sorry about the garble.

12:17 am

what's that about harp

Chaos here, too... hubby's mom put in the hospital over the weekend for blood clots in her lungs. Hoping meds will get her home by the weekend. She had a big family Christmas planned for her house - found out today, it is going to be here.

12:18 am

ouch, dee!!!

12:19 am

wow dee.. you just DID a big party

Hopefully, everyone will pitch in on food, but some are coming from different states.... had to sit down this evening and take a breath to keep my temper. I do hope she can come home, but that is exactly why I am nuts, ru :)

Thanks for "getting it", ru.

12:20 am

that is not fair

I don't want to be a brat, but it is so much work... feeling a tad overwhelmed.

Hubby great, but truly doesn't understand how much work is involved.

12:21 am

I should think so, dee!

I am thinking will do a huge ham, some frozen sombrero spread, and meatballs, and they can bring the rest :)

12:22 am

Hi all :)

Hi, liz!

12:23 am

Wow Dee! More entertaining! Make it easy for yourself!

Do you have all those presents purchased, jili?

12:23 am

Love the icon, too!

You are NOT being a brat VMD!

That is what I am thinking, Liz! Kids will be in Friday night, and I think they will help. Thanks, mel. Hubby thought I was "unreasonable" to think it's a big deal.

12:24 am

great.. then he can do it

12:24 am

Daft hubby. Book yourself a few days away and leave him to sort it! LOL!

Also, what I was thinking tonight, ru :)

Wow, Liz, would I LOVE to do that!

12:25 am

Most of them, dee, I think.

12:25 am

I have to say it's really unfair for them to expect you to jump right in

12:25 am

Well, even if you don't do that, try and organise some time out for yourself at some point!

We have the most room, so I am expected to help.

12:26 am

si 8

12:26 am

OMG! Just spotted 17 x k!

12:26 am

That's the trouble, eh, dee? You do a great job and it goes so smoothly, so everyone thinks it's no big deal for you to do it again.

12:26 am

but that isn't just 'helping' Dee

12:26 am

Help is fine - any other sibs or kids who can pitch in!

Exactly. Took a month to plan the other one... this will be about 10 days... called cleaning helper to have her come a couple of times... I'll give her extra money. Nope, just one daughter and son-in-law.

12:27 am

the to 6 bowled me over tonight

great clue, ru!

12:28 am

Hugs, Dee - tough for you. I'm sure it'll work out though :)

ty, liz (((liz))) love the hug :)

found all the p's but one...grrr

12:29 am

12:30 am

one of the p's in penetrating :D

12:30 am

12:30 am

And there's me stressing over Christmas. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with Thanksgiving as well!

12:31 am

I already dealt with Canadian Thanksgiving

This year it was tougher, since Thanksgiving was a week later than usual. (((jac)))

12:46 am

Here's a cryptic clue: I can't dance on a rug with these cleats; tap is essentially done on a wood floor. The clue is hiding in that sentence.

12:48 am

Hi there, Lizlin.

1:30 am

thought you had left Dee, please don't take on the whole works yourself, ask various ones specifically to bring stuff - and to take charge of other things

1:30 am

Congrats, Dee

1:31 am

otherwise you'll be on your feet all day long and si totally exhausted you won't get to enjoy anything

1:32 am

so exhausted

1:32 am

Great advice, flosey.

1:32 am

do hope she does dole out chores

1:33 am

I like your advice, too, Flosey.

1:33 am

She could hire Ru to do the cooking for her and everyone pitch in to help pay--lol

1:36 am

Good thought, puglet.

1:36 am

Ks killed

1:44 am

So gestalt was ok yesterday but not Geist!

1:44 am

pugs, looks like she has a lady bug on her nose

1:44 am

by the way Sprite on the puzzle site did you see the xmas tree with your dutch china on it? I could picture that in your home

1:44 am

1:44 am

1:45 am

Sweet dreams, flosey.

1:45 am

night flosey, sleep well *hug*

1:45 am

brb

1:45 am

Liz! Didn't you say you liked fantasy puzzles?

1:46 am

No not yet Sprite

1:46 am

Haven't been ther for a couple of days but like the sound of it and will look out for it.

1:46 am

Yes, love fantasy puzzles.

1:46 am

I found a lovely fantasy puzzle, want a link?

1:46 am

Please.

1:47 am

darn it... jigidi is offline! Can't get the link now :( Will give it to you as soon as I can.

1:47 am

was playing yesterday evening and the server kept disconnecting... and I had to start over, loll.

1:47 am

looks like it really crashed now

1:47 am

Look forward to it. Do you do "real" puzzles sprite?

1:48 am

I like the snowman ones---which I like snowmans but Ive seen so many great puzzles there its hard to chose which to do

1:48 am

oh yes, Liz. No holiday is complete without a real puzzle, for me

1:48 am

Fantastic set of 4 fantasy puzzles by Josephine Wall.

1:49 am

I had trouble with that site too--could be the weather causing it

1:49 am

1000 pieces each.

1:49 am

I LOVE josephine wall. I have 2 of her puzzles.

1:49 am

pug, no, the server crashed. There is a message now.

1:49 am

Also, if you've not seen them, look out for "Suitcase" puzzles, made by masterpiece. Lots of humour in them and cut on the diagonal, with unusual shaped pieces.

1:49 am

Which 2?

1:50 am

oh, this was yesterday

1:50 am

ok, thanks Liz!

1:50 am

You have puzzles on there too Liz

1:50 am

If you can find them, really recommend "London"

1:50 am

Yes, I love puzzles, pugs.

1:50 am

this one: http://tinyurl.com/k8mgx8a

1:51 am

are they under the same name you have here, Liz

1:52 am

Sorry, no I haven't made any puzzles, pugs. Misunderstood you. Only went to jigidi a couple of days ago.

1:52 am

Have done that puzzle sprite. Loved it.

1:54 am

How do I do a tiny url address?

1:56 am

http://tinyurl.com/k4f3qb5 - for suitcase puzzles. We just started route 66 today.

1:56 am

and one other one that I can't find right now. With dark water at the bottom.

1:57 am

looks like a lot of fun, Liz! Thanks for the link.

1:57 am

Well, as I said, we have a set of 4.

1:57 am

Suitcase ones are our favourites. We've done quite a few but looking at the site, have discovered a lot we've not done.

1:58 am

got it, here it is is: http://tinyurl.com/q2ox6tt

1:59 am

are they in the shape of a suitcase too, Liz, or just normal flat ones?

2:00 am

here's another one we've just finished - done 5 like this. Again lots of humour. http://tinyurl.com/mmowkk8

2:00 am

Just the box is in the shape of the suitcase.

2:00 am

Yup, done that too.

2:01 am

ok, great. I prefer flat ones.

2:01 am

Hi

2:01 am

hi Jack

2:01 am

Hi sprite

2:02 am

Also look at Diana and Snowflake by Josephine Wall

2:02 am

Hi Jack

2:02 am

Hi jack

2:02 am

oh, love that one, Liz!

