12:36 am

the theme is druids

12:36 am

yes -- have the ra 6 as well (missed it)

12:36 am

mo 6x2

12:36 am

ras, that will assist you in getting the no7 and 8... ra6'es are no7

12:36 am

the am7 sounds like an ozzie sheep

no7 is a piece of music...?

12:37 am

and now to the grid

sounded like a car to me :)

12:37 am

do you have the animal ra6?

12:37 am

ty ras my first word

12:37 am

i like the sheep version!

12:37 am

yes -- chopin comes to mind :)

sunday night west

12:39 am

ooh getting excited??

12:39 am

so r u gonna babble on yr honeymoon? ( u don't have to answer that)

12:39 am

think I'm going to have to list for the last few

12:39 am

well I certainly did

sure, i fear that i am not shouldering my share of the burden in the last few days

12:40 am

best you stay away

12:40 am

oh wow -- congrats, josh

honeymoon is not until wintertime, and it should be nice

12:41 am

what kind of wedding josh? small and simple or lots of attendants?

about 100 guests, so not small

12:42 am

josh, where is the little old church?

downtown toronto, berkeley church

12:42 am

get your groomsmen in line and your job is done

12:42 am

wondered if it might be behind the Eaton Centre?

12:43 am

i know it's early but i'm getting twitchy...can i pls have a clue for the co6 and cr5?

it's not at the eaton centre, more to the east in downtown core

12:43 am

joshies getting married!!!

co 6/36

12:44 am

gort, it is never 'early' for a clue!

12:44 am

ok, not familiar with it josh

12:44 am

we need to throw him a bachelor party

12:44 am

i agree mrp

too late, my mates threw me one tonight

12:44 am

wouldn't that be fun west

12:44 am

I'd like a clue for the am 7 -- has me stumped

12:44 am

cr + we own this so it is **rs... switch the vowels around

12:45 am

co6 + jo ... bring together

12:45 am

and here you are on babble..was it fun?

it was fun - i'm trying to finish the grid before reality i.e. fitful sleep happens

12:45 am

ahhh, twitching stopped, much relieved, thanks mrp

12:46 am

glad i could help!

12:47 am

no fitful sleeping allowed..just relax and think happy thoughts

12:47 am

am7... do you know the aussie sheep with the incredible wool?? a + m***** but the vowel after the m is 4th vowel instead

the fitful sleeping will be related more to the alcohol consumption than to my state of mind

12:47 am

I see. Nice cup of tea then

12:47 am

me**** wool is the most used wool in the world for blankets

12:48 am

so they gave you a bachelor party??

12:48 am

ty mrp

it certainly feels that way mrp

ma 6/21

12:49 am

thanks mrp for am7

12:49 am

West -- I love your icon and poem. Haven't had time to change mine yet.

2:37 am

thanks jilli was cleaning the kitchen

good morning all, anychance of a clue for the 8 please?

2:38 am

it's musical jenny

2:38 am

2:39 am

sure thought you had them..no 8/50

2:39 am

ty west for the no8

lovely, got it thanks

2:40 am

you're welcome

2:40 am

hi jenny and all

2:40 am

jilli I had so much trouble with my icon..it refused to switch over

2:41 am

jenny take the vowel off the end for a 7

2:41 am

wel, it's here now, west!

2:41 am

everyone but me could see it lol

2:42 am

everyone but I ?

2:42 am

hmm, I wonder -- me or I?

2:43 am

but I sounds weird

2:43 am

it does

2:43 am

haz would know but she's never here any more

2:44 am

busy with the wedding I'd guess

2:44 am

I have to go to bed!

west, have you ever visited Stonehenge?

2:44 am

oh and josh is getting married this Sunday..had his bachelor party tonight

2:44 am

wedding?

2:44 am

no I haven't jenny ..would love to

2:45 am

I remember she mentioned her daughter was getting married in August

2:45 am

I've been to Stonehenge -- twice -- in 1936 and 1968

2:45 am

it looks amazing

It used to be absolutely wonderful, but now it is rather commercialised and you are no longer allowed to walk around the stones. It's a pity, but a necessity.

2:45 am

poor josh will likely have a giant hangover tomorrow

2:46 am

oh that is too bad..that's what I'd like to do

2:46 am

we could go right in when I was there, jenny -- so long ago. Why do a few people have to spoil things for everyone else?

2:47 am

josh said he didn't think he was doing enough re the wedding..I told him it was best if he stayed out of it lol

2:47 am

back in the early 70's we could walk on the Parthenon too

2:47 am

you're right, west.

2:48 am

best he got his groomsmen in line

2:48 am

can somebody clue the top left C? A cr5, I think

2:49 am

Hi Jilli .... cr + belonging to us

2:50 am

The belonging to us spelt diferent ...

2:50 am

oh, thanks norma -- had me puzzled there for a bit!

I have seen it from the road since they stopped you going right in but haven't ventured any further parly because it cost £7.50 each to get in!

2:51 am

I suppose they need the fee for the upkeep

2:52 am

which is pretty funny since it's a ruin

2:53 am

I would like to announce with a great deal of pride that I finally have nbt

2:54 am

that bottom middle a was my downfall

would never have got that Norma without your help

2:58 am

nbt and nbs here, over halfway and heading for bed -- goodnight/evening/day all and ...*poof

2:59 am

good night jilli sweet dreams

3:27 am

good morning

3:30 am

hi ruby purple fingers

3:30 am

hello westford!

3:30 am

and after all that work, I only got 4 jars!

3:30 am

what a nice bunch of clues in the chog, those no's were brilliant!

3:30 am

what happened?

3:31 am

I use a food mill to remove the seeds but I guess they just weren't very juicy

3:31 am

I liked the no8

3:31 am

we don't have very many musical words

3:31 am

me, too, but what a small grid for a Saturday

3:32 am

are you up extremely late or very early?

3:32 am

the first one

3:32 am

can't sleep so here I am

3:32 am

perhaps it's better than sleep

3:32 am

what did we do without babble?

