started with h if that helps lol

1:21 am

haemoglobin????

yeah

1:24 am

was it high or low?

low

1:25 am

that usually means you are anaemic, low in iron in your system. coupled with a low platelet count...you need to be eating more green leafy vegetables and red meat.

but with cholesterol being high been told no red meat

and eat loads of green veg :)

1:27 am

sarah, lean red meat okay. can you eat liver?

yes love liver

1:28 am

well there you go, good source of iron.....but i'm afraid no bacon with it.

Hi again - so that's my missing z! Better get looking.

2:11 am

And the tr 5 - 2 weird words. Ty Rose :)

2:12 am

yeah....and dictionary.com doesn't know the tr5

2:12 am

An alternative spelling fot tr 5 / 18?

2:13 am

was wondering if it was a variant of tr5, scottish word for trousers.

2:13 am

lol, snap

2:13 am

Could be - who knows!

2:13 am

Great minds ...

2:14 am

That was unclear. The n in the middle of the row!

2:23 am

no4/4, no + **tion, country

2:24 am

Ty!

2:25 am

Couldn't see that one for looking!

2:35 am

2:36 am

See Rose's clue at 2.17

2:37 am

BBL

2:39 am

ap8, someone who mimics + ***n*r, someone who rotates

2:42 am

Got it - thanks

2:42 am

yay, dianne. well done

2:47 am

rats. the world did not end.

You hoped it would?

2:47 am

then i wouldn't have ever had to go back to work

Well yeah... none of us would have.

2:48 am

i'm not so very attached to life.

2:49 am

and am having a migraine

2:54 am

name that continent!

Ouch. :/

Continent?

2:55 am

there is a continent in the grid, yes

Oh, yeah. :P

Too bad it wouldn't work.

But the currency does.

2:57 am

if it worked we couldn't play name that proper noun with it. :)

Ha. I guess not.

3:00 am

so how are things with you negative neil?

Oh, not the best just now but could be worse... thanks. Kind of like you with your migraine I guess, huh?

3:01 am

i guess

3:02 am

you aren't really living up to your name, here. you seem to be looking on the bright side and whatnot.

Nothing a good night's sleep won't help... and no work tomorrow so I can sleep in. :)

Well. The moniker's just a joke, pertaining to my blogging style.

3:02 am

isn't it getting to the point where you should start on that sleep then? unless you're in hawaii...

3:03 am

they say the hours between 12 and 2 are the most vital for sleeping.

I've been blogging in that name since 2009... so since then it's been my only online username.

3:03 am

bloggity bloggity blog

Getting there, yeah. Trying to get rid of me?

3:03 am

no sir, if you go i shall have nobody to talk to!

Aww. :/

3:05 am

don't worry, the meds have taken the edge off my migraine so i feel practically paradisal.

Well Rose is here... somewhere.

Oh hey, that's good.

3:06 am

name that proper noun! north atlantic archipelago

3:08 am

Bore d, good morning all

3:08 am

good morning. ah, to be welsh.

3:09 am

ah, indeed :-)

Hi Glant.

3:10 am

Morning Neil

And no clue, hurshy. Not seeing it?

3:10 am

azores

Oh yeah... duh.

3:11 am

i prolly wouldn't have seen it either if i were on the guessing end!

3:11 am

i didn't see it either

I'm tired/drowsy... definitely not helping.

3:12 am

but then I've never been exactly sure what an archipeligo is...

3:12 am

an archipelago is a group of islands

A group of islands.

Oh, nm... hurshy answered. :P

3:13 am

ah. enable doesn;t like europe, which is also in the grid

Nope. Proper name.

But some people's names work... if they're also nouns, I'm guessing.

3:14 am

that's why i invented name that proper noun! it helps you get them out of your system.

Well they do in various word games I play online anyway... Boggle games.

3:14 am

that's what i find confusing

Haha.

3:14 am

hellooo, az4/9

I know.

That was a smart bomb.

I just have a smart phone. It's smarter than me.

3:15 am

???? monkeys have found it but i don't get it

3:16 am

maybe that's why i don't have a smart phone - insecurity

Haha!

3:18 am

uct

3:18 am

name that proper noun! masked defender of california

3:18 am

Sorry.

"uct"?

3:18 am

i don't think you need to be sorry for typing uct.

3:18 am

hey peach.

We have a masked defender?

3:19 am

not NOW

3:19 am

Zorro!

3:19 am

Sorry, neil......I was going to ask you something, but it really is unimportant.

Oh yeah... that's me with my mask and cape.

3:19 am

ding ding ding!

<- SUPERDORK.

What were you gonna ask me Peach?

3:20 am

hey lyn

3:20 am

so, what does the 9 start with?

