hello flosey, hope your day has been a good one.
i shall leave you two to banter for a few minutes whilst I go and get some coffee. Don't know whether caffeine is a good idea or not lmao! see u in a minute! boiiiiiinnnng!!!! xx
yes it has been rose, in spite of being up at 4:30 to get the kids off to the earliest ferry
long day for you, hun. think you will sleep tonight?
lol worzel, Coffee is what keeps me going
yes it was, so I skipped bridge tonight, figured I'd be a useless partner anyway
i'm sure you were missed, dear.
my regular partner is away on holiday, so it would mean finding someone else
one very dear chap called to see how I was, and said I was missed
there you go, the. i said you were missed.
hope to finish this tonight (71 left) off on a trip to see my Mum tomorrow. Have to get the 6:30am bus. Its a 3hr trip each way - bus/train/ferry/bus. Dtr and 2 of the g/kids will be with me
am getting cabin fever though
well done diz
that'll be a long day for you diz
sure will be, Flos
but the g/kids are good
and i'm back. and i shall sit down quietly and behave (yea, right!) xx
lol, just be yourself, worzel
nooooo - you really don't want that! it'd drive you mad! xx
I raised 4 kids, think I've seen quite a bit
phantom stipend
good one
i've found a fair few phantoms today, actually
just typed in perl, thinking of knitting, wondering why it wouldn't go in - stupid man, it's purl lmao!!!

thanks rose
have one of the wos
wo7 x 2 are plurals, the other is wo*, to court + egyptian sun god + **e down on your bed to sleep
fisrt wo7, plural of cares and woes
thanks, looking
have 2
that's confused me - i thought atum was the egyptian sun god lol x
second wo7, plural of wo6, first 4 letters of care or woe + s**, not stand
have 3 now
thanks
worzel, egyptian sun god was/is ra
see, now I just googled it and they reckon the egyptians had many sun gods, but as you say Ra was the major league player. If you ask me they were a little greedy!
nah, they were covering all their bases...lolol
worshiping cats, too. I mean, honestly! Now BACON I can understand!!!!
And there is a church in Egypt called the "Strange Church" - I kid you not - where they worship in the nude!
yum...crispy bacon, greasy fried eggs on buttery toast. * sigh * and * heart attack heaven *
lolol....wor....hope there's not a lot of bowing....imagine all that winking.
Said church also has a branch in southern USA that worship in the nude. Their theory being they have too as Jesus was naked when he was crucified. Now, I'm not religious at all, but I've seen Charlton Heston on that cross, and he had a loincloth on!
wouldn't that be a sight for sore eyes
that would save on altarations I guess
he was being modest, worzel
No, that wasn't charlton heston was it. Right film, wrong character
their theory is waaayyy out. the bible states He was left with His loincloth in place.
Has puglet been on tonight?
not since I've been on peach - about an hour x
Thanks
not that i have seen, peach. bet she's caught up with her sister's visit. probably sat up til late talking.
aha, wouldn't you know ru would show up midst this conversation
hi there peach
hope she's having a good time with her sister
evening, ruru. thought you'd be asleep by now....
do they sing from the booble or the bible?
i don't knock anyone's beliefs, as i would hope people wouldn't knock me for being a non-believer. Although I do question certain stories from the testaments. Question, but don't deny, as it's not right for anyone to do that
Hey, flosey. Bet you had a wonderful time with the children.
lmao booble!!!!! As in Michael Booble??? xx
we did peach, only 1 grandson here in BC, had an easter egg hunt for him, he loved it, was his first
Thanks, rose.
just testing my icon change
Oh, what a sweet age. Know you took lots of pictures.
think daughter did
yep it worked
we gave him the basket the day before, he promptly put it on his head with the handle under his chin
icon shows in profile, not here, diz. did the same another time you changed. then the next day, it was changed here, also.
How cute!
you have to go out and come in again for it to change
i refreshed, diz, it is here also.
bels
oh shat shorry!!
sorry, even!
Greetings Friends
hi there pugs
gooooood morning pug xx
{{hugs}} miz pugs
There she is!
xoxox, we were just talking about you, hun. how goes the visit?
Hi all of you from A-z and hugs
hugs back sweetie
brb
it didnt go too bad Rose--no op until I get rid of the infection---and he had to re-open the one on my arm again and clean it
so good and bad news, sweetie. i am sorry to hear that.
And I got this morning to the reg Doctor on the sugar check up
everything crossed that that visit goes well, too, hun
I got to go (my eyes are not focusing yet-lol
are you still on the high dose antibiotics?
I just took a reading and it was 132--so its coming down
yes :(
wow!!! good for you! and have you taken sprite's advice, and eating regularly?
I tried getting off them or at least cutting them down, but noway lol
yes, Sara is making sure--lol
So how is everyone today
good for you, pugs. i know it's a struggle, dear. but there is light at the end of the tunnel....and it ain't no train...
good, thanks pugs. Do take care of yourself
i'm doing well. did all of the week's shopping in one hit today...well almost...we had some lunch between supermarkets.
if those meds didnt make me so sick feeling it wouldnt be so bad--He said try not to take on a empty tummy--I tried that too and it dont help
glad to hear Flosey and Rose :)
pugs, can you sip your way through a glass of flavoured milk?
I dont like milk Rose--never had--cant stand the smell of it nor the taste
I guess I could put a bit of choc. in it if that will help the sickness
pugs, dear, a heaped, and i mean heaped, teaspoon of instant coffee, a heaped spoon of sweetener, or 2 sweetener tablets, a little hot water, to dissolve, then top up with skimmed milk, not full fat/cream milk.
Okay Rose, thanks I will try that
i cannot stomach full cream milk anymore. it makes me feel so ill. but this way i can have milk, which allows me to take my meds. without them making me feel sick.
