12:55 am

lady in flat below me was supposed to have hip replaced two weeks back: two days before op, hospital rang and said "can't do, you have already had a broken leg"?!! turns out local records computerised wrongly for a broken toe at age 16. But they still haven't done the op. Bad.

12:55 am

ru, why not stay up and watch the end

12:56 am

scouser, how awful.

12:56 am

lol flosey

12:57 am

tomorrow I'll make ham sandwiches with mayannaise

12:57 am

I worked for a doctors' practice some years back and did that job of "computerising the records."

12:57 am

lol - live dangerously

12:57 am

ooh, yum...hey everyone, lunch at ruru's tomorrow.

12:57 am

<<---mister on the edge

12:58 am

I roasted a chicken tonight with veggies.. came out nice

12:59 am

Crying 96 tears?

12:59 am

1:01 am

Captain Scarlet, da da da da da Scouser

1:01 am

morning all

1:02 am

hi Glan

1:03 am

just a little babble before work - new experience for me today i am taking the bus to work :-)

1:04 am

oh oh, going to do a ru - "where will you put it"

1:04 am

groan..... in the bus station, of course

1:05 am

ru just went to bed, couldn't resist it

1:05 am

darn it, i missed him, he always makes me smile

1:08 am

hey glant

1:08 am

thanks Glan It was the Mekon in Dan Dare. Showing my age!

1:09 am

i loved the Mysterons, but don't remember Dan Dare - heard of him but don't remember him

1:10 am

It was a 1950s comic for boys but my dad bought it for me! Dan Dare had space adventures.

1:11 am

It was called "The Eagle"

1:11 am

I think Captain Scarlet may have started my love of Sci Fi LOL

1:11 am

and if you were a girl you were supposed to read "The Girl". !

1:11 am

Think The Eagle was still going in the 60s! I know I saw it as a kid!

1:11 am

so i would have liked Dan Dare, guessing you are probably just a few years older than me

1:12 am

More. I'm 68.

1:12 am

If you were a girl when i was little you read Bunty, then Jackeie

1:12 am

but I read the Dandy and Beano

1:12 am

I'd forgotten about Jackie! Loved Beano! But def into Jackie as I got older!

1:13 am

One of those last two has just finally printed its last issue - but I think it has gone digital. There was a requiem for it on Radio4.

1:13 am

well, I've done my first walk through the grid, down to 42 and better move myself if I am to catch this bus, back later, when the weekend will have started, thankfully!

1:14 am

Have a good day :)

1:14 am

I've got 16 left and must get on as grandchild will wake up soon. Happy Christmas to all.

1:14 am

Have a good day :)

1:24 am

anyone here who can advise me on how to address a problem with mother mac? she has developed 'old lady smell'. she has a shower with a carer 3 times per week. the other 4 days she is supposed to just have a hand wash at the basin. the smell is becoming very bad. don thought something had died under her bedroom, and he doesn't have a good sense of smell.

1:25 am

oh dear, rose, that's a nasty one

1:27 am

i know, flosey. the smell makes me nauseated. i can't work in the laundry. her daughter can't smell it. so i can't ask her to help. she would very affronted to think her mum smells.

1:28 am

and how horrible to have to sit at a meal table

1:28 am

i was thinking of asking her care-co-ordinator if the funds are there for an extra 3 showers/week.

1:28 am

does daughter really not notice it? or is it that she doesn't want to take any action

1:29 am

yes rose, by all means do it

1:29 am

explain to them how difficult it is to live with it

1:29 am

daughter simply cannot smell it. she is a hairdresser, and the chemicals she has worked with all her life have destroyed her sense of smell

1:30 am

well, what a blessing, perhaps Mom could live with her?

1:31 am

rofl....yeah right! mother mac says living with me is like living with a doctor. pls daughter does not live just around the corner from a hospital, as we do.

1:32 am

is it that she perhaps needs pampers (or whatever it is you call the adult ones)

1:34 am

no, i don't think so....mother mac has become physically unable to attend to 'down there'

1:35 am

oh dear, rose, I hear you, we had a relative who would drop in and I could definitely not ask her to stay for dinner - wouldn't be able to eat. She seemed totally unaware - and believe it or not, was a nurse

1:35 am

HAD BEEN, I should have said

1:35 am

flosey, need to go, dinner ready. could you please email me perhaps? could go on with this on-line later

1:36 am

sure rose, hope you can enjoy dinner

1:36 am

night, dear friend. for now

1:37 am

night rose, and hugs

8:24 am

:>

8:26 am

good afternon all. finished work and just come back to the grid - immediately saw 5 words i couldn't see at all 6 hours ago - how does that work?

8:32 am

Good morning, Babblers. And Merry Mayan Apocolypse!

8:39 am

Wishing you happiness for the season and beyond Judi

8:41 am

Ah, come on now, fest is not in the Babble dictionary? Hello.

8:42 am

I've bee trying it fairly frequently recently cos I can't believe that either :-)

8:43 am

The choices of words seem rather arbitrary....that does bother me. Also including foreign words is disturbing and seems to disallow many from completing grids.

8:44 am

Glad I'm not that ambitious and can settle for simply getting as many words as I can and enjoying that. Otherwise, it would make me NUTS.

8:44 am

manyn foreign words - especially spanish ones, which I never remember because spanish isn't spoken here as a rule

8:44 am

I have to finish it LOL

8:45 am

there are soem very odd words today - I am close to finishing so have resported to morewords here and there

8:45 am

Bless you, G....and may you be able to preserve your sanity.

8:45 am

and my typing is terrible

8:46 am

I find it endearing when people misspell words in chat...makes me know I'm not the only flawed individual in the world!!

