{{hugs}} and hi pugs. it's always so lovely to see you, hun

1:31 am

same to you Rose :)

1:31 am

hmmm....how do i answer that? umm, i tried to do the ironing whikle standing this morning.

1:32 am

have decided i don't want to do that again, not just yet anyways.

1:32 am

Hi Rose and Pugs and everyone else :)

1:32 am

so I take it the pain is still very much there

1:32 am

hi pugs and rose

1:32 am

Hugs and Hi Liz--how are you

1:32 am

Ironing is never a good thing to do! Especially in summer!

1:33 am

hello liz. and yes, pugs. but i don't try, i won't know.

1:33 am

and Lin

1:33 am

Liz

1:33 am

Well thanks - went to a lovely sand sculpture exhibition today.

1:33 am

wheeee!! and here's flosey, hi hun

1:33 am

should be in bed, not even seeing straight

1:33 am

Hi Flosey

1:33 am

Hi Flosey

1:33 am

oh, they can be so amazing, can't they

1:34 am

Oh I bet that was nice Liz

1:34 am

nice, liz. in a garden display, or indoors?

1:34 am

how are you doing today, rose?

1:34 am

It's the 2nd year the exhibition / competition has been here - the artists are so talented. I took quite a few photos.

1:34 am

I have only seen them in photos

1:34 am

flosey, a bit of pain. tried to do the ironing while standing. not ready for that.

1:35 am

On the sea front at Surfers Paradise.

1:35 am

I bet those will make some nice puzzles

1:35 am

Hadn't thought of that, Pugs. Perhaps. I'll look at that idea later. The theme was myths, legends and fairy tales.

1:35 am

how lovely, liz. the weather was kind to you?

1:36 am

Sprite would love that!

1:36 am

Beautiful weather. This year though, they've put each sculpture under a canvas cover - last year the weather wasn't kind!

1:36 am

I thought that too.

1:37 am

they are still le5ing then...

1:37 am

I guess so! I think the competition travels around Aus!

1:38 am

we have had some very welcome rain here. i could almost hear my plants singing...in the rain...hmmm that could be a good song.

1:38 am

We really need some rain. Everything's very brown.

1:38 am

thats great Rose--did it cool it off there too

1:39 am

ditto here, liz. after the lovely green of spring too.

1:39 am

65 to go and must get to bed, too tired, rhave to shop in morning and afternoon ladies bridge here so have to provide tea and sweets

1:39 am

Sleep well Flosey

1:39 am

yes, pugs. i was actually COLD this morning.

1:39 am

night Flosey, enjoy and take care

1:39 am

night, flosey. sweet dreams, hun

1:39 am

I remember cold - mind you, don't like the memory!

1:40 am

ty dear ladies, enjoy the grid, it seems to move along nicely

1:40 am

thats good on your swelling though Rose

1:40 am

pretty much the first time i have been cold for about 3 years.

1:41 am

So a welcome relief then!

1:41 am

well that may be partly due to your meds

1:41 am

yes, pugs. it is....so...tomorrow my first hydro session, and perhaps our last counseling session. don and i are feeling very comfortable with everything now.

1:42 am

its going to be up in the 50's here today but with heavy rains coming and the possibility of severe storms later

1:43 am

thats so wonderful Rose glad for you guys

1:43 am

oh, oh, story time. there once was a sister called fang who when asked for her banking details refused to give them. then she had the gall to ring the bank and ask them why her inheritance wasn't in her account. LOLOLOL

1:43 am

Glad that the counselling has worked out so well for you and Don.

1:43 am

Silly woman!

1:45 am

she has delayed probate in so many ways..don can't believe she has that much idiocy in her head. she has left everything to don to do, then complains because the process is so slow. for goodness sake! the process is slow because she won't help.

1:45 am

so is that all tooken care of now

1:46 am

Catch 22!

1:46 am

well, yeah, pugs. with don driving backwards and forwards 4 times in one day, trying to get all the paperwork done.

1:47 am

Don't think the sculptures will make puzzles pugs.

1:47 am

i have a sneaking suspicion don just wants it all over, so he can get her out of his life.

1:47 am

ahh thats too bad Liz

1:48 am

Sympathy for Don - tough situation.

1:48 am

well can you blame him

1:48 am

she just seems to have a few problems with dealing with stuff

1:49 am

no i don't pugs. i feel sorry for him. when i see and feel the sense of 'family' with my bro's and sons, and he doesn't have it with his.

1:50 am

well he has one through you and yours Rose

1:51 am

That's always nice, pugs but it's not the same.

1:51 am

yes, love. he delights in my boys and my brothers and their families. he now voluntarily gives my SIL's a kiss hello and good-bye. and enjoys the banter between us siblings.

1:52 am

That's lovely.

1:53 am

I know it isnt Liz, but through Rose he can have a family life. Fang probably cant help the way she is--or cant see herself in others eyes

1:54 am

I think you're right there. And something is always better than nothing - i know that sounds insincere but it's not meant to be.

1:54 am

she is what she is I guess

1:55 am

Rose is Don's other sister like that too

1:57 am

his other sister is so much older than he is, she may as well be on another planet. at least she's not bitchy.

1:59 am

is that all he has is 2 sisters

1:59 am

Liz, is your new car still behaving its self

1:59 am

he has a brother who has health issues, and a wife with some sort of psychosis.

2:00 am

Yes thanks - it's wonderful!

2:01 am

are you talking about yourself or another wife--lol and is his brother older

2:01 am

lol

2:02 am

lolol, his brother is older by a few years, well....i was referring to lawrie's wife, but if you think the hat fits me, okay, i'll wear it also.

2:03 am

Only if it suits you!

2:03 am

pfft, liz :-P

2:03 am

;)

2:04 am

Clue for ag 7 pls. I have the ag 4 and 5 which are on either side of it but can't find that 7!

2:04 am

And then I found it!

2:05 am

2:05 am

That's the one!

2:05 am

ha!! that'll teach you to take the mickey out of me.

2:06 am

Sorry she says quietly!

2:06 am

Hysterical - loved the sharks at the bottom of the escalators! Photoshopped of course but very funny!

2:23 am

I'll just spend some time processing them then I'll send them. See you later or tomorrow. Hugs.

2:23 am

2:24 am

2:24 am

lolol, pugs. you echo how i feel exactly

I have always had a fear of wrecking and going into a pond

2:28 am

good morning all

3:16 am

good morning Sprite--hugs

3:16 am

hi pugs *hugs* Thank you for your sweet email!

3:17 am

yw--things any better

3:17 am

did the story come through

3:17 am

husband didn't come home last night. But I had a talk with Tim and got through to him and he is going to make things right between him and his father. So that part went ok.

3:18 am

thats one step forwards then and how about you--you okay

3:20 am

yes I think so. A bit too much stress yesterday, but hanging in there. How about you?

3:21 am

Iam good---I got to go walking again and its to be up in 50's today---but with heavy rains and chance of severe storms later

3:22 am

yay for walking and getting out of the house! The heavy rain and storms don't sound appealing, but at least they will probably clear up a lot of the snow.

3:23 am

thats what Iam hoping! I can now see patches of grass and lots and lots of mud--lol

3:24 am

lolol things will be very messy for a while. But anything is better than the snow, right?

3:24 am

so true!

3:25 am

as long as we dont have tornados and such I can dress for the rain and take a walk

3:25 am

that in itself is worth all the mud.

3:26 am

have you felt like going out and are you taking care of you

3:27 am

the fight kind of messed that up. Made me feel very unsafe and stressed. But I did what I could with eating... had 3 meals yesterday and drank enough. Didn't sleep much the night before but I did sleep tonight.

3:28 am

Just a quick hi, sprite and rehi, pugs.

3:28 am

hi Liz! *hugs* How are you!

3:28 am

I thought as much--dont let it set you too far back Sprite

3:28 am

Sorry you're having another tough time, sprite. Hopefully the photos I've just sent you, pugs, rose and ruby will help!

3:28 am

re hi Liz

3:29 am

oh thank you Liz

3:29 am

I'll chase up that nail polish again at the weekend, sprite.

3:29 am

Just don't get too jealous of my beautiful home city!

3:29 am

Just don't get too jealous of my beautiful home city!

3:29 am

Ooops!

3:29 am

oooo thank you Liz! And if all works out, the tough time will be short this time. Husband should come home tonight and Tim and he will sort this out.

3:30 am

Good :)

3:30 am

I really worry a bit about your friend, Liz. I hope it is just that she is busy and not that she feels uncomfortable about it.

3:31 am

I'm sure that's all it is - I sent you a copy of the email I sent her - so she knows that I'll sort it later in the year, if that's what she'd prefer.

3:31 am

then it's all good :)

3:32 am

Anyway, time for dinner here. Enjoy the photos - and perhaps you can be a bit jealous when you see the lovely beach! (Actually you can keep Surfer's Paradise - high rises etc etc)

3:33 am

enjoy your dinner, Liz *hugs*

3:33 am

bye Liz, enjoy

3:34 am

you went all quiet all of a sudden, pug?

