tahnks ru, my missing ones too
well, try convoluted instead...lol
wow saanich.. nice going..
I kept trying to add mor letters to the base word
that'll do it I think
haven't finshed the whole grid yet though, usually I save some for morning coffee
I can't wait on these small grids
I like to finish them in an hour
but that's just me
minver cracks me up with saving her last word for hours and then puts it in
oh didn't know that - it is funny!
afraid I'd forget
me too
where are you now ru, neverneverland
I almost forgot to finish the grid the other day
neverneverland?
i'm in the Solomon islands flosey :D
I've done that and come in just before flip and realized!
you don't have a flag
oh.. there isn't a flag I guess for the Solomon islands
or it's a sheet
where I am looking from, it says "Solo" in your flag spot, lol
maybe they don't give a sheet in the Solomon islands
I just saw four flags from SI
HI rbud
where exactly is that ru, all I know is it's in the Pacific somewhere

Hi Pink--long time
hi pink
hi pugs hiay
flosey dear hello
hows things with you Pink
what is new and exciting around here
whoa!!! yay it's a pink.....hurrah!! hello hun. where ya bin?
nothing new or exciting with me just a bad at this game as ever
bad storms here today
I got a part time job since I last seen you
well, just passed half way, have been chatting
the lady of ladies grannyrose how u feeling
pug super how many hours per week?
nasty storms...* you stay away from our pink, you hear?*
same here Pink and its been like that for about three days now and hot and muggy too
lol I did not melt in the rain
twenty five Pink
pink, feeling a lot more positive th5 days. actually looking forward to going to work.
o I thought u had returned to work???
pug that's great still some free time for babble lol
tried, pinks, and fell in a emotional? heap. had to back off and start again.
yes, lol
work should not interfere with babble pugs lol
true Pink-lol
grose when do u try work again? Was the pain overwhelming?
or stress overload
pink, it's really weird. my brain blocks the pain messages, i felt very hot, sweat pouring off me and nausea +++. my body's reaction to pain at the moment. so i backed right off, started with just one hour, and only increasing in 1/2 hour increments every few weeks.
grose what a reaction, I do hope ou can build up. Are you still in therapy?
oh, and the muscles in my back were cramping so much, i couldn't take a deep breath. better now. am taking extra magnesium during the day to get me through.
yes, pink. hydro monday and friday, hands-on physio on wednesday.
Grose you have had a ROUGH 8 months or more
I think it is great that your employer allows you to increase work hours in increments
oh, and i have found a doctor who knows how to treat symptoms of fibromyalgia and central sebsitivity syndrome. have appointment in august to see him...lol...he is very popular.
*sensitivity*
pugs what are you doing in your job if I may ask.
oh, you didnt tell us th4 Rose--th4s good news
grose I think sebsitivity sounds more exotic lol
we make gaskets for all kinds of stuff, from semis to faucets
my employer is fi4, my doctor is fi4, my physio is fi4...it's the workcover insurance company who is being an a-hole.
do you have to stand a lot pUgs?
I do for I run a large press
grose always someone not cooperating insurance companies have too much power
pugs, only found out today. letter came in mail...oh, and pugs, thank-you for your lovely card and it's contents...you really shouldn't have, but i love it.
pugs I hope it works out well for you, I truly do.
glad you liked it, and you are welcome
sounds likje grose needs to visit Indiana
like
ok friends off to surf the web good to SEE you and take care
thanks so much Pink
nice to see you Pink
you too, pink. thanx for dropping in, dear. nice to catch up. xoxox
Rose, I have been talking to someone on DS and they are from the same city as you
not difficult, pugs, there are a lot of us in melbourne. if you want to put her in touch with me, that's fi4.
no I would not do that Rose, I dont know them that well and its not mel. but vic
victoria is the state, pugs. and th4's okay. when you feel more comfortable, you may do so. my email addy is okay to hand out.
I wouldnt feel right doing that Rose, I would more give you theirs if they gave it, which I havent asked
does anyone have a clue for te5/10? tenge is in the enable dictionary but it is not accepting it!
te5/10, system of belief?
or te5/10, past, present, future form of verb
thanks rose, I just got so hung up on tenge not being accepted, very strange as it is in mw
or te5/10, plural of 13-19 year olds.
have all the t
all the t words now, thanks
nice, flosey, good job
thanks rose
I had a visit from Gradyn and his little brother and step mom, yesterday and we go to court thursday :(
Gradyn's mom's new boyfriend just got arrested for drugs, so that will hopefuly look good in court towards us
good luck pugs, hope things work out as you are hoping
good morning all :)
thank you Flosey
good morning and hugs and hi Sprite
that does sound hopeful, pugs
hi there Sprite
Sprite did my email come through last night? Just as I hit send the storm hit
*hugs pugs and flosey* Sounds good, pugs.
the short one, pugs? I replied to that one.
whoot, whoot!! spritey's here....{{HUGS}} hun. how are you?
nope, then it didnt--I will redo it later--sorry
*hugs rose* Am fine, darling. Had a lovely day yesterday and am now paying the price. But otherwise very well. How about you?
good grief, pugs. mom and boyfriend simply cannot keep their lives on the straight and narrow at all.
no problem, pugs. It should still be in your Out box in your email program, though.
awwww, *much gentle hug and butterfly kisses*
sprite, just one word...magnesium??
good word, rose. Yes, will take some extra today.
I dont know how to do that Sprite--just when I hit send, the storm hit and the thing said dissend or something like that
pugs, in your email server, is there a tag marked 'drafts'?
yes Rose
there should be a folder called Out or Concepts in your email program. The email should still be in there and all y ou would have to do is to send it again.
or Drafts, indeed
open that then, your email may still be in there.
okay, thanks
or like sprite said...really why do i bother opening my mouth. sprite says it so well....lolol
lololllll
killed the Ks.
yes Rose, she is living with this guy thats on drugs and has several records under his belt, like stealing cars and such
at least pugs gets it in stereo...
easypeasy court session then, pugs. No way a judge will think that that is a good place for a young boy.
and I like that too-:)
I do hope so Sprite
I just wish she would leave him be--He goes to her house and she brainwashes him
she is a really toxic mum
she told him not to long ago that she wish that his stepmom and half brother would die and he came home crying
its stuff like that, that she does to him
let me rephrase that. She is a toxic mum that should be kicked in the behind, then gagged - permanently.
yes!, she dont need any kids
she doesn't deserve him
well, make sure you tell the judge about that, pugs.
amen to that, flosey
the lawyer knows all this stuff
no she dont Flosey and shes got two more that are younger then him
the dad's lawyer, or the mum's one?
the dad's
if she isn't careful, the judge may well decide she can't have the other two either
very good.
that would be a blessing for the other two for sure
imagine telling a child that. I could easily do something unlawful to her for that alone
I talked to Gradyn last night and he does not want to go there at all
how old is Gradyn?
it is a great thing he has you for support, pugs, and for telling him healthy things about his right to speak up for himself and be heard.
He really likes his step mom and little brother, Iam so afraid he's going to have issures later on in life
hes 8 flosey no and will be 9 the end of sept
8 now I meant
in grade 4?
pugs, he probably will. But he will be able to overcome them. Your support is very important and makes a huge difference.
he will be going into the 3rd
all the confusion, commotion must be very unsettling for him
and he has a good dad. Makes a lot of difference as well.
absolutely, Sprite, agree 100%
it is and it started when he was very young. He was late talking and stuff due to all the crap
yes, thank God for that
yes, that happens, pugs, but if his homelife gets settled, he'll catch up
shes not even working and since her boyfriend is in jail no money coming in the home
all good news for the court session, pugs
yes it is for us but those other boys, I feel so sorry for
17 to go but I'm getting sleepy, will do them tomorrow
night night flosey, lovely dreams
good night Flosey, take care
nighty night, flosey. hope you have a lovely sleep.
pugs, you are letting your worry thoughts rule you... try and focus on what you CAN change... you can speak up for Gradyn and make sure the judge knows about the mother. The rest is not in your hands.
goodnight ladies and my hopes and prayers are with the children's homelife being settled
I know Sprite, you are so right
thanks Flosey
*hugs pugs* I know how that goes, dear friend, I do this myself as well, so that is why I say it
I been letting things get to me here lately and got to do as you told me before--the stuff going on with friends here and home here and so on
it is the way we have 'trained' our brains and thoughts to work, pugs. Learning a better way takes time and at first it is so very easy to slip back in the old patterns. Don't feel bad about it, just try and get back into the new one.
so what are your guy's week-end plans
today I have to shop and cook. For the rest I plan on taking things slowwww :D
you say that Sprite but it hardly ever happens for you-lol
praying for some sunshine so i can go out and plant those wretched tulips....lol
might even ask my girl to go get the groceries for today. Hm good idea.
what are you planning on cooking
lol rose :)
something extremely simple, for sure. Macaroni maybe.
I will send you some of ours Rose
well i have nearly run out of time....every time i feel well enough to go out, the weather changes and rains...:-(
oooh, sprite, macaroni cheese?? do you add bacon pieces?
can you not start them in a pot in the house
bacon or ham. bacon is a good idea, actually
and make that garlic cheese, yummy
garlic for sure
*giggle* any level areas in house covered with begonias or cyclamens...
I want some--lol making me hungry
you are very welcome to come join us for dinner :)
okay, will be right over--lol
good :)
want me to pick up Rose on the way
sure, and Don is welcome too. Don't bring W though. *giggles*
