LOL... I checked... I did do that a couple of times accidentally

I agree, jili... wonder why.

1:08 am

so glad to help LOL

1:08 am

I freely admit I cheated on one word :D

too funny

1:09 am

I got tired of trying to find it :D

1:09 am

I think I "willed" it and you conformed

LOL... be careful then what you "will"

1:10 am

HA HA

1:10 am

there is no cheating in this game

1:10 am

ty dee for a lost

1:11 am

hubby took us all out to dinner tonight... had a great filet with a bleu cheese sauce and garlic mashed potatoes...

yqw jili

1:11 am

oh.. that sounds good dee

1:11 am

I Made Pork chops and seared butternut squash puree with maple carrots

1:12 am

There is a Stilton cheese -- a blue one -- I'm afraid I hate it.

mu 4 x 2 nan

1:12 am

not with Chateau D'Yquem jilli

1:13 am

ty dee

1:13 am

I can fix that for you

I wasn't sure about it, but with the filet it was really nice

1:13 am

with anything, ru.

yw

1:13 am

I have very few dislikes, but blue cheeses, ugh.

1:13 am

I love blue cheese.. on beat salads and fresh pear salads

1:13 am

beet

I bet it would be really good with pears

1:14 am

spinach, bosc pears and blue cheese ummmo

speaking of pears, our daughter made a sangria for Fri night that had pears and apples in it... brandy, wine, apple cider, club, soda... really good

1:15 am

wow.. I haven't had sangria since high school

1:16 am

that was also the last time I flamenco-danced :D

I had never had homemade sangria before LOL

1:16 am

thanks for list Dee

1:17 am

I've been enjoying mixed fresh fruit salads soaked in brandy and topped with Greek yogurt.

1:17 am

hi flosey

yqw, flosey, great community effort :)

that sounds, good, jili

1:17 am

that is delish jilli.. I do that all the time too

1:17 am

I used raspberry brandy

1:17 am

use

1:18 am

I had sangria in Menorca, yum (1968)

1:18 am

goddarn spell check

peach brandy might be good, too

1:18 am

that's when I was drinking mine in high school jilli :D

1:18 am

I only had straight brandy available

1:19 am

ah, kindred spirits, ru (pun deliberate)

1:20 am

I'm rubbing off on you now :D

1:21 am

someone has to carry the Pun torch here after I'm gone

1:22 am

I'll be gone before you, ru

Well, I am off til the flip. Have a great eve/ day all

1:22 am

bye dee

1:22 am

I certainly hope not jilli

1:22 am

dee, before you disappear, i probably won't be here tomorrow.

*poofing with hugs* thanks again, ru, for the help. Getting ready for surgery, rose?

1:23 am

best of luck granny.. I hope Don takes good care of you

1:23 am

yes, dear. in about 19 hours i will be on the table.

1:23 am

I hope so, ru! You're a babe in arms -- well, a boy babe

1:24 am

sorry jilli.. my babe days are way behind me :D

I am sure you cannot wait to get this all behind you. How long will the surgery be?

1:24 am

ruru, this time SIL is running around after the MIL.

1:24 am

that's good.. keep her there

1:24 am

you need rest

1:24 am

deee, between 30 minutes and 3 hours, depends on what he finds.

fingers crossed for 30 minutes :)

1:25 am

mine are even farther behind me, ru

1:25 am

*sigh* absolutely...with all the prayers from the congregation how can it fail?

it will be a piece of cake :)

1:26 am

and with all of you rooting for me...

1:26 am

Jilli.. I wouldn't change one iota of you.. you are fabulous

1:27 am

flattery will get you everywhere, ru

1:27 am

we'll all be rooting for you GR.. and hope to hear from DOn

1:27 am

lol, yeah, we might even let him into ozland...

1:27 am

rose, that's for sure -- best of luck on Monday

1:27 am

it's absolutely true jilli.. you are an amazing woman

LOL

1:28 am

oh -- of course, your Monday is tomorrow, right?

1:28 am

have told him to log in at about this time.

1:28 am

great.. we'll all want to know you're ok

1:29 am

oh good, rose -- then he will tell us how things went?

1:29 am

i have to leave and put dylan to bed..

1:29 am

*giggle* he is usually quite taciturn, when writing...you may have to pry the information out of him.

1:29 am

bbl

1:30 am

I am the same way GR :D quiet, reserved, etc

1:30 am

yes, jilli. you will, however, have to ask him direct questions.

I'll be looking forward to hearing all the news :) (((rose)))

1:30 am

give dylan a snuggle from auntie jilli

1:30 am

yeah, right, ruru

1:30 am

1:32 am

..now you don't want to see it :D

1:32 am

got it, ty

1:32 am

I WILL NOT!!!

1:33 am

that was a un clue

1:33 am

I know, but my pants don't have the last three letters

1:33 am

nan, ze + not out

1:33 am

have in x2 - the other?

1:33 am

ruru's do...*grin*

1:33 am

oh.. really?

1:34 am

nbt

1:34 am

nan, iz4

1:34 am

I thought women's pants had zippers too

1:34 am

ty rose

1:34 am

mine have elastic waists because of my copious measurement

1:35 am

nah, ruru, the curlies get caught in them...we got more sense than men

1:35 am

OH. man>. I have to tie my fingers up

1:36 am

what??? jilli??? no elastic in the legs??? oh, dear, the mind pictures are torture

1:38 am

elastic in the legs? why would anyone have elastic in the legs of pants? What torture? <-- confused

1:39 am

not to let them all fall out jilli...don't know about you, but the belly and the boobies are all going south

1:40 am

speaking of legs, it seems I have some cellulitis in my right oen -- spent about 2½ hpurs in the ER this afternoon/evening getting diagnosed. On antibiotics now.

