Me too.. I can't think of anything else they ever did
magic carpet ride was a fave of mine
magic carpet ride
ah.. there's another one..
hi five, g! :)
Sounds familiar
~~hi five~~ rbud
I think I saw them in concert at the Fillmore when I was a kid.. but I was so stoned I don't remember the songs
So you enjoyed the night then?
I guess I did
;)
I remember the lead singer mostly
they played with another great band.. too like big brother and the holding company
okay, i have one last saturday chore to do....be back in about 10. ttfn to anyone who leaves. xoxox
Saturday?
oh yeah
sorry
you can do my Friday chores if you want to skip saturday's
Not only Saturday but late afternoon!
wow
I'll swap your Friday chores for my Sunday ones!
no wonder all you aussies are ahead of me
Well not that late - 4.25pm
BBL to find the final 15 words
and i am back. anyone still here?
tise a99 3g
flosey, wake up sweetie. the cat's walking on the keyboard again....lol
yup, did it again
*giggle*
should go to bed while I'm sleepy
sleep well, dear friend. you have earned your rest
good morning all
whoot!!! and here she is!!! {{hugs}} and * smooch*
:D hello dear friend. How are you today?
i have been waiting and waiting...
awwwww I am not very late, am I? For a saturday?
no bigs probs. back went into spasm while i was ironing....so i stopped that pronto. and you my darling?
no, you're not late...everybody left early...waaahhhh!!! and flosey fell asleep at the keyboard....AGAIN!
glad you stopped straight away. You are being good to yourself, aren't you. Good for you! I am fine.
and the rest of the fambily?? still being nice??
* b * was intentional...feel like being silly today...lolol.
very :) Rob is away with canoe club this weekend, so it is a bit taxing for me. But I intend to let the kids do the shopping. The kids, of course, are still asleep, as teenagers should be.
oh, and heard from sir joso...all is fine and dandy with him.
ah wonderful! Am so glad. Give him a big *hug* from the sprite.
oh, and sprite, today was one out of a band-box. all the washing hung outside, and brought in dry. and my king alfred daffodils have stalk over 2 fe4 long. i have never se4 them that long.
and...nd...and my first tulip has started to put out leaves...i am so excited...
omg that sounds so beautiful. And yayyy on the laundry. Isn't it lovely as all goes as planned?
good strong tulips :)
*wriggles with excitement* and the grape hyacinths are about to flower, and the freesias are flowering...gosh!! i love spring almost as much as i love autumn...lolol
I love grape hyacinths. So cute. And freesias... maybe even one of the most beautiful flowers ever. Your garden sounds wonderful, rose.
still waiting for my double frilly daffs to flower though...:-(
maybe they are just late
sprite??? you don't have a garden do you? you live in an apartment/flat?
no, we have a house. And a garden. Only, my darling husband has taken over about all of it with canoes, wood and his sea container that he uses as a workshed.
oh, their leaves are up, and the flower stalks are about 6" long....just really slow. and the jonquils that the cockatoos shredded have put out new flower stalks...little buggers.
the cockies, not the jonquils...lol
wow imagine having cockatoos in one's garden.
hold it!!! stop that imagination right there!!they are the most destructive birds around.
hey, they would be allowed some wrecking just for the pleasure of watching them. We don't have anything like that here. Sparrows, blackbirds, thta kind of stuff.
when i lived in a more rural area, the little so-and-so's ate all the wood from around a neighbours windows. they only found out when their windows fell out of their frames.
oh lol! What a shock.
very breezy that's for sure...lol
so practical for the mailman too
oh, and sprite...don and i went to a chemist warehouse a few days ago...i found 2 perfumes out of my teen and something twenty years...charlie and blue grass. i just had to buy a bottle of each....lol,
awwww that is so sweet! I have a little bottle of charlie sitting here on my desk.
* giggle * about the mailman
wow!! in my teens i had a pot of the cream scented with charlie. it lasted for ages.
yes it does. It is a lovely smell. Nowadays, I prefer Cristobal though.
i tried both on , and both smelled fine on me still. so with the green tea perfume, it now gives me a choice...
that is a true pleasure, and it comes back every day
yeah, i am loving it...
I have to say, most days I go without nowadays. I love the Cristobal. And for special occasions the Angel, in tiny amounts. That is another amazing perfume that is so overused, in frequency and amount, by others, that it loses its splendour.
and we found the david beckham after-shave/ eau-de-cologne for don.
ah lovely. Goodsmelling people
well it does counter-act.....nope...better to leave that unsaid...lolol
oh! :D
not really....but better to be safe
how are you going with the grid?
