cooee and g'day from me

2:25 am

good morning all

2:26 am

{{hugs}} dear friend

2:26 am

*hugs rose* Hello darling, how are you today?

2:27 am

doing well. it is father's day here. two of don's three remembered, and my youngest also. don was so pleased.

2:28 am

and you, sweetheart. have you have a good, bad, or indifferent night?

2:28 am

aw that is good. Tell him Happy Father's day from me as well :)

2:28 am

rather bad, alas. Ugly dreams. Am dead beat.

2:28 am

don says, ohhh, thank-you

2:29 am

:D

2:29 am

is today going to be busy for you? or can you relax and recover?

2:30 am

am making it a slow day. Got dishes to wash, dog to walk and laundry to do. I might ask one of the kids to do the dog.

2:31 am

we have spent this afternoon watching a down-load don did of robin williams in the actors studio. it was hilarious. it took nearly 15 minutes before the compere could ask his first question.

2:31 am

roflol that is so wonderful!

2:31 am

sounds like a good plan, sprite. and take your time to do the dishes.

2:31 am

have you seen that particular episode?

2:31 am

yes, I did the cooking last night so it isn't a mess, thank God.

2:32 am

strange that! when the woman does the cooking the me4 is less.

2:33 am

because we clean what we use, throw away the wrappers and stow away the herbs etc after use.

2:33 am

what a lovely evening/morning yesterday when we all were he4. it was such fun.

2:33 am

our men, being male, focus on preparing the food and go blind for what happens around them.

2:34 am

wasn't it :D I was so happy our pug was safe and sound. Can't wait to hear the news.

2:34 am

lolol, my de4 old nanna always said...a good cook cleans up after themself.

2:35 am

you and me both, sprite.

2:35 am

well, most men's brains simply are not wired that way. They see what they focus on and not what is around that. While female brains focus less and see more around them.

2:36 am

* giggle * we even had ruby....what a treat! oh and worzel!!

2:36 am

just dear joso and crossy missing

2:36 am

and, and, and we had pink...hadn't seen her in a trillion years.

2:37 am

same. Pink, and Liz, and zooz. It was a good company.

2:37 am

with sir joso being so house-trained nowadays, and crossy in school...it might be a while before they will be he4 at the sa4 time as us again.

2:38 am

yes. Can't blame them for wanting to sleep, grin

2:38 am

how rude!! babble is miles more important than sleep....lol

2:39 am

lol!

2:41 am

hun, have had to re-start the magnesium tabs. overnight cramps again, and burn-ups. the half infusion isn't lasting the full week. i'm going to ask cardiologist on tuesday if i could have the full dose.

2:42 am

it is worth trying, if the cardiologist gives you the green light. Maybe our bodies burn up magnesium much faster than other people's bodies?

2:42 am

Morning all. May I please have a clue for re5-10 the 1st Thanks much.

2:43 am

hi peach :)

2:43 am

oh, and i wore my "work" shoes today. they are wolverine sneakers. i was able to stand for 98% of the service ( where required ) with no ill effects.

2:43 am

Hi there sprite. How you doing?

2:43 am

wow rose, that is very good news. Smart thinking. But don't overdo it, please?

2:44 am

am fine, peach :) How about you?

2:44 am

peach, re5, re + not west + abbreviation for ro4, where cars drive

2:47 am

Thanks so much, Rose.

2:47 am

hello??? anyone he4?? or has babble hiccuped??

2:47 am

yw peach

2:47 am

hi sweetie, I am still here

2:48 am

I'm doing alright tonight, thanks sprite.

2:48 am

ugh...hate feeling like i am talking to the air, as you well know...lol

2:48 am

am glad to hear it, peach :)

2:49 am

as we all do, when you are hunting squirrels, rose, roflololllllll

2:49 am

ugh, no need to rub the salt in sprite...

2:50 am

*giggles* Rose, my dear friend, we wouldn't want you any other way.

2:50 am

i am so sorry, sprite. * grovelling, kissing toes*

2:51 am

That tickles!

2:51 am

* blows raspberries on sprites soles*

2:52 am

sorry, hun...should i trim the moustache??

2:52 am

omg that is evil!

2:52 am

not as evil as raspberries on the tummy...lolol....come he4 you...

2:53 am

am laughing so hard here!

2:53 am

*giggle* my job is done...i have blown the nasty dreams away....

2:54 am

sure did :D

2:55 am

just realised it has been ages since we had 'toea' in a grid. And 'etna' too, though not as long. Funny, that.

2:56 am

bite your tongue, or in this case, fingers. evil woman!! i always miss those wretched words...

2:57 am

I have given up spotting them a long time ago. I just enter them in every grid.

2:59 am

we really need jillibus back on-line to give us the heads up

3:00 am

so true. Our dear jilli.

3:00 am

i hope the book is worth it. hmmm must email her ....i think i owe her one.

3:00 am

which book?

3:01 am

she's writing a book about great danes.

3:01 am

oh wow. She is so multitalented, our jilli.

3:03 am

one of her loves, sprite

3:03 am

I know. She also made an amazing buste of one of them, have you ever seen it on her icon?

3:04 am

yes, i did sprite.

3:04 am

lovely, isn't it

3:05 am

i could never aspire to such a thing.

3:05 am

I love that woman. So active still at her age, and such an inspiration.

3:12 am

loverly grid, sprite? i enjoyed it, anyway. not too many weird words...

3:12 am

yes, it is indeed. Flying through it.

3:19 am

I'd say a toadame is a lady to4.

3:19 am

yup, absolutely...put it in the dictionary

3:19 am

:D

3:20 am

ok, done.

3:21 am

yay sprite....and so the dictionary grows...

3:22 am

I love it. So many great words collected already.

