Sleep well jane :)
i'm awake thanks to 7h nap
scared the cat when she stepped on my injured calf by jerking away. ooops
lol... what happened to your calf?
torn muscle, apparently thanks to thrashing in fever last Tuesday night.
it's a re-injury. i tripped and did this in September the 1st time.
sooo very sorry to hear! Sounds painful! How long will it take to heal?
i'm normally quite physically active, and may want PT this time.
last time, 8 weeks.
i have follow-up in 10 day.s
Ouch, dc. They may advise PT, then.
JJ got me to see doctor to verify that not a clot.
which it was happily not.
that must've been some fever to tear a muscle :(
Thank goodness for that!
i was a teeth-chattering fever as i was going to bed. I turned up the heat and bundled into bed. By AM i'd kicked off the quilt and the blanket completely, but still had the sheet.
finito
never took temp, but it was a fever indeed!
thank goodnes
he ruru, happy xmas, and congrats
thrashing in bed DC?
Congrats ruru!
that night, yes.
wow, ru wtg! Still 9 to go here :)
I have to get up so freakin' early
travelling?
What time are you getting up?
I'm volunteering
oh, that's nice :)
4:30
yipes
kitchen detail and I get to serve some
i'm looking forward to it
sounds rewarding :)
these puny grids are not going to help me catch dart though
Sounds so great, ru. Is Mrs. Ru joining you.
are you kidding dee?
we all live to serve her
Thought she might join you for the meal :)
I have fi 7. What is the other 7, please?
at 7
at 7
sounds like a foot stool
at 6 / 7
ty, ruru and liz
ty vm
Awesome - I found that by chance!
had the at 6/21, but never thot of adding another syllable.
i describe it as more than ataboy
I think there should be a da 7! Someone who deals with information
aww good one
down to 5... one g and the rest a's of course (since I hate words starting with vowels)
did you have a flu DC?
you need ga 6 dee
another name for me
possibly -- it was like a cold with a a fever. First light symptoms Monday, fever T and overnight, getting better each day.
that's it, ru
hope my flu shot keeps it away from me
or ga 6 someone who's bitten off more than they can chew
good clue, ru

