that's great pugs. i'm a bit sore. the exercise bike is taking it's toll on me. but i'll be okay. i have to maintain and extend the tolerance.
lol, jilli, that's my girl.
in my profile, cos
btw, soe, I'm enjoying that calendar -- so different from here!
augh i was afraid of that. doing it now'
how much time are you biking Rose
up to 3 minutes, with one minute of warm-up. that's just swinging backwards and forwards.
*that owas btw, ROSE. Typo time.
lovely, jilli. glad you like it.
it will get better Rose as time goes by
I should have thanked you long ago. Mea culpa.
i know, pugs. i also know that once i am in the pool everything will get so much better. still haven't heard from workcover re hydro. i really don't know how long it will be.
I looked into that which shared yesterday Rose--he has alot of stuff out--real deep stuff too
lets hope its not too awful long of a wait
NBT -- all 4s and 5s!
have you bought a new bikni to wear for that time? lol
nice jilli, now can i help you to NBS?
wtg jill!
any hints for the ca8 would be nice
I always try fest. Always.
*giggle* the other patients would drown from laughing so much, pugs
then you would have the whole pool all to yourself
as in window ca8, ca**, large container for clothes while on holiday + lots of males + cross letter
what??? with all those bodies bobbing around me?
tyvm rose
was that bodies or boobies?
cos, invited you to GT
I read that as boobies.
lolol, take your pick, jilli, both fit into the conversation.
Never used it before.. let' s
lets see how it works...
boob boob boobies bob bob bobbing around...
lol
roflol
oooh i can use this at work! nice!

