no clue but i figured it was worth a shot lol

12:40 am

ty josh

12:40 am

thanks jill looking

12:41 am

nan, ro7/40 describes the shape of a Borzoi's back

12:41 am

got em. thanks again

12:41 am

nan, i think it's a colloquial usage of the bug :)

12:42 am

have a cl 7 - crofters hut -- is there another?

12:42 am

i have cl7 sewer

12:42 am

I think it pertains to Jerry Garcia's behavior

12:43 am

my cl 7 is 7/36 and isn't a crofter's hut

12:44 am

crofter's hut is cl 7/40

12:44 am

i have c;l 7/36 too i think its the one you found. im sure of it cause i added a vowel to the cl6

12:44 am

cos I think we have the same cl7

12:44 am

don't have either of those

12:45 am

cl6/24 and cl7/36 right?

12:46 am

clue or def for the cl 6/24?

12:46 am

found the cl 7/40!

bird vent

12:47 am

bird vent? a vent on a bird?

12:47 am

ok, hint for cl7/40 please

12:47 am

i thught it meant ancient sewer.

yes, birds have vents

12:48 am

a vent on a bird is comparable to anus/urinary opening

it maybe means that as well. I learned it in biology though

huh, ma7/8 new to me

12:49 am

cl7.40 is a small, rural settlement in Ireland or Scotland, usually lacking any formal or official buildings

12:50 am

cl6/7 -- 1. the common cavity into which the intestinal, urinary, and generative canals open in birds, reptiles, amphibians, many fishes, and certain mammals. b. a similar cavity in invertebrates. 2. a sewer, especially an ancient sewer.

12:50 am

it is also used in scotland to describe a sod hut in rural areas

I wonder which mammals have a cl6?

12:51 am

yes, I realise what the cl7/40 means, but would like a hint as to the word itself please

12:51 am

great to have all the defs for the bird vent, but I'm no closer to finding it!

12:52 am

lol, nan, that's how I feel about the sod hut, sod it.

12:53 am

rasta, some humans do but don't live long without surgery

12:53 am

have you been to culloden, jill?

12:54 am

never been to Scotland, nan

i've been to culloden, very somber place

12:54 am

but I guess that's a hint?

I've been there - were there some cl7's?

12:54 am

cl 7: tight fitting hat - a vowel + indefinite article

12:55 am

there is a cl 7 on the battlefield that has been preserved

I thought a tight fitting hat was a tuque

12:57 am

nan -- for the cl6 & 7 -- if you wear an invisible cl**k nobody **n (is able) to see you. And Latin pl.

12:57 am

popular headgear for ladies in the 1920's

cl + vowel + detective charlie ****

12:58 am

going pretty well now, thanks, lyn

1:01 am

Excellent! and when are we to expect you? or is that undecided as yet?

1:03 am

I'm afraid the Aussie trip is cancelled for now -- have to keep that leg elevated as much as possible so 15½ hours on a plane in Economy is a nono. I'd like to try again in October but son probably can't go with me then.

1:04 am

Besides, I'm still hobbling somewhat and need dressings changed on the leg wound.

1:04 am

off to bed, goodnight all, be back tomorrow

1:04 am

1:05 am

diz, I was so looking forward to the trip too!

1:05 am

I am sure you will get here eventually Jilli. So many choices for compression stockings/socks available now as well. You'll have to take breaks in the US and Hawaii and NZ so it is not such a long trip!!

1:05 am

not yet jilli - hope to see Dr. tomorrow

1:06 am

You OK Flosey????

1:06 am

It sounds important, flosey.

1:07 am

don't worry Jilli, just get a move on that leg and you'll be winging ya way over here in no time xxxx

1:07 am

just this chest cold dragging on too long, perhaps needs a boost

1:07 am

That sounds nice, lyn -- we'll see. I don't want to travel alone.

1:08 am

sounds wise Flosey - you have had that a long time indeed

1:08 am

It's been FAR too long, flosey.

1:09 am

Has anyone realised there are 58 C words? I don't even like C words.

1:10 am

Cs in a grid - especially near an O - always mean trouble

7:08 am

yes they are and thanks Annie,found them

7:08 am

Whee! Got 'em!

7:08 am

great

Beautiful word.

7:08 am

byeee

7:09 am

Kap, are you home?

yah.

7:10 am

I have so many phantoms today!!! YIKES!

7:15 am

Just for the record, it's Octavia Spencer

7:15 am

Thank you, Molly! I kept thinking Octavia Davis...which is the name of the other woman who was nominated.

7:17 am

I find it interesting that Streep was overlooked at the other two film awards and won at this one. Who knows? I didn't see her film, so I have no way of comparing her to Viola Davis.

It was just time for Streep. Not that she was better- just that it was her time again.

It's longitudinal.

7:19 am

I have a friend who said that if Streep won, she was going to LA to snatch the award out of her hands. We are not Streep fans, she and I. : )

7:19 am

I was glad that the Best Supporting Actor did not go to Nick Nolte. I am sure his performance was good, but I didn't want to see it go to him just because he had not won before....

Not a Streep fan?

7:20 am

Christopher Plummer vs Nick Nolte is NO CONTEST

Next you're gonna tell me you don't like lady Gaga.

7:20 am

I totally agree Molly...but I was nervous about it.

7:21 am

No, not in the huge, drooling way that most people are.

7:21 am

<---- not a huge Gaga fan.

7:21 am

Kap, if Gaga would just sing and drop all the theatrics, I might like her. I can't get past all the "pay attention to me" stuff.

I know she does a lot of roles that are excercises in parody or mimicry or whatever...

I LIKE the theatrics, though she did look lonely at the Grammys.

7:22 am

Exactly Molly. There is putting on a show and then there is just being ridiculous. I feel she has crossed the line.

7:22 am

Her New Year's Eve performance was awkward to watch.

7:23 am

I really like her music though.

But the Thanksgiving special was awesome, especially how she was with the 5th grade girls.

Huge vaudeville tradition of over the top.

Bette Midler in concert...fun fun fun.

7:24 am

It is also just too much marketing...too "in your face". I felt that same way about Madonna...after a while it was just, "well, let's see what ridiculous thing she is going to do now..."

7:24 am

LOVE Bette Midler! Great concert!

It's all post-Warholian.

7:25 am

I am going to head back to bed for a bit. I have a wicked sore throat today and that "oh no, I am getting sick feeling".

Hell, I even like Eninem. What I can't stand is all the current lyrics about love your ass, do it with me, gonna get you in my bedroom and do this or that, and "I like the way it hurts"

Which is why Rihanna bugs me.

7:26 am

I like him too Kaplan. In fact, I was just having a conversation about him yesterday with a teenager that I know.

I hate that Oh No I'm Getting Sick feeling!!!!

7:26 am

hi folks - Kap it sounds like we're from the generation when "I wanna hold your hand" was sexy!

I gotta go to the gym and see if my hip holds out.

7:27 am

It is not my favorite. I felt fine last night and then about 2:00 this morning I could feel it coming on....

7:27 am

Hi JBV!

"Why don't we do it in the road?"

7:27 am

this grid looks pretty much impossible without a list today

7:27 am

i've been at it for about an hour and only have 159 words

7:27 am

Hugs to all of you today! {[hugs}}

Bye later.

7:28 am

Hi JBV, there's a list

7:28 am

thanks, Annie - I'll look for it in a bit - have to get to my own milestone - you know how that is...

7:33 am

Good day to all. Yay for a big grid!

7:33 am

Hi Scrabbs :)

7:33 am

Hi Annie. Has your sodium level stabilized?

7:34 am

Scrabbs, It's 138. I think that is good.

7:34 am

Yes, that is normal.

7:34 am

good. thanks

7:35 am

Has Bobby already left for work?

7:35 am

He will be leaving in about 5 minutes...he is a little behind today

7:35 am

8:08 am

NM

Hey guys. No hints please. I just have a question. I have 90 words left and things slowed down to a crawl. I might find 1 word every five minutes now. lol Is this list full of really bizarre unknown words or something? The puzzles usually aren't this hard for me and I can get down to 20 to go usually very easily. But I have 9o to go and am really struggling.

8:08 am

what did I do, no no?

your cap letters ruby, its in the grid

8:09 am

We all hit the wall, Boggie. It's best to use a list to get it over with if you really want to finish.

8:09 am

Boggle, there are often words we don't normally use, or have never even heard, sometimes monkey them

8:09 am

and the caps were an accident :( but I'll sidle into the PB anyway

Yeah, every puzzle has some words that are totally foreign to me. I'm just asking if in your opinion this puzzle has more than usual.

the caps just should excitement at reaching that point ruby :)

8:10 am

yes, as Scrabbs says, the list can be very helpful

If they're normal words and I am just tired then I would like to keep looking. But if they're a ton of bizarre words that I would never find, then I'd rather just get a list and finish. lol So I wanted to know what you guys think

8:11 am

I am not quite ha**way and already have some weirdos on my list.

