hi robbie
nice tribute to FMitch west!
hi m9f9l
thank you robbie she will be missed..she was the epitome of a babble friend
westy, thanx for your lovely tribute to fmitch.
I will only be able to listen to AM from now on
It is really sad..
thanks rose
Haz is quite upset
she'd laugh at that ruru
very sad :(
I can imagine and so soon after losing Spangle
she would .. she had the best sense of humor
you know, she never let on just how sick she was,...sets a shining example to all of us. ( moi included)
Haz has been hit hard in the last few weeks. I am sorry for her losses
very true granny
she lost her mother in July..maybe she just lost the will to fight
I didn't know anything.. regarding FM.. I just missed not seeing her
m9 we really need that baby
time for some happiness in babble
I hope someone puts a nice picture of Fm in the PB for all of us and all future babblers
that's really nice ruru
I always pictured her gardening.. she said she did that all the time
yes. babies are good
i'm giving up for tonight.. night all..take care
did you read haz tribute in her profile?
m9 babies are wonderful news!
nite ruru
nite ruru, sleep well, mate
good night ruru take care
no.. I will in the morning. it's too sad right now
Aiden's bff visited on black friday with her baby. He's very cute: http://tinyurl.com/72m6kk3
what a doll..look at those blue eyes
aww..how cute m9
does that mean you got your camera back m?
no.. that's my old one that was dying.. it sometimes makes a horrendous sound and gets really hot.
But obviously I can still get some pics from it!
I just replaced the cheapo macro that I love.. 43 bucks. So I'm good for a while!
it did its job..could have something to do with the photographer and the subject too
it's frustrating.. but at least I'm not in total withdrawal!
how old is the baby?
falling asleep..nite west and m9!
5 mo
*poof*
nite robbie
good night robbie nice to see you
was he at the wedding ..I remember a picture of a 'bump'
yup.. he's the bump!
lol
he's really sweet. went right into my arms when I took him from his mommy as they walked through the door..heh heh.
our dryer is broken and I had a couple shirts whirring around on our ceiling fan to dry them.. he was fascinated!LOL
that's that dark bit when Aiden's holding hjim
what a good idea
yeah..well.. I have quite the make-do mentality!LOL
my dryer broke once..called the repairman and it wasn't plugged in
ha ha..
my dear husband needed the outlet and forgot to tell me
that would do it
communication is important.. :-P
now the outlet is up where I can see it
several houses later
I'm the fixer of those kinds of things usually. My drier will turn on.. but then turns itself off, like a charge is building up in it somehow..
't looked very hard into the problem.
have you had lots of rain?
either that or it's overheating
Hello...
no.
Hi Jellen!
hi jellen

i's..... id 4,4.....io 5....ir 4...is 6
i wonder if she copies list here, pastes it into her profile and then deletes the surplus letters in each word.
if so.. that's a bit of work
no, there's a formula to put it into Excel and it does it nicely, or so I keep reading
m's me 4,5,6,6,6,7,4,4,5,4,6,4
oh. cool
never tried it, but I used to excel at Excel when I was working a real job, lol
o's....od 4....of 5....om 4,5.....or 4,5,6,6,6,5....os 5
keep thinking I should be able to do it
dart, i have so4 mo words

must be a truncate function or something
ok. I need to hang so4 stuff from the ceiling fan and go to bed!LOL

eyes are half crossed...and I type with my two pointer fingers...so it's easy for me to mess up the list lol
thanks so much, dart!
dart, my dear, go to your rest knowing you have done your best....
any others needed?
that should be all of them, I think
i'm off then...good luck and goodnight
night, dart, sleep well! :)
nite, dart, sleep well. and thanx again
yw....pooooof
morning all
mornin' spritey
hi, sprite!
hey rose :) How are you today?
hey rbud :D
doing great sprite, don't know if you saw in chog, but i have jiggled my meds around, now walking up pain AND nausea free...
and you my friend, how are you going?
oh wow! Rose I am so glad for you!
sad, about FM, of course, and low on energy. But less panicky, so that is progress :)
yes, spritey, she was one in a million....
absolutely. It's always the sweetest ones that die young, isn't it :(
it's as if God needs His angels close to Him
yeah... not fair. He has zillions. We only a few.
I didn't really "know" her that well, but that great penalty box picture really stuck in my mind, I had it saved from way back.
* grin* i know, look how He took my darling Robyn and a year later took her husband, and left 2 teenage girls orphans.
oh yes, that was fun :D I still have it somewhere too, I think. I 'knew' her only online, but we emailed too and we were online friends for many years.
oh, that's so sad, g'rose!
He should know better, rose. I'll never understand. Mysterious ways for sure. *hugs*
you know, rbud, at the time i thought so too. i still miss her so much
but i had to realise that ultimately it was to protect those 2 girls....their father was plaaning on re-marrying...to a very controlling, bitter woman. i don't know. maybe that's too simplistic, but it's the o9nly way i can rationalise what has happened.
where did the girls go?
to their aunt, my friend's younger sister. she loves them dearly.
Hi all - anyone know how many fr words?
dianne, working that out now, so far have fr x 7
I am very glad they found a good home.
Hi Dianne
Hi sprite. I have 8 fr words. missing 1 from each F.

thx all. your lists helped immensely.
is that all the fr's, then, g'rose? (your list, I mean?)
yes, rbud
thanks
If someone could tell me how to put stuff in my profile, I could do a clues list. I'm pretty dumb, technically-wise.
I have fa x4, fe x 2, fi x 10, fo x 10 & fr x 8. What one am I missing?
the fy5
if you click "My account" at the upper right, then copy the list in the window at the right side of your profile. At the left side, check the 'Show profile' box. And save.
Stupid me - thanks so much.
babble blindness is not stupid, just babblish.

dachef, sprite & granny - thanks so much.
one of her favorite words is in today's grid..god of love
yvw Dianne :)
yw dianne
yes, also her husband's name.
ok, I tr5 what Sprite said. Can someone check if clues are in my profile (now that mrp is here, just for my own edification)
Clues are up
broll, I think you have unchecked the 'show profile' box.
thanks mrP.
yippee!!!! they are up, mrp
ty mrp
yep, now they show, mrP, perfectly.
thx, I'll keep trying.
ok, are clues working please, with no alerts of viruses??
expert still showing yesterdays.
no alerts, no panic messages here.
dachef, click on the list and then do Control + F5
broll, i think you have to go expert, then your profile will be accessible for all
sorted! Nice one sprite and MrP.
thanks all :) enjoy the grid Dach, close BE and reopen it if a refresh doesn't work and those that don't have be can use the Lickety Clues in 'friends of babble'
broll is pro member.
yvw Dachef :)
no, mrp, no alerts of viruses here
thanks girls and boys
great service again, mrP.
good morning
morning ruby
hello ruby
{{sprite}}
????spritey, then how come broll's profile doesn't come up?
you were right sprite, unchecked.
hello, westford, verynice to see you!
"show profile" may not be checked.
you too ruby
hello granny, how are you feeling?
ooohhhh, goodie, can now get all the goss on broll
perfect, broll, the list shows!
yep, rbud and rose, that was it.
oh, hey, broll, you did great! :D
'cuz broll is a techophobe, well, not really, just a computer dummy!
ruby, doing very well thanx. and you, my friend?
now you can pick an icon too, broll :D
hi rosebud
broil, I'm sure you're head and shoulders above me!
hiya, ruby! :)
cold here, leaves are down, but the roses linger -- it's very lovely
yes, but I will need some heavy-duty instruction for that! Maybe tomorrow.
we're having the warmest Nov on record..wouldn't you know I put the flannel sheets on
*sigh* one day, rbud, we will meet
we have no acorns
the only time I can change my icon is when son and wife visit - not very often
But can you all get the clues if you click on my icon?
* giggle * have just taken our flannies off...
<laughing a bit about "the roses linger" - we certainly do, don't we... ;p
we don't mind ruby we know what's in your heart
no, I have to click on your pink handbag
roses must linger, we don't want to be without them
HEY.... rose is very good at lingering...
pink handbag, lol! now I'm giggling again...
Ruby, my son is a computer programmer. We always used to joke that at least I knew how to turn the computer on.
as soon as you have an icon, broll, then we can access your profile by clicking on it. But for now, the 'girl' button works fine :)
aaah, you roses! it's a big name in both of our families: husband's mother, my aunts, our first chow chow, granddaughter and great-grand's middle names
you can click on it yourself and see, broll
our Abigail's middle name too
broll, whenever you feel like getting an icon and I am online, I will gladly take you through the steps.
hmmm, not sure about the chow chow, how about you rbud?
Ok, that works for me! I'm never the first done anyways, so I'll probably never have to do it again.
well, our two kids are named after dogs, how bad can it be, lol!
I love old-fashioned names. DH's new great-grand is named IYLA! What kind of name is that?
you did great, broll, thanks :)
and everybody is named Max!
thx Sprite. I may take you up on that offer.
Iyla? Kind of... forced.
sounds like a babblet ruby
anytime, broll!
ruby, very scottish, usually spelled ISLA
ridiculous! I hope they use here middle name and call her Rosie!
that would make more sense
Is mrp still here?
Isla Bonita, lol
according to who's on-line, yes, she is
yes broll

