2:15 am

good :)

2:16 am

Will catch you soon - but happy for quick catch up. Hugs to you - and rose and pugs if you see them.

2:16 am

a big *hug* and lots of love

2:17 am

and will do

2:19 am

FWs

2:19 am

gz

2:47 am

cooee and g'day from me

2:49 am

hello my darling rose, how are you today?

2:50 am

Liz sends a hug to you

2:50 am

doing okay. worked this morning, no ill effects except for an aching muscle. and you, sweetie? have you had a good night?

2:51 am

* reaches out and grabs hold of liz's hug* nice...;-)

2:51 am

not too bad, thanks. I am fine. I saw your email, will get back to you after babble, ok? Doesn't have to be booh lee.

2:52 am

oh, good....it's quite frustrating.

2:52 am

i will sit here quietly and let you play. it's a fun grid.

2:53 am

computers and cars, lol... either you don't notice how well they work or you go bananas because they don't.

2:53 am

not too quietly, I hope

2:56 am

that is progress, isn't it, being able to work without much afterpain and cramps etc.

2:58 am

yes, hun. it is....

2:58 am

am very happy for you. And for us, lol

3:00 am

i so feel my immediate superior, a nurse i have worked with for over 20 years.yesterday they had 8 patients in the recovery, and five of them were ICU patients, which ICU could not take as they had been on stand-by to take a cardiac case.

3:02 am

the overall in charge wanted another patient to come into recovery, my friend said, only if the anaesthetic nurse stays and looks after them. 10 minutes later the in-charge was demanding the nurse to return to theatre, and my friend said no.

3:02 am

omg! That is impossible.

3:03 am

in-charge kept on demanding, my friend, never known to be cool headed at the best of times, lost it, and shouted NO!!.

3:04 am

oh de4

3:04 am

one ego bruised?

3:05 am

i hope she pointed out to our manager, that the ANUM for recovery, AND the in-charge were both available to work in recovery, and why didn't they do so?

3:05 am

*giggle* if you mean the in-charge....i hope so.

3:05 am

very true, rose.

3:06 am

lol yes, him (or her) and yes, I hope so too. What an ass.

3:07 am

and now the powers that must be have taken away our desk area, and are converting it to offices for the manager and ANUM, so that they can have more storage space.

3:07 am

that is crazy

3:09 am

it's absolutely nuts

3:11 am

and nothing you can do about it? Your colleagues accepting it and all?

3:12 am

nothing, it has been handed to us as a fait accompli. they had the builders in over the weekend and started the conversion without telling us.

3:13 am

sounds like you guys need to go sit in there and pretend it is still your space

3:14 am

lolol...yeah right....and we tell the patients what ?? just hold your breath a tick de4ie, we will be back in about....oh, let us see....6 weeks?? can you imagine it?

3:15 am

lol, no, not really. Such assholes. Pardon my french.

3:16 am

no, the way i see it, we are over a barrel. * sigh *

3:16 am

but you need a desk ar4. How are you managing?

3:18 am

they haven't closed off the ar4 entirely yet. they are planning to build us a new desk ar4 in the actual recovery room, where all the patients are. it's so nuts....it means we get no time-out at all, the patients can see where the drugs are kept...it's so dangerous.

3:19 am

so frustrating!

3:20 am

have you he5 from pugs? i didn't see her yesterday...or did i? no, i am pretty sure i didn't.

3:21 am

I didn't, and nothing after that email. I think she is in bed feeling absolutely rotten.

3:22 am

poor love....

3:22 am

those dem AC will do it to you every time.

3:27 am

rose, just went and checked the flickr pictures of my babble friends and everybody lost them.

3:28 am

btw, sprite, your osso bucco is in the freezer....

3:28 am

lololllll rose, priceless :)

3:29 am

interesting.....sprite....so where do i go now. dr god didn't seem to be able to help me.

3:30 am

maybe i should email him and let him know?

3:30 am

I think we just wait a little. Something probably has changed at the flickr side of things and they will fix it once they get complaints. I hope.

3:31 am

yeah, please do, rose. He can check if something has changed, disabling the link with babble

3:31 am

well i tried to find ' a contact us ' link. couldn't see anything.

3:32 am

for drG? Bottom of this page, the button with Send them.

3:34 am

and for flickr: http://tinyurl.com/lvmgku6

3:35 am

done with dr god. will check out flickr.

3:35 am

there should be more complaints, if people have noticed the broken link

3:36 am

some odd words today, btw

3:37 am

oh, de4....i am laughing so ha4....it's all in dutch....and that is not being tongue in check....it is in dutch....does nl stand for netherland/nederland do you think?

3:37 am

whahaha ok, let me look again, sorry about that

3:41 am

roflol, np's, i used the link anyway. they can get an interpreter in....give them something different to do...

3:42 am

all dutch people know english, and techies even better

3:43 am

unfortunately....i just received a failed email notification...* sigh *

3:44 am

Hello all :-)

3:44 am

lol.... they suck. They totally suck there. I think we should just wait a little. Things might be fixed in a week or so.

3:44 am

zooz! *hugs* Long time no see. How have you been?

3:44 am

good morning everybody Lovely grid today.

3:44 am

g'day zooz. what are you doing he4 at this time? is everything okay?

3:44 am

I am well thank you..have been enjoying the hot sunny weather!

3:45 am

morning ruby *hugs* Yes it is a goodie.

3:45 am

{{hugs}} and lots of kisses, ruby

3:45 am

good for you, zooz! Good to be outdoors, isn't it.

3:45 am

I was lurking because I didn't know how much time I have so I found 122 quickly

3:46 am

Husband is in a foul mood. How unusual!

3:46 am

well throw a chocken at him, ruby...preferably a frozen one...lol

3:46 am

Sprite I had an email a while ago saying that you will soon not be able to log into flickr using google and alike you will have to have to sign in using a yahoo email account..will see if I can find the email to make sure.

3:47 am

Is a chocken like a turducken? LOL

3:47 am

After June 30, Flickr will remove the option to sign in with a Facebook or Google account. Instead, you will be able to sign in using a Yahoo account. To create your Yahoo account click “Get Started” below.

3:47 am

ah ok, that might be it then, zooz.

3:48 am

I just copied that from the email..lol

3:48 am

hm but I think I am already using a yahoo email account for flickr

3:48 am

roflolol, ruby....go with the chicken....it's probably cheaper.

3:49 am

I have too, Sprite, But maybe I was using google+ to sign in too..although I am nnot sure as I have not ben there for a long while.

3:49 am

ditto, sprite...i am using a yahoo account for flickr.

3:50 am

looks like everybody lost their flickr pics in their profiles, zooz, so I think it must be flickr who is to blame. I'll check out that account thing

3:50 am

but that should not make a difference to the link FROM babble to flickr...should it?

3:50 am

Sorry to hear that, Ruby, maybe take the dogs out for a long walk..when you come back he might be in a better mood.

3:51 am

Oh right..I will see if I can log in and see if I can see my photos.

3:51 am

zooz, i logged into flickr....can see all my photos. i just cannot move them to babble.

