Hi Poundcake! Missed your post, sorry.
It's a little strange jilli, yeah.
poundcake?
Well not really though.
:P
oh you, Laura?
Maybe it means if you do something like someone who is de4,8?
yes
No.
nbt
yes, but...?
Yep, lol. She's "Poundcake" whenever she calls me "Neazle".
Haha
Is this magic 8-ball chat?
It would be like if you said something to me and I didn't or pretended not to hear you I guess, jilli? Don't know.
Huh, gremlinn?
Ask me again.
thanks neil
We had "yes" and "No" back to back - Magic 8-ball answers.
I still think it's an enable invention
jilli - I bet some famous guy like Shakespeare used it once, so it's de facto a word forever afterward.
Could be, gremlinn.
bah humbug, grem, lol!
yw, MLFAN.
nbt & nbs
wtg flosey
Oh ok, grem... re: 8-ball answers.
thanks jilli
phantom yl 5?
flosey -- we all really enjoyed the Audrey Grant workshop today
oh good to hear that jilli
8's done
li 7
some interesting new wrinkles now considered standard!
a drink within a a drink
ty grem
jilli, she came up to play at a tournament our club ran - many years ago - before she became an author/teacher
I remember Geo said he had played against her
yes, I played with the wife of his partner at the time
lots of female names in this grid
she was a lot of fun today
But "Emily" doesn't count.
so the long drive was well worth it
but I had to get up too early for me so will fa4 fast here
I went up yesterday, stayed overnight
still had to get up at 7:30
good idea - that drive in one day would be torture
It's not that long -- only 50 minutes
just Nanaimo
I meant doing both ways in one day - plus Audrey - and a couple of meals along the way would be too much
that's what the others all did -- got the 8:05 ferry this am and the 4:45 back
wow, bet they were tired tonight
we got lunch there, included.
still, I think you were wise
I think so too, lol
jilli, did you notice on my map, the first small dot going up the valley? would be just a bit past our place
oh, just saw it -- cool!
oh -- over halfway, just noticed
wow, good for you
but still no 8
Ask you what again, Laura?
all the 8s build off 6s and 7s
ty grem -- I guess I don't have those particular 6s or 7s
de, pr, and re
pr7,36 and pr8,50
thanks grem, now have 2 of them
And then yeah, de8,45.
but just got pr8 so NBS
and re8
not finding the de6 and 8
what cops do to a suspect
same here flosey
got it
brain not working
if the ferry was late, it would de6 you
or might?
just noticed, my flag is missing
I didn't take it
how odd, flosey!
fixed it
Was your Canada counterfeit?
that's like my flickr pix -- just vanished and I can't get them back
so I see -- how?
not on your life grem
hi all. nbs, nbt and 1/2way
Vanished?
Hi Mary!
hi m9 and well done
got the de6 & 8 at last -- ty flosey
been stuck on last one for a while
hi m9
yw jilli
Laura's here too Mary but says she's frozen.
I found an m9 but it didn't work
Hi M. :o)
Oh you thawed out Laura?
yes, neil -- and I've been trying hard to get them back -- multiple emails to flickr and DrG -- the latter says he is too busy to do anything about it
and flickr passed the buck to him
Oh, you mean from your profile?
Yes.
He did fix a nasty troll earlier today
Didn't know if you meant from Flickr or what?
they disappeared from here, neil
yes, from my profile.
I'll take a look and see if I can think of something. Might be something he'll have to fix though.
well, he will have to communicate with flickr and try to see what went wrong
oh my, that sy word is what it sounds like, lol!
stuck on 3 ... 2 p's and an l
I just need a p7
Hi guys ... just dropping in for a while
hi origami
yeah -- me too grem
hello origami
HEy all <3
Ok jilli? You know when you click "My Account" and edit your profile on the right half of that page? Under the "Bio" section is a slot to enter your Flickr username. Put this there: jillibus2003
hi MissO
And save that... should do it. If not then it's just not gonna work.
hey jilli <3
Hi MissOmnibus!
neil, I did that ages ago -- never removed it
hey neil <3
It already has that there?
yes, neil
Geez. It's broken then!
Maybe temporarily change it to something else, then back?
yes indeed!
I'll try that grem...
ah, got it, fireworks
wtg grem
for some reason that word is unfamiliar, but it doesn't use all that uncommon letters
grats grem
YAY grem!
Wow
congrats grem!
You are an amazing babbler
and TYVVVM grem -- that worked!!!!
yay!
hello sew
the p7 is straight out of Latin or something
got it!
Lares and *******
congrats grem :)
grem, I had previously tried just deleting the jillibus 2003 and then re-entering it, which didn't work -- but putting in somehting else did!
whew, glad it worked out
me too! Now I guess I'd better let DrG off the hook.
and grem -- what is your icon about?
just need that ly 6 now
Hi jilli ... Cant sleep knew you would all be here...
it's a 32000 piece jigsaw puzzle I ordered which I'll start on soon
good grief, grem!
could I have a clue for thely 6, please grem?
Maybe we can send grem clues on how to solve her puzzle
his, sew...
You can see a better picture at http://tinyurl.com/6gjoeow
Ohhhh
nan: sounds like it would mean "writing words for songs"
ty grem
*!* ta da *!*
thanks grem
Ahh, the art of playing the lyre, I guess.
grats nan
off to catch some zzz's -- see you at the next flip :)
hi and nbt
night
that's a strange one (the ly6)!
congrats nan -- pleasant dreams
Yeah, it's also a synonym for ly8 formed sticking "ic" in the middle.
hi and wtg josh
grem, where are you going to put that giant jigsaw?
When I'm done with it? Dunno.
while you're doing it, grem!
I think I will get a bunch of plywood panels and build it in sections, one for each of the artworks in it.
it looks as ifit would take up most of a room!
Or one for every two artworks (16 panels)
Yeah, it's 17' long but my living room is 19'
Wow. Almost takes up the whole room.
ye gods
It'd look good on the wall afterward maybe - I've not done that with puzzles before though.
are the pieces wood or cardboard or waht?
*what
cardboard
I'd say post a photo of it when you finish it, grem. But a puzzle that size? You'd never fit it all into one photograph!
Except from enough distance away.
you'll have to take it outside and hired a helicopter to get a photo
Haha.
on a dry and calm day!
and I'm too tired
Haha, jilli. Yeah, something like that.
But it will be great on a large wall
must go to bed -- 45 left -- goodnight all -- have fun! And thanks again grem for my flickr pix.
Wow. I'm sewdelighted to see you!
Good night jilli.
Haha
How did grem fix that?
gremlinn?
How did you get jilli's Flickr photo problem fixed?
Not much, just suggested she change the name to something else, then switch back - lucky it worked
Oh wow, cool.
Good thinking and yeah, lucky fluke that it did!
Makes the profile look nicer with photos.
wow my last name is in the puzzle but it won't take it
Except mine because my photos aren't so pretty, lol.
Oh yeah, bekki? My first name often is. But I bet my last name will never be. We'll see though I guess.
hello bekki
Lots of first names in this puzzle
yep. Noticed that.
Hi everyone
I think three actually work
Including mine, except that the letters of my name don't meet/touch in this grid.
Well, the shortened form of a fourth works.
rise
De4,5 is there.
sorry
de4, ja4, je4, dr4 (short for an6)
em5
NP, bekki... but into the PB with you. ;)
Yeah.
Girls' name.
Dunno why I bothered to "hide" it since it doesn't work :)
But De4,5 works as a word.
And is a proper name too.
I know, haha!
I think most of these grids contain all 4 letters of my first name, even if they aren't connected to one another.
Nate, short for Nathan?
Yes, gremlinn... that's another one.
But what were you asking me that for? I said the De4,5 is a name and works as a word too.
Yes, that's one of the first 4 I mentioned - we're up to 6 now.
And ja4,10 can be a person's name. And je4,9 definitely is.
And ja4,9 of course.
Duh. Skimmed over that one at first.
Ah, I considered ja4/10 but supposed it wasn't common enough. But okay, 7.
I've known of more than one girl/woman with that name, gremlinn.
Not too common though, no.
My name is extremely common. How boring.
isn't there a babbler with the name?
Wouldn't know flosey. Heck, I don't know all that many of the names here yet... still learning them.
haven't seen her here for quite a while, pops in occasionally
Oh, and there's Dee, of course.
JadeGirl, you mean? Looked it up in the rankings.
Oh yes, grem! VolleyMomDee.
Haha!
could be neil, from Australia I think
Shall we count that as #8?
That's the only "Dee" listed there, flosey.
Ahh, Sue! #9
Sure, why not. Even though it's only 3 letters?
Oh yeah!
Yeah, I'm running dry looking for the longer ones.
I don't tend to see or count 3-letter words or names in these grids though, so I'm missing those.
Ted, #10
Ned (Flanders)?
Renate is another one.
Renae?
Renate. German name.
Oh, I've only see that spelled Renee.
Ahh, haven't heard of any.
I've seen Renae and Renee
dr4,9... another nickname for an "Andy".
So we must count that.
Oh really? I haven't... just Renee.
I'm losing count - but Rena should count too.
Yeah, probably.
Dena?
Dunno
Dina is, I'm sure Dena is too.
Dane
Oh yes... that's definitely a name. Male name.
rys?
Jina? Haha, I wonder.
Maybe Jed?
Hi hootowl! :)
hi there - trying to make myself go to bed!
Check your email... sent you one.
And my bio... lots more added.
just hoot neil just hoot
ohoh
When did he do that ? It's fantastic!
now if we stop teaching to the test we may finally get back to being the best!
Yesterday I think?
But keep reading.
Ok, so "hoot" it is. ;)
How did I miss that? Too busy with the idiocy here I guess
yes sir
Idiiocy where? No, you can't mean on Babble... surely NOT? :P
The idiocy of which we must not speak, which was purged from the archive!
[yep, you detected a tone of definite sarcasm there]
Oh THAT idiocy! Yes, ok.
All in all, I think Babble does pretty well for having so few trolls.
no here in Memphis - the last mayor hired this jack from florida. He has done nothing but fire teachers, not get them textbooks yet and made everyone involved in schooling to hate him
Or unregistered trolls anyway.
I have been accused of being a troll several times. Reported many times. Don't know how I have lasted so long here.
trolls depend on the time of year. Todays was the worst I've seen. Do not think it was a kid!
You don't?
oh come on BR who would do that to you?
Rabbit season! Duck season! Troll season?