86 left
being bugged silly by peseta. Loving the fact that my protagonist of my ptsd story is in here... petisse.
*she says sniggering* having occupied sprite's attention for most of the time she has been here...lololol
roflol and a good thing it is too. Love having my attention focused on you.
love having it....
*giggle* when i read your post at 3:28, after my question...i did read being bugged by pests...
:) my day is not complete with a bit of rose in my morning
sprite, my dearest...are you ready to share your sto9ry with me...re petisse? please email if that is more appropriate.
lol :D Nope, pests are in the grid. Peseta is a phantom and I keep seeing it, and trying it. Madness.
petisse is coming along pretty nicely. Am trying to write a symbolic story that should give insight in how ptsd works inside a person.
*joins sprite in the PB * here sweetie, a glass of you favourite. *snuggles down for a cuddle*
*wraps rose in arms and hugs her*
*loving the hug* i can actually feel it, sweetie.
ok, that does it. I just tried petesa... and I have the P greyed out since halfway point.
oh rose, just a couple of months and we can do it for real! Prepare to be hugged around the clock, lol.
roflolol...poor sprite....no more p words, okay?
No. More. P. Words. You got it.
you too, sprite...but we may have a problem...
which would be?
there will be a puglet trying to get in too.
hey, I want to hug puglet just as much. I foresee a lot of group hugs.
omg, le4 than a year....
yes :D
no matter what...i will be there...
and so will puglet...
am looking forward to it so much
you and me both, dear....it is going to be so much fun....
absolutely. And we will make lots of pictures and ask Don to make us heaps, and we will make photo album books of it in triplicate so we can look back and re-live the wonderful times.
pugs is being so strong, isn't she? i am praying for her....and you of course...every night.
sprite...there will be many wonderful times together...not just next year...
yes, me too. Every day. She is amazing. And she doesn't realise it herself. Such power and strength, and perseverance.
oh rose, if that could be true!
sprite....what will be, will be. and if the man upstairs wills it...it will be...lolol
true, dat. We'll give him every reason to, lol.
i have to ask....any chance you can organise the time away to visit ruby when we do? discounting the cost....
annency will never be the same...
not easily, rose. It is a full day by train, just to get there. Or by car, same. And flying there would be quicker, but we would be spending most of two days on airports then.
hmmm, i think we will have to start very soon...if all 4 of us are to be in the same place of the planet together.
ruby cannot leave burt...so the three of us will have to be in annency at the same time...
i looove logic problems...
yeah, I hear you, sweetie. Just telling it honestly as it is. It would be a huge chunk out of our time. Would cost about half of it.
sprite...please disregard the cost. closer to the time...or even in the next few months...i will contact you.
can't we do it at the end of our time together then? First spend our 10 days in the netherlands and then travel on? Just an idea.
i am hearing you...will consult with don...it depends on the tours available in france.
I can tell already that even planning it all will be a lot of pleasure.
and there's fireflies
i am trying to think of puglet...she has a lot of travelling to do...
WTG SPRITE!!!!
yes. We'll think of the best way to put it all together. We have time.
yes we do, dearest. will keep you in the loop.
lololllll ok this was so funny. Overheard a conversation in the street downstairs. A guy walks past with a white thingy on the top of his head. A lady walking her dog asks: "Turned Jewish?" "No, had a brick fall on my head."
oh, my...lolol
such a random convo, grin. No doubt they know eachother and all.
I bet he wished he had converted to the Jewish faith, in stead of getting hit by that brick.
yeah...i bet too
like the last time i saw my youngest son who has grown a prolific dark beard...i asked him...where did you leave your camel? he was very gracious, and laughed.
lolol :D
all three men *sons* have dark facial hair.
not bad at all
*likes her men and her coffee dark*
sprite, i know you don't watch the ne4...but the latest killings are so totally not necessary.
killings hardly ever are
*giggle* like my coffee like my man, hot, strong, sweet and white...
hm I don't like my coffee sweet, and I don't insist on a white man. But hot and strong... yeah.
lolol, yeah sprite....
and big. Don't forget big. :D
as in tall and powerful, not fat.
oooh, yeah...big...
lolol...no problems with fat....
nope me neither. Just not a requisite.
don't forget don has been on steroids to help himwith his asthma.
* him with *
darling, trust me, Rob and I aren't slim either. You will get us the way we are... allllll of it.
ditto, sprite...allll of us are coming to see you.
