waves to haz
My invisibility shield is defective.
lol.. harry potter is using it
Shifty looking character.
no kidding.. how are you ?
I'm okay. Yourself?
I hope the queen had time to stop by your house for tea on the Jubilee
I wish.
well.. my back is hurting.. so I'm grumpy
A sore back is no joke, I sympathise.
I can't even think of one back joke
Not even a pun?
no.. I'm stumped
Making note that when the puns get too much, introduce the subject of sore backs. For emergency use only.
it's like I herniated through winter
lol
Are you walking all of a piece?
that'll shut me up.
hello in here. oh ruru, poor you. i presume you have iced for 5mins, heat for 5mins, then nothing for 5mins?
breaks up the spasms.
I did ice my back.. I've discovered that getting old isn't not for sissies
lol, too true, ruru.
that's supposed to be is not
*horrified my my english faux pax in front of haz*
ruru, surprised you can type at all, let alone think coherently. back pain has to be the worst.
But your French is great.
now, as i said, ice, heat, nothing. have you done that?
C'est Vrai
oooohhhhh, haz, my dear, how are you?
I iced.. and then made a cocktail with the leftover ice
No, it's not, just realised you're mixing Latin in as well. Faux pas not pax. I'm as picky as ever.
LOL>. I should have known better
Start in with Polish, you'll be safe there.
aaaahhhhh, give me strength. just follow granny's advice. plus ibuprofen if you have them
btw, did you rub the cocktail on your back? if it's made with creme de menthe, might work
gin martini.. straight up.. no rubbing.. just glubbing
sounds good to me, plus?????? what analgesia?
I've forgotten how I like the taste of gin
I took some advil grannie.. thinking about relafen in the morning
advil good......keep it going. relafen? what's in relafen?
I think I'll limp off to bed.. and call it a day.. thanks for the advice granny .. and thanks for saying hi haz. We miss you greatly.
night, ruru. heat pack, mate, and pillow under knees
Relafen is a strong anti-inflammatory drug that doesn't upset my stomach as much as iboprofen
Thanks ruru. Just feel safer being invisible most of the time. I hope your back heals, I know how painful it can be.
then go for it, ruru.
I understand Haz.. very rude the people who attacked you.
It's more than that, ruru, but it'll get better, I hope.
You concentrate on getting better so that normal punning service can be resumed.
Morning all - how are we all today - ruru - 1 ibuprofen and 1 paracetamol every 3 hours - works a dream on me
I hope so too.. it was so much more fun all the bantering and joking in the morning
haz???? email me. what's going on? there have quite a few of us atytacked in chog lately.
morning kaz
whats this about folks being got at on the chog - this is not very babble like
yeah kaz, i almost at the point of emailing Dr God. it has to stop. peeps are using the chog for personal vendettas.....and it's just not right
I suppose I miss most of it as I am usually only on for an hour or so in the mornings -depending when I can get up and maybe a couple in the evening. I am only usually on longer at the weekends
It's not why I'm opting out of chat, I've just not dealt well with losing FM and Spangle and my aunt in the space of ten days.
It's easier to be quiet.
this is supposed to be a fun site, and if we need to b***h about what is happening in our lives, then well and good. but to attack fellow babblers is just not right.
oh.. Haz.. that helps me understand
what happened to FM? - that how out of touch I have been
FM died in November past.
awww, haz, my heart goes out to you. may you find peace.
and the offer stands. email me, i will respond.
Know what you mean Haz - 2011 was a pretty crap year - MY niece died in may and then my dad died in November - even worst on Armistice day so its always going to be really sad
It will get better with time but for now the whole upset on the chog mixed with the bereavements just makes me not inclined to join in.
57 left off to get some brekkie
yes.. That makes sense
understood, haz, take your time, dear.
And I appreciate you saying hello. I checked for hidden cameras.
who me??? never!
well .. I really miss you haz.. you take all the time you need.. we'll all be here years from now.. maybe it will be better
I can turn off the cameras.. but the Bugging stays
I'll watch what I say!
you'd better..lol
Okay, heading to get some breakfast. I hope you sleep well. Bye for now!
don't follow my lead.. my big mouth always gets me in trouble..lol
evening all
hey girlie. whereabouts in ozland are you?
and bye haz. hope you have a good day/eve
hiya can i plz have some help with the as5 14 ty x
past tense of fire residue
and helloooo sarah
hi granny :)
how are you beautiful girls?
all good :) only got 3 up at min lol x
and this is good or bad?
i mean, are they supposed to be all awake, yet?
older 3 still in bed got emma georgina and imogen up been fed so all good lol
yay, sarah, wtg, super mum strikes again
oops sorry, got distracted by an ehell post
I am in Sydney, grannyrose
aaahhh, andree, mrp and lickety region
there are a lot of us about! Whereabouts do you call home grannyrose?
upper ferntree gully, melbourne, girlie
oh, lovely!
have lived in, or near the dandenong ranges for over 33 years
It is so beautiful there. I am a refugee from Brisbane myself.
lol, girlie. was that by choice, or did you have to move?
our next home will be in Gippsland
Sort of by choice, I moved for work. Miss it sometimes, friendly town, beautiful winters. Horrid summers.
yeah, i know. parents took us up to noosa every summer for years. and when the expo was there, so were we. as a family. present hubby does not like the thought of queensland, but am slowly bringing him around. there is so much to see up there
It is gorgeous grannyrose, sunshine coast is especially lovely. And a lot more affordable than Sydney :/
Brisbane also has a lot more to offer than it did 20 years ago, but I can understand that giving up proximity to Melbourne would be hard!
in so want to see the daintree forest, charters towers ( for personal reasons)
oooo, the reef as well?
ok, I should be paying some attention to dinner, nice chatting granny, hope you have a lovely evening!
rockhampton, cairns.....oh, yes, and the reef. and the islands. i love queensland, but new hubby has some set in concrete ideas. but have had him on the big plane flight, and on a cruise ship ( twice ), next is the long train trip. then i will tackle queensland.
okay, girlie. my dinner is in the slow-cooker. nearly ready
and on that note i bid all lurkers farewell. happy babbling! see you at the flip.
bye grannyrose x
hell! as always, I'm too late
that was supposed to be hello!!!!
hiya ruby x hope you are well
hello sarah, at least it isn't raining.....
how are you?
no sun out today and i am gd ty x
I am back again - does anyone have a clue for the be 5/18 after the one for coming covered in wet stuff in the fields in the morning
be 5/18 - a tree
doh - thanks Chessy
It is a tree Kazzer
good morning kaz and chessy
and hello norma
looking at garden, wondering which tree
Hello ruby how are you and yours ??
