12:39 am

where is that, Dee?

northern Indiana

12:39 am

definitely, Erda.. would be lovely

ty anike

ms. goldberg with an extra vowel

12:46 am

whoopie

12:46 am

oops

weather is so goofy... fires all over; floods in FL; no rain here... so strange

12:46 am

missing w x2, s and one from each of the 4th col p's

12:46 am

Clues are up

12:47 am

that's why it's hard to have average weather....it is an average of extremes

12:47 am

TY Lickety!!

so true dart

12:48 am

does your new house cool better than the old one?

12:49 am

tyvm mrp!

yes and no...basement is very cool; main floor was doing well till 6/21 - broke; they replaced a capacitor and we thot all was well, but today it seemed to be struggling... not sure if due to extreme temp of 107 or if something else is goofy; repairman only hear about 20 min, so not sure he fully checked a/c... we'll see in a day or too

we have 13 ft ceilings, which isn't helpful in extreme heat

12:51 am

fireworks

no trees, which we love, but also not helpful in extreme heat

wtg anike

12:52 am

Off to do my shopping now - happy babbling everyone

12:52 am

luckily you don't get the heat too often

water table has dropped 10 feet in this area due to the drought... 2 others in neighborhood have had well / pump issues

have fun anike

12:52 am

bye anike

I'll have to pay more attention to our weather man; I think today might have set a record

12:53 am

just the sp 6 now -- a clue, please?

we have ceiling fans everywhere, which is really helpful

12:54 am

ft wayne had 106...old record 102

Or hugging poofs?

1:14 am

<---knows that one

I won't ask, ru... I just won't.

1:15 am

one word I'd never seen before (unless I'd forgotten) -- sp6, meaning "1. one of a body of native Algerian cavalry in the French service. 2. (formerly) a cavalryman in the Turkish army."

1:15 am

we didn't have ipods in those days neil

1:15 am

Oh duh. That's it stid... was trying to think of it.

1:18 am

Ok Glant... what stid said.

1:18 am

Bore da Stid!!!!

1:18 am

yay, the gang is all here. still trying to work out how to use a different email system. will try later to email those of you whu are unfortunate enough to be in my address book

Pay phones, yeah.

grannyrose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

1:18 am

hey gran

Where and how are you?

Are you in the hospital yet?

1:19 am

{{{{{{neil}}}}}}}

1:19 am

*unpoof -- hi grany -- how goes it?

1:19 am

hey grannyrose (((gentle hugs))) still making progress, I hope?

Ummm, make that "fortunate" [very]. :)

1:19 am

we still have pay phones here but mostly the take credit cards

Did you have the surgery already?

1:19 am

and dart, we have FM radio

1:19 am

neil, surgery all done, up and weight-bearing with crutches already

Oh wow Rose... feel so out of touch.

Wow again! How's that going?

1:20 am

hooray, granny! You see, there was nothing to worry about!

1:20 am

hope it's all going as well as it sounds granny

And what have they said about your progress?

1:20 am

just gotta love that oral morphine. lol

1:21 am

jilli talking about the things you don't see anymore.....cars only had AM radio for a long time

1:21 am

oh, yes, dart -- you were talking about cars

I'm glad it's working well for you Rose. :)

1:22 am

" they" are all stunned. apparently most people take 2 weeks to get to where i am

So the surgery must have gone well? :)

Oh wow!

1:22 am

that's great gran

1:22 am

yikes, nbt and down to 33 already.

I'm just smiling... and I'd be ruining my "negative" rep completely if anyone saw me right now, haha.

1:23 am

OH! DART!!!! *choclit-confetti happiness*

1:23 am

I remember a car in the 1940s with no heater -- in Montreal. I had to de-ice the windshield with my hands while hubby-to-be drove.

1:23 am

hey stid LTNS !!

1:23 am

ah, but granny you are AMAZING, as we well know. They will be speaking of you for years... their model patient.

No heater... there?! Wow.

1:23 am

very well. and i promise to talk as soon as i finish this grid....but then again, chat is more important

It's a small easy grid, Rose... good thing. :)

1:24 am

ah jill -- those were the days, when you were young and the world was your oyster... I remember cars like that when I was that age, too!

1:24 am

I remember black and white TV with three channels

1:24 am

4, 5, 7

1:25 am

am working from the laptop, ot familiar with it's idiosyncracies.

1:25 am

no remote.....rabbit ears you had to adjust....and 3-6 channels

You're doing well on it though Rose.

You can Babble! What more do you need? ;)

1:25 am

well granny you are on drugs too

Yeah dart... people actually had to get off the couch and walk over to change channels on the TV.

1:25 am

We had to have blankets in that car. No turn indicators either, and of course no automatic transmission.

1:25 am

I remember walking a mile to and from school on occasion...

1:26 am

more exercise then neil lol

1:26 am

IT guy here was quite sympathetic when i rang him from my room. i must have sounded really pathetic. he's hooked me into the network, no charge.

Haha dart... was just gonna say that!

How nice of him Rose. :)

1:26 am

I walked 2 miles to school and the same home every day through senior school

1:27 am

whop

1:27 am

So glad, granny, that you're astounding all with your progress. When do you go home?

1:27 am

like ruru said..only a few channels...didn't need to change as much

1:27 am

but you have always been focused on education, glantarell!

1:27 am

yeah, glant, in the snow with barbed-wire shoes, right?

1:27 am

YAY IT guy...

1:27 am

sometimes Rose LOL

Barbed-wire shoes? Huh.

1:27 am

jilli, hope to go home next monday/tuesday

1:28 am

definitely through lots of snow in Nov 73 when princess Anne got married

1:28 am

yeah, neil, to stop slipping in the snow

Oh wow, Rose... that's great. :)

1:28 am

remember it well LOL

1:28 am

Wonderful, granny. And now I must really *poof...

1:29 am

nite jilli

1:29 am

night, jilli. sleep well, hun

1:29 am

I don't remember that royal wedding, but will never forget the one in 1981

1:29 am

I went in trousers because it was so cold and they sent me home because i wasn't in proper uniform (skirt)

1:29 am

night jilli

1:29 am

sweet dreams again jill!

1:29 am

the 1981 wedding was spectacular

1:32 am

we got up to watch it on TV. I was so excited, I clipped and saved so many articles about it, and dreamed about all the interesting things that were going on.

1:34 am

she was beautiful - and so was the dress (although a bit fussy for my taste)

1:35 am

It was a time of ruffles and lace, though -- and compared to some of the garments she might have chosen it was lovely. It seemed to suit her well.

1:35 am

yes, shame the whole thing led to such sadness

1:35 am

are you talking about Diana

1:35 am

She was only a few years older than me, but it felt like she lived in a completely different time and universe

1:35 am

yes ruru

1:35 am

yes, Diana

1:36 am

oh.. she seemed to be a lovely person.. I don't think I have ever forgiven Charles

1:36 am

don't think i have either

1:36 am

not that he cares a whit

1:37 am

unfortunately the world they live in uses people like that -- or did. I really hope that things are changing and that the new generation will have better and happier matches.

