1:36 am

hey joso. solved the problem re photo as your icon. i had to uninstal my current java, and instal the latest...works fine now.

1:37 am

ah, a java issue.

1:37 am

oh I am so relieved, didn't sleep at all last night\

1:37 am

lol

1:37 am

lolol....yeah, right, joso

1:38 am

and now..... i really am truly leaving. xoxoxox

1:38 am

so you are heading out too fine tune your unruly drunk act

1:40 am

I guess I missed her, don't see her letting that stand without a response if she saw it

1:41 am

lol you are trying to keep her here. As soon as she notices, she will be able to walk away ;)

1:41 am

:)

1:42 am

maybe I am just getting too transparent in my evil machinations

1:43 am

yeah... that is never a good thing... evil machinations should be devious.

1:43 am

yeeaa, dats da ticket, sneeeaaakkkkyyy like

1:44 am

lolol

1:47 am

so how is life in the tulip fields

1:47 am

all dead by now, I think

1:48 am

painless halfway with all the Ks accounted for.

1:48 am

so, some what grimm, getting a o-o eye point of view

1:50 am

just the natural way of life... tulips bloom in spring. Not much left in autumn. And I am luckier than o-o. For me, medication and therapy is working.

1:51 am

you are naturally a much happier person than o-o, of course all living beings are

1:52 am

most likely because I didn't have to live through the horrible things he had to.

1:55 am

I don't know his story. but I know some of yours, and you allways, allways, are concerned about others

1:55 am

wanna guess which word was my very first today?

1:56 am

joso, so is o-o. He spends a lot of his time being there for people in mental and emotional need. Please don't be quick to judge.

1:56 am

i don't think your favorite word is here tonight

1:56 am

no, it isn't. But I came close.

1:56 am

ok, i'll give him some more rope

1:58 am

Hi Sprite & Joso

1:58 am

please do. As Haz said recently, he has never made a secret of his mental issues, he has been part of babble for a very long time and within his possibilities, he does what he can for others. There are quite a few 'happier' babblers I cannot say the same things about.

1:58 am

so what was your start tonight

1:58 am

hiya lyn :) xxx

1:58 am

And hello from me as well.

1:58 am

sp5/14 and plural of course ;)

1:58 am

hi lynxxx

1:59 am

hey haz

1:59 am

hi Haz :) Did your ears burn?

1:59 am

Kind of!

1:59 am

Good morning Haz

1:59 am

I was just about to sign in anyway.

1:59 am

:) All good, I promise.

2:00 am

Hello, lynxx, good to see you.

2:00 am

I keep checking out your photos Haz to see idyllic picures of your holiday - ???

2:01 am

I was just going to agree with you. o-o might be a self-confessed curmudgeon and he might be a bit unfiltered at times but he's OUR curmudgeon.

2:01 am

Oh, lynxx, I have to confess that we didn't take many pictures. I should load up the few that we did take.

2:02 am

I hope you had a lovely time, Haz

2:03 am

We did, it was so pretty (Lake Garda).

2:03 am

terrific . You had a good time? I googled the area and it looked wonderful

2:03 am

am glad :)

2:03 am

We've been several times before and have always enjoyed it. Verona is the nearest city and it's very walkable.

2:04 am

sounds very nice haz

2:05 am

It's very easy to visit the other towns on the lake either by bus or by ferry. Or you can just sit in a cafe and watch the comings and goings.

2:06 am

sounds like a perfect holiday

2:06 am

and how did the young man enjoy his 'holiday'?

2:07 am

Dempsey was at a local boarding kennels and he was fine. He's great with other dogs so it seems to have suited him.

2:08 am

good, that makes it all easier.

2:08 am

It's funny, you always have the fear that the dog will be different when you come back but he was just the same as ever. The people who run the boarding kennels also do his grooming so he was booked in for his cut and blow dry at the same time and emerged looking wonderful.

2:09 am

lots of 'almost' words in this grid

2:09 am

yeah. We are definitely one E short.

2:10 am

probably wondering why it took so long to get his haircut this time

2:11 am

I know! It would be interesting to know their thought processes.

2:11 am

lol... oh I can picture it. Those question ma5 over his head, looking at the people and thinking: you were way faster last time...

2:12 am

next time he goes in for grooming he'll be expecting you to pack his overnight bag

2:13 am

Husband keeps reassuring me that dogs live in the moment and have no sense of time. I think he just tells me that to make me feel better.

2:14 am

Talking of overnight bags, I have a friend who has discovered a mouse in her house. She's terrified and announced to her husband, semi-jokingly, that they should move to a hotel until the thing was caught. She later found her 4 year-old had packed her little bag with pants and vest and pyjamas.

