Good morning, sprite.

3:10 am

hiya peach :) Nice big grid today.

3:13 am

Yeah! It is quite nice.....so far.

3:13 am

the venom is in the tail, probably, as they say here in the netherlands.

3:16 am

Have'nt heard that before....interesting.

3:17 am

I just wondered what ruru would come back with.

3:17 am

brb

3:17 am

*giggles* Something great, no doubt.

3:28 am

I'm back. Just needed to check on the rain.....not that I could do anything about it...LOL

3:28 am

lol... yeah, but sometimes we need to know :)

3:52 am

a painless 2/3 :)

3:54 am

I was trying to hang on until I got the oe7...it isn't in my dictionary and I'm just about to go to sleep...it's almost 5:00AM here.

3:54 am

nice even 30 to go....HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all my american friends

3:54 am

Great, sprite. You will finish in no time.

3:54 am

wow, that is almost getting-up-time here... sounds like you should go to bed!

3:55 am

hiya ro4 :) You are in the grid. Happy Independence Day to those celebrating too.

3:55 am

Hey there, rose. Where have you been? I'm just heading to bed. Think you will like the grid.

3:56 am

ah, I think I found the oe. Related to the female replication organs.

3:56 am

Yes, peach, GO TO BED!! I'm having a bit of insomnia right now so thought I'd try this great grid. Only here for a bit because I'm working later today.

3:56 am

oe7, another name for the female hormone...oe + ***eet, road + not out

3:56 am

((rose)) hello, dear!

3:56 am

hello beloved sprite

3:57 am

and mimi...my lucky night

3:57 am

lol yeah... true. And the same word, but ending in nerv*** breakdown.

3:57 am

hi mimicat

3:57 am

Nite, my peeps.

3:57 am

night night, peach, sleep well

3:57 am

Hi, sprite. Finally got a job doing transcription at home.

3:57 am

sleep well, peach, see you tomorrow?

3:58 am

Night, peach....pleasant dreams.

3:58 am

nice, mimicat. Gratz.

3:58 am

oh, mimi, what great news...

3:59 am

It has been a long, difficult time, rose...I can finally see my way clear. That which does not kill us makes us stronger, right? Now I keep saying the prayer "Please, God, don't make me any stronger!"

4:00 am

LOL, mimi...my heart goes out to you...so know where you are coming from.

4:02 am

Though I've certainly had a tough time, it's nothing compared to some of our Babble friends who've had much more to deal with...I feel blessed to have had the support of my friends and family in such a trying time. In most situations there is still something to be grateful for, right?

4:02 am

have another 2 weeks to go, wearing this blessed splint. and the painful area on the medial aspect of my knee is no better. * sigh* if my surgeon says more surgery, you will find me in the rubber room.

4:03 am

my son came home safely last night, after 3 days with school in Geneva at CERN, and my girl will come home today after 5 days survival trekking through the Ardennes in Belgium.

4:03 am

awww, mimi, you are so right. i really must count my blessings, as you say.

4:03 am

argh ro4... I will keep my fingers crossed. It is a frustrating road you are travelling.

4:04 am

But it's still OK to complain a bit...we have that right, too! Will hold good thoughts for you, rose, and you are included in my prayers.

4:04 am

good heavens sprite...i hope you had some lovely down time while they were away.

4:05 am

So you and hubby had some alone time, sprite....was it good or were you too worried about the kids?

4:05 am

we did, grin. Just the two of us... quite enjoyable. But happy to have them back too.

4:05 am

LOLOL, snap mimi

4:06 am

nah, didn't worry. We raised them well, they can take care of themselves and they were out with school, so it couldn't be much safer.

4:06 am

I'm going to try to get a bit more sleep. Bye for now and hugs all around.

4:06 am

so glad, sprite. we do so need to have time out with our special people in our life. doesn't mean you love your kids any less..

4:07 am

no, indeed. I even think it is an important thing to sh4 our kids, that people need to spend time together and invest in their relation.

4:07 am

bye mimicat

4:07 am

night, mimi, dear. hope you rest/sleep well my dear

4:10 am

it was a blast seeing them prepare for their trips, ro4. Caya started about a month ago, making li5, telling us what to buy and when to bring her etc. Tim started one day before and had to run upstairs to put his last things in his bag during the evening meal just before leaving, lol. We didn't know if we had to pick him up from Schiphol or not.

4:14 am

lol, sprite...and the battle of the sexes never changes...right?

4:15 am

absolutely true, lol. Tim is 17 yo now, so I didn't feel like I had to tell him to prepare better. And he went, came back and didn't complain, so I guess it went well without my prodding, lol.

