I haven't either. I do that rarely... when I'm really desperately stuck. And it's usually with 1 word left that I just can't see. And wouldn't you know, that usually turns out to be a stupid, simple word I couldn't see for looking?! Ugh.

so sorry to hear, granny ... none of that can be easy... congrats on your 9.5 weeks!

1:17 am

dang it dart.. can't you skip just one night.. have a life or something?

Hi dart! You beat me... because I started late and I've been busy in a chat with Laura and answering tweets and DMs and tweeting a couple of updates, ugh. Oh ru... check profile.

1:17 am

ta dee. had to come off it because it would have clashed with the med i'm taking to stop smoking.

1:17 am

hey neil..that is the only way I'll beat you I think

so very proud of you

1:18 am

just another 6.5 days to go. *sigh*

Doubt it, dart.

amazing granny

1:19 am

what did you want me to see neil?

It's not a race anyway. Except you and ru maybe? Haha.

Oh, latest updates there.

1:19 am

yeah granny .. stay away from those things

1:19 am

dart and I are definitely in a race

I see.

1:20 am

he's just a lot smarter than me though

He's probably a lot smarter than all of us.

If he's smarter than you... because you're VERY smart [assed]. ;)

1:20 am

fully intend to, ruru, not going to be sucked in ever again....and i expect you lot to hold me to it, no matter how harsh it may seem

1:20 am

mebbee.. there are some pretty smart people around here neil

1:21 am

I will hold you to it granny... my dad smoked incessantly

Yeah, probably are.

1:21 am

4-5 packs a day

1:22 am

he also drank pitchers of manhattans..

1:22 am

I feel like I grew up in a bar or something

1:22 am

oh dear, ruru, i wasn't smoking that muany, but they say every cigarette is doing you harm....there just is no such thing as " it won't hurt me" when it comes to cigarettes

1:23 am

amen granny very true

1:24 am

I was a cahin smoker, granny -- gave up in 1989.

1:25 am

I never really liked the act of smoking things

1:26 am

Now I wish they would pt a picture on each cigarette pack, showing someone with a cig it his/her mouth and a flag hanging from it saying "stupid".

1:26 am

jilli means chain smoker

1:26 am

if you ever go to see that body worlds (or whatever they call it) where they have real human bodies that were donated to science....and look at the lungs of the smokers...you would never want to smoke again

1:26 am

typo time again, sigh.

1:27 am

dart, in my first year at McGill (1943) we were shown those black lungs but as you know, teenagers are immortal so we paid no attention.

1:27 am

I was going to donate my brain to science... so they could understand punning and sarcastic humor

sparklies

1:28 am

woohoo neil!

:P

Uh, I smoke.

*cough* *cough*

1:28 am

WTG NEIL!!!!

1:29 am

<< my favorite bumper sticker.. " hire a teenager today...while they still know everything! "

1:29 am

well, stop, neil -- it's dumb.

WTG for smoking?

1:29 am

and i not gonna lecture you, either...

I know that, jilli. It's also very addictive.

1:29 am

*takes neil's ashtrays away*

Oh a lot of things work for ashtrays.

1:29 am

ewwwwwwwwww

1:29 am

nah, neil, i thought you ahd completed the grid

Well like cups, you know.

I did, grannyrose.

But it looked funny when you said it... you know? Timing!

1:30 am

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

1:30 am

just don't throw 'em out the window when you're driving

1:30 am

Well, I sure know that, neil -- I started at 14 and finally quit at 62

I don't smoke while I'm driving.

1:30 am

started what jilli?

That's not a safe habit. Besides driving takes two hands, in my car. Steering wheel and gearshift.

1:31 am

started smoking ruru

1:31 am

oh

1:31 am

whew.. glad you quit too

1:31 am

what an awful habit

1:32 am

yes, quite disgusting now that I've quit, lol!

1:33 am

I have some informal photos showing the filthy stinking ashtrays we had, overflowing with such detritus -- ugh.

1:33 am

<---thinks punnic should be a word

1:33 am

I used to get beat for my Dad filling up ashtrays and leaving them in the living room

1:33 am

It should be a banned word, lol!

1:34 am

lol

1:34 am

why should YOU get beaten for that, ruru?

