have you started home yet, dart?

12:40 am

home now....made a stop in KC last night to eat, play and shop...got home today at about 3pm

12:40 am

<---was praying for a kansas snow storm yesterday

you had good weather?

12:41 am

60 degrees yesterday ruru

12:41 am

no problems on the drive...just very windy

12:41 am

hi

that's good, except for wind... glad there was no snow

12:41 am

hi westy

12:42 am

can't help asking if you saw any crazy little women there dart

12:42 am

in KC?

have all my "stuff" for wedding, except waiting for my clutch purse I ordered... final countdown

12:42 am

yes..it's a song

12:42 am

ooh. I'd like to get me some westie

12:42 am

getting close dee

12:43 am

then you know where to go ruru

Jan 21st westie

12:43 am

saw a lot of crazy people there....especially last night at the BBQ place

crazy people all over lol

12:43 am

KC is known for its bbq

12:44 am

we love it

12:44 am

dee is the bride in a dither?

12:44 am

or just her mom?

lol west... she has been pretty calm so far... but I expect a dither is iminent :)

12:45 am

you sound pretty organized

12:45 am

hard to believe it's almost here

fingers crossed... the planner is calling the folks now who haven't rsvp'd so they have a good number...this year has flown

12:46 am

good idea having the planner do the calling

definitely takes less time than us calling...

receptions have gotten so costly, they have to have a definite count

12:47 am

that's so true

12:47 am

going to leave 50 for tomorrow -- early bedtime for this kid...goodnight all!

we have reservations at hotel, flight and hotel for minister... that's about all I care about... and where I need to be when LOL

12:48 am

1:09 am

did I read that you had a power outage this evening flosey?

1:09 am

yes for 2 1/2 hours west

1:09 am

lots of wind?

1:09 am

no idea what happened, we werent having high winds

1:10 am

we had some the other night and I'm surprised we didn't lose power

1:10 am

west, try the Babble Community page on FB, maybe, it's an open group, I see a post from Dee partway down

1:11 am

you should be able to see that page, I would think.

1:11 am

I don't do FB ..thought I might be able to connect through my phone

1:11 am

we have had high winds earlier, wondered how the ferry ride would be for the kids but they called as soon as they got home, apparently was quite calm

1:11 am

Oh, I thought you were looking on FB, sorry. :)

1:12 am

I wonder how many are trying to connect with Alec Baldwin after that airplane fiasco

1:12 am

oh don't be sorry rbud I'm probably the only one in the universe who isn't on FB lol

1:13 am

I resisted for ages. ruru isn't on either, so you're not alone.

Hi people.

1:14 am

hi neil happy belated birthday

Hi westford and thanks... but my birthday wasn't belated, it happened on the usual date. ;)

1:14 am

ha ha

1:15 am

hi Neil

1:15 am

flosey sounds like you had a nice visit with your girls

1:16 am

I'll have to remember that one neil

1:16 am

it was wonderful west, thanks - their visits overlapped which was nice

Well it's "belated happy birthday".

Hi flosey.

1:16 am

and William was the prince of all

How is Jilli doing? I sent her an email but she hasn't answered... is she ok? Out of hospital yet?

1:17 am

she was just here..is home but seems tired

1:17 am

yes Neil, has been out since before Christmas, her son is with her now

Oh. Wonder why she doesn't reply?

Oh good.

I'm glad to know she's at home.

1:17 am

flosey that's good to hear..was hoping she wasn't alone

1:17 am

Morning Neil and Happy New Year to you and to all . It is my grandchild's birthday today and she was almost but not quite the first baby in 2001.

1:18 am

I think she did come home to quite a few emails, Neil

Hi scouser and a happy new year to you too!

It was my birthday yesterday... Dec. 29 and you missed it, scouser. :P

1:19 am

hello scouser..our friends had a New Year's Eve baby too..named him Justin..for Just in Time to get the tax break

1:19 am

good one west, how fortunate

1:19 am

and belated birthday greetings Neil

1:20 am

Lack of knowledge is a wonderful thing ... but not always. If I am still addicted to Babble in 2012 I will try and remember - Hydra will remind me I guess

Lack of knowledge of what?

1:20 am

your birthday

I don't think there's any cure for Babble addiction.

Oh, well just check my updates on profile each time you're on here. I keep them up... usually.

My profile should probably come with a language warning though, lol.

1:21 am

I have had the t4 to be competitive about it

I haven't had t4 for much lately.

1:22 am

big NYE plans?

No bigger than most people's I guess.

1:23 am

sure

1:23 am

single guy living in LA

Not single.

Haven't been for some time.

