oh dear, so sorry for your mediocrity

jbp, I use wordplay in my clues.

1:04 am

all the good cluers do, juju

no, it doesn't, it has to do with her pronunciateion :)

I have no idea how I typed that horrid spelling but you get the idea.

1:04 am

eh, I'm too lasy!

I managed to sleep on the flight home, too... no screaming babies this time. And the Newcastle Browns and Scotch helped. ;)

Hi and good night, flosey.

that's nice Neil. Does the cute woman in the photo have anything to do with?

1:06 am

well, still no o. but it's way past my bedtime...

Anything to do with what?

1:07 am

half your luck, buddy. my nights are becoming a nightmare. .....well last night was a little better. will see if the new regimen works tonight

Look at the 1:01 clue. I quite literally spell it out there!

Oh no, Rose... why? The pain's too severe? :(

your blissfulness.

Huh?

I just looked at the clue... you've lost me?

1:08 am

it just aches, neil. but as i said last night was a little better. mind you, knowing you were home safe and sound helped

Oh, the clue was for jbp.

"hop in, get busy, a clue is hidden here!" ???

Aww Rose. Don't worry about me!

too many conversations, sorry about that!

Oh, ok melon... but I'm still lost. lol

Anyway, your gf is cute!

1:09 am

OHHHH, i got it. ta ever so, juju!

1:09 am

neil, lose the 1st consonant, use the next 5 letters

that was a clue for the bottom row O.

Oh that, well... I meant being able to sleep in my own bed again and get enough sleep was bliss.

What are you talking about, Rose? I wasn't asking for any clues... I finished a while ago. :P

yw ever so, jbp!

Ah, where have you been?

1:10 am

well, duh, what a duffer i am....of course you would be finished.

No. Uhhh... don't really want to explain here.

But well... Dad and I flew over to attend the 3 Queen concerts at the HMV Apollo theater in Hammersmith, London... July 11, 12 and 14. The last one was on Saturday and we all flew home together [4 of us] on Sunday.

'sOK, Neil. I'm off to hit the hay. Lots of stupid errands and phone calls tomorrow. Be well!

Why would you use my stats when Lickety is posted, Rose? Lickey's sooo much better.

Sounds like fun and my life, melon. :P

Wow, Neil, that is some trip. Now I really have to turn in! laila tov! [poof]

Haha. You need to come over here and do what, Rose. Swat me?

Huh, ru? To capture what?

Her sleeping while I'm out here on the computer? :P How exciting.

1:29 am

well i could probably reach your knees. lol

Reach my knees? You're not that short are you?

And I'm not a giant like dart you know.

I'm only 6' 1".

Well somewhere between 6' and 6' 1" anyway.

1:31 am

lol

1:31 am

well if you're on the move.....at the moment knees and below are my only chance. and yes....i am vertically challenged.just over 5'.

Hey. It all depends on whether I let my hair grow in too much or have it buzzed off short. :P

Oh, ok. I thought you were saying you'd only come up to my knees, Rose... I was pretty sure you couldn't be THAT short.

1:32 am

I just cannot comment

Sure you can ru... go for it.

Oh come on... could use a good laugh!

You're welcome, Jenny.

I'm curious... why did you put a 0 at the end of your player name, Jenny?

1:42 am

lol, reading back through chog, ruru couldn't make a pun out of my comment re neil's knees? losing your touch, mate. ( there, left it wide open for you )

1:43 am

oh.. I am PG tonight granny

1:43 am

ahhh i was trying dixie lol

Or is that Kneel's knees? :P

1:43 am

pg ru makes me sad

when I first registered with another sight about 9 years ago, someone was already jivingjenny and adding the 0 was the easiest. If you could see me as a 75 yr old overweight crippled lady you would realise that it is the joke of the year!!

1:44 am

oh, good heaven's! what am i going to do with you two?

1:44 am

at least granny won't have to pull herself up by her bootstraps

Oh I see, Jenny. Well we can't see you because you're not "pro" on here. It would be nice to though. ;)

With who two, Rose?

Ruru et moi?

1:45 am

you and ruru, neil. you both make me laugh. thank-you so much.

We're just probably too silly for our own or anyone else's good. :P

1:46 am

yes granny how do you aussies say it? give a yank on the wank?

1:46 am

and ruru, bootstraps???? wrong era, methinks! try crutches, walking stick....now there's a thought

1:47 am

rofl, ruru!!!! i don't believe you said that!!!!

1:47 am

I thought granny if you were at knee level you could pull yourself up with something

Oh god... no no, I can't say it. I just... can't.

Or can I?

1:47 am

anything within reach or offer

1:47 am

you both asked for it

1:48 am

or offer?

Ummm, if it's what I think you're suggesting, ru? Let me just say: OUCH!

1:48 am

neil??? are you offering??? you're always saying what a dork you are.

Am I offering WHAT???

1:48 am

ROFL

HELL no!

1:49 am

rofl, can barely see to type

That's someone else's exclusive property. ;)

1:49 am

Apple has neil test the breakability of Ipads

Oh shit. Here we go again... but not like I need to worry much. Ruru never explains that one.

1:50 am

oh, like the guys who play the piano with their......um.....whatsits

And FYI ru? It was an iPod Touch.

Get it right at least!

Uhhh no, Rose.

1:51 am

1:51 am

okay, okay, let's elevate this chog a tad.

Fugue? I can play one of those on my piano. :)

There, Rose... done. We're talking about piano music now. Haha.

1:52 am

how could someone play with an appendage on the piano

1:52 am

so can i neil, if i had a piano, that is

1:53 am

oh, ruru, i'm sure it's on youtube or somewhere. neil can you help out? with the site, silly.

Why would there be an "appendage" on my piano ru?

1:53 am

I would think the sounds would be crotchety

What's on Youtube?

My piano playing?

1:53 am

no.

Nope. I haven't put it on my Youtube channel... it's on my Photobucket.

1:55 am

hey jilli

Hi jilli.

1:56 am

hiya jilli

Oh I see, ru and Rose. I haven't managed that yet.

And I was thinking maybe I'd try with my toes... wow.

1:57 am

well .. neil.. practice makes perfect

Ha.

1:58 am

i'm betting Dart hasn't finished this one yet

I think if I went around doing that though, Elisse might divorce me... BEFORE we ever get married. :P

Ha! If he hasn't, ru, that could only mean he hasn't started it yet.

1:59 am

maybe not neil

1:59 am

is ru bragging about having an appendage reaching the pedals of his piano?

1:59 am

elisse I mean

I believe so, jilli.

1:59 am

you never know, she might be very impressed with what you can do with your ....er, um

1:59 am

neil -- is Elisse gathering friends on FB?

I'm glad mine doesn't... that would be pretty inconvenient! Geez.

1:59 am

rofl, jilli, exactly

I think she already is, Rose. ;)

2:00 am

neil started this jilli

Oh sure, ru... try to blame ME.

