1:35 am

yes, i wandered through a few on the way to the big one. :)

1:37 am

ty ty ty for your patience grannyrose, finally got it

1:37 am

been hard at it sewing my curtains, sometimes I wish I weren't such a perfectionist when it comes to sewing

1:38 am

well done, flosey, thick he4 and all.

1:38 am

whew, that was a doozie

1:38 am

oh, rbud, still at them, dear?

1:39 am

yep, lots of pressing and hemming and such, and lots of breaks, lol - life must go on

1:39 am

well DH and i have had a lovely day. lunch at a nearby cafe which serves delicious food and the best iced coffee.

1:40 am

lovely rose

1:40 am

th4 we meandered through the hills, driving along roads we have never travelled on, seen things/places we have never seen.

1:40 am

sounds delightful! I think hubs and I are overdue for a meal out, we try to do it at least once a month.

1:41 am

even called in at a camp DH used to visit with his church youth group. allowed him to reminisce about his younger days. was great.

1:42 am

i try to do this at least once a fortnight with him. it breaks him out of the rut of 24/7 care for mother mac, and lately, me.

1:44 am

so, rbud. just how many rooms are you refurbishing with new curtains?

1:46 am

ok, bedtime, head is shutting down, goodnight rose and rbud

1:47 am

nite flos

1:47 am

63 to go

1:47 am

goodnight dart

1:47 am

night, flosey. sleep well, hun. hope you have a lovely day tomorrow

1:47 am

ty rose

2:04 am

sorry, wandered off to the kitchen - just the new bedroom is all I'm working on, but I'm slow... my shoulder's been really bothering me, which seems aggravated by sewing and sitting at the computer, too, darnit.

2:05 am

I interfaced the curtains, and lined them, and now it's hemming time - which I have to do by hand.

2:05 am

oops, by ha4, I mean, lol

2:06 am

3 windows, 3 sets of curtains

2:09 am

good grief, rbud, that's an awful lot of curtains. but i bet your home will look fantastic by the time you have finished.

2:10 am

well, have one window done and hanging, they look great so far, which is encouraging.

2:12 am

got risers for the bed (those funny things that go under it to make it taller?) so now I also have to lengthen the bedskirt - but that should be a breeze after all the rest of this, lol

2:12 am

i'm gonna cheat this time when it comes to new curtains. lol, DH cannot understand why i want top of window to floor curtains. he sees it as a waste of effort. i see it as elegant, and makes the room appear larger.

2:13 am

I like that look myself.

2:33 am

good morning kiddoes :)

2:34 am

{{spritey}}} where you bin, hun? missed you.

2:34 am

3:19 am

3:20 am

A bear taking a dump asked a rabbit "Does shit stick to your fur as a habit?" "Of course not," said the hare, "It's really quite rare!" So the bear wiped his ass with the rabbit.

3:21 am

oh poop, crossy

3:21 am

:)

3:21 am

the first and last lines have to have different endings....

3:21 am

there was a young fellow named crossy

3:21 am

now that was sordid!

3:21 am

who tended, at times, to be bossy

3:21 am

i know,that one was not quite right

3:22 am

lol, crossy. have heard it before but it still makes me giggle.

3:22 am

while crossing the sea, between you and me, the ocean made his tummy quite tossy

3:22 am

ok,this one is a tad cleaner and correct.will make up for last one...

3:23 am

To his friend, Ned said, rather blue, "My wife Edith just told me we're through, For she says I'm too fat." And his friend told him that, "You can't have your cake and Edith, too."

3:23 am

good one again, ruby :D

3:23 am

good one ruby:)

3:23 am

ruby, i think you have finally found your calling. LOL

3:24 am

ruby is on a roll!

3:24 am

3:24 am

oh fun one, crossy!

3:24 am

lol, crossy

3:24 am

3:24 am

3:24 am

A lovely young woman named Rose

3:24 am

Had problems in touching her toes

3:25 am

The doc changed her knew, and it seems now to me, she strews flowers wherever she goes

3:25 am

knee**

3:27 am

very nice! Change flowers in roses and you have made it into a circle!

3:27 am

ROFL, ruby!!! you rock!

3:27 am

that was my first thought, but it was too easy

3:28 am

I know lots of limericks but all in dutch :(

3:28 am

a much older fellow named Burt

3:28 am

uh-oh, here it comes...

3:28 am

had words that came out in a blurt

3:29 am

holding breath....

3:29 am

when trying to slow down, his daughter would frown, and would end up with being quite hurt

3:29 am

here is a very interesting one(not mine) that shows great creativity....

3:30 am

There's a place in Cape Cod, Massachusetts Where the women have not one but two sets Of boobs, but no cracks To accomp'ny those racks, So the men have perpetual blue sets.

3:30 am

awww :(

3:30 am

awww, poor daughter.

3:30 am

3:30 am

CROSSY!!!! but i love it!!

3:32 am

3:32 am

good job sarah, and hello

3:32 am

Just one from me: Archimedes, the well known truth-seeker, Jumping out of his bath, cried, "Eureka!" He ran half a mile, Wearing only a smile, And became the very first streaker

3:36 am

Have had a bad cough made worse by my asthma but is slowly getting better

3:36 am

dh is back with groceries s

3:37 am

see you later

3:37 am

ahh! asthma such a curse...hang in there sweetie, and get better.

3:37 am

ah good. Tell him hi from me, please? And a big hug.