1:23 am

do tell

I think I just did? ;)

1:24 am

no

1:24 am

am I that much out of the loop?

Uhhh, yes.

1:25 am

I get confused about w4 day it is on Babble. Did you hear about Samoa and Tokelau who have just skipped a day in their calendar?

1:26 am

that's too cool..I wonder if they save the days up and have a year when no one else does

1:27 am

I like the i4 of them actually uprooting and sailing in the direction t4 achieves it? (cant get my h4 around whether it is east or west)

1:27 am

west

Well you know... not being in touch in a while might put you there, I guess. Oh, speaking of calendars... know how everyone's talking about the Mayan calendar ending this time next year?

1:28 am

yes well they ran out of artistic space in which to carve it?

Well my dad posted this tweet about that: "The Gregorian calendar ends tomorrow. I can't believe this isn't freaking people out"... he has a point, wouldn't you say? Haha.

1:28 am

what's the skinny on that neil

1:29 am

ooh that's good..your dad is very good

1:29 am

ditto for the Gregorian - parchment only comes in animal sizes

1:29 am

I was going to say amazing but I hear it's over used

Yeah, he's not bad I guess. ;)

Great influence and role model... a few days ago when he was down at his local watering hole, sitting on his barstool, writing and tweeting some of his poetry, I was razzing him pretty badly about it. So he told me, literally: "fuck you... get a JOB." Nice huh? And people wonder why my writing/blogging tends to be peppered with expletives? Haha, look who raised me? :P

1:36 am

great sense of humor

Yeah... never any dull moments.

1:38 am

have you two always been close?

Well yeah... we all are/have always been.

1:39 am

that's nice

2:36 am

How many words today please

83

2:37 am

Thanks

2:49 am

3:02 am

((((((hurshy)))))

3:02 am

Oh lovely sue, I do like a good wedding

3:03 am

had tonsils out tuesday. did not get instructions from doctor about regular meds during use of codeine. think i am having withdrawal from something else.

3:03 am

oh dear, hurshy, can you get in touch with them today?

3:03 am

oh no.....have you seen someone?

3:04 am

will maybe have husband call

3:04 am

i was on such a low dose it is hard to believe i would have withdrawal

3:05 am

it's just unpleasant - bad dreams and stuff - doesn't seem to be actually dangerous

3:05 am

can anyone clue the 8 please?

3:05 am

but as you say very upleasant

3:06 am

sorry button only have one of the 7s so far

3:06 am

just dreamed that odious woman at work TOOK MY CAT.

3:06 am

I'm assuming the cat is fine?

3:06 am

yes

3:06 am

it sounds funny out loud. or out... write.

3:07 am

no not at all, when things are that real in dreams they are very frightening.

3:07 am

I have a wh 7 and a ti 7...what are the other 7's

3:07 am

i think it made me tense all up leading to increased pain in the throat.

3:07 am

I have the wh one sorry

3:08 am

times like this when it's 4 in the morning here i am so glad to be a babbler and find people online

3:08 am

oh I'm sorry hurshy - is it the middle of the night with you as well

3:08 am

Katie, the wi one has to do with complaining

3:08 am

yeah i'm not really brit just wannabe

3:09 am

Let's hope we can distract you a little to chase the dreams away :)

3:09 am

oh there is an ri one as well button

3:10 am

got Katie, thanks

3:12 am

gosh now that i read about it i really don't think my doctor has been properly handling my meds.

3:14 am

i need scrabbler.

3:15 am

is there a help line you can phone hurshy? We have a line set up we can ask this sort of question to

3:15 am

i don't know, i can't talk bc of the tonsils

3:16 am

i need to have my husband do it when he wakes up

3:16 am

ahhhh never thought of that sorry

3:16 am

it's ok thanks :)

3:16 am

preciate people's suggestions

3:17 am

there is ra7

3:18 am

I've got to go now but you take care of yourself, wake hubby up if you need to!

3:18 am

ty katie

3:18 am

bye, katie!

3:18 am

8 is tr

3:19 am

minus one vowel for tr7

3:20 am

ha, got the 8!

3:20 am

at least my babble ability appears unaffected

3:20 am

nbs (with a zillion blank tiles)

3:29 am

oh and my grandmother had a small stroke on thursday. such a wi4 over here that i'm instead obsessed with my own symptoms.

3:32 am

5 words to go, two are 7s.

3:32 am

oh got one

3:34 am

got a 4 - 2 fives and a 7 remain, the greatest of these is the 7 (obviously).