1:41 am

Boobies Like the birds?

1:41 am

awww, jilli. did they give you some tubigrip. a sort of elasticised bandage to help with drainage of fluid?

1:41 am

how about a clue for the fr8?

1:41 am

I have never seen that fr 8 before

1:42 am

and of course, you have your leg elevated, don't you dear?

1:42 am

no rose, just the antibiotics -- it's not very bothersome, just swelling and a bit of reness -- very early stage I guess.

1:42 am

more dowdy (I think)

1:42 am

alternative spelling of frowzy, then more so

1:42 am

fr (women in german with a different vowel) + more so ending with the big point tile

1:42 am

and they said nothing about elevating the leg.

1:43 am

aagghhh...jilli, please elevate, at least have your foot at the same height as your hip.

1:44 am

howdy all

1:44 am

hi jb

1:44 am

1:45 am

hi jbp

1:45 am

he hee

1:45 am

and ty ru -- nbs now too. If that fr8 had a w in it I would have known it -- really messy.

1:46 am

threw me for a loop too jilli.. i couldn't find it either

1:46 am

hey jbp

1:46 am

And I see this one is an enable spelling.

1:47 am

and i found it...all on my lonesome...

1:47 am

clever rose

1:47 am

lol...mind you i had click on the link to find out what it meant.

1:48 am

is there a weird 6 that begins with t, r, p or c?

1:50 am

ca6, add a vowel to gem weight?

1:50 am

pe6, past tense of calm

1:51 am

have c 6 x3, p6 x1, r 6 x1, pe 6

1:51 am

ra6, dangerous element. re6, past tense of to gather in crops

1:51 am

1:52 am

g'day jack

2:27 am

Hi rose, getting ready?

2:27 am

yup...bag packed except for meds and toiletries. how are you, dear?

2:28 am

I'm fine. A bit sore after walking a half marathoon today. But can't complain - totally self-inflicted

2:29 am

Will be thinking of you tomorrow

2:29 am

yay, you, jack...was it in a good cause, or are you trying to prove a point?

2:30 am

ummm, that didn't come out right.

2:30 am

No points, apart from trying to beat my own times. Have done 9 now and walk with a friend so it's fun. Gives me something to keep fit for

2:31 am

*hoping jack gets the thought behind the question *

2:31 am

Absolutely

2:31 am

good morning kiddoes... out with it, who if you shrunk our babble today?

2:31 am

lolol..... thank goodness

2:32 am

not me....

2:32 am

Might be small sprite, but a challenge nonetheless!

2:32 am

{{hugs}} spritey...so glad you had such a lovely sleep-in yesterday

2:33 am

*hugs rose* Hi sweetie, did you get my email? Hope you are feeling a little better now.

2:33 am

Morning Sprite

2:33 am

hi Jack, thank goodness for that!

2:33 am

hi pugs *hugs* How are you and your sister doing?

2:33 am

yes, i did, sprite....and heerrreee's puglet. xoxox dear

2:34 am

sister is fine and Iam nursing a headache for the time

2:35 am

uugghh, poor pugs. hope meds kick in soon.

2:35 am

aw sweetie, darn it. So sorry you have to battle those headaches so often. *very gentle healing vibes coming your way*

2:35 am

Rose, Ive been on for quite awhile and I greeted everyone but you all were into the grid so I didnt but in-lol

2:35 am

thanks guys

2:36 am

Have you tried the toe flicks puglet?

2:36 am

oohhh, btw...MIL's bowels have performed twice today...she's still nauseated and not eating...but it would seem she is on the move, so to speak.

2:36 am

missed you yesterday Sprite--everything okay? Your daughter isnt worse is she

2:36 am

we WANT you to butt in, silly

2:37 am

my daughter is about the same, thanks pug. I slept in yesterday... evil, huh :)

2:37 am

No havent heard of that Jack------thats good news Rose

2:37 am

awww. my beautiful pugs...i do so hope i didn't miss your log in.

2:38 am

its no biggie Rose---you guys were cluing and were busy

2:40 am

ah, that is very good, rose. She still in hospital?

2:41 am

no its not evil taking some me time Sprite--you must of needed it--so do you feel better

2:41 am

Haven't tried myself but heard about flicking the underside of big toe to relieve migraine. here's a reflexology link. Might be worth a try ... http://www.wholesomeone.com/article/re\nflex-points-migraine-relief

2:41 am

I do, pug! Missed seeing you guys, but the sleep was lovely and I do have more energy now.

2:42 am

did you go to service today Rose

2:42 am

yes, sprite...and SIL is still running around after her. meanwhile don and i have changed her bed linen and washed everything i couls lay my hands on.

2:42 am

Reflexology is a smart move for migraines. Can't have anyone touch the head, but the feet are usually ok.

2:42 am

I will give it a look Jack--thanks

2:43 am

you worked way too hard, rose, but I am glad she is still in hospital and SIL got the freakin' message. How are you holding up?

2:43 am

pugs, first sunday of advent. was lovely. we lit the first advent candle.

2:43 am

yw, not fun ...

2:44 am

Jack, maybe for future reference... if you post a long URL in chat, the chat column becomes too wide. Maybe if you wouldn't mind, you could make it smaller with TinyURL or something like that, next time?

2:44 am

how long does advent last

2:44 am

oh my, are we into the advent already? Xmas coming up, sigh.