what happened to FM?
ne x 5
ty rbud
rubyfoo: FMitch has passed away, the day before yesterday. She had been ill for some time, was waiting for a transplant. But it didn't come in time.
ne 4, 4, 4, 7, 5
westy, ne 4, 4, 4, 7, 5...whatcha missing?
nice note about FM in Haz's profile
oh no! She was such a lovely person; I feel so sad!
ne 4
I am so so sorry for everyone in babbleland.... how incredibly selfless a woman she was, so nice, so warm. and to not get the transplant in time was just a huge moment of pause...
got it !
she was, ruby.
yay westy
she was one of the first babblers to befriend me, even sent me some fingerless gloves
I agree, mrP :(
treasure them, ruby...
Good morning/afternoon all. ruby, I've got the details of what has happened in my profile.
sad sad sad day :( (((group hug and prayer for Fiona)))
will read it, thank you, haz!
hi Haz *hug* Thanks for keeping us informed.
Hello, sprite, everyone.
hello haz I'm so sorry
haz, my darling, how are you? stupid question really, but my heart goes out out you
Hello, westford, grannyrose. I feel bereft.
Beautiful words, Haz, thanks again.
so so sorry for your loss Haz. You and Ata knew her well and must be devastating. I am so sorry.
ruru asked if someone might post a picture of FM
She was my friend in babble but she became more than that through e-mails, phone calls etc. She was just a good, fun, thoroughly decent lady.
it's such a shame when the beautiful young people die....sometimes i just can't understand it.
I read your profile post, haz, thank you for sharing
I think I have one somewhere of the three of us in London, just have to get my mind straight enough to find it for ruru.
just take care of yourself, Haz. Lots of sadness in your life atm.
thanx haz, would be much appreciated
Thanks, ruby.
*** --- ***
She was terrific, thoughtful and graceful... and funny to boot! Will be very missed
hey Lori, how great to see you.
Hello, Lori.
FM was my gardening pal. Gave me advice and we exchanged pictures. Her garden was much more beautiful, but thanks to her I was learning.
I'm going to be writing to her stepfather to formally convey my sympathy but am wondering just how to get across to him what an impact FM made across the world.
darn, dinner ready... will see you all at the flip. hugs, kisses and prayers for all to experience peace and comfort
bye for now, g'rose! :)
{{granny}}
Bye, grannyrose.
bye rose thank you
that is a tough thing for somebody who may not know 'virtual' communities. Maybe you can tell him that she touched so many lives through this chat... with fun, advice, help, warmth, sincerity.
bye rose, *hugs* for you.
sprite, if I e-mail Roy's address (her stepfather), could you maybe share it on Facebook in case others want to send a card or write? I don't want to put it on here.
Good morning all........What a wonderful testament you've written for FMitch......such a great loss to Babble and all who knew and loved her....'tis indeed a very sad time!
yes of course, Haz, I'll gladly do that.
Hello, Flask.
Thanks, sprite.
Hi Haz....n Sprite...
duty calls. Love and sad hugs, everybody
hi Flask, so sad.
Bye, ruby.
bye ruby, see you later.
hugs and bye ruby
bye ruby......
yep, very sad Sprite!
How are you Haz?
bye, ruby!
I'm terribly sad, Flask. It seems unreal.
I think Ive had a rotten time lately, however this certainly puts it into perspective!
I can't believe it........
It still doesn't mean that you can't feel rotten about your own life, things can be tough for everyone.
Oh I realise that.....a jolt like this does have an effect tho'......
She had been talking about what would happen when she was discharged and I was gearing myself for her being able to have access to a computer and babble again. The last time I spoke to her though, she didn't sound well and perhaps she deteriorated quickly after that.
I just wasn't aware of her having anything wrong.....
She hadn't been chatting for quite a while, but she specifically asked that her illness not be mentioned in the chat log so I stuck to that.
you were the best kind of friend haz
She was happy for some babblers to be kept informed by e-mail and they were very good at sending cards/gifts etc so she knew she wasn't forgotten by the babble community.
she was very happy with your friendship, Hazel.
We enjoyed each other's company even if most of it was conducted in cyberspace.
I have a dear friend from England and we've been cyberspace friends for 8 years. We've never met in person but we've welcomed each other's grandchildren, sent gifts, and we email all the time so I know what you mean.
yes, some friendships in cyberspace feel as strong as real ones. I was missing FM already in chog, but somehow it is different to know she won't be back.
very true sprite
Its at times like this when you realise what a wonderful invention the computer is.......
I know, Fiona was just interested in people, loved to hear about what my girls were doing, what I'd been watching on TV or reading. It was just a comfortable friendship and she used that interest in people to reach out to so many in babble.
she was a ray of sunshine
that sincere interest in other people was so clearly noticeable in everything she said/wrote.
Yes, the fact that she sent ruby fingerless gloves and would remind me when my car was due for MOT testing.
good memories :)
she just made me smile
Morning all, sounds like something sad has happened....
There were times in the chat log when I was literally crying with laughter.
I have to take a break. My daughter has the flu and needs a bit of motherly tlc. Will be back later. And I will be thinking of FM and Roy and Haz and Ata...and all of you who will miss FM.
hi debjed, yes, if you want to know, it is in Haz's profile.
Motherly TLC is definitely prescribed. Bye for now, sprite.
bye Sprite!
thank you sprite..give your daughter a virtual hug and tell her I hope she's better soon
adder
Ooops!......lol
hi
hi herin
Hello, herin.
hi Herin...
How you all today/tonight?
I'm sad and tired herin but happy to see you
Pretty sad.
shocked....
and sad
Hence my icon today
Hey everybody. I heard the news about FM last night. I am very very sad to hear of her death. Haz, your profile says it all. Its a lovely tribute to a lovely lady. May she rest in peace.
hello sood
Hi Soddle. I must say I had 4 hours sleep after reading the news
Hello, soodle.
Hi Soodle
PHone.
But nobody who wanted to talk to me. One of those computer generated calls...
I am having a cryptic crossword night
I love and hate those herin
I got a lovely call today. Someone from the Australian Govt (not sure what department as the accent was strangely very strong) has $5,600 dollars for me. I told them to pop the cheque in the mail
Haz are you going to print out our Babble wishes for Fm's family? Also lovely tribute to FM on Babble FB
West some of the clues in this are bad dad jokes
That's nothing, lynxxx. I got an e-mail telling me that I could get my hands on Col Gadaffi's money if I'd only cooperate.
my husband is famous for those herin
pfft - got that one myself 3/4 days ago - $5m+ wasn't it?
I'm going to be writing to FM's stepfather to let him know how much she is and will be missed. She was an only child and the only other family is far away in Scotland.
Yes, millions in Burkino Faso. ALL the money in the world is in Burkino Faso and everyone dies in airplane crashes.
It amazes me that I'm the next-in-kin to lots of African folks but it seems to be the case.
the IMF could use it
They'll have to get it off me first.
and just what DID you get up to on that African trip Haz
West clues so far have been: exciting reason for golfer to change his socks and the other Stumble caused perhaps by LSD
You may well ask, lynxxx!
Haz that would be lovely. Because FM will be missed.
I know, I know....Hole in One!
and TRIP
I've also had pleadings from poor African princesses whose stepmothers are treating them badly. If I help them, more dosh.
you're good lyn !!
I love cryptics
She will be much missed, herin.
Bad Trip actually Lynxx
back for the last few... daughter is enjoying tv, GBA game and cuddling with Terra. No need for mother. Isn't that marvelous :)
hi lyn, hi lady
Do you know if FMs Step father has anyone to look after him Haz?
Sprite she will always need you :D
hi Sprite
welcome back sprite we need you here
FM said that he has a gardener/handyman and that he was taking a great deal to do with helping out. He was getting meals delivered as well but I know that FM was quite concerned because he is so frail with Parkinsons.
am glad to be here. And proud of Caya that she is so strong in herself. Lol yes lady, I know. She doesn't need me now because she knows she's got me anyway.
thanks west :)
She and Roy spoke every day on the phone and she had been pleased that he seemed to be coping okay.
it must be so tough on him, Haz.
I hope he has good established medical/council help and hopefully some family around who can look out for him
It must be hard. He had sons to his first marriage but I don't know whether there was much contact.
Haz I did have a thought though. Spangle will have someone familiar to walk with now.
well, fireflies... Sad ones. I wish I could blame FM as in the old days and make her laugh.
Some people were asking yesterday about any charities FM supported. I'll ask her stepfather about that but wondered myself if it might be appropriate for babblers to make a donation in her name to their local hospice. That way some good will be spread throughout the babble world. Any thoughts?
well done Sprite
Lynxx I have a cryptic clue that needs solving please: tart gets invoice from a bird (9)
Yah Sprite
Well done, sprite. I'll e-mail you with details of Roy's address etc.
broadbill
Spoonbill?
WHat how the heck did you get that?
Broadbill is the one! lynxxx crowned queen of the cryptics.
perfect, Haz, I'll make sure Babblers can find it on FB.
Thanks, sprite.
broad - tart as in whore/ invoice-bill
I have been staring at that for ages
wow lyn you are good at those!
I'm getting the timer ready to see if she can break the record for the next one.
only easy ones
The other is How to take down a wollen coat. (6)
pullie ;)
Shears
Not that second letter is a l
Fleece!
You see! She does it again!
woot!
That was a fish
Grumble grumble, she had more info than the rest of us.
Sorry. Thanks they were driving me nuts. I have now worked out how you got Broad Bill
lol - my husband actually told me that one...he has done todays cryptic in the Age (but I did do the others alone)
Good for the husband, lynxxx. Mine thinks the ability to do cryptics is proof of a twisted mind!
23 Down. Outrageous authority...R*N*
I am afraid my knowledge of english doesn't cover crypto's :(
Hey that is the one I am doing. Did he finish?
he just needs 23 down
rank?
Thanks Haz!
I was going to say that or Riot
Team babble claims victory.
Lynxx is 20 across Beanstalk?
16 down is WarChest so Ken guessed CardShark!!!!
I think he flummed it myself
hahaha :)
I'm still trying to work out his thought processes...
Lynxx put me out of my misery what is 20 acros
The clue was "Rangy fellow from NSW"...he had C*R*S*A*K
Just a thought, there may be Babblers who are not Facebook members who would want to send a card. Not sure what is the best way to handle that. Oh and hello all.
Clue is Rangy fellow from NSW
please give the question, lady? I am learning :)
Molly, they can email me, if they want. Haz is sending me the address.
Molly, I'll put his address in my profile. I just didn't want to put it in chat.
Oh that's right, your email is in your profile. I will keep that in mind. Thanks Sprite.
Hi Molly
And thanks to you too Haz.
oh even better, that will work perfectly, Haz
anything Lynxx?
Not yet
Haz, about the address... it is UK?
Yes, sprite, SURREY, England.
He doesn't have it?
I've put the address at the bottom of my profile so hopefully people should be able to access it from there or FB.
perfect, thank you
No...his was silly
You're welcome.
Is there a mountain range in New South Wales?
only the Blue Mountains that I can immediately think of
or the Snowy
Only word from that I have that fits is Carss Park
I was thinking ChrisPeak.....is Cars Park a place
cornstalk, crosstalk crosswalk
lol - I had done the Morewords thing too (dnno who told me about that!)
Curses, my cover has been blown.
So it's probably the name of a person?
Would it be the last name of a NSW settler?
Address posted, Haz.
Many thanks, sprite.
Could it be some animal indigenous to that range?
is there a bushranger?
Ah, another element to be thought about. Animals....
We''ll let you know tomorrow
with this much brain pwer we should have something
Visions of worldwide babblers scratching their heads to come up with an answer to an Australian cryptic crossword.
how many letters?
9 letters
thank you... not that I expect to be able to find it, but the hunt is fun :)
C*R*S*A*K (pretty certain those letters are OK)
what is 20 down then?
I had the thought that it might be something Park. Only 950 parks in New South Wales!
can only be cornstalk, I think...
Crikey
how did you get that?
from looking at possible words with those letters in those places. Not from the clue, alas.
Eisenhower - ike....a shout is crIKEy...cry & ike
Ok
I'm laughing. I thought you were saying crikey to the thought of there being 950 parks in NSW.
I vote Cornstalk
I am not quite that 'ocker' - crikey is very 40/50s
morning all
cyruspark, maybe... but that is not a normal word
or whatever
Good morning, TO.
Hi TO
hi TOwl
I like it Sprite - but don't know why it would fit
Good Morning TOwl
I think Sprite is on a winner
Because it says in a dictionary - Austral Slang for tall thin man
Ah, light dawns.
First time I have head of it
wow- Hooray for Sprite!
Neither Ken nor I had heard of it
YAH SPRITE.
Me either Lynxx. Bean stalk yes
omg... lol.. that was just trying to fit the letters in
got to run. happy babbling all
bye TOwl
Bye, TO, take care.
I still need some of the top words but thanks guys
BYe TO

