gnight dee
nbt
hey jilli, late flip for me. how are you, hun?
I'm fine, granny -- more to the point, how are YOU?
:( not so good, my friend. think islept in a strange position last night...today my knee feels like hell. * shrug * what can i do? just try to grin and bear it, i guess
ups and downs, eh granny?
* rueful smile* yup, guess that's what you call it...but definitely having more ups than downs.
that's the spirit :-)
thanx jilli, you are so good for me.
just keep piling up the ups
have just given and taken some oxycodone, my first since 9:30pm last night, that makes it 19 hours. is that an up, do you think?
definitely an up
i try to stay positive, especially here in the chog...but some days i just wanna scream " UNFAIR " at the world
would you be so kind as to let me know when i am going overboard? just say something like...settle petal or suck it up, princess. i will understand.
oh absolutely -- screaming is good -- gets rid of rage when you feel silly afterwards
oh, those are cute -- must remember "settle petal", lol!
* grin * and i am actually smiling.
rose, you generally have a very positive attitude - and help others with a boost when they need it, I think you need to give yourself a break
ah, flosey, you are still here. how lovely to see you. and thank-you for those kind words
I was once told to scream into a pillow
i was once told to stop screaming......by the in-charge sister of a labor ward.
oh oh, in-charge sister wasn't the one in labour
at the time i was in second stage labour AND renal colic. i told her to f****** get on the table and have this baby.
LOLOL, GOOD FOR YOU
lol, and i remember my obstetrician yelling at her to get the hell out of his delivery room.
when I had my sons, here in BC, they didn't let us nurse until the colostrum was removed - boobs were like bricks
hmmmm, memories.....and what this pain is nothing compared to that. thanx gals....i am now very thankful for this little pain.
WHAT?????? but that was the best part for the baby!!!!!
lol, then they wondered why poor babe couldn't latch onto the brick
poor little thing probably kept falling off.
I couldn't nurse. No nipples [shame]
funny now, looking back, but when the nurse grabbed my brick and tried to push it into babes mouth, ouch
looked down upon for bottle-feeding
and yes rose, they have since learned that it was good for the babies, guess they smartened up before the girls came along
oh, jilli. is that really true? but it's no shame! you can't help how your body if formed.
amazing how much things have changed over the years
after what Sandra went through, her milk was slow coming in, so they had to supplement, but they managed well, I stayed with her for a few weeks
I know, but there's so much talk about the virtues of nursing -- sisters-in-law didn't know my anatomy (too embarrassed to tell) and scorned.
morning ladies ,i see the topic for today is breast feeding,as a child of the 40s i was breast fed and i have carried on being breast fed. lol !!!
hi ron
oh, ron, naughty you! :)
oh dear -- didn't expect a male entry [even more embarrassed]
lol
but jilli, you look so good in RED
I wish I hadn't fessed up
LOL granny (thanks)
happens jilli,
would you like me to balance the scales a tad, and describe last night's activities after the lights were out?
jili always expect a male entry theyt are the "real thing"!
let's talk about football or something
acckkkk!football?
oy yoy -- is ron a ruru clone?
you ladies carry on and i will sit this one out,as it can be a sore subject...
No no, ron -- stick around!
crosse fingers, eyes and legs, and hopes ron AND ruru AND my Don are NEVER in the same room.
very wise, granny
especially the legs
*exasperated look * just what sort of word is ta5/18? for goodness sake!
guessed what it was, granny -- thanks, and I agree!
granny you can`t change the subject that easily
hey ron! not been to australasia yet? how can you be so unco?
oh yes i can, ron, i'm female. ;P
that ta 5 is "a mountain-dwelling bovid, Budorcas taxicolor, native to the eastern Himalayas, China, and northern Burma, that resembles a cross between a goat and a musk ox." Who'd a thunk it?
hey guys! Thought you might like this saying I found on the net. If life gives you lemons, you should open a lemonade stand. Then, use the profits to buy an assault rifle, and wait and see if life tries that again.
get yourself and the good lady wife over here. i'll show you two how to live. * hopes some of ron's wanderlust rubs off onto Don*
ROFL uncover!
LOL, uncover
and jilli, thanx for that info, really made my day....not.
hehe
I'm off to bed, very tired tonight. May be going to Victoria tomorrow.
goodnight all
hey gals, i think we have found us a couple of great additions to the chog...what do you think? might keep the ruru on his toes...* snigger *
that could be interesting rose
night, flosey. and thanx for lifting my spirits. sleep well, hun
ty rose, think I might even be asleep before hitting the pillow
* catches flosey and lays her gently down * see you at the flip, sweetheart
ra7 = a sweet liqueur made from wine or grape juice combined with brandy or other spirits and often flavored with almonds, fruit, or fruit kernels. Thought you might want to know.
please could someone clue the 8
gnight flosey -- congrats at doing well at bridge
although that's nothing unusual.
sorry, jenny, no can do -- no have got
jenny, gerund end on sound which frog makes
Thanks for the R7...I was stuck
tyvm granny -- nbs and over halfway

