Oh, and the cutest thing happened today. Our post-lady walked by and waved as I was playing. I got up to say hi and tell her it was a new piano. She had seen the truck, and heard me through the windows.

12:33 am

nice

12:33 am

nice, melon!

12:34 am

I'm heading to bed

So, yes the photo is of my new arrivals, the piano and the perfume.

12:34 am

night all

nite-nite, ruru.

12:35 am

it's been a looooooooong day

12:36 am

love Chanel, melon. Hardly ever wear perfume now -- so many others allergic, it seems.

12:36 am

do they coco cough jilli ?

12:37 am

gnight ruru -- I'll be off soon too -- just want to find a 7 and an 8 for nbs, and the lone E in the 4th column for nbt

It is so refined. I wear every day, and always to bed. I have quite a collection, and my second favorite website is basenotes. net where we chat fragrance all the time.

12:37 am

oh dear, ruru -- never too pooped to pun.

LOL

12:38 am

Melon, do you like Nina Ricci?

12:38 am

er5 jilli

jilli, try for the re6/7/8 it's a word you know.

I don't particulalry like l'Air du Temps, which is the only one I know. I'm a huge fan of Caron, wearing vintage Infini as we speak.

12:39 am

Courreges fan here...

12:39 am

I like Shiseido Zen

Is Courreges still around, that's a name I remember from way back.

12:40 am

I think it is

I also have a lot of vintage Weil prefumes: Antilope, Zibeline, Weil de Weil.

12:40 am

I hat re words, melon 1

Zen is lovely.

12:40 am

*hate (so tired)

You need to be more op__-minded, jilli...

12:42 am

haha the skimpy mens bathing suit works

12:42 am

ty melon -- just need a 7 now, and that E

12:42 am

hah. thanks ursh.

12:43 am

I wonder if ruru got that sp6, lol!

That's a word, and neato isn't? harrumph.

jilli, there's a 7 to go with that 8!

haha, jilli, now I'll have to wipe that image from my memory.

12:44 am

so there is, melon (brain dead here) -- nbs :-)

taDah to jilli!

12:45 am

and got that E too for nbs :-)

I wonder what the oe word is (I'd accept a clever clue)

12:45 am

wtg jilli

12:45 am

I mean nbt, duh.

12:46 am

greek tragedy description

ah, I had tried that, but wrong ending, got it this time. TX, ARB.

12:47 am

yw

12:48 am

the ending escapes me. I want an L.

12:48 am

It relates to the Greek king who was blinded, and has provided a major help in naming a psychological complex

what you want is a two-letter article

12:49 am

ends in "ean"

12:49 am

ty melon -- I had tried that but it needed another vowel.

I'm off to bed. Got the 8s buy only 10 of the 7s. Nitey-nite, all. [poof]

right! I had left out the "energy"

[re-poof]

12:56 am

nd I'm heading for bed -- goodnight all...*poof

1:31 am

2:37 am

I can see we are going to have to tease this out of you, how did you earn your sore mussles, take on a new lover?

2:38 am

I know I like it when my girlfriend can do that and we just lose track of timed oing nothing but talking and drinking coffee

2:38 am

*** JOSO**** down boy.

2:39 am

sounds like a grand weekend gran, a nice change of pace

2:39 am

remember me going to clean out drawers--well as I got into doing that I ended up taking down the bed and moving everything out of the bedroom and cleaning it good-lol

2:40 am

and I did get the drawers=lal

2:40 am

oh, dear, pugs. but i bet you feel really proud of yourself, though

2:40 am

wow, all i did was buy soap and load the dishwasher

2:40 am

well its clean!

2:40 am

and swim, and break a lamp.....

2:40 am

you are much more virtuous than I

2:41 am

pugs...and how are the drawers, dear? do they fit better?

2:41 am

I dont know about that Joso--getting started is my biggest problem

2:41 am

oh yea, change a bulb

2:41 am

Afternoon all :)

2:42 am

hey up liz

2:42 am

Hey Liz!

2:42 am

2:43 am

*grin*

2:44 am

Hows things with you Liz

2:45 am

Good thanks. Another beautiful day here.