3:22 am

Good evening :)

3:22 am

*wonders* would ro4sot be the way home for a drunken person???

3:22 am

hi Liz :) *hug* for you and your husband.

3:22 am

g'day liz girl

3:22 am

Hugs to both of you.

3:23 am

how are you and yours, Liz?

3:24 am

We're well - busy day today - memorial service this afternoon, followed by a meeting. Just got home. It's cold and wet out but lovely indoors :)

3:24 am

fireflies

3:24 am

Hoping you're both well.

3:24 am

Congrats, Sprite

3:24 am

memorial service? Did I miss some bad news, Liz?

3:25 am

No - it's a Jewish tradition - a year after someone dies. This was the father of a friend.

3:25 am

and welcome home, where you can leave all cold and damp behind you :)

3:25 am

ah ok. What a lovely tradition.

3:26 am

It's nice because the person is remembered by family and friends - a bit more distant from the grief.

3:27 am

It's actually a "public" unveiling of the gravestone and is called a "Stonesetting"

3:27 am

yes, and it means there is support for the nearest survivors on that day too. Which is a tough day, especially the first year. And some people actually think or say here: "It's been a YEAR! Aren't you over it by now?"

3:28 am

And for my friend, it corresponded with Aussie father's day, which made it particularly poignant for her

3:28 am

am glad she had the support of her friends and family today.

3:28 am

WTG SPRITE!!

3:29 am

thanks :)

3:29 am

Hmmm! Quick first 100 for me. Slowed down now.

3:29 am

liz girl...so many beautiful ceremonies the christians left behind.

3:30 am

yeah it is a friendly grid today

3:30 am

good grief, sprite...i hope they don't say that.

3:31 am

I have to be off. A big *hug* to you both, and to your husband too, Liz. And one extra for Rose, cuz I have the feeling you need one :) To all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

3:31 am

enjoy your day, sprite. rest...and recover...xoxox

3:31 am

Hugs to you too Sprite - and an extra one for Rose.

3:31 am

Enjoy your day.

3:32 am

Have you had a tough day, rose?

3:32 am

some do, rose. Have heard it said about a friend of Cobi's and mine, who died way too young. People don't realise that you never really 'get over' losing someone very dear. It just gets more distant in time. Not necessarily easier though.

3:32 am

*poof*

3:32 am

Sadly, I've also heard that said.

3:35 am

liz, not particularly. my dad died 12 years ago...i do still miss him terribly. don's dad died a year later. still struggling with all the paperwork from centrelink.

3:35 am

Thought it might be paperwork! Like I said before, these places love paper - hate trees!

3:36 am

My mum died 26 years ago - miss her very much.

3:36 am

* giggle * liz...so true

3:38 am

you are one of the lucky ones then, liz. i only miss the concept of a mother, not the person who was my biological mother.

3:39 am

only one of my brothers misses her...but then i think his brain was affected by his birth.

3:40 am

Yes, i know i was very lucky. I feel cheated losing her so early.

3:40 am

She was 61.

3:41 am

i feel cheated with losing my dad. he was 75..awww liz girl...way too early

3:41 am

For both of us - and for them.

3:42 am

{{hugs}} liz girl. you are on my heart, de4.

3:42 am

Same, Rose :)

3:48 am

good morning

3:50 am

Hi and hugs, Ruby. Have you recovered from your visitor?

3:51 am

yes, but my husband is sad and weepy but still has time to be nasty....

3:52 am

My mother died before I came to France, and I miss her every day. But my father, who actually came to visit once when he was past 90 and with whom I wa very close, too, I think of, but not in the same,sad way I miss my mother

3:52 am

{{hugs}} ruby...please my de4...try and stand back...it is not your problem, de4.

3:52 am

It's tough for you, Ruby - sad about the nastiness but it's not down to you.

3:53 am

This morning, just after he got finished telling me how much he loves e, he called me a lying b***h because I (gently) reminded him that he hadn't filled the birdfeeder.

3:53 am

burt's perspective is not your perspective...

3:53 am

My dad only died 4 years ago - I also miss him but not in the same way, which is strange because in many respects I was a "daddy's girl".

3:54 am

me, too, liz. I was like the son he never had, did all the sports things with him. But my mother was my best friend. I was very lucky!

3:54 am

Mum became a best friend the more adult I became.

3:55 am

same with me.

3:55 am

I'd've loved her to have met my hubby.

3:57 am

Taking a break. Hugs and have a good day. Rose, enjoy your evening :)

3:57 am

you two are so fortunate. my mother was a narcissistic parent.

3:57 am

{{liz}}

3:57 am

thanx, liz girl. enjoy your eveniong.

3:58 am

ugh * evening *

3:58 am

it makes a huge difference in your whole life. Burt's mother was passive-aggressive and he learned that behavior from her.

4:01 am

how did you turn out to be so loving, rose?

4:07 am

ruby, my de4.....i decided very early on...not to be ever like my mother.

4:07 am

that must have been very difficult but "brava" to Rosie for accomplishing it. Most don'tt

4:07 am

to this day...for me to wear a skirt or a dress....it has to be a major event...

4:08 am

xoxox ruby...you are such a wonderful friend.

4:09 am

but not suc a good wife....

4:10 am

such*

4:12 am

awww ruby...you are a good wife...it is the male part which lacks the skills, de4.

4:13 am

I certainly can't make him happy any more

4:13 am

ruby, love...it would appear no-one can make him happy.

4:14 am

thank you, Rosie, but it's very hard to see him so sad and not be able to help in an honest way.

4:15 am

ruby, love....you know, in your heart...you have tried everything...it is not your fault, hun.

4:17 am

to change this awful subject, did you see my nudging abut the dog/spider video (found it in google). At least I got him to laugh

4:18 am

no, ruby...didn't see it. and don found a video of a kitten and a statue of a cat...very funny.

