3:16 am

very goodly, thanx pugs. and you? went to church today, then onto deacon's footy match.

3:16 am

Morning Kazz and congrats

3:16 am

well i love it, kazzer. thanx for making me smile

3:16 am

WTG KAZZER!!!

3:16 am

sounds like you had a nice day then Rose

3:17 am

it was, pugs, even though it was cold. wind was off the ice, so to speak.

3:17 am

Iam going to a new church today and I hope I like it cause I need a new church home

3:18 am

yeah its been real windy and cool here too for the last three or four days

3:18 am

oh, lovely pugs. what is it called?

3:18 am

Good - its never too bad a day if you can smile. I have a bit of a strange question but in the past 6 months i have had a whole series of fungal infections from the usual athletes foot to ringworm - does anyone have any good tips for beating it. I have cream and a course of tablets for the latest batch but is there a way to keep it at bay/

3:18 am

cornerstone baptist

3:19 am

okay will pray as you enter your new spiritual home, dear

3:19 am

thank you Rose

3:20 am

kazzer?? there may be a shower gel/wash you can use. and it sounds like your shower/bath are re-infecting you. also have you sprayed the inside of all your shoes with anti-fungal spray?

3:21 am

kazzar, disinfect your shower/bath and the room floor with the strongest ammonia-based cleaner you can buy.i pour pure chlorine into my shower/bath once/month.

3:23 am

yep done that - can't use shower gel at the mo - its a nightmare. i throw a load of shoes away because i can't wear socks very often and thought that might be the source of the AF. Bleach sounds like a very good idea - I will get some more today. I always do the kitchen sink with bleach - don't use to very often and so it stops any smells from the drains (I am not a slob - I have a dishwasher!)

3:24 am

I went yesterday to visit a childhood friend thats now in a nursing home(shes a year younger then I ) we were very close at one time---Due to the loss of family members, she fell and broke a hip about 3 years ago and got put there for she had no one to care for her. She hates it there and Rose I wish I could bring her here but I dont know if I could take on more then what I already have

3:24 am

anyway must be off to beautify myself - we are taking little sissy poos out for lunch

3:25 am

that a generous thought Pugs but if you got ill - it would be very difficult for both of you.

3:25 am

my chat is not coming through

3:26 am

it seems to be going slow in places. I see some every now and again and this morning - if I put a wrong word in it just disappeared into a balck hole

3:30 am

enjoy your day kazzar, please wish your sister a Happy Birthday from us.

3:30 am

pugs, no more on your plate just yet, dear.you have plenty to balance at the moment.

3:32 am

pugs, surely your friend is up and about by now. she should be well on her way to her own home. or is there something else wrong?

3:36 am

sorry Rose, having trouble with the server

3:38 am

I dont really know what all is going on with her yet Rose

3:39 am

are you able to visit her? find out? she may need an advocate.

3:39 am

she has always lived with her mom and she passed away last year and the house was sold

3:40 am

pugs, is she within cooee, shall we say, of you?

3:40 am

I did visit her yesterday and I think she was shocked to see me- I will go back again and try to learn more on what is going on

3:41 am

good for you, dear. email me if you have to do so. i am quite happy to chat, and try and help you.

3:41 am

thank you Rose, I will

3:42 am

bless you, sweetheart.

3:42 am

back again xx

3:42 am

I did tell her I would come and take her on outings when the weather is more fitting

3:42 am

wb worzel

3:42 am

yeah! Wor :)

3:42 am

ty Mum - thought I'd come back and fight off these last 8 little words!!

3:44 am

can i have a clue for the ra5/15 please?

3:44 am

why is babble so bad in the mornings

3:44 am

well be your evenings not morning

3:44 am

little ra* of sunshine + exclamation of un derstanding

3:45 am

Babble's terrible here in the morning, and it seems to be getting worse

3:45 am

ty mum xx

3:45 am

two days in a roll Wor? You are getting good!

3:45 am

*understanding*

3:47 am

I am, pugs! Mind you, when it comes to bigger grids I don't fare so well. I enjoy the chat as much as the game though, especially with great friends like you and Mum and all the others xxxx

3:47 am

the exact same for me too Wor-lol

3:48 am

good morning!

