1:22 am

they're entered now, went out and back in

1:22 am

but that other night, it didn't work

1:23 am

perhaps the tantrum is settled

1:23 am

glad you got it fixed

1:23 am

tks, can be frustrating

1:24 am

yes it can be--not good for the blood pressure-lol

1:24 am

I've given up on babble a few times - always come back

1:25 am

weather has been stormy here and there and I think it plays apart in the trouble sometimes

1:25 am

perhaps

1:25 am

we've had great weather here lately

1:26 am

they had all kinds of storms on the radar yesterday and last night, but it missed us but did get it monday

1:27 am

we are in a cool spell right now but thats my kind of weather :)

1:29 am

easier to work when it's cooler

1:30 am

it is and everything else too-lol well maybe not getting into the river

1:32 am

I've never been swimming in the ocean here

1:33 am

I dont even know how to swim-------are you afraid to

1:34 am

no, it isn't that, just don't bother, we had a pool in Ontario - was nice to have a quick swim to cool down at night

1:35 am

I'm not much of a swimmer either

1:35 am

do you have to worry about sharks there

1:36 am

no, have never heard of any here

1:39 am

my brother was playing golf in Florida and there were aligators on the course

1:40 am

thats about as bad

1:40 am

would be enough to keep me off that course

1:40 am

lol, me too

1:41 am

Ive never tried golf but would like to I think

1:42 am

I didn't play enough to be any good, just enjoyed the peacefulness of the course

1:42 am

there are some pretty courses for sure

1:43 am

I dont know about being good at it either but driving the carts looks more fun-lol

1:43 am

yes

1:44 am

lol, used a cart when with my Dad but otherwise, walked

1:45 am

I dont guess they would like someone zooming about on the course-lol

1:46 am

no, that would be frowned upon

1:46 am

LOL---I figured as much

1:47 am

no loud voices either, mustn't interfere with someone's shot

1:47 am

I could see me and my pug with her goggles on having fun

1:48 am

well they wouldnt have to worry on that with me-lol

1:48 am

I have played croquet and I like that

1:49 am

we had that at my grandmother's

1:49 am

but its been awhile since Ive done that too

1:50 am

I always liked volleyball too and softball but dont do any of that stuffanymore

1:51 am

we had to play baseball at school, volleyball and basketball at high school

1:52 am

we did too and I played softball on a team for a factory I worked for as a teen and bowling too but was not good at bowling

1:54 am

ah, good for you, I did enjoy bowling - even had a trophy for high single game

1:54 am

we had a league at work

1:55 am

thats great flosey--do you still play

1:55 am

no, that was before I was married, haven't bowled since

1:56 am

thats too bad--your hubby dont like it

1:56 am

1:56 am

1:57 am

1:57 am

was he good at it

1:59 am

yes, has trophies, he played soccer at U

1:59 am

Glad your knee is holding out well.Nice and easy does it.Try and sit down when possible but I get the feeling they are starting to look at you as you were before the knee trouble and starting to give you lots of work. But only you know your limits.Hope you will tell them when you feel the pressure :-)

6:40 am

hi JBV

6:41 am

Annie - I just missed you yesterday - came in at the end of a conversation about swimming in ocean at Coney Island.... thought of you...

6:41 am

have you seen the latest cover of the New Yorker?

6:42 am

The latest copy I have is July 7 & 14 of the new WTC

6:42 am

here's a link: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/\nculture/2014/07/cover-story-mark-ulrik\nsen-coney-island.html#slide_ss_0=1

6:43 am

mine arrived in yesterday's mail

6:43 am

Then I didnt get the latest copy again...will probably be in the mail this week. I have a link to the archives. will look at it later.

6:43 am

i think the fact that the artist lives in San Francisco says it all

6:44 am

My favorite mag. Have a subscrip for about 50 years on and off. This time on for about 15 years.

6:45 am

Let's here it for The NewYorker

6:45 am

something just happened with my chatbox

6:45 am

I must have been in my early 20's when I read a story that made me fall off the sofa laughing. It was the first Woody Allen story published in the NYer

6:45 am

the text keeps on going past the right margin

6:45 am

any tech help out there?????