2:45 am

til christmas, pugs

2:45 am

Sure, sorry

2:45 am

np Jack, just maybe for future occasions :)

2:47 am

*giggle* posted my overseas cards and others on friday. * sigh * at least that's done* have discussed christmas with don...he doesn't think chrissy at the SIL's is a good idea. let's me off the hook.

2:48 am

yayyyyy rose! Very nice. And very smart of Don. So you guys planning a nice quiet home Xmas? Xmas eve will be fun this year :)

2:48 am

only a few gifts left to buy...which don can do without me...

2:48 am

Back again. Hi sprite :)

2:49 am

hi all, just woke - fell asleep sitting here, no idea how long I have been out

2:49 am

hi Liz, hi flosey! *hugs*

2:49 am

lol poor flosey... aren't you sore and cold?

2:49 am

yay, sprite...yes, christmas a quiet one with just the 2 of us. boxing day is the big one

2:49 am

no, just a bit dazed

2:50 am

ahhh poor Flosey! at least you didnt fall over-lol

2:50 am

Aw flosey! Go join your hubby :)

2:50 am

awww, flosey...crawl into bed, my dear.

2:51 am

Lol sprite. Poor flosey

2:51 am

usually not, in weekends, Liz. He is busy playing soccer.

2:51 am

btw, took on the full duties as matriarch of this family. my bro's birthday the 1st december. i rang him to wish him a happy birthday.

2:52 am

Often turns up Monday morning.

2:52 am

wowwww rose. You totally rock. *hugs*

2:52 am

liz, list in volleymomdee's profile

2:52 am

ah good, Liz. Didn't know that.

2:52 am

Wow Rose. With everything else to think of.

2:53 am

i am guessing i need to confirm all the family birthdays. and buy the cards to send...

2:53 am

Yes but that's harder when I use my iPad, which I am now. Feeling lazy after very late night last night!

2:53 am

lazy is good, Liz, especially in weekends :)

2:54 am

rose, only if you want to. You decide. But it sounds like a fun job.

2:54 am

Have all birthdays in my computer, with different reminders depending on whether they're overseas or in Aus.

2:55 am

sprite, as matriarch * a description i really need to slap my cousin for * it is a necessary duty...

2:55 am

wow that is practical, Liz

2:55 am

actually, it only is if you decide you accept it, rose.

2:56 am

hmmmm, going to ask don how i do that. plenty of time over the next 6 weeks.

2:56 am

Necessary because especially now, some of the dates aren't high on my mind!

2:56 am

I think I am gonna do it too. Thanks Liz.

2:57 am

how is our pug? You are very quiet... are the meds starting to kick in or no joy?

2:57 am

sprite, don has lots of reminders on his computer calender.

2:57 am

Ya. I always check my computer, so it's a good system for me.

2:57 am

Iam not good on remembering dates at all

2:57 am

a bit I think

2:58 am

I think I can even find a proggy that does the work for me

2:58 am

I hope they will do more than a bit very soon, pug *hugs*

2:58 am

My computer is also synced with my iPad and phone so highly tech and a great system. Also use it for appointments.

2:59 am

i have a written calendar...but that relies on me checking it. at least on the computer i can have reminders a few days in advance.

2:59 am

thanks Sprite, Iam sure they will--its just a waiting game right now-lol

2:59 am

*gently holds pug's hand while waiting*

2:59 am

Exactly and once entered you tell the computer that the date recurs yearly. So don't have to redo it every year.

3:00 am

sounds like my kind of reminder...lolol

3:00 am

same here, rose. Ours is in the toilet. But I have to remember, after seeing the date and names, to take action when I go back to my room. I like the idea of the computerized calender.

3:02 am

My sister loves making cards and because Iam so bad at remembering dates, I had her make me a yearly card with all the holidays on it and b-days and ann.---I sent them out the first of the year and had it all covered in just one card--lol

3:02 am

Time for dinner soon so hugs to all. Feel better pugs, good luck tomorrow Rose.

4:12 am

nope, pugs...hanging in there for the long haul..

4:13 am

God be with you as I will Rose--hugs and love and will wait for your return to us

4:13 am

okay, we have 2 malfunctions on babble.

4:13 am

oh good then, I got my farewell in ahead of time then-lol

Liz are you on, its Jo!

4:14 am

I dont so far(knock on wood)

4:14 am

pugs, i am on the operating table in about 10 hours.

4:14 am

Just came back, Jo!

4:14 am

Pugs and Rose, Joodownunder is a good friend of mine. Told her about babble last night!

4:15 am

Its creeping closer and closer

okay so do I physically type the word in 'Add Word' or can you click on letters to make the words?

4:15 am

whoot, welcome joodownunder

4:15 am

Hi Jo, nice to meet you and to have you join us

4:15 am

Type the word into Add Word and then it will appear in the My word list.

G'day, nice to meet you too

4:16 am

Told you they were a friendly bunch!

Would be easier to just click on the yellow letters wouldn't it? Must've been a man who designed it!

Uh Oh, something else to spend my time doing when I should be ironing or scrubbing floors or something like!

4:16 am

jojo, i just type in the words, then hit enter

4:17 am

Good idea - but no, type in the word. Occasionally auto correct will find you a word you've missed too!

okay, I will give it a go Ladies

4:17 am

well you get to pratice typing and spelling--lol

4:17 am

Like I should've cleaned the house this morning but was too tired after last night!

any other tips

4:18 am

Usually Lickety provides a list - Look in the yellow box where it says Friends of Babble but he sometimes misses out at weekends. His list helps because it's alphabetical and shows where you've missed words.

Me too, good night hah? A late one for us! Just had a lovely night walk around, its so lovely tonight.

