we are having a nice spring thunderstorm right now
wonder if it is coming our way
lovely, pugs, that should freshen everything up
I dont know dee
Dee and Flosey is your cold over for you and your hubbies
pretty much, pugs, thanks - dear hubby didn't get it here - lucky fellow
I haven't checked the weather lately. Hubby seems to be on the mend. Mine is hanging on, but I can breathe better.
seems all good then--glad for you all :)

I have all the ws...
wtg my missing w was the plural geesh
Hint on the ba8?.
here is the def a closely woven fabric of silk, rayon, cotton, or wool, having a pebbled surface. I have never seen it before... starts with pub + 1st vowel + beginning of a movie place
Thanks see
Dee...

See is dee..In auto correct
funny
guess it is better than pee LOL
I am crashing ..had to get up at 5 this morning
how did the vet appt go?
Good..they are giving her different pain medication that will keep her comfortable
great!
Yeah.. my wife was elated. ..that dog is the sweetest dog
really makes it tough when they age and start having issues... I am sure it is heartbreaking
Yes..but she is doing really well for 14...I have been through it with my Monty...
glad for helpful report and meds, I am sure
Yep..
fireworks... tough grid
Mrs and I are getting along better too
Glad to hear!!!
I knew eventually it would get better
How did you know?
Because we are good friends and we do love and care for each other
We just can't live together any longer
Maybe you should just buy a house with two apartments :)
She proposed that once ...lol
I don't think that would work though
a lot of years invested, not to at least consider it... being alone in old age is pretty tough :)
especially if you don't hate each other... that is pretty unique
My servant days are over though..
understandable
Congrats and good night dee...
ty, ru... rest well, congrats on the good news at the vet's *poof*
back again - nothing like a bat in the house to wake one up again!
was it dracula visiting? LOL
Yikes Flosey! How did you get it out?
Hi flosey - how's the cold?
Hubby is certain he got it out but I still can't settle down - will search for a few more words and get it out of my head
lol pugs, might as well be eh!
Hi bugs and dianne
cold is pretty well gone thanks, time to get back to normal
hi to all you gys :)
hi pugs
and hi to everyone here in the middle of the night
FWs
bugs, hubby turned on all the outside lights, off inside, opened the doors and it must have been attracted to lights outside
clever move on his part. anything that flies seems to land and poop on every surface in the place before it finds its way out
I just found it hard to settle down to sleep - had been feeling sleepy. I'll take a better look around in the morning to make sure there isn't any 'remnants' left behind
**aren't
shouldn't change thought midstream