3:34 am

Which sevens do you have? I have six of them

3:35 am

ma, ra, ri, ti, tr, wh

3:35 am

last one is either A or D

3:35 am

ai, ra, ri, ti, tr, and wh

3:35 am

a!

3:35 am

So it's the ai. You'll laugh when you get it

3:36 am

i can't laugh, that would hurt.

3:36 am

ok got it laughing inside

3:36 am

Then try a LOL. Ironically, it's almost never out loud.

3:36 am

tis true tis true

3:36 am

D5 remains

3:37 am

Hmmm is the ma a gerund too?

3:37 am

no

3:37 am

but it's not weird

3:37 am

ooh i'm done

3:38 am

Yay!! (I still have nine to go...)

3:38 am

if you watched it's a wonderful life for christmas you'll have seen the ma7 recently

3:39 am

3 and 1/2 hrs to go down under....Happy new year!!!

3:41 am

Got it, hurshy. Though I started looking for evil banker first ;-)

3:41 am

lol

3:42 am

ok, wedding photos are up on Facebook!

3:45 am

nbt

3:45 am

I know this isn't an official Babble stat, but this grid has got to have the highest percentage of gerunds ever.

3:46 am

babble could be like baseball (just found a baseball word) with every possible kind of stat...

3:46 am

i wish there were a way to have an alarm go off here at my house if scrabbler turns up

3:46 am

And then we'd split the babble community into stats versus scouts...

3:47 am

Ha ha Jan, like there is anything official about Babble. The anything goes word game. : )

3:47 am

We already have lots of stat acronyms--NBT, NBS. Just like RBI, OBP, ERA

3:47 am

did you know this is the third-smallest grid on the 31st of the month? (don't get too excited, I made that up, but you get the idea :-)

3:47 am

Oh, there are rules alright. Not written ones, but rules none the less.

3:48 am

ugh did the mayans indicate when in 2012 the world would end? i could really get on board with that right now.

3:48 am

late December, I think, hurshy, you should be feeling better by then :-)

3:49 am

Well, I won't bother grading next fall semester's exams right away then. Just in case.

3:50 am

I think for me it will be after grades are due anyway (unless I've retired by then, which I may do)

3:50 am

hello everybody

3:50 am

good call

3:50 am

Hi Ruby

3:50 am

hi, ruby!!!

3:50 am

3:51 am

and hi, molly!

3:51 am

you too, ruby, very nice!

3:51 am

Same to you Ruby

3:51 am

OK I'm officially stuck. Five left and none of them are showing themselves.

3:51 am

3:51 am

Lovely wishes Ruby.

3:51 am

i can try to play GWJIM

3:51 am

3:52 am

are you still having a wonderful time, Sue?

3:52 am

I have not been playing much so I've really missed you folks!

3:53 am

And we have missed you Ruby. What's the status of the outdoor capon? : )

3:53 am

One a, one i, one m, and a w. (I just found the p/6 I was needing.)

3:53 am

I fed what I could to the (lucky) pups and tossed the rest.

3:53 am

let's see, a, do you have am4/6

3:53 am

it wasn't very good this year

3:54 am

oh i should have asked top a or left

3:54 am

All are 5 letters, speaking of stats.

3:54 am

I am having an absolutely fabulous time, ruby!!!!

3:54 am

ok am5 sailing term i think

3:54 am

Top a it is.

3:55 am

ih5 babblet

3:55 am

today is a bit of relaxing, then tomorrow we are off to Jerusalem and then to the Galilee

3:55 am

Oh course, thanks hurshy.

3:55 am

ma5 opened a large mouth i guess

3:56 am

Another fishy one...OK now it's just the last w/5

3:56 am

wh5/22 i think is a brand of cleaner. or a comic book noise.

3:56 am

it sounds like a wonderful trip! Our various snowbird friends have arrived (not staying with us, fortunately) and, although we had one good snowstorm, not it is gloomy and rainy

3:56 am

now*

3:57 am

Comic book noises: pow, blam, bop...

3:57 am

yes like that

3:57 am

And a brand of toys, the wh

3:57 am

wh5 is what happens to me in lexulous!

3:57 am

it actually rained for the wedding, which had to be moved inside (which was fine) - this may not sound odd but the annual rainfall here is 15 mm. I think we got all of it yesterday.

3:57 am

Ooh, got it! Though I would have guessed a double consonant if I were spelling it.

3:57 am

me too

3:57 am

grats jan

3:58 am

did the desert blossom?

3:58 am

And so to bed. At just before 2 am.

