1:53 am

it's amazing to me, jilli, that you can stay up so late!

1:55 am

ruby, it's only 5 minutes to midnight here.

1:56 am

oh, not as bad as I thought. I guess I was thinking of the East coast rather than the West...duh

6:46 am

howdy trif;))

6:49 am

this grid is a tricky little monkey, isn't it?

6:49 am

indeed

6:50 am

How was graduation Trif?

6:51 am

It was really, really lovely, molly. Great weather, sunny, but not hot, nor too chilly, and the speakers were all excellent, and I didn't need the whole box of tissues I brought....my mom was in great form and made it through the whole ceremony without issue, and Primo was composed and had a great time.

6:51 am

congratulations, Trif!

6:52 am

Sounds wonderful.

6:52 am

the only dark spot was delivered via mr. hate, as expected. He arrived on time, with his partner, sat WAY up in the stands, not in the family area, and left without saying so much as one word to me, nor tertiare. He said hello (and that was it) to secondo, took a couple of photos of primo, and then left. I am surprised at how stung I am.

6:52 am

yaa for primo!

6:53 am

It takes a true asshat to behave in such a way at his son's graduation.

6:53 am

I know we aren't friends, but it was our son's graduation! To completely dismiss me like that, and to only put in a token appearance, at best, was really disappointing.

6:53 am

do not let it shadow that day

6:54 am

He sounds like my ex husband

6:54 am

I am trying crossy, I really, really am. I know it says more about my expectations than anything else, and I am the one who is responsible for those.

6:54 am

I am choosing to remember the good stuff. Seriously!

6:54 am

good girl

6:55 am

Trif, it just shows how juvenile he is. Any mature man would put aside any differences and make the day about his son, the graduate.

6:55 am

Trif, and that is all you should remember. Do not give Mr. Hate the power to shadow your life.

6:55 am

primo is fine with it, and that is the bigger concern, to me. were he hurt, or feeling rejected, it would be more of a big deal.

6:55 am

but a narcissist cannot do that...it is all about HIM

6:56 am

Yes Annie, the oh so tiring "it's all about me" show. I've learned to distance myself from people like that.

6:56 am

and that is all the chog space mr hate gets today. He does not deserve our greater attentions

6:58 am

there were a TON of other graduations this weekend, and I have really enjoyed looking at the various photos on FB.. for example, my pastor's daughter graduated from Bennington college this weekend, and the photos she posted looked GREAT. A really funky, fun looking time

7:00 am

my son is 17 and as a rarity is currently enjoying school and he knows his course in life already.he wished to be an auto mechanic and it just so happens we are getting a new college built just up the road and it will be ready in time for him..i will sell the bloody furniture if i have to to get him those college course..cannot wait,you are a lucky woman trif.my son will be the first male in our family to graduate normally(crossy finished via adult classes) and i hope it is a great a day as you and primo had

7:02 am

it sort of can't help but be great, crossy. The pride you will feel is so wonderful

7:04 am

wow, the li 5.10 is a new word for me. interesting!

7:05 am

i

7:05 am

pride indeed.he has some learning disabilities and has been a fight with life and the school system,but the mysteries of the automobile engine speak to him and he is a savant with it..amazing really

7:06 am

I am so happy for your son, crossy...his life will be so much easier knowing what he wants to do

7:06 am

lol half the time he puts the shoes on the wrong foot,but can tune up your car lol

7:07 am

and i am happy for primo.does primo know the next step yet?

7:08 am

ty annie

7:11 am

indeed annie i am almost 50 and still do not know what i want to do

7:12 am

well if all the red tape for my bookstore gets unravelled i will bury myself in tomes and e-book gift cards and art supplies and never look back;0

7:12 am

Lets see - the current plan: primo is attending the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He feels certain he would like to go into teaching, so he is looking at a five year plan which will allow him to graduate with an MFA and a teaching certificate

7:12 am

and I will order books from your store, crossy

7:12 am

very nice trif:)

7:13 am

however, a good 75% of students who start at Mass Art end up graduating in something other than what they started in, so we will see!

7:13 am

primo is

7:13 am

for you annie,the first one is on me

7:13 am

thank you! crossy

7:13 am

Primo is incredibly good with physics, so he may end up in an engineering, architecture, or industrial design field, you never know

7:14 am

also, he is starting college as a published illustrator, having done an article for the Boston Globe and a book already, so he may continue there.

7:14 am

of course, he could be an illustrator and a teacher; they neednt be exclusve

7:15 am

I like your bookstore idea, crossy! virtual or brick and mortar?

7:22 am

i want bricks and mortar first

7:23 am

a web site can be added later

7:28 am

i want it very basic,very old school ambiance first hardwood shelving with that nice milk paint for that distressed look a cosy corner with a pair of wing back chairs and a table by a window for for just reading the paper or checking out books you may want.a bowl of werthers on the counter paper recipts and hand ledgers and a book store cat named italics ;)

7:29 am

It will be a wonderful book store

7:29 am

my wifes art supplies in a corner,paints,scetch pads and the writing instruments brushes canvas etc

7:31 am

i used to sell antique glass years ago and have rescued some old inkwells i have some in blue glass brown,red etc,will get some quills and use them as part of the decor as well

7:47 am

7:50 am

i will take the chance on loitering peri,this is a old time store set up,a place to feel at home meet friends to get a book or 2 on the way to lunch,a place to de-stress at the end of a cold hard day i am not after the get them in and get them out type of place.if you buy something great,if not then then someone else about the place

7:51 am

sounds like a lovely place, crossy, did not mean to put a damper on it. would like you to make some money tho

hello and bye bye Peri

7:57 am

8:19 am

Tuesday is the most popular day of the week for giving birth. Part of that factor has nothing to do with Nature and everything to do with hospital staffing since elective C-sections and induced labors are often scheduled during traditional working hours.

my daughter was born on a tuesday.... tuesday's child is full of grace

8:20 am

my boy was born on a sunday

and she was all natural... no drugs

8:20 am

my son was born on a Wednesday

8:20 am

Ouch again!

