An unusual little grid?

bbiab xx

2:46 am

morning son. hey ya rbud

2:55 am

Hello Mum xxxx

3:01 am

I don't much care for this grid - and I refuse to believe there's a 10 letter word!

3:03 am

aww son, the 10 is so easy. start with en8, to place in a position of strength, then past tense it

3:04 am

right-o Mum - gimme a few hours to guess the en8 & i should be right on it!! lol xx How are you this fine morning? (Well I say fine, it's sunny but very frosty!)

3:04 am

to say someone is en10, is to say they are up to their chins in it.

3:05 am

*giggle* love, had hydro this am. allowed myself one strong pain med. this afternoon. it's not too bad.

3:07 am

en10, usually used...someone is deeply en10 in something. core of word is tr6, like a ditch. soldiers dig them to fight from.

3:07 am

((((hugs)))) sending you a big kiss and hugs from across the pond xx - as for the en8 and en10 i could be a while - just woken up and me brain's not followed suit lol

3:07 am

yay go me! I got the en8 and en10 - thanks Mum xx

3:17 am

Hi all :)

3:18 am

hey ya liz. have you had a good day, hun?

3:18 am

eeek - the weatherman says the current temperature in north Scotland is -5 !!! (23 for those on the continent!)

3:18 am

OK - and you?

3:18 am

Yuck, worz - stay away from Scotland. it's supposed to be spring!

3:19 am

No, I don't suppose it will Mum - but I am still undressed and in bed so going outdoors like this would be a bit mad!! x

3:19 am

good thanx, liz. had hydro this am which was full on. and son?? you aren't in scotland dear.

3:19 am

Good morning Liz xx

3:20 am

Don't like this grid :(

3:20 am

awww, bet you would get a lot of discounts if you went out now...dressed like that...roflol

3:20 am

Good to see you've now got a flag, worz x

3:20 am

No but I'm only about 2hours drive from Scotland - we have such a small country that at this time of morning the temperatures across the nation are pretty much the same, usually. The nearest temperature to us that they showed was -2 so I think I'll stay here and yap to you lot - until Diane forces me to go shopping lol x

3:20 am

I'd get lots of laughs, don't know about discounts!

3:21 am

in fact, they would probably pay you to leave the shop...

3:21 am

Interesting way of making money.

3:21 am

Yes Liz, I've finally been upgraded, thanks to a certain wonderful person xx

3:22 am

Happy about that :)

6:40 am

6:41 am

6:41 am

down to 18 and don't want to list yet

6:41 am

good job, aloy

6:41 am

good luck on your exam, crossy.. bet you will ace it

6:42 am

ty, alloy:)

6:42 am

sorry, crossy, I was making a lame joke....

6:42 am

brb, refill time

6:42 am

I will send you some of my new grey hairs.. lol

6:42 am

after a warm, spring-like month, it is snowing lightly and very cold and miserable

6:43 am

minus 16c here last I looked

6:43 am

but I shouldn't complain, at least there are a lot of flowers already: forsythia, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, alyssum and primroses

6:44 am

as long as we don't get a hard freeze, all will be fine

6:44 am

I have a yard full of flowers and a pear tree in full bloom . . . and tomorrow nite it's going down to 23 which means a hard freeze . . . crap

6:44 am

i actually do not bother looking at the temperature overmuch, at least until enough ice falls off the windows to be able to actually look outside!

6:45 am

will you lose the nascent pears, une?

6:45 am

doesn't bear fruit, but the sad thing is that all the lovely white blooms will turn brown overnite :-(

6:45 am

Hi Une

6:45 am

crossy chats with the pet penguins on the patio.. they understand..lol

6:45 am

howdy, annie :-)

6:46 am

one year the fig tree got hit with a hard frost and I thought it was a goner, but even though the branches all had dead tips, it is still alive. No figs for 2 years, though. They form and fall off without ripening, twice a year

6:46 am

crossy LOL

6:46 am

have already cut lots of daffodils -- will be madly cutting vases full and bringing into garage later today!

6:46 am

I planted a pear tree the first year, but it never got a single pear and had "rouille", had to be tossed

6:47 am

know what I want? Fresh plums off a tree. Been decades and i can still remember them.

6:47 am

I can't seem to get past 50 words in this grid

6:47 am

if you take left-over soda bread from St. Patty's day, zap it in the mw and smear it with strawberry jam, it is delicious.. passing some around

6:48 am

Last year, because spring was so cool, I didn't have any. This year, maybe.