swire
sorry
no problem Dianne, all are swo etc
just going to make a cup of tea, brb
down to 60, and feeling pleasantly drowsy, goodnight all
night flosey
Hope you are better, puglet. I am leaving.
Hi pug - IHow are you feeling?
Hi OO, thank you and I do feel a bit better--take care and have a good day
Iam doing better Dianne, thank you
brb, need more coffee
there are ur* words here as medical terms that aren't babbled... this annoys me
oh right... nevermind my mind was reversing other letters to make them legit in my minds eye
derp
just keep balling lol
good morning all :)
good morning Sprite :)
*hugs pugs* Gotten over the shock a bit, my darling?
I have
am glad. thought of you so much.
I go to another doctor for that tuesday
ah good, that is pretty soon
that place on my arm was bleeding so bad yesterday I thought I was going to have to go back. After five hours it finely clotted
oh darling :( That is so long! Make sure you drink plenty today and rest, you hear? Sounds like you lost quite a lot of blood.
I was only home for a wee bit and that clinic called saying the surgeon had sent over my records and wanted me seen as soon as possible
that means it is pretty serious, honey. I wish it wasn't. But since it is, I am glad they put a move on things.
I know--I couldnt get it to stop--it soaked clear through the stuff they wrapped it with, my blouse and coat---I hope I can get it out of my jacket
Oh my pug p did you cut yourself?
yeah me too
hi Dianne
No Di, I had cysts on parts of my body finding out I got diabetes and they operated on them
Hi sprite - how are you and your family?
we are all well, thanks Dianne :) How are you and yours?
Oh pug so sorry to hear of this trouble. I knew your sister has diabetes but I didn't realize that you are also diabetic. I hope all will be all right/
I didnt know I was either until yesterday
things should get better from here on, at least, pugs. Now that you know what is what and are getting treatment.
sprite - we are good, busy working and making the ends meet :)
good job, Dianne :)
Pug - that must have come as quite a shock.
I need to eat but I just cant seem to
it was--I had no signs I did
god I know that feeling, pugs. Remember what you tell me when I have that feeling? To eat a little bit, just to keep the sugar lvl ok?
Wow - and you certainly know what signs to look for.
yeah I know
it was the same with me, Dianne. No signs. Just going to the doctor for something else, having bloodwork done, and tadaaaa we have a surprise for you.
I wasent thirsty or nothing like that but I have lost about 80 pounds(which Iam not sorry)
but that is a LOT of weight loss, darling.
What type of clinic do you need to go to?
Its a new one they just put in about a year ago
To deal with the diabetes?
now I got loose flab--lol
yes Di--thats where the surgeon has sent me
good morning
never mind the loose flab, darling. You are fine the way you are. Now only focus on getting healthy again.
{{pugs}}
HI Ruby dear
hi ruby :) How was your outing?
Iam feeling better--the fever has gone now to get rid of the infection
Pug - you certainly have alot on yur plate lately. I wish you only the best.
thank you Di
am so glad, pug. Much better without the fever and a good sign too.
did you get my mail about Carol? She wont get out for another 3 or 4 days
I had fun on the outing, but the movie was too complicated and, of course, in French, that I fell asleep for about half of it
yes I did, only it got overshadowed by your mail about your health, sweetie. Sorry. Am really sorry for your friend as well.
pugs, if you can stand it, eat some liver to make you stronger
hahaha ruby, well at least you got a nice nap!
well at least you got out Ruby and got a nice nap too-lol
and the sushi was pretty good
I like liver, so I will
I am walking around really tired -- maybe because I am doing so much more
french for tree is not valid, just to let you know
I hated livr the way my mother made it (was like shoe leather), but once I learned to cook it briefly and with fried onions, I have come to love it
good food, good company and a good nap, ruby... sounds like you came out winning on all counts.
what is a french tree
and baby dog, when she sees a cat, is barely manageable for me, so I am really working the whole walk
thats how I like it too Ruby
arbre
arbre = tree
ty
although my Fr is pretty good, when more than one person speaks at the same time (like in movies or TV), I get lost
I simply can't stand liver, unless it is not fried but cooked, and sliced thin, as bread topping.
I dont know what happen to Rose--she came on at flip and said hi and that she will be back after getting her words and she just left
don't worry about it, ruby, just be happy with all the good stuff.
I like beef or chicken liver
all that talk about food made me hungry - got carrot sicks and olives to munch on.
ah, real life interfered in some form, no doubt, pugs. Squirrel, meds, pyjama, visitors, sex... you know rose.
a nice healthy snack--lol
lol Dianne! Enjoy!
It is a healthy snack - but the blue cheese dip?
am having 2 apples for breakfast here, with some crackers.
I dip my carrots in Boursin
how did it go yesterday Sprite? Did you get the things done you wanted to do
balance in all, Dianne. If you have a healthy snack, you need the balance of a blue cheese dip
I did, pug, and I rested a lot, with my feet up. Most of the day, to be honest. And lo and behold, I have ankles today!
ALRIGHT! thats good Sprite
I love boursin
I dont know what that is
it is a soft cheese with garlic and herbs. Very tasty.
it's a soft, mild chees with garlic and herbs
snap, sprite
sounds good
roflol :D
and there's a type "cuisinier" which is perfect for dipping
oh, indeed, the one for cooking. Also very yummy.
one of my favorite quick dishes: cook pasta. Meanwhile, fry chopped bacon, add chopped leek, when the leek is soft enough, turn down the heat and add boursin (or any soft garlicky cheese), stir. Serve over the pasta. Tadaa, done. And sooo good.
sounds good Sprite
ooh, quick 50 and off to lunch at Sprite's place. Picking mint for the bartender
{{big hugs everybody}}
enjoy your lunch, ruby
hugs and enjoy Ruby
we have already had two thunderstorms this morning and the air smells so good and fresh
I have never, ever used one of the ep words !
that is lovely, pugs. Nothing like the world after a thunderstorm.
*hunting for ep words now*
babble has allot of words Ive never use nor probablly ever will
I heard and saw (Animal Planet) that bears can smell rain from quite a distance.
*giggles* Those are great words for parties though.
wow, didn't know that, Dianne
thats amazing Di
everyday on babble I learn new words so its like a english class--lol
I learn them too, pug, but mostly forget them in a few days.
not that I will remember them two days from now-lol
"While walking down the beach, ywis, I spotted an inia. Riding home with my sonsie wife, we saw some anoas. We traversed a haha on the final stretch home. And, how was your day?"
Into the PB for you sprite.
omg, lol! Sorry about that! Had not seen it.
giggle, giggle
that's what I get for showing off :D
I dont mind you showing off-go right on --lol
lol :D
flosey had a bat in her house and I asked her if dracula was paying her a visit-lol
lolllll! What did she say?
she laughed
could she get it out?
her hubby did---she didnt say how it got in though
I wonder where she hid while he was taking care of it.
open window maybe. I like bats, to be honest. But not in my house.
lol, I dont know Di
in the toilet with the do4 locked, lol
I think she said he turned off the house lights and opened the door
I dont think we have ever had any in the house
oh, my pretty bluebirds are back making a nest in their little birdhouse
that is great!
they are so pretty----and I got teeny tiny leaves sprouting out on the lilac bushes so its spring time at last
good things to hold on to in all this turmoil, pugs
I enjoy springtime myself
hows you weather Sprite
pretty good today. I see a bit of blue sky, the sun is out and it is not raining.
is it spring there too
oh yes, blossoming trees and all, pugs
is your country's tulip in bloom yet
it is a bit early still for tulips
I bet that is so pretty to see all those flowers bloomed out
and there we are again, past the hiccup
at least it didnt last so long this morning
what exciting stuff are you doing today
lolllll yeah my life is SO exciting!
have you got any ideals on how I might get that blood out of my white jacket
well much more then mine
let me think... babble now. With breakfast. Then laundry. Already did the kitchen. Maybe prepare some stuff for dinner. Rest some with my feet up. Walk Terra. And maybe get Win7 for my computer.
cold water and lots and lots of it, pugs.
also... let me find what it is called in english.
oh you got W7---yeah for you
ox gal soap? Does that ring a bell?
theres so much of it Iam worried about getting it out--got my jacket, blouse and two gowns
yes---I got some of that
thanks
this one: http://tinyurl.com/nd5a2of
I saw such an interesting program on the Tulip Mania of the 1630's. The early "stock market".
okay, thanks
first, rinse with cold running water until no more blood comes out. Then treat with the soap, let soak in for a bit, rinse. Repeat until the stains are gone.
sounds interesting indeed, Dianne
ox bile/gal soap is great with fat and blood stains.
will do Sprite--tyvm
yvw pugs
lol--it was bleed so bad and through everything I finelly took a femine pad and taped it on my arm--I didnt know what else to use
oh that is so smart! Good thinking!
I forgot the ing on bleed
hehehe no worries, it was clear what you meant
shouldn't you call the clinic and tell them how bad it has been bleeding?
if it hadent clotted I would have had to
yeah but maybe they know something better than just drink a lot of fluids and rest...
bleeding for 5 hours is wayyyy too much, honey.
but I thought if was good to let the infection bleed out and its right in the muscle of my arm so everytime I moved it--it just poured
I think you are right about it being good for clearing out the infection. But it is severe blood loss.
I must say I was getting a tad worried about it
just give them a call, please, pugs. Ask them if they have any advice on this. Tell them how lightheaded you felt yesterday too.
well its not bleeding now and it has clotted so I think Iam okay but if it starts back I most certainly will do so
not about the bleeding, but about the blood loss. I am a bit worried that it was too much. Since you are already weak and the infection has undermined your health, as has the diabetes. Would you call them for my peace of mind?
okay, will do when they open
I know for sure that they didn't know it would bleed so badly, or they wouldn't have let you go, pugs
great :) Please let me know what they say.
okay I will--and please dont worry for Iam fine right now
I sure do worry, sweetie, lol. Won't stop until you are all balanced out again, with sugar levels and no infections and feeling stronger.
He told me before I left that my blood was very thick--it sure didnt seem like it to me-lol
lol! All the more reason to tell them what happened. They need to have all the facts to help you properly.
since my fever has left the infection must be leaving as well
yes, for sure. So glad of that.
I should know alot more after tuesday
am doing so well here myself, pugs. With the eating, I mean. No binges at all. Sometimes still skipping an eating moment, but overall doing great.
Iam so hoping I dont have to take shots
if you have questions for that specialist, pugs, write them down... so easy to forget once you are sitting there.
yes you are Sprite and Iam so happy for you too
thanks :)
I never thought of that--ty and I will
you braved all this cutting and lots of shots already... even if you need more, you will be fine
I mean insulin for the sugar
fireflies
you are so smart and good
oh! Sorry, so dense of me. No, I hope not either. I hope they will start you off on meds and see how that goes.
me too Sprite
smart, maybe, lol. Good... nah. Good enough, I hope. *hugs*
I wish and hope you have a very good day--hugs and love and all thats good for you today and tonight
will be thinking of you, dear pugs. Take care of yourself, ok? *hugs* And to you and all a blessed day and a peaceful night.
thanks Sprite--bye dear friend