3:58 am

It is technically a hyphenated word, but as I said, anything goes in this odd game

3:58 am

(and I will take myself off to the PB now, hope there is some vitamin C there - I am coming down with a cold)

3:58 am

not that I could tell, ruby, but I haven't been out much today

3:58 am

zinc you need zinc

3:58 am

have to go, thumper is afoot.

3:58 am

No getting a cold. Flying home with a cold will not be fun.

3:59 am

I hope to see you later. Wh5 that cold, sue!

3:59 am

{{molly and everybody}}

3:59 am

now i just need my husband to have a sleep study

3:59 am

once the stores open again tomorrow I can load up with remedies, right now it is citrus fruit, gargling with salt water, and hot tea

3:59 am

You're so right hurshy. Zinc is the closest thing to a cure that we have. Beats the heck out of echinacea.

3:59 am

bye, ruby!

4:00 am

yeah an MD i knew who was into holistic and alternative stuff turned me on to zinc and i was like why are other doctors not on the zinc bandwagon??? but i guess it is more popular now.

4:00 am

I am glad to hear that zinc works

4:01 am

It used to be pretty nasty stuff, gritty and metallic tasting. But now they have all those tasty lozenges.

4:01 am

diff people react differently though, some find vit c hugely effective, whereas i never found it much help

4:02 am

zinc nose sprays can be dangerous - people have completely lost their sense of smell

4:02 am

oh the snoring!!!!!

4:02 am

I never travel without zinc lozenges in my little first aid baggie. Also, real sudafed, in case I have serious congestion during the flight.

4:02 am

oh yes i do not go for nose spray just tablets

4:03 am

my cat's name is a word ma6 nickname ma4 so i can't talk about him today :(

4:04 am

Hate to Babble and run, but it's really, really past my bedtime. Night all! And thanks for the clues and the company.

4:04 am

if I feel a cold coming on, I eat tons of vitamin C - as long as I don't see myself peeing it out I figure my body is using it - didn't bring any on the trip, though

4:04 am

night jan

4:04 am

night, jan!

hello

4:06 am

hi, elves!

hello uusue2

im a newbie here

Happy New year everyone!

time

4:15 am

hey, elves, try to be careful to put grid words in the "add word" box and not in the chat (but don't worry, it's a mistake we all make sometimes)

4:16 am

If you read the "help" above, it is actually pretty useful in explaining the game

4:16 am

and welcome!!!

4:29 am

ok, off to lunch (the last official wedding function). BBL!

5:09 am

Copied Dee's list to my profile if anyone needs it.

5:46 am

back from lunch....a whole afternoon with nothing to do!!!

5:57 am

Well then, put up your feet and enjoy yourself.

5:58 am

exactly my plan (once all the kids get safely on their way)

7:00 am

how many words..... please and ty

7:01 am

83 words

7:14 am

ok, kids are on the bus, all is well!

7:15 am

Sue, are their young kids? I thought they were all adult age.

7:15 am

Ugh, there

7:16 am

ty Molly for Dee's list. finito!

7:17 am

am 5/12 plz

7:17 am

Yay LBD! It was short and sweet. Why do I think the first grid of the New Year will be huge?

7:17 am

Happy New Year

7:17 am

a + central street, Ivesy

7:18 am

a + popular name for a street

7:18 am

they are adult kids, molly

7:18 am

yup, a quicky for sure. Although mixed feelings for a bigger grid. Hubz has decided we're painting the kitchen cupboards today.

7:18 am

ty both

7:19 am

and yay lbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:19 am

Shalom, UU

7:19 am

Well LBD, it will be nice to start the New Year with a fresh look in your kitchen.

7:19 am

shalom, lbd!

7:20 am

hi all

7:20 am

more like a fresh mess, but it will lighten the room up a lot

7:20 am

Hi SueF

7:20 am

hi, sue!

7:20 am

hi sue

7:20 am

I made a wonderful Veg soup last night and slow cooked it for today, yum

7:20 am

of course it is Dec 31st and it will be 60 deg.

7:20 am

sounds good, sue.

7:20 am

I went from dark to lighter cupboards in a kitchen once. It made a wonderful difference.

7:20 am

I am ready for some soup weather

7:21 am

I am just fine with this mild winter weather. Keep it coming.

7:21 am

I went Red for my cupboards and love it

7:25 am

didnt mean to kill the chog

7:25 am

we are utterly stunned by the idea of red cupboards, sue :-)

7:26 am

I came out wondeful. I have black marble counter tops and black equip.

7:26 am

and my wall paper is cream with different flour seed packets

7:26 am

what does the 8 start with?

7:26 am

and the floor is a beigeish tile

7:27 am

tr8/50

7:27 am

sounds great, sue!