:D :D We will have to make sure we don't flatten our pug!
lololol...yeah...she will probably be the skinniest of all of us.
*thought* our pugs will probably be very delighted with us flattening her...
yes she will be. But Caya and Tim are just perfect, so she won't feel the odd one out.
oh yes :D I think so too. Omg am gonna hug you both until you squeal!
and i am gonna hug the both of you until you squeak...lololol
:D
oh... an idea... in our days with just the 3 of us in a cottage... we could play the transformation game.
oh!!!! sounds interesting!
yes it is. You start with formulating a question about your life. And then you go check out your path on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It kinda works like an oracle. It is both fun and rewarding.
annnnnnd... I have the game in english! It wasn't available in dutch yet when I bought it. So that is great. Provenance. Or something like that.
oooh...looking forward to it...
me too. we are gonna have such an amazing time. I can't wait. Will start checking out places to stay next week. Perhaps visit a few B&Bs.
nice, sprite...please check out costs and availibilities
will do and I will let you know, darling. Should be doable. Because of the Zaanse Schans, where lots of windmills are, this is a touristy area. So there are bound to be lots of good places.
and perhaps email me???
yes, I will put what I learn in email
okay, you need to be checking out doubles and singles,
yep, for 3 people.
when i last emailed pugs....she was checking out residential institutions for her sister.
yes, she is going to travel to one promising one on the 27th. I pray it is what it promises to be.
yeah, i saw that too. i am praying that it is worth-while for her sister.
both for her and for her sister's sake, I hope it works out.
pugs so needs to be freed from her obligations. i wish her family would pick up the support of pug's sister.
yes, it is becoming too much for one person, however dedicated she is.
okay....need to get night time meds ready...and dinner is in the oven.
I have to be going, darling. *hugs* and enjoy your dinner.
may you all have a blessed day and a peaceful evening!
WTG SPRITE!!! hope your day blesses you, darling.
yummy...ravioli bolognese with parmesan cheese....looking towards seconds...lolol

Changed by icon. Doctor Who returns today :)
lol - nice
I still see kitty-cat Takes time to refresh itself sometimes
I haven't had kitty for over a week
I had another one in between
ahh , I refresh and now see the good dr.
I'm so glad he is my age :)
Been so long since I have seen an episode of Dr. Who that I can only relate to him as that fella with the big hat and scarft from the 70,s
from the far left e- i have en 4/5 and ee 4/4- what is the 3rd one??
Yes, Tom Baker. I have been a fan of the show since the beginning and I look forward to it.
i plan on watching the new one again- has been awhile

en6, please?
fies
en + small land mass in water
en plus landlet
thanks
ty Molly
used to get him on channel 17 , the old public broadcast channel here. you would get things like dr who, antiques roadshow, Coronation Street and Magic Shadows
Yep, I remember all those shows
Now you have to pay for the channel with SPACE. But, I am going to watch it online through the BBC today and I have bought the season on iTunes. No, not obsessed at all :)
:-)
free here- at least- i will see on the bbc channel
I tried to add SPACE back to my cable yesterday and they told me I would have to take a package that doubles my monthly bill. I passed.
I wish BBC Canada had Doctor Who, I have that one.
ouch
that really sucks how they differ country to country lol
What is for breakfast today Crossy?
Anyway, I have a add on on my browser that allows me to watch BBC One online.
that is why i cancelled cable. All the channels I wanted were in "Extra" packages
we8, the last one, please?
Not sure yet, sukee. I am still brewing tea and trying to come to life
I know mine will include reheated baked beans, turkey back bacon (better than it sounds), an egg and toast :)
The basic pack plus one pack to get discovery, the learning channel etc was costing me 100 a month
you had me till turkey bacon
i dont even have a first we 8 lol
will have to look
bu, good lord!! See the price of real bacon now. It has been $6 a pound for 3 months now then suddenly they all came out with 375g packs for 499(the old packs were 500g)
hardly enough for one person at 375 g
i actually dont know what i am paying for bacon- how sad is that lol. will have to check. i just found some - finally- that is really great so that is what i buy
sadly we are counting pennies here in the great White North:)
lol, actually have to change that since we no longer make pennies!
I try to get coupons for things like bacon and coffee, not always easy :)
oh i didnt mean it that way lol- i dont buy a lot of bacon normally- but it is BLT season :D
it is always BLT season...
i am overloaded with tomatoes from my garden at the moment- nice problem to have
;-)
I try to limit myself to bacon every other month.
