not at all Saan, they were out in the rain - grandson was playing with the stones in the driveway and a neighbouring dog came for a visit, she's a beauty - seems I'm stuck! does anyone have red boxes? this is strange

1:07 am

oh dear, so now it comes, sorry everyone

1:07 am

I've been having other problems with this site

1:08 am

its OK. darn red boxes. Usually they delete my comments but this time they multiplied yours!

1:09 am

I have problems on both firedox and safari. I don't think it is our problem - site wneeds a tweak

1:10 am

the other night a word was accepted but in both the tile and word stats it showed missing

I definitely think site needs some tweaks. I have problems on chome and on IE, too.

1:11 am

I remember that - did it refister on your rankings? Happened to me a year agoo and I got docked points

1:11 am

register

1:11 am

there's something strange there as well, Saan

1:12 am

some completed grids must not be registering

1:14 am

going to get ready for bed, bbs

1:15 am

night flosey, enjoy tomorrow

sleep well

1:21 am

just left to get ready for bed, so I don't wake hubby when I do leave this grid

lol sounds like me :)

1:25 am

is it me or are the a's and b's impossible?

pretty tough a's for sure... down to 3 b's

1:25 am

you are not alone

1:28 am

ok.. found some a's

1:31 am

did you get the as 8

1:31 am

I have all the a's now

1:31 am

need 5 b's

1:35 am

finished

well done, ru!!

1:37 am

hat's off - good job!

1:37 am

I am in awe, actually

1:37 am

*taps ruru on the shoulder*...BOO...right behind ya ruru!! WTG RURU!!

congrats, rose!

1:38 am

hi rose!

1:39 am

and congratulations! almost a photo- finish

1:39 am

thanx all, and g'day from me.

1:40 am

bye rose, enjoy the rest of your day

1:41 am

Beat her by a nose

1:42 am

you saying my nose is big, ruru??

1:42 am

Dunno....is it?

1:44 am

not the last time i looked, ruru....i actually finished about a minute after you. it is one sweet grid except for all those words finishing with ana. very disconcerting.

1:47 am

I had trouble with the ab words

1:47 am

What about when you tell a fib granny ...does the schnozz grow then?

1:49 am

fortunately no, ruru....but i blush something dreadful. i have to be truthful at all times otherwise my body gives the game away. it's an unfortunate thing, as i cannot even tell a 'white' lie to protect another's feeling's.

1:51 am

Bet you suck at poker :D

1:52 am

lolol...how did you guess? and othello...don can tell which move i am about to make, just by watching my face...think i'll wear my harlequin mask next time i play the game with him. * sigh *

1:53 am

and forget playing chess, he is always about 6 moves ahead of me...he is one clever man.

1:54 am

I used to be a good chess player

1:54 am

that is actually a good idea - the mask. see if your playing improves, nice experiment

1:55 am

falling asleep, off to bed, goodnight all

1:55 am

not that would also give you a huge advantage if you wore a creepy mask

1:55 am

I haven't played in years though

1:56 am

* giggle * saanichcat....can you picture it.....don, with full beard and moustache, and me, my gorgeous mask complete with feathers, hovering over a chess board.

1:56 am

good night flosey and have fun tomorrow!

1:56 am

I agree with saanich

1:56 am

oh, night, dear flosey. hope you have sweet dreams.

gn flosey

fireworks

1:58 am

Yay dee

1:58 am

great dee!

ty... eyes just wouldn't see the words :(

1:59 am

Some strange ana words

several strange words to me

2:00 am

WTG DEE!!!

ty, (((rose))))

2:01 am

okay, all you clever people out there in babble land. please explain this new discomfort i am experiencing.

2:02 am

What is that granny

2:02 am

i have had lo\wer back muscles spasming for 2 days. that has settled. now, although the skin is still numb, i have sharp, needle-like stinging just below my knee on the outer aspect.

torn meniscus?

2:03 am

the stinging is not continuous. it comes at irregular intervals. and it is really sharp.

2:04 am

oh, great! from falling the other night, maybe?

2:04 am

sounds like a nerve issue

2:04 am

That is from nerves near a bulging disc

sure could be... sounds like my hubby's first knee injury - his repair was a breeze

sure could be... sounds like my hubby's first knee injury - his repair was a breeze

2:05 am

Is there a burning sensation too gr?

2:06 am

Sounds like sciatica (sp?)

2:06 am

whatever it is please get it checked out - those things can get worse and sometimes an easy fix

2:06 am

no, ruru. just this sharp stinging below the skin. and as i said the skin is still quite numb.

2:06 am

its aliens. Bound to be.

2:07 am

have my regular check for knee in 2 weeks. and seeing physio tomorrow. will ask her first.

2:07 am

Lol

2:07 am

!!!

2:07 am

ROFLOLOL...dachef

have to be careful with physio, if it is a torn meniscus, you don't want to tear it further

2:08 am

*snort* dee....i am so over this *b* knee.

2:08 am

With artificial knees there isn't a meniscus

2:09 am

agreed dee, and rose can you get an ealier appt?

2:10 am

physio=hydro. won't do any exercises until i talk to the physio. deep water therapy may help...she noticed knee was darker than usual, and slightly more swollen.

2:10 am

and ruru...i still have my original knee-cap. so there could be some bursitis.

so sorry for all of these hurdles, rose...know you are sick of them

2:14 am

and you all must be tired of hearing about them. anytime you want me to shut up, just say so. no offense will be taken.

I think I speak for everyone; we are never tired of hearing your updates. We care about your progress and about you.

2:16 am

awww, you are so kind, dee. thanx.

2:17 am

Don't worry granny you won't hear the end of it from me when i get mine done. :D

yqw; ty :)

I cannot believe you have made it this long, ru.

2:18 am

*giggle* looking forward to it, ruru.

2:19 am

Hi all :)

2:19 am

ruru, i hope you feel comfortable enough to confide in me if things are too much to handle.

2:19 am

I am tough dee ...

2:19 am

whoot, whoot!!! g'day liz

2:20 am

Rose! How've you been?

apparently, ru

2:20 am

ruru, work a 10hour shift, on your feet, with only 2 x 10 minute breaks, and 1 x 30 minute meal break, and then be asked to work over-time.

2:21 am

liz, hun. will catch you up by email, or sprite can fill you in.which would you prefer.

well, I need to get going. Have a great eve / day all!

2:22 am

night, dearest dee. hope your night is filled with sweet sleep.

2:22 am

Sleep well,Dee

2:22 am

night Dee

2:23 am

Just read back a bit, rose!

2:23 am

2:23 am

Always good to hear from you, tho.

2:24 am

np's liz....feeling talkative...aka don....no, not really.

2:24 am

I am here

2:25 am

you are tough, mate. i acknowledge that...and i am just a woosy female...i know you couldn't do my job, as i could never do yours.

2:26 am

I do long events on my feet for hours...not every day though

2:30 am

I could never be a nurse or doctor though

2:34 am

good morning all :)

2:35 am

Hi and hugs sprite :)

2:35 am

And a good morning to you too sprite!

2:35 am

2:38 am

Thanks, sprite.

2:39 am

so close to banana today

2:40 am

On!

2:40 am

closer than you think......

2:40 am

That was meant to be pb! Auto correct!

2:40 am

oh dear. *shamefaced* Off to the PB with a ba6 in hand...