2:46 am

I have a solution to your dusting problem pug. If you don't rush it, after a year or so, it forms into kind of a felt pad, much easier to remove then.

2:46 am

Lol

2:48 am

after a year my lungs would need pumped out too--we get alot of dust here. I think alot is due to farmers out in fields

2:49 am

well if you are going to be picky

2:54 am

what do ya know peepee isnt a word-lol

2:55 am

ok. who let the bathing suit in the grid??

2:56 am

don't know about peepeeing in the grid -- usually in the swimming pool.

2:57 am

is that your dog, pug?

2:58 am

well, there goes my break, back to work, g'bye

2:58 am

no but she looks just like that--I dont have a camera to put up pictures yet. And hello

2:58 am

sorry didn't know I'd have to leave so soon. cute, pug

2:58 am

bye jwr

3:41 am

hey pug, are you still about

3:43 am

i'm here, joso. will i do? was away watching a program on heritage houses in wales.

3:44 am

yep--sorry was writing down clues

3:45 am

Well Mr Joso --where are you?

3:47 am

ah, hi all

3:48 am

Howdy

3:48 am

brb, potty break

3:49 am

I need to refill coffee brb

3:50 am

it's dumb but I've been meaning to mention this and keep forgetting. your icon is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm not fond of the look of pugs in general but that shot is marvoulous. Tha tlittle face says so much

4:01 am

thanks Joso--this is my first small dog and I wish I had gotten one sooner. I was always a boxer and pitbull and american bulldog person

4:02 am

got my coffee now I need a BIG gooey warm sweetroll with pecans-lol

4:03 am

sounds wonderful

4:04 am

do you have a pet Joso

4:05 am

GOOD MORNING AND PEEPEE IS DEFINITELY A WORD/1

4:05 am

whoops, was emphatic but didn't need to shout

4:05 am

{{little pug}}

4:05 am

HI Mrs Ruby! how are you

4:05 am

hello joso, pugs and I are definitely "dog peope"

4:06 am

had a bovie, died a couple of weeks ago

4:06 am

I sure am I dont think I could live with out one or two or three-lol

4:06 am

{{joso]} but what's a bovie

4:06 am

dont know what bovie is-sorry

4:07 am

it is perfect weather here an I just picked a couple of lbs of tomatoes, ripe on the vine

4:07 am

we always have two dogs because chows are so fragile

4:07 am

big harry black dog, french hearding dog

4:08 am

the weather is making you perky then-lal and I got 2 window sills with tomatoes on them too

4:08 am

bouvier?

4:09 am

Oh Ive seen them on tv on the dog shows--sorry for your loss Joso. Are you planning on getting another

4:10 am

I couldn't live here without dogs and the loss of each of them is another heartbreak.

4:10 am

all my dogs I got now are all rescue dogs

4:11 am

I know Ruby! thats the worse part of it -isnt it

4:12 am

bouvie yes, was trying to find a picture of him

4:12 am

but even though you ever forget the dead ones, the new ones help to fill the hole in your heart

4:12 am

never*

4:13 am

been debating weather to get another dog or not

4:14 am

I always try to get another one right away, while I am still we**ing for the lost one

4:14 am

yes they do--I still at times have a memory of one gone once in a while. But there are so many that needs loving homes

4:15 am

If I had the means I would take in more. I cant go to the pound and look into those sad eyes-it just tears me up inside

4:16 am

I think aboutmy Ruby every day, but Rufie has certainly "stepped up" and become a cuddler, happily for me

4:17 am

I coudn't go to a pound as I would Wind up with 10 dogs!

