Good evening Can't s
Can't sleep
Hello chic. do you need to sleep? if not necessary then don't lie about waiting for sleep. The more you wait the more awake you get.
Yes I should sleep I'm in hosp. It's 3:35am
Dear me chic. Is it a noisy ward? When my son was born my room was directly opposite the bottle-washing room and they started work in there at 4.30 am. Good practice I guess!
hello again. 88 before lunch and I've come to a screeching halt!
{{scouser}}
chic, can the nurses give you something for sleeping?
My air bed is very noisy. I'm already fairly medicated
Just need to let go and sleep
rbud, your an7 clue is very funny
Hi ruby. I also am paused as so many near-misses in this grid. I am going to make an early lunch as I have funeral to go to afterwards. Cheers to Ruby and Chic. I have an airbed at home and it has a little orchestra of small groans in there somewhere which strikes up as soon as I get the edge, but it is so comfortable I suffer the music.
is the weather appropriately glomy for a funeral?
gloomy*
Bbl
No ruby - is it sunny but there is a goodly breeze so .... no hat today. I must switch off the computer or I will get no lunch. Byee
Good day to all.
Well, I must leave for work. Bye lurkers.
hello everyone :)

((huggles back)) am ok. is 9.30pm and need to sleep, but of course I can't. Will hang out here for a while and attempt something normal before middnight
if its any consolation my sleep is messed up too ( why i have no idea other than too much to think about...but is not all bad stuffs that am thinking about )
i slept from 12- 3... was awake from 3- 4:30...and slept from 4:30- 7
you too huh?
i have been doing this for more than 2 weeks now
insomnia hunny
my bags have their own set of luis vuitton luggage
6 yrs of insomnia here - getting a sleep study in two weeks

its the*
on top of which i now have a peeling sunburn AND a cold. i feel miserable.
yes, sleep is just the most necessary part of life carlee
have a bath with some vinegar in it...the vinegar kills the sting..and will open the sinuses...and the heat will ease the achies
sinuses not clogged yet, i'm at the beginning stage where it's a really sore throat.
well..will take the sting out of the sunburn ( sounds crazy i know..but it works)
thanks for the tip
just a nice warm not hot bath
:)

morning, all!
reading back in the chog - I am having sleep trouble as well, maybe it is old age? (or stress?)
hi sue!! :)) playing around in here and on lex! how you going hun??
ok, mrp, how about you?
stress for sure!!
sounds like!!!
just saw your post about lickety's job offer - that is so great!
it sure is! means we will be travelling to the States often!
ooooh - where?
Oh I so want him to succeed in this! It would help us enormously and I could do business in the states myself too
I will ask lickety... hang on
(big place, after all...)
MASSACHUSETTS if that is the spelling!??
Hi
cool - I went to college there! Very nice area. Boston, I am guessing, or the Route 128 corridor (used to be lots of high tech there, I am guessing there still is)
hi, herin!
yes, Boston
I really would like to live there.
Howdy.
He would be the Managing Director of Asia/Pacific area... just an amazing job
You can't leave me in AUs :(
hi infern :))
Boston is pretty cool. Lots to do there and for a city it isn't huge.
wow, that is fabulous!
well, it is a darn sight ! looked it up.... just beautiful
I do hope he gets it.
I won't infern... I live here, I look after my family here... I will just be accompanying my husband
I have been helping my poor neighbour out
so do I infern... they want him for the job... they have told him he has it. It is logistics now.
he would be an amazing managing director
and of all of Asia Pacific!! I just want to feint thinking about it!
is your neighbour in trouble infern??
well, I was already planning to be in Massachusetts next May for my 40th college reunion, so keep me posted, mrp!
Yes. Her ex is being a SOB. I brought her a 12 kilo bag of dog food for her dog. I got it on special
and I think Kaplan lives in Boston...
And Trifs
Speak of the devil...
I will sue! we will be there from November onward
oh, dear, herin, exes can be such a rotten nuisance (and even dangerous...)
hi kap :))
well, hi, kap, haven't seen you for ages!!
How can I be of service?
I've been here off and on.
mrp might be moving to Boston!!
Hi Kap.
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I intend to bring my children over... only if I allowed to carry a gun in the states that allow others to carry guns
It is ok I have advised her of the best plan to make him not be a complete moron
Mrp to Boston? With Lickety?
any clues for the et8,45 please
I hear the weather is fabulous in Boston... has all the lovely seasons
yes kap... read back
guns are not as common here as you might think, mrp, especially in that part of the country
I am very proud of him... he has proven himself to be amazing with this company
and New England has fabulous fall color, people come from all over to see it
You hear the weather is fabulous in Boston? Yeah- for about 20 days a year. ;)
Mr Pres can I have a word with you on FB for 5 min
winters can be a little annoying...
et plus vowel then coal m....s
understand sue, but if I am in texas, I wanna be able to carry... it is very unfair on visitors that we can't be in line with your laws
All the lovely seasons is true. Winter sucks. We specialize in autumn.
but we are expected to follow your laws
thx, cool, that got me a 7 and an 8!
hi cool! long time no see :)
Hi Cool
I want a real winter!
<--- has never owned a gun, even in Oklahoma
Oh, it's real OK
with snow and sparkling ice and all the danger that comes with it
Guns?
and don't worry, mrp, Texas is thousands of km from Massachusetts, and pretty much a different planet
thank goodness sue!
in the city the ice only sparkles for a few minutes, then it gets pretty dirty :-)
Mr Pres can I have a word?
yeah ive been really busy at work plus had my wisdom teeth out yesterday so in pain off work sick feeling really sorry for myself today
Yellow snow, piles of dirty snow, scraping your car, falling all over the place when you try to reach the parking meter, snow days from school,..
I am just not happy to come to a country where people carry guns, so will keep to the states with sensible laws
mrp, we are keeping you busy - go talk to herin!!
sure infern, bbs peoples
Texas is not even the same planet as Massachusetts.
Sorry have to tell MR Pres something
Wind chill of 10 below zero (F), snow emergency parking restrictions, dark before 4 PM...can't wait.
Gimme Swelter, as the Stones said.
any clues for the ma8,45 pleasw
yeah, I used to think Massachusetts was cold until I moved to Illinois :-)
I know, but we complain louder than midwesterners and Minnesotans.
ma8 plural of word for early showing of a movie
true, we are very stoic :-)
hi, all :-)
We have had a lovely stretch of summer weather this week- even when it rained.
Hi Unes
ma8 you go to the cinema and watch them in afternoon
thx, une! another 7 and 8!
yw :-)
In this grid is a Boston pronunciation of a vodka drink with an olive in it.
lol, kap!
and sh4- a nice word.
Why is Mr Pres moving to Boston?
Lickety has a job! (or at least an offer)
got it kap
the office he would be visiting is in Lexington
Not too far from me.
he has a job already, but has been offered a very lucrative job with a US company
Lucrative- go for it.
mrp - come to New Hampshire - good morning
I will be coming all over the place!!
New Harmpshire- "Live, Freeze and Die"
I am so looking forward to visiting you all in the states that have invited me!!
Hampshire even.
I am an hour and a half away from Boston
I will meet you if you don't have a gun.
lol Kap
Isn't it New Hamster?
m
dont make fun of my beautiful state....
hello everyone, good morning
hello Herin and Annie
Your state is Keene.
my sister's daughter and her sons live in New Hampshire - haven't seen her since her wedding so that would give me an excuse :-) (some pix of them in my profile)
Hi River

