12:28 am

so sorry about your kitty, melon. we have cats too, and had to put down our oldest in July.

canadian spelling as well, uni

12:28 am

thx for the mistake, diz ;)

nbt nbs

thanks, grannies, how'd I miss that?! nbt, nbs

12:29 am

got the 10, thx for the hint

re 7 x 2

tx McLeach, and everyone for kind thoughts. I just changed my icon to a favorite photo of her doing that kitty-cat thing: sitting on newspaper.

12:33 am

i miss having kitties

12:34 am

aw, what a sweetie, melon

pe 8

12:35 am

looks like a much older cat melon

12:36 am

top row completed

so sorry, Mel.

12:36 am

thx for pe8, Volley

she wasn't one of the cuddly ones. A semi-longhair with a white star on her chest, she had an incredibly long tail, and loved to take the regal kitty pose, sitting tall with her tail wrapped around her. I could almost hear her say, "you may now admire me." She was too cool to purr, and showed affection by resting her chin, inasmuch as a cat has a chin, on the back of my hand. Her favorite exercise was to pounce on my toes as I wiggled them under the covers. Fond memories.

She was 12

12:38 am

it is so hard to lose a loved pet

12:38 am

you paint a picture, melon.:)

12:38 am

that's the part that stinks about having pets, for sure

12:39 am

clue for one of the E's please - dont see anything at all ?

Her nickname was Mrs Whinestein, on account of a whiny meow, especially if she wasn't fed before I took my coat off on arriving home!

ep4, it's huge, man!

12:40 am

lol, melon

12:40 am

still haven't found the re8.

12:40 am

tx all got two

12:41 am

aw melon.. great stories

thanks.

12:42 am

we had a cat that would retrieve things like a dog

12:42 am

ea 7/36

12:42 am

ha, our animals often have their 'official' name plus nicknames (sometimes multiple nicknames too)

ty diz... new word for me

12:43 am

ruru, so did we! two, actually. the first liked to retrieve a rabbit's foot and the other liked to retrieve plastic bottle caps

me 8/60

12:44 am

on the not so awesome side, though, that first also liked to play soccer down the hall with her poop :eek:

12:44 am

of course the other two cats thought that cat was crazy

12:44 am

cats are crazy ;)

ruru, no two are alike. Our other cat lived to 18, huge greay and white with tabby markings, Missy K, aka Missy Cookie Jar, or, unkindly by her "uncle" Jabba the cat. She liked to sleep behind my head, which I tolerated even if it meant my feet were hanging off the bed! When her purr devolved into a diesel truck roar, I convinced her to take to the "ca chair", a ratty handmedown upon which they were permitted to scratch.

co 7 x 2

12:45 am

i used to take sunday naps and the little black kitty "ninja" would come squeaking and run under the covers to cuddle with me

12:45 am

yup, they sure do have such distinct personalities, quirks, likes/dislikes, etc.

McLeach, our's loved the "milk rings", the bit of plastic you pull off the plastic cap to a milk jug.

12:47 am

our cats have always chosen their own toys, and usually not something we specifically intended to be a toy for them :p

did someone need help with re8?

12:47 am

that would be me, melon!

well, for one thing, it's not an -ing word.

12:48 am

okay, I was thinking it would be

12:49 am

there are ing words :D

12:49 am

???

12:49 am

:D

12:49 am

pull the other one, ru

It's part of a re7/8 pair. Here's a cryptic clue: It's hiding amongst stones, you'll find it in real igneous rocks.

12:50 am

thx for the hint

yqw. I love to give cryptic clues.

phantom: sling.

12:52 am

.. a little too cryptic for me :D

keep looking, ruru. Do you know how cryptic clues work?

They basically hide in plain sight. See?

12:54 am

fireworks

12:54 am

wtg Mitch!

zowie, Mitch!

12:55 am

how many words total today?

279

12:55 am

thx Volley, still trying to eke out 200 (I'm at 193)

12:55 am

too cryptic for me too!

OK, look for re in the clue. Take it from there.

12:57 am

I haven't got it yet either, cyber/ru. Too tired. (or at least that's the excuse I'm going to give!)

12:57 am

I love cryptic clues and that was a beauty melon :)

thanks ChrissieDee. I happen to love the English-style cryptic crosswords. My goal is to compose one myself one day.

12:58 am

ah - got it! -- ty melon

Wasn't that fun?

12:59 am

clue for the rest of us, nan? tx :-)

1:00 am

Look at melon's clue again Une, it's spelled out

i feel awfully dumb

1:01 am

too tired . . . oh well

1:02 am

pe 7 x 2

1:11 am

I'm waiting for the other one we still have to come home yet. A few nights ago I heard a cat screaming outside and a ruckus, so went out to check to make sure mine was okay and couldn't find her. I kept checking and calling for about an hour to no avail. Then all of the sudden, I happened to catch a shadow of movement out the corner of my eye and discovered she had somehow managed to get up on the roof of the house. :p

OK, stopping at 150, top line greyed out. Fun grid. Thanks to all for kind words and sharing your cat-tales (; nite-nite [poof]

1:12 am

Did anyone try to pen lickety's clues? I can't get it to open.

1:12 am

She was following me from atop the roof as I circled around calling to her. :p

2:02 am

3:09 am

pugs, on our news, two fire fronts were about to merge. firefighters are hoping it will create a good fire-break.

3:39 am

well thats very good!

3:39 am

:D

3:39 am

{{sprite}} Itried to call you last night, to tell you that joke as it was a terrible flop in my poor French, but I had written your number down so cryptically, that thecall wouldn't go through.

3:40 am

and did you have the son meeting yet

3:40 am

Please e-mail me your phoneno, so |I can give you a chuckle

3:40 am

Pugs" the joke is too risqué for yu lol

3:40 am

aw sweetie. Will email it to you :)

3:40 am

lolol ruby! Our poor innocent pug... ;)

3:42 am

Im just pleased you two get a chuckle because you guys need it! :)

3:42 am

I don't want to lead pug astray!

3:42 am

yA think?

3:43 am

thanks Ruby, but Iam not that innocent

3:43 am

*giggles* Pug is as bad as we are... she just hides it better.

3:43 am

Hi all :)

3:43 am

the problem with the joke was that \I think it needed a voice (and probably hand gestures)

3:43 am

{{lizlin}}

3:43 am

hiya Liz :)

3:44 am

Been skyping with England so a late start today.

3:44 am

Been skyping with England so a late start today.

3:44 am

Sorry!! Hit enter twice!

3:44 am

Hi ya Liz! hugs and how are you

3:44 am

lucky me, cause I just started as well

3:44 am

Hugs to you all :) Sorry I missed Rose but just e mailed her.

3:45 am

Big grid - hope I have time to complete it!

3:45 am

what is skyping? I see alot of people using this word

3:45 am

using the computer for a face to face phone call - it doesn't cost anything so I chatted to my friend in the UK for 30 mins and it was free!