4:18 am

same with me Ruby--------is that where you got your game name from

4:18 am

yes, it's one of my nicknames. But you andI have the same first name, pug

4:19 am

oh thats nice

4:20 am

I had a brindle pit named Anchor and I got his ashes to be burried with me. I raised him from a wee thing due to his mother couldnt nurse her litter(he was gave to me by a friend)

4:21 am

alll of our chows (ecvept Rosie,the first one who died in Miami) are buried in the garden

4:22 am

we just had a bond that I still feel even though its been several years since his passing

4:23 am

I feel that way about Ruby, more than any of the others. Sometimes I would fall asleep while petting her at night with my head on her flank

4:23 am

I got a little grave site at our campgrounds near the river for our beloved pets. My hubby fixed a angle on a cement stand to over look them

4:25 am

uh oh, Raffie is howling,must go

4:25 am

*woof*

4:26 am

ruby how did you come to owning chow chow

4:26 am

bye ruby have a wonderful day

4:27 am

false alarm

4:27 am

It sounded like "they" were coming over the wall! lol

4:28 am

glad everything is okay

4:28 am

One day, while husband and I were "going together" dogs came up in the conversation and each of us said "Oh, chows are my favorites." So, AFTER i GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL FROM MY c SURGERY, THERE WAS rOSIE, WAITING FOR ME

4:29 am

whoops, bad pinkie strikes again!

4:29 am

ahh that was nice--a gift from your hubby

4:29 am

yes, and she took care of me when I was recovering

4:30 am

was that your first dog

4:30 am

yes, and I was 47!

4:30 am

One thing that worries me is leaving behind my dogs when its my time to go

4:31 am

I think about that, too, but if my son wants to inherit the house,he'll also have to inherit whatever dogs come with it

4:31 am

wow--I have had dogs(plus other animals) from childhood, My dad was a dog lover too

4:31 am

but you are still Young, pugs

4:32 am

I dont have any children to depend on for things like that

4:33 am

I'm not sure I can depend on John, either

4:33 am

guess I will just have to leave it in Gods hands when that happens

4:34 am

do you have grandkids too Ruby

4:34 am

no, his wife doesn't want children

4:34 am

and it's too late now

4:35 am

and they dont like dogs either

4:35 am

does that sadden you

4:35 am

do you have sisters or brothers with kids

4:36 am

of course, but since there's nothing I can do, I don't let it get me down

4:36 am

neaped

4:36 am

neaped

4:36 am

No theres not anything you can do--

4:37 am

4:38 am

4:38 am

no, just didn't feel like telling shadow stories

4:38 am

was that your dog's name?

4:39 am

ah, shadow, yes

4:39 am

My nephew's beloved dog was named Shadow

4:39 am

*woof*

4:39 am

followed me everywhere, used to trip over him if i turned too fast

4:40 am

down to 93, think I will take a break and come back later today===Hope we didnt put you in a down mood Joso

4:41 am

no, you where enjoying dog tales, so I went to the grid, finnished the p's

4:41 am

I feel for you. Getting another will help out alot. Just like Ruby said

4:42 am

are you going to the pool again today

4:42 am

yea, as i said having a little debate about that in my little pea brain

4:43 am

Going to try to keep up the pool, been 3 times so far

4:44 am

it's kind of kickstarted me up and out of the doldrums

4:45 am

I have a elderly man I take care of and I have to take him to the eye doctor this morning so I need to get off of here and do some things before leaving. So have a good day and will catch ya when ever --bye bye Joso and you too Rose if you pop in

7:21 am

Good morning!

Hi Car

7:21 am

hello car

7:21 am

Mrning, car.

7:21 am

Hello Scrabs! Hello WV!

7:22 am

Hello BzznBea!

7:22 am

When do your boys return to school, Car?

7:22 am

Sept. 4

7:25 am

Are they looking forward to a new school year?

7:25 am

Oh no...they don't want to go back.

7:25 am

opur kids have been back since Aug. 15th

7:25 am

Yuck, homework, mom!

7:26 am

Yeah, we go back late and then run late in June. :(

7:26 am

Local kids start Sept 4th, and private schools on the 9th

7:26 am

I don't think it is the homework as much as getting up early.

7:26 am

Funny you should say "late" Car. It used to be all the kids went back the day after Labor Day.

7:27 am

I know, but not any more!

7:27 am

Good morning, Molly!

7:28 am

Time for me to bzz...pfft!

7:28 am

I still get whiplash when I see back to school stuff in the stores in July.

7:28 am

Bye! Have a good day!

7:28 am

we've been in school since August 8 -- but, we're balanced calendar

7:28 am

And the Halloween stuff is out now too!

