night dee, sweet dreams. and helloooo liz

1:49 am

How was the physio today and what did s/he say about your ankle?

1:51 am

forgot to tell her...i was so tired....had been awake since 4am. *sigh* but i was able to work with the floatie around my right ankle. it's amazing how something so small makes you work that much harder.

1:52 am

Hope it's feeling a bit looser.

1:52 am

i don't understand it. in the pool, stepping off a step, leading with the other foot, is so easy. try doing it on land, and i just cannot get a smooth flowing action happening.

1:53 am

Is this something new or has it been like this since the op?

1:55 am

no, it happened last time too. i just can't walk down stairs one foot after another. well i do it, but it takes forever. just before i fell, i was doing it okay again. it seems to take quite some time to happen after the surgery.

1:55 am

So I guess it's a matter of patience and perseverance - :(

1:56 am

yeah, i don't have a lot of either ....lol

1:56 am

Hmmm!

1:58 am

liz, we had one of those 4 seasons in a day today. at 7am it was very mild and dry. by 10ish, it was hailing and bucketing, then the sun came out, and we had instant rainforest humidity.

1:58 am

Think there must be a really obvious ending I'm missing here!

1:59 am

liz, turn left for a lot of words to end with .....ers

1:59 am

Weird climate you have down there! Don't know how you cope!

1:59 am

Thanks for that advice - I'd been going right for er endings.

2:00 am

and awaaay she goes...

2:01 am

lol! Got to find the words first, though I did just find about 6 I'd missed like that!

2:01 am

And where do I need to look for the 8, pls?

2:02 am

sp8, a plural

2:02 am

Thanks

2:02 am

Well I got an sp 7!

2:03 am

it's a weird word, means to scatter or sprinkle.

2:03 am

it belongs to a run, sp6, sp7, sp8

2:04 am

Only have 4 from that s so far.

2:05 am

And I found the run - thanks a huge lot!

2:05 am

Never heard that word before.

2:06 am

Your advice about go left is helping!

2:10 am

BBS

2:12 am

later liz

3:45 am

Gooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xxxxxx My guess for today is 132

3:48 am

Hi Worz - not a bad guess. 148 today :)

3:49 am

Morning Liz xx I usually do as many words that I am familiar with then roughly treble the amount I have come to and have got stuck on 48 - I was a little quick to guess and should have said 142 and would have looked quite clever then lol

3:50 am

I like the reasoning!

3:50 am

I'm not all that good at this game - I like grids that have either got about 60 words in or over 500 - 60 because I know I have time to monkey them and big grids because they provide hours of fun!

3:51 am

I didn't like yesterday's large one! Thought it was pretty hard.

3:51 am

How long have you played babble?

3:52 am

I didn't do much yesterday - I was out most of the day. And I've been up since 6.15 today and already got tea in the oven cooking - and it's only 8.52am!

3:52 am

Have been playing on and off for about 3 years but don't play often

3:53 am

6.15? Yuck!

3:53 am

I know. Was having a bad dream and thankfully it woke me up before it got any worse! Mind you, today I turn 43 so I am now officially old x

3:54 am

I've played regularly for about 18 months and I'm getting better but I wouldn't do so well without stats and lickety.

3:54 am

Can't believe how fast some people finish.

3:55 am

I like it when people put up clues for the bigger words - gives me a chance to look good lol

3:55 am

Happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day :)

3:56 am

There are lots of ers plurals today.

3:56 am

There are lots of ers plurals today.

3:56 am

Aww thank you. I don't intend to do a lot today and have already had my birthday pressies - I collect stamps, so I'm going to play with them later. Yes, ers words are always good - and so are re words

3:57 am

Sp 8 - weird word. Sound a bit like canal boats.

3:58 am

Actually sp 7/8

3:58 am

Haven't got that one yet but now I have spondola in my head lmao!!!!

3:58 am

No! UK CANALS.

3:58 am

sorry about caps.

3:59 am

ahhh got all three of the sp678s now! Thank you Liz! Is that the longest word today? x

4:00 am

Yes. The only 8. 9 x 7's.

4:00 am

Almost time for dinner, so have a great day x

4:01 am

I have 4 of the 7s thanks to ers. Yes, Liz, ty, you have a fantastic day/evening as well. Nice talking to you tc xx

4:14 am

How many 6s are there today please? x

4:16 am

4:17 am

4:18 am

4:18 am

ooo bugger - sorry!!!

4:35 am

good morning all

4:52 am

Hi sprite, if you're still here!

4:53 am

hey Liz! *hugs* Almost done... babble is quick without chog, lolol.

4:53 am

how have you been this week?

4:53 am

True. How was the week?

4:54 am

A bit iffy. Strange week. External stresses but I'm OK.

4:54 am

my week was wonderful. Lovely people, lovely information and intervision, very rewarding supervision, lots of encouragement to start working with people.

4:54 am

I'm really happy for you :)

4:55 am

hm, sorry about the stresses. Very glad you are ok. Have things settled or is it still iffy?

4:56 am

One thing is pretty much sorted but the other still hangs on. Then add 2 seriously ill friends into the mix - one a teen :(

4:56 am

All external and shouldn't really get me down but it does.

4:57 am

omg, so sorry, Liz. Yeah, of course it brings you down, that is so sad. *hugs*

4:58 am

The teen, daughter of a friend, has leukaemia again after about 2 years in remission and another friend has pancreatic cancer.

4:59 am

such ugly diseases :( I will pray that things work out for them, Liz, if that is ok.