3:34 am

FWs

3:34 am

I was letting you talk to Liz

3:34 am

congrats Diz

3:34 am

wtg dizgrannie! How are you?

3:34 am

hehehe pug, but I want to talk with you as well :)

3:35 am

I feel I talk too much sometimes--lol and sometimes I think you might just like peace

3:36 am

So do I pugs :)

3:36 am

{{hugs}} and xxxxx to my spritey.

3:36 am

no, you don't talk too much, I love your talks, pug

3:36 am

good morning?

3:36 am

liz, don was very impressed with your photos, hun

3:36 am

I is okies have to go for heaps of test, but I'll soldier on. One of these days they will work out what the hell is wrong with me....LOL

3:36 am

3:37 am

3:37 am

bye Liz :D *hugs*

3:38 am

bye and good luck Diz

3:38 am

sprite, tried to do the ironing whilst standing today. not gonna try that again for quite a few weeks. don had to help me onto the bed. it was almost like when i first woke up post-op.

3:38 am

gotta go to a dietician to put ON weight, with all the probs with me and huby this past 18 mths I have dropped down to 49.5 kilos with me boots on

3:39 am

oh dear, rose. Babysteps, remember? Please take it easy, my darling. You will get there. In time.

3:39 am

awww diz. that is so not good, hun. xoxox sweetie.

3:39 am

oh thats not good Diz

3:39 am

ouch dizgrannie, that is seriously underweight!

3:40 am

can you sit to iron? Or, on the other hand, stop ironing and just fold stuff while it's warm. Nobody will care if there are a few wrinkles here and there!

3:40 am

yes it is Sprite, seeing I am 5ft 6 1/2

3:41 am

Look at me, a shriveled-up old lady and my husband still thinks I'm cute LOL. It must be his eyes. My wrinkles have wrinkles

3:41 am

ruby, i have been doing so. but today thought i would challenge me. wasn't the best idea i have ever had.

3:41 am

{{skinny dizgrannie}} my monkey arms could hug you twice!

3:41 am

hehehe your husband just has good taste, ruby

3:42 am

Ruby, like your way of thinking....I never iron, fold clothes up straight off the line or clothes dryer.

3:42 am

lol, ruby. that was what i said to don the other night. thank-you for making me feel desirable.

3:42 am

same for me. Don't iron at all.

3:42 am

when I was single and still working, I would iron in front of the TV, but I| was a lot younger

3:42 am

challenging yourself is ok, rose. Just errrr... make it a tiny challenge? :)

3:43 am

I dont iron either, but I like doing it

3:43 am

and wore nicer clothes. Now I wear weaters (several layers in this freezing house, and don't care much

3:43 am

ah well, will agree to differ, if that's okay. i say if your clothes were cheap to buy, iron them to look better, if they were expensive, iron them to look after them.

3:43 am

oh another person who likes ironing. So does Haz, pug!

3:43 am

or even sweaters*

3:44 am

I could name several things Rose hasent been very smart in doing while trying to mend--lol

3:44 am

I can admire that, rose! Just won't do it, lol.

3:44 am

when I worked, I always wore silk shirts. Now those shirts hang in my closet, unworn

3:44 am

yeah ironing rocks!! husbands leave you alone when you are ironing...lolol

3:45 am

whys that Ruby

3:45 am

pffft, pugs. :-P

3:45 am

I don't dress up any more. I live in the country and don't go any place

3:46 am

very true, pugs. Our ro4 needs someone to watch over her, lol.

3:47 am

hey, what is this? gang up on ro4 night? lololol. i know, i know, you are all just watching out for me.

3:47 am

so Ruby--dress up just for yourself--I do sometimes

3:48 am

wish we could, ro4! For now, you just have to imagine me and pug standing next to you, BEFORE you go and challenge yourself again.

3:48 am

we do but alot of good it does--lol

3:48 am

you only tell us after the damage is done

3:49 am

I don't even wear my wedding ring most days, afraid I'll lose it AGAIN. I lost it for about 6 months and the new housekeeper found it in the bowels of the washing machine

3:49 am

on her first day!

3:50 am

your new housekeeper sounds like a keeper, ruby

3:50 am

she could have put it in her pocket and I never would have known

3:50 am

at least she was honest and good luck for you on her finding it

3:51 am

as a teenager I cleaned house for some old people and they would leave money out just to see if they could trust you

3:52 am

not really nice

3:53 am

our first housekeeper would carefully put aside any change she found, but I'm sure if she found paper money, it went into her pocket.

3:53 am

soys

3:53 am

soya

3:53 am

soyas

3:53 am

ouch, that is awful, ruby

3:53 am

maybe not, but in a way I couldnt blame them---the elderly are taken advantage of many times

3:54 am

sorry, bad nel won't talk any more

3:54 am

that is true, pug. Must have been nice for them to find out they could really trust you.

3:54 am

I never ever thought to steal off of any of them

3:55 am

no of course not. But I guess some people do.

3:56 am

when I was working in the nursing home, aids would steal from some of the residents and I thought that was so low

3:56 am

some people I worked for as a young one would tell me if I moved something to put it back ... they told me to take out the garbage ... I did but made sure I put it back.

3:57 am

name those proper nouns: Gollum's real name Famous actor of action movies, fights aikido style

3:57 am

lol o-o :)

3:57 am

morning OO--I bet you got extra pay for that-lol

3:59 am

there was a sad story on face book yesterday--A 93 year old woman was holding a sign up she had written wanting to find her son she hadent seen in over ten years and wants to see him or talk to him before she dies

4:00 am

no takers for the name the proper noun game?

4:00 am

I dont know Gollum

4:01 am

that sounds like the pot of Philomena

4:01 am

he is a character in the Lord of the Rings series.

4:01 am

Smegal?

4:01 am

yay zooz! Smeagle, but you get points for that :)

4:02 am

HI nono

4:02 am

and the actor? First name is Steven.

4:02 am

oops..i was not lurking...honest :-)

4:02 am

{{zzoozz}} and hi hi no no

4:03 am

Nice to see you all :-)

4:03 am

segal

4:04 am

seagal

4:04 am

that is the one, dingdingding!

4:05 am

half!

4:05 am

zooz and o-o win the prize today

4:05 am

choosy

4:06 am

nice going, ruby

4:06 am

ok, slinking away

4:06 am

oooh what is the prize!

4:06 am

I meant for getting halfway, lol, not for your nice attempt to make that choos thing work.

4:07 am

a hug and a kiss, zooz, and a ray of sunlight.

4:07 am

I knew you weren''t being sarcastic; it's not your (sweet) stye!

4:08 am

hehehe I can be sarcastic, but I have to be pretty mad and frustrated to do so. *hugs*

4:08 am

aww thanks..blushes.

4:11 am

Has any one been watching the winter olympics?

4:11 am

no I haven't. Not much of a sports watcher.

4:12 am

I have on some of it

4:12 am

I watch as much as I can, but the Fr announcers are very partisan and annoying

4:12 am

and there are too many commercials

4:13 am

I have watched lots with my parents as nothing else on the box worth watching (parents words) lol

4:13 am

aw lol :)

4:13 am

We are lucky AD wise, Ruby..it is on the BBC channels so no adverts.

4:14 am

136 and must go and put on some blush I am so pale, I look like I've already died and just don't know it

4:15 am

Have a nice day, Ruby :-)

4:15 am

lol ruby! *hugs* and an arm rub so you warm up instantly and get some coolour back.

4:15 am

bye Ruby

4:15 am

even my mouth is pale, horrible!

4:15 am

*woof*

4:16 am

Sprite your country is doing pretty good in the olympic

4:16 am

yes, I heard we are. Not bad for a small country :)

4:17 am

So is yours, Pugs :-)

4:17 am

I know

4:17 am

Ours is crap as usual..lol

4:17 am

lol zooz

4:17 am

and back to say goodnight or maybe not. g'day zooz

4:18 am

hi rose! *hugs* How was dinner?

4:18 am

I dont know the current count of right now

4:18 am

Hello, ((Ro4))

4:19 am

Hope you are fairing well, Rose?

4:19 am

have taken my meds. and i have to be and MOVING in 9 1/2 hours. * snort * like that's gonna happen...

4:19 am

have fun playing in the pool

4:19 am

sprite, we had some rather yummy sausages, lamb, with honey and thyme.

4:20 am

Oh gosh that is making my mouth water..yum yum!

4:20 am

zooz, by all means i am doing better than the average bear...

4:20 am

god that sounds tasty!

4:21 am

fireflies

4:21 am

they were. it is one of the things i will NOT compromise on.

4:21 am

WTG SPRITE!!! you rock, hun

4:22 am

congrats Sprite!

4:22 am

Glad to hear it, Rose, i know it is very annoying when it takes so long to get back to so called normal..but it does take a long long time...just keep positive and listen to your body :-)

4:22 am

pretty fun grid today!