1:39 am

not fond of Camilla either

1:40 am

I have to say I like the boys and am warming up to the queen.

1:40 am

okay,I am down to 24 and it's very late here. I think I will turn in.

1:41 am

i'm stuck at 14

1:41 am

I think that they have unfortunate lives... but I really admire Charles' commitment to better the earth. He really seems to take an interest in making the land healthy, and helping people take charge of how they interact with the environment. I know there are lots of problems everywhere, but at least he has something (other than polo) that he is passionate about.

1:45 am

anyway... I don't know how I would feel if that family were even nominally in a position of authority over me. The relationship of constitutional monarch to the people doesn't completely make sense to me, other than that the queen is a beautiful example of a person who does her duty and cares for the people of her country. She seems to clarify and focus the concerns of the people at moments of crisis, and that is something our country seems to lack: a coherent, cohesive, constant symbol of unity.

1:45 am

agreed stid

1:45 am

and with that bit of alliteration, I think I should retire. good night all, and have a lovely Friday! *poof*

1:45 am

bye stid

1:46 am

sounds like america is pulling a boehner

1:47 am

where's neil when I pull off a funny political joke?

1:48 am

Funny???

1:49 am

*sends rescue team in search of hoot's funny bone*

1:50 am

My funny bone is in fine shape wise guy! How ya doing? Getting that knee fixed soon?

Oh sorry ru.. was busy with a friend on IM.

Can you get on there?

1:50 am

I hope so soon.. maybe early this fall

And that was bad ru... sooo bad. :P

1:51 am

Well I hope it works out fine!

But I'd expect nothing more of you. Haha.

1:51 am

thanks hoot

1:52 am

hearing granny doing well gives me confidence

I'm sure you'll be fine ruru.

1:52 am

yw

They seem to do these surgeries very well these days.

1:53 am

yeah.. well

1:54 am

ruru, go for a shapematch knee. stryker in US of A make them. google it, it;s really incredible

"yeah... well"?

Is that what you got Rose?

1:55 am

yup, neil, a designer knee, made especially for me. it even had my name etched into it

And I'm going by a woman who was our neighbor in San ?Diego, ru... she had it done a few years ago after being pretty much crippled with bad knees. She could go up and downstairs like anyone else and even run for the bus after she healed from that surgery. Big difference.

Wow, how cool is that Rose? No wonder you're doing so well. :)

How did that ? find its way into that? Weird.

1:58 am

is the 8 a compound word

Yes, ru.

1:58 am

" cos it's good english??? lol

2 of the words in the grid put together.

A display you may enjoy if your name was Tom? lol

I'm referring to the ? that appeared when I typed this, Rose: "San ?Diego"

Finger must've hit it accidentally.

2:00 am

god damn

What ru?

2:01 am

aha! that explains it then. don't ask, neil.i'm not sure myself. *giggle*

Haha Rose. It's ok. :)

You ok ru?

2:03 am

back - phone call - and NBT at last

2:03 am

yes..

Oh good. What was the "god damn" for?

2:05 am

I missed pe 8

2:06 am

just got it - ty

Oh, ok.

2:06 am

not that I go to them

Yeah. I guess that one should've been kinda obvious to you, huh ru? lol

2:06 am

it was a really good one, too, ruru. better luck next time.lol

Sure, sure. :P

2:07 am

I can only have so much marshmallow

I'm just getting him back a little, Rose.

He has it coming to him. ;)

:P

2:07 am

oh dear, neil and i on the same wavelength...this could get interesting

Or... scary?

2:09 am

look out world, here comes the dynamic duo

2:09 am

Wonderwoman and Superdork?

Haha Rose!

2:13 am

hey, who you calling a geriatric? neil, be insulted for me please, there's a dear. it's time for my nana nap

goddamn. You just had to!

2:13 am

"don't ***k with my Medicare"

Ummm Rose? I said that word. :P

That morphine MUST be good. Haha!

2:14 am

nananana... nananana.. hey hey... goodbye

:P

2:14 am

Goowill? I don't wish goo on anyone.

2:15 am

pfff I was so sick yesterday from the weather. Never been that sick before from it. Getting older seems to make it so much worse. Silly.

3:17 am

was it too hot?

3:17 am

it was over 30C here, very unusual

3:17 am

plies

3:18 am

sorry, is there coffee in the PB?

3:18 am

no, too low air pressure. It was hot, but also storm and thunderstorm threathening.

3:18 am

lol of course! And homemade jelly, and croissants, and duck pate...

3:19 am

<-- still eating spicy Dutch cheese and crackers!

3:19 am

lots of lovely fruit... oh I miss the food too!

3:19 am

and white peaches with sugar and cream

3:19 am

ah good! I love it that you enjoy the cheese.

3:20 am

I'm still saving the second one! Oh, and of course, I am rationing out my Jenever!!!!

3:20 am

what do you prefer, ruby, with emailing? Shall I wait until you answer my last email, or shall I just write when I feel like it?

3:21 am

I drink a little snort each day

3:21 am

lol don't ration it out. You have 2 bottles, and once they are done, we will make sure you get new ones.

3:21 am

write when you feel like it, as I do. At the moment, I'm drowning in paperwork

3:21 am

ague

3:21 am

did it again, better not chat!

3:21 am

good one, thanks

3:22 am

babble expert not working then for you?

3:22 am

3:24 am

ah nice!

3:25 am

phantom: excuse

3:25 am

yeah, tried that too :) I so want to use that X. How is your husband?

3:26 am

back to status quo; your visit perked him up, but, unfortunately, it didn't last... :(

3:27 am

half!

3:27 am

awww :( Please ask him if he likes me to email him. I'd love to. Will think of things to cheer him up.

3:27 am

wtg ruby!

3:27 am

"little"{ boy just came in to say hello and gave me a sweet bump and kiss

3:28 am

awwww he is such a funny sweet dog

3:28 am

is he healing up well now

3:28 am

+ a questionmark

3:29 am

the hair on the shaved part is about 1" long and he only has a small scab left

3:29 am

sounds good. And the itching is gone?

3:29 am

his color is changing rapidly, almost the same color as Ruby on his back

3:30 am

mostly gone

3:30 am

that is a very pretty colour. Glad he is itching less.

3:36 am

I keep trying elipse.... can't get the e or the i in the top row

3:36 am

the i = i + law in latin

3:37 am

the e = es + past tense of what a dog does with a bone

3:37 am

slap me with a herrind!

3:37 am

I tried ellipse too. Uch times.

3:37 am

or even a herring!

3:37 am

*slaps ruby gently with a fresh herring*

3:38 am

oooh, got the i!!!

3:39 am

good!