2:00 am

Hehe

2:00 am

well you are sooo convenient, neil. right there when we need you.lol

2:01 am

:D

Huh. For what, Rose?

To make fun of? lol

And take the blame... yeah, yeah.

2:01 am

this is one tough grid

to put the blame on, neil. and you take it so well, mate.

to put the blame on, neil. and you take it so well, mate.

Ok. Who else here besides me wishes ru would post his own photo on profile one of these days? I still see you in my mind as that funny goat with the human teeth, ru.

2:04 am

i'm thinking of dropping piano and picking up the organ

Ha. That's because I'm used to getting blamed for everything, Rose.... all my life. It's been tough.

2:04 am

yeah.....then we would know him, if we met him walking down the street

Haha!!!!

2:05 am

poor neil. didn't know that was the case. otherwise i would never have said what i did. sorry, buddy

2:05 am

:D

2:05 am

he's tough granny

Haha!

2:06 am

this grid is awful

Rose... I was joking around.

I mean yeah, it happened... but it's funny.

2:06 am

but sometimes the toughies have marshmallow hearts.

"It's Neil's fault!" Yep. It as ALWAYS my fault.

Woops... does that send me to the PB?

no not to PB Neil

2:09 am

mishbukah?

2:09 am

well, my 3pm meds have finally kicked in, 2 hours down the track. so feeling pretty good. just in time for my 5pm round of exercises.

2:09 am

to the non-PC box instead

2:10 am

wish I were there to help you take meds granny

2:10 am

...one for granny.. two for ru.. one for granny.. two.. for

2:11 am

see you in about 10 mins. and ruru? trust me , you would need to pry them from my cold, dead hand

mishbukah, ru.

Hey, scouser! :)

2:11 am

thought so

2:13 am

Hi Neil and ruru does that m-word mean crazy?

2:13 am

mishpachah - definition of mishpachah by the Free Online Dictionary ... www.thefreedictionary.com/mishpach ah Noun, 1. mishpachah - (Yiddish) the entire family network of relatives by blood or marriage (and sometimes close friends); "she invited the whole mishpocha" ...

2:14 am

It seems to have all sorts of spellings, just like enable

2:14 am

ah I see. Hi Jillibus.

Of course, jilli... except it needs that "h" for the correct pronunciation. There's no "correct" spelling of Hebrew words since they're just transliteration from the script.

2:15 am

Hi scouser

And no, scouser... as you now know. ;)

I've usually spelled it "mishpocha" though.

Just because our family tends to use that spelling.

2:16 am

meshuga then?

2:16 am

good morning

Yeah.

That's the one.

Morning, ruby.

2:16 am

<--- I feel like a putz

You look like one too ru. ;)

2:17 am

Meshuga - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster ... www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary /meshuga ... mad, maniacal (also maniac), mental, insane (or meshugge also meshugah or meshuggah), moonstruck, non compos mentis, nuts, nutty, psycho, psychotic, ...

Well hey... since you won't let any of us actually see what you look like, we have to make assumptions.

2:17 am

well my middle name is...

Is what, ru?

2:17 am

mishpocha and meshuga are totally different! one is family, one is crazxy or, perhaps, a "meshuga mishpucha" lol

Mine is Jacob.

2:17 am

and not Hebrew, strictly Yiddish

Couldn't get more Jewish, could it?

2:17 am

oh... i'm average looking neil

Well so what? So am I.

That's really not the point... it's just nice to see who you're talking to.

2:19 am

I'm not actually a cat with a halo, Neil

2:19 am

i'm in the witness protection program

2:19 am

I see the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalogue has a secret pocket-pen camera I could take to SF in Septemer (or so) when we have our get-together and sneak a pic of camera-shy ru to post here...

Yeah yeah... sure you are. *eyeroll*

Ha.

2:19 am

no you won't jilli

Yes yes... you would, wouldn't you jilli?

2:20 am

how do you know, ru?

2:20 am

bring back the goat, ruru or Neil will not give up

2:20 am

and online, nobody knows you're a dog! (old New Yorker cartoon)

Just post a photo of yourself ru. C'mon?

2:20 am

how are y9u, jilli?

He's a very clever one ruby... he types with paws and everything!

2:21 am

or you*

I kinda see him as a Golden Retriever.

2:21 am

I'm fine after a lovely evening out at a super restaurant

2:21 am

no, a floppy golden Labrador, with teeth

You had a super supper huh? :)

Yeah, scouser! BIG HUMAN TEETH.

2:22 am

no, no ru is a Golden Retriever, really!

2:22 am

aaaargh does that put me in the PB?

Like dentures, haha.

2:22 am

and jillibus too?

If it does I'm in there too.

2:23 am

what? why?

We could have us a PB party.

2:23 am

Now yer talkin

2:23 am

a colour

Yep. Free beer in there?

2:23 am

Actually I think we're already having one

2:25 am

Ru, we had a Spanish wine -- 2006 Orvalaiz

2006? Wow... bet that was good.

2:25 am

Ah, I see about the colour, but that was only part of what we said

2:25 am

do you know what the appellation is jilli?

2:27 am

ok technicality.

2:27 am

Is Navarra Reserva 2006 the appellation? I have the bottle here.

2:28 am

Navarra is the appellation

2:28 am

warm area

2:28 am

Just call me ignorant.

2:28 am

no.. I wouldn't

2:28 am

We liked it a lot.

2:29 am

I'd rather call you jilli!

2:29 am

good.. that's all that matters

I'm even more ignorant when it comes to wine... I just know whether it tastes good to me or not.

2:29 am

Ha. ha. ruby ;-)

*agrees wth ruby*

2:29 am

so what's your opinion, ruru?

2:30 am

Navarra is a solid appellation.. the wines are rich and ripe and usually very flavorful and reasonably priced

2:30 am

let's see, laptop running, babble friends still here, cold pack on knee, and bourbon close by....did i leave anything out?

Welcome back Rose. :)

2:31 am

your pull cord?

Medication maybe?

2:31 am

ooohhhhh, {{{{ruby }}}}}}

2:31 am

no grannyrose keep laughing

oh shut UP ru. :P

2:31 am

all of us singing to Ruse (uh oh, hands over ears!)

2:31 am

don't get ruru started again about meds

Or pulling.

2:31 am

I had duck on a black lentil salad with roasted endive and local veggies and a warm tomato stuffed with basil and topped with feta cheese, in a wine sauce.

2:31 am

or even to rose*

2:31 am

who's Ruse?

You'd better cover your ears if I sing.

2:32 am

meds sound good to me....

The singing gene completely missed me. :P

2:32 am

had the meds, have just completed a total of 15 mins on exercise bike ( in 5 minute lots )

2:32 am

it's okay neil.. your brother double the gene double strong

Wow Rose... good for you!