4:22 am

Congrats, Sprite!

4:22 am

to your body and to your buddies, please. BABYsteps! :)

4:22 am

thank you all!

4:23 am

lolol, yes dearest sprite

4:23 am

before you leave Sprite, I hope all goes well today for you and your family

4:23 am

what pugs said, sprite.

4:23 am

Just don't wear a nappy with a big safety pin..you might look a bit daft.

4:23 am

she dont know what baby steps are--lol

4:23 am

thank you, pug, I hope so too. Those guys, sigh... it is a biological trait, I think. The adult ma5 have to fight to see who is boss.

4:24 am

thanks rose :)

4:24 am

gee whiz, what am i gonna do with you all.

4:24 am

so it seams Sprite

4:24 am

I don't know about that, zooz... it might go nicely with her tutu

4:25 am

Teehee

4:25 am

you are gonna keep on loving us, rose, and listen to our advice, and know we have your back.

4:25 am

she could look like baby huey--lol

4:26 am

lol pugs :)

4:26 am

I liked that cartoon

4:26 am

my bags are packed...ready for hydro...after which i will shower, then don and i are having breakfast out, then onto counseling. this will all take place over a period 2 1/2 hours.

4:27 am

sounds like a rather nice outing

4:27 am

woot rose, that is quite the programme. Take it as easy as you can, ok? Nothing to prove. Babysteps.

4:27 am

oh yeah? with me doing all the hard work?

4:27 am

well, off with me. A big *hug* for each of you. And I bid you a blessed day and a peaceful night.

4:27 am

once counseling over, home and rest....

4:27 am

well should keep you out of trouble--lol

4:28 am

I always say if your body does not give out pain signals because it is happy..it is telling you to ease off. When you are hungry you do not take that as your body is telling you you are full..etc...listen to your body.

4:28 am

all the same to you Sprite--love and hugs

4:28 am

xoxox sprite. did you see the photos i sent you, hun? hope they made you giggle.

4:29 am

not yet, rose, will check soon!

4:29 am

Have a great day, Sprite, I am sure the spat among the boys will sort it self out today.

4:29 am

I really hope so, zooz! *hugs*

4:30 am

Rose..i was on jigidi yesterday and i saw your times on some of the 20 or so pieces puzzles and i was trying to beat your times...lol

4:30 am

zoom, did you go through that with your father

4:31 am

and i had better bow out while i can without falling over...lol. go for it, zooz. i'm not hard to beat....ask don...lol

4:31 am

More times than i would like to admit, Pugs, i knew i was wrong..but young and stubborn..got there in the end though.

4:31 am

Hae a wonderful sleep, Rose....really nice to see you :-)

4:31 am

night Rose, hugs and love and enjoy tomorrow and sleep

4:32 am

have*

4:32 am

thanx my darling pugs and zooz

4:33 am

Iam sure all will work out for Sprite's men but its hard on her having to be in the middle I would think

4:33 am

How far are you with this grid, Pugs?

4:34 am

Yes trying to keep the peace between two people is not easy i am sure...for one will think you are taking one or the others side..so no doubt one will be offended.

4:34 am

Iam at 77 but Ive not been down all the letter list yet

4:35 am

like always Ive been talking more then hunting--lol

4:35 am

I only have 53 words not looked at all the tile letters yet..but it does not bode foe a quick finish..lol

4:36 am

I have only just now gotten to the g's---so I got several to go

4:37 am

I am on the A on the left hand side.

4:37 am

Geez...right hand side...sorry.

4:38 am

Iam using lickety now

4:38 am

Grid is not so difficult ... just look in the right place for the words

4:38 am

Teehee..thanks for the tip, o-o :-)

4:38 am

no it sont seem too bad so far

4:39 am

I meant dont

4:40 am

brb--gotta have some more coffee

4:41 am

Now i want a cup of tea..lol

4:41 am

agar

4:41 am

agar

4:41 am

Damn..ok cup of tea time...sorry everyone.

4:43 am

Somtimes I wonder why I spend

4:44 am

It is a lot easier to finish the grid if you find all the words.

4:44 am

The lonely nights dreaming of a song

4:44 am

The melody haunts my reverie

4:44 am

And I am once again with you

4:47 am

back, Hi chj

4:48 am

Hi

4:49 am

I guess your word hunt is over OO so congrats

4:49 am

Hello, Chj, that sounds like a sad song.

4:50 am

stardust, by the Earl of Sandwich, Ho6 Carmichael

4:50 am

Phantom: Season.

4:52 am

Must admit..not heard of him/them.

4:53 am

we got rain and thunder right now

4:53 am

Actor singer songwriter

4:53 am

We have rai also but no thunder.

4:55 am

In two of my favorite movies of all time "the Best Years of Our Lives" and "To Have and Have Not"

4:55 am

Well that got me the Ho6..so thanks for that...now to find the tune on youtube..lol

4:56 am

Yoy kick yourself when you hear it. It's a standard

4:56 am

Stardust was composed in 1927

5:03 am

http://goo.gl/pJ3qfm

5:03 am

For anyone who wants to hear that tune.

5:04 am

Thanks for that, Chj, Nice tune.

5:09 am

Love it when people give tune recommendations..i could spend all day trying different types of music.

5:09 am

Except really heavy metal..not keen on that..lol

5:10 am

not a head banger are you Zoom-lol

5:11 am

No not me..lol

5:11 am

i like almost all types except what they call grunge or very heavy metal music..lol

5:12 am

need to let dog out brb

5:12 am

You would be surprised by the different genres of music i listen too.

5:13 am

Hope you do not get too wet, Pugs.

5:13 am

I like most of the music I like

5:14 am

Yay UK got a bronze medal in the curling...well done ladies!

5:15 am

is curling done in a hair salon?

5:15 am

Yes i could not go without music for too long..lol

5:15 am

hahaha..love it!

5:16 am

You are on fire today, o-o :-)

5:17 am

Although i wonder why they call it curling when the stones do not often curl into the target area.

5:18 am

I love music too--I work better with it loud and vibrating the house--lol

5:19 am

What type do you listen too, Pugs or what are you listening too these days?

5:21 am

I like all kinds just depends on whats seem right for the now---but as to working- I like lady gaga and the blackeye peas and maroon 5

5:22 am

pa pa parazzi..lalala

5:22 am

but I like country, old rock, church music and so on--Iam not to picky

5:22 am

that is stuck in my head now..lol

5:23 am

It is good to hear that..it amazes me how some people can only like one type of music and will not even try and listen to different styles..lol

5:24 am

I always wanted to meet Johnny Cash but never got to-I really like him

5:24 am

Iam not real hip on opera or like you the suicide hard rock stuff

5:24 am

Yes i have many vinyl and CDs of his..excellent music.

please may i have a clue for the 8

i've got the su8 need the other one

5:25 am

Hi Jenny--sorry I dont have em

5:26 am

Gems

5:26 am

i have a SU7 not a SU8?

5:27 am

Oh damn yes it is a plural..lol...thanks, Jenny!

5:28 am

Ch 8..think of hymn music.

5:28 am

thanks got the su's

5:29 am

it is ch**** music + two letter plural

5:30 am

HI aaronitor

thanks zoozzoom

5:31 am

You are most welcome, Jenny, Hope you are feeling better today :-)

5:33 am

very apt..the CH8..i have many CDs of that type of music too :-)

I am having a better day today, not so depressed about it all which helps

5:35 am

That is good to hear, Jenny, i know it seems a long way away but when the summer sun arrives i hope that will help you to feel good within yourself too.

5:37 am

I have several too Zoom--I like the older ch music as my sister likes the modern

when the drier weather comes I shall start to walk a little each day and that helps too, but not if it is cold and damp.

5:39 am

Yes i play them when i want to unwind for the day, Pugs, and Christmas time i play a lot then..lol

5:40 am

it got nice enough here for me to walk the last two days and it does make you feel better

5:40 am

Good idea, Jenny, Oxford has many places of beauty as you know..an ideal place to have short walks.

5:40 am

sc 7/40 clue please

5:40 am

to me that kind of music kind of talks to your soul

5:41 am

Gran think of Bah humbug..that should get you the SC7

5:44 am

ok maybe not...try bah humbug guy SC***ge+ two letter top corner of the grid.

5:45 am

Thanks and finished

5:45 am

hi gran and congrat

5:45 am

Congrats, Gran!

5:46 am

I agree, Pugs, it is so beautifully sung and played...helps with my depression so ell.

5:47 am

its really pouring here..Hope I dont get knocked

5:47 am

well*

5:47 am

off-

5:49 am

We have had some major down pours here recently but yet to disturb the internet connection.

