hello friends

1:04 am

hi Triffles :) *hug*

1:05 am

hi Trif

1:05 am

can't sleep again....boo

1:06 am

:( insomnia sucks

1:06 am

Hi Trif - sorry you can't sleep. Like Sprite says, that sucks

1:06 am

I will sleep later. thank goodness for babble!

1:07 am

there are worse things than a friendly babble in the middle of a quiet night

1:07 am

babble is a good thing :D

1:07 am

I think if I started playing babble in the middle of the night, I'd never get to sleep!

1:08 am

How was your night, Sprite?

1:08 am

I does work eventually, lizlin....i think its the quiet repetition of looking, maybe, or the reassurance of friends

1:09 am

Reassurance friends I can understand. But focussing on words would wake me!

1:09 am

just the fact that there is good company to be had, even in the middle of the night... that is great

1:10 am

That's very true.

1:10 am

my night was good. No horrible dreams and not waking up every 15 mins. Thanks :) How are you and your husband doing, Liz?

1:10 am

great indeed

1:10 am

We're fine - he's deep into the house renovations.

1:11 am

That's good, Sprite.

1:12 am

good to hear. And nice, sounds like he has a good speed going.

1:12 am

I'm happy for you Sprite, for the better sleeeps

1:12 am

yes, that is good to hear sprite

1:13 am

Sleep would be good ..

1:13 am

He's pretty determined! He finished our bedroom and is now working on the dining room. Don't know what idiots built that - really poor workmanship.

1:13 am

hi torgone! glad you liked my facebook pic :)

1:13 am

hi torg :)

1:13 am

thanks saan :)

1:14 am

Heyas kids ..

1:14 am

and the mess isn't driving you crazy yet, Liz? And the noise?

1:14 am

SpaceX launch just happened ..

1:14 am

hiya torg!

1:15 am

Little mess and little noise!

1:15 am

wow, sounds like the ideal renovating project

1:15 am

Mostly painting. The noisy stuff - the wooden frames etc. is all outside.

1:15 am

I dont know what that is, tor - explain?

1:17 am

Commercial vehicle resupplying the International Space Station .. Launched from the USA ..

1:18 am

ah! did the launch go well?

1:19 am

Perfectly, apparently

1:19 am

that is good news.

1:19 am

so good to hear....MAN do I wish you and I lived closer! My sisters gave me two tickets to David Bowie Is...on Tuesday, and you would be so great to see it with, Torgone

1:21 am

Bowie would be a fun show ..

1:21 am

torg is checking time tables now

1:21 am

hahaha sprite

1:22 am

Unfortunately, I'm already booked for a trip to Victoria BC on Monday ..

1:23 am

well, whilst I will of course, miss you terribly, that sounds like a fantastic trip! have you been there before?

1:25 am

I haven't, but it looks like I may be going that way some more in the future ..

1:25 am

is this a business trip?

1:26 am

I love Victoria - great place. If you have time and like whales, there's a good trip to see the resident Orcas. There are 3 resident pods there.

1:26 am

Yep ..

1:26 am

that sounds great liz! one of my goals for the last half of my life is to really focus on travel....

1:26 am

Something we've started to do, Trif.

1:27 am

why wait until then, Trif? Go now :)

1:27 am

even if its local, I want to stop just working on the house weekends. that is important, of course, but I would like more balance

1:27 am

Liz traveled all the way to the netherlands :D

1:27 am

that is now, sprite

1:28 am

torg, there any many babblers in and around Victoria

1:28 am

Just me or no Lickety ??

1:28 am

nah, not for another 20 years at least, Trif ;)

1:28 am

To see you - it was worth it, sprite.

1:28 am

no lickety, lexi

1:28 am

nope. today, in fact, sprite

1:28 am

gremlinn has a list

1:28 am

boo :(

1:28 am

I loved every minute of it, Liz

1:28 am

thanks!!

1:29 am

Same here :)

1:29 am

"no lickety lexi" is fun to say

1:29 am

Just not really long enough.