3:33 am

I can't remember, lol

3:41 am

ooh, I just got an o6 on my own

3:42 am

good job

3:42 am

small pleasures!

3:42 am

I was happy with that one too

3:43 am

a real word lol

3:43 am

for a change

3:43 am

I can't believe my husband has moved his aperitif time from 11AM to 10:30! Too bad for him, I'm not joining him

3:44 am

that is early..

3:45 am

he must be an early riser

3:45 am

his eyes are bad and he gets up at 5AM, so can't read as long as he would like -- but still.....

3:45 am

and he would eat lunch at 11 now, if I would agree

3:46 am

but I make him wait 'til 12 as we have a big breakfast on Sat and 'til 6 for dinner, although he'd like to eat at 5

3:46 am

that's more like brunch

3:46 am

old age is no joke!

3:46 am

no kidding

3:47 am

and since the big breakfast kills my appetite, you can imagine my interest in the other meals.....

3:48 am

we eat late husband's mother used to have dinner on the table at 5 p.m. not here lol

3:48 am

it breaks up the day too much and keeps me from seeing neighbors, etc

3:49 am

I thought all Europeans dined late

3:49 am

and took 3 hour lunches

3:49 am

they do and we don't, so when they're cleaning up after lunch, I'm starting dinner

3:49 am

so civilized

3:50 am

did you get a new housekeeper yet?

3:50 am

the only nice thing that happened this week as, when looking for something else, I found a large drawful of my old artwork from '68-'78, that my son had carefully put aside for me

3:50 am

oh how nice

3:51 am

our temp finished Friday and I'm hoping that the "real" one will start on Monday. This house gets very dirty, very fast!

3:51 am

drawerful* bad typing

3:51 am

I knew that's what you meant

3:51 am

and the temp only worked 5 or 6 hours a week!

3:52 am

that's hardly enough

3:52 am

drawful sounds like a portmaneau word

3:52 am

lol

3:52 am

not with two long-haired dogs and a literally dirty garden (the sod didn't take!)

3:52 am

an awful drawful

3:52 am

or fully dreadful

3:53 am

you can't imagine the dog hair and footprints

3:53 am

I thought sod always worked..we just had some stuff sprayed on

3:53 am

hydro seed I think it's called

3:53 am

I take care of the kitchen, cooking and laundry but can't do a lot more than that

3:53 am

that's enough !!

3:54 am

I'm ready to paint that section of lawn green. Husband wants to pave it over!

3:54 am

our new brick patio is beautiful

3:54 am

it is very shady and the sod just turned to a muddy carpet

3:54 am

only have less than half the yard for lawn now

3:55 am

who laid the bricks? a professional? and are they in a zigzag pattern?

3:55 am

nobody who looks at the garden says "Nice grass!"

3:55 am

they notice the flowers

3:56 am

yes very professional and not zigzag. started out that way and we didn't like it so they started over

3:56 am

I had better go now with less than half done. But it's been very nice chatting with you westford; I hope you can get some sleep !

3:56 am

what is between the bricks?

3:56 am

nice to see you too ruby

3:57 am

some kind of sand..they did a fantastic job

3:57 am

I'll post pictures

3:57 am

the entire yard had to be graded and you wouldn't believe the roots

3:57 am

I would love that, but unfortunately, we have to continue the flat stones from the pathway or it will look too odd

3:57 am

helllo all

3:57 am

you have my e-mail, yes?

3:58 am

it's in my profile

3:58 am

hi and bye saddy

3:58 am

yes I do I'll send you pics

3:58 am

*poof*

3:58 am

hi saddy

3:58 am

{{west}}

3:59 am

((ruby))

4:00 am

time for me to hit the hay

4:00 am

*poof*

4:19 am

sheesh tiugh grid

4:20 am

tough

4:53 am

good morning all... who shrunk my babble?!

5:39 am

fireflies. Not too hard, a bit too small.

6:03 am

Only 76 words and 13 of the tiles are vowels. Wheeeee! Who do I have to pay to get a decent grid on a Saturday?

6:05 am

unfortunately i believe doc just lets them generate randomly

6:05 am

Me Me. Pay me!!

6:05 am

(Cant do anything about the grid, but needs a cash injection....)

6:06 am

Weird odds then. They have been small on Saturday for weeks now. Hi Hursh. Hi Soodle.

6:06 am

Hi Hursh, Molls :-)

6:06 am

chance is a funny thing

6:07 am

*Quickly checks Lottery tickets*

6:07 am

.............(holding breath..........)

6:07 am

the lottery is simply a voluntary tax on the poor - another example of class warfare.

6:08 am

Breathe Soodle, I'm still a peasant.

6:09 am

I know, Hursh, but I have been doing the same set of numbers for years now, and I am petrified that the day I stop doing them,.....the inevitable will happen.

6:09 am

Well, the lottery gives me a chance at a dream a few times a week. I can't knock that.

6:10 am

What Molly said!

6:10 am

sigh.

6:11 am

maybe you need a different dream. maybe your sense of what a lot of money would do for your life is inaccurate.

6:11 am

Meanwhile, I have the Summer cold from hell, so it's hot liquids and old movies for me today. *Sniff*

6:12 am

or you could find a friend who would do what my dad used to do for people - they paid him the money they used to put on lottery tickets, and then when they felt like winning, he'd give it all back to them.

6:14 am

this grid makes me want macaroni and macaroons

6:15 am

Oh thanks for the clue Hursh. : )

6:16 am

clue? what clue?

6:16 am

One of your words, less two letters.

6:16 am

LOL, yeah, thanks Hursh. That gave me the color.

6:17 am

oh, i see. :)

6:17 am

Three letters

6:19 am

That was quite a good idea your Dad had with the lottery players, Hursh. But, I think I will continue with my quest for millions :-)

6:23 am

GMorning Babble Peoples!! :0)

6:24 am

Hi Mary

6:25 am

Hey Soodle!

6:26 am

I'm with you on the lottery.....cha-ching!

6:27 am

Along with making sure my family is taken care of, I have a philanthropic use for lottery winnings, so I figure I would put the money to good use. I have no desire for fancy cars and rich stuff.