hi all
I luv it when I am reffing a game with Lane Cove... people on the sideline, obviously from the other team, yell out UNCO!
you can come down and visit DC where we keep passing laws to get rid of guns and Congress keeps overturning them
mrp you must come to Phila. I live in a suburb of Phila
right here where I am - I live 2 towns over from hopkinton
hi peri!!! timtams??????
hi peri
hi peri :)
no tim tams for periwinkle :(
sooooo, if I come to Boston... will we have a babble convention??

no friggin chance you don't get them!
yes i would come to boston for that!
ok mrp, thanks

i would luv to do it! we would have a blast!!
trif and car live in MA - dont you Kap - bichon is in CT - maybe we could get her to come up. There are a couple other babblers in NH
we could even make a weekend of it!! invite babblers from all over. I reckon I could throw a bloody brilliant party for you all!
now your talking!
i live in new yoark. is that how that say it in boston?
okay i am off to my garden before it gets too hot bbl
you are not far - come on over ivesy
you too Annie
always wanted to see that area
I am well known for my party planning and we would have an incredible time!
bye, jmc!
bye jmc
ives... you are gonna come to this party, it is gonna be amazing
lots of babblers in NY and NJ - you could bring Scrabbler with you, ivesy :-)
we have to organise it as soon as lickety gets the go ahead. I need a little help finding a venue we can all stay at, and one that is easy enough for people to get to
OMG! I am so so excited!!
what would we all do?
kap, we would have a ball!
just babble at each other?
well HELLO, Yetta. and hello to you to Kap :)
eat laugh and be merry
Hello, Peri.
scrabbler and I could have talked all night, I think - I'm sure we'd have a great time all getting to know each other
literally!! a dress up and darling cocktail party and I am a very good party planner! Then, the next morning, we would do the Aussie brunch... you will all love that!
Dress up?????????????
dress up?????
Mr PRes you couldn't go to the states you would miss out on Vegimite and tim tams
I dont think that little black number fits me anymore....hmmm....shopping anyone?
yeah, I dunno about the dress up part :-)
my idea of dress up is to wash my jeans and tshirts lol
dress up? I am more the casual, sporty type
you can get vegemite here
careful on that word, PB risky.
no vege in the grid :-)
:)
you can dress anything sporty up!!
all I know is, this job will get me to the US and I get to meet you all :)
*walks out of chog in sequined blue jeans and dress t-shirt with lace collar* *poof*
if lickety gets the job will you molve to the states?
I will look forward to that mrp
move even?
no peri, he will be managing director in Asia/Pacific
oh ok
so I will stillhave a ploace to stay when I visit Australia?
i thought you said you'd be moving to Boston
I will get myself something special to celebrate the occassion... that is for sure
sheesh, can't type
no kap, I said he would have to come to Boston regularly
and I will be coming with him
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
and there is nothing like travelling business class :)
I never knew Grade 3 maths was so damn hard till tonight
help with bottom a pls
I think I said mrp would be moving, was a little unclear on the exact details - sorry if I confused everyone!!!
clue for the ji410 please
bl
Shortened version of James ... swop last two letters
ha, had that word in the grid before, someone clued it as a belief in j :-)
ji4/10 is a vulgar term for ejaculate
anyway, time for my pathetic little bit of exercise, bbs
What is this Exercise you speak of
ty
see ya sue!
hi norma :)
hi bea :)
Hello, MRP
Hi Mrp .... was feeling well left out, all you meeting up ...
i think I need to sleep.... too many medical examinations today... too much to think about. I may come to the US for treatment actually. This would be a sign from God if he gets the job... I can get insurance and get help in the US
Norma, they have offices in the UK too!
he will be travelling
That sounds good mrp .... let us know when you are heading this way
hello Norma
sweet dreams mrp
Hi River .... sweet dreams mrp
Boston has some great hospitals mrp
see ya all :) so praying this works out!!
we have our fingers and toes crossed
thanks girls!! luv to all and chat soon :))
good morning everyone
good luck to you and Lickety ((MrP))
good morning ((Mom))
MOooooooom
hi, mom! (pathetic little bit of exercise is already done)
((River)) good morning
Hi uusue, any exercise beats no exercise at all
exactly my thinking :-)
also I walk to work and back which adds another 40 minutes
that is great that you do that uusue
(fast I am not)
you don't want to go too fast, bad for the knees
yes, my knees have really been acting up the past few days (not because of excessive speed, either!!)
I am talking about a 20-minute per mile pace, shouldn't be strenuous at all
my ortho doctor told me many years ago .... for every pound of weight you lose it is 3 pounds off your knees
yes, I really need to lose weight, am trying but it is so hard!
I think the older we get the harder it is
it sure is - my metabolism has come to a dead stop
ain't that the truth, River
gm
if your metabolism had stopped... you'd be dead ; )
hello kje
good morning ((KJE)) haven't seen you in ages. I hope all is well
well its sure at a slow crawl then...lol
hi (((MOM)))!!!
well, and not being able to do much exercise doesn't help
doing well
hi, kje!
lol a very slow crawl
have had both knees replaced, and three fusion surgeries in my neck - makes it hard to do much of anything (neck is pretty much healed but knees sure are sore)
time for my breakfast - be back in a bit
So glad to hear that KJE
bye ((River))
yikes sue - you are too young for all that
apparently not :-P
Exk I can't keep up
one of my most favorite cookies is in the grid .... an 5/10
((Herin)) hello dear
not my favorite flavor, mom, but I just got some seeds to grow some
I pounced on you ages ago
my 2 fave physics terms are in the grid
I am so sorry, Herin, I didn't see that
there is a bakery here that makes the most delicious ones. I look forward to them
nice, kje :-)
what are the stats for them, KJE?
the oh one was named after a physicist; the other one is the same word spelled backwards :-)
I have the oh 4/6 word
the reason they are clever, is that one is the inverse property of the other... thus the fact they spelled one backwards is funny
a little physics cleveress
we have our moments :-)
it looks like 80% of these words are going to have an n in them... that will be annoying for me
anyway, mom, take off the s, reverse the letters, and put the s back on
thanks uusue, got it
kje, you don't like the letter N
ok, my computer is acting up, time to reboot. need to shower and get breakfast anyway; bbl!
it sticks
so i often have to enter those words multiple times
bye bye Uusue
oh dear, that stinks
back--i can't get myself out the door so came back
bye uu
good morning jmc, why can't you get out the door?
Hi JM and bye anyone I mised
hi kje--did you find out you might be available oct 8th or 9th?
inertia mom
i need someone to shove me some days
hi herin
glad you came back to sit for a spell
I am on the wards... so if you get up to the DFW area, I can see you, but I ca't leave town... I will be on for 28 days straight no day off
austin is too far for a quick drive down for the evening
hmmm well i will have a car and i do not object to driving--does sw still have cheap shuttles to dfw?
no idea
dfw is about 3.5 hours from austin, almost 5 from houston
we are kind of a large state ; )
well i will nail my plans down better when i get closer to the date--thinking of flying into houston and driving to austin and then driving back to houston
that is what i did the last time i came
i know i did grow up in houston
why not fly into austin?
maybe i could swing back by dallas on my "way" to houston
i want to spend some time with my friends in houston
hahahahaha
not eve close, jmc
the last time i did it that way to pick up my sister who lives in galveston
ah, yes, then houston would be closest to galveston
my sister from here and i flew down, met my sister from galveston and drove up to austin to visit my sister up there
we went by wimberly where we had a memorable family vacation when i was about 4
complete with fairies and giants and a rattlessnake
lol
sounds like it was fun
i love driving and i love driving in texas only second to driving the nachez trace
well i had a memory of the wimberly hole that i thought was a childhood exaggeration that turned out to be true--that thing is the most amazing color
time to start my day, I hope everyone has a great one. ((Hugs)) to all of you
there are some dinosaur sites between austin and dallas
hello again
bye mom
hello ((Ruby)) and bye for now
well, october is state fair time, so could do that in dallas... you would eed to google the exact dates this year. And you are welcome to couch crash anytime. Just realize I do have to work daily so you will be o your own for parts of the time
bye jmc
hagd mom
yes, glen rose area, jmc
(((KJE))) thanks, you as well
if i swung up that way it would only be for a day unless i decided to fly into dfw instead of houston
okay thanks for more to think about for that trip kje--it is mostly on someone else's dime so i want to make the most of it
OK, let me know as plans firm up... that way I'll know to sweep or something ; )
hi and bye ruby
haha
*poof*
this is our first really hot day and I llove it, nothing hurts!!!!
enjoy ruby... we are hot day # 1, 034, 768
in Austin, they've had more than 40 days over 100
us too
at least, here it cools off at night and we have rain every other night or so, so everything is green
this place has a truly temperate climate, rarely goes above 90F
everything is brown here... my law crucnches if i walk on it
that's what my son says
he lives on the Austin green space where a branch of the river flows and it's all dried up now
I guess Barton Creek connects with the Little Colorado
yes, i was down near glen rose last weekend and the brazos was almost dry