3:20 am

to9, hurshy

3:20 am

Hey there, rose! I think neil is wishing I would get the hell to bed and let him be.

3:20 am

lol, peach he needs to be in bed also....

No. I'm just wondering what you were gonna ask me?

3:21 am

nothing like piquing the curiosity

Exactly.

And frustrating not to be told and be left to wonder about it.

3:22 am

woot, i found it!

3:22 am

yay, hurshy....nicely done

3:23 am

what is the other right E besides the currency?

3:23 am

Please, don't wonder about it.....I was just thinking that now would be a good time for ruru to be on, so that you and he would make me laugh.....puns and all.

3:23 am

puns? i can do puns. what shall we pun about?

Oh hell no... he wouldn't stay up this late.

It's 1:25 am here.

3:24 am

er5/14

Oh we had a funny session a while ago.

Let me find it.

3:24 am

thank you granny

3:24 am

means to belch

3:25 am

and what about the F besides the skinny ... i don't know if it is a rodent or something else... the pet that likes to steal your stuff

Ok start here at 2:16 am... http://www.playbabble.com/3497/\n10/19/2012

3:25 am

member of weasel family, for fe6, then add sometimes vowel for fe7

Ugh. Take the "\n" out of that.

3:26 am

3:26 am

thanks

http://tinyurl.com/cxczstx

3:26 am

3:26 am

There... that will work.

Want some jigsaw puzzles to do if you can't? :P

http://tinyurl.com/6pjwfkh

Are any of you here on Goodreads and in the Babblers' group on there?

thanks for the 9 I would never have got that one.

3:43 am

bigfoot

3:43 am

big furry animal

3:43 am

And fear/shock/surprise noises.

3:43 am

expressing surpris

Or that, yeah.

sorry

3:43 am

like crikey!

And again: are any of you here on Goodreads and in the Babblers' group on there?

3:45 am

not me

3:46 am

done!

3:46 am

well done hurshy

Oh, ok. There are some people in there who don't mention their Babble player names and aren't using them on that site. So it's confusing.

Wondering who some of them are.

3:59 am

well, 45 left and have to go fix breakfast - back later

5:50 am

hello everybody (anybody?)

5:50 am

Hi Ruby :)

5:52 am

hello lizlin, are you all ready for Christmas?

5:53 am

Don't actually celebrate Christmas, Ruby. Just had Chanukah! But how about you?

5:53 am

me, too, I just assume everybody else celebrates Christmas! lol

5:54 am

just lit a yahrzeit candle for my father, on his birthday, although I know that's probably not exactly right

5:54 am

Wish you long life! It was also my birthday yesterday!

5:54 am

this is such a tough year, that we're not doing any celebrating, beyond putting a wreath on the door for the neighbor's benefit

5:55 am

I could never remember if his birthday was the 221st or 22nd. so I lit the candle when it was still light yesterday and it burns brightly

5:55 am

he lived to be 93, going strong 'til the end when he fell

5:55 am

Sorry it's been so tough, but at least you've had a few good times - like London.

5:55 am

How many years is it?

5:56 am

yes, London was lovely and it was nice to be with family. My dad died in 2001, in April, before the catastrophe. My mother died in '95 and is sorely missed, every day

5:57 am

her birthday was the 27th

5:57 am

That's awesome - 93! My dad died almost 3 years ago - 85 - but sadly had been ill for a long time - alzheimer related but not alzheimers. My mum died in 1988 - just a couple of years older than I am now.

5:57 am

since I can't get yahrzeit candles here, or be buried in the local cemetery!!!, my DIL brings them from California when she visits

5:58 am

I also miss both my parents. Was lucky to have a very close relationship with both of them!

5:58 am

me, too. At least my dad got to visit me once in France before he died.

5:58 am

Can you believe I just ordered and received 5 boxes of chanukah candles from Sydney - the ones I could get here were pathetic!

5:59 am

I was very lucky with both of them and my mother was surely my best friend, ever

5:59 am

That's good that your dad was able to visit. Neither of my parents made it to Aus - I know my mum would

5:59 am

would've loved it and think my dad would too

6:00 am

my mother died before I got married (in '97), so she missed that, too

6:00 am

my husband grew up in an anti-religious ('tho Jewish) family and knows nothing about any of it

6:01 am

Dad saw a video of my wedding - in 2010 - I think he got some enjoyment from it.

6:01 am

My husband's not religious - I'm more than him but we've reached a good compromise.

6:02 am

Hello, Ruby and Lizlin :-)

6:03 am

hello zoozz!!!

6:03 am

Hi zooz!

6:03 am

Belated happy bithday to you, Liz!

