12:36 am

Oh, you need clues for those?

12:37 am

Hi all :)

12:37 am

hi Liz

ca7,36 -- Latin plural of ca6,24: a surgical tool.

Hi Lizlin. :)

12:38 am

guess I now know why I couldn't find it!

12:39 am

only surgical tools I know are clamps and scalpels

ca7,32 = Latin plural of ca6,12: a series of writings of the fathers of the Christian church.

Well not a clamp or scalpel... but a kind of tube for draining fluid.

12:40 am

Not helpful!!!!!! LOL!

ca + word for zero, minus one "L", + vowel

12:40 am

agreed liz!

Well sorry. I'm trying. :/

Wow. Maybe I should give up. :/

12:41 am

ty neil -- got that

12:41 am

Now that last one was good!!!! :) Just not up on Christian writings!

Who made latkes while tipsy at Hanukkah. :P

12:42 am

null, nan

12:42 am

Now that sounds like fun! Love latkes :)

12:43 am

epistles isn't there either

Oh they were good. I should show you a few photos of the process and make you hungry.

12:43 am

Ours weren't bad - and I have to admit, I did also scoff a couple of doughnuts!

12:44 am

nan, I just gave you a hint

Can't tell I had a few beers before whisking up the batter here, can you? http://tinyurl.com/czc8j7n

12:51 am

Wouldn't do that to you Neil

I spoil him rotten though... see: http://tinyurl.com/8gsh4xc

That's better :)

That's in my mom's apartment when we were visiting her one day... that's Charlie's favorite spot when I'm over there, haha.

12:52 am

Here most dogs are outdoor dogs, which I find strange

12:53 am

Charlie obviously knows a soft touch!!!!

Yeah. Why have dogs just to leave them outside?

All the time, like.

They need to be outside some of the time.

And yeah, he sure does.

12:54 am

I don't understand it! Yes of course they need to walk and run and investigate smells!

Yep.

12:54 am

But they're also there as pets, in my opinion to be spoilt!!!!

And pee on stuff. :P

He's gotta mark his territory.

12:55 am

:(

12:55 am

Yeah but outdoors!!!!

And yes... in my opinion too.

Aren't they family members? He sure is.

12:55 am

over halfway

So it's kind of appropriate I guess, that he looks like a little lamb. Haha!

12:55 am

Knew I liked you! They're people aren't they?

Of course.

12:56 am

Innocent look of guilty dog - who me? I didn't grab the meat of the kitchen table when you weren't there!!!!

Yeah. It just jumped off the table by itself.

12:57 am

As our dog did one shabbat, when I was growing up!

Oh you're Jewish too?

12:57 am

You noticed!

Well duh. :P

Kinda hard to miss with me isn't it? Hanukkah/latke photos aside... I think it's pretty obvious.

But I can't see any photos of you.

12:58 am

OK - got to go. Just back from the gym but couldn't resist peeking at the grid before showering! Yuck!

12:59 am

Well - with chanukah greetings and not celebrating Christmas ...

Oh ok... enjoy your shower.

12:59 am

I post them on facebook

Well I've never seen any of that.

I probably wasn't here if/when you posted Hanukkah greetings or mentioned not doing Christmas.

Even when I am here I'm often not at the computer.

We're off to bed now... work in the am. So good night/day and take care.

1:01 am

I tend to leave my computer on when I'm not here too. Really must go now - sleep well :)

5:43 am

Hi ((ruby))

5:44 am

makes me think of spring!

5:44 am

Is your building still on generators, annie?

5:44 am

Yes, ruby, sadly to say

5:45 am

the wheels have come off here, too, the hot water heater, the fridge, the new car, (me). Fortunately, I've been able to get various repairmen, even on this holiday long weekend\

5:47 am

at least you were able to get them all repaired, I hope

5:47 am

not the fridge, though

5:47 am

at least it's so cold that I can empty it tomorrow and put stuff outside

5:49 am

It is very cold here too. I bundle up so that I barely fit into my compact car.

5:49 am

it's hard to do all this stuff myself as Burt is no help. He does his finite chores (food shopping, bird and fish feeding and dog walking -- and i TRULY appreciate that -- but the rest is all on me

5:49 am

that's a funny image, annie, like one of those little kids in a snowsuit whose arms and legs won't bend!

5:50 am

ruby, I know it is hard to be a caretaker but the food shopping is a big help. The picture you painted..that's me.

5:51 am

or is the word caregiver. Either way, it is not easy.

5:51 am

it's true, if I had to shop as well as cook, it would be too much -- and most of the food is for him and the pups anyway. I'd be happy with an egg sandwich!

5:52 am

so would I. I do a lot of cooking because Bobby has to eat too but I don't mind.

5:54 am

Morning Ruby. I'm lucky, my son is a big help with the chores. : )

5:55 am

there is a very big book, just out, which makes me think of you. It is called "Far From the Tree" by Andrew Solomon and is about horizontal identities in families, whether through color, disability, sexual preference or anomaly. It is fascinating and adds totally new insights into those questions for me

5:56 am

you've trained him well, molly. When my son is here, he, too, helps, but unfortunately he's rather far away.....

5:58 am

I'm not sure I agree with a lot of Solomon's points in that book. But it's an interesting read nonetheless.

5:59 am

for nbt, may I have stats for the y and the a and n underneath it

5:59 am

have you finished it? I just started it yesterday as it was my Christmas present to me

5:59 am

6:01 am

they always fit!

6:01 am

And you always get what you want : D

6:02 am

I got an Amazon gift card for $150 from one of the internet people I work for and I was like a kid in the candy store.

6:05 am

and I got a Barnes and Noble gift card and I cant wait to go. I much prefer Amazon as the books are less in cost.

6:05 am

those are great gifts!

6:06 am

good morning my babble friends:)

6:06 am

I got a Barnes & Noble gift card from one of my sons. I have already spent it. : D

6:06 am

I didn't buy gifts this year but sent Jung's Red Book to my niece in London for her birthday. She's a psychologist and was knocked out. I used Amazon.uk

6:06 am

{{crossy}}

6:07 am

((ruby))

6:07 am

Hi crossy :)

6:07 am

howdy annie:))

6:07 am

Amazon is my go to for internet shopping. And I have a prime membership so most things are free two day shipping.

6:08 am

what they're not so good for is food; international shipping is too expensive and things can arrive broken with very difficult recourse

6:08 am

The only place I order food from is Harry & David.

6:09 am

they use a lot of different distributors, alll over the place. I hd American stuff arrive from South Africa. Go figure!

6:09 am

Oh, and Omaha Steaks.

6:10 am

I used to order from Omaha steaks when I lived in Miami, what a pleasure!

6:10 am

What is Harry & David?

6:10 am

If you catch their specials with free shipping, it's a very nice gift for someone. Harry & David is another food distributor. They do a lot of fruit and it's very good.

6:12 am

couldn't find the na4 and don't have an 8 or any 7's, but otherwise, cranking out the words

6:13 am

na4...nick name for Gran

6:14 am

I have that, but it came from the other n

6:15 am

Then it must be na4...short for Mrs. Reagan.

6:15 am

Nope, that isn't it either.

6:16 am

have that, too,(short for me, too), but it's also from the other n

6:16 am

And it's an na5

6:16 am

please pray for my cat marty. he won't eat at all this morning. i am taking him for xrays and stuff soon.

6:34 am

hope the exam turns out ok

6:34 am

what other symtoms is he showing?

