that the player has at least one word from every tile from which a word comes. Some people aim for it, others don't care.

2:01 am

Ah, thanks.

2:06 am

And when someone declares NBS it means No Blank Stats, meaning that they've found at least one word of every length in the grid. Again, a made up thing.

2:41 am

good morning every1

3:09 am

fireworks!

3:10 am

easy grid today :D

3:10 am

i think I am alone, but I will ask: any1 wants a clue?

hello everyone :))

5:28 am

Hi guys!

everyone is alseep!

asleep even

5:30 am

hello?

5:30 am

anybody home?

hi ruby!!

**hugs** !!

5:31 am

hello mrp!

5:32 am

hi mrp and ruby

hi wildcat :)) terri is online too

she is one of my besties!

5:34 am

hi wildcat!

5:34 am

grid going fast

5:34 am

how close are the fires, WC?

what fires???

5:36 am

in Texas, Wilcat lives in the same city as my son

that is just aweful!!

hope you are ok

I heard about floods and fires across the US... looks horrendous

5:37 am

we're fine here. nothing threatening the city at this point

5:38 am

this place has the most clement climate

5:38 am

my son's SIL had to evacuate her ranch outside of Austin, fire was about a mile away

thank goodness wildcat

that is just scary ruby!

we lost a heck of a lot of people in our fires last year... whole towns and families wiped out.... i pray for you all

5:40 am

they seem to be all around us. rain expected today might help

*doing a rain dance*

5:42 am

bad drought here, too, but it is drizzling now, so rain dances seem to work

terri is concentrating!! come chat darling

good ruby!

My dad is also having 3 months without rain

5:46 am

we had a hug amt of snow, all at once, in December and then no precip whatsoever in Jan and Feb

5:46 am

huge*

5:46 am

I am concentrating so hard! I'm an English teacher and find myself staring at the grid or monkeying! Arg!!

I have some news to share... and as babble friends, I love that you listen...

5:49 am

holding breath......

i wanted to write a letter to my mum, who I haven't seen in 15 years

and I sent a copy of it to my dad first to see if he thought it was ok (they are divorced, very bad divorce) cause I wanted to say goodbye to my mum

5:50 am

what did he say?

he told me not to send it to her, and he was very sad that I felt the way I did about her and the feelings I have held in for so many years... I argued that I wanted her to know how I felt and that I wanted to say thanks for giving me life but adious

5:53 am

I think that maybe you need to do what feels right for you. It is, after all, between you and your mother. NOT saying the things you need to say will only haunt you later

he then rang me and told me to sit down.... he had something to tell me. I haven't stopped crying since. It was just the most awful, most vicious, most evil thing I had ever heard, and I just cried my eyes out cause I know that I am half my mother... and am very very scared I would be like her.

5:53 am

My advice about letters is always the same. Keep it for a week. If you still think it needs to be sent, send it.

5:54 am

{{molly}}

5:55 am

that sounds terrible, mrp! I hope you are OK. What you didn't need at this time was an "unload" from your dad!

hi Molly **hugs**

what dad told me, I couldn't believe!! I was in shock!! total shock... terri can tell you how bad I was

If I send the letter, I am getting off my chest everything that I need to to say goodbye and luv you as a mother but can't have a relationship.

5:57 am

I would send the letter, just to make you feel better

however, if I send the letter, I am opening her to vengefulness and this is where it gets very complicated....

5:57 am

I don't think it's up to anybody else to decide what you feel in your heart

5:58 am

must go now, see you later

5:59 am

big hugs for MRP!

bye ruby!! see you on lex darling

**hugs** back to you ruby!! luvs ya

I just typed in a word, that now that I look at it, I can't see how it is found in the grid! lol

<--- cannot comprehend not liking strawberries

8:35 am

maybe if I put enough cream on them....

8:35 am

oh, now i get it! ty, jess!

8:36 am

ty jess

8:36 am

phew :)

8:36 am

how about ta 7/28?

8:36 am

mini pastry

8:36 am

only have ta7/32....

8:37 am

((ruby))

8:37 am

aaah, maybe I could use strawberries on that

8:37 am

stats for the u?

8:37 am

ur5/12

8:37 am

{{crossy}}

8:37 am

ur 5/12

8:37 am

thx, jess!

8:38 am

yw

8:38 am

ruby, you could crush the strawberries and add them to the martini...

8:38 am

I was just thinking that I could put them in the blender with some rum

8:39 am

that too :-)

8:39 am

like a strawberry dacquiri

8:39 am

do you think it would curdle cream?

8:39 am

anyway nbs and nbt for me, also over half way

8:40 am

it might, ruby, strawberries aren't very acidic but they are a little

8:40 am

this may have some potential....

8:40 am

i'll try for that ta 7/28 later--anyone need a clue?

8:40 am

otherwise, I'll make some jam and give it as gifts

8:41 am

fresh strawberry jam is fantastic!

8:41 am

ta7/28 is the mini pastry foam

8:42 am

that's it!! thanks again, jess! you gave me fireworks!

8:42 am

and it should be easy as the berries are very clean

8:42 am

congrats foam! glad to help

8:42 am

yay, foam!

8:42 am

the hardest one is red currant jelly -- takes hours to clean and grind

8:43 am

congrats flower!