I slowed way down now boggle

8:11 am

I would seldom finish a grid of this size without a list

8:11 am

I nave saw the ha**, talk about weird words lol

Ok cool. Glad I'm not the only one. THough I was losing my touch. lol I hate crazy words. lol

8:12 am

there are quite a few odd words that we refer to as babblets

Did anyone use the x for any words?

lol @ babblets. Love it.

8:13 am

Boggie, each Babbler decides for themselves how they want to use their time here. Some mostly chat. Others find some words for fun + relaxation. Others finish every grid. Some are here for short times. Others seem to be here all day and I find that sad.

havent used the x so far

8:13 am

think the only x I tried, didn't work,

8:14 am

I get as many words as I can, using the chog and people's clues, but only finished a handful of times and that was with FM's help

cool thanks guys

8:15 am

yw boggle and glad to have you with us

8:15 am

Marvy Monday to you all.. welcome, BogNewbie

8:16 am

good morning Aloy

i've resorted to using the monkies now in hopes to find a few more words

8:16 am

hello aloy I really think spring is coming after all

8:16 am

Hello Professor Aloyisius Merganser.

8:16 am

tulips are up more than 3 inches

8:17 am

quack back to ya, Scrabs

wow ruby, havent seen a sign of mine yet

8:17 am

and Boggle, if you get really stuck, you might click on "Resources) above - you type in first 2 letters and ---- for remaining number of letters, enter and it takes you to a list

8:17 am

I saw many flocks of Canada geese in the air this morning.

hi Alloy

8:17 am

That's if you have the Babble Expert browser.

8:17 am

daffs are up but I have a horrible feeling that the deer ate my tulips

8:17 am

wow, scrabs

8:18 am

Many Canada geese are year-round residents.

8:18 am

no geese here and, considering it's really the country, no deer, either

8:18 am

are they nuisances?

8:19 am

hi flosey, Nono, ruby.. wonderful news, ruby.. love tulips but the deer loved them more.. munch, munch

8:19 am

some are almost ready to come home..provided you guys do nopt eat them all:/

yes they are Scrabs we have a local flock here

8:19 am

they sure can be ruby, as beautiful as they are

8:19 am

good morning everyone:)

8:19 am

Man, I can't keep up here today. People are thanking me for clues I didn't give, etc. Whoosh, the chat flies by.

8:19 am

Lots of deer around here. I enjoy seeing them in my yard.

8:19 am

there was evidently one deer this season and it ate all the roses in a friend's garden

8:19 am

howdy crossy and Molly

8:19 am

Hi Bacon Boy

8:19 am

deer can be a nuisance in eating flowers / bulbs and we are right in the city and have them wander through the yard - but i also enjoy seeing them - during the winter having their footprints in the snow

8:20 am

yup, they ate every single one of ours

8:20 am

they are lovely to see but difficult to fence everything

8:20 am

I've never lived any place with a deer problem

naught animal! now all of you talking about them off to the pb

8:20 am

{{crossy}}

8:20 am

we just use the food chain and eat the deer;))

8:20 am

oopsie!

Yup looking at the list now since I have to get to class. Tons of crazy words. I'm actually happy with myself now I was able to get down to 90. lol I hate words like these! LOL!

8:20 am

The snow in my yard is criss-crossed with deer tracks.

8:21 am

sounds like a party to me!!!!

8:21 am

woohoooo this should be one heck of a party :)

8:23 am

I finally talked husband into going to a kinestherapist but when he backed out at the last minute, I went instead

8:23 am

8:23 am

Good for you, Ruby.

8:23 am

8:24 am

thanks nono

8:24 am

ooh, ty Nono.. didn't have that one!

8:24 am

8:24 am

elk is nice,but very lean,must be done right or it will be all dry and touigh

yum aloy is elk similar in taste

8:25 am

oooh, scrabbs, sounds delish...joining party

8:25 am

it was great, crossy.. in a sausage

8:25 am

Gee, are we hungry, or what?

8:25 am

best way for it aloy:))

8:25 am

yay.. hi Annie

8:25 am

you need a grid word for admission, annie

8:25 am

after Christmas, I ended up with extra 35% cream so made butter, was fun

8:25 am

yup, say the de4 word Annie

8:25 am

The movie Bambi was on last night when I was surfing through the TV channels. It brought me back to my childhood.

8:26 am

dear annie.....

8:26 am

movie made me cry

8:26 am

I remember seeing that Annie, wasn't it beautiful

8:26 am

did you cry when you saw it as a kid?

8:26 am

flosey,i have one of those old mason quart jars with an egg beater through the top..makes amazing butter in no time:)

8:27 am

yu all probably make your own mayonaise, too :(

8:27 am

wow, I remember those old jars crossy - must have been at grandmother's, mom wasn't that creative

8:27 am

always, ruby

8:27 am

I was hysterical when Bambi's mother died. My mother almost sat on me to get me to quiet down. I knew I would cry again so didnt watch the movie. At my age?

8:27 am

every Fr housewife just "whips it up" and I've never been able

8:27 am

indeed,i got it at a flea market at the antique booth

8:27 am

me, too, annie

8:28 am

it's a breeze, ruby

8:28 am

Im going to try to make homemade butter

8:28 am

I could only watch "The Lion King" once. Seeing Mufasa being murdered by his brother Scar made me so upset.

8:28 am

that's what everybody says, flosey, and mine is always liquidy

8:29 am

I miss Hellman's

8:29 am

whenever i do home made butter,we take turns on choosing what colour it will be..we had robin egg blue butter once

8:29 am

when it forms into butter, I put it into a plastic bag and let the residual water leak out

8:29 am

we are Hellman's Light fans

8:29 am

I always used Hellman's Aloy but not Light

8:29 am

whenever I go to the US, Hellman's is one of the things I bring back

8:30 am

it is the best mayo

8:30 am

other than homemade, of course

8:30 am

I bring an empty suitcase around the one with my clothes

8:31 am

I've tried bringing bagels, but they don't travel well

ruby can you still do that with all the restrictions

8:31 am

before the luggage charges, hubby and I always packed one suitcase full of items from the Farmer's Mkt and Trader Joes.. fresh peppers, etc.. no clothes

8:31 am

now they shoot you if you try and fly food out

8:31 am

it's been a couple of years but landing in Geneva, they don't even look in your bags

Corning, NY hego

9:01 am

Oh! Of course!

9:01 am

ahh good old corning glassware

would be a nice weekend trip for you

9:01 am

The most famous glass museum.

yep crossy, if you have any of it my hubby might have had a part in making it

9:02 am

Yes it would NN.

9:02 am

problem is they make it too well,my M.I.L is still using the corning oven ware she got at her wedding 53 years ago!

9:03 am

ugly pastels they used to use,with white flowers

9:03 am

Thank you Aloy. I was sure I was the only one who kept wanting to see Clorox : )

it does hold up well, Crossy and the Correl dinnerware is almost indistructable I have a set that we got in '72

9:03 am

i have correl in my cupboard as well

9:04 am

(-: not doing laundry today

9:04 am

It lasts forever.

9:04 am

though i have broken a toast plate once or twice

9:04 am

and one bowl

9:04 am

but it will shatter if it hits the floor at the right angle

yep but if it does break, look out it will shatter into 1000's of little pieces

9:04 am

Although we can beseech we cannot seech. Denied.

9:04 am

tell me bout it:(

9:05 am

lol.. Nono, sounds like we had similar experiences

9:05 am

nice try anyway, Scrabbs

9:05 am

Scrabs has spoken!

Aloy my father-in-law was part of the team that first produced correl. When he brought home a couple of pieces to test at home, he went to show us how you could drop it and wouldn't so much as chip and it shattered LOL

9:06 am

I went to see an adorable 18 mo old boy and another kid is being put in a room now. My first2 patients were "no-shows."

9:07 am

lol.. wow.. yes, we had the white with blue cornflowers around the rims

9:07 am

do they usually come later, Scrabbs?

oh that was called old town blue I think. That is what I wanted but when we got ours all that was available was the plain white

9:09 am

They come when they want to, Aloy. I am at the Indian Reservation so compliance with appts, meds, etc is less than optimal.

havent been sorry tho, you can use the plain white for everyday and dress it up for special occasions

9:09 am

coal recoal

9:09 am

We had the same thing at our clinic Scrabs.

9:09 am

tc >>>>>>>>> joins PB party

9:10 am

People sauntered in whenever.

our problem was that the iron water of our well stained it ..