6:29 am

Seriously, me too....I am quite comfortable with my lifestyle... After making sure that my family is taken care of.... I would help others with the money...my fav is foster children..

6:31 am

That's good Maryte. There is a lot of room for improvement in the care of foster children. Sometimes I think foster animals are treated better.

6:34 am

they have so little.....the highest expectation these children have is a decent meal and someone who cares...you rarely see foster kids with a pair of Nikes or a Dora backpack....

6:35 am

<---------- hanging head in shame, as dreams of luxury yachts, fast cars and a debauched life fly out the window.....

6:36 am

There is a running theme in the TV show "Bones" where two of the main characters were foster kids. They touch on the subject of what it's like to grow up that way. I give the writers some credit for using that to create awareness of the situation.

6:36 am

it's highly admirable to want to help foster children. it's just, if you set out with that goal in mind and tried to figure out the best way to help, playing the lottery would not be high on the list.

6:36 am

Not that name brands make life better, its just they know they will never own what our children take for granted, I want to set up scholarships for these kids....Soodle..you know what you would do...you are too nice...

6:38 am

<--- Knows that Soodle would be donating to worthy causes in between yacht trips and rides in her fast car.

6:38 am

I already help these kids Hurshy.... winning the lottery would really expand what I can do.....

6:39 am

O.k. I know Soodle would take them for rides on the yacht and fast cars!!!

6:40 am

Good for you Maryte. (meanwhile I consider myself to BE a worthy cause :-)...)

6:40 am

my sister took in foster kids..adopted two litle brothers.. gave me two beautiful nephews

6:41 am

haha!! If I win, I will get you a scholarship!!

6:41 am

God bless her Ivesy! It is a wonderful calling....

6:41 am

Thanks, Maryte. To Barbados, or Hawaii, please!!

6:42 am

University of Hawaii??

6:42 am

Ivesy - thats fantastic. I took 2 little boys from Chernobyl one summer. It was very difficult, but so rewarding.

6:42 am

or University of Fiji??

6:43 am

yes, it is difficult.. she had to give up quite a few that we became attached to. dont think people realize how many kids out there need a family

6:44 am

But Ivesy..she sent them onward with the experience of someone who really cares and what a real family is like...

6:45 am

true.. she would have adopted them all lol!

6:46 am

I think dreams are a good thing. Life would be very bland and mundane without them.

6:46 am

here, here Molly!! So true.....

6:46 am

i dream im out of debt.. in the meantime its a nightmare

6:47 am

(((Ivesy)))

6:47 am

We still get letters from the two lads we took for the summer. They are both 19 now, and doing very well. They still speak highly of their summer here. I think my own kids benefited more than the 2 fostered kids.

6:48 am

Letters? You actually get letters? Not texts that say "how r u". I am overjoyed that people do indeed still write letters. Yay!

6:50 am

Actual letters Moll! Its a joy to receive them, in among all the bills. I know the feeling, Ivesy!

7:52 am

way to go Min

7:52 am

T's Totaled! 4 left

7:52 am

we finally got a great amount of rain

7:52 am

we got about half an inch yesterday -- wonderful! The few drops we got last week dried up FAST in the 100 degree temps . . .

7:52 am

of course, because I wanted my garden a day before which I had not done all suller

7:53 am

wow Min, you are killing this grid

7:53 am

That is a good amount Une. Yes, it has been hot.

7:53 am

lol, it works that way, Sue

7:53 am

we broke the Nashville record for the day on Wednesday -- heat index of 114 . . .

7:53 am

oh, my favorite chore is in the grid. ir 4/4

7:54 am

I need to take a break from slaughtering the grid. I'll be back later on for my last four words & to help clue

7:54 am

for the first time, I actually have ripe figs on my potted fig tree -- and they're really good! :-)

7:54 am

wow Une, that is hot.

7:54 am

see you soon Min, enjoy your day

7:54 am

I cannot imagine 114 degrees

7:54 am

hi and bye, min

7:54 am

7:55 am

yesterday was a wonderful break

7:55 am

bye Min

7:55 am

7:55 am

Annie, that evening it was still in the 90s at 10:00 when I took my dogs out to pee -- ugh

7:55 am

Hello all. It has been a hot, dry summer in many places. My garden suffered for that, even with me watering it.

7:55 am

glad you've gotten some relief, sue! Looks like Charlotte had quite a storm yesterday . . .

7:55 am

hey, molly :-)

7:56 am

9:21 am

9:21 am

hi ruby

9:21 am

((RUBY)))

9:22 am

Hi all. Not a darn pluot in the whole grocery store. : P

9:23 am

what the heck is a pluot?

9:24 am

{{wv, molly and crossy}} big group hug!

9:24 am

Apparently it is some kind of plum/apricot combo. The word was in the grid yesterday and people were talking about them. Me, I've never heard of them.

9:24 am

sounds as good as a chocolate martini to me, molly!

9:24 am

Chocolate martini...*Gag*

9:25 am

ahh frankenfruit! i was blown away the first time i saw brociflower

9:25 am

mmmmmm chocolate.........

9:26 am

You know the old saying, it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.

9:26 am

indeed,

9:26 am

crash, bang, lightning, thunder!!!!!!!

9:26 am

our ontario fresh peaches are out!! yaa no more crap trucked from the states and ripened on I 95 lol

9:26 am

I try to stay on Ma Nature's good side. I find if I'm good to Her, She's good to me.

9:26 am

it's funny, crossy, we like brocollini. Cook it to death, saute with garlic and olive oil. It's wonderful

9:27 am

never seen brocolini

9:27 am

Fresh peaches are a little bit of heaven. So juicy, you have to eat them over the sink.

9:27 am

I just yelled at the neighbor-children "Shut up!" and the screaming stopped immediately. Husband was very embarrassed.....

9:28 am

yup,i have a beard,so i make a total disaster of myself when i eat fresh peaches:)

9:28 am

We get white peaches here, molly, and I've been making preserves with them while they last. They're the best

9:29 am

I guess I'm a grumpy person, but it gets very tiresome when children scream all the time. I don't know how their parents stand it.