2:41 am

that autocorrect is maddening. I'd turn it off as soon as it reared its ugly head, I think.

2:41 am

I'll email you again later - change of number!

2:41 am

ok :)

2:42 am

I quite like it. At times it gives me words I haven't noticed!

2:42 am

lol

2:43 am

and hi Dachef :) Good to see you!

2:44 am

aloha. Lurking in background doing grid and blatantly procrastinating by spending ten minutes over each word because of...well...chores.

2:44 am

ahhhh chores. Bad stuff for the sunday. Procrastinating is called for.

2:45 am

Chores! Sunday stuff for me :(

2:45 am

must shop and cook soup today. I refuse to do anything else though.

2:46 am

Like the attitude :)

2:46 am

yup. got to. eight hour drive tomorrow for job interview. got to get stuff done today instead.

2:46 am

whoot!!! and here is the woman of the hour....well nearly...two more days....good morning, my darling sprite.

2:47 am

will keep my fingers crossed for you, Dachef!

2:47 am

Good luck with the interview Dachef

Unlurking to wish Dachef good luck with the interview

2:47 am

lol rose :) Yep, almost 48. Not a spring chicken anymore. Hello my darling *hug*

2:47 am

hi Chrissie :)

2:47 am

wow dachef...wtg mate. what does the job entail?

2:48 am

Hi Chrissie :)

2:48 am

ty all. Wasnt fishing tho!!

Hi all :)

2:48 am

we know. You caught us anyway ;)

2:48 am

hey ya chrissie. how are our two love birds? are they still talking, hun?

2:48 am

Like sprite said!

Don't know what lies ahead there rose :(

2:50 am

ugh, chrissie. i wish i could talk to them both. * sigh * it is too sad.

2:51 am

chrissie, do you think diane would be upset if i emailed her? i am trying so hard to not intrude.

Not at all rose, I'm sure she would be pleased to hear from you

2:52 am

when people hurt, they do silly things, alas

2:53 am

brb, have to email a young friend who has be4 admitted to hospital with pancreatitis.

2:53 am

ouch. That is not fun.

2:54 am

Nasty!

I'm obviously not going to say much here, but I am not being biased when I say this is 100 percent not her fault

And if he was here he would agree

2:56 am

makes the pain all the worse, probably

2:57 am

Stuff to do. Hope they sort stuff out, Chrissie. Hugs to all :)

2:57 am

Nail

2:57 am

Oops!

2:57 am

bye Liz, good luck with the chores and *hugs*

On a lighter note, can't believe ba6/27 is a real word. Thought it was slang and put it in to amuse myself

ty Liz

2:58 am

hm haven't found that one yet, it seems

2:59 am

oh lol! Indeed.

:)

3:00 am

back...i so wish worzel would connect to us. he must be so confused...

You have the biggest heart of anyone I have ever "met" rose

3:02 am

dutch for pineapple is in the grid: ananas. Not valid though.

3:03 am

xoxox chrissie

3:04 am

sprite, ananas is the generic term in english, so not valid as it starts with an upper case letter

3:05 am

ah lol, cool. They took that from the dutch then.

3:05 am

lolol, so not going there, sprite.

3:06 am

?

Excited here as hubby has been on a motorbike trip round Scotland for the last week and is coming home today :)

3:06 am

oh how lovely, Chrissie! Both the time for yourself and the being reunited :)

lol, so true sprite. Have loved it really

3:08 am

I think it is healthy, now and again

3:08 am

sprite, the jury is still out on which came first, the generic term for pineapple or the dutch term for pineapple. personally, i don't think i mind.

3:09 am

whoa, chrissie, your hubby a biker too?

3:09 am

hm let me check, lol

....how can I miss you if you won't go away.....

3:10 am

DON'T YOU DARE!!! sprite. but then again, i won't argue.

3:10 am

chrissie, do you ever ride pillion?

3:10 am

true, Chrissie!

3:12 am

yep, found it. From the Tupi-Guarani words na4 and anana. Through Spain and England brought to us dumb dutchies, grin.

3:12 am

i finally gave in....took the oxycodone( fast release) for that stinging in my knee. some what settled...finally.

3:12 am

you know me, rose, I like to know. I love random facts like that.

3:13 am

dutchies are never dumb...and i love a dutchie...xoxox

3:13 am

poor rose. Your knee must have felt the lack of not being in today's grid, lol.

Yes rose. Hubby, daughter and sil all bikers. Afraid it's not for me though

fai n

3:14 am

hi Nanette

3:14 am

aaahhh, chrissie. being a part of that bikie culture is so a apart of me. i loooove it!! not the touchie/feelie part though. now that gets my hackles up!!

Trying to put a picture of his bike up, but so slow on the ipad

Whoah, what touchy feely part - thought he was just riding for the joy of the road, lol

3:15 am

unwritten rule of bikies...anyone who wants to pillion behind a biker, she had better have that biker's missus permission.

3:15 am

uh-oh, rose!

Picture loaded upside down!

It's a honda goldwing 1500

3:17 am

lolol! INdeed it has. Nice red though.

3:17 am

oh, dear. chrissie...my hubby is a part of a couple of bikie clubs. the "ladies" in those clubs think it is okay to snug up to my hubby, in front of me.

3:18 am

I bet you changed their minds about that, rose

...sharp intake of breath....

Brazen hussies

3:20 am

what does don do when that happens?

Changing icon again...

Picture of daughter on her bike now

3:22 am

lol, sprite, he stands there and takes to hug....and has the grace to look abashed when i give him the "LOOK"

3:22 am

roflol

Can just imagine it rose

3:24 am

SOOOO..... chrissie.....get on the back of that darn bike, and join in with your hubby's other love.

Why are my pictures loading upside down, grrrr

3:25 am

lololol...because they look better that way?

I do think about trying it rose, but really doesn't appeal,to me

3:25 am

no idea, never happened to me, lol

3:26 am

chrissie, the adrenaline rush is amazing...and you can see so much more from the back of a bike, than in a car.

3:27 am

besides a goldwing is like sitting in an armchair.

3:29 am

now if you were on the back of a moto guzzi california...you would understand what i feel.

3:30 am

start with the armchair, chrissie, lol

3:30 am

don's moto guzzi is more powerful than my car...which gives me so many chuckles.

Call from hubby, now facetime from daughter, bbl

3:35 am

bye Chrissie, have a good one

3:38 am

later chrissie. xoxox

3:41 am

am gonna try and get son to get groceries for me today... hurting too much to do it myself. Keep fingers crossed...

3:49 am

awww, gentle hugs ruby. you are surrounded with love here, darling

3:50 am

pugs??? what happened??

3:50 am

love and PAPERS! And too uch worry

3:51 am

I went out walking and before I left I left my cig. case on the trunk of my car so I could sit out when I came back. While I was gone some people stopped and ask about rental houses in the area and stole that case--lol

3:51 am

oh dear. What an assholes, pugs.

3:51 am

that is nasty! Maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't be smoking

3:51 am

ugh...what mean people!! and who told you that, pugs?

3:52 am

it wasent of much value except to me but it had gradyn's teething marks in the leather and his first time helpingme paint---but the gall of them

3:52 am

was biting my tongue not to say that, ruby, lol

3:52 am

told me what Rose

3:53 am

bad nel!

3:53 am

But Pugs knows I care

3:53 am

pugs, who told you about the people who stopped and asked about rental homes in the area?