2:32 am

Hi Ruby

2:32 am

**************Fireworks*************** *

2:33 am

Wines here are NOT reasonably priced.

Yeah yeah ru. He got it all... and I'm naturally talentless.

2:33 am

WTG TIJANI!!!!

2:33 am

hi scouser

2:33 am

Hooray for tij!

2:33 am

wtg tijani.

2:33 am

2:33 am

Yay~ tijani

Congrats tijani.

2:33 am

Neil - look at tijani's icon!

2:33 am

you have lots of talent

2:33 am

and smarts

2:33 am

neil, your piano playing is not talentless, nor is your writing.

2:33 am

not true neil. you have a wonderful talent. it's called being a friend.

2:33 am

is that Ru in the middle?

2:33 am

your brother is gifted..it's the breaks

2:34 am

What granny said too.

Yeah... it's like baby rurus!

2:34 am

oh shit

Aww thanks, grannyrose. :)

2:34 am

now now ordure please

2:34 am

my son is a musician and a computer expert and I am neither! but I'm sure he's mine!

2:35 am

horse or cow, scouser?

What a coincidence ruby... so is my brother. He's our resident computer tech. Or was... he doesn't get much time to be doing that these days.

2:35 am

ruru can decide

2:35 am

why isn't di5 (as in cup or south) a word?

2:35 am

morning

2:36 am

ruby, music and computer expertise go hand in hand. they are both mathematically based

He keeps promising me he'll help me build a custom computer rig... when, I have no clue. I may have a few gray hairs by then. lol

2:36 am

hey katie

2:36 am

<---has gray hairs

And by that time? Computers will probably be pocket sized anyway.

2:36 am

john is a prof musiian (lokg up Blind Orange Jefferson - son is the chubby white guy) and a data-base administrator by day lol

Yeah, well... so is my brother. Signed to RCA.

2:36 am

they already are, neil -- iPod Touch etc

2:36 am

you know the answer to that - see (I think it is her's) uusue's profile for a description of Enable's compiler

Oh cool... so he actually works in the computer industry?

2:37 am

I was just thinking that jilli

Yep jilli. I have... or had, an iPod Touch. :(

2:37 am

hi katie

2:37 am

It's in MY profile, scouser

Don't touch that one, ru. Just leave it alone!

2:37 am

I know, neil, and it got broken?

2:38 am

hi katie

2:38 am

ZIps lips

2:38 am

no jilli, too much touching.lol

Yeah. It... yeah. It got cracked.

2:38 am

he has just opened an office in Austin for a "listed" company in Houston - has a staff of 14 and two back-up groups in India

2:38 am

it couldn't get over the hump jilli

2:38 am

I seem to remember something about that cracked iPod...

You see... I discovered you can do almost anything on an iPod Touch. Almost...

2:39 am

Hehe again

Surf the web, email, play games.

2:39 am

rofl, ruru....he said leave it alone!!!!!

2:39 am

bounce bounce

Remember what jilli? I didn't tell you anything?

2:39 am

I watch tv on my Galaxy as well

Uhhh, RURU????

2:40 am

I must have read between the...lines?

2:40 am

*innocent look*

2:40 am

*blinks*

No ru. Somehow I'm doubting you even look innocent.

2:41 am

<--doesn't have an innocent gene anywhere

Unlike me of course... I totally do. Especially in my angel halo and wings picture frame I have on OMGPOP. lol

2:41 am

*coughs*

2:41 am

you missed an opportunity ruru to prove your innocence by showing us a picture

I probably don't either... wonder why?

2:41 am

Hu Neil - I got a harp here too

2:41 am

agree with neil on this one, ruru. you and innocence, not compatible

Exactly, scouser!

You do, scouser? I may need to borrow that.

2:42 am

what has ruru done?

2:42 am

and you look like a cat scouser?

No Rose. No way... unlike me, right? lol

2:42 am

it's not what ruru has done, it's what neil did

What HASN'T ruru done?

2:42 am

ahaa miaou miaou

2:42 am

what neil just said

2:43 am

*hides behind jilli*

2:43 am

woof

Me? Huh. Whaaat? I'm getting the blame AGAIN?

2:43 am

lol, ruby, trust you

2:43 am

neil, re what HASN"T ruru done?

2:44 am

come on ruru put a piccy of yourself in your icon

2:44 am

half and see you all later, kids, dentist now

2:44 am

with teeth

2:44 am

well........

I was responding to jilli @ 2:42, Rose.

2:44 am

neil didn't do nothing, i know, i was there

But if I didn't do nothing, that means I did something.

2:44 am

night, ruby

2:45 am

scouser and I are both black and furry.....

2:45 am

I'll write to you later, Rose, about poor Cadel.....

2:45 am

well I am of European extraction so not exactly black just gently tanned

2:45 am

c

2:45 am

okay, ruby. talk soon

I'm not furry... that's something else HE got that I didn't. Not that I'm complaining I guess. I don't have to endure the waxing sessions, lol.

2:45 am

Cadel?

2:46 am

(like our avatars, scouser lol)

2:46 am

the Australian who was cooked yesterday

2:46 am

My dad (who was not furry) claimed that those higher in the evolutionary scale had less fur.

2:46 am

trust me neil, furry is not at the top of every girl's wish list

2:47 am

I know I-m just trying to raise the tone of the chog!

2:47 am

Hejsdal, the Canadian was cooked last week

I'm of that skin tone too, scouser... from our Israeli background.

Ha, no Rose... that's what Elisse says. :)

2:47 am

I'm so pale I look like I'm dead, just haven't fallen over yet

2:47 am

Yes, I know, ruby :-( but he has hopes for the Olympics.

2:48 am

he was my horse in the Tour

2:48 am

see??? so many years apart in age, and we think alike.

I go paler if I'm not in the sun that much but still have that olive tone. I tan very well and quickly.

2:48 am

*poof* or I'll have to go to the dentist in my bathrobe

2:48 am

I'm not sure if I have been drinking or that I need to be but I'm not following the chog at all today lol

2:48 am

Lucky you, neil.

2:48 am

I believe there is something called the Olympics about to begin down in our capital city London **sniff*

Huh. Well on that one topic anyway I guess, Rose.

2:49 am

i turn red and peel

2:49 am

lol, ruby, you might get a discount

2:49 am

Katie, don't wory, it's going in stits and farts.

2:49 am

not if you saw me, rose, lol

2:49 am

Hi KatieMcG just occasionally the chog goes off the scale. Today is such a day.

So let's see you? We should have an icon theme to post a photo of yourself... a current/recent one.

2:50 am

its granny's fault

2:50 am

spoonerisms too, jibbilus

2:50 am

I can see :)

2:50 am

don't worry, katie, none of us follow the chog. we just through our thoughts in there, and hopefully they connect.....some where

Then since I usually have my own photos posted, I could post an avatar of the comic strip character Calvin. He's sooo me. :P

2:50 am

HEY!!!!! i saw that.

