well done dart

12:11 am

I keep seeing words which don't count but are the names of famous Great Danes of long ago, such as Herman of Zorn.

12:26 am

I need help all over this grid -- not functioning mentally

I agree jili

12:27 am

well, lucky you, mrp. I have lots of belly and one and a half boobs (brst cancer), yuk. Who'd a thunk it when I was your age!

12:28 am

12:38 am

In my NY childhood there were only Tootsie Rolls. Such lacksin my childhood -- but advantages too -- see the profile.

12:39 am

hard on the outside and soft on the inside, mrp -- sweet throughout but not cloying.

1:20 am

I've seen the chat do that before on occasion

is it the 'man flu' crystalle??

1:20 am

no it is 6yr old boy flu lol

1:21 am

It also happens when people post huge pictures as their icons, I think.

1:21 am

Or something happens, maybe jerky chat.

oh, baby boy flu... just the same

like when jerks join the chat??

1:22 am

haha mrp

btw, what is our troll alert at the moment?? last time, it was 'yellow alert'

1:23 am

I haven't seen any trolls in a long time

1:23 am

he is an old man hiding in a little boy! his coach asked him what he wnted to do during the hols that are coming up and he said "I think i miight sleep and eat"

1:23 am

still the same, mrp , or utb (under the bridge)

cool, utb it is

soup him up and give him neurofen... poor crys

1:25 am

i'm stuck with 35 to go.. and I need to go count something to go to bed..

1:25 am

what's the troll alert? lol

1:26 am

lol he isnt even sick!! he is sniffling nd has tinsiest cough. (personally i think he wanted to get out of school for a day and he seems addicted to butter menthols!)

Clues are up

1:26 am

wd ruru -- I won't need sheep. What can I count to stay awake?

lickety has removed it

1:26 am

Thanks you Lickety!

1:27 am

thanks lickety

ty lickety just looking for one se4 now won't be long

i close my eyes and count the stars I see behind my eyelids

1:28 am

I can't find a single word now.

fireworks!!!

1:28 am

ok so will probably be stupidest question ever and u all probably know the answer but how does lickety give the clues without actually doing the grid?

1:28 am

ok so will probably be stupidest question ever and u all probably know the answer but how does lickety give the clues without actually doing the grid?

1:28 am

wtg vanilla

1:28 am

hooray for vanilla!

1:28 am

yay, vanilla!!

1:28 am

sorry wasnt supposed to double that

ty good people

1:29 am

we're used to double, triple, quadruple posts, no worries

I think lickety will want to keep that to themselves

on ya vanilla!!

1:31 am

Lickety is a he, vanilla, Mrpresident (mrp) is his wife.

ok that clears that up

1:31 am

I think lickety's is generated magically somehow...

it is all very technical crys... nerdy, dorky, geeky... hard to explain.

1:31 am

i guess a more interesting question is how did lickety like the possum pie lol

but he did it for me so I wouldn't bash the keyboard and yell at the screen anymore

1:32 am

awwwww....

1:32 am

what a nice hubby!!!

and we decided to share it with the world

1:33 am

<--- doing the "we're not worthy" bow ;p

1:33 am

for which we are eternally grateful. He did Expert for mrp too, when she was going through hell with her arm.

and we hold the nerdy dorky geeky man in high esteem

1:34 am

you betcha, vanilla

1:34 am

awww what a cosiderate man

yeah, he realised I was addicted, he was a babble widow, and he had to get me through it before beating the hell out of the keyboard with one arm

1:36 am

I have to go. Good bye everyone, take care and good luck

see ya crys :)

same here hagd all

1:36 am

bfn crys

1:38 am

bye vanilla

1:38 am

nbs but not nbt

nite nilla!!

go jilli!!

1:41 am

oh, not even halfway, mrp -- too blurry

1:41 am

nbt but missing all 7's and the 8

1:42 am

may I help you with your bt's, jilli? :)

1:43 am

maybe, rbud -- let me try to think

1:44 am

yay, got a 7!

don't worry jilli, I am stuck on the lower alpha words, won't be moving forward for a while

1:44 am

how about the left-hand L?

1:44 am

wd rbud

1:46 am

I have only one, le4, an old man's dirty look, perhaps?

1:46 am

nah, have that dirty old man -- not from that L

1:46 am

rbud, there's also a 'dirty old man'

1:47 am

then maybe le4, a man's name, pl?

don't need to be a dirty old man... just a prick! to le4

1:47 am

yes, guess that describes your nasty neighbour, mrp

1:47 am

ty, flosey, I noticed it as I was about to use the word le4erous in my clue, haha

1:47 am

I guess you know about that, mrp :-(

1:50 am

oh my -- monkey found an O word, so now only 2 short for nbt -- the L on the left and the E under it

1:51 am

try the man's name, or the wind-sheltered side of something, pl

1:51 am

jilli, I think it's le5/10, the word that looks like a plural but isn't,

1:52 am

oooh, that was the second one, thanks! :D

1:53 am

using the lower e

1:53 am

ah, got le4/4 (winey, I think) so just need the E now.

1:54 am

the E is fishy, though it took me ages to see it - el4, means otherwise

1:54 am

I suppose that could be considered the wind-sheltered sides of things too

he makes me wanna puke!

1:54 am

not finding the ni5, any clues please?

and how dare he still make me cry!!

1:55 am

tyvm rbud, swallowing the fish for nbt!

1:55 am

the nephew's sister?

1:56 am

yay, jilli! :)

1:56 am

tyty rbud

1:56 am

mrp, toss him away!

1:56 am

ty rbud for the sister too

wish I could... 'prick' has me tied up in court

1:57 am

anyone have the first or6?

1:57 am

and pl, and a similar pi5 and 6

1:58 am

thanks again rbud

1:59 am

no or6 here, flosey, sorry

2:00 am

I can't continue -- too tired. Going to get ready for bed. Have to take a pill in an hour. Happy babbling all...poof

2:02 am

goodnight jilli

2:03 am

I'm about ready to pack it in - before I polish off the rest of the ice cream

2:04 am

nite, ladies!

2:04 am

was trying to clue my or6 but got caught in the hiccup

2:04 am

oh, I'll wait, rbud

2:05 am

do you have the or5? the 6 is the same but with another vowel added in

2:06 am

well, the first or5, I glanced at lickety and see there are two

2:07 am

yes, the or6 I need is the first or word

2:08 am

or5 I have is: or + 1st 3 of a spice, ***namon (good on toast with sugar) then add a vowel in 4th spot

2:08 am

for the 6

2:09 am

don't have the other two or's yet

2:11 am

o's obliterated now, yay, thanks to morewords!

2:14 am

well, 38 left, off I go, good luck to all! :)

2:15 am

me too, finally,

2:16 am

15 left here, should be able to find them tomorrow

2:16 am

goodnight and good luck

3:04 am

anybody here? sleepless night for me...

3:13 am

Hi Sue - and anyone else around

3:15 am

hi, lynxxx!

3:16 am

Pity we don't have a larger grid to occupy your mind. Assume you are thinking/worrying too much to sleep?

3:22 am

pretty much, lynxxx. and son's ex just made another facebook account and is harassing him with it.

3:26 am

uusue, if he doesnt put her as a friend , he wont be able to see what she says

3:27 am

she's sending him messages, ivesy, which you can do even if you're not a friend - he has to block every new account she creates

3:28 am

ok... wasnt aware that u can do that... can he get a restraining order , to cover any contact

3:28 am

did my last response just vanish?

3:29 am

ok, no, my internet is wonky, never mind.

3:29 am

he's applied for a restraining order, ivesy, and she's already been warned not to contact him. He'll be calling his lawyer in the morning.

morning all...

3:30 am

good. mb she needs time in jail to see that he is serious

3:31 am

morning, fish2!

3:31 am

good morning all

3:35 am

phantom for today: heroic

3:36 am

morning, sprite!

3:36 am

hi uusue :) Beautiful colours in your icon!

3:36 am

and I am going to go back to bed and see if I can get a couple hours of sleep before I have to get up for real. see you all later!

3:37 am

I hope you sleep well, uusue. *hug*

3:37 am

thx, sprite, me too!

3:38 am

bye Sue - sorry my connection is lousy tonight

3:38 am

hi lyn :) xxx

3:38 am

Hi Sprite & Ivesy

3:42 am

I think most dutchmen are happy today. Temp dropped significantly. We had quite a good thunderstorm last evening and night.

3:43 am

You have been having a heatwave - or just dry?

3:45 am

our temps jumped from around 20 C to 35+ C in one day, then, as usual here with high temps, it became humid and hot. Awful tension in the air. And then a huge thunderstorm. Very different from Aus, I bet!

3:47 am

sounds pretty much like Melbourne! 2/3 days of really high temps then a beautiful storm - sometimes just heat lightening and sometimes with rain

3:48 am

and unusually we had a really humid Summer down here too

3:49 am

sounds familiar indeed. We almost always have heavy rain with the thunderstorms. It goes ratatatatata on the streets and windows and roofs. We will be having more hot days, even stretches of hot weather in July and August. Almost always followed by thunderstorms and always humid. Humid isn't pleasant, lyn, am sorry.

