stats for the 9, anyone?
Hi jmc, Karen, smores and Sue.
Babble is a wonderful place. I sent the link from Marial (NJ resident) about out-of-town voting to my old friends last night. They are not babblers but sent an email from their hotel in PA to thank her for the fact that they now knew what to do about voting by email. Babble is so much more than agame, as I've said many times.
HI. AND WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHooo
Mitch listed earlier 9's are cr/ro/me
Right one, herin!!!
ro/cr/me are the 9's nan
don't have any yet...lol
*Right on
Wooohooo to you herin...lol
did I say nbt?
ty mitch
I sure didn't :)
Sorry but Obama in makes me very very happy. Is there word on what base the senate is yet?
Senate is even more democrat, herin, BUT congress is still Rebublican -- hope not as stubborn as before.
me too herin, only reason I'm up right now...lol
Congress sorry. Not terribly good with the terms of the USA politics
Hi, jilli?
Not sure if Senate is democrat enough to prevent filibusters
I pray not jilli
Hi neil -- rejoicing?
Hi everyone
Very relieved with the results, yes.
hiya liz
you pray not what, smores?
Hi liz
lol..that congress isn't as stubborn
I think most of the world is rejoicing.
I am finding it purely wonderful and I do hope my friend didn't die knowing that others like him will be able to not be alone and marry whom they want gender wise. This is my hope for Aus politics
oh yes, smores, lol
No doubt. psst... see last update for today, so far.
did you smoke one to celebrate WA and CO vote? LOL Jilli
not seeing any of those 9's
smores, I don't smoke ANYTHING, lol, but glad about the weed ok
Neil? still quit the smoking?
nbt and half way - off to hear what Obama has to day. See you tomorrow :)
I was just kidding jilli
be back after speech
Will that be on the Aus tv. Back in a few
me too
Is it on the net?
be back tomorrow to tackle the rest of this. Nite all!
on TV in Canada, herin
Yes, Karen... if you're still here?
Just came up for a little air.
And... tea. Or maybe hot chocolate?
I got it online.
great, herin
As our tv is stupid. I swear I am bawling as this is so creaking awesome.
I have wet eyes too
I am watching a live stream on the net
me three
very proud of our president
what a wonderful world when we are all so close
My sister is or was in the military. She has lost three of her troops in Afghanistan.
Live stream of his acceptance/victory speech: http://tinyurl.com/b58akbc
yep, australia, canada and us, all moved at the same rousing speech
I have it from the Sydney herald paper. cNn doesn't allow outside cast
proud to be a BritAMERICanadian
fireworks
Actually here's a better link to the direct podcast: http://www.ustream.tv/channe\nl/522594
nice, Mitch
So you don't have to scroll down a page to see it.
Too me il when gay marriage is allowed maybe Aus can get with the programe.
Ugh. Remove that "\n" first.
i don't know why Babble adds that.
Yes, herin.
That's an issue rather "close to home" here.
gay marrige is ok in enlightened Canada
My best friend told me 'if I turn 30 and I am alone that is it I am done' he died alone at 29. I badly want gay marriage to became legal. Then My sister and my friends can get married to their girlfriends
I also want to see former great cities like Detriot return to greatness.
As it should be everywhere jilli.
inclusion! hope! opportunity!
Exactly!
Wow - awesome!!!
Great spreech. Great man. Great country. Great hope for all.
Yes.
Wow -- that was some speech!!!
aww herin, so sorry about your friend
It sure was, Erda. :)
Hi Neil!!
the only thing that couldve make the speech better was if it was a couple hours ago...lol
I reeeally need to get some sleep
Hi Erda! :)
Haha, smores.
Yeah, pretty late if you're on the east coast.
midwest - 2am
Late enough here now. *yawn*
I don't want to hear any pundits give any critiques of this wonderful speech.
Oh I see.
Smores he had problems but if one soul here gets to find and are legally able to join a life mate then I will be happy
alarm goes off at 6:45 :(
Ours goes off even earlier. Ugh.
Well i am fairly sure bosses will be forgiving for being late
get thee to bed, ms smores and dream sugarplum dreams !
herin, that's so sad about your friend -- and many others who have suffered fro being themselves
Yes, it sure is.
Hits very close to home... obviously.
of course, neil.
*waves to the crowd*
doesnt matter "for or against" why the hell is it anyone elses business
the old-fashioned idea that marriage is about procreation as well as financial support is archaic. Marriage should be about mutual support of two individuals who choose to love each other and create a family unit.
in my opinion, of course ;)
Hi RU
I may stop being teary and shaking soon
i concur with you mich
well said
I just toasted him in a tiny bit of brandy -- a rare thing for me to do, because he is a rare example of an excellent human being.
never understood the whole " well I think...." who cares what you think, let people be
oh Jilli, you are such a dear
ru?
I asked you something on GT.
yes.. Hi
Jill unlike some people that commit suicide at least I got a good bye from him. He is at peace now with his demons. I just desperately want gay marriage to be recognised in Aus.
i'm not on GT
There are many of my ancient friends who have married late in life, so "marriage is ordained for the procreation of children" is laughable.
No kidding. Something wrong?
You just suddenly left there earlier.
no.. just got here late watching the election stuff
I wanted to see the results
Sorry to hear about your friend herin... what happened to him?
hello ruru -- I do hope you're happy with the result
Yes. I mean when you were on earlier, ru? Oh... check the last of my updates for today, btw.
Jillibus, I was just about to make that point - about procration. However, when I had my flu shot last month, one of the questions asked was 'are you pregnant' - must have that special glow about me.
That was some speech ru... did you catch it?
yes.. it was pretty good
Romney was reeling
And yes to what you said about marriage for procreation, jilli... exactly.
oh, how lovely, Christine!
he couldn't believe he lost
Yep. :)
He had bipolar. He was a gay man. He had his demons. His father never accepted him. He had two sides. His family which knew little of his friends. I knew both worlds. He said he was sorry to hurt me and that was his goodbye. I am blessed that he was here for the 10 years I knew him. I am blessed that Gay Rights has come along a long way.
You mean he took his own life? :(
uh.. what?
Yes herin... so are a lot of us.
Yes he did
[glad/blessed that gay rights has come a long way]
Still has a way to go yet though.
Oh no herin... that's awful. :(
We knew someone who did that too, not that long ago. Kinda hard to process.
Awful yes but he did it because he was in pain. I understand that yes incredibly selfish but sometimes life just doesn't work
And that is why Obama winning is so darn moving for me. Maybe Aus can wake up and have equal rights for all
Well I think it's tragic that he took that route instead of finding a way or ways to make it work.
we all wish that for you and your countrymen, herin
Yes, sure hope so.
on that note, I'm knackered. Good night and have a happy tomorrow
Night, mich.
Neil He was ill.
a minister friend of mine was once approached by a rather extreme individual after a conference and asked " what about this bi-racial crap, God don't want people of different races marrying, you don't marry different races do you?"
Happy tomorrow.
Oh, seriously ill.. no hope?
omg smores
You're kidding, smores? Wow. :(
Yep Neil
WOW Smores.
neil, herin said he was bipolar
I'll never understand that "thinking". EVER.
Why do I feel that Obama's speech is up there with MLK
my friend politely answered " I've never married anyone that wasn't apart of the human race"
because it is, herin
because their both black?
Yes, jilli. I wondered if she meant he was physically ill as well though? But that can be very debilitating.
"they're" ;)
sorry
Good for your friend, smores.
not funny, ruru
they're
Ru tsk tsk. Obama is a latte man MLK was dark milk kind of guy. Both delicious to listen too.
lol..herin
I'm sorry, but Obama's speech was really good, it wasn't another I had a dream speech
No it wasn't but it was once again memoriable. The kind of 'getting shite done like a boss sort of speech
Agreed, ru.
Neil are you on FB?
Not quite, maybe, but it did give a glimpse of Obama's dream for a newer America and world.
..here's hopin.. jilli
I am but I don't connect with anyone there, herin. I don't use FB at all, because of the security risk it is. I emptied out my page some time ago and am waiting for the rest of my college alumni to connect elsewhere, before I delete the account.
I just hope that awful Congress will let it be, let it be...
I'm game for a newer america
Ok
let's hope so jilli
i'm sorry about your friend herin
suicide is an aggressive act though