4:19 am

look for the spider/dog one. I laughed 'til I cried

4:21 am

ruby...speaking of laughing until you cry...please google robin williams in " the actors studio "...a must see

4:21 am

will do

4:22 am

you are a good fiend, rosie! Just wait 'ti you meet my pups!

4:22 am

lol...it will happen, ruby.

4:22 am

Fiend!!!

4:23 am

moi?

4:23 am

and i am hoping you mean fRiend, and not fiend...

4:23 am

hahaha

4:23 am

hahaha

4:23 am

4:27 am

4:28 am

4:28 am

e and s in 2nd column and all 8's

4:28 am

4:28 am

4:39 am

and you, my dear mate? is all well with you?? and this medical appointment sprite was chatting about, yesterday? what is that about?

4:39 am

Yes it is Sunday here too.Albeit morning.Very pleased to hear that.As it must be a daunting task to get through so much paperwork.Did you get the extention of another week to go through the extra paperwork you found?

4:41 am

zooz, will call the social work people tomorrow morning...fingers crossed...i sure hope so, mate.

4:41 am

I am OK thanks, Rose. Going to the carboot sales soon.Always crap yet we still enjoy it..lol

4:41 am

Yes that is about mental health issues, Rose. But awaiting to be seen about that :-)

4:42 am

lol, zooz...i love those type of sales.

4:43 am

* holds zooz up to my God * zooz, please know, you are being prayed for>

4:43 am

We always think we are going to find a bargain.But my father finds it hard to walk and there are so many people there, he tends to just about look down to see where his feet are going and not enough attention on what is on the stalls..lol

4:45 am

I am OK, Rose.Just a few niggly things in my head that is making me shun people more and more.Not in a spiteful way.Just do not like being around people..lol I will be OK

4:45 am

zooz...my de4 friend...please let me know...how can my prayers uphold you"

4:47 am

Well as you know I am not of the praying type.But I so appreciated your very kind helpful thoughts.Just being here when I feel like chatting is all I need :-)

4:48 am

I really am fine.When at home here or round parents I am me.Just when I have to go out on my own around people for some reason I feel threatened and vunerable..lol weird really.

4:50 am

Well enough negative talk.I always seem to land up talking negatively.Sorry to all other babblers.That is not my intention.I am off now as my lift will be here soon.Toodle pips, Rose :-)

4:52 am

zooz...what ever helps you, de4. positive thoughts are on your way.

5:20 am

5:20 am

Iam so sorry Rose so much have been done to you

5:21 am

Im doing okay--just been busy with all the things that need to be done around here---I see I missed zoom, has Sprite been on yet

5:23 am

yes, de4...it would be probalbly nicest to send her an email

5:25 am

I had trouble getting on babble this morning--the server kept saying it was throwing a fit

5:35 am

good morning everyone

5:35 am

Morning Crossy

5:36 am

ooohhh. g'day crossy

5:38 am

Rose, is there anything I can do to help you or do to make you feel better? Please say so friend

5:43 am

pugs, my de4....i have to weather this storm...on my own, with my beloved's help...*sigh * and you, sweetie? what can we, sprite, liz and i, do to help you through this time?

5:44 am

about in the same boat as you there Rose--just knowing you all are here is more then I can ask for--thanks

5:45 am

from your mouth to God's mind....thanx pugs.

5:46 am

and now it is time for an early morning Vrossy tidbit of the day!!... In the news I noticed mention of a fella who's puppy was not feeling well, so he had to take him to the vet. Poor thing was a tad listless and he was off his feed a tad which was a bit of a concern since great danes eat like horses. Anyways, they get the puppy in for x-rays and what do they find?... 47 socks!! The dog, over time had eaten 47 socks!! So they made a small incision and one at a time removed each one and now the pooch is doing fine and eating the owner, who now keeps his socks out of reach, out of house and home once again.

5:46 am

Crossy*

5:47 am

Iam putting all my things to have to do in a bucket and whatever I pull out is what Iam doing until its all done--lol I put up my shed keys before going on my trip and cant remember where I put them--lol

5:48 am

lol, crossy---poor puppy

5:48 am

lol, crossy....saw that in our news....

5:49 am

and here the guy thought the dryer was eating them...

5:49 am

ugh, pugs...i am hoping you will find them soon.

5:49 am

I once found my car keys in the fridge lol

5:50 am

me to Rose--lol Luckly Carol's hubby had a extra key so I was able to get the mower out

5:50 am

how did they get there Crossy-lol

5:50 am

crossy...over he4 it was 43 and 1/2 socks...they still didn't know where the half sock was...

5:51 am

I had carried in a bulky case of pop and had my keys in my other hand, i must of set the keys on the bottom shelf of the fridge when I slid in the case of pop and them forgotten about them

5:52 am

how long did it take you to find them--lol

5:52 am

when i was pregnant with number two son...i found my slippers in the fridge....and the margarine in the oven.

5:52 am

4 hours lol

5:53 am

lol Rose

5:53 am

well, at least you did not find son #1 in the oven

5:53 am

not remembering how many hours later it was.

5:53 am

roflol, crossy

5:53 am

well I have racked my brain to try remembering where I put the darn keys--and so far its a blank--lol

5:54 am

it will come to you when you are thinking of something totally different

5:54 am

lol Crossy- and Rose

5:55 am

pugs, sit quietly...think about the last time you used them....

5:56 am

I will try that Rose--thanks

5:57 am

well, at least you can make a copy from the other key

5:57 am

going to prepare the night-time meds.