5:49 am

sometimes it does here and sometimes it dont

5:50 am

Well i will keep my fingers crossed for you :-)

5:50 am

does this weather play on your depression Zoom

5:53 am

Yes it does, Pugs..not so much the light as in S.A.D..but just in general not being able to get outside and go for walks or getting into the garden to pot about in the soil..just doing the same routine of going to parent helping them coming home and staying in all day does my head in..lol

5:54 am

this has been a hard winter--I know just how all that is---the four same walls gets to you after awhile

5:55 am

Thunderstorms also give me big headaches..even just before a storm approaches is the worst.

5:55 am

can you not walk in the rain or are you afraid of melting?-lol

5:56 am

Yes it is nice to have fresh air..but when it is so cold outside and heat costs so much money..i hardly open a window in winter..and it is not good for you.

5:56 am

I dont mind storms like that but when it come to tornados Iam kind of afraid of them

5:58 am

good morning everyone:)) almost summer weather here at minus 2c:))

5:58 am

I do walk in the rain at times but there is no where to go here..if you go to the forest area you get sodden and so muddy..town here is crap..only a few shops..it takes a couple of mins to look around the same old stuff..lol...i do walk along the beach..but it is often blowing a ga4..lol

5:58 am

Hi Crossy!

5:58 am

Hello, Crossy :-)

5:58 am

Crossy is almost in the grid today.

5:59 am

:)

5:59 am

Well yes i would crap myself if there was a huge tornado here..lol

6:00 am

well Zoom, I live on a country road and a hilly one at that so I have the same problem, but I still go when I can. What about a set of headphones

6:00 am

I seen that Crossy

6:01 am

I think you are right though, Pugs, i could make more of an effort to get out and about though..i do tend to make excuses not to.

6:02 am

when I get too bored with that I try walking it backwards---thats a good leg work out

6:03 am

you need to look out for the small things Zoom--like birds or the way a limb is growing or even a new crack in the walkway--lol

6:03 am

hahaha no way..wonder what your neighbours think when they see you going past bakwards..lol

6:04 am

truthfully I dont really care

6:05 am

I used to, pugs, being into photography i would look at things in different ways to photograaph them..but for a couple of years now i seem to have lost interest in lots of things and have not been as confident as i used to be..lol

6:06 am

Good for you, Pugs, You are a strong person.

6:06 am

and you living alone Zoom, put on some music and dance and be silly---close your curtains if you are afraid of someone seeing you---laugh at yourself--you will feel better

6:07 am

well I hope you can find a way to reverse that Zoom

6:08 am

I think once i get back into work and feel part of the community again might make me feel better about myself..who knows.

6:08 am

I would say so but it will mostly be your mind set

6:09 am

Being on my own is not a problem for me..in fact i kind of like it..never thought i would but it seems to suit me..lol

6:09 am

yes, never, ever take life too seriously. in 100 years none of it will matter. you want people 100 years from now to look up your name and say "wow!!, was she wild and crazy!"

6:09 am

or he as the case may be

6:09 am

so true Crossy

6:10 am

Crossy i looked at your puzzles and man they look difficult to do..lol

6:10 am

Yes i agree, Crossy, i should not give a fig what others think of me..but for some stupid reason..i do..but do not know why..lol

6:11 am

most of them are talking on our trips into the mountain the hardest one( I think) is mountain spring in autumn

6:11 am

taken

6:11 am

well zoom, that leaf of yours wasent no cherry pie-lol

6:12 am

Zoom, you ever think they might think--man I wish I could be like that guy!

6:12 am

Oh did you do that one..lol..i have put more on but less pieces..i tend to like the few piece puzzles now..lol

6:12 am

never, ever give a hoot about what people think of you. do what gives you pleasue and if someone else does not like it? too friggin bad!

6:13 am

yes I did and Iam glad it wasent any bigger--lol--havent been there in a few days

6:13 am

thats how I feel too Crossy--I just be myself

6:13 am

if you like to paint pictures while sitting on your front lawn in you Victoria secret collection, do it!

6:13 am

Still waiting for you to put a puzzle on..can't wait to do it.

6:14 am

Yes i am going to be like that more now..stuuff what peope think of me.

6:14 am

oh yeah, I keep forgetting to do that

6:14 am

How did you know, crossy hahaha

6:14 am

lol

6:15 am

Has your classes finished now, Crossy?

6:15 am

lol Crossy--dont know that I would go that far

6:15 am

nope, am deep into more English lit

6:15 am

Oh wow the sun has come out.

6:16 am

there ya go, now go out there, and dance in the sunlight for a minute

6:16 am

How are you getting on in the learning..going well?

6:16 am

good Zoom--go get you some r4

6:17 am

it is going very, very well, zooz. tbh, I am surpised at how well it is going. after a 33 hiatus from my last schooling to this one

6:18 am

Am very pleased to hear that, Crossy, Good on you for improving yourself :-)

6:18 am

i highly recommend that everyone who feels they missed something the first go around to dive back into some classes

6:19 am

ok dokie will take a walk while the sun is shining here..back later..and thanks for chatting, Pugs & Crossy...hope you both have a wonderful day.

6:19 am

you as well zooz

6:19 am

you too Zoom and enjoy the walk

6:20 am

Iam taking a break from this too--enjoy the grid Crossy and take care--bye all

6:21 am

and there is a perk to going back. you often end up with a blended class of mature adults and 18- 20 year olds who are missing one credit for their diploma and there is nothing better than popping in a 95%-98% and breaking the grading curge and said to the kids " that is how the old farts do it, kiddo!"

6:21 am

grading curve

6:25 am

overheard one 19 year old say " I am glad I came back for my last credit, when I was younger I used to hate school".. when you were younger?? darlin, the t-shirt I am wearing is older than you are lol

6:31 am

{{crossy}} the good student

6:31 am

just back from lunch and B. left the car running the whole time. Lucky it didn't get stoen

6:32 am

6:36 am

((ruby))

6:36 am

I thought I lost you

6:36 am

so4

6:36 am

was making tea

6:37 am

why on earth did he leave the car running the entire time?

6:38 am

I jumped out to go to the shops befor he had parked, so I had no idea until after lunch

6:38 am

He is getting more and more forgetful

6:40 am

He probably shouldn't be driving, but I don't have the heart to take that away from him

6:41 am

very dangerous

6:42 am

surprisingly, his driving isn't bad as he goes at a very reasonable speed and never far. I'm just afraid he'll lose the car

6:42 am

or get lost

6:43 am

i should not feed you horror stories but in his 74 year, my F.I.L backed into someone on the sidewalk while backing out of his driveway. he did not use his back up mirrors

6:44 am

and B is 88!!!!

6:44 am

Do they make older people take tests there?

6:44 am

here, after age 80, i think it is, everyone gets retested every year

6:44 am

snap

6:44 am

not here, unfortunately

6:45 am

Ruby, I know it seems hard, but it's time for some tough love. I think it's becoming clear to you that your husband and driving is bound to lead to unfortunate consequences.

6:45 am

I need clues for the u and an 8. Do you have either, or even stats?

6:45 am

that is what i am thinking as well

6:45 am

ch 8/ 50 and su 8/60

6:45 am

I know, molly, but I feel so sorry for him and he has so little left to do

6:46 am

i hate to be blunt, but if he hurts someone ...

6:46 am

We had to take the car away from my Dad (who had Alzheimer's) and it was a very hard thing to do. But it was for his safety and for the safety of those he could possibly harm.

6:47 am

Fortunately we live in a very small town and he doesn't have to go far.

6:47 am

fortunately the man my fil ran over survived

6:47 am

I would happily do all the driving, but he won't let me

6:48 am

it is a hard thing

6:48 am

growing old isn't for sissies

6:48 am

nope. have to be tough as nails

6:51 am

150 words and going to lie down

6:52 am

have a good rest ((ruby))

6:56 am

It's a tough disease to deal with. My parents insisted they could continue living on their own (it was clear they could not, safely) and my Dad insisted he could continue driving (which he could not). Stepping in to manage people's lives when they are in their 80's is not an easy thing to do.

6:58 am

it is tough indeed

7:00 am

just being executor afterwards is hell. my M.I.L's was deemed a "simple" estate by the lawyer but it is now 2 years after the fact and we are just finishing up this year

7:01 am

and leave you cash to the animal shelter or the cancer society. sudden money tears families apart. you see the real people come out in a hurry

7:01 am

or organize all the cash yourself before you pass on

my mother (82) has put everything in a trust which i appreciate greatly because you are right crossy they come after every dime

7:26 am

you have a wise mother

7:27 am

ok, time for crossy to head off to the hallowed halls of learning. tc all and happy babbling!

7:31 am

Wow, Molly. The final sentence of your last post is SO relevant to me. I am currently going through that particular horror. It's dreadful- for all parties.

7:33 am

It is dreadful, and heartbreaking. I will be ever grateful that I had my sister to go through it with.

7:34 am

My parents put all their estate into a trust and I am the executor. They were afraid my estranged brother would come after it.

7:36 am

My Dad was discharged from a 4 month stay in hospital 10 days ago. He has mulyiple falls. He is doubly incontinent & my mother just can't manage him. Yet both of them are adamant they want to remain at home. It's horrific.