2:14 am

Terra definitely seems to know when it is time for dinner

2:14 am

awwww that is so sweet!

2:14 am

It just shows how much children listen in!

2:14 am

very cute

2:15 am

they do. We have a dutch saying that goes something like: little pots have big ea4.

2:16 am

not only a dutch saying

2:16 am

ah nice :) Always fun to see which sayings are the same in both languages

2:34 am

Speaking of language.... The air here is blue. The last working hair dryer in this house just gave up the ghost. I have a big meeting this morning...i hope the Bed-head look is acceptable... :-(

2:35 am

aw poor Soodle *hugs* Go for fashionably messy

2:35 am

Hello, Soodle. I reckon anything goes these days.

2:35 am

or creative headscarves?

2:36 am

Delete the 'fashionably' & you have me...

2:36 am

You don't have any neighbours with suitable wigs?

2:37 am

Gosh Lynn, I wouldn't know where to start with a scarf!

2:37 am

Although I'd draw the line at some of those toupees.

2:37 am

My daughter has a very blonde wig left over after Halloween. I wonder......

2:38 am

There you go - problem solved.

2:38 am

google 14 Headwraps

2:39 am

(although I would kill to look like that young lady)

2:39 am

If you killed her, you could practise the headwraps in jail. Plenty of time on your hands...

2:43 am

You know when I was having chemo I lost amost of my hair...I have since found out no-one noticed (even husband and kids - let alone work friends) ...and strangely no-one commented on the headscarves I was wearing everyday for about 3 months.

2:43 am

..not even...

2:43 am

I was wondering if the headscarf idea was because you had resorted to them when you were ill.

2:44 am

no - my daughter had stumbed accross that clip recently

2:47 am

Thanks for the tip Lynn. But I'm going to take the lazy way out. I'll pop in for a wash n blow dry en route to Dublin. Unexpected expense, but justified in the circumstances.

2:47 am

Job interview?

2:48 am

If you need the confidence, go for it, Soodle.

2:49 am

absolutely. If you feel your hair looks good, you feel better

2:49 am

No, just a meeting with some pretty intimidating people. I'm a craven coward at the best of times, but with bad hair, I'd be a pushover!

2:50 am

wow lyn... so many styles and the lady looks beautiful in all of them. How odd that people didn't notice you losing your hair. You must have been looking pretty with the shawls.

2:50 am

Nobody can do the back of your hair like a hairdresser so for all round confidence you're right to go that route.

2:56 am

I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go! Have a great day/evening all. Bye.

2:57 am

I know you will have a successful meeting Soodle so enjoy the day

2:57 am

Bye, Soodle, hope today goes well.

2:58 am

good luck today, Soodle.

2:59 am

I am off too, must take the car to the garage. I hope it starts! back later. Bye all, have a lovely day/peaceful evening. *hugs*

3:00 am

Bye, sprite. All the best with the car.

3:00 am

Bye Sprite - hope it a cheap fix

3:05 am

Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx Could somebody kindly tell me how many words today please? xx

3:05 am

346 Worzel

3:05 am

346 worzel

3:05 am

ty haz xx

3:05 am

and ty lyn xx

3:06 am

And good morning to you.

3:07 am

Going to take a break for a bit - nice grid

3:08 am

It is! I'm heading off as well but it was nice to see you. I'll try to get some photos up soon.

3:08 am

bye you two see you soon xx have good days xx

3:09 am

You too,, worzel.

3:36 am

May I please have a clue for al6-30? Thanks

3:37 am

Haven't got that one yet xx Good morning peach xx

3:37 am

Is Soodle still here? I wanted to say "Hi".

3:37 am

Good morning, worzel. You doing alright tonight?

3:38 am

Not so bad, still in bed recovering from an op, but this game really keeps me going! Half way through, and only been playing about 30 mins - being as I'm quite bad at this game I think that's good going lol. How are you? xx

3:40 am

I'm dealing with the cold weather....my joints just don't like it. Otherwise, I'm OK. How long do you think you will have to stay quiet for the recovery?

3:42 am

To be fair I've had a gangrenpous appendix removed - about 2 weeks ago. Been up and about on the odd occasion but still got a bit of discomfort. Got an open wound because they had to go in via my tummy which was poisoned and have an open wound but should be perfect within next 6 weeks, fingers crossed. Hope the cold isn't too bad for you xx

3:45 am

haha you've got me going now - can't stop looking for the flipping al6/30!!!!

3:46 am

Oh, my dear! What a bummer. But you got there in time and that is what matters. I had mine removed when I had the hysterectomy.....doctor asked if I'd ever had an attack and I said "no"....he then said mine was scarred so I had to have had an attack at some time. I'm so glad you are on your way to good health.

