Yes, just letting melon know there's another word she wouldn't want to post as an icon, dart. :P

No melon, it's more related to the other one I just gave the stats for.
ah, a Harley Holder!
i have sy8 and ho8.. what r the other 2?
I was reprimanded i9n the early 60s for using the cr word in an ad for ladies' trousers -- the ad was for a Tall Shop and the pants were longer there than usual -- useful information. Bah.
ch8,50
wow thats crazy jill
Related: ch7,36 preceding it [singular].

Hi shdybr8!
hi neil!
Nice photo... dogs at play. :)
yes, old photo, but too lazy to switch
OMG. You guys wanna see CUTE?
hi shdy
jil.. i recall that in 1955, my family and i and my boyfried were watching tv and there was a commercial for playtex girdles .... my grandmother left the room along with mom- dad pulled the cord on the tv and roger and i were totally humiliated by the incident
jilli! nic e to see you, how goes it?
oh how ridiculous, s'mom!
8's done. thansk again
s well, shdy -- and you?
oh wow s'smom.. thats gotta be awkward
Laura [Fauxmage on Babble] posted this on Google+ yesterday... if this doesn't make you all smile and go "awwwwww", nothing will: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2 G-_JMvwmwE
rmember this was new england - at least 10 years behind the world and yes my family were prudish, but commercials for undergarments were not on tv
Hi all!! NBT & NBS....finally got the I's
s'mom, reminds me of seeing my first condom commercial on tv, I was about 12 or so and alone with my dad, very awkward moment!
when i watched boys dont cry, my dad pretended to go to the bathroom and my mom got a phone call even though the phone didnt ring..during the rape scene
hello everyone :)
*that was "all's well..."
doin' well jilli, tx
hi nan
hi nan
Wow, so many posts appeared just then, I think y'all missed that, so -- Laura [Fauxmage on here] posted this on G+ yesterday... if this doesn't make you all smile and go "awwwwww", nothing will: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2 G-_JMvwmwE
Haven't seen "Boys don't cry" -- wish I had.
Ugh. Let me repost that link, haha!
was ch 8 called?
yes shdy- i am still irritated by them... it is sad that nothing is private any more- there is no mystery left
Here: http://tinyurl.com/3v7f8l2
i assume so dee
Yes please, neil -- tinyurl it?
I called it, Dee... but does it matter?
not a happy watch, jilli, but a good one.
Ah, I see you did.
ch7,36 and ch8,50 -- related.
I did, jilli: http://tinyurl.com/3v7f8l2
Oh, yes. Haha!
s'mom, even worse are newer ones that I won't even speak of in a public place, but they suggest you purchase them as gifts.....what????
it was awful cos- i can still feel my red face with the memory of it
What's that, shdybr8?
them being "personal" something or another
true shdy.... and i believe that we as a society are poorer for the blatant attitude
vibrators
I agree, if you have to call it personal, it's personal
Wow, an ad for girdles would cause embarrassment?
ch 5/7
in the early 50's yes
"it'll blow your hair back " UGH Please !
ok, new topic, anyone?
Wow, sammy.
yep, that's the one
how about dem bears
neil...the first time they allowed the sound of a toilet flushing on TV was on all in the family
well,....how bout them LSU Tigers!!!!
ah i googled it'll blow your hair back " .. i ve seen these commercials and i was like WTH
I didn't know that, dart.
that was late 60's/early 70's
[alt-tabs over to google]
ahh, love the me6/27, one of my favorite words
HAHAHAHAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA!
gotta love google lol
Must be very vigorous and high-speed to cause that to happen to one's hair. lol
Yep. :)
lol neil
i very much remember life without google, but I don't think I could go back
Depending which... oh never mind. :P
Me either, shdybr8.
i use google and imdb religiously
works great as we get older and CRS, google is a lifesaver! No more going crazy trying to think of something
I have lots of out-of-date encyclopedia things
I use google daily, imdb once in a while.
for days and days
and then when it comes to mind, you blurt it out, out of context!
did you know theyre making a movie based on the ouija board
its called "Ouija"
did they use the board to come up with the title
haven't seen one of those in years, still prefer google
people who used to make a living selling those door to door jilli....hard to believe
that would have been a short session
lol josh
but its not as bad as "battleship: the movie" out in 2012
I remember, dart
are there only 2 ch 7's please
jilli, much of my childhood involved reading encyclopedias, seems i was a dork from day 1!!!
i only have two dee
ty cos
i remember my 3rd grade teacher getting upset at me and 2 of my friends because we were using the encyclopedia in the classroom to look up dirty words lol
I only have 2 ch 7 as well
i would assign myself projects to research, outside of school, eek
Haha, cosdem. What kids don't do that?
Bet I'm dorkier, shdybr8.
she made us write a letter to our parents and tell them what we did
my dad was like who cares
me too shdy... i thought everyone had an oed and a websters and a thesaurus
lol, s'mom, glad to not be alone!
hi jili, cos, sammysmom, shdy, diz, dart... all I missed :)
I still have a big fat book called "The Outline of Science", published in 1937, which I devoured at age 11 -- so quaint now. Talk about dork!
hi volley
jealous, jilli! would love a book like that
hey volley
(I still check it out occasionally)
oh, hi dee, sorry to be rude!
do you think most babblers are or were dorks??
no prob shdy, it was I who was rude :)
pretty good chance, huh?
Oh no, cos. What did they say?
probably, dee
not that you were rude, lmao, the q before!
im a proud dork
And I was interested in politics even at that age, jilli... now how's THAT for dorky?
I love the name dork...
Same here, cos. But I'm dorkier than you... I think? I hope? lol
i got into politics in 5th grade lol
need top middle e and i stats for nbt
And writing as well, btw.
Yep, same here.
middle E is... em6/24
top e is em 6/24
my students always crack up when I say somethingl like, oh - I'm a big enough dork that....... they laugh a great deal
Ok, post a pic of yourself as a teenager and let's see who looked dorkier then? I'll have you beat!
sorry cos lag here
I was a megadork in my teens.
i refuse to add a pic of me online while in my dork stage
I was gorgeous then... dorky now LOL

But they're not public.

oh go on, guys, the theme is coming up, thanks to neil
prednisone and RA took that away, but all is ok... :)
Well if it makes you feel better, Dee, I'm still dory looking and was never gorgeous... or even close.
Uh, dorky even.
[can't type tonight either]
7's: ch, ch, es, ha, ma, ma, mo, or, ta
just plain age took my gorgeousness away
i guess i m still a dork... at least that is what my grand kids say--- ( nana actually goes to the library and hauls books home and reads them) as opposed to that electronic thing or reading them on the net
Oh yes! I need to re-arrange my Flickr so I can do the icon themes.
stats for the i, please?
ty cos!
oooh found it.. ra7
I do that too, sammy. I love libraries!

i never turned out gorgeous, but it was nice to get old enough for it not to matter!
LOL sammysmom too funny

Yeah, but I have to do something with my Flickr first, jilli.