4:18 am

lol...exactly jojo...and when you realise you have no conscience re chores..you are a babble addict...and welcome to my world

I am already a words with friends addict on fb!

4:19 am

It was a really good night - so much laughter!

4:19 am

And I've also become an addict and made lots of good friends.

Yes, good food and good company.

How was the party in the park today Liz?

4:19 am

BTW Rose, I saw just before that you cleared up my relationship with Rolin! My hubby's ex!

4:19 am

My day is screwed up if I miss this and my chat with friends here in the morn--lol

What time is it there in USA Puglet?

4:20 am

Went on Thurs night Jo. It was OK - glad to be there but it needs revamping.

4:20 am

yeah, as pugs says...our chat here gives our lives a stability.

4:20 am

its 5:20 am

Do I have an Aussie flag next to my name too?

4:21 am

yup, liz...hope i didn't offend anyone.

5:20 am, oh gosh, you are an addict!

4:21 am

not yet jojo...

4:21 am

Ive been on since about 1:30am

4:21 am

Only other thing I'd mention Jo, is that there are often weird words in the grid, we call babblers. Only ever used in babble! It's based on a weird dictionary called enable - accepts abbreviations, hebrew letters often, Italian etc etc.

no flag for me? do I need to pass initiation with you girls first?

4:22 am

Course you didn't offend me, Rose. You should've asked if you weren't sure.

4:22 am

ohoh...didn't realise the time...going to get meds.

4:23 am

If you've paid the subscription Jo, you go into My account and personalise it with an icon (photo, cartoon or whatever) and choose your flag.

4:23 am

At the moment you just seen a grey icon and your name.

4:23 am

could I kindly have a clue for the ra6/27 please

okay, well my other half will be dropping hints if I am sat here too long so I am afraid my visits will be short and sweet .. do you play in between the chats then cos I have had no chance to play yet!

4:24 am

Sorry pugs - one of the 19 I don't have. Missing 5 x 6 letter words.

ra6/27, please explain to the newbie!

4:24 am

Yes, you get used to multi tasking.

4:25 am

6 letter word beginning with ra. Points value 27. 4 letters score straight, 5 letters x 2; 6 letters x 3 etc.

4:25 am

So ra 6 / 27 the face value of the tiles is 9.

4:25 am

sometimes I dont get a word for 30 minutes or so because of talking LOL

okay .. I think! so do you just type away until you find a word that fits? Is it an American game so do we have to adjust spelling?

4:26 am

Accepts UK and US spellings.

4:26 am

The tile stats at the bottom tell you how many words come from each letter.

4:26 am

are you girls neighbors

4:27 am

There's also a list in VolleyMomDee's profile, which you find in rankings.

4:27 am

Yes, pugs. Both of us live on the Gold Coast.

4:28 am

Dee finished the grid earlier tonight with help from others, and she's posted a list to help us. Not sure if you can access it unless you've paid the subscription.

whoa! some are real hot in the rankings!

Brits living on The Gold Coast though Liz!!

4:28 am

OK, so you've seen them! I've got to go - hubby calling. If you need more help, everyone here's really helpful. Or you know how to contact me!

4:29 am

Liz, before it happens you might tell her of the red boxes when babble resets

4:29 am

Of course! Pugs, Jo's another Brit. We met through a mutual friend.

4:30 am

Sometimes (at 6.15 our time and at some other time) the grid resets and you get red boxes of doom! You can't enter words or chat for a few minutes. But then it sorts itself.

Ian and I going to see The Paul Potts film in the morning Liz at Arts Centre if you are interested.

4:30 am

Not sure Jo - will talk to Peter. OK gotta go! Enjoy the rest of the evening, Jo. Have a good day Pugs. Hugs to all :)

4:31 am

bye ya Liz--hugs

6:34 am

6:34 am

yw

6:58 am

runt

6:59 am

oops

6:59 am

good morning everyone

6:59 am

{{crossy}}

6:59 am

((ruby))

7:00 am

hi ruby, hi crossy

7:00 am

howdy,bojazz

7:01 am

hope the dental thing wasn't as bad as anticipated...

7:02 am

hello bojazz, v nice to see you

7:03 am

nice, 61, nbt and nbs

7:05 am

and now, the fire beckons

7:05 am

it is really cold here!

7:08 am

fire, sounds good! enjoy

7:08 am

right at the freezing mark here,so milder than it has been

7:13 am

dental is still ongoing,bojazz,they dug,they scraped,they chipped,they gouged,they excised infection from the gums.now they have me on antibiotics till i see him again next week to determine if the poison in my gums has attacked the tooth nerves from below the gum line

7:15 am

wow! well I hope there is positive progress and that there is no poison. sounds quite severe and NO fun at all...

7:17 am

it does however do a fine job of expressing to me the great import of correct flossing. a Water Pik machi9ne is now high on my list of things to buy once this is all over

7:19 am

no,no fun at all. crossy has a touch of dentist phobia. 3 of them have to come at me very gently like they are dealing with a bear with a thorn in its paw

7:20 am

they think i do not notice how they always pick the prettiest dental assistant to run the suction machine to try and distract me lol

7:24 am

crossy, this sounds awful

7:25 am

sigh...my own fault.plaque tartar build up gets in there works its way under the gum line like a splinter and infection sets in

7:27 am

at least they only had to peel back the gums in one spot..so far

7:28 am

we are ardent flossers an we use an Oral B Floss Head attachments with an Interspace attachment

7:28 am

very good.have you used a water pik?

7:28 am

I have in the past, but I prefer the Floss Head attachments

7:29 am

i do not know those?