3:49 am

Iam almost halfway-lol Not doing as well as yesterdays---did you get all your gardening done yesterday Wor

3:49 am

good morning Mrs Ruby--:) hugs

3:49 am

yay!!! it's a ruby...hello darling. did you get my email?

3:49 am

{{rosie --phew!}}, {{pugs}}. {{Worzel}}

3:50 am

I got most of it done, and I also painted a black patch on my kitchen wall. We used to have a blackboard but it broke and we decided to make a square on the wall from blackboard paint, which worked amazingly well. So today is a day of rest, well, apart from going to the gym later and a nice long cycle, weather permitting

3:50 am

It is so cold here, When the Fr say don't put yur tomatoes in 'til 15 May, they are probably right. I've lost 3 out of 4 plants; the rest stay in the garage for the moment

3:50 am

morning ruby xxxx

3:51 am

dinner is decidedly smelling sooo yummy. slow-roasted chicken in apricot nectar and french onion soup, plus all the vegetables.

3:51 am

That's what I get for being a smart-a((!

3:51 am

sounds yummy Rose

3:52 am

ruby, next ti4, have some shade-mesh available. wrap your tomato plants patch with that. it will act like a mini hot-house.

3:52 am

this is another ca4 too-sall weekend grid. Dr. God has a weird sense of humor, if you ask me.

3:53 am

too-small*

3:53 am

My sister sent me a dozen of white figs--I know not one thing about them--do I peel them to eat and seed them or just eat them as is--

3:53 am

it's okay, we read rubyfoo-ese....lol

3:53 am

I've always planted tomatoes inApril, never had a problem before

3:54 am

by white, do you mean green, pugs? If they are soft to the touch, you can eat the whole thing (except the stem) and they are wonderful with cold ham and a little oil and vinegar

3:54 am

hmmm, pugs. try one as is...if you don't like the skin, peel them. *shrug * have only had the other kind ever

3:55 am

my fig tree which produces figs twice a year, is the "white" kind. Most years, it has figs but they fall off before they ripe.

3:55 am

The tree is beautiful, though, in the most sheltered spot of the garden, against a south-facing wall

3:55 am

okay Rose--they look green to me and white on the inside--I hope they are ripe cause I dont even know when they are that-lol

3:55 am

ripen*

3:56 am

thanks Ruby for the imfo

3:56 am

awww, ruby, such a disappointment for you. are you able to resurrect any of the 'wind-falls'?

3:56 am

they should be dark pink on the inside if they're ripe, pugs. If they're white all the way through, they're not ready to eat

3:56 am

the one I open Ruby was all white on the inside

3:57 am

but was it soft, pugs?

3:57 am

no, not ready, it would have no taste

3:57 am

so just let them set out for awhile then to ripen

3:57 am

yes

3:57 am

no not really Rose, but was very sticky

3:58 am

alright, thank you guys very much for educating me

3:58 am

what ruby said, pugs

3:59 am

I love figs and, although they're available in the veg market, the ones from the garden are always a special treat.

3:59 am

year

3:59 am

whoops, sorry

3:59 am

I cant wait to try them myself

4:00 am

lol, ruby. i think you are safe.

4:00 am

I would like trying to grow one but I bet it gets too cold here for them

4:00 am

pls don't tell the hall monitor!

4:01 am

I hd an Italian neighbor in NY who used to prune them severely and wrap them with burlap in the winter. That seems like too much trouble. It is a lot warmer here than the childhood ti** in NY

4:03 am

I might give it a try--are they fast growing? I could bring it in during the harsh part of winter until it gets to big to do so

4:04 am

I'm not sure it's worth the effort as they are pretty fussy

4:05 am

okay Ruby

4:06 am

dinner being served. ruby lovely to see you. please check your emails. pugs, hun, xoxox, and hugs to you both. see you at the flip.

4:06 am

this grid has several things to do with a calendar it seems-lol

4:06 am

yes, rosie, the guestroom is always clean and ready!