there is also an ep 8/50 that ends with the same 4 letter word that last one did
ty crossy
and the ba8/ 55 is almost impossible as well, so I will toss that freebie out..
how do yu find these words, crossy? never would have gotten without clues
pub + 1st vowel + beginning of a movie place
ty to volleymom for that one
they are truly evil words:))
amen and ty
it is good to have some evil ones out of the way right at the start. Makes the rest flow more smoothly
wrathed

good morning
howdy, annie
hi Annie
morning, bichon and crossy
hello, all, and tx crossy for the bizarro words!! :-)
Hi Une, more flowers popping up?
hi Une
I thing there are also a few UR medical words, but I am not the best at finding them it seems
think
Our daffs look like they're ready to pop
happy spring flower
hello everybody from the land of flowers! Everything is popping and we have more shades of green than Ireland, just in my own garden
Are you that much warmer than here ruby?
we just didn't have a real winter, so many things never even lost their leaves from last year
It never got below -1C (30F or so)
You're not that far from Albertville
no, about 1/2 hour
Did they get snow?
it depends on the altitude because when we got rain, peope 500 ft above us got snow
It must be beautiful where you live. If only we could visit
time to refuel the brain cells bbl
that would be wonderful!!!!
Hello Ruby! Hello Bichon!
and you would love Miss and Mister. They grow more beautiful and sweeter every day.
hi car.

