2:10 am

2:11 am

2:11 am

pugs, whatcha painting?

2:11 am

our front and back deck

please could i have a clue for the 10

2:13 am

yeah, you certainly need dry weather for that.

2:17 am

2:19 am

most certainly--lol

2:19 am

2:20 am

have you talked to Ruby this week? I havent seen her all week--just wondering how she was doing

2:21 am

pugs, she was on briefly last night.

2:22 am

Rose--sounds like you are having a great visit there

2:24 am

2:31 am

You enjoy them Rose! Dont let them over tire you-lol

2:31 am

DH loves kids...his own seem to be on the long road to china when it comes to committing themselves to a relationship. he is so disappointed. so when my grandkiddies come around, he just wallows in being a proxy grand-dad.

2:33 am

nearly bed-time here for the little darlings...peace will reign, and not soon enough. you should see DH scuttling about...setting up swings, taking them for walks, playing ball games...it's such a delight to see. gosh, i love this man!!

2:33 am

my hubby is heaps better with the g/kids than what he was with our own...prolly cos he is now retired and has more time for them.

2:35 am

yeah, diz...only with mine, he was a single parent for nearly 20 years. now he can relax and enjoy the good life.well...as much as he can...with mother mac here, it can become a tad exhausting.

2:36 am

wonderful. Wise woman. I hope the knee is getting better and better.

4:59 am

yes, will take care of me... I wanted to have the 2 new veggie garden containers filled and sowed. Did it. If it all works out, I am gonna have lots of fresh veggies this summer and autumn.

4:59 am

unfortunately, no. ev4 with the splint on, knee aches, when walking.

Still recovering from a very bad fall I had on Aoril 25th and have an enourmous lump on my head still, and I can't walk very well, but I am definitely getting better

4:59 am

hmmm, sprite. w

5:00 am

dem :( *sends healing vibes to rose's knee*

5:03 am

oh Jjenny, ajm so sorry to hear that! Did you get your head checked out? (That doesn't come out exactly as I planned, grin.)

5:03 am

ah, well, sweetheart, what will be, will be. am resigned to perhaps further surgery. will be further tears if that is the case. maybe looking at an anterior crucial ligament reconstruction.

5:04 am

:( That would be so sad. Am thinking of you and hoping things will work out in the best possible way.

5:05 am

poor jenny's sore head...lots of love and gentle hugs to you, sweetie.

5:05 am

*sending healing vibes to Jjenny as well*

5:06 am

and to you also, spritey. may we all have a miraculous healing.

5:06 am

amen to that

5:08 am

but I love seeing the result of my work! Makes me smile every time. Will make pictures to show you!

5:10 am

awww, thanx, sprite

5:15 am

Hello, All.

5:16 am

hi zooz *hugs*

5:16 am

Wow my second word found was the EV10!!

5:16 am

wow zooz!

5:18 am

well hey up zooz...and well done!!

5:19 am

Just read back a bit on the chog...Sorry you are still having ligament problems, Rose...Spritey over doing it again i see..what are you like tsk tsk.

5:20 am

sowwy sowwy...

5:21 am

Hows it going with you & your son, Spritey..still good?

5:22 am

yes, amazingly good. It is almost like he turned a page after our last talk. He can still be nasty, but he corrects himself and reacts much better when we have to correct him.

5:23 am

Thats is brilliant news oSprite))..I am very pleased to hear that!

5:23 am

sprite, that is so good. maybe he is starting to grow-up?

5:23 am

o=((

5:23 am

certainly looks like it. Yes, am so happy about it too :)

5:24 am

now if we could only get my eldest to grow up.....never mind, totally okay with waiting it out. *sigh*

5:24 am

and you, zooz? How are you today?

5:25 am

Bless you ((Rose))

5:25 am

*sigh* Yeah, very frustrating, rose.

5:26 am

I am fine thank you, Sprite..ticking along here :-)

5:26 am

dry but overcast today?

5:26 am

awww, thanx zooz. and thanx sprite. just give thanx for what i DO have.

5:28 am

Yes..still 17.6c at the moment.so nice and mild.

5:28 am

You?

5:28 am

you are such a beautiful person, rose.

5:29 am

same here, zooz, a little colder maybe.

5:30 am

Yes, where i am the sea breeze always knocks the temp down a degree or two.

5:30 am

it is funny how we often have the same weather

5:32 am

hehe true, Sprite.

5:32 am

I reckon, rose is about to have her evening meal!

5:33 am

sounds about right?

5:33 am

vital

5:34 am

*giggles* True, food is vi5.

5:34 am

Oh why do i keep doing that....very sorry, Everyone :-(

5:34 am

because the way the site is set up makes you do it. Don't worry about it :)

5:37 am

nope, have already eaten. needed a potty stop. and decided to get meds out at the same time. *grin*

5:38 am

hehehe rose, good for you!

5:38 am

I have been so bad this morning... was up at 4 am from the pain, then went back to bed when the kids went to school... and slept till 1 pm!

5:38 am

had chicken fillet with bacon and mushrooms. so delish....

5:39 am

not 1 pm... till noon I mean

5:39 am

oh sounds lovely!

5:39 am

good on ya, sprite. hope you feel better now.

5:40 am

sure do. Sleep is a great healer.

5:40 am

Oh i do hate that..i get all but one word on a tile...it is like the grid is saying so near but i am not giving you the last word that easily...Grr

5:41 am

can't have been noon either... was here at noon... guess I misread the clock and it was 11 am when I got up. Still, slept in big time!

5:41 am

so totally agree. this am, after taking pain meds, slept til after 8:30am. was so wonderful.

5:41 am

lolol zooz, indeed! I know the feeling :)

5:41 am

I do like my sleep

5:41 am

how lovely, rose, and so needed.

5:42 am

*giggle* zooz, if you only knew how close i come at times. it's so frustrating, isn't it ?

5:42 am

I read on facebook: "Dear sleep, I am so sorry I didn't appreciate you when I was young. I know better now. Please come back."

5:43 am

i fell asleep early yesterday afternoon. woke up at 830. thought it was the next day and couldnt understand why i still had the same grid up and it wouldnt change. took me awhile to realize it was still sunday pm... lol

5:43 am

rofl, sprite. my sentiments exactly.

5:43 am

Yes i have heard that one before, Sprite..lol

5:43 am

awwww ivesy! How disorienting!

5:44 am

poor ives. were you able to go back to sleep?

5:44 am

Oh bless you, Ivesy..that must of felt strange for a while.lol

5:44 am

yes, after awhile... slept till this morning. guess i was tired. prob more mentally

5:45 am

good for you that you listen to your body and give it sleep when it demands it.

5:45 am

am having a good run lately. guess it's because i'm not having to work. am sleeping through to about 5am each night.

5:46 am

took a vac. day today and didnt tell anyone in family(son). so i have a day to myself.

5:46 am

still brutally early, rose, but closer to normal ;)

5:46 am

oh wow ivesy, wonderful!

5:47 am

when i sleep til 5 am i think its heaven lol

5:47 am

ives, enjoy, sweetie. stolen moments are so precious.

5:47 am

I hate it when i fall into a nap..and my head has dropped forward..when i wake up a few hours later..i realize i have a big dribble mark on my jumper..lol

5:47 am

5am..good gosh i am still in the land of nod at that time.

5:47 am

insomnia is a bitch, for sure

5:48 am

hahaha zooz, yeah, painful

5:48 am

only on your jumper, zooz. my CPAP is currently suffering from rainout. i keep waking up with liquid running into my nose or down my chin.

5:50 am

that does not sound good, rose? Shouldn't you have it checked out?

5:50 am

(((Rose)))

5:51 am

very disconcerting. wakes me up quick smart. need to wipe my face and mask with a tissue.

5:51 am

well, i just turned 62.. now i wait til august for my first soc. sec. check.. i am not 62 for the whole month of june so they hold one back.. can u imagine?? scrwed up govenment.. crooks... lol

5:52 am

sprite, it's to do with the weather. when it's colder, water condenses in the hose...

5:52 am

the idiots, ivesy! *hugs and belated happy birthday* and may august come fast!

5:52 am

ah, I see, rose. How uncomfortable :(

5:52 am

ty sprite. first time i ever wanted summer to go by quickly lol

5:53 am

I can imagine, ivesy. Such a long gap to bridge :(

5:53 am

I can assure you, Ivesy..here summer hardly ever gets time to stay before it departs.

5:54 am

But i knew what you meant ;-)

5:54 am

sprite, i think the solution will be to put in ducted heating. himself is very aware of our need for it. but too late this year, will have to wait until early next year. he is so scottish in his approach to money. *sigh*

5:55 am

health over money if possible, I'd say.

5:55 am

suggestion: wake your love up, every time the wet CPAP wakes you up. We'll see how soon you have the ducted heating.

5:56 am

ooh ox**** soep is in the gris..yummy!

5:56 am

soup*

5:56 am

well, maybe i'll become a tad more testy. do you think that might work? lack of sleep, etc

5:56 am

rofl, sprite, great minds

5:56 am

Good suggestion, Sprite..lol

5:56 am

lol zooz... a comedian here once stated: "Those who have looked under the ox6, don't like the soup anymore."

5:57 am

trouble is, i am such a soft touch. could never disturb him...

5:57 am

hahahahaha..how gross

5:57 am

soep = dutch spelling of soup, zooz :D

5:57 am

Oh wow..maybe i have dutch blood!

5:58 am

your heart is too big for your own good, rose, grin. I think it would work. "Honey? Hey, honey... hi. Just wanted to share with you that the CPAP has woken me up again and now I have trouble getting back to sleep. Thought you'd like to know."