6:48 am

mm ,ty aloy

6:48 am

had a fruit-bearing pear tree for several years and finally gave up -- fruit formed but either dropped off before ripening or got munched by birds LOL

6:48 am

sounds delish, aloy :-)

6:48 am

the few times I've had figs, I've often shared them with birds

6:48 am

hi Une.. we planted pear trees in Ohio, but the deer ate the baby bark and they all perished

6:49 am

Pearished, ugh

6:49 am

ag 4/6- who remembers playing marbles as a child and those big ones we used to call "croakers" but are also known as ag4,s

6:49 am

I'll never forget the fabulous figs I ate in Provence -- even ate outside and had yummy ripe figs dropping onto the table :-)

6:50 am

was a regular marble player, ty crossy

6:50 am

:)

6:50 am

off to feed the pups -- back in a bit

6:50 am

what thrives here no matter what kind of spring, are red and black currants, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. Also tomatoes. It is not such a big property so there's one of this, one of that with the trees The Quince, too, is problematical. Most years the fruit rots and falls off, but the blossoms are gorgeous

6:51 am

would dig the hole with the heel of your sneaker, then draw the magic circle around it at the perfect distance, which was usually the exact length of a shoe lace

6:52 am

the figs are better in the market, but picking them off my own tree is special

6:52 am

do you get gooseberries, ruby?

6:53 am

i will gladly offer a free week of crossy breakfasts for a single pint jar of home made gooseberry jam!

6:53 am

no and can't find them or mulberries in the garden store. The word for mulberries seems to be the same as for blackberries.....

6:54 am

I can send you blackberry jam.....would happily share

6:54 am

sigh.. no ty.. crossy goes off and sulks....

6:57 am

cr 5/14 a vinegar bottle

7:00 am

{{crossy}} do gooseberries grow on a vine or a tree?

7:01 am

ch5.16 means the same thing as he4.6 - a Hebrew letter, learned something as ch5 is a newbie for me

7:02 am

ty, alloy, now I have 61 words and it's NY|T in front of the fire

7:02 am

they grow on a bush, ruby

7:03 am

stay warm and cozy, ruby

7:03 am

will look for them if I can find the word when I go and buy plants in 2 wks

It is -25 C here this morning!

7:03 am

that is too cold, cat!

7:03 am

hi freckled.. too cold!

7:04 am

snap, aloy

7:06 am

what is 25C in fahrenheit?

7:08 am

8:56 am

'Bye hego.

8:57 am

Bye Jac. Good to see you here. :)

jacs!

9:03 am

Hi TO.

nice to see you.

9:03 am

hi, all (did it work, owl?)

9:05 am

Sorry to cut and run but my jobs won't do themselves. Happy Babbling all. x

ty. it brought up a toolbar but that is all. i keep opening new tabs because and using google because i can no longer type in a web address nor see one

9:06 am

even when you tried to restore the default toolbars?

9:07 am

only other thing i can suggest is to try holding F10 to see if it'll restore your address bar - after that, maybe uninstall/reinstall firefox?

did not try that. never had a toolbar,

9:07 am

an address bar is a toolbar :)

got it, ty! wonder ho i lost it in the frist lace.

oh, you know what i mean. i need to take advantae of this frigid but sunny day to run errends before the snow.

9:09 am

i sometimes press something up on the top of my screen that does it

9:10 am

enjoy the running around - more snow? (yuck) hey, made my first visit to trader joe's - really liked it

appreciate the help. apropos of nothing, i saw an article on yahoo today with cleaning tips. one of them was to clean the tub with vodka. talk about rotgut.

ooh, what did you get and is it ok to bring food home with you?

9:11 am

streaky windows/mirrors? vodka or gin :)

what a waste

9:12 am

picked some things up for the kids there - only thing i brought home was a white canvas tote with their logo on it (and have already used it) - i think if there was one here (and the prices were the same), i'd go there all the time

aww, heart your icon.

9:12 am

i didn't find them expensive - but food in your neck of the woods is LOTS cheaper than up here

i buy their oatmeal, and nuts. used to buy cherry jam but they changed it. longing for some michigan sour cherry jam.

the oatmeal is much superior to quaker. and even better is to mix half oatmeal with half of their whole grain hot cereal.

9:14 am

they changed our prediction from major snow to little to no accumulation.

and their flowers!

9:15 am

i did buy flowers :)

:) BTW, passport arrived! if you find a festival, let me know!

9:17 am

you should come up just to see if it works :)

mixi, that is good, i dont know what wer are getting and I don;t care. i am having the tile man in and getting here will be his problem. :)

oooh, do not tempt me!!! i will ome with an empty suitcase and fill it with boots!

9:18 am

what are you tiling?

retiling where grout fell out

9:25 am

fw. must go take shower before company coming and 1/2 hour. poof.

bye mixi

9:30 am

9:32 am

It's fine. I can be a ray of sunshine to the residents...

bless you, yes you can.

9:34 am

I had one resident who was on the toilet and needed assistance to get off, look at me in my purple scrubs and say, "You are a nurse" I replied, "Yes I am." She said, "You shouldn't be doing this!" I told her that she had a need and I was there so why shouldn't I fill that need.