Hello kiddos!
before I dash out to class it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!. Did you know that the U.S postal service once processed and mailed a live baby? yup! ...
http://tinyurl.com/n2jenya
hi Scrabbs
ok, classes await.. tc all and happy babbilg.. poink!
{{crossy}} I need my handyman! He said he was coming back on Wed but never showed up. I bought two small tree/shrubs to block the view of my neighbor's pool junk, but can't possibly plant them myself
hello scrabs
Bye Crossy!
yay, half
and nbs ut not nbt
Bye Crossy!
Hi Scrabs!
Annie, please pray for Ben (google Blue4Ben) a 4 yr old identical twin with end-stage brain cancer, and Aaron an 11 yr old just diagnosed with leukemia.
Car, I love that pic of you as a young girl with your 2 kitties.
:( I will pray for them both Scrabs.
TY! One of my favorite pics of me!
Hi Scrabs, that's bad news
What were those kitty's names?
that must be a terribly heavy weight for you to carry, scrabs
Children with leukemia can be treated, right?
One of them was Gypsy Rose I believe, but I have no idea what the other one was. We had a LOT of cats when I was growing up.
Yes, Bichon, I am always saddened to learn of suffering kids and their parents and sibs.
Scrabbs, Oh dear, they are added to the list.I still pray for Nathaniel and Levi.
Dara remains in remission. Levi's struggle with muscular dystrophy has barely begun at age 4.
Bichon, the cure rate for childhood leukemia is upwards of 80% or more, depending on the specific type.
Everyone suffers when a child is gravely ill.
So much, Annie.
be back soon
Does anyone have time for puppy potty training questions?
I know how to train rabbits to use a litter box.
what kind of puppy? i am working with a choc. lab rescue mix
The Queen of Soul is in the grid today!
Border Collie mix...also a rescue. We have had him for a month.
And hello Lynxxx!
good morning all
Hello WV!
i reward my puppy with treats every time she goes out and i mop the floors with watered down ammonia (and keep her in those areas)
Hi lynnet and wv
hello car
hello scrabs
Hi Lynnet! We are doing that with the treats as well. Good idea about the amonia! TY!
when they have accidents (which do happen) I say NO then take them out immediately and wait for them to pee again, reward, etc.
We take him out to potty, and he does, but then he comes in the house and will pee again on the floor.
He was doing really well with potty training, but the last two days he has regressed something awful.
I kept them on a leash in the house attached to my waistband. That way they couldn't pee in the house. Sounds weird, but it worked. Bichons [males] are notorious for marking in the house.
Ours pees three times (learning that the hard way) so we wait. I generally throw a stick for her a few times just to make sure she's done.
Wheeee! NBS!
I am not doing well with this grid. But I need to drink more coffee.
<pours Scrabs a tall hot coffee>
I accidentally made decaf coffee first but realized my mistake quickly. Phew.
Stats please for the A in the middle column?

OK...got to run and take mom to her day program. Have a great day everyone!

All I can think of is sprinkling pepper flakes
I will ask my trainer about that one and get back to you!

tyvm ddb
Dings all around!
ty ddb, good clue.. a newbie for me
Haven't seen Hurshy for a while either.

lol...ddb, nice one :)
keep the clues coming ddb
if you (all of you) only knew how much you help me every day...been doing this 8 years and loving it...great game, great people!
well, it is great to have you in the chog, ddb
brb.. tummy grumbles
Oh, it's like a debutante ball for ddb. Roses and tiaras for everyone!
thanks for the warm welcome! I've felt like one of you for years but have been a lurker...
Glad you stepped out from behind the bushes, ddb. : D
halfway, NBT and NBS - time for breakfast break
back again for a bit - 55 left - phew - getting real tough now
and hello ddb
sliced some jalapeno cheese on top of an egg over easy, onion bagel on the side.. passes tray around
I am so off eggs!
hoy aloy!
ahoy aloy!
snatches eggs off tray.. hi kje
what's wrong with eggs?
I was borderline with eggs anyway - would only eat them scrambled, then at a chef's table several months ago they served a raw quail egg yolk in a dashi broth and I thought I would try it... it is just one tiny bite! but that was a mistake. I almost couldn't swallow... several moments of trying very hard to smile and not gag, then finally got it down. Haven't been able to look at an egg since
even just cracking them for baked goods is a little creepy
ooch.. ixnay on raw eggs
they are so slimy
just change the albumin with heat
I like eggs but they have to be fully cooked - no runny anything so that would gross me out too kje
have you ever dropped eggs on the floor? I once dropped a carton on the kitchen floor as a teenager and they are hard to clean up... they slide all around! I think that was when I first developed an aversion - lol
LOL.. that explains your egg-o-phobia!
I've made it to 55 left and must say, this is getting quite sticky now
46 left here and totally stuck - guess I need to walk away for a while - need to get back to work anyway
hagd river
bye for now River

Good Friday morning, one and all!
GFM, Judi!