2:02 am

Which - the ravens burger?

2:02 am

Have you seen the Colin Thompson jigsaws? fun to do

2:03 am

yes, the funny one. Just checked the Diana and the Snowflake, love them too.

2:03 am

Yes, love them, Jack.

2:04 am

ok, bookmarking like mad here

2:04 am

Is he Australian?

2:04 am

Great books too

2:04 am

I think the link below for the ravens burger is a Colin Thompson - but I think the manufacture has been taken over by Ravensburger.

2:05 am

Did you know that Colin Thompson is colour blind - how he creates those pics, I can't imagine.

2:05 am

Rubbish punctuation today!

2:05 am

No I didn't! That is truly amazing

2:05 am

That irritates me as an ex-English teacher!

2:06 am

I tend to read past it - unless marking!

2:06 am

I tend to read past it - unless marking!

2:07 am

Never read any of his books.

2:07 am

And no, just googled him and he's English.

2:08 am

He writes amazing children's books. My son and I enjoyed them 10 or so years ago. The puzzles come from the book illustrations

2:09 am

Will look out for them - not that I have kids nor do I teach any more!

2:11 am

hi all

2:11 am

HI joso

2:11 am

morning Joso

2:11 am

hi joso! *hugs* How's the unpacking progressing?

2:11 am

Hi joso - settling in?

2:12 am

Hi there, joso.

2:12 am

Same questions from me, Joso.

2:13 am

it's coming along, found my plates today, widens to meal choices enormously to have plates

2:14 am

lol indeed

2:14 am

So fussy joso - what's wrong with the food containers or even the table!!! lol!

2:16 am

news flash, joso: just eat your food from the styrofoam containers. That is their purpose in life. For the burgers, open the container first.

2:17 am

I bought bacon and eggs, but have been unable to get some as I thought a basket lined with papertowel would not be sufficent to bacon and eggs

2:18 am

Need to choose your food more carefully!

2:18 am

eat from the skillet--lol

2:18 am

news flash, not all meals come in styrofoam containers

2:18 am

some come in buckets

2:18 am

they don't??

2:19 am

ah, ok, true. Yes, the buckets. You can eat from those too.

2:19 am

;)

2:20 am

:D

2:20 am

ok, makes no difference to my barbarian buddies, but I am still glad to have plates

2:20 am

Depends how hungry you are.

2:21 am

am glad you have them too, joso. Very nice to find back the small comforts in life.

2:22 am

Seriously though, when you're fully sorted, you'll begin to feel more at home.

2:22 am

aaggghhhh. someone save my sanity....oops, too late. how about someone hide me?? nope...too late!! anyone got a good disguise? that should do it....

2:22 am

*still waiting to become fully sorted myself*

2:23 am

Hi Rose--hugs

2:23 am

rose! *HUGE hugs* Lovely to see you. HOw are you holding up, hun, except for the overrated sanity?

2:23 am

Ssssh! I think Rose is somewhere about!

2:23 am

*adopts deep, husky voice* well hello mix pugs

2:23 am

Disguise working for me!

2:23 am

*miz*

2:24 am

vent Rose, if you need to

2:24 am

Hugs, Rose.

2:24 am

doesn't work for me, the disguise. A rose is a rose, and smells like one, no matter what name you give it...

2:24 am

Sounds like you need 'em.

2:24 am

hi rose

2:24 am

wading through funeral service and accompanying handot for guests. SIL dropped all that into DH's lap, today.

2:25 am

ugh, handout, even

2:25 am

Does she ever do anything helpful?

2:25 am

that SIL is really something. Any reason at all to keep seeing her after the funeral?

2:25 am

liz, she creates chaos very well.

2:25 am

Hmmmpf!

2:26 am

so her full name is Fang Enthropy.

2:26 am

Love it!

2:26 am

I could be much less subtle.

2:26 am

*giggles*

2:26 am

she assured funeral directors and us(to our surprise) that OUR vicat was going to do the service. was also a surprise to our vicar.

2:27 am

*vicar*

2:27 am

amazing. I wonder, rose, doesn't anyone ever stand up to her and say here, YOU do it.

2:27 am

I'm sure she was delighted! (Tis a female vicar, isn't it?)

2:28 am

coming close, sprite, coming close. poor vicar was absolutely apologetic. she already has something on her diary for friday at the same time.

2:29 am

how are don and fang anyway?

2:29 am

poor vicar. She doesn't have anything to be apologetic about, it is SIL's fault. As usual.

2:29 am

Don't take too much more, Rose. Not good for your stress levels.

2:30 am

How are your legs today?

2:30 am

need i remind you all we still have to clean out MIL's rooms. SIL has already frantically done an initial search for an opal brooch she says FIL gave MIL. not anywhere obvious!

2:30 am

Like you can do that right now!

2:31 am

joso, don is doing amazingly well. i wouldn't be fang for quids. she does anything to upset him, she is gonna wear it, majorly.

2:31 am

good grievance. She is way beyond fangdom. I wonder, can narcissism be inherited through inlaws?

2:32 am

I say after this funneral, lock up the house and you and don take a nice long getaway

2:32 am

Funny pugs, I was thinking that.

2:32 am

liz, leg is quite good, considering. a little swelling, but that is to be expected. tomorrow i am trying for a pj day...in bed for most of it.

2:33 am

I really hope you make it. Not sure of protocol at the funeral, but will you be able to sit through it?

2:33 am

I think I would tell Fang that without mother Mac needing the occasional alternative caretaker, there is no reason left to keep seeing her.

2:33 am

do you not have on pj's now?

2:33 am

great idea, rose. A nice long lazy day with reading and all.

2:34 am

I think Sprite should come to you and stand guard at the door--lol

2:34 am

yeah, let me at her. You need a Fang in your life like a boil on your ass.

2:35 am

Sharpen the teeth, sprite and at her!!!

2:35 am

Let Fang meet Fang!

2:35 am

foregone conclusion, Liz. She hurt my rose. She is history.

2:36 am

Same!

2:36 am

:D

2:36 am

squirrel

2:36 am

lol joso

2:36 am

*giggle* you sweet things, you! all fluffy and girly!! NOT!!!

2:36 am

why is it taking so long for this funneral--is there alot of family out of state

2:37 am

Thank goodness - fluffy and girly? Never!

2:37 am

I can do fluffy and girly like the best of 'm. Hear me roar!

2:37 am

there... new icon for the occasion, rose

2:37 am

huh, joso. stand right here, let me at him!~!

2:37 am

stop that Sprite! you knocked over my coffee

2:37 am

lol pug

2:37 am

fluffy and girly, hrumph

2:38 am

Cute sprite! Tiger bunny!

2:38 am

on you it looks manly, joso

2:38 am

wasn't sprite, was the squirrel...lolol

2:38 am

tiger bunny to the rescue!

2:39 am

we made rose laugh, yay. *hugs* hun, I know it is a battle right now. But you are winning.

2:39 am

koala with attitude

DH gone out to start dinner. don't know what is on the menu tonight...care factor about 0....

