Yes, Rose - why?

12:38 am

No fires here.

12:39 am

How's the heat where you are?

12:39 am

just making sure there are no fires near you, dear. we're okay, but i have extended family, most elderly, stuck out in rural victoria.

12:39 am

not hot here liz

12:40 am

kinda cool actually

12:40 am

egad, liz...our KITCHEN floor is hot...

12:40 am

Not too hot here either Ru (about 30 C) but very hot where Rose is and lots of fire threats

12:40 am

*!* ta da *!* -- good night, all :)

12:40 am

When's the cool change due?

12:41 am

Congrats nan, sleep well.

12:41 am

liz, 12 of our 60+ fires were deliberately lit.

12:41 am

WTG NAN!!!

12:41 am

That's horrendous Rose :( Can't think of words bad enough to describe those people.

12:41 am

*checks Don's temperature*

12:42 am

liz, supposed to be here already. we still have the second highest temperature in melbourne. coldstream is the highest.

12:42 am

Hope it comes soon for you - I read that the temp should drop 15 or more degrees in 40 minutes.

12:42 am

i'll have you know don's temperature is fine...i checked it this morning...

12:42 am

Just reading about the Grampians now.

71 words, nbt, nbs, and all the 6s and 7s. Clues before I turn in?

12:43 am

And the other fires too.

HI, Liz and Grannyrose.

12:43 am

nice work, melon.

12:43 am

Hi Melon - WTG - still missing lots of 6s and 2 7s! But I'll get there!

Thanks. It was good therapy, too.

fireworks

12:44 am

*hopes granny had a temporal thermometer*

12:44 am

Are your relatives safe, Rose?

12:44 am

*poor don*

12:44 am

Congrats, Dee.

ty, liz

12:45 am

fw and off to bed, goodnight all

12:45 am

The fires are so widespread - so awful.

12:45 am

congrats Flosey - sleep well.

12:45 am

ty z;ox

12:45 am

night flosey

OK, to bed. I meet a lawyer who is helping me secure guardianship re: my son. My son did call me after 48 hours in the hospital. He sounds better but the road ahead will not be easy.

congrats, flosey. Have a nice sleep!

12:46 am

ty Liz and ru and Dee

12:46 am

and congrats Dee

12:46 am

Good luck with that, Melon - read about it the other day. Tough for you. Sleep well.

ty, flosey.

12:46 am

hello and WTG DEE!!!

Hope you get the answers you need, mel.

ty, rose

12:46 am

WTG FLOSEY!!! and i hope you rest well, dear

12:47 am

awww, melon, prayers being said for you hun, and your son.

Thanks, Liz and VMD. I think it will go OK. I had just initiated case management for him from what I consider to be my area's best provider, and they are already talking to the hospital. He may be discharged directly to one of their group homes, some of which are in or near our neighborhood.

tx grannyrose.

12:49 am

liz, at the moment, but the fires are all around them. am trying to get through to their sons and daughters, but not wanting to jam the phone lines.

heh, tadah is not a word!

12:49 am

Will be thinking of you, Mel - and your son of course.

12:49 am

Assume they have fire plans?

12:49 am

ruru, not telling, so there..lolol

Thanks everyone. The Vicodin and Benadryl (body aches plus stuffy nose) have kicked in, so I shall poof on out of here (;

[poof]

I am sure the group home setting will be very beneficial; sounds like a perfect opportunity for him.

gn mel

12:50 am

12:50 am

Pug -- are you seeing the Dane head in my icon? I can't get it to show up for me.

1:41 am

Been happening.

2:04 am

no trouble, pugs!

2:04 am

2:04 am

hello everyone. Pugs I just looked at the Dane puzzle and it looks very hard. I will try it and see what happens. Jilli thanks for posting it.

2:05 am

no, dear, many kilometres away from us. about 4 hours drive. so for me all is good

2:05 am

good Rose

2:05 am

brb

2:06 am

about 21 acres, pugs

2:06 am

i hectare = 2.47105 acres

2:07 am

thanks for the imfo---and bookmarked the dane

2:09 am

nbs now too

2:09 am

yay you jilli

2:09 am

oh and hi bf--sorry for being so slow this morning

2:10 am

Pugs, how are you doing?

2:10 am

Iam doing fine ,bf and how about you?

2:11 am

bf...you doing okay??

2:12 am

oh, dear. our dairy farmers are starting milking at 4am..poor men

2:12 am

Rose, I am doing as well as my pain meds allow. I have recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my spine and seem to be allergic to all the meds available so pain meds for me for now. I am still walking and not too much pain sitting.

2:13 am

oh, darn, bf...that is such bad news, hun.

2:13 am

ahh bf, sorry you are in so much pain

2:14 am

ty for the yay, rose! (I'm sort of here and there).

2:14 am

I am very thankful that it is not worse. I am retired so I don't have to be anywhere and can rest as much as needed. It could be a lot worse.

2:14 am

My father and grandfather,plus two sisters have and had arthritis

2:15 am

bf, are you taking glucosamine and chondroitin?

2:18 am

Rose I am allergic to so many meds that any new things I have to be in the doctor's office to begin taking; I have had five anaphylactic reactions to various drugs and foods, etc. in the past and do not try any new drugs. I am trying to alter my diet to allow for natural healing as much as possible. I will write down the two you have listed and see if I can take them. I will try just about anything to help the pain.

2:18 am

i have been taking t\he combo for over 10 years. i have managed to stop rheumatoid arthritis in it's tracks.

2:19 am

bf, there are two combos. one with sulphur and one without.

2:19 am

I will call doctor in the morning to arrange time to see if I can take these drugs. They are homeopathic, right?

2:19 am

are you living in a cold and damp state bf? If so that dont help very much either

2:20 am

yes, dear. try and pick the one without sulpha...that is your best bet.

2:21 am

Allergic to sulphur. Live near Pittsburgh and most of the time at UPMC. It is cold but I am warm in the house. It seems that the changes in barometric pressure cause some pain. Interesting what we go through.

2:22 am

Rose will that stop the artiritis knots

2:23 am

Rose you have been thru so much and Pugs, too. I look forward to Babble every night as the folks always make me laugh.

2:24 am

absolutely, bc. exactly what i go through. try the glucaosamine and no sulphur. good luck, hun

2:24 am

Anyway, thanks for all the help.

2:24 am

xoxox bf. you are an integral part of our chat.

2:25 am

yes, pugs. i have only one finger with the arthritis knot

2:25 am

what type of arthritis do you have bf-----and I too look forward to babble and my friends here

2:26 am

My family mostly have gout

2:27 am

I don't have what Dee has but I think I went into a daze and really don't know. Have doctor

2:27 am

my sister gets big knots on her elbows and knees---both sisters got their when in grade school

2:27 am

s appointment coming up and will get more answers then.

2:27 am

I don

2:27 am

t

2:28 am

my rheumatoid arthritis was nipped in the bud by plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine)

2:29 am

I keep messing up typing/ I don't have knots anywhere that I know of. Your sisters must be old hands at dealing with this mess.

2:30 am

I beleve glucosamine is effective for osteoarthritis, not so much rheumatoid.

2:30 am

they got it I guess from dad and our grandfather

2:30 am

Thanks Jilli. Have written down the name of the med. Maybe with all the help from you folks I will be able to stand up straight again.

2:31 am

one sister has it worse then the other

2:31 am

I didn

2:31 am

t

2:31 am

I do so hope you will bf and find help with the pain too

2:32 am

I did not know that it was hereditary. No one in my family has it

2:32 am

my family didn't have it either.

2:33 am

well theirs is gout arthritis maybe its different

2:33 am

but you have to find out what kind it is-- they are very different as to treatment. I hope you're seeing a rheumatologist.

2:35 am

Okay enough doom and gloom. This is all so new to me. I go to UPMC, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which is composed of five hospitals and research facilities. I have specialists reviewing all my tests, etc. This has just been diagnosed in the past few months so I think it will get better once all is known about what I have.

