ty cos! ick on the sausages....
sausage sandwiches are in there.... for sure.
flosey?
sausage and cabbage. yum
yes jilli?
cabbage?? *vomit* (sorry, brought up on a diet of grossness with cabbage)
I like raw cabbage, but cooked cabbage makes me gag
saurekraut is disgusting! and that is all I could smell for days on end
remember the plane crash in Richmond Saturday? The co-pilot was granddaughter's bf's close pal -- badly burned and maybe paraplegic -- in an induced coma :-(
LOL.. that's HeWho's fave dinner: Kielbasa and cabbage
love raw chinese cabbage salad
me, too, mrp
I like cabbage. very little I don't like.
what, no bubbles and squeak?
need an re and the ei 7
have the ei 5 and 6 can't figure out a 7 that fits in the middle
what's bubbles and squeak
oh jilli! plane crash victims are just so badly affected, all round... so sorry
haven't had bubble and squeak for ages.
i can make you bubble and squeak ruuster
ei 7 is plural of the ei5.
another way to plural it
oh that's terrible about the crash!
mrp -- the pilot died in hospital -- lovely young man with an 18-month old daughter.
have re 7 strong odor related, but still can't find the other re
oh jilli, how horrible
ty cos - now for the missing re
left over veges from night before, mixed in with egg (like an omlette) and fried like a pattie.
all I can think of for bubbles and squeak is champagne and sex
re7 --- re + a 4/5 word... think feet
fix a shoe volley
granddaughter and bf are in shock
points dart to the PB
ty cos and dart got it right off!
indeed, they must be
wtg :)
yep...you got me :(
Plane crashes are scary
lol ruuster! i see that working too
ty dart -- 7's done
oh ru.. it's left over potato and cabbage.
8
wtg nan
shock is hard... the bf pal dying is very difficult.
7's done!!
and other bits
fried and browned
I like Champagne and sex better than potato and cabbage
106/106
^5 dee
oh m9, you make that sound so 'delicious'... not!
how orderly cos
and here I was, offering ruuster bubble and squeak!
^ 5 nan!
but it IS!
I have such a good easy sausage recipe -- casserole dish, put in 1 cup raw rice, 1 large can diced tomatoes, 3 sticks celery cut into 1" pieces, top with 1 lb sausages, bake at 350 for 90 minutes (longer if you use brown rice).
no it ISN'T!
Is too!
:P
ruru likes chanpagne and sex better than anything, I think.
shrek isn't a word
:B
buck teeth?
*champagne
yep, my geeky dork teeth! :B
or a rabbit maybe? bubbles and squeak sounds like the names of rabbits. Or gerbils..
it's my bubbly personality jilli
hello all - i missed the stats for the right E - please repeat
ei 5/7/6
it's just singular bubble
tx cos
sounds like you're all sl7!!
i wish m9!
but my icon is!
yeah.. but that's not as good a name for a rabbit :)
george jefferson's favorite word is accepted here
we had a rabbit called Killer. painted a red cross on it's head to warn off small animals and children
no idea what thatis/was, cos
what a black person calls a white person as a slur
LOL didn't know small animals could read :)
everyone, including animals, can recognise the lord's cross!
s's done
gotit cos -- ty
:)
i have entered reserve at least 5 times
the red cross was done as a way of trying to Linda Blair the rabbit, but it didn't work.
even sheep mr p?
it's amazing how mean rabbits can get
especially if you jack them around dee
the sheep that get the red cross are the killers
sounds like dee had a hare-raising experience
lol ru
a's done -- it's so nice to have a grid with real words! I might even be able to do this one without the list!
let's not split hares over rabbits now!
oh oh -- punobe is back
im liking this grid too