4:59 am

However loving ra

4:59 am

ading!

4:59 am

hehehe, enjoying all the books? Did you start with Lackey yet?

5:00 am

Now on dream hunter. Not my fav but still loving it.

5:02 am

funny, I am the same about that. Love all the different 'brands' of hunters, but the dream hunters not so much.

5:03 am

Lost 3 comments there!

5:03 am

fireflies, btw. I am gonna clean out my email box... a few days gone and I am swamped, lol.

5:03 am

Waiting to find out relevance of boat being called Simi.

5:03 am

oh... yes, the hiccup, Liz. Server resets at 5 am game time.

5:03 am

WTG, sprite. Catch you soon xx

5:04 am

Simi? Haven't you met Simi yet???

5:04 am

Yes of course. That's why I want to know why that's the boats name in dream hunter.

5:05 am

How is Geary linked?

5:05 am

ah ok :) I love Simi. She is awesome. Ok Liz, I am off for now. Lovely chatting with you. Will hold your friends in my prayers.

5:05 am

But that's Kenyon's hook in the story.

5:06 am

Thanks. Have a lovely day.

6:37 am

good morning everyone:)

6:39 am

7:17 am

hi crossy

7:48 am

Hi kids.

7:48 am

howdy,scrabby

7:48 am

what a nice treat, I just sat down to play and my sister called me!

7:48 am

((ruby))

7:48 am

while taliing, I found 67 words

7:49 am

{{rosy}}

7:49 am

Nice, Ruby.

7:49 am

or even crossy

7:50 am

she lives in NYC and has had an awful wintert

7:50 am

We had flurries and another few inches of snow yesterday.

7:51 am

they are predicting winter's return for tomorrow but we never really had a serious winter this year

7:56 am

see you later kids, barking pups

7:56 am

Bye, Ruby

7:58 am

we had two inches of blowing drifting snow yesterday

7:59 am

How are the ski slopes? When does the resort usually shut down? The ski resort across the valley here was closed for the last 4 days but will open later for the weekend.

8:00 am

slopes are hoding solid..for now

8:00 am

holding

8:00 am

was a little mushy 2 days ago but has firmed up now

8:00 am

there is a lot of base still

8:00 am

The ski resort 30 min south stays open into April, if possible. It is a much larger resort, with 50+ runs.

8:02 am

as for our resort, march break was the big money period and everything they can get from now till end of April is gravy

8:03 am

I was surprised that our place shut down for the last 4 days, but I guess they decided it wasn't worth it financially.

8:03 am

they have their stocpiles and a good base, but will no longer spend money on hydro to run the snow guns

8:03 am

yes, they tread a fine line, scrabbs

8:04 am

This weekend will include snowmobile races so it will be loud and annoying!

8:04 am

good morning all

8:04 am

howdy, teach

8:04 am

Hi wv

8:05 am

this weekend is all our polar bear dips for charity

8:05 am

Yikes! Good luck, Crossy!

8:06 am

we raised enough for new nursery equipment for the hospital and beat our 20k goal, but now we must pony up with a nice swim In Georgian bay.. after cutting through 3 feet of ice...

8:06 am

Today is 2 weeks since my concussion and I am annoyed with tinnitus and fatigue.

8:07 am

That dip takes courage, Crossy. Is there a bonfire next to the water?

8:07 am

ourso, what happened there, scrabb? last I heard, you did not know what happened and sort of woke up in the warming hut

8:07 am

we have construction space heaters that run on propane and a warming hut

8:08 am

Head injury after slipping--I do recall impact of my face and head into the snow. It was scary, but my inuries could have been far worse.

8:08 am

I don't think I could do it, Crossy.

8:09 am

you must be more careful scrabby, do not need you stirring that grey matter of yours

8:09 am

the first 10 seconds of the dip are the worst

8:10 am

I will wear a helmet when XC-skiing and snowshoeing next season. I will start a tr5.

8:10 am

Turning and turning in the widening gy/4

8:11 am

Hi godthaab

8:11 am

Good morning Scrabbler

8:11 am

it is like 1000 needles in your body all at once as your skin turns to fire, then ice. then all the breath leaves your body in a single whoosh. Your heart then seems to pause within you , deciding if it should beat again or not and once it does , you come back to life with a gasp and a flailing of arms and legs. I can stand about 1 minute of it, max

8:13 am

I hear that it is good for the pores. lol

8:13 am

Sorry, but you people are freakin' NUTS!

8:14 am

lol, ((mimi) I say the same about you when you are down there roasting yourself in 50C temps

8:14 am

but yes, I am nuts:)

8:15 am

however, if a preemie has a new incubator next month, then it is all good

8:15 am

I couldn't do it, Crossy.

8:15 am

lol, we PAY for our universal health care! get in that water! lol

8:15 am

((crossy)) But I'm not purposely throwing myself into the heat when I don't have to. What did I miss? Did you do this for a good cause? If so, I humbly apologize...not nuts...noble.

8:16 am

lol, nobility mixed with insanity, mimi

8:16 am

I now have to finally search the health care site for insurance...dreading it...also haven't done taxes yet...can you say procrastination?!

8:17 am

I think nobility must always be mixed with a bit of insanity...otherwise, it would be too daunting to pursue.

8:17 am

last did we did was to defray the cost of moving the MRI unit to another room that had to be buit to accommodate it

8:17 am

ooph, another phone call, this time from my son. Yippee!

