good morning all

2:20 am

{{hugs}} sprite. good morning dear. how are you today?

2:20 am

*hugs rose* am ok, darling. And you?

2:21 am

ditto, hun. haven't done much today. the paperwork has st5ed to arrive. it is really doing my head in.

2:22 am

aw sweetie :( That is so nasty, isn't it. Too much, and too complicated, and too much confrontation with everything that is wrong about the whole situation. Am so sorry. Can your union rep help? Or the lawyer?

2:23 am

there's a 50 page questionnaire for the disability support pension. and now the lawyer has sent me paperwork for workcover. but...i have filled out and returned my exit papers for my ex-employer, and signed and posted the authority forms for release of my medical reports to lawyer.

2:24 am

good job, dear friend. You are coming out on top as usual. *hugs*

2:25 am

i said todon, i will just have to tackle it a few pages at a time. that's all i can handle. my brain shuts down, and if he tries to push me i get snaky.

2:27 am

yeah, the last thing you need is to be pushed. Your pace, not his. Your brain shutting down is your system telling you enough is enough. I really think you should do this with somebody to help you.

2:28 am

i was wondering about that. i think if don was beside me, i would probably draw strength from that. and he can do all the jumping up and down, fetching the information i need.

2:29 am

yep, that would be great. And tell him up front that when you say STOP, it means stop and the session is over until you say it is time to start again.

2:30 am

it's quite funny really. as it's my disability which is preventing me from just getting on with it.

2:31 am

ikr! It was the same for me. Driving me absolutely bananas. Had to prove I couldn't do certain things anymore... by doing them. Yeah, right. God help us all.

2:32 am

oh, and we have worked out why the manary wouldn't sit on his perches. the shell-grit covered one hurt his feet, and the plain plastic ones were to slippery. i have covered those ones with sand-paper covers, and now he is sitting up high in his cage trilling his little heart out.

2:33 am

awwww he is happy :) Good detective work, that.

2:34 am

lol...don thinks he was afraid of falling off the plain plastic perches...i mean...it gives a whole new meaning to falling off your perch...

2:35 am

roflol

2:40 am

sprite?? have you heard from pugs yet?

2:40 am

no sweetie. I think she is beat from driving up and down there.

2:42 am

probably so. i'm just concerned a little. it's so unlike her to not even drop a line or two to us.

2:42 am

yes it is. Am worried too.

2:42 am

maybe i'll email her again.

2:43 am

we can do that, and let her know that just a single line will do for now :)

2:43 am

Just to know she is safe.

2:47 am

done

2:47 am

same, lol

2:48 am

*smiling at you* sister

2:48 am

:D it always works!

2:49 am

pugs was here a few games ago, remember? she chatted with zooz and said to tell us all was okay.

2:49 am

yes, but that was before driving all the way back home

2:49 am

but it's not the same as hearing it from her own sweet hands.

2:50 am

ahhhh. that makes sense...

2:50 am

no, we need our pugs back

2:51 am

must remember to ask her what babble time she is here nowadays. maybe we can time it to be here too.

2:51 am

yes, that would be good

2:51 am

whoever sees her first, asks, right?

2:52 am

will do

2:52 am

now, we just need to dredge up liz girl and the gang will be complete.

2:53 am

indeed. Liz is irregular, like me

2:53 am

oh, i am so not touching that one....roflol

2:54 am

lolllllll nah, that I don't know about Liz. Me... always have been. But even more nowadays, going through the flares and all.

2:55 am

Hi, ladies :)

2:55 am

hehehe speaking of the angels! There she is. Hi Liz *hugs*

2:56 am

oh, sprite. i think don is losing it. we drove all the way to the bank so he could withdraw some cash, only for him to discover he had left his cards at home. * sigh * i think i will have to type up a check list for him, and put it next to the front door.

2:56 am

Hugs to you too

2:56 am

{{hugs}} liz girl...were your ears burning?

2:56 am

How are you both?

2:56 am

lol, give the man a break. We all forget stuff like that once in a while.

2:57 am

I said I'd be back!