I will most certainly give it a try
good morning my friends
Morning Sprite--hugs :)
*hugs to you both*
did you get your hunt in at last -lol
yes, yesterday morning was wonderful, the egg hunt was a blast, they were happy with their gifts and we had a lovely family breakfast
so happy it all went well!
did the little girl get to come
ohhh, sprite....hello my dearest girl
the little girl is 16, lol, and alas, no, she wasn't allowed to come, had to go to her grandmother's for the weekend. I hope her grandma make up for things.
lol rose... hi again... hugs again... :) Squirrel?
hi Sprite, and now with 47 to go, I'm off to bed
goodnight to all
probably....watching a brit program of new builds which are so different.
bye flosey *hugs* good job and I hope you sleep well
thanks, should!
Sprite, Rose was able to do a whole shopping trip! Isnt that wonderful
nice flosey, well done. hope you sleep well, dear.
night Flosey, take care
I am still reeling from the nude churches
oh wow rose! Great! Am so glad for you, you are really making progress now!
roflolol....and all that winking, ruru??
Hi Ruru
hey ruru, lol :) Get your head out of the gutter, ma boiiiii :)
Hey sprite i did not bring it up. Worzel did
sprite, i was a tad slower when i finished....but i have not taken any strong pain meds and all is well. no nausea, no hot/cold feelings.
thats so great Rose!
btw, my son managed to ruin the whole day by throwing a tantrum in the evening, sigh. Big big fight again. Nothing physical, but smoking in his room, music at max volume (10 pm and after) and calling me names I'd be ashamed to post here.
yes, and i timed myself. it was nearly 3 hours when we arrived home.
wow rose, am SO glad for you! Well done! And such good signs.
you poor innocent man, ruru ;)
ahh Sprite--hugs--that had to hurt and make you feel so bad--so sorry
I wonder if it is called the Church Of Fatter Day Saints
sprite, throw a bucket of cold (read freezing, with ice) water over him. for goodness sake...how old is he? tell him to grow up, already. no more pussy-footing around those tender teen feelings.
yes, and you know why he is so flipping mad at me? Because I asked him to get me a little more food on my plate and he offered me his (cold) leftovers and I said I wanted some warm stuff from the pots.
hey!! what about a squirt bottle of water, like you use to train a dog?
I say pepper spray--lol
squirt him right in the eye....naughty kid....too big to smack...
true, pugs, it does hurt, badly. He also said I should be grateful they do stuff for me, that nothing is ever good enough for me and that I never do anything for them.
Bear spray
Its not funny, and I know that had to ruin your day
bear spray sounds about good right now, sigh
totally, pugs. Rob and I cried yesterday evening.
if you dont dont do anything then why does he have a roof over his head and clothes and so on--so ungratful--bad boy!
told him I will stop doing anything for him from now on.
little twerp. tell him aunty rose is on her way....and he had better run for the hills...which will not help him any. ask ruru.
a military school might be a nice place for him-lol
not to mention the fact we have precious few hills in the netherlands, lol. That would be about halfway the country at the earliest.
How old is he?
and the worst thing was, Caya was so upset about hearing us fight that she was crying and asked if she could go to a friend. So she stayed the night at a friend's place.
he will be 18 next month, ruru
ship him over to Rose, Sprite--lol
Ah.
I'd gladly do that, pugs. But to others he is the friendliness and helpfulness itself.
C.O.D. of course. i will pull him into line so fast, his eyes will spin.
C.O.D. of course. i will pull him into line so fast, his eyes will spin.
I have a saying...
I'd love that, rose
let's have it, ruru
Hire a teenager today while they still know it all
lol :D Good one.
sprite, i mean it! if by the time i retire, which will be sometime this year, he is still misbehaving, he is coming here.
awesome, rose! Especially the news about you deciding to retire! *hugs* Am so glad you are choosing for yourself.
all that stress is not good for your family Sprite nor fair to your daughter either
Granny boot camp
I hope granny's boot will go rampant on his ass
yeah, ruru. we need a personal trainer....wanna volunteer? oh, and by the way...you didn't answer when i asked much earlier....when are you in new zealand?
I agree, pugs. It is bad all way round.
Jan 2015
Sprite, is your kids out of school for spring
hmmm, okay, ruru....wonder if we can co-ordinate this young fella's visit? what do you think ?
no pugs. They are back to school now after Easter, our Spring holiday is in May.
on second thoughts...that's too far away....
we make him run from ruru to you, rose, and back
well that will give you a little break from him and let you recooperate a bit
*send the scuba gear, sprite* lolol
ummmmm can't we 'forget' that? ;)
nah, darling...you know you love him....by the time i am finished with him, he will be begging to go home....under any conditions...
LOL Rose
I love him, it is true. Right now though, I definitely don't like him.
yeah, i know, sprite. they are such killers aren't they? you know my eldest is cut from the same cloth?
sad enough, rose, sad enough
I also have to rely on my family to do most things for me and my 20 year old son can be moody about it maybe Sprite and I should swap sons as they behave differently for others!!!
oh witchy, such a wonderful idea!
Hi witchy--good ideal
I can understand how from time to time they resent having to help out. But we didn't choose to become partly dependent either.