6:46 am

Woody Allen still contributes and you know who else

6:46 am

is very funny? Jesse Eisenberg, the young actor

6:46 am

... you may have simply made the display larger ... you might be at 125%

6:46 am

he has Woody Allen's weird sense of humor

6:46 am

I must go back and look for his name

6:46 am

Here is a tinyurl for that link: http://tinyurl.com/qy4nl5q

6:46 am

Oh, now I remember

6:48 am

If I open the magazine online I wind up reading the entire magazine .

6:48 am

My daughter thinks David Sedaris is very funny.

6:48 am

the babble server hates long urls or long test postings:(

6:49 am

The text will continue going past the right margin until the long link below clears the bottom of chat.

6:49 am

oh, sorry, Molly, I had no idea it was my fault!

6:49 am

will avoid that in the future

6:49 am

Great cover, bt I would not swim with my mouth open at Coney Island

6:49 am

David Sedaris - also one of my favorites

6:50 am

Not a problem, it usually flushes in a few minutes. : )

6:50 am

will be back in a bit

6:50 am

Good point Bich : D

6:50 am

that's why I said the fact that the artist

6:51 am

lives in san Francisco says it all

6:51 am

he has no idea

6:51 am

cute picture, though

6:51 am

Roz Chast is one of my favorites

6:52 am

oh, me too, she's brilliant

6:52 am

did you see the one she did about her parents?

6:52 am

funny but very touching

6:52 am

about moving to assisted living

6:53 am

It's strange how some people get that extended chat box and some do not

6:53 am

i'm typing short messages

6:53 am

to keep the chat moving

6:53 am

and "flush" out the problem : )

6:53 am

You are a good plumber : )

6:54 am

right, and all for free

6:54 am

in my next life, I think I'll become a plumber

6:54 am

Yes, that was a masterpiece JBV

6:54 am

speaking of Coney Island, it is now time for Crossy's tidbit of the day! Today I am featuring the most toxic body of water on the planets. Yes indeed. Just standing by this lake for longer than an hour will sign your death warrant!! http://tinyurl.com/crgzfz

6:54 am

more lucrative

6:56 am

crossy, have to cross it off my most wanted vacation destination list

6:56 am

7:10 am

7:10 am

I have to admit it was fun, and I liked his CIA sidekick. But, something out of the old mold

7:11 am

Jack MUST come back!!!

7:13 am

I would love a regular summer installment of 24. It's a nice break from all the re-runs.

7:14 am

We'll see. I never thought "The Killing" would come back, but it will be on Netflix next month

7:14 am

That would be good Molly. Is it on Netflix?

7:15 am

No, but it's on Amazon Prime and I have that.

8:54 am

good morning friends. It is an absolutely dreadful day here - downpour, thunder, the whole shebang. And I have outdoor concert tickets tonight, naturally....

8:55 am

thunder here too

8:56 am

bummer

8:56 am

I'm loving it - though I should probably turn off the pc

8:56 am

it was so cute this morning - I went out to my garage, and there was the sweetest little toad hanging out on a towel on the floor. NO ONE is enjoying the rain here, it seems

8:57 am

heh - MA weather is supposed to dry out this evening - you should be fine

8:58 am

latest report says not until at least 9....concert starts at 7:30. I don't mind getting wet, but the thought of the lightening is daunting.

8:58 am

yes - unless it's the electric light orchestra

8:58 am

or lightning hopkins

8:59 am

or thunderbolt newman

8:59 am

ooh I'm on a roll

8:59 am

nope - the bad boys from boston themselves, harry!

8:59 am

I am SO EXCITED!!! I love me some steven tyler, yes I do

9:00 am

dream on, trif

9:02 am

I figure the rain HAS to quit - it wouldn't DARE rain on the boys on their home turf, right?

9:02 am

can he still hit those high notes?

