hello all
so good to see you, cos; wondered where you have been
be 6
flip hi everybody
oh good m-i-l!
she called out of blue today said "bet ur going crazy without a computer, lets go get you a new one"
how nice of her, cos, glad you're back!
what did you get, cos?
tobisha.. something.. with windows 8.. really like this version of windows
Windows 8! It looks very confusing
quick question for anyone who babbles on their androids.. i am not able to comment on chog on my phone but can still play game.. does anyone else have the same problem?
windows 8 was so confusing at first.. no start bar, task menu, program menu -- not there at all.
That's Toshiba, btw
lol ty and its right in front of me too :) should have looked first ;)
nbt
wtg dart!
great caesar's ghost, dart!
lol jilli
how do you access anything, cos, w/o all of those helps?
nbt too
oh there's a separate screen its all on your screen... would be easier with touch screen but works fine with the mouse.
ma7
ch8
interesting; I haven't seen it yet
wow rbud!
ok i know it just flipped but why does licker's say puzzle for mon. 05 and not have the rite puzzle?
because he's in Australia, angel
cause he lives in australia and they havent changed their clocks like we did last night
probably something to do with our time change, be4 wondering how that was going to work out
across the International DAte Line
lickety came on hour before flip and said "list was up" but the list was already up.. i wonder....
no we changed our clocks 4 weeks ago. i have emailed lickety
Mschs
see? I was worried - our time changed this Sun. morning, and with him showing up so soon after flip, now he's an hour early! :\
maybe lickety needs new batteries in his watches?
hmmm weird cause it isn't the correct list this is yesterday's list but with todays date
yup, I was afraid of that.
he posted yesterday's list with today's date.
DID ANYONE SEE MY POST AT 12:13????
it is automated...
NBS but not nbt
37 words found and stuck already
won't get today's list until an hour before flip, haha
Yes, granny and thanks for emailing him.
got the 8! ty
yes you emailed him granny thank you
but g'rose, we just changed our time today. well sunday.
ma 7.. nbs
only 119 words...why the panic at 15 past
and my time is grid time.
thanx jilli, for noticing
not panic just curiosity dart
What I meant to say was that yesterday he posted the list very late, and it showed today's date.
rbud...he lives in aust...they didnt yesterday
I know. exactly my point.
I felt like a douche finding the en5/12
he posts right after flip....now ours has changed...his is same so it posted one hr before flip
yes i know rbud, but lickety is/was unaware of the change, hence i emailed him.
right. he came a hour before flip today which was our old flip time and said "list is up" but the list was already up
and somewhat in arrears finding the bo 5.18
lol ty ru
when it posted today is the same exact time as always....in australia
but the list I see now is still the one for the last grid, and I did go out and back in.
stats for O please?
i give up
ob 4
an instrument cos
ty ruru hahaha
ugh tyvm!
right jill. same here. lickety must have forgotten and put up same list twice
time for another email, maybe, I do wish the list didn't post five minutes after flip, but 23 hours after flip, hmmm....
and the stats for Y for nbt please?
gran..i feel your pain
lol, dart, thanx
nbt/nbs
what, you emailed him about our time change, not Canada's four weeks ago? that's the one I thought you meant.
WTG cos
phantom bushmen/bushman
rbud, i have emailed on both occasions
how funny cos.. we were talking about bushes earlier today
rbud, Canada did not change 4 weeks ago -- we changed the same day as the USA
need a y for nbt and a 7 and 8 for nbs
yu 4 nan
lol ru... the green kind i hope
of course
ch8, ma7
i emailed lickety when our clocks changed, and i have emailed with your clocks changing
rbud, I think granny said Australia changed 4 weeks ago. Canada and Australia are not interchangeable.
nbt nbs
ty rose for doing that! wtg dee

nbt, nbs
ugh phantom chime I keep trying it
what are the stats on the y?
I keep trying chimera
yu 4/8
I tried machisma
yu 4/8

tsk you must put spaces in. . . now the chog is confusled!
:-)
i have just be hanging out at campaign hq and christie
Is that what's happened! I wondered!
and others ca** up in conversation
did it the same way i did the lists....never has done that to me before. see the \n thing that others have now
haha lists of words for a letter are seldom 150 characters
long without a break
my chog is now cutting off the right hand side ... odd
mine too
if we continue to talk in short sentences we will
mine scrolls to the right and left
move it out of the chog and then the problem will be
solved
weird...others have said that before...while mine was still normal
tonight is the very first time my chog has been wonky
short
short

