1:21 am

My 95yo mum was diagnosed with paget's disease a few weeks ago and has had to undergo surgery. If they had decided to do radiotherapy I wouldn't have been coming at all but she has bounced back surprisingly well. One day rose...

95 !!! the poor soul...to have to go through that at her age!!!

1:24 am

May I please have a clue for re6-24 the 2nd? Thanks

We were all worried that she wouldn't cope with it, and relieved that there is no radiotherapy to follow. but she has been amazing.

1:25 am

peach re6, area. or re + Glucose Index + opposite of off

1:27 am

sorry peach, misread the list. re6, re + *** sling, a drink + vowel

morning all

3:45 am

hi Sprite

3:45 am

hi lyn :) xxx

3:46 am

looks like a rather unfriendly grid today

3:47 am

first 100 are OK , the rest are giving me grief

3:48 am

ah, then it must be shortness of sleep here. I am having trouble with only 23 in.

3:49 am

you could/should sneak back to bed if you have nothing to do today?

3:50 am

I might do that. Take an afternoon nap with terra maybe :)

3:51 am

he would love that - I know Stew does.

3:51 am

yes he does. When I lie down on the couch, he jumps right up and settles, of all places, on the very top of me.

3:52 am

nice and warm, if not very comfortable, grin

3:52 am

our previous dog used to do that to - warm, soft and occasional pats - it's a dogs life

3:53 am

:) Wouldn't mind being Terra. Or Stew. But some dogs really have a dog's life, alas.

4:02 am

Cinzano - my fav drink in my 20s

4:02 am

awww :D

4:03 am

mmmm maybe I should buy a bottle - lovely w. ice for Summer

4:04 am

and find out if you still like it as much

4:13 am

I think I found a deer.

4:15 am

oh... no, not a deer. Another hooved animal.

4:18 am

4:57 am

morning Jommie

Hi Jommie

4:57 am

hi jommie

4:57 am

A phantom picnic sounds good :).

4:58 am

But a real picnic is even better ;).

4:58 am

not today here, though. It's raining hard.

Anything to escape the winter blues. Let's find a suuny spot, green grass and close to a babbling brook

Gale force winds here

4:59 am

It's raining here as well (I'm also from the Netherlands).

4:59 am

am joining you in that sunny spot

4:59 am

It's also possible to picnic indoors ;).

5:00 am

5:05 am

bye all, hope to see you all tomorrow. *hugs*

5:05 am

Thanks, you too :).

5:05 am

It's not an easy grid today...

5:13 am

Hello all :)

5:13 am

Hi smores :)

5:14 am

Hi Jommie, I see sprite was just on here

5:15 am

Yes, we talked to each other for a while :).

5:16 am

It's a difficult grid today, isn't it?

5:16 am

So far I found 42 words. And you?

5:16 am

Just starting now

5:17 am

Good luck :).

5:33 am

must get coffee

5:34 am

Coffee... that's an excellent idea!

5:36 am

G'Day - that should cover Holland and America - Hi smores and jommie - when you get back from making coffee :)

5:44 am

G'day liz :).

5:45 am

Hi Jommie - I haven't met you before, I think but I read in the chog that you were Dutch.

5:45 am

My coffee tastes great, by the way. It helps me to focus on today's grid :).

5:46 am

Love coffee but not at nearly 10 pm!!!!

5:47 am

Yes, I'm Dutch :). And this is only the 3rd day of my membership, so I don't think we've met before either ;).

5:48 am

Lol, it's only 1:00 P.M. in the Netherlands.

5:50 am

We were without power here for a couple of days because of the flooding. I've only been playing since the end of last August but love it!

5:50 am

I hope the flooding didn't do damage to your house!

5:52 am

No our house is fine thanks. But lots of the areas we love are still under water. We just lost power - which I guess was inconvenient and not pleasant but nothing more! Internet connections still a bit unstable!

5:52 am

Yeah, it's very addictive! I discovered this website only a few days ago. But I've been playing boggle online and offline for quite a while now ;).

5:52 am

My hubby's ex-wife introduced me!

5:53 am

Sometimes I'm online at the same time as her and my step-son's girlfriend. I think it's a bit confusing for some!!!

5:54 am

Glad to read that your house is fine. We've heard about the flooding (and the fires) in the news, but they never tell you what happens afterwards.

5:55 am

People just try to salvage what they can and get their homes / towns working again! Thankfully, I've never been in that situation. Strange country! I've only lived here 4 years!

5:56 am

Lol, I can imagine the confusion :). Do you also compare each others rankings?

5:56 am

No - I don't! Don't know if they do!

5:56 am

Yeah, in an emergency situation, you've got to make the best of it. Where did you live before?

5:57 am

Everyone has their own way of playing! I aim for at least 50% before going to the list and then go to a dictionary, when I'm really stuck.

5:57 am

I lived in London before. My hubby's Australian (actually, so am I, as of last Saturday night!)

5:59 am

I also try to find as many words as possible before going to a dictionary. But some words are so strange and unusual... :). Yesterday, I found a word that sounded like the sound you make when you sneeze, lol.

6:00 am

Congratulations!

6:00 am

Yes, babble is full of unusual words and sometimes really odd letter combinations.

6:00 am

ty :)

6:00 am

And there's also a babble chat language!

6:01 am

Yeah, I'm trying to figure it out, but some words / terms are still a mystery to me :).

6:02 am

I'm not sure that I understand everything yet - but people are very friendly and will always answer questions!

6:02 am

Yes, and they are always willing to give hints as well :).

6:03 am

There really should be a list explaining all the terms used in chat. There used to be good information on Angelsong's page, but the link doesn't work anymore.

6:03 am

Hi Molly :)

6:03 am

Hi Molly :).

6:03 am

Hi Liz

6:04 am

A list explaining all the terms would make things a lot easier :)

6:04 am

Too bad that Angelsong's link doesn't work anyomre.

6:04 am

anymore

6:05 am

Some of the "words" used here I find pretty silly. Like "Babblet" (a word you usually only see in Babble grids) and "Poof" said when someone leaves chat.

6:05 am

Do you also play other forms of boggle?

6:06 am

Lol, 'poof' sounds like a disappearing ghost in a cartoon or something ;).

6:06 am

No, Jommie, I don't. I used to play scrabble a lot but hardly ever now!

6:07 am

I know some people here play words with friends on Facebook but I really don't want to start with facebook games.

6:07 am

Hello again, back with coffee

6:07 am

Hi smores - good morning :)

6:08 am

And you, Molly? I play ruzzle and wordfeud on my smartphone and I also play wordsplay on the internet.