8:47 am

actually, i have realised today that thanks to babble my vocabulary now includes all sorts of strange words which i have no idea of how to pronounce or what they mean :-)

8:47 am

I just know them because they a re repeated in the grids

8:48 am

To me, perfect is only a concept that doesn't exist in reality. However, improvement and evolving are always good things.

8:49 am

As the arabs say 'only Allah is perfect' - thye even go so far as to include a deliberate imperfection in things so that they remain imperfect

8:49 am

No effort required from me for imperfection!!

8:49 am

Me neither, although I always strive to do my best

8:50 am

I enjoy the grid but I'm mainly here every day because I really like the community of people...very special.

8:50 am

hello...may I have the stats for the af6 please

8:51 am

what exactly is wrong with 'stonk'? We often say 'that's a stonking great (insert noun here)', never realised it wasn't a real word

8:51 am

af6/27

8:52 am

first 3 letter are rear of ship

8:52 am

10:18 am

Good Morning Everybody. How are you all on this fine,cold, sunshiny day?

10:33 am

Hello from me. It is cold and early evening here but still in good spirits. Just marzipaned my christmas cake. How's you?

10:35 am

doing okay. you marzipaned your cake? I've never heard of that before. Was it lots of work?

10:37 am

Made cake a few weeks ago, then I marzipan it before icing it. Stops the oils from the cake seeping through to the icing.

10:38 am

Ahh1 I was thinking Way off then! :-D I was imagining little marzipan flowers, animals etc. (Can you tell I'm not much of a baker or chef? :-)

10:40 am

Nor am i!! Just read your profile, I had a hip replacement 6 years ago, took a while but now it is great.

10:41 am

Mine healed great; I've had no problem with it at all. I just had thumb/hand surgery the beginning of November and that's taking longer to heal (I think)

10:43 am

Think all surgeries affect us differently. My hip one took over 6 months to heal, others done in 6 weeks. Maybe it is the same with your hand? At least it is done, now comes the being patient part....

10:45 am

Yeah. Being patient is tough this year... DH had 3 back surgeries (the last was a cervical fusion 3 1/2 weeks ago and I had hoped to be doing better for his sake by now.

10:46 am

But the hand therapists say I'm doing well for 6 weeks out; so I need to believe them and keep going! :-) I do my exercises etc. ASAP

10:47 am

errr as much as possible.

11:59 am

and today was my father's birthday

12:00 pm

((hugs))

12:01 pm

I've lit a candle even though he's been gone a long time

12:01 pm

Mine's been gone 13 years and I think of him and still miss him often.

12:02 pm

my dad died in 2001, in NY, but before the catastrophe

12:03 pm

my mother has been gone longer than that and I miss her EVERY day

12:03 pm

at least he, as a very old man, got to visit us in France

12:03 pm

I still have my mom, she's 92 and going strong! It's nice.

12:04 pm

you are very fortunate!

12:05 pm

Yep...but I was closer to my Dad, he and I are very much alike. But God has his reasons, this has enabled me to improve my relationship with my Mom.

12:07 pm

that's a good way to look at it

12:07 pm

a gift of time

12:08 pm

And one of my sons hugs me just like Dad used, so that helps.

12:10 pm

that was a quick half; the good company helped!

12:11 pm

LOL, not even close..you are faster than me :-)

12:52 pm

12:54 pm

12:54 pm

Alas, poor Peri. The liquor store was doing a healthy holiday business when I was in there yesterday.

12:55 pm

I am sure it was

12:55 pm

my dad used to have a bourbon and ginger ale once in a while

12:56 pm

Does anyone know where smores is? I'm missing her so much!!

1:30 pm

hello everyone :)

1:31 pm

Hi, nan!

1:31 pm

Hello mimi, I haven't been on the last two days...so I havent seen smores.

1:31 pm

Hi nan!

1:32 pm

Molly...are you around?

1:32 pm

Heya Jill, what's up?

1:32 pm

Hi, Jilly! Haven't seen smores here in several days...the mom in me is starting to worry.

1:33 pm

Mimi was asking about smores

1:33 pm

i thought i saw her a couple days ago. holidays and all, she could just be out shopping

1:34 pm

hi again everyone.

1:34 pm

Ni, Nef!

1:34 pm

Hello nef! We are talking about smores...have you seen her on lately?

1:34 pm

how are you doing? How's everyone doing?

1:35 pm

Leslie, if you see her on again, please ask her to email me at my address in the profile so I know she's OK. I'm now checking several times a day for her.

1:35 pm

Jilly; I haven't been on much lately either. But I was here in the evening yesterday and earlier today and didn't see her yet

1:35 pm

actually i just went back and checked, she hasn't been on since the 10th.

1:36 pm

why, Mimi? Is something wrong?

1:36 pm

I know she works nights sometimes. Wow---since the 10th!! Now I'm really worried. Is there a way for someone to contact her? No, nothing really wrong, Nef, it just isn't like her to be gone like this.

1:36 pm

Dang...now my mother radar is up...certainly hope she's just gone somewhere for the holiday

1:37 pm

Didn't mean to worry you, Jilly, but smores was my first friend here and I've grown attached to her and her adorable personality.

1:38 pm

aww

1:38 pm

Well, it's just that I am fond of her as well.

1:38 pm

If I contacted Dr. God, could she get in touch with her?

1:38 pm

Hey, something as easy as the Holidays and maybe computer problems can cause absences

1:39 pm

he's probably got her email on file, but i don't think he's in the habit of contacting users for others

1:39 pm

saw smores on a couple of afternoons ago

1:39 pm

guess it was more than that if she hasn't been on since the 10th

1:39 pm

heck, i was gone for a few years once

1:40 pm

On the bright side, when I first started I quit playing for a bit...until harpjane told me everyone was asking about me..