((Babblers))
Hello, Scrabbler.
morning Scrabbs
Last evening I learned of FM's passing. Shocking and sad news.
It is, Scrabbler.
How old was she?
She was 52.
very very sad
Same as me! And we always talked about our birthday being just days aprt.
*apart
That's right.
Haz, had you visited her recently or stay in contact via phone/internet?
I had always stayed in contact with her via e-mail/phone until she went into hospital. After that she didn't have access to a computer but we were able to ring each other and I and others could post things to her. Becky (Ata) was able to visit her a couple of times in hospital but since she was a plane flight away from me, she wouldn't hear tell of me coming across.
good morning friends. I only have a second to chat, but I wanted to say how saddened I was to hear of FM's passing, and tell Haz that I think her tribute to her was lovely, and perfectly fitting the woman we all found so dear.
I am so glad that Ata was able to visit. Was her illness sudden?
Sorry for the questions, but the doc in me is searching for answers that you probably do not have.
morning Trif
Thanks, Trif (you're in the grid today). Scrabbler, I've put details in my profile that might answer some of your questions.
Hi Trif
OK, TY, Haz.
FM was quite private about health matters and while she would discuss some things with me I didn't feel it my place to ask more than she was prepared to volunteer. Does that make sense?
Of course.
Haz thank you for making her real to those of us who only knew her from the chat log. I haven't been around much lately, but FM was one of the first people to welcome me when I began playing.
Eva, so many people have said that. FM reached out and welcomed people into the babble community - she loved being part of it.
And she accepted the blame for all of the problems of the world.
Absolutely. We blamed her for everything and she accepted (most of) it happily.
whilst all the time dancing gaily in her grecian tunic
I'm wondering if there is something we could do on this site, to be a memorial to her?
maybe all lift a glass at the same time
Do you know, that grecian tunic came into my head as well, lynxxx. We teased her about it so much.
BRB.
or wear tunics
I dread to think what I'd look like in a tunic.
oooh nooo... I am so saddened.. now I understand why I haven't heard from my pen pal FM.. oh no
not with my legs!
I don't want to believe it
You would lok lovely in a tunic! they cover all sins, you know!
Aloy, I'm so sorry. I didn't have your e-mail address to forewarn you what had happened.
Haz, I was going to ask for yours
hello Aloy
school run....brb
Bye, Trif.
I feared something was wrong, because she always answered
Aloy, it's my name, all lowercase, all one word at hotmail dot com.
and we would joke about "sooner or later" and just pick up where we left off
ty Haz
and now we all have lost ehr
her
I know. This has been such a shock to so many and even though I knew she was ill, I'm still reeling.
gone too soon..
the PB must be named in her honor
I read about the news on Pam's FB status update last night, just 11 hrs ago, and I was crushed.
Call me thick - I have just realised why I have had a slight headache all day (I never get them)
hi lynxx, didn't acknowledge your hello.. still so shocked
hi Scrabbs and everyone
Yes, although she was pretty good at keeping out of it herself but what a job she made of furnishing it for others. I also loved her Clueriosity Shop with the hoops and snakes and the Phantom jets.
that's OK Aloy - we all are
Hello Professor Merganser
we so enjoyed her sense of humor
and she was so good at taking all the blame
I tried to come to her defense
lol, it was impossible
But she was such a handy scapegoat.
will miss her so much
I often think of Babblers that are "missing" and wonder if they are busy, or have lost interest, but a serious illness was not a thought.
And this grid is no fun. I think FM arranged this one for us.
I had guessed that her mom passed away, and that she was grieving, but I also didn't think of her being ill.. depressed, perhaps, but not ill..
er4/4 is there. She always perked up when that appeared.
Haz, are you doing ok? Talking to your husband and friends?
I'm okay, Scrabbler, pretty bereft to be honest, but it helps to talk to others who valued her friendship.
Spangle and then FM, you have been slammed with grief.
Yes, the two of them so close together has been hard.
ty for posting an address in your profile so that we can express our condolences, Haz
But we'll get through.
Yep.
You're welcome, Aloy. I'll try to convey to her stepfather just how much she was appreciated but if others do as well, it'll really let him know.
Goodnight everyone. Have a good day Haz, hope it stops raining and you can get out a bit
Sleep well, Lynxxx.
I'm going to take a break just now. Look after yourselves and I'll see you later. (And it HAS stopped raining)
g'nite lynxxx, sleep well
fone
Bye!
bye for now, Haz..
Not a word, but I am going to the PB to see FM anyway.
I
I
I'll go with you, Scrabbs..
soon as I get my fingers unsnarled
Look, FM brought fresh flowers, and filled up the fridge with everything we could want.
she didn't forget the cabana boys either
There are cute boys everywhere. One just offered me a massage.
wish I had done my toenails..
These boys do pedicures and manicures. You are all set.
ahh, then I am in the right place
Fiona's Place
Great name.
where the sunsets are always beautiful
good morning everyone
Back to reality now, I must shower and get to work.
4 inches of wet heavy snow this morn:(
hope your day is a good one, Scrabbs
hi crossy.. first snow?
Hi Crossy. I must be going now. well, hey, Blue Mtn needs to rev up.
nope,had a few b4
nope,had a few b4
we have already had 2 previously and a indian summer last week
so.. you can keep the Canadian Cold Fronts up there, please!
i shall do my best
tyvm.. when they swoop down over Lake Erie, we get tons of "Lake Effect" snow in NE Ohio.. and the cold often sneaks down to Fla. too - h'mm, site is freezing up on me, no pun intended.. sorry for multiple entries if that happens..
it is giving me issues as well today
the yappy dog was "arfier" than all the others
I like that word Aloy. It applies to one of the yappy dogs in my neighborhood. : )
hi Molly.. staring at your candle, think I should light one too
hello friends. back.
hi Trif
good morning, aloy and molly
hi Une
Hi Une and Trif.
hello all. beautiful icon tribute, molly.....(((fm))))
hey, trif :-)
Haz has the beautiful one Trif.
morning, all!
hi sue
I never realized fm shared a name with one of my daughters....tha'ts the funny thing about babble names, isn't it? You kind of forget people have real names!
hi, aloy, trif, molly, une!
It is a lovely name
indeed, trif, I need a road map to figure out who is who!
morning, sue :-)
I sure do on FB uusue, that is for sure! I will be chatting away with somene on there, having a great ol time, but realizing half way through I really have NO idea who they are on Babble, and it's so embarrassing to ask!
Trif, you are in the grid today. Here is your chocolate cake.
thank you molly, but could it be a rice cake please? I have recently gained an unfortunate amount of weight, so cuts must be made!
will be back a bit later-- need to feed pups and take them out to pee -- hugs to all *poof*
Silly Trif. Cyber chocolate cake has no fat or calories.
bye, une!
afternoon all..
hi rolin, bye Une
<--- has had chocolate rice cakes. Not worth it.
hi, rolin!
Is it just my imagination, or are certain words repeating themselves daily this week?
na4 is for certain
Bill Cosby put it perfectly about rice cakes. "This tastes worse than the air in my mouth."
lol.. hard to ae6.33 chocolate
LOL, okay then! Actually, it was sort of sweet -- Primo, my eldest, came home from college recently, and I ADORE many things about him, but has always really prized the way he tells it to me straight. I sort of thought maybe I had gained a bunch of weight, but wasn't sure it was all that noticeable. My lovely sisters are always "you look great!" But Primo? Came through the door and set me right straight -- "Jesus Mum! Salad bar already!" Oh, how I laughed....LOVE that boy of mine!
I'd laugh too.. after I punched him
seriously, sounds like a great personality
Me too, punched him twice that is. There is such a thing as "over sharing".
Not at all! I value him loving me enough to tell me the straight truth, and love him extra for doing it with humor
Good morning everyone!
you are a great mom, Trif (-:
hi, car!
good morning car.
hi car.ee
Tertiare at 3 okay for yu today?

You have to hold the ALT key down while typing in the number

TY Aloy!
I am missing 1 N word...any guesses which ?

Here's hoping that playing Babble before work will get my brain in gear
ne7.28 ? that may be the one.. do you have it?
willow?
That's what I do Picklesny! It warms up my fingers!
Yes, I have that one.
helps me, Pickles.. I know it or else I just rationalize the time I spend.. (-:
A willow branch OS 5/10
duh...thanks!@
does it work better if you start with a particular letter until you can see anymore?
sien
the fact that enable recognizes a plural for the de4.5 bugs me. it is inherently plural. A herd de4. There were five de4 in the yard. It sounds like a kindergartener when its pluralized
You just have to see what works for you Picklesny!
ne7/28 more like what stretches across the middle of a tennis court
Trif you are in the grid
Some people go from top to bottom, others go in alphabetical order....
Good Lord! Peri! She is!!!!
esting
its really a personal choice, pickle. I like to try to find at least one word from each letter, and then go back and work away
Good morning Une! TY but I do have that one.
focus, car :)
I go through the grid from left top.. start by focussing on each letter but feel free to go wherever, a "first sweep" through..

(((MOM)))
Hi, mom, didn't know you played this game
Hello Mom!
good morning Trif and (((LBD)))
hi there, Mom
morning all (blahh)
Hi Good Enough!
hi GE.
hi GE
Hi Picklesny, I didn't want you to know. I wanted you to think I stayed busy all day :-)
morning good enough
why doesn't doft count? one dofts a hat...yes?
hi Car., Aloy, GE ((hugs))
can't wake up...don't want to get ready to go out...but nice to see the group here this morning
nice try, lbd.. doff
Good Morning Babble friends
Hello River!
whoops. just realized i should be in the PB for something I wrote about ten minutes ago, but hadn't found yet....maybe if I keep quiet enough, no one will notice. Shoot. did I just type this in the chog?
good morning, River
(((River))) good morning
hi river
nice to see you as well GE
hello river
I get a big kick out of people who send themselves to the PB.
Trif, the cat is out of the bag. What did you say?
I said I ad5 my boy
(Hunting down violation.) You have the department stumped.
oh come let us ad*** him? that ad
I think when you are in the grid, you are exempt from PB violations.
I refuse to accept there are actually 7 n's in the left hand column. it's just a mean joke
Hi Kaplan!
Ahhh, a confession. Is this a plea bargain?
But I found them all! There are !
I KNEW you were in on it too, car!
<---- hoping car. forgets to switch back to the grid and types them in the chat :-)
Good golly. Just found me 7/36 all by myself. I think I may have popped a gasket on that one.
*gently places gasket back*
I have gasket.
I put a list of 6 of them in....
is it the one that builds off the six? (Yes, I found a six!)
Yes it is!!!
brain wave~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*slipping out of the grid and back into bed before becoming a responsible adult later*
sleep well GE
OK. I really must go. Way too much work to be done. I wish you all a good day and {{hugs}} to those who may need one today.
rest well, GO
GE*
Take a nap for me GE!
have a great day Car. ((hugs))
bye ((car))
have a good day, my dear one
bye car, hagd!
I am having Wednesday AM anxiety. It differs from Monday morning anxiety.
You too Mom!
Bye car.
brb Annie has to go out
And to all....*poof*