Morning all
coping with crazy weather, but at least it isn't raining (yet!) today. It is as cold as March
eths
oops, sorry
ty, chessy
it is here also, my central heating keeps kicking in never been know in June lol
thanks for the clues. Oops Chessy never mind. Hi Ruby - i heard that temps in north of england and scotland got down to near freezing overnight - the weather is ridiculous
we had fires all of April and May -- never before
It is pouring down here again - we had a lovely day yesterday but still a bit breezy
no rain or snow in dec and jan, warm in Feb, very cold in Mar and then rain all of Apr and May. It is creepy, how the weather is changing
<-- doesn't have central heating
we have had pretty rubbish summers for the last few years
all the flowers came at once -- iris, roses, peonies, etc
and then the roses got ruined by all the rain
thats the other crazy thing - a lot of my summer flowers have died but I still have some daffodils in some tubs that are doing well
we lost several shrubs due to the cold in Mar and the fruit is very iffy
still looking for the tree.....
morning all
mes copper ruby
morning Glant
ruby it rhymes with sandy place at the seaside
that should have read - the tree is sometimes copper ruby
slap me with a flounder and ty, you two
I am flipping cold
heating keeps coming on - ridiculous
we are thinking about putting the central heating back on
stay warm, ladies, time to fix the master his apero!
I thought I'd turned mine off about a month ago but it has come on every day this week
i really need to read the book to see how it all works but have to admit it has been nicer to have a slightly warmer house in the mornings
gas fire doesn't work in my new house and I can't afford to have a a gas fitter look at present because if one gas thing doesn;t work they turn all gas off....
after killing the chog I am leaving - be back later for final 10
i am back again - I have been off doing household stuff

Hi Ruby didnt know this word but if you are unhurt you are unsc7
ty deeha and hello!
are you freezing like all the rest of us?
(not peri, tho)
Its not quite so bad today, we were having 80 mile an hour gusts but the wind seems to have dropped now and I did think I might get out in the garden this afternoon
I think Europe is colder and US is warmer than usual
I can see the weeds growing, but it's too cold to do any gardening
I certainly toyed with the idea of having a hot water bottle a couple of nights ago!!
nights are no problem for me, but the days are horrible
87 words but no nbt
definitely, ruby -- we've had recordbreaking heat all spring :-(
and there remain climate-change-deniers!!!!
drives me crazy (crazier)
i know -- insane
Ive got 38 left so might have a break and get a bit of lunch - salad from the garden which always makes you feel green and righteous!!
not you -- the deniers! LOL
slugs there, deeha?
(me, too)
we have tiny slugs in the streawberries, disgusting
About the deniers - it always makes me laugh when they say 'climate change - this is the wettest/hottest/coldest since 1894
indeed, deeha
I always have slugs but suddenly the cats are bringing in two or three mice a day - lucky I can cope with mice
and in the conservative states in the US they are still denying evolution!!!!
do mice eat slugs?
If they did I would breed them and sell them!!
creationism . . . ugh
we have cute mice (outside) with long fur. They eat the sunflower seeds that husband puts out for the birds
better stop or we'll get chastised for being political in the chog :-)
one of "our" mice is so big and red that I call him Rusty
ch5 please?
<-- making a partial v for victory sign LOL
wow, ruby! LOL

fireworks
whoooo hoooooo ANNie!!
gm, everyone!
hi dawg, you working today?
yup, work every weekend.
I used to work weekends also. I like having days off during the week, less crowded when I shopped
*liked
Good morning!
I should edit myself before I send it
Hi there dawg and annie
Hi Jilly :)
hi Jilly, cold and wet in your neighborhood?
It is a sunny beautiful day here
cold and cloudy here..not much moisture yet....
days off during the week is nice, having some time with hubz is nice too, but tiring since i have to cram so much into such little time.
where are you, jilly?
cold and wet here...again...yet...still.
dawg, when you worked at Borders didnt you work weekends also?
clue for the first fa5?
southwestern corner of Montana
dawg, true or fa5
yes, but not every weekend. and the hours i worked were early morning shift so usually off by no later than 2
>*))<<, thank you, annie
dawg, nice hours
There was a great Borders in Norwalk near my daughter's house and I was always roaming around in the store when I was there. Sad when it closed.
yeah, i wish i had those hours now. HD spreads the hours around, so you work all shifts.
anyone want a clue before I start my day?
i wish we had a good bookstore here. closest bookstore is near Jilly...120 miles south of here.
Too early in grid but thanks annie!
hagd, annie, i'll muddle thru my last four.
The closest bookstore here is about 10 subway stops away or in Staten Island. Don't people read or has Amazon taken over the market?
wow dawg!
that is far, dawg
well then, enjoy the grid, bye
E-books have robbed us of our book stores. Very sad.
e-readers are really convenient as is audio books. sad.
as are...
Well, married to a bibliophile, e-books saved my house from drowning in books...at the point every shelf filled and there were 10 boxes in storeroom, I got him to buy a Nook.....
They serve their purpose Jilli. I just wish they hadn't crushed the "real book" business.
bibiophile here too, times two! had to go back to work to afford my habit, and i'm looking into an e-reader, possibly a kobo, since that's what middle sis has and we read a lot of the same books.
I guess it's another change, some good, some bad
cost of paper is also what has hurt the "real" book business. resources not being replanted in a timely manner etc.
argh, must get moving. hope to be back later after work. hagd everyone!
oh...tadone! finito! didn't notice my last word! doh
WooT WooT WooT dawg! hagd
stats for the 4th column d?
do 5/22
There is something special, and irreplaceable about real books to me. Which is why my money will continue to go in their direction, and not the digital version.
got it ty dose
nbt
Well done Jilly
Morning friends
morning mr bob
morning all!