Gooooooood morning!
hi car
howdy car
hello car
Hi anyone I missed
howdy herin
Morning all
howdy bob
Sorry have a snark at the news
Phffth. The news is about the best comedy on television these days.
Judi in this case it is sad but bloody stupid. Once again a OMFG Pit bull killed a small kid. Turns out it is a ''pit bull cross'' it is likely to be a pig dog. Just pisses me off the anti hate over pit bulls when it is moron owners that let their dogs roam and do what ever they like. Also that said DNA test the dog before saying it was a pitty
herin I have a pit mix and she is the bigest sweety there is
oates
ooops sorry
Crazy. I think it should be a pre-requisite that you have to have an IQ higher than a dog to actually own one.
*dogs* rather.
hi again, all, agree about the dog owners
I just think it is so sad that a kid dies because this dog just roamed about.
In case you are wondering a Pig dog is usually a mixed breed and highly agressive.
A1 I love pitties it is the owners and the media that make it impossible.
You are right.
any dog can be dangerous if poorly trained; the bigger they are the more threat they pose
Ours thinks she is a chihuahua and wants to be in your lap all the time
She doesnt fit
lol, a1, our 75-pound labradoodle likes to get in my partner's lap too
su5?
doesn't fit either
It was my b.fs little dog that got me over my fear of little dogs (when she was alive). I was lunged at by a husky the other day because it wanted to play and the owner didn't control it. I wasn't afraid of the dog but could have been. I just snapped SIT and the owner was rather shocked I put it in its place
Sue my friends Douge does that
Except the douge weighs about 120 pounds
our dog does occasionally get in fights with other dogs, though, especially if they are close to her size; not sure why, but we rescued her when she was already 4+ years old - don't know what her early life was like
good morning, everyone :)
Hi Cyber.
manse
dang sorry I keep doing that
See Sue simple solution to that issue is muzzle the dog when walking and never let it roam
ooh, missed that one, a1!
Just got up not real with it yet
I had that one
well, she is always on leash, herin, so usually Frank is able to keep her in check - after the first time he knows to be alert if other dogs are nearby
and in 2 years it's only happened once, so probably not worth the muzzle (he usually walks her on the street or in the alley, so dogs can't sneak up on them)
Sue one of my friends other dogs is muzzled when she is walked as she dislikes kids and skate boards. She was hurt by kids as a pup. I have fun walking her with the muzzle. People move then freak out when you pet her snout through the muzzle
Sera is fine with kids and everything else except other large dogs that get too fresh :-) (and rabbits and squirrels...)
But rabbits and squirrels can out run dogs
anyway she is really Frank's dog, and he is really good with dogs, so I leave it up to him
yes, exactly
Awwww
Unless you are the bunnies on my friends farm and they just are too cheeky and saunter about
and as I say, now that he knows there's a risk with other large dogs he's on his guard if they are around, and there haven't been any more problems
and the one dog she did mix it up with has a history of suddenly attacking other dogs
no, our bunnies are quite shy :-)
Time to get away from the phone for a while (ringing off the bloody hook) and go do my filing. BBL.
bye, judi!
*!* ta da *!* - a lot of little babblets today!
is anybody playing?
how many words are in this puzzle?
I'm here, trying to get a few more before I list
Aha -- Nan, help on the ma9?

principal sail
congrats nan
ty river
fireworks for me
mainsail -- no
^5 river
lmbo at 140 and i have 36

It's not the sail, it's the rope, Erda
wow, thx for that, river! and now I have to run to work, meeting at 10!
on my way out -- back at the flip -- have a good day everyone :)

I got it -- but I never heard of that word...
just one?
is there a lesser sheet? Geez...
there are several each day I have never heard of lol
minorsheet lol
yeah -- ridiculous
wow, this is a nice grid!! hope you all enjoying it too
ooooh, got the 9 very easy! likey likey likey
(((mrp)))
(((crossy!))) ** kisses **
just read your update mrp, so sorry.
yeah doxy... such a bugger. But have spoken to my witnesses today and they are ready to go. They can't believe he has gotten away with the lies. I am going to do what the court asks of me... prove that I fear for my safety with reasonable grounds. He will just attack me personally (discredit & disrepute me), and the court will see right through that!
my prayers are with you.
it is just a formality... yesterday that is... but was very upset that I didn't get an 'interim APVO'
and I pray with you doxy... thank you!
so sorry mrp,but not to worry,his lies need more lies to keep his cover and eventually he will be nailed and as you are only telling the truth,it will shine through his smokescreen
maybe his lawyer is fed up with his lies too.
indeed crossy.... i have evidence of his lies that he told in court yesterday... I just have to first start with that... make the court see he is a liar, and then contest that I am fearful of my life because of his actions. I need to keep it simple and have excellent witnesses
well, he stood up and said he was 'represented', but I don't believe for a second he was. the lawyer he had was in court at the same time and didn't look at him, talk to him, acknowledge him... he has been dumped for sure
and when I rang the lawyer to ask for him to ring me back regarding his client, I never got a call back.
certainly sounds a little fishy there
he is also trying to get statements under duress, pretty sure the court doesn't like that
sounds like his "defense" is falling apart now
and remember,the courts hate having their time wasted.if he is dragging this on,they will crucify him.keep yours simple and to the point
he was to produce all evidence, witness list and statements by 25th July... he didn't. He put the papers in on 5th August, and never sent me the copies, as ordered by the court... he said in court yesterday he didn't realise he had to do that. Does that indicate he has a lawyer?? Cause that is a basic request.
he is just putting the nails in his own coffin
doxy, he chased an alleged witness down the road in his car... overtook the car and stopped the 'witness' so that they couldn't pass. he then asked them to produce a statement and they said NO! He said he would subpeona them and they said, 'go ahead! do it'! It will cost him about $500 for them to come to court if he loses.
lol. he is getting really desperate
yes doxy... I am just in shock that I didn't get an interim APVO... was so disappointing :(
hi again all
hi carlee!
hi carlee
he is very desperate.... he approached a neighbour of one of our friends up the road.... you ready for this one????
remember the "justice" system isn't perfect.
he asked her to write a statement saying that she had seen my husband making 'bombs' in her neighbours backyard!!
this guy is a goofball
hahahaha....some people are so funny....am sorry MRP..i know is very serious...but the absurdity is sidesplitting {{hugs}}
the police say he should be locked up... but they can't do a thing about it... the law sucks so bad.
maybe you'll get lucky and he'll be put in jail for perjory.
He got a 19 year old kid to sign a statement for him (this kid worked for him), and threatened to take him under subpeona... of course, the young man was not interested in being 'dragged' to court, so he wrote a statement. It has nothing in the statement. The Prick is very very desperate!
desparate ?? sorry, spelling issues at 1am
the neighbor should be called to testify the guy was attempting to suborn perjury.
thats ok, spelling issues at 9am. was on call last night and had multiple calls so no sleep
she can't BR, she is scared of him and has 4 children... single mother... she is very frightened of him
i can only tell the court this, and I have a witness who can testify that she heard the conversation and how frightened she is for me and her family
and I only have to prove 2 things....
sounds like he is screwed
I am fearful of him, and I have reasonable grounds for this fear.
that is how I will play it out in court... however, he will discredit me, disrepute me, lie and hopefully lose his basket of cookies in front of the judge
I would love to be there to see him get his dues
he isn't fearful of me... he was more than satisfied to walk up to where I was sitting 3 weeks ago, only 2 metres from me... and have his 'associates' abuse me
he cannot produce a single document to say he is fearful of me... all his documents just 'write me off'.
he is using the courts to disrepute me... he will be in a lot of trouble.
ok...getting my duff in gear..gotta fax off transcript requests... and pick up a few groceries....
he is trying to save his own skin, and it will backfire big time
{{{mrp}}} stay strong... sending monster hugs hun
later carlee
and whatever he says in court is recorded and available to the public. Watch out for a website when this is over, with all the court's demands
see ya carle!! thanks luvvy
take care doxy
I will put up a site with all the court requests... black out certain information to protect myself, and he can't remove it at all :))
sounds good mrp.
if anyone looks up his name, that will be the first thing that comes up!
inten
oops, sorry
gimme a grid word luv!! LOL!!
not doing very well, too tired. and I have to get my butt in gear and go to work
far enough darling... I am going now as i am exhausted
39 left, will see you later. hugs mrp. hang in there, you are a great person.
nighters all :) thanks for listening... **hugs**
bye for now
luv to you doxy. thanks so much for your support!!
big crossy bear hugs for (((mrp)))
luv ya crossy!! ***hugs*** back baby! 'poof'!
hugs to mrpresident
phantom "teenise" "manatee"
now there is a rare babblet mh4/6