he must have been in a lot of pain
Ru I said it because when someone says that 'gay marriage is legalised' I think 'good because people should have rights regardless of whom they want to marry
Yes. He must've been. Like the person we knew who just did that several months ago.
Of course they should.
I think Gay people should be allowed to get married
I can't understand anyone thinking they shouldn't.
No kidding ru.
It's incredible that it isn't legal in our whole country
What is it to anyone else if they want to marry? How does that affect other people?
Isn't it though?
He died in 2005 and I understood him and his demons. Mental illness is as insidious as cancer yet because it is on the inside and not that understood
Speaking of which... it's my brother and his b/f's 2 year anniversary of being together, today. Or was... since today's nearly over now.
Yes herin, I think that's very true.
AWWW. When is he coming to Aus or is he here already?
Bi-polar is a tough one herin
Because it's mental and not physical, so much less is understood about it.
He was just there not too long ago.
high functioning and then deep depression
Twice, in fact.
I find it best to describe bi polar as that kid you knew as a kid that would race about high as a kite on red drinks then crash out. We all had one of those friends as a kid
Take 40 Live Lounge, Sydney: http://tinyurl.com/9qhsjlh
we have a close friend who is bi-polar..
I've learned a lot from him
And that was on August 22, herin.
Tell the brother Neil that Melbourne has better coffee than Sydney.
Yes. They go from extremes... manically happy, to manically depressed.
Happy Anniversary to Adam and his BF
Aww he has dyed his hair blonde
He was just in Melbourne a few weeks ago, after New Zealand.
He did, but it's mostly grown back now. It grows fast!
I vaguely remember there was an event he was signing at (i have enough troubles remembering what day it is sometimes)
It's mostly dark now with the blonde at the ends [top] creating "highlights".
There would have been several.
I wasn't there. I'm not working on this one... I just started a full-time job here not that long ago.
Singing not signing. Bah
Oh, haha. Well he does that too [signing]. :P
I do think there was a few girls having a good scream when every he makes an appearance.
Oh yeah. *rollseyes*
Dont you just love over enthusiastic teen girls screaming (not)
getting sleeeepy -- heading for bed -- goodnight/evening all...*poof
good night jilli
must sleep
Goodnight Jilli. Sleep well
Night Jill
nite jilli
nice video by the way neil
Ummm, nope. @herin
Wow smores, thought you were gone already?
I think you saw it before?
yes, I have
yes, I have
Morning all. 370, really? Wish this one had been saved for a weekend!
hiccup
And good night jilli... but you're probably gone.
Bore da Glantarell. And yep... 370 of them.
Have FUN. I know I did. ;)
Are you happy with the result of *whispers* the elction?
You know it. Check my updates for today... on profile.
Neil. I used to work in security. I found it so amusing when there was these really hot girls in a VIP room and a few D list celebrities. The guys couldn't keep their eyes in their head and were made to go else where. All the while I get a massive bear hug from an ex footballer and they got all jealous. I was like 'huh' who is that'
Did also met Bill Hunter a few years back and he was lovely. I tend to turn into a complete idiot around awesome people
today's update isn't showing Neil. Perhaps it will later when I open up babble a second time.
Hi Glant too
Hi Herin, long time no see
Hi. I have been lurking
:-)
molar
oops
You have to scroll down a little, Glant... Nov. 6.
sinking your teeth into the grid glant?
ah, i was looking for 7th, so didn;t read 6th LOL
Careful. It may bite back.
chomping away ruru
I meant "yesterday" now I guess... to you. Not to us for another 8 minutes.
as long as you're not an indentured servant
Ugh. :P
Not yet indentured :-)
I think ru's tired. ;)
I know I am. *yawn*
I have yet to put one word in
I just got up LOL but have to go to work soon. Fresh coffee and babble for breakfast first.
No way, herin?
26 for me so far Herin. Are you scared of starting LOL
Yep way. too busy farting about. I just got 9 then
*opens herin's windows*
Oh, ok. I was gonna say, there's a lot of very easy to find words in this one.
Haha, ru.
Ru that would mean I would be then a fart in a bottle and just fluffing about. I am really not thinking. My shoulder is being annoying
*sprays Febreeze around*
Or is it "Febreze"? Yeah, think that's it.
what's the matter with your shoulder?
Farteze
fart in a bottle would be a nifty trick
Hahahahaha!!! Good one, Glant. ;)
Don't light a match to it.
Maine and Maryland approved same-sex marriage at the polls, and it's looking like it'll pass in Washington state too. :)
yeah Maryland
Sitting wrong on a very comfy chair is the problem. I get badly comfortable. Like when a cat bends in directions it really doesn't look right but is
I can see my problem with this grid is going to be missing the plurals (again)
the ban in Minnesoita failed. WA - it won . vicory in all4 states
oh, so good news from MN too :D
What did they try to ban in Minnesota?
Hey Seain. :)
carol shea porter is returning to conrgess :)
glan: gay marriage
Banning things is never a brilliant idea, just brings out the stubborn in people
evening, neil
Well especially things people should naturally have the right to do. Duh.
Like anyone can help being gay?
i don;t see why two people who want to make a legal commitment to each other should be prohibited. Sex, gender, colour should not affect it.
glad to see some states coming to their senses. Hope many more will - here too
no kidding even Minnesota fans run around in horns and loin clothes
And like there's anything wrong with being gay?
cloths
I live in Virginia, which has such a ban, in Article 1, Section 15A of the Constitution of the Commonwealth, alas.
I don't understand why any straight person would have a problem with that... what is it to them? [speaking as a straight person, with a gay sibling]
Nothing wrong with being gay, bisexual, transexual or any other orientation - we are all people after all
It's kind of like CIvil rights all over again
yup
indeed, ruru
lyrical clue nobody asked for:
Saloon, Saloon, Saloon. It runs through my brain like a tune. I don't like cafe, And I hate cabaret, But just mention saloon and my cares fade away. For it brings back a fond recollection of a little old low ceiling room. With a bar, and a rail, and a dime, and a pail. Saloon, saloon, saloon.
gm babblers:)
morning shallow
morning shallow
Sorry - sorry sorry - I was in the middle of editing and the whole thing slipped away.
*sends Jw to PB*
i like it
Oh wait.. we don't have a PB any more
i think we should - io kinda liked it in there
No kidding, Glantarell... to what you said at 1:59.
and i was in thee often enough :-)
*head hung in shame* - I'll pass thru PB on my way to workIt's a grand old song, though.
We don't, ru? Did someone blow it up?
well, it's 3AM -- i should sleep. A friend died, so our household his attending a memorial for her tomorrow, so i should be up at a reasonablish hour.
g'night/day and happy babbling, yall! :)
I wish I knew the tune
shame with all the food that seemed to be in it!
night dc
take care
night dc
We had a penalty box just the day before yesterday - Dee assured us that there werer Heath bars and malted milk balls in it!
Because you all know that allowing Gay people to marry is the end of the world and civilisation. But it is ok for a Kadashian whore to crap all over the sanctity of marriage or for a politician to have numerous affairs..'
the food (and drink, and cabana boys) was why I liked it liz
wow.. gay marriage and kim kardashian in the same sentence
You know I am jus saying
if I knew who kim kardashian was i might understand that remark - sounds like a character form star trek
If I had to marry Kim kardashian ..i'd probably be gay
Glant she is another reality tv vapid waste of air
kim kardashian is americas answer to Posh spice glant
But Kim has a really nice butt
i don't do reality tv, as you probably gathered. in fact i don't have a tv, i watch the occasional show on the web
*bought them*
My tv is mostly used as a pc monitor.
my laptop screen is occasionally used as a tv ;-O
i object to paying £150 a year to own a tv
Our TV was just for watching DVDs until we recently got cable... since we're both working again.
And until we bot the cable hooked up we watched occasional shows online.
How does that work Glant?
Holy crap, Glantarell? That's ridiculous.
okay.. i'm tossing in the towel for tonight
It's the TV license thing they have in the UK.
good night all
I wouldn't pay it.
they use the 'licence fee' to subsidise the BBC
Yeah I have to head to bed in a few myself.
you have to pay it if you 'watch tv as it is braodcast, on any device'
Night ru.
So you don't have free tv?
night ruru