3:37 am

mats

3:37 am

after flip ruby.

3:37 am

sorry

3:38 am

bad time for asthma here,everything is shedding,pollinating or going to seed.take me 3 hours to clear it all in the morning

3:38 am

np's CL. we all do it, at one time or another

3:39 am

yuck, crossy. can imagine. spring has started in earnest here. so DH is feeling the effects.

3:39 am

mt astma was never very bad until I had a blood clot in my lung 4 years ago left my asthma 50 times worse than it was

3:39 am

indeed.and to think i quit the smokes ten years ago to sound this good:((

3:39 am

ouch crafty lady

3:40 am

i sympathise, crossy. and CL? what rotten luck.

3:41 am

a clot in my fil lungs was the start of his health decline.when they went in to get it(along with a small tumour) he had a stroke on the operating table,then they has to go in again to fix some stitches

3:42 am

oh I like the biggies!

3:43 am

no was not a good time i went in hospital on the sunday and my mum passed away on the tuesday was just out of hospital in time to go to her funeral

3:43 am

:(((

3:44 am

oh craft, how awful :(

3:44 am

a small part of me will always blame myself if I had not got ill would she still be here

3:44 am

awww, CL. that has to be the most rotten timing i have ever heard of.

3:45 am

stupid i know

love you mum and you was not to blame xxxxx

3:45 am

no that is not stupid. That is human :( We rather blame ourselves than that we feel powerless.

3:46 am

love you as well i know i am not but there will always be this small doubt

3:47 am

not stupid, craftylady. you couldn't change the outcome, so you blame yourself. such a human response. {{{hugs}}}

3:48 am

thanks everyone don't know whats up with me today never talked so much on here and about personal things

3:48 am

i was actually there in the room as my father died....to this day i wonder what i could have changed to stop him from dying.

3:48 am

it is one of the things Babble chat is made for, craftylady. Don't worry about it. We are here to let you know we care.

3:49 am

remember the blessings.my mother passed in 91(from cancer)far from her family after an early divorce in 73 and only one was able to go to the funeral.so cherish the times you had together and remember the happy times and hold them in your heart

3:49 am

I found my dad went to his flat before work and found him lying acroos the bed

3:49 am

rose, how awful... nothing, ofcourse. But I understand the feeling.

3:50 am

staid

3:50 am

sorry again

3:50 am

i mean, i am a registered nurse, capable of handling the most critical of situations which threaten human life....and i couldn't stop my own father from dying.

3:51 am

that must have been tough, craft

3:51 am

see told you I am not use to talking

3:51 am

something I think I will never get over still have nightmares about it

3:51 am

sweet rose... because it was, alas, his time to go. Even nurses aren't omnipotent...

3:52 am

morning all. Often it is as if the person dying wants to let go, wants us to go and get on with life, they've had enough and want to go but we don't or try not to let them go.

3:52 am

craftylady, it is wonderful for you to share...and i still have dreams about my father dying.

3:52 am

I can imagine, that is stuff for nightmares. Please keep telling yourself you are absolutely blameless. In your mind you know. Convincing your feelings is hard though :(

3:53 am

keep those who have gone in your daily thoughts, try not to make shrines, and laugh for them at your own antics.

3:53 am

thanx scouser and spritey. it's still tough. accepting, i mean.

3:53 am

but I was also pleased with how I coped did not go to pieces until my sisters arrived dealt with calling 911 etc by myself

3:54 am

hi scouser, yes, that was with my grandma. We kept constant watch, she wasn't alone for a second. For days and nights, just never. And then the nurse kicked us out, told us she wanted to wash her, and my grandma died right then.

3:54 am

I have a note on my wall here: "Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused." someone on here said it many moons ago.

3:54 am

good for you, craft! Yes, that is great. You did well. And nothing you could have done would have made a difference in his dieing.

3:55 am

*hugs rose* I bet it is. Tough battle.

3:55 am

good one, scouser

3:55 am

hugs for crafty lady.

3:56 am

too

3:56 am

* group hugs * thanx all of you

3:56 am

thankyou

3:56 am

I don't know craftlady that well yet... but yes, if I am allowed: *hug* for craftlady too.

3:57 am

oh, believe me...craftylady is very huggable.

3:57 am

meanwhile, lets all have a go at this ****** grid for some self-uplift. I am floundering already with 136 left.

3:57 am

a big *hug* for you too then, craftlady!

3:57 am

thankyou sprite i dont think anyone knows me that well on here I only usely talk to my daughter and rose

3:58 am

I'm not doing to bad have 108 left nbt nbs

3:58 am

it isn't that bad, actually. You will probably find a second wind very soon.

3:59 am

well it is good to get to know you better, craft. Am happy to 'meet' more of you :)

4:00 am

and you to sprite will try to join in more

i have 112 left keep putting ones in i have now lol

4:00 am

:)

4:00 am

hey well done craftylady . Any clues for the bottom F please since it wont take modern-speak for photo

4:01 am

you are doing well sarah who is off sick today

4:01 am

scouser: think warm wind

amie had high tem and pale today :(

4:01 am

something that swimms in water

4:01 am

ah I just got the weather-type word I can't say got the wind, can I?

4:02 am

the swimmer comes off the other f

4:02 am

sorry

4:02 am

sure you can. The wind comes in two spellings.

4:02 am

no prob

4:02 am

and the last one is enemies

4:02 am

enemy

4:03 am

aha Germanic thoroughness? or is it Swiss?

