Good morning. Anyone out there to clue the i in the last column please?

3:06 am

Sorry, don't have it yet, Bilt.

3:07 am

ty gapeach :)

3:08 am

ia6 - ia plus most of what magicians perform for people, the ia8 is the adjectival form

3:10 am

ty Haz

3:10 am

You're welcome, Biltong, and good morning.

3:10 am

Excellent clues, Haz..thank you.

3:10 am

You're welcome, zooz, good morning.

3:11 am

Good morning zooz.

3:11 am

Good morning to you too. And to everyone.

3:11 am

How are you keeping Haz?

3:12 am

I'm fine - can't seem to get rid of a cough that's been lingering after a cold at Christmas but it'll go away eventually.

3:14 am

I hate the lingering hacking cough. Really wears you down...hope you can get rid of it soon.

3:15 am

It's not a hacking cough really, just kind of tickly now. Whatever the virus was, it really hung in for much longer than usual. On the bright side, no flu nor norovirus, so that's a bonus.

3:16 am

Are you still suffering, zooz?

3:16 am

Sorry to hear that. Hope it clears soon.

3:17 am

Thanks, Biltong.

3:18 am

Sort of, Haz. The main cold symptoms seem to of clear..but then got a ruddy big cold sore come up on my lip..been using zovirax to try and shift it..lol

3:20 am

Not nice!

3:21 am

Nothing drastic really..should be gone soon hopefully.

3:21 am

Was it you who reccomended zinc lozenges, Haz?

3:22 am

I hope you feel better soon zooz. Cold sores are nasty.

3:23 am

I know, Biltong, Have not been out of the house for two days as it looks grusome..lol

3:23 am

*gruesome

3:25 am

I think hurshy is keen on zinc.

3:26 am

Ahh yes it could well of been, Hurshy then.

3:27 am

I think Zovirax is quite effective if you can get it right at the first sign of a cold sore, just when the tingling starts.

3:30 am

Yes i agree..but i was not too sure and left it a bit too late..but next time i will be ready..lol

3:31 am

Yes, don't give it the benefit of the doubt, zap it!

3:37 am

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly find anymore c's, I found 3 :)

3:37 am

Just saying hi as I am only here for 5 minutes

3:37 am

lare

3:38 am

is that even a word? sorry

3:38 am

Hello, lynxxx.

3:38 am

Hello, Lynxxx!

3:38 am

You're okay, it's not PB worthy at all.

3:38 am

Hello, lynxxx

3:38 am

No you were safe with that one..lol

3:39 am

I'll try to do better next time

3:41 am

byee

3:41 am

Toodle-oo, lynxx, have a good evening.

3:41 am

Take care, Lynxxx.

3:41 am

bye, lynxxx

4:13 am

hello again

4:14 am

Hello, Ruby!

4:14 am

Hello, Ruby

4:14 am

Good morning, Ruby.

4:15 am

I have to get ready to go shopping. See you later!

4:15 am

Have a good day, Haz.

4:15 am

Bye, Haz. Enjoy your shopping.

4:16 am

hi and bye haz

4:16 am

{{zoozz}}

4:16 am

It's grocery shopping. Not very interesting, I'm afraid. But we have to eat! Bye for now...

4:16 am

hello biltong, is it cold and windy there?

4:16 am

eating is overrated

4:19 am

It is cold and a little windy. Winds were bad earlier in the week. Bright sunshine this morning (so far) :)

4:19 am

good, that means we might actually get some sunshine in 2 days

4:19 am

it has been very dark

4:20 am

Let's hope, Ruby.

4:21 am

<-- can't wait for Spring!

4:22 am

Yes, same here. Had enough of these wet, grey, windy days ... lol

4:23 am

we are between the lake and the mountains and there is often a dense cloud over the lake but if you go up 1000 ft, there is sunshine

4:23 am

for me, the wind is the worst and the star-shaped mud pawprints of my pups

Hey there, Biltong :) 31 degrees here today and sunny... Feeling homesick? LOL

4:26 am

The wind and the rain is the worst. I can still put up with the grey skies and low temperatures.

4:27 am

lucky Lorrie!

4:28 am

Hello Lorrie! Sooooo homesick! lol

It is actually a little too humid for me, but the sun is shining, so all forgiven :)

4:30 am

ALL is forgiven when the sun shines, lol.

4:30 am

I think we've had one sunny day in the last 2 months

4:32 am

Ruby, seems your weather is worse than ours here in the U.K.?

4:32 am

different and more different each year. We had a lot more snow 15 yrs ago, when we arrived

4:33 am

the only bad thing is windstorms which have to do with the lake and being in this long valley, like a wind tunnel

4:33 am

What I wouldn't give to just hang up my washing outside in the sunshine "sigh".

4:34 am

off to lunch now, see you later

4:34 am

Bye, Ruby. Enjoy your lunch :)

4:34 am

Bye, Ruby.

4:36 am

Clue for the sc8/45 please? Just can't see it.

4:37 am

Bye for now, Biltong, keep warm and dry :)

5:31 am

Phantom :Predated.

5:54 am

5:57 am

*Hear

5:57 am

thanks, guys

6:04 am

we are celebrating my daughter's birthday today (tomorrow being the actual date). She is 15! I am kind of mystified about what happened in between her being a little girl and her being almost grown up.

6:04 am

How lovely, Happy Birthday!!

6:05 am

Have you planned anything special?

6:05 am

Save a piece of cake for us babblers..lol

6:06 am

actually, she did, lol. Since she had her birthday in a weekend, she wanted to have her friends sleeping over tonight. So this morning we did breakfast, with presents. And tonight her friends come and they will be watching movies and giggling and talking all night. And eating. And having a fire in the garden to roast their marshmellows over.

6:06 am

hey everyone (yawn)

6:06 am

will do zooz :D

6:07 am

hi smores, good morning to you

6:07 am

nice party and hi smores

6:07 am

Sounds like it will be a great day/evening for her.

6:07 am

Hello, Smores.

6:07 am

lol...teenage girls is why I'm yawning

6:08 am

I think and hope so too, zooz.

6:08 am

ah, grin. Yeah, they will be little zombies tomorrow morning. And moody to boot. But content, I think.

6:08 am

was up until after 4am...then a cat just woke me up

6:08 am

ouch smores.

6:09 am

not much sleep for you, smores

6:09 am

on a side note: Haz has put a warning in her profile about the JC imposter(s). A very good head's up.

6:09 am

sadly no...

6:10 am

Yes, I read it in her profile. Babblers should re4 it.

6:10 am

I read that the other day..I think, is this new?

6:11 am

I agree. No, it is not new, but she updated it with a few more details

6:11 am

Yes i did see it..i also checked out the archive dates she suggested about someone called lemoned i think.

6:11 am

I'll check it out again later

6:11 am

I think it all stems from a babbler called MikeyinBerlin

6:12 am

yep, she thinks LEMONed might have been the first JC. Or someone like him.

6:12 am

{{annie}} are you still here

6:12 am

yes, ruby, I am

6:12 am

and {{sp****}} in the grid

6:12 am

basically, if we steer clear from real drama queens, we should be ok ;)

6:12 am

{ruby}

6:13 am

Sad as it seems.. best to always air on the side of caution when it comes to the internet.

6:13 am

hello ruby *hug* Waiting for your email... whenever you have time and energy, hun.

6:13 am

good advice, sprite

6:14 am

ruby, are you keeping warm?

6:14 am

Although i did send money via babble to a babbler whos husband had died...the money was for flowers.

6:14 am

Not jusy me may i add.

6:15 am

zooz, that all went fine. That was for Jellen and she got flowers, and a sweet cuddly bear, and the rest of the money in a voucher.

6:15 am

and I'm not a drama queen? or at least drama princess? lol

6:15 am

Thats right, Sprite.

6:15 am

LOL Ruby.

6:15 am

just read back...I knew you were in the grid sp5, but your dog is also? That's funny...what's his name?

6:16 am

((RUBY)) you are royalty.

6:16 am

xxannie

6:16 am

:) ruby

6:16 am

I saw sp**** but missed te***

6:16 am

ruby, a real drama queen doesn't know when to stop, details about their personal life tend to become more and more incredible, and this JC person also became vicious at the slightest sign of critic.

6:17 am

smores: te5/10 is our dog. As in cotta.

6:17 am

when monies were sent to mrp, the money went awry. that cured me about sending money unless i am absolutely sure it will end up where it is supposed to go.

6:17 am

I missed the whole |JC| thing but was aware of NancyBoy (shared the name) and never liked him.....

6:17 am

yeah, that was the same guy.

6:17 am

yes, Lisa Juarez in Austin was blamed, bu I think mrp was a fabulist or worse!

6:18 am

lol...I have that sprite...didn't know it was your dogs' name though

6:18 am

ruby, I agree, I agree.

6:19 am

one night, many of us sat up with mrp, as she was being "attacked" or something and was threatening suicide. Nuts!!!!

6:19 am

I missed all of this, which is fine by me

6:19 am

it kind of depends, for me. Who organises it, for instance, and through which medium. There was this well organised site that was used for Jellen and someone trustworthy was doing the organisation, and it went perfectly. I didn't chip in for mrP.

