Sorry to hear that melon.

12:12 am

re 8

need bottom A for nbt. Is it an obvious word?

12:13 am

i need that A too for nbt

12:13 am

ap5/15

Kind of. ar6,24

Thanks Neil. Dad was 84 or so, ALZ. His decline was swift, not painful, and he knew us to the end. Kudos to my sister who made big and merciful decisions re: his care.

12:13 am

*14

Yeah. Still must be so hard to lose a parent though. Something I'm hoping is a long way off.

I have an ar6/24 but it is for the A above that.

12:15 am

ar6 is NOT for that A.

I'm old enough that is in the scheme of things. Losing my "baby" sister who didn't get to 40—that was horrible.

12:15 am

ap5/14 is the bottom a

must be a different ar6/24, not the "take a bow" so to speak (;

Oh man. That's horrible. So sorry!

time for lickety...

12:42 am

Oh, ok. My mistake... thought you said you had some on there. Must have mixed you and someone else up. Been a long day and I'm tired.

12:43 am

hi jili! Feeling any better?

1:07 am

Yes, thanks, dee :-)

great to hear

1:08 am

JIlli, I click on my page to the left on the word puzzle and then it lets you pick, your own puzzles or other users etc.

1:10 am

crashing - last 30 tomorrow :) Goodnight, all

nite nan

1:11 am

ganite all

1:13 am

scrambler, what I'm trying to do is look up other players' profiles. It used to be possible to enter a name and the profile would show up. I don't see that option now.

1:13 am

Oh darn, she's left

1:15 am

Hi jilli. I think that option left when the site was reorganized

1:16 am

hey up everyone. i'm ho-ome...

1:16 am

thanks, bugs -- that's a shame! I'll write to the guys about that.

1:16 am

Hi gran!!!

How was your work day?

1:18 am

gnight bugs -- I'm going soon.

1:20 am

busy, dee. i must say he pain-away cream is working a treat. didn't require analgesia until i arrived home. ;)

1:21 am

night, bugs...hope you sleep well

You have no idea how great I think that sounds! So very excited for you! You must feel like a brand new woman!

1:23 am

dee, am buzzing around the unit like i don't know what. and now....i am on genuine annual leave....with no surgery in sight...just a leisurely 3 weeks.

fabulous

did your bank get your problem all sorted?

1:24 am

lol, am off to tasmania. for 12 days and 13 nights...we are so looking forward to it. don is exhausted....

Have you ever been there before?

1:25 am

ah, yes, thanx for asking. all monies re-instituted. not going to make THAT mistake again

so thankful for that. What a mess!

1:26 am

hi rose, dee

1:26 am

dee, we went last february. did across the top, down the western tiers, hobart briefly before we saw port arthur, and came home.

1:26 am

hello again jilli...sleep not happening

1:26 am

hey smores

hi smores!

You must have enjoyed the country to return?

1:28 am

hi smores -- sleep is happening to me -- goodnight all...*poof

1:28 am

:) night jilli

nite jili sleep well

1:29 am

dee, that was only half of the island. we are hoping to access much more this time. ( but not flinders island. that is a trip on it's own)

How long does it take for you to get there?

1:29 am

my dearest jilli. do so hope you sleep well. see you tomorrow.

1:30 am

just read back, wow rose, so happy for you :)

1:31 am

dee, it's an overnight voyage on the ferry. we have booked a cabin, and we are taking our own car. some peeps stay up most of the night, sleeping in designated armchairs.

1:32 am

when are you leaving, granny?

1:32 am

there are others who do the voyage during the day...i prefer the night....we both sleep like babies, and arrive fully refreshed. i think it takes about 10-12 hours.

Sleeping in a chair would make you start your vacation very tired, I would imagine.... smart to book a cabin.

1:33 am

jilli, next thursday, night. but we have to be at the pier by 3pm.

1:34 am

granny, I put a little package in the mail yesterday -- air mail -- hope it arrives before you leave!

1:36 am

i didn't realise port philip bay was so big...until we went over last year. by the time we reach the 'heads', through the rocks into bass strait, it is almost 4 hours.

good thing neither of you gets seasick :)

fireworks

1:37 am

ooh, jilli...something to look forward to, if i don't receive it before i go away.

1:37 am

wtg dee

1:37 am

WTG DEE!!!!

1:38 am

jillii!!! what are you up to??

1:38 am

It's just a very little thing from Salt Spring, granny -- I just hope the post office will keep it for you if you're not there to pick it up

1:39 am

jilli....have our mail on hold....we willl receive it when we come home

1:39 am

oh, that's good -- and now I must...* repoof

1:40 am

lolol...sleep well, my friend

It's been a busy week - trying to close out 2012 files, make new ones for 2013, start gathering tax info, making new brochures and flyers for my hubby... and trying to stay warm LOL.

hi lyn :) xxx

2:47 am

oh it is so cold he4! I am postponing taking a shower, don't want to lose my clothes!

2:48 am

while we are shedding our clothes down here. What is your heating?

2:48 am

we have central heating, but the one in the bathroom isn't too great.

2:48 am

still around 35, I am putting off walking Stew till it becomes a bit cooler

2:48 am

yeah, we should be able to exchange a bit of heat, lol

2:49 am

and jeezzz, hot still in the evening.

2:52 am

Its OK just one v. hot day for us and then some cooler days - even a little rain over the next week. Lets hope it gets to where the fires are

2:52 am

my hopes go with yours.

2:55 am

guess I will babble for a bit, then start the shower and then wait a bit until the bathroom is bearable, grin. Not very environmentally sound, but much better for my old bones.

2:56 am

sounds good

2:57 am

:)

2:57 am

phantom and probably wouldn't be accepted: crapola

2:58 am

good one

2:58 am

mine is scherzo

2:59 am

3:01 am

lol... so5/10 and po5/12... so similar and yet so different

3:01 am

yeah

3:02 am

a bit like Aussie and the Netherlands

3:03 am

3:08 am

Hi Lyn and Sprite :)

3:08 am

evening Liz

3:10 am

hi Liz :)

3:16 am

Hi Liz

3:16 am

hello demi

3:16 am

Hi Demi. Just back from seeing The Hobbit. Both loved it :)

3:16 am

Hi Sprite & Lyn. Hope you are all well

3:17 am

hi Demi

3:17 am

we went to see it with the family as well. Enjoyed it very much.

3:17 am

I was going to ask you how the Hobbit was. Glad you enjoyed it. Rich & I did.

3:17 am

yes, all well he4. Hope the same for you.

3:18 am

Now just need to wait for part 2 & 3!