I just hope the rest of the week goes better for you all Sprite
and i have to share with you all. my middle son's wife is going for my jugular vein. on sunday, she was talking about young claudia...who now has a phobia re doctors and hospitals. claudia will not even allow her, lucinda, to change her, claudia's, pierced earrings. lucinda has to do it, while claudia is asleep. at the dinner table, claudia was sitting while her mother was speaking out aloud about her, claudia's, phobia. and i, commented to don. ' that's a problem'...to which don responded...it's strange, isn't it? do you think her older brothers have been telling her (claudia) stories?. because i responded to don, with my hand around my mouth, so that claudia wouldn't hear me, lucinda is accusing me of 'whispering' about her daughter( my grand-daughter ). she (lucinda)is absolutely livid.
omg rose... that is so wrong! is lucinda paranoid?
pugs, I hope so too, but this will take sorting out... lots of energy and time... again.
so what are you going to do Rose
FWs...may see you all tomorrow night after my 6 hr round trip to see my MUM.....at least I will have around 4 hrs with her.
Have a nice visit Diz, congrats too
grz dizgrannie, and good luck on your trip. All the best with your mum.
sprite, this accusation only came via text message on my mobile phone. i have apologised for hurting her (lucinda) and making her angry. and all i got was a sarcastic reply. like...wow!! i'm so sorry to have bothered you!...what the hell else am i supposed to say?
be safe, dearest diz. i look forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
don has said....ignore it. but i say...ignore it, and the problem festers...it needs to be dealt with...am i wrong?
sounds like something better not done through texting, rose... can you give her a call? Repeat your apology, explain you didn't intend to be sneaky but wanted to tread lightly on her daughter's problem, and that you wouldn't dream of hurting any of them?
what if you go and talk face to face Rose
no, you are right. Men talk, that. Men can do that, they yell at eachother, call eachother rotten fish and then go on being the best of friends. Wish we were the same. But we women aren't and yes, we let things fester.
sprite, pugs, she goes out of her way not to be available for face-to-face talks. generation Y does not like to talk like that.
well, bully for her. Call her and keep calling until you got her. Or go visit, if you can, as pugs said.
then what about a hand written message then
dont let her know you are coming and just go
*sigh* if you only knew how much i hate face-to-face. but then again, none of my DIL's have ever made an effort to work out what makes me tick...except my youngest's wife. i think she was gob-smacked when her MIL took her side in their recent debacle.
confrontations suck, I know. But better than having everything fester underneath.
why is gen Y so quick to accuse? i do not understand it!! gen X worked so hard to show gen Y that talking out problems is a good way to resolve differences. * sigh *
well if you dont Rose, you and her both are going to have this heavy load to pack for who-knows-how-long
I wish I had an answer
but aren't I part of gen Y?
how old are you, sprite? a general range is okay..
will be 48 in a few months
sprite, sorry to say...you are a part of gen X
well my sister thats here visiting wanted to go see my youngest sister before leaving and her and I was going to go but the youngest one told Sara to not bring me to her house
good. I'd rather be part of your generation anyway, lol.
jeezzzz pugs... still about you taking Gradyn's side?
gen Y are 40 and under
gen Z are 30 and under.
yes Sprite---Iam not going to say it dosent hurt but Iam not going to lose any sleep over it
good for you, pugs. Yes, it hurts. But it is her loss. Did your other sister go, without you?
not yet, but I told her to go if she wants
we all got our grief cut out for us again, don't we. Who was it who said 'Hell is other people'?
did she help you with the ereader?
not yet but she is going to
great. Found another great series to share with you :)
oh good!
good morning? I don't know what time it is there.....
aaah, yay
good morning Ruby--hugs
{{Sprite}} and {{pugs}}
morning, ruby. Evening for rose. Very early morning or night for pugs.
Rosiem you still there?
Trying to attack some papers this AM. Very difficult task for me
paper work is horrible. Especially when it involves money or legal stuff. Both is the worst.
ya think? hahahah
into teasrs
I know. *hugs*
ahhh poor Ruby
xoxox ruby, my darling
Rose are you over there crying too
and you can imagine how much help I get from Mr. Personality....lol
aw darling, how much can you expect from an 80+ yo man... I wish you had someone a little younger there to help you with this.
nah, pugs....please don't think i don't feel regrets over lucinda's attack. i just refuse to exhibit it.
It could be worse (how?), but at least it's sunny, if cold, and there are lots of flowers and flowering fruit trees
Hi all :) Following Pug's comment, just read back. How stupid of Lucinda! Talking in front of Claudia and then suspecting you like that!!!! Daft woman!
Sending lots of hugs to all of you and warmth and good wishes for things to improve.
thanks Liz *hugs* to you too
brb, time for meds and Iam going to fix up Rose's fix-it drink-------------Howdy Liz--glad to see you back with us-:)
ok pugs :)
I'm back to normal - whatever that is! Passover just finished an hour ago - kitchen's back to it's usual state and eaten first slice of bread again - yummy!
well done, Liz :)
{{lizlin}} I miss the seders of my youth. Even though my parents weren't observant, y mother's brother made a wonderful formal seder but, alsa, I was 19 the last time I attended one
(I must be genW as I'm so old!)
Oh Ruby :( Our seders were just the 2 of us - but we laughed and had fun. Read some in English, some in Hebrew, sang songs to the best of my tuneless ability!
And the food of course, was lovely!
But I was well ready for a slice of bread tonight!
am glad you had such a good celebration, Liz
Thanks, Sprite. Your easter egg hunt sounded fun - shame the evening went bad!
yeah the hunt and breakfast were fun. At least we had that.
Stroppy teenage sons!
Have you heard from Caya this morning?
Not liking this grid!
no Liz, I have texted her once she had arrived at her friend's but no response at all. Not today either. Sigh.
I think I've missed to much of the goings-on....don't know about Lucinda or Sprite's fete gone south.....
and school just called that Tim wasn't in class... so I went and checked and he was still asleep. Handed him the phone and turned on my heels.
pits
it IS the pi4 today, lol.
sorry
I just read back, Ruby - cos Pugs asked Rose if she was crying, so that spiked my interest.