8:17 am

yaa for ruby!!

8:17 am

but not really poof and hi and bye mimi

8:18 am

And I didn't know about your fall, scrabs. I'm sorry to hear that

8:18 am

now*

8:18 am

Bye, ruby!

8:19 am

It was frightening, ruby, but I was lucky to not suffer more serious injuries. And my snowsport season came to an abrupt end.

8:19 am

Sorry to hear about this, Scrab---I didn't know either.

8:20 am

I hope any lingering effects vanish soon,scrabby

8:20 am

and wear that helmet!

8:20 am

I've been very busy with work and, unfortunately, with ending a long friendship..and it has turned ugly.

8:20 am

((mimi))

8:21 am

People don't usually wear helmets while cross country skiing and snowshoeing? That surprises me.

8:21 am

I am also guilty of not wearing a helmet while snowshoeing

8:22 am

I will start the tr5 here.

8:22 am

Thanks, crossy. I'm taking the high road but it's not easy maintaining peace when someone who has been close to you decides to lie and scheme.

8:22 am

they get warm on sunny days when you are not generating any real speed as in downhill skiing

8:23 am

Good morning, all.

8:24 am

Hi, Judi!

8:24 am

"we are taught how to fall correctly in our winter activities, to roll into the fall and absorb the shock properly, but sadly it does not always work out that way

8:24 am

I see many snowboarders with broken writs;(

8:24 am

wrists

8:25 am

Gravity sucks!

8:25 am

big time!

8:26 am

True, Judi.

8:26 am

Right there...gravity is no longer my friend, but it has nothing to do with an accident...just age.

8:27 am

my shoulders are as wide as a doorway these days and make good shock absorbers; rest of the body is a ruin, however.

8:27 am

Now I know where to go for a shoulder to cry on, crossy!

8:28 am

is there an my word in the grid today?

8:28 am

lol, any time you need, mimi

8:29 am

Gotta get to work. Good seeing everyone here today. Hugs all around.

8:30 am

No my- words.

8:30 am

38 left and I am tired. Maybe I will return later. Enjoy the day, kids.

8:32 am

tc mimi,scrabby

8:47 am

19 left. Time for a break. *POF*

8:47 am

*POOF* rather.

9:09 am

9:15 am

well, that coffee seems to have evaporated, off to get another, back in a sec

9:17 am

there, got it, finally:)

9:17 am

that is NBT, NBS and just over half way for Crossy:)

9:17 am

good for you

9:22 am

:) must be content with small accomplishments:). Lord knows there are very few large ones;)

9:25 am

and now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!!!

9:25 am

"A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it". - Unknown

9:25 am

True words indeed.

9:25 am

I don't set goals anymore, just plow through to grey out all

9:26 am

ah, interesting

please explain NBT and NBS

tend

9:28 am

interesting case in point. I had one 19 year old student in my math class that had no idea how to use the old Imperial measue system, and as a dded bonus, he could not tell time with the school clock that was on the wall because it was not in a digital readout format but had hands

9:28 am

no blank tiles, no blank stats

sorry my curser was in the wrong spot

9:28 am

No Blank Tile and No Blank Stats

9:28 am

snap

Thanks. Newbies need help!

9:29 am

added*

9:29 am

we are newbie friendly

9:29 am

we've probably all asked, freckles

9:29 am

it is nice to see some new faces as it were, welcome aboard, freckledcat:)

9:30 am

indeed, welcome

Thank you for that. I was a little nervous to jump in and I am not doing all that well in finding words yet but I love the game.

9:31 am

now, freckledcat, you may hear some stories about crossy, some nice some terrifying, but that was an evil crossy and I killed him;)

9:32 am

... but crossie ... except in old classroom and city hall clock towers where are you going to see an analog clock ... Of course it causes phrases like "quarter past three" to disappear from the language ... but I've never know if "half three" was 2:30 or 3:30

I have been enjoying your chatter for a few weeks now and see that you all enjoy each other. How nice!

9:32 am

hello kat and welcome to the grid - half the fun of the game is the friendly chat

9:32 am

ah crossy, nothing evil about you - a great guy

9:32 am

and the game IS slightly addictive, although I have never had that problem and have quit many times... over the last seven years:))

9:33 am

... and Imperial measure is supposed to be illegal in Canada with unusual exceptions ... must admit ... who can tell the length of anything any more ... and I have no idea how much I weigh

9:33 am

lol dose, I don't want to know how much I weigh

I think I'm caught already ! I enjoy your clues too--USUALLY a big help.

9:34 am

i banished the scale from this house 2 years ago;)

9:34 am

... what's scary about you 19 year old ... is he can't measure anything in any system Imperial, Metric or ancient Incan ... ... and he has no idea of time and due dates

9:34 am

he can read digital format like led displays

9:34 am

but it is frightening

9:35 am

he does not understand concepts like quarter to or half past the hour

9:35 am

... The only time in the last 35 years that I've known how much I weighed was when I was on chemotherapy and the nurse weighed you every week ... ... and I'd hit the button on the top of the scale to have it show the Imperial weight too

9:35 am

same here, dose

you're cursor is in the chatbox ... rather than the add words box ...

Thanks

9:38 am

Duh! I didn't think I was that computer dumb!

11:37 am

11:38 am

11:39 am

er4

11:40 am

ty ruru

11:41 am

wonder if there is a bug in the system...just entered a word and it said I'd already entered, but the word doesn't show in the list...never saw this happen before??