6:03 am

tyvm! The world didn't end! Surprise!

6:04 am

Ruby & liz, great to hear you talk of your parents like that...am the same with mine except we lost Dad in 1990....sadly I missed seeing Mum this Christmas cos I haven't been the best, but we talk evryday by phone

6:04 am

yes, it may be gloomy out, but there are still (frozen) roses and geraniums in the garden and two happy dogs!

6:05 am

{{dizgrannie}} is used to talk to my mother every day, too,; I was in Miami and she was in NY

6:05 am

You're so lucky to still have your mum Diz - make the most of it! My hubby didn't have the same sort of relationship, so I appreciated what I had even more!

6:05 am

my husband, too, so he loves to hear stories of my childhood and my parents

6:09 am

why aren't the other forms of po4 (er, ie, ies) acceptable. Those are all things I call my dogs!

6:10 am

You know enable!!!!

6:10 am

doesn't everybody call his dog po4ie?

6:11 am

lol :)

6:14 am

9 to go. Really want to finish tonight, as we're out for lunch tomorrow!

6:16 am

just had to add logs to the fire as, although it's above freezing, it's very damp and dark

6:16 am

I only have 113 to go! hahah

6:17 am

61 for me.

6:17 am

Ah! But I started earlier today - came back just before you with 28 to go!

6:17 am

5 now!

6:18 am

I don't care so much, just happy to have a little chat and see some friends!

6:18 am

That's a lot of the fun of this site!

6:19 am

for sure and little by little, we get to know each other very well

6:19 am

That's so true :)

6:19 am

And it's nice to see how people care about each other.

6:19 am

6:29 am

Hello, Annie!

6:29 am

Hi Liz:)

6:29 am

ooh, ty, needed that comp. also

6:30 am

good morning, Annie!

6:30 am

Hi zooz :)

6:30 am

and hi to Aloy :)

6:30 am

enjoying my c

6:30 am

I used up all the good will I amassed from coming back early, and mr. gloomy is back

6:30 am

enjoying my coffee, my friends and babble

6:31 am

oh ruby, but mr. gloomy was always there

6:31 am

That's hard for you Ruby - hope babble land gives you a bit of light relief

6:31 am

yes, but he was so grateful for the first few days that he put a lid on it

6:31 am

it certainly does!

6:32 am

pepsi is just too proper, so is azores

6:32 am

You'll just have to go away again!!!! Shame about all the arrangements you have to make first though!

6:32 am

and europe of course!

6:32 am

no, I can't leave him alone again. It was just too hard for him to manage

6:33 am

brb.. seeking food

6:33 am

Yes I know that really :(

6:33 am

Can you get someone to stay with him?

6:33 am

Ok my belly is gurggling like mad time for a bite to eat..back later..nice seeing you all :-)

6:33 am

no, he wouldn't accept that

6:33 am

Bye zooz and aloy

6:34 am

so that's out

6:34 am

bye you two hungries!

6:34 am

I was thinking the same thing Annie. It seems a shame that Ruby is unable to get away when she needs it.

6:34 am

it's OK

6:34 am

at least those couple of days were fun but this is what I signed on for, so I just have to tough it out!

6:34 am

and hello molly

6:35 am

Perhaps he'll just have to accept a carer if you need a break? He might be angry but at least you get some time

6:35 am

Hi Molly :)

6:35 am

gm, everyone!

6:35 am

hi ibd

6:35 am

hello, dawg and molly :)

6:35 am

Hi lbd :)

6:35 am

toon

6:36 am

the problem is that he can't even do rudimentary things like use the telephone although I certainly tried to teach him

6:36 am

hi ruby, annie liz, molly, rolin, et.al

6:36 am

Ruby, I don't think THIS is what you "signed on for".

6:36 am

some of it may be a guise, but I can never be sure

6:37 am

alas, i'm with ruby, for better or for worse, in sickness or in health...

6:38 am

if he had some place to go (ex-wives, daughter, etc.), I'd pack his bag!

6:38 am

Hi rolin :)

6:38 am

Alas, I don't think anyone takes a vow to be treated as poorly as Ruby is for all the care and devotion she shows. It makes me sad. I'll shut up now.

6:39 am

<-- loves molly

6:40 am

ruby, my daughter arrived last nite and had very exciting news -- In March U of Mich is sending her to Paris for the 2013 Salon Du Livre!

6:40 am

(they sent her to Frankfort and Paris last year)

6:40 am

that is great news! she must be as smart as her mother

6:41 am

oh puhleeze! LOL

6:41 am

hi Unea!! who's your newest rescue?

