and hello to norma and ron
Hi Grannyrose, i can see i am going to have to give up golf today to finish this one.
well if youdon't have mobile data on your mobile phone, yeah...no golf today. it took me just over 4 hours to complete.
mobile phone what is that,my kids reckon i`m a dinosaur tec wise.
have you had a good christmas ron? we were very quiet yesterday...but today, boxing day, different story. 28 of us picniced together...and that was only immediate family members, with a couple missing.
i bought my last mobile phone 10 yrs ago and it still works,got 2 one never used yet.
My son came over from Vancouver so we had breakfast together then he went off to his mothers for the rest of the day.
oh, dear...even i am more with it than that....i didn't say my phone is used for mobile data...as far as i am concerned, a phone is for making/receiving calls and messages...ONLY.
awww, ron....so you were alone for most of the day. i'm sorry mate.
No the wife and i sunk a couple of bottles of wine and i bbq,ed a leg of lamb for a change.
ahhhh, remarried then? ditto here. we almost did the same, except we used chicken...lol
great to be out in the rain with the barby going.
no rain here....in fact the weather has been most kind.
what did you receive for christmas? time off for good behaviour?
sunny today sofar back to gales tomorrow though.
ugh, ron. good weather to snuggle up with...
Present from Wife New leather slippers WOW! from son bottle of canadian rye whiskey and golf towel.
hello and compliments of the season to you both - please let me have the stats for the loan C on the left
cz4, urshy. and merry christmas, dear
goodness of course tx rose
which of course leads to tz4
ron, are you difficult to buy for? my DH buys himself 'presents' all year round, via the computer. one day i am gonna throw it in the creek, really i am.
yes urshy, and the ts4
no ways can I finish this grid today - taking a break from packing - we off to Mozambique tomorrow for a two week beach holiday with lots of family - so looking forward :)
No i think we have got most what we want,i buy from her bank account as her "surprise" prezzy.
oh, nice, urshy. do so hope the weather is good for you all, and enjoy, dearest
ty Rose very very hot here and will be a little worse up there
i'm still training himself...it's OURS dear, not yours and mine. *sigh*
Hi ursh we `are just back from Gambia not too hot there.only 25c
Hi all :)
DH completed my collection of bryce courtney books this christmas. am so looking forward to reading them all.
electronic banking is great as i run the accounts here hers is ours mine is mine.lol
{{LIZ}} hello dear
How was your picnic. Wonderful, I hope. Was the quad bike loved??
ron - we expect anything from 24 to 30C - we are going to be right on the beach so hopefully sea breezes will cool us down
Hello HELLO hello :)
liz, every one under the age of 20 loved it. deacon was so good about sharing.
Those over 20 should've loved it too! Did you take loads of pics?
Mozambique always seems to be at war?
and i got hugs from deacon and claudia, and lots of smiles from braxton. and yes, pugs, photos were taken. will load them into my profile tomorrow. btw, did you have a nice nap?
That's great that Deacon was so good at sharing. Lovely attitude. Obviously well dragged up!!! LOL!
439 words! But I have to work all day.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time Rose
Hi Pugs. Hope you had a lovely day and sorry I missed saying bye to you yesterday!
Hi Scrabbs.
now i have to buy one for my niece and claudia.
true ron - hope we dont get arrested as spies but the argument seems to be further north than we will be
And one for Braxton!
NO p Liz, Hope your day is swell
Have a great time ursh.
Struggling now with 147 left! Hope lickety comes on tomorrow morning but I've got Dee's list if I need it. No, when I need it is more truthful!
interesting fact in Moz - they have had a very large gas find just off their coast - so now the sleeping opposition party have woken up and want their share
Has Sprite already been on
Your holiday sounds great ursh - I'm sure you'll have a great time.
haven't seen her, pugs
Haven't seen her, pugs.
But I've not been here the whole time.
lolol, from my lips to yours, liz
Again! becoming a habit!! Not a bad one, either!
poor scrabs. hope you find some time to finish later, hun
I was on earlier and got sleepy from not sleeping so I left for awhile
No need to finish, just not enough time to enjoy typing away with words.
Duh! My 297th word was pe 4 - green veg! How come I didn't see that earlier?
maybe cause they are so small :)
Good answer!
Rose, you got your fws
Just found the French capital city and every meaning given is a Proper Noun. Love enable!
yeah, pugs. it took me just over 4 hours. ugh!!
TY, Liz
yw scrabbs.
well congrats! you were not on when I was nor when I left---you sure it was that long?
i couldn't believe 70 p words. that's mind-blowing!
300! Getting there!
Only have 42 of them so far!
thanx dear pugs
yahoo Liz!
I bet you are worn out --arnt you Rose
yes, pugs, looking forward to bed. not much pain, just tired.
How's the swelling?
And did I read that you've damaged a tooth, or have I made that up?
a good tired it sounds like! Cant wait to see the new pics!
much better, liz. am wearing the JOBstockings. they cover my whole foot and lower leg. 10-15mm of mercury pressure.
Liz, did you take pics of your birthday?
Yes pugs but they're not on flickr.
