12:33 am

oh had no idea, just a regular photo same as my last one...

12:33 am

sorry

12:33 am

Or as I said below, see my bio for how to resize it so that the chog isn't all jerky. I've been roundly ignored.

12:34 am

not ignored just lost in the grid

12:34 am

not watching chog closely

12:34 am

I realise

12:34 am

who's a jerk in the chog

12:34 am

probably me

everything looks fine in my display

12:35 am

hi ruru!

12:35 am

hi fran..hi jilli

12:35 am

yes, rasta, but try scrolling

12:35 am

hi ruru

12:36 am

Not fine in mine. Just shows the top of a humongous photo...

12:36 am

peps

scrolling the chog? It all looks fine to me.

12:36 am

hello all..it's big but what a beautiful dog

12:36 am

hi west!

12:36 am

oops -- off to the PB

12:36 am

hi fran

12:36 am

Is it a dog? I couldn't see anything

12:36 am

hi west

is it Mac?Is it Chrome? I see nothing unusual

12:37 am

hee hee...especially since i have that one already, jilli. ;-)

12:37 am

hi jilli

12:37 am

it is a big pic...but i have no problem with slow chog or scrolling either

12:37 am

hello all - reflection in pug's eyes (dog) looks like he is watching an underwater scene

12:37 am

rasta, click on pug's icon -- you'll see a huge picture. They make the chog jerky.

12:38 am

hi ur4, you're in the grid today. ;-)

12:38 am

just changed it

12:38 am

didn't mean to cause such an uproar

12:41 am

night pugmama!

12:41 am

Well, I see pug has changed her icon from the big picture of a dog -- I wish she had just resized it because I would have liked to see it. I have put a link in my bio to help, but I guess that's too much trouble.

12:41 am

not tonight dear I'm whooped

12:41 am

she did resize it, jilli

12:42 am

I'll tend to that another time but thanks for the tip

12:42 am

I had no clue how

12:42 am

it's the same dog i saw earlier.

12:42 am

nighty all

12:42 am

12:43 am

just seasons 1 and 2 though.. season 3 will be on soon i hope

12:44 am

phantom: peruse

12:44 am

cos, I thought Season 3 won't be out until 2013, although I heard it will be out in the UK in September.

12:44 am

ah.. thanks for the info.

12:44 am

ahhhh ok.. theres only been 2 seasons then?

12:44 am

Fran -- re pug's icon -- now when I click on it I see a certoon, not the dog.

12:45 am

*cartoon

12:45 am

thats right. the new season is season 3 and yes.. early 2013 is right. thanks jill!

12:45 am

how strange, i see a smaller pug picture.

12:45 am

that will be here before we know it cos

12:45 am

12:45 am

fran thanks for the link

12:46 am

fran, I'll go out and back in.

12:46 am

yw, west!

12:46 am

woo hoo, found the sh9

12:46 am

still no 8 here lol

12:46 am

no, jilli, it's probably still in my cache. she did say she changed the picture.

12:47 am

nope -- now I see the cartoon here for pug, not any dog at all.

12:47 am

I have been watching old re-runs of Perry Mason and something is wrong with the date..says it was first shown in 2093. My how time flies.

12:47 am

there's an sh8?

12:48 am

What browser are you using, fran? Although I prefer Firefox, Babble defaults to IE, much to my regret. How can I change that?

12:48 am

i'm using Safari, jIlli. you have to change your user settings to make firefox your default browser.

12:49 am

and i wish i remembered how to do it on a PC

12:49 am

sh9

12:50 am

i have the same problem jill! its annoying.

12:50 am

and I wish I had a clue, fran, lol!

12:50 am

fran- firefox is my default. but expert ignores that.

12:51 am

what's expert?

12:51 am

me too, cos

12:51 am

Babble Expert, fran -- puts everything on one page plus other goodies. Did you leave before it arrived?

12:51 am

he9

12:52 am

i must have jilli

12:52 am

Just email mrp and ask for it -- great time-saver

12:52 am

ok must go and get beauty rest....luck all around the grid...just here for some late night relaxation from our busy days...nitey nite and poofey...*<:o)

12:52 am

I use firefox but I run it on google. No problem

12:52 am

Tired again -- time to give up here.

12:57 am

12:58 am

I'm glad you have time

12:58 am

Oh MPitt -- enjoy every day -- the cruise sounds wonderful.

12:58 am

are you doing too much too soon jilli?

12:59 am

you'll have to let us know where you went MPitt when you get a minute

1:00 am

I don't think so, west -- had our Happy Hour here tonight and this time did it all myself -- it was fun. Patrick and dorothy are back from Tenerife but Dorothy didn't come -- has a streaming cold and didn't want to give it to me.

1:01 am

phantom: shlep

1:01 am

Happy Hour all by yourself sounds like a lot..but glad you enjoyed it

1:02 am

do Patrick and Dorothy like to travel? Maybe they'll go with you to Australia in October.

1:02 am

Not a big deal, west -- but I do tire sooner than I used to these days. Still healing.

1:04 am

Nice thought, west, but they are busy -- Pat is working full time on the next book - did so in Tenerife too.

1:04 am

oh good, one of my phantoms from the other day is in the grid

1:04 am

I wish I knew which one, fran!

1:05 am

ar6, ends like a red flower

1:05 am

ugh netflix isnt working on the wii... guess illhave to watch it on the kindle fire instead

1:05 am

thanks fran!

1:05 am

yw, cos!

1:06 am

Yes ru....time is so important to us...and the cruise although the ship had troubles, cancelled ports and excursions...many people complained..Royal Caribbean refunded full fare....but we had a wonderful time...if only people would realize that blips in the plans are only small stuff in perspective to dealing with terminal cancer...who cares about a change in a cruise at least we are alive! The big C changes your life forever and makes you realize what really is important! There is always hope, we believe in miracles and the wonders of science!

1:07 am

I have an ar 5 like that, but not an ar6

1:07 am

stick another vowel before the flower ending of the ar5

1:08 am

tyty fran!

1:08 am

Americans are so friendly

2:53 am

I'm happy to hear that

2:54 am

but the American governments are like the rest of the world

2:54 am

so true

2:55 am

like everything else some good and some not so good

2:56 am

yes and i thing when this portion of the "not so good" own alot of power it maginifying its effect so ut appears bigger than it is

2:56 am

we have photos in paper this morning of a politician over 10 years - from skinny young firebrand to fat and bloated greedy bullfrog now

2:57 am

greed is not good

2:57 am

hehheh they hide money in their belly Ursh

2:58 am

remember Michael Douglas in Wall Street?

2:59 am

I dont know her but I see the ocupy wll street movenment in the news

2:59 am

oh this is the actor?

2:59 am

yes

2:59 am

3:00 am

Occupy Wall Street has pretty much come and gone

3:00 am

this guy has bought and demolished a 3 million rand house which he is going to rebuild for a further 4 million and has done all this on a mediocre salary ??!!

3:01 am

and 'donations'

3:01 am

oh yes west lots and lots of donations

3:02 am

actors and athelites earn alot of money , way more than even the most brielent scientest

3:02 am

oh well thats politics so will rather get agitated about not finding words

3:02 am

that is so sad

3:03 am

ues the scale of good is upside down :)

3:03 am

I remember reading that bus drivers made more than college professors

3:04 am

oh well if we had all that money where would we spend it?

3:04 am

Just hope we dont descover a greedy person on us

3:04 am

hey west - i could give it a bash !!

3:05 am

I suppose I could too but money can't buy happiness

3:06 am

I think someone said that

3:06 am

5:00 am

max (pictured) disappeared during the night and I've don'e everything I could so find him and leave numbers everywhere. I am beside myself.

ty

5:01 am

so sorry to hear that Ruby

5:01 am

Please pray for him!

5:01 am

hi ruby - sorry for your distress

5:02 am

I've called the police, gendarmes, spa, all the neighbors, lefts my number everywhere

does she tend to wander ruby?

5:02 am

this is the first time in his 8 years that he's been off the property

5:02 am

he must have dug under the garden fence

thats strange so hope for you that he's found

5:03 am

he's probably spending happy time with a female feline

5:03 am

he doesn't know about cars and there is a lot of traffic on these small roads, so I fear the worst

5:05 am

ends

5:05 am

tend

5:05 am

teed

5:05 am

ees teen

5:05 am

toes

5:05 am

holse

5:05 am

sorry -- obviously to crazy to play. Thought I could relax, won't o that again

Don't worry, ruby. I'm sorry to hear about Max. I hope he's found quickly and not any the worse for his adventures.

(I meant, don't worry about putting a few words in the chog - telling you not to worry about Max would be idiotic).

5:16 am

Good early morning to everyone, guys. Does anyone have the clue list?

I think there's one in hootowl's profile, HF.

5:21 am

Thank you so much. Found it. How do you people come across those things. Is there an online generator somewhere that does it or something?

5:24 am

I don't know what else to do

How close is your nearest vet's office? Have you called them, Ruby? Someone might think to take him there, since he's obviously not a stray.

HF ... I dunno, I haven't even finished a grid for ages, myself.