2:39 am

ohh, ok the manly fluffy and girly, i misunderstood at first

2:40 am

oh, that is funny, Liz

2:40 am

joso, was glad to see the unpacking progresses. good on you!!

2:40 am

There are a whole series of them that were part of an annual beach sculpture festival.

2:40 am

we'd never knock your manliness, joso, never fear

2:41 am

Is don stressed with his sister too Rose

2:41 am

rose, just fuel in the tank, I understand.

2:42 am

hey, speak for yourself, sprite. i just use a feather, that's all...of course i could use the whole chook if that is joso's desire.

2:42 am

http://tinyurl.com/mxd2vjt koala sculpture trail

2:42 am

one more day, 2 max, and things will be in general order around here

2:42 am

interesting imagery there, rose

2:43 am

pugs, don is so admirable. he rarely loses his cool. today he was close. but he just stepped up to the mark...the job is done.

2:43 am

oh Liz, I like them! Great sculptures for on the beach or in a park

2:44 am

i just wanna scream when others take advantage of him.

2:44 am

hard to imagine he is letting her walk all over him, rose. Does he never tell her off?

2:45 am

He probalby just takes it to keep peace within the family unit

2:46 am

pugs, you have it in one.

2:46 am

for I know I do that alot myself

2:46 am

But there comes a time ... After all how much can you take?

2:46 am

we had the same thing with moose it Toronto a while ago

2:47 am

I admire you guys. I'd have told her my thoughts by now, for sure. She'd be wearing scorch marks.

2:47 am

That would've been fun, Joso.

2:47 am

oh nice, joso

2:47 am

*sigh* coming closer and closer...just DH and me...so looking forward to it.

2:47 am

326 moose scattered about the city

2:48 am

Like them! Just googled moose sculpture Toronto.

2:48 am

at long long last, rose. Not far now. So very lovely.

2:48 am

I was wondering Joso if you had moose and bears coming into your city

2:48 am

Now the koalas are scattered around the Gold Coast.

2:48 am

so no great rush to clean out MIL rooms, no new relative like fang moving in

2:48 am

sounds from the kitchen...dinner almost here. yes, sprite. not soon enough for us.

2:49 am

It'll come quickly, Rose and you won't know yourselves.

2:49 am

enjoy Rose and hurry back if you feel like it

2:49 am

night friends. if you are here when i get back, all good. if not, xoxox.

2:49 am

*hugs* dear one. Enjoy your dinner and hang in there.

2:49 am

Have a good evening Rose. Hugs.

2:50 am

lolol Fang moving in, now that's a thought

2:50 am

2:50 am

Taking a break here too - dinner almost ready. Hugs to you all :)

2:50 am

Sprite, sorry but I just cant see you as a bunny

2:50 am

bye Liz--enjoy too

2:51 am

2:51 am

2:52 am

night Joso

2:52 am

sleep well, joso, sweet dreams *hugs*

2:52 am

do you put up a xmas tree Sprite

2:53 am

no, not this year, pug. My husband and I don't really enjoy the whole bustle and the kids don't care right now. We are doing lots of candles.

2:54 am

I dont either Sprite, but I put out a few festive items---like hand towels etc

2:56 am

we dont have the means for gifts so we just skip the tree--and Iam not complaining for we dont lack the basic needs, but thats the nut in the shell

2:57 am

you never complain, hun. *hugs*

2:58 am

If I dont get out of here soon my cards are not going to make it on time---we just got another inch of snow last night and another storm coming our way this week end again

2:59 am

nasty weather, pug. So sorry to hear it.

2:59 am

Oh, no, puglet. I hadn't heard about another one coming.

2:59 am

Please, please be careful.

3:00 am

yesterday the highway truck just did come down our road but its still icy and I hate chancing wrecking the car if its not really important

3:00 am

brb

3:00 am

Iam afraid so Peach

3:01 am

just stay in, no need to risk wrecking yourself either

3:02 am

My sister has a doctor appointment monday and if its too bad I will just cancel because its just a check up---but Iam starting to get cabin fever--lol

3:03 am

I can imagine

3:04 am

do you have very much of the dutch china Sprite

3:05 am

no, not us, pug. None of it.

3:07 am

sorry, my little pug just came in from potting and she likes a big hoopla over doing her thing--lol and I get a flea job while she gets a whole body rub

3:07 am

lol, so cute

3:09 am

she loves to sit between me and the keyboard but her butt is a bit to chubby and she overtakes it

3:09 am

lolllll

3:10 am

so how are you feeling today Sprite==bright and perky

3:11 am

tired but rather ok with myself.

3:12 am

you got a busy day ahead

3:13 am

no, I always try to plan the days after therapy day so I can take it easy. Singing tonight. Am gonna do a nap this afternoon :) How about you? A stroll in the snow?

3:14 am

Iam planning on it----------you going out to sing xmas songs about the neighborhood

3:16 am

no, singing lesson. We will have a small recital on Dec 19. I will do part of Dana's Cold Cold Christmas.

3:17 am

you will have to make a recording one day and send or post

3:17 am

lol ok... am no good, so be forewarned

3:18 am

I cant hardly believe that----is your whole family involved in this too

3:19 am

and how is cara doing

3:19 am

just me and my girl. She has the loveliest, clear voice

3:20 am

does she look like you alot

3:21 am

dont know what happen to Peach, she said she'd be right back

3:23 am

just sent you pictures of my girl

3:24 am

on here or to me email

3:25 am

to your email

3:25 am

okay--going to go see--brb

3:29 am

she does look like you quite abit and shes a beautiful girl--watch out when the boys start--lol

3:30 am

does your hubby and kids know english too

3:30 am

oh, I will have to take a picture of her when she goes to the Christmas ball at school... she has this new dress, and high heels, and she looks so so beautiful...her father already said no way she is leaving the house dressed like that, lol.

3:31 am

pug, everybody in the netherlands does. Most know german too, and a bit of french. Comes from being a tiny nation, and historically always active in trade.

3:31 am

whats he planning on doing? escorting her----yes please do

3:32 am

escorting her? He wants to emigrate to the north pole, lock her up in an iglu until she is 30 :)

3:32 am

that sounds like a father--lol---are they close

3:33 am

yes, very. He is a wonderful father. And she is a great daughter.

3:34 am

thats so great! And Iam so happy for you. Iam very glad its the son you have the most trouble with--I dont mean that like it sounds--sorry

3:34 am

I dont know how to word it so it sounds right

3:36 am

I hope I didnt hurt your feelings Sprite

3:36 am

lol I know what you mean. Yes, Tim is the one acting out, Caya the one bottling things up. Better than the other way around, though it isn't easy on either of them.

3:36 am

you could never hurt my feelings, dear one, even if you tried. You are such a loving heart.

3:38 am

does your school have like sock-hops or prom dances

clue for the A in the top left corner and for the I in the bottom row please

3:39 am

don't know what a sock-hop is. No, we don't have prom dances. But we do have school parties. The one before Christmas is always very nice, with most students dressed up nicely.

