12:21 am

it's hard enough in daylight

12:21 am

wtg judy!

12:21 am

I agree, ru!

12:22 am

hi Jilli. I just looked up and got your news. I am so sorry. Did you get to have Christmas with family?

12:22 am

flosey, you're so right about the shock to the system.

12:22 am

*orders armored tank for Jilli to tool around iN*

12:22 am

Yes, I did, bugs, although I wasn't very comfortable.

12:23 am

I was in an accident in October and my nerves are still on edge. I'm hyper sensitive to noises and any sudden movement. I'm driving my family nuts!

12:23 am

Something like that is a terrible shock and not having a car is no fun.

12:23 am

that's PTSD nonnie

12:23 am

I've posted the story on FB for friends.

12:24 am

back....jilli how dreadful. you must be aching all over.

12:24 am

**FIREWORDS**

12:24 am

wtg diz

12:24 am

WTG DIZ!!!

12:24 am

you weren't cruising for a bruising were you Jilli?

12:24 am

Insurance says I can get a rental and/or taxis until I replace the wrecked car.

12:24 am

That is what the doc said. I caught myself dodging a shopping cart in the grocery store the other day...sheesh!

12:24 am

Spare me, ruru!

12:24 am

just hear the molst marvelous coluntry ssong

12:24 am

sorry

12:25 am

yay diz!

12:25 am

if the devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine

12:25 am

wow you guys are fast!

12:26 am

Jilli, will your insurance pay for the entire rental or just a portion? Mine would only pay $20 a day which wasn't half the cost of the rental.

12:26 am

Well..i would say that this one was a bit too easy

12:26 am

I'm told they'll pay it all, Nonnie.

12:26 am

couple of bits of news. first...i'm gonna be a granny again, number 3 on it's way....second, my step-daughter has just had her appendix removed, poor kid, she's gonna miss the NY celebrations.

12:27 am

congrats granny! Sorry for step-daughter tho...

12:27 am

I hope she has intestinal fortitude granny

12:27 am

wd, india -- nice icon too

12:27 am

Well, that is a bit of good news, Jilli.

12:27 am

lol ru!

12:27 am

Congrats granny!

12:27 am

nonnie, she hasn't had a good year at all. i do so hope this is the end to her troubles.

aww, sorry to hear about the surgery; Congrats on grannyhood again!!

12:28 am

lol ruru, trust you. how are you, mate? how are the aches and pains?

12:28 am

Haha..thanks jill..i never finish this fast..in fact i rarely finish

12:28 am

oh.. okay

12:28 am

Hoping for a healthier 2013 for you s-daughter!

12:29 am

the good news here is the pain in my knee is minimal. compared to pre-op, this is nothing.

Well, I am off to finish a few chores for tomorrow. Hugs to all my babble friends and best wishes for 2013!!

12:30 am

thanx nonnie,dee

12:30 am

bye bye Dee and Happy New Year!

12:30 am

Time for bed for me..nite all

yqw

12:30 am

12:30 am

night night Jan Happy New Year!

12:30 am

12:30 am

night dee. see you next year

12:30 am

gnight india too

ty, rose; thx, jili; feel better soon!

Nite, ru, see you next year!

12:32 am

Jilli, have they said if your car is a total loss or will they be able to repair?

12:32 am

nbt/nbs

12:33 am

well done.. keep going jilli

12:33 am

Nonnie, the car is totalled -- front end bashed in.

12:33 am

this is an easy one

12:33 am

ty ruru

12:34 am

oye..it's a toyota totallo

12:35 am

Ugh...well, my heart goes out to you because it is a nightmare dealing with insurances and the lender. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a speedy and full recovery.

12:37 am

I really loved that car -- the dealer called it a "baby Lexus". It was a silvery colour and didn't show the dirt -- leather seats, sunroof (they called it a moonroof for some incomprehensible reason), just a perfect car for me.

12:37 am

good night and good luck everyone.. i'm off to go read

12:37 am

night night ru Happy New Year

12:38 am

night, ruru, hope you are able to rest and sleep well.

12:38 am

it was a lovely car Jilli and it kept you safe when you needed it. I know how you will miss it.

