Morning Wor, hugs to you both there

12:41 am

((hugs)) back xx

12:42 am

Anyone got a spare hip? Mine's killing me lol

12:43 am

sorry for your pain Wor--did you fall or is it old age-lol

12:44 am

oh definitely old age! As you know I went to the doctor but he just said it was wear and tear. Honestly, the doctors in this country! It's had me up at 5am 2 days in a row now. It has eased a little though

12:46 am

you seem to be going there alot here lately-lol Rose might tell you something to help it--she good on stuff like that

12:46 am

Di reckons it's my ex-wife using a voodoo doll lmao

12:48 am

seems to be something there--if its not you in some sort of pain its Di

12:48 am

Her shoulder's better now, which is good. I can cope with my own pain but I hate to see her in pain. Mind you, like most women, she copes better than us men

12:49 am

that seems to be a true statement as bad as I hate to say something against men there-lol

12:50 am

Oh and Iam glad her shoulder is better too

12:51 am

do you have a tub there that you can soak in hot water,Wor

12:51 am

thanx xx And don't worry about saying bad things about men - we really are useless with pain - well, most of us, I just tend to put up with it until I'm about to die and then the good lady pushes me into going to the doctor's lol

12:54 am

I do have a bath but just at the moment I'd find it a bit difficult to get in and out of but, like I said, it's easing a little so I may give it a go tonight. Anyway, I'll brb I need to go make a coffee xx *semipoof*

12:55 am

What about a heatpad? Okay Wor

12:55 am

Hi everyone, just home from bridge

12:56 am

HI Flosey--did you come out the big winner

1:11 am

Strangely my Dad's just had a hip replacement. Mind you he's 75! No, to be fair, I think mine's just a touch of rheumatics - if we have a damp summer I always get rheumatic pain but this is worse than usual but like I said it's easing a bit, so by the weekend I should be back to doing cartwheels and gymnastics lol

1:11 am

GRRRRR red boxes

1:13 am

ti 7/40

1:13 am

doing that Wor will just take you back to a doctor isit you know-lol For you will just fall and hit your head or worse :)

ty ru for the sk 8... new word

1:14 am

Yes, true. I can just see me doing gymnastics at my age - I'd probably end up with my legs tied in a knot around the back of my head with Di prising me apart with the help of the fire brigade!!!

1:52 am

so you finally see what i look like.....have you stopped laughing yet? pugs?

1:53 am

now Rose, I would not do that and you look just lovely and loveable

1:53 am

Rose, I am sitting here in a total fog......probably should come back later in the day.

1:53 am

And your son is a very nice looking man too

1:55 am

okay, peach here we go. sr + total numbers together + laugh, half of one ( the sound of a laugh)

1:56 am

pugs, deacon wouldn't/couldn't stay still long enough for more pics...lol...he is so active.

1:56 am

Thanks so much, Rose. The clues they gave were fine, I just couldn't put it together.

1:56 am

just a normal little boy Rose-lol

1:56 am

np's peach

1:57 am

need food, brb

1:57 am

yup, pugs. remember the first time we babysat him? and poor don was so worn out? and don was concerned because he was so active?

1:58 am

Rose I know about the B but the other you said to get can I get that over the counter too

1:59 am

yes, hun. but like i said check with your druggist.

1:59 am

alright will do and thanks so much--that answers so much -- lol

1:59 am

if you can't get it, let me know. i'll sort something out. btw, how is your back today? is the magnesium helping?

2:00 am

I think it is--yesterday at work it was dull enough that I could stand it

2:01 am

btw, the second issue you mentioned in your email, it, too, will cause the first issue.

2:01 am

how many are you taking/day?

2:02 am

yeah Iam putting 2 and 2 together on alot of things--dont know why I didnt pick up on that sooner

2:02 am

two Rose--morning and night

2:03 am

I feel I have put my friends through hell and back

2:04 am

Iam thinking too that is part of my sleeping trouble too

2:04 am

you realise that you can repeat it whenever you need to do so? like if you are halfway through your time at work?

2:04 am

pugs, for you, i WOULD go to hell and back.

2:05 am

okay--I dont want to mix too many pills at once and have another deal like I did over the week-end-lol

2:05 am

with a smile on my face....

2:05 am

thanks Rose--I am sorry about things

2:07 am

magnesium is a natural mineral in our bodies. if you need to take the tabs more frequently, it should not harm you. i take one when i wake, about 7:30am, then another at 8:45am, before i leave for work.

2:07 am

did you have a rough time through yours

2:08 am

pugs, it was all tangled up with a pregnancy, and the onset of fibromyalgia. my last babe was a menopausal babe, at the age of 34

2:09 am

yuch Rose----how awful it must of been

2:09 am

i nearly tore my hair out.

2:10 am

I can just imagine :(

2:11 am

dont you think this is hitting me kind of late in life

2:11 am

menopausal at 34, rose? isn't that very young?

2:11 am

after my hysterectomy, i was offered injections. about 6 months down the track, i sa4, you can keep your effing injections, i'd rather sweat and glow in the dark. now i realise, they were trying to treat the fm like it was menopause.

2:12 am

no pugs, you are right on time. flosey, the stress of my then marriage pushed me into menopause. my ex has a lot to answer for.

2:13 am

flosey have you been through it

2:13 am

wow, stressful marriage + menopause - that's too much

2:13 am

oh yes pugs, I'm 81

2:13 am

flosey, that is why my blood tests right through my pregnancy sa4 i wasn't pregnant. my pregnancy pushed the hormones to 'normal' levels.

2:14 am

had my 4 kids at 31, 33, 35, 36

2:14 am

did you have a hard time with yours Flosey

2:14 am

oh my, rose, you've really been through the wars

2:14 am

Rose, I dont know how you done it--hats off to you for sure

2:14 am

had my three at 23, 29, and 34

2:14 am

no pugs, very straight forward - except for a bit of morning sickness

2:15 am

*giggle* flosey i think pugs is asking about your menopause.

2:16 am

maybe with the stress here has cause mine to be such a rollercoaster---its not been fun in the least

2:16 am

oh, sorry, not that I remember - so must not have been bad

2:16 am

np Flosey-lol

2:16 am

i am sure of it, pugs. stress does very strande things to our bodies.

2:17 am

ugh...*strange*

2:17 am

I would guess - anything so upsetting as you've been through could surely be more difficult

2:17 am

well now that I know I can do something about it

2:17 am

hope you are able to find relief, pugs - on all sides

2:18 am

thanks flosey

2:18 am

lol....flosey...i have offered to send her a brick for W, but she keeps refusing...

2:18 am

W?

2:19 am

brick to toss at someone perhaps?

2:19 am

I am not goiing to prison over someone such as him-lol

2:19 am

W....pugs' supposed better half...not

2:19 am

his name is Walker, Flosey

2:19 am

for sure, pugs - don't let anyone push you to that point

2:20 am

stand firm

2:20 am

good name, pugs - let him walk

2:21 am

he dont like me watching true murder shows for the fear of it putting ideals in my head-lol

2:21 am

lol Flosey--Ive told him several times the door is wide open and the road isnt crowded

2:21 am

hahaha, you've got him afraid of you

2:22 am

I am not stupid enough to lose my freedom

2:23 am

but that dont mean I havent thought about it a few time-lol

2:24 am

have just taken my 4th magnesium for the day, and it's kicked in. * sigh, blessed relief*

2:25 am

where are you hurting Rose--your knee

2:25 am

are you still having the blues too

2:25 am

i worked a 90minute shift today. lots of walking. back muscles in spasm.