3:39 am

and the other E is a babblet. ep4

3:41 am

Well done sarah

5:58 am

help with that ho7 pls

5:58 am

... ep4/6

5:59 am

ty I saw a clue earlier for the i but did not get it

5:59 am

and I still don't

6:00 am

and I don't see the ep either, too tired, did not sleep well again

6:00 am

hello. easy-peasy it isn't, at least for me!

6:00 am

... I thought it was a legal term ... but it's a tree ... a holly tree

6:00 am

got the i word

6:00 am

ty

6:01 am

I thought it was a kind of antelope duh!

6:01 am

... morning ruby ... got your bike all oiled up and ready to go?

6:01 am

you betcha!

6:01 am

did anybody see last night's soccer match? Just had lunch at the local Italian and he was all pumped up!

6:02 am

<-- loves European sports

6:02 am

... only saw the tv celebration after the match

6:03 am

go the ep ty

6:03 am

... probably a wild party in any Little Italy you can find

6:03 am

it was a great game, but the goal in overtime that they gave to Ozil was a pure "cadeau"

6:03 am

it's too bad that my DH isn't a sports fan....

6:03 am

:(

6:04 am

there's no "little Italy" here, but this part of France was Italian until the end of the 19th C!

6:04 am

... well watch out ... I'll bet that the Bundesbank has something to say to the Italians today as revenge for losing the soccer game

6:04 am

uh oh.....

6:05 am

I think they call their team the Mannschaft!!!

6:05 am

but they were less than useless against the Azzuri!

6:06 am

Buffon is one of my heros!

6:07 am

... The Toronto morning paper actually has a good soccer reporter at the tournament ... his assessment is the very much that the Germans knew that they were going to win so they didn't bother to play the game

6:07 am

may I pls have a clue for one of the 6's and 7's

6:08 am

they've never beaten the Italians in a final or demi-final

6:08 am

... plural of red fruit

6:08 am

or taken a World Cup or a Uefa Cup. Yay for that!

6:08 am

... then put a d in front of red fruit

6:08 am

ok, looking

6:09 am

the IHT has Rob Hughes and Jere Longman, both knowledgeable and interesting and, good writers

6:09 am

sheesh and I already had the singular of the fruit

6:09 am

... the thing you use to move a canoe but with only one d ... and it's plural

6:09 am

tyty both

6:10 am

need a break, bbl

6:10 am

those are very complicated clues, too complicated after 3 grappas!!!

6:10 am

<-- doesn't see any fruit

6:10 am

... The Globe uses their transplanted englishman, John Doyle, who is usually the television critic ... ... I think he started as a reporter for an English paper a thousand years ago

6:11 am

Psssst...what Eve gave Adam

6:11 am

I am so happy, Tour tomorrow and UEFA finals tomorrow night. Poor husband!!!

6:12 am

{{molly}}

6:12 am

Pssst...what you are drinking has the first three letters in it

6:12 am

had those :(

6:12 am

I always love it when Ruby kicks off Friday happy hour at 7AM my time : D

6:13 am

that is so funny, molly

6:13 am

... put a "d" in front of fruit? ... think of a horse with a spotted coat

6:13 am

but it's after 1PM here

6:13 am

Pssst...put a D in front of them for a 6 and 7

6:13 am

I'd rather drink at lunch and then take a nap

6:15 am

... sorry .. it's only 7a.m. here ... and I gotta go impress a guy about a two week teaching gig ... only tea for me

6:15 am

good luck with your interview, dose

6:15 am

Good luck Dose

6:15 am

snap, molly

6:16 am

... thanks ... I got the first two weeks of July for summer school ... but I could use a second session in the final two weeks too

6:16 am

the fruit, mispelled, is in here, too

6:16 am

another Fr word

6:17 am

... but I'm trying to figure out how you take a group of 13 year olds who didn't do any work for 5 months and in 8 days get them to learn enough math to be successful in Grade 10

6:17 am

with heavy weapons

6:17 am

... I was thinking baseball bats to the head

6:18 am

good weapon

6:18 am

speaking very softly often works

6:18 am

... thanks teddy

6:19 am

that's me -- was a teacher for a long time, never yelled

6:20 am

have a small voice, but I wasn't teaching anything difficult, conceptually yes, specifically, no

6:20 am

... appex

6:20 am

... sorry about that

6:20 am

if only....

6:21 am

... really dislike shouting ... but ya gotta shut 'em up somehow ...

6:21 am

... at least for ten seconds anyways

6:21 am

I did it by going really quiet and waiting....

6:21 am

<-- can't shout

6:22 am

but I was "only" teaching art

6:22 am

very different

6:22 am

... my father was an army drill sergeant

6:22 am

... learned to shout loudly at a young age ...

6:22 am

funny, because my origina goal, unfulfilled, was teaching high school math. Unfortunately, never "got\" calculus

6:22 am

... also learned when to shout

6:23 am

... but I never was able to learn how to whistle with my fingers between my teeth ... ... he could rupture eardrums with that trick

6:23 am

I still can't shout

6:23 am

me either, ruby!! the end of my stellar math career!

6:23 am

and I'm old!

6:23 am

loved algebra and trig . . .

6:24 am

ruby, the dog photos are just stunning!!

6:24 am

very funny, une. Calculus was like Greek to me

6:24 am

same, here

6:24 am

they're a little bit blurry, but almost like a movie. The dogs are stellar

6:24 am

switched from math major to French LOL

6:24 am

I switched to art

6:25 am

:-D

6:25 am

calculus was a nightmare

6:25 am

horrible

6:25 am

... but it was the french mathematicians who laid all the ground work for the fundamentals of calculus ...

6:25 am

still didn't get it, even after tutoring ;_(

6:25 am

and required at my university; I needed a tutor to get a D!

6:25 am

... but I know it can be hard to pick up

6:25 am

pfui on the French

6:25 am

ruby, ME TOO!!

6:26 am

that is too funny, une

6:26 am

i had never gotten a bad grade in my whole life until calculus!!

6:26 am

the Fr don't even know whether to pass on the right or left, as pedestrians

6:26 am

me too, une, are we twins?

6:26 am

I had even gone to a math summer camp one year LOL

6:26 am

hee hee

6:26 am

... my inexpert opinion is one of the problems is until calculus all the stuff is either about "discrete" numbers ... i.e. counting ... or is taught like it is ... so when you get the idea of "continuity" which is what calculus requires none of the stuff you've already learned seems to apply

6:27 am

my high school math teacher had high hopes for me but was decu!

6:27 am

my high school math teacher never knew of my calculus debacle LOL

6:27 am

I'm sure you're right, dose, does "counterintuitive" apply?

6:28 am

Ho7,44 Hint please

6:28 am

I saw mine, 3 yrs later and he was very disappointed

6:28 am

... high school math teachers are always living in the dream that one of their students will be the genius who does all the brilliant math things that they were never able to do

6:28 am

where did you go to university, une?

6:28 am

dos, that's right -- i remember being baffled by my daughter's AP math classes where they actually APPLIED math LOL

6:28 am

hi sheila

6:28 am

ho7 druggie

6:29 am

ty for the ho7!