Hi everyone

5:59 am

hi Lindrickway

5:59 am

reading back on sleep and cpap.crossy is a really bad boy.the machine has to have been created by the devil and i have not used mine in months. good news however is that i no longer seem to choke at night.bad news is i sleep from 1 am to 3 am and from noon till 1:30 in the afternoon and that is my sleep

5:59 am

Hello, Lindrickway

5:59 am

Hello, Crossy

6:00 am

howdy,zooz

6:00 am

((sprite))

6:00 am

LOLOL, sprite. tried turning on my lamp, he just bought himself one of those eye-shades. he slips it on and can't see the light. then again, a verbal intrusion might just work.

6:00 am

not enough, crossy. Get back to using your machine. You didn't get it for the fun of it, now did you. *stern look*

6:00 am

*hugs crossy*

6:00 am

hey ya crossy and lin

6:00 am

crossy hangs his head in shame...

6:00 am

howdy,granny

6:01 am

Crosy got told off...crossy got told off :-)

6:01 am

guess it was not fun!! a $1,700.00 machine

6:01 am

naughty crossy...

6:01 am

How much!!...godd grief.

6:01 am

that's what I mean. Use it. Even though it is hellish.

6:01 am

This bloody keypad.

6:02 am

it is like a shop vacuum blowing in reverse up your nose and mouth all night

6:02 am

cossy, do you have to wear a full mask, or can you use just a nasal bolster?

6:02 am

blowing in reverse = sucking. It is an incubus!

6:02 am

i have to wear full mask

6:03 am

poor crossy....i managed to learn to keep my mouth shut when asleep.

6:04 am

my problem and the need for the full mask is not my mouth opening,but my nose shutting down at night

6:05 am

nobody understands, crossy. except another CPAP user. have so many problems getting himself to understand i cannot talk once the mask is in place.

6:05 am

so most of the time i must take it all in orally

6:05 am

yes,another cpap user understand very well

6:06 am

let himself wear it for an hour or 2,he will understand

6:06 am

that is a great idea

6:06 am

crossy??? the nasal bolster is so effective. would you like me to post you the large sizes to experiment with, or do you have a supplier where you can try them out?

6:07 am

but use the slow pressure ramp up setting or he will panic.

6:07 am

i have a good supplier here called medi-gas.problem is my nose blocks up at night

6:07 am

yeah, i don't ramp anymore, straight into CPAP.

6:09 am

Phantom : Identical.

6:09 am

good one

6:11 am

i borrowed my brother's surplus machine which is automatic. it increases pressure when it senses i am not breathing. problem: i don't stop breathing fully. my lungs fail to use all the muscles and do not inflate fully= hypopnia. so machine does not recognise the need to increase pressure.

6:11 am

it is really complicated, isn't it :(

6:11 am

i kept wking up, gasping for air

6:11 am

ahh.i am the opposite.i used to stope breathing 30-50 times a night

6:11 am

*waking*

6:12 am

yes,i used to gasp when i started back up

6:12 am

mrs says i used to jerk and twitch in my sleep

6:12 am

And i use to moan when i woke up from a crinked kneck...never again.

6:13 am

what i have is central sleep apnea. my brain fail to tell my lungs and associated muscles to work properly. ev4 when i am awake, which is really scarey.

6:14 am

in 57 minutes of REM sleep, i have 23 episodes of hypopnia which lasted 20-25 seconds.

6:15 am

it is amazing the varieties of apnea

6:15 am

poor crossy...so understand, mate

6:16 am

lol, coupled with full on episodes of apnea, didn't sleep very well. when i had my sleep study done, the nurse said my legs didn't stop all night. wonder why i was so tired.

6:17 am

fireflies. *hugs* to you all... and may you sleep as well as possible...

6:17 am

ahh yes,will never forget those 2 sleep tests

6:17 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

6:17 am

yaaa for sprite!!

6:18 am

Congrats, Sprite..have a great day :-)

6:26 am

i have now tried vixen for the 300th time...

6:27 am

nope, it's not in the grid, crossy

6:27 am

wel..perhaps if i try 30 or 40 more times lol

6:28 am

i should know...i tried 301 times. *giggle*

6:28 am

hehe

6:33 am

so, crossy, how are you doing with the grid?

6:34 am

just getting rolling really 100 in or so

6:42 am

okay. you may have guessed i am in and out of the chog. think i'll log out. happy babbling, crossy. hope to see you tomorrow. have a good one, mate. hugs to mrs crossy.

6:42 am

tc,granny and you have a good sleep

6:42 am

Take care, Rose.

6:43 am

must be well past midnight there

6:43 am

dive

6:43 am

oops

6:52 am

hi all, typing from 10,000 feet :)

6:53 am

6:53 am

6:53 am

where you off to?

6:54 am

atlanta for work

6:55 am

is there any play combined in the trip or is it tear down there,work and tear home?

6:55 am

6:55 am

Hello, Mael.

6:55 am

baaaad week this week

6:56 am

hi zooz!

6:56 am

now that is not fun:(

6:57 am

you will be a wreck when you get home

6:57 am

yeah, hopefully I can have a chilled out weekend when I get back

6:58 am

At least you have a nice sized to grid to keep you going on the plane :-)

6:58 am

very true :)

6:59 am

i had a brother in law once.he used to work for BMW and his job was to jet small prototype parts around the world for other BMW execs to look at.he would fill a passport every year.sadly he offed himself at 30

6:59 am

ugh, I hate flying so much. I would not be able to handle that

6:59 am

he was taking pills for stress and mixed it with booze one too many times;(( too bad ,was a good kid

6:59 am

offed?

6:59 am

killed himself,zooz

7:00 am

FENA

7:00 am

I'm sorry about your brother in law

7:00 am

Oh i see..sorry to hear that, Crosy.

7:00 am

7:02 am

jetting round the globe for business can be a tough grind

7:03 am

7:04 am

hello

7:04 am

((ruby))

7:04 am

hi ruby!

7:04 am

Hello, Ruby.

7:05 am

{{crossy}} the pluumber was here and checkied all the connections and hoes for leaks. He thinks it is a small leak coming from one of the stove's knobs, that I will need a "stove guy" to fix it, but that it isn't serious.

7:05 am

ahh ok,that is well then.still will need immediate attention

7:06 am

To be safe, however, he shows me how to turn off the gas in the kitchen. I still keep the outside door open all the time for the dogs and for the gas

7:06 am

(sorry for all the typos; am too pooped to check)

7:07 am

it is ok,i just read right through them.hardly notice them

7:07 am

91 left..wil come back later to try & finish..bye for now.

7:08 am

hi zoozz

7:08 am

tc,zooz

7:08 am

7:09 am

factory

7:13 am

I love all th words with nternal xs

7:13 am

2nd column first N stats please?

7:15 am

Hello all. ((((Ruby)))). Its been too long!

7:15 am

{{sooodlews}} I am reading a book which I will send to you as soon as it's finished

7:16 am

I tried to buy it from Amazon UK, but they gave me such a hard time about your (lack of) street address, that I grew discouraged

7:16 am

Oh goody! I'll look forward to that, Rubes. :-)

7:16 am

I am not dog-earing it as is my nasty wont

7:17 am

I know! Its a nightmare buying anything online.

7:18 am

and I am too impatient

7:18 am

(I live out in the countryside - no house numbers or street names. The poor old postman has a tough job).

7:18 am

never mind

7:19 am

I'll bet he knows everybody's biiz on his route Does he announce who your mai is from and whether they're having fun in the islands?

7:21 am

3rd column E?

7:22 am

He's a blooming nuisance!

7:22 am

my father had a mailman like that and it used to drive him crazy. He' d read the mail first

7:23 am

Good morning, ladies!

7:23 am

hello scrabs!

7:23 am

hi scrabbs!

7:23 am

I don't have any yet, ML

7:24 am

Buon giorno, mael.

7:24 am

Hi Scrabbler. :-)

7:24 am

ciao scrabbs :)

7:24 am

ei 4/5

7:24 am

ei4 duck

7:24 am

Good morning, all

7:24 am

I'm on a plane right now, it's getting rather bumpy

7:25 am

Whoa, Mael. Where are you going?

7:25 am

atlanta for work, nothing exciting :)

7:25 am

hello nana

7:26 am

I was born at Emory University Hospital in 1959.

7:26 am

nice! It's a pretty great hospital, from what I hear

7:27 am

My mother still raves about Emory and Atlanta. I recall nothing as my parents and I left when I was 10 mo old.

7:28 am

I am just outside Atlanta, in Lawrenceville.

7:28 am

I'm not a huge fan of the city itself, but that's mainly the mosquitoes that make me say that

7:28 am

Hi Marjetta.

7:28 am

At least they are not as big here as they are in Louisianna

7:29 am

I tell my mother that Atlanta has changed. It is not the same place that she loved from 1958-1960.

7:29 am

Hi Scabbler

7:29 am

hi marjetta

7:29 am

true, marjetta :)

7:29 am

b52's in Louisiana and Florida

7:29 am

It is not the same place at all Scrabbler

7:30 am

I grew up here, moved around the world for a while and then came back. It has really changed.

7:30 am

It is a huge metropolis now.

7:30 am

as far as I'm concerned they're bad enough in Boston as it is. They think I'm a buffet

7:30 am

Hi, all. My best friend of 44 years lives in Woodstock. I lived in Atlanta for 4 years and worked for a branch of Emory and sang in the original Underground. It was in the early 70's when Atlanta was just taking off as a bigger city.

7:30 am

Hi Mimi.

7:30 am

It as really exciting then.

7:31 am

((Scrabbler))

7:31 am

was, that it.

7:31 am

I have a free lunch sign that obviously only mosquitoes and other biting insect can see! lol

7:31 am

was, that is...wow, I cannot type today!

7:31 am

what was that about boston, mael? :)

7:31 am

and hello friends

7:31 am

hahaha, me too. And whatever bite I get swells to terrifying sizes

7:31 am

We have nasty black, horse and deer flies here.

7:31 am

{{trif}}

7:32 am

Hi Trif

7:32 am

They love me as well, Marjetta. I'm also allergic a bit to them so I get really sick.