8:43 am

:)

8:43 am

and with that, if no one needs a clue, i'm off...

8:43 am

<--- still has elderberries in the freezer from two years ago waiting to be made into jam

8:44 am

we have two elderberry trees but they are just for the birds; actually I'm not sure that they're elderberries

8:44 am

what do the berries (and flowers) look like?

8:44 am

the berries are small and dark blue

8:45 am

the flowers are small, white and very lovely scent

8:45 am

oh no, I guess husband is wrong; ours are orange!

8:45 am

whatever these are, the birds are happy!

8:45 am

and they are more like a bush than a tree

8:45 am

berries come in clusters

8:46 am

I think he just mis-translated this tree when we got it or perhaps he wants me to eat them uh oh

8:46 am

here's a link to a good photo (at least this is what mine look like): http://www.sierrapotomac.org/W_Needham /Elderberry_061106.htm

8:47 am

thank you. Maybe I'll put some nightshade in his next fruit salad

8:48 am

shouldn't eat them raw but cooked they are fine

8:48 am

Hello Everyone :)

Whoosh...Monkey...in and out like the wind...

9:27 am

Hi Sadie

9:28 am

for two days now I find all the words form the clue list and tehn end up with a word missing from the Tile Stats. Today it says that I mave only 18 of the 19 t words. Now what?

9:29 am

Hi Molly

inge are you using Babble Expert? If so, maybe try sending words to Babble again

9:33 am

It sounds like Babble Expert has been unstable lately

9:34 am

I have 3 5u. 2xtr, 6xto 8xte. 11 x ta.

oh, didn't know, I haven't had any problems with it...knock on wood

9:34 am

what a sweet doggie, luv. sorry for your loss.

thanks Leslie, yes she was a great dog and I miss her a lot

9:35 am

golden retriever? shepherd mix?

she was a humane society dog and I was just told a spaniel mix.

she had such distinctive coloring both eyes and fur were reddish color

9:37 am

Thanks, that worked; firewords here

WTG inge!

have you been enjoying the wonderful weather here in Michigan the last few days, inge?

9:38 am

oh ok. she is probably smaller than appears in the pic. rescue dogs are the best, they appreciate you more i think.

9:38 am

wtg inge!

9:38 am

we have had a total of seven rescue dogs here, presently have four boxers all rescue and all seven have been very loving dogs

I think so too, Leslie. She was about 35 lbs. The picture is out of proportion due to having to shrink it to fit the icon

9:39 am

wow never a dull moment at your house, eh sadie?

yes I'm going to try to find another dog that way when I'm ready to get another dog

9:39 am

nope there isnt leslie lol

9:40 am

it is a good way to get one leslie and as said they are very loving and appreciative of their new home...may need a bit of training but that is with any dog

I saw a cute video online yesterday. There was a statute of a man sitting on a bench and a dog kept bringing it his stick for him to throw and couldn't understand why he wouldn't play with him and throw the stick

9:41 am

patience and love shown them gains huge rewards

I agree sadie

9:42 am

i foster dogs here, it's amazing how easily they acclimate to a loving home

how many dogs do you typically have at a time, Leslie?

9:43 am

oh yea they do alot of them havent been shown love before and they respond quickly

9:43 am

i only foster one at a time. but there are other folks who do several at once.

well with 26 left I need to go take my walk before it gets too warm. Take care and bbl

9:44 am

in my profile - the yellow lab is mine but the black lab and boxer mix are the last two we placed.

9:45 am

9:46 am

hope it is boiling so you can go to sleep!! :)

5:47 pm

night babbleland

5:52 pm

G'night little!

6:15 pm

Anyone else still here?

6:17 pm

I'm here

hi cat

6:17 pm

hi owl

6:17 pm

Hi wild.

6:17 pm

hi mich

hi mich

6:18 pm

Hi. TO. I discovered a Temple ball in my house, the kind that you give kids to play with so they won't hurt themselves or anything else. I cannot figure out how it got here!

oh wow

6:19 pm

I went to Temple Ambler in 1978/79, but it cannot be from then!

6:19 pm

Weird

i was just there last weekend for a plant sale

live right near

6:20 pm

Lovely. Where do you live?

within three or four miles north

6:21 pm

Imagine. When I went there it was still very much farmland. If I had early enough classes, I had to drive carefully to avoid deer. I am sure it is all built up now.

yes but the deer stayed

was once a farm

6:23 pm

That is so good to hear. So many housing projects in country-turned-urban areas have deprived wildlife of their homes - de facto killing them out.

well it is not a peaceful coexistence. i had an encounter

6:24 pm

With a deer? That could be scary. Were you hurt?

6:25 pm

clue for the MO5?

no ty. but my car as. very scary. and several close calls.

6:26 pm

Add a vowel to the mo4 before it.

6:26 pm

That is scary. You have to drive so carefully, being on the lookout all the time.

6:27 pm

Thank Gd you weren't hurt.

6:27 pm

I don't think I have that specific MO4...hmmm

6:27 pm

Back to the grid. Does anyone have the 1st mo4??

6:27 pm

Oh. I did. nm

they cross at the road that comes out of th edevelopment into the main road. one started to come out then just fell back, on its side.

6:27 pm

the tv clicker re****

i have the speck as the first

6:28 pm

Why had it been hit or shot or something?