ty cos
nbt, nbs
I have no great-grands on the horizon, althoug the grands are 32 and 26 :-(
wtg nan
for all of those who know who shady and bear in my name are, they are both getting crazy old. I have the mastiff rescue lady coming for our home visit next week to get me in the process for when my older babies leave me, trying to focus ahead...
:( im sorry shdy
sorry shdy... it is a hard thing i know
not to be sorry about, just focusing on something positive instead, bear is a 14 year old 100 pound dog, his life expectancy was about 9 years
oh wow..
brb gotta hug my dog now
he has been very happy for a long time
Ok, does any kid get dorkier than this? [me on right of photo, Dad's left side]:
http://tinyurl.com/6jjzdnp
I wish I could have those doggy comforters again -- and still miss my cat. but...too many reasons not to
neil at least you had taste in clothes. i didnt
paco needs potty. so brb
What do you mean cos... what did you wear?
bear and shady are both mostly deaf, don't see much either, but still very happy. I went to the store earlier for about 15 minutes, everyone went goofy when I got back
On that note, Bear just fell down, again, so painful to watch
neil you look perfectly normal to mee -- and such a handsome dad!
Oh no, shdy. :(
Oh thanks jilli... I'll tell him you said that!
He doesn't think so.
shdy, I know how hard that is -- I had to watch it happen with my beloved old Danes
I was a scrawny looking kid there.
Well, didn't come here to be depressing, so I'll take off for the evening, on the note that they are both happy, medicated, and well cared for. Oh, and idiot boy, the young one (8) is fine.....Thanks Jilli, night all
perfectly normal kid, neil
Take care, shdy!
We had to lose both of our family dogs too... it's very hard. :(
They were both Labs.
bye, shdy, and big hugs to those dear old dogs

hi ru
hi dee
aren't you guys done yet?
not I... really pokey...
Hi ruru!
I was a while ago.
hi neil
Just working on an email... have to get you to look at something and tell me what you think? It's perplexing.
ok
just need the ch that isn't a buggy and the ra 7 now
the 2nd ch 7 makes awful coffee over a fire
ty dee -- over anything, I think
ra 6 and its plural... ra + what the light in the top of a car roof is called...
I can't think of what that is
ty dee -- 7's done
sports arena... Silver .... in Michigan
not the coffee pot thing
top of St. Paul's cathedral or the Pantheon
oh no idea there either...lol I'm hopeless
I was asking about the second ch.. not the ra6
ch 7 def a composite plant, Cichorium intybus, having bright-blue flower heads and toothed oblong leaves, cultivated as a salad plant and for its root, which is used roasted and ground as a substitute for or additive to coffee. Compare endive
think of the building -- what is on top?
lucky you weren't talking about beer ruru...otherwise you'd be hopless
a substitute for coffee -- and sometimes is mixed with coffee in the cheaper brands
starts like someone with style
LOL dart
still missing 2 8's: have ch and ha
ruru...abbrev for the Windy City+ name (boy or girl)
got it finally
thank you.. sorry I'm so dense
ch 8, ha 8, ?, ?
ho 8 sy 8
ty dart

would someone point me towards the ha 8
ha 8: french beans
thank you
a clue for the ho 8, please?
8's are done
cowboys nan
yeeehaaa
ty -- was going in the wrong direction
well you are back in the saddle now
gro-o-o-an
oh sorry.. you can rein me in
ruru..when you go to the doctor for the knee...you should have him look at your punny bone too
I was chomping at the bit to put that one in
my knee is too low for my punny bone
lol -- good night -- back for the last 67 tomorrow :)
they must be connected somehow....puns went way up when knee went bad
lol
...lol.. what can I say.. I'm on drugs

poor puss is she old?
morning all
HI SPRITE
no onlky 6 but shes got too many lumps in her stomach to operate on
spritey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxx
thats tough
*hugs Kiwi* Hi hun :)
hey vanilla :D
oh that is sad, Kiwi
Sprite I didnt get an answer last time, think you just left, but if you had to solve this grid with dutch words how would you go?
so im sitting here in the dark doing some drinking some playing and some singing - im pathetic tonight
kinda like having a wake in advance
its for her best groove
i know its still tought cause shes a cute sweet little petitie thing
never saw the question, vanilla. How do you mean? This very grid? Or a grid designed for dutch words?
this grid? surely you can't design a grid for dutch words
of course it is tough, Kiwi. It may be the best for her and you will do it, but it is not the best for you and so you mourn.
actually, yes, you can. This grid is for english, and has a kind of formula for which letters are used more often and which less. It has some dutch words but not many.
maybe i should come over and have a drink with you Kiwi
fair enough, you'd have to more vowels and less c,y
by the time you got here ill probably be passed out lol
exactly. And I would go about it the same as I do now. Look, type all the words I see, and then go hunting for the rest. I think though, will all the excercise I have had in english grids, I would find a dutch one much harder.
can see a few dutch words in this not many tho
mees :) the little bird
woohoo got my first 8 giddy up
good job kiwi
ohhhhh ma5 - village ppl being ma5 men lol
lol
only village pple?

[probably missed her]
Hi, GK!
evening all :)
mrp! :)
I'm so glad to see you!
I'm just trying to finish up an emali... something I can only describe as "bizarre" that I'd value your opinion and input about.
Ummm, "email" even.
ok, will go looksie, just doing 20 things at once, so if I disappear every so often, it is cause I have been called away. :))
((((neil)))) !
Haven't sent it yet, mrp... still finishing it up. ;)
And no problem... understand you're busy.
And ((((hugs)))) to you too! :)
good morning
hi Ruby, hows things?
hi dizgrannie. how are you feeling? it's cold this AM and I had a n"alone" half hour in here and almost reached half (109) but must bid you adieu!!!
{{}}
{{huggles}} ruby
must say g/dtr did really well for her first try on Babble, managed to get 85 words including 2 8's (but I think she peeked at my puter on them ones...LOL)
bavck for a couple of minutes
That is very cute about your grand, get her started on word games early!
my son (age almost 48) still play scrabble when we're (rarely) together
Why not, ruby? My dad loves to play Scrabble and he's 52. He'll probably play it until he drops... he's a word game and puzzle addict like me. Guess I got it from somewhere huh? :)
Ruby, she's 11 and has often sat here with me playing Babble, (it really helps cos she finds the smaller words) now that we have another puter, I set her up with her own Babble acc and she thinks she is the 'ants pants'..LOL
Ah ha, so you have a helper, do you? ;)
LOL Neil...YEP!
So she's a Babbler now? Wow. Must watch my language on here! :P
[haha, I knew all the expletives at her age]
Nah you are okies, she has heard her g/mum and g/dad plenty of times.
I'm sure... like we heard our dad, lol.
And we turned out ok. ;)
OK? reckon we all turned out fantastic, before all this politically correct bullshyte came into force
Oh man. Don't even get me started on that!
LOL Neil.....will shutup now...xx
Haha! :P
oh derr just got my last 7, ma 6 and 7
So that's fireworks for you?
nah 54 left, prolly finish in the am here when I am on my first r second coffee
Oh, ok. I misunderstood there.
tis okies.....just meant I found my last 7 letter word
evening all :)
here and then gone... it happens with me at the moment :)
hi MrP
mrp? :)
Are you back now?
I sent that email... check, please?
hi neil :)
hi diz :)
mrp! :)
Are you here now?
hi neil, have replied
brb, need to cook food for 5 minutes
Oh ok, thanks! :)
Replied. :)
am enjoying a steak! albeit a small steak, but we are totally enjoying it!
7 hours later in doctors offices all day, finally got my darling daughter into talking.... and i was greeted with an amazing box of goodies when I got home... everything I need for a few days, and a cooked meal to boot!! Red curry thai chicken! yum
Oh nice, mrp! :) Who brought you the goodies?
a friend up the road, Kay... she works for 'meals on wheels' ... they are an organise employed by the government to feed the homeless... and they get lovely meals!
i need to go put the kitchen to rest, then sort out the kids to ensure no more fights.... ah, kids! bbs
How nice of her to do that! :)
Ok, have fun. ;)
morning, all!
Hi Sue!
hi, car!
Whew! Y's done!

