It's fine davurs. I've played on OMGPOP for a while now... a lot. No problems. Same with a lot of people I know. m9f9l plays a lot on there too.

And featherbee.

And Pinikula too.

1:04 am

I loved doing a sampler from Williamsburg -- also did some as a kid.

Oh, and dcseain... ask them.

1:07 am

I'm playing pool right now!LOL

1:07 am

yes flosey- i had to work 1/2 half hour every day... and if it did not suit her ( which was often in the beginning) she would undo it and i had to do it all over. i learne quickly and well and graduated to crewel but still like embroidery better

1:08 am

sang at a funeral earlier in the day.. and then attended a baby shower. I was beat.

hello neil! How are you?

1:14 am

but if I hadn't fell asleep, I would have gone out again.. and got things out of my car and locked it! And wouldn't have had my camera stolen :-(

Oh, so sorry to hear about your camera.

1:15 am

yeah.. me too!LOL

1:15 am

SO glad I got the pictures of the baby and got them uploaded before that happened though!

1:15 am

phantom category/categoried

Oh getting there I guess, thanks. Getting over a cold and exhausted after getting up too early to drive down to LA then apartment hunting. You?

1:16 am

Did you find an apt, neil?

I've been fighting a sinus thing but other than that...fine. Counting down the weeks until two more grandbabies get here. Apartment hunting sounds fun!

1:18 am

apartment hunting sounds... tiring!

Not definite yet jilli. Seeing another one tomorrow.

1:18 am

(I hate looking for dwellings)

1:18 am

happy hunting, neil!

1:19 am

good luck Neil!

Yeah and stressful... swore I would never live there too. Not to leave Santa Cruz for that place. But... ugh. I've made the decision now so going ahead.

I don't...I love seeing new places and how others decorate. I don't have an eye for that kind of thing.

1:20 am

me neither!

1:20 am

way to stick to your guns Neil. I guess? It will be a good thing?

Neil, does this put you closer to your family?

1:23 am

phants -- egret and regret

Stick to my guns? Think you misunderstood there, Mary?

1:24 am

well.. you're new decision.

Yes Nonnie... a couple of them are here in LA [staying with one of them at the moment] and another is closer to here than wherre I'm moving from.

No, I didnt'

Ugh. Try that again: No, I didn't "stick to my guns" because I tried to resist moving own here. But now I am... they wore me down.

And I'm exhausted and need to get off here. Have a good night everyone... take care.

1:26 am

goodnight neil -- hope you'll feel better tomorrow

1:26 am

nite Neil.

You too, Neil and good luck with the apartment hunting.

3:16 am

not too great, Dianne, thanks for caring :) Hard times atm. And how are you and yours?

3:17 am

Sorry to hear that. All good on this side of the water.

3:18 am

that is great :)

3:28 am

time to hang up my laundry, back in a bit

3:35 am

back

3:42 am

good morning. Any news on mrp? I kept checking until quite late, my time, but the last thing I read was that they were sending out helicopters looking for her husband!

3:43 am

hi rubyfoo, I have missed the whole story. What is up?

3:44 am

from what she said, starting at about 7:30PM (my time), Lickety had disappeared and she was frantic.

3:45 am

ah ok. Then I hope he has showed up again.'

3:45 am

First she was driving around looking for him (middle of the night) and, finally, called the police. In Babble, we were all telling her to stay home, not go driving around in the dark, etc. But, after that, I don't know what happened. He had left on foot after some sort of dispute with her.

3:45 am

3:46 am

It was awful a she was hysterical and crying. Hego and Sally and I were all telling her NOT to go out again

3:46 am

looks like he needed some time for himself. Can't be easy for him either atm... and of course mrP shouldn't go out after him. but she is a headstrong lady.

3:47 am

that's what we were saying, to leave him alone to so** things out

3:47 am

yep, by far the wisest way to go.

3:50 am

we were all really worried as it sounded like she'd behave rashly

3:50 am

I checked, no news in her profile

3:52 am

my guess is, if he were still missing, she would be here on babble to vent.

3:53 am

I hope that no news is a good sign

3:53 am

silly question, but has lickety put up a list?

3:53 am

yes but that is an automatical thing, most days

3:54 am

but wouldn't he have to be at home?

3:55 am

I don't believe so, as far as I know it updates automatically. But because it uses another version of enable, sometimes it has to be adjusted manually. As far as I can see, this grid should be fine without actual adjusting.

3:55 am

I never use his list, but I thought he had to do something

3:56 am

I can always see if the list is up, because in my babble browser the box flashes green for new words and red for wrong words.

3:56 am

(sosmebody's dog is almost in here!)

3:57 am

lol yes, and almost his nickname too: terror.

3:57 am

hahah

4:01 am

time to kill off the Ts. I have 16 left! All Ts.

4:02 am

first 60 were easy but will have to save the rest. If you hear anything, pls send me an e-mail

4:02 am

will do, but will be done soon here.

4:17 am

{{molly}}

4:17 am

Mr. President posted sometime last night that Lickety is at his Father's house. That's all I know.

4:18 am

ty for that, I was really worried about her

4:18 am

the last I had heard, at 11PM my time, was that helicopters were looking for him!

4:22 am

*poof* with 95 left

Knock, knock. Anyone there?

5:21 am

anyone there who?

lol. Good morning.

5:22 am

Good morning Babbletopia!

6:22 am

hello everybody

6:24 am

anybody?

6:24 am

Just me, Ruby

6:24 am

stats for the 10?

6:24 am

that's a lot!

I'm back - and just in time to say Hi to ruby!

6:25 am

{{sally}}

6:25 am

that was some night, last night!

I would like to be a fly on the wall when the wanderer returns :-)

6:26 am

did you hear that he turned up at his father's house?

Yes, I looked back in the chog to find out what had happened.

6:33 am

I'm only 1/4 of the way through and hitting a wall. Not good.

6:33 am

just found the y babblet; I always forget that one

6:33 am

do you have the 10?

I just found the whale :-)

6:34 am

I've been looking for it, recognized the prefix, but still looking

6:34 am

Ruby, re 10/84

6:34 am

Definitely no 10 here. I have one 8 (plural of where you might watch a play or film). American and British spellings on the singular.

I have three 9s, but not the 10 yet.

6:35 am

ty, molly, I can always count on you :D

6:36 am

my best words, on my own, are ca8/50 and 9/66

6:36 am

given the monkeys an extra banana

6:37 am

Good for you Ruby. It's nice to find the larger words without help.

6:37 am

morning all

6:37 am

but still hunting the 10!

6:37 am

hello carlee

6:37 am

Morning Carlee

6:38 am

hi molls...ruby

6:38 am

I can tell you what the 10 begins with if you want.

6:38 am

molly told me and I'm fiddling around,....hello boat

6:38 am

sliding grid over to where i cant see it... so i will get work done when i wake up

6:39 am

Hey :)

6:43 am

yay, nbt (but still no 10!

6:43 am

morning, all!

Working on the R words now, ruby. If I get it I'll toss you a clue :-)

6:44 am

{{sue}}

6:44 am

hi, ruby! How have you been?

6:44 am

Ruby do you want a clue or are you trying to find it on your own? Morning Sue.

6:45 am

hi sue

6:45 am

if nobody else minds, I'd be very grateful -- but it may be too soon for them

6:45 am

I'm OK, thank you, enjoying Indian summer with no Indians

6:45 am

Why can't 'redig' be a word??? People do it all the time, grr...

6:46 am

The first part describes clothing or decor of the past...the second part is the past tense of what you do on stage

6:46 am

{{molly}} thank you

6:47 am

hi, molly, carlee, and boa!

6:47 am

Hey sue :)

Got it - thanks Molly

6:47 am

did u get your marking done sue?

6:48 am

this is a nice grid

6:48 am

I agree about redig Boat

6:48 am

lol, ty :)

6:49 am

I also think people 'recater' like when the caterer screws up the food and they have to bring out new food.

6:49 am

ok..time to get on the shuttle to take me to the other campus... back in 30 min

Oh, and two other words off that 10.

6:50 am

But, noooooooooooooo, Enable just isn't up on that!

6:50 am

and redigest is a nice phantom

6:50 am

nope, carlee, the papers are still sitting in my backpack

6:50 am

but today I have a fair amount of time so should get them done with no trouble

6:50 am

There are several good phantoms today.

6:50 am

Redigest, like a cow, lol

6:51 am

Very good Boat, gold star for you. : )

6:51 am

that's what I was thinking, boat

And I so want to enter React!

react and regret

6:51 am

is decat when you shoo one out of the house

6:51 am

hello kaplan

6:52 am

Oh! Thank you for the gold star :) I haven't gotten one of those in aeons!

Not in this house. Stern frown.

Hello rubyfoo.

6:52 am

Decat, no doubt.

6:52 am

Decat is when you rid yourself of one.

6:52 am

my Ruby loves them. One comes and hangs out in front of the house near her, the two of them watching "bird TV"

lol, bird TV

If derat is an word, and it is in Enable, so should decat and dedog be.