Many thanks for the clues though, Doseffing & Kje :-)

12:25 pm

down to 20, but soooo slow

12:25 pm

listing

12:27 pm

... it's slow with listing too

12:28 pm

prob, but maybe there are some obvious ones I've missed

12:29 pm

I think i might list too

12:29 pm

unerected

12:29 pm

plus, these points are helping on the weird ones... at least I know where to monkey

12:32 pm

As a newbie I'd like to know what" listing"means.

12:33 pm

... once you get stuck ... if you click on lickety's babble clues at the bottom ... you'll find all the first two letter combinations

12:33 pm

look below grid - lickety's babble clues link

12:34 pm

Hello, Freckledcat...If you look to where it says friends of babble....there is a link to click on..it is called lickety's babble clues.

12:34 pm

Oh so you look to see what the second letter etc .

12:34 pm

ok, yes, there were a couple I should have seen!

12:35 pm

... your choice of if you list ... or when ... and how much ... when i started I usually listed at about 50% ... now I'm up to about 75% and usually try for more than 80% ... but I now of people who religously refuse to list

12:35 pm

I guess you try to get all the words you can before listing

12:36 pm

And welcome to babble by the way, Freckledcat :-)

12:36 pm

everyone uses it differently - some use the list right away, some when they are stumped, others have a preset % or number, others never - no shame whichever you want

12:37 pm

I have used it some and found it helpful. I also like the clues that you all share. thank you.

12:37 pm

There are the few elite players who don't seem to need the list...I am not one of them :-)

12:38 pm

Thanks for the info. I love the game but MUST control it!

12:38 pm

uno

12:38 pm

... good luck with that

12:39 pm

FW

12:39 pm

Congrats, Kje!

12:39 pm

ok, can clue very briefly if needed before I poof

12:40 pm

I am taking a break now..but thanks, Kje!

12:40 pm

One more question. Do you just look at the list or do you actually put the letters in? And then what?

12:41 pm

... you can put them in the list and then transfer them all at once ... some do ... I don't ...

12:41 pm

look to the bottom, freck - there is a place to cut and paste and add...

12:42 pm

if on a PC, there is a way to automatic update list to grid and vice versa... lickety babble expert... I'm on a Mac so I don't use it

12:42 pm

someone can give you the link though

12:43 pm

Oh I see. I may have to practice that since I'm not that great on the computer!

12:44 pm

I am learning!

12:45 pm

Bubble wrap would be good. I've forbidden him from going out unsupervised forever!

1:04 pm

It's waterproof and holds in body heat while protecting vital organs.

1:05 pm

1:05 pm

Maybe you could get him one of those I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP emergency buttons too.

1:05 pm

doesnt do much good if its popped though

1:05 pm

that would be a good idea

1:05 pm

Too late then.

1:05 pm

Nah. He's got a cell phone. Dial or die.

I am a Taurus, and as such I am always right:.. and not stubborn!

1:39 pm

1:40 pm

Hi, hego and crossy. How are you today?

1:40 pm

biab

1:40 pm

Hi Nef

1:41 pm

And crossy, Taurus's aren't always right, but we are too stubborn!

1:41 pm

It's different for the males,ef.

1:41 pm

Nef

1:42 pm

different? I've never heard that before.....

1:43 pm

just kidding

1:45 pm

:-) How are you today? We have cloudy and clod here again today, we *might* hit 30 degrees (F) if we're lucky

1:45 pm

40 but getting colder.

1:52 pm

(Why is it every time I sit down at the computer DH must come and give me some sort of piddley job or task to do? HE can play games on His computer, but *I* am not allowed to relax?)

1:53 pm

NOT fair!

1:55 pm

*I* don't think so either! It gets really OLD somedays, you know? THE GRANDSON IS IN PRESCHOOL RIGHT NOW, SO THOUGHT I COULD COME AND RELAX FOR AN HOUR. NO, DH WANTS ME TO DROP EVERYTHING AND GO TAKE SOME OLD ELECTRONICS TO BEST BUY "NOW" TO GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE! (I SAID NO!)

1:55 pm

ok here I go not much time need to go outside it is too nice to stay inside

1:56 pm

Good for you Nef

1:56 pm

is that hello or good bye?

1:56 pm

Ooops, sorry for yelling.

1:57 pm

hi Nicki and Molly

1:57 pm

good for you is right.

1:58 pm

Does anyone else ever have that problem? Where their spouse doesn't like to see them relax online?

1:59 pm

oh ...yes! Thanks god he goes to work so I can do the important stuff!

1:59 pm

It sounds like a boundaries issue to me Nef. He needs to understand when you are doing your "relaxing" things, that is not the time to bug you to do errands.

1:59 pm

No, but some spouses are like little kids and hate to be ignored.