Hi uusue...I'll try not to nap on you today...lol
no problem - I am headed out soon anyway
me too, busy morning and early afternoon...
but meanwhile my computer has gone all retro on me (looks like Windows 3.1 although it is actually Vista), I am bummed
interesting....
did you try going into your settings?
yes, I mucked about with them quite a bit, no luck. Oh well - not a disaster, my windows just aren't as pretty as they used to be
probably I should reboot (maybe I will do that while I shower)
meanwhile I have nbt and over half way, missing the 8 for nbs
pe8/50....
Don't put me on a pe******, I'm human
ah, thanks! got it!
ok, time to hit the showers. Will reboot, bbl!
Me too...bbl babbleworld!
hi, help with sc7 pls
I have past tense of sc6
very hot here, going to be 90! other people in the house going to a pool. I am not. hate pools. like the beach and the ocean!
was going to go to the beach but did not have the energy for such a long day :(
beach is such a hassle
I do not have an sc6
but the ocean calms me
add b**** - to wash ones self
and I really need calming
... add male pronoun to s4
ty harry and dose
... usually heard with "ing" on the end
the first half of this grid came real quick - and nbt
slowing down now
stuck with 84 left
hello
hiya ruby
gm
kj
... make sure you don't miss the past tenses and plurals ... there are lots of them
ok, will look again
... lots of uses for the remains of cigarettes
... and the double e goes in both directions
I feel the same way about pools and lakes; somehow the ocean feels clean
ok
hopefully I will get someone to drive with me to the beach. it is much more fun with someone else
... but you've got all those mountains to walk in ... what do you need a ocean for? ...
the lake here stays under 60F all year
mountains is not the same at the beach
I know people (Swedish, of course) who come here a few times a year and swim across, about a mile
hi all, I am back, and my Windows has rejoined the 21st century! Yay!
that's what I miss about Miami (and the food)
but this is prettier
how was the Japan festival, sue?
60 to go! bbl hopefully
it was great, ruby! I've put a few pictures up on Facebook, and will post a bunch more later.
are you rolling your own sushi now?
lol - not yet, ruby, but we did buy a lot of sake :-)
can't fiond sake here
only one Japanese resto and it's awful
(not at the festival but at the Japanese shopping mall nearby)
Frank can't drink wine but sake is ok for him
that's lucky
there's a good sushi place here in town, too, which is nice (sushi being one of the things Frank can eat, as long as he skips the soy sauce)
anyway I got some photos of my colleague during the opening ceremony, as well as photos and video of the kendo demonstration and the taiko drummers
what is in the soy sauce that he can't tolerate?
wheat. Normal soy sauce has wheat in it. There is a wheat-free variety but it is more expensive and restaurants never have it.
that's interesting, out of curiosity, I'll read the labels on my soy sauce
I'll be amazed if it doesn't have wheat in it
*blink*
hi, leigh!
Hello hello!
hello leigh (I was going to say perfect leigh, but my eyes were blurred)
Hi ruby
38 left
go ruby!!
my eyes are giving out
see you later, folks
dreaming of Hatsuhana sushi and sake!!!
bye
casted a fishing rod...is that proper english? casted should be in there I think~
I agree Lisa. I was casted in the school play.
hi, babblers
But really, proper english is cast.
hello welki
the more I think about it, the more cast sounds more proper lol
... don't miss the level of Indian society ... seeing as the past tense isn't there
got that, and tried the past tense as well. Oh well :-)
haha, lisa and leigh. just had the same conversation with my family with the same examples.
Ladies, there are drinks and hot appetizers in the PB. Enjoy!
Yum! (tries to figure out why she is in the PB)
hi,leigh, lisa, dos, sue, carla, molly - tossin' hellos to the universe :)
Not you, Sue. Those who were discussing ca4.
... and the universe tosses back ... hello
*Tosses a hello back at Welki*
ah. I referred to it only obliquely so am ok, I suppose.
and hi, welki!
another chilly, windy and rainy day - no fishing today
And oblique is such a pretty word.
:-)
very hot here, welki, and we are marching in a local parade as Frank is running for county board
*Does a little sunny day dance for Welki*
*Imagines Frank and Sue, goose stepping down Main Street*
*ships some sun and heat to welki*
thanks for the sun dance, but i'm thinking it'll be like this for most of the day - it's been like this for most of the weekend, including tornado watches yesterday. did manage to fish for a couple of hours before the winds started, though :)
"marching" is probably too formal for what we will actually be doing :-)
i can see sue with a big bonnet, with all the flowers on it *singing* - the board parade!
waling, moseying, slouching (not towards bethlehem)
tee hee (trouble is, I hate hats, I may take an umbrella to keep the sun off - think of it as a parasol)
and walking, too :)
(In best Streisand voice) ♪ Before the parade...passes by ♫
ambling - hopefully not stumbling -
... for those who don't list and aren't meteorologists .... hy6/27 ... hy + past tense of to consume food + the candidate who did not take Florida in the 2000 election ... ... ... gotta go ... barkeep! sunshine for those with rain and hats for those with sunshine ... ... 'til tomorrow
thanks dos!
*Has word but is not a meteorologist*
apparently I am not a meteorologist either - had to look it up! Will have to work it into a conversation about the present drought.
apperantly i do not follow u.s candidates...
Gore, Cross
*Imagines the blank looks Sue will get when she works hy6 into conversation* : D
ha, I get blank looks a lot during conversations :-)
anyway, we are off! see you all later!
Have fun Sue
hy6 sounds too much like the hernia word for it to work as a weather word.
hyategore?? i need a tea...
Democrat Gore, global warming Gore...first name.
must look up the man..sounds like ours...a pita
as long as the guy sitting down there in the big char promises not to nuke us,i am happy
or turn canada into a 6 flags theme park

sounds like me and Judi might be holding the bags while you're on that one...
Amen, Andrew. The most daring thing on my bucket list (so far) is to see a Jimmy Buffet concert.
Color me whimpy.
lol crossy loves parrotheads
:-). Well, I'm not really a parrothead, but I want to go to the concert to see the other parrotheads. And drink the margaritas of course.
and no andrew,the big leagues are the guys who tag the sharks,cliff dive and that fella who is going to take a single man sub down to the deepest point in the ocean
of course...got my salt and lime...
I always thought going into space must be absolutely terrifying. I saw the movie Apollo 18, and it was ~rubbish~, but I got jittery because they were on the moon. Would you do that?
i still want to go down in a submarine,but that may be a tough one to arrange
if they offered me a seat,i would be on it in a heart beat
you can get a seat on the russian stuff but it costs big money
wahhh! well you be sure to send me a postcard.