6:53 am

she sits there for hours

6:53 am

I agree Kap. Where is the complaint department?

6:53 am

I love dedog

6:53 am

wouldn

6:53 am

toops

This is it. complain away.

6:54 am

wouldn't an oarer be someone who, well, oars?

6:54 am

I tried it, too, sue

Deflea, debug, derabbit.

We have some bird feeders on suction caps on our windows, and the felines (whoops, nearly!) sit for hours on the windowsill nose to the glass.

6:54 am

despouse

6:54 am

(another way to say divorce)

6:54 am

I saw a Hoarder episode where a house literally had to be derabbited. Poor little critters

Despouse = delouse.

I'm into it!

6:55 am

<---Laughing at despouse

6:55 am

oh yeah!

Is derabbiting when you get rid of the dust bunnies?

Delicious!

6:55 am

no, dedust

Defect.

6:55 am

Oh Boat, how can you watch those shows about hoarders? They gross me out.

Deedledee

6:56 am

this is ao good, I'm actually laughing!

6:56 am

ok, running late, on with the day!

6:56 am

my sister,(who is one) sends me clippings from the Times about hoarders

6:56 am

Good Ruby, laughing is good for you.

6:58 am

I'm starting to think Yetta has an "in" with the grid master, like Peri.

6:58 am

Dust bunnies, if only. No, the bunnies were left to their own devices and had over run the house. They had chewed through walls and had their own passage ways to get around. It was astounding and massively unsanitary.

How?

6:58 am

I'll meet you in the pb, molly, that's the babblet

6:58 am

Being in the grid often Kap.

Oh, yes.

Not quite ruby

But I am not a word, although I do play one on TV.

6:59 am

I've only been in it once and everybody thought it was NancyBoy, so I didn't say anything

6:59 am

sorta

6:59 am

Oops, off to rustle up some breakfast in the PB. Yeah Sally, general rule is you can't use a word or a part of the word, or so I understand.

6:59 am

Oh, I had a house-sitting gig earlier this summer for a month and the house came with cable, something I don't have. So I got to watch all kinds of thing I normally don't get to watch. I was like a kid in a candy store! *big cheesy grin*

7:00 am

I won't tell anybody, molly!

Al n, Y***a, always sit togedda, watching TV every single night...

lol Molly, you just did! I know the rule, but yetta is not a word!

word within a word.

7:01 am

Yes I did and that is why I am making breakfast in the PB

7:01 am

worlds within worlds.....

7:01 am

good morning babblers!

7:01 am

hated

7:01 am

Peace without end, Amen

7:01 am

well. starting off with a bang. :X

7:01 am

hello evaN

7:02 am

Oo, thanks Eva! ;)

7:02 am

Yes Eva, I ha5 that game last night.

7:02 am

amen to that, mols!

Hop in there for some breakfast, Eva.

Erect and react are NOT here? I regret that!

7:03 am

Sausage, egg and cheese on bagels is almost ready. And the bran muffins for you know who.

7:03 am

phantom:redactor

7:04 am

I thought that was French, anyway

7:04 am

::steals tray of sausage, egg, and cheese::

7:04 am

can't get decent sausage here, only yucky diots

My egrets have flown!

7:04 am

Oo, egg and bagel sounds good MollyL, yum :)

Funny, because I don't know if egrets even fly.

7:04 am

as have my regrets

How could I have married a man who eats onions at breakfast???

7:05 am

Egrets fly

I am off to have a neck MRI. SYL.

7:05 am

Onions at breakfast? Just counter with garlic :)

7:05 am

"my" hawk is hanging around, watching the bird feeder. She is gorgeous!

7:06 am

or a gun....

7:06 am

Onions are "breakfast approved". Onions in home fries, sliced onion on a bagel, onions in a western omelet.

7:06 am

I make DH an egg-white omelet with onions and 3 kinds of hot peppers plus tabasco

7:07 am

Hawks are beautiful birds Ruby.

7:07 am

Onions in homefries during camping...now that's good stuff :)

7:07 am

it's South Beach-ish

7:07 am

she is lovely and misses the little birds but lands on my window box

Do you know what sort of hawk she is?

7:08 am

One of the best smells ever is potatoes and onions frying in a pan. Ah!

7:08 am

so I get a really close look and she can't see me

7:08 am

She is an "epervier d'Europe" grey and white. The males have reddish throats

7:08 am

Concur MollyL :)

7:08 am

welp, speaking of breakfast, i must go forage for some!

7:08 am

I keep a bird book by that window

7:09 am

I'm sure she's the same one that came in the house

Quick google. A kind of sparrowhawk then. Lovely, and very fast.

7:09 am

it's a great way of passive bird-watching, having a feeder just outside a window

7:10 am

she weighs about 5 lbs (just guessing, but from carrying her outside)

She got trapped?

7:10 am

the other day she picked a green finch off the feeder, hit the window, and the little bird shook itself and flew off!

7:11 am

she flew in the front door; I think she needs glasses!

7:11 am

Morning ladies

7:11 am

she pooped all over the place in her panic, but when I held her firmly by the shoulders, she settled down

7:12 am

hello hego

7:12 am

Just checking in to see if Lickety got found

7:12 am

Yes, he was at his Father's house.

7:12 am

he turned up at his father's house, molly read and reported!

7:13 am

Oh my, and all that.

7:13 am

Oh my, and all that.

7:13 am

pretty hair-raising, last night, eh Hego?

7:13 am

Well, I'm glad all is okay.

7:13 am

I worry about that girl Ruby

7:13 am

I was picturing a panicked mrp. crying and driving around in the dark!

7:14 am

I was concerned about the kids too.

7:14 am

Oh, so Lickety was found/turned up OK? That's good to hear. I was wondering.

7:15 am

I was truly scared for her

7:15 am

I wonder why she didn't check with the family firsy.

7:15 am

uh first.

7:15 am

when we asked her if he had family in the area, she said no

7:15 am

I was too Ruby

7:15 am

and he didn't take the car

7:16 am

She said she called her mother in law, but why not the father?

7:16 am

It was all kind of surreal.

7:16 am

all very strange.....

7:16 am

snap, hego

7:16 am

Here you are playing a game and end up doing crisis intervention.

7:16 am

lol Ruby

7:17 am

I have to go, cooking dinner already, so that I can lie down for a while

Not the first time hego :-(

7:17 am

lol hego :)

7:17 am

Right Sally

7:17 am

Byr Rube

7:17 am

I think that is part of the reason we're here for each other. I have certainly been helped by you babblers more than once!

7:18 am

but I don't think I ever scared anybody

7:18 am

I remember Ruby

7:18 am

But this was really extreme

7:18 am

like that time somebody in the US did an intervention for zzoozz

7:18 am

I hope they'll be okay.

7:18 am

I would have thought the police would have checked with family members before starting a search.

7:18 am

and sally solved my heron problem!!!

7:18 am

Ah! I got the 10 :)

7:18 am

yes that was extreme also

7:19 am

hi folks, hi and bye ruby!

Yes, ruby, if it's just a moan, but speaking for myself only, if I were in that sort of panic I would not be on Babble crying my heart out, but on the phone. Not criticising mrp, you realise, just not understanding it.

7:19 am

good for boat!

7:19 am

I remember that Ruby, and I miss Zooz.

7:19 am

It's a past tense of the re 8/45.

7:19 am

yes, many questions, I think our collective blood pressure went up a few points last night

7:19 am

{{JBV}}

7:19 am

does anybody know whatever happened to him?

7:19 am

For sure

Is he not here any more?

7:20 am

i don't know

7:20 am

Well someone manages the Babble Expert. Either he or she.

7:20 am

no, he was back for a while, but I've never seen him again. And he is close to my time zone and the same as yours, sally

7:20 am

Haven't seen Zooz around in a long time. I hope he's okay.

7:20 am

so we would see him if he came on

Well I've not been around much. Things intervene, and maybe that's all with zooz.

7:20 am

Well now that I'm relieved, I can go have breakfast.

7:21 am

hagd All

7:21 am

I'm here every day, sally, which says something about my life ( :( ), but I think I would have seen him

7:21 am

{{hego}}

7:21 am

Lickety manages Expert and puts the clue list up. He was on this morning to tell people clues were up.

7:21 am

There are FOUR 9's?? Ugh.

He may just not have chatted. You can look in the archives to find out if he played.

7:22 am

that is interesting Molly; what do you think that means?

They are not hard 9s.

7:22 am

easy for you to say, sally haha

7:22 am

What Ruby, that Lickety was on?

7:22 am

Define "hard" ;) lol

I thought Expert was automatic. Perhaps the message is too.

7:23 am

yes, after last night

7:23 am

aaah, that makes sense

7:23 am

I don't think you can send an automatic message to the chat log. Ruby I just think it means that Lickety has access to a computer where he is.

7:23 am

which means he's OK

Two plurals and one present tense 9. Just trying to find the other one, have all of them.

7:24 am

I'll check lexulous and see if mrp made a move

7:24 am

Or at least he has acess to a computer with Internet.

7:24 am

I would assume if he is at his Father's house he is okay.