7:30 am

Costco has a pretty nifty Air Flosser.

7:31 am

so many choices.i shall have to explore them all

7:32 am

fine sandpaper and a sandblaster provide excellent results .... and have the benefit of helping one say on a diet.

7:33 am

LOL

7:33 am

stay

7:33 am

i think i will pass on that o-o

7:33 am

I also have a Sulko brush which gets down on the gumline

7:34 am

i want something simple and easy to use or i will end up using it for a week and stopping otherwise

7:40 am

mm.after a quick exploration across the interwebs,the water pik is in the lead

7:44 am

using a drill to manipulate brush picks can give you shocking results

7:44 am

i just got a sudden urge for some Wensleydale cheese and some nice crackers to go with it....

7:45 am

I keep lots of super glue handy

7:45 am

na..glue and crackers? i will pass

7:46 am

No sense of adventure ...

7:46 am

i know,i find what i like and stay with it, though i did have some wonderful calamari just before my dental adventures began:)

7:48 am

though this morning,sadly,it is looking like soft foods again as i must of slept wrong and the left side of my face is all puffed out again

7:48 am

No doubt bacon overload precipitated the dental misadventures.

7:49 am

well,only if a spear of overly crisp bacon descended below the gumline,but it is possible lol

7:50 am

maybe it was a case of not enough bacon! i have heard that bacon can remove tartar. i shall have to explore this once i can eat properly again:)

7:51 am

Could be. I read bacon is good for cleaning car battery terminals

7:52 am

waste of good bacon.just keep a bit of steel wool handy

7:53 am

Raw bacon and a coke or pepsi

7:53 am

for the battery terminals that is.not for removing tartar from your teeth..though it may work

7:53 am

well,coke and pepsi is just shy of being battery acid itself

7:54 am

mountain dew is the worst however

7:54 am

Good day to all.

7:55 am

we used to make camping lights with the stuff

7:55 am

howdy scrabby

Hey, I am using Babble Expert. I thought one word chat entries are not supposed to go into the log.

7:56 am

zeta and peat ... burlesque?

7:56 am

Oh, well. Free clues! Get 'e, while you can!

7:56 am

tea is on and today it is soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers

7:56 am

What are toast soldiers?

7:56 am

you cut the toast into finger strips to dip into the soft yolk

7:57 am

Aah.

7:57 am

always known as toast soldiers when i was growing up

7:57 am

I like that term.

Hah, bunny came out of her room and she is staring at me, with her nose on the go.

8:23 am

wants b-fast?

aloy, did you find the last i word

8:24 am

She already got her morning salad--3 baby carrots, greens, small piece of banana. Now she is under the couch, ready to sleep for the day.

8:25 am

missing an i from the middle TO

8:25 am

Hi Owl

rabbits sleep all day like cats?

8:25 am

not on a list yet

hi scrabs

8:25 am

Yes, they are most active at dawn and dusk.

8:25 am

iz 4.9

8:26 am

ooh, ty o-o

i have not seen many lately. i am wondering if the colony got too big and they left?

ty

8:29 am

They must be around, Owl, unless raptors have gobbled them up.

8:29 am

or coyotes

do they hibernate?

8:29 am

No, rabbits do not hibernate.

no coyotes in this immediate area. hawks, always.

i dont think there are enough hawks in all of the state to thin them out.

8:30 am

Hah.

8:32 am

lol, found a ca4 fish

i woke up yesterday to find a car parked over a foot from the curb and 1/3 the way over my driveway. it was not moved until after 2pm. held hostage.

8:32 am

how inconsiderate

8:33 am

sounds like an tipsy parker

8:33 am

In similar situations I have called the cops to have them towed, TO

when the perpetrator came out i expressed my displeasure. he actually went wround to the passenger side and LOOKED at the car as if to see if I could have made it out around him.

8:33 am

it happens a lot across our driveway (sometimes people even... park across our driveway as if it were a parking spot)

8:34 am

No apology, Owl?

8:34 am

Hi Mael

8:34 am

hi scrabbs!

party at neighbors. and she wonders why i am so angry at her. it's always something.

hesaiud sorry, it was dark. but i could not go to her house although i KNEW whose guest it was.

8:38 am

waiting for my cackleberries..

8:38 am

getting hungry

they will be hard boiled by now

8:42 am

Yay, I ended up with soft-boiled cackleberries.

8:42 am

good job, Scrabbs

8:43 am

Second Z? I have the GReek letter.

8:43 am

sorry,was delayed.cackkleberries and toast soldiers are in the pb!

8:43 am

hah, ty .. I missed the letter

8:44 am

ze4 is the other one, just add not out

8:44 am

TY

8:44 am

ty so much crossy.. off to the pb for me

8:44 am

we could have a cackleberry party in there

8:45 am

we could indeed

8:45 am

on the first of each month

8:46 am

just noticed the pb ca6 needs to be vacuumed

8:47 am

TY for clue

8:47 am

all those toast crumbs

8:47 am

must be

8:48 am

all i have to was it down with is orange juice or some of our very own local soft apple cider

8:48 am

20 left and stuck. I have been inspired to vacuum now. That will be my warm up for skiing/snowshoeing later.

8:49 am

wash

8:49 am

do bunnies shed?

8:50 am

Yes, they do, Aloy. Then I brush the bunnies. That reminds me, I need to trim their nails.

8:50 am

can you vacuum bunnies?

8:50 am

will bunnies use a scratching post?

8:51 am

gently, of course

8:52 am

lol,aloy i think that would be like my trying to vacuum my cats

8:52 am

chaos

8:52 am

well, bunnies seem to be more placid

8:53 am

but I don't know, have never owned a bunny

8:53 am

Bunnies don't need to scratch, they need to chew.

