Hey (((Rose))). Well I'm here aren't I? ;)

awful lot of ((( )))) going on
Haha.
yes Neil, you are here in mind, i guess. but the body is sadly lacking
Yep. Very quick... I'm preparing the stats for posting at this point.
Huh Rose?
How is my body lacking, exactly?
awww.....{{{{ruru}}}}, there you are . a {{{}}} all of your own
uh oh
You think I'm only here in spirit, having an out of body experience? :P
hubby said to her... I can't help I have been healthy and didn't need to make an appt and bother him for no reason... grrrr
neil sounds like Shirley McClaine
gm babblers:)
as only you can, Neil. you are so far above us, it begs the question.
hi shallow
looks like a small board...
what's the stratosphere like thes days? :P
*brings bags of rose petals for granny to toss*
Hey Matt.
Yep. Disappointingly small.
been diving off any space platforms lately? :P
I guess size does matter
oh, Neil. *shocked look* you are always bragging.
Ummm... kinda smoggy, Rose? [I live in L.A., don't forget.] :P
Huh Rose? "disappointingly small" is bragging? :P
well a decen weekend board should be 200+ . Flip algorithm should be fudged to generate such an outcome
I sooo agree, Matt.
sorry -"grid" still havent quite adapted to the house-lingo
lol. ahem, clears throat. YOU ARE ALWAYS BRAGGING ABOUT THE SIZE, AND NOW YOU ARE SAYING DISAPPOINTINGLY SMALL. :P
You will Matt, not to worry.
<---stays outta this one
Huh Rose? When do I ever brag about that? [*scratches head in puzzlement*]
*puts on tin foil hat*
In fact I've never discussed the subject with you.
does your Ipod touch have skype neiL
nah...not going there. i think perhaps too much information. mind you, you do call yourself a big dork....
left for a while, just came back, mystified by current chat
hi neil
*adjusts tin foil hat*
* from under table* is it sa4 to come out yet?
I just got skype -- cam back here from the kitchen to hear all sorts of oopy sounds which turned out to be a message fro skype offering help, which I delcined.

<--In the finish it in dribs and drabs club
time to make coffee for the mrs.. be back in a bit
I have returned to the dribs and drabs club...
Welcome fellow dribber.
When do you leave for Hawaii?
We leave here Wednesday..early AM flight on Thursday. Sa5/16 to do it that way with all the deer and elk on the roads....
I am concerned I am already in vacation mode...LOL
Well I hope you have a sa4 trip. I'd say have a good time, but that seems redundant when one is going to an island paradise.
True dat!
Hoping tethering my Droid phone will provide me internet whilst we stay at my friends condo...
Not that I have a Babble addiction or anything...
I don't know. If I were lucky enough to be going to Hawaii, spending time on the internet would not be on my "to do" list.
Well, there may be some evenings free, it gets dark really early there....
<------finished the dribs and drabs grid day!
Well done

Back for my last 10 words...I am babysitting today, 4 kids! Plus my 2, but really my 2 are a help, the others are small...but that is 6 kids in total!!
i have that every day lol
it is naptime for the 4 lil ones, and my hurricane house is finally quieted down a little :)
thanks jillyjil
Yowser!! Of course, I have 30 teenagers for 2 hours every week!!
my girls are from 16 down to 5
My boss is celebrating his 10th anniversary, and they dont get to do much, so I volunteered to keep the kiddos while they went to Niagara Falls for the weekend :) Hes not just my boss, his wife and I are friends too.
yvw rumplestiltskin
My 2 boys are 17 and 10. Then the 4 I am babysitting are 8, 7, 3 and 9 mths.
thats so nice of you :)
That is very nice of you LisaG!
And, they really are great kids. Makes me reminisce of when my boys were little :)
Well littler~
Wow Lisa, I bet they don't get many offers to babysit 4 kids those ages.
They do not. I have kept them two times before, but never for the weekend. One time they got tix given to them for a concert and were going to forfeit them~so I took the kids for them.
I'm surprised 8 and 7 still take naps.
Well...normally they don't but they were up late at my sons last football game with me last night and didnt get to bed until almost 11:30!! Then were up at 6:30 bright eyed and bushy tailed!
About 45 mins ago I saw the older two starting to wind down, so I told them after lunch they were gonna take a nap just so noone gets cranky :)
At first they didnt want to, but when I snuggled them in, 5 mins later, both girls were out.
Did you get my email, dear Moldy? #221 What do you give a sick bird? Tweetment.
lol br...
Or maybe *groan*...nah, I like puns!
I'm outta here. I don't stick around when the name calling starts.