9:11 am

Beautiful kids, though.

a little bleach usually takes that off aloy

9:12 am

hi rurur

hi ruru

9:51 am

ruru that is

9:51 am

morning ru

9:51 am

Hi Flo and Ruru

9:51 am

hi hego

9:51 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - time for breakfast

according to morewords there is a word 'cors' but babble will not accept it - can anyone tell me why please

9:52 am

ttfn, wv

9:52 am

happens all the time Jiving.. the "enable" dictionary, often referred to as "disabled", rules the roost here

9:53 am

only accept words in their own dictionary.

9:53 am

there have been many words in morewords that Babble will not accept - "ours not to reason why"

9:53 am

sorry jenny, there will seem to be no explanation for 'words' that are accepted and those that are not

9:53 am

Hi Jenny

ok thanks for the explanations

9:54 am

just grin and shake it off, we refer to a good many of them as Babblets

and oft times words that enable accepts have no meaning

9:54 am

I think it's a conspiracy between the grid and enable

9:55 am

lol, good one ru

9:56 am

and we're not in on it. lol

9:56 am

innocent bystanders

9:56 am

can't believe I missed the whale, big as it is

10:52 am

Yay, we're back on-line. Hi all.

10:52 am

hi scrab

10:53 am

Lunch hour has begun.

10:53 am

I ate a cookie, but it is not my lunch hour... I am just taking a goof off break from writing

10:54 am

I just finished with last kid of the morning.

10:54 am

cl6/24 = common excretory opening for birds, etc

10:54 am

yay for being done with kids ; )

10:54 am

All three of my grandkids are now better, just waiting for the next wave of illness

10:55 am

Scrabs, you come up with the greatest words

10:55 am

ty scrab!

10:55 am

This one was a teen--yuck. But I saw some cute babies and toddlers earlier. I would be happy to not see adolescents.

10:55 am

Bichon, it's a real word. I just suddenly saw it.

10:56 am

cl7 = Latin ending

10:56 am

yep

10:56 am

I would have been happy not to have to be a mother to adolescents. But, now they produce grand kids

10:56 am

Now, I have heard of it

10:57 am

I will have a great-nephew in July.

10:57 am

Way to go Scrabs.

10:57 am

woohoo, scrab!

10:58 am

I was in shock when I heard the news but now I am excited. Jaxson James will be his name. I prefer traditional spellings though.

10:59 am

yes, that will be corrected the rest of his life

11:00 am

hi ALL. ANY CLUES FOR THE 9 AND 10?

11:00 am

I would like to suggest that to my nephew but don't want to seem invasive.

11:00 am

ra4 + ho5 = thoroughbred

11:00 am

*Puts more cake and ice cream out in the PB and refreshes the champagne fountain*

11:00 am

phantom cheese.... I hate when cheese is a phantom

11:01 am

mkg--much peace + strength to your grandson and family. You are in hell right now.

11:01 am

it depends where you are coming from-age kje

11:02 am

that was unusually low for you, ru

11:02 am

and your pic scares me

11:02 am

Sending positive thoughts to you, your grandboy and your family, Mkg.

11:02 am

well not in hell since the news friday. go see updates scrabbler. there is finally some better news. it is not cancer they are now saying.

11:02 am

Really? New diagnosis?

11:03 am

good news, mkg!

11:03 am

Scrabs, there was a great article in Saturday's WSJ about how important it for mothers to stay emotionally close with their sons throught their childhood.

11:03 am

Do you have a family page with updates?

11:03 am

ty for the 9.

11:03 am

and the 10. ty

11:03 am

Pluralize for ra10.

11:03 am

go to caringbridge.org/visit/zakkai for updates.

11:03 am

I will search for that, Bichon.

11:04 am

I'll send you the link to your FFB page

11:07 am

seems it was a miss call by the pathologists at the hosp. so it was sent to harvard, chop in philly, NIH and sloan kettering in NY. so far harvard and sloan say not a malignancy. so not cancer. still a horrible tumor that has eaten into his vertabrae but if not cancer may be surgically removed and we dont need margins around it to worry about. so dont have to cut into the aorta perhaps. all very risky surgery anyway but if not cancer that is a huge load off of us.

11:08 am

OK, I am reading the Caring Bridge site. I follow a few other kids there.

11:09 am

What is your email, Scrabs, better to send it there

11:09 am

ty scrabbler.

11:09 am

Very good news. Next step = find best place for furture surgical and medical care. You've got CHOP, Boston CH, etc involved. Hopkins?

11:10 am

Bichon--I got in. I have some kids with cancer that I follow on Caring Bridge.

11:10 am

just read the site, mkg - that is encouraging!

11:11 am

No, was talking about WSJ article

11:12 am

easy to get in, just create a password

11:14 am

OK, Bichon. I have the WSJ article now.

11:14 am

great, I loved it

11:15 am

i am sorry,i am behind the news mkg.you have a family member in a medical crisis?

11:16 am

must run and get more work done - bbl

11:16 am

I read another article there--"Why Doctors Die Differently"--fascinating, and consistent with what me and my colleagues wish for.

11:18 am

a doctor should a a patient for at least once a week every year.too many up here distance themselves to the point where we are nothing but breathing bits of meat to get in and out as fast as possible to clear a bead for the 20 or so that have been on gurneys in the halls for 3 days:(..our med system works,but it is far from perfect of late;(

11:18 am

should be*

11:19 am

bed

11:20 am

I agree, Crossy, so I had 5 abdominal operations from '90-'03 just to be a patient. It sucks to be a patient. But I was already a very caring person.

11:21 am

i am sure you are scrabby.was not meant as an attack but i have seen 3 or 4 very cold and distant medical professionals this week,so i am a tad grumpy..sorry

11:23 am

William Hurt was in a movie called "The Doctor" that addressed that very subject. How doctors need to learn what it's like to be a patient.

11:23 am

I dislike many docs because of their arrogance and lack of caring. So I totally understand your point, Crossy. SOme of my colleagues in the medical world absolutely embarrass me.

11:23 am

hi again all!

11:23 am

unfortunately, the few make it harder on the many who sincerely care, crossy and darn, sorry you saw them all and in one week!

11:23 am

interesting molly

11:23 am

Hi Sue

11:23 am

suze!

11:23 am

hi crossy and scrabs!

11:24 am

Hi Sue. I was sorry to read your news this morning. Hope that is all working out for the best.

11:24 am

i do understand then as a doctor,you cannot bleed for everyone,you would go insane

11:25 am

haven't talked to him yet, molly (he didn't come to class this morning) so I don't know yet. Thanks for your caring thoughts - they really mean a lot to me.

11:26 am

A problem with Leo?

11:30 am

Scrabs, I read that article too. Didn't give too much hope that if I had cancer, my doctor wouldn't truly believe in what he was prescribing

11:31 am

Caring thoughts always on your way Sue.

11:31 am

I think he is seeing the crazy girlfriend again, scrabs

11:31 am

i must say every doctor and tech i met at princess margerettes in toronto,were kind caring and do superior work:)

11:32 am

uh oh sue,my hope and prayers to you and your son

11:32 am

Oh, Leo! *slapping Leo upside the head*

11:33 am

but eveyone in the oncology field,seemsto me at least to be the cream of the crop

11:33 am

yeah, exactly. Sigh. He has certainly been talking to her, lots of screaming and crying in the wee hours, which he denied this morning. Gaaaaahhhh.

11:34 am

lord help him.poison women can cause great havock

11:35 am

He needs to review what she did to him last summer. And tell him to respect himself enough to walk away from her.

11:35 am

well said scwaBBY

11:35 am

good morning all - phantom for the day = calories!

11:36 am

lol,my calories are anything but phantoms:(

11:36 am

did I say anythig about my calories?

11:38 am

Stuck with 99 to go.

11:39 am

78 to go here and also stuck

11:39 am

hi all

11:39 am

*brings in a calorie free cake*

11:39 am

(carrot of course)

11:40 am

mmm - just in time for coffee

11:40 am

I agree, scrabs - but I don't think I can make him do it and he doesn't seem to want to get help

11:40 am

i am out of coffee and too lazy to go to store to by it for just one day

11:41 am

Sue, what kind of consequences are you willing to give him for this and his less than stellar school performance?

11:41 am

you really cannot make him uu no matter how hard--but he is a smart kid and will eventually figure it out for himself hopefully without too much damage

11:42 am

if you can have aa 5, why not ra 5?

11:42 am

consequences for school are always appropriate imho

11:43 am

Hey je

11:43 am

hi scrabs

11:43 am

off to meet a friend for shopping - bbl

11:43 am

bye cyber have fun

11:45 am

molly, I've told him he can't drive the car (he had an accident about 3 weeks ago) and that we will not drive him to the train - he says he's been visiting a friend we've never met but I think he's visiting her. He's already on probation; if he doesn't get his GPA up he will be academically dismissed and will have to find a job.