3:52 am

Sorry for you too! the humidity is awful...of course it is a constant up in the North of Australia (tropical) but not usual for down South.

3:52 am

I can handle heat ok if it is dry. But the good part is, I love thunderstorms :)

3:53 am

...and Terra? I always seem to score dogs who are terrified of them

3:54 am

Terra couldn't care less. With the first hard blast he raised his head and looked at us. We didn't react, he laid down his head and slept on.

3:55 am

Good boy!

3:56 am

yes he is awesome. I often think his name Lionheart was no fluke, grin. He is afraid of nothing, in for everything, always up for a cuddle and he can sleep like nobody's business.

3:56 am

but then again, lyn, your Stew is a rescue, and Terra isn't. Terra hasn't had a reason to be scared in all of his life. He is priviliged.

3:57 am

privileged. Priviledged. Omg, I don't know, lol!

3:57 am

hey there sprite and lyn

3:58 am

Lovely! we have a new exhibition in town for a few months "Vienna Art and Design" including some Egon Schiele - one of my most favorites! Sounds like a good day out

3:58 am

hey gort!

3:58 am

hi Gort

3:58 am

sounds good, lyn!

3:58 am

what is egon shiele - sounds high falutin

3:59 am

an artist Gort - not to everyones taste though

4:00 am

he is an Austrian artist. Student of Klimt, I think.

4:02 am

yeah looks like the love child of klimt and hugh heffner

4:02 am

not so much a student but Klimt was a mentor

4:03 am

Heffner?!

4:03 am

so how does a nice babbler like you become a shiele fan

4:03 am

interesting work. (just looking up some paintings). I like the trees. But I don't think I would like to have one of his people on my wall. Great to visit in an exhibit though!

4:03 am

ah, close but no cigar, as usual, lol.

4:04 am

I love his figures - had a couple of posters up on walls when we were first married - big fan

4:04 am

heffner because of the erotic part, I think

4:05 am

it's at times like these that I am mindful of what a artistically insensible yobbo i am

4:05 am

you will have a lovely time then, lyn

4:05 am

lol gort, why? If we all liked the same things, life would be utterly boring.

4:06 am

I am sure not Gort - would be very boring if we all liked exactly the same things

4:06 am

snap Sprite

4:06 am

snap, lyn :D

4:06 am

stop that!

4:06 am

well cos i dunno one end of a shiele landscape from commercial soft port

4:07 am

*LOL!*

4:07 am

so, gort? You know other stuff that we don't.

4:07 am

or soft port. I'm pretty good with my ports now - galway, penfolds, etc

4:08 am

porn! sheesh i can't spell or recognise art when it bites me in the butt

4:08 am

last night a young person called me an "educated bogan" - awesome!

4:08 am

porn is overrated, grin. As my former boyfriend said: I don't want to watch, I want to do it.

4:08 am

yummmm Galway Port - that brings back memories

4:09 am

sounds like a good boyfriend!

4:09 am

port is good. Ruby or tawny?

4:09 am

no he wasn't, but he had some good sayings

4:10 am

what memories are those, lyn?

4:12 am

Galway is a blend of Shiraz & Tokay apparently so I guess a Ruby

4:12 am

btw, clue for the he5/22 pls?

4:12 am

used to drink a fair amount of port in my 20s & 30s and enjoyed it immensely

4:12 am

well I like both. We have a great store close by that sells cheeses, wine and ports. Lovely.

4:13 am

me too, husband and i discovered port sippers - hilariously lewiscarollian glass bulb with inbuilt straw and dear little legs

4:13 am

he5 - like' Summer Br**** makes me feel fine etc"

4:13 am

I think it rhymes with the name for things like brie, gouda, emmenthaler etc

4:14 am

oh cool, got it thanks

4:14 am

I have seen those sippers but have never tried them - good to use?

4:15 am

good morning

4:15 am

yes! assuming you only want to drink an elegant sufficiency, they are the most charming way to imbibe

4:15 am

awwww sounds terrific, gort! I'd love to try it.

4:16 am

hi Ruby

4:16 am

hiya ruby

4:17 am

lynxx, are yu still there? A cityscape by Shiele was just auctioned off for an incredible amount. He and Klimt are my most favorite painters!!!!

4:17 am

hello gort

4:17 am

AND that gives me a new icon theme too. Thanks gort!

4:17 am

cheers sprite!

4:17 am

hi rubyfoo, sorry, my chog froze

4:18 am

{{sprite}}

4:18 am

We have another thing in common Ruby - though I can take or leave Klimt

4:19 am

and another one Sprite - Favourite artist

4:19 am

i like norman rockwell. I think that makes me some sort of troglodite

4:19 am

that is very interesting for you to like one without the other. Hmmm....putting on my Dr. Freud cape....

4:19 am

ok I think Neener should be allowed, hello everyone

4:19 am

hi meliae :)

4:20 am

hey mel

4:20 am

*swiftly hides cigar from rubyfoo*

4:20 am

sprite! lol

4:20 am

Did you know that Freud had a chow chow?

4:20 am

I love it, lyn. Putting it in right away.

4:20 am

Klimt is too decorative for me - and also TOO common - prints everywhere

4:20 am

hi Meliae!

4:21 am

AAAH. NOT SO COMMON around here

4:21 am

is chow chow a eupemism for a big....ego?

4:21 am

hiyas Lynxx =)

4:21 am

like mine, gort? hahah

4:21 am

it has been a long time since I visited the night crew =)

4:21 am

neener, mel

4:21 am

I think those are rottweilers

4:22 am

well you know what they say about just having to look at a man's nose... or car... maybe we can judge by chow chow as well.

4:22 am

I think chows are more like unmovable objects. They are headstrong like cats.

4:22 am

they are big, gentle balls of fluff

4:22 am

well put, sprite, and how very freudian of u

4:22 am

very big cats!!!

4:23 am

hang on, you can judge a man's 'equipment' by his dog!!??

4:23 am

hahahahaah LMAO

4:23 am

mel, it is lovely to see you. Can't you sleep?

4:23 am

somehow I don't think a man would enjoy having big gentle balls of fluff.

4:24 am

nah, but all is well just a restless night, better to get up and do something rather than toss and turn

4:24 am

big fat round LOL sprite

4:24 am

I agree, mel :)

4:24 am

but 75 lb balls of headstrong fluff

4:25 am

I think the current word is "package", lynxx, at least that's what the NY papers are using to describe Weiner

4:25 am

oh so many responses rush to fore, ruby, and look at me, exercising restraint

4:26 am

very close to the PB, rubyfoo :)

4:26 am

hahahah thank you for the we word

4:26 am

uh oh. My sister keeps sending me newspaper clippings about we****

4:26 am

easy on the restraint, gort, you might break something

4:26 am

clue for the re6 please?

4:26 am

TY Sprite (and Ruby)

4:27 am

did I offend you gort? I'm sorry if I did

4:27 am

*considers packages as a theme... nah, better not*

4:27 am

u r right sprite, any minute i'm gonna bust out and pop a fluffy headstrong ball

4:28 am

course you didn't offend me sweet gentle ruby, u r the epitome of niceness

4:28 am

hilarious Sprite, too darn funny

4:28 am

I'm just trying to be less of a yobbo

4:28 am

I didn't see wi**** in the grid

4:28 am

phew, gort!

4:28 am

transpose a couple of vwls Ruby

4:28 am

core

4:29 am

pinnie

4:29 am

ooh, sorry, I'm losing it. DH ios on the rampage again and I'm a little bit shaky. Are there calmants in the PB? I'll gladly go

4:30 am

rube r u ok? what do u mean by rampage

4:30 am

re6 another way of spelling re5.10

4:30 am

he's being very aggressive and scary, points his finger at me a lot

4:31 am

do u need to get away from him?

4:31 am

I would if I could

4:31 am

what stops u?

4:32 am

those fluffy balls of chow chow for one thing, my age for another, and $$ for a third

4:32 am

ruby, take hold of that finger. I mean it. You deserve better than being pointed at in such an aggressive way.

4:32 am

ruby i'm terribly sorry. u should not have to live with abuse

4:33 am

I'm afraid to do that

4:33 am

Can you say down stairs Ruby - he doesn't come down there does he?

4:33 am

and he brings flowers and wants to take me out for lunch.

4:33 am

Yes, I am downstairs and walked away.

4:34 am

flowers and lunch don't rectify mistreatment

4:34 am

he has never touched me, but this is starting to really look like the beginning of Alzheimer's

4:34 am

ruby.. never let them c u cry.. just say f+++u and smile.

4:34 am

Let him take you out to lunch and while you are out tell him calmly that you are frightened of him when he does that

4:34 am

I can understand that, ruby. It is hard to break from fear.

4:35 am

I'd rather have a pleasant conversation than flowers and lunch, that's for sure.

4:35 am

good advice, ivesy and I'm not crying, just shaky

4:36 am

You are possibly right about the Alzheimers Ruby - do you have experience with that?

4:36 am

I am with lyn. You will feel so much better when you stand up for yourself.

4:36 am

anough about me and my endless problem. Somebody please tell a joke!

4:36 am

is it time to put him in a home that isn't yours?