2:36 am

ta da fw

2:36 am

w2g Sir Joso and hello

2:36 am

WTG JOSO!! you rock, mate

2:36 am

2:41 am

it's friday...

2:41 am

Everyone here seems to be truckin' along with aches and pains. I guess it is our age more than anything. We will all do well.

2:42 am

What is snow ice cream?

2:42 am

It seems so bf

2:42 am

hey,,we are the baby-boomers, right?

2:43 am

you take snow(clean) add milk,sugar and vanilla(some adds eggs) mix and you keep adding snow until it thickens and wala you got ice cream--yummy too

2:44 am

I AM a little older than baby boomers. But in the general area.

2:45 am

I'm on the trailing edge of boomers

2:45 am

Will have to try that the next time we get some snow which will be soon, I'm sure.

2:45 am

and here it comes...see you later. yum yum

2:46 am

bye and enjoy Rose

2:46 am

thanks Rose for all your help and kind words.

2:47 am

eat hearty rose

2:47 am

I dont know if you remember when they sold icemilk icecream bf, but it taste alot like that

2:48 am

Dairy Queen is ice milk and I love that. Can't wait for snow now. Thanks Pugs. It is nice to have something to look forward to.

2:49 am

3:14 am

of course we need you!

3:18 am

naturally

3:18 am

* smiling at you dear* thanx for making me feel special

3:19 am

and you, too, joso. love you people to bits.

3:19 am

well you are special in my book

3:19 am

as is Joso too

3:19 am

well as you are special you have very good reason to feel so

3:20 am

xoxox joso

3:21 am

and xoxox pugs

3:21 am

back at ya and thanks too

3:22 am

of course special is a rather slippery term, do you mean special like the kids that went to special class in grade school when you say special

3:23 am

lol, Joso--leave it to you to come off with something like that

3:23 am

tummy full, and no nausea. we have had lemon chicken, boneless, crumbed. and beef and vegetables, and special fried rice..yum, yum, yum.

3:23 am

well thats a step ahead for you Rose

3:24 am

you know the ones who hadn't figured out that the tongue should spend most of it's life inside the mouth

3:24 am

yes, dear pugs...no nausea at this end of the day.

3:25 am

I could picture you as a special ed child, Joso

3:25 am

oh you get such good food rose, I'm jealous

3:25 am

lolol, joso...not going there...very happily married and looove french kissing...

3:26 am

as himself says...there is one too many tongues in my mouth..lololol

3:27 am

there are times the tongue should exit the mouth, but not while talking

3:28 am

pugs, chinese food and me...wonderfully matched.

3:28 am

joso...right there, mate.

3:28 am

almost made it to special class in school

3:29 am

that should tell you something then. Whatever is in it your system likes it and that kind of food is not too fattening

3:29 am

noticed some kids had to do less work so I scaled back my results untill i got into the easy group

3:30 am

pugs, low fat...*nodding* yup, i think you are right.

3:31 am

and what did you gain by that Joso

3:31 am

lol, joso...and they said you were slow..

3:32 am

sounds like you just cheated yourself

3:32 am

I got less work

3:33 am

so now since you cheated on not working at your best, you have to do more to get yourself into shape

3:33 am

it always suprized me nobody else figured out the flaw in teachers system, do well and get more work, ?????

3:34 am

I would say they do that to extend your brain

3:35 am

lol, joso, it shows me how clever you were.

3:36 am

you know so you dont get bored and interupt the class

3:38 am

did i ever tell you guys? i took my eldest out of the primary school system for a whole 12 months, at year 5 level. he was in a gifted child school for 12 months at one of our universities. he went back into grade 6, and completed his final year in 5 months.

3:38 am

Rose, when are you to get the cooler temps

3:39 am

pugs, hopefully over-night

3:39 am

did it help him Rose

3:41 am

i think so pugs. his 6th year teacher was a gifted-child also. he extended my son laterally. even teaching him maths for the next year.

3:41 am

speaking of tongues, last night I cooked the most disgusting thing ever, veal tongue. The taste was delicious, but cleaning it is not for the faint-hearted!

3:41 am

{{and hello, dear friends}}

3:41 am

lolol, ruby. right with you, dear

3:41 am

Hello Miss Ruby

3:42 am

3:42 am

i hate trying to peel the membrane off

3:42 am

i hate trying to peel the membrane off

3:43 am

aaagghhh, the twitch is back..

3:43 am

I looked it up and it said to let itcool in the cooking liquid, so that wasn't the bad part. It was all the nasty,fatty stuff at the business end

3:44 am

Ive seen cow tongues in the store but havent ever tried them--just dont look too yummy

3:44 am

and our local fire siren has just gone off

3:44 am

oh no Rose

3:44 am

3:59 am

ahhh poor Sprite! its the pits to feel like that--hope it passes quickly

4:00 am

any let up on the bad dreams

4:01 am

oh it will, it is not a major flu. Just one of those random viruses. I got the flu... what is that called in english... inoculation? Doubt it... anyway, that sh4 that will protect you against the major flu viruses.

4:01 am

dreamwise it was ok last night. No real nightmares. Again the ex boyfriend popping up, but more in the distance. Will try your advice today!

4:02 am

flu inoculation or flu shot

4:02 am

still it makes you feel yucky which ever kind it is

4:02 am

hi joso! *hugs* Thanks.

4:03 am

well hope it works for you

4:03 am

yeah, lousy feeling. But it'll pass and I will just take it easy today. Bit of laundry, is all.

Hi everyone, is anyone else having trouble getting today's Lickety?

4:03 am

hi dofith, no I don't, looks like it is all there. Do you use his site or the babble browser?

4:03 am

Hi dof--I havent tried

4:04 am

somebody was having trouble yesterday but haven't heard of anyone with lickety problems today

4:04 am

it came in okay for me just now

4:05 am

I click the link under the puzzle. It's giving me another day's - never happened before.

4:06 am

ok, see if this works: go to the site, click somewhere on the page, then hit Control + F5 (on a windows)

4:07 am

I' m getting yesterday's clues. How odd. Never mind - will have to get last 20 without him.

4:10 am

if the control refresh did not work, you can clean out your cache, or reboot.

4:11 am

try this address; http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

4:14 am

how are you doing today, pugs and joso?

4:15 am

Thanks for the ideas, Sprite and Joso - no luck though - I'm probably not doing things correctly - not very computer- savvy

4:15 am

Iam doing okay Sprite

4:15 am

all is well here sprite, sorry you have the blaaas

4:16 am

sorry it didn't work, dofith. Last resort thing would be to close down your computer, leave it off for at least 10 seconds, then start it up again.

4:16 am

glad to hear it :) Does the house feel like home already, joso? And pugs, is your sister still stable?

4:17 am

yes it does, very pleased with the new place

4:18 am

pretty well-her sugar up a bit,but due to weather and she cant get out to walk I understand that

4:18 am

am so glad, joso. So important to be able to let your roots down.

4:19 am

ah yes, lack of exercise has immediate reactions, hasn't it, pug.

4:19 am

it does!

4:22 am

*smug* left two columns and the upper row greyed out...

4:22 am

sprite, you will have to take a gander at someone's icon--what we talked about yesterday. Makes me laugh now but not yesterday

4:23 am

the same person?

4:24 am

nm--it got changed

4:25 am

ok

4:26 am

we had snow yesterday and we are to get more today and tomorrow

4:26 am

poor pugs :( Hope it won't be so much it makes moving about a problem

4:27 am

the weather seem extreme around the world this year

4:27 am

All good now, folks - closed up, reopened and now have today's Lickety. Thanks for your help, Joso and Sprite!

4:27 am

climate changes, pug. We are in for interesting times.

4:27 am

Rose is worried about fires near her and Ruru is got the same problem and blizzards and high winds OO's way

4:28 am

yay dofith! Am glad!