12:38 am

People tell me I should get a Subaru (all wheel drive for our possibly snowy hills) -- I'll try for a secondhand Legacy sedan, I think, although that's bigger than I need.

just got here. oh, my, jilli! areYOU all right?

12:39 am

I'm shaken, melon, and a bit stirred but ok, thanks.

12:40 am

Mine van wasn't anything special but it served me and my grandchildren well. Auto sliding doors, stow-n-go seats, I could haul a small army, if I had to. I wasn't looking to replace it so trying to select a new car was awful. My heart wasn't in it and I was afraid to drive.

Sounds as if you could use something shaken and/or stirred. No surprise your good humor remains intact.

12:42 am

lol melon :o)

12:42 am

I did that already melon <wink>

12:45 am

Hi all :)

12:45 am

hi Liz

12:45 am

Hi Jilli - hope you're a bit less sore today

12:46 am

hello liz

12:46 am

I am, Liz, thanks.

12:46 am

Good - hope you continue to improve

12:46 am

hey liz, happy New Year, hun.

12:46 am

Hi Nonnie :)

12:47 am

Hi Rose - congrats! Just read your news. And hope your stepdaughter makes a speedy recovery :)

Bottom row grey, yay me :P

12:47 am

Happy New Year to all - a little early but I'll say it again later

12:47 am

go melon go

12:47 am

brilliant, melon

12:48 am

Yay melon :)

12:48 am

aww, thanx liz.my christmas was made special by the fact claudia recognised me, and held out her arms for a cuddle, and gave me a kiss, all voluntary.

12:48 am

That's so special, Rose :)

12:49 am

FW.

I need the 4th row S for NBT, have NBS already. No clue yet, please, only this: is at least on of the two a word I should know?

12:49 am

it sure is, liz. she is a very reticent child. she even cuddled into me, trying to avoid my mother.

12:49 am

congrats peach :)

12:49 am

melon, sy4

12:50 am

No - because it was you she wanted to snuggle!!!

12:50 am

Thanks, Lizlin.

rightmost row grey, or gray. I'm on a freakin' tear!

12:51 am

wtg peach

thanks g-rose, I did figure it was an sy, and my attempt after your chiming in was the good guess. NBT for me, 18 to go.

12:53 am

yay, melon. and yay me, just had a call from work, very quiet so i have wednesday off as well, on pay.

12:53 am

Paid leave is always good :)

12:53 am

oh, and peach...WTG GAPEACH!!!!

12:54 am

Probably good that work is quiet too, as you're medical!!!

12:54 am

mental more like it, liz.....

12:55 am

melon, there's an fy4, same as sy4

days off are great. I'm halfway through a two week break as I work for a school district. Mostly nursing a very sore hip, possibly a labral tear—that's with an R! :D

12:56 am

Wish you better melon :)

12:56 am

lol, you're safe melon...ruru not here.

12:56 am

lol melon

lolX2!

12:57 am

how did you do that, melon?

tx Lizlin. It all started with a turned left ankle, which is not better either, then the R hip. Not even sure how it happened, just proof I've hit that age where my warraty has run out and I'm responsible for my own parts and maintenance. MRI Weds, pain doc next week, ortho 24 Jan. Eh.

12:59 am

awww, melon, understand what you are saying. ditto here.

ouch, melon! I hope you get some good and quick relief from your pain.

What's weird, or maybe not as less weight bearing is involved, is that I can ride a bicycle for 20 miles, but can barely walk around the block.

1:00 am

I hate these aches and pains that seem to come about this age - I'm similar to both of you, having read your profiles!

tx, gr. I'm always in simpatico company here.

15 to go, time to consult lickety.

1:01 am

don't forget dee....she is nearly there also.

1:02 am

Lots of people around the same age!

1:02 am

and there is ruru....and dart.....the list goes on

I am so used to being active. I miss salsa and tap dancing, and just getting around. Hell I miss tying my shoes, it's all clogs and slip ons for me for now.

jumping, taking the stairs with alternating feet instead of left always leading. I got a cane :(

1:03 am

hmmmm, what does this say about babbleland?

That we've hit the age where playtime is precious, that's why we're all here!

1:04 am

melon, i'm actually contemplating trying to mow the lawns, that's how good my new knee feels.

Where's Neil to bring the average age down a decade or two? ;)

1:04 am

That's awesome!