11:43 am

actually...just saw it happen again

11:43 am

Babs, are you having any server "hiccups"?

11:44 am

ah...just refreshed the page and the words showed up!

11:44 am

I checked my ranking for the first time in a long time and was shocked to see it had plummeted.. so I wrote to Dr. God because I have completed every grid and one day after fw, I checked that evening to see I still had "one left"! Explanation = if there are server interruptions, the word might not get registered

11:45 am

so, Dr. God said to be sure to refresh after fw

11:46 am

and it is true that our server is "wonky"

11:57 am

fw, so off to the grocery store.. happy Babbling all, poof

hi and congrats aloy !!!!!!!!

12:07 pm

hi all! (was going to say good morning but it's afternoon already!)

12:16 pm

hi sue, Gwen, Aloy, Babs

12:16 pm

hello sue and all - back for a little bit

12:18 pm

hi teach

12:19 pm

hello bichon

12:26 pm

hi all. clue for the 8?

12:27 pm

sp 6, 7, 8 SP 6 - add another consonant to the SP 5 tire, SP 7 - person who does SP 6, SP 8 plural

12:28 pm

still looking. ty vw

12:29 pm

got it! ty.

12:29 pm

yvw

12:29 pm

pargers

12:30 pm

actually you need to add another S to that to get the 8

12:32 pm

time to go out and run some errands - BBL this evening

12:34 pm

Jumped in on that clue. I have sp 4,5,6,7. Not sure what the sp8 is since sp7 is the pl?

12:34 pm

nm, added the 3pt cons tile and got the last 3 sp words

12:35 pm

if you have a flat tire you use your sp*** tire to get going.. so you must add a cons. for 3 points to get the other words. first four letters are the same as the tire but then cons is put in. then add one who does this and plural.

12:40 pm

hi again all, went out to walk the dog

12:46 pm

nbs, nbt, and more than half way, better start getting some work done

3:36 pm

the downside of smaller grids.. ;(

3:37 pm

(I don't think we are ever "alone" here; some people just aren't very talkative I guess (don't know how *that* would ever feel!)

3:37 pm

It says that there are 116 here right now; but it seems like 114 oare the strong (?) silent types. ;-)

3:38 pm

Me either...LOL. Blabbermouth...actually when I first started I mostly lurked, then harpjane clued me in..

3:38 pm

LOL! I love harpjane; but she isn't always so talkative herself!

3:39 pm

ge 5/20: what I tell my grandson his hands are every morning! :-D

3:39 pm

3:41 pm

3:45 pm

Well, our anniversary is actually tomorrow, but I managed to schedule something with my friend and I'd forgotten to update the calendar; so I goofed. (He's been razzing me about it too)

4:03 pm

nbs (I had NBT long ago)

4:03 pm

4:04 pm

New word...pa6/27, an old fashioned wall plaster

4:07 pm

4:08 pm

Boy! All of a sudden I'm sleepy! I had DH go take a nap before our "big night"; now maybe I need one too!

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

hi folks (where are you going, nef?)

4:09 pm

It's their anniversary welki!!

4:10 pm

anniversary dinner out, welki; celebrating 39 years.

4:10 pm

good afternoon everyone:)

4:10 pm

And we are going "fancy" tonight

4:10 pm

hi crossy

4:10 pm

happy anniversary, mr. & mrs. nef!! 39 years! you deserve a night out

4:11 pm

They deserve a holiday to destination of their choice!

4:11 pm

Yeah. Last time we went out "fancy" was probably our 5th I believe.

4:12 pm

fancy - as in valet parking, coat check, maitre d' and sorbet between courses?

4:12 pm

Don't forget finger bowls welki! LOO

4:12 pm

or, like me, does it simply mean no wrapper on the burger? *lol*

4:13 pm

*lol

4:13 pm

1 year I bought live lobsters and fixed a very nice dinner here; but my son felt sorry for the lobsters because they were in a big paper grocery bag and he put them in tap water in the laundry tub!

4:14 pm

welki, fancy means valet parking and the whole works (tonight at least)

4:14 pm

we had a supper like that once on the chesapeake - a burlap sack of blue claw crabs and one daughter crying for the crabs' families

4:14 pm

yaa for Mr. and Mrs. Nef!!!

4:15 pm

<---has trouble picking out lobsters from tank

4:15 pm

i hope you have a great time, nef - it's cause for a BIG celebration :)

4:15 pm

I have no trouble picking out a lobster.. the biggest one is just fine, ty

4:16 pm

Jilly, I went to the upscale grocers and got them on ice that time. We usually don't get lobsters at all

4:17 pm

when we had our hobby farm, we made it a habit to name all the animals after cuts of meat, so as to make the transition at butchering time a bit easier. for example we had a pair of hogs and their names were pork chop and back bacon.

4:18 pm

When we first were married, we had a friend who had a little Italian restaurant who fixed us lobster for our 1st anniversary--- for lunch. I had to work that night. :-/

4:18 pm

But our friend made it into a very nice lunch meal!

4:19 pm

Oh nef, so remember the days I worked nights and hubby swings. We passed in the hallway. Seems like forever ago now.

4:19 pm

That's a very interesting idea, cross. How did you come up with that?

4:19 pm

now i want lobster. or crab. or to go to dinner with nef :)

4:19 pm

Now welki, they must be alone together! LOL

4:20 pm

sorry, welki. You aren't invited!