well i have an arrow bar at the bottom, which moves the chog from side to side
never had that before!!!
me too rose me too
me too
well it is good to experience new things! haha
very disconcerting
stats for second column M for nbt please
nm
aww, gran, I just noticed that; I don't remember that arrow bar being there before.
*hangs head in shame*
nbt
mu4, greek goddess
it shows up when someone accidently stretches the chog
well i have to get up in 4 hours so i think I will go
bye all
night, jmc. sleep well, hun
sleep well
wonder if it is the new server or something new dr g has done to the program
when i did the state abbrev...it put the \n into list
that was happening to you know who before too
isn't that strange
think that is when it started
when i did letter lists..wasn't doing it
must be a program or a server change
sorted now!
what the hey?? it's gone!!
weird
yay! but weird
wow, it's gone here, too
maybe that one line has scrolled completely out of the chog.
maybe
another weird experience in babble land
yep at least for me it has
Oooh, got really fun news tonight. One of the college girls who stayed with us last weekend just got engaged!
friend of your daughter?
No, one of the girls we housed from Johnson University after a musical concert they gave in town.
The girls always "adopt" me lol... it's pretty sweet.
long as they don't "haze" you in lol
LOL, too true!
time to go. guests have arrived. enjoy the grid. back tomorrow.
nite liz
Hopefully, things will slow down soon. Only 2 more Mondays of study at my house; we are done on Nov. 12th.
nite liz
but then....thanksgiving and christmas :)
Our Thanksgiving will be pretty come - just our daughter, son-in-law, and dog this year; a few stop-in guests, but not really a big deal. We still aren't sure yet what we are doing for Christmas. I haven't bought or even thought about what we are purchasing.
oops meant calm
we will be seeing my parents right after TG...maybe driving to see her brother for X-mas
where is he?
northern new mexico
weahter in the mountains will play a role in that trip
weather
It is going to be interesting to see what this winter brings - weather wise.
yep....last one was our first one here...i liked it but the locals say it was very unusual and very warm compared to norms....I told them compared to minnesota..you probably can't hurt me too much...unless we get a lot of ice storms
is KS known for ice storms in a "normal" winter?
middle part of country gets them quite a bit...minnesota is usually cold enought that we just get dumped on with a lot of snow
last winter in mn...first snowfall was mid-november..17 inches...then 17 more first week of dec....it was over my waist by dec9...and i'm 6'6"
I have been to MN in the winter, but all of my KS visits were in the spring time. One of our daughter's best friends lives in your city.
We haven't seen snow of any consequence in a couple of winters. We used to get dumped, but not so the last several years.
How many words today please
119
last year in mn...they has 15 inches the whole winter combined
Thanks
yw
could i have a clue for the 8 please
but we were here...we had 3 inches the whole winter. lol
alt spelling for chamois... looks like sleeping apparell ch 8/60
Did you miss the snow?
not one bit....had to shovel once...and golfed pretty regular throughout the winter :)
sounds like my hubby and leaves this fall - all our old neighbors were raking and blowing leaves up a storm, and we didn't have to do it once ...
thanks for the 8 - never seen it spelt like that before
have 10 trees on my lot...but they aren't very big.....back in minn we had 3 that dropped leaves...and it was a chore about every 4th days
was new to me, too jiv
had a 65 ft tall maple tree that was huge...when it dropped...the leaves were about a foot deep
we had scads of trees before; so nice now not to have to mess with them... ditto at our old house - had several huge maples and oak trees
I love all the sunshine here
yard is bigger now...takes longer to mow
yep
I must confess though; I have never mowed a yard, since we were married.
how long has it been since you moved into the new house?
since March 24th
unfortunately...i have been doing that since i was about 9
hubby likes it?
he really enjoy mowing; he even helps mow the yard at the church, which is several acres
push mower...or rider?
rider here; push at the old house; rider now to save some trauma on his knee
otherwise, he probably would still be pushing
with the other lot now, it takes several hours on the rider, so I am thankful he got it this year
forgot about the knee...i remember joking about 2 for 1's onknee operations for ruru and your husband
he had his cortisone shot on May 9th, and so far he hasn't had any pain. Some day, he'll have to have a replacement, but for now, he's good.
wonder if ruru will ever do it
We had a shock last week; a 59 year old from our old church died of a massive coronary... so I've really been bugging him to get a physical. Hubby's doc said one day the pain will "make" him do it, so probably the same with ru.
my dad had a heart attack in feb....i had a few extra checks during my last yearly physical...makes you think a bit
I bet. How's your dad doing now?
he had a stent put in back then...he is fine...but they keep talking about things on their bucket list....so hopefully they aren't holding back any info
They may just be thinking that at their age they need to do some things they have wanted to...
Well, I need to get going... have a couple of chores to finish and then try to get some sleep.
Have a great day!
i think that is it....but sometimes you wonder...they were talking about a nice restaurant....and some other things like that...not huge conquests
have a good one tomorrow too....another perfect night lol
does make you wonder, I'm sure; my parents were always secretive, too. LOL, very true.
ta ta for now!
cya later...im off too pooof
good morning
Lickety
gm marc
Lickety's list looks off just what I see from the A's. She does not list the am4 and there is no 'v' in the list? Any comments and where can I get a correct list?
Hi Ruby
I don't use a list and, therefore, never finish!
I think VolleymomDee has a correct list in her profile ...
gm chessy
thanks
Hi Ruby
hello everyone
Morning Lynxxx
hey Zooz - what a treat! you disappeared off the face of the Earth - we missed you.
ooh, ruby, lyn, marc cooee from me
hi Rose
chessy, hello, i don't think we have met. i'm rose to my friends
oh, sorry, and hello zooz
{{rose}}
{{lynxdx}}
hello, sweetheart (ruby)
oh my! it's really zzoozz!!!!
Hope every-one is well
i have emailed lickety re the later time of grid change...it would appear he hasn't responded yet.
and there is a list in volleydeemom's profile.
much better for seeing you Zooz. And you? what have you been up to?
DRG has been dishing up some tough grids this week
maybe DRG thinks if we work hard, we'll stay warm!
early Winter Ruby?
yeah this grid was a toughie. lots of weird words. :(
good for your bulbs
I shouldn't complain (after what's happened in the US), but it's very cold and nasty, even when the sun shines here. We've already had snow, very early for here
Been very busy...lots of moving around...sorting my life out..that sort of thing..lol
when you're finished sorting yours, I could use a hand!
you are still on Isle of Wight though?
hi there...just dropping in for a visit
ruby, saw that in the on-line newspaper from the UK. is snow at this time so unusual?
Hey and Zooz cooks too Ruby - could be a very welcome house guest
sorry it takes long time to type...i am using the xbox360
yes, we've never had it before Dec in 15 yrs
hi Eva
Yes still here...lol
hello eva
saw headlines yesterday about parts of England being brought to a halt because of snow-then read that it was 3 inches and of course, being in Vermont, cracked up.
were you effected by Sandy Eva?
nobody would bloink in Vermont
we were incredibly lucky and no-power out for 15 hours, but almost no damage at all.
ruby, and here i am chucking the quilt over to don's side of the bed, and unable to sleep without a fan on. lol
Bloink..LOL
we've had fires every day for a month, very early
brother is in nyc and he was fine as he is uptown, but the hospital he consults at is swamped because of all the others that had to close
hey eva
the house is drafty and cold
the hi granny
my sister in NY was very lucky; she's in Queens but never lost power ore any trees
hey, ruby, wanna come over to my house and sleep over?
this time of year always feels so cold....takes a while to adjust to it
I wish!!!!!
this will seem balmy soon
can't even get to Paris to see my oldest friend
there might be quite a few thousand Americans who would take you up on that offer Rose
they'll push don right out of the bed!
ummm, house not that big!!!!
don't know if it's because I'm so out of practice, but this seems like a really obnoxious grid
I keep trying hammam, the only word I know with 3 m's and 2 a's NOT
eva, your impression is correct. it's an absolute b***h
gotta go, see you later, kids
{{rose}}
i've beenplaying serpentine instead most of the time
and big hugs for everybody
later, my friend.
Bye Ruby
hey GrannyRose...if they wanna come over(Americans) we can spread our lurve around....a few here and a few there...LOL
yeah, diz....some in perth, some in adelaide, some in melbourne...and oh yeah, some in brisbane.
not forgetting darwin, hobart and last of all....sydney.
there was a beautiful photo in the local paper yesterday of lines of vermont power trucks heading to connecticut.Too bad that it takes such tragedy for us to remember that we are all connected
I'm not displaced but can i still come to sydney?
oh, lord, please save my sanity. my DH is sitting beside me garbling on about stuff he has put on our new computer. diz, can i stay with you a whiles...like 5 years?
ok Eva, when do we expect you?
when i can be teleported there
No probs Granny, will pick you up from airport or station
okay-back to check out serpentine....this grid is too frustrating. see you anon
just what makes him think i understand what he's going on about? i'm a nurse, for crying out loud!!!!
Eva....'teleportation in progress'
Hey Eva....something didn't work...LOL
getting late here. it's after 9pm. see you all after the flip.xoxox
Take care Granny.
nice to see you again zooz. take care of you.
any one here?
not really ;)
this grid is a brain boggler. lucky to have come half-way without the list ...
Shallow - do you have the ha 7/44? If so can I get a clue?
I am back for my last few
I am back for my last few