I had a look because boat sent me an email about it... seemed pretty darn childish for an adult. And why would an adult be wasting their time doing that anyway, you'd have to wonder?
no I don't - he put in a whole page of binary code. No one uses that anymore!
I won't even go into the sexual junk!
This is sounding pretty weird.
Binary sex joke: "May I overwrite your 0 bit with my 1 bit?"
Look if you read some of the comments on various stories, especially the political one, ypu'd understand.
They think they can say anything and get away with it.
oh good grief grem - thats a stretch
There used to be a time when by mutual agreement politics was not talked about since people can get pretty serious about their views.
heck I can't remember any more - is that possible?
I think it's a bad idea to not talk about things just because people can get serious. In fact, that makes it more important to talk about it, I'd say.
If we only talked about things we agreed on, how could we change?
you know I shouldn't have come on. It's 1:51am here and I'm tired. Just couldn't resist
Members have quit over politics. I disagree with you.
This is word game site ... you want to go hammer and tong ... there are other sites for that.
I imagine it must have been instances where people went beyond the subject into personal attacks.
BR - you have no idea! They will say anything, usually a lie, and think it will convince people they are wrong
yep!
Not talking about here BR - I have noticed some leaving when it was started here.
I do try to keep it off here
I do not chat much anymore .... too many times people get triggered and there are some hurt feelings.
grem - you have no idea!
I was not aware of that BR. Sorry. Will try to keep iy friendly.
it
I am so amused when people talk about freedom of speech. There is no freedom of speech on a privately owned site ... only what the owner allows.
Yep, true.
Time to go. My soapbox cannot stand the strain.
Well, you haven't said anything controversial yet :)
Yeah - well Yahoo is truly yahoos. The problem is the lies. I am one who will not let them get away with lies. Yahoo sends me a notice eveyday and I've founf there are a lot of people who agree with me but they don't post.
A notice about what? People reporting you?
oh come on BR what was said that upset you?
No letting me know how many approved of what I said. They don't tell me who didn't.
No letting me know how many approved of what I said. They don't tell me who didn't.
Ahh
Binary code, hoot? I must've missed that.
What's this, hoot?
I'm out, night
Good night, gremlinn. Take care.
night grem
Hoot?
binary? It's what you used to have to learn to program a computer. 1001 1101 1110 1111
It was a numerical version of the alphabet
sorry I'm tired. It's what code looked like to the cmp
Yes, I know what it is... I just didn't see it when I looked and saw the trolling but there was probably much more than would fit on one page of the chog.
I sent another email btw.
I can relate to "tired" at this hour... haven't been sleeping the best with this cold.
yep - I wasn't here the whole time - just kept peeking . more than apage full when I saw it. Better than sexual slurs
Yeah, I didn't see those... just the racial ones. Bad enough!
Oh good - where? Yahoo or gmail?
No one could stand it for long - though some tried
Well you haven't given me your Gmail address yet, so Yahoo.
If I had that, I would've sent the invite to G+.
Oh same - just change yahoo to gmail - I changed my profile too
If you use Yahoo messenger though, you'll find an add request there from me.
It's the same user name?
If so you were lucky to get it on Gmail!
It's hard to get any name you want on there... so many people use it, that most names are already taken.
really? I may not have gotten it. I've been getting them from people I never heard of and blocked it
yep
oh dear, almost fell asleep here, time for bed, goodnight all
be back in the morning for last 20
I've had that name for years. Used it on netscape too.
Ok, you've been invited to join me on G+. :)
Oh, ok.
Hi again flosey.
Oh flosey didn't know you were still here. hello and goodbye
And good night too, I guess? Take care.
Check your Gmail, hoot.
I really wanted links to your blog and whatever else you have links to
will do - on my way out
They are in my G+ profile. Which you'll have access to view the contents of once you accept my Google+ invitation and add me to your circles too.
It's private except to connections on there.
Hate to burst your bubble but you will be it!
Huh?
Not sure what you mean there?
I will be it?
If I join I won't be bringing anyone with me. Well maybe BF - He did like that stuff you sent before
You don't need to... but you'll find several people you know there already.
But I need to hit the hay. This cold's not gonna get any better by not resting and sleeping enough!
I have to try and make you understand. I signed up for facebook once because my cousin wanted to send me pictures. I have never used it since and when I tried to go in to cancel = they didn't recognise me.
Oh Facebook is a major pain.
ok - me to -good night and feel better!
Yeah, tallk to you later. Take care!
and you can IM me at Yahoo - I don't think I killed that
g'night
and g'night to anyone lurking - bye
afternoon all :))
good morningh
Neil! hiya hiya :)
mrp, are you still here?
and aloha, aloha
aloha ruby :)
hi ruby!!!
another lovely day here! are you actually in Hawaii, aloha?
how you going darling :))
hello aloha!
neil is on his way aloha
hello pres :)
we are having a lovely autumn, cool at night, up to 75F in the afternoons. Pefect! And there are still roses and (a little) fruit
Blue, Blue.. how ARE you? Haha.
we are having a stormy and very wet day! luv it
Oh nice, mrp... cools things down for you?
hi neil
Hi ruby.
lol........all is well neil....and with you? and stop with the pic thing....I have no idea how to do that <grin>
yes, we had a very warm september so far
we are spanning the globe, this AM
You have to upgrade to a paid account to have a picture and profile, Blue.
good stuff hey ruby? !!
Oh, you mean on G+? That's easy.
I don't do pics......I don't type with my thumbs <grin>
But hey, click my pic in the chatbox here and my Babble bio will load up for you... you may enjoy reading it all. My commentaries, etc. Scroll down to see everything.
we always have a few figs in late June or early July and then a few more in Sept, but this year, they are the tastiest ever!
is this one ok?? lots of e's i see
I don't type with my thumbs either... needless to say.
This grid? It was easy, mrp.
No super strange words in this one.
figs are finally come into my taste orbit
thumbs? only use my thumbs for the space bar!
oh good, will enjoy it then
well now........that's a nice pic of you......MUCH better than that angry one you usually use
Same here, ruby. I learned to type properly when I was a kid and of course I have to in my profession.
we only have the green ones, marginally too far north for any, but this weather has made them super-sweet
and I only use 1 thumb! LOL
lol ruby
Angry one, Blue?
we have green that turn purple... luvly
they made all the honor students, boys and girls, take touch-typing in high school.
our green ones are brightr red inside, if I wait long enough
it truly paid off
I thank my typing teacher to this day.....but we had white out, and carriage return
had a good laugh at RoveLA..., Lisa Kudro has my name as her 'porn star' name
i remember carriage return! LOL
Here's the full photo, Blue: http://tinyurl.com/3paw4tw
that is too funny, mrp!
Click on it and it will fill your browser page.
we had to learn typing on old typewriters with carriage return
and old Royal manual typewriters, with no letters on the keys
and old Royal manual typewriters, with no letters on the keys
Neil......you think I can do that AND be here??
ruby, I was shocked when she said my name!! LOL!!
Neil......you think I can do that AND be here??
oh look........I did that twice........double stupid <grin>
oh look........I did that twice........double stupid
off to the internet, but will try to come back
see ya soon ruby
I'm getting "word couldn't be added. Please try again in a minute" why is that happening?
hello any one home?
hello kiwi, new here and making a million mistakes with the chat
kia ora blue just call me gk im a old hand but havent been round much lately
hope you enjoy yourself
I love your country.....was there not long ago
where are u from?
I live on Maui/Hawaii
well its nice to meet you
I'm back... computer issues. Had to reboot.
likewise......kiaora and aloha
hey neil
Glad to see you're meeting some Babblers, Blue! GroovyKiwi is in our network on G+ too.
Hi, GK!
but im still learning to get to grips with it lol
neil......oh? tks...........I'm in there somewhere.....no clue how to travel around in there
Pretty easy Blue, but we really need to be able to chat on a messenger so I can talk you through things on there. I wish you'd use one! You can log into Yahoo messenger again can't you?
exactly kiwi.......glad someone else is somewhat confused about G+
Neil......don't push me further than my brain can handle
Well we've had a conversation on there already once. And we need to be able to do that so I can guide you through G+.
Would be so much easier that way... it's just like chatting here.
I know, I know.....and I appreciate your patience :)
Actually someone posted a guide to G+ on there the other day. I'll try and find that for you.
give an old broad a break, willya?
But it would be much better if you could get on a chat messenger with me... easier to guide you through it all.
How am I not doing?
[should I tell you my grandparents use the internet?] ;)
lololol..........smooch.........yer a dear heart
yeah got one of the 8s
Which one, GK?
pr8 before you go out with someone lol
and the re7 being you go out with them again and again
oo................tks!!
If you click my avatar pic and load up my profile, Blue, you may find it amusing to read... maximize it and scroll down to read it all.
and got the other one too now woohooo
Oh, ok. Need the others?
the re8 is to do something again and again :)
de8,45 -- one who holds someone back/holds them up/makes them late? It's related to the de6,21 just before it.
yes, I finished the grid a whlie ago at flip.
look at you guys!! up at 3 AM........I'm off to bed, 10 PM
its only 9pm here but it is sunday night
pr7,36 & pr8,50 -- to mark something ahead of time