Caya will be back soon and hopefully Tim will apologise, when he thinks over stuff.
we can hope... not holding my breath though.
back and are you sure this isnt a monday--lol
He'll grow up, I'm sure of it and no doubt he'll grow into a lovely adult - taking after his parents.
Hi Pugs - sorry I just missed you before.
*hugs Liz* Thanks for that, Liz.
I read back and saw that the doc had to refrain your cyst :(
wb pugs! I hope the coffee/milk drink will go down ok.
it feels like Monday here, too, as yesterday was a holiday for the Fr -- no restos, no housekeeper
You set a good example and something must rub off!
gels
I just hope it takes away the sick feeling of the meds
fare
I lost track of days sometime last week! With all the Passover stuff it's hard to keep track. But I do know it's Tuesday because things are back to normal again! Yipee!
I had better be quiet. Love you all!!!
how was your easter Ruby
I hope so too, Pugs.
same here, ruby. I think it IS a monday. 2nd Sunday yesterday, Monday today, Wednesday tomorrow.
quiet but chilly and we ate in Sprite's resto
thanks Liz and Iam glad things have settled down for you at last
such a great place to eat
Pugs, did the card I sent you make sense because the copy of it that I got, didn't!!!!
pugs, do you have to go back to the doctor today?
it did Liz and ty for it
yes Sprite soon as it opens this morn :(
Glad about that. The first part of the message was clear but not the 2nd!
I went yesterday too and then had to take sister to her doctor too
will be thinking of you, darling pug. Let me know how it goes.
OK time for dinner - still have 85 words to find though! Yikes!!! Hugs to you all and to Rose - I seem to have missed her.
oh, how did it go yesterday?
hugs and kisses to liz
I will--it may be late in the day or evening Sprite
bye Liz, enjoy your dinner! And Rose met a squirrel, she will be back
whenever suits you, pugs. No hurries. *hugs*
having a b***h of a time trying to send step-daughter a message via mobile phone.
he had to reopen and clean the one on the arm and no op on the hernia until I get rid of the infection in my system
bye Liz, hugs
how frustrating, rose :(
big hug for pugs. I hope it isn't too painful!
oh dear, pugs, that must have been so painful!
have called said step-daughter 3 times. and no response on the land line. *sigh*
it really didnt hurt a bit Sprite---it felt numb but it wasent
she sounds like a coward to me, rose
nah, she's gen Z...i need to give her more time to get home...
Rose, please dont stress yourself too much over this---do your best and leave it at that
am glad it didn't hurt, pugs. Now be careful with it, ok? No opening it up again?
yeah, pugs...i hear you sister.
lol--I dont plan on it
well you are doing so well right now Rose and you dont need any set-backs at this time
amen to that, pugs
Rose, your drink dosent taste too bad and so far no yucky feelings
{{group hug}} it is very comforting to come on here in the AM and see you lovely friends!
*hugs ruby*
hugs back Ruby--and you are so right
yay, pugs...then it is the cream in the milk...i am so pleased.
{{ group hug }}
Sprite, how are YOU feeling? you havent really said
sad, disappointed and kind of losing the courage to take this on again.
are your feet and legs still swollen
yes, though not as bad as when we first talked about it.
as I figured--can you call your doctor and talk to her or whatever you call her
just to give you some encouragment to carry on
am gonna write an email to the youth counsellors after babble about the new flare-up.
sprite, has my package arrived yet? the company has one more day...
good--that will let you empty out the inside and give you room to take on whatever new comes along
no sweetie, nothing yet. But Easter came in between, that may make it later than usual?
dont let this pull you down too much my dear friend and make yourself sick
i am hoping so, sprite. the site is anxious...not me...i am happy to give them more time...
no, I promise, pugs, I won't. I am not just sad, I am angry too and that helps.
I feel for Rob too, having to go to work with all this on his mind too
indeed, pugs. Though I wouldn't mind being able to get away from it all either.
yeah...anger is such a strong emotion...i so hope it works for you, sprite.
well you could go to Ruby's and help her--lol
I have offered a couple of times, pugs, but she says not now.
well if you just show up at her door Iam sure she would let you in-lol
we need a bit of anger to be able to set our boundaries, rose, and to let people know not to step over our limits too much or too far. Am finally learning how to do that.
lol pugs, yes she would, and then be mortified she couldn't put me anywhere. No, not a good idea, sorry ;)
SPRITE!!!! i am so in admiration of what you have achieved/learned.
Iam not working very fast on this grid this morn--not even close to being halfway
thanks darling :) At least that part of it feels good :)
I have a few left but they are elusive.
Good morning, all. Ugh. Up too early. Can't sleep.
hey Judi :) Sorry you can't sleep any longer, but glad to see you.
morning judi
ugh, judi...although it is so nice to see you.
getting close to reset time
yes, about 7 more minutes.
pugs, we had reset time about 2 hours agao
hey that is odd, rose. Did drG change servers again?
I usually get it twice--around 2am and 6am here
oh, dear....another reset time??? pffft to the site.
we always have one at 5 am grid time
used to be earlier in the day, until drG moved the server to another country.
sprite, we do have another reset time, just after the flip...about 2 hours.
* sigh *
ah ok, didn't know we had two nowadays, lol. I guess one for the stats and one to clean up the server.
btw, I DID sleep last night. Quite good even. I think that is a sign of mental health, lol.
and I have fireflies. Man, do I go fast when I cannot chat, lololol.
spritey...no doubts as to your mental health....lol
I did pray that you would get a peaceful night of sleep last night and so glad you did
yeah way to go Sprite
aw thank you, pugs! It really helped. I even didn't dream too bad, and usually after fights it is hell on wheels. So thank you so much. *hugs*
* wtg sprite *
lol rose!
thanks my darlings! Can I help you at all with anything?