4:36 am

just what I've read about it and heard from others

4:37 am

well, how about I come over and stay for a while with you and your beloved? I promise you he will kiss the ground you walk on when I am gone, if only just because he realises how bad he could have chosen ;)

4:37 am

I can't do that yet because he acts normal more than half the time

4:37 am

he would love you, sprite, he already does from the collages you've made!

4:37 am

((lots of hugs for Ruby)) I think we all wish we could be there to help you

4:37 am

ruby i'm really sorry, it's none of my business, but you're a sweet babbler and I hate to think of you being terrorised. If you were in my town, i'd have you out of there and whisked off to safety

4:37 am

I think I'd like him too. But I would speak my mind :D

4:38 am

I've tried speaking to his physician but he pays no attention to me

4:38 am

corn

4:38 am

BBS need to catch up with husband just home

4:38 am

bfn lyn and have a nice evening chatting about Shiele :)

4:39 am

I had better go and test the waters before I give away another word. Thank you all for your support; it is very helpful

4:39 am

{{everybody}}

4:39 am

((HUGS)) Ruby

4:39 am

cheerio, ruby, God go with u

4:39 am

bye rubyfoo, think of lyn's advice, be good for yourself.

4:40 am

to yourself. well whatever, you know what I mean.

4:45 am

is it just me or does anyone else feel dreadful for ruby and even more dreadful now that she's left chat?

4:46 am

no I guess we all do in some degree, gort. It is tough to have an aggressive husband with beginning alzheimer. Especially when you have low self esteem.

4:47 am

i can only imagine. Ruuuubbbyyy come back, we'll talk about fluffy bunnies and any old idle crap u want

4:48 am

perhaps I should visit France for a week or so. If only for moral support.

4:48 am

really? u would do that?

4:48 am

I might. I am in the netherlands, it is not that far.

4:49 am

awesome. u rock sprite....hard

4:50 am

I, Empress Gortmold of Babblemania, hereby commission thee, Sprite of Babblington, to go forth and ministery mightily unto RubyFoo

4:50 am

lol I have been jealous of the babble get-togethers in the VS and UK all the time, so this would be a bit of revenge ;)

4:50 am

*bows to the Will of the Mpress*

4:50 am

well more power to u sprite, i think that's a brilliant idea

4:51 am

hey, i visited you

4:53 am

on a more mundane note, may i please have a clue for the le5/10?

4:53 am

le5 rhymes with pl of male organs

4:54 am

ahhh, we've come full circle, we're back to fluffy balls

4:54 am

gort used a woooooord

4:55 am

oooh i did too, i wonder what sundry punishments shall befall me

4:55 am

you sure did, hursh! A good memory :)

4:56 am

i mocked you, isn't that punishment ?

4:56 am

fireflies! I must take my leave of thee. Bye all, be well and whole :)

4:56 am

lienie? leiner? lenii? hmmm i may regret saying this, but i'm having trouble with those male organs

4:56 am

bye sprite

4:57 am

cheerio sprite, good "talking" to u, all the best for your mission of mercy and sweet revenge

4:57 am

lol gort :D le + the Loch monster, minus last letter

4:57 am

ahhhh thank u sprite, got it, thanks hursh

4:58 am

and now you know the plural for the male organ.

4:58 am

right, those kiddies aren't gonna put themselves to bed, so nighty night and cheerio

4:59 am

right on hursh, now i just have to drop it casually into everyday conversation for more picturesque speech

4:59 am

nighty night for real this time

5:02 am

i need PPPORCCCCCCCH. PORCH for short.

5:23 am

good morning from VA - is this puzzle a lot trickier than i thought, or do i need more coffee?

5:24 am

5:50 am

morning all

6:04 am

Morning Kalia.

6:14 am

Good morning all.

6:15 am

Slow start on the puzzle today. Is it as tough as it looks?

6:15 am

Six E's, what can I say?

6:21 am

try not to resort to lickity's clues until at least half way done, but doubt I'll make that today! Ugh

evening again all :))

6:22 am

hello mrp - seems to be quiet here today

hi mabook!! smal grids bring small crowds, cause they finish them quick

the UK crowd will be here soon enough

6:24 am

true, although today seems to be a doozy! May take me all day!

it is a very tough grid!! I am not finding this one 'comfortable' at all!!

6:26 am

you are right, mrp...this grid is an awkward one...and i sure dont see 26 c words!

Legend I can't stress enough how much I hate F, C, K and U's

6:38 am

6:39 am

omg... he loves the fifa games on playstation.. chelsea(?) fav team

6:40 am

Hiya all

chelsea are top 4.... always

6:40 am

lol.. i will tell him i know a ref....

6:40 am

And they will always be MY team!!!!!

I like the underdogs like Everton and Newcastle... now that Queens Park are in the mix, am very happy!!

6:41 am

Lamps and the Drog 4 Eva!!!!!

QPR, he will know them

6:41 am

i bought him a jacket for xmas.. he gets many compliments on it.. black with yellow stripe.

hi movie!! :) **hugs**

I watch every match... am an avid fan too

6:42 am

never at a loss for gifts.. shop the world soccer site.

6:42 am

Can't wait to see how the Blues fare under their new manager

too right movieman... i think they will do darn well

6:44 am

He's another Portuguese, just like Mourinho

6:45 am

And he's the same age as me

6:45 am

(((Ivesy))) so glad to hear about your son.

6:46 am

ty molly.. .. if anyone ever heard the song by rascal flatts, i wont let go.. thats us..

ooooh, want a couple of things from the world soccer site!! do they really deliver??

6:46 am

yes mrp... great to do business with.

well, will be ordering for my boy!!

6:48 am

i dont think u will be disappointed.. bought my niece a tshirt from there... she is a soccer player. she loved it

cool! will go look very shortly

6:49 am

That's a sweet theme song for you two to have Ivesy. I'm sure your love is a big part of what's gotten him where he is.

6:50 am

ty.. we have had our ups and downs. but its me and him since he was 8... i would like to kick his fathers ass for giving up on him.. any help with it ?? lol

6:51 am

i guess we look at it different.. to him , his son is a disappointment.. to me, he is a winner for facing it headon

I have an enormous steel cap boot that would help??

6:52 am

oh yes oh yes!!..

does his dad think there is something wrong with him???

6:53 am

yes... mr p.. thinks he is a failure.. sad part is, father is a former drug enforcement agent.. should understand and should have tried to help.

cause if so, he is f'ed up to the hilt himself and can't face himself either. what a coward!! loser!! deadbeat!!

6:54 am

my sentiments exactly

oh, Mr I Am Mr Right... Just didn't know his name was Always huh??

6:56 am

lol... pushes his sermons on him.. which is the wrong thing to do.. u dont tella drug addict to stop., thats its wrong. they know they have to stop.. duhhh

Hunny, not even therapy helps those twats. He will live his life out a lonely, delusional man... you taking your son under your wing will give him soaring heights and let him acheive his goals

6:56 am

His Dad is the one who has lost in this scenario Ivesy. You and your son are the big winners. Good for you.

you NEVER give up on your son... I have a mother who did that, and she is the loser in the end

she lost her soul, her dignity, her everything, all for 'saving her face'

6:58 am

ty , i try.. just breaks my heart that he gave up on his son.. deep down, i know that is part of the whole problem.. asks himself why is my father like this.no matter how old they get., it still hurts them

6:59 am

i will never give up.. i know he can start using at anytime again... been thru it before. but his time, he seems determined.. not only that, he is bi polar too

oh man!! hope he is getting all the right help sweetie!!

he just has to realise he is better than the drugs and worth the man he is, no matter what

7:01 am

a mother of a recovering drug addict never looks beyond the day in front of them. i have learned that.. and he is getting great help from the vets.hospital.. that is who helped him get clean.

thank god for good mentors

7:02 am

ivesy, do you have a support group for yourself?

7:02 am

i have two very close friends that listen , hug, cry with me. and kick my butt when i need it annie

7:03 am

youre lucky, ivesy

7:03 am

and i read , read read.. everything out there on the subject..

excellent ivesy... feel for you babe **hugs**

7:04 am

ty all.. i needed to get this off my mind today.. but its a good day!

7:05 am

Dual diagnosis is doubley

7:05 am

would it help also to look into something like Al-Anon. That is for parents and partners of alcholics, maybe there is one for parents of recovering addicts too.

7:05 am

Dual diagnosis is doubly hard to deal with. Just goes to show how hard he's worked.

7:05 am

Its a wonderful day....a first year anniversary. God bless you and your son.

he has worked darn hard to get off drugs and keep taking his meds

he is accepting his gamble

7:05 am

i have looked around here, but small place i live in.. mostly just for the addicts themselves

amen annie

7:06 am

Hey Ivesy, we're here to listen and to celebrate milestones. I love hearing happy news.

7:06 am

ty .. i feel blessed in spite of it all.. he is healthy, clean and sober.. ..

7:07 am

me too molly!!

7:07 am

Ivesy, there are a couple of on line forums for loved ones. If that is something that would be helpful.

and you luv him and he know it... blessed be

7:09 am

i am on a few online sites for both they are a great help

I suppose you instantly put those pounds straight into that bank account as you were so shattered

7:49 am

I have a few cr's. Cr5/12: fishing tackle.