1:29 am

hahaha

1:29 am

happy birthday Triffles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I still say you are in the bloom of your life

1:29 am

thanks sprite!!! And yes, I am still abloom

1:30 am

Happy Birthday, Trif :)

1:30 am

for a present, may I please have a nudge for the two single o's?

1:30 am

no, if we ever can, Liz, we must meet for longer. My dream is to travel to australia some day and visit you and rose.

1:31 am

thanks lizlin

1:31 am

Bottom o is od 7, trif - more often with a de in front.

1:31 am

od7/32 for the lower one, od4/5 for the upper ..

1:31 am

bottom one is od7/32

1:31 am

I hope you make that dream a reality, Sprite.

1:32 am

or what torg said, lol

1:32 am

thanks friends! got the lower one....lets' see....

1:32 am

and the top one! nbt for me

1:32 am

it is purely a money issue, Liz. Who knows, if my book sells in america :D

1:33 am

WTG, trif

1:33 am

yay Trif!

1:33 am

That would be soooo good, sprite.

1:33 am

enable has no love for Yoda :)

1:33 am

yeah it would. *fingers crossed*

1:33 am

On all counts - hope your book sells. Looking forward to reading it too.

1:33 am

Also tried Yoda.

1:34 am

of course tried Yoda. Even though it has a capital. Because if an8 is valid, all bets are off.

1:35 am

Bet most people tried Yoda.

1:35 am

hehehe yeah I think so too

1:35 am

I refrained this time, heh

1:35 am

such self control!

1:36 am

Enable also doesn't have the compound word wo8

1:36 am

oh hey -speaking of books...I tutored a girl all last year in French. Two weeks ago her mom shows up at my door, GUSHING over Outlander, and pressing a copy into my hands, saying I just HAVE to read it...apparently she "thought of me" all through it, and just HAD to get me a copy. Okay. So I read it. Enjoyable enough, but steamy! Seriously- "50 Shades of Plaid" could be the subtitle. Slightly confused that this mom "thought of me" the whole time.....

1:37 am

lol!!!! No accounting for the way some people think!!

1:37 am

lol Trif! Wonderful series. And nothing wrong with a bit of steam. Lol @ 50 shades of plaid... and maybe she has a hidden crush on you.

1:38 am

cooee and g'day from me

1:38 am

or, more innocently: the protagonist is a very strong woman... and so are you...

1:38 am

hello rose *hugs* dear friend. How are you today?

1:38 am

maybe....or maybe she wishes I would just touch a rock and vanish?

1:38 am

hello rose!

1:39 am

Hi Rose

1:39 am

{{hugs}} dear sprite. still cruising. another good night and day.

1:39 am

never, Trif

1:39 am

hello trif, and g'day liz girl

1:39 am

And also bye - don't take offence! Time for me to be out of here for a while. Hugs to all

1:39 am

oh am so glad, rose! How wonderful.

1:40 am

But good to read that first, Rose :)

1:40 am

good bye lovely lizlin

1:40 am

later liz xoxox

1:40 am

bye Liz *hugs* for you and yourh usband

1:41 am

i have had just a few muscle tremors in the back muscles, and no pain to speak of in my shins.

1:41 am

wow, that is progress

1:42 am

and i am still cold....whee!

1:43 am

awesome :) Lol I had hot flashes all evening (hormonal ones) and went to sleep with the ventilator on.

1:44 am

so this is the end of day 5. tomorrow is when things have been starting to fall down again. but i feel so good today, compared to the same time last week.

1:45 am

looks like it works longer and better every time

1:46 am

yeah, it would be difficult to differentiate between hot flushes and CSS symptoms. have you had your hormone levels checked?

1:46 am

what is CSS, if you don't mind me asking?

1:47 am

not really, rose, menopauze is not strange at my age, so I kind of take it as is.

1:47 am

central sensitivity syndrome, trif

1:47 am

ty

1:48 am

might be a good idea, sprite. that's when the penny dropped for me, that i was going through something other than menopause. the 'hot flushes' continued even when on HRT.