7:27 am

the red is pretty much the one on the bar when you get the wrong word

7:27 am

ty

7:27 am

I love it

7:28 am

I had to have a few ma7's before the first stroke, but it worked well

we just did new cabinets

finally. I would have done something like red countertops if I lived alone, but in deference to kids, went neutral

7:31 am

I love the new in an old house

It looks great anyway, after years of broken wood.

7:31 am

I can't use red for decorating as that color agitates me. I use Earth tones.

7:31 am

my house is from the 40's

7:32 am

but I keep the wood floors and beadboard ceillings

mine is 1895

7:32 am

Ooo Kap, I love old houses.

7:32 am

wow kaplan

7:32 am

are you in an historical district

7:33 am

mine is about as old as yours, kap (1892, probably)

7:33 am

I cant imagine what you both have done to the house. I had to up my elec service from bob and wire to a todays box

not so much district, but we have a historical placard. It's a densely built city of many triple deckers, and victorians

7:34 am

oh, and the plumming.....

Sometimes I want to live in a little carriage house with no junk

7:35 am

lol

7:36 am

I gave away the junk.

sometime midcentury, all the victorian touches went out of style and people carpeted their homes, took out the stained glass windows, and got rid of the ornate details that were out of fashion. but historical preservation did come back eventually.

what to do with husband's junk is the sad story of my life

7:37 am

for christmas I had mary, joseph and christ with the northern star over them. that was it. it took 4 min to put up and 4 to put away. My neighbors are still crawling over the roofs to take the lights down

7:38 am

what kind of junk?

7:38 am

where do you live?

7:38 am

fireworks!

7:38 am

I put my stuff on Yahoo Freecycle and trust it goes to those who need it.

7:38 am

congrats sue!!

7:39 am

Two words Kap, yard sale

7:39 am

i love freecycle... have given lots of things away on there

7:40 am

kap is your husband still alive and with you?

7:41 am

ah, new years eve and the word di4 is in the grid

7:41 am

whooooo hoooooo UU!!

i

7:45 am

it's easy, just get a tonsillectomy, this is followed by not eating much...

except ICE CREAM

7:47 am

How are you feeling today Hursh?

7:47 am

even ice cream i haven't wanted much of

7:48 am

i am feeling... ok at the moment. it helped to read on a website and find that other people do just as bad if not worse. am a bit nervous because they confirmed what the doctor said about it getting worse again before it really gets better - turns out that is cause it hurts when the scabs come off.

7:49 am

but i do hope scrabbler turns up as i have a related but sort of not related question.

7:51 am

jes might be able to help too, hurshy, she is a vet but many of the issues are similar (and she speaks pretty much the same language :-)

7:51 am

found 60 - may be back on before new year. If not, happy first moments of 2012, all!

7:51 am

i'm still not a fan of codeine and this whole "as soon as my head starts to feel normal it's time to take it again" thing but am trying to remember it's temporary.

7:52 am

oh my question is about mental health meds so pretty sure not a vet issue.

7:52 am

pretty simple grid today, dan - happy new year anyway!

7:53 am

can't hurt to ask if she shows up and scrabs doesn't, hurshy, some of those meds are used for animals (believe it or not!)

hello all

7:53 am

is there a pharmacy that is open that you could call? Sometimes pharmacists can help with med interactions.

7:53 am

hi, TO!

7:53 am

i can't call anybody, cause i can't talk.

7:53 am

am still waiting for husband to wake up.

ooh no t feeling very well today hursh?

7:55 am

not great but surviving. just need to ask some questions.

have you asked dr about a different pain med? i had dental surgery and was given something else when i said no codeine or derivatives

7:57 am

(((HURSHY))) the ice cream, jello and popsickles aren't helping? Is KJE still on? she's a doctor

7:57 am

well this is the thing i realized that i think the weirdness may be more due to NOT taking a med i was already on rather than the codeine itself and i kinda want to get off that med anyway so am now wondering if i ought to go back and taper off or just go with it, since i was on a low dose anyway.

7:59 am

hey but do not worry this is the comforting thing i discovered last night, i'm not SUPPOSED to be better yet, i'm doing better than a lot of people at this point, so it's not like something is going awry really.

well that is good

7:59 am

feel better soon, Hursh!

8:00 am

i'm off to be constructive. Happy New Year everyone!

Hi do you know if anyone has posted a list yet today?

bye tabby!

8:41 am

Will you have Babble?

8:41 am

As usual I will fall asleep by 10 or so, then be awoken by the fireworks show at the ski resort across the valley. BOOM*BOOM

8:41 am

Will you be able to see them Scrabs?