Hi Sprite!!
hiya dizzie! ;)
how are you today?
pretty good today, pain aint too bad, what about you?
same :) Slept well, that always helps. Very much enjoying this grid too!
not too bad a grid. 41 left
oh wow! I still have 75 left. But having fun.
39, just got an ik 4 and 5
wtg dizzie!
trying to work out 6 more Ks...lol
hehehe if there are Ks, I do them first. So if you want clues, let me know.
they are all 4 or 5, maybe that will help
Hello Sprite. So tell me, if you are sick to your stomach of it, why you had to drag what was a private email conversation into the chog? Bit hypocritical of you, yes? Maybe you should take your good friend MollyL's advice, and save your bitching and moaning for email? You really are living in some kind of fantasy land if you think you were expected to "rejoice" in that information anyway. What a warped point of view you have. But then, I guess you'd have to be pretty warped to complain about other people complaining about Babblers. No wonder you're known as "spite" in certain circles. *rollseyes* And as far as Haz not trying to control what people talk about in chat, or never having a bad word to say about anyone? Just because none of you have seen it doesn't mean it never happened. I've seen plenty of vicious nastiness from her directed at people I know. And that nonsense about how she "withdraws in dignity" from conflict? I've seen her cruelly bait people into conflict with her. Nothing dignified about that. And if she'd had sufficient dignity to refrain from copying and pasting stuff that was said about her in the chog in her player profile - stuff she roundly deserves - none of this drama would have unfolded. I would suggest she is the one who needs to be told to take that whining to email, and keep it out of her profile. **************** Saturday, October 29 4:20 am sprite: someone sent me that piece of chat, expecting me to rejoice in it. Am still sick in the stomach when I think of that. 4:21 am sprite: I think in chat it is extremely important to stay respectful and to realise you don't 'see' the face and don't 'hear' the voice. 4:22 am carleekat: i just try ( not aways succeed) to shut up where applicable 4:23 am dizgrannie: I 'hear' what you are saying Sprite...maybe we need a tongue in cheek smiley thingo..LOL 4:23 am sprite: yeah that is of5 a good way to go. 4:24 am sprite: we do, dizgrannie, we do! And especially people with Haz's kind of humour :D That british thing does not always translate to chat, alas. 4:25 am MollyL: Name calling in chat is not acceptable. I don't care whether you "like" a person or not. And there was a whole lot of the pot calling the kettle black in that "slam session". 4:25 am sprite: *seconds Molly wholeheartedly* 4:25 am marigold: ol 4:25 am dizgrannie: LOL Sprite, thats why I don't say much, cos our Aussie humour is very dry and others take offense 4:26 am carleekat: like i said... i also saw what instigated that outburst... and it was not nice either... 4:26 am sprite: oh what a shame, dizgrannie, because I LUV aussie humour! I game with a couple of aussies and they sometimes make me almost pee my pants. 4:26 am carleekat: nor was it appropriate... and i agree...luv aussie humour 4:27 am sprite: carlee, no, not nice, but direct. And I think it is true that some subjects have been proven very divisive in babble. 4:27 am MollyL: Am I missing something from the archive of that day? Has something been deleted? Because I read the whole thing and I don't see anything that merited what was said about Haz. 4:27 am carleekat: it was a day or so before molls 4:27 am carleekat: around flip i believe 4:27 am carleekat: and yes i think some stuff has been deleted if i recall 4:28 am dizgrannie: thanx guys, but sometimes we have to explain and it sorta takes the humour out of it (if you know what I mean) 4:28 am sprite: lol yes diz. Same with my own humour. Sometimes it just doesn't 'play'. 4:29 am Kallia: oh I'm a great one for foot in mouth... 4:29 am Kallia: morning all 4:29 am carleekat: but i might be wrong... 4:29 am sprite: tongue in cheek and foot in mouth... small wonder babblers are so flexible. Hi Kallia. 4:29 am Kallia: why I don't chat much :) 4:30 am carleekat: i'm not here often now... 4:30 am MollyL: All I can say is that if people want to bitch and moan about people they should do it in email or private correspondence and leave it out of chat. ************ I have to say I haven't seen this much sanctimonious, spiteful, passive/aggressive backstabbing here since NancyBoy died. Take your own advice please, "ladies" (and I use that term very loosely here) and keep your "bitching and moaning" and your own "slam sessions" about other Babblers out of the chog. Hypocrites. *thumbs down*
Fauxmage, I am totally not interested in your point of view. Go play somewhere else if you think we are hypocritical
speaking of which... hypocritical is also your blurb just now combined with your profile text ""Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~ Philo". But that aside. Leave me in peace, I don't know you and really want to keep it that way.
dizzie, did you find the related E words to your recent i words too?
yea thanx spRite, had them earlier...K's Komplete
Kway to Kgo!
shyte, just realised I still need 10 6's
it's kind of funny to have a grid of 200+ words with not a single 8.
true, I saw 212 and thought OMG then saw the stats
lots of 'person(s) who' for 6s, but I guess you will have most of them already. I don't have any really uncommon 6s yet.
lol yeah, same for me, I looked at the stats, blinked, then looked again.
55... slowing down now!
28 and nearly hopeless
nona
derr that was my last n
Okay Babblers. I usually don't say much any more in the chog. I feel I have to speak up...
go right ahead gramma
Oinker isn't a word? Really? If oinker isn't a word then my whole life has been a lie! I can't take it anymore
you're right Gramma, what else does one call a pig...lol
but if one uses a D at the end.....
Oh, I bet you thought I was going to comment on the hideous and embarassing dialogue. ;)
Oops (as she ducks her head in shame) didn't see the past tense or I wouldn't have drawn attention to it.
wouldn't worry me if you did...don't really care...but if you want to contribute...go right ahead...lol
No thank you. I've seen this sort of upheaval before and it actually upsets me. So I'll keep my nose to the gridstone.
fair enough, I mostly ignore it..all cyber b/s to me. It is real life one has to worry about.
I come he** not to
If hokie isn't a word, how can you do the hokie pokie and what's it all about?
LOL Gramma, my g/kids know not to worry me too much when I am playing Babble. Eldest (11) loves playing, and now we have 2nd puter hooked up, she made her own ID etc and plays when she's here
You're very lucky they're close enough to know not to bug you.
sorry, I got sidetracked! Hi gramma, yeah, shocking isn't it!
I think it was more of a monologue, actually, gramma.
I only have 2. I see them every week. I used to keep Ellie Sunday and Monday for what became affectionately known as Grammy Day. She's in school full time now, so I have the wee one, Madeleine. Instead of grammy day it's Maddie Day.
LOL Gramma, they sometimes sit here and watch, youngest 2 often find 3 letter words that help me to bigger words. They think its great.
hi sprite 8)
it must be wonderful to have grandchildren. I kind of hope I will some day.
It's ok. (she says with a smile)
I have 5 but 2 are in another State, but we talk often on Skype....the other 3 are close by and for now I have them early morning till school as their mum has a new job.
I would Love that.
Sprite, just wait and you'll soon find out the wonders and errr regrets of g/kids.
*grin* I bet! Although you can never predict what your children will do, I have hopes for my daughter... she is crazy about children and I would be really surprised if at some point in time she wouldn't try to have them.
I have eldest g/dtr nearly every w/end as a break from her little bro who is ADDHD/OCC.
Sprite,how old is your dtr?
that is so good... I can imagine her needing time and attention alone.
Have her open a day care. She could love them and get rich instead of drained. ( Do I sound bitter?)
my daughter is 13 now. She is NOT allowed to think about kids of her own for a long time, lol.
LOL Sprite, we should hook your dtr and my g/dtr up as penpals
aw gramma *hug* Yeah, a little bitter. But not without cause, I bet.
I love my family. I love my family. I love my family. I love my family. I love my family....
oh that would be great, dizzie. I am sure my daughter would love that.
Gramma, dunno what to make of your comment at 3:51???????
how about: I love my family. Even when I do not love their attitude/actions, I love their persons. ;)
It was a sick attempt at humor.
I really do love them and I know they love me.
humour is a grand thing. Even black humour. It helps us relativate, grin.
is that even english, I wonder now? Relativate? See things in perspective, I meant.
I'm going to get a little coffee and regroup. I told you in the beginning, I don't chat much anymore. Now you know why. ( misunderstood, she slinks off with her head hanging low )
aw gramma, please come back to chat whenever you want. I like your humour.
Relativate! I love it. I wrote it down to use or abuse as the case may be. BRB
*grins*
hey Gramma...I always liked the song from Monty Python...ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.....we all have ups and downs and that song seems to spring to mind for me
fee fee... feefee, feefee, feefee!
lol
I so remember those feet of the people on the crosses... tapping in time to the music.
okies Sprite, if we want these kiddos to hook up as penpals, how'd we go about sending email addies etc, without the whole world knowing?
LOL Sprite, hubby found the video in a 2nd hand shop and recorded it on DVD for me.....PERFECT!
my email addy is in my profile. bin _ there at planet . nl Just leave out all the spaces. If you drop me a line and your g/d addy, I will give it to my daughter. Is that ok?
yep will do
they are gonna have a ball, lol, I just know it.
is that at or @...presummingly @
yes it is @. bin_there@planet.nl There you go, just copy. I don't expect many bots to scan our chat here, grin.
already sent via my email addie...put Babble in topic line
wonderful, will check right away
whats the time difference? its 8:11pm, 31st Oct here
it is 10.14 am here now, same date
your email got through fine, and I will send along the addy. What is your g/d's age?
she is 11 going on 31...lol
roflollllll oh priceless.
is there a place where one can look up time differences? eg to find the best time to skpe or whatever if they want to?
*skYpe
you are 10 hours ahead of us... will tell her that too. Though with email things are never a problem.
I bet there is. Will google, let's see.
If you can say "I boated over to New York last night." Why couldn't you have taken your ark? I arked over instead. More biblically speaking.
GOOD MORNING AND ALMOST hAPPY hALLOWEEN!
whoops, didn't mean to shout
ROFL @ Gramma...true ( I tried thatword)
Back @cha
Happy Halloween to everyone!!!!!!
gramma, I think it might even be a sin that it is not valid!
hiya rubyfoo :)
hey movie my man!
smirk
I tried it too. Twice, in case it bounced because of a typo.
we can create our own dictionary
I'll never have grandchildren -- DIL doesn't want kids and I only have one son :( May I borrow a couple?
I have in my head
wouldn't that be fun. We'd have to check all the babble chogs for all the brilliant words we invented.
I put in all kinds of words I know are real. (To me anyway)
Ruby you can have my 9yr old g/son
mine are still ghosts of baby future, sorry ruby!
he's ADDHD/OCC and a little terror but fantastic for anyone but his Mum
it is too bad I never had a daughter; after all, A daughter is your daughter all of hr life, your son is your son, until he takes a wife!
oh so do I, gramma! I am so happy Babble does not register all the not-valid tries. I think I type it 3x as much words as the grid size demands. Or more.
Back to basics now. Bottom left E for nbt. Please?
err bottom left as in bottom right?
Of course. Your other left.
I'm seeing 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' for Halloween!!!!!
DOH!
eo 6 and eo 4
Van Dijk's left, we call that here. My husband always mixes them up, lol. For the bottom E, it is 3x ei words.
at midnight, of course! what costume are you wearing, moviem
eo 4, it takes years
they all come from the middle E, the eo words, lol. For the bottom, it is EI
my eo years came from the middle E
oopsie, can never remember
it did not, lolll.
it is easy to remember, but hard to spot for me. Words always come from the first tile they can be made from, going left to right, top to bottom.
bottom E: ei5/18, ei7/44, ei6/30, all related.
Well they're not related to me. How may possibilities can there be?
Aha!
greek words, actually. Think of the little picture next to our names and be creative with it ;)
Got 'em. ty
yvw.
dizzie, how about this site: http://worldtimezone.net/
O thought that was avatar.....lol
hehehe :) Yes, that is true. An avatar is a picture you pick out to represent you on the web (one of the meanings of the word anyway). The word I meant is more general. Can be any small pic.
just kidding
sorry... school teacher genes. I apologise for lecturing :)
this is a fun grid
if it only had a t, there would be a million words!
I agree! Last bit seems a bit slow, but with me chatting, mailing and googling, that is probably to be expected.
the queen of multi-tasking
indeed, ruby :)
*smug* now that you mention it... I AM multitasking! And it isn't driving me crazy and things turn out pretty ok... it is a milestone, ruby ;)
I is still here, Sprite, thanx, looked up that sight.
I have a large lizard who has taken up residence in my studio
He is so beautiful and comes inside in the mornings
If I only had a brain
glad you are still here :) It has the zones and the times. But I wish I could find an easier overview.
he sleeps under the door jamb
oh ruby! Can you make a picture? Lizards are nice.
if only I had a heart....
gramma, I have one and believe me, the darn things are overrated.
sing it, girls
ah, same on that one, ruby ;)
Gramma..Brain??? Wizard of Oz...LOL
we had beautiful green ones with red throoats in Miami. These are brown and black and a little bit blue, less pretty but I love them anyway
If I had a hammer...
I'd hammer her in the morning
and you were a carpenter...
right!
and I was a lady
I'd be a nail
evening all :)
{{mrp}}
hody!
i'd be a crooked bookshelf lol
hammer, nail and lump of wood, I'll build a dols house.
I once read a quote in dutch, that translates as: "If your only tool is a hammer, you are inclined to view every problem you encounter as a nail."
*dolls
hello mrP
lol, in other words belt it over the head
that's a great quote, sprite, and probably sounds wonderful in dutch
Er um, we were just having a very intelligent conversation. Don't look back. I'm sure it's over your head
nah it just sounds dutch, lol. But I agree, it is a great thought.
rubber hammer = great sleeping aid for kids and grownups alike
hi girls
Hi MrP hows the errr halloween party...or shouldn't I ask...LOL
it is over diz. kids being mean and all... totally halloween!!
grab a hammer and think they are nails...lol
i tried to convince the darling daughter not to go up to Hillbillie Avenue, but she insisted!!
rubyfoo, we don't have lizards here I think, it is too cold. Though not as spectacular, we do have frogs in the garden. Tiny ones in spring, and now they are so big!
OMG what happened
LOL diz!
the Hillbillies teased her... gave her a hard time. She took offence and the rest is history. What do you expect from 14-15 year old boys??
Oh shyte!!
typically, they wanted her attention. idiot boys
we also have loads of sparrows. Common birdies, but they are so much fun. Cheeky, playful and so cute.
i can't spend my time critisizing the bringing up of other people's nasty, bad children, but it is free to look upon those that do with righteous condemnation! :))
I cannot find the en5 for the life of me. Please, can I get a clue?

morning all.