6:34 am

good day to you all

6:35 am

((sprite))

6:36 am

crossy :) *hug* hursh, am holding him close in my thoughts... poor cat. I hope it will be minor and he will be fine soon

morning Babblers :)

6:38 am

hi Nanette :)

I also hope its nothing serious for Marty, Hurshy

I recently had to give up my cat and have decided not to try with another one although I do miss him terribly

6:40 am

give yourself at least time to mourn him. Having to let go a pet is really painful.

Sprite he did not pass but I had to give him to someone who could keep him as an outdoor cat as he developed some very nasty habits

6:42 am

aw that is nasty! So sorry to hear that.

getting another cat anytime soon would only revisit those habits I think

6:43 am

if you feel the habits were a reaction to set circumstances, I think you are right.

possibly but the fact that scents stay around for a very long time especially to another cat is not a welcome thought

6:44 am

no, indeed :(

6:45 am

Was he neutered, Nono?

yes he was

6:45 am

hi Bea

6:46 am

Morning all.

6:46 am

I find the best cats to be spayed females.

I had adopted him as an older cat. He developed a urninary infection which I later found out he had a long history of

We tried all sorts of things but nothing worked so was advised by the vet that perhaps he should be an outdoor cat

but we are not allowed to have outdoor cats where we live

6:48 am

so sad to learn that only later :(

yes sprite I was very upset about the whole thing and a bit angry that I hadnt been informed of previous health issues even tho I had asked

6:50 am

they should have told you. Now they only created more problems, for the cat and for you.

I agree! I feel so bad about the cat as he had never been an outside cat and I still worry about him

6:52 am

I would too. You can give him away, but you cannot rip him from your heart. *hug*

stats for the top e in last column please

6:56 am

el4/4 I think

ty! I could not see that

nbs and nbt

6:57 am

with all those Es, it is a miracle we can see words at all ;)

6:58 am

gratz

6:59 am

Nan, I have found that neutered males are excellent. If you get a cat as a kitten you can discourage bad habits when they start. Don't deprive yourself of the love of a cat just because of this one bad experience. Another cat should benefit from all the love you have to give and they can be such wonderful companions.

6:59 am

hi Mimi :)

7:00 am

((sprite))

Hi Mimi

7:01 am

Neutered males generally do not have a spraying problem either.

7:01 am

so... why no elfmen? I could do with a nice Legalas.

The vet advised against it for a period of time Mimi

7:01 am

*Legolas

7:02 am

I'm with you, sprite! Though, Aragorn would be most welcome also!

7:02 am

ah yes, him especially. With his kind eyes... I can watch Aragorn for hours :D

7:04 am

I haven't seen the new Hobbit movie yet but will be doing so. Will miss these guys, however. My favorite of the trilogy was the last one.

7:05 am

was just checking... promised my family we would go see it this vacation. No Aragorn though :(

7:06 am

I have booked tickets to see it tomorrrow, very excited

7:06 am

we find neutered male kitties the best.if you are not adverse to black kitties,i highly recommend the black bombay breed as they are redily available at your local shelter and have amazing personalities but be warned,they fast become a one person cat and must curl up tight with you when you sleep

7:07 am

No, since it is a prequel. I love finding movie that enable me to get into fantasy....don't have much use for "reality" TV either since I have enough reality in my life already and now am searching for a good fantasy! Exciting, xe!

Crossy that almost perfectly describes my Shadow but SHE was not male LOL

7:08 am

like i always say mimi "i want to be entertained in a movie,take my mind off of like.if i want reality,i can always open a window"

7:08 am

life

7:09 am

I have two black short-haired and a big gray striped. Two males, one female. My black male has soooo much personality. He even "argues" with me.

7:09 am

I'm with you, crossy!

7:09 am

yup,they will

7:09 am

my 10 month old black kitty was helping me shave this morning

7:10 am

All three of mine were strays and they are incredibly affectionate. The rotate getting into my lap so I'm rarely without a lovely creature close to me. Males me feel less alone for sure.

7:11 am

and he loves bendy straws and will play fetch with them

7:11 am

very nice mimi

7:11 am

Boy, am I mis-typing things today! Trying to wake up.

7:11 am

both our black kitties are indoor kitties but we trained them to harness and leash,so we can take them for walkies

7:12 am

not to worry mimi,i am no grammar nazi

7:13 am

All three of mine are strictly indoors....too dangerous to allow them out. But I have a balcony that I'm working on fixing up with planters and greenery for them. Can't allow them out there until I get it so they can't jump up on the wall since my Dodger cat has seizures and I'm afraid he'd fall off.

7:13 am

i automatically just read around spelling errors,as i make so many myself

7:14 am

ahh ,yes, a cattery.it is good idea for balcony

7:14 am

So do I, crossy. I find that perfection in life is merely a concept with no basis in reality.

7:14 am

you are a wise woman mimi.common over for crossy breakfast

7:15 am

Would love that, crossy!

7:15 am

leave your calorie counter at home!

7:16 am

“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Act V, Scene V, Macbeth, William Shakespeare

7:16 am

Always do these days, crossy....I figure that ship has sailed and at this point I'm just going to enjoy and not worry about it!

7:16 am

reminds me,i best go see how the bacon and egg suppiles are holding out..brb

7:17 am

Thanks for the cultural uplift, BR!!

7:17 am

You were doing quite well without my help.

7:19 am

I appreciate a Shakespeare reference ANY time. I spent the summer between my freshman and sophomore years in high school reading his works. My peers thought I was NUTS---but I loved it.

7:20 am

Half the time I need a translator.

7:20 am

I had a couple of compilation books that reworded them all so it was much easier.

7:21 am

I was more of David and Ann find sand on the beach

7:22 am

I was fortunate (especially in a small rural Ohio school) to have an English teacher my senior year who spent most of the time reading and discussing "The Prophet." Changed my life.

7:23 am

Sprite and Nan, are you still here? How do you like my new icon for the new year?

7:26 am

I read The Prophet. Donated it to the library.

7:27 am

sorry! Got sidetracked, ordered tickets for The Hobbit online.

7:27 am

Even named a woolly monkey I had Gibran...no hidden meaning there.

7:28 am

Good for you, sprite! Wish we could go together!

7:28 am

Mimi, I love it! A road ahead with lots of promise.

7:28 am

aw yeah, that would be lovely. Alas...

7:29 am

hi BabbleRabble, good to see you! I am reading that article you referred me to. A long read, but worth it.

7:29 am

I had such a terrible 2012...a dear friend told me 2013 will be my year....hope he's right.

7:29 am

I did not know Gibran was wooly

7:29 am

No, but the monkey was!

7:29 am

I love Gibran. We even used one of his texts as wedding text.

7:30 am

*hugs Mimi* 2013 is gonna be grand. Promise. We will make it so.

7:30 am

I gave a copy to my daughter when she turned 18....she has yet to appreciate it, alas.

7:30 am

From your mouth..........

7:31 am

So far, 2013 is just a number

7:31 am

Sometimes I don't know where my kids came from. It's like aliens came and took the kids I was supposed to have a replaced them with these people.

7:32 am

Sounds terrible, but there are reasons for my feelings.

7:33 am

My new icon is Monument Valley here in Arizona on Navajo land. It is a very spiritual place and starkly beautiful.

