Hello all Late night babblers!

hi turtle!

I fell asleep at 6 pm, so of course can not sleep now.

exact same thing happened to me :(

well, we have babble!

very thankful for babble many times like this!

even this grid which is small, and seems to all be located in the lower right hand corner....

it has been a tough one for me... brain must not be alert

or I don't like these letter combinations LOL

hi and nbt

hi and wtg

please may i have a clue for the 9

start with te 7/28 and end with adverb suffix...

te 4 /4 + consumed verb = te 7/28

fireworks

sorry volley, I don't understand your clue:-)

te 7... start with te 4/4 (a bird) + verb for when you consumed food...

the defintion of the te 7/28 is consisting of three leaflets, as a compound leaf.

got it! trouble was I didn't have that 4!! thanks

yqw

well I need to go finish my emails ... have fun with the grid

*poofing with hugs*

3:19 am

Oh, just missing Tim...this month was Melanoma awareness month, and I wore an awareness bracelet. Kept him on my mind...

brains are overrated, mrP

ok west.... email me

3:41 am

         Fable of the Porcupine 
It was the coldest winter ever.  Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm.  This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.  After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen.  So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.  Wisely, they decided to go back to being together.  They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth that came from the others.  This way they were able to survive.  Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.    
The real moral of the story......LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE. 

   

3:42 am

I just put it in the chat log and now I'm getting 'red boxes'

3:42 am

maybe it's too long

3:42 am

Great fable!

3:42 am

oh LOLLLLL I love that last line!

3:42 am

terrific westford!

3:42 am

oh dear

luv it jellen **hugs** just brilliant!!!

3:42 am

we all got it, I wonder why you got the red boxes.....

3:42 am

I think I broke it

3:42 am

well I love the whole fable, and the first morale of course too. But the punchline is priceless.

luv it westford!!! **hugs** just brilliant!!! sorry for putting jellens name in there!! Luv you west

I live with too many pricks in my life ... that is just a perfect fable west!!

3:44 am

Could someone help me with the stats for the bottom right E, please?

3:44 am

all is well here, west

3:44 am

I think that is et6/18, Jellen

could be et4 and et6

3:45 am

Oh, got it! Thanks, mrp and sprite

3:45 am

et4 is from the first column E

3:45 am

yvw :)

no probs jellen

3:47 am

it's always the toughest thing in babble, making sure which word comes from which tile :)

3:47 am

Now I need a word from the middlemost R...

3:48 am

walked fast again

3:49 am

Thanks, sprite...nbt!

had to send poor lickety out for new ammunition for the Crimson War... he really doesn't like doing that! I wonder if they feel sorry for us or just disgusted.

3:49 am

wtg Jellen!

on ya jellen!

3:49 am

I'm trying to get half before lunch, but ity doesn't look possible...

3:50 am

mrP, what is the Crimson war? And what kind of ammo?

3:50 am

you can do it, rubyfoo. It isn't so bad as it seems.

3:50 am

fera is a local fish :(

oh sprite, it is a euphenism for period and pads/tampons

3:51 am

Just reached the halfway point myself...

3:51 am

que fera, fera.... whatever fyall be, fyall be... the future'f not ourf to fee... que fera, fera.

3:52 am

ohhhhhh! *hits self on the head* Sorry, could have figured that out for myself. My favorite 'euphemism' is hammocks for little sick kittens'

3:52 am

and, I might ask, how did you get you-know-who's name into the grid, sprite?

3:52 am

oh rubyfoo, it is just that everybody loves him :)

like saying.... rebooting the ovarian system

3:53 am

thumper is fixing his own apero! he is getting on a weirder and weirder schedule -- gets up at 5:30, wants his apero before 11, wants his cocktail at 4, wants dinner at 5:30 and, in between takes naps. It's all very annoying!

or A Dishonorable Discharge from the Uterine Navy.... lol!!

3:53 am

lol yes. My love doesn't care about getting 'ammo'.

3:54 am

ouch! That one is bad :)

who is thumper??

3:54 am

all I want is my 8 hrs at night and eating at normal hours, not so much to ask for

3:54 am

DH

3:54 am

but very very good he is doing it himself, rubyfoo. I think it is fair. If he wants to mess up the schedule, he should be willing to act on it.

