Christine she anounced that she "unfriended" me a long time ago on FB and I have no idea why -- aksed her and wh never replied. Now she quits if I show up, but at other times seems reasonably cordial. Bafflement.
Ah well, if someone feels that way, the trick is to just ignore them
My expertise at typos reamins strong, however

Right, Christine -- it will remain an unsoved mystery and not very important.

Well, I feel if I enter 'tissue' often enough, eventually enable will give in

been a long day here. hydro this AM meant a 6:15 rising, then after that had to get DH to hospital for some minor surgery. only arrived home just after 5pm.

thx liz

yay, dart, you rock, mate. how many now?

oohh, nice. well done
hi rose, liz, (again) dart
hey, shallow, or may i call you by your real name?
hey shallow
whatever you prefer, rose
well i could call you late for dinner. would that be okay?
wow just1mar is on....late and haven't seen her for a while
better call me early enough, i'm kind of peckish
hi dartie haven't been here since , well 2010!
lol, can't have you gnawing on the keyboard now, can we?
hi just...ltns
haven't been here as I'm not too well
watch out...you might get hooked again
hey mar...long time no see. how are you, hun? so much water under the bridge...what has been happening?
don't think I have the time needed to get "hooked"
sorry to hear that :(
oh, mar...share, hun
I have stage 4 lung cancer metastized to a few different places
oh, darling. that is so sad.
two and half years ago docs gave me 3 to 6 months but i"m still here kicking and scratching
oh man
i'm sorry, i don't remember too well. do you have family around you?
I know , It's a real kick in the teeth
Just my hubby who has been fantastic granny, my son moved to Vancouver
{{{{ cyber hug }}}} very gently for mar. my heart goes out to you, sweetie.
you still in montreal?
thanks granny
one from me too justy
yep still here
but you moved didn't you Dart?
DH's can be so fantastic. i've just had a total knee replacement, no complaints on this end.
yep...in the thriving metropolis of wichita ks now...oh joy
DH's?
lol guess Sandy didn't touch you!
mar? please stay in touch. if it's okay, i'll let mrp know.Dear Husbands ;)
Ok I'll try granny
we had the start of sandy...before sandy was sandy...just temp drop and t-storms
Are you still an air traffic controller?
mar, my email addy in profile. please keep on hand. i can then let other babbler's know how you are, if that's okay with you.
was....pulled the plug in 2011...wife's job brought us here...you have a good memory!
so what are you doing now?
retired i guess....golfing...cleaning toilets lol
wow dart .......from a most stessful job to toilets? Hope their your own!
wouldn't do others....yep all mine.....just doing everything so wife doesn't have to
nice situation! Hope you're well
doing ok....bored sometimes...goo from fairly large city...to not so large....big change and most friends and relatives are elsewhere
yeah I'm sure that must be hard but better weather esp in winter, no"
we had a warm winter last year (but so did minnesota).....did not miss the snow/cold one bit...but summers have been brutally hot and very dry (big drought for 2 yrs
we had 53 days last year and 34 this that were over 100F/38c
I will granny
wow that is hot! maybe we get two weeks of oppressive heat (and not in a row)
wow that is hot! maybe we get two weeks of oppressive heat (and not in a row)
ah, thanx mar. i can keep other babblers in touch with your progress. sweetie, are you in much pain?
but I'd rather be hot with no snow than cold with snow
my def of hot in MN was....85=pretty warm...90=hot...95=really hot...hardly ever got over 100
we had at least 3 days each year up to 111....and it wasn't a real dry heat like phoenix or vegas
not really....I was in terrible pain but I've had radiation treatments that have helped me so much
similar temps (Minn) to Mtl
Well it was so nice to see you Granny and Dart....but I must go. Will certainly try to come back soon
remember you telling me about the huge snow piles in the winter....glad to hear that the treatment helped
thx although last year was one of the warmest with little snow....strange
so fortunate, mar. sometimes radiation brings more discomfort than relief. for you, that is good news. yes?
okay, mar, please go with my prayers for you. rest easy, sweetheart.
great to see you again justy....take care and we will be pulling hard for you and your treatments
it brought relief but on the third session this spring it burned my skin in the delicate area between neck a clavacle (sp)
collar bone
thanks for you wishes Dart and Granny...take care, be well and see you soon
bye just
my heart breaks with every diagnosis of cancer. it's such a non-discriminatory disease. i wish it could be just wiped out totally.
i agree....just1 used to play every night back when i started.....haven't seen her for a long time
she was still in my friends list...just happened to glance and saw she was on
so many brave people face that diagnosis everyday. and yet i am still here...no longer smoking it is tr4....but other people so much younger than i snatched in their prime...i can't understand it. by all rights, i should have carked it years ago.
i'm not how she got her cancer...but to me it is so sad to see young people nowadays smoke...it is so hard to quit and it is so bad for you and everyone nearby too....but all the young folks think it is cool...i know when i was dating it was a real turnoff to me, a deal-breaker basically
probably beacause my dad did until he was about 65...he quit then
:), yet in my younger days it was THE thing. nowadays, with all the information available to the young folk, why do they st5? i have 3 sons. 1 has never smoked, 1 has stopped completely, the other, the youngest, has at least stopped the manufactured cigarettes, and uses roll your owns.
anyone my parent age and slightly younger is off the hook...they didn'tknow how bad it was.....anyone my age knew and the people nowadays really know how bad it is.......we went to that "Bodies" exhibit that went around....they had a lung sliced open from non-smokers..right next to smokers...don't know how the smokers could breathe...it was gross..totally black and tarry
*giggle* i know what you mean. but you know what, dart? i had the "i'm invincible syndrome'. so prevalent among the teens and early 20-somethings. and being a nurse did not affect my reasoning at all. it was going to happen to someone else, not me.
i think that age group has that syndrome for everything...texting while driving...smoking....skateboarding....\nlots of dumb things that can really backfire...but not to them
nowadays, i just tell the youngsters how hard it is to stop. i cannot stop them from smoking, but i am certainly there to help them quit.