2:26 am

no, i seem to have turned the corner emotionally. i feel the most positive since surgery today

2:26 am

are you working tomorrow too

2:26 am

Oh sure ru..have your knee done and ve in continual pain thereafter

2:26 am

and why so long? I thought you were to just work one hour

2:27 am

lol Ru

2:27 am

the joys of aging Ru-lol

2:27 am

lolol...ruru....just remember this is a REVISION total knee, and i am dealing with central sensitivity syndrome, and fibromyalgia. i promise you, mate, YOU won't look back.

2:27 am

Jeezus

2:28 am

Oh right

2:28 am

pugs, am starting to increase my time at work now.

2:28 am

how old are you Ru if you dont mind me asking

2:28 am

is that the norm ru? have you talked to others who've had a lot of trouble ?

2:29 am

you wanna wait until i come over, and can take care of you?

2:29 am

I won't look back because i won't be able to turn around in the wheelchair

2:29 am

Should you do that yet Rose or do you have to

2:29 am

LOL Ru

2:29 am

I will be 60 in a few months pugs

2:29 am

ROFLOL....no wheelchair, mate. you will be up walking and doing gentle physio day one post-op.

2:30 am

maybe by then Ru they will have invented a chair with a turning ability like these mowers

2:30 am

mind you, ruru. if you do wait for me to home nurse you, you will have to do what i tell you...like that's gonna happen.

2:31 am

THe days of a woman bossing my life are over

2:32 am

oh, oh, we have found out that theoretically i should be able to get on the new bike. weather permitting, we will try next weekend. i can't wat...yeah, i know, i have to wait..:-(

2:32 am

bossing.....nursing....same difference....lol

2:32 am

oh wow Rose--how great

2:33 am

if you are down on your back Ru, you may have to eat those words

2:33 am

2:34 am

2:34 am

2:35 am

Ive never been on a motor bike but I bet is much like riding a horse but with more speed

2:35 am

I tend to be a lucky person

2:36 am

pugs, with your favourite man between your knees...it is an amazing experience...

2:36 am

pretty jazzy looking bike, rose

2:36 am

but luck dont last forever Ru

2:36 am

Wanna rephrase that granny?

2:37 am

oh, yeah, flosey. and never...ruru

2:37 am

2:38 am

2:38 am

SHE started it!!!

2:39 am

2:42 am

Rose check and see if your bird is still in its cage-lol

2:42 am

lol, so did i...yup he is...

2:44 am

2:53 am

as you always are. Thanks hun. Had the great-grandmother of all nightmares just now.

2:53 am

dreamt that Rob had cancer and the doctors gave him 6 months tops

2:55 am

ugh, darling. i was thinking about your nightmares. would you like me to send you the " gloria in Excelsis "? it is a beautiful prayer which i have spoken/sung since 12 years old. i pray it during the night when my nightmares are particularly disturbing. it has never failed me.

2:55 am

am willing to try everything. Yes, please rose :)

2:56 am

*giggle* my poor darling. will send it ASAP. as i sa4...i know it by heart, and i can pray it without opening my eyes...

2:57 am

2:58 am

Ks Konkuerred

3:00 am

3:00 am

thanks :) All short ones today, that helps

3:05 am

3:10 am

and have sent the prayer, dear. i hope it helps you.

3:10 am

am so sorry, rose. It is really hard on you, this road you have to travel. Thank God for the magnesium. I am shaken and rather disturbed, to misquote mr Bond. But otherwise fine.

3:10 am

thank you!

3:13 am

*gently hugs spritey*

3:14 am

*loves the hug*

3:14 am

Just a quick hi from me :)

3:22 am

hi Liz :) *hug* How are you?

3:22 am

Very well thanks - sorry that you're nightmaring :(

3:23 am

my friend will hear the results from the scan today, I think that may have triggered the nightmare.

3:23 am

That's tough - but very understandable. I hope that the news is the best it can be.

3:24 am

am glad you are well! I got an email from your friend and I will pick up the package from the hotel on Sunday :D

3:24 am

I hope so too. An all clear at this point would be awesome.

3:24 am

That's excellent. Finally!

3:24 am

YAHOOO!!! don has just left for his men's night with the church group. I AM HOME ALONE!!

3:24 am

An all clear would be wonderful :)

3:25 am

*giggles* Lovely, isn't it, to be alone sometimes.

3:25 am

aww, sprite, i pray the result is what you all are wishing for.

3:25 am

and ... HEY YA LIZ!!

3:25 am

I don't mind it when he goes out but I prefer it when he's here!

3:25 am

thanks rose :)

3:26 am

Hi Rose - hope all's good with you :)

3:26 am

as long as he doesn't leave for too long, I kind of like being in my own energy for a bit

3:27 am

liz, love, i know what you are saying. but at work i am surrounded by people, and when i come home, don just starts, almost non-stop. i crave some quiet.

3:27 am

there are two first names in the grid today... alida and ingrid.

3:27 am

Hey all - back again for a bit xx

3:28 am

hello worzel

3:28 am

We have our "quiet times" every evening - he does photo stuff on the computer and I babble in front of the TV - though I'm on the computer now.

3:28 am

wb, worzel. helloooo mate

3:28 am

hiya mum xx

3:28 am

Hi worz :)

3:28 am

heya sprite xx

3:28 am

how's the hip, worzel?

3:28 am

I like quiet times together. My love and I do that every thursday night.

3:29 am

no computer, no tv, just us and music and books

3:29 am

Oooh! Your hip's sore, worz - wish you better.

3:29 am

not great but it's better than it was yesterday. Doctor said it was just a bit of wear and tear and it'd clear itself up thanks for asking xx How's you and Dad?

3:29 am

Hi Liz and thank you hun xx

3:29 am

*sigh* i don't think don knows the meaning of quiet time. he just opens his mouth and out it all comes.

3:30 am

sounds like my ex wife lmao

3:30 am

lol rose... suggest one night a week without any talk... just body language...

3:30 am

OK - off to iPad - watching 24. Might chat - if I don't, enjoy your evenings / days. Hugs to you all and to Pugs (did I miss her?)

3:30 am

egad, sprite. don would think something was drastically wrong if he couldn't talk and connect to his computer....lol

3:31 am

take care liz xx

3:31 am

yes, liz. pugs has been and gone.

3:31 am

yeah we both did, Liz, she went to lie down before work. Have a lovely evening *hug*

3:32 am

all the more reason, rose, lol. So much to discover for him!

3:34 am

Mum can I ask you something? It's something I would usually email you about but I want this said in public if that's ok xx

3:34 am

:-( he would probably be up 5am the following morning to check his emails. it's bad enough having his mobile turn itself on at 7am. the light always wakes me. and if don has left the router on, then i have to listen to the chimes as his phone gets the emails. * rolling eyes *

3:34 am

go for it, worzel

3:35 am

lol rose... and how about your needs?

3:35 am

You remember the email problem person - well, are you aware of anybody else being "roped in" on it - as in out to get me?

3:35 am

don't worry about mentioning names xx

3:35 am

hmmm, can't say that i am aware of anyone else, mate.

3:36 am

is something happening? if so, let me know. nasty little so-and-so's.

3:37 am

ok no worries. It's just that certain information has come to my attention and I just want to say that it is only MALES on this site that are either causing the problem or going along with it. I find that a bit odd to be honest. Personally I think they are wary of the fact that I'm quite a "touchy feely" person on here and that I get along with everyone and they're jealous. I really want to say something else but I don't want to offend anybody lol

3:37 am

the email person is just trying to rally as many as they can to their banner. Some will go. Most are wary of this kind of thing though.

3:38 am

personally I don't think it is a man at all, lol. Just a persona that is supposed to be male.

3:38 am

worzel, probably not a good idea to aggravate. let us know via email, mate

3:39 am

Actually sod it, I will say it. I am bisexual so this is not a homophobic thing, but I just want to say gay men are sometimes a VERY bitchy bunch. Not that I'm saying any of these men are gay, but if they read my profile and they see I'm bisexual they, if they are that way inclined, might be being bitchy. Sorry if I've offended anybody - it isn't my intention

3:39 am

as sprite sa4. have evidence emailer has multiple persona.