4:03 am

thanks

4:03 am

the wind is swiss, I think. But the spelling is german, grin.

4:04 am

see - expanding the vocab every day!

4:04 am

I lurv this game

4:05 am

same here. I still learn a new word every day and I have been playing for years!

4:06 am

Does anyone know how we can get Enable updated? there are perfectly respectable words like "henge" that it rejects (or did the last time it was (not) in the grid.)

4:07 am

we can't, scouser. Babble simply uses a rather old version of Enable. Only drG could change that. Personally I hope he won't, though. I enjoy the old words :D

4:08 am

Oh yes I just want some stuff added, keep the previous lists too, so I am not yelling at this inanimate(?) object and shouting "it IS a word".

4:09 am

lol yes that would be great! A couple of words added... like internet, for instance.

4:13 am

Just looked at my window-sill and an orchid has opened up five great spiky purply-blotchy petals with a large white "lip" (except on one of them that is at the top so its not fussy) and a small curled over bit in the middle that from underneath looks like an insect covered in pollen. Weird.

4:15 am

scouser, imagine, my orchids are flowering too. have a lovely pink one with a burgundy throat, and a creamy one with burgundy throat, both flowering.

4:16 am

sounds lovely

4:16 am

Last year one flowered from Christmas through to July, one of the plainer ones with purply veins on a creamy background. Just went on and on.

4:17 am

I have black thumbs, alas

4:17 am

They seem to survive the ill-treatment here quite well.

4:17 am

oh, i love orchids. but the weather here has not been good for them. lost 3 this last winter. :(

4:17 am

Goodness I didnt know botrytis affected humans sprite!

4:19 am

nearly dinner time here. have had the most marvellous time chatting with you all. see you at the flip. {{hugs}}

4:19 am

lol scouser! Yeah, must be in my genes!

4:20 am

byee I must go too and prepare for invasion by 3-yr old.

4:20 am

*hugs rose* Have a lovely dinner and evening, dear one.

4:20 am

good luck with that, scouser, and have fun

4:20 am

hugs again for craftylady if she's still here.

4:21 am

spritey, will respond to your email when i have more news. night....

4:21 am

thanks scouser

4:21 am

take your time, darling, I am not going anywhere ;)

4:24 am

4 left... always the toughest... until you find them and then they are so obvious, lol

4:25 am

fireflies. Friendly grid today! Bye all, off to hang up laundry and have a little nap. Craftlady, *hugs* to you and get better soon.

4:26 am

bye sprite thanks

5:48 am

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

5:48 am

hi

5:48 am

wasup

5:59 am

hey guys wasup

5:59 am

talk to me

6:01 am

I command it

6:02 am

any of the limerick folk still here? I thought of another one

6:02 am

Hi ruby

6:03 am

hello scrabs

6:03 am

stole a moment this AM for 74 words but I feel like I'm drowning

6:03 am

I have found 128 but am struggling now

6:04 am

we were trading limericks - theirs were smutty, mine were originals

6:04 am

and not smutty....lol

6:04 am

It's easy for people to create naughty ones

6:04 am

I was just using people's names

6:04 am

That's because you have class, Ruby. : )

6:05 am

now I need to do one for molly

6:07 am

I met a young woman named Molly, So pretty we all said Oh Golly, as smart as a whip, For sure worth the trip, Even by bus and by trolley

6:07 am

Gotta get ready for work. Bye kids.

6:07 am

: D

6:07 am

bye scrabs

sligthly out of rhythm in the last line, but very charming and original, ruby

6:07 am

Have a good day Scrabs.

hi scrabs and bye

and hi molly

6:08 am

ty shallow; I did it fast

i know that youre good - ive seen the other ones

6:10 am

there was an old lady named Nancy, Who lived in the outskirts of Annecy, Not smart as a whip, But well worth the trip, And some even thought pretty fancy

6:10 am

(that's mispronouncing Annecy, but close enough for jazz!)

6:10 am

mine don't scan as well as the dirty ones

6:11 am

Hello all

hehe

6:11 am

hi smores

hi smores (and dont forget to save;) )

6:12 am

:) I wont - thanks for the reminder

6:12 am

actually, that's not true, Annecy is pronounced just like Nancy...

6:12 am

hi buggie -- some do, some don't

6:12 am

hello Yolanda - I am speaking to you as commanded

6:13 am

do you know Annecy, Buggie?

6:14 am

never been there, no

6:14 am

just got a few minutes before getting my daughter off to school

6:14 am

I'm from the west

6:14 am

"Venice of the North"

6:15 am

you have too many big citys in that corner of the country, you should share them out a bit ;o)

6:16 am

we're about half way between Geneva and Lyon but the rest is pretty dinky

6:17 am

I've been to Lyon twice, but it's a hell of a trip if you're not flying

6:17 am

phantom: ma6 + he4

6:17 am

I really wish they'd put some proper trains in between east and west

6:17 am

where are you buggie?, just now noticed your flag is loke mine

6:18 am

Poitiers

6:18 am

like even*

6:18 am

almost married a man from there 100 yrs ago

6:18 am

Poitiers is beautiful!

6:18 am

100 years ago?

6:19 am

just kidding

6:19 am

I had better be careful what I say; he might be your best friend.....