Make that three plurals for the 9s, and one present tense of the 10.

7:27 am

just checked lexulous and mrp hasn't moved since yesterday

7:27 am

Good Morning Babble Friends

7:27 am

{{dancer}}

7:28 am

(((Ruby))) how are you

7:28 am

and hello sally, molly, boat and all you lurkers

7:28 am

ok..back...

7:28 am

excellent, river, enjoying the tail end of warm weather

7:29 am

how are the children?

7:29 am

hello carlee

Hi River. Sorry, wasn't ignoring you, just deep in the T words.

7:29 am

I know...been warm here too but fr5 is expected this week....will finally be time to eat those brussell sprouts...waiting on fr5

7:30 am

my eyes are getting blurry. nice to see all of you -- big hugs all around

7:30 am

Kids are great...Sarah is loving college and Keith is my soccer star....got the hat trick on Saturday winning 3-1

Have a nice nap ruby.

7:30 am

and I just arrived.....sigh.....have a good night ruby

7:30 am

whats up with lickety and mrp?

7:31 am

reading back in the chat...I guess he is at his Dads

7:31 am

It's a long story Carlee. Mr. President was on here quite a bit yesterday saying Lickety had gone missing after a fight.

7:31 am

oh dear

7:31 am

just realized I have NBT - whoohoo

7:31 am

Good morning everyone. Sally, I love your profile pic :) I am also a cat lover and have often thought of having chickens. My neighbors have some and they follow me around.

He vanished, went out to the chickens and never came back. mrp was hysterical on here because he had been gone about 8 hours, and ended up calling the police and they were searching with helicopters and so on. Then he turned up at his father's.

7:32 am

<sigh>

I love my chickens :-)

7:33 am

I've been thinking about the things that mrp said yesterday... what if they were meant to force his hand or to take a jab at someone else?

7:33 am

yikes...I wasnt on in the afternoon yesterday so didnt realize she had called the police

She did in the end.

7:33 am

that family has gone through so much...they need an escape

7:34 am

Good morning everyone

I have no idea what the original problem was, and not my business, she just said he had done something bad, and we all thought he just needed time on his own to think things through.

7:34 am

((Mom)) hello

7:34 am

Hi Mom

7:34 am

Hi mom

Hi Mom

7:34 am

(((River))) good morning, and good morning Molly and Deb

7:35 am

good afternoon Sally

17 to go! Must just empty tumble dryer.

7:35 am

100 left here...

7:35 am

194 left here

7:36 am

I asked her what it was that caused such an escalation and she said that she very calmly asked him about something in particular, he denied it, she said that she knew he was lying, he admitted to it, she then asked why she was lying (all still in calmness), and that's kinda when he took off. I'm guessing he couldn't handle the being caught in a lie part.

7:37 am

oh dear... well..hopefully they sort it all out... they have been through and still are going through so much...

7:37 am

Sorry, I meant to spell check all that before posting it...She then asked why he was lying (all still in calmness), and that's when kinda when he took off.

7:37 am

good morning ((Carlee)) and Boatierra

7:38 am

Morning Mom :)

7:38 am

In all fairness, there are two sides to every story and we only got one side of it here. I hope those two work their differences out.

7:38 am

Good morning Babble Land!

7:38 am

good morning Molly and Car.

7:38 am

morning car

7:38 am

hi mom ... car.ee { group hug round the room }

7:39 am

((hug))

7:39 am

I agree MollyL. We only get to hear her side. And I always hope that she tries to tell her side as plainly as possible.

7:39 am

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

7:39 am

And then poor Glantarell....she is in quite a mess too. : (

7:40 am

what is happening to Glantarell?

7:40 am

I agree, poor Glant. No one should have to live with what she's living with.

7:40 am

Hello hello

7:40 am

Hello Annie

7:40 am

Hello Annie!

7:40 am

Has anyone heard if Lickety has been found

7:40 am

hi annie dear

7:40 am

And, good morning

Back.

7:40 am

(((Annie))) good morning

7:40 am

He is at his Dad's I guess.

7:41 am

brb

7:41 am

hi carlee, ((Mom)), River, car....carlee, how is school?

7:41 am

Oh, why can't 'ogra' be a word, like a female or 4/6?

7:41 am

Whew! Q's done!

7:42 am

Licety was at his father's or Glant's husband?

7:42 am

ogra sounds good to me

7:42 am

congrats car..

7:42 am

Annie, Glant and her husband are estranged, yet he refuses to move out. And he is actively having sexual relationships with other women.

Lickety was found at his father's.

7:42 am

Several of us have been talking about him, Lickety. He was located at his dad's. But we have not heard from mrp since.

7:42 am

Molly, I hope not in the home he shares with Glant

7:42 am

lol, annie :)

7:43 am

Such awful dramas here :-(

7:43 am

why doesnt Glant move out....that is terrible

7:43 am

Yep Annie, so Glant posted.

7:43 am

hi boat :)

7:43 am

I don't think Glant can afford to move out.

7:43 am

Oooh! Trif will love this grid! TH 7 & 8

7:43 am

Hey annie :)

7:43 am

.....TH 7 & 8's and AC 5 & 6!!!!

7:44 am

Molly, I cannot believe it...what a horror! Cant she go to court and have him removed from the home?

7:44 am

Horrible situations for all of them.

7:44 am

she should not have to live that way....what a jerk

From what I read, he has moved another woman into the house.

7:45 am

Not sure of all the details Annie. It just sounds like a very intolerable situation.

7:45 am

OMG

7:45 am

de8?

7:45 am

oh dear. I thought I had it bad being unemployed.

7:45 am

In both situations though...our friends need to be VERY careful about what they type here. I worry about that for them in the long run.

I cannot begin to imagine what I would do in that situation, but I think it would probably make the front pages.

7:45 am

and the woman went knowing his wife is in the home...

7:45 am

And from what I understand of the law, if a couple is still married, one cannot have another removed from a home they both own.

de 8 - someone who finds things out, two spellings and two plurals.

7:46 am

has she not filed for divorce claiming adultery?

7:46 am

The law in Wales or the US Molly?

7:46 am

I agree Car. Very much so. This is a public forum.

7:46 am

TY Sally.

7:46 am

pigeonman...de8...one who finds things... extend the 6/24

7:47 am

Oh US Bich. I know nothing of Wales law.

7:47 am

Sorry...was too slow obviously!

7:47 am

Hi Champ

7:47 am

Maybe if you want to have this forum and make sure your spouse is the one who has to go then the best way to accomplish that is to post here.

7:47 am

any clues for the Y?

7:47 am

I did not know that Molly

7:47 am

thanks Sally and Champ

7:47 am

ye + double consonant

7:47 am

Hi Mom and everyone. Lurking again!

7:47 am

YE** my team won!

7:47 am

Hi Champ!

7:47 am

thanks bichon

7:48 am

: ( : ( My team didn't.

7:48 am

annie school..i LOVE IT!!!

7:48 am

thanks car

7:48 am

Thanks car...I never see that word!!!

7:48 am

hello champ

mmm, thinking about British law. Not something I have had to worry about, but I think you could go to a solicitor and get an injunction, especially if you both own the house.

7:48 am

carlee, I am so happy for you!

7:48 am

i am just waiting for my religious studies class to start

7:48 am

Carlee! I am glad you're back! I missed your Hello earlier! Hello Dahling!!!!!!

7:48 am

I think it works the same here Sally but it all costs money too

And if you are married, these days I think that it is assumed that you both own the house, not like once upon a time.

7:49 am

I'm not sure you can have someone kicked out of a house they are a co-owner of.

7:49 am

I dare you to stand up and shout "Can I get an AMEN" in the middle of class......

7:49 am

( I had to go to the loo ....being in public place..means packing up everything )

7:49 am

ty. how about the do7?

7:49 am

i am good hun...how are things with you?

No Molly, but she could have the "visitor" kicked out.

7:49 am

LOL car

7:49 am

but you can certainly get a guest kicked out

7:49 am

Very good!!!!! : ))))))))

7:49 am

snap

7:49 am

oh...yeesh..so NOT that kind of class hahaha

You could change the locks.

7:49 am

Yeah River, but I don't think he has moved the woman in. It sounds like he was just bringing her around to have sex with her, gross as that is.

7:50 am

Tee hee!

7:50 am

Wow, what a gem *eyes rolling*

7:50 am

this is more... looking at how the jews view moses...then the christians..then the muslims...and why they view the diff stories as they do...

7:50 am

*Popping in* - In Canada, at least, if you have lawyers involved at least, you can certainly have your spouse kicked out of the house, presuming that you are in the middle of a divorce. I work in a law firm and we frequently use items such as Facebook and posts in public forums to prove one thing or another. It's interesting, but very scary as well. **pops back to searching. Stinky grid**

7:50 am

makes my stomach turn....

Has the woman (not Giant) no shame? Perhaps Giant should just keep walking in and putting the light on.

7:50 am

Actually, i would find a class like that VERY interesting. Keep me posted on it!