8:54 am

In the summer I bring the bunnies out on the back deck and pull the shedding fur off.

8:55 am

some lucky birds have soft linings in their nests

8:58 am

down to the last dozen and have to scoot.. bbs TY for the cackleberries, crossy.. they were delish..ciao for now Scrabbs et al, have a lot of snow fun today!

9:00 am

Bye, I might return here later. 20 left.

9:03 am

Hi all what does the 8 start with?

9:05 am

fr

9:06 am

Thanks Une

9:07 am

yw :-)

9:07 am

is that your dog? adorable!

9:09 am

My grand dog, belongs to my son but I always get to look after him whenever they need me to. He's sitting next to me now

9:10 am

aaawww :-)

9:12 am

back in a bit -- pups need a walk :-)

9:14 am

ni

he is cute, what breed is he

9:16 am

a cockerpoo. Working cocker spaniel crossed with a standard poodle.

9:17 am

He was only a puppy in my icon he is 7 now

he is a big dog then

9:18 am

Bigger than they expected he is more like a labradoodle.

bet he is energetic and smart

9:19 am

i had a cockerpoo once.thing was way too smart for its own good

9:20 am

Definitely and also very affectionate and loyal

9:20 am

prone to ear infections

9:21 am

They have another one same breed but smaller, full of energy. He will come back on command but only when he's ready

9:21 am

never,ever let them run in the tall grass in the morning till the dew has burned off!

a working cocker is a big dog> they are pretty small here and do not seem compatible with a std poodle

9:22 am

I wouldn't know. I asked my daughter in law what his parentage was as so many people stop and ask me

9:22 am

i find the full size standard poodles over bred nasty beasts

9:23 am

give me a nice mix or a heinz 57 anytime

9:23 am

Agree about the grass Crossy, I'm not a dog expert but find these cross breeds very good tempered

i know only bout dogs from those i have encountered - and animal planet. i have never owned one.

but growing up wanted a cocker. lady and the tramp and all.

9:24 am

I've never owned a dog, a lot easier to borrow them and give them back. Much like grandchildren

9:24 am

lol

sounds great!

9:25 am

That was the first film I saw apparently. For my third birthday treat

9:26 am

i cannot wait for grandbabbies, however, must get my 19 year old working,out of the house and married off first :))

and did you fall in love with cockers

9:27 am

MY son had a daughter 3 months ago, I had to wait till he was 34 far too long to wait

9:28 am

Not at the time To

oh you are a new grandma then! fun!

9:28 am

Great fun

9:29 am

wait till they are 2. you can pump them full of sugar and food colouring,give them high energy play an hour before mum and dad show up and ship them home!! mwahahaha

I'm waiting on grandbabies - the dh is trying but starting to think it may take in ai or in vitro. 3 years w/ no success

9:29 am

Sounds like a plan

I mean - the dd! duh!

9:30 am

Took 3 years for mine but happened naturally in the end

i need to clear rows 2 3 and 4 from rows 1 and 2. odd lookin stats. better get busy

i need to clear rows 2 3 and 4 from rows 1 and 2. odd lookin stats. better get busy

well they haven't given up hope. So far the drs haven't found anything serious to be a problem. She just quit her job that she hates to bring down stress levels - of course then you worry more abou money

job stress is pretty powerful, hope this does the trick.

9:33 am

My diL fell pregnant just after they had bought their second dog

9:34 am

Probably stopped stressing about conceiving while puppy training

yes, we're hoping. She actually is taking 11 mos of unpaid leave, so can go back if she feels the need. At least in France where she lives the fertility treatments will all be national health if it comes to that

9:36 am

rasta, new research suggests that stress doesn't hamper fertility (depression does, but stress itself does not). So please tell her at least to not stress about stressing! :)

No lickety I see. Does Dee have a list? I'm pretty well stuck

Will do Mael. That *has* been a problem

9:37 am

I'm finding it hard too still need 24

oh, it stresses me when i hear there is no list. at least this is short.

9:38 am

I have Dee's list in my profile.

9:38 am

I seem to be missing all the easy words too. took me ages to find the foreign money

Thanks, Molly

9:39 am

best of luck to them, I know how crazy making it is to want a baby and have things not work out as smoothly as one would have hoped. I did plenty of research as we were trying to conceive and now we have a baby due in April :)

Oh wonderful!

9:40 am

well done mael

I have baby goats due in April, but not quite the same

:)

9:41 am

thanks! Though I'd love baby goats too! We're moving to the country next year and plan on getting a couple does :)

we moved 4 years ago to a few acres - now have chickens, goats, bees. electric car and the solar panels are going in as we speak.

9:46 am

yep, that's exactly the plan for us!

9:46 am

we're building a house with a big barn, covering said barn in solar panels, and getting some animals :)

9:46 am

down to the chickens, goats, and bees :)

9:47 am

Sounds lovely, would have loved to do the same but there's no chance

if you're ever near Reno come visit! sounds like we're kindred souls

9:50 am

Is this now a green chat?

I know you're close, Ru. Come tip a glass of goat milk with us :)

i'm saving energy by sitting very still in this chair. does that count as going green?

9:53 am

I have a wood burning stove so that's my bit of green

9:56 am

.u recycle wine bottles by emptying them first

9:56 am

I

9:57 am

me too, looks like we're getting this green thing going

9:57 am

mmmh, wine. I can't wait until I can drink a full glass again.

9:57 am

Absolutely, rasta, same goes for you if you're ever in the Boston area :)

hi molly?

is this the anniversary of "NB"?