Morning! Hi scouser
Hello Hydra and debjed. I just want that one word for fireworks.
I've only just begun. Only got 41 ones so far.
E & mobile phone make N***a
Love that story from your dad, lind!
thanks hydra! (0:
morning, all!
Japanese mushrooms aaaaargh ! thank you Lind
yvw scouser (0:
I guess you'll be off now, scouser. Congrats on the fireworks! I must get back to my editing.
PB for you Hydra but I wont put mushrooms in there.
PB? Why? What have I done?
on4/4 ! I must do tunnel work now. Bless.
Don't know what you mean. I've searched the chog but can't find any word I've given away. Oh dear.
41 on4/4 so far .....
6:13, scouser
hydra, that is :-P
Oh! I hadn't even got that. Told you I'd only just started. Now I must go and hang my head in shame!
obviously I am not awake yet. Time to do some exercise, maybe that will get the blood flowing to my brain.
A minor infringement I think. Just a single piece of toast. No shame in PB, just nice food instead.
any clues for the bottom right E?
Hello uusue2 you have most interesting profile. I studied physics and some astrophysics (as distinct from astronomy) with the Open University as part of my degree. I still object to the acceptance of 'emfs' : we always had to say it as the letters in sequence not as a word.
debjeb : I think it was the word for long ages without an a at start
ei5.18, ei7, ei6...ei & another brand of camera - ***ica
Once we get fireworks we cant tell which word was which: in this case there are two ways to get that word
thanks lynx
Bye all
thank you lynxxx and bye scouser
I just found out if I go to another screen and back the fireworks disappear and I get the counting-grid back again. Must remember that.
hi scouser, glad you like my profile! and I agree with you about the emfs!
It sounds more like a word to go with harrumph. Perhaps physicists use it instead for disgust?
well, I never have. Interestingly we only use the acronym now when teaching students, as the full name tends to confuse them (it's not a force)
and now I must get ready for my day - be back later!
Ah that's a good point... I have to go now but hope we can chat again some time.

River, I hope you have a wood burning fireplace

so what did we do whilst the power was out river
mom, ho4/9 is right
thanks Grannyrose, will work on it
it's a slang word for a white person

I had to go and google Anderson Cooper giggle fit. I hadn't seen it.
hi, mom!
But I did see one night where he made fun of the french guy using peanuts.
we got 23 inches and just got power back this morning - was out 18 hours
still over 200,000 people without power in this state - we were lucky to get ours back
thanks goodness or I wouldnt be in work today - no power means no shower - no work

Hey Car
Boo! Happy Halloween Molly!
hi, car, molly, sue, grant, movieman!
Are your boys excited about Halloween Car?
Hiya sue!!!!!
Happy Halloween uusue!
Dylan...yes. Zack...hell no.
Aw, has someone gotten "too old for Halloween"?
No. He is only 8. but he is TERRIFIED of Halloween : (
thanks, car! I sent Frank out to buy candy last night, and I see that some of the bags have been opened - I suspect my son had a bit of a treat last night!
oh, bummer, car!
We had another lovely morning of fighting because he did not want to go to school and hear about everyone's scary costumes, decorations, etc.
I had to call the teacher and ask her to keep it to a minimum....I feel for him but c'mon!
what about it bothers him, car - he's just scared of all the images?
Twice he was frightened while out trick or treating. I get it. He doesn't like it. But it is out of proportion.
My son was afraid of masks for a long time, and still doesn't like clowns (he's 21!) - it's funny what can set them off!
car. how old is he?
Yes...but if people talk about masks...does he fall apart?
He is 8...almost 9...and Happy Halloweeen Annie!
HH to you too, car. Oh, he is so young, maybe someone frightened him. I can understand his being so afraid. Halloween is scary.
ok, off to work - giving my classes an exam today *evil professor grin*
What is it with clown fear? I have never gotten that.
He did get really frightened twice. The first time was out T&T-ing and a guy was dressed up sitting on his porch. All the kids thought it was a dummy. But of all the kids...he reached out and grabbed poor Zach.
car, was he ever bullied by bigger boys? happened to my son and his buddies one year
Last year, we were T&T-ing and there were some older kids that had a really scary setup. We were doing our best to avoid it, when a junior high age kid jumped out from a bush and tried to grab him and drag him over to the house.
car. THAT did it! I dont blame the poor kid...I would be afraid of Halloween too.
next house they went to were very understanding and took them in for a bit
I totally get why he is frightened and does not want to go T&T-ing, but it is morning, the sun is shining, no one is in costume at school...he just is afraid of the other kids talking about their costumes, decorations, etc.
car. I can understand it...he is projecting about what is to come at night.
and good morning everyone

Annie did you get much snow in the city?
No, not really. It was all gone by the next day but the winds were fierce.
River, did you lose power?
we did saturday night until early this morning - and got 23 inches of snow
Wow! That is serious snow. Glad you have power now.
I couldnt believe it when I got up yesterday morning - it was a winter wonderland out there
It must have been beautiful. I love fresh snow.
it was that wet heavy stuff that sticks to the trees so with the sun coming through it was very beautiful
Did it look as if icicles were hanging from the trees?
not really - puffs of snow hanging from the trees glistening
and it was gusty so it was blowing off all morning
Beautiful.
14 K's ugh...

howdy sue:))glad you like my new woof!
i usually put a fesh one in every 6months orso
I do indeed!
I do indeed!
fresh
so one of my students showed up 40 minutes late for a 50-minute class and was very surprised to see that we were having a test
(which has been in the syllabus since day 1)
*sigh*
sounds like he doesnot caretolearn iand is wasting his time and i amsure his parents money
if this is university..a LOT of his parentsmoney!
African-American student; I hate to see one of them be so irresponsible
i do notcare if he is pink with purpledots..if he does not wish to learn he is taking a spacefrom someone whodoes
indeed (especially as we had to turn down a few last-minute registrants at the beginning of the semester)
our family was very poorback in the day,and due tocurcumstances,money and jobs and timing ,we could send exactly one of us 3 children to university. my brother knew the cost and sacrifice neededto puthimin that chair in that classroom and he did notwaste it
I wish some of my students understood what their education really costs...
blood,sweat and tears,and someone else slogging away 12 hours a day at a dairy in thiscaselol
anyway, good to see you, crossy! Must get back to work (would't want to waste my education :-P)
funny thing is,as itturns out his degree was useless,the girlhe met and married atmcmasterhad a degree in nursing and she could make3times hisearning potential,sohe becamethe house hubby

I have 15 minutes to play before the promised children arrive
Oooh! scary black bird in the grid! Perfect for halloween!
nobody much does anything here except decorate graves
promised children?!?!? did you order them?
but our housekeeper has 3 little boys and since she knows I'm stocked up and have ghosts and bats in the windows, she's bringing them all over for treats
Oh cute!!!!
I usually carve a pumpkin and put a candle in but no kids show up....so then, of course, I eat all the Snickers bars myself
Oh! The sacrifices we make!
I would have been a great grannie :(

I don't understand why enable accepts animal noises but is very selective about which forms, e.g. oi** etc and ho** etc.
and cat sounds spelled about 12 different ways...
(((RUBY)))
here dog noises are spelled ouaf
{{crossy}}
Enable is not to question why. Enable is to do or die.
Maybe not die, actually.
Just get very frustrated.
Hi Crossy!
ouaf, ouaf!
As am we, Kaplan.
arf! arf!
oh, crap, forgot I have to meet with my lab TAs. bbl.
woof! woof!
we is, too
Oy. Cat just knocked over the monitor. That scared her!
But it doesn't take human laughing noises...hehe or Heehe!

I thought you had done that on purpose!

before you gocar....
but I am listless.
and now I really am off too.
itistime....
work? woof woof

I think that IS what the word listless is supposed to mean. Literally without a list.
forcrossys tidbit of the day!!
Woodie, we have this nice place called the penalty box...
During the year 1881, three men served as President of the United States: Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield and Chester A. Arthur
giving woody my leftover snickers etc
Oooh! Good tidbit before my trip! Thank you Crossy!@
feeling tired? Listless?
Do you poop out at parties?
are you unpopular?
That should be "run down, lisless"
iam great at parties,,ipoop out while doing work,driving,climbing stairs etc lol
you know..that quick nap on the escalator....
for nbt, pls, bottom n
The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle. Vitameatavegamin. Yes, Vitameatavegamin contains Vitamins Meat Vegetables and Minerals. Yes, with Vitameatavegamin, you can spoon your way to health. All you do is take a great big tablespoonful after every meal. Mmmmmmm..... It's so tasty, too! Tastes just like candy! So why don't you join all the thousands of happy peppy people and get a great big bottle of Vitameatavegamin tomorrow! That's Vita-meata-vegamin! (wink)
I used to be great at parties, but can't remember.....
The answer to all your problems is in this bittle lottle.
lol
ill take3tbs of ladulum please
Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?
Kap channels Lucy. :-) )
that's a Jackie Gleason Show thing, non? but I think it was vitaminavegamin
oh, right, but I was very little....lol
horry forthe poppy! lol
Ruby- fie! Lucy all the way!
bad me!
lol. Wonder how that Lucy episode would translate in French?
too funny to think about judi
French humor is incomprehensible anyway
if you don't have a moustache and wear a dress, they don't find it funny
The French HAVE humor? Since when? Or rather, since Jerry Lewis?
OMG
uh oh, better get ready for the kiddies
see you later
See ya, Ruby!
yes..i find our french have great humour,but only at the expenseofthe restofuswho cannot speakthe warpedversion of french they use
can't understand a word of quebecois!
when we travel east, we like to get tothe quebec border mid-day.then we have a sleep get up at 10 pm and drive right through till dawn and try not tostop
but then, of course, there's poutine! what could be funnier than that?
French Canadian humor is much different that French humor. There are at least five really funny Canadians. Possibly six. :-p
crossy does not likesoggy french frieswith cheese and gravy
now judi..there aremore than that..wehave to be to put up with the us
Do you remember "liberty fries?"" People took that seriously...
now do notbomb meforsaying that please!! i amsorry..nobombs!
So true.
I believe that was "Freedom Fries", Kap. You are forgiven.
Time to split. Gotta go pick up my repaired diamond ring. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*
itis kind of like having a big brother who is handcuffed to you..and he isabully..and likesto give you wedgies all the time