6:28 pm

Got thanks

no it. very odd saw/heard the car and aborted takeoff. quite odd

6:29 pm

I guess they've learned how to avoid car encounters.

not really, it is the himans who have to do that. anyone have the first ou6?

6:30 pm

Clue for the ra6 that's not a baby's toy?

nm ty

6:31 pm

Another word for telling on someone

hi all :)

6:31 pm

There are 2 words for that in this grid

6:31 pm

Hi MrP

6:31 pm

I have 3 ra6 that start with the same 4 letters, gadget

6:31 pm

and hi, everybody!

6:32 pm

back from the lavender graduation celebration (for the LGBT students), now more grading.

hi mrp, hi uu

6:32 pm

but at least all the exams are over!!!!!!!!!!

why fight for rights then self segregate?

holy crap all but 20 or so words disappeared from lickety's page!

6:33 pm

well, they attend the regular graduation too, this is just a smaller celebration (the regular graduation is a huge madhouse, and all sorts of groups have smaller parties as well)

6:34 pm

Do you at6 all the groups' grads, UU?

ty that leaves one at word

6:35 pm

and it's for LGBT students, and allies, and anyone who is earning the LGBT studies certificate, etc

6:35 pm

no, just the ones I'm affiliated with (I'm the faculty advisor for the LGBT student group on campus)

how is everyone?? happy and healthy I hope!! :)

6:36 pm

we have a separate event for the physics graduates, which I also attended

6:36 pm

doing well, mrp! How is your foot?

i just sent friends requests on FB to a bunch of you ladies... hope you happy to befriend me...

I am in a boot!! didy you see the break on my flickr photo?? in my bio

6:37 pm

I'm in a boot too mrp!

i have the BEST appointments tomorrow for football and want to referee... I am going to try.

ph hel mr p, what did you do now?!

6:38 pm

well, be careful of it - you don't want it to get any worse!!!

can you run in your boot wildcat??

6:38 pm

not well. it's not pretty

owl, I was running backward during reffing and stepped into a divet ... broke my long bone from my middle toe

6:39 pm

I am driving with it but don't tell shhhhhhhhh

me too wildcat!! don't tell either!!

sounds very painful :(

6:39 pm

:)

i cannot find the final ta word *bangs head on keyboard*

indeed owl, but I am drugged up with endone/oxycodine for when I ref... my 'healing' vitamins

6:41 pm

ta what?

i will do only 6 hours of running this weekend and have the rest of the week to rest in the boot

that's strong stuff

6:42 pm

"only 6 hours of running on it" she says ... you'll never heal at that rate

6:43 pm

Ahh Firesparks. Off to bed - finally.

6:43 pm

Ahh Firesparks. Off to bed - finally.

6:43 pm

Good night!!

6:43 pm

congrats and nite mich!

yay mich

yay mich

missing final ta4

6:44 pm

Thanks all, enjoy your evenings!

6:44 pm

Another word for tight

6:46 pm

yay, mich!

owl, you remember the good old days of me in hospital on 240mg oxycontin a day???

believe me when I say 20mg of oxycodine helps... it is like taking a panadol (and panadol does help most people, but not me).

I am also taking voltarin to help the swelling

i would not exactly refer to them in those terms

well 2 stinking words left. i need to go to sleep, big day tomorrow

I have found a great site: www.justanswer.com. I have gotten the best medical advice from them... it is fantastic and have specialists that answer questions immediately

niters owl (sleep well hugs)

not going until finished if it kills me

6:52 pm

what do you need owl?

i have to get ready to go out to morning tea with my boyfriends's wife... will tell you all about that later!! see ya all

8:01 pm

I saw AL Green and Ray Charles do that one together in concert.. omg wow

8:02 pm

Amazing combo, yeah?

8:03 pm

oh gosh.. it was incredible.. they just played off of each other like they'd been singing together for their whole lives

8:04 pm

Men with soul are amazing.

8:04 pm

Ray Charles was incredible.. but he only played for like 40 minutes and left the stage

8:05 pm

...men with rhythmn are better..lol

8:06 pm

the group 'straight no chaser" is very good if you are looking for a nice accapello(sp) group

8:09 pm

take me to the river is a great song for concerts, too

8:10 pm

one of my faves

8:11 pm

Al green still has a great voice

8:12 pm

.....let's stay together.. loving you whether..

8:12 pm

through the good.. the bad.. the happy.. the sad..

8:13 pm

he is terrific, i agree

8:14 pm

ayayayayayay.. let's stay togetherererererer..

8:14 pm

Al Green has a signature voice.

8:14 pm

<---pretends he's Al Green

8:15 pm

well ru, I've met you. and you're cute, but you're no al green, sorry

8:15 pm

If you can't get up to dance to that one.. you are dead

8:15 pm

<------ you can call him Al

8:15 pm

but then again, you didn't sing to me, did you?

8:15 pm

oh..damn...

8:15 pm

Al Green cued up on You Tube. Yowza!

8:16 pm

Hey.. I can't measure up to AL Green..

8:16 pm

8:17 pm

I have tremendous range.. but can't stay on key...lol

8:17 pm

<---can make Maria Carey plug her own ears

8:18 pm

Maria Carey tried DISASTROUSLY to run a note like Al Green could. Al remains King.