If you like, if Rose emails me your addy, I'll send you a couple.
i wish, liz. i fratured an eye-tooth christmas eve. no pain, no sensitivity to hot/cold.
But I won't take offence if you don't want to!
How many showed for your boxing day Rose
Oh Rose! Please make a new year's res to stop injuring yourself!
28, pugs, with 2 missing. it was great.
Sounds wonderful.
nncy96@copper.net
thats my email Liz
liz, i don't know how it happened. all i did was remove my plate to clean it, and the blessed tooth fractured. i'm hoping the dentist can glue it back into place.
did you have a huge picnic too Rose?
but on reflection, i lost a tooth similarly with each pregnancy, and that was with a dental clearance in the first 6 weeks. and each time there has been major stress in my life, another tooth has fractured.
so are you saying all your teeth are glued back together
pugs, i took along hot bbq'd chicken, and coleslaw. others brought mini quiches, meatballs, sandwiches, cold quiche slice.
lolol, no pugs. some were fractured too close to the root, and had to be removed. others i was able to have canal work done.
Iam so glad you had such a grand time with your family
OK I'll do that now. Pics sent and also to you, Rose.
and little tots make x-mas more fun
ths Liz
brb
then for afters, i took along a large tin of chocolates some-one had given me, there was also stollen, and a platter with white christmas, turkish delight, rocky road and rum balls.
Sorry as you can see, I wrote I'll do that now, then didn't press enter!
That sounds absolutely yummy!
oops, nearly 11:30pm here. i think i had better lay this weary body down. xoxoxox to you all. see you tomorrow.
Shame about your tooth, Rose - didn't know stress could cause tooth weakness.
dont it! I know you didnt try everything, did you, lol
Sleep well, granny.
Sleep well, Rose. Hugs.
night Rose, enjoy your sleep and will see you at the flip--hugs
sorry Scrabbler, I didnt greet you--but late hello
Hi Pug. I have been typing furiously and just passed halfway. Now I must get ready for work. I might return tonight.
I was awaken by my pug standing on my computer desk and taking her paw and scratching my head
Hope you have a quiet day, scrabbs
Haha.
Sounds cute but I bet it wasn't!
Hope your day at work passes fast for you--take care
well now that Iam up she sound asleep on the bed beside me==lol
OK about to email you a pic of us walking on my favourite beach.
good morning all! Welllll more like afternoon...
okay---I will go check them out when you are done---my computer is old and slow so it takes me a few
Howdy Sprite---didnt think you were going to make it--hugs
hi pug, didn't think so myself, thought you'd be long gone. But a HUGE grid today!
glad you are still around :)
Hi sprite - hugs :)
hiya Liz! *hugs*
well I didnt sleep last night so I left early and tried to catch a few winks until Annapooh decided I needed to be awake
And then went to sleep herself! So selfish!!! LOL
and you nor Rose or Liz was on :(
hahaha too true, dogs are like that
Iam now left with 173 yet to find
I went to see The Hobbit Part 2 this afternoon, so came on later. I loved it and now am upset that I have to wait another 12 months before Part 3 is released.
oh nice job!
WTG Pugs.
oh wow Liz, I just read your email and had not realised you had already seen it. Awesome. It is good, isn't it! So smart, what they have done with the story to make it better for the movie, without taking away from the real story and the thoughts behind it.
So clever! And the special effects were awesome. And of course, when I wrote the email, I hadn't seen it!
I will be rb--going to go look at pics you sent Liz
Smaug was so good!
I didn't dream of spiders when we came home, but it was close, lol. And those bees... they flew right into the audience, didn't they!
I sent pugs some pics from my birthday, that she asked to see!
oh I agree! Smaug was done so perfectly.
oh how nice, Liz :) So the two of you exchanged emails, love it.
Yes they did! And a couple of other times too - the butterflies, when Bilbo climbed the tree in the forest.
I love 3 D effects!
oh yes. And the bats, lol.
Funny though I kept finding links between that and Harry Potter - the good / evil thing and the spiders!
yeah, some of the themes in HP seem to have come straight from Tolkien. Of course, they are basic human themes, so maybe it isn't surprising.
That's what we said afterwards but for me, though the themes were in the book, the handling was similar in the movies.
I can see what you mean, especially the whole coming from all sides effects.
And then tonight we watched the Xmas Doctor Who special,which we loved! So a very "viewing" day!
70 p words? loll lol lol
Very glad we watched Part 1 first of the Hobbit, I mean!
Yes 70! And I've only got 42 of them!
lovely. I loved watching Little Lord Fauntleroy again. Such a dear movie.
hi Sugr, lol indeed.
It's really lovely, I agree.
Haven't seen it for many years though.
I try to watch it every Xmas. Even my son watched with us, even though it is a far cry from the action-packed movies he prefers. He like it and stayed with us for the whole time.
So a real family bonding time - that's brilliant!
am planning on watching Bridget Jones's diary tonight, lol... a real chick flic for me and my girl. And the guys will enjoy it too, even though they won't admit it out loud ;)
Bridget Jones makes me smile and laugh!
same here. She is so pure, so real.
