2:04 am

np, Pugs and thanks Flosey

2:05 am

enjoy Liz

2:05 am

Hi Rose - cool greeting.

2:05 am

How are you all today?

2:06 am

Iam good

2:06 am

it's amazing, greek orthodox easter, our easter and passover all fall together this year.

2:06 am

Can see when car arrives from the window in here, so I'll stick around until they arrive! I could say until I get fireworks but that ain't going to happen yet!

2:06 am

doing well here also

2:06 am

It's good when they all work out together.

2:07 am

Glad to hear that and to see that Flosey's feeling better too.

2:07 am

no it isn't, cause i usually get to celebrate all three...

2:07 am

thanks Liz, was a long haul, but finally on top of it

2:08 am

you will just have to have one big celebration then

2:08 am

Well you still can! 8 days for Passover and only on day 3!

2:09 am

i'm afraid my poor tummy wouldn't take it.

2:09 am

Well celebrate in moderation then!

2:09 am

Or celebrate in full and suffer afterwards!

2:12 am

Liz your guest that are coming are they celebrating with you or there to just visit

2:12 am

Just visiting - suspect there's a golf championship locally.

2:13 am

But perhaps it's a celebration - I guess there'll be a lot of talk of our Canada / Alaska holiday.

2:25 am

Liz, is this holiday something in the future? or a happy memory

2:26 am

Last year, Flosey - July. Sadly because we were on an organised tour, we weren't able to catch up with you or Jilli - we had no spare time in Vancouver or Victoria.

2:26 am

And it's a great memory.

2:27 am

ah, it must be, I've never seen Alaska - I do have a vague memory of you talking about a trip

2:27 am

I'd've loved longer there - great cities. Though couldn't believe how much Vancouver had grown, since I was there in the 70s.

2:28 am

I'd really recommend the Inside Passage Cruise, if you could do it. It's amazing.

2:29 am

oh, that's for sure - we lived in Vancouver 1 school year, l962-3 - back then I didn't think of driving anywhere, now I don't even know my way around anymore

2:30 am

When my dad worked there, you could see the green roof of the hotel Vancouver from the North Shore - not now - just a wall of glass!

2:30 am

was talking about that cruise with daughter - she was trying to plan a girlie time, don't think it's going to happen

2:31 am

If you could make it happen, I'm sure you wouldn't regret it.

2:32 am

we'll see - do plan on another Ontario run late summer - a Cousins get-together - We cousins are it now, non of the previous generation left

2:33 am

Girlie time?

2:33 am

I'm sure that will be fun too.

2:33 am

yes, some I haven't seen in many years, like, maybe 20+

2:34 am

good morning all :)

2:34 am

That will make it a very special trip.

2:34 am

daughters and dils, ru

2:34 am

Hi Sprite :)

2:34 am

hi there Sprite

2:34 am

good morning Sprite :)

2:35 am

*hugs flosey and Liz and pugs and ruru*

2:35 am

pugs, forgot to say in my email: loved the silly picture of the cat!

2:35 am

Hiya sprite

2:36 am

thanks--I thought it was cute

2:37 am

so... how are you all today?

2:37 am

Iam good

2:38 am

All's fine here, thanks. And you?

2:38 am

and what about you Sprite

2:38 am

Crappy here

2:38 am

hello sprite. did your parcel arrive?

2:38 am

things are looking up here, best day I've had for about a month

2:38 am

are you sick Ru

2:39 am

Ok - guests arrived. Speak soon.

2:39 am

enjoy liz

2:39 am

am pretty good. Appt with psychologist in an hour, we are gonna see if we can wrap up the sessions this year. And my te4ager son apologised for his rotten behaviour earlier this week, so that is a good thing :)

2:39 am

bye Liz, have a good time

2:39 am

bye Liz, have fun

2:39 am

what is ailing you, ruru?

2:39 am

No i had to pay taxes yesterday

2:40 am

oh wow flosey, that is awesome! Am so glad :)

2:40 am

wow, sprite. what a turn around!!!

2:40 am

ugh, ruru...nothing worse than handing over money, and seeing nothing in return.

2:40 am

*hugs rose* Hello my darling! Yes, talked with him yesterday afternoon and it went totally rotten. But after work he came to me and said he wanted to make a 'real' apology :)

2:41 am

whats a few pennies to you--lol

2:41 am

ouch ruru.... yeah that sucks. Wish it was a no cure no pay situation... wouldn't they start working for real then!

2:42 am

Pennies would have been great

2:42 am

did he have a bad day at school Sprite and took it out on you

2:43 am

I don't know, pugs. He did take something out on me, not sure what. Might be trouble with his girfriend... just a feeling I have. But when they are 18 they don't tell you everything anymore, sigh.

2:45 am

I see you moved to Greece, ruru? Better tax climate? :)

2:45 am

something must of happen for he had been doing good--you may be right but it still makes for a cruddy day

2:46 am

FW and now bedtime, goodnight all - last words un6/24

2:47 am

just watching prince william and katie in the blue mountains, NSW. they are such a lovely couple. showing genuine concern for our bush-fire wictims.

2:47 am

wtg flosey! And sleep well, and may tomorrow be even better than today was for you.

2:47 am

WTG FLOSEY!!! sweet dreams, dear

2:47 am

congrats and good night Flosey

2:48 am

they are a nice couple Rose

2:48 am

yes rose, they are fun to watch - so much freer than the previous generation

2:48 am

yeah pugs, indeed. I have told him a thousand times that if he wants us to allow for him to be in a rotten mood, he has to tell us that something put him in that mood. That he cannot expect the world to allow for that unless he takes responsibility. Sigh. Will they ever learn?