8:20 pm

sorry, can't even imagine putting the two in the same sentence (but you did well moll)

8:21 pm

*Goes voluntarily to the PB for even doing that*

8:22 pm

10:20 pm

hi all! back for my last 15!

10:20 pm

welcome

10:20 pm

hi uusue :)

10:21 pm

she was very sweet to me!! Making sure she knows what I am up to with her husband

10:21 pm

last te?

10:21 pm

very chatty and friendly about my family, telling me how wonderful they are

10:22 pm

her hubby and I have such a laugh over her insecurity, but she is really turning around and starting to actually like me and accept my closeness to her hubby.

10:22 pm

Oh good! Glad it was nice. She seems ok just very straight-laced.

10:23 pm

well, mrp, you are such a cool person, i can see where someone might feel threatened... :D

10:23 pm

fireworks

10:24 pm

yay jam!

10:24 pm

yay, jmc!

10:24 pm

Yay jmc!

10:24 pm

8 left for me

10:24 pm

and on that note i am going to bed bye all!

10:24 pm

jes, she confronted me in February and basically accused me of having an affair with her hubby....

10:24 pm

bye, jam! sleep sweet :)

10:25 pm

she didn't like how close I was to her husband emotionally and intellectually, so she let me know her insecurities.

10:25 pm

bye bye jam

10:25 pm

see ya jmc!

10:25 pm

night, jmc!

10:25 pm

sounds like you've handled it well, mrp!

10:25 pm

better than sniping and backstabbing out of insecurity. is good that she talks to you about it.

10:26 pm

and takes courage to do that

10:27 pm

and of course, she had a massive fight with her husband about me, and he (being a typical man) told her 'too bad, Michelle is my friend and I am not giving up my friendship or expecting her to change cause you don't like my closeness to her'

10:27 pm

it took a lot of courage for her to face me!!

10:27 pm

fireworks!

10:27 pm

Some women are over-protective of their hubbies. I used to think it was older women who felt threatened by opposite sex friendships, but it occurs across all age groups.

10:27 pm

yay sue!

10:27 pm

last word was tu4/6, which is pretty funny

10:27 pm

yay sue!!

10:28 pm

too right terri... and also, her husband has never had a friendship with a person/woman like me.

10:29 pm

there are no other persons like you!

10:29 pm

Well, MP you are very special!

10:30 pm

Oh no there aren't! and she let me know that I am very different to any woman she has known. I think that was her insecurity, I am opposite to her in almost everyway and she couldn't understand why her husband liked me so much for being so different to her.

10:30 pm

well, my boyfriend seems to think I am!!

10:31 pm

He told me that during the massive fight (till 3am) with his wife over me, all she wanted him to do was admit that he had 'feelings' for me.

10:31 pm

and being a stupid man, he said yes.

10:31 pm

but everybody has feelings for practically everyone they know...

10:32 pm

I nearly punched him!! He should never admit to having feelings for another woman! not ever!!

10:32 pm

doesn't mean they're bedding 'em.

10:32 pm

She may be worried he'll replace her with you because you are different and younger! But I know you'll never replace your husband so she really has nothing to fear.

10:32 pm

well, that is what she was pretty much accusing us of.

10:33 pm

she had feelings for you too... distrust, trepidation, uncertainty... :D

10:33 pm

And I already have my own circus and clown... why would I want someone elses clown?? Same circus, different clown?? No thanks

10:33 pm

yes, i know. being a smart ass when your wife is yelling at you is not wise...

10:34 pm

back in a sec. gotta go see what the dog's barking up

10:34 pm

jes, she is trying to get over that, and her hubby and I talk about her jealousy of me. He has admitted that she is is keeping me close as you keep your 'enemies' closer.

10:35 pm

But, really when you think about it one man in your life is enough work, why on earth would you want two!?! And a man someone else has trained (haha)

10:37 pm

My boyfriend does have feelings for me, and my husband knows that blood rushes to places that it shouldn't rush to when he spends time with me, but Lickety is not worried about him... considers it harmless lust

10:39 pm

we call him 'Clayton... the lover you're having when you're not having a lover' :))

10:40 pm

i don't do the jealousy thing much myself. but i cn see why someone might be jealous of you--you are a pretty spiffy person. and like i said, i think it takes some courage on her part to start talking to you about it.

10:40 pm

Haha! Clayton! Do you babble babes know what 'Clayton" refers to?

10:40 pm

well, and as long as you are aware of all the levels of interaction and are clear about what is ok and what isn't between you, you should be fine.

10:40 pm

and now I am off to bed, see you all tomorrow!

10:40 pm

nope. never heard of clayton

10:40 pm

sleep sweet, sue

10:40 pm

I have a lot of admiration for her approaching me... a lot

10:41 pm

bye sue!!

10:41 pm

I am clear sue... he is still needing a little training

10:42 pm

I let him know when I am not happy with something and he completely respects that.

10:42 pm

any news on the prick?

10:43 pm

There was an advertisement in Australia for alcohol free scotch. So it was termed "Claytons...the drink you have when you're not having a drink". The term Clayton has become part of the Assie venacular.