3:46 am

tyvm peach. What part of US are you in? Im in northern UK x

3:47 am

I live in Augusta, GA....about 3 hours south of Atlanta.

3:47 am

GA is Georgia isn't it?

3:48 am

I think that al6 may start with alk.....I'm looking at the dictionary. Oh, yes, it is Georgia.

3:50 am

See, my knowledge of US areas is quite poor - I thought Georgia was always warm lol. Always think of South US as warm, but I guess all areas have their cold spells. Have only been to Florida and NY both in summertime. Would love to visit Georgia though - and Texas, and, obviously, do the whole Route 66 thing (before i get too old!!)

3:52 am

worsel, it really isn't all that cold now.....supposed to freeze tonight, but usually it doesn't get as cold as New England. I lived in the north for 7 years and thought I'd never get through the first winter....am so glad to be back south.

3:54 am

Peach you are correct with what the first three AL6 start with then add i am not dead but still ***ve.

3:54 am

We never seem to get it too bad in UK either, usually around end of December through to end of March we have a winter of sorts - usually around zero at night, bit of snow on occasion, some frosts, but nothing compared to some countries - but still we moan lol.

3:55 am

Then single plural for AL7...then add double pural for the AL9

3:55 am

Oh, thanks so much, zoozaoom.

3:55 am

oh good grief thanks zoo lol that is SUCH an obvious word, too!!!!

3:56 am

You are welcome :-)

3:56 am

worsel, zoozzoom just gave us the clues. Do you have them?

3:56 am

Although it is thanks to you twoo as wel...as i did not look for it untill you asked for it..lol

3:57 am

yea just spotted clues and got answers lol. I'll see u all in about 10 mins - off to make cup of tea xx have fun and behave!! xx

3:57 am

Just made my cup of tea *Sllllurrrp* Ahh!

3:58 am

Tea just seems to make things better, doesn't it?

3:59 am

Sure does, Peach, It sure does :-)

4:01 am

good morning everybody

4:01 am

gloomy and cold

4:01 am

Hello, Ruby :-)

4:01 am

Good morning, Ruby.

4:01 am

Blue sky but chilly 6.2c at the moment.

4:02 am

at least the studio is warm

4:02 am

That is good to hear, Ruby :-)

4:03 am

how cold does it get at night, zzoozz. Here it is about 4C at 11PM when I take the pups out

4:03 am

It is about the same, Ruby, so not too bad.

4:04 am

Although i do hate the cold weather with a passion :-)

4:05 am

there are still many flowers

4:06 am

back again, cuppa by bedside!

4:06 am

My fuchsias still have many flowers on them.

4:07 am

Any biscuits to go with it, Worzel :-)

4:08 am

No Zoo, may have some toast and Marmite in a bit. We have quite cold weather here in Liverpool, too but still loads of flowers in the garden! We even have a tomato plant growing!!

4:08 am

hi worzel, sorry to hear about your appendix but glad that it was caught in time

4:08 am

Hi Ruby and ty. Yes, I was in pain for abt 4 days centre of my tummy - I thought it was trapped wind. I guess I was lucky really

4:09 am

OMG! i love marmite on buttered toast yum yum.

4:09 am

Wow, zooz, they surely are hardy.

4:09 am

I'll send some toast and Marmite over to you zoo lol

4:10 am

Have been lucky so far, Peach, No frost..when that happens that will be the end of them..i bought about 20 plants this year some are hardy and others are not..i cannot remember which ones are the hardy ones..lol

4:11 am

Teehee cheers, Worzel..although it would be easier for me just to make my own..lol

4:12 am

Zoo I was checking the Liverpool weather online last night - apparently next Wednesday the daytime high will be 5 degrees!!! Yikes, here comes winter!!!

4:12 am

I think the ones with the extra large flower heads are the non hardy ones.

4:13 am

Not god news...i hope it does not sink down to here..lol

4:13 am

good*

4:13 am

what part you in zoo?

4:13 am

do you have te Gulf Stream near you zzoozz?

4:13 am

It is on my icon, Worzel, But it is the Isle of Wight.

4:14 am

Better get your woolies out for sure.

4:14 am

Yes, Ruby, Thats what stops us getting extreme cold weather.

4:14 am

zooz, is that where the Bee-Gees lived?

4:14 am

yeah sorry Zoo just checked that. Went to the IOW when I was 5 during the heatwave of 76 and again in 2003 (another hot summer). It is SO beautiful there I just didn't want to come home!

4:15 am

we are at the mercy of the mountains

4:15 am

76 wow i remember that heatwave...i was a teenager then..and lived in Oxford at that time too.

4:16 am

Not been to Oxford - been to Thame, nearby. Another beautiful part of UK. Id love to see the scenery around the world, but we are blessed in the UK if we did but know it!!