3:18 am

On the other hand, Demi, hubby devastated. Zoom lens is b***ered

3:18 am

Ohhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

3:19 am

If you tell Rich, don't let him joke about it!

3:19 am

demi: yes indeed. And after that, a full marathon from the Hobbit part 1 till the LOTR part 2 :D

3:19 am

ohoh - some-one didn't have specified insurance

3:19 am

He shouldl look on the bright side, at least he can look at a new one or was that the ulitmate lense?

3:19 am

Our parting comment at the cinema was same time next year!

3:20 am

Huge cost on top of everything else

3:20 am

LOTR part 3*

3:20 am

I will make sure rich doesn't joke about it. It seems to be a bit like Rich's horns.

3:21 am

Yes just like them.

3:21 am

He's very stressed by the whole thing

3:21 am

I don't see why they have to wait until the end of this year to release part 2 of the Hobbit, given they have been filmed.

3:21 am

what happened to it Liz

3:22 am

Christmas box office

3:22 am

they might anyway, because the Xmas season is very good for releasing movies.

3:23 am

Hello

3:23 am

The lens just died! He's taken thousands of photos and is now worried that his other lenses will die soon they're about the same age.

3:23 am

hi BR

3:23 am

Hi BR :)

3:24 am

How's the weather in Qld Liz? Has been quite warm hear. Hopefully you can send some rain our way!

3:24 am

how old Liz? Has he looked at getting it repaired?

3:24 am

About 5 years. Yes it was the repair guy who told him not to bother.

3:25 am

hello BabbleRabble, am glad to see you.

3:25 am

Hot Demi - humid . We've had a bit of rain but not much so far.

3:25 am

if it was expensive lens maybe he should look around a bit more. I can ask my daughter if you like

3:26 am

BabbleRabble, I hope the suicide of the forum member didn't hit you too hard?

3:26 am

Yes it's an expensive lens. Your daughter?

3:28 am

Done photography degree - so might know a good place for repairs = even if in Melbourne (wondering if she has lenses she wants to sell?)

3:29 am

Repair guy is ex Canon guy, so trust his opinion

3:29 am

fair enough

3:29 am

BBS just going to walk down and get some dinner and walk Stew. Bye for now

3:30 am

bye lyn, I hope it isn't too hot

3:30 am

Enjoy the walk.

3:32 am

There is a lot going on.

3:32 am

Demi, he's OK now, having made the decision to buy the 2 new lenses he's wanted for a while :)

3:33 am

are you managing?

3:33 am

Trying.

3:34 am

have been thinking of you since you told us. Sending you sun and warmth and good energy. For what it's worth.

3:34 am

Thanks

3:34 am

Liz, glad he is ok and he has made a decision he is happy. There is nothing worse when something breaks when you least expect it. One of Rich's computer screens died on Sunday. He was not a happy bunny and even more so because noone makes the same screen size anymore.

3:36 am

well, will be back soon. Time to shower in a hopefully warmed-up bathroom.

3:39 am

Dinner time. BBL

3:40 am

enjoy!!

4:06 am

back... cleaner and even a bit warmer :)

4:08 am

always find a winter shower warming!

4:10 am

our bathroom is very very cold. But I cheated and warmed it up by letting the shower run a bit before I stripped ;)

4:21 am

ok, I have to be off for now. Bye all, take care and *hug*

4:22 am

have a good day sprite :)

I haven't seen you since you went to London..How was the trip and did you dance?

6:06 am

Good day to all.

6:06 am

hello scrabbler

6:06 am

the trip was lovely but truncated because DH didn't manage. But it was worth it to get out of this mess for a couple of days

6:06 am

didn't dance, but ate Japanese food

6:07 am

did you see NY state of the state?

6:07 am

?? what is that?

6:07 am

hi scrabs

6:07 am

so good to hear ruby..not that the trip was cut short but that you got to have Japanese food

6:08 am

Gov Cuomo's presentation ruby..like State of the Union

6:08 am

and my relatives were splendid and made me feel like I was special!

6:08 am

maybe it will be in today's IHT but our coverage is very poor

6:09 am

I asked scrabbler because the Gov was saying he wanted to sing the praises of upstate NY and I thought scrabbler would be the perfect spokesperson

6:10 am

it was awhile ago ruby..we watched it on CSpan

6:10 am

might still be on their website

6:10 am

I dislike politicians--you cannot believe what they say.

6:11 am

cable satellite public affairs network

6:11 am

don't know what kind of pol he is but he does seem to like the state

6:11 am

TY, BR. I never knew what CSPAN represented.

6:12 am

sorry scrabbler didn't mean to offend

6:13 am

hi again...clue for co5/22 please?

6:13 am

<-- loves his father when I was still a New Yorker (once a NYR, always a NYR lol)

6:13 am

what music you listening to, west?

6:13 am

loved*

6:13 am

Oh, no offense at all. I just don't like listening to people say things to please others. Actions matter more than words. Does that make sense?

6:14 am

watching Inspector Lewis

6:14 am

hi flask

6:14 am

co + a ***t for life

6:14 am

I like Mario too ruby

6:14 am

TY, BR

6:15 am

6:15 am

Who wants breakfast? I'll be back in a few minutes with the Babble Breakfast Buffet!

6:15 am

me please

6:16 am

I was thinking of making some banana nut muffins..I'll bring them

6:16 am

me, too, could eat breakfast 3 X/day

6:16 am

too bad they all start out green and ripen at the same time

6:17 am

between scrabbler and crossy we're all set ruby

6:18 am

6:18 am

thank you !!

6:18 am

sorry, got too excited about eating again

6:19 am

thanx Babrab!!

6:19 am

I'll bring the Bloody Mary's

6:19 am

it is miserable here, around freezing, humid and grey

6:19 am

and the croissants?

6:19 am

ice every place

6:19 am

always good!

6:20 am

1 degree F he4. I bet BR is in the coldest place.

6:20 am

we have a bit of snow..inside and out

6:20 am

Hi all :)

6:20 am

Hi Liz.

6:21 am

my mother crocheted snowflakes for the Christmas tree but we hang them in front of the window in Jan on fishing line

6:21 am

{{lizlin}}

6:21 am

and I have a sign just for the mailman.." There's snowflake like home"

6:21 am

LOL west :)

6:22 am

hi liz..envious of the warm

6:22 am

Nice, westford

6:22 am

cute!

6:22 am

Wish I could say I was envious of the cold but I'd be lying :)

6:22 am

half, yay

6:23 am

good job !!

6:23 am

I enjoy our 4 distinct seasons. I am sad as each one departs.