3:40 am

sock-hops are dances that the school here has a few times in the year to raise money for different things

3:40 am

ai4/4 is for the top A, rhymes with hanging around killing time.

3:41 am

ah, ok, yes they do stuff to raise money for charities.

3:42 am

il4/4 for the bottom i, I think. I + first three of someone telling untruths

3:42 am

and switch the top A and you have another word there

3:44 am

are you about done here

3:44 am

fireflies. Guess it is time for me to climb Mt. Washmore and get dressed. :( I wanna go to jigidy but still down, they are checking the database now.

3:45 am

congrats Sprite! and have a WONDERFUL DAY! hugs a bunch

thanks very much for your help

3:46 am

morning Jenny

3:47 am

hi Jjenny, yvw

3:47 am

ok, off with me. *hugs* for you all and some extra for if and when rose comes back.

3:48 am

bye Sprite

good morning everyone. I have nbs and nbt and must now get on with some work!! so this is hello and goodbye

3:48 am

same for me and bye Jenny

5:10 am

good morning everyone

5:23 am

good morning Cross - though I am nearly ready to say goodnight

5:38 am

Hi all :)

5:40 am

good evening Liz

5:40 am

Evening, Lyn

5:40 am

Quiet here this evening.

5:41 am

Probably the clever people have already finished

5:42 am

Could be right about that. I usually like to leave some for tomorrow!

5:43 am

that's what I do too - hate leaving so many though - just not seeing enough words

5:44 am

Me neither - still have 78 left here. Don't know how some of the babblers manage to play right through the night!

5:44 am

Mind you, I'm still an hour earlier than you, so not giving up yet.

5:45 am

howdy,lynxx.was making some tea and toast when you came on:)

5:45 am

73 here too

5:45 am

Hi crossy :)

5:47 am

that is a perk about being aussie. You can start the grid before bed and when you get up,it is still the same grid. here of course the flip is 01:00 est,so, if you go to bed at night,you wake up to a new grid

5:49 am

I like the timing here - flip at 3.00 pm in our winter (your summer) and then at 4.00 pm at this time of year. I do some in the afternoon, when I get back from the gym, some a bit later on, some before bed and complete the next day. Very relaxed!

5:50 am

lol. indeed. here, when there is a tough grid, it becomes a case of "do I sleep tonight or finish this?"

5:51 am

Tough choice!

5:51 am

I do some late afternoon with a coffee then a bit more after dinner, leaving just enough to do with my coffee in the morning (and with the list at that point) before heading out - thats the plan anyway - except when they are monsters

5:51 am

then,for me it is bed at one am and up at 5 am

5:51 am

4 hours! are you serious?

5:52 am

I can never,ever,ever sleep past 5 am anymore

5:52 am

I aim to list as late as possible but must get at least half. That's my challenge. I just listed at 80, tonight.

5:52 am

the afternoon power nap has now become king

5:52 am

Wow! 4 hours!

5:52 am

why don't you go to bed earlier then?

5:53 am

it is a process. I find as I get older my sleep times are a disaster

5:54 am

tried going to bed at 9 pm once..was up at 1 am:(

5:54 am

Yay! k's complete!

5:54 am

yaaa!

5:55 am

Takes time to retrain your sleep patterns.

5:55 am

my cats are going insane.all cats are A.D.H.D

5:55 am

Feed them!

5:56 am

just did.that is why they are frisky

5:56 am

Ah! Don't know much about cats! Put them outside?

5:56 am

oops you remind me that I haven't given Stew his dinner (only small just to get his arthritis powder into him) BBS

5:56 am

Play with them!

5:57 am

nope.inside cats only.too many outside cats are lost to the road or coyotes here

5:57 am

yes.they need some good play time

5:57 am

That's fair enough. I think I have more understanding of inside pets. What's the point of a pet that's outside the whole time?

5:57 am

but after my tea and a bit of babble

5:58 am

Walking over the keyboard? So if rubbish comes up, I'll blame the cats.

5:58 am

loan

5:58 am

Ooops! Sorry.

5:59 am

I am having a bit of fun today at school. will be taking a suicide prevention course. they will train us to spot the behaviours and precursors and how to handle it . we will get a certificate at the end of it all

6:00 am

lol.cats can type better than I do

6:00 am

Useful course. Better than maths.

6:00 am

yup.day off of math,because my math teacher is taking the same course

6:01 am

some empty seats in the clas were offered up to the students. a 200 dollar value for free.i jumped at it

6:01 am

Observe the maths teacher carefully for suicidal tendencies! Have you driven them to think of suicide?

6:01 am

Seriously interesting, though.

6:01 am

do not know,but I may have to talk myself out of "jumping for it"

6:02 am

"Don't Jump!!"

6:03 am

make her think of suicide?? that is a riot. bet she has a whip fetish on the side.this class is fifty shades of algebra!

6:03 am

lol!

6:04 am

after a real hard test yesterday,i asked her if she does spankings as well

6:04 am

and her answer?

6:04 am

made her spray her coffee all over her computer monitor:))

6:05 am

she said perhaps,but I could probably not afford it

6:05 am

To misqote jbp - a coffee dragon!

6:05 am

At which point your coffee sprayed!

6:06 am

now,at which point I said "nevermind then,i get all the punishment I can handle from the mrs for free"

6:06 am

Good answer.

6:08 am

NBT for crossy

6:08 am

WTG crossy :)

6:08 am

oops,almost.small hint for a y or 2 please

6:08 am

Down to 60.

6:09 am

Missing one y here.

6:09 am

Another grid scoffed at by my pet rock.

6:09 am

ty again

6:10 am

Hi o-o

6:10 am

I had a pet rock once,but it had an attitude problem to I replaced it with a chia pet

6:10 am

Hello

6:13 am

problem was that the chia pet was in the caracture of Jean cretien, so I had to beat it to death with my pet rock

6:13 am

Vicious ending!

6:14 am

it was. Now with cannabis almost legal,i am thinking of trying a weed chia pet

6:14 am

:)

6:15 am

just give it a trim once a day with my beard trimmer and I am all set

6:15 am

would make it in the shape of Bob Marley

6:16 am

With hat to match.

6:16 am

but of course

6:17 am

crossy needs some Tylenol:( brb. got the results from the MRI yesterday and they are a mess,as I thought

6:19 am

at least now i know the best thing for me at this time is tylenol arthritis instead of tylenol 3,s with codene. the date with a neurosurgeon,however, is not what I was wanting to hear

6:20 am

Not sounding good.

6:20 am

What did the results show?

6:21 am

severe artritis in one of the sections,a severe narrowing of the area where the bundle of nerves go through and a vertical hole running the length of my spine(a birth thing)

6:21 am

he gave me the C designation numbers,but I forget them atm

6:22 am

Are they thinking surgery then if you have to see a neurosurgeon? And how do you feel about that?

6:23 am

i will consult with the neurosurgeon,get him to fill me in on all the risks of operating versus all the risks if i delay until i am crawling on all fours or can no longer hold my head up and decide

6:23 am

When do you see the neurosurgeon?