8:21 am

seems i was born on a wednesday

8:21 am

What a woman!!!

8:22 am

my daughter was born on 12/23. I went home Christmas day. They brought her to me in a Christmas stocking.

both kids were 3 weeks earlly

8:25 am

lol jmc,my father at the time held the record in the uk for the heaviest baby(and i have seen his birth cert) 14 pounds 2 ounces!

8:25 am

he was a bruiser until he was about 8--now is is tall and thin

8:25 am

i understand sammie davis jr was 13 lbs

oh crossy! that is huge!

8:26 am

yup and look how thin he was later on

8:26 am

often a baby is that large because of incipient (?) diabetes in the mother

my nephew come out looking like a 3 month old!! huge baby

8:26 am

just what I was thinking, jmc

8:27 am

they had to cut my grammy from stem to stern to get him out

8:27 am

that is gruesome!

nasty stuff crossy

8:27 am

CROSSY!!!!

8:27 am

myself,i was 2 pounds oz

8:27 am

very early baby

8:27 am

yeah people were always saying to me when he was two that he acted like a two year old--they thought he was 3 or 4

8:28 am

C-sections used to be much more dangerous than they are now...

9:00 am

sure, I'll make him a martini, ruby - he'll just have to wait a little while for me to bring it to him :-)

9:00 am

bye, river, lovely seeing you!

9:01 am

9:03 am

*poof* for now

9:05 am

you take a jumbo chilled martini glass add 3 jiggers of the finest British gin,take a sterling silver cocktail sword and spear a small pickled onion with it and gently float it in the gin and lastly,you lean over the glass and whisper the name Antonio Benedetto Carpano and serve

9:16 am

yummy, crossy, I'll be there! (Conveniently I have not yet had breakfast :-)

9:17 am

jumbo eggs over easy in butter,home fries all crispy with herbs and spiced the mrs is growing in her herb jug

9:17 am

what is an herb jug?

9:17 am

english muffins with 3 fruit marmalade

9:18 am

I know it is a jug to grow herbs in. but do you buy it in a store or make it yourself?

9:19 am

an herb jug stands about 4 feet tall peri and along the sides of it,cuts have been made to get little terraces that you fill with earth and plant the herbs in,so with one jug you can plant 8-10 different herbs

9:19 am

Oh, I have seen them in the garden shops or maybe home depot, good idea

9:20 am

they are amazing peri

9:20 am

great for small patios

9:20 am

they re kept outside then?

9:20 am

we put ours outside after mid may

9:20 am

i guess they are

9:21 am

sounds lovely, crossy!

9:21 am

1/2 way, bl, going to donate blood again this afternoon

9:22 am

it is an entire garden in one jug sue! for the wide top,the mrs plants flowers in it

9:22 am

byeee

9:22 am

Peri, something like this http://tinyurl.com/3m3lazy

9:23 am

it is heavy when full though(over 1oo pounds) so i have a furniture dolly just to move it around

9:24 am

like that molly,but mine is 4 feet high and about 4 inches around

9:24 am

14*

9:24 am

more like a wide flat bottomed amphora

9:26 am

we found it at the canadian tire garden centre a few years ago

9:31 am

I have some small versions of that but they obviously were not intended for outdoor use (they have self-destructed)

9:34 am

ok, finally nbt, better get on with my day. bbl!

9:38 am

we have an overhang on our patio so when the rain is nice and gentle i roll it out for a watering and roll it back for protection

9:40 am

the parsley is doing fine but the dill is struggling this year

9:41 am

al 6/24 anyone?

9:41 am

al plus a mixed up fight for honour

9:41 am

a+ you write this to go shopping with

9:42 am

oops wrong one nm crossy

9:42 am

thank you haz

9:42 am

You're welcome.

9:43 am

think this is another stinker grid..

9:43 am

Affirmative.

9:43 am

did I hear that morewords was going to begin charging $ 1 per word search these days?

9:44 am

If they do, I'm going to be ruined.

9:44 am

*lol*

9:44 am

what??!

9:45 am

if they do,that site will die a fast death

9:46 am

now,i would pay 4 dollars for lickety,but not a dollar a word for morewords lol

9:46 am

14*

9:46 am

That's how rumours get started. By tonight there'll be an online petition begging morewords to stay free.

9:47 am

it seems like half the words In this grid I've never seen before

9:47 am

And the chances are that you'll never see them again.

9:49 am

fine with me

9:49 am

I was more aghast at the idea of Babble charging amonthly membership fee.. : O

9:50 am

Or a monthly

9:51 am

whose Idea was that molly?

9:52 am

No clue. I just remember people talking about the new Babble and how Dr. God could make a bundle charging monthly membership. Actually, I think he would lose people doing that. Yearly maybe but not monthly.

9:53 am

is there anyone we can blame that on?

9:54 am

Am I going to have to trawl the archives?

9:59 am

anyone have the last co 6/24?

10:00 am

co6/24- fruit sauce

10:00 am

thank you

10:00 am

c's are finito

10:00 am

You're welcome.

10:01 am

I am just not getting anywhere in this grid..ugh

10:01 am

It's not a grid that welcomes.

10:03 am

And I have to go. Be strong, use the list and don't forget morewords while it's still free. Who knows when that might change?

10:03 am

(Stirring the pot a little more)

10:03 am

lol.. thanks haz

10:03 am

Off I go... bye!

10:04 am

bye for now

10:15 am

de6/21 #1 anyone?

10:19 am

10:20 am

I think it's the acne one I have the realty one

10:22 am

I sure don't see anythign

10:22 am

sorry, was off looking for my glasses!