gal at club...said "I was texting while driving and blew a tire because I hit the curb"....i said..."what if someone was walking there...you might be in jail and they might be dead, could you live with that?"...she said"I'll probably keep on doing it.....don't get that reasoning
fw
neither do i, dart. over here, it is an on-the-spot fine and demerit points if you are caught texting while driving. as a matter of fact, if you must answer the mobile phone while driving, not only do you have to pull over, but the keys must be removed from the ignition.
WTG DART!!!! sans list?
it is a fine here too...doesn't stop the young ones....wish they would ban the phone too..that can be just as bad...they go ballistic over drunks killing people....and they have done studies that show phone-talkers are worse drivers than drunks!
yep..no list but a lot of morewords
well done, dart.
and almost 3.5 hrs ouch
perhaps the fines need to be larger?
or the penalties harsher? like loss of license?
i think if you kill or maim someone because you are on cellphone...they should throw you in jail...and publicize it so others see that it could happen to them too
so totally agree...surely it is akin to manslaughter?
wont stop them if it is just a fine
your first duty when you get behind the wheel is to drive...too many people put that about 3rd on the list behind phone etc
well, are our driving instructors behind the times, then? not making the impact they should.
i was hit by someone going about 50 mph from behind...don't know of he was doing anything like that(2000)...but he said he didn't see me...first he knew i was there is when he hit me and the airbag hit him in the face....if i hadn't seen him right before the accident....i might not be here now
good grief...and how old was this person?
i was making a left turn and the road was not straight...so he had to look somewhat just to keep the car on the road....don't know why he didn't see me though...totaled both cars
he was 21...in a brand new car
had it 2 weeks
Hello Rose & Da** and anyone else around
hey lynxx
*shaking head* i always taught my boys that everyone else on the road was an idiot, including their mother.
hey lyn
now i hate tail-gaters
et
point was made when one day i was driving. had pulled up at a red light, was waiting for green arrow to turn, when green arrow appeared, i first checked my right, then left, then rigt(reverse for yoyu) and a car came through on the red light. if i had moved off on the green arrow, probably wouldn't be here now.
we have the NASCAR syndrome here...everyone on the freeway likes to drive about one car-length behind the car in front, while they are going 65 mph...that way if something weird happens, we have 20 car pile-ups
running reds is bad here too
except on nascar track..all drivers are pros...cars are well maintained....you dont' have deer/racoons/skunks and other bad drivers doing weird things on the raodway
lol, so true. here we have a sticker which says..' stay away from me for 5 seconds'.
we have a lot of red light cameras here especially on notorious spots, I do think it has cut down on the red light running
they have talked about doing that here
red light camera? what is the proper term Rose?
almost 4am...gonna run...nite rose and lynxx
literally run? goodnight Dart
up the stairs lol
poooof
OK wasn't sure. Thought you might be a midnight jogger or something. Sleep tight
night, dart. sleep well, mate
red light camera is correct, lyn
hello?
lol, it just seemed to wrong when I wrote it...its been a longish day
Helloooo
yay, lynxx and rose are here!!!!!
same here, hun. have been up since 6:15am.
ooohhh. {{{{ruby}}}}
6.30 here. managed to have some lunch at 5.00pm. Now working on appetite to make some dinner for myself...don't think it is going to happen
had hydro this AM, then had DH into hospital for minor surgery.
I've been invited to a big family party in London in mid-December and am afraid to tell Burt. I've spoken to the housekeeper who would come in on the weekend to help out, but he will have a fit when I tell/ask him.
I really could use a trip
I hope he is OK, Rose
ease
he's OK?
sorry
my Ruby got locked into the studio overnight and basically destroyed the door to the garden
Hope you can work something out Rose...we all know you could do with a break
she'll probably never trust me again!
poor girl
it seems yours truly is a pretty good diagnostician. look-see by surgeon confirmed my diagnosis. he has burnt his oesophagus AND his vocal chords with gastric reflux. i hyave been on his case for years to increase his dose of medication .
had he cut down on his dose himself?
burnt? so it will self-repair though when he gets the gastric reflux under cntrol?
no, lyn. he never did inform the GP of his issiues, and hence did not have the meds increased as they should.
men - they are always silly little boys
i do so hope so, lyn. *shakes head* but then again i am only a nurse with 40 years experience. lol
which medication does he take? Nexium? There is a new one here, OTC, made by Bayer, but it's less effective. I used to take Prevacid, but when it went off patent, it was no longer available.
doorbell and dogs went crazy!
I didn't realize that esophagus could get burned
yes , ruby...or does now, lol. esomaprazole comes in 20mgs or 40mgs. he is now on 40 mgs.
40 mg does the trick, 20, not so well
I didn't think I was going silly, dragged out my wool jumper and put the heater on tonight...its only 11o
himself needs his apero. He's unusually cross this AM hahah
he's going to be crosser when you mention that you have received the invitation...then again he may become very sweet
go for it, ruby...give him a double.
aha incinerated widows
lyn, how are you going with the 8's and 9's? need a hand?
I am going very slowly (there is really 314 here!) but I need to wind down my head a bit and Babble is good for that
okay, hun. happy babbling. think i will turn in for the night.
Sweet dreams Rose
night, lyn. you too, sweetie
Anybody here?
hi dianne
Hey shallow - how are you doing?
thanks fairly well apart from a cold sstarting to settle in. and you?
Where do you live?
in berlin
whats hongkong time right now?
That explains the cold weather.
It is 7:15 pm
well colder than HK i guess - but all the canadians chatting about snow - we havent had any yet, usually comes in jan/feb
just drizzly november
When it get cold here it really feels cold because of being surrounded by water. Also most apartment don't have heat.
guess that can be a drag too
I need to go soon and get dinner together. Need any clues before I go?
ba 8
the "most" a farm animal house can be.
ty ill look
O.K. - I'll see you tomorrow.
bye dianne, enjoy your meal

