they've been working well tonight, jilli

good think I don't care about rankings -- mine must be sinking fast because there have been so many huge grids lately, when I haven't had time for them.

12:45 am

*thing

12:46 am

well, after taking that break for a few days, I don't feel that I must finish - was a good thing

12:46 am

good, flsoey -- makes it more relaxing, eh?

12:46 am

but I do find it handy to hop in and out when I have to get off my feet

12:47 am

sure

12:47 am

yes jilli, much more enjoyable too

12:49 am

pitter not accepted! must have to go with patter

12:50 am

**must have to be accompanied with patter

I thot pitter was a word, too

12:50 am

so enable thinks anyway, I guess

the soft pitter patter of the rain

cherry pitters see lehmans dot com!

this is not an easy one for nbt, imo

12:55 am

again, I'm sleepy although I didn't get up until a quarter to twelve noon today! Maybe it's the antibiotics...

is your leg still bleeding jili?

12:57 am

I don't think so, dee -- the bandage is still on.

good; antibiotics always make me tired, too

12:58 am

1:48 am

Still 48 to go here :-(

1:48 am

ty

1:50 am

can I help?

1:51 am

I didn't even get my icon changed

1:52 am

so, tomorrow's is midsummer - as in midsummer madness? June is not exactly mid....

1:57 am

so, no clues needed, I'll be off to bed, goodnight all

1:58 am

she said to herself!

1:58 am

good morning all

1:59 am

lol... good night flosey! Yeah, midsummer already? Dec 21 is midwinter, Jun 21 is midsummer. Strange, isn't it!

2:04 am

ah, thanks sprite - was just off reading about it

2:04 am

I checked it too, lol.

2:05 am

some places have bonfires celebrating the midsummer solstice - think they'd be banned here, we have strict fire regulations during hot weather

2:05 am

no burning, open fire pits, etc

2:05 am

I cannot blame them, those enormous fires in your country are awful.

2:06 am

they sure are, and we're surrounded with very large trees

2:07 am

love your icon, btw sprite

2:08 am

i love a bonfire, to be honest, but I'd gladly forego them if it helped keeping the big fires in check. All that wonderful nature in your country, it is such a waste. And dangerous for people as well (the fires)

2:08 am

thanks flosey :)

2:08 am

oh, hello sprite! I took a break for a bit...

2:08 am

hi jilli!

2:08 am

oh yes, a fire on one of the islands would be dreadfully disastrous

2:08 am

hey all

2:09 am

Aw what a pretty dog, jilli

2:09 am

hi saddy!

2:09 am

hi Saddy :)

2:09 am

hi saddy

2:09 am

wont be here long, my mom and sister are flying in tomorrow and i have to get the house in order...

2:09 am

how exciting saddy

2:09 am

LOLLLL poor Saddy... and make them believe you always have it so perfect... so when you go to them, they will feel obliged to do the same...

2:10 am

and if it doesn't all get done, they'll just turn a blind eye

2:10 am

sprite has a good point...

2:12 am

unless they're like my late mother, flosey, who said I lived in a pigsty when I clean diapers in the living room so I wouldn't have to go upstairs every time my baby needed a change.

2:12 am

*had clean diapers...

2:12 am

oh dear, now that's a bit much!

2:13 am

with a baby, there's always a need to have things handy

2:13 am

she was a real neatnik and very critical in those days -- mellowed later.

2:14 am

when she had a baby she had amahs and others to help out. I didn't.

2:14 am

oh I heard a story once about that, so true to li4! About a woman who gets her sister to stay for a while, and cleans the whole house. Then sister comes and they have a good time, until Mother calls and says she comes over tomorrow to visit them. The woman tells her sister: "You must help, we must clean the house!" Sister says: "Darling, you did that just before I came, it is still clean!" Then the woman tells her sister: "For you, it had to be sister-clean! Now it must be mother-clean!" And the sister nods and grabs a mop.

2:15 am

how nice it would be to have household help, so you could concentrate on baby as needed

2:15 am

good one, sprite!

2:15 am

aw jilli :( Glad she mellowed out a bit. Tough to have someone that judgmental around when you battle to get it all done.

2:15 am

great story sprite

2:16 am

isn't it :)

2:16 am

I think my mum had help and had a good time at tea parties and such, not needing a sitter

2:17 am

but think of all she missed, jilli. I'd have loved help, but not to go away from my babies. Just to stay sane, grin.

2:18 am

Yes, I really did keep things tidy otherwise -- even the diapers (cloth ones in those days) were neatly folded and piled.

2:18 am

Saddy, are you looking forward to having them with you?

2:18 am

I agree there, sprite, just come and clean, tidy my house, I'll do the rest

2:18 am

you did great, jilli. Nothing wrong with being efficient and washing the diapers downstairs.

2:19 am

exactly, flosey :) Anyway, even if I only cleaned my house once a month it would still be cleaner than my mother's, so I don't bother.

2:19 am

errrr don't bother to clean when she comes, I mean. I do bother to clean.