9:02 am

actually, I find the secret to being outside in the rain is to instantly embrace that you are going to get very, very wet. Trying to stay dry is pointless and futile. Get WET, then relax.

9:03 am

I never minded getting wet, as long as it's not chilly. But lightning - that's another story

9:03 am

I will let you know tomorrow. Mind you, if the lightening hits the mike stand, he will be singing in heaven

9:03 am

my favorite image is jerry garcia in a wild storm, standing on stage with his long silver hair blowing back

9:04 am

very,very cool. I have seen plenty of bands in the rain. Sometimes it's good, sometimes - not so much.

9:04 am

He can't hit those high notes any longer

9:05 am

he'll have to get a pinch-singer

9:05 am

poor thing....if he needs my help I will hop up there and help out

9:06 am

I have to organize so many things before we go! Tailgate food, ponchos, dry clothes, beer, try to find some other stuff for valentine, etc...but all in good fun

9:07 am

I hope you have a great time. Should be nice and cool, anyway

9:07 am

indeed.

9:08 am

this is when I love having a big vehicle - put the seats down in the back, spread out the picnic blanket, a few touch lights....very fun

9:11 am

I was thinking of trying to get tickets to the tedeschi trucks band - coming in december. They're already almost sold out!

9:18 am

12:16 pm

ty gwen

12:17 pm

37 left, bbl

any more afor-n i run away?

12:17 pm

same here -- did take french -- at the time I was school aged that was all that was offered here unless you wanted to take a 2nd language by correspondence. Most of us took French as a 2nd language was required for university entrance then.

counting down!

12:19 pm

I think a 2nd language should be required for high school graduation ---- it is downright embarrassing that our students are basically uneducated in language compared to their european counterparts.

agree, we should teach languages, but not in high school, by then it's much too late. they should be taught from age 4 to age 7, give or take

12:20 pm

starting in kindergarten, certainly

children can learn languages easily at that age. tons of research backs this us

12:21 pm

I was lucky, in NYC there was a special program in which I started French when I was 11, in 7th grade. Then two more years in HS, 2 in college and voila, now I am living here! lol

i studies german in high school for 3 years and came away with very little

12:22 pm

I couldn't speak much when we moved here, but my aural understanding was pretty good. Now I'm pretty much bi-lingual

but from singing in many languages, and from studing heraldry, i can sort of understand a little of many languages

12:22 pm

we lived in quebec when our daughter started school. She had french from grade 3 and was fluent by grade 5 --- then we moved and french wasn't offered until grade 9. By that time she had lost most of it.

sehr gut, rubyfoo!

12:23 pm

hmm, hat could that mean? lol, gwen

my third grade teacher was Mrs. Altschuler, and she was indeed, LOL

12:24 pm

From watching TV here and looking for films with Fr subtitles (husband is deaf, but can read French), I've picked upsome Germank and can tell what they're speaking about in several languages without really knowing with precision

12:25 pm

The key for me is that I don't translate, so can speak fast and understand

the part of the brain that understands a foreign lang is much easier to use than the part you need to speak a foreign lang

12:25 pm

I never got better than a C inFr in school, though. My teachers would spin in their graves.....

well, i'm off, unless anyone wants another cloooo

12:25 pm

hello

12:26 pm

I can't even reach half, so I give up

12:26 pm

Good night

12:26 pm

12:57 pm

i am looking for ne 4/5 from the top N on the 4th column?

12:59 pm

never mind i found it

12:59 pm

indeed not. everyone has enough issues of their own... the one related to tides?

12:59 pm

i have no idea what it means

12:59 pm

12:59 pm

yup.

1:00 pm

are you finished?

1:00 pm

ales

1:00 pm

oops

1:00 pm

34 to go. getting ready to list.

1:01 pm

i have 19 to go

1:02 pm

I came to a standstill earlier and left for an hour or so. *shrug* plenty of time to finish up.

1:02 pm

i caem ot a stand still earlier today as well .. havent gotten that much help from others but i mean that in a good way

1:03 pm

use morewords for some words as well

1:04 pm

that's my final resort but I don't hesitate to use it when I'm down to the last stragglers and my brain quits functioning... ~:o)

1:04 pm

my brain dies out on occasions too

1:05 pm

do you have either of the AN words?