7:37 am

I use the money to pay for Mom's care in the Merory Unit of Assisted Living

7:38 am

It's hard for the elders to admit they can no longer care for themselves.

7:40 am

I watched my Dad spiral into the darkness of Alzheimer's and my Mom spiral into a pill problem because she couldn't deal with what was happening to my Dad. Horror is the appropriate word.

7:42 am

My Mom is very frail, but with live-in help to cook, clean etc, she can look after her own personal care. My Dad is in need of full time, 24 hour care. They, with financial support from us, could afford one or other. Not both. It's appalling that, in their 80's, after a life-time of paying taxex, they are now frantic about costs.

7:45 am

clues for any o words?

7:45 am

o4 - you clumsy o***

7:45 am

It's very sad that there are so few alternatives for the elders who have worked hard all their lives.

7:46 am

Pl of boorish people oa4/7, Mix

8:10 am

hi o-o, I believe the Hebrew word in your profile means "in the beginning".

8:15 am

Speaking of "in the beginning"...I love this quote...The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image, but there's not much proof of that. After all God made the sun and the moon and the stars, and all man makes is trouble. : D

8:15 am

I like that quote

8:17 am

I still hurt from that fall on Sunday. My back and my tailbone, ouch.

8:18 am

Im taking Aleve and Robaxin ( muscle relaxant)

8:21 am

I hope it gets better soon Annie. It's amazing how much our muscles do for us and how long it can take them to heal.

8:22 am

thanks, Molly. Everything is a chore now. I hate that. Laundry later.

8:22 am

Annie :(((

8:23 am

bichon, thanks

8:23 am

morning all!

8:23 am

hi sue

8:23 am

annie, sorry to hear of your fall and continuing aches and pains - may they heal quickly!

8:24 am

Hi Sue, how is life in snowville?

8:24 am

It is slicker than snot on a doorknob here

8:24 am

thanks, sue

8:25 am

right now it's freezing rainville but is supposed to get quite warm today - starting tomorrow we head back into the deep freeze. Should be interesting.

8:26 am

How many have experience snot on a doorknob?

8:26 am

nope. I would think it would dry out.

8:27 am

and fall off

8:28 am

My letter carrier won't deliver my mail. Have to meet him at the curb, which isn't much better

8:30 am

and if you do not meet him at the curb, what happens to the mail?

8:31 am

They hold on to it. I have a longer driveway than my neighbors. I would call the post office, but I don't want to get him in trouble

8:32 am

And you cannot have a mailbox at the curb?

8:33 am

No, it's a mail slot in the garage door. It's good. I don't have to go outside, and I don't have to worry if I go away for a few days

8:35 am

But you do have to go outside to the curb or the carrier goes right on by?

8:36 am

Only with the weather conditions being so bad. There are some other people whose house he doesn't go to. He's an older guy and I feel sorry for him.

8:48 am

How come sunray is not a word? It's in my Scrabble dictionary?

8:49 am

Many words recognized by most other dictionaries are not recognized by the Enable word list. Enable is horribly outdated.

8:50 am

And I always thought Scrabble was outdated!

8:56 am

help with the u's?

8:59 am

o-o, nice berehsheet piece. where is it from?

9:05 am

o-o, do you know where that peice that is your "photo" in the chat is from? it is lovely.

9:06 am

any clues for the 8s?

9:06 am

i haven't found them yet.

ch 8 is plural of musical group

9:10 am

thanks

9:10 am

ty luv. looking.

9:11 am

i dont see an i for the singing group. must be different word

9:11 am

cute puppy.

thanks hursh, she's a sweetheart

9:12 am

got one of them ty for clue. anyone have other 8 clue?

the ch 8 ends with crackles in the chest

9:12 am

ty luv. got it. do you have the other 8?

no but I saw that it's an su 8

seems like it would have to begin with the yellow ball in the sky

9:17 am

yes + top part(s) of a house

thanks montreal!

9:18 am

so

9:18 am

i'm kind of sad

9:18 am

yw, found it thx to your SU hint...

that's also well I found the un's from the su words-lol

why sad hursh?

9:19 am

one of my aunts died the night before last.

sorry to hear that

9:19 am

sorry about that hursh...

how old was she?

9:21 am

must go, 1st pass done, barely made 2 thirds at 156/77 - happy babblings all and take care "poof"

9:24 am

only 62

9:26 am

she fell and broke her hip on tuesday and had surgery, and then in the night, after the surgery, she died. they think maybe a blood clot.

that's too bad-so unexpected and that makes it harder to accept

with 79 left have to start my day-bbl

9:43 am

so sorry about your aunt, hursh -- hugs to you

9:48 am

i believe that the most common cause of death in elderly women is broken hip. the hip bone is so large that when it breaks the entire body goes.

9:48 am

sorry hursh. how old was she?

9:49 am

sorry hursh

9:49 am

got the other 8: su: opp of moon, then top of house and plural.

9:50 am

she was only 62.

9:52 am

whatever happened to english that changed F to V when plural? as in: wife became wives, r**f (top of house) became r**ves? in the 50s this is what we learned and in grid now it is wifes and r**fs. did the change to V go out? on an SAT exam what would it say is right?

9:52 am

wow 62 is VERY YOUNG. OUCH. I AM SO SO SO SORRY. anyone under 70 who dies has not lived a full life. I am so sorry hursh. you must be very young.

9:52 am

Did she leave young children?

9:53 am

thanks for the su words

9:54 am

i cant see those u words.

9:55 am

un plus ro 4/7

9:55 am

i assume they are "not something or other"

9:55 am

and then plural

9:55 am

no, not young children, grown children. 3 grandchildren, and 1 foster grand

9:56 am

well at lease she got to see a grandchild.

9:57 am

10:08 am

i am struggle a bit at the moment but i am focusing on one letter

10:10 am

based on how long it took me to get nbt and nbs, and how difficult it is to get the G's, I'd say it's medium hard.

10:12 am

the g's... and the m's are giving me trouble also

10:16 am

could i get help with the first gy5? not the spinning ones

10:16 am

adj form

Hopped up? I thought Xanex was supposed to chill you out : )

11:08 am

Ya, I did it again. Forgot to click in the word box before typing in a word. Can you tell I'm new at this? lol

11:08 am

does later..first gets me up,, then i crash..expected shortly .. will sleep for hours..

11:09 am

not at all lori..all do it at one time or another

11:09 am

I thought the whole purpose of Xanex for an MRI was to relax you so the MRI process wouldn't freak you out.

11:10 am

works wonders for that, but for some reason i have lots of energy now.. lol.. feel like cleaning the house..had reverse effect..damnation

11:11 am

They will have to knock me out if they ever want to get my claustrophobic self into one of those things.

11:12 am

wasnt too bad this time.. only bout 15 mins.. very loud though even with the headphones..

11:13 am

With all the technological advances we have made, you would think they would have perfected that whole procedure by now.

11:14 am

my thoughts exactly molly...guess we couldnt go to space then..in a capsule , cooped up lol

11:15 am

That is my idea of hell. Add instant coffee for hell plus.

11:16 am

ahhhh... instant coffee or or tang!

11:18 am

When I've had an MRI I wear eyeshades so I don't know where I am. Could be home in bed

12:20 pm

I ar 5/10 early this morning and started babbling. After finding the grid not so ea 4/6, I ch5/14 to give up after finding 199 words. Now here is a a story of clues. I wish I could ea 4/4 a living playing and reviewing ga 5/16. I am addicted to playing ga4/7s on the internet.So much so that I eat every me4/5 in front of the laptop.I like to play Bejeweled Blitz. It's where you try to match ge4/7. Another one that I like to play is "La4/4r Beam Escape". Another one I love to play is Candy Crush Sa4/6. One ga 4/7 I don't like is Farmville. Hubby LOVES Farmville. He plays the sa 4/5 ga5/16 over and over again. He is such a bo 4/6! I think Farmville is a la 4/5 ga 4/7. Of course my favorite one is Babble. I think if I did not babble, all the other mindless ga5/16 would era4/4 my brain cells. It is the only educational one I play where I le 5/10 new words every day.Husband ch6/24s to use computer now He sa 4/6 I better give it to him or else...... I'll ple5/10 him and give it to him so he does not get into a ra4/6. I am going to get off my ar 4/4 now and go on the so4/7 to watch the movie Gl 5/16ing the Cube. I will be back later on today to help clue some more.Goodbye for now

3:13 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

3:13 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

3:14 pm

Evening all. The weather has dealt us an earthquake today. Only 4.1 but an earthquake nevertheless. I think Devon has angered the gods somehow.

3:14 pm

I'm happy because it was warmer today

3:14 pm

where, Jaxx?

3:14 pm

On top of the earthquake, we had severe hailstorms.

3:14 pm

Hello jaxx7!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

3:15 pm

Hi MIn and jaxx.hope you are ok.We've had sun today

3:15 pm

it is warmer here, we are to get rain overnight with possible flooding but 60's tomorrow!