11:46 am

I also told him that, while I am paying his lawyer's final bill, any future legal fees due to his relationship with her are going to be his responsibility.

11:47 am

I feel mean :-(

11:47 am

sounds fair

11:47 am

Good for you--making him accountable.

11:47 am

sue, do not feel mean, actually you are doing what is right and good for him

11:47 am

You are not mean. You are introducing him to adulthood: choices, consequences, responsibility + accountability.

11:47 am

sounds like a plan uu

11:47 am

you are not mean.he must be his own person.he cannont rely on mommy to bail him out forever.he must learn consquences

11:48 am

I do wish he would get help, though - he's too smart, and thinks he can figure it all out on his own

11:49 am

you would be meaner doing anything different uu

11:49 am

You are NOT mean Sue. He is a grown man and it's time for him to take responsibility for his actions.

11:50 am

you could get him a book that might help--babbleland should be able to come up with the right one

11:50 am

smart people won't get help but they will read!

11:50 am

I agree. Kids never seem to mature these days.

11:51 am

How about 'Red Alert' by I C Trouble?

11:51 am

is that a real book haz?

11:51 am

I'll try that, jmc, if people can email me their ideas (most of you have me as a friend on facebook; if you read down far enough in my profile you can find my contact information). But now I must go to class. See you all later!

11:51 am

No, but it should be.

11:51 am

blech! i shall return.must go and pay car and house insurance:((

11:51 am

my son finally got his act together at about 25

11:51 am

If he doesn't think he needs help, I doubt he will read a book.

11:51 am

it sounded great haz

11:52 am

bye crossy

11:52 am

you never know molls i thought my son was not reading the books i would give him but he actually did

11:53 am

swillis at niu dot edu - will take all ideas! thanks, you all are great!!! off to class...

11:53 am

bye uu hang in there

11:53 am

Hi Haz

11:54 am

Hello Scrabbler and everyone.

11:54 am

hi haz

11:55 am

Hello Haz, nice to see you

11:55 am

maybe i should write a novel about babbleland and sell it for millions then i could pay for a ginormous babble meetup

11:55 am

hi flosey

11:56 am

Hi Haz

11:56 am

Do you think Scotland will vote for independence?

11:58 am

stats for the 4 row second column A please

11:58 am

There comes a time, when...no matter how much we love our adult children, we have to let them face their own consequences. No matter how smart, sensitive or whatever they are. It's the only way they learn. As long as someone keeps bailing them out, they will keep on as they have been.

11:58 am

I honestly don't know.

11:58 am

It'll come down to economics.

11:58 am

i agree molly

11:59 am

flox is not in the dictionary? i see it growing all the time am I misspelling it?

11:59 am

phlox?

12:00 pm

ph - i made the same mistake the other day on words with friends

12:00 pm

ah well there you go my lack of spelling strikes again!

12:00 pm

and hello to all . especially haz who i almost never see these days

12:00 pm

hi dorens and that puts me in good company then!

12:00 pm

:-)

12:01 pm

Hello, Dorens. I'm in the midst of a very busy period. I'm secretary for Speech and Drama competitions at my local festival and it's in full swing at the moment.

12:01 pm

sounds exciting haz

12:01 pm

that must be fun, albeit busy.

12:01 pm

stats for the 4 row second column A please for nbt?

12:01 pm

I've listened to two poems repeated over 40 times today.

12:01 pm

they all picked the same poems?

12:02 pm

ah, perhaps not so much fun then!

12:02 pm

They're poems set by the adjudicator.

12:02 pm

ar6/21

12:02 pm

ty haz

12:03 pm

Hi Doren--on lunch break?

12:03 pm

oh dear that would be tiring!

12:03 pm

exactly, scrabbs. how was the x-country skiing yesterday?

12:03 pm

It's amazing, though, how the same poem can be interpreted differently.

12:03 pm

back in the day when i did speech competitions we got to pick our own poems

12:04 pm

Some of the classes are own choice, but the ones today were for school classes.

12:05 pm

well i am glad there is enough difference you are not banging your head on the desk!

12:05 pm

Wonderful! We did 5 miles then played 2 games of Scrabble in the warming hut, and sat next to the woodstove.

12:05 pm

vive le difference!

12:05 pm

you do lead a wonderful life, scrabbs

12:05 pm

It was a sunny day with blue skies--I didn't want the day to end.

12:05 pm

sounds lovely scrabs

12:06 pm

Doren, I choose to live a good life. Good attitude, much gratitude, stay active + outdoors...

12:07 pm

you are a wise woman scrabs

12:07 pm

even if you do live with rabbits

12:07 pm

excellent... now just get over to italy and then you will have a life with no regrets whatsoever

12:08 pm

Life is short and could end at any moment, so enjoy every moment. Yep, an trip to Italy must happen in the next few yrs. In June we might do a 6 day hiking trip of Yosemite and Sequoia NPs.

12:08 pm

je, my rabbits make me smile.

12:09 pm

i've been many places, but never Yosemite and it is definitely on my to do list

12:09 pm

I haven't found a word in 15 minutes. Uggggghhh.

12:09 pm

i know i was just teasing a little

12:10 pm

5:15 pm

sorry to interrupt ladies,but am debating netflix here,but with our monopoly of three major service providers throttling our data streaming,it is tough.with standard streaming,a single netflix movie will use on average 400 meg per movie.many of our mid range internet bundle cap out at 60-80 gig of streaming per month before the penalties set in:(

5:15 pm

ty moly

5:15 pm

*molly

5:15 pm

now i ill leabe you all to it and harras a few more isp,s;)

5:15 pm

harrass

5:16 pm

<---Not a big fan of Netflix

5:17 pm

it may be a no go for us anyways molly 2 movies using up a gig means i can kill off our data cap in no time

5:17 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

5:17 pm

hi again all!

5:17 pm

yay nan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:17 pm

hubby offered to do some grocery shopping -- back after I make a list :)

5:18 pm

wtg nan!!

5:19 pm

wb suze:)) did you get a gander at that partial lunar eclipse and planetary alignmet past 2 days or so?

5:19 pm

hi sue

5:20 pm

didn't see a partial eclipse but I did see a lovely crescent moon with Venus and Jupiter

5:21 pm

thats the one:)

5:21 pm

and I had a long talk with the kid, he is in fact back with crazy girl, claims he can handle it. I give up.

5:21 pm

uh oh

5:22 pm

he's been lying to me the past six weeks. I am not happy.

5:22 pm

hi folks

5:23 pm

howdy welki

5:23 pm

hi welki!

5:23 pm

does your son still live with you, sue?

5:23 pm

... all you can do is step back ... ... you can't save those who don't want to be saved ... ... just be close at hand to help ... if you can ... but don't get dragged under yourself

5:24 pm

he does, welki

5:25 pm

i'm with dos - and the old adage, your house, your rules.

5:25 pm

hi welki

5:26 pm

I agree with your house, your rules. Especially since this girl has caused damage to your house.

5:26 pm

thats what i tell my son,my roof,my rules,no wars with toxic gf,s under my roof

5:27 pm

*sigh* I did lay down some rules but we shall see - he claims they have it all patched up. I don't think so.

5:27 pm

Patched up??? Wow.

5:28 pm

your home at this stage of your life should be your serenity escape from the cares of the world and work

5:28 pm

well, it won't be my home much longer anyway due to the bankruptcy; once we move things will change, I think

5:29 pm

I agree with Cross about your home being your safe haven. I love my kids, but if they decided to do something like this, they wouldn't be living with me anymore.

5:29 pm

:(( i am sorry about your difficulties suze.home you reach smoother waters soon

5:29 pm

hope

5:29 pm

Why will things change once you move?

5:29 pm

because we will be in a different place, and he is talking about living on his own

5:30 pm

also it will be after the end of the semester; if he flunks out he will be on his own anyway

5:30 pm

Ah, I think that will be good for both of you.

5:30 pm

me too although I will have to figure out the $$$

5:31 pm

indeed sue,another rule here is you can live here as long as you are still in school.if you stop school,you go to work

5:31 pm

sorry sue, don't know anything about your crazy son's girlfriend! it is really difficult as you don't want to alienate your son, but maybe he should live on his own and then put up with her and then see what its like

5:32 pm

absolutely, crossy - I don't want him to work more than part time while he's in school, engineering is a tough program and he needs to have the time to dedicate to it, but if he flunks out he's on his own

5:32 pm

sorry, meant son's crazy girl friend!

5:32 pm

although I suppose I'd let him stay before throwing him out on the street :-(

5:33 pm

carefull with that sue,a body at rest tends to stay and rest and drink all your booze lol

5:33 pm

and lounge on the couch all day..

5:33 pm

and eat everything in your fridge...

5:33 pm

and moan that you bought no name soda..lol

5:34 pm

hard to do the tough love thing. guilt is so powerful.