1:34 am

we were supposed to not mess up the house

Yeah, it is dirty and disgusting... and I wish I'd never started, like all smokers do.

1:35 am

but it was you dad who messud up, not you.

1:35 am

you can do the patch and stop neil.. there is help out there.. stop smoking.com

Yeah, that doesn't make sense, ruru?

1:35 am

it didn't matter jilli the mess would set her off

I know, I know. And medications that work better than a patch, apparently.

How did you quit, jilli?

1:36 am

please quit, neil. My d-i-l's beloved brother is dying of lung cancer and I've lost friends to it too.

Oh. :(

1:36 am

neil, one day you will receive your wake-up call, i had mine last february, after nearly 40 years of smoking, and it will only be then that you, and only you, will make the decision to quit

1:37 am

if you stop now you have a better chance of living a full life neil

Oh I hope and plan to quit long before then.

Yeah, I don't plan to be smoking in my 30s.

How did you quit jilli... and you, grannyrose?

1:38 am

time flies faster than you think

1:38 am

yeah well... I didn't plan to be doing word games in my 50's so there..lol

1:38 am

I used nicorette gum and fake cigarettes called Paipo (no longer available) which were nicotine-free and had a menthol flavour, dragged like a cigarette so satisfied the oral habit.

1:38 am

I'm 33 and I've never smoked ever

1:38 am

I have tried 'champix' twice...first time I lasted 6 months, then had drastic family issues...2nd time the 'champix' made me very sick....at least I have cut down to around ten a day.

Yeah RIGHT ruru. Tell us another one?

I've wondered about trying that drug, dizgrannie.

1:39 am

I only do this because of dart now..lol

1:39 am

ruru almost quit babble

It's called Chantrix here... or something like that.

1:39 am

pants on fire, ruru

Oh sure, ruru. So full of it.

Yep, jilli.

Hotpants!

1:39 am

neil, you can only try it, know of heaps of people for whom its worked.

He almost quit Babble, dart? NO WAY?!

With no bad side effects, dizgrannie?

1:40 am

new year's resolution.....told everyone for weeks and said a lot of goodbyes

1:40 am

yes I did.. didn't last long.. and that's how dart got ahead of me..lol

1:41 am

neil, am currently on my 12th week of champix, the nausea is pretty bad, but as my hubby said, the nausea following chemo is worse.

1:41 am

don't quit Babble, ruru -- we'd miss you in spite of the puns

1:41 am

alway been ahead ruru...started 5 days before you did lol

Uh, yeah. Is it taking away the craving for nicotine though?

1:42 am

well.. we'll see about that buddy..lol

1:42 am

neil those fake cigs and nicorettes worked very well for me -- no sie effects

Now play nice, kiddies.

1:42 am

still about 27 puzzles ahead of you on the left list

1:43 am

*side

How long ago did you quit, jilli?

1:43 am

sure does, neil, and increases your will power to stop. BUT you have to want to quit for it to work.

1:43 am

that's gonna be hard to catch.. actually

1:43 am

1989, neil

What's gonna be hard to catch, ru?

Oh, ok... nm, I see.

1:44 am

dart's catagories in the rankings

That's a long time, jilli.

1:44 am

or categories

22 years.

1:44 am

yes those too.lol

I don't smoke normally though. Ask Laura. :P

Maybe I should just show you all.

Hang on there.

1:45 am

all i can say, neil, is if you really want to quit then give it a shot....as the ads say over here, never give up on giving up

1:46 am

damn I'm stuck

1:46 am

everybody quits at least once

1:46 am

pa

1:46 am

<---likes the act of breathing

1:47 am

no breath...no puns

1:47 am

*giggle* that's what we recovery room nurses say, breathing is a good option in the recovery room patient

Ok, Laura says this is a cool party trick: http://tinyurl.com/3kjzpt5

1:48 am

and one of our anaesthetists said....oh, well, breathing is over-rated

[I'm on the right of photo, in brown plaid bermudas]

ok, back for a little bit... the ice cream truck just came around and I am getting a coffee, thanks to my friend who is here!

1:49 am

is that laura?

1:49 am

clue for pe8 please?

Hi again, mrp... and welcome back. :)

Huh?

hi rose ((hugs))... how you doing?? getting anywhere with those morons??