1:05 pm

never mind

1:05 pm

nope. I'll look.

1:05 pm

yep.

1:06 pm

cut back to the left and up.

1:06 pm

i found it ty

1:06 pm

:)

1:06 pm

yvw.

1:07 pm

I usually have to list and that's when I realize that the singulars that I've typed didn't take but the plurals did, lol. I type too fast.

1:08 pm

somehow we miss one or the other

1:09 pm

and, of course, there are those that you saw "take" but didn't make it into the list after all...

1:09 pm

I know I'm not the only one that happens to.

1:10 pm

or you think you put the word in but didnt. i have found words that i entered and later entered them againi because they were not there

1:11 pm

exactly! it's probably just my internet lagging but there are definitely words that get the green bar but aren't there when I go to lickety.

1:14 pm

i think it has a mind of its own lol

1:14 pm

there is that. AI, doncha know.

1:15 pm

its never human error right?:0

1:16 pm

nope. that's my story, I'm sticking to it. 0:-P

1:16 pm

lol yeah right

1:17 pm

i swear i have had so many problems finding 4 and 5 letter words in the past few grids its ridiculous

1:18 pm

I feel your pain. Maybe it's babble overload?

1:19 pm

I get toward the end and *poof* my eye to brain coordination is gone.

1:20 pm

well, i am not on facebook much due to the fact that the computer was hacked from it it has major problems

1:21 pm

so i babble more now instead and because i do it more i get determined to finish as many as i can. I had 70 left from yesterday's but the smaller ones i dont finish at all

1:21 pm

and my husband doesnt want me on fb anyway coputer is very loud which is because of facebook but long before it got hacked

1:22 pm

Ugh! I don't like the small ones most of the time because there are an overabundance of words that aren't words, lol.

1:23 pm

amel and so much harder

1:24 pm

I haven't had problems with FB but I don't do much out there... pretty much lurk and occasionally share something I find humorous... I find it gets boring before too long.

1:24 pm

i comment like play games etc

1:25 pm

and chat

1:25 pm

YIM used to be my favorite messenger but then it got blocked (firewall) at work... (Yahoo, that is)

1:26 pm

do you have me 5/12?

1:26 pm

Now we have a DOD approved messenger but I keep having login problems... The brawl me***?

1:26 pm

i used to use yahoo and aol but i cant remember my secret stuff uggh

1:27 pm

oh it likes you does it?

1:28 pm

LOL! Probably not so much. But that keeps me out of trouble... somewhat... *halo*

1:28 pm

did you find the me5?

1:29 pm

halo? you wish lol

1:29 pm

no i havent found the me 5 yet unfortunately

1:29 pm

it's a brawl.

1:30 pm

can you break it down?

1:33 pm

me +a three letter word for a protected side of a building or cliff or some other large object that breaks the wind

1:33 pm

1:41 pm

1:41 pm

2:45 pm

howdy jes

2:47 pm

hey crossy, how goes?

2:48 pm

going well:) always something going on to keep me busy:)

2:49 pm

as long as it's busy and not overwhelmed :)

2:49 pm

I cannot do overwhelmed:(

2:49 pm

and you ? How are things with our resident babble vet?

2:50 pm

pretty good; the usual monthly arguing with clients about bills, got 7 raccoon babies to raise, had a heat stroke over the weekend, ya know how it is :)

2:51 pm

I owned a racoon once... never again

2:51 pm

though they trainv ery easily

2:51 pm

oh, these are not for pets, they will be released in the woods later this year

2:52 pm

the one i had would sell his soul for a bit of bacon

2:52 pm

he was later released as well

2:52 pm

I don't need pets that are smarter and more destructive than I am!

2:52 pm

that coon could open doors that even i could not get open!

2:53 pm

trained him to a litter box in 2 days

2:53 pm

but once his leg healed he wanted to move on

2:54 pm

well, they latrine naturally, so I imagine litter boxes would be easy to manage. But I've never tried - mine live in outside pens with trees and the rain until they're big enough to kick out.