ty for ga 6 - liked both clues!
fireworks
yeahhhhhhh deester
congrats Dee :)
thanks liz
was missing the an 4/6 ag 4/8 ad 6
ty vm!!
I got kind of choked up on the second clue
lol
do you know how many people they are expecting tomorrow, ru?
omg.. hundreds and hundres
Must be a large center.
it is Glide Church in SF
I thought this was the year I was going to do something .
We have to take care of our vets, our elderly, our homeless here.. and stop spending money in Iraq and Iran and freakin afganistan
Super idea! I can't do the physical work, but we bought pies to help pay for food for one of our shelters that feed the homeless... $20 a pie.
everything helps i'm sure dee
We have plenty of money to do all of that, if we didn't have so much governmental overhead (my humble opinion).... we waste so much money, it's ridiculous.
I'm probably going to peel 2,000 potatoes or something
You'll feel like a private in the army lol
we do have enough money.. we just need someone to direct it here and spend it wisely
Absolutely.
I have a GRRRR moment
yes?
We of course Bail out JP Morgan Chase.. and then this year in the Fall they hosted a dinner at the French Laundry for 400.. in yountville... for god knows how much money
while I am glad the French Laundry got the biz.. it just pisses me off that these guys just don't get off the trough
So many of those guys should have had their butts slammed into jail... that is one of the aspects that fries me.
I did a dinner at the laundry for 23.. and I could have bought a new car.. I can't even imagine what 400 seats would cost
over a grand a plate...
probably more than that dee
We don't seem to treat rich criminals the same. I am all for a capitalist society, but I hate abuse and waste.
me too.. I see so many people in need in the bay area and this is an affluent area
it's beyond tragic
Sleep well ruru and Dee - enjoy your days tomorrow :)
Throw in all the money all of the athletes get and Hollywood... I really wonder what happened to our decision-making skills.
Ty, Liz.. you, too... peace, love, and joy to you and your family.
I was talking to a vet at the church while I was signing up.. he's been back from Iraq with PTSD and is still waiting for benefits and to be treated 18 months later..
bye liz.. good nite
bye liz.. good nite
good night dee
*steps down off soapbox*
so very, very sad. One of our daughter's hospitals is a large VA - because of what she has seen there, she hates the thought of socialized medicine - they are getting substandard treatment or no treatment... it is sad, ru.
You'll need to get your chin up before you go tomorrow, ru, or you will come home really upset.
I will look forward to it dee .. no matter what
good night
night, ru, rest well!
Maybe all the veterans should bring weapons to the VA and see if treatment improves?
you know, it's funny, my husband was just wondering if there was any question to which the NRA's answer would NOT be, "more guns"
Truer words have never been spoken hurshy!
hello jill, how are you and merry christmas
Quite fine hurshy, just got back from Mass, having a whiskey tonic with my family. How are you? And Merry Christmas!!
i am fine except for not being able to fall back asleep right now, and wishing the grid were bigger :)
Well, I just finished the grid...but I too am not very sleepy either...
Maybe another whiskey sour?
perhaps that would help you
i don't drink so no luck for me
Actually, think the first one might be taking effect...
lucky you :)
hmm, i have all the fives
some really weird words today...
oh. well i have fi7, what's the other 7?
at7/32...a pl of the 6/21
are there 2 6/21s then bc the one i have already is a plural
ah yes sticking in a vowel
2 more a's, 2 more g's, 1 m and 1 f
go hurshy go!!
the f SHOULD be easy as there are only so many places you can go from it but...
ok got the f and a g
clue for g6 if there is one?
hi everyone - have been enjoying Christmas Eve with family, now, they were smart enough to go to bed
hey flosey :)
what a nice icon
HI flosey!! Merry Christmas!!
aha found that g6
hi hursh and thanks, hi jilly and Merry Christmas to you and everyone still here
got my m!
so that leaves an a4 and an a6
those long a's make me think of that christmas song, patapan... turelurelu, patapatapan
LOL
so what is the a6 that isn't related to them
any clues for ad6 please?
oh it's ad6 then lol
set your boat ad6
thanks
thanks hursh
That was one twisty word!
now what what is this last a4... from lower a... have ag4...
aha nother ag4!
yup
well that's me done
a listless grid is my babble christmas present, that's sort of nice even if it did have to be small
Well, do think It is finally time to hit the pillows. WAY past my usual bedtime!!
ag - if it was ug4, it would be anything but pretty
night jill
merry xmas everyone xxx
merry merry christmas
merry christmas to all and to all a good night! *poof*
hello Sarah, and Mrry Christmas to you and your lovely family
may I have a clue for the first at6 please?
it's like the second at6 but with an extra vowel stuck in and not pl
thanks hurshy