5:34 pm

indeed

5:35 pm

he doesn't have to live ón his own, you know - he could always find himself a place that needs a room-mate

5:35 pm

Sue, you are a good mother and you have been there every step of the way for your son. You paid for his legal issues with this girl before (now he's back with her) you have paid for his college (which he is flunking out of) and you have let him drive your car (which he wrecked). It's time for him to be a big boy now.

5:36 pm

how old are your bairns molly(sorry, children)?

5:36 pm

hard decisions ahead of you, sue - i know you''ve already considered most, if not all, of what we've suggested

5:36 pm

I keep hoping he will pull himself together...

5:36 pm

32. 30 and 20 Lill.

5:37 pm

perhaps you're just not ready to say no yet - i know it took me a long time to do that with family members - but eventually, it'll come to a head and you will ... or you won't, and this will be ongoing

5:38 pm

and do they have their own lives away from you molly

5:38 pm

or maybe he will get his act together - he started out the semester pretty well, actually

5:38 pm

he'll get his act together (or not) regardless of how you support him - that's up to him, not you

5:38 pm

I still have my 20-year-old with my Lill, why?

5:39 pm

*with me

5:39 pm

sue, he's 20?

5:39 pm

well, I told him I would put him through undergraduate school - my parents did that for me so I am paying it forward with him -

5:39 pm

he's 22, welki

5:40 pm

because i could do with advise from people who have had girls ! mine nearly 13 going on 18!!

5:40 pm

Sorry Lill, all boys for me.

5:40 pm

i only have 1.

5:40 pm

hehehe - things change, sue. it's obvious to us that you can't afford to foot the bill for his entire education. surely he sees at least what we see - what's he going to do if (when) the well runs dry?

5:40 pm

he's my only, lilli

5:40 pm

i wasn't going to have a go at you molly! :)

5:41 pm

we have five girls, lillian - 25 - 31 and a boy, 29

5:41 pm

actually I can foot the bill, welki, he gets half tuition since I teach here and after the bankruptcy I will have fewer payments - it 's not a stretch

5:41 pm

best advice regarding girls is ... close your door.

5:42 pm

i was about to pull my hair out but welki came along!! :)lol

5:42 pm

So wait, if he flunks this semester, you are still going to keep paying for school?

5:42 pm

i'm no expert, lillian, but they all turned out okay :)

5:43 pm

no, if he flunks out, he's out. Then he'll have to figure out what he's going to do with his life.

5:43 pm

mine is so mouthy at the moment!!

5:43 pm

But if he passes I'll keep going.

5:43 pm

i was a strict parent, lillian - didn't much believe in being friends with my kids when they were young. mouthing off got them into BIG trouble

5:44 pm

Sue, I'm guessing that part of why he's struggling with school is getting back together with Psycho Girl.

5:44 pm

that's a big part of it, molly!

5:44 pm

my boy is 18 and just grunts at me unless it is about money,the car or internet privilages,then he becomes my best friend

5:45 pm

but he is doing well in school,doing co-op courses,so i will go with the flow for now

5:45 pm

i'm the same welki, i ground her, give her extra jobs to do but i still get sworn at or the moputh goes on"!!

5:45 pm

good thing they are not born as teenagers - they wouldn't live a week!

5:45 pm

all the kids had to earn their privileges, lilliann - very little was given to them for doing nothing and, even though i understand that they all make mistakes, things/privileges were taken away from them if they couldn't act civilly or do what was expected of them

5:46 pm

when her dad is abour, she doesn't dare do any of it!!

5:46 pm

then maybe you need to take more away from her - i wouldn't worry about adding more to her chores - things get pretty dicey for the kids when they're sitting in an empty room all by themselves with NOTHING to do

5:46 pm

not allowed to back hand the kids for getting mouthy anymore..35 years on and now i understand my father a little better lol.actually i am surprised he let me live to adulthood;)

5:47 pm

or - maybe on the flip side, you need to explain why her behaviour is unacceptable to you, do the 'nurturing' thing

5:47 pm

I'm sorry you're going through this Sue. I don't understand people who continually return to toxic relationships. It's too bad he won't go for some couseling.

5:48 pm

molls, he's 22 - he knows everything and ""i don't need your help"" -- until he's going tits up and then needs mom to bail him out

5:48 pm

Or counseling.

5:48 pm

i've done every thing you've said welki. but the problem is she is too much like me!!

5:49 pm

then, if she's mirroring you, you might need to change a little, too :)

5:49 pm

counseling would be good. If he shows up at my office in dire straits again I am walking him over there (should have done it last fall but I was in dire straits myself)

5:50 pm

Ah Welki, you just reminded me of my husband. "Tits up" was a constant expression of his. : )

5:50 pm

:)

5:51 pm

anyway, i need to start making supper - we need a resident psychologist here! all this armchair quarter-backing - don't know if it helps or harms

5:52 pm

Sue, just stick to your guns in terms of the consequences you have given him. At the very least, he should be paying you back for the last round of legal fees.

5:52 pm

good to have friends to talk to!

5:52 pm

at the moment he is paying for the car, molly, I haven't asked him for the legal fees (although I have told him if he gets in any more trouble he will be on his own)

5:53 pm

welki, i'm now 43 and will never change who i am. what i said is she is like me in some ways, and i don't want to change her or me. we are who we are!

5:55 pm

Well Sue, other than give him the "are you out of your effing mind" lecture (which I'm sure you have already done) you can only hope for the best. I will too.

5:56 pm

thanks, molly!

5:56 pm

but i wish i could change her behaviour!! my mam and dad thought i was bad, but i never drank or did drugs and i had a good life and never broke the law!!

5:59 pm

Dear Lord Lilliann, she's drinking and doing drugs at 13?

5:59 pm

not saying to change either one of you, lil, just the behaviour. hard times when you have teenaged girls. they're brutal.

6:00 pm

(peeling, chopping and lurking)

6:01 pm

Watch that knife Welki : )

6:01 pm

nooo...she's not drinking ot doing dtugs molly!!!!

6:01 pm

no kidding - been there, done that. at least my knives are very sharp - makes clean up easier :)

6:02 pm

*drugs

6:03 pm

i was talking about some one else chat!!!!

6:04 pm

tell me about it welki...know what you mean!! :)

6:04 pm

ok, I am over half way and am going to call it a night. see you all tomorrow!

6:05 pm

Hi min. I did it

6:35 pm

Hi Min

6:36 pm

it's a real godsend for the remote grandma

6:36 pm

awww dan, your bairn is sooo cute!! :)

Well I did it. I got himself to help me last night thank goodness. I just need to know how to import old bookmarkds

6:37 pm

i finally stopped my hubby by kissing him good night with the words that if he snored loud enough to wake me i would kick him

Had an aunt who sewed a tennis ball just below the neck of hubby's t-shirts in the back. It adjusted his airway and relieved the snoring

6:37 pm

ty lilliann I am rather partial myself :-)

Ah Dan! What a sweet little girl! I miss having one that age

6:38 pm

okay i am off to watch jeopardy

6:38 pm

she is such a sponge right now - I really have to watch my mouth :-)

6:39 pm

believe me, i've kicked, hit flicked him and my hubby is 6ft and built like a brick sh** house!!, he just turns over!!!

I kick my husband and say Stop Snoring and he usually stops. at least for now.

I'll never forget when my 2 year old heard his daddy say bull****. We heard it for several weeks before he forgot about it.

6:40 pm

haha

Swearing and snoring.

Bad combo.

6:41 pm

oh aye, you haveto think about what you say dan as they pick it up so easily!

6:41 pm

Darn it!It froze again!What the heck is up with my internet

Kap- we talk about only the finest things here in the Babble chog :-)

6:42 pm

i was going to say i'dtry the tennis ball mm but he wouldn't sleep with it

good luck lili! my ex finally got a CPAP machine and that helped a lot.

6:43 pm

I do not have the patience to deal with this right now. I am off for the night. I leave you with a story of clues in profile

Night Min LOVES and HUGS

6:44 pm

Goodbye babblers! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.

continuous positive airway pressure-- it blows a constant stream of air through a mask that you wear to sleep

Never mind I found it

Ha ha- I love na6! Yiddish!

6:47 pm

ah6 please?

6:47 pm

You should have lots of na6 from the children.

Kap- my daughter asked me what kind of phone I had in high school. I told her the kind that plugs into the wall. She had no concept of there not being cell phones

6:48 pm

cr 6/27?

6:48 pm

Right you are Kaplan!

6:48 pm

A + equine Cos

I had to glare at my daughter to keep her from texting through a dinner with her grandmother.

What am I right about?

6:49 pm

magazine mom,other day i dug out my record collection and my son looked at them with wonder and awe usually reserved for people seeing the piramid at giza for the first time lol

6:49 pm

cr6 is a french word for where your children get looked after

6:49 pm

molly -- i am so pissed off.

