12:33 am

som people hold off on Lickety's list -- I don't, but I do try to hold off on morewords. Silly me.

12:33 am

Hey Jilli - it's whatever suits you!

12:33 am

But this looks pretty desperate...

it's always interesting to hear how different people attack a grid

12:34 am

Agree :)

12:43 am

It's a plural, jilli

12:43 am

people who pose for things jilli

12:43 am

de 9/72 = extension of de 6/27

12:44 am

think paintings

find de 6 first... one who does this is de 8 and then plural it (root = to portray)

12:44 am

ty - 4 words!

wtg

12:45 am

I've tried to find the de6 too via morewords -- guess I'm too tired. I have the little de4/6 before it, but...

to portray a character; represent a painting

12:46 am

de + take a ****ure with a camera

12:46 am

Jilli, how are you on medieval celtic races - de + that race of people

12:59 am

* sigh * and off they go....really, you both are naughty. i'll have to put you in the naughty corner. *giggle*

1:00 am

*wonders what the Emblem on his chest would look like*

How was I being naughty? Huh? You've totally lost me there, Rose.

The emblem on whose chest?

1:01 am

*innocently whistling* a lady-finger banana

I was just referring to me looking up at the sky... on the Carmel beach. Really.

1:02 am

1:04 am

brain, heart, kidneys....

1:04 am

ROFL

halfway

1:05 am

:)

Just looked at chat, what's with the "organ recital"?

Huh?

1:06 am

Granny is just getting organ-ized

1:06 am

trust me melon....don't go there!

I just looked at it again too, after being buried in the grid... and why does my halo need adjusting, Rose? I'm the only one who wasn't being naughty. Apparently.

granny, and I quote, "brain, heart, kidneys"

1:06 am

haha, ruru

But the question is... what halo?

1:07 am

haha

Oh. I need to catch up.

to say nothing of nibbles and bits which sounds like a randy horseback ride...

1:07 am

melon, i was being facetious when i listed that

Wouldn't want me to trip? Hey. I SAW THAT.

1:07 am

rofl, Neil

What are you looking at in your photo Neil?

And yes jilli... sure, I was. Seriously.

1:08 am

Granny and Don play Toll BRidge all the time

or is that how this all got started. You look so——so——happy.

Some birds, melon... trying to figure out what they were.

1:08 am

Neil,well i did think of saying to let you spin on it....but i am so kind, i didn't.

Who looks "so——so——happy", melon?

Oh, now I feel all caught up. Were you by the shore?

WHAT, Rose?

Huh?

1:09 am

maybe you need to refresh neil.. :D

1:09 am

spin on your halo, Neil

1:09 am

you know, like a hula hoop?

Yes, melon. That was on my birthday weekend when we stayed in a yurt in Big Sur. We drove to Carmel and had a walk on the beach, then lunch there.

1:10 am

carmel is soo cute.. where'd you eat lunch?

Sounds lovely. Gulls, perhaps?

Did you see any whales?

Ok, Rose? And you're not logged in but that seems to just not happen anymore.

No, melon.

1:11 am

did the birds have any red or orange on them neil?

1:11 am

I think that's the first conversational use of the word yurt I have witnessed!

1:13 am

my ex-garderner lives in a yurt here on Salt Spring Island, as do several other latter-day hippie types

Camera on a timer.

Thanks jilli.

I said hi to you a while ago, Marmar! And "LTNS".

2:42 am

Yes, Neil, I just saw, HI!

Hi. :)

2:42 am

Hi Neil

2:43 am

NBT

How have you been, Marmar and Glant?

2:44 am

good morning all!

2:44 am

mornming sprite

2:44 am

hi sprite

2:45 am

hey flosey, Glant :) How's the grid today?

2:45 am

not bad Sprite

2:46 am

28 to go but think I'll head off to bed, goodnight all

2:46 am

on a bit of a roller coaster Neil - went to Cyprus to visit daughter and family for 8 days, got back to find mother had undergone her hip replacement surgery without telling anybody, was at home, not doing very well and needed help. Dropped life and drove through the night as heavy snow was forecast and my little sports car doesn't like that.

2:46 am

thanks, that is good to hear. I can do with a nice grid today.

2:46 am

been here for 3 days now caring for mum. she's improving

2:46 am

wow Glant... that is pretty intense.

2:47 am

it was a bit of a shock

Oh no, Glant. :( Sorry to hear that! Hope she'll be ok? How could she not tell anyone?!

Yeah, no kidding!

I've heard/read you've been getting a good dumping of snow over there. What's it like now?

2:48 am

i think she diodn't want me to cancel or cut short my trip, and thought that i might find out by facebook comments, so she didn't say a word. also there are family members who mighht have decided to come and 'help', whose help would have been more stressful than supportive, so she thought if she told nobody she wouldn;t have to get around that issue eiuther

Yeah, but she shouldn't be alone after having surgery that serious. That's nuts. :(

You need someone with you... even a younger person would after just coming through that.

2:49 am

i got here before the snow - she lives on the coast and we've only had a couple of inches here, most of which hjas melted. I think my house is under an 8 inch blanket thouigh :-)

2:49 am

aw, poor lady. Too considerate by far. She should allow herself to think a little bit more of herself.

2:50 am

my brother came for the first 24 hours, he cared for her when she was delerious foprm the meds :-D and i am just acting as slave, mostly :-D

Just hope she'll be ok, Glant. She's not alone now, obviously?

Oh, you're there now?

2:50 am

she wonders where I get my independence form !

Haha, yeah.

2:50 am

:)

2:52 am

I am with her until Tuesday morning - have to go to work 100 miles away for 3 days, then will be back thursday evening. I am arranging for her friends to call and keep her company and do small things for her over those days. she's doing pretty well for a 78 year old but the hip pain has been masking knee pain (she needs a new knee) and she has to sleep on her back at present, which maked#s her knee hurt more

2:52 am

I'm totally distracted here with dog, kids, man and breakfast. Better if I check out for now. Have an amazing day friends!

2:52 am

bye Marmar, have a good one :)

2:53 am

i bought a multi position sun lounger yetsreday in the hope she might be able to sleep in that and whilst not ideal, it's better than upright in a chair or hurting in a bed

2:53 am

bye maramr

2:53 am

once she can sleep better, she will heal up faster.

2:53 am

she's asleep at the moment, so I thought I'd babble a bit LOL

Oh that's a good idea, Glant.

Good... glad she's comfortable enough to sleep.

2:54 am

that's my feeling too sprite, sleep is nature's healer

2:54 am

lol Glant... gotta steal the you-time where you can find some!

Oh btw, your email address on profile doesn't exist, Glant.

Just thought I'd let you know.

2:55 am

it dies Neil, i use ti daily and read some emails about 20 minutes ago

I tried to send you a joke to that address a long time ago and got a message telling me that.

2:55 am

*does

Well no, Glant... I just tried a test message to it again and got this response: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: digondda@gmail.com Technical details of permanent failure: The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.

2:55 am

perhaps you typed it wrong? it is a a welsh word

2:55 am

it's adigondda@

So there must be some little error in it.

Well no, because I didn't type it at all. I copied and pasted it from your profile. Look closely at the error message... it's spelled right, isn't i t?

Ok, it isn't that on your profile.

2:56 am

profile says adigondda@

2:56 am

i just checked

Check again, Glant:

and my email is digondda...at...gmail.com

I just copied and pasted that from your profile and it has no "a" on the beginning there.

That's why it didn't work for me.

2:58 am

Hello everyone. Glant - you must have dropped the a in your Bio where you write the text

2:58 am

hi lyn :) xxx

Yep. That's what happened.