7:32 am

Hi, Trif!

hello all.

7:32 am

One of my best friends lives in Woodstock now. I grew up not far from there in Marietta/Smyrna area

7:32 am

Hi Owl

7:32 am

bugs, trif :) they are bad enough in Boston, the South just kills me

7:33 am

Hi, TO!

7:33 am

may I pls have tats for the 10? no idea where to look

7:33 am

I was doing yard work last evening and was a buffet for the bugs.

hi scrabs. lazin along here after big weekend. hope everyone is well todya

7:33 am

I am allergic too. Bite pen and benedryl to the rescue.

7:33 am

funny, I was reading buffet as in Warren and didn't know what you meant duh

7:34 am

We don't really have many mosquitoes here in Phoenix and no fleas either. The dryness takes care of that.

7:34 am

haha, ruby. :)

7:34 am

hi TO

7:34 am

Hi guys. Missing one de 7/32 next to another one. it HAS to be a del but alas, it's the left-most D. Anyone?

7:34 am

My current source of anxiety is whether to get a new (used) car. My 8 yr old Subaru has 167K miles and I will need $1200-1400 in repairs soon.

hi ruby.

7:34 am

we have bats who take care of flying insets, what a pleasure and beautiful, too

7:34 am

Hi Jay

7:35 am

I have 2 bat boxes.

7:35 am

scrabby!:))

7:35 am

early morning excitement next door -- saw 2 firetrucks pull up in front of neighbor's house -- turns out their very senion Bernese mountain dog crawled under their little car and got stuck . . . brawny firemen just lifted the whole car and released sweet Brunnen!

7:35 am

Scrabs, I would definitely say get a new car. Once those repairs start happening, it just keeps on going and ends up costing more than a new one.

7:35 am

there is a bat cave in the cliff above us and they come down and drink from our fishpond

7:35 am

Crossy, my general advice man, my guru, my buddy.

7:35 am

*senior

7:36 am

wonderful, une!

7:36 am

:)))

7:36 am

Poor, silly, lucky dog!

7:36 am

he's my buddy and I was so worried

7:36 am

((crossy))

7:36 am

that's a lovely dog story; they don't often end that well

7:36 am

A bat cave--wow, Ruby.

7:36 am

((mimi))

7:37 am

whew :-)

7:37 am

they come out at dusk and if I'm in the garden, alone or with a dog or two, they make tight circles around me (us)

7:37 am

how are there 30 7s in this grid??

7:37 am

Mimi, that is what I am thinking. I like to drive my cars "into the ground" but it is tough to know when that time is.

7:37 am

can't be mael

7:37 am

Crossy, it was 109 degrees here yesterday, so I pulled out the log cabin picture and pretended it was cold!

7:37 am

30 7's! I had not noticed.

7:37 am

me either -- yikes!

7:38 am

back in a mo . . .

7:38 am

Good plan, Mimi.

7:38 am

wow ,mimi!! was 70f here and sunny witha breeze off the bay.AZ is no place for you!!

your car is young but it is not as if you can hop on the bus if you don't have it. and your mother relies on you

7:39 am

I live in a rural area, so no public transportation for me.

7:39 am

I always bought new cars for the warranty and so I'd know they were taken care of from the start. I do think it's worth the extra money. When you buy used, you don't know how well it was maintained and you start out with less time on the car....just my opinion. I'd do it SOON, though while you can get a decent trade-in.

7:39 am

*woof* everybody, time to huddle by the fire; this can't be June

7:39 am

woof,ruby:)

7:39 am

I know, crossy....gotta get outta here next year for sure.

7:40 am

nice rural area..that jeep is calling,scrabby...

7:40 am

My auto insurance company has a car-buying and loan program to help get a good price on a car and a low interest rate.

scrabs, how did you fare with the rain? i thought we would need an ark on Friday. but saturday....

7:40 am

think of how sexy you will look with the top down and your kayak strapped to the top

7:40 am

We had lots of rain and my sump pump was busy.

7:41 am

Rain.....sigh.....

7:41 am

I love my Subaru, Crossy, and I can keep my same roof rack for the kayak and canoe.

we were outdoors ALL DAY. the ride back was hairy though, through one of the worst rain bands. scary

7:41 am

ahh,thinking subaru again? the new outback sport is nice,they have a inline 6 now for a powerplant

7:42 am

Outdoors....sigh again....

7:42 am

I wish we could send you some rain, Mimi. We have had a very rainy spring.

no mimi, don't wish for this. the campers were drenched, we were SOOOOOOOO glad we were in a hotel

7:43 am

Yes, Crossy, I am back to thinking of another Subaru. Although there are Jeep and Ford dealers nearby (in the village where I work) Subaru is just a smarter choice.

7:43 am

dixie is too a word, and a place!! lol

7:43 am

We haven't had any rain in months....this drought is awful. Monsoon should be coming end of June/beginning of July.

the campground had amazingly great drainage as far as the event venues went, and nice gravel roads.

7:43 am

I tried it too, Marjetta.

7:43 am

the good outback will run the price of a fully loaded jeep however

7:44 am

I am looking at gently used Foresters, and will contact my auto insurance company for their buying program.

7:44 am

Phantom: vixen.

7:45 am

Love a grid I can sink my teeth into...rather than it sinking its teeth into ME!

7:45 am

I tried variations of that word, Mimi.

7:45 am

hi folks. At Heathrow, at my gate.

do they give warranties with that? are they "certified pre owned"?

7:46 am

Gotta go see my first patient.

7:46 am

7:46 am

Coming home, bichon?

7:46 am

7:47 am

hagd Scabbler

7:47 am

7:48 am

Trip of a life time for us

7:49 am

7:55 am

Hi, Bea and teach!

7:55 am

7:55 am

hi teach, saw Morris dancing on our trip, in Oxford

7:56 am

Can't believe I just couldn't see that for so long!

7:56 am

what a wonderful trip you must have had - did you go with a group or plan it all yourself

7:56 am

hi teach

ooh, bich! do yo know if it was cotswald or what?

and did you love it?

7:58 am

the two leaders of the Morris dancing here are from England - I have assumed that they are accurate in their portrayal of it

7:58 am

We went with Cotswolds Walking. They transported the luggage from place to place and we did the hiking

7:58 am

Totally Cotswold

i hope you have video you will share.

8:03 am

We have a video of sheep shearing.

bich, we spent a long weekend in preston ct. you are very lucky not to have tried to fly in on Friday

8:05 am

Phantom: tedious.

8:06 am

Not commenting on the chat...just a phantom..promise!

this grid is tedious. i thougt i would be happier after so many days off

8:08 am

I like the long ones...I'll never get anywhere near all the words but I feel more productive getting so many.

8:09 am

OK---not to be picky, but...isn't the "bean" here named after a place? So wouldn't that be capitalized and, thus, not allowed?

not capitalized when used as noun.

8:12 am

Sorry...making no sense to me....Am I just really stupid this morning?!

of course not.

8:13 am

Thank you, TO...I don't do well with stupid!

8:31 am

we host the international elvis festival these last 20 years or so and had to create a word for more than one elvis and elvii was chosen.it is now a recognized word in the dictionary

8:32 am

i prefer elvira

8:32 am

it's like prius --> prii

8:33 am

so we can now say "look at that group of elvii standing over by the coffee shop"

8:33 am

elvii has the benefit of being unisex.it can mean male or female

8:34 am

we get many female elvii competing

8:34 am

is elvin the number on elvis's cadillac?

8:34 am

course id di have a thing for elvira back in the day

8:35 am

if it rains our gutter and sewer grates flow with black hair dye for a week

8:36 am

Molls last night at the flip I accidentally opened a botle of tonic,thining it was a bottle of seltzer that had been opened already. Tonic spilled on my keyboard and me. I was not happy.

10:41 am

10:41 am

10:41 am

10:42 am

Ew, sticky mess Peri.

10:42 am

10:42 am

thankfully I have spare tonic :)

10:43 am

Not sure I have the correct di6

10:43 am

Hope you poured some gin over it and made the best of it, Peri.

10:43 am

Bummer.

10:44 am

ty Molly; 8's complete

10:46 am

10:47 am

10:50 am

10:55 am

thnx molly - now just need to find 4 more

11:10 am

Clue for na5/12 please?

11:12 am

Geesh. Rainy days at the Police Dept. are soooo much fun. People are obviously bored, so they call here and ask dumb questions.

11:14 am

need help with last two DE 8s - have DE 8 - get car cleaned thoroughly

11:14 am

For example: My 25 year old daughter won't leave the house. I've given her until tomorrow night. If she refuses, can I use my stun gun on her?

11:15 am

Another de8 is tooth doctor related.

11:15 am

I find tasers work better on recalcitrant children

11:16 am

Obviously, I told him not to stun her until she was in a bathtub full of water. NOT!

11:18 am

Anyone have a clue for na5/12, please?

11:18 am

sorry don't have it

11:18 am

wvteach, did you find the de8's you're missing?

11:19 am

no - tried using tooth beginning and got just 7s

11:19 am

Na5/12: sounds like the hammer's counterpart minus a vowel.

11:19 am

NA + ***erhosen

11:19 am

ooh love google's tribute to Maurice Sendak today!

11:20 am

I now occasionally hear one of their songs on the radio, but at least I heard of them before they became mainstream. I just love their music!

12:44 pm

you can practically hear them growing; it's like a Stephen King novel

3:31 pm

sorry, i have the fe 5/18 need fe 6/27 and fe 7/40

3:31 pm

lol@ remembering when vodka only came in vodka flavor.i can remember here in the nanny province of ontario when the bottles were not displayed.you had a counter with big catalogue books on it and order slips.you would go through and find the booze you were after and write it down as well as the product number,then you wnet up to the wicket and handed them the slip.they would come back with the bottle pre bagged for you,you verified the order paid for it then left

3:32 pm

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

I don't look or feel 62 either...more like 90 now....