2:48 am

I like them too, rose

2:49 am

when they turn 50, sprite...lol

2:49 am

lol, ok, I won't give up hoping then ;) How did your baby sit adventure go?

2:50 am

oh yeah, I forgot about that

2:50 am

was great, thanx. don is such a fantastic grandpa. he sat and played games with deacon on the computer.

2:51 am

awesome!

2:51 am

don was gob-smacked when deacon asked for his own profile on the computer.

2:52 am

did he get it? lol

2:52 am

i could hear the pair of them giggling away together.

2:53 am

of course he did, pugs. don is such a push-over when it comes to the kids.

2:53 am

that sounds so good! So the boys kept eachother busy and you could relax a bit?

2:53 am

yes, sprite.

2:56 am

I can imagine how this will progress... rose calling up deacon's pa7: "Please can deacon come soon? I need a day off...*

2:56 am

lolol....how did you guess? i am already plotting...er...planning another 'deacon' day.

2:56 am

gradyn is on spring break this upcoming week and wants to come and stay. Due to having to go to the surgeon monday I cant answer him yet to if he can or not. But Iam hoping it works that he can

2:57 am

oh that would be great, pugs. And he will be in so much better shape than last time.

2:58 am

He will and hes doing so good in school too

2:58 am

am so glad things turned out ok for him, pugs. I know you worried a lot. Is his mum still somewhere in the picture?

2:59 am

she was the last I talked to his dad--they were going to take her back to court due to having trouble with her again

3:00 am

I cannot understand that woman. If she doesn't want any of the responsibilities of being a mother, why demand any rights?

3:00 am

the last time Gradyn stayed W as a real ass to him and Iam a bit leery having him come

3:01 am

only when she wants that roll it seems

3:01 am

she is truly weird

3:01 am

hm, that sucks too, pugs. But maybe with you standing up to W more, things will go bettr.

3:02 am

better*

3:02 am

gradyn does not want to ever go or wants anything to do with her and right now he has little choice

3:03 am

at which age can he legally decide not to see her anymore?

3:03 am

here its 12

3:03 am

good question, sprite

3:03 am

and he is 10?

3:03 am

yes

3:04 am

I expect the judge to take Gradyn's wishes into account then. He is so ne4 that legal age already.

3:05 am

at 12 he can say if he wants to go or not

3:07 am

its suppose to be in the 70's all next week!

3:07 am

oh how lovely, pugs. Finally.

3:08 am

yeah I know! I hope we have seen the last of this snow and cold temps

3:09 am

sprite, did you answer me before? has your parcel arrived, yet, dear?

3:09 am

I have to go, friends, sorry. Will be back after the psychiatrist appointment.

3:09 am

rose, no not yet!

3:09 am

good luck with it

3:10 am

okay, thanx hun

3:10 am

bye Sprite

3:10 am

hope your appointment goes well, dear

3:17 am

Rose are you having your heartattack hamburger tonight? This is thursday

3:19 am

no hun, grilled lamb chops....and tomorrow a norwegian cod casserole i only make once a year.

3:20 am

is the casserole for church

3:21 am

will have take-away saturday, and on sunday we are going out for dinner with son simon, lucinda and all 5 kids.

3:21 am

oh that will be nice---are you still going to the park sunday with the family

3:21 am

tomorrow is almost a funeral service. the church will have all ornament, candles, flowers, linens removed.

3:22 am

no, hun. too many of them are unavailable. but it's okay. we will catch up with them another time.

3:23 am

so you are not having a egg hunt then

3:23 am

well those five kids will keep you busy and entertained-lol

3:23 am

not this year. we will at church on sunday.

3:37 am

e

3:37 am

Hi marigold

3:38 am

hi everyone

3:38 am

hey mari. how are you, hun?

3:39 am

i am good

3:40 am

lovely to hear, dear

3:41 am

I think might i have carpol tunnel

3:43 am

oh, dear, mari. been there, hun. the surgery is relatively simple. the diagnostic test is painless.

3:43 am

Iam heading out of here until later--good night Rose and hugs and wish you a good day Mari---take care E1

3:43 am

xoxox, pugs

3:43 am

good to no

3:45 am

mari, you need to have the diagnostic test, first. your GP should be able to request it. the surgery? look for a plastic surgeon who specialises in hands.

3:46 am

I have been messaging my hands. That makes them feel a little. better.

3:47 am

mari, please don't leave it too late. my mother did...and ended up with a limp hand with no feeling in it.

3:50 am

does it ever come back. even after you have surgery

3:55 am

mari, i am nearly 10 years post-op. not back yet.

3:56 am

I have heard that it can happen again

3:57 am

mari, if the surgery is not done correctly the first time, it will re-occur.

3:58 am

I will go to the doctor If It doesn't feel better soon

3:59 am

carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the channel through which the carpal tendon runs, thickens, and the tendon gets stuck and won't move smoothly.

4:00 am

there is also a nerve involvement. hence the loss of sensation which happens.

4:01 am

mari, as soon as you start to lose sensation, please, please, act, and act fast.

4:03 am

thank you very much for the info. I think I will call my doctor

4:03 am

good for you, mari

4:09 am

good morning

4:12 am

((rosie))

4:12 am

hello my darling

4:14 am

have your email. don is giving me the absolute irrits. he claims to forget stuff, but he is only just about to turn 60. i think it's all an act. i could throttle him sometimes...lol

4:16 am

i really feel he is not making any effort. and if i, god forbid, forget something, it ia an occasion for losing his temper, and all sorts of accusations.

4:23 am

I lost one set of keys and will never hear the end of it, so I know what you mean! But Don is so young to have memory issues.