3:45 am

it is a free way of telephoning over the computer, complete with camera images if you have webcam.

3:46 am

oh, thanks for the imfo

3:46 am

I tried it but a combination f the delay and how awful I looked, turned me off

3:46 am

It works well for us but we've got a very good internet connection usually.

3:47 am

Are things just as sh***y as ever with the lawyers, ruby?

3:47 am

worse, if you can imagine

3:47 am

it's making e sick

3:47 am

:( very sorry to hear that. and the offspring no help, as ever.

3:48 am

*hugs ruby*

3:48 am

and tomorrow "offspring" will be 50! totally unsympathetic

3:49 am

he should really be helping you, no matter what

3:49 am

helping me? I'd be happy with a phone call!

3:50 am

does he live very far from you Ruby

3:50 am

on your behalf, I wouldn't. Phonecall AND help.

3:50 am

No doubt he expects special treatment for tomorrow!

3:51 am

he lives in TX but he used to call me regularly. Since his visit in April, I've barely heard from him

3:51 am

Maybe Sprite could loan you her son! She needs a break from him--lol

3:51 am

Big hugs

3:51 am

I've sent him a gift and an envelope full of interesting stuff. I'll e-mail him like there's nothing wrong

3:52 am

Good for you :)

3:52 am

ain't that the truth, pug :)

3:52 am

at least there'd be something to work on; my son just says how busy he is but that everything is fine!

3:52 am

good for you, ruby.

3:52 am

Pugs = not sure that ruby would appreciate Tim while he's acting up!

3:52 am

I'll call it "erev John's birthday"

3:52 am

Be good for sprite though.

3:53 am

since I have no baggage with Tim, it would be easier for me to deal with than for Sprite. She could have John for a while and Denise, of course,who comes with

3:53 am

Two for the price of one!!!

3:53 am

You win though

3:54 am

no, ruby sure doesn't need our Tim in his current behaviour. I still say, send Tim to ruby's and get ruby overhere.

3:54 am

Ah! Now that would work out well for everyone!

3:54 am

I'm sure she's the source of much of the friction as she doesn't like me, thinks I'm a terrible snob.ut of course acts sweet as pie when she's here

3:55 am

argh, I hate it when people do that.

3:55 am

Sounds like she's at the root of much of it then.

3:55 am

yeah, Sprite could hold Ruby's hand through all this

3:55 am

Nah! They'd both go out on the town!

3:56 am

we'd go and have fun in Amsterdam and Zaanstad, for sure.

3:56 am

does her family live in tx

3:56 am

we could pig out on rijstafel, my favorite Oriental food

3:56 am

Perhaps add in a trip to London - Tim would be with Burt so he'd be OK.

3:57 am

Denise has a huge family. Some in T, but John bought his huge house, 5 br etc, to accommodate her family

3:57 am

oh that would be easy here, ruby. We have all kind of rijsttafels. Indonesian, Chinese, Kantonese, you name it.

3:58 am

I bet they would just love it if you and burt dropped in for a few weeks(unannounce though)

3:58 am

I'd be happy to go anyplace to get out of here, but it's impossible right now as Burt can't do anything on his own (except drive -- oi veh, whatever that means lol)

3:58 am

Liz, that would be awesome :)

3:58 am

Hah! Remember my hubby being over confident with the spicing in an Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam!!!

3:59 am

*giggles* Yeah, errr, that wouldn't be wise.

3:59 am

lol ruby - oi veh indeed (whatever it means!!!)

3:59 am

Don't know if it was a rijsttafel - lots of dishes - each got spicier!

3:59 am

there's probably an equivalent in Dutch lol

4:00 am

yep, sounds like one. Poor hubbby

4:00 am

her family stays there a lot

4:00 am

wee mij, ruby, grin. Sure, we have it. Arme ik.

4:00 am

And when I visited, Denise didn't even change the sheets in the guest rom (passive-aggressive, you think?)

4:00 am

It was just after the server had checked that it wasn't too hot - he'd said he was fine!!! Then he hit the spice!

4:01 am

Plain rude, I'd call it!

4:01 am

rude and dirty

4:02 am

hahahaha Liz... oh poor man, but I can't help giggling at the image.

4:02 am

I didn't even tell John, no point

4:02 am

His mouth burnt for ages! It was our first time away together!

4:02 am

I must admit, I did laught.

4:02 am

Was sympathetic too!

4:02 am

so you had to do a lot of kissing to make it better :)

4:03 am

Who me??? Innocent look!

4:03 am

nice try, Liz, nice try. Not convincing though...

4:03 am

OK - yes, I'll admit it!

4:03 am

when I worked with Burt, we used to have lunch in restos every day. One time, a macho Hispanic maager had lunch with us and added very hot peppers to his pasta. He sat there with his eyes streaming and his bald head sweating, and never said a word!

4:03 am

thats whats known as hot lips

4:03 am

hehehe

4:04 am

No ruby - right not to tell John. He'd only have got defensive.

4:04 am

Like that Pugs - i'll tell him!

4:04 am

hehehe ruby, a re4 macho man

4:04 am

lol pug :)

4:05 am

He laughed and admitted his ego got in the way!

4:05 am

that was a painless 100, surrounded by my pals!

4:06 am

that is awesome. Good man.

4:06 am

4:16 am

4:16 am

4:24 am

thank you Dt

4:24 am

and you too Sprite

4:24 am

hi all

4:24 am

my pleasure, pug

4:24 am

Hello Dtins

4:25 am

brb--coffee

4:27 am

popism - believing in the office of pope

4:31 am

all set now to carry on--lol

4:31 am

ah good. I could do with a coffee as well... shall I wait until my love awakes?

4:32 am

nah, enjoy a cup with me

4:32 am

great idea. *holds up cup*

4:32 am

rather innocuous grid

4:33 am

My sister is a big tea drinker and I got her this new tea(carmel vanilla) I gave it a try and it was really good

4:33 am

hi o-o, good to see you. Yeah, not as intimidating as the recent tiny bastards.

4:33 am

cups up!

4:34 am

aw that sounds good, pug. A sweet smell for sure.

4:34 am

Morning OO

4:34 am

that -ism ending in the corner seems to be rather disappointing though

4:35 am

it was Sprite! smelled better than it tasted really

4:35 am

grin, tea to make and not drink

4:39 am

sprite did you read OO's profile...another good one, thought the picture is a bit dark

4:45 am

I have now. Yeah, great text. I kinda like the dark icons... this one is perfect for Halloween.

4:46 am

Yeah it is good for Halloween but it reminds me of the death card

4:47 am

He had a real good one yesterday--made me cry

4:47 am

did you get to take the train yesterday

4:48 am

missed that one :(

4:49 am

yeah, my love took me to therapy yesterday (he had to hand in his business car for the duration of his holiday) and I took the tram and train back. My love and Terra were waiting for me when I stepped out of the train, we walked home together.