8:42 am

scrabbler!

8:42 am

i have question

8:42 am

Not while horizontal in bed. Haha.

8:42 am

yes! i will have babble--but i may be done by then :-(

8:42 am

Scrabs....Hurshy....Hurshy....Scrabs!

8:42 am

I could take a walk so I have a view of the slopes.

8:42 am

Hurshy, I heard you were searching for me. Are you ok?

8:42 am

horizontal is the best position in bed

8:42 am

"blue mtn is open scwabby .grab yer skis and get up here

8:42 am

i have been on low dose (.5 mg) clonazepam for number of years, prescribed for insomnia. nobody ever mentioned that after 9 weeks it ceases to work so i guess i've been placeboing it up for years.

8:42 am

depends....

8:43 am

I woke up sideways in bed today.

8:43 am

So are you sleeping well?

8:43 am

car!!!

am 5/12 clue for fireworks, please

8:43 am

well i had my tonsils out as you know and am now on codeine which makes me sleep and so i thought oh don't need the clon. but have been having weird dreams (had tonsils out to work on the sleeping more).

8:43 am

; p

8:44 am

you have a point car but i am alone so horizontal is best

8:44 am

Personally, I always have very funky dreams on codeine.

8:44 am

just feeling very weird dizzy lightheaded and dreams weird to point of feeling like hallucinations.

8:44 am

Hi magazinemom...I don't have it yet.

hi car!

8:45 am

so am wondering, i guess i should have tapered off the clon but now that i didn't, should i go back and taper or should i just live through it since i'm dealing with all this crap from the surgery anyway? it sounded like cold turkey of this low a dose was probably ok but i wanted to check.

8:45 am

am5 may be a sailing term

8:45 am

Narcotics/opiates (codeine) may be causing the issue. Did you stop the clon? Withdrawal is a problem.

ty jmc!

8:46 am

yes i figured out the prob just don't know what to do now :)

that's fireworks!

8:46 am

did that work mag?

8:46 am

Congrats magazinemom!!!!!

8:46 am

whoo hoo mag!

8:46 am

yaa for magazinemom!

8:46 am

huzzah for mag!

8:47 am

can it cause more serious problems if i just stay off the clon now, or is it likely ok? it sounded like it was only likely to cause seizure if you had been on higher doses.

8:47 am

Just stay off clon as you were on the lowest dose.

ty and Happy New Year everyone!!

8:47 am

Yay magmom

8:47 am

Happy New Year!!!

8:47 am

ok thank you so much that makes me feel so much better to have you confirm my guess.

8:47 am

Are you still taking codeine?

8:47 am

happy new year mag

8:47 am

<---- did not figure out the am 5/12

8:48 am

yes still taking codeine, is day 4 after surgery.

8:48 am

Soon your brain will be happy to be off clon.

8:48 am

Just did!!!!

8:48 am

(me either car)

8:48 am

No, I didn't.

8:48 am

yes i am betting it will. kinda works out well as i have to be out of work anyway.

8:48 am

And when you are off codeine your brain will be even happier. Have you ever tried melatonin?

8:48 am

<------ did not figure out the 8

8:48 am

i have tried melatonin to no effect in past. but will see what the ball game looks like with no tonsils after recovery.

8:49 am

a + **** Street USA

8:49 am

When you are learning to do a new job, you are in TR8 until you can do it by yourself.

8:49 am

Molly!!!! Good morning! And thank you1

8:49 am

maybe i won't need anything!

8:49 am

I was going to use the rookie bra clue but okay

8:49 am

<------ LOVES melatonin!

8:49 am

It takes 4-8 wks for the throat to fully heal, i.e. swelling to resolve and scar tissue to form and tighten.

8:49 am

tonsils were size of golf balls and oozy and pussy.

8:50 am

and now it is time for crossy,s famous quote of the day!!!

8:50 am

sigh, that is long.

8:50 am

Ewwww....poor Hurshy!

8:50 am

A person with one watch knows what time it is; a person with two watches is never sure. Proverb

8:50 am

Yuk, Hurshy.

8:50 am

good to have them out then

8:50 am

Another good one Crossy! TY!

8:50 am

Ick, not so lovely visual Hursh.

8:50 am

yes good riddance tonsils

8:50 am

i am sorry it is what surgeon said :(

8:50 am

lots of hot and cold liquids says nature dr jmcnrick

8:50 am

Melatonin almost always helps me unless the Worry Voice is really loud and wild.

8:51 am

sorry though

Does anybody has the clues?

8:51 am

hot bad, cold good

8:51 am

I like that, Crossy.