7:33 am

Imagine a man who doesn't believe in anything, hope for anything, doesn't love anyone. This is a description of a dead or paralyzed soul. This happens from great grief, or from an unhappy upbringing when parents make from their children's souls paralytics. ~Simon Soloveychik

7:33 am

I am sorry that is the way it is with your kids :(

7:34 am

may I please give you a hug, BabbleRabble?

7:34 am

I am grateful every day for my resilient spirit that never gives up even in the face of terrible pain.

7:34 am

That is why that memory article is so special

7:35 am

Could I get the link for that, BR?

7:35 am

it certainly is. Am reading it with concentration, a bit at a time. Thank you for sharing it.

7:36 am

One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore. ~Charles Horton Cooley

7:36 am

Mimi: http://tinyurl.com/azqvzk8

7:36 am

I still had it open.

7:37 am

also absolutely true.

7:39 am

This is why I play brain games and word games, in part, to keep my mind alert and active. Staying open to others and to possibility is important also. I always wonder what's just around the bend, even now.

7:40 am

one of the reasons I play as well. But that 'familiar, thoughtless intercourse' is far beyond my reach indeed.

7:41 am

I'm hoping to visit rubyfoo in the Spring...never been to Europe before and hoping it will happen....Paris in the springtime!

7:42 am

What I'd really love is to take a culinary tour of Italy---drooling just thinking about it!

7:43 am

“We find that people's beliefs about their efficacy affect the sorts of choices they make in very significant ways. In particular, it affects their levels of motivation and perseverance in the face of obstacles. Most success requires persistent effort, so low self-efficacy becomes a self-limiting process. In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, strung together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.” ~Albert Bandura

7:43 am

Mimi, that would be so cool! Oh, keep me posted? Perhaps we can meet somehow.

7:44 am

I was hoping you'd say that, sprite!

7:44 am

:D

7:45 am

BR, I've always had a greater confidence in my abilities than my competence justified...but kept me going and exploring.

7:45 am

That the birds of worry and care fly about your head This you cannot change But that they build nests in your hair This you can prevent. -- Chinese Proverb

7:45 am

Another good quote. I usually feel like a total loser. It takes a lot of effort for me to even recognise the things I AM succeeding in. But I can truly say that for me it is going better. Step by step.

7:46 am

Sprite, you are anything but a loser! Your spirit and kindness shine through and that makes you a valuable and wonderful friend.

7:46 am

hehehe, that is one of my favorites. The one thing I am really good at is that I never give up. Something I admire in you too, BabbleRabble.

7:47 am

Mimi, those are sweet and lovely words. I can read them, but not really feel them.

7:47 am

Absorb them, sprite...you deserve it.

7:48 am

oh... and that is MY shortcoming, not any lack in your words!

7:53 am

I am always so happy to see you here, sprite. ((hug))

7:54 am

and vice versa, Mimi :) *hug right back at ya* And I am always happy to see you too, BabbleRabble. I always say so, because I mean it very much.

7:55 am

Happy 2nd day of the New Year to all

7:56 am

hello Aloy! Thank you. To you too, and a waggle from Terra.

7:57 am

Hi, Aloy!! Right back at ya!

7:57 am

(-: ty sprite.. so far, the New Year has gone well

7:57 am

hi Mimi - just opened chat.. down to 37, haven't seen the 8, but starting on my second cuppa

7:59 am

Did you see my post about my new icon?

8:00 am

I am doing lousy in the biggies department, as usual. No 7s and no 8, with only 48 left.

8:00 am

looks like I missed BabbleRabble.. no, Mimi.. scrolling back

8:01 am

It is Monument Valley here in Arizona on Navajo land....very spiritual and starkly beautiful.

8:01 am

ooh, you are in AZ? so is my daughter and sil

8:01 am

I have the 8 and one 7 if any one wants stats.

8:01 am

Where are they, Aloy?

8:02 am

Phoenix, building new home, south mountain

8:02 am

hi Bzzn

8:02 am

Hello

8:02 am

Hello

8:02 am

I'd love stats, Bea, please.

8:02 am

To abuse or neglect a child, to deprive the child of his or her own identity and ability to experience joy in life, is to commit soul murder. Soul murder is the perpetration of brutal or subtle acts against children that result in their emotional bondage to the abuser and, finally, in their psychic and spiritual annihilation.

8:02 am

Know exactly where they are. I'm in north Phoenix but when I first moved here lived in Tempe. Also, I'm originally from Cincinnati, Ohio! Small world.

8:02 am

Mimi, you inspired me. I also changed my icon into my new year wish.

8:03 am

Hi, Bea!

8:03 am

Pax, Aloy

8:03 am

Pax, BabbleRabble.. (-:

8:03 am

Soul murder. It should be punishable by law.

8:04 am

I think it gets taken care of in the afterlife...at least that is my belief.

8:04 am

I shall stop.

8:06 am

I appreciate your sharing these quotes, BabbleRabble. They help me. You must spend a lot of time investigating to find such 'right' ones.

8:07 am

I think Bea has a chog bug :(

8:08 am

Why?

8:08 am

Mimi, I don't know about the afterlife. But I do think that life is about learning, on soul level, so I guess there must be some kind of reviewing, some kind of balancing and learning afterwards.

8:09 am

Karma at work.

8:09 am

I seek oblivion ... a sip from the river Lethe ... not even trace of what passed for existence

8:09 am

oh, because I saw you repeating 'hello', and you didn't react to my asking for stats, so I thought the chog was acting up at your side.

8:10 am

Not even a trace of the things you learned, BabbleRabble?

8:10 am

Sorry. Missed you asking.

8:10 am

I could tell you stories about that, sprite. If you like, contact me at my email: catjdesigns@yahoo.com. Ruby and I email often and it's so rewarding.

8:10 am

no problem, just happy you don't have a chog bug :)

8:10 am

pe8/50

8:10 am

The only certainty I learned is I did not have the answer.

8:10 am

thank you :) *searching*

8:10 am

ca7/36

8:11 am

I ty too, Bzzn..

8:11 am

did I see my name bandied about? lol

8:11 am

I will, Mimi! Would love to exchange emails with you.

8:11 am

hello friends. 92 earlier but no 7's or 8, like sprite

8:11 am

hahahaha! Hi ruby :D

8:11 am

hi ruby

8:12 am

{{aloy}}

8:12 am

cl7/40

8:12 am

The only reality to me is change

8:12 am

maybe it is because we cannot seem to get the question clear, BabbleRabble. I feel like that too, not knowing the answer.

8:13 am

nothing changes if nothing changes.

8:13 am

ca + ***l and void + highest card: *c*

8:13 am

happy new year. . .

8:13 am

nice one, ivesy, and hi :)

8:13 am

happy new year, jmc!

8:13 am

hi ivesy and jmc too

8:13 am

hello and happy new year to all.

8:13 am

HNY jmc, it is nice to see you

8:14 am

I don't do so well with change, but am learning...

8:14 am

1. who would want to create a rotating sphere inhabited by life ... who have no idea why we are here

8:15 am

my father always said, "I don't talk so good-lookin, but I do the best I am"

8:15 am

awww that is sweet and funny!

8:15 am

((ruby)) I was talking about you earlier!

8:15 am

he was sweet and funny too (-:

8:16 am

Hi ivesy!

8:16 am

i have to learn that i cant solve my sons problems.heck i cant solve my own lol.. hi mimi

8:16 am

Hi, jmc!

8:16 am

that's a good way to look at it ivesy; his problems belong to him

8:16 am

ty, BR.. got two from your clue

8:16 am

Morning All

8:16 am

same here. But at least I can be there for him, support him. Am very happy he lets me.