thanks Car. I'll give it a good shot
Ooo, thanks Aloy
I have some nice happy pills I am willing to share Kap
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
----> opening mouth "baby bird style" to river....
neufchatel (sp?) or butter to spread..
My week goes in a mountain, with Mon and Fri my lightest days. Peak Wednesday.
work phone ringing - damn - be back when I can
maybe that is why they call it "hump day" kaplan?
No humping going on here.
(SORRRRREEEEE)
I did NOT say that.
here either. and yah, I am sorry
whatever. its a sad fact of life, innit?
On this wild and crazy note, I will be off.
gee, to do what, I wonder? tee hee
To find a camel.
I'd walk a camel for a mile.
hagd, Kap.. lol
avoid the toe!
hee hee hee.
hagd, kap
hi again, all, sorry I missed Kap's camel!
'morning, folks
good morning welki, and welcome back sue
morning, welki
hi UU
hi welki
i can't believe i almost missed the volcano! geez
thank yoo lbd!!!
Where there is the volcano, there is also the wager, amen
you get a de7.36 on your report card if you miss the volcano
how do you know when dogs are play fighting, and when they are really fighting?
lack of blood
usually in the deepness of their growls
ack! it is so late!!! must get on with the day!!!
there's really never any 'play' fighting - careful
Good answer!
okay, thanks.
ciao for now, sue..
my dogs wrestle all the time - tug rope, that sort of thing - i think they 'like' it, but i'm probably giving them human characteristics (since cesar milan would probably say it's a 'who's dominant?' exercise)
yes, that is what I figure it is too, welki. but apparently they must decide dominance on a daily basis, hourly sometimes. it does get wearisome
my boys would dominate laps and beds...rarely each other.
I found a great picture of a solitary heron this morning. I need to let it inspire some writing later today.
yep, especially when you have two like mine - five years and they've still not decided who's alpha (maybe that's a good thing, means i am :)
indy is going for "the chop" next week - I can't wait
a new photo, molly?
dogs are pack animals, they are constantly testing for alpha. but they also like to play especially if they are pack mates.
changed icon to FM's sunset in tribute to her.. hope it works
nope, still the old one, sigh
i see it, aloy
oh, good, welki..
New for me Welki...http://tinyurl.com/6pctq3b
must scoot for a bit, bbl.. still have 34 to find
welki, you are an morning and evening person?
Oh perfect Aloy. I love that picture.
my daughter is Fiona, like FM, so I am leaving her as a tribute
raid
oh, i love the silhouette
molly, here's one for you: http://tinyurl.com/7r6ccqm
Wow, excellent photograph
welki, do you ever interrupt your dogs when they are tumbling about? I find that I must, quite a lot, or I fear someone would get hurt. well, that, and I get sick of the growling
do any of these words use x?
time to send hubz to work. bbl to finish
i've been a member of another forum for years, never put his nickname to his real name - he says he won't go "pro" because it would then be work. check out his hummingbirds and sepia landscapes
trif, be careful when separating - these are good sized dogs, right? try not to let it escalate to where you're tempted to stick your hand into the middle of the fray
I mostly just yell at them, and that does it. Even THEY know my "mother of three" voice when I use it!
He's really good Welki. I'm checking out his galleries now.
hehehe, mine look away when i give them ~laser eyes~
laser eyes!!! lol HAHAHAHAHAHA
molly, here's another gallery to check out - this guy IS pro - very pro, very very pro. you may have to register to get deep into the site, but it's free and worth it - landscapes mostly: http://www.lik.com/
*has a feeling molly will be busy for a little while - took me a long time to cut away from those sites*
Oh wow, that tree and the stars is breath taking
:)
hi all
'morning, jm
dunno pickles
well it turns out i am too old to register as a marrow donor
no kidding - news to me, the age thing. bummer :(
60 is max
as we are sharing websites...here is my son's from art school, if anyone might be interested....http://tristanatmassart. tumblr.com/
sorry, jm - if you were considering it, there must be a good reason *stealth hug bachatcha*
My husband is mad becasue the game won't accept 3 letter words
well you get used to it after a while pickles
tieax
Trif, my oldest is now 31. He looks back on his art school work and calls it crap. I still love it though. Your boy obviously has talent.
Why don't i just stay in the penalty box for the rest of the day
i was considering it because uu posted the link on a fb discussion of being an organ donor since. . . well fm died for the lack of an organ donor and i am already have signed up at the DMV and it seemed like something i could do extra in her honor
thanks molly. funnily enough, that is how he looks back on some of his high school work. which makes me laugh, as that was, what, seven months ago?
trif - he's already an astute artist! i notice on two of his sketches that he's already picked up on what happens when a woman turns to her side (and i recognize one of those poses - hands up high, makes you perky (those days are long gone! lol))
no pickles you only have to go there when it is a real word haha
lol, molly, we went the other way -- secondo and I were all...no, her "patch" is wrong, and her left boob looks wonky...LOL!
he told me there was a bit of a flap in his visual arts class this week. A student in his class did a FANTASTIC piece that used coupons cut into a very complicated collage that got smaller and smaller and turned and twisted into a tiny line on a table, which a lady was snorting up her nose. A commentary on how shopping can be addictive, how it is fed to us,e tc. The professor REFUSED to accept it from the student, REFUSED -- even though she had prepared it for her final -- saying it was a drug reference and the professor would not allow it.
sheesh.
at an art school! censorship!
What a dumb ass professor. That is a remarkably clever idea
that's pretty nuts
agreed
I didn't see the piece, but apparently it was brilliantly done, and all the students were admiring it greatly
If that were my kid, I would be making A LOT of noise at the school
should just bring it to a gallery and see if it can go straight past school.
I feel at the very least the professor should have outlined any paradigms at the beginning of the project, so the students would know the limits they were under. it obviously took this young woman a load of time to put together, and now she has to scramble to whip together a final piece. That's really not fair
It's just BS Trif. Art reflects life. Drugs are a part of life, unfortunately. I can't believe an art professor is allowed to censor student's work that way. It's ten shades of wrong.
esp when it's not really ABOUT an illegal drug
she has been there for years, and I figured she just got tired of looking at swear words, skulls, drugs, and whatnot all day. Fine, whatever, but SAY that when you give the assignement
on the whole, it's quite disappointing, isn't it?
maybe the teacher is a shopaholic :)
LOL!
bingo, hursh!
okay, I am still missing one n from the left column. have four fours, one 5 and a 7. what am I missing, please?
hi again, all, quick breakfast so maybe I won't be late to class
hi sue
5 fours, trif -
hi everybody
Good morning, buds!
thanks jbv
thanks, jb .. got them all now!
me too! yay!
hi, judi
you feeling better, welki?
getting better, sue. thanks for asking. still tired and coughing some, but that's expected (ribs are still bruised from all the hacking)
that is a lot of coughing!! glad you are improving.
ha, nbs and nbt!
i think that, if it wasn't for scrabbler cheerleading for me, i'd have gone (more) insane by now
I protest the number of vowels here today.
*watching judi stomp around the chat with her DOWN WITH VOWELS sign*
my o key is missing, so I do too!
and is the x there just to mess with our heads?
Nah, Welki. I'm staging a sit-in so I can drink my coffee.
tirm
not too much coffee -- may instigate a vowel movement
lol, welki!
where did these puzzles come from Alex trebek's closet?
I'm also protesting the heat in our building. It takes forever to come on. And then, when it does come on, it doesn't shut off. So, now I'm freezing. But, in two or three hours, I'll be sweating.
<-- doesn't want to visualize alex trebec's closet (but yes, probably :)
*holds out cup for some of judi's coffee*
No. Mine!
:( *sniff*
i guess i will have to leave so i can drive into town and buy some coffee
:p
i bought a tassimo for the house - an indulgence, but i love it (and love not having to empty grinds (which i spill) and wash a coffee pot)
(and have figured out how to coax it into making a huge mug of hot water)
i can't see anymore words , how about one that starts with a vowel
okay, I am over halfway, nbt, nbs, and I think that will be me for today. have a good day all, and happy babbling!
a snake, pickles - like cleopatra's ad 5/14 (and plural)
bye, trif
here's an id4/5 there is an almost identical word od4/5
don't er4/4 and forget that where there is the volcano et4/4 there is the bet an4/4
personally i ad5/12 my coffee freshly ground
welki are you there? about the tassimo - does it have adjustable levels, for more or less water/ strong/weak coffee? etc
okay on that note i am out of here
hi bye jbv
each coffee disc is bar coded to read the requirements of what you're brewing
bye, jm
bye all *poof*
if you think a cup is too strong, you can add water, but cannot adjust individual brewing times/settings
oh but do you have to buy a specific brand of coffee?
the barcode thing sets up stuff like volume, temperature, time to brew, etc
yes, expensive, but i think worth it if you don't usually use a whole pot of coffee
i'm thinking about it - I love the idea of the convenience and having fresh coffee at a fingertip
much cheaper in the states, though (from what i understand)
less than a minute with no clean up
you can get different brands of coffee, like starbucks or kenco, but they come in little individual discs jbv
my sister has one and is spending about 75 cents per cup - but I think you can get them cheaper
you don't have to clean out the water reservoir?
the discs come in packages - you can buy different blends of coffee, cappucinos, espresso, hot chocolate, lattes .. tea, even
there is a container that holds fresh water and only the water that is used to make your beverage is pumped through the system - every now and again, you flush the system out (with a disc designed specifically to do that)
the brewers go from very simple (and relatively inexpensive) to fancy schmancy and very pricy
you have a better selection of coffees in the states, jbv
Yes I've seen them on sale here for about $80 or $90 on the low end and as high as $200 or more
i have the simplest one at the lake - about $80. you could get one of those, a small supply of coffee and, if you don't like it, either return it or re-gift it
thanks, welki - i'll do some comparison shopping
the one i have here has a water filter in it (which i like, but i haven't had the courage to google how expensive replacements are)
I never drink more than 2 cups a day - one early in the morning, and one about..... right now !! bbbs
(which means that cheap welki will probably brita her water when the filters wear out)
My three daughters and I have Keurigs.... we order our coffee online... ( the bigger the order the less the cost, and no shipping ! ) One daughter has a Tassimo as well, but I think they now prefer the Keurig.
This coffee conversation is making me want another cuppa !!
advantage to keurig is that you can use your own loose coffee if you want
I have a Gaggia, which I love, but it used ground coffee and is a bit fiddly, but makes fantastic Lattes
(and hi, diane :)
so if I may ask, diane, what is the lowest per cup price you've found?
yes.... and we do :-)
i don't mind making coffee but its vacuuming that i need help with
about 50 cents
i'm in canada, jb - everything is more expensive here. but i can tell you that, with coupons and a 10% off sale and a buy 4 get one free - probably less than 50 cents, more like a quarter
yes, pickles, if they could only make a push-button instant vacuumer, we'd all buy it
diane - buy 4 get one free at home outfitters (for tassimo, don't know about keurig)
they have one, jbv, just saw the commercial - it'll even WASH the floor!
what, a robot vacuum?
and the dining room table welki!
I've been buying my coffee down here in Az. at Target....when it's on sale I get 18 for 10.49
jbv - check this cleaner out: http://tinyurl.com/2fsz8vq
i don't mind making coffee, it the vacuuming i need help with
Vacuuming sucks. Literally and figuratively.
I look at it this way.... every cup is fresh and I don't thow out the last of a pot of brewed. Even at 60 cents a cup, it's cheaper than a Timmie's large double-double isn't it, Welki ??? LOL
i think that the more you hate vacuuming, the more vacuums you have - must be a math proportional thing (says the gal who has too many vacuums and still, lots of dog hair on the carpet)
Which I'm missing, by the way :-(
interesting, welki - but cleaning a wood floor is not a high-tech job, in my book
much cheaper than tim's - none in az? dunkin' donuts - not the same
fortunately, I don't do vacuuming - have someone do it for me :) - and yet, I still own 3 vacuum cleaners!
true my husband keeps buying us new vacuums and i keep telling him they won't unless someone turns them on
well, there you go, another proven hypothesis
blowing through for a second--you can get a cup of coffee (regular) at starbucks for 50 cents if you bring a cup
I wish Tim's would move south. I keep asking them to open up in my area.
tied
SWORRY
Thanks, Pickles. But if you're going to screw up, please make it a 7 letter word. :-p
molly, you're in the dc area? just searched .. don't have any idea where they are, but there are two - both in aberdeen proving grounds *lol*
Hey, by the way does anyone know the other pickles, i had to add ny because pickles was tken
Way too far north of me. That's why I said "move south". They are getting there though. : )
they have an online store, if you really crave it.