4:17 am

I remember you saying, Ruby, Must always be cold in the winter up there..i recall you saying there is snow lying above you further up the mountains too..yuk.

4:17 am

but it's much warmer and there's much less snow than 15 yrs ago when we moved here

4:18 am

I think one of the Bee Es does live in or near Oxford, Yes, Peach, i am sure of it.

4:19 am

Gees..bloody keypad.

4:19 am

Zoo you're talking about Robin - that was why I went to Thame as I knew him and was visiting him and his wife Dwina!!

4:20 am

Barry is the only one left.....he is still touring....has a home in Florida too. I really admire him.....it has been so rough for him.

4:20 am

Yes that's right, Worzel, wow did not know you knew them.

4:21 am

one of the bee gees lived next to my husband in Miami Beach before we were married, but he had never heard of them!!

4:22 am

I agree, Peach, it does not seem that long ago when they al started out...i do not remember that bit as i am too young..but time does fly by too quickly.

4:22 am

Well, I didn't know them all, but was in Thame many years ago and walked past this beautiful house and Robin was in the garden. Have been a fan all my life and couldn't help but stop and talk and he invited me in for a cup of tea! We exchanged xmas cards each year and I asked if i could visit him again one day and he invited me around! A beautiful man, very sadly missed

4:22 am

that is a lovely story, worzel

4:23 am

I've really enjoyed chatting with you all, but I need to try to get some sleep. It's 5:30AM here. Hope to see you all again later in the day.

4:23 am

4:23 am

Hope you have a sweet sleep, Peach, Nice chatting to you too :-)

5:34 am

thanks crosshair

5:35 am

getting closer then

5:40 am

there we go.pictures of my better half are on my facebook wall for all those who wish to see her

6:02 am

hi all

6:05 am

Good day to all.

6:06 am

hi scrab

6:07 am

Hi joso. I was in Canada 2 weeks ago, hiking in the Niagara Gorge and then lunch at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

6:09 am

nice area to be in

6:10 am

I honeymooned at Niagara on the lake

6:10 am

Yes, we hiked right down to the river, and we were just north of the falls, and it was stunning.

6:13 am

they are something to see

6:16 am

TK lives in the area, I wonder if the views are ho hum to her

6:17 am

I live outside of Buffalo and grew up here. EVERY time I see the Falls I am amazed. In fact, I am more interested in the geology and history more now.

6:24 am

I find our history kind of dull. war of 1812 was really small potatoes, the revolutionary war almost a comedy of errors, 90% by the British. your civil war is interesting, but kind of done to death. WW I & II are interesting, but fought elsewhere. I'd like to know more about the native history, but available information is so sketchy

6:25 am

long stretches of peace make a great place to live, but a dull story

6:25 am

I work at a Seneca Nation Health Center one day weekly and have learned a lot. It is like going on a field trip every week when I go to the reservation.

6:26 am

Some folks here have relatives at the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario.

6:28 am

I would love to know more about the six nations federation and how it worked, but the most detailed info is about their dealings with Europeans, and it's a depressing story.

6:30 am

Yes, the Native North Americans were certainly squashed by invading Europeans.

6:30 am

And I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:31 am

and they often worked with us, only to be betrayed latter on, so sad.

6:31 am

have a good day scrab

6:33 am

joso,one of our babbler,carlee,specialized in first nation culture and history as part of the teaching degree she just finished.you should chat with her sometime

6:52 am

but always remember.history is often skewed as it is almost always written by the victors :(

6:59 am

true, and there is more to history than just the wars. but if you look at the Napoleonic wars you can determine what each nation was doing and why, but you look at the Aztecs and the details are lost.

wow aquick grid so far, not even 290minutes and i have 182.

7:01 am

good morning all

7:02 am

so a bit more than half in a bit less than 5 hours

7:09 am

all those grouping are words related to each other as you might suspect.

7:11 am

got the WA combo

food without carne is not a word?

7:11 am

I still claim that format6/30 + le4/4 is totally a word

7:11 am

you may be right, makes no difference to enable

I guess a grid with so many words that enable will disallow whatever it will

7:12 am

enable does what enable wants to do

7:13 am

adios all, happy babbling *poof*

7:14 am

hagd joso

7:14 am

bye joso

7:14 am

and yes, kaplan, I think the food without carne is totally a word

yeah, but it would have to have enough e's. It doesn't

7:29 am

hah, that's right

7:30 am

now I'm getting crosseyed

I realize after careful examination of the grid

7:33 am

hi all. any clue for the 10?

7:34 am

hi all, back for the last few

7:34 am

7:36 am

7:38 am

Use same first 5 letters

7:38 am

hi haz

7:39 am

7:39 am

Hello, nice size of grid today.