2:00 pm

chet

2:00 pm

Male spouses in particular.

2:01 pm

Well, I think part of it is he can't drive at this point again; the last time he drove (about 2 months ago) he put a huge dent and rip in the back bumper; so he knows he's not able to do some of this stuff himself.

2:02 pm

Husbands!!! Nuf (nef) said.

2:02 pm

Understood Nef. That doesn't mean you have to be his errand girl when you are trying to take a break.

2:02 pm

Hi rubes!!

2:03 pm

Hello Hego. Molly is right, Nef, you need your own time to relax

2:03 pm

Yes, Molly, I was trying to be pc, but it is mostly male spouses.

2:03 pm

the funny thing is that the scanner has been here over 20 years; never bothered him before, but NOW that he can't drive; it's got to go! <shakes head>

2:05 pm

At least he took NO for an answer; but it just boggles my mind that he does this!

2:07 pm

okay, so I'm done complaining for the day. How's things going for you guys?

2:08 pm

Glad you vented.

2:09 pm

:-) yeah; but it's so much better to be done venting too.

2:10 pm

yes

2:15 pm

okay, how are you guys doing with this grid? I'm having trouble getting to NBS thus far

2:15 pm

It's prickly

2:16 pm

okay, then it isn't just me?

hi all, my phantom is creche, i have 41 words and running into trouble already

2:16 pm

Hi Gwen

2:16 pm

Hi Gwen

still need 2 more squares to get to nbt

2:18 pm

must go. bbl

2:18 pm

good to know. I thought I was really slow today; now I can blame the grid! :-)

always blame the grid! LOL

2:20 pm

I try not to because so many times if I quit and come back later, I see tons of words after having sat here staring at no words at all.

nbt finally, woot

2:26 pm

WTG, Gwen!

2:26 pm

(how many words did it take?)

2:26 pm

what does nbt mean?

2:26 pm

the G's and te's - 34 to go

2:27 pm

julia, NBT means no Blank Tiles (there's at least 1 word for every tile)

2:28 pm

NBS means No blank Stats (every word length is covered

well, i have 58 words, i only found one since i got nbt

(i usually don't bother trying to get nbs on my one, since i almost never can find the long words on my onw, and today there's a 10) (!)

2:30 pm

Yuk, it is tough, isn't it?

i'm going to assume the 10 is a compound, and hunt for it for a few minutes before i give up LOL

2:32 pm

the 10 is a pt of en8 - think wartime foxholes

2:33 pm

tks ursh

2:33 pm

this is one of those grids where I want to rearrange some letters on it. Iused to say that almost all the time; but haven't thought that for years. However, this grid stinks

okay, ursh, hunting . . .

2:33 pm

thanks rush!

2:34 pm

sorry, another spellcheck error, ursh.

2:35 pm

haha nef somehow the name rush suits :)

found it, woot, woot! thanks ursh

2:36 pm

thanks ursh!

2:37 pm

well, yesterday I FINALLY learned how to make spellcheck learn new words, so, hopefully, in the future I should have your name spelled right now ursh

2:38 pm

under tile stats, some say 0/0. does that mean that there are no words that use that tile?

2:38 pm

thant's right julia. That's why those letters are already blacked out

2:38 pm

thanks. it's my first time :)

2:39 pm

hi everyone

2:39 pm

And it was welki who taught me how to train Spellcheck! :-)

welcome, juliamo, and good for you, nef!

2:40 pm

Morning all

juliamo, you should be warned, this game is very addictive! LOL

2:41 pm

julia, if you have questions; I always refer people to the Help page (right above chat) and also AngelSongs Babble Page (under the Tile stats at the bottom

2:41 pm

you already knew how to do it, nef, just couldn't find the menu item

2:41 pm

hi lynxxx

2:42 pm

nope, ursh, but i'll hunt for it now

2:43 pm

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

28 to go, gonna say bye bye for now. bye bye for now. *poink*

2:47 pm

2:48 pm

Oh the drama in the chat!!!!!

2:49 pm

2:51 pm

..I yearned.. I pined..I ached for you...ie drama..A joke lynn..it is a joke...

2:51 pm

Days Of Our Babble Lives

2:52 pm

As my tile turns

2:52 pm

well, it got the point across

2:52 pm

The Gridding Light

2:52 pm

oh - I would have said soap rather than drama..thats why I didn't get drama

2:53 pm

Lol whatever works

2:55 pm

3:06 pm

hi all! Just getting started on the grid...

3:07 pm

hi Sue

3:07 pm

hi lynxxx!

3:08 pm

hmmm, I already don't like the e tiles...

3:09 pm

the words aren't hard or unusual - just hard to see for some reason

3:09 pm

ah. Well, I will keep looking.

3:12 pm

I don't like this grid; it's like pulling teeth to find words (for me, at least)

3:12 pm

hi nef!