Not seeing the fr 5/18 - any clues please

fr5 - cooked in a particular way
Happy babbling - bye!
Sorry - had that, it was the fr 4/7 - brain not in working order today
gran - shortened name of fun place to live on campus
Good morning all... you know there is trouble in Babble land when you see a gerund ending and notice there are only 101 words...
K killed
oh, you and that K, I've been slaving here trying to get it, and still only have 2, lol!
lol... hiya rbud! I trained myself to do the K first and only then go to other words... it is the only way for me. I get so K-word blind in Babble!
I know you don't like K's, so you probably now know more K words than most of us as a result, haha!
roflol! I seriously doubt it. I think I am so clear about my own stupidness with Ks that I try each and every combination, however weird. That is how I found the ka5 today.
aha, that's one more for me, ty! I also have ki4 x 2 so far.
that is the only 5 among them, the rest is 4. You need one more ka, and a ko.
ooh, a ko 4 now
yay only one to go!
got it! thanks! :D
yvw! Now for undulated babble fun :D
undulated? Undilated? Indulated? Jeezzz. No idea.
undiluted, maybe?
that is it! *shamefaced* Undiluted Babble fun.
though I like undulated, that should mean wiggly, lol
or twisty
oh that is what I am mixing up then! Thank you! Yeah, undulated is curvacious and meandering, right? And Undiluted is concentrated, without other things making it less so.
yes, I think you're right. Very similar words, true.
with totally different meaning... I will remember now. Thank you :)
oh! the train outside is making such loud noises, I keep expecting it to derail into our side yard! we're very close to the tracks.
oh that is not nice :( A bit scary even.
they had a derailment last year pretty close to here, right outside the next town over - no injuries to anyone, but what a mess. the road next to it was blocked for over a week.
omg... that makes it more than a remote possibility. Asking a busload of protective angels to hover over your house from now on :)
oh, thanks! I kind of think they do already, we've been lucky a few times. :)
*sings* Trailers for sale or rent.... rooms to let 50 cent...old smokeys I have found... short but not to big around... I'm a... man... of means by no means.... K4 of the R4....
hehehe of course they do, they don't need me to tell them. But it is kinda nice, I always think, to ask them anyway.
haha, good song! and nearly the whole title here, you're right
I realised I was singing it and only then realised what had triggered it, grinnn
found the 8 :D
oh? what is it? I haven't listed yet, in fact still have two bt's, just been going along slowly, came in very late.
oh I also have blank tiles still, and even a blank stat. I just play random (except for the Ks). It is Cr8/75. I can clue if you want to.
is it strange? it certainly didn't jump out at me, lol - maybe I do need a clue.
no it is a normal word. It uses the beautiful ending. And it means to die, disrespectfully put.
ooohhhh! there it is, thanks! :D
yvw :) I don't have a single 7 yet... could you give me stats of one please? If you have it?
I don't have any either! I was just planning to comb the back chog, since you mentioned blank stats, I noticed my own, lol
*giggle* No problem, I will hunt on and try silly things then!
well, it took everyone a while, it seems. one is: at 7, clued as a sword?
I keep trying corifee. In Dutch, that is someone really famous for what they do... like an actor or singer... someone who has earned their laurels.
thank you!
and I see ra7 called a bit later.
wonderful. Thanks rbud! And now we hunt...
there is a co4 and past tense to do with hair that is sort of like that word.
thank you again :)
I see dh4 x 2, also, hmmm...
ok, so far I had one.
ah there is the other one. Thanks triply :-)
yw! monkeys failed me on a second one, had to resort to morewords.