3:40 am

oh, dear...the gloves are off...so to speak....worzel, you have my support, mate.

3:41 am

gay people can be bitchy for sure. But nothing beats a female bent on destruction, trust me. My advice would be to ignore it all. Realise it may be some frustrated lady trying to mess up the good things in babble out of spite.

3:41 am

worzel, gay men are VERY bitchy. i have worked with gay men..

3:42 am

not all of them, rose. I know several gay men who are very laid-back and relaxed.

3:42 am

that's a sweeping statement Rose

3:42 am

i love them to pieces, and they make the best nurses i have ever worked with.

3:42 am

Thank you Mum. As for the gloves being off it wasn't/isn't my intention to cause trouble and I appreciate what you said about aggravating/escalating the situation, but there's a certain person on here that is very popular and has been roped into the situation. Anyway, be that as it may, it's not getting to me, it's just something that needs to be said. End of rant lol xx

3:42 am

hello all

3:42 am

Hi Kallia xx

3:43 am

my son is gay and none of his friends is bitchy

3:43 am

okay, modification. gay men CAN be bitchy...but so can gay women.

3:43 am

and before this deteriorates into a thing about gay or bi or hetero or other... forget it all. It has nothing to do with that. Just a person who likes to cause flares and make waves. Ignore.

3:43 am

hi Kallia, I am with you

3:44 am

yep ignore them all, what they want is a reaction

3:44 am

so dont give it tp them

3:44 am

worzel, as for being roped in, some people are very very wary of a possible resurfacing of the Nancyboy imposter. Them being suspicious is not the same as being roped in, so don't worry about it.

3:45 am

one reason I am selective as to who I talk to lol

3:45 am

Kallia I do apologise if I've offended or upset you. As I said before not all gay men or women are like that, but the ones that are can be extremely unpleasant. I'm just such a peace loving person that I let it all out when I do have a rant - which is only about once every ten years lol. Please accept my apologies Kallia and Sprite if I've upset/offended you, it really wasn't my intention

3:45 am

lol Kallia, indeed :)

3:45 am

kallia, i really do NOT have anything against people who have been born with the wrong physical gender. my heart goes out to them as they struggle in today's world.

3:45 am

no I.m not offended at all Worzel

3:45 am

See, Sprite, that's the problem. Who's to say that this Nancyboy isn't the person that's emailing people? x

3:46 am

not offended, worzel. Just giving my advice, for what it is worth: the less said about it the better.

3:46 am

Worzel I am in agreement with sprite (as I often am :) )

3:47 am

it is, worzel. No doubt in my mind. So let's not have past successes at ruffling Babble feathers cause future successes as well :)

3:47 am

*hugs Kallia* How are you today?

3:47 am

people of all genders can be bitchy

3:47 am

Anyway, all I'll say to anybody lurking and seeing this chat is that I am NOT Nancyboy or whoever. I have been informed that his IP address was traced to the same city that I live in but there are nearly 500,000 people in this city and I know at least 3 other people from Liverpool who play on this site. Strange that they never get any crap that's all

3:48 am

oh man, ain't that the truth. I am sometimes ashamed of myself, when I in a hormonal swing and hungry... I get sooo hangry!

3:48 am

I'll shut up now. Sorry folks

3:48 am

not bad Sprite.......

3:48 am

yeah sutupa yer face :)

3:49 am

good to hear! I am having a lot of fun with this gr4 so far. Gerund gr5 are often fun. But slowing down now.

3:50 am

kallia?? please forgive me for causing you offence.

3:50 am

Just came back into Babble - Nancyboy - wow that's a name from the past.

3:50 am

It's very warm her this morning

3:50 am

my typing is appalling

3:50 am

lets leave hime there

3:50 am

What's the difference between aftershave and eau de cologne? Not the start of a joke, lol, genuine question

3:50 am

yeah here as well. Yesterday evening was horrid. Muggy and such 'heavy' weather.

3:51 am

may eau de cologne is stronger?

3:51 am

more like a scent?

3:51 am

aftershave is supposed to pull tight and freshen up the skin just shaved. Eau de cologne is only for the fragrence.

3:51 am

okay, aftershave is supposed to close the pores, cologne is only for scent.

3:51 am

or what rose said, lololol

3:52 am

oh, dear, sprite. snap!!

3:52 am

well done Rose x

3:52 am

ahh i see. So aftershave will stay smelling on me longer then will it?

3:52 am

worzel...equal on the scent issue

3:52 am

not necessarily, worzel. Depends on the strength of the scent on either.

3:53 am

Trouble is Di can put a perfume on and it'll still smell lovely the next day. I can put something on and it'll be gone within a couple hours! Mind you, she always smells lovely anyway (well, apart from when she farts *giggle*)

3:53 am

if you want something that stays with you for longer, use eau de parfum or even a perfume. Dab in moderation on places that have veins right beneath the skin, so your body warmth will release the scent.

3:54 am

oh, dear, worzel. i promise not to tell her that...

3:54 am

note of caution: not ALL places with veins right beneath the skin are advisable though...

3:54 am

I've actually just found out you can buy something called a fragrance primer which makes the scent last longer. Bet that costs a bit!

3:54 am

but, worzel, you have to pick a scent which agrees with your sk4.

3:55 am

what rose says. Find a perfume that harmonizes with your skin. Might take a while to find it.

3:55 am

True Mum - I've heard that before. Trouble is I've tried many aftershaves over the years and none of them stick to me. Anyway, I'll brb - am off to wake up the gorgeous lady and make her a cuppa xx *semi-poof*

3:56 am

took me ages to find a perfume that does not turn into a bad smell on my skin. And now that I have found it, they took out off the market, lol.

3:57 am

soth

3:57 am

*giggles*

3:58 am

my favourite perfume is elizabeth arden's green tea. on some people it just doesn't happen. worzel, to maximise the scent, i use shower gel, deoderant and spray on perfume, all in the same scent

3:58 am

mine is Cristobal, by Balenciaga. Just a tiny bit on wrists and behind ears, and in the cleavage.

3:59 am

I like Paris

3:59 am

I also love Angel, the perfume with cacao in it, lol. But it has become overused by too many people who just don't know the meaning of moderation.

4:00 am

ooohhh, the cleavage...wish i had one....but then again, i would never be left alone...

4:00 am

kallia, paris by???

4:00 am

lol silly! Am sure you have one if you wear a bra :P

4:00 am

cacheral I think

4:01 am

Not Yves Saint Laurent?

4:01 am

and just who says i wear a bra?? my darling friend called them two little flaps of sk4...and she was right...

4:03 am

lol. A bit between the two little flaps then, darling.

4:04 am

lol, mind you, don likes them. and size doesn't matter, right??

4:04 am

of course its YSL Sprite...lol

4:04 am

nope, size doesn't matter at all. And Don LOVES them!

4:05 am

found your cacheral paris, kallia.

4:05 am

lol Kallia, ok, then I know the one you mean. A nice fragrance!

4:05 am

yes but its YSL Rose...ask Sprite she knows her perfumes

4:06 am

must check it out next time i am in one of our major stores, kallia.

4:06 am

at some point I decided I wanted a fragrance that would fit me, and would smell good on me, and one that I love myself as well since I keep smelling it all day. So I went on a hunt. That is my only study of perfumes, lol.

4:07 am

I've worn it for years because it suits me

4:07 am

I've worn it for years because it suits me

4:07 am

I've tried others but always go back to it

4:08 am

that is what I did with Cristobal. But as I said, they have taken it off the market. Thank God I use it in moderation and still have a huge bottle left :)

4:08 am

hope you keep it in the dark

4:08 am

yes, always

4:08 am

good :)

4:10 am

got my NCS and EMG studies tomorrow at one hospital, than pre op stuff at the other.