Are you fing serious River?

7:50 am

I that one too but it doesnt work into a 7

7:50 am

lol Herin, I sent it to him and asked how he got to London so quick

7:50 am

The cr4 is short for alligator

7:50 am

yes and they were so scared they bought into it...

7:50 am

happened 1 year ago

7:50 am

thans Bzz

7:51 am

crocier

7:51 am

I hope they called you first River

7:51 am

That is a common scam, Mom. Elderly folks are usually the victims. Being told their grandchild is in jail and needs bail money is popular. They prey on people who they think don't have cell phones.

7:51 am

sorry

I am sorry to sound mean but they deserved to be scammed. What they didn't pick up a sodding phone and call him?

7:51 am

wish it was a word Buttonman

7:52 am

they are in their 80's and not well - - just didnt get it

7:52 am

they were told he would be hurt if they didnt do it immediately

7:52 am

sorry to hear that River.

7:52 am

Add a vowel to the cr4 for the 5

7:53 am

cr6/7 nativity scene

Well if they were so scared why didn't they call the police? I just don't understand

7:53 am

and add 2 more letters for the 7!

7:53 am

I felt bad for them....

7:53 am

((((Une)))) how are? Have you had enough of this weather?

My b.fs grandmother is in her 80s and she is still unscammable

I do feel bad for them River but if I felt my child was in danger I would call the police

7:54 am

hey, mom -- yeah, tired of sweltering but summer's barely begun -- not my fave season! :-)

7:54 am

your lucky - my inlaws are both sick and just gullible I guess

7:54 am

crossy won the british lottery 6 times last week:)

7:54 am

(((Crossy))) morning

7:54 am

yay crossy

7:55 am

((MOM)))

7:55 am

herin, that's a scam that's been around a looong time -- must work, 'cause they keep doing it -- really sad for the victims

7:55 am

and goodmorning to you and Une

7:55 am

crossy! thought about you yesterday --saw an ad for a bacon-flavored bubble blower

7:55 am

hey river

7:55 am

lol. You wish, Crossy! People do still fall for that one. Even though they may never have played the British Lottery. That's a major DUH.

7:55 am

they often hack the person's own email account to send the message requesting help, so it looks more realistic.

7:56 am

sends Une the $1,870 British pounds I didn't send the scammers so she can pay on her electric bill for the a/c

7:56 am

cute thing was the scammer chose an address 2 blocks from my uncle.so i just asked him to trott on over and get it for me lol

arrrr I am giving the F up on this internet. Stupid bloody thing.

7:56 am

time for breakfast - see you all in a bit...

7:57 am

my AC died a couple of years ago -- loooove the new unit! :-)

We have a scammer alert website here. It is constantly updated and the elderly are told often about it

7:57 am

later, river

Later River.

I am watching Dirty Dancing.

7:59 am

back in a bit *poof*

8:01 am

bye Une

8:01 am

bye River

8:01 am

I just feel like I have offended everyone

8:02 am

Hi Mr Pres

8:09 am

Got the z's and the v's. I've accomplished that much. Back later to finish the remaining 26. *POOF*

ok, back from the 'serious' chat with daughter.... wow, school hasn't changed since I was there!!

see ya judi :)

Mr Pres I am watching How clean is your House. Think I am going to yak.

Mr Pres Do I need to have a word or 10 at them if your kid is being bullied?

8:09 am

hi mom, hi herin.

8:09 am

hiya MrP!

hi eva :) **hugs**

8:10 am

hi, mrp!!!

hi usue!! :) **hugs**

8:11 am

hows everything, MrP? recovery, prick...all of it?

how is everyone tonight??

Watching tv and being full from being out for dinner tonight and baby sitting today.

kid isn't being bullied, just picked on for being beautiful, intelligent and not taking crap

8:12 am

doing ok, mrp, how are you?

and what is with 'death stares' from biyatches?? seems to be very effective in hurting girls

my flu is dying!! yayayayaya!!!!

I still say that it has to do with parents because you know their little shits never do anything wrong

luv babysitting!! I need another baby!!

8:14 am

wow. i just got the 8 based on a total guess. never thought that was an ACTUAL word...

When I was in year 9 or 10 I got jumped on the way home by a class bully. My dad actually went to their house and yelled at him and the parent. Go my dad

infern, you are right... when you have a kid, be a tough parent and watch for everything

Also admit your kid has done the wrong thing and help them fix it.

8:14 am

yay for mrp and the dying flu!!

yes infern, they have to own their mistakes

8:15 am

I didn't expect it to get harder as he got older (the kid, that is)...

on ya eva!! i find 8's the hardest to get

My friend is going overseas on friday with her and her partner and their17 month old. They have booked a private tour because ''no one should have their holiday spoiled by someone else's kid

the smaller they are, the smaller the problems. The bigger they are..... the bigger the problems

8:16 am

Good morning!

hi car :) **hugs**

8:16 am

morning, car!

HI Car

8:17 am

nice if they can afford it, herin

Sue it wasn't a matter of cost it was a matter of not ruining someone else's trip.

8:18 am

I started traveling with my son when he was 3 months old (out of necessity) - he was a real trooper, and charmed everybody everywhere we went (which was fortunate because I was traveling for work and was a single mom)

8:18 am

Hi everyone!

The kid is the one I baby sat today. She is the energizer bunny. Poor mother had me over today doing 'day shift' and a friend tonight doing 'night shift' just so she could clean and pack as they are going away for 6 weeks

17 month old is being a little sh**! time to put on on the airbreaks with that one!

You really can't do much when a kid doesn't sleep and you work from home

8:21 am

<---- story of my life with Zack!!!!

Mr Pres no she is a lovely kid. She is just the energizer bunny. She doesn't sleep like most kids. Himself's brother slept for little time they had shifts for him

O and Mr Pres I have to tell you the sweetest thing about my other friends kid who has Aspergers

8:22 am

I probably had my son in places where he really didn't belong but he was always good so was able to get away with it (slept well, didn't cry) although he was also curious and energetic (when awake)

oh of course she is a luvly kid! they all are! Just has to have a routine in place and not let her get away with 'energizer bunny' stage

8:22 am

Morning everyone

what is that infern??

hi bob :)

8:23 am

Hi Mr. Bob!

8:23 am

hi, mr bob!

My friends kitty died and she told her son. Son who is about 9 said ''it is ok mummy we can get a new kitty'' He just didn't understand the concept the kitty was gone and not coming back. He was told well kitty is gone and can't be replaced and that it is ok to feel sad about kitty being gone. She taught him grief and compassion it was rather sweet

that is wonderful infern... often aspie kids don't get it until a few days later

Hi Mr Bob. Sue need kids like this on all air planes

he already had grief and compassion, just didn't know how to identify it... good mum she is

He was really upset that the kitty was gone. This kid is so smart. He is a sweet kid.

8:25 am

Stats please for the left hand E?

8:26 am

el4/4

8:26 am

Slap! TY Jess!

8:26 am

yw

Hi jess

8:26 am

hi herin and everyone :)

8:27 am

Car, for some reason, I couldn't see that one earlier either. Maybe because it goes up.

hi jess :) **hugs**

8:27 am

Morning Molly! Oh well...more coffee!

8:27 am

hi, jess and molly!

8:28 am

And good morning Jess!

looks like Federer is giving Tsonga a good beating in the Wimbeldon Open

8:28 am

Morning everyone

8:28 am

I don't think I like this grid.

8:29 am

hi all - 18 left for me - and need to head off to work - be back at lunch - see you all later!

8:29 am

im with you there, car. this grid is NOT my bff.

ok, got through the z's, w's and v's... thought they would be hard, but they are just jumbled stupidlike

8:29 am

Bye Jess!

bye jess have a good day!

8:30 am

Good morning Eva! It is a nasty bugger. Too many vowels and N's for me!

8:30 am

Thanks! bye! *poof*

8:30 am

Any grid with 6 E's in it should be kicked to the curb.

8:31 am

yknow, growing up, if i received 6 E's, i woulda been grounded!

8:31 am

heck, i woulda been grounded for anything lower than a B.

I would like to know am I a bad person by saying that if someone's house is so filthy (constantly) that they have dirty nappies on the floor and a filthy cat litter tray that both kid and cat should be given to someone to care for them until the parents learn how to actually not be disgusting

8:31 am

LOL! Its the i's and n's that get me.

8:31 am

Ewwww.

8:32 am

That's pretty damn disgusting.

8:32 am

that is neglect and endangerment.

I am talking about a house that has been scientifically tested and had high amounts of bad nasty things in it

8:32 am

And no, you are not a bad person for thinking that. Those people are being irresponsible to their child, their pet and themselves.

no infern.... My daughter has a friend who lives with no sheets on her mattress (completely blood stained), filthy carpets and no place to walk... and morphine patches left if the shower, only about a 10cm radius to stand in the shower that is clean.

8:33 am

agreed, molly - herin, why are you involved with this house?

No and No. I am watching and being crossed out by house clean is your house.

8:34 am

Whew!

grossed out. OK they just admitted to 5 years of not cleaning this house.