9:58 am

hi owl ..

hi doren

9:59 am

were you in NJ? I was in MD

9:59 am

and hi to mael, maisie and ruru

9:59 am

No I think June is the anniversary

oh, i wish i had know, perhaps could have met along the way for lunch. no, i was at home.

10:00 am

Hi Dorens

just wondering why he is your icon

10:00 am

hi dorens :)

10:00 am

i took the tpk home and it took forever

10:00 am

ru just does that to be perverse i think, since it disturbs people. or maybe to keep us on our toes

oh no! what day?

10:01 am

yesterday. major accident in MD, and then construction on the tpk in mid jersey. + congestion in general

wow. today will be worse though, thank good ness you did not wait

10:02 am

Me? Perverse?

10:02 am

how silly of me

i need 7 more

10:02 am

(the accident in MD actually closed I 95 for a while... while I was there

10:02 am

Ha

10:03 am

it's just a front though... you are really a sweetie

last friday my new friend from MD took FIVE HOURS to get here because of accident on 95 and getting lost on alternate route. FIVE HOURS and at one point in kensington.

10:05 am

i usually do 83 to 81 to 78 -- definitely should have yesterday. 95 is a mess unless it's off hours... and they charge a fortune for it as well

10:06 am

I love our freeways out here

10:06 am

not the ones around LA...

10:06 am

can I have a clue for the ad?

you are right then doren because it is a bit disturbing especially at this time of year so mission accomplished for me.

hey sue

we had a house fire on Thanksgiving, wall behind the chimney caught on fire, and the cleanup has been very much a pain

10:40 am

Thanks kje

10:40 am

I've heard of that before, Mael

10:41 am

how horrible mael, was the damper closed while fire going?

10:41 am

insurance is great, but I'm not letting the dry cleaning company take my sheets/clothes I can wash myself. They took the jackets and couch cushions and stuff

10:42 am

Ugh! sounds messy

10:42 am

no, unfortunately improperly installed wall insulation around the actual fireplace. It was a ticking time bomb said the fire department, which means that I'm actually very glad it happened when we were home/not sleeping

10:43 am

so sorry, mael, but as you said it could have been worst.

10:44 am

absolutely, we are very very thankful that, while terrifying at the time, the damage is actually as contained as possible and obviously no one, including our cat, was hurt

10:46 am

anyone have stats for the m's?

Hi Mo and sciencegeek. Just starting and glad there are only 98 words. Today the great Northwest is gray, windy, and raining. The birds are looking for more free birdseed and suet. We are going to start the fireplace in the afternoon to take the moisture out of the air.

ok now the ca 5

hello

3:29 pm

hi stidmere.

3:29 pm

Hi. sciencegeek.

done!

3:30 pm

congratulations science!!

3:31 pm

not a bad grid today stid.

3:32 pm

you will fly through it.

3:32 pm

No, not a bad grid and I'm getting better at being intuitive with the words. I love to watch stidmama work the grid as her fingers just fly.

3:35 pm

we have had the heating on for a few days now but the weather is unbelievable for the 1st of December.

3:36 pm

I think it is so cool we can visit in real time on the chog. My husband and I made a trip to France and England when I retired six years ago. We explored the Devon area where some of my ancestors emmigrated from. We talk about what we saw and did on that trip very often. Do you mean it is really warm for December 1?

3:38 pm

well not warm but we have early morning frosts but it warms up during the day.We still have roses coming into bloom.

3:39 pm

Oh, you are so fortunate to have roses this time of year. We are in a winter mode with few blooms on anything. I do have primroses with some flowers, though.

3:41 pm

we do not have the primroses until well after Christmas.We are amazed that the roses are doing so well, must be all the mild weather we have had.

3:43 pm

Hope you enjoyed your trip to England.

3:43 pm

Some years we have snow here on Puget Sound, other years it is just rainy. Our dog, Murphy, went outside and I need to monitor where he was wandered to. He goes to our neighbor's house because that is where the bunnies have their tunnels. He thinks bunnies are pretty special. He doesn't chase them, he just watches.

3:46 pm

aah bless him, he is obviously a labrador ... am I right?

3:47 pm

Yes, a lab. He is the most mild-mannered dog we've had and has a wonderful vocabulary. He doesn't say much but understands lots.

3:48 pm

We dog sit our nephews black lab during the week and I am certain she is more intelligent than most humans and so mild mannered too.

3:49 pm

How nice your nephews can have their dog in a loving environment while they are working.

3:49 pm

she never barks (except if dogs come on the tele)

3:49 pm

howdy my friends:)) just finished watching a interesting programme that originally aired on VH1 i think it was(but you can get it in you tube) it is called Behind the scenes and this episode was about the life and music of Jim Croce. Poor man the record industry used him and abused him and to be honest i do not think he ever saw any real money before he died in 1973

3:51 pm

haven is not a clue. it is the first part of haven't.

3:52 pm

i believe he just put out one album before he died....i have it on tape somewhere...

3:52 pm

I loved jim Croce songs.

3:53 pm

Stid give my love to your daughter, please.

3:53 pm

as do i.took his wife Ingrid 4 years in courts to start the money owed to them to start flowing.Jim's son A.J is in the business now

3:53 pm

Yes, I'll remember you to stidmma, hego.

3:53 pm

thank you

3:53 pm

he put out 4 albums in total.3 on his own and a early one with him and ingrid together that had poor sales

3:54 pm

my thoughts and best wishes go to your daughter too stid.

3:55 pm

i am sorry.what is wrong with your daughter stid?