8:17 am

{{hego}}

8:17 am

hi hego!

8:17 am

I used to think I had all the answers...now I'm not sure I even understand all the questions!

8:17 am

took me a long time to realize tht ruby. how are u and the pups?

8:17 am

lol.. i like that mimi

8:17 am

thanks for the clues, got the 8 and 2 7s.

8:17 am

i have to learn to be more gracious :-) babble has helped with that

8:17 am

hiya hego!

8:17 am

: )

8:17 am

we love you, gracious jmc!

8:18 am

*curtsies* ty sprite

8:18 am

i need patience... and i need to quit smoking..... still.

8:18 am

the pups are my greatest joy. and Ruby is almost 10, so this past 6 months' of ministrations have really helped her. I wish somebody would give me and hour and a half massage every day!

8:18 am

My "grace" comes and goes---like Mexican food.

Sorry, could I ask how many words there are today?

8:18 am

*giggle*

8:19 am

hi frank, 147 today

8:19 am

147

8:19 am

2. Because of misadventures blamed on beings who likely could not change their behavior we are deemed sinners who must repent ... included a sin none of us were around to commit that a god saved us from ... when the save god set the stage for the downfall

8:19 am

147

8:19 am

147 frank and hello

8:19 am

ohhh that sounds like heaven.. a nice massage.

8:19 am

146 Frank

8:19 am

hi frank.. 147

8:19 am

lol 147

hello and thank you :)

8:19 am

I think you are both cool and very gracious, jmc

8:19 am

*hands hego reading glasses*

8:19 am

hi frank, of course, 147 today

8:19 am

ty JMC. needed those.

8:20 am

i have been criticized in noncyber life for being too blunt

8:20 am

did someone say 147? lol

8:20 am

ok, I am lost in cyberspace. If you guys can see this: I am closing and restartihg the game

8:20 am

Ruby, if I'm able to visit in the Spring, sprite might meet up with us....too cool.

8:20 am

np hego

8:20 am

I often am a belligerent bobo

8:20 am

what! You! No!

8:20 am

they tell me i need to duct tape my mouth..hmm

8:20 am

on4 if you both want me to, Mimi and ruby... don't wanna intrude upon Mimi's visit!

8:21 am

mimi, we have to see how Burt is doing in the next couple of months. At the moment, I am just hoping he'll get through the cold months without another pneumonia

8:21 am

JMC I prefer to think of you as honest and forthcoming.

8:21 am

well my persona in babble is more a concilator and that has helped me in noncyber life. . .

8:21 am

bluntness can be very liberating. I take straightforward over polite anytime.

8:21 am

noncyber life? what's that? lol

8:22 am

I often just open my mouth to change feet. If it's in my brain, it generally comes out my mouth!

I'm inclined to agree with you there, Sprite.

8:22 am

ivesy, I aften forget to turn on my filter as well.

8:22 am

I agree Sprite.

8:22 am

ty hego and sprite. . . i like people being blunt with me but i think you can be blunt and polite and that is what i am going for

8:22 am

any way that is my new years resolution. . .

8:22 am

I think blunt as an excuse for cruel is inexcusable. and jmc is NEVER cruel

8:22 am

dont make too many friends that way, but at least i know the ones i hve like me for who i am

8:23 am

Sometimes "killing" with kindness is more effective.

8:23 am

I got banned from a site for telling the owner he epitomizes all that is evil and enjoys being the meanest dude in cyberspace.

8:23 am

I'm trying to take lessons from the southern ladies I am around. So far, not much luck.

8:23 am

ok coffee time bbl. have a good day/nite all

8:23 am

awww ty ruby [blush]

8:23 am

any sentence that starts with "To be brutally frank...." should be unheard

8:23 am

favorite Dr Suess quote: Be who you are and say what you mean.

8:23 am

perhaps you could have rephrased it more politely BR haha

8:24 am

ah, true, ruby. Bluntness is fine, but being deliberately hurtful is not. What I try, is to say 'I' and not 'you'... telling how I feel about things and not what the other person does/thinks/is etc. It seems to help ;)

8:24 am

and I thought the truth shall set you free?

8:24 am

bye ivesy

8:24 am

The people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind.

8:24 am

because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter :D

8:24 am

snap

8:24 am

snap to sprite and hego

8:24 am

well it set you free from that site

8:24 am

There you go! Sprite reads Dr Suess too!

8:25 am

ouch, BabbleRabble... I think that particular truth set you free from that site, lol

8:25 am

snap

8:25 am

<-- avid Dr Suess fan.

8:25 am

snap, jmc :D

8:25 am

me too

8:26 am

yes i say beft go left all the time myself

8:26 am

8:26 am

Are there words in this grid?

8:26 am

I suppose I could of said, dear owner you are to be commended ... you are the exemplar of Neanderthal who should not venture from your cave.

8:26 am

no big ones that I can find, that's for sure

8:27 am

Um, I don't think that would have been better BR.

8:27 am

mwah I don't think that would have helped much, BabbleRabble :D

8:27 am

what grid?

8:27 am

hmmmm i don't think that is quite it either BR. . .

8:27 am

words... yeah, hego. Must be. I found some.

8:27 am

lol Aloy.

8:27 am

think he would have seen the hairy ape analogy

8:28 am

Dear boss, can you come again when you don't have so long to stay?

8:28 am

hahahaha

8:28 am

better. . .

8:29 am

You're getting there.

8:29 am

please don't slam the door on your way out

8:29 am

It's been a long time since we saw you last... let's keep it that way in future

8:29 am

Famous Clapton song in the grid.

8:30 am

layla

8:30 am

yup

8:30 am

holy cow, need to cl7 my act

8:30 am

I always thought it was spelled like Mohammed's wife....

8:30 am

that's one word?

8:30 am

you, Aloy? Never.

8:31 am

ty snuffy. . .who'd have thought that was one word?

8:31 am

8:32 am

lol, BR.. we actually had a bit of frost before Christmas - that cold front swooped on down

8:32 am

8:32 am

Time to go feed the cats and try to wake up more. Good day, all, and hugs all around!!

8:32 am

i was ice skating in my car new years eve. . .

8:33 am

8:33 am

8:33 am

8:33 am

. . . backwards down a steep hill. . .

8:33 am

eeeeeeeeek.. horrors

8:33 am

was not the new years eve of my dreams

8:34 am

oy vey, whatever that means!

8:34 am

I am trying to join land of living..this cold has knocked me on my kiester

8:34 am

used to fall once every winter on black ice when I lived in Binghamton

8:34 am

it means oh, woe.

8:34 am

that is whay kept me away from babble until today. . .

8:34 am

who was skating downhill backwards?

8:35 am

*sends healing vibes to all sufferers from the cold*

8:35 am

<----- hopped up on cold meds

8:35 am

stats for the 8, pls, I'll try one more time

8:35 am

Oy vey (Yiddish: אױ װײ), oy vay, or just oy — or even more elaborately oy vey iz mir — is an exclamation of dismay or exasperation meaning something like "oh, pain" or "woe is me".

You would have missed the black ice this year. England's been practically afloat this winter.

8:35 am

thanks sprite { hugging from within her hazmat suit}

8:35 am

me in my car carlee. . . i had gone about halfway up this hill andt then when i turned the corner found out they had quite plowing

8:35 am

woe is me. That is what I was thinking as translation. Wee mij, in dutch.