Happy Christmas Everyone!!
typing one handed and holding coffee with baileys in other
I'm about to go to my synagogues pancake breakfast! Then sit around and watch movies at home. Hip problems have me stuck here, sad to say.
whoops, sorry bad me
Merry Christmas, everybody!
happy christmas hack
hi hack
carleekat, sounds good-Bailey's + coffee
I'm Jewish, too, but there is no synagogue within 50 miles!
I would enjoy a Bailey's about now, or even a good cognac
so we make a little Christmas and I light candles
hi ruby
{{bichon}}
you did more than i ruby ( but i am technically not anything)... i have xmas cards up... christmas is the 28th here... no pressies today...just doing dinner when the bf gets here tonight
We're going to the movies and eating Chinese food; the Jewish Xmas
Merry Christmas!
Happy Belated Hanukkah to my Jewish brothers and Sisters...
I was hoping for a really big grid today.. :-(
there you go bichon...seafood fetticine and garlic bread..with baklava and coffee with baileys for dessert
oh yer, Christmas cards up, white pointeetias in the living room, red ones in the kitchen and a wreath on the door. But that is mostly for our friends here
hag semeach hackerly
:)
hi, ruby, listening to tracks from your son's CD—nice! I have a son-in-law in a band; He's the drummer. They played a big deal local venue a few nights ago. My daughter and I had fun watching him play.
it is funny, as there are NO Jewish people in the village, I don't even talk about it
My Father is Jewish and my Mom is Catholic! I call myself a Cashew!! HAHAH
hahaha
lol hackerly
Try living in Alabama!! Catholic and Jewish!! Not at all popular!!
that is hillarious hack
my son called last night, 40 minutes on the phone (lucky mama) and he's starting a new band, a Greatful Dead tribute, which should be ready by spring
oh my... that would be "interesting" hack...Lord how i miss the south
Hi, hackerly. I come from a mixed or mixed-up family. Made latkes for a family Christmas dinner. 5 lbs of potatos, which my dutiful son grated—by hand!
Thanks!! I was raised with both traditions and I love it!
we can't even be buried in the local cemetery
grating potatos by hand. Any knuckes in them <ggg>
That is Awesome Melon!! You should of seen my inlaws expression when I made them brisket and onions for easter!!
What Ruby??? that is horrible!!
hehehehe....<sitting back chuckling> passing out coffee with baileys
Yikes, hackerly! I'm in Cleveland, where being Ital Catholic/Russian Jewish is not even rare. The standing joke is if you make me sit on my hands I can't talk!
really ruby. That would be difficult for me. Not the cemetary part as we will be cremated.
when I make latkes, I use the coarse thingo in the food processor
I love Latkes!! Please pass the applesause and sour cream!!
me too ruby
husband wants to be cremated, so he'll be in the backyard with the pups but I can't decide
I made sweet potato latkes this year. Different taste
and I found a French substitue for sour cream; it's not Breakstone's, but it's not bad!
Pass the cinnamon then!!
I need to live somewhere that gets delivery of the New York Times
Cremation freaks me out!! At least he will always be close that way!!
I like those too, but usually make them with left over cooked sweets and they are more mushy and less nicely-textured
Do you have a Nook or a Kindle? If so, you can subscribe to it digitally :)
I add little rutabaga, about 1 part per 4 or five parts potato. Onion, too of course. Secret seasoning is a generous scrape of nutmeg, along with salt and pepper. My favorite meal is latkes w/sour cream abd applesauce to accompany smoked salmon. :9
I feel that way about creamation, too, but I don't know if the gardener would be willing to bury me in the garden.....
Well that is what friends are for!! HAHA
latkes and lox, perfection
I get the International Herald Tribune by mail, 6 days, and the New Yorker. So I'm covered.
I get the International Herald Tribune by mail, 6 days, and the New Yorker. So I'm covered.
you are making me so hungry!!
bichon, get a digital subscription. I get the Sunday Times, which gives me full digital access,but I am on the verge of going straight digital with both the Times and the New Yorker as part of a general decluttering effort.
Did you hear about the news shooting in West Webster NY? My DIL knew one of the mrdered firemen from high school
seafood and asparagus fetticine alfredo here tonight...
sounds yummy carlee
i heard ruby..it was awful...i have friends who are fire fighters here
I made escargot, soy-plum-duck, cauliflower au gratin, boiled potatoes and pumpkin tart.
That sounds so yummy! We are having lemon cheicken!!
Well, off to my shul for regular old pancakes and maple syrup. Being a true blue American Jew, Chinese food will figure later in the day. Cheers, all! {ppof}
oh that sounds wonderful ruby....
I am hopping on a flight Ruby!!
I have a digital access too. That way I can do the crossword puzzle on line. But there's something so satisfying about having the paper in hand
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Cheers Melon! Take care!!
I agree
and bable decends to food porn again...
Merry Christmas Car.!
it was very good but the pumpkin has to be brought here when friends visit from the US. Canned pumpkin is not available here and I don't know how (or want to bother) with fresh

oh oh Ruby :(
once a jerk, always a jerk lol
oh dear...{hugs}
<passing coffee with baileys to ruby>...dble shot hun
his grumpiness comes and goes -- spurts of generosity and then back to nasty. It's his age. He had tghe wonderful idea this AM of giving My train set to the housekeeper's boys, which I thought would have insulted him as he gave it to me one Christmas
she was ecstatic when I called her to tell her and will pick it up tomorrow.
hmmm...well... he brought some joy ... that is an up side
it's a lovely German set and he found most of it, just not the accessory buildings which I'll look for tomorrow
sounds lovely :)
and since I have no grandchildren and she has 3 sons, 9, 10 AND 14, IT'S PERFECT. whoops, sorry for shouting. And husband has no interest in his grands or great-grands
...they it will be well loved :)
then* even
half and nbs, but no s, i or lowest a.....