i'm a tad heavy at the moment, just send the little red wagon...lol
I was thinking more of the broom--lol
*knock, knock, knock, knock* darn....sprite is taking forever to open this door!!
it is open, it is open!
ooohhh, come over here and say th4, madam pugs...
are you crazy? Not going to ruin it by bringing him--lol
well we could give W a minute or 5 with my husband... would do him good...
oh, sprite, fang is going to be in the UK/scotland in july. shall i send her over??
well I think the ocean would put a stop on the red wagon, where as my broom would be np-lol
yes do Rose, I know Sprite would just love that
oh please do, rose! *sharpens sarcastic tongue to the max*
oh, YOUR broom, th4's okay th4. make sure you fit the booster rockets....lolol
will do and are you not traveling with fang Rose? lol
'oh fang, how absolutely lovely to finally meet you! Heard all about your generous heart from our rose. Yes. You are amazing. Such a support, and so unselfish. A true example for us all. Errr... why are you getting so purple in da face?"
LOL, Sprite
some people cannot take a compliment, bless their hearts...
brb, need some magnesium. and to quote a certain friend..." are you crazy? not going to ruin it with her" unquote.
we wil ask fang to take care of W, and vice versa.
now theres a good ideal
I will give him to her free of any charges
*giggles* Am picturing it. It would be awesome.
my new dictionary word for today: ouiing - saying yes in French
Sprite, have you made plans on what you are doing with the friend on your birthday
oh, i have to tell you, when we finally got home the other night, it was to a very disgruntled-looking canary. he had both of us laughing.
egest egests
we will go for lunch together
good ones, mari
awwww so cute, rose
Hi mari
were you out too late for the bird's taste Rose
don said it looks like he's saying 'and what time do you call this?' and i thought he was saying.." and where have you been for the last 7 hours?'
oh rose, pug said you had said I was right about something. That is rare enough to get me guessing... please email me about it? :)
lol, I love that canary of yours
g'day mari
okay, sprite, an email would be best.
I love emails.
I would like to know if there is three or more in this
the canary would only to have crossed his wings to complete the picture.
let me rephrase that. I love emails from friends :D
one, pugs.
oh, I can picture that easily, rose, lol
I feel so stupid on that :(
don't, honey. Please don't. I'll email you about it.
and tapping his little foot...*sigh* our lives ruled by a bird...
well Iam very sad about it for sure
he is definitely a manary, grin.
pugs??? you are NOT stupid...please stop saying th4. it makes me so upset....
okay Sprite
lol I played babble when I came home yesterday, after my dinner. One of my first words was yttria. Isn't that worrisome??
well like I told you both(which sprite didnt get) this is the only place I have interacted with people around the world and Iam not very wise on stuff like that
pugs, you are one of the wisest women i know, the other is sprite, and my friend june.
I agree, rose, about our pugs being wise.
My favorite Aunts name was June-lol
thanks but I dont know about being so wise
funny thing to name children after a month
reminds me of ma and pa kettle--lol
sprite did i tell you about the hacker?
that you managed to stay safe, yes
okay, will add further info in email.
good, can't wait to read it all. Feel like I have been away for a whole week in stead of one day
it has been a whole week--lol
lol
sent, hun, sprite. if you have any questions, ask away.
will do, darling
okay, Iam going to try sending you the email again Sprite and then I need to go shower, so love and hugs to you both, blessing a bunch too
hope your day is good to you, dearest friend. xoxox
have a lovely day, pugs *hugs*
fireflies. Rose, am off to answer my emails. *hugs*
WTG SPRITE...ANSWERED YOU SWEETIE. DO YOU HAVE TIME TO CHAT?
lolol....sorry, didn't mean to shout....omg!
May I please have a clue for any 'et' word? Thanks
hey ya peach, et6, et + short laugh + not south, not west. plural as well
et6, et + female chicken + not west, plural as well
et4, first three letters of those words, plural
Thanks much, Rose. Got all but the first two.
Have all of the et's now.....thanks again
Too sleepy for more words....will come back later in the day. Blessings!
â—¦When is a school paper not a school paper? â—¦When it's turned into the teacher.
good morning everyone
and back for a bit...g'day crossy.
lol...o-o...an oly but a goody.
*sigh* oldy
ugh. mrs and I did a 6k hike on a moderate hiking trail yesterday afternoon and every part of my body hurts today:(
howdy granny
oh, dear...it would appear 5k is about your limit at the moment, crossy.
well, the 5 k i told you about was easy flat terrain. this one we had to be a bit of a mountain goat
so we will not puch beyond this for a while i think
push
sounds like a good plan crossy. oh, and btw...now have started a tale of two cities...
we were fortunate though. deep in the forest we were lucky enough to see a stand of first growth maples that must of missed the woodsmans axe in the 1800's we just sat there and looked at them for 15 minutes they are amazingly beautiful. I have never, ever seen sugar maple trees that high
Good morning, happy Friday
very good. Goinbg through all the big classics eh?
howdy sukee
nice crossy. and g'day sukee.
lol, crossy. be strong mate....next on the agenda are the brothers grimm.....
from where we sat under the canopy, i literally could not see the tops of these 5 or 6 trees;)
ohh! you will love those
an amazing sight, crossy.
I will make a jigidi puzle of one for all the babblers
puzzle
and th4....if don has finished them....the works of sir arthur conan doyle....
I have that and can share it with you in ebook format if you would like
not too big, please crossy. i am working from a laptop.hard to sort more th4 250 pieces.
ok, i promise not more than 200 pieces
weeeelll, make it bigger for others, just a little smaller one for me, please. what is your user name there?
crosshair, of course:)
ahhhh, okay.
I already have some nice puzzles there for you to explore
there is only one crosshair, of course.
many of them taken by my beloved and mysel on Blue Mountain
of course there is only one:) two crosshairs would probably tear space or open a black hole or something;)
two crosshairs would be chaos; like dividing by zero:)
Hmm, discovered a new site. I'll have to check it out
what sukee, Jigidi?? be careful it is a time vampire
Yes :)
but do check out Crossy's quality jig-saw puzzles
and sprite is there also under the name spritlet
Just what I need, another was to procrastinate
way
and you do it so beautifully, sukee
I have always wanted to procrastinate at that level but i have never gotten around to doing it;)))
*giggle* crossy...practice makes perfect, mate. start with the dishes of a night, th4 extend to the mowing...
my record is a year to change a defective light switch
After i changed it, the thing was such a novelty they everyone in the house kept on going over and using it
roflol....love it.
suddenly a functioning light swith instead on unscrewing the bulb everytime becomes a big deal and a treat lol
i can see i need to drink some of this tea.. darn typos
one year i procrastinated so long i sent the christmas cards 12 months later....but nobody noticed....
lol, procrastination and perfect timing!
of, course, crossy, what do you take me for?
Had a cat throw up emergency
Luckily, he threw up in the bathroom, not on my bed that he has done recently
ewww, sukee. not nice...
I hope to reach that level of procrastination sometime soon, but it will have to wait:)))
ever have one barf into your pillow and you did not know about it. You lay down to a nasty surprise at bedtime
not me....but i did find it in the dark, with bare feet....yuck, yuck, yuck
even worse is a 2 am trip to go pee and all of a sudden you feel something warm and lumpy squishing up between your toes...
and it squished up between my toes....
snap
omg, crossy....SNAP
you owe me a beer, rose
It's not only cat. Turn over in your sleep and get a face full
huh??? and what happened to my bourbon? huh? huh?
oh, good grief, bichon, a face full of what?
ok, bourbon it is. I will bring a bottle and we can sit on the beach and watch the sun go down
Dog barf, what ever the dog ate that day which didn't agree with him. Largely, but not limited to grass
crossy...wild turkey?? yeah??
lol, easy rosie:)
oh, no, bichon....i think i'm gonna lose my dinner.
nice topic for this fine sunny morning; pet vomit
lol
This is the crowd crossy
And it's almost time for the gym
and its consistency, texture, colour and temperature lol
roflol...who started it?
There was a hair ball in the middle of all that food he just ate
I brush him very frequently too
probably me, rose
oh, th4's right...SUKEE did
lol
yes! sukee! blame sukee! lol
And he is right back at the food dish now :)
nah, nah, nah, sukee
:P
and....NOW it's time for gym....
I'm gone...
there's a part of the brain of a dog which is called "love of the putrid"
they do indeed. We used to have a kennel and raised pure-bred shephards and i will not even get into the things they used to eat
or roll in
My Polo loves ear plugs
we had one who used to like to escape and roll in road kill
oh lord....other dog's poop.....or horse/cow manure....my first dog i ever had did th4 regularly.
The epitaph on his grave "Died doing what he loved best"
as i recall we got him sold off before he went under the wire again and became road kill himself
my last could find a patch of stinky mud in the midst of a drought. boy, did he pong!!
lol, yes, some nice swamp mud
pong?
or the chicken manure pile
stink bichon
smell, bichon, in a bad way...
crossy can speak much U.K and aussie slang
I am so limited
crossy good.
yuppers;)
only because my da could roll it off of his tongue like a native even though we have been in canada since 1966
Crossy, why did your folks move to Canada?
hokay, i have now been up for nearly 16 hours....starting with hydro early this morning...brain dying...mouth yawning....eyes crossing...lol. loving you and leaving you. enjoy the grid, friends.
wow! get some rest rosie!
night rose
my grandfather put us all aboard a plane because there was not real work at the time and my da already had an uncle in canada to sponsor him
so we all came over in 66. Crossy was 2 at the time
Sounds like a good reason
My ancestors came to the US because the streets were paved with gold
and as now, the tcost of living in the U.K is just insane