2:20 am

of course, we had 4 in 6 years (planned) so not a lot of time for being super neat

2:21 am

wowsy, flosey! That is pretty intensive! I had 2 in less than 3 years and I already almost drowned.

2:22 am

at that time, 31 was considered old to be starting a family

2:22 am

it still is, flosey, biologically. Our bodies are made for younger pregnancies. But our lives aren't anymore.

2:23 am

both daughter and d-i-l were older than I and and both children are guest great

2:23 am

oh, I had to wash the diapers in the basement with a washboard -- no machine then.

2:24 am

that is hard work and time consuming as well, jilli

2:24 am

jeez jilli, something we cannot imagine anymore these days. Must have taken a lot of time and energy. I did have a soaking bucket for the diapers, but I was lucky enough we could wash them in the machine.

2:25 am

hung them out to dry and then a train would pass by in the nearby ravine and spew soot on them

2:25 am

so I had to wash them again -- three rinses was the order of the day too.

2:25 am

dear poppa came to my rescue, bought a washer for Gordon (so we wouldn't feel embarrassed)

2:25 am

argh! That would make me fit to eat metal and spit nails.

2:26 am

aw that is so sweet, flosey

2:26 am

LOL! Thank goodness that's all over iwth now!

2:26 am

yes, and in the winter they froze like boards

2:27 am

I second that, jilli! I have loved my children from day one, but I like them better the older they get.

2:27 am

Mum finally did come across too and bought us a washing machine -- a front-loading Westinghouse. Front-loaders are all the rage now again!

2:27 am

yes, my new one is front loader, I love it

2:28 am

and they spin to almost dry

2:28 am

yes, we have a frontloader as well. I kind of miss my top loader though. It was a combination, a washing machine and a seperate ... centrifuge? Swirler? Don't know the english word. It took a bit more work but the wash came out drier and the mechanism was much stronger.

2:30 am

The one I left behind when I moved was a good one -- a GE top-loader, with an extra "mini-basket" for small loads -- economical.

2:30 am

It was too old to move, they told me. The one I have ow is a top-loader, 15 years old.

2:32 am

I had to buy stackables, laundry room is small

2:33 am

yes, that is a big advantage of the frontloaders. I have a very old drier on top of mine too. I try to use it as little as possible, but it is great to have one.

2:35 am

hey, our Trif is in the grid today. not valid, though.

2:37 am

I must get off to bed, great chatting, be back late tomorrow night, after bridge

2:37 am

I'm fading. Going to get ready for bed so I can go there at 1 am when I take my pill.

2:37 am

bye flosey, sleep well, enjoyed your company.

2:37 am

good night all

2:37 am

night jilli, you sleep well too, fun chat :)

2:37 am

I'll be back here briefly in my nightie.

2:38 am

not company, sprite, it's the club that jilli also belongs to

2:38 am

Gnight flosey -- see you tomorrow

2:38 am

ok, great!

2:38 am

yes, g'night

2:38 am

lol flosey, I meant I have enjoyed your company

2:39 am

oh, sorry, wondered if you knew, son, grandson and daughter-i-l coming July 1st for 2 weeks

2:39 am

and ty sprite, likewise

2:39 am

hahaha I didn't know, but now I do. How lovely!

2:40 am

grandson is looking forward to meeting his cousin in dad's side of family - he has many on mother's side of family

2:42 am

family is important. I almost have none and I always said friends are the family one chooses (and that is true), but now that my sister is back in my life, I also feel the difference. Family does matter!

2:42 am

it does indeed sprite, and of course very grateful for friends too

2:43 am

yes, my gratitude for them hasn't diminished at all, I just realised that family is something else. Very special. :) Ok, off to bed with you!

2:44 am

byebye

2:44 am

*waves to flosey*

3:02 am

and I'm back. I'm an only child but had 21 first cousins, most of whom are now dead and none live close by. Two are in the East, one is in England, and the rest are in the USA.

3:02 am

wow, that is one BIG family!

3:02 am

Oh, sorry -- more than one in England but I never knew them.

3:03 am

I really didn't know many of them -- they were scattered all over.

3:04 am

ah that is a shame. My family is actually pretty big too, but it is like loose sand. Dry sand.

3:05 am

And of course I lived in different places. My favourite cousin was in England but he died years ago. Then I was fairly close to two in NY when we lived there but tey're gone now too.

3:06 am

must be a downside to getting 'really' old, jilli, to lose so many people.

3:07 am

Well, we make new friends, and good ones, too.

3:07 am

:) That, you do!

3:09 am

Now there's my late hubby's family -- bro-in-law and his wife are in Victoria, not too far. And my grown-up son and grandkids. And my best friend from NY high school days, who lives in New Jersey but we are in touch daily via emails.

I have been reading the chog about families. I think I must be pretty unique in the fact that my husband has 4 brothers who live within walking distance of us, plus all their families and grandchildren's families!!

3:09 am

internet is great, for staying in touch!

3:10 am

Wow Jenny -- how great!

3:10 am

hi Jivingjenny, yes indeed! How wonderful!