9:29 am

.......tomatoes from the garden....mmmmmmm

9:29 am

poor grumpy ruby..have a nice martini

9:29 am

what i dearly miss are the sweet pea pods right from the garden

9:29 am

I have the most tomatoes this year that I've ever had, enough to give away! And they're huge.

9:30 am

tis a good year for tomatoes and cuccumbers

9:30 am

i remember as kids we would sit in the garden for hours eating peas

9:30 am

I loved growing peas but then, after the second year, developed a severe allergy to the pods and the raw peas, severe enough to need an adrenalin shot

9:30 am

:(

9:31 am

one year, since we've lived here, all the tomatoes in this valley turned black. Very weird

9:31 am

I used to love shelling peas and eating the occasional raw pea.....

9:31 am

gads! where are the words in this bloody grid?

9:32 am

I can't even reach half! (but I couldn't yesterday, either)

9:32 am

half? i cannot get past 20!

9:33 am

when I was a kid, my friend and I used to steal figs from a neighbor's garden. Nowe I have an enormous fig tree, beautiful, but it only gives ripened fruit sporadically

9:33 am

I have 26 left.....

9:33 am

ahh just found that masked critter of the night

9:33 am

hi movieman

9:34 am

I have 41 left

9:34 am

My tomatoes didn't do so well this year. Only got a few and I don't see any new growth. Ah well.

9:35 am

mine are so laden that they are flling down. Last year, I got none, just cherry ones, tiny but many

good morning every one. My tomatoes r quite good this year especially the cherry tomatoes

9:35 am

I don't know enough about gardens to understand, but I don't think it's up to me, somehow.....

9:35 am

falling*

9:35 am

where do you live, marija?

9:35 am

I need to prepare my soil better next year. I enjoy the process though, even if the yield is sparse.

9:36 am

my husband thinks it's cheaper to buy them every week, but there's no pleasure in that!

9:36 am

and, no matter what, home-grown tomatoes taste better!

i live just out side Montreal, it is on the west side of Montreal island in a small town called Kirkland

9:37 am

The only place around here that I can get produce as fresh as home grown is at the Amish market. Their baby potatoes are SO good.

9:37 am

as crossy said about peaches, they don't have to ripen on the truck

9:38 am

your name looks Finnish or Lithuanian, so I thought you'd be in Europe, Marija. Presumptuous Ruby (sorry)

9:38 am

many people around here grow their own potatoes and they are reputedly, much better

My father is from Lithuanian, my mother from Ireland, we immigrated from Yorkshire england into Ontario, then i met my husband who is from Montrea so i am here now

9:40 am

half, yay!

9:40 am

$2,50 a basket..crossy is in peach heven!

9:41 am

well, marija, it is nice to see you here. My husband's antecedents came from Lithuania, too, but in the 19th C.

9:41 am

that is a good price, crossy, you should "put some up" for winter

9:41 am

I have tried growing potatoes, but apparently, they need cool nights, which we don't have in the summer.

9:42 am

i have never done preserves in the last 15 years,i am out of practice

thank you Ruby, it is a small world, i think we r all related at some point

9:42 am

boiling all those darn jars and rubber rings is all i can remember lol

9:42 am

and the wax plugs

9:42 am

I've never had home-grown potatoes, but even the ones in the market are better than American ones (but it doesn't make up for the terrible beef!!!!!)

9:42 am

does anyone have the mo 6/21?

9:43 am

not me, ru ru, I must be a mo5/12

9:43 am

m+ name of constellation

9:43 am

ty teach

9:43 am

thank you teach.

9:43 am

I don't bother with that, crossy, just make the jam or jelly, get the jars really full, invert them and hope for the best.

9:44 am

I sure couldn't find that one

9:44 am

Nobody's ever been poisoned here (although I some times hoped so)

9:44 am

lol,hope to hear those lids pop

9:44 am

ty teach!

9:45 am

that is a very nice thing to say, marija, but I think crossy has the most distinguished roots!

coon

9:46 am

uh oh, making marija a vodka smush in the pb! lol

9:46 am

problem is now i have no equipment,will need a case of jars,lids and rings and the deep boiler pot...peaches will cost 10 dollars a pint by the time im done lol

9:47 am

I don't do it that elaborately, crossy, just do small batches at a time. I boil the jars and lids for a little while and the worst thing that ever happens is a little mold forms and I just scoop it off! That's why I'm so tough

9:47 am

The cost of all that stuff is why I freeze leftover fresh fruit.

9:47 am

lol ruby makes her own pennicillin

9:47 am

yes, molly, except my fridge/freezer, appears to be dying.

9:48 am

you betcha

9:48 am

from what the locals say, that mold won't hurt you.....it's a little bit disgusting, but I wear gloves

sorry , pushed wrong button, was trying a new word. Crossy what r your roots if i may ask? thank you ruby for the vodka smush

9:49 am

though i love the minds eye view i have right now of rows of preserves,jams,jellies,bread and butter pickles,small taters,chilli sauce all lined up in rows,..corn peas...

9:49 am

crossy is VERY distinguished, not the child of immigrants like most of us!

9:50 am

crossy: I worry about vermin in the pantry....

9:50 am

That would be the pantry of my friends in Pennsylvania. They have a small farm and they put up fruit, vegetables, spaghetti sauce and salsa.

9:51 am

for a New York girl like me, "putting up" fruit is a delicious and strange pleasure

9:51 am

i am of the melbourne clan marjia,trace our tree back to just before the year 1000 in france MAL-BOURN but we were big in the 1700,s and 1800,s in england,dirty old men we were for the most part,chasing princess round the castle lol

9:51 am

am7?

9:51 am

kind of a dubious fame at best

9:51 am

hello shirlock, you must be kidding

9:52 am

crossy: I think my husband must be related to your clan

9:52 am

lol

whoa, yes u r quite distinguished, crossy

9:52 am

a + good ***ning + a rh*** has a big horn on it's nose

9:52 am

thx molly

9:52 am

I had a biz friend from SA who, when asked if he had a criminal record when entering Australia said,"Is it still necessary?"