I AM TRYING TO ORDER FLAKES FOR THE FISH, BUT i GET ALMOST ALL THE WAY, AND THEN THE SITE WON'T ACCEPT THE PRODUCT INTO! ANNOYING
Whangerei

Oh, ok.
{passes ruby a nice cold compress for the keyboard hurt}
I sit corrected. ;)
If I didn't have Canada or Hawaii to live in, I'd be in the Coramadel peninsula.....<spell that correctly>
coromandel peninsula :)
ty kiwi
I should send you photos of my area, Blue. My street and the view across the road from me... ocean!

It's gorgeous here. My family are trying to convince me to move down to LA... ugh. Digging my heels in!
i live in the 'burbs of wellington but im only a five min drive to the beach not that im a beach dweller much lol
no idea why anyone would want to live in LA........recorded there.........hated every moment of it
Oh, Blue? Check G+... brother posted a clip you'll enjoy watching.

It's from Thursday evening.
zjr
Uh, oops! Fingers were over the wrong keys there.
ive been to LA well no ive been to LA airport - spent 7 hours there waiting for my flight home - got so drunk they nearly didnt let me on the plane - mindyou i was only 19 at the time lol
He's judging and critiquing clothing designs.

night ruby
night ruby
ugh.......I didn't do that again!! <cringe> poof!!
suprisingly easy grid this be :)
It is, Kiwi.
Do you use any IM chat btw?
easy for you to say lol
i used to be a IRC queen and just about every other IM chat there has been over the past 12 years but now i just stick to facebook and the odd time i remember to turn skype on but i do tweet now and again too lol
Oh, well no. I meant like MSN or Yahoo?
back to the fish food website, see you later
MSN is the one we mostly use.
good luck with it ruby
not anymore neil
Yeah, good luck finding some fish food!
Oh well.
I do a lot of tweeting but I keep that page public, so I don't use it for personal social networking... I just post my political updates and links to articles there, mostly. Just very non-personal stuff.
The personal stuff I keep to G+... where our private network of family and friends are.
i dont have a very technological cellphone so i never remember to tweet except when im grumpy about lack of coverage of soccer games lol
Oh, I have a Motorolla 'droid.
Haha, so you vent via your tweets huh? Well yeah, I do that too.
i have a poor mans blackberry designed by LG but it doesnt come with any aps and to facebook or tweet you have to use its web interface which is crap
I used to use a Blackberry. I still have it but I've moved everything over onto the Android now.
Yeah, it was compared to the one I'm using now.
i was going to steal my partners iphone when he upgrades next month to the new one but thats dying so not an option, heres hopeful for a nice crissy pressie from him lol
That's what my brother has... the iPhone 4. I guess he'll probably upgrade to a 5 soon.
Not sure if he has already... he was talking about it.
ive upgraded phones for my kids last christmas so its about time i upgraded to something nice for myself lol
Yes, why not?
so what do you do for a living then?
It's all in my bio, Kiwi.
oohkay then
and thats fireworks for me woohooo
The elephant riding photos on my Flickr were actually part of an assignment in Thailand this past spring.
Congrats!
I'll invite you to connect on there if you want, then you'll be able to see the entire album.
i dont want to do flikr sorry
Howdy all :)
kia ora good luck to you
im rreally not feeling the motivation at all with todays grid.. sigh! hope everyone else is well though :)
Check your Yahoo mail, Kiwi.
ive just finished :)
Hi boat! :)
And hi again, MissOmnibus.
Hey Neil! :)
hi neil!
I just finished watching 'Project Runway' :)
Love the hair, MissO.
Oh yes, boat. I guess I don't need to tell you he posted that clip for you then... you and whoever else it was that asked to see it? [memory fail]
That was a treat! I love that show :)
It was interesting, yeah.
And funny enough, we agreed on the same outfit. We're so opposite I wondered whether we would or not, haha. I naturally oppose him... someone has to.
ok goodnight all monday comes swiftly these days so need my brainy sleep catch ya on another flipside
I'm his "antithesis" as I always say.
naww i love you hair too Neil <3 :P
Oh yes, you're so far ahead of us, Kiwi!
Sleep well then.
My hair? You've gotta be kidding me? Haha.
Which outfit?
;) it'd look weird by itself,you suit your hair :D
It's, ummm... I should just show you what it does when I don't keep it buzzed very short. :P
The one he liked best... was the one I chose too. Guess we're more alike in some ways than I care to admit most of the time, lol.
Miss Ominbus is right Neil :)
That my hair would look weird by itself? Uh yeah, then I'd be bald. That would not look good.
No, that your hair suits you, silly :)
Well I guess it should... it's my hair after all.
:D /winners victory lap
i win on the hair opinion.
Hmm, MissO?
WTG Miss O!
Ummm, look through my Flickr album... near the end of the photos you'll see one from my college days. The hair just might make you laugh!
You'll only see about 1/3 of the photos there, unless connected with me on Flickr... but it's enough to get an idea of what the hair's like.
Oh, I thought you meant fireworks. Premature WTG :)
This one, MissOmni: http://tinyurl.com/3megfna
That's mad scientist hair... on a Political Science student, haha.
Hi...
Hey Jellen :)
Hi Jellen.
leetsauce. Do like Neil... I have naturally ringletted hair. my mother is the afro queen
I was going to bed a couple of hours ago... then mrp let me know Blue was on here so I came back. :P
That's my Jew Fro, haha.
Your hair is very straight in your photo, MissO?
Who is Blue?
:P back in a bit i need food to find words!
Blue is a friend I met playing Literati... she's in Maui.
Ok MissO.
Ah..
brb
Literati...that sounds vaguely familiar. I think I've seen that in the Yahoo word games.
Yeah, that's right. It's their version of Scrabble.
I'm addicted to that and their Word Racer game... more so the latter, it's good. Similar to Babble only you have four rounds/grids per game and 2 minutes to enter all the words you can see in each.
So very fast, accurate touch-typing speed is essential.
It's just a Boggle game, basically.
Whoa. I would totally fail at that. I need to take my time. I like Typer Shark, when I can get it to play.
Never heard of it?
BRB. Need one more mug of hot tea before I crash. Helps with this cold.
Oh, there's a litte guys underwater, words float by and you have to type the words you see before the sharks eats your guy.
OK.
Back
nbt
I'm fading. Long day on little sleep and I want to read before bed. Nite all.
back...91 to go! lol
Back.
wb!
Who's still here?
ty!
just me and my 88 words
Aww. Well you're getting there!
haha maybe' :P
You can do it, you can do it! Woops. I'm sounding positive there. :P
haha /pats your hair!
What is "Wow"? I guess that's a game of some kind?
[reading your profile]
lol, world of warcraft... i've been clean of the pixelated smack for near on a year now ... i should updae that profiile...
Oh, ok!
lol
I've never played anything like that. I play word games online... Scrabble and Boggle type games.
ah fair enough, i was mmorpgr junkie for ages
eh, i cannot be bothered with todays grid, i think ill try and find amusement on other things, you take care :)
Ok, you too. I'm off to bed anyway.
See you another time. :)
can I have a clue please for the e in the first column and the one in the 3rd column
back for a minute before going to lunch
lag so I can't see what I'm typing. Hello jenny
3rd column e: flightles bird and plural
hi rubyfoo
plurals spelled both ways!
thats from the 4th column and I can't get the 2nd plural to work
add an e after the m
thanks ruby got that. Just need the e in the first column for nbt and nbs
morning all
morning sprite... how are you today? Oh good, good. Anything new? Nah, not really. I am a rock.... I am an iiiiiiiiiisland. Theme of today.
Hello sprite i think any one not in europe must be asleep
hiya Pearl :) looks like rubyfoo and Jjenny were still here just when I came in. How are you doing?
IM good have 64 words but its getting harder funny old grid today
Good morning!
nice going! Yesterday's was tough, wasn't it.
hiya Sally :)
high sally
LIke your island, sprite!
thank you :)
Looking out at grey drizzle, it seems even more attractive :-)
And hi Pearl/
hehehe I believe it! We have a reasonable day here, not really sunny but at least it is dry for a change.
WE are getting excited cos indian summer coming for two days next week yahooooo
Which country are you in Pearl?
oh that is nice!
North east England
OK, I'm in the west/
I am in the south. The far south.
One day i will come out of the shadow and join the company
great :) Shadow is only nice when it is really hote.
I do not believe there can be three 8-letter words in this grid.
already found 2 all by myself and they are real words
Well I've not long started, so perhaps they will miraculously appear to me too.
yeah they will. They did for me, so that is saying a lot, lol.
i have all three but ther are some weird and wonderful words in this grid
uh-oh, that sounds promising... 30 to go here.
20... not easy but a lot better grid than yesterday, grin.
sprite can you give me clue for the aj4 pls
a + they were all j**ring and yelling at me
Oh good, found one of the 8s.
yayyy Sally!
Nothing to stop me now :-))
nothing can, ever
got it ty
yvw Pearl :)
ok found the 3rd 8 and that is also a real word
Well done sprite!
*happy dance*
Sprite, have you heard of something called Postcrossing? Since you are not as mobile as you would like, it occurs to me you might like it.
postcrossing? No never heard of that! Hold on, google for the win!
oh that looks like fun, thank you Sally! I love postcards.
<http://www.postcrossing.com> Basically, it's a postcard exchange. You get allocated a random name and address anywhere in the world, you send them a postcard, and then get a postcard back from some other random name and address anywhere in the world. It's great fun.
Someone on a usenet and then a FB group put me onto it.
am gonna sign up for that. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Not sure if you can see my profile without being a member, but try this: <http://www.postcrossing.com/user/Sall y-T>
yes I can see it, thank you. Very nice :D
am signing up :)
what about user name? Should I make something up or give my own name or....
It's very addictive, and I've had some lovely cards.
You could stick to Sprite?
oh that would be nice, I like being sprite
Would be funny if I was given your name!
One tip, it's worth scanning the cards you send, so you know what you have sent in case the receiver doesn't also do it.
ok I am in! I am Spright. Sprite was already taken, how evil :D
Have fun :-)
ok so I go buy a bunch of great local cards now?
thanks for the great hint, Sally, I think I am gonna like this. A link to the outside world.
Yup:-) The person who put me on to it is house-bound, so buys most cards and stamps online, but I keep a little stash now and try to find something suitable.
It's fun browsing all the other cards too.
am gonna read all about it after I finish the grid. How come you can see the cards online while they are sent IRL?
Cough. This is not getting the grid done.
lol no, not really. I am down to 3 and really stuck.
You scan the cards you get, and when you register you have received one you can put it on your wall, but you don't have to if you don't have a scanner.
It's a very well thought-out and organised site. I love reading the statistics, but that's just the way my mind works.
Apologies to other babblers for hogging all the chat :-)
nah, this is fun. Pearl can sign up too if she likes, and the rest wasn't chatting anyway >:-)
fireflies! Now I am gonna bury myself in the postcard site and re4 everything about it. Thanks again Sally!
bye sprite - and congrats
Bye Sally and Pearl, and bye to the rest
Bye sprite that was good info might look into it you take care
got to go now so cheerio to every one
Bye Pearl
name that proper noun! tennis player roger
federer!
ding ding ding!
I want to know why we can't have meeja - used in slang all the time here :-)
as in, nice to meeja?
lol, no, as in the gutter press and other meeja.
ahhh
hello again. Foraging for somewthing sweet....
Passes ruby a slice of lemon cake.
that postcard site sounds like a great idea!
ty, puckered up now, sally!
It's great fun ruby. It took me a long time to decide to sign up, but I really look forward to getting cards and all the stamps and so on. And it's free apart from the cost of the cards and stamps!
I used to be a stamp collector, but when I moved here, I lost my whole International collection. Still have my US mint sheets and plate blocks, however
I always thought it would be a valuable collection to bequeth to my son, but when we looked it up, it's worth very little
How's your husband ruby, or is the subject off limites?!
no, thank you for asking. He seems to be on a teady downward slope....not much I can do about it
Oh, sorry about that {{hugs}}
except try to stay out of his way when he's cranky
Don't know how my French spelling crept in for "limites"
(didn't even notice, hahah)
my friends online are an enormous help!
(((Ruby)))
{{molly}}
bad lag, I can't see what I'm typing
*Sprinkles anti-cranky dust over Mr. Ruby*
ty molly-o!
*Ruby channels my Ma, as she was one of the very few who called me that*
finally reached half, invisibly!
yay, jinxed the j's
JJolly good!
Got 2 of the eights now!
no 7's here.....
Have 4.
nice to see you, sally, but it's siesta time for me!
Have a good one ruby.
BTW, sally, no more herons. Now we have a fancy pigeon who comes each day for a quik bath and a beautfiul female common hawk, who is trying to pick off birds on the feeder.
I don't mind because she's gorgeous and only kills what she can eat
Oh dear! I feel the same about the hawks. Lovely birds but ... We have a lot of buzzards here which are very beautiful.
the aafrikans word for uzzards is asvogel and is acceptable in scrabble lol
*poof*
(can't see my typos 'til after, embarrassed)
Sheesh! Can't believe how long it has taken me to get the lone R in the bottom left hand corner!
I got it right away after I found it
howdy, everyone :-)
I had to look again and again, BR :-)
Hello, Une
sally, I love your icon -- are they yours?
didn't know kitties and hens could be buddies :-)
Hi Une. Yes, they are! My caption is: "you have to do WHAT every day?"
LOL!!
my caption: We know what the pecking order is here, right?
And fireworks! It's nice to be able to play again. I have peeped in on occasion but the grids have been so huge I just knew I wouldn't have time to finish them.
LOL BR. Too right.
yay, sally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BR :-)
hi all
morning, jmc :-)
OK, must go. Nothing personal jmc :-)
bye, sally :-)
:-( sure thats what they all say