4:11 am

pretty intense day, Kallia

4:12 am

yes, lots of waiting around, to far to come home after the first one

4:12 am

make sure you bring books :)

4:13 am

kindle;)

4:13 am

yay for e-readers! I have a kobo now, am so happy with it.

4:14 am

they are great, if I'm lucky there might be some free wi-fi too

4:14 am

that would make it perfect. As far as hospital visits can ever be perfect. I hope all will be as good as it can be, Kallia.

4:15 am

thanks Sprite, it's to decide where the surgeon needs to cut me...wristor elbow

4:16 am

nothing very major, but first op I've ever had.

4:16 am

even though it's only local anesthetic

4:16 am

then I hope they will be able to see it all clearly and develop a sound plan!

4:17 am

good morning everyone:)

4:18 am

05:18 here and up with the birds;)

4:18 am

hi crossy! *hugs* Wayyyy too long no see, dear friend. How have you been?

4:18 am

4:25 am

4:25 am

sprite - so you have the sr words?

4:25 am

hehehe He brings you peace, rose. Nothing to sneeze at ;)

4:25 am

SR words? Hi Dianne, no I don't, lol. Ok, hunting...

4:26 am

lol, do not make reading into work, rosie:) put it back on the shelf and let it mellow until either it is ready for you, or you are rady for it.

4:26 am

ready

4:26 am

da8, or8, or8, ri8, ro8, sk8, sr8.

4:27 am

missing the sk8 and the sr8 then.

4:27 am

Boo!!!

4:27 am

how many SR words am I looking for, Dianne? Two... a combo?

4:27 am

sr words...sr + total numbers + half of a laugh, the sound of laughter.

4:27 am

*scare*

4:28 am

I see my spectacular entrance didn't make anybody jump lol

4:28 am

sk8, to travel on snow + either/** + gerund end

4:28 am

sr x 4

4:28 am

ooer that sounds rood

4:28 am

ah got them, a combo indeed.

4:28 am

lol, worzel...

4:29 am

howdy, worzel. sorry, crossy is still half asleep

4:29 am

I jumped, actually

4:29 am

wow. That sr is amazing. Challenge for the day: work that one into normal conversation.

4:29 am

Soppy here just tried on a pair of shorts and stood on the wrong leg and went down like a sack of potatoes with me hip! Stupid boy

4:29 am

got the sk8, rose, weird one. As was the SR combo. Still missing two SR words now. One must be that 8.

4:29 am

hi Dachef! :)

4:30 am

Morning Chef

4:30 am

sprite - the 8 is a plural

4:30 am

morning all. Or afternoon. Or whatever it is on the planet you currently reside upon.

4:30 am

hm ok... is it related to the other SR words? I do have a plural.

4:31 am

*checks calendar* Let's see, it is tuesday... that would be planet housecleaning.

4:31 am

sr 7/8/6/7

4:31 am

no, the other two sr's are ...oh...yes...sr7/8...sr + almost total of numbers + half of laugh. sr6..then plural for sr7

4:32 am

sr7, 8, 6, 7

4:32 am

am lost now. I found a 6/7 combo with that clue, rose. Singular and plural.

4:33 am

double letter Sprite

4:34 am

aha! Thanks Kallia, that did it. Those are truly weird words. Must look them up. Sanskrit?

4:34 am

Thank you for the SR 7 & 8 new words for me.

4:34 am

in hinduism, a ceremony performed in honor of a dead ancestor. My new thing learned from babble for today.

4:34 am

ok am off to try and sew foitr a b

4:35 am

4:35 am

4:35 am

hello zooz! *hugs*

4:35 am

Toodle pips, Kallia :-)

4:35 am

Hello, Spritey :-)

4:36 am

and that sk8 was new to me as well. A sport in which you are pulled over snow or ice, apparently.

4:36 am

enjoy your day kallia

4:37 am

Not got that one yet..lol

4:37 am

I have enlisted help from the kids in cleaning the livingroom, btw. :D

4:37 am

so, that gave me fireflies. Very very nice gr4 today.

4:37 am

'help'? As in 'kids, clean the room. NOW.' sort of help?

4:37 am

I don't blame you..get them to clean while you watch and direct :-)

4:37 am

so, spritey. you have the 9's and the 8's?

4:37 am

Congrats, Sprite!

4:38 am

whoot...WTG SPRITE!!!

4:38 am

((Rose))

4:38 am

Dachef, exactly that sort of help :)

4:38 am

the best kind.

4:38 am

xxxxx,zooz. my mate!!!

4:39 am

son did protest. But I reminded him he helps in dirtying it as well.

4:39 am

I have no choice but to do it myself..but I kind of like it.

4:39 am

lol...no disputing that logic, sprite.

4:39 am

haha good point, Sprite.

4:40 am

so... off with me, work to do and ki4 to direct and all. *hugs* to you all, my friends. May you have a blessed day and a peaceful night, in any order appliccable.

4:41 am

You too, Sprite, Have a good one.

4:41 am

hope you day is kind to you, dear friend, sprite. xoxox

4:42 am

zooz, i have to ask...your icon...what is it?

4:43 am

It is a flag that people can fly on the Isle Of Wight..there was a competition to see who could come up with a new flag design. And that one won :-)

4:44 am

The diamond is the island and the wavey lines is the sea.

4:44 am

ahhh, thanx zooz. i was very curious.

4:44 am

wavy*

4:45 am

so you and the missus are on the isle of wight?

4:45 am

No problems, Rose, I think it is nice we have our own flag :-)

4:46 am

I am on my own, Rose, Been like that for a good number of years now.

4:50 am

ty all for the sr 7/8/6/7 combos. all new for me

4:50 am

as wekk as the sk 8/70

4:50 am

Same here, Crossy.

4:50 am

well*

4:50 am

Still not got that one yet..lol

4:51 am

so sorry, zooz. i am so ashamed..i shouldn't have asked that question of you

4:52 am

It is no problem, Rose :-)...Still after my little break-down I am on the way up again :-)

4:52 am

sk 8= what you do as a hobby on a snowy slope + a dull repeditive task is is this.

4:52 am

minus the b

4:52 am

terrible clue.. crossy needs more tea

4:53 am

you are very gracious, zooz. thank-you

4:55 am

((Rose)) Please do not worry.. I have been down and now on my way up..So all is good :-)

4:56 am

I think I am being very dumb here...I just can not see this SK8 I keep thinking of ski-slope..but nothing else..lol

4:57 am

zooz...what you do on snow + either/** + gerund

4:58 am

Oh..lol thank you got it!

4:59 am

Is the SK 8/ 70 the only sk8 or is there another?

4:59 am

yay, you zooz

4:59 am

only sk8

4:59 am

sr8...do you have that?

5:00 am

Now I understand your clue, Crossy, with the minus the B..lol

5:04 am

Yes I have that one..Thanks, Rose.

5:07 am

you were not dumb. My sad old clue left a lot to be desired;)

5:09 am

and since it is a word that 99% of us will never see written or heard spoken outside of babble, I think we all did fine:)

5:09 am

Agreed lol

5:10 am

speaking of babblets, just found a common one a ts 5/12

5:11 am

crossy, ts5/12 x 2...

5:11 am

ty rose:)

5:11 am

Also ts6/36

5:11 am

ty zooz

5:12 am

yw :-)

5:13 am

you have to wonder who )or what sits down and dreams these grids up!

5:13 am

I am sure they are done auto.

5:14 am

has to be. No human can be this evil

5:14 am

lol

5:14 am

you do, crossy. i have enable word list on my computer...and it comes up with words NOT in the grid.

5:15 am

never the other way around, fortunately.