8:36 am

oh dear JMC but you are ok?

8:36 am

*makes warm brandy and milk for carlee*

8:36 am

just as the Netherlands, frank. Incredibly wet, even for us.

8:36 am

hmmm yummy..thanks JMC

8:36 am

yes but it screwed up my nye plans . . . ended up in a hotel in a small town. . .

8:36 am

we have about a foot of snow

8:36 am

The horse would likely say, whoa is me

8:36 am

how do you keep the milk from curdling, jmc?

8:36 am

bummer jmc

8:36 am

but you are safe JMC

8:36 am

lol BabbleRabble

8:36 am

best thing for a cold carlee

8:37 am

groan, that is funny BR

8:37 am

i zap it in a microwave ruby

8:37 am

you don't boil it just get it hot

8:37 am

aaah, don't have a microwave

8:37 am

sugar?

8:37 am

well then heat it slowly in a pan . . .

Oh dear, that must be a bigger problem for you. I hope you don't have our floods! At least here we have a little higher ground to clamber up to ;)

8:37 am

warm it gently in a pan Ruby

8:38 am

my friend who first made it for me put in sugar. . .but i don't have much of a sweet tooth so i don't

8:38 am

I boil my breakfast milk, but this sounds like more of an afternoon treat

8:38 am

hmmm..i have some crap brandy in the cupboard....

8:38 am

Good morning!

8:38 am

if I started my day with brandy, I'd get even less done

8:38 am

so far so good, frank. We are used to the threat of floods, so the defences are pretty good. I have seen some of the flooding (jacula posted pictures) at your side of the ca5. Awful.

8:39 am

morning car.

8:39 am

if you add sugar you won't notice how crappy the brandy is haha

8:39 am

Hi Car!

8:39 am

ruby, it is for a cold! If you are that ill, you don't have to get anything done ;)

8:39 am

that kind of brandy is a good base for sangria

8:39 am

hi car!

8:39 am

true enough... so...do I add white or brown sugar???

8:39 am

Hego!!!! What a cute weemee!

8:39 am

I would add brown

8:39 am

ty ty

8:40 am

sangria... I have a lovely recipe for sangria :D Given to me by the owner of a restaurant we used to frequent.

8:40 am

Hi jmc! Hi Ruby!

8:40 am

Not as good as your, though.

8:40 am

Hello carlee!

8:40 am

hmmm if i had a choice i would pick brown for the richer taste. . .

8:40 am

I'm not sick, just like the idea of brandy and milk. Used to drink scotch and milk, but sometimes it curdled

8:40 am

I take it you are not feeling much better today, carlee?

8:40 am

I perceive a microwave as a friendly acknowledgement of a micro

8:40 am

Yes it is, hego! Adorable!

8:40 am

that is what I was thinking... my schedule is all messed up...is almost 10 am...I want leftover turkey dinner...

8:40 am

how do you find a weemee?

8:40 am

hi car. I'll let you know if I last through dinner.....

8:40 am

back from store:)) snowing like crazy yet again

8:41 am

Hi Aloy! It is an app on my phone.

8:41 am

google images, Aloy?

8:41 am

nope... I am hopped up on cold meds atm...

Jump to: navigation, search The world's busiest airports by passenger traffic are measured by total passengers (data from Airports Council International), defined as passengers enplaned plus passengers deplaned plus direct-transit passengers. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta has been the world's busiest airport every year since 2000; with all airports combined London has the world's busiest city airport system by passenger count.

ty for alt laughing dog

9:29 am

just have to latin it up a tad is all

9:30 am

hiya crossy! guess what i got for a pressie?

9:30 am

tell crossy:)

9:30 am

kindle fire

9:31 am

yaaaa! wish it had been a barns and noble or sony or kobo product though..i have over 500 books in epub format to share but sadly kindle is pretty proprietary with the ole file formats but all in all it is a good machine

9:32 am

if you wish you can e mail me and i will send you my book listings and you can pick some and give it a try

9:33 am

that's what i wanted to know more about, epub and how to download to read on the kindle...

9:33 am

and do not forget to hit www.gutenberg.com for all your free classics

9:33 am

start there,it is good practice when getting to know your first reader

9:33 am

can i use adobe to download?

9:34 am

go to gutenberg first to get a feel for it

9:34 am

okay. i knew you'd be able to help me thru this.

9:34 am

Try Calibre. Its a free program that will reformat just about any ebook format.

9:34 am

http://www.gutenberg.org/

9:34 am

and calbire is amazing for file conversions

9:35 am

then there is www.epubbud.com

9:35 am

but once you get used to things,calibre is a must have as it also backs up all your books for you

9:36 am

calibre dot org, dot com?

9:36 am

per the earlier chog, junk brandy and milk is not bad, and I didn[t even heat the milk!

9:36 am

if the new kindles can use them,always use e-pub files.i find they format better,and use less space

9:36 am

I book my Mom a Nook for Christmas. She hasnt tried it yet - hopefully it wont be too complicated for her. She is not technology savvy.

9:36 am

now if your book has lots of pictures i would use pdg file format

9:36 am

crossy and the mrs love their nooks

9:37 am

pdf*

9:37 am

You can download Calibre from http://calibre-ebook.com

9:37 am

I charged it and downloaded several books for her - changed the font to large so she can see - I showed her how to turn it on and find the book

9:37 am

i have a first gen nook riverdance and it is still going strong

9:37 am

I downloaded the books directly onto the Nook - is it better to download on computer first?

9:37 am

I use it for my Nook all the time.

9:37 am

once she gets used to it,she will love it river

9:38 am

River I don't think it matters. I do download books both ways. (laptop or nook)

9:39 am

She doesnt own a computer so I will have to keep putting books on for her.

9:39 am

Does she have access to wifi? Most Nooks will download that way.

9:40 am

Think Starbucks or your local library.

9:41 am

I dont know if her friends have wifi or they are directly hooked to a modem. I registered the nook in my name and have my credit card info in it. She can order whenever she wants but she needs computer access. My Mom is 84. I doubt she will go to those sources on her own. She has 7 books on it right now so that will keep her busy for a while. And she did tell me she has several friends with e-readers and they love them, so I am sure they willl help her get started.

9:42 am

You're lucky. My Mom won't even try a ebook reader.

9:43 am

I didnt ask her, I just got it for christmas. she has trouble reading now unless it is large print because of her macular degeneration. She loves to read so I thought this would be a good idea.

9:43 am

She needs nothing so it is always hard to figure out what to get for gifts.

9:44 am

I got my Mom a record player so that she can play all her old vinyl LPs.

9:44 am

my mrs first e-book reader was her salvation.with her degenerative eye disease,it had been ten years since she had last been able to read

9:44 am

thats a great idea

9:44 am

I guess its hard to learn all this new techie stuff.

9:45 am

She tells me she has no interest in computers although she has friends that have them. She is certainly smart enough but just doesnt have the desire.

9:46 am

I couldnt live without my computer

9:46 am

and my kids are even worse than me - they carry around their laptops everywhere. At least I am not that bad.

9:47 am

stats for the 8 please

9:50 am

but,lbd,next time you get the e-reader off of her,go to gutenber.org.you can load dozens of classics in munites and that will keep her going between purchaces

9:52 am

pe8,50

9:53 am

river, your mom is probably intimidated by the computer. i know, mine was, and refused to be even in the same room with one, al6 she'd peek over shoulders to see what was going on.