7:39 am

Haz, just wanted you to know that Zoe-Anne went to Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

7:39 am

it certainly is.

7:39 am

another 9 after the 10

7:39 am

Oh, I'm sorry, peri. It must have been hard for you.

7:40 am

it was but I could see that she was suffering.

7:40 am

Well, for most people that is the signal that the time has come to let go.

7:42 am

fireflies. Bye all. *hugs* for peri.

7:42 am

Congratulations, sprite.

7:42 am

almost half way guys.

7:46 am

congrats sprite

7:47 am

oh peri, i was afraid that would be what would happen based on what you said. i'm so sorry for your loss. *hugs*

7:47 am

thanks,hurshy. I am missing her terribly.

7:48 am

i can imagine

7:48 am

I'm really sorry, peri. Take care of yourself.

7:50 am

on the other end of the spectrum, one of my friends is in labor now - she was supposed to be induced starting about an hour and 20 mins ago

7:50 am

bl

7:51 am

(((peri)))

7:52 am

good luck to your friend, hurshy!

7:52 am

how does it go? in the midst of life, we are in death

7:53 am

thanks mael. i hope it goes well. i just looked up to see and found a study saying that induced labors take much longer on average. :(

7:57 am

why are they inducing her? is she overdue or is there another medical reason?

7:58 am

she was only due 8 days ago so *i* think that wouldn't be enough reason but modern doctors... but then i guess also she started having contractions last night, and i don't know if they aren't progressing, or what. or maybe they started after the decision to induce and maybe that will mean they don't have to do as much to her after all. guess i'll find out after it is over.

8:01 am

I'm mostly curious cause it's my turn in four months and change and labor fr6/39 me out :)

8:01 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - time to go out for the morning - BBL this afternoon

8:02 am

well, me, for someone who hasn't had kids and doesn't really plan to, i've actually read a lot about it. and the US doesn't have the best track record. so i have read about what the better ones do differently and so forth (europe). and it seems to me that if i were having a baby i would insist upon not being messed with before 2 weeks overdue.

8:03 am

i mean unless something was like, really wrong with the baby or something and they had to get it out. but not in a like, hey, why isn't it out yet situation.

8:04 am

in most normal situations seems like midwives are really a better way to go than doctors. doctors overreact and overtreat.

8:04 am

I agree with you, hurshy.

8:04 am

mael, just talk with your ob and have a birth plan.

8:05 am

I plan too, I'm just not the kind of person who deals very well with uncontrollable situations. Welcome to parenthood for me, I guess! ;)

8:06 am

i have one friend with 4 daughters who says her "birth plans" all went out the window, so yeah, uncontrollable is the name of the game

8:07 am

I was just going to say, have a birth plan but be prepared to be adaptable according to circumstances.

8:07 am

As a parent, you will get better with dealing with uncontrollable situations.

hi haz!

8:08 am

oh yeah, definitely no plans to stick to "the plan," as long as baby shows up safe I'll be okay with them doing whatever they need to do.

8:08 am

Hello, TO!

8:08 am

My daughter's birth plan was very simple.

i am having a new roof, and here i sit on the second floor with banging and footsteps.

8:09 am

but mael, also know that my sister had a plan and it went beautifully according to plan, had very short labors, including the first, after which she said, "i've had headaches worse than that!" - so, you may get that!

oh, conrats mael and hoping it goes as you plan.

8:12 am

ps no, she's not even a migraine sufferer

8:13 am

Why is every word I am entering already entered? Too many words hiding in this one.

8:13 am

but yay for a big grid!

8:15 am

thanks, TO! we're excited

8:15 am

do you know if it is a boy or a girl?

8:18 am

8:21 am

I can imagine, TO, if you're getting a new roof on.

8:21 am

what kind of roof is it

well, ingeneral. not today.today is a piece of cake comparatively. and the roof is a one day job,small house.

a black rood,architectural shingles. normal stuff

8:22 am

i have a secret desire to live in a house with a non-normal roof.

8:23 am

spanish tile, or thatch!

8:23 am

Good morning, loves. How is everyone?

why haz - don't you live in a little fairy cottage with a thatched roof?

8:23 am

There's a fabulous house near here, modern, but with a thatched roof. It's spectacular.

8:23 am

sod ... so you grow veggies too

8:24 am

we vary, judi. peri had to put her cat to sleep yesterday :(

8:24 am

oh yeah, an underground house would be GREAT - so efficient energy wise - warm in winter cool in summer so easily

8:24 am

Oh, sad news, Peri. (((((hugs)))))

8:24 am

No, my cottage is distinctly not thatched, nor is it really a cottage. Newly thatched looks wonderful.

oops - they are really ba ning around now. must go check knick knack shelf

oops - they are really ba ning around now. must go check knick knack shelf

8:31 am

hurshy, re: boy or girl, we're waiting for the surprise? :)

8:32 am

Good for you, mael.