Well, stay safe. And take a minute to breathe every now and then! It's friday!

Sorry to hear about the "tough time". My whole last year was bad...but I found Wade, and have a happy ending! Glad you r better!
ah well, we all go through tough times now and again, don't we. Sorry to hear your year was so bad, but happy with the happy ending. I think if we don't give in and don't give up, things are bound to get happier :)
Absolutely! Positive is good...Nearly died in 2009-2010 from a bad necrotic infection in right knee and leg...finished up with knee replacement in May 2011...been going well ever since!
Hi Jai, long time no see
Left over nasty bacteria from katrina...
oh wow. Scary, jaianniah. So glad it all ended well and that you found new love to boot :)
hey pabtrek
Hiya!!! Good to see all of you! Yay!
bad katrina
glad to see you are doing well, sorry you had such a bad time
Yup! He is a 6th degree Sensei, Black Belt teacher, great guy, so sweet! And great protection, too!
LOL!
hi sprite
sounds wonderful :D :D
Bad Katrina, indeed!
I was so glad to get out of Mississippi...just to get away from the memories!
I can imagine... a real tough thing to go through, especially with that kind of aftermath.
Now I am in Penn., and have gone thru an earthquake, a Hurricane (Irene) and devastating floods....LOL...I guess no matter where you are, the weather and Earth are there!
crazy time in the northeast this year
good grief! *holds jai for a minute* You should try the netherlands. Things aren't so bad here.
Except for global warming...won't you guys be under water if we do not get our (USA) act together????
some predictions say so, yes. We are below sea level, after all.
but so far, we haven't noticed, grin
I am now in the Poconos, low Mountains, very beautiful...Quite a change..but I am glad to back in the Northern US
I am originally fromthe Chicago area
wow you really sound so happy, jaianniah. Am so glad.
Yup....It is also nice to see Babble again...Numeg is doing well, too (my daughter)..she is also going to college to be a Teacher...all my daughters (3) are in College! Quite something!
Nutmeg
really a milestone. They are grown now :)
Yes...my son is going to be 35 next April...I would feel old, except I started when I was 8....LOL! Grin!
hahahaha
How are nrkii and alll the rest???

fabulous, scrabs!! Right now I'm enjoying my last blooming plants of 2011 -- a BIG bed of English mums -- pale salmon/beige-ish
I have columbine that plants itself everywhere
Good outcome from Amazon: nephew's gift card (18th birthday) did not arrive at home despite tracking record showing delivery 10/6. Amazon deactivated the card, reimbursed me, and then I sent an e-card for safest delivery.

I just ordered trees (tiny) from Itasca Greenhouses--somewhere in Minnesota. I found them on-line and ordered Ponderosa pines, white pines, balsam fir, and others that I would like to strategically place in yard to enhance privacy.
Some birch trees too. Buying saplings would have been ideal but far more expensive.
nice....we order trees every year from the State....tiny sticks when they come in but they do take off
Speaking of trees, just found a sy8

hello carlee
hi there river
welcome
hello to all new arrivers
the gang really is all here - yippeee - happy friday
hi there annie dear :)
I kind of like this grid so far.
Hi kat and all new entrants. Chat log is flying
no time for a grid..just came by to say hi....work later...then running to go to camp this evening for the weekend
Ooooh, enjoy the weekend, kat!
that should be fun car - enjoy
hi ya scrabs....not sure "enjoy" will be operative word scrabs..
we have gale force winds... expecting thunderstorms...and..THE POINT OF THIS WEEKEND.. is outdoor cooking over a fire
Will you have the same rainy weeken as we will have?
yes, high wind warning too
yes... we do
and..i have one girl who is terrified of wind..so will be 2 sleepless nights for me
( completely panics in a tent and hyperventilates etc when is really windy )
what is this lone e in the top middle?
at least, what direction does it go in
scottish uncles...em4
emsa
not
es 5/12
es and auto
I have that one- it's not the top center e. See where that one e is?
em and 2 letter plural ending for the uncles
I don't know scottish uncles
not that one either
Even though the clue potentially has us in the PB, according to the strict constructionists
em6/24----beginning of green stone and hot *** (fast car)
so is anything new in babbleland?
thank you annie.
I finally got the right starting point, youre welcome
ch 7/36 plz
Swing low, sweet...
ty kap
so i had my "date" last night
and how was it, (((Carlee)))
back again, Annie keeps interrupting me to play
How did it go? This is HS classmate?
yes...
I just want the bottom I and then I want to hear about dates.
ih + male sheep and then plural
i had assumed he was at the very least separated... he WAS..operative word being WAS...they are "back together" but lack any form of intimacy ( to which i say...what is the point ..but is their business not mine)
oh Carlee :-(
so... we will meet for coffee once a week...as friends..and that is it
Sc**** unclles and male sheep I don't know.
( damn..he is tall too... 6'3 and still nice looking...and so polite)
Carlee, men like that...:(
<sigh>
doesnt sound promising, carlee
Triangles- shudder.
hi again, all!
hi Uusue
now about that bottom center i- male sheep"
carlee, friends sounds like the right thing (and maybe sort of distant friends?)
not promising....but was nice to rekindle a friendship...have adult conversationwithout every other word being "like" and not involving the criminal code
to hit something with force is to ra* it
I could have just spelled it out with all the info I just came for it :-(
OH, ok- I was looking in the wrong place.
a once a week or there abouts coffee date...breaks up my day
Sorry I was not getting it.
and thanks to the chat I have started my grid with a lot of weird e and i words!
glad you did get it though
Hi sue
Yeah, Mom- could you also tie my shoes for me?
hi, scrabs!
ok..well..off to shower and get on with my day..work at noon...( with abit of running before that) then off to camp for the weekend
if you need me to I will :-)
Hi Scrabbler
have a great day Uusue
I have to go to the gym. I missed it on Wednesday.
ok, class in 40 minutes and I am still at home, must run! see you all later!
bye bye Uusue
Thanks Mom. It's the knowing I can maintain an unhealthy dependency that is so reassuring.
I'll leave them untied till you get here.
:-)
Actually, they're pull-on, but could you come anyway?
I must get prouctive--must clean litter boxes, dishes, me.
have a great day, Scrabbler
I will--meeting friend at noon for lunch, laughter, hiking, ping-pong!!
where do you live, Kap?
that sounds like such fun, enjoy
What ever would we do without good ole Mom? : )
you all would get along just fine.