Andrew, there is a "ride" at Epcot in Disney World (Florida) called "Mission to Mars". It simulates a rocket takeoff and landing to/from Mars. Apparently it is a giant centrifuge. Hubby refused to go on the ride, so I went alone. I came out a teary, quivering, blubbering mess. It was far too intense for me.
and you can get a ride on an air force jet but the cost is ten grand
lol judi
but to say you were on a jet and broke mach one..priceless now that the concordes are gone
James Cameron? He already completed the sub dive.
did he??
dammit,i wanted to catch that
in that vertical sub of his?
lol Judi! if I want a thrill, I just stand up too quickly...
Check out the National Geographic web site. They sponsored it.
will do molly
I think I would really dig a military jet ride. As long as they stay in a straight line and I have the horizon and ground to see I think I would be fine. Speed is a rush. Speed and crazy motion just makes for suffering. No barrel rolls, no loop-de-loops, thank you.
I thought they just did an unmanned test dive of the sub so far.
Oh Judi, they would "tell you" they wouldn't do those things...but once you're up there...I know Navy jet pilots. : D
Probably true, Molly. Then I'd feel sorry for the poor ground mechanic who would have to clean up my bodily fluids once we landed.
hi all
they will make you puke
I am drinking root beer vodka with my sandwich. don't like it (the vodka) but it is all I have
Puke wouldn't be all they'd get.
those jet jockeys,with a newbies in the back seat? lol.they will shake and bake you
haha!
*Makes the sign of the cross* Root beer and vodka were never meant to be mixed.
root beer and vodka?? omg!
the sandwich is very good, untuna witharugula on a whole wheat bagel. one of these days I will buy grey goose or ketels one plain vodka
it is pretty awful
i will jump out of a perfectly good plane with a bag of silk on my back but i will NEVER mix root beer and vodka
Yuck, Peri. I'd opt for water over root beer vodka.
it tasted good at my friends house, that is why I bought it, not a good idea :(
very hot here, at least 90
and peri wins the crazy bucket list insane deed of the day!!!
:-)
that stopped my tales cold..ewwww
I just got back from the farmers market. Bought orange and purple carrots, blueberries, raspberries, sour cherries and little red taters. YUMMMM!
it's pretty good with ginger beer and lime though.
which sows you andrew,there is always someone out there more daring than you or i;)))
purple carrots? wow
shows
it is? no ginger beer here tho
love those little red taters,so good for fry ups
I wanted asparagus, but they were asking $4.50 a bunch for it. Crazy. Walked away from that stuff.
Peri - the purple carrots turn back to orange when you boil them. However, if you roast them, they stay purple. It's a scientific mystery.
that is neat, Judi
haha, I'll drink to that, Crossy!
Carrots came with the geens on them. So, for easier storage, I chopped off the greens and tossed them out in the yard for the bunnies.
Off to do my chores. See you kids later. *ZOOP*
Yeah, we have ginger beer. Look in the international section of the grocery store.
just got back from Wegmans
did not know I would need any ginger beer
I keep some around in case someone gets an upset stomach. It's very good for that. That or ginger tea.
I have ginger tea and ginger ale. wonder if ginger ale would work
oh wait, no more ginger ale
a good ginger beer is hard to find
Ginger ale is good. Better if you shave a little fresh ginger in it.
would that work as well as the ginger beer then?
you had ginger ale and you mixed your vodka with root beer??????
no more ginger ale
ah
No Cross, it's worse than that. It was root beer flavored Vodka. YAK.
the root beer is already in the vodka, I did not put it there!!
worse indeed
shiudder...
oh,you talking about those new pre-mix vodkas?
I have had it over a year
i see them in vanillia,blueberry,watermellon etc
never touch them
I have not tried any other flavored vodka. and will not
oh, 'Sidekick'? that stuff is disgusting. the cookies and cream flavour especially. I'd rather drink perfume.
good girl,all that weird shait bruises the alcohol;)
want perfume? drink gin
wait a minute, I like gin too
lol
cookies and cream flavor, eww
with my drinks they should all be able to start a car,disinfect woulds,sterilize surfacesand make a nice blue flame when lit:)
wounds
63 left and stuck, bbl
as well as remove paint
a drink that will if after pouring and you go to wipe the rim with a bar cloth it will sterilize the cloth
haha! and if you stick a spoon in it, it stays upright? :P
no,it eats the spoon
lol! ah, you're killing me. just like your drinks would.
Gin is fine, Peri. Nothing like a frosty cold gin and tonic with a big wedge of lime on a hot summer day.
mind you...in communist berlin my family learned to make pretty decent moonshine...that'd make your hair curl
i envision s hooter,a not noble shooter made from 3...appleton estates dark spiced rum,smirnoff blue label and absinth filtered through a flaming sugar cube
Serious drinkers go straight for the hard stuff. No messing around with "regular" alcohol.
now that is a shooter!
hello, what does the 8 start with?
absinthe*
too right, Molly. mind you, gin is a weepy drink.
pe though i have yet to find it
ah thanks crossy got it
wow Hurshy! you don't mess around.
and 7's are CL and... ?
pe don't put me on a pe8, just because I have the word\
oh, nice clue, thank you :)
ty bubba
oh, the other 7 is SC, Hurshy
yw
A weepy drink, that's good. God save me from weepy drunks.
thank you!
ty for the 7,s
you're welcome, Hurshy :) I didn't realise I had it!
:)
be 5/18????
a tree
ty
oddest
ooh, I'd missed that one, mom! ty!
go majmom go! *puts strawberries in PB* hello all, just passed halfway, here
life is a be5 sometimes
thanks ruru, missed that one earlier!
pe *?
are you asking for a PE 8, science?
yes
lol
what statues are on science pe 8
hm. don't have that yet...
sorry
ah! ruru rocks! :-)
I found it.....put one on a pe8
down to 49, time to get out in the garden if I can. back later. *poof*
missing an st 5
got it
done
back to look for words in the chog and ty mom, didn't have that one
37 left
I didn't know that gin makes you weepy....
but the s's are making me weepy
*Hands Ruby a tissue*
hi ruby, science, Molly
what is the other 7. Have the sc
cl7/40
ty
gin doesn't make me weepy
Melodrama doesn't make me weep...anymore...
lol.. really too much around here ..
