Am I the only one here?
Hello?

Hey there, ARB.
Where are you in the States? It's the middle of the night there!
I'm in Georgia, ARB. It's almost 4:00AM here.
I have insomnia......sleep isn't an easy thing.
Should have known. Georgia Peach!
More like a Georgia prune now though. LOL
The wrinkles do tell the story.
It's 10:45 a.m. here and I just spent 3 hours in the kitchen getting dinner ready for my kids and grandkids.
You've been busy then.
yes. Grndkids expect Gramma's chocolate cake which is the old recipe from the back of the Hershey's cocoa box!
Hi and shalom
Hi there, Liz. How are you?
Here we are thousands of miles apart and conversing!
Well, thanks. Looking forward to our Friday night dinner!
Hope you are both well.
It's a lovely family time - Shabbat dinner.
Totally agree though it's just my hubby and me.
Doing ok here, Liz.
Often it is the only time we get to see our kids and grandkids in the week -- everyone is busy with school, jobs, etc.
It's a special time. For years I'd go to my dad on Friday night.
OK almost dinner time. Have a good day Peach and Shabbat shalom ARB.
Shabbat Shalom Liz
Thanks, Liz. Have a wonderful dinner.
I need to do a few things....have a great day/night all.
cooee and g'day from me. is there anyone left in chog?
Shalom Granny
ah, arb, shabbat shalom, dear
SHabbat Shalom to you.
thank-you. how are things over there for you? our babblers in your ar4 of the world are often in my prayers.
Life is as usual -- lots of headlines, but everyday life is the same. I am less than happy (an understatement if there ever was one) with my government and the way it puts barriers on the way to some kind of peace settlement.
*sigh* arb...put women in the government, throw out the men...
Everyone in the world, please!
absolutely, arb. i am so tired of our menfolk posturing and mouthing nothings.
is what is happening in the crimea impacting on you?
Not directly. I assume it will mean an increase in emigration from that area -- the anti-semitism is rising.
ugh, arb...has the world learned nothing since wwii?
No.
awww, hun. i am so sorry. i apologise for the human race. i know it is a drop in the bucket...
It's a philosophical conflict for me. I'm for doing whatever it takes to reach a peace settlement, but I have a deep distrust of both the Moslem nations as well as the righteous Europeans.
Expediency, oil, and greed rule.
egad, please protect me from a righteous man...
amen
in ozland, we have a problem with the money-grubbing companys. we have several large corporations move their businesses to off-shore, to save money on wages. it is so sad. many families have now been put below the standard of living.
ANd then those rich businessmen have the nerve to say that poverty is self-inflicted and the poor don't want to work etc
*rolls eyes* exactly...i am so afraid for all these families whom have lost their income.
{{rosie}} I've just sent you a long, explicatory (is that a word?) e-mail
{{hugs}} ruby. i promised myself to stay here until you surfaced ...and here you are, darling girl.
yesterday was a low point but the sun is shining, so maybe today will be better
amd the letter explains a lot
hello ARB
awww, dearest. xoxox just for you...
shalom, ARB. I am sure we're the only Jews in our village....
and Fr anti-Semitism runs very deep
we've not experienced any, but I'm sure it's underlying
oh, dear...was sharing with don...i hope that is okay, ruby...he says you need to develop alzheimers, rapidly.
hahah
for goodness sake!!! this anti-semitism belongs to the 1st century. todays jewish people are not responsible for what their ancestors did. just as i(as a 4th generation australian) am not responsible for the slaughter and maltreatment of our indigenous people by the first fleeters.
a Fr fighter jet just flew past, lo*** than my house, very scary
have to go. xx everybody
85 quickies, but no big ones
*wo**
xoxox, ruby, hun. will answer soonest, hun

good morning everyone
hello Crossy!
howdy kayteejay:))
85 quickes for you this morning, ruby???!!! Wow. Guess it is true about those French girls!!! :)
Why do people insist on phoning whenever I decide to play instead of working? LMAO
poor kaytee:(
that was one long phone call. my wife used to have endless calls like that with her mum
I can't believe it took me so long to find my boss's occupation on the grid today!
No, it was a few calls but each one required me to run around and get info for them, grrr
y'see, I'm all alone in the office these days - boss is in hospital and his secretary is away on leave. So I've been brin:)
well, now you can unplug the phone and babble;)
oops - been bringing my doggie in to work to keep me company
puppies and kitties are welcome in babble
I call her puppy but she's actually about 9 yrs old
{{crossy}} hahah
a quickie? As the bishop said to the chorus girl
Yay! It's Naughty Nel : D
Hello Molly
((ruby))
{{crossy}}
half, yay
is wo6 another word for dog?
part of a speaker - music
however the other wo6 may be another word for a sheep
{{lynx}} I actually used to have one in the days of "component systems"
my son used to call dogs woofers and pussums as a young child
and a cow was a moous
I love that!
hi Ruby. I was just remembering the other day the 2 ridiculously huge 6 foot high speakers my husband had
a moose without antlers
hi Cross
but I think the sound was better than today's CD's
I think its all making a resurgence
do you know the book about the cow, Jessica, and the moose who loved her? I think it took place in VT.
do you know the book about the cow, Jessica, and the moose who loved her? I think it took place in VT.
Woud you call the offspring a coose or a mow?
as a single fella I had my quadrophic system so I could listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall record correctly. it had a 8-track, dual cassette and I had a pair of 4 foot high Traynor concert speakers. lol. The dishes used to rattle in the sink when those thing were turned up
I find CD's very flat and I'm no musician!
a old system like mine seemed to impart more.. warmth to the music
The other night I heard Joe Cocker's "feelin' All Right" as part of a movie track and found mysef unable to stop dancing!
The dogs thought I was crazy, but husband didn't notice lol
wife and I played his tune Leave your hat on and we danced as well:))))
Happily our dogs can't tell tales
I tried to get one of them to dance, but she was uninterested
<-- misses dancing
i love Joe Cocker. he does not worry about flash and glitz when doing videos. he looks like everyones drunk uncle at the tail end of a wild party
It's a shame Ruby. Those cute little butterfly shoes should be out on the dance floor : D
{{Molly}}
but shoes aren't so little
>--big feet
did you know that if you buy really expensive shoes, your size goes downaccordingly, e.g. from a 7 to a 6 1/2 or 6!
smart marketing for women who want to say they have small feet
goodnight all
{{lynx}}
see y ou later,kids, 2 days' paper and a roaring fire