4:49 am

ahh that was nice

4:50 am

very much so.

4:51 am

the death card in tarot? It depics new beginnings, endings of a phase, not death, did you know?

4:51 am

how long is he off

4:51 am

depicts*

4:51 am

two whole weeks, pug.

4:52 am

No I didnt know that Sprite

4:52 am

you and him got any special plans

4:53 am

not me. Just trying to stay alive and as mentally healthy as I can manage is my pl4. His are to break out closet in our living room, add the space to the living room and put his desk there, with his computer.

4:54 am

so you getting your whole living room remodeled then-lol

4:55 am

sounds like a good time to go to Ruby's

4:55 am

well let him handle Tim for these 2 weeks

4:55 am

I could do without the mess and noise, to be honest. All I need to go bananas is losing my safe spot at home. But it will do Rob a world of good. He is happiest when remodeling the house.

4:56 am

Is he like Tim the Toolman? lol

4:56 am

don't know Tim the Toolman

4:57 am

oh it was a show on here starring Tim Allen

4:58 am

ah ok :) Probably, then. Rob is a carpenter, originally. He makes the most wonderful things with his hands. And enjoys the process.

4:58 am

He liked to fix things up by superfying his power tools and making a mess or causing caios

4:59 am

oh, lol, no, Rob is really handy. But he makes a mess and creates chaos like nobody's business. In the end, though, things will be better.

4:59 am

thats a good thing for you

5:01 am

yeah. Guess I will be staying a lot in my computer room the next 2 weeks. Wearing earplugs.

5:02 am

babble burbed

5:03 am

did they ever get done with the roadwork

5:03 am

hehehe yeah, situation back to normal

5:03 am

no, it is still going on, pug. But, thank God, no longer near our house. I can still hear it, but I don't see it anymore.

5:03 am

do you like building too

5:04 am

nooooooooooooooo! I want peace and quiet, a place for everything and everything in its place.

5:04 am

well that a plus then

5:05 am

when I had the horses and was in the barn alot I had to repair many things and build fence too

5:06 am

my body won't let me do stuff like that anymore. I used to like papering rooms and reshuffling the furniture.

5:07 am

my body dont get near the exercise as it did when I had horse and I miss the riding and cleaning and packing feed and hay, all that goes with that

5:08 am

I feel like a whale stuck on the beach now :(

5:08 am

I can imagine. It is a great feeling to have your body do hard word and managing.

5:09 am

I am certain you don't look like one at all, pug *hugs*

5:09 am

I know, I feel I have nothing to pull me out anymore

5:10 am

Maybe a baby one but I feel like one,even if I dont look like one

5:10 am

can't you chip in at a neighbour's farm?

5:11 am

you are a beautiful, strong and loving lady, pug. Believe it.

5:11 am

my neighbors are mostly amish and they have large families and too our neighbors are not very chummy

5:12 am

They tend to stay to themselves(the amish)

5:14 am

yeah I heard that about them. But still. Maybe there is a non-Amish farm nearby where they can use an extra hand sometimes. No need to get chummy, just pitching in.

5:15 am

no Sprite theres not. If someone needs help they hire the amish boys. Most dont want a woman

5:16 am

darn. I think something like that would do you good.

5:18 am

I often seek oblivion. This quote captures whey: Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. ~Norman Cousins

5:19 am

a few years ago Sprite (when I had the last of my horses) two of my sisters and I cleaned out a path to put up electric fence(cost me about 600.$)This was at my campgrounds. Anyway I took the mare and her colt down there came home and in 15 minutes they were back up here! Tore it all down--lol

5:19 am

So very true, that quote. And just living on from day to day can be a terrible struggle.

5:19 am

argh, pug, how horrible!

5:21 am

good one again OO

5:22 am

it wasent very funny Sprite. Three strands of wire and two months of hard work for such a small sucess

5:22 am

your presence has meaning for me, o-o. So does your advice. I have a wake-up light now and use it every morning, to see if I can battle the winter depression that way.

5:23 am

so frustrating, pug! Silly horses.

5:23 am

they had that wire clear down through 2 peoples yards

5:26 am

Sprite is your winter just starting

5:27 am

yes, we are in autumn now.

5:27 am

good morning everyone:)

5:27 am

hiya crossy :) *hugs*

5:27 am

so same as us then

5:28 am

1c here atm and a hard frost on everything:/ snow for tomorrow:(

5:28 am

((sprite))

5:28 am

yeah. Rose is going the other way though.

5:28 am

Hey Crossy! what a surprise---hows school

5:28 am

we are having a crazy autumn day here, crossy... it is like summer. They say it will be 28C today!

5:28 am

going well,puglet. am deep in english classes now and having fun:)

5:29 am

how is the neck, crossy? Have you found some relief for it?

5:29 am

28c??!! wow! swimming temps

5:29 am

neck is still a misery, sprite

5:29 am

absolutely. Kind of an indian summer on one day, grin.

5:29 am

its on the cool side here--34 and to climb into the 50's today

5:30 am

i have this counterweight thing that hooks over a top of a door and it has a chin harness and as you add weight it is suppsed to relieve pressure on the herniated disks

5:30 am

English was my best subject in school

5:31 am

does it work Crossy

5:31 am

do not know.it is still in the box,but i promise i will set it up today after school because i need some relief

5:31 am

sounds like a torture machine to me, crossy, but I guess traction is good when herniated. Sorry to hear you are still having trouble.

5:33 am

to start it says set up 8 pounds of counter weight and use for 15-20 minutes twice a day

5:33 am

and slowly add weight but never exceeding 20 pounds

5:34 am

Hugs Sprite and Crossy got to run.Have a good day you guys. bye bye

5:34 am

and to consult doc on weight settings

5:34 am

tc,pugs

5:34 am

well give it a try but stay on the safe side, I'd say. Keep breathing and keep feeling.

5:34 am

hi all

5:34 am

bye pug, have a good day *hugs*

5:34 am

howdy,joso

5:34 am

adios pug

5:34 am

hey joso! *hugs* How are you today?

5:34 am

hi crossy

5:35 am

I am in fine fiddle today sprite

5:35 am

that sounds wonderful, joso. Am glad!

5:36 am

brb.must hunt down a tea

5:36 am

I just got served a coffee... wiener melange. Am a happy trooper.

5:37 am

ah, yes, if you are not familiar with the expression 'in fine fiddle' is a good thing.

5:37 am

I figured that. As opposed to 'in a fine pickle', right?

5:37 am

an older expression, not used much any more

5:38 am

I love old expressions. In dutch and in english. Guess that is why I like enable.

5:38 am

speaking of enable, explain to me why la6 is valid and internet isn't... crazy.