Aye, sometimes we are hip deep in it. That and some other things.
I do get emotional around fine scotch however :D
You are absolved for that, Ru.
I want to try that Hendricks Gin sometime.. It's just that I drink hard alcohol so infrequently
... and I promise not to cry
We will hand you tissues should you break down.
gm
kleenex is for weenies
gm kje
or people who don't want snot every where
that too
I forgot about allergies
aaaaaaa-choooooooo
I hear they're raising the speed limit in Texas to 85
i wish
they're talking about it apparently
our speed limit use to be 75... then the feds threatened to suspend highway funds, and they lowered it back down... we'll see
Don't they know Texans have to get places quickly?
in some areas it may make sense..... long expanses of nothingness in remote areas of TX where all you want to do is get to the other side
the wall looms at 41 to go
I bet Bush's daughters drive faster than 85
I got to 13 when I hit the real wall
they don't live here
no?
well, ru... of course you are smarter than me.... so share
where do they live?
no, i meant clues
the blond one was living in NYC
the other married some guy from the NE, not sure where she is living
.. maybe New England..?
connecticut
I like that state. very pretty
I have big plans for today...
maine is my fave up there, or vermont - very pretty
what are your plans?
Maine is beautiful
Vermont is nowhere near as pretty
All three of the nortern tier of NE states are great
up in the mountains?
I am going to read by the pool with a gin and tonic and weep quietly
hola bichon
I can't say I like either of them more than the other
hi kj, ru
why weep? the balding thing again? it must be devestating
Maine was one of the prettiest places I have ever been
Of course Maine has the seashore, but the mountains are higher in Ct and NH
no.. the gin makes you weep apparently.. I need to test it out
i drink gin weepless
sorry VT, not CT
I wasn't so wowed by Vermont.. but I always went there in Winter so I don't know for sure
gorgeous in fall, ru - breathtaking views over the mountains and lakes
I like VT for it's greeness. Less of the rocky faced granite of NH
hmm.. sorta grey and brown in January
Lot's of good breweries to visit in VT and chees places
grayed the 7's but don't have the 8... that can't be good
CHEESE!!!
pe 8.. statues reside on them
ty ru
29.... have to at least get to 13 to beat ru's wall
good luck with that
sigh
throwing down the gauntlet
LOL
any dh?
nope
nope
ty
I'd better go make some breakfast for Mrs Ru.. good luck kj
hagd ru
85f..melting..melting...arrgh!! is what crossy would be saying if he did not have this nifty new air conditioner he bought 2 days ago!!!!:)
haha good planning crossy
Hey Crossy
I can't believe it's 85 there.
howdy hego,leslie:)
it is indeed hego
is that unusual?
did the math,cost of machine and the electricity divied by the 3 months it will be in use works out to $6.65 a day to run
we can get good heat in june,july and august hego
I didn't realise that.
indeed
well enjoy!
canada is wonerous that way.i my life i have seen as high as 103f and as low as 44 below
within ontario that is
here we vary over 100 degrees during the year
over 100 is very rare here
but away from the sea it is more extreme.
80,s are common in july and august
no i meant the range
hi all, do any babblers live in the south jersey area, near the beach?
me, me!
crossy lives near wasaga beach,the worlds longest fresh water beach:))
yes, peri, i do
I thought you lived in North Jersey, hego?
a little far for Peri, I think.
in the center Peri
but near the beach.
I am looking for a place to stay or at least a place to rest before the return ride home. I have doing day trips for the past 12 years and I am getting tired of it.
90° here and I am thanking God for air conditioning
but we leave it mostly for our city visitors.we have nice quiet out of the way beaches for us locals
I usually drive down by myself but sometimes have my goddaughter with me
hi Molly
90 here as well
Peri where are you coming from
getting there molly,we just popped up another degree to 86f
I live just off of Long Beach Isand
81 at the Shore
Phila area
<---Would love to feel an ocean breeze right now
nice Holly
me too Molls, did not have enough energy to drive back and forth today :(
<---sends Molly some breeze.
Peri, where do you go?
Thank you Hego. I haven't been to the beach in years.
may I have some ocean breeze too, hego?
sure Peri.
I have been going to Ventnor but would go to any beach as long as I knew someone there
I have an extra beach tag for ventnor but so far no takers :(
I think I amtoo far north for you.
I think you are too, hego. :(
I live near asbury Park.
I know, hego. I remembered
<---Wants to go to The Stone Pony
you need a special tag to go to the beach??
well come on over, Molly.
is that in Ventnor, Molls
some of the jersey beaches, crossy
It's near my house.
no in asbury park
Asbury Park. The tags are for parking.
interesting
we go to a state park, no badges
open to all for a small fee.
You can park without them, it just costs more.
bl
forgot some places charge for parking
we give free parking anywhere in town with the thought that we want our toursits to stay and be happy and spend money.not be nickle and dimed to death each time they move the car..works ok
sounds like a good idea
used to charge up till ten years ago
But not very common in USA
we would rather you sit and relax at that bistro and not panic about running to the meter every hour
Shore towns here charge for parking from Memorial Day to two weeks after Labor Day.
very nice. I'll be right over. lol
Molly, where are you?
this is more of a township thing hego,we have other areas that charge for parking near us
Maryland, but I go to the Delaware shore, it's nicer.
very nice ther.
Haven't been since my second honeymoon. It's one of those hurdles I have yet to jump, going without my husband.
there
all this parking reminded me.you should of heard the outcry around here as they broached the idea of our first toll road lol
molly, are you a widow?
Yes, two years this May.
so sorry, went through that 7 years ago.
Thanks ((Hego))
every day brings new challenges.
(((hugs ))) to you.
Crossy, here toll roads are a way of life.
it was shot down real fast,get the money you need elsewhere,no toll roads
Yeah, well here we don't pay a gabillion dollars in taxes. I don't blame Canadians for balking at toll roads.
thats where they get it molly:))
true
we have 4 taxes of gasoine and her at least it is curently $5.20 a u.s gallon
we pay,just elsewhere
If they don't get you one way, they'll get you another.
indeed
sin taxes are very high here as well
too bad
hello all, here to hopefully finish!
so if you lead a clean life,do not drive and use the bus life is good for you and low it tax;)
hello goldnut
golfnut
hi alta
agreed Crosshair! Just went to the liquor store:(
lol
going there in 15 min myself:) but gave up the smokes 10 years ago
cant believe how much cheaper booze in the states! good for you! I haven't crossed that bridge yet either ugh
good thing too.