that is NBT for Crossy:)
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!. Like planes? like to track them? do you desire to see all the flight plans over your particular bit of airspace? Todays tidbit gives you just that. You will see your airspace, all the planes in it, and if you click on a plane you are interested in , you will get a picture of it, all the stats, it cruising speed and if it is late or on time to its destination! http://tinyurl.com/ltn8xzp
if you puig in JZA962 you will see one of the wonderful prop airliners that Jazz airways still uses

Happy freakin Friday, y'all!
I just found Waldo.
howdy ,judi
well that is good news. pour waldo a cuppa
As he is a proper noun, he gets no recognition or points in this game.
poor Waldo
He really needs to put him self out there more.
*himself* even
worry not about typo's today, judi. I mark no papers on March break:))
no "pilkunnussija" i sight;)
i will let you goggle that words meaning and its literal translation lol
i have been trying to figure out for weeks how to slip that word into an English assignment:)
Oh my. I did google it. I'm guessing an English prof would be caught off guard by that one.
what is this word? and hi y'all
howdy bichon, look it up. the fun is in the discovery
look what up?
the word..
pilkunnussija
I think it's Finnish, though. So, points off for that.
the meaning is one thing, but the literal translation is a riot
English is nothing but an almalgamation of many words from other cultures anyways
I think we have a couple of those in babble land
*gets mop to clean up Crossy's amalgamation*
lol
i think so as well, riverdance
however, it has been pretty good of late
I chuckled at the etymology of the word
:)
and good morning everyone
Hiya, River.
i came across this word last month, after dealing with a war in babble of a particular word incorrectly used. Was shocked at the time, but i had to find the fun in it all
once had the FAA come to our house in rural western Kansas ~~ they said something was sending a signal that was interfering with the jets radios.......
cannot even remember what the word was or the two who i was jousting with over it.:)
good for you.....I have been corrected on occasion and it.......its annoying......
lol, gemeni, i told you you had too much juice going through that ham radio..
and hurtful sometimes
lol, river, these two were serious as heart attacks over the entire thing. i would of laughed at the time if they had not been so ugly over it
but it is in the past, just wanted to share my word discovery
that is a fun word....thanks for sharing
Oh dear. Glad I missed that.
definitely Finnish
I cant believe I am already stuck with 75 to go
it was a tv booster in the attic that we hadn't used in years... they took it!! said they had been searching for a long time
lol, gemeni
is this true gemini?
yes true story
it does happen , riverdance
That's crazy, gemini! They must have thought ET was trying to phone home from your attic.
some equipment can really play havoc on jet communications
especially the older unshielded stuff
*re-afixes tin foil beret*
i like you made a beret instead of a standard hat;)
omg.....that is funny....I can picture the men in black suits coming to your house - like Will Smith in Men in Black
but that will not deal with the mind control gas they put in the jet slipstream to control you...
yep ,,, you can imagine,,, they drove up in a white vehicle with a big round antenna on top ~ scared me,, the guy pulls out his official FAA Badge
What a riot.
I had no idea what they were looking for.... they said the signal led them here.....
today is "poke a conspiracy theorist" day
i mean why worry? big brother is tapped into all our cell phone anyways...
hehe
you're right,, if they can find a tv booster in my attic....
Sounds like X-Files
if service providers did not sell the phones, the govt would dive them away with each tax return. easier to keep track of everyone that way
No kidding. Although, I think it would be kind of boring - being tasked to drive around in a van chasing ancient radio signals. Suppose they go off grid and go storm chasing for sh*ts and giggles?
lol
give
Good day to all.
Hiya, Scrabbs!
judi, of you look on the back of most old radios, home entertainment units, you will actually find a fcc sticker on many and it will state that the device is designed to take any ambiet radio signals without emitting any harmfull ones of its own
scrabby!
Hi Scrabs. Funny story about Jax and the potty
good morning all
Very funny! I truly wondered if we would need to call a firefighter to saw it off. We would have tried oil on his scalp first though.
ambient
hi teach
what happened scrabby??
I think every parent, granparent, aunt/uncle, cousin has a similar tale
My greatnephew Jaxson thought the potty I brought to him was a cool toy. He removed the container portion then placed the seat over his head and got one arm through too. Removal was a challenge!
My great niece put a bucket over her head and it wouldn't come off.
Oh no!
lol!! when our son was young, he stuck his head through the plastic slats of one of those kiddie patio chairs. I was at work and the mrs called me, i told her to go in the tool box, grab my hack saw and just gut the chair off of him
cut
LOL!
Kids are so goofy.
That tops my foil beret.
How often do you wear your foil beret, Judi?
did you know, the chemicals in tinfoil cause tourrettes syndrome? lol
No way.
sorry, scrabby, just today is national "poke a conspiracy theorist day"
Aaah.
well, at least my inner voices tell me it is..
The voices are entertaining, aren't they?
stat for the 9 please?
they are!
tough i am still waiting for one of them to come up with the correct winning lottery numbers
though
That is the least one of them could do.
i have promised presents
fl 9/114 a pl
:(( I hear all this noise about how wonderful Pandora is and i go to see what it is all about for the first time and guess what?
we are not allowed to use it in Canada:(
ty o-o
I have no biggies yet.
Just a radio station app. It is nice on the computer but sucks up data and battery on phone.
Wow. I had not idea that Canada was anti-Pandora. Have you tried I Heart Radio?
What is Pandora? I listen to ITunes radio when I'm at the computer
i use tuneinradio.com with good results
BRB, I must give the bunny her meds and feed her.