10:43 pm

Aussie

10:43 pm

ah, makes sene

10:44 pm

sense

10:44 pm

the prick is in hiding... he has to face me in court and he has a very frightened look on his face. He has not approached me or tried to harrass or intimidate me since... he has until 21 June to fix it with me and he will go for a settlement

10:45 pm

excellent!

10:47 pm

and fireworks :)

10:47 pm

on ya jes!! **woohoo**

10:47 pm

yay jes!

10:48 pm

this grid went MUCH easier for me than the last couple

10:48 pm

it sure has been!!

10:51 pm

jes, thanks for asking about that stuff... it is good to talk about

10:51 pm

i'm glad to hear it's getting straightened out

10:52 pm

crazy guys are scary... i get my share of them, though so far none have gotten ambitious enough to plant bombs!

10:54 pm

what has happened to you jes??

10:54 pm

oh... lots of crazies, mostly through work.

10:55 pm

the most recent really crazy guy started last september, when i treated his dog

10:56 pm

the dog was brought in by a friend of the owner. owner couldn't bring dog in himself, because he was, drum roll please, in jail.

10:56 pm

oh my God!!! Dogs and September... what the hell is wrong with people!!

10:57 pm

so what did he do?

10:57 pm

dog was obviously in badbad shape, so i called the local jail and asked to talk to mr bill. they said they didn't have him, he was in jail in the next county over.

10:58 pm

so i called them. (long distance) and asked to talk to the owner. explained to the desk sarge who and why and she sent someone to get him out of his cell.

10:59 pm

had a very very long and frustrating conversation with mr bill, explaining what was going on with his dog and what his options were. after repeatedly explaining why giving the dog something to "flush him out" was not going to address the extremely enlarged liver, i got permission to do an exploratory surgery and take biopsies.

11:00 pm

which i then promptly did. biopsy confirmed liver cancer, dog rapidly worsened and was euthanized by a different doctor at the clinic the next weekend.

11:00 pm

during this, i called and talked to mr bill repeatedly, explaining what was happening, what we found in surgery, what the biopsy said, all of that.

11:00 pm

he even called the clinic twice collect.

11:01 pm

we made arrangements to hold the body until this spring so he could bury it (something we do not normally do).

11:01 pm

and i thought that was it.

11:02 pm

mr bill sent $50, and a letter thanking me for everything, and saying he'd get us more money soon.

11:02 pm

several other people came in and paid on his bill (apparently it was a popular dog), and this february, mr bill sent another $150 which should have paid off the bill... except that both checks bounced.

11:03 pm

I am absorbing...

11:03 pm

so the friend that initially brought the dog in redeemed the checks. So the total was paid, though only $50 of the $700 bill by the owner.

11:04 pm

then mr bill got out of jail, and the fun really began.

11:04 pm

oh no!!! what next!?

11:05 pm

he called and wanted to talk to the doctor that worked on his dog, but not on the phone, he wanted to talk in person.

11:05 pm

so my receptionist made him an appointment, and he came in to "talk"

11:06 pm

which ended up being a lovely conversation of total crazy, in which he accused me of doing unethical, experimental, painful surgery on his dog without permission, and demanded that I refund him for the bill (which he didn't even freaking pay!) and provide him with "proof of my ethical standing" AND get him a replacement dog.

11:07 pm

a replacement dog?? WTF??

11:07 pm

is he friggin nuts?? He didn't pay the darn bill either!

11:07 pm

he flatly denied having ever spoken to me before in his life, certainly he never had a conversation with me while he was in jail, he never under any circumstances would have approved surgery like that and I was obviously a terribly, money-grubbing, dog-hating psycho

11:08 pm

oh, and he'd see me in jail.

11:08 pm

jail junkie will so not be believed!

11:08 pm

Unreal.

11:08 pm

he is crazy!!

11:08 pm

when I flipped open the chart and listed to him the dates and times on which we'd spoken, and what we'd talked about, and the dates that i mailed him copies of lab results and surgery reports, he said "that never happened"

11:08 pm

is he still trying to intimidate you??

11:09 pm

I've been scrolling back. Hello all.

11:09 pm

hi jilli **hugs**

11:09 pm

Oh my goodness jes!! Sounds like his next "holiday" should be in an asylum

11:09 pm

mrp is right -- the guy is crazy.

11:09 pm

during this, i asked him 3 times to stop yelling, told him that i could hear perfectly well and there was no need to raise his voice.

11:09 pm

I did firework... not sure if I told! Keep going jes, this is facinating!!

11:10 pm

I sparkled last night -- yes, go on, jex.

11:10 pm

*jes

11:10 pm

so when we got to the part where he flatly refused to believe that the conversations i had documented actually happened, i gave up. told him that i can't possibly explain why he doesn't remember having conversations that i distinctly remember and for which i can provide dates and times, but obviously talking about it more was going to accomplish nothing, so if he had anything else to say, he could say it to my insurance company.

11:11 pm

you did nothing wrong or unethical to the dog... what a dipsh*t to treat you that way

11:11 pm

gave him the ins co number, and sent him away. and then called the ins co myself to warn them.

11:11 pm

on ya jilli!

11:11 pm

hurrahs for fireworks!

11:12 pm

waiting on the flip and listening to this woeful tale

11:12 pm

How are these loonies let loose on the streets?