4:06 am

bye Rose--okay and love and hugs

4:11 am

32 and off I go

4:11 am

{{pugs}} I owe you a letter!

4:12 am

have a good day Ruby and take care

4:18 am

can i have a clue for th5/18 please?

4:19 am

sorry Wor, not that far yet and I think everyone has left us

4:19 am

5:42 am

good morning everyone

5:43 am

Morning Crossy--was just getting ready to head out--so take care and enjoy the grid

6:16 am

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! Many sports fan internationally believe that Canadian hockey is a violent bloody sport, while those of us in the great white north tend to fall asleep head first into our bowl of popcorn when we try to watch euro football. This may be true, BUT there is nothing quite like a soccer fan to liven up the action in the stands!! the violence in the stands put our ice hockey brawls to shame!! http://tinyurl.com/kdd4835

6:29 am

and you get a bonus tidbit today!!.. India has a mascot named "Mr. Poo," a talking and dancing pile of poop that is designed to discourage people from defecating in public. :)

6:34 am

Sounds like Mr. Hanky from South Park

6:36 am

never seen South Park

6:38 am

Their episode on Facebook is hilarious. You can watch it on line. It's called "You Have 0 Friends"

Anyone still here or has everyone finished?

9:21 am

I'm here Scrabs. How goes it?

9:22 am

Hi Bichon. I just said good-bye to my New Jersey siser. She is going home.

9:22 am

You had a pleasant visit with her? How's Mom?

9:23 am

It is always great to have her here. We hike, play Scrabble, and laugh a lot. This visit we were busy with our mother. Mom is slowly improving and is no longer happy being a patient. She wants to get home.

9:24 am

Does she have help at home or is she able to manage the everyday things?

9:25 am

My 48 yr old bro lives with her but he is dopey. We must get him more involved.

9:26 am

Don't want to ask about that?

9:27 am

He has severe social anxiety so is a hermit basically. My parents enabled him to withdraw from life. He doesn't drive or work. Very sad.

9:29 am

So sorry to hear that Scrabs

9:30 am

Yes, it is difficult for us.

9:31 am

He went to college for a year or so, and worked, then withdrew from life.

9:34 am

My monkeys are being very productive this morning.

9:42 am

Morning everyone - would like to go out but refuse till i have fireworks. Just need a little clue for the CA 6. Please and thank you

Scrabs, how's Mom?

9:58 am

Hi Welki!

9:58 am

Poor, Car. Muscle strain? Sciatica?

9:59 am

spasms in lower back

9:59 am

Wounds are healing. She is more ornery because she is frustrated with being a patient--helpless, etc.

9:59 am

Fire in her belly! Good sign!

9:59 am

Ouch.

10:00 am

Sorry to hear you're feeling bad, Car.

Fireworks. First time in many weeks.

Can anyone else get it done, Car?

10:03 am

Yes...but don't think they will

10:04 am

Stats for the U please?

10:04 am

Scrabs, have you ever seen laundry done by a man?

10:05 am

Hubby has done it plenty of times. I am lucky for that, but he is very tired today. We did a big yard project yesterday

10:05 am

phantom: thalomine

10:05 am

I do not allow Bill to touch my laundry.

10:06 am

He can't fold and doesn't know how to separate.

10:06 am

But he will do it if asked.

10:06 am

Car, did you find the u?

10:07 am

no

10:07 am

10:43 am

nbt

10:43 am

10:43 am

I'm afraid to ask for clues, in case the word turns out to be obvious.

10:43 am

will do, Aloy :) How are you?

10:43 am

lol harpjane

10:44 am

not seeing obvious word is an accepted thing in Babble... Babble blindness. Don't worry, ask away.

10:44 am

I missed the most obvious ra7, our masked animal friend

10:45 am

I found the ca6 pretty quickly but was blind to the ca5 before it.

10:45 am

lol, that's the one i was about to ask for!

And then there is my friend, who met a man who was over 40, never been married and not gay, and she wondered what was wrong with him. : D

11:19 am

Any clues before I go?