5:25 am

I've called the vete and the "pet emergency" number

I don't have a dog, so I'm not sure where they're likely to bee-line for, once away from their usual territory. Do any of your neighbours have female dogs that aren't 'fixed'?

5:31 am

maxis very strange, autistic (yes, really, and on prozac), he's not neutered and there are no females around

5:31 am

he is very quiet and sweet and seemed to have no interest in ever going off the property

He's very probably just followed his nose to something exciting. Hopefully, he'll find his way back without incident, or someone will find *him* and get him to a vet/shelter, where they'll know you're looking for him.

Do you have another dog? If that one needs walking, perhaps walking your usual route would be an idea? *is sorry for not having more helpful suggestions*

5:39 am

THAT WAS WHAT i DID FIRST THING THIS MORNING; i TOOK rUBY ON HER USUAL WALK, seeing various neighbors along the way

5:40 am

this is just too horrible, especially considering my husband's fragile state! Max was his dog at least much much as mine

If you've alerted anyone who might recognise him, and anyone to whom he might be taken, the only other thing I can think of is a flyer in the nearest post office - or busy local shop - with a picture.

5:42 am

our handyman is, as we speak, making posters

5:42 am

I've notified as many people as I could and now just sitting by the phone

:::hugs::: he's so obviously a well cared for dog that anyone who sees him will probably think to look for a collar ... does he have an information tag?

5:44 am

no coller, no tag. Since he's never been off th property, we were afraid he'd get caught in a shrub, wearing a collar

5:44 am

he has a tattoo, but that was done in Canada and I have no idea what info it holds

Does he have an identity chip?

5:44 am

He is very rare, though, nobody here has ever seen a black chow

5:45 am

has anyone talked to mrp.. hope all is ok with her

I doubt he'll go unnoticed for long. I know the roads are a worry, but he's more likely to be off in some wooded area chasing squirrels.

5:46 am

I hope you're right, city, but I can't quite picture him chasing anything lol (ruefully)

Well, I hope you get Max back quickly and unhurt. I have to go, but I'll be back later and will check the chog, and I really hope there'll be good news! :::hugs::: good luck, Ruby.

6:00 am

(((Ruby))) I just lit a candle and said a prayer for Max's safe return.

6:17 am

was just reading your posts about Max, Ruby . . .crossing fingers and toes that he returns to you safely and quickly -- big big hugs!

6:43 am

wasup w/this?

6:53 am

name that proper noun! high end cosmetics store

6:55 am

sephora

6:55 am

ding ding ding!

6:56 am

anyone have the bottom H?

6:56 am

Hi all. Just can't find the second ar5, and the following ar6. Any clues? I DO hope Max is OK, ruby.

6:56 am

Name that proper noun! Mid range mic

6:57 am

ar6 insert extra vowel in "got up"

6:57 am

unless... that's not the one you want.

6:58 am

I've got that one. Thought it was the first ar6. Oh dear. What am I missing?

6:58 am

no no, it probably is the first.

6:59 am

drug c***** (gang), and pl

6:59 am

thanks :)

7:00 am

Shure

7:01 am

Was that drug clue for me, hurshy?

7:01 am

yes

7:01 am

Oh dear. Haven't a clue then! Thanks anyway.

7:02 am

it kinda rhymes with... weights on a long pole that you lift at the gym

7:03 am

I was answering Godthaab's question

7:03 am

Ooh! In a flash of brilliance, light dawned! Thanks hurshy.

7:03 am

i thought so, molly

7:03 am

And what a clever clue!

7:04 am

so... nobody has the bottom h?

7:04 am

Okay, just didn't want to appear as though I was typing random words into the chat log. : )

7:04 am

people often do type random words in the chat log but one kinda gets to know people and i thought in your case it was more likely the mic.

7:05 am

bottom H... kind of a slang word for a laugh sound

7:05 am

I have. It's a king of snigger (pl)

7:05 am

I meand 'kind'

7:06 am

Hurshy, you are right!! (I was away for a bit)

7:06 am

ah thanks!

7:06 am

well give molly her dings then :)

7:06 am

Sorry, that was Molly (yikes)

7:07 am

Thanks Monkey, that is the slangiest of slang. Can't believe it works here.

7:07 am

i wish i could find more of the bottom T's... all i have is the green growing thing.

7:07 am

As for knowing the microphone, one of the perks of hanging out with musicians most of my life. : )

7:09 am

What do you play?

7:09 am

duh, she plays BABBLE!

7:10 am

In F# minor!

7:10 am

LOL

7:12 am

7:16 am

Reeds - fl. all saxes, B. Clar, clar., a bit of violin ( I was going to be the next Heifitz (sic), piano

7:16 am

i wanted to take up the english horn, but they don't seem to sell cheap ones.

7:17 am

No, that's an expensive axe. The cost of reeds alone would kill you.

7:17 am

i want to play something with no replacement parts, but i want it to be a wind instrument that isn't a high one. i guess there is no such thing.

7:18 am

Bass clarinet, bassoon, bari sax

7:18 am

recorder - bass recorder

7:18 am

those don't have reeds?

7:19 am

i do have a recorder but just the one i got in 4th grade :)

7:19 am

Clue please for re 6/21

7:19 am

Oh, yes they do. I see what you mean by "replacement parts".

7:19 am

hi folks - the last e from the top left is ea 4 (french)

7:19 am

probably plastic - there are really nice wooden ones - no reeds

7:19 am

Bass recorder is cool. Hugh Whatsisface plays one.

7:19 am

thank you JBV!

7:20 am

well i will look into the bass recorder to add to my regular one!

7:20 am

thanks, jbv

7:20 am

now my 1st two columns are all grey!

7:21 am

My whole chatterbox was red. Telling me if it persists to contact Dr._God. Did anyone e*** have that problem?

7:21 am

i did not have that problem

7:21 am

no - at least not yet

7:23 am

hmm, the tenor recorder seems to be much more affordable than the bass... what other instruments' ranges are each of these comparable to (clarinet, oboe...?)

7:25 am

clue for the e's in last column for nbt?

7:25 am

one is ep5/14

7:26 am

ty, looking...

7:27 am

the ep5 also has what may a plural (add a vowel)

7:27 am

what may be* a plural

7:27 am

I'll need to get someone to check the roof . . . hail was unbelievable

7:40 am

hey, peri :-)

7:41 am

the pictures in the paper this morning are horrific

7:41 am

there is a story on one of our local stations that a baby was found in the middle of a field, alone and alive after the tornado passed through the town

7:41 am

so disastrous for a number of communities :-(

7:42 am

i saw that, mom!! a little blonde blue-eyed girl -- they found her family but . . . WOW

7:42 am

I cant imagine what the parents of that baby went through

7:42 am

Oh, so glad to hear that baby is okay. What a story.

7:42 am

Hi all - our thoughts are with you who have had the weather inflicted on you.

7:43 am

hi kazzer

7:43 am

Hello Kazzer

7:43 am

it was a toddler . . they assume she was blown into the field . . . truly miraculous

7:43 am

Thoughts and prayers for those who were not as fortunate and Une and I were. Bless them all

7:44 am

i'm sure the folks who found her thought they were hallucinating!!

7:44 am

we have been gardening today - concreting in the base for the green house - we have also constructed the greenhouse base.

7:44 am

Ditto, mom

7:44 am

If she remembers anything that will be something to tell her grandchildren

7:44 am

hey, kazz -- happy gardening!

7:44 am

Wow, there must have been two babies found then. The story I read was about a little boy.

7:44 am

Kazzer, that sounds like a major undertaking

Mom - my hubby has got the diy bug - it looks really good - he got some decking planks and cut them to length then used corner post to screw them all together and then used postcrete to concrete then in the floor. That was the easy bit - there are loads of little bits for the actual greenhouse

7:48 am

e + cam**** is in moth balls and plural with a vowel

7:48 am

Kazzer, you will have to post a picture when it is completed. I would love to see it

8:37 am

hey, welki -- twas scary but I came out of it unscathed -- had lots of rain and mindblowing hailstorm but no damage . . . whew

8:38 am

odd word, Une

8:38 am

perp not a word. What happened to the perp walk

8:38 am

Yes, I have been thinking of our US Babblers in the tornado zones.

8:38 am

as you know, many others didn't fare so well

8:38 am

hey, scrabs :-)

8:38 am

another day of terrible loss for many :(

8:38 am

it makes me nuts that enable doesn't take perp . . . harumph! :-)

8:39 am

Yes, I have been watching the Weather CHannel since last evening.

good to hear, une. hello scrabs

8:39 am

I thought tornados mostly came in the spring. Not spring yet

8:39 am

and there were miraculous stories . . . like the little toddler who was found standing in a field -- they found her family but aren't sure how she got there

8:39 am

bichon, we've had a VERY exceptional winter!!

8:40 am

hey, TO :-)

8:40 am

He5 simplex virus. I saw a kid with primary HSV mouth/lip infection yesterday---poor kid--blisters + sores all over.

8:40 am

bichon - your said it - mostly.

8:40 am

Amazing, Une.

8:40 am

poor kid :-(

8:40 am

poor kid . . . not the little girl, but scrabs' patient!

8:41 am

She'll get better.

the exceptionally warm winter is making it an early spring, so tospeak

8:41 am

how does a kid get herpes?

