fo + smart mouthed
he is a touchy moron who ignores our family, except Maddison (whom he adores) and abuses me at any chance he gets when I say something
plural of the fo 5 similar to the Bob dancer with a different vowel
aah a double!
NO - wrong palce!
ewwww.. younger brother?

he was close.
Need the 5
yep 7 years younger and drugs have rotted his brain
wow mrp
well, we were served pumpkin soup and water
think old bones??
too bad we can't pick our family sometimes
wow.
were you wearing glass slippers?
i had the best relationship with him until 2007... then he changed big time.
no - I was all mis-aligned. Was missing the first 4 - got it and fire birds

good for you mr p
I need 2 s's and 2 n's
10
my brother and i get along.. but I don't get along with my SIL
I get along with 2 of 5 siblings
i need 2 n's an s and a t
it is hard with family ruru
yougest of 9.
hurts when my own brother has such disrespect for his family. and we supported him fully and protected him always
i haven't spoken to my sister in 10 years - my brother and i get along great
yeah.. especially my family
I'm right there with ya, ru
you, too, saph
oooh, down to 2 now :)
just n's
3 for me now
2 ns and a t
I need 2 n's, too...my t's are: ta 4 4 to 4 4
I have all the t's
I went to a wedding 20 years ago.. and my Mother who hadn't seen me for years said: Gee.. you've gained a lot of weight.... not.. how are you? what's your life like.. how do we repair our relationship..etc
there is a to 4/4
yup.. that's what I have.LOL
and another ta 4/4
ah ruru.
know that feeling ruru... haven't seen my mother for 15 years
sounds like mine, ru...last time she saw me, she said my hair looked different...yeah, it was longer cause it grows!
so... how are you? what's your life like?
Mine died 6 days after I turned 20
I haven't spoken to anyone in my family in years. My mother once complained about my hair being too curly. It's natural and I was born with it...
oh.. wow..
ruru sounds like my sister - went to her wedding and I went to congratulate her adfter ceremony and she told me to get out of her way so she could go talk to her new family - actually pushed my daughter away from her
yeah pini... amazing really
yikes!
hi all.
I am the oldest kid(&)!) and am expected to cjeck eith them about anything I might want to do
oh hoot, how delightful of her to say that.... NOT
my life is good / better without them actually
I congratulated her husband and walked out and have not spoken to her since
agreed, ru...
I get that saphyre
hi doxy
although there are times I miss the 'fantasy' of having a family that cares
saphy... that is disgusting!
what a mole!
I am so grateful that I love my daughter's new MIL.
yes it is - but her loss - no one speaks to her from our family now
I can't find the two n's on the top.
me either
I am still close with her kids
same here saphy... my mother is a lonely old woman
me either!
they dont even like her....
sorry about the typing. but this bringd out the anger in me. The best thing I ever did is find the BF. His wife did a really bad number on him. We have healed each other.
so is my mother
mine too
glad you found someone special hoot - it makes the world of difference
the n's are chemicals I think - use the hi point
does he pun hoot?
i need to collect your recollections of your mother's and write a book
oh boy does it!
i have so much to tell about the hurt, that could help people heal
NO!
awww too bad
My mother was a downer from the gitgo. I finally realised part (I think) was because I was a better cook and housekeeper.
My mother is 94 - she told me she loved me for the first time 4 yhears ago - my sister is all she ever cared about - and now my sister doesn't even call her - but I am ok with it - it made me stronger i think
And I am very close with my daughters and my granddaughter
It was very weird. Italian families are supposed to be close but I was the butt of everyone
That's what I thought, too, hoot...guess we were blinded
lol same here
I sent a christmas card about 20 years ago to my folks... it had a rocking chair on the porch of a house and it said on the card: This Hoiliday it is especially important to be nice to your children ... and the inside said " because they pick out the nursing home".. ya know I never heard from them afterwards.. I wonder why?
They'd complain about a sweater I bought and they they'd wear it.
LOL ruru that is great
my mom died.. 27 years ago.. and my brother still can's say "mom" or her name. Will only say "she" or "that woman"
I understand entirely!!!!
Last time I went to my parents, it was for help (dau to mom/dad) regarding siblings; they're response was, 'we're too old to get involved' and 'you may not get over, but you need to get on with your life'...
so much for family
understand what hoot?
I have learned that I cannot change them so I do not let it bother me anymore - life is easier when you let it go
what happened. They only hear the voices in their heads
that's where I've been too saphyre
ok... gonna look for the last 9...
down to 2...
You get tired of never hearing from anyone until there is an occasion where you need to buy a gift.
still havent found those 2 n's
exactly, hoot...I just ignore those now
I mean if they can 'ignore' me; I sure don't have a problem 'ignoring' them!
I send gifts to those I want to send them to, not to those I am obliged to send them to
Or when my mother was staying in Az w/my youngest sister, and she would come to NY in the summer. I would get a phone call from the middle sister telling me she was there and to get over there to see her!
I go to 'gatherings' just to see all my nieces and nephews...could care less about the adults.
wow - what an evil board - 3 1/2 vowels!
that half vowel is useful
I can't find the no 5/6
me either
My mother and brother are in NY and I am now in MD -my sister is in GA - so atleast when i go up to NY i dont have to see her
it didn't matter if I had other plans or obligations...just get my ass over there!
use the 3 pointer for the no
my mother died a couple of years ago. My cousin called me totell me to go to AZ. I am on SS of $1018 per month and I told her I couldn't afford it and wouldn't be able to pay her back if she paid.
thanks hoot
ok.. got it.
or them
ends like the fake leather....
2 weeks later I get a call from her saying...and I quote" Uncle Joe died and you weren't here." And she hung up on me.
So now I am supposed to be a mind reader or something! BULL!
fireworks - thanks m9
yw
she sounds small minded hoot
7 to go
Congrats all - I have to get out of here before I explode and make all your lives miserable too. Have a great weekend.
nite hoot
They alllll are!
night hoot..take it easy
* sparkeflies *
wtg pini!
life is too short to let them get to me - so much easier to just walk away and not look back
congrats
I have a beautiful little granddaughter and I rather spend my energy enjoying her
thx ... good luck all ... off to find pillows ... cya l8r g8rs !
time for bed here too
have a good nite- weekend - everyone :)
(same here...the kids and grandkids are worth more of my time!)