1:40 pm

:-)

1:40 pm

jilly do you know harp in real life?

1:40 pm

If you see her again, nan, would ask her to email me at the address on my profile so we won't worry? I'll contact Dr. God anyway and ask....no harm.

1:40 pm

they live in the same town, lA

1:40 pm

ah.

1:41 pm

LA

1:41 pm

Yes LeslieAnn, we are friends. She got me into Babble

1:41 pm

I think they are real life friends too

1:41 pm

<-----!!FW!!

1:41 pm

oh it is fun when i find out people are all interconnected

1:41 pm

If I find out anything about smores I'll post it at several times of the day.

1:41 pm

nice work jilly!

1:41 pm

YAY, JILLY!!!

1:41 pm

Holiday time is usually pretty busy for people who work and have young kids.

1:41 pm

Are you on FB mimi, we have community page there

1:42 pm

YAY, Jilly! Funny how fast you can get FW if you don't chat all the time! ;-)

1:42 pm

lots of little easy words today, and pl

1:42 pm

good point, Jilly

1:42 pm

ok mimi -- grats jilly

1:42 pm

I now em with a couple of people here---rubyfoo and I are nearly daily em chums.

1:43 pm

I do have FB, Jilly----do I just enter Babble?

1:43 pm

hold on i'll get the link

1:44 pm

https://www.facebook.com/groups/106468\n556072681/

1:44 pm

try this: http://tinyurl.com/cq4zf9f

1:44 pm

thanks jilly

1:45 pm

I didn't see smores on the list of babble names in our FB page

1:45 pm

don't know why putting links in the chat adds a random \n in the middle now

1:45 pm

I know we chatted about the FB page once

1:45 pm

That long link isn't going to work. For some reason, chat

1:45 pm

inserting a random /n into urls posted

1:45 pm

Well LA seems to have escaped the long url debaccle

1:46 pm

It's also blowing the chat width.

1:46 pm

*!* ta da *!* - a lot of babblets and stupid pt's today

1:46 pm

Thanks, ladies. Guess I shouldn't be so concerned but the heart attack I had earlier this year made me really stop taking people for granted.

1:46 pm

WooT WooT WooT nan!!

1:46 pm

nice work nan

1:47 pm

It's ok mimi...that's how we all are here. We have lost babble buddies in the past...

1:47 pm

YAY, Nan!!! WTG!!!

1:47 pm

Hooray, nan! I'm going to check FB now and if no luck will contact Dr. God. BTW, I'm fond of all of you as well.

1:47 pm

molly what browser are you using that's having issues with chat width

1:47 pm

try checking in during the afternoon, mimi - if she is working nights that is probably when she babbles now

1:48 pm

Chrome

1:48 pm

And someone I thought was lost is now back again; after a coupple of years

1:48 pm

hmm. i know dr. g. suggests firefox

1:49 pm

or maybe jerks should just stop posting long URLs

1:49 pm

I don't think it's a browser issue. Neither is the random /n

1:49 pm

sorry for the typos; I've been typing too much now

1:49 pm

I use Firefox so maybe that will help. Anyway, gone for a bit. Will post whatever I find out. HAGD all and good to talk to you.

1:49 pm

kids arriving tomorrow - can't wait to get my hugs in with those 3 little ones! Must go and finish wrapping. hagd - back at the flip :)

3:00 pm

hey autumn!

3:02 pm

Just got word from Dr. God who said it wasn't his/her place to get in touch with someone so we could tell if they are OK....h'mmmm.

3:02 pm

Hello, zTink

3:03 pm

hey BR

3:03 pm

Hello

3:06 pm

Hey, autumn! We have something in common. MANY years ago I used to party on Bobby Unser's houseboat!!

Hi Mimi. I wish I could have partied with you! That must have been fun

3:11 pm

Suffice to say, due to the amount of alcohol consumed at the time, my memories are just a bit hazy!! But, yes, it was fun. I used to work pit crew just keeping stats.

3:11 pm

had to break down and list for the last 7. ap6 is my last?

3:12 pm

Leslie, did you see my response from Dr. God?

3:12 pm

yes i did.

Mimi- that's so cool. we went to Bristol this year. Our first cup race

3:12 pm

ah, ap + strike a ****. fireworks for me

3:13 pm

OK. Will let Jilly know when next she's here. GOOD FOR YOU!!!

3:14 pm

I used to do some amateur racing myself...just Porsche slaloms, but fun. Now I can't get my driver's license back until I pay off speeding tickets in two states!

3:15 pm

This is how I see it...I've been driving since age 16. I am now 61. I have had NO accidents because no one can catch up to me. So, they should forgive the speeding tickets and give me a medal because I'm saving lives!!

3:20 pm

Leaving again....back later for the smores hunt.

3:35 pm

hi everyone can i have an easy clue for the fa6/7 i didnt get the other clue

3:37 pm

fa7 = fa4 + petrol (for your car)

Hey, anyone know where John Wayne is? The NRA wants him to guard your kindergarten.

3:39 pm

3:40 pm

fanega

3:40 pm

sorry

3:48 pm

hey all, wandering in briefly. The SUN is shining here! I want to get back outside and grab a few more quince. Will make chutney tonight...

3:51 pm

and back out again. finally saw that pesky C for NBT. back again later... *poof*

3:56 pm

Hi BabbleRabble, I just now saw your message. I'm at work and I usually open Babble on my 2nd monitor and open other windows and click back once and awhile when I can.

4:18 pm

a Dirty Harry in every elementary school, Kap

4:22 pm

Dan, just walked in; I like your take! I know exactly what you're on about!

Clue for lone N please

4:25 pm

top or bottom, sg?