3:34 pm

yes crossy, in niagara falls, they were one of the last stores to go "slf serve" - i think because it was such a small store..

3:34 pm

You all sound like kids to me.

3:35 pm

in bobcagine,the store was in a double wide trailer lol

3:35 pm

thanks for the fe 6/27 molly just the fe 7/40 to fish out now...\

3:35 pm

that takes far too long crossy. i just like to grab it off the shelf which luckily enough i can normally reach, pay and go :)

3:35 pm

Remember Groucho Marx said "You're only as old as the woman you feel." Of course, now with cougars (like I used to be), we can change it to the men we feel.

3:36 pm

<---prefers to just grab and go ;)

3:36 pm

I knew a guy like that once, Kate!

3:36 pm

mimi is a naughty minx today ;)

3:36 pm

never knwo,soon they may let use buy booze in regular stores

3:36 pm

Yep---starting to work BLUE any minute!

3:37 pm

instead of big brother LCBO

3:37 pm

are you still a cougar if the younger guy is 61?

3:37 pm

i hope not crossy, the selection will be crapola... have you been to quebec or bc?

3:37 pm

We can buy booze in the grocery store, crossy.

3:37 pm

poring hego a large glass and passing her some cake.you're lucky hego i was throwing it earlier but i'm too drunk now :)

3:38 pm

ty Lill, ty

3:38 pm

no,i have not.when driving east,we tend to make sure we have a full tank at the quebec border at sunset,drive all the way through and stop at a motel on the other side for a sleep

3:38 pm

searching out the hors d'oeuvres in the pb - tummy is rumbling now :(

3:38 pm

No, hego...sorry, must be at least 15 years younger, I think. My last one was 32 years younger....is that the kind of story you wanted, lilliann?!!

3:38 pm

i know you can,mimi

3:38 pm

we,sadly cannot

3:38 pm

I must be the only one who feels younger than she is. Off to play in the sandbox.

3:38 pm

whooo hoot!!!! Mimi!!

3:38 pm

Just make sure the cat didn't beat you to it, Molly!

3:39 pm

lol mimi and she's always a naughty minx kate :)

3:39 pm

No Moll, I am an eternal kid.

3:39 pm

No cats allowed near my sandbox.

3:39 pm

i do not pan on ever getting any older,in my mind that is.my body however has other ideas

3:39 pm

plan

3:39 pm

I like to think of myself as childlike...but not childish.

3:40 pm

32 years mimi...bloody hell(excuse french)i bet he kept you young :D

3:40 pm

Nah...ask crossy...I took a rowboat to England....

3:40 pm

all you will be able to get at the corner store will be god-awful ernest and julio wines, a few best selling beers and a very poor selection of liquor.... the larger towns will have larger enterprises, but hte smaller ones will lose out big time...

3:41 pm

problem with that gap is you have no frame of reference in experiences,music or life.after the sex,you want to send him out to play so you can talk with the adults;)

3:41 pm

I'm not even a big wine drinker and Ernest & Julio makes me queasy.

3:41 pm

lol@rowboat

3:41 pm

Let's just say size does matter and he was to be pitied...sad. Wish I'd sent him out BEFORE the sex, crossy.

3:41 pm

hehe

3:42 pm

I'm a big wine drinker, Molly. I love 3 buck Chuck.

3:42 pm

LMAO< Mimi

3:42 pm

Size of vocabulary?

3:42 pm

OK, grem....sure...

3:43 pm

hi bea and gremlinn :)

3:43 pm

he starts talking bout the new mp4 formats for the iphone wile you try to explain to him you had all of creams albums on 8-rack,then had to explain what an 8-track is lol

3:43 pm

hello

3:43 pm

Hi, Bea!

3:43 pm

begging for the fe 7/40 if anyone has it please?

3:43 pm

Charles Shaw is not bad, if you are on a budget.

3:43 pm

I almost typed "hellol" - that's when you're thrown a greeting and joke at once.

3:43 pm

Of course, with him I'd only need to explain a 6-track....

3:44 pm

If you drink it like I do, you need cheap.

3:45 pm

Don

3:45 pm

Don't even feel bad for him, guys....he wasn't a nice guy either.

3:45 pm

** finito ** last word AT 5/10

Yay, teach!

3:46 pm

Well done!! Teach.

3:50 pm

trying to send mimi and gremlinn some cooling breezes

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

I like it under 60F.

3:52 pm

ahhhh, tyvm molly!

3:52 pm

Well, I'm just staying put at home in the a/c....no choice. I feel lucky I have a home and can be in a cool house...can't even stand thinking about the homeless on a day like this...and for the 2 months to come.

3:52 pm

Can't even let myself think about the animals......

3:52 pm

Hope the homeless have some shade, at any rate.

3:52 pm

OK...going now...bbl. Hugs all around.

3:53 pm

the older i get, the less i can stand the heat (and humidity)... never used to bothere me until lately

3:53 pm

bye Mimi

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

That's hormones, Kate...I'm convinced God doesn't like older women....OK--where's the lightning strike!

3:53 pm

bye mim. great seeing you as usual tc hin and hugs

3:54 pm

<----not impressed with "mental-pause"

3:54 pm

{{{lilliann}}}

3:55 pm

the heat thing goes away after awhile.

3:55 pm

Having a senior moment right now....where did I put that remote? Poof!

3:55 pm

then the arthritis thing starts.

3:56 pm

my hair is sweating :(( i must poof any second without warning, hagd everyone. see you tomorrow

3:56 pm

Bye dear Kate.

3:57 pm

ni5/16?

3:57 pm

nm

3:58 pm

you must be tired of hearing "but it's a dry heat.." mimi, a bonfire is also a dry heat but you will not catch me sticking my head in one lol

3:58 pm

Bea, my friends who drink wine say Trader Joe's is the place to go if you don't have big bucks to spend on it.

4:00 pm

Crossy, just went to a news site and there is a guy that owns a place called Chicken Charlie's that now offers a sloppy joe sandwich but using Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the bread! He also has deep-fried bacon wrapped pickes!

4:00 pm

For an everyday wine, TJ's is great. When I want to splurge, I'll buy something more expensive.

4:00 pm

bye kate tc hin :)

4:00 pm

err.no thank you mimi,that is too much even for me

4:01 pm

Yep...I'm feeling a bit queasy myself....gone again.

4:01 pm

Blech, that sounds awful.

4:01 pm

i think anoter place has a krispy kreme bacon cheeseburger thing going as well

4:01 pm

Some people just aren't particular WHAT they put in their mouths....and I'll stop right there....!

4:02 pm

besides,the only place that sells those doughnuts in ontario are the wal-marts that invaded us by the time they get to use,they are not that much to talk about

4:02 pm

costco has good wine prices. . . but you have to buy a case

4:02 pm

hi all

4:03 pm

howdy jmc

4:03 pm

Buying a case isn't a problem.

4:03 pm

What....no LOL's for that one?!!!

4:03 pm

do they have a nice case of 1948 dom?? lol

4:03 pm

:-)

4:03 pm

Go Bea!! : D

4:04 pm

i haven't seen it cross but i am not sure anyone had at this point. . . .

4:04 pm

Poof and gone for real.

4:04 pm

Got to bzz...back for the last 32 later...pfft

4:04 pm

i go to our supermarkets bea and i never spend more than £4 if i can help it.it hink some cheap wine can taste as good or if not better than some expensive ones.

4:04 pm

I seriously doubt Costco deals in wine that expensive.

4:04 pm

hi jmc

4:05 pm

hi all

4:05 pm

bye mimi

4:05 pm

bye bea

4:05 pm

not a big wine fan but always wanted to try those wines in a box.set myself up with a good book in my favorite chair and a length of 1/4 inch flex line with a clip on the mouth end and just go to it

4:05 pm

it has some decent wine and it is true there are some good cheap wines . . . .but there are not great cheap wines. . .

4:06 pm

don't tell ru bu i buy wine in a box. . . it allows me to only drink a glass and not worry about it going bad. . .

4:06 pm

i like the wine boxes crossy

4:06 pm

that's actually a good idea crossy :D

4:07 pm

it is ok,jmc,they are still getting used to science telling them that the scew cap does a better job than any cork

4:07 pm

indeed lillian was thinking on a gravity feed set up

4:08 pm

Ahahahahaha...only a glass...ahahahahaha!

4:09 pm

think i can get some IV like at the med supply house

4:09 pm

line

4:09 pm

i like namaqua which comes in a box and tesco's use to sell it and it was always popular and sold out quickly in most of their stores which is why they have stopped stocking it!!??

4:10 pm

question: does box wine keep as well as a sealed bottle? can it be kept for months on end??

4:10 pm

it is a south african wine.they now sell lionsgate and that sells out quickly too so no doubt, they'll stop selling that soon as it is popular

4:11 pm

of wine molls of wine. . . you don't here me looking for jack in the box. . .

4:11 pm

*hear

4:11 pm

The way I've heard it, once you open a bottle it's only good for a few days, re-corked or not. No clue about box wine.

4:11 pm

mine's never there long enough, so i don't know crossy..lol

4:11 pm

hang on, i have a box in, i'll havea look

4:12 pm

that is the value of boxed wine. . .there is no way for the air to get in so it doesn't change. . .

4:12 pm

lol,yup,guess the stuff never has time to expire.like my bacon.someone asked me about expiry dates on bacon packaging and i had to say" to be perfectly honest,the problem has never come up for me"

4:13 pm

it has to be consumed within 6 weeks

4:13 pm

ahh,ok

4:13 pm

inside the box is a vacuum sealed bag. . . i confess pulling out the spigot is vaguely reminiscent of pulling out another "spout" like object. . .

4:13 pm

that is the lawyers talking lill. . . .

4:13 pm

Same thing happened to me about the expiration date on eggs. I never have them long enough for that to be a problem.