4:24 am

that's what i mean, ruby. i think it's all a put-on. he does not want to make the effort.

4:25 am

Maybe he thinks you were getting too much attention through all your physical trials and needs some coddling

4:27 am

yeah, good point. when we were married, i poured out attention on him...he is a pretty good hypochondriac...lately, i have thought, hey, i'm the one trying to recover from bone surgery...give me some support and sympathy, please.

4:28 am

I think B. resents it when I hear from my son or my sister, although he pretends not

4:29 am

oh, that too, ruby. my kids keep in contact with me, voluntarily...his kids need a swift kick to contact him.

4:30 am

*sigh* for goodness sake! get over it!!

4:30 am

exactly

4:30 am

not you, ruby,. don!!

4:30 am

they both need crossy's big foot

4:31 am

!

4:31 am

hey crossy??? we need your big foot....please

4:32 am

big foot, is that some kind of euphanizim

4:33 am

ohhh, my goodness! look what the cat dragged in!! g'day sir joso.

4:33 am

when I whine, crossy always sasys he should come and straighten out my husband lol

4:33 am

and hello, joso

4:33 am

g'day rose, ruby

4:33 am

crossy is going to be very busy...globe-trotting.

4:35 am

umm, joso? you might want to go into your profile. your icon looks nothing like you, crossy and flosey...lolol

4:35 am

just found a nifty po7, horse-related, I think

4:36 am

see you later, kids, on our way to lunch. I have to pick mint for the bartender.

4:36 am

nice, ruby. always good to keep the bartender in good spirits...lolol

4:36 am

hahah

4:37 am

I only left that icon up for a few days, seemed too much like rubbing salt into wounds to leave it up

4:37 am

enjoy the meal ruby

4:40 am

here tomorrow is Good Friday. we start the day with hot cross buns. then a church service, when the church is stripped of all ornamentation. the service is funereal. no red or white meat..only fish tomorrow. i make a special casserole of norwegian cog and rice.

4:41 am

*cod*...sorry

4:41 am

gears and cogs are good fiber

4:41 am

well certainly lots of iron....

4:43 am

will be good friday here too, but being a heathen I don't do anything about it

4:45 am

np's joso. each to his own. no judgement from me. just allow me to celebrate the way i would like to do.

4:45 am

same view here

4:46 am

good!!! we are in agreement. how nice is that?

4:46 am

so i gather your recovery is coming along well, I hear you've decided to return to work

4:47 am

back :)

4:47 am

hi sprite

4:47 am

hi joso *hugs* Great to see you. How have you been?

4:47 am

joso, i am going to attempt a return to work, starting the 29th april, for 2 hours only.

4:47 am

{{sprite}} how did it go?

4:47 am

I'm good now, the surgery seems to have done wonders

4:48 am

nice to see, joso. three cheers from me.

4:48 am

awesome. We talked things through and we both think we can start wrapping things up. No unresolved issues left. Have decided to give it a few more sessions, talking things through, evaluating the therapy. Been with her for years and years.

4:48 am

am so glad, joso.

4:49 am

awww, love...what a mile-stone. {{hugs}}

4:49 am

oooh sprite, time to take off life's training wheels, that's teriffic

4:49 am

isn't it? :D Am a bit high, lol, it gave me such a boost.

4:51 am

sprite...please slow down....smell the coffee and the roses...you do have great cause to feel high...but gently pull yourself up...and reflect...

4:52 am

oh, am gonna make myself some coffee after this grid, good idea!

4:52 am

xoxox sprite

4:52 am

:D

4:53 am

you've earned it, self examination is one of the toughest things to do, a few well deserved victory laps are absolutly in order

4:53 am

i am dancing...in my head...it is such an achievement.

4:54 am

thanks :) I have come a long way. I am by no means finished, but hell, nobody ever is. Am happy to be me and to be in this skin.

4:55 am

and that is a wonderful feeling, sprite. to be comfortable, in your own skin...

4:55 am

well you've been working hard too rose, technicly heart trumps knee, but my cure was so easy for me, and you are still working hard on yours

4:56 am

it sure is. Oh, and she also confirmed that the trainer where I want to learn family constellations is a very good therapist and a very wise woman.

4:56 am

*smiling* thanx joso. not a lot of people recognise that.

4:57 am

there is no use in compairing, if you ask me. You both are doing splendidly, given the hands you got dealt.

4:57 am

ooohhh, yay, sprite.

4:58 am

hey!!! we are supported...by all who are on babble...and it is so gratefully accepted.

5:00 am

{{crossy}} rose and my husbands need some "crossy hard talk"

6:38 am

hi button

6:38 am

hello car.!!

6:38 am

today is the first day of camping for the spring break

6:39 am

babs" I'll ask my son who also lives in Austin. I don't think he's much o a gardener, though lol

6:40 am

lol, take them both and tosss them into your fish pond, ruby

6:40 am

I love camping, in a 36 foot 5th wheel with heat, air, satellite tv, & I am trying out a wifi antenna I made from an old satellite dish to capture wifi from a distance. oh, camping...I love it

6:40 am

Babs, I live in College Station but I lived for 45 years in California before retiring back to Tex

6:40 am

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!! Men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women! .. crossy looks for his lightning rod hat...

6:41 am

Yay!

6:41 am

nice Suefrad! Sounds heavenly!

6:41 am

howdy buttonman

6:41 am

that's because they are more likely to have tin foil on their heads to keep out the aliens.

6:41 am

it is, oh and did I mention no kids until Monday!

6:42 am

that sounds like a good kind of camping. Tents? I don't think so.....

6:42 am

Take...me...with...you!