Real bacon.
mmm, lots of home-made spaghetti sauces...
I am like the Yoda of bacon " there is either bacon or no bacon, turkey there is none"
Back bacon is usually a bit cheaper
i dont buy packaged bacon- i buy from a butcher shop. :-) going to make my own soon- getting some pork belly- which is going for 5 bucks a pound even at whole foods and going to cure it. :-)
lol
or Canadian bacon to our US friends :)
yes, I shall have to hunt down the peameal/back bacon as a temporary substitute
used to love canadian bacon- saw lots of it when i was growing up in Michigan- ate my fair share as well :D
*Frying potatoes and onions in bacon fat as this conversation goes on*(
mmmm@ home -cured bacon
yum molly !
Oh, and I will also have hash browns with my breakfast.
now I am hungry
I got all my work done so I can have an entire day off today.... time to celebrate :)
yeah- made all kinds of sausage last fall- now it is on to bacon :D
niceee!
Getting my groceries delivered, got some treats to sit down and watch Doctor Who.
I would love to get a meat grinder and make my own sausage and ground beef. It's on my wish list.
I am on countdown. 9 days till first class begins. My beloved is also going back:)

also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of iron coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion.
neat eh? :)
I used to collect old ti7's from second hand stores. Some of them are very interesting
fan----ti* (metal) and another way of writing letters
MLF, if you do a Google image search on ti7, you will get an idea of what it means
as well as daguerreotypes
I have photographs of my grandfather and my Dad like that

at 8:17
EN 6?

Wow...nice grid! Good morning babbleworld!

good morning jilly
hi jilly
Morning, everyone!
hello teach and MLF!
LE6?
I see our favorite salamander is in the grid again!
... the person who rents an appartment
dose huh?
i need some help i want to get into my email and my password isnt working and the answers to the questions are nor working either
le4/4 plus double vowel, ML
the person taking out a lease
Salamander?
((mimi))
Yep...ne4 & 5.
As is our Hawaiian bird
got it ty
((Jilly)) Haven't been here with you in a long time! Good to see you!
((ruru)) Good to see you, too!
It's been busy at work and only babbling once or twice a week..
A ne4 isn't a salamander
... but for the purposes of babble he's close enough
Wow he is in Africa. Sorry you are right
Yes it is, dear...look it up.
I shudda newt better
Remember....I know my animals! Don't know much else, but do know my critters!
PB for ruru!!
ahem ruru...grid word!
It was worth it for the joke
Newts here aren't salamanders though... I will need to read up on this.
Jokes are always worth it....
They are related but a different species
They're amphibians of the order Salamandridae.
I will have to read up on this.. I could be confused
So how is everyone?
Cold and rainy here...not going to go to the local celtic festival
That good huh?
Aw sorry JJ
It's kind of like way dolphins and whales are classified...all dolphins are "whales" but not all whales are dolphins. Newts and salamanders are kind of that way, I think.
We had our monsoon finally..lots of flooding and rescues and road closures....but bright and sunny now.
I bet lots of water is dangerous there
Such a mess. Last Tues. we got 4 inches in less than an hour....total havoc. Luckily, I was safe at home and on the second floor so I just sipped tea and enjoyed it.
mimi, while we down in Casa Grande get no rain
I like the phrase "for the purpose of Babble"
No? I thought the whole state got that rain.
Hi, Molly! Enlighten me, please.
Kinda feel bad as the local festival has been floundering and this will not help, but I think it may cause them to realize they need to accept local business sponsorship
For the want of a nail, a kingdom was lost...for the purpose of Babble, a meaning was bent
no, it always goes around us........once in a while we get a downpour that lasts maybe 20 minutes and poof, it's gone
nice molly
Now I have to go listen to Todd Rundgren
wesit
Hello its me.......
oops
My brain isn't functioning on anything resembling a philosophical level this morning....
No, For The Want Of A Nail, great song
Oh
Trivia: Did you know that for a long time Liv Tyler thought Todd Rundgren was her father?
Turns out he was her stepfather.
Really?...she would have been better off
Steve Tyler is a creepy old lech
Actually, now that Steven Tyler has straightened up, they are apparently quite close.
I disagree, ruru...for some reason I like him. He now lives in New Hampshire and has become a sort of "gentleman farmer" though the term gentleman may be a bit of a stretch.