2:58 am

ah, sorry Neil, I was looking at my account details and it was right there, i have now amended bio

Anyway Glant, I finally forwarded that joke to you... check your gmail for it because you will laugh!

2:59 am

hi lyn

That's one of the best ones I've ever been sent.

3:00 am

hi Glant - in the middle of watching The Story of Wales Part 3

3:00 am

hm, no sidhe.

3:01 am

isn't it sadhe

3:01 am

story of wales features many of my workplaces :-)

3:01 am

it was a good series

3:01 am

joke was funny neil, must forward to my mum :-)

3:02 am

not sure, lyn. Am thinking of the duine sidhe... irish name for the fairies etc.

3:03 am

sadhe is a jewish letter

3:04 am

so sidhe is not valid and sadhe is a phantom. Lol.

3:04 am

seriph isn't valid either and i thoughtit was an alt sp for serif

Yes, 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

3:05 am

would work for me, Glant

Yeah Glant... that one really made me laugh.

But I must join my more sensible better half in slumber now... so good night and take care. :)

3:06 am

night neil

3:08 am

enable doesn't strim

3:09 am

morning all. today's phantom is today tryst. But one would hold the latter in the xy4

3:09 am

brits strim their lawn edges every summer :-)

3:09 am

morning scouser

3:09 am

hiya scouser :) Yeah, no tryst. And no coitus either.

3:10 am

I think strim should be allowed too.

3:10 am

ha sprite. but the anagram of your name is !

3:11 am

true! As usual, I am a mess ;)

3:11 am

*runs off to look for anagram*

3:12 am

oh, already had it

3:12 am

aw :(

3:12 am

oh well done sprite

3:13 am

but looking helped me find the white stomach lining

3:13 am

lol... well done on being a mess!

3:13 am

ah ok Glant, at least something for your trouble

3:19 am

finally found the 9 for NBS

3:19 am

good job, Glant! As usual, I am at 2/3 and still no biggies. But they will come, near the end, as usual too, lol.

3:20 am

weirdly enough so did I just now

3:20 am

am at 93

3:20 am

wtg lyn :) Is it a 'normal' word or a weirdy?

3:21 am

once you get the de6 and you know there's an 8 & 9, it's easy :-)

3:21 am

normal but not used often

3:21 am

ok... thanks, got them

3:22 am

phantom demote

3:22 am

I keep wanting to use that E twice in a word as well!

3:22 am

mine, even though it wouldn't be accepted, methodist

3:23 am

oh good one!

3:24 am

onomatopee is stretching it, isn't it?

3:25 am

nice

3:25 am

ROFL

3:26 am

:)

3:27 am

a charming pi7/8

3:28 am

thanks lyn

3:28 am

*scratched head*

3:29 am

ends like my last phantom, Glant ;)

3:29 am

extend the lace trim pi6

3:30 am

ty - didn;t have the lace trim, but have found all now

3:30 am

or pi and a babies bed

3:31 am

yay Glant :)

3:31 am

frilly carnation

3:33 am

bottom line greyed out, 108 down, and off for breakfast!

3:33 am

bbl, have fun all

3:34 am

enjoy breakfast, Glant, and my best wishes to your mum. May she sleep more easily and heal up fast.

3:34 am

bye Glant

3:36 am

and another lovely french word co7

3:37 am

hehehe yeah. They come together to make many little pi6.

3:37 am

i'm back, mum's still fast asleep in the lounger - wonderful - so I juts grabbed a coffee for now

3:38 am

ty for the co lyn

3:38 am

you are a kind and wise lady, Glant.

3:38 am

a good investment then Glant, good choice

3:38 am

yes, it wasn't cheap, but I can always use it in the garden, assuming we have a summer this year LOL

3:39 am

*orders a good, nice, pleasantly warm and sunny summer for us all*

3:39 am

and a good sleep is priceless

3:39 am

I know the UK health system is excellent but I am really surprised they let your Mum come home with no-one to look after her. They would not allow that here

3:40 am

here neither. But if she told them someone would take care of her, they might have taken her on her word?

3:40 am

though I guess she may have fibbed to them

3:50 am

who klnows what she told them? i am annoyed that no district nuyrse has called, and that they didn;t even give her a spare dressing for the wound - the hospital didn;t give her one

3:50 am

we had to send friends out to buy some yesterday

3:51 am

phone rang and woke mum

3:51 am

off for breakfast

3:51 am

ah darn, too bad about the phone. And no, that is not at all good, they should have given her a few spare dressings.

3:51 am

very odd Glant. Byee

3:51 am

enjoy breakfast :)

4:00 am

my new word for today is er7.

4:00 am

mine are the Xs

4:01 am

hm yes, especially the last one.

4:01 am

though I did use Morewords for those

4:02 am

I used a2z for the er7 :)

4:02 am

hematoma is another phantom

4:03 am

BBS - nice grid

4:04 am

it sure is. Bye for now, lyn, and have a peaceful evening. *hug*

4:19 am

Hello, sprite.

4:19 am

hi BabbleRabble, am glad to see you. How are you doing today?

4:21 am

Oh, perhaps challenging?

4:22 am

hello peeps

4:22 am

Hello, Rose

4:22 am

*sending you a ray of sunshine to use as a sword when you answer the challenge*

4:22 am

hi rose *hugs*

4:23 am

hey you all.

4:23 am

good morning

4:23 am

{{rose!!}}

4:23 am

hi ruby :)

4:23 am

{{sprite}}

4:23 am

{{{ruby}}} we connect!!!

4:23 am

Hello, ruby

4:23 am

hello BR

4:24 am

unbelievable! And this is a stolen few minutes; I'm pretending to be doing my paperwork

4:24 am

keep it up, dear friend. how are you?

4:24 am

freezing but trying to get some of this mess sorted out.

4:25 am

How are you doing at work with all that standing and shlepping? And is it still so hot in OZ?

4:25 am

wtg, ruby. keep at it, sweetie. you will triumph.

4:25 am

fires too

4:26 am

yeah, still quite warm. have made our plans to visit tasmania. watching the fire site very carefully.

4:26 am

I'm surprised that Tasmania is OK enough to visit

4:27 am

for once, peeps, melbourne not in the fire line. but having said that....

4:27 am

be careful for the devils.

4:27 am

it is sad about the devils; they are dying off from some awful fungul(I think) disease and there are very few left from what I read

4:27 am

don and i went out for a drive, and if the local fire brigades don't pick up th5 acts, we may have a repitition of ash wednesday

4:28 am

so sorry to hear that

4:28 am

ruby, fires in tasmania are mostly in the peninsula where port arthur is....we plan on seeing the east coast after 3 days in hobart.

4:29 am

sprite, there is so much dried, dead grass in the area. it's really scarey.

4:30 am

I can imagine. Take care, rose... we need you! I won't say fireflies... I will say firefighterflies today.

4:31 am

great word, sprite!

4:31 am

*grin* yeah sprite!!

4:33 am

A friend at the psyche site I go to took her life last night.

4:33 am

must love and leave you, I have go get dressed. We are going to visit friends a ways off and snow is expected, so we go a bit earlier.

4:33 am

ruby, am ever so pleased that the calendar arrived so quickly.

4:33 am

Oh BabbleRabble... oh no. I am so sorry.

4:34 am

that is awful, br! Did she give any hints of her plans?

4:34 am

BR, what a downer....it is so sad when that happens...you are left wondering if there was something you could have said/done.

4:34 am

I am so sorry for your loss BabRab

4:35 am

rose, a piece of mail from the US took almost a month to get here. Go figure!