hi all
Hi blueskies.
hi neil
anyone have a list
Hey Bekki. I could use a list right now!
And, Hi everybody. :-)
Hi
(((Mere))) Hello :-)
List here...http://tinyurl.com/lx5lon
About done for my grid. Not finished, done. Gray upon gray here. The tiny bit of yellow from trees across the way is so muted as to be almost useless. Oh well. Day going well. Murphy (the dog) is asleep, husband is doing boat things, I am ready to look at catalogues.
ty Soodle. I was going through my computer files today and happened upon my notes from Ireland. What a lovely place to have in memory.
Molly to the rescue! Thanks Molls. And Yay, Mere.....I am so glad you have positive memories of here
Wish we could have had the opportunity to visit your village Soodle. Nothing improves a place like a BabbleFest.
Mere, the Irish Tourist Board have come up with a gimmick they are calling 'The Gathering@
Ours is no gimmick. We really do Babble and the Fest is the part where we eat and talk some more.
In short, the population of the country are being encouraged to enveigle people to visit Ireland in 2013. I am patrioticly (sp?) encouraging any and all Babblers to visit Ireland in 2013.
Oh. Your patriotismmm is way ahead of the rest, I would say. 2013 has a bunch of days. Which sunny days should Babblers plan to be in Ireland.
Thank you Molly! I was down to my last 4, and the list saved me. Now I don't have to commit hari kari. TY!!!
got to go...enjoy all!
Always good when hari kari is off the table of choices.
LOL Champ!!
The world would not be the good place that it is without you in it Champ. : )
I'll keep Ireland in mind for 2013. Meanwhile, I'm wandering off. Best wishes to all Babblers throughout the world.
If any Babbler is going planning a trip to Ireland in 2013, I promise I will arrange a meet up!. And I will take photos. And guarantee a good night out.!
afternoon all-got the final word, ta4, after 5 furious minutes of monkeying, finally going to morewords---an antelope, Damaliscus lunatus, of east-central Africa, having bluish-black and yellow markings....not fair for a final word!! LOL
Really, take her up on it folks. She knows how to party and it's "her" island. : D
But, what I am really looking forward to is the Molly n Soodle show! Seriously.........
Golly...I spent ages trying to find the second H in the top right hand corner. I had the rabbit-like animal. Totally missed the musical instrument. Doh!
Ahahahaha...the IRISH musical instrument.
hanging head in shame....
Hello soodle and molly!
Hi again Everyone.
Look, there's Nef and Jilly : )

Well, popping out again...bbl hagd everyone!
It wasn't you doing the name calling Jilly. But I think you know that. : )

sowhatever you all do, have a great evening.
I get the political statement, I just don't get it as a costume. No matter.
eh. . .i just haven't found anything to inspire me molls and i only have an hour left before the party begins
one of the boys' friends is going with a group of guys as sundusky and young boys. . . but they are all at U. of Md
This is "the weekend" for Halloween parties. I bet it will be fun downtown.
any verdict on the bread? i think will hit walmart overnight and hope for the best
How long have you had the bread?
i think it is fine TO but what do I know
ewww. i don't know, sometimes it keeps nearly 4 weekd
Um...stale.

damn where am i going to find my bread with all the panic?
hagn all and stay sa4
You will find bread now. It's after the storm when trucks may not be able to get through that things will be scarce.
Thanks, Molly
my store looked like the locust had been through
people were panicked that there was no bottled water and it was all i could do not to ask them if their spigot was broken
I just fill up gallon containers with water I filter myself.
exactly
Good morning. Hope all's well with you on the US east coast and that the storm passes through with few problems for anyone.
hi liz . . . it hasn't hit here yet
What are the forecasters saying?
it should be here monday night tuesday morning really. . . but lots of rain before that
I am missing a c5. I have 1 ca, 1 ch, 1 cr. what am i missing?
i think people are over reacting but then i tend to under react to this kind of stuff
2 ch5
Well, I hope it's not as widespread as they're suggesting and that eveyone's OK
Thx
widespread is likely. . . fierce I am less sold on. . . a #1 hurricane is not that big of deal even joining another storm
stats for the final ta pls - my last word!
anyway I am on the highest ground in DC so. . .
is this hurricane season?
wouldn't those water containers get moldy?