5:57 am

true---okay Rose

5:58 am

are you and your wife in school now Crossy

5:59 am

I cannot tell you how many locks I have had to chop open with a pair of bolt cutters over the years:( I buy my locks in bulk:(

5:59 am

thanks for making me feel Iam not the only one on this issue Crossy--lol

5:59 am

yes, puglet and we sent my son back as well. Told him he was not going to spend the next 2 years just laying on the couch and eating all my food, so back he goes as well

6:00 am

great Crossy and wont hurt your son at all. Is your wife enjoying it

6:01 am

My beloved is enjoying it, but is hard at work wrapping her mind around schoolwork once again. You get rusty after 24 years, I know. last year it had been a 33 hiatus for me since I lad sat my but in a classroom

6:01 am

last

6:01 am

33 year*

6:02 am

thats understandable. Are you two taking the same classes

6:02 am

and you are right re: my son. Upgrading his skills will not hurt at all.. lazy slug that he is

6:03 am

No, she is taking a computer course to start with followed by a math or two. I am taking a university writers craft course

6:04 am

maybe he will meet someone there and find a reason to do something with his life and get out on his own. Its nice you all are upgrading your life. Lots of luck to you all.

6:06 am

yes, his compass needs a new direction. It is quite enjoyable and something the mrs and I should have done years ago, but life intervenes sometimes and we raised our son and saw him graduate high school first. Now it is our turn to do some things

6:06 am

Zoom is also back in school and not caring much for it but he's not quit and I also wish him the best as well. Not quiting is a big plus on anything

6:07 am

ahh, very nice. i think he told me that he was taking some mathematics courses

6:08 am

“If I had done this, if I had said that, in the end you are always more tormented by what you didn't do than what you did, actions already performed can always be rationalized in time, the neglected deed might have changed the world.” ― Damon Galgut

6:18 am

ahh.. no. That is a bit out of my budget

6:19 am

we are in the fifties this morning--such a nice break from the 80's and 90's

6:19 am

personally I do not see the sense in having something like that. I would buy it, and it would sit under glass and no one would tough it. i would be afraid to actually read the thing.

6:19 am

touch

6:20 am

12c here this morn

6:20 am

one day one of your works might be at such a place in the world.

6:21 am

had to think for a minute to convert.. 54 f lol

6:21 am

this summer has seemed to pass so fast this year

6:21 am

I can only wish

6:22 am

Everyone here found summer slow. All were excited to get the fall season underway.

6:22 am

its something one never knows Crossy--and it might be after you are gone but its possible

6:23 am

That will be the way of it. Die broke and get discovered 2 years after my death so my kid can swim in a ocean of 100 dollar bills in a swimming pool at his mansion lol

6:23 am

hello. back from lunch at Sprite's resto

6:23 am

((ruby))

6:24 am

{{pubs}} haven't seen you in ages.

6:24 am

6:24 am

{{crossy}}

6:24 am

you have a beautiful day Crossy--I need to head out to have coffee with my friends before they head home. Hugs and howdy Ruby--have missed you

6:24 am

and back...g'day pugs, crossy and ruby

6:24 am

I need to see a pub! Been dryer than a popcorn fart in this house lately. Not a blessed drop of adult beverage to be found

6:25 am

you take care puglet. nice chatting with you

6:25 am

I know Ruby--my job and all the going on in my life babbling is hard for me to get to

6:25 am

poor crossy.

6:25 am

tht's awful, crossy, that could never happen around here. Happily, guest usually bring booze and, in the worst case, there is always the cooking sherry or the liqueur-making plain alcohol

6:26 am

bye Rose, and Ruby and Crossy--love and hugs to you all--have a blessed day/evening

6:26 am

and there is always the (awful) wine in the cellar, most of which has turned but which is fine for sangria

6:27 am

It has gotten to the point that my aftershave is looking tasty lol

6:27 am

when I was teaching, there was a school sec'y who used to drink Listerine!\

6:27 am

** thinking i need to send ruby funds to stock the bar before our arrival*

6:27 am

lol! well, at least she always had minty fresh breath

6:28 am

not to worry, Rosie, we'll be well-stocked before your arrival.

6:28 am

byeeee pugs

6:28 am

exactly, crossy, no booze on her breath. Just a little stagger in her walk

6:29 am

Bfurt's daughter brought tequila, but we never got around to doing our shots.....

6:29 am

mayhap my stagger will be due to tiredness...lolol

6:30 am

of course!

6:31 am

darn planet is crokked again! Wish someone would fix that!

6:31 am

6:31 am

7:19 am

7:19 am

put the C in front, then next 4 letters of the country

7:19 am

That is a different clue crossy than the ce-pool

7:20 am

very odd.. I must be having a mental meltdown with this

7:21 am

i am totally lost

you have to do the plural, the singular doesn't work

7:21 am

joseph can you reclue it please?

7:21 am

7:21 am

7:22 am

7:24 am

E

7:24 am

Crossy mentioned the country name

7:24 am

puglet was set to tear up her lawn earlier lol

7:26 am

yes, estonia

7:26 am

I must need a tea..

It twists a weird way

If it helps its Spanish for basket

Do you have the one that is a unit of work?

7:31 am

ty sukee

7:31 am

i have er4

7:31 am

s

7:31 am

I can see a big CTV hot air balloon, landing nearby

7:31 am

oh that sounds so cool sukee

7:32 am

hi Frances

7:32 am

quick get the lawn darts!

7:32 am

I usually see a couple every weekend.

7:32 am

Lol, not that close :)

have you ever got to go in one

7:32 am

No, I am scared of heights.

7:33 am

I have. You all must put it on your bucket list

7:33 am

Oh, and it's up again.