4:35 am

She said she felt helpless.

4:35 am

{{lynxx}}

4:35 am

bye Sprite

4:35 am

Hi Rose and Ruby

4:35 am

hey lyn....ruby, i was told it would be 3-4 weeks.

4:36 am

sprite, travel safely

4:36 am

mail here is completely unreliable

4:36 am

melbourne ooks so beautiful!

4:36 am

even looks*

4:37 am

will do. Will think of you, BabbleRabble. Makes one feel so very sad, doesn't it.

4:37 am

thanx ruby...it does hold a special place in my heart.

4:37 am

and now, in mine!

4:38 am

one day, dearest of friends....

4:38 am

Ruby, on the news the other day they were saying how they have been successful in breeding some Tassy devils without the facial tumour issues and they are now assessing overseas zoos that they can send them to to ensure the breeds survival

4:39 am

all true, lyn. don and i saw them last year when we went over.

4:39 am

that is very good news, lynxx. I follow those stories about animal (and insect) collapses with great interest. Have you read about the "white nose fungus" in American bats and the bee colony collapses?

4:40 am

I have to go. Lovely to see you, my friends, will be back after lunch

4:40 am

i probably won't be here. stay well and safe, ruby

4:41 am

bye Ruby.

4:41 am

{{xx rose}}

4:41 am

bye lynxx

4:41 am

{{BR}}

4:44 am

I might get going to. Bye Rose. Bye BabRab - again sorry for your loss, I know it hurts

4:45 am

night lyn. same here, hun. see you all at the flip.

5:48 am

I've had a harrowing night so I'm up at 4:45 am. One of my cats scooted out the door and I've been looking for him for 4 hours....thought I was going to have another heart attack. He's back home now but it was terrible....the police actually came to help! I'm shaking now...decompressing. I love my babies and this one also has a seizure disorder so I was doubly scared. Calm me down, please!!

6:05 am

OMG mimi!!!!

6:06 am

I am probably too late to offer comfort

6:06 am

Oh, no....it was just resolved about 15 minutes ago. I'm still in the process of falling apart.

6:07 am

I sent an em to your inbox, too.

6:07 am

when our Cleo died, when she was not quite 2, I was the one who found her, frozen stiff under the hedge. It was horrifying and I know exactly what you were going through.

6:07 am

6:08 am

Again, when Max, the autistic one, disappeared one night, we went absolutely crazy looking for him as we kne3w that, if he had gotten out of our yard, he could never find his way back.

6:08 am

{{big big hugs for MIMII}}

6:08 am

why this is repeating, I don't know. Perhaps it doubles my sympathies....

6:09 am

I just don't understand why he wouldn't come to me. When I finally located him under a car in our parking lot he was "speaking" to me but wouldn't come out even for his food which I brought and put by the car. He was really freaked out.

6:10 am

mimi, picture the same scene with 2 feet of snow!

6:12 am

Hi all :)

6:12 am

The reason he got out in the first place was because I had to call the police about neighbors AGAIN and was peeking out to look to see if the police were there. Dodger never tries to get out like that so it wasn't even in my mind. The police tried to help me find him but no luck. They stopped back by about an hour later and tried to help but I was afraid they're scare him out from under the car and then I wouldn't know where he was....which is exactly what happened the THIRD time they came but I was able to approach him slowly and calmly and get hold of him....he was surely exhausted by then...I know I was. It was cold enough out there at 45 degrees.

6:12 am

Sorry you've had such a stressful day Mimi :(

6:13 am

Hi, Liz...thanks, dear....Am having tea and trying to regroup. At least my baby is home safe again.

6:13 am

{{lizlin}}

{{lizlin}}

6:13 am

Hopefully the weekend will get better - in all ways. Look after yourself now your baby's home.

6:13 am

what we go through for our animals!

6:14 am

Hi Ruby. Just started reading "Everything is Illuminated@

6:15 am

I remember how we felt, when our dog used to get out. On one occasion, when he was very old, he was missing for several days and was found by the police on the other side of the city!!!!

6:15 am

I will be interested to see if you like it. I did, but my son hated it. They made a movie out of it and, again, my son (and the reviewers) thought it was awful but DH and I loved it

6:15 am

I'll let you know. Have only read what I suppose is the intro so far.

6:16 am

if you can imagine, Sacha Baron Cohen was in it, playing it straight!

6:16 am

I found myself reading it with an accent!

6:16 am

hahah

6:16 am

My cats are now the only love I get on a regular basis and they are my family. I had a cat years ago that I adored who got out just after I'd married and moved us from L.A. to Phoenix. She was gone 10 days and I thought I was going to die. One night I just decided to sit by the front door with the door open and wait to see if she came....AND SHE DID!! Walked right in. Amazing.

6:16 am

I can't imagine Sacha Baron Cohen playing anything straight! Just saw him in les Mis!

6:17 am

Are you kidding----HE was in les Mis?!!! What character did he play?

6:17 am

Oh Mimi! You do get unconditional love from animals but they don't understand how we feel when they go missing or get sick - yes I know that's stating the blooming obvious!

6:17 am

he's terrific in Hugo Cabret

6:18 am

He played the innkeeper, with Helena Bonham Carter as his wife

6:18 am

My claim to fame!!! I taught his cousin!

6:18 am

haven't seen Les Miz; don't know if it's out here

6:19 am

Saw it on Tuesday when step son and girlfriend were here.

6:19 am

Loved it!

6:19 am

Saw the original show in London many years ago.

6:19 am

Hugo Cabret is worth seeing; I thought it was magical, saw it 3 times, once, dubbed in French, the other 2 on TV with subtitles

6:19 am

That part is at least a funny one. OK, dears, I'm exhausted and am going to go lie down and watch a movie. Thanks for the support and I'll talk at ya later! ((hugs))

6:19 am

I'll look out for it.

6:20 am

{{mimi}}

6:20 am

Have a good day Mimi :)

6:21 am

How are things with you Ruby?

6:22 am

husband is in sort of free-fall rapid decline, mentally, but I'm OK, if tired

6:22 am

That's tough for you

6:22 am

and it looks like Miss Ruby will make it to 10 next Saturday. I'll give her chicken livers and caviar if she makes it!

6:23 am

Here's hoping. Double celebration - I become an aussie next Saturday!

6:23 am

maybe a birthday cake with chicken liver icing --- eew

6:23 am

yay for the 26th!

6:23 am

Bet she'd love it!!!

6:24 am

Piping chicken liver! Interesting concept!

6:24 am

I think people do it with hors d'oeuvres

6:25 am

Thinking about it, I think you're right. Remembering some trad Barmitzvahs I've been to!

6:25 am

yes, it looks lovely like that

6:26 am

I'm sure she'll love whatever little treats you have for her!

6:26 am

<-- sleepy, time for a siesta or at least a big read in front of the fire

6:26 am

You'll have to take pics as well.

6:26 am

{{lizlin}}

6:26 am

Enjoy the rest of your day :):)

6:26 am

I'll try to get a bow on her and take some pics

Scrabs left me a nice post...thank goodness.

8:36 am

hey that is one of my favorite movies too!

8:37 am

It is just so wonderful!!!! Makes me happy!!!!

8:37 am

wonder if Netflix has it?

8:37 am

And Julie Andrews is one my all time idols, so it makes it even better!

8:37 am

do you also like cold comfort farm and bringing up baby?

8:37 am

might have to check it out tonight

8:37 am

I would love to see what CGI could do with this movie if they remade it, but I don't want them to change anything else.