6:19 am

lucky smores

6:20 am

we all knew jellen and went through the whole awful fast demise of Tim, her fiancee, but that was different. She never behaved dramatically; it was just very sad

6:20 am

smores, you missed nothing, grin

6:20 am

many of us were taken in by NB and by mrp

6:21 am

Jellen never made it into a drama. Though it was very tragic. I think we did well as a community there.

6:21 am

Well i can't talk as i too threatened to commit suicide on here..thank goodness i am over that now.

6:21 am

That is sad about Jellen, how long ago was this?

6:22 am

aww..zooz {hugs}

6:22 am

I remember that zoozz; but we loved you and you NEVER overdramatized; we just felt your sadness and despair

6:22 am

zooz, that was not being dramatic. That was real and true and we needed to be there for you.

6:22 am

((Zooz)) past history and finished.

6:22 am

So is mrp fake then?

6:22 am

a couple of years already, smores. Time flies.

6:22 am

I think she's a crazy lady

6:23 am

no, mrP is a real person. Just very dramatic about her life.

6:23 am

And i was and still am very greatful for you all being there when i was crying for help.

6:23 am

and zoozz gives great cluez

6:23 am

really, I thought mrp was a guy

6:23 am

LOL ruby

6:23 am

this group has helped me through some nsty sh**

6:23 am

No mrp is a female.

6:23 am

*hugs zooz* You are a beautiful person, zooz, and we are lucky to have you as part of this community.

6:23 am

nasty*

6:24 am

lickety's wife

6:24 am

oh ruby, before I forget, I sent you an email

6:24 am

I agree with sprite.

6:24 am

I've only had one person, in all this time, mock me when things got out of hand around here

6:24 am

and I answered, smores

6:25 am

shame on them

6:25 am

as internet communities go, ruby, that is about as close to heaven as it gets.

6:25 am

NB, however, said that when my husband was attacked by the awful dog, it was not the dog's fault!

6:26 am

hiya hursh!

6:26 am

sprite and I have angel-dogs, te*** and ruby and rufie

6:26 am

Hello, Hurshy.

6:26 am

there are truly bad dogs and once they taste human flesh, they should be put down, no matter why they are "bad"

6:27 am

well, I must say I do blame the owners and not the dog. Too bad there is a law about putting down bad owners.

6:27 am

against, not about. Sorry.

6:27 am

ok, I'll check later

6:27 am

hi, did most of the grid in the night during insomnia

6:28 am

hurshy needs insomnia cures!

6:28 am

poor hursh :( It stinks not being able to sleep.

6:28 am

Oh dear..another babbler who cannot sleep at night.

6:28 am

oh well, at least it's saturday!

6:28 am

lol....there seems to be alot of us

6:28 am

YaY

6:28 am

yeah we have loads of them. Insomniacs I mean. Which is sad, but also a bit happy because we always find good company here.

6:29 am

hi all

6:29 am

it depends. If you have the dog from the beginning, it's one thing. But the dog that attacked my husband was a beautiful beauceron but was in a pound until he was 5 and then was adopted. I wonder 1) why he had been put in the pound and 2) why he wasn't under control in the road

6:29 am

hi medusa :)

6:29 am

i have sleep problems too!

6:29 am

<-- loves Xanax, removes sleep problems

6:29 am

hi medusa, you are not alone here

6:29 am

i think insomnia is under-researched.

6:29 am

Hurshy..i asked at the chemist for zinc lozenges..but they only had zinc-ace tablets..so went for that as no alternatives were available.

6:30 am

I agree ruby, although I also agree with sprite, it is usually the owners fault

6:30 am

Hello, Medusa.

6:30 am

are they chalkY zoom? are they meant to be taken daily or as needed?

6:30 am

everybody should keep a copy of Moby Dick next to the bed!

6:30 am

LOL

6:30 am

dogs must be well-bred, well-socialed and well-raised. Only humans can do that for them. So we should.

6:31 am

good idea ruby

6:31 am

or the bible in old english.

6:31 am

They do look chalky & yes they are daily..by a company called Wassen.

6:31 am

when I googled beaucerons, it said that their early socialization was absolutely critical and that they did not make good house pets. The Nazis used them to guard the camps!

6:31 am

:)

6:31 am

but you just swallow them?

6:32 am

Yes i'm afraid so :-(

6:32 am

eek ruby

6:32 am

ah well maybe you can try other chemists. something about the zinc getting absorbed right into the throat, has always seemed to me to make the difference.

6:33 am

Morning, all!

6:33 am

that is hardly the dogs' fault, though. One can use dogs for very evil things, but still it is the humans that are to blame.

6:33 am

hi Mimi :D

6:33 am

{{mimi}}

6:33 am

hi mimi

6:33 am

I will try..but this was from boots the biggest chemist on the island.

6:33 am

hi Mimi

6:33 am

{ruby}

6:33 am

Hi, Annie and Medusa!

6:34 am

wonder if a health shop like holland & barret would do them.

6:34 am

order online? http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod\n.asp?pid=34714&catid=184155&aid=338666\n&aparam=goobase_filler

6:34 am

the beauceron is still alive but his owner has met his maker (unless he's in the pound) lol

6:34 am

yeah health shops might be good to try

6:34 am

zooz, you may try the internet. I don't know what you need, but ordering online is a great way to go nowadays.

6:34 am

pounds for bad owners... I might go for that :)

6:35 am

I will try your link, Hurshy.

6:35 am

I cannot tolerate people who do not take care of their precious animals.

6:35 am

finally quashed the q's, took me al day

6:35 am

like the sound of pounds for bad owners.

6:35 am

My friends tell me they want to be reincarnated as my pets!

6:36 am

time for a lie-down and the NYT puzzle

6:36 am

lovely to see all of my babble friends!!!!

6:36 am

uh-oh, hurshy didn't tinyURL and messed up the grid... Zooz, you will need to remove some stuff from that link for it to work. Back-slash and letter.

6:36 am

Bye, ruby!

6:36 am

bye ruby. Still need one Q here.

6:36 am

enjoy the paper and your rest, bye ((ruby))

6:36 am

or maybe they should be shut in a room with the animals they have misstreated and have the animals turn on them

6:36 am

had to let the silly cat back in

6:36 am

Ruby gets 1 1/2 hr massages every night and I think it's helping her. It would help me, too, but it's not happening!!!!

6:36 am

{smores}

6:37 am

medusa... I would be sorry for the animals to have to become vicious. But I agree on principle :)

6:37 am

Hey Mimi :)

6:37 am

medusa :)

6:37 am

<-- loves silly cats and dopy dogs!

6:37 am

thats was my point sprite. i dont wish any animal to be nasty

6:38 am

yes, just wish he had woke the girls up instead of me :)

6:38 am

i have 4 silly cats who are now settling down after running riot!

6:38 am

but once a dog has gone rogue, you can never really trust it again, especially if it's very large

6:38 am

indeed, medusa. So sad. And maybe even worse when they don't become nasty, but so totally withdrawn and scared.

6:38 am

It's the "Mom" thing, smores. Once we become mothers we wake up at every little sound.

6:39 am

ruby, for a dog that has ea5 human flesh, certainly. No way to rehabilitate then.

6:39 am

Bad owners should be put down

6:39 am

the beauceron took my husband right down then bit him, swallowed what he bit off, and re-attacked. A dog like that should have been put down immediately! there is no possible rehab for an animal like that

6:39 am

that is heart breaking sprite. i hate that. makes me so angry!

6:39 am

Oooooh---change of subject?!

6:39 am

Mimi, lol! You know, I always did. But my husband slept through everything. Until we had a baby. Since then, he is a light sleeper.

6:40 am

definately not ruby

6:40 am

me too, medusa! I sometimes watch a show about pet rescuers and I just know I couldn't do that work. I would be in prison within a week for certain.

6:40 am

{sprite}

6:40 am

hope he is ok now ruby

6:40 am

yesterday, I totally grossed out rows by talking abut eating snails....bad me!

6:40 am

*woof*

6:40 am

:)

6:40 am

lol. i have said that so many times sprite!

6:40 am

bye dear...enjoy your day

6:40 am

It's only 5:40 in the morning here and too early for heavy discussion!

6:41 am

ooh, I love snails, the butter and garlic sauce, yum

6:41 am

he has gone downhill ever since, medusa, it was just too much for him

6:41 am

Ruby, you know your "woof" was in the grid yesterday.

6:41 am

was warp there, too?

6:41 am

{Mimi}

6:41 am

:) medusa... well ok, we will do it if we can be cell mates then ;)

6:42 am

eating snails... nah, not for me. Chicken. I can eat chicken. Or salmon. Smoked.

6:42 am

Rows has kept them as pets! I once tried to cook them, starting with live ones. NOT to be recommended because it['s a disgusting process, purging snails

6:42 am

im up for that. my next door neighbour punch her neighbour not too long ago coz he kicked her dog! i laughed when she said she punched him in the face!

6:43 am

yuck...I have had them but never tr5 to fix them

6:43 am

I would have aimed lower, medusa.....

6:43 am

lol

6:43 am

very well done. No kicking dogs unless one is attacking a child.