2:55 pm

oh, they are super easy to train, but as you know they love the nighttime and chew on everything

2:55 pm

among the reasons that they stay outside and aren't pets :)

2:55 pm

as he got better, ours used to like to get on top of the fridge and pounce on peoples heads as they walked by

2:56 pm

dangerous. and not so good to let them get used to people and handling either.

2:56 pm

then one day he was walking well and we set it up so he spent more and more time outside and some pretty girl raccoon turned his head and he was off

2:57 pm

I know. they are never meant to be pets

2:57 pm

makes them less likely to do well when you release them, and more likely to get in trouble with an unsuspecting person in the future that thinks they're rabid because they're not scared.

2:57 pm

he was back where he belonged in less than a month

2:58 pm

we did not have the resources to do anything else and with him dragging he leg like that, it was best option at the time

2:59 pm

30 left and I just found the le4 that runs along the bottom row :(

3:00 pm

the one time we brought him to a vet.. $200,00 later!! we were told he must have fallen from a tree and hyperextended a few things in his leg and up into the shoulder and time would heal it. Since we could not afford to pay for vet storage time, we kept him till he could walk

3:00 pm

Hi Peri. Sometimes the obvious is so elusive. : )

3:00 pm

hi Molly, indeed

3:01 pm

i'm sure he appreciated it at the time, i just hope it didn't lead to issues with someone else later. I'm surprised the veterinary clinic didn't refer you to a rehabber, but maybe rules are different in canada.

3:01 pm

here, it's illegal for someone who's not a licensed rehabber to keep wildlife.

3:01 pm

but I did find the Hawaiian goose early on

3:01 pm

I do not know of any wildlife rehab centres here exept for one up north for large animals, bears, wolves etc

3:01 pm

What? Were there not a dozen "Hawaiian goose alerts"?

3:02 pm

I don't know. I did not see then

3:02 pm

them, even

3:02 pm

maybe at the flip.

3:02 pm

29left and stuck

3:03 pm

There are many odd words in this grid.

3:03 pm

Yeah, sometimes they're hard to find - I'm apparently the only person in several counties that will raise raccoons. But that just means Fish & Wildlife wants them transported to me, not that they approve of people raising them in house.

3:03 pm

and since i cannot get a bear to use a litter box, they get all my business for bear issues!

3:04 pm

(also, why I have so many)

3:04 pm

I wouldn't be surprised if a place that takes large predators would also take 'coons.

3:04 pm

bbs, need a snack

3:05 pm

I don't have the facilities for adult carnivores.... I'd have to pass bears on to the university

3:05 pm

well, the one time was 25 years ago. if it ever happens again, i shall research it

3:05 pm

and looks like my appointment is here, so off I go again.

3:05 pm

our wildlife sanctuary also has a moose with health issues

3:05 pm

tc jes

3:16 pm

I am back with homemade guacamole and pita chips

3:17 pm

down to 25 words. monkeys are being helpful for a change

3:17 pm

Peri loves her guacamole and chips

3:18 pm

I do. and I never buy the store bought any more

3:18 pm

Elbowing my way past Babblers to sit beside Peri & shaare chips n guacamole...

3:19 pm

haha, Soodle * passes guac and chips*

3:19 pm

Ta :-) Slurp!

3:23 pm

Ho hum. Break over. Back to cutting the grass. Thanks for the virtual snack, Peri.

3:30 pm

18 monkeys are very helpful today.

4:08 pm

*Considers hiring a swarthy lawn team for Soodle*

4:10 pm

Peri, I hate to break it to you, but there are no monkeys. Just your good imagination thinking of different ways to make words. : P

4:32 pm

The swarthier the better, Molly. I fought the lawn tonight, and the lawn won.

4:36 pm

AND! (on a trumpet blowing exercise), I made tomorrow's dinner, I wrote a snail mail letter to my elderly aunt, I painted my toe-nails (hat-tip to Peri) and I cleaned the oven.