3:54 am

I do Ruby and I care about you and your life too

3:54 am

my sister and W--who talked to them

3:56 am

I even waved at them as they passed me--:(

3:56 am

not that i am a cynic but W ?? your sister is an innocent. i would be asking W about your cigarette case. of course he will deny it. just another example of how mean he is.

3:56 am

funny, was thinking the same thing, rose

3:57 am

He said it was on the trunk where I left it--no, I really think those people took it--

3:58 am

yup, sister of my soul. btw...i am extending an apology to the cyber bully re loss of our connection with babble and flickr.

3:58 am

either way, it sucks, pugs. Am sorry. Especially for the memories attached to it.

3:58 am

lol rose, don't apologise. If booh lee had thought about it, he'd done it ;)

3:59 am

I know--I have had it for years and its not worth much as far as value

3:59 am

pugs...then i am so sorry for the loss of such an important piece of memorabilia.

3:59 am

did you see my email that drG is looking into it? My guess is it is something no longer working between internet explorer and flickr.

4:00 am

I didnt

4:01 am

Is your back feeling better Rose

4:01 am

I think I only sent it to rose and zooz, pugs, since we were talking about it a couple of days back. Sorry. I wrote to drGod and he said he'd see what he could find out.

4:02 am

btw, I had another beautiful day yesterday with family constellations.

4:03 am

Nice, Sprite--how is zoom doing

4:03 am

zooz was fine :) I think he is off to booth sales with his parents today.

4:04 am

fireflies. Those biggies were doozies... needed a2z to find them.

4:05 am

pugs, back better. but i now have a sharp pain (like a needle being stuck in ) in my knee. it has settled with the fast relief oxycodone.

4:05 am

indeed pugs but I would like to see a firework or 2 lol

4:28 am

and dinner is here...cyl8r. xoxox

4:29 am

okay Rose, enjoy

4:29 am

by roseee be well

4:30 am

ok be good all glad to see you and hope to see u soon

4:31 am

Hugs Pink--take care

5:20 am

and pink is gone?? pugs?? you still here, darling??

5:20 am

good morning dear friends...wow, another big grid!

5:21 am

g'day trif...lovely to see you, hun

5:21 am

and you as well granny

5:21 am

I am having some visitors from Perth in a couple of weeks - so excited!!!

5:22 am

i am so good...all pain has subsided...sooo good.

5:22 am

whoot, trif. family or friends?

5:23 am

hmmm. used to be family, now friends? it's my ex brother and sister in law, and their daughter, who I guess is still my niece

5:24 am

My ex husband lives 20 minutes away. the fact that HIS brother is flying half way around the world and staying with ME should tell you quite a lot.

5:24 am

*giggle* trif. lovely. my ex's family are so obnoxious...wouldn't want them as friends. i envy you.

5:25 am

my oldest daughter did a semester in Australia when she was a sophomore and lived with them. I am DELIGHTED to host them here in an even small repayment for all they did for her

5:25 am

yeah, trif. in my case, my ex died 2 years ago of brain cancer. it devastated our boys..

5:26 am

oh, I am sorry to hear that news, for your boys' sake

5:27 am

trif...you must be delighted that your daughter can be so comfortable in their company.

5:27 am

they are lovely people, particularly my sister in law

5:29 am

they are on their way to France for a summer holiday with the other brother and his family, and routed the trip this way to stop in for a week. now - how to decide what to do?

5:29 am

I mean, sight seeing wise

5:29 am

yeah...i try so hard to not let my ex influence my judgement on his family. i stand well back when my son's make their decisions re their father's family.

5:29 am

I am very, very lucky in that regard, they have been completely supportive of me.

5:30 am

trif...what have they seen already? and what do you think will give them the most pleasure?

5:31 am

I figure I will get in lots of brochures, info about local sites, etc...and then let them choose. One day is taken up with a big party we are throwing for my daughter's recent graduation. She is SO EXCITED to have them here for it.

5:32 am

and I suppose at least one day will be dedicated to jet lag recovery for their girl, who is ten. Can't just pour coffee down her!

5:32 am

yes, you are so fortunate, trif. my ex's family completely abandoned me after 17 years of marriage. AND they knew/witnessed what their son was capable of doing.

5:33 am

in this case, they have pretty much abandoned him. which I suspect is EXACTLY what his husband wants - cast off any attachment to his old life, so that the new one dominates

5:33 am

* giggle * yes, you do have to let them all recover.

5:35 am

oh, trif. my heart goes out to you, darling. my husband's wife left him for another woman. it is too sad.

5:35 am

my niece is SO CUTE. I don't know what it is about little kids with accents, but they just knock me out

5:37 am

omgoodness, just found a HIGHLY amusing ba6.27!!! can't believe enable takes that one!

5:44 am

good morning everyone:)

5:45 am

ty for the ba 6/ 27 to start out with, trif:)

5:48 am

and heeeereees crossy!!~ g'day mate

5:50 am

howdy ((rose))

5:51 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!! this is an 8 minute home-made video clip of a group of people rescuing a young whale from an old , abandoned fishermans's net, and of how a young whale says thank-you. http://tinyurl.com/pyuztya

5:52 am

darn typo:(

5:53 am

morning all- ty Trif for that ba - got it right off :-)

5:55 am

howdy, wolvie

5:57 am

crossy, love you are in the grid today!

6:00 am

i am!! yaaa for crossie!

6:00 am

indeed

6:01 am

means I have a get out of PB free card today

6:01 am

I say "yaaa for crossie" at least once a day! All babblers do :

6:01 am

:))

6:01 am

thanx crossy...such a shame that these magnificent creatures have to be subjected to such atroceties.

6:02 am

and g'day to you wolvie!!

6:03 am

It also shows how a few people who care can make a difference.

6:04 am

crossy that is one great video. :-)

6:04 am

thier little girl will remember that day forever:)

6:05 am

:-)

6:05 am

I need to go forage for food...brb

6:05 am

hope you find exactly what you need, trif. lolol

6:08 am

today for brekkies is buttermilk pancakes with lemon and sugar, or strwawberry preserves, or with some of our very own Grade 1 light syrup

6:08 am

strawberry

6:09 am

nice crossy- i am having a summer squash/fontina frittata in a bit. waiting for everyone else to wake up lol

6:09 am

picked the first tomato of the season today. so happy :-)

6:10 am

that will be a side dish lol

6:10 am

*pulls up chair to crossy's table** lemon and sugar please, mate.

6:10 am

sounds good as well, wolvie

6:11 am

i am in heavy veggy mode now- signed up for a CSA as well as what i get out of my garden- i have been living on kale lol

6:12 am

but i am open to a new experience.

6:12 am

rose- you certainly seem to be one to go for the gusto- i like that :-)

6:12 am

I used to get the lemon and sugar on mine as a child, but you would be surprised at how many people have never heard of it and look at me like i am mad when i eat them like that in a restaurant

6:14 am

*giggle* wolvie....food is a life-long experiment to me.

6:14 am

food is a hobby to me:)

6:14 am

I will make bacon pancakes next time around

6:15 am

hobby/experiment...all the same to me...roflolool

6:15 am

i love to cook- bake- anything in that line- a lot of fun :-)

6:15 am

crossy- do you still go to facebook??

6:15 am

I made breakfast muffins the other day:)

6:16 am

sorry, wolvie, but no. I no longer use FB

6:16 am

bacon pancakes...*sigh*...okay, since you force me to eat them....i wlll be brave..