5:39 am

like I have la6 yet

5:40 am

internet is probably just too new for enable

5:40 am

la6 as in table that goes across your legs Sprite

5:40 am

lol... compound la6.

5:40 am

hello all

5:40 am

ahhh! Thanks Kallia, didn't know there was a meaning before the computer. Now it makes sense... for enable. And hi :)

5:40 am

hi kallia

5:41 am

Kallia, is that you in the icon?

5:41 am

and we say in fine fettle Joso :)

5:41 am

well oldies do lol

5:42 am

one less word to worry about, tnx kallia

5:42 am

make that two, joso

5:43 am

ahhh, tomayto tomatto

5:43 am

lipped

5:43 am

oops

5:43 am

Kallia, is that you in the icon?

5:43 am

3

5:43 am

even oo4 is dangerous today

5:44 am

yes its me Sprite

5:44 am

awesome! You are beautiful. I LOVE the laughing lines.

5:44 am

thank you x

5:45 am

better to call them that then wrinkles lol

5:46 am

hehehe they are GOOD rimples. Lovely.

5:46 am

rimples....a lovely word :)

5:47 am

oh! Jeezz how silly of me. Rimpels = dutch for wrinkles.

5:47 am

she is right, there are laugh line wrinkles and scowl wrinkles, makes the world of difference

5:47 am

love it, think I will use it in future!

5:47 am

:D

5:48 am

and worst of all are faces that are botoxed or facelifted wrinkle-less. Better a good scowl than that.

5:49 am

oh I agree...when I see some of the older celebs...I just think 'and they think they look good'?????

5:49 am

men as well as women

5:49 am

exactly! They lost all that made them so beautiful.

5:51 am

did you catch rose at all sprite?

5:52 am

have to go out and get some new wellies, so I can walk the dog.....mine split yesterday. See you all later x

5:52 am

not me, alas, joso. She left just before I logged on.

5:52 am

ta kallia, have a good day

5:52 am

have a grand day, Kallia!

5:53 am

she went to the doc today, all good news, doc supports the need for surgery, and tells rose her surgion is very good.

5:56 am

oh joso, that is wonderful! Oh I am so glad. And blowing raspberry at her workcover. Yessss!

6:03 am

well now that I've spoiled Roses news my work is done, going to work the grid some more for a while.

6:03 am

*giggles* thanks joso, I am glad you told me. Already emailed rose to yelll yayyyyy at her.

6:04 am

I have to go make dinner but need a clue for the 10 before I do that - please.

6:05 am

hi Dianne, gerund to having a drink/small bite before dinner.

6:05 am

Thanks - just could not see it for anything.

6:06 am

they had to clue it for me as well, couldn't find it myself :)

6:09 am

the Ps are evil today. So many!

6:14 am

back with success from the hunt for a tea!:)

6:16 am

good :) and wb.

6:16 am

what are the first letters of the 10, sprite

6:16 am

btw

6:16 am

I'm back

6:16 am

{{crossy}} and it's even Tuesday

6:16 am

hi ruby, ap10

6:17 am

ty sprite, never would have seen that

6:17 am

((ruby tuesday!!))

6:18 am

guess it is the british spelling that is making it hard to find.

6:18 am

has anybody heard of a series "Lilyhammer"?

6:18 am

not me

6:19 am

not i

6:19 am

I've only seen 2 episodes of the 8, but it is exceptionally funny and well-written, starring one of Tony Soprano's henchmen

6:19 am

It should be subtitled "Organized crime comes to Norway" and the whole premise is a hoot!

6:20 am

oh wow, just looked it up and it didn't seem funny at all, how interesting that it is :)

6:20 am

I'm in love with the puzzle. Fantastic letter combos :)

6:20 am

what's funny is how corrupt the seemingly-innocent rural Norwegians are and how Giovanni is absolutely Manichean and solves everybody's problems

6:21 am

it is a good one, isn't it boatierra :)

6:21 am

hello boatierra

6:21 am

will keep an eye out, ruby. It might come to the netherlands some day.

6:21 am

the two p,s and the gerund make the first 100 words just fly onto your list

6:21 am

Hey ruby. Man, those innocent yet corrupt Norweigian. Can't turn your back on them.

6:22 am

they biting the heads off of kippers again? :)

6:22 am

it's such a funny idea and written by a combination of Norwegians and Steven Van Zandt.

6:22 am

my first endings were the past tense and person who. Then I spotted the gerund. And the -ism but that seems to be hopeless.

6:22 am

lol crossy!

6:23 am

Same here sprite, all those endings. Oh! Didn't see the -ism. Thank you :)

6:24 am

nah, don't thank me, it seems to be a dead one.

6:24 am

I still don't even have half

6:24 am

I'm seeing that now, bummper.

6:24 am

That would be bummer, not bumper.

6:24 am

pism

6:25 am

yeah. I have tried ugh words there, lol. But not one takes. I have put popism into the babble dictionary as the believe in the pope as an office.

6:26 am

Popism, sounds like a saying :) Oh you know the old popsim...

6:26 am

"win one for the gi 6/30!"

6:26 am

lolllll good one! Will add that def.

there is one -ism I've found, re7

6:27 am

Thank you lady, got it :)

6:28 am

how about pepism... having lots of pep

6:28 am

hi ivesy! Yeah, good one too.

6:28 am

oh lady, you just made my day. Thank you!

6:28 am

lol..good morning..

yw

6:28 am

<-- hates to see a good ending go to waste

6:28 am

{{ivesy}}

6:28 am

could u clue it lady?

6:28 am

plz

6:29 am

still looking for the re7....

6:29 am

how things are in fact, the actual state of things

yeah what sprite said!

6:30 am

Opposite of fake.

6:30 am

ahhhh got it ty

6:30 am

*grin*

6:30 am

I had that, duh me....

6:31 am

I guess that me**s it's nap time

6:31 am

lol indeed, ruby. Have a lovely nap.

6:32 am

sounds good,wish i could go back to bed, but work today .....was a zoo yesterday as both computer rooms were down, one for a class and one under construction ...people get mean when they cant use the computers.

6:32 am

I finally discovered the -et ending. With 20 left!

6:33 am

omg indeed, ivesy. Very frustrated people. I hope today will be kinder to you.

6:34 am

meee tooo lol.. ty sprite. only work til 2 so i will miss the kids coming after school.

6:34 am

Can I get a clue for the ap 10 please? Thanks.

6:34 am

well praise the Lord for that :) Kids can be even meaner.

6:35 am

boat: gerund, to have a drink/small bite before dinner

6:35 am

Thank You! :)

6:35 am

brb need coffee

6:35 am

yvw :)

6:35 am

ty, sprite

6:36 am

nps ;)

6:36 am

fireflies. That -et ending greyed out a lot of boxes for me.

6:36 am

what thew me was the gerund ending on it .i would clue it as when food looks very good and appealing

6:37 am

that would be better, I think.