hi, inge
Hi, Inge!
fy?
It's a wonky one, Pickles.
Fy5: fractured phoenetic spelling. Sounds like "to wrestle or box".
aha! i found one that uses the x, pickes - ad 5/24
R=
hi again everyone. that fy is used a lot in the grid. in places i wouldn't normally think to put it anyway.
29 left. I'll be back to finish this pup later. *POOF*
hagd, judi
i feel like going back to bed, but i have to stay up the whole day eventually - or i'll never make it back to work
you need the rest tho, welki. gotta get rid of that pneumonia
D
sitting here, babbling, is resting - no?
R
DA
kinda, but if you're ti5, then you need to lay down.
i guess. a few more minutes.
lol, you sound like me...*but ma...i dont wanna*
was just thinking that i sounded like a sulky kid :)
hello ev1 finally found my missing 7 fi7 sola gratia sola fi**

fitty is a work "I got fitty cents"
fitty sense
rone
alternate spelling for boxing or wrestling?
ahhh, welki. you still have your wonderful sense of humour!
clue pls for si6/18 have the bumdown
same as si 5/10 with an extra consonant in middle
when i found it, i thought of 'erman's 'ermits, singing, 'i'm 'enerie the 8th, i am'
is there a list anywhere I can't find my last ten
ah, the widow next door . . .
2nd chorus same as the first
:-D
his wives misunderstood Henry's speech impediment
they thought he said bewedded and he actually said beheaded
ty for that fireworks!!!
there was a song in the early 70s (i think) - the guy singing is sounded like he was saying, "i like dweaming..'cause dweamin can make you mine...'
is there a list anywhere so I can wrap this up?
must go to work about 1/2 way thru syl
lickety's up (with no warning)
bye, pickles

Has anyone heard from Annie? She hasn't been around in a while.
I should ask Mom, those two keep in touch.

well, just found em7 and it does sound like a problem "down there"
well.. someone was sitting on a clue about that one a long time last night
lol
these f's are really frustrating
the first de7 has me stumped, hope it is not too fishy
if you made god like ice cubes you'd need a de7
ty ruru
ah, ty ruru.. you gave me the beginning and I monkeyed the end (-:
glad you got it.. didn't know how to clue it
it was a great clue
got the em's aloyisius. Ty

good morning everyone:)
howdy crossy
I still see the sun icon tho I switched in honor of FM.. what icon do you see, crossy?
i see the sun
rats, I'll try again. Ty, crossy
some days it take a bit of time
Aloy, I see the sunset
good morning everyone
::sigh:: trying to rewrite my friends "about me" section for her photography website, and coming to the conclusion that i dont know how to write like this anymore! doh!
howdy flosey
Oh Flosey, what a beautiful icon
hi crossy, do you have snow yet?
thanks Molly
hi flosey, hi Eva.. ok, I refreshed twice.. glad you have the sunset, Molly
and I still see the sun.. weird
that is strange Aloy, when I change icon, I go out of babble and reenter, that does it for me
i imagine after a few refreshes,and a wiping out of temp files and cookies it will be there
h'mm, ok.. exit, stage left, will be right back
testing, one, two three..
ugh
i see the sun
yup, didn't work for me either
took 2 days for my new wolf to show up once
ok, FM's sunset will hopefully show up one of these days
Aloyisius...... I see a beautiful pink sunset as your icon picture
well, diane.. that was FM's icon and I wanted to post it in her memory.. I'm glad you and Molly see it
hello Diane
And now I must go change mine.... I'm several days behind, and although I only saw FM in chat, I will post one of my own magnificent sunsets.... I hope it's small enough resolution.
Hi Flosey :-)
when it's my time.. I want everyone to tell bad jokes
i have my dirty limericks all ready ruru
punny punny jokes
oh for heaven's sake.. finally saw re5.14, opp. of subtract done again
thanks Aloy
yw, it looks sorta funny but it works
ty,needed that one
well, we do monkey some pretty strange combinations that work here
am finally "seeing" words, took a while today
brain hasn't kicked into gear yet
must need another cuppa
crossy is gonna get a t-shirt made up with the numbers 2.5 on it in big red letters..what is even funnier is that the mrs was all chomping at the bit to cut me off of real eggs and start making me used that cartoned egg white juice they sell in the stores lol..think ill have eggs for brunch again today:))
couldn't even see ro4, the voice of the lion, this morning, geez
crossy is doing happy egg dance
yuppers 2.5 or a 96 in the u.s doctor measure;)) happy dance indeed
but does not change the fact that i need to lose 40 pounds;(
how do you like them best? scrambled, poached, over-easy?
indeed crossy, I cannot imagine taking eggs out of diet
everything but eggs benedict and poached..everythin g else is wide open for me
ill even eat poached in a pinch:)
I loved 3-minute eggs as a child.. haven't fixed them in ages.. tomorrow morning for sure!
with toast soldiers
when we have the gang here, I sometimes poach the eggs in a tomato/peppers, onion, black olives, etc, mixture - quite popular
umm, soldiers?
toast cut into 2 inch wide strips perfect for dipping in 3 mion egss
sounds so delicious, flosey
min
ah.. am used to having them mixed with torn up bread
mm that is different
and a bit of pepper on top, teeny pinch of salt
getting hungry for them now.. hey it IS lunch time!
when i want to do a good round of eggs ill get my crepe pan and cook blended eggs real thin in cremery butter,then shave 5 year old quebec smoked cheddar on it and add shaved smoked ham and granulkes of finly diced fried sweet valencia onions and roll them and serve with toasted english muffins and gooseberry jam and slices of beautiful peameal bacon
well, if the first re5/14 sounded odd, look at the second one
ah now crossy, I am getting hungry
when are you opening your restaurant, crossy?
and peameal bacon has always been a favourite - don't see it here
thought that would work for you flosey
lol aly
maybe you could write a cookbook? Crossy's Kitchen
crossy, you could do a 'breakfast only' thing
Culinary Masterpieces from Crossy's Kitchen
i can do breakfast 300 ways,i am sure,but hate short ordering,but i love cooking for family and friends
ah, now that really sounds classy Aloy
Classy Crossy's Culinary Masterpieces
there ya go Crossy, start writing
i can make french toast in such a way,that each slice of texas style break will soak up 2 entire large eggs and when cooked to a golden brown will be almost 3 inches high,just ad a sprinkle of brown sugar and a squeeze of lemon,or stwayberry preserves,or a dash of real #1 grade light syrup
bread
Bacon on the Cover of the book, of course
but of course bacon
ah yes, that would be the perfect background Aloy
serve french toast with a perfectly cooked farmer sausage and some home fries
you could hawk it to the "idjits".. what do you call them, crossy? I forgot
we use #3 maple syrup here - son complained last time he was out, he prefers the #1 stuff
of course he does even here a quart of #1 will run 12-15 dollars
I love the darker syrup
have you tried some of the new birch syrups then flosey?
have not heard of birch syrup crossy - how do you like it?
veryu dark and has a tang to it
ah, interesting
ok, fw to send me off to the kitchen, am famished now! see you next time, ciao for now (-:
the new breed of syrups,big with the cutting edge trendy setds
you see, we have the broad leaf maple here, can be tapped but don't get much, hardly worth the bother - import from the Ont. Que.
also, in the Fall, broad leaf maple turns yellow, then brown, no beautiful REDS
yes,we are lucky wityh our sugar maples,when the #1 syrup is done right you can have just a tiny bit,colse your eyes and almost see the tree it came from in your minds eye
close
lol, wondered what kind of a ritual colse was
50 pails of raw syrup=1 gallon of #1
yes but wasn't it fun going to the Maple bush in spring when they served pancakes on a Sunday morning
indeed,and they would give us a ladle full to make sugar cones
would eat them till your whole mouth was frozen lol
did you make taffy in the snow?
we did
after all that sugar,you would go home to mom and dad just wired for sound lol
Mom grew up in the Eastern Townships of Que. lots of it in that area
they do good syrup there
yup, relatives would bring us a pail of syrup and a pail of maple sugar every Spring
and cheese
gosh, hadn't thought of that for years
no, they didn't bring cheese
see,you start with crossy,s food porn,and you never know where you will end up
I just remember scraping the sugar to put on cereal, etc
we were poor folks at all other times,if it was not tapping season,i remember lots of that awful corn syrup
oh yes, remember that yukky stuff, we didn't have much either crossy, that was during WW11
in the fall if my dad got a ticket,we would get a deer or a share in moose meat for the freezer
i ate moose so much,that when we could actually get a roast of beef,the thing tasted bland to me
we didn't even have a refrigerator until I was about 13, kept things in cool basement, - no central heat
my grammy used to keep the butter,eggs and milk etc in a pail down the well
that was when we moved to a larger home, central heat, etc, etc
ah yes, that was another way
she just died 3 years ago,almost 100 and fiesty as ever,her heart just wore out
wow, good for her - tough life was also a healthy one
good welsh stock..as tall as she was round lol
aha, hubby is of welsh stock, his gramma came over, all by herself, when she was 16
when she came to canada to visit in 77,she had to stand on a chair to twist my dads ear lol
i was born there,we came over in 66
oh, many years ago, hubby had a welsh exchange teacher in his department, said teacher and wife came to visit us last Summer
was interesting to see him some 20 or more years later
cool
well Crossy, nice chatting with you, must take a breakfast/read paper break, bbl
tk flosey
gotta love having a lunch that is pretty much ZERO points for weight watchers. :)
And what, pray tell, is a zero points lunch?
spaghetti squash with a "sauce" i made up of carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, and canned tomatoes
oh, and brussels sprouts
Hmm, the sauce sounds good. But I am not a squash fan. I like brussels sprouts though.
But I can't bring them to work for lunch because we have a "no foods that stink" zone in our office kitchen.
spaghetti squash doesnt have much flavor to it. (im not much of a squash fan either, other than butternut).
all the flavor comes from the "sauce"
It sounds very healthy Eva
it is. only reason it has points at all is because i added some grated parmesan to it. and i also brought a sweet treat. :)
Much more interesting than my cottage cheese and fruit. : /
i whipped this together last night when our crock pot chicken was "meh"
I don't cook chicken in the crock pot. It gets too mushy.
ive tried a few recipes, and none of them have turned out well. im thinking of relegating the crock pot to beef + ribs only
our chicken gets SO DRY
thankfully, while the meal was ruined, the chicken was salvageable. shredded it + will make tacos out of it
That sounds good
i dont mind so much when recipes go wrong, just when food gets wasted as a result
I agree about wasting food, that bugs me.
hi all.......clue please for tr7/44 please??

now that gave me a flash back,remember those k-tel record commercials where you could get 50 of your favorite songs all on a single long play quadrophic disc? then when you got it and put it on your mums old high school portable record player you found out that the reson there are so many songs on it was because the grroves were cut very,very fine and each song used 1/4 inch of space.you could almose see the vynal shaving as that 1/2 stylus from the 50,s cut itself a new direction across the record lol
uh oh. sorry
Hello Dorens : )
just grabbing a few minutes of soothing babble to resore sanity
*Hands Dorens the warm, lavender scented neck wrap*
*inhaling deeply*
portable record players were sooooo cool
yes, but in retrospect they were so big and clunky!
dont think i ever had one - had to play records on the lounge radiogram
our portable played 16,s (never saw those) 33 1/3 ,45,s and 78,s
i was forever losing the plastic spindle adaptor for playing the 45,s so had several cardboard disks made up that did the trick
and now i must head out in the snow for a bit,but before i go,i give you crossy,s tidbit of the day!!
A substance called Ambergris, found in the ocean or on the coast and originating in the intestines of sperm whales, was a main ingredient for many popular perfumes (it has an earthy scent).

thnx words
What a cute little boy, Words.

thnx - he's my youngest grandson - aged just 4 at his big sister's Bat Mitzvah in July!
oafier is a word I'd expect to see in enable
any clue for the left O? need it for nbt
or4.5 rhymes with Mr Pitt
ty :)
this is not a fun grid
You are right there, just listed with 75 to go
still 99 to go here....words are dribbling in at this point
woo! just got a string of 5 words, made it to 50%
hi all, lunch break here
hi Sue
88 to go...I need to close my eyes for a minute. bbl
hi, lynxxx!
sorry I missed ruby - haven't overlapped with her in a while!
Oh Sue, just saw your note about your StepMom. How sad, I thought she was on the up and up. Condolences to you and your Dad - even though not together at the end they had many years together
thankx, lynxxx, I wonder if all this past year was due to her being so sick
my dad is doing ok although he is sad, of course
I think you are probably right about her and the last year. Hindsight explains many things
even towards the end my dad was still trying to provide for her - he still cared for her very much
Is her son communicating with him now...I hope so for both their sakes
he called me, lynxxx, and I called my dad, so for now the communication is still through me
my dad was talking about texting him, though, so that would be a step in the right direction
I am not seeing these words today - just took 10 minutes to find fo7.48 - although it is a clumsy combo
de7/48?
ha, that got it for me, lynxxx! Clumsy indeed!
aah ty for the fo7
de**** would be something/one that was twisted or not normal..add in a vwl after the e
or try de & to tell someone something is to *n**** them
ty lynxx
my initial thought was demented, so took me a minute
em7?
ha, interesting word (the de7)
ends like an common afflication of your rear end
i would think a teacher would be into de7
(or at least rhymes with it)
hi jmc
maybe the de7/36, jmc, not so much the de7/48 (unless I have god-like delusions)
not my rear end - LOL
ty
hi should i have a sunset rather than a candle?
haha and you don't have god like delusions? what an unusual prof you are ;
;)
of course that was a royal we
no prob lynxx... I'm sure the queen would love to be included on that clue
no jmc
You dont use that expression over there?
yes, we do
fa7?
clearly I am having a 7 issue today
more so end for the fa7, means more gimmicky
ty
ty lynxxx
sorry to see your stepmom died uu
at least none of these have been fish so far
I think they have all been here before but seem really hard to find
i personally decided this morning no one gets the pb for the word died today
I will represent them before the powers that be if needed
*hands out law fi** card*
for free, jmc?
(just want to know for sure before i need services ; )
Are you officially back in business jmc?