4:20 pm

my daughter just transferred to the picu - and has switched to nights. it's a hard transition

4:21 pm

I worked over 35 years of evenings or nights. I never was a morning person. Now that I'm retired, I find I get up at 7 AM though!

4:24 pm

we just made it up, nef. seemed to help.. well except for in one case. we had horse we were boarding for someone else. They were to train it, feed it and exercise it, we just boarded it. Problem was that this particular horse, for whatever reason, liked to try and bite people.

4:25 pm

Hello dear crossy!

4:25 pm

((jilly))

4:25 pm

so what did you call that horse, cross?

4:25 pm

I intend to avoid nightshift! I did it a few years ago when training nurses on new med documentation program. Took weeks to feel right again.

4:26 pm

<---like a wolfie baconator hug!

4:26 pm

oh, the horse? his name was Chomper

4:27 pm

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!!

4:27 pm

In ancient Rome, when a man testified in court he would swear on his testicles.

4:28 pm

.. and if they were caught lying, the would lose them

4:29 pm

Yikes.

4:30 pm

the romans of the old times used to have so much fun:)

4:30 pm

Ah, nowadays there would be a lot of sackless wonders walking around if that were the case

4:30 pm

Just nodded off a bit; I think I'll take a quick nap now. BBL! Haapy babbling Everyone!

4:32 pm

lol, everyone sitting in parliament in Ottawa would be sans sack.

4:33 pm

Have a great dinner nef and congrats again

4:37 pm

crossy, I think that should happen if a man is convicted of rape, child molesting, forcing women into prostitution.

4:38 pm

in many countries, people are given the choice of jail time or chemical castration

4:38 pm

Every member of Congress in the US would be in the same bind!!

4:39 pm

lol,snags

4:39 pm

chemical castration?? how does that work LL

4:39 pm

google it. it is a bit in depth to post here

4:40 pm

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww and I thought you might have the short version!!! :)

4:40 pm

here is a short medical version...

4:40 pm

The treatment of men with paraphilia with methoxyprogesterone acetate, which inhibits gonadotropin secretion, thereby reducing sexual drives

4:40 pm

I can remember how my father killed a chicken for dinner.

4:41 pm

that is how that should be preformed.

4:41 pm

just pick up the testicles, and swipe a shape knife across............... yikes

4:41 pm

thanks crossy.

4:41 pm

there ya go:)

4:42 pm

4:42 pm

4:43 pm

space

4:43 pm

4:43 pm

4:44 pm

I usually start yammering away when I am at a babble roadblock;)

4:44 pm

4:44 pm

<----!!FW!!

4:44 pm

Ha Ha haa. I just logged on, had a quick look at the chog, and saw it descending from happy wedding anniversary chat to castration! Story of life, I guess.

Yes. Do not adjust your sets. Eldest of 15!

My condolences Soodle.

{{soodle}}

6:13 pm

Thanks mab n Ruby. I'm a bit befuzzled at the moment, but weirdly, I''

6:14 pm

I'm finding comfort in finding words in the grid. Maybe I'm Babble-Dependant!

6:15 pm

words and friends, that's what this site is for

6:16 pm

Sending condolences to Soodle(hugs)15...Wow!

6:17 pm

Hi Ruby, you're up late:)

6:17 pm

6:18 pm

I know my grand pa6s had up to 11, but not many with us now, sadly

6:18 pm

Any progress in your difficulties, Rubes?

6:18 pm

I hope it's not bad things keeping you up Ruby

6:19 pm

no, it's worse, but i'm getting adjusted to it and feeling better with spring and all

6:19 pm

And, Hi Lil!

6:19 pm

and, as my banker said, there's nothing I can do now, anyway

6:19 pm

Seriously? Stuff got worse???

6:20 pm

((ruby))

6:20 pm

I have a meeting net week which may help, but I don't think it will

6:21 pm

every month the number increases. It's like a bad joke

6:21 pm

I don't know wht is going on with you Ruby but i hope all goes well with you and sending hopeful hugs your way

6:21 pm

RUBYFOO! Think positive. If I may quote MollyL..... Thoughts become things....

6:22 pm

thank you lilliann, you can't imagine how wonderful the babblers have been to me

6:22 pm

ditto to what lilliann said, rubyfoo. Sending light and peace and hugs out to you.

6:23 pm

and my new "exercise regime" (walking Miss Crazy-ead puppy) is making me feel stronger. It's as brisk 20 minute walk every day, getting my lazy butt off the couch

6:24 pm

a nice bit of exercise helps many things

6:24 pm

Every cloud,Rubes, every cloud.....

6:24 pm

hello hello! off work! 10 glorious days off.. 5 of them paid!

6:24 pm

howdy cosdem:) good stuff with the half paid for vacation:)

6:25 pm

well i get paid for next week mon-fri.. so its a full week pay

6:25 pm

i go back to work a week from tuesday :) itts gonna be so nice

6:26 pm

The English clouds are arriving tonight, so our glorious Spring weather will probably end. But the flowers are out and the trees are budding Things look much brighter than 3 months ago

6:26 pm

Good for you Ruby.i can do that, but that's about it! the bairn keeps moaning how computor illiterate i am:)

6:26 pm

Ah, Cos! Would you be able to take a look at my leaky roof, clean my windows, repair the dodgy tap in the bathroom, fix the squeaky kitchen door.....