8:41 am

I agree car, I have mixed feeling about remakes

8:41 am

OK...hubby is switching my work computer system over, so I have to scoot. Have a great day everyone. {{hugs}} all around

8:41 am

bye car - hope your little guy is on the mend soon

8:41 am

Wow, did I have an awful night. One of my cats scooted out the door and ran so I spent over 4 hours looking for him and worrying. Finally found him under a car in our parking lot but it took nearly 2 hours to get him to come out. The police were actually here and helped. He's home now. I'm a wreck.

8:41 am

Bye car :) {hugs}

8:42 am

Unfortunately, I must go as well

8:42 am

MIMI :)

8:42 am

bye, smores and hi, mimi (what a night!)

8:43 am

{{smores}}

8:43 am

wow...sorry to hear about your ordeal...so glad your cat is back safe and sound

8:44 am

Hi. welk!! I was afraid I was going to have another heart attack....my heart was just racing. It was cold out there and he has always been an indoor cat.

8:44 am

I have to get ready for church, will email you later Mimi

8:44 am

years ago, we had one do the same - gone for two weeks!

8:44 am

Bye all, happy Babbling

8:45 am

Ok, dear...bye.

8:45 am

so glad you found him - horrible feeling

8:47 am

The police were actually here three times---twice for me and the cat! We have such wonderful police here in Phoenix....very professional and great attitudes. They were so very kind and understanding. The reason he got out in the first place was because I had to call the police AGAIN about partying neighbors who woke me at midnight. I can't stand thinking one of my babies is scared and cold....just can't take that in stride.

8:48 am

And this particular cat has a seizure disorder.

8:49 am

pi 5 which leads to the combination. I have a pi 5/14 and 6/24

8:49 am

why don't you make yourself a cup of something decaf and then have a nap? sounds like you're still pretty stressed

8:51 am

I've had a cup of tea and a cup of cocoa....yep...tried to lie down but no use. I'm great in a crisis but tend to shake and fall apart when it's over.....that's where I'm at now. I'm fine but definitely need to unwind.

8:51 am

Good Mornings Babblers. MimiCat, we do live in a great city - Phoenix. I also from Phoenix.

8:52 am

hi, christa

8:52 am

I'm from Sun City, burb of Phoenix. We have Sheriff Posse that assists the seniors in our community. They're wonderful

8:52 am

yes bichon that's it and you add a double vowel to the 5 to get the 7

8:53 am

Christa, I actually hate it here politically but the police are great....except for Arpaio...won't go into THAT. I've been here 30 years and keep waiting for Phoenix to mature and get some sophistication.

8:53 am

picot

8:53 am

oops

8:53 am

Hi Mub...glad you're happy with the Sun City posse.

8:53 am

that's the one I have

8:54 am

This is a terrific grid....such interesting and complex words....sure am glad especially this morning.

8:54 am

The posse actually recruits seniors within Sun City to be on the Posse, considered doing it but it requires commitment.

9:19 am

9:19 am

lol...bet you like oy6s too

9:20 am

hehe - whenever i've menationed clamato in the past, there was a resounding chorus about how gross it is

9:20 am

not me!

9:20 am

yes, yes i do, smores :)

9:20 am

:)

9:20 am

I like clams but not a fan of clamato

9:21 am

Well, my time is up...be back later

9:21 am

Happy Babbling all :)

9:21 am

9:22 am

Bye, smores.

9:23 am

hey all --- just starting. Looks friendly enough?

9:23 am

Yes, an interesting grid, I'd say.

9:23 am

hi Stiddy!

9:24 am

how goes the job?

9:25 am

hego, I am LOVING being the teacher in the same classroom day after day. Even with a group of kids that tends to be a bit boisterous, I find it easier than a different classroom of well-behaved kids every day. AND I am actually planning and delivering real content instead of just doing review and hoping I know what the teacher wanted. :-)

9:25 am

going to start breakfast - entering lurk mode :)

9:25 am

hello

9:26 am

Although I will be happy for the teacher when he returns, because the reason he is gone is very unhappy, I will be sad to leave the kids.

9:26 am

See! I said you would knock 'em dead.

9:26 am

hey MLF

9:26 am

Bye Welki

9:26 am

10:33 am

belgian

10:33 am

Good day to all. Just got off phone with my mother. Snowstorm is preventing me from driving to do her grocery shopping and take her out for dinner, so she is anxious and in a tizzy.

10:33 am

mmmmm....*wipes drool off screen*

10:33 am

Home fries, Crossy?

10:33 am

howdy scrabby.get your snow shoes and get over here! we got buried in snow last night and this morn

10:34 am

home fires are at the ready

10:34 am

fries

10:34 am

Wow, how much snow crossy?

10:34 am

a foot last night,and squalls with 90k winds off georgian bay all morning

10:35 am

Our Buffalo Sabres begin th5 season in an hour, so I will cheer them on, then I may snowshoe!

10:35 am

i am afraid to go look at the car

10:35 am

Wicked wind here overnight--roaring awoke me all night--and we lost power for a while.

10:35 am

your poor mum is a worry wart anyways,is she not scrabby?

10:36 am

My mother is plagued by anxiety and OCD.

10:36 am

my mil was like that,never happy unless micro managing some tempest in a teapot

10:37 am

me/ i can toss a hand full of dice in the air to decide what i am doing on any given day:)

10:37 am

Yep, she has great difficulty in being happy and being grateful for what she does have.

10:38 am

well as a devoted daughter i am sure you ease her mind

10:39 am

I am calm, rational, logical, analytical. Makes my drama-focused sister nuts.

10:40 am

Crossy, have computer question...my current router is the 'A" type and with the Win8 I need the newer "G"...for a person with better than average computer skills....would I dare try to do that myself?

10:42 am

Can you buy a new router?

10:42 am

does your mom live alone scrabs?

10:43 am

Oh yes scrabs, no problem there, just not sure if I'm up to the task of switching it out

10:44 am

And scrabs, my mother is a very negative type and I am afraid I limit my contact with her because of that...

10:44 am

Ruru, my Dad died unexpectedly last April. A sister lives a mile away, and 3 nephews are close too.

10:45 am

Jill, I switched from Linksys to Medialink router about a year ago. No problems.

10:45 am

Oh scrabs, she is still deep in mourning then...

10:45 am

Jill, I long ago finally accepted her limitations and I lowered my expectations.

10:46 am

hi folks

10:46 am

I have a very old Linksys....we are going to Missoula tomorrow so will look into Medialink. Nothing really rash for current problems...I just get kicked off a lot

10:47 am

I'm not sure I like Linksys..

10:47 am

This winter she has been fretting about how my father must be so cold in the grave, and she is very interested in reading about near-de5 experiences, to boost her comfort in a heavenly afterlife.

10:47 am

I have a lot of problems with mine

10:47 am

Hi Jane

10:47 am

I was having lots of problems with Linksys and settled on Medialink based on price and reviews.

10:47 am

oh.. jeez scrabs

10:48 am

And scrabs, I was always most like and closest to my father...so I have come to the conclusion that the good Lord wanted me to mend our relationship so He took my dad first....

10:48 am

hi all. need y word and x words please.

10:48 am

And scrabs, my mom does not believe in an afterlife...that actually can be pretty depressing..

10:49 am

After over 53 yrs of marriage the mourning is intense.

10:49 am

I am missing those too, mkg.

10:49 am

<---more concerned in before life

10:49 am

y word is yi 4 7

10:50 am

stric

10:50 am

Well said, Ruru!

10:50 am

(nice try)

10:50 am

sorry

10:50 am

Yes scrabs...that is why I mentioned deep in mourning. The first year is the hardest...