Ty, kje for the ba8
Th7: one who pitches.
oh, sorry, first th7?
PHantom: absurd.
that is no phantom in this grid, judi!
I also found Aruba and some Arabs. All for squat.
I listed... not helping a lot, really odd words in here
What r u going to do with all the Arabs u found,Judi?
I have to get stuff done - may be back later if I have time - hagd all
absurdly, she will put them on aruba...
Camel races?
poof
aah...but today is not HUMP day!
I found arabian instruments in the grid...they could entertain the crowd at your camel races!
lol. The grid provides!
stats for the arabian instruments please
ou4
thnx aeb - what instrument do you make music on?
many.....mostly....harp, piano,organ, guitar, dulcimer, hammer dulcimer, guitjo, recorder psalter ...to name a few.
i play the dulcimer as well - also the psaltery
I taught recorder to Special Ed classes when I taught music in elementary school.
do you ever go to any of the Ohio music festival - i have attended Dulcimore which is on Memorial Day weekend
do u finger pick as well as strum the dulcimer?
not recently
primarily strum, but have taken workshops on fingerpicking and would love to do it better
is the harp your "primary" instrument?
I like to finger pick better than strum....but any way u play the dulcimer it is a gentle and soothing sound.
well...piano first then harp
Time for a break. *POOF*
clue for bu5, please
nm.. I found it!
have the BA 8, BR 8, and TH 8 - what are stats for the last 8 please

Teehee!
off for now - need to lie down again - got viral labrynthitis and its a pig to live with
Not sure what that is, Kazzer, but does not sound nice...Do hope you get well soon ((Kazzer))
looked it up - never knew of it - said to be Viral labyrinthitis is thought to be a relatively common inner ear condition/infection among adults
back to try to find some more - raining here and decided not a good day to go out and run errands
Hmm, I have never thought of my inner ear as a labyrinth. : )
Oh, but it is.
It looks more like a spiral to me, but my perception has been known to be off.
the medeival anatomists were poetic.
They liked big words too. : D

hello everyone :)
hi
hello nan
howdy cybernan
been trying to figure out win 8 today and have come to the conclusion (for the first time) that, technologically, I am part of the forgotten generation!
i do not care for win 8, they do have a patch for it now that gives you all the power and toys of win 8, but the general home screen of win 7. It is much easier to adapt that way
feh. forget about it today and go play a round of golf instead :)
Hi, everyone! Wow--I have the rest of today and the weekend off work! Haven't had that happen in months. Lots of projects to catch up on!
sounds like a fine idea
hi, mimi
((mimi))
good to have some time just for you
Crossy, I live in terror thinking about when this computer gives out and I may have no choice but to go to Win 8....scary.
<-- is going to golf this year. my husband pointed me towards boxes and boxes of golf balls, said buy these, and these, and these ... i said, why? i can only hit the ball 3 feet, i only need one ball :)
fine for you crossy, but I am of the generation that doesn't want or use apps, smart phones or any of that stuff. I want to put an icon on my taskbar that will connect me to the control panel when I want it -- I want to organize my own files and I don't want a bunch of popups asking me to register for all the apps I don't want with no way to get rid of them.
should rephrase the statement. *is going to swing the club this year*
good news is that by the time your old girl gives up the ghost, they will most likely have learned their lesson at Microsoft, and Win 9 will be much better
Making French Onion soup today....yum...and ...crossy...bacon wrapped filet mignon bites with bearnaise sauce.
like Vista?... ;o)
yay nan... that's the way i feel and get furious when i can't have it my way. i am too old to learn too much nerw shit and don t want to
hoping for that too --- after all, I did manage to skip vista successfully! In the meantime, hubby got a new laptop with win8 and both of us, like martin short, are ready to pitch it on the ice!
then, cybernana, if you buy a new machine that comes pre-loaded with win 8, you will need to use a hard drive wipe program like Killdisk" wipe the drive clean, reformat it and buy a copy of win 7 and do a clean install
I had Vista on my original desktop and disabled it and changed to XP. I hear Win 8 just isn't compatible with MANY things.
dittto, sammy
I will tell you now, stay away from Win xp now that it no longer has any support. the hackers will now exploit the hell out of it
Luckily, my old computer had partitions, so just had to install XP on the other one. Yes, I know XP is a dinosaur now...kind of like me...
still have an xp, but don't use it on line -- only to use old programs that won't run on the newer OS's
Thx crossy - mine is XP!
well, yes, you can set up a dual-boot OS set up as well
Hoots, i would advise you hunt for what is called a builders copy of Win 7.
boy! -- guess I opened a can of worms here - lol
And from the info they sent me, 8 is no good but they now have 8.1
My dear friend got me this HP laptop when my other one died but when I need to replace it, am going for a desktop so if it dies, I can just replace the hard drive and/or motherboard rather than replace the entire computer.
8.1 is the new home screen interface i just taled about
only if you can figure out how to download it without everything freezing on you, hoot
What's a builders copy. We've been talking about getting a new cmp but not sure if we can get one with 7.
still want icon links on my desktop and no apps!
Just do what crossy said and wipe the 8 off and reinstall 7, owl.
that is why you have to install it yourself. Most pre- builts are coming with win 8. If you want &, you will have to do it yourself, or get a friend handy with computers to do it
I'm with you Nan.
wish I knew how do to that mimi
if you want 7*
You can also have places like Best Buy build your computer for you and that way you have more options.
when i get too frustrated, i call my grandson over and tell him what i want todo and he fixes the thing for me and says you go nan,, he has known computers since he was thee and is 28 now and understands us both.. he and the pc . gant ask for more than that
sounds good, sammysmom
me and the pc that is
I do the same with my son...he's 33 and amazingly good at all this stuff.
te7?
Don't trust best buy or really anyone arounf here.not the brightest bunch!
would love to send a letter to microsoft discussing senior's issues with these dramatic OS changes, but just try and find somewhere to send it! -- the only address on their website is snail mail!
I wish i could spend 30 minutes with each of you . I would have your computers just purring
Where does he live? I'll pay him!
Crossy...that would be worth the price of a plane ticket!
te 7 is how we feel about this game today!
.....have always suspected that purring is your specialty skill, crossy!
yup!
Gotta get to some of my projects...going to be such a great weekend doing exact what I want to do! Hugs all around.
ty for that te 7 hoots