1:04 am

probably getting over celebrating his birthday.

Good to hear. Surgery is a possibility here, arthroscopic repair to the hip.

1:05 am

Great that there are some younger people, who love words :)

1:05 am

FW thanks to the baby swan(s)

1:05 am

18 left - just about to ask for a clue for the en 7, when it just jumped out at me!!!

1:05 am

back in time to see you FW jilli, wtg

1:05 am

Congrats Jilli :)

aha...fw's also. I was hunting for the swans also only I didn't know it! lol

1:06 am

i'm up for the other knee and both hips. i told my ortho surgeon, if they don't hurt, you don't get to play with them.

1:06 am

WTG NONNIE!!!!

congrats jilli

1:06 am

So glad about your knee, granny -- and best wishes to your granddaughter

1:06 am

Congrats Nonnie :)

1:06 am

WTG JILLI!!!!

ty ty :o)

tx Lizlin, it just jumped at me, too. 10 to go!

1:07 am

thanx jilli. you rest up, and mend quickly, you hear, me?

granny when did you have your knee worked on?

1:07 am

Yay Nonnie -- and thanks all! Now for bed...*poof

bye bye jilli

1:07 am

Sleep well jilli - see you in the new year :)

1:07 am

nonnie, total knee replacement was 25th june.

nitenite, jilli-doll!

1:08 am

night, jilli, my friend. hope you sleep well.

only 5 tiles to grey out...

1:09 am

whoot, melon, go, girl, go!

I'm glad you're feeling better but sorry for the possibility of other surgeries :o(

Heading to bed...night all and an early Happy New Year!

Aha, so my many performances of Swan Lake have equipped me for this grid! 5 to go, all 4-letter words, 4 tiles.

1:12 am

Sleep well Nonnie :)

1:12 am

night, nonnie. hope you have a sweet sleep.

1:14 am

and you, also, melon. i learned ballet until i was 16. i then had to make a decision...the dance or nursing...nursing won.

1:15 am

often wonder what may have happened if i chose the dance....

1:15 am

You wouldn't be dancing now!!!

1:16 am

I only say that because a friend who's got to have her knee replaced in Jan, has always been physical - it didn't keep her supple!

1:17 am

She swam several times a week!

I know choosing music was a happy decision for me. I never made more than 1/3 of my living playing, but i got to chase the dream and take a little bite.

1:17 am

i mightn't need to be, liz. i might have been a world-famous danseur...it was on the cards..

1:17 am

Sorry if it sounded v harsh! Wasn't meant that way! Sounds like you were very good.

1:18 am

aww, melon, so glad you were able to do that. me? i sit there and watch the dance...and dream a little.

1:18 am

I hope that you've still been able to enjoy dance, even though you chose nursing.

feu d'artifice!

1:18 am

My step son is a musician but teaches to make money!

1:19 am

yeah, liz, my teacher had me ready for the australian ballet school. she was so sure i would choose that career.

1:19 am

yeah, liz, my teacher had me ready for the australian ballet school. she was so sure i would choose that career.

1:19 am

I guess that means congrats melon :)

gr, when I do my water exercise I pretend I'm a ballerina. Why not?

yep, Lizlin. Now to bed, unless anyone wants a clue or two.

1:20 am

Oh wow! That must've been such a difficult decision! Why the nursing route? I've got 2 left feet, so am quite envious, though I do dance with hubby when opportunity presents!

1:20 am

Sleep well melon - til next year! :)

2013, 100th anniversary of The Rite of Spring!

1:20 am

lol, melon. so true. we all feel elegant and graceful in the water. except moi...i had to exercise with flippers on. not elegant at all!

1:21 am

night, melon, hun. hope you sleep well.

1:21 am

No - I'm not elegant! Unbalanced more like! :)

1:22 am

liz, the way i saw it, i needed a career which could carry me through to my dotage....i didn't see dancing as that.

1:23 am

A decision from the head rather than the heart?

1:23 am

yes, liz...still love to watch the dance though.;)

1:24 am

Does Don share the love of dance?

1:25 am

and i'm hip enough to enjoy modern ballet. and no, don does not share my love. so this is one area of my life where we go at tangents.