Yes, TO. Just a short hop.
I've heard of it. Always wanted to go, but I'm way too far away
Be sure to visit the lily pond and the orchid room.
Should be wonderful weather for Longwood today. Won't be too hot.
Off I go to fill in at the other office. Torture, but I must be a good team player. (Not that I have any choice).
have a good day. i won't be walking too much today.
good morning, babblers

Hello, Annie.

Surrrrrre. Rub it in, while the rest of us drones slave away.

halfway, NBT and NBS - time for a breakfast break
Hi, Dorens!
Hi kids.
howdy scrabby!
Hiya, Scrabbs!
Hi, Crossy!
eg
So many phone calls! I have to get mom ready to be at home and am straightening out credit card stuff from the theft.
They stole your credit card stuff or hers?
hello scrabs - what theft?
My car was vandalzied--smashed window, and backpack with purse stolen last week.
s
e
I just discovered that Chase Bank canceled the WRONG credit card!
oh crap!
Way to go Chase Bank! Butt heads.
Doren, you are not saying much today.
Sorry to hear you were robbed. That majorly sucks.
I got a Chase Freedom card in the mail yesterday and discovered that my Chase Amazon account was still active. Idiots.
Fortunately there was no activity on my Amazon card.
ti
quin
quins
Oops, I thought that was a Q in the upper left corner. Geez, I am not right in the head.
no q in da grid scrabby
The less Qs we encounter the better.
lets quickly quash the q's
I awoke with a migraine so vision in my left eye is blurry.
Understandable, considering the stress you are under. *passes drugs and refreshing lemon water*
Wait. You're a doctor. You should be passing me drugs!
drugs??!! where??!
Too much stress--rabbit died, theft of ID, mother in rehab, getting mother's house ready..
poor scrabby
I will hike soon, for 2-3 hrs, and my mother already expressed her disapproval. She thinks I should be cleaning her house. I think I deserve to take care of Scrabbler once in a while.
A doctor with one blurry eye writing prescriptions. We have a chance to make our really well here, Crossy.
I did a glorious 6 k hike on the bruce yesterday scrabby!:)
you can google it actually it is a pdg of the pretty river side trail
You certainly do, Scrabbs. Hire a house cleaner and go out and suck in that good fresh air.
pdf*
yes, scrabby, sign this blank scrip.. lol
My mother is a hoarder (dad was too) thus we cannot just ask someone to clean, we need to determine what to keep and what to toss. My mother is mad that her house is going to look different.
BBS--must get breakfast.
Oh. A hoarder situation is ten times the stress. One day at a time, dear.
There was a story in the news the other day - a woman hoarder in PA or NJ - first floor collapsed into the basement. She was in the basement. Died of suffocation. Awful.
Took three days to dig through the rubble to actually find her.
Clue for Fu5, please?

Hmm. Not getting that clue.