3:51 am

last word... Tr8... can I please beg for a clue?

3:52 am

yeah the link between babble and flickr seems to be broken, rose.

3:52 am

We already did that, zzoozz, he was angry at me before that

3:53 am

oh de4, tr8, prefix for 3 + **a*, what is on your neck + egyptian sun god

3:53 am

great clue, rosie! ty

3:53 am

np's ruby

3:55 am

Sorry was seeing if I could see my photos.

3:55 am

owwwwkay that is a new word for me

3:55 am

thanks rose, that is fireflies :)

3:56 am

Congrats, Sprite!

3:56 am

and a woof for te*** who is in the grid

3:57 am

WTG SPRITE!!!!

3:57 am

will pass it on, ruby, grin. wh5 is in the grid too.

3:58 am

stats or even a clue, pls, for the bottom o

3:58 am

I'll drop drG a line too, rose. We'll see.

4:01 am

ruby, oo5/14, past tense exclamation

4:02 am

ok, must be off, alas. *hugs* to my friends, and to all a blessed day and a peaceful night.

4:02 am

duh me. ty rose

4:03 am

{{hugs}} and lots of kisses, darling sprite. hope you have a lovely day, sweetie.

4:06 am

passed half, so will go and check on r. personality

4:06 am

x everybody

4:06 am

ruby...xoxox de7.

4:07 am

going to do a couple of jigsaws. will be back in about 10-15 mins.

4:07 am

Bye for now, Ruby.

4:08 am

Oh just noticed, Sprite has gone too. Take care, Sprite.Not that you will see me post this..lol

4:09 am

Toodle pips, Rose, I do that too. I nip out of babble and do a few jigsaws lol

4:16 am

and i am back...

4:19 am

Hope you found some nice ones to complete :-)

4:21 am

zooz, will flick over to jigidi later...i work just jigsaw and daily jigsaw first.

4:22 am

Oh I see..daily jigsaw is that just www.dailyjigsaw.com?

4:22 am

how are you, mate? how is your mum and the rest of your family?

4:23 am

yeah, mate. those two have a new jigsaw every 24 hours. jigidi, as you know, has lots of puzzles to solve everyday.

4:24 am

We are all doing fine thanks, Rose, normal daily life seems to resumed..Still keeping my eye on my mother though just in case.

4:24 am

Will give that a look later then, Rose.

4:24 am

* nods he4 * good idea, mate.

4:26 am

lol, was talking about keeping an eye on mum...but th4 again...also a good idea to watch " just jigsaw " and " daily jigsaw "

4:26 am

Howa re you keeping, Rose?

4:26 am

LOL I knew what you meant teehee!

4:27 am

zooz, today i worked 2 hours...no bone pain...just a muscular ache, quickly resolved with a cold pack.

4:28 am

new med for BP appears to have settled a bit. at least i am not walking around the house in my sleep.

4:28 am

Oh that is good.Lets hope that continues to on the same path to full health.

4:29 am

So you are getting a good nights sleep too!

4:31 am

zooz, for the first time in 5 years....i am actually cold at night. i am seriously considering getting out my " warm " pj's. i am sleeping through 5-6 hours at a stretch. and falling asleep after a vivit to the bathroom and taking my pain meds.

4:31 am

I keep trying 'Errands'

4:32 am

* visit *

4:33 am

Wow that is better than sweating yourself into being uncomfortable. I do so hope it continues.

4:36 am

yeah....i am thinking crossy is going to go green with envy. my FM has started to settle. of course it is settling...i have an appointment with a specialist for my FM in 6 weeks. i am left wondering, do i need to see this guy?

4:36 am

no panic...i am going to see him...what he has to of5 may well change my life...

4:38 am

Yes it is best you do.And I am sure, Crossy, will be very pleased for you :-)

4:38 am

it's so ironic. like you make an appointment because you have severe pain. the morning of your appointment you wake up pain-free. and you lie th5, and think...what the hey?

4:39 am

yes, crossy is such a great mate. i know he will be pleased for me.

4:40 am

I think most people have been in that situation, Rose, Like toothache. It can be killing you with pain..you get an appointment and on the day the pain has totally gone..leaving you stunned and thinking what the hell is going on..lol

4:43 am

roflol, yes zooz.

5:05 am

good morning everyone:)

5:05 am

okay, dinner time. xoxox. i have just had a completely disjointed conversation with my husband. previously, he has claimed his inseam is a certain length...nowadays his jeans drag on the ground...he claims he doesn't know how much to take up his new jeans...* sigh and lol *

5:05 am

Hello,Crossy :-)

5:05 am

morning crossy.

5:05 am

howdy zooz:)

5:05 am

((rose))

5:06 am

Enjoy your meal, Rose.

5:07 am

Tell him to wear shoes with a bigger heel..or failing that tell him to wear shorts..problem solved :-)

5:07 am

crossy, was saying earlier...you would be so envious. my FM seems to be settling, and i am sleeping 5-6 hours/night.

5:07 am

reading back a bit. Crossy has two brand new jig-saw puzzles for your enjoyment on Jigidi!

5:07 am

okay!! thanx crossy. checking in...

5:07 am

Cool will check them out later.Thanks, Crossy!

5:07 am

I am very happy for you, rose;). A good night sleep is a beautiful thing indeed.

5:08 am

one puzzle is of wild turkeys and a white tailed deer sharing a hunt for ground apples under the snow and the other is picktures of our hikes on the Blue Mountain Bruce Trail

5:09 am

whoot crossy, looks like 2 i can do...btw, i have emailed you, mate.

5:09 am

ok, rose, will check email in a few

5:09 am

yes, i kept them both in the 250 range

5:10 am

some tablets and netbooks cannot tolerate the 400 piece giants puzzles

5:11 am

I find it strains my eyes to look at such tiny pieces on a laptop screen..so i tend not to do ones in the 400 range.

5:16 am

Email sent , Rose:)

5:16 am

Nope, zooz. After muich experimentation and trying to give what the masses desire, I find 250 the perfect compromise

5:17 am

ok, time to start this grid. is it friendly?

5:18 am

Not too bad so far from doing jigdi and this I have found 161 words and still finding plenty more as I speak :-)

5:21 am

fyi, that Ji9gidi puzzle of the tree canopy was one my beloved took last week. They are actually maple trees. Our maples usually do not grow with a height such as what you see here, but this part of the hiking trail is in a protected area of the Bruce trail, and trees such as these, left undisturbed develop this height and canopy appearance in a race to the sunlight. They are at least 150 feet in hight and rare.

5:23 am

a normal front yard maple will be much wider than tall and have a 20-30 foot height range and be wider in the trunk if left to its own devices

5:23 am

It does look like a nice place to spend an afternoon. Love forests and coastal places.

5:24 am

lol, that picture is a two hour hike in up a moderate 500m incline. pack light, zooz;)

5:26 am

Sounds like my type of hike. I have no trouble with steep inclines or really wild hard to get places.Those are the places I love most.