6:38 am

i was trying to work the er ending variant for 10 min:(

6:38 am

sowwy, cwoffy...

6:38 am

then again i am still on my first tea

6:38 am

Gots to go to bed. Thanks for the help all :)

7:09 am

Have a good day

7:12 am

that is what drives me nuts about Microsoft word. half the time you first draft looks like it is full of errors until you remember americanisms vs can/aus/uk

7:13 am

US spelling in the grid often catches me out.

7:13 am

can you set word for different keyboard recognition?

7:14 am

I use open office but my language is always set for UK English

7:14 am

i shall have to look into it

7:14 am

i use open office at home but in class i am stuck with MS office

7:15 am

I'd've thought if you go into tools when in Word, you can change the language

7:15 am

good thing is that with open office i can do homework and transfer it seamlessly to the class computer

7:16 am

It would be a major pain if you couldn't

7:16 am

most likely you are correct, liz

7:16 am

My six year old grandson's favorite word is in the grid today.

7:16 am

Morning all.

7:16 am

Hi Bea

7:17 am

I'd love to ask what his fav word is but I guess it might be a po word!

7:17 am

You got it!

7:17 am

;)

7:18 am

po5.16 I hope. Hi Bzzn

7:18 am

But that word is slowly taking a back seat to penis.

7:19 am

Liking your thinking Lyn

7:21 am

Stew is about to disappear - the next wave of thunderstorms about to arrive. Pity they aren't further north - we could do without the rain

7:21 am

well ladies ,it is time for me to haul this mass of muscle off to class. take care and happy babbling

7:21 am

bye Cross

7:21 am

It's so dry here too but no fires at the mo, thank goodness. Wish it would rain in NSW

7:21 am

I'm getting an education with this one as I raised girls. Boys are a new thing for me.

7:22 am

Bye crossy - have a good day

7:22 am

Bye, Mr. Hair.

7:23 am

You are officially in drought this year Liz?

7:23 am

Not yet. I don't think so anyway. And our forecast is for lots of storms and cyclones this year.

7:24 am

phangtom: despotism

7:25 am

7:25 am

Have only found one ism word so far

7:25 am

7:26 am

Hi lbd

7:26 am

7:26 am

Morning, lbd.

7:34 am

sweet sleeps, Lyn

7:34 am

Night, lyn.

7:39 am

50 left - enough for tonight. Goodnight all - enjoy your days.

8:12 am

has everyone tried google today?

8:12 am

super fun

hurshy, did you get my url about mint cookies yesterday?

8:14 am

yes, thanks!

i highyly recommend them. i found them before the walmart ones.

8:17 am

i shall try. the thing i like about the walmart ones is, unlike with milanos, where i can't stop eating them, i can have a serving size and be satisfied.

8:18 am

maybe because they have more mint, like IN the cookie, instead of the layer of mint inside, or something.

that is funny, i felt the same way about the moravians, but i seemed to build up a tolerance for them.

8:25 am

Good morning, darlings!

8:25 am

mornin judi

oh my, judi, where did you find that icon pic?

8:27 am

Ha ha, TO. I stumbled upon it on Google.

8:28 am

clue for the 10 please

a complete joke, i take it. because the eggs symbolize new life.

8:28 am

Have you seen the Google animation for today? It celebrates the first parachute jump over 200 years ago and you can guide the parachute down yourself.

in this area two school have bainshed all reference to halloween.

8:29 am

Oh, how cute, Haz. I'll have to go play.

aw. too bad my browser won't allow it. and very nice to see you, haz.

8:30 am

I hope it's a joke, TO. It's too ridiculous to be serious. Then again, there are those who ban Halloween. The world is going mad.

8:30 am

It's great - innocent fun for all.

please. we are fiddling while rome burns.

8:31 am

The parachute jump, I mean, halloween has become a bit too ghoulish for my taste.

no, haz, it's not. it's a christian holiday and not everyone is christian, so one gets into constitutional issues.

meanwhile, johnny can't re4.

but hey, his constituional rights are being protected.

8:32 am

We never used to have the whole trick or treat thing but it's become more and more the norm.

and we should not go farther down that road.

8:32 am

Halloween is a christian holiday?? I didn't know that. I thought it was just something that evolved from a harvest festival or something.

8:33 am

as a non-christian, i find that somewhat silly. it is such a secularized day.

funny, it;s become the second biggest retail holiday here, esp in te4s of decorating. i ind it rather stupid.

8:33 am

on the other hand, some observant jews do not observe it.

from all saint/souls days

i love the mexican day of the dead and some day hope to be there for it. it really celebrated those who have died.

8:34 am

WHAT. EV. ER. People need to lighten up, tolerate, and stop sucking all the fun out of everything.

8:34 am

It's supposed to be the eve of all saints day but somehow it has gone all zombie and nasty. As children we used to have false faces of animals, now it's zombies and witches and scary people.

8:35 am

Judi, I absolutely agree with you!

as scary has evolved, so has halloween. we were about witches and goblins and ghouls. think william castle vs. reddie kruger

8:36 am

i do feel, in the u.s., halloween sort of fosters unhealthy attitudes toward death, and it's become so scary.

8:36 am

well it's sort of like how mardi gras is "christian" in that it is the last day before lent. but really, i mean, it's lent that is the christian holiday.

8:37 am

it all sort of reminds me of that one original series star trek episode with that buttoned up society that had "the red hour" each day or something, where everyone went crazy and could do anything, and nobody was safe.

well, as kids we loved to be scared. but what is portrayed in movies and tv as scary is too close to real life.

8:37 am

Now we call it "happy hour".

8:37 am

I used to love Halloween both as a child myself and when my children were young. It was just fun. Come on, people, can't we just enjoy something rather than analyze it, pardon the expression, "to death?"

lol@ judi. cheers!

8:38 am

As long as you allow people the right to not enjoy things.

8:38 am

the issue, though, is celebrating it in school. surely it can be done outside of school

ok, shall i declare the bar open?

8:39 am

So, true Mimi. Halloween is about pretending and dressing up for fun. Not to mention, some people like to be scared. Otherwise, there would be no roller coasters or Disney World wouldn't have a Haunted Mansion.

8:39 am

Many people have absolutely perfected the art of NOT enjoying things.

i cannot weigh in on that, since i went to private schools.

8:39 am

then again - our custodian here has a phobia about people in costumes, so even the "innocent" forms of halloween are terrifying to her! lol

8:40 am

I mean, really, it's one day in the year and people should take responsibility for their children's attitudes toward this and everything else. My kids LOVE Halloween to this day and they're adults...hasn't turned them into serial killers!

8:40 am

I wonder if the fear of costumes has a phobia name?

8:40 am

and candy, it's about candy. a good thing. love sweets.

8:41 am

probably, haz

8:41 am

of course, in the u.s. if you can commercialize something and sell lots of stuff, well then.