you are only half right
another phantom - it was an hour-delayed-response to crossy
no sense hurrying
heh - I'm tending to the 3 rugrats while playing :)
i am on hold with the irs
god i love this job! haha
ugh - good luck with that. I did that last week - needed a copy of a 501-c-3 letter...it took about 45 minutes for something that could have easily been done online
you should be able to call ogden directly harry
I called someplace directly, but the hold time was enormous
i am paid by the hour for this stuff so i really am content except the hold music is so god awful
hah put it on speaker and set the volume low ;0
well they do have millions of customers and don't have millions of staff
the people who want to cut the government and then complain about governmental customer service drive me nuts
well most of this stuff could be so easily automated
well more and more of it is being automated--i have been calling the irs for 30 years
and the irs could be so much smaller if the tax code weren't so difficult
well that is congress's fault and everyone who thinks their situation is the one that shouldn't be taxes
god bless warren buffet!
remember that british show where her name was bucket, but she pronounced it bouquet
haha yes
I'm stuck at 55...ready to list
but he doesn't pronounce it like the smorgasbord
wtg harry i have 97 left
somebody should suggest to warren that he insist people prounounce his name like that
his Omaha friends will have coronaries
haha that would be funny but just the opposite of who he is!

yes elle, I am in the middle of Wales
oh me too!!!!
hi bichon
the Tarrell is a small river that runs thro Brecon
where are you Elle?
Hello Glant in the middle of Wales. I'm in the Bay Area of California visiting grands
That is right, and my house sits right beside it
Between Aber and Mach
you??
Not many people know that so I think you must be very local?
I'm on th edge of Brecon
No way I am from Brecon
San Francisco Bay Bichon?Never been there, just San Diego and Poway in California
Is Wales mostly mountainous
yes it is Bichon
Yes, Wales is full of hills and mountains
Elle, where between Mach and Aber? I stayed in Mach a coupe of weekends ago and regularly drive by
The Bay Area of San Francisco is probably one of the most famous places in the US. It has the Golden Gate Bridge and lots of other things
My Mum still lives there
in Brecon
where in Brecon?
I am in Artists Valley
Ger Y Tarrell
I drove up artists valley the Saturday before last - beautiful
haha small world
do you live in Llanfaes?
I know Cwrt Tarell, and Parc Tarell
My house is the one next door to Stoneleigh Manor
ah ok, my Nan is in Adelaide gardens
I'v been trying to sell it since March :-(
dont think I know Stoeleigh
Ah I know Adelaide Gardens
Stoneleigh Manor is the old jail governor's hpuse on Newgate Street where they have putthe new traffic lights because of the new houses where Gittoes Fields were - Parc tarell
ah ok I know, it's so different now since when I was living back there
Is you family anything to do with the army surplus store called jay jats?
*jay jays
no
my family name is Davies
It's a beautiful town and I'll be sad to leave, but it's not good for me or the planet for me to do a 70 mile round trip commute each day
such a rare name in Wales LOL
oh, where do you work?
Nantgarw, between Pontypridd and Caerphilly
oooh long way
yes :-( especially through the storey arms in snow and ice
I miss the Beacons, was down a few weeks ago tho
I'm sure I willl miss them too, but it is very beautiful where you are, and I love Mach
how many words do you have left??
This is my first game
I have 53 left
it's a very good game, and the chat is often very interesting too - how did you find out about it?
ooh well done, we have 61
a friend who is staying at the mo
You may find Lickety's Babble Clues helpful - it's a link at the bottom of the page
and other people help when you get stuck
oh yes just worked one out with Lickety ty
i usually forget stupid things like plurals and 4 letter words LOL
the other thing is thagt there are often spanish words and american spellings - e.g parlor instead of parlour and they often catch me out too
ok ty
are those your initials elle?
Hi wildcat
hi hi
My name is Lesley
Nice to meet you Lesley
There are one or two other players here form Wales but they seem to play at different times of day to me so I rerely 'see' them
how does the scoring work
do either of you have a clue for the ca6/24? It's baffling me
no sorry
there is a number on each letter tile, if the word is 4 leters it is just adding those numbers. Once you get to 5 letter words, you add the numbers then double it
after that I haven't worked it out :-) but it mutiplies up
ok thenks
when you get really really stuck you can resort to the 'morewords' website
oh whats that?
ah found it
just google 'morewords' and you will find it - it is an online word list which is searchable and very useful for this game, scrabble and other word games
more words is a good thing
ok ty
Hi Sadie
hiya Glantarell
morewords is a geat thing (but it does feel like cheating :-)
yea it does
but when you are totaly frustrated it makes ya feel better lol
however, i usually end up resorting to it to finish
I cant see us finishing this
do you have the ca6/24 sadie? can't see it
today is not a bad grid lesley
nope but lokin for it
lookin
sometimes they are 300 words or more
but the first few you do will be hard until you start to recognise very odd small words that appea quite often - people here call them 'babblets'
sometimes the grids are absolute pigs = there was one like that last weekend
ca6.24 snakes up tyhe left hand side of the grid
got the ca6 thanks
just before you gave me the hint Lyn - hi
Hi
Lesley, the ca6 is just like a deep pink wlesh wild flower which comes out in May - a red ca***** but without the p
oooh
and there are two common 'babblets' in today's grid - just like onion but starting with different vowels
oh ty, didnt have those
cant get the flower atm
there is a red ca***** and also a white ca*****
they grow in hedgerows, very common
thnx got it :)
clues for ma9,66 ??
ma9 compound word - found on sailing ships
ah, think thta may be a sailing term - ma4 the most important + sh5, the fabric you lay on your mattress
yay got it thnx
anybody clue me for the si7/28?
se + vowel + not day
ty chrissie
yw ;)
whoop whoop
finito
and off to bed - happy babbling one and all
good night :))
noswaith dda, glantarell!