3:11 am

But now I must head for bed -- full day tomorrow. 25 left. Nice chat -- have a good day.....*poof

3:12 am

sleep well, jilli, and dream even better. *hug*

yes, it is - when my husband was in hospital (before my kids were old enough to drive) I never once had to ask for a lift in the 6 weeks he was there, I don't drive and the hospital is an hours bus ride away.

3:12 am

that isn't just family, that is caring family. That is really wonderful, Jenny

3:13 am

fi4fl5 for me! Have a lovely day/night, all.

The only draw back really is that my husband doesn't really want any friends just his brothers - he sees at least one of them every day and speaks on the phone to the others and as they are all over 70 now I dread to think what will happen when one dies.

4:16 am

Good morning everyone:) coffee break here for me time to quickly look at the grid:)

Good Morning everyone...phew...one graduation down, one more to go....

7:26 am

Hi River! Thank goodness...I thought I was all alone! Congratulations on the graduation! It is very emotional.

7:28 am

It was a beautiful ceremony...we had the governor there as a distinquished speaker....kids were awesome. Surprisingly enough, I did not cry - it was fun.

morning girls~!

7:28 am

I will probably cry tonight at my sons middle school graduation

7:28 am

Sounds like a great event!

congrats on the graduation

7:28 am

Hi MRP! How are you doing in your recovery?

7:28 am

hello mrp

7:29 am

I got choked up when Dylan got his kindergarten certificate on Friday. I am a geek!

7:29 am

morning, all!

7:29 am

I usually am too

7:29 am

Hi uusue!

doing bloody marvellous... totally being naughty and refereeing, but easy (walkable) games

7:29 am

congrats to your Dylan

hi usue!! :)

7:29 am

so glad to hear that MRP!

7:30 am

let me see if I can change my icon...brb

7:30 am

hi, mrp! Glad to hear you are feeling better! (but don't be TOO naughty...)

I cried when my daughter was nominated and then got house captain in year 6, which is the end of our primary school. We start high school in year 7, and I cried when they started there!!

7:31 am

Stats please for the left lower i?

oh usue, the drugs make me insane I think!!

7:31 am

I am glad to hear that I am not the only weepy one!

7:31 am

I have an im4/6, car

glad you girls are here... i have to go to court tomorrow to face 'the prick'.

7:32 am

well, my son makes me insane, think I'd rather have drugs at this point

7:32 am

Oh good god. I was wondering about that but didn't want to ask.

I refused to go to mediation in the end... I can't sit in a room with him

7:32 am

and im5 that sounds like a kind of acid

7:32 am

oh, mrp, the anticipation is awful, but you will do fine I am sure!!!!

7:33 am

Ty! Got them both! Good morning Une!

7:33 am

mrp, know you're dreading this -- all best wishes for a speedy and POSITIVE resolution!!!!!!!

7:33 am

uusue...how is that situation going?

I changed my mind after my cancer treatment a couple of weeks ago... I just don't have the fortitude to do it

7:33 am

and I think you are doing the right thing by not going to mediation.

7:33 am

hey, car :-)

7:33 am

hi, une!!

hi une!! :)

7:33 am

howdy, sue :-)

7:33 am

I just want you to be safe MRP.

7:33 am

BINGO!! (left column is gray :-)

7:34 am

Yeah!!!!!

yes, cause he could basically sit there and abuse me to screw with me, then go back to court and screw with me some more

7:34 am

Stats please for the second M word from the bottom? I have mi 4/5.

thanks car... I think I will be getting a PVO out against him after the evidence tomorrow

7:34 am

mrp, please know that a gazillion babblers will be there in spirit!!!

7:35 am

Absolutely! Holding you close and sending only positive, strong energy to you!

thank you girls!! (((hugs une!))) it makes a huge difference.... will be in there in 12 hours

7:35 am

and I could use stats for the lone r just under the center... (the mi4/5 is the only one I have from that m, car)

7:36 am

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{mrp}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} }}}

8:09 am

good morning everyone;))

(((crossy))) !!

8:10 am

(((MRP)))

poor lickety's fear is in here... getting the sn4,5... happening for the poor barstard on Monday!!

8:12 am

lol

8:12 am

tell him it is not so bad..crossy had it done

8:12 am

once the swelling goes down lol

i will, but not happy about how much it is going to cost.... did you go under a light general anestetic??

8:13 am

and you get used to the strange feeling of things just recirculating inside and not really going anywhere lol

8:13 am

local

exactly what I think...

so am looking for another doctor who will do it in office, locally

8:14 am

tell him from crossy that the boys will be large tangerines for a few few days lol..jyst black and blue

oh man! he will have to get used to that! he is worried it will slow his sex drive down, and his voice will go all 'david beckham'.

oh no!! better get the icepacks ready huh?

8:15 am

but in many cases it is easier for the man..especially with all you have gone through of late

8:15 am

yes..lots of ice

8:16 am

his voice will be fine,and he will be friskier than ever cause it is like a free hall pass now... lol

well, he has accepted it fully, shows a lot of support and commitment to me

8:16 am

all the cake...no calories later lol

hahaha!! but I am untouchable for 10 weeks!!

perfect crossy... anytime, any place!!