4:16 am

that's the way they learn, sprite. males i mean...all 3 of my sons did the same

4:17 am

:) where would they be without us, ro4... I bet they'd manage just fine.

4:19 am

lol, sprite. all of my sons wives have told me how they are amazed at how well their menfolk know how to vacuum and clean a toilet.

4:20 am

yayyyy for education! We are teaching them that as well. Basic survival skills in the jungle of today's world.

4:24 am

*giggle* sprite, i believed that they should know the basic survival skills.

4:25 am

they should, I fully agree. When they go out in the world, they should be able to take care of themselves.

4:25 am

there's a way to teach your son how to clean a toilet? wow, I'd be in a state of bliss if I could do that! hi, ladies!

4:25 am

the last 30 in this grid are a really heavy slog

4:25 am

hiya rbud :) A reward for a job well done is a way.

4:26 am

lol, rbud. hello hun. teach them to brush away the skid marks is a good start.

4:27 am

working on the Rs now... I bet there's a whole lotta re words.

4:28 am

hello again. 5 minutes before i have to leave, but helo again anyway. I'll read back over the chog later

4:28 am

I think I've waited too long now, darnit. he may be untrainable at 22.

4:28 am

hiya ruby :)

4:28 am

33 re words...{{ruby}} xoxoxox

4:28 am

my son was very near to you the last few days, ruby. He was in Geneva, at CERN.

4:29 am

never too late, rbud....

4:29 am

ewwwww, re words, yuck!

4:29 am

argh, that many? Okay, I still need a lot more then.

4:29 am

Hello Everyone--running really late this morning

4:29 am

pugs!!!! cooee hun

4:29 am

hiya puglet :)

4:30 am

How is everyone? What a nice big puzzle

4:31 am

oh, yeah, pugs. it's really delicious

4:31 am

{{little pug}}

4:31 am

am fine, having lots of fun with the puzzle and the chat, and I even found a new word for the dictionary. erotise - woo sexually

4:31 am

Howdy Ruby!

4:31 am

hahah about toilets -- I don't think so; I'm Lucky if my husband puts the seat down on the only one we share (weird house, 2 bedrooms, 5 toilets)

4:32 am

but a lot of room everywhere, ruby. I love your home.

4:32 am

ty sprite and at least we have our own bathrooms; I Drew the line there

4:33 am

ruby, try taping the seat down....worked wonders in my household...*giggle*

4:33 am

I seen on tv they got seats that raises and lowers with the push of a button

4:33 am

that is a luxury that is very uncommon in the netherlands... most homes have only one bathroom.

4:33 am

lolol ro4... but didn't you have to clean the seat before sitting down yourself?

4:34 am

when we bought this house it had 5 bedooms and 3 toilets. The upstairs looked like a rabbit wArren

4:34 am

that might work, puglet. Males love to push buttons.

4:34 am

we only have one, and right now there are five guys and only two girls using it - we're outnumbered!

4:35 am

rofl, sprite....he learned VERY quickly, especially after i handed him the mop....

4:35 am

that is more like our home then, rbud! One bathroom, but we have 2,5 girls and 2 guys using it.

4:35 am

good job, ro4 :D

4:35 am

it's amazing if I can find an uninterrupted ten minutes in ours

4:35 am

who is the .5, terra?

4:35 am

I always felt bad for my dad--there were six of us girls plus my mom--lol

4:36 am

you need 10 minutes??? oy vey!!

4:36 am

no, terra is male and he doesn't use the bathroom except when he is really dirty. No, Tim's girlfriend stays over quite a bit here.

4:36 am

two of the men are only temporary, our daughter's BF's sons, visiting for a few weeks.

4:36 am

argh rbud, only 10 minutes? You need a lock and earplugs.

4:37 am

well, g'rose, some things just hadn't ought to be hurried, you know, haha!

4:37 am

hahahaha

4:37 am

my husband once brought me the telephone while I was taking a shower. Once, you mind. Only once.

4:38 am

that would call for the death penalty sprite!

4:38 am

hahaha well I will admit to being very bitchy for a moment.

4:39 am

you, bitchy, never!

4:39 am

and I'm off

4:39 am

i had the nicest compliment paid to me today. our receptionist said, in front of my immediate superior, ' rose is always doing something. i never see her sitting down, doing nothing' i was so chuffed.

4:39 am

*hugs* and enjoy the tour, ruby!

4:39 am

bye, ruby (((hugs)))

4:39 am

good grief, sprite

4:40 am

bye Ruby

4:40 am

oh wow ro4! So very much deserved, and how lovely that it was in front of your superior!

4:40 am

ruby, sweetie, have a good one

4:40 am

That was a nice comliment Rose

4:40 am

that *is* nice, g'rose, how sweet to hear!