just what kind of stuff do you do in the water Rose? Running or what
oopss, should have said fe4 free
pugs, usual stuff, walking, squats, high stepping, then i put a small flotation device around my ankle, and work in as deep water as i can.
fw and off to bed, goodnight all - sorry not chatty, very tired and working again tomorrow
Jilli, my dane Beulah is getting white on each side of her snout and shes only 3 is that common at that age
Night Flosey
sleep well, dear flosey
WTG FLOSEY!!!!
Well Rose you could go over to Liz's and get into the ocean
pugs it would be 2 days of driving to get there, hun. not that it wouldn't be worth it though.
pug, some danes go grey that early and some don't until 5 or so and rarely some don't at all. Nobody has figured out the genetics of that yet.
What colur is Baeulah?
*colur (or color if you prefer)?
thanks Jilli--just thought it awful young but I know their lifespan is not as long as smaller dogs
*I meant colour, sigh.
shes mostly all black
pug, on fb we just celebrated a Dane's 12th birthday and she looks great. OUrs were living to11.
Mostly black? With white? How much and where? I think there must have been a fawn or bridnle in her background, to provide the hidden black mask which is greying.
*brindle
good heavens pugs, talk about to long and short of it!! you have a great dane and a pug. wow!
that makes me feel better---the hair on her snout is not grey but snow white---she does have a little white on her chest and a tiny bit on all four feet and a few patches of brindle(which if you didnt know it was there you would never see)
yes Rose and a boxer too
Really? brindle on black? Most unusual. Are you sure they're brindle and not merle?
What colur are her parents?
what is the different? My pits and boxers were brindle and thats what the patches look like to me
Whay can't I write "colour"?
can't be auto correct, jilli.
Oh jeez, I can't even write "why".
Hi all :)
I only seen the pictures of the mother and she was black with some white
Merle is greyish with blackish marks.
poor jilli. hey ya liz. was just talking about you, lol
She was on the way to the pound and thats how I got her----I was told her mother was very mean--but Beulah is very kind
Should my ears be burning?
pug, it sounds as if Beulah comes from the harlequin family with other colours mixed in. Did you get her from a reputable breeder?
nah....was telling pugs it probably would take me 2 days to drive to your place.
no Jilli these are blackish with a light tan stripings---she only has a few patches and only if the light hits it just right can you see the brindle
Probably get cheaper flights!
Oh -- I see -- she is a rescue. Good fpr you, and glad you saved her, the love. I assume she has been spayed?
Jilli, my girlfriends granddaughter got her from her SIL and after getting her, they found out they couldnt have her at their housing so they were going to take her to the dog pound and my friend called and begged me to take her cause I had just lost my two boxers to old age
she was only about 8 or 9 weeks old when I got her
yes all my dogs are fixed
give Beulah a hug from me.
Okay, I will---she loves hugs--lol
Omg,Rose! My phone tells me it's 41 C in Melbourne! Bet the a/c is powering away!
And snuggle the puggles -- I have a friend with about five of them so I know about them.
your'e not wrong liz. and not a breath of wind either.
Poor thing!
I only have the one Jilli--my first small dog ever and I love her---she thinks shes as big as Beulah--lol
Phew, rose! And here we're having an arctic outflow, below freezing -- mild compared to the rest of North America.
-5 in vancouver according to my phone.
And bump paws with the Boxer too, if you can catch him/her
Still have Vancouver set from my holiday last July!
they all play well together--lol
wish you'd hopped over to Salt Spring, Liz!
Rose, how can you stand that heat?!
Because it was a tour group, really didn't have time. I'd've loved to meet you.
by sitting right under the air-con. pugs.
Ah yes, tour groups...
if you and don plan to move, hope you pick a cooler place
tasmania is usually a good deal cooler than the mainland.
where all the devils live? lol
It was an efficient way to get the most out of the trip and we were surprised that we enjoyed it much more than we expected! The group I mean. Never doubted thr Rockies or inside passage.
I almost said how about Tasmania, lol.
yeah, don and i will add to the devil population...lol
Comfortable 27 here today.
how far is that from where you are now Rose
It was a good group, Liz?
pfft liz...;-P
:)
Very good group and we never felt rushed, which was our main fear.
its 60 degrees here in my bedroom
brrr, pug!
tasmania? we would have to drive 50 minutes to the port, then hop on the ferry for 12 hours. or we could fly over after 60-90 drive to the airport.
Pug -- they're talking Celsius, not Fahrenheit.
Wind Speed Calm ... a rare phenomenon
quite a way then from you--will this put you closer to Liz
No, further, Pugs.
Hello o-o
morning OO and thats a nice change for you
Hi o-o
hey ya o-o.
we got low temps still and 1 to 3 inches of snow today :(
pug -- have a look at the map of Australia. Liz is in the north, rose in the south, and
tasmania is even souther
okay Jilli
pugs, 41C = nearly 106F. 27C = nearly 81F
I'm actually in the middle of the East coast - just above the widest part of Australia. Though Queensland stretches right up to the north, I'm right at the southern end of it.
27C is my favourite temp.
If you look at a map, pugs, I live 70 km below Brisbane.
end of next week 36 f and thats going to be a heatwave!!! I cant wait
It was lovely walking on the beach today, Jilli. This is a pretty average temperature for our summer.
Okay will look all that up
Perhaps it'll creep up to 40 F, pugs. Here's hoping!
there are 30 bush fires going in my state at the moment. tomorrow, winds are going to increase...looks like black friday all over again.
oh that would be heavenly :)
Well, Liz, not quite north Aus, but a lot norther than Rose, lol!
Really hope not, Rose. Stay safe - and all your family too.
hope none are close to you Rose
Yes, Jilli and you were right in saying that Queensland is north.
And my family too -- I have a cousin in Melbourne.
Jilli are you near Crossy and Joso
Did you ever make it over to Australia, Jilli?
thanx liz and pugs. we live on the edge of a national park. and just over the hill to our east are pastures and scrub.
we have a couple of close shaves...but we are prepared. and at least we don't have to worry about mother mac.
well they could run a huge long vaccuum and suck this snow over to you all
Sounds like a lovely area to live. Are you close to the Dandenongs?
Hopefully at the first sign of any danger, you'd just get out.
No, pugs, I'm on the same island as flosey -- we're just off the west coast of Canada. Crossy is well east of here and joso is in Toronto or thereabouts, if you know where that is.
in the foothills of the dandenongs, liz. my home before don and i were married is actually in the dandenongs.
I visited the Dandenongs, when we first moved to Aus. Only briefly though! Lovely area.
i have lived in the dandenongs since 1979.
I know where toronto is Jilli
Is any gold harvested from the Gold Coast, Lizlin?
Australia has the loveliest names!
brb
ugh, o-o. that was a tad stretched, dear.
If it is, o-o, they're not telling me about it!
ignore me, rose.
Shame I didn't know you back in 2009, Rose!
well I have Lizlin up north and grannyrose down south
Shame I didn't know you back in 2009, Rose!
If it is, o-o, they're not telling me about it!
My chat's being sticky! Sorry about that!
ummm which way to go for a holiday...lol
Hi Diz.
What makes the Gold Coast gold, Lizlin?
The sand!
jilli, first hubby and i built a house in a small country town called selby. after divorce etc i moved to the suburb of tecoma. i now live with don in upper ferntree gully. don and i often have a chuckle on our holidays at some of the names of creeks which we cross.
o-o, would never dream of ignoring you, mate. you give my day such a lift.
Pug, most peope in the US have only the vaguest idea about Canadian geography. When we were breding Great Danes in the Montreal area I had a call from someone in Houston, TX, asking me to help a puppy customer of hers with ear taping. This customer was in Vancouver. I laughed and told her she should do it -- she was closer.
We drove down Ferntree Valley Road - I think!
Or up it!
o-o, where is your quote from?
they dont crop their ears like boxers, Jilli?
Saw you quoting one of my fav Door's tracks yesterday, o-o - People are Strange!
I wish I had gotten Beulah's tail bobbed---that thing is like a whip---its funny, the kids love Beulah but shes has gotten them all with that tail, so now they cover their face as shes around them
Yes, pug, Danes in North America get their ears cropped, and they need taping afterwards. In the UK taping was banned ages ago, and recently in Europe too. Now some in North America are stopping it too. Is Beulagh cropped (I'm guessing not).
Robert Browning: Master Hugues Of Saxe-Gotha
I mean in the UK CROPPING was banned (tired, typos taking over).
oh, thanx, o-o
no shes not Jilli----alot of the vets here are not wanting to crop the boxers ears now either
Danes do not get their tails docked.
I know, but that thing is a weapon LOL
hers looks like a big question mark over her back--lol
But it's happy!
That's how we used to describe our dog's tail!
The tale of the tail
I think too happy
funny Beulah -- Dane tails are not supposed to be like that.
it really hurts when she whacks ya with it
I guess so -- they're supposed to be hanging low so when they wag they might swish on your legs a bit.
she does hang it low but when shes real excited or showing off she carries it over her rump
Truth or Consequences
well, I guess you'll just have to play dodg'em, lol!
lol, yes thats about how it is! But everyone that meets her loves her and knows about the tail
On the show, contestants received roughly two seconds to answer a trivia question correctly (usually an off-the-wall question that no one would be able to answer correctly, or a bad joke) before "Beulah the Buzzer" sounded (in the rare occasion that the contestant answered the question correctly before Beulah was heard, the question inevitably had two or even three parts). If the contestant could not complete the "Truth" portion, there would be "Consequences," usually a zany and embarrassing stunt. From the start, most contestants preferred to answer the question wrong in order to perform the stunt. Said Edwards, "Most of the American people are darned good sports.
are we going to play that OO--lol
my julia's tail was like that. she was a dingo-staffy cross. the most affectionate and intelligent dog i have ever se4.when she was happy to see you, or excited, everyone knew to stand back. lol
Beulah's tail worked the buzzer?
I remember that show OO, but just barely
I guess her tail could
I got Beulah's name from a church song I like very well called Beulah Land
are you planning on getting another dog Rose
Pugs: http://tinyurl.com/djopsm
not at the moment, pugs. but when i do it will be a rescue dog.
okay OO--is this about the show
BBL
the song
Rose, a dog would help you alot on your stress level, you know
Stay cool, Rose - and pugs, Jilli and o-o stay warm!
Beulah Land? I havent ever been able to find that on a cd----thanks a bunch OO
Be well
Bye Liz
both don and i prefer to maintain our support of a child in a third world country. and i have my fave charities, like ethiopiaid, australians against child abuse and canteen. i couldn't allow my support of these causes to lapse in order to maintain a pet.
{{hugs}} liz. xoxox
i have my psychotic canary...that is enough for now. lol
I was thinking of your health Rose---and be good for Don too
OO, you must know everything
Hardly!!
doctors have proven that to be true Rose
i have to be careful with the fur, pugs. don has asthma...which can become severe if exposed to certain fur/hair and in the c4 of ca4, their saliva.
no excuse--they have hairless dogs
he's getting close to it, pugs.
LOL
it's often the dander andnot the hair that causes allergies.
and dogs that does have fur that is good for people like don
you maynot have to spend so much on meds if you had a pup on your lap--lol
Anyway, peeps, I now have NBT/NBS and over halfway, plus sleepiness, so I'll bid you faerwell and...*poof
night Jilli
night, jilli. hope you have sweet dreams.
are you going to get to go to church Rose
pugs, you don't have to convince me, dear. it's don. he is very firm about what he believes in. * sigh *
okay, will drop it--lol
i managed to go last week. want to go tomorrow.
I didnt know if you felt up to it or noe
(not)
at the moment i am looking forward to it. and my tummy has settled now...at the moment i can't think of an excuse not to go...lol
you will f4 better going--its getting up and dressing thats the trouble, isnt it
not really, dear. it really depends on how much sleep i get. and if the muscles are not in spasm. hmmm...yeah, if i don't get the sleep, it would be getting up and dressed that would be an issue. don't want to fall asleep during the sermon, do i?
guess not, but you could pretend you are praying--lol
*giggle* naughty girl..lolol. and how do i explain falling off the pew?
you got hit by the power--lol
roflol...pugs...
okay, dinner ready. bbl
okay Rose, enjoy
good morning all :)
Good Morning Sprite :)
How are you today friend
hi sweetie! Thanks for your sweet card :)
and did you smile? lol
always smile when I see mail from you :)
am okay, and you?
thank you for your kindness
oh, much better
*hugs pug*
I dont know what happen the two days before--I just felt drown in darkness and wanted to cry for no reasons at all--glad it has passed
am so glad, darling. How did the situation with your sister and husband work out?
that dont sound like a real OKAY--:)
no more about it
oh, by the way--I got on amazon and got the movie on sale for six dollars! so its on its way
ok :) I wonder, pug... aren't you sensitive to certain weather changes? Like storm, thunderstorms and snow? Huge difference in air pressure. I am always down and incredibly tired when one of those comes up.
wooot! Oh you will love the movie.
no, not that Ive noticed
I was fine at the start of that one day and it just hit me like a wall, that darkness with in
so do you have a storm brewing there
ok, just a passing thought, lol. Yeah am really okay, just a bit off. Yesterday night a very bad dream of my father. And yesterday I couldn't get myself to make myself some food and my family was too busy. So messed up my eating pattern and my bloodsugars.
oh that is really bad Sprite for your sugar
that does sound like a weather front reaching you though. Might be something to keep in the back of your mind, next time it should happen?
I will, thank you
yeah I know :( Bad sprite.
It seems like since his last binge, that I just cant pull it together as always before and I hate myself for being so darn weak
you are going to have to put food back for just such times as those
you are not at all weak, pug. You have set in some changes since then and change takes a lot of energy. Maybe that is part of it.
you could fall into a como you know and thats not good at all
well I guess it could but Iam not happy having them-lol
you are so right. Sigh. Just couldn't get myself out of my safe little hole. Will do better today.
what about today? Have you ate yet
lol no, of course not... sucks to feel like that, dear pug. So wish we lived closer.
errrr no not yet. Took my medicines though, so that is a plus. And I do have some rice waffles here too... so I can eat some of those now.
Maybe you might feel better if you go NOW to get a few bits of something
just wait until Rose catches wind of you not eating for 2 days!
am eating two ricewaffles now. Will get myself a decent lunch later.
please do! Now I got to worry about you floating off to who knows where-lol
lolol I know I know! But I did ask my family several times yesterday, and they just were too busy... and I did eat dinner.
floating, me! Nah. Way too heavy for that, don't worry!
it wouldnt be your body floating that come to mind-lol
I really think I am not at risk, pug, don't worry. My sugar tends to be too high, not too low.
you sound like OO, dont worry, dont worry--lol
lol :) Well, I mean it, don't worry. Am eating something now and will do yoghurt and apple and specialK flakes in a little while. All good.
Worry does not put food in someone's mouth.
okay as long as you do so--:)
and worry may make us lose our appetite even. Hi o-o :)
are you worried Sprite
no darling, I am not worried. Just couldn't manage it myself yesterday. Today is much better and I will manage things better.
well, friends worry about friends is how I feel about it
do you have a place that can deliver you food on days like that
*hugs* You are a wonderful person, pug
If I have a problem ... there is one problem. If you worry about my problem, there are two problems. You are the source of a problem implosion ... well, maybe not?
no, not really. I just have to learn to make myself something to eat anyway.
hugs back, but skipping meals is not good at all for you
"You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair."
and also one of my favorites: "Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair. It gives you something to do. But it brings you nowhere."
I cant help it---if I care for someone I worry about there well being---I dont ask to worry it just happens
If a bird gets in my hair .... that bird has a BIG problem
yeah I know, pug. It is your loving heart speaking.
lol o-o!
whys that OO
have you guys ever watched Little house on the Prarrie
I am bigger than most birds ... not an ostrich, emu or gnu ... but most ... and I have a mean streak.
Not since they moved the house
kind like our darn turkey? LOL OO
no, never have, pug
I dont why, but for some reason the man that came to replace the old banker is how in my mind I picture, OO
I think you might like it Sprite--its about a family in the early 1900
they are feel good family shows
I wear a sign: Approach at your own risk.
guess thats bad for those that cant read then-lol
have heard of it, pug, just never watched it when they aired it here, ages ago.
you dont like stuff like that?
*makes o-o a new sign: "Please handle with care"*
this side up
not sure I do, pug. I think I might. As long as it isn't too sweet.
exactly :D
come again when you don't have so long to stay
roflol! "It's been a really long time since we last saw you. Let's keep it that way in future."
Sprite, may I ask you a question
of course, pug, you can ask me anything
if I put a music cd in my computer (where you put a game disc) will the computer play it while Iam doing something else on the computer)
yes, it should. And if not, you can get a music player program that can do it.
okay, thank you very much
These puny grids are annoying.
worst of them is they keep getting smaller while I am at it.
have they ever repeated a grid that you know of
no, never, pug.
well Iam under 30 now
woooot getting younger by the minute, aren't you :)
I wish!
where are you? under 10 and OO probaby got his fws in about ten mins.
Average Word Count for the last 2781 grids is 177. That number does not change.
a little over halfway here
Nah, I am a plodder
over so many grids it is bound to stay more or less the same, I guess
how many grids have you worked OO or do you keep count
oh wow found an 8 all by myself
Yahoo Sprite! w2g
I do not know .... but I can only recall one time I did not play since I paid. Computer was getting fixed.
how many years, if you dont mind saying
ca and ve
click on me ... date is in the upper righthand corner
sprite has been dong this much longer.
you are an 'old-timer' too, o-o... since december 2006 you are part of babble.
taking 8 years thats about 3000 grids
then about a 1000 more for you Sprite--you guys have worked alot of them
lol yeah... at an average of 177 words each... quite a few words there.
must not be many new words that come along for you guys
2,624 days.
maybe not every day anymore, but still rather often, pug
after OO showed me how to highlight and get the meaning of a word it helps alot to understand things now that I didnt before in the talk
3,434 days for sprite
you are such a quick learner, pug, and you have a really inquisitive mind. Love it.
next month I will have a year in
am really glad you joined us, pug
Iam more than glad I have and thank you for your kind words
there are so many wonderful people here
yes, the babble community as a whole is a special place on the internet. Lots of caring people. Not too many bad apples.
oh, yesterday Sprite I was watching a show that was filming in anstradam (know its not spelt right)
oh how nice, pug! Amsterdam is a pretty city.
showing the windmills and country side and the canals and trains
one day, pug, one day :)
I kept looking but I didnt see you --lol
lolol! I was the one behind that ornate streetlight
I think I would like your country and the train rides-LOL
darn, I missed you :)
yes I think you would. And I would love showing it all to you.
maybe once I get my own money I might make a visit----might be on a walker by then, but we can walk slow--lol
I have to go slow anyway :) We will get scoot mobiles and terrorize all the pedestrians here :D
lol--sounds like a good deal
cant visit OO, cant pass all the signs hes got posted--lol
I'd take the risk for the pleasure of meeting o-o
if we done it together, he cant take us both on--lol
hehehe
Rose went to eat and said she'd be right back and that was hours ago-lol
sprite, are windmills still used to grind?
did you look up that stuff Rose gave us
maybe dinner is extra good today. Or maybe dessert is :)
I was thinking the same thing but just wasent going to say it
yes o-o, they are. Especially for mustard and paint, and some still produce flour too.
I bookmarked it but didn't sit down to watch it yet, pug. Looks promising though.
he has alot of stuff out besides just that--I can watch the video but I dont have the sound
some of those windmills on that show looked really huge---about big enough to live in
ok, have to go, alas. Family demands my attention. *hugs* for now and hope to see you later.
Be well
hugs and bye Sprite
What did the carpet say to the floor? Don't move -- I've got you covered.
LOL--OO
OO, if you are still here would you mind cluing the ev7 and the ve8--please
adam and ev* + bird's home
thank you
ve + what is stitched at the bottom of a skirt + canvas shelter: t***
thank you very much
OO, I need to go do some things and will be back later to finish. Sorry to leave you a lone...Take care and have avery good day--and thanks again for the help
uconn, are you new to BABBLE?
good morning everyone
Hey there, crossy
very small for a Saturday!
{{crossy}}
{{peach}}
howdy gapeach ((ruby))
Hi Ruby!
we had so much rain yesterday that baby dg Raffie came in with black mud up to her shoulders and dripping wet. What a mess! All i've done today is wash "dog towels"
Peach, I don't see a player named uconn, what am I missing?
Hi ev1
you need a outside hose down area, where you can get the worst off before they come in
They just left, Molly.
it is too cold for that, I'm afraid
Ah, thanks Peach. I thought someone had snuck decaf into my coffeemaker.
hi a*n*I*t*a and moly
or even Molly*
Ruby, I don't know how you do it. I would go insane if I had that much mud being tracked into the house.
I am already insane
after dinner I had to wash the floor! But I love the dogs, so I've made a choice
yup. outside hose down area for sure!
I think the outside hose down area is a great idea. And hey, I love my kids, but they weren't allowed to track mud in the house. : D
you should have seen me trying to wash puppy's feet in bowls She is very strong!
nor was I, my mum would of killed me
I could also start hosing down husband who also doesn't wipe his feet....lol
my boy was bad for that. breeze in in his winter boots and track mark across the carpet
I've set up a special shower in the driveway for the dogs but it is too cold for that now
yes! see you can do both at once, ruby
I think it would be easier with husband than with that headstrong puppy
get a car wash wand adaptor for the hose and you can add soap cartridges to it and get them clean at tsame time
Well, my peeps, I think I need to get away from the computer for a while. bbl Have a wonderful day/night. Blessings.
tc peach
bye peach
I shouldn't complain; we've been very ucky wit ur weather compared to almost every place else
well,if I washed a dog outside today, he would freeze solid
good morning, babblers
{{annie}}
(((ruby))) you good dog washer you
A dog carwash, novel idea
I guess you have to make a choice: perfect, clean house and perfect garden or sweet and cuddly dogs
I'd choose dogs. If the house isn't perfect, tant pis!
All three would be perfect
I get the idea but what does tant pis mean in english
if you use bio soap on the dog wash wand you could reclaim the water for your garden:))
"too bad" or Auntie wet her pants
thanks, LOL
I don't think the garden needs water!
Ruby, your dilemma seems to be that you have more "dogs" (in size) than you have the house for. If you had a mud room or someplace to clean them off, you could have both.
yes! nice mud room with floor drain and hot and cold running water!
if I was stronger or if husband could hel, we could manhandle the puppy upstairs to a bath or shower. But there's no place on the middle level to wash her (except the kitchen) and there is no way I coud shlep a 50 lbs dog up the stairs.