9:54 am

thanks for the al6 lbd

9:54 am

got the 8 - thanks Erda

9:55 am

thats NBT and NBS - will leave my last 37 for letter - must get to back to work now - have a great day all

9:55 am

YW, River

9:55 am

*later

9:59 am

when i bought a e-reader for my father i just opened it first and without registering it,wont to gutenberg and downloaded about 50 cassics,trolled through epubbud.com and found 30 or 40 title he would like,then culled 100 e pubs out of my own files,he likes historical non-fictions,so even though he hates computers,he will have years of reading

10:00 am

damn typos

10:02 am

yeah, how dare they...

WooT WooT WooT judy!

2:05 pm

wtg jill and judy and hi all

2:05 pm

escapes;escapades...same things right?

2:05 pm

hello lilliann! How is daughter and any word on rescheduling your holiday?

2:05 pm

I do have some narrow escapes

2:05 pm

hi lilliann!

2:08 pm

she is doing really well jill.still a bit battered and bruised and tired more than normal but that is to be expected. we met the lady and her husband today to hit her and we all hugged and had a good chat.it was just a tragic accident but noe hopefully something will be done to the road where the bairn and other children cross. there should be lights so the drivers can see them as they are all dressed in black uniforms.we are now going to mexico next week, which will be great to just relax.than ks for asking :)

2:08 pm

hi nrkii

2:09 pm

sounds like good news all around

2:10 pm

definitely nrkii.we wanted to meet her and her us and just let her know that there was no ill will and let her see how well the bairn is and to now get on with her life with her children and husband and not feel guilty anymore

2:11 pm

that is wonderfully generous of you

2:11 pm

who are your

2:12 pm

apparently there is a petition for a crossing, so we will see what comes of that.in the summer it's not so bad as cars and pedestrians can see eachother but in the winter when it is dark it is very difficult for both to see

2:12 pm

I had a woman treat me that way once, on a much smaller scale. I dropped a 12-pack of coke cans on her foot, and she filed an accident report at the store. They told her to sue me. She called me to tell me that she had no intention of suing me, and that I should not worry about it for one more minute. (She was outraged at the store for dealing with it that way.)

2:14 pm

wow, nrkii, not a decent way for a store to react to such situation

2:14 pm

Lilliann, very happy that things are going well now and you'll have a lovely holiday

2:14 pm

i don't know if it's generous. it happens.she just didn't see her.she wasn't speeding or drunk and at the end of the day she's been through hell too.

2:15 pm

Lilliann, it is my worst driving nightmare that I might hit someone some day.

2:15 pm

that's the problem with today's society nrkii, it's all about suing people and ambulance chasers!!

2:15 pm

It is nice that there are still good people on this planet. Also glad you will holiday in Mexico lilliann!!

2:15 pm

Well, must *poof* bbl

2:16 pm

i think we all feel like that nrkii, but if we think about it too much we'd never drive.the lady still hasn't driven yet but we told her she needs to get back in a car as soon as possible as it will only get worse as the time goes by

2:17 pm

bye jill.thanks hin.tc

2:17 pm

FW!

2:17 pm

ty flosey.we will :)

2:18 pm

Hello just starting. Today was hair cut day so I got a little morning outing. Very beautiful sunny day so far with high pressure and freezing temperatures.

hi stidgemere.glad you got out with nice weather :)

3:36 pm

hi gmere!

3:36 pm

found the en6/30, ty jess

3:37 pm

Hi lilliann. It is invigorating. Murphy, the dog, likes to go out to chace squirrels. He has no chance of catching one but he feels duty bound to make the effort.

3:37 pm

lol, gmere! We've gotten Sera to the point where she pretty much ignores the squirrels. Rabbits, on the other hand.....

3:37 pm

lol.well it keeps him active :)

3:38 pm

Hi uu. Best to you in this New Year. Tonight our orchestra group begins the new term. My grandson is taking classes at that time so cannot attend this time.

3:38 pm

Our rabbits seem to have gone into their burrows for the winter. We have not seen them for a couple of weeks.

3:38 pm

oh, too bad. music means a lot in my life, and I miss it when I can't do it

3:41 pm

I hope he can make some adjustment and attend some of the sessions. We'll see. Meanwhile we Babble on.

3:41 pm

hello Mother, Matthew and I will be over soon. He's out back playing with Lucky in the sun.

3:41 pm

It seems to be working.

5:56 pm

Good morning all :)

6:05 pm

Hi Liz, just back again, too many interruptions!

6:07 pm

hi flosey - hope all's well with you :)

6:08 pm

yes thanks Liz, back to just the 2 of us, daughter, sil and grandson just left at noon, they had been with us for 2 wonderful weeks, house is very quiet

6:09 pm

I hope the quiet house is a good thing! Guests are lovely but I know that we enjoy the peace and quiet afterwards

6:10 pm

it's nice, I believe there's a reason we are unable to have children past a certain age, time to enjoy grandchildren who come to visit

6:10 pm

hello all!

6:10 pm

Hi cos :)

6:10 pm

hi cos

6:11 pm

our landlord just gave us a couppon for free pizza.. the third time in less thn a week

6:11 pm

Yum! He must hate pizza!

6:11 pm

wow, great landlord, cos - seems to have been a good move?

6:11 pm

nah today was a reward for paying our rent a week before it was due. it helped that we signed the lease last week lol

6:11 pm

I want some free pizza.

6:12 pm

Or perhaps he thinks you look hungry!

6:12 pm

Or maybe he is a part owner of the pizza place?

6:12 pm

well move went well except the therm. is broken. it is like a furnace here and we have the a/c on and its 20 degrees out. still hotter than hot. theyre fixing it tomorrow. a/c is on, all windows is on. heat off., still very hot

6:12 pm

*windows open, not on lol

6:13 pm

So ice cream more necessary than pizza!

6:13 pm

but soon remedied, hope it's more comfortable then

6:14 pm

Hope they sort it early tomorrow :)

6:14 pm

its not that hot with the windows open. its just right. so its comfortable..

6:14 pm

not too early Liz ;)

6:14 pm

20 C is pleasant - it's 30 C here today!

6:15 pm

the cold front has seemed to leave us but its only the beginning of Jan *sigh*

6:15 pm

I would agree with not too early! Can't believe that workmen start here at 7.00 am! Now I'd've liked that when I was working in the UK - but not a hope!

6:15 pm

Anytime after 10am is fine ;)

6:16 pm

Mr. Stay Up All Night And Do The Grid needs his beauty sleep. : P

6:16 pm

Had to take time off work to get things fixed in UK - not a problem here. I'm with you on after 10 am!

6:16 pm

Leisurely start to a day is very good :)

6:17 pm

lol yes i do.. but i stop the grid at 11:30pm now to save for the next day ... so i just stay up all night and watch west wing on netflix :)

6:18 pm

That is a good show to stay up watching.

6:19 pm

Just finished the entire series of The Office, so moved onto West Wing. Netflix added it the day I finished Office. Perfect timing.

6:19 pm

la 5/18 please?

6:19 pm

I'm currently in the midst of a Grey's Anatomy marathon. : D

6:20 pm

Basketball shot. Dumb word.

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

6:21 pm

greys is on my list of the next 5 shows to do a marathon with. i tried brothers and sisters... not too bad.. gotta watch a few more to get into it.

6:22 pm

I loved Brothers & Sisters. It gets better in the second season.