10:47 am

i have my dreaded first pair of glasses beside me.i do not need them for driving,or daily moving around but i now need them for reading,so i am always forgetting them

10:50 am

first al 7/36 plz

10:53 am

thank god i can bump up the font sizes on my e-reader;)

10:54 am

one advantage to being blind as a bat without my glasses is that I seldom forget them :-)

10:55 am

although if I am in a strange place and put them down somewhere I often have to ask for help finding them :-/

10:55 am

It's all about contact lenses, people. Vanity before practicality.

10:55 am

Uh oh. I think I just made up a word.

10:56 am

lol,contacts are not much good for me at this point,yea ill be able to read,but i would drive my car off a cliff lol

10:56 am

unless they have trifocal contacts now;))

10:57 am

Uhg. I know they have bi-focal contacts. If you need tri-focals, might as well spring for the laser surgery.

10:57 am

10:58 am

Hello

Time for lunch. BBL.

11:09 am

11:09 am

and thx, lbd!

11:09 am

that si4 is a babblet, UU

11:10 am

and a geology one apparently :-/

11:10 am

I've probably found it before by mistyping...

11:11 am

lol, i think that's how i find a lot of words!

11:13 am

hard to imagine there are 14 v words in this grid - I'm not sure I even KNOW 14 v words!

11:17 am

i have exactly 4 v words atm

11:17 am

nyaah - I have 5 :-)

11:18 am

anyway, time for the rest of my coffee

11:18 am

:P

11:19 am

now i have 6:P

11:23 am

This grid is designed to humble those of us that have been thinking we're getting good at this. ;-)

11:23 am

no kidding, jan!

11:24 am

and I found another v word, so there! and am going to refill coffee and find out why we have no running water.

11:25 am

it is indeed humbling me,but as long as i can keep ahead of sue on v words,i will be happy;))))

11:25 am

Dear God Sue, first no AC now no running water. Are you going primitive on us? : D

11:25 am

I'm up to 10 v words now...and think the stats have to be defective, there can't be anymore

11:26 am

loca

11:26 am

Coming into the home stretch, it's Jan by a length!!

11:26 am

Oops, that'll teach me...

11:27 am

have 7 v words now:)

11:27 am

While in the PB I will think about v words...

11:27 am

lol

11:28 am

8 v words..

11:28 am

Livin' la vida Jan

11:28 am

9

11:28 am

One thing--there are some unusual past tenses in those v's

11:29 am

just found the oen that is a pt to get a travel permit

11:31 am

*yawns, stretches* man, after last week, i am SO GLADD my manager is finally coming back tomorrow. one thing i can cross off of my list of stressors!

11:31 am

Yeah, that one is particularly strange. Ironically, I have to stop on my way to work and pick up my passport from a place that sends them away to get foreign vi/4's. So it will be vi/6 appropriately.

11:32 am

thx, crossy, that got me two more, but I still only have 8 :-)

11:32 am

OK all 14 accounted for. Now on to the c's...

11:32 am

and molly, I live in a very old house that has had a lot of very cheap work done on it, so a lot of things about it are weird.

11:33 am

Sue, are you in the chem/biochem branches of science? If so, there are three related words that you may use in experiments.

11:33 am

the reason there wasn't any water upstairs was because the washing machine was running and someone flushed the toilet. that didn't leave any for the rest of the house.

11:33 am

And three are musically related...

11:33 am

hi, all--need help with my last word --ac6/24?

11:33 am

And two have to do with small mammals

11:33 am

unfortunately, jan, I do high energy physics, and haven't taken chemistry since high school

11:34 am

although I do have two v words that are little glass containers

11:34 am

and two that involve small mammals

11:34 am

will look for musical words now!

11:34 am

ac + vowel + hawaiian flower necklace

11:34 am

And when you used them in the past...your work was vi/6?

11:35 am

i have twelve now(crossy one key is busted)

11:35 am

well, so it was! who knew?

11:35 am

off to do something constructive. good luck with this beast

11:35 am

2 more to go

11:35 am

And what a wiater says in a French restaurant when your entree arrives

11:35 am

that's waiter...

11:36 am

And a Roman construction for moving water

11:36 am

ty, lbd! thought i had tried all combos, but obviously missed that one!

11:36 am

anyone need a clue?

11:36 am

ty for all the wonder clues everyone

11:36 am

ty jan..heeded that one'

11:37 am

ha! got all the v's. thx, all, especially jan!

11:37 am

YVW...

11:37 am

crossy is missing one v

11:37 am

want a clue, crossy?

11:38 am

The French cloth, perhaps?

11:38 am

someone wanted to give me a bass vi4/7 once because she wanted to play with me; I pointed out that she already had someone; she said I was better than he was; I pointed out that I didn't play it at all but she said that as soon as I learned I'd be better than he was (if that makes any sense)

11:38 am

must be the one jan..looking....

11:39 am

I turned her down, though, as I really had to focus on writing my dissertation - oh well...

11:48 am

Hi does anyone have a clue for the ki7 plz?

11:48 am

Bombs power are measured in it, at least in Europe

11:49 am

thanks. I got it!

11:49 am

Sue there is no end to your talents. : D

11:50 am

ah - another entry for the physics babblets!

11:50 am

so, heard from mom this morning, and it sounds like they FINALLY have a diagnosis for my dad...

11:50 am

well, they kind of ended there, molly, as I pretty much gave up music (except choral music) to focus on physics

11:51 am

oh, eva, that is great! even if it is not good, I mean, it is good to know.

11:51 am

"neurological neuropathy from acute spinal arthritis"

11:51 am

ah. do they know what part of his spine is affected? (it sounds a little bit like what is going on with my neck)

11:52 am

What's the treatment Eva?