Yoo hoo, Soodle, we did this yesterday : D
OMG.... the plot has been lost. I honestly thought I dreamed that. OK. Now I'm worried.
There, there Soodle. Pour yourself another glass of wine. Pretty soon, you won't remember anything.
Thats whats really scary. No wine. Actually - maybe thats the problem.
I keep trying to tell you this "giving up stuff for Lent" thing is bad for you.
Then there is the matter of you dreaming about Babble : O
Molly! I tried the cake-cup the other night -- delicious. I started with the one where you combine two cake mixes. Thank you!
Glad you liked it Ch. It's a quick, easy sweet.
:)
I'm going to try the booze in a cup recipe - the kind where you mix two kinds of booze :')
LOL!!!

Well, you know, Martians are hard to warm up to. But look what happened to Ray Walston!

I always find it therapeutic when i go there

yes, I can see that... we've been hiking and driving in Marin County with the cows... and eating oysters right out of the bay... nature is therapeutic
That sounds great Kje..i must admit i've never had oysters...they've never appealed to me
Cows that can hike and drive. California has everything!!
it really does
Lill - there is nothing like them when fresh... and Pacific oysters are my favorite! The colder the water the better.

Sorry, i was away watching a ewe licking her twins... i've been told that i should swallow oysters...never going to happen, as i can't even swallow a little table and then other times told to chew them...
Table?lol tablet even
table swallowing is an art, lill

Hi Dan
phantom : brouhaha
OMG, i've seen it all now! a butcher from Liverpool has taken a Scotch egg to new horizons!! I don't like Scotch eggs but to put a cadburys cream egg in the middle of meat is disgusting!!
Hi Ru:)
hi lill
I like that word Ru, but i wouldn't have spelt it like that..have you ever had a cream egg Ru?
nope
Do you get them in the U.S?
I don't know what they are
they are milk chocolate shaped eggs with a fondant cream in the middle...very sickly
they are sickly sweet
I think we have like easter eggs.. I don't know of cream eggs
WE can get them in Canada
And a butcher in England has put one in meat!! ughhh
Like cadbury eggs?
they get a lot of Peeps in the US freckledcat and we don't get those often
yes, they are cadburys
Doesn't appeal to me.
hi lbd!
Ugh
Hi bugs, hi everyone
Hi everyone by the way
Plenty of Cadbury Cream Eggs in the US
Probably just at Easter
always just at Easter
wode
oops
no worries
we can get them here all year round...i used to like them when i ws younger...too sickly now but in meat...that's just too much!! it was pork, so not good

It's good but sad also Une.I love the pic of Apollo and so glad he has a new home and hope he has settled

tripod malinois?
Apollo is happy as a clam with his new human little brother and his canine sister :-)
3 legged?
yes
I'm so glad:)

I still don't know what a mallinois is...i'll have to google

Siberian Husky's are beautiful

My nextdoor neighbour just lost his female black lab a few weeks ago and is looking for another one, but he want s one to train as a gun dog