what kind of a word is that bl6 anyway. sheesh
oh. a fish. of course

Hello -- how's this for a late arrival!
I had a lot of fun tonight -- looking back at the chog it seems nobody else did! Sorry!
It also seems nobody is here.
nbt
wtg me
I'm here, jilli...
hi doug -- how're you doing?
I'm doing well...My #2 son graduated from Minnetonka High School this week
congrats to him! Going on to college?
He is going to Concordia College in Moorhead MN
Any special interests?
I should be happy, but I'm hysterical about the amount of debt he is going to have
over halfway
He scored the highest possible score on the International Baccalaureate oral Chinese exam. I think he is the Chinese geek of the High School
I know -- kids these days are saddled with such student loans to start life with. It seems all wrong.
He is quite possibly one of the most fluent Chinese speakers out of the mass of 18 yo Americans
Wow! And waht a useful language to know nowadays. Smart move.
But who knows, maybe it will all turn out wonderfully
I have 8 words left, perhaps I can help?
I'm ashamed that I was born in China and lived ther until I was 12 but never learned the language except for a few words. My Scottish dad was fluent and my Brit mother knew a lot -- Scottish grandfather translated the Bible into Chinese, but me? Nada.
I recently read an article saying Chinese people are developing "character amnesia"
Smartphones are to blame
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-2001 4834-71.html
I've heard that Chinese Christians are exceedingly good at memorizing large chunks of the Chinese Bible
I have my dad's box with one-inch high drawers, each with one-ince dividers, each holding one-inch squares of cardboard bearing a Chinese character on one side and its different meanings on the other side. He studied these in the rickshaw taking him to work for the Chinese Postal Bank in order to qualify for their civil service exam. An extra 8 points were awarded for writing the exam in Chinese so he got 108%.
This was all Mandarin, of course, and in the early 1920s.
For the longest time, China reported that there were about 25M in the TSPM churches. They recently upped that to about 70M
Your grandfather's efforts have borne great fruit
I can sing the chorus to "Jesus Loves Me" in Chinese, lol! Can never remember more than that :-(
My grandfather was not the only one who did that translation. I read that Pearl Buck's father also translated the Bible and scorned other people's efforts at doing so.
But he was American and my grandparents were Brits.
The French have a proverb "To translate is to betray."
(Scots, but educated at the London Missionary Society)
Did Pearl Buck's father think others wouldn't do as good a job at translating?
What an odd sentiment from the French!
I think it just shows what a tricky business translating is. Sometimes there just isn't a word in the target language for a word in the source language
That was the impression I got from her book "Fighting Angel".
hewoo
I can understand what they mean - translating poetry, for instance, might convey the meaning but it can't reproduce the rhyme, rhythmn or the sound of the words in the original language.
Well, of course the Bible we know in English is translations from translations from translations...
hewoo to yoo too cos
Hello haz, I saw a French translation of The Jabberwock once
Hello Haz
And then there's Winni Ille Pu
That must have been interesting but slightly weird to be translating non-existent words into non-existent words.
And good morning/evening all.
I think I saw that Jabberwocky en francais too
I just read the Amazon description of Fighting Angel, which seems to go along with what you said
Here you go:
Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave, Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux, Et le mômerade horsgrave. Garde-toi du Jaseroque, mon fils! La gueule qui mord; la griffe qui prend! Garde-toi de l’oiseau Jube, évite Le frumieux Band-à -prend. Son glaive vorpal en mail il va- T-à la recherche du fauve manscant; Puis arriveé à l’arbre Té-Té, Il y reste, réfléchissant. Pendant qu’il pense, tout uffusé Le Jaseroque, à l’oeil flambant, Vient siblant par le bois tullegeais, Et burbule en venant. Un deux, un deux, par le milieu, Le glaive vorpal fait pat-à -pan! La bête défaite, avec sa tête, Il rentre gallomphant. As-tu tué le Jaseroque? Viens à mon coeur, fils rayonnais! O jour frabbejeais! Calleau! Callai! Il cortule dans sa joie. Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave, Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux, Et le mômerade horsgrave.
Good old Google!
Good morning to you...good night to me...
i dont like this grid
Good night Doug!
Bye, Douglas.
Did the French Jabberwocky scare everyone away?
Hmmm -- I guess so :-(
it terrified me like poor alice
la pauvre petite fille, tsk tsk.
Hello Jillibus: brilliant Jabberwock. gallomphant will definitely be added to the vocabulary here. TY
Hah! Glad you enjoyed it, scoser!
i still need 3 for nbt ugh
and i have no 6 or 7
*scouser
I have 1 6, no 7
finally found an A word and it was a fish
Winni ille Pu is required reading round here too, since that is hobby No.2.
My 6 is fo 6/27, a pl of the fo 5/16
and while were onto Latin, the fo5 is a ditch.
The 7 word is apposite for this time of year in England.
Yes and the plural of that ditch seems to be missing from Lickety's long wordlist, it only has the Latin plural.
ugh i cant find it lol
funny -- it's an English pl here.
must be an unusual word
the English plural is in the list ending in -es; this one is -as.
I see what you mean, I think.
PS I think we have actually got a grid without babblets.
what does the 7 start with
7 starts with b and is very pretty
thanks
ty scouser!
I am off to the garden to dead-head some b7s now. Byee
but I have found some babblets -- depending on what you call babblets.
and now I have nbs too.
To me a babblet is a word that has no entry in the Enable dictionary.
oh duh a fisj
thanks!
What is nbs?
im missing a 6 for nbs and i oneed the O and S in middle column for nbt
what is nbt?
no blank stats -- i.e. at least one word from each of the Word Stats boxes
no blank tiles
and no blank stats
the o is bony and the s happens at sea a lot
i assume anyway
Apparently no blank stats, meaning you've got one of every word length, no blank tiles meaning you've got one from every available word tile.