morning, all
who was the nasty person in the chog yesterday? UGH.
Morning Friends
hi hego
a nasty little troll, angel
Hi Annie
Heard about the troll
It was bad
Oh didn't hear any details
Probably better not to know who. : )
Some people have nothing better to do. Hi Molly.
Hi Molly :)
Hey Hego. The really sad thing is, some people get their jollies doing stuff like that. Hi Annie!
So dumb
Hego, did you have a nice birthday? I know it started out nice with the lovely flowers from your husband.
yes, ty Molly
2 dinners out
It was fun
Oh hego didnt know it was your birthday...Happy Birthday to you!
And today I have a friends b'day party
ty Annie
TWO dinners out? Whee!
One with hubby and one with the family
Morning all
Hi Bob
Hey! I just realized today is my babbleversary!!
another reason to celebrate. lol
of course celebrate! crossy is here once again!!
Such an ego!
crossy is shy
: )
yaa for hego,s babbleversary!
: D
good lord just looked i am just past my 3rd babbleversary
Well you're very good at it Crossy.
Keep us all entertained too.
i try? some would say too much:)
Not me.
good morning
((Dorens))
howdy dorens:)
happy birthday hego? and is annie still here?
ty and I think so
my daughter had her birthday party last week at a russian night club on the water in brooklyn and i think it was near where she lives.
Oooo That sounds fun.
oh it was incredible!
Nostrovia!!!
konechno!
lol
Dasvidaniya!
Did the vodka flow like water?
her boyfriend was born in russia...his parents helped arrange the party and they were there.. I studied russian in high school and college but still have trouble understanding his rfather's english. and yes!!
mmm..flowing vodka
i missed my 9 am pilates class next morning... and i really really wanted to go. left the party at 1 am and got home at 2 luckily
yay for flowing vodka
i haven't drunk vodka in many years... once drank the real thing kept in a freezer with a coupleof buddies at a wild 40th birthday party... had to sit through daughter's dance recital rehearsal the next morning.. three hours of holding my head in a HS auditorium full of noisy little girls. ugh! So she was shocked to see me drinkinig it. but they ran out of wine!
Dorens, sounds like a great party. Glad your girl had a nice birthday celebration.
That is a really funny story, Dorens.
see dorens,you did not do it correctly,must drink non stop for 20 years..then you no longer get hangovers! :)
and now she's in barcelona for a friend's wedding.. she has a good life. i think i forgot to mention that was the LAST time i drank vodka until last week
Welcome back to the dark side.
wasn't hungover last week... but did sleep through pilates. (actually i didn't drink that much cause i had to drive home... but all the others... wow)
mmm....tea
pre-r4/5 is defiinitely a word.. .just ask any elementary school teacher
how can you re 4/6,before your re 4/6?
before you re4/5, there are learning activities, talking about vocabulary , predicting what might happen, etc.
at least in reading classes
well ,that is not reading per se that is hypothesizing on what you will read
it is a word. But not here.
but any reading is a good thing,so i shall not spit hairs
and you are so far in the PB you will never get out. lol
:((
"oh well,time to bring breakfast fixings in there anyways
what the heck is the stupid fl?
It's making me nuts!
they make me itch....
sorry not correct,i still only have one eye open
Hmmm...
fl- cheap quality
Sheer women's clothing is fl6
oh! ty folks
A little tricky
ty molly
I just came back, dorens, are you still here?
howdy annie:)
yes annie. how are you?
dorens, where did you celebrate?
i can't remember the name of the night club, but it was one of those on the water. and it was fabulous. Have you been to any of them?
Was it on the boardwalk and was there a revue?
tatiana
ah yes, I had lunch there but was never there at night. boiisterous drunks? happy birthday to daughter!
only slightly boisterous.. all in good fun though. some folks were there with a 9 year old boy (not in ourparty) who danced up a storm. the revue was hilarious (even had amichael jackson impersonator)
Yes, years ago I used to go to the nightclubs on Brighton Beach Avenue. Just living where I do is like living in Russia.
i have always wanted to go there and was so excited when rachel told me. it was the most fun party i've attended in a while.
I hate to disrupt your conversation, Annie & Doren. Good morning!
Hi Scrabbs!
it doesn't hurt that i adore this boyfriend of hers and her parents are in love with her. and we all get along so well. and hi scrabbs
I am checking in before I resume a gardening/landscaping project in the backyard.
dorens, wonderful...that's the way it should be. do his parents live in brighton beach?
Hi Scrabs
Hi He. So what is everyone doing today?
Not much, it seems.lol
my friend barbara is up from florida so we are spending the day together whenever she gets ready. no rus.
no rush.*
I have a party later.
Is it sunny in Brooklyn and NJ?
partly cloudy here.
Yes! Finally! a lovely day!
yes, isn't it nice? yesterday they said it would raihn today. so glad it didn't
Sunny here and 65, if not higher already. I had coffee, breakfast, read the paper, listened to mom on the phone, played words on FB, did the Quote Puzzler games, and am here briefly.
How is your Mom,. Scrabbs?
anyone who likes jazz put on wbgo.org and listen. I am sitting here answering phones for the fundraising drive
My mother is a chatterbox and needs someone to listen to her ramble. My father does the best he can. My mother thinks he is going deaf but after a while he shuts her out. She gets stuck in minutiae--obits, news stories...
no annie they don't. they actually live in northern nj.. they are very nice.. she speaks english well with somewhat of an accent,...he drinks a lot of vodka and is incomprehensible
How can there be 9 L words? I found 3 li words.
Scrabs My mother talked continuously the last few years of her life.
scrabbs, that goes with the age i'm afraid. my mom used to disdain friends and relatives who did that, and now she does it constantly...sometimes i have to say come on mom, that part is unnecessary. get to the pointk, please
Drove us all crazy!
My mother dwells among the trees, sees every leaf, and cannot see the forest.
dorens, are wedding bells in the future?
It's like astream of consciosness thing.
She goes off on tangents and also provides too much detail, such as the exact conversation rather than the outcome.
scrabbs, I have a friend like your Mom, drives me crazy
i hope so annie, even thought that maybe it would happen at the party, but not yet
sounds familiar.
My sisters and I joke that we will turn into our mother. Sadly one already has.
I hope so Dorens
Wow, Doren.
I hope so too, dorens
it sure does hego and scrabbs. my sister and i have a pact.. we nudge each other (gently) if one of us begins to sound too much like her, in various ways
phone, bbs
and my sister has taught her the expression TMI.. when really she means TMD(etail)
If I ask my mother to sum it up she tells me to stop it and let her talk.
oh, my mom is a little better about it --- so far! but i think she does get a bit put out. the weird part is how much that used to bother her when others did it
I struggle between allowing her to ramble vs cutting her off and having a 30 min call vs 55 min as she did a week ago.
I must multitask when I listen to her.
the only way.
we multitask, and also tune her out, often you can get away with saying uhhuh every 30 seconds for a long long time
And when there is a pause I say, "Pardon," because it is my cue to utter a word.
hope my kids don't end up saying this about me twenty years from now
I worry about that too.
I am afraid that the time-release genes doom us to become our mothers.
i think i'll tell mine to let me know when it happens, and train me not to do it
my kids do not have to worry as i generally find the telephone nothing but a nessesary evil and use it to transmit vital information in the shortest time possible
Hi Crossy!
swcrabby!
oh crossy she doesn't need the phone for it.. she does it in person too
I'm the same way with the phone.
But I can get gabby in person.
lol,that where a general bit of brathing room geographically comes into play..say about 2000 miles
breathing
I am not a talker--am much better expressing myself in writing as I have time to choose the words to express myself. A delete button is my friend.
we understand your typing Crossy. lol
Is you mother in CA or the UK, Crossy?
that is a good thing hego,because sometimes i do not;0
my mother passed in 1991 in the U.K scrabby
20 years this year
Aw, I didn't know.
Have you ever been back, Crossy?
i never bother to correct my numerous typos in the chog. you all can figure out what i meant, being the word nerds that we are
Y clues?
got the word the same day as my beloved accepted my proposal for marriage
Awwwww
You lost one special lady and gained another.
ye + ** day now
i have not hego,money is tight and schedules had to be altered and we could only send one to the funeral,so my brother went
and past tense
Got 'em.
OK, NBT and I must get my arse out in the garden before noon lest I call myself a slug.
Bye Scrabs
"i still carry a u.k passport though so can go back any time i wish
It is very expensive Crossy
Bye kids. I shall check in later, when I am sweaty and covered in dirt.
uh, okay
wel send him with all our combined spare money and it cost over 3000 by the time all was said and done,and he stayed with our uncle ian over there
Wow. That's a lot!
England is wickedly expensive.
every time you blink over there it is another 100 pounds gone
Only reason I don't return.
I love England
i asked him to bring me back a small tin of toffee like gramma used to send us as kids on our birthdays..tin was over 17 dollars!
Everything is double here.
she is gone now,but all through the 60,s and 70,s we used to get a tin of toffee and a crisp one pound note
cute
Love toffee
used to save the tins for my childhood treasures
Good memories
and those tinned hard candies you never see anymore? the ones with the frosted sugar on them
yes
opps,crossy better be careful,i am told i hog the chog and my word count is too high:(
who says?
Who's counting?
someone whos fur i rubbed the wrong way yesterday..wife says i am good at that
but i should get a few words in the grid anyways
I wouldn't worry about it.
Me too
this one i might actually stand a chance of finishing;)
it's not too bad.
ohh! found an 8:)
oo which one?
i would tell you,but it would be explaining myself again:))))
hehe crafty clue;)
very. ty
np:)
There were a few yesterday, very upset by the troll. Were exclaiming all kinds of foolishness about limiting length. I mark it for being upset and not at crossy - howdy
hi hoot
howdy hoots!
He WAS a very trying troll!
Nice clue thanks Crossy I had just got another one that goes before yours
(that was a clue too)
he was indeed hoots
ty deeha
I told neil last night that I didn't think he was a kid. The binary is so out date that a yonger wouldn't know it
are the de 6 & 8 a combo?
Can't seem to find them
yes
to stop someone from going somewhwre
and the one who does it
ty. ...thinking...
Aha!
does anyone have the me6/39? My last one!
looking the wrong way again.
not yet, Hoot.
IT's a very convoluted grid but most words are familiar
me plus consanant plus tsetse***
ty an old babblet!
tytyty - tried so many combos that didnt work!
mm enable missed an me/9 as is one who me7/36,s
interesting Crossy
and you can even pl that
I think there were a few of those.
only in englisg - not in enable
wants the ie ending
i have not checked lickety as of yet,but i am sure he will have a few extra words
bbl - BF finally out of bed.
lol
I'm using his list - no extras
poof
Done! hagd all!
And Poof!
clue for pe 5/12
p2 5/12 is pe plus actress *h** Pearlman Matches & hi
pe 5/12 is pe plus actress *h** Pearlman Matches & hi
Ly6,27?
ty couldn`t find that one
old time cleaner(plural) just change the vowel and the consanant
i guess soaps would be a better clue than cleaner
The ly 6/27 sounds like writing words for songs mixi6.
sorry saw 7 not 27
ty minver. fireworks.
Congratulations mixi6 on your fireworks! Good for U!
the ly still hides from me
The ly6/27 is ly plus anagram of ri 4/5 word crosshair
L's Lopped! 5 left
ty min er got it.
*POOF*
ly**cs are words to a song + narcissi** is thinking too highly of one's self