8:33 am

also it'll stop my in laws from buying me oceans of pink and blue stuff preemptively. I can do nothing after baby is born, but I can try to mitigate it before hand :)

8:34 am

well if you pick colors, and say, these are the colors, won't that also? like, we're going with yellow and red, no matter what, or whatever.

8:34 am

Must get back to my chores...bbl...pfft!

8:34 am

tr + a bactrian c****; pl

8:35 am

nope, that would be magical. But my mother in law is a PINK AND PURPLE ONLY for girls kind of person, so it'll be a fight

8:35 am

Which reminds me... IT'S HUMP DAY!

8:36 am

o-o, sometimes I surprise myself. I knew what a bactrian c**** was. haha.

8:38 am

that is annoying, mael. re: m-i-l.

8:39 am

Haz, has hubby ever administered to a bactrian?

8:39 am

mael, let the child wear pink with a blue cap or vice versa--confuse everybody. My first was a student midwife in England, perfect delivery. 2nd was charity at Boston Lying in, they knocked me out and I never knew what happened. I think forceps--but she was fine. third, Grace New Haven, natural, no anasthetic. Fine. Fourth, cleveland, no anesthetic, fine. All girls, all fine. All beautiful. And I felt great afterward--could do it all over again right away had I had to!

8:39 am

Not as far as I know.

8:40 am

The vets do sweat a bit when the circus is in town lest they be called upon to visit a poorly elephant or something.

8:41 am

And he is booked again to examine Santa's reindeer when they come to town. They have to be examined before they're sent back to Scotland having done their tour of the local town centres.

8:42 am

Gotta get to work. I'm birthing books these days, harder work. Grid too big and tempting. Peri, my cats lived to 21, but what a wrench to lose them. So, sorrow.

8:42 am

Wow. Impressive.

8:43 am

It's basically to make sure that they're healthy for travelling.

8:45 am

and mael, once they're here, it's predictably unpredictable from then on. Even when they're adults!!

8:46 am

really getting to work now. babble is too tempting. poof.

8:48 am

o-o need more help on the tr 8 clue please

8:49 am

form

8:50 am

yay Roundbarn, congrats on your girls!

8:51 am

and I will definitely buy gender-opposite stuff for my kid, I'm contrary and stubborn like that :)

8:56 am

you do have to watch those elephants. i read about a man who DIED after a constipated elephant who had been treated finally ... let it go ... and he suffocated in the dung. NOT anyone's choice of how to die.

8:57 am

No, that would have to be the understatement of the year.

8:58 am

i mean i love elephants and all but...

8:58 am

Baby elephants are delightful.

8:58 am

they are cute, aren't they?!

8:59 am

They really are. We saw lots in Kenya and Tanzania and they are so endearing.

5:55 pm

Usual*

5:57 pm

Hello crossy. Just finishing Babble for today. 42 left but I got a bunch of words and was able to use the wonderful endings to flesh out the li**.

5:57 pm

However, i must say that theseasus tablets render babble very well

5:58 pm

Howdy, stidmere:-D

5:58 pm

Asus tablets*

5:59 pm

Hi all. Rough, rough day. Don't want to discuss it. Just happy to be here mindlessly babbling along

5:59 pm

Hello, everyone! I had to make an emergency trip to my cardiologist...I am officially back in afib and was out of breath just walking from couch to kitchen and feeling like I was going to pass out even sitting. So....back on medications...unhappy...but alive.

6:00 pm

I worked a little on transferring written music to my ipad so I can use it for orchestra. Everytime I use the scan, load, etc program I learn more (that means I make lots of mistakes.)

6:00 pm

Do or take whatever you need to. Don't fight it. Just feel better

6:00 pm

Good for you mimicat. Glad you took care of yourself!!

6:00 pm

♪♪♪stid!

6:01 pm

Well,welcome,gramma and forget that rough day,slip into your jammies and pour a tea or something stronger and let you mind and body relax

6:01 pm

We try to keep up quality of life, mimi.

6:01 pm

BRB carry on

6:01 pm

Oh, MimiCat, I'm so sorry to hear that.

6:01 pm

(Mimi)

6:01 pm

He said I'd be risking a stroke if it continued, so must take the dreaded medications.

6:01 pm

I shall wander off now and be back tomorrow to catch up on your news and reflections. Au revoir.

6:02 pm

((crossy)) We're both not our best today!

6:02 pm

Bye, stid..have a good evening.

6:02 pm

Plese do not skip any meds,mimi

6:03 pm

He had taken me off several and I kind of gradually stopped a couple more. Guess I can't do that again.