6:49 pm

and ty for the ah6

6:49 pm

na****

glare being once step short of smacking.

na6 from the kinder.

I hear you crossy! These kids are spoiled

Kids. What's the matter with those kids today.

Kids! Who can understand any thing they say?

6:50 pm

can someone please explain to me why doctors think it's ok to decide they no longer take medicare while they have an appointment the next day with patients who use medicare?

6:50 pm

ty lili

Noisy lazy disobedient disrespectful oafs....

oh no cos!

6:51 pm

yw bichon, did you get the 7 aswell

Something something something, and while we're on the subject-

6:51 pm

sorry cosdem we try not to look at the med system down there..though ours is far from perfect

You've obviously met my children Kap. lol

6:51 pm

That totally sucks Cos. Did you find another doctor?

6:51 pm

going to the urgent care center tomorrow as it is my only option besides the ER

Kids! Who can understand any thing they do!

6:51 pm

every doctor listed on the medicare website for colorado springs are not taking emdicare anymore

Kids! You can talk and talk till your ...wait- Cos, what happened?

6:52 pm

That is horrible!

6:52 pm

i mean what the F*** is the point of having medicare anyway anymore

I was channeling Paul Lynde

6:52 pm

we just pay out 52% in taxes and get provincial health care:(

Oh- I'm sorry. Do we have a problem with healthcare in this country?

Cos you need to go camp in the ER and bitch LOUDLY until they hear you

6:53 pm

kap: long story short. had adominal pains (getting worse every day now) went to ER. they referred me to dr. i made appointment last week for tomorrow. today they call and say sorry no medicare accepted, cch?

6:53 pm

thats a good idea herin.

6:53 pm

And people wonder why the "Occupy" movement has garnered such strength.

Either they haul your butt out of there or deal with you

6:54 pm

i am sorry it is like that cos..that at least is one thing we do not run into

I would call the media and go out there and cause a freaking riot.

6:54 pm

couldn't thos a holes have told you that when you called?

6:54 pm

sending a message to the local news on facebook now. they respond to every message and posts personally.

6:54 pm

insane

6:55 pm

Good for you Cos

I would occupy their damn office. call the local stations. call your congressperson.

Was told yesterday that a doc said that because of the way gov't is forcing them to file medicare, it's about to run them out of business. Probably why they are not taking it anymore

I'm uninsured, Lord help me, I was going to try to get on Medicare since I have a disability. Is there a point?

6:56 pm

Oh boo hoo! I'm so sick of the doctors complaining and refusing to take insurance and medicare.

6:56 pm

apparently not magmom..

6:56 pm

we have bed shortages,dr shortages..but this is insane

6:56 pm

I want all the medicare I have paid in for the last 40 years back!

6:56 pm

well you can use medicare at the ER and urgent care centers.

6:57 pm

if we go to er,and they refer to a dr...we get seen by that doctor,he charges the govt direct

6:57 pm

but there is abuse of the set up

wow. that just sucks cos. you're in my prayers for a good outcome and a doctor with good sense

6:58 pm

the ER referred me to this doctor. what a joke.

6:58 pm

thanks mags

6:58 pm

i am sorry your state and govt has you in that position cosdem:(((

6:58 pm

Me too Cos, I'm thinking positive thoughts for you.

6:59 pm

its funny. the new health care act says insurance companies cannot refuse u for preexisting conditions.. yay right? but thats only if you can find a job

7:00 pm

And, if you insure yourself privately and go to the doctor three or four times, they cancel you.

I can't even get started on this topic?

7:02 pm

And then there are all the illegal aliens who are getting free medical care. What the hell is up with that? While legal American citizens cannot get treated through our own health care systems.

7:02 pm

brb gonna peel potatoes

My doctor works at a community medical centres those guys get at best 50 -70,000 pay a year and they can't retain the doctors as the pay is too low

7:03 pm

never mind no potatoes tonight

7:04 pm

i had a great doctor... til he decided he wanted to make more money and moved to los angeles

7:04 pm

i guess he wasnt that great

7:05 pm

I guess he was greedy

My Doc is a fantastic guy. Honestly community docs get so much grief from the crazies it isn't funny

7:06 pm

medicare also really needs to update their websites with local doctors info since none of them no take medicare

7:06 pm

anyway. how is everyone?

Have to finish this

7:07 pm

Well, other than wanting to come fix you dinner and kick your prospective doctor in the ass with my steel-toed boots, I'm fine. : )

7:08 pm

lol.. i finally caught up on al the episodes of alcatraz.. n

7:09 pm

I can't figure out where they are going with the story on Alcatraz.

7:09 pm

reminds me of our govt OHIP insurance payment back in the day used to cost me 285 month to get health ins for 3 people..glad those days are over

7:11 pm

how can 536 idiots not come up with a health care plan that benefits everyone and not make it so complicated

7:11 pm

536- members of Congresss and 1 President.

7:12 pm

Because THEY all have PAID FOR health care Cos.

because most of them are Republican twats that keep stopping health care reforms (goes over there now)

7:12 pm

yep. basically.

7:12 pm

and they ALWAYS will.

7:12 pm

as much as i love him, ted kennedy wouldn't have lived as long as he did if not for his free medical care

O and most of them are so freeking rich that their heads are so far up their butts they can't see reality

7:13 pm

ce6/24 anyone?

7:13 pm

state health care cosdem,everyone pays for it in the taxes,no one is refused at any dr office or hospital no more of "i have money and pay my own,why should i pay for him?" everyone pays,cause everyone will need it..simple

7:15 pm

chert

7:15 pm

Thanks Ru I i didn't have that one

7:16 pm

7:50 pm

does your beloved have his Peter-built?

7:50 pm

Earplugs Lilliann?

7:51 pm

rather personal, ru, isn't it?

7:51 pm

7:52 pm

I was just being risque Jac.. sorry.

7:52 pm

i'm deaf in one ear and half in the other molly so don't need them but can still hear him...and i like to hear in the one i can...apart from his hearing!!...aye you're right molly, i should put in a ear plug!!

7:53 pm

Lil - I can't har my trucker snoring because he's 'on a night out' - which, in trucker speak, isn't a night clubbing with your mates, but a lonely night in a layby in the cab of your truck.

7:54 pm

truckers have a hard life.. it's exhausting to drive all the time

7:54 pm

But, I will sleep without earlplugs against the snoring and tooth-grinding for the first time in ages. LOL

7:55 pm

No takers for the hand model offer then? *sighs* I have to earn some money SOON!

7:55 pm

on my way -- see you tomorrow :)

7:55 pm

i know what you mean jac as you know my hubby was a trucker for alot of years, he's now driving taxis until the end of this month when he will be driving americans around in coaches

7:56 pm

bye nan, tc and thanks for the help :)

7:58 pm

Lilli - did your chap do double de-clutching in his sleep, making the bed rock like a ship in a storm? Mine does and earplugs don't stop that disturbing you! The best sleep I got was when I used to go on the road with him. Sadly, health & safety, insurance etc., doesn't allow that now.

7:58 pm

'Bye Nan.

7:59 pm

omg..yes...but the thing is the more he moves in bed...the more i get dizzy!!

7:59 pm

any help on the second re 6/24 please

7:59 pm

i'm looking for that one now ruru

8:00 pm

8:01 pm

i'm missing the 1st and 2nd re6's

8:02 pm

2nd re6 is to copy a movie on the dvr

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

8:03 pm

No, I just clued the first re6/24. Sorry!

8:03 pm

first re6 could also be play time for kids ins chool

8:04 pm

Hi Crossy! Yes, I do know that and I do try to stop him upping his cholesterol levels.

8:05 pm

As far as I know, sleep apnea is treated either with surgery or a CPAP machine.

8:05 pm

jacula,my colesterol,is a low 96 and i am still using a cpap nachine

8:06 pm

fireworks

8:06 pm

my hubby hasn't got it thank god as it would mean he would lose his drivers licence

8:06 pm

weight is often an issue

8:06 pm

wtg cos!!

8:06 pm

I also got him to go to the dentist for gum guards. They were £80 a pair but only the bottom set could be fitted, since his top teeth were apparently 'too crooked' to fit one to. However, he still got charged £80 for just the one, which, as the dentist predicted, he bit through in two weeks.

8:07 pm

I have a bite guard and you can't bite through it. It's made of hard plastic.

8:07 pm

Bloody robdog! (The dentist.)

8:08 pm

Molly - the ones here are soft rubber.

8:08 pm

I would think a muzzle would work better molly?

8:08 pm

:D

8:08 pm

My dentist says the soft ones do no good. They don't deflect the bite pressure like the hard ones do.

8:08 pm

I got him a hard plastic one, but he hasn't bothered to 'wear it in' yet.