Bottom

Asten

Oops

4:26 pm

no6/24 - certain type of officer

Dont know that officer

4:27 pm

it uses both round vowels, if that helps

Got it ty

4:28 pm

yw

4:38 pm

clue for the af?

af is af + ** be or not ** be + **nta Claus

not sure what the heck it is tho :P

4:44 pm

Apparently it's a word that means foot and mouth disease. I've never heard a doctor use it though.

5:40 pm

hi all

5:40 pm

when did miss little 2bit become twins?

5:41 pm

af6 sounds like a sneeze

5:45 pm

Good morning :)

5:47 pm

hi liz

5:47 pm

i am glad to see the world did not end now that it is tomorrow

5:47 pm

I was about to say, so, we're all still here! Surprise!!!!

5:48 pm

haha! well you know they were on this side of the planet so maybe we will still be surprised! haha

5:48 pm

Wouldn't count on that!

5:48 pm

i did learn today that the mayan calendar did not even stop on 12/21/12 much less predict the end of the world

5:49 pm

not to worry i didn't go spend all my money thinking the end was near

5:49 pm

No doubt, there are people who've made lots of money out of this!

5:49 pm

mostly people who made t-shirts and postcards

5:50 pm

Or people renting out rooms in a small village in France, so I believe!

5:51 pm

really? what was the point of that?

5:51 pm

A couple of my friends were quite freaked by the whole thing. I find that quite surprising. My husband just read out that some people paid 1000 UK pound to shelter in an underground bunker belonging to Josef Stalin!!!!

5:52 pm

In this village in the Pyrenees, people expected aliens, who inhabit the jagged mountains, to board a spaceship and flee the earth!!!!

5:54 pm

In the UK apparently, people converged on Stonehenge - but that could just be because of the solstice, and here they all headed to Byron Bay, just south of where I am. That's the most easterly point of mainland Aus!

5:55 pm

I think that today, there are a lot of red-faced people around!

6:12 pm

People gather at Stonehenge every year on Solstice. I don't think it had anything to do with the Mayan prediction (which wasn't really about the end of the world anyway) : D

6:12 pm

Yes, I know that Molly - also at Byron Bay - but it was hyped up by the media and linked to the Mayan prediction, which wasn't really a prediction!

6:13 pm

hi folks!

6:13 pm

Hi welki :)

6:13 pm

Also hi Molly :)

6:14 pm

<-- knew the end of the world wasn't near since i owe too much money

6:14 pm

lol :)

6:14 pm

je? how many hours from dc to philly?

6:19 pm

better yet - just checked amtrak - $100 round trip - maybe in february, if you're free, i can visit?

6:20 pm

*talking to herself*

6:20 pm

Well, I knew you weren't talking to me!

6:22 pm

hehehe - if amtrak went to oz

6:23 pm

that'd be fun!

6:23 pm

liz, have you ever traveled to north america?

6:24 pm

Yes, I have - I've been to Canada - to Toronto and Vancouver and to several places in the USA. Next year we're joining a tour (yuck to the tour bit but it was practical) of the Rockies and a cruise to Alaska

6:24 pm

It's our big, once in a lifetime trip!

6:25 pm

ohh that's right!! i think you mentioned you'd be going (somehow) through edmonton - offer stands - if you're in alberta, we can try to finagle a meet up!

6:26 pm

Won't be in Edmonton - family lives near there, but are coming to meet us in Vancouver. It's all on a pretty tight schedule because it's a tour. But I hope to get back some time, when we'll be free agents.

6:27 pm

I look at this as an introduction - I wanted my hubby to be free to look and photograph - not to have to worry about driving.

6:27 pm

well you never know - closer to trip time, if you're up for it, let me know where you'll be and if we're in the same area at the same time, voila! a babble reunion!

6:27 pm

Sounds great!

6:28 pm

do you and your husband fish?

6:29 pm

Yes - I've fished a few times here - never did in London. He loves fishing.

6:29 pm

(okay, i admit it's a stretch - you said you're on a tight schedule, but if you flyfish, or even if you'd consider a charter boat, you're going to be in some wonderful country)

6:29 pm

Big smiles from the other side of the room

6:30 pm

we fished city lakes in victoria, bc and had a blast - and there's world class fishing just about anywhere in the provinces (bc and alberta)

6:30 pm

I'm sure, if the opportunity arises ... Got to go now. Off for a walk before the rain starts. Lovely chatting :) bbl

6:31 pm

and, if you happen to win a small lottery in the meantime, we have a very nice fishing boat and would be happy to have you as our guests

6:31 pm

bye, liz - tell your husband, "tight lines"

6:31 pm

Will do :) Bye

6:32 pm

the small lottery = more time in canada (not that you'd have to pay us a small fortune! LOL)

6:32 pm

bye

6:33 pm

lol! We've extended as much as possible - wish we could extend further!!!! Really going now! Bye :)

6:46 pm

yikes! If Lizlin is still around... quick meetup for coffee/dinner while she is in BC?

6:46 pm

I haven't been sick in many, many years

6:53 pm

*relieved*

6:54 pm

6:54 pm

Advent....

6:54 pm

Thankfully, no one has died...

6:54 pm

advent what?

6:54 pm

Although we all have been discussing that we haven't seen smores...hasn't been on since the 10th...

6:55 pm

I saw that conversation earlier, Jilly -- given her work schedule and all I wouldn't be too concerned this time of year. Massive shipping push until Dec 24.

6:56 pm

I'm sure she's fine.. probably just busy

6:56 pm

You mean babblers have lives?

6:56 pm

I haven't run her off yet with my sicko humor or bad puns

6:57 pm

some do jilly.. some do.. and some don't

6:58 pm

um, well I can't speak for other babblers, but I have side excursions... though not a "life" per se

6:58 pm

I can't talk about my side excursions here

6:58 pm

Hi. I'm just starting and see that there is a discussion of life. I vote yes.