Letch
I'm just glad my younger days weren't lived out in the public eye....whoa. Though now that I'm writing the book, it will all be "out there." Don't care now...just makes me colorful.
And I must say I do not know WHY I can remember stuff like factoids about Tyler but can't remember really useful things....may be some sort of karmic joke.
I wouldn't want to be a celebrity
I'm going to be laughing about Steven Tyler, gentlemen farmer all day
Me either! Cannot even begin to understand why people want to be famous. I would like to be anonymously wealthy, however.
Glad to provide a chuckle, Molly!
He practices safe sex on the farm molly
It does conjure a rather bizarre image, doesn't it?!
R
Water...all...over the place...
WHOA...don't even want to see that image in my head...poor farm animals.
They mark all the sheep that kick
Need breakfast so going to go blush in private for a bit. HAGD and hugs all around.
New Hampshire, where men are men and sheep are nervous
Dream on Mimi
Not to mention the poor cows
You know what they call a guy with his hand up a horse's butt...an Amish mechanic.
...and dreamin' til the dream comes true...rockin' on!
Oh, I would call him something else
Lol...that is so weird it is funny
Mimi?
That was actually a Robin Williams joke...was watching a showing of his stint on Inside the Actors Studio this morning....cried.
What?
Do you know what clip-clop ....bang bang....clip clop is?
I thought it was pretty clever, actually, since they use horses instead of cars. But I'm demented.
No..what?
An Amish drive BT
Amish drive by shooting
OK....I need tea now...
Lol
Okay, 97 left...bbl...going to take advantage of rainy day and work on house
Bye you two
Something tells me Mimi and Ru read Sickipedia : D
No but it would be apt
good morning babblers.
Time to get up...be back in a few
very late start, another crazy, busy day.
If anybody is here, HELLO!
hello ruby

phantom:stiffy
Naughty Nell : D
That's me! Hello Molly.
We will just pretend you were talking about a stiff drink.
well.. with all those French Viagra commercials.. ...
of course. Actually, the only time I've ever heard that expression was in a movie with Kevin Spacey "Common, Ordinary Criminals"
Nothing more horrible than a phantom stiffy!
C'est un Homme ....
I| love the idea of a disembodied one....
<-- better keep quiet
take the best and leave the rest, eh ruby?? lol
RubylorenabobbitFoo
: O
my heroine!
I wonder why she didn't get a littering ticket from the police
They sewed it back on
they have stores for women with disembodied ones ruby
hahah
hello jaxx
I'd just love to have heard the conversation among the cops. "You pick it up" "I'm not picking it up, you pick it up"
Hi, Ruby et al.
uncle!
that's why they wear gloves at crime scenes
"let's get Mikey!"
ET5 clue please?
I certainly got a rise out of the chog; I thought there was nobody here when I came in
Who named theirs Mikey?
Officer Peter Picked a peck of.. oh never mind
probably called it Little Mikey
et + scottish for small...
alternative spelling of needlecase, mlf
gosh.. I haven't named mine...
He likes it, hey Mikey
I thought most men did.....
I never thought to
let's think up a name for ru's.....
how bout you crossy?
can i get STATS for the 9 please?
mine has a secret name and the mrs named it, not I
oh.. .lol..
Ithink that is often the case....
he 9/78
ty!
ty, crossy
cant spell the needle case word in the grid?
e + too cute for words
mlf.. you've seen it a zillion times.. think about it
MLF .... et + scottish for small...
i just got et 5/18:)
that would be it
cross yep
clue or stats for an 8 wd be appreciated
sw 8/60

Ruby, not a debit
Oh never mind, I read that an a
we8...appropos of our earlier conversation...means small
found the sw 8 ty
perfect, ty, Molly
are we back to talking about penises again molly?
put a consonant before we7 and you have tw 8
I thought size didn't matter.
depends what you're driving....
It is what you do with it that counts
LOLOLOL
Ruby you crack me up
On that note I am off to get our evening meal. bbl
bye jaxx
night jaxx
bye jaxx
I might get banned
banned?
Hope they aren't having bratwurst for dinner
around here it's just boudin blanc with the occasional boudin noir thrown in to show they're not racist
the French Racist? mai non?
Havve you seen whats going on in Paris? I'm glad I live in the country....
as the man said "size may not matter, but it takes a long time to get to England in a row-boat" :)
What is going on in Paris?
Did you know that Jews cant be buried in the local cemetery?
They're protesting in front of synagogues and setting fires
how odd
really?
why?
It's not the French doing it, however, but the cemetery? That's French.