Hello, ruby and Shallow One

Sue, jumping in for a second to say that my positive thoughts are with you and Frank today.
the motto?
hello molly
thanks, Molly, we are in a state of high anxiety
good morning everyone
on BR's profile, ruby
hi Molly, crossy
hi crossy!

((ruby))
higher ground
and that many quickies,all before lunch ruby?? you are an amazing woman to be sure:)
though you best let your other half have a nap between sessions
thank you so much, ruby and crossy. I'll try to keep my profile updated as I get news (it is therapeutic for me)
used to be amazing, crossy, not any more.....
we will all be thinking of you and Frank
Good morning Babblers :)
hi nono!
i will watch your facebook and here all day and send nothing but good vibes your way
gm no no
howdy nono
(( Sue)), many prayers for you and Frank today!
thinking of you and Frank today Sue :)
((((babble)))) you guys really are amazing :-)
and crossy, we are going to show up on your doorstep once Frank gets through chemo!
tell frank i will have a crossy breakfast waiting for him
will do :-)
if they can add atavan to his chemo, he'll be less sick
they don't usually suggest if, but it makes a big difference!
i also got anti-nausea meds via i.v during chemo treatments
we'll talk to them about that - chemo in 3 weeks probably, got to get through the surgery first
my consulting doctor in Boston suggested it and I shopped it around until I found someone who would give it to me.
my consulting doctor in Boston suggested it and I shopped it around until I found someone who would give it to me.
I had very strong chemo, but was never sick
small bag of anti-nausea took 15 min,large bag og chemo(cisplatin) took 2-4 hours
i was sick as a dog
crossy, Frank likes wolves, and I found one for him - a picture of a snarling wolf and around it, it says "The doctors call it cancer - I call it a challenge!"
the atavan did the trick for me; I just couldn't drink gin through the whole chemo thing.....
I'm going to print one up and hang it in his hospital room
being on universal health care,i did not have to shop it around,i just was offered it thank god
very good suze! i like it! i am also a wolf person
yes, I figured that out, crossy :-)
I had to pay for mine, but it was worth it!
tel;l frank we share the same totem then and it is very strong against cancer
will do. He'll like that.
That is a great, positive image Sue. That helps a lot.
three different people from my UU fellowship have said they will come sit with me while he is in surgery - I am overwhelmed with kindness...
Sue, sending positive thoughts to you and Frank today. Will be thinking of both of you
we will be there in spirit, sue
thanks, peri!
ok, I am going to go snuggle up with him a bit - we have to leave in a couple of hours - bbl - love to you all!
That is great Sue. Just having someone sitting beside you is a comforting presence.
((sue+frank))
{{{sue}}}
All the best Sue, looking forward to good news.