sorry, was I out of line
good afternoon! Sorry I left without saying anything. Husband safely in hospital now, I can collect him in a few hours.
I figure that, at my age, I've eqrned my stripes!
: D you weren't out of line. I just don't know how many people were into the drug culture at a young age. : D
*hugs ruby* Hi dear! Hi Molly, MLfan and whoever may be around as well.
what's funny is that in France, they refer to it as sh**
where that comes from, I can't imagine
Oh they refer to it that way here too. As in Cheech and Chong..."that's some good sh**, man"

and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!
Invented in the 1940s in Tennessee, Mountain Dew was meant to be mixed with whisky. In fact, its bottles were designed to look like moonshine, and the original Mountain Dew labels featured outhouses, stills, and hay-chewing yokels.

I have to pull up the list. I am driving myself nuts!
don't worry about amelu it is only a category 1 hurricane. . . i think the fact it is near the anniversary of katrina is making people more worried than need be
Everything just floods so fast.
well most older places are built to deal with flooding. . .the house i grew up in was 2 fe** off the ground and my grandmother's house was 4 fe** off the ground. . . its the newer stuff on slab that has problems.

FIREWORKS!!! Thank goodness there was a list!
i am being strongarmed by my insurance who by opm reg cannot withhold premiums until my check in finalized. thugs.
whoo hooo car!
hang tough TO!
there are so many regs, if it were anyone but govt you would call it a cam i still do.
YAY CAR! YOU GO GIRL!
scam, even. i think i may have to cave and just py the premiums until the end of the year in full.
almost all insurance is a scam. . . and yet so necessary
long term care certainly so in my case.
but it is opm etc running the scam. keeping my money as long as possible hoping i either die or getting interest until they have to say uncle. they say will take up to 20 weeks!
That is horrible TO.
sorry all.
I think opm must stand for Oh! Poor Man!
LOL. no, it is just bureaucracy, all large entities have it.
TO...I absolutely LOVE the Chinese tale in your profile!!!!!
Well, I guess if I am done and no one needs clues, I should probably get my work done, eh?
ty car. my lst 7 words are hiding well.
any clues for the top n please?
do you think this is the origin of the word "crackpot"?
na 4/5 = nothing, ni4/7 = close by

Hello Everybody. I hope you are all having a great day today.
hi nef. hi all.
this is challenging.
very true, Harry. I'm having computer "issues" and haven't been able to get in the past few days, then had to try 3 different browsers to get Babble to work today.
oof. too bad - yesterday's grid was much more comfortable
I didn't get a chance to even see it; I thought this would be a nice one today, but it's not as easy as I'd hoped
I'm still missing 3 tiles.
I only have 14 words so far; lots of empty tiles and stats so far. Sorry.
And I seem to be tending to making up words (according to Enable) since it keeps telling me the ones I enter aren't words
(It appears that I also need lessons in grammar today)
Ooops! Gotta go!
gi6 biloba are very common trees here, especially in the city.
ty seain
ooh good word dcsain
anyone have a clue for the top i or the second row o?
an4/6 is what Teddy Kennedy felt when he was ticked off.
top i is a form of textile art...think i + animal that meows
ends in a feline
ty for that pinecone
is there an at7
if so clue please
have no sevens
did get the 8 though :)
there is an ra7
at + vowel and ends like knitted or crocheted blanket

all's well with you?
i'm hanging in there. hoping the car lasts a few more months while i save up to buy a slightly younger car
ah, yes, i'm nearing that point with my vehicle myself.
my car just celebrated its duodecennial
cool! you've obviously kept up on maintenance
nope, bought it when it was already 16yo
Annie, what a special event to get to attend. And for a great cause.
:) so you've gotten lucky with quality then.