3:55 am

thumper = DH

3:55 am

it's because I am downstairs and he makes noise upstairs, mrp

ah! sorry the schedule is getting to you

3:55 am

he is like a bird. He stamps on the ground to make food appear from beneath his feet.

3:55 am

it becomes more and more separate, which is a shame. And, since I'm not very hungry anyway, it's hard to have earlier mealtimes

it is a shame ruby... so sorry

3:56 am

yikes !! I'm finally rid of the dreaded red boxes

3:56 am

you'd think retirement would start to be a pleasure!

3:56 am

I'd stick to the schedule, rubyfoo, seriously. He can either join you at the regular times, or do for himself outside of them. In the end, having some structure will only be good for him.

3:56 am

I sent my little story to mrp. Did it show up here?

sprite, my husband comes home and throws the 'ammo' and me and says,

3:57 am

poor west :( Nothing happened here, I am sorry you didn't get to see our enthusiams over your fable!

3:57 am

yes, we loved it, westford, prickers and all!

3:57 am

Yes, west...loved it!

3:57 am

can you see why mrp came to mind? lol

sprite, DH comes home, throws 'ammo' at me and says 'panty sheilds up, captain'!

3:58 am

Hello again. Hi West

3:58 am

roflol, silly lickety.

3:58 am

cute!

3:58 am

wb lyn :)

3:58 am

hi lyn

I have massive pricks to deal with... deadly pricks too

3:58 am

is that THE lickety?

3:58 am

I thought I'd never get back here

yes ruby

3:58 am

yes, lickety is the DH of mrP

3:58 am

I know mrp I meant to make you smile

3:59 am

that is funny; I've never used his listes

3:59 am

or even lists*

you certainly did west!!

3:59 am

I had better go and join DH....see you later everybody

3:59 am

I don't use them often either, but it is great they exist. He is a treasure in babbleland.

4:00 am

I should go to bed myself

4:05 am

it's a bit early isn't it West?

4:05 am

should but won't, or should and will?

4:05 am

lol probably won't sprite you know me well

4:06 am

it's 5:00 a.m. here lyn

4:06 am

*giggles* Well I am glad, I love you to stay a bit longer.

4:07 am

nothing on the schedule but a cookout at 4 p.m. and fireworks afterwards..the real kind

4:07 am

wow sounds good

4:07 am

I decided not to go to Maine for the annual meeting (boring) and promised to stay home with cats and find my checkbook !!

4:08 am

don't write that many checks anymore but it does come in handy once in awhile

4:08 am

even better, west. It is inspiring to see people make their own choices and not being lived by those of others.

4:09 am

I don't think I'd be a very good wife to Thumper.

4:11 am

roflolll me neither. He'd hate me.

4:11 am

ruby keeps her sense of humor thank goodness

4:12 am

there must be lots of love there.

4:13 am

I agree

4:13 am

I must confess, making my own choices is something I am still learning to do too.

4:14 am

it's not an easy thing to do when others depend on you

4:14 am

especially kids and pets...how are they?

4:15 am

no exactly. And when you have ingrained in you to please others or perish... it is a long way back, lol. Kids and Te5 are doing beautifully! Almost end of school ye4 now, good grades to look forward too, both of the kids. Good holiday plans too. And our little dog is a treasure, every day.

4:16 am

to look forward to too, I mean

4:16 am

that makes me so happy to hear !!

4:17 am

:D blessings are plenty if one is willing to look, aren't they :)

4:17 am

I'm giving up for the night...bye West & Sprite

4:17 am

bye lyn almost done?

4:17 am

sleep well, lyn! *hug*

4:20 am

I am watching Ciao Italia and getting very hungry

4:20 am

italian food is soooo tasty

4:21 am

she's making a Russian salad

4:22 am

lol... ok, I stand corrected... I don't know the first thing about russian food!

4:22 am

apparently was made for visiting Russian diplomats

4:22 am

pretty much like our potato salad

bye to all those that left :) was busy with lickety

4:23 am

bye mrp be well and happy

4:23 am

grinnnnn spare me the sordid details, hun.

i am staying west... need to get thru these te's

4:24 am

working on the te's myself now

4:24 am

oh okay then welcome back !!

lickety was tiger balming my wrist and foot... darn hot stuff!