Night Ru
can i please have a clue for the 8 and 9s
Ha. Then I'd watch it as it's broadcast... online.
You can watch livestreams of many shows now.
if they catch you they take you to court and the fine can be £1000
livestream is what is illegal
they have been to see me several times but i am refuing to let them into my house without a warrant
co8,75 -- co + "to worry", plural and with double 1st consonant. Can't think how else to clue that.
It is, Glant? Wow.
i've told them i have no tv (shock, horror, unheard of) and don;t watch live tv on any device
Not here. I've watched a lot of shows online that way for free.
It depends. Some TV stations actually broadcast a live stream of whatever they're airing.
the letters they send are really threatening
Geez. :/
i have got a stubborn on wth them now
But here we don't pay a TV license... maybe that's why they don't do that here, but do there?
We just pay for the cable service we get.
so i am polite when they call but they treat you as guilty until proven innocent
thanks neil
What, they've been suspecting/accusing you?
Sigh I have to house hunt again. After this house got all sorted
i have pointed out that i don't have to tell anybody i don;t have a fishing rod, gun, car, or any other thing which needs a licence here, why should i have to prove i have no tv?
You have to move, herin?
sorry to hear that herin
Yeah really Glant? That's ridiculous.
it is
You need a license to own a fishing rod there?
Like... seriously?!
Yep. We refuse to pay $1560 a month for here.
you need a licence to fish in most places - most of our rivers and lakes are privately owned
Which is about $390 a month for a 3 bedroom no yard
Ouch, herin. That's even more than our rent and we're in W. Hollywood, L.A. It's a 1-bedroom apartment though, yours probably isn't?
Nope ours is a house but no yard.
Oh I see. That's cheap for a house!
Are you looking for another house or an apartment?
Hi Glantarell I do not have a TV either since 1986. You just have to be careful not to watch anything labelled "Live" on internet. One time they sent me a letter I wrote back and said "come and visit my street with your detector van and see how many have TV and pay nowt. Then waste my money chasing me." Just the occasional note since and no arguments.
What every we can find
i know exactly what the rules are scouser and i don;t break them :-)
Haha, scouser. And... hi?
First we are going to rejig all our stuff
i am getting a letter most weeks abd have had 3 visits so far. i refuse to put it in writing to them
don't see why i should pay the cost of a stamp or phone call to them to tell them i'm law abiding
We both had to get rid of a lot of stuff before we moved in together, into this little place. But it's amazing what you accumulate after you do that... ugh. Especially SHOES. And they're not mine, either. I live with Imedla Marcos' twin. :P
No neither do I Glantarell. Not worth it. They must get knickers in a knot over mobile-phones though that can now pick up Live via internet?
"Imelda" even... yep, I'm tired.
they must, i don;t see how they can catch people doing that LOL
We threw out a 4x4 metre skip last year
"Imedla?" haha.
but why would you want to watch TV on something so tiny
why can't i find the no4? i'm sure i've tried every combination LOL
only to see who won the election in America !?
Oh no, scouser. You get charged a fee for data usage if you pick up live internet on a cellphone.
Obama. Great acceptance/victory speech too. :)
See my updates on profile... Nov. 6.
Yes that's true so that means they can check up on one. I don't know whether they do or not and I don't risk it knowingly.
Oh damn. I forgot to add one.
Glant: the no4 is sort of like lonely with a different letter at the start
finally found it
rhymes with a brand of mints
:-)
NBT
Neil if you can imagine we threw out - 16 66 Gallon sized bins or about 6 trailer loads last year
I hoard books - loaded bookshelves make great thermal insulation in a ro4
i abandoned 75% of my books when i moved in february - heartbreaking but i don;t have space here
We have a whole library. THe plan is to fit everything into two rooms instead of three
We are planing now on everything. At least the house is clean and tidy.
Wow herin. How did you have that much stuff?!
I have a rule which helps me - only buy something if you know where it is going to go
and, everything in your hosue should be useful or beautiful (even better if it's both)
Haha scouser... I bet they do. And books are just great to have arouond of course. ;) I love books.
Mostly useful herin but yeah... both is ideal.
I think one day my fl4 might descend into the fl4 below?
Hopefully not, scouser! Yikes.
i can see it now scouser
Hey scouser... since you're such a bookworm? Are you on Goodreads yet?
In the fl4 below a previous owner took out part of a wall which worries me sometimes. I don't load that part of the fl5
my way round the books thing is that i've finally been converted to rading on my iPad so the books i have now are only books i know i'll read agaain
*reading
Yeah I wouldn't either, scouser.
We merged two houses into one Neil.
Not yet Neil - but a neighbour has a friend who is a critic with excellent taste who reviews crime books and passes them on. A brill source of fiction.
I was reading on my iPod touch... until... :/ And don't ask ruru what happened to that. Just... don't. :P
Yeah. We did that with our effects too, except we had 2 apartments' worth of stuff. A lot of it went.
it fell in the bathtub?
two friends have lost iPhones to the toilet this week - am i on the right lines here?
Nope. And hi, Matt! Haha.
If you log into MSN I'll tell you. :P Not here though.
Nope Glant... nothing involving water.
I was going to say that fiction just passes through here but ........ bad timing.
i said hello, but went into the grid after - think you overlooked
Oh I may have been elsewhere at that moment, Matt. I've been on and off of here.
never mind
?
love the scouse sense of humour
Neil I moved from a one bedroom place into a share house that was 4 bedrooms and a Harry Potter room. Then the weeks leading up to moving all turned to crap with housemates breaking up and such and then we lost power in the week of moving. So we bundled everything up and bailed
There is a little book called "Wirs Ya Sensa Youmer?" written in phonetic scouse language. I believe the nearest American equivalent to scouse is how they speak in the Bowery?
well, i suppose i'd better go and earn a living, see you tonight
my family are all scouse and i miss the humour
Later Glant
bye
have a nice day glan
Sounds messy, herin.
Cheers Glantarell
Take care, Glant.
It was that is why we had so much stuff. We got our stuff plus extra bits and pieces. You know I swear papers left alone bred
That's funny, scouser... phonetic scouse language.
I don't know about papers, but dust bunnies sure do.
Also living with role players it is amazing how many trees died in that houser
dust bunnies = fluff bunnies = widgies = flizzers = fuzzers = fluff-balls ..... any more names for those ever-present lurkers-under-the-furniture creatures?
we call them (literal translation) wool-mice
not sure about paper breeding, but it certainly divides itself into ever-decreasing sized scraps
which country you in Shallow-One?
germany
Wool mice. :)
so it will sound similar? lovely word
dust bunnies in New Jersey
As I have long hair, they must be hair-mice here
shall i do phonetics for you? would come out like vollmoizeh
Dust bunnies in California too.
Marais - naturally they come from jersey....
I would know how to pronounced it if you wrote in in the normally spelled German, Matt.
"pronounce", even
Excuse typos... I'm tired.
woll-mäuse
Your Jersey or my Jersey?
and the phonetics was of course for scouser
angora is best
found a me 8
Thank you Shallow-One. I have an angora blanket which we watched being made hairy in the traditional way by combing it over a board loaded with the heads of teazle-plants.
please can someone clue a 9 for nbs and nbt
reheated hamburger = win
Is the me8 a compound word?
ro9,60 -- ro + Mary had a little ***b + dogs and cats sometimes get ear *****. [plural word]
Unless you already have that one, Jenny?
Neil - a nice example of a trade name becoming an ordinary word, like biro.
Hi all!!!! very late flip....NBT/NBS
Hi dizi
Well I cant find any more. Take care
you as well Herin xx
Awake and unable to get back to sleep so thought i would check in. How odd that the number of words is the same as the house number of my childhood home,hmmm
What is, scouser?
its a sign, mcurl.....you will finish this one...LOL
Maybe diz but at this point just shooting for half!
I give up. Been waiting for ND Senate to be called but nah not for another week or so.
a
sorry Neil. got into grid there. ro8 and ro9
Are the Ro8 and Ro9 compound words?
NM...just checked the log...clues already given..lol
yay is all I can say!
Morning Ruby :-)
hi ruby, zooz