bye,wolvie
ty
I am back. I was alone here for a while. TY for clues below.
hi sc
kind of pleasant to come in and have the first word i see be ta5/26, i think!
Hurshy, how are you?
it's saturday morning, so, i'm pretty good!
Great.
Saltwater ta5.
yep, that's the one
such a yummy first word
Do you have ve8/65 yet?
nope just started a few mins ago
i go top to bottom
how can you be disheveled if there's no such word as shevel
Many prefixed words are like that. Makes me nuts.
oh dear
i almost just tried fest. stopped myself at the s.
ve8 = intense, forceful
BRB, must get breakfast.
the prefix is dis so the root word would be hevel not shevel
hevel isn't a word either. and not necessarily, because, if there were two s's together, they might drop one for the combo word.
Post about some of those words like "shevel" (or "Hevel") for anyone interested in the linguistics behind it:

good morning, babblers
hey vi! neat
stuttering much? lol
Hello chj, Vicuna, and Aloy
Oh, it's doing that \n thing so the link doesn't work. I hate tiny.urls but hang on a sec...
what is for breakfast, Scrabbs?
The link works
Okay, try this: http://tinyurl.com/lnoy3co
Peach Greek yogurt with walnust on top.
Hi godthaab
morning everyone (i like the article, vicuna - will share it :)
that would sound good if i liked yogurt
And our fisherwoman is here
Greek yogurt has a bit of a different texture, hurshy.. you may like it
I could eat yogurt all day.
i don't object to the texture, i object to the kick
Hi Scrabbler
that little yogurt bitey flavor
and now it is time for crossy's famous tidbit of the day!!!
during the first american space walk, Gemeni 4 astronaut Edward White, lost a glove. For a month, the glove stayed in orbit with a speed of 28,000 Kph, thus becoming the most dangerous garment in history!!
The acidity. But I add fruit, nuts, and Truvia if I eat plain yogurt.
Interesting, Crossy.
someone must of posted a link instead of using tinyurl :((
yep it was vi
lol
must HAVE
that is one of my biggest pet peeves
Agreed.
it only started whn dr_g went to the new server
Mea culpa. I posted a long link. It'll scroll off eventually.
it only started when dr_g went to the new server
yup it will run off the page soon
must have = must've ... sounds like must of but IS NOT
do not care. I do English 5 days a week. do not care if I am sloppy when I am off the clock
the way this site displays changed for me a couple of weeks ago - the 'my friends' tab is down lower than the other two tabs
you can mark me later hurshy:)
but it's not fair not to care when it bothers people
Weird, welki. Mine's still the same.
well, if little grammar errors drive you that far round the bend then I must beg forgiveness
i will watch out in the future so as to not drive you totally bonkers
(Laughed at your icon cartoon, welki!)
:)
oh thank you crossy dear, i know it is a pain
We grammarians have a tough life, for sure.
i just kind of have this desire for things to be right.
lol.i am being graded on a saturday
grammar nazis
:)
No. Nazis are people who kill millions of people. Grammarians are people who get annoyed by "must of." If you can't tell the difference, grammar is the least of your problems.
ok..on that note i best leave for a bit.. things are getting..odd tc all
remember people..just a game.. poink
Poor crossy! Ran over too many pet peeves at once. Sorry, crossy!
it's like recently the bachelor apparently said something about how he didn't think a gay version of the show would work because they "tend to be more pervert". this guy's english is not perfect, it's not his first language. but everyone got all mad at him. and i was like, well, clearly he meant, overt. and i wanted to tell people just so they would know, but of course i have no way to enter the national conversation.
now, it may still be a stupid claim, that gay bachelors would be any more overt with their sexuality than he's being on the show. but it's not the same claim.
wish i could just delete the last few minutes of chat
Sigh. I never chat any more. Apparently a wise habit. But in any case, nice to see you all briefly! Enjoy the grid!
well, i love you, vi. bye!
Not gramnarians..we are working patriots...
hey vicuna - shared your article on FB with credit given to the writer :)
Word patriots..
working word patriots?
yeah!
I hate auto correct
morning all, can someone give me a clue for the of 7 please?
too bad working word patriots can't parlay their trade into big bucks
Yes
take your of7 garments to the salvation army
hehehe - autocorrect didn't correct 'gramnarians'
Morning :)
hi, hego
Ev7...nightime+Bird home
howdy hego
and a nice clue from Ru. :)
Hi hegs..
( Hope that was correct) ;)
Hiya Honey
thanks hurshy, got it
If I try to put in hego...I get he go..where he go?
I no know.
Are you on a computer Ru?
Nope on da phone
lol - i was thinking, how else could he be playing on the internet! i am such a fogey i forget about smartphones and ipads and all that
I see, thus auto correct.
lots of access Hursh.
yeah i'm still a dumb-phone owner - and reluctant to have even that kind of cell at all!
*evil laugh*...we can get here from anywhere
are you on a business trip, ru?
Wondering where Ru is at 7AM.
I am glad you have rejoined the chat hurshy....
And I'm not the only one.
no, no you're not
:D
No welki.. I am in bed cuddling with dylan..it is pouring rain here.
Ah a gorgeous redhead, then.
sounds like an almost perfect saturday morning
Ha..too early for me to be dating..
Happy to hear it's raining in Ca.
well maybe the date started last night
Welki and I are on the same evil wavelength.
He is the cuddliest..dog
Nice dog, for sure.
hey i am cuddling too, but with cats
<--not cuddling :(
..avoids off color joke..
since when?
I am going easy on hurshy...
ty :)
I see...
:D
If this were late night..I would have riffed...A good one.
sorry I missed that.
Are you afraid the kiddies are Babbling.
Yeah..we get a little raunchier...later afer the flip
I must stay up one of these days.