6:24 am

it is to be announced. here,all the big neurosurgeons are in the cities to the south, 200k away

6:25 am

Ah! So not an exciting prospect at all!!!!!

6:26 am

{{crossy}} a very gentle hug

6:26 am

You might consider wearing a halo brace

6:26 am

with todays technology,you would think that my doctor could send him all the x-ray,CT and MRI images and theat we could consult on Skype or something

6:26 am

are they talking about spinal fusion surgery?

6:26 am

Drive to Toronto or similar?

6:26 am

if you must be operated on get it done ASAP

6:26 am

{{lizlin}}

6:26 am

hi Ruby

6:26 am

yes,will most likely mean a drive to Toronto

6:26 am

Ruby - hugs :)

6:26 am

{{lynx}}

6:26 am

((ruby))

6:27 am

ok,enough of my whining and bleating like a sheep:)

6:27 am

how is my exotic French girlfriend? :)))

6:28 am

if you can't whine in here, who is? (like the old NYC trash campaign, "If you and me don't keep the streets clean, who is?"

6:28 am

45 left for tomorrow and that's enough for now. Time for a book! Enjoy the rest of the evening, Lyn and the rest of you, enjoy your days. Hugs.

6:28 am

lol

6:29 am

tc,liz

6:29 am

night Liz

6:29 am

bye liz

6:29 am

it continues to be bitterly cold here but at least it's sunny and no snow in sight

6:29 am

minus 12c here and a bit of snow

6:30 am

and baby moosegirl has gotten the most extraordinary coat

6:30 am

baby moosegirl??

6:30 am

she looks huge and fat, but not fat at all

6:30 am

Raffie is enormous for a not-yet-one yr old female

6:31 am

ahh,her winter coat has come in

6:31 am

it's the first one as she was born last January

6:31 am

lots of brushing i would imagine

6:31 am

I use a comb as too much junk comes out and a brush is useless, doesn't go deep enough

6:32 am

Major advances have been made in understanding neuroplasticity.

6:32 am

I met a very pretty 16 mo red chow the other day - with her friend - a black 6 yo but was a rescue, apparently mistreated quite a bit so had a few issues - poor love

6:32 am

my left biceps is huge, starting to look like Popeye

6:32 am

lol

6:33 am

was the red chow solid red or did she have other colors. I read recently that all chows who aren't black, white or "blue" are considered red, even if they're blnde like Rufie

6:33 am

not solid - shades of red going thru to more blonde - she was very very pretty

6:34 am

that's like Ruby (r.i.p.). Our original breeder called them shaded blonde

6:35 am

these two have many colors but wonderful white long tails

6:35 am

Yes - I remember her photo - similar coat

6:36 am

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

6:36 am

really - you must organise a photo of the two of them

6:36 am

Rufie's coat is stiff, straight and not so long, so he's easier to maintain and it truly magifique

6:36 am

is* (typing like a cat)

6:37 am

"so it goes" -Kurt Vonnegut. It neatly encompasses a whole way of life. More crudely put: "Shit happens, and it's awful, but it's also okay. We deal with it because we have to."

6:37 am

my cat can type better than i

6:37 am

I haven't rfead him for many years

6:38 am

there is a fluffy grey cat who hangs out in our driveway, looking at the birds but ignored by the dogs

6:38 am

he once said "the idiots i am teaching today will be running the world tomorrow" lol

6:39 am

that is a scary idea and, sadly, true

6:39 am

yep - and there is quite a few of them over here

6:39 am

Must of been a terrible teacher.

6:39 am

or something along that like. i may be paraphrasing a tad.

6:40 am

Do not know,o-o. was never in one of his classes

7:27 am

Doesn't he know it's best to let sleeping spouses lie?

7:27 am

phantom: lotion

7:28 am

Ugh. I hate that.

7:28 am

Where the heck did crossy go? There's a relevant phantom for him this morning....

Apparently not.

7:29 am

forgot how to add a Friend to My Friends.. can anyone clue me on that?

7:29 am

Hi o-o! TY for the clues!

I have to forgive him because he's on "vacation" and he's been getting up to put the kid on the bus so I can sleep in.

7:30 am

po 7/48 - one who rudely and repeatedly puts a finger in your chest

7:31 am

I'm the last one to ask about anything to do with Facebook, Aloy....I really don't like it much and avoid it most of the time. To me, it's just a lot of people with nothing to say, saying it constantly!

7:31 am

po7 -- or slowest dog :-)

7:32 am

no, not on FB Molly.. on this site.. "Help" only has the rules of the game

7:32 am

darn - already had that one - good morning folks

7:32 am

howdy river :-)

7:32 am

Morning, River!

7:32 am

Who's online tab, Aloy

7:32 am

Hi River!

7:33 am

And I forgive you for calling me Molly!

7:33 am

oh! tyvm, car !

7:33 am

you will be happy to hear my kitties are settling in....I roll over at night and am face to face with them

7:33 am

Snow is falling!!!!!

7:33 am

oops, sorry Mimi, obviously haven't had my second cuppa yet

7:33 am

nice!

7:33 am

aaawww :-)

7:33 am

hi River, nice to hear that about your kittens

7:33 am

must be heading my way then......

7:34 am

Awww...sweet, River.

7:34 am

they are not really kittens - 10 year old boys I adopted

7:34 am

their owner passed away so it was quite a change for them moving to a new house

7:34 am

but they are very sweet

7:34 am

Then old kittens...they must be beautiful...I love Maine Coon cats

7:35 am

All three of mine were strays. Love 'em so much.

7:35 am

beautiful Maine Coon Cats

7:35 am

Maine Coons are FABULOUS cats...so much personality and so affectionate.

7:35 am

all black with a small while medalian on their chest.....hard to tell them apart

7:36 am

Cats are the best

7:36 am

they are quite vocal as well - wish I knew what they were saying

7:36 am

Made up word: silon...an alien being from Star Trek.

7:36 am

Best get to the store before there is too much fluff on the roads! Back in a bit!

7:36 am

be safe

7:37 am

Cylons were from Battlestar Galatica!!!!

7:37 am

Take care, car, and keep warm!

7:37 am

bye, car

7:37 am

Mine is spelled with an s, so it's the Trekkie version, I guess.

Help with lower right I for nbt

7:38 am

I'm in a quandry....my mom is not feeling well today. I don't want to take her with me but I am hesitant to leave her. However, the store is right up the street. By the time I called and found someone that could stay with her, I would be there and back already.

7:38 am

is that i or L?

7:38 am

il 4/4

7:38 am

I need the lone i for NBT as well

7:39 am

boney word

7:39 am

If you're only going to be gone a short time, car, I would let her stay home...no need to stress her out getting dressed and going out in the cold.

7:39 am

7:40 am

I should just go and be done with it. You are right. Bye!

7:41 am

hallelujah, clapping now

7:41 am

how do you make those musical notes?