5:26 am

it is actually the highest point of land in the georgian bay area, and popular with the day hikers. Had a calorie counter thing-a-majig on my iphone running and i burnt 2200 calories getting to the place:)

5:27 am

then it would definitely be for you:)

5:28 am

I have many other photos of that hike, and will add a few more to jigidi as I get around to it

5:29 am

flop

5:29 am

oops

5:29 am

Wow that is a lot of calories..lol..That would mean an extra bar of chocolate for me..oh OK then a banana.

5:29 am

Got those two words from that F already.

5:30 am

yup. was sweating bullets when we got to that part. In 2 months since the trails became manageable I have lost 17 pounds of weight

5:31 am

I thought Gloop was a word.

5:31 am

That is good, Crossy!

5:31 am

i know "goop" as a word

5:31 am

darn, in the pb i go

5:31 am

I suppose it would need a Y on the end.

5:32 am

Ha thanks for that one. Enjoy your time in the PB :-)

5:32 am

we pack some granola bars and sunflower seeds and off we go

5:33 am

Sounds lovely, Crossy, Would be nice if the warm weather was all year round.Then you could go anytime!

5:33 am

went to a dollar store and set up two day-packs for hikes under 8 hours in length for both the mrs and I

5:34 am

only thing not bought at the dollar store is my bush knife which cost more that all the rest of the stuff combined. Always have a top-end knife

5:35 am

Well yes I can imagine it being a vital tool for most things really.

5:35 am

I take it you take a mobile phone with you?

5:38 am

signal gets lost on the hill and is sporatic at best, but yes, all the pictures are taken with my iphone 4s:)

5:39 am

I takes a decent picture for what it is:)

5:39 am

it*

5:39 am

Yes was thinking on the safety side just in case.

5:39 am

My sister has the new HTC phone.It seems to take amazing photos.

5:39 am

I MIGHT get a signal out, but I would not rely on it

5:40 am

what i do want is a couple of those personal GPS beacons that just clip on your belt. They work anywhere, but a good one will run $300, CAD

5:41 am

Well it could be money well spent.

5:42 am

The interesting thing is, once you buy one, you have to register it as they work in much the same way as an aircraft location beacon and there are fines if they are used incorrectly

5:43 am

I can understand that. I would think it would only be used for emergency purposes.

5:44 am

I think it is set up so you can run a test on it 5 times a year, but other than that it is never to be used unless of dire, life threatening emergency. great things they are

5:45 am

I have not heard of these over hear. not sure if like mountaineers would have things like that I am not sure.

5:47 am

here is a site featuring a few of them. I am sure you can order one set up for the U.K

5:47 am

http://tinyurl.com/muu7mkf

5:48 am

mostly they are about half the size of a deck of cards and come with an emergency strobe light

5:49 am

ACR make the best ones and you can google their web site for a full list

5:49 am

actually i have it here, somewhere...

5:49 am

They look rather snazzy. Would these new smart phones have a GPS tracking system on them.For like to know where your child is.Maybe that would be just as effective..although i suppose it would be dependent on the phone signal?

5:49 am

Hello friends.

5:50 am

Hello, Scrabs :-)

5:50 am

http://www.acrartex.com/

5:50 am

howdy, scrabby

5:50 am

Yes, I do not rely on any cell signal

5:51 am

though the ones the phones offer are good for tracking your child in a urban setting

5:51 am

g'day scrabs

5:52 am

Hi Rose. I love typing away with these big grids, don't you?

5:52 am

and ACR has a standing offer in that " If you use it, we will replace it"

5:52 am

They all seem to be yellow, Crossy, is that like an emergency colour over there?..Orange seems to be the colour here.

5:52 am

absolutely, scrabs. they are so much fun.

5:53 am

That's a good thing, Crossy, peace of mind for sure.

5:54 am

I have seen them in orange as well. This company seems to prefer yellow, however. both are eye catching and stand out:)

5:54 am

I just turned on the Weather Channel to see what Hurricane Arthur is doing.

5:55 am

I am becoming rather hungry.Time for me to look for some food to consume.

5:55 am

Hurricane, Scrabs!! oh no hope it fizzles out quickly.

5:56 am

It has the potential to his the US in North Carolina tomorrow--not good for Independence Day and for vacationers.

5:56 am

OK another long belly grumble.bbl

5:57 am

scrabs...hurricane??? ne4 you, dear?

5:57 am

I am not near a coast at all, but the area of landfall is a popular vacation spot, especially with Independence Day celebrations.

5:58 am

oh, de4!!! praying it will be diverted or abate in the next 12 hours.

6:00 am

enjoy zooz, mate

6:00 am

that part of the U.S coastline seems to be a catchers mitt for all of these hurricanes;(

6:01 am

The Gulf Coast has been hit often enough too.

6:03 am

okay....past my pumpkin time...prayers that all in the US of A and canada are safe. xoxox

6:04 am

Sleep well, Rose.

6:06 am

have a good night granny. No worries about a hurricane here. We are not really set up for it. The exception being Hurricane Hazel back in the 60's

6:06 am

Good morning

6:06 am

howdy, sukee

6:07 am

So nice here today, the humidity is way down.

6:07 am

nice here as well, sukee, 15c here and welcoming the overcast skies

6:08 am

Actually just looked. It's 12C here now but the humidity is actually still high. But much better when it's cooler.

6:08 am

was talking with my brother in Vegas yesterday. He told me it was 106f!! I told him that he was insane

6:09 am

Seriously

6:09 am

Hi Sukee

6:09 am

Hi Scrabbler

6:10 am

he told me it was a dry heat. well, i am sure it is. An oven is a dry heat as well, but you will not see me climbing into one any time soon!

6:10 am

If I live in Vegas I'd never go outside.

6:10 am

I think they run from air conditioner to air conditioner

6:12 am

My brother tells me that now, after 2 years there, his blood is as thin as tap water and in their "winter" when the temperature falls below 70f, they bundle up like eskimos

6:12 am

Listening to the news about the kid and his grandparents who disappeared in Calgary. Very sad.

6:12 am

have not even turned on the news yet today

6:13 am

I watch Canada AM every day to start off.

6:14 am

I hiked Angels Landing in Zion National Park 3 yrs ago when it was 105 degrees F!

6:15 am

I avoid any news till after breakfast. Do not wish my appetite to be spoiled:(

6:15 am

that was insane as well, scrabby

6:15 am

Well, it's mostly fun stuff, just major news once an hour.

6:15 am

My last 6k hike was done in 90f and i called myself all kinds of stupid by the halfway mark

6:16 am

I bet :)

6:16 am

because it is far from level and a hiking pole is a must for several of the slopes

6:17 am

gm everybody

6:17 am

mornng

6:17 am

i would give one section a good 30 degree incline

6:17 am

rest

6:17 am

oops, sorry

6:17 am

howdy, MLF

6:18 am

Hydration is the key. I got heat exhaustion in the Grand Canyon 2 days prior, in 95 degrees F. So at Zion I drank 132 oz of water in 6 hrs.