8:41 am

Hint for the ap 10 pls

8:41 am

I should use google to look it up but I might end up directing parachutes.

8:41 am

I love the entertainment value of Halloween. Kids look adorable, there are parades and parties. It's a FUN thing.

8:41 am

ml

8:42 am

That's the thing, the US has influenced the type of halloween we have in Britain.

8:42 am

i hate that.

remember when your parents put you into dad's flannel shirt, cokered your face and made you a hobo pack? that simple.

or threw a sheet overyou?

8:43 am

To change the subject, I have a Nature show about hummingbirds that my cats LOVE. They're fascinated watching. One goes up to the TV and can't seem to understand why he can't touch them!

8:44 am

aww. my cats would loove that.

8:44 am

well, one of them would

8:44 am

On the other hand, Guy Fawkes has become a bit more popular here in the States, Haz. Guy wasn't exactly known as a fun-loving guy.

8:44 am

Maskaphobia. I'd hoped for something grander.

8:44 am

something latin

8:44 am

lol

8:45 am

pooper should totally be in the dictionary

8:45 am

modern psychologists have no imagination

8:45 am

It's so much fun watching them watch TV. My Pywakit especially loves it. Gives them a bit more stimulation during part of the day.

8:46 am

Off to run a few work errands. BBL. *POOF*

8:46 am

With perhaps one exception, hurshy?!!! Me?

8:47 am

well, are you in charge of naming new phobias?

8:47 am

I wonder who is in charge? And can you imagine how long the German versions must be?

bye judi. and bye all. the rils are having a day out toeday and i'd best et moving before time gets away from me.

8:48 am

Nah...I'm not in charge of much of anything and, frankly I like it that way!

girls are having lunch and visiting a winery.

8:48 am

Bye, TO.

8:49 am

i'm running out of imagination for L's, myself.

8:49 am

9:12 am

Hello, Scrabbler. How are you?

9:12 am

my baby lima clue didn't help gran?

9:12 am

I am doing fine, Haz. Busy with life. How are you doing?

9:13 am

gran - do you have po6/24? po7/36 pl of that. unless there are two.

9:13 am

I'm fine as well. I didn't get the grid finished this morning hence the afternoon visit.

9:14 am

I have a hospital mtg (Dept of Pediatrics) at noon, then will shop for my mom and visit her.

9:14 am

name that proper noun! coke rival

9:15 am

ea7 -first four letters are mixed up 'Penny' as sung about by the Beatles, last three are gerund.

9:15 am

Is your mum doing okay? I know you still miss your dad and so must she.

9:16 am

Ty for clue, Haz. Mom is doing ok. For a few months now she can talk about Dad without crying.

9:17 am

That's good, at least you can see that she's making progress. Time heals if you allow it.

9:18 am

Pepsi (for the coke rival)

9:18 am

Yes. Grief is brutal.

9:20 am

I see your name in quote-puzzler a lot.

9:21 am

ding ding ding!

9:22 am

Got the ea - now for the po 7/36

9:22 am

Hello everyone. Nice to see you all here. Haz - Thanks for the ea7 clue. :)

9:22 am

You do very well in QP too, Haz!

9:22 am

Hi Jacula!

9:23 am

Some days better than others, Scrabbler. I do better if I wait until the afternoon.

9:23 am

Hello, Jacula!

9:23 am

I do a victory dance if I ever beat nrkii. She's phenomenal.

9:24 am

Never played QP and think I've lost the link now.

9:24 am

You'd like it, Jacula. www.quote-puzzler.com

9:25 am

I'll give it a go, Haz. Thanks for the link. x

9:25 am

Is the total for today 278 or 279

9:25 am

279

9:25 am

Some of the games are timed and I'd like to know how important the time is versus doing it carefully.

9:26 am

Right I have 278 - still looking for the po 7/36

9:26 am

plural of po6/24

9:26 am

Are there two po7/36?

9:27 am

Don't know, Haz. I was late starting and still have 74 words to find.

9:27 am

sperm

9:27 am

*giggle*

9:27 am

the po 7/36 is a fabric, pluraled

9:28 am

Thanks Matches. I hadn't spotted that one. :D

9:28 am

Jacula, are you watching Great British Bake off?

9:28 am

yes, Haz.. there are two po7.36

9:29 am

Hi all

9:29 am

Thanks, Aloy and hello.

9:29 am

Haz - Not every week, but I do catch some of it.

9:29 am

Hi Aloy.

9:29 am

Got that one - it is the last po 7/36 that I am struggling on

9:29 am

It's the final tonight. I'll have to race home from Dog training to see it. I want Kimberly to win.

9:29 am

at last

9:30 am

oh

9:30 am

it is past tense of po5/12

9:30 am

Haz, I am amazed that nrkii dominates the games everyday.

9:30 am

I'm trying to think which one is Kimberley.

9:31 am

She's the black girl with the beaming smile.

9:31 am

Scrabbler, I think we need to find out her techniques or maybe she's just extra brainy.

9:32 am

Oh, yes. It's down to her, Frances and Ruby now.

9:32 am

BTW, Haz. I've recently updated my blog (in case you'd given up looking).

9:32 am

I could tolerate being in a kitchen with her, I couldn't tolerate Ruby's mess and moaning.

9:33 am

Yes, Ruby is a moaner. I was about to say that. LOL

9:33 am

I'll check it out, Jacula.

9:34 am

Now making it clear we're talking about Bake-Off contestants Ruby, Frances and Kim, NOT any Babblers who share those names!

9:34 am

I have no doubt that she's very talented but have some joy in the kitchen! My daughter describes her as 'Droopy'

9:34 am

Lol - 'droopy' covers it, Haz. :)

9:34 am

name that proper noun! a person from a certain fictional country, eg Balki Bartokomos

9:35 am

Name the royal bridesmaid...

9:35 am

Pippa

9:35 am

9:39 am

It's the only one I've found so far.

9:39 am

Thanks for the re7.

9:40 am

You're welcome.

9:40 am

I want teapot, but it isn't there.

9:40 am

9:40 am

I can only think of scary TV cook Fannie Craddock. lol

9:41 am

She WAS scary.

9:41 am

Dermot?

9:41 am

9:41 am

Gosh, lucky guess.

9:46 am

to8 brings to mind those amazing domino set-ups where they fall down on cue and create works of art.

what makes a word weird? not having seen it before - esp if we've never even seen it in other babble grids

10:37 am

so, unfamiliarity makes it weird for one, but perhaps not for another

10:41 am

love makes the world go round...I always thought it was gravity. :)

It's an interesting grid, I think.

I've been here less than 15 minutes and have 60 words found so far! :-) I'm always encouraged by that!

11:28 am

You'll find a lot more, I'm sure, but it's always nice to rattle off a good number at the start.