6:16 am

okay- i found a bacon recipe i think you would love- from food and wine- i can try and post the url here but i am not good at the tiny thing lol

6:17 am

been almost a year now since I have unplugged "big brother"

6:17 am

lol rose

6:17 am

you are brave indeed, rose lol

6:17 am

crossy if i didnt play a couple of games i would not be there either.

6:19 am

and now it is after 9pm... *sigh* i must bid you all a fond farewell. xoxox

6:20 am

nite rose- have a good evening :-)

6:20 am

I was big into Gardens of Time, but thier privacy and information sharing polocies became too much.

6:20 am

tc rose and have a good night

6:21 am

policies

6:21 am

nite wolvie and crossy. i hope your days/nights are kind to you. xoxox

Night rose, sweet dreams

6:21 am

i hear that- i am very careful about that stuff

6:21 am

I felt not so much as a fb user, but a product for them to use and sell at a whim

6:21 am

hi Chrissie

6:22 am

true crossy- but i think all community gathering spots are pretty much like that- sigh

Just popped in for a few words between boring housework, many thanks for the whale clip crossy

6:22 am

last i looked, for example, they have a right to use any picture you post in any way they desire

Hi Wolvie

6:22 am

I am glad you enjoyed it chrissie

Drying my tears and diving into the grid :)

6:24 am

you are probably right, wovie. Site owners love revenue, and if it means using us as ad revenue to suppor the cost of a "free" site, then that is what they will do

6:25 am

well, did not mean to make you teary, chrissie. it is a happy story of a whale saved:)

6:26 am

stats for the second c?? i have you already crossy lol.

6:26 am

:))

Happy tears, so beautiful to see the whale's obvious joy to be alive

6:26 am

nm- just found it lol- easy one too

6:27 am

i am often called a cr5/12 cr/5/12

6:27 am

lol

6:28 am

I thnk they said that young whale put on a show for them for 40 minutes afterwards:)

6:40 am

Morning all, happ0y Sunday

6:40 am

howdy, sukee:)

6:41 am

morning sukee

6:41 am

taking a break - off to make that frittata :-)

6:42 am

How is the grid so far?

6:42 am

my son has an hour to get his lazy arse out of bed, then I am doing pancakes, with or without him.

6:42 am

I am only 50 words in, sukee, but it is ok..so far

6:43 am

:)

6:43 am

ask me again in another 50 words;)

6:43 am

Pancakes sounds good

it seems hard to me

6:46 am

Well, I now have 73 words and I am slowing down :)

6:46 am

hi all.. crossie, I saved the link for the video.. appropriate one as whales are in the grid!

6:46 am

i am 71 in now

6:46 am

yaaa for whales!

6:47 am

Haven't seen them yet

6:48 am

they are swimming on the right

6:49 am

I am going through all the whale names i know and am looking...

6:50 am

Working on the right column

6:51 am

general term, starts with o

i think there is a mixup between killer whales and lord of the rings monsters here

6:51 am

h'mm, could be

6:52 am

will check

6:52 am

cannot see the whale yet..:(

6:53 am

or4.5 does indeed refer to marine mammals

6:53 am

You find that one quite frequently in Babble

6:54 am

oh that one. got that ages ago

6:54 am

I also think of that as more LOTR than marine life

6:54 am

lol, sorry to send you on a wild whale chase, crossie

6:54 am

Me too :)

6:55 am

as my video shows, any whale chase is worthwhile:)

6:56 am

gm, everyone. stats for the E first column third row?

6:57 am

Haven't started on them yet

6:58 am

7:03 am

7:03 am

Can't believe I almost missed that fruit

7:05 am

well, 100 words in, sukee and still ok, but i think the wall is coming up soon:(

7:06 am

kind of a strange grid for me, bc I had a hard time getting started and then it became easier.. maybe the coffee helped, lol

7:07 am

I need to add some more words to my book then perhaps it will all flow better. One seems to compliment the other:)

7:07 am

usually it is the opposity way

i just started makin stuff upa nd that seems to be helping

7:07 am

hi joseph.. are you new to Babble? welcome

kind of new

7:08 am

when I am down to the last 50 words, joseph, I just let my cat walk back and forth across they keyboard. he does well more often than not:)

what do you do if your allergic to cats

7:09 am

stand back from the desk and throw peanuts at the keys

7:09 am

try a hamster?

7:09 am

yes, a hamster or guinea pig will work in a pinch as well

7:10 am

dogs do not work, however as all they keep spelling is cookie!

ha

7:12 am

well.. fw ! anyone need a clue before I scoot?

7:13 am

yaaa for aloy! no ty, aloy, still early going for me here. i must put in some sweat equity yet.

7:14 am

tis a fun grid once the brain kicks in.. enjoy! Have a wonderful Sunday.. poof

7:25 am

whoo hoooo Aloy!

7:26 am

Hit that wall with 134 to go. Breakfast time

7:33 am

the fabled "wall" is fast approaching for me as well

7:36 am

is this grid better then yesterday's?

7:40 am

hello?

7:42 am

it is ok so far, MLF, but I am 108 words in, and slowing

7:42 am

i just started so i only have 33 at the moment

7:43 am

so, I would say you have no worries till 150 or so, though many babblers found it easy. I am not playing at that skill level, however;(

7:44 am

i am not at their leveil either

7:48 am

cross do you have the first column E stats?

8:11 am

8:12 am

I did not even want to attempt it until I have had another tea. Well done, bubba:)

8:13 am

Plus my mind just finished burping up a hot chapter that had to be put to paper:)

8:14 am

eructating

8:14 am

well, to digital paper that is.

8:15 am

I shall have to remember that one, o-o

8:15 am

i got it ty bubba

8:15 am

yw

8:16 am

though I try to keep the language in my tales for the everyman/woman and avoid the "ten-dollar words as Hemingway was wont to say:)

8:18 am

((crossy)) you're kind of in the grid today! Though I agree one must speak to the masses when writing, I still think it's awful we must constantly "dumb it down" in both written and spoken language all the time now. No one seems to care about being literate or articulate anymore. :(

8:19 am

you are correct, Mimi, but it must be done. people just give up on your story if you make them run to a dictionary every 5 minutes.

8:20 am

I do understand. It just aggravates me that every time I read ANYTHING now, no matter what it is, there is always either a typo or incorrect grammar.

8:21 am

When i edit, I go though and simplify complex portions and remove any weak or passive portions to aid in ease of readability

8:21 am

I've always believed a culture's use of language says a lot about that culture...what is this now saying about us?

8:21 am

....that we have become lazy and indifferent.

8:22 am

Now when we go back and read the classics such as David Copperfield , we must almost retrain our minds to follow along:(

8:22 am

thanks to morewords i just got ab 6 7 7

8:23 am

All three of my children feel this way about language as well so I have now produced another generation that is totally anal about the use of language!

8:23 am

I only get anal when i get to my final draft for editing.

8:23 am

ab5?

8:24 am

Amen Mimi. I blame the internet and all the ridiculous made up words people use because of it for most of that.

8:24 am

never mind

8:24 am

ab + ---mentary school is the lower grades :-)

8:25 am

Dean Koontz has book out now that is such a pleasure to read called "Innocence." His use of language is nothing short of melodic and I can't remember the last time I read something so beautifully written.