Rose, I wanted to ask you, yesterday the doc said my oxegen was down--would walking before going there cause that
yeah dont go--lol
did you guys leave
aw sweetie :) Will wait for rose's answer, ok?
okay-lol---she must be trying to get ahold of dil
you know rose... medicines, a naked don, a squirrel... doesn't take much to distract her ;)
yeah or maybe she got through to her and is talking now
while we wait, I so very much hope that things go much better for you Sprite and for the rest of your family too--I will sure put in a prayer or two for you all
thank you so much, pugs. I could do with a tiny miracle here to help us solve this mess again... And I will pray for you that all goes better and better, not just with your health, but with everything in your life.
thank you Sprite--I love you guys so much :) I dont know how I would go on with out you all
we are here for you, pugs! And not just during babble time, but we think of you so often and hold you in our hearts and prayers. I know, from my own experience, that such connections truly work.
yes they do Sprite
I hope Rose can get things worked out for her,,family problems effects everyone
that is so true. I was heartbroken when Caya asked me if she could leave. And when I told Rob, he started crying. All because of Tim being a jerk. Or behaving like one, anyway.
yeah I bet you were---maybe by the end of the day things will look brighter for you all
from your mouth (or fingers) to God's ear, pugs. May He touch us all and bring wisdom and peace.
Is Tim and the girlfriend still having trouble
am not sure, pugs. Could be, but he did go to her before easter.
so what are you going to do today besides writing to your doctor
brb, gotta break a potty ;)
okay
pugs...walking to doctors...no... oxygen levels should have been highish...
SPRITE...WTG, HUN!!!
so what can I do then to bring it up
did you get ahold of DIL
back
sprite, slow deep breathing, just before your test. the emphasis on slow...
I think she means you, pug :)
ughhh, that should read.....*pugs*
*giggles*
okay thanks Rose
well Sprite might need that too--lol
am gonna leave you guys for now. *hugs* and I will be holding you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself for me, ok? And to all, including myself, a blessed day and a peaceful night.
my beloved has the tv on...at full volume...please forgive me...i am trying to ignore it...i so much prefer you...
okay guys I got to get off and get ready for doc--love and hugs to you all and please know I hope all gets better for you both
echoes sprites sentiments.....xoxoxox
and you, also, pugs...inhope your day is good for you, my love.
okay..... falling asleep over key-board. xoxox to all of your....see you at the flip....
back fromso so lunch with the best fries in the valley!
good morning everyone:)
((ruby))
{{crossy}}
and it's even Tuesday/1 lol
good fries or good bacon can rescue any mediocre lunch
birds are singing, sun is shining and it's warming up a little
lol@ ruby tuesday
raining here, but we need it to get rid of all the winter dirt
Same here ruby
{{bichon}}
We had a cold weekend, but as long as there's no frost, I think the fruit trees and the flowers will be OK, at least the ones that Miss big-foot Raffie doesn't sqush
We had frost on the windshields yesterday morning
good morning, sunny here
good morning, sunny here
naugfhty puppies, no lemons or limes in their rum punch
howdy annie
Hi crossy, bichon, ((ruby))
Hi crossy, Annie
so far, in flower, alyssum, bear garlic, sterile cherry, quince, both plums, allium, geraniums, Spanish grass and a couple of rock garden palnts About to pop: iris, peonies, roses
It is so beautiful!!@@
how is bichon this fine morn?
{{annie}}
ruby, it sounds like a wonderland
sterile cherry?
I'm just sparkling
it truly is....I am very lucky
It's a cherry (or maybe a peach?) that has gorgeous flowers and no fruit. The Japanese quince is also flowering but out of sight of the house. Oh, and my little likac is ready, too
We have quince bushes. It flowers, but I think the birds eat the fruit
ae the plum edible from your plum tree?
are the flowers dark almon?
salmon
Yes ruby
yes, the purple ones are good but often wormy and the mirabelles (small round yellow ones) are wonderful, but the tree almost died last year
that's a Japanese quince. I didn't plant mine, but it s trying to take over one corner of the garden, evidently very invasive but lovely
ruby, you are lucky to have those lovely plums at your fingertips
ruby lives in an edenic spot
good morning all
she does, she really does
and there are two apple trees and a hazelnut plus strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and red and black currants. It is a wonderful garden plus, since it's totally enclosed, the dogs can run around in it. Ruby, however, used to dig under the fence and get out and Rufie found a hole last spring and escaped.
we must be patient here. The first thing we will be able to harvest will be strawberries:)
I am not patient, frothing at the mouth (figuratively) for some warm sunshine
what a beautiful spot you have ruby
mad dog ruby! run!
It is perfect here, between the lake and cliffs
The bad news is that the house looks somewhat worn (as do I!) and there is no heat, except in the bathrooms
heat? you do not get below minus 10, all you need is a fire and to watch the submarine races once a week to keep warm;))
As I said, edenic. Adam and Eve had no heat <ggg>
I just wear many layers of clothes and sleep under an old fur coat
You've never heard of down? And those puppies of yours could provide a lot of insulation
was watching a building show based out of Florida the other night and they were talking about wall insulation and I was thinking "yea, that will come in handy for those frosty winter days when it dips below 70 F eh?"
we also have a down duvet and many blankets
But these dogs would not be OK in the bed --too big, too dirty, etc
naughty, dirty puppies:(
and your tick story clinched it bichon!