Hello again, and again.
*places LARGE RED warning sign in chog and leaves*
*dutifully stops at the stop sign*
our under the bridge resider is back...get the spray
hi all
*troll alert, radio babble silence*
hi boat. i'll refrain from feeding the troll. but looks like it's been 10 minutes since it did anything.
Agreed Jes. And the "Big Brother" factor around here is starting to creep me out.
uh oh, the annoying one is back. Is it as bad as yesterday?
Looks like it left -- not listed online any more.
wouldn't big brother be dr god telling us what we could talk about?
hello and goodbye all -- made my goals too quickly today, much to do! *poof*
bye stid
Oh sorry I wasn't trying to be Big Bro. Yesterday I posted during the whole debacle and was told to go silent when I didn't realize that's what folks were doing. So I thought I would just pass it along. Sorry for the impression. My bad :(
No Boat, not you. It's the "always watching" thing.
Cool beans :)
wasn't upset, boat. i just kinda feel like if we all quit what we're doing because a troll comes in, the troll wins.
i generally either ignore them or point out the stupidity that amuses me :)
Agreed.
Mind your nanners!
it's sort of like pointing out how TSA's bullsh** is proof the terrorists have won, except I don't get arrested for it. (speaking of big brother creepy)
I don't think we are children who need to be told to BE SILENT. Yesterday was ridiculous.
for nbt, does anybody have the left-hand e? please; I've tried everything
en5 and plural
except the one thing it is, ruby :) (no, sorry, i don't have it either)
wasn't here yesterday, molly
I couldn't believe my eyes when I came on
I give up, can't gind it. Good night everybody
is it back?
or even find* it plus terrible lag!
sleep sweet ruby
ruby - en 5/10 - a person related on one's mother's side.
bonsoir une et a bientot

Whoever gets tagged is it!

*!*!*!*! Annie *!*!*!*!*
congrats, annie!!
it was a friendly grid
half way
stats only for r in bottom corner? that'll get me nbt
go jes go !
re6
What is nbt? I see a lot of folks use it.
no blank tiles, boat.
I couldnt figure out which R is came from
no blank tiles
it means you have at least one word from each letter.
It means you don't have any tiles with 0/X for X>0.
That's right, I forgot.
argh. so fishy. thanks, grem :)
i was right -- it's back -- see ya later, folks *poof*
bye, unea
bye Une
and I am on my way too unless someone would like a clue
phantom pedant
hi again, all!
hi sue
i still need 56 words, annie, too many to ask clues for :) thanks though
hi uusue