6:27 pm

Enjoy your time off Cos:)

6:27 pm

uhh sure! if u pay for my airfare? :)

6:27 pm

my son is an "expert" and he gets so impatient with my shortcomings, that he can't teach me anything. But at least he's in regular touch again, so that's a good thing

6:27 pm

I shall lilli. I am going to do nothing but sit at home and enjoy cable

6:28 pm

That's good to hear a Ruby:)

6:28 pm

Good for you Cos:)

6:28 pm

6:28 pm

(ost those m's)

6:29 pm

Soodle, hubby should be in ireland in about 2 weeks with a tour, i'll get him to pop by and do your jobs for you...

6:29 pm

pryer

6:29 pm

Uh right. The roof will continue to leak, the tap will still drip & the door, sadly, will continue to creak. Boo hoo.

6:29 pm

uh oh, that's my signal to go to sleep. Sorry folks

6:30 pm

I think that with houses, every day, there's something else

6:30 pm

but I still love this pretty place, even with peeling wallpaper

6:30 pm

np Ruby, the bairn got me that word earlier:)

6:30 pm

Rubes..... I would move heaven and earth to give you a hand with your probs. i'll call you during the week. Ok?

6:31 pm

uh oh. just noticed my wedding ring is not on my finger

6:31 pm

yes,s that would be lovely. I'm having my final meeting with notary etc on Tuesday, so after that would be good

6:31 pm

Soodle, i was waiting for you to say 'yay, great' and i was going to say mmm, forget it as i'm still waiting for things to be done...:)

6:32 pm

Oh dear Cos!!

6:32 pm

I would rather fix a leaky roof than sort piles of paper////1

6:32 pm

good thing it was a cheap one from walmart lol..

6:32 pm

Yay Great. Yea Great . Yea Great!!!!! Lol Lil

6:33 pm

Did you lose it, Cos? I lost mine for about 6 months but the housekeeper found it when she cleaned the washing machine, so I was lucly

6:34 pm

well, hopefully you can get another cheap one the same then Cos

6:34 pm

I hardly ever wear mine, afraid I'll lose it again

6:34 pm

the last time i looked at it was 11am and i have been to 7 different buildings at work, a mcdonalds, a walmart, my car, and my house since then :(

6:34 pm

I'm probably going to sell my jewelry rather than leave it to my dil

6:35 pm

oh and my truck too ugh

6:35 pm

not to mention all the parking lots, and 7-11 as well. il just get us a new pair tomorrow

6:35 pm

everything silver, I'll leave to my friend Cathy but she things the rest of it is vulgar and makes me look like a "sapin noel"

6:36 pm

gyre

6:36 pm

u can give them to me ruby ill take good care of them :-D

6:37 pm

i can't get mine over the knuckle as it has got bigger with arthritis...as long as i don't need to get my rings cut off like i did my last ring which i wore before the bairn was born and then because of pre-eclampsia it had to be cut off, sadly, but she's 14 now so i don't care about the ring, she's more important

6:37 pm

are your ears pierced? I have some horrible yellow diamond drop ones. DH meant well, but they are not my style lol

6:37 pm

my M.I.L lost her entire wedding set that she wore when she was married in 1955. She claimed it on her insurance and it was replaced with modern day copies. Sadly the originals added up to almost 10K of diamonds on the market today and she did not get that much... then one day 5 years later, her floor drain in her laundry area backed up. they pulled off the cover plate, and sent in a plumbers snake to break the clog and the plumber pulled out a massive pet/ human hair ball on the end of his plumbers snake and found the entire wedding set in it.

6:37 pm

If he's passing soodle, i'll let you know...he can fix taps:)

6:38 pm

Lil. I had pre- eclampsia with my first. Horrible dose!

6:38 pm

ignorantly, I don't know what that is

6:39 pm

rosy, did she give the settlement back and thee ersatz rings\\\\\?

6:39 pm

Maybe if I put the light on, I wouldn't bemaking all these typos

6:39 pm

no, she did not. when she passed two years ago, both sets were in her jewellery case

6:40 pm

Aye, it isn't good Soodle but atleast we have them, even when we moan about them, we wouldn't be without them

6:40 pm

I guess i'll ave to google it.....

6:41 pm

terd

6:41 pm

terd

6:41 pm

ugh my finger feels so naked.

6:41 pm

tord

6:41 pm

49 words left and the grid is fighting me

6:41 pm

Omg Crossy.That was lucky

6:41 pm

it was indeed, lillian

6:41 pm

cover it up, we're blushing

6:42 pm

lol ;-)

6:42 pm

ooh if im here i may as well do the grid eh?

6:42 pm

I have already had my wedding rig resized once, am afraid to do it again, besides, arthritis has swollen my knuckles as well. I am better off just wearing it on a chain now.

6:43 pm

big hug for all you late-night sweetie

6:43 pm

ring*

6:43 pm

sweeties (so many of you}

6:43 pm

6:43 pm

FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!!

6:43 pm

only 7:45 pm here

6:44 pm

yaaa for godthaab!

6:44 pm

*woof*

6:44 pm

Funny how your priorities change over the years. When I got engaged, I got a two carat diamond ring. I spent 3 months admiring it om my finger. After the marraige broke up, I noticed the diamond was missing out of the ring. I didn't even look for it. I just said, maybzll the bad luck go with it'.

6:44 pm

arrrooooo!

6:44 pm

Ruby, pre-eclampsia is when the mam gets high blood pressure, headaches,blood in urine fingers,feet and ankles swell and then can be serious for the mam and baby

6:45 pm

just a rock, soodles, besides, they say you better go for emeralds now. diamonds are waning in popularity

6:45 pm

what causes it?