11:12 pm

dangerous f***ers! Justice system stupid

11:12 pm

jumping in for my last 17 (now that I've caught up on the 'events')

11:13 pm

hi all

11:13 pm

then i called the jail, and talked to the same desk sarge and asked if they kept records of phone calls to inmates. sarge, who distinctly remembered the whole thing, informed me that not only do they keep records, they may even have recordings through emergency dispatch! heheheheheheheh

11:13 pm

hi pini!

11:13 pm

hi mrp ;)

11:13 pm

haha!! so the lunatic is still at it??

11:13 pm

so she said she'd contact dispatch about that, and then recommended that i contact mr bill's case officer, as he had a history of unpredictable behavior and C.O. should know what's going on.

11:14 pm

hi pini :)

11:14 pm

I think I might have handed him a stuffed dog to replace his 'pet' and then offered him a straightjacket to go with it...

11:14 pm

hi jes ;)

11:14 pm

hahaha! pini lol!!

11:14 pm

what is c.o. ??

11:14 pm

(sorry to both mrp and jes on these spectacular events)

11:14 pm

case officer?

11:15 pm

they are just that pini... SPECTACULAR!!

11:15 pm

i called the CO, and told her the whole thing, and she says that mr bill absolutely knew what was going on, because he was trying to leverage her into letting him out early to go see the dog, and claiming that the only reason the dog was ill was that he wasn't there to take care of it, so it was entirely CO's fault that the dog died. yes, CO = case officer

11:15 pm

Thank goodness for thorough record-keeping!

11:15 pm

...and here I was going to complain about the flock of geese that flew over my house and unloaded on my truck! (had to wash the car before going to work)

11:16 pm

Oh, that guy really does have a screw loose.

11:16 pm

she also recommended that i call city police, and tell THEM what's going on, because they will know him and warned me that he had a history of unpredictible, violent behavior.

11:16 pm

holy sh**! he is bat crazy!!

11:16 pm

(and on ya too for fwks, mrp)

11:16 pm

Oh well that takes the heat from you and gives it to poor c.o.

11:16 pm

da6/21?

11:17 pm

I'd make sure I was never alone at the clinic, jes...just to be safe.

11:17 pm

oh you poor girl!! stay safe hunny! you know by now just from my crap going on how people can just 'switch' and go crazy

11:17 pm

LOL pini about the sh*tty geese!

11:17 pm

so i call the police, and the officer knew EXACTLY who i was talking about. they thanked me for warning them, said they'd swing by the clinic more often and that if he even came in, we should just call them and they'd come get him.

11:17 pm

Does mr bill want crackers for his nuts?!

11:17 pm

de + not on time

11:17 pm

he needs them

11:18 pm

dA, mrp ;)

11:18 pm

thx jilli ;)

11:18 pm

then i went home, and looked up on the internet what i could find about mr bill....

11:18 pm

Oh my Lord!

11:18 pm

oh -- there's more?

11:19 pm

http://law.justia.com/cases/washington /court-of-appeals-division-iii/2009/27 8441-unp-doc.html

11:19 pm

a fun little read, that is.

11:19 pm

da6/21 is like an st word meaning jump with surprise (not in today's grid)

11:20 pm

Page Not Found (for me) jes -- maybe not allowed in Canada?

11:20 pm

wow, jes...he's an interesting one...

11:21 pm

so next day, i wrote a polite little letter to mr bill explaining that we could no longer provide him with veterinary services. included copies of the records for his other animals, and repeated that if he had anything else to say about the dog, he should contact the insurance company

11:21 pm

checking in, not playing **hugs all**

11:21 pm

hmm. they seem to've taken it down. it was the summary of his appeals claim.

11:21 pm

hi stid

11:21 pm

hi stid!

11:21 pm

pull up a seat, the convo tonight is a doozy

11:22 pm

hello stiddy

11:22 pm

I start full-time student teaching tomorrow, and VERY nervous. I need to get to sleep as soon as I have a couple of templates ready for the kids.

11:22 pm

you'll do great, as usual, stid...don't worry!

11:22 pm

the short version is that he was in jail for assault and threats to kill, based on an incident in which he fired shots in the direction of a group of hunters (including 2 kids) and then told them that they needed to get off of "his mountain" and that they should be careful where they went because "people could die out here"

11:22 pm

not getting the clue, jes :(

11:22 pm

superstid will be super as usual

11:23 pm

hmm. ok, you have the 6/24, past tense of bar game/thrown object?

11:23 pm

seriously, this guy sounds seriously ill.

11:23 pm

got it!!!

11:23 pm

add an extra consonant in the middle of that word.

11:23 pm

please mo 6 mo 7

11:23 pm

((((hugs jes protectively))))

11:24 pm

so when i mailed that off, i called his case officer and the police again to warn them that he might be in a bad mood when he checked his mail.

11:24 pm

mo6 rhymes with what a baby drinks out of

11:24 pm

mo6 sounds like the glass container that holds liquid

11:24 pm

jes, did you provide each of them with a copy of what you sent to him?

11:25 pm

eventually, he got around to filing his written claim with the insurance co (i don't know exactly how the conversations leading up to that went, but they must have been fun for the ins rep)

11:25 pm

ty ty ty

11:25 pm

I wish I could stay and offer support, but very short on time. ***more hugs, choclit and stronger medicine as desired***

11:25 pm

*poof*

11:25 pm

i did, pini. copies of the entire record, the letter he sent me, all the lab work, AND my phone records with the collect calls from the jail.