6:23 am

we barely had winter last year

6:23 am

Same he4.

6:24 am

our winters are much warmer than when we moved here, much less snow

6:25 am

I'm just happy I don't work out doors

6:26 am

I spoke to a father in the office yesterday. He works for the county so drives snowplows all winter. 12 hr shifts. He has been busy.

6:27 am

I hope his cab is heated

6:27 am

I just found both oc5s--pigments

6:27 am

and plurals, scrabs

6:27 am

I am sure he has heat.

6:27 am

need top e and 9 for nbt, nbs. And anybody help?

6:27 am

Oh, TY, Ruby

6:28 am

thanks scrab and ruby

6:28 am

2 oc 5s???? I'd better continue looking - only have one!

6:28 am

OK UK v US spelling!!!!!

6:28 am

hahah liz

6:29 am

Keep missing the US spellings of words!

6:29 am

wonder why they are different..we must have started out the same

6:30 am

Perhaps the differences came because of poor spellers - or maybe it was just more phonetic, so easier!

6:30 am

could be..I wish we still used the English spelling

6:31 am

110 and the fireplace beckons.....

6:31 am

Would it be so bad if you did?

6:31 am

*woof*

6:31 am

going to sweep the cinders ruby?

6:31 am

Noticed a difference talking to smores on the pl spelling of mango!

6:31 am

Bye Ruby :)

6:32 am

Enjoy the warmth of the fire :)

6:32 am

And I must quickly get ready and leave for work. I'll check back in during my lunch hour in 5 hrs

6:32 am

OK - bye scrabbs. have a good day :)

6:32 am

I'll do the dishes while you're gone scrabbler

6:32 am

thanks for the breakfast

6:32 am

The reason US spelling is different is because there was a move at one time to simplify spelling on the part of the Americans. To some extent, it took hold, with words like color, colour, etc. Usually the simplified spelling is the American spelling.

6:33 am

ty for that explanation :)

6:33 am

yes ty

6:33 am

You are very welcome.

6:33 am

I do like to see words spelled correctly

6:34 am

when I move to England and live at Downton Abbey I shall add u's to my words

6:34 am

Me too - especially as an ex teacher of literacy! But I fear that text language will become far more commonplace.

6:35 am

is text language used to save money?

6:36 am

Wow! Just started raining. It may not last long but it's the heaviest since about 21 December!

6:36 am

I meant that as a teacher I often had to tell kids that gr8 etc was just not acceptable in their writing.

6:37 am

my goodness they would actually do that?

6:38 am

Yes and they didn't instinctively understand the difference between formal and informal use of language.

6:38 am

there was a movement he** to not stifle creativity so anything was okay

6:38 am

drove me up a wall

6:38 am

did anyone come up with the top e while I was in the grid? please?

6:39 am

e and cease champ..legal term

6:39 am

I understand that westford, but if they're asked to write a formal piece e.g. an argument, they need to know that language must be formal!

6:39 am

tyvm!

6:40 am

tyvm for es 5

6:40 am

I did not agree with it liz..it's all a learning process and good spelling and good punctuation should be second nature

6:41 am

but I am old school

6:41 am

There is a place for creativity but I also believe that the basics are very necessary.

6:41 am

gm, everyone. stats/clue for the lone A bottom row?

6:41 am

Also old school I guess - about some thins anyway!

6:42 am

hi lbd ap 5/14

6:42 am

clue: ap and friend

6:42 am

think that's an Indian tribe - apologies if that's not pc in phrasing!

6:43 am

ty!

6:43 am

yes - I agree with west ford!

6:43 am

it's not the tribe..and not the sneeze either..took me forever with bab's help

6:44 am

i got it from an earlier clue, which referred to a double consonant ending being more usual!

6:45 am

The sneeze surprised me!

6:45 am

OK - 70 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days :)

6:45 am

the rule of thumb with enable is anything goes

6:45 am

sweet dreams, Liz

6:46 am

you too liz..is it still raining?

6:46 am

yes, real rain!!!!!!

6:47 am

the gardens will be happy

6:47 am

Still humid though :(

6:47 am

ugh

6:47 am

Just what I was thinking - our plants are beginning to look very sorry for themselves.

6:48 am

OK - goodnight from downunder :)

6:48 am

Hi car

7:15 am

hello crossy and mub and mom

7:16 am

7:16 am

7:16 am

Hi West

7:16 am

I was worried car

7:17 am

I am sorry. My Dylan is sick and I am very distracted.

7:17 am

I figured it was something like that

7:17 am

does he have the flu?

7:18 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

7:19 am

He had the flu mist vaccine last Friday. I did not realize that is a live vaccine. Saturday morning he woke up with a high fever, aches, chills, etc. That lasted for about 3-4 days. Then it shifted to a low-grade fever with a cold. Now he has the pins and needles throat with the death rattle cough. :(

7:19 am

Marie Osmond goes by her middle name. Her actual first name is Olive.

7:19 am

i am sorry your dylan is sick car;(

7:19 am

<---- Loves Crossy

7:19 am

Olive Osmond?!?!?!

7:19 am

7:20 am

((mom))

7:20 am

I feel like I have done nothing but whine in the chog lately between my mom and dylan, so I think I will just lurk for a bit.

7:20 am

Olive Osmond is the Mom of the Osmond clan. Marie must be named after her.

7:21 am

poor baby car sounds like he's getting better

7:21 am

((Crossy and Elegant)) I read that your youngster has flown the nest. :-(

7:21 am

Molly! I can't see you?!??!

7:21 am

it is no problem at all car.we all need to vent our spleens on occasion

7:21 am

7:21 am

Oh my!

7:21 am

no lurking allowed amongst friends, Car.

7:22 am

Hey Mom....so nice to see you!!

7:22 am

7:22 am

Hello Flask1

7:22 am

((Flask)) lovely to see you also

7:22 am

Hiya car!

7:23 am

Hope Dylan gets better soon!

7:23 am

Clearly this grid was meant for my current situation: ea 7/36, ac 5/14....

7:23 am

well,mom,he was tired of our oppressive dictatorship rule and said he wished to try it on his own. so i advised him that now was the time while he still knows it all

7:23 am

but yes,it is quite the change

7:24 am

a made to order grid for you

7:24 am

TY

7:24 am

today is his last day of school and he graduates:)

7:24 am

Wow!

7:24 am

crossy congratulate him for a job well done

7:24 am

Mom needs coffee & brekkies...brb...oH! and it is bus time....