11:29 am

It is, isn't it? I need to entertain my grandson in a bit; so won't be on here much longer, but if I can get to 100 before then I may be able to finish later tonight!

8:00 pm

I knew you would cleavage that for more

8:01 pm

what's worse than two guys making puns?

8:01 pm

dunno what?

8:02 pm

three guys making puns

8:02 pm

2 guys making puns about breasts..... (this coming from a woman who was relatively flat chested for most of her life, particularly junior high when it was soooo painful)

8:02 pm

just got news that i didn't get a job that i really really wanted

8:02 pm

but that's ok.... you can go on, cause they're decent now

8:02 pm

ugh Shirl

8:02 pm

haha pen

8:03 pm

oh, sorry to hear thant shirl...

8:03 pm

sigh, i have a "good" job, but i'm bored with it

8:03 pm

so trying to get back into digital education

8:04 pm

gland we could help, Dorens

8:04 pm

and i thought this job was IT

8:05 pm

Hope you find what you want, Shirlockc

8:06 pm

shirl, am sorry you missed out this time...just don't give up on trying hun. you never know, an even b etter position may be just around the corner.

8:07 pm

thx for the support, just feeling my age. i've been in digital for a long time and i guess the impression is i haven't made an impression

8:08 pm

it's very frustrating isn't it? you know you have the skills to offer, and they are just not appreciated.

8:09 pm

or maybe i am overreaching

8:10 pm

i don't think so....you just need a fair go, is all.

8:12 pm

sorry i missed mimi(just read back) she keeps me up to speed on all the good movies buried in netflix

8:12 pm

and blueheron, also crossie

8:14 pm

You will not know unless you try. Negative chatter is devastating .... Cognitive distortions are too. Accentuate the positive .. as the song goes.

8:14 pm

we will hook up i am sure. i have 2 conversations going in skype,2 e mail accounts open and and in and out of here and am also playing music vid clips. if i add one more thing to this ole machine i think it will just explode!

8:16 pm

computers have given me the attention span of a goldfish i swear. make me love reading for pleasure even more

8:16 pm

makes

8:17 pm

lolo. crossie, was wondering what was going on in your he4, now i know...

8:18 pm

Is there any literature on the attention span of a goldfish?

8:19 pm

granny,you would be horrified if you knew all that was going on in my head at any given moment

8:19 pm

yes there is o-o. it is aprox 4 seconds

8:19 pm

some say a bit more,some a bit less

8:20 pm

i believe it, crossie...

8:21 pm

I understand the attention span is quite good for what a goldfish has for brain matter.

8:21 pm

what were we talking about? ooh shiny

8:21 pm

well,if the fish can remember to eat,swim and poop that just about covers it all

8:22 pm

roflol

8:22 pm

i used to like shiny things, dan,but it ended up taking too much concentration

8:23 pm

what do we want?? "A CURE FOR ADHAD!!" when do we want it? "SQUIRREL!!!"

8:23 pm

crossie, you've been talking to joso???

8:23 pm

nope

8:25 pm

well that's what he says my problem is...i keeping being distracted by the squirrels, and miss huge chunks of chog...lol

8:26 pm

sorry,was watching the cat clean its face. i am back now,granny

8:26 pm

While most people believe that the attention span of a goldfish is a few seconds this has been proven wrong. A study done by the School of Psychology at the University or Plymouth in 2003

8:26 pm

yes, bet they studied the dilema for all of five minutes before firing up their facebook accounts lol

8:26 pm

blah blah blah

8:27 pm

lol, crossie....

8:27 pm

Humans: The average attention span in 2012 8 seconds The average attention span of a gold fish 9 seconds

8:27 pm

well,someone is just going to have to learn to speak fish.that is all there is to it

8:28 pm

gurgle, gurgle, bubble

8:28 pm

sigh,beaten by a a trout

8:28 pm

* flips a fin at crossie*

8:29 pm

everyone will have to forgive my ramblings. i am sure it is a direct result of there being too much blood in my alcohol system tonight.

8:31 pm

oh, no, crossie, not too much blood in the alcohol system. * passes next bottle of alcohol * here top it up, mate

8:32 pm

the toxic brew

8:32 pm

mmm, a little drop of the creature;)

8:32 pm

**hick** Right there with you, crossy!

8:37 pm

my child is fully grown , o-o he can deal with life on his own terms now along with whatever advice he choses to take or not take from the old man

8:38 pm

((mimi))

8:38 pm

They don't take much advice from us when they're "grown," do they ((crossy))?!!

8:39 pm

I told mine I just hope I live long enough to become smart again in their eyes...may have to be 120!

8:39 pm

a million and one things we do or not do during our child rearing years shape and mold the child into what he becomes in adulthood. how or what we drink or do not drink is but one of them

8:39 pm

not much at all.by the time they figure out ole mum and da are right, the parents curse is fully entrenched

8:40 pm

Even though all three of mine have college degrees and have been self-sufficient since age 18 but I get no credit for that....that's OK...I now have grandchildren I can spoil rotten, turn against their parents, fill full of sugar and send home!

8:41 pm

grandchildren are a parents reward for not killing off their own brood

8:42 pm

I remember my maternal grandmother telling me (at age 23) that now she knows why my mother came into the world...to get US together!

8:42 pm

I once told my best friend that I now know why some animals eat their young....

8:42 pm

i told him that too. when he was ten or so ":i can take you out boy and make another one that looks just like you" a few years later he said "dad, you better be nice to me because i get to decide which home you go into when you are older"

8:44 pm

Must get going....glass is empty. Have a good night, everyone and hugs all around. Special (crossy hug).

8:44 pm

diet ... something you keep putting off while you keep putting on ...

9:26 pm

If you are complaining about the diet, then you are probably doing it right. Such is the nature of the beast

9:27 pm

it's frustrating, cant exercise, except perhaps in a pool, and i hate using pools to swim. the only water i like to swim in is ocean, not bay.

9:28 pm

Water aerobics was an efficient way to lose weight and do some toning ... sometimes, it takes what one does not like doing to accomplish a goal.

9:32 pm

down

9:34 pm

congrats pida

9:34 pm

o-o. the only time i would use a pool would be first thing in the AM, before anyone pees in it. with my sleeping pattern at the moment, that isn't going to happen.

hiya bugsy

10:35 pm

oh, mab and bugsy are here!! how are you both?

10:35 pm

*feels ignored*

10:36 pm

I am cranky today granny. trying to stay quiet and relax, not trying to be rude

10:36 pm

ruru, you are much .......nope, not gonna say that.....how could anyone ignore that sweet face in your icon...

10:37 pm

not much chat tonight.

10:37 pm

awww, bugsy....s'okay, hun. you can be as rude as you like, hun. go ah4, it will make you fell better.

10:37 pm

either one is finished or frantic

10:37 pm

pick a subject, mab

10:37 pm

well .. you kind of got my goat granny :D

10:37 pm

i'm on the frantic side....