6:43 am

i could not do that ruby but i have never tried snails and will try anything if i dont know what it is first

6:43 am

lol Mimi

6:43 am

Hurshy that link did not work..so i just goolged them instead..lol

6:44 am

Medusa, I'm starting "The Vampire Diaries" on my Netflix today...looking forward to it.

6:44 am

have tried mussles, snails, brains, tr5, kidneys, liver. And let me tell you, I didn't like a single one of those.

6:44 am

told ya, zooz, lollll

6:45 am

I am not keen on offal.

6:45 am

they are gorgeous little things. she has 4 and 1 is a lively lil guy. she has a yorkie, 2 shi tsus abd a jack russel. the jack russel is only about a year ld and a real live wire!

6:45 am

When I know the function of certain organs, I just can't imagine they'd be good for us to eat.....

6:45 am

aw sound great, medusa

6:45 am

cool! seen a couple of them but could not get into it mimi

6:45 am

Oh sorry, Spritey..i must of missed that bit.

6:46 am

they are so sweet. i am not a big lover of yorkies but thi lil one makes a bline for me when he sees me and is so sweet.

6:46 am

no problem, zooz, I had hoped to save you from a hunt, but you were already off to the browser. *hug*

6:46 am

I had a yorkie wen I was young....dumbest dog I ever saw.

6:47 am

the funny thing for me is, some breeds of dogs don't appeal to me at all. But mostly when I get to know an individual from such a breed, I love him or her anyway.

6:47 am

Ok 58 left must go and get something to eat..but before i go may i have the stats for the bottom right 'P' please?

6:47 am

Sweet but stupid.

6:47 am

lol mimi. i would never hurt 1 bu just would never own 1

6:48 am

Mimi, the dog at the therapy farm is a total doofus too. He had two balls yesterday. I almost pe4 myself. He was so funny, trying to keep both close.

6:48 am

I don't even kill a cricket if it gets into the house...catch it and put it outside!

6:48 am

zooz try the brand name Cold-eeze or ZiCam

6:48 am

Will do, Smores..thank you.

6:48 am

i do that mimi. love crickets

6:48 am

me too, Mimi. Same with spiders. Only wasps... I warn them once. Tell them to get out or they will become very flat wasps. If they don't listen, they do.

6:49 am

Ok bye for now, all.

6:49 am

bye zooz, have a lovely day!

6:49 am

Hello. Zooz, I think the bottom right p is pr8/45 - before court.

6:49 am

bye, zooz, have a joyful day

6:49 am

I just don't like the idea of killing anything...but must kill the little ants...too fast and too many to catch!

6:49 am

I never cared much for most toy or small breed dogs, but certainly couldn't hurt one

6:49 am

hi Biltong

6:49 am

Bye zooz :)

6:50 am

ahh thank you, Biltong..very greatful.

6:50 am

i am arachnophobic so the only way i can deal with a spider is to vac it up.wasps i encourage out but ladybirds i splat!

6:50 am

Hello sprite :)

6:50 am

thanks, Biltong

6:50 am

The yapping would make me crazy, smores. Adored my German Shepherd.

6:50 am

*poof*

6:50 am

yw, zooz, bye for now

6:50 am

my Te5 is a small breed, but totally dog. And he doesn't yap, thank god.

6:51 am

i had a sheppard years ago. loved him to bits.

6:51 am

is anyone here on facebook. mine wont load ty

6:51 am

haven't seen you in a while, Biltong. Hope everything is ok with you and yours?

6:51 am

what kind of dog is he sprite?

6:51 am

if i could have a dog i would have a small one now coz of my back and i would love a papillion

6:52 am

i am ivesy and mine was ok earlier

6:52 am

I think it's all the way you raise them....must start when they are very young with any breed and then bring them up to fit your lifestyle.

6:52 am

Not too bad sprite, thank you. Up and down. How are things with you?

6:52 am

smores: a king charles cavalier spaniel. Pics in my profile. Oh, that reminds me, need to upload more.

6:52 am

same, Biltong. Mostly up at the moment, though, thanks :)

6:52 am

hi ivesy!

6:52 am

Those are adorable, smores...I've actually considered getting one....or a Pomeranian.

6:52 am

ok ty medusa. was on earlier now it wont load sigh

6:53 am

i love spaniels! another breed i would love. my cats are charging again and its scary! lol

6:53 am

hi sprite, mimi medusa bitsong and anyone i missed

6:53 am

Hi, ivesy!

6:53 am

oh, spaniels are different...very nice dogs

6:53 am

i just reloaded my facebook and it is ok

6:53 am

That's good to hear sprite. Mostly down for me at the moment, but I know things will improve :)

6:53 am

don't do it Mimi....

6:53 am

Atalante told me to get a KCC spaniel, back when we were in the process of deciding. And she was perfectly right.

6:54 am

Hi ivesy :)

6:54 am

Biltong: sending up-ping vibes your way!

6:54 am

My shepherd was a 100-pound lap dog....miss her every day and it has been 7 years....Nah, no dogs for me in an apt., smores....and I live on the second floor.

6:54 am

they are sweet. have known a few of them. i love all spaniels though. gorgeous dogs.

6:54 am

My cats would have heart attacks!

6:54 am

Thank you :)

6:55 am

lol..poms, peeks, pugs, poodles....pooey

6:55 am

i think mine would now! they are all indoor cats

6:55 am

But what do you REALLY think, smores?!!!

6:56 am

:)

6:56 am

spaniels are so lovable. Always happy, just as much game for a long walk as for a lazy nap, and funny and silly.

6:56 am

lol smores

6:56 am

and veryregal looking

6:57 am

You just described me, sprite!

6:57 am

hm... not Te5, lol. Although he has his moments, some even captured. But mostly he does his best to become as dirty as possible.

6:57 am

Mimi, I just knew you were a great breed :)

6:57 am

left out dauchands, mini pinschers, chihauhaus

6:57 am

lol

6:57 am

And I do so love being scratched behind the ears......

6:58 am

ROFL, smores.

6:58 am

:D

6:58 am

chihuahua's... sorry... don't want to offend anybody... but those are no dogs.

6:58 am

I know...right :)

6:58 am

i think thats just dogs though. i had a greyhound a few years ago and she was a nightmare! always running through puddles. they are thick dogs!

6:58 am

stop kicking me with your hind leg when I do that, Mimi.

6:58 am

ok ty medusa.. mine still wont load. even restarted comp. and all other site work so have no clue lol

6:58 am

LOL, sprite.

6:59 am

facebook is just a pain!

6:59 am

frustrating, ivesy :( Did you clean out the cache? Force-refreshed?

6:59 am

My best friend had a chihuahua for years and it would just turn around and bite them for no reason....would have to send that dog to doggie heaven....ridiculous.

7:00 am

spaniels, shelties, and Jack Russels are the only under 50 pound dogs I would have

7:00 am

I've raised tigers and lions and I was scared of that dog!

7:00 am

thats why i am not a fan of little dogs really. i prefer bigger dogs

7:00 am

but you raised the cats properly so they respected you!

7:01 am

lol...a chihuahua is the only dog I have ever kicked

7:01 am

same for me, smores. Jack Russells are fun too, if you have the character and time to raise them well and keep them challenged. Smart dogs that will become a pain in da butt when they get bored.

7:01 am

We had a woman living in my apt. complex who had a one-bedroom apt. and had a Great Dane!!! Always wondered how on earth she kept anything on a table...the tail would wipe out everything, right?!

7:01 am

LOL

7:01 am

ar 5/12 plz

7:02 am

right Mimi. Lol, so does Te5's tail, for the lower table. He waves it so energetically that the wind blows all papers down.

7:02 am

Keeping a dog that big in a small apt. is almost like keeping it caged, I think.

7:02 am

have had jack russels smores. they are great dogs but so lively and can be destructive if you dont be firm with them. i was too soft!

7:02 am

unless she walks it really really well and often, Mimi, indeed.

7:02 am

i agree mimi

7:03 am

don't have it yet, ivesy, will try and help find it though

7:03 am

Yes, I had the problem with a mal-wolf mix...very smart and got bored easy...but we worked it out and she was an awesome dog

7:03 am

ar and writing implement

7:03 am

ar + something to write with

7:03 am

Love those, smores....now THAT is a DOG!

7:03 am

i would love a mal

7:03 am

thanks Annie

7:04 am

youre welcome, sprite

7:04 am

I've heard that alot about russels...

7:04 am

I love wolf-like dogs, but I only would take one if I lived on a farm or in a wood.

7:05 am

i thing a dog like that would need alot of space

7:05 am

and Biltong too

7:05 am

yw, sprite

7:05 am

thanks biltong

7:06 am

yw, medusa

7:06 am

I've had 3 wolf mix,4 if you count the one I have now...but she has very little wolf in her...all wonderful

7:06 am

Although my shepherd preferred to be inside and always near me. When I would leave on an errand, she would get up on whatever I had been sitting on and stay there until I got back so she could "smell me" while I was gone.

7:06 am

ty finally got it. now the ar 5/10 the last one plz.

7:07 am

aw Mimi, so sweet.

7:07 am

nm got it!

7:07 am

I dog I have now will be 13 on Valentines Day. She is the grand-daughter of the last wolf hybrid I had.