7:50 am

adn the subtle differences between the telling of the stories based upon the religious scripture

7:51 am

((((Uni))))) hello

7:51 am

7:51 am

car.ee i can send u my notes..i typically summarize each of my lectures into a short essay...

Thanks for that input Uni. It supports what Car said that people need to take care what they post in public forums.

7:52 am

Hi Pigeonman, sorry I don't have it, but will help you look

7:52 am

TY again Sally!

8:07 am

congrats, Sally!

8:07 am

congratulations Sally!

8:07 am

re 10/84 - to have reference to or influence on past occurrences.

OK, th 10. The first five letters mean sort of vintage, followed by a word meaning what you did on stage.

From the 10 you can get the 8, and also the 9 which is the present tense.

8:08 am

TY!!!!!

8:08 am

thank you :)

And of course the first five letters give you a word on its own.

(And its plural).

8:10 am

Ah, got the other two de's, 8 and 9, sweet!

8:10 am

One 9 to go.

Have you got the ca 9?

8:10 am

that is the 9 I am missing

8:10 am

That's the last one I need.

8:11 am

wait. I have de9, re9 missing two 9's

The ca 8 is what men sometimes need when they can't wee. Then plural it.

8:11 am

Whee! Got all the 8's and 9's now!!!!

There are two de 9s.

8:11 am

Oh, that's what all the pee was earlier!

8:11 am

OK...time to work. Have a great day everyone! Peace and blessings throughout your days.

8:12 am

Thanks sally :)

8:12 am

not getting that ca8

Must go myself. Have a good day.

Peri, men in hospital (and sometimes women) sometimes have to have one of these inserted into their (cough, cough)

8:13 am

ca 8/50 and 9/66 - a flexible or rigid hollow tube employed to drain fluids from body cavities

8:13 am

sheesh, ty, Sally. and I used to work in a hospital too

8:13 am

forgot about that H in the corner

8:13 am

women have catheters put in as well

Boatierra's definition is more accurate but more boring! :-)

Anyway, I'm off.

8:14 am

I just go straight to Dictionary.com. Copy and paste.

8:14 am

LOL, It is not inserted into your "cough cough"

8:14 am

I have the de8/9 those who find thing. help with the other pls

8:15 am

LOL, into your *cough cough* sounds AWFUL lol

8:16 am

LOL, I dont remember who said a ca8 was inserted into your "cough cough"...still laughing in a friendly way

8:16 am

For the other de 8,9 combo just change the last vowel.

8:16 am

duh, ty boat

8:16 am

8:17 am

missing two of the 8s'

8:17 am

ca8, de8x2 and re8 is what I have

8:17 am

OMG, I have all the 8's and I didn't even realize it *blinking*

8:17 am

8:18 am

8:18 am

I will trade you one th 8/45 for a re 8 word

8:18 am

thanks Annie, I will. I hope your is a grand one. ((hugs))

8:19 am

Mom, th8..where you go to see a play

8:19 am

that was for Peri.

8:19 am

re8 is a compound, first part is used in fashion industry re styles in the past. and the 2nd part is what people do on stage

8:19 am

Peri - de 7/40, 8/55 combo, th 7/32, 8/45, 7/32 combo.

8:19 am

thanks Peri and Annie

8:20 am

Ooops, I meant do 7/40, 8/55 combo.

8:20 am

is there a ca8/9?

8:21 am

8:21 am

ty have all the 8's and 9's

8:21 am

Ya, ca 8/9, that's the one where a tube is used to help someone relieve fluids in the body.

8:22 am

Excellent :)

8:41 am

H's done.

8:47 am

Okay, there should be a law against discussing bodily fluids while some of us are still drinking coffee.

8:47 am

But it's a clue :)

8:47 am

lol crossy can watch autopsies and eat spagetti:) morning everyone

8:48 am

Good morning. Actually, I have a very strong stomach. Blood and guts don't bother me. Please pass the steak tartare.

I'll take my steak medium well, thank you very much.

8:51 am

8:51 am

"*Picks teeth with tip of horn*" - That's funny :)

8:52 am

Actually, I don't eat beef or pork. I dig sushi, tho.

8:52 am

and i as well have cut back on red meat..more fish

8:52 am

Better yet if you have some venison, I'll take that!

8:52 am

Now sushi really turns me off. I don't know what it is, but I wouldn't eat it

8:52 am

we will have some moose meat soon boat;)

8:53 am

I really can't eat anything with hooves. Not for ethical reasons, just cause I don't digets it very well.

8:54 am

*digest* rather.

8:54 am

I've never had moose, but I hear it's good. Buffalo and elk, yes.

8:54 am

tbh,i am finding the same as time goes on

8:54 am

it is very lean boat

8:55 am

Ostrich is delicious. Expensive as hell, but delicious.

8:55 am

Judi - ever had ostrich? I hear its very good.

8:55 am

rattle snake is nice

8:55 am

Snap, boatie!

8:55 am

they cut it in chunks,batter it and deep fry it

8:56 am

Emu is similar in flavour to ostrich.

8:56 am

There's an ostrich farm about an hour south of where I live that provides most of the meat that serves the valley. It's very popular :)

8:56 am

I think snake is supposed to taste good. I watch all these wilderness survival shows with my husband. They will anything to survive, even larvae

8:56 am

Hubby would be schkeeved, but I would try rattlesnake. Hell, just about anything tastes good fried.

8:57 am

Time to do some real work. BBL. *POOF*

8:58 am

One would think with all the rattlers here that you could find it on more plates around town, but its just not so.

8:58 am

boat where is tierra del calor?

8:58 am

The only rattlesnake I could find here was canned, so I decided no.

8:59 am

It's my made up name for the valley I live in, in AZ.

8:59 am

It means hot land?

9:00 am

Land of heat, so pretty much :)

9:00 am

we live in tierra del humidity

9:00 am

Ha! On the east coast no doubt :)

9:00 am

funny, bichon...here too

9:01 am

It has been extraordinarily humid here all month

9:01 am

La tierra de la humedad.

9:01 am

When I sit down to Babble, I can't get up, too sticky

9:01 am

9:02 am

La tierra de la niebla/Land of fog

9:03 am

9:03 am

9:03 am

9:04 am

That does sound nice :)

9:04 am

well even january is not so bad anymore,it hardly ever gets below minus 25 anymore

9:04 am

at least you're used to cold weather. Last winter was quite a shock to us here

9:09 am

Balaclava - that's a great word :)

9:09 am

9:09 am

One thing I remember about winter when we were young. If it was cold out, turn up the heat inside. Now, with energy being so dear, we can't do that

9:09 am

You don't hear that often in the states.

9:09 am

We just say ski mask.

9:09 am

of that i am sure

9:10 am

we used to have a wood stove in the litchen,toss a log on and turn the damper open a bit and you had to open the windows lol

9:11 am

If I had kids I say, "Put on your balaclavas so you don't get the collywobbles!"

9:11 am

problem with a wood stove is after doing stuff all day out in that cold,10 min in front of a wood stove and it is lights out

9:12 am

9:12 am

that's like the joke about why men prefer dogs: they like if you leave stuff on the floor; they find it interesting if you've petted another dog; they don't mind if you repeat things in a loud voice. Just try putting your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for 20 minutes and see who is happy to see you when you open it....

10:28 am

..if she has not changed the locks...

10:28 am

of course, she was beside herself with worry, but to go out looking at 3:am not a good idea

boat's clue reminded me of a joke passed on to me yesterday that would be funny if it was not 'sad but true'... A teacher walked into the classroom at the beginning of the term with a very stern expression on his face. The students immediately scrambled into their desks and settled down. "I want to get one thing straight", said the teacher. "In this class there are two words that will not be tolerated. If they are used in essays or exams it will result in an automatic failure for that quarter. One is gross and the other is cool. Are there any questions?

11:55 am

A student at the back of the class raised his hand..."What are they?"

11:56 am

Ok ty

1:00 pm

what a great time to return to the grid! Thanks for all thegreat clies

1:00 pm

R's DONE.

1:00 pm

CLUES!

How did I miss those de's- they're staring right at me!

I like the clies too.

1:02 pm

They were probably winkin' at ya.

I had a neck MRI today. It was the most relaxing time I have spent in weeks- what does that tell you?

1:03 pm

deets

1:04 pm

sorry. off to PB nowq

1:04 pm

I've had one of those. It's amazing how you can completely zone out.

1:04 pm

what's going on Kap?

It reminded me of two things about growing up in NY- one the noise of the planes from LaGuardia constantly drowning out my parent's classical music and also jackhammers in midtown

So I listened to Bach and pretended I was a child in Flushing.

Just some neck and shoulder pain and a bumpy type thingy on my neck

1:06 pm

Excellent choice. That's what I've been listening to for the past hour.

1:06 pm

Why the MRI?

1:06 pm

Ah, hopefully should provide all the answers.

1:07 pm

LOL! When I had one in December, I tried listening to "Holiday music" (which I normally love) burt the music was so gratinf th** I mad them change it

1:07 pm

Hopefully *the MRI* should...I should learn to finish typing my sentences.

it's been an ongoing problem--headaches, maybe I need PT, could be a tear or arthritis or misalignment or lymph node cancer or a brain tumor- no biggie.