congrats wvteach and good morning
good morning to all
what a relief after yesterday!!
what a relief after yesterday! I keep meaning to ask, does anyone know how to find the babblers page on facebook?
hm
no - don't use facebook
if you type in babble community in the search box you should find it
Hi all
Anyone here?
good morning bichon
Hi wv
rainy and dark morning here
same here wv. Looks like I'll be rained out of my daily walk
good day to stay in at the computer, but have already been out once and have to go out again this afternoon
I wouldn't mind walking in the rain, but the fluffs would. When it's like this, they won't even want to poop outside.
must have been windy last night along with the rain - lots of leaves down on the grass
this year's folliage season is a bust. With all the rain we had in Aug & Sept., it's pretty poor
i have been surprised that we have (had) as much color as we did because of the dry summer and then the heavy rain also in Aug / Sept
I think you've had much more of a drought this summer than we did. We've had over 20" more rain than average this year. My m.i.l. in Richmond complains about the lack of rain there all the time.
this summer was unusually hot and also dry
I haven't taken my winter clothes out from the attic yet, it's been so warm
have gotten out some long sleeve shirts and sweat shirts - have a sweat shirt on right now from being out early to take my granddaughter to school
son and DIL are away for 10 days and the two grandmas have split up the tasks of caring for the two grandchildren for each day
wow, ten day vacation for them. That's neat. My grand daughter will be staying over night tomorrow. We are going to bake cookies.
son has a conference and DIL going along to make it a vacation in San Francisco - neither has ever been there. My granddaughter (5) often stays over on the weekends and she also likes to help with the baking. The grandson is only 11 months old.
SF, lucky them. I visit the Bay Area a lot as son and family live there. So much to do.
They just left last night and come back next Saturday. Think the conference probably starts Monday so they have this weekend to both be tourists
The weather's nice there at this time of year. It's before the rains start and usually sunny and mild
good morning everyone:) reading back,since we have already had 2 frosts up here,the last 2 weeks have been amazing with the fall colours,but now it has rained for the last 3 days and is supposed to rain for 3 more
DIL couldn't decide yesterday what kinds of clothes to back - warm or cool weather. So she packed both - she slways has much more than she needs.
It's quite warm there now. It was 83 in San Mateo [south of the airport] yesterday
i assume, crossy, that you have lots of reds with the maples. We have mostly yellows with a little red
crossy, defragged yesterday and it didn't find anything to defrag. It's a fairly new computer
bright reds,yellows,and a variety or oranges
thats is well bichon
beautiful - fall is such a nice time of the year
crossy loves fall:))
ty crossy
I love fall too: apple picking, long walks in the cool crip air
crossy, can you defrag a Mac?
all our orchards are harvesting now:) there must be 30 varieties of apple bins at the market:))))
i am sure you can bichon,but i have never owned a mac
anything with a internal hard drive should have a way to be defragged
I guess I can google it
but i see the new solid state drives do not
It sounded like you have to use third party software or reinitialize the hard drive. I am not doing that
My Mac is old and tired. I wanted my sone who works at Google to do it, but he didn't want to
i see,seems bichon that mac do not have a onboard framentation program and you must use 3rd party software..so caution is reccomended
I dont think it is worth it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1634
snap btw lol
and since most apples i see are all in one units,we cannot just swap out the old hard drive if a problem occurs(thats why crossy makes his own)
though dealing with windows and mr gates can be a pain:/
i cannot wait till the google os ships
Think I'll just leave as is. I mostly use my new Dell laptop
dell..shudder
I haven't heard anything about the google os
it is in the works
i am having a great time with my first experience with an andriod os on the wifes tablet..it is quite fun:))
first week was hard,i kept trying to do things the old hard windows way that is ingrained in all of us,but once i sat back and let it do all the work for me,it was easy lol
I don't have a tablet. but I do have an android phone
well,when you do decide on a tablet,get an andriod one
samsung galaxy tablet or the asus transformer tab would be my 2 reccomendations
I don't know why I would get a tablet. What would I do on it I couldn't do on a laptop
you can sit on the john and play babble at the same time,without balancing it on yer knees lol
no, seriously, what is the big difference
and bichon,check this..my tablet has a 16 hour!!! battery life!
that is one big diff
with my asus,it had a keyboard docking station,so it can be a tablet or a laptop
Okay, I can understand 16 hour battery life, but I don't play games except Babble
it is also an e-book reader that can fit in the hands comfortably when you untether it from the keyboard
it is a video camera,a regular camer as well,and does voice/picture phone calls
I like to listen to books on CD, which I download to my Ipod. I think I've reached the limit of what I want with electronics
i have a program in it that can set it up as a ham radio and monitor all the ems frequencies....
but that is fine as well bichon,we all have our gadget threshold
My d.i.l. is considering giving the 4 y.o. her Ipod so she can play with it. is this where we are going?
but this tablet is set to replace my phone,my ham radio and my desktop computer..so i shall only have a single gadget
i think so bichon
em
howdy angelsong
it is wild with this tablet,i am already doing face time phone calls with him on skype in las vegas:))
i get each months national geographic on it..for free..
read my daily newspaper on it
to center e, just a hint
looking...
and if i want the sky is falling type news i watch everything that cnn has to offer lol
tada finito!!
yaa for lbd!
woot lbd. I am having so much trouble with this grid. Do you have a hint for the top center e?
em6
em + h**e today gone tomorrow + suped up car, a hot***
ty lbd
tyvm, now I have NBT
back in 10...poink!
I'm with you Bich. I have no need for high end electronics. I have simple requirements for my phone and my computers.
I'm content with my laptop, Mac, Smartphone and Ipod
I'm also very satisfied with the Dell products I have purchased. For my home and my office. Not sure why they get ridiculed here on a regular basis.
crossy, that site you posted for mrp is not working for me
I am happy with dell as well molly
I will just get a money order or send a check, bbl
crossy is back:)
and for the average,use it 3 years and toss it consumer,dell is fine..but you ladies have no idea of frustration till you have tried to update gpu drivers on a dell product,they are proprietary,so you cannot just go to the nvidia site or other gpu sites for them
all dell gpu driver MUST be upgraded via the dell site itelf:((
and that is a royal p,i,t,a
and peri,if you are still here just mail me at p.a.melbourne@gmail.com and i will shoot you wildcats snail mail addy
((((crossy)))) !
****peri**** !
i just got on to say hi for now... will play in the morning
Molly, I don't know why either.
I went for a walk (at 2.45am) and picked some wild flowers, which is totally illegal, off the side of the road across from me. Flannel Flowers... they are just beautiful.
(((MRP)))
but we won't tell anyone about that!
lol,i shall not say a word about it
We have pretty wild flowers here - but they wilt very quickly even in water - meant to be wild I think
hi crossy!!! sorry to have missed you the last day or so... been busy with government stuff trying to get some money.
np at all:)
hi ursh :)) the flannel flowers last for about 2 weeks in water... and as they grow like weed, I try to only pick about 10 flowers out of 1000 that are on the plant
thank you crossy!
How are you doing mrp? I don't know if I know what a flannel flower is
It's an Aussie flower
yay just found ben hur's racing car - ch7 and 8
ty ursh
it has white petals and feels like flannel... they are beautiful... and grow like cactus
now I have NBS as well as NBT
Sounds lovely mrp. Not hardy though
Finally half way through
but, many of our wild flowers are protected species... which is right for all. I picked some to brighten up the home... but did not pull the roots.
I wonder if the seeds would grow in the US
i am sure they are growing there!!
the plant is like aloe vera... you take the root and plant it... grows like crazy!
i would take a pic and post it, but I might get arrested!
bbl my friends, have to put my daughter to bed as it is very late!! bbl :))
Any hints for the i please for nbt
ih + male sheep and then pl
thank you very much
yvw
we have a flower like that here mrp.it is called a trillium and is the provincial flower and carries a fine if picked
lol,for those who play games on facebook,some of them offer free surveys and in exchange you get a few free facebook credits...i tried 6 of them and did not qualify for a single one hehe
seems i do not fit the parameters they require
Hello :)
howdy sadie
howdy crosshair :)
hello sadie
hiya wvteach :)
Sadie - i live just south of Pittsburgh and my husband grew up near Allentown (small town called Pennsburg)
oh get out wvteach .....i grew up in pittsburgh four years ago moved to a small town tween allentown and philly called east greenville...right smack next pennsburgh lol
Know East Greenville well - his parents moved from Pennsburg in 1976 so its been a long time - he went to the Perkiomen School there and he still gets the alum magazine
I am however a diehard pittsburgh sports teams fans
we actually are in Morgantown but get the Pittsburg TV stations so follow the sports teams there also - but we're not really much of sports fans
It is nice here still country hasnt been built up into malls and such yet
i thought maybe Philly might have expanded further out in to those areas - it is beautiful country
I do miss Pittsburgh but not my ex whos still there
no thank goodness it has not
even Philly when i first when there i was suprized...I am used to the very tall buildings in Pittsburgh....Philly doesnt have realy tall ones like that
i thought when we moved here (Morgantown) that we would go up to Pittsburg more often but we really don't. my son and dil do go up there for shopping, movies, concerts. They flew out of the Pittsburg airport this morning
that and this side of the state you can see forever no mountains and hills where i am
well its nice to have it closer like that but still be in the country ...
I am from the midwest - Illinois - and we drove through there this summer. I really knew that I missed the hills then
only thing we know about philly up here is they have mean assed parking authority lol
rofl crosshair
parking wars show cracks us up
i dont spend much time there at all
i like the country too much
I guess that is why we don't go to Pittsburgh that much
same here,i am 2 hours north of our closest large city(toronto) and even that is a tad too close for my liking
I was actually bout 15 miles north and a bit east of Pittsburgh. But did get there often for one thing and another. Now I am in the country and spoiled. Its so peaceful for the most part out here.
small town life is much beter
yep
wife and i are thinking about the muskoka area up here..would be about 300.400 mile north of the bordewr..just about right:))
sounds nice
it is sadie,the home of the 20,000 islands,seems like every town has its own lake..the soul has room to breath up there
oh that is nice
breathe
my daughter was visiting last week and we were out watching the stars......so much clearer and no street and business lights interferring with the view
up at dawn,and wander down to the dock with your morning tea,and slide the canoe into the still morning water,and as the sunrise cuts away the fog,you hear the loons calling...sigh
:)
home for a shore lunch of fresh battered speckled trout and hash browns over a campfire..
anyways,i must head to work,so tc all and happy babbling..poink
have a good day crosshair