7:07 am

yay ivesy!

7:07 am

Naturally protective, too. When I would answer the door to a stranger, she would get in front of me and stare at the person as if to say "Touch my mommy and I'll eat your face."

7:07 am

sorry, don't have that one yet

7:08 am

My baby only made it to age 7-----lymphoma.

7:08 am

mine was like that mimi. he went nuts when someone knocked at the door but would like them to death if the came in!

7:08 am

Oh no, Mimi, how sad.

7:08 am

At least she had a wonderful life filled with love.

7:09 am

that is sad mimi

7:09 am

OK---change subject...starting to cry....

7:09 am

hugs mimi

7:09 am

soooo...who likes chocolate cheesecake?

7:09 am

cherish the good memories, hun, and make sure she is happy when she looks at you from wherever.

7:10 am

i just love cheesecake whatever the flavour!

7:10 am

nope. But I love chocolate and I love most other cheesecakes. Bring 'm on!

7:10 am

Her spirit sent me the first of my 3 stray cats.....just know it.

7:10 am

good morning all - loves any kind of cheesecake

7:10 am

:)

7:10 am

hi teach :)

7:10 am

aw Mimi, so precious

7:10 am

hi teach

7:10 am

Cheesecake, yum! Hello wvteach

7:10 am

Didn't want her mama to be lonely

7:11 am

LOVE chocolate cheesecake, smores, but need to lose weight...you couldn't mention celery?!!

7:11 am

Hi, teach!

7:11 am

never had celery cheesecvake

7:11 am

LOL

7:11 am

You just have to love celery, lol

7:11 am

i ove salad!

7:11 am

Celery. Carrots. Salad. Water. There you go, Mimi. *Slinks back to her cheesecake, chocolate and fries*

7:11 am

Yes, this particular cat is just incredible---he looks at me and I just know he has an old soul.

7:12 am

love

7:12 am

made a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving - turned out pretty well

7:12 am

yummm...

7:12 am

yay, another 8.

7:12 am

yay, sprite

7:12 am

which one sprite

7:13 am

I'm going to try an idea I've had for chocolate cheesecake...will share it later if it turns :)

7:13 am

my cats are all young, about 2 i think. my boys did not even know how to play when i got them. you would not believe it to look at them now! still very nervous of strangers though

7:13 am

7:14 am

7:14 am

Wow, Annie and smores....if we were playing poker this is where I'd have to fold!!

7:17 am

:)

7:17 am

:)

7:17 am

I love poker

7:17 am

I like poker too. Totally stink at it though.

7:17 am

lol...me too sprite

7:17 am

:)

7:18 am

My face totally gives me away.

7:18 am

7:19 am

7:19 am

good job, teach. Still the one here.

7:19 am

i'll stay with GO Fish that my graddaughter will play with me

7:19 am

Mine too Mimi

7:19 am

Speaking of the spiritual cat...here he is asking if he can get on my lap...yes, he kind of waits for permission...he's so perfect.

7:20 am

hiya kitty cat. Nice to makeyour acquaintance.

7:20 am

thats so sweet. mine wait sometimes. others its just like 'fuss me'

7:20 am

Pywakit says ditto, sprite.

7:20 am

give him a ear rub from me Mimi

7:21 am

:)

7:21 am

When I pet him he looks up at me so adoringly like I'm the most wonderful creature on the planet...too bad I couldn't have found a man even close to that!

7:21 am

ah, second sc8, related to first. Nice.

7:22 am

He says thank you, smores!

7:22 am

wishes mine had waited this morning

7:23 am

mine look at me like that with big grins on thier faces. so cute

7:23 am

3rd ones a little odd sprite

7:23 am

thanks smores

7:23 am

can clue some of them if you would like

7:24 am

BBL. Happy babbling everyone :)

7:24 am

Bye, Biltong!

7:24 am

bye Biltong, have a good day

7:25 am

smores, thanks for the offer, still happily plodding along here.

7:25 am

ttfn biltong

7:25 am

Bye biltong ...enjoy your day

7:26 am

yw sprite....I don't like to get clues for a whle either

7:27 am

:)

7:28 am

But I had to ask on a couple of them earlier ...lol

7:28 am

I probably will need clues later on too :)

7:29 am

I was on here in the middle of the night

7:29 am

I know I'm weird but I don't use clues much or lists...feels like cheating somehow. Of course, I never get fireworks either....but I'm good with that. I just enjoy the ones I do get.

7:30 am

Isn't it nice to know people are here whenever, smores? I did that the night my cat got out and it was comforting having people here.

7:30 am

I use them :)

7:30 am

I think it's a lot more fun to find words on your own. There is a lot more cluing here than there used to be.

7:30 am

Actually, I'm just too lazy to put that much effort into it!

7:31 am

as Atalante said to me when I joined this game: looking up the actual words is cheating. All the rest is research :) I usually use the clues that I see in chog, I don't use the list much, but I look for word patterns in a2z when I get stuck. Everybody to his or her own taste :)

7:31 am

i have ocd so if i dont finish a grid i feel like i have failed

7:31 am

Hi, Molly!!

7:31 am

yes it is Mimi, although I would've liked to have slept

7:31 am

sleep is good!

7:31 am

Yep---room for everyone!

7:32 am

tsk, silly Babblers. Slept is a phantom today. Whaddaya expect.

7:32 am

I know, smores...what was keeping you up (if you want to share)?

7:32 am

:) sprite...it was sure a phantom for me

7:32 am

so is sleep, btw.

7:32 am

;)

7:32 am

LOL, smores.

7:33 am

I don't sleep alot anyway, then my girls were being loud

7:34 am

lol smores... I take it you don't mean your breasts,.

7:34 am

ROFL

7:34 am

I've always been a bit of an insomniac.

7:34 am

Funny, sprite!

7:35 am

no, they're usually qu5

7:35 am

You're just all kind of sassy today, sprite!! Love that!

7:35 am

Mine are so quiet these days they're practically deceased.

7:36 am

gm, everyone! stats for the lone I and the P both 5th column?

7:36 am

mine are travelling a lot. South.

7:36 am

Sprite, it's wonderful that you can totally get humor in a language not native to you....you're better than a lot of Americans.

7:37 am

hiya dawg :)

7:37 am

hiya sprite!

7:37 am

Yep, gravity is no longer MY friend...everything headed south. Gonna start walking on my hands so I'll get great boobs and no ass.

7:37 am

thanks Mimi. I love english. It is a great language.

7:37 am

hi dawg

7:37 am

Finally got to sleep around 4ish, cat woke me up about 7am

7:37 am

hey there medusa

7:38 am

(Dawg)

7:38 am

(mimi)

7:38 am

Well, since I'm obviously not going back to sleep, I am off to make coffee...BRB

7:38 am

My cats like to run "road races" around the apt. in the middle of the night...then, of course, sometimes set off the gong....wonder what the neighbors think.

7:39 am

Hi all - just here for a short while. Been out most of today - all morning back after lunch, then again this evening and we just got back and it's nearly midnight. Not a hope of finishing the grid but I wanted to say hi!

7:39 am

{{Liz}}

7:39 am

hi Liz!

7:40 am

mine to mimi. they just finished a race too! i have laminate flooring so they have problems stopping. lol

7:40 am

hi liz

7:40 am

hiya Liz :)

7:40 am

Oh, no! Did you ever watch "Mad About You," medusa? The dog Murray used to crash into the walls....it was funny, though. You never saw him crash, just heard him.

7:41 am

It's always good to see so many friends here - I was spreading the babble word this evening!

7:41 am

Yep, the grid is incidental to me now, Liz....I'm here for the friends! Love this community.

7:42 am

Know what you mean but I also still enjoy the grid very much - but I like the people I chat to :)

7:42 am

I love both

7:42 am

I enjoy the grid but have no ambition....just get the ones I can and that's it.

7:42 am

me too sprite

7:43 am

I'm too competitive for my own good! But also accept that there are times, when I just won't finish!

7:43 am

Wow--I'm starting to get a contact high from the marijuana wafting up into my apt. At least the people down there are quiet.

7:43 am

i never saw that mimi but thats all i get from the cats, the crash as they hit a wall or cupboard door or something. i do sit here and giggle to myself

7:43 am

That is interesting Liz. I don't consider this a competitive game.

7:44 am

I played for a little while yesterday evening, chog wasn't much fun because people were doing endless lists of stats, even though there was a list. And I was too tired. Stopped after a 50 words already and went to bed.

7:44 am

hi Molly. One can compete with oneself, though.

7:45 am

I compete with myself, sprite....fortunately, I'm easy to beat!

7:45 am

I mean competitive with myself! I certainly don't try to compete with others!

7:45 am

lol Mimi, same here.

7:45 am

thats what i do sprite and its a pain! i go too far sometimes and feel bad about it

7:46 am

*hugs medusa*

7:46 am

back with a strong cup of coffee

7:46 am

<- giggling at the chat. compete with self. others would leave me bludgeoned and bleeding!

7:46 am

When it's yourself, I see it more as challenge than competition. And I agree about chat when it's endless lists of stats, it's not much fun.

7:46 am

I compete with myself and talk to myself....it's comforting being schizo because you're always entertained and never alone........