6:08 am

Welcome back, smores!

6:08 am

Good eveing Liz :)

6:08 am

Hi again Jommie

6:08 am

This is the only word game I play on the computer. I barely have time for this one.

6:09 am

Hello Molly :)

6:11 am

I don't play facebook games either. I get a lot of invitations, though :). But babble is much more fun!

6:11 am

Everything okay with you Liz?

6:11 am

Molly, I know what you mean. There is always so much to do!

6:12 am

We're doing fine, thanks, Smores. Internet's still a bit iffy. Can only get to certain websites - mostly can't get to the news ones! Much of the water here's drying up now but beaches are totally eroded and still closed and many local places still flooded!

6:12 am

Yeah! It has finally stopped raining!!

6:13 am

So sad about the beaches, glad you are okay though :)

6:13 am

Good thing is that they're kind of used to these extreme conditions and tides and I know that within a few weeks, they'll have restored the beaches.

6:14 am

Thanks :)

6:14 am

That's good, I know you love your walks on the beach :)

6:14 am

I guess that they have to get beaches back pretty quickly - so much of the tourism here is dependent upon them.

6:15 am

Bad rains where you are also Jommie?

6:15 am

Well, not as bad as where Liz lives :).

6:16 am

Thank goodness for that. Holland is so flat! It would be devastated by the cyclones here!

6:16 am

Any clues for the de 7 / 36 pls?

6:17 am

That's good, we had some fairly heavy storms here last night, some areas close to me are without power.

6:17 am

sorry liz, don't have it

6:17 am

just found 2 ad7's though

6:17 am

de7/36 - take coloured material from the walls?

6:17 am

Yes, our 'extreme weather conditions' are nothing in comparison to your cyclones.

6:17 am

Glad you escaped, smores. Hope there wasn't too much damage.

6:18 am

ty Haz! Weird word!

6:18 am

ty Haz and good morning :)

6:18 am

Good morning, afternoon all. And you're welcome.

6:19 am

No, not much, a few trees down in the area. Nothing major.

6:19 am

Wow Haz! Just read what you wrote in your profile - attracted by your ic4!!!!

6:19 am

Glad to hear that there wasn't too much damage, smores!

6:19 am

Me too!

6:19 am

Bear it in mind, lizlin. I hope I'm wrong.

6:20 am

Good afternoon Haz!

6:20 am

I hope so too! I'm trusting in some ways but also try not to give out too much personal info.

6:21 am

Everyone here seems so nice - it is sad to think that some or one can't be trusted!

6:21 am

glad you're ok, smores -- very scary here in TN -- tornado sirens woke me at 3:00am -- i'm very lucky -- some areas of the state had winds up to 100mph -- no power outage or damage at my house -- just lots and lots of rain -- whew!

6:21 am

Haz, I think you are spot on in your comments. People here are very nice, but I find many of them WAY too trusting.

6:22 am

You can never be too careful when it comes to privacy.

6:22 am

Stay safe Une.

6:22 am

Sounds like what we had here Une - horrible. Glad you're OK :)

6:22 am

I'm just very suspicious after recent events.

6:22 am

Wow Uneaixoise, that sounds scary indeed! Glad you're ok!

6:22 am

I've become more so!

6:22 am

And well you should be Haz. We all should be.

6:23 am

Just finished reading your profile Haz...

6:23 am

We've experienced some storms last night, but I'm glad there aren't any tornados in the Netherlands.

6:24 am

my one dog who's terrified of storms (in icon) is in a total stupor from her doggie sedative :-)

6:24 am

Beautiful dog - poor thing :(

6:25 am

aww..

6:26 am

Poor dog :(.

6:26 am

BRB

6:26 am

i try not to give her anything (she's 14) unless she's really freaking out and trembling badly -- which she was last nite!

6:27 am

Our dog (when I was a kid) was like that when there were fireworks! Not the babble kind - lol

6:27 am

:=)

6:28 am

Our cats are also terrified of fireworks.

6:29 am

And vacuum cleaners *lol*

6:29 am

omg don't get me started on vacuum cleaners! LOL

6:29 am

:)

6:30 am

welcome to babble, jommie :-)

6:32 am

ty Une :)

6:32 am

adding my welcome, too, Jommie - wonderful Wednesday to you all, Babblers!

6:33 am

back in a bit -- byeeee

6:33 am

I always make sure that I know where the cats are when I'm vacuuming the living room. Scared cats can do funny things :).

6:33 am

Bye une :)

6:33 am

(hey aloy!)

6:33 am

Thanks Aloyisius!

6:33 am

love your dog, Une...

6:36 am

a Husky was at our front door the other day, staring through the glass and wagging his tail.. I let him in - fortunately he was wearing an id tag - so I called the owner who came rushing over; the dog had escaped and they were looking all over for "Calamity"

6:36 am

Lol, Calamity. That's a promising name for a dog :).

6:36 am

Glad you looked after "Calamity" and his owner was happy to find him.

6:37 am

I know.. they adopted it - it was up for adoption because it continually ran off!

6:37 am

previous owner said it went through the electric fence even..

6:39 am

Wow, that is one doggy eager to explore the world :).

6:39 am

We put a dog in our yard yesterday that was running around the street. I called the owner (dog also wearing an ID tag) and she said it belonged to her estranged husband. But the dog got out under our back gate - tiny space - it really msut've forced itself and I guess it made its way home. Apparently it lives somewhere on our street. But i haven't seen it roaming about!

6:40 am

Our cats are way to scared to go outside. I let them into the garden every now and then, but when they hear an unusual sound, they come rushing back inside again :).

6:40 am

the neighbor lives across the road from us, and the road is a very dangerous one - so they were really worried.

6:40 am

Glad Calamity is safe and I think Bella is too!

6:43 am

I can imagine that they were very worried, with a dangerous road so nearby. When we were living in our previous house, there was a dog wandering around. So I called the animal protection service and it turned out that the owner was neglecting the dog and that it ran off whenever it could. So sad...

6:45 am

down to 29 and need a refill.. anyone want an onion bagel while I'm up? brb ... well, Jommie, I don't think they neglect Calamity, but the dog didn't want to go home! It balked with they put him on a leash and had to be dragged off to the car.. sigh

6:46 am

Dogs roaming can have pretty serious consequences. We had a recent case of three Siberian huskies getting loose, worrying sheep etc. Result was two dogs shot dead by the farmer, one injured but later put down and two dead sheep plus the possibility of other sheep aborting. Pretty tragic all round.