8:42 am

I think of the lost and injured animals in the storm areas.

8:42 am

scrabs, i was about to say . . .

8:42 am

Herpes isn't just a STD

8:42 am

Oops, PB for me.

8:42 am

i'm linked into several rescue websites and they're begging for financial help as well as hands-on help

8:42 am

SH7's after you'vr taken up the hem? I'm just not seeing them. Help, please.

8:44 am

The recurrences are lip sores but the primary infection involves sores, blisters and ulcers on lips, gums and in mouth.

8:44 am

I absolutely love Italian food.

Purim is coming up

8:58 am

8:58 am

My grandma from Italy made the BEST food. How I miss her.

8:58 am

Don't think I'm making prune, but won't rule it out

8:58 am

i like poppy seed hamantaschen

8:58 am

A hamantaschen is made in the shape of King Haman's the tyrant

8:59 am

Italian food is a major food group, followed by Chinese

8:59 am

LOL, in the shape of the King's hat

live dangerously, try a sflogliatelle or a wheat pie

8:59 am

oh owl - seashells from heaven :)

9:00 am

clue for re 6/21

i never met a pastry i didn't like !

9:00 am

How can I be stuck with 119 to find?

uh oh, welki needs an easter care package

9:00 am

I just had a sflogliatelle yesterday. Delish

9:00 am

if only, owl *lol*

9:01 am

Is there a list anywhere?

9:01 am

don't have any prunes in the house, but do have dried apricots

9:01 am

Jacula has a list and I put hers in my profile

well, it could be arranged. at least some weding cookies.

9:01 am

maybe it's a good thing i'm not moving back east anytime soon - wouldn't take long before i was 300 pounds

9:01 am

thanks, teach

welki did you see ata's fb post re fishing? I thought of you

9:02 am

yvw

9:02 am

hey, you know what i found? a decent recipe for a replica of ol' fashioned date nut bread (which you cannot find up here)

ooh, like the kind they sell in the refrigerated case - neumann's?

do they still make that?

9:02 am

yessssss

9:02 am

(to both)

9:03 am

Silly bunny Beatrix just ran our from under the couch, hopped to her room, and came back. She used her litter box in her room--smart bunny!

9:03 am

oh i don't know if they still make it, but now i can at least have a reasonable facsimile :)

9:03 am

good bunny :D

9:03 am

hi all -- just showing the game to a friend :)

9:04 am

neumann's is the round loaf in crinkly plastic wrap, right?

9:04 am

Bunnies know where to go. It still amazes me to watch them.

9:04 am

*goes on best behaviour mode* hi, nan!

9:04 am

Hi Nan's friend. Let the Babble force be with you. Membership is a worthwhile buy.

yes, or a small loaf. with temptee. excpet kraft bought out temptee and of course added guar gum and crap

9:05 am

Phantom = steppe

9:06 am

Scrabler, I just found a baby bunny in my back yard. Is there anyway I can help it?

Good morning once again babblers, I lost internet connection earlier

9:07 am

i was talking with annie last week about vegetable cream cheese - and no matter how i try, there's an ingredient in it that i can't seem to find in order to make it taste like it came from a bagel store

9:07 am

Was the bunny hopping around? Are the ears laid back or standing up? The latter means it is weaned and on its own.

9:07 am

Hi Nono

9:07 am

i can get the texture just right - but there's one flavor missing

Morning Scrabs, a lovely sunny day so far

9:08 am

Standing up, but he's so tiny yet. Just adorable.

hmm. i had a recipe for a vegetable mayonnaise, i wonder if that would help

9:08 am

welki, scallions, carrots and green pepper are the ingredients they use, I think

9:08 am

Sunny and the big winds continue. Power outages exist north of Buffalo.

scrabbler that is very intersting about the ears being indicative of development

oh noooo, we have warnings for wind but so far rather calm

9:09 am

Baby bunnies are unbelievably cute. They fit in your hand and you just want to smooch them up.

9:09 am

yes - and there's something else, maybe in the cream cheese, that's missing (and i've had some with cucumber in it, too)

annie do you think there is garlic in it as well?

9:09 am

mklein, do you have the bunny now?

9:09 am

Thats for sure.

9:10 am

I never tasted veggie cc with the taste of garlic

9:10 am

Yes. I can't turn him loose in my yard - I have dogs

9:10 am

oh well, will have to wait until i visit for the cream cheese - besides, not much good to have the cream cheese on icky bagels

9:11 am

Baby bunnies, well all bunnies, are prey animals.

of course, kraft makes vegetable cream cheese *gag8

9:11 am

Is there a wildlife rehab person or place near you, mklein?

9:11 am

i don't think so. much as i love garlic - I haven't tasted it in vegetable crem cheese (which I love too, bu NOT kraft)

9:11 am

not the same, Owl

9:11 am

Hi Doren

tell me about it, annie!

9:12 am

I will have to buy some veggie cc and do a taste test

9:12 am

hi dorens

9:12 am

clue for re 6/21 pls

9:12 am

I don't think so. There are for birds, but not mammals.

ho doren. doren is near totowa and pastry. lucky lucky doren.

9:13 am

hello . and no, right now i am in cambridge babysitting for the entire weekend

9:13 am

Is there a wooded or brush-filled area you could bring it too?

9:13 am

re + listen

oh. welki needs a new jersey care package.

9:13 am

Fun, fun, Doren. How old are the kids now? 5 and 2?

9:13 am

matches, to listen again

9:14 am

what pastry in totowa owl? don't know it.. but I avoid pastries like the plague (for the most part). yes scrabs, + 1/2 for each. very important 1/2

9:14 am

I see welki beat me to it

9:14 am

ty annie and welki got it

9:14 am

Phoebe is busy creating a strawberry shortcake unicorn story book, complete with stickers. Levi is running around making up songs and dances

9:14 am

Every fraction is significant for the kids, Doren.

9:15 am

Yes. I also thought about putting it in my neighbors yard. It's fenced and she's not at home right now. Lots of cover too.

9:15 am

lucky dorens :)

9:15 am

That sounds better, mklein. No other bunnies around?

9:15 am

yes, welki, lucky indeed (and just a wee bit tired already)

9:15 am

<-- has "seen" shlep in the grid about a gazillion times

9:16 am

I dont think so. My dog actually found the little guy sleeping in a corner.

9:16 am

welki to the pb,... owl will supply the pastries

9:16 am

<--seeing shlep for the first of a gazillion times now

9:16 am

yes, but it's a good kind of weary, dorens - they're lucky to have you "near-ish" (i know it's a heckuva drive for you)

9:16 am

and i even put it in quotes! woohoo!

9:16 am

What did your dog do to it? Just sniff? Carry it to you?

the pastries are abudant and the espresso is hot

9:16 am

All he did was bark at it and wake me up, but i;m sure that wouldn't last.

9:16 am

well their parents are in baltimore now. Johns Hopkins is trying to steal my son away from harvard, so they are being wined and dined

9:17 am

He was totally confused by it.

9:17 am

Lucky bunny, mklein.

9:17 am

not sure how i feel about the baltimore trip vs the cambridge trip for me, but the decision is their parents

9:17 am

Indeed.

9:17 am

very nice, dorens, to be wooed like that! you must be VERY proud

9:17 am

Tough decisions for Jeremy and wife.

9:18 am

kje did her training at JHH

off now to get my license. happy babbling all and see you later

9:19 am

bye Owl

9:19 am

smile, smile, smile, owl!

9:19 am

Smile for your photo, Owl.

9:20 am

oh puhleese

9:20 am

and when you smile for the camera, i know i love you better. peg. *toddles off*

9:21 am

I passed halfway but am struggling to see words.

9:21 am

now i'll have steely dan in my head - well, better than shlep

9:22 am

gm

9:22 am

I must be the only person that doesn't remember song lyrics well.

9:23 am

Hi kje.

9:23 am

you have company Scrabs

9:23 am

'morning, kje - how's the florida crew this morning?

9:23 am

steely dan is great to have in the head. better than row row row your boat (theme for the day up here)

9:23 am

all doing well - it is raining, they went to the beach, I decided to stay dry ; )

9:24 am

9:24 am

9:25 am

welki, next time you come to nj you get owl and me, ok?

9:25 am

9:25 am

My only musical ability is listening. I never could learn to read notes, play instruments (several attempted), but I love listening.

9:26 am

weather forecast for tomorrow? (and i am all in favor vegging)

9:26 am

it will rain through most of today and night, then clear tomorrow, we will start race at 0700 at 48 degrees

9:26 am

would be better if we met out of jersey somewhere, a special trip - when in jersey, i'm emotionally obligated to spend time with kids/grandkids. i have a hard time doing anything else but loving them up :)

9:27 am

(red is our weather guru)

9:27 am

but you never know - i'm feeling like it's about time for another visit

9:27 am

ok, then philadelphia?

9:27 am

is there a link to the race?

9:28 am

unlikey, small potatos

9:28 am

(and kje? take video!! would love to see this crew in action!)

9:28 am

we need a large scale babble convention - terribly hard to organize, but i can dream

9:29 am

stuck with 28 left - maybe it's time for breakfast

9:29 am

video of what? what action? I am sitting on sofa in PJs vegging out.... no action!