7:46 am

thanks. thats odc for ya! lol

7:46 am

I know I can rarely complete a grid without using the dictionary but I go as far as I can without a list and only use a dictionary at the last possible time. But I try to get more each time! That's what I meant!

7:47 am

to begin with I wouldn't use a dictionary but now I see it as a means to try to learn new words!

7:47 am

lol...yay for ocd and schizo

7:47 am

I think that is a fun way to do the grids Liz. : )

7:48 am

If only I could remember more of them!!!!!

7:48 am

Hey, smores, was watching the new "House of Cards" on Netflix last night....good series...13 episodes right now and all there...you'll like it. Don't forget "Outrageous Fortune" as well....great.

7:48 am

yep, same for me, Liz, exactly.

7:48 am

i don't chat as much...sometimes i just don't get what's being talked about...and too lazy to go into the archives to catch up.

7:48 am

:) lbd...

7:49 am

just got 8 letter no. 6

7:49 am

Funny, I read back in the chog on my iPad in the morning to see what's been going on in babble land while I've been asleep! Sad, huh?

7:49 am

dawg is one of the old crew, just like me. Remember, when a whole day of chog would be 7 entries or less? :)

7:49 am

woot medusa!

7:49 am

I hate endless chat about the weather....what's up with that?

7:50 am

most weather is up. Unless it comes down. Then it is bad weather.

7:50 am

Maybe it's because we don't HAVE weather in Phoenix.

7:50 am

yeah, but i remember the times of old when stid would tell us storytime, and we played a lot in the PB.

7:50 am

I click on the "who's online" tab so I don't see clues sometimes...especially when I'm just starting and there the clues are flying..

7:50 am

ROFL, sprite...you are on a roll!!!

7:50 am

;)

7:50 am

I've also done that smokes :)

7:51 am

Sorry!

7:51 am

Oh, you want stories, dawg? I've GOT stories!!!

7:51 am

aw yes, we played around a lot then.

7:51 am

hmmm...don't remember typing the word "there"

7:51 am

lol..np liz...I think last time I was snores

7:52 am

snores would be good... you should be snores at night and smores in the day.

7:52 am

funny, I do both :)

7:52 am

stid would make up stories, they were fun to re4. and the puns..oh dear, many a time i nearly hurt myself laughing

7:52 am

The cats are taking turns getting in my lap....gotta go take a Benadryl....did I mention I'm allergic to cats?

7:52 am

Chog moves so fast sometimes that I hit enter without checking!

7:52 am

ahhh..in a perfect world sprite

7:52 am

hahaha, Liz, me too

7:52 am

Nah, she can't be snores----she doesn't sleep.

7:53 am

Or at least a child/cat free one...lol

7:53 am

Except when she does!

7:53 am

nbt, nbs, 76 remaining. going to start my day. bbl to finish. have fun everyone.

7:53 am

Yeah, I got about 3 hours

7:54 am

Bye lbd. Enjoy your day :)

7:54 am

When I went to get coffee I past the girls room and thought how fun it would be to run in there banging pans...mwhahaha

7:54 am

Bye Dawg...have a great day :)

7:55 am

Can't type straight, can't see words - probably time to give up for tonight. Enjoy your days. Hope to see you tomorrow sometime :)

7:55 am

Bye Dawg

7:55 am

one of my favorite lines from the Lion King, when Simba calls his parents and dad says: "Our son is awake." And mum says: "Before sunrise he is YOUR son."

7:55 am

Bye Lizlin...sleep well :)

7:55 am

bye Liz, have a lovely eveing and a peaceful night.

7:55 am

I get those thoughts about my kids a lot...but I actually want to hit them with the pans.

7:56 am

ty all. Good night :)

7:56 am

your kids deserve hitting, Mimi

7:56 am

:) I loved that movie sprite

7:56 am

(Hug, Liz_

7:56 am

me too, smores :) And Jeremy Irons as the voice of the evil lion... so great.

7:57 am

Made me cry...everything does. My parents used to actually try to distract me when Wonderful World of Disney or Lassie came on TV because they couldn't stand to see me crying.

7:57 am

Thank you, sprite.....yes, they do.

7:57 am

Yes, and James Earl Jones...wonderful

7:58 am

I cry when I see Dumbo. Can't stand the scene where the mother is taken away from him and she fights to protect him. I cry when seeing Bambi. Ah well, I confess, I am a total mess.

7:58 am

james earl jones...he is the daddy, right?

7:59 am

Yes, he did the voice for Mufasa

7:59 am

One of my favorite writers (whose last name I can't remember...senior moment) wrote an article about Lassie and the stupid humans. "What's that, girl? (Lassie barking and trying to get them to follow her). Are you trying to tell us something?? Like it didn't just happen last week...and the week before.

7:59 am

And you are not a mess... you just have a kind heart

7:59 am

:) Also great.

7:59 am

I even cry at the happy ones....I'm totally a mess.

7:59 am

morning all.

7:59 am

:) thanks smores.

8:00 am

(Peri)

8:00 am

hi pe4, we are in this grid together.

8:00 am

help with the i and p in right column pls

8:00 am

I saw that :)

8:00 am

Mimi, same goes for you

8:00 am

Hi peri

8:00 am

hi peri

8:00 am

The p is pr8

8:01 am

I cry at movies, tv shows and when reading some books.

8:01 am

yep, happy ones too. And each and every time someone fights against his or her tears. Does me in without a fail. Our queen, this week... yep, I got teary-eyed. Hopeless, grin.

8:01 am

TY, dear.

8:01 am

ia6/21 and ia8/45

8:01 am

ty Molls, looking

8:01 am

ty smores, looking

8:02 am

I even cry at commercials...especially the coffee ones. But I'm still a tough old broad

8:02 am

ty for the ia words

8:02 am

They must show different coffee commercials where you are Mimi...lol

8:02 am

yw...weird ones huh?

8:03 am

You know, the Folger's ones where the kid comes home at Christmas...that kind of thing.

8:03 am

OK--am totally in the dark for the ia words.

8:03 am

I've thought about crying over commercials because they are so dumb : D

8:04 am

not seeing the pr word but still looking

8:04 am

Mimi: Little Lord Fauntleroy, when his mother is standing next to the Xmas tr4, and when the old man puts his hand over her hand over Ceddie's hand.

8:04 am

Maybe that's my problem...simple-minded and over-emotional!!!

8:04 am

finally got the pr8. All the time, when thinking about the clue 'before court' I was thinking royalty, not law.

8:04 am

lol Molly, yes that too.

8:04 am

wtg sprite

8:05 am

ty Molls and sprite for pr8

8:05 am

thnx sprite

8:05 am

*grin* thanks smores. It takes me a bit longer, but I'll get there in the end...

8:05 am

the ia looks more like an ending than a word...like related to the theatre

8:06 am

Nope---mental light bulb burned out.

8:06 am

:) you do just fine sprite...

8:07 am

It's OK, though, I don't really care!

8:07 am

:) Mimi

8:07 am

what do you need, Mimi?

8:07 am

Oh, the list is soooo long, sprite!

8:08 am

whahaha :D Ok, true.

8:08 am

Hey, I'm going to go finish watching "House of Cards" and then must get to chores (ugh). Have a good one, all, and dedicate your fireworks to me!

8:09 am

bye Mimi, have a good one.

8:09 am

Talking to you later, right sprite?

8:09 am

certainly, Mimi. After babble it is back to email for me.

8:09 am

{Mimi} bye ....enjoy your day dear :)

8:09 am

Looking forward to it.

8:09 am

{{smores}}

8:10 am

<---note to self...check your emails

8:10 am

emails are fun. Especially from friends.

8:10 am

i was going to take a break when i got to 150 words, i am now at162!

8:11 am

woot medusa!

8:11 am

wd medusa

8:12 am

lol...haven't entered a word for awhile now

8:12 am

my panda keeps seeing racism in the grid...I told him it was just a phantom :)

8:13 am

I am with your panda. Words ending in -ist for me.

8:13 am

i am not working as fast as i usually do. i keep being told by mates that i talk too much!!!!!!!!!!!

8:13 am

nah. You? Never.

8:14 am

ahh..I see that one now too

8:14 am

:)

8:14 am

Before I got, here's a made-up word for you....snet. Like the sound one makes with a stuffy nose but trying to laugh.......bye.

8:14 am

lol. Or snarf.

8:14 am

ttfn mimi

8:15 am

teehee...Snarf is my daughters cat's name

8:15 am

I'm too stuffy for snarf, sprite...can only manage snet.

8:15 am

aww cool name!

8:15 am

love the word too

8:15 am

*grins at Mimi*

8:15 am

awww.. Mimi :)

8:16 am

I used to have a great big cat who had the sweetest disposition on the planet and an old boyfriend used to call him "Spike" and it was too funny.

8:16 am

Snarf, Gizmo and Smokey...aka SmoSmo

8:17 am

great names. My vote for Te5 was to call him Gizmo, but my husband objected strongly.

8:17 am

You see how I'm using you guys to avoid chores?

8:17 am

Mimi, and we admire you for it :D

8:17 am

that is a funny name for a cat...especially a sweet one

8:17 am

hi, babblers

8:17 am

hi welki

8:17 am

hiya welki :)

8:17 am

Hiya welki

8:17 am

You're my pal, sprite!