6:29 am

went to Southwestern at Memphis, which is now Rhodes College, small private school

6:29 am

<-- didn't know math could be app*****

6:29 am

... AP math ... impressive

6:29 am

ooohhh, tx, ruby!

6:29 am

much fancier than Queens College, I'm sure

6:29 am

... it's all applied somewhere

6:29 am

Who you callin' a ho druggie, Une? : P

6:30 am

ho druggie is very old-fashioned, but very funny

6:30 am

my daughter's VERY smart -- did AP everything -- which was GREAT -- kept her challenged, which she was NOT before high school

6:30 am

molly LOL

6:31 am

molly is not a ho druggie!!

6:31 am

Ruby, my mom's brother paid for my college education but I didn't know for YEARS -- he made it look like I had a scholarship :-)

6:31 am

my son was a product of "new math", couldn't do simple arithmetic ins 5th grade!

6:31 am

Mother didn't know either . . .

6:31 am

that is a nice story, une

6:31 am

New math...what a joke

6:32 am

jeez, new math . . .

6:32 am

... it's great that she was able to get the benefit of it ... I've seen lot's of kids completely lose confidence in their ability to learn anything because they could cope with AP

6:32 am

it was a very bad experiment!

6:32 am

... just missed it myself

6:32 am

... just missed it myself

6:32 am

I am convinced that I am "math warped" for life because of new math.

6:32 am

dos, t was GREAT -- and her AP teachers were just wonderful

6:33 am

*it

6:33 am

... it was actually pretty good if you got started with it in high school ... but if you got caught in grade1 ... you were doomed

6:33 am

my son, too, but fortunately, he taught himself computers when he was at university and has made a great career out of it

6:33 am

<---Doomed

6:33 am

however, I would be reluctant to give him a column of numbers to add.....

6:34 am

molly is not doomed; she is wonderful and smart!!!

6:34 am

one of her AP teachers even took a vanload of her students (including my daughter) out to NM for a camping expedition -- history and anthropology

6:34 am

she was one of the US teachers of the year back in the '90s

6:35 am

ok, i'll stop!

6:35 am

I was lucky, going through school in NYC before affirmative action. They could still "segregate" the good students

6:35 am

... but she can't do new math ... ... but then neither can anyone else in the world ... so of course she's not doomed

6:35 am

<-- loves une and she should never satop

6:35 am

or even stop*

6:35 am

LOL!

6:36 am

Thank God for my Dad, or I would still be wandering aimlessly, muttering about sets and subsets

6:36 am

... but she should always make sure that she has a good calculator handy

6:36 am

thank you, Molly's dad!

6:36 am

molly :-)

6:36 am

calculators? what happened to pencil and paper? (said by a dinosaur)

6:37 am

I'm convinced LSD had something to do with new math.

6:37 am

raofl!

6:37 am

molly LOL

6:37 am

you're probably right

6:37 am

... The set theory is great stuff and makes the cyphering really understandable ... but you gotta be able to do the cyphering first ... not the set theory ... like they tried in the t0s

6:37 am

speaking of dinosaurs, tomorrow a friend is going with me to Verizon to swap my antique "dumb phone" for a smart phone -- wahoo!!

6:38 am

I think, chez nout, we are the only people in the Haute Savoie (or even in France) without a cell phone\

6:38 am

nous*

6:39 am

... you're probably right ... I think France is like Norway where there are more cell phones in service than there are people in the country

6:39 am

I shudder when even my dumb phone rings

6:39 am

or like America, with more guns than people....

6:39 am

ruby LOL . . . growing up, my family was the last in town to get a color TV !!!

6:40 am

we were the last to get a B&W TV!

6:40 am

ok, gotta run -- loved visiting with you boys and girls!! HAGD *poof*

6:40 am

my son is very hi-tech; I am decidedly low....

6:40 am

{{une}}

6:41 am

me, too, nap and newspaper time....

6:41 am

... colour tv! ... that's how I learned to stay at school for the weekend rather than come home ... ... could watch the Sunday football in colour in the residence lounge ... parents only had the black and white that I'd watched Howdy Doody on

6:41 am

*poof*

6:41 am

<---Still has a dumb phone. Doesn't need to carry around a computer.

6:43 am

... yes ... probably best that I leave the final 11 for later ... ... barkeep! another good day for everyone! ... ... 'til later

7:01 am

9:12 am

Hi All

9:13 am

Hi Hego!

9:13 am

hello again

9:13 am

{{hego}}

9:13 am

((Ruby))

9:13 am

hi steve and car.!

9:13 am

snap!

9:14 am

we finally have our heat wave. What a pleasure!!!

9:14 am

hi Ruby!

9:14 am

hi

9:14 am

here too, not a pleasure. 90 plus

9:14 am

hi kje!

9:15 am

enable has not heard of apps

9:15 am

Hi kje!

hi ruby

9:16 am

hello kje, is it cool and damp out west?

9:16 am

hi steve

9:16 am

enable has not heard of whoopie... which I find sad

9:16 am

cool and damp???? try 100 today

9:16 am

we had such a miserable wet and cold sprin, that I am really enjoying the heat

9:16 am

wow

9:16 am

it is sad

9:17 am

enjoy Rubes!!

9:17 am

kje...try the double vowel on the end and you'll get the same word!

9:17 am

it's never been much above 90 here (it is now) but this is fine. And the garden is glorious!

9:17 am

OK everyone! Have a great day! {{hugs}}

9:17 am

ty jim

9:17 am

yay! ty jimmel

9:17 am

yw

9:17 am

<<<< would love to see Ruby's garden.

9:17 am

and the puppy is huge, as big as old Ruby, just not quite as heavy yet, and he's only 6 months

9:18 am

I feel better for enable now

9:18 am

would you like photos hego?

9:18 am

finally!!!

9:18 am

He'll get bigger, ruby

9:18 am

often frustrating resource!

9:18 am

yes, would have been said for enable not to have known that word

9:18 am

yes Ruby

9:18 am

or even sad*

9:19 am

if I could figure out how to make an album, I'd put them on FB but this computer nullard can't do it

9:19 am

as the vet says, he's "magnifique"

9:20 am

you have to go to your wall and click photos.

9:20 am

that's all I know.lol

9:20 am

do I have to put them someplace first?

9:20 am

I am too old to learn this stuff!

9:20 am

somewhere on your computer where you can access them

9:21 am

Just like you upload your icon here.

9:21 am

I will try again later

9:21 am

never too old to learn, ruby!

9:21 am

I mostly get stuff done by accident.

9:21 am

fun

9:22 am

easy to say, sue

9:23 am

but I'll send you a diorama of the two dogs wrestling. It's a little bit blurry, but it's like one of those old "flip movies" and it's quite funny

9:23 am

I think there's a photo of sprite and my husband at the end, but I'm not sure

9:23 am

hi ruby, hego, kje!