6:45 pm

I hope you can find it Cos:0

6:46 pm

then I had better sell mine fast!

6:46 pm

Wtg Godthaab!!:)

6:46 pm

I think a trip to Geneva is in order!

6:46 pm

better off selling your diamond and picking up some spot gold certificates

6:46 pm

I prefer coloured stones to diamonds

6:47 pm

or a bunch of one oz and 5oz wafers

6:47 pm

my diamonds are yellow

6:48 pm

I never thought I'd actually say this, but ....diamonds really ARE a gal's best friend. A

6:48 pm

What I would have liked was antique pave diaons and onyx set I platinum, not thi clunky modern stuff

6:48 pm

onyx can be nice if done up right and cats eye as well

6:48 pm

"round square or pear-shaped, those diamons don't lose their shape"

6:49 pm

a kiss on the lips may be quite contintental.....

6:49 pm

I think I could live off them for a yer or two

6:49 pm

my beloved first(and sadly lost) engadgement ring was a star sapphire

6:49 pm

how about "if a Harris pat eans a Paris hat"

6:50 pm

was set in white gold;(

6:50 pm

was a bummer man:(

6:51 pm

"men grow cold as girls grow old, but we all loose our charms in the end"

6:51 pm

lose*

6:51 pm

Ruby, it can be because of toxins int he body,substances from the placenta,and high blood pressure.i was told that lots of first time mams' suffer from it.the bairn was brought 3 weeks early because of high blood pressure, joints swelling and headaches but before that i had a great pregnancy

6:52 pm

lol, I asked my beloved if she was willing to carry on with me and we could fall apart together

6:52 pm

Noodling off to bed now, thinking I'm Marilyn .... Pouting at the dog, who is just wagging her tail.

6:53 pm

that's really interesting. I was so young and so busy when I was pregs, that \I never thought about anything 00 drank coffee and booze and stayed skinny throughout but, miraculously, had a big beasutiful healthy babe

6:53 pm

I love rubies and my first engagement ring was a saphire

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

7:11 pm

I wish you could too Mimi, it has got really cold here the last couple of days even with the sun and very windy

7:11 pm

Would gladly trade...with the heat outside and my heat from hormone hell inside, I may go up in spontaneous human combustion!

7:11 pm

(MIMI) :D

7:12 pm

was stuck in the grid just saw you :)

7:12 pm

Where have you been, smores? I read a bit last time I saw you here..computer problems? I sent you an em but guess that's why I didn't hear back. Good to see you.

7:13 pm

7:13 pm

Do you have a fan Mimi.i have one that goes all the toime i'm in bed, even when i'm dizzy or have pressure in head and spend alot of time in the day lying down my fan is going...early menopause didn't help!!

7:15 pm

Yay, Liz!

7:15 pm

ty - any clues before I head out?

7:16 pm

poor mimi:(

7:16 pm

Mine does that Mimi and when hubby is here he throws the duvet over his head even though he gets hot...

7:16 pm

I need a clue...but it has nothing to do with the grid!

7:16 pm

nah...I'm just barely past the halfway mark

7:16 pm

I can Mimi

7:16 pm

not for me, liz, I still have to work this thing for a bit yet

7:16 pm

LOL...Mimi

7:16 pm

Crossy, issues like this is how I know God is NOT female!

7:17 pm

I still need 78, but ty anyway Liz...lovely to see you as usual:)

7:17 pm

Ooops--tense wrong..are how I know!

7:17 pm

OK - well, enjoy your evenings all. Fun grid - a few odd words though. Catch you soon and if I don't see you before your test, Crossy, you go and show all those youngsters how it's done!!!!

7:17 pm

but we get the opposite here, mimi. after November first, my beloved is frozen all the time and does not really get warm again until june:(

7:18 pm

thanks... Liz...enjoy your day

7:18 pm

I love it when us "old gaffers" make the kids give us funny looks when the papers are handed back and we have destroyed the grading curve for the class

7:18 pm

Night Liz or Morning i should say. tc hin

7:18 pm

I couldn't even enjoy the big grid yesterday...had too much work to do. Started at 5:30 am and didn't complete finish until 8 last night...whew!

7:19 pm

busy girl

7:19 pm

wow...that's a long day...everything going well?

7:19 pm

$$$$$!

7:20 pm

Yes, smores, work is great...but have just ended long friendship and it was pretty ugly from her side for awhile. I took the high road, though.

7:21 pm

glad to hear work is going well...sorry about the fiend

7:21 pm

*friend

7:21 pm

it is tough,mimi, but if a relationship, anyrelationship makes you unhappy and is poisoning your life, it is best to end it.

7:21 pm

You may have been right the first time, smores!

7:21 pm

Sorry to hear that Mimi

7:22 pm

lol...subconscience typos

7:22 pm

Some friends seem to be friends and then tend to show their true colours and aren't who you thought theywere in the first place

7:22 pm

I want peace at this point in my life and she was causing too much stress...too much energy going out to her and much too little coming back. Also, lies and attempted manipulation on her part...don't need it.

7:26 pm

She was my "best" friend for 44 years...but there were always issues and I let them go...just can't do it anymore, especially since she was hitting me up for money every time I turned around. I've sent her $400 since August...and I'm not exactly rich.

7:26 pm

I stopped sending it when I found out she was lying about why she needed it...can't abide that.

7:27 pm

then you made a good descision

7:27 pm

I must really be stupid...finding out she has been lying and found out recently my ex-husband lied to me a lot...never though of myself as stupid, but guess I was wrong.