8:18 am

((welki))

8:18 am

no kidding, Mimi!

8:18 am

I hate housework more than having surgery.

8:18 am

my daughter wanted to name my cats after twilight characters so they were all renamed. Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. Princess is the only one that was not renamed

8:19 am

but worst is doing housework while having surgery.

8:19 am

My daughter had seen "Gremlins" not long before we got Gizmo

8:19 am

lol medusa. Poor kitties.

8:19 am

What?!? LOL sprite

8:19 am

that helps with naming.

8:19 am

Nah--that would be better...could do it on drugs.

8:19 am

that's where I got the name too, smores. But alas. And Te5 is a good name too.

8:19 am

the names actually suit them!

8:19 am

mimi, you got through yesterday okay? you said you were headed to a most horrible day

8:20 am

Yep, thanks, welki.....all next week will be even worse...gearing up for that.

8:20 am

That's a little scary medusa

8:21 am

i did want to call Jas Ziggy coz he has a white stripe across his eye but he got used to his name pretty fast

8:21 am

that wouldn't be because of them sucking blood, I hope, medusa?

8:21 am

yipes - well, i hope things turn around for you after this rough patch, mimi

8:21 am

no. fortunately they are all good babies! lol

8:21 am

Why Mimi?

8:21 am

TY, welki...glad I lingered a bit so I could have the pleasure of at least saying hi to you.

8:22 am

that's good medusa

8:22 am

So much, smores....don't get me started....don't want to depress everyone. Gonna go for now. Hugs all around.

8:22 am

*hugs Mimi*

8:23 am

they are very playful still where they are all so young but they have never mistaken my hand for a toy

8:23 am

hugs mimi

8:23 am

Hugs and prayes to you Mimi :)

8:24 am

Phantom: requiem. Seems appropriate.

8:25 am

And the amphibian is here AGAIN....now I'm definitely gone!

8:27 am

:) bye dear

8:28 am

<----note to self....you are done with D's, stop looking!

8:28 am

oh... been there, done that. To the point where I keep on looking for words after finishing the grid, smores :)

8:29 am

8:29 am

8:32 am

9:07 am

Hi Owl

hello scrabs! more snow on the way?

9:08 am

9:08 am

We have received almost 2 feet since Thursday morning. It is sunny and clear now but more snow will come in a few hrs.

ugh. i geuss you get used to it.

9:10 am

Ugh again. I wouldn't.

9:10 am

Yesterday I cross-country skied under brutal conditions--poor visibility in the woods, slow and sticky snow. I think I will snowshoe today.

hi molly. i lasted all of 15 minutes o yesterday's walk.

9:11 am

stats for the 2nd row I?

9:11 am

Brutal conditions? That doesn't sound like much fun.

9:11 am

I found an 8 by myself. Geez, I rarely go past 4 letters.

9:11 am

ir4--made mad

9:11 am

I hear you TO. Windy and 18 degrees is not my cup of tea.

dan: it doesn't look very promising, does it?

9:12 am

I have a survivor, woodswoman mentality though, so I saw it as a challenge.

9:12 am

Scrabbs that's the other I - the one in the 2nd row looks impossible

9:13 am

Oh, 2nd row. Looking now.

Hello Frenchie

9:51 am

{{hego}} didn't know you were having surgery, so Valentine's Day dancing will have to be postponed a bit!

9:51 am

yes ruby

9:51 am

ty

9:52 am

I just talked to one of my friends who lives in the south who fell down stairs in her house. She's 80 and broke her hip and ankle. Awful

9:52 am

Hego, sending you good vibes for Monday.

9:52 am

OK, I cannot wait any longer. The outdoors are calling me. I must get my layers on and go for a nice hike in the park with my snowshoes.

9:52 am

that's terrible!

9:52 am

hi Molly

9:52 am

ty Molly, I'll need them.

9:52 am

Awful, ruby.

9:53 am

enjoy, Scrabbler!

9:53 am

bye Scrabs

9:53 am

she's now in the French system's "reeduction place" because I guess she can't manage at home, even with her family

9:53 am

I will. It will be a vigorous workout.

bye scrabs. walk a bit for me.

9:53 am

for me too

reeducation sounds ominous.

9:54 am

that sounds lovely, scravbs. Friends here go snowshoeing, but I tried it once and I wasn't strong enough and that was 14 yrs ago! hahah

9:54 am

it sounds Maoist

9:54 am

hope she keeps her spirits up and heals, ruby..

9:54 am

I think it's rehab?

9:54 am

falling is the worst

9:54 am

I guess, but the name is ominous

9:55 am

my pups are running around in the wind and snow flurry and stop occasionally to look in the door of the studio. It's very cute because the young one is as big as Ruby now

9:59 am

phantom: petanque (boules)

do they sap at the flakes? i think that is so funny

10:00 am

would have never seen that. lol

10:00 am

once it falls, Rufie eats it

10:00 am

♪♫♪ Happy Birthday, TO! ♪♫♪

10:05 am

10:06 am

well, she said it was time to list or go... maybe she's doing one or the other

10:06 am

lol

10:07 am

Ru is the one who said it was her birthday. I figured he had the inside track.

10:07 am

HA

10:15 am

LOL TO

10:16 am

Happy Birthday TO. How nice that you shared a birthday with your Dad. : )

yes forty was good. every age is better than the current after a point. not sure when that point was though.

molly: actually i ruined his party. he had to leave it.he loved to tell that story. but i look at this this way: nearly everyone in america willbe celebrating it!

10:17 am

bye rubes

10:18 am

10:20 am

People are Superbowl nuts around here. Shopping carts full of junk food.

10:20 am

they're nuts out here too

10:21 am

I"m planning on having a good time.

10:21 am

if the hapless Cleveland Browns ever made it to the Super Bowl, I'd be nuts too

10:21 am

I hope tonight's grid is smaller so that I can cook for my friends

10:21 am

It should be a good game. And the Superbowl generally is not. Can't say the same for the half time entertainment though.

10:22 am

ooh, what are you fixiing ruru?

10:22 am

yeah.. i hear that.. liked her in Dreamgirls ..but not much other than that

10:22 am

maybe the best one can hope for at halftime is another wardrobe malfunction, lol

is aw mario batali's men. flying in crabcakes from balmer and something else from san fran. aren't you all doint that? :P

10:23 am

grilled filet mignon.. roasted shitake mushrooms and leeks

10:23 am

that's what the puppy bowl is for

10:23 am

oh my oh my.. lucky guests!

lol if the puppies played the kittens we'd be talking

10:23 am

the kittens do the halftime show

10:25 am

<--Wishes she had friends who invited her over for filet mignon

i will be out at a bar with friends but i hate football. and there is no buffet. but taco bell is across the parking lot. :)

10:25 am

No food at a Superbowl party?

10:26 am

i'm sure you'd be welcome at ru's, molly, you just have to get there

10:26 am

weirdo word.. if one warrior had more healed wounds than the other, he would be considered sc8 than the other.. h'mm

well, not many in our group wanted the buffet. so it's order from the menu. there is no cover, either.

10:27 am

thx for that one aloy

10:27 am

The crowd I run with is more of the chile and nachos budget.

10:27 am

steamed red potatoes.. mushroom red wine reduction sauce.. potato chips and stuff

yes. someone posted how to have a party for $50.

10:27 am

yvw Leslie

10:27 am

and really nice wine

10:28 am

more than 9 dollars per 750 L, ruru?

whoever came up with the idea to have walking tacos obviously does not have their own home.

10:28 am

lol.. yep a lot more than that aloy

10:29 am

walking tacos?

10:29 am

ah, you are a great host, ruru

10:29 am

actually I"m going the their house

10:29 am

yeah, thinking the same thing - meeting a walking taco - the imagery - my eyes!

10:29 am

they have the BIG screen not me

10:29 am

walking tacos are awesome! I do it all the time for kids. outside. inside. mostly outside especially if there are many kids

10:30 am

?? never heard of walking tacos, lol

10:30 am

*googling walking tacos and hoping for the best*

hahahaha... popular carnival food. made in a bag of fritos. I am a "don'tlet food touh on the plate"kind of girl. yuck.

10:30 am

crossy also googles walking taco

10:30 am

the things we learn on Babble, amazing

10:30 am

i think they're just wrapped up so you can eat while walking, standing around etc

10:31 am

howdy crossy

10:31 am

ohhh, i get it - sometimes they're used here for fund-raising - taco-in-a-bag. still sounds a little funky *lol*

10:31 am

howdy aloy

10:31 am

oh i guess not. i'd never heard of those either. bizarre.

sound very funky - i hate fritos!

10:32 am

then use nacho chips

10:32 am

hey all

10:32 am

*wonders if there are crawling enchiladas?*

10:32 am

howdy stidmama

10:32 am

I use doritos.

i don't like foods that re mixed

10:32 am

hi there stid!

10:32 am

Hello, stid

in some places i am sure there are, ru

10:33 am

hi stid, babble

10:33 am

I refuse to do them for a concession stand though. Too complicated and messy.

10:33 am

Temple, you don't like a regular taco?