Back, for another 10 min.
There are too many damn G words today.
Hi Scrabs
agreed judi
I ran outside to replant dug up sunflower seedlings which I planted last evening. Damn raccoons, or squirrels, or that bear, dug some up. They look for bulbs under plants.
and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
The average lead pencil will draw a line 35 miles long or write approximately 50,000 English words.
GD G words
Not in this house...the puppy eats them.
lol@ puppy pencils
Your puppy eats pencils?
Graphite, actually, and that is what Nutty Buddy just named her new puppy. A "Silver Lab."
Great name
should of named the puppy HB #2
lol. I would love to have a garden. However, the abundance of critters would have a feast and we would never get any of it.
Unfortunately, he breaks them up into tiny bits.
will find an bit of eraser here....some graphite over there....wood chips all over....
Maybe put the pencils where the puppy can't get them?
I don't think he IN 7/36 them though.
Eek. Choking hazard for a pup. Hide the pencils, car!
I do...kids....not so much
I have tomatoes and peppers amongst perennials, and I am trying again to get some mature sunflowers. Last year 5 made it.
Love sunflowers. Those might actually be successful on our property. The neighbors have them.
ty for in car;)
Maybe rub some graphite onto some chew bones. Fake out the puppy.
I don't think graphite is toxic, is it?
BRB...
No it's not Judi, but you were right about it being a choking hazard. Hope the kids learn to put their pencils out of reach.
better than the old lead pencils
Phantom = tungsten
Yes, between that and the lead paint it's a wonder those of us "of a certain age" survived childhood.
lucky we dont all just glow in the dark.
tuns

At 80/74 I must get going. Enjoy the day everyone.
I see Woodhood got the free clue within the phantom
We only glow on the inside, Crossy.
goodmorning everyone, second day here, enjoying the mind work i am getting.
Hiya, Kay. Welcome to the addiction.
Guess what! I'm getting new garage doors for my birthday!
Wheeeeeee!
♪Isn't it romantic♫ ♥
Yeah. No sh*t.
An epic gift for my 50th.
Maybe you'll get a tool belt to go with.
Well, we just sent in the deposit. They probably won't be installed until mid-July. Imagine my anticipation!
I pray, for his sake, that he is smart enough to be getting you something else in the meantime.
*chuckles* I guess I'll find out, Molly.
Morning Darlings
*Sends "don't be a dumb ass" vibes to Mr. Judi*
Hi, Hego!
congrats on your new garage doors Judi.
lol. Gee, thanks.
:)
It is such a delicious, sunny, low-humidity day here. I want to go out and play!
definitely!
i am in canada, its a mear 14 degrees celcious.
Nice change for us, yeah Judi?
"Celcious". I like that. Somebody add that to the Enable dictionary!
It will warm up eventually kayler.
lol I am not always the best at spelling, this game may not be the best for me then.
It may be in there alresdy
Deliciously not Fahrenheit
kay, it may be the very game for you.
welcome to the game - just enjoy it and don't worrty about anything like spelling
Never fear, Kay. You will absorb the smarty pantsness in no time.
There are many crazy words in here.
Hi Teach
hello hego
Kay, I have been playing this game for 5 years and just finished three English course and i still cannot spell, so do not worry about it;0
Hiya Crossy!
howdy, hego:)
Some of us are more absorbent than others.
true lol
Hey!! Somebody spelled "definitely" correctly. How did that happen???
actually, my 7th babbleversary is in 3 days!
How is his crossness today?
ty Erda, ty
living the dream, hego, living the dream;)

Good for you Crossy!
Planetary alignment? Sun spots?
I just think of infinitely and I get it right.
thnx crossy - went to check in my profile and my babbleversary for 7 yeasrs was 3 days ago
well congrats to Teach and Crossy!
I will be 5 in september.
Happy West Virginia Day - today is the 151st birthday of West Virginia
*In the 7 year club with Teach*
*Salutes WV* Whahoo!
there's a holiday you don't often hear of.
Of course, it is an official state holiday here in WV. Do other states celebrate when they became a state?
Not here in Delaware - and we were the first state!
I think the original 13 don't have a date.
I've never heard of NJ celebrating.
yaa for teach and her 7th babbleversary!
you too Crossy.
and yaa for Crossy and that we celebrate during the same week :)
But we all get Independence Day. That's something.
yup!
My mistake. I got carried away. It will be my 6th in three days, not my 7th;)
Well, congrats anyway!
you're just a toung one
just a newbie:)
The original 13 do have dates...from the State Of Delaware web site...Since 1933, the governors of Delaware have proclaimed December 7 as Delaware Day in honor of that day in 1787 when Delaware became the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution, thus making Delaware the first state in the New Nation.
n on the right making me nuts.
I stopped counting.
9 years for you, judi:)
Yes. But it's not a holiday. Bummer.
wow 9!
No we do not celebrate a state's day.
All of the original 13 celebrate their statehood on the day they ratified The Constitution.
never heard of it. Lived here all of my life.
I don't think there's an actual celebration in CT
how are you Bichon?
right column n, anyone?
I thought Deleware prioritzed judi's birthday and made that a holiday
Last year - with the 150th - there were actual "celebrations. Other years it is just mentioned, and state and county offices are closed.
Now that would be a holiday!!
Waiting for the phone call
You would think, ruru!
Will you hear today?
The most memorable holiday in CT is Good Friday. Everything is closed.
Who do we call?
Yes, later this afternoon
That bill died on the floor of the House.
We could make it a Babble holiday.
Best to you Bichon.
We definitely need an International Babble Day
clue for the 8 please?
Here here!
that would be good.
I thought Snooki's birthday was the state wide holiday of Jersey. : D
she's not from here.
20 left, but I have to throw in the towel. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*
Fourth of July is New Jersey's biggest.
Ah, just a Jersey poser.