Doctors like to rule everything out. Me, I know it's something that needs a chiroprator.

1:08 pm

Gah! No biggie.

1:08 pm

sorry for the typos; I'm tired. Typos may explain why I'm not doing too well in the grid

I am my parents daughter, but I staved off the kvetching for a few years longer.

They had various arthritises quite a bit younger. They of course didn't excer-exersc---go to the gym like I do.

1:09 pm

not sure what kvetching is, but I like your humor

I am also tired and can't type

Kvetching is complaining.

1:10 pm

AAH! Th**'s what I thought was humor!

Yiddish word.

Ask Molly. She knows.

1:11 pm

When I was experiencing neck/shoulder/chest pain combo, I kept going to my chiro hoping that would solve it. But no good (for this particular problem). I finally decided to get X-rays, then a head/neck MRI. Turns out I have a herniated cervical disc. Problem validated. Just have to be carful with things now.

I could add that to my list of possibilities.

KVETCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:12 pm

See, being here helps :)

1:12 pm

LOL :)

We're not getting older- we're getting bitter.

Was that a typo? Only my hairdresser knows for sure!

1:14 pm

Tumor, herniated disc, six of one, half a dozen of the other...

1:14 pm

It does help to have someone who can sympathize (or empathize even)

1:14 pm

You kvetch when you are verklempt

1:14 pm

LOL!!!

Torn rotator cuff? Bone spur? Polio?

Lyme disease, Lemon disease, grapefruit disease?

1:15 pm

How about head not screwed on straight? : )

Rhyme disease, time disease, chime disease, thyme disease? The possibilities are endless.

1:15 pm

I've had partially herniated discs in my neck since my 20 yr old dtr was 2 and she jumped on my back when I was picking stuff up off the floor. Making the muscles stronger saved me from surgeries

Molly, go fly a kite!

How's that for a snappy rejoinder?

1:16 pm

halfway, NBS and NBT

1:16 pm

Oh Nef, I feel your pain!

1:16 pm

what is verklempt?

1:16 pm

I say go see a good acupuncturist.

1:17 pm

Verklempt is distraught

1:17 pm

Verklempt is like being choked up emotionally.

1:17 pm

I've had 3 discs in my neck fused (one at a time, they kept going bad). I know some people have problems with the surgery but for me it was a lifesaver (would have been paralyzed without it).

1:17 pm

acupuncture is wonderffful; I've found lots of pain relief with it

1:18 pm

I would not go to a chiropractor, especially for neck problems - there is a risk of stroke with neck manipulations

1:19 pm

Hey acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Think there might be something to it?

1:19 pm

chiros scare me too! (LONG story, won't elaborate re: confidentiality issue)

1:19 pm

Mike Myers used to do a fabulous skit on SNL imitating is ex-MIL being verklempt. The skit was called Coffee Talk.

1:20 pm

re acupuncture - nope. It's been tested, doesn't work. Of course, they do have you lie down in a quiet room for a while (at least mine did) with soft music playing - this can provide relief in itself

1:21 pm

You are entitled to your opinion Sue. I know several people who have had great results with acupuncture.

Who said acupuncture doesn't work? Is it placebo?

1:22 pm

Pretty much, kap - there have been double-blind studies done using fake vs. real needles, there is no difference

Chiropractic causes stroke- acupuncture doesn't work...what to do?

1:22 pm

What, how, a fake needle?

1:22 pm

and molly, it's not my opinion, it's the result of careful double-blind studies.

1:23 pm

How is that possible? *boatierra confused* Will have to look that up sometime.

i come to bury boggle, not to praise it (hi all)

1:23 pm

the acupuncture needles have an outer sheath so you can't really see the needle going in; they make fake needles that look exactly the same from the outside but the needle inside doesn't actually puncture the skin.

I come to bury seizures, not to praise them.

1:23 pm

Quite clever, actually.

If people go to acupuncture and they find it helps them, do they actually not feel as better as they think they feel?

1:24 pm

But the subject has to *feel* like the needle is going in, so I wonder how the accomplish that with a fake needle. Amazing.

If you tell someone who thinks the needlles are working that they are not working, will the pain come back?

1:25 pm

All I know is that it worked for me. I'd pulled some back muscles and couldn't do the meds; also used it for hip, hand, and back arthritis with good effect. If it's placebo effect; I'm glad it worked

1:25 pm

Science and scientific data does not explain everything. Science says there is nothing to Lourdes either. Tell that to the people who have been cured there.

Is there a control group and out-of-control group?

i thought acupuncture worked because of endorphins (is that the right word?) or naturally-occurring painkillers in the brain

1:26 pm

Placebo is amazing. And I've heard very good things about acupuncture.

The endorphin factor is probably significant. It's why kids with lots of tattoos do it for the endorphin rush

1:27 pm

Oh I never thought about that with tattoos. Wow.

1:27 pm

maybe one and the same then.

I wonder if the drug companies have been giving us placebos for everything for decades and we are all part of a big scam.

1:27 pm

I just want tattoos for the pretty pretty pictures on my body.

Tattoos and piercings- multiples.

i get endorphins from sings and playing the piano, and also from boggling, of course!

> singing

I once was well, but now I'm ill, could see but now I'm blind.

1:28 pm

There is a great little book called "How To Lie With Statistics". Everyone should read it.

I'm kinda big on the theory of evolution. And then there's Bill Nye, the science guy...

1:30 pm

Oh good G-d no, not piercings. When I got my tragus pierced it hurt like a mother f*****! No endorphins there. I thought I was going to pass out.

I'm not very into New Agey stuff. Once a colleague of mine showed me a wholistic health magazine that was trying to promote drinking a glassful of one's own urine daily for the health benefits.

He told me that my revulsion was cultural bias.

1:31 pm

I feel that certain parts of the body shouldn't be pierced

Excuse me, but didn't we just excrete that stuff for a reason?

1:31 pm

LOL, Kap!

1:31 pm

I've seen that urine shite. Urine is a waste product. I don't see how ingesting it (again) could possibly be beneficial. Blech.

body modification goes back to beginning of humanity, probably. but I'm not gon' do it! 8-)

I swear this is true!! On my Enable dictionary!

1:32 pm

"cultural bias* - that's hilarious!!!

I promise I will not pierce my tongue or drink a glassful of urine.

CPR works because when you exhale there's still oxygen in your breath. I'm not advocating drinnking urine, but the same principal applies

I'd like to see someone here advocate drinking urine- come on, lurkers. I know you're out there.

hmmmm

1:34 pm

For over twenty years I've asked people who have gotten their tongue pierced if it hurt and only one person said that it did. I'm not kidding. I think that they are all LYING. How could it not hurt???

1:34 pm

nope, not me. No piercings, tattoos or drinking urine

1:34 pm

LOL, Kaplan your killin' me!!!

I have a lot of young opiate addicts as clients so I know about this stuff. I'm a cool mom.

you say one thing and they hear another, that's how LOL

you ask does it hurt, and they hear, "should i got my tongue pierced too?" and they say NO

Infections on pierced tounges- it has happened.

1:36 pm

The only, ONLY time I would advocate drinking urine is if you are lost in the desert and are dying of thirst and have no other available liquids.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Hm. I would cry and drink the tears.

1:37 pm

Ew to which, infected tongues or urine drinking?

This is going to get very Donner Party soon.

both are too salty! lol

Ewwww to every pleasant subject I have raised for the last half hour.

Or Fear Factor.

1:38 pm

I would drink some else's tear first before urine.

No headgear in this grid.

let's talk about doctor who

Ask yourselves- how far would YOU go?

1:38 pm

No! No spoilers. I can't watch it 'cause I have no cable. Sorry.

I have been having wicked insomnia so I'm not too well wrapped today.

1:39 pm

We could talk about happiness. Seriously, puppies? How great are they?

we could talk about old doctor who then 8-)

1:40 pm

I do need clues for most of the TE's.

I get this weird persona when I am on chats like this. Puppies- oh God, that reminds me of my dream last night, and it was also gross...

Oh, there's a GRID here?

doctor who and puppies, good, good

Flowers and babies.

1:41 pm

Oh! Finished the TA's.

I am really a very meek and witless person.

1:41 pm

Rainbows and muffins :)

there's kind of a phenomenon on the chog to get into random weird associations and non sequitors and fall into the PB by mistake.

We almost did it with the tattoos- but didn't.

brown paper packages tied up with strings

1:43 pm

That's what I love about it :)

The curtains, Maria!

Use the curtains!

1:43 pm

Cream colored ponies...

Over on the windows!

Look! Look!

1:44 pm

Yes, those are the ones!

high on a hill was a lonely time lord . . .

Oh no---the captain!!!!

1:45 pm

Were my children up in trees?

Lazy oh so lazy oh so lazy- who?

1:45 pm

Are their clothing made of drapery?

Did the Austrians hate the Nazis?

1:47 pm

The Baroness - she was a keeper!

Is the captain really a kind man at heart?

does the pope shit in the woods? (runs and hides)

Boo! Hiss! The Baroness!