5:16 am

rose, really? where did you get it?

5:16 am

otherwise i would be a gibbering mess in the corner...lol

5:17 am

jay, if you can't find it, email me. ( addy in profile) will send it to you.

5:17 am

great!

5:18 am

on a different tangent here, it is funny to watch the class i am in now; the teacher gave two weeks notice for a deadline on all old assignments to be handed in. The date was yesterday and no old stuff would be marked after that date. That will leave two weeks for all new stuff till the end of the class. That way she will not have to backtrack so far to do her marking. So, yesterday alone we had three leadies breakdown in tears, two guys had panic attacks and had to leave and one guy took his binder out to the smoking area, burned it, and left.

5:18 am

ladies

5:18 am

LOL wow!

5:19 am

we are now down to 13 people out of a starting class of 30

5:19 am

oh, dear, crossy. so, they were unpreparde?

5:19 am

Well to be honest what did they expect..just to sit there and twiddle their thumbs?

5:19 am

they had a full two week warning, rose, but they came in late, left for lunch half an hour leary and did not come back for the last 90 minutes of class after lunch

5:20 am

early

5:20 am

they are reaping what they sowed

5:21 am

Exactly, Crossy, sorry but i have no sympathy for them..unless they had a genuine reason why they had not done the work.

5:21 am

I have never seen the like of it before. I will say, however, that this teacher really pours it on with scarcely a breath to be had before going onto the next thing

5:22 am

personally, I find i need at least 2 homework nights of 3 hours each to keep up plus full attendance in each class

5:23 am

Then surly it is up to the individual to pipe up and say something if they are finding it a struggle?

5:23 am

I have a good friend who teaches adult learning classes in the evenings. She would say that that was fairly typical, Im sure. She told me once that most people turn up expecting not to have to learn because they are 'adults' and its therefore easy to learn, when in fact the exact opposite is true.

5:23 am

for example, I spent 2 hours last night just building a correctly formatted APA reference page

5:24 am

you are mostly correct, dachef. In my classes it seems that the ratio is 70% 18-25 year olds missing one or 2 credits for their O.S.S.D and 25% mature students such as myself, taking credits to open the doors of universities

5:24 am

I agree, Dachef, I too find it very hard to learn than say when I was younger. But I now try very hard..and when I find it difficult I tell the tutor that, so they can give me one to one.

5:24 am

75%*

5:26 am

it is harder for us "old farts" we have forgotten the habits of learning in a class environment and the learning curve can be hard at the start

5:26 am

Old farts LOL

5:26 am

but , we are stubborn and once we get going, we dig in and mess up that grading curve for the kids:)

5:26 am

Old farts of the world unite, we have noting to lose but our minds.

5:28 am

how can I lose my mind, when I am not sure where it was in the first place to have even lost it?

5:28 am

crossy, i am getting the feeling this is a case of what is usual with today's younger people. they expect to achieve what the older population have achieved after many years of hard work. they just don't want to put in the hard yakka.

5:29 am

lol, from what i see granny with all the girls with bulging bellies, they are all too busy trying to populate the planet to be worried about anything else

5:30 am

It is to the point where you do not notice who is peregnant, but who is not and thus stands out from the crowd

5:30 am

to wit...over here, young newly weds buys 5 bedroom , two storey homes to move into. and i am going what the heck? there is only two of you...why do you need 5 bedrooms?

5:30 am

lol, a litter must be on its way

5:31 am

it's just crazy....why must they have what it has taken their parents over 40 years to gain?

5:32 am

after having our one child, my beloved threatened to cut a part that is dear to me clean off with a bread knife if i did not get myself neutered.

5:32 am

:)

5:33 am

they take on the huge financial burdens too fast. get in debt for 30 years right off the hop

5:34 am

eww that made me go twingy,Crossy, Just the thought of it being lopped off..lol

5:34 am

my brother and his wife started off life with 60k of univerity debt. Took them 15 years to pay it off

5:34 am

oh, dear, crossy....as did my dearest friend...but she did go on to have their second. much to everybody's relief...including her beloved...( i was with her at the birth of her first...and i heard what she sa4

5:37 am

sooo, crossy, how many did you end up si6?

5:37 am

so, the end of the classroom tale is that she relented and gave half a day yesterday to catch up on work as well as all of today. i think the weeping and gnashing of teeth got to her, but i think it was the bonfire out in the smoking area that made the teacher offer the extra day and a half

5:38 am

Well too late for the guy that burnt his.

5:38 am

ROFLOL...crossy, tell her, from me...she is spineless.

5:39 am

sorry, do not have the si6. what you mean? did we have more kids? nope. Just the one son to carry on my illustrious name into the future

5:39 am

was a good fire, burned for a good 20 minutes; wish i had some marshmallows for roasting over the flames...

5:40 am

crossing. si6, si + engagement/wedding ****, what most women want

5:40 am

The si6 comes from the S below the D

5:40 am

she is young , rose, about 30 years of age with two young kids and home, both sick this week. i think they caught her at a weak moment

5:41 am

sadist

5:41 am

certainly looks like it, crossy

5:41 am

Damn...sorry everyone :-(

5:41 am

ty, that was the only way i was going to get it lol

5:41 am

and just where did that crossing come from??

5:42 am

?

5:42 am

have no idea

5:42 am

tis babble ghosts

5:42 am

crossy, i answered you, and crossing came up, instead of crossy. :-(

5:43 am

babble is haunted

5:43 am

You have gerund on the brain, Rose :-)

5:43 am

lolol. both of you. love you guys

5:44 am

Love you back :-)

5:46 am

I just walked out to Miss Bea's grave, to check on her.

6:27 am

How is she doing. Taking her well earned rest, I hope

6:27 am

I wanted to make sure no critter dug her up. I piled on dirt, branches, and rocks.

6:28 am

Nature can be cruel

6:29 am

Yes, some critter left the head of a chipmunk on my front porch in front of the door. I was not impressed.

6:29 am

Not a good way to start the day

That should get you over the line.

8:37 am

It is a fun borough, lots to do and across the river from NY

8:37 am

west, what part of Brooklyn?

8:38 am

not sure she lives on St Marks Ave

8:38 am

Brooklyn is becoming gentrified...great place for young people...

8:38 am

our ex bro in law is from Sheepheads Bay

8:39 am

That's where I am...between SB and Brighton Beach

8:40 am

you had that awful flooding..are you dry yet?

8:41 am

Things are still not back to where they should be. We are now building new electrical substations (much higher up)..that will take months to complete.

8:42 am

The city is finally replacing the boiler room in our middle school.

8:43 am

they can send it to the Smithsonian

8:43 am

Lots of trees died because the salt water came up for blocks and blocks. Right now the trees are being cut down on Ocean Parkway and new trees will go in. It was quite a mess.

8:43 am

I bet it kept the school nice and warm for decades

8:44 am

aw poor trees..one of my favorite books..A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

8:45 am

Yes, great book and a pretty good movie too.

8:48 am

bye for now

hi all

9:44 am

Howdilly doo!

9:52 am

Grid seems a bit daunting. Think I'll get a bit more coffee before I dive in.

10:00 am

It still amazes me that New York, which is close to an island (as surrounded by water as it is) never built in anticipation of a storm like Sandy.

10:02 am

That's because they NEVER had a storm like Sandy!

10:03 am

They usually follow the coast and Long Island gets slammed!

10:04 am

Yes that's true, but with all that water around, the potential for flooding seems likely.

10:05 am

Not a very common occurance and they know the limits. ..Sandy was unique!

10:06 am

And Manhtten IS an island and it's all rock!

10:09 am

hello

10:11 am

judi pb for you

10:14 am

I'm back. Oh crap. In the PB already? *schleps off*

10:14 am

lol judi sorry but hello

10:15 am

is the el 7 a real word?