8:09 pm

thanks cos

8:09 pm

Thank you Ru, duly noted. : (

8:09 pm

and jac

8:09 pm

lol..

8:09 pm

<---feisty today

8:09 pm

The hard plastic ones have to be fitted to your teeth.

8:10 pm

do i get the bite guards from the dentist jac?

8:10 pm

I have the hard plastic ones.. but they are uncomfortable to wear most of the time. I put mine in when I'm really stressed

8:10 pm

sorry, just read back and yes

8:11 pm

£80, can we not get them on the nhs?

8:13 pm

Crossy - weight is probably an issue for both me and my Beloved right now. However, weight has nothing to to with my ownsnoring problem. Mum tells me I snored since I was born. I've also always snoared whether light or heavy. I have a silly little nose, and I think that's wherein the problem lies, in my case. Beloved snoring is another matter. I have to say, being in my 50s and not uneducated about 'men', that not many men, big or small, sleep without snoring.

8:13 pm

it'dsgetting to the point when i want to knock him out with a bat so i can sleep and he moans that he is cold because i have to have a fan on all night because of early menopause, but he covers his head with the duvet anyway!!

8:13 pm

Lili - £80 WAS the NHS price!

8:14 pm

really??

8:14 pm

I don't snore

8:14 pm

mrs. ru does.

8:14 pm

jac. have you had your adenoids outs?

8:14 pm

well, you wouldn't know ruru as you're asleep :)

8:14 pm

my son says i snore but i deny it

8:15 pm

hubby snores I don't Duct tape

8:15 pm

I snore when I sleep on my back... I'm skinny, but there you have it.

8:15 pm

Lili - no, no adenoid op. I just have a tiny nose.

8:15 pm

because when i was little until i had my tonsils and adenoids out i snored and i was 6 when i had themall removed in the end

8:15 pm

jmc - LOL

8:16 pm

Mr. bichon and I sleep with a wall between us. We both snore loudly. The dogs don't care

8:16 pm

lol jmc

8:16 pm

jmc, you're hardly in a position to deny snoring when someone awake has heard you while sleeping...

8:16 pm

hi seas and mab

8:17 pm

mab - I don't know if I snore when I sleep on my back but I do know that I have bad dreams when I do. Strange, isn't it?

8:17 pm

Hi lilliann and everyone

8:17 pm

separate rooms lil, as bichon

8:17 pm

my hubby snores on either side, and back...he doesn't sleep on front!!

8:17 pm

Hi seaspray.

8:18 pm

i sleep very lightly so if i snore it wakes me up ergo i do not snore :p

8:18 pm

it is strange what triggers nightmares

8:18 pm

bichon - sounds like the perfect arrangement. Wish we could do it, too. Unfortunately, we don't have enough bedrooms in the house.

8:18 pm

there is always the car

8:18 pm

my husband has said about seperate rooms, but he'n not here for most of the year so i prefer hin to sleep with me even if i can't sleep and moan about him!!

8:18 pm

Jac, you used my favorite word: ergo :)

8:19 pm

if i am cold i gets nightmares

8:19 pm

any brits here tonight? who watch downton abbey?

8:19 pm

aw how sweet lill

8:19 pm

yes, jmc, i wake myself up as well, therefore i don't snore either

8:19 pm

*raises hand* it was me peri

8:19 pm

Sometimes we have to sleep in the same room and we push each other all night

8:20 pm

Shirlockc - I do watch it but I'm not telling you anything. You can wait and see!

8:20 pm

sorry,jmc, yes it was you used used ergo :-)

8:20 pm

mab - is it that snorting sound that wakes you up? LOL.

8:20 pm

it's soooooo important to give proper credit ;-)

8:21 pm

we finished season 2, wanted to know when season 3 starts over there for you, Jacula

8:21 pm

*giggle*

8:21 pm

i once pushed ex straight out of bed while i was sleeping and nightmaring.

8:21 pm

my husband wakes himself up aswell but then he snorts more and then pumps!!

8:21 pm

I think DA is more popular in the US than in Britain

8:21 pm

jmc - so glad you owned up to typing 'ergo'. I was pretty sure I hadn't typed it.

8:21 pm

lol mab

8:21 pm

haha

8:22 pm

its the lawyer in me

8:22 pm

i hooked one of my clients onto DA and now he keeps asking me about it :) like i'm the expert

achoo is my phantom today

8:22 pm

childs play peri

8:23 pm

Lil really means that her hubby farts. 'Pumps' is just a polite way of putting it. But, these days, it could be taken in an entirely different way, making us think that she's about to give us a porno post.

8:23 pm

he he

8:23 pm

hi, babblers!

8:23 pm

ty for that explanation i was scratching my head

8:23 pm

what jac?? porno post??

8:23 pm

hi welki

8:24 pm

yes, pump means fart up north

8:24 pm

who snores? no snoring here - we're a couple of cpap'ers!

8:24 pm

babble is soooo educational

8:24 pm

could not believe that not one of us, but both of us have sleep apnea!

8:24 pm

ty for re6

8:25 pm

I'm sure as I can be that some unseen hand should separate couples after they go to sleep together and then magic them back into the same bed together when they awake. That way, both would get a good night's sleep!

8:25 pm

50 left and calling it a night...happy babbling everyone

8:25 pm

'Bye Sea!

8:25 pm

pump = fart *puts into memory - honey? did you pump?*

8:25 pm

aww, weiki, twin c-paps

LIL - I know what 'pump' means 'up North', but couldn't resist having a laugh.

8:27 pm

my bairn and hubby pump all the time, and loudly and smelly :)...sorry tolower the tone :)

8:27 pm

ah that is where i went wrong mab!

8:27 pm

now that's a benefit to cpap - you're breathing filtered air :)

8:28 pm

pump away!

8:28 pm

it seems to me that teenagers are very nice to everyone but their parents

8:28 pm

i know, you've shown me up jac...saying that, i've now done it for myself:)

8:28 pm

mab - that is very true!

8:28 pm

haha people would always tell me what a polite son i had and i would say "who?"

8:28 pm

i like teenagers individually. in groups they're insufferable

8:28 pm

8:58 pm

<---vindicated

8:59 pm

Im back for my last 160 words lol

8:59 pm

sorry about that - entering a blank

8:59 pm

ma+a shout anagram mkg

8:59 pm

as in oak, weeping willow, etc

8:59 pm

i thought you were thoughtless about that ;-)

8:59 pm

*Continues shedding tears for the poor man, stood up in the coffee shop*

8:59 pm

but my previous email said "No idea where Duboce is... I only have a teeny bit of SF knowledge. Just text me when you are done, or close to it, and I'll let you know where I am, prob will still be in the Laurel Heights area somewhere, but never know... I can wander far in 2-3 hours.".... and your email just says your that you are available by cell... no directions to call you. If you were going to change the plan, you should have been more specific...

9:00 pm

you are a sensitive soul Molly

9:00 pm

i really need sleep as they were the only tr5 i could think of....

9:00 pm

*hands molls a fresh hankie*

9:00 pm

so NOT vindicated ; )

9:00 pm

hi DR

9:00 pm

lol.. it wasn't meant to happen.. another time..

9:00 pm

hi dr and knight

9:01 pm

Hi JMC

9:01 pm

Hi Lilli

9:01 pm

jmc ty but still nto getting it. i thought it was ma and the ch5 meaning what you do at a football game when you ch*** for your team to win.

9:01 pm

so you aren't going to meet! *look of horror*

9:01 pm

but it wont take it.

9:01 pm

g'night folks

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

maybe staple a note on it or something

9:02 pm

night welki.tc

9:02 pm

trying. not getting it.

9:02 pm

jmc - it clearly just wasn't meant to be.... I guess the fates knew only something bad could come of the two of us being in the same place at the same time

9:02 pm

*sobs at the thought*

9:02 pm

*looks for another fresh hankie*

9:03 pm

<---getting verklempt

9:03 pm

here jmc. it's just a little damp.

9:03 pm

are you leaving now and cant get together?

9:03 pm

ok so after the ma. is it a cons or vowel?

9:03 pm

You two need an interpreter or something. Ru, maybe you need to brush up on other ways to say "let me know where you are". *Sobs*

9:03 pm

cons mkg

9:04 pm

must meet. don't believe in fate.

9:04 pm

ferklempt ruru.........not v but f.

9:04 pm

I don't text.. so that was part of the problem

9:04 pm

ty mab

9:04 pm

and Kje's english is somewhat limited

9:04 pm

even i text ru

9:04 pm

yes, we were discussing that - how can Weed's 75 year old grannie text, and you do not

9:04 pm

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, people dialed a number and placed a phone call. It's apparently a forgotten art form.

9:05 pm

ok still cant get it..............any more clues?