First se 5/14 clue please?
no power this am!! my sister knew this was going to happen but forgot to tell me!!
bad storms peri?
no PECO cutting down part of a tree in the back that was hanging over the wires.
A letter was sent to the house but I did not know about it
uggh dont you just love when things like that happens? how long were you without power?
I left before they were done. they were supposed to be here about an hour.
I couldn't have coffee or breakfast :(
but all is well now
shame on them for not letting you have a cup of coffee!
se + lighter fluid will i***te your charcoal
if I had know I would have gotten up earlier
did you go out an d get a cup of coffee or wait until power was back on instead?
ty molly
That is when it's time to go out for coffee.
I had something to eat and drink on the way to do my errands
i would agree with molly
I never go out to have coffee
hello everybody. Was just out watering the tomato plant (fruit forming) and picking fruit
i love going out for coffee
This looks like it will be a great fruit year unless we have a hail storm (unlikely)
plants* 9!
senna
i have that one already peri
and the rhyming hair/hand dye?
Ruby's House Of Jam
have that ruby
I have devised a good way to make coffee with a propane heater and a one cup drip coffee maker that I use if we have a power outage.
So far 6 jars of currant jelly, 5 of white peach jam (not from my garden)
and currants are cooking now
se 6/18 clue please?
that is ingenious, Molly
sounds dangerous
and there are 100's of figs but they aren't ripe yet and many Mirabelle plums
No, propane heaters are not dangerous. People use them for camping all the time.
ruby is tha a samoyan?
is the coffee pretty hot or just right?
I don't know wht a smoyan is. Mirabelles are small round and yellow.
ruby the dog in your profile:)
I think mlf meant the dog, ruby
yep:)
ahah. I thought you meant the plums. No, my dogs have all been chow chows and that one was my dearly departed Max.
hi jaxx
hi jaxx
ah a chow such cute dogs
Hi, mlf and Ruby, not gorgetting molly
forgetting even
They are wonderful dogs, very affectionate and great guard dogs.
and smart too from what i have heard
<ax, however, was autistic and, at 8 years, drowned in the fishpond where he'd been drinking daily.
se 6/18 clue please?
se6/18...first three of an elected representative + last three of a pasta that starts with z
I'm not sure about how intelligent they are, but they're very intuitive and are well-behaved by choice, not training.
And they are so beautifu that strangers come to the gate sometimes to photograph them
ty molly would never have come up with that one .. its a new one i am sure
We have a Breeder of Chows very near us at Bay Tor Kennels. Not that common. I am sorry to hear about Max's demise, ruby
very phtogenic and they dont mind lol
I will look them up in my chow book, jaxx. Ours are all from Mi-Pao stock
He had a good life, considering his odd disability and when he died, my Ruffino came into my life.
I have heard of Autistic people but never a dog before.
and when my most beloved Ruby died, at more than 10 years, Rafaella came to us from Spain
I had just read a book by Temple Grandin when he arrived here from Canada, and he exhibited many of the same signs of autism that people evince. I put him on Prozac and he was much better than at first
The vet took notes!
I have never heard of Temple Grandin either. Do describe
She is a brilliant autistic woman who has devised humane means of leading cows to slaughter (!!). I learned a lot from her books
Would love a clue for any of the et s except for the 4/5
perhaps they could do with her insight here in Britain with all the controversy over Halal meat
The movie about Temple Grandin won an Oscar I think
We buy halal lamb here as it's much better than French lamb
I shall look her up and
I think Sigourney Weaver played her
See if I can get hold of her books. Duh
Claire Danes won an Emmy for portraying Temple Grandin
There you go
All she did was calm them as they went up the ramps' unfortunately, slaughter is slaughter.....
ty, Molly, I stand corrected
And a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award.
Thank you all, I will follow it up. The fuss in this country is over the non-labelling of Halal meat which does not include pre stunning. Rather cruel
I think the protesters tend to be acting out their prejudices. If they really cared, they wouldn't eat meat
hello everyone :)
Labelling here is a scandal. I am very reluctant to buy pre-packaged ood
Possibly, but there are obviously 'kinder' of ways of bringing animals to slaughter
also food
Isn't Kosher meat killed the same way?
I think so, sukee. After all, both practices come from the same region
It is a matter of hygiene as well as a religious practice
I agree, Jaxx, but I think industrial animal farming is the worst. The killing bothers me less than the way the animals are raised
Yay, found all the et words myself :)
Maybe it has to do with how hot it is in the Middle East. And as for shellfish, oy veh!
I feel very sorry for all those farm animals that never see the fields.
We have come a long way from Max, Ruby
There's a book by Jonathan Safran Foer about the industrial animal farms which is enough to make anyone vegetarian. He says he would never eat anything that has parents! I can't remember th name of his book....Molly?
I haven't got one e word yet.
That's the beauty of the chog!
I have 2 eg's for the opposite of in's
and 2 et's for gases
se6/24...clue, please
I think eg means throw up
I have made a note of those two, Ruby, and I will investigate
se 6/24 this is believing.
I just looked for the book, bbut couldn't find it. It might be called Eating Animals but \\\\\\\\\\I don't know how to open another window
ty, sukee I didn't se* th**
ty sukee....it just kept evading me!
Have you got the two in opposites, Ruby?
you mean the opposites of the eg's? yesd
well done! :)
I'm making very little progress, 89 words and no nbt
I have 86 words and am the same
the only word I can think of that starts with gu is guiness, and of course, that is not there!
kind of pig, nan, or worm or African country
ty ruby
and an English coin, mainly still used for horseracing
I just googled it, yes, it's Eating Animals
good night everybody.
Thanks, Ruby. I will have to go now. My grandson has severe tonsillitis and a septic thumb. He is very unwell and needs some TLC. bbl all
hello again

hey all, how is this grid? I have about five minutes to play right now... and how are you? Happy SUMMER!!!! (northern hemisphere folks...)
hi stid
hi stid -- in your house yet?
154 words total its been a struggle for me . not as easy as i thought it would be
but probably better for others
too many fo the same letters and vowels
it's a tough grid, mlf -- listed at just over half way
it is twisty, with letters in odd places.
cyber i was amazed when i got to half way lol
are you in your house yet, stid?
Yes, nan -- I will post some pics of the "unpacking" stage we are in... moved the last week of May, finished up teaching a week ago (and promptly got "the virus" the kids had at school). Now starting to really get things organized, but it takes so long. How are you?
i have 3 t's (different columns) to finish and 8 g words to find and 4 n words
good -- waiting for partial knee replacements, so not doing any travelling this year -- not doing much of anything! Glad to hear the house is finally finished -- can't believe it took such a long time! Or were you and Tom doing some of the work yourselves?
stid how long did your house take to build?
We did some of the tiling and such (pics of the master shower are at my website, I'll post a link for you), and painted the master bath, but mostly it was waiting for the contractor to pull people from other jobs to finish ours. It took about 9 months of actual time after they broke ground, about 6 months of work and three of waiting for things to happen in between.
wow. my mom is having her house built. took a while with different contractors involved and a tree situation
etc
i think hers will be done it oct or nov of this year
how long for the insurance company to get it's act together before you could start?
try this... http://tinyurl.com/q55lwts
ne 5/12 clue please?
love the shower, stid -- good job!
They were ready to go pretty quick, but because we had to figure out how to pay off the horrible mortgage company that had bought our original mortgage and then arrange all-new financing for construction, that took US about two extra months. And the contractor delayed at the early part too, which cost us another couple of months. We got a GREAT interest rate, but only just got under the wire with the original quote. Meanwhile, the insurance company decided that because we were putting in a stick-built house instead of another manufactured home they would only pay for four months of additional expenses. It was an eye-opener for us. We should, perhaps, have asked a lot more questions early on.
:-D It is very pretty. But there was an issue with the caulk so I had to remove it and waiting for the new caulk to dry. By the end of the weekend it should be useable again. Plus side: I get better and better at grouting and caulking the more I practice!
stid did you get caulk happy?
Building always comes with a uniques set of problems (we have build 4 new houses over the 50 years of our marriage so I know how relieved you are to have it over and done with!
cyber why did you have every house you lived in built?
just remember -- no regrets and "we should have's" allowed!
yep. Relieved and now figuring out how to fix the things the contractor and subs didn't do properly... fortunately I come from a long line of carpenters, farmers and handmen, so I can fix almost anything!
lol am sure that never happens
ne 5/12 clue please?
Thanks, nan -- there are only two things I would change, one of which I can fix when the exterior doors need replacing in about 25 years, and one that I can live with (the hallway is slightly narrower than I would have liked) because it would mean re-engineering a bit.
my mom had a house built with a room over the garage for income purposes..makes me nervous
I don't have NE 5/12, I have NE 5/16?
we didn't mlf -- there were three apartments and one older home mixed in there. We were transferred a few times with hubby's work and were lucky enough to be able to build or buy a house that was still under construction.
there is a ne 5/12 too -- not over
cyber that is the first ne 5 i need the 2nd:) i have the other two
:)
ah, thanks for that, nan!
cyber that is so awesome!
ne 5/12, 5/16, 5/10 -- those are the ne 5's
wow. It's 11 and Grant isn't up yet. Time to shake his bed... Have a lovely afternoon, ladies, hope to see you again soon! *poof*

Its almost 3pm here, going to watch the news (bad as it is)
ruin your weekend
In an article I read about maintaining a positive outlook, it was suggested that you only watch the news once a week. I think we have been conditioned to watch the news daily, if not twice daily.
great suggestion
i got the g words phew
Especially as they only report the bad stuf that happens.
One a week is enough.