6:41 am

DH went to U of Mich about 100 yrs ago

6:41 am

cool :-)

6:42 am

hey, dawg! that's MY baby in the pic but I'll change it to the latest -- adorable longhaired doxy boy :-)

6:42 am

oh no, keep your sweety up. i didn't realize she belonged to you.

6:43 am

Une! What exciting news for your daughter.

6:43 am

and congrats to your daughter!

6:44 am

indeed, annie :-)

6:44 am

urgh, keep losing first words in chat...like names...

6:44 am

99 and time for a nap

6:44 am

see you later, kids

6:44 am

dors bien, ruby!

6:44 am

later, ruby

6:44 am

Bye Ruby :)

6:45 am

Bye all - back tomorrow for new grid :)

6:45 am

bye Liz, sweet dreams

6:46 am

rest well, ruby, sweet sleeps, liz.

6:48 am

<<<< dawg, here's Hans, latest rescue, snoozing on the front seat :-)

6:51 am

off to start breakfast -- BBL -- good to see everyone :-) *poof*

6:51 am

enjoy, une

6:56 am

.. back.. Annie, is your building rewired yet?

6:57 am

Aloy, not yet, still on generators but they installed temporary transformers yesterday. We are closer to having full power restored but don't know when

6:57 am

ok, progress..

6:58 am

yes. there is so much equipment here and workers from all over the country

6:59 am

wow.. we don't realize, since it has not been on the news, that Sandy is still having effects on a lot of people

6:59 am

ooh, Hans is a handsome baby!

7:00 am

hi lbd.. Hans?

7:00 am

alas, there are still many many areas that are still devastated. People lost their homes. I was talking to a FEMA rep the other day and he said in his opinion that this is worse than Katrina.

7:02 am

:-( both affecting populous shorelines

7:02 am

hi Aloy. new rescue pic in Unea's profile.

7:02 am

oh, ty lbd

7:02 am

Yes, all the shoreline in brooklyn and southern Staten Island and New Jersey

7:07 am

Annie, I agree with the FEMA guy. Katrina hit an area that is somewhat prepared for such weather. This storm hit an area that is totally unprepared.

7:09 am

hi Molly

7:09 am

Hey Aloy

7:12 am

rats, I didn't see the jewel hidden in the grid

7:12 am

can I get the first letter of the jewel?

7:12 am

sure, it is T

7:13 am

Molly, I was away from the keyboard but I agree with you.

7:13 am

thanks, aloy

7:14 am

That's why I didn't get it. I think of a to5 as a stone. Jewels glitter. : D

7:14 am

yw (-: almost finished here.. plan on baking some cranberry walnut bread today

7:14 am

ok, gemstone

7:14 am

Yum

7:15 am

I am making pecan balls today.

7:15 am

again, yum

7:15 am

yum for pecan balls

7:16 am

hubby fixing chili and cornbread.. having some people over for a delayed solstice party tonight

7:16 am

Happy Solstice to all. Hooray for the return of the light.

7:16 am

let there be light!

7:17 am

guess we could also celebrate the fact of still being here after Armageddon

7:18 am

Well yeah, if you believe in that sort of thing. But the Mayan prophecy really had nothing to do with the end of the world.

7:18 am

oh.. any excuse for a party!

7:18 am

Of course : D

7:19 am

what the hey does tr 5.20 mean? ... going to look it up

7:21 am

LOL.. "brews"

7:21 am

rhymes, too.. doesn't take much to make me happy

7:23 am

7:25 am

Never mind, I got it!!!

7:25 am

9:30 am

fe6/27 animal

my daughter has been recovering from ACL surgery this week and last night was the first in a week that I was able to sleep thru the night. Ahhhh.

9:31 am

the F is an animal and being like that animal.

oh ty phaeton. tried the wrong spelling duh.

9:31 am

progress, GE... is your daughter getting better too?

9:31 am

ty sprite and yw GE

9:33 am

stats for the 9?

yes! last 36 hours have been a big improvement. while the drugs were very important the first couple days, she's been better with less meds.

9:33 am

and hi phaeton too!

9:33 am

am glad, GE. Sending lots of healing vibes her way.

9:33 am

hi sprite

9:34 am

hi bichon :)

nbt. i am going to go make my hair the color God intended it to be (in my youth).

9:35 am

hehehe... have fun GE

9:36 am

hello all! a sunny day here, lighting up the little bit of snow we got (I feel lucky it wasn't more, whew!)

9:37 am

hi rbud :)

9:37 am

hi rbud

9:37 am

snow is nice to look at, but horrible to navigate through

9:38 am

Do you get a lot of snow in the Netherlands

9:39 am

I haven't even thawed my little truck out enough to go anywhere in days, too much bother. :)

9:39 am

it is very different one year from another. Sometimes we have to dig our way out of our homes, other years we get not much more than a sprinkling.