I am angry!! had to clean out the sewer grates again. there are two at the botttom of a shared driveway. I don
don't think our neighbor is home, she better not be. the grates were clogged with leaves, twigs and muds and the water was up to the curb. the water was muddy and I couldn't see exactly whre the grates were. my boots are not waterproof and the wate4r came up to my ankles. my socks and feet got wet. but I got them cleared off. mostly by hand!!
sending peri some hot potato soup
my bil in not home and my sister is not able to do it so it was left to me. I am done venting and there is no one to listen anyway
ty Aloy
just finished it peri (-:
I made a cauiflower mushroom soup the other day, it was good but I will not make it again
why not?
it was not as pretty as in the picture and was good but not great
and no one else here would eat it
aww.. sounds good though
I coiuld use a drink but alocohol makes me sleepy and gives me a headache :(
*Sends Peri some chamomile tea and sugar cookies*
I will try to locate the recipe for you. may have thrown it out tho
rats.. how about a strawberry wine cooler?
don;t know aloy about the wine cooler
I am pretty sure the recipe game grom prevention magazine, let me check, bbs
suggested that as I know some people who normally don't drink will celebrate with one of the wine coolers.. nice, low alcohol content
Aloy if you find Prevention Magazine on the web. type in cauliflower mushroom soup and it is the very first recipe listed
if it has such a lower alcohol content I might as well drink juice :)
and I am sick of my cat peeing outside of the litterbox!!
thanks, peri! have to sign off now.. grocery store is calling me.. lol.. I know.. maybe the sulfites give you the headache? nice chatting.. see you next time.. tc.. ooh, you are having a day! you need one of those anti hex plaques over your door!
BYE ALOY

yes 237
Woo-Hoo Ursh. Well done. And Happy Friday to all :-)
i only have 49
Hi Soodle.
Hiya Molls :-)
tr7 = tr+vowel+ch4/6
Soodle, I'm a little miffed about those people who won your Euro Millions.
hi, soodle!
Hey Sue. Yup, Molls, I was a bit peeved myself, but fair play to them, they are giving a million to 20 of their friends.
Well Soodle, that is what we will do when our turn comes around. And perhaps have a drink and a laugh at the people who thought us fools to play.
Amen!!
thx, ursh! that gave me the tr7 and also the ch4 (told you I was just starting :-)
first co 5, please?
First co5..not first class but...
Co plus what Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep do for a living
there was a family at a church I used to attend that won $17 million - they funded a lot of charities with it, which I thought was quite impressive
Yak... sorry - wrong co clued. Sorry
ty soodle
don't worry, soodle, I didn't have that one either :-)
: ) I guess Nan needed the second one after all Soodle.
Your welcome Nan. Sue, Molly and/or I are going to win a substantial sum of money, and have the biggest Babble meet of all time! (You are cordially invited!)
ty soodle
btw , I went to high school with Meryl Streep (my claim to fame...)
We may buy a Caribbean island specifically designated for "Babble Retreats".
ch 5/22 please? -- hope it's not another fish!
ch + vowel + do re me ** sol la ti
ty molly -- I was sooooo close!
: )
Oh, Molly. I am SO glad you are giving the Babble meet some thought. I do approve of the Carribean island!
yes, sign me up for the Caribbean too!!
(or the South Pacific, either would be fine :-)
I used the word "retreat" very loosely as these would be less spiritual and more hedonistic events.
Bring on the hedonism!!! We can draw a line down the island, one half for the spiritualists, the other half for the Way-Hey-ers!!
ha 6, please?
My only rule would be "Large Egos Need Not Apply". And I will be on the Way-Hey-ers side for sure.
You and me, Molls, you & me!!
Large ha**** particle collider
Sorry Nan, not with this grid at all. (On a Carribean island, Way-heying....)
Bich is taking classes from Sue.
lol bichon -- still not very scientifically inclined (and never will be)
ha6...If I *** a hammer + *** Howard, Opie Taylor
Bichon... I'm baffled by your clue...
you're not the only one soodle!
d
near Geneva they built a particle accelerator. It's called partly by that name
I clue for the common folk. : )
Aha... the mist clears. Thanks Molls :-)
Large Ha--- Collider
ty molly
Bichon... you are casting pearls before swine!!
have you folks not heard ot that. Where's sue?
<--- Is just a part of the simple folk who pays little attention to things like particle accelerators.
last ro 5/14, please?
Sounds like the part of your pants where your privates are.
ty molly
what a time for me to walk in
agreed, ruru
sorry, was on the phone with a student who wants to drop calculus but stay in physics
I was going to groin but I thought better of it
in case you are wondering, this is not a good idea
now i am going to put the ha word in my physics babblets list - it isn't there yet :-)
Hello Ruru :-)
hi soodle

florida paper + beginning of wealthy
there are 3 florida paper ones

(sneaking in ... florida paper?)
yes -- hanging ch**s
<----Has learned something new today. Florida paper.
Welki, I had to scroll back down to get the Florida paper thing. Hanging ***** from the election.
ahhh
the florida papers were bush - league
Hi
Thank you Obewan Punobe
Hi Welki :-)
:-D
lol molly
hi soodle, everyone (apologies for sneaking in for the clue ... bbl)
c's are done.. thank you nan