6:42 am

car lol

6:42 am

I am not a camper, but I could totally do an RV!

6:42 am

it's the tinfoil every time!

6:42 am

I think you are pretty close to me. I am in NC

6:42 am

car, do you not get it yet? we ARE the aliens! remember? Men are from mars...

6:42 am

Howdy Cross

6:42 am

To quote an anonymous source "Bolts, dolts and volts are a bad combination"

6:43 am

Hahahahm Molly, and hello

6:43 am

Of course, Crossy! TY for reminding me!

6:43 am

my brother lives in MT and told me that he has to take a shot gun when they go camping because of the wild animals. I told I completely understand. I have to take my Kurig because I am an animal before coffee.

6:44 am

Hello Molly! Hello Babs! Hello again everyone! {{group}}

6:44 am

Atta girl Sue!

6:45 am

I spent one night in a tent in Alaska and there were bear paw prints jut outside it when I got up in the AM

6:45 am

This is as country as I want to be

6:45 am

I've never quite understood the allure of camping. I have this affection for indoor plumbing. : )

6:46 am

yes, that is worse than the wild animals

6:46 am

Word.

6:46 am

Stats please for the L?

6:46 am

lol, sue, ever since my brother moved down to Las vegas , he has gone hand gun crazy. We were talking camping one day and he goes on to say how he can now carry and carry concealed and has 5 handguns to bring. Just in case of animal attack. I said "yup, you never know when the chance will come up to go into overkill mode there, Rambo"

6:47 am

la 5/10

6:47 am

he's not invited, crossy!

6:47 am

no, he can play with his guns elsewhere

6:49 am

clue please?

6:50 am

la5---man's name

6:50 am

6:50 am

6:51 am

hi (((ruby)))

6:51 am

Hi Annie!

6:51 am

but I monkeyed it anytway

6:51 am

Hi car. :)

6:56 am

hello again :-)

7:00 am

la5 is an alternate spelling of the word with an I at the end. And (of course) it's an obsolete coinage used around the Arabian sea. Those Enable dudes are just plain weird.

7:01 am

Hi Une!

7:02 am

heya, car :-)

7:02 am

Wicked pissa Molly! Thanks!

7:11 am

Hold on...after you change a baby's diaper, don't you repant them?

7:12 am

One would hope so

7:12 am

I got the 10 too

7:12 am

Otherwise, there would be a bunch of naked babies running around!

7:12 am

WTG Annie!

7:12 am

WICKED SMAHT t-shirt for Annie too

7:13 am

7:14 am

You know what they say Annie, small, attainable goals : D

7:14 am

7:14 am

Have a great day Crossy!

7:14 am

bye crossy

7:21 am

Looks like fun is being had all around here

7:23 am

What? Us? Have fun? Nah, we are a serious and somber bunch. : P

7:24 am

I am still shaken by the chat from yesterday afternoon

7:24 am

What happened?

7:25 am

Soodle was here and talking. I feel for her. Luckily River will be there soon

7:25 am

I hope all is well with Soodle.

7:25 am

She is so very nice.

7:25 am

We all are sending our best wishes to her

7:25 am

bbl

7:26 am

Oh dear. I don't know what is up, but I will send prayers and good thoughts her way.

7:26 am

You can look in her profile

7:28 am

Good Morning Everyone

7:28 am

Hi River

7:29 am

I just mentioned you and your upcoming trip to Ireland

7:29 am

I sent soodle an email last night - I hope to get a response soon. I just missed her on Babble.

7:29 am

her profile isn't up--can you share what is the matter? (hi, all.)

7:30 am

I can't find her in the rankings.

7:30 am

I'll find it and copy and paste - brb

7:30 am

Hi River!

7:30 am

Hi RoundBarn!

7:30 am

go to rankings, hit Control F, type Soodle in and you will find it Roundbarn

7:31 am

You can send her an email to wish her well

7:32 am

Soodle has removed the story from her profile. And I think it best we not discuss her personal issues here.

7:32 am

I agree Molly.

7:32 am

yes she did remove it

7:33 am

Sorry, was just talking in general

7:33 am

since it is not public any more I dont feel confortable telling her story

7:33 am

I need some more puppy advice, if anyone has the time.

7:34 am

I know Bich, no worries. It's just that the whole thing was brought up and discussed in chat and I think personal issues are only for the person going through them to share.

7:34 am

I agree Molly

7:35 am

I do, been through many puppies

7:35 am

Whining. Gak. Driving me nuts. I ignore it, but how do I get him to stop it?

7:35 am

At night it is really bad.

7:36 am

How old is the puppy? If he was just separated from his mother, that is natural.

7:36 am

four months and he has been with us for a month.

7:36 am

How about a hot water bottle to remind him of his mother's heat.

7:36 am

We tried his crate in our bedroom last night and it was even worse.

7:37 am

4 months is old enough to be separate from his mother. We've always slept with our dogs, but I wouldn't suggest that if you don't want to do it forever

7:38 am

I wouldn't have his crate in your room if that made it worse.

7:38 am

he is not fully potty trained and the cats eat the food in our bedroom, so I cannot let him just be free

7:39 am

Right now, for instance, he is in his play area behind me. The cat was just there and he is whining for the cat, who has now moved on. I am ignoring him, but I would like him to stop whining.

7:39 am

I have to do something for a while. Can he sleep with the cats? I will be back after breakfast

7:39 am

How about some chew toy?

7:39 am

Go eat! I will catch up with you later.

7:39 am

he has one

7:40 am

Time for me to work anyway!

7:47 am

bichon, I want to write to Soodle but I dont want to be insensitive. I just would like to know if anyone passed away in her family so I would know what to say.