4:43 am

looks like we can be reborn, we can reincarnate, but we can't reso4.

4:48 am

it just showed on the news -someone tied a pitbull to a fence and duct taped his mouth and just left him.He was covered in bites. They think he was used as bait. The poor thing and such a pretty dog too. I hate cruelty to animals.

4:49 am

omg.... oh pug... am so sad to hear that

4:51 am

years ago I worked for an animal shelter and its very heartbreaking work

4:52 am

I don't think I would be able to do that. I'd be in the papers because of killing such a person.

4:53 am

I just dont understand how people can be so cruel like that

4:54 am

they must be lacking what makes us human. I mean that.

4:55 am

I think so too--

4:55 am

same feelings towards them that harm children

4:56 am

I hope we get some sun at some point today.

7:54 am

I hope so too

7:54 am

I do have plenty of indoor cleaning to do but it's a holiday and therefore forbidden by our country's founders.

7:54 am

It is wet and gray here. I doubt we will have fireworks.

7:55 am

The Founding Fathers said "no cleaning" on the 4th

7:55 am

I like how you think, Scrabs

7:55 am

We had some very festive red, white and blue pancakes for breakfast. (Strawberry sauce, blueberries and whipped cream) : )

7:55 am

Go 4th and enjoy!

7:55 am

Annie, it is one of those asterisked items in the Declaration.

7:56 am

I like that, Molly

7:56 am

Yummy!

7:56 am

Alex and Grace are coming for supper. I have to at least freshen up the bathroom :-)

7:56 am

another asterisked item is "no laundry"

7:57 am

There will be none of that.

7:57 am

I can skip laundry.

7:57 am

nice, Mom

7:58 am

We are looking forward to it

7:59 am

Do any of you have plans?

8:00 am

BBQ at my niece's home today..going to NJ

8:00 am

Making ice cream, barbecuing and fireworks.

8:00 am

That sound great, Annie

8:00 am

Just hanging out and doing what the weather permits--gardening and mountain biking would be nice. Sitting on the front porch reading if it rains.

8:01 am

As does your Molly

8:01 am

Sound great Scrabs

8:01 am

Great-nephew has been out of town with his parents and I miss him.

8:01 am

When will he be home?

8:02 am

Molly, sounds nice

8:02 am

The little guy has his first birthday on the 10th. They will be home tomorrow or Saturday, I think. They are visiting grandparents in West Virginia.

8:03 am

Ahhhh, a baby

8:05 am

I had better scoot. I wish you all a great day. ((((Hugs))))

8:05 am

I have been seeing lots of newborns in the office in the last 2 wks and I just love them...to look at them and realize that they were just in utero and here they are, breathing, looking around, feeding...the miracles of pregnancy and birth will never cease to amaze me.

8:05 am

Bye, Mom. Enjoy the day.

9:13 am

(the po5 that means to put forth)

9:14 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day and because it is july 4TH i give you a tidbit on the statue of liberty!!

9:14 am

I have the right po5 but Opie?

9:14 am

Tourists were able to climb up to the precarious perch until 1916, when those privileges were revoked in response to the Black Tom incident. Around 2 a.m. on July 30, Black Tom, once an island in the New York Harbor, was rocked by the explosion of two million tons of war materials such as TNT, black powder, shrapnel and dynamite. The blast was the equivalent of a 5.5-on-the-Richter Scale earthquake; shrapnel flew across the night sky and embedded itself in the Statue of Liberty. Windows shattered as far as 25 miles away.It was later determined that German agents intent on stopping the munitions from getting to their English enemies had ignited the supply. The Statue of Liberty’s torch was closed, partially due to infrastructure damage from the blast and partially just out of concern for terrorism. It’s been closed ever since—but you can still appreciate the view from the top with this TorchCam, installed in 2011.

9:14 am

3:30 pm

3:31 pm

Thanks, Molly. There is one more.

3:31 pm

And to take a break/nap + the last three of not die

3:32 pm

Got it. Thanks. RE are done...

3:32 pm

There are actually 4, I think

3:33 pm

Nope, 5

3:34 pm

not seeing the ve nor the vi 8

3:35 pm

There is no ve8. vi8 is a liquid found in the eye.

3:35 pm

vi8 has to do with glass

3:35 pm

neither def. does it for me

3:36 pm

ah -- descriptive of cured porcelaine

3:36 pm

*porcelain

3:39 pm

visine

3:39 pm

crap.. that's only six

3:40 pm

glazed porcelain fired to a very high temp. is vi 8, ruru

3:41 pm

think china and bathroom fixtures

3:42 pm

vi8...definition...the vi8 The vi8is a thick, transparent substance that fills the center of the eye.