3:55 pm

nothing wrong Crossy, just saying hi.

3:56 pm

oh ok.good then.had me worried

3:56 pm

Unless you count her house burning dwn.

3:57 pm

yes.i know about that and i am glad that the pieces are coming together and they will soon have a home again

3:57 pm

All good then

3:57 pm

Stidmama has enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday, she has planned for the coming week, corrected papers, visited with her children, eaten a nice meal with us on Thanksgiving, and gone out to her house to continue planning and decision-making. Your kind thoughts are positively important and we are all grateful for our friends.

3:58 pm

do they have a tentative move in date yet?

3:58 pm

Glad to hear it stidmere.

3:58 pm

No. The last I heard was February but I think that is tentative.

3:59 pm

that would be great.

4:00 pm

It just makes me wonder how whole towns, like Washington, Illinois, are ever going to be put back together. With winter weather really coming there, how will those families cope?

4:01 pm

We went through that last year with Sandy.

4:01 pm

It was really tough

4:02 pm

But people stuck together and helped each other.

4:02 pm

Some, however are still not in their homes.

4:02 pm

I hope I am not digging up emotions but do they know how the fire started? .... you dont have to answer if you do not want to stid.

4:03 pm

I see pictures of the Sandy area and appreciate the difficulty of rebuilding towns on sand bars.

4:03 pm

Was it electrical?

4:04 pm

I just do not know how I would cope in these situations.

4:04 pm

Whole towns were devastated Stid, not just the ones on the barrier beaches.

4:04 pm

I am happy to tell you what I know but I also have hesitated asking Stidmama about the origin another time. For quite a while they didn't seem to know. Electrical, yes. Was it a faulty heating pad? Not sure. I shall eventually find out.

4:04 pm

can someone give me stats for the 8 word please?

4:05 pm

I thought she said electrical in nature, but no details.

4:05 pm

fr8,85

4:05 pm

Oh, the information I have hego is obviously not complete about the New Jersey storm damage. We have plenty of situations to respond to, that is for sure.

4:06 pm

and hiya penq

4:07 pm

Big ethical questions about rebuilding on those barrier beaches.

4:07 pm

reminds me my friends; if you use those energy saving "pigtail" lightbulbs like most of us do,make sure yours are from a north american manufacturer or other big name like GE. many of the imported ones sold on the cheap in dollar stores and wal-marts have been over heating in the sockets and pose a fire hazard

4:07 pm

I understand stidgmere thank you.

4:07 pm

The debate will continue for some time.

4:07 pm

I am going to wander off as I have about half the words and want to read for awhile. Enjoy your day, all.

4:08 pm

You too, dear Stid.

4:08 pm

7:54 pm

Heya stid ..

7:54 pm

Do you want a clue, phan?

7:54 pm

yes please, I am giving up the monkeys

7:55 pm

tor, I am so happy to see you today! Stood out in the rain for over an hour and a half to see Grant in his last parade as a high school student!

7:56 pm

I would have done the same for my son, Stidmama!

7:56 pm

az+ h*** and go seek

7:56 pm

It's a chemical term like ox***

7:57 pm

Or perox***

7:57 pm

:-) I love hearing the kids play, not much of a fan of the monster trucks revving engines and making toxic black plumes, though. :-)

7:57 pm

thanks for that A!

7:57 pm

well, it doesn't help that my math was wrong, I thought the rest of the word were all 1 point tiles. Thank you for the help

7:58 pm

Ugh, me either, Stidmama! But in the name of love...

8:00 pm

:-) and we DOES love our kiddos! LOL poor thing, we follow the band along the whole route every year, taking pics and video the whole time. We are the only parents who are quite that peculiar. *wicked mama grin* this year, I gave his girlfriend "the treatment" too!

8:00 pm

sounds like perfect fun!

8:00 pm

oooh! NBT

8:00 pm

I think we are kindred spirits, Stidmama!

8:01 pm

clue for that FR 8 please?

8:01 pm

I think so, phand -- speaking of, how are you? last we "spoke" you had a patient who was not long to last...

8:01 pm

fr 8? really? *sigh*

8:02 pm

Well, he survived my shift. I haven't been back since last Tuesday, so not sure what has happened. I did give his wife my e-mail so she could let me know the funeral arrangements. But I haven't heard anything yet. so, not sure

8:03 pm

I don't go back in until Wednesday.

8:03 pm

It's more of a word meaning untidy - usually spelled with a "w"

8:03 pm

ah, it's rough to not know. Are you working only part time?

8:03 pm

yes, 2 12 hour shifts a week.

8:03 pm

PERFECT clue, tor!

8:03 pm

Torgon, is the word usually starting with the W?

8:04 pm

oh, man, that at least gives you a little time to recuperate after each shift I guess. I am glad I don't have to be "on" 12 hours a day, though I do tend to work at least ten hours a day during the week at least I can prop my feet up for half that time while I grade papers and plan the next day's lessons...

8:04 pm

I wish I was smart enough for these perfect clues.

8:05 pm

phand, think of a woman with really wild hair, windblown looking, she is fr****; and a woman with wilder hair is even more so... (use the high point tile)

8:07 pm

I just went to A-Z to get it, I never heard that word before. Thanks for trying to help, Stidmama :)

8:08 pm

As for the job, It doesn't even really feel like I have a job. (well except for that 1 hour commute part...)

8:08 pm

that was my last word, phan...

8:08 pm

(((phand))) (((Tor))) (((LBD))) heading out to finish making my notes. back later if I can. down to 45 with your help! :-) AND NBS! *poof*

8:08 pm

8:09 pm