9:23 am

hi Sue

9:23 am

ty Ruby

9:24 am

{{sue}} I saw some nifty cotton/linen pants in the llbean catalogue, if you're still looking

9:24 am

I like llbean because their petite pants are short enough and I don't have to take them up.

9:24 am

are there any words in here?

9:25 am

<-- very short

9:25 am

oh, thanks, ruby, I found some on Blair (on sale for $20 with free shipping) so they are on their way - these are convertible cargo/crop pants, so should work

9:25 am

what is Blair

9:25 am

I should check those pants out.ty Ruby

9:25 am

I am kind of short but regular petites usually work for me

9:26 am

and I like elastic waists

9:26 am

let's hear it for the petites. lol

9:26 am

blair.com, has pretty inexpensive clothes and I have found that their pants usually fit me pretty well - often when I find things that fit my hips they are too big at the waist

9:26 am

I tried buying "cropped" pants, figuring they'd be long enough NOT

9:26 am

<---- tall

9:26 am

let's hear it for the talls!!

9:27 am

well, the cropped pants are short on me but they are nice in the heat

9:27 am

I could tell, KJE! you speak with the authority of a tall person LOL

9:27 am

lolol ruby

9:27 am

cropped pants fit me perfectly as longs.

9:27 am

I can't show my ankles because they're all bitten-up

9:27 am

supposed to be in the 90s here for the foreseeable future, although the 100 degrees yesterday was too much

9:28 am

I have a raspberry and blackberry crisp starting to smell good in the oven

9:28 am

where are you sue?

9:28 am

yum, kje!

9:28 am

I guess I could take on a tall, blonde, young persona on line.....

9:28 am

ap 7 anyone?

9:28 am

hardly any raspberries this year

9:28 am

ap7 - stick a sticker on a bumper, for example

9:29 am

or mascara on lashes

9:29 am

or lotion to a rash

9:29 am

like the fruit but add a vowel toward the end

9:29 am

oh gosh, ty

9:29 am

he works hard...he really ap7 himself

9:29 am

what great cluers!

9:29 am

hi rob

9:30 am

hi

9:30 am

this is much better than real life

9:30 am

but I still don't finish

9:30 am

hahahaha

9:30 am

so what

9:30 am

exactly, hego!

9:31 am

I'm stuck halfway already

9:31 am

bbiam

9:31 am

kje, I am in northern Illinois, about 60 miles west of Chicago

9:32 am

the wandering uusue

9:33 am

and sue is even normal!

9:33 am

what?

9:33 am

: )

9:33 am

No. Illinois is perfect, near Chicago but not in it

9:33 am

how dare you accuse her of normal

9:33 am

Normal, Illinois, n'est-ce pas?

9:34 am

ah. the home of our competition :-) Illinois State University is in Normal, I am in DeKalb

9:34 am

So. Ill., on the other hand, was very hot and humid

9:34 am

aaah, I was thinking you were at Normal mea culpa....

9:35 am

no problem - they are about 2 hours south of here

9:35 am

and the only big city was St. Louis, 2 hrs away

9:35 am

ex- taught there

9:35 am

it is nice being near Chicago - quite a world-class city!

9:36 am

SIU Carbondale?

9:36 am

if it had a better climate, everybody would live there

9:36 am

berry crisp for breakfast - would feel bad, but is it really any different than granola with fruit?

9:36 am

yes, he was in the history dept and I was working on a masters' in design, back in the days of Buckminster Fuller

9:36 am

NOOOoooo

9:37 am

my dept was house in a couple of geodesic domes

9:37 am

ah - I've never actually been down to Carbondale (I hear I am not missing much)

9:37 am

geodesic domes sound cool, though

9:37 am

berry crisp with sweet cream would cover all the food groups, I think

9:37 am

will a dollop of plain Fage Total yogurt - that stuff is like whipped cream

9:38 am

they're an odd space because the edges are useless, even if you're short

9:38 am

you might need a glass of OJ

9:38 am

coffee

9:38 am

yum : 9

9:38 am

had 3 clementines with my first cup of coffee

9:38 am

not an OJ fan usually, would rather have the whole fruit

9:39 am

I just read that the incidence of cardiac problems goes way down if you have a few cups a day

9:39 am

a few cups of what

9:39 am

coffee

9:39 am

coffee has some good benefits

9:40 am

<--- drinking green tea at the moment

9:40 am

yes, anti-oxidants

9:40 am

funny to me that people often think coffee is bad and tea is good - they have most of the same properties and the health benefits of one (for whatever that's truly worth) are the same as the other

9:40 am

although I drank enough coffee when I was younger, that if I live to 100 or so it should average out to a few cups a day

9:40 am

green tea has them, too

9:40 am

I like tea too

9:40 am

does green tea have caffeine?

9:41 am

I eat choclit for those

9:41 am

there is a wonderful tea shop in Paris called Marriage Frere

9:41 am

yes, it does, ruby, although not as much as coffee

9:41 am

they have a blend called Marco Polo - best freakin stuff in the world

9:41 am

great name!

9:41 am

yes, green tea has caffeine

9:41 am

<-- love that caffeine jolt in the morning

9:41 am

I had wonderful tea at a shop in Sorbonne.

9:43 am

next time you are in Paris, ruby - Marriage Frere in the Marais - just the smell walking into the place is heaven... centuries of tea and spice absorbed by those old wood floors and walls

9:43 am

sounds like heaven

9:43 am

should be there in Nov for a couple of days

9:44 am

is ho 7 a compound word?

9:44 am

easy train ride, just a question of whether the home fires would keep burning....

9:44 am

they have another shop now in another part of Paris, but the original is the best, has been there since the 1700s

9:44 am

yes, hego

9:44 am

yes, hego, an old-fashioned word for addict

9:44 am

ty Ruby

9:45 am

sounds like someone who drinks a lot of malty beverages

9:45 am

odd name, the tea shop.

9:46 am

and kje

9:46 am

I spelled it wrong - mariage freres

9:47 am

close enough for jazz!

9:47 am

taking a break bbl. hagd all

9:47 am

bye hego

9:47 am

see you later, hego

9:48 am

bye. poof

9:48 am

http://www.mariagefreres.com/

9:48 am

even the website has a lovely fragrance ; )

9:48 am

only 19 words left, but they're probably unattainable

9:48 am

anybody else want dog pix?

9:49 am

2 here, ruby - listed at 8, there are a few weird ones but completely attainable!

9:49 am

... they're easy with the list

9:49 am

are you posting them on FB, ruby?

9:49 am

fortunately, the pix are not d0gscented....

9:49 am

no, right now I have them in my yahoo and can forward them if you like. I have your address from when DH was in hosp

9:50 am

hi dose

9:50 am

10:05 am

and good morning everyone

10:06 am

yes.saw cosden is in the all clear

10:06 am

hi crossy!