7:47 am

No one passed away Annie

7:48 am

Thank you River

7:51 am

going to make breakfast - bbl

7:54 am

10:27 am

I am going to lie down. lol

10:27 am

The whole turnip thing is probably going to go right over the heads of most Americans. We just call them turnips here.

10:28 am

sorry jaxx

10:28 am

We need Lilliann

10:28 am

L is the only reason I know you all call them swedes.

10:28 am

It is an old word, not much used now

10:30 am

No swedes and turnips are quite different. Swedes give an orange veg while turnips give white peppery flesh

10:31 am

4th column E?

10:31 am

Swedes are often called mangle worzels, just to confuse you even more, Molly. It's a British thing

And as Bob Seger would say "they love to watch her strut"

anyone here use yahoo mail?

11:04 am

I do

do you use basic orno ads? i can no longer trust beingable to logout and since i oftenuse that mail n a public library i am wary

11:07 am

I use basic. I would never, ever use my email on a public computer and not sign out. You open yourself up to a world of hurt that way.

nor would i. isign ou even at home. but the placement of ads makes it impossible more often than not.

trying to sign out orfailing that to go to profile, just opens an ad.

11:09 am

The sign out function in Yahoo mail is a drop down, from under your name at the top. The ads don't interfere with it.

they do for me, especially the last week.

my name is on the upper right and opening the dropdown menu and clicking opens the ad. perhaps i need to see if i can set my mouseing to single click.

11:14 am

That is your problem. Your mouse should always be set to single click.

it is. but

oh well, need to get moving. late nights last two nights, i am off my game.

11:23 am

12:43 pm

My rain pants fit over my regular pants and have ****s to close them

12:43 pm

hmm, I remember baby clothes -- barely

12:44 pm

I don't think sn's were invented yet

12:44 pm

lol...I was thinking of purses, backpacks...

12:44 pm

Ah yes. There's nothing so soothing as the sound of jackhammers. The road crew working in front of our building is really digging to China I think.

12:45 pm

Not nice, Judi..i have had that for several nights here..while they are replacing the lamposts with new ones..you have my sympathy.

12:45 pm

as soothing as my dog hysterically barking at the neighbor's obnoxious cats

12:46 pm

he's not a barky dog, but they taunt him

12:46 pm

*singing* I feel the ea5 move under my feet...

12:46 pm

I feel the sky tumbling down (singing too)

12:47 pm

ty for the clue and for planting that lovely ea*worm

12:48 pm

Zoom, they jackhammer at night? Is there no noise ordinance?

12:48 pm

clues for n in second column?

12:49 pm

looks like not, Molly, And this is from 10pm- 4am...so annoying.

12:49 pm

that's awful, zzoozz!

12:49 pm

That's awful Zoom.

12:49 pm

They say they can not do it during the day as too much traffic.

12:49 pm

Clue for an 5,10 before the a ,6,18?

12:49 pm

*Ruby and I are sharing a brain today*

12:50 pm

half a brain is better than none

12:50 pm

That's horrible, Zooz. I'd complain.

12:50 pm

NE 5/10 it is only a plural, Enomis.

12:50 pm

Looks like he has no one to complain to since "they" say they can't do it during the day.

12:51 pm

Which is BS, they just need to divert the traffic.

12:51 pm

I complained about our mail being misdelivered to a parallel street (and the reverse) and the postman came whining to me today, saying I should have come to him. If I ever saw him, I would have, but it was twice in one week

12:51 pm

It is only for 4 nights and this is the final night..i hope.

12:51 pm

"they" always screw things up

12:52 pm

Sounds like your postman needs to learn to read street signs. Or "Rue" signs, as it were.

12:52 pm

4 nights of jackhammering would have me screaming in the street

12:53 pm

He's new but it's such a cushy job here, he should be more careful. They have nifty little yellow cars. Our last carrier kept her little dog in a mail carton on the passenger seat

12:55 pm

No excuse, Ruby, lol..if he can not read the street signs hate to think how he manages to read the addresses on the envelopes.

12:55 pm

Pffth. The US postal service is still driving trucks from 1940 something. Plus I think some of the employees actually compete with DMV employees to see who can be the most apathetic, rude and lazy.

12:55 pm

te 6/24, please?

12:56 pm

Do you still have Saturday delivery?

12:56 pm

Not sure who you are asking, Ruby, but we do here in the UK.

12:56 pm

Yep. And they still have express delivery on Sunday.

12:56 pm

I read that they were stopping it in the US

12:57 pm

Well Judi, since the postal service and the DMV refuse to hire anyone but minority workers, it limits the possibility of a friendly work force.

12:57 pm

feel fortunate. Everything here is going to super mailboxes at the end of the block. No more door to door. want your mail? get ready for a walk!

12:57 pm

year ago, when I spent some time in Paris, there were 2 deliveries a day

12:58 pm

It's being threatened. I could care less. Less junk mail.

12:58 pm

Not that all minority workers are unfriendly, but when you know you are getting handed a job, your capacity for being friendly is small.

12:58 pm

here, they're not minorities, they just ca't read

12:58 pm

but they probably type better than I do lol

12:59 pm

te +( a wired letter) or a teleg****

12:59 pm

Supposedly the DMV and USPS do criminal background checks before hiring. However, I've seen some highly "suspect" employees. Even if they are "clean", their sense of entitlement is criminal.

12:59 pm

I love real mail and since my sister (in NY) oesn't have a computer, I get mail from her

1:00 pm

Snail mail!

My mail carrier is a twenty year vet getting ready to retire. He has nothing good to say about the new round of employees who got their jobs just because of what they checked on the application under "race".