8:27 am

I used to think of Koontz as 'Stephen King lite" a book to eat up while on a bus or a road trip , something that can be breezed through with little effort. However, I have grown to enjoy his style of writing and have several of his books in my bkkcase.

8:28 am

bookcase

8:28 am

Mimi, have read all his books and loved "Innocence"

8:29 am

Did you know that he was severely abused as a child by his step father

8:29 am

I don't read nearly as much as I'd like anymore. My eyes are just exhausted after transcribing all day. I have a vacation coming up week after next and plan to catch up...what a treat.

8:29 am

The first three I read of his were given to me as a gift: Strangers, Watchers and Whispers.

8:29 am

I usually listen to audio tapes lately on my IPod

8:30 am

I love listening to audio books in the car

8:30 am

No, I didn't know that bichon...kind of adds a lot more meaning to Innocence, doesn't it? I can see now how the pain he expressed about the character's father was so authentic.

8:30 am

rule #1 : Write what you know.

8:31 am

He certainly is prolific. He comes out with at least two books a year spanning decades

8:32 am

I'm certainly doing that with my book since I'm writing about my life experience. It's daunting, though, writing about the really painful times. Important to do so, though, since pain is at least as relevant to who we become as happiness and success.

8:32 am

i have the cr 5 with the double cons can anyone help with the other 5 please?

8:33 am

I will now read more of his work. Which ones do you especially recommend, bichon and crossy?

8:33 am

He does what other authors do and "bank" books. In a good year, they may write 5-10 books, but the contract may only demand two books a year, so the good writers will store them like nuts and compensate for off-years.

8:33 am

let me check my bookcase, mimi. one sec...

8:34 am

I have one by him waiting for me called From The corner of His Eye.

8:34 am

looks good

Change the vowel mlf for the other cr5

8:35 am

How wonderful to be so prolific with writing. I'm a good writer but cannot seem to be disciplined enough to produce.

8:35 am

ah ty and hello angelina

Yw and hi

8:36 am

an 7 clue please?

8:36 am

definitely read Intensity . . . O M G . . . both print and audiobook . . . one of the best books of suspense I have EVER read . . .

8:37 am

Thanks, Une...appreciate the suggestion. Will put it at the top of my list.

8:37 am

With this novel I am writing now, mimi, I find the key is to do some each and every day. A writing mind is very much like a muscle, and must be trained and used every single day. Even if it is only 50 or 100 words, as long as you get something down each and every day.

8:39 am

It is like grains of sand on a beach; one at a time they are nothing, but before you know it they combine and you have something resembling a novel

8:39 am

I've always been very weird about writing, crossy, and still wake up in the middle of the night and must write down thoughts/ideas. They actually make sense the next day, too!

Not sure if there is more than one but the one I have is an + two letter ** the extra terrestrial + dig a ***e in the ground

8:39 am

for example, at my current pace of 500-1000 words a day my book will be done in rough draft by christmass

8:40 am

i had a poem/story in my head not long ago and never wrote it down.. cant remember any of it to save my life unfortunately

8:40 am

yes, angel, there are 2 an8's

8:40 am

I'm hoping to get a lot of writing done during my upcoming break. I need to get this book written as so many have expressed an interest in reading it. I think of it as my legacy so future generations of my family will really know who I was.

That was for an 7. I have two an8s thanks.

8:41 am

ok :-)

8:41 am

i dont understand the two letters part?

8:41 am

alien, mlf

Abbreviation for extra terrestrial

8:42 am

Oh, no, ML...how frustrating. That's why I keep a tablet with me at all times so I can jot down ideas as they happen. Pulling then together later can be a challenge, however!

8:42 am

a + federer hits the ball over the *** + void

8:42 am

ah got it

8:42 am

an 8/45 that was

8:42 am

It is funny, Mimi, once you get into it, you novel becomes a place of welcome and salvation from the trials of day-to-day life. You are god within those pages and have full control..for the most part. Tales do take on a life of their own however, and even i do not know when it will end, just that when it is fined, then it will be done.

8:42 am

mimi and sometimes i just dont know when to stop lol

Take the vowel off at the end

8:43 am

finished*

8:43 am

ah ty again angel

Yw mlf

8:44 am

I have found it is much easier for me to write fiction than this autobiography. Obviously don't have the same kind of "license" when writing about real events and people.

8:45 am

Yes, fiction is much easier

8:45 am

I wrote a segment recently that had tears rolling down my cheeks and filled me with so much remembrance that it was painful all over again. Difficult but necessary to write about it, though.

8:45 am

there is less structure involved and you are not restrained. I do keep a concordance hoever, as i must keep the timeline of things in order.

8:46 am

however*

8:47 am

There are too many cases of otherwise talented authors using a song in their books what was not written in real like until decades after the timeline in the story lol

8:48 am

that* life**

8:49 am

The painful experiences of my life will be the most valuable for others to read because I can show that it is possible to overcome extreme pain and hardship and illustrate how I was able to do so. Aloy convinced me this was something I should do and spurred me on. I was feeling weird about writing about myself...seemed a bit egotistical and indulgent until she explained the benefits to me.

8:52 am

It is a rare person who will put forward the rough times in their life as a lesson for the rest of us to help overcome the trials in our own lives. It is well we have people like you, mimi, who are willing to share their experiences to help others.

8:53 am

Thank you so much, crossy...it means so much to me that you feel that way.

8:54 am

Once it is finished, my life will truly be an open book!

8:55 am

crossy has his yellow highlighter ready to mark the juicy bits!

8:55 am

You'll need more than one, crossy...promise!

8:56 am

oh my! Is this book to be sold in shrink-wrap and placed on the top shelf?

8:57 am

LOL...nope...only salacious by inference.

8:57 am

you tease..

8:58 am

Yes...I do...it's part of my "charm." :)

8:59 am

Need breakfast and then to work for me. Have a good Sunday, everyone, and hugs all around.

9:00 am

i will be back..i think?

9:00 am

poof

9:02 am

tc mimi and mlf

9:02 am

I will be here for a few yet as i find my work flows better when i break for a few babble words

9:04 am

finito

9:05 am

yaa for bubba!!!

9:10 am

hi all. need clue for the 9 please.

9:14 am

hmm, hard word to clue. Start with Vowel in top middle, go right to left then down to second letter in alphabet. then kind of work your way back to the middle and it is a plural . Sorry if this doesnt help

9:15 am

ty uncagain. i get the first four letters and am trying the rest

9:16 am

lol, it is a word I have not seen before, so I cant even give you a synonym

9:16 am

does it go to third line as well?

9:17 am

yep, and even dips momentarily into the fourth

9:17 am

ok will keep monkenying

9:18 am

I got it, thank Unc....I looked it up..it's an algae, not that that is much help

9:18 am

If you get the nine, you will have the 8 as well

9:19 am

if it helps, the an 9 and 10 are a type of freshwater algae

9:19 am

an + first 2 letters of the alphabet + common latin ending + lowest point is the **dir

9:19 am

nm, annie said that already:)

9:19 am

that's the an8, then plural it

9:20 am

crossy go for more tea..

9:22 am

mkg, did you get an 8 and 9 ?

9:23 am

Good morning, all! Ty for the An8/9, Annie. That was driving me nutso.

Grant...I too am on the South shore!

9:35 am

Well I must apologise as though no fault of my own, i am gleefully tearing apart a portion of your city for my book. it was not planned, it just happened that way:)

9:35 am

No worries! Tear away!