7:41 am

but there is no U or M to make it a hip bone

7:42 am

could be a plural

7:42 am

OMG....duh - thanks Aloy

7:42 am

You hold down Alt and use the numbers section to the far right and hit both 1 and 3 simultaneously, release the 1 and 3 and then release Alt. Sometimes it gives you a heart instead, but keep trying.

7:42 am

now have NBT and NBS

7:43 am

lol, ty Mimi.. may be beyond my skill level

7:44 am

it is snowing fast here. and it is the wet kind :(

7:44 am

No, Aloy---easy. I actually learned it from a Babbler but can't remember who...might have been sue.

7:44 am

went to the market early tho

7:44 am

Hi, peri!

7:44 am

hi peri - are you a snow fan?

7:44 am

NO!

7:45 am

I hate snow and ice.

7:45 am

ah, now I see your :(

7:45 am

it is at time like this that I think of moving to Fla or someplace warmer than here without snow

7:45 am

mid 80's here

7:46 am

Come to Phoenix, peri...we don't have weather...except, as I said, when Aloy comes to visit.

7:46 am

ok, just rub it in :)

7:46 am

worked outside yesterday.. have lots of fire ant blisters to prove it

7:46 am

we got 2 inches of snow yesterday that frose over and now expecting another 2 inches on top. My driveway will be horrible tonight.

7:46 am

I would love to go to Arizona. a friend bought a house somewhere in Arizona but I don't know where

7:46 am

But it is cold here now...only in the 60's during the day. I know, that's not really cold like you guys experience cold...I'm originally from Ohio.

Hold down Alt...then simultaneously with pointer finger and middle finger, hold down 1 and 3. Release the 1 and 3 first, then the Alt. But it must be done on the numbers only part of the keyboard with the Numbers Lock on...sorry...I might have left the Numbers Lock part out....

not working here either, and maybe it is bc I am using Expert?

Is that green box the penalty box? I never knew what it looked like

7:52 am

So glad to see all this music this morning...especially since dinner with my daughter went so well last night....happy, happy.

7:52 am

I am glad that it went well Mimi

7:52 am

(((Mimi)))

7:52 am

You have to keep the ALT key down while you press the numbers. ALT + 1 = ☺ ALT + 3 = ♥

7:53 am

Thanks, peri...yes, and she's taking me to my son's house for Christmas with the grandsons. This has turned into a wonderful year.

7:53 am

but I have been doing that, sigh

7:53 am

wonderful, Mimi

7:53 am

I don't think it works on MACs or laptops.

7:53 am

are you using the numbers key pad with the lock on?

I had just gotten an ad blocker too/

7:54 am

I must get breakfast now and back to work - have 100 left for later.....have a great day everyone

7:54 am

I have a laptop, Molly but I have a separate keyboard I use with a USB...that's probably the difference. There isn't a separate numbers sections on the laptop keyboards.

7:54 am

I'm glad, Mimi!

7:55 am

am on a laptop

7:55 am

Thanks, mael.

7:55 am

If you don't have a separate keyboard, you won't be able to do it because you need that separate numbers section, Aloy....sorry.

7:55 am

?

7:55 am

₯

7:56 am

I'm glad Molly figured that out before you drove yourself mad trying, Aloy!

7:56 am

just tried using the numbers to the right instead of on top and got a question mark, h'mm

7:57 am

yes, tyvm Molly , feeling less of a failure now.. ok phaeton!

7:57 am

I got a desktop keyboard and plugged it into a laptop USB port because I just cannot use the laptop keyboard, especially transcribing.

I did something and it;s ok again but I don't know what

7:58 am

Computers are like the little girl with the curl.....

7:59 am

sure would be helpful if there was an E next to that K!

7:59 am

If you do a Google search on "list of ALT codes" you will find out how to make many different symbols. Many of them do not work well with this small font.

7:59 am

computers epitomize resistentialism

8:00 am

Thanks, Molly! Going to check it out and play! BTW, good to have you back!

A note to you Amazon shoppers. Apparently, their site has been hacked and the hackers are sending people emails that "look like" they are from Amazon saying "your account has been suspended due to suspicious activity, please verify your information by clicking on the link below". DO NOT DO THIS. These emails are hacks to get your Amazon password.

time for coffee

8:02 am

Molly, do you know anything about liliann? She hasn't been around for quite some time and I've emailed her with no response...so concerned about her.

8:02 am

Lilliann often takes breaks from Babble. I'm sure she is fine.

8:02 am

ooh, am actually putting an Amazon order in today, so ty Mollys

8:02 am

Good to know, Molly...I shop with Amazon constantly.

8:03 am

Thanks, Molly. Good to know.

8:03 am

Molly that is

8:04 am

The Amazon thing is pretty scary because they have copied the Amazon logo into their email, so it looks legitimate.

8:05 am

That happened to me several years ago with Yahoo and I feel for it. Totally took my system down. My son had quite a time getting it working again.

8:05 am

Morning, all.

8:05 am

Fell for it, that is.

8:05 am

Good to see you Molly.

8:05 am

Hi, Bea!

8:05 am

Hi Bea

8:06 am

I now know that no matter how legit something looks, if they're asking for your password, delete them immediatly. If in doubt, call the company they're pretending to be to verify.

8:07 am

I have often forwarded those emails to authorities...may not help but perhaps some of them can be found and prosecuted.

8:08 am

that was the oakiest tasting wine.. stayed in the barrel too long.. won't work, rats

8:10 am

I tried it too, aloy haha

8:10 am

Watching a 65 pound boxer chase 8 the baby kitties around the house...He loves them.

8:10 am

To report the Amazon hack emails, copy them and send them to stop-spoofing@amazon.com. Don't forget to put the dash between stop and spoofing.

8:10 am

Gotta go get ready to get my blood test for thyroid issue as well as warfarin level...it's always something, right? I'll be back later to tell those who weren't here this morning how well dinner went with my daughter. HAGD and hugs all around.

8:11 am

Good luck Mimi!

8:11 am

Thanks, mael.

8:11 am

hope you have a good INR and glad you're getting the thyroid issue addressed.. tc, hagd Mimi, and check your email later

8:12 am

hello Molly, glad to see you...stick around

8:12 am

Will do, Aloy. My copy of the Huxley book arrives tomorrow...from Amazon, no less!

8:13 am

I love Amazon. I buy all my books from them at very good prices and in great or new condition.

8:13 am

iomn

8:14 am

I have been using Better World Books, great site and free shipping on all books all the time. both new and used books. for every book you buy they donate a book to someone in need.

8:15 am

There's another great site for books, Annie....it is alilbris.com. You an get books that are hard to find and out of print and many as low as 99 cents. Great for textbooks, too. I got a textbook 2 years ago that would have cost $125 at the campus bookstore for $8.95 at alibris.

8:15 am

copied both sites, thanks peri and Mimi

8:16 am

Peri, did you know that Amazon uses BWB as a seller? You can opt to buy it from them on the Amazon site.