wow.. I hurt myself on the he 7/8 combo
he 6/7 combo I mean
I don't have that yet, Ruru.
Hi ruru.
gm neil. .. hi everyone
I just found a twisty pair, he6 and 7
Sorry about the blood... I'll try not to drip any on you ruru.
you look a little like Kadhafy..
Haha, ru.
Yeah, I've probably looked better.
uh yeah
Did you go to any Halloween parties?
me.. no.. life is scary enough
did you?.. I'm guess yes by the costume
Haha, ru. Yes, that was taken at our party on Saturday night. I wanted to go as something truly scary this year... but I couldn't figure out how to make a Michele Bachmann costume.
[that would've frightened more people]
I think Newt Gingrich in Drag would have scared more people
Oops, I am sorry I said Hi and then abruptly left, hello again babblers.
Uhhh yeah. You could have a point there ru.
I am back from filling my gas tank. Hi Red!
back for the r's
done with the r's
off to school

Hello, is Crossy still here?
Hi Scrabbs, how is your weather?
guess not, will try later
Very nice here--sunny and in 50's. Same for next 2 days. We got snow last Thursday but not over the weekend.
Hi Flosey. Crossy was going to buy paint.
NBT finally.
Oh Nice, it is chillyhere but the sun finally came out, very wet morning.
Did your New England sis get lots of snow?
75 here today..
Not much she is right on the coast, but my parents got loads in Pennsylvania, they also just got the new roof totally on 2 days before!
Nice, Ru.
currently 68 in Florida. going to be 78 they say.
I am stuck with 82 to go.
re- words to the rescue!

Hi flosey... if still here.
53 to go. My eyes need a break. BBS.
Good Afternoon, Everybody. How are you all doing today?
Hi Nef and good afternoon to you. [still morning here]
scarey picture, neil! (Your brother did a nice job on the make up!
Yep, I wanted to go as something terrifying this year, Nef. But I couldn't figure out how to make a Michele Bachmann costume.
LOL, neil!!! She'd be one scarey trick-or-treater indeed
Yes. But I would've scared myself too badly any time I caught sight of myself in a mirror, like that. So just couldn't do it.
from the sound of it; she may not be in the running too much longer though (with various staff members all quitting, etc.)
NBT, finally
Oh, NBS also (missed that

I don't see that one either Molly.... I think she was mistaken.

Hey Diane.

Sounds like fun Ivesy.
off to warm up my tea then back to give clues for a bit --- putting off that dreaded 4 letter word (wo 4/11) that is attached to the house.
we had pirates, princesses, bumblebee, vampires, cowboys and a lion lol
then we played the muumy game. boys and girls wrapped one of each in toilet paper.. what a mess.
I love the "cute" costumes of Hallowe'en..... not much into the gruesome ones and some of them are pretty AWFUL !!
one of my granddaughters made those "witch finger" cookies, and if I'd been there, I'm sure I couldn't have eaten one !
I think "sheesh" is a word. so there. :)

Anybody still here?
*waving to lurkers*
hi Scrabs; I'm still around but trying to do phone stuff too
Hi Nef. I have 48 to find and have Babble Blindness.
slow work day; or are you off?
Waiting for next patient. Oh, I see that they just arrived 15 min late. I am at the Indian Reservation and there are no-shows and late arrivals.
I have 144 left; I've been on the phone for over 45 minutes and haven't been working on Babble
Hi Scrabbs and Nef
It's been easy so far. No odd words.
Hi Jellen
I understand; schedules aren't always follwed by some ethnic groups
hi Jellen
I have a medical question...
Hi Jellen, cute icon : )
Thanks, Molly!
Of course. Dr Scrabbler is here. 5 cents for a consultation.
UTI. Burning. Help!
Oh, not 5 cents a word...
Drink lots of fluids, pee a lot, and you need a urine culture done. Did you call your doc?
OUCH! Did you see a doctor yet? Push (drink) lots of fluidsYou need a culture first before treating
Yes, I've called. Gone through a cipro series.
And they cultured it first?
So, no truth to the idea that cranberry juice helps with that?
You need another culture--you may have a resistant organism if you have been on antibiotics recently.
Yes, Nef
You have to drink a LOT of cranberry juice to acidify the urine, and that is a lot of sugar.
pyridium helps with the burning (uri stat is the OTC name); but a culture should be done before you take it
BRB, need to see kid.
there are also cranberry pills that can change the urine pH
Ah, pirydiuum. I remember those days.
And the really important thing is the drinking of liquids (esp. water) -- at least 2 quarts!
brb...
pyridium will turn your urine bright neon orange
Oh that must be what my friend takes. She's told me about the bright orange pee. How fun! : )
UTIs- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiii!
whew! back.the three paint samples are on the wall drying.got the accent area rug on sale that willunder the new queen sizemission bed being delivered next week crazy thread count sheets from egypt have been bought and tucked away full duvet and sheet set is bought and everything is folded away in great-great grandmothers old cedar chestto get that nice smell..crossy be tired...
(It stains your undies if you have incontinence -aka: you leak; so wear a pad)
nice, crossy! :-)
Please, there are gentlemen present.
Where?
o
...
:Pto youmolly
back
wb jellen
I know, Kap; crossy sometimes appears in the middle of some "interesting" discussions; but often with UTI's there is a problem with that; and knowing about the staining will help
Bright orange, huh? Interesting...
why, Jellen?
ever eat a lot of beets?
Just in the spirit of the holiday :-)
LOL! :-)
That's for Valentine's Day Kap
my mrscoughs and pees when the wind blows in the wrong direction ladies,it willnot cross my eyes if you talk about it lol
Stress incontinence. Needs to do her Kegels>
Kegel while you work, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
yuppers..that ors ex 20 times a day:)..but i refuse to cut back for anyone;))
I just read a medical article that urinary incontinence is one of the health problems that goes unreported and untreated the most often. Both men and women have problems with it and it costs up to $800 million/year
That Depends, Nef.
LOL! Good one, Kap!
Oh Kap, Ruru would be so proud!
:-) Kap
I'd teach my preggers patients that they could do them up to 100 times/day; it's an exercise that you can do anytime and anywhere and no one knows you're doing them
Who is doing kegels right now?
i could show you,but it willcost you 50cents...
Me! :-)
All together now!
One, two, three- squeeze!
now,laterwe willbe doing the "holdthe pencil test.....
Jellen, did you get your ? answered?
*doing Kegel exercises*
then the "pickup the pencil " test lol
Crossy!
sorry, crossy, I'm not going to do THAT!
whoo, Crossy!
Think so...going to call np again in a bit...
Alright, I am done seeing patients here on the Indian Reservation so I will depart and go to the supermarket. My sister is visiting and has a list of requests. Good luck, Jellen.
Serious question--do the kegels really work?
they dosmoove,they have helpedmy wifegreatly
damn space bar
You have to do them regularly. They do work, but now without consistency
yes, smoove; but you really have to be consistent with doing them
Bye, Scrabbs
bye Scrabs
smoove, the Kegels are for a weakened pelvic floor. If there are other problems (such as over-active bladder); then some other things are necessary too. #1 thing is cut out the caffiene (it's a bladder wall stimulent)
Could I have stats for a word from the bottom right E, please?
ei5/18
Little Russian pictures of saints- alternate spellings
Thanks, Nef and Kap! NBT
wtg, Jellen!