2:57 am

liz, centrelink is trying to do my head in.

2:57 am

am good. Bit of trouble sleeping, but otherwise good! How about you, and your wonderful husband?

2:57 am

Hate all those formalities! Council people seem to love paper work!

2:58 am

ummm, sprite, i hear...oh, i forgot.....several times a day. it's a little disturbing.

2:58 am

We're fine. Took long, long beach walk today, followed by lunch out!

2:58 am

ain't that the truth! "Write down in clear sentences why you are not able to write a coherent text."

2:58 am

oh, loverly liz. so invigourating.

2:58 am

oh wow, sounds wonderful, Liz!

3:00 am

Hm! Message into the ether!

3:01 am

Beautiful spring weather. Finally not too windy today.

3:01 am

it is always funny to me, how you guys go into spring while we drift towards autumn here.

3:02 am

liz, have been gently nudging don along. once this hooha has settled, we are coming up for a few days.

3:02 am

Yippee!

3:02 am

oooo that is wonderful!

3:03 am

we are both so ready for a break.

3:03 am

I hear you. Sounds like just what you need

3:03 am

Can't think of a better place!

3:08 am

you guys make a pic and send it to me, right?

3:08 am

sorry, i had to dash...my gut is still playing up. btw, sprite, did you manage to find the immodium?

3:08 am

Of course! Straight from my phone.

3:09 am

lol....with don and i in the pic, we had better use a wide-angle lens...

3:09 am

Is that a reaction to. N

3:09 am

oh that is so nasty, am so sorry rose. Yes, I have the immodium. Just holding off taking it until I have seen the specialist and asked.

3:09 am

is that a reaction to new medication? Unpleasant for you.

3:10 am

cut it out, rose. You guys are beautiful the way you are. Won't be a problem for any camera.

3:10 am

okay, sprite. of course, it is wisest to make sure it is okay for you to take.

3:10 am

liz, a reaction to stress.

3:10 am

Like sprite said, Rose!

3:11 am

Nasty whatever.

3:12 am

and try telling workcover that it is related to my injury. i was 17 kgs lighter when i fell.

3:12 am

How did your weekend clear up go, sprite?

3:12 am

yes, especially because we are going to look into the whole incontinence thing. Wouldn't want to muddle the waters. Muddle? Um... not sure of the word.

3:12 am

brb, just heard the motorbike pull in4 our drive.

3:12 am

Work over seem to have their own story and agenda!

3:13 am

Muddy the waters.

3:13 am

* muddy * sprite

3:13 am

Liz, you wouldn't believe how much stuff we have thrown out. Clothes, garbage, books. So much. My own room isn't done yet, but we made a huge dent in it all.

3:13 am

ah, that was it. Muddy the waters. Lol. Thank you. Brb, got a potty to break ;)

3:14 am

That's awesome! Hubby has started de cluttering here too but we've got a long way to go.

3:15 am

lol, there you are...in duplicate/stereo

3:15 am

sprite, your english is way better than my dutch....lol...

3:15 am

How's the building work going!

3:15 am

Careless punctuation! Using iPad.

3:16 am

liz, i am trying to slow him down. the vibration from the air-chisel is causing him so much pain.

3:16 am

He needs to look after himself first? Slow and sure.

3:17 am

Muddling ? And ! Today.

3:19 am

lol, liz girl....whatever you say, dear. * backs away slowly, avoiding eye contact*

3:20 am

Lol

3:23 am

liz, the brick chimney which backs in4 the laundry have been rendered with plaster. we * insert he * have to remove that before we can take any more bricks down.

3:24 am

Sounds like a lot of work. Did you finally lose the battle to get in workmen?

3:25 am

yup...don is firm in his resolution to do it all himself. but i have told him...if we get to 2 years....i am calling in a builder, no matter what.

3:26 am

Or if it causes too much pain

3:26 am

yeah, that too. he has severe arthritis like me, poor man.

3:26 am

Hubby doing most of it here too - except for crawling in e roof.

3:27 am

back :D

3:27 am

Ouch!