9:53 am

ty for that am 7 molly

9:53 am

ty molly

Need a clue for ar5. Anyone?

Got it

9:53 am

smell, kenny

9:54 am

hit me with a fish, shir

Bye everyone, must get some work done

9:55 am

Ruby your friend from SA is a smart ass. I would get along with him just fine.

9:55 am

lol,like i say,dingos and convicts..a dubious honor at best:) but i love all my aussie friend,,just pullingn yer leg

9:55 am

bye marija, it was nice to see you!

thank you every one

9:56 am

I had a lot of fun travelling with my "factory guys" when I was working

9:56 am

hey crossy, 43 words, nya nya nya

9:56 am

:P

9:59 am

I think 43 is it!

9:59 am

Jeeze. 31 American special ops service people were killed in a helicopter shoot down. Are we EVER going to get out of this pointless war?

9:59 am

now i am going to make it my goal in life to get 44 words:P

9:59 am

that is horrible, molly!

9:59 am

happy to help, crossy

10:00 am

not to worry when the country goes bankrupt,they will have to pull the troops

10:00 am

molly, between you and me, we could probably settle this deficit problem: legalize drugs, raise taxes on the rich and end these futile wars!

10:01 am

lol,make weed legal and the taxes would pour in

10:01 am

exactly!

10:01 am

Oh but Ruby, they will never raise taxes on the rich. The rich run the country. And yes, it's high time we AT LEAST legalize marijuana.

10:01 am

did anyone (refering to Crossy's note) see Saving Grace with Bl;enda Blethyn, one of my faves

10:02 am

Nope, haven't seen it.

10:02 am

opium growing finances the taliban. So drug companies make money with synthetic opium. How stupid is that?

10:02 am

legal booze can be more evil than legal weed can ever be

10:03 am

Legalize opium and the war in Afghanistan would end (taliban would run out of money), painkillers would be virtually free, and the drug company lobbies would lose their power

10:03 am

My ex used to say he would much rather meet a stoner in a dark alley than a drunk. The worst thing the stoner will do is steal your twinkies. : )

10:03 am

Ruby is not popular!

10:04 am

crossy thinks what legal weed in grams,1/4 oz and half oz would do for his convienienvce store monthly totals:)

10:04 am

that's so true, moll

10:04 am

You are popular with me Ruby. It's high time the drug lobbies and the insurance leeches get squashed.

10:04 am

I could grow it for you, crossy, in my potager

10:04 am

lol

10:05 am

here an oz or less right now is just a ticket,not a felony like of old

10:05 am

I think the drug lobbies are responsible for the border problems with Mexico and the war in Afghanistan! Next, they'll start monitoring my e-mails!!! hahahah

10:06 am

lol,as long as it is not all in little gram baggies

10:06 am

the whole thing makes me angry

10:06 am

err,ruby,here the powers that be can request from your isp provider a list of every sitre you have been to and everythin gthing you did there

10:07 am

OMG

10:07 am

law is less than a year old

10:07 am

I think you could commit a murder in France and they'd say "Oh, she had a difficult childhood"

10:08 am

not that I'm considering it, or anything lol

10:08 am

but they are very close to legal weed,so we will not care lol..if the doctor will let me smoke it that is:((

10:08 am

if some law-enforcement geek wants to read all of this sh**, "have at it!"

10:09 am

Sadly, the word is full of enablers and excuse makers.

10:09 am

right now on most days,good ole fresh air can be an adventure lol

10:09 am

this is probably a (gin) martini talking, but too bad

10:10 am

and, on this note, I have to make dinner.

10:10 am

i love it when ruby gets all fiesty after her nightly martini:)

10:10 am

43, crossy, 43! I'll be back after dinner to check on your progress.

10:11 am

lol,ill shall do my best

10:11 am

at least I'm not yelling at you to be quiet (like the neighbors, who, BTW, have been quiet since I shouted at them)

10:12 am

hah, 44!

10:13 am

45!

10:14 am

46! setting the bar higher, crossy!

Just wondering where in NJ you're going

11:37 am

hi again, hego :-)

11:39 am

my dad lives in Millington

11:39 am

but I will be driving, so will have my car

11:39 am

Not familiar with that. Is it north?

11:39 am

near Morristown

11:40 am

so yes

11:40 am

Aha! northwest Jersey.

11:40 am

Nice up there.

11:40 am

north central, anyway

11:41 am

it is - his house is on the top of a ridge, so when you look out his living room window all you see is woods

11:41 am

he's near the intersection of 287 and 78

11:41 am

Busy area

11:41 am

interstates are busy but the towns are small

11:42 am

are you in south Jersey?

11:42 am

I'm down on the Shore, near Asbury Park

11:42 am

oh, ok, we used to go to Point Pleasant when I was a kid

11:43 am

Very congested this time of year

11:43 am

Can't wait for Labor Day

11:44 am

It's the locals favorite holiday. lol

11:44 am

I'll bet! We always took our vacation in August because my dad said by that time the water was nice and warm (and it was :-)

11:44 am

true

11:44 am

And less crowded than JUly too

11:45 am

last time i was there was in the mid 60s; I'll bet it's changed a lot since then!

11:46 am

Yes, it was nicer then.

11:46 am

And way less expensive.

11:47 am

we usually just went for the day, with a picnic lunch, so the main expense was parking (and gas, which was very cheap back then)

11:47 am

nice

11:48 am

anyway I am headed out for a while, see you later!

11:48 am

hello babble friends. a quick lunch break on a busy saturday...how is everyone?

11:48 am

Hi Trif

11:48 am

hello! Rather grateful to dr. god today - a nice short grid so I won't get sidetracked for too long. so much to do today!

11:49 am

Need to get lunch. bbl

11:55 am

crossy back and munching lunch of seared chicken breast strips,coated in my famouse pulled pork sweet and spicy sauce

11:55 am

humpf. I finally have time to babble, and there is no one to talk to! bummer....