3:15 pm

In the Bristol Channel just off South Devon. It was felt from North Devon to South Devon.

3:15 pm

Which has made a change from the gales and rain

3:16 pm

You had an earthquake in Britain

3:16 pm

Jaxx, not familiar with where you are from, what country is that?

3:16 pm

I had sun earlier today.Now it is cloudy and looks like snow

3:16 pm

We've had them before Bichon

3:17 pm

I guess you could say that about an earthquake. perhaps we will now have a heatwave to complete it all.

3:17 pm

Phan, Jaxx, lives in England

3:18 pm

I did not realize that you've had an earthquake.

3:18 pm

Min, we had sun earlier as well, but the sky has given way to clouds like you. But it is too warm for snow, PTL! Thanks, Lilli.

3:18 pm

PTL?

3:18 pm

oh, Praise the Lord.

3:18 pm

England, on the peninsula in the South West. Small seaside town with about 14,000 residents. Devon has about 2 million residents in all.

3:18 pm

it was warmer here too and sunny. cloudy and gray now. supposed to rain tomorrow

3:19 pm

Aye, we could do with some dry warm weather.we'll probably have a heat wave next month...we have had them before in March :)

3:19 pm

yagi

3:19 pm

I was forgetting that today is not Friday, we will have rain tomorrow and sun and 60 on Saturday.

3:20 pm

You are just across the border then Lilliann?

3:21 pm

By the way Jaxx, my post at 3.15 was nothing to do with your earthquake post, it was about my earlier post about the rain and gales.North East

3:22 pm

The nasty weather is certainly being shared about.

3:22 pm

Apparently we had the warmest day today...makes a change! :)

3:23 pm

I wonder how long we have before the whole country sinks?

3:24 pm

Aye, our little Island is definitely taking a battering at the moment.plus a few sink holes are now happening.there was the one a couple of weeks ago on the M2 and then there was one a couple of days ago under someone's house in Yorkshire

3:24 pm

Eventually, this whole planet will be just water, but not in our lifetime;a ways away I would not worry about it jaxx7.

3:25 pm

There have been six so far. The latest is still growing and at least three homes have been evacuated.

3:25 pm

No Min, but i wouldn't wish it on any of my ancestors

3:26 pm

6 now, i've missed a few of them but i don't always watch the news...too depressing!!

3:26 pm

After this winter, I don't think it will be too far away. maybe we should sey up a company building arks.

3:27 pm

Fracking is causing earthquakes in parts of the US

3:27 pm

Fracking?

3:27 pm

set, even. haven't got my specs on.

3:28 pm

bbl

3:28 pm

Fracking rocks by pressurized liquids

3:28 pm

They want to start fracking here. The Prime Minister is all for it but then he has removed planning controls on national parks and green zones so what does he know?

3:29 pm

Not a bad idea jax.i can't think of the film i watched the other week where they had built these big arks but had all the royalty,governments and wealthy people on board with loads of animals who where air lifted by helicopters...

3:30 pm

It's easy money for this economy. But, it scares me

3:31 pm

The very rich can look after themselves. These arks will be for the ordinary citizens whose opinion are of no interest until there is an election.

3:32 pm

I agree jaxx

3:34 pm

Run for your life! The sky is falling!

3:34 pm

You sound like that little red hen

3:35 pm

Chicken Little : D

3:35 pm

We were brought up on the same stories then. No lego stories for us.

3:36 pm

The little red hen did all the work to bake the bread while all the lazy farm animals sat around on their butts

3:36 pm

You mean just like HMG?

3:41 pm

Is HMG Her Majesty's Government? We have our own troubles here with the buffoon running our government.

3:42 pm

They like sitting on their bums.

3:43 pm

Do you mean that lovely friend of 'call me Dave'; Obama?

3:43 pm

I read this week that Queen E is running through her money and needs more from the public for repairs to Buckingham

3:43 pm

just reading back in the chog , and poking my nose in, but they have been fracking here in North Nottinghamshire for years, with no ill effects. (fingers crossed! :-()

3:44 pm

I don't think you can mess with the earth in this way without consequences

3:44 pm

I had people come to house to sign anti-fracking petitions.

3:44 pm

I love the word fracking. It sounds so naughty. : D

3:45 pm

hi all!

3:45 pm

what do you think of fracking sue? Is it dangerous for the earth?

3:45 pm

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

3:46 pm

The Queen gave up the Crown Estate in exchange for an annual sum to keep her official duties going. At one time she didn't pay Income Tax but she does now. It is a complicated system that the fiscal crisis has damaged. I think she is worth every penny. I also think she should take the Crown Estate back and watch HMG scream blue murder.

3:46 pm

hi bichon, I haven't looked into it in detail so can't say for sure. It is very resource-intensive (you have to put a lot of energy in to get that oil out, and then it needs refining). It also uses a lot of water and sand.

3:47 pm

Hi Sue :)

3:47 pm

The Crown Estate being?

3:48 pm

All the income from her estates.

3:49 pm

Also it is clear to me that our supplies of fossil fuels are running out. I have looked at this, using industry figures, and all three major fossil fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - will run out in the next 30-50 years, assuming we continue to use them at present rates. I think fracking is a sign of desperation - eventually we will have to figure out some other way to get energy.

3:49 pm

Are these the tenant farmers?

3:50 pm

Sue, that is not a new concept, and yet very little has been done about alternatives.

3:50 pm

I fear for the lives my grandchildren will live

3:51 pm

There are all sorts of sources of income. She has her own farms etc and lots of property and estates handed down from previous monarchs.

3:51 pm

I know, Molly; part of the problem is that our current economic system rewards short-term returns far more than long-term investments.

3:52 pm

there are many years of coal left in this country but our dear government has closed down most of our pits.

3:52 pm

I fear for my daughter as much as my two grandchildren and she is 35.

3:52 pm

Coal is one of the reasons for global warming

3:53 pm

true, mo, but even in the case of coal (using the best numbers I could find for world reserves) "many" years is decades, not centuries.

3:54 pm

sorry bichon, but I do not think there is such a thing as global warming. but that is my opinion and many more in this country.

3:54 pm

Now they are closing all the coal fired power stations which is leaving us with the possibility of power cuts. meanwhile China builds 2 coal fired power stations every week. It is all crazy

3:55 pm

Look at the air quality in China. Asthma, lung cancer

3:55 pm

mo, this is another thing I have studied in detail (I used to teach about it). The physics causing global warming is actually rather simple, and was predicted as early as the late 1800s.

3:55 pm

I agree with you jaxx.

3:56 pm

One of the biggest problems I see is how automobile dependent people have become.

3:56 pm

Yes, at the University in our town, kids come to school with SUVs. Why. If they need to bring their stuff from home they can rent a UHaul

3:56 pm

The Chinese are also doing a lot of research and investing in renewable energy sources.

3:57 pm

hi everyone!

3:57 pm

hi jen!

3:57 pm

Let's hope the Chinese do something.

3:57 pm

I've never understood why single people drive SUVs.

3:57 pm

Hi Jen

3:57 pm

hi sue!

3:57 pm

hi Jen.

3:57 pm

and bichon

3:57 pm

Because they are there Molly

3:57 pm

There have been periods of warming and cooling ever since the earth first formed. I am sure that this is the start of the next phase. Many scientists have been predicting an Ice Age.

3:59 pm

My mother said we should let China sleep. They are out for world domination. Another reason that I fear for my descendants.

4:00 pm

jaxx, there was an article in the popular press about 40 years ago talking about the possibility of another ice age, but aside from nuclear winter, few if any scientists were predicting such a thing. And if you look at historical (and geological) data you can see how anomalous the present warming really is. (I don't have a real ax to grind here, except that I am a scientist, and try to understand the world and what is really going on)

4:00 pm

Well Jaxx, they have been saying that about the Chinese for a long time, and so far, they haven't taken over the world.

4:02 pm

They are dominating world trade. How many home made items are on shop shelves? Once they have removed competition they will charge what they like.

4:03 pm

Hello JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

4:03 pm

They are stockpiling the world's resources as well. They are being very friendly and co-operative and our governments are being taken in.

4:03 pm

hi min, doing fine

4:04 pm

I am off to make myself and my husband a drink. Hope to be back later.

4:04 pm

the Chinese have undercut the world market for the so-called rare earth minerals (which are not actually all that rare) so the domestic production is almost nil here; we use these minerals in a lot of our electronics

4:04 pm

see you later, jaxx!

4:05 pm

After I took a course in college called "How To Lie With Statistics" I'm very skeptical about what I read.

4:06 pm

it is very good to be skeptical, Molly! I try to learn as much as I can about issues that are important to me, from as many different sources as possible

4:08 pm

I think if more people were like you, Sue, our society would be better informed and make better choices. The general public is (sadly) easy to fool.

4:09 pm

well, thank you, Molly! I try to be as well informed as possible (especially about areas where I have some expertise!)