Hey, yall!

long day?
i only have 51 lol
ofcourse long day shopping lol
i cant figure out any of the e words yet
soon as i say it, i get one
<--- frazzled
gotta run to the office (which has long since closed), leave paperwork to get done in the morning, bbs but then I am going home...
ok, still in my office but Frank is going to pick me up. Too tired to walk home.
good for frank
hi all
hi, jmc!
the chog has been empty a lot of the day
vacant even
haven't had much time to look at it, been really busy
and i missed a new babbler!
oh, bummer!
i have been mumfy most of the day--still not used to this no job thing
*wonders if it is spelled mumphy*
yeah, too much free time can lead to getting nothing done - my summer was kind of like that
i got 2 phones calls done with the irs today and gardened for 2 hours and then fell asleep watching day time tv
day time tv is crap (imho of course)
but you can watch cartoons 24/7, sue!
hi, jmc and sue, i wandered back.
i think you are correct except i got to see an old good eats (since there are no new ones [frown])
not on my tv, dc!
and hi!
i think you just made uu's point dc! haha
LOL
the other thing is i really liked pbs's modern sherlock homes and i have the distinct impression that they are not going to show it anymore
rats
<===if i like a show it is the surest way for it to be canceled
yes, it is all your fault, jmc :-)
lol no doubt
so why was your day so hard uu?
really busy, and Frank'
frank's here, bbs
the same said frank that is picking you up?
oh he's there not the problem
:) ah, i see, the sentence continued
confused me for a sec too
i'm not well-rested and a tad fuzzy-brained today.
por que?
i slept poorly, have been unable to nap, though have eaten well today.
you need lavender on your pillow--and benedryl
benadryl leaves me wired, not tired
ah too bad it works for many you will just have to do the lavender
:) my sleep's been weird last week an some
too bad
couple cousins of mine have been having the same problem. they all say it goes on for a week or two, then back to normal. Here's hoping.
did they have a theory why?
they all guess just part of howe things change as we age.
ca6/24 pls and hello all
hi peri and i don't have it
hi, peri, i don't have it yet
ok, I am still looking
50 left so i think i will talk a break bbl
Back for the final word. Anyone have a clue for an7/52, please?
Evening all. May I please have a clue for any of the et words except the volcano? Thanks
bea, a feature you'd like on your printer or copier
meata-vita-vega-et6/7/8/7

Thanks much BzznBea.
Thank you, dc!

cograts, peri
hasta
hello all who are left...
howdy, red
How are you Seain?
alright. you?
I am ok.
the grid is a bit frustrating.
it is.
to get NBT, it was
overall, I didn't find it so bad
I dont use the list, I suppose if I got it out, I would have better luck.
but I gotta admit, i dont really care either.
I usually start the grid during my 30-min lunch break at work and try to get to 90% unaided and finish the rest at home with Lickety - today I got all but 3 at lunchtime
I've been a pretty sporadic grid doer...And I think with only 67, that may be my limit!!!

almost pizza time .. adios, muchachas/muchachos
so it means to make something appear larger? *going to ask my manager to mi 6/24 my paycheck*

dunno if it's a transitive verb
no, means the same, not the opposite
May I please have a clue for ni5-10 the 1st? Thanks
if you have the ni 4 just after it - add the 2nd vowel before the final letter in the ni 4
Thanks so much, teach.

Thank you! Grandmother died on Saturday. We were supposed to celebrate her 93rd birthday Sunday, but she did not make it. Her b-day was in July so she was 93 years old already. She had a mild heart attack and we all thought she was going to get better and going home but she didn't. Grandma lived a long life though.
93 is a full life. its still hard but she had a good life i m sure
Mini yes she did. But still time is never long enough.
I am glad you had her around for so long, Min. May we all live long and comfortable lives.

Hello dan2bit!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
it's either am5.12 or am7.32, dan
thanks Min I am well, and you?
I am well.Got back from Vermont today. Spent 3 days there.Here for a few days and then off to my sister's house to babysit niece and nephew for a couple days.
laughing at sh4/6 ...could have let us add one more round vowel and we'd have had one of those little creatures from lil' Abner
anybody here remember them ?
lbd I think it's the 7 but I need a clue