11:55 am

howdy trif:)

11:56 am

hello

11:56 am

howdy sadie

11:57 am

howdy crosshair

11:57 am

howdy!!! so excited to see you both!

11:57 am

how's the family, cross? Elegant and the boy doing well?

11:58 am

both doing fine trif;) and how about you and your clan?

11:59 am

mostly well, thank you! Summer is my VERY busy season, and this year has been more busy than last, so that's been a challenge. Primo is SO excited to be heading off to college soon, but he has had a tough summer due to a very troubling bout with Lyme disease that really knocked him for a loop. He is down to just 116 lbs, which is a light weight for an 18 year old, obvs.

12:00 pm

lyme disease? from ticks right?

12:00 pm

he does seem to be doing much better lately, and managed a full dinner last night, so thats good. Yes, from a deer tick bite. It was a CLASSIC bullseye - honestly, the doctor said they could have put a photo in a text book

12:01 pm

yes a healty 18 year old boy should be in around 150-160

12:01 pm

healthy

12:01 pm

mind you, he has always had a "body by kermit" but it is getting SCARY

12:02 pm

give him supplimental protein shakes with meals

12:02 pm

you can get them at pharmacy

12:02 pm

eating isn't the problem....er...."retaining" the meals is

12:03 pm

mm:(

12:03 pm

anyway...as I said, he is doing much better this week, especially the last couple of days, so I am hopeful

12:04 pm

and it has been SO FUN getting him ready to go off to his new college adventure. Getting dorm supplies, registering for classes, etc.

12:04 pm

scary time for the kids,but once they get first year done it is all good

12:05 pm

yes, I agree. I remember so well the real mix of anticipation and dread fear. And then going back for sophomore year was a breeeeeeze

12:06 pm

crossy, quick canadian question -do you guys have the same Discovery Channel programming up there that we have in the States? i.e., is it "shark week" for you all too?

12:07 pm

they can focus on specific targets and that will be perfect for my son when he finishes high school

12:07 pm

yes we do trif

12:07 pm

crossy loves discovery and history channel

12:07 pm

is shark week a big deal up there? man, it sure is here, much more than I ever would have guessed!

12:07 pm

if i could get those 2 and amc alnoe in a three pack,i would toss all the rest

12:08 pm

alone

12:08 pm

semi big..

12:08 pm

hmmm. I think I would add in bravo, and that would be my dream offering...

12:09 pm

yes,i think i could bring it up to a 5 pack..the rest is garbage

12:09 pm

whoops, there goes the timer! Back to work for me. LOVELY to check in with you, albeit briefly, my dear crossy....my best wishes to you, and to the family.

12:10 pm

tc trif:)

12:10 pm

and blessings to you and yours

12:16 pm

I'd add the Science Channel and maybe National Geographic, but I like your list :-)

12:19 pm

hello, back to try to find 29 impossible words

12:20 pm

hi, ruby! I only have 28 and already some of them were impossible :-P

12:21 pm

perhaps I shall amuse myself by making up some words, like mootif (a cow theme)

12:22 pm

{{sue}}

12:22 pm

finished (1/2 way at least) with my post-prandial chores

12:23 pm

good for you, ruby! I slept in and am just finishing my breakfast (!)

12:23 pm

no chance of sleeping in around here!

12:23 pm

all I've done today (besides babbling and reading) is cook and wash pots

12:24 pm

If Ru were here he would say "Udderly terrific word Sue" : P

12:24 pm

do you have the lone e?

12:24 pm

well, that is two more things than I have done (unless you count putting the yogurt on my cereal as cooking)

12:24 pm

eeew, molly

12:24 pm

hi folks

12:24 pm

close enough, sue

12:24 pm

hi welki

12:24 pm

ec4 a color Ruby

12:25 pm

I do: ec4/6, pale tan

12:25 pm

hi, welki!

12:25 pm

slap me with a mack!

12:25 pm

Hi Welki

12:25 pm

I do not, however, have any words from the j or from the central o

12:25 pm

except the of5 fish that i just found :-P

12:25 pm

would you like clues or stats, for once, I have both

12:26 pm

**** in holy matrimony Sue

12:26 pm

oh look! You can go to the RIGHT from that J! (thx, molly)

12:26 pm

ou6, what you'd wear to the ceremony

12:26 pm

you would think I would know that one, being as I've done it so many times :-P

12:27 pm

thx, ruby!

12:27 pm

Shush Sue. You are not Elizabeth Taylor.

12:29 pm

Or Zsa Zsa. I think she got married more times than Liz.

12:29 pm

elizabeth taylor wilding burton fisher burton something or other +++

12:29 pm

true :-)

12:30 pm

I've never gotten the Burton twice thing. I would think once would be enough for anyone.

12:30 pm

from what I've read, they were obsessed with each other.....

12:31 pm

do I read trash or what?

12:31 pm

I have a friend here who got divorced and then remarried the same guy - it's working for her...

12:31 pm

I have a friend in SA who did the same thing, with somebody else in the middle, but she's miserable now

12:31 pm

oh and thanks to molly ad ruby I have nbs and nbt

12:32 pm

did you get the stupid co6/36? I was just monkeying around

12:32 pm

Oh see, therein lies the downfall. Whenever anyone uses the word "Obsessed" look out. It's one of my red flags for instability.

12:32 pm

with my friend I think the first marriage was brief, and they were quite young; she also married someone else but they've been together almost 20 years now (the second time)

12:33 pm

Wasnt the other husband Mike Todd - always thought he suioted her best?

12:33 pm

ahah, molly, I am only obsessed with finding the names of the 7th dwarf and the 8th reindeer! hahah

12:33 pm

right, deetha, I forgot about him

12:33 pm

no co6 here but I am just starting

12:33 pm

Sue, I'm guessing that your friend's husband is not a raging alcoholic. That's what I don't get about Taylor marrying Burton twice.

12:33 pm

but wasn't she, also?

12:34 pm

It's possible Ruby, although I have never read that about her.

12:34 pm

from what I can tell he is not. I don't know him well but he seems nice (every time I see him he is working on their farm)

12:35 pm

DH says that he once saw them together when he was at a game park in SA and they were roaring drunk and roaring!