OK, who is making the breakfast buffet this morning. I am so hungry.
ty, bzz, any other u stats?
i will ship one up
ur5
Make it snappy, Crossy.
nice scrambled eggs,with diced mushrooms and shredded quebec apple wood smoked cheddar,some crispy mini tater pancakes with ice cold apple sauce for dipping and some crunchy toasted english muffins with 3 fruit marmalade
*drooling*
see? i kept the meat out for you
So very thoughtful! That means more bacon for YOU!
yaaa! more bacon for little crossy!
How much weight have you lost?
Good morning!
Hey Car
Hi Scrabs!
tbh scrabby i lost 11 pounds the first month,but now the diet has gone by the wayside with strokes,cancer and deaths in the family.loosing a few pounds has dropped down on the list for now
car!
Hi Crossy!
Morning, car.
I didn't know about the family issues. *sad*
my elegant lost her mum suddenly last month on the 25th
Hi BzznBea!
and her brother had a stroke and they found stage 3 lung cancer in him as well
funny thing is,without the stroke the lung cancer would of remained unfound
Oh, no! So sad. That was my parents' 54th anniversary, the first without my Dad. ((Elegant))
Oh, no!
So much to grasp!
they found the cancer when he was getting tests in the stroke clinic
it is a pile at once to be sure as now my elegant is suddenly the executor as her brother is now unable
Sometimes diagnoses are made in surprising ways.
indeed
and now for crossy,s tidbit of the day!
Send Elegant my love, peace and strength. Grief is so tough, especially early on. April + May were blurs for me, I was in a daze.
In Paris, there are more dogs than there are children, and they seem to be treated with equal amounts of pampering. Collectively, Parisians spend nearly $500,000 every day on health and grooming for their pets.
TY for that tidbit.
She can resign as executrix.
indeed i will scrabs,she has not really had time to grieve yet with all the executor duites suddenly thrust upon her.i help as i can as like i said before i am her staff to lean on and she is my rock when i falter.we will endure
she can,but there is no one else to take over
her other brother has a brain injury from a car crash 20 years ago
The court can appoint someone
i will help her through this
yes they could,but may as well just hand the estate over in cheque form
My father died Apr 4 so I quickly had to find tax info, do tax calculations, file an extension but still pay the taxes on time.
that is on my list scrabbs tax info for 2011
bus...brb...
and a final will have to be done in 2012
for 2012*
But I did extension for states taxes, thinking I also did federal, so I am in deep sh*t right now with mother and sister as we clean up the mess.
the executor is entitled to be paid
first it has to go to probate
and that is 2-5 months the lawyer tells me
I filed state and federal Oct 3, prior to extension date, but I didn't do federal extension as I thought....
the govt makes it tough indeed
seems they also get 1.6% of the estate
When practiced I did many probates....
it is a long wait here br
though she has seen some come back in a little as 3 weeks
So much extra work and worry
generally finished in under six months
well even worse is whe her brother had the stroke he was executor,but then his wife got all signing athority over him during his illness,and that can include executor of the will,so there are a ton of forms fer her to send and sign
notarila copies of poa etc
notarial
and on it goes
she is basically living at the hospital with her husband and ov cannot do my wifes mothers estate as well
How bad was his stroke?
all she has to do is use her authority to resign
entire right side scrabbs,heavy facial drooping,monosylabic responses and almost no short term memory
that is where we are now br
it is second last on my to do list
then the lawyer can ship it all off for probate
investments to liquidate..sigh
opened up an estate bank acct
and all the while 3 sibling hover over it all like vultures watching our every move
ok,enough of this
time to find some words
Well, ask for help, Crossy, with all of your decisions. My lawyer sister has worked on so much since my father died, but I messed up the taxes.
morning guys. anyone have a clue for the impossible di8?
Hello again! Nippy but sunny outside! Love it!
i shall scrabby i have a tax preparer and i will pick their brains when the time comes for that
No di8 yet dut I found ra8 by myself a moment ago.
Same here, Car.
wb car
DUH! I was reading your message like it was a clue, Scrabs, and trying to figure it out.
di8, need insulin to help with this disease
Hi Pab! TY!
Scrabs...how did we miss that one?!?!?
Hi pab
OMG!! thanks so much!!
hi yw
TY, Pab. I already tried the last 5 letters and never saw the first 3
a clue for that ra8 please?
Kudos to me today! We have a bathroom that has not been used for about 15 years above the bathroom that is being redone for my mom. I insisted that they check it all out before putting up the new ceiling...and guess what?!??! It is leaking all over the place! Good Call Construction Girl!
the rays of the sun ra7
Yikes. What a mess.
Ty scrabs!
Nice call, car.
It would have been so much worse if they got all the new construction done and then it leaked on that.
best cap off all water flow to the unused bathroom
blow the lines,drain the toilet
Just found the ur 8
Anybody have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone? I think that is what I will upgrade to soon.
No! We are going to fix it and have a functioning third bathroom!
ty car
Those look really cool Scrabs!
that ur8 worked well with the bathroom chat
OMG! Yes it did!
TY, Crossy
This is one of those grids that I type in words even if I can't see how they could possibly be there and they are!
you had an entire upper floor that was unused??
hi all, help with the an9 pls
Hi peri!
They do look cool, Car. I do love my little HTC Aria but I need a newer model.
Hi peri
Samsung Galaxy S3: I just heard these have surpassed the iphone in sales. Don't know if it is true