8:51 am

List in my profile

8:51 am

there is a list in mollys profile

8:51 am

ty scrabs will revisit melatonin

8:51 am

sorry kenny,wife says i do not have a clue

8:51 am

hi molls

8:52 am

1-3 mg. I place under my tongue when I get in bed to read. I get sleepy 15-20 min later.

8:52 am

<---not arguing with elegant on that point

8:52 am

Poor Crossy.

8:52 am

:P

8:52 am

ty ty i appreciate it so much

8:52 am

*found tr8 now looking for am5*

8:52 am

Where is a w word

8:53 am

wow finally found the am5

8:53 am

Just the activities of this week will mess with your brain, Hurshy--surgery, anesthesia, pain, different daily routine, codeine, off clon....be patient.

8:53 am

i will i will try to be patient patient

8:53 am

Happy New Years Eve to all!

8:53 am

this grid will wh** your appetite for more sheila

8:53 am

It sucks to be a patient.

8:54 am

Hi Mom

8:54 am

Hi Scrabbler

8:54 am

8:54 am

Glan, my son just got a Happy New Year text from a Welsh colleague.... It said HYN from God's own country. My son was tickled pink!

1:58 pm

missing the reason for the tickledness?

2:00 pm

There is on-going rivalry between the pair of them.... Ireland v Wales. My son feels the Welshman has scored points on the God's Own Country remark

2:01 pm

well, HNY to you all, and happy babbling - see you in 2012 - and soodle, we all call it God's own couintry here (because it is!) LOL

**HAPPY 2012** from DownUnder xxx

2:25 pm

Hi diz, how is 2012 so far?

2:26 pm

New Year's tradition in my house. Use it or don't. Place a silver (or mostly silver) coin by your front door. Give it to the first visitor you get in the New Year. They are then to keep it and pass it on to their first visitor in the coming New Year. This makes for some fun stories if you keep it going.

2:26 pm

nice and quiet now....we had idiot neighbours letting off illegal fireworks all night

2:27 pm

Nice tradition, Molly.

2:28 pm

Hope ours will be a bit quieter.

2:29 pm

new year's eve and I haven't got Chistmas out of my system yet.. listening to Messiah on youtube still..

2:29 pm

Christmas sounds are the best.

2:30 pm

Happy New Year everyone from Scouser in Liverpool UK

2:30 pm

Lovely tradition Molly. Am going to put the 'mostly silver' coin by the door right now. Must poof now, and curl/straighten hair, as the daughters decree.

2:30 pm

same to you scouser

2:30 pm

PS remember that super Messiah YouTube video last year in the shopping mall?

2:31 pm

yes

2:31 pm

yes.

2:32 pm

have any of you seen that intesting stage production where they're in business suits and such?

2:32 pm

2:32 pm

2:34 pm

You are up on your Messiah performances.

2:35 pm

New year custom we used to have: put bread (preferably rye) and salt on a plate and take it from back door round outside house to front to be let in at midnight. No first-footing from 11.45 to midnight.

2:35 pm

first footing?

2:37 pm

going from house to house bearing a bottle of whisky or any other alcohol and generally whooping it up

2:37 pm

interesting.

2:37 pm

also opening all doors and windows to let out the old and let in the new year.

2:37 pm

sounds fun.

2:38 pm

I've always thought it would be fun to take a bite of barm brack and throw the rest at the door.

2:39 pm

I still do the windows bit. When I was young it was marvellous sound like a huge huge organ as all the ships on the river Mersey would hoot in unison. Fab.

2:39 pm

my mom banged pots and pans to "drive away the bad spirits" LOL.

2:39 pm

see we still have all these ancient spirit customs.

2:40 pm

My uncle fired off his hunting rifles.

2:40 pm

now we have fireworks instead - especially the noisy kind. My son is a pyromaniac: comes from both his and my birthdays being in early November.

2:40 pm

Drove my dad nuts.

2:41 pm

I used to work in school science labs so experimentation with noise and colour was a regular occurrence!

2:43 pm

I have a 1910 book of helpful handy household hints called !Inquire Within". There are lots of recipes for things like French stars etc which are simple fireworks made with stuff you bought from the chemist's shop on the corner. Gone are those days.

2:45 pm

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

3:31 pm

getting in shape for a fight you spend a lot of time tr/8 then remove the a for the 7

Here is my LAST story of clues for the year 2011......