8:16 am

hehe

8:17 am

so,lets see,he is getting done friday...a week ten days for him..then 8 more weeks for you.....

8:18 am

you guys best both book off for all of september lol

he is getting done some time in the next week, I am looking for a different doc... one who isn't a gouger

oooh, spring fever!!

8:19 am

my snipping was covered under the provincial heath plan

8:19 am

lol,spring for you,fall for us

we have the same here, but he is going private... i think he should go through public too, as it is imperative that he be 'fixed' for my health

8:21 am

problem was,6 weeks after my "snipping" was when my first cancer was diagnosed :/been a rough 5 years,but crossy is ready to chase 25 year old honeys along the beach again...problem is they run too fast for me now lol

8:21 am

for a procedure like this,any hospital and the resident surgeon will do

hahahaha!! oh crossy!!

rough 5 years indeed!! so sorry you went through that too! *hugs*

8:24 am

had that the other day,was carrying 2 bags to the car,and this vision approaces me on the way to her car,25-30 blonde,tall,all legs and boobs,i straighten myself,puff up my chest,she walks up to me and says..."sir,would you like me to help you get you bags to your car ?"..the fantasy is over.....

the bugger of a doctor wants to charge him $670, and no idea how much the 'twilight sleep' anesthetist would cost... out of pocket about $700... and $500 excess to hospital!! Ummmm, I don't think so!

oh hunny!! can you not change the wording a little... 'would you LIKE ME to carry your 'bags' to your car?

8:26 am

lol,my mistake...

$1600 for a vasectomy?? bulls**t!!

8:27 am

insane...crossy loves his provincial health care!!!

we have the same as you, but f-wit docs try you out to get whatever they can from you.... literally 'bleed' you dry

8:28 am

and because it was for my wifes saftey,it was deemed essential surgery and fully coverred

8:28 am

except when it doesn't pay for oxaliplatin ... and you gotta beg the welfare people for help ...

exactly!!! I am going to look into that

8:28 am

do not let them rip you off

thank you crossy! that is exactly what I will get for him

8:29 am

Morning friends

what is oxaliplatin??

hi mr bob! :)

8:29 am

it's the current number one choice chemo therapy for colon cancer ...

chemo is free here... but radiotheray isn't

8:30 am

yes,any custom drugs are often not covered,

I have only ever had radiotherapy and it is a big out of pocket expense

8:30 am

buth are covered here mrp

8:31 am

but it's not covered by the Ontario Health Care Plan ... it's too new ... but it's covered in British Columbia ... so I almost had to move across the country to stay alive ...

8:31 am

though the immune system shots at 2000 a piece for 0 days had to be a special request

I have been told to go to Canada for my next lot of treatment, if I need it (hoping never need it again).

8:32 am

lol mrp..we still have the queen on our money,so i assume we are all strill in the same club as far as that goes lol

I just don't understand why radiotherapy costs here... it is my preferred choice of treatment

indeed, and our health system is almost identical

8:33 am

would of been mine as well...chemo sucks;((

poor hunny... chemo is nasty

8:33 am

one day,i will show you pictures of bald chemo crossy....

did they give you a choice??

8:34 am

no

8:34 am

if you've gotta come here for treatment ... make sure that you check out each provinces rules ... I'll guess that British Columbia covers more ... which is good for you because it's closest to Sydney ...

I will show you thinned out blonde short hair of mrp!

8:35 am

yes,there are minor provincial varriances

I have been trying on and off for the last two hours to get the m on the bottom row for nbt please can someone clue this

8:35 am

8:49 am

Mr. Clean has a seldom-used first name—”Veritably.” The name came from a “Give Mr. Clean a First Name” promotion in 1962.

I am actually enjoying L&O Criminal Intent with Jeff Goldblum... he is fitting in well

Veritably!! I likie!, need to call one of my new fish that name

8:52 am

:)

we got some new bristlenose catfish... one called Hunter, the other Cleopatra... I am picking up a very perky gurami in a couple of days... it will suit her.

8:53 am

nice:)

8:54 am

Good morning, all. Babble can always use fresh fish, Mr. P. :-)

hi judi! :))

8:54 am

howdy judi

8:56 am

hi again, all!

8:56 am

having a quick breakfast...

wb usue!

8:57 am

Mr. P!!! Just read your profile news. YIKES!!! Hope everything goes well and you heal quickly. When is your new court date? I'm thinking of you and sending BIG {{{{hugs}}}}.

8:57 am

Morning Fellow Babblers!

Hi Judy!! :) **hugs** Court is tomorrow, I am not going through mediation anymore... changed my mind. He will have to deal with me tomorrow cause I cannot sit in a room with that man... no friggin way!

8:59 am

how absolutely awful Mr P. Sounds like a wacko.

8:59 am

so, you're not pursuing any court action?

I am still healing, healing well, but can't deal with the Prick... either mentally or physically

oh I am... I have a load of proof for the magistrate and will ask for an immediate PVO against him.