4:28 am

what do you have Sprite

4:29 am

rather high temps for the time of year. And of course the netherlands will be among the first countries to notice if the water levels are gonna rise.

4:29 am

sunshine and rainbows? lol

4:30 am

we have had a lot of storms this year, more than usual, but otherwise things are pretty normal.

4:30 am

lol yes, that is us, sunshine and rainbows :)

4:30 am

is it the winter months there

4:31 am

yes, we are standard. April, May, June for Spring, and so on.

4:31 am

like us then

4:32 am

yes, the same as you.

4:32 am

back for a couple of minutes while leftover chili heats up for Burt

4:32 am

june is more summery for us

4:33 am

welcome back Ruby

4:33 am

sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, here

4:33 am

but that is the netherlands... you just never know, lol

4:34 am

hiya ruby, wb

4:36 am

you got chicken soup Sprite? And all the things you need to doctor yourself

4:36 am

it is above freezing here by a little, but I would prefer some snow. At least the dogs wouldn't be tracking mud into the house. I keep explaining about wiping feet (paws) but can't even get husband to do that lol

4:36 am

I know the feeling Ruby!

4:36 am

my love got me a new batch of paracetamol yesterday. No chickensoup or orange juice :( But am happy to be able to take something against the muscle and joint pain.

4:37 am

big paws and big feet!

4:37 am

you need a couple of those walk-dry mats, ruby. No kidding.

4:37 am

after lunch I have to go with husband for his photos for his new identity card. He tried to use the photo machine himself, but couldn't figure it out

4:37 am

I put down a old blanket down and that does help,plus the mop is at hand too

4:37 am

bah, humbug

4:38 am

will, however, buy myself some MacDo as my reward

4:38 am

very good, ruby. I can fully understand how a photo machine is too much for your husband now. Great you can help him, and a great idea to reward yourself.

4:38 am

I have old towels inside and outside everydoor, but it doesn't help much. And they both want to be petted but but they are soaking wet and smell awful

4:39 am

my old dog knew that name--should of seen the show he put on over it--lol

4:39 am

I crave things like McD but rarely get the chance because it's too far away

4:39 am

lol

4:39 am

poets with big feet are Longfellows

4:40 am

and good morning OO

4:40 am

hi o-o, glad to see you.

4:40 am

have had a yen for kfc the last couple of days

4:40 am

hi ho o o

4:40 am

I think they get us hooked on the salt and trans fats!

4:41 am

I always have that, joso, lol. I can eat chicken every day for every meal. So love it.

4:41 am

since I lost a kilo over the gloomy holidays, I can eat what I want for a few days. I weigh myself every day to make sure I stay in the correct range

4:42 am

have any of you ever tried cold fried chicken with blackberry jam? It's a great combination, even though it sounds strange

4:42 am

I ran one of those kfc's once--dogs got so sick of chickens they wouldnt even smell the stuff--lol

4:42 am

weight goes up and down up to about 2 kgs in both directions, ruby. Once a week is more than enough to keep your eye on it.

4:42 am

I boil chicken breast for the dogs every night to go with their kibble

4:43 am

Raffie has such a coat that she looks like she is wearing a fur rug on her back

4:43 am

I don't like hearty and sweet together, ruby, so no, haven't tried that.

4:43 am

I think biology hooked us on salt sugar and fats, civilization has made them too readily available

4:43 am

I'm in a narrower range, sprite, bcause I'm so short

4:43 am

1 kg too much and my clothes don't fit

4:44 am

I think so too, joso

4:44 am

because have a screen in my abdomen, there's no room for excess food to go. I guess that's good and bad.....

4:45 am

with sugar, I binge occasionally, bbut worry more about my teeth than anything, so I eat the sweets all at once and then brush

4:46 am

you are right about Burt and machines, sprite, and only giving him one thing to do at a time. Sequencing is also a big probem for him

4:47 am

you really nailed that about one instruction at a time. I never would have thought of that

4:47 am

(very smart sprite)

4:47 am

well, it is good to know that, at least, ruby, so you can take it into account. *hugs*

4:47 am

I makes a big difference and reduces his confusion

4:47 am

step by baby step!

4:47 am

OO, I seen on the news you are under another blizzard. You wont ever get that hammock tamed down-lol

4:47 am

*woof*

4:48 am

bye ye Ruby

4:48 am

bye ruby, have a good one and enjoy the McD

4:48 am

lol pug. Strapping yourself down at night, o-o, and getting up very dizzy?

4:49 am

I loosed the hammock and there have been sightings in the Gulf of Mexico.

4:49 am

How do you get food and stuff OO, if you dont mind me asking. You have someone to bring things to you

4:50 am

*giggles* That bad, huh. Can you go out at all?

4:50 am

lol---we wll all have to pitch in and get you a better one

4:52 am

sprite, the news said they was having 70 miles an hour winds there

4:52 am

omg that is awful.

4:52 am

The wind and cold are the culprits. I drive places.

4:53 am

I know and with the blizzard too--its not to good there

4:53 am

driving can't be easy with those hard winds. But glad you can go places by car at least.

4:53 am

how in the world do you drive in stuff like that OO--you got a tank or what

4:54 am

I bet crossy comes to take you out in his jeep--lol

4:54 am

Snow accumulations have not been great .... stuff blows around but no big deal so far.

4:55 am

oh he would, if necessary

4:55 am

do you have to travel far to get to a store

4:55 am

I can't drive in snow. I mean when it blows around and is falling. It moves in the beams of the headlights and I go into trance. It is the only kind of weather I don't drive in.

4:55 am

shot shots

4:56 am

those kind of wind could knock a person down for sure

4:56 am

I can get to a store, shop and be back in about a half hour

4:56 am

*giggles* Those special kind of shots, Tanja? Flu shots, booze shots and shot shots?

4:57 am

sounds doable, o-o.

4:57 am

if its okay to ask OO, have you lived there all your life

4:57 am

I just face the wind, reach out with my palm towards the wind and start singing ... stop, in the name of love ....

4:58 am

LOL

4:58 am

lolol... I can picture you doing that.

4:59 am

is that after you have dropped the ski sticks? lol

4:59 am

Hi Pink

5:00 am

5:02 am

I put the walking poles down because it is not nice to anger mother nature.

5:02 am

5:03 am

5:42 am

Hi all :)

5:50 am

Hello, Lizlin.

5:56 am

good morning everyone:)

5:57 am

Hello, Mr Hair

5:59 am

first column greyed out!! yaa for crossy! lol

6:15 am

phantom: nullifidian

6:28 am

gm, everyone

6:29 am

hi dawg

6:29 am

hiya bo!

6:29 am

how're things?

6:31 am

things are okay. way too warm here tho. how are you?

6:32 am

steady - not too high, not too low - cold here (cold for us, anyway) want sun and 60's...

6:34 am

yes, you need the warmth! up here we need the cold and the snow! water table is going to short which will mean water rations for the lower states.

6:36 am

yeah, could be worse here I know - plenty of water and weather, generally, very good - i'm just a complainer,,,

6:37 am

Do the dishes and silverware float well on water tables?

6:37 am

dishes probably -genuine silverware not...

6:37 am

it's all based on what we're used to, bo. hiya o-o! lol, no, they sink!

6:40 am

What I am used to is winter, flooding and road construction.

6:40 am

i'm not jealous, for sure

6:42 am

need the cold to kill the bugs, need the snow for water, need frigid weather to cull the idiots on the roads.

6:44 am

Last December there were twice as many reported accidents than the average for the preceding nine. Too much texting, eating and talking, I understand.

6:46 am

unbelievable what we think we can do while trying to control a 3500 lb beast...

6:46 am

that doesn't surprise me about driving habits. a lot of places have ordinances now that try to prevent the texting, but there are just those who think they are immortal or impervious to such things.

6:48 am

Hang up and drive! -- one of my favorite bumper stickers, but to no avail...