nbt is No Blank Tiles -- at least one word from each of the Tile Stats boxes where words are available.
or possibly that s is a geology term about hillsides - once they are in the grid you can't tell which is which
whats the 2nd letter for that O?
s, cos
thanks
is it a 4 5 6?
OK ta for explanations. If Lickety is up I do the 4s first and then can see what needs to go between, so often I don't look at the stats counts.
found it!
now for that S in midle column...
sn 4/6, cos
No I was wrong below - it is the geology word. take off the first s and you have one of the t4s with a duplicate letter in it.
ty! NBT
wtg cos
11 left and I'm heading for bed -- they'll have to wait for the morrow. Farewell, all.....*poof
byee all
Bye, jillibus, scouser.
nbs now.. monkeyed the bl6
now i can go.. nite all
hi everyone clue 4 the bl7 please
bl7 - what precedes fruit on an apple or cherry tree.
ty haz i can always rely on you
You're welcome.
sometimes words can be looking straight at you and you still cant see them
I know - it's funny how things can hide themselves from you.
is the bl6 to do with the same 7
i cant find any 6s
No, it's b plus a kind of slang version of a man's name - think Bernstein.
Or Mr Nimoy.
just found 2 f6s
still dont get it
Don't get what - the bl6? B plus Mr Henry the comedian.
ty would never have got that without that clue
Or bl plus the last letters of the least valuable coin we use.
ive got the 2f6s and the bl6 what am i missing
no6 and so6.
r
I'm off to get the day kicked into shape. Enjoy the grid!
*gone*
bye haz
good morning
so small for a Saturday!
good morning ruby
been a while :)
how are you?
hello all and fireworks for the apprentice
morning, all! just popped in to change my icon and marvel at the smallness of the grid on a Saturday...
good morning everyone;) howdy sue
hi, crossy - I am headed back to bed for a bit - CT scan later this morning to check the healing of my neck a year after surgery...
have a good sleep sue
58 words? what kind of Saturday grid is this?
morning red
good morning everyone :)
Hi Cross, are you makign Bacon? I would ike some!
howdy mama
lol,not yet but soon
a rough one! only 4 1/2 vowels! YUCK!!
2 to go and I'm stumped! UGH
I am just at half way, so have not hit the frustration point yet. and I believe I may go back to bed as well.
morning, cute baby grid. does it bite?
well for you early birds,here is crossy,s tidbit of the day!....
fireworks!! Not bad for most of the puzzle. Just a handful of words that are really mindbenders!
When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German.
congrats mamabook
it does indeed bite..actually i think it is teething
i remember hearing that before crossy.
congrats Mama!
but I'm also a newby so my opinion may be a bit skewed
still working through your facebook invite list crossy? i bet you were pounced on!
not that new mama 5 years lol
lol feathers,i think i am caught up now
not quite! you didn't get me!
mmm send it again feathers
can't, i don't think. when i look at your profile, it says "friend request sent" and there's no option to resend
Yeah, but have been out of the loop for about a year. Just started back with summer vacation. but fireworks twice this week will probably keep me around for a while
morning babblers!
you will have to let me muddle through feathers..i will figure it out
Left my fireworks going all day last time! It's a real ego boost! :)
k, no prob! i'm heather mac on there, with a pic of my two goofy boys on my profile
lol mama
lol mama...me, too!
i'm friends with lynda, if you can't search for me (i'm hidden), you'll see me on her list
sigh, i should scoot. the kitchen awaits.
crossy, mine says friend request sent, too:(
good thing about kitchens, they tend to wait as long as you let them
lol mama
sorry robbie,i am new at fb,so you will have to be patient with me
unfortunately, robbie, kiddos aren't as patient, especially when it comes to breakfast!
no problem crossy:)
Off to start the day (and get breakfast). Hope it's a great one for all of you.
(poof)
tc mama
Well, my kiddos are all grown up now...just my furry kids now
we just had one of our furry kids into the vet yesterday:(
oh dear! sorry to hear that crossy
all better now,it had a cyst that had been developing for 2 months,we were keepong an eye on it and was on the verge of getting it looked at when it literally exploded yesterday morning at 8 am
was on the tail bout 4 inches from tip and size of golf ball
yikes!hope all is well!
all is well now....775 dollars later:/
lol...glad it is OK
we should of got it looked at sooner,but came on so fast,a simple blocked pore or sweat gland can cause this it seems
wow! glad that's all it was. cysts can be scary
well, I better get going! I'll be back at lunch time:)
*poof*
half way now,all on what should of been easy 4 letter words...lets see how the other half shapes up;/
Complaint- same letters as yesterday, and complaint #2- too short ffor a Saturday. He should shake up the tiles more.
howdy kaplan
Is this as bad as it looks at first glance?
Yep.
Hi guys
Bad, Bad , Bad.
Icky
gr5.
you're kidding
There's a gr5?
funny bit of news here.our canada post a govt owned corporation but unionized,it now on strike.funny thing is even though they are doing roatating walkouts(only so everyone still gets paid),not many people are noticing..with skype,e-mail and fed-ex or ups for large package delivery i have not used canada postal service in 2 years mydelf...lol what if you went on strike and no one cared??? lol
howdy hego
yes there is. It's not that hard- you will find it.
Hi Crossy
What if Dr god went on strike?
he is more important that canada post to me atm
Didn't Lickety get hurt or something?
symptoms of withdrawal- sweats, pallor, racing heart...
Poor Kap
I am fine- we are here.
Wahhh!!!!!! I haven't got one word yet!
lol,those effect sound like me when i comb my hair or tie my shoes:/
I have 16 left and can' find anymore words!
Whew, I got one. :-)
Use the double ss's, hego.
Comb your hair, Crossy?
ty Kap
Actually gr5 describes this grid perfectly.
Yeah, I was sayin'.
Right
there are s words in the middle?????????????
what boggle me is it says there is a 7 letter word in this mess
st words kap
Crossy, I can't imagine
Yeah, I got one of them.
ther's an sn in the middle. The st uses the s on the left
I just found that out. ty