9:00 am

I had those surgical options a few years ago. I opted for a hysterectomy although not for the same reasons as your surgery.

9:00 am

WOOHOO MR P. GO GET THE PRICK! LOL

And then, will deal with him in the district court to get my money back for my lawyer and get him for perjury and compensation for the causal links to my car and house fire... he is screwed. It will all be done with court officers and police around, and several of my friends, and many of the local community who come along to have a 'looksie' at who is in trouble.

9:02 am

please let us know what happens, Mr. P.

Judy, I just went with what my gyno said was the best thing for my timing... if it doesn't work out, will go the hysterectomy too

I will judy, thank you!! appreciate your concern and luv

9:03 am

just make sure you take good care of yourself, Mr. P. Time is the best healer.

9:04 am

Thankfully, I had no complications but I made sure I followed my doctor's orders.

sure is judy, just can't believe how much time it is taking to get over the shock of the fire... i still cry almost everyday

9:05 am

crossy, what happened to the kitty?

9:05 am

ok, been reading and lurking and wishing mrp well, now time to get to work! See you all later!!

9:05 am

a fire has to be the scariest thing to ever happen. you don't feel safe anymore. and to think someone purposely did it!!! horrible!!

when I referee, I bound my uterus area, and wear two sets of corset style underwear... keeping it safe!

9:05 am

bye sue

bye usue!! see you soon hun!

9:05 am

LOL great idea Mr. P.

indeed judy, that is the killer... knowing someone wanted to hurt us so badly.

9:06 am

and this is a neighbor? does he harass anyone else in the neighborhood?

no judy, he is obsessed with me only... a very sick obsession

and obsessions don't 'go away'. he will do something again unfortunately, and then he will be gaoled

9:07 am

is he married? the wife must be scared to death of him

9:08 am

that's also very scary . . . waiting for the next escapade

she can't stand him

she fed his obsession, and then when he went too far, she freaked out!!

9:09 am

good grief; a wacky duo

9:09 am

one's bad enough but two together is a disaster

funny thing judy, karma will take care of him... very very good care of him.

9:11 am

yep - what goes around comes around . . . just too bad you were in the middle of the mess

I must have killed a china man in my past life... too much crap but plenty of love around me

but I have my armoury ready, and am steady to pull my arrow from my quiver... being in a small community, I have to show I am strong and loved by many... keeps the psychos away

9:14 am

stay safe Mr. P; I'll be praying for you and the family. the best revenge is be happy and have lots of friends and love surrounding you.

exactly judy! thank you hun :)

wow it is tuesday already!! no sleep for me I guess... will try and get a cat nap in... try being the operative word! LOL!!

9:17 am

I was wondering what time it was in AU. Thought it was a bit late for you to be up! LOL

9:21 am

10:34 am

oh thanks molly

10:34 am

Think of a little sprite-like creature and add a vowel for that i word.

10:34 am

I think you either love it or hate it - I saw it in the cinema and loved it but i'm not sure it would be as fgood on a tv screen

10:34 am

TY Molly

10:35 am

10:35 am

Yay Ru!

10:36 am

re 6/21...decorate the Christmas tree again

10:38 am

I don't love it or hate it Glant. It's just okay. I feel like I'm watching an extended version of Masterpiece Theater.

10:40 am

a few of my friends thought it was way too long but i enjoyed it all

10:40 am

I heard it was long, that's why I saved it for a day off.

10:41 am

The cinematography and the costumes are exquisite.

10:42 am

And I love Helana Bonham Carter in a "non-mental" role.

10:45 am

doh....yes i do...thnx molly and haz

10:47 am

You're welcome.

10:55 am

Are y'all not familiar with the phrase tr4 the tree?

10:55 am

It's an American rather than British expression.

10:56 am

That's weird, I thought it was just the opposite.

10:56 am

I'm familiar with it but we tend to decorate rather than tr4.

10:56 am

Either way, I thought it was fairly common due to the media. What do I know.

10:57 am

and when you have a sailboat on a good tack,it is in good tr4;)

10:57 am

and when you have that good suit on,you look all tr4 and proper ;)

10:58 am

i rememberd it once i got the other clue but we don't really use the term for trees

10:58 am

and when you have a meal with all the bells and whistles ,it comes with all the tr4 ings;)

10:59 am

we use it in that context

10:59 am

vive la differance!

10:59 am

yabba dabba dooooooooooooooooo!!fireworks

10:59 am

we also say somebody is in trim if they are fit and slim

11:00 am

... Spangle included, of course

11:10 am

She's a bit more grey about the muzzle these days.

11:10 am

how old is she now?

11:11 am

She'll be 11 in November. It's hard to believe.

11:11 am

tempus fugit, sigh

11:12 am

Hi everyone. School's out so I can babble in the afternoon!!!

11:12 am

11:14 am

We have had almost 4 inches of rain since last night.

11:15 am

well, we are going downtown tonight, tickets for the old ball game, so I'm hoping for no rain..

11:15 am

Lord, send us some of that!