6:03 pm

I hope it can be as painless as possible for you.

6:03 pm

With my twisted brain, all I could envision was me having a stroke, dying and my 3 cats having to eat me!! Yeah...like I said...twisted.

6:04 pm

Thanks, Volta, dear. It doesn't really hurt at this stage but it's very disconcerting to literally feel your heart pounding in your chest and feeling like you may lose consciousness at any time.

6:05 pm

Only stop meds if dr says.bad mimi:-(

6:05 pm

That sounds like a horrible feeling :-( *hug* let's all keep our fingers crossed for the best possible outcome

6:06 pm

This one he put me back one is one he said was OK for me to stop and it makes me dizzy....hate that. Well, now I know I must keep taking these.

6:06 pm

I want you in here for many more years mimi

6:07 pm

Thank you, crossy, dear...that goes both ways.

6:10 pm

et

6:10 pm

Thought I could hang in here a bit longer but the meds are making me very tired and a bit sleepy, so leaving for tonight. Hugs all around.

6:11 pm

Have a good rest, (((mimi)))

6:12 pm

Good morning all :)

6:12 pm

Howdy,liz

6:13 pm

Sorry to have missed Mimi and to read that she's not feeling too well. Wish you better Mimi - just in case you're still there.

6:14 pm

((Liz)) appreciate it. Now I'm gone...poof!

6:14 pm

Hugs Mimi

6:14 pm

hody dody crossy

6:14 pm

Liz,i am told that the ausse flag and the taz flag differ by just a single star. Do we have a taz player in babble?

6:14 pm

Howdy,joso

6:15 pm

hi liz

6:15 pm

Not the Taz flag. Taz is part of Aus. The NZ flag doesn't have the commonwealth star under the Union Flag and its stars are red, not white. See! I remember something from my citizenship test last Jan!!!

6:15 pm

Hi Joso

6:16 pm

Ahh.ty for clarification.was curious

6:16 pm

it's ausy and kiwi flags crossy, the star under the union jack is missing on the new zeland flag

6:16 pm

NP

6:17 pm

Ah.ok.got it

6:17 pm

And apparently the Tassies are like the Newfies!

6:17 pm

Or so they say!

6:17 pm

We love our newfies

6:18 pm

I know that - otherwise there wouldn't be the humour!

6:18 pm

Salt of the earth tey are.would give you the shirt off their ownbacks

6:18 pm

If they were wearing one!

6:20 pm

20 words left here and getting frustrated cos I know I'm missing a really simple one here!

6:20 pm

happy to clue if you wish liz

6:20 pm

Well,with just 20 togo,i would list

6:21 pm

Perhaps! I might come back to it. I have just listed. That's how I know it's a simple one I'm missing! I've enjoyed this grid so far.

6:22 pm

How many times though, have I tried words with 2 x e in them!

6:23 pm

1 left tm? Bueller? Bueller?

6:23 pm

nm got itr

6:23 pm

I found i desperately wanted an e beside the k

6:24 pm

Yes - and the other side of the m.

6:24 pm

congrats gramma

6:24 pm

oh wait... no I didn't. I thought I was so clever.

6:24 pm

Okay. Now I did get it

6:25 pm

So congrats again!

6:25 pm

6:27 pm

G'nite all.

6:28 pm

Sleep well

6:29 pm

g'nite gramma

6:36 pm

and it is now time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!

6:36 pm

In 1726, Mary Toft convinced British doctors that she was giving birth to rabbits.

6:36 pm

Explain!

6:37 pm

maybe she had a wild hare :D

6:37 pm

look it up

6:37 pm

hi folks!

6:37 pm

I will - after I've got my final 7 words.

6:37 pm

Hi welki :)

6:39 pm

6:45 pm

That pic has made a lot of people happy - so good to put faces to names.

6:45 pm

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

You were always the gentleman, Crossy.

7:26 pm

291 done.

7:28 pm

This has been a fun grid so far.

7:30 pm

the big ones are always fun, until the end

7:32 pm

This grid is raising questions for me. Like is a pr6,24 like a fo7,44?

7:32 pm

kr6?

7:32 pm

the only other woman's hand i have ever kissed would of been my own mothers and that was when i last saw her in 1972 and she passed in 1991 just before she could meet my future wife.

7:32 pm

ahh,remenising...

7:49 pm

Thanks so much, joso and dan.

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

I just always feel so stupid when I get something so obvious. Thanks, guys.

7:50 pm

also ends like the previous clues

7:51 pm

thanks

7:51 pm

It could be a synonym for pr6 but it isn't

7:52 pm

it is just babble blindness,gapeach. nothing to worry about.we all get the tougher words and the easy ones just sail right on by

7:53 pm

Indeed, crossy.