4:26 am

oh dear what happened?

4:26 am

lol @ hot stuff.

4:27 am

ok mrP, I'll trade you any other te word for the te6/27

4:28 am

I need that one too

4:28 am

.......drumroll.......

yesterday, 18 year old boy booted the soccer ball straight into my chest/breasts from about 3 metres away... I put my hand up to protect the 'puppies' and at 150km/hr ... it did damage!!

4:29 am

good grief when are you going to catch a break? ( oops, bad choice of words)

4:29 am

jeezzz mrP, it never rains but it pours! I'd say you have had more than enough for some time. Like some ye4s!

don't have that one yet!! but I know the F is in there somewhere!!

4:30 am

thanks mrp just got it

yeah, and breaking my metatarsal running backward into a divet a few weeks ago was another refereeing injury

4:31 am

that did it for me, mrP. It is like when the light shines on a surface and comes back, but drop the c.

I am going to bone density scan and gallium scan in a couple of weeks... after the hysteroscopy/loop stuff

i might need some meds to strengthen my bones after all the radiotherapy

4:32 am

sorry, wrong clue, ignore it please

4:33 am

I'd say so, mrP. You could really do with a bit of sturdiness. Lickety should order you a harness like the medieval knigts.

4:33 am

*knights

4:33 am

we have something here you take once a month pretty good results

4:34 am

it is T + fairy creature (think Legolas) + person doing it ending.

4:34 am

good clue sprite

i just keep on going on and exercising and reffing and won't stop... either that or sit infront of the tv and watch jerry springer and die

4:34 am

:)

4:35 am

yeah mrp he'd do anyone in

4:35 am

you're smart to keep going

brb... getting my dinner!! I stink of tiger balm!! urgh!!

4:35 am

absolutely. Keep living.

4:35 am

we might need to order you a whole suit of armor though

4:36 am

fireflies for me. Bye all, thanks for the great company and help. *hugs*

4:36 am

Ah, Yetta.

Ah, Yetta. I am not being allowed to say hello because my babble is working very slowly today.

I keep trying to say things and it sits in the box for 5 minutes.

that's why the repeat posts. I tried refreshing but it doesn't help.

7:52 am

Sue, You just gave the first 4 letters of the word. Is that allowed in the Babble world?

8:44 am

te 9/66 te + mr. hawthorne = te 7/28 + cons + sometimes vowel = 9/66

8:45 am

Oh, I do apologise if I have offended, Annie.

Is anyone still here?

12:12 pm

Hi Car

12:12 pm

Hello Molly! Do you have clues for the E or R on the right hand side?

12:13 pm

The r means to make the air (or anything else) pure

12:14 pm

I think the e is poetic for forever with a vowel ending

12:14 pm

filter?

12:14 pm

Starts with a word that means unique

12:14 pm

ahh...hadn't tried that vowel at the end! TY!

12:15 pm

Ends in two high score tiles

12:16 pm

Got it! TY! NBT!

12:29 pm

pick a better room to start with

12:29 pm

12:30 pm

one of the advantages to the bathroom is that it is small.

12:30 pm

personally i like cleaning the bathroom because you don't have to be careful about surfaces getting wet

12:30 pm

that too :-)

12:31 pm

2:00 pm

apple crisp is baked sliced apples with a crumbly topping (usually oats and brown sugar). Nice with ice cream.

2:01 pm

ah, we call thiise an apple crumble - topping can either be flour/butter/sugar rubbed to breadcrumbs, or oats/fat/sugar. Usually served with custard here

2:06 pm

My son and I made a memory stone (for his Dad) for our garden today. It looks great and it was a fun thing to do together.

2:06 pm

*fireflies8 and quite appropropriately my last word was ea6/24 - a place where people eat

2:06 pm

that's a lovely thing to do Molly

2:08 pm

It is a really cool kit. It comes with cement to make the stone, glitter and glow in the dark stones to decorate it with, and press in letters for your sentiment. His stone says "Dad And Kevin - Always Love"

3:01 pm

3:21 pm

Wow, 17 foot drifts in Rocky Mountain National Park. Not what I think of as Memorial Day weekend weather.