Crossy, how's the foot?
all better hego,just left with a sensitive spot if i step on sometyhing hard
great and how is Amos doing.
amos is still learning.the 3 year old male treats him like a little brother and they do well together.the 6 year old alpha female still wants to rip him open
Oh, my.
poor baby
it is a process.she will either tolerate him or not
usually they do, after a while
but have to be carefull when amos is this small,she is 15 pounds and all muscle and claws,she could maim him in one swipe
mean bugger

hey, dorens!
watching the Tony awards tonite?
took the words out of my mouth doren! haha
not me
Tony's until Madmen....
Mad Men was a shocker LAST week, eh?!
sunday night there is old time radio on WAMU here in DC and I can get a lot of work done listening to it
probably will une... and see which of the shows that I wanted to see win, Other desert Cities, Clybourne Park. I haven't seen anything lately but think i'll get some tickets for the summer now
Don't tell me!! i have madmen taped from last week... life go too hectic.
I missed it, but read synopsis...I figured something ugly was going to happen...
NOT going to miss it tonight!
lips are zipped, dorens! LOL
went to my 45th HS reunion last nite/this morning. Really a trip. For once, we are all so mellow and secure in who we are that we could really talk. even to folks we didn't know back then (class was over 850) and it was truly an amazing experience
what fun, dorens! :-)
nice dorens
*breathing sigh of relief* that I didn't give up any more for dorens....
connected with some from long long time ago, remembering them in pigtails but they have the same expressions and gestures...
sounds lovely dorens
really looking forward to the 50th... it will be even harder to get the boys out there on the dance floor i think
me too, jilly LOL
i guess i better watch it this evening. was good?
850?? Wow, I went to a small high school.
Because of all the arthritic hips?
tres dramatic, dorens
my high school was 650 and same size as my college
teaneck nj. very big school, particularly back then (we were real babyboomers)
my high school and college were same size too -- 1200
My school put the HIGH in high school
:-D
850 was the class of '67. there were two other classes there... back then junior high was grades 7 - 9.
WOW!
Dude!
that is a different issue ru
okay must toddle off for a while bbl
later, jmc
oh well, of course there was some of that (for old time's sake). My buddy from Oakland brought a lot of "medical" m and we enjoyed that. (the wine at the bar was lousy)
Speaking of high, it's the 30th anniversary of Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Spicoli rules!
aawww
LOL..actually FB has put me in touch and relationship with a huge number of high school classmates...it's funny, I have more in common with many that I had nothing in common with 36years ago
thunder rolling through here, i should probably sign off. later all
later, dorens
*Plays "Everybody Must Get Stoned" for Dorens*
now that's gonna be in my head all nte . . .
*nite
10 to go -- BBL to finish *poof*
I went to high school in California in the early 70's...think FT at RMH was based on my high school...of course, I was a good girl then, my wild child came out in college...
bye une
what part of California Jilly?
that's when I was in high school too
San Luis Obispo....
oh. that's a nice area
I graduated in 72 .. I tried to graduate a year earlier.. but I forgot to take an important course to finish
I was hoping to graduate early.. joke was on me
Yep, pretty pricey these days, I left in 1977...moved back to Montana...then married in 80, moved to bay area, then home to MT permanently in 1989
Bozeman?
I had 525+ in my class...I do still miss the beach though....
Yes, Bozeman in 77, Butte in 78, Missoula in 79...ah, a rolling stone...
I think my class was 700-800
Where did you graduate?
I have good friends that live in Bozeman
hello friends. A lovely sunny sunday here
In the Bay Area
HI Trif!
It's another nice place to live, but has grown exponentially and is pretty pricey...you should come visit ru!
Hi Trif
Trif, hello friend : )
hello!
I am going to visit my friends in Bozeman next spring.. they also have a place in Big Sky
they'll going to try to teach me how to snowshoe..
oohhh, nice! We should do a babble gathering!
Snowshoeing is pretty easy...LOL, now cross-country skiing....
let's see.. Harpjane, Nef, you, and who else lives there?
I don't do cross country skiing .. I'm just not coordinated for skiing
I keep crossing the skis and then fall over
lbd too, and there's a newbie (can't recall name-damn age thing) living east of Bozeman
my last cross country excursion was a disaster in Manitoba
oh.. wow.. it'd be great to meet LBD
All you have to do with snow shoes is keep your feet apart (judiciousy avoided 'legs spread') to snow shoe
actually, nef is in Minnesota, just has tons of relatives here...
ugh, my dogs are driving me CRAZY.....rough housing all over the place, fur FLYING. How many times a day does a woman to vacuum already?
My cats are wild today too....what's up with that?
Hey, at least you vacuum. I know people with animals who don't bother.
No idea....planetary shift?
LOL...or what sign is rising?!!
I have no idea, but I hope it fades and quickly. the one night I have here alone, no kids fighting, and the DOGS are fighting. God help us all
LOL...no rest for the weary...
oh I am weary....
Hmm, doggies need to be put in a room with a closed door so Miss Trif can have a drink and relax.
That sounds like a very good idea...maybe separate bedrooms?
Maybe outside?
hey there torgone! I put one outside, and took molly up on the drink thing - great idea!
Perfect ..
Hmmm...drink sounds good! Almost 5 PM here...lol
You absolutely MUST make the most of kidless nights.
is one of the f words strange? I am missing one, and the rest seem straightforward enough....
all pretty normal
never mind....monkeys to the rescue!
three about destiny
The only ones I think are strange are 4/7 and 6/30
pt of fa4/8?
and.... ---->sparkles<------
No, 4/8 and 6/33
yay jilly
Boom, boom, boom for Jilly
Yay Jj!
brb...coffee done...
mmm fresh haddock fillets from the butchers cooked in butter garlic,celery salt,fresh ground pepper with a side of golden brown chunky tater wedges and a zesty dip..mmmm
and lemon for the fish
yummy!
well that does it, now i am starving
hehe
Hi leslie!
hello
Must be fish night, we had grilled salmon.
saw some amazing looking hallibut fillets as well but 5 dollars for qhat looked like a 1/4 pound gave me the shakes
we try and eat fish 3x a week.as time goes on trying to digest lumps of red meat gets harder and harder
will try pickerell(walleye) next
used to fish that all the time up north when younger
LOL, we had a big BBQ celebration for our priest that's retiring...had my quota of beef and pork for the year!