When did the chickens rride the crosses?

1:48 pm

"Ah, darling, that's what boarding school is for."

I am sooooooooooo tired!

1:49 pm

When or why?

1:49 pm

I have 9, NINE words left.

I think the scene in the Cathedral when all the nuns get up and sing How do you solve a problem like Maria with the organ music is the BEST

1:50 pm

GO, go boatierra

1:50 pm

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

I have 50. I'm not working too hard.

At the wedding. It's so funny.

1:50 pm

I don't know about the Austrians, but Georg Von Trapp surely did. (Hate the Nazis)

Flibbertygibbet.

Will o' the wisp.

A clown.

1:51 pm

At the wedding when all the nuns are basically standing behind a cage.

1:51 pm

I like the scene where the nuns steal the Nazis distributor caps.

"I found them!"

1:52 pm

That's a good one :)

Boat, go and finish your grid.

1:52 pm

Best line of the movie is the Baroness to Maria: I don't think you would have made a very good nun. : )

1:53 pm

Rolfe - poor, stupid, gullible Rolfe.

1:53 pm

I'm trying but I can't find the TE words.

1:53 pm

Agreed MolllyL

And I don't think you would have made a very good baroness, so nyea nyea to

1:54 pm

Again agreed.

you.

1:54 pm

Word, right in front of me.

a captain with seven children- what's so fearsome about that?

1:56 pm

Not when they respond to whistling.

oooh i found the 10! yippee

1:57 pm

Woot book!

1:57 pm

Oh, I must stop these doubts, All these worries. If I don't I just know I'll turn back!

plummer da man

2:01 pm

i once took a series of tests to determine what i should be when i grew up and the only advice i remember was that i would not a make a good teaching nun

2:01 pm

since i was a methodist i was a little baffled

i would not make a nun either. don' wanna get married to anyone let alone a deity

2:02 pm

Wow , thks

2:03 pm

sorry i missed the acupuncture conversation. there is no actual way to do fake acupuncture since any touch at the appropriate point is legit.

2:04 pm

a local youngish 27 year old reporter had a interview with plummer and she said he just ozzed charm and wit a poise and that she was reduced to just nodding her head in all the right places as he made young and old alike ignore their meals and listen to him speak

ack, i meant to say, i would not make a *good* nun either OY

2:04 pm

i bet

2:05 pm

There is a great line that was omitted from The Divine Secrets Of The Ya Ya Sisterhood. When Genvieve goes to rescue teenage Vivie from a nunnery (where Vivie is being allowed to starve herself) Genvieve says to the Mother Superior, "When the Dear Lord find out he's married to you, he gonna ask for a dee-vorccccce."

no need ton convince me o' that, crossy!

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

hi all

After telling me several times I had no refills on my sleep meds, making me call my doctor asking for more several times, they "discovered" that I had 80 remaining pills that they overlooked by mistake

2:14 pm

scrips*

2:14 pm

howdy hoots

I've been worried how I used them all up and whether my doc would think I'm abusing my ambien...

2:15 pm

hi again. Please send some restful thoughts to AUnty please. Her congestive heart failure (CHF) is worsening and she's been in and out of pulmonary edema over the past 24 hours and I'm now giving her morphine to help her breathe

2:15 pm

at leat it was not a case of them not finding more and your doctor being on a month long sabbatical in south america

I haven't been obsessing my brains out when I go to sleep ...

2:15 pm

(((auntie)))

It was real close to that crossy, they told me I had no more in the spring and then again in August...

I have been obsessing, I mean. It's awful. That's why I use ambien.

2:17 pm

if i run out of sleep meds i switch to high tension booze:)

And I had to find my doc on labor day weekend and ask for refills...

2:17 pm

tbh,i sleep 3 hours a night with a 1.5 hr cat nap in the day..a full 7 or 8 hours is unknown to me last 5 years or so

2:17 pm

hi everyone can i have clue for the 10 please#

2:18 pm

Kap, sorry you're going thru that

I work with chemically dependent people so I know all the stuff that goes on- and was worried that I was becoming one

I wanna sleep and I know I will be fine tonight thank goodness.

But I made my husband call his doctor to get 4 ambiens last weekend so I could get thru the weekend visiting my daughter.

2:19 pm

re 10/84

2:19 pm

2:19 pm

3:07 pm

Hi Kenny, sorry I don't have it, but I will help look

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

oh Nef, that is always a task

3:07 pm

thanks Wolvie and hello

3:08 pm

hi - (lurking) lol

3:08 pm

thanks Wolvie. Been looking for that last bootom O word

Tx Wolvie. I wasn't at the lower oa.

3:09 pm

:-)

Sorry, I wasn't looking at the lower oa.

3:10 pm

that is the only oa 5/12 i have, i am still missing one o word from the top o tho

3:11 pm

now i am not, lol - saw it just as soon as i typed that.

3:13 pm

Oh, Nef, I'm so sorry about your aunt. I've been sending for you and her. I've asked for strength for you as well.....you must be very tired..

3:14 pm

today I'm very tired. Thnaks for your support, GA

3:15 pm

best to you Nef, I understand that particular battle - just went thru a year or so of it with my Mom.

3:16 pm

hello gapeach

3:16 pm

Hey there, Mom. Hope all is going well with you.

3:17 pm

I think I am going to go rest for a bit. ((Hugs))to all of you

3:21 pm

i am off for a bit too - good luck all!

3:22 pm

thanks, Wolvie. It's tough to do; but it's also an honor th** few of us get to do these days, Someone else is allowed to care for our loved ones these days

3:30 pm

That is a very tender way of thinking about it New. You are a gem.

3:32 pm

brb

3:38 pm

Molly, I do think it's a privilege (which I can't spell today) Through my years in nursing I've learned this

3:39 pm

It's being a part of the circle Nef. Caring for those who once cared for us.

3:40 pm

Great way to put it, Molly

3:41 pm

While it was difficult to be with both of my parents when they passed, I felt like they saw me in and I saw them out. Not an easy thing, but I'm glad I was there.

3:43 pm

it isn't easy to do, Molly. But it's a time when you can tell your loved one how much you care and that it's okay for them to go

3:49 pm

(((((free hugs)))))

3:49 pm

hi stid How are you?

3:50 pm

I am now a PROFESSIONAL (paid) teacher... or will be when paychecks come out next month! LOL

3:50 pm

I survived teaching.... P.E. My "weakest subject" in fact! SO glad it was only a half day, but had the BEST time ever! :-D

3:51 pm

YAY, stid! WTG!!! (((stid the teacher!!)))

3:51 pm

so the first thing I did was, unlock the gym door. and set off the intruder alarm... LOL

3:52 pm

LOL!! Great start! :-D

3:52 pm

met the very nice and patient custodian who also showed me how to turn on the lights... *sigh* I am a "noob" as my younger son puts it.

3:54 pm

I am pleased to see you (and Mom and Molly and Peach and Wolvie? and...) here today. It is sunny at the moment. I am eating cereal with my feet up and a heating pad on my hip (which didn't bother me until I got home and sat down). I am so psyched. Now I can't wait for the next assignment!

3:54 pm

well, your son can just eat dirt for calling his mother an nnob

3:55 pm

no no, it fits perfectly today! :-D in fact, that is how I managed to get to sleep. I reminded myself that I am still very much a beginner and it would be okay if I didn't know everything about the new school. LOL (but it would be amusing to see him eat dirt...)

3:58 pm

wow. NBT already.

3:58 pm

stidmama! how did the first day go?

3:58 pm

I'm surprised no one showed you where the lights and doors were though

3:58 pm

I hope you are getting some "downtime" Nef -- other than babble...

3:58 pm

I was just filling the chog with it cross! LOL

3:59 pm

oh, it's okay, I just called the office and it was easy. I liked that school. Very laid back.

3:59 pm

reading back...

3:59 pm

just lurking as it's very late

3:59 pm

I'm really glad it went well for your first time, stid

I still don't understand how Expert causes only two letters typed in the word box to show up in chat.

5:24 pm

it's got a hair trigger, I think. I get the box when I don't want it sometimes, but have been able to stop before it posts.

5:25 pm

Makes sense Champ. *Mental note: Xanex for Expert*

5:29 pm

I try not to use it till I'm completely stuck anyway.

5:29 pm

Evening all. Clue for the last ar5/12, please?

5:30 pm

Got it. Thanks anyway.

still here, still exhausted, pissed off at CVS pharmacy and just waiting around till bedtime.

Has the word CATHEXIS ever turned up in a grid?

What about polymorph? Why does yetta turn up frequently, but I have never seen turnip?

There was a word for crabgrass that I used in the chog by mistake once- it was in the grid- and I no longer know what that word was.

5:40 pm

I avoid CVS at all costs. Their pharmacists are dimwits.

They shorted me 80 pills on a rx and made me beg my doc for refills

They suck

5:55 pm

so i'm commuting home on the NYC subway

5:55 pm

that sounds pretty darn sucky!

5:55 pm

and we have a visitation by a *musician*

5:55 pm

That was to Kap....