3:27 am

wb sprite

3:28 am

liz, don even crawls in the roof space. i can't tell you how many times my heart has been in my mouth.

3:28 am

Welcome back. Did I see earlier that neither of you has heard from pugs. I also emailed her earlier this week.

3:28 am

*sends rose a footlocker for don*

3:29 am

Hubby hurt his back last time in the roof. Went in4 spasm, so def won't do it again. He doesn't want to and I won't let him.

3:30 am

amen to that. Priority must be living to an old age together.

3:30 am

Very true!

3:31 am

*pictures rose dragging Don by his ear to the puter to read this*

3:31 am

Lol

3:31 am

lol

3:35 am

fireflies

3:35 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:35 am

Congrats, sprite :)

3:37 am

thank you :) Wish I could stay, but I can't. Stuff to do. Boring stuff. Household stuff. *hugs* to you both, and a *hug* for your husbands too. Pace yourself, rose... take care of yourself and don't let anybody rush you. And to all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

3:37 am

Have a great day - don't overdo it. Hugs

3:38 am

ditto sprite, pace yourself, dear. xoxox

3:44 am

Time for me to go too. Take it easy, Rose. Hugs

3:44 am

okay, liz. enjoy your evening, dear. xoxox

4:01 am

Hi fellow Babblers

4:03 am

g'day dianne. how are you today, dear?

4:03 am

I'm good Rose. How are you managing?

4:04 am

dianne, still hanging in there. physically, coasting. but i have been deluged with paperwork. it is doing my head in....lol

4:05 am

I imagine the paper work is difficult but even more so is that it makes you continually think about what happened to you.

4:10 am

dianne...it is part of my disability...i try to complete the paperwork, and then my brain shuts down. * sigh * i will get there...it might take a little longer than other people.

4:11 am

and my lawyer is on the move....lol....i have to be proud of him...

4:11 am

Well, you just keep plugging away (at your own speed) and get this all done so you can get on with the good stuff that is ahead for you.

4:12 am

absolutely, dianne...i hear you

4:12 am

Rose, have you ever heard of freezing a baked potato?

4:13 am

yes, dianne. we have frozen roast vegs available in our supermarkets.

4:14 am

i don't think it would be crunchy, like a freshly cooked one.

4:15 am

I am going to do that. I am making baked potatoes tonight and need to "use them or lose them" so I'll freeze the excess and see how they are when thawed.

4:16 am

perhaps, when you thaw them, warm them up in the microwave oven, the give them a quick fry in the frying pan to crisp them up.

4:17 am

Good idea - thanks

4:20 am

If you have any whole jacket potato left you can leave them to go cold.Then scoop out the white flesh put them in4 a freezer bag .Freeze both as normal.Then when it comes to re-using .just pop the potato skin into oven for about 5-10 mins to crisp up and thawed out flesh back inside.Almost good as new :-)

4:21 am

wow, zooz....and g'day, mate

4:21 am

Hello everyone :-)

4:22 am

zooz - that is great. This way if I want I can just have potato skin or the whole thing. Thaks

4:23 am

More than elcome.I have done it a few times.I often put the flesh back in4 the skin mixed with tuna & mayo. Delish!

4:23 am

Welcome*

5:04 am

Down to 11 more to find.Taking a break for now.

6:12 am

Just letting her ramble on, but acting very interested in what she was saying

6:12 am

oh, she has a lifetime of experience pretending to listen. haha

6:13 am

Well I was very grateful for her being able to do that so I could decompress a little

6:15 am

Well, I have at least 2 or more for each letter, so that is something for me today

6:23 am

Trif, did you hear of the two kayakers off Plymouth who got upended by a shark. There was a bit taken out of their kayaks, but they were rescued

6:23 am

Hi crossy

6:23 am

chortle

6:23 am

oops.. sorry, not awake

6:24 am

Good morning Crossy

6:24 am

oh geesh, no bichon!! how awful!

6:24 am

and yet - what a story!

6:24 am

According to my friend who is a firefighter, the kayaks saw seals and something going on and paddled over there.