10:07 am

suze!!!:))

10:07 am

and I think Canadian is more ethnic profiling than racial ;-)

10:07 am

was just funny how it was posted was just a small faux pas on the posters part

10:08 am

it is why i no longer re-post i have done so,only to find the info i was passing along was incorrect

10:08 am

canadian, eh?

10:09 am

damn straight! want some kick ass beer jmc?

10:09 am

and don,t be profiling me..lol

10:09 am

10:10 am

lol,molsons gives you the trotts

10:10 am

... that's american ... coors ...

10:10 am

molsons=canadian miller

10:10 am

we have a local micro brewery here called creemore springs

10:10 am

hi dose

10:10 am

american beer=water

10:10 am

... dish water at that

10:11 am

dirty dish water

10:11 am

not all american beer. . .but lots

10:11 am

well, there are some good microbreweries here too, but otherwise, yes.

10:11 am

my f-i-l used to swill the stuff

10:11 am

... I know ... it's all the mass produced national brands with millions of advertising dollars

10:12 am

one day i sat down with him and drank 24 of the things over the course of the afternoon,then went to work lol

10:12 am

micro beer is often the best

10:13 am

sleemans,creemore springs,steam whistle

10:13 am

... stopped at the brewery in Utica New York on the way to Cooperstown ... it's the one that make Shlitz ... which everyone likes to make fun of ... ... however in the lounge after the tour the served several very nice dark beers which were very enjoyable ... ... was really late getting to Cooperstown

10:13 am

there is a beer here produced in hamilton....steeler..thats it

10:14 am

... but that's just cheap stuff

10:14 am

i like sleemans

10:15 am

a nice cream ale or some of the bottled draught

10:15 am

... so do I ... ... but I prefer the Quebec beers from Chomeday ... and not just because most of them are strong beers

10:15 am

i do not have much experience with the quebec micro beers

10:24 am

mmm..making up some 3 layer blt,s for brunch and a pitcher of home made iced tea with the lipton bold tea

10:25 am

... must think about lunch myself soon ... good idea

10:25 am

no idea what i will have served to me

10:26 am

... same feeling ... cupboard is bare ... groceries needed

10:41 am

all us locals did our shopping yesterday and will not come up for air till tuesday this is our july long weekend and we will be invaded by citiots intents on destroying the town,themselves and us.we will come out of our dens on tuesday and clean uyp

10:41 am

Hello all :)

10:41 am

howdy sadie

10:42 am

ol Crossy --- same here at the Jersey shore

10:43 am

I am staying in simply cause its too darn hot to do anything else :)

10:43 am

is the fourth on wednesday?

10:44 am

agreed Sadie, its too hot to go out~Im not leaving my house until I have to go to work at 5:30

10:48 am

Too hot to go out, too hot to play ball, so we'll sit in the house and do nothing at all.

10:49 am

july first is our big one..run for cover!

10:49 am

How hot is it in MD Molly. We're leaving for Richmon d

10:49 am

on WEd.

10:50 am

Gonna be 100 for three days Bich. Bring your Arid X-tra Dry.

10:50 am

Oh by Wednesday it should be a tad bit cooler.

10:51 am

I don't feel like going some place hotter than here. Hubby's family obligation

10:52 am

And it's a good thing it will cool down for the 4th. Otherwise the medical folks on the mall will be doing triple time for all the people with heat exhaustion.

10:53 am

We're driving down on the 4th. What might the traffic be like on the Beltway? Is there a better route?

10:54 am

hi!

10:55 am

On the 4th, you might luck out. Most of the traffic on the Beltway is before the 4th, people going in and out of town. But it's hard to avoid traffic on the Beltway any time.

10:55 am

Hi Pickles

10:55 am

Don't I know that. I just thought there was another way around DC.

10:56 am

There are other ways, but I would suggest you map one out on GPS or Google maps. It's tricky if you aren't familiar with the area.

10:57 am

JMC might be a better resource to tap, she does more long distance driving than I do.

10:57 am

Thanks, I'll look on Google Maps

11:06 am

what?

11:06 am

gonna be a cooker all over this weekend it seems

11:06 am

jmc, just the person. Driving to Richmond on the 4th. What is the best route past DC to take?

11:07 am

it's already 85F at noon

11:10 am

88 here...she says as she basks in the air conditioning hehe

11:12 am

from?

11:13 am

From Baltimre [starting out in CT]

11:13 am

whoopie is not in the dictionary?

11:15 am

27 c (81 american ) here and climbing

11:15 am

89 at home; 90 at work city. Glad the A/C is working!

11:15 am

oh me from jmc?? eastern Pennsylvania

11:16 am

sadie, are you telling me or asking jmc

11:17 am

mid/eastern PA for me too Sadie

11:17 am

oh shoot whoever asked the question

11:17 am

my brain isnt with me yet

11:17 am

I'm asking how to best get past DC. Coming from CT.

11:18 am

grey bottom

11:18 am

Fly

11:18 am

only thing i know about that is not in I 95 that road is a nightmare round D C

11:18 am

lol babble good answer

11:19 am

LOL BR!!

11:19 am

parachute

11:20 am

can't you go down I-81, Bichon?

11:21 am

where does that come from vis-a-vis I95?

11:21 am

may not be direct but better than DC! when I head to NE I go up I-81 to I think I-495?

11:23 am

I-84 connects with I-81

11:23 am

hmmm

11:24 am

but that's way west of CT

11:25 am

I see that now.

11:26 am

Maybe the Beltway won't be that bad on a mid-week 4th of July

11:26 am

remember that there are big fireworks in DC on the 4th!

11:27 am

We'll be there around early afternoon

11:30 am

the traffic WILL be bad - the 4th is huge, no matter day of week, all the events on the mall, etc

Shoopie. Oughta be a word.

11:31 am

and whoopie

it is. PB, Pickes.

11:32 am

I suggest leaving plenty of time, and consider parking in a suburb and taking the subway in or park even further out, and take the train. You can even park at the airport (BWI) or in baltimore and take Amtrak to Union, which is walking distance to most that you want, and metro service to everywhere

11:32 am

no accord to our game

No, it isn't. But I think you get half a PB for the first part of the word. What are they serving there?

11:33 am

no, we're going to Richmond, need to by-pass DC. Leaving from CT around 6 AM.

actually, spell it differently and you got it.

Change one letter.

11:33 am

ah, sorry, misread

11:33 am

you def need to byapss DC! lol

11:34 am

just north of the city, as you go down 95, there will be a diversion to through traffic to richmond, take that

11:34 am

my bad to the pb

11:34 am

will still have some traffic, but will miss the worst of it

What are they feeding the prisoners?