9:05 pm

<---Doesn't text either

9:05 pm

anyone else speak yiddish out there?

9:05 pm

i text.

9:05 pm

LOL Molly- My hubby had to use a rotary phone the other day and had no idea how to use it

9:05 pm

ma+shout but take off the last letter and put it after the first two

9:06 pm

ma4/7 and nearly the word for the big plants that have trunks and loads of leaves and grow upto the sky

9:06 pm

Apparently people have no idea how to use cell phones for calls anymore either.

9:06 pm

too bad... texting is so efficient

9:06 pm

i like texting--less intrusive but information gets passed on

9:06 pm

I hate telephones of all kinds. smoke signals are good.

9:07 pm

lol mab!

9:07 pm

so have you left SF kje?

9:07 pm

my point exactly molly

9:07 pm

yes, jmc... there are some thing much better by phone, some much better my text... depends on context

9:07 pm

well i dont know the plants nad i did the ch 5 word where i put last two letters after ma and then the first three and it says not in dict.

9:07 pm

Mab! I wish I had known. I had a great outdoor fire tonight.

9:08 pm

yes, jmc, back home... will likely not be back out there until May or June

9:08 pm

mkg did you see my clue at 9:05?

9:08 pm

the plants are the things that wood comes from mkg

9:08 pm

son't talk about smoke signals mab...our next door neighbour has put in a wood burning fire so everytime we have a window open we can smell it!!

9:08 pm

dearie me

9:09 pm

well i text so if you ever want to meet me some where feel free

9:09 pm

Ru, face it. We are not efficient. Let's meet for coffee and discuss that. I'll call you and let you know where I am.

9:09 pm

yes and tried it. i think i have wrong word for shout. i have ch*** with two same vowels.

9:09 pm

the plants are oak,palm etc....

9:09 pm

how dreadful, lil. that's polluting.

9:09 pm

dont know plants. sorry

9:09 pm

deal molly

9:09 pm

will do, jmc

9:10 pm

so take the shout word and take off the last letter and then take that letter and stick it in after the ch

9:10 pm

9:29 pm

so i was contacted by the local news.. they want more information on my situation re: doctor.

9:29 pm

my sis who I shared a room with growing up use to snore, I threw pillows at her until she would roll over and stop

9:29 pm

i just punch him, but he doesn't feel it!! lol

9:30 pm

what? what happened cos?

9:30 pm

what's the situation, cos?

9:31 pm

breathe-eeze maybe?

9:31 pm

dr's office called me today saying oh theyre so sorry they decided today they wont accept medicare patients

9:31 pm

that's so unethical!

9:32 pm

less than 24 hrs before appointmen. and this isnt the first time its happened to me. i bitched about it on the local news facebook page.. they contacted me and told me toplease contact them with more info

9:32 pm

i mean, they gave you an appointment.

9:32 pm

exactly mab!

9:32 pm

so some babblers suggested i contact the media.. and seems like it was a good idea

9:33 pm

let us know when you segment is aired, we will youtube you ; )

9:33 pm

sounds like they deserve some bad press

9:34 pm

lol kje ok :P and yea.. im gonna raise hell. ive put up with this from various doctors for 3 years now. ive had enough

9:36 pm

bad bad bad

9:36 pm

probably has to do with the reimbursement rates they are getting ... or not getting

9:37 pm

i hope the publicity gets you some resolution!

9:37 pm

health care in america is something to be ashamed of.

9:37 pm

phantom word: calories

9:38 pm

the reimbursement rate problem is significant, but to cancel an appointment...

9:38 pm

I wish all calories were phantom

9:38 pm

the reimbursement for primary care is a problem

9:38 pm

me too-

9:39 pm

what is that lone lower a?

9:39 pm

i tried to figure that one out for half an hour, k.

9:39 pm

ac 7 kje

9:39 pm

it is driving me nuts, fran

9:40 pm

phantom achoo

9:40 pm

which I guess earns me a phantom bless you

9:40 pm

high card + another name for coke, change the C t another letter

9:40 pm

i know! i thought it was the land-related ac4/5, but noooo

9:40 pm

or..

9:41 pm

thanks, cos!!

9:41 pm

high card + first 4 letters of another way to spell relief (commercial)

9:41 pm

that was it

9:41 pm

the cherry

9:41 pm

ty ty ty

9:42 pm

yw

9:44 pm

hi all! 80 left, and can't seem to get excited about them... *yawn*

9:44 pm

how do you spell ou la?

9:45 pm

like wall-la - there ya go, ta-da?

9:45 pm

hi rbud, 73 of those don't exist, that's what i have left. :-)

9:45 pm

ouila?

9:45 pm

voila, kje

9:45 pm

Voila

9:45 pm

And hi!

9:46 pm

i think

9:46 pm

hi pam!!

9:46 pm

that's right, voila!

9:46 pm

oh good, confirmation. :-)

9:46 pm

3 babblers can't be wrong, k. :-)

9:47 pm

I think ouila may be ouch

9:47 pm

well, really there's some little accent over one of the letters, Ithink, but...

9:48 pm

thanks! that makes more sense

9:48 pm

voilà

9:48 pm

oh wow, rbud has a moving icon!

9:48 pm

But I figured why be that technical. :)

9:48 pm

there ya go pam! ty

9:49 pm

because you are pam?

9:49 pm

i know! has scrabs seen it? i think she'd like it.

9:49 pm

nice, pam, i don't know how to put those little thingamabobbers.

9:49 pm

scrab would steal it

9:49 pm

yay, that's it, I just figured if I tried to put in the accented letter, it would look like weird Russian or something, like things do in people's profiles sometimes.

9:49 pm

May I please have a clue for or6-21? Thanks

9:50 pm

that's one of the ones i'm missing too, peach. let me look

9:50 pm

Oh, Scrabs is very welcome to use it if she likes, I know how she likes bunnies. :)

9:50 pm

Oh, rbud, I love your bunny!

9:51 pm

oooo, that gave me 3 or's

9:51 pm

none are 6/21 though

9:51 pm

Thanks, Fran, It has been hiding from me for a while.

9:53 pm

Thanks! A couple of years ago I made a big effort to find 32 x 32 moving icons because they work here, but some told me it was distracting, so I stopped. Have quite a few on file.

9:54 pm

I like it- not distracting at all

9:54 pm

what word is right before it peach?

9:55 pm

help with the re6/24 before the water plants?

9:55 pm

re- sound-ound-ound

9:55 pm

ty KJE!

9:55 pm

thanks, kje! awesome clue

9:56 pm

yw

9:56 pm

It isn't so much distracting as "there." If i had a headache, I'd block chog. But that's me, and I would never want something so cute to be "banned" for me!

9:56 pm

oh no, we can't ban cuteness!

9:56 pm

well, it's one of the more "subdued" ones, lol! :)

9:57 pm

finally cleared the bottom E! 68 to go!

9:57 pm

still looking for that or6/21, peach!

9:57 pm

I don't do well with blinking/flashing things. But, again, that's strictly me....

9:58 pm

Thanks, Fran, I can't find it.....

9:58 pm

do you have the list, peach? what word is right before it?

9:59 pm

yes, I can see for migraines, or seizure disorder, it might not be ideal

9:59 pm

the bunny has just enough movement to be cute without being seizure-inducing. lol

10:00 pm

Fran, I think it is the whale.

10:00 pm

okay, that's what i was afraid of...i hate Cs!

10:02 pm

ok, that is it for me... I go to bed sans FW tonight... alas

10:02 pm

gnight KJE

10:02 pm

night, kje!

10:02 pm

sleep well!

10:03 pm

gn all - happy babbling, whether in the game or not ; )

10:03 pm

Niters K

10:03 pm

or6 = or + a migraine is a head****

10:04 pm

that's an or 6/24

10:05 pm

It's the or6-21, hon.

10:05 pm

ugh, sorry, peach, i have to go make dinner now. not finding anything that makes sense. :-)

10:06 pm

That is OK, thanks for looking.

10:06 pm

or 6/21 - or + most common vowel plus the 15th of March, singular

10:06 pm

Thanks, rbud!

10:06 pm

eureka! thanks rbud! i thought i tried that earlier!

10:07 pm

and the plural is there too.

10:07 pm

ty Rbud

10:07 pm

thank goodness i can go make dinner now. :-)

10:07 pm

Thanks, rbud and Fran.

10:07 pm

later, peeps!

10:07 pm

I kept trying it w'out the last vowel, thought it was a word.

10:07 pm

later

10:08 pm

but I guess that's oread, not here.

10:09 pm

rbud, this is, for me, one of the harder grids.

10:10 pm

it IS a stinker, I agree.

10:14 pm

I still have 19 to go...I'll wait for the flip....thanks for all the help....

10:18 pm

oooooh, rbud, your bunny is moving!

10:19 pm

Hi MRP