2:50 am

We tried that a while ago, neil -- didn't work for ruru.

Really jilli? Wow. Wonder why he's so shy?

2:51 am

it's my reserved personality

2:51 am

kinda like that, scouser.

Yeah RIGHT.

2:51 am

Oh I used to love Calvin when my lad was little. Just at the moment my three-yr-old granddaughter goes around saying "Now, I've got an idea........ " in a very Calvin sort of way.

2:51 am

quiet, shy, unassuming

2:52 am

just seen a milk advert with the strap line "jog on kitties it's ours", I might change my brand of milk in honour of such a good line

2:52 am

reserved.....in a special bin are you, ruru?

Oh puh-leeease. *eyeroll*

Looney bin.

2:52 am

...self deluded

2:52 am

oh sure, ruru (eyeroll)

2:52 am

... I cudda been a librarian

2:52 am

lol, thanx neil, my thoughts exactly

2:53 am

Librarians are coolio

2:53 am

Hi Katie - lovely cat picture

2:53 am

ruru, you need to be able to read for that job

Ha!!!!

2:53 am

Librarians are a shelfless sort

I think ruru can just about read.

2:53 am

I was a librarian !

2:53 am

oh dear, here he goes

2:54 am

yeah, a is for apple

You WAS??? Ha.

2:54 am

in a school for a few years - brand-new purpose-built library, I was mistress of all I surveyed.

2:54 am

Funny, "lols" is not in the dictionary.

Cool, scouser.

No but "lolls" is.

2:55 am

Ta Neil. I love books.

And yeah... trust ruru.

2:55 am

so what was / is ruru?

Then why aren't you on Goodreads, scouser?

Most of us here are on there I think?

2:55 am

I knew a nice librarian who recently died

ruru needs to join though.

We are in a Babbler's group on there ru.

2:56 am

she checked out

2:56 am

apart from a punster, scouser?

2:56 am

groan

2:56 am

:D

goddammit. He got us again!

2:56 am

oh, lord, ruru. is nothing sacred?

2:56 am

ruru ! .........

2:56 am

never

2:57 am

ruru could give lessons in how to not answer questions. He must work for the CIA

2:58 am

did I miss a question?

2:58 am

you know, neil, i love to read....but i think you must be a speed reader. it takes me forever ( about 6 weeks ) to read a book.

2:58 am

Yes occupation or previous occupation?

He claims he's in the witness protection program.

I don't believe a word of it though.

2:58 am

you aren't allowed to tell anyone :)

2:59 am

I am in the wine biz scouser

2:59 am

after those puns he needs protection

2:59 am

lol

Ok scouser? I need an email address for you to invite you to Goodreads.

2:59 am

mind you, the fact that i only read when i go to bed, and it usually takes about 10 lines for my eyes to close....might have something to do with it

2:59 am

Ah hence the searching questions of your own about the wine.

You bet he does jilli.

Protection from swatting.

2:59 am

previous occupation.. was a marine biologist and scuba instructor

3:00 am

yessir

That might do it Rose.

I did a scuba dive in Thailand.

3:00 am

I need to be off, getting a kitchen and range cooker delivered today and have to finish emptying the kitchen into the dining room *sigh*

Found a shark. Punched it in the nose and exclaimed, YOUR REIGN OF TERROR. IS. OVER. [underwater of course]

3:01 am

enjoy the new stuff, katie!

3:01 am

Neil - you can get my e-mail address from hydra, so I don't need to put it in here. Ta. C

3:01 am

skin diving? hmmm sounds like the ruru we all know. would that be 4 skin diving, ruru?

Ok scouser.. thanks. Let her know?

3:01 am

granny!!!

That it's ok I mean? Mine is on profile here though.

3:01 am

thanks Jilli *Poof*

3:01 am

I"m good at skin diving too granny

If you send an email to the address on my profile then I'll have it.

I put it in there a little "cryptically" so spam bots can't grab it.

3:02 am

lol, jilli!!!! you got it???? you old devil, you!

But just use my player name @ that domain.

3:02 am

I've been a laboratory technician and a computer programmer (in the heady days of COBOL and machine-language) amongst other things

3:03 am

hmmm

3:03 am

OK Neil

4 skin diving, Rose? That I can't do: ✡

3:03 am

i haven't found one single word in twenty minutes

3:03 am

ruru, you don't know the joke about circumcising a whale?

Gee ruru... wonder why?

3:04 am

no

3:04 am

I have a total of 19 words and I don't care. The chog is more fun.

3:04 am

you send down four skin divers

A Jewish whale?

That's so bad.

3:04 am

oh

3:04 am

lol, got you!!!!

You did... goddammit.

I suffer this enough from my dad already.

3:06 am

yay, everyone write it on the calender as a red letter day...i got neil and ruru

3:06 am

neil -- your dad is not Jewish, right?

3:06 am

:D

Well he is partially, jilli... our surname is Jewish.

Mom is totally.

Dad is an Ashkenazi/Norwegian mix.

3:07 am

I seem to have found that somewhere, neil

3:07 am

a

3:07 am

yikes. I gotta go to bed.

Huh?

3:07 am

h, I see.

3:07 am

What's an SB?

3:07 am

Night ruru.

Everyone's leaving?

3:07 am

3:08 am

3:08 am

what's a SB?

Ha. I don't belong in there... do I?

3:08 am

yes jibbilus

3:08 am

Bye, granny -- it's past my bedtime, but it's been fun

3:08 am

rofl, scouser

3:08 am

whew.. glad it wasn't a S & M B

Take care grannyrose... talk to you soon.

Haha ru!

3:09 am

you want one of your own?

Well that could make things more interesting.

3:09 am

I'm too tied up to participate

3:09 am

oh, neil, you so totally do!!!! and jilli and scouser, i'm sorry if i have hurt your finer sensibilities.

I belong in a sin bin, Rose?

3:10 am

*bad granny*

Me????

3:10 am

I don't have any fine sensibilities

3:10 am

oh granny fret not

Tied up huh ru?

3:10 am

;)

3:10 am

if I had finer sensibilities I wouldn't have seen the joke, would I ?

3:10 am

yup, along with me, ruru, and anyone else i can think of. lol. goodnight

Sensibility is highly over-rated.

3:11 am

same here scouser

Good night, Rose. Sweet dreams.

3:11 am

I have to harness my sensibilities

3:11 am

to what ru?

3:11 am

* poof *

I think you'd have to find them first ru. :P

Good luck with THAT search. ;)

3:12 am

I must go to bed -- goodnight all and thanks for the giggles...*poof

Yeah. Guess I should too.

3:13 am

Good night all. *poof*

5:33 am

5:34 am

*morning. Maybe I am not yet awake.

5:47 am

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50 Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.) After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

5:48 am

6:15 am

<-- feels very sorry for Cadel!