6:24 am

I saw it on CNN

6:25 am

Where's Scrabs? She'd love that story

6:25 am

ah....curiosity killed the kayak

6:25 am

Phantom: matador

6:25 am

g'day crossy.a quieter day for you, mate?

6:27 am

yes, will be a bit slower today. Am in the scholatic groove now and there is no honey-do list for afterwards

6:28 am

(suspects crossy has just reveled true reason he went back to school)

6:28 am

Yes, I slept through the 70's

6:28 am

I can barely see atm. yesterday knocked the stuffing out of me

6:29 am

{{Crossy}} pours crossy a cup of coffee and puts on classical music to ease him into reality

6:29 am

My beloved is enjoying herself in class:)

6:30 am

Yay!

6:31 am

Bichon...do you still need the fish clue?

6:31 am

I think I will go back to sleep myself for a bit...as I can! morning all

6:36 am

don and i were out for lunch...he had pancakes, poached eggs, bacon.......and maple syrup.

6:37 am

mmmmm..bacon...

6:37 am

I find it kind of funny;because of babble I have hundreds of women, from all over the world thinking about me every time they eat bacon:))

6:38 am

6:38 am

SC 5/14

6:38 am

6:38 am

Yes it is!

6:39 am

bichon, the only maple syrup i buy has to be the product of canada. any others taste watered down.

6:39 am

sadly, bacon has become more expensive here that a good steal. it is now selling for $6.00 plus tax for a mere 375 grams(about 3/4 of a pound!

6:39 am

have to love our syrup;)

6:40 am

So it's imported. I had trouble imagining maple sugaring in Austrailia

6:40 am

I'm off for a bit. HAGD all! {{group}}

7:01 am

Cool thing to do

7:01 am

that's where my hair was first dyed pink about 5 years ago.

7:01 am

Whatever raises funds for cancer research/treatment i am all for it:)

7:01 am

on pink ribbon day, i shaved my head, fund raised over $2,000. a leading surgeon shaved his head at the same time, to support me.

7:01 am

Fantastic! Agree with Crossy

7:01 am

I got so many rude comments that I decided to make it permanent just for devilment

7:02 am

We do a terry Fox run here. it does well and raises a lot of money

That's so sad :( I've heard you talk about those girls before I think.

7:04 am

I am going on 70 now and my Grandmother at the same age had white hair that she had rinsed a different colour evry week. She also wore outrageously coloured clothes but I haven't followed her there.

7:05 am

:)

Me too, lbd. I'm working my way through Valemar - reading Winds of Fury now.

8:00 am

Liz, I was sending you off. I know it was suggested that you finished the grid first. I would never think you were being rude

8:00 am

I hope you enjoy all of Mercedes Lackey's books. she's an amazing author

8:01 am

st8. st5, begin + **ft, not right + first letter of not left side

8:01 am

Valdemar is my favorite, but also enjoy her elemental series.

8:01 am

I thought at first that she was too derivative of Anne McCaffrey (love her) but now she's developed her own style, so I'm much happier.

8:02 am

tr8. horse's gait + a straight **** is the shortest distance between two points

8:02 am

Loved McCaffrey too, sorry she passed on. Haven't read any of her son's work.

8:02 am

I'm sure that I'll read more of hers but I've got about 30 Mercedes Lackey books in ibooks, all waiting to be read.

8:02 am

I've read some of Todd McCaffrey - basically the Pern books.

8:02 am

8:03 am

No, I'm not on goodreads. I just read for my own enjoyment.

8:03 am

i'll have to pick up his books then.

8:03 am

I hope you enjoy them.

8:04 am

that's what i like about goodreads, you read at your own pace and review when you're done...if you want to.

8:04 am

lbd, i was on goodreads, but cyber bully and his girlfriend are there also. i would rather not have anything to do with them.

8:04 am

I'm off to bed and my book now. Thanks for all the clues. Sleep well Rose and hugs and everyone else enjoy your days. Good reason for me to stay away from goodreads and I was going to look!

8:05 am

isn't there a way to delete them from your following, rose?

8:05 am

i'm very selective as to who i've invited to my reading room.