10:16 am

Lots of traffic in the PB today. What with grid and list both being penalty words. Bar's open all day, drink up!

10:17 am

el7 is a protein that makes up stretchy bodily tissue.

10:17 am

El7 is a real word.

10:18 am

judi yes it is i have heard it before

10:19 am

Amazing what you can add ing to :)

10:19 am

What is this stretchy bodily tissue you speak of and how can I get some??

10:20 am

Talk to Mother Nature, Judi...

10:21 am

Alas. I have never been very stretchy.

10:24 am

nbt

hi all, and thanks for the EL7 clues

10:25 am

nbs

10:25 am

hi gwen

10:25 am

MLF, now I'm confused. Why did you ask if el7 was a real word if you have heard it before? : O

hi and wtg mlfan!

10:25 am

ty gwen

10:26 am

i asked before i saw what the word was after i got the clue

10:27 am

nothing wrong with that stop being so confused over such sily things Moly not worth it

10:29 am

Oh yeah, I'll do that

amen

10:30 am

was that at me diane?

I agreed with your statement, MLF

nbt woot

10:30 am

ty diane

10:30 am

congrats gwen me too

First thing I see within 2 minutes of opening chat is someone being criticized.... that is why I usually close chat.

10:32 am

diane you can stay nothing more to be said about it

egad, what the hell is going on?

10:34 am

not a thing Gwen ignore it

We'll all try to be more polite - but most of it is really just part of a friendly exchange.

10:35 am

it can be yes

please do not suck up everyone's valuable time (and fun) by discussing things that belong in a private message. (as someone once said in this room)

sordid! is not in the puzzle

10:36 am

Yes, I detected no malice on anyone's part. Must give folks the benefit of the doubt. Very rarely does someone say anything snarky here.

10:36 am

gwen not if you want it spelled the way it should be correctly in the grid no lol

10:36 am

yes.. save the "private" messages for bashing on Facebook ..

i swear i have found all the words yet it says i need 89 more. humph!

10:37 am

i hardly use fb anymore

10:37 am

Ruru! I meant to ask you the other day... which Audi did you end up getting?

10:37 am

I bought a TTS two seat coupe.. Black Convertible

10:37 am

gwen did you count the amount of words you hve in my word list?

Grids can be rally mean that way, doctor gwen

10:37 am

Purrrrrrr! Will you marry me?

I was not bashing... just coming to someone's defense who seems to get subtly criticized very often.

10:38 am

thank you diane

10:38 am

I didn't see any criticism .. it was a valid question

10:38 am

lol judi

mlfan, what are my words doing in your word list? LOLOL

10:39 am

That's the reaction I'm looking for Judi :D

well, i have my own cheat sheet, and there's lickety, but i'm way too lazy to open either one of 'em

10:40 am

gwen ohhh is that where they went lol

10:40 am

lol. Good luck, Ru. I watched "About A Boy" on HBO the other night. Hugh Grant was driving an Audi TTS and I wanted to marry him too.

10:40 am

your own cheat sheet what do you mean?

10:40 am

he's a lot better looking than I am Judi and he's a lot richer too..

10:40 am

judi isnt that a wonderful movie?

10:40 am

However he has a thing for Travestite Hookers..

10:41 am

Love About a Boy, have it on my computer

i keep a list of all the weird and silly words i have found in this game, which helpes me find them the next time they show up. it's only about 800 pages LOL

10:41 am

transvestite

10:41 am

ruru yes he does

10:41 am

I enjoyed it MLF. Was better than I thought it would be.

10:41 am

sukee great movie

10:41 am

Oh, don't pick on Hugh. He had one little mistake.

10:42 am

judi :)

10:42 am

little mistake?

hugh grant played the Doctor once. in a spoof. which I say counts. LOL

10:42 am

well it was a BIG one ... mistake that is

10:42 am

I think his beer goggles stunted his vision (and his common sense).

10:42 am

For anyone who cares i finished yesterday's grid

10:43 am

ruru yes it was Judi

10:43 am

at least he wasn't caught in a public bathroom with George Michael... just sayin'

10:43 am

Judi not sure he has any common sense lol

10:44 am

Good point, ruru. I believe Hugh has recovered from his indiscretion.

10:44 am

ruru thats an ugly picture isnt it?

10:44 am

but his career hasnt

gnirk should be a word. it looks cool.

10:45 am

he was really great in ONE movie.. the rest is fluff

10:46 am

ruru which movie?

10:46 am

four weddings and a funeral

10:46 am

I also like him in Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral.

lair of the white worm, of course!

10:46 am

agreed with sukee and ruru

10:46 am

gwen what?

10:47 am

He kind of plays the same character all the time. I wish he's stretch a bit. Then again, maybe all he gets are fluffy, ditsy scripts.

10:47 am

Wasn't a fan, then I saw About a Boy and all of a sudden I like him.

just what i said. lair of the white worm. a very nice little movie.

10:48 am

actors like hugh just have to stand there and look handsome and make faces

10:48 am

judi very true i think its kind of related to his personality in real life

10:48 am

Never heard of lair of the white worm.

10:48 am

gwen no idea what movie that is

10:48 am

I think he has grown a bit though.

10:48 am

ruru and little gestures

10:48 am

Anyone who would leave Elizabeth Hurley has to have his head examined anyway

well it's not a big hollywood movie or anything (but so what?)

10:49 am

He is not Colin Firth or Kenneth Branagh, but the is okay

10:49 am

gwen some of the best movies are the little ones

10:49 am

that is okay

anyone ever heard of matewan?

10:49 am

I liked Hugh in "Love Actually". I'm a sap for that sort of stuff.

10:49 am

ruru maybe it was her fault

10:49 am

I figured that judi

10:49 am

Of course, how could I forget Love Actually

10:50 am

no.. I don't think so mlf

10:51 am

I think Hugh would make a fine Prime Minister.

10:51 am

Actually, Hugh only picked up a hooker, Eddie Murphy picked up a transvestite hooker.

10:51 am

I thought Hugh's was a transvestite

10:51 am

LOL

10:51 am

thats true

10:51 am

judi a prime minister?

10:52 am

I could be wrong.. can't keep my Hollywood indescretions organized

so, you're bored, you're horny, and you have $6M in your back pocket. you might just pick up a hooker. (not me, though!) LOL

10:52 am

He played the Prime Minister in Love Actually. Called Margaret Thatcher a "saucey little minx".

10:52 am

Maybe he wanted the experience :)

10:53 am

bets BDG (if wealthy) would load up on Cabana Boys

10:53 am

I love it when he is dancing to the Pointer Sisters.

if i were rich i would go to more Doctor Who conventions, mmmmm

10:53 am

I would definitely load up on cabana boys if I were wealthy too :)

10:53 am

Who knew Hugh could dance?

10:54 am

Yay, I am currently wearing a Davd Tenant Doctor Who T-shirt.

ahhhhhhhh

10:54 am

lol judi i havent seen the entire movie of love actually yet but that is funny

talk about sexy Doctors!

10:55 am

gwen what number Dr Who is it now?

they're up to 12. 12 starts this year

10:55 am

<-----loves the Pointer Sisters

10 is easy to remember because Tennant starts with 10.

10:55 am

I'm looking forward to the new season, love Peter Capaldi.

10:55 am

is it a newer actor who is playing him?

me too!

mlfan, yes, every 4 years )give or take) it's a new actor. that's one of the amazing things about the show

10:56 am

Will be good to see another doctor closer to my age again.

10:56 am

whih versions have either of you seen the US or the British version or both?

10:56 am

gwen they do it on purpose?

10:57 am

The actors do it for a bit, then want to move on.

the Us version? you mean the TV movie starring Paul McGann? (which was jointly British and american). otherwise it's all british!