5:55 pm

I only shop at CVS for seasonal stuff and sometimes cosmetics, if they are on sale. I like the fact that it still smells like a drug store. But their pharmacy does suck.

5:56 pm

he has a "discussion" with another patron over on the other side of the car about how to be friendly

5:56 pm

he gives us a longer than usual song and then precedes to talk to EVERYONE on the subway car to get a response

5:56 pm

The New York subway looks scary to me Shirl.

5:57 pm

can i have a clue for the first de6 please

5:57 pm

i'm trying to READ and he gives me a lecture about how being literate is great but I should appreciate it when God gives me the opportunity to enjoy and be friendly and i shouldn 't have attitude

5:57 pm

i had to leave the car i was so pissed

5:59 pm

The first de6 is the beginning of the word that describes what Dick Tracy is. Cos, did you watch Terra Nova?

6:00 pm

yes terra nova was amazing

6:00 pm

thanks for the de6

6:01 pm

I was afraid it was going to be a LOST poser, but I liked it a lot.

6:01 pm

if you watched it -- there was a clue in the final scene if you didnt catch it

6:02 pm

I'm watching it again now, I'll look for the clue.

6:02 pm

finally time to go home...unfortunately it is raining again :-P

6:02 pm

if you still dont find it let me know :) that scene is linked to a scene earlier.

6:04 pm

did I mention that I am walking home?

6:05 pm

yikes.. be safe sue

6:05 pm

oh well - at least it isn't snow!!

6:09 pm

Okay Cos. I usually pick up what I missed on the second go round.

6:11 pm

i call it "land of the lost" meets "lost"

6:12 pm

Good description. I think it will help alleviate my LOST withdrawal. : )

6:13 pm

so far this season i've gotten into three new shows.. terra nova, the secret circle and two broke girls.. im looking forward to Grimm and Once Upon a Time --- both in October

6:13 pm

once upon a time is from the writers and creators of Lost.

6:14 pm

I liked "Person Of Interest".

7:00 pm

hi again, all! Wasn't raining too hard after all for my walk home.

Hi crossy, Sue, et al. Got an apartment today!

7:14 pm

7:14 pm

howdy neil

7:14 pm

i

i? Yeah, guess I'm only one "i" [eye] right now.

7:16 pm

not really neil,just that as of this moment i cannot type

7:17 pm

ahhh... just home from a yummy sushi dinner-date with the hubs. was supposed to go with a friend, but she stood me up, so hubby came with me instead. :)

7:18 pm

good hubby..

7:21 pm

yeah. BAD friend. ::grumbles::

7:21 pm

hubby doesnt eat sushi, but he had a beer while he sat with me. :)

7:22 pm

*** finito ***

7:22 pm

even better hubby,he deserves a cookie

I've had that problem since last night, crossy. That's due to being overtired though.

7:22 pm

yaa for tech!!

7:23 pm

Nice of your husband Eva. As for the friend, needs a kick in the tush.

7:23 pm

mine is due to oversize finger neil'

7:23 pm

i baked Oatmeal banana Muffins. i think that suffices. ;)

7:24 pm

as for friend, she is notoriously late. we were supposed to meet at "6-ish." at like 5:55, i texted to see if we were still running on time -- she said she was still at work on a conference call!!

Haha, crossy. I drove down to LA yesterday morning, so I got up too early to do that... then didn't even get a nap all day because I was busy apartment hunting. Can't believe the hunt's over already, wow. Now I have to go home and pack and arrange everything... ugh. What fun!

7:25 pm

why would you make dinner plans if you knew you had a conference call?? and then i still waited for a while for her call to end. finally, an HOUR later, i told her to bugger off, since i needed to eat.

7:26 pm

lol,eva you would love it,but my mrs hates it as i am half an hour early for everything

That is a little strange. And very poor planning... unless she somehow forgot about the call when she made the dinner plans? Weird.

7:27 pm

Very inconsiderate Eva. Sounds like someone very self involved.

[sorry for butting in]

7:27 pm

if i am latre 5 minutes for a movie,i will not watch it

And don't blame you. I'd have done the same.

7:28 pm

to 6,18 any clues?

A Spanish bullfighter, majmom.

7:29 pm

@Maj Bullfighting

7:29 pm

hubby + i actually joke about her running on "cheehy-time" (thats her last name). i honestly didnt expect her to be ready at 6, but seriously, when youre making plans, be realistic! id gladly settle for a half hour early over late/no-show anyday, crossy!

to + hooked consonant + vowel + hooked consonant + vowel.

7:31 pm

ty got it

yw

7:33 pm

eva,if my mrs is ready within 30 minutes of the estimate4d departure time,i am content

7:34 pm

Hint for TH5,12?.. I don't see it, and I've tried everything, I do believe.. but there must be one word amongst them!

7:34 pm

on that note, kids, its time for THISGAL to hit the hay.

7:34 pm

actually she drive me nuts..she badgers me that we have to go somewhere,then takes 2 hours to be ready to go there

7:35 pm

i say,"JUST CALL ME WHEN YOU ARE 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM BEING READY"

th 5/12 8th letter of the greek alphabet

8:16 pm

Go Nef! I'm trying to decide if I want to start...

8:18 pm

for the most part, it's been real words in this grid (for me so far, anyway). If you can just sit down without interruptions, you should finish, Jellen

8:18 pm

Aye, there's the rub...I have many other things I should be doing...

8:19 pm

just do one jellen.. the rest will follow

8:19 pm

<--- babble pusher

I spent a week in Avalon, on Catalina Island, it was a wonderful vacation =)

9:17 pm

26 miles across the sea...

9:18 pm

dunno why you thought you had to tell me that, west? I only grew up there. ;)

9:19 pm

it's compound..what's old is new again and what was done on a stage

9:20 pm

well neil we called it that way before you were born..didn't know if the name was still used

9:20 pm

West was only showing off, neil. :-)

Haha, Jellen.

9:22 pm

meliae, a canine fast ambulation, and plural

9:22 pm

hi again. I just get started on Babble and then get interrupted again.

9:22 pm

stid, the sub!

9:22 pm

Tell me about your new apartment, neil...

9:22 pm

hi stid..wondered what a canine fast was..never say a d** who didn't eat everything in sight

9:23 pm

hi nef

9:23 pm

thanks Doren.

9:23 pm

Hi, stid

9:23 pm

bowser's moves on a diarrhea day

Yes, westford. A little more and hardwood floors.. which I love. And a breakfast nook for Dеlіlаh to reside in. She's the Υаmаhа СР-5 you see in my Flickr album, haha.

9:23 pm

(((BR)))

9:24 pm

hi west, Dorens, stid, jmc, neil, BR and everyone else I missed

9:24 pm

hi BR

9:24 pm

did i ever tell you that when I graduated with my teaching degree (in 1971) there was declining enrollment, and philly had a moratorium on new hires for a while, so subbing was my avocation?

9:24 pm

I like that name

9:24 pm

good one babrab

9:24 pm

I loved it, Doren -- really loved it today. Then came home and slept almost as long as the half-day assignment! LOL

9:24 pm

hello bab

9:25 pm

easing into it, so to speak

9:25 pm

hope your phone doesn't stop ringing stid

9:26 pm

:-D yes, that is how I am going about it. And loving that I have tonight "off" and probably tomorrow as well, though as it gets toward the middle of the year, I shall want more time than once a week!

9:26 pm

thanks west

9:26 pm

I'm hoping you get to sub for a week for someone before you have to sub for someone on maternity leave

9:26 pm

LOL let's hope, Nef!

thanks westford. It just kinda suited her.

9:27 pm

nbt

9:27 pm

go jmc go!

9:28 pm

that was quick

9:28 pm

how's the at home situation going nef?

9:28 pm

oh! jmc! we are more alike than we knew... remember how I got the house re-roofed because of the leaks in the kitchen???

9:28 pm

and i am going -- too much homework see you all tomorrow

9:28 pm

so the kitchen didn't leak with all the rain this last weekend.

9:29 pm

BUT... where the furnace pipe goes through the roof... it did. So when I went to check on the furnace it was dripping wet.

9:29 pm

bye jmc...

TC jmc.

9:29 pm

so... roofer came to look and the roof itself looks okay, he thinks there is a problem with the flue for the chimney. So now we wait for the furnace guy to come out next week. *sigh*

9:29 pm

gaah stid it's always something

9:29 pm

it's rough right now, Dorens. Aunty isn't having a good day again; she's needing a lot of nursing care again today

9:30 pm

anyway... (((Nef))) that's too bad.

9:30 pm

so you retired, but you're still working? hope tomorrow is better

9:30 pm

stid, that sounds miserable too!

9:31 pm

the joys of home ownership stid... the longer you own the house the more things you find out can go wrong

9:31 pm

working at home; it's been over 24 hours straight now (and for free)

9:33 pm

hope you have someone spell you sometimes and take care of yourself. is hospice involved?

9:33 pm

well, the good news is I was just checking on things BEFORE I fired it up. So I was able to turn off the circuit to the furnace and put some towels up to catch drips for now.