8:05 am

no lbd....but it's okay....i have plenty of access to new books through my local library.

8:06 am

it makes me mad and sad when others ruin an experience for others. boo hiss and splotches for bully and friend.

12:43 pm

I wouldn't say not being able to clue in under 60 seconds is "too slow" : D

12:43 pm

... I can't comment ... back when I was a starving college student working summers for a small life insurance company I was forever going back to my supervisors desk to ask him a question and then would see the answer half way through asking the question ...

12:45 pm

12:46 pm

dose yes you are quck most times:0

12:46 pm

Other than the usual traffic, no. Although I don't know which way you come down here. I always go around 95 as it is a mess all the time.

12:46 pm

ty dose that got me two more words

12:47 pm

molly is right 95 is always a nghtmare

12:47 pm

We take 95 but we don't take the beltway. We just go through DC

12:48 pm

bichon where in the washington metro area will you be?

12:48 pm

I don't know the hotel, but it might be near Union Station

12:49 pm

ah okay that should be very nice.

12:50 pm

its probably going to be very hot though bichon

12:50 pm

There are a lot of nice hotels near Union Station. And if you have never been to Union Station, that place is beautiful.

12:51 pm

Don't worry, I'm sure the hotel and the wedding place will have AC

12:51 pm

Yes, I've been there, briefly. Mr. Bich is performing the service

12:51 pm

it better or you are in trouble lol

12:51 pm

Oh how nice.

12:52 pm

He's done a lot of weddings for students he's known at Wesleyan

12:53 pm

Hiyas, kiddos!

12:53 pm

We went to a wedding on Monday that was in a church with no AC. It was 88 and very humid. I was woozy

12:54 pm

we have rain and thunder here in nc

12:54 pm

at teh moment

12:54 pm

the

12:54 pm

bichon uggh how awful

12:56 pm

They were supposed to have brought in large, powerfan, but someone forgot. It was a Ukrainian wedding service. That means looooong

12:57 pm

any sch words?

12:57 pm

bichon catholic weddings are long too

12:57 pm

yes

12:57 pm

Hope you have a good trip Bich. Just the wedding, or are you staying to do the town a bit?

12:58 pm

Trust me, this was much longer than a Catholic wedding. They even had a choir

12:58 pm

We've been to DC a lot, but we're going to try to go to a couple of museums on Sat. morning

12:59 pm

well at least it had music a lot of catholic weddings have a lot of readings

1:00 pm

bbl

1:01 pm

Well, only the "full service" type Catholic weddings are the long ones. There is a shorter service that most people opt for.

1:02 pm

back and hello

1:03 pm

Hello busy paperwork sorting woman.

1:04 pm

The service was part English, but , mostly in Ukrainian. The Italian and Scottish side [the groom] were confused. The Maid of Honor was dressed in a men's suit.

1:04 pm

The studio almost looks pretty. And the weather is gorgeous

1:04 pm

bichon, hello, and do you have time to go to the museum at Dumbarton Oaks?

1:05 pm

Oh Bich, that wedding sounds horrible.

1:05 pm

our Scottish friends came for a weird-hour drink/meal. But they loved the gazpacho and, especially, the sangria

1:05 pm

Weird hour?

1:06 pm

4 PM

1:06 pm

4 PM

1:06 pm

usually just for a drink but today I served all the rest, but not a real meal

1:06 pm

Why is that weird? It's cocktail hour.

1:07 pm

but you usually don't get soup and pate and fruit salad

1:07 pm

they were delighted

1:07 pm

Tea time!

1:07 pm

exactly

1:07 pm

hello judi

c hord

1:08 pm

my favorite word in this grid is ch736 which I do a lot

1:08 pm

I'd be much happier with drinks and the food to go with instead of tea and crumpets.

1:09 pm

... don't miss the 8 ... the person who does the 7

1:09 pm

I think you would like my gazpacho, Molly

1:09 pm

Alcohol is required in large social settings.

1:09 pm

duh moi, ru

1:09 pm

or even in smallish ones

1:09 pm

Oh especially smallish ones

1:11 pm

I'm sure your gazpacho is good Ruby, but I am not a cold soup kind of person.