11:35 am

would try to hit there early afternoon - late enough to miss worst of morning crowds going down, and early enough to miss afternoon/evening for fireworks

11:35 am

ice cold lemonade and key lime pie

Any chocolate>

11:36 am

eat it quickly it might melt

11:37 am

but unless you really really must have your car, I am a big fan of Amtrak for any travel up and down the east coast

11:43 am

The journey will go like this. Even though I have told m.i.l. we will be there in the evening, she will call every hour from noon on to see if she should put the food she prepared on. When I tell here there's lots of traffic, she'll still keep call. and, we will have a 4 y.o. with us

11:43 am

sounds delightful, bichon!

11:44 am

of course, you don't have to answer the phone

11:44 am

tell her you turned it off so the 4yo can sleep!

11:44 am

12:47 pm

and now it is time for crossy,s often asked for,staggeringly popular tidbit of the day!!!!

12:47 pm

Those doves released at weddings and other formal ceremonies are actually white homing pigeons. True ring-neck doves are bred to be kept as pets and rarely survive out of captivity.

12:48 pm

for 7s i have a ap and a da. what am i missing?

12:48 pm

and hello, staggeringly popular crossy

12:48 pm

hey all

12:49 pm

12:50 pm

thanks robin

12:51 pm

my pleasure

12:51 pm

got one of them and that brought me to 20

12:51 pm

i have 3 going now, the tidbit of the day,the quote of the day and the undeniable truth of the day..in no particular order

12:52 pm

does that ho 7 build on one of the other ho words? *noticing that we are, yet again, talking about hos*

12:52 pm

got it, and no... it didn't.

12:53 pm

LA, the ho 7 is a compound word

12:54 pm

ha! that is a funny word

12:54 pm

I thought so, too! hope you are well LA?

12:54 pm

pretty good. yourself?

12:54 pm

as a bonus as i go for a power nap,here are 5 undeniable truths for any landlords or room renters out there....

12:54 pm

1.The hot water heater pump that fails will only do so after 5:00 P.M. on Friday evening when every tenant in the building is having a dinner party. 2.The next day , the only supplier in town that stocks parts for the pump tells you that the widget needed to fix it is in a warehouse in Cleveland and the warehousemen there have been on strike for seventeen weeks. 3.You are forced to buy a second rate heater and pump [sold only as a package] for six hundred and fifty dollars, and have it installed by a plumber at double time rates on Sunday morning. 4.On Monday at 9:00:A.M. the strike is settled. 5.On Monday at 9:15:A.M. the hardware store owner calls and says he has found a box containing thirty seven widgets on a shelf in his back room and he will sell one to you at the old price of ten cents.

12:54 pm

poink!

12:55 pm

I am well enough -- today is my day "off" to not be productive. So taking Grant and a young friend of ours on an outing.

12:55 pm

Ah, cross, you've hit the nail on the head for sure!

12:55 pm

where to?

12:56 pm

I think probably the Seattle Center. We have a membership to the Science Fiction/EMP museum which they enjoy, and then we can eat at one of my favorite restaurants before we go home.

12:57 pm

sci fi museum? sounds like just the thing for teen boys

12:57 pm

I cannot get my last sh4. Help!! (Not using list) sh4/6, sh4/7, sh4/5, sh4/9, sh4/5, sh4/5, sh4/6. What am I missing?

12:57 pm

Ugh, Crossy. Sounds like me with a water main leak on the 4th of July 3yrs ago. No water for 3 days.

12:57 pm

sounds great Stiddy!

12:58 pm

Thank goodness for my pool! Temps were 115 degrees that weekend.

12:58 pm

hey judy!

12:58 pm

oh robin, that does NOT sound like fun -- and yet you stayed...???

12:59 pm

another 4/9 judy

12:59 pm

sh 5/14

12:59 pm

no an sh 4/5 - sh** fly don't bother me?

12:59 pm

Just before that my AC went out at the hottest week in June that year. No AC for a week. Again, thank God for my pool. Yes, I stayed.

12:59 pm

O-M-G! Thought I had entered that ages ago!! How embarrassing!!! DONE!

1:00 pm

thx Stid

1:00 pm

YAY JUDY!!!!!

1:00 pm

GG, Judy!

1:00 pm

oh wait stiddy is right i think. two sh 4/9s, both end with the 5-point letter

1:00 pm

I am not a desert person, myself -- have driven through a couple, but it's not a climate I like at all. Even living in non-desert grasslands is too dry for me.

1:00 pm

yay judy!

1:02 pm

I was such a sun-bunny in my earlier years. Now, the hotter it is the less I can take it...even if it IS a dry heat here. Monsoons are just around the corner. Not looking forward to that!

1:04 pm

I like the sun, just not the dry. Western Washington is almost perfect for me, except this year Junuary is a little colder and grayer than normal.

1:06 pm

okay, stuck at 16, and listing. brb

1:07 pm

as usual, many of these are words I did think I entered...

1:08 pm

i don't understand how there can be 6 c's...

1:09 pm

ch?

1:09 pm

ch4, ch5, ch4, ch4, ch5

1:10 pm

all the c's are ch

1:10 pm

yep, those are the ones I have so far, too. apparently there is one more after the second 5 that is 6

1:10 pm

oh nvm, there's a ch6

1:10 pm

I would love to move somewhere warm. tired of shovelling snow and ice in the winter

1:11 pm

add a vowel to the end of the "dogs" word

1:11 pm

stiddy do you need a clue. that is the one I had trouble with the ch6

1:11 pm

... add a vowel to the 5

1:11 pm

nm leslie beat me to it

1:11 pm

1:11 pm

and dose

1:11 pm

and peri... aren't you warm enough today?

1:11 pm

... afternoon ...

1:12 pm

yep, it is in the 90's for the next few days. but I am home now with the AC on

1:12 pm

other housemates went to the pool but I do not like pools.

1:15 pm

It's the sound you make after you get a massage. : D

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

1:33 pm

Hears clinks, and emerges from the undergrowth.....

1:39 pm

Sadly clinking with self :-(..........

1:46 pm

On the plus side, I am actually making progress with the grid..........

1:53 pm

*Late clink*

1:54 pm

*Casts a raised eyebrow at undergrowth cling-ons*

1:55 pm

Hello Molls, and clink right back atcha! (from the undergrowth..)

1:55 pm

*Wonders who Soodle is hiding from*

1:57 pm

I don't think I'm hiding from anybody. But usually lurkers lurk in the undergrowth... Theres more Babblers here in the undergrowth than in the PB!!!! How are you Molls?

1:58 pm

I know. It's become the trendy, new, "in thing" to be a lurker here. I'm fine. Glad it's the weekend.

2:00 pm

I am not a lurker by nature. But my laptop is seriously ill (perhaps fatally ill), and I can only Babble on the smartphone, so chatting and Babbling is almost impossible. And yes, I will 'clink' to Friday!!

2:03 pm

I don't know how you can post here or play here on that teeny tiny screen. I would go blind.

2:04 pm

I'm on a borrowed lap-top now. Hence the emergence from the undergrowth that is smart-phone-land!

2:04 pm

*clink* Yeeha! Friday!

2:06 pm

Everyone is borrowing here today. Borrowing air conditioning, borrowing laptops. Hey Tor!