9:30 am

9:48 am

excellent - my grandson

9:48 am

Doren, do you have a supply of Xanax?

9:49 am

should i?

9:49 am

oh cool, dorens... how old?

9:50 am

levi - 2 /12 and honestly will be a gifted musician. you should see him on drums, but harmonica is his favorite right now

9:50 am

fun

9:50 am

That's amazing, to see musical ability at age 2.

9:51 am

i'm sitting on couch snuggling with phoebe and she's reading her new story book creation, the strawberry shortcake unicorns.... he comes in carrying three harmonicas and says, I'm tired of my sister, and sits down and starts playing

9:51 am

well, honest little guy, isn't he - lol

9:51 am

scrab- did i tell you about jeremy and johns hopkins? he and liz are there this weekend being recruited... they want to steal him and are apparently offering a sweet deal

9:51 am

My brain is easily overstimulated with noise and activity, Doren, so I would struggle.

9:51 am

Cute.

9:52 am

i understand that -- something different when it is him though. in school it would drive me crazy, but he is my love

9:52 am

I saw that earlier, Doren. He should talk with kje--she trained there.

9:52 am

what's up?

9:52 am

he had been offered scholarship there for med school, but did harvard instead

9:52 am

applying for residency?

9:53 am

Way bigger, kje.

9:53 am

he is professor here (harvard) md/phd here in history of medicine. tenure track.

9:53 am

he should go to JHU - no place like it

9:54 am

Good morning!

9:54 am

his specialty is pharmaceutical industry interaction with med profession. i think he is strongly considering it.. but cambridge is such a great place for the family, + i love coming up here

9:54 am

hi car

9:54 am

What better history to be a part of than the first clinical medicine training program with Dr William Osler?

9:54 am

Whee! Got one of the 9's already!

9:54 am

hi car

9:54 am

Hi kje!

9:54 am

Hi Car

9:55 am

Hi Dorens! Hi Scrabs!

9:55 am

I have no 7's, 8's or 9's. *pout*

9:55 am

well, i think he is very likely going to end up there....

9:55 am

hello, I'm back. No news and we're both sitting around crying

9:56 am

congrats to him, dorens!

9:56 am

Ruby!!! What did I miss?

9:56 am

why cry ruby?

9:56 am

Max went missing during the night

9:56 am

Big congrats to him Dorens!!!!

9:56 am

Oh sweetie! I am so sorry. Hang in there.

9:56 am

oh no. hope he comes back

9:57 am

ah, ruby, so sorry

9:58 am

Is Max a dog or cat?

9:58 am

dog, scrab

9:58 am

Dorens, congratulations to your kids. That sounds like a very promising offer.

9:59 am

his a big, black, autistic chow chow (pictured here)

9:59 am

((Molly))

9:59 am

I studied pharmaceuticals in high school but gave them up as I got older

9:59 am

Ruby, I'm keeping the faith that Max will be back soon.

9:59 am

Oh, my. What a frantic feeling to have a missing pet.

9:59 am

well it does, but i hate to admit my selfish motive for them to stay at harvard

9:59 am

lovely, strange boy

9:59 am

Silly Ruru!

9:59 am

ahah ru, understandable

9:59 am

Nothing selfish about wanting to be close to your family.

9:59 am

that is great news, Dorens, how proud you must be!!!!

10:00 am

Hi ruru!

10:00 am

Ruru, I think the Yosemite/Sequoia trip will happen in June. My sister will know vacation days next week.

10:00 am

well yes. but the biggest problem is that i will lose my most favored #1 grandma status, which is shamefully important to me

10:00 am

Ruby...do all of your neighbors know that you are looking for him?

10:00 am

<---probably too many non pharmaceuticals too..

10:00 am

Is DIL's family in Baltimore?

10:00 am

yes, the neighbors, strangers, the gendarmes, the SOS veto

10:00 am

Nevertheless, Ruru, we love you very much.

10:00 am

the other grandparents live in Md, and they don't see them nearly as often as i do... other grandkids etc. (very perceptive, scrabbs)

10:00 am

that's exciting scrabs.. june is nice out here

10:01 am

I could use some pharaceuticals right now.....

10:01 am

i need to go to yosemite

10:01 am

me too

10:01 am

OK...many people are keeping an eye out for him. I have faith that he will be returned to you.

10:01 am

I am excited but also anxious about spending money.

10:01 am

ru, with all your lovely wines, you need no pharmaceuticals

10:02 am

Ruby, are people helping you?

10:02 am

thank you car., I need all the spiritual help I can get!

10:02 am

scrabs, don't you deserve it?

10:02 am

jmc just came in with Jack.... should get interesting

10:02 am

yes ruby, you have all of babbleonia sending telepathic messages to max to find his way home

10:02 am

I tell myself that, but I also tell myself to build an emergency fund.

10:02 am

Lots of people looking and lots of people praying. That is a good spiritual cloak Ruby.

10:03 am

JMC is out in Texas>?

10:03 am

10:04 am

10:15 am

10:16 am

I again voice my disagreement that airhose is not accepted.

10:16 am

good idea scrabs

And I appreciate your clues Scrabs....but I need the right hand E please.

hi, i am phoebe

10:18 am

Hi Phoebe. How was the lightsabres' battle?

10:18 am

Car, I'm debating the price of tuition for the medical transcription thing. Have you found it worth the investment?

10:18 am

your a bird?

10:18 am

hi phoebe

10:18 am

Hi Brandyjack!!!!

10:18 am

scrabbler, Thanks for the Bunny help. I released him in a pile of brush next to a grassy field. I changed my icon to his picture. Hes was so cute.

10:18 am

not so fun

10:18 am

hello phoebe

10:18 am

ooooh phoebe is on dorens account

10:18 am

So worth it! There used to be a cheaper course...ask about that. It doesn't include radiology and some other specialities.

10:19 am

levi kept hiyying me

10:19 am

Phoebe tell your grandmother to buy you lots of presents today

10:19 am

Thanks Car.

10:19 am

OK my goodness! baby bunny!!!! Squeeeeee

10:20 am

yes ruru

10:20 am

*squeal* mklein. Sadly, though, bunnies are prey animals. They exist to be eaten by coyotes, hawks, etc. But you are giving him a chance to enjoy life.

10:20 am

OK...chog is flying...why is Dorens now phoebe?

10:20 am

Because her granddaughter is typing

10:20 am

Hi all, Is there a list somewhere?

10:20 am

Her granddaughter

10:20 am

I know, but it's more of a chance than staying in my yard would have given him.

10:20 am

Usually Babanon, Strider

10:21 am

Oh good grief! I need even more coffee!!!!

10:21 am

phoebe is my granddaughter, the reason i am in cambridge.. she has been enjoying this, but i am putting the kabosh on now

10:21 am

Hi Strider!

10:21 am

how did bunnies get in here?

10:21 am

hlo strider

10:21 am

10:21 am

Thks.

10:22 am

10:22 am

Hi Crossy! Stay secure!

10:24 am

Tie yourself, wife and son down.

10:24 am

11:03 am

11:03 am

ohhhh .. a found a french loose lady! le5!

11:05 am

(not really - perhaps a saturday morning attempt at welkihumor *lol*)

11:07 am

there's actually another "loose woman" in the grid or rather seductive (?) h5

11:08 am

yep! hi shirl

11:11 am

yeeee hah...loose ladies

11:12 am

i must admit i still haven't go the le5 one

11:12 am

Not getting the he5 one. 5/22?

11:13 am

what a witch is

11:13 am

someone who casts a spell

11:14 am

Yeah, that's the 5/22. Don't quite think of that as seductive though. Just me.

11:14 am

le 5? le + like the hawaiian dance, missing a letter

11:14 am

thx welki, didn't know that was a loose madame

11:14 am

there's a ho5 that's seductive

11:15 am

I thought that was a tree. Shows what I know about loose women.

11:15 am

nah, the h part sounds like what someone might call a slutty gal

11:15 am

Oh, in Boston. Gotcha.

11:16 am

you guys lost me

11:16 am

sheesh - i have the banana-bread-that-is-taking-forever in the oven

11:16 am

think harem girl= ho5

11:16 am

Think of the W word for slut said by someone in Boston.

11:16 am

hooooo-a, ru - a hooooo-a is a slutty girl

11:19 am

yaa,power is back on with 30% left in the ups:) and crossy brekkies in on da stove:)

11:20 am

brunch*

11:21 am

Not getting the harem girl thing though. The ho 5/12 is part of a golf club.

11:22 am

(foil on the never-ending banana bread)

11:23 am

lol@ the never ending banana bread

11:25 am

greeks and romans called them hetaera (spelling varies), arabs call them ho***

11:25 am

and, at 3 a.m. the guys just call her, "Babe"

11:27 am

only if they are canadian or american.....

11:28 am

:)

11:29 am

<-- is both, but not a hetaera (would never admit it anyway)

11:29 am

oiks, that didn't sound right. delete, delete, delete

11:29 am

at least babble doesn't auto-correct.....