11:52 am

im not sure, as thats all her email said. they will be moving him (probably tomorrow) temporarily to a nursing home to undergo physical therapy until he can walk again, then he can return home.

11:53 am

That all sounds positive. Hopefully surgery won't be needed.

11:54 am

doesnt seem so, jan. im just hoping he is up to the challenge. mom said when that news came in, his first reaction was of the "oh, not a nursing home -- now i will NEVER go home" variety... and as we all know, outlook is SO much of it...

11:56 am

Does the nursing home have separate areas from the permanent residents for the physical therapy folks? My mom's nursing home did--in fact, lots of the PT patients were fairly young (accidents, strokes, etc.) and they were definitely working towards going beck home.

11:56 am

Well hopefully he will realize that the harder he works on his therapy, the faster he will be out of that place.

11:56 am

personally, im hoping the home they send him to is one that doesnt allow drinking or smoking of ANY sort. not only will that be good for his health, but it will also motivate him to work harder on the PT to go home faster...

11:57 am

Sounds like what my dad did, eva; he was there for about 5 weeks. They can be very depressing places so if you and your mom can keep him upbeat and working on recovery that will be very helpful.

11:57 am

jan, not sure which one he is going to, but i would assume that to be the case. but, he turns 70 this year, so its not like he would be one of the "younger folks"

11:57 am

And I don't think any of them allow you to smoke or drink, at least inside (I think they could go outside - far outside - to smoke)

11:57 am

Hi everyone. How many words today, please?

11:58 am

185, krysten

11:58 am

Interesting--my mother's roomie in the Alzheimer's wing used to have port sneaked it for a bedtime tipple. I think the staff was fully aware but they chose to look the other way.

11:58 am

my grandmothers nursing home allowed her a glass of sherry before bed each night, as she was physically healthy, and it was her regular routine for years. and, as you said, some allow you to smoke outside. im hoping for one that bans it all outright.

11:59 am

anyway, eva, I've moved my dad's story below the physics babblets in my profile but it is still there - he turned 90 in March, so please feel free to use him as an example if that is helpful :-)

11:59 am

thanks sue. so hard today since the internet here at work is really unsteady.

11:59 am

he is now fully recovered...

12:00 pm

I am LOVING the stories about the elders getting their nightly glass of wine.

12:00 pm

ha, molly, in my dad's case it is Jack Daniels but he didn't want it in the rehab center - saved it for when he got home.

12:01 pm

Sue, I think I could have a great evening with your Dad, having some Jack and listening to him tell stories.

12:01 pm

first to 5/10??

12:01 pm

anyway it is now noon here and 90 degrees out so I suppose if I am going to show my face at work (which technically I don't have to since they only pay me one month's salary for the three summer months) I should get going.

12:02 pm

and molly, I think you would love my dad - he has lots of stories!! (he's even written his memoirs)

12:02 pm

evening all

12:03 pm

and i am off - hi, kazz, and see you all soon!

12:03 pm

I always think the idea that academics have the summer off is one of the crueler academic jokes. I think I work harder in the summer than during the school year.

12:05 pm

The first one I have sammysmom is what bread is after you put it into an oven

12:05 pm

thanks car

12:13 pm

In our county, teachers get paid a set salary that is divided up into twelve months of payments. That way, they don't go the summers with no paycheck.

12:17 pm

Any clues for the cu6 & 7?

12:18 pm

Don't have it yet Judi.

12:18 pm

starts with what cows chew ... and the whole word means to beat with a stick ...

12:18 pm

it's an old fashioned word for a club/ weapon

12:19 pm

love the Mr. Bill icon, Judi :)

12:19 pm

TY!

12:20 pm

Ty. Never would have found that one.

12:20 pm

I'd like to beat this grid with a stick.

12:21 pm

I need stats for the E please?

12:22 pm

e 4/4, 5/16

12:22 pm

TY!

12:24 pm

this grid is very hard even with the list

12:26 pm

This grid is full of gibberish. Starting with the very first word, ac5. What happens when you get ac5? Do you put on acoat?

12:26 pm

: )

12:27 pm

ahhh..crossy has soaped his muscular mass down in a delightful shower for 2 and am now lounging around in pj bottoms sipping ice cold Arizona iced tea with ginsing:) tis the life:)

12:28 pm

12:30 pm

Poteen!

12:30 pm

Ding! Ding! Ding! Car.ee gets the Cosmo!

12:31 pm

(I was just adding another kind of liquor to the list)

12:31 pm

Rims martini glass with pink sugar and sends it over to Judi....

12:32 pm

*sigh* Gave up drinking vodka. Triggered the migraines.

12:32 pm

Must have been the cranberry juice. :p

12:33 pm

how are there 9 h words?

12:34 pm

i have 7

12:34 pm

*slips fingers around Judi's cosmos glass*

12:34 pm

I have 8 of them...so I know at least 8 of them are real!

12:34 pm

now I have 8 H words

12:34 pm

the H words all hi**!

12:34 pm

The h's aren't too hellish (compared to the i's).

12:35 pm

hi!!

12:35 pm

why not past tense of the Hawaiian dance? that should be a word :(

12:35 pm

Hi Ruby!

12:35 pm

except for the hawaian dance

12:35 pm

hi ruby

12:35 pm

you funny ruby

12:35 pm

hello jmc and car.

12:35 pm

it is a noun lil!

12:35 pm

ty onyx!

12:36 pm

perhaps we could put on a latin ending....

12:36 pm

hi dos

12:36 pm

what is a noun, jmc?

12:36 pm

the hawiian dance

12:36 pm

Got 'em all!

12:36 pm

therefore no pt

12:37 pm

and it should have a past tense seeing as you can do it twice ...;

12:37 pm

hmmm i don't agree

12:39 pm

let get some lovely hawaiian ladies here to dance while we consider this?