10:50 am

lookinh for yi

10:50 am

Or do you mean, before de5?

10:51 am

before de 5

10:51 am

death of a spouse is something that is always just under the surface........... it never goes away.

10:51 am

Oh, I found yi now, ty. Rhymes with feathered friend.

10:51 am

before de 5

10:51 am

<---likes to live each day as special...but still believes that all this love and relationship (including pets) will be renunited someday

10:51 am

ty got yi word.

10:51 am

yeltonjohn

10:52 am

any x word clues?

10:52 am

not that feathered friend I guess

10:53 am

same as oy 6, change first letter to x

10:53 am

sounds like the fluid filled pocket under skin

10:53 am

oh...and rhymes with the first part of sister

10:53 am

I don't believe in an afterlife Jilly.. but I am trying to live this one for all its worth

10:55 am

Rur, are you watching the Austrlian Open? Novak is losing right now!

10:55 am

nope.. but I am going to watch a lot of football today once I finish this thing

10:55 am

who is he losing to?

10:56 am

Hockey at 1230--our Buffalo Sabres start th5 season. This is a hockey town.

10:56 am

Wawrinka--another Eastern European, I believe.

10:56 am

How is your knee, Ru?

10:56 am

it won't last.. Novak is just too good

10:57 am

my knee sucks.. that's why I'm an atheist I can't kneel down to pray

10:57 am

I respect all beliefs ruru, but there is a part of me that see all life, love relationships as pure energy, karma or whatever, and I think it goes on. And with all the death I have experienced as a nurse; I truly know we all do have a soul, this body is just a container...

10:57 am

:D

10:57 am

Novak is only one set down. He is great at comebacks and 5-set matches.

10:58 am

di6/21 can not see it:(

10:58 am

any clues for the 9 or 8s?

10:58 am

<---nbt/nbs...

10:59 am

I have none, mkg....looking for you, andy.

10:59 am

Hm, do you know which D, andy?

10:59 am

ty. dont have di 6 either/. nor any of the x words. weird. 4 of them.

10:59 am

de8/9 combo follows the de6 "A portrait de****s a person."

11:00 am

X = grey now. WEIRD words!

11:00 am

Then add double vowel for the 8 and pl that for the 9

11:00 am

that's fine with me Jilly.. I appreciate that people have their beliefs.. I don't really know one way or the other..but all the Bible stuff sounds like hooey to me.. I do believe in Karma.. It could be that there is an afterlife... I don't know. I have lots of friends who are religious.. I understand it, and appreciate what many churches do as far as community goes and charities.. they do do important things. I'm disappointed only with the Catholic and Mormon Churches right now

11:01 am

xy4/11 rhymes with ovarian or ganglion c***.

11:01 am

ty got it.

11:01 am

add two letter ending to that xy 4. and it takes it.

11:01 am

Next 3 x words have same first 4 letters. xy6 rhymes with not your brother but your si****

11:02 am

xy5 -add a vowel; xy6--add 2 vowels

11:02 am

My scientific background makes me believe that energy etc doesn't just disappear. And I am really struggling right now with my Catholic faith..mostly due to gay issues.

11:02 am

ty scrabs!

11:03 am

I have become agnostic in the last few years after being a somewhat serious Catholic. I think it is good to wrestle with these issues as we experience life.

11:03 am

wow. got all 4. weird. ty. so xy 3, then a 5 and two 6s: one with two vowels and one with vowel and cons.

11:03 am

ty all cluers.

11:03 am

those o words for that left corner are eluding me too.

11:03 am

What about the way the Catholic church handles women? Doesn't that bother you.. you're a strong person?

11:04 am

Jill, I too have struggled with the corrupt aspects of the Catholic Church.

11:04 am

Yes, patriarchal, intolerant, wealthy (despite poverty in world)

11:05 am

the wealth of the catholic church is very upsetting to me. very.

11:05 am

I agree scrabs. My dilemma is that 1) for a church so blest with a social justice belief; how can they be so hard on gays and 2) have always felt that by staying in and hanging on that there might be enough of us to change the tide..

11:05 am

Yes, me too, mkg

11:05 am

nbt finally

11:05 am

doubt it jilly.

11:05 am

Go Jane, go!

11:05 am

I think they will just continue to lose members

11:06 am

LOL, speaking of church...how was Mass Jane, I thought we might cross paths this morning, but not...

11:06 am

you never know jilly, it will take another generation I think but it will happen

11:06 am

their numbers are declining rapidly.. due to the scandals and restrictive views.

11:06 am

any clues for the 9???????????? or the 8s???????

11:06 am

i'm going to Darby, so I have no report yet

11:06 am

were you at 7:30?

11:07 am

See mine at 1000 am mkg

11:07 am

Yes, I thought it was you, Jane and Laura at 9..

11:07 am

oh, we traded. it was cantante today

11:07 am

ahh...

11:07 am

(i hope)

11:08 am

I can list now.. finally

11:08 am

I forget, are you two sisters, Jane and Jill?

11:08 am

12:07 pm

football isn't on yet

12:09 pm

there's always "real" football, but DH doesn't like to watch it

12:09 pm

(that was a goad) lol

12:11 pm

soccer isn't football.. it's kickball

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

good afternoon all

12:14 pm

hello teach!

12:15 pm

agreed ruby

12:15 pm

SOccer is fun to watch though

12:15 pm

I love when they fall down and writhe in pain and nobody has been close. The fans whistle and it's very funny

12:16 pm

I love it, but only the international tournaments because there are just too many Fr games on and the players don't have their names on the shirts

12:16 pm

well.. any sport that has David Beckham as a star is suspect as far as I'm concerned

12:17 pm

have you ever seen his print ads? or are they too shocking for US publications

12:17 pm

I've seen the underwear ad.. grossed me out actually

12:18 pm

He and his whacko wife are nuts

On the other side of sanity: I just received an absolutely hateful email from something called "Voice of Freedom." It insists that everything about Sandy Hook is performed by actors; nothing happened; it's all a charade concocted in order to get the guns away from people...

4:21 pm

Dear, sweet Jerry. Care to share? (Simpering unashamedly)

4:22 pm

*surprised

4:22 pm

de9 is 72 points - people who show things in picture

4:23 pm

4:23 pm

Hi Lyn

4:36 pm

All the gay men I know are lovely. Which cannot be said for all the heterosexual men I know. And the bisexual ones are a mixed bunch :-)

4:36 pm

the bisexual men.. depends.. theres 2 kinds.. one is great ther other is like "run away!"

4:37 pm

lol...

4:37 pm

Should qualify my last remark..... I love being around gay men, but I prefer being in the company of straight men!!!!

4:37 pm

as i said, a mixed bunch :-)

4:37 pm

i think my son may be bisexual, but he's in denial LOL

4:38 pm

Here's a good one for ya....

4:38 pm

I think most teenagers are now bisexual.. the sexual freedom of the 60s seem to be coming back... from what Ive been seeing

4:38 pm

Viva la difference, Glan

4:38 pm

My 15yo best friends mother just asked if they were dating

4:38 pm

hi everyone

4:39 pm

it makes no difference to me what somebody's sexual preferences are. I've been neutered!

4:39 pm

Hi Welki

4:39 pm

Rofl Glan!

4:39 pm

Hey Welki

4:40 pm

it was hilarious, her mom apparently just walked in her room earlier and said " are you and Phylicia more then best friends?"

4:40 pm

ooo-=er, how did she answer

4:40 pm

your stoved chicken is similar to my chicken and rice, glant - love one pot meals

4:41 pm

me too welki

4:41 pm

she freaked out, she is very shy...