11:16 am

I know, not a fair distribution

11:16 am

we were low until storms rolled in on Saturday. I let up some yesterday, but the skies opened this am

11:17 am

Ducks are happy

11:19 am

It's been so long since we've had any marked amount of rain, the local rivers here feel like bathwater...

11:20 am

ours are running over. Indy has several flooding streets.

11:21 am

has been a fun grid .. done and must run.. Happy Babbling, all, see you next grid I hope!

11:21 am

We've had lots here in CT. Garden is a jungle

11:21 am

Bye, Aloy.

1:07 pm

not a word anyway but I was hoping :-)

1:08 pm

and is doing fine,bht we have to put the cone back on today,cause the stiches are itchy

1:08 pm

ooh, I'll bet she doesn't like the cone!

1:08 pm

she hates the cone lol

1:09 pm

but the stiches are only a week old

1:09 pm

poor kitty!

1:09 pm

her tail is only 4 inches long now lol

1:09 pm

a bob-tail

1:09 pm

that must be disconcerting as well...

1:10 pm

it has affected her balance

1:11 pm

before she had a big fluffy tail over a foot long with a bug lard cyst at the end of it

1:11 pm

the weight difference must be great

1:11 pm

so she will have to learn to jump again - I hadn't thought about that!

1:11 pm

yes,cat use their tail like a rudder for jumping and balance on narrow things

1:12 pm

she fell off the widow sill yesterday;((

1:12 pm

oh, dear...

1:13 pm

she will get the feel for her new stubby tail in no time

1:14 pm

I hope so!

1:15 pm

crossy discovered a great qay to cut back on salt intake as my dr and my wife were giving me the evil eye...just go out and get a salt mill/grinder with a fine grind,and a box of coarse or sea salt.just doing that has cut down my salt intake over 75%

1:18 pm

shake of reg table salt is like 5 turns on the grinder,so same salty taste but less actual salt:)) nothing finer than beating the system;)

1:18 pm

the I words are holding me back from nbt - I'm 0/7 on the Is

1:18 pm

hi, btw :)

1:18 pm

howdy harry

1:19 pm

Pitter is in any legit dictionary as a device that removes a pit from fruit or a plant.

1:19 pm

how about impier

1:20 pm

just add that to the many words enable ignores

1:20 pm

hooray got 2 from the bottom I

1:20 pm

just missing the left I now

1:20 pm

Impy and impier I can't find, but I agree they seem logical.

1:22 pm

can't seem to convince myself that imprint is not there

1:22 pm

for those that need it,i can now share the entire Stephen king "dark tower series" in e-pub or pdf format just mssg me at p.a.melbourne@gmail.com

1:22 pm

there's an acid from the left I, harry, and an im4/6 which is very similar to one of the words Molly just mentioned

1:23 pm

aah got the 4 TY! nbt and 81 to go :)

1:23 pm

<---- Loves the Dark Tower series (although not necessarily all of Stephen King)

1:23 pm

and yay, harry!

1:24 pm

dark tower series rocks!!

1:24 pm

did I mention how much I hate summer vacation?

1:24 pm

and got the acid woohoo

1:24 pm

was a long hunt to get it in e-book formats

1:24 pm

The Dark Tower series is the only bit of Stephen King's work that I've been unable to get into.

1:25 pm

thats a shame molly:(( brilliant work it is

1:26 pm

Funny tidbit, when King was working on the last of The Dark Tower series, he received a piece of fan mail with a picture of a teddy bear, bound and blindfolded. The letter said "Release the last Dark Tower book or the bear dies." : D

1:26 pm

took so long for him to write it that is fans were hoping he would live long enough to finish it

1:26 pm

ok, time to do a little work, then PhD defense (not mine, of course!) at 2. BBL!

1:27 pm

i know molly,he kept that pick by his word crumcher for a long time

1:27 pm

bye sue

Hi Sadie

Hi Hego

2:12 pm

hey all/anyone!

2:12 pm

Hi Stiddy

2:13 pm

how are you doing hego?

2:13 pm

Really good Stid, and you?

2:14 pm

working my way through the f's

2:15 pm

not bad. delayed taking a med that makes me feel temporarily worse so I could be at school in the morning. A real-live NASA astronaut visited the school today!!!! *starry eyed look*

2:16 pm

42 and at a big wall. time to list

2:16 pm

lol

2:16 pm

go harry go!

2:16 pm

Sounds exciting!

2:17 pm

it was lovely. I videotaped the event, the class sat in the bleachers with the teacher, so I wasn't distracted by their wiggling... sat by 1st and 2nd graders instead. WOW are they LITTLE!!!

2:18 pm

And nicer too.

2:18 pm

I know a lot of people prefer the tiny ones. I am a middle-school person though, and like the advantages of students who are more independent and accountable.

2:19 pm

they scare me.

2:19 pm

yes, a lot of people are put off by the attitudes in middle school.

2:20 pm

I only know them as a nurse. And the little kids were always my favorites.

2:20 pm

But I have found that often the toughest customers are the ones who make the biggest strides and build the strongest bonds.