7:33 am

riding the morning thermals

7:33 am

Every time I think I might try it, there is an accident :)

7:33 am

cross i am so jealous. every year in Iowa they have a big send off of hot air balloons

7:33 am

sukee no you are afraid of falling

7:34 am

Just remember, to put your mind at ease that if the operator messes up, he is going down with you:)

7:34 am

Yes, that is it :)

7:34 am

It's actually coming closer.

7:35 am

is it two ma 8's?

7:35 am

I read somewhere that the skin of a fully inflated hot air balloon can hold 800 pounds of water weight in morning dew condensation alone. As it burns off, the operator must make several adjustments

7:36 am

i saw on a program once tow peopel sitting on the outside of a hot air balloon toasting with champagne

7:37 am

that would be a precarious perch!

7:37 am

OK, not CTV. Looks like the call numbers of a radio station.

7:37 am

you couldnt pay me to do something like that. it even showed them climbing up to get to the top of it

7:37 am

If I went up, I would be sitting on the floor of the basket :)

7:38 am

The mrs and i had the time of our life

7:38 am

lol sukee

7:38 am

cross how long of a balloon ride was it?

7:39 am

After my last cancer I did bungee jumping, did the hot air balloon and flew in a bi-plane :)

7:39 am

was for an hour

the only trouble is the operater being there, i would think that would be awkward for romance

7:39 am

ask him to turn around and look at the scenery for 15 minutes lol

7:39 am

nice ride for an hour:)

7:40 am

Bungee jumping.. NO thank you

7:40 am

Only once for me on that, never again!! Almost peed myself

7:40 am

I know I would have...

7:41 am

I am going to go make some breakfast, the last two Q words will have to wait.

7:41 am

oh, and did the complementary sky-dive at the local airport strapped to an instructor

7:41 am

cross i think that is one of the dumbest adventurous things to do ever!

7:41 am

bye sukee

7:42 am

after spending a total of 5 years having cancer try to kill me, it was not so bad;)

7:43 am

lol cross

7:43 am

a side effect is you lose your fear of trying new things:0

7:44 am

I would try scuba diving, but greenpeace would be getting false alarms all the time:)

7:45 am

"Another call on a beached whale, that guy must be diving again.."

7:47 am

i would love to do that cross but i want to go in that thing that Cameron did when he took his last dive to see what was left of the Titanic

7:49 am

just got the re 6/7

7:52 am

lol,MLF. would not get me in that thing. The one he used to dive the Mariana trench??? no way!

7:52 am

Crossy is a bit claustrophobic...

7:52 am

wherever the Titanic is yes it was a ball i think or sphere they went in?

7:53 am

a regular submarine is fine though

7:53 am

i am always afraid one of those would come apart while diving

7:53 am

If it does, you will not have time to worry about it

7:54 am

i dont swim cross

7:54 am

i mean can't

7:54 am

That is interesting. The US Navy will not let people with claustrophobic tendencies on submarines.

7:54 am

a submersable, at those depths, if it failed you would be crushed to a fine pastes.. no swimming needed

7:54 am

lol I wonder why?

7:55 am

cross ya think?

7:55 am

molly i should hope not

7:56 am

I've been on one, in port, and that was enough for me.

7:56 am

In vacation spots like Jamacia, they have tourist subs with large glass viewport and they run at 20-50 feet so you can see the sights. That is enough for me

7:58 am

does anyone have teh two ge 5/14 words?

7:58 am

kind of interesting cross

7:59 am

I thought my kitchen was small until I saw what a kitchen on a submarine looks like.

one ge is a plural of the one above it and you add a vowel to the word above the other one

there's a 3rd ge 5/14: ge + double cons. + vowel

8:01 am

ge5/14 isn't a plural of ge4/7

8:01 am

luv i have one ending in a vowel

8:02 am

ge 4/7 is a plural

it's a plural of a ge 4/6

sorry gr 4/6

8:03 am

i have that one

8:03 am

i am missing one more g word

see my clue @ 8:01

8:04 am

phew got it ty luv

8:08 am

your clue at 07:59 was painful, Luv lol. I have not listed so have no idea what is above or under who:)

sorry crossy, I was mistaken on one anyways it was a gr not a ge

8:09 am

cross the one ending in a vowel?

8:09 am

though i found the one clued at 08:01 ty

8:09 am

i mean ge 5/14's both end in vowels

the ge's are ge 4/7, ge 5/14 ge 4/6, and ge 5/14

8:10 am

and the gr 5 ends in an s

the ge 4/6 sounds like a visitor in your home and add a vowel to that

8:11 am

ty

8:15 am

are teh MA7's and 8's similar? i have ma 6 7 8 7?

8:15 am

NBT for Crossy

8:15 am

8:16 am

8:17 am

cross does it begin with ma6?

8:17 am

yup

8:18 am

think it is a Poe story as well

8:19 am

and the others seem to be letters of old written by kings so guys like Columbus could take over countries

8:19 am

i think i have the start or complete of the first set of MA 7/8's?

8:19 am

"letters of ma6/30 and pl

8:21 am

one in that group ends with a dbbl cons mlf

8:21 am

ma 8/60

8:22 am

teh ma 8 8 have does not end in a double cons

8:23 am

my 8/60 does

8:23 am

MA 8 sorry

8:23 am

the first ma 8/60 ends in a double consonant

8:23 am

mine is a plural

8:23 am

8:24 am

8:43 am

8:43 am

sc8 has been in grids before

8:43 am

its a great word... very american yiddish

8:43 am

I am sure it has

8:45 am

lots of oddball words make it in here:)

8:45 am

It is kind of native to New York and surrounding areas, but the bagel places around here use it

8:45 am

and not all are real either

8:45 am

next time I am in NY I shall have to remember that

8:46 am

sc7 means to spread in Yiddish

8:46 am

the word reminds me of a dog trying to itch his butt on the carpet by dragging himself and he left a sc8 lol

8:47 am

to spread cream ch6 onto a bagel as in "give me a schmeer" very colorful

8:47 am

Everyone can toss their breakfast bagels now

8:47 am

finall i can type words in the grid

8:47 am

sadly there is no yiddish community in these parts;)

8:47 am

10:07 am

Cats walk their own course and sometimes care not for what we think:)

10:27 am

Hello Crossie, I love the Lily Braun books about the siamese cats.