WTG!!Fog!!
bfsog - when did you move to Canada?
June 2011, Hi Haz! Long time!
Hi Haz!
HAZ!!
ATALANTE?!!
Hello! Goodness, another blast from the past. Ata!
hello :)
Atalante!!?
Actually moving back to the UK for 2 months in 2 weeks, then back to Canada! I spent the last 6 months in Australia, I get about!
do my eyes deceive me???
Huge blast!!!!
Let me recover my balance, I'm all aquiver.
I am stuck at home with a NEW PUPPY
You certainly do, bfsog. Are you going to settle in Canada?
I had heard rumours about this new puppy. Tell all!
he looks like yours! let me find a pic ...
Happy to hear of Ata's puppy. :)
i think someone did mention you had a new puppy - yes, and haz was saying you weren't devoted because you hadn't put up lots of pics, you just had lots of sea life pics
I had even looked up flickr to see pics and all I could see were sea slugs and things unmentionable.
Yes I am, I married a Canadian and I consider it home! My sister is getting married in the UK so I am going for an extended holiday for 2 months to see friends and family.
Oh, congratulations on getting married!
Nice for you fog.
there, refresh! I have them all on facebook not flickr :(
thank you
He's called Loki, blue roan, 10 weeks old and a little sweetheart , if very very bitey
aw, buppy
are hobbit and silverclaw adapting?
he got his first sandy nose this afternoon :)
Oh! How gorgeous!!
He does look like Dempsey! White spot on head and white tail.
Hobbit is no more, alas. My beautiful girl. Silverclaw is Not Amused. But she's getting there, slowly
The bity thing is a pain, like little needles on your skin. But he'll improve.
His kennel club name is Flash Gordon and he has a white flash on his head, and yes, a very white little tail.
oh dear poor hobbit
Flash Gordon - I love it!
ahhh - check out this crowd! (hego, did you meet dylan when you met ru?)
I have been called that, as it is my last name. lol
I know :( but it was very quick and very painless, so I couldn't have asked for more for her
No, I didn't meet him Welki.
Hello welki- it's a gathering of the very oldies.
how is Dempsey?
well, as I live and breathe...hello Atalante
Even Vicuna was here earlier on although I wasn't around at the time.
Ain't it something Annie?
I know, I just missed her :(
Dempsey is doing very well. We're going to be doing his silver 'Good canine citizen' award in a couple of weeks.
sure nuff!
sure nuff!
:)
His hardest thing is sitting still for 2 minutes but with the aid of the kitchen timer we're getting there.
lol
gosh! how clever of him :) getting any spaniel to sit still for 2 minutes is a feat!
best of luck to Dempsey!
But his recall is a thing of wonder, basically because he's a velcro dog who doesn't want to leave sight of me for too long.
The classes have been very good for him, he's much more confident than when he first arrived.
How old is he now?
And Loki - sleeping well, eating well, chewing valuable shoes?
Dempsey will be 2 in June - he was 9 months when we got him.
did you send ata a shaming email, haz?
Dylan will be my last puppy. .that is for sure
chewign valuable books (horror!), sleeping and eating very well, he's just had his second jabs and the vet was very pleased with him. He loves the beach and loves bouncing and pouncing on rocks
He's a grown doggy then.
welki, I didn't but the force of my disapproval at the lack of photos must have transmitted itself to her.
You can't say that for sure Ru.
baxter was our first and last puppy, ru - i've always had 'previously owned' dogs. puppies are so much work
You're still relatively young.
it's that telepathic thing going on, haz :)
Oh, sorry, you mean the puppy thing.
.I will adopt and foster older dogs now after Dylan
just for you, Haz, I'm trying to get onto flickr to put pics up!
I hope it will be a long time hence.
Me too
me three
Much appreciated, Ata. I'm not one to talk, I'm hopeless at getting photos uploaded (or even taken).
See une if you need a dog.
She will get one to you, no problem.
She is a doggy hero.
I would make her drive it out to me ..lol
She might do it.
Une..is a doggy...Saint
she is!
true
*plays heavenly music*
i hear angels singing
ha! must be singing to hurshy's heavenly tunes!
or barking....
So, Ata, apart from the puppy, are you kept busy? I never got to hear about your NI trip last year. Were you impressed with the weather I ordered?
*brings in tabernacle choir*
oh! it was very wavey and cold, but lovely diving and I literally got to do nothing else. We were diving all day and in the lab half the night. But we did eat a mint aero cheesecake!
We went to the Giants Causeway at sunset and watched lots of Japanese tourists get very excited, and walked over the very unscary rope bridge near ther
That's good - life's never so bad when you can have mint aero cheesecake.
<--staring at the 2nd column e's.
Carrick-a-rede. I crossed it when I was young and foolish but I know better now.
i understand mint but what makes it aero?
the whole of Portrush seems to function on mint aero cheesecake, mint aero muffins and chilli and sour cream chips
It's a type of chocolate bar, hurshy. The original aero is just full of chocolate bubbles but there are variations with mint and orange.
sounds wonderful.
You must have had potatoes, though, Ata. In some form or another, you can't leave NI without having potatoes.
and they are sooooo yummy
we had chilli sour cream chips, and chilli sour cream potatoes
i don't like chili or sour cream
photos slowly uploding in flickr ...
That's okay, then. We love our spuds.
Great to see everyone...bbl
I'm very intrigued as to how NI has adopted mint aeros
I don't know - I've no idea who thought up the idea but I remember seeing it in a bakery and thinking I could make it.
Bye, hego.
I venture to suggest that Bailey's cheesecake is even better.
it's fabulous. the best was a mint aero muffin the size of a football with a mint aero sticking out of the middle of it
Ah yes, portion control has not reached the bakeries of Portrush and surrounding districts.
i was tempted by a cheesecake in the grocery store the other day, until i looked at the nutrition facts
mmmm cheesecake
You wouldn't eat it every day but good cheesecake is wonderful.
see though it's SO fattening that it would mean you should eat no other treats for a while
which, i would intend on doing and then totally not do
You have to weigh up whether the guilt outweighs the pleasure.
or whether you outweigh a rhinoceros
They're kind of chunky - you leave yourself room for maneouvre.
:)
brb
good morning all
Good morning, wv.
hello haz
Could I get the stats for the 2 7's and the 2 8's, please?
ca8/50, ve8/65
ev7/40, of7/56
ev7/40 ,of7/56
EV 7/404
Hello, Haz. Hope you are well and smiling.
check my flickr now :)
Hello, o-o, yes, I'm well.
Will do, Ata. o-o is the former BR.
en 5/22, pls
hi former BR! :)
nm
Hello, Atalante.
oh i had not made that connection. makes sense now.
What do you have Loki filed under, Ata? You've only got 7,000 photos, you really need to use your camera more (checking if sarcastic font is still operational)
should be the first ones! but in a set called Loki
en 6/24, pls
Okay, checking now.
how is puppy training going? loki is so cute.
who's the guy?
Loki is beautiful!
OH! thanks for the stats
he is! he's a funny little pup
halfway, NBS and NBT - time for a quick break
he's got that cocker grumpy old man look
Bye, wv.
well, he's got house training, and knows his name when he feels like it ...
That's the only thing I find strange - you can't really see the whites of their eyes when they look straight at you.
if house training is good, everything else is gravy!
exactly! he has accidents, but he's only 11 weeks old so we can forgive him!
yeah that's awesome
but who is the guy???
We missed out the stage where the pup can be lolloping round like mad and then suddenly HAVE to sleep.
oh, "new" man. not new at all though really :P
(Sherlock Hurshy is on the case)
he's still at that stage :)
Atalante, still in Canterbury?
nope, up in Aberdeen now, in the northern realms of Scotsland
Ata will now know all the Scots words for babble.
och aye
saying that I saw an sk5 that I only now know from Scots talk
Are you able to understand people okay or have you had instances of needing translation?
skeeve isn't a word? must be too informal. spiders skeeve me out
there's one guy that I cannot understand at all. I just nod hopefully. Everyone else I've come across so far isn't toooo bad
I have been to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, USA ...not likely to have any resemblance to Scotland.
If you're resident in Scotland, does that mean you'll get a vote in the referendum?
yep!
what's the referendum? secession?
yes, voting for an independent scotland vs staying in the UK
Crazy, isn't it? Someone born in Scotland who now works in England doesn't have a vote.
What have I missed? I am scottish.
and ata, who has the english flag up here, does?
it is a little strange ....
Yes, the leader of the SNP is keen to make Scotland independent. There's to be a referendum on the issue.
Could I get a clue for ca8, please?
pb for haz
wouldn't it be a bit disadvantageous, economically and whatnot, for scotland?
hello, all!
bfsog - Alex Salmond wants to break up the UK.
in which only people living in scotland can vote
depends which side you believe, hurshy!
ca8 - a type of window (old-fashioned)
Yes I know that I meant what were you discussing? I saw someone say och aye...
TO :)
Hello, TO.
Is the referendum contentious like the Quebec one was/is in Canada?
Ata: :)
and haz :)
yes .... it's a bit of a big issue. peoppe are either very for it or very against it
Sorry, bf, we were talking about Ata's ability to understand the Scots speaking (she's English, don't you know)
I don't think there are going to be riots or anything about it, but I think the 'Please stay with us' camp is beginning to get started.
you're all so wonderful over there, why can't you all just get along?
I am both Eng and Scot, and most of the scots I know do not want there to be a referendum, however there will be one.
i am lollygagging about here. two days ago without power i was moving VERY fast lol
We mostly do, hurshy, but sometimes you get people putting politics above getting along.
How novel, Haz ... not
it seems to be very edinburgh and glasgow vs the rest of scotland at the moment
I know, o-o. Politics is the same all over the world.
Sorry Haz didn't get that clue?
Edinburgh and Glasgow agree about something?
ca8 rhymes with another word for cellar
so this is an urban initiative?
Do you have power now, TO , or are you staying elsewhere?
ca8 - start with what you put your clothes in for holiday, finish with a herb used with lamb but change the vowel.
apparently! I've been told that most of the yes vote is in glasgow and half of edinburgh. don't know which half though!
Scotland has their own government, own currency. I believe becoming independent will do more harm than good for Scotland
got it thanks
we don't quite have our own currency :P
oh yes, i do, ty. lost it wee hours tues and returned llate wednesday. they took us off line again yestedar for several hours whilst connectiing other customers.
They've got their own banknotes (so do we!) but they've been told that they won't be able to keep the pound sterling if it goes ahead.
I was out for 24h. This has been a rough one.
yes. i feel for the many who still do not have it.
except we might be able to, or might not, or who the heck knows!
I know a few. I can't imagine no power for 3 days with this cold & ice. I hope they get it soon before the next snow....ugh.
I just can't see it happening, I'd be very sad if it did.
me too
and, whilst debating england's greatness, hursh, see my icon. :)
Scottish people can be very close minded and the general feeling of contempt towards English is the only reason. Explain to them what it will mean and they will not listen
ahhh
Haz isn't close minded :D
*smug*
well, ds, once it thaws and refreezes. all bets are of4. i had to drive to phila yesterday and the detours!!! i was terrified of driving under large trees.
Gosh, it's ages since I've claimed smugness about anything.
but haz is the Queen of Everything, so she has to be different
me too. Stay safe!
you deserve it. and because you can make mint aero cheesecake
you as well. still near Q town?
Valley Forge
i don't even know what that is, but i want it right now
AND I can get my dog to sit sitll for two minutes.
utter smug!
i can get my cat to sit still for...ages
I can get my pup to lie still for hours
If he lets me down on the night....
me too, as long as she's sleeping
it has been a while, ds. i forgot. you stay safe as well
he won't ... probably :)
what happens if you don't get the canine good citizen thing? are you not allowed to take him off your property for walks?
he doesn't get a big rosette to look smug about
loki is just adorable. but my inorance of dogs wants to ask breed? *hans head in shame*
he's a cocker spaniel :)
Nothing will happen, I'll just be utterly disgraced.
and will never be able to show your face in town again