MR Pres is DOCs aware of this?

8:35 am

Are the O's fish?

8:35 am

ah. don't think that is a show I would care to watch. Not that my house is perfect by any means but the sinks, showers, and stoves are clean.

8:36 am

no, they are weird, car

8:36 am

and I have to get on with it, bbl

8:36 am

Bye sue!

Have a good day Sue

8:37 am

Clue please for the O's and the center N?

no infern... mother has brain cancer and father works all the time... the girl is 13 and totally on her own planet

Well does the mother have any help?

very little

Does she want help?

well...no. I have never been invited into her house because of the state of it... and I understand the morphine state... they are both on welfare, but HE needs to step up and isn't

her daughter 'runs away' to friends and other family often

Ok Well Cancer Council NSW offer vollunteers that home help

Here: http://www.cancercouncil.com.au/editor ial.asp?pageid=1081 Sorry no tiny url and cant get exact area

Can I ask is this terminal?

well, yes... she is talking of dying all the time

http://www.cancercouncil.com.au/ Here.

8:44 am

Have to run. Have a great day all.

see ya car!

Can I say the husband has probably man caved in order to deal with everything. It is the daughter I worry about. It seems the mother just doesn't now what to do. I mean you going into two states : roll over and give up and die or fight it all the way.

Bye Car

Also can I add that the school is breaking their duty of care to the student by not reporting this to DOCs

indeed infern. such a shame on the young one

they know at the school that I take care of her a lot

Well the school should damn well step up. It is total b.s that no one is helping. And I don't mean you lovey I mean those that are professionals

pardon me

no pardon necessary...

hello all. looks like a hot convo

i have to sleep, falling asleep on the j key!! night all **hugs**

HI Overlass.

Mr Pres can you please when you are not falling asleep have a look at that website I put up

10:09 am

hello everybody

10:09 am

hi, ruby!

10:12 am

hi sue, how are you doing?

10:12 am

((RUBY))

10:12 am

{{crossy}}

10:14 am

pi 6/7 what you do with a pie crust before you slip it in da oven

10:15 am

to the top of the crust that is

10:15 am

nice clue, crossy!

10:15 am

or to sausage so it doesn't explose

10:15 am

hi, ruby, didn't sleep much last night but am otherwise ok

10:16 am

have to go give a talk at the local Kiwanis at noon so will be leaving shortly to get ready

10:16 am

aaah, sleep.....big problem Do you have any xanax?

10:16 am

and thx for pointing out that the pi6 has a plural

10:16 am

mmmmm sausages....

10:16 am

no, I don't have any but am considering asking for some (or something like it) - have used ambien in the past with some success although it is no panacea

10:17 am

I think xanax has fewer side effects; it just takes care of the middle-of-the-night anxiety

10:17 am

Crossy, I saw an ad for this place in Chicago and thought of you - Paddy Long's Beer and Bacon, http://www.paddylongs.com/

10:18 am

good to know, ruby, I will ask the doc about it

10:18 am

and since you've not taken it before, probably .25 would help you and have no morning effects

10:18 am

tbh ruby, u never worry bout conventional sleep anymore,i sleep more like a cat last few years,hour here,20 min there,up at 3 am,back at four for an hour or so,up at 5:30..real sleep does not exist forme anymore

10:19 am

mmm bacon+ beer....

10:19 am

i

10:19 am

husband is like that; he takes naps and then complains that I sleep too much (8 hrs is too much?)

10:20 am

they have something called a bacon bomb, 5 pounds of ground sausage wrapped in bacon - you can get a slice as a burger or (this being the US) try to eat the whole thing

10:20 am

i watch my wife and or son sleep 4 hours at a streach and am amazed

10:20 am

anyway I have to go now, see you all this afternoon!!

10:20 am

and then you just slither away in the grease?

10:21 am

sue,you have not lived till you take actual hickory smoked bacon and grind yp a pind of it and make actual bacon burgers lol

10:22 am

I would love all that, especially with an egg on top

10:22 am

I secretly weigh 400 lbs....heheh

10:22 am

now you are talking ruby!..do not forget the slice of cheddar

10:22 am

oh yes!

10:23 am

10:26 am

10:27 am

actually my sweet potato frittes are not bad for you,i use but a single tbs of virgin olive oil

10:27 am

i have notruby..sound delish

10:28 am

you shred the tater,add egg and onion right?

10:28 am

my potato pancakes are poison; I cook them in butter -- love that vitamin A

10:28 am

egg and some flour, but not onion. I'll try that

10:28 am

mmmm butter

10:29 am

for regular potato pancakes, I add onion, egg and fresh garlic, learned that from a Czech friend

10:29 am

how much flour vs potato?

10:30 am

just a little flour

10:30 am

they hold together better, but I don't measure

10:30 am

i was at the farm the other day and got a flat of brown double yolkers...mmmm

10:30 am

yesterday, I made an omelet (actually more like scrambled eggs) with leftover home fries and an onion fried in butter

10:31 am

Italian version - breadcrumbs instead of flour, romano cheese, garlic, parsley egg

10:31 am

we only get double yolks in February

10:31 am

we get themwhen the farm gets new layers

10:31 am

that sounds better than mine, hootowl

10:31 am

and Ore-ida now has frozen sweet potato fries - not bad!

10:34 am

so does mc cain

10:34 am

but i like to make my own fries and frittes

10:38 am

if i have time i like to blanch them first and keep them in the fridge with a cloth over them till needed

10:42 am

Just checking if my flag will appear

10:42 am

Yay

10:43 am

Not meant to be better - just different. It's like pizza, every country has their own version

10:44 am

If you has the kitchen I have croosy, you'd understand why I prefer the oven. Rentals here are lower than slums

10:45 am

sorry crossy

10:45 am

i give up, can't spell, can't type, I'm gone

10:48 am

11:24 am

11:24 am

I am delaying working on my resume...

11:24 am

Oh, the goose.

11:26 am

11:26 am

Speaking of goose, going to 4 th July party in France on mon , what can I bring???

11:27 am

now I have ALL the N words except the one from the fourth row down...

11:27 am

Yeah, it's the plural of the number.

11:27 am

not sure, concepta -- popular U.S. treats for the 4th are watermelon, rootbeer floats, barbeque anything...

11:27 am

oh gee. thanks for the number fish, Molly! :-D

11:28 am

and beer, of course --

11:28 am

I can't figure out where they come from once I've gotten them. Concepta...APPLE PIE!!!

No, just say you did. : P

11:28 am

11:29 am

Can I add my own touch and do baileys cheesecake cos I can't bake

11:29 am

11:29 am

I would certainly welcome that at a party I was throwing.

11:29 am

mmmmm. *stands in line behind sadie*

11:30 am

*Makes note to invite Concepta to my next shindig*

11:30 am

New pal I only met a few weeks ago but she is very welcoming and as my family are all visiting she has invited them too.....could be my last invite..

11:30 am

Last invite??

11:30 am

well, as I recall irish families can be pretty big, right concepta?

11:31 am

They won't ask me again ha ha I'll bring 2 cakes

11:33 am

We are going to make a cheesecake for my parents' anniversary. It's a good choice. If I have enough strawberries in my garden we'll use those, otherwise it will have to come from the local berry farm

11:34 am

Mmm, cheesecake with fresh berries.

11:34 am

Yummy

11:35 am

:-D glad you approve!

11:37 am

okay, past halfway. Off to work on the resume and such. *sigh* I HATE thinking about work! LOL *poof*

11:47 am

Oh, just getting on and seeing cheesecake in my future!!

11:47 am

revising grocery list to include cheesecake fixins

11:48 am

oh no, ruined surprise.

11:48 am

Avec les fraises!!!

11:49 am

I don't think Stid would have posted it here if it were a surprise.

11:49 am

and don't forget the slap-ons, like ketsup, pickle relish, mustard!!!!

11:50 am

For cheesecake??? : O

11:53 am

ew?????

12:30 pm

eeeewww is right! hello everybody

12:36 pm

my fraises are being eaten by slugs, speaking of eeewwww

12:39 pm

Hi all, my long haired cat comes in with slugs in his fur. Lots of fun to roll over onto a slug in bed....

12:40 pm

oh no! that's awful

12:40 pm

Yes, it is!

12:41 pm

hello ruby

12:41 pm

hello fuzzy

12:41 pm

The cat is entertaining me right now by playing with the little stick thing that opens and closes the blinds

12:41 pm

Hello sadie

12:42 pm

my cat brings in lizards. she was in a fight with my shoe one afternoon. guess what i found in the shoe

12:42 pm

cats amuse so easy lol

12:42 pm

hello sadie

12:42 pm

as do we humans

12:42 pm

was it a lizard?

12:42 pm

my dogs aren't playful :(

12:43 pm

just the tail.still twitching.

12:43 pm

fortunately, they don't climb on the furniture as they are very long-haired

12:43 pm

did she eat the rest?

12:43 pm

oh no, I think that would be more than I could handle

12:44 pm

Ruby, the female, spends hours watching the birds on the feeder, like dog TV

12:44 pm

idk, could be still hiding some where. they turn up in the bath tub when they get thirsty

12:44 pm

ruby, does she try and claw the screens to get out at the birds?