10:27 am

howdy, christa

10:31 am

Quote for the day: "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."

10:32 am

I love that book.

10:32 am

Pure inspiration......

10:33 am

He's on OWN, Super Soul Sunday today being interviewed by Oprah.

10:33 am

Did you know this was only his second book?

10:35 am

...and the title is a phantom here today.

10:41 am

((mimi))

10:42 am

((crossy)) How are you today?

10:43 am

Doing well, mimi and indeedoft times the horrors we dream up ahead of time end up being greater than the eventual reality

10:44 am

I try to put my worries in their own compartments and never pull them out till they need to be examined. drives my beloved nuts as she is a glass is half empty type, and loves to fret, but i am changing her

10:45 am

So true...good thing to learn. I'm having an inner battle today and am trying to do a lot of self-talk to deal with it. I will be successful.

10:45 am

of course you will

10:46 am

One of the (very) few benefits of aging is that when we have a history of success we tend to believe in ourselves more and worry less.

10:46 am

It doesn't help my situation that I tend to be a right fighter, believe me!

10:49 am

how many left fighters are there here?

10:50 am

besides Knighttime :D

10:50 am

Oh, yes...dyslexic right fighters...

10:51 am

that's funny mimi.. some people here don't know left from right :D

10:53 am

...or wrong from right? Now that can be quite a discussion...but not today....not in the mood.

10:54 am

I would not be the person to comment of wrong from right.. almost anything goes for me

10:55 am

I'm right there with you on that one, ruru.

10:55 am

People who speak in terms of "absolutes" frighten me....

10:56 am

there's a t-shirt

10:56 am

Mimi, about Paulo Coelho, I admire someone who can say that much with so few words.

10:57 am

That's what I appreciated about Slingblade molly

10:57 am

The t-shirt I really want to make is one with the word "crap" on it with the red circle with the line drawn through it over the "crap." Since I've often said I've reached my crap quota for life, it would be appropriate.

10:57 am

Yes, Molly...to be concise as well as prophetic..an art.

10:58 am

Ah, Slingblade. I am always emotionally wrung out after watching that movie. A classic.

10:59 am

Molly, do have the OWN channel? You would LOVE this interview/conversation..it is part 1 today and part 2 next Sunday. I think you can also pull it up online.

10:59 am

They also do a beautiful mini-tour of Geneva, where he lives.

11:01 am

No Mimi, I am not an Oprah person

11:01 am

I'm more of a Harpo person

11:02 am

This should be an exception, Molly...trust me.

11:02 am

Oh, you, ruru!

11:02 am

wants to see the episode of Iylana fix my life filmed at Molly's house

11:03 am

Now THAT would be must-see TV!!

11:04 am

Iylana to Molly: "here Molly hold this string" Molly To Iylana.. "put this string...

11:05 am

I'm so glad I got my head out of my ass long enough to appreciate our Molly!

11:05 am

me too.. but I never had my head up my ass though

11:06 am

It's very fragrant.

11:06 am

*prints We Love Molly T-Shirts *

11:06 am

...with my "no more crap" on the back...

11:07 am

LOLOL

11:07 am

Now my day is made...I got LOL from ruru!!!

11:08 am

11:08 am

Needed that...tough couple of days emotionally....better now.

11:08 am

wassup>?

11:08 am

I almost didn't join the chat today...glad I did.

11:10 am

Inner struggles...trying to adjust my attitude. I need to switch from a carburetor to a catalytic converter in my head. (Whatever THAT means)

11:11 am

ok..

11:11 am

don't we all have inner struggles though?

11:12 am

Molly hasn't commented on the Iylana Joke.. she's researching who Iylana is

11:12 am

Oh, yes...especially those of us blessed/cursed with awareness.

11:12 am

((Mimi))

11:13 am

ya know mimi.. as I have gotten older .. I am more direct about things and saying what I think, and then you don't have to keep it and bury it

11:13 am

I would be surprised if she didn't already know...Molly has much knowledge--"Gilmore Girls."

11:13 am

((zooz)) So good to see you here!! How goes it?

11:13 am

I think Iylana fix my life would make Molly ill

11:13 am

I am OK, Mimi, Thanks :-)

11:14 am

Just thought I would give you a healing type hug :-)

11:14 am

are you Christ come back to the earth Zooz?

11:15 am

Me, too, ruru. And it helps to have the confidence of self-esteem. My singing has even improved as I've grown as a person...I enjoy it more because I'm not doing it for approval....just for joy.

11:15 am

Thanks, zooz...always appreciated.

11:15 am

*looks at Line of Babblers looking for Healing hugs*

11:15 am

No I am not a religious type person. Just one human being trying to say I care :-)

12:45 pm

:P

12:46 pm

I wouldn't mind being OCD if I were that handsome

12:51 pm

12:52 pm

Well.. after those epic battles at Wimbledon.. I don't think anyone doubts that Molly

12:52 pm

conditioning can be looked at in very different ways....strength, stamina....

12:52 pm

nishikori this week was phenomenal....

12:53 pm

I was surprised Roger lost too.. I thought he was going to take this tournament

12:53 pm

12:54 pm

nishikori was indeed remarkable

12:54 pm

i lost a lot of sleep to watch him, lol....