6:22 pm

May I please have a clue for ca6-24? Thanks

6:22 pm

Haven't heard of Brothers and Sisters - I'll look out for it. Also doing ER at the moment!

6:23 pm

c + cancel a marriage is to *n**l it + vowel

6:23 pm

6:24 pm

Thanks much,

6:24 pm

cos. Sorry, hit the enter key too soon.

6:24 pm

I followed it through to the end but recently they started a rerun from the first series - I saw that so long ago that I'd not remembered too much of it!

6:27 pm

Have to think way back for that! Can see here but don't remember the name!

6:27 pm

Yeah I had a feeling it wasnt right...

6:27 pm

It's also a kind of alcohol.

6:28 pm

OK - and it's an alcohol

6:28 pm

6:42 pm

hi peri, have heard it used as a girl's name

6:42 pm

ok, looking

6:42 pm

Hi flosey. Diggory on sssi plays bridge

6:43 pm

Hello Diggory, do you play duplicate?

6:43 pm

don't see the an6 either

6:43 pm

an and do up your shoes

6:44 pm

tyvm flosey. was getting a headache looking for that one

6:44 pm

Friday afternoons but played with jillibus before Christmas

6:47 pm

6:48 pm

6:49 pm

can't remember who jill played with - that would be that night

6:50 pm

night of the Christmas prizes

6:50 pm

ty flosey

6:50 pm

yw peri

6:55 pm

18 left, bs

6:58 pm

diggory, can't remember, however, welcome to Babble

7:00 pm

That's right. We were last

7:00 pm

Hi flosey and all. Still have about half of the words to find. Unfriendly grid to me.

7:00 pm

hi gmere, good to see you

7:01 pm

I've found this grid same gmere, have been in and out, 11 to go

7:01 pm

Today is a good day for doing Babble and watching the gloaming gloam.

I've been finding this one tough, too. I'm a novice, though.

7:02 pm

hi frank, don't believe we've met?

7:03 pm

I'm getting better at this game, Frank C but some days are really difficult.

Hi, Flosey. I don't think we have met, but I've heard about you - good things, don't worry. I was Jesse's partner. He was Nancy Boy here, if you remember him at all. So there are a lot of familiar names to me here!

7:05 pm

oh yes, now I remember you frank, the name did ring a bell but couldn't place you

7:05 pm

Of course we remember Nancy Boy. Glad you are trying Babble.

7:05 pm

good to see you here, we certainly do remember dear Nancy Boy, such a lovely, dear young man

Well with this icon, I have a rather forgettable face :)

Ah, thank you both.

7:06 pm

lol, but please join and become a regular

7:07 pm

Lots of Babbler change their icons according to a theme. I always manage to slow down the chat and people naturally get upset and I get flustered and have to get Stidmama to fix things. So, my icon is my puppy, Murphy.

I'll have to see if I can keep up with the game! It's easy to look over somebody's shoulder and pick out a few words, but completing it for myself is pretty challenging!

7:08 pm

it'll come with time frank

7:09 pm

We set goals. Sometimes it is 100 words. Sometimes just leaving no tile blank (NTB), sometimes it is what you can do in 15 minutes. Nobody has to finish a grid.

7:10 pm

I've finally reached the time where I can just say, that's enough for this grid and walk away - but I did complete the 744! that was grim determination

7:11 pm

and quite a challenge - certainly didn't do much else that day

7:11 pm

Being able to walk away is the sign of a STRONG Babbler. Many are not happy with unfinished grids. Speaking of which, I need two more words for 100 so excuse me while I do those and then fix dinner. Best wishes to all.

That's a good idea. I can be a bit competitive, so I need to try not to compete with myself!

7:11 pm

Hi folks. I only have 46 words so far.

7:11 pm

hi bichon

7:13 pm

I need to get moving here

7:20 pm

4 to go, my online partner is looking for a game of bridge, bbl

7:21 pm

diggory and Frank , hope to see you again

Thank you, Flosey :) take care

7:31 pm

anyone able to clue the an 6?

7:33 pm

Ruru...just like en6, un6, and re6.

7:34 pm

thank you jee

7:34 pm

You are welcome...did you get it?

7:35 pm

yes... right away

7:40 pm

Good Evening Everybody. How are you all this brisk and cold evening?

7:40 pm

hi nef.. fine ..how are you

7:40 pm

doing well; ruru staying inside and warm tonight :-)

7:41 pm

I'm trying to wrap up this bad boy

7:42 pm

I'm just starting; it sounds like a tough grid by what you said?

7:42 pm

seems to be

7:43 pm

darn! I should have started earlier then...

7:44 pm

Over abundance of freaky words.

7:44 pm

hi Molly. How are you tonight?

7:46 pm

Not bad Nef, and you?

7:46 pm

la 6/18 help please?

7:46 pm

scrolling down in chat; I see that frank c. is here. I hope you like playing, frank.

7:46 pm

doing okay, Molly

7:46 pm

sorry, ruru, I don't have it but will look

7:47 pm

la + short for Mr. Hawthorn

7:47 pm

thank you

7:47 pm

You are most welcome.

7:49 pm

it is kind of a freaky grid

7:49 pm

lots of babblets?

7:50 pm

not entirely.. just some words really well hidden

7:51 pm

evening all!

7:51 pm

so I guess a yantl isn't a male yentl, then?

7:52 pm

Just a lot of weird words. I can't bring myself to use the B word as it is so over used here.

7:52 pm

hi dan2! I tried that too!

7:55 pm

No such thing as a yantl, you meshuggenah : P

7:56 pm

well the th 5./18 sure isn't normal or a babblet

7:57 pm

I had to look up definitions for way too many words today.

7:57 pm

sadly, I don't know any Yiddish; so I'll pretend you called me beautiful, Molly! ;-)

7:57 pm

I was teasing 2Bit Nef. : D

7:57 pm

hi all, back to find my last 18

7:58 pm

/me plotzes

7:58 pm

the yu 5/18 isn't a normal word or a babblet either

8:01 pm

Like I said, an abundance of weird words.

8:02 pm

op6 pls

8:02 pm

Hi again - back to find some more weird words :)

8:02 pm

If a gay person comes out, they are then op6 gay.

3 cat beds that are soft and warm and the cat is currently IN the waste paper basket, sigh

8:05 pm

I'm not sure the come out thing is PC anymore Molly

8:05 pm

thank you Molly. I tried it already but it didn't work; now it did. (I think sometimes the game won't let me play some words too early or something)

8:06 pm

I live under a rock. I have no idea what is politically correct and mostly don't care.

8:06 pm

HA

8:07 pm

I live one hour North of PC -ville

8:07 pm

... Berkeley

8:07 pm

even the Movie theaters are PC

8:08 pm

It used to be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and in Berkeley it is " A woman of no Color and 7 Vertically Challenged individuals"

8:08 pm

FW bye for now

8:08 pm

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

8:08 pm

Congrats Peri :)

8:08 pm

Molly---love the new icon. Mine is new as well.

8:09 pm

bye peri

8:09 pm

YAY, peri!! WTG!!!

thanks ruru. i needed a laugh tonight :)

8:10 pm

:D GE

8:11 pm

Am sending your joke to my godson---he graduated from Berkeley.

8:12 pm

I've also been told it's inappropriate to refer to my southern neighbors as rednecks. They prefer "necks of color"

8:13 pm

real rednecks don't give a flying flip about all that PC stuff

8:18 pm

Hello to myfellow babblers! How is everybody doing today?