7:25 am

just 2 exams and he is done.it is more of a formality as he has enough credits

7:25 am

silly boys, they think they know it all but they are always in for a rude awakening

7:25 am

indeed mom

7:25 am

ours now 28 and 24 will attest to that. They mention it many times

7:25 am

and the new gf has him spinning a bit as well

7:25 am

is he nearby, Crossy?

7:26 am

he is mom.we can keep an eye on him

7:26 am

excellent

7:26 am

all the worse when a girl is involved

7:26 am

yup,his brain shrinks to roughly the size of his penis lol

7:27 am

hahahaha

7:28 am

he's sure to come home for breakfast crossy

7:28 am

on the plus size he has an appreticship at a local cable company working the equipment in the control room

7:28 am

lol westford.he is coming over for dinner tonight and it has been what? 3 days?

7:28 am

that is great, Crossy.

7:29 am

whipping up one of your famous dinners?

7:29 am

Hi all. You want whinig? Let me tell you about my day yesterday. Bitter cold..7:00am Had to sh*** our horse...8:00am rcv'd. notice we're being sued...9-2 very very busy at work...3:00pm lost our phones and internet. They were fixing something or other and forgot to put us back on...4:00pm son calls and asks me to come stay with him. He has to have surgery..6:00pm...finally in the kitchen cooking dinner...brr, it's cold in here. Turn up the thermostat..nothing. Furnace blower gone! Now did I mention it was bitter cold? and after hours? You try to get a repairman on a 25 below and after hours. I am dressed in long johns, ski pants,three wool sweaters and praying the pipes don't freeze before we get things fixed. I need a break!

7:29 am

indeed,pork roast with all the trimmings,onions,roast taters,baby carrots,home made gravy and yorkies

7:30 am

<--- wishes she had a passport

7:30 am

poor gramma;((

7:30 am

Not a good day. I'm glad it's over.

7:31 am

oh no, gramma

7:31 am

yorkshire pudding that is,not actual yorkies.the humane society takes a dim view when i cook yorkies

Sympathy for gramma

7:31 am

what are yorkies?

7:31 am

I see your post now. Never had yorkshire pudding

7:32 am

never!!! gasp!!!! wow,mom! never had yorkies...

Mom, you don't know what you missing

7:32 am

I guess I need to look up a recipe for it then

7:32 am

Mom, have you had popovers? Same thing.

7:33 am

I grew up w/yorkshire pudding but I'm a failure at making it.

7:33 am

no, no popovers either

7:33 am

and good morning Molly

7:33 am

oven temp and pre heating the pans are critical to making good yorkies

7:33 am

a smooth batter at room temp as well

7:34 am

traditionly they used to oil the pan with bacon fat but i find canola oil works well

7:34 am

gramma if I had a day like you've had I would be in bed with the covers pulled up over my head

7:34 am

cooked in grease, then butter and gravy on top. It's a wonder my heart still beats

7:35 am

westford, it was not an easy one by any stretch

7:35 am

Just saw a recipe for it, never would have thought it was made like that

7:35 am

everything tasty will kill us gramma

7:35 am

And we're back!

7:36 am

wb car

7:36 am

Gramma, so sorry about your horse. I hope every thing else works out for you

7:36 am

hi again Car.

7:36 am

i no longer worry as i am quite comfortable in the fact that the next cancer will take me out of the picture long before my dietary habits

7:37 am

I think you have had enough cancers for one person, Crossy

7:37 am

It was awful.I've always been the one to take the pets to be put down. My husband is too gentle a soul. Yesterday he had to do it because I'm no good with guns.

7:37 am

i missed that gramma,something happen to a horse of yours as well?

7:38 am

{{gramma}} My thoughts and prayers are with you.

7:38 am

We have one upset horse left and we'll have to find her a home. They are herd animals and she is quite distraught. So sad.

7:39 am

:(( and horses are social animals and may not thrive is left alone too long

7:39 am

((Gramma))

7:39 am

((gramma))

7:39 am

ty for the virtual hugs

7:41 am

It's tough because she's in great shape but she's 30. This has only been her 2nd home. Hard to place her and see her go.

7:41 am

is getting another horse out of the question?

7:42 am

Can you get another horse?

7:42 am

30? that is a high age and will be tough to relocate

7:42 am

We talked about it but the cycle then continues.

7:42 am

she will need a companion soon,one way or another

7:43 am

how about another "older" horse that someone needs a home for?

7:43 am

Perhaps a boarder?

7:43 am

Oh believe me we know. We couldn't have loaded her yesterday. She was way to upset

7:43 am

was just thinking that car!

7:43 am

a boarder would be a good fix

7:44 am

We're going to look at a couple of places this weekend

7:44 am

'ello 'ello 'ello!

7:45 am

7:46 am

8:23 am

ok well the two A's i was missing i would have thought were proper - european mts and a fierce native american tribe...

8:23 am

Here too, mid 20's today but very windy so it feels much colder

8:24 am

Maybe it's because the mountains don't refer to a specific range?

8:24 am

i dunno, i thought they did, but i'm sure there is some reason.

8:26 am

I remember being in the Bay Area of CA earlier this month and complaining that it was in the 30's in the morning.

8:27 am

lol...30's sounds nice now heh?

8:27 am

In the singular the al4/5 refers to the meadows for grazing below the level of the glaciers. Did you ever read 'Heidi' by Johanna Spyri?

9:01 am

That's the spirit!

9:02 am

One done grid! Finito!

i even gassed up the car, though i seriously considered using a gallon to drive to NJ to have it pumped for me.

9:02 am

Congratulations, Judi.

yay judi!

9:03 am

WooHoo Judi :)

9:04 am

lol..sounds like me TO, I got gas yesterday too, so wished someone else had been pumping it :)

9:04 am

But wouldn't you have to pay a toll to get Jersey, TO?

blame canada.

9:04 am

?

9:05 am

Is the weathr coming from Canada?

no judi. only drive 20 miles. so it would be about 2 gallons round trip.

yes it is.

9:05 am

weather

9:05 am

Or are they the ones that started the "self service" cr4 :)

9:05 am

Isn't gas much cheaper in NJ anyhow?

9:06 am

Well, that would kind of defeat the savings and convenience. Bummer. I'm off to do some real work. See you fine peoples tomorrow! *POOF*

9:06 am

NJ is our first gassing up stop on our way to VA

9:06 am

Bye Judi, enjoy your day :)

9:07 am

There is one full service station about 15 miles from me, I always stop whenever I'm over that way and top off.

bich it used to be about 18 cents. but ater the hurricane the difference virtually disappeared. fascinating. but they do pump it , one does not have to get out of the car.

9:08 am

Which is very nice this time of year.

it is just amazing. one of the lingering economic effects of Sandy.