6:18 am

Hi MLFAN

6:18 am

howdy cross

6:18 am

I believe it, scrabby, we each carry 2 litres of water and a Lifestraw

6:19 am

hi scrab

6:19 am

wowsa- big grid today- morning all :-)

6:19 am

howdy, wolvie

6:19 am

hi wolvie

6:20 am

Hi Wolvie

6:20 am

actually, last trip out was our first use of the Lifestraw and it is amazing!

6:20 am

removes all turbidity as well

6:23 am

I have a Sawyer filter system.

6:23 am

they are handy things to have:)

6:25 am

third column O?

6:25 am

just google the Sawyer systems. they are much the same in effectiveness :)

6:27 am

It is nice to not have to worry. Any body of water is yours for the using. I read they are working hard on salt water ones now

6:28 am

though their lifespand and output would be much, much less

6:28 am

An odorous grid today! :)

6:28 am

howdy, jaxx:))

6:28 am

Hi, crossy et al

6:28 am

hi jaxx

6:29 am

hello friends....didn't have my glasses on when I opened up babble, and thought there were 779 words today - almost had a stroke!

7:06 am

lol- morning trif

7:07 am

wow, I have wicked bad word entering lag today. bummer

7:08 am

howdy trif:))

7:08 am

lol @ 779:)

7:09 am

howdy crossy! boy, do I wish we lived closer....I have about a million things around here I could hire you to help me with, and in one day - poof - my whole life would be fixed

7:09 am

you are my guru of knowledge, crossy

7:09 am

I still have nightmares about the 744 we had a while ago

7:10 am

lol, trif. My better half would have to fill you in a bit, i think. While i DO have the knowledge, it is the actual carrying out of projects in a timely manner that is a bit of a problem.

7:11 am

oh, we were separated at birth, crossy....

7:11 am

I tend to procrastinate a tad.

7:12 am

me too. proof: my dishwasher died in april, so I had to buy a new one. I got it installed YESTERDAY. I am not proud of this.

7:12 am

Are you sure you are not Devonian? never do today what you can leave til next year.

7:12 am

for example; I can build a nice, functional bookshelf from scratch, but i will hold up the old, rickety unit with bricks and shims for two years before i get around to doing that:)

7:13 am

Definitely Devonian, both of you.

7:13 am

I am the daughter of a depression baby who was raised by a scottish mother - preaching to the choir

7:15 am

As you know, going without specs can cause you to see things wrongly. I am off to the optician's today for an eye test. I am having problems seeing with my specs ON! I will love and leave you. Bbl

7:15 am

good luck jaxx!

7:24 am

lol@ depression Scottish mother. My da used to have a joke about a Scotsman's tin can collection and his pet dime, but i cannot remember it now.

7:25 am

doing great Trif

7:25 am

one of the best parts of my school gig is getting summer time to babble

7:25 am

My M.I.L at the time of her death 2 years ago, was still using the coffee cups from a dish set she we given on her wedding day 53 years previous.

7:26 am

LOL crossy. My minister used to tell of a woman who was cleaning out her parents house after he last parent died, and found a box with itty bitty tiny bits of string, none more than an inch long. the box was labeled "string too short to save?

7:26 am

lol

7:26 am

lol trif

7:26 am

now see, to me, that is a sign of a quality set of cups, crossy.

7:26 am

ah yes hoarders..

7:26 am

Im still using the pans I received as a wedding gift...and we all know how THAT turned out!

7:27 am

lol. I am sure they were, and it was her everyday use cups as well, not a one broken in 53 years. amazing really

7:27 am

i have bits and pieces of the fireking dinnerware from my grandmothers stuff- all they could afford back in the day lol no complete sets- most of it broke over the years

7:27 am

so am I Trif and mine didnt work out so well either

7:27 am

I sort of dig that. morning routine brings a certain comfort.

7:28 am

I used to have some of my mums old corning ovenware. things last forever

7:29 am

though I have to admit - my summer project is cleaning the clutter out of my home. Primo is on his third apartment, after two dorms, and somehow a wave of stuff arrives here after each move. the girls are done with polly pockets and barbies. they have outgrown shoes, bags, belts, books....its all going to a GREAT thrift store ne4 here, so it can bless someone else, and I can breathe a bit easier in a tidier home

7:29 am

plus - we are having house guests in two weeks. NOTHING inspires a good clean more than incoming guests

7:30 am

My beloved and I have been in the same place for 20 years now and our "baby" is now 20 years old, so we are long overdue for a momoth yard sale

7:30 am

mammoth

7:30 am

Everytime i get a visitor now i make them take something with them when they leave:)

7:31 am

lol- that sounds like my grandmother crossy- she did that a lot.

7:31 am

yard sales exhaust me. you bust ass for a week, and for what? $100?

7:32 am

yup. Here we geat early moring trollers. What they do is watch you set up on a saturday morn, walk over and offer you a single price for the entire lot. They them load it all up and take it to a giant flea market in thee city where they have a booth set up and they sell everything for twice the ammount you had on it

7:32 am

Im giving all this stuff away on purpose, believing that if I act from a place of abundance, the universe will notice

7:33 am

ugh. hate those trollers

7:33 am

but it makes for a fst day, if the price is right

7:33 am

fast

7:33 am

does rather mean less clean up though....

7:33 am

I am surprised at how much around here is just absolute trash. that's rather embarrassing

7:34 am

Yes, we tend to keep all our "treasures" way too long

7:35 am

for example, I have a 1980 remminton hybrid typewriter that is almost impossible to get ribbons for, yet it sits in the closet year after year

7:35 am

hoarders anonymous

7:35 am

I have decided I really don't like living with animals in the house. the amount of dog hair, things they chew, scratch, etc. is sort of gross. not to mention the things that get, well, marinated.

7:35 am

Our garage is full of "extra" furniture that is just getting mildewed and spider webby

7:35 am

lol, our cats are the reason we shall never get our security deposit back

7:35 am

((ruby))

7:36 am

i could never live without my animals in the house lol. i just make sure i have no carpets :D

7:36 am

but it's impossible to have a garage sale here

7:36 am

hi ruby

7:36 am

{{crossy}}

7:36 am

why, ruby?

7:36 am

Reading the chat, you could certainly solve my problems, too

7:37 am

First of all, our garage is down from the street and there is a locked gate between, 2nd, if we put the stuff in the parking lot, I think it would violate local laws, and 3) who's going to shlep all that sh** up to the street?

7:38 am

and, of course, my dogs would go insane

7:38 am

lol, then chop it all up and burn it in the fireplace

7:38 am

or set up a rental unit in your garage with it all

7:39 am

I couldn't live here without the dogs. They are really very discreet except they have very dense fur. comb out PILES of it every day.

7:39 am

should card it all, ruby and run it through a spinning wheel and sell it for sweater material;)

7:39 am

And they've only chewed off one section of wallpaper which I'll repair one of these years (that's the "devon" side of my shtetl

7:40 am

sheep dip it to clean it, and dye it interesting colours

7:40 am

I knew a woman who actually knittd using her dogs' fur. It would be soft but it's seems a little icky to me

7:41 am

I have heard of several people doing that

7:41 am

how does sheep dip actually work? ould it clean my stinky Raffie girl?