Happy Christmas, carlee!
enjoy the remains of the day ruby and thank you :)
and done
Happy Xmas everyone....am so disappointed, my son bought me a Kindle Fire HD, and guess what?!?!?....it doesn't take Babble......:(((
merry xmas flask ! - i thought you had wifi capability with this device, isn't it so ?
merry chrstmas flask
always have to watch kindles,they are so proprietary with their electronics
hi there crosshair
howdy mon13 and merry chrstmas
merry xmas cross - but with wifi, couldn't you access any part of the internet ?
you can,but in kindles case,there are many things you cannot do as it is not(or not as far as i know) an open format
aahhh, there's the rub...
with my nook for example i can load full books from anywhere.everything does not have to be bought at amazon bookwise.now saying that thinkgs may have changed with the newer models.last ones i looked at would not even take e pub files
i understand: i just thought that with wifi, you had access to the internet, wherever you want to go...including babble...
and she may be able to fire babble up,but some reader/tablets do not render it well as babble has only one setup and was never specifically formatteed for tablets or smart phones as many newer programs are now
my asus transformer tablet renders babble well but typing in words on the touch keyboard can be a pita,so i will dock it to it keyboard
Kindle Fire should access any area of the internet. Flask may just be having a learning curve.
perhaps.like i say newer kindle models may have progressed
ahh, thx for the info crosshair; i was hesitating in maybe buying a tablet or notebook and, of course, babble would have been a prime application for me...i'll hesitate some more then... sigh
i like to hold my books, and i love the smell and feel of old books - do not read many of the new writers w/ the exception of my brother, husband, and nephew.
my wifes eyesight sadly will no longer allow that renfield,hence the tablet/reader
I agree Ren. Reading is very tactile for me.
same here molly and renfield...
25 words and i cant find ANY more! the lower right hand corner has zip
I have found electronic readers a very sterile experience.
sorry to hear that crossie - when mi madre could no longer read - pops read to her.
it is a godsend for some molly
My Mom enjoyed audio books, Ren.
i also have a good friend who swears by her e-reader...
whoa jerry - i had 25 words and have found no more
each to theri own
mine too molly - until the dementia kicked in and she could no longer operate her boom box
I like audio books too. It's like being a kid again and having someone read you a story.
on that note, i must go - merry christmas all and take care "poof"
ope theres 26. now im just guessing & i dont even know what 79% of them mean!! =)
nain
we donated my wifes books to the womens shelter and she is happy to be reading again after ten years without.even if it is a sterile tablet
sorry didnt mean to post that into nain into the chat box oops
no probs jerry:)
i dont enjoy audio books... i have yet to invest in an e reader
that is great crossie - mi madre gave me her books - she loved books. we have close to 10k books - they will be donated to different people and institutions in our wills according to the subject
but am heading to the states this week..so perhaps I will indulge if the nook on sale
has anybody ever gotten ALL the words b 4?
that is good renfield.a shared book is a good thing
jerry - we all have
though not as often as we would like;)
pretty much we all have jerry..this is a wee grid....there have been 450+ word grids...
im sittin here wonderin if there r any words with that i or qu haha
<carlee backs quickly away from those grids>
Jerry - most of us use tools to get them all. I think I might have gotten them all once without help
ian
?
haha
before there were aids - we just used each other and the enable dictionary - early on - there were some really great word peeps - like sprite is
sprite. Haz, scarlet...
man the clues used to fly!!!!
yuppers carlee, and anj and lola - jerry - see angelsongs babble page for the aids now used.
in the first year or 2,i used to use licketys or babble expert,but have gotten bored with them of late.the grids have tended to the smallish side and often need to make them last
i didnt know anj or lola
and jacula...the mistress
jacs and fm ....
god I miss FM
me too carlee
speaking of which..i should call scarlet... back in a bit
crossy misses (((FMitch)
and nancyboy(jessie)
we have lost some fine babblers over the past few years
Hi all. Has anyone listed the Gs. I'm missing one.
Not me. I'm missing two.
i'm also missing 1 g
IN case it helps, I have 3 ga4's, 1 ga5, and a gn4.
i have 4 ga 4s, 1 ga 5, and 1 gn 4