howdy dan
Hi crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi again, all!
and thx for the oo word, that gives me nbt, finally!
Hi, uusue
hey, crossy - I was looking at ThinkGeek.com - they have bacon-scented air freshener :-)
hi, jellen!
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi, min! I had a very tiring day but am now relaxing.
lol,sue,all i need to do to freshen the room with the essence of bacon of to cook a few rashers of porkine mnaples and hickory smoked delight till nice and crispy
well, but you could hang this one in your car :-)
mm,this is true..
but i have a few great scratch and sniff "i love bacon" stickers left also
they have 40 different bacon products: http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereis it.cgi?t=bacon&x=0&y=0
i also havew bacon band-aids,bacvon breth mints,bacon tooth picks bacon slat,baconaise...
salt
including bacon dental floss and toothpaste
bacon jelly beans and lollipops
i have had the floss,but have yet to try the toothpaste
ni5/10 the first one?
bacon lip balm and soap
i have had the jelly beans but not the lollys
and a stuffed bacon toy :-)
had the bacon balm,but not the soap
i have seen the bacon cologne,but my mrs drew the line at that and the bacon deoderant
and something called fizzy bacon drink tablets
now that is new to me,bacon fizzy tabs!
anyway, dan, the first ni5/10 I have is the plural of an ni4/4, and probably not the one you are looking for
ni 5/10 adds a vowel near the end of the following ni 4/4 word dan2bit.
you plop them in your drink and it adds fizz and bacon taste, apparently
http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/wack y-edibles/e678/
ah duh I never see that one - tx min
but i must bid you all a goodnight.i now have james herrit,s entire works on my e-book reader and i cannot wait to delve back into the shire of darroby

Goodbye crosshair! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

Hi all, btw.

Hi stid.
hi jac
Hi lbd.