10:57 am

It was genius to make the Doctor able to regenerate.

mlfan, it's essentially a gimmick. the main character "regenerates" and gets a new face. thus, the show can never become stale, and the actor is not stuck playing it forever.

each actor brings his own quirks and genius to the part. i tell you, it's the greatest tv show ever made.

10:59 am

The reason I mainly look forward to Christmas is for the Doctor Who special :)

10:59 am

gwen good point

10:59 am

i think it wouldnt matter in most cases though if its subtle that is

subtle? no, doctor who is not subtle! LOL

11:00 am

Sure, sparks shooting out of someones eyes and hands is very subtle :)

11:01 am

no i mean when they change the Dr each time lol

11:01 am

Regeneration is quite dramatic.

11:02 am

Last year they had a worldwide TV special to announce the new Doctor.

this ain't like James Bond, where they gat a new actor but no one in the movie notices. on Doctor Who, it's a big deal when the Doctor regenerates

11:02 am

sukee kinda cool too

11:02 am

Gwen, who is your favorite companiion?

11:03 am

I was partial to Donna Noble :)

oh, bless you for not asking, who is your favorite Doctor, because that's a silly question!

11:03 am

i suppose if James Bond regenerated it would be a big deal and not just an actor change

11:03 am

That is. I like all the Doctors, eventually.

I like almost all the companions but some I find quite annoying (Adric and Nyssa in particular)

11:04 am

Do either of you know who kylie minogue is?

11:05 am

Of course

i know her from DW but other than that, a singer?

11:05 am

She was on a Doctor Who episode :) But I had heard of her before.

11:05 am

i saw the episode of dr who when she appeared in the show i love that episode

11:05 am

My niece's step brother is a huge fan of hers.

11:05 am

gwen yes a singer

11:06 am

she did a remake of the song Locomotion

11:06 am

the Locomotion

being an american fan of a british show, i'm not always aware how how "big" someone is who is on the show (big over in the UK, i mean)

11:06 am

I think I first heard about her on the Vicar of Dibley

11:07 am

Gwen me either

11:07 am

Sukee was that a tv series

11:07 am

?

11:08 am

Yes, a British one with Dawn French. I love British TV shows.

my mom was a big fan of vicar of dibley

11:08 am

i have heard of it

11:08 am

Clue for Ri7 & 8, please?

dawn french wa in a DW spoof once. i laughed a lot.

i only have ri7, a participle (?) of, a large group runing amok

11:10 am

Sorry, don't have them yet Judi

11:10 am

judi good question

Human-drawn Chinese passenger vehicle, alternate spelling without the upside-down M on the end.

That business with the upside-down M probably means I'd better check in to the PB!

11:10 am

or a particle gwen. i dont have that word either i just wondered though lol

ah, got it, ty helen!

11:11 am

ty helensgirl

ri4, an anagram of to4, to run amok. then add the verb ending.

Wow, 12 years for posting one word in chat? Harsh sentence.

1:46 pm

<---should know better...

1:49 pm

God help those poor people who post two and three words in chat, before they realize their mistake. They are probably locked up in some dungeon part of the PB, with only bread and water for sustenance.

1:50 pm

*pondering long term relationships with the cabana boys*....

1:50 pm

what about hose who accidentally post the WHOLE list in chat?!

1:50 pm

Fine with me too. If the whole list has the words we need to finish the grid, wow, that would be super.

1:55 pm

i just got or 7/8 not even thinking it would work

1:56 pm

And I thought listing in Lickety was a sin *tongue in cheek*

1:58 pm

So many sins...so little time...

1:59 pm

*checks one more sin off the bucket list*

2:00 pm

I would add that to my list of sins to confess, if I still believed in confession. : D

2:02 pm

LOL *sprinkles holy water around*

2:02 pm

Okay....back to flowers...be back soon *poof*

2:04 pm

*Watches as holy water shoots little electrical sparks off of skin (yes, I know that is a PB word)* Man, Jill's house must be so flowery.

??? How did you clue it if you didn't have it?

2:11 pm

the sk word?...you used it in chat...

2:11 pm

Oh, duh, I thought you meant the ao words.

Even if it was AO, if you use that list then if you see that there are two AO words then they would have to come from there because none of the other A's is next to an O, right?

2:14 pm

yes...

2:14 pm

need a break...bbl....

2:14 pm

back, hopefully to finish this gr4

2:18 pm

Hi Annie, how are things?

2:20 pm

Hi everyone. Killer humidity here

2:20 pm

Same here Bich. The warm weather crunch of the electric bill is on.

2:21 pm

My dehumifyer in the basement is running 24/7. Uses lots of electricity

2:22 pm

Hi Molly, just picked my head up, buried in this gr4. Finished laundry, went shopping and now some relaxation.

2:29 pm

I wish we had a longer stretch of mild weather between heat and air conditioning.

2:30 pm

Spring is the thing of the past..only in our imagination

2:30 pm

We haven't started with the AC yet. Uually when the temp hits 90 do we start it going

2:30 pm

We do have ceiling fans

2:32 pm

Ceiling fans and a dehumidifier help keep the air conditioning off. Alas, I don't have those. Only small fans I run to try and delay turning on the air conditioning.

2:50 pm

Can I get a clue for ti 7/40 ?

2:53 pm

Never mind, I found it

3:11 pm

Im done. Thank goodness for the gerund ending. This gr4 was a doozy.

3:14 pm

The gerund ending doesn't even begin to make up for all the weird words in this one. : )

3:26 pm

Hi all

3:26 pm

Annie, I spoke with Mom yesterday and she says hello to you and everyone

3:27 pm

Annie, if she has not sent an e-mail yet. she will do so soon. She has been very busy but she and her Sweetie are fine.

Wow Peri, you're phone buddies with Mom. Glad to hear she is doing well.

3:28 pm

we play words with friends and scrabble and chat on those sites.

3:28 pm

I could do without AC most of the time except if it is very humid. but this is not my house.

3:30 pm

TI 7 - alternate sp for adjective of like a jungle animal

3:30 pm

leave out last vowel in name of animal

3:31 pm

4:18 pm

I much prefer living by myself. then I can have people over when I want them

4:18 pm

It's kind of hard to describe, Nan. Look up da4ism

4:18 pm

do they paint lots of babies?

4:19 pm

It's hard to share housing with people, Peri.

4:19 pm

* sounds like it ;-)

4:19 pm

don't I know it, Molls

4:20 pm

unless it is people you choose to live, that is another story

4:20 pm

No Nan, it is more of a modern art thing.

4:20 pm

I don't think I could share our house with anyone

4:20 pm

Even people you choose to live with sometimes turn out to be difficult roommates.

4:21 pm

Not something I'm interested in -- like my paintings to look like something my 4 year old granddaughter doesn't do!

4:21 pm

or 6/24 pls

ah, I just remembered the word, ty Molls

4:29 pm

so now I know putt, tee, iron, fore! and mull**** :)

4:29 pm

it's not a golf shot -- it's a freebie some people give in a friendly game - not legal in competition

4:29 pm

Doesn't it mean something else too?

4:29 pm

ah, ty

4:29 pm

It's a kind of stew

4:30 pm

* when someone gives you a mull****, they give you permission to take a lousy shot over again without penalty

4:30 pm

Good evening

4:30 pm

Pardon my lack of proper golf terminology

4:31 pm

Proper clue: golf term

4:31 pm

4:32 pm

Actually, I'm not a golfer and I do know it. Just not in the proper way to clue it I guess.

7:05 pm

7:15 pm

hello....the other si 5 is a plural....

hello, peeps.

7:16 pm

Hello TO!

7:17 pm

hi

hi jilly, hi pen.

7:18 pm

I have been trying the plural of the word before it and Babble won't accept it even tho it is in the dictionary.

jilly, want to field a nursing question?