9:35 am

Are you Trif's relative?

9:35 am

9:36 am

Yes I am! Her sister.

9:36 am

good morning all

9:36 am

howdy,teach

9:36 am

Hope that's not your manifesto, Crossy.

9:36 am

She and I made the Norwell connection a while back

9:36 am

Hello WV

9:36 am

hello car

9:37 am

Nice! Are you nearby (you don't need to disclose town if you choose not to)

9:37 am

nope, just for pretend, judi:)

9:38 am

the bridge itself is quite safe, as long as they finish the renovations:)

9:38 am

My son is just about to leave for camp for the first time...I am trying not to be a mess.

9:38 am

*Imagines 50 foot woman stomping Longfellow bridge, picking I-beams out of her toenails*

9:39 am

9:39 am

9:49 am

boats are kept at a ma****

9:49 am

yw wvt

9:50 am

ohhh got it ty

9:50 am

yw

9:52 am

OK...got him off to camp without crying in front of him.

9:52 am

How long will he be at camp?

9:52 am

1 week

9:53 am

that's a good start, hard to let go of little ones

9:53 am

He is a very sensitive one too, so it was better that I not go to drop him off.

9:55 am

car. you will turn around and he will be coming home. my older grandson loved camp (now a CIT) and my younger grandson hated it. So who knows?

9:56 am

I hated it when I was a kid, so I am hoping he loves it.

9:56 am

The week will go quickly I hope for both of you.

9:56 am

He is there with his best bud, so it should be good.

9:57 am

All the weeks go by too quickly....

9:57 am

H's are greyed. going to watch the NASCAR race poof

9:57 am

car. Then all will be well. He will have a very good time.

9:58 am

I loved camp and I went with friends so it was easier on me.

9:58 am

My older grand went alone and loved it.

9:58 am

I would be terribly homesick, cry and count the days until I could go home.

9:58 am

car. did you go for longer than a week?

9:59 am

Not at first. And then I would like it and want to stay.

10:00 am

So you see, and that will happen with your son.

10:00 am

But I did not tell him any of this. I want it to be his own experience.

10:00 am

I have loads of stuff to do today so I will leave it at 100 words to find and be back later.

10:00 am

Ty for your advice Annie. HAGD

10:01 am

car. If you told him he probably would not like it at first and cry so better he has his own experience as you say. and now I poof

10:02 am

But he is with his best bud and that's great. bye for now.

10:13 am

Good day for all.

10:14 am

And TO all.

10:14 am

hello scrabbs

10:15 am

Hi youse guys

10:15 am

hello bichon

10:15 am

Nice weekend here in the Northeast

10:15 am

Hi Bichon

10:16 am

I am staying home today instead of going to see my mom again. I need a day to myself here in the woods.

10:16 am

beautiful weekend here - a little cool but can always add layers for outside

10:16 am

I don't mind being cool in July

10:17 am

enjoy the day for yourself

10:17 am

Especially after the week we had last week

10:17 am

I was on call 5 nights in 8 days, went to see my mother on the other 3 days.

10:17 am

went to an outdoor concert last night up on the ridge and had to put on several layers, but it was a great evening

10:18 am

Hope you're enjoying a day off toady

10:18 am

I like the cool nights.

10:19 am

certainly has cooled the house down

10:24 am

weather has been great here as well. i am quite content to have a summer of 15-20c. howdy scrabby:)

10:25 am

t-shirt and shorts in the day and maybe a light jacket just in case at night. perfect

10:26 am

Hi Crossy. Your name is in the grid!

10:26 am

it is indeed! :)

10:26 am

One of my first words. :-)

10:27 am

was a good morning for my manuscript as well. The words flowed like water and I have a count of 3000 words for the day and can stop now if i wish:)

10:30 am

Good for you.

10:30 am

my name in the grid gives me a all-day get out of pb free card:)

10:31 am

I slept til 10. I have been unproductive thus far, except for finding 83 words and reading the newspaper.

10:31 am

well, you deserve it after your on-call stint.

10:32 am

I stayed up reading til 1.

10:32 am

I started waking up at 05:30 because my mind started going right after bladder o'clock lol. The day is mostly shot for me now. it is all downhill from here:0

10:33 am

My bladder lasts 7 hrs overnight.

10:33 am

No hiking or paddling today?

10:33 am

you care fortunate. i seem to get 4-6 hours

10:33 am

A hike is on the schedule for later today

10:34 am

But I ate watermelon last evening so I had to get up 3 times, haha.

10:34 am

small one this time 3k

10:34 am

I will mountain bike in the woods, and take breaks to snack and read. Perfect day.

10:35 am

sounds ideal:) our day packs are already and sitting by the door;)

10:36 am

I am leaving for the Adirondacks 1 wk from today, as long as my mother remains stable. She is already expressing fear of me going, although she lives with my brother, my sister lives a mile away, and I have a cousin and 2 nephews nearby. Guilt trip.

10:37 am

I am resurrecting a old kitchen knife for my day pack. Has a razor sharp blade and a full tang, but the wooden handle rotted away so i am making a new grip by wrapping paracord around the tang and repurpose it instead of throwing it out

10:37 am

I desperately want my two Adirondack vacations this summer. I work for those.

10:37 am

well, the others are close. they can have a turn

10:37 am

Good for you, Crossy.

10:38 am

It should not be you all the time

10:38 am

She feels better when more people are around her.

10:38 am

even caregivers need a break

10:39 am

you will be no good to her if you cannot recharge your own batteries from time to time

10:40 am

But she is only thinking of herself right now.

10:40 am

well, you must thing of what is best...for both of you.

10:41 am

I am sure your brother and sister will manage for a week or so while you are away

10:41 am

and DO not bring a cell phone!

10:42 am

break out the old silva compass and the top maps;)

10:42 am

topo*

10:42 am

I am getting excited now, reading the trail map. Last year we made a wrong turn due to a downed sign. We ended up hiking 4.5 miles to a river rather than 3 miles to a pond. Still fun, but it was 90 degrees, humid, and dominated by mosquitoes.

10:43 am

No cell phone coverage there, so we will call home twice daily from the lodge.

10:43 am

good

11:03 am

Some of us were talking about the movie "Nights in Rodanthe" the other day. Just wanted to inform that it's playing today on the Lifetime channel at 3 pm Eastern time. Let's watch and have a good cry!! Back to work for me.

11:23 am

It usually works :D

11:23 am

periocity?

11:23 am

11:23 am

The state of being like Peri and finding a word as soon as you say you don't see it.

11:24 am

hah Molls, I like it

11:24 am

I know someone who eats those things on crackers, gross.

11:25 am

with raw onions as well?

11:25 am

I like those little fishes, I mash them up with a little mayo, onions and celery and make a sandwich

11:25 am

No raw onions, but if I suggested it, he would go for it.

11:26 am

lots of omega 3 in them

11:26 am

I'll get my omega 3 from salmon, thank you. : D

11:26 am

ok then

11:27 am

peri I would have one if you made it, but I wouldn't make one for myself - does that make sense?

11:27 am

I usually don't mind the smell of fish, but those things stink up the whole house.

11:27 am

not really saani

11:28 am

they don't smell up this house

11:28 am

anyway, diving back into the grid

11:28 am

11:28 am

1:03 pm

Oh, how unpleasant of me, I forgot my xoxox

1:03 pm

hi une!