even a young pup like me is partial to some tunes of that time. Crossy has a thing for the Andrews Sisters
how are you doing, Crossy, we had a very late in season snowfall that left much of the island without power for a time
good morning everyone :-)
hi Diane
And hey, crossy....I have 206 Andrews Sisters on my computer... any requests ? ;-)
we have had tons of snow here, but the brunt of it is most likely over now. mild today at minus 8c and bright sunshine
boogie woogie bugle boy
ha ha.... coming right up !
ah, I loved the boogie woogie music
when my uncle came home from WW2, he tought me how to play TD boogie woogie on the piano
TD - Tommy Dorsey
If you want some modern day boogie woogie, look up Sylvan Zingg !!
isn't he the greatest! I have one as icon on my computer - playing for a couple who really dance up a stgorm
**storm
There was a young Canadian in last Anne Murray concert we went to... he was awesome too, but I forget his name.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QQzbCm\nlZM4
That is where I first saw Sylvan Zingg... on that video and went searching for more by him.
It is around 60F in the sun and the door to the studio is open to the garden. It makes up for the doom and gloom in the house.....
sounds lovely ruby
And every time I open the door there are lizards basking in front of it.
The handyman is out there pruning because everything is starting to leaf up
need to punch a few skylights into you place, ruby, if it is that goomy!
Look up Michael Kaeshammer ; he's the Canadian boogie woogie fellow I was mentioning ( born in Germany, though )
an, Spring has Sprung for you
our spring is buried under 5 feet of snow.. somewhere
weird weird winter or even non-winter. Everybody is getting sick because there was no real frost to kill the flu and cold germs.
Spring is here in Arizona too!
he has been out to our little concert hall, diane
Diane, is the desert in flower? I dreaM OF SEEING |Namibia WHEN IT FLOWERS, BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.....
You are very lucky then ! I loved his performance and it was too short!!
whoops sorry for caps
we'll probably get 3 feet all at once at the end of March and it will kill all the flowering plants and fruiting trees
ruby...we had a lovely rain last weekend and apparently after a rain, the desert comes "alive"!! The flowers in the yards are all showing off already! ( I live in Canada though, and it will be several months until we see flowers)
We are heading home in mid April and the tulips and grape hyacinth might be peeking through.
Here's a desert rose for you ruby
Hmmm...looks familiar ;-)
hubby just brought me some beautiful tulips yesterday
I took a lovely picture of a cactus flower last year and framed it. Unfortunately, they only last a few days :-( I'm going to post it on FB
have never had the pleasure of seeing them - parents had a winter home on the desert in Nevada
just monkeyed en7/27, now to find the other en7
EN 5/20 / EN 7/48 / EN 8/65 combo
ty, that gives me off of the 8's
all*
it's the en7/56 I'm missing
is it related to the previous word?
the person who dows the en 5/20
does
i think that would be the EN 7/48
my mistake
yes, it's the en7/56 I can't find a way to extend
There, I just changed my icon...I hope it shows :-)
will let other clue today for a bit. i have too many windows going at once on this infernal machine:/
thanks anyway crossy
yes diane, beautiful
ah, found it, different ending - unrelated to previous words
i do not think you can extend the 7/36 to an 8, even though i do not have the 7/36 i DO have all the 8's so i am confuzzled
the "young ones" are back from their walk...time to make breakfast. BBL
it was en7/56 crossy, that I was missing
lol, i give up.. i am losing track of things..lol
i will, however take a clue for this 7/56 if you are willing;))
ends same way as one of the excessive rain removal words
just goes to show you, one should not play babble,play bookworm and do an essay for English classes all at the same time
ty flosey
or the frankie song, I did it my ***
plural
there is my buddy Frankie again;)
interesting that there is no singular for that word
true
fe5/16 doesn't seem to be in the Enable dictionary
odd word
yup one of the ranks of the un-words we find in these grids
just monkeyed lo5/14 - meet me in St. lo5/14, lo5/14, meet me at the fair - another spelling not found in Enable
I'm just having fun with this grid now - a relaxing morning - played bridge Mon, Tues, Thurs and again this afternoon
ty flosey
yw crossy, taking a break for a bit
the gang of girls get together for brandy, cigars , and a killer game of bridge;)