People in Fl don't have the toleerance for cold as we do crossy
Don't forget we moved here from Miami but I much prefer this climate
yes, I know, bichon. I am just playing. When my in-laws used to come back from wintering in Largo FLA. they would have the furnace in their house set at 90f until june
I would prefer most climates over Miami. I can't tolerate humidity
spent allspring wandering around their home in shorts and sweating bullets
I didn't mind the heat or humidity, it was the mosquitoes I couldn't stand. And, of course, everything is airconditioned
My parents would come back from FL in May and have the heat on
my beloved was not impressed with Largo area. Said it always felt like a crime scene waiting to happen and everything was covered in a thin film of soot-like substance
and the bacon was nasty
oy, nasty bacon lol
Is Largo in the Keys?
when I travel, I set the itinerary based on the wuality of the bacon found en route;)
yes, bichon
i am told it is near where the Toronto blue jays have their training camp (crossy knows little about florida)
Good day to all.
I was not impressed with Largo either but the rest of the keys are heaven
hello scrabs
howdy scrabby
Hi Scrabs
We used to go fishing out of the Keys
hi scrabbs
I have a bit of time to Babble before I shop for my mother.
tis back to school for crossy today:))
while you're shopping for a mother, would you pls pick one up for me?
We always had a guide when we went fishing. We fished for bass.
good thing. I am forgetting how to spell;)
I could use a mother too.
Bananas, oranges, chocolate ice cream, etc.
crossy needs a mum as well:)
I miss fishing. When I was a kid in NY, my father used to take me on party boats out of Sheepshead Bay and Captree
Oh, I just got your jokes--haha. We all need a nurturing, attentive mother, don't we?
wish you were here ruby, would take you salmon fishing
We went trout fishing here at first, but never even saw a fish
Oh ruby, you are bringing make memories. I live near Sheepshead Bay, see the fishing boats from my window. I much prefer Captree tho.
I love samon fishing but my all-time best catch was a 21" rainbow trout on a fly called a fuzzy bunny (sorry, scrabs)
mm, fuzzy bunnies...
nice trout ruby. Would of been a good fight
I went to med school with a girl from Sheepshead Bay.
We used to go to Lundy's after the store closed (in summer) for steamed clams and apple pie a la mode
Wow, ruby.
My husband caught a 25 lb salmon in Lake Champlain
I have photos and will see if I can scan them
Amazing, Annie.
That's huge!
my record here for salmon is 40 pounds one oz:))
ruby, remember those great shore dinners at Lundy's? It is now a Russian gourmet supermarket.
In Alaska, if you stood in the rivers, the salmon would bump into your legs
fantastic!
That is too funny (not!), annie, I thought Lundy's was an institution
we still get sturgeon here in the river, but they are protected and come with a huge fine if you even think about keeping one
I found a 7 by myself. wo7
ruby, so did I. Alas, no more.
ty for wo7 scrabbs
When I kayak I see fish in the water. Once we paddled on a river with mating carp jumping all over the place. It was almost a horror film.
was a time when the local stores would buy the ggs cash money
eggs
My husband never killed what he caught and I released the rainbow. But in Fla, when I caught mackerel, I had the mates clean them and made seviche
you should see Magnolia, scrabs, there's a scene where it's raining frogs!
There is an ir7 and sn7.
Scary, ruby!
Thanks, JeeWhiz. I will look.
ty for ir7
Ah, we have an -ing to use!
ty for the ir7 and we have the ies endins, too
Yw :)
and the ier ending
honey, i do not sn7!
thanks, crossy
Hello babblers :) May I have stats for the i in the right hand column please?
Oh, yes you do Crossy, thus your CPAP gear.
that thing is gathering dust. it is an evil contraption
HI all, help with O and the E in the right column pls
1000 dollar paperweight
I will search too, Biltong.
the i's have to do with fires or engines
well, 1700 before rebate
Aw, Crossy.
sounds like my piano.....
I don't see either of the 7's just clued
sn7 = what a noisy, mouthbreathing sleeper does
i am sorry scrabby. it is like having an industrial vacuum blowing air down your throat all night long
ir7= what you do to wrinkled clothes
or a dog
Thanks Scrab
but I only found the sn5 and 6, not the 7
you ir4 your dogs ruby??!!
ty, did not see the gerund ending
got them both
Crossy, I too have a CPAP machine gathering dust. I had mild sleep apnea and didn't "need" CPAP but wanted to try it to see if my chronic fatigue improved.
nothing like puppies with neat, even creases...
aaah, got it
especially chows with their creasy faces
i am finding that i no longer choke at night though
help with I, o and e in right column pls
And, Pe4, your name is in the grid.
I have none of those, Pe4.
stats for any 8 and the 10 would be greatly appreciated
eg /6 and eg5/14
Crossy, weight loss can resolve sleep apnea.
ig6, 7 start a fire and plural
TY, Biltong.
pe4 is well-connected and is very often in the grid. How did you arrange that, pe4?
Yikes, it is raining so hard now.
bonjour une
O in the right column please and stats for 10
YW
we're in the same boat, teach
ty, Une
salut ruby :-)
the ten is 10/105
if you want a clue I can do it

Hi all :)
I have not been in the grid for some time now
It was good to see you back - one of my first words :)

hi all again - back for a while

ooh now off to watch some cooking
I'd rather watch it than do it, kazz

does anyone have a hint for the do 10? Is it a compund word
me too :-)
Any clues for the ob, please?
ty for the ig words
yes bichon
nm, got the 10 and yes, it's a compound word
do 10 is compound - canine + fruit pl
ob starts like a tall slim tribute statue
clue, bichon?
help with E pls in right column, need to get ready for ex class
I hate to think what the definition is.
help with any 8 would be nice too
thanks, Une
ty, Une
canine + fruits of a tree

*My mind went to the same place Bich's did on do10*
dogberries
oops, sorry :(
Good clue, Biltong :)
That's it biltong
that would be it
Okay, that wraps up the do10 clues
Molly, we think alike. My fluffs no longer have them
thanks! :-)
Hello, Molly
: ( be5less fluffs
My 3 male rabbits had their bunnyberries removed.
were they marking the way pups do?