6:48 am

park your phone booth or drive your car!

6:49 am

lol - good one

6:52 am

lb, are you still in the naval reserve?

6:53 am

nope, honorable discharge, ages ago

6:59 am

o-o why do you ask?

7:00 am

I was wondering if you were now involved in the NSA or had been promoted to some high rank

7:02 am

North Dakota's Navy is upgrading ... it is modernizing its only vessel, a tugboat.

7:03 am

re: driving habits. We are in a skiing and beach tourist area and Toronto is just a 2.5 hour drive south, so our two little wrecking yards has the biggest collection of BMW and Mercedes hood ornaments in the word;))

7:04 am

think you have it bad o-o? our navy spends all it time trying to keep 3 old U.K nuke subs afloat or from catching fire or from going china syndrome

7:05 am

last time we buy subs at a yard sale!

7:06 am

if we can get enough insurance on them, we will just pay someone to sink them in a deep hole

7:06 am

I do not understand what the yard is not sold at a yard sale?

7:07 am

or fleas at flea markets

7:07 am

why, not what

7:08 am

of course you may get fleas when you buy that old couch!

7:09 am

all school reunions rarely have all the schools

7:10 am

I'd like to buy a garage at a garage sale. alas, they only want to sell the junk in the garage.

7:10 am

I have my own junk, don't need someone elses.

7:10 am

a school reunion would be the last thing I would go to, besides it was the 70,s. the entire 5 years is a haze anyways

7:12 am

in the summer here, we have people who get up bright and early and troll the yard sales. They will find one that looks good and offer the person a lowball price to take everything. They then load it up drive 50 miles south where we have a large indoor flea market and sell everything and double their money

7:14 am

I know one fella who bought three entire yard sales and stuffed the works in his cube van, went home and whatever price was on the item he doubled then the next week end he sold it all off

7:16 am

works on the ski hill in the winter, so it pays his rent all summer long

7:22 am

off to class for crossy. tc everyone and happy babbling!

7:23 am

be safe

7:26 am

Wearing my sungalsses in the house...

More proof the fourth amendment has been vitiated: Hundreds of millions of texts snooped daily by NSA: Latest leak

7:47 am

I hope they are peeking in on texts between my daughter and me.

7:48 am

They will learn more about the bowels of a six month old than any one should know...

7:52 am

At a truck stop, some guys were saying if you have nothing to hide, what is the big deal? I asked them if they closed their shades at night. They did. I then asked them what they had to hide.

7:54 am

Somehow, I don't see you as a truck stop guy, o-o.

7:56 am

Must bzz...See you all tomorrow...pfft!

Happy Friday, Babblers!

9:40 am

Hello

9:40 am

Hi Judi

9:42 am

Have a lot of calls last night, Scrabbler?

9:42 am

Nope, slept great!

9:47 am

never heard of the da 4/6 before for skip stones across water..cool word

9:47 am

I should look up definitions for words.

9:49 am

i look up many...so many are coins or really esoteric words, so fun to find ones that aren't :-)

9:49 am

I would probably remember more of these rare words if I knew what they meant.

9:50 am

i usually try to look up one or two each day - it helps to remember them if they come up again

9:50 am

that's what I decided too, scrabbler

9:50 am

looked up that DA 4/6 - was a new one

9:51 am

Name that proper noun: City in Greece.

9:51 am

words are one of the tools in communicating ... I have my doubts that many of these words would enhance the process.

9:51 am

athens

9:51 am

Athens

9:52 am

are all the o words 4's?

9:52 am

True, o-o

1:18 pm

Hi anawaltgal, I just got NBT and the left column black! (so far having fun)

1:20 pm

Don't worry, gal; I often make up words too

1:30 pm

Nef is in the grid *Hands Nef the Babble Tiara*

1:30 pm

hi all clue pls for the sp6/24 & 7

1:34 pm

Molly, I don't get the tiara; that's for the finishers, isn't it?

1:35 pm

Sorry, Mary, I don't have them yet.

1:36 pm

thx anyway my last two. Maybe someone else can help?

1:37 pm

s + ****s of glory + vowel

1:37 pm

not easy to clue

1:38 pm

or the garden p***

1:38 pm

thanks hego. Odd word

1:39 pm

yes, hi Nef

1:39 pm

You get the tiara if your name is in the grid.

1:40 pm

ty, ty hego fireworks finally

1:40 pm

YAY!!! for Mary!!!

1:40 pm

tiara if your name is in the grid? Must be a new rule then. (It will mess up my hair!)

1:41 pm

YAY, Mary!!! WTG!!!

1:41 pm

lol! funny Nef. :)

1:42 pm

an easy grid really

1:43 pm

must go. later All.

1:44 pm

it is indeed funny, hego. I don't have much hair and I wear it spiked (but in a lady-like way, you know! ;-) And back in the day that we wore Nursing caps I had a hard time keeping mine on.

2:02 pm

No Nef, the tiara is for being in the grid.

2:03 pm

And it will set right nicely on your blue spikes.

2:04 pm

promise, Molly? I don't want to lose any hair wearing a tiara

2:18 pm

I am watching figure skating and Babbling at the same time

2:22 pm

hi bichon; how are you today?

2:25 pm

Perfect, skating and Babble

2:27 pm

sounds good. Are you watching the semifinals or finals or what? (I have the TV off while my grandson is in preschool; I really love the quiet some days!)

2:29 pm

NOt on TV, on an internet skating channel

2:30 pm

Ahh! (THAT SOUNDS CONFUSING TO ME (BEING THE OLD FOGEY I SUDDENLY FEEL LIKE!)

2:30 pm

sorry for yelling; I need to stop watching my fingers when I type

2:31 pm

For skating maniacs like me, it's a wonderful invention. TV doesn't show as much skating any more

2:32 pm

that's true.

2:32 pm

did you ever figure skate, bichon?

2:33 pm

Not that you'd notice. It fandom for me. But, my daughter was a competitive figure skater. I learned a lot from her about the sport

2:34 pm

AH! That makes sense then. My daughter was a speed skater in high school; I learned a lot about that sport back then too!

2:35 pm

Her daughter [my g'daughter] wants to skate but my daughter won't let her

2:36 pm

I've never figured out how that can tell the difference between triples and quad jumps in figure skating nor why 1 jump is named differently than the other.

2:36 pm

why not? too much pressure?

2:37 pm

Money, commitment in time for both of them, and pressure

2:37 pm

I learned all that from my daughter

2:37 pm

okay. How old is your granddaughter?

2:38 pm

6, in first grade. She plays soccer and that's enough

2:39 pm

oh, yeah. At that age, 1 extracurricular activity is enough

2:39 pm

And, she's in Daisy's

2:40 pm

My other granddaughter, who just turned 7 does: piano, swimming, gymnastics, Daisies and whatever else. So many I can't remember

2:41 pm

that's plenty then. If it was like when I was a kid; we walked to activities and skating and such were all for fun and parents weren't so involved; then it would be different

2:42 pm

pa 6 clue please?

2:42 pm

(I feel sorry for the 7 year old -that's too much for a little kid)

2:42 pm

I only did Brownies. My mother signed me up for accordian lessons. Boy, did I hate that

2:42 pm

ch, it's a PT

2:43 pm

I don't remember what I did between 6 and 8; but I do know that we didn't have any organized activities like that (my mom was sick during that time)

2:44 pm

ch, was that enough of a clue?

2:44 pm

yes! just got it. Thanks, nef.

2:44 pm

yw

2:44 pm

It's always the simple ones ... that humble me.

2:44 pm

The 7 y.o. has so much energy she's bouncing off the walls. When she's busy, she's happy

2:45 pm

how do her parents keep up with her then?

2:47 pm

ch, those are sometimes the hardest to find. I always think I've already entered the easy words, and then at the end, those are the ones I've missed

2:48 pm

afternoon all - looking for a couple clues for some fireworks.