It's Weird 7 Wednesday.
ra7 is pretty normal
hey molls
WSW
ra7 and ne7 were the only ones I found w/o help from the chog
I don't recognize anyone with all the candles.
me too hh, except the fi7 which i monkeyed by chance
and I still only have 5 :)
but i still have 3 to go, so i am hopeful
both ra7s are normal
i have 10 - all weird so far but the 2 you stated
i have 9 to go so i am not hopeful
must not give up hope, jmc
81 left ehre and I'm tending toward listing
or listing toward listing :)
i have 26 left an listed at 50 to go
it helps some
actually should be doing homework
but not for the 7s
it helps a lot
i should be prepping my talk for tomorrow... but we babble
true true
for me a talk would be easy--i would prepare by standing up where i was going to give it
homework not so easy
I am making the PP slides
or should be

yes

ok, I am heading home, see you all later!
Babble chog is weird- funny who we connect with and the impact when they're gone.
Not the easiest to type with but. I think I can get use to it
sorry- not very profound...
but it's true kap
Some people we "know." some we really know. Some it's just the persona.
room to invent one another. But also to "get" someone.
Cyberspace is a bizarre universe that never existed before. I know that's not an original thought, but really...
i had a friend... who i only know via political website we chatted everyday
Did you think at all when you were a kid that there would be this whole other universe? I thought it started and ended with Wonderama.
he was a mormon gay republican and we disagreed on everything but we became good friends.
lol that is so cool, cos :)
Sonny Fox.
he died in a car accident. and it devasated me even though we never met in person
Mormon gay republican- there's an internal battle.
oh cos, so sorry to hear that
Nancy Boy touched us all too.
its amazing how relationships can be strong that are formed only online.
Virtual reality...all reality is virtual.
I wax metaphysical.
I wax and wane.
yeah. one good thing the internet gave us is an opportunity to form friendships that may have not been possible if not for the internet.
Wane Newton
John Wane
al gore :P
Wax on, wax off
lol champ
I was on a message board for a while but had to leave when a couple of people got too psychotic. But the other people are FB frields of mine and I feel as though I know them
Wax job.
waxy Gordon.
Whack?
there are a good number of whack jobs too :)
speaking of WHACK , Herman Cain
Anyone watch Boardwalk Empire? VIOLENT!
My son does. I saw it once, and agree Kap
John McCain should have picked Cain as him running mate.
Dizzying thought!
The McCain-Cain ticket.
Vote Cain. He's Able. :P
*groan*
I watch boardwalk because I have gotten iterested in the drama but I have to cover my eyes.
I'm just a girl who Caint say no.
apparently, none of them can!
He don't lie, he don't lie, he don't lie.... MCcain
Whoo, boy.
If I ran for president, would all the young men I harrassed come out of the woodwork?
heh heh heh
no. unless given money :)
I like the Bachman-Palin ticket. would that be interesting or what?
i'd shoot myself if that happened because Americans are so stupid they'll probably vote them in
OMG just think.
Can you imagine? Acid trip!
i'm voting for jill stein for president.
I just can't believe anyone would run for President with those kinds of skeletons in their closet. Seriously!!! They find out EVERYTHING. So who's telling the truth here?
Jill Stein - yes! Gertrude Stein too!
the only way i'm voting for Obama is if polls show a very tight race in Colorado.
I am telling the truth.
I hope Obama would use a second term to be the great president we wanted him to be in the first term.
i have a suspicion that will happen. he just wants to be re-elected.
then maybe he'll grow balls and govern as candidate Obama promised.
My thought is he will squeak through this time...
he said his thinking on "gay marriage is evoluting" -- what a wuss out.
They fought him every step of the way--they tried to sabotage Clinton the same way too.
the difference between clinton and obama is clinton actually stood up to the republicans.
At least that's a nod to Evolution.
evoluting?
"fine. shut down the government".
Kind of, Cos- he also got "welfare reform" and Nafta.
usually I don't chat but was told never to argue about politics or religion. All I want to know is isn't there one person who is honest, smart, knowledgable about foreign affairs, etc. etc. that doesn't have anything hidden in the closet??????
I am waiting for the pendulum to swing back.
yes .... thats true.. and DOMA
It's been a loooooooooooong rightward swing.
mary: Jesus Christ himself would never be elected President :)
he'd be accused of being socalist.
Yeah, don't forget DOMA. And bungled gays in the military so all we got was don't ask, don't tell.
Nice to see you Mary, and I think the answer is... NO
probably not, but it is a shame
i don't give Obama credit for ending dont ask dont tell. Nancy Pelosi deserves full credit for that.
You should see my closet, and OK--I should lay off the politics.
and harry reid to a lesser extent
lol yes.. back to the grid :) 22 left for me
FDR.
:)
we need someone like FDR or Ike again.
ctm.
Eleanor Roosevelt.
eleanor was the best.
this grid is something else. I usually go at least half way before listing but am no where near, maybe cause I'm reading the chat
My mom's hero (heroine). Great lady. Before you go, go to youtube and check out What's My Line when Eleanor was the mystery guest.
now i'm on the re words. ugh.
I am avoiding the grid, and bailing soon.
at the FDR memorial in DC, they are selling a book of love letters between eleanor and her supposed lesbian lover. i thought that was cool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX0wmS3 gV0I
It was a "Boston Marriage" and more common than one would think
i believe abraham lincoln was rumored to have soemthing similar as well
Not liking the grid either Kap.
Historical context - it wasn't the same as the Castro - same-sex affections go back to the Bible (Naomi and Ruth, david and Jonothan) but the idea of queer identity is neew
right. that was what i meant. :)
I'll discuss anything to avoid this grid. Casinos in massachusetts- bad idea.
oooh re words done.. they werent as bad as i thought
Climate change: real.
Captain Kangaroo: also real.
Tooth Fairy?
mr. rogers killing a man with his spare hands once: myth.
I'm still trying to find out.
santa claus: REAL.
Spare hands or bare hands?
bare ugh lol sorry
Are spare hands like disposable thumbs?
Well, if you're gonna kill someone, probably could use all the hands you could find!
lol
ctm
two left....
go cos
Santa Claus: Real...The Tooth Fairy: Real....The Easter Bunny:Real...Pennywise: FAKE!!! Spray him with your asthma medicine!!!
good for you cos! I won't get close
fireworks
Whoo cosy!
eat battery acid!
huh?
yay cos!
double HUH?
thats what the kid says to pennywise when he sprayed him wiht his inhaler
What a simple message. Believe in what is good, don't believe in what is bad. We are referencing Stephen King's "It".
He completed the grid but lost his mind.
Ohhhhhhhh....that's the one that annoyed the crap out of me, and swore me off him forever.
Oh.
lol :)
ctm. I say ctm.
No, Cos is actually one of the most grounded people there is. : )
He's one hell of a romantic.
yep. i'm a bleeding heart socialist who believes in God and Santa Claus. :p
God save us, every one!
I must go now.
I love the story in "It". About kids who fight off evil by believing in what is good and pure. I didn't find one thing annoying about it.
bye kap :)
bye, kap
bye Kap...bye all..giving it up. have a good one!
I agree Molly. Stephen King's masterpiece. Not the Stand.
speaking of the stand, did you hear they've hired ben affleck to direct the remake?
hello is there a usable list anywhere?
yes TO.... lickety's page is working now.
lickety's is up
the attack page has been removed.
ty
bye all~
*Struggling to breathe* They are doing a re-make of The Stand and Affleck is directing? *Cough, splutter*
yes. sad isn't it?
they're doing it like they did to lord of the rings.. 3 installments or something
wow i cannot believe i listed ad am hardly knokcing them out here :/
a
i
hello again all.
hey, red :-)
35 to go -- taking a break *poof*
And who, I mean WHO, could possibly be Pennywise other than Tim Curry?
hi everyone!
probably Jim Carrey, oh no... :P
ai
*Faints dead on the floor at the idea of Jim Carrey as Pennywise*
he pretty much ruined the Grinch for me, sigh...
though he did bring a certain flair to the part, I suppose.
have never seen the grinch with carey, can't bring myself to do that as I love the animated seuss too much
Pennywise as in stephen king's "IT"?
I was just thinking your cartoon today, lbd
hi kje
yes, I just speculated on a possible person to play Pennywise if there were to be a remake, someone mentioned a remake of The Stand.
tis the season, kje. i'm trying to bake all my presents with a few exceptions...hard to bake a book or jammies for the grands.
Jim C. was a worst-case scenario.
I like the animated Grinch. just not a fan of Jim Carrey.
brb, need to talk to hubz about our cell phones.
ahhh, nothing but d's left....
the animated grinch is my fave x-mas show
go rbud!
oh, I love it, too, Boris Karloff is the coolest!
i always get teary when the grinch's heart grows
almost anyway
me too!! know just what you mean... and I loved the glorious toot-tootling (extremely dangerous-looking!) swoop back down the mountain in the sled, haha!
and... fireworks here, yay! :D
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
whooooo hooooo rbud!!