1:26 am

But I guess you have friends that you can share it with - it's good to be able to indulge your loves and I would think there's some good ballet in Melbourne

1:29 am

liz, the only friend i could share with, died 3 years ago. but i am very patient. one year i will be able to afford the season's ticket again. then i will wallow, luxuriate, indulge in the dance. * sigh *

1:29 am

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

1:30 am

thanx liz.

1:33 am

6 x 4 letter words left - that's weird!

1:35 am

yay, liz

1:37 am

3

1:37 am

liz, did you find the fy4, same as sy4?

1:37 am

Yes, I now have 2 x t

1:37 am

One from each t!

1:38 am

te + double consonant

1:38 am

That was one of them!

1:38 am

te4/6 from the other

1:39 am

that was it! fw!!! :)

1:39 am

Thanks a lot for your help!

1:39 am

Now what am I going to do tomorrow??????

11:54 am

I usually get mine free at 711 at ryans store .. theyre not too bad for a gas station lol

11:55 am

7-11 coffee is okay if it is fresh. If it has been sitting around, it tastes like gasoline.

11:57 am

right, ryan always brews it fresh for me

12:03 pm

can i have a clue for the ac5 please

12:04 pm

pt of skin condition

12:06 pm

"hows your back today, cos did you get moved" was not found in the dictionary

12:06 pm

for some reason i have jerry springer on and this guy is leaving his wife for his first cousin..

12:06 pm

(just thought I'd end the year the way I started I guess--- chatting in the wrong box

12:07 pm

back still sore a bit.. but all i have left are boxes from junk drawers and pictures to put up..... so im about done

12:07 pm

(hides from molly as she finds out i lifted things)

12:08 pm

good for you. just take it easy on your back; ice when you rest if possible

12:08 pm

yeah and i do need to break in the bathtub :)

12:08 pm

oops! Sorry to mention it then

12:09 pm

Hey, if you were dumb enough to lift with a bad back, you deserve what you got. So there. : P

12:09 pm

lol yeah... i just felt bad for ryan dragging the hidea ed up 2 flights alone

12:10 pm

no worries nef id have told her anyway lol

12:10 pm

You need to get one of those back braces that the FedEx guys wear.

12:11 pm

ugh his store has these.. why didnt i think of that? next time for sure

12:11 pm

"next time?"

12:11 pm

how often are you moving?

12:12 pm

They are great for any time you are going to be doing a lot of lifting or moving things around. Or anything else that aggravates your back.

12:12 pm

<---Has lower back issues

12:13 pm

we only got a 6 month lease here. we needed a place close to his store asap. theres another complex down the street we want more (the treehouse) and will be avail. in 6 months.

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

I do not envy you at all, cos. I hate moving

12:14 pm

so do i.. im at the point where im saying if i like it here in 6 months im staying.. ryan says no but.. i have 5 months to convince him :P

12:15 pm

Damn, I'm not sure how much I would unpack if I was only living somewhere for 6 months.

12:15 pm

fireworks

12:16 pm

I think I'd put everything in storage (esp if you're going up 2 flights!) and just have my bed, a chair and some clothes out for 6 months

12:16 pm

YAY, cos!!! WTG!!!

12:17 pm

lol id go crazy.. im sadly materialistic.. trying to change that though :)

12:21 pm

I'd like to pare down and get rid of stuff. I'm not materialistic; but I am sentimental and have been sorting through stuff this past year (but my DIL thinks my place is full of junk!)

12:22 pm

Well, I was just forced to clean out the laundry room for a hot water heater repair, so I am in "throw it away" mode. : D

12:23 pm

(We had ALL of my DH's AUnts' stuff dumped here on Dec. 11th last year after her fire and then she'd died and the storage comapny was through storing stuff)

12:24 pm

Nef, that is extra tough, having to sort through someone else's stuff.

12:24 pm

It's been a huge job; but we're getting through it. My DIL is the type that wants to throw everything (including antiques) and buy new (what I consider "junk") furniture (made out of particle wood or whatever)

12:25 pm

Ew no. Keep the antiques.

12:25 pm

yes keep them!

12:25 pm

id rather have antiques than ikea :)

12:26 pm

I have a low boy and a china closet that belonged to my grandparents. I will never get rid of them. They are gorgeous.