ty cos
my monkeys just walkked out in a fit of anger after that so7
terrible to be struggling this hard with 97 still to go:((
mine died a long time a go
LOL, monkeys on strike!
TGIF which means I'm off at 730p and not 1130p so I have more time to finish this :)
my monkey just never showed up for work. No call, nothing.
my monkeys broke plates and slammed the door on their way out. sad pathetic immature overworked chimps
going to be monkey stew for dinner if things are not stepped up a bit around here..
if things keep going down this road they will one day say No and rise against us :) and it'll be all babble's fault.
Cos, dear...chimps are not monkeys. I'm weird..used to raise both..have a problem with the lingo.
oh oh, Planet of the Apes!
Oh I know I was trying to "slur" them :P
such great clues here, ty
howdy Mimi.. I bought "Lovely Bones", am enjoying it, ty
speaking of... I just found out Koko is still alive. Watched some videos of him signing. So cute!
Fabulous, Aloy! Let me know your final opinion. Wait until you get to the scene where the dad is in his study with the ships in bottles...it will break your heart.
any clues for the last wo 8, please? - can't find another compound that works
I nearly went to Stanford to work with Penny Patterson and Koko years ago...just didn't work out. Also just missed going to Africa to work with Dian Fossey...if I had been there, I'd have been killed, too. So sad there.
ok, Mimi, will do.. am having delays here, internet not up to snuff
I am so fascinated with dian fossey and jane goodall.. im sorry you missed the chance working with penny and koko. i love the work they do
wo8 - wo4 + brief letter
ty flosey, needed that one
I have raised chimps, orangs, and gorillas and gorillas are the BEST. Koko is so amazing and she loves her kitten babies.
ty flosey - don't know how I missed that one!
great christmas vacation word in the grid. "Fixed the ne5 post!"
yw nan
another silly word
ty flosey for the wo 8
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
I remember the chicago zoo where that baby fell into the gorilla enclave and the mother gorilla saved the baby s
((mimi))
yw bichon
wtg nan
((crossy))
congrats, nan!!
Woot nan
Yes, gorillas are lovely creatures. I had a 500 lb. male who used to take M&M's out of my hand using two fingers only so as to be sure he didn't hurt me.
wow cos, what a story, would have been interesting to see
mm, did not know my icon animal could be extended that way for wo 6/29 and wo 7/56 ;))
Wish my dogs could take some lessons from that gorilla Mimi
ahh yes, as in eating fast sort of thing..
I wish people could, bichon!
Bathroom reno is finally finished - 2 months after the start --- just a few details on other work being done today --- retiled PR floor as well and other minor carpentry details hubby didn't want to tackle (Think he's getting old!)
My dog too! Every time I feed him from the hand and he grabs too fast and nips my finger I go OW! and the next bite he takes is very gentle lol
Chimps, however, are definitely the dark side.
bye all :)
so planet of the apes have it wrong then. the chimps should be the villains?
bye nan
bye, nan.. see you next time
Oh, yeah...definitely. Gorillas are the best, orangs can go either way but usually good, but chimps are the ones most genetically like us and the only ones who kill monkeys and wild pigs and eat the meat.
ah i did not know that! the last part I mean
But chimps were designed to live a different lifestyle than the other two apes. They actually need to be more aggressive...similar to the way humans evolved, needing aggression to survive.
That does make sense.
can see why you would not want to confuse a chimp with a monkey
Thats right Aloy. Makes a lot of sense now.
Can't wait until my grandsons are old enough to go to the zoo with me and really learn. I've also raised tigers, lions (no bears) and many other species, so it's fun going to the zoo with me because I "speak the languages" and can get the animals to really react.
The older grandson seems to be interested in animals and the younger in music...so, Mimi is 2 for 2 since those are my areas of "expertise."
Can I go with!?
was just thinking the same, cos
Wish I lived near you Mimi!!
what an interesting visit to the Zoo
I do love monkeys, though...raised 2 wooly monkeys and a squirrel monkey at home...wouldn't recommend that. Still have a scar on my thumb where a capuchin monkey put her canine tooth nearly all the way through it...it was numb for months.
Have a look at my profile!!
ouch, might have killed a nerve
No one wants to go to the zoo with me ever because I like to read every sign about the animals lol. I might go to the local zoo soon to feed the giraffes. They let you feed them for 1.00 3 crckers) and you can pet their heads.
A former boyfriend and I went on a cross-country trip and I visited all the zoos while he had business appts. In Milwaukee he asked where to find me when he came back so I told him to just go to the primate house and look for a crowd..which he did...and found me easily. Said later "You'll never know how weird it is to go to the zoo and see the woman you love on display in a cage with two orangutans!
lol nice
Love the profile pics, Dee!
Deeha, beautiful children but picture is far too big - only see bits at a time - beautiful smiles
Cos, you live relatively close to me...have you ever gone to Out of Africa at Camp Verde, AZ? I used to be their education director when they were still in Phoenix. They have really expanded and they don't keep animals in cages...they have habitats. Even have swimming pool for the tigers!
Oh, the many stories I could tell....you'll have to wait for me to finish my book...still working on it.
something major going on behind the scenes, i.e., my cursor keeps changing to an eggtimer and Babble freezes.. going to take a break as it is frustrating, ty for the clues and chat.. poof
I actually meant the animal picture!! Don't know what happened to that ENOURMOUS picture it didn't start off like that I tried to erase it and start again but couldn't do it!!
Bye, Aloy..sorry about your computer issues.
Crossy...are you still here?