6:16 am

he did look a bit sorry for himself - but at least he faced up to losing

6:16 am

and, in the end, how many of us have the glory or last year that he had

6:17 am

it certainly made him a hero down here

6:17 am

and for me, as well

6:20 am

signing off for the night, bit sick of looking for silly words...Bye all

6:21 am

bye lynxx

wow, I think I need to wake up more before finding any more words in this grid.

6:55 am

I don't know Hokie. With these weird words, half-asleep might be the way to go.

7:03 am

7:09 am

8:20 am

<--Has no clue about the shabbas goy conversation below

8:20 am

I don't either but a shabbas goy is a gentile who does things for the Orthodox Jew on the sabbath, like turn on the lights

8:21 am

That much I know, just didn't know where the first comment came from. 'Tis a mystery.

8:21 am

any clues for the a ?

8:21 am

Me too Molly. Just piping in

8:22 am

ag 4/6 an its plural

8:22 am

Hi harpjane!

9:08 am

Yeah, my fault. I have a lot to do, so I prayed for a small grid.

9:08 am

<----wishes she could make music notes like Molly. : (

9:08 am

I am thinking of moving to Sweden and taking up their method of manual training, just so I can say I have done sl****

9:08 am

Machine revenge is ugly. Just ask Hal. (Switches sci-fi movies)

9:08 am

meds? (and why is that not a word?)

9:08 am

Hi Harp

9:08 am

Hi uusue!

9:08 am

9:11 am

Yup...this grid bites.

9:12 am

big time!

9:13 am

♪ ♫ I'm on my way I"m making it...♪ ♫

9:13 am

any grid with 4 words starting with pyx is seriously pixilated

9:13 am

show off

9:13 am

ty unc

9:13 am

ah well - my days have been filled with sick friends - yesterday I spent all day taking a young woman to doctors in Chicago (she has limited vision and can't drive), today it is a friend with advanced cancer who is being seriously ill-served by the medical establishment (he's in a nursing home, needs treatment, but in order to get transportation to the treatment reservations should be made 21 days in advance)

9:13 am

Thank you for that very important clue uncover!!! Working on them now!

9:14 am

Oh uusue...I am so sorry to hear that. I am happy though that they have you for a friend to care for them.

9:14 am

sorry Sue

9:15 am

our clinic used to help people withthose problems. It was tough.

9:15 am

Like pulling teeth.

9:15 am

we are going to try to take him ourselves but he should really be in an ambulance (the cancer has eaten through his bones and his pelvis is broken, so he can't exactly sit very comfortably)

9:15 am

so sad

9:15 am

Oh my goodness!

9:16 am

he is a wonderful guy but doesn't have much money, and they transferred him out of town to a nursing home 35 miles away, so it is hard for his friends to be there for him (he has no family)

9:16 am

HOrrible.

9:17 am

I paid for him to get a phone in his room so at least he can talk to people (before you get too excited it is extremely inexpensive)

9:17 am

That is such a nice thing to do uusue.

9:17 am

{{hugs}}

9:18 am

still very nice, sue

9:20 am

9:32 am

9:32 am

That was the actual name...the words spelled backwards.

9:33 am

9:33 am

And it was pronounced with emphasis on the G..more like Guh-nip, guh-nop

9:34 am

tadone, finito. what a tedious grid.

9:35 am

9:36 am

9:36 am

Hi Dawg! Congratulations!

9:36 am

I too must leave. I wish you all a great day! {{hugs}} to all!

9:40 am

good morning my babble friends:)

9:50 am

wow! 4 tough py words,three i can clue i think..py5/26x2 and py 6/42 are faery creatures and are known in hogworts as cornish py**** just play with the spelling a bit

9:51 am

the fourth is py+ not out

9:52 am

there may be more py,s buts that all i have for now

9:57 am

and the high point tile comes into play again with de4/12 and 5/22= two street names for an anphetamine(sp) known as ****drine

9:57 am

mmm,unless i am the last one to finish and am just talking to myself:)

9:59 am

hi, i"m new today here..are there ways to get clues-- don't understand the tile stats on bottom

9:59 am

hello lanessa and welcome

10:00 am

welcome lanessa, morning crossy

10:00 am

hi there thank u

10:00 am

the stats on the bottom show how many words are in the grid that being with each letter

10:00 am

Another py is the plural of a religous word py5

10:00 am

do not forget to go through the help section to get familliar with everything

10:02 am

but a stat that we clue in here for example lanessa po 5/16 means it starts with those 2 letters,is 5 letters long and the total tile value is 16 points

10:04 am

that does help alot, thank u for the info

10:11 am

and we will also clue with cryptic clues from time to time like the py clues below

10:13 am

once you get used to the game,there are other aids available like lickitys list which is a porgram that will give you the the first 2 letters and stats of every word in todays grid

10:13 am

leaving lanessa in the good hands of crossy. must go grocery shopping before it gets too hot. have a great day everyone.

10:13 am

tc lbd

10:13 am

nice day here and 70f and sunny

10:21 am

and for those following the saga of my eggies purchase ,i told you last time they were smaller than they were shown on tv,now i have tried them with medium sized eggs and Just managed to fit them in the eggie unit and seal the top.i am about to boil them in a minute but have a feeling the tops are gonna pop off.so if you wish to try them,imho,they are best used with that liquid egg preperation they sell in cartons and not natural eggs,or for those who wisht to make a boiled egg entirely out of egg whites

10:28 am

yup,4 minutes into the boiling process,the tops just blew off them,so i really cannot recommend these as a good purchase

10:33 am

good afternoon, Babble friends

10:47 am

Hi sprite, crossy

10:47 am

hi bichon :)

10:49 am

hey sweetie, I think I have the solution for those eggs.

10:49 am

howdy bichon

10:49 am

Hey all, (((sprite)))

10:50 am

you know how we do that? We boil water, put the eggs in, keep them boiling for a couple of minutes and then pour cold water over them... peal and eat. Very simple. If you have a pot, you can do it.

10:50 am

sitting on top of the overturned canoe at sunrise,drining sweet hot tea and watching the sunrise burn the morning fog off the water as a loon calls hauntingly in the distance.the ripples the drops of water off your paddle make on the calm still surface of the water at dawn,the circles branching outwards as you make your first cast of the day...sigh

3:24 pm

bye, amelu!

3:25 pm

I lurk til I have NBT's usually, I play with chat covered most of the time. But today I had NBS before NBT and was at 41 words before I opened and joined chat

3:27 pm

I think it just depends on the mood I am in. I can go a LONG time sometimes trying to get NBT and NBS

3:30 pm

yeah, that's true that mood has a lot to do with it. Sometimes when I open the page I see someone I want to talk to; so I don't cover bhat

3:31 pm

I don't want Molly to take offense at my comings and goings. I always enjoy her humour and wit but it sounded like she was feeling slighted when I came in just now

3:31 pm

Oh, Man! I don't cover chat and jump right into chat (at least that's what I meant to say; don't know what I was doing when I said that nonesense)

3:31 pm

waves at Molly and throws choclits her way

3:36 pm

<---- fuming angry

3:36 pm

3:38 pm

at least American Horror Story got 16 nominations. Tied for most nominations this year with Dowtown Abbey and Hatfields & McCoys

3:39 pm

hi again all! nbs and nbt, thank you chat!!