see you later, kids
lunch time with grumpy husband (guess why?)
how obvious are the clues, zooz? havent dared to check yet
Helo Shallow One.
The Ro8 and Ro9 clues are nice and easy.
but also wasnt succesfull in finding a 9 either
ok, then ill keep puzzling on without them for a bit

Shalom. Is anyone there?
hello all

Hi Sprite. I'm in the US visiting family. How are you and your family? We here are celebrating Obama's victory.
am so happy he won. Was kinda scared of that other guy. I and mi4 are well. I hope you are having a lovely visit!
They don't call him Bronco for nothing! Yay Obama!
hiya godthaab :)
Hi!
hi go
Hi S.O.
was it a big win?
No
hello Molly
Not big enough. The Senate is with him, the House of Representatives has a majority from the other side.
ouch. Won't be easy for him then. Still, better than the other way around.
you're right!
nayone know the stats for the bottom n? I'm stumped

hiya ruby, how did it go?
hi ruby :)
good for you smiling!

it is a wonderful grid today
good morning all
hiya teach
hiya teach :)
hello teach
Hi wv
Hi teach
and ruby
can anyone give me a definition for fl8/60? please no spell-it-out-clues
it is sunny and freezing here! can hardly type, hands are so cold
25 F here
don't have it yet, sorry Shallow
sorry shallow - don't have it
brrr, scrabbler
we are like NY State, then
teehee sprite
ok, thanks for the try
very cold and grey here.
We have had snow on 4 of the last 6 days--dustings
it's funny because we still have roses
so glad I moved to australia
*winks at smores*
no snow or ice here
10c, sunny streaks - quite mild for nov here
smart lizlin
:)
but don't you have unbearable heat, Liz?
Where did you live previously, lizlin?
<-----loves roses
it's not too bad. can be humid in summer but aircon and fans help. I lived in london and left the day before it got snowed in for a week in Jan 2009
I have a neighbor from London, has been here 25 yrs.
I just got invited to London for a party in Dec and am trying to work out how I can go
great timing :) I can do cold. But too much heat I don't know how to handle.
some family in London and they give great parties!
hot night times would be unbearable without a fan in the bedroom
how lovely, ruby!
and I used to think summer nights in london were hot!
be great if you can get to the party
I do not like extreme heat and humidity. 70's F is good for me
good grief, Liz, I can't imagine even hotter nights. Wouldn't sleep a sec
and they're inviting my son from Texas; we'll see if he can make it too
I don't mind heat (here, maybe 10 days/year), just don't like wind
the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! walking on the beach and whale watching.
20 to 25 Celcius, a gentle breeze, I would take every day.
be right back
it doesn't often get over 30 C where we are
sounds like a lovely plan, ruby. About ti4 you got away for a couple of days if you ask me
Good morning. Granddaughter has day off from school and is coming over. We're going to bake bread
and there's often a breeze
fl8 is a biochemical term - found it
{{bichon}} what a lovely day plan!
Hi bichon. love making bread - enjoy yourselves
sounds good, bichon, hi :)
Hi Bichon
I haven't decided bread or rolls
Liz, I have been to Dubai once and I couldn't believe the heat and humidity. It was like walking around with a couple of wet blankets around me.
shallow - can you clue the fl 8 pls?
And at 140/230 I must get ready and leave for work in 10 minutes. Bye kids. ENjoy the day.
Hi and bye Scrabs
bye Scrabs, have a grand day
hi and bye scrabs
correction - nothing to do with biochemistry. rather roman rituals. thats how one gets mistaken if words are monkeyed with the list ... ;)
it's not often that bad here - or it doesn't seem so
bye scrabs
I wouldn't mind the heat if I had a beach and whales!!!!
bye scrabs
I don't feel guilty after 30 years of teaching primary school in london
guilty? Of course not! Enjoy it... you earned it .
I do :) whale watching is awesome!
I would love that too :)
if you ever get the opportunity, go for it without hesitation - best if sea is calm though
I definitely will some day. Got some friends I'd really love to meet.
okay - back for a bit
wb smores :)
hello everyone

gm, everyone!
hiya dawg :)
hiya, sprite. rays of sunshine are always good, even when they are just little glimmers. (((hugs)))
my philosophy exactly :) *hugs* right back at you
Hello, lbd
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. Steve Martin
*giggle* Hello, BR.
lol
9's are hiding...
cr 9 is a plural

ro 9 also is a pl
fireflies. Not bad for a biggie.