The Muslims are protesting Gaza by going after Jews in Paris. Very scary.
The world is falling apart i swear
oh.. that makes a ton of sense ruby
Those Parisian Jews are really causing trouble in Gaza
exactly. Unfortunately, French anti-Semitism runs very deep. However, Hollande and the police seems to be acting correctly
I thought the muslim religion was a religion of peace
That's what I thought....
Good afternoon, all!

ty pen i used MOREWORDS and got them
yw...
hello, Im back
wb...
thanks, went out for lunch then food shopping. I ordered something I havent had in ages. Poached eggs on buttered toast. They were made to perfection.
ah...nice....
i got a sandwich at Subway after grocery shopping...
i love Subway sandwhiches especially a roast beef or a meat ball
sub
i am stalled at 30 left....will probably have to list...
i had a roast beef sandwich.... ;o)
Just reading back a bit in chat. I really don't understand why France has anti-semitism issues. Do they think Jewish people caused the holocaust? Are they mad at the U.S. for liberating France from the Nazis in WWII? What is the deal there?
not sure it is antisemitism....perhaps other forms of racism....like with muslims...
there is antisemitism in France.
oh there is everywhere in all likelihood....
Well, antisemitism is racism. One of the worst kinds actually. Perhaps there is a large population of ex pat Palestinians in France? I'm not lumping all french in together. I just don't understand the hate coming from that part of the world.
pen i am stalled with 30 left and have been listing
i love a roast beef sandwhich from there with raw onion and mayonnaise or vingar and oil
oops sorry i meant 21 words left dont know what i was looking at
anyone want a clue before I leave?
okay, smarties, bye
i think i am going to finish this later....bye all!
MLFAN17-you're killing me with that sandwich. I've severely cut down on red meats and desserts. good news: lost 13 pounds this summer. Bad news: I'd kill for some roast beef!
But I'm 6 feet and 167 punds right now so gotta keep it up
pounds, that is
That doesn't sound overweight Jeff
it was a bit at 180 pounds....that ole tummy was a bit pudgy :)
Well congratulations on taking control
I need to lose about 7 pounds, but have no willpower and a sweet tooth :)
lol. I am 6 foot 2. Anything under 190 pounds and I look like a survivor from a concentration camp:)
the sweets kill me too. Haagen-das sorbet in the freezer. No cakes or cookies if I can help it

There is no sw6
sorry sw 8
Put an s in front of the little cocktail frankfurters
Really?? thank you!
<-- this kind soul has just spent the last 5 minutes seeking an sw6!
Soodle! So sorry, my love.
I like to make everybody as crazy as I am.
Of course they call them little smokies now since people tend to laugh at the other word.
Anybody else, Hego, and they would be toast. You are lucky that I'm fond of you!!
Likewise Soodle. :)
And hello all. :-)
Yes Hego, count your blessings. : D
Little smokies, that's a new one.
I am, Molly, I am.
Guess everyone knows now how I get fixated on whatever I'm watching on Netflix. Dexter is my current obsession. Gee! I really want to go to Miami....
Did Dexter and, yes Miami is as good as it looks.
It was a good show, esp the first few years.
Oh, Soodle....
I almost got there. We were in Fl many years ago, & got down to Key West. But the Elian Gonzales thing was kicking off in Miami & we had the kids with us at the time, so we side stepped Miami.
I bought a pink nail polish the other day. It is called Escaping Reality!
Love Miami beach.
I'm loving 'Dexter'...
I want to go to Key West and Sanibel Island.
Hot weather, hot Latinos. sigh...
Hi Peri
Soodle is ignoring my posts :(
Lol Peri!! I escape reality all the time. It's called Netflix!
haha
No, she'll be back.
See
I am stuck with 64 left
Peri, Key West was my absolute favourite part of Florida. En route down there we stayed in a motel called The Pink Flamingo. It had plastic pink flamingoes out the front of it!
Key West is the most party place in America!!
I was in Miami beach many years ago
And we ate at a diner called 'The Road Kill Cafe'. The tag line was ... you kill it, we grill it...
eww
what did you eat there, Soodle?
yuck!
LOL, Peri. I ate a burger!!!!
aw, but what was the burger made of, that is the question!
I just loved Florida! Sigh....
I have thought of moving to Florida but it is very humid In the summer and there are big bugs.
That part is the nicest, Soodle.
lol at road kill cafe.. a smidgen of pigeon and a smear of deer? name that road kill and you eat for free?