3:39 pm

and hi cos, I don't watch much TV, but sorry you are disappointed in the nominations

3:39 pm

sorry, cos. I can't help you. I know nothing of which you speak (not "in" to any of those shows) :-(

3:39 pm

*steps off soap box* HI EVERYONE! :)

3:40 pm

i knew once upon a tiime would be snubbed.. but ii was secretly hoping lol

3:40 pm

3:45 pm

*packs BIG floppy hat, 80,000 proof sunscreen, RAINBOW parasol and EXTRA water bottles for cos*

3:45 pm

not fun at all, cos. I only wish my dtr. would have shown me her shoulders and back the day or so after the parade; I would have made her go to the doctor.

3:45 pm

ill be volunteering at the Pride booth. We're giving away free ice cold waters

3:45 pm

great survival bag for him, stid! :-)

3:45 pm

yeah she shld have seen a dr. i hope shes ok?

3:46 pm

lol tyvm stid! :)

3:46 pm

Not sure about the floppy hat Cos. Doesn't seem your style. : D

3:47 pm

evening all - I am stuck on this grid tonight

3:47 pm

(((cos))) I hope you'll have a great time. Haven't been to a parade in years but really have enjoyed them in the past.

3:47 pm

my dad wears floppy hats. it is so embarassing

3:47 pm

hey kazzer -- I am stuck, too -- no M is poppiing into my head

3:47 pm

thankks stid.. the parades are always a hoot.

3:48 pm

She didn't even call me about getting burnt. For some reason she was on a "I don't need to talk to Mom or Dad" thingat that point; so she will have a reminder that she should take care of herself now

3:48 pm

it could be described as the latin plural of one who speaks with dead

3:48 pm

Kids! *exasperated eye-rolling mama look*

3:48 pm

hm... thanks kazzer *thinking*

3:49 pm

that M is like a dble "one finger" salute, stid

3:49 pm

I am stuck on the ly 7/53 , ly 6/30, py 7/64 and py 6/42

3:49 pm

that's sort of the definition

3:49 pm

oops typing the dark is a bad idea - 9/52

3:50 pm

ly7 is an adverb form of not telling the truth.

3:50 pm

forget this its 7/52

3:50 pm

not seeing any of the ga words

3:50 pm

ly6/30 is plural of not telling the truth.

3:50 pm

ly 6/30 is not telling the truth; the ly 7 is

3:50 pm

groups of youths

3:50 pm

py6/42 is a weird spelling of fairies.

3:51 pm

And adverb form of what Kazz clued.

3:51 pm

cos -- drug cartel in miniature, or a group of thugs: ga 4/8

3:51 pm

thans never seen the ly7 before

3:51 pm

thanks stid got all 3 gas now :)

3:51 pm

It's that kind of grid, Cos. If you have never seen it before, it's in there.

3:52 pm

Funniest post of the day...when Judi left, she said PYXUEF!!

3:52 pm

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

I need more the M please -- second letter and count?

3:53 pm

me5/14

3:53 pm

me 5/14

3:54 pm

it sounds like a doctor but has 2 vowels at theend instead

3:54 pm

gah. *facepalm* ACK! thanks kazzer and molly

3:54 pm

and thanks also bugs. *sigh* *eating fishes*

3:54 pm

That's not exactly a "fish" word.

3:55 pm

that wasn't a fish to me!

3:55 pm

LOL Chipotle released a statement regarding the chik a fila controversy

3:55 pm

the py7/64 has the same 1st 4 letters as the py 5&6; sounds like a chemical ending

3:55 pm

not unless you have played this long and seen this babblet over and over and over... *sigh*

3:55 pm

10 left and blind so better go water seal the back steps for a while

3:55 pm

I even tried the first FOUR letters several times and never finished it up properly. *sigh*

3:55 pm

"What goes in your butthole is your business. All we care about is Chipotle is what comes out of it"

3:55 pm

halppy babbling all

3:55 pm

phew - fireworks that last py was weird

3:56 pm

4:06 pm

Yes, I immediately realized the age problem with the Mayberry clue. : D

4:06 pm

Although my kids are close in age to you and watched the reruns as youngsters.

4:07 pm

Hello everybody :-)

4:07 pm

4:08 pm

Oh hell, probably very little was captioned. That sucks.

4:10 pm

Molly - crack open a bottle of Tullamore Dew instead!!

4:14 pm

Happy 90th birthday to George McGovern!

4:15 pm

Cos does love his Democrats. : D

4:15 pm

4:15 pm

4:16 pm

4:17 pm

I had a feeling that would erupt somewhere along the line today. And yes, I have a blue dress. It's devilish.

4:18 pm

have you ever danced with the devil in a blue dress under the full moon?

4:19 pm

I'm not at liberty to say Cos. : P

4:19 pm

4:21 pm

I think we lost Soodle. We don't seem to be able to hold her attention very long.

4:22 pm

4:28 pm

4:28 pm

Cos, I can't wait for Season 2 of Once Upon A Time.

4:32 pm

Hi uu., ruby, soodle, mama.

4:32 pm

4:32 pm

Delighting in Ruby's short-armed hug :-)

4:33 pm

Soodle has been AWOL.

4:33 pm

does anybody watch the United States of Tara? I've just discovered it and it is fun and strange, but well-written.

4:33 pm

The octopi are enjoying our problem.

4:33 pm

that's why I'm up so late

4:34 pm

I like the idea of having multiple personalities to blame for one's peccadillos!

4:34 pm

AWOL - as in Away With Old Ladies!!! (I just spent a week in the company of my mother and her sisters...)

4:34 pm

nice to have a show that really speaks to us!

4:34 pm

I am down to 14 and need a nap, too.

4:34 pm

oh oh soodles -- not fun?

4:34 pm

55 and still alive--that is words to find.

4:34 pm

sounds like fun, soodle!

4:35 pm

It was trying!!!

4:35 pm

your mother AND her sisters! I think you need to come to France!

4:35 pm

list is making it go pretty quickly

4:35 pm

pyxel

4:35 pm

uh oh

4:35 pm

The United States Of Tara is a great show.

4:35 pm

you're on the right track, but not in the PB yet ruby

4:36 pm

tried that, ruby, there are several pyx words but that isn't one of them

4:36 pm

Wait, wait, away with old ladies sounds like fun?

4:36 pm

I think they are just now showing the second season, didn't show the first one

4:36 pm

I never heard of the United States of Tara.......I must Google it.