Rufie bears his proudly and doesn't run after girls or spray, so I think he's OK
They will do that so I get them "fixed" when several months old.
One of my male bunnies was very sweet and I let him keep his berries.
We had Raffie sterilized as I couldn't imagine 8 little chows in my house
Rufie's are more like plums
Haha.
lol ruby
*Sounds the too much information alarm*
lol, good convo to have with morning coffee and tea, comparing sizes of pet cojones:)
sorry, didn't mean to offend
More laughter in life is essential, even if we laugh about male berries.
no offence taken ruby :)
if a Russian blue has blue ones, does it mean he is not getting any?
It was funny, Ruby!!
good food, love and laughter;)
hahhah
i am still pondering bunnyberries
Ditto Scrabbler
Ruby, very little offends me. I was just thinking of those eating breakfast.
and one more thing, he is pale white, beige and golden and they are black! lol
Elongated, Crossy. Odd looking.
I know, Molly, you are an excellent sport
Ha, ha!
*Throws eggs and toast away*
Rocky Mountain oysters
uhoh, eggs
oh, a bit of good news scrabby! Our jack-rabbit population is mending. Have seen many sighting this spring:)
no wild rabbits here, they've all been et.
forgot how they look angry all the time and the size of those ears!
ooh, just found ai7 by myself

Hi jbp
Ah, a phantom
just wanted to be sure everyone was on the same page...
so that I can go to work,could I get a clue on the far right O?
be 5? a clue, pls
The 3 ob- words are odd ones. Let me try to clue them.
sorry, bichon, I don't have it
ob + the Manning bro that is a QB for the Giants
Then ob6 has an added vowel and ob7 is a plural
great clue, Scrabbs. thanks!!
I don't have it, bichon
be5 has gerund end
evening all
okay, got to get a haircut this morning
That clue won't help everyone.

Howdilly doo, all. 2nd round of Babble for me this a.m.
hi Judi
Call me dense, but I don't see 257 words coming easily with this grid.
I wouldn't disagree
Could anyone clue me the be5/18 plz? I just cannot see it at all!
be5 has gerund end
Of course!!!! How did I not see that one!!! Thanks.
help im so stuck xxx
do you know about Lickety Sophie?
Hi All
Finding the words is the difficult part
It saves time to find the words you cannot find first.
clue for br 8/50 first one
don't know if this will help...it is an alternate spelling of a climbing plant and starts the same as the br 4/6 before it
we have a pe 4/ which is one of our babblers, but we also have pe 7/32 which would be a roomfull of them! :)
does it end with the gerund?
nope
are you talking about the br or pe?
br
my bad. i threw you off then
dives back into the grid..
No, you didn't, because I have that one...
br 8, the first one br two vowels [not the same] + consonant + plural ending [3 letters]
ty Bichon!
yw, difficult to clue. But I don't have the second br 8
i have br 8/50= an oven setting to cook meat fast
ty bichon got it
br** is a musical notation for "lively," as in andante con **** -- then pluralize it
Good morning everyone! Nice biggun' today!
car!!:)
tiro
oops
Hi Crossy!
Hello everyone :)
Hi Foffle!
hiya car
and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
Mageiricophobia is the intense fear of having to cook.
:)
this is a monster of a grid
no way will I finish this one
Oh my! It looks more like a fear of magician's to me!
yes you will Foffle!!!!
Yay! found an 8!!!
no I won't car. I'd have to spend all day and night at it to do that
life's too short
Ok! do your best then!
Just enjoy the time here!
give you a freebie car: do 10/105 = canine cojones;)))

I know, Mimi! Nice to see you.
Hello Harpjane!
reminded me of a concrete tribute
I've been working a lot...good thing, though.
hello, all -- brb :-)
Taking a short breakfast break right now.
excellent!
I lost my job and then started my own business 4 days later.
Hey, our pe4/5 is in the grid...hope she sees it!
Oh, wow, car...scary on both counts. How's it going?
What kind of business Car?
slow but good. will be nice when i get paid.
af8?
nbt
the transcriptipn company I was working for dissolved, so I opened my own and kept my eye doctors for myself.
wtg car
Either I didn't know or I forgot (senior moment) that we do the same thing, car!! I'm loving my job...contract to a service, work only as much as I want and make my own hours...fabulous. If you need extra work, let me know....we only do radiology, though.
Nice!
f7 - the type of seizure you get when your temp is too high; add an a at the beginning
I don't have that AF nor can I figure it out.
OK! That's the one...thanks!
ty
thanks to morewords!
nbs
Car and I should know that one!
And good morning to everyone!!
Ooooooh! One of my favorite cocktails is in the grid! ST 7/36
We had a big explosion by the airport this morning with several more explosions and big black plumes of smoke...apparently an oil fire. They've evacuated the area (several hotels) and diverted air traffic. Probably will be that way all day...yikes...nowhere near me, thank goodness.
Oh my goodness! Glad you are sa4 Mimi!
There are a lot of celebrity names in this grid....Comedian George Gobel, actress Anna Farris....
*+-
damn cat just broke my keyboard
...hated actress Lori Si 6/24....
OH, NOOOOO, car!!! Mine constantly try to do that, too. In fact, had to blockage my computer on all sides to keep them from chewing cords. If I need to turn off the modem or unplug, I have to move furniture!
He shoved his fat ass on my keyboard tray knocking the keyboard off and snapping off the little brace that tilts the keyboard up...which I need for correct positioning when I am typing. Grrrr.