6:58 pm

6:58 pm

if you peek at my blog jilly you'll see what I have done the last few days.

7:09 pm

Hey Stid!

7:09 pm

:D

7:11 pm

Good evening Babblers

7:11 pm

hey wht!

7:11 pm

hey wht-ster

7:11 pm

Hello, Wht.

7:12 pm

So I guess the world didn't end today.

7:12 pm

*Ties fingers up*

7:12 pm

hey wht

7:12 pm

gotta go. down to 33, not bad for a Friday. *poof*

7:12 pm

I ran a race today, and the medal was the Myan calendar. And I'm still here! ;)

7:13 pm

*giggles*

7:13 pm

I have all my Christmas presents bought and wrapped. It would have been such a waste if the world had ended before Christmas.

7:13 pm

Me too! Most organized I 've been in forever.

7:14 pm

nothing like the world ending to get you to clean up the sock drawer

7:14 pm

Don`t worry i amsure there will be another end of the world prediction soon..lol

7:15 pm

yeah probably from that whacko in Oakland

7:15 pm

Hey, if the world had ended we wouldn't be hearing anything more about the fiscal cliff.

7:17 pm

fiscal smishcal

7:17 pm

Good gosh did not realize the time was 1:20am...time for shut eye..bye for now.

7:17 pm

hi, are we all still here?

7:17 pm

I really don't want to think about that. Stupid posturing on both sides. I'd much prefer to look forward and be done with it.

7:17 pm

and what are the stats for the top n?

7:17 pm

night zooz

7:17 pm

night zooz

7:17 pm

nu 4

7:18 pm

night zooz!

7:19 pm

thansk

7:19 pm

welcoem

7:20 pm

lol ruru

7:20 pm

or should i say ruur?

7:22 pm

and what are the stats for the bottom n?

7:26 pm

Hi, all. Does anyone know if smores is OK? She hasn't been on for quite awhile and I'm concerned. I know she was working nights but I've looked for her several times during the day with no luck.

7:26 pm

no6.24, as an officer

7:26 pm

thanks seain

7:26 pm

ruur works for me too harp..lol

7:27 pm

i think she changed her name mimi

7:28 pm

Are you serious? Do you know what it is?

7:28 pm

yes

7:28 pm

yes

7:28 pm

Slesses

7:28 pm

Very funny. I'm actually worried, ruru.

7:28 pm

slesses, that is not as sweet a name as smores

7:29 pm

sorry..I couldn't pass up on that one.. she's probably busy with the holidays mimi.. i'm sure she's fine

7:29 pm

fa7 is a new one for me

7:30 pm

I asked others earlier and was told she hasn't been here since the 10th---don't know how they know that. But it doesn't seem like her to just not show up. My mom radar is working overtime.

7:31 pm

I even asked Dr. God if she could be contacted and let her know we're worried but DG said it wasn't her/his place to do so.

7:31 pm

I think Dr. God threw some old, moldy words into the grid today on the theory that they wouldn't be missed if the world ended.

7:32 pm

LOL wht

7:32 pm

but it didn't end

7:32 pm

hi all

7:32 pm

Hello, jmc!

7:32 pm

So we're stuck with them for at least another baktun.

7:32 pm

Hi jmc

7:33 pm

however long a baktun is

7:33 pm

I think Dr. God understands boundaries mimi

7:33 pm

I think DG OVER understands boundaries.

7:34 pm

what's a baktun?

7:34 pm

well the one time people worried about someone it kinda got out of control . . . the police were called and then they came on the chog and everyone got quiet and panicked and it was all a big ta-do over nothing. . .

7:35 pm

Well, if any of you see smores on again, please have her or someone let me know are my email address in my profile, please. With that, I'm gone.

7:35 pm

A baktun is a Mayan unit of time. I think it is 144,000 days, but I am not sure.

7:36 pm

will do mimi. . .try not to worry and have a good evening

7:36 pm

plenty of police in the chog jmc

7:36 pm

wow that is a hell of a lot of days!

7:36 pm

oh thanks wht.. never heard that before

7:36 pm

were you here that night ru?

7:36 pm

As a message board owner I can tell you that it is not Dr. God's place to be a go between. It's kind of an internet etiquette thing.

7:36 pm

Whoa, really, jmc? That's taking it a bit far. I only wanted DG to let her know we are concerned. Oh, well...I'll try not to worry.

7:36 pm

you mean shady? jm?

7:36 pm

yes I was here

7:37 pm

the police from the Isle of Wright came on the chog and asked to be contacted. . .

7:37 pm

oh.. no.. I wasn't here for that one

7:37 pm

when the police came on line the chog. . . which had been hopping. . .got completely still for about 10 minutes

7:37 pm

I remember that. It was interesting, to say the least.

7:38 pm

Guess I'm just being selfish....I miss her.

7:38 pm

mimi.. some people come and go here for a while.

7:39 pm

mostly they pop in from time to time.

7:39 pm

i finally told them the person was apparently all right and they said that since an investigation had been opened they had to speak to the person to close it. . .

7:39 pm

next time you see her mimi make sure you get her email so you can contact here directly

7:39 pm

i must have missed this one jm.. was this regarding Nancy Boy?

7:40 pm

no no this was someone else. . . i will email you if you want to know who. . .no sense dredging up embarrassing moments for people

7:40 pm

Wow....interesting chog!!

7:40 pm

OK...goodnight all. Thanks anyway. Hi and bye, Jilly!!

7:41 pm

goodnight mimi

7:41 pm

See you l8r mimi!

7:41 pm

I know what JMC is talking about. I think the point she is trying to make is that unless you know for a fact that something is wrong with someone, there is no point sounding alarm bells.