Crossy is back!:)
Hi, Crossy
Hello Jaxx. Quiet here this evening!
very quiet
I am still here. i have 89 to go and this grid is kicking my butt!
howdy, soodles
I have 75 to go and my brain is addled
Hello (( Crossy)))
My brain was addled before I even logged on. Lost cause.
LOL
lol. I feel that way today also. I have no classes now for the next week and i am sure my brain will turn to mush
On the plus side, the first word I found this evening was a 9! Unheard offor me!
You came to it with a fresh eye
nice to get the big ones out of the way early
*wanders back in*
Heya crossy :) hubby is making his own bacon this week!
howdy jes
mmm, home made bacon....
hi, Jes
Lol Jaxx. Only one of me eyes is fresh! The other eye is bleary & blotchy!
nothing like doing it up yourself
how's it, jaxx?
Well clearly the clear eye was in control
I am having a hard time with this grid
I'll probably regret asking this, Jes, but what does making one's own bacon entail?
uhm.... well, i don't really know more specifically than raw meat and seasonings and salt. there's a reason I don't do much of the cooking, hah!
Wise woman!
heheh. we traded off for a while early in the relationship, and it was really obvious that he's much better in the kitchen than am i.
I used to make my own salt beef for Christmas but it got too hard to source the saltpetre.
hickory or apple or liquid smoke is also often used alnong with maple
i prefer the hickory/ maple set up for my bacon
i don't really like strong maple in my bacon.
then smking the meat with a nice apple wood would be best for you
and just a touch of brown surger to infuse the meat
sugar
yup, much yummy
cut thick and seasoned with just a bit of cracked black pepper and baked
heheh. yeah, a surger in my breakfast would be suboptimal
a slab of bacon can also be smoked with apple wood trimmings and infused with grade A honey
just for the right blend of sweet and essence of apple
we live in an apple belt here and everyone save the tree trimmings
I thought you had given up on bacon crossy?
i am allowed bacon once a week
gave up bacon?! whatwhatwhat?
my intake has been seriously curtailed, jes:((
sadness... health concerns?
He's just not the same crossy
Hello Babbleworld!
Hi Jill
howdy do, jilly?
back again
and I need a clue for la 6/36, please
Hello annie and jes...glad it is Friday!
Attorney
hi jill
thanks, Molly, should have seen that one
Annie, Molly

hi bichon :)
Just about to eat dinner

Whatcha having for dinner bichon?
Eggplant cutlets with pasta

Yummy! I am making shrimp thai curry soup here
sounds good too
How bout you annie?
I am having chicken and rice
and you, jilly
It's heating up
Amen!!
oh, you already said what you are having jill. I spent the afternoon playing mah jongg so I am a bit farklempt
My head is full of craks, bams and dots
yes, jes, must take care of this mass of muscle and think a tad more about what i eat, plus the acid reflux is killing me
Well, have to give that to you Annie, never did catch on to mah jongg!
I love the game. Havent played in years but we started a game again.
it is home made battered fish and chips tonight, home made coating using heard and spices and crushed special K cereal and the spuds are nice russets cut plank style and bathed with two TBS of virgin olive oil mixed with herbs and even more secret spices
eeh. acid reflux sucks
all very love fat overall
herbs*
low*
After losing weight I rarely have reflux, except when I over eat!
autocorrect issues?
phone...brb
it is your bodys way of saying do not eat that
no, keyboard issues. no matter what device i am using, the fist thing i do is disable the auto correct
first
i can make my own mistakes, do not need auto-correct adding to them;)
fair enough :)
back
<---does not use autocorrect except on smart phone
same thing with Microsoft word. When writing, i have to disable its American bias when it comes to many words so my paper ois not filled with red lines:)
wb jilly
thanks, nbt/nbs...feeling hopeful I might finish this one!
My English classes are really giving the programme a workout
it is hard grinding for me with 89 left!
have 136 left, but have 3 of the 8's
59 left and lickety is the reason i'm not totally stuck
i have yet to list:( grid is slapping me around
*pads crossy for bumping*