2:06 pm

Woo-Hoo! 3 clinkers!!! Its officially a party! (Or as my 20 yr old would say - a PAR-TAY).

2:09 pm

*Shudders* I'm so tired of "par-tay", "gawd" and "hawt". Although I can handle it better from a youngster than I can from an old fart.

2:10 pm

Hawt?? I am saying that out loud, and still can't figure out what that's supposed to mean? Translation, please....

2:11 pm

Hot?

2:12 pm

Hot. For some reason, the internet weird speakers say hawt for hot and gawd for God. I find it all incredibly stupid.

2:12 pm

Best celebrity gossip of the day. Katie Holmes has FINALLY come to her senses and ended it with Tom Cruise.

2:13 pm

With an Irish accent, hot is pronounced HOSH. The soft 'T'.... the bane of the Irish accent.

2:14 pm

Oh bless Katie. It took her quite a while to come to her senses.

2:17 pm

I've never seen anything so sad as that poor girl crouching in her wedding photos to try and not appear taller than Tom.

Katie is leaving Tom? No shit!

Sory those of you who are squeamish about language, but that's a shockeroo.

All this and Hare too!

Health Care. My cursor jumped. No Hare.

2:42 pm

Clue for the 8 please

No TomKat? I need to sit down.

Oh, I AM sitting.

Maybe I'll lie down.

My smelling salts please.

2:45 pm

And with tom everyone thought he was sitting when in reality he was standing.....

poor little Suri. If I'm still around when she comes of age, I'll offer my services.

2:47 pm

When she comes of age? The poor kid is probably already warped for life.

2:47 pm

Hello Kap. :-)

2:47 pm

4 going on 44..

2:48 pm

And Spanner :-)

2:49 pm

Just got here now have to leave - damn, happy babbling all

2:49 pm

Hi there.

2:58 pm

75 yr old driving home at 3.45am. Stopped by the cops. 'Where are you going' said the cop. 'I'm going to a lecture on the evils of drink' says the drunk. 'Its the middle of the night' says the cop, 'who in the name of goodness gives lectures like that at this time of night. 'My wife' comes the reply...... Ba boom.

3:03 pm

Ba boom, ba bing! : D

*Passes Jilly a frosty margarita*

5:19 pm

*ahhhh*

5:20 pm

hmm, I went and played golf, so I still have 14 left

5:21 pm

Well, nice to have a smaller one, but a larger one would have been nice for points. Won't be babbling this weekend....leaving town for a wedding

5:22 pm

Ah, bon voyage and safe travels to you Jilly.

5:23 pm

Lots of road miles coming up this week!

5:23 pm

*Smiles that Jilly is not so addicted to this game that she Babbles while on a family vacation*

5:24 pm

LOL...not that saintly...no internet access

5:25 pm

Plus it's a pain to play babble on my Droid

5:25 pm

I forget there are still places like that. Seems like you can get internet access anywhere these days.

5:26 pm

Well, the motel has it, but won't really have time

5:27 pm

Ha! Comcast...number 4 on the Most Disliked Companies In America. I'll second that.

5:28 pm

My son had them...and felt the same way!

5:28 pm

They are awful. Unfortunately, Verizon is even worse and they are my only two options for internet.

5:29 pm

What part of the country are you in?

5:30 pm

Phone...bbs

5:40 pm

Hello all. anyone know if cosdem is OK? I looked through chog and couldn't see cos and they were told they did not have to evacuate the day before but maybe it changed? What awful pictures and news from Colorado Springs area.

5:43 pm

10:46 pm

Hello all, popping in for a chat...

10:54 pm

hi Jilly!

10:54 pm

hey all

10:55 pm

hi stid!

10:58 pm

*lurk*

10:59 pm

:-)

11:02 pm

I finished earlier, can clue if needed.

11:02 pm

Sheesh, I go to FB for a second and everyone comes out of lurk mode...

11:03 pm

So, uusue, what was the theory on the big bang at 10:33?

11:04 pm

Hi stiddy. read your post...how are you feeling?

11:06 pm

dunno, Jilly, lightning hit very close but nothing seems to be on fire and no power is out, so we are fine

11:06 pm

we heard a sizzling noise and then a giant flash and crash of thunder all at once, so it was definitely near by

11:08 pm

Wow, remember an episode like that when I spent the summer at my uncles farm in norther Wisconsin...the dog and I raced for space under the table!!

11:08 pm

ouch, sue

11:08 pm

I am better, thanks jilly -- the swelling is subsiding, and I told Grant what to look for in case it gets bad before I can reach my epipens. But it's not going to go there today, I think.

11:09 pm

I was in a house that was struck by lightning once -- had a rod, but it was still REALLY LOUD.

11:09 pm

wow, that is a relief, stid!

11:10 pm

I had a really bad reaction to something last night...eyes swelled up, itched like crazy and my asthma hit big time...have NO idea what it could be but diphenhydramine took care of it overnight.

11:10 pm

Ya stiddy, stopping breathing would be one....

11:10 pm

oh man, jill -- I hate when that happens. *wonders where my inhaler got to*

11:11 pm

Exactly, jilly. Sometimes the bp drops so fast I don't have time to react and it looks like I am napping... I tell people if I am napping at an inappropriate time go straight for the epipens.

11:11 pm

LOL, I pitched mine at the cat during a night he was playing with the blinds at 3 AM...had one heck of a time finding it last night...

11:12 pm

oh! LOL poor kitty was dreaming of catching critters!

11:12 pm

<--- very glad she does not have allergies

11:13 pm

too make it worse, I was alone last night....

11:14 pm

darn cat was actively making the venitian blinds a musical instrument...I was NOT amused nor appreciative...LOL

11:17 pm

ah, the melodious tinkling of claws on slats... one of the world's most effective percussion sets.

11:19 pm

and guarenteed a standing ovation...with inhaler

11:20 pm

11:35 pm

more frightening to me...he was the chaperone on a youth ministry camping trip when John was in high school...

11:35 pm

I have about 5 minutes left to babble, then want to work on some of my reading activities.

11:35 pm

salut, stiddy!!! transported a precious senior doxie this afternoon -- such a sweet girl -- 14 yrs old -- so glad a woman in VA is going to care for her in her "golden years"

11:35 pm

11:37 pm

And how are the four footed children doing with that??!!

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

Yep...gotta head to bed, going to a wedding in Helena tomorrow...Kevin is here..ttfn babblers!

11:39 pm

Sweet dreams also Une

11:40 pm

harp, do you need any clues before I go do some reading and thinking?

11:42 pm

guess not -- have a wonderful rest of your evening, and see you again soon I expect! *poof*

11:45 pm

jilly-I don't think the cat has figured out what's going on. they are just these little fluff balls in a nest.

11:46 pm

thanks stid, but I think I'll just go to the list. I have 52 left and I don't feel like pushing myself....

11:53 pm