1:11 pm

If you mashed all that same stuff up and made salsa out of it, I would love it. : D

1:11 pm

5 people works well around our table on the deck. 6 is the max for the breakfast room. More than that, it's in the dining room, but I don't do that any more

1:12 pm

You would have to trust me Moly, but it is a wonderful soup and is my best dish

1:12 pm

*Sniff* Unused dining rooms make me sad.

1:13 pm

the dining room branches off the living room and is just a very pretty place even if I don't use it any more

1:13 pm

I always found gazpacho more appealing in shot glass sized servings.

1:13 pm

no no, judi, everybody wanted seconds

1:13 pm

Cucumber & melon gazpacho is divine! And, if you don't like it as soup, you can always make a margarita out of it.

1:13 pm

and needed spoons

1:14 pm

and I put cognac in the sangria, so it's delish and packs a nice punch (pun, there, ru)

1:15 pm

Soup is about my speed today. Had a tooth yank from the lower deck yesterday. It broke into four pieces. Dentist was wrenching & digging around in there for about 15 minutes.

1:17 pm

*sigh* asked hubby to leave me some money today. He forgot. Need to get juice and squishy soft food.

1:18 pm

I have the ch8 and the st8. What's the other one?

1:19 pm

tr8

1:19 pm

Ty ty. Will look.

1:19 pm

Hmm, you can't get money without the husband leaving it for you?

1:20 pm

I can, Molly. It's just that he had some cash and I didn't. So, now I just have to visit an ATM.

1:21 pm

If you can't mooch from the husband, who can you mooch from??

1:21 pm

Last time I had a tooth pulled, I lived on baked potatoes and applesauce. And you are braver than I am, no way I would have a molar pulled while I was awake.

1:22 pm

Wasn't a molar. Front bottom tooth (next to the canine).

1:23 pm

Oh that's too bad, are you going to have to get one of those tooth plants in it's place?

1:23 pm

Reckon I got me a hillbilly hole in my head.

1:24 pm

Braces to follow in two weeks. UGH!

1:25 pm

Clue for that TR8, please?

1:26 pm

Horse gait + what you hang the clean washed clothes on

1:26 pm

Thanks, Molls. Never heard of it.

1:26 pm

One of the few fishing terms I know.

1:26 pm

Hey everybody :-)

1:26 pm

Hiya, Soodle!

1:28 pm

Ooh, Judi. You poor thing.. I had a tooth pulled some years ago and it was terrible.

1:29 pm

I hadn't expected it to be so traumatic. I was starting to go into anxiety attack about 1/2 way through.

1:29 pm

omg, soodles!!!!! Hello hello

1:29 pm

I was just leaving but am happy to see you

1:29 pm

In my teens, I bit my dentist, and drew blood. He refused to treat me afterwards, unless I was sedated!

1:29 pm

Hey ((((Rubes)))

1:30 pm

Ha ha. Vampire patient!

1:30 pm

Is DIL still there?

1:30 pm

Dashing off to the grocery store. See y'all later. *POOF*

1:31 pm

Bye Judi.

1:31 pm

Popping in to say Happy Birthday Soodle!

1:31 pm

yes, she's still here but the studio looks very nice, as does the garden. She hits me with a stick when I top working (not really)

1:31 pm

Aw, thanks Champ :-)

1:31 pm

I didn't remember your birthday, bad bad nel1

1:32 pm

Like I said, Ruby, make the most of her.

1:32 pm

FB is a big help with remembering bdays

1:32 pm

2:54 pm

Unless June Foray was an alias

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

Emma Webster. It always freaked me out that the same person who did Rocky The Flying Squirrel's voice, also did the voice of Natasha.

2:56 pm

I did know that for some reason.

2:57 pm

It's what happens when you are an endless source of useless information.

2:58 pm

lol

2:58 pm

You ask yourself, why did I even know that. lol

2:59 pm

More importantly, why can you remember that and not where you left your eyeglasses?

3:36 pm

hi jaxx

3:36 pm

Is that the time you rise and face the day?