8:16 am

I did

8:17 am

from what I saw now, I will stay with the BWB site

8:17 am

Now I'm really going....poof!

8:18 am

Good morning, all! Snow day - no work today!

8:21 am

Hee hee. Actually took call on the blue tooth in my new Subaru. Hands free!

8:21 am

looks like only a few inches

8:21 am

and that is enough for me

8:21 am

fat flakes falling

8:22 am

hands free is good

8:22 am

what kind of Subaru do you have?

8:22 am

Forester 2.5i.

8:22 am

we had the fat flakes already. small flakes now but not many

8:22 am

aw, nice care

8:22 am

8:23 am

the fat flakes were heavy. they are hard to shovel

8:23 am

4 x 4 and I am deprived of driving it in a snow storm. Oh, cruel irony.

8:23 am

wish I had a car like that. YOu could go to the market Judi if you need any food, etc.

8:24 am

I have a Honda Civic

8:24 am

Fortunately, I don't need to go anywhere. Will get lots of stuff done here at home tho.

8:24 am

I traded my Honda Civic for the Subaru.

8:25 am

and before that I had a Toyota Corolla. I remember driving to work, at that time it was a 5 minute drive, in an ice storm. it took me almost an hour

8:25 am

Judi, did you like the Honda Civic?

8:25 am

I like mine, Annie

8:25 am

nice little car, easy to handle

8:25 am

found an si8

8:26 am

I really did like it, Annie. However, with my back problems, it got too painful getting in and out of. I needed a higher profile vehicle.

8:26 am

higher profile?

8:26 am

I had a bigger car and SuperStormSandy took it. Leased the Civic and not sorry.

8:27 am

A car that sits higher up. So I don't have to sit down into a bucket. Too much back twisting.

8:27 am

that is what I thought it meant

8:27 am

Civics are not kind to bad backs.

8:30 am

President Obama speeches are works of art

1:39 pm

President Obama's

1:39 pm

hi crossy :)

1:40 pm

ursh, were you at Pres. Mandela'a memorial service

1:40 pm

they are indeed.One must be very careful when every word he utters is dissected for meaning,inferred and random and every nuance is squeezed out of it. and Mandella deserves the best that Obama can offer

1:40 pm

no Annie it was in Johannesburg and I live in Durban but was televised live

1:41 pm

yaaa! I have all the 8,s .ty min

1:41 pm

yw

1:42 pm

It was pouring rain and many of the statesmen attending were stuck in traffic for ages - bet not what they used to :))

1:42 pm

No, they are not used to being stuck in traffic.

1:45 pm

Unlike Mandela, being stuck in traffic is not like being stuck in prison.

1:48 pm

people will little note, nor long remember the names of statesmen who had the misfortune to be stuck in traffic;)

1:48 pm

true o-o - I wonder if they were as serene as he was at the end of it all

1:49 pm

how we face death is at least as important as how we face life

1:51 pm

my English marks are in btw, for those who were interested 88% :)) crossy is pleased;)

1:52 pm

88% is certainly a "pleasing" mark - well done

1:53 pm

tyty, so a 90% in computers,88% in English and now I just have to grind through the math until the second week of January then it is on to advanced English classes :)

Wow, great marks, crosshair, WTG!

1:56 pm

also picked up a "safe talk" certificate today. good for when suicide intervention is needed.

1:57 pm

and why would you need that?

1:58 pm

why not? It was a 200 dollar class offered for free and like I always say,you can never get too much education. you never know,may save a life some day

1:58 pm

OK - had no idea what you were talking about - that makes total sense and I applaud you for going above and beyond!

1:59 pm

pa6, 21, anyone?

2:00 pm

suicide is quite high in the 16-22 age bracket of late in this region.If one of us can spot the signs early enough,it will be worth it

2:00 pm

don't all yell at once now....lol

2:00 pm

hego...regional French language

2:01 pm

hi diz, ty

2:01 pm

2:03 pm

hi all. just had to go change grandsons diaper....sorry. his pants were a real mess and so diaper leaked all over.

2:04 pm

How lucky for you, mkg.

2:04 pm

so missed the 8s clues. got two of them: te and el. ty for clues. i see a si clue but dont get it. i dont see silliest.

2:04 pm

Through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be the pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see... [REFRAIN]: that suicide is painless it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. I try to find a way to make all our little joys relate without that ever-present hate but now I know that it's too late, and... [REFRAIN] The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say. [REFRAIN] The only way to win is cheat And lay it down before I'm beat and to another give my seat for that's the only painless feat. [REFRAIN] The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but... [REFRAIN] A brave man once requested me to answer questions that are key is it to be or not to be and I replied 'oh why ask me?' [REFRAIN] 'Cause suicide is painless it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. ...and you can do the same thing if you please.

2:04 pm

2:08 pm

2:14 pm

2:15 pm

il4

2:15 pm

yes, you remembered.

2:15 pm

it went ok,peri. they removed the spacers,gave me a bunch of needles,ground out the crack in the tooth with a drill to get clean edges,filled the crack and the chip,then hammered a metal band around it to hold it all together

2:15 pm

I am looking for a place of my own where I will not have to do any shoveling

2:16 pm

my kitties have the run of the house except for my daughters room. I keep her door closed while she is away at school. She can decide if she wants to let them in.

2:16 pm

oh dear, are you in any pain, crossy?

2:16 pm

ouch crossy

2:16 pm

and I just may have another G&T because I can. I will finish this one first

2:16 pm

it is not as bad as it sounds,there is some pain.the bigger thing is trying to get used to the way the teeth now sit against each other.it is an odd feeling

2:17 pm

we will have to start worrying about you if you go two fisted with the G & T

2:17 pm

I have a nice chilled chardonnay waiting for me at home

2:17 pm

you mean two g&T at once. no I will not do that

2:17 pm

Bye River and good luck to you.

2:38 pm

I never saw the entire original but I agree hego

2:39 pm

Peri, the poor girl cannot act at all.

2:39 pm

I thought it was good for being live and for not having Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews.

2:39 pm

that is what the critic said. she is a singer and some singers cannot act

2:40 pm

Being alongside Audra McDonald didn't help her either.

2:40 pm

Sorry, Christopher Plummer.

But loved Rex.

2:41 pm

2:55 pm

That is 20 minutes the scam artist is not fooling an unsuspecting person.

2:55 pm

Have a wind chill advisory. Why would anyone be chilling the wind?

3:18 pm

And why would they advise the wind that it could get chilled?

3:19 pm

Maybe the wind is getting all uptight and it needs to chill out?

3:20 pm

3:54 pm

3:56 pm

The gas company says they can't come down from Canada on the NY side because it's too environmentally sensitive. But come on down thru here and under our beautiful Lake Champlain. Use VT as a fuel colony for a Canadian Company to serve a n international business. One of the largest polluters

ty, lynx...

4:04 pm

We all can become Activists when something you care about deeply threatens to happen

4:07 pm

You're so right. It's just never been my thing. But I've learned from this that I'm a good organizer and motivator. Who knew all those years of mothering would prepare me for this fight.