7:28 am

Hi Jen!

7:28 am

hero

7:28 am

oops

7:29 am

hello, PB, old friend

7:30 am

Easy word for Babblers. Give us an 8, please.

7:30 am

How long is summer vacation for kids, Jen?

7:30 am

LOL

7:31 am

we get two months, and then it's nine weeks on and two weeks off. As a teacher, I love it!

7:31 am

Nice

7:31 am

Cool. How do the kids like it?

7:33 am

it's actually good for them, in my opinion. They come back from every 2-week break pretty refreshed (as do I). And, there's an "intersession" option, where some of our kids who need extra help can come and get it during the first week of the 2-week break

7:33 am

Nice!

7:35 am

This is our second year trying out this new calendar -- I hope they keep it!

7:38 am

Stats please for the second O word from that bottom right corner ? I have the smelly word OD 4/5.

7:39 am

I have also searched for that second O, Car

7:39 am

Another od4

7:39 am

The second corner o is oe8

7:40 am

I got it!!!!!!

7:40 am

TY movieman and good morning!

7:40 am

Sorry, my clue was wrong

7:57 am

I hear you have a he** of fires over there - hope you are all well away

7:59 am

hiya, Lynxxx

7:59 am

hi Dawg

8:00 am

mostly getting smoke from surrounding fires here. JillyJill is in the midst of it.

8:02 am

I'll keep my fingers crossed for rain for you all

8:03 am

rain, no lightning! that's what has started most of these fires. although a few are under investigation for being man caused

8:04 am

sounds exactly how it happens here too

8:06 am

it's been a weird summer here. we got a lot of rain in the late winter, "spring" and early summer and then we got HOT really fast and for quite a stretch. now it's fire season and we shouldn't be surprised that all that grass is prime fuel. not to mention the dead trees from beetle blight.

8:07 am

'scuse me Stew is dancing all over the lounge

8:09 am

Good morning, global intellectuals!

Receiving your signal, meows.

8:41 am

name that proper noun! a mountain chain running through Italy

8:43 am

Apennine

8:43 am

ding ding ding!

8:44 am

I only know that because I did a diorama of Italy in 7th grade. My geography knowledge is limited.

8:44 am

well, good job 7th grade

8:44 am

Didn't know that! Overshadowed by the Alps, no doubt.

8:48 am

*remembers dioramas in school*

8:49 am

I made a jungle diorama once. Used green twist ties for vines.

8:50 am

nice

8:51 am

Our Judi, ever the creative one. : )

8:55 am

Down to 30. Time for a java break. *POOF*

8:59 am

PEAPOD was NOT FOUND in the DICTIONARY???

8:59 am

Julia Child is going to be upset Pepin isn't allowed

9:00 am

hi all *pops a pea pod in mouth*

9:01 am

oh sure, put a space in it and validate enable's rejection of my word.

9:01 am

hehehe

9:02 am

a rare word i can spell

9:03 am

alas must pay attention to telephone conference

9:03 am

bbl

9:03 am

Ah, Jacques Pepin and his daughter Clow-dine. Oui Papa.

9:04 am

he had a daughter?

9:04 am

I love the way Pepin says olive. Ah-leeve.

9:05 am

i've learned a lot of good cooking tricks from ole Jacques

9:05 am

First of all, Jacques is still with us. And yes, he has a daughter. And a granddaughter too, I think.

9:06 am

i don't see why julia child would mind pepin not counting if it is someone's name. proper nouns aren't supposed to count.

9:06 am

I didn't say he died?

9:06 am

but you said "he had..."

9:07 am

yes..

9:07 am

past tense can make it sound like you think the person is dead

9:09 am

even though if you say, "mary had her baby yesterday" clearly nobody thinks you think mary died.

9:09 am

having a baby is a grey area linguistically

9:10 am

except for Paul Anka

9:10 am

hence the confusion

9:10 am

paul anka the dog or paul anka the person?

9:10 am

the singer

9:10 am

Paul Anka the dog??

there's a dog called Paul Anka?