7:53 pm

i'd like to get half way before dinner...sigh

7:53 pm

Fireworks

8:00 pm

lol.. bet that's true

8:01 pm

Congrats, wht!!!!!!

8:01 pm

lol,that is funny.i am so far from a math teacher that it takes the light from a math teacher 2 years just to get to me; besides i have learned to love to sonic boom sound of a math question as it passes by me

8:01 pm

congrats wht

8:01 pm

as it passes over my head*

8:03 pm

yaa for wht!!

8:04 pm

FW: last word was first ar5,10 - I feel like one.

8:05 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

Hi there, Min.

8:05 pm

8:06 pm

tm+ vowel+ not brother

8:06 pm

hi min

8:06 pm

it ends with the oppsiti of bro, miliss

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

Gave up after finding 201 words. Wanted to say hi and bye

8:08 pm

te5-10 the 3rd please.....thanks

8:09 pm

:))

8:09 pm

not to the t's yet ga sorry

8:09 pm

te5, the electricity scientist

8:09 pm

It's the scientist who has an electrical coil named after him, gapeach. Nicolai Te.

8:10 pm

ty

8:11 pm

Thanks much, joso and melissamay.

8:12 pm

:)

8:12 pm

the more you read about him,the more you learn how much credit was taken from him

8:12 pm

it was just that Edison was better at marketing

8:13 pm

re6-18 the 3rd please....thanks

8:13 pm

the last si6?

8:13 pm

It really is a sad story. I'm glad history caught up with him!

8:14 pm

It is like to go to court again but drop the next to last vowel

8:14 pm

yes, better inventor than Edison, who was no slouch, but not the businessman Edison was.

8:14 pm

si6,18 would that be the gansta's female sibling?

8:15 pm

yes,edison was better shmoozing with people,the press and selling the whole idea of it all

8:15 pm

si s/18 is female sibling + cross letter + egyptian sun god.

8:15 pm

si6, not bro + *** la la

8:16 pm

thanks!

8:16 pm

i still love the old spark gap lighting that was te5,s specialty and was still used in large factories even into the late 30,s and early 40,s

8:18 pm

True, it's quite beautiful. I've only seen them in science museums.

8:19 pm

they were quite practical for the time

8:19 pm

154 to go, i can take a break now!

8:19 pm

thanks for the help

8:20 pm

and his coils are still required for a good Frankenstein set.

8:20 pm

u imagine your child playing around a spark-gap light??!!

8:20 pm

Thanks harpjane for your help too! :)

8:21 pm

yes,his coils are all most people remember of him now:(

8:22 pm

wht, I am having a hard time seeing the re6-18 the 3rd, can you dumb it down for me? Thanks

8:22 pm

but ac electricity is his biggest contribution, so ubiquitous that we just take it for granted.

8:24 pm

re6, re + *** *a la

8:24 pm

Gapeach, think 5 letter word meaning vintage, but the last two letters are Mr. Gore's first name.

8:24 pm

re + do you remember Mark ***i*'s comic strip in the Sunday paper? It was about nature.

al 6-7-8-9-pls?

8:25 pm

Thanks much, wht, joso and melissamay/

8:30 pm

Good night peach

night,peachy

8:32 pm

g'night peach

hmm i've foundout that one must type in the words, it'snot enough to find them and THINK them into the game, apparently. ever look at a word you swearyou entered?

8:37 pm

lol, yes. especially plurals

i swear it was at least four of them tonight

speech reconigtion capability would be great for babble!

8:41 pm

Thought recognition is what it needs.

8:41 pm

one of the things I love about lickety, don't have to go over every word looking for all the times I've typed in cat but only thought cats. they stand out like a sore thumb.

well, one can dream. i played today as if it were reality

8:42 pm

I am always amazed at how many plurals I have missed when I finally bring up Lickety.

8:43 pm

what I think would be cool is if words typed in chat were tested for the grid. open up the occasional accidental find.

8:44 pm

Some people will do anything to stay out of the PB. :^)

8:44 pm

:)

8:45 pm

yes PB becomes lucky bonus time

you know yo have been babbling too long when you see stats for tm and type it right in

8:46 pm

I noticed that too, TO.

heh, their is a slowing toward the end

10:29 pm

i still have a vazillion s's

10:30 pm

a vazillion, that sounds like a lot

10:30 pm

it seems like a lot

10:47 pm

vazillion is more than a bizillion I guess

10:51 pm

these things are too random, azillion should be smallest of the huge amounts, bizillion next, cazillion... in which case vazillion is really up there

10:52 pm

hi all... it's a big one and i don't have much time to do it!

10:52 pm

i should go to bed soon... i'm travelling a lot tomorrow!

10:53 pm