12:07 pm

hagd everyone - back at the flip :)

12:21 pm

Won't be a flip, but happy babbling all!! *poof*

1:24 pm

morning all

1:25 pm

howdy jes

1:25 pm

how goes, crossy?

1:26 pm

it is a nice, peaceful sunday and for that i am most happy:))

1:26 pm

always nice :)

1:27 pm

i am home alone - kid is off to jam with friends, bruce randomly went to work with roomie in case her emergency call turns into needing to shoot the patient

1:29 pm

good afternoon! Short grid but difficult I gather?

1:29 pm

first half wasn't bad, enomis... but i hit a wall shortly after half way

1:30 pm

Going to start, see you in a bit...

1:31 pm

after the half way mark, this grid grows some very sharp teeth:(

1:31 pm

OUCH!!

1:32 pm

think it might be a bit rabid as well, good thing you are here jes:)

1:32 pm

actually, i do not know if it should be treated , or have holy water sprinkled on it;)

1:32 pm

that bad?

1:33 pm

heh. rabies gets treated with euthanasia, crossy

1:33 pm

lots of teenie, tiny babblets

1:33 pm

unless you're human, and then it gets treated with induced co4/6 and massive amounts of anti-inflammatories.

1:34 pm

and you still probably die.

1:34 pm

well, the humane killer would of been a good idea at the flip. get another one instead

1:35 pm

actually one of those 12-gauge shark bang-sticks they used to use would have had better visual effect with this grid

1:36 pm

I find if you just type in any combo of letters it works pretty well.

1:37 pm

Don't think too much.

1:37 pm

so does letting may cat wander back and forth across they keyboard:)

1:37 pm

There you go!

1:37 pm

actually, he is doing better than I am;)

1:38 pm

:D

1:38 pm

ahahah

1:38 pm

Ok, I tried and find it quite brutal! May be if I get a drink I'll do better... :)

1:38 pm

a drink cannot hurt, that is for sure

1:38 pm

another good idea!

1:39 pm

an exeptional idea.. but it is a tad eary here for that yet

1:39 pm

hmmmm what should it be? Beer? Wine? Champagne? Scotch?

1:40 pm

Hey it works! Found mo6! LOL

1:40 pm

i would start with the wine and save the heavy hitters till later

1:40 pm

Beer is good for afternoon.

1:40 pm

or wine

1:40 pm

and mo5... I'll stick to beer

1:43 pm

sigh, yet another nonsensical word: ra4/6 = a non- muslim subject of the ottoman empire.. lol of course! Use that every day;)

1:43 pm

i must be into pain;)

1:43 pm

thanks, crossy, didn't have that one yet :)

1:43 pm

sigh....

1:44 pm

(and is it a sign that I babble over-much that I got a word from that clue without resorting to google?)

1:44 pm

but, i would biatch and moan if it was too easy as well:)

1:44 pm

it is one of the classic symptoms

1:45 pm

text book

1:45 pm

another one is KNOWING a word mucst be there because of the letters in a corner even though you do not see the word itself and you just type it in and you are, of course, correct

1:46 pm

and the late stage symptom is trying to imput a word 5 minutes after you finished the grid

1:46 pm

ca6?

1:46 pm

ca + consonant + what you drive

1:46 pm

I must be terminal

1:46 pm

short form for food energy unit+ automobile

1:47 pm

ahahahahaha. roomie's name is a word in the grid... la5/12 :)

1:47 pm

then i must be terminal.. actually they have me on bypass, i expect the organ harvesting team any second now

1:47 pm

what is that?

1:47 pm

and latin that up as well jes

1:47 pm

ty cross - I was looking for an auto brand and couldn't figure it out :)

1:48 pm

for the la6:)

1:48 pm

got it, the la

1:48 pm

and ty

1:48 pm

apparently, my roomie is a monastery consisting formerly of a group of cells or huts for monks who met together for meals and worship.

1:49 pm

I have a friend like that also.

1:49 pm

Jess that could become handy, you never know

1:49 pm

ahh, nothing finer that those concrete sleeping shelves at the back of a cell....