3:43 pm

Sorry for the botched editing

3:43 pm

I think you are thinking of a different word,molly? -- visc***

3:44 pm

gonna have to side with molly on this one nan. "Vi8 humor" is the gel part of the eyeball contents...

3:45 pm

the word you are thinking of can certainly describe the texture of the vi8 though.

3:45 pm

the one you are thinking of Nan is the first one I thought of too. But it tells the density or thickness of any fluid.

3:45 pm

but vi 8 means hard, brittle, like glass

3:46 pm

also means the gel-like substance inside the eye

3:47 pm

a substance which I assume is rather visc**** :)

3:51 pm

yep -- as in floaters on the eyeball (just looked it up)... vi 8 humour whereas the actual gell substance in the eyeball is aqu**** humour. Had never heard of that before -- always associated it with high-fired pottery, as in vi 8 glazes.

3:52 pm

guess one is never too old to learn something new!!

3:52 pm

6:27 pm

bah! /shakesfistatEnamble

6:27 pm

I *hate* that it takes monetary units but not things like afro

6:28 pm

Ive learned more about the obtuse change in other countries here lol

6:29 pm

hah. i am frustrated by the animals it does and doesn't take.

6:29 pm

that too. Its so fickle!

And squits is definitely a word in the UK

6:33 pm

here too lol

Obviosly the same meaning :)

6:36 pm

I wager so. But still. Sooo fickle. According to this I would think they never updated a dictionary

6:37 pm

squit is not a word i've encountered. what's it mean?

6:38 pm

amusingly, I just looked it up and it's in mirriam-webster

6:38 pm

But it's a skittish person

6:38 pm

ah

6:38 pm

'evening, babblers

6:39 pm

howdy, welki

6:39 pm

6:39 pm

afternoon welki

6:40 pm

late afternoon here, too, moon - most are east of us :)

6:40 pm

good day regardless =)

6:40 pm

yes :)

6:40 pm

sounds like someone who might tell the truth, jes

6:42 pm

eek - looked it up, it's someone who practices "the artistic preference of contemporary everyday subject matter instead of the heroic or legendary in art and literature; a form of realism"

6:42 pm

excellent, thanks welki :)

Chat froze for me - UK squits is a bd case of diarrhea

Sorry to lower the tone :D

6:44 pm

oO ok... then not same definition but still something I'd heard and seen before lol

6:45 pm

no apology necessary - i'd bet there are a few of us who were trying to figure out a why to politely say that squits sounds better than what we call it here, sq 7/40!

Yeuch, that is worse

6:48 pm

yep, so any lowering of the tone can now be blamed on me *lol*

lol

6:49 pm

just had a doozy of a storm here - beautiful full rainbow now :)

Lovely welki, you've lifted the tone again

6:51 pm

heh - probably only temporarily. doesn't take much for me to get back into the gutter :)

6:52 pm

It's like a tone see-saw in here.

Some of us are lying in the gutter looking up at the stars (or rainbows)

6:54 pm

good thing about lying in the gutter is that falling isn't an option

6:54 pm

help with so5/18 pls

6:54 pm

Oscar Wilde would be proud

6:54 pm

and some of us are doing a little dance in our gutters for finishing out all the r words /doesalittledance

6:54 pm

reminds me of the richard farina book, 'been down so long it looks like up to me'

:)

6:54 pm

so5 is like ro5 around the edges

6:55 pm

oscar wilde said something about lying in a gutter?

6:55 pm

7:18 pm

<---wears a chastity belt to bed

7:20 pm

DOUBLE HA

7:20 pm

that's how safe I am

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

That would not have been the edge I thought you'd live on. Sounds like it would chafe.

7:20 pm

depends on how much you move around

7:21 pm

you mean chastity's belt?

7:21 pm

7:38 pm

7:40 pm

lol@ cher.here the kids in my sons school play a digital form of russian roulette.they load an i-pod with all their favorite songs(which often sound like my old 8-track eating a tape) but anyways,they load a hundred or 200 or their favorite songs and take turns hitting shuffle they keep going till they hit "the bullet"which is any celiene dion song and that person loses the game

7:41 pm

mp3 roulette? omg! Im so stealing that!

7:41 pm

hehe:))

7:42 pm

you can choose your own "bullet"

7:43 pm

Beastie Boys would be mine....

7:43 pm

well, really... celine is as good as any. But I suppose a new bullet for themed parties could be extra fun ^^

7:43 pm

but having Dion wailing my heart will go on at top volume through a 500 dollar pair of head sets works quite well

7:45 pm

Celine is a Barbara Striesand wanna be

7:46 pm

and she's married to her Grandfather

7:46 pm

and they're both Tom Jones wannabes

7:47 pm