9:10 am

my new word chocalot :)

9:10 am

I miss full service gas stations. None left around here.

9:11 am

Yes, it is sad

they are not really full service in nj. the attendants just pump in 99$ of instances.

9:12 am

That's the same with the one left here, not "full" service like it used to be, but they pump the gas.

9:13 am

Probably look at me like I was nuts if I asked them to check my oil or clean my windshield :)

9:13 am

I believe Oregon is all full serve gas

gosh, they don't even do it on turnpike rest stops, which is where it is really needed.

you mean they check oil and wash windows, poodle?

9:15 am

my sister in law lives out there. all I remember is when we visit, they pump the gas. dont know about the rest

well, i think it is time to scoot. bye haz and bye all.

9:16 am

Bye TO...stay warm and have a good day :)

thanks smores, you as well

9:27 am

Good morning friends

9:28 am

speaking of co... co 6/24, the second one?

4:43 pm

hi Soodle

4:43 pm

Hey Bich. :-)

4:44 pm

Molly, what did you think of the Fringe finale? I was perplexed about something

4:45 pm

co6 rhymes with no6

4:46 pm

Bich, I loved the Fringe finale. What were you perplexed by?

4:46 pm

Michael, the mini Observer, put his finger to his lips after Olivia spoke to him. What was that all about?

4:46 pm

c + Orthodox Jews eat k***** food

I have that one, Molly, and I have the one about things that stick. I'm missing the one in between.

good clues though =)

4:47 pm

Winding. Pl 4/5 is a scheme, or plan. When 2 people are involved it could be a 6/24. Or else, slang word for a policeman, and an auction piece. And plural.

Aha! Thank you. That's all I needed for fireworks =)

4:48 pm

I think we are to assume Michael meant that words were not necessary for him to understand. Just a guess. That was kind of vague.

4:48 pm

Happy to be of use!

4:49 pm

I hate to wind up a series and not know everything. He was such an enigma.

4:52 pm

I'm quite sure this 'Fringe' of which you speak is intriguing. (But at the moment I'm obsessing about my kitchen chairs!

4:54 pm

And what was with the drawing at the end?

4:54 pm

hi all, 13 left. help with ra6 pls

4:54 pm

*waves*

4:55 pm

*waves* back to cos. how was your flight home?

4:55 pm

ra 6/21 - animal

4:56 pm

I have ra7 as an animal

4:56 pm

but ra6 is one too, ty

4:57 pm

Daniel Boones Hat!!

4:57 pm

still in denver.. waiting for shuttle.. a hour and half. then another hour drive back to col. springs! so eating dinner at food court here and babbling til then :)

4:58 pm

oooh ty for ra7

4:58 pm

ok

4:58 pm

and ra6 :)

4:58 pm

Hey Cos. :-)

4:59 pm

my goodness, cos -- I just came back, and you are still at the airport since this morning! I've finished laundry, put together a Board presentation, run errands, and watched the latest 'Nashville' episode on Huluplus. You poor guy!!

4:59 pm

the plane ride was AWFUL.

4:59 pm

sorry to hear that

5:00 pm

turbulance?

5:00 pm

I had a window seat and the lady who sat in the middle decided to sleep. which was ok.. but a hour into the flight., i had to pee. and she would NOT wake up so I had to hold it in the entire time

5:00 pm

you should have woken her up.

5:00 pm

and to make things worse.. the pen I bought at the airport crapped out and I couldnt do my crossword book.. and i left my books in the overhead compartment....

5:00 pm

Oooohhh. well, that's a form of turbulance, at least for your poor bladder.

5:00 pm

or got the steward person

5:00 pm

We tried to wake her up! she refused to wake up.

5:01 pm

so i sat for 3 hours holding it in and doing nothing but staring out the window

5:01 pm

A sharp elbow into the ribs usually works

5:01 pm

Okay, I have to go look up the spelling on that word. brb.

5:01 pm

stewardess tried to wake her up too.

5:01 pm

Cos is at the airport on the other end, he's not still in DC.

5:01 pm

di you try to crawl over her?

5:01 pm

i couldnt. she was big

5:02 pm

Bich, I think there are things about Michael that we weren't supposed to understand. He is, after all, an evolved species. I was more perplexed by the music box he played when September died.

5:02 pm

I used to like window seats but if I am on a plane again I will ask for an aisle seat if possible

5:02 pm

next time im getting an aisle seat! forever and ever.:)

5:02 pm

:)

5:02 pm

5:02 pm

Ah, turbulEnce. Cos, I empathize.

5:03 pm

Cos a really loud IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP, I'M GOING TO PEE ON YOU might have helped.

5:03 pm

i could have watched movies but i left my laptop in my bag overhead.. and the little tv in front of the seat didnt have captions! so i just watched cnn and pretended i understood lol

5:07 pm

5:07 pm

I agree! It takes ap6 but won't take the paloose tribe.

5:08 pm

oh? What happened in RI?

5:08 pm

@a

5:08 pm

state house passed marriage equality., now goes to the senate for full vote.

5:09 pm

Speaking of evolved species, we are slowly becoming one.

5:09 pm

just took us what? 2000 years? :P

5:09 pm

I'm in Washington state, where marriage equality and pot both passed. :P

5:10 pm

And, the 7/36..... Offspring of the 6/27!

5:10 pm

colorado civil union bill passed judicary committee yesterday, goes to appropiations now. widely expected to be in law as of May 1st.

5:11 pm

Meanwhile, til SCOTUS says, VA will not acknowledge nor allow.

5:11 pm

SCOTUS is in March yes?

5:12 pm

Hello all! Just got down replying to a friend who, like me, has a gay son and we shared all these issues...EQUALITY NOW!!

5:12 pm

*done

5:12 pm

Whoa!!! Here in 'Holy Catholic Ireland', Civil partnerships have been recognised for the last 5 or 6 years. Is this not the same in the US?

5:13 pm

Oh, I thought you were dancing while emailing. Get down, get down.

5:13 pm

No it is sadly not soodle...

5:13 pm

Yeah Jilly!

5:13 pm

LOL molly...

5:13 pm

Hello all. I am here for a little bit while my mini carrot muffins are baing. I didn't have the right size cupcake liners so I hope greasing the pan worked.

5:13 pm

WTH? Harry reid killed fillibuster reform?!?!?!?!?!!?

5:13 pm

i cant stand him.

5:14 pm

SCOTUS = Supreme Court Of The United States for those of you who do not speak in abbreviations.

5:14 pm

Ah, thanks Molly, I thought it was an obscure spring rite.