lol
oooh, i thought so! you and haz have matching pups then?
Never, I'll have to wear a disguise.
yes! very matching!
what do you put you clothes in for a holiday?
as will Dempsey
have they met yet?
hahahaha do folks expect a vets dog to be perfectly behaved?
No, it's just that people know that we're doing the classes and they'll ask at the surgery how we got on.
pardon my lack of punctuation, keyboard wonky
nm
en 6/24, pls
ah so utter shame for you *and* Mr Haz!
en6/24 - to intertwine, weave in.
bb in trhee, time for eyedrops
Complete shame. Fortunately we know the person who is doing the test so if all else fails we can bribe him.
excellent!
!!
But don't tell anyone.
there will be much baking before the test
The Kennel Club must not know.
i considered going for CGC with my dog but once I saw one of the requirements that you had to stop and talk to someone without your dog greeting them i knew it would never happen
dog has never met anyone who's not her newest best friend
ouch yes that seems unlikely!
Hmmm ... politics and the Prince and the Cardinal at work.
Yes, the dog must not jump up on the examiner, just sit and look impassive.
gosh
tyvm Haz
You're welcome, bichon.
that is quite a feat.
And be given a bowl of food and not touch it until told.
it cannot sit and look smiley?
and this is only the silver certificate you said? what do they have to do for gold?!
cartwheels
I don't think they'll mind if it's smiley.
For gold they have to cook a dinner.
while not smiling?
Jeeves didn't smile.
o.0
do they have to be able to tie a bowtie correctly?
Absolutely, although they are allowed to seek help with cufflinks.
phew!
I know, a bit unreasonable otherwise, I think.
especially for the females
i protest a5/24. *hands monkey a banana*
Atlante, what are you doing to save the world these days?
that was ca5/24, i i ma interject something babble related :P
lots of stuff! I'm currently trying to work out how the UK should monitor stuff on the sea bed and helping people understand marine sponges
I must go, Dempsey's walk is overdue. Lovely to see you, Ata, and everyone else. Don't leave it so long again! Toodle-oo.
do marine sponges require beggar's licenses>
I won't! Give Dempsey a prim pat!
always enjoy the photos.
bye haz!
bye bye, haz!
Be well, Haz
ttfn Haz
Bye1
sponges are unloved
what is loki's coloration called, ata? i had never seen it until i saw dempsey.
it's called blue roan
roan is the white / grey / black mix in the coat
i don't believe i've even seen it here in the states. is it peculiar to cockers?
springers do have it, I'm not sure abotu other breeds
ah, that makes sense.
this is an interesting page - shows how puppies develop their colouring - http://www.powerscourt-cockers.co.uk/a\ndvice_pages/colour_development.htm
oops, can you tiny that pls?
ermmm I can try!
s'ok. i will go get a pen to copy it
http://tinyurl.com/q7yt7u8
did it :)
:)
its fascinating, they start off black adn white and "grey" up as they get older
i am wondering what a blue roan cat would look like.
oooh gosh I don't know! it would be amazing
wow ata that is fascinating!
isn't it! so interesting
trying to picture orange roan
there was a cat at the shelter i volunteer at that i might describe as roan. he looked like a cattle dog :)
is this where you got loki?
wow, la. domestic shorthair?
awwww a cattle dog cat :) I forgot that cattle dogs do roan too. No, it isn't, I just saw it was such a good description of roan
clue for the fo 4 please?
i hate to go but i have spent the whole morning trying on outfits, since i am having a friend for tonight's dance.
yes. i have some pics, hold please.
a description of o-o :P
Old person
and i have done little constructive.
thats what weekends are for!
old person?
Out of touch old person
ty got it
gosh, nothing changes in babble, does it ;)
Unusual spelling
actuallly, it is a word of scots derivation meaning someone stodgy or oldfashioned in habits or attitude.
i have ke 5/18 which is a plural can anyone clue the other ke 5 please?
lol ata
here is the kitten i was talking about: http://imgur.com/fQyzKAw
Atalante, thanks for posting the info! I'm a Springer owner but love all Spaniels!
i want it!!!
what a lovely kitten!
spaniels are the best :)
too late, he was already adopted. :) but very sweet. his name was martin, but his new family was considering naming him wolverine
anybody?
wolverine! fab :D
i've never seen that coloration
me neither! i think he was a stray so no clue what the parents look like
i have never replaced my cats. lifestyle would not support pets right now
by coincidence, ata, we fostered a litter of kittens that my husband named all after x-men. we kept storm.
ke5 sounds like the arm part of a shirt or blouse
ooh, look at his grey hairy mug!
TY Molly!
he looks like an old man. but not a fo4/11.
Well Loki's kennel club name is Flash Gordon so he's two superheros in one :)
hahah
is the first he word he 4/5?
hello ata. I haven't seen you for a long time
hey ruby
Yes
hi ruby!
I thought of you yesterday when there was something on BBC about finding 30 million year old foot prints on the Sussex (if I remember correctly) coast
ty jaxx
800,000 year old footprints :)
also, when you sent me a picture of your neighbor's chow covered in mud as my baby girl looked like that yesterday
A real old fo4
lo6?
indeed, jaxx
awwww you have a little chow? my friend is now on her third chow, a black one called Leonidas
leslie i dont have it but am looking
it's incredible that they could find those footprints and that they are so ephemeral that they have to be studied immediately and mostly by photographs
We are not on 6 and 7, Ruffino and Rafaella.
We are not on 6 and 7, Ruffino and Rafaella.
He is 2 and magnifique and she is one and very cute and funny
what ruby?
and she is not little! My mother would have said she was big-boned
oh never mind
My Ruby died last year at 2 months past age ten, which is pretty good for a chow chow
now, not not*
leslie?
yes?
i havent found it yet
how are you ata? Is your area affected by the floods and horrible weather? I've never heard weather reports before where they said the weather is horrible!
haha. faked me out.
hello LeslieAnn and MLF
sorry lol i really hate this grid
hello!
an editorialized weather report!
did you get lo 6 la?
hello 96 to go
hello TO. Did you pick out a great outfit?
i have 50 to go
57 to go here
owl i dont think either of us did
no, ruby, i have a closet full and nothing to wear. and truthfully i do not think he really cares. i feel like a teenager. :/
just had a guy come to the door asking if i wanted a free lawn care estimate. Was wearing a neon shirt that said "Weed Man." Not sure if he was selling lawn care.
think of to express sadness for lo6
how wonderful to feel like that!
LOLOLOLOL
perfect clue, thanks to
leslie rotfl
hahah
no, ruby, it's a PITA :D
I wouldn't mind feeling like that again.....
ty for the perpective.
awww poor Ruby, but I'm glad you've got 2 new chows to love! Are they both orange?
Hello babbleworld!!
They are both shaded blonde and are now very hard to tell apart. He is a "rough chow" so his hair is straight, long and a little bristly. The vet says he's the best one she's ever seen. Raffie, although pure like all the others, has tiny ears and small eyes and the fluffiest, longest fur Ive ever seen When you touch her, it feels like yourhand is in a pillow
hi jilly
hello jilly
hi there harp...quite the winter weather this week!
Sorry for the long dog story, but I haven't seen ata in a very long time
hey jilly
works for me! I love the snow. I just wish I could go skiing without foot dealies. Oh well.
how lovely!! they both sound wonderful
hi ruby and TO
ruby, they sound cute. they are large dogs?
I thought I could never replace Ruby, but Rufie is now the dog of my heart
and they love each other, cavorting like wolves
I have to get up to mom's tomorrow to fill her med box...thank God for 4X4!
nbt
is she doing ok, jilli?
I just saw Ruffino's photo - what a handsome boy!
too well...LOL
lots of snow, jilly?
I've just come the the decision to let her be, can't convince her to move, so it'll be to have something happen to either convince her (unlikely) or to cause injury that forces the issue
right. you have to let the situation "ripen."
oh no. that is hard.
Not as bad as east coast and pretty typical for how Montana used to be during winter.
Love your comical cryptic comments harp!
what. you mean i'm the only one who knows what i'm talking about? I'm shocked!
ve8?
Jill, your mom sounds as stubborn as mine
said with force
LOL, possibly Rows, the only problem is that your mom is probably my age!! REally chuckling now
:)
ty Jaxx
harp, ve8 intense
ol5?
OL 5/18 - ending to different branches of study (like with myths)
thanks nbt nbs
might as well ask for of7 while i'm at it. my last 2
Jill, my mom's age is pretty irrelevant to her physical health and her mental health
she's quite bad off
funny how it jumps out after teah clued it. ty
huh. did not know that could stand on its own
didn't think it would either
nvm fireworks!
any clues before i go?
if enable allows putting a y on the end of ca4/9, why not that?
yay, la!
OF 7 - compound word, would use it in reverse order more, to throw away
So sorry Rows, it must be really hard for you, at my age it is expected to be dealing with a mom and health issues
been dealing with mom health issues for most of my life
i have to go, my eyes are very tired. guess they will be until i get new glasses.
happy babbling, all, so nice to see you all
i spent 7.5 years to graduate from college because i was home taking care of her part time
now she hardly wants anything to do with me
I am sorry rows, think mine feels that way sometimes
that is tough, rows.
yeah, my entire family situation is pretty f-ed up
what i've just told you is just a slight glimpse of it
so i'm glad to have nice friends of whom i can basically make my own family
I sort of lucked out. When my mom was 84 she married a wonderful man who loves to keep her on track!
nbt/nbs and halfway
it also makes it easier for me to be living abroad
She feels guilty aboutyou spending so much of your 'youth' looking after her.
no, jaxx, it's not like that at all... my mom has quite bad mental health problems that make her feel quite the opposite actually
she feels like she should be able to control where i live, and that i should be living in the US and not in Honduras
she basically disowned me when i moved here
A mixed blessing?
yeah well, it is what it is
i just hope to settle somewhere in the next 5 years and start a family of my own that won't be so messed up
I am off to make evening meal.
Doesn't make the pain go away though Rows...(((hugs)))
I am off to make breakfast.
See you harp!
;) Hey rows, my son's available!
lol Jill
i'd go out with him if he were in Honduras
JILLY! SHAME ON YOU! I'M TELLING!
Let me know next time you're in US...LOL
You have violated the motherhood prime directive!
oh Jill, btw, my aunt is running for a State of Montana House position apparently
And that is?
REally??? What is her name?
yeah she's running to be a State Representative...
Katy Walton
you probably haven't heard of her yet
i think she just started her campaign
Wow...just another small world connection with us!
haha
Where does she live?
i wouldn't vote for her, personally, because she's Republican and i just can't stand that party
but she's a sweet lady, who knows, she might do a great job
bleghhh.
she lives in Thompson Falls
i've visited once, it's beautiful up there
funny, that's relatively close to us. in Montana terms.
sh6? either one?
Ah, definitly small town, very pretty
yeah
very republican
my favorite was Coeur d'Alene on the way over there from Washington
sh6 sounds like bringing in the sh-----\
rhymes with adam's wife
and hi all
thanks
ty jbp and hi!
i don't have the other one yet, harp
hi jb
Well then rows, you simply must visit our state again...any and all free thinkers are much needed.
:)
i definitely wouldn't mind visiting again
though i have no idea when it'd be
i will be visiting the Seattle area in April :)
3 babblers out in W montana, me, harp and LBD
come to my house right now rows, bring your shovel
there's one in plains also but i forget her name.
hahaha
i don't have a shovel :P
#1 son is about to go out and dig us out
i might be able to find a machete around here, but not a shovel as easily
the far left L... i have 2 of 3... one that sounds like Bogart's nickname, one that sounds like the plural of lotus
Oh rows, WE can provide any needed equipment!
:P
and hi, Rows.
Hmmm, Seattle, April, hmmmm babble meetup perhaps!
our neighbor likes the exercise and digs us out. it's a little embarassing. i think he thinks we're old people!
hi jbp :)
hey, i'd be okay with them thinking that
OMG Harp!!
I have a ev7, what are the first two on the other 7?
ca7
My shovel needs to be replaced. I bought the last one at Honey Hardware in Darby, during the blizzard of 1996. As I was leaving the store, a man offered to pay me double!
ty
sorry that's the 8.