Merry Christmas!
hi gwen
We
We're having a peaceful morning. (Children & grandchildren live a couple thousand miles away.)
nice - we are also quite relaxed, my son came over and walked the dog and will be back later but other than that it's just us, the dog, and the cats
Also, hubby's recovering from having the flu last week, so the peacefulness is often punctuated by coughing fits.
ho ho ho
**thinks Green Giant when I hear that, rather than Santa**
I am back, top left
hi jane and marc!
Top left 'n' I have na4 x3 and a na5, what am I missing?
sorry about your hubby, gwen, hope he gets better soon!
hi sue
Thanks, sue. He's definitely improving, just noisy at times.
Marc, you're missing another na4
or else it's another na5 from that n
Yes, it's the na5. (Sorry to steer you wrong)
I have one na5 is there another one?
yes. na5/10 and na5/12.
this is one weird little grid.
Thanks got it
I think I'm going to do a little baking. Any clues before I go?
no thanks, I'm just starting. Happy baking!
i am having trouble with a's and those two na 5's....
ad6: stuck in snow?
na5/10: plural of the flatbread
got the a, thanks!
You have at6 & 7 combo, right? Remove the second vowel.
hi eieios!
howdy!
have the 6 and 7. will do!
**lol. I guess it would have been better to say 'stuck in the sea', not 'stuck in snow'. Glad you got the clue anyway**
ha, I got it too, thanks!
Okay, I'm signing off. Have a great day, everyone!
bye, gwen! have fun!
good afternoon all - hello sue
hi wv!
how has your holiday been?
very quiet so far, which is nice
grandkids arrive in about an hour - so things will get crazier
we went over to some friends last night and had a good time; some other friends are having an open house tonight so if Frank is up to it we will go there too
ah, good luck and have fun!
have been babbling in between getting the food ready for all
not much to babble about today :-)
I have 16 words left but will probably save them for later
glad to see a small grid - don't have time for anything bigger
we are in the calm between the storms. kids are enjoying the first round of gifts before we head to g-parents house for round 2
i am the round 2 for the grandkids and then they have round 3 and 4 with other sets of grandparents
our other g-parents are 1500 miles away. we did thanksgiving there
i have two fi4, and the 6/7 combo. what am i missing?
Hi, has anyone got a working link to Babble expert? I got a kindle fire for Christmas and would like to use it away from home.
***for babbling, of course !!
I have da4/7, da5/16, da4/5,
I have da4/7, da5/16, da4/5, and di4/5 and dr5/18. I am missing two could someone give me the stats on those, please?
da 5/6 combo, da 4/5 combo, da4, di4, dr5
Merry Chrismas to all who celebrate it.
eleios, cannot tell from your note what I am missing? Could you please give me again?
probably the da 5/6 combo, marc
Lizmac, I have a link to it on my profile. As far as I know that link works?

Thanks got it

The same
ha, got them both, thanks!
still missing one and its my last 6
hello again and Happy Holidays to anybody I didn't see earlier
hi ruby!
{{sue}} I'm happy to read that Frank feels up for parties! that is very good news
Indeed! They really do him a lot of good. He is very much a people person (whereas I tend to be more quiet and shy)
I have eaten so much today that I feel like I'm going to explode. The third slice of pumpkin tart did me in
pumpkin tart sounds good! I had a piece of pumpkin cheesecake last night, it was wonderful
I would think that after spending so much time with him in the hospital, it would do you good, too, talking about non-medical stuff and eating and drinking
it does (even now that he's been out of the hospital for a few weeks a lot of our conversation revolves around his health)
you can talk physics! food! children!
books!
yes, my child just came in and is doing his laundry
how is "your child"
did he ever finally get rid of that awful girl?
pretty good; he's been walking the dog a lot, which has been very useful
no, he still sees her (sigh0
oh, I'm sorry about that
he doesn't get sucked in by her histrionics as much any more, but she's still messing with him
I guess there's nothing left for you to do about it except if it should cost him, it will have to cost HIM!
yes, exactly
apparently she threw her frappucino (cold coffee/milk drink) all over his car; he's cleaned it up
my son had an ex who threw a drink at him in a bar, long after they were no longer together
and now that he has his own car I don't have to worry about it, which is nice
it's hard to imagine that level of disinhibition
it is indeed. she is really nuts.
must go now. It sounds like 2013 will be better for you, sue,; I really hope so!
wow, monkeys have me down to 2 four-letter words and I"ll be done!
I've sent my monkeys home
they just found another one
I need 11 but it's mostly one of this, one of that, and I lack the patience
*woof*
dog wants out?
fireworks!
bye, ruby, joyeux noel!
howdy all my babble friends.roast beast is in da oven and i have time to spend with all of you:)
crossy loves one roasting pot meals