12:26 pm

ok im off to the thrift store to buy vhs movies :)

12:27 pm

Yeah. We have numerous charities that do curb side pick up here. So we've had bags of stuff that we've given away every week. Plus 12 bags of clothing at one haul to a women's shelter (Aunty was very stylish for an 86 y/o!)

12:28 pm

And I'm speaking of huge garbage bags, not paper grocery bags!

12:28 pm

You like vhs movies cos?

12:29 pm

it's always good to re-purpose things if you can

12:29 pm

That's nice that you donated to the women's shelter. They always need clothing.

12:29 pm

stued

12:29 pm

opps so sorry

12:31 pm

It's a women's shelter for battered women and their kids. Our church and my women's group are always asking for donations for them.

12:32 pm

Our last "clothing" drive at church asked for single sheets and towels and blankets for them. We got 21 brand new single sheet sets for them (I can't remember what else; but I thought that was impressive)

12:34 pm

suz; if it isn't a word; don't worry. But you could warn us! ;-)

12:34 pm

That was nice of you Nef. Those places rely on donations.

12:37 pm

our womens group works really hard at helping that center and also the pregnancy center I worked at.

12:41 pm

I have 12 words left; but I need to go get dressed and try to find my fondue pot. We're doing fondue tonight and my pot is missing for some reason. (It's probably out in the garage in a box of pots and pans ; and it's COLD out there today!)

12:42 pm

i have sy 4/7 for bottom s,clue for other one please

12:43 pm

I don't know how else to clue it other than godown and left; then up and right

12:44 pm

12:46 pm

12:49 pm

12:53 pm

12:53 pm

same to you nef:))

1:21 pm

Just looking down the chat and saw the bit about womens refuges. Our Lionesses - of which I am one- made up bags for emergenciers with things like slippers, nighties, soap, shampoo, deod, etc etc - but they are so secret - for obvious reasons - that I cant even find an address or phone number to send the bags too!

Ps4/5 babblers! I ac4/6 this grid in no time so now here is a story of clues as I always te4/5 to do when I'm done When I was in college I got bu 6/30 trying to steal a cup of coffee from a ca 4/8 that I worked in. I'd just gotten to work and needed my early dose of ca4/11eine. Even though I worked there,I still had to pay for the coffee. I decided to de4/10 the stupid store rules and took a cup of coffee without paying for it. When I didn't pay for my coffee, a ge 4/6leman named Te 5/8, who was also my boss, caught me taking it.I denied any wrong doing and told him I had already paid. He said, "it really ge4/6 my goat when people steal & then lie about it!" Things got really te4/4e & we argued for about ten minutes. Then he threatened to get the fe 4/8 involved so I decided to conce4/6 and gave in. I had to fa4/8 the consequences of my actions. I was also fa 5/20 with criminal charges. Fortunately, I did not go to jail.I got fired from that job and got no more pay st4/7s. This en 4/5 my story. I am going to go watch the Gwyneth Paltrow film "Du 5/14".

3:15 pm

ty minv..may need it, progress crawling now..LOL

3:17 pm

I just changed my icon and posted story in profile. I am still saving my last word for later tonight.Maybe I should wait until 11:59 to enter last word and get FWs. I could end the year 2012 with getting my fireworks on Babble.

Just think, according to time zones, the flight from Sydney to Vancouver only takes 3 hours!!!!!!

6:57 pm

Before you moan and complain about the lorries on the motorway, take time out to remember who delivers what you want, where you want it to be, all year round. A Trucker is for Life, not just for Christmas. xxx

11:39 pm

It's been a strange NY Eve here due to family stuff, but thinking back over the past year I think the positives and negatives were fairly equal. Would quite like more positives in 2013 though.

11:40 pm

Its silly but I always have bad luck in odd numbered years and this coming year ends with the number 13!

11:41 pm

2012 brought a lot of bad things, lost 4 good friends and hubby diagnoesed with Alzheimers...so am looking forward to 2013 being better

11:41 pm

Don't think like that, cos! Think positive thoughts. xxx

11:41 pm

Well maybe 13 will be different

11:41 pm

yes im gonna try do positive thinking excercises in 2013

11:42 pm

None of us must apprach 2013 thinking '13' bad number, bad luck.

11:42 pm

happy new years babblers!

11:42 pm