Uh, no. That is NOT Laura.

ni neil **hugs**

**dart** !

1:49 am

neil, I did it because my son and his wife (and my husband) had quit and we were flying west from Montreal to Vancouver to visit them. Air Canada had banned smoking on the planes and that meant 5 whole hours without a cigarette (horrors!). So lots of reasons to quit. But when we got to their place we found that they had taken up smoking again! Gaaah! Stuck to it anyway.

1:49 am

hi mrp!!

***jilli*** how are you?

You know who the goofball sitting on the chaise behind me is, right, ruru?

Well that woman there is one of his dancers... and the choreographer.

Wow. Good for you jilli.

you have a goofball on your chaise?? I want a goofball on my chaise too!! ((jealous))

Haha, said with much fraternal love... really. :P

1:51 am

mrp, will not commit themselves to writing, so am going to equal opps board with just what they have said

hang on, my goofball is holed up getting goofball help for goofing up and dropping the ball :)

Haha, mrp!

1:52 am

Oh dear SA lost to Australia - talk about goofballs

1:52 am

A bit lost in this goofball conversation...

good girl rose! you tell them to FO and the board will be able to see the history to prove what is happening

Geez. What have I started here?

Aust won the rugby ursh??

1:53 am

yes MrP - some good new for you

1:53 am

yay australia, no hurt intended urshi, but rugby is still relatively new to us aussies

Well he was acting like one that day. Uh, come to think of it when isn't he acting that way?

[I'm the sane one. Really.]

1:53 am

*coughs*

ruru: :P

hahaha ruuster!!

1:54 am

;)

actually, that made me *snort*!!

Well good... you needed a good snort, didn't you?

1:54 am

:D

it is like the kettle/pot thing really! LOL

1:54 am

sane, yes, neil...normal...no

Uh, that probably didn't sound too good.

1:55 am

uh neil

Actually grannyrose? I'd say normal, yes... sane, no. :P

there is nothing normal behind my eyes people! and not ashamed to say that!

How sane could I be? Ugh.

It's been a crazy couple of years.

1:55 am

sanity who really judges it?

1:55 am

bedtime -- not seeing straight any more (did I ever?) -- so farewell all and ...*poof

neil, it sounded fine!! LOL. and i am not into snorting except when I laugh ... then my friends laugh at me!

Haha, jilli. Good night... take care!

luv to you jilli, and have a good sleep hun

1:56 am

night jilli..

1:56 am

well normal is a setting on my washing machine, and the thought of you agitating my dirty clothes is well.....disturbing

Well don't be drinking a beverage when you laugh. That's all. Snorting usually happens then.

At least with me.

1:57 am

I like to lay in wait for someone to take a drink and then crack a joke

1:57 am

nite, jilli, sleep well, hun

I promise not to be setting on your washing machine.

1:57 am

in this house snorting when drinking is called "spritzarbeit" . Way to go ru

Interesting, scouser.

1:58 am

hmmmm, beer or spirit antrum washout...this could lead to greater things, ruru

1:58 am

I hear Palin has decided not to run...

she should... it makes the sport of shooting her more fun

1:58 am

Hi neil. I just had a peek at your Profile: what a lot of thoughts in there and lines to follow.

yep. See my bio, ruru!

1:58 am

yeah granny.

she should a least have a 30 second head start no??

You'll probably give me a thumbs up for my comment about that.

Scroll down to Oct. 05, ruru.

glad you are back with all your wonderful words neil... missed your profile :))

1:59 am

ok

1:59 am

neil your comment about the person turning down the job had me laughing: so succinct

yep. Thanks, scouser.

ok, i have to go have my cup of skim latte with my friend... bbs my friends :)

2:02 am

nite mrp, and to my fellow babblers, i also bid a fond farewell, until the morrow

But it isn't really my comment... it's a Twitter contact's tweet that I retweeted, because it was so priceless and I wholeheartedly agreed and was about to say similar when I saw that on my Twitter home page... and just laughed!

Since that was in the news that day.

I had to share it.

Good night grannyrose... if it's night there?

It couldn't be though... it's night here.

2:03 am

tweeting helps define the bon-mot

2:04 am

thanx, neil, nearly, but due to day light saving, it's still quite sunny here at 6pm

Debatable, scouser. Some tweeting, uh, no.