6:46 am

40 left for tomorrow and it's time to stop. Thanks for the chat. Enjoy your days - I miss onion bagels, so I'd love one! Back tomorrow :)

6:47 am

An onion bagel sounds good! Would you like to have a cup of coffee in return? :) I hope that the owners can calm Calamity down, so he won't escape every time. Haz: that sounds really tragic indeed!

6:48 am

Bye lizlin, have a nice day!

6:48 am

I've got 65 to go, so I'm halfway there :).

6:51 am

Haz: Julian Clary http://tinyurl.com/a8m2tfl

6:55 am

Hello, Jommie

6:55 am

(-: ty, same to you BabbleRabble

6:58 am

Jobs today include killing fire ants and digging up cabbage palms that have invaded the grove.. so I'm gearing up for being destructive!

6:59 am

not too "pax" ful, lol

7:00 am

Well, the 'pax' can return afterwards :).

7:00 am

fire ants are fierce.

7:01 am

Lunch time for me. Enjoy the grid, bye for now!

7:01 am

and I have a lot of blisters because of them!

7:01 am

bye, Haz.. nice to see you

7:02 am

Bye Haz! Enjoy your lunch!

7:03 am

lots of snow for you, BabbleRabble?

7:04 am

I hope you get rid of the fire ants very soon, Aloy!

7:05 am

No, little snow.

7:05 am

no getting rid of them, Jommie... they just move their mounds.. but at least I can try to clear them from our yard so that I can weed and plant without getting attacked

7:05 am

nothing like being swarmed and stung by those boogers.. ugh

7:06 am

I tried a firecracker once .... the ants that survived were not pleased.

7:07 am

do you enjoy winter activities like skating and skiing and snowmobiling, BR?.... lol, I'm imagining blowing up a fire ant mound!

7:08 am

My major winter activity is changing my mind.

7:08 am

morning all.

7:08 am

Hello, peri.

7:08 am

Aloy, I made a mixed mushroom soup the other day. very good

7:08 am

ah so.. at least that is not hibernating! Howdy peri, good to see you.. mushroom soup sounds wonderful.. with portobellas?

7:09 am

with dried porcini, button, portobello and a small amt of of various mushroom that came in a pack.

7:09 am

Wow, blowing up an ant mound must be very spectacular :).

7:09 am

Hi BR!

8:03 am

8:03 am

How did your mom checkup go car?

8:03 am

She is fine. Healing well, but still has more to go.

8:04 am

Hello, car. Hope you escape the flu.

8:04 am

Yes, I knew she still had a ways to go, glad she is doing well.

8:04 am

Well, Zack has it now. NOt the flu though...more the sore throat, cough and fever thing.

8:05 am

My mother spent two days in the hospital as a precaution ... she is way better now.

8:05 am

Oh! I am so glad to hear that BR!

8:05 am

Glad to hear it BR. Flu is very nasty this year.

8:06 am

8:09 am

good morning everyone

8:09 am

I clued this one before but what the hey? de6/39 -- phonetically pointing at the kitchen fixture used to wash dishes.

8:09 am

Hey mael

8:10 am

hello mael!

8:10 am

LOL! TY again BR!

8:11 am

I just got some horrible news this morning, our friend's father was shot and killed on monday night. I don't even know how to process it.

8:11 am

Oh no! Mael! I am so sorry to hear that.

8:13 am

Wow, Mael so sorry

8:13 am

he had three kids, a grandkid on the way, had worked his ass off for twenty years in his convenience store, and someon tried to rob the place and shot him. It doesn't even make sense

8:14 am

Thanks BR...took me a minute, but I got it :)

8:14 am

That's terrible news, mael! Sorry to hear that!

8:14 am

Did they catch the person?

8:14 am

yeah, last night

8:15 am

he had security cameras up

8:15 am

Mael...are you in the Boston area? I heard something very similar to this on the news this morning.

8:15 am

yeah, we are, and his son and daughter, our friends, live here too. But our friend's dad was in Virginia.

8:16 am

Oh how strange. I am so sorry for you and your friends. {{hugs}}

8:16 am

Oh so this happened in VA?

8:16 am

Good morning, everyone.

8:16 am

yeah, near Richmond

8:17 am

Hello trentsnana

8:17 am

That is so sad, mael. If it weren't for greed, this world would be perfect.

8:17 am

thanks, car. I just don't have the words to tell them anything. Losing parents to illness or accident I understand, it happened to me, but gun violence?

8:18 am

So sorry, rough enough losing a parent

8:18 am

Senseless deaths are never easy to process.

8:19 am

There really aren't words mael, just be there for them is all you can do.

8:19 am

Not the it helps much at this point and time, but at least they caught the person.

8:20 am

*that

8:20 am

yeah, we'll do our best to be there for them. And that it a comfort, catching the perp at least brings a little more closure

8:21 am

Yes, later that will mean alot.

8:23 am

I had a niece who was robbed and severly beaten during a robbery. They finally caught the person. However it took 3 weeks and that time was nerve racking. Just knowing he was still out there.

8:23 am

and time helps everything. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring down the chat like this, it's just that we just found out. I'm sorry smores, that's horrible! Is she better now?

8:24 am

Yes, mael, thank you. This was several years ago.

8:25 am

np mael, It helps to share

8:26 am

I'm glad to hear that she's okay, and I really hope whoever did that to her is still rotting in jail

8:27 am

Yes, yes they are. Armed robbery and attempted murder conviction. Showed no remorse so the judge gave him the max. 30year

8:27 am

and good riddance to bad rubbish.

8:28 am

I on't understand why a person would show no remorse. Isn't it in their self interest. Must be a sociopath

8:28 am

She is fine now, tok a long time though to heal emotionally.

8:28 am

I can only imagine

8:29 am

Agree bichon, but glad he didn't

8:30 am

I will keep your friends in prayer mael..they have a long road ahead

8:30 am

thank you, smores

8:35 am

sorry to change the subject. Is anyone else finding this grid inscrutable?

8:35 am

I've had to peek at the list way earlier than usual

8:36 am

finding words is like pulling teeth!

yes. yes i is.

Hello, Une ..... how is the old bowser doing today?

Ii'm a pale 62!

9:14 am

hey BR -- she's recovering from taking a doggie sedative

9:14 am

we had tornado sirens beginning at 3:00am!

9:15 am

guernsey LOL

9:15 am

hey guys

9:15 am

hey, rows :-)

Hi rows

9:16 am

how is everyone? this feels like a slow puzzle

The last 40 are the worst

9:17 am

haha i have 70 left

9:17 am

hello g'morning hello hello

9:17 am

howdy, hursh!