Jes, I love "half grown monstrosity" : D
it's an apt descriptor. he's vicious!
Can we break it down i am so lost and confused i have no idea
actually, 'he' is an assumption - I didn't exactly reach under to verify gender...
like what a ballerina wears, but double vowel ending instead.
mlf....one who receives private instruction....like after school....

The ballet students were tu6 wearing tu5

Hi, Jilly
My brain has gone blank with 45 left. Aagh.......
been at it for 30+ minutes...have 67 left and definitely going babble blind!
phantom: Tungsten
gee thanks, phantoms are like ear worms!
Wow just hit a whole pocket of th words!!
Phantom engine (for Jilly's other ear)
lol, chrissie
LOL...already tried and purged th4/5 one!
Okay, nbt/nbs and all 6/7/8 found...bbl for remaining 38 4/5 words...but will hang for a moment if clues for 6/7 or 8's needed
I shall carry on for a while thanks
Still need 88, byt thanks for the offer Jily
LOL...well then...I'm off... *poof*
So Frogface is your sister?
does that mean that Worzel is her boyfriend?
Yes ruru, to both
oh cool thanks for straightening that out... I was curious too
That's good. I've had many a laugh with you and would hate you to think there was some subterfuge going on.
no.. I'm just cautious with all new players.. I don't just accept new players from England easily.. since we've all been burned by a few English players.
this is really good to know though.. thank you chrissie
Fair comment. And worzel is an unusual character
uh yeah
:)
Least said....
Can I get stats or clue for the top n in the right column please?
nm
Positive thoughts and prayers to Bich. And hello everybody :-)
clue for te 6/21 first one and ti 6/24 for Fireworks
First ti6 is mens neckwear, gerund form
Golly Matches.. I've only come in. But I will look...
And that is not what you asked for.
Molls to the rescue!
tE6...number plus pay your d***
Oh, you did ask for that ti6...sorry...it's been a tough day for me...
ty Molly got them both great clues
thanks for chasing my sis off, and if you look at my profile you can see i've been on longer than she has, if you hae a problem, bring it up with me
and i will not be commenting on my relationship or it's break up there has been enough of that from everyone else
you are all fucking charming
... and so it begins again....
nothing begins, it's probably the end of me playing on here, after many happy years
Problems?
yeah, gossip is a very nasty thing jaxx
upsets people more than the actual gossips realise
So does bad language, frogface.
i've been very upset by the way they treated my ex jaxx, i've been on here for years and not seen this kind of hatred, not liking it much
it's a site full of bulllies, and i don't care who i upset
they get together in groups and ostracise peoplle, i'm one person talking alone, and i am upst
upset
I can see that
what's the point, they don't want a conversation, they want to gossip, but they have all snuck off, waiting for me to go to start again,
Mr Gummidge and I both come from the UK. We have had some very interesting conversations. He clearly feels strongly for his girlfriend.
i don't understand jaxx, you know we have split up
they seem to think it's because he is bisexual
another way to pick on him
sooooooooooo quiet in here
I am muddled. Please explain the relationships between yourself, Worzel and your sister
me and worzel have spilit up jaxx, you know how much we felt for each other and it is a hard split, but i've heard some nasty comments on here about it being because worz is bi, and my sis has just left because something was obviously said that upset her and i won't have my family being brought into roomies paranoia
me and my sis have been on for at least years now
When did you split?
but i'm so disappointed by it lately
about a week ago jaxx
Then you are Diane?
but tbh jaxx, i'm not washing my dirty laundry in here, and yes i am diane, i can bee found on fb if you need proof
diane pooley
thank you for talking to me jaxx, more than most could manage
i am not asking you to wash that dirty laundry, frogface, and I believe you. I have been on Babble officially for only a short while but unofficially for about the same time as you.
it just irks me jaxx that most want to gossip about my relationship breakup
and they are trying to belittle worz in the eyes of his friends, it is their choice
i'm not being aggressive, i'm not being bawdy, i just want to put my point across, but nobody who actually makes comments is actually willing to comment now that i'm here
I don't think they are being malicious, just interested. It is a small community of people with an interest in Word games. The chat log gets folk involved but there is no nuances to the chat. I suggest you play the game quietly in the background.
yeah i'll just shut up and let everyone comment on my relationship, good idea jaxx. thanks for the advice
i spoke up now to answer any resonable question about worz, but mostly about me, but since nobody is willing to crawl out of the woodwork i'll just sit quiet
I didn't mean it that way, frogface. perhaps they should ask Worzel straight out and stop making inferences into private business.
ask worzel what, what would you all like to know
They feel a connection with him and hence with you. I don't need to know anything more than that you are no longer together. It is none of my business and I am sorry that you are upset.
Di, leave it love. No one chased me away, I just logged off ehile getting ready for bed.
the ones i'm talking about don't feel connected with him, the ones who are properly connected with him can get in touch with me and ask me anything privately
sorry sis, just needed to do this
I put what I wanted to say in my profile.
please
please
Please what xena?
i just saw it sis, i love you, but this is just bullying
I have been away at my sister's for the past few days and my PC was down before that so this is all news to me. Chrissie, I am sorry for all the uproar. I came in at the end. I wish I could do more but it is none of my business. It was just that everyone 'sounded' cross
Di, don't shout at jaxx, she's not done anything wrong.
please stop the drama
she just told me to play quietly
sorry
I told you that so you could take a long deep breath and relax.
word for word you told me to play in the background jaxx
good evening all. baCK FOR THE LAST FEW WORDS:)
Exactly!
oops sorry caps
well, more than a few. I am at half;)
Remove yourself from the scrum and it will all die a natural death.
Good heavens, crossy what a lot of noise.
rule round here is never, ever feed the troll. Believe me, I have been sucked into it a few time before I learned... lol, sorry jax
trolllllllllll
I will use my inside voice now:)
Not a troll crossy
do trolls stay around for 7 years
i've been here for 7 years
do not mean this issue but another in my babble past ladies
I thought they were immortal
easy, not talking bout you
Emotions are running high, crossy. I was trying to help but seem to have not helped one bit
tbh, I have no idea of the issue in the chog tonight
seems i was taken out of context as well, jaxx
i'm just shocked that the ones who started the trouble are suspiciously silent, one reasonable word and i'd leav eit
Jaxx, do you really have pink hair?
let's leave it for now and give us all a chance to calm down and finish the grid. The rerason i am here really
jaxx doe have pink hair i believe
Yes please sis
but then they are bullies and bullies are weak, so i'll go for the night, sorry sis, i love you xx
Hello everyone...Happy Friday!
Love you too, see you tomorrow - not too early though. Have some messages to get first xx
I do, chrissie. Bright fuschia pink, it appeals to Crossy's sense of devilment. I refuse to grow old gracefully
Fabulous jaxx!
Hi, Seaspray