11:30 am

damn you, auto-correct! some of them are pretty funny

11:36 am

Which reminds me of the best bar line ever "Drink up baby, I get better looking as the night goes on"

11:36 am

(finally takes banana bread from the oven - or will end up with banana-bread-jerky)

11:37 am

umm, banana bread jerky lol

11:37 am

would be great for camping

11:38 am

(can't post bar lines in family chat)

11:38 am

i can't post them, molly - not you. mine are off color

11:39 am

i know there are compound words but can't put them together

11:39 am

later, folks - time to get moving (again)

11:40 am

don't bother looking for compounds

11:40 am

why welki?

11:40 am

Help, please-I use BabAnon's list but show 2 Ps & i H missing using tile stats-is there another list, please?

11:40 am

because as far as i can tell, i don't see them (i've finished)

11:41 am

check out jacula's or volleyballmom's profile

11:42 am

scribe - jacula has a list in her profile and i also have her list in my profile

11:55 am

11:56 am

yw

11:57 am

even after the clue and guessing the word, that one was hard to see with the H sitting in the bottom corner..

12:00 pm

Good morning everyone! So far this grid is a friendly, gentle one, I think.

12:00 pm

me too brandy

12:01 pm

morning Jan

12:01 pm

And good morning to you, Katie.

12:02 pm

my dog won't leave my side?

12:03 pm

morning all!

12:03 pm

nbt from the wee hours when I couldn't sleep...

12:03 pm

Morning, Sue!

12:03 pm

hello sue and congrats on nbt

12:03 pm

hi jan and wv!

12:04 pm

off for awhile to bake some cookies

12:04 pm

Sorry about your night's sleep--though my daughter used to call Babble my insomnia pal.

12:04 pm

(and this is what happens when you take sleeping pills at 2:30 am - you sleep until noon!)

12:05 pm

Hope it wasn't worry that was keeping you awake. Night worries are so annoying because the issues/problems just keep rattling around in circles with no progress. (At least for me...)

12:06 pm

it was my son - he's back with the crazy abusive girlfriend, and is over at her place now

12:07 pm

Oh no! It's so hard when you can see exactly what is going on, but the person involved is too close to the situation for perspective.

12:07 pm

maybe they will marry and move to a nice place....2000 mile away,with no phone service and you can have a little peace

12:08 pm

lol,sorry to be harsh,my family is also driving me bonkers this month

12:08 pm

he tells me it's all different now, but we found out because he was having one of those screaming crying arguments with her that he used to have all the time

12:08 pm

(((Sue)))

12:08 pm

and I would still worry, crossy, and would probably lose him completely if that happened - would break my heart

12:08 pm

although *I* am tempted to move 2000 miles away myself...

12:09 pm

((suze))

12:09 pm

... I love the "it's different this time story" ... ... it's the one that tells me I can walk away because "I'm wrong" ...

12:09 pm

*sigh*

12:10 pm

sue, been tempted to move myself, but as moms, the worry would go with us

12:10 pm

He's like an addict when it comes to her Sue and he's going to have to hit his own bottom.

12:10 pm

One of my colleagues teaches a ourse on domestic violence, and she says that often people in abusive relationships have to play out in several rounds. It's a very common and natural part of the dynamic, and she says that tsupporters of people in these relationships should understand this and know that it is a part of being able to see the relationship for what it is and ultimately get out and get on with their lives.

12:10 pm

((((ivesy)))) how is your son doing?

12:10 pm

but she almost killed him in the last round, jan; what is it going to take???

12:11 pm

Good advice Jan, sometimes hard to follow.

12:11 pm

doing quite well at the moment. they are putting him on suboxone, it curbs the urge to use opiates. one drug for another, but his is medically supervised ty

12:11 pm

a friend of mine has 3 children all 20 to 26 ALL of them moved back home,one of the GF,S pregnat.my friend sat down one day with his wife and looked at the chaos,saw they were never going to move out and adding to the population as fast as you can say natural child birth,so he went to the oldest son and his pregnant gf and sold them the house for 1 dollar and my friend and his wife moved out!

12:11 pm

ah, that is good to hear, ivesy

12:12 pm

time for lunch

12:12 pm

well, I can't give my son this house, the bank is going to take it, but I may give him my car if I can afford to buy a new one (maybe by the end of the year)

12:12 pm

see you later, pickles!

12:13 pm

evenutally your son will see the light. .it may take awhile and all you can do is be there for him, as im sure u are. one thing i found out. he will do opposite of what i suggest

12:13 pm

Absolutely true, Molly. My sister was in a very abusive relationship years ago, was hospitalized with serious injuries twice, and still couldn't get out of it at that time. She finally did, though. Ironically, he was killed some years later by police when he tried to run away from a shoplift he was committing. Strange that in the end, he was the victim of undeserved violence.

12:13 pm

I'm working on a letter to him - telling him that i will keep paying his tuition as long as he's in school, but won't support his relationship

12:14 pm

pretty much what i did with my son. i will buy u food, etc. but no cash exchanges hands.cant take the chance that he will use it to buy drugs

12:15 pm

Quite right, too, Sue. Supporting him emptionally doesn't mean approving of his choices, or supporting him financially in making them.

12:16 pm

... perhaps "you can't support the relationship because it's hurting you too much" ... ... perhaps it's less threatening and it presents a thought that there are other people being hurt besides him ... only a suggestion

12:16 pm

same here on the cash - I won't buy cigarettes or alcohol, so I am putting money on his "huskie bucks" - kind of a student debit card that the university, and some of the local restaurants, will take - so he can get a burger in the middle of the day if he needs it

12:16 pm

I'm not sure, but isn't there some kind of tax brak in the US for tuition payments? You should probably make them directly to the school and see if you are eligible for that.

12:17 pm

I already do pay the tuition directly to the school, but make too much for the tax break (since I am single)

12:18 pm

Too bad, then. I was hoping that our daughter would go to a school where there was a tuition exchange program with my uni, but no such luck.

12:18 pm

and thanks for the suggestion, dos

12:18 pm

canada has(had) a 30% tuition break for students,but that is being tossed this year,as well as funded daycare and the retirement is going up to 67 and the old age pensions are going to be income oriented.no more millionare snowbirds collecting canada and old age pension

12:18 pm

Sue, I hate to break this to you, but kids use those "school dollars" to pay for other people's food and get cash from them. My boss found out this was how her daughter was funding a drug problem.

12:19 pm

ah, he is going to the university where I teach so he gets a 50% discount on tuition, although the state legislature is talking about repealing it

12:19 pm

thats why i dont get jason food cards or any kind he can get cash for. has broken my trust too many times.

12:19 pm

So sorry to see that Canada is going down the 'cut all the social services and benefits' road that the US has gone down.

12:20 pm

... is that still available after you retire? Might that cause him a problem?

12:20 pm

ahh was wondering why no food cards,so you just get food for him direct so he does not swop the cards out

12:20 pm

and I'm sure he can find ways around things, molly; I'm not trying to control all his spending, just don't want to pay for the relationship (and I'm sure he could buy her food but I'm not talking about a lot of money on this card, maybe enough so he can go to McDonald's 3-4 times a week)

12:20 pm

my son gets , are u ready for this? $8 a month cash from soc. serv. thats to buy any non food item , tp, soap shampoo etc..

12:21 pm

yes crossy. i learned the hard way. gave him money for round trip bus ticket.. turns out he bought one way, used the other money for drugs. now i get the ticket

12:21 pm

8 dollars?

12:21 pm

That's crazy, ivesy, it's no wonder that folks in need turn to crime to support basic living necessities.

12:22 pm

and dos, as long as the law doesn't change, the 50% tuition break will still be available after I retire - only difference is that he can only use it at NIU and not at any of the other 11 state universities (but he wouldn't want to go to any of them anyway)

12:22 pm

yep 8 dollars.. amazing .. other people get hundreds depending on how many kids they have. they walk around with expensive cell phones, manicures..

12:23 pm

... just checking ... when my wife got laid off she continued to get the employee discount ... when I got laid off from the same place, I didn't ... just checking to make sure

12:24 pm

We have a colleague whose grown son has Tourrette's Syndrome and they've cut him off disability saying he ought to be able to support himself. Who would hire a 19 year old who frequently and uncontrollably bursts out in profanity and obscenities? Just crazy...

12:24 pm

Wait, wait, 8 dollars? What disability is he claiming for?

12:24 pm

I checked that before I signed the retirement papers, dos - tried to think of everything

12:25 pm

well Jan the replublican party thinks he could run for president

12:25 pm

te8? either one?

12:25 pm

this is thru soc services molly. they pay part of his rent, some food stamps and thats it. the $8 is on a debit card

12:25 pm

but he will be trying to get disablity pension thru the vets.. then he can drop all the soc services

12:27 pm

Funny but kind of true, ruru. I recall a funny cartoon in the paper, entitled "The Republican Medical Care Plan." It showed a guy with a bullhorn yelling, "Don't get old! Don't get sick!"

12:27 pm

he's a veteran, ivesy?