It's a really warm movie to watch. You just feel for her!
so true. So am looking forward to it. Haven't put pressure on the family, if the kids want to go to their friends, they should go. But if they are home, Bridget it is.
Their choice. That's fair!
*smug* Greyed out the entire first column.
Liz! you are so lucky!!! and great pics--thanks for sharing and that cake looks so yummy! But theres something missing---your candles! lol
lol!
the one with only one Sprite?
Stalled at 302! Will probably leave it very soon and see if I can find more when I'm more awake!
that one, pug. Lol. Though entire first column sounds so much better...
lol pugs! I told my hubby I wanted candles but to be fair he did everything over the weekend, so I don't mind.
Almost 11 here, so time for bed I reckon. Enjoy your days and hugs to you both :)
sleep well, Liz, buzzing from good memories of a grand day :)
Sprite can you make a puzzle sometime like you did of the ones you done with, pugs or dogs or horses or cowboys or barns or you?
wow Liz just 11 more
of course, pug. Will be glad to!
night Liz catch ya tomorrow
good morning everyone:))
hiya crossy *hugs*
Howdy Mr Crossy--still living in a winterwonderland
((sprite)) I have a lovely 436 puzzle for you in jigidi,it is a pretty little stream near me that meaners underneath a split rail fence
till next may or so,puglet;))
meanders
Before I go, thought I saw you crossy! Boy, your puzzle is tough! About a quarter of the way through it and that's taken an hour and a half, but I'm loving it!
And now, good night!
are your puzzles under your name you use here Crossy
glad you are enjoying it,liz;))
I have already bookmarked it, crossy. Looks evil to me! Will tackle it later today. Am not a fast puzzler though, so it will take me a while. Don't understand how some people can do those evil biggies in less than an hour!
yes,they are,puglet
I have three at the moment,one easy, one medium and one toughies
okay Crossy
and I am still working on your owls,sprite
hehehe, ok crossy, hope you are having fun with it.
Ive got so many bookmarked because there are so many great ones there
it is a good site indeed
oh yes, pug, same here. Pages and pages of bookmarks already.
for me so far that china one has been the hardest
That one is kinda evil, true. Pug, I have sent you a link to a puzzle you might like. And I will make some for you myself later on.
thank you Sprite--not in a big hurry so dont feel you need to rush
yaa left hand column grey!
hehe
I done the horses(fire) and tulips and right now Iam doing a x-mas pug one of 500
same here LOL . . . howdy :-)
gasp...70 p words?
LOL Crossy..thats almost the whole dic. isnt it
88 s words..mien gott!
Hi Une
hey pug :-)
good job, crossy! I beat you to it though :P
hiya Une *hugs*
did you have a nice holiday Une
hey sp**** :-)
oh wow, I am in the grid! Hadn't seen it yet, thanks Une :)
:)) ((sp****)) is in the grid
had a nice visit with friends last nite but twas sad not to have my daughter here with me
couldn't she come, Une?
she and boyfriend just moved to Maine in August -- I'll be going up to visit in the sprint
first time she's been so far I/they couldn't drive
they are growing up, Une... *hugs*
they're having fun dogsitting in a nice house in Bangor with Michigan friends visiting :-)
thanks Crossy, I didnt see that either
sounds good :D
i know . . . and I keep reminding myself that "back in the day" when I was living in France, I didn't come home for a year and a half . . .
my poor mom!
yeah but it seems so different from the other side, doesn't it!
YES!!
birds must take wing and fly
:-D
I keep reminding myself as well. I tell my children to go and have fun with their friends and not feel like they have to be home with Xmas and New Year. But in my heart I want them to be home with us.
so true . . .
Now Sprite, think what you and yours can do now. You and him can date or enjoy a candlelight dinner or whatever you did before kids came along. :)
hehehe true, pug! And we do enjoy that.
I think sometimes couples has kids and forgets about each other.
am driving up to my hometown today (1 hr) to have annual Xmas lunch with my mom's caregivers and my mom's best friend -- they're all like family . . . I'll probably always stay in touch with her caregivers -- they were like family
oh that happens so often, pug, true. It is so important to find moments where you can be lovers and friends again and not parents.
I bet they really enjoy that Une
wow Une, that sounds so special!
pug, at my house it's me and 4 dogs LOL
I can see how that feels lonely a lot quicker than when it is two, Une.
maybe you will get lucky on this return home trip and meet someone special!!! You never know
I dont know--you can have people in the home and still feel lonely
one nice thing is that my ex, who lives here in Nashville with his wife and daughter, is now a friend -- after many years of anger and resentment . . . yesterday he came by and brought me wine and chocolates! :-)
oh wowowow. That is beautiful, Une. Good job of both of you!
why?
why? Xmas day
true, pug, it all depends on the people, doesn't it. *hugs* My dear friend, I wish we lived closer together.
sorry I should not had asked that--I thought he may be trying to win you over or hurt you
one thing that really helps is that his daughter and I have become friends, sharing a passion for animals and feeding the hungry
nooo, pug LOLOL
oh wow, that is special too. Love it, Une.
thats really nice Une
it's VERY nice -- after so many years . . . whew!
lovely to see it is possible. To let go of all the resentment and anger and remember that you shared so many good things once.
yes, sp****, and he's been very complimentary to me and to others about our daughter, saying it's all thanks to moi (puffing out chest LOLOL)
"i hear some owls hooting at me. back in a few..poink
(she was only 5 when we divorced)
ok, enough about ME!!! New topic, please! :-)
hah, recognition due, Une :)
lol crossy...
ooh I bet its cold out there in that outhouse Crossy
well I love it that we finally have a decent-sized grid on a day that suits a lot of people :)
what kind of dogs do you have Une
Hello everyone..am lurking mostly as it is a large grid :-)....Hope evryone is having a wonderful holiday season.....Une just want to say i really admire people who spend a lot of time rescuing animals (espeically dogs) as i love dogs.And i really enjoy seeing them on your icons through out the year.