2:21 pm

Bless you for being a nurse -- that would be more difficult than regular teaching I think.

2:21 pm

Scrabs was just saying that teenage girls were her least fave.

2:21 pm

I love doing the ped shifts, though.

2:22 pm

Teen girls can be challenging. I was blessed with boys to parent, and that is QUITE challenging enough!!! LOL

2:22 pm

I liked being a mom to girls, though.

2:24 pm

I wouldn't know what to do with girls, to be honest. Treat them like boys I suppose and adapt as needed?

2:24 pm

Yup!

2:24 pm

LOL that's what I do in the classroom -- they are all "kiddo" to me.

2:25 pm

Hmmm. The f's weren't bad.

2:25 pm

hooray for lickety! 3 left

2:25 pm

very good

2:25 pm

go harry go! go hego go!

2:25 pm

Sexual equality. I like that.

Yay! Harry.

4:32 pm

last week my computer was eaten by a virus and then the hotline phones all went out and THEN my home internet went out but it turned out it was really my phones that went out

4:32 pm

good grief, jmc!

4:34 pm

i spent more than 3 hours on my cell phone today trying to get things to work.

4:34 pm

4:40 pm

fetterers?

4:41 pm

fieldhand?

4:41 pm

sorry that was fi

NO, but I think that it's enough for you to go to the PB. In my interpretation of Constitutional Law.

4:41 pm

fe**s don't fail me now

No, actually- I take that back.

4:42 pm

JMC channels Lowell George.

4:42 pm

*whew* I couldn't see what i had done wrong

4:43 pm

yay Lowell George! :D

I was seeing words again.

4:43 pm

so i found two new jobs to apply for

4:44 pm

i wish i would see the im5 word :-(

4:44 pm

There's a fat man, in the bathtub, with the blues.

4:44 pm

im 5 is very like an am5 acid

4:45 pm

what jobs, jmc?

so two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar

And one say's "I think I've lost an electron."

The other one says "are you sure?" And the first one says...

"II'm positive."

4:47 pm

Nice icon Sue. The shuttle will be missed. A rocket ship attached to a giant phallic symbol. You gotta love the y-chromos.

4:47 pm

lol

4:47 pm

sort of

4:47 pm

*giggle!*

4:47 pm

brb crisis

4:48 pm

<--- Stands by with an IV of Jack for JMC to be administered post-crisis

4:50 pm

thx, molly (and since anything that is longer than it is wide can be considered a phallic symbol I am not inclined to be too critical about the shape of rockets - they are pretty much dictated by aerodynamics)

A girl walks into a bar and asks for a DOuble Entendre and the bartender gives her one..

4:51 pm

A very professor-like explanation of the whole phallic phenomenon.

Rabbi, priest and an imam walk into a bar and the bartender says

"Is this a joke?"

Neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. Asks the price and the bartender says

"For you, no charge."

Termite walks into a bar and asks

4:52 pm

Kap, you missed your calling in stand up.

"Is the bar tender?"

That's it for now.

4:52 pm

i thought this was quiet time kap.

But I'm sitting down.

4:53 pm

i just had to write calming emails but will take the Jack orally

4:53 pm

maybe it's the Paul Lynde pic inspiring you? ;p

4:54 pm

*Passes JMC a double shot and avoids comments about "orally" *

4:54 pm

I kept hearing the jokes in his voice, lol

4:54 pm

how can there be so many F words????

4:54 pm

so the two jobs are: director of Save Darfur and another international quaker job

4:54 pm

evening all - i liked those jokes - particularly the termite one

4:54 pm

the termite certainly had a paul lynde feel to it

4:55 pm

(would you have preferred i said by mouth?)

4:55 pm

Ladies and Gentleman! Kaplan The Magne! Come on back to The Babble Comedy Club soon and please tip your servers generously.

4:55 pm

the down side of the Darfur job is that it is not the top job.

4:56 pm

you are just asking for a tip since you gave me a Jack!

4:56 pm

okay i need remedial help for the i in the first column

4:56 pm

No, the emcee doesn't get tipped. But thanks anyway. The drink was on the house.

4:57 pm

jmc - what is the other job?

4:57 pm

It ends the same way those pretty little ponies that start with PAL do

4:57 pm

im5/12, im4/6

4:57 pm

i have got the i's but i dont know which ones went where

4:58 pm

im4 - pesky little gnome type creatures + extra vowel

5:00 pm

im5/12 is like a building block of life except with a different first letter (am*** acid)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J947DhD 7kHc&feature=related

5:02 pm

the other job is in England with Friends World Committee on Consultation

5:02 pm

any clues for the pi 6 after the word for heaps please

5:02 pm

ty uu that makes nbt for me

5:02 pm

ty uu that makes nbt for me

5:02 pm

that sounds interesting but a long way from home for you jmc

5:03 pm

that is part of what makes it interesting kazz and i can still play babble

5:04 pm

where would the Darfur job be?