A 5 what?
good morning everyone, to start or not to start this grid, that is the question

If I were you, I'd bag it and clean the house instead.
:-) the house is clean. But have a program at the library at 10
((Kap and Hego))

I know, I know
I know, surprised myself
I could die of envy.
believe me, Kap it is over rated
I am leaving to dtry to make some progress.
take care, Kap
No it isn't. I would sell my soul to Sarah Palin for a clean house.
I have to go too. BBL
OK, maybe that's a little extreme.

hi, stid!
how are things in your neck of the wood today sue?
Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
ok, stid; kind of a dull overcast day and I am not feeling very energetic. but my son seems to be doing ok and that is good.
overcast here too -- Tom spent the morning working in the yard (SO much to do!) and I spent the morning running errands in town (stidkid#1's prom tonight).
glad your bonny boy is doing okay, too.
hope kid#1 has a great time!!!
I think he will, going with his best friend from 1st grade (now girlfriend)
O clue please
o + double cons + vowel
science: skeletal word (I think)
hice, stid!
*grin*
and by the way, nonny IS SO A WORD!!! hey nonny nonny and all that.
hey nonny no!
Ty it is 98 in the shade. Cant see the words! at a festival
I need two more n words
festival sounds nice
Tom is mowing the lawn again...
well, it was 98 here a few days ago but is in the 60s now.
From the top n
Festival is slow..not many folks
no5/14, no6/24 (chemical and plural)
no 4/4:what some call their grandmother sciencegeek
and no4/4 (meaning nothing)
too bad. everything here is slow, too. slow to start, slow to move. Even our local fruit stand isn't open yet.
Ty
no 5/14 is negative prefix plus sometimes vowel plus a consonant and no 6/24 word is plural of no 5/14 word.
Got the ns. Need one more s, m, b
aha! thanks Min!
down to 12
One is the 7
bl7/40, flower
Don't know that one
ah, pretty! that brings me to ten sue!