4:41 pm

so what pictures of which landmarks in DC do you all want to see from me?

4:41 pm

think i would have too, no matter what the answer!

4:41 pm

and she would ask because (1) teenagers are so forthcoming with that sort of info, (2) she doesn't have a decent enough relationship with her own daughter to discuss such a personal question?

4:42 pm

her mom added " I don't care, but you two shouldnt be sleeping in the same room if youre a couple"

4:43 pm

seriously. "i don't care," and then conditions

4:43 pm

i suppose it's better than dispowning her...

4:43 pm

*disowning

4:43 pm

maybe i'm reading this wrong - smores, she asked your daughter?

4:44 pm

no she asked her daughter...my daughter just told me this

4:44 pm

Anythings better than being disowned. I can attest to that personally.

4:44 pm

ohhhhh - i did read it incorrectly. delete, delete, delete

4:44 pm

{ Cos }

4:44 pm

so sorry to hear it cois

4:45 pm

sorrowful, cos

4:45 pm

she went on to say you know I love Phylicia, but if you 2 are dating she will have to start sleeping on the couch...lol

4:46 pm

but my parents apologized when i was 25... and now they love ryan

4:46 pm

hello all -- I ee you made it to DC, cos! Did all the alarms work at 5 am?

4:46 pm

hi, jilli

4:46 pm

YAY!! sorry you had to go through that, but glad it is all good now

4:46 pm

glad your parents came around cos

4:47 pm

so glad your parents saw the light, cos.

4:47 pm

Sheesh. As a mom of 3, if one of them told me they were gay , I'd support them, of course, but fret that life was going to be a lot trickier for them.

4:47 pm

it's kind of sad that she had that conversation - it may change the dynamic of their friendship

4:47 pm

well this was in 1994.... when it wasnt exactly universally accepted as it is now u know?

4:47 pm

at 7, pls and hi

4:48 pm

it's not accepted by all today, i have 3 gay frioends who have been dispowned by their parents

4:48 pm

a + want a drink of water

4:48 pm

a + needing a drink

4:48 pm

My daughter thinks it's hilarious...Bree, her best friend, was mortified and thinks her mom's a loon

4:48 pm

why does that p keep sneaking into my disowned?

4:48 pm

of course she thought that already...lol

4:49 pm

it's a sign.

4:49 pm

..... Of course this is Ireland. The calendars say 2013, but we could still be back in the '60's....

4:49 pm

Phylicia said she was gonna walk up and give Bree a big kiss next time she's over

4:49 pm

my computer obviously thinks i need a p LOL

4:49 pm

that's good, smores - at least the kids have a good sense of humor about it

4:49 pm

4:49 pm

your daughters name is Phylica?

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

What a zebra is , Cos....,

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

after my mother, Phylis

4:51 pm

nice! like clair from cosby show! i ve always liked that name

4:51 pm

very similar meaning to the st7 immediately before it cos

4:51 pm

I had a funny experience as a teenage girl -- I was visiting a fairly rich girlfriend and we were lounging on her big double bed talking about our boyfriends, when the maid walked in ad saw us. We chatted a bit and thought nothing of it. Months later my pal's parents went through a divorce, and the maid testified that she had caughttheir daughter and me in a lesbian situation!

4:51 pm

thanks! S'd done

4:51 pm

can anybody clue hi7?

4:51 pm

lol Jill

4:52 pm

which, of course had nothing to do with the divorce, but made for good fodder for the court documents

4:52 pm

lol....that is crazy

4:52 pm

well, i don;t think i can finish this grid before sleep time so I'm bailing out in the hope of gettiong some sleep - see you all tomorrow - and have a great time in DC Cos

4:52 pm

what people "see" and how they process/interpret what they see amazes me

4:53 pm

I think the maid was trying to make one of the parents look irresonsible for allowing such dreadful behavious. Remember, this was in the 1940s.

4:53 pm

*poof*

4:53 pm

g'night glantarell

4:53 pm

Bye Giant...sleep well

4:53 pm

4:54 pm

4:54 pm

so true welki...

4:54 pm

oh no. I woke up on my own at 445... well I think I woke up. I'm not sure if I slept or not. I know I shut my eyes but it didnt feel like I slept but the time went by fast...

4:55 pm

if that's the basis for someone's orientation, i have news to share with my husband :)

4:55 pm

well, I must go

4:55 pm

but did someone come to wake you anyway? I was afraid they might forget, or just knock on your door, which you woudn't hear.

4:56 pm

later, smores

4:56 pm

her friend just asked if I could come get her, she is spending the night....maybe I should keep an eye on them..lol

4:56 pm

bye smores

4:56 pm

not sure. i chained te door wen i went to shower. they may have come then ...

4:56 pm

i didnt want them to open the door if im walking around in nothing but a towel lol

4:57 pm

Good thinking, cos!

Congrats mixi :)

6:15 pm

WTG mixi !!!! :)

6:16 pm

baking some chicken breasts...little olive oil and cajun seasoning and a little sliced onion

6:17 pm

Love cajun seasoning! Often use it on chicken and fish. Fav chicken at the moment is with lemon garlic and rosemary, thanks to Jamie Oliver!

6:18 pm

mmm...sounds good Liz

6:18 pm

I'd forgotten about rosemary, haven't used it in years...maybe time to pick some up :)

6:19 pm

love lemon and garlic combo

6:19 pm

REcommend it! We grow rosemary

6:19 pm

it's also great with potatoes

6:20 pm

I've had is with roasted red potatoes

6:20 pm

Try googling his recipe

6:20 pm

We adapt it - don't often use a whole chicken.

6:21 pm

But love roasting potatoes, that've had lemon in the boiling water before - even if we do use spray oil!!!

6:21 pm

I will do that Liz..

6:22 pm

When you do, let me know how it works out!

6:22 pm

roasted potatoes, onion and baby carrots...mmmmm

6:23 pm

mmmmmmmm, indeed!

6:23 pm

make my own little version of gumbo/jambalya yesterday...turned out well

6:24 pm

Sounds good - but I don't eat shellfish.

6:24 pm

oh I love shrimp and crab

6:25 pm

It's fun being able to adapt recipes - love cooking but allow hubby to do most of it. That dates to when we first dated and he didn't think my meals were "proper meat and 3 veg" meals!

6:25 pm

lol...obviously the way to his heart wasn't through his stomach then ;)

6:26 pm

Just my charm!!!! LOL!!!

6:26 pm

;)

6:26 pm

We usually cook together when we're entertaining

6:26 pm

that's always nice

6:27 pm

And there are things that I cook that he loves!

6:27 pm

Surprised him on his birthday with lemon meringue pie - his all time fav dessert!

6:27 pm

mmm...nice

6:28 pm

Well my timer just went off...gotta go...be back to finish after dinner :)

6:28 pm

Bon appétit :)

6:29 pm

6:32 pm

Back on for a few minutes. Using my old laptop, so can stay on wifi better. Hello Sis, lizlin, smores

6:33 pm

Hi Jilly - sorry that you're still having problems with your new computer. Must be very frustrated!

6:33 pm

LOL, just need a newer router...

6:34 pm

Ah - not too difficult to fix then!

6:34 pm

hi jill!

6:34 pm

hello uusue

6:36 pm

uusue, you still both hanging in there OK?

6:38 pm

pretty much, Frank is tired and I have a cramp in my neck so we are both resting

6:39 pm

Not sure computer will be resting your neck..

6:39 pm

I am in bed with the laptop and a heating pad.