2:48 pm

PO 6/24

Hello, everyone! My balcony patio looks so great! Finally mostly finished. I have a chicken with veggies in the slow cooker...done with work for today...life is GOOD!

3:37 pm

3:40 pm

Ooooh...please send it to my email, crossy! EM still is profile.

3:41 pm

75 is soooo nice

3:41 pm

I spoke to a vegan today and told him I'd lose the will to live if I had to give up cheese and milk...but also could not give up meat...don't really see the point, actually.

3:42 pm

Yes, TO, and at night the solar lights on the patio look like they're floating in air and the crackle ball solar globes case a glow on the ceiling of the patio that looks like an aurora borealis....I am SOOO happy with my little home.

3:45 pm

to be made unhappy, temple

3:49 pm

Happy 92nd birthday Betty White!

3:49 pm

thank you MAB - i wasn't looking to the left.

3:49 pm

So emotional that we all may need to spend time in a pa6/30 cell....no, not really.

3:50 pm

Betty white is 92? wow. that's great.

3:50 pm

Hi, cos! Bless her heart...she gives me such hope. Maybe I have 30 more years on the planet!

3:51 pm

hi all! yes. we can only hope to be like her when we're 92!

3:52 pm

Still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.

3:53 pm

I want to be Bea Arthur when I grow up ;-)

3:53 pm

I once asked my 85-year-old grandmother when one feels like a grownup...she said "When I do, I'll let you know."

3:54 pm

nice.. I find when people that age have that attitude they tend to live longer

3:56 pm

I don't buy into anyone else's idea of who or what I should be...I like being unique and it's good at this age to be happy with myself. My favorite tshirt says "If you don't like my opinion of you...you can always change."

3:56 pm

Did crossy leave us unattended here?

3:57 pm

ooh I like that quote! Im gonna use that

3:57 pm

You can get the t-shirt at despair.com...fantastic site with "demotivator" posters and stuff. You'll laugh until you cry.

3:58 pm

I have been trying to find one demotivator poster. it was mean but funny.. it had 3 girls taking pics in a mirror with another girl in the other room staring and the caption said "ENVY"

3:58 pm

They had another one that was never in stock so I had it custom made---on the front it simply says "Vintage!"

3:58 pm

cant find it anywhere!

3:59 pm

I haven't seen that one on despair.com, cos...sorry. But try the site---it's truly amazing.

4:00 pm

I will thanks!

4:00 pm

You can even have calendars made up with your pick of the demotivator posters for about $22---can even personalize dates. LOVE THOSE! Great gifts.

4:01 pm

If you go to the calendars site, you can see ALL the posters to choose from...so funny.

4:03 pm

reasonable rates"?

4:03 pm

mimi!! your email is not working!

4:03 pm

For personalizing something, I think they are great deals.

4:03 pm

crossy has returned! he didn't ditch us after all

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

4:06 pm

4:07 pm

Molly is a very resourceful person and we appreciate her.

4:07 pm

THANK YOU!

4:07 pm

I am having issues with my e-mail.i may have to just post it here

4:07 pm

I'm doing great...got my balcony/patio all fixed up and it is now my tropical oasis. Guess you already have that in your backyard right now, right?

4:07 pm

haha nah

4:07 pm

my backyard is full of weeds!

4:08 pm

sounds wonderful though :)

4:08 pm

Sorry to cause you trouble, crossy. But so much love that you try...you're a good man.

4:08 pm

and i was just in Panama over the New Year holiday, so that was definitely tropical and oasis-like

4:08 pm

Rows...any word on a job? Hated the whole Taiwan thing...but you'll find something better.

4:09 pm

If you end up in Japan, Rows, I may just come and visit.

4:09 pm

not beat yet mimi.i have other tricks up my sleeve

4:09 pm

yeah, i had an interview for a job in Tokyo on Monday, and it went really well, but i'm not sure about it yet

4:09 pm

:) that would be great

4:10 pm

It's funny, Rows...you look enough like me to be my daughter!

4:10 pm

and i'm potentially up to have interviews for jobs in Chile and in Malaysia as well, given that these people come through

4:10 pm

hehe really?

4:10 pm

I have no doubt, crossy!

4:10 pm

Hello everybody! Rows, I'm currently engrossed in Prison Break on Netflix. Panama looks amazing. :-)

4:11 pm

mm, none of my sites i use to send mail are taking your addy , mimi. do you have another one i can use?

4:11 pm

My lawsuit should be in court in May and I'm expecting to get a nice settlement...so, travel will be a priority, Rows.

4:11 pm

i am watching prision break right now on Netflix. love it!!!!

4:11 pm

ooh

4:11 pm

Panama *is* amazing

4:11 pm

((Soodle)) Yes--Prison Break is great...loved it.

4:11 pm

though expensive for someone who only makes $350 US a month

4:12 pm

prision break rocks!!

4:12 pm

but yes, Panama City is gorgeous and we had a great time partying there on NYE... and then Isla Coiba is otherworldly... we went snorkeling and saw whale sharks!

4:12 pm

Those are my only two email addresses, crossy. But you could send it to my best friends email at sce9999@aol.com and ask her to forward to me.

4:13 pm

Oooh, Crossy. It's great, isn't it? And the eye candy..... Whoosh!

4:13 pm

Whoa---you saw WHALE SHARKS!!! I thought people only saw them around Indonesia...fantastic!

4:13 pm

what is your second one? i only see catdesigns one

4:13 pm

Second one is: catj42@gmail.com

4:13 pm

catjdesigns*

4:13 pm

ok will try that one

4:14 pm

You are such a dear, crossy.

4:15 pm

Ooooo...the chicken, carrots and onions in my slow cooker are smelling fantastic!

4:15 pm

oooh i want some

4:15 pm

i just have a chocolate cupcake staring at me right now... not healthy :P

4:15 pm

and yes, we saw whale sharks! they were SUPER close, too!

4:15 pm

it was insane

4:15 pm

ok, mimi, the file is send to your second addy!!

4:16 pm

it worked no problem at all

4:16 pm

Rows, your trip sounds wonderful. I'm very jealous.

4:16 pm

Don't know how I ever lived without one, especially when raising three kids. Loving it now. And it encourages me to eat fresh food. Eat the cupcake, dear...you're young...enjoy while you can.

4:16 pm

haha not as young as i used to be

4:16 pm

i sent it via my we transfer file programme

4:16 pm

but it is that time of the month... so i'm taking advantage

4:16 pm

Sorry to be a problem, crossy, but just love you for persisting. I'll try the recipe ASAP and get back to you. You are my hero!

4:17 pm

lol.i have two slow cookers just in case one breaks:))

4:17 pm

just let me know if your received it ok

4:17 pm

None of us are as young as we used to be, Rows, but I'm glad I'm not as "old" as some think I should be! NOT going there!

4:18 pm

hmm, it's odd... when i go through heartbreak, i never want to eat anything... but i just went through a horrible argument with my sister that was practically like a breakup, and i still want to eat all of the things

4:18 pm

Lol Mimi! Growing old DISgracefully! Yay!!

4:18 pm

i guess at least i'm functioning more normally than when i am heartbroken

4:19 pm

Got it, crossy! Thanks.

4:20 pm

yaaaa!

4:20 pm

I've never been an emotional eater, Rows, but can't say the same about drinking...mostly I'm an emotional writer.

4:20 pm

write drunk, edit sober

4:21 pm

ah, i wish i were still into writing like i used to be

4:21 pm

Hahaha crossy

4:21 pm

Good afternoon, morning, evening all.

4:22 pm

what do you write, mimi?

4:22 pm

Hey Crossy - would you mind sending me your recipe, too?

4:22 pm

It sounds yummy.

4:23 pm

i will send it trantsnana

4:23 pm

bsneilson@gmail.com

4:23 pm

4:23 pm

Just turned the recipe into a word document and saved it, crossy...yum!