Hey sue

thanks, grem. that's a weird word
Hello, how's the grid this morning?
ty annie!
It's not too bad
grid's okay, jan.
gremlinn gave a better clue, ah you got it, good
nbt!
and thks jess
bye dear babblers
oops thks grem
have fun, annie!
The last couple have been tough, I think. I need a nice, relaxing one.
yeah, i didn't finish yesterday's, jan
I didn't come even close!
I didn't finish yesterday's either. Too many nonsense words in it.
And long nonsense words at that. It's one thing to have those four letter Babblets...
I missed most of yesterday and am going to miss most of today too - now that the semester is well under way I am not finishing very many grids!
I've done whole grids on my phone before.
sorry to hear that, sean :-(
I've done parts of grids on my phone, gremlinn, but it doesn't scroll so I tend to get fed up with it well before the grid is done
Same here - I look at the grid, try to remember a few words to type in, and then type them in together.
re 6/21 last one plz
To peruse text again
Has anyone seen this, regardintg the serious Dead Grandmother phenomenon in college? http://www.cis.gsu.edu/~dstraub/Course s/Grandma.htm Sue in particular might find it of value.
ty gremlinn
I've given up trying to evaluate excuses, jan - if you miss an exam you get a makeup, and it's not the same exam, and I don't guarantee it will be the same difficulty (although I try to make it similar)
I spent too many years poring over excuses, and got fed up with it
jan: strange! Never heard anything like that.
I'm suspect that it's serious given the end though....
and yes, I have heard about a lot of dead grandmothers right around exam time myself.
thanks, jan :)
seanannerz what was up yesterday
gremlinn, I think it's only serious because that's when we start getting stories about grandmothers dying, not that they actually die around then
I was reminded of the great set of exam excuses complied by Femalescienceprofessor on her blog. Some of them were amazingly creative.
Sue: ahh.
oh so they created another account with ur name, or did they hack ur account
anyway I have a memorial service to go to today; my secretary's daughter died suddenly - she was disabled (seizure disorder) but not ill, very sad
So sorry, Sue. Sudden deaths are so hard to accept.
ok hey pearl how u doig
anyway, I am off - see you all later (or most of you, if you catch my drift)
sorry, doing
Oh Sue. Sorry to hear that. :(
Bye, Sue!
And you take care. And yes, we catch it.
bye, uusue
So sorry to hear that Sue :(
Hi jes and boat! :)
Hey Neil! :)
Just enter that code again... then you won't see any of the morons' idiotic posts.
I've already got it blocked. ;)
But where does one enter it?
There is no code Boat.
Thanks Neil!
In the box... see that email about it.
Thanks!
what does one enter and where?
Oh, and I sent an email to Dr. G-d a while ago as well.
wvteach. Just see the email. ;)
Yes, done that also.
boat, some just don't get it. You do though I take it? ;)
Yuppers :)
what email please? I haven't had anything through from Dr God
send me gmail, neil (I am still grading so not quite gone yet)
Chrissie, there isn't one. I don't know why this gets perpetuated. It's as lame as the troll.
i did not get any email either
neither did i
thanks Molly
the ruse was worth a try.... but shot down !!
Sorry guys, not an email from Dr. G-d, Neil sent an email to me.
Sorry for the fuss :)
Or maybe it's a ruse that the email was a ruse!
*wink wink*
;-)
I wrote to dr g
hi ruru
ty, ruru
Hi ruru. Check your email, boat.
Just enter the code, ruru and you won't see any of that anymore. ;)
hi neil.. hi jes.. and hi dc
Will do...
If you need it, shoot me an email and I'll send it to you.
Neil - Wrote back.
I think the troll is gone
he must have need batteries in his transformer toys
nice pup, ruru!
Huzzah! Troll-be-Gone worked again!!
Yes, boat. Works well doesn't it? :)
Can a get a clue for the ly 6/27, por favor?
NM, I just saw it, arg :)
Troll-be-Gone sounds like a skit from SNL :)
Oh, ok. Was gonna try to clue you there. Sorry for the delay... was responding to an email. Hint. ;)
:)
not mine, apparently - I feel so left out! (wink)
Dr. God was here and hopefully he took care of the unwelcome visitor. People need to take care not to make others feel "excluded" by supposed "codes" that are only emailed to a select few.
afternoon all! bottom row done
Well done 2Bit.
pe 7/32 pls
I was kidding with Neil, molly, I don't actually feel left out
Oh good lord. Some just don't catch on, do they?
pe 7/32 is writing implement plus at 4/4 word big red
Sue, I'll send you an email. You'll understand.
I know you don't Sue, I was referring to other posters who were confused by this, as they were yesterday. And yes, I catch on.
Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today
thanks Min and hi there
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi, min!
I understand that when there are trolls around we have to speak in code, for obvious reasons. Doesnt' bother me, I just want to figure it out at some point.
MollyL - It's a joke. There is no code. It’s a ruse to help get rid of the troll until Dr. G-d can get rid of it. If you don't want to feel excluded, then play along (or not obviously up to you). Everyone is welcome. None of us want to exclude anyone at all. Sorry for any hurt feelings.
It looks like I missed another troll invasion. Was it as bad as yesterday's troll invasion. Actually, yesterday was just annoying, no profanity or anything like that
I wasn't here yesterday, min, but this one seemed relatively brief
It wasn't so bad today. No profanity. Just irksome.
I know that Boat. I just don't think it does anything to deter trolls and it confuses people who are not "in on" the joke.
Wonder if it was the same troll with a different name.
Well not everyone is going to know right away. I didn't, and then I did. I guess it's just a choice. It's neither here nor there.
Taking a short break. I'll be here off & on for rest of the day. I will enter my last five words later on today
yep, same guy
anyway I really am grading exams and really do have a memorial gathering to go to, followed by an anniversary party - unfortunate coincidence there - and then a rehearsal, so I will be signing off for a while. Too bad, I might have been able to finish this one as it is a weekend and it is small
Hello Everyone :)
bye, uusue
but this particular weekend day might as well be during the week, given how busy it is!!!
hi everyone else.
Well gee. It did work and rather well... but if you actually state what it is in here and they see it then it isn't going to anymore is it? Duh.
Way to go.
except min. bye to min too :)
hi jes
cya sue
Let's just drop this whole "code" thing.
It worked very well not that long ago, grem.
As you'll see if you check.
And hi again, jes.
Hello sadie52!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to grid
hi Minveryork
hi min, i thought you were leaving, sorry for saying bye instead of hi :)
I thought I was leaving too. I jump on every so often to see what's going on.I am dog sitting and I thougt I had to take them outside, but I do not. Sister will be here any minute to pick up her dog that I'm watching
Sue - read that grandmother article. I can totally see how that would be true. One time during my entire education I had a death in my family. I occurred during summer school. I can't remember if I had to miss an exam, but I had to miss some of my math class. I was able to provide a legit excuse. One and only time.
Yes, Min. That's what I tend to do... just look in now and then while I'm doing other things on here, periodically.
Neil - how's been your weekend?
re 6/21 pls, the one before the 8/50
re 6/21 - to do again
and again, and again, and again...
3 left
Go Jes Go!
thank you..somehow i don't see it boatierra
re + p + to consume food
thanks for dumb it down for me.
yw :)
Oh sorry, boat. Was busy for a little there. Well I'm getting over this cold, so haven't done anything exciting for a few days. :P Other than apartment hunting... I've made the decsion to move down to LA after all. My family and some friends there have been begging me to for a while... and work-wise, it makes more sense. I'll hate leaving SC though.
I'm shocked that I've already found 3 solid contenders [apartments in LA].
is pe7 related to pe6?
WOW. That's sounds exciting, life chaning-wise, but you dread the moving part.
pey,32 is related to pe6,24 -- if that's what you're asking about?
nevermind, found it.
Yes, boat. And LA? Ugh. Not somewhere I've ever wanted to live... but it will be nice to be near my brother and his b/f and Mom, who lives there too now.
And varous friends of ours who are in that area.
But LA is ginormous so it can't be ALL bad. Plus like you said, you'll be closer to your family.
ly6,27 please?
ly6/27 word is ly + anagram of ri4/5 word jesdraggon
ly 6/ 27 - character or style, as in poetry
See,it's good to check in every so often.Happened to check in when a clue was needed. Good timing I guess
thanks, finally found it. fireworks :)
Congratulations jesdraggon on fireworks! Way to go!
Nicely done Jes :)
Congrats, jes!
fireworks and it`s time for supper-
Yes, boat... that's exactly what I don't like about it. Leaving a smaller, quieter and much nicer place for there? Ugh. It's gonna be difficult.
Congrats, majmom.
Congratulations majmom on fireworks! Good for you!
Goodbye majmom! I will see you tomorrow in the chog
I can totally relate to that. My college town is a lot smaller than my home town and I really miss it.
Well done Majmom :)
Oh, just realized I'm over half way done. Go me!
Yes, I've been living in my college town since college, boat. I went to UCSC for Political Science. Loved the area so much, I decided to stay... and it's been great but for so many practical reasons this move is kind of necessary I guess. Sad to leave though!
lol boatierra i just noticed the same thing im halfway done ...
I'll have to return once in a while to visit my friends anyway, so that will be nice.
Sadie52 - :)
Neil - I bet your mom is thrilled!
But I guess I'm out of here for now... things to do. See you later.
Laters!
F's done!
And with that I am off to tackle the dishes and makes myself something to eat. Tchau Babblers :)
*** Finito ***
wtg teach!
Congratulations wvteach on fireworks! Good for you!
Fantabulius boatierra!
Hello everybody :-)
Hi Soodlebum
Hello Soodlebum! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.
congrats wvteach
Hi Sadie, Min et al. Tricky grid today..
It really is not that bad once you use a list Soodlebum
Not listed yet, Min, so hence the trickiness... ;-)
At the moment I am torn between a bath and Babble...
Soodle has lost her voice.
Bath, bath. With good smelling stuff.
(((Molly)))). In full voice!
Why not babble in the bathtub Soodlebum? Kill 2 birds with one stone.Might be tricky,but it's doable I think
MIN!!! As if I would be seen in the chog in the altogether!!
OK, bath it is. Now... Lavender or camomile????
Lavender! And people (won't say who) mention Babbling nude all the time.
Warning to all Babblers......... delete the mental image of Soodle in the bath. It is not a pretty sight.
*Wonders who is imagining Soodle bathing*
Molly - I just noticed your icon, and I am slinking off to the tub, shamefaced.......
You know better that to think that icon has anything to do with you, Soodle.
Helllloooooooooooooooooo.
MollyL, your icon is what I tell my husband every day.
Hello Kaplan the Magne!How are you? Welcome to grid
It seems to be a guy thing, doesn't it Min.
A guy thing or an A-hole thing. My hubby can be both.
Ha ha! Touche Min!
It's all about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Lavender bath a-running... A fragrant Soodle will re-appear shortly.
My husband is driving me insane.
Not in a good way.
Kap, I keep hoping that AAMS (All About Me Syndrome) will get recognized in the DSSMD.
It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Molly.
Oh no Kap, is this the plot from "Gaslight"?
Yeah, I know about NPD. AAMS is worse.
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
I heard about this guy who got divorced after 60 years of marriage.
When asked why, he said
"Enough is Enough!"
I also met a couple in their 80's who have never had an argument in 65 years together. I thought, "what is WRONG with you people?"
There has to be something in the middle.
I agree and I wonder a lot about people who don't argue. It's not normal.
a fight once a day is good for a couple:)
You Crossy? You're my romantic hero!
Eh, if they're both temperamentally like me, not arguing in that time frame is easy to imagine.
it is kind of like reestablishing the front line:)
lol kaplan,there are rough spots as well
Abnormal is not good, but normal isn't always fun either.
Hubs and I don't argue. But that doesn't mean we do not get irritated with one another.
stupid ENABLE does not accept me9
or me 10
exactly, bea
I tried it.
well,ten if there was an s areound
me10? hm.
I think the rule is probably you shouldn't have more arguments than you have s** but I'm not sure I can do that.
ah, indeed, crossy
sorry but i have not the energy to gight 5 times a day no matter who you are:))
fight
gight?
actually it is quite funny..first 15 years it was crossy who was the old hound dog,always with a paw up and begging..but now! now! i have the power! it is crossy who dispenses or withholds at a whim!! mwahahaha..life is good;)
cough..sorry ladies..:)
I'm blushing. But I started it.
i am sorry:)
and kaplan it is quite alright to use the word sex lol
ah, that's what s** was (i can be a little slow at times)
I said sex?
the kids know more in grade 7 sex ed than we knew sliding into the honeymoon suite
no,you bleeped yourself
That was the National Censor.
you have a sensor set up on your computer
?
Lol... My parents are married for 54 years. The night they celebrated their 50th anniversary (at their offsprings' expense), they were arguing, and didn't speak to each other all night. They smiled for the photos, and then reverted to snarl mode... sheesh. 54 years of THAT?
There's going to be a reality show with daytime soap stars! I'm so excited!
That was a change of subject. I could easily have 54 years of snarl. "Enough is enough!"
well,you are here soodles,so dad must of smiled once anyways;))
BTW, if anybody is wondering... the clean fresh smell is the newly bathed Soodle....
and even couples like that usually have more affection than would se4
Nice.
clean body in clean sheets is a joy
I think marriage is a bizarre institution.
Oooh, Seain.... clean sheets on tegyhe bed... My one concession to OCD, I MUST have Egyptian cotton...
agreed, kaplan
well you know what they say about marriage kaplan.....
and Kap, Marriage is indeed a bizzare institution. And who wants to live in an institiution?
you can get married or,once every 5 year find a woman you hate and buy her a house..works out to the same at the end of the finances:)
my marriage was definatly a bizzare institution lol
Hello all. Joys and fresh sheets, well put Soodle.
Hi stidgmere
Hi Sadie and crossy and dc.
Hi Gmere. Yup....laundered fresh ironed egyptian sheets after a bath are better than 10 marriages!
hi, stidgemere
oh, indeed, soodle! :)
hi, sadie
Our favorite soft sheets are from Pakistan. Go figure.
Hi stidgmere!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Murphy calls. Back later perhaps.
hiya dcseain
actually ladies,victoria and i celebrate our 18th this october first.and we are each others best friend,i am the rock she leans on and she is the staff to hold me upright when i falter,we have raised a child,survived cancers,hyterectomies,blindness and other assorted perils to stand united stronger than before.i cannot imagine life without her.hehe no matter how many marriage jokes i tell;))
awww thats nice crosshair congrats
that wonderful, crossy!
Nice, Cross!
<_-----------Almost made it to 18th......Fell at the final hurdle!! LOL
i plan on getting some fine applewood smoked quebec cheddar and some water crackers,some grapes a nice garlic spread,a nice french stick and a small bottle of champers and i am taking her up into the mtn on the first.we are having amazing sunny fall days and i can lay a thick blanket on the ground and feed my baby grapes and cheese and we can while away the afternoon talking about silly things and dreams as the ornage and umbver leaves fall around us in the sunshine.then i figured come back get all cleaned up and a nice movie
Make it a big bottle of champers, and you will have several Babblers along with you!
OMG!!! Crosshair, how romantic.....
i think it is a plan:)
Goodbye stidgmere! I will see you later on in the chat
sounds very nice :)
<--- Quite fancies having grapes fed to her...
Peeled, of course...
i draw the line at peeling them
Hello Flask1! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
rofl..
already have the champers and the cheese,ill shall get the spread,the grapes and french stick night before
and i dug out the glasses we used for our reception/honeymoon
as it so happens,they were stored badly and the stems snapped off of all but two..but two is enough and i will care for the least 2 better
Good evening all....brb
hey all, here for just a few
howdy flask/stidmama
Hiya (((Stid)))
Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
And (((Flask))
hi stidmama and flask
I am well, Min -- and Soodles, and Cross! sounds like you-all are having decent weekends.
hey sadie
Hows life with you, Stiddy?
are those bulldogs, sadie? they look so cute together.
I spent the weekend dog-sitting my sister's dog. She left not long ago. Now my dog is sad that she is gone.
well, I am alternating between panicked and confident, soodles -- my first substitute teaching assignment is Tuesday. I hope I will do well and get invited back. And the weather today is mostly rain. And the elder stidkid destroyed Tom's favorite rolling pin by putting it away with anger... *sigh* AND The deer ate half of one of the sunFLOWERS. top half munched clean off.
yes, dogs like to have playmates, for sure.
I've accomplished fe 4/7 of finishing puzzle so here is a story for today's da4/5: September 25th.I de4/6 it necessary to invest in another laptop. I have begged husband to let me get another one,however,pleas fell on de4/8 ears. Told him that I would de 4/10 him and get one anyway. Hubby dr 4/9 a very me 4/5 picture of what would happen if I did that. It se4/5s husband has realized he has er 5/12 in not letting me obta4/4 a laptop now. He realized how mi4/5rable we we 4/8 fighting over the computer all of the time. Husband's insistance of not getting another laptop has fa 4/8d. He has surre4/4ered to my pleas.My hubby de5/14 it necessary to get another laptop now. It amu4/6s me how hubby refuses to admit that I was right. He says he changed his mind. So now he wants to get a ne4/4 computer that is pretty sophisticated. I told him we could get one like that,however, it would depe4/6 on the price. Want to get a computer that has a rebate that you can re6/24.I am going to ri4/4 on my fe4/7 now and me7/36 on out of here and me 4/5 my friend Ja 4/9 for some drinks.She likes to drink liquor, but I like to drink li7/36. I hope you have found some more words after re4/5ing this story. This story will be re 8/50 in my profile if anybody needs to re6/21 it later on. I'll be back later on tonight to help out with clues.
stidmama,breathe,relax,do not sweat the small stuff,you will be amazing on tuesday
thanks so much min!
yw
OK, Stid... theres a lot going on there..... You will be an awesome teacher. You exude an air of caring on the net... I can only imagine how much more magnified this is in real life. You are great, and you will be great!!
(((cross))) that's the plan... of course the nightmares last night were pretty bizarre -- how did I manage to make a single wrong turn and end up somewhere in Ontario (if I understood the street signs in the dream)....
thanks for the great support, all!
Min... thank you :-)
My hubby is starting a new job tomorrow after being out of work for almost two years.It has been a rough time to say the least. Hopefully things will get better once he starts working and contributing to income.
yw Soodlebum
congrats to your hubby, min!!!