Hello everybody. Happy Halloween! :-)
soodles!
mm,that frothy pint looks beautiful...
and of course wonderto see you soodle my dear:))
Hey Crossy. I was about to say the chat-log was eerily silent!! and don't worry.... the pint looks better than me... :-)
when i used to bartend,i always had a dream of tapping off a pint of guinness so fine and so firm that i couldscoopout a bitof a concavity in the centre and make a shooter in it to go along with the pint
seem likejust youand me and the lurkerskiddo
Hmmm.... been there, worn the tee-shirt! Known as depth-charges round this neck of the woods..... a pint of the blackstuff, and a shot glass of Baileys.... Lethal, in the extreme!
call them boilermakers and use whiskey
here we*
Served everywhere, called Irish Car Bombs.
lol@ irish car bombs
The one I don't get are VodBulls. Red Bull and a shot of vodka. Gross.
((((Molly)))). i was a victim of a particular horrid concoction called JeagerBombs. Shudders........
here the kidsuse that to stay awake andfunnel as much booze as they can before it is time for emerg
tada!! finito!!
A heart attack in a glass - Vodbulls. That red bull stuff is hideous.
i have seen more cases of alcohol poisoning since the cafene drinks came out
Yay Lbd... congrats :-)
Soodle, you went for the Jaeger? Crazy woman!!!
ty soodle
Alas, I did, Champ. To my downfall. When I write the Soodle Life story, a whole chapter is going to be devoted to 'The JeagerBomb Night'.
You REMEMBER?????????? Good for you!
Well, its more a case of what I was told, and the accompanying photographs............ :-(
Girl...!
But that was the OLD Soodle. The new and improved model wouldn't dream of such carry-on. :-P
Ahahahahahaha!!!
Jaeger Bombs are horrid
Oh yes....I'm sure!
How are you celebrating Halloween, Molls?
Making a concerted effort not to be hacked off at my kid, who decided NOT to wear the ghost costume I made for him to work.
(Said she, neatly veering the conversation away from Soodle's excesses)
The ungrateful wretch, Molly. Don't feed him for a week!
*Avoidance duly noted*
Classic case of male laziness. If I had been home to do his make up, I'm sure he would have worn it.
Or maybe he's not a Make-Up kinda guy, Molls.
This was more of "what if I'm the only one who dresses up?" He works at a day care. Of course, everyone BUT him was dressed up.
My son went off to a Halloween party as a construction worker. Guess what his job is? Yup! A construction worker..
LOL Molly. He was expressing his individuality!
My oldest got all the Halloween spirit in the family. He usually looks tres frightening on Halloween. Used to scare the crap out of the trick or treaters. And some parents.
(((((hugs and choclits))) *goes off to check the chicken stew*
Daughter No 1 went off as a very very vampish vampire. Daughter No 2 pinned about 100 green balloons to herself, and went off as a bunch of grapes. I wonder how many 'grapes' will survive the evening.
Hey Stiddie Happy halloween :-)
Trick or treat!
Hey...I like the grape idea! My youngest is going as an 80's girl. The older 2 aren't into it at all.
(((((Mom)))))) How lovely to see you. Happy Halloween :-)
Hi Champ
(((Soodle)))) so good to see you as well. Happy Halloween
Hi Mom!
hi everybody - I'll be in and out - or up and down - the doorbell is ringing like crazy here!
Champ, I expect to see Daughter No 2 arriving home, somewhat deflated...........
Ah I hear the sound of the little ones hollering on the street. hi jbv, I will be doing that as well
:-) soodle
Probably...but it'll be fun in the meantime!
I had to go out and clear the front walk of ice - that's a first for Halloween
at our old house we didn't have trick or treaters the last 8 years or so we lived there. Everyone was about our boys age and they all grew up
hi all
this is our 3rd Halloween here, first year we had 149, last year 27
This is the last year I'm hosting the block party. Youngest will be a teenager. There's a new group of little ones coming up...time to pass the buck!
i have no idea how many i will get... new neighbourhood..i have 60 bags of chips..
I like the little ones the best. If 2Bit's Maggie came to my door I would give her the whole bowl of candy. : )
I agree Champ
hi Carlee
hi mom!
hi Molly. She is a darling
I tried this year, but it didn't work. Hi Carlee!
Hey ((((( Carlee))))))
Hi Mom, I like your icon.
probably because you pull it off so well, Champ
Not a single trick or treater did I have, and its now 10.10 pm. The downfall of living out int the sticks.
thanks Moly
And I know you won't eat the candy, with your new slimmer self!
{{soods}}
hi again, all!
Leave the treat out for the wee folk Soodle. Be sure you leave some Irish too.
I should be grading homework....
hi sue
Champ - for that very reason, I didn't even buy candy. I knew we would have no callers, and I knew that I would eat same, if it was in the house.
i should be reading...
hi, carlee!
Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Sue :-)
hi uusue
I told Frank to buy about 3 bags of candy; he came home with about 10. Sigh.
I should be doing something, anything but here I sit
One of the most dangerous things to do is to send a man to the grocery store.
( I got my history review back... considering i RIPPED the book apart... and bsically trashed it - instructor said i had "interesting" ideas- i got 745...sw other grades..mostly in 60's so I guess i did ok )
the other 7 are for him, uusue
I've noticed it doesn't work out well, Molly.
74% even
excellent Carlee
except he can't eat them, mom! (not gluten free)
Sweetie, if I send him to the store, he buys exactly what I ask for. no deviations at all
Tonight before I go to bed, I will leave the table set. I will leave out some cake and whiskey, for the souls of those who have passed over. ( I will positively sh*t myself if any of it gets touched overnight)
help with the en 5/18 plrase
oh that's right uusue, I forgot. sorry
Hi Mac cafixx
Hi mom
freeze and use for one of your physics olympics...or pass out to the students in class fora treat :p )
I don't have the en 5/18 but I will help you look
he did get some M&Ms, which are usually ok for him, but then he also got Twix and I don't know what else (didn't want to look)
Mac... en, plus a two letter equivalent of all right, and a vowel....
I have a candy dish in my office for students who come by, may give the rest of it to the kid
en5/18 = Japanese mushroom
thank you Soodle
Mushroom! Ty soodle!
ty uusue2!
or freeze for your candy dish
Oh! It always surprises me when somebody acutally GETS my clue :-)
it was great!
((((Champ))))
I thought it was a great clue
ok...finding my dinner....so i can eat without interruption from kiddoes in costume
isn't it time for trick or treaters, Carlee
<Delighted with self :-)
as well you should be, Soodle
hey all, working on a small variant of the chicken "pot pie" I usually make on October 31, didn't feel like doing the whole cook it all and then brown it in the oven after. Nothing like a nice hot meal on a cool evening. It was sunny all day long, so cooler during the day than normal.
Yum!
you make a chicken pot pie every Oct. 31?
Traditional Irish halloween dish is called Concannon. Its mashed potatoes, cabbage and onions. With loads of butter.
Agh. Stidkid says he is ready to get the dead critter (think it's a possum) out of the ditch. A perfect task for today. *yuck face* *poof*
I think you may have stumbled upon something there Stid. A 365 day meal planner
*Passes Soodle a Depends undergarment*
cooked cabbage I am guessing?
She could've used that last night, I'll bet!
Sweetie loves cooked cabbage, I may have to try that
Nah Molls... I'm untraditional. it was lasagne with side salad tonight! :-)
I should have guessed about your sweetie Mom. You got one of the keepers. : )
That I do, Molly
<-----Loves the way Mom refers to her other half.
Soodle, the Depends is for when you discover what you left out has been touched.
oops - made a mistake in posted homework solutions for the class that has an exam tomorrow. Fortunately it was just an arithmetic error
<-------- blushes
I have called him that for so long now that it seems strange when I have to refer to him by his actual name
My husband calls me Honey. If I'm in trouble, it's Susan.
I am very envious Mom, but I salute you!!
mine calls me honey also
<---Loves a good love story. Hats off to Mom and Champ.
Mine used to call me honey, but I think that was because he forgot my actual name.....
My dad did that Soodle! He called all ladies "Honey" for that very reason!
((((Soodle)))
my wife has various pet names forme..99% of which cannot be posted here:(
hi crossy!
<----------- Bitter and twisted!!
howdy champ
oh (((Crossy))) I don't believe that for a minute. Hello
(((MOM)))
Crossy.... I love your name for Mrs Crossy. Elegant says it all!
<---------- wondering why all the children are going on the other side of the street and not our side. :-(
:)
everyone knows the best candy is on this side of the street
thatsmy victoria;)
Maybe they're being methodical, and will work their way back Mom...
I agree with Soodle,Crossy
me too, crossy!
I hope so Champ, I would hate to have to eat this myself
You betcha, Champ. The kids have probably got a strategy that would baffle any army general!
I don't think so .... they are going back up the street. I even have the lights on.
good grief! crazies!
silly kids. they'll be sorry :-)
we used todo caramel applesand candly coated apples..did 25of each and never ever had any left over
Just watching the news here..... wow... how is everybody doing, snow-wise?
after they were gone,any stragglersgot those candieswrapped orange paper
It's a shame you can't give out home made treats anymore. Those were my favorites as a kid. We even had a house that gave away home made doughnuts.
You can't do home made anywhere anymore...schools, etc. Bummer.
Soodle, we didn't get enough snow to care about. North of here got slammed. I heard Dorens is without power.
Why can't you give home-made?
And of course I'm in the south...it's 76 as we spesak.
my alma mater (in western MA) had to shut down because there was no power - students had to stay in the dorms, which were running on generators
*speak*
they will resume classes tomorrow, though
here it is 33f and we have had a light dusting twice now
At schools they don't want to risk germs, contamination, etc. It has to be pre-packaged.
And the nut allergies, and the gazillion other allergies that never were a problem when I was a kid.
no snow here yet..thank god...snow tired go on tomorrow
ok, I am taking the last set of homework home with me to grade (seems only fair)
although I suppose that means I have to take the book too, sigh
I know Molly...why now? they're everywhere!
hi, I'm back - the ghosts and goblins seem to have tapered off
tires* even
As for treats at Halloween, parents won't let their kids eat anything that isn't factory packaged. Too many nuts putting bad things in home made stuff.
Oh, for heavens' sake. How in al that's holy did any of us survive? We got dirty, ate blackberries straight off the bushes, drank water from wells, and hey!! We are all still here to tell the tale.
hey again. it was a dead possum...
Swam in ditches.........
I tried giving out non-candy treats a few times - kids hate that, though -
dead possum?
and as a person who is allergic to many very common foodstuffs, I only eat things that are clearly labeled unless I really know the cook very well or the restaurant has a reputation for keeping things straight.
Frank is the same way, stid - has to be super careful
How lovely, Stid.. A dead possum always adds a certain je ne sais quais to Halloween
re
I'm back ... we have had 8 little ones so far
When we lived in apartments and had trick or treaters I gave out cool stickers, little games/toys and occasionally fancy pencils. They were always appreciated.
hello Stid and Tceicher
i just stay away from pink fruit anything ( allergic to strawberries and i dont carry an epi pen)
indeed, soodle, nothing like thematic yard management!
we had one that died in our small outdoor pond over the winter, killed all the fish
explains why the dog was so interested in the pond all winter :-P
I had a little tiny one tonight, no more tham two years old - I gave him pretzels and there was a cardboard insert in the pretzel bag, like a coloring book page, so I gave him that too and he looked right at me and said "I don't want to color!" (The mom accepted it :)
that would yes sue...
I didn't want it getting washed into the culvert and clogging it...
yes -- and I didn't want Lucky getting exploratory.
anyway, have to recharge the computer, go get the younger kid, and then come back and peel the pomegranates from my aunt's yard for tonight's treat for the boys.
JBV - if a man don't want to colour, he don't want to colour.... (at the risk of repeating myself... the ungrateful wretch....)
I am glad that it's Monday so the boys are not tempted to be away from home today, the pretty much missed the last two years' family dinner. Oh well...
LOL soodles!
okay. I don't want to go. *determined look* but I am going to go. *poof*
Byeeeeee Stid. Happy Halloween!
bye bye Stid
well, he was at least cute and had on a costume, can't say as much for some of these teenagers....
bye stid
bye stiddy
bye, stid!
no kiddoes yet
I need to get out there and get the party started. Have fun all!
sue, how's the Halloween spirit at your school? I was rather disappointed today - didn't see much of anything and I was there for a few hours
JBV.. count yourself lucky you won't have a16 yr old festooned with green balloons calling to your door, seeking treats. (earnestly hoping daughter no2 wont cross the Atlantic tonight...)
green balloons? I hope she's wearing some clothes under them, soodle!!
pretty scattered - the LGBT center had a reception at noon so there were some costumes there
(((((Champ)))) Have a wonderful night. :-)
a lot of the bars and other student places downtown had parties Saturday night, though
at least that's when my son got dressed up
oh, bye, champ!
All the adult parties and bar parties here were over the weekend too.
i am on a little dead end street so i dont expect much in the way of kids
Yup JBV... she is apparently a bunch of grapes, clad in black leggings and tee shirt underneath. But, I am a mom, and I worry...........
will just take them as snacks for the sleepover friday night
hello my dear friends
Hi Trif
((((Trif))))) How lovely to see you. Its been too long!
hi, trif!