<--- Mind floating in the gutter. Thought Florida paper was in reference to, um, rolling papers.
I love that one -- maybe you should change your account name, ruru!
Rofl @ obewan punobe
any clue for the 2nd me4/5 ?
flat top hill
duh...thanks
hi all
off for lunch -- still laughing -- bye everyone :)
I wanted to buy a money order today at my bank and the teller said it would be
hi, peri and bye, nan!
$5.00!!!! I did not buy it.
(((Nan))) see you soon. Hi(((Peri)))
ah, I've been wondering what to do about money when we travel abroad over the holidays - I don't think anybody uses travelers checks any more. Probably I will just use credit cards.
Where are you heading to Sue?
Peri, money order fees are ridiculous. They soak people who have to pay with money orders because they have bank problems.
Israel, soodle, with a stopover in Paris (although we won't have time to leave the airport)
I have plenty of money in the bank and she wanted me to change the type of acct I have and therefore get free money orders. I said no the money would not be staying there lone :)
smart move, peri!
and I have only sent one money order in my life about 5 years ago and I think it cost a dollar but not sure
staying there long even.
Sheesh... Banks, eh? Sue, that sounds like a marvelous trip. When do you go?
and this is a bank that wants to charge me $5 a month to use my debit card!!!!
thinking of changing banks but the rest will probably start doing the same thing
I highly recommend that anyone dealing with a bank that is going with 5 dollars a month to use a debit card shop around for a bank that doesn't. The smaller banks are not doing this.
think I wlll do that
we leave on Dec. 25th (cheap tickets then!) and return on January 5th.
This is going to backfire on the banks. People are going to start writing checks again.
I still write check and pay bills by mail but not many
One of my son's cousins is getting married on December 30th at Kibbutz Yahel, which is in the Negev north of Eilat (in case anyone knows the geography of Israel)
I try to withdraw enough money for the week but usually need to use the debit card anyway and it makes no difference how often you use it it is still $5
you you get to see any of the babblers in Israel
I do most of my bill-paying online, directly with the billing site. This works well for me - I don't have to worry about buying stamps or how long the mail will take
I've never known anyone who traveled on Christmas Day. I will be interested to hear what that is like.
I've talked to michnick, peri, she's the only one I really know in Israel. Who else is there?
I'm hoping it won't be too crowded, Molly!
I have traveled by plane on a holiday, think it was 4th of July and it was fine. also traveled by train on Thanksgiving weekend and it was mobbed
I would think it would be just the opposite Sue.
I almost never use cash any more, and pretty much never use my debit card.
think she is the only one, sue
what do you use to pay for groceries, etc, sue?
well, we'll see, Molly - the tickets were a lot cheaper that day than for several days before and after
I'm just the opposite. I hardly ever use my credit cards.
but pretty much all the airplanes I've flown on lately have been completely full so it may not matter
still 109 to find here
I use credit cards and then pay them off at the end of the month, peri - my main card gives me at least 1% back every month, and up to 5% in certain categories
I went to Isreal once... It was absolutely incredible. We were on holiday inCyprus, so it was a reasonably short hop over to the Holy Land. That was about 25 years ago, but it is still very vivid in my memory.
I also hardly ever carry cash.
I've been there before, soodle, and am very much looking forward to going back! Had an amazing trip both times.
<I hardly ever HAVE cash....
that is an idea sue.
but you have to be careful about paying them off, otherwise the balance can build up (which mine is doing right now, due to the plane tickets...)
and that too, soodle :-)
We put dollars into our daughter's US account, so they have dollars when they come over here. Then they give us euros when we get to France. This way neither of us pays a commission. Just the exchange rate.
LOL
You have to know someone for that to work, though
Thats an excellent plan, Rasta.
hmmm, not sure that would work with my Israeli relatives as they don't travel here much; they are hosting us the whole time though (we had several offers to pick us up at the airport, and were told that we did not need to fly to Eilat - just to Tel Aviv and then we could get a ride with someone to the wedding)
anyway, I am very excited about the trip!!! I will be sure to take lots of pictures, too!
you can order foreign money from your bank in advance - if you're a good customer, there may be only a trivial charge. Otherwise the ATMs are are good as anything.
Its a beautiful country Sue, and I envy you your trip.
em 6 anyone
Em plus 2nd vowel plus fishing pole...
thank you...
is there bait on that pole?
Nah... Just a little worm......
As long as you aren't dancing on the pole Soodle. : P
she could get hooked on it
Chris Rock has a very funny comedy bit about how a father's main duty in life is to "keep his daughter off the pole" : )
It would take a bigger bait than that to hook ole Soodle...........
he can be funny
again, what am I walking into...
Kap.. you obviously have a 'double entendre radar' .......
I just found a ro6, speaking of.
(you're all furiously searching)
hee hee hee.
hmmm...
compound. Dennis Ro****, pluran
ah, perhaps I have found it :-)
right.
......... not just searching... forensically examining..
I remember when he played with the Chicago Bulls - a local menswear store put a portrait of him on their wall facing the expressway (they usuallly had a portrait of some well-known Chicago personality there) - it stopped traffic. After a week they painted it over.
Name that ballplayer who was with Madonna and Cameron Diaz (not simultaneously)
*Passing Soodle a tweezers*
Arod, and how do you know it was not simultaneously?
isn't it a tweezer?
Isn't tweezers plural?
he was, to put it mildly, flamboyant (still on Mr. Ro6)
Don't go there Molly.
a scissor. a tweezer.
Picky, picky, picky. I call them tweezers.
it or them- if it's "them" then it's not "a"
consistency- the hobgoblin of little minds.
Is that the expression?
a tweezer. Tweezers. My brain is so tired I was just trying to remember whether you can use "a" with a plural.
so it is, Kap
probably you would say a pair of tweezers, just like a pair of scissors
then you can have your "a" and your plural too :-)
One tweeze? I could never figure out that thing with scissors. I guess you can't use one scizz- you can only use two of them. So is one side of a scissors a sciss? I told you my brain is tired.
what other words are like this?
pants
what is this ro 6 with scissors
duh. right. a pant.
In some stores when they are being fancy, they say "this is a pant" as in "this is not a legging, it is a pant."
any more words like that?
I don't go to fancy stores. In WalMart they are pants.
I cut with scissors, pluck with tweezers and wear pants. I don't have a scissor, a tweezer or a pair of pant.
Do they have "slack" too? Yee Gods.
They are always taking up the slack.
They don't give me any slack.
Slackers.
English is such a fascinating language.
Panters? The Gray Panters?
try to get an English major to explain why flammable and inflammable mean the same thing :-)
Hello Ma'am. Would you like to purchase a br today? If you would like a bra, you will have to buy the other cup as well. We also have pant and slack. Each leg is 89.99.
Molly, lol.
Love it! I remember playing dolls with a friend when I was little, and she'd say, "this is my CLO", as in singular of clothes.
ha ha ha. When my daughter was little she said she needed her ears cleaned out because she had a wack in her ear.
:)
In the mens department, there are trouser. Trousers will cost you per leg as well.
what if I only want one trouser?
many pairs of scissors- scissorses?
Then you are looking for the infamous trouser snake and I will get canned from this place if I get into that.
And mydaughter announced that she used the last letta. She asked me to buy more lettas. (lettuce).
I am really tired and I have to go to a stupid potluck.
HA!
What are other things you can only use in pairs.
(Molly is pulling out her Allan Sherman records)
Two physicians...
a paradox!
Hello Mudda, hello Fadda.....
Priceless!
oh, it goes way deeper than that, soodle. just wait.
But then again, my youngest says "broughten". "I broughten this with me". She insisted it was a word! I beat her into submission. ;)
Bear with me, Kap...I am a novice..
two favorite mispellings :Bare with me" and "I balled my eyes out."
Which brings me back to eggcorns. A nominal egg. It cost a nominal egg. I once hogged the chog with this stuff, I will try to behave.
Reel it in Kap!
(Breathing.)
last ma 6/46 please?
thank you ruru. Cat got your pun?
I have 56 left but I have to go out.
This grid is NOT my friend. Won't finish. Punkin' head grid!!!
I have a student who has trouble with spelling; once he wrote me a note asking for a favor and ended with "sorry for the incontinent" (he meant inconvenience)
name that former French prime minister.
I am looking for a tailor who does free altercations.
If he was incontinent, he SHOULD apologize! ;)
Kap!
I have a 22 year old daughter who is going thru a breakup of a four year relationship. It is hell.
my son used to have trouble with words that had "s" in the middle when he was very small - "otrits" instead of "ostrich", "disodaur" instead of "dinosaur", etc
My bed is beckoning.... Good night all. Thanks for the entertainment :-)