4:14 pm

lol crossy.i must admit i have bacon in the fridge for weeks

4:14 pm

same here with eggs,never ever had one long enough for it to go bad

4:14 pm

gasp!! lillian!!

4:14 pm

expiration dates are written by frightened lawyers

4:14 pm

oh ok jmc

4:14 pm

i buy bacon on sale and put some of it in the freezer. . .

4:15 pm

and eggs unless hubby is home as he loves his eggs and eats them instead of taking pills for the rest of his life

4:15 pm

bought 4 pounds at once a while ago.it was on sale.still never had to worry about expiration or the need to freeze any lol

4:15 pm

??? Eats eggs instead of taking pills for what?

4:16 pm

well 4 pounds is a lot of bacon for me all by my lonesome. . .

4:16 pm

i am feeding 3,one of them a 19 year old with hollow legs

4:16 pm

i know the dates on food is a guide really,it's there to cover the shops, so i'm never worried if a pack or box of something isn't eaten in that time and i've never got ill from out of date food yet

4:16 pm

<---Could never go through 4 pounds of bacon before the expiration date.

4:17 pm

want to bowwow my 19 year old son? he will clean that fridge out

4:17 pm

borrow

4:17 pm

that's why i freeze it molls

4:17 pm

lol@ bowwow

4:17 pm

arf

4:18 pm

that is also about it,i do not think he chews. it is more tear,rend and swallow

4:19 pm

I have a 21 year old and he doesn't eat quite that much.

4:19 pm

when he was younger and use to do body building apparently the coach was giving everyone shakes that had steroids in and no-one knew and my hubby ended up in a coma for a few days and they told him he would have to be on tablets for the rest of his life to help thin his blood(i think it was thin or it could be thicken, i can't remember) anyway he didn't want anymore drugs in his system so the dr looking after him said that he had a dr friend who did herbal medicine and they found out eggs was the best thing

4:19 pm

my 27 yo has scrolled back to eating less than i do. . . but my 40 yo nephew has never paused. . .

4:20 pm

meanwhile,if i eat a potato chip at the wrong time of day,i am burping it for 3 days:((

4:20 pm

that is a horrible story lill

4:21 pm

it is jmc as he was on his motorbike at teh time when he felt odd and can't remember anything.he was lucky he didn't get killed.atleast the coach went to prison

4:22 pm

your hubby is lucky,lillian.that could have done even more damage

4:23 pm

My boy eats pretty healthy for a guy his age and size. He is way beyond junk food.

4:24 pm

he was very lucky in alot of ways crossy

4:29 pm

<----- Huge fan of wine-in--a-box! Ah! Those halcyon days of the hypermarket in Calais. 10 litreboxes of wine. I was tempted to jettison a kid or two, just to make room for more vino!

4:30 pm

LOL soodle and hi :)

4:30 pm

lol!! soodles ! and her car full of 10 litre boxed plonk!!

4:33 pm

Son of Soodle is billeted very close to Dover. I'm very tempted to try another 'booze-cruise' on the Channel Tunnel!

4:33 pm

Raise a glass to L, Soodle. It's her birthday.

4:33 pm

i have heard about the new chunnel

4:34 pm

happy b-day lillian!!

4:34 pm

Ah!!! ((((Lill))))). Many happy returns. Hope your having a wonderful day. XX

4:35 pm

ty crossy and soodle.x

4:36 pm

is he in the army soodle?

4:36 pm

probably a stupid question

4:36 pm

She has made a mess of the PB and is pouring size large glasses of vodka.

4:37 pm

dentiled! now crossy can run to the pb!!

4:37 pm

Lol! Not so stupid! His Dad's English. But no, he works for Southern Gas Networks.

4:37 pm

I don't think so L. But I can see why you asked. "Billeted" is a military term here.

4:37 pm

i was just going to say that molly :)

4:37 pm

and here

4:38 pm

where near dover?

4:38 pm

'Billeted' is his term! Indicating that its temporary.

4:38 pm

yes, no small measures in the pb tonight.we're having a party!!

4:39 pm

ahh, ok

4:39 pm

He's in Hastings, Lil. I hope to get over there at some time over the summer.

4:40 pm

i like Hastings.good for shopping.

4:40 pm

Cross, the 'Chunnel' is the most efficient mode of transport I have ever used. Drive your car onto a train, and 20 minutes later, voila, you're in France!

4:41 pm

i can't go in teh tunnel as it makes me dizzy so i have to take the longer journey on the ferry, but i prefer the ferry

4:41 pm

<---Is totally creeped out by underwater transport. : O

4:42 pm

sounds like a bit of fun

4:42 pm

my brother's girlfriend uses the chunnel regularly as she is a customs officer in france for the english side

4:43 pm

how far from paris itself does the chunnel exit at

4:44 pm

?

4:44 pm

Yup! Theres French customs on the English side & vice versa.

4:45 pm

the tunnel ends at calais crossy

4:45 pm

and then the train continues to paris and wherever else. calais to paris is about 4 hours

4:45 pm

But you can get the Eurostar all the way from London to Paris.

4:46 pm

ahh ok.that is the one i would be after,right from london to paris

4:47 pm

I won a great prize once, that included the London Paris train, followed by dinner in the Jules Verne restaurant on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower!

4:47 pm

when we are in the U.K,i wanted to do a pit stop in london to see my uncle and his family and was debating a weekend in paris

4:48 pm

How come you can win everything but the lottery?

4:48 pm

wow! soodles,that sounds amazing!

4:48 pm

london to folkestone is just under 2 hours

4:48 pm

Magnifique, Crossy!

4:48 pm

sounds brilliant soodle. did you have a good time and you seem to be very lucky.luck of the irish eh!:D

4:49 pm

I'm getting closer, Molls. €230 last week. :-)

4:50 pm

i need some of your irish luck soodle

4:51 pm

mm.chunnel from london to paris is 126 dollars per person ,one way:(

4:51 pm

Blowing special birthday Irish luck across the Irish Sea to Lil......

4:52 pm

so we would spend $720.00 just in chunnel tickets:((

4:52 pm

what's that in pounds crossy?

4:52 pm

thanks soodle, i got it...hopefully:)

4:52 pm

you pund is worth roughly $1.65 to our canadian dollar

4:53 pm

pound

4:53 pm

i would call it in around 600-650 pounds

4:53 pm

And thats just the start, Crossy. Paris is an expensive city.

4:53 pm

:((

4:54 pm

so roughly, £300. i would wait until your here because you might get cheaper tickets on that day

4:54 pm

happy birthday soodle *runs back out to work project*

4:54 pm

Pffft...it's L's birthday.

4:54 pm

Paris is very expensive but then so is London and majority of capital cities

4:55 pm

lol molly

4:55 pm

So much for that "one glass of wine". : P

4:55 pm

omg, £600. you can tell that maths isn't my strong point :)

4:55 pm

5:09 pm

cart/horse molly :P

5:09 pm

5:13 pm

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

5:14 pm

:-) thanks lilliann

5:14 pm

Are plurals more deterimental than beneficial to have in a language, I wonder.

5:14 pm

Japanese gets by without plurals for the most part.

5:15 pm

Also, I vote the letter "Q" out of the alphabet. We can use "kw" instead.

5:16 pm

And save on u's. I like it.

5:16 pm

vi6/27 pls

5:17 pm

Plural of vi5

5:17 pm

nm it was a pl :)

5:17 pm

Blood pressure, pulse, etc...plural

5:17 pm

ty Molls

5:17 pm

It is more aesthetically pleasing to have a 25 letter alphabet, too. It would align perfectly with the 5x5 grid!

5:18 pm

ty molly

5:18 pm

may I have some clues for the 8's, in have se, en, vi.please?

5:18 pm

<---the nurse got that one...

5:19 pm

53 left, need a break, bbs

5:19 pm

I would hope so.

5:20 pm

hello, back again

5:20 pm

Hi Annie :-)

5:21 pm

wb annie :)

5:21 pm

(((annie)))

5:21 pm

vi8 looks like a fancy spelling of the vi7

5:22 pm

Oh Lord, the weather radar map looks like Armageddon.

5:22 pm

lots of biology/chemical words that end in -in are also spelled with a certain additional vowel added

5:23 pm

do you want those ones magzel or you already have them?

5:23 pm

The Irish language alphabet has only 18 letters. No J, V, W, X, Y or Z!! Now, beat that for an interesting tidbit if the day, Crossy!

5:23 pm

Doesn't sound very jazzy, Soodle!

5:23 pm

I live on the 23rd floor and I cannot see a thing out the window..very very foggy

5:24 pm

No jazz here Grem! Just diddly-eye!

5:24 pm

interesting indeed!!..well all you need is ways to spell whiskey and a few other things right? hehe

5:24 pm

Ouch molly...something headed your way?

5:25 pm

whiskey can be spelled usquabae - tidbit

5:25 pm

I would have to pretend I was mute if I were ever in a room full of Gaelic speakers.

5:25 pm

all i am going to do is say 'glenfidditch" then let the barkeep do his thing

5:25 pm

dixie should be a word....whistling anyhoo

5:26 pm

From the Irish.... Uisce beatha! The water of life.

5:26 pm

All the people in Scotland will be happy about that.

5:26 pm

The Glenfidditch thing.

5:27 pm

So "usque" by itself is water?

5:27 pm

and i can say smirnoff in many langauages:))

5:27 pm

could I at least have the stats

5:27 pm

barring that i can point at the bottles behind the bar and hold my glass up

5:27 pm

Uisce! Pronounced ishka.

5:28 pm

for the 8's

5:28 pm

de8 x 3 di8 en8 fe8 vi8

5:28 pm

Wow Annie. The 23rd floor? Yikes. I'd be a basket case! Lol

5:28 pm

magzel.de8/50 is an animals home and what we put on walls in bathrooms and kitchens and also floors

5:29 pm

that's definitely a long way up annie.i take it you are in the clouds :)

5:29 pm

just have to remember to wear a tag around my neck with the address of the place i am staying written on it:)

5:29 pm

en8/45

5:29 pm

anyone have a clue for the in7/32?