Am4/5
and now it is time for crossy,s life quote of the day!!!
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.†- Douglas Adams
end of a prayer smores
Hi crossy, smores, BR
howdy bichon
lol, I know crossy, I was saying am4/5, not asking for it
Hi bichon :)
lol,ok smores:)
nice quote
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Lewis Carroll
ty:) crossy likes douglas adams
this is true also
Hello, bichon
nice BR
here is one of my faves...
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.†- Ralph Waldo Emmerson
If at first you do not succeed, hire someone who knows what he/she is doing.
Sounds like some of our home repair projects
LOL
failure is just a person practicing at perfection
lol...nice
hi zooz
Must rememer that one,Crossy. Hellow, Bichon
success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.
very true
good BR :)
oops..sorry for the added w
LOL BR
Very true, BR
and one for my american friends who go to vote tommorow...
The words of Winston Churchill
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.â€
Helen Keller?
sorry that last was by Margerette Mead
I am very depressed about Election Day tomorrow
why bichonÉ
? there that is better.had to change my keyboard config
Me too. I think our representatives are corrupts working for robber barons
I'm afraid that if Romney/Paul get elected it will signal a big downturn for the country. Not that anything looks rosy now
it would be,but i do not think you have to worry.not after last nights performance in PA anyways
right on! BR
What happened in PA? Why am I asking a Canadian about what happened in the US?
because it was all over the news this morning:)
seems the rally did not go well
I didn't anything?
Who's rally?
just goodgle the romney pa rally
seems he wanted a captive audience lol
though i feel bad for the kids and elderly that were trapped in there
OK, saw that. We also have a Senate race here in CT where the Rep. candidate, Linda McMahon has spent $100 Million of her own fortune on negative attacks
and as outside observers here in the great white north,we can more easily see the insanity as we are not personally embroiled in it
last informal poll 86% of us would vote for one man if we could
got a spare room crossy?
lol
I got a call from a guy running for state senator and told him he could not find water in the ocean. He said, does that mean I can count on you?
you would be surprised how often americans ask us that smores lol
though we are far from perfect,but we do have universal health care and our govt does not dictate who we fall in love with and marry;))))
well,there was this one lass who wanted to marry her horse..was not so much species difference that had to have it stopped but more because the stallion was not at the age of consent at the time:))
morning all

Hi peri, glad to seethe purple baloon again
Politics here is evil. Loyalty is to the party. Expediency is the rule. The constituents are commodities and budget items. What is best for the country and its people simply is ignored.

Hi
good morning gramma
hello again. Couldn't even reach half this AM
hi teach, gramma, car.'s back, bzzn, crossy';s bacon-scented trail
hello ruby - not an easy grid
great phantoms, ew.g. miasma and hammam, but not so many words for me
also a phantom: acumen
nice one
this grid's driving me crazy and I have no time today
:)
My one is Cuisine
back to the kitchen soon
hello Babble friends
Hello, Spritey
hiya zooz! *hug* Looks like a toughie today
I have 3 more to find.... but it is taking an age.
woooot go zooz!
((ruby)) ((sprite))
crossy! *hugs*
i see wile E. Coyote,s favorite store is in da grid:)
:)
you thing with all that money he would of just ordered some already killed prepared and packaged roadrunner;)
chuckling...te..hee
too true. Hiya gramma!
Howdy sprite
What makes crossy's mind work the way it does? I never would have thought about oredring packaged road runner.
oredring or even ordering
crossy is crossy. Unique and unreplaceable
Good morning, all. I don't know, Crossy. Roadrunners are pretty scrawny.
"many have ask that question of my mind gramma
I love the way you think. I think.
hi Judi :) Will take a lot of 'm for a stew, then
Like a chicken wing with stick legs.
Maybe it's all in the pursuit
'tis because of all them running that they do
Maybe you could raise them like veal.
they always raise to the challenge... or is that race?
Fireworks...Phew
YAY, ZOOZ!!!!!
wtg zooz!
Congrats!
happy guy fawkes day everyone!
hi harpjane
howdy harp
Are you prepared to do a little clueing? Icould use a hint for the ca 6 and 7 after the brief ca*** appearance.
wonder if you can do roadrunner up like those little cornish hens? maybe baste them and wrap em in bacon and pop em in da oven?
Thanks, Harp. And hello :-)
I thought one could wrap everything in bacon?
With wild rice stuffing and baked peach halves
horray for bacon:)
now yer talkin gramma
Roadrunners are small enough that you could wrap the bacon with the roadrunner.
I'm getting hungry
once the anvil has dropped, you could even wrap with the coyote.
Ca7/36 is the same as the 1st Ca6/24 just add letter between last two letters
2 fried road runner eggs over easy w/ a side rasher of rr bacon
i always wanted to try a ostrich egg.they say it takes 17 min to boil one
camisae
oops
2nd Ca6/24 same 1st except change last letter
Thanks, gramma. That led me to the right words.
You're better off letting the ostrich hatch and grow to adulthood. The meat is delicious.
hi again
i am just not finding these ca 6 and ca 7 words,since i do not have any,the clues will not work
thanx gramma
:)
hiya smores!
Don't thank me. Thank zoozzoom
lots of meat on an ostrich. Their brains are smaller than their eyes... leaves lots of room.
Off to do other things...take care , All.
bye zooz
tc zooz
bye, zooz. Have a good day
I have 2 ca6 wrods since gramma's clue, but not a y
or a 7 either
well cluing off of other ca,s already found will not help me yet..gues i best hunt for at least one of them
bye zooz
ok,found a ca 6/24 am on a roll lol
do my posts appear in chog?
ca7= 1st ca6 with a vowel added between the last 2 letters
they do
ah ok, was wondering. Thanks.
teehee, yes sprite
lol,clue me the 7 like it is my first word and i have no other
are they not showing for you?
thanks smores, got it
this is why i do descriptive clues..
arrgh!..off to turn the home fries..
starts with short word for sexy lingerie
yes they did, but went unanswered for a while. Sometimes chog is buggy for me.
ty smores!!!
did that to me earlier today
thought you would like that clue crossy :)
After the plural ch pets, just water and watch them grow, I need a clue please for the 6, 7 and or 6
you have plural pets?
i hate cluing like this"can i have a clue for cr11/55 please?" well it is the superlative of the cr 10/44.."ok,can i have a clue for the 10/44 then?" it is the latin verstion of the cr 8/35..."ok how about a clue for the 8/35 then? well you just extend the cr 4/8...and by that time its is "ok nm,ill hunt for 4 letter words for a while...hehe
oh wait... I think I know. I have the sexy underwear word but starting ch
we know, crossy, we know...
hehe
lol..sorry crossy
not to worry,just me being silly
that is weird - lickety has the wrong list
I was actually cluing to sprite who said she had the ca6
ch 6 and 7 - using the green growing pet and add consonant and then add latin plural (i think)
ty teach
lickety has yesterdays list with todays date since it was put up late yesterday
Okay, thanks for info
morning all and how many words today and thanks
119
and I have a 6/7 combo ch + enthus****. Add vowel for the 7.