Good evening Babblers
I am not babbling so signing off. Just wanted to say "hello"
helllo everyone. I just came and saw all the candles for FMitch. What happened? It is posted anywhere?
Hello wht!How are you doing?Nice to see you for a split sec
bug - look in Haz's profile

Hi there Bugsaw!How are you doing?Nice to see you briefly
*POOF*
bye min
hi all
it is posted on facebook. basically she died waiting for a liver transplant. very very sad
I just came back from reading about it. I am so saddened by this news.
hi jmc and bugs
Hi lbd. I hope to ba back more permanently again now that Lickey is fixed. I feel so out of the loop! I hope people weren't thinking I was a snob
|)
nah
no people reacted differently to the lickety issue
Hi jmc and bugs di
Welcome back Bugs. I don't think anyone thought you were a snob. : )
hey wht
wow i am so getting no where in this grid
Hi wht. It was nice to be back but this news has thrown me a bit. I have a nephew in hospital right now with the same problem.
Ditto JMC. I haven't finished a grid in weeks. There are just too many insanely weird words and I get bored and vamoose.
why do i think iode is a word?
no snobbery, bugs. we missed you tho
stalled at 108 -- time to go out for supper, I think :)
bbl
bye cyber have something fabulous
enjoy dinner, nan.
Bugs, I'm sorry to hear about your nephew. I will send out some prayers for him.
you could add a letter to the front of iode
The grids lately have seemed harder. Or is it just that they are harder without Lickety?
but there is lickety -- he came by last night and it is all fixed
i think the latter, wht. but then there have been some grids that even with lickety they were hard
ty bugs maybe that is what i am thinking about
thanks Molly. while they were looking to find out why his liver is giving out they found stage 1 colon cancer. The world needs more good news!!!
goodness bugs i am so sorry!
good news...it's not snowing here. :-)
((((hugs for everyone))))
i do think oafier makes as much sense if not mo** than some words
Yay for lbd's world!
hi stiddy
Hello stid!!
sending my t's and p's to you and your nephew, bugs
((STIDDY))
i found the granite counter top i wanted for $1000 less
(((bugs))) so sorry about your nephew. I hope he'll be okay.
wow jmc! that's pretty good savings!
<--excited about saving that much money
thank you all . He is such a good man
that's great news, JMC. even better will be when you come in and say it's all DONE!!
haha next year i am afraid
more good news from jmc! I will be feeling better in no time
hey LBD! GUESS WHAT???? I had my first early-morning call for same-day subbing today and I had a GREAT time!
stiddy, did you buy the crv?
not of the same caliber but it does help to hear good things when you are blue
I wasn't sure how I would handle it, but I think it was actually easier, because I didn't have as much time to worry/obsess about it! LOL
fun for you and the students today!
YAY stidmama. Will you have to change your handle to stidteachergeneration2 ?
Good for you stid.
no LBD, I didn't. Mother did... *grin* and gave me her old wheels instead!
thanks wht! LOL bugs!
nice stidg
lol, I'm glad you have wheels, and i hope stidgmere enjoys the crv!
It was mostly fun -- a few bumps, of course, but not unusual for that school or those kids. There are some families in constant crisis, and so some kids who are un-nerved easily.
takes a special person to be able to step in and sub. kids are into routines and subs break up that routine.
clue for the fi7 please
I think she will, LBD -- she wanted something smaller than her van, and yet big enough for a big dog and several people to ride in. I think it's a great compromise for us all.
oh the heck with this i am listing
hang on wht, thinking up a clue
good plan jmc. this is supposedto be fun
fi+belief in a higher power is the clue i found
Yes, that is true LBD. So I didn't take it wrong, just made sure that I was clear with expectations and turned minor issues into jokes. It seemed to work.
Listing sounds good...
fi + belief or philosophy of religion of natural order
good clue
((Bugs)) Healing thoughts out for your nephew. That's tough news your clan got. I'll hope for the best.
belief in dogs as a higher power? ;)
listing is good...saves on the sanity factor and pulled hair
strange word. ty. lbd
sure, why not, jmc
yeah, a lot of the 7's are odd
jmc, you would have to change the second vowel to mean that.
yeah some days it is just not worth the agony so i don't even worry about getting half way or fw
thank you Molly and all the rest. I believe in the power of prayer
*just got the joke* lol
need O on the left for NBT please?
ha it actually describes a few right wing conservative christians
or4, or + **vertisement
or4
gah. dum fishy or 4! tahnks all!
or thanks.
I do too Bugs. There is a candle lit for your loved one in my place tonight. Keep us posted on how things are going.
strange fish
np stid. i had to ask for a clue for that one too.
I think this migraine is going to make me stop now. Thanks for the help. Got down to 118, and ready to turn in.
back for a few more:)
I'll see you-all again soon! *poof*
bye stiddie
bye stid
rest well, stiddy. hope the migraine goes quickly
my mrs is on day 12 of the same migraine:((
it is not a pretty scene
oh gee cross, hope she feels better soon too! *real poof*
any clues for the ae 6/33?
poor elegant!
well caffergot,you take when you think you are getting a migraine..lol as if! amatryptalyne makes you all woozy for half the next day..so it is back to the old remedys for us
isn't there something they can give her at the hospital crossy?! I feel so badly for her
make Like an eagles nest? ae6.33 use the sometimes vowel at the end
sorry maj i am looking for that one too
maj, to turn into a gas, perhaps.
there are other meds,but they are like 50-100 dollars a pill
found the eagle nest
dark and quiet for elegant. i'm so sorry she's hurting so badly
can she take imitrex?
The second ad5,14 please
a + de4
yes. imitrex is what my ex, the brilliant neurologist recommends... otherwise it's a trip to the
first for letters of eagles nest then add veri** the answer
these things are a mystery to me lbd,i get 2 regular headaches a year,and they are so rare,it take me a bit to figure out what is happening and i take a tylenol or 2
ER for a shot of something
a+re++++ a coupon
Imitrex is great
ad + double vowel + consonant
and what does that cost a pill?
Another new word for me.
dunno. got freebies from the ex
in canada not as much as here
ty ruru and lbd
probably $10 each or less
hi ru
hi dorens
hi ru
hi dorens
i know there are wonder migraine pills out there,but at that price per pill it may as well be on the moon
hi jm.. hi doren
and oh so worth it! hi j, ru, cross, wht
ill look those up ruru,if they are under 10 dollars
i'd go without the bacon to end a migraine
imitrex works well but still costs about $16 cdn. I always ask my doctor if he can give me some samples to help with the cost. sometimes he says No but other times I get 4 or 5 for free
does elegant know what triggers her migraines?
I can't live without them crossie.. do you have medical insurance..it's covered
imitrerx?..ill look into it for sure
he's canada remember ru--different game plan there
probably nitrites in the bacon does it
we do not have insurance poilcys for health care..no
it is also generic now crossie
<--wonders if the migraine rate of babbleland is greater than the general population
probably
or other sulfides, but could also be barometric pressure.
generics are great
well since babble is 90% female,it is migraine skewed lol
too much brain for too little space
yes, it does seem to be jm. wonder what that is about... more than just female
last one need ae 6/33 anyone please
i don't get them but once or twice a year. when i do i'm down for the count.
I get one or two a month
there must be 100 ladies for each guy in babble;)
mine are even less than that dawg... once every few years, but oh boy ... when i do!
i wonder if migraines tend to cluster with wordy people
maj. first four letters of eagles nest + the definition is rather if** (as in vague)
we know where the action is:)) lol
not quite crossy! lol
2000 to one
people who got carsick when children are likely to suffer migraines
lucky for you ru
ty ib fireworks
brb, need more tea
whoooo hooooo MAJMOM!!
i was horrible with car sickness as a child,i could not read or look down for any period of time and had to have a clear view of the road

come on crossy, i deal with 8th grade boys during the day
assets.. smashetts.. all breasts are nice
i thought guys liked tight buns. i'm so confused over fashion
if crossy wasn't married i would guess he was in the 8th grade ;-)
lol
ruru is at least in the 11th grade
some men never really leave the 8th grade, jmc
there you go ru, spoken like a true man
i rest my case
There is a grade after 8'th???
LOL
haha
haha wht
for some, whit.
Maybe they taught all these funny words in 9'th grade.
finally back from work
clue for the fo7?
sorry why but you are way too mature you need to work your way back down to 8th grade
welcome back, pickles
fo4.7 + pt of do

Is that doing something ahead of time?
what men do before sex ;-)
i think so, wht
beg?
hey your came out ahead of crossy ru what do you want
No wonder I didn't know the word.
actually, ru, your comments weren't so snarky... mostly crossy by my reckoning
(neither did I wht)
wow, its hard to keep up tonight
i didn't think ru was being snarky
welcome to babbleonia.. it does get like this
chat is a bit on the silly side, pickles
i think things are pretty calm tonight
no, he wasn't dawg (says the loyal ru defender.. well at least most of te time0
after a day of working in an out-patient clinic, silly is just right!
ru seems to be behaving himself!
geez i said he was in the 11th grade!
I have a lag
does it hurt
well you came to the right country pickles
and that was the snarkiest comment he got.... truly not bad
clue for the last or6?
hard to do rapid repartee with a lag
<---licking wounds
then again, he is being rather gentlemanly tonight...... so far
The or6,21 after the east.