5:05 pm

we could come and visit you

5:05 pm

where would you be based in UK

5:05 pm

the darfur job is in DC

5:06 pm

Greater London Area is what the job description says

5:06 pm

thats quite a large area

5:07 pm

i guess they just want me to be able to find a place i can afford.

5:08 pm

and now the time has arrived! i know you all have been waiting on the edge of your seat!it is time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!!

5:08 pm

but I grew up in Houston which is quite a large area too

5:08 pm

Gadsby is a 1939 novel by Ernest Vincent Wright with over 50,000 words—but not a single word contains the letter ‘E.’

5:08 pm

okay i am off

5:08 pm

I'm glad you have some opportunities cropping up JMC.

Yes, JMC- good luck

5:13 pm

bye, jmc!

clues on the fe9?

5:18 pm

You aid and abet a fe5/16...add an anagram of what the sun does in the morning

That isn't a word- it's a typo!

Everyone knows there is no R in those crimes!

5:20 pm

it does seem to have an extra r in it, doesn't it?

5:21 pm

I agree Kap. Another of the many stupid Babble words.

5:28 pm

ok, I am going to go home. See you all later!

5:29 pm

yes, that fe9 is a made up word

5:29 pm

I agree peri

5:32 pm

6:37 pm

Hi again, all! I have once again survived my walk home :-)

6:38 pm

Yay for Sue!!

6:40 pm

and I still have 76 words to find but have not started the big push yet...

6:45 pm

I thought the big push is what completed your walk home. : D

6:46 pm

nah, I just kind of amble, mostly (although I have been getting a little faster as i do it more)

6:47 pm

I think any walking you do is good for you. I pretty much scoff at the "power walkers".

6:51 pm

well, the nice thing about walking faster is also the nice thing about running - you can get more exercise done in less time. But I can't run any more, sadly.

Afternoon all...How is everyone?

6:55 pm

Hi, red! I am good! How are you?

I'm doing good. headache, but, I had a big day.

6:55 pm

what did you do?

Out to lunch, then the gym, th gym and the gym. odd how that would be too much.

Oh and I gritted my teeth and ordered ugly fabric for a baby quilt for a baby with an ugly nursery.

6:57 pm

sounds like a lot to me, red! And lol about the nursery :-)

olive green, maybe a little bright than olive, and mustard yellow.

6:57 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

6:57 pm

well, it will match the baby poop :-)

6:57 pm

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

Hi Minver how are you?

6:57 pm

hi, min! I am good.

6:58 pm

I am good redturtlehead.Saving last word for later on

I am using your story, already found a few words!

6:59 pm

I am glad you found it in my profile.Was going to post in chog because its at bottom of profile, but it's long.

And watching Antiques Roadshow, I love that show!

7:01 pm

Olive green and mustard yellow for a baby's room????

7:01 pm

almost heaven...

Olives and mustard- baby food?

7:02 pm

More like baby poop.

thank you Molly. I agree. but its painted and its their choice.

I broke it up with a cute flannel jungle pattern for babies...lions, elephants...

7:02 pm

just what I thought, molly :-)

7:02 pm

no, minver's icon

7:03 pm

Sorry Sue, I missed your earlier comment. I don't get drab colors for a baby's room.

I swear the pregnancy hormones went to her head. they are just jarring in my opinion. both are brihgt but still just very retro colors and not retro I would choose.

No firier?

But, I am going to make that quilt

7:04 pm

was wondering about that myself, kap, but it's fierier. English is a strange language.

7:05 pm

Red, that is a really nice gift. There is a baby blanket that was crocheted over 30 years ago that still lives in a memory box here and was loved by all three of my kids.

FiErier?????????????????????????????

I just got a sudden hankering for some olives with mustard.

7:06 pm

like fiery, but more so, kap.

Should be firy or firery. The word is fire.

7:07 pm

I agree. But it isn't.

7:07 pm

I'm having this mental image of an Ugly Betty-like person in therapy telling her therapist that she's always wanted to be dynamic, but she keeps remembering her drab nursery. : P

Oh.

Her comfort food will be...

7:08 pm

Mushy peas!!!!!

Well, its for a boy...I have this odd feeling that within about 6-8 months they will redo it...

7:09 pm

(Where is Lilliann when I need her)

OK, bear with me, I am watching antiques roadshow....in witchita KS, and this man just said, "Yes sir, I like Cows, cows you know, I like them"....

it entertains me.

7:10 pm

pretty funny, red :-)

Ha ha ha!

he was standing there with an oil painting oh cows.

Cause he likes cows.

yes sir.

7:11 pm

Yepper.

And cows like me.

eee-yup.

7:12 pm

Hi kje!Looking back in the chog.What about my icon?

he looked like a bumkin, but he was quite knowledgable about how to care for a pating.

I am going to go to sleep and dream of cows in a mustard patch

eating olives. and going to therapy.

Cow therapy.

Here's a good one courtesy of Perspicuity---say this out loud. Victorious Egret.

cowabumga...

Victorious Egret---get it?

7:14 pm

Frank's favorite store...

(hum of many Babblers thinking)

You got it.