11:25 pm

bye stid!

11:25 pm

bye stid, and you'll do fine!

11:26 pm

then you shouldn't have to worry, jes...about that part anyway...

11:26 pm

his written claim was for "$950 or not less than $500". ins rep was bemused by the apparent attempt to haggle in an insurance claim.

11:26 pm

they (unsurprisingly) determined that i'd met standard of care, so the only basis for claim was the owner's denial of permission.

11:27 pm

allo. hewoo.

11:27 pm

hi cos

11:27 pm

what a piece of work, jes

11:27 pm

hi cos -- scroll back!

11:28 pm

i sent the ins agent a copy of the account history, since you cannot legally claim more than the actual amount paid--which, you may remember, was a couple hundred LESS than his claim. Also, it had lovely notes on who had actually paid what, since mr bill paid virtually nothing of the total anyway.

11:28 pm

de7?

11:28 pm

we still don't know where he got the $950.

11:28 pm

is the scroll back for me?

11:28 pm

I was going to say, jes...his claim would only be for the $50 HE paid, right?

11:28 pm

de7 is car ding + potato slang ***r

11:29 pm

de7 -- a ding + consumed

11:29 pm

Dear me, jess! Hope all works out for you and mr loony I mean, mr bill

11:29 pm

danke ;)

11:29 pm

dr7?

11:29 pm

ty jilli

11:29 pm

pt of the dr4 before it

11:29 pm

punitive or compensatory damages?

11:29 pm

dr7 -- past tense of dang

11:29 pm

danke cos

11:29 pm

and then the desk sarge came through for me, and sent the ins rep over half an hour of recorded conversations in which mr bill clearly and specifically gave me permission to do the surgery.

11:29 pm

yvw

11:30 pm

cos is faster than I am

11:30 pm

L-D

11:30 pm

you can't claim punitive damages in an insurance claim. that'd have to be a lawsuit.

11:30 pm

nice, jes! great sarge!

11:30 pm

ooops that was supposed to be :-P new keyboard

11:30 pm

oh good, jes!

11:31 pm

but he doesn't seem to be the sharpest tack in the box...maybe he doesn't know that...

11:31 pm

and to do that in a lawsuit, you'd have to prove that i was negligent. you would still have a really hard time getting a judge to award more than your actual expenses + "fair market value" of the animal, which would be nill in a 12 year old neutered, mixed breed dog.

11:31 pm

mr bill has scrambled brains

11:31 pm

indeed, jilli. very scrambled.

11:32 pm

not sure scrambled is the word; more like 'missing'! :)

11:32 pm

so insurance co denied his claim.

11:32 pm

of course.

11:32 pm

now, the same morning that the insurance co notified me of this, i got a call from the friend who had actually brought the dog in way back in the beginning of this.

11:32 pm

mrp on phone but will catch up

11:33 pm

out of the 4 ou's I have the 2nd, nudges for the others?

11:33 pm

so i go out to his house to work on a horse. and as i am pulling through his gate, who should pull in behind me, but... mr bill.

11:33 pm

oy vey, jes....

11:33 pm

ou* + ra4

11:33 pm

ou #1 -- consumed more

11:33 pm

theres also an ot5

11:33 pm

and then past tense

11:33 pm

omg, jes!

11:34 pm

thx for all of those :)

11:34 pm

OMG!!

11:34 pm

did you call your sarge-buddy?

11:34 pm

i spent 2 hours there, and the whole time i was trying to avoid ever turning my back on mr bill, having lovely comforting imagination scenes of him hitting me on the back of the head and trying to convince his friend to lie to the police for him and say the horse kicked me.

11:34 pm

I need ra5 ra6 please

11:35 pm

you may need to take someone with you the next time you go to the 'friend's' house

11:35 pm

there are 2 ra5s and 2 ra6s

11:35 pm

me, too, snags

11:35 pm

in actuality, he didn't do anything aggressive--i'm pretty sure he didn't recognize me. he has consistently gotten my name wrong this whole time, and i rather think that he thinks there's this other doctor that was the huge bitch, and me, and we're different people...

11:35 pm

sorry -- 3 ra6s

11:35 pm

ra6/21

11:36 pm

and the ra5/10 before it

11:36 pm

but that may be the drugs talking too, as he appears to be firmly drugged into permahappy. he spent the entire 2 hours talking. happily, quietly, apparently to himself, babbling nonsense.

11:36 pm

like I said...what a piece of work, jes!

11:36 pm

ra6/21 -- spilled the beans on someone

11:36 pm

ra10 , add a consonant to the end of ra4

11:36 pm

4th one down in the clues and the 7th one down.........

11:37 pm

ra6/21 is past tense of rodent

11:37 pm

thx jes ;)

11:37 pm

ra + ***evison

11:37 pm

the ra6 you're looking for, snags, is like the ra6 jes just clued...just change the last letter

11:37 pm

danke, jilli ;)

11:37 pm

except for a few really weird things that were directed at me... the horse i was working on had gotten herself tangled in a fence and laid in the mud under the dripline of the barn all night.