9:40 am

just north of here in Wisconsin I guess they got around 10 or 12 inches.

9:41 am

first snow this year was about a month ago here. Now everything is gone, just lots and lots of rain. No white Xmas, I bet.

9:44 am

We had practically no snow last year, but tons the year before

9:45 am

at least we still get surprises ;)

9:46 am

my sister's in Wisconsin, dealing with her son being locked up for observation (suicidal) the other day, court hearing was yesterday, they had to postpone it till late in the day to wait for the roads to be clear enough. Some Christmas. :(

9:47 am

feel sorry for her, but I'm pretty cheery here myself as our nutty son has finally been acting almost human after years of similar stuff.

9:47 am

omg rbud, how awful. Am so sorry to hear that! I hope her son will see a bit of light very soon, and get the help he needs.

9:48 am

*grin @ almost human* Am happy for that, rbud! Nothing as draining as worrying about our kids.

9:48 am

yeah, it's been rough on her, and his dad (her ex) just wants to ignore it all and hope it goes away, it seems. and blame it all on her, of course.

9:49 am

the ass. Pardon my french.

9:50 am

most think the kid's just trying to manipulate everyone with threats to harm himself if he doesn't get his way, but of course being a mom one has to take it seriously regardless.

9:51 am

well, even if that is the case, the kid still needs help to figure out why he feels he has to act that way. And yes, I would always take such threats seriously.

9:51 am

she keeps asking me for advice and I have to say that nothing we ever tried seemed to work, just hang in there, it'll likely be a long tough ride. :P

9:53 am

the truth is always best, I think. Just you being there for her, to listen, is probably the best you can do for her. Tough shit to go through for her and her son, and since you've been there, you can certainly relate.

9:55 am

hard for me, she's one of those who calls and calls a dozen times a day, usually I ignore over half the calls, but feel obligated to take them now, sigh. she's a natterer. on and on about mostly meaningless stuff.

9:55 am

ouch :( I'd be inclined to limit her to once a day... but I am not good at nattering :)

9:56 am

lol, I often put her on speakerphone and just wander off, she never seems to notice I'm missing. ;p

9:57 am

that is really bad, lol. Is it a way for her to not think about her problems, maybe?

9:57 am

btw... darn, I am a phantom today

9:59 am

think so. she'll tell endless droning tales about the neighbor's friend's cousin, stuff like that...

10:00 am

of course now I feel like I'm doing the same as her, lol! I'll hush now. :)

10:01 am

ah yeah, I know the kind of stories. Makes it tougher to be there for her. And no, you are not... you are telling me about how YOU feel about it.

10:01 am

lol, don't hush... tell me, do you have things planned for Xmas?

10:03 am

not much, really, just a big cooking and eating event. we don't get many presents for the kids any more, just mostly give them money and let them get what they want themselves. their tastes and mine in gifts are far apart, it seems. Still want to put up the little tree, planning that for today.

10:04 am

no grandkids, so no fun there. A couple of stepgrands, teenage boys. no clue what to get them, either, lol

10:05 am

sounds very good, rbud :D We are gonna cook together, boys and girls teams. No tree, but lots of candles. And a nice breakfast. That is all.

10:05 am

teenage boys? Candy or money or both.

10:08 am

yes, they like money, lol! and candy too. they're usually not down here very long, they live elsewhere with their mom. (daughter's boyfriend's kids.)

10:09 am

think I may make them both a couple of big fleecy pillows, I have most of that here already.

10:09 am

lol, easiest persons to buy gifts for. But I don't like giving money.

10:10 am

oh, that is nice

10:11 am

the hardest to buy for is my mom, she never wants anything. I took a little bitty Christmas tree over to her place and decorated it for her the other day, she liked that. she hadn't bothered to put up anything.

10:12 am

she says she gave away all her Christmas stuff, but I"m betting it's there somewhere in a closet and she's forgotten about it. she's getting like that, very forgetful.

10:16 am

oh! I'm well over half, off to do something around the house. good luck to all, and a happy holiday!

10:20 am

bye hun, have a good one!

10:21 am

nbt

10:26 am

howdy my babble friends:)

10:26 am

((sprite))

10:26 am

Hi, Crossy.

10:26 am

howdy science:)

10:27 am

Crossy, I closed my FB account. Would you, please, email me at creativehabits@embarqmail.com. I wanted to be able to stay in touch.

10:28 am

will do science

10:28 am

thanks. too much harrassment from a bag of gun freaks

10:30 am

info sent

10:30 am

i know the feeling science

10:30 am

ty

10:32 am

I don't know if you saw it, but they began a very ugly hate campaign against me.