phand! h ow is the new job? *comes back on*
ahh...found crossy's favorite animal!!
arrrooooo
and extend my animal for two words that describe eating too much, too fast
and the two others that go with it!
yaaa!
Okay, guess will have to chat with phand later, must get to store!
i think i need a new wolf.
Jilly, I finished all my computer learning today, now I need to learn the documenting program.
i try and freshen him up every three to six months
the people seem nice.
ah..good phand...it's a needed role for nursing I know, I am glad my m-i-l is in a good facility
how is your mom doing?
Her anxiety is getting the best of her now; went to her MD appointment. She fell right into a trap...LOL, she was trying to get him to tell her she didn't need to check her BG, told him she can't read it...he told her to have her aid help her, then she turns around and asks if she really needs to use the med box (I set up for her) and he says, well, if you can't see your BGTM you certainly need to use a med box...*chuckles*. HE even put that on her DC paperwork!
good for the doc!
On the downside, she has called twice all panicky thinking she was having another stroke, last time with the typical numb around the mouth from hyperventilation, he also agreed on that. Gave her relaxation techniques...of course she brushed those right off..
Thanks for asking phand...and now REALLLY have to get to store...bbl *poof*
it's so hard when our parents get old enough to really need help, and shouldn't live on their own.
bye, jilly
made it 1/2 way. bbl.
i know that feeling. My da got old FAST and is a very frail 70
Good morning all :)
howdy liz
Hope you've had a good week, crossy
i am sure my beloved will have a nice honey-do list for me first thing tomorrow morn
hi all, how did it go, phan?
hi folks
en7/56 clue please?
not on its top, not on its side, not on its bottom + methods
now that was a crappy clue. how about: not the beginning + carnivals have mid****
thankee, welki - i got it from the first clue anyway - not so crappy, i think :)
how're things, jes - busy, busy, busy?
yeah, got my tax note back, and have 5 weeks to come up with $10,000. so that's a thing. but looks like we might have just found a buyer for the truck, which should help a little
aw, jes, that's horrible. stupid taxes
I'll trade ya jes
bet you have some serious capital gains, ru
what pisses me off is we pay quarterlies and then still owe a bunch of money in April anyway.. it's just demoralizing
for us, we pay estimated on 'projected' income based on historical bonuses - feh. have to take care of uncle, whether he's u.s. or canadian
we do too.. but they still get more and more and more
hello welk
yeah, the reason it's so high this year is the clinic lost money last year, and that's what they estimated for this year based on.
what's the count for next week?
no sense complaining. we have it better than most
and as an American citizen .. you watch your tax dollars go to corrupt regimes in the middle east and Africa and Afghanistan and see your government just piss away billions of dollars senselessly .. I want to move out of this country sometimes
at least five, owl
oh? will ask via mail
no you don't, ru. i'd move back in a heartbeat
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today?
hi min
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!!
hi min
i would like to find a rommmate
I would like to get rid of my roommate. Do you want him?
ask je - would be more comfy to have a double bed than share one with me *lol*
lol.. it ain't THAT easy MInver :D
ohhh - thought you meant next week *delete*
any news on the car front, ru?
nothing yet.. going shopping some this weekend.. I'm still waiting for the money to be transferred to my account after the sale of the property.. still hasn't happened yet
now, min..
saw a beeeyoootiful merc c63 today - not as fancy as an r8, but lots of hp and you can get it as a convertible
I'm not doing the R8.. I can't justify the gas mileage.. although I really, really want one.. it just doesn't make sense
19 on the highway, but you have to buy premium
12 around town.. it's nuts
I might as well have a Humvee or bently for that poor of mileage :D
mmmmmmmm ... bentley
might as well spring for the aston martin
ha
If I looked like Pierce Bronson I would in a heartbeat :D
i'm living vicariously through your bank account
at 120 mph, everyone looks like pierce brosnan
I saw him on a beach in LA once.. I think maybe one of the most handsome men I've ever seen in my life..
i consider him sort of pretty, but i know what you mean
yes.. he is . I get what you're saying.. but in person he's even more handsome than the screen as hard as that is to believe
If I could look like that for one weekend :D
i liked him as bond. there are only a couple who, for me, didn't fit the part
did NOT like timothy dalton (or george lazenby)
Bond to me is Sean Connery.. end of story
i used to think thoughts like that - if i was thin and beautiful, only for a weekend ... well toots, it ain't gonna happen
yep...
agreed - but that doesn't stop me from being a bond fan.
where are these words hiding .. jeez
the 'penultimate' bond :)
going to make supper - later, folks
later welki
pierce brosnan? couldn't you have seen George Clooney?
bye, welk.
bye, welk.
hey.. brushes with the famous for me are rare.. i'll take what I can get :D
bye, welki, have fun
hi doren.
hi all. my brain is still fuzzy. saw sting and paul simon last night and it blew my mind.. and didn't get home till 2 am
I'd love to meet RObert De Niro myself..
sounds wonderful
it sure was … one of the best concerts I've seen
how was Simon's voice?
not strong (but it never was, and hey, he's 72)
*no comment*
but his guitar was better than ever and his voice still was okay. They did The Boxer together and it was phenomenal
love that song
they are both musical geniuses
Sting is a genius too.. I agree
He is one of my top 10 "modern" singers
ah..
they both are… and sting's voice (and body) are still as strong as in his twenties. Wish you al could have seen this concert.should have been taped for a TV special
Hi ru Hi Dorens, just tuned in so to speak
*doren : checking out Sting's body *
Almost went to the Vancouver cocert; now I wish I had
hey, did anyone see Colbert Report's "Laser Klan" last week? just watching it, and so funny
I try to catch him when I can.. no haven't seen that
Check out the old movie "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball" - sting younger is dead sexy
guess I'm going to have to list
ru, you couldn't help it, when he took off his jacket and was wearing this very tight t shirt you just saw this taut body with nearly rippling muscles through the shirt.. and i was miles away, mind you
yup, saw than saann.
saw thaT.
another really handsome guy sting
doren should check fb
i still have 70 and am listing this… looks like i'll be doing this all night ( got home from school, lay down for a minute at 4:30 and woke up at 8 thinking it was tomorrow morning

Hello again babbleworld! I see TO pulled a peri!
welcome home, jilly. i'm around for clues if you need any.
hi jilly. no, i just could not get my fingers to type what i wante dto say so i ave up
ahh...sorry about the tease then...how are you?
TY jes...just so stuffed with curry soup...
may i have a clue for the re 5/10 and the 6/18 after it please? can't see re words...
re5/10 = back to the 70s