11:38 pm

will the horse be ok, jes?

11:38 pm

oh, poor thing!

11:38 pm

so she was hypothermic and wet. i explained that we needed to get her dry and warmed up. mr bill helpfully pointed out that there was a hose "right over there"

11:38 pm

ta7/28?

11:38 pm

ta7/28 -- little pastry

11:39 pm

thx again, cuz

11:39 pm

when i asked what i would need a hose for, he said to wash the horse with. i STILL have not figured out how frigid well water was supposed to accomplish warming and drying the horse!

11:39 pm

I guess he was talking to someone on his own wavelength!

11:39 pm

oh yes, hoss get animals nice and dry.

11:39 pm

remember, jes...his brain is apparently missing

11:39 pm

*hoses

11:40 pm

this guy needs a shrink

11:40 pm

Maybe mr bill is dyslexic? hose/horse

11:40 pm

to6/21?

11:40 pm

that's been a little over a month now, and so far that's the last i've had to deal with him. i'm hoping it stays that way!

11:41 pm

* crossing fingers, jes *

11:41 pm

I hope he's in a padded cell now

11:41 pm

he has a shrink, jilli; court-ordered counseling and medication.

11:41 pm

no, he's loose on the street as far as i know

11:41 pm

it is rather terrifying that someone as obviously drugged to the gills as he is is allowed to drive...

11:42 pm

That is one of the most disturbingly funny things I have ever heard.

11:42 pm

well, I hope the shrink can unscramble him -- but he has to take the meds and may not.

11:42 pm

no kidding, jes

11:43 pm

last te5 and 6?

11:43 pm

got the 5

11:43 pm

got the 6

11:43 pm

gotta love those little fishies

11:43 pm

add a conso...nm you got it.

11:43 pm

far out!!

11:44 pm

;)

11:44 pm

wb mrp

11:44 pm

i get to meet the most fascinating people :D

11:44 pm

just one more to go!

11:44 pm

caught up with all that... he is definitely a 'block him' person and don't go near or talk to him

11:44 pm

no kidding, jes...you're in one of those professions that is also a magnet!

11:45 pm

speaking of "allowed to drive" -- there's a plan afoot here by the car insurance monopoly to charge extra for for 3 years, for anyone who has ONE speeding ticket. I have one because of a speed trap, for doing 45 mph on a downhill slope in an unpopulated rural area. Dangerous driver now!

11:45 pm

I remember some real doozies when I was a deputy court clerk...

11:45 pm

Going to get kids from school and do a bit of shopping. goodbye all for now. Hope all ok for you jess

11:45 pm

have fun terri

11:45 pm

to6?

11:46 pm

is it a fish, too?

11:46 pm

toodles, terri

11:46 pm

bye, terri!

11:46 pm

to6 is drank a bit.

11:46 pm

to6 -- added up

11:46 pm

oops. yeah, what jilli said. it's like the so6 that means drunk ;)

11:47 pm

(interesting difference in definitions)

11:47 pm

*•.¸¸.•*•.¸ sparklebugs ¸.•*•.¸¸.•*

11:47 pm

YAY pini!!!

11:49 pm

* giggle *

11:50 pm

yeah, it's amazing, I keep coming home to see my lawn mowed...

11:50 pm

yay pini!

11:50 pm

well said, cuz

11:50 pm

the horses gotta eat something

11:50 pm

now if only the blackberry bushes would disappear (before they take over)

11:51 pm

I wish the local deer ate grass instead of flowers

11:51 pm

I love blackberries (edible ones, that is)

11:51 pm

I wish I knew where I could rent a goat!

11:51 pm

jes... i just hope this guy is kept sane with his drugs

11:52 pm

I like blackberry jam, but am not particularly fond of the wild ones that take over everything

11:52 pm

mrp -- people like that often stop taking their meds

11:52 pm

look in the local paper/craigslist, pini.

11:52 pm

really, jes???

11:52 pm

clues for both at6s please?

11:53 pm

yeah, i hope so too, mrp. also that he doesn't forget the entire thing and call to make an appointment or with an emergency at some point.

11:53 pm

at6 an event to which you were invited

11:53 pm

then change the last letter

11:53 pm

at+camping shelter

11:54 pm

at6 -- go to a meeting

11:54 pm

ty ty ty fireworks!

11:54 pm

(sneaking off for a peek at craigslist)

11:54 pm

at6 -- at + canvas shelter

11:54 pm

yeah, there are fairly often people trying to give away or sell goats. you might contact one and ask if they'd loan you one

11:54 pm

wtg nonnie ;)

11:54 pm

yay nonnie!

11:54 pm

YAY nonnie (I was slow again)

11:55 pm

ty all :o)

11:55 pm

can you refuse help to certain people??

11:55 pm

have a 'banned' list

11:55 pm

and speaking of lawnmowing... i need to go move the horses back to their corral :)

11:55 pm

there must be another vet that he can use

11:55 pm

yes, mrp. he's officially been fired as a client.

11:55 pm

too right jilli, they 'forget' to take them or think they are fine without them.

11:56 pm

good! **hugs**

11:57 pm

good for you, jes.

11:57 pm

people, with all the stress I have been through since 6 weeks ago, I have lost 8kg.... 17lb