6:20 am

Poitiers is a mess, they've made the pedestrian are bigger (good), but changed half the streets, anyone visiting gets lost, and they've redone all the paving, so now you can't walk around town without sunglasses because of the glare...

6:21 am

the old heart with its blackish stones was wonderful. My friend taught at the university

6:21 am

but he lived in a new high-rise on the periphery

6:21 am

oh don't know anybody in any of those buildings :)

6:22 am

they haven't touched the cobbled area by the main church, but the other main square was completely ripped up, including the trees and everything

6:22 am

are you French?

6:23 am

hard question to answer, but officially no, nobody in my family has ever worked up the courage to get the paperwork sorted out...

6:24 am

I once went to a 14 juillet fete in a grand place I think in front of the Hotal de Ville

6:24 am

hotel*

6:24 am

yeah, it's the hotel de ville square that's been completely ripped up

smores are you still there?

well when you return heres your limerick

the babbler known widely as smores --- had sevens, sixes and fours --- spelled out to to the letter --- she left (should know better) --- returning, she missed all her scores

6:25 am

I still have photos of the green space down from the city wals

6:25 am

brava shallow!

;)

(brav-O)

6:26 am

didn't know if you were male or female haha

6:28 am

at least french covers that - if you don't know, then you use the masculin. Just like a single man in a million makes the whole lot male ^^

6:28 am

nice

6:34 am

very nice to meet you buggie but it's time for the Herald Tribune

6:35 am

have fun :)

Morning for a moment to all who may be here.

6:42 am

afternoon :

:) Looking forward to my afternoon.

6:42 am

:)

I got 112 easily, but the last 70 or so are now kindof not there!

6:44 am

I'm struggling with 85 left

6:44 am

at least I've already got the 10 and three of the 8s

I dont have the ten, have 2 8's... but thats nice, I have barely had any time to play lately.

6:46 am

the 10 is very easy to get

I shall eventually find it. Is it a plural?

hi and puzzling at the last 21

no past tense

Ahhh, thanks shallow.

do you want a very shallow hint on the last 8, buggie?

6:48 am

sure :)

its a compound

when you need more, just say so

6:50 am

yes please -- have no 8's :-)

6:50 am

hrm, thanks, i'll keep that in mind

hi une.

6:51 am

oh, found it

6:51 am

hey, red :-)

hi une

6:52 am

hey, shallow :-)

once you get the first, the rest comes quite sm-----ly

6:53 am

hmmm found sm5 and 7 . . .

youll find the rest then too, theyre just along there

Ok, I must be off, it is flu vaccine season, and I must go and find about 200 more people in the hospital to instill it into. Yay.

6:54 am

aaahhh got it -- thanks!

bye red, hand

6:57 am

Good morning!

hi car

6:58 am

Hi Shallow One!

6:59 am

what does the 10 begin with?

6:59 am

I have 3 of 4 8's...2 that begin with sm and one that begins with so

7:00 am

Hi LisaG! I just started, so I only have the sm 8.

7:00 am

ha ha lol...jsut got the 4th sm8

7:01 am

there are 3 sm8's and they are all pretty much the same with a different ending

7:01 am

so is a compound word

7:01 am

i just started too about half hour or so ago

7:02 am

im not even halfway yet

7:02 am

thanks for that 3rd sm8... wouldn't have thought to plural like that

7:02 am

tx for the so8 :-)

7:03 am

:) anyone know how teh 10 starts?

7:03 am

now have so8 and sm8 x 2 . . .

7:03 am

x 3!!

7:03 am

Hi Une!!!

7:03 am

howdy, car :-)

7:03 am

all of the sm8's are the same with a different last letter

7:04 am

the 10 extends from the sm8

7:04 am

PT one of the sm8s

7:04 am

Got them all!

7:04 am

what is the so8?

7:04 am

Got it! What a silly word.

7:04 am

not hard + top of your body

so8 is a compound word

7:05 am

ha! got the 10 :)

7:05 am

ha! that is a funny word!

7:06 am

I can only think of inappropriate ways that the so compound word can be used~

7:06 am

tsk tsk tsk ; )

7:06 am

Oh my Lisa!!!!!

7:06 am

Good for you!!!!

7:07 am

lol...

appropriateness is all a matter of perspective, i think ;)

7:09 am

NBT and NBS!

7:09 am

good grief, the 10 is wacko! LOL

congrats

7:13 am

lower i?

7:14 am

Lots of little Scottish words today!

Help with the lower F please? I only have fo 4 from there.

7:15 am

fo5/18

7:15 am

fo 4/7 to be exact..enemies

7:16 am

I have one fo 5/18 from the other F. Is there another from the lower one?

fo5/18 is a wind/weather situation in the mountains, fo4/8 a variant spelling

7:16 am

yes

7:17 am

yes it's the "dry wind"

7:18 am

TY! Got 'em both!

Time for the bus

bye ...

7:29 am

hi all

hi peri

7:29 am

found so8 and sm6/8. help with other sm8's pls

7:30 am

All the sm8 start as the sm6.

7:30 am

ok

hi bzz

7:31 am

As does the sh10.

7:31 am

Hey, shallow one.

7:31 am

is there only one sm6?

7:31 am

yes

7:31 am

there is no sh10.... it is sm10

7:31 am

ok, I don't see the other 8's will keep looking

7:32 am

Use common suffixes, peri

7:32 am

I just monkeyed another sm8

7:32 am

smoosh: v. to squash or mash, as in "he smooshed the bug before it got into the potato salad"

7:32 am

and found the sm10 too

7:33 am

that is smushed ; )

7:33 am

hah

7:33 am

regional spelling differences

7:34 am

Peri, I saw a sneak preview of Chicago Fire. It's good.