4:10 pm

I know exactly what you mean. Yay you!

4:11 pm

Yay me.

4:11 pm

Thanks, lynxxx

6:47 pm

6:47 pm

Any thoughts about what you're going to video?

6:47 pm

my demo?

6:47 pm

i did it today

6:47 pm

took a video of myself reading a book to the kids...

6:47 pm

Yes, the demo. Did it go well?

6:47 pm

it was not bad

6:48 pm

overall i think it showed my strengths

6:48 pm

How old are the kids you teach?

6:48 pm

the kids weren't on their best behavior, but for that reason i also got to show my classroom management skills

6:48 pm

they're 3 and 4

6:48 pm

Do you think that's interactive enough?

6:48 pm

yeah it was an interactive type of book

6:48 pm

Ah! Good. Very interactive, then.

6:49 pm

it was a book called "busy fingers," and on each page the people are doing different things with their fingers, so i had the class try all those things

6:49 pm

now i just have to figure out how to compress my video

6:49 pm

At that age, most stories are interactive. The youngest I've taught is 6 - 7 and I remember how they loved joining in - esp. when I read Where the Wild Things Are.

6:49 pm

it's taking forever to upload

6:49 pm

I guess you could google that.

6:50 pm

yeah, been looking

6:50 pm

it's not easy to find much for linux

6:50 pm

Don't know about linux!

6:51 pm

Take it to a computer store - perhaps they can help.

6:51 pm

Or perhaps there's a computer chat forum for linux.

6:52 pm

You've probably thought of these things yourself!

6:53 pm

well, computer stores aren't such an option here

6:53 pm

but i am trying to just upload it to google docs... it's taking a long time but that could also be my connection being slow

6:53 pm

so i'll try to let it upload and see how that goes

6:54 pm

thanks for asking about my video :)

6:54 pm

how are you?

6:55 pm

Fine here thanks. Sitting around this morning because we're having the annual pest control thing done - spraying around the house and garden etc.

6:55 pm

Boring but necessary!

6:55 pm

ah yeah

6:55 pm

Any clues before I go?

6:55 pm

we've had some of that in the evenings a couple times here

6:56 pm

well i've only barely started, so i'd feel a bit silly asking for any clues at this point :) but thanks

6:56 pm

I guess it's what comes of living in a sub-tropical climate.

6:56 pm

OK - it's not a bad grid. The last 30 were a bit sticky for me. Good luck.

6:56 pm

:) thanks!

6:57 pm

Good luck with the job - if I don't catch you before! Have a good evening (is it evening now in Honduras?)

6:58 pm

thank you! it is evening

6:58 pm

have a good day :)

7:16 pm

good evening my friends:)) back for a few more words

7:16 pm

hi crossy!

7:17 pm

suze!!

7:22 pm

Ha, finally got an 8. Now I can go have a snack :-)

7:23 pm

battered haddock pan fried in creamery butter, sweet potato frittes and peaches and cream corn...

7:23 pm

mmmm

7:26 pm

good evening all

7:27 pm

howdy, teach

7:28 pm

hi wv!

7:29 pm

sounds yummy, crossy! What I actually have is some dried coconut and herbal tea.

7:30 pm

I cannot eat coconut,seems like I chew forever and am never ready to swallow it

7:31 pm

a box of macaroons lasts me a long time:)

7:31 pm

these are fairly large chunks, and only lightly sweetened, I really like them as a snack

7:32 pm

a good healthy choice for sure

7:32 pm

unfortunately there is almost nothing I cannot eat (although I am supposed to minimize caffeine as it has a bad effect on my blood pressure)

7:33 pm

I on the other hand have a tin of whole roasted cashews sprinkled with sea salt calling to me from the counter in the kitchen:)

7:34 pm

is regular black tea better over coffee with cafene? I cannot remember

7:34 pm

caffeine

7:35 pm

I think tea has a bit less caffeine than coffee but I drink decaf for both (also decaf green tea)

7:35 pm

** finito ** last word AN 6/18

7:36 pm

no green tea with the flavonoids is supposed to be good for you on many levels,but sadly, I cannot get used to it

7:36 pm

yay wv!

7:36 pm

yaaa for teach!!

7:36 pm

congrats!

7:36 pm

like fruity herb teas - right now enjoying peach passion

7:36 pm

I especially like the Japanese green tea with the roasted rice in it - there's a Japanese shopping mall about an hour away from us that has it in decaf

7:36 pm

I am having blueberry acai right now, wv!

7:37 pm

I am having a cuppa earl grey:)

7:37 pm

like the fruity flavors and also the aroma

7:37 pm

I'm having a glass of wine

7:37 pm

:D

7:38 pm

i'm having a bowl of cereal

7:38 pm

crossy has to dry out for a bit:))

7:38 pm

ah, Frank drinks almost nothing but Earl Grey, crossy, with milk

7:38 pm

sometimes he has English breakfast tea, or Irish breakfast

7:38 pm

I love earl grey tea

7:38 pm

hi welki and ruru!

7:59 pm

8:00 pm

I am well dan2bit. Had a snow day. No work for me today

8:00 pm

8:05 pm

can someone glue the io 6/7 words please?

8:05 pm

sorry pen, not me

io + weightless ( alt. spelling)

and plural

8:07 pm

tyvm...

ywvm :-)

8:07 pm

thought i had tried those...guess not!

8:10 pm

the second te5? thanks

not there yet, harpjane .... getting close though

8:11 pm

A te 5/10 is te4/4 plus a vowel and other is plural of te4.

8:11 pm

I came to this websi 4/4 this morning.I have given up on grid so now I will do a nice ge 4/6ure and give you a story of clues. I do not like to hang out with drunk people. I think they make a lot of no5/10 and are the no 8/40 people to have to be around. It really ge4/6 on my nerves when drunk people to 4/4 with the idea of driving when they are not at all po 5/12d to get in the driver's se4/4 & they would fail a sobriety te4/4. When you do not let them drive,they get really nasty and don't give one io4/4 about their behavior. It also ge 4/6 under my sk 4/8 when drunks start to cry out of the blue. I think that drunks should take no 4/4 of their obnoxious behavior before they start drinking again. Hubby op 4/5 to use computer so I need to st 4/5 babbling now.I hope you were able to get il4/8 of my clues & that you have seen more words with your ey4/7 to add to your li4/4. I'm going to get out of my se 4/4 & go do something el 4/4 like watch the movie Si4/8wood. I will be back later on toni 4/4 and st4/6 for awhile to chat & help give some clues.Bye for now

8:12 pm

I'm looking for a te5 that is BEFORE any of the te4's so it can't be a plural

8:14 pm

te + ***ison (someone who bridges the gap between two agencies, e.g.)

8:14 pm

or te + ***r (someone who tells lies)

8:16 pm

I have that one, still need one more

8:17 pm

exam + vowel?....

8:17 pm

not it

8:18 pm

te + ***ter (to hang around not doing anything)

8:18 pm

Good eveining Babblers.

8:18 pm