8:18 pm

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

8:19 pm

hi Min. How are you tonight?

8:20 pm

you won't find any red necks in Berkeley eieieos

8:21 pm

maybe one or two. Berkeley's a pretty diverse place

8:21 pm

you haven't been there lately bichon

8:22 pm

do visit the Bay Area often

8:22 pm

Berkeley is it's own country nowadays

8:23 pm

Hello Nef! I am well. I am saving my last word for later on.

8:23 pm

there are parts of austin that probably come close. lol

8:23 pm

That's what some Berkeleyites would like to think

8:24 pm

it's actually really sad.. used to be a nice place to go... now it's sort of dirty, grungy, un-friendly, and weird

8:24 pm

<---you can tell I'll not be moving there soon

8:25 pm

and all the cars only turn to the left in Berkeley

8:26 pm

a lot of people have to go around the block to get to where they're going

8:26 pm

:D :D :D :D :D :D

8:26 pm

Bah dum ching

8:26 pm

I'll shut up now

8:27 pm

It's like a zen question...does a bird with only a left wing fly around in circles?

8:28 pm

wow.. Molly.. that's deep...

8:28 pm

there are some very nice areas in Berkeley. I love the Monteray Market

8:28 pm

yes.. the Monterey market is nice.. but I wish one thing

8:29 pm

they wouldn't Zucchini ... Phallic squash

8:29 pm

wouldn't call

No it hops

8:35 pm

ruru, did you know that UPS trucks can never turn left? Company rules. I guess left turns use more gas and cause more accidents than anything else....

8:35 pm

(for thier drivers when they studied it)

8:37 pm

8:38 pm

The pe8/50 is as *** your request + me 5/12 word majmom

Hello herinfernallady! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:48 pm

Wow, min, Jack Hanna is only 66? He looks much older to me (of course that may have something to do with my own age...)

8:51 pm

hi, herin!

8:52 pm

I op4/5ed up Babble website la4/4 this afternoon.I was el 5/10d to see that grid was not too big and not too pu 4/8.I ho4/5d in on grid and found most of the words.Th 4/5 I had to re 4/6 on a list to get most of my words. Al 5/12ough I'm not done yet, I on4/6 have one word left. Now here is a story of clues to help you hu4/6 for words I do not cl 5/12 my house very often. I am ha 5/14ed at the thought of cl 5/12ing. I ca 4/5 bring myself to do it once a week like I should. I hate doing it so I do a big cl 7/40 twice a year. This drives hubby crazy because he is extremely an 5/10 about having an immaculate house. When I finally do cl 5/12, he checks afterward to make sure I vacuumed undernea4/5 the beds and couches. It puts a smile on his fa 4/7 if my cl 5/12ing job meets his standards. Hubby, who's pe4/6anently op 6/27 opposed to Babble, wants computer. If I do not give it to him, he will become very me 4/5. I am going to le 4/5 into bed and watch Nicole Kidman in the film Dead Ca 4/6. I ho 4/5 you have found more words with my story.Goodnite

8:56 pm

thanks for the story, min. I hope you'll sleep well!

10:04 pm

Just watching tv..., I can hang for awhile...how are you and how has 2013 treated you so far?

10:05 pm

so far, very well. I have done nothing but sleep and eat this year hahaha

10:05 pm

how about you?

10:06 pm

LOL, well, my work load has significantly decreased. I guess no one wants procedures during the holidays! Have been enjoying #1 son being home for awhile!

10:07 pm

it is always fun to have son's home for the holidays. None of mine come to me because I live too far away but I go to where they are cos they are close together. I love my boys

10:08 pm

can you offer a clue for the ha 5, 16 please? I am blind

10:09 pm

Me too, both my boys live on the east coast, but #1 is in college and can come home for break. Makes up for the years he was in the Coast Guard and missed many holidays.

10:09 pm

add a double hump consonant to the ha4/6(to carry away)

10:10 pm

that is another stupid word.............. heavy sigh

10:11 pm

this grid is full of them...

10:11 pm

th5 was really odd for sure

10:11 pm

this one is a clump of hops...where ever does enable find these...

10:12 pm

and the th5 refers to a part of the hand that connects to the thumb...

10:12 pm

I wish it would stay away from the scientific words and just try to increase my vocabulary

10:13 pm

Like one would ever use these in a sentence!

10:13 pm

when I looked it up it was a tree....

10:13 pm

whoops, I was thinking of the th6, not the 5...

10:14 pm

oh yes, it was dumb too but I just extended the one it front and monkeys were ok with it

10:16 pm

LOL, some days those monkeys really get a workout!

10:18 pm

my monkeys do every day. I get as far as I can past 50% on my own, then list and then monkey. If all fails I ask for clues or use More Words for the last few.

10:18 pm

I asdmire those who can do this listless so much. Their vocabularies much be huge

10:19 pm

I use the list to get nbt, not listing, just giving me a fighting chance to monkey the nbt

10:19 pm

I have done a few listless, the really short ones at least...

10:20 pm

even the sort ones have stumped me by 1 or 2. I am waiting for the day when I can say I did it listless

10:21 pm

I have done one...but only one...

10:22 pm

good for you. I know it is not as easy as some of these guys say it is. I think they have exceptional memories and mine seems to be fading away

10:25 pm

clue for al 6 please?

10:26 pm

Actually a woman's name...al+*** end+first vowel

10:26 pm

nevermind. DOne

10:27 pm

11:46 pm

Hi all -- I've rented a Ford Focus but can't find the gizmo or button for popping the gas tank lid. I've studied the User Manual but can't find it there either. Anyone know where it is?

11:47 pm

ruru, we about to have a string of hot days, tonight's low is supposed to be 23deg. celsius...that's about 73deg fahrenheit.

11:47 pm

jilli, try on the floor, between the drivers seat and the door.

11:48 pm

There is no release, jilli...just press on the flap/door...

11:48 pm

73? that

11:48 pm

is perfect granny

11:48 pm

that isn't hot at all

11:48 pm

Google is useful sometimes...

11:48 pm

we get to 110 F here

11:48 pm

Actually, frequently...

11:49 pm

nah, not if there isn't a breeze with it...

11:49 pm

you just need to Focus jilli

11:49 pm

73 as a low is awesome... I would so much rather be hot than cold. But, that is just the SE TX in me.

11:50 pm

I have my heat set to 73.

11:50 pm

plus, you may have forgotten i have an internal combustion heater which keeps jacking my body temp. up....

11:50 pm

what?

11:50 pm

yeah well .. I have a heater too granny.. but it doesn't jack up my body

11:51 pm

i have a reaction to the metal which was used to fuse my ankle. i am febrile most days....makes for very uncomfortable.

11:52 pm

73 invictus wow.. that is too warm

11:52 pm

I can barely take 60

11:52 pm

what's the metal granny?

11:52 pm

have tried everything...anti-pyretics, anti-inflammatories...nothing makes a difference. i just keep on burning up.

11:53 pm

I don't want my feet to be cold.

11:53 pm

i think he used titanium.

11:53 pm

that's what men are for invictus

11:54 pm

lol, invictus, neither do i. if the metal gets cold, it takes foreverto warm up my left foot.

11:54 pm

My boyfriend would kill me if I touched him with my feet at night.

11:55 pm

hello all - hey rose my sympathy - also very hot here and Durban is very humid as well - very tiring and very grumpy making