5:30 pm

* fits "newspaper" in as the answer to lilliann's clue (home to hamsters, sometimes - put on walls/floor when painting indoors)

5:30 pm

in + proof copy + vowel

5:30 pm

de7/8/55 when you say no to an offer

5:30 pm

ty

5:31 pm

Crossy, my Dad was a whiskey drinker. Blackbush was his personal favourite.

5:31 pm

cllue for di 8/60 please

5:31 pm

My friend sent me a picture of the balcony of her 53rd floor condo in Miami. I got dizzy just looking at it.

5:31 pm

too deep in d's....need a break...bbs...

5:32 pm

i don't have it yet annie, sorry

5:32 pm

I nearly had a heart attack when I looked out the window of our hotel in NYC. We were on the 53rd floor.

5:33 pm

53 floors is way too many i think

5:33 pm

I can't stay up that high. Acrophobia. Plus you would never get out in an emergency.

5:34 pm

It sure is if the elevators break down!

5:34 pm

that is why i think it is way to many molly.great view though

5:34 pm

Elevators get shut down in an emergency.

5:34 pm

You could get out if all the other buildings around were that high, and you had sky bridges!

5:35 pm

mmm, definitely too many stairs for to go down on my backside soodle. i'd have no skin left :)

5:35 pm

I live in a bungalow. And am happy to do so!

5:35 pm

When Sandy hit last October I walked down 24 flights of stairs to get out.

5:35 pm

i'd have to do a bungie out the window

5:35 pm

Annie I get sweaty and breathless just thinking about that.

5:36 pm

DI8 Di + nouns, advectives & super******

5:36 pm

that's alot of stairs annie

5:36 pm

All tall buildings should come with helix-shaped slides for people to go down floors. Kids like them, why should they get all the fun?

5:36 pm

Im used to it. When I first moved in I wouldn't go near the windows. Now I love it...great views.

5:36 pm

< what Molls said

5:36 pm

lol gremlin. that's a good idea

5:36 pm

Zooz! Thank you.

5:37 pm

yw :-)

5:38 pm

5:42 pm

omg, my rave days have long gone as in dancing but rave as never shut up, i'll be here to annoy people for years to come hopefully :)

5:43 pm

Remember to rant as well. Raving without ranting is unbalanced!

5:43 pm

5:45 pm

i love your icon painting jmc

5:45 pm

♫ Happy Birthday Lillian ♫

5:45 pm

go zooz!!

5:46 pm

ty jill :D

5:46 pm

No, it's just L's birthday.

5:46 pm

i got loads of chocolates today so the bairn and my hubby will enjoy them :)

5:47 pm

ty lill the artist is a friend of mine

5:47 pm

well, she is very talented.do you own this painting then jmc?

5:47 pm

well silly me then. . . that is what i get for breezing through. . . .

5:47 pm

Well, it's Maurice Sendak's birthday too, but I don't think L minds sharing with him, since he is done with birthdays.

5:48 pm

saying that, the bairn bought me some knowing that i wouldn't eat many,like the cake..lol she's not stupid :D

5:48 pm

i own the right to post it on my webpage. . . i own several other of her works including some that i commissioned. . .

5:48 pm

clever bairn

5:49 pm

you'll have to show more of her work jmc, as it would be good to see them and a good advert

5:49 pm

www.marybelcher.com

5:50 pm

she's definitely not stupid jmc, that's for sure, but she is sneaky

5:50 pm

need to google maurice

5:50 pm

writing that down jmc so i can look later

5:50 pm

nah. . .that is way to transparent to be called sneaky. . haha

5:51 pm

I don't know. That is like getting a tool kit from your husband on your birthday. Bad form.

5:52 pm

no, she's sneaky in other ways

5:52 pm

Or "Happy birthday Mom. I got you that shirt in my size that I've been wanting."

5:52 pm

not quite that bad. . .although i gave my sister a tool box on her birthday right after she dumped her jerk hubby

5:54 pm

saying that, she did buy me a pack with mini sized chocolates that she thought was 70% dark chocolate with different flavourings but some ended up being milk chocolate which i don't eat as i find it sickly

5:54 pm

haha so she tried!

5:54 pm

okay i am wandering off again. . .bbl

5:54 pm

Oh honey. Thank you for the sickly chocolates!

5:55 pm

other people bought me chocolates and i didn't like to say i don't eat tehm so she'll be getting alot of them but i'll have to hide them or she'll pinch them all very quickly!!

5:55 pm

Doesn't anyone know that you don't like chocolates?

5:56 pm

i don't think she realized molly as alot of the packaging was hiding them so you could only see the 70% dark chocolate ones, so i can't blame her for that but when she found out she was very happy :)

5:57 pm

hello friends

5:57 pm

No, I meant the other people who got you chocolates.

5:57 pm

my brother should, but i think his girlfriend ordered my beautiful flowers and it came with a box of chocolate and she doesn't know as i haven't met her yet and my daughter's boyfriend's mam always buys me chocolates for christmas and just because and i don't have the heart to tell her i don 't eat them

5:58 pm

hi trif

5:58 pm

Hello dear friend. How is your dear self today? Deary I hope. : P

5:59 pm

i'd actually prefer a tool box or somewthing i could use as in kitchen scissors, things like that, even a box of tissues. i'm very much like my husband, but i'm still very thankful that people have spent their money and gone out of their way for me

6:00 pm

A box of tissues? I think you rate better than that on your birthday L.

6:01 pm

it wouldn't bother me if someone bought me a box molly as i can use them :)

6:01 pm

i still need 14 x7's. they are neverending!!

6:02 pm

You are easy to please L. : )

6:03 pm

yes i am molly :D

6:03 pm

I'm glad you got pretty flowers.

6:03 pm

i don't need expensive gifts and i'd prefer someone to give me some beads so i can make my own jewellery than buy me a piece of jewellery

6:04 pm

hello all...been lurking....

6:04 pm

I learned a long time ago that you either tell people what you want when they ask, or you get a bunch of stuff you don't want/need.

6:05 pm

so am i molly. they are beautiful.there are lillies,gypsophelia(spelt wrong)pink roses, gerbras and some green leaves :)

6:05 pm

no-one asks me, so i don't like to say what i want

6:05 pm

hi pen :)

6:07 pm

the flowers actually have a lovely scent, wheras sometimes you get flowers and they have no smell as they are forced

6:07 pm

*sigh* another confused call from my mother in law...

6:08 pm

Jill is she still living on her own?

6:10 pm

She's in an independant apartment now in Gillette WY where my hubby's sister lives. So more family supervision

6:11 pm

sorry jill, that has to be tough

6:11 pm

We are having great difficulty with the youngest sister whom is causing more problem. We started a privated FB family group to try to keep communication between us

6:12 pm

Sheesh, my typing sucks!

6:13 pm

how old is the youngest one jill and don'r worry about it, we all end up with mistakes here :)

6:13 pm

see...lol

6:14 pm

She is 45. Spoiled youngest child..

6:14 pm

Independent living can be difficult for someone with Alzheimer's.

6:15 pm

so why is she causing trouble?

6:15 pm

Personally she needs to be in assisted living, but eldest sister (there where she is) supposedly is following her pills...

6:16 pm

Lilllian, she tends to "rattle on" on phone calls talking about coming to see Mom, then Mom can't remember when and keeps calling us asking where Mary is..or like last week, she didn't let any of us know she had cancelled plans to come that weekend.

6:17 pm

communication people, communication!

6:18 pm

Whoever has agreed to look after your mother in law needs to be a constant in her life. If that isn't possible, you're right, she needs assisted living.

6:18 pm

my nan who has senile dementia is now in a home.she will be 96 this year but about 4 years ago she was in her own flat but with a warden, but shouldn't have been living on her own then as her memory was going but now she doesn't remember anyone and has got very physical with others and on tablets to calm her down. it is upsetting to know she is like that.she lives about 5 hours away from me but i don't want to see her as it would really upset me. i want to remember her how she was

6:18 pm

she should be telling you

6:19 pm

Not really an issue molly, the family there is overseeing her daily+, there are also $$ issues so waiting is what they want to do

6:19 pm

I would have like to remembered my Dad the way he was, but that wasn't an option. I was all he had.

6:20 pm

This whole dementia/Alzhiemers disease is horrid. I say prayers daily that I can die suddenly and not have to go through all this. Wish that wasn't what my hubby is going to go through.

6:20 pm

That is sad for your mother in law Jill. I will keep her in my prayers.

6:20 pm

my aunty went to see her last week as she lives about 50 minutes away and my nan just got up and walked out on them and went outside with her newspaper because she couldn't remember her own daughter

6:21 pm

Fireworks for me...bed time for me...((Jilly)) ((Molly)) ((Lilliann))

6:21 pm

It is horrid Jill.

6:21 pm

that is sad molly.

6:21 pm

And my brother in law there has the same thing with his mom, this must be so hard for him. His mum is already at the point she doesn't know him.

6:21 pm

wtg zoom!! nite hin, sweet dreams and tc :D

6:22 pm

Niters zoozzoom! WooTs all around!

6:22 pm

D's demolished!

6:23 pm

I wish there was more family education about Alzheimer's. It's not about whether or not someone knows who you are. It's about them having a regular kind visitor.

6:23 pm

phantom...eclair...now I am hungry!

6:23 pm

it upsets me that my nan never wanted to go into a home but she has 24 hour care.we use to be close and talk on the phone atleast twice a week

6:23 pm

And family checking constantly molly!

6:24 pm

I still think there are moments that they do still connect...that's why visiting can help.

6:26 pm

There are definitely moments when they do still connect.