7:34 am

morning all!

7:34 am

ok, Molls, will check it out

7:34 am

Morning, sue.

7:34 am

and I was wondering about the absence of smoosh as well :-)

7:35 am

hi bea!

hi uu, love the aurora

7:36 am

Hi Uusue - smoosh is in there, but just as slang; not sure how much "usage" it takes to make slang a "legitimate" word

7:37 am

hi shallow and jwr!

7:37 am

yes, I had a good time finding weird and lengthy sm words

7:38 am

I have 3 sm8 and one sm10, what a good start

7:39 am

hello everyone

7:39 am

that's one of the perks of babbling

7:39 am

hello babblers

7:46 am

Oh, I know it well, Annie - I grew up in Queens, spent a lot of time in Brooklyn

7:46 am

((TO)) good morning

hi TO

7:46 am

hi TO

7:47 am

Neil Simon immortalized it - what else is there to say?

Brighton is the largest Russian speaking community in the US. I live on Ocean Parkway in a very large apartment house and it is about 90% Russian.

So I am. I adore cheesecake

7:49 am

9:52 am

History buffs can visit General Stonewall Jackson's resting place in two different locations. Most of his body is buried under a monument in a cemetery in Lexington, Virginia. His left arm, however, is buried at the site of the battle of Chancellorsville in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was amputated on the battlfield after Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men.

9:53 am

12:49 pm

ty Hego. And now I must go and find somewhere to put my car. Got home tonight to find the road leading to the street where I live was closed for resurfacing. I had a car full of shopping so ignored the signs. Apparently if the car isn;t off the development by morning, iot won;t be going anywhere till Sunday afternoon. And nobody warned any of the 150 householders that this was happening

12:49 pm

Well that sucks, Glant.

12:50 pm

sounds typical

12:50 pm

Home Owners Associations are from hell.

12:51 pm

Think the nearest safe on street parking is about 3/4 mile away. I suppose the exercise this evening will do me good. And yes, it sucks. My bigger problem is that I am having a new living room window delivered and fitted on Friday. Had the dayh booked fof work for weeks. If the company can;t get the van to my house it isn;t going to happen.

12:51 pm

No Home Owners Ass involvement. All homes privately owned. This is the local authority who are resurfacing

12:52 pm

oooh bad

12:52 pm

Public road maintenance....

12:52 pm

Here in the good ole US, we have Home Owners Associations even when the homes are privately owned.

12:52 pm

happy babbling all, need to move the car as it's getting dark - see you tomorrow

12:53 pm

They are the 2012 version of The Gestapo.

hi all, back to find more words. I'd like to have a G&T. but it is fattening.

2:13 pm

I usually wait til Fri Afternoon

2:16 pm

it is fattening,but i con sole myself that 60 more years or so will cure me of that problem forever,then i am content and have my G&T

2:16 pm

I am still tall and slim but getting a bit of a belly and I do not like that

2:17 pm

I need to start doing belly exercises again but need to get motivated

2:19 pm

stuck with 48 left

2:23 pm

is a G&T less fattening on friday? lol

2:24 pm

you should check out those skinny girl drink mixes they are bleating about on tv lately

2:28 pm

or just do not use mix and cut back on the mix(there are 90 calories in 8 ounces of shweppes tonic water) hehe

2:28 pm

not less fattening on Fri :)

2:28 pm

I looked into those skinny girl drinks. they do not seem to sell them in my area. but I will check in the local wine and spirits stores too

2:29 pm

I am using target brand of tonic and there are 100 calories per 8 oz

2:30 pm

bbl

2:30 pm

wild! there are only 60 calories in the shot of gin,so the mix does indeed have more

2:31 pm

2:50 pm

190 calories in a 3 oz martini

2:50 pm

oh dear

2:50 pm

need to look into those skinny girl drinks then

2:51 pm

straight gin seems the lowest at 90 cal

2:51 pm

I would make a smaller martini, maybe 2 oz

2:51 pm

then maybe straight gin on the rocks

2:51 pm

with some fresh lime juice

2:52 pm

yes,lime juice,wedge of fruit for garnish

2:52 pm

yep

2:52 pm

you can have 2 of those for the caloriecost of one mixed with tonic

2:52 pm

well I do have exercise class tomorrow

2:52 pm

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

they do sell diet tonic but I do not want the sugar substitutte

2:53 pm

They're not allowed to marry and are supposed to remain celibate.

I won't be watching the debates. I know who I'm voting for too. Neither of them.

4:23 pm

wooo hooo! deep freeze in colorado springs tonight! gonna go buy cider for later in a bit :)

4:23 pm

... does that mean skip it ... or a third party candidate ... a vote for "none of the above" ... or a spoiled ballot

4:24 pm

theres some wonderful 3rd party candidates id love to vote for. if my candidate is leading in Coloraod comfortably ill vote for rocky anderson

4:24 pm

That means I'm not voting. I don't believe either man is right for the job.

4:25 pm

Cos, I would be clinically depressed if I lived somewhere that it got that cold this early.