12:45 pm

no, she loves them and watches. A neighbor cat comes, hunting the birds I guess, and Ruby just ignores her

12:45 pm

what kind of dog is Ruby? She is very pretty.

12:46 pm

I had a cat who would throw herself against the glass patio doors, time and again, trying to get at the birds. She'd plan her attack, tail twitching, and then BOOM

12:46 pm

the black one is Max and the brown one is Ruby. They're lovely, gentle chow chows

12:47 pm

Our cat would do that as a kitten, but now that it is summer and the windows are open, we have had to let him out, otherwise we wouldn't have any screens left.

12:47 pm

does you cat let you groom her, bunny?

12:47 pm

your*

12:47 pm

My husband is the groomer, and he rolls over on his back to get combed.

12:48 pm

(the cat, not my husband!)

12:48 pm

your husband or the cat? hahah

12:48 pm

snap

12:48 pm

our cat thinks it is a dog and loves to play fetch.

12:49 pm

good night everybody; I give up with 43 to go

12:49 pm

good night Ruby!

12:49 pm

that is very cute. If you try to play fetch with a chow chow, he just thinks "You want me to do what?"

12:50 pm

I would think a chow would like to play

12:51 pm

pi 5/14?

12:52 pm

don't have that one, otherwise I'd try to help

12:52 pm

that's okay taz, thanks anyway!

12:52 pm

would you like a pi5/14 of cake?

12:53 pm

ty jess :)

12:53 pm

yw

12:53 pm

Thanks Jess, I had the plural, missed the singular. Fireworks

12:53 pm

and now before i head to work, i give you crossys tidbit of the day!

12:54 pm

The only mammals that don’t have an umbilical scar, or “belly button,” are the platypus and echidna. Unlike the rest of us mammalians, these two species lay eggs.

12:54 pm

wtg fuzzy

12:54 pm

tc everyone and happy babbling! poink!

12:54 pm

very interesting crossy!

12:54 pm

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

bye crossy

12:56 pm

cr 7/40?

12:57 pm

Hi pida, I just read your profile and would like to offer my condolences.

12:57 pm

Think of where baby Jesus lay, singular and plural

12:58 pm

hmmm, maybe that is what it is called in the nativity scene

12:59 pm

Did that help?

1:00 pm

no but I just got the cr 6/21 & the cr 7/32 lol

1:01 pm

okay, let me think harder

1:02 pm

1:03 pm

Can no longer procrastinate, off to clean the bathrooms. Ugh!

1:11 pm

need help with the first 3 o's!

1:13 pm

ok, i'm out of here with 5 left!

1:22 pm

hey all, finished re-writing my resume (ugh) and taking a short break. Need to go in to town later to see if certain people will be references for me... *sigh*

1:25 pm

good luck!

1:26 pm

how's the day going, sadie?

1:27 pm

morning stid]

1:27 pm

I think the roofers are almost done -- they took a long break a little while ago, and about 15 minutes ago the cover to one of the kitchen light fixtures fell down (the kind that fixes with little screws on teh side. It didn't break luckily... PIDA!!!!!

1:27 pm

*faints, recovers, and offers choclits*

1:28 pm

oh pida, I just read your profile. I am so very sad.

1:29 pm

ty, I know you are one of the ones that kept her in your prayers. She was msree on Babble....

1:29 pm

oh, I knew msree, but didn't know she was your daughter. ((hugs))

1:29 pm

and that's one of the things I miss most about her, playing games

1:29 pm

the whole master's program took so much of my time and energy that I am so far behind on the news from our babble community

1:30 pm

pida, sorry for your loss

1:30 pm

I love it when my mother is online when I am, too. It's nice to have those extra connections.

1:30 pm

1:32 pm

I'm at 54, but these allergies are making me want to take a nap.

1:34 pm

yuck. allergies. yuck. -- I have learned that if I use the inhaler I was given a couple weeks ago first thing in the morning I breathe a LOT easier most of the day... I guess it's because I stay well ahead of it then.

1:35 pm

aah just passed 50%...gonna lie down for a few minutes b4 baby wakes up.

1:35 pm

bye

1:35 pm

have a nice nap harry

1:38 pm

well, down to 31. pida, I am glad you were here.

1:38 pm

Pida, I'm so sorry to read about you losing your girl.

1:39 pm

LOL oh one of the roofers just let off a string of unfamiliar words... funny how both Spanish and English have similar-sounding "owie" words!

1:40 pm

I think he's okay, lots of pounding going on.

1:41 pm

thanx all

1:42 pm

3:33 pm

oh, ys the chog is movely slowly, thought it was just me

3:34 pm

I love these historical pieces about English aristocrats and their servants. The aristocrats had no idea of the concept of "weekend".

3:37 pm

ardilla, I have resized your picture for you - if you put in your email address, or send it to me at uusuzanne at yahoo dot com I will email it to you (if you have already done this ignore me of course)

3:53 pm

african queen?

3:54 pm

movies.

3:54 pm

3:54 pm

Whoosh...the clue went straight over my head.

3:55 pm

The African Queen is with Humphry Bogart and ..um... brain fart...oh yes.. Katherine Hepburn

3:55 pm

she has to pick them off his back

3:55 pm

in "Stand By Me" the one boy has one in his underwear and passes out

3:55 pm

ty m9

3:55 pm

ty m9

3:56 pm

yw

3:57 pm

thx, m9! (have seen the african queen but not stand by me...)

3:57 pm

and m9, just wondering if that is still the view from your window? :-)

3:57 pm

See "Stand By Me" it's a classic.

3:58 pm

oh ha.

3:58 pm

i almost thought the answer was tick

3:58 pm

<---- has added Stand by Me to the list of classic movies that must be seen, along with the list of classic books that must be read

3:59 pm

actually last weekend my dad and I watched Forrest Gump, and The Frisco Kid, neither of which I had ever seen and both of which I thoroughly enjoyed

3:59 pm

Well, maybe not classic in that sense. Just a very good film that reminds us all what it's like to be 12.

4:03 pm

with 70 left, i'm gonna crash

4:04 pm

*poof

4:05 pm

bye, ardilla!

4:05 pm

*unpoof good nite all *poof

4:07 pm

Hi again. I need clues for that 4th row, 3rd column N and the right O to achieve NBT. Could someone help please?

4:09 pm

n is a plural number (singular comes from the n to its northwest)

4:09 pm

Thanks, sue. What a fish!

4:09 pm

or6/21 = or + evergreen tree; leave off the final consonant for or5

4:09 pm

then change the central consonant for another or5

4:10 pm

ok, final vowel was what I meant, sigh

4:11 pm

then once you have the second or5, take that vowel that you removed from the first or6/21 that I clued and stick it in the middle of the new or5 for the final or6

4:11 pm

none of these are words I recognize, btw

4:11 pm

Thanks again, sue. And that first or is a fish too! <blushing about my poor eyesight today>

4:12 pm

first two (alphabetically) are chemicals and the last two are plants

4:12 pm

not a physics babblet among them :-)

4:15 pm

there are days that go by without a medical term too. :-)

4:16 pm

indeed :-)

4:16 pm

Remove vowel, change central consonant, stick vowel back on ....: O

4:16 pm

well, it made sense to me :-)

4:17 pm

I got them though, Molly. Sue's clues worked for me

4:18 pm

Good enough Nef.

4:20 pm

how are you 2 doing today?

4:21 pm

No complaints Nef. I'm in the way of being grateful for life's blessings.

4:21 pm

How about you?

4:23 pm

I'm hanging in there. :-) Things are better in some ways; still some rocky spots on the roadbut I'm optimistic about it all

4:24 pm

That's a good attitude Nef and a good attitude will get you where you want to be.

4:26 pm

That's how I feel about it too, Molly. Life's just full of surprises and we can deal with them one day at a time or it can overwhelm us

4:27 pm

(ie: My peach just juiced all over me! Ooops!)

4:28 pm

Sage advice I got once...stay grateful for what you have now while eagerly awaiting your abundance yet to come.

4:30 pm

I like that. I have a little green refrigerator magnet that I was given by a dear friend when I had to retire from the hospital. It's what I'm holding on my FB page. It says: " Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a Gift. Use it Wisely" I love that

4:33 pm

I am doing pretty well; gave a successful talk to the Kiwanis in a nearby town, and just finished the funding proposal for my Themed Learning Community.

4:34 pm

what was your talk on, Sue? and what is a Themed Learning Community?

4:34 pm

Global warming, nef

4:35 pm

and a themed learning community is a group of 2-3 courses for incoming freshmen that carry a common theme

4:35 pm

Mine is Calculus and Physics for Engineers - I am teaming with a math prof so students who have to take calculus and physics at the same time get the calculus in their math class before they need it in physics

afternoon peeps

4:36 pm

global warming is a serious talk! I don't even know what the Kiwanis do; I hope you had a good turnout and good discussion afterwards

4:36 pm

Hi GE

4:36 pm

hi GE

4:37 pm

hi, GE

hello hello hello

4:38 pm

Hello! Ah, The good old Three Stooges.