help with bottom o pls
an instrument
musical instrument
yeah well, try and do a descriptive clue of that 7/40, grin
the other type of cluing is great,if you are down to yer last few:)

sheesh, feeling really dumb today, ty
hi sprite, hi all
love you all though it is just me kvetching.been a tough week
still have two blank tiles and missing the 8. tough grid for me
hiya peri

tough grid for most, I think, peri
ok, I feel much better now, sprite
lone M pls
nm
top i pls
not nice
peri pulls a peri
found it ty
lol..nm
thought I had typed it in earlier
I am consistent
see? :D That is why it is named after you, peri!
you are famous now peri;)
my claim to fame :)
I am only famous on Babble
found the i too
that is pretty much worldwide
it is funny no matter what time i am on the grid,day or night when i say"oops,i pulled a peri" everyone knows exactly what i mean hehe
ok, then I am famous worldwide :) that makes me feel all warm inside. ty
lol indeed crossy. And doing a jilli?
but crossy is imfamous:)
so crossy, was ha7 your 1st word? lol
king of typos to be sure among other things
crossy has a tidbit... and an Elegant... and bacon... and cooks like a charm
i do not have the ha 7 yet
aww ty sprite,for that you get an extra tidbit...
lol
<--- no ha7 either
and now it is time for crossy,s bonus tidbit of the day!!
In 1965, a Senate subcommittee predicted that by 2000, Americans would be working 20 hours a week and taking over seven weeks of vacation each year.
compound word
ahhh thanks :)
just thought of crossy when I found it
the nitwit, crossy.
I wish...lol
gee..thanks
looking for ha 7 now
1965, I wonder what they were smoking?? Huh
a compound you can cook
lol...nitwit?
that senator, smores.
they were smoking anything they wanted gramma because i just think the surgeon generals report was due
grass, gramma, graas
was thinking of the pork product..lol
still looking...
someone not appreciating crossy's tidbit of the day could be called a tidbit nitwit.
of course you were. It always comes back to the bacon
hehe
save my bacon!
someone say bacon?
lol...nice
crossy: first 3 are meat, last 4 are what is inside the meat
ty sprite
use HA 7 to flavor my soup
yvw
(descriptive enough?) *grin*
you get one more tidbit for that,but that is all for today
please, give us our daily tidbit
At the Wife Carrying World Championships in Sonkajärvi, Finland, first prize is the wife’s weight in beer.
teehee, that is hilarious
lolllll ok.... if I tell my husband and he wins, Sonkajarvi will go bankrupt
hehe
it is good for all,no lonely undated heavy ladies in that town
all the fashion models sit home on saturdays
big is beautiful
i like my beloved.women should have curves and not sharp edges
no bo6/33 figures?
gotta have a bo5/18...lol
men like dogs chase women like bo4s ;)
woof
*giggle* Well, I know a woman who has a bo6 figure and she is beautiful in her own way.
but not bo4y, be4 pole women
agree...sprite....just being silly
I often think we judge too easily. But hey, I can be silly with the best of them :)
i judge no onebecause how can i judge others when i have yet to judge myself and also judging often says more about the judge than the one being judged
I've met many beautiful people of all shapes, sizes and colors.
I just say and think stupid things sometimes. But I don't believe I can judge much.
am4 to that, smores!
i love to go swimmin with bow-legged wimmen and swim between their knees..la la

I hope he wins, not that I like all of views, but Romney scares me
I agree. Scary man to me.
in a informal poll,the results suggested 86% of canadian would of voted for obama
holding the elections as scheduled even though many people - and polling places - are still without electricity
What scares me is the fact that exactly half the country believes he is OK...
too true, Erda, and hi :)

Hi sprite!

Hi smores

Thanks! River...Iwas tryying a different ending
Good Afternoon, All. How are you all today?
hello all and god luck!
Hi Nef
hi Alta and Molly. Be patient with me; slow typing with lots of typos today
apparently typos for me too, and I just got here:)
ty River for ch8
I love soup.hurshy, do you have a recipe for your bean soup?
hi all

no pork and beans?
beans but no pork
never? not even pea soup?
never and I hate pea soup
oops - PB for us all - be4
maybe hurshy left some soup in there :)
I don't do the PB
lol
The recipe on the bag of 15 be4 soup mix is pretty good. It makes a lot though.
I like the ah6. the principle of non-injury to living beings
the Hursts brand Molly?
I may have made that at one time. but I would be the only one who ate it so would want a recipe for a smaller amt
Uh oh, Zen time. Namaste. : )
Namaste, Molls
lol
am6/33 pls
Peri, all my bean soup recipes call for meat, which you don't eat.
am6 sneak attack
that is ok Molls. I have recipes somewhere
ty smores, did not have the base word but now have that and the am6
yvw
I had hot tea, drinking cup of soup and will have ginger ale and water too. doing my best to stay hydrated.