12:39 pm

eating English bet chips and drinking vodka (while looking for a few words but who cares?)

12:39 pm

beet*

12:39 pm

I took hula when I lived in Hawai'i...will that do?

12:39 pm

what's in a Cosmo?

12:39 pm

Lil, you wouldn't say they hu4ed, you would say they did the hu4. I think.

12:39 pm

just fine..get those hips swivelling

12:40 pm

Vodka, triple sec, cranberry and lime Ruby

12:40 pm

that sounds wonderful

12:40 pm

and good for you, too

12:40 pm

Puts on grass skirt and coconut bra....

12:41 pm

if you have chips with it, you have almost all the food groups

12:41 pm

It's basically a Kamikaze with cranberry added.

12:41 pm

got my h's yeah! I'd love a martini

12:42 pm

never had a kamikaze, either....

12:42 pm

i should make some crossys famous long island iced tea....

12:43 pm

this sounds like a party -- crossy mixing drinks, car.eeyore dancing, molly, onyx and ruby drinking. How bad is that?

12:43 pm

the Hawaiian dictionary online says hu4 is a noun/transitive verb

12:43 pm

:)

12:43 pm

nothing can go wrong;))

12:43 pm

and lil* parsing the drinks!!!!

12:44 pm

A transvestite noun. Fascinating.

12:44 pm

i'll bring some guacamole...

12:44 pm

mahalo :)

12:44 pm

hi again, all! I survived the walk to work despite the 92 degree heat (actually I don't think that thermometer is right but i'll take it)

12:44 pm

I am indulging in a small bowl of coconut pineapple ice cream as we speak....O.....M.....G!

12:44 pm

oh no, ms. judi!!!!

12:44 pm

I'll make some chips

12:44 pm

coconut is my favorite!!!!!

12:44 pm

It is amazing!

12:45 pm

I'm packing it in with 29 left. This one is just too much of a brain drain.

12:45 pm

anyway, hi to car, ruby, lil, onyx, judi, crossy, molly, dose...

12:45 pm

There is a coffee shop around here that makes Coconut Cream smoothies in the summer...with shredded coconut in them!!!!!

12:45 pm

Hi uusue!

12:45 pm

omg, car, sounds WONDERFUL!!!

12:45 pm

Don't leave Judi...the party is just getting rolling!

12:46 pm

The little flakes of coconut get in the straw...soooo yummmmmmy!

12:46 pm

Gotta jet. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

12:46 pm

but will it go through a straw?

12:46 pm

oooh coconut smoothies

12:46 pm

i have part of a bag of shredded coconut at home. i can have coconut for dinner, right??

12:46 pm

the party is better than the grid!

12:46 pm

Go for it Eva!

12:46 pm

(at the moment I am just drinking water, trying to rehydrate - do not like this weather)

12:46 pm

Yes, it does go through the straw....and the fresh whipped cream on top....too divine!

12:46 pm

absolutely, eva! it's a fruit, right?

12:47 pm

car, i can imagine that going over well with the hubby. "so, what did you have for dinner before your running class tonight?" "coconut." "cool, what else? "more coconut..."

12:48 pm

Try this Eva....oh honey! My Babble friends told me about the best new diet craze!!!! Coconut!!!! I am dong 1 whole day of eating coconut and then once a day for a week! I am so excited!

12:48 pm

since my husband chided me for eating too much (huh?), I am doubling up on desserts

12:49 pm

mmmmm.....coconut diet....

12:49 pm

coconut smoothies with rum in them, and cocnut flan...

12:50 pm

for those that would like a crossy long island iced tea: /2 ounce each og gin,rum,vodka and trppile sec use a tall frosted glass add 3/4 glass of pink lemonade(no pulp) and add a splash of coke or pepsi.add shaved ice and garnish with slice of lemon or lime

12:50 pm

or just pour rum into a coconut and stick a straw in - you just keep adding rub

12:50 pm

m

12:51 pm

biab

12:51 pm

one half ounce each

12:51 pm

poink

12:51 pm

anyone have the ac6?

12:52 pm

Check this out....Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life." Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers.

12:54 pm

I don't lil*monkey....searching now....

12:54 pm

When I was in Tonga (on an Earthwatch expedition researching giant clams) we would go to the market every morning and buy green coconuts to drink later - coconut water is very good, and a good source of drinkable water in a place surrounded by salt water

12:55 pm

ac6 = ac + vowel + Hawaiian garland (since we are talking about coconut anyway :-)

12:55 pm

Ty uusue!

12:55 pm

thanks sue!

12:56 pm

OK....got to finish my work! I would MUCH rather stay and play here in BabbleLand though!

12:56 pm

ty sue

12:56 pm

{{car.}}

12:57 pm

{{ruby}}

12:58 pm

ty sue. earth watch? sounds interesting

1:03 pm

it was great, onyx! I was single at the time and had some extra money, so I could afford to do it - basically it's a tax deductible vacation where you go help someone's research

1:03 pm

sounds terrific, sue

1:04 pm

you can find them at www.earthwatch.org

Any clue for cl5/14? Thanks

1:05 pm

the expedition I did isn't available any more (not surprising as it was almost 25 years ago) but there are lots of others.

1:05 pm

add a vowel to the cl4/6, kenny

Thanks uusue!

1:08 pm

good night everybody. I give up with 71 left!

1:09 pm

Interesting about coconut oil Car. Trees are very medicinal. Aspirin comes from a derivative of the willow tree.

1:09 pm

1:31 pm

Hi Red, how goes the healing?

Same stuff. I am trying to resist the urge to overanalyze every little symptom.

1:36 pm

It's got to be hard to be a patient when you are a nurse.

I just worry about this and that, but overall, i think things are going alright. Not much more I can do...watching turner classic movies...