10:32 am

and, it included my brother and his daughter!

10:33 am

no,i did not see it

10:34 am

and i am saddened thT YOU WERE SUBJECTED TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT

10:34 am

sorry caps

10:35 am

it was ugly. Maybe their posts will work their way down over the next few weeks. I reported to FB, but they did not do aything. This page was giving way an automatic rifle. Very poor taste. It began with "in light of recent events....we will be giving away an AR15 rifle......" I told them they were instigators. Anyway, it was not good and this owner of the page sent me a message calling me a stupid cu4. Then he deleted the message. I have a copy....scary people. Then, the bashing began.....Seems everyone there thinks I am a nut case.

10:36 am

you have got to be f*****g kidding me..a contest for a free ar 15??

10:37 am

yes, look at their page. Then, you can see the ugliness. Savannah Gun Trader.......it is the page with 300+ fans

10:38 am

i will not dignify or recognize their site with a visit.that is terrible

10:38 am

next they will offer special u.s health insurance if your kids are hit by gunfire...

10:39 am

pisses me off

10:40 am

add a few more handguns and visitors from outside u.s.a will have to be offered temporary visitor firearms that you just rent like a car and return when you leave

10:41 am

sorry.will shut up about it now

10:45 am

well, what irritates me is that the owner was encouraging people to harrass me via messages on FB. FB did nothing. So, I felt the need to close the account for sometime.

10:48 am

and, for some reason, I feel very depressed.

10:49 am

i am sorry science.there are some strange people out there

10:49 am

That is unfortunate Science. I'm sorry you were harassed. It is also unfortunate when the US is portrayed as some sort of gun crazed country, because it is not.

10:49 am

It is hurtful when your family feels the need to talk smack about you on a public page.

10:50 am

do not let these people get you down.you have a moral compass and a good one and stuck your you values and voiced your opinion as such.never feel sorry for stating how you feel

10:50 am

Molly, we own three guns. Two hunting rifles and one handgun. They are used once a year by my husband at a shooting range. that's it

10:50 am

Oh jeeze, I didn't realize those people were your family. That makes it even worse.

10:50 am

if you are discussing your kids sceince... you did the right thing by letting people know

10:51 am

Well, I am depressed and maybe I am mnetally ill, but it is merely chronic depression and nothing that needs to be bashed on FB

10:51 am

My brother and his red-neck daughter joined in the bashing on this FB page.

10:51 am

.. another reason to not be on facebook

10:51 am

you are you.and the best you that you can be.anyone who feels the need to belittle your opinions or your person is small indeed

10:51 am

yikes science. Change your Facebook account and defriend them.

10:52 am

No ruru, it was simply a horrible invite for a free rifle on FB that set me off in light of the recent murders in Newtown.

10:52 am

and i do not blame you at all science

10:52 am

I need to change it, but cannot figure out what to do with my name. I would also have to notify my real friends...anyway, I am so down about this event.

10:52 am

For now, the account is deactivated.

10:53 am

just because it is family,do not mean you must share their views regarding gun givaways

10:53 am

take charge of it science.. and make changes.. that's pretty insensitive to forward the ad. your relatives are a little on the sicko side if you ask me..

10:54 am

I don't share any views with them. My brother and his family are uneducated, rednecks.

10:55 am

this event in sandy hook may just be the catalyst to start the change in assault rifles

10:56 am

Read this:

10:56 am

Savannah Gun Trader December 18. Due to the recent events and happenings, We regret to inform you guys that many large retailers will be taking AR-15 platform Rifles out of their stores...This will result in higher prices and less availibility of the rifles. Luckily for you, if you click LIKE and SHARE this group with all of your friends on your page and encourage them to join, one of the original 75 members (todays count) will be picked to receive a FREE Smith&Wesson M&P15 Sport AR-15 Platform rifle if we reach 500 members by the end of the month!!!!! READY? GO!

10:56 am

good lord

10:56 am

That's just awful science. You are loved here!

10:57 am

this is why the NRA is maintaining a low profile

10:57 am

yes,there may be a run on firearm purchaces to 'beat" any new laws.read a bit on that on cnn.sad but true

10:58 am

and more after I posted:

10:58 am

Does anyone else agree that Cindi needs to seek some mental help? She thinks posting something that was public in the first place is against some type of law...Excuse my language, But I will be a true American here and practice my First Amendment, but ______, you are in fact a cunt! Thanks for reiterating.

10:58 am

:(

10:59 am

and there you are the second time he called me a cu4. He is a coward and deleted the message he sent me that began the cu4 rampage.