bye for now all :)
by smores
hi Trader, how are you today?
bye smores
good, but tired. how have you been faring?
... just looked at your profile - you've had quite a slog, i see
kind of slow right now; and a bit looped (had hand surgery Sat. and am drugged)
wishing you a speedy recovery, Nef. what type of surgery did you have done?
Let's just say it's been "quite" a year. And DH will be having another back surgery on Nov. 26th....
basilar joint arthritis; they took out the right thumb joint closest to the wrist and put a tendon from my forearm in there (my non-dominent hand)
that sounds complicated and painful. hope you heal quickly
as long as I keep the hand above my heart, move the finger in thathand frequently, and take some pain meds freq. I'm okay
so you are right handed?
oh boy, you really have a lot on your plate! heal quickly nef... and thank god for drugs (giggle)
You have to keep the hand above your heart at all times?
nope; a lefty; with surgery on right hand
tough year for you Nef (((Nef and her DH))))
oh, I got confused
it feels better that way, Molly. I don't "have" to, but I don't want swelling and throbbing
*Imagines Nef walking around the house with her hand in the air like an anxious second grader* : D
are you really in Barbados now Peri; or wishing to be there?
Wishing I was there. Have been in the past and had a wonderful time
yep, Molly; that's me! :-)
I don't see the flag here but I did change it yesterday
I even slept like that (I put 2 pillows on my bedside table, moved it up close to the bed and put ice packs on it there so I wouldn't take up the whole bed)
bbs
could I please have some stats for my last 3 tiles that I can't find word for? They are all in the 4th row: the left N; the bottom E; and that Y.
(((Nef)))
ne 5/5
yu 4/8
oops. NE 4/5 Ne + not pa...
Hi everyone
hi stid. How are you doing today?
lowest E is the medicine babblet EN 5/12...
ec 4/6
I am well Nef, getting over the headachy virus the high schoolers so lovingly passed on... *sigh* but probably better than you! do you need more ice, or meds?
and eb 4/6
oh, trentsnana, you're right, I was looking at the wrong E as usual.
and hello. :-)
I thought that at first, too
the EB is like a nickname for very dark wood
thank you stid andtrentsmama!
:-D happy to be useful, Nef!
finally got NBT now
go Nef go!
back in a bit - hi stiddie ;)
I am sure Grant would wonder why "noob" doesn't count ... LOL
hey kate :-)
en5/12 is a Babblet? I thought those were words only seen in Babble.
LOL, stid! You're so encouraging to everyone. :-)
no, just words that are rarely used in normal conversation. *wicked mama grin* I assure you that EN 5 doesn't occur in normal conversation for me!
there is a TO 4/8 Nef, that I saw early on, but assumed was a man's name... you might need that one.
I guess there are several different definitions of what a Babblet is then.
it doesn't occur in mine either; and I'm a nurse. :-)
i've got that one also, stid. Thanks anyway
I am finally down to 50. Like pulling teeth, this grid. *sigh* back to writing for me, then picking up the kiddo from taekwondo later (he deigned to allow such contact) -- he has been rather prickly lately. AND I get to teach 5th graders tomorrow, Nef -- Line graphs (always fun). I hope your week will also be wonderful. *gentle thoughts at hand* see you-all again soon! *poof*
take care, stid. HAGD

sorry
add a vowel to the mu5 if you have it
hey bugs and all -- got distracted -- filling out paperwork for money things. It's so depressing.
no -- have the mu 5/14, not the 5/16
paperwork of any kind is depressing. hope your day gets better
1st 3 like the band or Greek mythology, last 3 start like Julius ***sar
it will, stidkid should call in half an hour or so to let me know when to pick him up, then I can go into town and pretend to be a lady of leisure. I spent today resting and writing. :-)
oh! I didn't have THAT MU 5! LOL
great clue smores
how lovely.

yep. not bad. hope your day was good bugs?
most welcome ma lady
sorry, weirdness is taking over
slow so far because yesterday was so busy. I love slow days
taking over? Not completely finished yet smores? *rolls eyes*
looking at all the ma words
just wandering in and out of Babble
I like living in my little world
I like slow, too -- don't get many of them. Lucky had time to run away today and not get yelled at... though he did have to wait at the back door until I could be bothered to get up again! (logical consequence...)
they know me there
ch ch ch ch4 pet :)
oh! the entire right column is gray!!! :-D
hi guys- is there a list somewhere? i am down to 30 and need a push. :-)
ch ch ch ch4! I want a ch4 that looks like bob ross...
hey wolvie
lickety's up
logical consequences are not often so easy - like the advice to let your kid play outside in the snowstorm without a coat on. He will just get sick...
Molly has one on her profile
Lickety's list is for yesterday stid.
true. but he'll only get sick once... *sigh* or at least that would be the hope.
it is? bummer. it has today's date. *sigh*
but I had to take care of him and put my life on hold to do it!! not logical for me
okay- ty. :-)
oh ca4 - got all happy and it's yesterdays
that's true bugs... but of course Lucky, being a dog... (won't learn probably, but it's worth it to try)
sad but true stid
it is a mother's life
sorry smores
ma's mashed (pouteria sapota was driving me mamamamaaad)
np stid
teacher's life too --- how many kids do you think really listened when, daily, I reiterated the requirements of the assignment and the due date??? about half. Over 5 days, only half were actually ready with acceptable work on the due date. *grumble* teenagers!
M's done here too shallow - mamamia
in our schools they got all kinds of chances to retry and it has become an expectation. too many of them don't know how to work for an employer when they get a job
last ch 6/27, please?
That is my concern as well. We have hard and fast deadlines in real life. There are rarely do-overs... While I would probably in my own classroom accept late work for partial credit (since the purpose is learning), I would still have to have a cut-off at the end of the grading period!
It should have been driving you mad since it's not in the grid.
green pets with a vowel between last 2 letters
hey molly
well, down to 36 and eyes are tired. Off to play with laundry for a bit. ((bugs)) glad I caught you here. Have a lovely evening, all! *poof*
ty smores --- what an ugly, ugly grid
*!* ta da *!*
hey nan !!!!!
sy stid and YAY nan
many more like this one and I don't think I will be tuning in for this game any more. It is becoming ridiculous
bye for now stid :)
say it ain't so nan, say it ain't so!
hello all
I will be on my way unless anyone needs help ?
I agree Nan. This grid is full of more stupid, ridiculous words than I have seen in one grid in a long time.
just came in and wondering why the list and grid don't match up?
hiya praise :)
no thank you Nan
really hard without lickety
yes it is
if you missed yesterdays grid, youve got 2 games ...
lol shallow
Lickety posted yesterdays's stats last night. Technically, it was already today in Australia. That explains the disparity between the date and the list.
oh okay
for me this grid is more like sudoku rather than a word game - monkeying word after word by grid stats and alphabetical order
really frustrating
me too shallow, as I don't know so many of them..lol
im looking them all up, even if i'll have forgotten them in half an hour
Grids with Cs are always hard. At least you are getting value for money in this grid. Hours and hours of entertainment
lol...yes, especially those of us who are easily am5d
like me!
yea A's have been abolished!
hello
still here
so am i
trying to monkey my last 10...at least only 3 letters left