crossy and mrs crossy are starting tai chi classes in the first week of january:)))
right now as it is,i am so unlimber,that if i took a hard fall ,i am sure i would pull 5 or 6 muscles and i cannot let that be
my brother teaches yoga
sweet sleeps, JMC.
HHi all, babbling on my phone
hi UU
i am pushing 50,so i think it is time to add something to my routine so i am not a frozen block of wood by the time i am 65
suze!!
tai chi is very good for working on balance. good for you and elegant, crossy
Hi, lbd and cross!
i think it is the most suited with our bad kness and my 3 herniated disks and 40 pounds of extra lard
wife has 30 pounds extra
So playing babble on the fire but annoying because no scroll bar so can't see words entered
Always good to work on balance
indeed
my dad was doing some tai chi but got bored with dancing with a chair. the instructor was afraid the elderly folks would fall and hurt themselves.
Same here's, Sherlock
Also some weird autocorrect stuff going on, sorry
well,i am not so far that i think i need to dance with a chair,but i am hoping for a good routine for flexability,weight loss,balance and all the rest
how about help with pa word?
can you turn your tablet to see more of the screen, shirl?
my mrs own the asus transformer tab,and it does babble amazing!!'
pa + **vide and conquer
when i play babble on it,i use it in portrait mode
Yep can turn fire to landscape
fire..is that a kindle?
Doing portrait now but no scroll
well, my dad is 85 so dancing with a chair was a good start. his pt is really making him do things he didn't think he'd be able to do again. walking with a cane instead of a walker!
i think life without scroll would be really frustrating.
here,we would use the kbo vox,as kindle is mostly useless outside the planet U.S.A lol
kobo
i was looking at the kobo vox. looks nice
Also haven't been able to get kindle files to work on the fire -- the ones from project gutenberg
well, kobo was started in canada!
god bles my barnes and noble nook
it was indeed
my mrs uses a sony
swithcing computers brb
any clues for the 7s out there? dont have any yet.
still debating on an ereader.
I got one that's a football team
that was for mkg
ty picklesny. got it.
any other 7s before i go to sleep?
de + vowel + bra maker maiden****
me7, in the strip of land down the middle of a road + consonant.
and i'm off to my pillows. the other 7's are just weird.
stick a fork in it i'm done cyt
we got a sad story today
one of the weathermen on TV committed suicide last night
that is so sad Jen. I wish there was more happiness
i personally nor publicly knew him, i didn't watch this station and he was on in the morning while i was at work
afternoon all
hi mrp
hello mr p!!!! I am so happy the list works again
hi jen
hello everyone -- back from supper
how are you all doing today
suicide:(
hi nan
hi bugs... so am I!!
hi nan
hi mrp
well, had an 'interesting' visit from the department of education.
can you tell us more mr p?
my daughter is sick, and the school basically doesn't believe that she is
oh dear, mrp, it must be serious if she has missed that much school -- what's wrong?
I had that happen when one son was too depressed to attend. He was not truant. and again when his celiac disease was out of control
Hi there, everyone. Going mad here - only need one more for FW - it's si6/18. Can anyone help?
tr7/44?
3 shape, Shir
si 6 - double the middle consonant of word before
I have one that sounds like a German ending dofith
they say she has 'emotional problems' (this is what the deputy principal is pushing on me) and doesn't want to come to school... she is an A+ student, in the selective/top classes in this school. She is not depressed, she is sick and it takes her a very long time to recover from illness
Got that one, teach, thanks.
but they don't like that her attendance is down to 75% for the year.... cause that screws up their numbers when rating the school
will they not give her some homework so that she can keep up? -- shouldn't be a problem for a student like her
thx dof
so, this lady, Penny, turns up at our door, no appointment and totally unannounced... asking to talk to my daughter
nan, she is not behind in anything.
oh I see. the stats are more important than a child's soul..... how sad
she keeps up very well with her school work and gets top marks in exams and assignments
si 6 - rhymes with baby cat
So what happened with the board of education? -- will they accept a doctor's letter?
this school is just out of control with attendance ratings.
well, this is where I am really concerned about what the principal/vice principal is doing... every single day she has had off has been accompanied with medical certificates
I think I would be tempted to write to the board of ed complaining about the school admin's attitude!
so why.....??? why did they send a Health and Social Liason Officer here??? to our house??? in the middle of the day whilst Maddison is in bed sick??? Do they not believe she is sick??
nan, I am going to be doing that, cause it is also discrimination. No other student who misses school for being sick is required to give a medical certificate for 1 day off!!
if a child is not at school, we are required by law to tell them why... that is all. If they are away for more than 3 days sick, then a medical certificate is required. I have given them everything they require... not one single day is not accounted for.
That did it! Thanks, Bugs and teach! Now, can I help anyone?
this lady shows up, comes into our home and asks my daughter questions and my husband too???.... and personal questions too. Unreal!!
How old is she, mrp?
de 7/48 please?
she is 13 dof
God shape, cybernan
cybernan - de7/48 - godlike in form or nature.
your family has had more than its share of stress mrp. some people are just insensitive. I am sure you answered their questions properly
all her curriculum requirements have been met and she has exceeded the schools average
i gave her all the medical certificates and showed her the door.
well, time for me to go. bye friends
night, mrp
ty jacula -- looking
have two of the godly de 5's
3 godly ones now
* 5's that is
cybernan - take the first 3 letters of any of the God de5 words and then add a word for any shape or ***m.
bye mrp
ty jacula -- new word for me
y/w cybernan.
fi 7, please?
fi + the5/14 God word.
ty jacula
In other words, a philosophy that relies totally upon God to provide all answers and rejects science and philosophy.
y/w cybernan.
Any more clues needed before I wander off?
not seeing the 7's tonight
de7/36 = to devalue of all the praise given.
Hello all -- jac, I just read your profile -- I was "Cartlandised " too -- those were fun days.
em7/36. Like the em6.24 before it is another word for 'piles' or 'haemorroids'. Nice, eh?
fa7.48 - more inclined to fall for short-term fashions.
I was too busy today to continue -- got over halfway last night.
fo 7, please?
Hi Jilli. I thought you were 'Cartlandised' too but could remember for sure.
*could not*
cybernan - fo7 = did before.
I still have the picture...
me7 = the 3rd degreee of a minor or major musical scale.
Jilli - post it! I think it's on my pc somewhere, but not sure where.
ty -- silly word
ne7/28 - more like the thing fish are caught in.
ra7/36 - sent a message over the airways.
ra7/32 - they plundered the 'Lost Ark' according to the film.
cyber - I think you've got the last 2 7s, which are tr7/32s?
Jilli - just looked at your sunset icon for Fiona. It's lovely. Thank you!
Hi. Is there any USA peoples about?
Not mem Herin, but Hello anyway.
Hey
Have my icon for Fm too
Only Canadians and me here, so far as I can tell. But maybe a lurker or two might emerge now you've asked.
Herin I am in USA
Herin - thank you also for your candles in the sunset for Fiona.
I'm tempted to open up the old jacuzzi that Lola used to bathe in whilst FMitch was cavorting with the cabana boys, if she hadn't managed to nick Mr. Clooney off someone, kick E4/4 god of love out of the closet under the stairs, and nip into there with him.
LEaf I need someone I know in Atlanta :( Trying to help a friend
Hi leaf. Jac I think FM and Nancy would be fighting over the cabana boy's
Sometimes, I could not believe such 'debauchery' before I'd even finished my first cup of tea of the morning. LOL
OH :( hope it turns out ok Herin, if I can help I will
Jac you give great hints tyvm :)
eros
shoot :( dang so sorry
Nancy boy would have loved the early days with Lola and her fella. He wasn't there then though; still just a kid.
tfgrrl - thank you!:-)
Leaf she just needs a kittie sitter
jac -- you and haz will certainly miss FM terribly -- sounds like you had a lot of good times together. The rest of us will certainly miss her presence here.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok good luck with that ... I am in Chicago LOL
O yes Cyber she will be missed. I started a year later
Leaf seems everyeone I know is not in that direction
Herin - what was Lola's Babble boyfriend's name? I can't remember.:-( I know they got together in real life but it went wrong after about 18 months.
Lola? sorry not familar
what happened to Fmitch ? I been away a while
Leaf FM passed away on the weekend
Oh, okay. I'm sure Haz will be able to remind me when we next speak.
oh I am so sorry to hear that ............ my deepest sympathies to you all
Leaf, Fiona died on Monday. She'd been in hospital for some time, waiting for a liver transplant. Unfortunately, it didn't come in time.
ty jac and Herin............. I truly am sorry to hear this news.........
I remember speaking to Nancy Boy often.. and was so sad to hear of his passing as well....... I am usually just a lurker ...mostly come in to relax and make up words
Yes, it's not so easy for people who don't know anything about internet groups to understand. But, the people you talk to every day for 6, 7 or more years, even if you never meet, are just as much friends to you as people you see in 'real life'.
Here's Jilli Cartland (please refresh or go out and back in)
oh I know Jac...........I have met some of my chat friends, but those I have never met but have chatted with for many yrs are just as important to me. do you all remember SoozyQT??
she introduced me to babble many yrs ago.........
Ouch, jilli! I'd forgotten how scary that pic was.xx
Leaf, yes, I do vaguely remember her.
HI Jill
I loved her so much I flew to England to visit her..... in 2006.... met her in chatroom......... she passed away a year ago and my heart is broken
Leaf I do not remember her sorry.
she was my dearest friend
she was my dearest friend
she was my dearest friend
jilli - if you think I'm putting my Cartland pic up again, you're dreaming. Actually, all the pics 'might' be on my Flickr feed. To be honest, I can't remember.
Leaf - I'm so sorry to hear that.xx
Leaf sorry to read that
I only joined in 2006 so missed SoozyQT.
she was a fiesty Rebel rouser from the UK..... a wonderful woman...... and she visited the world from her wheel chair.... thru the internet :)
jilli - mine and Haz's pics ARE on my Flickr feed, but not yours and FMitch's.
I don't think mine is on my Flickr feed either
Wasn't it Ata who did them?
Leaf - that's the beauty of the internet - you can talk on the same level.
jilli - Ata did some and I did some. Ata did yours.
hello everyone
Oh, I see -- didn't know you did some of them, jac
Hi cos!
hi cos
Of course, some of the newer people may not know who Barbara Cartland was
jilli - mine were far inferior to the one's Ata did. Shes got photoshop. I haven't.
i'm scrolling back and i have to agree. i had a friend who i never met but talked online everyday. he died in a car accident and it really broke my heart. online friendships can be so beautiful
Cos - yes.x
yes Jac............ after she was widowed she got herself a computer and taught herself to navigate it and became very savvy w/ them... what an inspiring woman........ and I am so blessed that God put her in my pathway....
jilli - do you really want to subject young people to pics of Barbara Cartland?
A neighbour here who is a single lady recently met a man online -- he has moved in with her and they're getting married in April. Very nice guy.
*googles barbara cartland*
Oh I've seen her before
yes cosdem .... had a friend that happened to as well.... BigTiger :(
no need -- just had pearls, poodles and a blonde wig to Jacula's icon
Good morning all - condolences to FM's friends and family
**add
hello ursh
wasn't meryl streep's character in she-devil loosely based on cartland?
don't know, cos -- never saw that movie
Hi Ursh. Sorry I was helping a g.f on the phone. Just told her to 000 me if her family drives her nuts and we will get her
After my hubby left people in my life would tell me to get out and go looking 'because the man of your dreams isn'tt just going to appear on your doorstep'. I tried getting out, even endured the well-meaning friends doing dinner parties and taking me to 'singles' nights. What a bloody nightmare!
Jac the thing is the person you need in your life will always turn up
tr 7, please? - don't have either
three tr7s...
tr + vowel + fo4, tr + vowel + so4
dang it cat just scared off my foot warmer
right, have the last one cos -- looking for the first 2
tr + vowel + half of not forget
ah ok just clued all 3. hope that helps?
I then met a man, we were quite honest that it was theatre outings and other mutual interests only, and we'd go to the theatre together etc. He was a park ranger and so we'd often talk about his job, and he also led historical walks through our city centre. He was a nice man but, as we both knew, there was no 'spark' between us. Anyway, one evening, after attending an art exhibition opening a friend of his was giving we went back to his house and he invited me up to his (spare) bedroom in which was a computer. He sat me down and introduced me to a website called Friends Reunited. It looked very interesting but I didn't have full internet access at home at that point and so didn't check it out properly until a few months later.
ty cos
I checked out the site eventually and was posting something on one of the message boards when a woman replied to me straight away. We got chatting and the chatting thing expanded far further than just us. One night, three of us just exploded into the 'members only' chat space and from there history was made. It's all in the book of the site.
pi 5/16, please?
apple pi* plus slang for thank you
online slang for thank you
The short form of the rest of this story is that I met a guy on there I seemed to get on really well with, then we chatted on MSN and then, actually, he DID turn upi on my doorstep unannounced and I took a chance after we kissed goodbye after that first meeting and we're still together 9 years later. Long may it continue.
aw such a sweet story Jac :)
awwww
duh - ty cos
Sorry to take up so much of the blog with that, but I was trying to say the internet's not all bad.
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for all the help :)
i met ryan online as well.we've been together 7 years now, married for 2.
wtg nan
My friend set us up. I thought she meant the other guy and not mine :D 8 years nd counting
We met at her birthday then she conned him into the office party so I wouldn't be alone. Then we all walked about the city at night. Then he drove me home and as it was really late he stayed the night under his own blanket. Now that boys is how to win a heart
Good night everyone -- too tired to start another one :)
Night nan
'Night cybernan.
cos -AW!xxx
Herin - Ilove hearing other people's how we met stories.
the internet is a great place to meet people if you know where to look
cos -exactly.
And not one of us went on dating sites!
i met ryan in a chatroom!
chatrooms can be scary places, but not if you know what you are doing and how to spot 'not right', which is sometimes what I do here (the spot not right).
right. im saying i lucked out ;)
ugh i just ate the last cookie
Jac he is a gentleman
Heck I met my birthfamily on FB
oh wow
My birth sister sent me a message asking if I was this name and this school. I honestly thought she was a friends sister from primary school. Then she rang the next night. I nearly fainted at the store
I have met a few people from various forums and chat rooms, and I also speak by phone or webcam the ones that are too far aways....lasting friendships can be formed, but as Jac said some can be scary
Our first kiss was just brilliant, I'm sure I must have told this story before? He went out the front door and I hung over the doorframe to say 'goodnight'. Somehow, we got drawn together for a chaste goonight kiss. Neither of us expected the sparks that flew. We both went 'Phew!' and then he walked away halfway down the front drive while I watched him go. And then he came back to kis again to make sure he hadn't been mistaken. And that, as 'they' say was that!
He did go home that night but it wasn't long after that we became a couple.
hi diz!
Herin -FB or Friends Reunited re meeting your birth family?
Facebok
Hi Diz.
hey Cos, did ya get my email?
Hey Jac and everyone
I've had that feeling, Jac. So, so wonderful. More than wonderful.