10:33 am

they dance with the flamenco fajitas

10:33 am

hey BR ((hugs)) it was a long week for me... you?

they are ok.

10:33 am

or the cha cha with chimichangas

i just don't like food to touch on my plate.

10:34 am

absolutely, welki

10:34 am

-- or riding your burro, eating a churro

10:34 am

I am pretty picky, but do like the tacos. My husband, however, has the palate of a five year old.

and i hate gravy

10:34 am

I hate food touching on my plate!

10:34 am

what a Mexican party!

10:34 am

the possiblities are endless :)

10:34 am

Oh, I love gravy. You lost me there

*pictures pee wee dancing to "Tequila"*

10:35 am

just call it sauce TO ..

10:35 am

Hope next week is a better one, stid

10:35 am

sp6.24 the salsa on the chips, oh yes

it's not sauce. it's melted fat with flour.

10:35 am

its delicious!

i don't eat meat fat. or fatty meat. or chicken skin.

10:36 am

thanks, BR -- me too!

10:36 am

me neither

10:36 am

I like turkey skin though

10:36 am

I have to plan lessons this weekend, was too tired to do it the last couple days. At least it's not supposed to rain today, so I should be able to get outside for a little bit to finish pruning trees.

i actually did find a gracy i liked but lost the recipe. elvis gravy. made with chicken and beef broth and pureed vegetables. very good and no fat.

10:36 am

dangit TO now i've got that in my head

10:36 am

TEQUILA!

da da dah da da da dah

10:37 am

ruru, not eat fat from meat? why not? I usually avoid it because it makes my insides hurt...

10:37 am

LOL LA!

10:37 am

hamster on the wheel when you teach, stid.. never enough hours in the day.. (( ))

10:37 am

i trim my meat of fat as much as possible

and i as well just do not like it. my steaks are minscule whe done

10:39 am

I have lost 10 pounds though since New Years

10:39 am

thanks Aloyisius... a kid asked the other day what my first name was, and I said "Mrs." and thought of you. Couldn't use Aloyisius, because they know the first initial of my name! LOL

10:40 am

both sp6 and her dog te5 are in the grid

i think i found some of them. tkae them back,please

10:40 am

aww, stid.. good answer

10:41 am

I don't like fat and skin, either - only get boneless skinless chicken, to the point that our poor daughter couldn't figure out what all the other parts were when she worked at KFC for a few days once, lol

10:41 am

:-D thought it worked... LOL but this is a small rural school and I am pretty sure at this point they know my first name.

10:41 am

those aren't chicken parts Rbud.. lol

10:41 am

LOL rbud!

:)

10:42 am

The pureed vegetable gravy is just a mix of pureed cooked vegetables, broth and a little flour to thicken it. It's actually pretty good.

yes, i thought it very tasty. carrots and celery...i don't know if there was onion.

10:43 am

<--- i was breezing through this last night.. gotten tougher now

10:43 am

well, I am clearly not ready to be "up" -- just waiting for Lucky to come home. Let him out to go get his ball and he ran off after one of his "girlfriends" (he's fixed, no worries there). He

10:43 am

He'll be back soon...

i need 37 it is list or go since i won't be around tonight to finish

10:43 am

nice to see you-all, hope your weekends will be what you need. *Poof*

bye stiddy

10:43 am

What? You didn't just breeze right through it like a drive thru? : P

10:44 am

are you doing something fun TO?

10:44 am

tc, stid.. nice to see you too!

o.O

10:45 am

i also get only boneless,skinless chicken breasts for my meals.the other parts of the bird seem to be becoming fattier and fattier to the point where i can no longer do shake and bake chicken because they are so greasy they smoke out the house. a butcher friend tells me this is from chickens that are forced to just sit there and get fat vs free range birds who have more muscle and to always look for leg size of the bird in relation to body size when buying a whole bird as the ones raised in boxes just to get fat will have very small legs in comparison to body weight

10:45 am

eatter

yes going to dinnerand dancing and a show. but there will be a clipper of snow and it is a long drive.

10:45 am

good tip, ty crossy

10:46 am

good shopping hint, crossy, I hadn't thought of it that way

10:46 am

good.. I hope you have a nice evening out

10:46 am

<---Doesn't trust Clipper snow

10:46 am

sounds great, TO

10:46 am

10:47 am

Alberta Clipper, ugh

10:47 am

10:47 am

wind and lots of snow

can't. tickets bought. will hit after we are there.

10:48 am

can you line up a hotel just in case TO?

10:49 am

good idea, ruru

10:50 am

oh oh, now I have ti6 thru the tulips in my head

o.O

10:50 am

tiny tim?

ty i amdown to 35

10:51 am

i got it worse,not only is that song running though my mind,it is running through my mind in french as sung py peppe le pew!

10:51 am

by

where's la? here is something t o replace tequila

10:52 am

lol crossy.. am spared the Fr. version as all I know is a bit of Frere Jacques

10:52 am

i am not familiar with the tulips song (found the word though)

you are better off with pee wee

10:53 am

Nah, Pee Wee dancing to Tequila is much more fun.

10:53 am

LA.. too young for tiny tim

10:53 am

Leslie, you must be a young'un

10:53 am

10:54 am

*passes Rbud a xanax*

10:54 am

now why would i click on that if you guys have just been talking about how it's a horrible song to have stuck in your head

10:54 am

The tulips song is actually from the 1920's. Tiny Tim just reinvented it.

10:55 am

indeed as my link shows

10:55 am

you just weren't stoned enough to watch him Molly :D

10:55 am

I recall when Tiny Tim and what's-her-name got married on TV, I think - what an event, lol

miss vickie. she was from around these parts

10:56 am

always felt this urge to wash his hair.. mothering instinct I suppose

la DON"T DO IT!

10:56 am

I feel that way about Robert Pattinson (the washing his hair thing)

10:56 am

but he was a ukelele master, lol

10:57 am

i want to open his eyes clockwork-orange style. WHY IS HE ALWAYS SQUINTING

10:57 am

The dumb vampire series

i just copied 299 words into chat by accident. i would be the troll of all trolls. :/

10:59 am

lol, sat through Twilight's Eclipse last night, just to say I did it - it was like a train wreck, couldn't stop watching - those badly rendered wolves cracked me up, and the way the head vampires glide around reminded me of the nun in the blues brothers movie, lolol!

11:00 am

I am in a complete state of disbelief when women gush over those movies.

11:00 am

oh, dear, TO, lucky you caught it, haha! :)

it would notbe the first time, rbud. :/

11:00 am

mol i saw something on fb - so unconfirmed, of course - but that their relationship meets many of the standards for domestic abuse

11:01 am

so that's kind of bothersome that young girls idolize it

11:01 am

time for me to ti6 outta here.. fun chatting with you all, see you next time! Poof

11:01 am

bye aloy

11:01 am

Be well, Aloy

bye aloy.

11:01 am

I've read similar things LA and I agree.

11:02 am

it's the emo and teen angst thing, I guess. at least they promoted waiting until marriage for lovemaking, but only under the premise that Pattinson's character was old-fashioned

11:02 am

I read the same thing Leslie and the article had very valid points. Hi all.

hi cos.

11:02 am

what teen wants to be old-fashioned, ya know?

11:03 am

heya cos

11:03 am

I get teenage girls going for that series. But grown women?

11:04 am

http://theoatmeal.com/story/twilight

11:04 am

I have a friend whose wife is in her late 40s and herbedroom is plastered with robert pattinson posters

11:04 am

oh i love the oatmeal, haven't seen this one crossy

11:04 am

that is disgusting!

11:04 am

our daughter's so wacko for the whole thing that I felt I should see it

11:04 am

the grown woman with the twilight posters.

11:05 am

That is disturbing Cos.

11:05 am

I did read the series and saw the first few movies, just to see what my 12 year old daughter was obsessed with, but after that, not so much

11:05 am

Very.

11:05 am

lol from the oatmeal: Imagine everything women want in a man, then exaggerate it by ten thousand - and you've got Edward Cullen

11:05 am

Seriously, a married woman with guy posters in her bedroom?

11:05 am

Now, the Vampire chronicles, that I can see grown women digging. But even then, not obsessing

11:06 am

Exactly Molly. LOL I have heard of women emasculating their husbands, but that is out there

11:06 am

I can imagine the woman asking her husband to squint his eyes when they are lovemaking

11:07 am

lol yeah its weird

11:07 am

at least she isnt reading something blinds of grey?

11:08 am

my favorite view: "Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity… Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”

11:09 am

yeah that's harsh, rbud

11:09 am

they credit that quote to Stephen King sometimes, but I've read it's not really his.

11:09 am

a creepy boyfriend, at that

11:09 am

I thought Harry Potter was about waving your wand around :D

11:11 am

"never believe all the quotes you come across on the internet" - Abraham Lincoln

11:11 am

lol

11:11 am

*joke grenade*

11:11 am

yeah snopes says SK didnt say that but its a very true quote

11:11 am

I saw this poster about Hermione, Janeway, the Twilight girl, and just adore it: http://www.lolbrary.com/post/12006/get\n-this-woman-some-goddamn-coffee/

11:12 am

A++ ch1212 :)

11:13 am

(thanks rbud for reminding me about it with your comment :)

11:14 am

there is something kind of appealing about the idea of shapeshifting Indians in the great Northwest woods, though, I kind of like the notion.