4:24 pm

you will love it, mimi

4:24 pm

Thanks, Crossy. Look forward to trying it.

4:24 pm

Rows, I used to write a lot of poety...even wrote a one-act play when I was 10. These days I'm more philosophical and write less in verse. Currently, I'm still working on getting my book finished. It's about my life.

4:24 pm

I do that all the time, too, Mimi, when I see recipes on Facebook. Copy and paste them to Word. Got a lot of good ones off of there.

4:25 pm

it is sent, trents nana

4:25 pm

awesome!

4:25 pm

let me know when it's finished :)

4:25 pm

just check and make sure you got it ok

4:25 pm

trentsnana, I have sites with recipes that I bookmark..but if my computer ever crashes, I'll lose them all.

4:26 pm

I know....we should put them all on a zip drive!

4:26 pm

Rows, I have so many people waiting for this book! It's very heartwarming. The title is "An Extraordinary Ordinary Life." What do you think of that title? It's certainly appropriate!

4:26 pm

Thanks, Crossy - it has arrived.

4:27 pm

I might start releasing excerpts to special people...if you're interested, let me know. Haven't quite decided, though.

4:27 pm

satin

4:27 pm

pa 7 -- time gone by + ike and t*** turner

4:29 pm

I would be willing to proofread as well, Mimi

4:30 pm

love to send*

4:30 pm

It took me some time to decide to write it, peri, because I couldn't decide if I wanted to write it "for real" or as fiction because I wasn't sure I wanted to admit to some of the things I've done. At this point I've decided to just let it all hang out...at least I'll be "colorful."

4:31 pm

that's the best way to be, mimi :)

4:31 pm

ty o-o for pa7. what does the last 7 start with pls

4:31 pm

indeed Mimi

4:31 pm

good choice mimi. write what you know. makes a better read

4:31 pm

I know it will not be boring!

4:32 pm

sa 6/21 -- carrying a boat over land to more water: **r**ging

4:32 pm

sa 6/24 --- make less happy; pl

4:32 pm

I'm rather proud of my life...took lots of chances and came out strong and happy. It they want to film it, though, will have to be a mini-series as just a movie wouldn't be nearly enough to hold it all.

4:33 pm

:)

4:33 pm

sigh... i wish that future employers would read my CV more thoroughly

4:33 pm

I have the sa6/24 but not getting the clue for sa6/21 o-o

4:33 pm

starring meryl streep as mimicat

4:34 pm

sheesh, I did not have the pl of the sa6/24 tyty o-o

4:34 pm

got an email basically saying, 'thanks for applying. we're actually looking for teachers with a qualification that you actually have but we didn't notice, but we'll keep your documents on file just in case'

4:34 pm

the pl of the sa 6/24 is the last 7

4:34 pm

had to email them back saying, hey, i do have that qualification, look at my cv again :P

4:34 pm

so silly

4:34 pm

30's Mimi would have to be Charlize Theron--such an amazing creature!

4:34 pm

ooh i love Charlize

4:35 pm

I adore her too

4:35 pm

right o-o got them

4:35 pm

hello 76 to go

4:35 pm

she was amazing in Monster. performance of a lifetime

4:36 pm

And I also adore Angelina Jolie. Yes, cos, Charlize keeps taking chances instead of just taking "pretty" roles...and as a person I really admire her.

4:36 pm

ooh i haven't seen Monster

4:36 pm

i'll have to check it out

4:36 pm

Rows, she plays serial killer Aileen Wournos...truly amazing role. Didn't she get the Oscar for that, cos?

4:37 pm

Frankly, I was a bit sympathetic to Wournos. It's like the joke "the woman stabbed her husband 17 times...I admire her restraint."

4:37 pm

Yes she did. And you must see it rows! She looked so much like aileen who wasn't very pretty

4:38 pm

Yeah. I felt bad for Aileen. I don't think she deserved the death penalty.

4:38 pm

Aileen got death and O.J. walked....no justice.

4:38 pm

sa 6/21 -- add, everclear is a potent ****ble

4:39 pm

she was clearly insane.

4:39 pm

have no idea on that one and i have drank my fair share of everclear in my evil youth

4:39 pm

Cos, I don't feel any of us truly has the right to judge another...we have not "walked in their shoes."

4:40 pm

what is everclear?

4:40 pm

nothing like having to drink something fast before it evaporates because the alcohol content is so high:))

4:40 pm

I give up still don't get it

4:41 pm

Thats very true Mimi

4:41 pm

it is a high alcohol content booze

4:41 pm

isnt everclear a vodka

4:41 pm

i would class it entirely on it's own , cosdem

4:41 pm

sounds like something you would put in your care engine

4:41 pm

sa + first four of spud vegetable

4:42 pm

4:50 pm

Hi folks

4:50 pm

stupid first ha4/5 words.. took me forever to find them. hi stid

4:52 pm

Some of our friends use Everclear to make a drink called Apple Pie. It's an after-dinner drink you SIP. Very good, but very potent, indeed!

4:52 pm

And it tastes just like apple pie.

4:52 pm

I dont sip that. I chug it. Makes me sick though. Delicious.

4:52 pm

Hi cosdem. Hope I can finish this grid. Yesterday was brutal and Idid not finish.

4:53 pm

the apple pie drink I mean :).. stid, i didnt finish yesterday was too tired. this one is yucky too but I have more time today

4:53 pm

LOL Cos

4:53 pm

I did finish yesterday, but I had to stay up past my bedtime

4:54 pm

My stats suck because I was away from Babble for so long. Trying to catch up lol

4:55 pm

My stats always stay in the same place, no matter what

portage: the act or process of transporting boats, supplies, etc, overland between navigable waterways

5:00 pm

Apple pie in liquid alcohol form. I love it!

5:01 pm

Everclear® alcohol Everclear is a pure grain alcohol. The brand, produced by David Sherman Corporation, comes in two strength bands, both 95% (190 proof), and 75.5% (151 proof) bottles. Although, the 95% is undeniably the most popular and most available type. Many of the US provinces have made it illegal to buy Everclear and it's very uncommon to see the most potent of the Everclear products sold outside of America. And it's for good reason too. Everclear is incredibly potent and should be used strictly and responsibly. Don't drink it straight!

5:02 pm

5:59 pm

Hello, Nef

6:01 pm

Getting a bit of snow here.

6:04 pm

Very much yet, o-o? for all of the uproar about the blizzard, we haven't seen it yet

6:04 pm

(sorry, I was off checking about schools for the grandson for next year for a minute)

6:06 pm

two to four inches maybe

6:06 pm

will that be your total, or have you had that much already?

6:07 pm

predicted ... taking its time in arriving

6:08 pm

the wind never rests

6:09 pm

I can imagine; but the good thing about the snow is that it isn't the topsoil blowing away....

6:10 pm

For sure

6:12 pm

We can still see around the corner at intersections .. so snow accumulations have not been a lot

6:12 pm

LOL! Maybe it's blown away?

6:12 pm

Could be

6:15 pm

My back yard is pretty much knee deep all over. We have compost bins out by the fence and it's pretty tough going because about half way down there's a layer of ice that sometimes holds me up and sometimes I step right through it. I've had to shovel paths for our little 11 lb dog to do his thing

6:31 pm

Winter has its challenges ... this one is harsher that the mild ones of the last several years ... not even a flood last year.

6:33 pm

which really is amazing, isn't it? I may be confused, but I think last year had more flooding in the (northern) Red River Valley though, didn't it?

6:35 pm

there was flooding in the Jamestown Valley City area in the middle of the state

6:36 pm

that's where it was?

6:36 pm

And I don't remember ever hearing about that area having much flooding in the past....