2:04 am

*poof*

Oh ok, grannyrose. It's 12:03 am here.

2:05 am

Personally I am too verbose for tweeting. I am not going to waste time paring thoughts to minimum.

haha, there is a 142 character limit per tweet... which gets annoying. That's why you see us resort to text-speak at times on there.

I often have to break up what I'm tweeting into 2 or 3 tweets.

2:06 am

I must go and sweep the yard. Byee

Take care, scouser.

2:07 am

so far our autumn is just wet and windy, not much colour changes yet. It was a bit weird with a bad summer and then some hot days all of a sudden in early autumn. Snow we never now. It comes when it comes... sometimes as early as october, sometimes as late as april. And some years, just no snow at all.

6:42 am

we never Know*

6:43 am

Sometimes NO snow? We have had a beautiful autumn and the last several days continuing through the next few days= summer weather again!

6:44 am

Our first snow falls in October but does not stick til November. We average 120-140 inches of snow each winter. There is a ski resort across the valley from me.

6:44 am

oh how lovely, Scrabs! I so love Autumn. yes, sometimes no snow at all. Some years too much all winter through. Very unpredictable weather in the netherlands.

6:45 am

The tree colors are almost at "peak"."

6:45 am

those colours, they are amazing. I can watch it for hours.

6:47 am

I took pics yesterday and must post on FB.

6:49 am

*note to self: check out FB soon and find Scrabs' pics*

6:49 am

I will do it soon but I need some breakfast first. BBS.

6:50 am

enjoy, Scrabs

8:14 am

i can't find them peri :)

see ya peri! (((hugs)))

they came home with a stray dog!

8:14 am

thanks annie

8:15 am

Deb...what you might do with your Bic

8:16 am

thanks tabby

and not just any dog... a great big golden retriever... huge 50kg at least animal!!! no collar... i drove around the neighbourhood looking out for people that might be looking for a dog... nothing. So this dog is in my garage, on a doggy bed, with blankets, water and food, and soothing music. I am the sick puppy around here!!

you can't turn a stray away... just no... can't do it. Anything could happen to it and I would have to live with it. My kids are kind hearted and know I will just take the animal in. Innocence gets to me.

8:19 am

hey mrp, that is frickety frackety fantastic. Golden retrievers are the dearest animals and how cool to have a pooch for your kiddies to love and love them back in this dark hour of yr family's life, eh?

and I laugh at myself, cause it is another mouth to feed! Bring it on God... give me some more

8:20 am

My sister just found a black cat up in Chicago. declawed, too skinny, and in the middle of the street. She asked me to take it. How can you say no? Especially to a black cat near Halloween. You don't know what someone might do to it.

indeed gort!! although Vixie is a little put out... our Shetland Sheepdog... but she is just as heartfelt and welcoming to any animal that comes into our house.

so right deb! good on you!! the poor baby needs a good feed and a good home

8:22 am

good ol' vixie, that's the spirit. never heard of a shetland sheepdog, but i'm picturing something the size of a horse

this dog is just massive!! I will call the ranger tomorrow, get him to come around and scan the dog for a microchip... won't let him take the animal until he has contacted the owners

8:22 am

And like you said another mouth to feed even as I apply for food stamps due to losing a job, but..... what can you do :)

a shetland sheepdog is a 'lassie dog', only minature, about 7kg

8:22 am

yeah good idea. people don't usually abandon pedigree pooches like retrievers

oh deb!! I am so so sorry!! ((((hugs)))) and luv to you and wishing things turn around hunny

8:24 am

a 7kg dog? R u sure i'

8:24 am

it's not a long haired hamster?

8:24 am

thanks mrp :)

LOL!!! well, she would be offended, but yes!! a long nosed hampster indeed!

deb, any chances on the job front?? I have been offered food packages and vouchers for the markets... I feel for you hunny

8:27 am

I have two part time jobs. But, I own a home - so need to pay mortgage. The jobs don't hardly pay that and now I have no health insurance. Last week I fell down my basement stairs. Luckily no doctor needed just a messed up elbow :)

oh shit deb!!

and mortgages are pressure cookers... I am so praying for you to get on your feet

8:28 am

I have wonder

8:28 am

ooops cat got in the way :) I have wonderful family and friends and you guys here!!!

and that makes all the difference in the world!! so happy to have friends and family... many can't help except with packing or bringing me chocolate... taking my kids over night or hugging me, but that is life in the 'strange lane'

8:31 am

I haven't always been too vocal on the chat. But, am so glad to have joined Babble in 2007 :)

and I say 'strange' cause I have always had a very comfortable life... i really have been blessed, but for things to turn, it has affected my kids badly and I have to be able to help them. They don't want for anything, just a happy mother. But there is stuff they don't realise and am trying to provide for them now.