5:14 pm

lol i forget theres a lot of non-americans here... sorry! thanks molly

5:14 pm

No Soodle, it's not the same. Apparently we are holier and more Catholic than y'all.

5:15 pm

mmm... carrot muffins. Beloved and I just started watching "The West Wing" series on Netflix, and WOW -- incredibly written and reflective of the real wheeling/dealing.

5:15 pm

Cos, there are Americans who don't know what that means.

5:15 pm

LOL, Molly!! And I can hear jillyjill hooting too!!!

5:15 pm

true true true.,, i need to also remember a lot of Americans arent interested in politics..

5:15 pm

I am an American but living abroad over 26 yrs. Initialspeak began later than that.

5:15 pm

ch1212 i love west wing.. im watching on netflix too... im on season 2 now

5:15 pm

ohh nice!

5:16 pm

Phew! Thanks for the clarification On SCOTUS Molls!! I was imagining all sorts......

5:16 pm

Can someone clue the E from the top row?

5:16 pm

We just wrapped up Season 1. Can't believe I never watch it before. Just superb.

5:17 pm

5:17 pm

Bon voyage, Cos.

5:17 pm

Going to peak into my oven, brb

5:18 pm

Go peek, Mich... see if those muffins have peaked ;)

5:18 pm

West Wing is one of the best shows ever made for television. It's been on Amazon Plus for a while, I did my marathon a few months ago.

5:19 pm

Sorry, Amazon Prime.

5:19 pm

Oy, thanks Ch, didn't catch my sp mistake.

5:19 pm

Muffins looking goo-ood. They are made with spelt flour, stevia and only a teensy bit of sugar, so I can sample one tonight.

5:20 pm

It's so articulate, beautifully written and acted. The writers don't talk down to the audience -- there is a great presumption of intelligence. Mich, I was just having fun. I get those two words mixed up all the time :)

5:20 pm

It's fine, CH, you pointed it out so elegantly!

5:21 pm

And, as with any well written show, the characters are very well developed.

5:21 pm

Thanks, Michnick. Your recipe sounds delicious. I may try some with Truvia and a tiny bit of sugar.

5:21 pm

pa7 is borrowed from a native american language.

5:22 pm

Would you clue it, dc?

5:22 pm

I use all my regular recipes and tweak them to fit my limited diet. I find "diet" or "Diabetic" recipes are usually awful.

5:22 pm

<---Likes muffins with real sugar

5:23 pm

The sqaw and her pa7

5:23 pm

Mich, enjoy those muffins. Ch, you have made me determined to buy the West Wing box set! Molly, I'll talk to you soon, Cos, safe journey, and, to everybody else, Good Night! :-)

5:23 pm

So do I Molly, but I want to live to see some more grandchildren.

5:23 pm

Molly said the "s" word *shocked look* ;)

5:23 pm

Ahhh... thanks, mich (and dc). Got it.

5:23 pm

Niters soodle!!

5:24 pm

G'nite Soodle

5:24 pm

I hear some muffins calling my name. Good night all!!

5:25 pm

nite, soodle. night, Mich. Goodnight, Johnboy. Jilly, it seems everything luscious starts with 's'. sumptuous, succulent, sugar, sweet, scrumptious...

5:26 pm

Niters Mich! Enjoy!

5:26 pm

<---Can't believe she didn't include sex.

5:26 pm

ROFL!!

5:29 pm

Gosh, I hate to leave this titilating chog, but need to grap a quick bite and head over to watch a wrestling match...but nbs and nbt and bbl...

5:30 pm

Have fun, jilly. Thanks for being here and lending your light!

5:31 pm

Yup...teenage boys in tights groppling with one another...I lead such a life...LOL *poof*

5:31 pm

LOL!!

5:31 pm

pa7 -- a baby, often worn on the back

5:33 pm

Good morning :)

5:33 pm

morning, liz

5:34 pm

Never did get the appeal of wrestling.

5:36 pm

Lo, liz. Molly, I agree.

5:36 pm

I love to wrestle

5:37 pm

Ru, there you are. 1) Thanks for posting the info on NB. I too was shocked and saddened. 2) I tried to click on your profile by going through the rankings page, but it shows you are not a 'member' because your name is not linked. Apparently I can only click on it when you are on here. How did you set that up?

5:38 pm

I think it's because my name is in black and reconized for completing grids

5:39 pm

Un-click SHOW PROFILE at the top of your My Account page.

5:39 pm

Hmmm... so there isn't a box members can check on to indicate they don't want their profile accessed unless they ..... OH, never mind. THANK YOU MOLLY!

5:40 pm

It will always show when you are on line, but not when you are off line.

5:43 pm

Gotta go, before I get hit with a rolling pin.

5:44 pm

Thanks again, molly. Anyway, Ru, thanks for your detective work. Feeling more sad than angry for the (clearly) mentally unbalanced perpetrator.

5:45 pm

yes ch.. it's a drag so many people were taken in by this.

5:45 pm

at least it's out in the open now.

5:47 pm

Yes. I got a jolt of hyperalertness (I know, no such word) in terms of trusting my online babble friends, but I suppose it's good to be reminded now and then. I just hope the experience doesn't sour the sense of community we have here.

5:49 pm

hi all. back for more.

5:49 pm

Hi mkg :)

hi all, how is ya

5:49 pm

Hi Gwen :)

5:49 pm

hi gwen, mkg :)

5:50 pm

All for me now. Still have a thrid of the words left but need to fix veggies to go with dinner. Behave yourselves. apparently somepeople have not been as kind to others as they wish others to be to them. I do not approve.

5:51 pm

I looked at your icon while reading that, stidgmere, and I could 'hear' the dog speaking it!

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

Nancy boy was a hoax

5:56 pm

5:56 pm

5:56 pm

yep, saw it after i posted *trigger finger*

5:56 pm

the po 5/12 before it doesn't extend?

5:57 pm

add a vowel towards the end

5:57 pm

5:57 pm

5:58 pm

native American tribe, mkg

5:58 pm

misspelling of Eve's fruit, mkg

5:58 pm

5:59 pm

liz, it's a plural with high point

5:59 pm

1st ap 6 - american indian tribe

5:59 pm

HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!!!!!!!! NancyBoy was a hoax?????????

5:59 pm

5:59 pm

indeed so, minver :/

5:59 pm

thanks dc :)

5:59 pm

NEVER thought I would enter the chog to see THAT posted!

5:59 pm

*fans minver*

5:59 pm

min what is nancyboy?

6:00 pm

he was a former player here, mkg

6:00 pm

No, actually, He is alive and well in Japan.