12:35 pm

ruby!!! 56!!:P

12:36 pm

oh no! that crossy is too smart!

12:36 pm

And the race continues!!!

12:37 pm

hello hego, nice to see you; I missed you earlier

12:37 pm

lol,she will win i am sure,i have 15 min then must head to work

12:39 pm

I'll only stay 15 mins, crossy, and if I can't get 7 more, that's it!

12:39 pm

co6/36 please?

12:39 pm

and she has had her martini(crossy is noit allowed his for 8 more hours) :((

12:39 pm

Hi Ruby!

12:39 pm

<--- Is starting to think Ruby is an incognito celebrity. Paul Simon, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton...

12:39 pm

co6, like what liz and richard did, twice

12:39 pm

co + **** in holy matrimony

12:39 pm

lol

12:40 pm

no no, I didn't see them. Much before me in DH's life

12:40 pm

ah, thx, ruby!

12:40 pm

Thanks Molly

12:40 pm

I've only known a couple of celebrities back in my jazz groupie days....

12:40 pm

gee, i'm more than half way!

12:40 pm

Thanks ruby too

12:40 pm

You're welcome Betty Anne

12:41 pm

12:46 pm

YAY!!! Betty

12:46 pm

hoorah betty anne!

12:46 pm

*Adds to Sue's made up words. Notif, a negative style of decorating.

12:47 pm

I love when I make up a word and voila!

12:47 pm

lol,molly!

12:48 pm

and then the occasional Fr word....mo6/24 baaaa

12:48 pm

and with 59 words i must head to work and give the lady a flower for her hair for a race well played

12:48 pm

oooo Ruby!

12:49 pm

thx, ruby!

12:49 pm

you win, crossy!

12:49 pm

Bye Crossy

12:49 pm

tc all and happy babbling...poink

12:49 pm

whenever I see French words in the grid, I type them in, just in case

12:49 pm

I feel like a mo5/12

12:49 pm

bye, crossy!

12:50 pm

thx for that one too, ruby :-)

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

12:51 pm

I give up! Good night everybody

12:51 pm

I hope tomorrow is a big one

12:51 pm

12:51 pm

Night Ruby!

12:52 pm

12:52 pm

Hi Skinny

12:52 pm

12:53 pm

12:53 pm

well, if you only eat one, I raise my hat to you1

12:53 pm

you!

12:54 pm

Quick, eat some salad and do that diet math thing!

12:54 pm

(still working on the da** shift key on this rubber keyboard)

12:54 pm

my mom made them + sent them home for hubby, but he doesnt really eat them. honestly, theyre not that good!

12:54 pm

still jealous

12:54 pm

heh, molly, already had a side salad with my jr cheeseburger from wendys for lunch. ;)

12:55 pm

<--- Instantly depressed at the thought of a chocolate chip cookie that doesn't taste good

12:55 pm

something like that I would take to work and give to the graduate students :-)

12:55 pm

yup

12:55 pm

mom made them from one of those buckets of dough you buy from school fundraisers. the flavor is ok at best, but i prefer my cookies slightly underdone, and these just arent soft enough for my taste...

12:56 pm

Oh, say no more. Fundraiser food. Ickity.

12:56 pm

thats what i do whenever i bake at home. keep a small plate for hubby + roomie (and myself) and take the rest to work for the coworkers.

1:04 pm

OK, I am up to 46 requests in gardens of time. better play again :-)

1:06 pm

Jo5 anyone. pls

1:06 pm

jo + butting animal

1:06 pm

nm tx

1:07 pm

silly word

1:14 pm

this is a hard puzzle...i thought it was gonna be easy because there are so little bit of words in it!

1:15 pm

the little ones are always mean.

1:15 pm

and tricky

1:15 pm

Fireworks for me!

1:15 pm

i cant even imagine many 6 letter words in there, let alone 7 and 8!!

1:15 pm

Evil, nasty, tricksy small grids.

1:15 pm

great job hego...proof that it can be done :)

1:16 pm

I couldn't have done it without my monkeys.

1:16 pm

They were hard working today

1:18 pm

Clues anyone before I go?

1:19 pm

Bye till tomorrow, then.

1:19 pm

Poof!

1:44 pm

I'm doing well, jes, taking my son to see my dad next week

1:45 pm

1:50 pm

and my dad is 90

1:50 pm

ah, no porobs with long car ride then :)

1:51 pm

not at all, although he was quite good about it even when little

1:51 pm

i was imagining that trip with a 5 year old...

1:52 pm

I would pile him in the back seat with his gameboy and a lot of books, and a miner's helmet (toy one) with a light so he could read in the dark, and he was fine

1:52 pm

excellent

1:53 pm

anyway, i am off for a bit, bbl!

1:53 pm

enjoy your aftrenoon!

2:28 pm

Hi! Just starting as I was doing things like dusting and putting away stuff.

hi all, and my phantom is crouton

2:42 pm

I also like crouton but nothing shaking for it.

i do not care for stale bread on my salad

2:52 pm

hi all, back from a lovely time at the beach

3:10 pm

Hi Soodle

3:10 pm

27 left, bbs

3:11 pm

Hey Molls :-). Could you perhaps give a lickle clue for the NO 8, please?

3:12 pm

Well, if you're a Harry Potter fan, it's the name of an alley. If not, I'll clue it differently.

3:14 pm

co 6 pls

3:14 pm

Erm... Not THAT much of a HP fan, Molly, could you try another clue, please?

3:15 pm

3:16 pm

3:24 pm

Great. Thanks Molly.

3:35 pm

Nothing like the smell of charcoal on a Summer Eve.

3:36 pm

Nothing like the smell of charcoal around here. Its bucketing down with rain! We have had the grand total of 2 bbq's this year. Summer???

3:40 pm

Watching 'Ghost' on TV. Great movie!

stats on the 8?

3:44 pm

See Molly's clue at 3.15, Kap.

3:44 pm

no 8/50

just wanted stat thank you!