I was about to say, but my c is grayed!
We shoveled our way into Mass that blizzard harp,

Howdy, all. Lol, Kap. Same song, different girl!
I WANNA BE.....BOBBY'S GIRL I WANNA BE.....BOBBY'S GIRL....
But I feel so dirty when she start's talking cute
I've been singing Beatles tunes - today is the 50th anniversary of their landing at JFK
I wanna tell her I love her but the point is probably moot
because she's loving...
oh, wait.
Paul was the cute one
She was just 17, you know what I mean, and the way she looked was way beyond compare...
Now I'll never dance with another
WHOO
when I saw her standing there
Well my heart went BOOM
when I crossed that ROOM
good morning/afternoon, everyone :)
there ya go kaplan! much better!
How did we get from there to "get naked girl I wanna go all night and make you scream baby baby OOH"
trivia - their first hit to really make it big (first in UK, then here)?
Life was so much simpler then.
WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROOOOOOOAD?
Please Please Me, or I wanna hold your hand?
although, may not want to delve too deeply into "she was just 17, you know what I mean..."
correct, kap! please, please me
Yeah, but they were around 20, not woody allen's age
LOL
I listened to NPR this moprning with interviewing the guy who photographed that concert
He likes them younger than that Kaplan
of7?
Apparently.
me too kap! fun interview
of 7 - something thrown away
I know, and that's why I knew the answer.
lolol, kap
you caught me!
We are all baby boomer NPR listeners
thanks
I know the beatles from the oldies station, I wasn't born when they first came out
How could somebody not be born when the Beatles arrived?
It was so exciting.
I was exactly the right age when the Beatles showed up: 14!!!
I know, it is shocking... I almost made it though
I was born the year they appeared on Ed Sullivan.
Yes, I screamed too
exactly the right age, swmbo!
So did you watch it?
drawing a blank on the en's -- any clues?
But of course!!!I cried too. VERY exciting.
I don't know. Maybe. Did they appear before or after June?
there was a really good PBS documentary on 1964 as the year that changed the world in lots of ways
en + interlace
you can watch it free online
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperi\nence/films/1964/
I don't have an equivalent of that in my life... no Beatles moment
ty bichon
The sixties were a GREAT time to be a teenager, so much happening and so much HOPE, enthusiasm, so much LOVE
My sister was about 14 at the time. I'm sure if she watched it, the rest of the family watched it.
Except the assassinations were a bit scary
Of course there were a few bad things too :(
oops, must go, bbl to finish
hagd all
Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
en 5/22, please?
don't start me crying. Moms Mabley sang that and I recently saw a documentary and it was poignant
iT WAS AN EMOTIONAL TIME ALL AROUND.
sorry for the caps