6:26 pm

i've worked with people with senile dementia and alzeimers and i've become angry when some family members don't visit but i can now understand being on the otherside.my nan doesn't remember anyone who visits now or rings up, and it's knowing when she will have a good day.plus. apart from my aunt, we all live to far away just to visit regulary

6:27 pm

Family home, time to prepare dinner...137 left...thanks for supporting me all...you will never know how much this babble family means to me!!

6:27 pm

*poof*

6:27 pm

Hang in there Jill.

6:27 pm

tc jilly big hugs

Hi Owl

7:34 pm

We werent posting words willy nilly. We were asked for clues and many of them had the same start. How is the weather there?

7:35 pm

They did it on purpose TO. Those two have been into the vodka all day. : D

o.O

7:35 pm

HIc, I begsh yur purdon...Leaning on lamp post

7:39 pm

have you got the fe6 pen?

7:39 pm

fe8/55...Greek cheese with different last vowel and T**** Of The Crypt

7:39 pm

Time to warm up left-overs. Been concentrating on the words and have 104 left. All the time I have for this today. We went to a movie, The Great Gatsby. One of those things necessary for the well-rounded education but pretty shallow people and the main message is that vice doesn't pay.

7:39 pm

no, i don't have the fe 6/27...

7:39 pm

thank god molly clued it as i couldn't think how

i want to add new friends but they must be segregated under acquaintances.

whom are you asking, annie?

7:40 pm

i'd need to look at fb properly as they had changed it last time i went on and i didn't like the change

7:41 pm

trying to make that work, molly...

7:42 pm

Owl, About the weather? I was asking you.

7:42 pm

Thank you, TO!

7:52 pm

Back for the last 32.

i have been away from computer, email, voicemail, for five days. feels strange to be back

7:52 pm

Good evening all. Good luck, Mimi.

7:52 pm

I know what that's like, TO...it feels like nothing is right with the universe and you're missing a limb!

7:53 pm

fingers crossed mimi.good luck hin

no, the opposite, actually

7:53 pm

Thanks, Bea!

7:53 pm

Dear lilliann...thanks.

7:53 pm

TO.are you wanting to add friends from looking for them?

lili i don't understand your ?

7:54 pm

I'm like kryptonite to computers...killed two already...hated being without.

7:54 pm

199 left. peraps bbl

some have sent me friend reqs and others I will friend

7:54 pm

well you said you want to add friends on fb, but do yopu want to look for a certain person or ask a person, say from babble or another game you play

see below post pls

7:55 pm

so what is the problem you're having friending them then?

LIL, i do not want them to see posts i make, just to see theirs.

i understand i need to make a list and add them to it so i don't have to individually exclude them each time i post

7:56 pm

so you just accept their friend requests if you want.oh,hang on

7:56 pm

Not a fan of Facebook...just don't acknowledge most.

li, it's ok, i will sort it out later on my own ty

7:57 pm

I consider most trite and uninteresting....not worth my time.

7:57 pm

i think you need to go on your padlock and change the sewttings

7:58 pm

Lilliann....looking forward to hearing from you daughter and talking about animals!

roger, mimi

7:58 pm

hi all!

7:58 pm

{{sue}}

7:59 pm

hi mimi, TO, lilli!

the orgs o which i belong use it to post info about their activities. i am a bit old to be posting crap about my daily activities

7:59 pm

Sue, asking everyone to hold good thoughts about a part-time job I just got a call back for....

hi sur

so most interesting to me

7:59 pm

thinking good job-acquiring thoughts, mimi!

8:00 pm

I'm with you, TO...no interest in what games people are playing and what they did for lunch....boring.

8:00 pm

Thanks, sue!

8:00 pm

if you don't want fb friends to be able to see anything but your public posts, put them on the restricted list http://devilsworkshop.org/tips/hi\nde-facebook-updates-friends-restricted\n-list/44687/

time for a breal

8:00 pm

Way too much trouble for me, Buggie...just ignore most of it!

8:01 pm

Bye, TO---I am WITH you!

8:02 pm

nbs and nbt, maybe I can get half way before bed time

8:02 pm

Good for you, sue....I'm about ready for dinner and martinis!

8:03 pm

Good evening Babblers

8:03 pm

sounds good - we had dinner and margaritas and are now home chilling out

8:03 pm

hi wht!

8:03 pm

H, wht1

8:03 pm

Sue, I'm just so grateful for having my little home and my cats and my wonderful friends....life is good.

8:04 pm

glad to hear that, mimi! I am looking forward to retiring (again) in a couple of weeks.

8:04 pm

hi sue :)

8:04 pm

I don't have a love now, but I have excellent memories of past loves and I have been lucky.

8:04 pm

hi wht

8:05 pm

sorry, it took me forever to get off fb as it froze when i went to log out which is one of the reasons i don't go on it much anymore

8:06 pm

I feel it is important to be grateful for what we DO have rather than lament what we don't....much more satisfying.

8:06 pm

that is a very good way to look at things, mimi

8:07 pm

It is a choice, I feel...why be unhappy when most of us should be grateful?

8:07 pm

ty buggie. i'm with you and TO mimi. i don't post very often.i just did to say ty for my birthday wishes but other than that i probably won't be on again for a while

8:07 pm

Lillian...do have your daughter contact me...I have SO many wonderful animal stories she would love and I LOVE to tell them!

8:10 pm

exactly mimi. we should be thinking of what we have and not dwell on what we don't.life is hard but i think if a person wants to, then they can overcome most obstacles

8:10 pm

i will mimi and tyvm

8:10 pm

You are such a good example of gratitude in the face of hardship, lilliann...I'm so proud of you!

8:12 pm

ty, but i just get on with it.there's no point in complaining.i'm alive and have a daughter and husband that i love very much and a great family. what's to moan about.life is too short and we will all have problems to copew with along the way and some will be very tough but i think with the right attitude we can get through them

8:13 pm

You're an inspiration, dear.

8:14 pm

I'm so happy I have been able to know you....this is a wonderful community of fantastic people.

8:15 pm

i don't think so.i just have a positive outlook on things. i just don't see the point in being a pessimist, but don't get me wrong, i still have bad hours where i start feeling sorry for myself but then i think of others who have it harder

8:16 pm

Yes, I understand....I have been to very dark places in my life. But I have come out on the other side. There is grace in everyday life.

8:16 pm

ty hin, i'm glad i've met you too and am so looking forward to reading your books so hurry up and write them :) and your right, there are some lovely and inspirational people on here

8:16 pm

This site is such a blessing....I am grateful.

8:17 pm

I agree! I have found a community here that has been incredibly supportive

8:17 pm

Going to make dinner. My gratitude and blessings to all and hugs all around.

8:18 pm

how is frank by the way sue?

8:18 pm

{{{{mimi}}}}

8:18 pm

he is ok, lilli, he is done with chemo but only just, so still having side effects

8:18 pm

he is getting really anxious about what the scan will show

8:19 pm

hugs mim and enjoy your dinner.xx

8:19 pm

He has so many positive wishes coming his way, sue...he WILL be fine.

8:19 pm

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

So many of you are in my prayers every night.....love and hugs.

8:20 pm

thanks, lilli!

8:21 pm

ty mimi big hugs back :D

8:21 pm

I absolutely love the fact that we have not met but connect on a soul level....amazing.

8:22 pm

i know coll eh, but if we met, we'd probably hate eachother..lol

8:23 pm

No, dear, we would not....I have not doubt we would connect and be fabulous friends. Starving...so going to have dinner. Hugs again.

8:23 pm

Oh, I think we'd click in person too - I have met a number of babblers now and they have all been lovely

8:23 pm

throw some at the screen for me please mimi, as it will be my breakfast soon :)

8:24 pm

Feeding you amply, lilliann, dear! Bye til tomorrow!

8:24 pm

i think we would too sue. there are loads of babblers that i would love to meet on here and if i ever win loads of money on the lottery i will travel and visit you all :)

8:25 pm

bye mim, tc hin :D

8:25 pm

sorry, i mean to put mimi, but my i seems to be playing up

8:26 pm

some babblers will be choking on a cuppa now, saying 'please don't'!!

8:26 pm

Good love to you and blessings abound.....poof!

8:26 pm

my babble vacation last August was wonderful, and gave me memories I will cherish for a long time

8:27 pm

May I please have a clue for fe6-27? Thanks

8:28 pm

we don't have many big meet ups here even though the uk isn't very big.i've met up with flask and am good friends with her but that is the only person i've met. i would love to meet soodle and hopefully in the summer the bairn and i could go over to ireland to see her

8:28 pm

hi peach! Don't have it but will look

8:29 pm

Thanks, sue.

8:29 pm

it's abit like the 5 before it but add a vowel

8:30 pm

as in baby position in pregnancy

8:32 pm

ha, took me a while to figure out where to put the extra vowel

8:32 pm

sorry, bad clue

8:33 pm

I'm still trying.....

8:33 pm

Not a bad clue, lilliann.....I'm just groggy.

8:33 pm

peach, greek cheese but reverse the last vowel with another

8:34 pm

what about the fe 7/40?

8:34 pm

if you have the fe5 that is peach

8:34 pm

Got it.....thanks y'all.

8:34 pm

pl the fe6 pen

8:35 pm

fe5/8and 6 are all go off the same word

8:35 pm

the fe8 is also an unusual plural of the fe6 (or at least looks like it)

8:35 pm

yw peach

8:35 pm

ah...thought that was an adjective...didn't think to pluralize it....

8:42 pm

down to 28....very slow going....

8:42 pm

tell me about it pen

8:43 pm

can i have a clue for the el7 please

8:43 pm

Kin, without the first letter.

8:44 pm

Had a very nice BBQ steak dinner but left myself enough calories for a very tall G&T later....LOL...now to tackle this bad boy again!

8:44 pm

Or, as Einstein would say, it is all r*******

8:44 pm

tyvm wht

8:44 pm

nice clue wht!

8:46 pm

wb jill.it's 2.45am here but now i could just eat a steak....tyvm for that jill...not..lol

8:46 pm

clue for the et 6/21 please?