7:19 pm

Sure TO, will try!

7:19 pm

do you have the si 4/5 just before it (between the plackard and the plural)?

7:20 pm

yes!

7:20 pm

siths

7:21 pm

oops

7:21 pm

well both lickety and babble took my plural...

7:21 pm

make sure there is no space before the word when you type it in....

7:22 pm

got it...ty pen

7:22 pm

still won't take it

7:22 pm

yw

broken toe, cracks but no movement of bone. a heard heal?

7:22 pm

you sure you don't already have it?

7:23 pm

yes!

sorry, meant to type had heal?

7:23 pm

Not sure I understand your question

7:23 pm

is it the word I typed in the chat by mistake?

7:23 pm

no aeb

7:24 pm

sounds like what is the fine layer in a river, but change the 't' to another consonant

oh hell. i brokemy big toe and am hoping it is not a hard thing to heal. foot doctor did not sound dire but another doctor said sometimes they just do not heal

7:25 pm

rhymes with bu*** (lke to make a house)...

7:25 pm

I finally got it ! Ty all!

7:26 pm

Keep it supported TO and elevated. Did they have you immobilize it? And which toe?

7:26 pm

yw...

i have a hard soled shoe,but i do not have a regular shoe that matches well with it. gait is waddly

i beleive the cracks are under the nail. it was a crush injury.

7:28 pm

Oh, that can be problematic. Had that happen to me, but was foot bones, that was 50 years ago and every now and then the bones get twisted up

7:29 pm

any problem with osteoporosis or osteopenia?

7:29 pm

Evening all.

7:29 pm

hi GA

7:29 pm

May I please have a clue for si6-24? Thanks

well, he said i can take the shoe off in a week and then to use ommon sense. no dancing near term. only come back in a month if there are problems. he was nonchalant.

7:30 pm

fathering a horse...

7:30 pm

Thanks much, pen.

yes, but doctor who treats for that says toe is not an involved bone.

7:31 pm

si6/24=what kings do to produce an heir

7:31 pm

I am sure it'll be fine TO

7:31 pm

Thanks much, Jilly.

7:31 pm

yw...

7:33 pm

yvw peach

still swollen but i do not think ice helps at this point. going downhill or down stairs is uncomfortable. mostly pain now acompanies walking as opposed to the pain all the time

7:34 pm

Still ice it and keep it elevated when sitting, it'll keep the swelling down more

7:35 pm

Also, elevation promotes blood flow

7:36 pm

phone....brb, need a break anyhoo...

still wondering what common sense is when i remove the shoe. dancing would not be common sense, for sure but three weeks out i will do it if pain is gone

7:44 pm

8:17 pm

8:18 pm

9:13 pm

nomination for "dumbest word of the day" - SK 8/70

9:14 pm

hi again all! had the puppy out, he seems ok as does the big dog

9:16 pm

So good to hear uusue!! What a scare to have!!

9:16 pm

indeed!! Who knew??

9:16 pm

agree teach

9:17 pm

of course, the whole little escapade cost me $2400.....

9:17 pm

Second dumbest is ts6/36

9:17 pm

what happened?

9:17 pm

what's up with your pup uu?

9:17 pm

OUCH!

9:17 pm

they got into some sugarfree gum - turns out the xylitol in it is a deadly poison for dogs

9:18 pm

we got them to the emergency vet hospital less than 2 hours later, and they both had low blood sugar although not dangerously low, thank goodness

9:19 pm

oh my...

9:19 pm

i am heading to bed....g'nite all....

9:19 pm

so they spent the night and day there, got IV glucose until their sugar levels came back up, got all kinds of other things checked, seem ok now although we will still have to have them tested for liver damage in another day or two, as that doesn't always show up right away

9:19 pm

You need to put things away and completely out of reach uu

9:19 pm

had no idea

9:19 pm

night, penq!

9:19 pm

did you know what was wrong when you took them?

9:19 pm

nighters pen :)

9:20 pm

so besides being crazy worried, and now relieved, I am telling lots of people so they know how dangerous it is

9:20 pm

thanks for the heads up... I had no idea

9:21 pm

yes, my son came home and found shredded gum wrappers but no gum - he thought it just might clog them up but when he started looking into it, he found out about the xylitol

9:21 pm

they weren't acting very symptomatic - in fact they seemed fine - but that is good, as if they catch it early they can get their blood sugar back up and avoid a lot of bad results

9:22 pm

ugh...well at least you knew what was wrong

9:22 pm

indeed. no more sugarfree gum for us!!!

9:23 pm

Thank goodness your son looked it up!

9:23 pm

we have a few packs laying around...our old dog cant get to though...wonder if it has similar effect on cats...will tell the girls to put it away

9:24 pm

no, apparently cats are fine with it, not that they would deign to eat such a thing anyway

9:24 pm

Well, lots on, so going to head out for the night. Happy babbling all, WooTs to all finishers and early WooTs for those still working *poof*

9:25 pm

night, Jill!

9:25 pm

Bye Jilly :)

9:25 pm

lol...our cats are strange...wouldn't put it past them

9:26 pm

must remember to put gerund ending on everything in this gr4...

9:26 pm

yes..and plural

9:27 pm

that too although I seem to miss fewer of those...

9:47 pm

Don't even talk to me about cats after the past two weeks. Mine are lucky I'm a pacifist.

9:49 pm

hi, mimi :-)

9:49 pm

((sue))

9:50 pm

so what did your cats do?

9:50 pm

One tripped me and put my arms out of commission and the second one spilled sugared iced tea on my laptop.

9:51 pm

oh dear :-(

9:51 pm

that's right, I remember your arms were injured - are they any better?

9:51 pm

Yeah...God knew what he was doing giving them to me. Anyone else would probably have killed them by now considering all the destruction they've done.

9:52 pm

well, I'm glad you are better, anyway!

9:52 pm

okay...I made it to 200...will all the stupid S's and T's...must get to sleep

9:52 pm

They were better, sue, but I re-injured them installing my new computer since I must move furniture to hide the computer workings from the cats.

9:52 pm

Bye, smores.

9:52 pm

{{Mimi}}

9:53 pm

night smores!

9:53 pm

ugh...hope you feel better soon dear...night

9:53 pm

night uu...glad your pups are ok

9:53 pm

my cats are mostly harmless except the small psychotic one bites every now and then, and I have to go get antibiotics (since they're usually puncture wounds that don't bleed much)

9:53 pm

I'm a tough old broad...I'll get through it.

9:54 pm

thanks, smores!

9:56 pm

Sue...it seems like you and I have similar cats. Mine have left a path of destruction in m apt. But these are the most affectionate cats I've ever had, so I endure....I recite this mantra on a regular basis "It's the living creatures that matter, not the inanimate objects" and I keep repeating that until I believe it.

9:57 pm

my large fat cat used to be quite cuddly, but she's getting pretty arthritic, I think, and doesn't move around much any more

9:58 pm

All three of mine are under 5 so are quite active and rambunctious. I'm too old for this, but they are so loving. They were all strays....what can I say?!!!

9:59 pm

right now I have old cats (including the small psychotic one although she never seems to change much) and young dogs. Interesting combination.

10:00 pm

My last two cats were 18 and 20 when they died and never sick. I was sure I'd never care for any ever again...WRONG!! Glad, though...they are so sweet.

10:00 pm

interesting - just found the sk8 that people were complaining about before - I've always seen it spelled with a "j" in the middle

10:01 pm

my cats are at least 10 and 12, and maybe older; I adopted them as adults

10:01 pm

I have a week off and lots of home projects to do. Good to touch base. Night and hugs. Good to see you, sue!

10:02 pm

take care, mimi! Give the cats a hug from me!

10:05 pm

fireworks!

10:53 pm

this wins the prize for the largest no. of never before seen words!!

11:07 pm