Free Clue Friday!
cule me the other 2 nines i need if you are going to do that;))
clue
Morning all
howdy smores
We are using it for storage right now but it is not being used otherwise. The set up of this house is very odd. It used to be a barn with a house directly in front of it. Then they added a middle room to connect the two and turned the whole thing into a house. The room that is not being used, my bedroom as a child, is the old hayloft of the barn. it is awesome in that it is open and big and has a toilet and sink. It is not being used as there is no HEAT to that upstairs and no air circulation in the summer. Also, the boys are still very young to be in the front part of the house, where there are 2 bedrooms, to be that far away from us at night.
Hi smores!
Evening Peri :)
Hi godthaab!
interesting layout indeed car
Hi car.
A long house with not a level floor.
i love the old homes,they have character
It sounds like a really neat home, Car.
and dorrs that stick and other that jam
and ones that will not close
I once thought the same thing, crossy. But living in one that was built in 1890 is a never ending repair job.
and the dog learns that if he drops the ball just so,it will roll right to your chair
we had a victorian years ago and yes,they can be money pits
help with either st8 pls
did not like the brass power outlets in the floors!!
and the old turn knobs for light switches
and the 100 skeleton keys for every single door in the place
The house has a lot of character, but it drives me nuts at the same time.
and the tiny bedrooms
and the scary kitchen stairways to the upper floors
Ours was rewired sometime in the 80's, but it still has a lot of knob and post. And they ran the wiring on the outside of the siding.
one st 8 means striped, don't have the other one
yup
Bedrooms are really all a good size...they just have eaves so you lose a lot of space.
i call it barn wiring
TY jeff!
yw
Also, we will have to redo the wiring in that upper level barn if we move our bedroom up there.
ty Jeff, looking
All of our rooms are 14x14.
well,sounds like the family has room to grow into at least
ty Jeff, got it
ty jeff found it
Found all the vowel words. Tiem for a break. *poof*
there is an st8/9 but I do not see them
crossy hates vowel words
chemical, peri, used in candles
Ty Shallow
ok, I don't know many chemical words, looking
and then dabble with endings for st 7/8/9
Good morning, all. Can't stay long. Have to transcribe an interview. BORRRRING.
Hi Judi!
OK...so there are 2 ST 8 and 9's then?
ty got them
3 st8 1 st9
OK...
the st9 is a st8/9 combo with an st7 relative
And it is similar to the other st 8?
no
Gak. So confused.
found them - thanks
well the ending is similar to one of the st8s
I will work on it.
havent got the other one myself
Utterly confused now. Brain needs a break.
Just for the record...I have an st 5, 6, 7 and 8 that all have to do with "striping" of sorts.
Me too Scrabs! It hurts!
the ending of that 7/8 is the same as of the 8/9. the last st8 im llooking for myself
Off to transcribe. Later, kids. *POOF*
got them if you would like a clue
Bye!
bye judi - enjoy your day :)
Yes please.
found the 3rd one grammatical babblet of sorts for remain
1st st8 extends from the st5 b4 it - add the most ending
crap...just found the -est ending.
lol...that would be the one
thats the right direction
I still have no idea what you are talking about. Which st 5?!?!?!
st8/9,7
I am overwhelmed and getting frustrated. I am sorry. Time for a break.
the 1st one
the 1st one
Well I have no idea which one is the first one, so I am going to take break.
hiccuping
sorry car :(
It is not you...my brain gets bogged down very easily these days.
I understand...lol...mine too
ok, again from the start - 1st (which i found last, and thats maybe cause of some confusion) is st5/8 hint ->remain
I have the st 5/12 and st 8/45 now.
PB shallow...lol
2nd is st7/8/9 , 7 being a chemical in candles, the ending of 8/9 is the same as st 7/8 hint -> striped
No! I need Shallow!
yeah car :)
lol..
This is where you are losing me. chemical in candles?
PB? what for?
st5/10 :)

hiya hego
and right you are about that
Does anyone know what an ea9 actually is?
there's an ea 9?