4:25 pm

ah colorado - hot days cold nights in sept/oct. love it. but the cold freeze means 40s all week til Sunday. not bad

4:25 pm

... voted for "Rosie Sunshine for mayor of Toronto once myself ... I was most disappointed when the neo-nazi came second to third term mayor that all sane non-alcoholic non-twentysomethings were voting for

4:26 pm

ok gtg.. food shopping.. bbl!

4:26 pm

4:27 pm

Yes it is scary. Scary how people will flock like sheep based on totally unsubstantial information.

4:27 pm

um scarey

4:27 pm

No, scary is right.

4:28 pm

... 1972 ... David Crombie got aobut 140,000 votes ... the white supremacist neo-nazi got about 3600 ... Rosie got about 3400 ... and Rick of the Universe got about 2200 ... and there were about ten others

4:29 pm

... not real candidate wanted to run against Crombie ... so no one paid any attention to the election ... (including me ... I was younger and stupider then)

4:31 pm

Dose, I live in America. I have no idea what a "real candidate" is. : D

4:33 pm

Here, the only people who run for office are wealthy opportunists who are slaves to their investors and lobbyists and have no interest in serving the people who voted for them.

4:33 pm

... someone that a sober thinking adult would consider as a suitable person to hold onto your wallet ... ... as a university student and not having a wallet I voted for the clown ... Rosie Sunshine ... because she was cute in the fright wig

Cool, good to hear - yeah, partly I've been very busy myself, but I've spent quite a few hundred hours of spare time on certain other addictive games that kind of crowded this out for a while

6:05 pm

Work is hard to come by these days, Neil, so well done on not only finding a job but finding one you like. I wish you all the best.

6:08 pm

So, what do you think about the Obama/Romney race? I hear everything from "Romney's got a slim edge" to "Romney's toast"

6:09 pm

Stats for single o in 4th row please

6:09 pm

oh4

6:09 pm

oh4/6

Thank you, Jacula.

6:10 pm

election today: romney's toast. but it'll be a lot closer maybe. gremlin

6:11 pm

obama has slight edge.

Because Obama isn't a nut bag

I hope that after the debate Obama will have more edge, but...we shall see.

Neil I have been wanting to ask you

6:12 pm

itll be hard for Obama tonight. he really disllke Romney. He has to be careful how he shows it. It hurt him in Jan 2008 against Hillary in NH.

I think the latter is pretty accurate, gremlinn. Better be. I "trolled" Romney a few weeks ago over something he tweeted. Predicatably, no response.

6:12 pm

ty dc & gremlin

Predictably, even. Damn typos.

6:13 pm

As an outsider to USA politics, I can only agree with Herin. Romney does seem like a nut job.

Neil you coming to Aus too with your brother?

I think he was a VERY odd choice for the Republican party.

He's worse than a nutjob. He's batshit insane.

6:13 pm

as a Washingtonian, agreed, herin and jac, though he's far from the worst of the lot on the right side of the spectrum here at present.

6:13 pm

agreed, red

No Herin, I'm not. I've just started a full-time job.

6:14 pm

mazel tov, neil :)

Hi Seain.

Thanks. :)

6:14 pm

evening

If they actually wanted to win the election, they could have chosen a far more moderate Candidate...and had pretty good success...

Took long enough huh?

6:14 pm

I won't say "toast" just yet but the signs are looking pretty bad

6:14 pm

Moderates have no place in the Republican party any more.

O Yah for you. I saw adverts for you brother and I was thinking I wonder if you are coming to. Australia is Awesome and Melbourne is the best city every. Which as i live here I have to say so

I'd toast him.

6:15 pm

national level, at least.

6:15 pm

the issue is the Tea Party (Dixiecats in my mind) hijacked the party -- no hope for moderates there any more.

6:15 pm

I'd toast to you toasting him.

I see Herin. No, not this time.

6:15 pm

Cos, that's true through the South also.

Haha, gremlinn. I don't think I could find a toaster big enough though.

6:15 pm

Hi seain.

6:15 pm

howdy, jacula :)

6:16 pm

Use a spit?

6:16 pm

Yes. And dying out in new england actually. chris shays got beat by a tea party republican in the primary for CT Senate

And thank you for making me nearly splutter my breakfast on the batshit insane coment

6:17 pm

Lol,Herin.

I do promise my self not to get into politics here but that couldn't be helped

Congrats Neil on your new job too

6:18 pm

I'm going to wander off to bed now, since it's 17 mins past midnight here in UK. Enjoy the chat and the rest of the grid. x

Night Jac

You're welcome herin. Hope it was a good splutter... or almost a good one.

And thanks for the congrats.

It was but if I did it would have been messy as it was bran flakes

Oh I do hate when things come to an abrupt stop.

51 left and they are suddenly difficult to discover.

I am goimng to go and get some yard work done

Ugh. Ok, have to pack up and head home. [was Babbling from work]

8:01 pm

2Bit is wicked smart : )

8:04 pm

hah. I think it's pronounced "smaht" after that adverb

8:04 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

8:05 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

8:05 pm

Heya Min!

8:05 pm

hiya minver! doing fine and you?

8:06 pm

the debate has begun

8:06 pm

I choose "tastes great"

8:07 pm

I'm well. I am babbling as I watch the Presidential debate.

8:07 pm

oh *that* debate

8:07 pm

I have no interest in BS vs BS

8:07 pm

yeah "less filling"

8:07 pm

Happy twentieth anniversary to Barack & his wife Michelle!