9:11 am

on gilmore girls :) lorelai got a dog in the later seasons and named him paul anka

Ha! Cute

9:11 am

Ugh, Having My Baby reminds me of driver's ed.

9:12 am

she even had this funny dream where paul anka the person was in it (he guest appeared) and the universe exploded in a flash of light from the meeting of the two paul ankas

9:12 am

:D what?

9:13 am

how does it remind you of Driver's Ed?

9:13 am

Because it was all over the radio then and the instructor would not let us change the station.

9:14 am

too dangerous to change the station while learning to drive?

9:14 am

No, he actually liked the song.

ohmy!

9:14 am

ah... there, we canna help you

9:14 am

That song is probably the reason I don't have kids :d

naps

Gloated?

9:19 am

i was at the pharmacy and there was this man there with a little boy who was crying. and as i was leaving i passed them and i said, "ear infection?" and he said, "yes, how did you know?" and i was like, "i dunno, i just... little kid, the way he was crying...". boo-ya, just call me dr. housette

9:20 am

(move over Dr. Oz)

9:20 am

At least you didn't ask if it was otis media.

9:21 am

*otitis

9:21 am

Otis Media?

9:21 am

lol, yeah, well, when you've had no medical training, you don't tend to think in medical terms, even if you do know them.

9:21 am

Otitis media the medical term for ear infection

9:22 am

Sounds like a grunge band

9:22 am

sitting by the dock of the bay.. watching the ear wax float away.. i'm just sittin' ...

9:22 am

i was thinking though, dr house would probably say, "any idiot can diagnose an ear infection" and i just kinda proved him right

9:23 am

Otitis Media sounds like a Fox news infection

9:25 am

name that proper noun .. bald irish pop singer

9:25 am

doo doo do da doo de doo.. dooo. de dah..de dooo

9:33 am

I finally saw "The Hours" recently. I have to give Kidman that one. But Ed Harris acted rings around her.

9:34 am

me too she was really good in the hours.. but so was everyone else.. Harris should have had the oscar for that one

9:34 am

Streep was incredible in that movie

9:34 am

<---Has a big crush on Ed Harris. Amy Madigan is one lucky woman.

9:34 am

9:35 am

I've seen the hours about a dozen times

9:36 am

Harris was great in Pollock too

9:36 am

9:40 am

9:49 am

moi will be back in a mo too

9:50 am

The only thing that makes my coffee when I am stirring is the auto set on the coffee maker. : D

making the stumbling around before anybody else wakes up coffee is one of the forgotten burdens that we men undertake in relationships

9:52 am

Really? I have yet to meet anyone from your tribe.

9:53 am

i'm always up before my husband but it's a moot point because coffee isn't allowed in my house.

9:54 am

*passes out*

you haven't met our tribe because every time we get up to go out foraging and hunting and gathering, a hand clasps our wrist and a voice "you're making coffee, right"

9:55 am

LOL josh

9:56 am

pi7?

the bit that you push to make a pin go in

9:57 am

ah thanks

9:57 am

or what I call every driver in the fast lane :D

i don't mind the ones in the fast lane - it's the ones that weave superfast in and out of every lane, without using blinkers usually, that i really dislike

9:58 am

Me too Hursh

9:59 am

And the ones who decide at the last minute that they are in the far left lane and they ne4 to be in the far right lane.

10:00 am

10:00 am

10:01 am

And yes, the idiot was on his cell phone.

10:01 am

I see Ipad isn't a word yet

10:02 am

Is that illegal in Maryland now cell phones while driving>?

10:02 am

Yes, but it doesn't stop most people.

10:04 am

death cannot stop true love. all it can do is delay it for awhile.

10:05 am

10:05 am

Hi sprite. Haven't seen you in a while.

I usually play earlier on my day nowadays. It is nice to see you!

2:17 pm

It is just lunch time. Cybernan and I are in the same time zone.

2:18 pm

for me it is evening, it is about a quarter past 9 here. Had a busy day, and now relaxing with babble.

2:19 pm

Today is quiet for me. My dog, Murphy (the icon picture) had poked his eye while on a walk this morning so I took him to the vet. Nothing majorly wrong that money and eye drops won't fix. He is back home sleeping.