3:38 pm

It is indeed, Jaxx. At least last night I didn't wake up 2 times to go to the bathroom as I usually do!

3:39 pm

I am impressed by the time you Americans start your day, even the schoolkids have an early start

3:40 pm

Well, "we Americans" generally have a long commute to work.

3:42 pm

We Brits start a lot later and, before i retired, I had difficulty getting there on time for 8.30am

3:43 pm

Yes, I know, but you start earlier despite that.

3:46 pm

Molly, as I really annoy you, i am going to go

I'm trying to hold onto my leave for when the first grandchild comes along. Due 2 weeks today.

It's good to have something to look forward to regularly. Would enjoy that too phan.

Hi Jill.... just getting started !

9:28 pm

I'm closing in on half way !

crats

9:29 pm

me too, Jilly.. thought I had already, but glad I checked.. sigh, 21 more

and I just gave away a word except I had a typo ! Darn it all, in other words !!

Hi Aloy

9:31 pm

hi diane.. have been messing up, forgetting to finish grids, oops.. call the paddy wagons

9:31 pm

dang it, babble keeps freezing up on me...

I have done that once.... when I'd fully intended to finish. It was a shock the next day to see that my score had dropped LOL

9:32 pm

do you have stuff running in the background, Jilly?

9:32 pm

has happened to me too diane, numerous times.. swore I finished.. ugh

9:33 pm

Just shut down my browser

I think we just get too busy sometimes.

9:35 pm

yes, distracted

9:36 pm

have a friend who always stays up to finish for that reason

My grid flips at 11:00 our time, so I usually have some time after supper to get back to it.....IF I stay awake :-)

9:38 pm

oh.. the flip is at 1am my time, so that makes a difference

Chilly here TO, fall is coming

We had snow Tuesday night in the foothills, and quite a bit of it.... brrrrr....too early :-(

Hubby covered the tomoatoes tonight, just in case. There are still so many still on the plants and I like them best if they can ripen there.

10:11 pm

We had snow in tops of mountains, I really must can salsa, am down to one jar, so we picked the orange and red ones, then covered the rest, hopefully best of both worlds.

I just did the quick salsa that I keep in the fridge .... it doesn't last long. Daughter and hubby do the canned type and share :-)

10:16 pm

<---!!FW!!

good for you Jilly.... ! Now go enjoy your icecream.... mine was awesome on top of some heated rhubarb crumble!

10:17 pm

I live on salsa, eat it with celery instead of chips, great to keep calories down

10:17 pm

LOL....will be right back if clues needed *runs to freezer*

It's basically a No count food !

10:19 pm

yup!! that way i can have my little ice cream treat

10:36 pm

Well guess I will toddle of for a few errands before bedtime. Happy babbling all !!

Night, Jilly.... sleep well :-)

10:46 pm

Hi Diane

Hi, Dianne, with two n's :-)

10:48 pm

Looks like we are the only ones here.

I soon will be on my way... 6 words left and it's nearing 10 p.m.

10:49 pm

It's nearly noon here.

Is it almost noon there ?

ha ha... I was guessing :-)

10:50 pm

Just saw on the news that Joan Rivers passed away.

Yes.... some time early today I believe. She was funny in her earlier days, but I didn't much like her in later years.

At least, I didn't like her spiel, but she may have been nice in private life.

10:52 pm

She could be a bit caustic. But a real trail blazers for women.

11:02 pm

clues for the 8's needed desperately!!!

And done...! Silly little le7/40, and not a hard word, just elusive.

if you have ch7/36, just add a letter ( to snicker smugly, sort of )

11:04 pm

ty.... one down

to frighten someone suddenly.... st 7/28, then add a letter to make it the one who does it.

11:06 pm

thanks again ....just the t to go...?

and the third is tr8/40 .... a horse's gait and where you hang out your clothes to dry .

compound word

11:08 pm

ty

And I'm off to bed.... good night to whomever is here and good luck with the grid. Night night z z z z

and you're welcome :-)

11:09 pm

11:20 pm

11:23 pm