The Mallinois looks just like a alsatian dog
You too Une :)
he was really small -- and very frightened, poor baby
ok bye bye
Aww, bless him...tc Une
It's like a german shepherd and is apparently a shepherd dog...
I would like 'abdurate' to be a word... but it isn't
Apparently there is a word obdurate
yes, definitely. but this board has 'abdurate'!
I only looked it up because you said it Natasha and found the ob word :)...sadly i'll forget it tomorrow
I think abdurate sounds btter
*better
obdurate - stubborn, hard as rock
meanwhile I cannot find the ba8, but I am obdurate :-)
Stubbornly persisent...like me!! :)
Would you like a clue?
gulp... hate to because then I didn't do it all by myself like a great big girl...
I would Lillian. Don't look Natasha and dan2bit. Tired of looking for ba8.
I've never seen it before and probably loads of babblers will tell you the same...i'm quite happy for you to try as it's not a good word to clue!!
ba8, where you go for a drink,vowel and first 4 letters of where you go to see shows/musicals
sorry, it wasn't more descriptive but it is 2.36am here and i'm tired plus i couldn't think of how else to clue it
thanks lilliann, now that I see what it is, I realize I would NEVER EVER have stumbled upon it!!
Thanks lill. I will look.
Yw Natasha and i hope you get it JW
Got it! Thanks so much.
:)
sorry there aren't anymore cluers, they don't seem to come out when i'm here!!
I am happy with you lilliann. :)

do5,14/do6,27 anyone? stumped. not the first two do5/14, the third one that is followed by do6/27
if you have the do4 add a vowel, i don't have the 6 though
thanks! that helped
i don't think the 6 goes witht he 5
guess not! just tried
Found do6 - it's the do4 you just clued, with a football cheer at the end
I'm crawling here, and still missing 33 words - too many. I'm throwing in the towel. Night all!
Which type of football?
American, british?
I stil need 29 Natasha.Night and tc
hello again - 24 here
Hi Teach
hello lilli
I'm not getting the football cheer.Do you have the do6,27 please
Found it :)
Sorry
DO 4/6 + exclamation of delight
I have all the 4's but ty teach, it was the do6 but i found it after i asked...typical babble :)
happens all the time :)
Sorry, misread your clue...it's late/early here...
I can't believe after 170 words i've just found what a person opens to walk into room!!! A definite fish slap needed!!
just got DE 4 - not shallow - that's my fish slap
was looking up at your D
In these grids we tend to have loads of fish slaps!!
greyed out all the Ds - just A and B words left
I'm all over
(thanks, lilliann - it's that time of year for sheep cam, too!)
or lamb cam - there's a new one :)
Hi Welki, i like my lamb cam this time of year...i've just checked up on the newest mam with her twins :)
i've been watching a barn owl cam - two eggs within the last couple of days and an eagle cam (three chicks hatched) - maybe i watch them because spring comes so late here
I saw them being born...i love this time of year
** finito ** last word AA 5/14 - good night all
we often drive in the country - i love seeing all the calves and foals :)
hi and bye, teach
I'll have to look into those too Welki as i love birds also
WTG Teach and tc :0
(waiting for the herons to come back to their nest - they're my favorite birds - and then pelicans :)
I've seen herons and pelicans in Zoos here but i have seen herons wild in Egypt
It was lovely to see them in there own habitat and flying
i used to have a nesting pair in my backyard when i lived back east (in new jersey) - they usually had one chick each year, sometimes two
Wow...that's brilliant
lil, i see two lambs, one in each pen
it was a beautiful yard - at a junction of a river and a stream, lots of big trees. my neighbors had peacocks that would roost in the trees (what a racket they made - scared me the first time i heard them)
I have loads of little birds nesting in my fir trees...different types of tits,black birds, starlings and others, i also have collared doves who normally nest near my sky dish but not this year and i have a pidgeon, first time this year copmes and feed and the horrible rook type birds
oh, there are the twins - and another in the other pen!
There is only one lamb with her mam in a pen, and the other mam with her twins are outside the pen
we live close to parkland, so see lots of different birds here, even in the city - and we live near a river, so get to see eagles, herons, pelicans and hawks - closer to home, flickers, magpies, robins, nuthatch, sparrows and finches
hi all
and then the occasional deer and coyote - a couple of miles down the road, moose, deer, cougars and bear
hi, owl - lillian reminded me that it's lamb cam time again!
I have a picture of 2 female peacocks on the bairn's summerhouse last year...i looked out of the kitchen window and thought what the hell is that and then looked again and realized they were.we have a farm nearby and they have peacocks..sometimes we'll see the male one strutting around the village
oh joy!
Hi TO :)
ha! then you know about the screeching i was talking about - they are noisy birds!
That sounds great welki, with all the birds you get to see
hi,lil
I'm loving the other animals you get too Welki
... and then there are canada geese. beautiful birds, but quite a nuisance when they congregate. like walking in a mine field
Aye the male one seems to do all the noise as when we had the females on the shed they were quiet
where in england are you, lil?
The male one was at a bus stop once and i said to my husband "i wonder if he would have to pay to get on" :)