1:03 pm

I did.. I was rooting for Roger.. a sad ending.. he just fell apart at the end.. Novac poured it on outta nowhere

1:03 pm

yeah, me too . . . excellent match . . .

1:03 pm

I thought Roger was taking control of the match

1:03 pm

he was for awhile for sure . . .

1:04 pm

I loved that he stole the 4th set

1:04 pm

I know!!! :-)

1:05 pm

It is so hard for him to win now against the two best in the world.. this is really the best tennis the world has ever seen

1:05 pm

'tis indeed

1:06 pm

I really was hoping he'd break Novac and pull it out and win

1:07 pm

looked like it was a definite possibility there for awhile . . .

1:08 pm

I think the back breaker was that passing shot (back hand) when Roger was at the net

1:08 pm

it is so impossible to do that shot.. in that narrow of a window

1:09 pm

it's just amazing how effortless Roger makes it look . . .

1:09 pm

he only had like 2 inches to hit through

1:09 pm

60 days until football season starts!!!!

1:09 pm

LOL

1:09 pm

I have already worked it into my book, cybernan!

1:41 pm

lol, crossy

1:43 pm

" The an 8/50 algae grew thickly upon the stone foundations that upheld the old bridge, though from a fishes eye view, it seemed that plant life and not concrete held the massive structure above the waves"

1:44 pm

there ya go.. thing of beauty

1:44 pm

brought a tear to me eye:)

1:45 pm

well done ;-)

1:46 pm

I thought so. I am sure the resonance of it all will ring out down the ages.

1:46 pm

will have to put babble in my reference page i am sure:)

1:50 pm

sigh.. writing is like gathering and processing maple syrup. You take thousands of buckets of back breaking rough material to end up with a mere pint of sweetness:( so much for my 3000 words of this morning;(

2:15 pm

200 down -- time for a break - back after lunch :-)

2:18 pm

Crossy...am sending you a portion of my book and, if you don't mind, would appreciate your feedback. If that's OK, check your email shortly.

2:20 pm

it is no problem at all, mimi. I am honored to be allowed to have a peek.

2:21 pm

I want a male perspective and you're the only one I can think of whose opinion and reaction I believe I can trust. Sending it now. Thanks.

2:22 pm

do, you wish peer editing and readability critique, or just my overall thoughts on it?

2:22 pm

<---sits in group of other pissed off Males

2:22 pm

:D

2:23 pm

When the time comes, ruru, i shall send you the first chapter of mine, ok? lol

2:25 pm

penmonkeys such as us are more comfortable offering up our blood, sweat and tears to each other at first. we can compare battle scars.:)... and show each other our one week AA chips:)

2:26 pm

penmonkeys?

2:27 pm

stole that term from another author.. we are all thieves as well as drunks..:)

2:27 pm

So true, crossy. Feel free to give whatever comments you want. Just sent it.

2:28 pm

actually if you love to write and hope to publish, check out the works of the man who uses that term : Chuck Wendig. he is very good.

2:28 pm

i have two an8's and a ba 8 what are the two i am missing?

2:29 pm

Ruru...don't be offended. Crossy is also an author and, as such, provides a unique perspective.

2:29 pm

will take a break now, mimi, and give it a read..bbs

2:35 pm

2:37 pm

2:44 pm

Thanks so much, dear.

2:45 pm

They had to cancel the rest of my NASCAR race today:(

2:47 pm

just found a sn7

2:49 pm

It should be hitting your in-box about now, Mimi:)

2:50 pm

rained out, MLF?

2:50 pm

yes startnig last night the canceled it completely

2:52 pm

toda they got some laps in and two major crashes and stopping for rain twice before 3pm when the rain was coming down the hardest so they canceled but had an unofficial winner. I dont know if the person was in the lead or if it was by points. It was his first win

2:53 pm

a unsatisfactory win at best, I am sure.

2:53 pm

Excellent suggestions, crossy...thanks. I sent the first draft so you've saved me time in editing!

2:54 pm

cross its just not right no one should have one but they probably could not do the race again so thats probably why they do it that way

2:54 pm

I just automatically edit. it is ingrained into me now. If you just want feedback and nothing more, let me know :)

2:54 pm

it had been raining since friday in florida. the two races before this one were cut short as well. I didnt watch those

2:56 pm

I'm exactly the same way. I definitely want both and that is what you provided. I appreciate it. Leaving now to finish up work. Hugs to all.

2:57 pm

now, just another 79, 500 words and you are done your book mimi!! :)

2:57 pm

lol

2:57 pm

4:04 pm

My colleague that I worked with, her son started to play in the early years of this century but the phase passed.

4:06 pm

wow bichon

4:06 pm

Tim was born in 1975

4:07 pm

i dont know if anybody plays it now

4:07 pm

I don't think they do, mlf

4:07 pm

4:07 pm

they play online. They are called Role Play Games or RPG for short. Anything male plays them

4:08 pm

A lot of D&D'ers are involved in Innerworld Interactive Theater

4:08 pm

Things we have loved and lost, eh?

4:08 pm

bugs its online to play?

4:08 pm

jaxx its sad and i am older then you lol

4:08 pm

We have a comic shop in nearby town that has some figures. Not my style but the display was eye-catching

4:09 pm

the figures were cool.. what i saw of them

4:09 pm

Sure but not called D & D anymore. They have the same theme where you are a hero with powers and fight against all kinds of dangers

4:09 pm

Are you older than I? I will be 69 this december

4:09 pm

There are many females that play role playing games too. : )

4:10 pm

Did you Molly?

4:10 pm

Do you, molly?

4:10 pm

4:10 pm

this is true molly

4:10 pm

i think d&d was mostly boys though

4:10 pm

Don't apologise - be glad. lol

4:10 pm

Not me, that stuff seems kind of obsessive to me.

4:11 pm

i was too young when my siblings were playing it to probably understand most of it

4:11 pm

So, instead, you Babble

4:11 pm

dont they have trading cards for that?

4:11 pm

Now that is obsessive

4:12 pm

Babble as the ultimate form of obsession

4:12 pm

bichon yes and even here the convo goes over my head sometimes lol

4:13 pm

agreed bichon. i do this instead of fb not sure that is good or bad but when a smal puzzle comes up i do other things instead

4:13 pm

I just know Tim used to play it and we bought him figures for Christmas and birthdays. I have no idea how to play it.

4:13 pm

i dont know either

4:13 pm

Facebook can be a mixed blessing

4:14 pm

jaxx yes it can

4:14 pm

I don't spend much time on it. Just to see if anyone I know has done anything interesting that I'd like to comment on. I don't usually post anything myself

4:14 pm

Depends how you use it. There is a good side and an unpleasant side

4:15 pm

I wouldn't put playing Babble or other word games in the same category as playing role playing games, but that's just me.

4:15 pm

help with first ba5 pls

4:15 pm

i was hacked so i dont use it much and if hubby sees me on it he would go through the roof even though he doesnt understand what happend.