7:41 pm

I probably don't need to know.. especially if they're okay now

7:41 pm

it was a couple of years ago and they are fine

7:41 pm

yes molls that is the point

7:41 pm

that's good enough for me then

7:41 pm

hello jmc!

7:41 pm

i'm glad

7:42 pm

hi jilly!

7:43 pm

i need a clue for dummikes for the bottom row n please

7:43 pm

and for the top row N too

7:43 pm

no6/24

7:43 pm

nu 4

7:43 pm

is the top

7:43 pm

And that is why someone like Dr God would stay away from that sort of thing since there are too many cans of worms that are best left unopened.

7:43 pm

no6/24=term for military rank not an officer

7:43 pm

The bottom n is a plebe army rank

7:44 pm

clearly there is a problem with the definition of a "clue for dummies" here

7:44 pm

Exactly, Wht.

7:44 pm

ty ty

7:44 pm

ugh what a visual a can of worms

7:44 pm

LOL jmc....

7:44 pm

*tightens all available lids*

7:46 pm

nbt finally

7:46 pm

term comes from fishing...kids would put their worms in a can....

7:46 pm

Fireworks.

7:46 pm

Except the one on the Jack bottle, right?

7:46 pm

WooT WooT WooT wht!!

7:46 pm

I think that is tequila, Molly.

7:47 pm

Got that right molly!

7:47 pm

Oh yeah, worms...tequila...my bad.

7:47 pm

ACtually, tonight it will be a pint of Cold Smoke (local scottish ale)

7:48 pm

{hands Molly a marguerita to cheer her up}

7:48 pm

A whole pint? Whoo hoo, Jill gone wild.

7:50 pm

Thanks Wht, although I wasn't aware I was in need of cheering. *Slams margarita*

7:50 pm

*cleans up salt all over the floor*

7:51 pm

...friggin' lime wedges....

7:51 pm

*Gets out Mexican hat, for dancing*

7:51 pm

ha

7:52 pm

talk about sombrero over the rainbow

7:52 pm

It's a Not the End of the World Fiesta.

7:53 pm

really I thought we were toast-ada today

7:53 pm

really I thought we were toast-ada today

7:54 pm

chili today, hot tamale

7:57 pm

wht has lost touch of relleno... ooops reality

7:59 pm

You are assuming I was ever in touch with reality... but rellenos are another matter.

7:59 pm

@ Molly....it was a week that deserved TWO pints...

7:59 pm

I would never assume that. I know better. : P

8:00 pm

Well by all means Jill, let down your hair and go for the gusto.

8:00 pm

Reality is overrated....

8:03 pm

For my skiiers, I made a big pot of chicken vegetable soup tonight. Was rewarded with my son exclaiming as he entered the house..."Wow, something really smells GOOD". And he's eating his 3rd bowl...

8:04 pm

There is nothing like someone who notices the good smells of what you are cooking and says something about it.

8:05 pm

He told me he could smell it in the garage!

8:09 pm

Sounds like you are enjoying having your boy home.

8:09 pm

Did you hear the watermelon joke? It's pitful.

8:10 pm

*groans* Hi there BR....

8:10 pm

Yes I am Molly...just can't believe he is 30...

8:12 pm

I went into permanent denial once my older two hit 30.

8:14 pm

Lovely river that is...Denial...LOL

8:14 pm

hi all!

8:14 pm

Uusue!! (((hugs)))

8:15 pm

hi jill!

8:16 pm

firewords here - af6 was my last. tx all cluers!

8:16 pm

*waves to Pam*

8:17 pm

Good Evening again. Looking around here; I think there's a party going on! :-)

8:17 pm

WooT WooT WooT dan2

8:17 pm

yay dan!

8:17 pm

brb

8:17 pm

YAY, dan2!!! WTG!!!!

8:17 pm

and hi to dan, nef, and ruru!

8:17 pm

hi sue

8:18 pm

hi sue. How's it going?

8:18 pm

ok; Frank had a bout of nausea tonight but seems to be a little better now

8:18 pm

I bet the chemo is tough

8:18 pm

(((Sue and Frank)))

8:21 pm

he was actually ok until about an hour after they disconnected the pump, go figure, but this is only the first treatment

8:21 pm

DH came home with a bunch of emesis bags (unused; just so you know!) that were in his room. I had a migraine recently and those things work so much better than the emesis basins!

8:22 pm

ah, right now we just have a basin, but it's easy to rinse (and I know the bags but we don't have any)

8:23 pm

next time he goes in, ask for a couple "for the trip home" ;-)

8:23 pm

they are disposable

8:28 pm

will do :-)

8:28 pm

(the trip home is all of about 10 minutes, of course...)

8:29 pm

(((Sue and Frank and Nef and Frank))) hey again all

8:29 pm

have resorted to Lickety, going to try to finish

8:29 pm

hi stid!

8:29 pm

Hey, what happened to the tequila and the dancing? Why are we talking about barf basins? : O

8:30 pm

well, if you have too much tequila ...

8:30 pm

Hello, Sue and stid. Sue, good to hear Frank is hanging in there.

8:31 pm

(((BR)))

8:31 pm

hi, BR! it's just the beginning, but they have lots of good drugs if he needs them

8:34 pm

Well, good night all. Happy Babbling.

8:34 pm

night, wht!

8:41 pm

sweet dreams wht

8:44 pm

good night, wht.

8:44 pm

Hi BR. Are you staying warm these days?

8:45 pm

Yes, Nef. Pretty mild here.

8:46 pm

Stid, about wellness: http://www.definitionofwellness.com/

8:46 pm

Count your blessings! I take it you missed the snow too?

8:46 pm

No, I wasn't even aiming for it.