12:27 pm

yes thank god.. dont know what we would have done without the vets hospital here

12:28 pm

uh-oh, thought I had nbt but I don't, still need the lower right e

12:28 pm

i like that jan lol.. unfort its true

12:28 pm

Can't help you there, Sue. I'm down to 30 left and still don't have that e

12:29 pm

ah, a lot of veterans come back with serious addiction and mental health issues - I think we owe them all the help we can give them (and for their physical issues as well)

12:30 pm

could be el4/5 (there are 2, but might come from

12:30 pm

and shirlock, I have no words over 6 letters

12:30 pm

the 4th column e

12:30 pm

bottom right e - sounds like effor

12:30 pm

evening all

12:30 pm

keeping our fingers crossed that he can get the disablity.. would be a great help.. .

12:30 pm

I have one el4/5, will look for the other one

12:30 pm

and effor - eye

12:30 pm

right e = e + cam**** and then the weird plural with a vowel

12:31 pm

Thanks Glantarell

12:31 pm

yes, that's it wv ep5 and 6

12:31 pm

but i have nothing form the 3rd colum R

12:31 pm

ohed

12:31 pm

need that for NBT

12:31 pm

Oops...

12:31 pm

ah, got it, thanks!

12:31 pm

have that one jan ;-)

12:32 pm

re - to listen again

12:32 pm

... to receive sounds again

12:32 pm

NBT

12:32 pm

But wasn't it a straight forward clue?

12:32 pm

... and behind

12:32 pm

ty dos

12:33 pm

Ivesy that is ridiculous and someone should be fired for even considering that someone could get by on that measly amount of money.

12:33 pm

ok, I finally figured out which of my r's came from that r, but it's already been clued :-)

12:33 pm

without lickety this is becoming more of a chore .. guess i am spoiled.. good thing for all the babblers that put a list out ! ty

12:34 pm

i have the welsh rh4/5 form that R

12:34 pm

ooh, got a 9!

12:34 pm

i know molly. most of the people who work there are very rude.. like they are paying for it themselves.

12:35 pm

I'll bet none of them are veterans, either :-(

12:35 pm

he hates being on it, and hoping that is what gets him motivated to get off.. most imp. thing now though is he stays clean.

12:35 pm

who is paying for it?

12:35 pm

no prob. not.. they didnt even have him marked as a vet.. .. the state gemini. it is welfare

12:36 pm

the state is broke!!

12:36 pm

the government is broke!!

12:36 pm

taxes are paying for it

12:36 pm

we also are scrabling not to become the next greece

12:36 pm

yes!!!

12:37 pm

then mb. they should cut their own wages. and befor u say anything else gemini i suggest u think very carefully

12:37 pm

when China calls in our loans.... watch what happens then

12:37 pm

yes,they have 1 trillion in markers on the U.S.A

12:37 pm

te8?\

12:38 pm

cut some of the welfare where people are getting everything paid for.. the more kids the more money. .they come here and live free.

12:38 pm

Oliver Wendell Holmes said,"Taxes are the price we pay for civilization." I wish we still had a sense of civic repsonsibility instead of a "I don't feel any sense of obligation to pay taxes" mentality.

12:38 pm

happens here too

12:39 pm

gas here has hit $5.20 a imperial gallon!! we have 4 taxes on our fuel;(

12:39 pm

was just listening to a story on the radio about Colorado Springs - they could have fully funded the city by increasing taxes about $200 per year - instead they put a lot of things on pay-for-service - one guy who refused a $200 tax increase, which would have been his total increased contribution to funding all city services, was happy to pay $300 just to get his street lights turned back on.

12:39 pm

$1.31 A litre

12:39 pm

he has to work so many hrs a week to maintain his soc services i dont belive that everyone has to do that. .. most people here cant even speak english! 50% of our population.. even in high school!

12:40 pm

its almost up to $4 here cross. shoudl hit five by memorial day

12:40 pm

we will hit $1/45 by june the first:( (a litre that is)

12:41 pm

anyone have the so 621 # 2?

12:41 pm

multiply by 4.11 for imperial gallon of old

12:41 pm

Actually, these days everyone does have to twork. The old "welfare" sytem is dead and gone. I have a student who had a very premature baby and needed welfare assistance. They cut her off after 15 months and are saying that she needs to quit school and get a McJob instead. So short sighted.

12:42 pm

we are already on £1.45 a litre crossy - nnot sure what the £/$CA exchange rate is but betting we're paying nearly double

12:42 pm

it needs a total revamp.. i agree with having to work for it.. gives a sense of accomplishemnt. but i dont think it is happening here jan. some do not work

12:43 pm

but they are catching those that dont claim they are working for money and still collect welfare

12:43 pm

some people seem to be nostalgic for the 50s (whether 1950s or 1850s I won't say) - if we went back to the tax structure we had in the 1950s they wouldn't like it, though

12:44 pm

I saw an interesting article in the paper that for the first time in years, teenagers are deferring getting their licenses--only something like 65% of under 21 year olds have them now, whereas it used to be more like 90%. Price of gas is the explanation.

12:44 pm

so6 - an old french currency + ar3

12:44 pm

"those were the days my friend lalalalalaaaa

12:44 pm

so 6/21 those airplane runs they do during the war

12:45 pm

It was that tax structure that bought us the prosperity of that time, though. Not to mention things like the federal highway system.

12:45 pm

most first time buyers of hosues here in the UK are now in their late 30s, I bought my frst hosue at 21 - the deposits are so huge here now because houses are so expensive

12:45 pm

thank you .. new one for me

12:45 pm

exactly my point, jan! Tax rates here are at historical lows.

12:45 pm

and thanks for the so6, glant, new one for me too!

12:46 pm

37 left, bbl - happy babbling all

12:46 pm

Bill Gates Sr. has been an advocate for going back to a system in which the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. Not going to happen, though.

12:46 pm

bye, glant!

12:46 pm

Bye for now, Glant!

12:47 pm

have to go watch more of the godfather saga... will make u an offer u cant refuse.....

12:47 pm

indeed glant,petrol is always been higher in the u.k but you have the benefit of short distances.take us poor slobs 3 weeks to drive from one end to the other:9

12:48 pm

lol, ivesy! Enjoy it!

12:48 pm

godfather rocks!

12:48 pm

I have to take a break and face the mess downstairs. I had a party for my first year class and the downstairs kitchen and living room are festooned with paper plates, empty cups, chips and snack bits all over the floor., etc.

12:48 pm

sure does .. later taters..

12:49 pm

see you later, jan!

12:49 pm

Luckily my DH is away, so it's just me to deal with it.

12:51 pm

I told them it was a no-alcohol party, but several brought wine as "gifts" for me, so now I also am the proud woner of four bottles of godwaful cheap wine. I am thinking of poaching pears in some of it.

12:51 pm

hmmm, might be a waste of good pears...

12:52 pm

Good point...

12:53 pm

maybe you can use it as weed killer or something...

12:54 pm

Or fruit fly bait. If you put a little wine in a glass and top the glass with a plastic funnel, fruit flies fly in and then drown in the wine. Of course, we're months way from fruit fly season, and what I have would be more than a lifetime supply.

12:55 pm

not necessarily months away considering the weather we've had this winter...

12:55 pm

but there's an idea - relabel it and then you can regift it as fruit fly poison :-)

12:55 pm

It's poison alright...

12:57 pm

hmmm, apparently it can be good for your skin - you could take a bath in it!

12:59 pm

I know that inexpensive red wine makes a good cooking wine, at least in small amounts, because the grapiness and sweetness can balance the natural acidity in things like tomato sauce, and the alcohol brings out the flavor of compounds that are alcohol soluble instead of water or fat soluble. But I think there are limits--you can't use it for recipes like coq au vin calling for a lot of wine, and the wine can't have any really weird or off flavors.

1:00 pm

I suspect that, in the end, I'll end up having one of the "open, take a sip, make face, pour down sink, and open the enxt one and repeat" parties.

1:04 pm

Hi All - Katie are you there?

1:10 pm

sp 6/24 ??

1:10 pm

a globe, sammysmom

1:11 pm

thanks got both of them

1:12 pm

Hiya Mari yep I'm here, got your message about taping the programme tomorrow but you forgot to say what channel it was on

1:16 pm

good day everyone. clue for the re6?

1:16 pm

hends

1:23 pm

listen again

1:24 pm

ty, br. found it.

1:29 pm

Been getting any snow, lb?

1:30 pm

nothing to speak of down here in the valley. mountains look like they're covered. how about you?

1:30 pm

Not much ... a very odd winter

1:31 pm

that it is, BR. not looking forward to the warmer weather...i.e. summer. or shall we call it fire.

1:33 pm

The farmers are worried about having adequate moisture .... they always do ... more worried now

1:34 pm

yeah, the farmers and ranchers here are worried too. winter wheat is pretty much a write off.

2:16 pm

Just checking in and hoping for good news about Ruby's Max. Anyone heard anything?

2:16 pm

no - I heard he was poorly a few days ago but nothing since then - what's up?

2:19 pm

He went missing last night.

2:19 pm

Her dog, not her husband.

2:24 pm

ah, the dog! (somehow I thought her dog was named Ruby, but perhaps that was an earlier dog). Oh, dear, I do hope he shows up. (And now I don't remember her husband's name, although I'm sure I have it in email somewhere).

2:26 pm

Her husband's name is Bert.

2:37 pm

ah. Now I remember :-)

Ruby has 2 dogs, Ruby and Max. Ruby was one that was sick.