12:54 pm

I played 5 sets in a tournament Molly once.. and thought about going to the hospital afterwards.. Nadal makes it look like he took a jog around the block

12:55 pm

try playing five sets and playing until 2 am....

12:55 pm

I don't question that the guy is in phenomenal shape. I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying the best conditioned athlete in the world though.

12:55 pm

I know .. and at that level unreal

12:56 pm

1:24 pm

I don't like touch screen. I don't like fingerprints all over my screen.

1:24 pm

1:24 pm

1:27 pm

i have to tell you -- tech guy finished setting everything up yesterday -- sooo last nite i was totally engrossed in looking at all the features, being able to speeeed along on various websites, etc. -- then i glanced down and saw that i had a half-eaten tootsie roll pop sticking to the front of my shirt -- no telling how long it had been there LOL!!!

1:27 pm

When my kids were old enough to want cell phones and computers, they were old enough to get jobs and pay for them themselves.

1:28 pm

LOL une

1:28 pm

Oh Une, he is going to be telling stories about you for years.

1:28 pm

1:28 pm

1:32 pm

*tried to picture Une in a plaid dress outfit*

1:32 pm

1:32 pm

1:34 pm

I would have been a lousy catholic

1:34 pm

worst thing about windows 8 is having to get rid of all the crapware that is preloaded....

1:34 pm

i was so stoopid about catholicism (lived in small southern hole in the wall) when the catholic priest offered latin lessons at the church after school, i walked in expecting to be greeted by a clone of the pope! LOL

1:35 pm

i wore plaid! :-)

1:35 pm

laundry...brb to find my last ten ....

1:35 pm

crapware like ONe Note?

1:37 pm

it's in Windows 7..

1:37 pm

I print a lot of attachments and it interferes with that process

1:37 pm

I have no Idea why it is in there.. it is really annoying

1:38 pm

I have found that no matter what the system, you have to tailor it to your likes and dislikes. And you want annoying? Try the stupid charms bar in 8.1. And there is no way to disable it.

1:38 pm

what's it supposed to do?

1:38 pm

speaking of preloaded crap -- anyone figured out how to get rid of optimum pro?

1:38 pm

what's a Charms Bar?

1:39 pm

charms?

1:39 pm

It's a side task bar that pops up every time your cursor goes near the sides or corners of the screen.

1:39 pm

3:26 pm

amazing, crossy!

3:29 pm

I thought so as well:)

3:29 pm

I used to think that my knives were sharp... I was wrong:)

3:31 pm

yup...

4:57 pm

Hahaha...every time someone uses the term "yup", I am reminded of a collection of photographs called "Yup, That's A Redneck" http://tinyurl.com/q5hugyb

5:04 pm

hello, babblers.

6:53 pm

Interesting... I have been using the Google Ad-block and Ad-Block Plus in conjunction with Stumble Upon and random web investigations for well over 6 years now. Up until the last year or two, the total ads blocked on a typical stumble Upon site has been 25-200, and accounts for banner ad, pop-up ads, as well as side-bar ads that vary every time you long on, depending on you internet surfing history. However, in the last 6 months I have seen the total of ads blocked per visit soar to over 500 junk ads per visit!! No wonder our computers bog down on us without ad protection!

6:54 pm

log on*

6:56 pm

HI all :)

6:56 pm

howdy liz

6:57 pm

Hi Crossy - that's quite a statistic!

6:58 pm

I was just watching the number skyrocket here as ad-block was stopping them. I had never noticed till now how high they were getting!

6:59 pm

I had a go at removing all the ads around my fb page - succeeded! But went to the UK and by the time I came back, so had more ads, so I gave up!

6:59 pm

you use chrome?

7:00 pm

I use a mac - use safari. Hubby uses start page and has no ads.

7:00 pm

ahh ok then. I do not now what the ad block plug-in are for a mac

7:00 pm

know*

7:01 pm

It's not too bad though and I clean-up quite regularly.

7:01 pm

I have never owned a mac. I like being able to open up the side of my rig and tear the guts out of them if needed:)

7:02 pm

We've been totally mac for about 3 years now - wouldn't go back.

7:02 pm

But if you're into the mechanics, I can understand what you're saying.

7:03 pm

I've been on mac air now for about 4 years - can't imagine going back to a hard drive - so slow

7:03 pm

For example, had a cpu fan fail last month. Opened the side of the tower.. 30 seconds.. removed defective fan 1 minute,, went down to store got new fans.. cost 4 dollars time 5 minutes, put new fan in.. 1 minutes total down time less than 30 minutes and cost less that 10 bucks:)

7:04 pm

mac air was our last purchase before we travelled to Canada / Alaska last year - to download all the thousands of pics we took!

7:04 pm

but i would loooove a nice solid state hdd;)

7:04 pm

amazing, isn't it, liz?

7:04 pm

easy to get spoiled

7:05 pm

Love it. Also my iPad and my phone too. Feel very spoiled :)

7:05 pm

that si one thing i will gove them. nothing kicks butt like a solid state drive.

7:05 pm

give

7:06 pm

lol, my hard rive still sounds like a jet engine coming up to speed;))

7:06 pm

drive

7:06 pm

I noticed the difference in noise and in the heat that was coming out too!

7:07 pm

As well as the speed and the intuitive use.

7:07 pm

yes, no moving parts often = less heat

7:07 pm

I just love no start up time, instantly up

7:07 pm

and the small form factor means better air circulation

7:07 pm

Just love it - full stop!

7:07 pm

my hard drive phones E.T first then starts up:)

7:08 pm

My phone contract expires next May - will be interested to see new iPhone, with larger screen.

7:08 pm

which one do you have now, liz?

7:08 pm

5

7:08 pm

I cannot wait for my phone contract to expire. Did the math and the cost for the luxury is just insane.