Peri, I have lost count of the stupid words in this thing.
agreed peri...that was my last one
still havent found it
same end as bo6
doesnt really help since thats another one of 3 im missing
ends like what we call obvious words
and you'd reckon there'd be at least one "ism" in this grid - havent had any
look for an ending that means 'sort of'
i will, thanks, dont overclue
ok, won't say anymore
oh talking about obvious endings and im ranting about isms

ty molly - wouldn't have found that one!
What is with the list page. It says Nov. 5, but is not today's puzzle. Anyone else see this?
Dear all, Frank has cancer. Right now that is all we know, will be contacting a surgeon first thing in the morning.
Oh Sue, I'm so sorry. Extra prayers out and I'm lighting a candle for you two.
so sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you both and strong hopes for a positive outcome
Oh no, Sue. My prayers are with you.
Please know that it's possible to beat cancer. My Mom did three times. I will be confident that Frank will too.
oh Sue, hugs for you both, a rocky road ahead xxx
Thank you all - I will let you all know when we know more.
godthaab. Lickety has set up to have his list generated automatically. Problem is that the US changed their clocks so his list worked on yesterdays grid. Rose has contacted him
Do you know where Frank cancer is?
I mean where is the center of the cancer.
I guess it could be abdominal as he was having ulcers treated...but I am sure Sue will let us know after they see the specialists
Probably colon but right now we can't be sure.
Huge horse race here today. Public Holiday. All the girls dressed to the nines, even Prince Charles is attending.......the rain has now started with thunderstorms to follow. Going to be a lot of girls sinking into the turf with their six inch heels and looking bedraggled with drooping hats
And they weren't ulcers, it was digestive fluids backing up due to a stricture. Self diagnosis is not actually a good idea, it turns out.
Colon cancer can be easily controlled. My hope is that it can be.
Which race, lynxxx?
Ours too, Kenny, thanks.
Had a similar issue Sue..they can do amazing stuff nowadays - hold out high hopes.
Sue, just starting and seeing your news about Frank. Prayers are sent immediately!
The Melbourne Cup Sue
Ah, I'll let Frank know, lynxxx, he loves horses.
And thanks, gmere, we really appreciate it.
Because of your description, Lyn, it almost seems worth watching the race!!!!
I am sure it will be televised somewhere Sue - you can see some of our town
Not so much the race, as the racegoers!
Are you busy at school also Sue? I can't believe it is November already and Halloween decorations put away.
That would be cool! I just expanded our cable service, so maybe we'll actually see it.
I always forget where you are from Liz - you should put a town/state on your profile
Queensland!
I'm busy, gmere, although not with Christmas, just a lot of bureaucratic stuff.
put Queensland under Location - on My Account and update it
Profile changed Lyn! I'm always very wary about what personal info I put onto the internet
Nice to meet you Liz.
Me too Liz
Same here! I'm relatively new - a couple of months - beginning of september.
hi Stidgmere
I'm not thinking of Christmas holidays yet Sue. I'm trying to organize my rooms of horrors which hold stuff from several generations of gamily.
You should ask the family to come and take what they would like - less to organise
Hi lynxxx. Always glad to see you on Chat. So you ahd lizlin can have a meet up. Glad you are enjoying the grid as well as the chat liz.
True lynxx. But the boys don't have a place for this stuff until after college I think.
Yes - people I've chatted to are really nice. I enjoy this, though tend to pop in and out during the day
well we are probably about 1700 kms apart stidgmere but who knows
Stid - I'm a 2 hour flight from Melbourne~!
But as Lyn says - who knows?
We all tend to pop in and out like meercats surveying their territory. That's Babble for you.
I drove about 2500 miles to a babble meetup this summer, it was FABULOUS.
I was showing someone the grid last night - don't think they'll join just yet but perhaps in the future
I can barely manage a 3/4 hour drive
I realize Australia is big country but on the other hand, that is okay. See Sue's note on her drive to Vancouver Island this summer. We are all likely to get on Air Australia and fly down to see you.
Driving is pretty boring sometimes unless you have someone to visit with. My daughter, Stidmama is an excellent companion. She could go with you Lynxx.
Weather here's lovely - no snow - nothing ever REALLY cold! Though I've acclimatised to QLD weather very quickly and now think 14 C is very cold!!!!
well, would love to meet Stidmama but afraid even she would not tempt me to drive all that way
where are you from originally Liz?
Okay Lynxx, I think this is calling for a Babble-in at your place.
we've talked about doing the drive sometime but taking it really slowly. I'm from London - lived here just under 4 years. Passed citizenship test 2 months ago - waiting for ceremony now. Wouldn't go back to living in UK but love to visit.
sure - there are 4/5 Babblers in melbourne actually. Jilli nearly made it over here before her accident
Oh - Congratulations Liz - Welcome to "The Lucky Country" (that sounds so old hat now)
Jilli is a tough lady. She can go anywhere. Right?
Well - the test wasn't exactly challenging - one question (they're all multiple choice) was - what language is the national language of Australia? - choice - Australian, English or Urdu (or something similar)!!!!!
Yes. And she has relatives going back a long way who are pretty well known from early 1900s
Lizlin - where in London?
Is the answer Australian? Just in case I want to take the citizen test.
North London - end of the Piccadilly Line - Cockfosters (or as an ex-Aussie colleague of mine commented - her 2 favourite things in life!)
lol!
English Stidgmere
Language def English - but quite a few word differences!
My hubby - an Aussie - taught in England, where I met him, and caused uproar in the class telling the kids to take their pants off for a PE lesson - I know that's used in the US too but in England it's trousers!
Yes, I've heard that before. I'm originally from the east end - Clapton, Hackney & Stamford Hill .
Pants are underpants
Ty lynxx. We say we speak English, too, but there are lots of variations like Liz is pointing out. I had to listen really carefully in places like Salisbury in England.
I know the area pretty well Christine - I taught in Stoke Newington for 10 years!
Do you teach now?
Took early retirement, when we moved here. Now enjoy walking on the beach and in the season, whale watching!
Still lots of family in the Stoke Newington area
are you on the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast?
Gold Coast
I have a SIL nr Noosa - well when she is home anyway
Went to Noosa for the first time this winter. Didn't have much time there - meeting up with family from Melbourne - would like to go back.
very nice - a permamnent holiday for you
Absolutely - miss London friends though but skype's great.
Your husband is from Melbourne originally?
Warrrnambool
Air fares are reasonably, I guess you will might get a few visitors from back home come over
We've had a few!
More to come, I hope.
aha - Guess that is why you are into whale watching then
We just love it. The company we go with invented a season ticket for us. We try to go once a week. Went 18 times this year. The whales are just awesome! Saw Migaloo in 2009!
for non Australians - Warnambool has great whale watching
New type of whale washed ashore in New Zealand in the news today.
wow Liz
Gold Coast is better! It's the cross over point for the southern humpback migration. We get about 15000 on the annual migration - travel north from May / June to August, then return south until november. the season just ended.
I didn't see that about the whale in NZ - will look it up.
Interesting Stidgmere - a spade-toothed beaked whale. never been seen live before. How great that we still are finding things
time to head off for a walk on the beach
bye Liz...enjoy the rest of your day
I think so too lynxxx. Usually its little creatures but this is not. Good by liz.
I should concentrate on the grid to find more words to put with the 27 found so far.
hello Mother
hey lynxxx and bye liz
You too - enjoy the cup! Have agood evening stid.I've still got 51 left to find - perhaps later! Bye :)
Hi mama.
hi Stid
:-D So I wrote 3,490 words today (my fignrs are tired) and I am done for now. I also did some laundry, but the washer died so waiting for Tom to get home and fix it. That's it. No cooking, no gardening (well, not much, I thinned the baby lettuces and bok choi), no cleaning.
how about you?
Did washing, folded clothes, worked on paperwork for dad, practiced for rehearsal, went for walk with dad and murphy, looked for voice recorders (small, pocket type). That's all.
there. FINALLY got the last corner!
moi? I have cleaned 2 rooms, babbled, hung out wask=hing, walked the dog, babbled - and avoided doing writing actually - trying to get together a 12 page booklet
wow. that's a good bit, ladies! I will do the writing lynxx, if you will do my cleaning... *hopeful look*
Oh, I DID play with lucky some today too. It was dry enough that I even opened the back door for a while and he could go in and out at will
Getting dark early now. Time to cook dinner so I'll say goodnight all.
enjoyed a day of being with my grandson who turned 2 today - helped granddaughter get through her homeworkk after school
lucky Lucky
what fun, teach!
nice wv
more fun than anything else
have a lovely evening mother -- we are having leftovers tonight. I did lemongrass chicken the other night, and then leftovers from yesterday. It will be a good meal.
goodnight Stidgmere
well. down to 28. I will wait until later to list. Probably should go iron a few shirts. My teaching clothes need replenishing. *sigh* I should have decided to teach art, or shop, or ... something dirty so I could justify jeans! LOL back later. *poof*