I have a friend who retired and moved to the gulf coast of Florida. she loves it there
I have a poster of that, somewhere
lol Crossy
haha crossy. do you have any more pages to send to me
nope, that is it so far, peri, the prologue and part 2. part three is in progress as we speak
ok
will slide in a bit more personal contact and dialogue for the ladies;)
Soodle? Fixated? Never
Lol Molls.
I was afraid you were going to develop a meth habit during your Breaking Bad run.
Nah! I dodged that bullet. However, after watching Dexter, there are a few people who I wouldn't mind bumping off!!
found the exact poster that i have for The road Kill cafe:)) http://tinyurl.com/nf6xxeg
I could never get into Dexter. My kids liked it though.
the season with John Lithgow was incredible, Molly
Powerful stuff.
Agreed, Hego!
Oh, I do like John Lithgow
I think that was the high point.
He was masterful in that series. AND, there were several shots of his unclad behind....
ok, down to 50 sans list. bbl to finish
right Soodle
Laters, peritoes.
Oh, well I like John Lithgow, but definitely not in that way
bye Babe
Peritoes sounds like something you eat with salsa
The acting was incredible.
Puppies, I think.
perritos
Oh thank God, I thought you were eating puppies with salsa
lol
lol! New Lay's perrito's try them with your favorite cheese dip!
snap
Lays did have a contest for a new flavor. They can keep the cappuccino chips though.
They had a chip contest here a few years back. came up with a few terrible flavours, though the sea salt & Black pepper is not too bad
I doubt doggie flavor would be popular.
what is this damned en 6?
en + a damned small body of land in the damned water
lol thank you, dammit.
You're damned welcome : )
lol and bbl. :D
nasty bit of business all this fu***** language:)
Incredible!! Facebook now allows calls via FB messenger free!!! I just had a call from Sarah over FB. No cost to either party. Incredible!
I just use skype. Not top call quality but passable
Skype can be a bit jerky... The FB call was crystal clear. I'm gobsmacked
cool:)
How is the Remaining Daughter Of Soodle doing now that she is an only child?
pests
Yes, we are
I am here together with a free word
yaaa! Jaxx comes with prezzies!
Revelling in the undivided attention, Molly. She is travelling over to join her sister next Friday. I predict sparks a-flying...
Hey Jaxx!
Always. No excuse tonight as I am sober
Oh Lord, alert the authorities and lock up all the young men.
Greetings to all! may i have a clue for the AT6 pls. TY!
In Trim, I mean, since you will have the house to yourself. : P
At + pee + consonant
TY!
Lol ! I still haven't decided how best to avail of my freedom....
It will seem a bit strange at first
Well all I can say is we better not read some thrilling tale of how you cleaned the house or redecorated while she was gone.
Spread those wings, soodle
I can categorically assure you all that cleaning of the house will not feature next weekend. For sure!
Wings, yes, reminds me of the old one winged bird. : D
/ molly
?????? molly
Next Saturday is taken care of. I must travel to Limerick to attend an exhumation. Seriously!
Oh well, there's a thrill ride for you. Not.
Not the happiest way to spend a Saturday! Is this a victim of yours?
Part of my job. Exhumations don't happen often, but when they do, a member of my office must be present.
Fascinating, soodle
Soods, you are part of the department of exhumations department?
Hi, Bich.
I work in the Coroners Service, Bich. It's a tough gig, but never ever boring.
I can imagine Soody
What is at + pee?
at + Scottish for small
I had a fellow employee who started her career as a forensic scientist. She decided she couldn't take the flies etc any longer. She decided to teach so no change there.
ok, got it, ty
Soody? Now I'm thinking of a rap song called Soody's Booty
You can call me bichy
Thunk thunk thunk.... Background music to Soody's Booty.....
You can call me Eddie
You can call me Al.....
And just remember, Meghan Trainor says she's bringing booty back
Just checked my lottery ticket.. Florida is
florida is going to have to wait a while longer... RATS!
ti 7/8, pls
old-time kinds of photographs on metal plates, bichon.
and thank you for those. :)
Hi all - surgery went well - got home from the hospital this am. Fading fast, so will not stick around to finish this one at the moment. Just wanted to say hi.
I'm very happy for you, Nan. Don't know what kind of surgery you had but I wish you a quick and painless recovery.
Now there is a devoted Babble player. Checks in to let everyone know her surgery went well. Good wishes for a speedy recovery Nan.
ty seain
Hi, nan. hope you are soon back to your usual self.