personally I have no issues with anyone who plays babble; sure molly and I sharpen ourselves on each other once in a while, but I think we have both grown with it and rather enjoy it now:) plus crossy is mellowing in his old fartdom;)
Happy Friday!
keep pink jaxx!
can i leave with one last comment, i look like the irrational one now but i've been upset for a week now about snidey comments, added to my break up......thanks for your support all xx
Hi, Xena.
howdy seaspray
Hi Jaxx.
You don't look irrational to me. Perfectly normal reaction at a time of stress
Hey Crossy. Old Fartdom rocks!! What also rocks is an offspring
I have 41 left after struggling all day. Feeling a little shellshocked now too.
howdy soodles!!!
Hi soodles
How's your daughter going with the big car?
Just celebrated old fartdom. four days at the beach with my daughter (who planned the surprise) and four other women... What a fun time
very nice:)))
I have just been to my sister's for her birthday weekend. I wish that was fun
Beautiful photo SeaSpray
soodles, if we do get together, I think it would be better if I travelled to you from Devon
Thank you Chrissie...since then we have a 3rd...will need to update
My first is on the way, so excited!
Fantastic, chrissie!
congratulations...it is exciting!
Whoa! My techno-genius daughter (not the one with the big car - the other daughter ) has just tracked the IP addresses of Babblers. Interesting indeed.
My mother described it as you never having to be alone again and that is so true
chrissie. Just read your profile. i also started up babble due to cancer. The chemo reacked the heck out of my short term memories and I started off using babble to exercise my mind.
Why is it interesting Soodle?
I think from now on, I will block the chat & just search for words solo.
Crossy, you were a godsend to me at that time. Thank you
she tracked the i.p addys?? very cool. See if she can figure out where i am within a 100 mile radius. will be a good challange for her:))
Mine are now 5, 2 and 7 months. Just finished swimming lessons with all of them,
Are you feeling shell shocked too, soodles
I know the darn ad people know exactly where i am anyways lol
Any small help I did at the time was a please and a honor, chrissie
pleasure
My son and dil are due in September the only problem is he has a new job just starting in China for 3 years :(
they are all going to china??
I know I'm not the only one you've helped crossy. You should be bottled and sold :)
Oh no....my friend is unhappy as her only Grandchild lives in Boston, she in Maryland, and her son is now considering moving to Chicago.
:) lol.better put a warning label on that bottle!! lol
Yes, after the baby's born. They're over there this week sorting out somewhere to live.
I agree, chrissie. he has sorted my conundrums out for me too
awww, shucks mam, twernt nuttin:))
lol @ Crossy
It's important to have your conundrums in order, lol
It was a lot for me, crossy
then you owe me a pretty postcard of a nice scenic view near you. something i can pin up by my desk:))
Teignmouth is pretty scenic. How do I get the PC to you?
Soodle, have you really blocked the chat?
just email me and i will give you the info.
Chrissie, where are you in the UK?
would be nice to have a collection of postcards from babble friends. I will send one off to you as well
E-mail on your profile?
yup
Up Holland, Lancashire. Born in Liverpool
crossy was born in watford, Just outside of London:)
I was born in Manchester but moved here to Devon in 1955.
Really crossy. Thought you were Canadian through and through
nope we came here in 1966 via BOAC airlines:)
A babe in arms crossy?
I was but a wee sprout of 2
Lovely move jaxx
I've moved about 15 miles from where I was born
It was but it is so quiet here, it can be boring. I had all these plans before I married and met my husband, a Devonian through and through, and stayed. I do still yearn for wider shores, I must confess
Crossy love the rural/country life. Better that urban concrete jungles with too many people:)
Good job you didn't stay here with all the immigrants changing the British nation forever
I have the best of both worlds where i am now> We are in tourist country, so we have all the ammenities but the hoards of people are transitory in nature and if you have patience, they go home
Controversial but true jaxx
Canada is one big melting pot as to people who move here. we have people from all corners of the globe. It is not so bad. we learn new things from others
as they learn from us
That could be said for Teignmouth too. There used to be about 10000 folk living here which swelled in the summer and then the 'grockles' went home. Not now though. We are 12.500 and counting. No green spaces as it has all been covered in concrete and 'God's waiting rooms'. That is my next stop.
lol@ grockles, we call them "citiots"
The Cornish called them emmetts (ants)
we have one town near here, jaxx, called Wasaga Beach. it has the world's longest freshwater beach and although it has about 11,000 year-long resident; in 1992 they had to close the roads coming in because they had 200,000 tourists show up for the July long weekend
I was living there in 1989 and the population was 1100
That's some traffic jam!
Wow. Our biggest export is 'Muse'
it was utter chaos. We had to call the army in for crowd control and to help keep things moving
Has it happened again since?
now Wasaga is turing into a retirement community of sort as those who partied here 30 years ago now want to retire here
have never happened to that extent sinse
since
Teignmouth has gone from tourism to care homes. Sign of the times, I guess.
yup, we all get a bit older and use our party towns to take our ease as we get older
biab
You'll have to move back to Manchester
I still have an aunt and cousins there so I could, I guess. I would have to go on my own as my husband is set in concrete where Devon is concerned
The only problem is, we're not the younger generation now ;)
I havent seen frogface or worzel mentioned in the chat. Was she talking about facebook?
If we were we would be out partying at this time instead of babbling, lol
My grandfather and his wife moved to Manchester from Liverpool in the 1850s. His grandparents came from Co Cavan in Ireland and set up as grocers in Liverpool.
Ruru, leave it. there has been enough upset
Ok
I can't believe I have a 70 yr old husband and a 65yr old sister. I am so not the younger generation now
So your roots are over with Soodle
And you only 35 jaxx, just as I am
she has a name and night sis, see you tomorrow, xx
Co Cavan is on the border between South and North. I have Orangemen ancestors and soodles has only just got over that fact as she is 'the other lot'
Oh, sorry, geography not my strong point
Say goodnight to your sister for me. I am sorry she is so upset.
Thanks jaxx, I know there are a lot here who wish her well
It wasn't mine either until I started tracing my family tree. My knowledge of History was poor too as I was a lab technician all my working life. Preferred Science to Arts
And it's time for me to leave too. Take care all
I am saying no more, chrissie. I am sure that the others were just curious
Take care, Chrissie. Goodnight
I, too, am going to bed now. My grandson needs another antibiotic tablet. Bye
hi all, help with the 8 pls
The tiniest of all, Peri... (Starts with adolescents)
ty Soodle
Yqw, Peri toes.
:) My toes are Sail La Vie which is a royal blue
Peri, your toes are a constant source of entertainment to me. Lol
I am glad to hear that :)
If I had an iphone I would post pictures but it is too much trouble with my current camera
I have yet to post pictures from lunch the other day with a friend I had not seen in many years
If we ever ACTUALLY met, i would find it difficult to establish eye contact with you. My eyes would be constantly drawn toe-wards!
I must be really dumb since I cannot see the he4/6
NM
Peri, Lil Monkey and Lil Bit have the best manicured toenails in the realm of Babble.