bye Stid
hello all. its gonna be a long painful 24 hours
whats happening Cos? or are you talking election
election.
my money is on Obama
I am just ready for these ads to be over. The perils of living in a "swing" state
hi Dan
hiya lynxxx & cos & stid & all lurkers
'baby' is looking so cute
not a swing state but the ads and the robo calls are too much
so the phone calls are not 'live' just recordings?
lynxxx - thank you! her halloween getup is at http://tinyurl.com/becetn6
A news report said my county has seen the most political ads of the year anywhere.
just recordings - computerized dialing - annoying because in the last week they come dozens of time each day
some calls are live and some are robo-calls, lynx
oh Dan - she looked gorgeous!
she was very proud of her costume choice - she meowed on request and showed her "kitty claws" (black nail polish)
we have a 'don't call' system you can register for, so stop nuisance calls. I reckon those sort of calls would qualify
no they do not lynx
actually, the US version of that system has an explicit exception for political parties & groups
we are supposedly on a don't call list but we still get the political calls and many others
the only way not to get these calls is to change ur number and not tell them or be unregistered voter. ryan changed his nbr and didnt tell them and we havent gotten a call at all this year
I'm not in a swing state, but have been getting robocalls from Democrat candidates. It's odd, because they're going to win anyways, and you'd think they'd back off in NJ given the troubles here.
or if you vote early, ur name will show up as voted complete and they wont call you.
I used to dislike chris christie but he's been decent during the aftermath of sandy.... he wont campaign.... good for him
can I have stats for the right column N?
ni 4/4
there is an ni4/4
but I don't have the other
Miss 2Kitty is adorable. : )
ni5.10
ni5/10
got both - tx all!
the japanese immigrant
ohhhhhhhh, thx
U stat please?
un4.5
oh shoot, why didn't I see that?
thanks
did someone remind lickety of time switch? he came on last night a hour before flip and put up the list from yesterday again
Rose has emailed him
hard to keep up with 4 time switches a year
y does lickety say there are 207 words today?
ah right. other countries do it different time too...
Because his list is not updated.
it has todays date thats y i am confused
see the conversation we just had Shorty
Lickety updated yesterday's list at 4:20PM our time. By then, it was the 5th in Australia. So the date and the list don't jive.
** finito ** last word SU 6/30 add another consonant at end of previous SU 5 (tree)
ohhhhhh gotcha
woo hoo wv!
Congrats wv!
and tx for the su6
wv - can you tell me the total point please
Good evening babblers. Back to finish up.
hi wht
Total points 1522.
TY Molly
can I get a clue for the last ch6/27?
ch & vwl & The end of the fat man dressed in red
ch6/27...the pet you grow seeds on + two letters that denote sexual bondage
Ignore me, that was the first.
ty lynxxx.
Molly, I was wondering about your clue. Have you been reading 50 Shades of Grey?
hmmm bondage
right on cue
i just arrived
barely got one word in
I think ruru has a finely tuned innuendo detector.
finely tuned something ...that's for sure
these m's are ridiculous
mise
sooooooorrry
en place?
last word - bo5.20 another obscure archaic scot word
by my calculation 7 mother words
bye everyone
good night lynxx
No Wht. I have no interest in bad writing.
would the book tie you up too much molly?
Yes, don't want to be bound to reading trash.
even if the book is brand spanking new?
Fireworks. And my last word was sa5,18 which would describe a wench like Molly. :^)
Aw Wht, you charmer you. : )
Any time Molly.
*risk taker*
call someone else a wench around here (without a sense of humor) and have your head handed to you.
Maybe I just don't know any better.
This is true, Ru. But this small cadre who maintain their sense of humor understand each other. Thank God for that.
And I have had a fair indication that Molly has a sense of humor.
---going to let the fireworks run for a while.. this was a weird grid
congrtulations ruru
strange words seem to congregate in small grids.
I'd say it's one of the weirdest I've ever done.
this will go down as the Al Jolson grid
hi all
hi jes
you missed all the bondage action with wht and molly
my first grid back and its an awful one.
And amazingly, there was no indignation about those Jolson words being offensive.
what?!? dangit, how do i miss all the exciting stuff?
did you video it for me?
who's al jolson?
crap..I'm dating myself
ah help please?
It was pretty tame Jes. Wht referred to me as a wench and I did not get all huffy and call him a Cyber Bully.
a + not her + **y something nice
heh. that's bondage action? i dunno about your lecher credentials suddenly, ru
thanks!
They were discussing bondage books
I'm exonerated
Well, there was a brief discussion about 50 Shades Of Bad Writing.
I came in like a sheep
ah; that's not a bondage book, ru, that's an abusive relationship/how NOT to do BDSM book
Molly started it by using s&m in a clue. And ruru came in, more like a moth to a flame.
Pure as the driven slush Ru.
well wht.. candles are phallic
some are
Yes, the cyber bullies have assembled.
*Pays attention as Jes seems to be an expert on the subject*
not the aromatherapy ones
heh. i dunno about an expert, molly. some experience there though.... :D
I laugh at them.
who's cyber bullying, bab?
I did not say anyone was.
I feel so sad. My neighbor died. She was in her late 30s/early 40s. She was a little off but very sweet.
I think we are just in our favorite Babble meet-up location. The gutter.
you said "the cyber bullies have assembled"... i was just wondering what that was about?
oh no, cos, what happened?
Last time I saw her was last night and I waved to her and walked off quickly because was too tired to listen to her :(
Cos. I am so sorry.
that is sad cos
I did not say anyone was in the gutter.
Aw Cos, sorry to hear that.
I know you didn't BR. That was an unsolicited comment on my part.
i like the gutter. it's comfy.
Many don't, and have left the site or no longer chat.
The gutter is not the thing ... that is your choice.
The bullying does go on.
Good evening!
i am perhaps oblivious (wouldn't be the first time) but i've not noticed bullying here... could you clarify what you mean?
hi car :)
HI car
I will not rehash the comments and insults .... I laugh
Hello, Car.
Hello to all!
and I will not bother again, jes.
okay. i guess I'm just confused why you bring it up if you are not willing to explain what you're referencing?
Because it goes on.
I have been a target for months
FW!!
i'm sorry to hear that. i hope i'm not one of the people you mean, as I've certainly never intended to be bullying
i'm sorry to hear that. i hope i'm not one of the people you mean, as I've certainly never intended to be bullying.
You can think what you want, jes.
Wahoo! Well done nrkii!
yay nrkii!
Sorry to hear that BR. I hadn't noticed. Either I haven't been on then or I have been exercising my super power. Oblivious Man.
wtg nrkii
If I have done something you consider bullying, it was unintentional, and I really hope you bring it to my attention.
BR, I don't disagree with you that there was a pretty tense time here in the last year. And people did leave because of it, which is unfortunate. But, I think things have been a lot better in the past month, and I'm hopeful it will continue that way.
No, I am leaving ... let those who have no consideration for others have the place.
BR...please don't leave. I will be sad.
Well now I'm just really confused.
Molly, thank you for including the list in your profile. I wouldn't have finished without it. :)
No problem Nrk. Glad to share Dee's help.
Good news here. Power came back on at home this afternoon. Heading back tomorrow. Can't wait!
Oh that is great news!
yay nrkii!
Good grief! I am now entering the names of Pokemon to try to finish the grid! Off to bed I go!
great news nrkii.
that's the great thing about Babble.. people can come and go as they please.
Good night car.
Good night all! Pleasant dreams! {{hugs}}
Night Car!
Glad to hear you got your power back Nrk. Now, let's hope this next storm doesn't stir things up again.
I'm glad to be driving back before the next storm comes. I was not looking forward to driving through it.
Do you have a lot of cleanup nrkii or is it just cleaning out whatever spoiled in your refrigerator?
halfway!
g'night, car
yay cos!
I cleaned most of it before I left town. Should be pretty good.
ah found the ma5/6 to go with ma6/7
i'm really sorry it's been such a mess in NY.. it just looks horrible on the news
Good night good folks. I will catch you later.
sleep sweet, wht
Hi again all
Hi Sue, how are you holding up?
hi sue
We are ok, Molly, our minister and her wife are coming over in a little while
That's good. Glad you have supportive people around. It helps.
Which caused us to do some housecleaning, which got our minds off things for a bit.
Also now our house is a little cleaner.
Sometimes, busy work like that is very therapeutic.
did you get biopsy results finally, sue?
Yes, cancer.
oh no
that's crappy
It sucks.
oh no i am so sorry uu
hi all
Hi jmc!
hi dear
do they think it's resectable, or is it too widespread?
i am freezing. . . my roommate thinks I keep my house cold!
Don't know yet, jes, it didn't really show on the cat scan
and the insurance issue?
They covered the earlier hospital stay, divorce wil be another month minimum
wow! i am glad they did that
Me too!
what a rough year. . .i am glad you got to go on the babbly meetup before things hit the fan there. . . let babbleland know what we can do to help besides fold @ home and pray
Will do, jmc, thanks!
hugs to you and Frank both, Sue
Thanks, jes!
well just dropped in for a minute. . . must get up around 4 to get to polls on time. . . see you after they close if not before. . . *poof*