8:32 am

r u having trouble sleeping mrp?

deb, you are a pleasing soul here... in the way that makes everyone pleased to have you here.

yes gort... bad trouble... but will go to bed soon and give myself time to try and fall asleep before converting to meds

8:33 am

I have also, mrp (comfortable life), but we will come through these "strange" times :)

indeed deb... we will (crossing fingers and toes and reaching out and hugging you too)

8:34 am

:)

8:34 am

good morning everyone;)

8:34 am

i'm sorry mrp, u have my sympathy. I've been an insomniac since the womb, but stress insomnia is extra tuff

(((((crossy))))))

8:34 am

morning crossy

8:34 am

(((MRP)))

8:34 am

howdy deb

indeed gort... didn't realise how screwed up that was for the soul

8:36 am

thanks for chatting mrp and all. Have to go take care of my friend's cat while she is out of town :) Animals are wonderful!!

crossy, i understand you and wildcat have been busy.... thank you so so so much!! I am a crying mess at times, but that is just amazing of you all... thank you again

see ya deb!! give the puss a pat and cuddle for me! blessed be hunny and hope things turn around soon for you darling **hugs**

8:36 am

The Red Queen would like Babblonia, because the words can mean whatever we want them to mean.

3:27 pm

*~*~*pompom shake*~*~*for wht

3:28 pm

I don't know that Aesop was big on the difference between tame and wild, Carlee.

3:28 pm

Though any book report almost demands a book be read twice,once as a book,and the second time to be torn down to is componants and autopsied

3:29 pm

its just not "gelling"...its not coming together..i know what i want to say..i know the examples i want to use...its just NOT..happening

3:29 pm

not a book report...essay...

3:29 pm

Kissing cousins

3:29 pm

and i have now read the stupid thing 3 times

3:29 pm

the words just..are not....coming together for me

3:30 pm

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

3:30 pm

Carlee, sometimes I find that I just have to start writing. And maybe halfway through it starts coming together. Once that happens it is easier to go back and redo the first half.

3:30 pm

going to try writing on netbook cus that is where i am now used to typing as opposed to lappie...

3:31 pm

But it is hard to write when it isn't gelling.

3:31 pm

Take a bit of a breather then,if you have read it three times,it wiil come togetger best if you allow your mind to mull it over gently a bit

3:32 pm

Good luck carlee. I am off to watch some football.

3:32 pm

i dont have time crossy...i have to finish this thing tonight b/c i have another essay to write tomorrow...so as to allow myself time to "play with both" before they are due

3:34 pm

am comparing the trial of el-ahrairah to the book...

3:35 pm

he uses 3 themes in he fable that run through the book

3:35 pm

adaptation to environment/situation, trickery, aid of other species

3:36 pm

adaptation to situation... hufra coming into the warren and the new warren ( that becomes watership down...they adapted to their ever changing environment as they travelled

3:37 pm

:-(it is a grand story,just wish i had read it more recently,if you had said you had a week still,iwould read it again

3:37 pm

trickery... rabscuttle disguising himself as a red and green rabbit... and bigwig pretending to be on own...

3:38 pm

and animals...the hedgehog and the pheasant...versus the mouse and the black capped gull

3:38 pm

9:46 pm

STORY OF CLUES FOR OCTOBER 9, 2011 I am almost down to my la4/4 word so here is a story of clues for you babblers. I cannot compare to the as 6/21 babblers here. My rank fa4/7s way below other babblers. I cannot complete grids as fa 4/7 as other babblers. It st4/5s me how quickly people finish grid. If the grid is too big, I just fl4/7 out give up because of my in 5/12 ability to complete the big grids.I think some have an in 6/18 ability to babble with ease, but not me.I am always looking at the chog for in5/14 on clues that others are so ni4/5 to give. My husband is driving me nu 4/5 as he waits for the computer. I do not feel like getting into a big sp4/5 with hubby so I'll give him computer.I am going to go eat my dinner,sa 5/12ed chicken, on a pl5/12. I hope it ta5/10s good. Then I'm going to watch the Sigourney movie Al5/10s I'll be back la4/4r on at half pa 4/5 nine to give clues.