Hello Mom!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
((uusue)) you're welcome and hello
((Min)) good afternoon, I am just fine. How are you?
Min, are you always so cheerful and perky?
I am well. Not so cheery & perky with allergies though
okay, taking a break with 9 remaining. back later to finish! **hugs and choclits for all** **and rootbeer to go with the chips and sandwiches** *poof*
love rootbeer, thanks Stid. See you later
Here is a story of clues fr 4/8 Minveryork.I am amazed at the really mo5/12 speed some babblers are able to get their FWs sa4/4 the list. If I were to babble alo4/4 I'd never finish any of the puzzles. Thank goodness for the chog. I would be lo4/4 without the expert cluers in the chog.Mo4/5 of the words I find are because of expert babblers who give great clues. If no 4/4 of you existed, I would never finish. It ro4/4 when I come to Babbleland and the chog is empty. Hubby is about to to4/4 me off the computer. Now I'm going to go make so4/4 franchais for dinner.Then I'm going to go watch the movie "Gr5/14 Anatomy" with my two so4/4 on my so4/7 couch.I hope the we don't lose power because of the thunder st 5/12. I will be back later on tonight.
oh Min, allergies are awful
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you later on in the chog.
*hands mom a kleenex*
Thanks, Ruru and hello. Do I have bbq on my face?
Min, thanks for the story. I got several from there
Hi rururocks! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
yw Mom
aftanoon alls
Hi Jes
it's sunny and bright here, and thunder is rumbling from nowhere.
hi, ruru and jes!
hi all
Sunny, bright and hot here. Suppose to cool off tonight
nice here too.. on my way to SF... to walk the beaches
sounds delightful, ruru
that's a very ... smiley... goat you've got, ru
sorry, all, but I feel pretty much like sh4/4 and am going to go lie down for a while - bbl -
oh uusue, so sorry to hear that. Feel better soon. ((hugs))
bye, uusue, feel better.
oh.. any luck with the restraining order?
Hi everybody :-) Sue - sorry your not feeling too good.
i need to go slip my dog some valium, as the thunder is upseting her. back in a couple seconds.
(((Soodle))) hello
(((((Mom)))). Long time no 'see'. How are you?
*holds out dog dish for jes*
ruru, I can't get one b/c I have no relationship to son's gf. Best I could do is call police, file a report, and ask that she be banned from my house; then if she returns it would be trespassing and I could have her arrested.
Just dandy, Soodle! HOw are you?
that's a start uu.. good going
but I haven't done that yet (son doesn't want to involve police) and probably won't. However if she ever shows up here again that is what I will do.
oh uusue, that sounds terrible
maybe some new locks on the door will help UU
Hello jessdraggon! How are you? Welcome to the grid.
Also dandy, Mom :-). Sue, that sounds like a horrible problem. (((())))
Hello Soodlebum! How are you doing? Welcome to grid
no dog dish; she's too nervous to eat. Just gotta shove 'em down. 2 valium and 1 ambien, down the hatch. :)
I am very well, thank you Min. I hope those allergies aren't causing you too much grief.
we are keeping the house locked (although son keeps forgetting his keys and removing windows to get in); I don't plan to have son's door replaced, figure it is his problem (it was locked but she shattered the frame to get in)
I am pretty sure, uusue, that you don't have to get a prior police contact for trespassing. All that's required is that you ask the person to leave your property. If they don't immediately do so, they're trespassing.
no jess.. just for me..:D
Hi All. Sue, I'm sorry psycho girlfriend from hell is still causing you grief.
Yes, I will do that if she ever shows her face here again, jes.
That said, I'd recommend contacting them anyway, and keeping records (date, time, duration, details) of every incident.
just for you, ru? the valium? or the dog dish?
<--------- Had valium once. At the dentists. (I bit him, drew blood, and he refused to treat me again unless I was sedated!). I LOVED the whole valium experience. I can see how people could get addicted.
good idea, jes, I will get that started. Hopefully there will be no more additions to the list (she did smash his glasses a couple of weeks ago)
Hi all. Quick babble before going to dinner with niece.
Hello MollyL! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
<---- never had valium
Hello LuwandaHL! How are you? Welcome to the chog.
Valium sounds like a good idea right about now :-P
hello LuwandaHL, there is no such thing as a quick babble with this one, it is a stinker