2:39 pm

<--- needs to make a wall chart of babbler's names, including the names of their partners, pets, and children. Also where they live.

LOL

2:42 pm

Maybe not Sue. Could be stalkerish. : P

2:48 pm

Oh dear, which of RubyFoo's dogs has gone missing?

2:48 pm

Well, I wouldn't exactly publish it or anything; it would be for my own reference, so I don't put my foot in my mouth too often (sort of like an external hard drive for my brain - its internal memory seems to be not doing so well lately)

2:49 pm

Anyone know what has happened to lickety?

2:49 pm

Max, soodle

2:50 pm

Thinking about our American babbler friends especiallythose in the hurricane areas.

2:51 pm

lickety is sometimes available, but not every day, lawdoggy - real life has gotten complicated for them

2:51 pm

sorry to hear that. I hope in the end it will work out for them.

2:52 pm

likewise! we are all pulling for them...

2:55 pm

Indeed... my thoughts and prayers are with the Babblers affected by terrible weather events.

2:56 pm

((Soodle)) you are a good one, giving thoughts to others while you are going through hard times of your own.

2:56 pm

Molly, thank you for your email, and that beautiful link. It means an awful lot.

2:58 pm

wht's happening with ruby?

2:58 pm

Something with her dog?

2:59 pm

Ruby's dog Max is missing.

3:00 pm

Hi All

3:00 pm

Hi, I'm back but don't think I will finish.

3:00 pm

Hi Hego :)

3:00 pm

oh dear (((

3:00 pm

That's terrible news. she must be very upset!

3:00 pm

She is frantic and I do not blame her.

3:01 pm

Poor Rubes.

3:01 pm

My Polo got loose a few months ago and we were frantic. Fortunately he made his way hom safely

3:01 pm

I hope the same happens here.

3:02 pm

Glad of that, bichon. Ruby's handyman is making signs and will post them in the village.

3:02 pm

I'm assuming he's not chipped

3:03 pm

I will go to FB and message her.

3:03 pm

bye

3:04 pm

hi annie, hego, bichon!

3:04 pm

hi sue :)

3:05 pm

how many words today please

3:06 pm

197

3:06 pm

Thanks

3:16 pm

pe 6/27 plz

3:16 pm

I have got one not sure if it the one you need - con diment

3:17 pm

thats the one ty!

3:23 pm

hola

3:25 pm

hola kje how are things?

3:27 pm

very wet

3:28 pm

Have to say kucky you - we hjave had the driest winter in dont kn ow when in the South east here, reservoirs are only 40% full and they are valre4ady forecasting drought conditions in the summer - and that is without all the Olympic visitors coming over here and bathing!!!

3:29 pm

I think they ought to bath before they leave home!!

3:29 pm

there is a drought here also, it is just that all the rain has decided to fall today, so currently very wet

3:30 pm

Have to admit they are forecasting heavy rain tomorrow but we will need it for about 4 weeks

3:30 pm

You can have some of ours if you like...flooding over here. We'll tell our athletes to BYO

3:31 pm

ha! lynxx

3:31 pm

What official restrictions are you on Deeha?

3:32 pm

er - do Austrelia have athletes?Oh yes they are the ones that come over and nick ou medals!!

3:33 pm

Nothing so far just the threat but 'they' always like to frighten us!!

3:34 pm

We have just come off most of our restrictions after about 3 years so know what it is like...our dams were down to 25/26%...now 2 years of summer flooding

3:35 pm

Actually every other country in the world comes over and pinches our medals!!

3:35 pm

oh well - at least you will get the tourists so very good for your economy

3:35 pm

Not getting the condiment. Have the word, don't get the clue. Maybe it's an international thing.

3:36 pm

Salt & Pe**** Molly

3:36 pm

Wowlynxx- mind you places like Australia save any water they get - we dont and then when we have a couple of dry weeks we start bleating about drought

3:36 pm

Oh, okay. I think of that as a seasoning, not a condiment. My bad.

3:37 pm

And so little money has been put back by water comnpanies millions of gallons a day are just leaking out of old pipes

3:38 pm

Yeah, infrastructure costs are huge too...expect an increase in your water costs. Our have risen dramatically as before the drought broke they decided to build a huge desalination plant

3:40 pm

(which will be a good backup - just seems obsolete requirement now that we are being blessed with (too) much rain)

3:40 pm

that seems like one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't situations, though

3:41 pm

Speaking of which - not drizzling at the moment so might get our walk in ...BBL

3:41 pm

enjoy, lynxx

3:48 pm

rh6?

3:49 pm

if you put an -ic on the end it has to do with debating, kje

3:49 pm

3:50 pm

ty!

3:50 pm

3:53 pm

4:20 pm

4:22 pm

hmmm, can I give you the French version without winding up in the PB? It is similar (but as with many French words, has extra letters at the end).

4:22 pm

maybe if you put something nice in the PB....

4:22 pm

How about a Granddad & branch

4:23 pm

or vodka & tonic?

4:23 pm

mmmmm...ok, in French it is telepherique - basically a cable car. S

4:24 pm

with acute accents on the first two e's (don't know how to do those on my keyboard)

4:24 pm

Also there was an extra S in that post, don't know why.

4:25 pm

a cable car! I can usually deduce words but I'd we way off on that one!

4:25 pm

Well for that - have 2!

4:25 pm

the kind that you ride up the mountain (there are a lot of them in Switzerland, which is where I encountered the word)

4:26 pm

I'll settle for cable car thank you

A bus trip to Hawaii? (confused)

well then maybe next time CJ

5:50 pm

LOL Gwen. Bus trip to Phila FLower Show

5:50 pm

hee, hee. I think the theme of the flower show is Hawaii, gwen.

5:50 pm

Fran, I did get to Hawaii twice but many years ago

5:50 pm

Oh!

5:50 pm

I saw your clue Fran and working on it,

5:51 pm

I remember, Judy, before you knew me of course. I hope you can get here again. :-)

5:51 pm

My son is returning to Hawaii in April, for the next phase of his army training to become a physician assistant.

5:51 pm

I know the actor you are referring to,not personally but from the 70's show

5:51 pm

peri, last part is also like go**** (garden pest)

5:51 pm

I would love to visit Hawaii. it is on my bucket list along with australia

5:51 pm

would love to go again, Fran. And absolutely get together with you.

5:51 pm

very cool, gwen!

5:52 pm

7:35 pm

lol welki

7:35 pm

7:36 pm

i have 3 boxes of samoas :).. id share if i could.. ill put some in the pB though

7:36 pm

our scouts and guides don't sell anything

7:36 pm

7:36 pm

I like the caramel coconut ones..

7:36 pm

thats samoas ru

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

yum, aloy. i think they have that at CostCo

7:37 pm

We can here, lill

7:38 pm

i've had acai/blueberry and acai/pomegranate - bet the acai/blackberry is better than both of them!

7:38 pm

yes, lilliann.. local supermarket

7:38 pm

high in anti-oxidants - which helps counter the vodka :)

7:38 pm

vodka is high in anti oxidants too..lol

7:38 pm

oh ok, ty fran. we don't have it here, well not in supermarkets. i'll have to look in our health food shops as it is very high in anti oxidants

7:38 pm

oh yes, welki, I'm feeling healthier by the swallow. lol

7:39 pm

lol aloy

7:39 pm

perhaps i should put some in my wine...well, when i can get it!

7:39 pm

that's why it's always important to buy vodka with a fruit in the name - black currant, pomegranate, raspberry - health drinks

7:39 pm

that might be a good idea.. a special sangria

7:40 pm

exactly ..you get your portions of fruit that way

7:40 pm

lol welki

7:41 pm

must have your fruit portions!

7:41 pm

yep, flavored vodka, a hot dog and maybe a vitamin - all the USDA daily requirements

7:41 pm

7:42 pm

ooh, cos.. have never had that

7:42 pm

that sounds good too, cos!

7:42 pm

really? i don't like the sound of that

7:42 pm

tastes like a creamsicle

7:42 pm

sounds like a cool whip screwdriver to me

7:43 pm

ugh, i missed ti5/10 even after the most awesome Big Bang Theory epi ever.

7:43 pm

is that bea from the golden girls cos? i use to love that sitcom

7:43 pm

7:43 pm

i don't like cream of any sort, and i hate it on a hot chocolate

7:44 pm

fw!!!

7:44 pm

ohhh it sounds like a creamsicle!! i saw the whipped cream and cotton candy vodkas and wondered what the heck they were (and then there's the alcohol/whipped cream you can buy, too)

7:44 pm

yayay frannie

7:44 pm

hot chocolate made with milk and tia maria is nice

7:44 pm

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

hi jmitch....yum

7:45 pm

lol fran. i have every line in that show memorized. its sad.

7:45 pm

cos? have you ever had the flavored whipped creams? they're like $17 a can here - which, by principle alone, will keep me from buying a can

7:45 pm

is it bad that cocktails bring me out of lurking?

7:45 pm

i'm having a manhattan, mitch *clink*

7:45 pm

absolut-ly not jmitch!