8:10 pm

I felt like such an ai 7/36 doing the puzzle today, but I finally finished so here is a story filled with hi4/5s. I hope to be able to stay awake to watch the ball drop which will be ai 6/24 at midnight. I wonder who first thought of the id4/5 of dropping a ball on New Year's Eve in Ti4/5s Square in NY. I remember the first time I watched the ball drop, I was aw 4/9 by all the lights the ball em4/5ted. Now it's a struggle to stay awake. This year, however, I bought some nice party it 4/5s that will help me stay awake. I also went to the food ma 4/5 and got some ingredients. I ma 4/5 some nice appetizers to eat all night. I will be drinking apple ma 7/32s as I ri 4/6 in the new year. I wonder who does the hi6/27 for the singers that perform every year.I never like the singers they hire. This year Lady Gaga will be singing. I think she always looks like a ho4/5. I am ir5/14 hubby by not sharing computer. He's doing his usual wh7/56. I'm going to give him some laptop ti 4/5. I am going to take a shower and wash my ha4/5 on my he 4/6. I hope that you've found some ma 4/5 words with this story. I didn't really ed 4/5 my story so there may be some mistakes. I'll definitely be back in6/21 for the flip. I will see you all later gators!

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

hi nef!

10:16 pm

The grid is a stinker,but I have a list and story tonite

a story?

10:19 pm

12 words in the first 3 minutes isn't too bad (but I probably will need your story and list tonight. Is Lickety taking some time off or something?

10:19 pm

Whenever I finish grid I put a story of clues in profile

10:19 pm

I actually found this grid to be pretty straightforward, but then I am weird.

10:20 pm

and hi to all!

10:20 pm

Lickety was working yesterday, but not day before.

10:20 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

I am good, min! Fabulous family wedding on Friday, now decompressing and getting ready to travel with relatives (including the new bride and groom, believe it or not!)

Oh, ok! I try not to use clues, but I haven't completed many boards. I'm not doing well on this one and the story is a really good idea!

10:22 pm

10:23 pm

NBT; working on NBS (could I have the stats on a 7 AND THE 8, PLEASE?

So has everybody passed out from all the champagne and wine drinking? I am struggling to stay up for flip.

11:44 pm

I'm awake, after NY eve with Beloved and his daughter (who he's grounded for a month).

11:46 pm

Hi Jacula! Happy New Year! Are you in New York now

11:47 pm

Not a good way to start the new year for your step-daughter. Why has husband grounded step-daughter?

hello everyone and a very happy new year to you all

11:47 pm

I want to be here for the first Babble flip of the year.

11:48 pm

Hello vanillaslice! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

good on ya Minveryork

11:48 pm

Happy New Year to you too vanillaslice.Nice to see ya

I am very well, had a quiet new years eve and that suited us well

11:49 pm

Min - no, not in New York, I was referring to New Year's eve when I typed NY.

11:50 pm

Had a nice quiet New Year's Eve too with my nephew and niece whom I was babysitting all night long. They stayed up until midnight. Was 1st ti4/5 ever for them

I see all that firework and parties and noise and it seems all artificial to me.. I think a quiet time of reflection would suit todays worls better

11:51 pm

Oh DUH! Whenever I see "NY", I think of "New York".

11:51 pm

stepdaughter (aged 17) is grounded because she took to a secret stash of high percentage spirit-based booze and got herself drunk and sick on Boxing Day Eve, after she'd been allowed a moderate amount on alcohol at the family get-together.

hope she was proper sick

11:52 pm

You're absolutely right vanillaslice!Just like XMas has lost the true meaning of X-mas; over commercialized.

11:52 pm

However, she's dealt with the consequences of her actions now and, I hope, has learned from them.

11:53 pm

I'm sure my older niece and nephew are out partying.

thats the way we all had to learn ... and still do

11:54 pm

We spent the time as 2012 approached and, after a family toast, playing a boardgame that aalways makes us all laugh.

11:54 pm

I tell my hubby, "if you want to play you have to PAY!"

sounds great Jacula

11:55 pm

My husband STILL has not learned his lesson & he's 42

he's got half a life to learn

11:55 pm

vanilla - that's true. We'd just prefer , given past history, that she learns that lesson in a safe home environment, rather than in public where who knows who could take advantage and do God knows what.

11:56 pm

Any guesses for next grid size? My guess is 467 words

11:56 pm

Probably not with all the drinking & smoking he does.

11:56 pm

Min - I'll try 368 for the grid size. either that or a measly 36 words.

I suppose the ttrouble is Jacula that they will not do it at home

my guess: 202

11:57 pm

hello

11:57 pm

I was thinking either 467 or 109.Hoping more like 109

11:57 pm

326

11:57 pm

vanilla - she's not my daughter and I agree with you, but try telling her Dad that.

hi mlf happy NY