11:15 am

I see lots of shape-shifting people at McDonalds

11:15 am

but, as Pattinson's character aptly put it, "Doesn't he own a shirt?" - all the lovely muscles are sure to appeal to silly teens, etc

11:16 am

ugh..MCd,s almost made me go vegetarian after the last time i tried eating there

11:17 am

I did go vegetarian in the 70's after working at one, crossy.

11:18 am

what a funny chog! I haven't seen any of those things; it's been a long time since I had a teenager around

11:18 am

you can have our teen for a while if you like ruby

11:18 am

send 'im over, I'll sort 'im out lol

11:19 am

he is 18 and full of teenage angst and drama and is a bull in a china shop to boot

11:19 am

and eats roughly what 3 average people would eat

11:19 am

is he fat? or still growing?

11:20 am

growing..almost taller than dad,he is 6 feet tall and size 12 shoes

11:20 am

Ah, teens. I miss them.

11:21 am

my food bill will not miss him

11:21 am

maybe he'll sort himself out once he stops growing or maybe you'll have a giant on your hands

11:21 am

me, too, bzzn

11:21 am

I had girls. It was the same with them. They ate like field hands.

11:21 am

and that fact that every two month you have to buy new clothes

11:23 am

though,i think he is winding down.they say most boys finish by 19

11:24 am

12:03 pm

True, Molly.

12:04 pm

It was once a frequent word in crosswords.

12:04 pm

It's still a font in Microsoft Word.

12:04 pm

I could see the steam si 4/5 through every pore in his body.My husband is such a cr5/14! Hubby is giving me a st5/10 look because he wants the computer. I am already tr5/12ing on thin ice with him after last night,therefore,I am going to give him computer.

6:13 pm

howdy lynxx

6:14 pm

hi lynnxxx

6:14 pm

hi lynxxx!

6:14 pm

ci6? done with c's then...

6:14 pm

going to come on over and visit crossy? i have 2 feet of snow on the ground.i can take you snow shoeing

6:15 pm

I'm still planning on coming this summer, crossy!

6:15 pm

hi Sue, how's Frank going?

6:15 pm

leslie, ci**** du Soleil

6:15 pm

ah thanks

6:16 pm

Frank is good, lynxxx! He got the snow off our driveway and sidewalks earlier - snowblower, not shovel, but still that's real progress!

6:18 pm

wow Sue - he must be feeling much better in himself, thats great

6:18 pm

now we are watching the movie Burlesque on TV - the ABC Family channel has changed since I last had cable

Wprettied

6:18 pm

yes, he's pretty much recovered from the surgery, and is doing well with the chemo so far

Sorry !

6:19 pm

hi, chrissie :-)

6:19 pm

How long is the course of chemo? and how often?

Hi sue, glad to hear Frank is progressing well

6:20 pm

every week for six months, lynxxx

6:20 pm

he alternates long and short treatments

6:22 pm

with that routine he can start living a bit more of a normal life, not so disruptive a schedule. Its good.

6:22 pm

it is indeed good, lynxxx.

6:24 pm

fireworks!

I know we need to be positive, but as I am 4 months along a 6 month corse of weekly chemo I can't even remember a normal life

6:25 pm

Tell him not to expect too much of himself. I found that my reasoning was quite slow even though I was functioning/working OK. When I finished the course, virtually the next day I was back to normal. I called it chemohead.

6:26 pm

Ugh Chrissie - you are obviously having a strong dose. Do you have to travel far as well to have it

When was your treatment lynx and are you ok now?

6:26 pm

Congrats Leslie!

6:28 pm

good luck to you, Chrissie! Frank is just over 1/4 of the way through.

6:28 pm

and yay leslie!

I'm lucky that the treatment is at mt local hospital about 6 miles away. The cancer unit is in temporary accommodation there while their usual hospital (which is further away) is being refurbised

6:29 pm

Mine was 13 years ago...for serious melanoma, 4 ops, countless CT, 2 PET, 1 chemo, 2 wonderful lifesaving radiotherapy and great specialists and surgeons. But I was still bloody lucky. All clear for 11 years, minimal side effects

6:29 pm

ah, we are lucky too, chrissie, the cancer center is right in town here

Wow, well done lynx. So many babblers are cancer survivors!

Crossy is my inspiration

6:31 pm

Thats good Chrissie...I always pity people that also need to travel huge distances. I was even to have the chemo done at home by visiting nurse - which was very cool

6:31 pm

mine too, chrissie!

6:32 pm

wow, that is really nice to have the chemo at home, lynxxx!

6:36 pm

BBL - off to the local dog wash - Stew is getting a bit woofy if you know what I mean

6:37 pm

I know exactly, lynxxx! here's to clean pups!

My cancer is a gift. It brought me and my mum closer before she passed. We were already close, but we told each other how much we loved each other more

6:38 pm

(((((chrissie))))))

Every cloud......

thanks sue

6:39 pm

this September it will be 40 years since I lost my mum, Chrissie, I'm glad you were able to get closer to yours :-)

She must have passed really young

6:40 pm

she was 50, which seemed a lot older then than it does now...

So sad

6:42 pm

it was, thanks Chrissie

Looks like we've killed the chat, sorry folks :(

6:51 pm

oh well :-) I was off doing something else (actual work) for a few minutes anyway

6:52 pm

hey all and anyone

6:52 pm

hi stid!

6:52 pm

hey sue

6:54 pm

how goes it with the teacher? I've been following your adventures on Facebook - it sounds like you are really doing well!

6:56 pm

I am tired, sue -- it was a rough week.

6:57 pm

migraine today, and don't have the energy to prune the trees the way I had hoped.

6:57 pm

it is pretty exhausting! I am sorry about the migraine, those must be awful

6:57 pm

With luck, it will be dry enough tomorrow still to take care of them, and I will have myself ready enough with lesson planning that I can avoid the computer altogether.

6:58 pm

Thanks, sue -- it's not a fun one, but it's mostly causing confusion and nausea rather than the eye problems that really sideline me.

6:58 pm

bitter cold here, we are finally getting real January weather now that January is over

6:58 pm

I think I am just ti5. How are you doing? I see from earlier that Frank is coping pretty well, are you taking care of yourself, too?

6:59 pm

Yes, I'm doing much better as well. I finished both of my big freelance assignments, so that is good!

6:59 pm

LOL I am STILL waiting for January weather. Only one day was even a little "dicey" on the roads, no snow at all and that is the one month it's almost guaranteed. I know that we can still get some snow, but I am not worried at this point that it will keep me home.

7:00 pm

I am so glad you finished those! Big projects are exhausting I think.

7:00 pm

Elder son is apparently doing okay in school this quarter... really hope he has turned things around for himself, and looking forward to his finishing the AA and getting a job!

7:01 pm

that is great, stid! Leo is doing better this semester as well, he's taking 5 engineering courses (!)

7:01 pm

Anyway, need to finish my current task now that I have taken a break. Love to Frank, and I'll be back later... ((((hugs))))) *poof*

7:02 pm

bye, stid!

Hi Sue

Sue, you and Frank are hanging in there?

7:23 pm

we are, scrabs. Frank has pretty much healed from the surgery, and the chemo isn't too bad yet (although he's just over 1/4 way through it)

7:24 pm

It will be a physical, emotional and mental marathon for Frank.

7:25 pm

it is - he's doing ok so far physically, the mental and emotional parts are still a roller coaster

7:26 pm

One day at a time. Find joy in each day.

7:26 pm

we try, thanks scrabs!

7:31 pm

uusue2, I am glad to hear Frank healed from surgery.

7:32 pm

Also hope that the chemo continues to be not so bad.

7:32 pm

R's roasted

8:19 pm

May I please have a clue for ia6-21? Thanks

8:19 pm

Bye scrabbler...sleep well :)

8:19 pm

maybe jm is thinking equine

8:20 pm

that would be a long nose

8:20 pm

oooo . . . . haha probably ru! haha

8:20 pm

*gives a horsey laugh*

8:20 pm

ia + HALF of what you say on halloween

8:21 pm

ty ru

8:21 pm

jmc, I think it is an aquiline nose. An Aquiline nose (also called Roman nose, hook nose or beak nose) is a human nose with a prominent bridge, giving it the appearance of being curved or slightly bent. The word aquiline comes from the Latin word aquilinus ("eagle-like"), a reference to the curved beak of an eagle.

8:21 pm

I love it when jm stomps her feet when counting her age

8:21 pm

ah well there you go wht. . . .that is what the Duke of Wellington had

9:12 pm

Have to admit I don't like tats but I thought it was just a bit of fun, though it was under my T-shirt!!!

9:12 pm

9:13 pm

Yes - but under the T shirt, but others had all sorts of patriotic tats, headscarves etc etc!

9:14 pm

9:14 pm

Blue nail varnish on display though - but that's a colour I wear often!

9:14 pm

So maybe, not so subtle!

9:15 pm

i wear bright red for my baseball team. . .the Nationals

9:15 pm

my boy has often made the paper for DC Flag Tattoo Day