i am missing three re words... and i feel crapy
thank you jes :)
i tried every other combination except for the logical one.
yes, ty.
re6/21 pls?
which do you need, TO? sorry you feel crappy :(
re6/21 - gave the story again
re related
that's the one ty!
acutaly, i feel c rappy, i look crapy.
so7/28 pls?
so7 is weird - it means sisterly. starts same as so5, then add 4 letter word meaning verbal
think of sisterhood, temple
jilly, i have a virus it is settled in my chest. i am beginning to cough, symptom relief?
i have been hearing that clue for an hour and still cannot get it all
putting a towel over your head and breathing in garlic infused steam actually helps.
i did steam myself yesterday.
Fluids, a cough syrup that helps break up phlegm and making sure you are not running a fever
i will try again now. happy babbling
cough syrup=expectorant rathe
taking mucinex
So plus consonant plus or4 temple
did you get the so7, TO, or should I try to put together a different clue?
have allergy as well. the trees do not care about the foot of snow ont he gorund, they are budding.
hello hello
ty
Just make sure lots of fluids...if not getting better within 24-48 hours..you need to see a medical professional.
just did.
he said two weeks
Too many people around here have been getting pneumonia
does not hurt to breath, n o wheezing, lungs ok
oh, that sounds miserable, temple.
what kind o f cake does your recipe for a single make?
good, if any consolation, I got the same thing...son had had a cold...me, just goes right to my lungs
temple and jilly need to report to the infirmary for cake.
*pretends a cough to get cake*
LOL....if the thai curry soup won't cure me... nothing will!
don't even try it, welk.
but if you want I will bake you a cake.
*wheeze*
oh, i've had my share of the creeping crud this winter - will wait for the flying cannoli
jilly, saw the photo of you 'in action' today - hope everything turned out well
lol
i don't do cannoli, but i do do cookies
must.have.cannoli
<----thinking about a single serve chocolate micro cake of molly's...
lol go to totowa then
they're good - but i get so tempted to dress them up
OR I can bring you one. btw should i bring anything?
that's really nice of you to ask! if you have a special cannoli, that would be great. i'm going to try to make my seasonal pilgrimmage to wegman's and my first trip to trader joe's this trip
how about the chocolate cake vodka i had wednesday?
Now that sounds good
i have not yet had the cannoli but a pastry shop opened one town over. i faor sflogiatelle and theirs are good..
bring whatever you'll drink, i'm going to stop at the duty free store on my way in
jilly; it smels heaenly and goes down like lighter fluid.
ooooh
do they have godiva liquor?um
i just had mollys micro cake a few mins ago
have no idea, but will look
i do not have any ice cream, so i will pass. but now i WNAT ONE
cos, you liked a flavored whipped cream some time ago - or was it vodka?
time to get take more mucinex
no sharing a room if you're contagious :)
Well, have to let dinner settle down just a bit before even thinking about that...and having to decide if I want an alcholoholic drink or cake...can't have both!
yes whipped cream vodka. with OJ or orange pop it tastes like a creamsicle. but i dont dirnk that now. gives me ehartburtn lol
whipped cream vodka + chocolate cake vodka?
oh, that sounds delish!
that works too TO!
whipped cream vodka + godiva iquer
if you mix butterscotch schanpps with sour apple schanpps.. caramel apple yum
sorry to butt in in on what looked like making plans conversation :
Man, I need a new bartender!
someone i know invented a drink that was yummy, and i cannot for the life of me remember...1/2 bailey's and i think the other half frangelico with a splash of black coffee
you didn't butt in - chat's free game
i have add i can switch tracks freely
ryan insists root beer + whipped cream vodka equals root beer floats. ill take his word for it. root beer and vodka?
why not?
sounds.. root beerish
root beer and choclate is better
root beer chocolate cake is yummy
tonights choice is whiskey though its been a long long long week and next week will be worse. my hours changed ughhhh
hey everybody
i think i need to go to bed and hope to eel better in the am. tomorrow is mardi gras party.
hi, rows
Hi Rows. Your name reminds me of a Golden Girls quote.
oh?
brb
"Hi my name is Rose. Like seats in a movie theater"
lol
nice
to which dorothy replied "or the flower" and rose goes "oh yeah!"
my name is Rose, so that quote is apt
g'night everyone
lol every time you come in chat I think of that scene. and thank you. i love that scene lol .. gn welki
:D
Hi Rose!
ayas
i have a feeling that all Roses in the world, even if they haven't seen that episode of Golden Girls, has thought of the alternate spellings of our name
the funniest was when i worked in my first job in China and they gave me a nametag that said Roes
and they honestly thought they had spelled my name right
hi aeb :)
I have a great aunt Rose.. I'll have to ask Grandma about that
night, welk.
Roes? lol .. my name is Howie and my god mother always spells it Howey. Shes my god mother come on!
haha
yeah i don't know, i don't get it... but i have always been a very detail-oriented person for whom grammar and spelling come easily
i have a visual memory when it comes to names
whats worse is my last name is more common as a first name so everyt letter i get from doctors and such greet me with my last name as my first
My name is spelled with 2 n's (Marilynn) and people always ask "are you sure?"
annoys me so bad lol
lol oh no mcurl!
i got called "Roxanne" by a customer service person today on the phone and that drives me crazy... well my full first name is actually Rosanne, not Rose, so they weren't as far off as you might have been thinking, but still
I know, it's kind of funny!
I do have an aunt named Marilyn with one N lol
lol, you should say, 'wait, no, let me check my ID card and see...'
and see how they react lol
I have a sister (we call Roz) whose name is Rosslynn That's always a killer!
well almost everyone spells Rosanne wrong, and many say it wrong... it's not a hard name, but it's just not common
going by Rose is just a lot easier, plus it suits me better
I should say that some time Rows! What gets me is even when I spell it out they still only write 1 N!
I hate my name with a passion but it defines me I think. :P
aww cos
i like my name Rose, but Rosanne seems unnecessary to me unless it's in conjunction with my middle name
why why why couldnt my middle name be my first lol
my middle name is one syllable, so having just Rose in front of it would sound kind of choppy and not very well flowing
just odd because no one at all calls me Rosanne, it's just my official name...
so like, i got a job offer with a contract that says Rose on it and i'm like... i'm not sure if that should say Rosanne, since that's what my passport says...
oh dont get me started on that.. Howie isnt my formal name and I have to use it on applications ugh.
i mean I have to use Howard
yeah
so is that the KL job rows?
yes, Jill
i emailed them last night asking if they might have to correct the name on the contract, but since it's Saturday there now, i'm guessing i'll wait a couple days to hear back
conrgats on the offer!@
It sounds good!
thank you :)
i will probably take this one... just have to sort out summer work to make it work out
it does, and they seem to really want to do everything possible to get me to work there
they are buying me my flight there, for one thing, which wasn't originally offered and isn't usually offered to teachers
Yay!
Im nearing the one year mark at work.. so i know the feeling of a job offer.. enjoy that feeling :)
yes, well this one is especially good because of the potential of it being somewhere i stay for a long time... it's a 2 year contract
I hope it works out
thanks, me too!
i really like Kuala Lumpur and could see myself living there