Hi BR
Hello, hego
easy, but I feel like I'm making most of the words up.

Your strategy is working?
very well, actually
A real tactician you are
if it fits, try it.
I try to remember to start b words with a b
excellent strategy also.
and a good start I would say.

I could use the ca6/24.,please?
ty!!
yw
somebody clued it earlier as the past tense of dental decay, Gramma
whent you have more than one cavity in your teeth
oh, it was Grannyrose, I think, so credit to her!
hmm...thinking about that one...
70
Or, past tense of classic Stephen King horror, without the double consonant in the middle
also a women's name
started 70's movie of the SK book, she burns down the school at the prom....
You're gonna give away the ending, Jilly ;)
LOL...Andrew... should have posted "Spoiler Alert"....
To be honest, I think you could probably guess that much from the cover! Anyway, I am quitting and heading off to bed...good night! :0
I think it's safe to say that the end of that story is fairly well known by now.
Niters Andrew!!
Good night and good luck :) and hi and bye, Molly - I've benefited a lot from the various clues you've left in the chat today!
Yep Molly, I would assume most people have seen it...terrified me when it first came out...pretty tame compared to today's genre
OK, 40 left...break time BBS *poof*
The only movie that I think is still scary as hell, even by today's standards, is The Exorcist.
Oh, I can't leave if you're going to talk about scary movies! I love them. What do you think you find so scary about it, Molly?
hey all.. been lurking and i'm finished.. anyone need clues before i leave?
also, thanks to all who gave great clues today :-)
That's nice of you, lbuxx, but I'm okay, thanks!
andrew- have you seen any good scary movies lately?
I've been scouting around - I think I've gotten a bit desensitised, though! I don't find things so 'scary' anymore. How about you?
yep.. pretty much where i'm at too.. the trailer for The Possession looks pretty scary though.. lol
oh hey.. its time for me to run.. see ya laters babblers
Oh yeah, that one looks pretty jumpy!
Oh, take care :)
Okay, bored, so came back to finish...
hello jilly hello all
*Puts on tap shoes to keep Jilly entertained*
Hello westford...and Molly, just your presence is entertaining!!
so pretty today
poured like a sonofagun last night
We are getting to that brief time of year when the weather is beautiful, then turns ugly.
I know
I am not ready for winter, or the holidays. I would like to skip both.
ha I was just thinking the same thing
We had a BIG windstorm last night....need more rain to clear out the smoke...AND hope the lightening didn't start any new fires...
can't imagine those fires jilly
me too, Molly, I love the summer
hi peri
GEtting to be every summer now...nothing near us, but we are in a LA type valley and everything comes over the mountains and stays with us...
hi west, hi all
da
do finish peri... ;)
molly was that MD school shooting anywhere near you?
saw it on national news last night..never mentioned where
Missed that one too...
one kid shot another teachers tackled shooter..first day of school
first day was so exciting..new beginning
5 k's and I just noticed
No, it's near where I used to live though. Very sad and scary stuff.
Breaking in for good news.....!!FW!!
Our biggest disciplinary problem was boys being sent home for wearing jeans
that is good news ...Yay Jilli
Just looked on my news feed...didn't see it...
Do a search on "student shot first day of school"
today on Word Warp my first word was Babble
It disturbs me that a 15-year-old knows how to get a disassembled gun into school, assemble it, and shoot someone.
yes
Just read it on NBC...looks like the dad was a gun 'nut'...had a sign on front that showed a gun with the words "We don't call 911"...seems pretty evident...
What disturbs me more is that a kid that age harbors so much hate that he would want to shoot someone.
And now a 16 and 18 yr old charged with murdering a 5 year old in Niagara NY
oh jilly
bbs
Well, bullying is claimed by Dad in the MA shootings, can be a real thing but may be used as an excuse
I don't know. People act like bullying is something new. It's been going on for decades.
Phone call...bbl *poof*
kids taking their own lives and the lives of others takes it up a few notches
It does indeed West. In other news, I wonder how Amelu is faring with the hurricane weather.
where is she?
She's in Louisiana.
oh no..corps of engineers are saying they did a good job..hope so
I hope so too.