4:10 pm

however I am feeling in the need of a cup of tea at the moment. Back soon.

4:11 pm

Goodbye jaxx7! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe

4:15 pm

hey min, can you help for a sec?

4:16 pm

or anyone that can help with lickety's list?

4:16 pm

I can try JenMO16. I only have 200 words. What do U need?

4:17 pm

how do I move the words from lickety's list to here or vice versa?

4:18 pm

are you using Licketys List or BabbleExpert?

4:18 pm

lickety's list

4:19 pm

Copy your word list and use the BULK ADD feature on Lickety's list page to add the words there.

4:19 pm

ok, I will try

4:20 pm

I have never moved them from Lickety's list to here. I've only done it the other way. Copy all the words from this Babble page. Open Lickety in a new window & click on Bulk/Add Grab. Paste the words into first white box and click on add bulk. They should fall into the right places.

4:21 pm

And be sure you use the ADD BULK button. Hitting return will just take you to the top of the page.

4:23 pm

shouldn't right clicking be copying my words?

4:24 pm

when I right click on the list, nothing happens

4:24 pm

You need the drag the mouse and hightlight all the words.

4:25 pm

Then right click or goto edit at top & select copy JenMO16.

4:25 pm

i did that, min, but when i right click to move the list, nothing happens

4:26 pm

I need to go get my dog from groomer.Good luck JenMO16

4:26 pm

Jen are you on a MAC or a PC?

4:26 pm

thanks

4:26 pm

If you're still have problems when I get back I'll try to help.

4:27 pm

If you're on a Mac, command C will also copy words JenMO

4:27 pm

*POOF*

4:27 pm

i am on a pc

4:28 pm

On a PC you highlight the word list, then right click and it should give you a drop down box that includes COPY. Click on COPY and then go to Lickety's page and follow the BULK/ADD instructions.

4:29 pm

You have to right click in the white box and hit PASTE to add the word list there.

4:30 pm

ok, i m on a laptop, i just tried to move the list, but it landed on one of the boxes and all the words were in that one box!

4:31 pm

That's right, then you click on the ADD BULK button. That puts them in the list above.

4:32 pm

got it, thank you! now when I add a new word, I have to put it in both of them?

4:32 pm

or just keep updating the bulk add?

4:34 pm

I would just update your bulk add every ten words or so. However it works best for you.

4:34 pm

okay thanks!

4:35 pm

Glad you got it figured out.

4:36 pm

now let's see if I can remember!

4:36 pm

You can do it by letter as well...if you are working on, say, the Cs, just copy that part of your Word List over to the Bulk Add

4:38 pm

You can also just use the check box on lickety when you get a word and you know where it goes

4:39 pm

that is what i had been doing tor, but then i got tired of using my finger on one screen to go to the other!

4:39 pm

hi Tor

4:39 pm

hi lynx, tor

4:40 pm

Then when you enter a word at the top, it will update your total

4:40 pm

Heyas kids ..

4:41 pm

hi Bichon

4:43 pm

sc 7, pls

4:45 pm

uses double vowl - a combination of crouch and scramble I guess

4:46 pm

Like sc6 over with an extra letter

4:46 pm

ty lyn, odd word

4:47 pm

ty lyn

4:49 pm

FW hagn all

4:50 pm

congrats Bichon - bye

4:50 pm

Hey Peri, are you still watching Downton Abbey? If so, what have you thought of this season?

4:51 pm

yes, and I like it so far. are you watching it

4:51 pm

Yes, but I have found it very boring this season.

4:52 pm

yes, a bit boring for some reason

4:56 pm

19 left and I am tired, tired in general. lots of running around today, but no shoveling. there is still some ice in back that is melting and could be pushed to the side but no one else seems bothered by it. so I will not either

4:57 pm

there is a mound of snow next to where I park my car which makes it hard to get in and out but it has turned to ice and I cannot move it as yet

4:58 pm

not caring much for the winter olympics altho I do like to watch luge and bobsled but I seem to keep missing them

4:58 pm

much prefer summer olympics

4:59 pm

Well, pardon me, Peri! But that recent photo you posted on FB shows a lady who is rarin' to go! Not tired, not exhausted, but aluve, smiling & very beautiful.

5:00 pm

Erm... AlIVe...

5:00 pm

Oh, thanks so much, Soodle.

5:01 pm

you didn't notice the wrinkles?

5:02 pm

I'm not in the flattery business. I saw a picture of a really atteactive lady. Sheesh.

5:02 pm

other people have said the same thing so it must be true but that is not what I see

5:04 pm

Peri. You are quite lovely. Get over it. Live with it.

5:04 pm

ok

5:05 pm

(((((peri)))))

5:10 pm

2nd sa5/10 pls

5:10 pm

Ooooh. I would SO love to meet up with a big Babble crowd. I'd love to let you all know how much you have cheered me during dark days.

5:12 pm

nm

5:20 pm

ag6/27?

5:21 pm

Howdy Doody...

5:21 pm

It's getting awful schmoopy in here : P

5:21 pm

nm!

5:25 pm

Sunray so should be a word!@

5:28 pm

Well you know...Enable...incomplete word list

5:29 pm

I figured it was just 2 words rather than one, and acting petulant about it.

5:30 pm

Other dictionaries like it.

5:30 pm

oh, well, then I stand by my original comment!

5:31 pm

AngelSong's BABBLE Resources and Guide: "Some words that "are" real words will not be included in the Enable Dictionary, and other (sometimes "adult" or very strange) words you've never heard of will be there. It's all a part of the fun of Babble, so don't get stressed by it. Relax and just go with the flow and have fun."

5:32 pm

Oh, I wasn't getting stressed about it. Just pretending to be 3 years old.

5:33 pm

I didn't think you were stressed Phan.

5:33 pm

glad you get me, Molly. :^D

5:36 pm

And it's okay to grumble about the Enable word list. It's terribly outdated.

5:37 pm

Let me see, petulant: adj crabby, moody crankystarfractiousstarimpatient\nstarirritablestarperversestarsullensta\nrtestystarwhinystarbad-temperedstarcap\ntiousstarcavilingstarcomplainingstarcr\nossstarcrybabystardispleasedstarfault-\nfindingstarfretfulstargrouchystargrumb\nlingstarhuffystarill-humoredstarmeanst\narpeevishstarpoutingstarquerulousstars\nnappishstarsourstarsulkystartouchystar\nungraciousstaruptightstarwaspishstarwh\ninin ... bit not stressed.

5:37 pm

wow, that's quite teh definition, o-o. Honestly, I was being silly.

5:42 pm

Not a problem Phan. We got a pot/kettle thing going on here.

5:43 pm

no, we have molly being molly

5:43 pm

oh well.

5:44 pm

Yeah, yeah. I'm not the one calling Phan names but whatever floats your boat.

5:44 pm

did not call anyone names

5:45 pm

defined a word and synonyms

5:45 pm

tell the truth for oncde

5:45 pm

really this all seems so trivial...

5:45 pm

Yep, it is.

5:45 pm

it is which is what AngelSong was pointing out

5:45 pm

It was really nice to take a walk today in the warmish sunshine.

5:46 pm

we

5:46 pm

really

5:46 pm

need

5:46 pm

to

5:46 pm

I agree Phan. Seeing the snow melt warms my heart.

Have you experienced an haboob, Good Enough?

5:59 pm

I am back. JenMO16, did you figure out how to do Lickety?

6:00 pm

Yay!It wasn't me this time who messed up the chat log b-4!

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

Good for you? You have NEVER used Lickety's list until now?

6:01 pm

6:01 pm

i think they were trying to complete sentences in here min....

nope but I get a kick out of it whenever i hear about one. guess i'm childish that way.

6:01 pm

I have always used Lickety's, just put the checkmarks in myself

6:02 pm

got very tiring!

6:02 pm

Apparently, haboobs occur occasionally in Arizona

6:08 pm

Good morning all :)

6:09 pm

Hi Jen

6:09 pm

Clues for ch 7/44 pls?

6:11 pm

it is a plural of another word not in the puzzle

6:11 pm

confusing!

6:12 pm

add a citrus that you peel with different last vowel: ***n**

6:13 pm

Not working for me, though I understand the clue.

6:14 pm

I got married at the somerset doubletree

7:53 pm

is there a decent restaurant at the doubletree welki? (and i want cookies!) hah. jacuzzi…. cabana boys?

7:53 pm

Hello Kaplan the Magne!How are you? Welcome to the grid

7:53 pm

no kidding, harry! you and i are so connected :)

7:53 pm

and you didn't invite us, harry?