6:00 pm

player on the grid? so what was the hoax?

6:01 pm

*wonders what else she missed during 2 days of no Babble*

6:01 pm

ok ty. need clues.

6:01 pm

min you have missed nada.

6:01 pm

So who was the first babbler to make this discovery & how?

6:01 pm

i would love a clue for ap 5 14 please.

i recall nancy boy being a very crazy player verging on troll-ishness

6:01 pm

BBL - time to make my challah (bread!)

6:02 pm

6:02 pm

There's no such person Gwen.

6:02 pm

fruit with odd spelling, mkg

and my new phantom is creche

6:02 pm

For sure mkg - don't think they'll arrive in time though :)

6:03 pm

anyone can be whomever they wish on the chat. i can pretent to be a man, boy, girl, neither, child etc.

6:03 pm

Same all over the internet :(

6:03 pm

ty got ap 5.

we all use nicknames in here and there was a player named nancy boy some time back

6:03 pm

Nancy Boy wasn't crazy or trollish. The made up person was very funny, nice and sweet most of the time.

6:04 pm

I said it before but if adults can be so easily taken in by a funny, sweet sounding person, how much more so for kids?

6:04 pm

Which is why so many people were taken in by the hoax.

6:04 pm

anyone have clue for co 5 16 the first co word?

6:04 pm

based on what i found in Twitter today, it appears the hoaxster may be Nigerian.

6:04 pm

so what if he or she was made up? someone pretended to be her or him. so what? it is fun. as long as they werent nasty

he was a chathog, as i recall, and highly dramatic, as much as one can be in a chatroom

6:05 pm

really seain?

6:05 pm

oh my word!! what a thing to find out!! just logged on!!

6:05 pm

Hello littlebit!How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

6:05 pm

loot at tweet stream from @TheBoyGeorge :/

6:05 pm

hi again all!

6:05 pm

why would he do that?

6:05 pm

what? DC What????

6:06 pm

I guess he/she did not want to continue hoax when it was posted that NancyBoy died of Malaria or something.

6:06 pm

Can you just explain the Twitter thing here, for those of us who don't Twitter.

6:06 pm

I do not twitter!

6:07 pm

me either, I never figured out the point of twitter

6:07 pm

anyone hagve clue for first co 5? i cant get it.

6:07 pm

@TheBoyGeorge is subscribed to a couple of African Evangeligal Church streams, and posts about that, and British/West African/European football (soccer)

6:07 pm

so mini, you knew all along that he wasn't real?

6:07 pm

hey minver! i'm doing well thanks :)

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

The co5/16 is a person who instructs an athletic team mkg

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

seain:)))

6:08 pm

No blueheron. I just found this out when I logged into chog

6:08 pm

J.C., BoyGeorg, ShivFitz, and nacyboy all eappeared here about the same time, and were all interconnected here and elsewhere on the web.

6:09 pm

oh

6:09 pm

The Boy George who babbled wasn't the REAL Boy George?

6:10 pm

and if they comminicated with people outside of here, they used mostly methods not easily traceable

6:10 pm

this sounds like a lot of hooey

6:10 pm

where are they interconnected, other than here??

6:10 pm

seemingly not, minver, but we'll never know for sure.

6:10 pm

... clue for first co6 please?

6:10 pm

Yes, but what does that have to do with Nigeria or Evangelical church streams? And who is to say that the Boy George on Twitter is the same person as the Boy George here/

6:11 pm

Multiple online communities, would pop up on one, say compromised, move to another

6:11 pm

the tweet stream from @TheBoyGeorge on Twitter

6:11 pm

i don't use twitter much, but went and had a look today.

6:11 pm

I don't twitter

6:11 pm

co 6/24 word is co plus he 4/5 word. I just found the word

6:11 pm

anyone here have any idea of who it could be here on Babble?

6:11 pm

I think someone is covering up something.

6:11 pm

thanks min!

6:11 pm

Thanks, min!

6:12 pm

I have my own ideas.

6:12 pm

yw

6:12 pm

6:15 pm

thanks, gwen! nbt!

6:16 pm

6:16 pm

Great timing -- Beloved just called to say he's on his way home, and I got fireworks. Hugs all around --- have fun! Off to start supper.

6:17 pm

6:17 pm

just before he could get "married"

6:17 pm

6:18 pm

6:18 pm

thanks, dc!

6:18 pm

egad

6:18 pm

corgrats, ch

6:18 pm

ty. great clue

ty for the ea7 dc and for the re8 mkg!

i wonder if he faked his sex reassignment surgery, too?

6:20 pm

I think you can pretty much assume that nothing regarding NB was real

so glad i didn't buy his CD (joke!)

6:21 pm

People here are very nice, but way too trusting. Which makes them an easy mark for internet imposters.

6:22 pm

Remember the whole story about Nancy Boy being from Korea,but being shunned by his parents because he was gay?Then dying from malaria while going back home to Korea after not having seen them for so many years.

6:22 pm

it's like a soap opera huh minver

i recall the very day he posted his own death . . . (hmmmm)

6:23 pm

Wonder if the Japanese actor was aware that he was being impersonated.

well i'm hungry now, gonna grab some dinner. Bye bye

6:23 pm

bye, gwen!

6:24 pm

Goodnight Book Doctor Gwen!I'll see you tomorrow maybe.

6:24 pm

May I please have a clue for ps5-12? Thanks

6:25 pm

ps + three vowels babblet, peach

6:25 pm

Hello gapeach! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

6:25 pm

Wonder how many had candles as icons when Nancy "died"

6:25 pm

Thanks much, Sue. How are you and Frank?

6:26 pm

Hey there, Min. I'm doing well today.....hope you are as well.

6:26 pm

oh, many, many, minver

6:26 pm

we are good, peach. This week was a short chemo week, and those are easier on him than the long ones.

6:26 pm

Lots of us did Min, myself included. There is no shame in that, the shame is on the person who perpetrated the hoax.

6:27 pm

That is good news, indeed.

6:27 pm

I agree, Molly!

6:27 pm

indeed so, molly, thank you and well said.

6:27 pm

glad to hear that, sue

6:28 pm

Molly, love your icon.

6:28 pm

I want everybody to know that I am NOT a hoax. I do truly exist. The only thing that isn't real about me are my stories

6:28 pm

Unfortunately, the internet (chat rooms and message boards in particular) are playground for the mentally unstable.

6:28 pm

Back for a few more words. Hi Sue :0

6:28 pm

hi liz!

6:28 pm

Clumsy fingers!

6:28 pm

Hi there, Lizlin.

6:28 pm

Glad the last chemo was easier, Sue.