8:08 pm

I'm with you, Molly - they never actually answer the questions they're asked anyway

8:08 pm

Yeah, and he's stuck spending it with Romney

8:09 pm

Race to the top means race to get out of teaching testing grades because too much accountability is put on teachers.

8:10 pm

It's like listening to the grown up s on a Charlie Brown cartoon. Wah-wah-wah-wah

8:10 pm

nice Molly

8:11 pm

Molly, I think the BS vs BS describes it so well.

8:17 pm

the claws are out already. yikes. getting testy

8:18 pm

wow

8:24 pm

H's Hung! 3 left

8:25 pm

go min go! 46 here

8:25 pm

Who gets the first word, who gets the last word? CHILDISH!

8:26 pm

yeah - I was thinking the same thing - Romney not looking to good

8:28 pm

Obama I think is having trouble hiding his dislike of him though

8:28 pm

wow romney is being a major dick

Ya think?

8:29 pm

any help for the corner E? I have ei4/5 and en4/5

8:30 pm

there will be a guaranteed editoral cartonn with romney throwing a tantrum saying "I getthe last word!"

8:30 pm

corner e6,7 are a riddle

8:30 pm

ty smores!

8:31 pm

yw

8:31 pm

Cos, have they grabbed cordless mikes yet, ala West Wing?

8:32 pm

Obama should not have started by saying he inherited a trillion dollar debt either. I agree w/him, but he should not have said that.. Should never play the blame game

8:32 pm

no thats the 2nd debate molly

It's not a blame gamei it's the truth

8:32 pm

Or it'll be spoofed on the next Saturday Night Live cosdem.

8:32 pm

true min.

8:32 pm

sigh. I guess there is no place to escape these "debates"

8:33 pm

romney just said he'd get rid of big bird

8:33 pm

LOL cosdem! and he likes Big Bird

8:34 pm

D's Dumped! 2 left

8:34 pm

teehee - Molly was asking about West Wing - Obama should do few good men " You can't handle the truth!"

i am fully expecting to hear all the best parts of the debate on The Daily Show and Air America (hi all)

8:34 pm

id love a live unscripted unprepared debate

8:34 pm

I am finished! I have fireworks! sm 7/40 was my final word

8:35 pm

yes Romney has lost the Sesame Street vote

8:35 pm

woo hoo Minver!

8:35 pm

Congrats, Min!

I cannot understand who these "swing voters" are that are actually making their decisions based on what they hear in this dog and pony show.

8:35 pm

wtg minver

8:35 pm

2Bit, put your fingers in your ears and sing LA LA LA LA...it works for me.

Where are they swinging, and why are they so wobbly?

8:35 pm

Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the grid

8:36 pm

I will try to do a story of clues if I do not get too distracted by the bozos on TV.

8:37 pm

Oh I don't think "You can't handle the truth" would work for Obama. He is not exactly the bastion of truth himself.

8:37 pm

almost everyone watching has already made up their mind, and will watch from their own affirmation bias. So there's no actual debate or reasoning going on, but we've somehow been trained to think this skill of "dueling speechmaking" is somehow presidential

8:37 pm

Well, if Romney becomes President, we can say goodbye to the swing sets on Sesame Street.

Swing voters- who are you?

8:37 pm

I agree 2Bit. And the people who haven't bothered to formulate an opinion yet, probably are not watching the debate anyway.

8:38 pm

That's true,most who are watching this have made up their minds already.I do think it's important to have the debates

8:40 pm

Agreed Molly - Romney was just flipflopping around and your West Wing comment made me think of that.

8:41 pm

They both have major faults - I guess I'm just going with

8:41 pm

May I please have a clue for oo5-14? Thanks

8:42 pm

"better the Devil you Know"

8:42 pm

the political junkies oo5 and aahed over the presidential debates

8:42 pm

the big bird/romney memes have come out already

8:42 pm

I would agree Min, if they were actually asked important questions and really answered them. The reality is, the president has very little control over the economic direction of the country. These debates just feed the media's need to present things as a competition (the closer the better)

oo5, similar to the oo4, but different verb ending

8:43 pm

:) good clue dan2

8:43 pm

Thanks much, dan.

8:43 pm

I'm done now - promise

8:44 pm

I still want smoosh to be a word

8:44 pm

I totally disagree. Better the devil you know should not apply to how you vote for the President of your country.

8:45 pm

this country needs real third (fourth? fifth?) parties, and if not a parliamentary system, at least some proportional representation

8:46 pm

slim congressional majorities should not become total gridlock

8:46 pm

ok, *I'm* done now :-)

8:46 pm

promise

8:47 pm

aaaaaa - I promised - so I can't comment :)

8:47 pm

In other news...police in Chicago have discovered a pot farm with SIX FOOT PLANTS. Great googly moogly.

8:47 pm

teehee

proportional representation, instant runoff voting, NO private money in campaigns, NO proprietary software in voting machines, NO partisan officials in charge of elections, criminal prosecution for candidated caught spending one cent above their allotment

8:48 pm

That brings new meaning to the song Everybody Must Get Stoned.

oh, and NBT

8:49 pm

Gotta go, laundry beckons.

8:49 pm

Have a great night Molly

then we might get something done!

8:51 pm

love to agree with you

8:51 pm

gwen but I promised

8:52 pm

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

9:42 pm

Hello jesdraggon! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:48 pm

I'm well, Min. How are you?