8:46 pm

that's a great definition, BR, thanks!

8:48 pm

:-P pretty funny, BR

8:49 pm

We had all kinds of winter weather warnings, wound up with 0.7" of snow. It was pretty windy, though.

8:51 pm

I prefer a little snow to wind...

8:52 pm

snow I can handle .... the wind and ice are the challenges

8:52 pm

we had less than half an inch; but just 10-15 miles south they had blowing snow and poor visibility at times.

8:53 pm

Was talking to a friend in Michigan ... forty mph winds with gusts and glare ice

8:54 pm

yuk! Not for me; I'm glad I didn't get it.

8:55 pm

hm. monkeyed my last word, the AF 6

8:55 pm

YAY, stid!!! WTG!!!

8:56 pm

thanks Nef

8:56 pm

how's your hand feeling???

8:56 pm

I guess I'll list now; I've been staring at this grid way too long and not finding anymore words.

8:57 pm

sore. But I've been doing too much again so whata should I expect? This whole "getting ready for Christmas" thing sure puts pressure on me.

8:59 pm

I just realized *I* amd "the matriarch" this week. We always had someone older who had that title

9:01 pm

wow nef... did you get extra gray hairs to commemorate the occasion? *wicked mama look*

9:03 pm

LOL! I'm either giving me more or pulling all my hair out; can't decide which tonight

9:03 pm

I am glad we don't observe those days, it saves so much time and pain...

9:04 pm

I'd like to do it like when I was young; but I don't have enough relatives to help! :-)

9:09 pm

May I please have a clue for ge5-14 the 1st? Thanks

9:09 pm

When my children were little I used to enjoy getting them fun items for special days -- we don't have the money now... we tend to get one item for the whole family once or twice a year and that's good enough.

9:09 pm

it's a babblet. GE*ius (smart person) + **w your boat down the stream

9:09 pm

and hello peach

9:10 pm

Hi there, stidmama. Thanks so much for the clue.

9:10 pm

yw peach

9:12 pm

Hi there, herin.

9:13 pm

stid; it isn't the buying, spending, etc. that I miss. I miss the family gatherings. My Grandma lived with the aunt and uncle who raised me and Gram had 8 other kids besides my Mom (who'd died). So holidays Everyone came Home and I had 56 1st cousins on that side of the family; it was chaotic; fun, busy, and very wonderful!

9:14 pm

hi herin

9:15 pm

It must have been wonderful, Nef. Great memories.

9:16 pm

I hated family get-togethers as a child, Tom's mother used to have dinners when most of her kids lived in a 100 mile radius but they made me uncomfortable. I don't like large groups. But Mother used to love family get-togethers when she was a child. I guess it depends what you grew up with.

We used to have family gatherings like that when I was a kid.

9:17 pm

hi herin and peach!

9:17 pm

It was and they are great memories. I remember being 9 or so and we had 5 of us girl cousins sleeping across a double bed. And my uncle would always pretent to shoot Santa (he was a very lousy shot; too!

9:17 pm

LOL what a funny uncle

9:17 pm

Hi there, Sue. Are things better today?

9:19 pm

he was very different like that. Usually didn't have much of asense of humor (that we could tell) but hewas pretty funny at Christmas

9:19 pm

FW Monkeyed the last one.

9:19 pm

YAY peach!

9:20 pm

YAY, Peach!! WTG!!!

9:21 pm

hi peach, Frank got his pump disconnected and then had a pretty bad nausea attack; seems better now

9:21 pm

and yay peach!

Can I please wish you all a safe holiday season.Since I am of a Christian background I wish you all Merry Christmas and Blessings be (from my pagan side)

9:21 pm

Oh Nef, you'll appreciate this -- my best friend's brother had his lungs replaced two days ago and is already breathing on his own and awake.

9:21 pm

One of the McCoy women (Hatfield's and) married my foster mom's bro

9:21 pm

Good for him, stid!

9:22 pm

Indeed, yes -- we are so glad he is doing well so far.

9:22 pm

wow peach... what an interesting connection!

O Stid that is wonderful. It is so sad when someone passes but so wonderful they passed the gift of life to someone else

9:22 pm

Lady, I hope you had a marvelous solstice. It was sunny here, a true blessing for us.

9:23 pm

We used to do lung transplants in the ICU I worked in; they were always so sick going in to surgery. Recovery was very rocky at times; but if any came back to see us afterwards we usually didn't recognize them since they looked so good after recovery

Thanks Stidy

9:24 pm

I haven't seen him in years, but I remember him as a strong, healthy young marine. My hope is he will again be strong and healthy. He has so many years ahead of him (he's several years younger).

One of my internet friends had MS and she never got her lung transplant so I think it is wonderful to pass this on to someone else. Thank you to any family that donates.

9:24 pm

OK, that wasn't worded correctly.....One of the McCoy woman's daughter married into my foster mom's family. They had too darned many children that were (strage). I always wound up in the back of a truck with them on the way to grandma's house.

9:24 pm

Sending healing wishes his way too, stid.

9:25 pm

Some of the tales are kind of funny now but they sure weren't when they were happening.

9:25 pm

It is a miracle that now people who die suddenly can still contribute to improving the lives of others. We will be forever grateful to the person and family who arranged for the organs to be donated.

9:26 pm

Ohh! Can you share a story or memory with us now, peach?

9:27 pm

yes, please?

9:28 pm

My kids have signed donor cards since they were 5 or 6. I cared for the first lady with the Jarvik 7 artificial heart and my son saw it. That machine filled the whole ante room

9:28 pm

I always make sure my driver's license says donor.