9:47 pm

thank you for the list, min!!

9:48 pm

yw

9:49 pm

didn't have much time to work on the grid today although I did manage to get more than half the words, somehow

9:51 pm

More than half is better than none uusue2! I've been saving my la4/4 word since 5:36.I already know what it is because I entered it into Lickety's list already.

9:52 pm

indeed it is!

10:02 pm

uploading a bunch of arboretum photos to facebook for those of you who know me there...

Hi Sue and Minveryork.

10:07 pm

Hello neil! How are you doing? You're in the grid today

I'm often in the grid, Min.

Curse of having a short name.

I bet even some longer ones are in there from time to time though.

10:09 pm

Well this is the first time I have noticed it. You are 4 points.I have only seen my name once in the grid and I am worth 12 points. Too bad enable doesn't accept personal names. However, it does accept Agee & Alec

10:10 pm

2 phantom words for me today are inspect and pencil

Yeah, I know... I'm not worth much. :P

10:11 pm

Me neither!

You're worth thrice my value, haha!

10:11 pm

hi again, neil!

Hi again Sue!

10:12 pm

I'd need to have a name like Jennifer & you'd have to have a name like Johnathan to be worth lots of points

hi all, and my phantom is nuptual

Jonathan, usually... yeah.

Hi Gwen.

10:12 pm

Hi Book Doctor Gwen! How are you? Welcome to grid.

10:13 pm

10:50 pm

Hello sooooo! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:51 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

10:52 pm

Hi all. My real name would be a 10/23 on here.

10:53 pm

Neil - al84 = what et was with a bit more, maybe his family didn't like him any more.

10:54 pm

al8/40, I meant.

10:56 pm

Hi Min.

10:57 pm

Min most often does a great clue story.

10:59 pm

I'm one of the people Min most often wants to hit on the head with a hammer in the stories because I appear to do the grid with ease.

10:59 pm

hello minveryork.

11:00 pm

There's no magic involved, I promise you... just years of doing the grids and getting to know the weird words and the Baabblets.

11:01 pm

Hello sooooo.

11:01 pm

hello Jacula

Clues are up

11:03 pm

Thank you MrP. but it's an hour almost before the flip here.

11:04 pm

How many words MrP

11:04 pm

Well, I assume any Lickety post I now see is from 'MrP'.

11:05 pm

nm, I looked. I have to say, I prefer the smaller grids.

11:05 pm

Well, the clues are dated Monday 10th Oct, but the grid hasn't flipped yet.

11:05 pm

right jacula.

11:08 pm

Sorry Lickety (or MrP) that grid's done now.

11:09 pm

Does anyone still need clues for the current grid?

11:09 pm

I have 80 words left but that's ok............ thanks for the offer though.

11:11 pm

ok

11:17 pm

snags - it's okay to ask for clues in the meantime.

11:18 pm

I've sent a message to Michelle in order to find out if she posted the list or if Mark did.

11:19 pm

However, since I don't rely on any list sinc BrandyJack's. it won't affect me.

11:22 pm

Midnight in UK and midday in midwest USA is wher I think the grid flips.

11:22 pm

Or 6am in UK and 6pm in the midwest.

11:23 pm

I've got an urge to post a link to Lyn Skyn's'Sweet Home Alabama' here, but I will resist the urge.

11:25 pm

Hi JAC

11:25 pm

Hi DR.

11:26 pm

how r u

Thanks Jacula but I wasn't asking for a clue. I was just wondering if that's the 8 Gwen had found. I finished the grid a while after flip last night. Appreciate the thought though.

11:30 pm

okay Neil, that's okay.

11:30 pm

Bearing up, still jobless - all 3 adults in the house, DR.

11:31 pm

rough !

11:31 pm

Just playing My Generation by The Who from the 60s in my head phones now.

11:37 pm

Off now before the next grid and all the clues before I want them arrive. Happy Babbling all!

11:38 pm

good night

11:59 pm