8:47 pm

i'm actually looking for that myself at the moment pen

8:47 pm

hope you have better luck than i have had...

8:47 pm

et+mineral and vit***** supplements

8:48 pm

ty jill

8:48 pm

now strugglling with the in's

8:48 pm

the mineral is after the et??

8:49 pm

pen it's the vi word after the et as in healthy tablets

8:49 pm

that is the clue to finish the second word and give you the ending to the et

8:50 pm

ah....thanks....got it....

8:51 pm

jill was also giving us the vi8/60 clue i think

8:52 pm

ty jill for that even though i have the vi7/8 words

8:52 pm

Had forgotten about that...dangerously close to PB...

8:53 pm

no, you were alright and plus there is still cake from my party last night :)

8:53 pm

and it's low fat chocolate cake..lol

8:54 pm

what about the first di 5/14?

8:55 pm

Good, this has been a particularily rough day even after getting home. The American health care system...grrrr. Just because my husbands previously generic medication is now only made by one company; that makes it nongeneric in the eyes of insurance and we have to pay for it. Wish I wasn't so old and no other country would allow me to immigrate...

8:55 pm

pl the 4 penquis

8:56 pm

whoops....wrong di 5....think of a little song a cute little "di***

8:56 pm

or di+end of life

8:56 pm

di5 is di and when someone goes to heaven

8:56 pm

and pl

8:57 pm

ty....

8:57 pm

and now with my lousy clueing I am going to go into a fe5/16 position, suck my thumb and babble....

8:57 pm

that sucks jill.the insurance companies always get without paying somehow

8:59 pm

jill, no-one sucks at clueing.we all think differently and i'm happy to get any clue whether i understand it or not.so get up from the fe position and play along with us and ask for clues if needed

8:59 pm

We so need a single payer system. The solution to no longer being able to make $$ once a med goes generic, the pharmacuetical companies just quit making them...

8:59 pm

<---verging close to a pity party....LOL...will snap out of it now!

9:00 pm

anyone have the second di 5/12?

9:00 pm

so many people complain about the nhs here but we are alot luckier than alot of countries and the charges might be high for our prescriptions but it stops people from wasting tablets

9:00 pm

di5-14 the 1st.....I need help please. Thanks

9:01 pm

di5/12=chemical compound

hi jilly

9:01 pm

di + kick the bucket....for you, ga...

9:01 pm

was just clued GA...

9:01 pm

hello to!

9:02 pm

jill, can you not get them from a pharmacy with a prescription from your doctor?

9:02 pm

wb TO :)

9:02 pm

working on it....

9:02 pm

Yes, but previously all generics are paid by my insurance...now no longer a generic

9:03 pm

got it....thanks...

9:03 pm

peach di and then we go to heaven

9:03 pm

penquis....di+sc*** of the crime

9:03 pm

got it...thanks.

9:03 pm

oh ok and are your prescriptions expensive

9:04 pm

or di and we pass away

9:04 pm

hubby's are, he is also on another Alzheimers med that is not generic and runs us over $400 a month

9:05 pm

I have received advice to divorce him (obviously a sham divorce) and then he could go on his own for insurance

9:07 pm

omg, that is alot jilly and you can't get help for that now then as your insurance won't pay it

sorry to hear this, jili. tough one. i had a friend who also considered divorce so she could get medicaid for her large medical needs

amd now to bed. happy bannling to all

9:08 pm

Yup...and I pay over $800/month for the insurance coverage I do have...like I said, the US health care system is so screwed up.

9:08 pm

we moan as we have to pay £7.65 for any prescription

9:08 pm

clue for the ev7/44 please

9:08 pm

I know TO, this system is just crap...and I know we are one of many...

9:08 pm

that is terrible that anyone has to consider divorce for their tablets

9:09 pm

goodnight TO. sweet dreams and tc hin :)

9:09 pm

wht..."we hold these truths to be self ev*****

9:09 pm

Niters TO!

9:09 pm

wht, it actually pretty self-ev7

9:09 pm

wht, it goes of the ev7 as in

9:10 pm

then add 3 letter ending for the 10

9:10 pm

ty m9.

9:10 pm

what is needed in a court of law

9:12 pm

can someone clue the en 5/10 please?

9:12 pm

en+term for little stroke

9:14 pm

9:14 pm

9:17 pm

i got rid of the fours early on.....;o)

9:18 pm

anyone have the di 6/39?

9:18 pm

i've got rid of all the high ones and it's normally the blooming 4's or 5's that i get fish slapped with :)

9:18 pm

everyone has his or her own way of doing it...

9:18 pm

It's OK lillian, I totally missed the middle la4

9:19 pm

if you have the di7 thenminus the vowel pen

he is not covered uder your policy?

9:19 pm

of not carbon di7,

9:19 pm

ty...didn't try that....

9:20 pm

Yes he is TO, just that for the last two + years, his med was made by three pharmacuetical companies, now just one and that then returns drug to nongeneric catagory

9:21 pm

but why is that jill when 3 have made it before?

9:22 pm

yw pen

9:22 pm

Just some stupid bureaucratic rule...

9:22 pm

well, it definitely needs changing

and your hr says?

and obamacare will affect? go to your legislator or insurance commisoner

9:23 pm

but the bureaucrats will be ok as normal

9:23 pm

Oh you bet we will....

9:23 pm

and lilliann, so will all the pharmacuetical companies

9:24 pm

aye, that's true jill, sadly

9:25 pm

the fours are definitely fish slaps :D

9:26 pm

hi all- help with in 7/32 please

9:26 pm

Good night all, sleep well

9:30 pm

Hi Peach

Hi there, Liz.

10:41 pm

Good Evening Everyone. How are you all tonight?

10:42 pm

Excited - saw our first whale breaches of the season, today - even though they were way off on the horizon.

10:42 pm

I'm just muddling along here.....hateful grid.

10:42 pm

Did you, Liz.....how wonderful.

10:42 pm

Any clues for in 6 / 18?

10:43 pm

that's really neat, Liz!

10:43 pm

I would love to see that.

10:43 pm

Weather permitting we'll go out whale watching next week.

10:43 pm

We have a season ticket and go most weeks.

10:43 pm

Liz, fork prong.

Okay, RoundBarn. WIll do!

10:45 pm

Weird grid - 4 words left and 3 are 7 letters :(

10:47 pm

10:47 pm

10:47 pm

ty, I will. Just found se 7 / 48

10:48 pm

evening all

10:48 pm

so 7 please

10:48 pm

Nef- how's DH? dizzy spells go away?

10:48 pm

Hi jes!

10:49 pm

nm - found it

phantom: italic

10:51 pm

jes; he either seems to be doing better or I've been too tired to notice (we've had the grandson for the past 5 days.)

10:52 pm

hah. Well, here's hoping the answer is better :)

10:52 pm

Fireworks :)

10:52 pm

Hope he's doing better Nef - grandson might've helped!

10:52 pm

I just asked him, jes. He's still having slight dizziness when he first wakes in the AM

10:53 pm

Congrats, Liz!!!!!!

10:54 pm

yay liz!

10:54 pm

that's better than throughout the day though. Glad he's improved :)

10:54 pm

Dogs need to go out....bbl.

10:55 pm

actually, when he first sits up in the AM; then it goes away. Tomorrow he'll do BP's before he gets out of bed and then after he sits up and (hopefully) we may know something then. (I'm really thinking he just needs more fluid intake)

10:56 pm

don't we all? I certainly don't drink as much as I'm supposed to....

10:57 pm

Hi all...can I have a clue for the 2nd de7/32 please?

10:59 pm

i have only one - plural, "the devil is in the de*****"

11:00 pm

I think I have that one...think that's the 3rd de7/32.

11:04 pm

how about de7/32 members of a pantheon?

11:05 pm

I think that's the first one jes.

11:06 pm

well crap. i'm shooting to either side :)

11:06 pm

lol...no worries. ummm...I had to google pantheon. ;-)

11:06 pm

I've got a de7/36 between those two...

11:07 pm

I have one relating to teeth.

11:07 pm

The second de7/32 is right after the gods ..

11:07 pm

thanks, hokie :)

11:07 pm

no...it comes just after the pantheon one...and before the de6/21 that is part of your 7/36. if that makes sense.

11:08 pm

right...what tor said. lol

11:08 pm

torg's the one to ask then :)

11:08 pm

not sure I have a gods one or pantheon (are they the same?)

11:09 pm

the same, hokie

11:09 pm

I think so hokie.

11:09 pm

I have one that is the plural of "it ain't just a river in Egypt"

11:09 pm

But I don't have it either ..

11:10 pm

oops...I guess there are 4 de7/32's then...I have that one also.

11:10 pm

omgosh...there are a lot of de7/32 now that I'm looking further down my list. lol

11:11 pm

There are 7 x de7/32 ..

11:11 pm

thanks tor.

11:12 pm

well, I have 3. ;-)

11:13 pm

just checked lickety's...it's definitely the 2nd one I'm missing.

11:14 pm

how many times do I have to try "droid" before it becomes a real word?

11:14 pm

lol!

11:16 pm

at least once more, hokie :)

11:16 pm

I have all the de's but that one ..

11:17 pm

I'm missing the de7/32 and the last de5/22

11:18 pm

hmm, I don't seem to have any de5. My goal for tonight is just to get halfway. 7 words away!

11:18 pm

De5's Midnight Runners

11:18 pm

devein should be a word...you do it to shrimp after you peel them!

11:19 pm

agreed

11:19 pm

thank you tor!

11:20 pm

oops...devein wouldn't work...e and i in the wrong order!

11:21 pm

11:24 pm

Or Dame Cleo *****, Lady Dankworth ..

11:26 pm

11:28 pm

ahhh...just saw the clue and the fact it isn't valli. lol Thanks Tor!

11:28 pm

11:29 pm