*waves to lurkers... Potato boy is back*
Ru are you still here? How was the soup kitchen?
hello again, 11 left but just wanted to say hello
hi molls
i'm tired.. and I hope I never touch an onion or a potato again ever..LOL
hello ruby
*waves to lurkers*
good timing, ru! Just "lurked" in to say my usual hi/bye - never have much time for chat. *wave back with no-fingertip glove"
I get tired of peeling an chopping for a normal sized group. I can't imagine what it's like doing it on a large scale basis.
I think I did several hundred pounds of potatoes and god knows how many onions.
I did a six hour stint.. then before I chopped my fingers off they sent me homw
home
Well it was good of you to donate your time and skills.
they didn't really use my skills..lol
but it was a humbling experience.. I met some nice people
<---ordering in Pizza tonight
LOL
I have too much leftovers. The kids didn't take enough food out of here. Although I did push the sweet stuff on them.
I think it's easy to make too much food for the holidays isn't it?
man.. it is pouring rain here now
Hello all and Merry Christmas. Like you, we have eaten, celebrated and sent cake home. Like you, we have left overs (yea!.)
hi s-mere
Hi ruru. We have a snowy view here in the great Northwest. Water is calm, no breeze and we have seen as much light as we'll get this Christmas day.
which Water?
the Pacific?
Yes, we have a northwest along the Pacific Ocean, just south of BC aye. Puget Sound water.
lovely up there
Yes. Sometimes we even have sunshine. Mostly we have clouds.
I've been on Whidbey (sp?) island and Orcas Island.. I think that's it.. but is sure is gorgeous up there
where does stid live Port Townsend area?
Yes. The islands are especially nice. I'm glad you have seen the area. On the eastern side of the Cascades, I've been told many new vinyards are being planted. That might be of interest to you.
We are not as far north as Port Townsend. We live near the southern part of the sound.
ah
near EVerett?
hello again all

If I was in the UK, I'd say you were probably a "Smash" hit!
I was one of many liz... they thanked me.. but I was happy to do something for once
Good night all. leaving some on the grid.
Of course! Smash - powdered potato, when I was a kid. Great TV ad - aliens laughing at humans using potato mashers!

YAY Min!!! I will definately check out your story
I'm here for a while, if needed :)

Writing a letter at the same time but keep checking back!
Merry Christmas! Was Santa good to everyone?
Merry Christmas Jilly!!
Hi Jilly - hope you're enjoying your day :)
I am! Nice Christmas Day, went to Mass last night, then came home and son made me a stiff whiskey sour. Slept like a log. Spent day with Mom here; watched White Christmas, then opened presents, then had dinner. Hubby and son are taking her home and I just finished dishes!
How was yours?
I don't celebrate Christmas but we had a lovely day. Typical sunny Queensland day - walked on the beach, swam in the pool and generally had a great day with my lovely hubby!
sorry, was stuck in grid
It was lovely seeing so many people enjoying the sunny weather on the beach.
So different today - grey and rainy - but still very warm!
Had a nice brunch at my sisters with everyone, came home took a nap and fixed dinner
It's great when families can get together - for any reason :)
definately
My family and friends are what I miss most!
Any last clues needed before I leave soon?
I'd almost trade them for that sunny weather and beach...lol
Well, I know after going to Hawaii, that were I ever to retire and be able to "snow-bird", I would pick a nice tropical place like Hawaii!
Not for me lizlin, I finished while sipping on my whiskey sour last night...
1 word left
Well, that's what I did! I don't have a large family - and friends visit and we visit them!
Go smores!!
Love whisky sours! Haven't had one for years!
Go smores - def waiting for your fireworks!
t6
I usually do G&T, but son talked me into it. Was nice..
Found in tea and wine - also my last word!
Vodka and bitter lemon for me!
t6=when preparing to go to a beach you might go to a ******g booth
Good one!
Got the beach on my mind! ;)
Understand that!
thanks...FW!!!
Congrats smores :) BTW - good to have you back! I bet you were busy at amazon before the holidays!
Thanks Liz, yes, it was crazy
That's what I assumed!
Have you got much of a break?
WooT WooT WooT smores!
Do you now have to cope with returns of unwanted gifts?
not sure of schedule yet, will know more tomorrow
Well, I hope you get a good break.
My hubby won't be returning what I bought him on Amazon...
:)
:)
let me guess, gift card?
Nope, soapstone whiskey stones...
Sad that amazon isn't in Aus! I buy from the amazon uk and friends bring over what I buy!
ahhh....on the rocks
You got it!!
Nice!
didn't realize they didn't ship to Aus
brb
They do - but it's more expensive with the exchange rate at the moment
and *waves good-bye to lizlin* in case she leaves b4 I get back...
ohhh, I see, cheaper to get through UK
Bye Jilly - yes I'm off too - it's 11.11 am and about time I left the computer. Hope you both enjoy the rest of the evening :)
That's right smores - see you soon :)
Bye liz, enjoy your day :)