Oh, Min, that is the best news. All the very best to him in his new job. :-)

thanks to Min, I am down to 34
Thank you Soodlebum. He has 1 month of training and 3 months of probation.I hope it makes it through the 4 months.He is doing something he has never done b4
Onwards and upwards, Min.. Onwards and upwards!
red angus roast of beef,somthered in onions and secret herbs and spices peas soaked in a light sugar water( got a bunch of fresh pea pods for a fella down street) and mounds of fluffy mashed tatties with butter and gravy and a dozen yorkie puddings
*wiping drool off keyboard* CROSS! WHY do you do this to me????
Sometimes I feel like saying onward&OUTward though
lol,sorry stidmama
<-----What Stid said...
Speaking of dinner,I need to figure out mine.I'm sure it won't be as good as crosshair's. I will be back later.
Min.. this must be a positive step... Keep thinking positive, ok?
have a lovely evening, Min -- and a super week!
<----Would sell a Soodle arm or leg to be at Crossy's dinner table this evening.
okay. I am AT 100 words. Going to put the mirros up in y bedroom OR ELSE. *determined mama look* back later to finish maybe. Hope you-all have most excellent weeks. *poof*
((((Thanks Stiddy))) And all the best to you in the week ahead.
Good night all. Thanks for the company this evening :-)
hi all
JMC... just before I poof... how is the house situation?
Somehow, "just before I poof" doesn't sound right.
Looking at my last post Molly, I cannot but agree with you.
How about...'Just before I retire to my egyptian-cotton-clad bed', how is your house?
My enquiry seems to be academic, as JMC is not replying :-)
it is suppose to begin being built tomorrow
i was catching up on the chog
but poof away don't let me stand in your way
((JMC)))) I feel your pain.
well i don't want to get my hopes up too high! haha