4:38 pm

God bless you, you wrote a "real" letter. That is such a lost art form these days.

4:39 pm

She is a nun, Molls. She doesn't 'do' email.

4:41 pm

About 300 years ago, I got a caligraphy set. Whenever I write to her, I use it. Proper ink nice paper. I actually enjoy using it.

4:41 pm

No matter. I love words and I feel sad that people no longer care to write them in long hand. Or even on the internet. I mean, how hard it is to type out "take care" or "have a good day" to someone?

4:42 pm

Ah, nice paper. Stationary. I bet that is hard to find these days.

4:43 pm

Well (as usual, for me, there is an ulterior motive). Auntie Ella (the nun) prays for us non-stop. I like to keep on her good side.

4:43 pm

Ugh, stationery. See, it's so antiquated I forgot how to spell it.

4:46 pm

My kindred soul, John O'Donohue tells a story about a village elder that he asked "keep me in your prayers". The next time he saw her, she said "I have you every morning and every evening". His thought on that was "how nice that someone keeps you in the sanctuary of their spirit twice a day".

4:48 pm

i folks

4:49 pm

Hi folks

4:52 pm

Hi Bich

4:52 pm

Hi, all

4:52 pm

leaving for vacation tomorrow. We'e taking the granddaughter to California

4:52 pm

Hi Jax

4:53 pm

New specs are awful. I am going to have to go back to the optician and moan.

4:54 pm

After I have been to hospital tomorrow for eyedrops and sarcastic comments

4:58 pm

Hey Bich n Jaxx. :-)

4:58 pm

soodle!!!!!!

4:59 pm

I believe the dreaded meet up turned out quite positive, Jaxx? I seem to have missed ypu online...

5:00 pm

'You'

5:01 pm

Oh yes, this

5:01 pm

We have been interrogated by the SS (appropriate that) and the manager that wants this to be a child protection issue has visited Julie. She complained about the cupboard under the stairs being untidy, a computer being in the living room and the garden being overgrown so Ashley can't play in it!

5:03 pm

Then she decided that there should be a meeting with all parties to get Ashley designated as 'vulnerable' which is less serious than the other thing.

5:04 pm

Bichon, enjoy your family vacation. Children grow up all too quickly these days so make the most of it

5:04 pm

I guess following the Jimmy Saville & Rolf Harris thing all these 'professionals' are looking over their collective shoulders.

5:06 pm

Devon County Council was criticised for the quality of their child protection and there was a shake-up of managers. This woman is desperate to impress, apparently. I would rather she didn't do it with my family thank you

5:09 pm

Jaxx, at the end of the day, as long as the little person is in no danger, is cared for & loved, job done!

5:09 pm

I have mixed feelings about the historical abuse cases. I feel there is an element of cash grabbing in there somewhere.

5:10 pm

I totally agree, soodle, but I could do without the worry.

5:10 pm

back to the point of babble. I do not like this grid.

5:16 pm

An elderly temperamental lawn mower being coaxed & cajoled by an elderly temperamental lady can be exhausting. I'm banjaxed, & off to bed. G'night all.

5:20 pm

Night, soodle. Sleep well and I would have loved to be a fly in your garden! Thanks for being a pal

5:28 pm

Hello?

Hi harp.x

9:41 pm

I'm not here for long so you really do need to ask for clues, those here and lurkers, if you want them.

Not many takers for this! in fact, none.

need 4 to finish- fo5 and 3 fo6

9:47 pm

fo + 3/4 of baby cow

9:47 pm

fo + baby cow

9:47 pm

fo + 3/4 of baby cow + vowel

9:48 pm

Hi jimmel. fo5 describes a small pit or depression in a bone, fo 6 is the Latin plural and the next fo6 is the adjectival form, and the next a plural. fo6/36: fo + beef from male calves kept inside in the dark. This should give you the rest of the words.

9:49 pm

hey, jac :-)

9:50 pm

Hi Une.x How are you?

9:50 pm

ok, and you? :-)