*cough cough hack hack*
*hands out face masks*
hi jmc, are you sick?
chest cold. . . really annoying
I guess you are, hope you feel better soon
true, very annoying
so i came home to get some rest so i could work really hard next week and earn some bucks to receive an email from work saying my job may be over on Monday and I won't know until Monday.
I thought you might have hairball :)
Oh, dear, that does not sound good
haha no hairballs so far. . .
glad to hear that
one of my co-workers said just before i went on vacation that the only thing worse than working our job is not working our job! haha
so would the office be closing?
no just our project. . . so the possibility is to get onto another project. . .but i really only wanted to work a few more months to sock away some savings and then focus on the lobbying again. . .
never know how long new projects will last. . .
I hope things work out to your benefit
me too. . . i think i am going back to bed. . . bbl maybe. . . . 142 left. . . *poof*
bye
help with tu7 pls
tu7 sounds like little baby rabbits

Anyone have a clue for an 6/18?
an** sounds like the end of a prayer only with a different first consonant + the last 2 letters of the ending that denotes the most of something
I am so sorry that is such a bad clue. I will keep trying.
I'll try anything :)
an + switch the letters in what a bird lives in!
I got it from the first clue t :)
ty
good for you . I was ashamed of myself for that one so I am glad it worked
It wasn't that bad :)
it is not even in the dictionary... sigh
It worked for me too Bugsaw
thanks
thanks freckled. I only like to try when none of the good cluers respond. I hate it when I am desperate for a hint and noone cares.
I appreciated it :)
Maybe you should be braver and do it at any time!
Why do I watch baseball, it's depressing
See, we canucks are nice, we always help :)
or at least try!
2 to go, just need the last 2 te 6/21 s
Wish I could help.
teneses
sorry just trying
1 to go
would you clue the one you got please?
te 6/21 Number + t*** fruity
AW thaks!
Thanks
Glad you got it.
I have a feeling the one above is similar but I can't figure it out
got it!
Good for you!!
t + Streets are also called Av*****
Thanks again! I'm far from done but those two helped.
Do you need a clue
If not I'm going to pay attention to the Jays losing
I need lots of them but my aim is always to get half the words and I'm past that now so i'm happy.
okay :)
Good luck
** finbito ** last word ET 7/32
I care bugs.. what do you need?
apparently Bugs doesn't care :d
We care, we care. We care that Pen is done. We care that Bugs needs a clue. We are like the Whos down in Whoville. We care ♥
*orders T Shirts*
"No one cares" makes me sniffle.
*breaks out Kleenex for ms molly*
it's been an emotional day I guess
Phantom.. tungsten
I tried that one too cad
easiest k ever!
Hi LeslieAnn. Easiest k, eh? Drowsy from smoking hemp (ke4/11), having also drunk from the barrels (ke4/10), the lassie understands (ke4/8) the words. :)
Or as those clues a bit obscure to anyone who doesn't have the words? :(
monkeyed a few fours and i was done! none of this "kn... um... u? do any words start with knu? oh bugger"
LOL. No all 3 are 'ke'. I thought you had them all?
yes, i'm saying that's what i'm usually doing with a k.
Ah! I see. :)
I'm here to clue for a while, if anyone needs any.
Hi there Jacula!
Hi Jilly. How are you?
Good, just walked to our local brewery, met friends and walked home. Nice evening here. How are you?
Suffering a bit from hay fever at the moment, Jilly, as is my son. Just as well I didn't get it until my mid-40s as I used to have to help with the hay-making etc. The weather's been good here and it's gardening season, atchoo!
Hi in our little corner of the great Northwest the skies are mostly blue and the temperature is very pleasant also jilly. Just had dinner and will watch tv for awhile. Glad to hear you were out and about.
Hi stidgmere. Glad to hear all is well with you.
Hello stidg! Heard you and stiddy had a good time shopping the other day!
Going to spend tomorrow in my garden!
We do love IKEA. So nice to see you here jacula!
My tomorrow (today, actually, since it's 3.14am here in UK) will probably be mostly spent doing grocery shopping, cooking and perhaps a bit of gardening.
The time difference always amazes me!
First day of summer! Summer is a cumin in loud sing the cucu.
I finally have Guam time down though...
Stidgmere - Would you believe I've never been to IKEA? I do have a set of their dining chairs (which I'm making my own covers for), but my daughter gave them to me.
The thing about the first day of summer though is that it heralds the shortening of the daylight hours again. I love it when it's light until after 10pm.
I kept thinking in France we should visit the IKEA store but my husband won't go in them anywhere. Our local store is near Seattle.
LOL...you guys will appreciate this, the local ice cream truck started up today. Drove by our house playing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas". Surreal
I so agree with us jacula. In winter we have it as dark at 4 o'clock as at midnight.
Jilly - that IS surreal! :)
I know stidg, I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark..
for the Ku Klux Klan Jilli ... it always is a white christmas
White Christmas? Hmm. Vanilla I think.
And after the winter we had here Jacula...not much appreciated either!!
Hello dear ruru
I remember those days - go out in the dark, come home in the dark. The only thing that brightened it was knowing our dog was waiting to greet me like I was the loveliest person in the world.
We will have to wait until about ten o'clock on July 4th when fireworks go off because any before that can't be seen inthe white skies.
Dogs have the best idea of who is important in the world.
Jilly - I can imagine! Was it the ice-cream seller's attempt at being 'amusing'?
Same here. Already heard firecrackers going off tonight...wish they would outlaw them here!
Friends around here were posting other Christmas songs that they had heard it play...
Who is the vendor? Someone from an area that thinks snow is exotic?
Urgh, Jilly. Your ice-cream seller reminds me of one of my friends who loves putting XXX days to Christmas countdown reminders on her Facebook page. She's a real-life friend but my threats to throttle her are just met with a smile. LOL
Does anyone need any clues, by the way?
That would drive me bonkers as well Jacula! It's bad enough to have the advertising start in Sept!
yes. .Jac
.. who killed Coronel Mustard in the library?
I only have 4 and 5 letter words left...but thanks Jacula
Ask away then ruru - unless you want to know the meaning of life (47).
ruru - It was Miss Scarlett with the lead piping.
the meaning of life would be good too.. since I don't seem to have gotten a handle on that either
Actually it's 42 not 47. LOL
Who has, ruru? Who has?
Anyway, my clueing time is nearly up... speak now if you want one.
beats me.. i'm a babe lost in the woods right now
Well just want to say that having you around tonight has been delightful! Go have a good sleep!
No tracking device on you, ruru? Pity! I could have put white pebbles down to show you the way out.
Jilly - thank you! I will shortly (with the aid of ear plugs 'cos my OH will probably be snoring).
*chuckling*
(about comment to ruru, NOT your sleeping!)
I guessed that, Jilly. x
Whew! Sometimes chog gets me in trouble!
<----!!FW!!
I was going to write a blog post before I went to bed but I think I'll leave it until Sunday to do now. The essence of it is that I discovered that nipping over to my local store for half a cucumber an hour before the kick-off the the England vs Uruguay match wasn't the wisest of ideas. The store was full of men buying last-minute supplies of beer and crisps... and all I could find was one absolutely massive cucumber. It was really round and fat, and nearly 2 foot long. I wanted it cut in half and I wanted the fat end (because the thin end, the stalk end, always goes off quicker). I was served by a man and had about 7 men behind me in the queue, every one of which was dying to say something... and bursting to laugh... but it's not 'PC' to do that these days. I was quite amused to witness their heroic struggling and very glad that no one's brains burst through their ears from suppressing it all.
Buying phallic vegetables can be a nightmare. LOL
Jilly - Didn't understand your last post with the arrow, unless you're telling me you have Old Timer's Disease.
F ire W orks...LOL
Well done, Jilly! I get it now. LOL
wow, looks like no one's been here for a while!
fireworks!
Yay sue!