4:15 pm

I use it mainly to bug my favourite nephew about his use of bad language

4:16 pm

lol jaxx

4:16 pm

Babble is obsessive in a different way

4:16 pm

Peri, past tense of what a sheep says

4:16 pm

ty Molly

4:16 pm

It also helps to keep the brain active, what my late mother called mental gymnastics. Use it or lose it

4:18 pm

agreed jaxx

4:19 pm

Molly, Jack Bauer is in the grid

4:19 pm

Plus the other babblers are a pleasnt crowd to chat to

4:21 pm

Very pleasant and very caring

4:22 pm

Indeed

4:25 pm

speaking of active brains i just found a few more L words i probably should have had sooner then this

4:26 pm

never mind, you have them now

4:26 pm

maybe some more brain cells just woke up?:)

4:26 pm

Jack Bauer is the most ba6/27 ba6/27 there is : D

4:28 pm

Doubly good clue, molly

4:30 pm

People can say what they will about Breaking Bad and The Sopranos, for my money, 24 was the best thing on television and I'm loving it's reprise.

4:31 pm

I haven't seen either series but I have seen 24. It is good

4:33 pm

i have seen scenes from breaking bad and the sopranos. i dont watch 24

4:37 pm

4:38 pm

Molly, I'm not crazy about it. It's better than the last season of "24".

4:38 pm

i used to watch Weeds

4:39 pm

I think "The Wire" was the best thing on TV

4:39 pm

Now - Idris Elba....

4:40 pm

Yes, and many others. A couple of the cast went on to "Treme"

4:40 pm

ty!

4:40 pm

It's so funny thinking of Idris Elba playing an inner city gangsta

4:40 pm

I'm impressed that you found that, pen! it is a doozy

4:40 pm

4:41 pm

I think of all the great British actors in American movies and TV who can do an American accent. But I don't see American actors doing a British accent

4:46 pm

Why would they?

4:47 pm

First BE 6/27 clue please?

4:47 pm

I don't think American can speak with a British accent

4:47 pm

bichon some can some can't

4:47 pm

Usually the Brit is the 'baddie' so they need not alter their accent

4:48 pm

i saw kate winselt in a move where she had an American accent it was perfect. Dr House same thing

4:48 pm

but he is scottish i think but did an American accent on tv

4:48 pm

Bich, my very favorite 24 scene is in the last season. Where Jack goes into the underpass, all dressed in a flak suit and a black helmet and mask and Charles Logan looks like he's about to mess himself.

4:49 pm

I don't remember much from the last season. I'll have to look it up. It was Season 8, right?

4:50 pm

I don't think too many American actors play parts in British shows, but a lot of British actors (Hugh Laurie) play American characters.

4:50 pm

Yes, Season 8...aka...Jack Gets Revenge

4:50 pm

Charles Logan was the best thing about the later "24" seasons

4:51 pm

Only one i know of is the improv show that drew carey used to host

4:51 pm

How are things with you?

5:51 pm

And Pen :-)

5:51 pm

hi jaxx

5:51 pm

hi soodle

5:55 pm

Yeah. Good enough here. My work colleague just phoned me to inform me he won €4,120 on the lottery. I almost strangled myself trying to be enthusiastic for him. In fact, I am jealous in the extreme.

5:55 pm

Your lottery win will be bigger, soodle. Just be patient

5:57 pm

€4,120 would fill a gap right now, Jaxx. And this guy is 43. Still lives at home with his parents!!!! The injustice of it!

5:59 pm

We won £2750 on the Eurolottery just as we would have been broke. Someone looked after us and will look after you too.

6:00 pm

Now, tomorrow, I'm going to have to be all happy clappy for him, when I actually feel like mugging him! Sheesh.

6:00 pm

Oooh Jaxx. That was a lovely win.

6:01 pm

Be nice now. What goes around comes around remember. It will be your turn soon. Did you not know that I am psychic?

6:02 pm

Nooooo..... Tell me more...

6:03 pm

I know who is phoning before I answer the phone. I have to be careful what I think or it will happen. Can be quite scary. I have now spoken, soodle. A lottery win will come your way, promise

6:05 pm

Whoa!! BRING IT ON!

6:06 pm

Very interesting, jaxx. I have a daughter who is like that. I don't have that intuition....tho I do have visitors now and then.....the dogs can see them, not I.

6:08 pm

When you are grateful for the abundance of others it lets the Universe know that you will be grateful for your own abundance. So say the wise ones.

6:08 pm

When my son died, i heard a knocking all around the walls of the room I was sitting in. He always used to joke when he was alive that I was a witch. I loved programmes like Ghost Adventures and he used to tease me about the tapping that went on

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

Guess who leaned on the Enter key

6:08 pm

And now there is a ghost in the chat log.

6:09 pm

um...like that tapping??

6:09 pm

Jaxx, I'm off to bed now. I just watched Shirley Valentine on TV. Between the movie & your prediction, I just know I'll have good dreams.

6:09 pm

LOL molly

6:10 pm

Good, Soodle. No need to wish you sweet dreams then. Sleep well and see you later

6:10 pm

Puts on Carpenter's music

6:10 pm

Sweet dreams, SOODLE.

6:10 pm

Molly. I'm a begrudger. Always was.

6:11 pm

No, soodle, it makes you human.

6:11 pm

No grudges but begrudges, I'll make a note of that.

6:11 pm

Need a nap. bbl SOODLE, so good to talk with you again.

6:13 pm

peach, dogs are very aware of the presences in a home. I don't have a dog now but I once had a terrier who knew when my husband was coming up the path. He was a fisherman and every day the time was different but the dog always knew.

6:14 pm

Night, peach. Sweet dreams to you too.

6:15 pm

I am going to have to give up myself now. Bye all

6:20 pm

bye!

6:21 pm

Oh dear, now who will predict what will happen next? : O

6:23 pm

I can get in touch with my psychic abilities molly

6:23 pm

6:27 pm

Wow, you're good

6:28 pm

I predict that R Kelly is going to get R-rested

6:28 pm

I can tell who's calling too before I pick up the phone

6:29 pm

Well, so can I but I'm not psychic, it's just caller ID : )

6:29 pm

that helps

6:30 pm

I wonder if Soodle will be flabbergasted when she wins 5 dollars in the lottery. I mean, it's "a lottery win" after all.

6:31 pm

maybe 5 pounds?

6:31 pm

Or euros or pounduros or whatever.

6:32 pm

pounduro is sex while speaking Spanish.. I didn't know it was currency

6:32 pm

It is if you work the block

6:34 pm

you mean pound the pavement?

6:36 pm

Well yeah, unless you're one of those high dollar/pound/euro girls

6:37 pm

don't they name them after Indian smoking devices

6:38 pm

Like Snookah?

6:38 pm

Hookah

6:38 pm

But she is definitely not a high dollar girl

6:38 pm

Snookah is on Jersey Shore isn't she?

6:39 pm

Yes, but it was pointed out to me here that she is not from Jersey.

6:40 pm

oh.. really

6:40 pm

I saw some doofus called "the Situation" from that show.. he's from Jersey isn't he?

6:41 pm

Yes, but apparently he is another New Yorker posing as a Jerseyite

6:41 pm

some comedy central roast of Donald Trump

6:41 pm

oh.. mmmm

6:44 pm

I've never quite gotten the appeal of Jersey Shore

6:46 pm

I haven't really seen an episode other than a quick channel surfing thing like the kardashians

6:46 pm

I don't really get the appeal of these "reality TV shows" to be honest

6:46 pm

cape may is nice

6:47 pm

I've only been to Jersey City

6:48 pm

didn't care for it much

6:48 pm

Cape May is beautiful. So is Stone Harbor.

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

6:51 pm