Sounds good Jilly
hi all. just popped in quickly to say to molly...my hubby bought me a new keyboard for my birthday so hopefully my typing will be better....probably not though!!:)
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♫ Happy Birthday to you ♪ Happy Birthday dear Lilliann ♫ Happy Birthday to you! ♪
Well, happy birthday lilliann!!
thanks molly and jill :) i'm trying to forget my birthdays now!! :)
guess, what else he bought me molly?
it was nice to see him as we haven't seen him for 5 weeks and he was going to take me out for lunch before he went back to scotland but he had to go earlier to help out the man sub contracts to, but he'll take me out next time he's home.
Glad you had a nice unbirthday!
Waiting...waiting...waiting...
for....for...for....
sorry...sorry..sorry....but you didn't answer so i thought you'd gone off! an iron ing board and a microwave!!
bbl....time to cook dinner...
so i've been spoilt! :)
bye jill, enjoy your dinner
Man, you weren't kidding when you said he buys practical gifts. : )
told you!! lol actually they weren't gifts....as you know i needed a new keyboard and then the microwave blew up last week and the ironing board was ols and wonky, so seeing as he came home this weekend for my birthday he bought the things i needed. i need a george foreman too as mine died but i can't get one the same at the moment...will look on amazon!
hey all!
down to 30...
hi stid :)
Well Lilliann, I'm glad you are almost all stocked up on "needed things". And I hope you had fun celebrating with your man.
I did something "right" today in the kitchen -- bought a ham hock to put in with "Coba" beans (they are a yellow dried bean from Mexico I think), and it smells SO good and the beans are softening up nicely so we will be able to have lovely bean soup for supper! *proud mama look*
we don't normally buy gifts, but i must admit, the bairn and i bought some plastic boxes and cleaningstuff for his coach...and he was really happy!! practical!!
sounds like a lovely way to spend the time together -- sometimes the practical gifts are the ones that demonstrate how well you know each other. *wishing my tom would get me some new art supplies*
i't sounds lovely stid, i must admit, i've never heard of coba beans
I never had either, and then I was in one of the local tortillerias a few months back. They are meaty, but not "beany" the way pintos can be. I really like them.
well, i would prefer nicer gifts or things that i can use hobby wise but my hubby is a very practical person and hates lovey dovey gifts, even from his children!
where did you get them from stid?health food shop or normal and are they dried in a packet or can you get them in a tin?
tortillerias? we don't have them here
i've never had a pinto either
it's spanish -- means a place that makes tortillas -- which in the Americas are thin flatbreads.
pinto "painted" beans are speckled, brownish beans, used frequently in American cooking for refried beans.
I think one can order canned (tinned?) mayocoba beans in the U.S., but not sure if they are shipped to Europe.
i know what a tortilla is but we don't have shops like that here
I think I remember someone telling me that in Spain a "tortilla" is more like what we think of as an omelet?
we have a large and growing population of people from the central american countries, each place seems to have its own variations, but there are a lot of commonalities, too.
well, to me, a tortilla is a flat bread...it reminds me of an indian chapate, but they are made differently....
and obviously taste differently
there are "flour" tortillas made of wheat (which had to have come over with the Europeans), and the traditional corn tortillas, which we eat most often and I make on occasion.
i'll have to look for those beans stid. i have a 3 bean salad in a tin which is cannellini, flageolet and adzuki beans, which i've never heard of before
adzuki beans are nice, you'll like them I think. A little sweeter than other beans.
we3 have the flour ones here...sold in all the big supermarkets
you eat a lot of tinned food in the UK, don't you? Most americans buy frozen it seems.
rofl I just realized why it is so quiet in here right now, the kids (Grant and his gf) took the budgies/parakeets outside.
well, i normally buy everythig fresh, but there are certain things i can't get fresh so i will buy frozen as that is the next best thing and then tinned
we buy canned beans at times, but it is so much more expensive than buying dried beans -- and I don't like the mettalic flavor of the canned ones.
or the metallic flavor *sigh* feeling tired all of a sudden
obviously the different types of beans i buy in a can and i bought tinned pilchards the other day for my old male cat as he's not been eating alot lately but now my kitchen stin ks of fish!!!
ah, pilchard is a fish -- like a sardine maybe? *runs off to look it up*
LOL yep! exactly like a sardine!
lol stid, i thought you meant quiet in the chat!! so you have parakeets and budgies?
i fin ished eatrlier stid, are there any clues you need?
I am down to 21... not listing yet though so it's hard to clue for me.
yes, Grant has two (replacing the one who died this past winter), a male and a female. We are thinking they will make babies...
what letters do you have left?
parakeets or budgies?
it's the same critter, actually, but not all people know what budgies are...
i need one more from the upper C, I have c3 4,5,5,4 and ch 5 from that one
budgies are different from parakeets...budgies are smaller
hm. not in the U.S. -- words are used interchangeably!
well here, budgies are alot smaller and have different sized beaks...i only know as i've had to go to alot of wild fowl parks as my father in law likes them.
just looking for your c
budgies aren't wild in the states, except in a few places where enough have escaped to form breeding populations. Around here, they would stick out like a sore thumb and be very nice eagle treats.
and I have to add budgies originated in Australia . Morning all
hey lynxxx! yes, they did originate in Australia -- I remember feeling some amazement once when mrp talked about the commotion they were making outside her window!
Hello all. We are having a thunder storm and the dog is bhaving terribly. Poor guy.
ce 4/6 -- add princes **
hey BR!
just looked it up and you are quite right, stid, so i apologise, budgies are the same as parakeets
Hello BR.
aha! thanks BR -- a babblet, of course
but when i've been to w3ild fowl parks, it has had parakeets and they are bigger
Hello
hi Redf - and BR!!
Hello, lyn
it's okay -- sometimes names and local populations differ, so much that it's really hard to talk about critters trans-nationally!
hi lynn, red and br :)
Hello
BR, it's sunny here, and just lovely weather. I hope you are also having good weather for the time of year? At least I haven't heard of flooding there recently.