Gosh that was a large post..sorry about that.
hiya zooz! *hugs* Hope you survived the busy day yesterday and got to enjoy yourself a bit too.
no need for sorry, zooz. You can fill the whole chog if you want and we will love reading about you.
Hello Zoom and I see you made it okay! no hangovers or illness
so close to resilient today :(
It was great thanks for remembering, Sp6 & puglet :-)
pugs, they're all rescues: beagle mix. minpin, bluetick mix, "brown and black dog" :-)
probably been asked many times, but clues for the c word?
ah I am glad!
No hang over..i took it easy in the end..hahah i am such a light weight teehee
Hi babs
hiya Babs, russian ruler.
CZ 4
hey, zoom -- thanks for the kind words :-)
do you work for the HS -Une or a private org
No probs..great job you are doing :-)
Babs same as the TZ4 too.
pugs, I just volunteer for any group that needs help with transport -- there are so many . . .
oh geez a fish! Thanks!
hey babs :-)
hehehe no not really a fish. Odd words in english.
hi une!
I would love to work for the HS but I dont think my heart could take it-----I did in my teens and it was so heartbreaking :(
I totally understand
so true, pug. The evil man can do to animals, it is baffling.
You have no ideal Sprite
The evil human.
oh but I do. Did my share of volunteering back in da days too and had to stop because I couldn't take home any more animals. And I couldn't leave them there either.
wow -- you never told that before
I might consider being a temporary home for dogs when the kids have left the house, later on. To get them socialised and more trusting again.
I thought about doing that but then I wouldnt want to give them up
that would be amazing -- and so kind and generous!!!
same here pugs -- I'm a "foster fail" :-)
would have to learn to give them up again too, pug, lol. But if they went to a good home... yes I think I could do that.
some places here wants you to take dogs to your home for the holidays and I think thats great but if you cant keep them , its seems kind of cruel to send them back to the HS
OMG! A monster!
WHERE!!
Teehe!
lol Bea! Yeah, it is certainly a biggish grid. Fun though!
I dont have enough money to save them all :(
who has, pug, who has... too many. But one at a time, it is better than nothing, I think.
there is a monster in the grid (Ru) lol-----just kidding Ru---
guess its kind of like the man on the beach throwing back the seastars
oh indeed, pug
That owl must of led Crossy far into the woods--lol
Ugh i still need 3 more Ps
he went to the jigidi site for the owls puzzle, I think, pug
the Ps are so many!
Did you post an egg one today on there, Sp6?
zooz, yes I did, somebody asked for a small version of the one I posted yesterday.
and the s'es and the t's and the r's
Thought so.
did you get the egg ideal from OO ---sp?
no, from the dragon one. I thought I'd put a dragon egg in the dragon puzzle and then I saw how many great pictures of dragon eggs there were, so I decided upon a separate puzzle.
Is new year wed. for everyone
not sure, pug. I think the chinese and the Jews have different new years?
is it wed for you SP
yes pug, for the western world it is on wednesday. We get to it on different times though. Our rose will be the first to skate into the NY.
could someone clue the single please?
hi rolin, the russian ruler Cz?
CZ4 & ZA4
oooh of course...ty
or the za king of the TV?
Hi Rolin
You have special plans zoom and SP for the NY
Wow, Rose is skating from Australia to NewYork??
no, not at all, pug. Were thinking of doing some fun home stuff, but my girl came to me yesterday to ask if she could celebrate at a friend's house and I said yes. I believe Tim will be out with friends. So it is just my love and me... And Terra. And I bought Terra a very hard cookie in a Kong, so he will be distracted from the fireworks. Not that he minds much.
wow! I might see her on tv--lol
Not for me, Puglet,will just watch TV .
lolol zooz
hello everyone
hiya Annie *hugs*
Hello, Annie :-)
Hello Annie
did you have a good day yesterday?
jumping in, too.. hi all
I will be get together with friends to bring in the New York. We have been doing this for many years.
My NY sounds about like yours Zoom
Hello, Aloy :-)
hi Aloy! Terra says hi and wags his ta4.
Talking about New York (LOL)...New Year
Hi Aloy
how lovely, Annie.
do you go down to the square, Annie?
Aloy, The last and only time I went to Times Square I was 16 or 17...it's only for the young but great fun. Standing for hours and hours. I now see the ball drop from the TV in my friends den.