Goodnight all.
heal quickly and uneventfully, nan.

wow... just priced out some stainless steel lined copper cookware. I am still in shock!
$200.00 to $500.00 per pot/pan , depending on size.. gulp!
hi all!
suze!
hi crossy!
How are you this fine evening?
not bad - just got back from walking the dogs with Frank
How is frank doing?
we didn't go too far as Frank is still pretty weak but it did him good to get outside
physically he is doing ok although he still isn't eating much due to gas pains; he had a bit of a meltdown earlier but the walk outside helped
Yes, Just getting out in the fresh air and smelling something other than hospital hand sanitizer or the smell of chemo coming out of your pores non-stop can help a lot
indeed! He says I should make him do it every day.
He will have zero motivation i am guessing. Everything is queasy, everything hurts and and every chore is like scaling a tall mountain
he hasn't had too much trouble with queasiness but he still hates the bag
and not eating much is one way of not having to deal with it much - I don't think he's consciously deciding that but I think that's part of his reluctance
yES, THAT BAG MUST TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO
darn, sorry caps
quite a lot. And getting used to it while going through chemo doesn't make it any easier.
My beloved had to geep all my most favorite foods on hand to get me to eat anything at all at the time and all strong foods had to go. Bland food was the order of the day or up it would come
keep
yes, I'm still trying to figure out what he will eat
In my case it was ice cream, freezies, scrambled eggs. lightly toasted bread with little butter,pudding, yogurt, gatorade and I had to drink that Ensure meal replacement crap
soup, cream soups were ok
he won't touch the Ensure; he's ok with one scrambled egg (and one waffle)
nothing real chunky though
white rice and egg rolls or pot stickers - they're gluten free and not fried
hi all, back to finish
help with in7/28 pls
hi peri!
they have the new Ensure juice, suze, perhaps it may be better
hi sue and frank too!
a town without a hotel,peri\
I made a poem :)
no, we tried that last time. I did get some Gatorade but he hasn't tried it yet.
lol, I puked more gatorage on chemo... i cannot touch the stuff now
gatorade
and the drinks have to be cold, iced cold to the poink of ice slivers bobbing in it
point
he doesn't like the regular gatorade but one of his friends told him the fruit punch flavor wasn't too bad - I got that, berry fruit punch, and pink lemonade flavors
the oxaliplatin makes him very sensitive to the cold so he wants his drinks more towards room temperature
sounds like the cisplatin didn't do that?
I used to have to partially freeze all my drinks into a slushee
ahh
no, the cisplatin was evil stuff, suze
the oxaliplatin is evil too but a different evil, I think
I could taste it, smell it and sweat it 24/7 when i had a pee it was all you could smell. it was all-invasive
all of it is poison to kill poison
indeed it is. And next time (week after next) they will start him on the Avastin.
I wish him well and an easy pain-free treatment
thanks! I hope so too...
I am very glad the nausea is not too bad with him
me 3!!
me too! He took antinausea meds starting Tuesday (treatment day) through yesterday and that seemed to help a lot
I used to take pills daily and a bag of I.V anti-nausea with each treatment
yes, they give him a bag of the stuff first thing
even 8 years later i can still smell it.
you mean it's still there, or you remember it that well?
I remember it that well
he gets kind of a funny taste while the oxaliplatin is running but so far it doesn't seem to have a longer effect than that; it may get worse with time, though
I think the actual chemo drugs washed out of my system inside of a couple of month once treatment was done
how is his hair doing?
so far it's still all there; last time it got thinner, and the long parts of his moustache fell out, but he didn't lose it all
they said this time should be similar
hehe, i was as bald as a cue-ball. Lost it all. every last hair on my body. Talc powder became my best friend. friction was everywhere lol
apparently that doesn't usually happen with the stuff he's on - one thing to be glad for, anyway!
tell frank the cancer diet is wonderful: all the pizza and beer you want and, and you want none of it and the pounds just melt away:)
haha, he already can't have pizza or beer, unless they're gluten free
well, a good book is calling me, so i will bid you goodnight suze.
and the pounds have already melted off him :-(
fireworks!
Good Evening, everyone (if anyone is here, that is). Before I start, how is the grid tonight? (watching a football game and wondering if it's worth starting at this point).
it's a fun one. i've gotten 114 with minimal work and little play.
Thanks, Seain. I'll dive in then
else
Whoops! I thought I'd post it is an easy fun grid, then I saw a word and forgot I was in chat! Sorry