hi teach
Hello WV!
halfway, NBS and NBT - going to play music for the morning - BBL
Bye WV! Enjoy the music!
WTG - sweet sweet music - enjoy teach
Hello, Car ... you think the rain will ruin the rutabagas?
Good morning BR! Perhaps. I am more concerned about the wind.
Is that the northeaster predicted?
Yup
Ahhhh...just instilled my new eyedrops....
But now everything is blurry!
eye drops are supposed to deal with inflammations?
I saw the eye doctor yesterday. No dirt in my eyes, but some sort of allergic thing going on, so yes, it should relieve the inflammation and itch. I also have to be tested for glaucoma.
Hope you test negative for glaucoma.
Just a baseline. Should be OK, but we do have it in our family.
any idea what your allergic to?
Seems odd to me that the doctor could not test you for glaucoma yesterday.
Looking back, this kind of coincides with us turning the heat on in the house, which is forced hot air, so I am not surprised.
They do a series of tests and need the have the time to do them. No biggie. It is right down the street.
down the street is a curious thing for me ... do you need a ladder? Are there steps?
LOL! No, just my car.
probably good to wait until your eyes are less iratated
lol...Irritated
can't spell or type today
Yup. I have to throw out all my eye makeup and buy fresh stuff too.
that sucks
I'm psyched! shopping spree!
lol
I suppose I should toss the stuff I use to braid my beard ... don't need and beard allergies
No! We can't have that!
stats please for the N?
Lower N that is....
NM! Got it...as usual!
The first 300 went fast .... the last seventy would have been easier to find if they hadn't been so hard to find
Stoopid words!
You finished?
yeah
Well done!!!!
WTG BR!!!

Molls!
Hi Hego. Been traveling again?
ty for me 7.
Just went to Philly to escape Sandy.
Hope this next storm doesn't bother you too much.
It's so bad in this area. All along the coast are under mandatory evacuation today.
Hi, all! I'd give anything for a storm here in Phoenix---we are sooo dry. Feels like the earth is gasping.
Hi Mimi
Hi, hego!
Hello again! Hi Hego! Hi Molly! Hi Mimi!
BTW, hego, I briefly attended Univ. of Pa back in the 70's. Small world. Hi, car!
Hi Car!
It is a small world Mimi.
Half of the shore was holed up in Philly.
Cheesesteaks for all!
yay
Also, hego, I was a medical transcriptionist for 30 years. The world just got even smaller!
OMG...now I want one!
Mimi...I am a medical transcriptionis!
*transcriptionist!
I made a cauliflower, potato, onion, chicken and cheese casserole yesterday and am about to have it for breakfast---yum.
Wow, car---really TINY world!
sounds good
My specialty was radiology. What is your area of expertise, car?
Ophthalmology, Arthritis, ENT and Pulmonary. I mostly just do Ophthalmology and Arthritis these days.
Here in Phoenix my job was replaced by voice recognition technology. Well, the computer can spit out a report but it doesn't listen for content and won't catch the dr's mistakes, right?
rears
sounds dicey to me.
uh oh!
Yup. I sometimes use it for long dictations so I don't have to type as much, but I still have to correct a lot of things.
Sorry, forgot to change to add the word.
happens all the time.
Have many senior moments and am only 61. My eidest says if I ever get Alzheimer's they won't be able to tell the difference....smart aleck kid.

*disgruntled Republican*
oh.
*disgruntled Independent*
what, *now* you're disgruntled? LOL
well.. until they get rid of the far right against women's rights.. they're not going anywhere
I suppose I should say more disgruntled.
Uhg. Let's not start.
mostly they're serving up whackos besides Mitt
*Commiserates with Judi*
sorry
it's true though
out of respect for those present, i will not dump on the republicans just now
Just not looking forward to the fiscal cliff and further descent into the socialist welfare state of life for Americans.
S'okay, Gwen. We've been dumped on for the past four years. What's four more?
just elected a non-partisan republican judge.
nice weather we're having . . .
I kind of agree with that Judi
its' gorgeous out today.
There's not much of a choice in politics these days
Hey the Republicans come in handy for ole Barry. Without them, who would he have to blame?
LOL, Gwen. Nice segway.
Time for puppy and kitty stories.
On the up side, I'm down to 51 words.
I didn't vote for President
I have 45 left.
I have two cats.
Might take a vacation to Colorado so I can light up a spliff and mellow out.
*puts on Jamaican music for judi*
Can someone braid my hair?
I respect that Ru. You should only vote for candidates you believe in.
I didn't like either to be honest
I left it up to the rest of the country
♪Get up, stand up ♫
hey mon judi
Either way, the voters have had their day. Now we all have to live with the consequences.
I guess
that's true
at least Oprah is happy
Of course Oprah is happy. She's rich. Silly irrelevant cow that she is.
*Wonders how many people voted for Obama because Oprah endorsed him*
...but I'm not bitter. *takes long inhale of virtual ganja* Can't we all just get a bong?
everything will be irie mon. pass the dutchie to the left
.... by the rivers ... of babylon... wooooo wooo oooo oooo
tadone
See, if we would all follow Colorado's lead, no one would care who is President.
imbibing cranberry juice and town house crackers, thank you

And stock in Twinkies and Cheetos would sky rocket.