6:29 pm

Hi Peach :)

6:29 pm

And no, I am not pretending to be actress Nastassja Kinski.

6:29 pm

<---Thinks Min is really a middle aged plumber from Hackensack.

6:29 pm

and that we know truly and well, minver, and i'm glad to be of your acquaintance :)

6:29 pm

I'm not pretending to be the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds either :-)

6:30 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Molly!

6:30 pm

Unwritten PB rule is that if a name is in the grid, it is not a PB offense. Probably written due to the high occurrence of "Peri" in grids.

Hi wvt :)

hello liz

7:04 pm

hi wv!

7:04 pm

hello sue

7:09 pm

are you in for snow tomorrow too, teach?

7:10 pm

yes, starting tomorrow afternoon through Sat morning - either 2 - 4 or 3 - 6 inches depending on who you listen to - just east of us on the ridges up to a foot

7:11 pm

had about 1/2 - 1 inch this morning and roads covered in the morning, but all cleared off this afternoon

7:12 pm

we had about that too, and they're saying for here 1-2 inches starting tomorrow afternoon.

7:12 pm

it was powdery -- i watched the wind blow the neighbor's roof clear -- i look down on it from my bedroom.

7:12 pm

lived in DC area and grew up in Illinois and knew how to drive in the snow - but it was flat there - here everything is on a hill - you are either at the bottom, side or top of the hill - makes driving very different

7:13 pm

I learned to drive here, so i'm used to the hills.

7:13 pm

this mornig just waved my hand over the windows - it was that powdery

7:13 pm

I remember asking my uncle 'on what hill?' when he suggested we take the kids sledding in the Cleveland area.

7:14 pm

there are hills in Cleveland - where the dunes left ridges - my sister lives there and have taken the kids sledding there - but one hill was even artificially made

7:14 pm

and most are in a park or in the Emerald Necklace. Compared to here, it's flat.

7:15 pm

compared to here, the DC area is flat

7:15 pm

Though the Cleveland Zoo makes the National Zoo seem flat by comparison.

7:15 pm

indeed, so!

7:16 pm

love both of the zo4

7:16 pm

i remember showing a friend the terraced suburbs of Pittsburgh a few years ago -- he'd never seen urban in the mountains.

7:16 pm

i still have my elephant key from the one in Cleveland. :)

7:16 pm

lived over in the Prince George county area, but my oldest son has a DC birth certificate - hospital was on the Maryland / DC line

7:17 pm

sister and i were both born in Alexandria. Her boys both in Woodbridge.

7:21 pm

friend's brother -- redneck brother -- was appalled to find out he was born in DC. LOL

7:25 pm

Evening all. Clue for re6/21, please?

7:54 pm

7:55 pm

7:55 pm

8:15 pm

And apparently Lickety was there then as well.

8:57 pm

I do remember one day around noon, when we were all sitting around, fried and hungover from the night before. This girl walked in and popped open a beer. We all looked at her like she should die immediately.

ROFL

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

(note to self: bring dishes for self when visiting jes)

9:57 pm

9:59 pm

sounds good

10:00 pm

anybody want to adopt a paraplegic chameleon that has to be hand fed because he won't eat on his own? :D

10:00 pm

i am enjoying my icon too muxh to change it . . . but i am sure i will

10:01 pm

i am having enough trouble with my cat ty

10:01 pm

I'll have to pass on the chameleon :)

10:01 pm

it is nice that you care about him

10:01 pm

what's wrong with your cat, jmc?

10:02 pm

you heard the story about her saving my life, no?

10:02 pm

<----hopes the bunny that peed on jes is much smaller that the one in her icon

10:02 pm

no, i don't think i did, jmc

10:03 pm

hah. indeed, smores, he's only about 8 pounds

10:03 pm

dang smores if i saw a bunny that big i would run like hell

10:03 pm

What No jmc, what happened?

10:03 pm

she started refusing to come up stairs and sleep with me

10:03 pm

so i stood on the stairs and called her and she came halfwayu p and stopped

10:04 pm

so i picked her up and brought her upstairs and she ran like she was sh** out of a cannon down the stairs

10:04 pm

what was leaking upstairs?

10:05 pm

this got me to thinking about what was bothering her so i started thinking about how my gas space heater had been so wierd that i stoppe using it and i decided to call the HVAC guy $$$$$

10:06 pm

he came and he said my flue was unlined (1920s house so not a surprise) stopped up with crud and the pipe was rusted through in my basement and my house was full of carbonmonoxide

10:06 pm

eeesh

10:06 pm

so he fixed all of that and for about a week then my cat wouldn't come DOWN stairs!

10:07 pm

this was a problem because that was where her food was. . .and where she normally did her business

10:07 pm

oh no... more broken things?

Hi and good kitty

10:07 pm

heya lady

10:07 pm

but i was painting my guest room and she peed on the plastic which made me think that after 15 years she would be willing to use a litter box and she did

10:07 pm

wow jmc, lucky you have her

10:07 pm

hi herin

Howdy and it seems the kitty also has decided to retire inside with luxury

10:08 pm

any way she started coming downstairs and just refused to be on the floor.. .but now things are (moreorless)) normal and she now for the first time in 15 years uses a little box

10:09 pm

yes she really loved cosd when he was he** i could hardly pry her away! haha

10:09 pm

she never used one before?

10:09 pm

hah. well, i am happy you had no ill effects, and that the hole in th flue didn't become a fire, and that the cat is well and using the box. many happy endings!

10:10 pm

no she didn't . . . it's not as bad as you think. . . she went on the basement floor and outside

10:10 pm

yep a great story of my life being saved by my cat!

10:10 pm

mine all go outside

10:11 pm

I have a litter box just in case, but it is rarely used

10:11 pm

which is fine by me :)

10:11 pm

she absolutely refused to use it for about a year and then i gave up

10:12 pm

but when it was snowing she had to go somewhere and the basement concrete floor was it

10:12 pm

people said my house did not smell like cat most of the time so it worked and saved me a fortune in kitty litter

10:13 pm

We have 3 cats, the one we had 1st always wanted to go outside. When we got the other 2 they used the litter box for a few months and then started going outside with our oldest.

10:14 pm

that's one of the things i like about cats is that they are self-training

10:14 pm

It's funny they all go to the door and meow

10:14 pm

sorry was showing ryan pics

10:15 pm

He was the 1st cat I had that didn't want to use a litter box.

10:15 pm

well i am fading and as much fun as it was to rummage around in jesdraggons mind *hides objects behind back* i really must be going

10:15 pm

nice icon cosd