hagd everyone
woohoo my surrname is in the grid! tiara for me!
You'll do anything to get that tiara
But it has to be your Babble name.
I knew it, but I forgot it
Oh, I remember
good Kap
good taste, fine tobacco.
awww no tiara? :(
Oh, okay.
But just for 1/2 hour.
To the British, it's the Parliament, to a smoker, it's a____
Give the man the tiara!
it's a kent
I'm a fairy princess! :P
That was a great cigarette commercial to most of you who are too young to remember cig ads on TV
Oh, okay Bea
How are we all today?
Hego, that was the word.
oh, off to pb for me
Judging by your tiara, I would say awesome.
lol hego
and now he can add princess to his title.
To a Roman, it's a mon-u-ment, to a smoker, it's a Kent. La la la la the taste of Kent...more taste fine tobacco.
Then there was "It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long."
Going to costco in a bit. cant waitbeen years
that had to be a long time ago.
Cos is easily entertained.
I forget what cigarette that was, but those Mad Men advertisers were getting racy.
A silly milimeter longer, 101...
I wish Ru was here.
Look up classic cigarette commercials on You tube or google and I think you can find them
LSMFT. Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.
I'd walk a mile for a camel.
Did you know that another of the Marlboro Men just died of lung cancer?
I'd rather fight than switch.
I'd also walk a camel for a mile, but not without a water bottle.
not surprised
It's what's up front that counts.
Winston tastes good like a (beat beat) cigarette should...
What do you want- good grammar or good taste?
A little dab'll do ya.
Take it off- take it all off.
She's on an unstoppable roll!!
Brylcream and Noxema
That's brillcream.
Beatles generation grew up glued to TV.
Ding ding ding.
Mama Mia that's a spicy meatball!
Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat.
We're number too, but we try harder.
Silly rabbit...
Oh, I'm done.
With the ads. Now back to gridlock.
Whew!
We are number one in number two. A local septic compnay.

NONONONONO
none of them are new - but most are in great shape (and you'd also have my notes) - yes yes yes!
http://www.allonsdanser.org/ my friend just called to say he is leaving for here right now. my house is toen apart cleaning and i have nothing to wear.
he'll be pleased if you answer the door au naturel
buckwheat zydeco was on jimmy fallon last night

"Sorry I'm naked, but I have absolutely NOTHING to wear!"
ROFL
this is a family site
no thanks, it's too hot. and the eyes are still dry along with all my skin - thanks for asking though
"You say we're going formal tonight?" "Well, that's okay. I'll wear my gownless evening strap." (Thank you Shirley Bassey.)
oh good. i was afraid welk scared you off with her lewd comments ;)
<-- is still PG rated
oh, don't i know! :P
now i am afraid to say ANTHING. lol
so we're at this dinner/dance last night and the band is setting up.
i watch this guy who looks like a bouncer putter around the stage - he's big and tall - maybe 6''2" and 350 pounds - looks like you wouldn't want to have him mad at you
the band starts, he walks to the mike, picks it up and starts singing, 'patio lanterns' in a sweet little tenor voice - everyone's eyes opened, was afraid we'd ALL fall on the floor
oh - before he started, he took the mike and tried to get everyone all Ãnto the event - 'so wasn't that the best meal?" "can't hear ya....'" and his voice was deeeeep then
the end.
oh too funny!
well we will be waltzing and two stepping tonight.
how's your sight?
a bit blurry but he said the lens does not correct astigmatism, must get glasses.
he is very pleased at healing and said i can resume normal activities.

Hi, how are you o-o?
Okay, good bye.

Hey Ph & o-o
Hi, Soodle.
Ph, I've 21 left, so maybe I can help?
do you have any of these words: EN 5/22, LE 5/10 (1st one), or the last ME 5/12?
Le 5/10, add a vowel to the end of the fasting period before Easter.
That's the 3rd one.
ME 5/12, me + snake letter & abb for North East.
thanks!
Sorry. Add a vowel to the end of the spectacles part for the LE.
that's the 2nd one. I need the one before the spectacle part.
I am guessing you don't have it.
Thanks anyway...
le5/10 -- take the extended spectacle part & swap last 2 letters
hi all, help with first en6 pls
Phew! Thanks Mom 23!

I am done and clue for the next several mins. After that need to get ready for my date tonight...
Hello Sue. :-)
and can clue...
hi soodle!
Hi, any hints for ve8?
fiercely stated, ehnotsomuch
that's an excellent clue, Sue.
Ve, the bottom stitched part of a garment, and first 3 letters of opposite of exit.
Then in plods Soodle with an ungraciously clumsy clue!!! Lol
:) Thank you!
No, it is nearly the same clue I used to get that word.
might even be the same one...
well, I gotta go now. Have a good evening all.
bye phand!
Bye Ph
How is married life treating you, Sue?
very well, soodle! We are very happy.
(fourth time is a charm, and all that)
A triumph of hope over experience! Good for the pair of ye. :-)
there you go :-)
And, Peri, are you still having domestic problems? Unappreciated snow-shovelling etc....
yep
well, they do appreciate it but no one else helps
Very frustrating. I feel your pain.
it is ok if the snow is light and fluffy but the last snow was heavy and wet and now has turned to ice in the placed where I did not shovel
*Needs to go visit Peri with my steel-toed boots*
I must find another place to live
bummer, peri!
I wish you would visit, Molls.
Frank is out shoveling our snow now - I try to get him to wait until it stops (otherwise he winds up doing the whole thing twice, and why?) but he hates it and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible
Have you ever seen Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back? Where they go on the ass kicking tour at the end? That is what I was thinking of. : D
I have not seen that, Molls
he will have less to shovel each time, tho, sue
Where is that young, strong and healthy son of yours Sue? : )
true, peri
we are supposed to get snow showers tomorrow which will not amount to much. more concerned about a possible storm coming next week
he shovels sometimes too, Molly, but he has a really tough schedule this semester and I try not to impose on him
spring will be here in 41 days!
at the moment he is studying for a fluid mechanics test
but if they shovel together it will get done much faster, sue
that is what I was hoping for here
<-----Could do with Molly & her steel toed boots right now. Several people in my immediate vicinity could do with a sharp kick in the you know whats. :-(
true, peri, and sometimes they do that
<--- actually has steel-toed boots (left over from the days when I worked in physics labs - they are official safety shoes)
Steel-toed boots are great for liquor stealers
they are good for kicking your experiment when you are frustrated with it too (as long as you keep away from the more delicate bits)
Think of the damage we can do if we went on The Official Babble Ass Kicking Tour. And how long the list would be.
there you go, Molly :-)
Lol, I've got over THAT particular gripe, Molly. I have loads more to complain about now. And loads more recipients of those boots. :-(
You are much nicer than I am then. Steal my liquor and you are on my shit list for a LONG time.
FW
yay peri!
¸¸.•*¨*•Peri!!¸¸.•*¨*•