7:27 pm

so sorry Mimi...

7:28 pm

choosing and staying friends is hard...relationships are hard, knowing how to bring up bairns' are hard, choosing pets are hard......Life is hard!! if only we had a manual for everything and even then it can't tell us how to be us or how to use our hearts...we have to follow our own head's, heart and soul

7:28 pm

see...I can't even spell thought!

7:28 pm

doesn't make you stupid to think people are being honest with you

7:29 pm

Yep---life is hard..then you die.

7:29 pm

Sorry for that, i got ...i can't think of the word now...

7:29 pm

Maybe gullible is a better word?

7:29 pm

Popping in to say Hi while working and Babbling.. LIFE - it's a 4 letter word.

7:29 pm

they're the stupid ones to throw away a good thing

7:30 pm

So is LOVE, Cad....oh, no...I'm not bitter...

7:30 pm

howdy cad fan

7:30 pm

Thanks, smores...at this point I do think it's their loss...it certainly isn't mine. At least I can look at myself in the mirror with a clear conscience.

7:31 pm

Sorry to hear about you best friend...she obviously was just using you and you're better off without her

7:32 pm

Mimi, you're not stupid!!

7:32 pm

She did many things early on and I gave her another chance. For example, when I was 18 and in the hospital losing my boyfriend's baby and nearly dying...she was screwing him!

7:33 pm

eeekkk

7:33 pm

OMG...and she was your friend for 44 years? did you know early on?

7:33 pm

Yes...I stopped speaking to her for months but she kept begging and I eventually gave in...I'm much tougher now...have to be.

7:34 pm

I would have punched her the face!!

7:34 pm

OK...this is much too much about me, so I'm going to go make dinner and give someone else a chance. Thanks for the support, everyone...it's so comforting have friends here...you are the best! Hugs all around.

7:35 pm

Oh, yeah...she was also my roommate during that time.

7:35 pm

It's all in the book...if I EVER finish it!

7:35 pm

wonderful to see you Mimi...I'll try to get a email to you tomorrow...take care and enjoy your dinner

7:35 pm

((smores))

7:36 pm

Well, i'm glad you are tougher now and probably because of it it made you who you are now, so i'm pleased to meet you Mimi:) I can't wait for your book and i will get the bairn to email you about your animal stories...sod her, i must email you to hear about any story:) Hugs hin and tc

7:37 pm

Any time, lilliann..big hug...poof!

7:39 pm

100 found gonna take a short break...back in a bit

u?

8:10 pm

pretty good. off for the weekend, which is nice

8:11 pm

Jes, i'm glad you'r here as i'm looking for a cat from a shelter but i already have a cat and i thought she wouldn't like another cat but next door adopted a kitten and we had her for half an hour and she loved her and since then my cat seems to be miserable

8:11 pm

Yay, enjoy

8:13 pm

most rescues will let you try a new animal for a week or so, to see if they work out okay.

8:15 pm

My cat is from a shelter and had kittens before that and we had a male cat when we got her and she came and had a go at him and he was so soft hearted that he backed down but she is the same and i think she did it so he wouldn't start on her(even though he wouldn't0 and after that my male cat would take a long walk around her and she wanted his attention

8:16 pm

Here, they come and check out your house and cat if you already have one and see if they are healthy

8:20 pm

i'll ask the shelters but they don't normally do that here.ty Jes and sorry for asking when it is your time off

8:26 pm

no worries, good luck finding a perfect kitty :)

8:32 pm

Ty :)

8:41 pm

we have a new kitty

8:41 pm

3 cats and 1 dog now

8:41 pm

he appeared on our deck last week and kept coming back. so we let him inside and he bonded with our cats and dog immediately and wont leave. so we kept him. vet trip tomorrow

8:44 pm

nice :)

8:44 pm

Yay for you Cos..that was like the kitty next door.it kept turning up outside their door and i fed it and it met my cat and then they took it it and they tried to find out where it came from and they phoned up the nearest shelter to take it and they were full

8:47 pm

meanwhile, the bairn and i were trying to talk my husband around, so we could have it, but my next door neighbours found out that the people who had her before had a baby who was allergic to the fur so they kept her outside all the time, and she wasn't neutured and only 4 months old.

8:48 pm

firewords! tx all cluers

8:48 pm

yay dan!

8:48 pm

and they decided to keep her.i'm going for a cuddle as soon as i finish here

8:48 pm

evening all

8:48 pm

Wtg Dab

8:48 pm

*Dan:)

8:50 pm

I missed a ton of plurals before listing - hate that

8:52 pm

We all do it :)

9:04 pm

hi again :)

9:06 pm

WB Smores

9:15 pm

I have returned.

9:16 pm

Wb Cos, i was just about to say, i think i frighten people off

9:16 pm

oh no dont be ridiculous!

9:16 pm

Did you find your ring?

9:17 pm

H's done sans lisdt!

9:17 pm

no i did not :( i told ryan hes like aww thats ok they're crappy rings we'll get new ones tomorrow at walmart lol

9:17 pm

how romantic.. not.

9:19 pm

lol..but i would take him to an expensive jeweller and choose rings, not buy them but it might shut him up :)

9:20 pm

At the end of the day when 2 people love eachother it doesn't matter if it's a coke pull ring!!:)

9:22 pm

lol right. we cant afford anything fancy schamncy

9:22 pm

we're in the process of opening our own store