6:37 pm

I live in Fargo ... do not recall Grand Forks having problems ... more west of us

6:37 pm

(These darn "S" words are nearly invisible to me tonight

6:38 pm

I used to live in Jamestown ... did some sandbagging there

6:38 pm

Up around Steven, Oslo, and warren areas had some flooding

6:39 pm

sa 6/24 -- make less happy; pl

6:39 pm

My school of nursing had us go to Grand Forks, Fargo and Jamestown back in the '60's; I knew all 3 cities too well. :-/

6:40 pm

sa 5/14 - less happy and a male pronoun

6:40 pm

I have that, o-o; thanks for trying to help. I seem to be missing the 4 & 5 letter words....

6:40 pm

yep, got that one too

6:41 pm

but now I'm starting to see some I missed earlier

6:42 pm

(it's always the easiest words are the ones I miss!

6:43 pm

you'd think that since I'm a lefty, I should see words going to the left easily!

6:43 pm

I can assure you southpaw is not in the grid

6:44 pm

yeah, no "U" there

6:45 pm

Have you finished the grid yet, o-o?

6:46 pm

yes

6:47 pm

WTG!!! There are some days that I finish easily; haven't had 1 of those yet this year! ;-)

6:47 pm

I'm surprised that statin isn't considered a word.....

6:50 pm

I suspect my way of thinking is different from most ... enable does not bother me ... easy or hard is not something I am concerned about .... just try to find another group of letters to add to the word list until there are no more to add.

6:51 pm

you just let your monkeys loose to throw letters together?

6:53 pm

I try to remember words ... instead of doing the monkey thing, I look for groups of letters that look familiar and give them a try

6:53 pm

interesting conversatin, nef and o-o--this is what we were being warned about ten years ago if we didn't do something. But we can't even get congress to manage anything, and here's a governor who causes traffic stoppage for spite. The world will go on, but not with us--this early a.m. the aussies were reporting 112 degrees instead of 45.

6:54 pm

hmmm... never thought of trying that before

6:55 pm

I meant 85--one of the aussies. And no rain where my daughter lives in three years--interesting that the water savers never mention judicious flushing of toilets.

6:55 pm

hi RoundBarn. How are you doing this evening. The Aussies were reporting temps in the (F) scale?

6:56 pm

i'm a gloom caster. I will poink off and go swimming--while the Y has a pool.

6:56 pm

I don't think you're a gloom caster.

6:57 pm

neg, I just sent you what's taken my time away from the books all week. You'll get it tomorrow or Monday. I want to get them all in the mail before the p.o. hikes rates again.

6:58 pm

???

6:58 pm

poetry?

6:58 pm

I've sent you a ndw Liberty. I don't know if O-o would be interested. I sent one to Crossie though.

6:59 pm

Oh! Well that will be fun to see!

7:00 pm

Yes, it's this u year's collection with a more subtle cover. Still has cows and milk featured here and there.

7:00 pm

did you get your monitor problem fixed? (My computer was down for 4 days; it felt like forever!)

7:02 pm

my computer is mostly ok. I'm glad you're seeing about schools for Ronnie. I observed your trougles--writeups of troubles. o-o, I find your clues intriguing becz tg they are more like London Times crossword clues. Most of them I get, if they don't fo by too fast.

7:03 pm

LOL! You know, o-o's clues are very much like crossword puzzle clues (I never thought of that before)

7:04 pm

well, I chsed o-o away I guess. I'm off to swim before the family swim is over. Don't get enough exercise. Wednesday was Demi's birthday. A hard day.

7:05 pm

my son and DIL aren't very aware of things like deadlines when it comes to planning ahead for Ronnie. So I check stuff out and then prod my son (the papers are filed for the divorce, BTW)

7:05 pm

(((RB)))

7:06 pm

and I've adopted crossie's "poink" for farewell, and using it as verb, adj, etc. So I'll be poinking off. Poink.

7:07 pm

Niters, RB (not sure why I had to type that 3 times

7:07 pm

prob your son hasn't been used to the kind of deadlines Ronnie will now be having--with his--the son's--other troubles. T He and R are lucky to have you. fonal poink, dear Nef.

7:08 pm

LOL! Bye now (TTYL)

7:09 pm

spat

7:10 pm

freebie. poink, really.

7:22 pm

Finally! Fw.

7:24 pm

Hi Jilly. How are you this evening?

7:34 pm

Doing well. We went shopping in Missoula today.

7:34 pm

Just read through chog, so I sorta know how you are..LOL

7:34 pm

how's the weather there? (the big blizzard missed us so far)

7:35 pm

Hey, are you saying I talk too much? ;-) (it's true)

7:36 pm

Mostly sunny all day, 45-48 degrees (short sleeve weather for o-o)

7:36 pm

8:26 pm

Goodbye Jillyjill! I will see you tomorrow in the log maybe.

8:26 pm

I am close to saying my oohs & aa 4/5s over fireworks so now here is a story of clues.I watched the stars as they walked down the pa4/5 of the red carpet for the GG Awards. I like to see the different sh4/6es of color people wear. I wonder how long the actors sh 4/6 for dresses before picking one. I actually st 4/6ed up late to watch the whole award show.I liked Golden Globes. Wonder if anyone was offe 4/8ed by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Saw some stars clapped their ha 4/5s&saying ha5/14 at the jokes.Perha4/6s they were pretending to like jokes.Matthew McConaughey sure looked nice. Oh boy do I have the ho 4/5 for him! Also can't believe Meryl Streep did not win. Streep got na 4/5! I am not surprised Woody Allen didn't make an appearance. He has never showed up for awards shows in the pa 4/5. It sa 7/36 me people believe he deserves the Cecile B. Demille Award. Woody Allen is definitely no sa 5/10! As Ms. Keaton was st 5/12ing up on the stage saying her speech,I just shook my head in disbelief how she could support Mr. Allen.I was also surprised that Jared Leto had a sh4/5 at winning. Jared came out of nowhere! I need to st 4/5 babbling now. Husband, who is an 4/4-Babble, op 4/5 to obta4/4 the laptop so this en4/5 my story. I will give him computer so we do not get into a na5/14 sp4/5. I hope you have ad5/16 more words to your list with this story.I'm going to go watch the film ad5/15ation starring Meryl Streep and th 4/5 I will be back to chat and clue some more.Goodbye for now all!

8:29 pm

Thanks Min! I always appreciate your clue stories.

8:34 pm

Any clues for the first sa 5/14?

8:34 pm

sa 5/14 word is unhappy plus male pronoun invictus & hi!

8:35 pm

thanks

8:35 pm

Hello origami! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

8:35 pm

yw invictus

8:36 pm

sh6?

8:37 pm

which one

8:37 pm

i would take either or both

8:37 pm

there are 3

8:37 pm

Both of the sh6 words mean a ramshackle hut. One has a vowel as final letter, the other has the sometimes vowel.

8:38 pm

The last sh6 word is plural of an sh 5/12 word suefrad623

8:38 pm

Hi Min ... have had the flu and the residuals since Christmas. I'm ready for it to go away! How are you?

8:39 pm

ok, i will take that one too

8:39 pm

Oh so sorry to hear that! Hope you get better soon.I am happy because I have a three day weekend now. Hooray

8:40 pm

got the first one

8:40 pm

need the 5/6 ones

8:40 pm

Oh yeah! I am happy about the long weekend too.

8:40 pm

So the sh 6/27 word is the same but has sometimes vowel

8:40 pm

yes

8:41 pm

The sh 5/12 word is sh + a grain and the sh6 is the plural.

8:41 pm

Hello featherbee!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:07 pm

9:08 pm

Hello LeslieAnn! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

yay sue!

9:08 pm

I love coming home from work to nice small grids uusue2!

9:09 pm

Have the materials for your children arrived, featherbee?

9:09 pm

yes!!! we got the dollhouse yesterday, the puppets all came last week! the kids are so thrilled.

9:09 pm

Congratulations uusue2 on your fireworks! Good for you!

9:10 pm

we have to do two thank you packages, the first one is due by the end of february.

9:10 pm

the kids got to help build the puppet stage, that was fun.