My six year old grandson put all his gifts into two piles. The "Totally Awesome" pile and the "Okay" pile.
(-: g choice
Yes, Puglet, for some reason i have never really been bothered about new year day..to me it is just another day.
Hi Bea
pug, did I ever tell you that Aloy is Terra's godmother?
Hi Bea, I hope some of your gifts made it to the awesome pile. That's so cute.
Bea, that is priceless :)
No SP
My mother has a tradition where on newyears day she would open the front door and the back door..to let in the new year and out with the old...i have my own home now..and i say it is too frikking cold to open both doors at the same time.
.. and sp6, I can't remember what a kong is..
roflol zooz! too true!
zooz, LOL...open a window
thats cool, zoom
Most of Grandma Bea and PaPa's gifts went into the "Totally Awesome" pile.
too cool!
Bea, Great!
hahaha children..funny how there minds work...that is probably the childs way of saying..the play pile and not playing with these one pile.
was that passed down to her Zoom
a kong is a hard plastic toy you can fill with food. The dog has to work to get to it, it challenges his mind and makes him more satisfied with the amount.
going to get more caffeine
they enjoy categorizing
I think so, Puglet, Although i am not too sure.Will have to ask.
oh, ty SP6, now I remember.. daughter had one for her pup
Socks, underwear, pajamas, and a blanket were in the "Okay" pile.
I like that Zoom--I might just start that myself and see if it makes a different
we give Terra his dinner in one now. He loves it. Takes him about 20 minutes to eat it all, in stead of inhaling it in 20 seconds.
He has a very analytical mind, Aloy. So everything is categorized.
lol bea, those aren't presents to a child, indeed. Utility items.
and.. good for the teeth too, great idea
he probably likes math, Bea.. in first grade or K?
Yes, Sp6. And Grandma Bea didn't get him any of those things. =)
Sounds like a very smart child, Bea :-)
yes that too. Healthy toy, all in all
lol Bea, thought so! Grandma Bea did well!
when Gradyn was 3, he was given a longish box with clothes in it from his grandparents---he tosses out the clothes and climbs into the box all excited claiming he now has a boat--lol
lol wtg Gradyn!
He is in kdg. He loves math. He is doing multiplication and division now. Telling time as well. He is reading at a 2nd grade level and is a whiz with a computer.
4 hours and 28 minutes into the owls..boy am I rusty
Teehee..typical 3 year old lol
wow a very smart child, bea. Won't be easy to keep him challenged.
Hello, Crosy :-)
yay crossy! Good job!
howdy,zooz
?? great horned owls?
inquiring minds want to know
some evil owl jigsaw puzzle created by sp 6/21
a composite picture of many owls, Aloy, made into a jigsaw on jigidi.com
in jigidi
If he has a computer, he will be entertained for days.
ohhh.. have never tried jigid
jigidi, i.e.
it is quite fun,aloy
it is kind of addictive, Aloy. And I discovered I enjoy creating puzzles for it.
hehe,liz is buried in one of the one I have created;)
.. taking notes, as if what I need is more computer! Santa brought me a "fitbit", so now I'm encouraged to be less sedentary
I will do yours later today, crossy. The streamlet one. Looks totally evil!
oh wow, Aloy. Good intentions :DX
using liz as a guide,she is 1/4 into it at 4 hours
sounds like a puzzle that one should do by shape and not by image
we shall see, she says as she sits and Babbles
well,she asked for a toughie and that is what she got
my one of the ship is more easy going at 290ish
*grins* You can do it, Aloy.
good morning Babblers, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
good morning,nono:)
I think your icon pic would make a toughie Crossy
hi Nan.. hope you did too
ate too much,drank too much,laughed a lot.was nice
Hi Nono
hi Nanette, it was very nice here. Hope the same for you!
Hi nono :)
it would indeed,puglet
Hello, Nono, I hope you too had a wonderful Christmas :-)
Mine was wonderful as well and like you crossy, I ate way too much
good thing is I do not have to cook for days,there are so many leftovers
am ecstatic that I didn't ruin the crown roast of pork, lol.. first time I fixed one
Crossy, are you planning on a bacon puzzle? lol
wow good job!
Nice work, Aloy.
Good work, Aloy!
lucky you I dont do that sort of meal for Christmas, I keep it simple... steak baked potaoes a vegie and salad so no left overs at all
i am indeed,puglet!! great idea!
Almost everything I made yesterday turned out wrong.
aw poor Bea :(
awe so sorry bea
aww, I feel for you Bzzn, been there
Good thing I wasn't doing the turkey.
((Bea))
Wowza! big board
poor bzzbea.here,have a crossy breakfast
hi beach, yes it is. A fun one too.
I hate times like that Bea---think we all have days like that
i know the perfect puzzle!!..brb
Hi beach
welcome aboard, beach.. it is a fun one
Thanks, crossy. Breakfast was the start of the downhill slide.
It flows nicley, Beach, down to 87 already!

mine was good.. quiet
Bye, Puglet.