7:42 am

there was one dog who had severe allergies to syntetic man-made fibes in doggy clothing, so the owner did just that

7:42 am

you will have to google the proper sheep dip process;)

7:42 am

Maybe I could ask a local farmer

7:43 am

would not hurt:)

7:44 am

I have never understood that whole sheep dip process...

7:45 am

here is everything you need to know about sheep dipping:)

I guess it gets rid of parasites.....sheep ticks ?

7:45 am

it is a nice pdf booklet

7:46 am

yup, for parasites

7:47 am

mmm, sounds like pretty harsh stuff though:(

7:52 am

(just found the word that should have put me in the PB, but you were too nice to say anything)

7:53 am

{{annie}}

7:55 am

hi crossy, trif,grant and (ruby)

7:55 am

school year kept me away from babble in the mornings grant, but summer....ahhhhhhh

7:55 am

today's crossy breakfast is rather boring I am afraid. Oatmeal with banana slices, brown sugar and a drop of cream

7:56 am

indeed, trif. i have almost 8 weeks off!

7:56 am

hi annie, grant :-)

7:56 am

Hi wolvie

7:56 am

good morning all

7:57 am

so hey - today in the states is "cell phone freedom" day....you aren't supposed to go near it all day, sort of a self check on how addicted to your phone you are

7:58 am

just putting it out there, in case anyone wants to give it a go

7:58 am

that's very funny, trif, we don't have one, but anybody walking in the street has one glued to his ear

7:58 am

lol- i wont have any trouble with that - i forget mine most days

7:59 am

im still bringing mine in the car today. that to me is a safety issues

7:59 am

I have one, but use it seldon for actual phone calls. I think I was better off without one tbh

7:59 am

Mine is in my purse, forget I even have it

7:59 am

What's wrong with the car, trif?

7:59 am

same here, wolvie

7:59 am

opar

7:59 am

well, sadly, I am on mine all the time, checking fb, sending texts, playing games, etc.

8:00 am

also try to remember to carry it when i am out in the car

8:00 am

lol- sorry- typo to boot

8:00 am

hello teach

8:00 am

nothing is wrong with my car, crossy, but if something did happen, my phone would be critical

8:00 am

i never play games on my phone- i find the screen too small ;-)

8:00 am

but never really use it - have to remind myself to charge it once a week

8:00 am

hi teach

8:00 am

gm teach

8:00 am

you sound like me teach

8:00 am

yes, I also carry it when on long drives. Nothing worse than a twn mile hike to find a phone if the car fails

8:01 am

ten

8:01 am

good morning all

8:01 am

howdy, teach

8:01 am

I think if I went any place I would want one in the car but when who would I call? Husband is not exactly able to deal with "situations" lol

8:02 am

then, not when*

8:02 am

phantom "serenade"

8:03 am

I tried it twice, crossy

8:03 am

phantoms: farther, opiate, father,

8:03 am

:)

8:03 am

i like having mine in the car for the gps- i havent purchased a new car since 02- and at that time i opted not to pay the extra for gps lol. going to buy a new car next year

8:03 am

My new jeep does everything but brew my morning coffee for me:)

8:04 am

our little car came with gps but I am so short that the screen blocked my view so I took it out

8:04 am

and it can do that as well since it had a DC to AC inverter and two 110v outlets in addition to a pair of 12v and 3 usb outlets

8:04 am

my cell phone is "just" a phone - no gps, no camera, no internet - but it makes calls

8:04 am

oh, gps...forgot that. use my phone for that DAILY

8:05 am

I do not. I am male, and thus, never lost:)))

8:05 am

lol- oh crossy

8:06 am

I have a question for you tech geniuses" is there an inexpensive phone or other device which takes videos? I would love to make one of my pups wr***ling

8:06 am

rules for guys #452- Neve EVER ask for directions, even if it neams driving 200 miles out of your way:)

8:06 am

hahah! One of my favorite things about valentine - he will ask for directions in a heartbeat, as he can't bear wasting time being lost

8:06 am

you must have oil stock :D

8:06 am

yes, ruby. An iphone 4s is under 60 dollars now and takes nice videos

ah me... mine has no sense of direction at all and is always lost...

8:07 am

ahaa ty, crossy

8:07 am

my husband has never looked at a map, doesn't known from S but now I've started doing the driving, o it's not a problem

8:07 am

you do not even need a phone plan, you can just use it for pictures, video and file storage if you wish

8:07 am

I was in a very very bad car accident when I was 2.5 years old, and my mother swears my head injury knocked any sense of direction right out of me

8:08 am

He was starting to get mixed up even though he drives well

8:09 am

{{trif}} we are lucky to have you here, sense of direction or not!

8:10 am

aww, thanks ruby! If I ever had to shave my head, you would be able to see that the back of my skull is all misshapen and odd. sort of like the rest of me :)

8:10 am

((crossy)) Can you take still pics with it as well and, if so, can you transfer to computer via USB and/or send directly from the phone without a phone plan?

8:10 am

morning mimi

8:17 am

We are going to a BBQ in NJ--hope Arthur has other plans rather than visiting us

8:17 am

the key is to buy one that the contract has run out on.

8:17 am

getting together with friends for a barbecue myself

8:18 am

mmmm, BBQ!

8:18 am

I just bought mine at the verizon store as that is my phone plan provider. They always have sales. And when the next version comes out the older one is sometimes free.

8:19 am

hmm. I am getting hungry. think I will wander on. much love to all my babble peeps

8:19 am

used ones on amazon are around $80 but I think I'll ask my local tech guy who is coming on Sunday to fix husband's computer

8:20 am

good to see you Trif

8:20 am

that would be a good idea, ruby

8:21 am

I'll ask my son, maybe he has an old one lying around....

8:21 am

wish i was there for you ruby. Would fix your computer for a good exotic meal from my french GF

8:21 am

why isn't farrest an acceptable word? like *you live the farrest away from me*

8:21 am

{{hugs everybody}} and bye

8:21 am

lol, river

8:21 am

I know I know it is furthest but....

8:21 am

what about farterest?

8:21 am

fartherest

8:21 am

and you are the farthest from me, river!

8:22 am

nothing like a typo on a pretend word:(

8:22 am

and why isn't fa**er a word/

8:22 am

lol crossy

8:23 am

Farterest should be a word--one who farts the most!

8:24 am

Mimi is off to the PB

8:24 am

fartiest?

8:24 am

Last one - tr 8/50 any clues please

8:24 am

Yep...it's my second home!

8:26 am

It's my first!

8:27 am

Crossy, what is the max temp for you there in the summer?

8:28 am

I have seen highs into the upper 90's , but it is a rare thing. July and august are typically 75-85f

8:28 am

though right now it is 65f

8:28 am

and very plesant

8:30 am

humid here today with temps in the 80's. thunderstorms coming in again. Storms were bad yesterday and did not break up this humidity.