9:52 pm

I'm doing well. I'm playing Family Feud now on FaceBook.

9:53 pm

sounds fun

9:55 pm

It is & very addictive. I've played ten rounds of Fast Money.

9:56 pm

I don't have facebook, so i don't know most of the games.

9:58 pm

Don't even like FaceBook.I only have it so I can play games

10:03 pm

Yeah, I don't generally have time to do more than Babble though.... often don't even have time to finish babble...

10:03 pm

hey jes and min

10:03 pm

Hi stid :)

10:04 pm

Hello stidmama!How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle

10:04 pm

getting cold here on this side of the mountains, jes...

10:04 pm

it's always cold over there, stid :P

10:06 pm

no... we actually put the "lid" on the cold frame this afternoon! I don't want my baby lettuces to freeze tonight. I think it's going to be THAT cold. brrr... last week we had high temps in the upper 70s and lows in the upper fifties. *sigh*

10:06 pm

supposed to be below 30 at night this week and in 60s during day here.

10:06 pm

but it always feels cold over there to me, because of the humidity

10:10 pm

It's not that humid right now, but I have heard that is true. I left that side of the state so long ago I don't remember what the transition felt like. :-)

10:11 pm

i lived in skagit as a kid and never noticed, but when i moved back over there for a year or so, i was constantly cold

10:13 pm

Yes, it's funny what we can acclimate to -- I know that I never re-acclimated to the cold waters of the Pacific after Puerto Rico and Virginia. THOSE were lovely, warm, swimming waters!

Evening.

10:15 pm

hey neil

Hey stidmama.

10:16 pm

I lived in Bellingham for a year in the early '80s, didn't like the damp much. But I liked the town and people.

10:18 pm

I like the clear air, which is good for my allergies, but not the molds which is bad for them... :-) we takes the goods with the bads.

10:19 pm

I miss the mountains. :(

10:19 pm

Hi Min. I'm well thanks... and you?

10:20 pm

jes... I made chicken-liver pate (for the first time) tonight, using some of the lard I rendered last month. *proud mama look* It's really yummy. Going to be hard to not eat too much....

10:21 pm

the mountains are nice (from a distance) I am not much of a backwoods person.

10:21 pm

I am well, but I am about to leave. Nice to see you briefly.

10:21 pm

*doing the "i'm not worthy" bow to stiddy who can render lard, wow!

Glad to hear that... or read it.

10:21 pm

Have never had liver pate... i think i tried liver once as a kid...

Nice to see you briefly too.

10:21 pm

Min, I am glad you were here today.

10:22 pm

oh, well, I was a woodsy hiking fool back then, now I'd be a fool to try.

10:22 pm

I love liver -- probably because I tend to be anemic. But I don't usually have enough to make anything yummy.

10:24 pm

my connection is getting slow. It

10:24 pm

I should go (((hugs))) *poof&

10:25 pm

Hi again gremlinn.

11:05 pm

Hello

11:05 pm

thanks again

So gremlinn... what are those "certain other addictive games" that you say have crowded out Babble for a while?

I joined a good Boggle site, but I'm sure it's one you know about already... http://weboggle.info/

11:08 pm

Skyrim (nearly 250 hours) and now Just Cause 2 (over 150)

What kind of games are those?

11:09 pm

RPG and action

11:09 pm

So that cut into almost all of my Boggle time for a while

Oh, ok.

11:10 pm

I think I've seen weboggle.info, not sure if I played it (if so, not a lot probably)

11:10 pm

mainly still play at Wordsplay

11:11 pm

OMG, neil, rofl...was your face red??

I've been there but find Weboggle better.

rururocks plays at Weboggle as well.

Haha, I think all of me was, Rose!

Yeah. I'm sure it glowed red.

11:12 pm

i can't imagine how embarrassed you were. and so easily done.

Haha, yeah. Remember, alcohol was involved. :P

Combine that with being overtired.

11:13 pm

yeah, i know. lethal combo

Yep.

11:14 pm

Haha, just read your "fact free multitasker" line in your profile

Ha. Glad you enjoyed it. ;)

See my Oct. 01 update, gremlinn.

I'm sure that will give you a much bigger laugh.

[totally at my own expense too]

Welcome back Rose. :)

11:24 pm

That was quite the bizarre story, Neil. I've got nothing remotely like that.

I'm kinda here... and kinda elsewhere.

Everywhere, nowhere.

Haha, gremlinn... think yourself lucky.

11:24 pm

(I'm generally overly careful about always having keys on me, etc. Haven't been locked out of anywhere yet!)

Well, alcohol was involved... and exhaustion.

11:26 pm

sounds like Elvis

Hey ru!

11:27 pm

the only time i came remotely close to that, neil, was the day when i accidentally hit the k key instead of the j key here in chog. as i said, remotely.

Haha... check profile.

Oct. 01 update especially.

Explain that one, Rose?

11:27 pm

hi neil.. nice to see you. Just popping in for a sec.. got to clean up dinner stuff

Oh well. Nice to see you too... for a sec.

Check updates when you can... all new.

11:29 pm

i was talking about the latest fashion with young men, wearing their jeans down on their hips, with their JOCKS exposed. but i hit the K instead......

Haha! Too funny.

11:30 pm

Yes, I noticed that.

11:31 pm

11:33 pm

ah well, if you can't laugh at your own silly mistakes, then you are being waay too serious.

11:34 pm

11:35 pm