Hello hurshy

9:18 am

say, hursh, nobody responsed to my question: Who is the debonaire gentleman in the grid who sang Some Enchanted Evening in the movie South Pacific?

9:18 am

*responded

9:18 am

err... ummmm....

9:18 am

*debonnaire

9:19 am

i think you were right the first time, one n debonaire

9:19 am

Pinza

9:19 am

yes!! Ezio Pinza!

9:19 am

i have seen that movie... once... a long time ago...

9:19 am

and it's debonair

9:19 am

ding ding ding for erda!

9:19 am

hursh, i'm in a coma after being awakened at 3:00 by tornado sirens :-)

9:19 am

ah yes that looks better

9:19 am

Thank you hurshy!

9:20 am

i like the word debonair

9:20 am

it's not used often enough

What do you do when you hear them une?

9:20 am

thought it was so cool that his first name AND last name are in the grid!

9:20 am

ah well at least you're not dead from a tornado!

9:20 am

then again, i guess there aren't so many men who qualify to be described that way anymore...

9:21 am

i think george clooney is debonair

9:21 am

SpellZone says debonnaire is also accepted :-)

9:21 am

i agree, hursh

9:22 am

and Jeremy Irons . . .

9:22 am

Yes!!! on Clooney

9:22 am

You are not that close to water, Une. Must be good sirens to lure sailors from a distance.

9:22 am

maybe rupert everett

9:22 am

close to water? I didn't say it was a hurricane . . . a tornado! LOL

9:23 am

yes, hursh!!!

9:23 am

you talked of sirens too

9:23 am

i think brabble is making a joke referencing the sirens of myth, the women who sing and lure sailors...

9:23 am

TN has tornadoes every spring and fall . . . fortunately they rarely touch down in Nashville

9:24 am

oh, right, sorry, BR -- i'm in a total stupor

9:24 am

i'm real jittery at the mo

9:24 am

Did you sniff the same stuff your dog did?

9:24 am

hmm i wouldn't mind a typhoon right about now

9:24 am

that would mean i wouldn't have to work tomorrow and could start my holiday early

9:25 am

help with the z's?

9:25 am

no, no doggie downers for me -- it's just that i sleep so very little that cutting it down to 2 hours is rough! LOL

9:25 am

metalic element

9:25 am

zi4 metal

9:25 am

like a metalic element

9:26 am

well the 6 is weirdish but i did ought to have got the 4

9:26 am

since i do take it frequently

9:27 am

de 6/39 --- pointing at the fixture dishes are washed in ... sort of

9:27 am

lol thanks

9:27 am

hello everyone

9:28 am

yeah i'm not getting the z6 :/

9:28 am

Hello, Annie

9:28 am

hey, annie!

9:28 am

you just have to add an adjectival ending, rows. it's weird.

9:28 am

Hi BR!

9:28 am

HA! That was funny for the de 6

Z6 remove the z4

9:28 am

oh strange

9:28 am

i got it

9:28 am

Hi Une, Hows the doggies? I just love the calendar

9:29 am

yeah, i'm not quite sure how one can actually de6

9:29 am

great clue, BR!

9:29 am

Yes, great clue

9:30 am

hey, Annie -- earlier in the chog I mentioned that Shelby (in icon) had to take a doggie sedative when the tornado sirens went off at 3:00am and STAYED blaring

9:30 am

We just had another power failure, power back on but the elevators are out and I don't feel like walking down 24 floors.

9:30 am

OMG, annie -- so sorry!!

9:31 am

Une, Ugh nasty sound but lifesaving when needed

9:31 am

kinda creeps me out....anyone read the Passage or The Twelve? lots of power outages and icky stuff

9:31 am

Hi All

9:31 am

I lucked out -- no power outage, no trees down . . .

9:31 am

howdy, hego :-)

9:31 am

Saw BR's last clue. Very good.

9:31 am

hi hego

9:31 am

no power outage here... just pollution

9:31 am

Hi Une

9:31 am

20 miles east of Nashville they had 100 mph winds

9:31 am

and Annie

9:32 am

I have to give my peke a doggie sedative...she is a freakish mess with fireworks, thunder etc. vet told me to use benedryl. cheaper and the same thing

9:32 am

I was supposed to visit a friend today who is not doing so great..I dunno...going to see if the elevators are up and running

9:32 am

same with Shelby -- thunder, lightning, fireworks, vacuum cleaners . . . :-)

9:32 am

are they still having a problem Annie?

9:32 am

actually i didn't get BR's clue, maybe i'm just too tired :/

9:33 am

Think of Tattoo from Fantasy Island. Maybe that will help. What he said when the guests arrived

9:33 am

wurdy, i was thinking the same thing! LOL

9:33 am

man, that actually is something to think about... if the elevators in my building stopped working i'd be kinda screwed as far as going out and coming back

9:33 am

lol great minds

9:33 am

that would suck

For z6, use a prefix that means to remove.

9:34 am

also i don't know what tattoo from fantasy island means

9:34 am

:/

For de6, i mean

9:34 am

de + the metallic element

9:34 am

oh lol

9:34 am

thanks

9:35 am

light bulb moment! : )

9:35 am

if you can be dainty, why is daint not a word?

9:36 am

9:36 am

dainty: having daint

9:36 am

rows, you have a lot of sill

9:37 am

thank you!

9:54 am

hi, all. I posted in the chog a few days ago that my oldest brother is in the ICU. He is still therer, but they took him off the ventilator yesterday and gave him an oxygen mask instead. He is breathing on his own with minimal support from the oxygen; he is awake and able to talk a little. We are counting this as a miracle. He was very close to death last week.

9:54 am

that's good angel... how old is he

9:54 am

I am very glad to hear that, angel

9:55 am

wonderful news Angel, and good morning everyone

9:55 am

aha got the other ta7!

9:55 am

hurshy, he is six weeks shy of being eleven months older than I am. He just turned 58.

9:56 am

what was wrong with him? try to get him out of the ICU as soon as possible, that's a bad place for people, they get real depressed and whatnot.

9:56 am

re --- put another coat of latex on the wall.

Hi EvaN! How are you (haven't seen you for a while)

11:38 am

I have NaN+ hours left?

11:38 am

oops... there we go,,, 12 + hours

11:38 am

doing well. been quite busy with work. i stop by now and then. :)

11:38 am

that's right gemina

11:39 am

nice to see you again.

11:39 am

and you as well. :)

11:40 am

this was a stupid, wasted day. The most productive thing I did was get 50 words in here.....