Head it is hot and steamy up your way Molly.

1:38 pm

Not so bad today but later in the week we'll be near 100. Blargh.

2:21 pm

bye, gwen! nice to see you, however briefly!

2:25 pm

Are the il's normal words?

2:26 pm

they're kind of technically medical, hego, so I suppose it depends on what you think of as normal :-)

2:27 pm

that's normal for me. ty

2:27 pm

(at least this is true of the two I've found; I don't know how many there are)

2:27 pm

LOL. Fox News used a photo of tina fey accidentally while covering sarah palin

2:27 pm

2:36 pm

oh ok so was i :)

2:37 pm

yes, the past tense of the fossil fuel

2:37 pm

ty for the homers poem clue,would never have seen that one

2:37 pm

I think that is a fairly common past tense, in reference to snakes

2:37 pm

ywCrossy

2:37 pm

not the snaky one, molly, unless they've been eating fossil fuels...

2:39 pm

My mistake. I agree with you then, odd past tense.

2:39 pm

ah thanks molly for that co6

Hi Peri

hi, stid!

2:43 pm

I learned a good lesson today. Always sign up for a blood drive. I decided to go over to the local chruch after my errands today and no one was there and the door was locked. I called the Red Cross who informed me that it had been cancelled. I had not signed up since I did not know when I would be available today. But I did drink extra water and made sure I got enough iron in my food. So it was frustrating but not the end of the world

2:43 pm

hi stiddy

2:43 pm

just wanted to do a good thing today and was not able to ;(

2:43 pm

did they cancel it because no one signed up?

2:45 pm

Bye for now All.

2:45 pm

next drive is at the local hospital on 6/30. I will wait til about a week before to call and sign up

2:45 pm

there is a ki 7. hmmmm

5:01 pm

5:01 pm

do u have the vi7?

Hi Monkey. I am again in love with the Physical therapists, some of them anyway.

5:01 pm

OK thanks uusue! Hi RED, how's the patient????

I only have a cu7. but I have no list yet.

5:02 pm

wow, they must be pretty good, red! I often hated mine (well, depending on what I was recovering from - the knee replacements were the worst)

5:02 pm

lol, red, that seems to be the one I am missing!

I think I am OK, My hip feels very loose and strange...but that may be because it has never been unimpinged.... They massage my piriformis....I love them...

5:02 pm

ai7 x 2, cu7, ki7, oc7, to7 and vi7

5:03 pm

none of them normal lol

It has become obvious that I am fairly tolerant of pain. So I am tending to do better with this part of recovery.

5:04 pm

Hang in there red :)

plus we cant adduct or abduct the hip, so..that would probably make me cry.

5:04 pm

Well, the cu7 can't be a normal plural of the cu6 that I have...

the beating thing Sue?

5:05 pm

right, that one :-)

5:05 pm

AL7 x2, not Ai

5:05 pm

theres only one cu6 and one cu7

Nice inside the house. Bit cold and miserable out there - seems we will have a proper Winter this year

well, maybe if you have a proper winter, we shall have a proper summer -- didn't last year.

8:00 pm

and what is happening with you Stid?

8:02 pm

well, I have apparently finished the Master's program -- just waiting for the papers to come in the mail. volunteering now with my teacher friends until the end of the school year.

8:03 pm

Wow...Congrats - that was a looong slog! and then you go hunting for a position?

8:05 pm

yes, I will substitute teach in the fall, and wait until mid-year to look for real. By then I will have more references and people will already know who I am. I am limited in where I can teach by where I live. Not going to move to a city, so have to wait for the local (rural) districts to have some openings.

8:07 pm

Hope you don't have to wait too long, some of hose Baby Boomers must be thinking of retiring soon surely

8:07 pm

Congratulations stidmama on getting your Masters. I have to say you picked a great profession! Although not so great now in my district with all of the layoffs.

8:08 pm

*grin* I am just shy of being a "boomer" myself, Lynxxx! a couple more years before most currently employed teachers are willing to retire, I think.

8:08 pm

thanks min

8:08 pm

sorry, got distracted. Hi Lynxxx!

8:09 pm

yeah, us boomers are itching to retire, unfortunately, there may not be much for pensions the way things are going.

i am as well but am holding off, will be 100 on hursday, huddling my pots in the shade until it cools off.

8:59 pm

Not so warm here in UK, TO.

second het wave of the season begins tomorrow

9:00 pm

this past weekend was the first time anyone could even get in their gardens around here (I think). THe weather has been cold and rainy for so long....

9:00 pm

I'm pleased that we are getting intermittent nights of rain - it makes my clay soil so much more friable, and much eaiser to dig weeds etc., out.

9:02 pm

vi 7 - bridge train goes over - vi + 1st vowel + du 4/7

ihave all clay, extended a bed just a foot and my back is sore from the digging.

9:02 pm

My tomato plants are doing well, and even the new runner bean strain of plants are putting on some growth. The old strain would have been at the top of the canes and tangling themselves together by now.

are there 2 vi7?

9:03 pm

TO - you need to add lots of composted material and grit. DSo that over a number of years, plus adding leaf mould, and it starts to become friable.

jacs, i have two mini roma tomato plants, not what they told me they were but i am stuck with them. intersting but two are not enough

9:04 pm

3 vi 6 - but only one vi 7

ty teach

9:04 pm

No, only one vi7 - the thing that passes over water.

google them, grape size but roma taste and thin skin

9:05 pm

(Roman thing.)

suitable for sauce but one would need tons

9:06 pm

TO - if you want tons of tomatoes, Google Ildi. It's a yellow fruit.

not tons, just romas enogh for mozz & basil salad. don't like them for anything else

i have NO l words from last column]

9:09 pm

TO - here's a pic of just one truss off Ildi http://tinyurl.com/5wrdxna

9:09 pm

To - you just typed one 'l' word from the final column.

i have that word an alas still white box

9:10 pm

Then there's la4.5 - sounds like what you did when you lay down on your bed.