4:36 pm

US of Tara has been cancelled

4:36 pm

sorry, I guess I should turn on the light

4:36 pm

how many seasons were there, cos?

4:37 pm

maybe it's because my mom and sister are both gone, mollyl, but it does sound like fun to me

4:37 pm

they showed 2 seqsons of Deadwood and never showed the 3rd!

4:37 pm

lemme check one sec

4:37 pm

ruby, what are you doing up so late?

4:37 pm

I miss my mother, too and she's been gone a long time

4:37 pm

down to 10, time for a little nap... back later. ((((SOODLES/RUBY)))) miss you ladies! See the rest of you again soon! *poof*

4:37 pm

3 seasons

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

ty cos

4:38 pm

(((Bich)))

4:38 pm

Hey Bich :-)

4:38 pm

my father's been gone less long, but it's my mother I miss -- almost every day

4:38 pm

bye, stid!

4:38 pm

{{bichon}}

4:39 pm

and hi bichon!

4:39 pm

My Dad and I were very close

4:39 pm

hi all

4:39 pm

How are all you State-siders coping with the heat? We are seeing it on the news here......

4:40 pm

it is beastly, soodle

4:40 pm

<---Wilting

4:40 pm

is your weather good, soodle? It's perfect here.....

4:41 pm

after a totally rainy, cold and miserable spring

4:41 pm

much nicer today after the storm

4:41 pm

Here in the northwest it is about 70 degrees farenheit and shirt sleeve weather. Really lovely.

4:41 pm

I have to go to bed, but it was lovely to have this little late-night foray. Makes me feel wicked lol

4:41 pm

<---Thinks the away with old ladies thing is a cover-up for a more salacious rendezvous.

4:42 pm

you think? salacious soodle has a nice ring to it

4:42 pm

night ruby!

4:42 pm

{{sue}}

4:42 pm

Oh Molly! I am not a kiss and tell sorta gal! Ruby - an email will be written tomorrow. On my honour!! Nite ((()))

4:43 pm

and you need a lengthy update, soodle

4:43 pm

Bon soir ruby

4:43 pm

bisous, bichon

4:44 pm

can you imagine being a "kiss and teller" in here -- the news would be around the world in 3 hours!

4:44 pm

<---Knew it

4:44 pm

swami molly!

4:44 pm

And I also will bid you all a good night, and go to bed dreaming of what Salacious Soodle might get up to. (Who needs 50 shades of grey?)

4:44 pm

Good Night, ruby. sleep well. 25 left. I guess it's time to list.

4:45 pm

Oh God, not me. What a horn dog book series.

4:45 pm

niters, Soodle. Sleep well with salacious dreams.. ;-)

4:45 pm

de 5, pls

4:45 pm

Good Night Salacious.

4:45 pm

my sister says it's no good, but I'll bet she read it anyway

4:45 pm

nm

4:46 pm

like the de4/12, bichon, with an ending that sounds the same but is spelled differently

4:46 pm

From the excerpts I've seen Ruby, it's very poorly written. Even the sex stuff. No clue why it appeals to anyone.

4:46 pm

fireworks! Lots of pretty strange words in this one.

4:47 pm

they should stick with "classic" porn, at least it was well-written (so I've heard lol)

4:48 pm

one of my sisters brought the 1st book on vacation back in April (when we all went together). No one read even half way in it; it was boring!

4:48 pm

YAY, sue!!! WTG!!!

4:49 pm

BRB, dog barking too much

4:49 pm

my sister sent me a disgusting article from the NYPost how all the young matrons are re-vitalizing their marriages - yuch

4:50 pm

I thought I cold hear distant barking. Woof back!

4:50 pm

could*

4:51 pm

pyle

4:52 pm

good night everybody, lovely to see you, peccadillos and all

4:52 pm

A lot of women think it makes them look "cool" if they read sex books. Too bad they can't at least read the good ones.

4:52 pm

Good night Ruby, sleep well.

4:53 pm

we could make them a required reading list, starting with the Marquis and continuing through the centuries

4:54 pm

*poof*

4:56 pm

back. Having a small old dog who thinks he's a guard dog can be annoying at times. He's given a neighbor a migraine once and I try to listen for barking when he's outside.

4:59 pm

That is good of you Nef. I have neighbors who let their yippy dogs out and they bark for hours.

5:00 pm

with the A/C on, it's hard to hear him when he's out front. SO I really try to prevent that behavior as much as I can

5:01 pm

I don't let my dogs stay out. Don't have fence, invisible or otherwise. Too much mischief, barking, digging a den in my flowers

5:03 pm

I let him stay out in the fenced yard if he behaves. He likes the outside; he'll stretch out on the cool brick patio on hot days (it's on the east side of the house)

5:04 pm

My fluffs are too reactive to what's going on outside the yard. And, there are coyotes

5:04 pm

Our previous dog used to go around and eat berries off the bushes (strawberries, raspberries, and even the grapes! -yeah I know they shouldn't have them)

5:05 pm

this dog doesn't do that. But he did take off after a raccoon one night! What a noise!

5:13 pm

ok, I am going to go put my feet up. See you all later!

5:13 pm

bye, sue Take care of yourself.

5:20 pm

14 left and I can't see anything left now. BBL after a break.

hello all. I just dropped my dog at the vet, which was as usual an adventure.

5:25 pm

hi Red. He gives them a hard time? anything seriously wrong with him?

5:25 pm

Hi red. What happened?

he is fine, gets wound up...I am going to Vancouver tomorrow, so he had to stay somewhere...

I am a little stressed as this trip is just at the wrong time...

5:28 pm

it's work rather than holiday?

5:28 pm

which Vancouver Red? Canada perhaps?

5:28 pm

Safe travels, Red.

Washngton It is a Holiday but...I leave Fiday evening, and arrive back at 5 am on Monday and have a big meeting on Monday..

I do not think I am allowed to enter Canada at the moment, my passport kind of expired.

5:32 pm

2 days of not thinking about work will do you good

5:32 pm

so close and yet so far! Are you planning to saee a Babbler or two?

No plans to . Lynxxx, I am SURE i will still be thinking about work.

5:32 pm

yes 9/11 messed up a lot of stuff for regular people who are friends accross borders

5:33 pm

travlelling mercies. I am on hold sorting out bills so must go

Well, i should have renewed...

6:40 pm

Done. Good Luck and Happy Babbling. I needed Lickety for the last 20; so I'm not in the Smarty Pants Club. :-/

6:41 pm

Me either Nef, but no worries about that.

6:41 pm

Anyone need clues? (Or are you all gone?)

6:42 pm

*Checks to see if I'm invisible tonight*

6:42 pm

I see you, Molls. I replied to you too! :-)

6:42 pm

Don't need clues, have a nice night Nef.

6:42 pm

I figure you must be done by now also.