Yes. It is pretty obscure; to me, anyways.
ea 9 = parallel universes?
Hmmm........
soil +game, ***(*) + match
nice clue shallow
ty, now to tackle that st9
yw
A's are abolished!
If you are on another planet, you can see the ea5 rise and ***.
E's exterminated!
not my usual point of view, therfore quite obscure - but very nice explanation
the astronauts talked about it.
Aliens version of suns****
lol
right
i was too little when there were astronauts on the moon to understand their english in the broadcasts
I thought so
we didnt even have tv set until 1972
where are you from?
germany, live in berlin
we had one but only 4 channels
I didn't realize.
I applaud the Babblers who do not have English as a first language.
we has a set in the early 70s,on a big tower ariel there was only 3 channels,but there seemed to be more quality shows to watch then than now:(
lol...crossy
true but maybe we just didnt watch as much ...
my kids think I was so deprived
we had 3 channels usa but one canadian also
our local station cfto in toronto and wkbw out of buffalo when the conditions were right
We New York area people are so jaded. We had 7 channels by 1950.
sometime in 70's we got up to 7 but 2 rarely came in
But that was it until cable
i remeber just 3 channels, and broadcasts didnt start until late afternoon - kid's progreammes at 4.30 until 5
50 left...taking a break...bbl
hehe used to stay up all night with my little transistor radio and its square 9v battery and that single big white ear bud jammed in my ear,trying to catch wolfman jack from the u.s
lol...loved the wolfman
my allowance was 25 cents a week and every other week i got two 9v batteries
Good old wolfman!
and metered out my radio time to make them last
my brother used to make me test the 9v's
clap for the wolfman,he gonna rate your record high,clap for the wolfman gonna dig him till the day you die...arooo
lol,the ole tongue test
lol...if I wanted to use his radio...so happy when I got my own
you must have been very young, Crossy
that little zenith transistor radio was worth more than a bar of gold to me,sad to see the kids take all the modern tech for granted
i got that radio for my 11th birthday
my dad said it was not reallu for me but so he did not have to listed to the awful stuff i used to play on the 45 rpm player
listen
listen
got the hiccups
the only thing to listen to tunes in the house was the big console unit in the livingroom with the stereo and the record player in it and i was forever getting in trouble when i would set it to 45 and play my singles on it
crossy was hard on the stylus

Back again, briefly. Waiting for friend to be ready to meet at park for hiking.
one i did like that costner did but seems to have been blackballed by most is "the postman"
self-indulgent , excessive and boring to me crossy, but glad you liked it
wb scrabby
Shallow, do you have pt of the first ti5?
197 to go, 1am here, im out lovers xx
gn MO
poor omnibus:((
lol i read that at first as you are out of lovers lol
ti 5/10
plus Costner has only been great in one or two movies
He has?
must go now, perhaps finish up tonight
ti5 pl ti4
ti5/10..small crown
Which one or two? I find Costner a very marginal actor.
if you do not care for the actor,there is no sense in bothering of course
I don't remember the name of the movie .. but he played an alcoholic retired baseball player in the movie.. that was pretty goo
he was really solid in that one
I feel that way about Julia Roberts--not authentic
same scrabby
he was also pretty good in Bull Durham
julias eyes seems glazed over most of the time
i liked him in bull durham
Fake lips
done
and tin cup
And now you may begin your day, phaeton!
wd phae!!!
lol...maybe...other games to play!
I think it was "The Upside of Anger" .. he played a drunk retiree.. he was really good in that
ty all...happy babbling! and chatting!
Julia Roberts is always Julia Roberts. She is the same in every movie.
Yep
beth
je concur.. she's boring
Free Word Friday!
I am always amused at how often "it was his best role" is said about an actor playing an alcoholic.
Haha
Must be all the drama involved. : )
maybe theres deep background knowledge involved
well the academy awards mostly go to female actresses who play drunk hookers.. what does that tell you
about the committee giving the awards?
i guess also deep background knowledge ;)
Personally I think one of Meg Ryan's best roles is in When A Man Loves A Woman. A movie that is very painful for any child of an alcoholic to watch. Especially kids of alcoholic mothers.
I've never seen that movie
neither have i
I always think of her as a bubble head actress
want a painful one? watch lorenzo,s oil with nick nolte.wife will not let me play it again
Gotta go. Time to hike. We are going to make a fire and cook lunch! Pancakes, eggs, coffee, yummy.
like Sleepless in Seattle

Thank you all so much
yvw

The te8/45 uses the same first four letters + two word negative + a Freudian word

stats for the bottom row D please
that is the def of Babblet....isn't it?
da 4
da4.9
Morning all
da6 for the bottom d jmc
ty ty
and ty
hi lynxxx and movie
I was told the other day, that enema is a Babblet because a Babblet is a word not used in everyday conversation. The only definition of Babblet I have ever seen is "words only seen in Babble".
hi lynn and MM
au6 anyone? is it a babblet?
that person was obviously never a nurse. lol
au+rank
goodness enema is not at all obscure!
Funny you should say that Hego because there was a nurse around at the time who said "I'm a nurse, and I don't use it in everyday conversation." I think of Babblets as words like inia, nene, etc.
enema and an ancient egyptian unit of capacity is a bit of a difference in rareness of usage i'd say
and i would argue that altough i LOVE using zarf in conversation it is still a babblet
pb, molly
takes all kinds to make Babble, Molly.
crossy si back! how the zarf is everyone? lol:))
zarf?
Zarf = Babblet, yes. Enema = Babblet, not quite.
I agree Molly.
still don't see how letters of the hebrew alphabet can be part of an english dictionary! -- they are babblets as far as I am concerned
And you're right Hego. All kinds and then some.
i learned zarf in babble land . .. it has two definitions
Hi Nan.
hehe,though it was good timing to pop in just then;)
Nan, how are the French, German, Scottish, etc. all parts of an English dictionary?
lol Crossy
french and german, I agree -- scots is an English dialect
one is the holder of a glass cup with out a handle and the other is an ugle and repellant male
hahahahhahahahhahahahhaha
*don't think gaelic should be part of it either!
*ugly
little babblets in your clothing,little babblets in your hair,if you look twice you,ll find those babblets everywhere...
but nan, it;s just how you say hebrew letters in english
oddly enough spanish is rarely in accepted in the grid
por favor!
but hebrew is still a foreign language
make my cojones crawl hehe
but how else would you say, in eglish, the name of a hebrew letter?
greek's in there too, alpha, beta, etc
Well, as is ALWAYS pointed out, Enable is a word list, not a dictionary.
Hi all
Crossy is making anatomical references!
is not enable wonderous?
whereas I think spanish is too often accepted...I never know them. now shall we start on how American spellings of english words are accepted?
howdy boo
ahh yes..american english
hi Boo!
How is everyone
american and british spellings!
I can live with that - American English is also a dialect
:-P
personally i have gotten to where i never know if it is grey or gray
lol,speaking bronx though your nose is a dialect,american english on the other hand i believe is a attempt to save on ink-jet cartridges
hehe
I say that all these words make for interesting grids - who wants it simple, we would lose interest very quickly
lol Cross
indeed
clue for da6 please
hi all.. "nene" was on Jeopardy last night!