11:41 am

hiya eva

11:41 am

ARGH! Can't chat in word box or enter words in chog; too many rules......

11:41 am

what's wrong, ruby?

11:41 am

*Pats Ruby on the head and fixes her a drink*

11:41 am

I thought argh was spelled with 2 a's and 2 h's but what do I know

11:42 am

is that another rule, ruby? ;-)

11:42 am

the technician was here again, working on the fridge. It may be a lost cause, have already spent close to $300 on it

11:42 am

I can't spell either today it seems

11:42 am

hahah, nef

11:43 am

{{molly}}

11:43 am

oh, my, ruby. It might be easier to buy a new one at that price!

11:44 am

nothing like throwing good money after bad. Besides what I've spent on the repairman, I've had to buy a little fridge for the pantry and a small freezer for the garage.

11:44 am

what do they say, "In for a penny, in for a pound"

11:45 am

(((ruby))) you don't need that headache, do you?

11:45 am

with 300 already into it,you may as well cough up another 200..if that will get it done

11:45 am

<---Gets very frustrated with temperamental appliances

11:46 am

any more than that then kiss the 300 goodbye and scrap the thing

11:46 am

it's all very annoying and GE no longer does biz in France, so it's impossible to get the parts

11:46 am

it has started making a (new) funny noise but if I give it a smack, the noise stops

11:47 am

to me, that's all the more reason to get a new one. Too many headaches

11:47 am

Sounds like a loose thingy

11:47 am

how do you say that in French, Molly?

11:47 am

Greetings, Babblers!

11:47 am

I agree with Nef. I wouldn't put any more money into it either.

11:47 am

lol@ loose thingy

11:47 am

todays lunch: homemade "buffalo chicken salad" on a potato roll and a salad consisting of "romaine, water chestnuts, kidney beans, pickled beats, carrots, and blue cheese dressing and a cherry coke zero. :)

11:49 am

hiya crosshair

11:49 am

You lost me at "pickled beets" Eva.

11:49 am

i never used to be a fan, molly... but ive found i like tossing a few on my salad for a little sweetness

11:49 am

I need to either chat or work the puzzle. I just can't multitask well today

11:50 am

MMM! Beets!

11:50 am

(it sounds yummy, EvaN)

11:50 am

<-- loves beets but not with all the other stuff

11:52 am

My regular old salad lays untouched on my desk, as people keep feeling the need to meander up to my desk and discuss the minutiae of their life. *Sigh*

11:52 am

my homemade buffalo chicken salad helps curb my cravings for wings without being TOO indulgent. :)

11:53 am

because of my rough day I made my pecan/butter/brown sugar and sea salt treat

11:53 am

its times like that, molly, that i appreciate having a door. people reevaluate what they came to discuss with you when they are confronted with the need to knock.

11:53 am

buffalo chicken salad.... nom nom nom. recipe link please

11:53 am

it takes the sting out!

11:53 am

sounds lovely, ruby!

11:53 am

it's a delicious killer, eva!

11:53 am

oh wait i scrolled down

11:54 am

hello LeslieAnn

11:54 am

No, that is not the recipe for buffalo chicken salad.

11:54 am

EvaN, I saw your pictures! You look gorgeous (both before and after) Very nice! :-)

11:55 am

11:57 am

11:57 am

Long urls also contain injected \n's that make them hard to copy and paste

11:58 am

I'm on WW now too. I put 15 pounds on last Feb. when DH had back surgery twice (once emergently) and through his rehab. Since both of us needed surgery (mine was just on my hand; his was another back surgery) I decided that that was enough so I was proactive first.

11:58 am

eh i know to look for the /n now

11:58 am

afraid to post-n-run, but its meeting time for me. :)

11:58 am

1:46 pm

bye poodle!

1:53 pm

<---nbt/nbs...finally

1:54 pm

wtg, Jilly. I was only going to go half way today; I have 50 words left (maybe I should just finsih the grid instead of doing other things now)

1:57 pm

I think you should...

1:58 pm

okay. :-) but darn! I really need to vacuum too......

1:59 pm

Want versus need?

2:00 pm

to vacuum, I'd need to pick up the papers I've been sorting on the floor; to pick them up I shouldcontinue filing them; to file them I'll also need to punch holes in the ones that belong in binders; etc.

2:01 pm

that sounds like a slippery slope nef, better stay here

2:01 pm

these are all needs (unfortunately)

2:01 pm

it's very slippery, LA. That's why I'm staying here on Babble! :-D

2:03 pm

And I "should" review my notes for ChildBirth Ed tonight (I'm teaching it)

2:05 pm

but I won't do that either til I'm done.

2:06 pm

Nef, I swear, you are the busiest woman I know.

2:07 pm

not really, Molly. I should have filed stuff as it came in these past 2 months and I didn't. SO I made my own work harder.

2:08 pm

LOL...I am in that situation on a regular basis...but that is why I am cutting back on things...can't spend all my time running at the edge of deadllines!

2:09 pm

Sometimes it seems that deadlines are what keeps me moving! :-D

2:11 pm

Ah hello all. Speaking of living on the edge, I worked at home all morning and then took a "break" to sort through my downstairs neighbor's jewelry (she passed away on Saturday and her son asked me to sift through the chaff to find the wheat - not all that much wheat!) when my phone rang at 4:45. "Where are you?" I had spaced out that I had a 4:30 meeting on the other side of town - during rush hour - in the rain!!!

2:12 pm

I'm going to get to half way and then finish a few things...

2:12 pm

oh, Mich! Did you miss the meeting?

2:13 pm

Yipes mich!! How dreadful...(admits to occasional missed meetings myself-but no rush hour here)

2:13 pm

I flew there and managed to "only" be an hour late. It was a three hour meeting so all was forgiven.

2:15 pm

oh, wow! I'm glad you made it; but that's an awful feeling

2:16 pm

totally, and of course I flew out of the house "as is" in my comfy unflattering home clothes

2:17 pm

LOL! Hopefully not your housecoat and jammies!

2:18 pm

No, not that bad. On principle I don't walk around in housecoats & jammies, but a pretty ugly skirt and none to clean sweater.

2:20 pm

I'm a lazy butt in the AM. I stay in my robe and jammies til about 9 or 10 these days (usually up by 7 or 8 at the latest though

2:21 pm

Friday I have to actually BE at work by 6:30 though to run the New OB Clinic all day. Not really looking forward to it right now; but once I get there it will be okay.