Sue, that sounds like a nightmare situation. Is she likely to return to your house?
For anybody that cares, I am writing up and posting stories and pictures from my recent Alaska vacation. I'm about half way through. Go to http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/ta g/alaska and start at the bottom.
I keep popping in and out. It is definitely a stinker. I haven't gone to the list yet
the list will definitely help
It's a small grid, so I will have plenty of time to look at that jessdraggon. Thank you so much for sharing w/us
sounds neat Jes
I loved alaska!
LuwandaHL,just posted a story of clues if need to use
I loved alaska too, luwanda, but am not a big fan of alaska airlines...
i swear, if i ever go back i'm taking the ferry.
I listed after 30 words,then got down to 4 words with a list LuwandaHL. I am saving my last word for later on.
<---- Thinks certain people who are way too hyper and drama queen-ish would be better off with daily doses of Valium.
Jes, I just bookmarked your page. I'm going to read it tonight in bed...... My uncle was a priest in Alaska in the '60s and '70's, and it seemed to us back then to be about as exotic as the Moon.
<---- Molly, not nice to talk about me like that
:-), hello
LOL Mom, I thought Moll was talking about me!!!
Molly, not nice to talk about Soodle like that
Oh Mom, not you. If everyone was like you, the world would be a much happier place. You too Madame Soodle.
Soodle, I hope not but they have a history that goes back several years, punctuated by this sort of thing (although this is the first time she's done property damage to my house), and she lives about half a block away.
ah shucks, thanks Molly. You are far to kind
((((Thank you Madame Moll)))). Sue, does you son still have feelings for this girl?
Sounds like a good, healthy relationship, uusue
I think he does, soodle; they broke up earlier this spring and he got a new gf but then went back to this one ("I know the bad parts are pretty bad, mom, but the good parts are really good!")
if he starts seeing her again I am forcibly dragging him to therapy; this is an extraordinarily unhealthy relationship.
Jeepers, I just read what I typed.....Does he still 'have feelings for this girl'... I sound like my mother!!!!
lol, soodle, it's scary when we start sounding like our parents, isn't it?
How old is your son, Sue?
<---- Would like to have a talk with Sue's son about setting healthy boundaries. Believe me, I have walked the road he's walking.
he's 21, soodle; they've been going out for 3 or 4 years now (at least 4 now that I think about it)
hey, molly, any time you want to come over and talk to him you are more than welcome. I think he needs to hear it from someone other than me.
would he listen to Frank, Uusue?
That's why a therapist of some sort is probably a very good idea. They can't hear it from those close to them, but they might from someone objective.
and I've been there too, molly, with his dad no less, aargh.
((Molly and Uusue))
Hmm. I have a son who will be 21 soon. To talk to him is like talking to the wall. He knows it all. I am an old fogie who knows nothing. Its a difficult place to be, Sue, I totally understand.
he does a little, mom, but Frank is also part of the "parental units" to him so not as effective as an outside observer.
thx, soodle; he really is a great kid in many ways but this is just driving me insane.
Use to have a refrigerator magnet when my boys were younger ... Now I know why animals eat their young.
I see, uusue, about Frank I mean
they are all great kids, you love them dearly, just don't love what they do
lol, mom! I understand the feeling! (although I would also cheerfully dismember anyone who threatened him, of course - he is still my baby after all!)
LOL Mom, I'm going to look for one of those for my refridgerator!
exactly
anyway I still feel pretty crappy (headache) and am going to go lie down for a while. see you all later - and thanks for all the understanding - it really does help!!!
I think it's hard to see anyone you love participate in self-destructive behavior
I don't have it any longer or I would send it to you. I have replaced it with: Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure keeps the kids around
But I can empathise with your frustration Sue. To see a loved on heading on a collision course and not heeding the warnings is very upsetting.
take care ((Uusue))
evening all! new baby2bit photo in my profile - last week's church outfit
good evening Dan
Mom - I want to go shopping in your Fridge-magnet shop!!!!