I'm already sick of the rocky mountain high jokes.
teehee
so am i.. all the articles start out with something like "theyre' already a mile high but the state voted to...."
Its all good news today :)
india,you must not be hearing the weather forecast I am. Not at all good news
we have our first openly gay senator.
yikes whats the forecast dorens?
Bad wearther coming?
Not first gay senator..just openly gay
Dorens, is that your house with the tree down next to it?
just what the NE needs :(
hi everyone
noreaster headed for the east coast, India
Oh no
oh no no.. thats not good
still 350,000 just in NYC without power and now this
there is a well known political blogger who blogs from home.. but he had to find a starbucks to blog last night due to no electricity in his home in nyc
I have a friend that has been sleeping in CBS news room, her hubby is an editor. CBS just put them all up in hotel that had power a couple of days ago
still haven't found any of the nines
been feeding them all etc. CBS is now my news source lol
Lent
that's great of them gramma
Oops..sorry
me9 extends from the me7 b4 it
200 down and listing -- want to get some Christmas shortbread made today
dont forget m8 after that
don't have the me 7 or 8 either
ro9 is a plural - ends with a pest found in ears
me7...the **** tarsals are large foot bones + Ariel is The Little ***maid
only pests I see are the ones in the hair
yes it's my house, and the part of the tree is ON my roof, took down the gutter and damaged the front of the roof... can't tell about the top, I'm not climbing up there. We have a nor'easter "Athena" that has begun. More coastal flooding, 2 - 4 inches of snow, which will surely bring down more tree limbs. I still never got my power back and sure don't expect it anytime soon
That sucks, Dorens.
Ugh Dorens...im so sorry
ty for the me, molly
dyno**** !!! Nan
big time. what sucks more is that i was planning on driving to baltimore to see the kids and babysit at noon today. driving through that stuff normally wouldn't bother me, but i have just had a bit too much stress lately, and got brand new car last nite.. a bit nervous with that
gosh Dorens -- hope the roof is watertight!
so sorry Dorens
me too nan... gotta go now, at school (a nice diversion)
be safe
Stay safe
be right back
two of my fave words today. one's a drink and one's a drinking place ( :
we're getting nothing but election rehash on TV -- annoying when there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. One thing I don't understand though is why people in a particlar electoral riding would vote for Obama as president, elect a republican congressment and expect great change!!?
Not the same people, Nan...
back for a little bit - hello all
but in the same riding? - it doesn't make sense -- if the majority is going to elect a democratic president, why not a democrat for congress -- give the pres the support he needs to accomplish the platform you voted for
That would make sense, Nan -- but we all know "sense" is an obsolete word...
Not all the seats were up for grabs..
I guess that is the difference between our parliamentary system and yours.
We don't have a popular vote --- the party leader of whichever party wins the majority of seats in the House of Commons becomes the Prime Minister.
By that system, we could've had Mr. Boehner for President -- the mind reels...
Ah but by our system, Obama would have been the leader of the Democratic Party
Nan: theres a saying here. hate congress but love your congressman. thats why they win easy
our system would ( sadly doesn't, but would) work fine if members of each party could represent the actual people instead of "their" party
that is so true smores. and WE need to hold them to it. I think we get complacent and let them rule us instead of the other way around
obviously no political system is perfect, but it would seem you are no further ahead -- especially in lite of Mr Boehner's comments last night
Boehner's an idiot.
each is too concerned about screwing each other but we the people are the ones getting screwed
I managed to miss that -- what did he say?
The thing is, America has a government representative of the people. And some of the people are Republicans and are going to vote that way. It's not as simple as Democrat President = Democrat Congress.
checks and balance :)
Erda, Boehner said "the decision by voters to keep a Democrat in the White House and Republicans in control of the House means they are looking for political leaders to find common ground."
just wish they could manage to work better together
It would be a whole new American government if they would outlaw lobbying.
Amen Molly
But he (Boehner) was one of the big reasons why nothing worked as long as they were being obstructionist...
As long as politicians are in the pockets of lobbyists, there is no hope for a Congress that acts for the people.
very true Molls
how long have lobbyists been around?
I still don't understand why any woman would support a party that wants to take away their rights - not in this day and age. Mind you, I only know 2 women that are staunchly anti-obama, and I susect it is more of a racial issue than political. They were brought up in an environment where it was believed that there is no way that a person of colour could possibly be as intelligent as a person of their own ethnic background -- I suspect it will take a few more generations before that line of thinking disappears.
racism is still alive and well in the USQ
USA even
i expect so to cyber. i will tellyou of my family
sad but true
i was raised in new england.. pather- grandson of aa episcopal bishop.. mother a northern babtist (and believe me they are different from southern babtists).
that's why I love my panda :)
It's not so much supporting a party that wants to take away their rights. It's more of being tired of a President who has done nothing and has not fulfilled any of his campaign promises.
Oh dear. I just came on and the chat makes my stomach flip. I remember when the chat had unspoken rules. We didn't discuss politics, abortion, religion, etc. It was just a pleasant place for people with a common love of word games.
it never occurred to any of us in our lily-white , up-tight protestand world that our family would ever be any different...... however......
But Molly, can you not see that the obstructive measures adopted by the Republican party is mostly responsible for that?
The great thing about chat is that you can turn it off if you don't care for the conversation.
Not really Nan, that is just excuse making on the part of the incumbent.
racism is even in the grid today :(
Keep going SMom, I'm listening to your story.
I would challenge "done nothing" on the facts. Certainly not "done everything he promised", but I can't think of a politician in my lifetime that meets that standard.
me7/52
You're right Molly. I can block it; but, I would suggest you take upsetting discourse to a different site.
smores, is that a question or a success stztement?
I didn't start this conversation, I'm just responding to it.
I don't think so -- if you have a congress that will shoot down everything proposed by the opposing party only because it was proposed by the opposing party nothng will ever get done. Whatever happened to compromise and looking at what is acutally good for the country?
my sister...... was unable to have biologcal children of her own and her husband decided to adopt .. they did.. 2 white babies... a few years later they realised that there was a need in this world for other kids... they ultimately adopte4d 7 more kids ( yup. total of 9) some black some korean.. hindi indian .. one or two mixed.. we had a bi-racial and bi religious family right there

You made me smile stidgmere :-) My challenge is Debussy's "Golliwog's Cakewalk".... used to play it like a darn, but fingers don't cooperate as well anymore :-(
Cake walk is no cakewalk, is it. Well great music to enjoy anyway.
....and snowing here too... about 4 inches since 9 a.m.
we have snow here, but it's not that much. Ice to follow

I didn't know that you originally lived in Alberta, Nan

I am definitely NOT complaining about any weather we are having, given the devastation in the east. I actually like winter.

One of our granddaughters is in 3rd year nursing in Lethbridge ( her family ..my son etc. are in Calgary )
My brain just clicked shut. Help on the RE6,27 please?

All that, and Ivesy is still a blushing 29 year old. Fancy that.
hmmmm ivesy... ALL of my kids are over 40... some "well" over !
lol.. yes i am molly..... hmmm hmmm.. thats my story and im sticking to it.
Ivesy is cute, but she never posts a picture ;-) but I have several
TO, the thanks was for your clue.
y ty diane... i forgot u have pics. lol
we've been online friends for over 10 years, haven't we?
Aw, on line friends since you were little girls. : D
that is so nice. i have made some re4 friends here
:-)) @ Molly.... you've got it !
I've only had a computer for 10 years, or it might have been longer than that
yes , been a while and so nice .. she is wonderful person
The year 2000 is when most people started exploring the internet.
ty, ivesy x x
we met in a word game chat room.. made many friends there from all over
wow. i can fe 4 it getting colder indoors
I didn't discover Google until about 2003.... and have never picked up an encyclopedia or almanac since ( have been inquisitive all my life)
TO it is now 34 here.
I remember my Mother always consulting the encyclopedia when she didn't know about something. That will be something to cluck at my grand kids about.
....and many of us are still connected, aren't we Ivesy.... yet I often grieve the ones with whom I've lost touch :-(
wow wet snow will be awful for the power situation
when I was growing up, we had a HUGE volume called the Lincoln Library... used it as reference for many school reports, etc. It also served as a booster chair at times !
ooh we had one of those, too, diane
lost touch with a few. we did re connect with some on fb.. but we had such a great time .. chatting .
first cl 5, following the seafood?
I'm glad I am of a generation who used reference books. There is something about looking things up in print that was very special.
Our book was tan, leather bound, and getting mighty tattered.... I think our Grandad gave it to us.
nm - monkeyed it
I still remember many of the pictures Molly, and the feel and smell of the paper.
ci 7, please?
It was great for pressing flowers too... :-)
thats why i dont use a e book much. like the feel of a book in my hand
Ooo, and those cool clear pictures in the anatomy section.
starts out like wispy clouds... ends with past tense of to consume food
I agree about e readers Ivesy They have yet to win me over.
ty diane