Sorry i can't help, Nono.still need a few from that one myself....Sp6, I still need 2 Ps..lol
Is there a list somewhere?
good morning all
morning, teach
Molly posted one, ty Molly
Not sure, Annie, but Dee normally has one.
thanks Aloy and thanks to Molly
Hello, Teach.
mm,too bad. you can make puzzles out of pictures,but not out of screen shots it seems
i have Dee's in my profile
I wish I knew what to clue you, zooz. Do you have the white face + vowel one? The batteries without the 3rd letter combo? The P + leftovers from a fire?
Ahh good..at le5 i know where to go if i need it.
crossy, you can if you put them in the right format.
Teehee..it will be ok, Sp6y..i will list at some point i am sure...but many many thanks :-)
hiya teach!
it is a pitmap (bmp) image at this time. you know how to change it, sprite? this is a older screen shot and i cannot go and get another of it.i have to work with what i have
bitmap*
Sp6..have you ever pulled muscles while you are asleep..and when awoke in pain for a long time ( no rudde jokes please..lol)
try Save as and then check if you can change the format there. Or load it in GIMP and export it as a JPG.
Surley you can still change it too a JPG?
trying to
crossy try to save it again but as jpg
brb, bagel time
remember,this is not something i can go and capture again.i have to work with this image only
Open itin a dif program..and then save.
Enjoy your bagel, Aloy :-)
will try that zooz
zooz, yes I have. Very unpleasant. Rose advised me to take magnesium malate and it works wonders. You might try it too. About 2000mg in the evening and if you have pain in the morning, another 1000mg. After about 3 weeks you can lower the amounts.
if you save it again as another format, crossy, you will have 2 versions. The old one stays unchanged.
damn..
crossy?
Well i have torn my rotary muscle in my shoulder..i thrash around whilst asleep (nightmares) been in agony for about 5 months..went to doc...he injected steroids..killed my shoulder for a few days...that was about a month ago..and last night i woke up in agony again..think i have damaged it again...I think i need strapping down...lol
think i may have it...
poor zooz:((
I have written it down, Sp6..will ask at chemists.
poor zooz! Try the magnesium malate. It helps the muscles to stay more relaxed and that really makes a difference. I have lots of nightmares too :(
I know you do (..thats why i thought i would ask you...stuff the PB..i think names should be exempt :-)(Sprite))
hehehe *hugs zooz right back*
crossy is so excited! made one just for you sprite.it is a 336 size
oh lovely, crossy! *checking*
i made a jigsaw out of an old image i took of the 744 babble grid:))
bookmarked! Lolol thank you crossy! I will do it. Still have my own screens to make into a T-shirt one day.
That sounds cool, Crossy!
Yes i was thinking of having a T-shirt with a babble screen and the words i am a babble addict above it..lol
cool zooz :)
Need another cupper...just going to boil some water.
fireflies. The last few were nasssssty!
wtg, Sp6! congrats!!
yaaa for sprite!!
great! sprite
lovely grid and lovely company. Thanks all. Am off to do crossy's jigsaw of the streamlet. *hugs* and enjoy the day after Xmas.
tc, hagd and good luck with that puzzle!

pretty easy grid considering the size.
easy for you o-o. Here I am at 2 PM and only 115 words
wohoooooooooo fireworks :)
woot Anita
poof im gone at last
Hi Bich, easy is a relative term. : D
Hi Molly. The grid is easy, but with no list, it takes a long time. I have Dees list thoughg
I'd call the grid a friendly monster but there is no way I could ever finish
Happy Christmas, Molly!
Hi ruby. Happy Boxing Day
hi bichon. How was the movie?
Way overblown. Peter Jackson can do that to you. Lots of stuff in it which never happened in the book. Grump
Evangeline Lily, the actress from "Lost" play an elf chick who's great at battling
that's too bad, bichon, I haven't seen the movies or read those books
You never read "The Hobbit". I thought everyone of our generation read it. Did you read Hermann Hesse books when you were at Queens College?
I'm afraid not. I was reading Russian novels and French symbolist poetry
I think I missed a lot
Oh, you were one of those <ggg>
you are younger than I, bichon!
that's it, ate in the small cafeteria with the "out" group
I just went to the bathroom and came back to find Murphy my foster dog standing on top of the kitchen table. He is now visiting his crate.
I'm only a few years younger than you ruby
how did he get up there?
Dog ingenuity. He either leapt or used the chairs.
my dogs are both wet and filthy from this protracted rain and the accompanying mud
they want to be petted but \I don't think so.....
Ugh. mine are getting groomed tomorrow and I need to brush them first.
try to picture an 80 lb chow on the table! ahah
250 words and I give up
Good night
Bon soir
how did dee ever do this grid without a list.. simply amazing
what a brain that woman must have for puzzles.
dee is amazing, and she does it all the time
I second that, Dee is amazing.
When I first started Babbling I believed that some of youse guys had a computer program which did these in a jiffy
I'm not a youse guy :D
I am a youse guy : D
youse guys is a collectiver term for a bunch of people, amle and female and transgendered alike
I don't finish in a jiffy :D.. I plug along
youse guys, Northeners y'all, Southerners
hi doren
hi, i
hi,
i'm hoping lickety will come along sometime in the next six hours or so... would certainly help this along
molly is a youse guy ? :D
that's me, a Northerner. There's a very good quiz at the New York Times Opinion page where you can take a dialect test [from Harvard] and it will tell you where you are from
I don't even think I'd finish even with Lickety's help
there is a list in molly's profile doren that i used for my last 18
i dunno, isn't she south of the mason-dixon line?
out here we're Dudes
and dudettes
Yes, but I think Maryland falls in with Northeastern speech patterns.