I wanted to mention that I had Stanley Steemer come yesterday to do my carpet but also my furniture and, wow, immediately I can breathe much better and didn't wake up totally stuffed this morning!! I have terrible allergies (am allergic to cats, too, so am my own worst enemy) so this is a real good thing for me. Thought I'd pass that long in case anyone else has the same issues.
LOL just picturing a Garfield type pussy cat
Awesome!
17.2 lb
oh boy!
I have a constant battle of wits with my three...they usually win.
He is just still pissed we got the puppy. and his food bowl is low.
Does he eat Pizza?
Lasagna! LOL! No...just cat food.
lasagne surely?
We're so lucky they allow us to live in THEIR home, right?
of course!
Oh hell no!
At least Garfield makes money!
Exactly. what is Dante doing....breaking mommy's work things.
my cat used to drive me crazy climbing the curtains
EVERY night
Oh good lord...that would piss me off!
I have a cat that was abandoned at Christmas so its owners could go away for the holiday. When she arrived she was only too happy to eat what was in her dish. Four months later only the best will do and madam doesn't like fish, except salmon.
LOL typical cat
Oh dear! Good for you rescuing her...now bill those bad people for the increase to your food bill!
Remember the "meatloaf cat" books? Car, yours is like a meatloaf on steroids!
I don't know meatloaf cat
All three of mine were strays, jaxx. I'm full up now...not turning into the crazy cat lady...just crazy.
You know...I really can't complain. this is one of the BEST cats we have ever had the privilege of having as part of our family. Truly a family pet!
it certainly pissed me off - when I took them down they were full of little holes and the lining ripped to shreds
I forget the author's name but he had drawings and one was a cat lying down away from the front view and he asked if anyone ever noticed how much a cat resembles a meatloaf...sorry..you had to be there.
I miss her though
There was a lady who lived down the road who had so many feral cats, all black, that she fed early in the morning. Her drive was full of a mass of black fur.
LOL!
Halfway for me. taking a break. Good luck everyone and enjoy your day!
I haven't heard of the meatloaf cat books either. I did a Google search and came up with bupkus.
Mine have done mass destruction to my place and always looking to do more...thus, the battle of wits. You cannot believe the lengths I've gone to trying to "catproof" this place. But I love them anyway.
bye car see you later
HAGD, car....later. And I'm gone, too...yes, really, Molly (and she replies..."sure").
I just changed my pic....early makings of a crazy cat lady is what I call it!
it' amazing what they get away with - at least mine did
Foffle, would you like our parrot? We got new curtains and I said to my husband 'aren't the curtains too close to the parrot cage'. Oh no says he and the next morning we woke up to a 3'' square hole in the new curtains, nibbled right down to the lining. Husband's response? Well, he has never done it before!
You folks must have a lot of patience. The stories I read here make me very glad I don't have pets.
Oh good lord :(
no thank you (she says remaining polite
My pets bring me much more joy than frustration!
when I don't have a pet, I feel empty
I have a mantra I repeat every time they do something else destructive..."It's the living creatures that matter, not the inanimate objects" and I just keep saying that until I believe it!
Don't blame you. I don't ant it either. It hates females and takes every opportunity to bite me.
me too - but not an option here
want, even.
OK...really going now. Poof!
bye bye car
*Wonders how many encores Car and Mimi will take*
LOL
Just went on Amazon and looked under "funny cat books" and there's one at the top that is titled I Could Pee on This and other cat poems." Didn't find the meatloaf cat one but only looked at first page. Now...gone.
have you seen 'Simon's cat'?
it's hilarious
....if you have cats
At least one of my cat's pays me the compliment of looking really guilty and sorry when he has done something wrong...I do appreciate that.
OK..back to work....was that 3 encores, Molly? Poof!
that;s amazing
I have just staggered past halfway. I am going to have a cup of coffee. I will return this evening
bye jaxx see you later
*Adds staggered to the list of other Babble descriptive action words...plod, trudge, muddle, etc.
I'm off too - not even one third down :(
I have af8 and re8. help with others pls

Yes commas do save lives. Let's eat Gramma. Let's eat, Gramma.
big fun day - my refrigerator died
Good grief...appliances go to die at your house lately :(
ty, car.
I think it is because we did over the kitchen all at once, so now they are all dying. I can't take much more
hi trif
It is just one thing after another for you...I'm sorry
i keep thinking if i ignore the p's they will go away
hello to, molly, une....
my toaster died and i tried to make toast in the br7 for my guest. now the word is out i cannot even cook toast. it was overdone
Harp, they will only go away if you turn off the computer and back, slowly away from it. : D
Hi Trif!!!!!!!

why won;t enable recognize dobro? why why why???
it's a travesty to, I agree!
do5/16 #2 pls?
Dobro is a trademark name, kind of like freon.
do + boob support
and plural
ty . morwords lists dobro. go figure
TY une
yw
I think dobro was a regular name for the string instrument before it became a trademark. No telling when the old men, who have lots of nose hair and wear plaid shorts, black socks and sandals (the ones that concocted the Enable word list) tossed it.
(making mental note to hide my black socks....)
Black socks are fine, if not blended with sandals and plaid shorts.
i just finished watching the south park about FB. it washilarious. has anyone seen it?
That is the best commentary on Facebook ever.

Good night TO
hi all :)
hello smores
hey car
Car, I love the exclamation point. I think it's a great way of expressing joy and happiness. I just wonder why it gets used after things that don't express that. Like Hi! It's just me and my sincere love of language and how people use it. Feel free to ignore.
But "Hi!" expresses happiness in a greeting.
I guess that is the part I don't understand.
OK. We agree to disagree then
May I please have some help with ai words? I only have the ai 5/10 :(
and the ai 4/4 of course
In my way of thinking, it's kind of like people who over use honey, dear, sweetie and darling. Once you see something umpty zillion times, it kind of loses it's zing.