6:39 pm

Also a cat.

6:40 pm

Cat therapy always good...

6:40 pm

Sounds cosy Sue :) You know I think of you both - don't like to ask too often - would feel like I was driving you mad!

6:40 pm

I also took a muscle relaxant so will probably fall asleep soon :-)

6:40 pm

That's relaxing

6:44 pm

I am feeling better, just hoping the cat doesn't knock the laptop onto the floor :-)

6:45 pm

7:38 pm

Hello all, back from dinner to finish this grid...56 and counting

7:38 pm

Y'know what I find really annoying? It's when I see part of a word I know and dismiss it, and then find via morewords that it IS supposedly a word. Cf im5/16. Grrr. (It's the past tense of an archaic verb still used in falconry.)

7:38 pm

And WooT WooT WooT lizlin!!

7:38 pm

YAY Liz!!!

7:38 pm

Happens to me all the time, or I think of the word, cannot seem to find it (and don't enter it of course)...

7:39 pm

hi sis -- just about to get my second preprandial -- 51 to go.

7:40 pm

I have learned to enter words I thot I saw even if I can't find them by following the letters. Lots of times I did see the word but from a different area

7:40 pm

LOL...

7:40 pm

Can I please get a clue for st 6/27

7:40 pm

I guess at sometime I might learn that ;)

7:48 pm

Learned from my mistake ;)

7:49 pm

:)

7:51 pm

hello all, how's the grid today?

7:53 pm

Little less daunting than yesterday..lots of pl

7:54 pm

cold where you are, jilly? ;)

7:56 pm

Yes, but the sunshine helps. Plus Friday the wind broke through the high pressure and we got up to 59 degrees!

7:56 pm

How about you?

7:56 pm

oh well that is downright balmy! was asking b/c of your icon :)

7:57 pm

Has been cold for weeks, Friday was a nice fluke!

7:57 pm

fog here, so it feels colder than it is because of the dampness. Nasty.

7:58 pm

We had fog Wednesday and Thursday, that does make it much worse!

7:59 pm

Fog predicted again for tomorrow so I'm not driving through it in the dark for our usual Monday night duplicate bridge!

8:02 pm

What??? No 60 Minutes tonight??? A %&*@#$ football game instead?

8:02 pm

*hangs head* I'm watching the game....

8:04 pm

for shame. I can't think of another Sunday without 60 Minutes!

8:04 pm

You'll have it next weekend....if any consolation, my team is losing...

8:05 pm

Who the hell is playing?

8:06 pm

may the fleas of a camel infest their armpits

8:06 pm

hi everyone!

8:06 pm

hello lbd

8:07 pm

love your icon

8:08 pm

<---!!FW!!

8:08 pm

hi Jilli!

8:08 pm

whooo hoooo Jilly!!

8:08 pm

Hi dawg...Love your icon too!!

8:10 pm

Hi, everyone! I'm exhausted tonight and don't know why I'm not already asleep. Was up all night last night tracking down and trying to catch one of my cats who decided to scoot out the door and run. It took the better part of 5 hours to get him back and the police helped. I was especially worried about him because he has a seizure disorder. This was not the time to give up drinking!

8:12 pm

Give up drinking...whatchu talking about Willis?

8:12 pm

oh geez mimi, that sounds awful. so glad he is back with you.

8:12 pm

Exactly, Jilly!

8:13 pm

maybe you cud invent a GPS transmitter that fits on his collar.

8:13 pm

But I am so sorry about all that stress! Love my kitties so much, know what that must have been like.

8:13 pm

Thx, Leslie...I can't stand the thought of one of my babies being cold and scared....I spent from midnight to 5 basically searching the parking lot. When I found him under a car he wouldn't come out...that's when the police sort of helped.

8:14 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing today

8:14 pm

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

8:14 pm

i'm thinking manacles to keep him inside! oh dear, mimi. glad your wayward cat is home safe.

8:14 pm

*imagines cops saying 'come out with your paws up'

8:14 pm

Bugs, my cats are totally indoor cats and I'm very careful about opening the door...this was a total fluke. I honestly thought I was going to have another heart attack since my heart was racing.

8:14 pm

Hello minv!!

8:14 pm

hi Minverork

8:15 pm

love ur pic and the one of Monument Valley

8:15 pm

LOL, Jilly! They tried to use a snare but that just scared him out from under the car but I was able to catch him.

8:15 pm

Thanks, shorty!! This new one is Sunset at the North Pole.

8:15 pm

cats are very resilient and I have found that indoor cats never go very far away. They think they want to be out until they are

8:16 pm

That's true, he stayed close. But I was worried he'd have a seizure out there....he has really bad ones about twice a month.

8:16 pm

Yes, mine freak out if they 'escape'. And I know what you mean mimi, those little boogers can be awful sneaky.

8:17 pm

The reason the police were here in the first place was due to noisy neighbors AGAIN....getting really tired of apt. living.

8:18 pm

ha bug. "This sucks outside, no one even brings me dinner."

8:18 pm

The police were really nice and didn't make me feel like an idiot for having them help me....we have a great police dept. here in Phoenix. Have always been impressed by them.

8:19 pm

We had one rescued kitty I could actually hold the door open and she would have a look like "Ya, no thanks, been there, done that".

8:19 pm

I DID bring him dinner, Leslie, and he still didn't come out! I knew he was scared because when I'd talk to him he'd answer me with the most woeful sounding meow. Don't know why he wouldn't just come to me. Every stray in the complex did!

8:20 pm

I think the police wud always rather chase a cat and calm a lady than deal with nasties. Then they tease each other about who will write up the report......

8:20 pm

LOL...

8:20 pm

That's how the eldest of my three is, Jilly. His people had abandoned him at my old apt. complex and when he adopted me, I could tell he would never leave.

8:22 pm

Our one tuxedo cat is always trying to escape. It would really be a problem as he lives at defcom 5...

8:22 pm

If it wasn't so scary for me, it would have been comical...I left my apt. door open in case he ran back so he could get in and there I was chasing strays away. My other two were closed off in the bedroom. Not the way I enjoy spending midnight to 5 these days.

8:22 pm

I don't do midnight for any reason...LOL

8:23 pm

I think you will have an early night tonight and wudn't be surprised if all cats were on the bed with you

8:23 pm

My neighbor said she accidentally let out a kitten she was caring for and heard its tiny cries and found it hanging by its claws on the side of the brick building.

8:24 pm

They'd better be bugsaw!! After what mimi went through!!

8:24 pm

That's the weird part, Bugs....they are so very close to me...they take turns getting in my lap especially when I use the computer. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised...after all, I was really close to my kids, too, and they're now a disaster for me.

8:24 pm

Could I get a clue on the hi 7/36? I must be overlooking it

8:24 pm

((mimi))

8:25 pm

night everyone, going to watch Hugo Cabret. heard it was a good movie. see you tomorrow. and (((MIMI))

8:25 pm

Niters dawg!!

8:25 pm

Nite lbd.

8:26 pm

((Jilly)) Thanks, all, for being so supportive. You're my people! Night, dawg...I know rubyfoo recommended it. Let me know how you like it.

8:26 pm

It builds on the 4/5...

8:26 pm

Hello again all :)

8:27 pm

All will be well. All manner of things will be well. - Julian of Norwich

8:27 pm

<---trying to think of a clue...

8:27 pm

{{smores}} Getting sympathy for the cat incident.

8:27 pm

{Mimi} did you get a nap?

8:28 pm

Nope and I'm getting a bit punchy right now (not that anyone would be able to tell the difference).