10:38 pm

*checks xanax supply in the PB*

10:38 pm

*chuckling* of course i did, mate. that's part of my job description.

10:38 pm

thanks granny but I am upset with the world I think. we shud deal with other people's frantic. Mine might involve murder hahahahah

10:39 pm

*cancels flight to BC temporarily*

10:39 pm

*rolls eyes* understood, bugsy

10:40 pm

Hi Bugs, ruru will cheer you up. Maybe I should come for a visit too!

10:40 pm

now murder, that's interesting.

10:40 pm

Oh and I really really like you icon

10:40 pm

{{saani}} hellooooo

10:41 pm

good plan ruru. My loving husband (who has a hoarding gene, I swear) collects "good stuff that other people throw away." Tonight he came home with a dead washing machine that his brother wanted taken to the dump and now wants to hook it up in the back yard and then let the water just pee out all over the lawn.....

10:41 pm

hello heelo to oyou too!

10:41 pm

I WILL NOT LIVE IN DOGPATCH, no matter how much I love him, so I have to calm down

10:42 pm

hi saanich. sorry about the rant

10:42 pm

sounds very trying, i think. worth a rant.

10:42 pm

poor bugsy. at least it's not costing you anything. mine, on the other hand, spends the better part of everyday cruising through web sites, looking for something to spend his money on.

10:42 pm

and I don't want to entertain friends in Dogpatch either.

10:43 pm

DH is on a first name basis with the postman, and both couriers who deliver to our area.

10:44 pm

I work to be grateful for that granny but I will have to spend thousands to clear it all out later if I can't get him to only bring home things he actually can use.

10:44 pm

my ex was a bringer of junk too... "But was on SALE!!" etc

10:44 pm

I would like him to fix and sell it or fix it and donate it to the women's shelter so they can give it to a worthy person. He just wants to keep it.

10:45 pm

here's a thought..try....thank-you dear, i know exactly what i will plant in that...

10:45 pm

when you chase someone else on sadie hawkins day maybe he will get the hint

10:46 pm

so saanich, when you asked him if he needed it tho, did he respond, "I will now". I am sure others understand my plight and it feels good not to be alone

10:46 pm

I have a friend who owns 20 boats ranging in size from 14 - 26 ft. In his backyard. He has never used them.

10:46 pm

omg, saani....

10:46 pm

joso and granny, I love those ideas. Bring on more! I am starting to feel better

10:47 pm

I persuaded him to part with a lovely Davidson dingy.

10:47 pm

so when you come to vist we can go boating

10:48 pm

I can't beat 20 boats but we do have 2 boats (that have never seen water) and a 42 foot long landing barge

10:48 pm

I would love it saanich. I have always said the only boat I have ever wanted is a little row boat

10:49 pm

my ex brought home two of those plywood boxes on wheels with a well in it to hold a till - ywo rolling till carriers.

10:49 pm

a barge!

10:49 pm

or, if you are that persuasive, perhaps you can get him to part with something

10:50 pm

you must live on the water?

10:51 pm

I'll try Bugs. He is possessive pun intended about his STUFF

10:52 pm

Mab I live across the street from the water, so lucky!

10:52 pm

yes mab but we are not on the water. It is in our back yard. He has another one he pays rent for because I only agreed to 1. If I weren't so embarrassed would post a picture of his part of the yard as an icon.

10:52 pm

one hopes so, and with a large property, it would all be so much worse if bugsaw lived in a 5th floor walkup bachelor.

10:52 pm

hahaha love to see it!

10:53 pm

maybe with some clever plantings....

10:53 pm

oh, oh, bugsy.....why don't you cut off the power cords? then look quizzically at him and say, didn't you see the cords were missing dear?

10:53 pm

BUGS!! SAANICH!!! ALL!!!! I HAVE MULTIPLE WALLS!!!! hold on, I'll upload a couple to the website...

10:53 pm

yahooo!! stiddy, wonderful news...

10:53 pm

heya Stid!!

10:53 pm

when he had it brought here, the neighbours started calling me Mrs. Noah and asked what we knew that they didn't. They have been wonderful about the increasing hoard.

10:53 pm

preferably a vine

10:54 pm

like kuzdu

10:54 pm

congrat stid

10:55 pm

YAY stid! I saw the first wall and how proud you all looked in your "private" spaces.

11:01 pm

private?

11:03 pm

*thinking the rinse cycle on the backyard washer must be really fun at Bug's house *

11:03 pm

there was only one wall put up but there were pictures of stidkid2 "in" his bedroom etc.

11:04 pm

cripes ruru, if he gets it his way, you will be the one to use it! I hadn't thot of it as another attraction

11:04 pm

I used to have a "hoarding" gene.. now i'm throwing stuff away

11:04 pm

my father was a hoarder

11:04 pm

I'm trying to be more Zen like :D

11:05 pm

Mrs Ru must be very proud. Give her a hug from me for waiting it out.

11:05 pm

okay, pics up

11:05 pm

I saw your comment, bugs, thanks. :-)

11:05 pm

great stid, where?

11:05 pm

uh sorta I guess

11:06 pm

on my site, bugs. Easiest for my non-fb folks to see them there.

11:07 pm

yes, Grant is trying to be nonchalant, but I think inside he is ready to go home, too. But I also think he is scared of the memories (and so am I, a little). I hope that having a completely new house will make it easier.

11:08 pm

just checked there. It looks great. Even a window! Now the excitement begins

11:10 pm

:-) yep. And more lesson planning. I have to figure out how to re-teach symbolism and theme to 8th graders tomorrow. What I had been working on apparently didn't save this weekend. (((hugs and choclits for all))) have a great rest of the week! *poof*

11:19 pm

I'm going to try to keep my mind off food!

11:20 pm

curls??? what's the problem, dear?

11:20 pm

good plan mccurl. I was successfully distracted from my emotions by these wonderful Babblers. Good luck all poof

11:21 pm

glad to help, bugsy.

11:21 pm

been sick for a couple weeks; started with cough; progressed to sinus junk and now that stuff is causing stomach issues and nothing stays where it should

11:22 pm

yuck, poor curls. cup of hot water/tea, very little milk. steam will help sinuses to drain, and will break down the viscosity.

11:23 pm

may try that granny, I love tea! Thanks

11:23 pm

np's, curls. hope your tummy settles.

11:25 pm

I know! I manage crackers but I'm just a bit apprehensive about anything else after losing my delicious steak dinner yesterday :-(

11:25 pm

going to make tea BB

11:58 pm

Can I get a clue for the de 8 please?

11:58 pm

de8, plural

11:59 pm

I don't have the de 8.

11:59 pm

de7, de4 + *** tac; mint

11:59 pm

detic

12:00 am

most of the fiend, de**n + almost the sound of a clock, plural for de8

12:00 am