3:24 pm

Hi uusue. I'm kind of multi-tasking here (pretty much as usual), so am popping in and out a lot right now

3:27 pm

bye everyone

3:29 pm

bye lynxxx. Did you finish?

3:30 pm

The words are hard to see because they are set up in the grid at odd angles and directions

3:31 pm

and invisible, Molly

3:43 pm

Well, it's hard to read one to the left, one down and two to the right. : D

3:47 pm

Hello babble world!

5:18 pm

ha, finally found my last missing e tile, nbt!

5:18 pm

Woohoo uusue

5:19 pm

My da told me once, in secret, a golden nugget of wisdom. It has been passed down through the ages as it were. It goes like this: " if all else goes to hell, and things are a turmoil, and it has gotten so bad that you want to tear your anguished heart from your breast and dash it upon the reefs of romantic misery, pause for a moment, suck it up, smile, and always, always, leave them laughing"

5:19 pm

yes. he is a temporary wolf, but I kind of like him.

5:19 pm

he sounds like quite a guy, crossy!

5:20 pm

My dad was somewhat more sardonic, he said "If you had a crystal ball of your life, you'd probably kill yourself."

5:20 pm

if I had a crystal ball of life, I would have to pawn it:(

5:21 pm

darn thing would most likely be cubic zirconia anyways;)

Yay!!Wtg Jill:D

7:53 pm

7 here*there

7:53 pm

I'm on FB a lot

Yah Jill bye Wht

ALl I wanted to get was teh 10 before I came here

7:54 pm

i kept getting viruses and hacked, so i don't bother so much now

7:54 pm

herin, are you a silent babbler now??

7:54 pm

BAbble is compulsive herin!

You only get them if you click on stuff. Also helps if you have a password that has numbers, caps and numbers as letters.

7:55 pm

en and dug in a fox hole

Yes it is Jill and yes mostly silent as it is my down time game. Also very disappointed that I had to work on the Friday at my volunteering job so I could do the 444 grid

7:57 pm

i have all that and i only click on things that i play, but others might already have vires that spread

I am pretty careful.

7:58 pm

What's you're volunteering job herin and are you working again?

I miss our chats Lil

7:58 pm

me too herin:)

7:59 pm

I am really careful...did get hacked once when we were in Hawaii. Still think it was the public wifi. And no damage done. Just new passwords to set.

7:59 pm

I don't go on mine so i think i will get rid of them...i have 2

I do volunteer work at a community legal centre. Kind of like Legal Aid

8:00 pm

My husband's fault, as we played farmville

8:00 pm

We did, however, get caught up in the US department store credit card debacle where they hacked numbers.

8:00 pm

Great herin, if i ever need legal help, i'll be emailing you:)

I pay in cash though am very guilty of the touch and go thing

Lil just an admin monkey. i do boring things like filling.

8:01 pm

Not good jilly, i hope you both came out ok

8:02 pm

better than owt herin:0

8:03 pm

i meant :), i can't remember what :0 means?

8:03 pm

clue for the ar please

8:03 pm

So how is your other half doing herin?

I am a sick weirdo that likes filing. Problem on Friday night I had my own little matrix running across my eyes from all the numbers

8:04 pm

Only the hassle. We had been traveling on the east coast when we learned of it, I began monitoring our account for any unusual activity then we changed them when we got home.

He is good. Still at the same job. Has been for the last 12 years

8:05 pm

ar+ vowel + most of frozen water

8:05 pm

ar,vowel and cold cube

8:06 pm

Lol herin, you're not weird!Glad to hear he is ok

8:08 pm

it is a pain.our bank will tell us of any unusual changes, but saying that, it will probably be after it happens but we are insured for anything like that

8:09 pm

so do you have to shelve your feelings herin?

Ru - you mean in dewie decimal system order?????? :D

8:10 pm

Lol Ru and hi:D

The problem at work is we have a lot of people on the system with the same last names and I am one of those mutants that alphabetise them properly.

8:14 pm

hello ruru

8:16 pm

hiya jilly

8:17 pm

I had to fetch a glass of semillon

8:17 pm

now I'm set...

8:17 pm

still too hot to take a walk

8:18 pm

now wrong with that, i would do the same..probably because when i was 16 and worked in the school holidays for a driving instructor company that my mam worked for, i would send out all the magazines to different instructors all over Britain and the UK so i had to alphabetise all the names.it was hard work for a 16 year old especially when i had to keep asking where certain places in Scotland were, as i had to know the post codes

8:18 pm

Hi again

8:18 pm

back to finish up

8:19 pm

But it was a good bit of pocket money..i thought i was rich at the end of it...:)

8:19 pm

Hi Smores

8:19 pm

hey lill

I was the kid that lived in the library in High School

Hi Smores

8:21 pm

hi herin

8:21 pm

hance

8:21 pm

oops :(

8:22 pm

me too herin but i enjoyed it, especially when i was doing projects.the bairn is like me and doing a project on ww1 and she has 6 weeks to do it and the teacher said spend an hour a week, she's doing atleast 2 hours a day

8:22 pm

Smores...i have that one!! :)

8:23 pm

lol

That is a lot of work.