7:46 pm

egads, out of my price range

7:46 pm

7:46 pm

CJ ! good to see you

7:46 pm

oh i don't know how much the liquor is, i was talking about a container of flavored whipped cream, the kind you squirt from the can

7:47 pm

saw a Crested Caracara on my drive today.. eat your heart out (-:

7:47 pm

there are directions on line to make Skittles flavored vodkas, i don't know why that sounds awful to me.

7:47 pm

lill, you can flavor vodka yourself pretty easily.

7:48 pm

sounds a bit toooo sweet for me, Fran

7:48 pm

pretty big bird, aloy

Sneak sneak sneak POUNCE on the frannie

7:48 pm

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

ep5, jmitch, e + fffff sound + either, ** (choice word)

Waves hi lots.

7:50 pm

well, cos.. and Jmitch.. you can extend that ep5 with the first person singular

7:50 pm

also ep 6, add another vowel

7:50 pm

or ep5, ep + first half of mr. ed

I think i can officially say i am too old for all day concerts

7:50 pm

So jealous Aloy!

7:50 pm

Hi Herein!

7:50 pm

7:52 pm

well, CJ.. after the meeting, we went on a tour and saw the glossy ibis and bald eagles and a whole bunch more..

Ears are not ringing but I am still sooooooo tired. Was not stupid enough to get close to the stage for most bands as MetalHead mosh pits scare the bejeezes uout of me

7:53 pm

had to google to see crested caracara...that's very cool, aloy!

7:53 pm

that was probably wise, infernal!

7:53 pm

Large fridge shape boys jumping about no thank you. I like my face not rearranged

7:55 pm

i love watching all the birds in our garden. for some reason we have a magpie that keeps coming back...never seen it before, it might be because i've meal worms out

7:55 pm

words that start in vowels are my weakness in almost all babble grids

7:55 pm

herin.. before my daughter was of driving age, I drove her and a friend to a concert.. HUGE amps there.. couldn't hear for a long time after (-;

Well that i s all I have

can relate to that

Not as expensive as Kopi luwak but anything over $15 for a kilo of grinds is expensive

8:18 pm

i heard there was a shortage of Kona coffee. that would explain the higher price.

8:18 pm

10:42 pm

yw!

10:42 pm

i miss lickety and am very grateful for it

10:42 pm

hi lilli!

10:43 pm

i love the theatre sue

10:43 pm

we saw a new play called Los Angeles is Underwater - it was VERY funny!

10:43 pm

when we lived in south london when i was younger my mam and dad took us to the theatre alot

10:44 pm

...unless you live in Los Angeles, I'm sure. ;-)

10:44 pm

we can get very cheap tickets to the university productions - they are really excellent

10:44 pm

as it was only 20 minutes on the train into the centre of london. i love musicals

10:45 pm

we have some great local productions here, i need to start taking my kids soon.

10:45 pm

will you still be able to see the university productions when you retire sue?

10:45 pm

to 5/12?

10:46 pm

plural of the to4/5, maggie, Gilligan was on a three hr. to**

10:46 pm

absolutely, lilli! The tickets may be even cheaper (or not, I haven't checked)

10:46 pm

another plural ... have a blindspot on those this evening

10:47 pm

it's those two r's that have been throwing me off, maggie

10:47 pm

it's because of the two Rs, the word can go either direction!

10:47 pm

ahh, i'm glad sue

10:48 pm

rule of thumb is to always try the plural whether there's an S in the grid or not! ;-)

10:48 pm

i keep forgetting the s's maggie

10:48 pm

ur 5/12?

10:48 pm

I have learned that this evening!

10:49 pm

maggie, ur + first three vowels in order

10:49 pm

strange word

10:49 pm

ok, just checked, no price break for old people :-)

10:49 pm

they probably save the price break for students, sue.

10:49 pm

i'm deaf as in have 2 hearing aids and i can hear my hubby snoring from upstairs!!!

10:50 pm

but series tickets for eleven plays plus two dance productions are $85. Can't beat that.

10:50 pm

thanks ... is that what you call a babblet?

10:50 pm

he likely needs a cpap then, lilliann

10:50 pm

that's some incredible lung power, lill! lol

10:50 pm

no wonder i can't sleep when i lie next to him...the bed even vibrates!!! lol

10:50 pm

that's exactly what a babblet is, maggie! a word that only makes sense in babble. lol

10:50 pm

he should schedule a sleep study.

10:51 pm

hi dc!

10:51 pm

hi dc...what's a cpap?

10:51 pm

that would definitely be a babblet, maggie - not a word that you would encounter outside of the grid :-)

10:51 pm

he'sjust been tested for sleep apnea, and he's ok

10:51 pm

a cpap is a machine that provides constant pressure to keep the air passages open. Snoring is a sign of sleep apnea, which is a silent killer.

10:52 pm

it makes a soft humming that's soothing when running, and comes in both regular models and ones that provide humid air.

10:52 pm

Continuous_positive_airway_pressure

10:53 pm

well,as he's been signed off from the hospital he won't get any machine

10:53 pm

http://tinyurl.com/ytlm8p is the wikipedia article about them.

10:53 pm

i'll just knock him out with a rolling pin!! :)

10:53 pm

was he flat or inclined when sleeping in hospital? Inclining the upper body 30 - 45 degrees can reduce snoring and sleep apnea

10:54 pm

thanks dc, will look into it, as it does worry me

10:54 pm

or if you poke him and get him to roll over on his side - that often works

10:54 pm

yes, that's true also, good advice uusue

10:55 pm

i heard she just kicks him completely off the bed, sue! ;-)

10:56 pm

LOL fran

10:56 pm

that would work too, fran :-)

10:56 pm

he wasn't in hospital. he went in to the day centre and they glued the thing on his finger and put all the tubes on and the machine and sent him home for the night and then he had to go back the next morning with the machine so they could look at the results

10:56 pm

CJ, are you still here? need clues?

10:57 pm

Ah, yeah, sleep study really is called for then, though i've no clue how easy it is to get one through the NHS

10:57 pm

kick him off the bed...i would love to but i'm 5ft2 and slimish and he is 6ft and built like a brick sh** house!!

10:58 pm

he sleeps with 3 pillows dc, so he is always inclined

10:58 pm

lol, lill!

10:59 pm

Still checking in. On FB too. FInished with list. Thx Fran.

11:00 pm

hiya, judy

11:00 pm

Don't you love how babble always shows the last word you entered? and when your last word was an easy one, it's like it's mocking you!

11:00 pm

Evening DC!

11:00 pm

oh good, Judy!

11:00 pm

my last word tonight was a very easy one; in lots of grids

11:00 pm

sue, it doesn't matter whether he sleeps on either side or back!! perhaps i should push him on his stomach, but i would need help!!lol

11:01 pm

i started 20 min ago, don't expect i'll finish

11:01 pm

wtg judy!!

11:01 pm

what I've found with Frank is that if I poke him it wakes him up a little and then he stops snoring for a bit - he's not a really bad snorer, though

11:01 pm

Thx Lil. Did you finish, Lil?

11:02 pm

i poke him and then he stops and then 10 seconds later he starts again!!

11:02 pm

yeah, I have 80 left and am just fooling around with the grid now - did get nbs and nbt (and found one of the 9's all by myself - I was so proud!)

11:02 pm

yes, sounds like he needs more help then, lilli

11:02 pm

this is the NHS info on sleep apnoea: http://tinyurl.com/7rxmajd

11:02 pm

no judy. 20 left...beginning to give up, which is not like me, but brain not working!!#

11:02 pm

nice, sue! (about finding the 9)

11:03 pm

te 6/24?

11:03 pm

come on, Lil. You can do it!

11:03 pm

one of the 80 I don't have, maggie :-)

11:03 pm

maggie, te + **one call + ** the egyptian sun god

11:04 pm

and now I do, thanks fran!

11:04 pm

he's been to the hospital last week judy and was tested for sleep apnea and is ok...well they said borderline and then discharged. but he doesn't fall asleep in the day time, it's just the snoring

11:04 pm

yw, sue!

11:05 pm

how frustrating. but very good news about the sleep apnea.

11:05 pm

jellen posted a very lovely picture of her and a floral arrangement on Facebook, for those of you connected to her.

11:06 pm

I saw that, DC - great picture!!

11:06 pm

it'll be ok the end of this month dc as he'll be driving anericans, aussies and kiwis around scotland for most of the summer so i won't hear it!! yey sleep at last!!lol but i do worry about him

11:07 pm

what's the one call Fran?

11:07 pm

i need 10 s's!

11:07 pm

tele**one call, maggie

11:07 pm

well, since they apparently conclusively ruled out sleep apnea medically, that is a bit less to worry about.

11:07 pm

hmm

11:08 pm

not getting it but thanks anyway

11:08 pm

do you have the te8/9 combo, maggie?

11:08 pm

no

11:08 pm

i got the 8 and 9 from the 6 clue, ty

11:08 pm

it is, and isn't dc, because when he goes quiet i worry!!

11:08 pm

great, dc

11:09 pm

anyway, need to dive in

11:09 pm

ah, yes i see, that makes sense, lilliann. Best to you-all

11:10 pm

11:10 pm

maggie, the "***" are for the letters in the word

11:10 pm

11:11 pm

te8 is te + tele**one call + a **** is a religious ceremony

11:11 pm