2:20 pm

ah I am glad he will be ok. Quite a scare.

2:21 pm

When his eye wouldn't open and his other eye was squinting in sympathy, I knew something was not right (I'm quick that way.)

2:22 pm

lol, true

2:23 pm

fireflies here. I am off to do some other computer stuff and then shower and bed. Have a lovely remainder of your days and a peaceful evening, all.

phantom: pinniped

2:59 pm

I liked the picture of the panda cub holding his front paws in the air. : )

yes he is just the cutest thing.

i read your profile with interest, molly. i would say there are at least three doubles currently on the site.

3:03 pm

It's getting pretty obvious, isn't it?

to us, at least. but whatever. there is no law.

3:04 pm

No, there is no law. But I hate seeing nice people get fooled.

if anyone is soubled because they feel harassed, that is sad. those who are doubled TO harass are another matter.

but i have my own sheep to tend today. like 46 more words.

3:09 pm

eh. means they paid twice, which keeps babble up and running, right?

oh my, i am freezing! bbs

4:06 pm

More, Molly.... Tell me more...,.

4:08 pm

It has a pool, with a bar in the middle, so you can float up in your floating recliner and get served a drink by a strapping young male bartender.

4:11 pm

I stayed in a hotel in Mombassa once, with one of those swim-up bars. It was heavenly.

5:17 pm

and there i thought it was a very ugly men's bathing suit. . . although when i raced in swimming my suit was also a sp6

5:18 pm

Yes, but the women's version of that suit is not nearly as unflattering.

5:19 pm

no it was fairly flattering actually since i was fairly flat chested at the time. . . .

5:20 pm

i was flatter all over then. . . .

Hi Minveryork! I hardly ever see you here any more.

10:06 pm

hah! My IPad - 16 months old with no warranty died.. had to be replaced with a refurbished one with only a 90 day warranty for $250. My 3 /12 y old refrigerator died... had to pay a repairman $116 to find out that I need a very expensive repair (no warranty of course) and should replace the frigerator. Cell phone died..... Been dogsitting a 13 year old dog who misses his home and family and is using my entire house as his potty... shall i go on?

10:07 pm

Oh my goodness! What a list of grief! I am sorry

10:08 pm

split between what and what?

10:32 pm

interesting! Good for you.

10:32 pm

split in the same school I hope?

10:33 pm

the job I am interviewing for is part language arts and part reading specialist. Should be an interesting interview, at least

10:34 pm

well at least those two subjects are related...

10:34 pm

what grade level?

10:35 pm

middle school for me (of course!)

10:35 pm

of course! just don't always see reading specialist at that level

10:35 pm

No, I have travel between 2 different schools. Principals decide how they will split me. May be three days in one school & 2 days in another school or 2 1/2 days at each school or half a day in each school every day,confusing!

10:36 pm

:-) no, far less often than is needed, I suspect.

10:36 pm

When is your interview stidmama! Wishing you all the luck!

10:37 pm

i always liked working in more than one school....easier to avoid the school politics....and i enjoyed getting up and leaving to go somewhere else...

10:37 pm

Tuesday, Min. Have to create a minilesson (I think I will recycle one I have actually used).

10:38 pm

There are both advantages & disadvantages to being in a split position. The advantage is I get 30min for travel, a 30 minute prep and an hour lunch. The disadvantage is that is 2 whole hours of the day of non-teaching time

10:38 pm

good luck with your interview, stid...

10:39 pm

I was split between two schools a few years ago, min. I alternated days... M,W at one school. T, Th at the other and then alternated fridays. A bit complicated, bt it worked

10:39 pm

Thanks penquis.

10:40 pm

i don't miss my 20 min lunches... ;o)

10:41 pm

Depending on the day, it might be nice to have a little bit of transition time? :-D

10:42 pm

sometimes my best thinking was in the car between schools...

10:43 pm

The schools are only 11 min apart, not much time to think.

10:43 pm

well there is that one hour lunch and that 30 min prep period... ;o)

10:44 pm

That's true!

10:47 pm