I got down to 18.. but no further..to many weird p's
it's nice to know that Dee can always come up with a list, but when they're this big, it just takes forever if they're not entered in alphabetical order.
too many that is
cannot believe that i'm missing 30 p's still... there must be a lot of weird ones
tons
I think her list IS in alphabetical order though
Yest it is. Just cut and pasted from My Word List
yes, i know... just mean that the words I have already found are nicely placed in alphabetical order within Lickety's list... not so with the others.... takes time to figure it all out. but i will do so if i need to
If I get half way, I'll be happy. What's weird, Dee isn't even at the top of the leaderboard
i'm down to 154, but that's a long way to go still
I put Dee's list in an Excel document and try to fill in as I solve the grid. I agree with Dorens though, it is much easier when you have Lickety's list that puts them in order for you.
how many words today?
439
wow
yeah.. and a lot of the tiles don't even have a word
there's only one word from the left column
well the p has enough to make up for all of them
it sure did.. it was the bane of my existence for a while
more eses
this is true o-o, however i am not missing nearly as many s's, they seem to be easier (for me at least) to find
more r words
yes o-o, once again this is true, but.......
more T's too Doren :D
zapster is not a word?
amazing that youse (that's how they say it in Northwest Jersey) would rather sit and count up tiles than try to finish this monster and get on with life
ROFL
I am done.. I'm just here to mercilessly rib people who haven't finished yet
nor its plural Kap,, who'da thunk it
oh ru, you are truly merciless
:D HA
merciless rib.
of course you'd clue too, but who knows what to ask for???
I'm here to clue too.. I have adjustment time still here
found all the A's. 84 left
hi all
welcome back peri
hi peri. i'm down to 130 and think it's time for a break.. hoping lickety will save me sometime in the next few hours
..dreamer..
my muscles are a tad sore from exercise class but I am sure I will be fine in the am
hello all. How many words in this puzzle?
439 jubi
omg!
no, he sometimes comes on sometime between 6 and 8 o'clock my time after I've done all the hard stuff I did a killer exercise class this morning peri, but i don't expect to feel it till tomorrow
tails
dig in jubi.. it's fun
afternoon all
yup, that's one of them, jubi :)
LOL Jes
oops
hi jes
did you conquer it la4/4 night after I quit, Ruru?
hi Dorens
no.. i pooped out.. I finished a little while ago
I got to 50 and stopped.. then it was a grind
Big words?
there are 13 8 letter words
47 7 letter and 13 8 letter, jubi
some ..mostly 7's and 8's
that's supposed to be 49, not 47, sorry
49 7's
not to rub it in .. but...
:D
no, ru, rub harder. that muscle needs worked anyway.
:D
i think you are better at this than I am - i will be stalled out before 100 and looking for a list. I'm impressed you made it to 50 before you stalled.
I missed a lot of the starter 4's.. I got the larger ones first in this grid.. it's weird that I missed so many of the little ones
i've still got 30 4's floating in there unnoticed somewhere, but only have 2 of the 8's and 15 of the 7's found
Most of us are kind of lost at sea with a big grid like this and no Lickety for guidance. Unless, you know, it's like...easy for you.
Never easy for me
VolleymomDee has a list in her profile
fortified with new cup of tea... at 130, maybe I can get down to 100... (wishing people were asking for clues for the 8's!!)
Yep. I have Dee's list in my profile as well.
ty Molls for Dee's list. I am plodding alone. 65 left. almost done with the P words
Good afternoon, all.
Hi Bea, how goes it with this grid?
Not yet half way. But it is going quickly.
Been busy trying to get some household chores done most of the day. Time to relax for a while.
I need to brush the dogs before the groomer gets here tomorrow
Isn't that like cleaning up for the maid?
That's like cleaning hte house before the maid gets there.
Snap.
I'm just guessing Bea. I've never had a maid.
cleaning up for the maid means putting things away, which the maid(or housekeeper) can't do, so she can clean the surfaces on which they've been flung, which she wouldn't do if the things were still strewn about. I pay someone twice a month to do the heavy cleaning, and I want her to do it without impediments. I have never, nor will never, think of her as a maid.
I would love to have someone come in even once a month
I am missing three pa words and about 58 other wors
we had a housecleaning crew come in twice a week when both Hubs and I worked.
it certainly helps... have had it ever since my back surgery and would be very unhappy to lose it
Twice a month.
At first I was a little put out that Hubs called a crew. I got oer it pretty quickly.
hi all hope everyone had a merry xmas
<---now has to clean his own house :D
I would get over it pretty too, if I could afford it
I could totally GET over it :D
I have to clean our house now too, ru. All 3600 square feet...
it's easy to adjust to, but I can't stand it if she's here when I am here. Feel strange having her around... much better that she comes while I'm at work. Feel guilty if I sit down and babble while she's washing the floor
"Maid" ...older term for housekeeper. Sorry to be politically incorrect.
done with the P words, YAY me!
just r, s and t words left. 59 of them
hoe do you get a list in someone profile so you can print it
Copy and past to a word doc, mag.