3:25 pm

Hi, everyone--me, the lurker--Molly, the drifts are on Trail Ridge road, which usually opens on Memorial Day, but impossible this year--some are 23' deep. The road closes in Oct and usually opens on Mem. Day--the highest continuous automobile rd in the US--greetings from Colorado.

here in washington state we still have enough snow in the mountains for skiing....on ski area remains open for memorial day skiing--first time ever I think

3:29 pm

I am not hearty enough for that kind of snow.

3:31 pm

our ski hill has still got so much snow that they are worried they will not be able to open for a summer season. They open up as a mountain bike trail place.

3:41 pm

ah - babble is back!

3:41 pm

*checks pulse*

3:42 pm

hello all - could i please have a clue for the re7

3:42 pm

hi ursh! re7 is what a losing army does.

3:42 pm

evening all

3:42 pm

hi, kazz!

3:43 pm

ah ty uusue

3:43 pm

so with all the rain today (don't have official numbers but it's several inches, I think) I have discovered two new leaks - one in the downstairs bathroom and one in the basement. Remind me not to buy another 120-year-old house.

3:46 pm

hi all, up from a nice nap, more retail shopping but only bought a good luck bamboo plant at ikea

Afternoon, Happy Cmrades day ursh!!!!

3:46 pm

hi, peri! that was very restrained of you, especially at Ikea!

3:46 pm

and hi, red! that's not you in the photo, is it?

that is me from 3 days ago, thursday. I look better now. I think.

3:47 pm

I saw some things I wanted but really don't want to have to put them together. need things for storage to get rid of the cluttter here

3:47 pm

I saw some things I wanted but really don't want to have to put them together. need things for storage to get rid of the cluttter here

i bought a used dooney & bourke purse for 19.99

3:47 pm

wow - I don't think I would let anyone take my photo like that - you are brave! :-)

3:47 pm

(((hugs all))) hi there. taking a few minutes' break before diving into the next writing task... *sigh*

3:47 pm

good for you Owl, where did you buy it?

hi red, h ow do you feel today?

As you might notice, I was completely unaware.

Hi stid!

3:47 pm

hi, TO and stid!

3:47 pm

hi there stiddy,long time no see

3:47 pm

red -- were you really on a gurney? are you okay now?

3:48 pm

HI stid. hugs to you

3:48 pm

**hugs bugs**

in bethlehem, used clothing vendor. will be taking them my summer mistakes to bu outright.

I had my hip surgery. I am ok now, I can't walk but I am ok now.

3:48 pm

how are you doing red, did you know that picture would be taken?

I am doing OK, and no but I think the pic is funny. I was so knocked out and that was just the pre-op meds.

3:49 pm

hm. seems hip surgery should make the walking better, yes?

3:49 pm

when will you be able to walk, red?

Hopefully in another week or so, I am moving about with crutches. and riding the bike at the gym.

3:49 pm

good for you, red!

did it turn out as the dr thought?

3:50 pm

and it makes it better but not right away, stid (speaking as a veteran of one hip and several knee surgeries)

well, the pain that I had for the past year is all but gone. I have some different pain...

3:52 pm

red, I am glad that the pain is gone -- I hope that you get the hoped-for results when you are "all better"

hi uu and stid

3:52 pm

I know sue -- a reason I don't seek out doctors' advice on anything not life-threatening right now. Just an MRI a year and a half ago put me on crutches (again) for 6 months...

I wish honestly I had this done back in march/april when it was first suggested, ah well.

3:53 pm

sounds good, red! the post-op pain should fade reasonably quickly.

How is everyone doing?

3:53 pm

how did an mri put you on crutches, stid?

3:54 pm

stupid jerks put in so much fluid in the joint that they pushed it out of place even further than it already was and didn't believe me... *deliberate name-calling*

I'm off all Narcotics already which is great. Now I just want to start walking short distances.

3:54 pm

oh, red, that does sound good!

3:55 pm

very excellent, red!

3:55 pm

very good red

3:55 pm

Oh look, there is Stid. *Says hi quickly before Stid goes poof*

3:55 pm

sorry to hear that stid

3:55 pm

*hugs molly*

its sort of funny because I was so worried about the pain..