I cried buckets of happy tears at my son's wedding and thanked God several times for waterproof mascara.
thank you Robbie
when was the wedding?
<--------Expecting a pic of Mom, with her eyes rolling around in her head............
I tried very hard not to cry at mt sons wedding...but I got teary eyed at the mother son dance!
it was last Saturday, Robbie
If there was a dance, I would have cried also
Congratulations, Mom!
thanks
okay, fireworks ... now will change my icon

Congrats Mom!
My son took his camera on his honeymoon...e used his camera...lol

Wow! 2 Babbler-Mother-of the Groom last Saturday. We should have had a special icon theme for that day!

The final one off your hands - Congrats Robbie

thanks mom
Lovely lovely colour for you Mom - you look very serene
beautiful dress mom! so bright and cheery! i love it!

Oh, rats, Mom. I can see you in yellow in the chat log, but when I go into your profile, I still see the Bride and Groom. Still refreshing frantically........
thank you, Robbie
Mom! What a beautiful yellow outfit! Soodle, you have to close out of your browser and re-open to see it properly.
take your time Soodle
thank you Molly
Oh wow, the Queen's hat would have been a perfect match for that.
well, my son and his new wife get back from their honeymoon next friday...I'll have pictures then..lol
oh good, can't wait to see them
Ours gets back Monday afternoon. I get to pick them up at the airport. **Happy dance**
Going to do some tidying up while I wait for this frost to lift, thickest one so far this Winter...Bye everyone
Where did they go Mom?
I know, Molly, I know.
so good to see you again, Lynxxx. take care
I should have had him leave the memory card to his camera..and put in a new one..oh,well!
they went to north of Cancun
bye lynxxx
Sounds great, mom