Hey, if Frank bought ten bags of candy, Frank can hand it out.

I have just made a margarita - not keen on the guiness myself...
i want...something... just not sure what...
hi soodle, sorry for the lag - I saw your post about the grapes - LOL - don't worry, she'll be fine
I felt like that for an hour before I made the margarita carlee...
<---Is looked down upon by her Irish ancestors because she has no taste for Guiness
Pints of Guinness free to any and all Babblers who get to Ireland!
<--- named cat Guinness, but can't stand the stuff
lol,molly just use it tochase singlemalt whiskey and you ancestors will rest easy
my mom wants to go to Ireland
nah Molls. your fondness for Tullamore Dew cancels out your aversion to Guinness.
i want a bluerussian kitty and i am going to name him smirnoff
Last time I went to the spirits store, Jemmy's was on sale. I'm drinking big time these days.
we had a black cat..nmed her russian
I am easing off the drink
crossy just got acraving forsome glenfiddich...
Don't worry Glant, the rest of us are picking up your slack. : )
because - woo hoo - hideous husband has gone to New Zealand for 6 months
Moms' Mom would be as welcome as the flowers in Spring. Fact!
ahh yes glant,just remembered your horrid hubby:(
*Raises a glass to hideous husband's departure*
Yikes, Glan.... thats a long way to go, for a long time... You OK with that?
and it is *possible* that the house has been sold - waiting to hear if the potential buyers can raise the finance
my wife has my permission to shoot me if i get that way
crossing fingers, toes and any other appendages that will cross LOL
Ah... I missed the 'Hideous' bit.... so, its good he is gone?
Soodle - that's as far away as he can get which suits me just fine
and the decree nisi comes through on 9th November
just think,you can have the house sold,his halfin an envelope and you new swinging sinle chickpad all set up before he gets back:)
*Lights candles and says Novenas that the house sale goes through*
nd he can opnly appeal against being awarded all divorce costs if he lodges an appeal by 7th \november - which he won;t be able to because he's in new Zealand LOL
single*
If I may raise a toast to absent hideous husbands................ TO ABSENT HIDEOUS HUSBANDS.......
that's what i'm hoping Crossy
SLAINTE!!!
Slainte!
better get another magarita so i can join in the otast LOL
crossy slowly backs out of a chog full of evildeath tomen vibes....
needs to find something quick to drink to join in the toast
not all mne Crosy, just this one
( water bottle do???)
I may not trust another one with my emotions, but I have not turned against men per se
water bottle is fine carlee
whew! crossy puts down suit of armor
iechyd da!
(good health)
Oh yeah, how is the "other man" situation going Glant?
i still like men....alot... i enjoy men...and i will truct them again...
he met soemone else... but at least he had the decency to tell me so immediatey
trust* even
and he said he'd like to reman friends
so we will
Hey Glant, that's fair and decent.
yes nothing worsethat unearthing a "thing" that has been going on for years
tell me about it crossy...
Glan......Onwards and upwards!!
hi all
yes, onward and upwards - and i hadn't realised how 'on edge' i have felt for months, just because hideous either was in the house or could visit any time he liked
hi sue
kids are bringing back stray kitten instead of candy
arggggg
oh no sue
better on the dentist bill sue
I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 rats, 1 snake and fleas up the ass, now a furry little kitten is on my front porch
( TRYING to find up side)
bet it's real pretty though?
<worrying about the fleas and their whereabouts...
darn itchy i would think..especially there
<---Would not deal well with a house full of fleas
<---- no fleas here... icky...
Happy to report not a problem chez soodle.
having just got rid of a house full of fleas (hideous did not Frontiline the dog, apparently) I know I never want them again. My legs looked like a war zone
Having said that, no doubt a plague will descend on my home.
i want a chocolate milkshake,,,,,THAT is what i want
*Reminds Soodle that thoughts become things*
oooh if i think hard enough i will have achocolate milkshake..yummmmm!!!!
Why thank you Molly.I'm scratching already... :-P
i count my blessing that a good woman chose me and after 20 years(18 of em married)i feel just as closeas day one..but she still will not let me bring home that 25 year old cutie to spice things up lol... i asked and she said no:(
crossy - let the 25 hyear old remain a fantasy - she'd be boring anyway, not enough life experience to be that interesting!!!
<---------- What Glan said!!!
yes,you are correctshe would be a vapid sillicone breasted mouth breather lol
which is a pretty good fantasy, but not a good life experience LOL
i find as we gone on,that shared history,and life experience count formuch morethat you wouldthink,that and talking about the big things,the small thigs,talking boutanything and everything..even sweet nothings...
<----- still dreaming of a chocolate milkshake
especially sweet nothings - don;t stop that crossy
i don't understand why hade is accepted but eden is not
haven't you drunk that milkshake yet carlee?
or rather hades
oh sure when i was younger it was 8 times a day in the hall in the kitchen,in the back field..but now it is quality over quantity
i havent GOT one :(
Not a ghost, not a ghoul to be seen. TV turned off cos I don't DO scary films. I think I might go to bed.
aah, no milk an coca?
No trick or treaters at all here - my house looks scary in the darLOL
( i think one secret to a long happy relationship is to never let your partner off the pedestal u place them on...and must be a mutual thing)
*dark, even
no chocolate ice cream for a milkshake
no T or T here, we're a buzz in bldg -- MORE CANDY FOR ME!!!!!!
Good night my Babble friends. I enjoyed the chat - thank you all. Poof
night night soodle
night night soods
i treatmy wife like a queen and have a throne forher,and she raises me up on a pedestal (likethe song say) her strngth makesmestronger than what i could be alone
sounds wonderful - maybe one day I might aspire to that kind of relationship
( my point exactly crossy... dxh never had me on a pedestal..and he fell off the one i put him on many many years ago )
:(
its ok... life lesson
men especially becomecomlacant carlee..wegetin a rutand must look around and seehow wellwefare sometimes
complacant
whoa we are up to 41 little kiddies
if there is a next one... it will be different
but the ladiesmust alsonottry tomakeus heel,theremust be room to grow,and tomakemistakes
me too carlee
Hi there y'all.
<---Has no use for pedestals. A realistic, loving someone for who they are, is more my speed.
and my space bar is almostdead,soiqilldivein the grid,but willstillbe around forabit
Hey Peach.
I have always encouraged my men to grow but they don;t eem to have wanted to
we had 5 treat or treaters. we have not any the past 3 years
Hi gapeach
Hi Peach, Peri
glad we had some candy to give out
Hey there, Mom.
Hi Glantarell.
We have no power in the town I live in due to the October snowstorm. I'm at my daughter's house now, but it looks like we won't get power for a week
Snowstorm? Where are you B ichon?
May I please have a clue for en5-18? Thanks
In central Connecticut
for this non US person, is that kind iof north and in the middle or to the east?
bichon, anywhere near Norwich?
About 30 miles NW
The shoreline wasn't hit as hard as we were
hi bichon - sorry to hear about the power outage- at least you have somewhere to go -
I lived there for 7 years.....darned rough winters...otherwise, not a bad place.
lots of power outage
We came down cause it's grand daughter b'day and Halloween
I love to see the little ones. I use to make the boys costumes.
gapeach....en + two letters for all right + vowel
and fallen trees, more than hurricane irene
my area didn't get much snow (only about 2-3 inches) but LOTS of trees and branches came down - one just missed by house by, no kidding, less than a foot
TY Mom - didn;t have that
Thanks much, Mom.
missed *my house
you're welcome Glantarell and hello
hi all
((((Mom))))
you're welcome gapeach
hi ((Peri)))
lots of lines down and lots of houses hit
<---- going to find chocolate something or other...
oh jbv, how awful
Hi Mom
come on down, Carlee, I have plenty
I am eating halloween candy :)
it was kind of amazing to see the trees bowed down and bent over with the weight of the snow - a branch that hangs over the roof of my sunroom was on the ground - bounced back though
well, not really too awful, MOm - since there is no damage, thank goodness - but I have to figure out how to get that branch out to the street - it's huge
Gosh, carlee, I am craving chocolate SO badly.
JBV, glad to hear you had no tree damage.
brb
come on up Gapeach and we will just have a meet up here
jbv, it might take a tree trimmer to come cut it in pieces to haul to the curb
I think you're right, Mom - and I guess it wouldnt' be a bad idea to trim some of the bigger branches that are hanging over the garage - just a precaution
Bonfire at JBV's house!!!
I agree, I have neighbors who never did that and they are sorry now
Hello all briefly again -- bridge night.
hello jillibus
Hi Jilli, cute icon.
Hi Jilli
We are camped out in our closed off kitchen with the fire going. Don't know what we'll do when the firewood runs out
I do have a Halloween icon but don't expect any trick or treaters. If they come I'm afraid there will be nobody home. It's only 4:46 pm here now and a lovely sunny day.
So sorry for all you victims of the surprise snowstorm!
Glant, you were asking where Connecticut is -- it's just northeast of NY City. Sort of.
So, is Connecticut north or south of massachusets?
They are forecasting snow for us soon - we tend to get what NE of the Us gets, 5-7 days later - this would be very early for snmow for us
Hello all.
Hi wht
And Connectecut is just south of Massachusetts
ty hwt
We are in southern New England, on the Connecticut Sound
how much snow bichon?
on6-8", but it was very wet snow and the leaves were still on the treesly about
6-8 " IS HEAVY FOR US
sorry, caps lock on
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Cos
it's nothing for us. We can get 12 - 18 " at a time
Not so happy a Holloween for the towns that have had to postpone it.
i read that just a few mins ago :( that is sad.
I thinkk most people are celebrating it tonight
This would have been a significant storm in the middle of winter but because the leaves were still on the trees the damage is much greater.
This is a demonstration on why trees shed their leaves in the winter.
Hi Cos. Great icon. Everyone has been very creative with their Halloween icons. : )
thanks :)
well, goodnight all, after midnight now and time to sleep - happy babbling
g'night glan
just flying in to wish all a happy halloween
and to show off my icon :)