10:59 am

I told him I was the Queen Cu4!

10:59 am

No one should ever be called that word. :(

10:59 am

I believe that there is some law against harrassing and bullying on the internet. FB disagreed and thought these posts by these folks were acceptable.

11:00 am

often thos with more base communication skills will often regress to a more earth style of speech to add punch to their misguided views when they have no other recourse

11:00 am

I asked some friends to report this to FB. Don't know what happened, just know that the posts remain

11:00 am

I will finish my life without looking at or dealing with facebook.. i won't ever sign up for that kind of crap

11:01 am

anyway, this is very frightening to me.

11:01 am

if it were not for one game that has been in progress for a year or more,i would already be done with fb as well

11:02 am

I left my business page up. Just need to figure out how to post photos on it without reactivating the entire mess again. I do have customers who look at it

11:02 am

you are the smart one ruru.fb is so invasive it is scary

11:02 am

So, I am crazy, mentally ill, a cu4, etc. Welcome to my world!

11:03 am

The other thing that I dislike about FB is that I could not block that page! You can block people, but not a page.

11:03 am

well science,i am a crazy ass****,a pr*** and a lowlife

11:03 am

good! I like to surround myself with folks like you!

11:03 am

common ill make us a crossy brunch:)

11:04 am

hello...can I come too crossy?

11:05 am

and, I could not find the page owner's name. I wanted to report him personally and block him....Seems like a legal issue to me. One should have the page owner's name listed.

11:05 am

you are more than welcome jilly

11:05 am

so, if anyone wants to read trash about me, go to that page.

11:05 am

why would i want to hear the foul rambling of someone like that?

11:06 am

I was cruising FB, neither my son or I can find a place to hide photos from anyone but friends..

11:07 am

well, bbl. Need to shower and be somewhat productive.

11:07 am

Well, I engage in some trash talk on occassion

11:07 am

do nto let people like that bring you down science

11:08 am

I dislike being called "names."

11:08 am

as we all know here,you are a good person and we value your opinions

11:08 am

One of these tools is a fellow jeweler. Wow, what a shock.

11:08 am

True crossy, there should never be name calling...

11:08 am

you give them more worth and recognition than they deserve

11:09 am

and yes they can hurt,but people like that are beneath you

11:10 am

think of it like dirt on your shoes,it was bad you stepped in the mud,but you wash the slime off and move on

11:12 am

that way it does not stain the carpet of your life

11:13 am

Especially important if your life carpet is shag...

11:13 am

indeed;)

11:13 am

Some of us are deeper than others....

11:13 am

mine is indoor/outdoor or astro turf:))

11:14 am

LOL...crossy is industrial!!

11:14 am

in those real funky colours you could get in the 70,s

11:14 am

Wood floors! LOL

11:14 am

lol,then you best add a good coat of varnish

11:14 am

I have reported this again to FB are abusive......under a guise.....If they would remove the comments, I could carry on....it is a shame.

11:14 am

bbl really

11:15 am

It's worth babbling just to be part of the chat! I'm with you, Crossy.

11:15 am

Just sorta jumped into this, but science, if it is group where this is happening, the administrator of the group could intervene

11:15 am

Good morning naches girl!

11:15 am

Ores

11:15 am

:) ty naches

11:16 am

Hi jill.

11:17 am

So crossy, back to brunch...what are we having?

11:17 am

ahh yes...

11:19 am

well of course we must start with fresh from the farm brown eggs and apple wood smoked and maple kissed bacon..so i shall make 3 egg omelettes with diced yellw and green peppers and smoked black forest ham bits and the bacon of course..perhaps a few crucnhy potato pancakes with ice cold apple sauce for dipping then some texas toast and a nice cold glass of oj to wash it all down

11:20 am

*drooling*

11:21 am

I'll be right over crossy! Lol

11:22 am

Everyone here must have thought I was crazy....I came on several times a day to see if I could catch you and asked EVERYONE to let me know using my em in my profile if they found out you were OK....I guess I'm a little obsessive sometimes when I care about someone!

5:50 pm

wow Mimi, so sorry

All this drama round me makes me glad I live ALONE and don't have to deal with drama anymore....have had enough in my life already.