Mom - you are gorgeous! You look sensational.
Soodle, you are blind
Lynn- I missed you coming in... Hi and bye
thank you so much, Soodle, you are so sweet
My couple went to Aruba!...sounds like they both went to great warm places!
Be nice to yourself Mom. : D
I am working on it, Molly. I tend to have self depricating (sp) humor
I think so too Robbie, although it was hot enough here
but we don't have a sandy beach or someone to wait on them
Indeed I am am not! Mom, you are fantastic!
Indeed I am am not! Mom, you are fantastic!
**blushes** thanks
Soodle said twice, twice.
she thinks I am doubly fantastic
Yes, Soodle definitely can see how wonderful you look!
Oh, Yes mom!
thanks Robbie
I said a prayer..please God no rain for the wedding or reception....well, He took me literally...it stopped raining at exactly 2 PM..the start of the wedding..lol
My eldest is 20, and my youngest is 16, with a 19 yr old in between, so I guess its a safe bet that they will all get married within 5/6 years of each other. I will be a snivelling mess.........
lots of weddings to look forward to Soodle!
we must have had a hot line to heaven last week. It didn't rain until 10:30 pm
Yeah, Mom!
you will indeed be a wreck, Soodle
After the ceremony we had the reception line outside the church...the sun came out!
We had outdoor pictures, and carriage rides! it was great!
You'll be Ok Soodle!
This was my baby who just got married...now we are really empty nesters!
*sends robbie a bird for the nest*
Thanks Robbie :-). I guess like all parents, all I really want is for them to be happy.
thanks jesdraggon!
How true Soodle!
At least the couple will live only 20 minutes away from here!
about the same here Robbie
Yeah!
That was my last wedding, my daughter got married almost three years ago!
Ah,thats lovely! About a gazillion years ago, when I (finally) moved out of home (at the tender age of 23), my mother cried her eyes out. I was back about 15 minutes later, because I had forgotten my make-up!!!
lol Soodle!
I lived at home until the day I married at age 25

Hi stidmama, just back after taking Murphy for a short walk.
hello Mother! ***hugs and hugs***
Hello stidgmere!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
we have had a good day, though as often happens not quite as I envisioned -- I have been into town three times already... LOL
Hi minvery and all.
Stidkid#1 has loaded the three chairs out of the office and into my van -- I will enlist the other one's help to get them into the storage locker
btw, down to FIVE!
(four)
Hello...
JELLEN!!! *faint*
*grabs smelling salts*
t w o...
LOL thanks Jellen -- how are you? weird weather your part of the country has been having. Do you have one of those safe rooms in case of twisters? ark? hot air balloon? ruby slippers???
Ruby slippers, check!
freeweeds!!!!
I have a basement...fairly safe down there...
*grins at jellen*
Yay for stid!
Congrats Stidmama!!! Good to get your teeth into the grid again?
I wasn't sure I would finish, the small grids usually throw me for a loop!
oh, you have NO idea, Mother! LOL Today the guys' barber said I look younger -- stidkid said it's because I am not stressed out so much anymore
Congratulations stidmama on your fireworks! Good for U
Hooray for less stress!
yep. less stress is bes'
Stidkid is right, you are already less stressed.
Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
btw Mother, my dear friend I was worried about is much better today, fewer attacks in the last 24 hours and meds should start working full-force soon.
Hi, Min...good to see you!
Glad to hear our friend is getting the situation undercontrol.
Well, I just popped is to see how everyone was and check out the grid...Need to get ready for dinner with a friend...
me too.
(((Jellen))) Miss you -- see you around WAY more often I hope!
I will try...I've recently become hooked on lexulous live...have you played it?
no, I don't play those games any more -- might see what it's like once I have the living room under control!
I like the live version on the lexulous site because it's timed...you get a whole game in at one sitting...
that's nice -- the multi(week)day games sometimes got lost in the shuffle
Ooh, just got a message from my nephew...will respond to that, then it's off to dinner!
Exactly!
(((hugs))) to all!
*poof*
enjoy! see you soon! ((hugs))
Finished the grid. First time in many days.
YAY Mother!!!
Okay, I am going to head out again, want to get these things to the storage locker before supper time. Stidkid #2 has a party to attend this evening -- in addition to prom for stidkid#1. So glad I have tomorrow to recuperate!
talk to you tomorrow. *choclits and hugs for all* *poof*
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chog

VERY slow! ANd thanks for responding too
When that happens to me, I always try to blame it on the weather!
Heyas kids ..
Evenin' Torgone.