8:30 am

Crossy, I think our weather is very similar - maybe a tad bit warmer here.

8:30 am

We're in our monsoon season..may get some rain in the next couple of days...actually humid here today (for us).

8:31 am

We are expecting wind and rain from the bands of Arthur. Thunderstorms this afternoon.

8:31 am

I could not handle the kind of heat you get Mimi

8:31 am

neither could I

8:31 am

We're actually having a cold snap today...only 107.

8:32 am

I really hate it. Glad I can stay home most of the time. So happy that Safeway delivers my groceries!

8:32 am

yikes....

8:32 am

The hottest temp I ever experienced was 104 degrees and we were crossing the GWB and was stuck in traffic.

8:33 am

It has hit 100 here but that is rare.

8:33 am

Good morning everyone

8:33 am

morning all!

8:33 am

hi car. :)

Nice biggun' today to start the holiday weekend!

hi car, mimi, river, annie!

8:34 am

Hello, hello, hello!

8:35 am

Hello Sue, sorry to hear of Franks struggles again.

8:35 am

I'd love to see New Hampshire, river...I'll bet it's really beautiful.

8:35 am

thanks, river; we are off to the surgeon this morning

hi car, hi sue

8:35 am

sue, I am mentioning Frank's name in my prayers and praying for his recovery and good health

8:35 am

It is beautiful here

8:36 am

my thoughts will be with you both sue

8:36 am

thank you annie!! at this point we can use all the help we can get...

8:36 am

thanks, river!

8:36 am

sue, We are all with you and Frank

8:36 am

Sue, I know we're all keeping you in our prayers.

8:36 am

And car.eeyore can attest to that as she is not far from me

8:37 am

You have my prayers as well. I can put Frank on the prayer list at church too if that will help.

8:37 am

thanks, car!

8:38 am

((suze!!))

8:39 am

hi crossy!

8:40 am

I've been in every other state in the contiguous 48 but only as far as Boston...never been to the "real" New England. Maybe one day.

8:40 am

Sue, I just sent an email to the church secretary

8:40 am

Boston is REAL!!!!

8:40 am

thank you so much, car!

8:41 am

New England is beautiful, car! I would love to move to Vermont...

8:41 am

I know, car...I just think of it as part of the whole D.C./N.Y. experience somehow.

8:41 am

Never!

8:42 am

Apologies.........

Watching news and Hurricane Arthur approaching North Carolina. Reminds me of "Nights in Rodanthe." Bet it's actually not at all that romantic.

Ok...thx

8:44 am

Diane Lane and Richard Gere?

8:44 am

reminds me of the tractor pull at the county fair, crossy!

8:45 am

well, I love a good tractor pull, but it is not a every day driver thing:)

8:45 am

Yes, car...love that movie. Makes me cry every time. That's Nicholas Sparks for you, though...someone always dies.

8:45 am

Imagine being behind one of those trucks at a stoplight

8:45 am

well, must get going; I'll post updates here when I can, and also on Caring Bridge

8:46 am

give frank my best suze

8:46 am

Gotta get plugged into work before someone else grabs all the work...that's been happening lately and it makes me mad but I can't do anything about it since the person doing it is my boss' mother...AARGH!

8:46 am

all the best sue - I must go too - work interruptions galore so must get back to it.

8:46 am

go get them mimi!

8:46 am

Hugs to you, sue...hang in there, dear.

8:47 am

Hugs to all!

8:47 am

when is new work "posted" mimi?

8:48 am

It has been a real struggle lately, crossy. Never know when the doc I transcribe will enter the new dictations so I end up sitting by the computer with that window open most of the day and downloading as it arrives on the screen and transcribe it later so I won't miss any....awful. And her mother is allowed to transcribe two other docs but I am not...stupid.

8:49 am

That sucks mimi.

8:49 am

My work has been very slow lately as well.

8:49 am

that sucks there is no pre-set time. they just have you waiting on-call all day:(

8:50 am

Can't complain...need the work. But once I actually get the money from my settlement, at least I'll have that as a backup and can breathe easier.

8:50 am

Whats your turn around time, Mimi?

8:50 am

I am gladd that is settled for you at least;)

8:50 am

Yes...and I don't get paid for the waiting...just the production.

8:51 am

For this company for the doc I do it's 2 days, car, but everyone else I've ever worked it was a matter of hours. This is an unusual situation.

8:51 am

You do know, mimi, that you can write off your computer and internet fees as it is part of your work equipment needed for taxable income.

8:51 am

Of course, I get her turned around in one day...or less.

8:51 am

But because of her mom you have to sit there and jump on a file if it comes in?

8:52 am

Yes, crossy, and planning to do so next year. I didn't have to file this year as I only worked 6 months.

8:52 am

ahh, ok then:)

8:52 am

a honest empolyer would spread out the work;(

8:53 am

employer

8:53 am

Yes. And when my doc goes on vacation (which she just did and is going to again in a week), I have NO income at all. But her mother has the other two. I know why she's doing that but it's still not fair, especially since I'm actually the most skilled and experienced. Guess she figures I won't leave...and she's right. Just have to swallow my pride over and over again....but I have enough to spare, luckily.

8:53 am

Mimi...since I own my own company now, would you be interested in covering a vacation for me, if I ever get to take one?

8:54 am

Mimi, you could "leave" and go with another company.

8:54 am

there ya go mimi:))

8:54 am

What kind of work do you have, car?

8:55 am

Ophthalmology, but nothing too over the top. I could provide you with all the details, samples, and a list of commonly used words.

8:55 am

I could give it a try, car. I've done several specialties but my expertise is Radiology, which does encompass pretty much every other field.

8:56 am

Cool! Now, if I eve get to take a vaca...I will let you know!

8:56 am

Ha, ha...I know what you mean! I'd be game, though, so keep it in mind.

8:57 am

babble contacts:)) nothing finer:))

8:57 am

It's difficult to get in with another company now that voice recognition has taken over so much in Radiology...not much work out there. I looked for THREE YEARS before finding this one.

8:58 am

Even with M*Modal?

8:58 am

At least I get to kind of make my own hours and work at home. I just have to get used to the permanent indentations in my tongue from biting it so often!

8:59 am

M*Modal was formerly Medquist

8:59 am

Yep...tried them.

9:00 am

name that proper noun....union boss supposedly buried in cement

9:00 am

Jimmy hoffa

9:00 am

It really goes against my personality to hold back, in case you haven't already gleaned that.

9:00 am

Hoffa

9:00 am

HOFFA

9:00 am

ding ding ding!!!!

9:00 am

X2

9:01 am

Keep your feelers out, Mimi....keep applying to other companies. Life is too short to work that way.

9:01 am

lol, mimi squeaked the answer in as well

9:01 am

phantom: hoopla

9:03 am

I'm OK. I like the pace and most of the time it's fine. We haven't had as much work lately so it has been a little cutthroat between her mother and me. I can handle it. I think she needs the money more than I do, also. Claims she can't get SS retirement, though I don't know why.

9:03 am

Last name of morning TV host who used to work with Regis......?