sweet dreams LBD
hi lbd and jac!
'Night lbd.
and night, lbd!
I see crossy still has his arm up a cow's you know what in Yorkshire. LOL.
Hi uusue.
hi all
hi, carlee!
carlee!!! *double twisting back handspring backflip swan dive* *belly flop splash*
hehehe stiddy!!!!!.... and hi there sue
I'm reading a lovely book of short stories, some of which are written by friends of mine. It's called 'Diamonds & Pearls' and is edited by Elaine Everest and was written and published in aid of a small charity called We Are Against Brest Cancer. You can find it on Amazon.
<--- cannot even begin to compete with stid
Hi carlee.
hi jacs...
nice, jac!
*BreAst Cancer, I meant to type.
(not a competition, sue...) ;-)
returns stiddy's belly flop with a 2 1/2 back summersault with a 1 1/2 twist dive....and lands on back
and with that I am off to pick out tomorrow's clothes (something I keep saying I should do but never actually do)
sue..its jsut stiddy's and my own..dorky... way
owie... *helps carlee out of the water and offers restorative mai tai*
nite nite sue...
have an 8 am meeting so need to be up early
have fun, sue! *wishing I had clothes worth thinking about*
yeuck
<--- is at least as dorky as anyone
yuck to mai tai? no idea what it tastes like, but I like the little umbrellas!
I believe it's going to be a lashing with rain day later here in UK, and so I intend to bake and sew.
yay for dorkiness
no..yeuck to 8 am meeting stiddy...
well, that's the problem, stid, most of my clothes are in fact not worth thinking about but I am a host at a meeting for new faculty, then am riding a golf cart for 4 hours helping students move into the dorms
actually i have never had one either...
oh! LOL I am contemplating getting up at 6 am starting next week just to be in practice again.
so need to figure out something that looks reasonably professional for the morning and that I won't sweat to death in during the afternoon
Nothing wrong with sorting out your clothes for next day, especially for work. Cuts down on the panic time in the morning and means you can enjoy your breakfast.
( note to all...i got all my transcript requests off today )
a light-weight shell and a sweater or jacket, sue?
chinos... and a crisp white cotton blouse...
well done carlee!!!
and no time to get to my office in between so everything I am taking with me has to fit in a small bag
hahaha, we do not have your weather, stid, expecting 81 and sunny tomorrow
the blouse will look good rolling up sleeves..take a pair of open toed sandles and fold up hem of chinos for a capris with wide cuff for afternoon
uusue - I'd advise linen trousers (not white, due to the golf cart thing) and a loose top with a cardigan or wrap handy should things cool down.
and I don't have either chinos or a white blouse (white is not my color, I tend to spill things on it) but that would be a nice idea, carlee
<sigh>
nice beige cotton slack?
don't have linen trousers, either (my wardrobe is sadly lacking)
( i love white)
I have some pink (more like dusty rose) or some pale green
ok..any bottoms that are natural fibre and not dark blue nor black?
but we have to wear red t-shirts in the golf carts so probably pink and green are out
cotton trousers in khaki or coffee colour then, uusue. No nylon - too warm.
what's wrong with black?
its HOT in the sun..u are outside all afternoon in a golf cart
won't it make me look thinner? :-)
uusue - black is too heat-absorbing and also shows marks.
true. Well, I will take all your advice to heart, look mournfully at my closet, and come up with something
sheesh.... fine..wear black..wrap urself in saran wrap underneath whilst ur at it... make sure is polyester too..and put nylons over top too!!!!!
Show us a pic when you do, uusue.
oh and fur lined boots to boot :p
I was thinking black because I have some loose black cotton pants, most of the rest of them are poly blends, and I thought the cotton would be cooler despite the colot
*color
carlee - I'm supposed to be the impatient one, hving just been made redundant. Have a heart for poor uusue's dilemma! LOL
sue, you'll find something nice, I know. Don't worry too much about the colors clashing when you add the red t-shirt. Everyone wll be in the same boat.
i am not liking this grid either...
Black cotton would be preferable to any color in poly in that heat!
thank you, stid
definitely cotton
stid's right on that score! Just make sure you wear a light-coloured, loose top.
what are the school colours?
and loose is good too, I think, plus black isn't hard to dress up with a nice top for the morning (where I will be in air conditioning)
school colors are red and black
definitely, sue -- good thinking!
( can u make a wide hem and fold up the slacks to capris....?)
there u go
LOL carlee just wants you to show a little leg....
its cooler that is all
carlee has not seen my legs
oh..and a fun pair of red flip floppy sandles with rhinestones on them
and while I am driving the golf cart if I get way too hot I can roll them up, probably no one will notice
paint ur toes red too!!!!
*idea* BIG floppy red hat with black ribbon and feathers...
and bangle bracelets. definitely.
and on my feet it will be birkenstocks, that's all I have, and they are brown (sorry, I am fashion impaired)
Just make sure you shave/wax/whatever and moisturise your legs before you put them on show.
(school colors, all the way)
cute, stid
if I roll up my pants it will be while I am sitting in the golf cart, no one will see my legs
( thinks we should take sue shopping and carlee HATES shopping)
Oh, birkenstocks are not a good look! But at least your feet will be comfy.
shave ur legs...whoever u are driving will see ur legs
comfy trumps fashion in golf carts
nooooooooo... golf cart screams fashion
This kind of feels like my struggle to turn my tomboy stepdaughter into a lady or even into a girl.
always do, carlee, but typically the seat next to me is full of stuff (that's what the carts are for) - you would not believe how much stuff some of these kids bring along