6:46 pm

You have a good night also. I'm planning a trip to Home Depot tonight. Need a tube for my A/C drain (or whatever it is) on my furnace; it cracked today and I doubt that duct tape won't hold very long. I'm also picking up some peel and stick tile for my basement bathroom; it is starting to look tired down there.

6:46 pm

Nef, you really are the energizer bunny. Full speed ahead!

6:46 pm

bye! <poof>

8:09 pm

Hope some big grids get put up soon. Or people are going to forget about this place.

8:10 pm

Whatever happened to The Classics I thru III?

8:11 pm

It's getting like Iron Sudoku - People pop in, announce they've finished the puzzle, and pop out ..

8:12 pm

I know what you mean. It's kind of "Hi, done, bye"

8:14 pm

Or "Gimme clues for my last five words, Done, Bye."

8:16 pm

Yes, there is that. : )

8:42 pm

any clues for the ey5?

8:57 pm

Hey Lickety, good to see you.

8:57 pm

how are you.

8:57 pm

Well done Lanessa.

Im actually really good. Even though I've been battling a chest infection for about 2 weeks, I'm really happy.

8:58 pm

thank you head hurts lol

8:58 pm

Happy is good. Glad you're feeling better.

I just checked that my clues are still going strong, that's good - I know it can be helpful at times.

8:58 pm

oh, that's good to hear.

8:59 pm

Your clue list is the best Lickety. Thank you so much for that.

8:59 pm

it is indispensable to so many people.

9:00 pm

I agree! Thanks lickety!

9:01 pm

boil garlic, take it off of the stove, put a towel over your head and breath in the vapor. it may cure your chest infection.

Still new people joining the grid?

9:01 pm

now and again.

Mab - I actually steamed my head with Vix vapourrub last night

9:02 pm

ah.

It helped - thanks for the suggestion.

9:02 pm

and you don't smell garlicky.

9:03 pm

Vicks it my go to when I have a chest cold.

9:03 pm

*is my go to

9:04 pm

my doctor, an actual m.d., prescribed the garlic.

mab - I've also been taking garlic, horseradish and vitamin c tablets

And a week of antibiotics. It's been the worst chest cold I've ever had.

9:05 pm

wow. sounds like you've got all avenues covered.

Now it's just lingering on - still coughing up flem, irrating as heck at night.

My body was fighting it so hard, I would wake up at 3am with pain in my neck glands.

9:08 pm

oh my.

Sorry everyone - geez I sound like a whining sicko. It's a gorgeous beautiful sunny day here in Sydney, the sky is so blue, a slight breeze. I'm working away and have a friend visiting me at lunch time.

9:10 pm

Sounds like good stuff Lickety. Glad to see you in good spirits.

10:49 pm

and hi again all!

10:50 pm

ah i do not, thanks sue.

10:51 pm

lots of weird words in this one (I know we always say that but some days it is more true than others)

10:53 pm

does the py7 build off of the py5?

10:56 pm

sort of; it has extra letters in the middle

10:56 pm

a bit of identification, if that isn't too subtle a clue

10:56 pm

not at all, got it right off

11:01 pm

hi all

11:01 pm

11:32 pm

Yay jes!

11:33 pm

could someone get me started on the low g?

11:33 pm

yay jes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:33 pm

several words starting there end on the upper g, jane

11:34 pm

(well, two anyway, and they have plurals)

11:34 pm

(three_

11:34 pm

go 4 is the old talent show the go** show; then plural

11:35 pm

then a group of young thugs ga** and the plural

11:35 pm

and a go + three-letter verbish end, and plural that also

11:36 pm

and the gerund go***, go***, gone (and its plural as well)

11:36 pm

oh, and a ga 6 between the thug words meaning lanky...

11:36 pm

ok , that gives me 6 of the 7!

11:36 pm

hey all. *grin*

11:36 pm

thanks, got em all

11:37 pm

go jane go!

11:38 pm

it's thundery here (again) and I really don't want it to rain... but mostly I just want the thunder to go away.

11:40 pm

I wish I could send the rain to you, sue.

11:41 pm

hello everyone :)

11:41 pm

have you had any summer yet, stid?

11:42 pm

we got about an inch or so of rain yesterday (all at once, of course, but it helped)

11:42 pm

and I am off to bed, see you all tomorrow!

11:43 pm

bye sue

11:43 pm

your icon looks like a boob in that small pic, stid

11:43 pm

sweet dreams sue, and glad you got some rain!

11:43 pm

A little, nan -- not enough to suit me, though.

11:44 pm

The plums are almost ripe. But we haven't had enough sustained sun for them to get sweet.

11:44 pm

or an upside-down uvula, kje. But it's books...

11:44 pm

we've just had a week of 90+ weather - hot, sunny and not a breath of air. Thunder storms in the forecast though

11:44 pm

ha! well, there ya go

11:45 pm

Good news -- deck stairs and railings are painted -- just the lower deck floor and we're done!

11:45 pm

I don't know which is worse, to be honest, nan -- the weeds grow so fast with the rain and the regular plants grow slower. But with too hot everything crisps up and that's awful, too.

11:45 pm

(I think it's books made to look like a boob)

11:45 pm

marvelous, nan! so when are you going to move? Are you coming south permanently?

11:45 pm

hm. kje, you have boobs on the brain...

11:46 pm

heat, heat is worse, take my word on that (hot here)

11:46 pm

no -- we haven't put our house on the market yet -- then we have to sell...

11:46 pm

well, for us, it was a rather long winter, and not much of a summer last year either. I have two years where fruit production has been pretty slow and minimal.

11:46 pm

we wouldn't leave Canada -- like all our "socialist" perks too much!

11:47 pm

what fruit do you have, stid?

11:47 pm

im a fruit :)

11:47 pm

blueberries, plums, apples, asian and european pears, blackberries (native as well as himalaya), strawberries, currants, gooseberries.

11:48 pm

Used to have raspberries, but they were crushed by falling trees. Need to replant this fall.

11:48 pm

wow!!! that is great

11:48 pm

hoping you are getting a harvest!

11:48 pm

cos, you're a RAINBOW fruit! (tutti-frutti)

11:49 pm

not much, kje -- too gray and cold to sweeten and grow. In the week and a half that we did have sun all my strawberries were ripe within about four days though.

11:49 pm

usually I have harvested the plum already by now.

11:49 pm

but it's at least three days away if we get full sun. Which we won't for a few days.

11:50 pm

lol :)

11:50 pm

hmmmm... opposite when I was visiting MI recently - all theirs are peaking early

11:51 pm

yes, early and small, probably

11:51 pm

yes, but those small strawberries were the tastiest berries ever! like all of it was super concentrated in this smaller package

11:51 pm

when do you move to our side of the world, kje?

11:56 pm

oh, that was a BIG thunderclap

11:56 pm

anyone need a few more clues before flip?

11:59 pm

that was me trying to get your attention, stiddy.did it work? * waves *