But there weren't many (if any) strange words!
Enjoy your party! Our neighbours had one last night!

Best of luck to your boy in the quarter finals. Glad you're feeling a bit better. Try not to over do it. Coming back from that kind of injury needs to be done in "do-able" doses.

Man...gonna be SOME party!!
my skirt is way too small..... and its cold out
brb
Shaved legs, mini skirts in the cold weather, taking extra time to do your make-up...kind of makes you appreciate the other side of the gender fence. : D
lo hes gonna apply goth make up on me which matches my skirt bbiab
This might be scarier than Pennywise.
lol he left the room im all self conscious now
You cannot go out strutting your stuff and be self conscious at the same time. Time to take a stand.

I think as ready as can be - checked the gutters today, bought some bags of ice. We have a chest freezer that did well with 2+ days of power loss during the derecho
Hello BabbleRabble!How are you doing?Welcome to puzzle
a full freezer will keep up to a week usually, and stuff in center/bottom longer.
ty, BR -- got it.
plus, among my family in the area we're on 3 different power grids with 2 different utilities, and my dad has a generator, so we can (& have) bunked up before
There are 4 fr words dc
3 4's and one 5
yep :) Down to the 3Cs now, which is what i figured would be the last ones for me :)
cars are gassed up, everything in the garage off the deck & porch & we have extra cash, so nothing to do now but wait
monkeys got me 8 of the 11 i have -- good night for monkeying.
Um, check that full freezer for a week thing Seain. Most of what I have read say it's a bit shorter than that.
That it is dc..
This is based on what i and people i know have found -- most of us have gas cooktops so can work through the stuff.
7 ca; 4 ch; 3 cr
I know...that is why I love gas stoves and so glad we had ours put in a few years back. Plus so much better to cook with ...
thing we miss most in an outage is hot showers - the downside of a tankless water heater
Good point dan2...we have one of those too.
the up side is never running out of hot when the power's on, though :-)
But we only rarely lose power here for very long.
Plus we are on a well, with an electric water pump...
I agree 2Bit. A hot shower is the last thing I do before I think the power might go out and the first thing I do when it comes back on (after the water heater has rejuvenated itself)
Are you guys ready for my story of clues yet?It is all finished

I have found ea4/6 and every word in the grid and have accomplished the fe 4/7 of re 5/14ing finish line. Here is a story of clues. Tomorrow the ea4/4 coast will be hit with a storm that will do a va4/7 amount of damage. It will destroy many ac4/5 of land.The storm will ta4/4ish many buildings. The ar5/10 that will be hit will be from North Carolina all the way up to Maine.It will move at a pretty fa 4/7 pace as it ta4/4s up the coast. People are comparing this one to hurricane Irene, a storm from the pa 4/5. I fe 4/7 for people's sa4/7ty. I hope that all the people I ca 4/5 for will survive the storm. I hope it does not leave too much ca4/4age in its path.Utility workers will be ea4/4ing a lot of overtime.I believe that people will have to travel by ra 4/7 afterward. I was a ra 5/12 and ra 4/5d to the store to get some supplies. Wouldn't it be funny if this whole thing turned out to be a fa5/18 and nothing happened? Cr4/6! Hubby wants the laptop. Well I do not give one io 4/4, I am not getting off my re 4/4! I will be here off & on to clue for rest of the night.

Hello blueskies29!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hello Lizlin!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid
Hi there. It's really frustrating finishing the grid early - I usually keep coming back to add a few more words! Well, the habit persists - just no more words to add!
Love your icon Minveryork - so true but retiring from teaching's even better!!!!
Thank you Lizlin. Retirement is a long way away for me. :(
I took it earlier than I ever expected, to move to Australia.
But teaching is a great profession - if only those in power would let teachers do what they know best how to do!
Thanks minveryork
I do the same thing to extend my babble time Lizlin. So If I have one left too early in the day,I will wait to enter it until later that night. Tonight, I did not get here until 10:00 so I did not wait to enter last word,but I should've

Was able to complete the grid in under an hour.Bored now
For me, the grid changes at 3 pm - (unless that changes when / as the clocks change in the US), so it's some in the afternoon, some before bed and some the next day. I left 4 for this morning! Yes, bored now but thankfully time for lunch. Enjoy what's left of your evening.
Goodbye Lizlin!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log maybe
See you later :)