9:10 pm

la5/12 - soup spoon.

jacs they are grape tomatoes as well? nice looking, yellow ones are generally lower acid

9:11 pm

le4/5 - heavy metal.

9:12 pm

TO - yes. Try to find the seeds there. If not, I'll send you some.

i do beleive i have seen them. ty jacs

i need to go to ed, i'llnot finish tonight

9:18 pm

Hello Herin.x

HI Jac

9:19 pm

Busy but well. And you?

I have to go out in this horrid cold weather

9:20 pm

Hi Herin.

HI Nef

9:21 pm

why do you need to go out?

Pay bills, interview, errr stuff. Mostly 10 min worth of stuff

And to buy new shoes for b.f as he got paid today and he needs new work shoes

9:22 pm

It's been so rainy and cold here (for summer) that this weekend was Heaven. Today and tomorrow, however, they are giving heat index warnings (95 F today

I did see some of my USA friends had snow

9:24 pm

Must be high up in the mountains

9:24 pm

I'm missing my daughter, whose latest travels have had her in Oz, Taz, and Bali, and now back in Oz. She's off to Canada soon, first to stay with relatives, then with friends and then with relatives again before she comes back home. But she wants to go back to Oz and stay there. I knew she would and I'm gutted.

Nef not really

Jac immigrate here too

9:25 pm

Herin - not my sort of place. I'd prefer NZ or Taz.

9:25 pm

clues for co 6/24 (last one) please

9:26 pm

But I love GB! I don't really want to leave.

9:27 pm

wvteach - the main acting part with another in a film.

Taz is nice

9:27 pm

(Not co-star!)

9:27 pm

co 6/24 is co plus anagagram of a Kinks song wvteach

9:28 pm

jacula - i have that one min - what is Kinks

Hi Mini

9:29 pm

Oh last co6! That is a fruit or veg pouring sauce.

9:29 pm

wvteach - you have never heard of The Kinks?

9:30 pm

Actually, it wasn't The Kinks it was The Kingsmen who is a group with a song which repeated it's own name.

9:30 pm

sorry - i haven't but just googled them and saw that there was a list of more than 600 songs

9:30 pm

http://tinyurl.com/namx6e

O poo I think I crashed google

9:34 pm

it still works for my Herin

9:35 pm

Babble friends - just learned earlier tonight that my partner's best buddy, a guy he's known for over fifty years, died April 28. Sudden heart attack - he was a firefighter and a Vietnam vet. Very sad...

9:36 pm

clue for the first ac5/14 pls

Sorry to hear that, sue.

9:36 pm

sorry sue

9:37 pm

ac 5/14 is a plus it is very co** in the winter suefrad.

9:38 pm

ty min

Blressings Sue.

9:38 pm

Thx - he is pretty shredded.

9:39 pm

yw

Understandably so Sue.

9:40 pm

sorry to hear that sue; It must be tough for your partner.

9:41 pm

eight words & I need to break down and ask for clues

9:41 pm

ild

9:41 pm

Oops!

9:42 pm

I knew him too, back when we were young, but hadn't seen him in over 40 years (long story for another time)

9:45 pm

did your partner find out back when his friend passed away; or did he just find out too?

9:46 pm

how can he be a best buddy and they not see each other for 40 years? I don't get it

9:46 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ai 5/10 word please?

9:47 pm

a walkway in the movie theater minver

9:47 pm

Actually, I need that first ai 5/10 word if you have it.

9:47 pm

sick.. past tense

9:48 pm

Min - French garlic mayo dressing. Sounds like it should be about the lungs and breathing.

9:48 pm

No,he just found out tonight - realized he hadn't heard from his friend for a while - he lived in FL and we are in IL - tried to call and got his friends sister.

9:48 pm

Never mind!My monkeys finally found the ai5/10 word

9:49 pm

Not hearing from a best friend for 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years just happens as life goes on its way for both of you. It doesn't mean the connection is not still there.

9:50 pm

Ruru, my partner and his friend have been in touch all along. But my partner and I were apart for 40 years. We dated in high school and just got back together about 3 years ago.

9:50 pm

I would think that after 40 years.. you'd be acquaintances and not best friends.

9:50 pm

that's really cool uu.. nice story

Sue are you saying that you are now with your high school sweetheart after all this time?

9:51 pm

If I didn't hear from my best friend for 10 years; it would be hard to still call that person a best friend. Uusue is the one who knew the guy 40 years ago; it's her partner that was the best friend

9:51 pm

*buys prom dress for UU*

9:52 pm

oh.. got it.. sorry I misunderstood the chat

9:52 pm

So the two of them really were close. And yes, herein, you have it right.

9:52 pm

Can I have a clue for 2nd to la4/4 co5/16 word please

Awwwwwwwwwwwww

9:53 pm

second co 5/26 is to be able to do something he co* do it

9:53 pm

Sorry I have a complicated life, and am typing on my phone to boot...

9:54 pm

I'm still keeping you in my prayers and sending healing thoughts your way.

10:47 pm

yay for valium! :)

10:47 pm

then having my hair washed and dried and going out to tapas and wine with lickety tomorrow... keep myself busy with a lunch with a friend somewhere in the middle of all that

10:47 pm

valium works well if you need it!!

10:48 pm

Thursday is a big day for me too; I'm seeing an allergist and then having a cortisone injection into my bad hip. I'm worrying that my allergies will cause problems with my hip replacement

10:49 pm

LOL! Valium is NOT a good drug for me! I'm glad it's helping you! :-)

10:50 pm

i've never actually taken it...