Well, about time for Dr Who...bbl *waves good-bye*
This guy comes blasting into the doctor's office and exclaims, excitedly, "Doctor, I think I'm shrinking! I think I'm shrinking!" "Ok, just settle down sir," the doctor says. "You're just going to have to be a little patient."
Good one, BabbleRabble.
just logged in, that is a good joke!
hi melon and peach! (quite a fruity pair!)
Hey there, sue. How are things today?
Pretty good, peach. We spent both last evening and this at different friends' houses, and had a lot of fun. Frank had another bout of nausea this afternoon but medication and food did the trick.
May I please have a clue for ma6-21 the1st? Thanks
tomorrow, peach
(in Spanish...)
I'm glad that you and he were able to get out of the house for awhile.
manna
Thanks, sue.
it was really good to get out (and if you stick a vowel in the middle of that word you will have the ma6)
Yes, I finally got it. Thanks much, Sue.
ga6-33 please.....thanks.....I have 2 left.
ga + consonant + male
Thanks much, sue. just need ad6-30 to finish this grid....thannks

ad 6 - lost at sea
Oh, thanks much teach.
Yes, yes I did just try Gangnam... darn that song!
yay peach!
Smores, are you still here? Did you get your fireworks yet
hi min!
Hello uusue2! How are you? I hope you had a nice X-mas!
we did, min, very quiet and relaxed
That's good. Not so quiet here with a toddler and 6 dogs.
6 dogs??? holy cow! I thought we had a circus with one dog and two cats!
My family is a family of dog lovers. We used to have cats
We like them all! I had cats because they are easier to care for, but Frank really likes dogs so we got a dog too
How is Frank?Hope that he was able to enjoy the holiday
He is OK, min, he really likes being with people so it was good to get out and visit. He had some nausea but the medicine helped.
Who did you visit with today? It's good to keep him busy.
some friends of ours had an open house, so we went to visit. Last night our minister had people over so we went there too. Lots of fun both times.
Oh that's good. I just stayed here at my parents house. I am going back to New York tomorrow to beat snow storm
travel safely, min!
Nice chatting with you uusue2, but I have to go to bed. I am getting up early tomorrow to drive back to New York.
Goodbye uusue2! We'll chat when I get back to New York.
night, min!
I say, what a naughty, lump of coal grid for Christmas!
Hello all!
merry xmas all!
well hello scrambler! long time no see!
listing with 8 to go...
and two fish down!
four...
hi stidmama, I'm on vacation this week and enjoying my babbling and babble buds!
go stud!
love vacation... would prefer if the kid who still lives at home were getting better from the wisdom teeth extraction a little faster
:-) he'll be okay, but he still needs a good bit of pain management and he is getting impatient (it's only been five days)
and, appropriately finish on the first fish, AD 6
need any clues before I turn in?
stud?
scrambler is getting down.. wooowieee
:D
LOL ruru
hope you had a pleasant day.
I did.. a nice day
hope you did too
saw your mom earlier
Good for you. And yes, ours was quiet and pleasant, nowhere to go, nothing much to do.
Oh? I hope she was having a good day, too. I saw her briefly when I went to get Matthew from her place and drive him to his house.
i just got up from a nap
not sure who Matthew is..
is it snowing up there?
Matthew is stidkid #1 -- he is no longer a teenager, so I use his name. :-)
Naps are gooooood....
It snowed a tiny bit at our place this morning and promptly melted. There was more a little further inland, that I suspect is still there.
I shall be limiting my driving tomorrow to fairly local areas.
ah
just really wet down here.. poured today
Yes, there is a persistent rainfall here too. Partly why the snow melted. :-)
anyway, I am tired (no nap for me today) so I shall bid you good night. Have a lovely day tomorrow, ruru. :-) *poof*
nighters stif