3:55 pm

stid, I am sorry to hear about your trouble - I had an MRI that was misread many years ago resulting in a year of pain while I tried to figure out what was wrong (since the mri report ruled out what turned out to be the actual problem)

mri is not as accurate as it might seem, mine also showed no labral tear, but I had one.

3:57 pm

yep. I think I know what is wrong, but don't trust the docs to try anything right now, since I am ambulatory again and my garden needs me. I'll wait until I am immobilized and we have recovered from the grad school debacle.

3:58 pm

well, this was more of a glaring error than an inaccuracy - when I finally got another doctor to look at the films he couldn't believe what they missed.

3:58 pm

that is awful sue, sorry you had to go thru that

3:58 pm

well, as long as you are functioning it sounds like you can wait, stid. One worry at a time!

well bye then

3:59 pm

bye, TO!

3:59 pm

later TO

3:59 pm

wow ladies! sounds to me like they need either some new mri techs or some new doctors! i have had many ct,s and mri,s and they have all been bang on

4:00 pm

I talked to a lawyer friend of mine about suing for malpractice but apparently unless you have permanent damage (or are dead) there is no point - a year of life gone isn't worth anything. Grumble.

4:00 pm

((((CROSS))))

4:00 pm

(((stidmama)))

4:00 pm

hi, crossy!

4:01 pm

*Thinks we all need to turn to herbalists, and medicine men*

4:01 pm

I was going to sue my doctor many years ago when I had an ectopic preg. that was not discovered. almost died but was given the same advice

4:01 pm

howdy sue:))

4:01 pm

all my favorite girls are here today:))

4:01 pm

oh gee peri, how frightening!

4:02 pm

4:03 pm

I think I will get this last couple of tasks done now, and then I can spend the evening watching TV and grading papers -- just like a real teacher would!

4:04 pm

I am down to 86, back later to PLAY!!!! *happy almost-done with grad school mama look*

4:04 pm

*poof*

4:04 pm

bye, stid!

4:07 pm

and now for crossy,s tidbit of the day....

4:07 pm

Why don’t stores sell mouse-flavored cat food? It’s a matter of marketing; tuna, chicken and liver flavors sound much more palatable to the humans buying the pet food.

I think I am going to have to make a trip to sonic or to Somewhere like that.

4:07 pm

it all smells the same anyway as far as I can tell, crossy!

4:08 pm

sonic for a hamburger, red?

hamburger and some sort of ice cream thing.

but I had some Patak Paneer, so I am not really hungry, but bored bored.

4:09 pm

crossy is no longer allowed junk food;((

are you back on your diet again cross?

4:10 pm

yes...waaaa!

4:10 pm

my bacon intake is suffering i can tell you!

4:10 pm

can anybody clue the corner E?

I'm going to IHOP some time this week. and there will be bacon involved...

4:11 pm

et6/18, dan, poetic term for forever

4:11 pm

4:12 pm

tx uu, that's 100 words

4:12 pm

breakfast heaven

indeed all day long!

4:13 pm

crossy could eat breakfast all day..every day:))

4:16 pm

yw, dan :-)

4:19 pm

Hello everybody :-).

4:20 pm

hi, soodle!

4:21 pm

10 years after the rest of the civilised world. I have just invested in an IPod. Trying to come to terms with the wonderful workings of it.....

4:21 pm

and I am just copying music to my phone (android) - never did have an iPod :-)

4:22 pm

LOL Sue. I went into Youtube to get a couple of favourite songs, and now, I seem to have 300. I'm still not sure how it all happened....

4:23 pm

69 words - I am finally half way!!

4:23 pm

I long ago put some albums onto my computer's hard drive, so now I am just copying them over.

4:25 pm

I have a rather eclectic mix on my (brand new) IPod. I have Frank Sinatra, Dire Straits,Kris Kristofferson, a heap of Irish music, and some Mamma Mia sound-track... A psychologist would have a field day interpreting my choice of music....

4:28 pm

clue for the te 7/9 combo please

4:28 pm

and hi all :)

4:29 pm

hi, jeff! Don't have them...