LOL Doren.. guilt while babbling
pa5/12 i mean
*slides the penalty box popcorn to Bzz*
common occurence around here.. guilty when there's so much stuff needs doing and I'm just babbling away, oblivious to the chaos of my life. More intense guilt if someone is here cleaning my toilets
I could do with a "french" maid actually :D
yes, but WHAT could you do with a "french" maid???
*And I've had to give up popcorn...sigh*
have a spiffy house Doren.. of Course
Speak French to her.
of course
oui oui
while she's saying, non non?
lol
That used to be part of my email address...ouigirls

Only 37 more Ps to find
FML !

*says hail mary*
*waits for the censors to descend*

Groovy then, how is the weather and your dogs and cats?
Clue for the lonely C word

Russian ruler
oh for cr*p sake
thank you & fish me
I kept trying to make S the second letter, what a moron
Is the first pa4 the bucket?
yes
Then it is pa5 plural bucket. What is the next pa4?
I'm lost in the P!
is it the one that is 2
two of something?
my next pa4 is two of the same
That what I am thinking, but what is the pa5 that follows?
pa & the w*** owl
first three letters of the bucket plus **t the table
P overload! P overload!
Thanks! Maybe I can get back on track...
*begins meltdown*
done!! took 6 hours and 22 minutes to do sprites owl puzzle on jigidi.Know why it took 6 hours? i movde the entire puzzle and hour ago and found about 15 pieces hidden underneath:))
moved
after i found those, the final 50 or so went smoothly
back for my 40 last words
yay for crossy
crossy are you done this grid or the jigsaws?
I am stuck in the re words
crossy, how do you turn the pieces so they';; fit?
*they"ll
you never have to turn Bichon
They don't rotate, bichon.
they will fit ,bichon,there is no flipping involved
done the jigsaw,not the grid,peri
ow do you get them to fit if they're lying in different directions?
oh, ok crossy
drag and drop,no flipping required
jigsaw puzzles give me a headache
they are all upright as it were
ok
but I can do the ones for kids :)
you can make them with as few as 12 pieces and as many as 400+
oh, ok, may give them a try then
12 I can do :)
i am just here for the chat today.grids over 350 i leave alone
i have a nice 130 piece for you,peri.it is a lovely picture i took of an antique wind driven pump house on a old farm near here
where is it crossy?
and the piece do not rotate?
just go to jigidi,click on puzzles,then click on by user and put my name in
they do not rotate,they are all upright
ok
missing one p and one s -- like looking for a needle in a haystack. Time for lunch!
so,much easier than a real puzzle
I am not sure that is easier or more enjoyable than a puzzle you can actually touch - but it is certainly much easier than needing a whole table to do it!
i have some puzzles on jigidi too, my username there is uusue
and hi all!
hi sue, how are you? and Frank?
hi Sue - your icon today would be an amazing one
hi peri! We are good, and Frank's PET scan was clear so we are very happy :-)
i will keep an eye out for some of yours as well suze
hi lynxxx, I hadn't thought of that! Mine are all pictures I took myself.
yaaa for frank!!
great news!!
That is fantastic Sue
so,why the slight rise in tumour markers last time?
wow suze! you made some tough puzzles!
we don't know, crossy, they will continue to follow it and we will see the oncologist in February
what is a tumor marker?
and I did indeed, crossy, tried to pick pictures that would be both challenging and interesting
finished the R's. just 20 S words to find!!
tu 7/40 - add a paint thinner: tu***ntine +definite article: **e; pl
hi bichon, in Frank's case it's something called carcinogenic embryonic antigen (CEA), it is put out by rapidly growing cells
Normal CEA levels are 0-3 in some units; Frank's was 3.5, then 4.6, then 5.0, so they were concerned and did a PET scan, but no tumors showed up
so either his CEA level is normally high and was just returning to normal after the chemo (he's a former smoker, and they tend to have higher levels), or there are tumors forming and they're just too small to be seen yet (my personal worry), or there's some other reason why it's doing that
think i shall try your palm trees in Isreal after my current one ,suze
well,you got a clear report and that is very good indeed
sounds good, crossy - they were pretty amazing to see (the palm trees in pots, that is)
hi 313 to go....
hi Harp
11 S words left
the last pe7/8?
like the small flashlight previous but with a different cons in the middle
thanks
pr7/8?

Just s and t now and 24 to go! This will be the largest grid I've completed! Yay me!
Have to say Lickety came on when I was at 90 or so - thank goodness for Lickety!
But otherwise I'd've used either Dee or Molly's list and they are wonderful for sharing them!
Good for you, Liz.
I'm down to 99, taking a break
Hmm! sp 4 / 10 - would never have tried that word. It's really offensive in the UK and possibly here too!
less so in US - it's mostly a kids teasing kids word here
Also a teasing word, but still offensive.