And red -- why is dog behaving badly? just the thunder? Lucky is pretty oblivious most of the time to storms, but we don't get that many thunderstorms.
for it being an el nino year, we are getting a lot of rain and weather. but not severe.
He has gotten very nervous over the years in Florida.
our June is "supposed" to be gray and cold, but today feels like a normal June day, which is nice. I am able to have the windows and doors open.
Hi. Just trying to finish up. Dad is on his way over to work on the trailer, mama.
we're sick of the rain here but saying that.....wimbledon will be on within the next couple of weeks so it bound to rain in june!!!
hi stidg.
hi stigmere
good to see you red, not seen you for a long time, i hope you are keeping well and your job going well
hi stidgemere, nice to see you, i hope you are keeping well
I'm doing well, new job is stressful, but I am settling in , hoping to keep job! so far looks good!
Hi red and lynxx. Happy birthday lilliann.
ooooh Sings out Happy Birthday to Lilli!!!!
Hapy Bday to YOU!
hello Mother -- I snagged an Afternoon assignment tomorrow, and a Thursday morning at the school I was in Wednesday. Both for teachers I have helped before, so there should be some sense of continuity for us all.
not glad about the stressful bit red but glad everything else is going well red
echoing the Birthday Wishes for Lillian
thanks stidgemere and red
Thanks for letting me know, Mother -- I think I heard the truck door slam.
and lynn, it was yesterday :)
Tom says "not yet"
Good for you mama. Perhaps Tuesday we can get the eggs.
Tuesday I am working all day for my 5th grade friend...
But I can swing by to get the eggs afterward and then come visit with you if you like
LOL still stuck at 20. Mother, if you want to call, I can talk for a bit. Need to get my eyeballs off the screen for a while.
i'm now going to bed as it is early hours and as i'm another year older, i'm tired!! bye all and tc.x
lilliann, red, BR, molly, lynxxx (everyone) nice to see you -- back soon as I can sweet dreams lilliann! *poof*

The media is cautioning against flash Cobb's

many tourists are seeking shelter at the Waldorf...
but management of the hotel is afraid of wal-nuts
Christina Arugula is trying to organize a benefit concert
LOLOL

It may be chard to weather the storm, but Floridians will prevail
I'm glad it isn't a Frisee concert

Hey 2Bit, what is little Missy up to these days?
she hung out with most of her cousins today - fun times
and she said my favorite sentence ever this evening before bed "daddy wanna dance wif me?"
ahhh what a girl!!
of course, there is only one honest answer to THAT question
how old dan?
2 years 1 month 2 days (not that i'm counting)
I was a daddy's girl dan2...it's wonderful. One of my favorite memories was dancing with him!!
ahhhh yes they are great at that age....my youngest granddaughter will be 2 in september.
trying to enjoy it while she still wants to dance :-)
Ah, she is an old soul, wee 2Bit. She knows the value of dance. And dancing with Dad.
Well, if my relationship is a gauge, there were very few times I woudn't have danced with him! Wish with all my heart I could again!
Aw Jilly, that song "Dance With My Father Again" must make you teary.
I will try to be a dad like that, Jillyjill
I think you already are...just hug, love and support..
Yes it does Molly :'(

hi again all!
hi uu!
p picked off
Frank is running for county board, so we marched with the county Democrats in a local parade this morning - was fun although hot
very small town, probably about 3x as many people in the parade as were watching :-)
wtg uu! let sanity prevail!
lol, sounds like here, except us progressives are the minority..
yeah, we're the minority here too, at least in the rural areas (which is most of the county)
we have lots of parades here but they are generally not local
this is a town of 1200 people, train tracks running through the middle of it and surrounded by corn fields (very much like my town, which is 5 miles away, except we have 40,000 people and a university)
OK, smaller than here
u in Rantoul?
but train tracks surrounding by farm land and forests
hi uncover
howdy all
hi jes!
hey
hi jes
I'm in DeKalb, uncover, the parade was in Malta (IL)

whoo hooo jilly?
*confusled*
Sorry, that FW was in there in reply to your question on the "in line" comment I made, my FW were hours ago
i thought so. . . but i am easily confusled
we have two cats, Jilly, a large fat one and a small psychotic skinny one - they hate each other - we are trying to put the small one's food where the big one won't get it but it's not easy (pretty funny to watch them though)
wtg jillyjill!
Ahh, I see!
i have 3 kitties, they are funny, smart,kind, i love them!
I love mine too but they are a riot
have you tried the bedding trick with them?
bedding trick?
whatever they lay on, switch it so they are laying on the others scent
i have one geriatric cat that nearly di** by my own hand when at 3 o'clock in the morning she tried to jump up in the bed when i was on the edge . . . and she needs to use her claws to get up anymore. . .
i had to get up to wash the holes in my arm. . . :-{
ouch!
ah - they've been like this for five years now, we've tried all kinds of tricks. I think they are in a permanent state of dislike.
clue for the first la4/4.....please
hi aeb
one of our two likes to squeeze in under my arm, then knead...claws hit my inner arm...he's lucky to still be alive!
i would say short for mothers milk?
saw a thing about 2 turtles in a German zoo. Been together happily for 115 years, now they decide they dont like each other
agree with jmc

My friend & I were on our way to me 4/5 another friend to go ca4/5r a big graduation party when somebody backed up too fa 4/7 and slammed into the car I was driving.I tried my be4/7 to avoid collision by be4/7ing horn at other person who was about to back up into me, but he did not he4/6 my warning. His rear bumper became em 5/18ded into my headlight and took a huge bi 4/6 out of my light. Glass shattered all over into bi 4/6 and pieces on the ground. I cl7/40 w/other driver and his friend as soon as we got out of our cars. Th4/7 se4/5ed like big jerks. His ey4/6 glared at me and he la 6/24 out at me saying it was my fault. He told me he had other huge de 5/16 that were so de4/6, he could not pay for my light. I told the other driver that I de4/6ed it necessary that he pay for a new light or give me the money that he ow4/9 me for a new light.Needless to say, other driver had to pay a lot of ca 4/6 to fix my light. I am going to sign off now in ca 4/5 hubby needs laptop. By the way, everything in this story is fa5/16,not true.I'll see you all you babblers tomorrow