(we had interesting conversations at our house)
'Night soodle!
night, soodle!
Good night and good luck.
Potluck time.
kap, so sorry to hear about your daughter! Hope she is ok (other than going through hell)
Last ma6 is the dancing chicken that sports teams call their ma6
Whenever she calls she turns into a puddle of tears.
oh, dear :-(
she just has to go through it---no one is exempt.
It's a lot to absorb.
indeed.
Goodnight Kap.
good night again.
ok, as usual, Enable needs to get with the times - since when is ramen not a word? I had some for lunch yesterday!
Night Kap, blessings to your girl.
Totally tried ramen...DENIED!
I cannot tolerate Ramen. I ate way too much of it when I was a broke college kid.
My kids like it when "there's nothing here to eat!!!"
my son says there's nothing to eat when we still have ramen around...
I have one who screwed up Easy Mac because he refused to read all THREE steps. GAHHHHHH!
Maybe they should call it Hard Mac for him :-)
...and it would be!
Easy Mac cracks me up. It's like four bites of food.
does anyone have the last ma 6 please
Clued it earlier Ru...ma6...the dancing chicken that some sports teams call their ma6
thanks a lot molly
: )
re-hi, gang
Re-hi Welki
fireworks here - now time to serve dinner
wtg teach .. 9 left here
yay, wv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and hi, welki!
sue, i loved the photo of the heron (my favorite bird) .. my license plate is HERON :)
oh, cool, welki!
i wanted heron as my nick here, but it was taken
I saw it sitting there on the railing from a distance, and thought, that's no goose! (the lagoon was full of geese)
I walked as close to it as I thought I could get without spooking it and then took the picture
a gift to find one so close .. when i lived back east, i had a nesting pair in the back yard. had a trout stream bordering the property, so there was plenty of food ... they'd come back every year
they must have been wonderful to watch, welki!
Heron is one of my totem animals. Here is one by our lake. http://tinyurl.com/3uqoa4m
yep, they were awesome. (but boyhowdy, what a racket peacocks make! had a few of them, too)
i consider the heron to be my spirit animal, too, molly. i think we might have shared that before :)
gorgeous photograph!
I was walking in the woods once, and heard this amazing sound. A big whoosh and whooping of wings. It was a heron taking off from the trees above me.
Evening all...having a good day>
hi, red! nice to 'see' you :)
Thanks Welki. That one let me get pretty close.
Hi Red.
startling when they take off when you don't know they're around
you too, I am trying to break back into babble.
break back into? hahahaha ... once you're hooked, that shouldn't be too difficult :)
hi, red! Haven't seen you in a while!
unfortunately though I have to go home - will see you all later! (when hopefully I can get half way...)
later, sue!
done! anyone need a clue or two before i go?
I'm good, thanks Welki
I need 61 clues
hi, wild :)
hi
hi sue and wild.
hi red ltns
hey wild!
hi eva!!!
pats the wild kitty happily
mrrrrp
how is the furball?
very funny. took his majesty to get his claws clipped yesterday It was way, way overdue and he was sticking to everything.
velcro kitty
in order to avoid the usual trauma and bloodshed I did a stealth entrapment. Turned the tv up high, tiptoed down to the basement to get the carrier. Hid the carried in the bathroom, came back upstairs, acted like I was sitting down to type and nabbed him. Popped him in the carrier before he knew what hit him.
This morning he wouldn
you know you'll only get away with that once
wouldn't come out of the closet until I left-even for breakfast and brushing,but the great thing about having a brain the size of a walnut is that he is over it by now.
LOL- you're absolutely right.
have been trying to point out to him how much better he feels now, but do you think he listens?
of course not
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/kitty_pet
isn't there a word like esme or esne that means a medieval slave?
what we do for our pets, the planning and schemeing...
Esne
but it won't accept it
and they don't even appreciate it
Add it to the long list of words Babble won't accept.
shirlock that was wonderful! However, I will not take the advice to endure the love pain of scratching the demon spawn's belly no matter how much he tries to lure me into it
i've been suckered a few times
It only took once with Merp.
mine doesn't do the belly thing all that often
hiya.
Merp will put on his most angelic expression-and he has such a wonderful belly. Paws crossed on his chest-the whole 9 yards-until you touch him and then it's somewhat akin, from what I hear, to accidentally putting your arm into a bear trap
lol, eva
my cat's a belly-slut. she will allow anyone to do anything to her belly with nary a scratch. she will, however, lick your hand to death.
god that sounds wonderful feather! a sane cat
Merp's predecessor was like that.
well, she is on prozac, so "sane" is debatable. however, she was like that before the meds.
lol. why the prozac?
behavior issues. pees on everything in sight. abandonment issues and territory issues mostly.
the prozac helps calm them enough to stop the peeing, i guess.
aaah....I guess maybe not being able to play belly-belly isn't the worst thing that could happen.
lol, nope. the pee thing gets reeeeeally old after a while.
Merp, over the past two years, has decided that litter boxes are only for peeing in. Door mats and small rugs are for pooping on. We are very grateful that it isn't the other way round
oh lovely! lol.
we have two boxes. the cats have decided that one is a pee box and the other is a poop box. it's weird.
mine will only do it in one corner of the box
Since he eats only Vermont Raw-ground turkey, his poop is completely odorless and dry so easy to pick up.
that's good
first it was only welcome mats-which made sense to me because they were scratchy and basically the shape and dimensions of a litter box, but now it is anyone's guess re logic. I sometimes worry that he is entering senile dementia
i love making up nonsense words to try. "marf" seems reasonable....
only devoted cat people would spend all of this time discussing their companions bathroom behaviors.
marf seems like a good word to me
absolutely, eva
lol, you're right. if kje were here, she'd yell at me.
there's logic involved with cats?
I miss my kitty
absolutely right wild! What was I thinking. Merp is sitting here going >mmmmph?"
cat logic = whatever is most comfortable for the cat and most irritating to its people
I know. Does a grandchild help?
somewhat but he doesn't live here. I only see him on weekends
cat logic-"Can I get away with it?"
and he probably isn't furry is he?
no
he is soft and warm and a whole lot of fun to hold. and he doesn't scratch or bite when I have him
I forget-why don't you have a cat now? I seem to remember a rather large menagerie, so why not a cat?
and he has a frontal cortex-----
I was trying to not get any more pets and let the numbers dwindle down. I am down to 2 dogs, both of which do not belong to me per se so when I can give them back to the children who do own them I will only have a turtle
lol @ frontal cortex
I read recently that cats have no neocortex at all, while dogs do. Found that very insulting, but it was a good source. Does anyone know if that is true?
one of those dogs is a cat-chasing and cat-eating terrier. not a good idea to bring another cat into the household
what is a neocortex?
Eva, just loved the way you got him into the carrier!!!LOL
nope-doesn't sound like a good idea. Terries are exhausting.
peach-I have to change strategies every time. Usually whatever I do ends up with me slithering under immovable furniture on my belly, lots of flying fur, blood and yowling.
not the cat's blood, of course
no
never the cat's blood
Hi featherbee! :)
yowling on both parts however
hello neil!
Nice to see you here. :)
I have two rescue dogs. One is a hound, energy ball.
of course
When are we Letterbloxing again?
does the hound bay?
yep. feeling so very blah right now, and currently ignoring the fact that it's a half hour past my youngest's bedtime. decided to come play here for a bit.
Nice to hear, peach. My stepmom is involved in cat rescue... she has 2 rescues of her own and fosters cats for a rescue group too.
hmm, not sure. you around later?
Oh yeah, of course... you're 3 hours ahead of us.
Yeah, I should be?
I'll log into AIM so you can IM me?
back later
if i'm feeling semi-conscious, i'll find you for a game. if i forget, you can come find me.
bye eva
Haha. No, you need ME to be semi-conscious, don't you? Which I could very well be by then. :P
lol, yes, that would be to my advantage if you were half out of it!
I'm logged into AOL/AIM now anyway.
So you can IM me when you're ready.
ok
The other is a terrier mix....so laid back. The other morning at about 3:30 and the hound needed to go potty.....came back with a dingle berry...tried grabbing her as she bolted back into the house....she jumped onto the couch and I had picked up paper towels and then the fun began, remember that I'm in a wheel chair and pretty limited with energy but I caught her on the couch and she wanted so badly to bite me but I got strength from somewhere and got her cleand up....heart beating very fast....mine.
oh geeze peach, what a chase!
Yeah, geez. Small dogs are usually pretty fast, too.
oooo, PB for featherbee
really? hmm
ah, darn, had it already.
Whew! I avoided saying that word.
Although you probably get goodies I don't, featherbee. The PB is usualyl well stocked I hear.
"Usually" even.
as long as there's chocolate, i'm happy.
Chocolate is good.