how old jacs?
yes i would...
younger than her son, carlee!
16, carlee.
lol, jac, if my mother were alive I am sure she would agree with you (I was always a fashion disappointment to her)
oops. was responding to the wrong age.... *sigh*
is she happy and into sports jacs?
She's not happy and not into sports, carlee.
oh boy....
hi all
hi jmc
bummer on the not happy, jac
what is she into jacs?
uu you can buy cheap red flip flops at almost any store
time for me to take a break and eat something unhealthy. back tomorrow! good luck, sue -- I know that you will do fine.
mind my daughter is in that stage a bit too...
anyway, I will figure out what to wear despite my limited closet and impaired fashion sense
hey jmc! *poof*
( payless sue)
if she is 16 of course she is not happy it goes with the territory
yes but not at this time of night (at least I don't want to go out now)
byebye stiddy {{huggles}}
Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log.
hi minver
and I have really bad feet, very flat but very narrow and much narrower at the heel than at the toe - no shoes fit me
when is the event? (not to mention what is it--I came in late)
and bye, stid!
hi mine
I'm going to follow stidmama's lead and exit babbleland
8 am tomorrow, jmc
flip flops fit everyone uu
bye min
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow
*checks underarms and breathe*
tomorrow....sue has to drive around a golfcart to help move students into dorms
was it me?
I have to look decently professional in the morning and then drive a golf cart wearing a red t-shirt in the afternoon
night, min!
nite nite minver..sleep well
Me and her female cousin got her into a dress etc., for her prom but she looked like a bloke in a dress. I thought it might be bettter to put her in a tux for the evening, but, apparently, her teacher had already told her that that would not be acceptable. That might not have put us off, but the cost of female tux (she has a big bust) was prohibitive. I could have tailored her an outfit but she didn't want to be an outcast, due to what the teacher had said.
so go to old navy and buy some chinos
and I don't like things between my toes - used to wear flip flops all the time but can't any more
'Night Min.
won't be open between now and 8 am tomorrow, jmc, I am stick with what i already have
i don't like flip flops either but sometimes we must suffer
hmmm... i would consider taking her for a makeover..if it woul dmake her happy
a cvs pharmacy has flip flops uu--and nail polish
anyway, I will be fine, if not fashionable, I figure at my age I am entitled to dress however I feel like as long as I am neat and clean
i love flip flops...
don't have cvs, only walgreens, and they closed at 10
hahahaha you make it sound like you are old uu!
walmart is open 24 hours
not here, jmc
yeap..walmart...24 hour
:-P tell me there is no walmart
flip flops or the more expensive version - toe post sandals are my favourites.
walmart is even open here 24 hour
closest 24 hour walmart is a ways away (and my son just took the car)
and he doesn't have a phone to call to pick u up a pair of red flip flops
define "aways"
Unless your Walmart has the George range of clothes or even the Barbara Hulanicki (formerly Biba) range of clothes, it's not worth getting clothes there.
i have bought several things at walmart and they are fine
i get my camp clothes at walmart...perfect pants for camping...the nursing pants....
Hmmm.
greens... whatever u call them...
ok, in one place they say they close at 10 but in another they say 24 hours. next closest one is a 45 minute drive.
help with the su5 please
call son to pick u up a pair...
i bet they are 24 hours and it is the pharmacy that closes at 10
su + ***ternal is the opposite of external
( i gave up on this grid ages ago jmc..i stil have8 0 to find and am not looking at all
could be. I still don't want to go out.
su5 = the man's formal jacket and trousers with a consonant in the middle.
ty uu
ty jac
call ur son to get u a pair
small town america is all the same -- 24 hours walmarts
jmc - y/w
anyway my feet are the least of my problems as far as what to wear tomorrow. I am going to go pick out some clothes and go to sleep. If I am not to embarrassed by what I come up with, I will have Frank take a picture :-)
haha i am sure it will be fine
have fun tomorrow sue...
( cant wait for my first day back myself )
Although Walmart has taken over ASDA in the UK, it still clings to its original origins, as a farmer's fair price store. I have to say that since the USA firm took over, standards have dropped and so have stock levels and replinishments.
then you can compare with my usual dressy self in the flickr photos (or facebook if you have it)
i am sorry to hear that jac
night, all!
bye uu
nite sue
The problem with American companies taking over UK stores is that the stores no longer stick to what they were once good at providing and try to cram everything you could possibly think of needing or wanting all into on store. It doesn't work here in UK.
'Night sue.
I think that the top executives really need to employ UK born reseachers to let them know what the UK wants, and not just an overall view but in each region, because it differs a lot even 20 miles apart, beleive me!
Or even believe me! LOL
evening folks

i have statements from so many saying how scared and fearful I am of him... he has statements from people saying what a bitch I am to standing up to his harassment of me?? let's see how this plays out shall we??
you'll kick his butt, of course.
naturally darling... and i can cry at the drop of an onion! doesn't take much these days, I just start shaking and want to vomit when I see him.
perhaps if I vomit on his lawyer in court it might make them see my physical reaction to the man too
you should. right on his shoes.
and i have been getting help via psychologist, and she is writing a statement to the court... all I have to prove is 'reasonable grounds' for fear of him... this I have