(Virtually kicking heaps of asses as I type). Whoo-hoo, Peri!!!! Good for you. :-)
I have gained back all the weight I lost when I had the flu
ty ty
and the roll around my waist seems bigger :(
but I am still thin
I am going to read for a while. happy babbling
bye peri!
Bye Peri. Stay strong. (((())))
hmmpf, I thought of the ol5/18 and didn't even bother to try it - couldn't imagine that it might actually be a word!
fireworks!
egads, just clicked on my weather window and saw that our low Tuesday morning is supposed to be -14F. Brrr!
WooT WooT WooT uusue!!
That's nasty cold, Sue
Just survived that here...18 degrees today and seems blissfull!
Oh my! Would you look at that! FW!
Wow, you are warmer than we are, Jill! Today it is 13 and snowing.
Yay soodle!
The only good thing about this winter is that no one is whining about how warm it is. Mother Nature has a habit of evening things out.
actually it is unusually warm in Alaska - they have set record high temperatures, and have had avalanches due to melting snow
The snow provides moisture and jobs.
The weather seems to have gone a bit bonkers. We have had Atlantic storm after storm now since before Christmas. Rivers have burst their banks all over the country andeverywher is totally waterlogged.
WooT WooT WooT soodle!!
Yes - also record heat in Australia and Brazil
i whine about how warm it is here :P
Cheers, Jilly. 😃
though, that's not really something to whine about as much as the narcotics problems blocking my cell reception...
Well rows, I always say one can put more clothes on when it's warm versus how many one can take off!!
Hi Rows :-)
hey Soodle
Slainte soodle!
Soodle, flooding is not good. Has the moisture hurt the rhubarb?
yeah i just found out some interesting news... apparently in my town, they've blocked all the cell phone lines (all service providers) for 3 days because of narcotic trafficking problems in the jail in or near my town...
oh dear, rows, that sounds a bit drastic!
not sure how that's going to help solve the problem, but it sucks for me right now cos i was supposed to call a friend today to get together and then i couldn't
yeah they don't really do things logically here
That's not good rows!
o-o, lets just say the rhubarb will be diluted this year. :-p
i just don't really get the logic behind it... sure, cutting off cell communication will make drug sales harder for the days that it's cut off, but once it's turned back on, i'm not sure how they aren't going to just have the same problems again
Soodle, how far are you from Dublin?
Yikes, Rows. It sounds like a storyline from Breaking Bad.
Phone, brb
haha
maybe story writers from Breaking Bad spent time in Honduras
Jilly, I'm only 35 / 40 minutes from Dublin's north side. Why? (She asked hopefully...)
hehe Soodle
A fellow Babbler, Riverdance, is visiting here in May. Finally! At last! A Babble meet up that I will attend. I'm very excited.
nice
no one happens to be in or near Seattle, are they?
awesome, soodle! I would love to visit too but money is a bit of an obstacle at the moment...
stidmama and stidgmere are in NW Washington, rows, and there are babblers on Vancouver Island (and some nearby islands as well)
hmm
i'll be in Tacoma for a week in April
My friend is now living in Dublin. Nothing definite, but Ireland is higher on my list!!
gonna visit my best friend :)
Yes rows, I might even be able to get over to Seattle
Lol Sue! I know the feeling. I describe myself as 'financially embarrassed' at the moment. ( and for the foreseeable future.... :-(
Where is she exactly rows?
Ah, just read your post
and it's a he haha
Howdy People.
hi cos!
ah, finally decoded your post, rows :-)
hello all....can someone give me STATS for the 8's please?
decoded my post?
Nope...put it in grid form? LOL
somehow the he haha flummoxed me, rows
ca8/50, ve8/65
haha i was just saying my best friend is a boy
her best friend is a male I assume she meant
ca8/50 and ve8/65
tyvm!
ah...got it!
Hello cosdem!
just got back from costco and walmart. idiots out everywhere.
sometimes one just has to type out words without trying to find all the letters... ;o)
ok, I am off for a while, see you all later!!
LOL, did plenty of them today
Bye uusue, take care!
how about STATS for the 7s?
bye sue!
ev 8/40; of 7/56
ty, o-o....
ev 7/40
I like the quote on your page o-o
Jj, find in lemon grass today?
I found some a few weeks ago in Missoula, going to wait til warmer weather to order a plant from Amazon.
Well, think I need to head out; dinner cooking..bbl
clue for the en5 and en6?
sorry en6/24
i already have the 6/18
en6 ... en + tie something up in a net
en5 ... en + the blue stuff overhead
thanks... got the 5, but the 6 is still eluding me
... sorry ... the whole en6 is ... to get something all caught up in a net ...
hmm i just think of ensnare or entangle
or entrap
... think in terms of to join together
nope, this must be a word i don't know
Bobby "Boris" Pickett say the Monster **** ... change the vowel
... think of how the cogs on a gear join together or interleaf
sang
net = me4/6
ahh that helped
Some women wear me4 hosiery
thanks jaxx and dose
Nice clues, doseffing
... of course i couldn't thing of the one molly gave which i'm sure would have worked first time
some men do too molly.. but mostly on Halloween
It's a chick thing Dose : D
... sorry ... i just admire them
lol
hi all. clues for the 8s?
... ca8 ... type of window
ve 8 ... very forceful ... even angry
they both end the same
sorry if it sounds rude to ask this, but are there people who don't have access to lickety's clues? i just didn't want to link you and then have you be offended or something
... i remember a couple but it is unusual
i just wondered because it seems often that people ask for stats
but all of the stats are on lickety's page
Some people won't look at Lickety's list. I'm not sure why because they ask for stats here, which is the same thing, to me.
yeah it is pretty much the same... hmm
Good morning - perhaps it's because they don't want a clue to the alphabetical order?
I don't know. It seems everyone has their own set of "rules" about how they do these grids. Some people will say they finished without listing, but have been in chat asking for clues all day.
or they prefer to be annoying ?
stats without a list is a little tougher than stats within the list.. i ask for stats when i don't want to give up and go to the list yet...
yeah its more obvious if you see it on a list with a word before and after it
exactly...
What gets tedious is when people say that they have...and then give a list of the (for example) te words they have. Then they want to be told what they are missing.
... if you just have the stats you don't have the alphabetical placement ... often once I list I'll type the words from the list without even looking at the grid because there's only one thing that it could be
same here dose
... of course ... I can't find the of7 ... please
I've only done that for dayswhen licketydidn't list otherwise there is no point doing that I agree Molly
Well, it's a whole different ball game when there is no Lickety, Cos. : )
of7: not on + a group of actors in a movie/play
true true all bets are off then. .
... silly me ... thanks ...
i just cant get those 8s. good clues and ty but missing them somehow
i'm having a hard time with the first fe 4/8
... gotta run ... early hockey games tonight ... "Allons y!" ...
anyone have that one?
bye dose!
<---guilty as charged for the Te words :D
f
but usually that's when there is no lickety yet :D
*afraid to guess what the rest of that F is from Mere*
i only have fe not fa 4.8
I can't access Lickety's list for some unknown reason. I'm just pathetically grateful & triumphant when I get fireworks. What's seldom is wonderful.
yeah i was asking about the first fe 4/8
fe 8 is a jewish sound of disgust
oh great, haha
i don't know Jewish words :P
f + not him backwards
made a silly guess and it worked! haha thanks ruru
That would be fe 4/8, Ru is trying to trick people.
FUNNY OE RURU. GOT IT THOUGHT.
freh?
fe 4 I mean
ooopsie.. ms perfect nailed me again :D
GOT BOTH 8S NOW. TY FOR SUPER CLUES.
LOL
NOT FREH.
brb time to raid the fridge now i have food
FE 4 8 is plural
yes I know not freh. I was doing a funny :P
So with all the global warming, why is meltoff not accepted?
we're using an antiquated dictionary from pre-polar vortex days haha
now that Tammy Faye Bakker has passed stidgmere. .Meltoff has been deleted from the dictionary
also email is not in grid ever.
I agree, rows. Oh, that makes good sense ruru.
Gran Mere, you have to excuse the old fart Enable word list. It has not been updated since the year 2000.
Okay, glad to see we are all on the same page with good words in the grid.
any clues for the E second column third row?
firewords! tx all cluers - lo6 that ends like the 8s was my last
congrats!
yay dan

2Bit just clued lo6/21

back to knitting.. :oD
*Treads carefully as Pen knits and monitors chat log*
*puts on safety glasses*
don't worry....i don't point at people....well...almost never... ;o)
Thank God, you won't put your eye out.
i just have to be careful when i lean over the keyboard...
I point at people.. well.. never mind
That must get embarrassing at the pool.
that's why I always stay in the deep end :D
Just as well, the shallow end is for dimmies.
back. had girl scout cookies.
never knew little girls made such delicious cookies
Well thank God I know that. I would not have slept tonight. : P
i know you were quivering with curiousty
you made me want to eat cookies.....and i don't have any....
And pssst...little girls don't make them, they just hustle them.
ack i want girl scout cookies
someone should ship some to Honduras
Keebler makes them. Ryans dad works for Keebler
I like the caramel coconut ones
tell Ryan's dad to open a Keebler branch in Honduras :P
I do Cos, I just quiver with curiosity. When someone posts "bbl" I wonder WHERE ARE THEY and why have they not cb.
I'm a sucker for girl scouts hustling me.. so cute
Thin Mints frozen. The best.
Samoas and the shortbreads are the best.
what are the samosa?
samoas I mean
caramel and coconuts
ah.. those are the best
they are also known as caramel delites.. depending on which part of country
*wipes up drool*
I bought 20 boxes of these and put them in the freezer for later
wow..I'd be 300 pounds if I did stuff like that
what the heck? Fargo: The TV Series coming to FX with Billy Bob Thornton
20 boxes would gain me 2.3 lbs probably
i think caramel delites and samoas have different recipes
I watched pulp fiction last night .. what a great, great movie
Ive only seen it once. Cant stand Uma.
I love uma
she was fabulous in Kill Bill
"Hi I'm Uma" didnt Letterman bomb when he joked about her name on the Oscars?
I liked her in Batman and Robin :P
she's the new Angelica Huston :D
*ducks*
*takes off earrings and weave* MOlly hold this...

Tarantino is a goof ball..but he makes good moviews

I'd buy the popcorn Molly

I'm in if there is popcorn. Texting...ahahahaha!
they shoot people for that nowadays :D
found an 8, hoo-aah
nbt
lofat, still not a word
sorry .. I'm still reeling from the Seahawks comment :D
the creator of flappy bird is pulling the app off the market and not selling it saying it has brought him nothing but grief
flappy bird? (zoom! over my head)
its a stupid app that i deleetd after 5 minutes of playing
*wants some of Cos' free time in my life*
I have to be immature becaue I have to think like a child at work :-D
so, a ripoff of angry birds or something like that?
*Puts Cos on the "Will Download Anything" list*
so, did the app maker say what kind of grief? like, complaints from buyers who wanted their 99c back?
you gonna make me google it, huh? (not gonna do it!) LOL

For some people, "fireworks" is just too ordinary.
well since i usually list, i never announce fireworks....doesn't seem right to call it that...
I've never been quite sure why announcing your DONE! is so important.
it gives one a sense of closure, i think...
You could be right Pen. I forget there are people who need closure for things like that.
it brings cognitive satisfaction... ;o)
Now I'm thinking potty training and the I'M DONE thing. : D
lol
it's not always good to have silent fireworks
I go through phases.. quietly finishing and lately wrapping it up and "having closure?" I hate that word
Oh that's right. Then there is the stage beyond potty training where one has to be loud doing something else.
it's better than whimpering :D
Much better than whimpering : )
HA
Maybe we should talk about our dogs. Oh wait, I don't have one. : /
well if you did..I would advise you to give it a prim pat
Oh damn, the water thing, I need to get paper towels.

Yes Cos, get under your desk and put your head down.
we dont do that now. we go in the hallways and duck
Okay, then post something dramatic on Facebook.

*Sob* All those faithful followers will wonder if YOU'RE OKAY
I like to keep them in suspense
I am craving baked pears and I have never had them before. Weird.
Maybe you're pregnant : P
with my luck it'd be the antichrist
Damien...we'll call him CosDam
*turns off 700 club
Q.
*The 700 Club magically reappears on Ru's TV. HE IS SAVED!! HALLELUJLAH!!
I sometimes watch Jan Crouch so I can laugh and laugh and laugh.
I remember this one time she went to this third world country and were giving away cheap barbie knock offs and praising herself for being so generous
Yes, because third world kids don't need food or medicine, they need Barbie dolls.
sorry wandered off!