9:04 am

Whoa--they're evacuating the outer banks of NC.

9:06 am

What...no one knows Kelly Ripa?!!!

9:06 am

Gotta run. Have a good day and hugs all around. Gotta go play hawk and wait for my prey to arrive.

9:07 am

I was taking a break! Sorry! Rippa!

9:08 am

Have a good one Mimi!

9:09 am

Does anyone else get headaches when a significant weather front moves through?

9:09 am

Haha...there were 4 waiting and I got 'em first!!!!

9:10 am

You go girl! That'll teach her mom to pee!

9:10 am

ROFL!!

9:11 am

Wouldn't know about weather-change headaches, car....we don't HAVE any weather here...just heat.

9:12 am

mmm! found a supplier that has home-made salt-water taffy..mmm. very tasty indeed.

9:12 am

Now gone...poink!

9:13 am

I made a trip to a nearby General Store yesterday and found the Bit O'Honey bars that my DH has been pining for!

9:13 am

Sorry...just saw the cutest thing....video of a dog laying a stick at the feet of a statue and wanting to play fetch!

9:13 am

Crossy...we have salt water taffy all over the place over here! Would you like me to get you some and send it?

9:13 am

Good morning!

9:13 am

9:57 am

9:57 am

wait! trend isn't in the grid.

9:57 am

lol Judi

9:57 am

Ha! Made you look.

9:58 am

lol you did.

9:59 am

with our harem of kitties , a screen door here is about as useful as having one installed on a submarine:(

9:59 am

I had to put in a pet door for my cats.

9:59 am

Tell your husband to start shopping for your prexents at a jewelry store instead of home depot :D

9:59 am

That or hire a doorman.

9:59 am

They do make "pet proof" screen doors. However, they will only stand up to so much clawing and climbing.

10:00 am

ours are inside kats. too many end up as road kill here or coyote dinner if allowed to roam

10:01 am

My cat too. Although I do live on the 9th floor of an apartment. He does get out on the balcony.

10:01 am

I have edging around the bottom so he won't slip through and he does not jump up.

10:02 am

Nine stories would be a big leap. Cats are smarter than that.

10:02 am

not always.

10:02 am

He is blind and only jumps up on things he can get his paws on.

10:02 am

Imagine the neighbors turn a blind eye to the cats nude sunbathing.

10:02 am

Indoor cats live longer lives..and are just as happy

10:03 am

My balcony is all closed off, lots of privacy.

10:03 am

And no buildings looking into mine

10:03 am

My cat got to be 16. But he did have some scrapes.

10:03 am

nice Sukee.

10:03 am

My cat turned 16 this year.

10:04 am

lovely

10:05 am

*crosses fingers* Hope my cats enjoy such long lives.

10:05 am

our first cat made it to 16 but ended up with rectal cancer and declined fast in last two months of her life:(

10:05 am

I thought the three mice were supposed to be blind...not the cat

10:07 am

My nephew's cat is blind. She gets around the house just fine.

10:07 am

Mine too, you can barely tell he is blind.

10:09 am

Would much rather have a weasel around than a skunk.

10:57 am

10:57 am

am allergic to them as well.

10:58 am

Never want skunks about, we did see a weasel in our yard once, a Fisher

10:58 am

where i used to live our next door neighbor had a raccoon as a pet

10:58 am

Polecats are NOT rodents....ferrets are domesticated polecats

10:58 am

And skunks are not rodents either

10:58 am

I stand corrected movie

10:59 am

Maybe a polecat is any animal that emits a musky odor? However, a fox would not be classified as a polecat.

10:59 am

A stinkbug is not a polecat.

11:00 am

Do foxes have musky odors?

11:00 am

So I have heard, Bichon. Never gotten close enough to one to find out (thankfully).

Hi jaxx

Ty chrissie

Nice picture Ormal. Is that near where you live?

2:05 pm

Nice to meet you ormal

2:06 pm

hi jaxxx

2:06 pm

still jumping in and out as the chance allows

2:06 pm

You too jaxx, and it was near one of the places I used to live chrissie. I was going to stay & chat a bit, but I have to go buy my daughter's college book. Sigh. I'll come back later.

Me too flosey. No chance of finishing

2:07 pm

I am down to 11 so hopefully!

2:07 pm

I was going great guns this morning but this evening....

wtg flosey :)

2:07 pm

many more things I should be doing!!

Always, lol

2:08 pm

Yes but nothing as entertaining as Babble

2:08 pm

yes, as my mom always said woman's work is never done - but most of the time I'm quite satisfied as is

So true jaxx

2:09 pm

for sure

2:09 pm

with such pleasant company

I'm babbling and watching the grass grow. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it, just to make sure it's growing straight

2:10 pm

love it, Chrissie

2:11 pm

i am babbling and getting nowhere

No grass to keep an eye on? :)

2:12 pm

just read your bio Chrissie - who is your sister? and btw, very happy looking couple

ty flosey. That,was taken on holiday in majorca in March this year.

2:13 pm

Our grass is sadly run on by chickens so the garden is anything but neat.

My sister is frogface. She's not playing much at the moment but her ex partner worzel has a picture of her with him in his profile

Ooh, fresh eggs

2:16 pm

They are only pekin bantams but the eggs tho' small are lovely.

2:16 pm

good afternoon everyone:)

2:16 pm

crossy!!!!!

2:16 pm

((jaxx))

Hi crossy. Thanks for the picture

2:16 pm

no problem at all chrissie

2:17 pm

It is a shot I particularly like as well:)

2:18 pm

If you ever come and visit, i can take you there in person(bring a hiking stick) lol

2:18 pm

We used to breed from them but a neighbour complained to the council about the noise the cockerels made and we had to kill them. The noise that the hens made because they missed the cockerels was worse than the cockerels. Then the miserable madam, not more than two weeks later left the district! Some people.

That's sad jaxx

Are you tempted to get another cockerel now she's gone?

2:21 pm

No, it is not worth the horrible task of culling them. We then couldn't eat them so we took the little bodies up to the local moor for the foxes.

I'd have to bring a spare pair of legs, no stamina nowadays!

2:22 pm

That is me, too, chrissie

2:22 pm

Chrissie, I often use blunt-end ski poles when I go hiking with hubby

2:23 pm

not to worry, give me a week on the trail with you and you will have legs, I promise!

2:23 pm

not really hiking, more walking on pretty flat surfaces

That sounds like a good idea flosey

2:23 pm

Does that make it a bit like Nordic hiking?

2:23 pm

hi all back to finish. :-) Chrissie i guess i missed out on that whole folks are others thing lol- i thought it was just crossy she had a buggaboo about :D

Hi Wolvie

2:24 pm

I was amused to no end with that entire scenario;)

2:25 pm

since Joso loves eggs bennie and crossy does not:))

2:25 pm

well i only heard about yours crossy and it made me spit my coffee out that day :D

2:25 pm

All I can say about this grid is Wow! And hello everyone.