hi herin

Rules for Halloween for Seniors You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when: 10. You keep knocking on your own front door. 9. You remove your false teeth to change your appearance. 8. You ask for soft high fiber candy only. 7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, and you lose your balance and fall over. 6. People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,' and you're not wearing a mask.
too funny temple owl
hardehar TO
help with the sh5 after the curtains
fireworks
yahooo cos
help please
Congrats, cosdem!!!!!
Congrats cosdem!!
5. When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...'.and you can't remember the rest. 4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders. 3. You have to carefully choose a costume that doesn't dislodge your hairpiece. 2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker. And the number one reason Seniors should not go Trick Or Treating... 1. You keep having to go home to pee.
Very cute TO. : )

*honk*
hi eva
i got here + it got quiet...
Let them eat quiche!! : P
evening all....I am stuck...i need the 5/6 combo behind the curtains you see through...any clue please
Hi Eva, did you and your husband have a nice anniversary in Disney?
wonderful trip. until we tried to come home! flight was greatly delayed, thanks to the freak weather!
that is a sh 5/6 combo behind the curtains
Button...the opposite of he + not young, minus the last letter and plural
Oh no Eva. Sorry you had delays. How did Mr. Eva do with flying this time?
Molly, thanks a million...got it
getting there, he did very well! getting home, he would have been fine. weather was making him nervous, but the extra hours of sitting in the airport made him pretty miserable. oh well.
You're welcome Button. Weird words.
Molly, I am a minister so you would think I would see a Hebrew word like that but i have looked for 30 minutes.
Well Eva, that would make anyone miserable. I hate waiting.
we made it home safe + sound, albeit cold and exhausted.
I need a clue please for the second ho6/33..right behind the goose call...my last word to finish
Slur word that refers to white people, with a different ending.
Molly, thanks....fireworks
Eva, I hope after all that travel hassle you guys had a warm, fun and romantic Disney trip.
Or, aside from all that travel hassle.
Congratulations on your fireworks Button.
the weather was gorgeous down there. wonderfully warm! twas almost a shame to come home...heh
hi all
whoo hoo button!
Hi everyone
Hi again everybody. And YAY, buttonman!! WTG!!!
Welcome home EvaN! Sorry you have bad weather out there, it's beautiful but cool in MN
hi sea and nef
get back ho6 cat
I keep missing either the singular or the pl of words. Going through the list I've just added 10 more words by fixing that!
wd nef
Was thinking of our Disney trip tonight- Granddaughter wore the "Tiana" dress, rainbow colored hair, etc. that she got as part of her Disney Princess makeover lasdt spring. I have such wonderful memories of being with her there
sounds lovely wv
Love sharing things with her. Tonight for Halloween she was the princess - white gloves, sparkly slippers - and the 1 year old was the frog.
haha
I feel very lucky that they are right here in town near us
I bet they were adorable!
we had all of 5 trick or treaters this year... :-(
i am in the mountains so i had no**
evening all! we had 3 families
hi dan
i was thinking next year should be good because there are so many 1 year olds on my block this year
hi dan2. It makes me wonder if the tradition is dying out?
We have a house in the next block that goes all out with decorating and people come from all over for that house so we always get people parked everywhere and lots of kids.
I think it all depends on the neighborhood - we have a lot of retired folks and first generation immigrants
I was at the grandkids house to hand out goodies while they were out and they had about 40 - 50 kids. They are in a small subdivision. My husband covered the "goodies" here at our house
we were still on our honeymoon last year, so we missed it. the 2 years prior, we lived in an apartment + kids didnt go there. this year, i had my running class tonight, so i missed the beginning. we had no candy + were totally unprepared, but hubby ran out for a few bags. all gone now!
I went out onto the street, the 1st 5 houses on our block from a fairly busy street are all lit up (that includes our house) and have jack-o-lanterns and other decorations out to invite the kids; and only 3 kids showed.
stats for the corner E please
happy Monday, all
hi jen
ei5, ei7, ei6 jmc
that was 5 houses on both sides of the street; totalling 10 houses in all
use the high point tile
ty dan2
that's a word???
haha its a word for someone who can't spell!
anyone watching Monday Night Football?
um no tv here is it a good game?
of course, KC is winning 10 -3 over San Diego
San Diego just missed a field goal!
how long of a one?
um not sure
45 yard
well that is a sizable goal but a good kicker should have made it
almost halftime
nbt
nbt?
goodnight all
night seaspray
bye seaspray
no blank tile
what does that mean?
i means i have a word from each of the tiles that can have words coming from them
in this case all of the tiles
ic
:-) just a little sub goal for the nights i am too tired to do it all
gotcha
i got one tile blacked out, the top N
hi jmc and Jen. Jen, after you get NBT; then we try for NBS (no blank stats for letters for words
its good to look for triumph where you can
hi nef
no blank stats?
you have found a word from each of the different lengths
it's also kind of like getting to half way; some days you just can't finish but want to have accomplished something!
i have done that
wd then jen!
I used to *have* to finish every grid; but now - a few years after about a year of no Babble at all- I look for smaller goals
was that a self imposed no babble at all nef?
sort of. Between knowing I was too hooked to Babble and not doing the things I had to; I jsut decided I had to quit for a while
i understand that nef
i need a stat for the first e in the second row down and the middle n on the bottom
i admit that when i first started babbling i did it a lot but i was mainly having stress in my life that didn't let me sleep then
es4/4
na4/4
but there was a great deal of fun in getting to know the different groups of people
how about the e in the lower right corner?
unfortunately some people have allowed themselves to be driven off the chog because of some junior high school shenanigans
i just always assume people mean the best and don't worry about the rest
ei5/18 and ei6/30
ei5/18, Jen. It's a homophone for the avatar pics we use
but i miss people who decided to leave and am unhappy that they abdicate that way
how about the n, can't get it, the one on the bottom in the middle
it is a babblet jen
n and vowels
jmc, I find that sometimes people leave for a while for whatever reason; usually they return after a while.
i hope so but i read haz's profile and am afraid she may not
yeah, nbt
wtg jen!!
oh-oh. What happened (going off to check haz's profile)
80 words!
still cant find en 5/18 any clues?
go jen go!
en5/18 is a mushroom
does that help?
never mind i got it
wtg
jmc, what happened to pini? in the Rankings; she no longer shows up as a member!
she's still there nef at 1500
last i talked to her she was having work struggles
i will email her and check in later
am i in the rankings?
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
I haven't found Haz yet
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
yes as a village elder with 635,719
nef do a search on the rankings webpage for haz
what browser are you using?
hi min
hi min!
how do you find the rankings
look up at the blue star jen and right click on it
I'm using FireFox, jmc. what's the easy way to search (I don't usually use the search shortcut; can't remember the dang thnig!
Click on Rankings next to the blue star on top of this page JenMO16.
click on the orange firefox drop down menu and then click on Find
Yay, ran out of candy - cutest kid, in a bathrobe and curlers, wearing a box with white balloons all over it, what is she?
it will open a window at the bottom of the page where you can type in the word you are looking for
q-tips?
nope, next?
taking a bubble bath?
yep, you got it jmny, cute, huh?
Hello shdybr8!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
haha very!
hi min, how are you?
OMG, jmc! that is horrible (in Haz profile!)
i loved it, congratulated mom
i wish i had her email
sounds like a great costume, shdy!
me too.
cute as can be, the best one of the evening
shdybr8,I'm bummed out that I bought way too much candy for Halloween.I bought 80 treat bags and gave out only 25. Too bad I can't save bags until next year
you can freeze candy min--when my son used to bring home pounds of it i would freeze it
we hang out in the front yard for halloween, since dog pack and costumed kids don't mesh well
chocolate is especially nice frozen in the summer
gotta be more like me, Min, (i.e. big pushover) i tell them to grab a few, they grab a few few's! fun for all
Min, we had all of 3 (THREE!!) trick or treaters tonight. DH had bought 3 bags of chocolate and I thought it wasn't enough (I think we had close to 60 kids last year). I'm bummed too
here (baton rouge) we mostly get kids from other neighborhoods, parents bring them in a car and only let them walk a house or two. Sad statement about BR, but great for those kids whose parents care enough!
thanks to all who cared about my Bear, he is doing amazingly well - staggers to the left a little, but crazy well.
your bear? is that one of your dogs?
yeah, jmny, he had a stroke a week and 1/2 ago, he's 14 and big
oh dear i am glad he is doing okay! my last cat had a stroke and i was surprised how well she got over it
we have nice weather tonight; there were 5 houses lit up and decorated on both sides of the street right off a busy street; I can't think why there weren't any kids
I'm so glad bear is better, shdy
it is such the luck of the draw nef
well i am tired and have to get up to drive to an 9 am meeting so i think i will call it a night with 163 left
ty, nef, sorry about the trick-or-treaters! Can't believe Bear's recovery, he is down to 40 mg of prednisone every other day now (starting tomorrow),can't believe how strong my boy is
night, Jmny, take care and drive safe!
give bear a hug from me shdy and goodnight all
niters, jmc
hi all
bye jmc!
**hug given** Bear licks your chin
hi and bye jes
*poof*
hiya jes!
hi jes
I had 106 trick or treaters tonight!!
yay, poodle, my gosh, you had time to count?
barely!
hi everyone!
Hello poodletoes! How are you? Welcome to the chog.
WOW!
Hi minveryork
lbd! nice to see you
Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to grid
Hi lbdawger! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Just popped in for a second - nite all