I am going to be an old fart here but kids have it easy with research these days.

8:24 pm

Ain't that the truth! Google it

8:24 pm

you can't call yourself an old fart until you're my age herin

8:24 pm

Aye, she is working really hard and reading books, looking on line and she could print loads of the net but she is writing alot out herself...but that is her...if she does something she wants to do it her way(like me)

My old next door neighbours kid was complaining about her project and all I said was - at least you didn't have to go to the library and use the old file cards

8:25 pm

and you can't till your MY age, Ru

8:25 pm

LOl Dorens and hi :)

8:25 pm

HA!!!!!!!! out classed by the ancient one :D

8:25 pm

Hello dorens!

Ru - 37 this year. I get to say that because if I had a kid at 22 it would be graduating high school.

Hi Dorens

8:26 pm

37 .. you could be my daughter herin

8:26 pm

hi herin, you young 'un

8:26 pm

my youngest

8:26 pm

<---fortunately practices safe sex :D

8:26 pm

My bairn goes to our local libraries and we have atleast 3 and she chooses books and reads them first and then writes

8:27 pm

my oldest son is 39. 37 is definitely young

8:27 pm

My eldest is 31 and youngest 27.

Fortunately never wants snotlings

8:27 pm

Of course I had them in jr high ;)

8:27 pm

ah to be 37 again ... :D

8:27 pm

jilly was a quick starter

8:28 pm

she took her biology classes seriously

8:28 pm

i could be your daughter too Ru!! :D

8:28 pm

i just found out that one of my former students had her third child. and she isn't even 17 yet. can't make that kind of joke ru

8:28 pm

I never had any snotlings either herin

8:28 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing

8:28 pm

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

8:28 pm

Hi Minver

8:28 pm

hi min

8:29 pm

Minver: I had NO IDEA you were that Young

MINI Hello

8:29 pm

you look like you're 23 or something

8:30 pm

What Dorens?? 3 before she is 17?

8:30 pm

Hi Min

One of my sisters was 14 when she had her first

8:30 pm

yes lil -- the first was at 13. very sad..i just can't believe it

8:30 pm

cute too.. no wonder hubby doesn't let the leash out very long :D

8:31 pm

even cuter in person!!

8:31 pm

there is something inherently sad about 14 year olds having babies

8:31 pm

When we first moved here I worked with at risk pregnancies. There was a "thing" going on in school where guys were actually competing as to how many girls they could impregnate. One was 14. And that was 25 years ago!

8:32 pm

are we talking Montana Jilly?

8:32 pm

Of course that ended badly for the gentleman as the girls daddy was the county sheriff.

My birth mum and sister had theirs at the same time.

8:32 pm

hence the term Jail bait

8:33 pm

ROFL

8:33 pm

Omg...i don't know what to say...it's very sad for her and i don't want to diss the family as i don't know know the facts, but 3 before she's 17!!

8:33 pm

you'd think she'd figure it out after the first one lillian

8:33 pm

And yes ruru, little old Hamilton MT...1989

Fortunately my sisters partner has stuck about and they are married and stuff

8:33 pm

this girl's mother just had her third child shortly before her daughter's 3rd --

8:34 pm

some girls have this crazy urge to procreate.. without thinking about the consequences

8:34 pm

Sheesh, I had a teen girl in youth ministry who had 2 before she was out of HS.

8:34 pm

not that it should matter, but the mother is an illegal

8:34 pm

Glad to hear that they are still together herin but still a very young age

8:34 pm

<--- I slept with older women in high school.. women who knew better :D

The only time I really didn't dislike Teen Moms was the girl who adopted out her kid. THat I thought was an important non glamorising of the issue.

8:35 pm

Thanks rururocks!I guess you never look at my profile page

8:35 pm

<--- more Semillon!!!!!!

8:37 pm

It's sad Doren's but that's obviously where she learnt it from, as in her Mother.i'm not casting any aspertions!!(sp?)

8:37 pm

you certainly don't look anything close to 40 Minver

8:38 pm

and Doren looks like she's 48

8:38 pm

It's got to be really hard for teenage mam's whether they kepp the bairn or put the bairn out for adoption...i don't know what i would do if my bairn ever got pregnant before she was 18...hopefully i'll never find out

8:39 pm

You can't see the gray hairs in a picture, but Dorens got to see all of them!I pull them out of my scalp every single day

8:39 pm

sh jill?