4:38 pm

the Kiwanis are local business people, nef, I was afraid they wouldn't be receptive but they were very interested

4:39 pm

I had to compress it all into about 20 minutes so left out a lot of stuff but gave them a lot of links so they can look things up for themselves, if they wish

4:40 pm

We've had a teen-aged volunteer who has come to our Center and cleaned every Wednesday after our clinics for the past 2 years. She's entering college this fall (I'll really miss her!); but she says her major is Math and she's planning on a minor in chemistry. I'm thrilled that girls aren't discouraged from those courses these days

4:40 pm

me too, nef!!

B.E.A.utiful day out there today....

4:41 pm

I was a real "freak" a million years ago when I was 16 and went to a Junior Engineers Summer Science Institute at a local college . . .

4:42 pm

My best friend and I were the first females to take Trig and Physics in our high school (back in the '60's); and the teachers really put us down all the time.

4:42 pm

It's gorgeous here too, GE. AND our A?C is now working! :-)

4:43 pm

Hooray for AC!!

4:43 pm

Don't let the Kiwanis fool you. They are hard core party people. : P

4:44 pm

Both Karin and I ended up with the highest scores on the national tests in trig, one guy beat me out in the physics exams. Karin and I look back and shake our heads at how sexist our school and community were

4:44 pm

impressive, nef!

4:45 pm

I took high school physics in the 1960s too, nef, and was the only girl in my class; the teacher was quite dismissive until I got 100% on the first test (which no one of any gender had done before); after that he was my best friend, and gave me all kinds of physics books that he had.

4:45 pm

<---- Out of her league with all the brainiacs. *hides*

4:46 pm

Karin is really, really smart; I was just bull-headed and wanted to prove the teachers wrong.

4:46 pm

took high school trig AND sat 1st chair trombone -- talk about geeky! LOL

4:47 pm

Due to spending 1 year in Montana during HS; I took trig, physics and chemistry all in my senior year. I wouldn't recommend that to most HS students

4:47 pm

yowser! LOL

4:48 pm

Unea played trombone! Do you still? (I played clarinet, but quit before I was 20. Lost my clarinet somewhere in college)

4:49 pm

played all 4 years of high school -- band leader needed trombonists and there were 4 of us girls who signed up!

4:49 pm

no, don't play now but LOVED it then -- marching band, concert band, pep band, jazz band :-)

4:50 pm

had to drive 75 miles to Nashville for slide oil LOL!!!

4:50 pm

I never was in band; too many scheduling conflicts. But I did enjoy playing.....

4:51 pm

Morning all. I LOVE American school marching bands - you all do them so well

4:51 pm

we had a really big band for such a small town and it was a BLAST!

4:51 pm

howdy, lynxxx :-)

4:52 pm

All 6 of us kids had to play an instrument and take piano lessons when we were young. The uncle who raised us had his own Old Time Dance Orchestra and played every weekend to help make ends meet.

4:52 pm

how cool, nef!

4:52 pm

(I also played piano for 9 years)

4:53 pm

probably not cool at the time but how great to look back on

4:53 pm

Unfortunately; he wasn't a blood relative and my siblings and I didn't have the natural talent that our cousin (and now her children) have inherited.

4:53 pm

hi all

4:53 pm

morning jmc!

4:53 pm

Hello JMC

4:53 pm

band helped me survive high school -- was NOT a football/cheerleader type!

4:54 pm

hi, jmc!

4:54 pm

at University of Texas all of the music majors (even violin and voice majors) are required to be members of the marching band

4:54 pm

hey, jmc :-)

4:54 pm

i did none of that stuff in HS

4:54 pm

I always begged my parents to let me learn a band instrument but had to stick with keyboards - piano and then organ

4:54 pm

<===did she survive HS?

4:55 pm

I was in choir as a senior in HS, and all 4 of us girls were the summer church choir since we lived less than a block from church (we sang for all the weddings and funerals back then)

4:55 pm

*Huddles in corner with JMC*

4:55 pm

nef, that's amazing . . .

4:55 pm

*passes molly her choice of a joint or a flask*

4:55 pm

They had none of that over here (in my day) nor the subjects you clever people took

4:56 pm

hey; that WAS our social life! Aunt and Uncle were very strict!! :-)

4:56 pm

sooo i am going over to boy's new house to celebrate his home ownership and need to at least make nbt

4:56 pm

jmc; I bet you weren't *that* bad!

4:56 pm

<===social life was books

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

lynxxx, what classes did ou take?

4:57 pm

no i wasn't bad until college then woboy!

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

i was glad he picked one he could move right into

4:58 pm

Congrats again to your son JMC. I love the wood work in that house.

4:58 pm

it needs work but nothing urgent

4:58 pm

i was soooo glad to see it not painted molly

4:58 pm

and under all that carpet is some really nice hard wood floors

4:58 pm

very genera Nef - though my last year of secondary school was 1964 (ish!)

4:59 pm

Is your son handy? Can he do the work that needs doing?

4:59 pm

haha i am younger than lynxxx

4:59 pm

he is very handy in fact which is why we did look at some fixer uppers

4:59 pm

babyface!

4:59 pm

lynxxx and I are the same age :-)

4:59 pm

<===class of 1969 a very hard year to live down

5:00 pm

Ah, those are the lucky folks. Wish I was more like that.

5:00 pm

Geez; just looked at the time! I had PLANS for the day!

5:00 pm

*grabs a lollipop from pb*

5:00 pm

1966 here

5:00 pm

same here, jmc ( college that is)

5:00 pm

my daddy was a machinist, granddaddy a carpenter and i taught my son

5:00 pm

*Warns JMC that it might be an "edible" *

5:01 pm

that was hs for me 1969

5:01 pm

how wonderful for your son!

5:01 pm

my mom was like that -- could fix ANYTHING

5:01 pm

??? what might be edible??? i wanted an edible lolliepop

5:01 pm

(not I)

5:01 pm

Wow - Our schools didn't even offer the classes you had in our High Schools - no wonder Americans were so advanced in their achievements

5:01 pm

he evens tells his friends how much he learned from me

5:02 pm

good thing too since his dad was the worst handyman ever!

5:02 pm

"Edibles" are lollipops and candies laced with dope.

5:02 pm

what classes are you talking about lynxxx

5:02 pm

ah I have never heard that term before molly ty i love learning new druggy terms

5:03 pm

Really Molly? I've never heard that term used like that before

5:03 pm

the stuff that Une and nef took - physics etc

5:03 pm

<--- HS class of 1968 here...

5:03 pm

5:05 pm

Notice how the song still rhymes. Damn.

5:05 pm

<--- is as usual behind the times

5:05 pm

aint no use to wonder why whooopee we'er all gonna die!

5:05 pm

We are all about the same age! (I always thought that Unea was half her age for some reason!)

5:05 pm

1967 maybe?

5:05 pm

sounds about right

5:05 pm

:-D

5:05 pm

yeah for a while i tweeked it to iraqiland

5:06 pm

Neener, neener, I am ten years y'alls junior. No wonder I know the druggie terms.

5:06 pm

Molly LOL

5:06 pm

i sang that as a fun song for my boy when he was a baby

5:06 pm

OMG jmc! LOL

5:07 pm

neener, neener i don't need to know the terms i just know the drugs :-P

5:07 pm

Well, *I* lead a very sheltered life back then! (straightening halo one more time)

5:07 pm

I sang Tennessee Waltz to my boy (not sure why)

5:07 pm

our state song, lynxxx! :-)

5:08 pm

And even more of a puzzlement, my two older kids are older than JMC's and Sue's. Whee!

5:08 pm

<---- was 38 when her son was born

5:08 pm

i also sang waltz across texas--love ernest tubb

5:08 pm

hi Sue!

5:08 pm

5:08 pm

<--was 35 when boy was born

5:09 pm

<<<<<was 30 when daughter was born

5:09 pm

just nicking off to see who Ernest Tubbs is

5:09 pm

i was 31 when i got married--to the guy who gave me my 13th marriage proposal

evening babblers!

evening babblers!

5:09 pm

Yes I did Nef. I was ten days shy of 21 when my oldest was born. And his younger brother came along 18 months later. They were 10 and 8 by the time I was 30.

5:09 pm

wow!!

5:09 pm

hi red

5:09 pm

I was 31 when my son was born

5:09 pm

hi, red!

5:09 pm

hi red! How are you doing?

5:09 pm

hey, red!

5:10 pm

okay i forgot to ask for clues so i make nbt :-(

5:10 pm

Hi Red.

5:10 pm

ASK, jmc!

i am doing OK. I had my follow up today. Off work for another month, which is crazy, but I suppose necessary.

5:10 pm

right column E?

5:10 pm

I got married at 24, 37, and 47. Maybe some day I will learn.

5:10 pm

behave yourself and get better red

5:11 pm

yes, take care of yourself, red!!

5:11 pm

Hi Red

5:11 pm

good grief, sue!!

5:11 pm

You better figure that out JMC or el**

hi lynxxx..

5:11 pm

*schedules wedding for uu at tenth anniversary*

5:11 pm

dogs begging to go out -- back in a mo *poof*

5:11 pm

well that was pathetic\

I feel like I am doing OK, small worry now, but feeling much better after the follow up.