As I used to tell my husband, I can stick extra letters in where they don't belong with the best of them. I will, however, never refer to the letter Z as zed. That is just weird.
why does the fly only fly around my head when i do not have the fly swatter in my hand
yeah my very very favorite babblet is in the grid:za4
Because it is evil
cira

hi all
shoot, everyone is asleep
HELLO??
hi JenM016
hi jen
Hello jen
sorry i was reading email since i seemed to be alone
hi joey, pint
hi joey and pint
good evening all. I am tired and have 93 words to go.
go joey go
i am aiming for nbt
poor, joey, i just got started i have 206 left
evening all
I have spaced completely on this grid. I have 164 to go
jm, were you here when i talked about my arm?
hi dan
oh........ I shouldn't complain I guess
hi dan how is the rambling baby2bit
209 left! but i started about 30 minutes ago
jmcnrick, see my message?
what? no what happened to your arm?
hi everyone! Jen how'd the surgery go?
surgery!?!?!
no, not on my arm!!!
no surgery on my arm
ibd, are you talking about the hysterectomy?
oh dear, am i confused? (more than likely)
oh okay *sits to wait paitiently for story to unfold*
rambling baby2bit is good - drifting off to dreamland, I hope
i have cubital tunnel syndrome, no surgery on my arm, need to protect my arm at night so i don't sleep on it
rambling uses a lot of energy -- that is the plus side
how do you do that jen?
would you believe putting a rolled up washcloth in the crook of my elbow and then wrapping it with an ACE bandage
i bet baby2bit is getting to be quite the handful! you could always set up the puppy pen for her to play in! lol
sounds uncomfortable jen
last night i tried a wrist pad used for the computer in the crook of my arm and i wrapped it to tight
stats for the i please
i think that would keep me awake, jen. doesn't sound comfortable at all.
nah, i slept through the night okay
i thought maybe a cardboard tunnel would work
ic5/6 and ih5/6
getting to sleep was the problem
so you wrap your arm bent?
ty lbd
no straight
fill in the fold of my arm
so how does that keep you from lying on the arm?
i have a gel wrist pad
i can lay on the arm, just can't bend the elbow
understand?
oh that makes sense then
wait! hysterectomy?
i am trying to prevent bending my arm and sleeping on it,
maybe if you made a sleeve out of a pillow and slipped your arm in that it would be more comfortable.
i had a hysterectomy in July
<==slow on the uptake tonight
sounds like a rough year jen
ibd, i don't get it
babble for dummies clue for the ic please
well, the pillow would be stiff enough to keep you from bending it, and yet it would remind you not to sleep on it or bend it.
ic5 is an anagram of a church singing group
ic is the icky goo in bugs and stuff
guts?
hmmm
ic + trigger was roy rogers ***se
The Icky Goo Chorus
i got it!
haha never knew that word before ty
*hums anvil chorus*
any more clues needed?

59 to go here

we are missing a baby here in MO, she was snatched from her crib
oh! how horrifying Jen
they are calling her Baby Lisa
it's been on the national news, Jen. I keep hoping to hear good news about her being found alive and well.
i think everyone is ibd
was it from the hospital? or home?
she is a 11 month old snatched from home
I hope she is found too. I have concerns about the parents story though.
yes molly, everyone does, especially the mother
welp, i'm off to my pillows. good luck with the grid. see you all tomorrow!
the mother had failed the lie detector test
that happened recently here in BC, a bit older but was returned unharmed and the snatcher was found
and she was found in a convenience store hours earlier
Night LBD
bye ibd
bye lbd
stats for the third and fourth e please
The fact that the parents cell phones are supposedly "stolen" bugs me.
stolen with the baby?
possible jm
is that a clue jen??
The story is, the father came home, all the lights were on, the baby was gone and the cell phones were stolen. The baby was last seen in shorts and a top, although she was supposedly put to bed before 10 PM.
i can't believe the mother didn't hear anything like noise during the night
but the mother was there?
yes jm, the mother was asleep along with 2 young boys
Yes, the mother was there. Something is very not right with this story.
the front door unlocked
mother put the baby to bed in shorts and a top?
the window in the baby's room opened
the boys were other children?
of the parents i mean
you can go to www.kansascity.com or kmbc.com to get the story jm
yes jm
or you can go to CNN site
the boys were the other children age 4 and 6 i believe
well i give up on the grid and am going to bed praying that the baby is okay
Night JMC, bundle up.
night jm
molly, where are you?
I live in Maryland Jen.
i see
Why?
i just wanted to know how far the news got, i have a friend in TX who had not heard about the kidnapping
It's all over the national news. Maybe your friend doesn't follow stories on CNN or the other internet news sites.
yeah, i know
i just wonder how long it is going to stay in the news
We have a missing 11 year old in my area with similar bad circumstances. The mother was found dead and no one has seen the boy in two weeks.
you heard a private investigator is involed now and he offered $100,000 reward for information or the baby
No, I didn't read about that. Interesting.
and he has a psychiatrist on him team now?
his team
i found an 8 letter word!
Hopefully, the truth will all come out eventually. It's always sad when it doesn't, as in the Jonbenet Ramsey case.
agree, molly
we still have a missing teen since 2008 i believe, no sign of her
and not a runaway
have you found the 8 letter tree molly?
Yep, I'm done. And I'm off to watch a movie. Night Jen. Night lurkers.
okay, have fun