good idea jmc,plus the header looks good on resumes
*blush*
wow faux pas there!
*runs and hides in corner*
come back JMC, you were already excused.
though that weak beer is great for boilermakers.just toss the full shot glass in and it all slides back like mothers milk
I am sure a job that is right for you will come around soon.
it was a typo.
*passes jmc some green food color* now you can have green drinks whenever you want :)
i appreciate being forgiven

Tax preparation people must think in terms of the 15th

Hi Peri!!
I do hope that all goes well for Frank
A big moaner, Peri.

It's a superlative Peri. Of the grape drinker.
the most alcholic like
it goes from the w over to the right side and up and curls back around like a question mark, peri
ty ty
think chianti
Wow, three clues and a map.
superlative words are almost as dumb as un and non words
just checked FB, crossy.. no word so far
ba8 gets my vote for a dumb superlative.
yes that is a really dumb one
thanks, i hadn't found that yet. it is mighty silly.
i assume ba8 means the most childlike. . .otherwise i am with you
no def. listed
Clue for an 8
most like a building where animals are houised
I wonder if it is a word which has become common though mispelled...the N should be an M...and so means the craziest
But (in my best old nun voice) we are supposed to learn something from words we do not know.
boo, pick a superlative, any superlative.
nice parody molls

just past halfway (155 left) and I am leaving for now - might come back later.
I used to have a Mama Bear and it was the best I ever had.
if you lose power you lose your stove....as it needs to run with a fan...pellets break down with humidity and just movement of them.....the dust caused by the breakdown will clog your stove and it will not run efficiently and may eventually cause a fire. It need special venting that a wood stove does not need
I knew nothing about them until I went to the seminar...I have a wood stove and love it....after hearing what I heard today, I will never have a pellet stove..
ooohhhh.....river, that is very interesting and thank you. I was actually contemplating one upstairs but no longer. Thanks for the info - greatly appreciated. See, that seminar turned out well for me, anyway!
its more because a lot of folks improperly vent them...they need air flow to work properly...and all pellets dont necessarily will work in the stove your purchase. We saw a couple stoves today that caused fires...it was scary!
we had a wood stove for many years, burned discarded pallets for heat.. only problem = air pollution from the chimney
they also showed us some real red-neck set ups for chimneys...although comical it was sad how folks take the chances they do
It's unfortunate how many people buy things and then don't learn how to use them properly. The result? Labels like the one on powdered infant formula that say: Add water before feeding.
the 2nd ta5please
Riteway woodstove..
we burn pallets for sugaring but not in the wood stove. We have an iron arch with an evaporator for making maple syrup....that can handle the pallets just fine but we wouldn't think of using them in our wood stove...be careful Aloy!
what you get in the sun plus "** be or not to be"
thanks aloy that finishes the Ts
thanks for that T Aloy
wood stove is gone now, River.. we had to buy a new furnace and needed to remove it; btw, we did have two scary chimney fires!
and.. your comment on sugaring made me laugh.. we tapped our trees and made the syrup in the kitchen, ergo stripping the wallpaper and making one holy mess on the ceiling!
We clean our chimney every year from top to bottom....lots of creosote builds up with a stove....and make sure you burn the stove right so it doesnt just smoke and smolder....we have been lucky so are...25 years and the chimney is still fine
snort
we ruined a stove that way be boiling over...never again
Hi all, update in my profile and on Facebook
we get to almost syrup in our sugar shack and then cook it to the right temp on a propane set up....when it is ready we then bring it in to keep at temp and bottle
Sue how are you and how did the surgery go?
Will look
Thanks for the update Sue. I'm sorry you have to wait for more results. I'm very glad that you didn't wait any longer to get this treated.
will continue to send positive thoughts and prayers and will think about you next Tuesday
Adds my positive thoughts to Teach's.
Praying for you and Frank Sue...
and mine! Good morning from Aus!
Thank you all so much!!! He is sleeping right now, hope he can get some more rest.
Make sure you get some rest too, Sue.
all best wishes, Sue -- appreciate the update . . .
read your post, usue.. keep the faith, both of you.. my sister went through a similar situation, transverse colon.. not pleasant, but now she is back at work and traveling the world and counting her blessings.. keep the faith.. was it transverse, ascending or descending?
big hugs uusue..
I will, Molly. Aloy, descending, I think, but some small intestine was caught in it too.
i would advise against pellet stoves .the auger that feeds the pellets from the hopper to the stove needs power of course and is noisy.the pellets break down over time and they burn much like burning scrap softwood in your fireplace in that they build up immense amounts of creosote that you must be on top of at all times.they are more suited to a commercial or work shop atmosphere where it is a suplimentary source of heat where power loss is not expected and noise is not an issue and not in a livingroom as an emergency heat source during power failures.imho,you would be better off with a free standing napoleon stove with a 2 foot firebox and a thermal steel heat sink stove fan for emergency heat
Sue, where is your son? Is he able to help you out through all this?
He's taking care of the animals, Molly, and will be here a little later.
He's been stopping by the house to talk to a frank all week too.
That's great. I wasn't sure if he was still in the area or not.
He's been quite helpful. And is a very sweet kid - you can ask Scrabbler, who's met him :-)
I'm sure he is, and I will take Mom's word for it. : )
Ok, I am going to find some food. See you all later, and again, thank you all so much for being here.