5:11 pm

red, just think about the stress that work puts on your hip joint. The average nurse walks 5-7 miles a shift and lifts over 1500 pounds in a shift too.

5:11 pm

you mean the e up at the top right, jmc? I have ec4/6 and its plural

5:12 pm

sounds good, red

Yeah, he was like, only lgiht duty and we dont have light duty at our hospital.

5:12 pm

I pondered over it for a while JMC. Then it jumped right out and smacked me with it's scales.

5:12 pm

clue for the i?

5:13 pm

that makes me feel better molly

5:13 pm

how tall are you jmc?

5:13 pm

not outer, jmc

5:13 pm

1/12 of a foot, jmc

5:13 pm

You trim them off your butt when you diet.

5:14 pm

clearly i am blind today

5:15 pm

as long as i am embarrassing myself today: center column N?

5:15 pm

It's all those damn E's.

5:15 pm

The goose!!!

5:15 pm

plural number, jmc

5:16 pm

ty uu

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

Right hand O?

5:16 pm

5:43 pm

hey all!

5:43 pm

Hello Stid

5:43 pm

hey again molly! *tosses choclits in molly's direction*

5:44 pm

*Happily eats choclits*

5:45 pm

down to 29. it's slow going!

5:46 pm

my roof is done... new skylight and all!!!!

Hi stid! and other babblers--

5:47 pm

including breaks, it took them about 7 1/2 hours once they started. AND they didn't trample any of my plants! AND tomorrow I don't have to stay home! AND Friday Mother and I are going to IKEA...

5:47 pm

Skylights are great. I would love to have one over my bed.

Stid--I love IKEA

5:47 pm

mcurl!!! are you up for coffee toward the end of next week?

5:47 pm

I have two -- both leaked... and are now replaced.

5:48 pm

I love IKEA so much that I only allow myself to go once every year or two... *grin*

That might be doable--still in new mexico but heading home tomorrow morning.

5:48 pm

yes, I saw your fb post (and replied to it)

5:49 pm

if not, then perhaps some time the week after?

when we moved into the new house we went to IKEA to get all our living room furniture; I love that place but it is easy to overspend

my computer is sick; got a virus before we left I think and it went viral after we got here. I'm using son's computer

5:50 pm

but I love the skylights -- the first 6 months we were here I would go past my office or kitchen and reach in to "turn off the lights" -- it is lovely to have better light, especially in the middle of winter

I love the skylight I have in my kitchen.

5:50 pm

oh oh mcurl -- I will fb you my phone #s so you can write them down before you leave...

5:50 pm

I hate having sick computers.

5:52 pm

okay, numbers sent

I have your cell number in my phone. I'll just be without a computer on the way home. Once I get back to "town" my computer guy will take my laptop but I'll have my desktop so not to bad. Thank you for the numbers; I'll check FB in a bit.

5:54 pm

oh, okay :-D glad you have more than one, also. We wouldn't survive I think with only one at home -- I keep trying to get the younger stidkid to use HIS computer instead of mine, but he prefers to use his computer as a clothing tree *sigh*

I was seriously looking at an android phone before we left but just couldn't bring myself to taking the jump; now wish I had because I could have used it on the road instead! Oh well, live and learn LOL

5:57 pm

I like my android a lot -- it's over two years old, and I don't want to replace it. so trying to nurse it along. The newer ones don't have some of the features I really like on the G1

5:58 pm

Oh my! Stidkid should be glad I'm not his Mom. I would whisk that computer right out of his room if there were clothes hanging all over it, and I was losing computer time because of that.

6:00 pm

actually, the better solution is to restrict access to MY computer. Which will happen if he doesn't get his act together by the end of the weekend... he wants to clean his room anyway, so it's like frosting rather than a carrot.

Ithink I would remove the clothing tree computer as well :-) or set my computer up with a password so that no one can access it except me (which I did by the way). My daughter has one of the first android phones out on the market and she can't wait to replace it--it has developed a mind of it's own!

6:03 pm

evening all! C's conquered

6:03 pm

hey dan!

6:03 pm

new baby2bit photo in her ladybug dress I am trying to get off my phone. Will post to profile later

6:05 pm

Aw, looking forward to baby 2BitLadybug.

6:06 pm

me too, dan! *encouraging mama look*

6:06 pm

stupid technology

6:07 pm

*stern mama look at technology*

6:07 pm

I want to write a story about how everyone wakes up one day and suddenly there are no cell phones. I think mass panic would ensue. I am mystified at why people are so attached to their cell phones.

I agree Molly; my kids give me a bad time because I refuse to give up my land line at home and go strictly cell phone. One of these days, sorry to say, I'll be able to prove why!

6:09 pm

molly, I got my first cell phone when I was driving our elder son to and from kindergarten (out of district) along a long stretch of sporadically inhabited rural highway in an area with a "meth problem" -- being rural, it's a boon (when we can get a signal)

I also got my first cell phone because of the amount of time I was on the road between work, sports, and other activities. It has been a blessing many times.

6:10 pm

the other advantage can be that you can have a phone number that is not tied directly to a location, so for people who have concerns about personal security (single women living alone, for example) a cell phone can allow them to be contacted by prospective employers without worrying about being physically located by potential stalkers.

6:11 pm

I use my cell phone for calls only, and important ones, not chit chat ones. I renewed my cell phone package today and the guy looked at me like I was from Mars when I said I didn't need text ability. McCurl, I still have a land line too.

6:13 pm

Good Lord! Sending our resumes can lead to potential stalkers??

6:13 pm

I text the younger stidkid when he is in school -- texts don't ring; he knows I am trying to contact him and can call me back when it's allowed.

many years ago my parents were taking off on a trip with travel trailer; I insisted they take my pre-paid cell (what I had at that time). They broke down in the middle of nowhere and as soon as they got home they asked my sister to take them to get their own cell which they used on the road but now use it for long distance calls from home.

6:14 pm

yes, molly, it's part of the reason our family maintains a mailing address in town... we have an unlisted phone number for the house and use cell phones or tom's work # for most professional contact numbers

6:14 pm

See, in our schools, cell phones are supposed to be turned off during school hours. They aren't and that is not enforced, therefore, the kids are all just texting. Which defeats the purpose of "turn your cell phones off".

I'm glad my district enforces our cell phone policy.

6:15 pm

*Starts to wonder if the Stid family is famous*

6:16 pm

cell phones are taken by the teachers or administrators if the kids have them out during class time. BUT in high school the kids are often on irregular schedules, so I call or text the kid when it's convenient for me.

6:16 pm

no molly, just prudent. I used to work in a field that emphasized personal security, so I learned a lot about keeping people safe.

6:17 pm

well, my brains and eyes are tired. I need to do something non-computer for a bit or I won't be able to see at all later.

6:18 pm

*Sprinkles fairy dust around Stid and puts drops of crystal clear water in her tired eyes*

6:19 pm

thanks molly. (((hugs all))) I will be back online later, to attempt to finish. down to 25! see you then! *poof*

6:29 pm

bye, stid!

6:29 pm

and hi again, all!

6:37 pm

14 left, time for a little dinner. bbl.

6:51 pm

niche is a word??

6:51 pm

hi all1 :)

6:51 pm

hello again

6:51 pm

yes but not in the grid, lu

6:51 pm

and hi, lu and trif!

6:52 pm

all of us science geeks would argue that it belongs in the grid

6:53 pm

i see. my eyes playing tricks on me

6:53 pm

it doesn't link up, lu - no i is next to a c

6:53 pm

that is next to an h

6:53 pm

or whatever

6:53 pm

that n in the third column is driving me nut bags

6:54 pm

plural number, trif

6:54 pm

duh....I hang my head in shame

6:55 pm

fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:55 pm

huzzah for uusue!

6:55 pm

last word was zo4/9

6:56 pm

Name those Proper Nouns: three greek Goddess whose names are spelled the same, except for the first letter, but one of their names does not rhyme!

6:57 pm

Is one of them Circe? Not up on my Greek mythology, I guess.

6:58 pm

No, sorry.

6:58 pm

selene?

6:58 pm

That's one......

6:58 pm

6:59 pm

I had actually tried selene earlier...

6:59 pm

yay for ham!

7:01 pm

apparently there is a basilisk in the trash barrel....poor secondo went up to get it down, and there it was!

7:02 pm

oh, dear (for both secondo and the basilisk)

7:05 pm

so apparently I have come upstairs with a bottle of beer that does NOT have a twist-off cap. Should I try to scare up, or fudge, a bottle-opening device or do I have to go back downstairs?

7:06 pm

*Hopes Sue doesn't break off the top and drink out of the jaggedy edge*

7:07 pm

actually my son is bringing one up for me (I figured he'd know where they were :-)

7:08 pm

ahhhhhh

7:08 pm

corner of the desk works well

7:09 pm

*Note to self: Send Sue church keys that she can hide in places around the house for such emergencies*

7:09 pm

ok, if anyone wants a clue please ask now as I am planning on vegetating in front of the TV for the rest of the evening

7:15 pm

hearing none, I will decamp. See you all tomorrow!

7:20 pm