Fortunately, the prediction is for the water to remain in the watercourse.
WEll, still plenty of snow pack in mountains!
I am fine with the weather. Montana has had recorded snowfall in every month. North Dakota has been without any recorded snow in August.
Oh I know it! Spent two summers in Butte MT, one year was 102 degrees on 4th of July ...next year it snow
Sorry
uh-oh, o-o fell asleep on his keyboard!
o-o has fainted
Wow, Jj, you have been blest.
Just another senior moment.
LOL, I spent 3 years total in Butte...I'd go back again, good peoples
ok, found enough words so I can list. Now I will finish.
Rode the Empire Builder through Montana to the West Coast many years ago. Only time I have been in Montana.
I have lived in and out of Montana my whole life. When we moved back in '89 I told my hubby I would never leave again
Montana is big and beautiful.
Lots of different topography..something for everyone
Will always remember the smell of the paper mills in Idaho and Washington.
heading to bed....g'nite all....
We took a train from Montana to Seattle when I was 3. I had never seen a african american ever...guess I was fascinated with a family on train..turned to my parents and asked how they got their skin burned...
night, pen!
Niters penquis
Be well, penguis.
ty...bye!
totally stuck on the sa6/18 and the sa5/18...
sa5/18 is the same as sa6/36 without the sometimes vowel
sa 5 -- one who cuts trees
thats the sa6/36...ahve that one
if you add -ial to the sa6/18 you get an adjective describing fancy dress
noop whoop
got it
the last three letters of the sa6/18 are the first three letters of the Spanish bull (who is also in the grid)
hmmm thinking uusue
nice clue, Sue.
s + carney, linkletter or fleming + cicero was an **ator
ty..got it finally...

hello une!
hey jilly :-)
I feel guilt.
My mom texted me that my therapist from when I was a kid died. I hated her guts. She always sided with my parents.
And I just find out she was also a lesbian. I have mixed feeings about ehr death. She was nurse ratched basically
jeezomeez
well if she sided with your parents cos.. she deserves to die :D
he everyone
man she was a real.. um. i cant use that word in public
hi jen
hey jen
the word can be entered into babble grid however
hi jen
better not cos :D
hi jen
lol true jilly true
there's a certain sadness having someone pass that you knew in childhood
Yes. I feel some kind of sadness. I suppose maybe she meant well.
always makes me feel older
hard to say cos.. not all therapists mean well
Everything these days makes me feel older *heavy sigh*
It must have not been easy being an out lesbian therapist in dupage county in the 1990s
adopted two kids too.
I had no clue til her obit.
where's dupage county?
Now I wonder if I told her I was in the same team as her. maybe se would have treated me differently.
Was she really 'out" then?
north of cook county, IL.. where the rich people live. like the houses in home alone
are there really teams these days?
apparently. my mom says she knew ever since she met her
no not anymroe ru but back then
early 1990s
yeah... I can't believe all the great stuff that is happening now and all the court cases that have been won time after time. It's really great to see
I am especially proud of Illinois. My home state!
they'll fall one at a time I guess
just waiting for them to overturn the state ban here so ryan and my marriage can be valid again
And then there's Montana *heavier sigh*
i certainly hope that happens soon cos.. good for you
Montana will come around jilli.. just you wait
Montana has a libertarina streak I think? Libertarians are supportive of equality marrige so theres hop
Too many tea partiers though
cooee and g'day from me
Especially in the county I live in!

*sigh* well at least you're back on the cyber waves.
my sister that lives near, took care of it for me and I have to repay her
My hernia is really bothering me tonight or I have caught some kind of bug
do you have pain, hun?
real bad Rose--:(
enough to make my toes curl up--lol
where abouts, hun? or would you rather not say?
Its right in the hernia or behind it one
hmm, does changing your posture ease it at all?
sitting and bent over seems the best---Ive tried walking and its not easing up any
i'm hoping it's not strangulated. can you press over the area and get some relief?
its bad enough that its making me want to vomit
you poor darling. pugs, has the pain been this bad ever before?
Its so that I cant stand a feather to touch it
not this bad and not for this long
pugs, can you get to a doctor or emergency room? is there someone who can drive you?
I feel like a horse down with a twisted gut--lol
that
that's exactly it, pugs
no-one drives here but me and Iam thinking of going, if it dont ease here in a few hours
how long have you had the pain, hun?
Iam not going to have much choice. about 7 hours now
aagghhh, get out of there, right now!!! i am really scared you have strangulated. you need medical attention RIGHT NOW!!!
pugs, if you wait any longer, you may not be able to drive. please, please, just go
pugs, do as 'nurse' Rose says