Bye poodletoes! Nice to see you in chog, albeit briefly
so you have a lot of candy left? I ended up giving them MY candy!!!! Gonna have to restock tomorrow! lol
no, i just don't bother buying candy. we never get trick or treaters.
i kind of enjoy them, they are so happy
i was miss grumpy all afternoon, horse show i wanted to see Saturday nite is at same time as SEC game of the decade, i was frowny, the kids cheered me up
we only had 3 kids here; 2 middle schhol aged ones and one 4-6 yr old "little Bo Peep" (She corrected DH when he referred to her as "Mary with her little lamb"
too cute, Nef!
err, middle school aged kids, one dressed as Jason and the other as a ghost.
I was a ho5/12 and ho 5/14 in on the grid when I got home from work. It took me ae 5/10 just to find 158 words so I gave up on grid. Even though I am no way ne 4/4 done, he 4/5 is a story of clues for those who ne 4/5 it to help them se4/8 more words.My husband is av 6/27 to Babble. In fact, he is not ke 4/8 on the idea of babbling at all. I have pleaded with him to try to play the game, but he will not conce4/6.My please have fallen on deaf ea 4/4. My husband is not so 4/5 on babbling.He does not understand the sh5/12 joy I get from babbling. He's le4/4y about me babbling. He is scared I will meet another man in the chog. I have told him that he won't lo 4/4 me to another in a chat room and that I love him with my heart and so 4/4. I haven't he 4/6ed his warnings about my babbling so I have to sneak in my babbling.

hubby turns older tomorrow, he's used to spending tonight in some bar - i just told him the rule - 'the only thing you can say is Happy halloween'
nice work, min
Thanks shdybr8!
what?!? why isn't "oinker" a word?
off to bed, tutoring at 8 tomorrow, have a great night, all!
2 phantom words for me today were nerve and serve.
Goodbye shdybr8! I will see you tomorrow in the chog
On that note, I will follow shdybr8 out of the chog too
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow
sleep sweet shady and min
thanks for the story, Min. Sleep well!
hey all, I think I am here for a while.
dinner is done, the boys are getting themselves ready for bed, and only a few dishes remain since we did most of them while cooking.
hi stiddy
how's you jes?
not too shabby
glad to hear!
frustrated that people think it's okay to lie to my receptionists, but other than that pretty good :)
how're you?
sorry about people who aren't truthful
hi stiddy!
I am well, jes -- no work today, but maybe tomorrow and since it was lovely (sunny, warmish) and I had energy to do some things around the house which was nice.
hey lbd! how are you? no snow yet in your neck of the woods, I hope
oh, day off is nice :)
hi stid. Glad to hear you had a good day
i'm doing well. i'm in Denver right now. trying to collect some furniture and stuff from my dad's house. weather was beautiful today in the 70's
:-) well, after two weeks unavailable because of travel I wouldn't mind the work, but yes a day off is lovely too!
glad to hear you also had the nice weather LBD
hey Nef
70s? wow. I think it got up to 37 here...
At least we have a little put aside that will last until I get regular work. I am considering adding another district to my substituting list, and putting my name out as a tutor as well.
spose to get some bad weather tomorrow night and wednesday. but then melts off and we're heading home.
yeah, i think that front is suppose to be coming this way, jes
DId your dad pass away, lbd?
I hope that you are able to get the things you value, LBD -- it's hard to decide sometimes, as I found when the one grandmother passed away.
no, nef. my dad moved to a retirement center, and we're trying to clear out the house to sell it
stats for the e lower right?
thanks jes, I can officially sit near you and not have asked for the one I still need...
ei5, 7 and 6
ei 5/18, jes
with my other grandmother, I had time to think about what I wanted while they tried to sell the house to pay for her nursing home.
thanks LBD and Nef
what's hard is, my sisters wanting me to take it all, and i have the smallest house!
thanks :) nbt
I'm glad to hear that your Dad moved, lbd instead of passing away. Sorting through stuff is tough enough
we wanted the most and had the smallest space, too!
go jes go!
yes it is, it's hard to remind everyone that it's still his stuff, and our relocating stuff is just that relocation.
by Thanksgiving we will have to take Aunty's household furnishings out of storage; and I still don't know what to do with it all. I really can sympathize with you lbd
Granny didn't know that we were emptying and selling the house, but I thought perhaps it would have soothed her to know that her things were being cared for.
you might want to consider an estate sale, Nef.
my oldest sister dug up three roses, she said she just didn't want mom's roses going to someone else. guess who gets to move them to montana?
the people who did the estate sale for the one grandmother took care of everything from pricing to setting up to donating the items that didn't sell. It was helpful to my grandfather.
I hope they make the transition, LBD -- I suppose the climate is similar?
yeah, the company we talked to said they'd do the same thing. but we may have a buyer who is interested in some of the furnishings.
her sister called me today and told me to get rid of her big TV (which is old and probably dying as Aunty used to say the picture would shrink (never when I was there though). Her sister also told me that Aunty's beds were better than mine and I should keep them! (she IS the "bossy" sister of the 5; and the only one left at 92 yrs)
i just hope our ground wont be covered in snow when we get home! so hubz can plant them for the winter hibernation.
gotta love the bossy sisters!
(((lbd))) good luck
oh, five sisters! I bet that was a lively household!
thanks, Nef
can they hibernate in the garage in a garbage can?
i have no idea what hubz will do with them. probably put them in buckets and store them in the basement, or in the lean-to...we'll see.
there. just past halfway. eyes tired, I think I will bag it for tonight. Sweet dreams everyone, don't eat ALL the candy in one sitting! LOL *poof*
sweet dreams, stiddy. i'm off to the pillows too. night everyone!
sleep sweet, stid!