1:10 pm

I help our postal employees. I save all the junk mail, including all those 3rd class postage paid, bulk return envelopes. Now when I get enough junk mail, I put it all in a box, grab a return envelope at random, tape it to the box, and mail the entire thing to one of those who sent it all in the first place. (remember, there is no weight restriction on those bulk pre-paid envelopes) Keeps our valued postal workers working and I do not fill up my recycle box quite as fast.

1:12 pm

thanks nan

Those clues were for Nicky...just incase people think i am giving random clues..lol

1:24 pm

any help is useful

1:24 pm

Bless you Zoom. Thank you for never giving random clues. : )

1:25 pm

:-)

1:26 pm

There is no rule against random cluing

1:28 pm

I like your icon, o-o

1:28 pm

none that I know of. May have to dig out the big babble codex of rules.. not sure who had it last though...

1:29 pm

Yes, but the object of the game (according to the HELP section) is: To list as many words of the highest point value as YOU can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid.

1:30 pm

true but it doesn't specify how you are to find them :-)

1:30 pm

well. it is perfectly clear then e?> No cluing ever right?

1:30 pm

lots of grey area in that

1:30 pm

So that's what we're all doing here.

1:31 pm

hi hego!

1:31 pm

Hello, Hego :-)

1:31 pm

Hi All :)

1:32 pm

There are no rules here. Everyone is free to play the way they want. I never said anything about "rules" in my comment to Zoom.

1:32 pm

there. now it is all clear ne4= Hawaiian goose;)))

1:32 pm

someone else said rules.

1:33 pm

like the pirates code; more guidelines than rules;))

1:33 pm

<---not real good with rules

1:33 pm

Heintje- Mama- I love that song.

1:33 pm

I tried rules once..

1:34 pm

didn't like them, right?

1:34 pm

I think even the original "guidelines" or "agreed upon rules" have screwed the pooch. Used to be there was no cluing or stat giving at the flip. That seems to be a bygone thing.

1:34 pm

though I did keep the rule not to eat yellow snow or spit into the wind

1:35 pm

lol, Crossy.

1:35 pm

those are good rules, Crossy.

1:35 pm

I noticed that, Molly; that's one that seems to have vanished recently

1:35 pm

and there used to be one about not giving away the third letter.

1:36 pm

My sister did throw my original fathers ashes into the air and they went straight into her face..i must admit..it was rather amusing.

1:36 pm

generally if you see STAT in nice bold letters, just give that, otherwise clue the heck out of that babblet!

1:36 pm

Scattering ashes is a very tricky business.

1:37 pm

And not as easy as it may seem.

1:37 pm

I advised the mrs to put my ashes into a decorative egg timer.

1:37 pm

It's unfortunate that people don't pay attention to the instructions given about scattering ashes.

1:37 pm

lol

1:39 pm

"think i shall hunt down a nice cuppa tea..brb

1:40 pm

imagines Crossy in full hunting gear slinking through the kitchen.

1:40 pm

Ooh Crossy, That's it i will have to make a cup of tea now..bbl

1:48 pm

OK got my tea with the addition of Fox's melts (viennese chocolate finger biscuits)

Nice pic, Seain!

2:29 pm

hi, hego and zooz.

2:29 pm

2:35 pm

2:42 pm

can I have a hint for the re6,7 pls

2:43 pm

RE + work for money

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

Yes it is the double vowel that makes it easy to miss.

2:44 pm

that's what gets me.

3:02 pm

ea8 is funny.. hi all, 3 left, finishing.. too busy today for chat, hate that

3:02 pm

Hi Aloy

3:03 pm

howdy hego

3:03 pm

Hello, Aloy :-)

3:03 pm

hi zooz

3:06 pm

are you guys getting commercials playing in the background when you use morewords on Babble Expert? I sure am

3:09 pm

just turned the volume off

3:10 pm

Morewords is an ad free site. Something is not right if you are getting ads there.

3:10 pm

hi Molly, bet I have a bug.. will do a spybot check

3:11 pm

hi again, back for a few more

3:12 pm

hi smores

3:12 pm

hey Aloy

3:12 pm

Hello, Smores :-)

3:13 pm

Spybot is kind of an antique spyware. Might be a good idea to get something newer.

3:13 pm

my last one is the first en7.28.. maybe if I ask for a clue I will find it

3:13 pm

oh, what do you recommend, Molly?

3:13 pm

I have ccleaner too

3:14 pm

found it! yay

3:15 pm

was looking the wrong way, per usual, lol

3:15 pm

Congrats, Aloy!

3:15 pm

I use Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentails. Ccleaner just cleans your hard drive. It has nothing to do with malware or viruses.

3:15 pm

ty zooz

3:16 pm

ok, so I guess I'll have to pay, sigh.. have been using a free version of spybots

3:16 pm

WTG Aloy

3:17 pm

No, both of the programs I mentioned have free versions.

3:17 pm

thanks for the info, Molly. Must run now, hopefully a less crowded day tomorrow.. ciao, everyone, poof

3:17 pm

I use McAfee & the payed version of spybot..i think it is still a very good product.

3:18 pm

oh, hotdog.. good news.

3:18 pm

and ty smores.. ok, am really gone

3:18 pm

Have a good day, Aloy :-)

4:24 pm

Yep, people miss simple words like that all the time. : D

4:25 pm

No, it's just what happens sometimes. : )

4:25 pm

can I have a clue for the 1st th?

4:27 pm

Alternate spelling for ____ The Looking Glass

4:27 pm

4:33 pm

os?