I enjoy my Kobo at times... have just downloaded some books to read when we drive down to Arizona...it tucks away nicely in my bag.
ooo ty Diane
love my kobo too!
way to go nan... I still have 100 remaining, but it's time I went and did something constructive!
have time to give a few clues if anyone wants them...
bye diane
I can see how e readers would be good for traveling. But as for snuggling up with a good book, it will always be a real book for me.
la 7/32 please?
some of the ebooks are just as expensive as the "real thing"... and in that case, I go for the real book.... that way I can pass it on to family and friends.

think I've done the easy ones - thanks for the la 7 /32
agree nice not to list - but I do need to get some other things done. Beautiful/perfect day down here today
Thanks, lynxxx, I feel like I'm on a wheel.....still looking.
Cloudy and bit rainy here - might clear up later. Had hardly any rain for 4 months or so
I think they are a english critter Peach
Oh, lynxxx, glad you are having a pretty day....it's been overcast all day here. Enjoy it.
gulp - just saw my favorite hot beverage
go for it! I see it too!
i mean really go for it!
hope you're going to enjoy the sun lyn - things to do outside not in!
ok list - here I come!
Just been for a relaxing walk with Stew (my greyhound) just making sure everything in the neighbourhood is under control. lol. We do one later in the day too. Neither of us like the midday sun much
love dogs - glad you checked on the neighbourhood. Agree about midday sun - I'm not one of those "mad dogs and englishmen ..."
yeah, I am of english descent too...lots of pale skin and redhair on the maternal side...not a good combination with Australian sun
understand that - though only a bit of red hair in the family. Mine's more artificially that way inclined - also not good in the Aussie sun!
lol - yes I hear sunshine is not good for dyed hair
:)
shades of red (sounds like a novel) are notorious for fading
thankyou goodness for Licketys kindness in doing his clue list. Big grids like this would drive you nuts otherwise

finally, finally got those big Ms
well done - i've still got 9 cs to nail
make that 8! - i was seeing a phantom hot beverage before! how did I miss the real one????? Duh!!!
Just learned that blue was democrats in the US! How confusing is that?
I find most of the US political system confusing - including the names.
Me too! Husband's just reading me some outrageous statements made in deep south about rape!
they certainly have a wide variety of highly opinionated people
Missouri,, not really deep south... he was an idiot,,unfortunately, too many share his ideas
Sorry US - not meaning to offend most of you
:) - thanks gemini - I also mean no offence
hi Gemini
doesn't offend me,,, some of the politican offend me
I guess as a woman it's hard not to respond to comments about rape. I usually keep well out of political discussions - learned early on at work how easily some take offence
in my opinion there were too many comments like that from Republicans.... they need to find out why they have so many extremists....
We all value free speech - sometimes we wish people would put a sock in it though - here as well. Some people make you chringe
For sure!
no middle ground left....
and by the way,, the man that said that,, running for senator from Missouri,, lost 40 to 60 % ,,,,,
good!
:)
good - let's hope he learns from it
5 minutes to remember re6.27 & 7. To put a new top on the house
that'd be annoying
still got 4 c's to go but moved away from them for a while
do you want a hand, I finished those?
strangely though just realised i missed the plural of that ro 4 / 7
I think it's co s I'm missing but I'm getting lost in the list!
a way down the co list!
If you haven't emailed Lickety for Expert yet, do...in the meantime use the Bulk Entry at the bottom of his list - very very fast to use
I've never entered anything in Lickety!
How does the bulk entry work?
I never scrolled down that far before!!!!!
Do it now then! Just Copy your Word List and the Paste into the ist big box you can see at the bottom of his clue list, and press enter
You can even just enter all the words for one letter if you like. Successive fills
You don't have to scroll down that far. Click on BACK TO THE TOP anywhere in Lickety's list. At the top, click on BULK ADD/GRAB and it will bounce you down to the add box.
That gave me a first letter count! didn't enter the words but I'll try again!
Don't worry about getting the letters and points, the softwaer will eliminate them
Got it - clicked bulk add rather than enter. ty
I never knew I could use Lickety like that! I'd always gone back and forth between the pages. Now do I use that grid to add new words?
No, unfortunately you will have to type them into Babble....but when you get Expert from Lickety, it will magically do all that for you
How do I do that?
Do email him, he is just down in Sydney actually. Lovely guy and so nice of him to do it for us. He doesn't even play. His contact is on his list I think - over on the right
ok - might do that!
But for a while I'll see how I go using the list in this new way
Raining again :( I still haven't moved into the mindset of Australia needing rain!
Thats what you get for living way up there in the Tropics
bbl - off to check out ceiling fans - the only room that doesn't have one? The lounge!
Enjoy the day lyn and good luck!
bye Liz, you too
Btw - you're being a good influence on me. I'm going to make the effort to punctuate correctly!
Especially as literacy was my speciality!
I think I should be the one getting instruction - I am hopeless at it. Bye
Hello. you know...if you can inflate soething you shoudl be able to flate it.
Good evening kids.
Hi scrabbler!
I just flated my stomach with dinner.
Hey there, Scrabbler.
Hi Peach
I am trying to finish dinner.
I am ready for bed so I am here to do some meditative word-searching
re
i should go to bed..
if flate is a word so is flatio
You guys go to bed early.
*bada bing*
I am usually in bed by 9 to read, then light off by 10.
I get up at 4, so its not that early!
Then you should already be in bed, Red.
ci 7 ?
Ends in your mortgage interest ****
I got home late so eating...and trying to get warm..
Good evening Babblers
<---Has typed three responses to flatio and erased them all. : P
thank you molly
Hi wht
Good evening Wht
Good Evening All. How are you all doing this evening?
Hi wht! hi Molly
Ruru, I see you are on your best behaviour tonight.
yes indeed
Not bad Nef. How's your hand today?
Hi Nef. I am nearing REM sleep.
Oh look, Wht has gone all Canadian on us with behaviour.
Very international, wht. Colour, cheque, etc.
it's getting better, Molly. It hurts more than yesterday; but I think it's the dressing that's bugging me
What happened Nef?
happy REM, Scrabs
It makes me look like an international man of mystery while I am really sitting in my den.
I have always had a busy, vivid dream life and the Scrabbler Channel has been extremely creative and fascinating lately.
I had surgery on Saturday, basilar thumb arthritis fixed (I hope) on non-dominate hand
New joint?
Coul Wht. Goud for you.
Oh my Nef, what a surgical year it has been for you!
they removed it and put inatendon I guess
Hand surgeons get to do really co4 stuff.
Nef can come to Massachusetts for his new joint. The medical marijuana initiative passed yesterday.
Nef has a joint? Wow, those pain killers have made her a wild woman.
The night is young, wht. He turns on later.
nef has moved to COlorado or Washington.
and DH will have more spine surgery on Nov. 26th! I'm hoping and praying that that will be the end of it all!
Or her new joint as the case may be.
Kids, kids, Nef is a she not a he.
Don't let the blue do fool you.
yep; I'm a she, no sex-change surgery done here
So I realized as soon as I hit enter. Apologies, nef.
It sucks to be a patient, especially a surgical patient
NP, wht.
and, for the record, no new joints for me either ;-)
Judi was smoking joints here last night
Rats Nef. I was hoping for something that would finally make you relax.
were you helping her, ruru?
I'm a fairly relaxed person IRL, Molly
no.
I don't do drugs
Ru, of all the icons you rotate, that one is my favorite. : D
me either; ru
I like it too.. I kind of looked like him as a kid
fe 6/27 ?
Don't have it yet ruru
It's time for bed. I can barely stay awake. Bye kids.