10:50 pm

seems to do good things for bruce at dentists visits

10:51 pm

I haven't either; but I don't do well with any CNS depressant drugs (ie: narcotics, anesthesia, pain meds, etc)

Good evening, I need help on the last co6/24, please?

10:52 pm

and that includes alcohol. I get too drugged too fast

10:54 pm

do you have the co 5/16 before it, Marc?

yes

10:54 pm

It starts with the same first 4 letters, then add the singular of "are"

thanks got it

10:56 pm

yw

10:58 pm

hi marc

11:01 pm

hey all!

11:01 pm

oh jes, can I ask you a doggie-related question or are you "done" for the day?

11:01 pm

hi stid. How are you?

11:02 pm

go for it, stid

11:02 pm

((((NEF)))) I am done. I slept ALL day Saturday (really -- woke up for breakfast lunch and dinner only!), and now good to go again!

11:03 pm

That's good to hear, stid! You really needed that rest!

11:03 pm

okay, Lucky impaled himself on a dead blackberry vine Sunday going after a toy. It went in his mouth and stuck in the back of his throat. I had to pull it out with my hand. Today he is "owie" whenever he tries to eat (so I gave him canned salmon - dog food). I think I got the whole thorn and stick out. BUT should I worry if he doesn't feel all better by tomorrow evening?

11:04 pm

he doesn't seem to be bleeding, btw

11:05 pm

Oh, MAN, Stid! THAT sounds awful!

11:05 pm

there was a good bit of bleeding, of course -- wasn't sure at first if it was mine or his! LOL he bit down a couple times when I was trying to help him. (I am fine, however, no worries)

11:06 pm

he's such a good boy. I just hate it when he doesn't eat, though because he doesn't carry any extra weight

11:06 pm

concerns would be infection and puncture through the wall of the throat

11:06 pm

he definitely had a thorn in the throat, but at the back end near where the epiglottis would be in a human

11:07 pm

signs of infection hot dry nose?

11:07 pm

sorry; watching penn and teller and distracted

11:08 pm

epiglottis or uvula, stid?

11:08 pm

that's okay -- WAY more entertaining than dog ick... LOL uvula -- thanks Nef

11:08 pm

watch for swelling in the lower throat--fluid accumulation

11:08 pm

watch for swelling in the lower throat--fluid accumulation

11:08 pm

okay, I can do that.

11:09 pm

if there's air leaking through a puncture, you may notice a crackly feel/sound when you put pressure on the skin on the back of the neck

11:10 pm

that's an emergency

11:10 pm

epiglottis would be very serious, stid; that's what closes the airway off when we swallow

11:10 pm

okay, I don't think that's the case, but will check again

11:10 pm

a dog's nose being warmer than your hand is just normal, doesn't mean a fever. normal temperature is 101. get a thermometer and take his temperature, that's the most reliable way to know if he's got a fever

11:10 pm

anything over 103 is a fever

11:10 pm

it's not the epiglottis -- wrong side of the throat

11:11 pm

normal is 101, fever at 103. Okay *wonders where dog thermometer is hiding*

11:12 pm

that crackly feeling is like the bubble pkg wrapping under the skin

11:12 pm

that crackly bit sounds like it would be pretty obvious, yes?

11:13 pm

not always, but it's definitely weird. (I'm not sure what it would feel like under a dog's fur)

11:14 pm

ewwww. my skin is crawling just thinking about crackly fur-covered bubble wrap.... *shudder*

11:14 pm

I *think* that that is a rectal temp too, stid

11:14 pm

feels like ... crinkly, you can hear it as well as feel it. like rice crispies sounds :)

11:14 pm

yes, it has to be rectal with dogs. I have to hold him up by the tummy or he'll be dangerous.

11:14 pm

and yes, rectal--oral temp attempts usually result in the dog chewing up the thermometer

11:15 pm

I might just go ahead and take him in tomorrow evening if he is still acting like he's afraid and jittery. Even if his temp is okay. Better safe than sorry. He's my baby now that the boys are so big....

11:15 pm

I might just go ahead and take him in tomorrow evening if he is still acting like he's afraid and jittery. Even if his temp is okay. Better safe than sorry. He's my baby now that the boys are so big....

11:16 pm

Oh! LOL last week for the concert at the boys' school stidkid #2 came into the living room and said, "Mom, I think my jacket (tux) shrank" -- NOPE. after two years at one size, he started growing again! *groan*

11:16 pm

Don't worry; it's really scary under a person's skin! It sounds like someone playing with the cellophane that is (or used to be?) around a cigarette pkg. (I don't smoke, but that was how it was described to me and that is the best description I've ever heard)

11:17 pm

I never smoked, but I know that sound well.

11:17 pm

good description, nef

11:18 pm

how old is stidkid#2, now?

11:19 pm

well, I don't say the kids' ages in the log... but he's old enough to drive -- if he ever earns that right! LOL

Hello Babble Friends, am I seeing things or is this yesterday's puzzle?????

11:20 pm

thanks so much jes -- I was going to call the vet in the morning if I hadn't seen you, but I would have worried all night. I will check his temp and not worry if it's normal (pretty sure it is) and then call in the morning and make an appointment for him later in the day.

11:20 pm

hey gardner -- another 40 minutes to flip

11:20 pm

did you refresh your page? THis is a new puzzle to me

Thank you, I would hate to think I was losing me mind'

11:21 pm

glad to help, stid

11:21 pm

and stidkid #1 is graduating from high school next week!

11:22 pm

well, not losing your mind about this... LOL no guarantees about anything else! (at least that is how I am feeling today -- individually things are in order, but collectively is another matter for me)

11:22 pm

Oh dear! I need to be in bed and asleep! (next 2 days are going to be long and hard) Stid; the boys are growing up too fast!

11:23 pm

((Nef)) sweet dreams. See you again soon!

11:23 pm

sleep sweet, nef

11:23 pm