7:08 pm

mine expires next dec

7:09 pm

longest 3 years of my life:(

7:09 pm

We have an amazing package - includes phones, cable TV and broadband.

7:09 pm

me too - went from the 3s to the 5, skipped 5s, will likely get 6 since my screen is broken and all

7:09 pm

not going to have a cell phone, cross?

lots of competition herer for providers right now, esp for multiple lines.

7:09 pm

the 5 was my first iPhone - never saw the need for a smart phone - now can't live without it!

7:10 pm

I will get a pay-as- you- go phone and I did the math and will save almost 1000 dollars per year

7:10 pm

whoa!

7:10 pm

I barely pay $1000/yr

7:10 pm

That's a huge saving.

7:10 pm

how can it be that much, cross?

7:11 pm

our provider have a death grip on the market: Rogers, bell canada, and sprint

7:11 pm

I am paing 100 per month+tax for two smart phones

7:11 pm

paying

7:11 pm

(I have a huge data plan since I tether to it quite a bit, and mine isn't as much as yours)

7:12 pm

so 1300 a year, give or take

7:12 pm

I use att

7:12 pm

Got to go empty a wall unit of glasses. Hubby renovating! Enjoy your evenings.

7:12 pm

AT&T stops at the border

7:12 pm

tc liz

7:13 pm

gn liz

7:13 pm

Im with virgin mobile canada crossy...a bit better rates

7:14 pm

well, we shall see what ayear brings. My phone is in fine shape and i will not need to sell my soul for the latest greatest model,so it will be interesting to see what plan they come up with

7:15 pm

my 4s model runs as fine as the day I first got it:)

7:16 pm

and the idea of walking around with a "phablet" does not do it for me:)

7:16 pm

fw

7:16 pm

thing would pull my pants down if i put it in my pocket lol

7:16 pm

Oh i will be getting new apple stuff next week...but not my phone...i have the first 5 version and it works good enough

7:17 pm

yaaa for kje!

7:17 pm

must run - hagn all

7:18 pm

saw some girl in class pull out this monster of a smart phone and at first i thought she was holding her tablet up to the side of her head:)

7:19 pm

Samsung...too big to even hold right

7:19 pm

yes, was samsung

7:19 pm

Cero

7:20 pm

Crazy ass thing

7:20 pm

not for me ty

7:21 pm

Me either..and its sad but i really like apple

7:21 pm

I will make it my mission to see how long I can make this 4s last. it will all depend on battery degradation and storage capacity over time. They typicall lose 30% after 3 years

7:22 pm

Well fortunately i just got a free battery replacement on my phone...so mine is like brwnd new even tho its over 2 years old now

7:22 pm

very nice:)

7:23 pm

Yup..i though so :)

7:23 pm

The pros say do not just continually "top up" your phone. totally drain it at least once a week for optimum battery life

7:24 pm

Yup..i dont purposely do that...it just happens

7:24 pm

yes, we are all guilty of that

grrr, two words are being obstinate a nd refusing to come out.

greetings all

scintillating conversation!

Silence? :P

um, yup!

scintillating silence, then LOL

is golden :-) hi Gwen and neil

hi diane

Well yeah... could be much worse. And hi, Diane. :)

I haven't seen you in ages, Neil.... I hope your life is going well.

Very well thanks... been super busy.

I think your brother is doing VERY well also!

Yeah... he's been having fun. Maybe even nearly as much fun as I have! :P

All good !

Yeah. Except I'm too tired for anything this evening. Can't stop yawning and nodding off. Time for bed soon before I pass out on my keyboard.

But if I go this early I'll be up at 2am. :P

And I just got back to the grid and finished it after a busy day; time to relax and watch some TV with hubby. Enjoy the game, if you can stay awake !!

night night, everyone.

Nice... congrats, Diane. And good night.

HI ALL. ANY CLUES FOR THE 8S? just trying now to do some grid.

10:39 pm

is anyone there to give clues? need clues for the 8s please.

10:44 pm

hi all. it says 75 players are on line. anyone of you have any clues for the 8s? i dont have any of them yet.

10:45 pm

hi mkg, sorry I was multi-tasking

10:46 pm

both ma8's are plurals. think when you're name is in lights, it's on a ma7, and noodle around from there

10:47 pm

Then think if a raccoon was born without spots on his eyes, she might go to a shop and buy a ma6 from a ma7

10:48 pm

for sc7, pluralize a yiddish word, think how you would spread cheese on your bagel

10:49 pm

jane got the name in lights place and it is a 7. no S nearby. also the raccoon ma**** is a 6 and plural a 7. sorry.

10:49 pm

sc is indeed an 8. ty.

10:50 pm

the person the raccoon BUYS the ma from is also ma7

10:51 pm

on the other one, add a double letter to the end

10:51 pm

hmmm will search. ty.

10:51 pm

ma7 has a double vowell, ma 8 has a double consonant

10:51 pm

take me seriously when i say noodle around.

10:52 pm

ty jane. got ma the raccoon one. looking for other. ty.

10:53 pm

the name in lights clue: i am trying but if i put the double vowel at the end then no S is near. so i am confused.

10:54 pm

ok, so put a double consonant on one, and a double vowel on the other one.....

10:54 pm

got it! double cons. not double vowel. super great.

10:54 pm

ty ty

10:55 pm

there IS one with a double consonant on the end. Really there is!

10:55 pm

the 7 has the double vowel and the 8 has double cons.

10:55 pm

ty

10:55 pm

ty

10:56 pm

no, there is a 7 with a double vowel. it can't be pluralized

10:56 pm

oh yah, what you just said....

10:57 pm

well got all the 8s so i am in good shape.

10:57 pm

10:57 pm

10:57 pm