2:22 pm

Well, I am awake by 6 or 7, sometimes I'll drift off again until almost 8 but I don't actually get up and dressed right away. My disability makes it especially hard for me in the morning, so I usually sip coffee and make phone calls from bed, but once I'm up I'm dressed - full job - with make up!

2:22 pm

<----has to be up at 5 and to work by 6:45 or 7 every day...*sigh*

2:23 pm

--- new member of the working forcer

2:23 pm

Make Up?? Wow! I'm impressed!

2:23 pm

Hi cosdem. What's your new job?

2:23 pm

inventory and ordering for 7-11 franchise. just two 4 hour shifts a week but.. its something!

2:24 pm

Oh don't be impressed, it keeps me sane. Being overweight, in a wheelchair and hitting 50 was hard enough - I needed to somehow hold it all together.

2:24 pm

cos, did you get that hearing impaired support job you talked about?

2:24 pm

Congrats,cos!

2:24 pm

no they havent announced the openings yet.. so im waiting..

2:24 pm

Great news Cos - I am so happy for you! Right now my paid work is also only 8 hours a week, but I am busy all the time anyway.

2:24 pm

thanks nef!

2:24 pm

Oh.guess not..sounds good and congrats cos

2:25 pm

right. it gets me out of the house for 8 hours a week :)

2:25 pm

Mich, I don't think I've ever worn makeup to work. I only wear (and wore) it for special events.

2:25 pm

ive worn make up to work in the past lol (concealor)

2:26 pm

<---has to put up with people asking if I am OK when I don't wear makeup

2:27 pm

I spent 6 months in the hospital when I became disabled and found it would have been so easy to slip into poor me, slob mode so I started wearing a bit every day, now that I'm older, I feel ugly and undressed without it.

2:27 pm

Oh Jilly, I totally relate!

2:28 pm

the Aunt that raised us didn't believe in using makeup other than lipstick; so none of us 4 girls ever got in the habit of using make up. I think I used to wear a little eyeshadow and under-eye concealer when I was working nights and had meetings to go to; but not often

2:29 pm

I was into the theatre as a young girl/teenager so I've been dabbling a bit my whole life. My mom came to me when she had somewhere "dressy" to go to.

2:31 pm

I know a gal who says no one would recognise her if she didn't wear make up. I rather doubt her; but then again, who knows?

2:32 pm

I actually know someone who puts on such a complete "face" that I truly didn't recognize her when I happened to see her without makeup. I try to look like me - just a wee bit better.

2:32 pm

Well, 50 left...bbl

2:32 pm

Back to the grid - I am stuck on the Z's, I must be staring at them but they are alluding me.

2:32 pm

Catch you later Jilly

2:34 pm

2:34 pm

looking...

2:34 pm

Bye Jilly; see you later!

2:35 pm

Bye Jilly. I am at an impasse with this grid today, 61 left and I cannot see a thing. Maybe it's time for an early night...

2:35 pm

Hiya Lynxxx, good morning to you too

3:11 pm

hi lyn

3:23 pm

Hello. Just getting started. Today has been slow after a busy Monday. I decided to make doughnuts and am glad to have completed that goal for today.

3:25 pm

hi Stidgmere....slow is good, we all need those days

3:26 pm

Hi lynxxx. Yes, this evening is orchestra rehearsal and I will take a nap later so as to be at my best form for the group.

3:26 pm

hi stidgmere

3:27 pm

Hi medusa. Hope your day has gone well. Is it still cold in Great Britain? I have a friend who wrote about the winter weather.

3:28 pm

it is still cold but i love cold so all is good. had a busy day as i did shopping and went to a group i go to

3:28 pm

Finished - there was some pretty odd words in my last 10. Hint for those just starting - a 10th of the words have 'how old you are' at the end or near the end of them. Must run - Bye

3:29 pm

By lynxxx. Thanks for the clues.

3:29 pm

bye lyn

3:30 pm

How nice you got out and about medusa. I need to look for a new coat. My old coat is still just as cozy as ever but not fresh. So that will be my next shopping trip.

3:30 pm

i have a new coat i have had for a while but not fit in! i will one day

3:33 pm

Have you noticed, maybe not in GB, but around here in the great Northwest, how many coats are black?

3:34 pm

i have noticed that here but they are usually in a style i dont like! the one i have that is a bit tight is red but the one i am wearin is black

3:35 pm

Aha, so it is probably a real world-wide trend for coats. I like something cheery or a little bright.

3:36 pm

i like black but just fancied something different. was hard to find the red one though#!

3:36 pm

co

3:36 pm

co? peri?

3:37 pm

ooops

3:37 pm

Fast fingers, I think peri.

3:37 pm

most of my coats are black too. they only came in black. But I did manage to get a purple parka last year and a blue jacket

3:38 pm

sorry to but in but I agree with you medusa ... I have been trying to find somewhere who sells a RED coat .. it seems impossible!!!!

3:39 pm

my raincoat is black and I really want one in a bright color. have looked everywhere and have not found one

3:39 pm

I have a red dress coat. But it was my Mom's.

3:39 pm

I may have to wait until colors become available again.

3:41 pm

I would love a pair of green shoes too ,but can I find any anywhere ... noooo.

3:42 pm

I want a pair of red shoes

3:42 pm

my rain boots have bright colors at least

3:42 pm

my rain boots have bright colors at least

3:43 pm

peri .. you can have mine if you have big feet .. lol

3:43 pm

I wear a 9/12 or 10

3:43 pm

4:51 pm

((((sue)))). Thanks for your lovely comments on my Dad's pic!! He is one amazing guy.

4:51 pm

hi soodle! He really does look great.

4:53 pm

FB soodle?

4:53 pm

For non Facebookers, Dad celebrated his 85th birthday yesterday. I put up a pic of an alarmingly youthful 85 year old, taken today!!

4:54 pm

Jilly, I'm pathetic at changing my icon, but I'm going to try.... Stand by....

4:55 pm

Just went there, he looks amazing..I should post one of my mom, she just turned 93...

4:55 pm

Soodle, we are FB friends...just don't always get your newfeed.

4:55 pm

My dad will be 92 on Easter...I need to give him a call!

4:58 pm

Viva aged parents!!!!

4:58 pm

<----mother is outdoing me....

5:00 pm

Lol Jilly!! I know the feeling!

5:01 pm

Can't change my pic, but will do, when an offspring makes themself available to help ,

5:02 pm

Jilly, Sue, are your parents in good health?

5:02 pm

But watching my mom and mil age, not so sure I should be working so hard to extend my age...old age has so many sad parts...

5:02 pm

Only my mom survives...

5:03 pm

How about you soodle?