4:33 pm

5:05 pm

5:07 pm

Goodnight Ruby, swwet dreams and tc.I didn't know you were here

5:14 pm

You have to look in the bushes L. That is where people lurk.

5:17 pm

Aye, but when i lurk and don't chat at all i don't come and say bye or fireworks when i haven't spoken...but then that's me

5:18 pm

HI ... bye .. *relurk*

5:19 pm

Hi Ru, my little sarcastic friend:)

5:20 pm

me? sarcastic?

5:20 pm

No, never....

5:20 pm

Say hello to my little friend

5:21 pm

Well, i've never met him, he could big or small!!

5:21 pm

In height that is...

5:22 pm

That's a line from the movie Scarface L.

5:23 pm

I've never seen it...it doesn't sound like my type of film

5:24 pm

Probably not. Guys love it. It's dark, gory and violent.

5:24 pm

I ain't little that's for sure

5:25 pm

it's an okay film.. not Pacino's best

5:26 pm

I love the helicopter touring scene though :D

5:26 pm

<----sicko

5:27 pm

Our very own Dr. Demento. Oh wait, that's someone else. : P

5:27 pm

I think it was on Sky here a few weeks ago and i read the highlights but it wasn't for me...i like some violent and gory things

5:27 pm

yeah.. you'd have to past tense that one molly

5:36 pm

it's a pretty violent film in parts lillian

5:36 pm

especially the hotel scene with the bathtub

5:37 pm

I want to know what violent and gory things L likes. (Maybe I don't)

5:38 pm

When i was watching something else and the adverts came on i did watch bits of that film, and then turn it back

5:39 pm

I generally don't like gory movies either

5:40 pm

..and I don't lurk in bushes :D

5:41 pm

I don't watch overly violent things.Some of the British films can be violent.i can't think of the one or two with Jason Statham and they were too much for me...I don't want to see men's heads knocked off their shoulders by baseball bats or kicked to death...i know that has happened in real life but i don't want to see it in a film

5:41 pm

Do you oogle? Do you notice people?

5:42 pm

I like Bones, especially when i'm eating my dinner:)

5:42 pm

I did like the Nightmare on Elm Street films

5:42 pm

LOL

5:43 pm

*gets papertowels .. h20 accident*

5:44 pm

:)

5:44 pm

Bones has gotten boring. And it's lost it's gore appeal.

5:44 pm

glad I read your comment carefully and recognized the tv show :D

5:45 pm

What series do you have now as we are normally behind ...with the series...(as Ru is here)

5:47 pm

OMG, i've just realized the ammo i gave to Ru:(

5:48 pm

relax, Lilliann. Ru can fidnd ammo where others wouldn't.

5:48 pm

find even

5:48 pm

Hi, all

5:48 pm

Hi Jaxx :D

5:49 pm

well.. behind is usually the way it happens :D

5:49 pm

Got WWI sorted then?

5:49 pm

Oh, you ammo finder you.

5:49 pm

Aye you're right..he's a LITTLE ammo finder:)

5:49 pm

<---shell shocked

5:50 pm

really?

5:50 pm

Watch, next L will start using the word premature.

5:52 pm

I give up!!:)

5:52 pm

that depends on how excited she gets

5:52 pm

Oh hush. She will start talking about her hirsute cats again.

5:54 pm

no Jaxx, as the bairn wants the computor now for a few minutes...she says so she can get some pictures up.(by the way, she's not normally up this late but it is school hols and she wants to finish this project.....scrap book....it's going to be bigger than the bloody bible!!

5:55 pm

*sorry for swearing...

5:55 pm

The BBC are in full WWI mode at the moment. Your daughter should try bbc.co.uk

5:56 pm

My grandson uses worse!

5:57 pm

L, we Americans don't really consider "bloody" swearing.

5:57 pm

We've recorded them, and she's seen some of them and then got things from the internet and not written everything out in her own hand writing

6:01 pm

I said bloody in a shop today when i was telling the bairn off at the till and felt really bad, as i hate hearing parents swear at their children and up here, i've heard loads of parents f and blind at their bairns and i just want to say to them 'excuse me, can you not speak the English language without speaking'?

6:02 pm

back soon as i'm getting nagged...

6:02 pm

Several of Nigel's relatives died in WWI. His great grandmother lost three of four sons. Their names are on the local war memorial. An awful waste of good men.

6:02 pm

I find it hard to speak the English language without speaking

6:03 pm

be fuddle them, Lilli, ask them not to speak Anglo saxon swear words in front of you.

6:05 pm

it shows a lack of intelligence when they can't find descriptive words in the English language, one of the richest languages in the world.

6:07 pm

I am of the old school. I find it offensive to me when folk swear even when it is not directed at me. I turn off movies where every other word is a swear word. The English schoolgirls seem to be the worst offenders here

6:09 pm

I am finding this grid hard.

6:09 pm

*one less viewer for Martin Scorcese*

6:10 pm

Indeed

6:10 pm

And Quentin Tarantino. I'm guessing Pulp Fiction would not be Jaxx's cup of Earl Grey.

6:11 pm

yup

6:11 pm

Am back as i upset the bairn...what's new!!

6:11 pm

*i meant swearing:)

6:11 pm

Earl Grey isn't my cup of chai anyway

6:11 pm

clue for bottom row n?

6:12 pm

slang for eat

6:12 pm

grandma in Italian is no 4

6:12 pm

that's not the bottom row n

6:13 pm

thanks, ruru...very close to my name...change the a to and i...should have spotted that!!