8:40 pm

Is there a fire here in the chog? I think I smell smoke! LOL!

8:40 pm

My sons got handed condoms when "of age". Of course didn't know then that the youngest was gay...one benefit of being gay I guess..no pregnancy risk

8:41 pm

condoms come in handy for gays too jilly :D

8:42 pm

True...

8:42 pm

not that it's a rubber match or anything

8:42 pm

He's been duly warned about that! We lived in the Bay Area in the 80's

8:43 pm

Our children are taught about child birth and apparently given 1 condom but that doesn't mean anything in todays society....well, atleast he could tell you jilly

8:48 pm

one condom wouldn't last very long lillian

8:48 pm

I meant at School

8:49 pm

I never had sex at school

8:49 pm

good evening!

8:49 pm

I've told my bairn to cross her legs and if she ever sleeps with anyone and her dad finds out, his life won't be worht living and she'll have a chasisty belt!! :)

8:49 pm

Oh, shut up!! :)

8:49 pm

Hi Phan:)

8:50 pm

and my typing sucks as normal

8:50 pm

but I'll bet you had plenty behind the school....

8:51 pm

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

Hey no poking. That isn't fair. i was cleaning.

Cos you sound like I did when I got a new bed

9:54 pm

Help with the AR 5 please

10:04 pm

evening all

10:04 pm

hey lady, i haven't seen you around in a while!

BaNope I haven't

How are you and the fur clan? Has that darling little kitty in your icon got a home?

10:07 pm

she did :) she went to a home with another already declawed rescue cat

10:07 pm

They re-named her Springer

Why do people feel the need to declaw cats makes me angry. Unless there is a medical reason

10:08 pm

because couches are expensive, I guess? I rather figure claws come with the cat and if that doesn't fit your lifestyle, choose a different species pet... perhaps a guinea pig?

Or buy a really shitty chair like we have. $50 best clawing post ever

10:09 pm

Eric spelled weird... ae 5/12

10:10 pm

Oh! hello back at it.... 44 left

Thanks Nicky

10:10 pm

Your welcome

Jes kids are expensive to but these numb nuts have them I bet.

Over the weekend we got jokingly asked about declawing our monsters.

10:13 pm

Well, I've managed to have kids, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, rabbits and a gerbil and necer felt the need to de-claw any of them! Tempting thought at times, but never done it. lol

10:13 pm

i wouldn't know, just know they brought the cat in

10:13 pm

*neVer.

And at least they were kind enough to bring the kitty to you rather than dump it

10:14 pm

Hi, btw. xx

When we are at ikea we always joke about not having nice things or 'Ooo we can have that if we Nair the cats

10:16 pm

help with cr 5/12 I'm not seeing it

10:16 pm

I was doing a bit of tidying up yesterday and sadly realised I could put away the brush I used to keep in the sitting room that speedily brushed away cat hairs off the sofa for any visitor who was fussed about them.

Nicky is it the bird one?

10:17 pm

Nicky - cr5.12 a type of bird or a building site lifting machine.

10:17 pm

ok too easy

We have a friend that doesn't come here because he is allergic to kitties.

10:18 pm

Well, herin, an allergy is different.

Rule in our house if you don't like fur stay of the 'fur'niture

10:19 pm

We have no pets (for now), but their fur lingers on. If I wear black you can be sure a stray cat hair will find it. :)

I wouldn't know what to do without my furry terrors

10:21 pm

It takes a bit of getting used to, Herin - not having a pet. I still often forget there are none. Though some are still here in spirit.

That is true

Speaking of fur I have to vacuum at some point.

10:22 pm

I'm waiting for the next animal that wants or needs us to come along. It will happen when the time is right.

10:23 pm

I don't even need to go to a rescue centre - the animal will come to our door.

10:24 pm

My vacuuming is already done, Herin. *smug grin*

We had a cat wander to our door the other night. Cute little kitty

Hate vacuuming so it is avoided

10:24 pm

I didn't think cats were allowed to wander in Oz, Herin!

10:24 pm

Not that cats take any notice of 'rules'! lol

They aren't in some areas. Ours are strictly inside.

10:25 pm

Hi all! Here to finish...

Personally I feel that it is irresponsible to have a cat wandering in a wildlife area.

Hi Sue

10:25 pm

hi sue :)

10:25 pm

Nicky - sorry if my clue was too easy. I'm usually accused of posting clues that are too hard. lol

10:25 pm

Hi sue!

10:26 pm

need all the help I can get

10:26 pm

hi jac, herin, jes!

10:26 pm

and nicky!

My old cat wandered off one night and my parents were in a coastal area. I was really beyond pissed off at them for not keeping her in a run like I had said a million times before she went off

10:28 pm

Did you get her back, Herin?

No

10:29 pm

:(

She was old they think she went off to die. I think it was a load of bs and would have been better if she had a run

My dad is a master builder so it wasn't like it was hard for them to do so.