7:53 pm

so you had a lovely evening, TO?

wellok, welk.i've been thrown out of better places than that ;0

7:54 pm

yep, there is - i think it's more pub fare, though - lemme look at the website

7:54 pm

sorry dorens, invitation must have been lost in the mail

phan, it was soo nice to dress up and go to a nice event and a beautiful reception and he bid on and won tickets for the bolshoi

7:54 pm

if we end up on a school night, would be easier for me than new brunswick

7:55 pm

ok harry, you are forgiven

7:55 pm

we had a theme wedding - the theme was obscene extravagance

hahahahaha

I'm watching my kittens participate in the couples ice dancing- it adds an insanely funny dimension

7:55 pm

TK's Lounge and something called the Tuscany Restaurant

7:55 pm

I love dressing up for nice events too. so glad you had a good evening.

they are trying to jump on to the screen and catch those dancers

7:55 pm

well, we can always google around and find a restaurant near there if you want to leave the hotel… the food isn't the important aspect here.. it is the getting together part

7:56 pm

heck, we can have drinks and burgers and then all hang out in the jacuzzi!

7:56 pm

sounds good to me welk

and we met their newest corps member abd his wife, he is straught from italy and we chatted italy and where I must go there

getting together? who? where?

7:56 pm

oh, don't mention kittens… Have to drop off my diabetic cat at the vet tomorrow and board him for the weekend

7:56 pm

next month, kap - new jersey

7:56 pm

nj kap, want to come down

lolkap, but i thought ice dancing was over?

7:57 pm

harry, did you live in jersey back then?

7:57 pm

owl, i actually met baryshnikov (my father was his lawyer when he first came to the states)

awww. Mine are trying to catch the Canadians.

hey, we will have a real baabble jacuzzi! now all we ned are those cabana boys...

doren, do you like ballet? this was not classical, it was modern

7:57 pm

careful what you wish for, owl ;)

7:58 pm

I'm not a huge fan, but anyone like baryshnikov iso worth watch no matter what he does (and he does great modern, have you ever seen? you tube him)

;) well you will not be around for a dance, and i got him to primise he would teach you if you were. your own personal dance instructor.

where in Jersey?

i probabaly saw him dance ages ago. ballet was never my thing

7:59 pm

hoping for another visit in the fall, owl - maybe then? figures i'd pick a week when there are no dances

I was just in NYC

7:59 pm

when i was a kid and had nightmares, i would imagine him and margot fontaine dancing swan lake to get back to sleep

8:00 pm

kap, when you come to nyc next we can schedule a little meet up… if you want

ye they are mardi gras on the 8 and next dance on the 22nd

The weekends get so intense when we're down there but I would like to at some point

8:01 pm

well then someday we will

8:01 pm

welki who? nureyev?

8:02 pm

nice bunch of folks, kap - worth planning a side trip for the meet-up

8:02 pm

could I get a hint for the last bo5/6?

8:02 pm

yes, dorens

8:02 pm

Irish for male child, Harry

8:02 pm

8:04 pm

8:04 pm

8:04 pm

talk about oooh la la! the russian tea room!

8:04 pm

8:05 pm

8:05 pm

8:30 pm

evening all - looking for a little help. I am stuck on CH 7/44 - i just don't see it. Help? Please.

8:32 pm

whew -- tornado sirens still going but thunder and lightning pretty much over -- dogs starting to calm down!

8:32 pm

very lucky in my part of Nashville -- surrounding counties have lots of power outages and trees down

8:32 pm

i'm back. computer issues. sorry

8:32 pm

hey dorens

8:33 pm

glad you are safe Une. I am so afraid of tornados

8:33 pm

hey une, glad you're all ok

8:34 pm

tx . . . my poor little minpin was shaking all over and running in circles but is ok now . . .

8:34 pm

Jindigo, the word is weird. Help around home that kids do are ch**res + how old you are but change the last vowel to another vowel

8:34 pm

so long as you didn't end up doing dorothy and toto

8:34 pm

indeed LOL!

8:34 pm

minpins aren't much help in storms

8:35 pm

ru!

8:35 pm

I think that is why I so afraid Dorens. I still have nightmares about the old witch riding by the window on her bicycle!

8:35 pm

hi Doren.

8:35 pm

ru, i adopted him in the early fall and we haven't had this kind of thunderboomers since I've had him -- didn't know how he'd react

8:35 pm

I have to email you some good news

8:36 pm

so david ended up getting an apartment in sacramento. moving march 15 and very excited. i'm going to stay there friday through monday morning, then drive to berkeley and stay there for two nites. ok. so email away

8:36 pm

cool, dorens! :-)

8:37 pm

8:39 pm

so what nights are you free now that week

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

8:41 pm

I'll have a spiffy new car by then doren :D

8:42 pm

8:42 pm

8:43 pm

oh cool ru. I will have to arrange a car rental... from sfo to sacramento and back. was thinking of staying in berkeley and then to napa for a day or two. coming home on thursday so i don't have mucho time. some old high school friends.. one in oakland, one in napa, and another old friend in berkeley.

8:43 pm

anyone have the bo 5/16

8:43 pm

8:44 pm

i've 32 left but still have some interest, ph

8:44 pm

I'm buying an audi R*

8:44 pm

R8

8:44 pm

ohhh! the r8!!!! wonderful!! best of luck with it - such a beautiful vehicle!!

8:44 pm

what is the R8? i have the a4 -- i'm sure the 8 outspiffs me

8:45 pm

but i do love the audi's

8:45 pm

dorens, it's one of the hottest cars - just gorgeous

8:45 pm

bo + not the moon

8:45 pm

well of course... since ru is such a hotty himself!

8:45 pm

how about the su words? too lazy to do morewords

8:46 pm

525 hp!

8:46 pm

website says "sleek, stylish, and fast" :-)

8:46 pm

---none of those une

8:46 pm

ok ru, i will happily leave my poor little rental car and let you squire me around!!!

8:46 pm

oh it's fast - and sleek - a turn your head to watch it go sort of gar

8:46 pm

I hate these b's ugh

8:46 pm

it is fast

8:46 pm

very fast

8:47 pm

blue?

8:47 pm

I don't drive too fast though

8:47 pm

mine is ridiculously fast for a little a4... I don't often floor it, but if and when i do.... vroom vroom vroom

8:47 pm

dorens, this is F.A.S.T.

8:48 pm

this is over 500 horsepower doren

8:48 pm

I like my little Miata, it is enough zoom, zoom for me!

8:48 pm

ok so y'all are ignoring my request for the su words??

8:48 pm

sorry, was living vicariously through ru's purchase

8:48 pm

a common car accessory

8:48 pm

su* up in the sky + top of your house

8:48 pm

ok ru you can't squire me around... I will have to test drive it meself!!

8:48 pm

I am stuck in the b's.. I am no help right now

8:48 pm

su - open the top and let the air in - in your R8!

8:48 pm

you can drive it doren.. :D

8:49 pm

ah, thanks une... figured it started with than but kep trying to find s**screen

8:49 pm

yw :-)

8:49 pm

not fair. i love it more than dorens. i want to drive it! (stick or auto?)

8:50 pm

not sure yet welki

8:50 pm

probably auto

8:50 pm

we sold our property today ..

8:50 pm

ty ru. i knew you'd let me... welki, just because you loved it first doesn't mean you love it more.... and if you come down to visit him i'm sure he'd let you too. he is a sweetie

8:50 pm

stick would be more fun, but auto might be easier

8:51 pm

oh wow! that is great ru... decent price?

8:51 pm

congrats, ru!

8:51 pm

congrats, ru

8:51 pm

pretty good. .. it's a cash offer and a 20 day escrow

8:52 pm

and yes welki .. that is always the case... stick is much more fun but if you're stuck in stop and go traffic... yuch ru my audi has this sort of fake shifting thing.. it's automatic but i can sort of override it and kind of shift.. fun, but not really the real thing

8:52 pm

cash is always good

8:53 pm

ch 7/44 help please

8:54 pm

Stick is the way to go in my opinion.

8:54 pm

sorry ri, don't have that

8:55 pm

i always liked it ph, until i was stuck in an hour or more of stop and go and got back sciatica from it. always afraid of that happening again, it was a nightmare

8:55 pm

i have paddle shifters, too - not quite the same, but still fun

8:55 pm

add a vowel to the 6/before it

8:55 pm

then plural it for the 8

8:56 pm

the car i drive now is the first auto i've had for some time - i drive rush hour traffic and it's much easier (and there's always the paddle shifters if i'm on the highway and get a wild hair)

8:56 pm

i have that as a ch7/36?

8:56 pm

that's not right phan

8:56 pm

7/44 not 7/36

8:56 pm

oh, sorry you need the u/44

8:57 pm

umm, starts with the same first 4 ltrs + how old are you? but a different last vowel. (hope that makes sense)

8:58 pm

got it thanks ph

8:58 pm

great. good job

8:59 pm

don't have it

8:59 pm

ch4 like a train?

9:00 pm

no. it is wise to give children jobs to do minus the last letter

9:00 pm

david has a welsh c**** stick those letters in there with an additional vowel... play around. we've had it before

9:00 pm

thanks

9:00 pm

got it

9:00 pm

yippee!

9:01 pm

9:02 pm