5:05 pm

My Mom is 81, Jilly..and I have also come to that way of thinking, but ask me again when I'm 80!!!!!

5:06 pm

Well, MIL is 80, and has severe memory issues, my mom can't see or hear and ost all of her friends and siblings have died..just kinda sad

5:08 pm

Mother has smoked like a chimney since age 16, has enjoyed her 'drop of whiskey' nightly since age 24. My Dad has drank like a fish all his life. I think the pair of them are that exception that prove the rule.....

5:09 pm

Soodle, I just emailed you the picture right side to.

5:09 pm

?pickled well? LOL, not being mean soodle, just have been around the irish too long...

5:11 pm

Okay...need clue for the no6/24...

5:11 pm

Sorry, stepped away for a few.

5:11 pm

no6/24 ends in how old you are

5:11 pm

Hey Jilly, like I say, they are both still around to tell the tale....

5:13 pm

The whiskey makes one strong...

5:13 pm

ah, no6 actually describes my dad (or would if it were an adjective)

5:13 pm

You are allowed to step away Sue. You don't have to be sorry. : D

5:13 pm

Well, NOW it looks easy...ty Molly!

5:14 pm

Oh and Soodle, when you change the picture, change the full monty caption, unless there is something about your Da that we don't know.

5:14 pm

oh, I got some semi-good news today...

5:15 pm

...it turns out we have almost a month more to get moved than I thought we would. We have until the end of March, and the house should be ready March 1.

5:16 pm

Yay for good news. This place is full of bad news all the time. Yay for good news.

5:16 pm

Yay for good news!

5:17 pm

So that means we can move gradually (the new house is only about 1/2 mile away), which will be nice. I'll probably still hire movers for a few big things but it won't be quite as much of a rush as I was afraid it might be.

5:18 pm

Molly. Excuse me. Thank you for your help. Sorry for not thanking you earlier.

5:19 pm

uusue2, since I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your dad, what does that mean?

5:20 pm

he is in his 90s, kbckc

5:21 pm

longevity can be a wonderful thing! and that gave me the tip I needed. Thx.

5:21 pm

hi everyone, just passing through but stopped to say hello

5:21 pm

yw, kbckc, and hi annie!

5:21 pm

Hello ((((Annie))))

5:22 pm

hi sue, I read you are moving. Good luck in your new home.

5:22 pm

Hi (((Soodle)))

5:22 pm

thanks, annie!

5:22 pm

Short moves are really nice, gives one a chance to organize and all. When we bought this house was about 3 miles, we did like you with moving small stuff. Then DH dad, brother and MIL came, we moved the big stuff and had dinner in our new home that very night!

5:23 pm

hey guys.. any chance i can get a clue for CO5/14?

5:23 pm

Yes, that's pretty much the plan, Jill. I'm glad we will be able to spread it over 3-4 weeks.

5:23 pm

Alas, Dad is still sideways.

5:23 pm

im down to 5 so if anyone needs clues let me know

5:24 pm

Home moving ranks up there with bereavement & divorce in terms of stress, I hear!

5:33 pm

Slurp. Thank you Jilly.

5:33 pm

Dictionary definition of pe6: 1. a person who makes an excessive or inappropriate display of learning. 2. a person who overemphasizes rules or minor details. 3. a person who adheres rigidly to book knowledge without regard to common sense.

5:34 pm

I know people who fit all three :-)

5:34 pm

There are a lot of pe6s who play Babble : P

5:34 pm

ahhhhh *lightbulb*

5:35 pm

Did greedy, elbowing Soodle get her wine?

5:35 pm

tytyty-twisty is not good for me

5:35 pm

Judging by the slurp, I would say yes :-)

5:35 pm

*Raises eyebrow* A lady sits daintily and waits to be served.

5:36 pm

Soodle was being poured the glass of pi5/12 Molly

5:37 pm

Yes but by self admission, she elbowed everyone out of the way.

5:37 pm

Soodle is still holding our her empty wineglass.... And looking hopefully around the chog for a white-coated waiter to tend her needs...

5:37 pm

<----asks a cabana boy to come out from PB and pour soodle a glass...

5:37 pm

Also seeking a grape-peeler....

5:38 pm

*Sends the sommalier to Soodle*

5:38 pm

Ugh, sommelier

5:39 pm

Good luck with the grape peeler thing.

5:39 pm

LOL...

5:39 pm

Soodle fluffing out her greying hair, batting her mascarraed eyes, and keeping her aging fingers crossed.....

5:40 pm

and tummy tucked in too soodle...be a lady!

5:41 pm

Jilly!! If I tucked my tummy in any more, my belly button would fall out my backside.....

5:41 pm

This is like an episode of The Golden Girls.

5:41 pm

Or Shades of Gray...

5:42 pm

Um, no. I don't think 50 Shades Of Gray applies. No.

5:43 pm

Sheesh. I SO want to meet up with you guys in person!! I just know I would laugh the whole night long!!!

5:43 pm

Suppose not...how about "the graduate'?

5:43 pm

That would be so much fun!!

5:44 pm

Soodle, Dad is still sideways. What are you having trouble with?

5:44 pm

And heres to you, Mrs Dickinson, erm. Mrs Robinson....

5:45 pm

*hoping soodle can straighten up dad*

5:45 pm

Oh crap. We lost an Andrews Sister (Patty). She was 94. Happy trails Patty.

5:46 pm

Molly!! I know you are only going to get annoyed with me. When the offspring come home, it'll get fixed. Till then, live with it.

5:46 pm

She's with the bugle boy of company D! but what a loss!!

5:47 pm

Well, they are all 3 together on the other side now. Good boogie woogie there tonight.

6:05 pm

How about ai 6?

6:05 pm

Peri syndrome - I must carry on asking for clues - it seems to help!

6:05 pm

I just wish it worked on things like "Lottery jackpot please"

6:06 pm

Me too! Especially with the GBP / AUD exchange rate the way it is!

6:09 pm

Heading off to bed now. Before I logged in tonight I was unenthusiastic about Suzie's 18th. Now, I'm looking forward to it. Once again, thank you, Babble friends, for your perspective. Good night all. :-)

6:09 pm

Night Soodle. Wishing you happy dreams.

6:13 pm

Night soodle - sleep well :)

6:59 pm

hi all, back to find my last 27words

7:13 pm

not seeing the te5, help pls. it is my last word

7:14 pm

NM

te5 ter + abreviation for Altanta's state

oops te plus the abbreviation

lol never mind my first clue was right, sorry sleeping here lol

oh glad you got it! congrats

7:20 pm

The storm has been raging for about 20 minutes.....wind blowing rain sideways. Please send energy ......not too afraid right now but just saw where it flipped a tractor trailer.