10:30 pm

Well, I guess if cats aren't allowed to wander and so get to know their territory, they will either get lost or come to grief. However, I think your parents might have been right about your old cat going off to die. Cats often prefer to do that.

True. My two morons are inside cats with harnesses for outside

10:31 pm

te 6/27 any hints?

10:32 pm

maggie - te6/27 = sorted out by computer geeks, maybe?

Are the U words to do with pee or pee parts?

10:34 pm

hmm

Apart from the 6/8 combo

10:34 pm

herin - some of the ur words are.

10:34 pm

some are, but there are also rn6 and 8 to do with leasing or lack thereof

have that but I was wondering if the other 4 were pee words

10:35 pm

Well they all begin with the same 3 letters, herin.

Never mind have them all

Stupid acid word

10:36 pm

lol

10:37 pm

maggiej - T + e5/16.

Jac you just reminded me to read the daily fail mail for my dose of sad entertainment

10:38 pm

tyvm

10:38 pm

y/w

10:38 pm

Lol re the daily read, Herin.

10:39 pm

Make sure you are not mislead by the dramatic headlines, Herin!

10:39 pm

down to my last three, all ur words

This is my daily dose of what moron celeb is doing what

10:41 pm

uusue2 - ur + vowel + 'I'd rather be a hammer **** a nail' = ur7/36.

10:41 pm

got them - fireworks!

Yah Sue

10:41 pm

Well done, sue!

10:41 pm

yay uusue!

10:41 pm

thanks!!

10:42 pm

herin - why do you even waste your time on what wanna be famous people are doing?

It is one of my secret chuckles.

10:44 pm

And what is t these days with girls wearing too much foundation and blusher, plus bvious false eyelashes and brows that look like 17th century mouse skin stick ons?

10:45 pm

Pretty girls are rendered ugly by such a fashion and ugly girls just look like pantomime dames. I really don't get it!

You are talking to the person that owns both winter and summer make up but never wears it

10:46 pm

At one time it was only 'traveller' girls that got made up like that, but it now seems to be spreading into wider society.

I don't wear make up. heck I don't even have visible eyebrows at the moment

10:48 pm

I'd better get off to bed in a few minutes. Got a baking day ahead - making rich fruit cake for my Mum, birthday cake for my daughter, lemon tart and a cake for us.

10:48 pm

Also have some writing to do.

And where is mine???

10:49 pm

Nice chatting again, herin. Talk again soon. Sorry you won't get any cake.

Later Jac

10:51 pm

11:12 pm

11:12 pm

11:12 pm

YAY Jes and hello all

11:13 pm

oh man, pulled a peri on that one

11:13 pm

NBT on the construction terms

11:14 pm

LOL and just found the hedgehog...

11:14 pm

good, cuz i'm still trying to figure out which words start where :P

11:15 pm

jes, I am "dreaming" landscaping I may be able to add if I manage to get another full-year gig next year. Is pea gravel an okay thing to put in a dog run? I don't want bark mulch, but I want something that is easily raked and maintained (the space doesn't have great light for keeping grasses alive)

11:16 pm

and how's your house project going?

11:17 pm

not gonna be able to do much, if anything, this year. gotta come up with too much for taxes right off and spending about $5000 on Bruce's teeth...

bye

11:18 pm

oh oh....

11:18 pm

g'night, lady, sleep sweet!

11:18 pm

(((lady))) see you soon I hope!

11:18 pm

what did Bruce do with his teeth?!?

11:19 pm

years of avoiding dentists, mainly. nothing acutely traumatic, but went in this month and spent $3000 for 2 crowns and 5 fillings.

11:19 pm

going back next month to do the other side of his mouth

11:21 pm

oh gee. that's rough. I am so glad our dental insurance paid for most of the work I needed when two teeth needed crowns (a third would have needed a crown, but the root canal split the tooth so it turned into an implant...).

11:22 pm

But at least he is taking care of it now.

11:22 pm

eesh. yeah, hopefully this is the end of expensive dentals... but with a $10,000 tax bill on top of that, there's just nothing to put towards house building

11:23 pm

oooh. just found this article about a fossil bone (two halves found a hundred + years apart). Fascinating... http://www.bbc.com/news/science-enviro\nnment-26717415

11:23 pm

oof. that is a really big tax bill.

11:24 pm

I don't think we will owe money, but I haven't looked over the taxes yet. Tom has been entering the data. I need to check it before we send it off.

11:24 pm

help with de 5/12?

11:25 pm

nicky: it means to prevent, or discourage someone from doing something

11:25 pm

it's also similar to the last name of baseball player derek je5

11:26 pm

Thanks

11:27 pm

I wasn't expecting to owe - kind of sideswiped me.

11:29 pm