9:28 pm

wow Nef! that's amazing

WOW

9:29 pm

mid-1980's. That seems like such a long time ago. We've come a long way since then

9:31 pm

OK, Nef. One of the older boys took it upon himself to make sure I didn't fall out of the truck (it had sideboards) we were packed in there like young sardines....anyway this same boy wouldn't leave me alone and I would scream for his father to make him leave me alone.....and his father would come out and get a limb (no lie) and chase him and whomp him with it.....it worked for awhile but I knew I had to ride with him to get back home.....LOL

For some strange reason my back is completely having a sad today

9:32 pm

Gosh, peach! That doesn't sound like a "good" memory!

9:32 pm

Does weather affect your back, herin?

Never happened before.

9:33 pm

My grandma made great biscuits, so I guess the crap I had to take to get there was worth it....kind of. The blackberry cobblers were, oh, so good.

9:34 pm

YUM! Blackberry coblers sound divine!

9:34 pm

Herin, is it ok for me to send you some positive energy? It is like praying. Nef does this too.

My cousins used to play hide and seek with me then sod off to the creek to catch tadpoles

Or sit on me and fart on me. They were charming boys

9:34 pm

herin, did you sleep wrong or move wrong?

Thank you yes please GA

9:35 pm

Nef, I hope it is alright to volunteer you too.

I would say the bus ride did me in. I usually sit in the disabled spot to stretch out but it didn't feel right to do so around Christmas

9:36 pm

LOL, herin! We could be nasty kids too! My youngest brother was 6 years younger than me and us older kids used to play "let's run away from David!"

9:36 pm

no; that's fine and I'm sendingtoo.

I still rag on my cousins about that.

9:38 pm

*puts lady on my list*

9:39 pm

brb, need to help DH

My cats are being awfully quiet. It is a bit of a woorry

9:42 pm

back now

9:43 pm

Maybe they know you aren't feeling well?

Maybe they got worn out chasing the toy mouse on the strin

9:50 pm

I'm going to watch the news now. See y'all at the flip. Thanks for all the help.

9:52 pm

niters, peach. Take care! And Happy Holidays if I don't see you again this next week

9:57 pm

sweet dreams peach

9:58 pm

sorry, Matthew called and I had to talk to him. He did okay in his college classes this past quarter (which was not a given) so he is feeling relieved.

9:59 pm

Wonderful news,stid!

9:59 pm

Will he be home for winter break?

Have a great Day. I have tyo go

10:01 pm

bye, herin> Take care of yourself!

10:02 pm

later lady

10:02 pm

He doesn't live at home any more, Nef. He goes to the local community college and is living with a family friend closer to town.

10:03 pm

How is that going for both him and you?

10:04 pm

I have to head out -- will "see" you in Words later?

10:05 pm

Hi all :)

10:05 pm

possibly. I'm pretty tired myself tonight and may go to bed as soon as the laundry is done

10:06 pm

hi Lizlin

10:06 pm

26 left to finish!

10:06 pm

(brb; need to go change laundry loads

10:31 pm

I'm back; but will be mostly gone for the night. Happy Babbling, Everybody!

10:45 pm

Hmm, back...but mostly gone. : O

10:45 pm

Oh, I think I've missed her.

10:47 pm

Back, but mostly back :)

10:48 pm

Good to mostly see you, Min. : )

10:49 pm

Hello MollyL! How are you? Congrats on finishing early!YAY

11:26 pm

Oging...joke on JMC's post at 11:23

11:28 pm

slowly, slowly nef but thank you for asking

11:28 pm

Great minds Peri.

11:29 pm

peri will have 2 cups of it now

11:29 pm

i had an epifany the other day about it. . . .

11:29 pm

indeed,Molls

11:29 pm

I did check out the FB page for it

11:30 pm

when most of the organizations i work with were founded it you would call a bunch of people to come over and stuff envelopes and organize meetings. . . and energy would build. . . it is harder to do that online

11:30 pm

I can imagine!

11:30 pm

ty nef i appreaciate everyone who checked out the FB page. . . I will post something else before christmas

11:30 pm

I am going to read for a while. I am reading The Fifth Vial by Michael Palmer. It is quite good.

11:31 pm

bye peri enjoy your book

11:31 pm

I hear you JMC. On line is a cop out for a lot of people. A lot more impersonal than an actual conversation on the phone.

11:31 pm

it is a medical thriller

11:31 pm

may be bak for the flip

11:31 pm

back,even

11:31 pm

Thanks Peri, I will put that on my library list.

11:32 pm

I have read several of his books and really liked them.

11:32 pm

anything by him would be good, Molls.

11:36 pm

well i think i will head to my warm bed. . . cheaper than turning on a heater ;-)

11:36 pm

see you all tomorrow. . .bye all

11:36 pm

54 left *poof* (mostly)

11:38 pm

Nef, saw you are an ICU nurse, and I want to thank you for the tough job you've done over the years. I am not a 200pound man, but I am an ICU veteran if you will and those nurses have the hard jobs.

11:38 pm

was that a semi-poof?

11:38 pm

I wish i were a 200 pound man

11:41 pm

All about perspective, right ruru? I'll stick to being a 140 lb woman. ;)

11:47 pm

yes

11:47 pm

I loved my ICU job. But it's wrecked my joints. And I'd like to stick to being a 140 lb woman; but I'm a bit heavier than that :-/

11:48 pm

Well Nef, you have my thanks nonetheless. ;)

11:50 pm

And you have my prayers and good wishes, firefly

11:51 pm

I'm glad your 2nd surgery was successful too

11:53 pm

And now I'm mostly sort of going to bed. :-D Good Night everyone!

11:53 pm

glad I've never been in ICU.. I've never been in a hospital ever really

11:54 pm

Good evening

11:55 pm

I wish you a mostly nice christmas nef.. with semi good cheer and a partial family gathering

11:55 pm

11:56 pm