Hi lbd, not so good by us
i really hope you have good options and caught this early sue

I hope so too, ruru. I'll be contacting the surgeon the GI doc recommended first thing in the morning.
Frank has cancer, jes
oh no. sending my t's and p's that it has been found early and is "curable".
Thanks, lbd
Well, I am half way but have no 7 or 8

(the 8 is also ch, but i don't have it yet)
Hmmm

wow, that was a convoluted clue.

Oh, I know...life got in the way!
How are you doing?

hi again. (((Sue & Frank))) I just thought I'd stop by on the way tobed and read about Frank now, sue. Healing thoughts and prayers coming your ways
I am well -- down to one kid at home, and he seems to be turning the corner as far as academics, which is hopeful. I am working as many sub days as I want (would prefer full-time in my own classroom, but content for now)... and life is good. You?
hey Nef (((hugs))) how's the finger/hand?
am 4/7 please :(
I took a nap this afternoon, had a pain pill a while ago, not hurting much but am a bit looped right now
nap sounds nice -- I didn't because I was going to pick up the kiddo, then he called and didn't need a ride. oh well.
sorry you're looped.
hey cos
found the am4 so never mind.. hi all
am + ** (southern nickname, or 2/3 of male child)
LOL hey cos
ty anyway :)
there. NOW I have all the S words. :-)
I am good now. 10/27 I got hit by a drunk driver at 10:30 a.m. He ran a red light. The force of his car caused my van to spin and then rollover. I was banged up and bruised but no broken bones and thankfully no one was with me. My little red van didn't fair as well. She served us well and helped to save my life. Oh and we got an offer on our house this evening so right now, all is well with us too.
help with the last two ca6?
Does any know if Expert is down?
oh no! gee whiz, nonnie, I am SO glad you are not harmed, but how scary! *gentle hugs* I am glad you got an offer for your house, too.

Expert is up, but Lickety is off a day and a couple hours. The current grid he has is for this one, but dated for the next

In Aus the date is accurate - it's the afternoon of 6 November!

Thank you stid and nef and we're keeping our fingers that this offer goes thru! I'll be back in a minute. I'm going to see why I can't get on expert.

You're not familiar with Hindu principles??
Evidently I should be, torg! It's a good principle.
the first official votes have been counted. Obama has 28 (66%) and Romney has 14 votes (33%). Two tiny towns in New Hampshire always votes at midnight. Both towns have under 100 residents.
It's a landslide!
Can I please get a clue for the n in the last column?
n + vowel + spanish yes
and for the ni5 add a vowel before last vowel from ni4
Thanks Cos...got them both from that
yw!
That at least gives me nbt and nbs. Going to bed now so I can get up early and go vote. Will probably face long lines here in Florida
good luck! its gonna be insane.. try and go vote early ..avoid lunch time voting
Now that I'm retired I can go any time. Used to go after work and never had a problem. I think this year will be different.
I voted early. Wanted to avoid long lines and drama lol
Aww, I missed stid. I voted by mail a week ago. ;)
Here in FL early voting meant very long lines and lots of drama
ahhh we got our ballots in mail and we drove and dropped them off at ballot box on curbside of election division