I got fireworks display at no4/4 today so here is a story. Finally finished my X-mas shopping. Desp5/12 putting a limit on how much to spend on Christmas,I was not a wi 4/8 shopper and I spent too much anyway. I bought my No4/4 an ap 5/12 since she loves to bake. I also bought my brother a megaphone because he is the captain of a cr 4/9 sp 5/12s team. I bought my Dad a gift certificate to a garden store so that he can plant his cr 5/14 in the Spring. I got my niece a pet fe 6/27. I also got my Mom a subscription to The New York Times Newspa5/14. She would rather read the news than watch news re 6/21rs. I got my grandfather a pi 4/6 to smoke. I got my sister-in-law a to5/22 necklace. Being the good wi4/11 that I am, I got my husband a gift certificate to amaz4/9.com since that is his favorite website. What I spent on others sp 4/5ned from fifty dollars to a hundred dollars. I have incu4/6ed a big debt with my shopping that has put me in the po 4/5 house, but I love buying for other people. I know my husband will have a sp 4/10 and cu 5/14 me out when he sees my credit card bill. I'm not feeling pe 4/5 enough to stay and clue since I am tired.I am going to be a na6/24 & take a little snooze. When I wake up I will return pr6/21 and help give clues.By the way, none of this story is tr4/5.I will be back later on this evening.

6:10 pm

Min, my profile has my story, but I do lurk occasionally. ;) Happy to see you are your usual happy self greeting others.

greetings to all. I seldom chat. I do get great clues from your stories Minveryork. Keep them coming!

6:13 pm

7:11 pm

I am well Min, and you? All decorated, gifts have arrived, some small things to wrap tomorrow or Monday.

and my snooty phantom is protozoa

7:27 pm

any bakers on?

on what? 8-)

7:30 pm

on babble!

well, i used to bake, but, no, i'm not a baker

everyone else is lurking, methinks

7:31 pm

well i feel like this is a basic question at least. i am making an apple pie for the first time. am wondering if i should use skin-on apples or peel the skin off

7:31 pm

peel (says a lurker)

7:31 pm

Peel

7:32 pm

peel

7:32 pm

I agree...peel them.

7:32 pm

i love babble! thanks ladies.

7:32 pm

i am a very literal cook, that seems like it would be the right thing to me but the recipe didn't specify that

7:32 pm

YVW

7:33 pm

trope

pretty sure you shold peel 'em, never seen a pie with the peels on . . .

7:33 pm

i don't peel potatoes often, and apple peel is good in salads, etc. but pies need peeling. enjoy

7:33 pm

that's what i thought

7:34 pm

poofing now

you could experiment: put one small piece in the pie with the peel still on and see how it comes out

you could mark its location with a dent in the top of the pie, or something like that

7:36 pm

eh i am taking it to a family holiday, will just play it safe with peeling i think

7:36 pm

and that's fireworks! any clues needed before i go make pie?

congrats leslie !!!!!! @ @ !!!!!!

wishing you the best pie ever

7:39 pm

okeedokee will do. have a good night all

7:50 pm

hope the pie is apeeling to everyone

groan!

7:52 pm

No peels in apple pie. Nyet.

i keep finding words i swear i already typed, argh

7:52 pm

sorry for the crusty comment BDG

7:53 pm

No peels in mashed potatoes either. I had them that way once and they were gross.

everyone run! punner present! LOL

7:55 pm

you aren't trying to meringue me are you Gwen?

i'm going to find you on facebook and poke you a lot LOL

7:56 pm

I hope not, she might get creamed.

7:56 pm

don't look too long.. I"m not there

7:57 pm

Ru, this sounds personal. She wants to poke you.

7:57 pm

actually .. it kind of does.. sound personal

7:59 pm

is poking a Facebook term?

8:01 pm

Yes, it's like "liking" something. A one click response. Too much work to actually type words, you know.

8:01 pm

so.. would that make me the Pokee?

8:01 pm

Yes, and the poked.

8:03 pm

And probably Pokeman.

8:05 pm

that'd make me impoketant

UNO

8:06 pm

9:09 pm

9:10 pm

Hi Jellen

9:13 pm

HI jellen

9:16 pm

Kittens, please?

9:16 pm

:)

9:17 pm

I don't have kittens and the bacon thing is like the horse that keeps getting beaten to death around here.

9:18 pm

wouldn't bacon make the chat non-kosher?

9:18 pm

just askin'...

9:19 pm

Okay, no kittens...

9:20 pm

Yes, but apparently that is non-offensive. But mostly everything else is.

9:20 pm

I love kittens but then I'll start sneezing

9:20 pm

I miss cats.. totally different energy than dogs

9:21 pm

real cats.. not the musical

9:21 pm

Oh rats, I was just about to burst into a chorus of "Memories".

9:22 pm

9:36 pm

I'm so out of practice it will be a while before I even shoot for fireworks...

9:36 pm

I bet

9:37 pm

I'm hoping for a monster grid tonight that Dart won't have time to do

9:41 pm

maybe 777 or something like that

9:42 pm

*evil laugh*

9:42 pm

But you're not competitive about this or anything.

9:43 pm

9:43 pm