4:30 pm

and soodle, on my phone I have Leonard Cohen, PDQ Bach, Nine, the Ahn Trio, and a variety of Christmas and Hanukkah music, as well as a few individual tracks of various sorts.

4:30 pm

Sorry Jeff.... I'm a bit distracted with the world of IPods at the moment. I will have a look.........

4:31 pm

ty.....i have too many songs on my zune but I like having the variety

4:31 pm

Oh Sue...... I forgot about Leonard Cohen............ dives back into Youtube.....

4:32 pm

jeff, I have a couple of te7 but don't know if either one is related to the 9

4:32 pm

4827 songs

4:32 pm

i don't have any 7s so I'll take any clues you can offer

4:32 pm

te7/28, sea bird + past tense of eat

4:32 pm

i know the 9 is an adjective form from earlier

4:33 pm

that's the one :)

4:33 pm

te7/28, adds a couple of letters to the preceding te5/10 that is Latin for Earth

4:34 pm

the 9 is the adverb of the te7 sea bird+ word

4:34 pm

ty for both

4:34 pm

and hi all

4:34 pm

huh, turning the first one into an adjective worked. who knew? Now have nbs as well as nbt.

4:34 pm

adj...adv....waht's the diff? LOL

4:34 pm

:)

4:35 pm

I was trying to figure out how to make an ajective out of an adjective... :)

4:39 pm

name that proper noun - he is the ruler of all that he sees!

4:43 pm

perhaps that was too obscure. A Dr. Seuss character who makes an ever taller pile of his subjects until it all comes tumbling down, and he winds up being king of the mud.

4:43 pm

yertle the turtle?

i absolutely love that part of the "in search of Dr. Seuss" movie

4:44 pm

ding ding ding!!!!

4:45 pm

(Can't find any actual words, so am finding the non-words now)

I WIN???

4:45 pm

well, nrkii named him ...

4:46 pm

but you can win too.

OK, I can live with that ;-)

4:47 pm

Clue for the tr7, please?

4:48 pm

a person who tr5s you, like a doctor, perhaps

4:48 pm

thx, nrkii!

4:49 pm

Got it. Thanks.

4:54 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

4:54 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

5:36 pm

Hi uu. Quiet day for us. We don't have rain but not the warm weather jilli refers to.

5:40 pm

quiet here too after the thunderstorms :-)

5:41 pm

We may be three days without rain. That would be very unusual for us this year.

5:41 pm

Sue, if it randomly starts playing "Tubular Bells" throw it out the window.

5:42 pm

actually it was "My Husband Makes Movies", from Nine. Go figure.

5:48 pm

10:02 pm

It took me ae 4/4s to finish grid, but after re 4/6ing on clues,I finally did so here is a story. It seems that I'm allergic to the ar4/4 that I live in.What do I have to do to ea 4/4 a good night's sleep? I am a fe 6/27 & fe 4/7 that allergy season will be et 6/18 & will never end.I'd ra 4/4 this ye 4/6's allergy season the worsts Allergies get in the way of everything. For example, I went to Ko4/9 to buy some pants&I had to leave just after 5 minutes because I was coughing so much and my eyes became te 5/14. It is ra 4/4 for me to leave a store so soon because I love shopping. I hope that the end of allergy season is ne 4/4. Feeling miserable is not so ne 4/4.I wish there was an allergy re 7/28 I could goto to get rid of them.Hubby wants laptop. If I don't give it to him, he'll yell at me in a nasty to4/4. Now I'm going to get off my re 4/4end and go tr 5/10 myself to some desert.Then I'm going to go watch my name is Ea4/4 and then en5/10 sleep mode.Hope you have made no 4/4 of my clues & that my story brings you ne5/10 to your fireworks. Goodnight everybody!

10:35 pm

Mark has another job, but still works for this bastard because he believes davis' bullshit

10:35 pm

'oh I promise we will pay you $6,000 tomorrow!'.... and it never ever comes

davis now has a bill of about 35K$... and we are supposed to live off air??

10:37 pm

is he going bankrupt?

10:37 pm

anyway, I just got a call from my gyno and the anesthesist is doing it free of charge for me!! all under our national health system!!!

10:37 pm

that is wonderful for you mrp.

10:37 pm

wow that's great news