3:44 pm

I love "Ghost". I get to hear Patrick Swayze say "I love you Molly" : )

3:45 pm

that was a good movie

3:45 pm

LOL Moll! He has just said 'Ditto'!

3:45 pm

That and "A Few Good Men" are the only movies I can tolerate Demi Moore in.

3:46 pm

Keep watching Soodle.

3:46 pm

don't know that i've even seen her in any others

Demi Moore needs to deal with the fact that she will be 50.

3:48 pm

Never happen Kap. That is why she married the boy toy.

3:48 pm

many of us have, and others will

3:48 pm

hi again, all! back for my last 32 :-P

How long do you think Kutscher and Moore will last?

3:48 pm

Hi Sue

3:48 pm

hi sue

3:48 pm

She is clearly subscribing to the '50 is the new 25' theory.

3:48 pm

I'm surprised they've lasted this long, actually.

3:49 pm

Hey Sue!

Celebrities are narcissistically disturbed.

3:49 pm

Also the theory that 30 goes into 50 better than 50 goes into 30. (Shame on me)

3:49 pm

hi, molly, doren, soodle!

I watched the Ryan and Tatum reality show and came to the conclusion that these people do not feel they exist unless they see themselves on screen

Bad one, Molly

3:50 pm

The 'Unchained Melody' bit is on now... pardon me while I gawp unashamedly at the sheer emotion of it all...

3:50 pm

God bless the O'Neal family. They are such a mess.

3:50 pm

sheer emotionality, to be sure

3:50 pm

Gawp away Soodle.

But I insist that Lady Gaga is more psychologically healthy and will neither die young nor require rehab

3:51 pm

outfit

3:51 pm

often

SUCH a mess. I could make a fortune if I were a Hollywood therapist

3:51 pm

aakkk sorry

3:51 pm

that's it, dorens!

thanks dorens!

3:51 pm

Sheesh......Molly!!!! How can I watch the emotional scene while rolling on the floor laughing at your 30 in 50 post????

3:51 pm

*Stares at Kap with that HUH WHAT? look*

No- really. I am serious.

3:52 pm

Free clues! Gecher free clues here! : )

3:52 pm

nope, i'm done

3:52 pm

i don't mean fireworks, i mean done giving free clues

3:53 pm

Encore, Dorens, encore.....

3:53 pm

Kap, we can agree to disagree on that. Gaga is a HUGE narcissist.

3:53 pm

how many entertainers are NOT?

She knows what she is doing and is in control of her act. Different from being narcissistically empty- as in HAS no "self"

3:54 pm

Don't know what you mean, Molly. I wear dresses made out of raw meat all the time, and I'm not a narcissist.

3:54 pm

I actually kinda like gaga

Aw, Molly- don't be a drag- just be a queen!

3:55 pm

ruru. made my first farro today. wow. this stuff is so wonderful

3:55 pm

:D

3:55 pm

Farro??

Same with Madonna- she wasn't going to burn out early--too calculated...

3:56 pm

italian kind of wheat... very healthy very delicious

3:56 pm

it's a whole grain (wheat), isn't it, dorens? How do you make it?

Tatum O'Neal on the other hand- thinly held together by rehab talk

3:56 pm

And what do you make with this wheat?

because her dad dumped her for Farro Fawcett.

3:57 pm

cooked it with bay leaf and a dried ancho chile, then combined it with chard, onion, garlic, shallot, roasted broccoli, lemon zest,

Speaking of Farro.

3:57 pm

yumm

3:57 pm

right on time, yes kap?

3:57 pm

*Goes to get bald, eunuch looking men to carry me through the chog in an egg*

Farro Fawcett Majors.

3:57 pm

huh???

3:57 pm

lol molly

3:58 pm

doren doesn't watch the grammies

3:58 pm

It's a Gaga thing Dorens.

Huh what?

3:58 pm

you caught me!

3:58 pm

Get them to peel you a couple of grapes as well, Molly.

3:58 pm

do you eat it hot or cold, dorens/ (I could imagine it as a salad)

3:58 pm

but now i figured it out. and i did see her meat dress

3:58 pm

hot

Chog is getting unwrapped again

3:59 pm

room temp sue, how i do most things, particularly if i prepare them ahead of time

3:59 pm

did her dress go sur-loin?

3:59 pm

ah, sounds good!

it's not my fault- I was Born This Way.

3:59 pm

Do you make bread/pasta out of the farro?

3:59 pm

lol

3:59 pm

i've seen lots of farro salad recipes... spent a lot of time looking them up, then combined different elements no, soodle, not me

You all need to watch Lisa Kudrow's "Web Therapy"

4:00 pm

I wasn't, but my Poker Face takes me far.

4:00 pm

that sounds farro - out doren

Ryan still has Farro's little red bathing suit.

4:00 pm

oh no, who started him on this?

4:00 pm

Oh, I would have to pass on that Kap. Lisa, and all the "Friends" make me gag.

No- it's a whole different thing- she does this therapist who does on-line therapy in 3 minute sessions and it is hysterically funny- nothing to do with Friends. It's an online series and also now on showtime.

She's aggressive and crazy and really funny. And I did not start this conversation.

It is a must for all psychologists-in-training.

4:03 pm

did so.. did so

Trust me Molly- would I steer you wrong?

4:03 pm

There once was a lady called Bessy, Who went to Lough Ness to see Nessy, She slipped in some mud, With a terrible thud, and Bessy saw Nessy all messy.

don't get me started on Limmericks.

Time for our medication!

4:05 pm

Dont get me started on the Good Ship Venus....

4:05 pm

oh.. boy. I can tell where this is going

4:05 pm

4:06 pm

I trust anyone who has the wealth of Allan Sherman knowledge that you do Kap.

4:07 pm

she might not survive on it.. this is experimental... three months to see if she can help raise enough money to make a difference, and then they will pay her decently (right now it's 2 K a month, which in nyc is less than rent, right?) but her bf is helping out during the experimental phasse

4:11 pm

she's got lots of guts...

Lord, yes...

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

Lol I bet

Happy Birthday, Lucy!

4:13 pm