9:33 pm

LOL Doren, too true!

9:34 pm

have owned one home or another since 1978... think i've replaced at least one of everything

9:34 pm

brb phone

9:34 pm

hospice is involved, Dorens. The nurse is coming out tomorrow

9:35 pm

good.. then nef, you go out and do something fun, yes?

9:35 pm

sleep? ;-)

9:36 pm

oh yeah, i forgot about that.

9:36 pm

actually, I'm thinking and doing better now than earlier. Must have caought my 2nd wind

9:38 pm

still, be sure you rest and have some fun... oh well, maybe babble will be your fun for a while

9:43 pm

I do hope you are taking care of yourself, Nef!

9:45 pm

Guess what? DTR> just came in with a sprained ankle! Good grief!!!

9:45 pm

Babble IS my fun, Dorens

9:45 pm

oh my! when it rains....

9:46 pm

(it just means she won't be able to spell me tonight with Aunty)

9:46 pm

terga

9:47 pm

she was going to be up with her from 10 til midnight and again from 6 to 7 AM...

9:47 pm

and now she can/t?????

9:48 pm

well, she won't be able to help Aunty to the BR

9:48 pm

oh sh@#%!

9:48 pm

Ditto!

9:50 pm

I AM impressed with the swelling, though. :-) She'd stopped at an urgent care and was seen and they wrapped it; so *I* don't have to do that

9:50 pm

rofl doren...

9:50 pm

back from the phone. it is m-i-l's bday today.

9:51 pm

oh man... ice, elevation, anti-inflammatories... glass of wine, choclits...

9:52 pm

she's allergic to the anti-inflammatories too, stid. (as am I) no NSAIDS in this house!

9:52 pm

bummer. NOTHING?

9:53 pm

tylenol is it.

9:53 pm

well, at least you have that.

9:53 pm

any hints on the de9,66's? thanks for the re10 by the way

9:53 pm

I am down to just Aleve that works, all the others make such a big ringing in my ears that I can't function.

9:54 pm

(which isn't an anti-inflamatory drug). She can take Tyl #3's and has a few from the urgent care

9:54 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

9:54 pm

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

9:54 pm

I can't tolerate codeine. Drives me up a WALL. Or several walls. Or up trees if I am outside. LOL

9:54 pm

Hi, Min

9:54 pm

Hey Min! Welcome to the grid!

de9,66's -- instruments/devices that de6,24.

9:55 pm

I don't have the de 9, sorry

9:55 pm

de 9s are part of the de 6,8,9,8,9,7 group, polyn

Hi Min!

9:55 pm

Stidmama, how was your first day of teaching today?

9:55 pm

hm. there's the phone again... have to head. Nef, hope Aunty will sleep comfortably tonight so you can rest a bit, too.

9:56 pm

Bye stid

9:56 pm

Min, it was LOVELY. I was so happy to be there, the few glitches weren't entirely unexpected and I handled them fine, and had a chance to talk things over with the regular teacher at the end so I feel I did a good job. Then I came home and slept for three hours. LOL

9:56 pm

she's going to sleep in her new LazyBoy-type chair, stid. Best position for heart failure when it's bad

9:57 pm

anyway... (((Min))) thanks for asking. I hope your week is going well. I will be back tomorrow! *poof*

9:57 pm

nite stid

9:58 pm

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

10:02 pm

please could I have clues for the first tr 4 and 2nd tr5? I'm lost

tr4,4 -- stepped

tr5,10 -- plural of tr4,4 just before that

And if you don't have that, tr + alien, plural?

10:06 pm

thanks, neil. that isn't the 1st tr4; but I got it anyway

Or aliens?

Oh sorry! Yeah, I'm not seeing things too well I'm so tired.

10:07 pm

it was the alien one. Thanks! :-)

Not much sleep past 2 nights... long drive down here yesterday and apartment hunting.

yw Nef. just sorry I didn't see the right word at first! Haha. duh.

10:09 pm

it's ok, neil. I'm sleep-deprived too

No fun is it?

10:12 pm

I can't do without much sleep more than a night or two at a time...

10:12 pm

my brain turns to mush

10:13 pm

My body rebels and refuses to wake up in the morning...

10:14 pm

Mine too!

10:15 pm

I've found AUnty gets very irritable and has a really bad startle reflex when she's tired. It just about scares the **** out of me! When I'm tired I don't need that!

10:20 pm

I gave up on the grid at 5:39,just came here to say hi

10:20 pm

Now I must hit the sheets,so goodnight to all babblers

10:21 pm

G'night Min

10:21 pm

niters, Min

10:22 pm

I'm going to head out too. Hope you and Aunty have a quiet night, Nef!

10:23 pm

thanks, Jellen. Good night

10:28 pm

I'm quitting too. Aunty is sleeping; time for me to catch some z's too if possible/ Niters everyone

Good night herin.

11:23 pm

Glad to know that I just shared the pain. That is going to drive me nutso

Laters NEil

11:24 pm

do7/40 = do* (not a cat) + a horse's gait.

11:24 pm

do8 is the verb form.

11:25 pm

A horse can walk, canter and gallop,m but it can also tr4.

11:25 pm

THANK YOU!

11:26 pm

polyn - if you were thaking me, y/w.

11:26 pm

I'm off back to bed now.

11:27 pm

Neil - can you help me? please?

11:27 pm

what do you need, flosey?

11:28 pm

I've pushed "Lickety Add" down below the line, cannot retrieve it

11:30 pm

can just see almost 1/4 of an inch of it

11:30 pm

I would try to close everything to one side and then grab it with your mouse

Ok westford... sent.

sorry... check email I mean.

Help you with what flosey?

11:31 pm

I have tried that joey, mouse cannot reach it - also closed the computer down and reopened - still stuck down below

sorry, I was busy elsewhere for a few.

11:31 pm

I know that's what you meant..will look in a minute..racing now

11:31 pm

can you right click on the top bar?

11:31 pm

thanks neil, please read back 11:28

Saw it but don't know what you're talking about? The Lickety list page?

11:32 pm

I can click on the "Hide, Add button but when it comes up that's when I can see a bare 1/4"

11:33 pm

neil, across the top, between refresh babble and lickety chat

I don't use that page very often... didn't know you could move anything on it?

I think I've loaded it twice when I was stuck?

11:34 pm

I like the lickety add box, saves going back and forth from chat to add word

ok I just opened it to look. What is it you're having trouble with?

Don't know what you mean flosey sorry? I don't see anything like that on the list page?

11:35 pm

not referring to lickety's clues neil, it's the little box between Refresh Babble and Lickety Chat, at the top of the babble screen

I don't see anything like that on this page?

11:35 pm

flosey I don't think that everyone sees the same thing. I know that I don't see anything like what you are describing

I can refresh this website... my browser refresh, yes. But the only little box I have is this thing I'm typing in here and the one under the grid to enter words... so I'm a little lost?

11:36 pm

Neil, my screen is just like yours

11:36 pm

oh ok Neil, I use Babble Expert from licketySplitAus:BetaV12

11:37 pm

at the top there are boxes:

Yeah. Of course... that's how the website is. Oh then no wonder, flosey. I posted a link to it in my bio just to be helpful... but I've never even installed it myself. I find using the regular site works well enough for me so far.

I've never even seen that program yet flosey.

11:37 pm

Refresh Clues, Send Words To Babble, Send Words to Clues, Refresh Babble, Hid 'Add' , Thin, Lickety Chat, Resources and Options

Oh no clue. Never even seen Babbleexpert, sorry.

11:38 pm

ah, ok Neil, sorry to be such a silly bother

Huh? did I say you were?

11:39 pm

no, I don't believe you would, that was me talking

but I'd suggest shutting it right down completely then reloading it? Maybe that change isn't something permanent and if you do that it will be like it was before you did that?

11:39 pm

I am sorry I wasn't able to help you. I tried

Worth a try anywya.

Anyway even. Geez!

11:39 pm

I did close the computer completely and reopened, same !

Haha, I notice typos the second I make them... but don't always realize until I've already hit Enter.

I type faster than I think sometimes.

11:40 pm

but thanks for your time - now must let others get their requests for clues in before flip

ok, then here's what to do: uninstall the program then reinstall it. It will be all at default settings if it's a new installation.

11:41 pm

and thanks also, joey

11:41 pm

ok, will do that, thanks Neil, bfn

11:42 pm

you are welcome. I thought that I did something wrong that you were ignoring me

Just uninstall and reinstall the whole shebang. That should fix it!

why would anyone ignore you joey?

11:43 pm

no, sorry joey, would never do that

11:43 pm

I don't know it was just a stray thought

11:43 pm

now off to un and re and thanks everyone

And especially for no reason? Haha, that being said there is someone here who has decided to ignore me for no reason, but sometimes you've just gotta shrug, shake your head and realize reason isn't everyone's gift, huh? but I don't think flosey would ever do that... seems too nice.

11:44 pm

who is that negativeneil

Not saying, sorry.

And "Neil" is fine btw.

11:44 pm

np

You have mail joey.

11:51 pm

I will check, thanks

11:57 pm