6:14 pm

I thought Nosh was Posh's original name ? :D

6:14 pm

<joke was worth the PB penalty :D

6:14 pm

One thing she doesn't do id no4

6:15 pm

is even

6:15 pm

Jaxx, that is so sad about Nigel's grandmother's sons..One is bad enough, but 3...That poor women, what she must have gone through

6:16 pm

I really don't know. Losing three and all buried abroad as one was never found

6:16 pm

Phone..hubby

6:18 pm

That is an interesting side to WWI - the cemeteries and monuments. perhaps your daughter could research them. They are still kept so beautifully after all this time

6:20 pm

Hey Jaxx, you've been around a long time. Any interest in becoming a registered member?

6:20 pm

I have

6:21 pm

Oh, sorry. The "lack of profile" confused me.

6:21 pm

For some reason I have no profile tho I have filled one out. I get the firework display and the stats but my name remains black

6:22 pm

Grandma in Italian is a five letter word not four

6:23 pm

No4 is a sleeping sickness not an Italian grandma

6:24 pm

Molly perhaps i should contact Dr God

6:26 pm

my name is also name for grandma in some European countries so I'm told.

6:27 pm

I am getting nowhere fast with this grid. 45 left.

6:27 pm

I have a friend whose name is No4

6:29 pm

6:30 pm

It has gone past midnight here so I think I will go to my bed. Say bye to Lilliann for me. Bye all

6:30 pm

isn't it late out your way..prefer babble to sleep?

6:31 pm

I spend the day doing housework and the evening do e-mails and then babble

6:31 pm

I must go tho. Bye again

6:32 pm

what about you ruru?

6:33 pm

me?

6:33 pm

I sleep

6:33 pm

I try to wrap up babble daily however.. being a total addict

6:34 pm

I email hundreds of emails daily no matter where I am.. so it's not late here anyway. I'm just chillin' at the end of my day :D

6:35 pm

thinking about going for a walk and doing some errands

6:36 pm

I guess I like talking to myself a lot too :D

6:37 pm

You want to come color Easter eggs with us? I swear, I would do that every year even if I lived by myself.

6:38 pm

Am back..Jaxx, she has already written and has photos about the different monumnets for the dead soldiers and the missing ones and about poppies and how they came about

6:39 pm

Oh, i missed saying goodnight to Jaxx

6:39 pm

OH NO!!!!!

6:40 pm

Sign of madnees Ru...talking to yourself :D

6:40 pm

Shut up Molly!! :)

6:40 pm

*madness

6:41 pm

You never know, he might have mad knees too.

6:44 pm

..sore knees

6:45 pm

Oh that's right. Not mad knees, bad knees.

6:45 pm

all those years of begging

6:48 pm

*Cough* Probably not a good idea to get into a discussion of the causes of bad knees.

7:04 pm

I heard your boss was a new member here

7:04 pm

Lets hope he or anyone he knows babbles then Cos!

7:05 pm

Do you have legal sick days in the US. One of the strange things here, well to me at least, is that they have 2 weeks sick leave every year, so take sickies when they want.

7:05 pm

im a state employee...

7:05 pm

Glad you are feeling better Cos:)

7:05 pm

we have sickies around here all the time Liz :D

7:05 pm

HI Liz :D

7:05 pm

Hi Lilli :)

7:06 pm

oh we get a few personal days and we can save our OT pay for days when we want to call in sick

7:06 pm

Sure, you take sickies in England too - but not planned ones, where you tell them in advance that you're taking a sickie!

7:06 pm

Most employers here offer 5 to 10 days of sick leave, depending on how long you have worked the job.

7:06 pm

i get 1 sick day for every 30 days

7:06 pm

carries over to next year as well..

7:07 pm

Like my friend says, I'm taking a sickie next Monday - and tells her boss that.

7:07 pm

The phrase "take sickies" is KILLING me.

7:07 pm

I never get sick

7:07 pm

It's an Aussie phrase, I think.

7:07 pm

a co worker saved up all his sick days never calling in.. now he has enough sick days to call in sick for 6 months til he retires. nice.

7:07 pm

Or it ends in o, y or ies

7:08 pm

or an a

7:08 pm

sheila

7:08 pm

And call people with red hair, blue-y!

7:09 pm

I think it's slightly abnormal to never take a sick day

7:09 pm

that's so funny that's what we call monica lewinski

7:09 pm

I think?well it was when i worked that you got 14 days sick with pay...i'm not sure now

7:09 pm

Anyway, glad you're feeling better, Cos.

7:09 pm

I agree Molly! unhealthy too

7:09 pm

thanks liz :)

7:10 pm

I take sicko days

7:10 pm

In teaching, we could take time when we were sick but there weren't specific days. Self certification after 3 days and medical certificate from doctor after 5 days.

7:10 pm

Still got paid in full.

7:10 pm

But unless we had a doctors note we couldn't say how long we'd be off for

7:11 pm

we are allowed to call in 4 days in a row without them batting an eye

7:11 pm

I'm going to figure out how to incorporate "take a sickie" into my vocabulary. It will have nothing to do with sick days though.

7:11 pm

but the 5th day you have to have a note lol

7:11 pm

Let us know when you've figured it out, Molly.

7:11 pm

I think it's insulting for an employer to demand a doctor's note.

7:12 pm

I have a case of workers comp. and now i have to go to the doctor every 2 weeks to get the OK to stay working

7:12 pm

I agree - it means a lack of trust - but then again, I know some people who would've taken full advantage of that.

7:13 pm

a kid chipped a tooth so i had to get it fixed by the dentist .. and doing WC is soooooooo complicated.

7:13 pm

Workmen's comp is such BS. They will do anything not to pay.

7:13 pm

they surprisingly enough approved my case

7:14 pm

already had the procedure done. just have to go to follow ups

7:14 pm