2:25 pm

as flosey can attest to;)

2:25 pm

hahahaha- good chuckle

2:25 pm

hi SeaSpray

2:25 pm

hi seaspray- nice chat handle. could use some now lol

Especially good when that lovely photo of the pair of you with flosey appeared to put an end to that

2:25 pm

Crossy and Joso two great guys

2:26 pm

not seeing much of Joso these days though

2:26 pm

yup flosey.

2:26 pm

yes, flosey gave the photo a classy upgrade from just us guys who were like two sides of calgary beef-on-the-hoof:)

2:26 pm

a lot of folks left i think- i know i did for awhile when it got to be too thick

2:27 pm

lol, Crossy, loved it!

2:27 pm

I would prefer to stay out of this.

2:27 pm

but at any rate all that is behind us- or spoken about privately- which is all for the good :D

2:27 pm

yup. time for bigger and better things:)

2:28 pm

Like today's grid

2:29 pm

ugh- this grid is a biggie no doubt- but it is so humid i debunked inside- gave up on the outdoors ;-)

2:30 pm

I will be back shortly - the Robofish has died

bbl, happy babbling all and congratulations to flosey on your fast approaching fireworks

2:30 pm

ttfn Chrissi and jaxx

2:30 pm

am flad for the reminder. Just dug that picture out of my digital storage and shall post it in my blog. I am quite proud of it since it was my very first babble get-together

2:31 pm

robofish?

2:31 pm

glad

2:32 pm

Robofish are aquabots, crossie. They swim up and down in the bath. Ashley had two for Christmas and one is leaking so the cells have shorted out.

2:33 pm

with any luck and if all the stars align correctly, i shall have some of Mimi and peri to add to the blog soon

2:33 pm

bye, wolvie

2:33 pm

hope it works out, crossy

2:34 pm

just googled them. very nice! wish i had some as a kid!

2:36 pm

Soodle and I were hoping to get together later this year. I would have been staying with my sister and soodle with her daughter who has just moved to Swindon. Regrettably, my sister and I fell out at her birthday weekend and I think it might be terminal. We didn't get on as youngsters and it seems neither of us are mature enough to say sorry.

2:37 pm

Makes a change from rubber duckies

2:37 pm

ugh jaxx- sorry to hear that- sister wise.

2:38 pm

sorry to hear that jaxx, hope you will be able to solve the problem - or to come to some mutual agreement

2:39 pm

We are alike in stubborness. She doesn't see why she should say sorry for the way she and her husband's family treated me and I don't think it was my fault anyway. so Stale sibling

2:39 pm

I have a problem - Lickety's clues say I'm finished - grid says I'm missing a te8 but it is there!

2:40 pm

2:41 pm

that might work.. i wonder if you can type the last word in again or the oneit says you are missing?

2:42 pm

That means it is loading, flosey

2:43 pm

tr8 prefix for 3 + many sided solid shapes poly*****

4:21 pm

second re 6,21 anyone?

4:21 pm

just looking for it now...

4:22 pm

I scrolled way down and got nan's clue and I see your clue PMS and still cannot get the tr8

4:22 pm

ty penq

4:23 pm

tr = three prefix....like a many headed beast, but change the sometimes vowel to another...

4:23 pm

re 6,21 re + hi4,5

4:23 pm

ty

4:23 pm

I can't figure out the end pen

4:24 pm

so simple and yet elusive! lol

4:24 pm

peri, let me look.

4:25 pm

And I saw in early chat that there is a we8 and es8 that I do not have either

4:25 pm

think of prefix for water for the last part and play with the last vowel...

4:25 pm

147 left and I am getting tired of this grid but I will persevere

4:25 pm

ends the same as te7,44.

4:25 pm

tr8 = tr + vowel + the chick with snakes for hair, different vowel

4:25 pm

end of tr8.......poygon, tetrahedron, decagon are all examples of poy*****

4:26 pm

sorry wrong one. ignore.

4:26 pm

some people don't know much about solid shapes, i think...like me, lol....

4:26 pm

the he 8 is a compound word...

146 here peri and nearly ready to throw in the towel

4:27 pm

Peri, if it's not comedy, it's ***matic.

4:27 pm

and I must go. brb.

4:35 pm

I thought it was medusa who had snakes for hair

4:37 pm

i think i was right....creature with many heads in mythology...

4:38 pm

8:09 pm

ty flosey. we are celebrating with that most traditional american weather pattern, the hurricane

8:10 pm

oh dear, hope it doesn't create any nasty disasters

8:11 pm

we're celebrating out here with a big fire

8:11 pm

just inconvenience, I think. we're supposed to get drenched tomorrow

8:11 pm

sounds like you could use our rain, rurur

8:11 pm

we could use some of that rain - gardens need it

8:12 pm

ru, hope you don't you mean forest fire?

8:12 pm

yep..

8:12 pm

300 + acres so far

8:12 pm

oh no… where?

8:13 pm

pope valley.. just north east of me by a half hour

8:13 pm

sad-- hope it gets contained soon

8:14 pm

sounds like you're staying in Baltimore :D

8:14 pm

ouch, ru, sure hope they get it under control before it comes any further

8:14 pm

yeah.. I have a few friends that have been evacuated

8:15 pm

where is that hurricane supposed to hit harry?

8:15 pm

oh - the plan was for going home saturday night, not tonight. kids' birthday parties are saturday , and their grandpa ( my ex) will be here - first time he's made it to a birthday

8:16 pm

really.. how bout that?

8:16 pm

its supposed to swipe NC, I think. then move offshore? we're not getting wind - just rain

8:16 pm

bet he doesn't like being called grandpa then

8:17 pm

oh where are you located harry?

8:17 pm

Should be interesting - we get along decently - finally

8:17 pm

8:18 pm

I never ever get the rh4/5 until I list. And it seems to be in every single grid.

8:18 pm

Hi there, I'm back for more

8:18 pm

you could call her Faux Grandma :D

8:18 pm

we divorced in 1989.. finally were decent when phoebe was born ( 2006)

8:19 pm

but having kids really does complicate things, ru. i think it;s simpler without

8:19 pm

hi sukee.. a glutton for punishment?

8:19 pm

I must be

8:20 pm

oh. so glad we didn't have kids

8:20 pm

Still 77 to go

8:20 pm

yeah, faux would work great

8:20 pm

*sukee is calculating how many points glutton would be *

8:20 pm

maybe instead of Grandma .. Fauxma

8:21 pm

but then that's too much like ms. fake cheese

8:22 pm

don't particularly care for either one of them

8:22 pm

well.. if you don't I wouldn't either :D

8:23 pm

Sheesh, I'm stuck on an ar 5/10

8:25 pm

He is in his 50s and likes to hang out with his buddies in bars every night.

8:25 pm

8:25 pm

desperate???

8:25 pm

hede?

8:26 pm

She hasn't worked in years though, just volunteer work. He makes good money so she should be able to soak him :)

8:26 pm

ah - mistake

8:26 pm

ah - mistake, ru

8:27 pm

I don't like bars all that much to be honest

8:27 pm

You and Frank, but you knew what I meant.