8:28 pm

lol

8:28 pm

hi 7/36 = hi**orically a met**r has never lan*ded in my yard

8:28 pm

Am surrounded now by all three cats....especially my Dodger....think he's glad to be safe and sound.

8:29 pm

I got it Jilly. Thank you

8:29 pm

Didn't realize I was naming him so well!!!

8:29 pm

hi7 hi4/5 plus end of pain in the butt...lol

8:29 pm

Isn't the tale that cats name themselves?

8:30 pm

And you're welcome kyleteresa

8:30 pm

sorry...bit punchy myself :)

8:31 pm

IT's OK smores...I found the humor nice...

8:31 pm

My ex's name is Jeffrey...I call him Jeffroid :)

8:31 pm

He really did...even as a tiny baby (both he and his sister were strays) he had this personality...he talks back to me. He does the funniest thing I've ever heard a cat do. When he was little and I didn't want him to do something I would make the "eh" sound...and he'd make it right back at me! Now, all I have to do is say a stern "Dodger" and he goes "eh, eh." So funny.

8:31 pm

major pain in the ass :)

8:32 pm

Were we married to brothers, smores?!!

8:32 pm

LOL...we had a siamese who actually would meow 'hello'

8:33 pm

;)

8:33 pm

i didn't even know 4 x words existed

8:33 pm

any clues for the x words?

8:34 pm

lol..they all have same 1st 4 letters

8:34 pm

they all have the same first 4 lettes

8:34 pm

do you have the bivalve mollusk syb? if so, substitute the X in for the O for one, then remove the last two letters for the 4-letter one

8:34 pm

hey all

8:34 pm

do you have the oy6? change the 1st letter

8:34 pm

OK---I'm getting blurry-eyed....gonna go lie down and start watching a movie I really want to see so I'll fall asleep right away! Night, all. Hugs all around. {{smores and Jilly}}

8:35 pm

Niters mimi, hope you can be well rested this evening!

8:35 pm

later mimi

8:35 pm

That xy 4/11 word is xy plys abbreviation for a road and xy 6/39 word adds place where people go when they get hurt

8:35 pm

{{Mimi}} night dear....sleep well :)

8:35 pm

10:45 pm

my DIL phoned and we talked for hours I think

10:46 pm

Tussaud's. I went there in London when I was 8.

10:46 pm

Nice, bugs -- ?????

10:46 pm

anaother word for diaper

10:46 pm

oh yes. she is wonderful. We are so alike we spend a lot of time laffing

10:47 pm

Oh I saw the funniest thing near the white house tonight. There was a huge group of young men with romney shirts on chanting WE WANT MITT

10:47 pm

that's so great, bugs!

10:47 pm

hollow laughter, cos!

10:48 pm

she has been instrumental at helping my boys figure out why I did a lot of stuff. She is a mother too!

10:48 pm

not haha funny but pathetic funny

10:50 pm

there was a comdeian in England back in 1939-40 who used to say "Funny haha, funny peculiar, or funny damn silly?"

10:50 pm

I was reading an article and there is a tradition between both parties. Whoever's party wins the white house, the other side tends to leave town and let everyone have fun. so DC is pretty much full of Democrats. More so than ever :)

10:50 pm

I love this woman on cnn

10:51 pm

Jill Biden still teaches at a local community college and she does not tell her students who she is married to. I think that is amazing. So down to earth.

10:51 pm

guess the chanting Mitt group missed that memo

10:51 pm

which one, cos? Jill Biden?

10:51 pm

lol yes smores. and yes jill. Jill Biden :)

10:51 pm

She is gorgeous.

10:51 pm

10:52 pm

I kinda like Joe too

10:52 pm

Joe is like everyones favorite loveable but crazy uncle

Crazy old uncle Joe

10:54 pm

he seems to be a good balance for Obama

10:54 pm

hey bugs!!!!

10:55 pm

Hey stid!! good to see you!

10:55 pm

I have to leave CNN pretty soon for Downton Abbey!

10:55 pm

sorry I missed you, trying to clean out my email account a bit, managed to delete at least a couple things I didn't want to, but down below 2000 unread messages now.

10:55 pm

xylophone, bugs...

10:55 pm

10:55 pm

YAY bugs! (you did know xylophone, I bet)

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

I know, but you said "in English" *being particularly silly tonight*

10:56 pm

Oh good the parade isnt til 230. if i happen to oversleep (No alarm) I still can make the parade. I have vip tickets for that

10:56 pm

ooooh, mr la-de-dah VIP are we? *wonders if VIPs have a secret handshake*

10:57 pm

I have 3 extra parade tickets! I am saving one to frame with the other ticket I have

10:57 pm

email me stid if you want some tricks to help kids remember Grade 7 concepts. I am not sure what your curriculum is but I wud love to help if I cud.

10:58 pm

thanks bugs -- I am actually trying to bring them up to speed on 5th and 6th grade concepts at the moment. They are SO confused!

10:58 pm

Yay cos! sleep well and enjoy!

10:58 pm

wow cos, you are so lucky

10:58 pm

I have been playing with the Japanese method of multiplication.

10:58 pm

I will think about what I am trying to do and will let you know if that's okay?

10:58 pm

Enjoying how much you are enjoying your trip Cos

10:58 pm

is that the box with the diagonal lines?

10:59 pm

yes, cross the sticks and count the intersections

10:59 pm

I posted in on my FB page

11:00 pm

oh oh oh i saw something.. this one guy did experiments with huge numbers for the japanese algebra thing...

11:00 pm

it ewas amazing. im gonn ahave to find it when i get back home then post it

11:00 pm

some kids don't understand how multiplication is similar to addition and this solves that for them.

11:01 pm

my show is on so I am poofing. happy Babbling all

11:01 pm

I would love to see it, cos!

11:01 pm

algebraic thinking is very difficult for a lot of kids

11:01 pm

Finally finished pheww!!

11:02 pm

ok let me see if i can fin dit one second

11:02 pm

i know it son 9gag. com somewhere

11:02 pm

ooo...I would love to see that too...my oldest daughter struggles with math

11:03 pm

bugs, you can confirm if I am on the right track about one thing: it seems to me that one of the biggest stumbling blocks for students who struggle isn't really the concepts, it is remembering the terminology. So I have started a "vocabulary corner" for the kids, with the key terms and their definitions up on the wall.

11:03 pm

Has that been your experience as well? And do you have advice about how to help the kids map the concepts they DO know to terms they are learning?

11:05 pm

too tired tpo look ill look when i get back home promise

11:05 pm

remind me if i forget

11:06 pm

Finally, one of the things I have noticed as a tutor and as a teacher is that students really don't care to take the time to transfer what they know if a mathematical phrase looks "different" they either panic and revolt against doing it, or just stop and stare. Any ideas other than modeling it, talking them off the ceiling and reassuring them that it's okay to get confused because it gets easier with practice???

11:06 pm

okay cos, I can remind you next time I see you.

11:06 pm

i found something similar but the one i was thinking about had like 10 examples of huge numbers like 12345678 x 987654321 and confirmed it all

11:07 pm

yikes, cos!

11:08 pm

it was pretty cool. the problem with 9gag is if you dont bookmrark it it gets missing because thety post so many stuff per day

11:08 pm

that would be a hugely large number -- I don't think my calculator could handle it

11:08 pm

they used a Texas 1 calculator

11:08 pm

I haven't been to 9gag, but I have several sites I like that are similar in the the quantity, I can't visit them very often because I start to feel overwhelmed

11:10 pm

I usually use it on my phone when Im bored

11:15 pm

depay: to take back a salary...