9:10 pm

it will be a good writing experience lesson for them too, to do the thank you package

9:11 pm

Great. A good learning experience is so important.

9:12 pm

hi all

9:12 pm

you should have seen me opening the dollhouse furniture stuff for them this morning. i was a kid myself, sitting on the rug, setting it all up. we gave them all a turn with it first thing. it's so neat hearing them play-act with it. so many of them would never have that chance. one of my little girls said the other day that she didn't have puppets at home.

9:12 pm

hi jen!

9:13 pm

the puppets are gorgeous

9:13 pm

hi uusue

9:14 pm

that was a donorschoose project right feather?

9:14 pm

yep, leslie!

9:15 pm

So good to hear that fun and challenging things happen at schools. The stuff in the news is so distressing.

9:15 pm

my company does a lot with them, when you walk onto every floor we have thank you notes and cards framed. so you can tell them the thank-you stuff is appreciated!

9:15 pm

that's awesome! i think the thank you notes are the least we can do in return for having the projects funded.

9:16 pm

Many children are not taught the importance of thank yous.

9:16 pm

i think we only get to send the notes to ones who donated over a certain amount. i wish we could send them to everyone. unless that's changed. i haven't looked at all the rules yet, will be doing that next week.

9:17 pm

i have each kid write a note, so last time we did this, i just split the notes up between the ones we were to send them to. so they got a lot each!

9:20 pm

Are your boys in the same building you teach in, featherbee?

9:20 pm

nope

9:21 pm

thank goodness, lol

9:21 pm

Congrats, pen and sue!

it's through the donorschoose site. teachers put up projects they'd like to get funded, and companies or people can donate to the projects

9:37 pm

and Horace Mann is one of the donors?

9:37 pm

i just started in november, round barn, so i don't know too many people yet

9:38 pm

not for my particular project

9:38 pm

yes but probably not for feather's project. i think they fund mostly high-poverty school projects

9:38 pm

disney was a big corporate sponsor for me. they matched any funds donated within a week's time frame.

9:38 pm

my school is a high poverty school, actually. surprised me to learn that.

9:39 pm

we didn't used to be. our demographic has changed over the last 10-15 years.

9:39 pm

well let's say hello sometime, Leslie ann. I am easy to find. I know one Babbler personally, Nef in Minneapolis.

9:39 pm

sounds like fun!

9:40 pm

sa5/14, either one please?

9:40 pm

and I live next to a hiogh poverty school--it just got a makeover (long story) and my house was included so I wouldn't spoil the looks of the project. I even got a T shirt.

9:41 pm

wow, nice roundbarn

9:41 pm

sa 5/14 like the st 4/6 but with a vowel inbetween the 1st 2 ltrs

9:42 pm

ty

9:42 pm

and not happy + male pronoun

9:42 pm

they did a coiule thousand dollars work on my yard--trees trimmed, etd. I am surrounded by three sides by the school, so they didn't want a blemish in the middle--the group that was donating all the work and money.

9:42 pm

congratulations LeslieAnn on your fireworks! Good for U!

9:42 pm

Congratulations Jerry81 on your fireworks! Good for you

9:42 pm

ah, ty

9:42 pm

hello 44 to go

9:42 pm

you're welcome, Feather

9:43 pm

hi harp

9:44 pm

Hello harpjane!How are you doing today?Welcome to grid

9:44 pm

hi again, stepped away for a while; 12 left for me

9:44 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you? Welcome back to the chat log

9:45 pm

I am still good, min :-)

9:45 pm

I'm good minver, long day and I'm glad to be home!

9:45 pm

how about you?

9:45 pm

I am good too, but getting progressively a lot more tired

9:46 pm

we had a leak from the local landfill a couple of days ago that sent a bunch of kids to the hospital (they are all ok), and Frank had to go to a meeting tonight to discuss it since he is on the county board, so he was telling me all about it - lots of anxious and worried people

9:46 pm

sa6/21 please?

9:46 pm

sa 6/21 word is sa plus cooking vessel plus vowel feather

9:47 pm

sa + cooking vessel + british thank you

9:47 pm

fireworks, thanks!

9:47 pm

minus that 2nd T in my clue, use Mins more accurate

9:47 pm

yay featherbee!

9:47 pm

Hello phandmd! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

9:48 pm

Congratulations featherbee on fireworks! Good for you!

9:49 pm

fireworks for me!

9:50 pm

Congrats, sue!!!

9:51 pm

Congratulations uusue2 on your fireworks! Good for you!

9:51 pm

thanks, peach!

9:51 pm

and min!

9:52 pm

uusue, that sounds awful!

9:52 pm

Well, I am off for the night, going to bed soon.

9:53 pm

(the meeting frank went to....)

9:53 pm

Goodbye phandmd!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

9:53 pm

mostly it was just bad smells, but it was bad enough that a bunch of kids and teachers got sick - the school is about 1/4 mile from the landfill

9:54 pm

night, phand!

9:55 pm

so they had people from Waste Management there (they own the landfill), and the Illinois EPA, and the school board, and the county board, and a ton of parents - Frank said people had strong feelings but it stayed civil, which is good

9:55 pm

what was the cause?

9:57 pm

they were digging a trench in the landfill and hit a pocket of decaying stinky stuff; the wind was blowing towards the school at the time

9:59 pm

so the waste management guy said they wouldn't do that any more when the wind was blowing that way

10:00 pm

but the county signed an agreement a couple of years ago to expand the landfill, and take in trash from neighboring counties, and people are not happy about it; this wasn't related to that, just normal operation of the existing landfill

10:00 pm

second sa6/24 please?

10:01 pm

hi une! Second sa6/24 is what I lose if I stare at the grid too long...

10:01 pm

Was the landfill there before the school was built? Building a school that close to a landfill is a questionable decision .... the same questionability if the landfill was allowed that close to a school. Waste Management spent a lot of time in court in my area for EPA violations

10:01 pm

tx LOL

10:01 pm

opposite of madness, une

10:02 pm

the landfill was there first, o-o

10:02 pm

I thought so.

10:02 pm

well i live in Montana where there is a long standing history of coporate garbage causing illness

10:03 pm

but of course no one on the school board now was on the school board when that decision was made

10:03 pm

ah yes, I have read about some cases there, harpjane

10:03 pm

the second sa5/14?

10:03 pm

(time for my evening cuppa, brb)

10:04 pm

10:16 pm

Thanks much, Min, ruru and sue.

10:16 pm

What do you mean I have an 00 icon ruru? Icon is an icon clue for Sprite's old Fridays icon theme.

10:18 pm

it looks like an icon from creepy photos dot com.. where BR gets all of his icons :D

10:19 pm

Now, now, ruru. Have you checked o-o's photo for today? I think it is neat.

10:21 pm

uh sure peach

10:23 pm

10:31 pm

oh ..... and r rated you wear them well

10:31 pm

Speaking of the last sh.....while living in CT I met one of his Lts. Told some awesome tales about the man. Got most of his high rankers out before he left.

10:32 pm

I think pretty much he was a horrible person peach

10:33 pm

I think you could use a little R rated in your life BR.. might loosen you up a bit

10:34 pm

I don't much about his tactics....I just felt sorry for his family.

10:34 pm

as I said before, what you think is the last thing that concerns me

10:34 pm

he had a lot of people murdered peach.. he was just another tyrant held up by the USA

10:35 pm

Oh, really, ruru? I guess that goes for a lot of leaders.

10:35 pm

likewise mr 00. I could care less what you think

10:35 pm

sadly.. that's probably true peach

10:35 pm

what is in your profile?

10:36 pm

a comment

10:36 pm

and a goat

10:36 pm

couldn't care less

10:38 pm

I really don't. Nothing surprises me anymore.

10:43 pm

I appreciate the restraint as you have mentioned ... I have no quarrel with you .... the games you play in your profile are your business too .... I am going to do my best not to be a problem.