1:49 pm

good for the back

1:50 pm

esp in winter

1:50 pm

holy shingles..

1:51 pm

32 to go will come back later!

1:51 pm

lol

1:51 pm

bye, enomis

1:52 pm

mm, it is not taking tyin

1:52 pm

change the first letter, crossy :)

1:52 pm

ra7 clue?

1:53 pm

night time raider of your garbage cans

1:53 pm

animal with a mask and ringed tail

1:53 pm

ahahahah! go UP from the r... so obvious in retrospect

1:54 pm

for that, you get to clean up the garbage by the curb

1:54 pm

are you still looking for the ty, crossy?

1:54 pm

yes

1:54 pm

keep going up to the top right corner

1:55 pm

1:57 pm

Normal word. threw me off.

1:58 pm

grids like this, you fight so hard for the idiotic words that you often miss the real ones

1:59 pm

exactly!

1:59 pm

like not finding ra7 till you are down to your last few

1:59 pm

:)

1:59 pm

exactly :)

2:00 pm

:D

2:01 pm

and here's a prime example.... last word is oc5, which is a TOTALLY normal word and I stared at it for ages.

2:02 pm

sigh.. three babblets in a row that time. I am burning morewords up to get these

2:02 pm

7:41 pm

ra7^

giving up... eyes are closing - good night!

7:42 pm

animal....

7:42 pm

That Ra 7/36 word is nocturnal animal that likes your trash

7:43 pm

Minver its not easy. you have to "long press" in the word list (ideally near the top) until you get a line highlighted in blue, then drag the little dot "handles" up and down until the whole list is blue

7:43 pm

then you can choose "copy" from the little menu that pops up

7:43 pm

Goodbye Enomis65! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

7:46 pm

heading out....have a good evening everyone!

7:46 pm

8:07 pm

Sounds like using the list on an iPad is a pain in the ass.

8:12 pm

found the U. Now I know I've been playing this too long.

I think anytime you can pull a word that has three vowels in a row out of your memory banks, it's cause for alarm.

8:13 pm

8:14 pm

Plant that chocolate comes from

9:48 pm

good night minver

9:48 pm

I am finished! I have fireworks! Mo5/14 was my final word.

9:48 pm

Min - you want to be careful about saving your last word. I did that once back in the mists of time when Babble first began and my Other Half put the word in for me, thinking he was being helpful. It was like someone tearing the last page out of a book. I didn't kill him, but it was a near thing!

9:48 pm

clue it min, pls

9:48 pm

Well done, Min!

9:49 pm

sue - mo5/14. Ther are 12 of them in a year.

9:49 pm

Okay, Sue. BANG!

9:51 pm

pray for the fallen

9:51 pm

no, SUE, i DIDN'T.

9:51 pm

Sorry! Caps lock got stuck.

9:51 pm

Jacula,I do not need to worry about that since hubby won't go near Babble with a 10 foot pole.My hubby hates Babble.

9:52 pm

Well, doggone it! Another simple word ended it for me. Fw for me in a long time.

9:52 pm

congrats min and deutsch

9:52 pm

Min - my Other Half doesn't go near Babble now either, but he did in the early years.

9:53 pm

mine lives on CraigsList

9:53 pm

Well done, Deutsch.

9:53 pm

Congratulations Deutsch on your fireworks! Hooray for you!

9:54 pm

Don't know what Craigslist is and probably don't need to - far too many distractions from both work and omesticity on the internet already.

9:55 pm

*Domesticity

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

Ah, sue. Like ebay or gumtree then.

9:57 pm

CraigsList advertises anything that is for sell Jacula. I have only used it twice in my life. I used it to sell my car&I used it to buy a couch.I got a couch for dirt cheap on CraigsList.

9:57 pm

9:58 pm

I got my wonderful aga cooker from gumtree.

9:58 pm

I have never heard of Gumtree.Is that a UK website Jacula?

9:59 pm

9:59 pm

Yes, Min, it is.

10:00 pm

http://london.craigslist.co.uk/ is the uk Craigslist