Geese get nasty, don't they....i always remember my mam saying when she was younger, in ww2, they had geese and they'd chase her
wow - you couldn't get much closer to scotland
Aye, a couple of hours away..that's why the Scotish like the geordies...nearer to Scotland, but they don't like majority of English
yep, they can be (but swans are nastier) - but they make good farm companions. i bought one to keep my girlfriend's horse company, a 'toulouse goose' to be precise
really? a goose and a horse?
Swans are nasty...beautiful though.In England you can't harm a swan...as it's royal
yes (and they're pretty good 'watchdogs' too, as are roosters - my husband used to have a rooster that would chase anyone who came onto his property
my neighbor has a pair
nothing worse than being chased by a ...
Roosters are noisy though. i would love chickens, but my cat would frighten them to death and there are too many cats around here
you have quite the pair, too, owl
hello hello
... a toulouse goose? or a too loose goose?
*snorts blue moon* rofl
Ru, you just want to be chased by a female anything! :D
hi cos
i had a poor night and a ticket on topof it all
hi cos
sorry, owl. speeding?
Hi Cos:)
Ticket Owl?
Parking I bet
parlking, all of a sudden the rules change & are not posted. U of p doesnot have a large enough endowment i guess. lot was empty
so i am drowning my sorrows in pizza and beer
i amluck indeed they did not tow me
that's cheaper than a parking ticket these days
well that's better than a moving violation - sorry you had a crappy day, though
Sorry to hear that TO, so how much is the ticket?
$70 in SF for a parking ticket
party tomorfrow
40 - 300 here
i did not look. ill think about that tomorrow.
on private property so who knows?
Enjoy your pizza and beer TO, and then you can dance it off next week
no dancing till may.
$70 dollars...i need to look up £ -$
shouldn't be too expensive, since they probably give the majority of tags to students
about 30 pounds lillian
Well you can dance around your lounge TO :)
welk, we are talking ivy leaue here. lord knows they can afford to pay them
That's about the same as here
te 7 pls?
penn state?
i meant princeton?
u of pa
nevermind - princeton's in jersey (what am i thinking)
te 7 boring and such
like tonight. how apropos
oh sorry we're boring.. see you later
tY rU
looked up g'night in greek for you, ru - all the years i waited tables in greek diners, i can say it, but can't write it without googling: καληνÏχτα
dam! can you give us the phonetics?
sure - ka-la-nicht-tah
ty.
I love Greece.we used to go to corfu twice a year when the bairn was little...we spoke a bit, but i don't know how to write it
how are you = tay-kan-iss
so, where can i get the bunny avatar? because i have no f*cking idea what that was about.
i can curse a blue streak, too :)
and i am in no mood. not finishing.
bunny's been sent to you
TO...You surprised me but in a good way :)
i feelbetter if i strangle it. sorry, s crabs.
owl is a good name for her, lil - she really IS a hoot
Welki, you too..lol
yea, well i am a hoot all alone this weekend. and doing taxes enought to make anyone cranky. yet i was not taking it out on the chog
nah, i just wait for good opening lines
yes, she has great timing
no worries, owl - i did taxes last week. the sting hasn't worn off yet. i'm thinking alcohol might help
I'm alone too as the bairn is away down South at my brother's
a quiet house - good and bad, eh?
I'm missing her non-stop chatting
exactly. good and bad.
But when she's back i wont..lol
and called to say,why aren;t you here? i could strangle someone.
lol lil
i need to find my last 16 so i can go to bed
but you got a call and it sounds like you were wanted elsewhere, owl - that's not so bad
there is no reason i can discern for that and i am not playingthat. nor am i enteraining for easter.
okie dokie - i'm all for macdonald's - have it your way :)
or burger king
are they open on easter?
probably - hey! i went to white castle when i was in jersey! LOL
ah, i have gift certificates, it's all good.
I phoned her tonight twice, but she was too busy chatting to her cousin twin...
did you get onion rings?
Have KFC TO
awww, lil - i remember how that feels. you spend your life trying to grow smart, independent kids and then, when they are, it's like a kick in the stomach
i'll have anything i don;t have to cook thinking ham from boston market
yes, onion rings, clams and burgers and shakes
clams? they have clams?
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today
next to fresh or howard johnson's (which probably doesn't exist anymore), they're finer than fine
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!

I keep going back to my lamb cam and i feel sorry for the ewe that had twins as she wants to lie down and rest and they want run about
It doesn't help that she is in the big pen with all the ewes so she has to keep an eye on them so another ewe doesn't pinch one of hers, even though they are ready to drop

I sw 5/18 that I would never watch sports on TV, but then started to watch Basketball.It is the only sport that I like. I can watch Basketball for ho 5/14. I would ra 5/12r watch Basketball than any other sport. I wish I could take a ri4/5 to an NBA game and go into their locker room. I wouldn't care about the od 4/5 or the smell. I used to play Basketball myself.I was a good th7/48 & could th 5/20 the ball into the ho 4/6. Husband has op5/14 to use computer.Husband is br5/16ing over my babbling and has a do 4/6 look on his face. He ha 4/5s it when I babble. He keeps raising his eye br 5/22 as if to say Are you done yet? He is such a br 4/6! He gets me so mad that I have to remind myself th4/6 shall not kill!I am going to give him computer so we don't get into a he 6/24 argument and I have to suffer his wr 5/20. I am going to go watch the movie Boyz n the Ho 4/6. I am su4/5 to come back tomorrow. Goodnite babblers