Good night scrabs.

matchstick case?? What's that?
they are a sheet of puff pastry pricked and cooked in the oven at high temp - then i split them in half fill with jam and cram and dust with icing sugar - over here we call them matchsticks - yummy
Ooh! That sounds so good!
so far I have prepped the soup mix - done party pies, sausage rolls, mini quiches, prepped chicken legs and sausages to be cooked there , salad platter cheese board peach and apple crumble and matchsticks - it is all men and they like their food
they are yummy and so easy to do :)

Yes, I was up later that I usually am myself.

thanks, jmc. I was reading my FB feed today and you'd swear that life ended with this election
Wonders if hell has frozen over. JMC has become a light weight.
haha not my life nef!
I had to blocok one of my cousins because she was unhinged on facebook
hey smile when you say that molls
calling me a tool of the devil, an apostle of the anti-christ, and godless.
and you had a problem with that? ;-)
<---Laughs at Cos's typo.
lol it was the tone of her typing :)
which typo?
That sounds like words of high praise, cos.
but cosd i thought you were deaf. . . haha
ohhh ok i see it now!
The truth of the matter is, whether they are ranting looneys or people with valid arguments, half the country is not happy with the president.
yeah thatds why i said "tone of her typing" not "voice" lol
no ur right molly but that doesnt mean they need to insult me and call me names.
she called me a baby-killer
.. I started out running but I'm taking my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight.
No, it doesn't. I saw similar stuff between my son and a cousin on his Dad's side. My sarcastic son replied "Well, this is going to make the next family reunion awkward". : D
lol yeah.. good thing i dont see this cousin ever. havent seen her since umm 2004
the problem is her mom is my all time favorite aunt and was the first person i came out to.
<--Wonders if Wht is already participating in the medical marijuana.
I ran down to the levee But the devil caught me there He took my twenty dollar bill And he vanished in the air
Oh you guys have gone Quaker on us. I see.
what's a family reunion if it isn't awkward?
never really thought of the grateful dead as Quaker
<---Not a Dead Head
ma6 before the planet please?
ah. . .
There are two reasons why I cry each and every night. The first one is sweet Anne Marie, she is my heart's delight. The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail And if he catches up with me, I'll spend the night in jail.
Red color Cos.
another reason we are not friends molls ;-)
ty molly
ty molls
Well that and the fact that I'm the black sheep of Babble.
You don't have to be a dead head to be a Friend. I'm sure I saw that in the Quaker manual, jmc.
friend not Friend wht. . .haha
oh no molls black sheep and quakers are practically redundant
Thanks Wht, but I got what she meant the first time.
Oh my. I hear a snowplow on our street. It is too early for this.
snowplow? ugh!
That was my reaction.

Hi mrp
hi jes :)
hi firefly :))
nice to see you all
good to see you, too -- how are you? and your darling kids?
hey mrp
hi cos :)
stid, am doing ok thanks hun. Kids are wonderful as usual! We are going through the motions of family separation but hoping to come out the other side without too many outside distractions
u all look great in ur pics!
Harvey and I are looking at buying a house in the next few months. It would be much better for them to have a house rather than apartment.
separation is not fun. But I hope it will turn out for the best. Your kids must be getting pretty old, Grant is a high school junior now, so I figure yours aren't too far behind. *rolls mama eyes* It's a challenging age...
Jumps on Mr Pres
house sounds nice, definitely.
Stid Grant so isn't Now I feel old
hi infern!!
the kids are coming on 14 and 15!! far out!
Harv is learning very quickly what it is like to have teenagers! and he still wants to have kids with me! LOL
He is a brave brave man
stid? I don't understand your profile? what's going on?
separation is horrible. I am just mortified at what your ex-partner can do
yikes! quit while you're ahead!!! (and yes, 17 going on 30... hoping his escapades won't do me in!)
hi ruuster!!
hi mr p
(((ruru)))
hi stid
Hi ruru!
stid im gonna send u a message on fb...
hello sue..I don't pray.. but I said a prayer for you
*braces for cosmail*
*curious too*
there. Down to 170 and that is good enough.
and congrats on the reelection of the president to the US babblers
Ah, thanks ruru, I don't pray either but will take all the help I can get.
lightining a candle for you sue all week
there are so many people here who have fought cancer successfully sue.. there's a lot of support here
ruru, I am okay. Just very very sad, and distressed to see incivility taking hold more and more in this forum that I have so highly valued.
I haven't seen it stid.. maybe I've missed a lot
((((Stid)))
Thanks ruru and cos, I really appreciate it.
I really think your son is very brave sue
Sorry for the loss of your friend too stid
thanks, all -- and now it is late for me and I should try to sleep. I wouldn't have babbled, but my brain just won't settle down for writing today.
Thanks firefly.
Ah, Frank is my partner, ruru
Night stid!
Bruce is dragging me away for the evening. hugs to all, best wishes to Sue and Frank, and sorry to hear about your friend, Stid.
im hoping that things will calm down
oh...
Be well stid, as am I
Sleep sweet when you get there, and luck in the grid until then.
Night, jes!
Night jes
I thought your son was in trouble. I"m sorry sue I didn't follow this correctly
That's ok, ruru, I did have trouble with my son a year ago although that was legal rather than medical, he is fine now.
who had the digestive issues your son or Frank?
sweet dreams jes and bruce.
That was Frank.
oh.. *orders extra candles*
And I am following jes out. Just tired... **hugs and choclits for all** *poof*
night stid
Well I just had to change my pants. Stupid movie trailers making me jump
And the cancer is the cause of his digestive issues, although he also has celiac and now Crohn's.
oh crap... Crohn's is really hard
Yeah, I told him he should get some disease that doesn't begin with c
;) medical drama humor is the best medicine Sue, we use it here in my home ;)
It does help, firefly!
It's much more productive than misery and depression - humor alleviates stress and anxiety
Indeed.
If you like have a giggle at my expense actually jumping at a movie trailer AND having a snoring kitty
I've seen drooling kitties, but not heard snoring ones...
Mine snores. If I could pick up the snoring on audio I would
My fat cat snores sometimes, not the skinny one though
THis is madam fatty
And the dog snores like crazy too, of course
Hmm. 160 words left. somehow I don't think I'll finish before the flip.
My parents dog does that
My phantom word for the day is definitely "ointment"
Catch you all later