i found a great chrome game crossy--majong words
hi jan
link for it?
got it, thanx cross!
haha jan
I popped in again because gamecast has frozen on the Athletics-Angels game in the bottom of the ninth.
yikes!
how close was the score?
The Angels had been leading 5 to 2 but the A's scored 4 in the top of the ninth to take the lead. And, apparently, they kept it--because now the game says final, 6-5 A's.
well then you didn't miss too much but too bad the last inning in a game like that is what you want to see
The Angels are holding onto a wild card possibility, but with only three left to play, this loss is probably it for them. Must really sting.
ah well what with my team being the nationals i wasn't really paying attention :-)
but it looks good for us for next year
Haha, it's worse for me--I'm a Mariners fan!
haha! could be worse you could be an astros fan!
True, true. Though I imagine they're salivating over having the first pick in the draft. One of the ways that hope springs eternal...
it will be interesting to see if that does them any good--we of course made out with strousnider and harper
sorry strausberg
strousnider is a local hardware store!
Indeed--Pittsburgh has had plenty of low draft picks and it hasn't done them much good...
did you get a chance to see strasuberg pitch yet?
Only on TV, not in person.
all of his games sell out even when we are tanking because he is such a fabulous pitcher
it is worth the price of the ticket i tell you
in fact, he was the reason i decided to continue my season tickets
I did get to one Nationals game this year--the one where they came back to beat the Mariners in the ninth inning. It was a sweltering humid night, but the fans didn't seem to mind after the come-back!
reaf
that was a good game
Reaf Red!
hi red!
i think it is spelled reef
hello, I was lurking, but somehow ended up in the wrong box.
;-)
Easy to do, red.
your sub-conscience wanted to talk
I suppose, but I have nothing to say!
haha how is your hip?
It's not so good. I have to go back to PT, but considering the loousy PT discharged me early, it is just a minor set back.
that is soo irritating when they discharge you from pt early--i had to fight and fight to keep my mother in
it is frustrating because it sets up such an antagonistic feeling. My Doc has been more helpful this time.
glad to hear that -- your doc needs to set the tone for the pt
well, we will see what happens on Monday. this all occurred on Friday, and I do have an apponintment for the first week in October, but my Doc felt it should be like, this monday...so we will see. He probably doesnot want his surgery messed up...
anyway, not much news here.
ok, gotta run. thanks for listening.
good luck and i hope things work out monday
any clues for fa6/42please?
fa6/42...what you turn on to cool the air + short name for an airliner
okay i am going to make nachos for supper--sorry flask don't have it
thanks Molly!
You're welcome Flask.
Thanks from me too, Molly.
You're welcome Jan. Did you get the game back?
me6/39 pls
me 6/39...first part of what you take when you are sick + annoying pest that you swat
ty Molly
: )
reading back,there is also a shortage of hospital beds and pt slots here,seems they are tossing people out of recovery rooms before they have even half stabilized
that will only result in pts having to be reshopsitalized
they just teach us to do wound and dressing care at home that used to be the sole baliwick of trained murses
nurses
and like you say,many have to go back again
well here, patients can get a visiting nurse but only for a few visits, then the patient and/or family are taught to dressings etc
would be cheaper inho,to open up a few more beds and hire a few nmore nurses
same here peri
indeed crossy, it may seem like they are saving money, etc. but they are not
and patients lives are being put at risk
indeed
I worked in hospitals until 2008 and it semd that patients were being discharged home quciker and sicker
i see so many rooms in our hospital that are now used just for storage and yet in triage and the hall in emerge people are lining the halls in gurneys..sometimes for days
our resident surgeon told me that there are 25 beds in emerg and that as of this date 20 are waiting for rooms and 5 are available for triage!
5!!
always 20 waiting and 5 for new cases
I remember a few years back they were trying to authorize insurance companies to insist that mastectomies be done on an outpatient basis. Somebody coined the phrase "drive by mastectomy"--it was brilliant and put an end to that nonsense.
OMG
that is insane
Years back, they sent my Mom home after bladder surgery with a catheter in.
aren't new moms discharged in 24 hours?
oh yes peri,if there are no complications,they are right out of there
Most of the time Peri, but I had no use for being in the hospital any longer than that after I had my kids.
me7/36....can I have a clue please?
even if they tear,they are out stiches and all
24 hours seems such a short time, you never know what might happen to mom or baby
Having a baby is nothing like as invasive as major surgery, though. I was happy to leave the hospital seven hours after childbirth, but I really resented being sent home three hours after major throat surgery!
as it so happens,my wife developed a blood clot and had to be readmitted 2 days after the birth and i was at home with new baby..who 6 days later had to be readmitted for a week with severe jaundice and was under the bi;;iruben(sp) lights
all too fast...
flask, it starts as the opposite of nice, to wander around
see, that is what I meant, crossy. 24 is too short a time
they used forceps and suction to tuen the kid and he came out with a black eye..no wonder jaundice
thanx winter!
ta6 pls
2 of them were going at it till i had to say"dr,s, would you like some salad spoons?"
Like a stroller for two, Peri.
ty Molly, great clue
: )
When you have kids that are born 18 months apart, a ta6 stroller becomes your best friend.
And fireworks!
Thanks to Molly
*!*!*!* Jan *!*!*!*
Congratulations jan on your fireworks! Good for you!

and that is fine,they can kill each other off in there
(((crossy))) !!
my aussie beauty!! is lickety taking care of you? he better!
hi, mrp, we have a little bit of trouble with gangs coming to the university from Chicago but it is pretty infrequent
There are plenty of street gangs in Canada.
and hi, snags and crossy!
howdy sue
we do not see them here at all molly
and molly!
none
zero
nada
*blush* crossy! he is doing the best he can my dear... taking care :))
we don't have gangs, period. We have mafia issues, but not gangs
My hubby went through the STOP program last Sunday because he had an accident and didn't want the dang ticket on his driving record. The instructor is an elementary school teacher by day and she informed the class that the drug of preference for 3rd grade 8 yr olds, is the hand sanitizer they take and dilute with water. The alcohol is quite potent in the sanitizer. good grief. 8 year olds.
good lord snags!!
hi uni, crossy.
My reaction too Mrp.
hand sanitizer??
our babiesl.
I think the mafia is much more dangerous than gangs.
howdy snags
crossy, the hand sanitizers that stores have sitting on counters for your convience.
though in the 70,skids used to huff airplane glue and drink aqua velva aftershave
the schools here have removed the sanitizer from view so the kiddies can't get ahold of it
oh gosh crossy........... aftershave.
idiot kids do idiot things... thank god i don't have idiot kids
indeed
or eat sterno
Students just LOVE the hand sanitizers at my school and yes there are plenty of idiotic kids at my school.
dad just called... he is on a friggin train about to arrive at our station. bloody toughass fathers!
olol
Min, I love it too, and usually carry a small bottle of it in my pocket.
we have hand sanitizer in every room.... 1 litre bottles! if i find any little idiot kid drinking my sanitizer, i will ram the bottle down their throat
da coming for a visit mrp?
da coming ... he called from the train, only 1 station away.
nice to have fair warning eh? lol
we don't have anything in this house, not even tea!
!!! GASP! NO TEA??!!
then he will have to do without
NO TEA!!! crossy, come over and smack lickety for me please!!
i so need a cuppa right now! cause my silly old father is about to turn up on my doorstep!!
omg! this house comes to a grinding halt if there is no tea!
Good evening all.
howdy wht
well, I ain't bloody moving until I get my tea!!
hi wht :)
Mr P. I think you might need more than tea. Crossy may be able to provide some of his bacon vodka.
o offer my vodka freely
i
why is the old goat on a friggin train???
Hello wht! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.
Crossy, I prefer to offer your vodka than mine. :^)
hey dad, if you wanna come see us, we will PICK YOU UP... cause you just had 3 friggin stents shoved up your groin into your heart a few days ago!!!!
cause he is retired and bored like my da,he spends his life calling the entire planet of the blower and the other half of his life planning unanounced visits
stupid old man!! aarrgggghhhhhh!!!
even with tubes driping and waist bags to be emptied
lol crossy! sounds like we have the same dad
almost crossy
almost mrp!
hahaha !!
lol,it is late for me and that is my excuse
ok, i better get out of bed and dress myself... clear out the aftermath of 5 kids here last night and pretend I am sooooooo pleased he came to see me (via a friggin train)!!
did you know he was coming at all?
*breathe, breathe, breathe, just pretend he didn't take the train*
at least he did not fly:)))))
Mr P. At least maybe you can pick up some tea on the way to the train station.
crossy, he said he would like to visit, and i said 'sure dad! just call me and will get Mark to pick you up'... he is a right card ringing me 1 station before my house!!!
choose some tea you can add bozze to
wht, i can't drive!! recovering from surgery and depending on a 'useful for somethings' husband
hi again all
with stuff like this,you are all lucky we do not just grab some hard tack and a compass and walk into the bush lol
so, he will be dropping off dad, and i will be sending him straight out the door to the supermarket for food!! he will have that pissy look on his face, and I have vowed not to yell at him for 7 whole days.
hi all
poor mrp
So maybe if you give him some clues and a list, Lickety can get the tea. He seems to do lists and clues pretty well.
give him a list...with a kis.. and wink for something special later mrp ,snort>

A report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1995 indicated that between 1978 and 1995 no less than 37 deaths in the U.S. were credited to vending machines. (How much do you really want that Snickers?)
almost 4 deaths a year
Lovely suefrad625!
Goodbye carleekat! I will see you tomorrow in the log
Twenty-one-year-old college student bangs and rocks and tilts 900-pound Coke machine to dislodge a can of soda. Coke machine finally tips over on top of college student. College student dies. College student's parents sue Coca-Cola, vending-machine manufacturer, and school, claiming there should've been some sort of warning. The gods of Fate and Destiny shake their heads and sigh. This is a true story. Coke begins placing cautionary stickers on vending machines: "Warning: Tipping may cause injury or death." This part is also true. Many employees at the vending machine company undoubtedly got a good laugh out of this, wondered what's next, stickers on fine cutlery saying "Warning: Inserting butcher knife into body may cause injury or death"? Or perhaps on large bridges: "Warning: Leaping off may cause death or at least a bad headache." Buses? "Warning: Do not step in front of this vehicle or you might die in a manner everyone jokes about and then how would you feel?" The list goes on, and it too may cause injury or death.
and i am off as well tc all and happy babbling