Be well, jmc
Niters jmc ..
Quick hello from me - it's been a good day for me but not such a great one for one of my best friends, even though it was her 5th wedding anniversary (2nd marriage). However, now I've heard from her I can stop worrying quite so much.
((((Jac))))
Hi Jac
With Molly in charge of clues, I doubt you need me for any.
Hi Molly. How has your day been?
Oh but you clue so much better than I do. Stick around. : )
My day has been good, thanks. Glad yours just got better.
I can't stick around for long, I've got a shopping list to do after some sleep, plus doing the shopping.
Okay, but no sleeping while shopping.
Molly - it did just get better. (Sort of.)
I couldn't possibly sleep whilst shoipping, since I have to keep an eye on where the Other Half is wandering off to with the trolley (shopping cart). I keep threatening to buy one of those toddler handcuff things for him, and I will do if he doesn't stop his wanderings. Can't even ring his cell to see where he's got to in some supermarkets, since many of them have no signal.
At least he's not heaving this, that and the other expensive thing in your cart.
Is he not? No, since he's paying for it. lol
I just don't like being marooned mid-shop with my arms full of stuff to put into the cart when he's wandered off with it.
You need to cuff him then. : )
I do!
I'm off to bed now, Molly. Will leave you to clue, if anyone needs it. x
Bye Jac
evening folks
hey jes
how goes it, stid? Lucky enjoying the snow?
no snow on this side of the mountains! :-) but COLD. down to the 20s F tonight.
I am not looking forward to snow, will increase my drive times by rather a lot. WHEN I can get out the driveway.
heh. been snowing here all day--puny snow with almost no accumulation, but snow nonetheless
yes, the forecasters were taking great delight talking about your impending start of winter weather.
heh
I had such a lovely day, though it was cold it was sunny and dry, and the kids (4th grade) got to be outside every recess
excellent :)
yep. hard to argue with sunshine. :-)
how's the clinic going? getting things sorted to a dull roar most days?
heh. most days, things go wel
well
good to hear. and the amazing bruce?
he's well. went to a doctor for chronic headaches this week, and got new drugs.
today was his first day on the new meds and he seems happy with it - only needed to touch up with ibuprofen once, and he's been alternating ibuprofen and tylenol every 6 hours for months.
oh, I hope he gets permanent relief! Headaches suck. I was so glad when I figured out the trigger that was giving me daily migraines last year...
have you heard how uusue's frank is doing?
i am happy they didn't find a tumor or something evil causing his headaches!
me too -- tumors are so scary.
Last I heard Frank was out of surgery and back in his room.
oh good
hi stid and jes. I am glad things are going better for both of you
hi bugs :)
Mr Bugs took me out for dinner tonight so I still have 154 to find before the flip. how likely is that?

Yes, we were able to visit with her on our way to your place. I am so glad we saw her!
I am glad you and your Mum have those memories.
yes, and lovely new memories from the rest of the visit, too.
oh goodness, Hetty? So sorry

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

Hi sue. I read the news already. I am sorry he got what he most feared
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
well, as the surgeon said, it has saved his life. I keep pointing this out (and also it is temporary). We are a whole lot more worried about the cancer than anything else.
pretty scary stuff
exactly and this is the best way to be sure it is gone completely!
it's the beginning of the road to recovery, as I keep telling him
I am stopping at 191 words and 177 points. I'll stay to clue whatever I can with the words that I have for a little while.
I am glad you can do that for him sue.
we have so many friends - lots of people have been visiting, which has been really nice
I am glad. They may tire him out but they will keep his spirits up
thanks for the AU