7:20 pm

Une, were you affected by this monster?

sending prayers from Florida. can totally relate how scary it can be

7:22 pm

Dogs are staying very close.

7:23 pm

Une was on earlier saying that she has had storm troubles.

7:23 pm

Thank you grammaterri.

7:23 pm

Thank you grammaterri.

7:23 pm

Oh, thanks Molly. I do hope she is alright.

7:24 pm

Seemed like she was fine. Her dogs were freaking out though.

7:25 pm

I can understand that.

I have a 90 lb black lab that tries to jump in my lap in storms. she is so scared of everything tho. if someone tries to pet her when we go for a walk, she tries to jump in my arms

7:30 pm

I just had a mental flash of that. LOL! That is awhole lot of love there!

lol it sure is. I take her bye bye with me every where and usually she is fine sitting in the back seat. but tonight someone talked to her thru the cracked window and she literally jumped into my seat (the drivers seat) to get away from them. thankfully I was not driving!

I have a secure her in the seat type leash I probably will need to use from now on as she has done that before.

7:32 pm

We have tornado warnings around here, but mostly expecting heavy rain and high wind.

7:33 pm

Yes, that could cause real problems.

7:33 pm

I hope "warnings" is all you get from this, Molly.

fun stuff Molly, not.

7:34 pm

hi all

7:34 pm

*tied to post in living room*

hi Jmc. for sure Peach, but I don't want to quit taking her bye bye's. love her with me at all times. when I go to the bathroom, she tries to stick her paws under the door like my kids used to do with their hands lol

oh you have the wicked storms too?

7:36 pm

i am relatively near molls

7:37 pm

glad my flight was early enough to miss all of this although it took me as long to make the normally 20 minute drive from the airport to my house as it took to fly from Texas to Dulles

7:38 pm

Please keep us in your prayers, gramma.

7:38 pm

8:30 pm

Back for the last 17 words

8:32 pm

hi, everyone!

8:32 pm

Hi welki :)

8:34 pm

Liz! i 'saw' you online before your ceremony - congratulations on your new citizenship!

salmo..have you aced this yet?

8:35 pm

Thanks welki - Tbings have been very weird since then - floods etc. Were without power for several days - nothing compared to the people who suffered with Sandy of course!

8:37 pm

Hey there, welki.

8:37 pm

strange weather all over - i understand eastern Australia is having a bad time of it, too

8:37 pm

eaget

8:37 pm

and eastern US - and southern US - and we've had severe weather here, too - just a bad week

8:37 pm

Sorry.

8:38 pm

<- didn't see anything

8:38 pm

I heard about the Eastern US - we're in eastern Aus and caught the cyclone!

8:39 pm

I just hit the enter key sent word into chat.

8:39 pm

i thought you were in queensland

8:40 pm

QLD is eastern aux!

8:40 pm

aus!

8:40 pm

In fact I live an hour away from the most easterly point of the Aus mainland!

8:41 pm

ahhhh - my mistake. northeast.

8:41 pm

i'm nsw-centric :)

8:42 pm

The main damage from the cyclone was in Bundaberg - 5 hours from here but then the cyclone ripped through the rest of QLD and into Northern NSW

8:42 pm

i love geography/maps, and i'm ashamed i didn't know better

8:43 pm

i see it on the map - just south of gladstone (which happens to be the name of a once-great seaside restaurant in malibu)

8:44 pm

Well, we're on the Gold Coast - pretty lucky compared to many places!

LIz glad to see you haven't floated away

8:45 pm

But our beaches will need a lot of repair work and also there's been a lot of flooding nearby.

8:45 pm

you must be close to brisbane

8:45 pm

hi herin

8:45 pm

beaches all over the world have suffered big damage recently :(

8:45 pm

Hi herin! No - still here - without power for a few days and internet is weird at the mo - can't get to any news site, fb or flickr, amongst others!

8:46 pm

Hey there, herin.

8:46 pm

We're about 50 miles south of Brisbane (70 km)

8:46 pm

would you like me to post something on your page for you, liz?

Were are you?

8:46 pm

No thanks welki - thankfully skype and hotmail are fine, so I've been in contact with family etc.

8:47 pm

Also my phone was still quite charged, when power went and I was able to text my brother.

8:48 pm

On the Gold Coast - 12 km inland, herin - presuming that question was to me.

Never been to the Gold Coast. Up in the hinterlands Nosa yes

8:49 pm

Went to Noosa for a day last year, to visit family :)

My friend lives in the Cedar Grove area. He is so greatful the wind has died down

8:49 pm

8:59 pm

Indeed, Liz. Quite humbling.

9:00 pm

Oh no herin...does he usually do that?

9:02 pm

Herin, I have a dog that sometimes has trouble sleeping (just as I finally get sleepy)....I give half a, well, I can't think of the name, but is an antihistamine tab in peanut butter and he goes back to sleep.

9:02 pm

Alternative spelling to pi 6 / 30 - add a vowel

She definitely had the look, but her acting is awful. And her version of a Boston accent is laughable.

9:58 pm

Thank you for the pi 7/44 clue Lizlin. I just found the word

9:58 pm

the actress who plays Rose was very good I thought

9:58 pm

yw

9:58 pm

She is. And Kinnear as Kennedy is outstanding.

I am just having an issue with Tom Cruise ruining every single thing I like in a movie

9:59 pm

I have a friend who says the same thing, herin :)

9:59 pm

I am finished! I have fireworks! ta 7/36 was my final word.

10:01 pm

WooT WooT WooT minv!

Liz - he was fine in Interview with a Vampire as the story was complete different to the books any way but Reacher STEP the f away. Seriously the director was a total dick

10:06 pm

It's the Reacher movie that my friend was talking about - I've not read the books nor seen the movie yet but I gather he was the complete physical opposite! Didn't he have a large share in the film? I liked him in Top Gun and Interview with a Vampire!

Ok Reacher in the books is about 260 pounds and built like a line backer. Tom Cruise looks like an angry little leprocorn.

10:11 pm

Stupid casting - but as I said, I think Tom Cruise had quite a share in the finances or backing of the movie!

And he did have a huge share in the Finances.

Because I would have paid a lot of cash to see Chris Hemsworth in that role

10:12 pm

So why are we surprised that he's got the lead role!

10:12 pm

BBL - enjoy your afternoon, herin and in the US, enjoy your evenings :)

10:12 pm

I need help on the ta 7.36 pleae