1:48 am

ok rose, will suggest it next time I have bloodwork done

1:50 am

trif, google CSS, hun. i was surprised at the correlation between the symptoms listed and what i was enduring.

1:50 am

absolutely

1:51 am

are the 8 and the 9 related?

1:51 am

i have the nine....

1:51 am

unrelated

1:51 am

not at all, Trif

1:52 am

ta

1:57 am

fireflies

1:57 am

huzzah for sprite!!!! well done!

1:57 am

WTG SPRITE!!!!

1:58 am

My baby's middle name is in the grid today :)

1:59 am

i am going to try to sleep. night all

2:20 am

LOOKS LIKE I MISSED SPRITE'S EXIT. PHONE CALL INTERRUPTED. I HOPE SHE HAS A LOVELY DAY.

2:20 am

5:44 am

g'day crossy. how are you, my friend? and how is the other half?

5:44 am

babble had the most humongous hiccup before.

5:44 am

I am well as is my better half:) and how are you this fine sunday morning/ evening?

5:45 am

crossy, the magnesium infusions are working a treat. i feel so much better, not just physically but mentally/emotionally as well.

5:47 am

I am so glad for you. It is incredible how undending pain/discomfort can degrade our quality of life in not only the large ways but in a wide variety of little ways that we do not notice untill the burden is removed.

5:47 am

unending*

5:48 am

exactly, crossy. for the first time in ages i am thinking clearly, and moving easily. bring on next wednesday...

5:49 am

That's my girl! Kick Butt!

5:49 am

brb, must put the kettle on

5:49 am

* giggle * i'm baaaack!!

Clues are up

6:15 am

Thanks! so much, Lickety

6:15 am

yay you lickety.

6:15 am

Thanks! so much, Lickety

6:17 am

g'day annie

6:19 am

hi there granny, have a wedding to attend at 11:00AM

6:19 am

nice, annie. i'll keep quiet and let you babble on, then.

6:20 am

going to start getting myself in gear

6:20 am

be back later, have a good sleep, granny

6:20 am

Hello, everyone!

6:20 am

So glad you're feeling better, rose!

6:21 am

g'day mimi...and thanx...it's been a long time coming

6:22 am

and how are you today, mimi?

6:22 am

I know exactly what you're saying, rose. I suffered from back pain for years.

6:23 am

I'm really good, thanks. Had a lovely afternoon with my daughter yesterday. She brought me the most thoughtful little gift just for no reason at all....those are the best kind.

6:23 am

that is lovely, mimi. what did she bring you?

6:25 am

Disneyland used to have these little fiber optic wands that changed colors but the discontinued them. The last couple of times she went she couldn't find them and she knew I really wanted one. She found something very similar which is actually better because it's free-standing. Lights up, changes colors, very cheerful.

6:26 am

lol...i bet it gives you at lot of happiness. as you say...the thought behind the gift is what touches us the most. i hope you gave her a big hug.

6:27 am

I had a few things for her as well. I see things I know she'll like and save them until she comes over and then load her down!

6:28 am

For so long I had no money and couldn't do anything for myself or anyone else. It feels good to be able to show thoughtfulness again.

6:28 am

how perfectly lovely to see such a relationship between you two. i am so envious...

6:29 am

She wasn't talking to me for a couple of years....it's good to have her back and have our relationship on the mend. She's confiding in me again, which is what I really hoped for.

6:31 am

that gives me hope for my son and me. he hasn't spoken to me for nearly ten years.

6:32 am

Isn't that just the most painful thing in the world? My middle child (son) isn't speaking to me currently and that has been going on for over a year....I have no idea why either...I didn't do anything. All three of mine have been very harsh with me and I honestly do not think I deserved it. I love them, of course, but not the same way I used to. My love isn't unconditional anymore because they hurt me so terribly. I was actually suicidal there for awhile.

6:33 am

The only good thing about it is that nothing gets to me anymore because compared to that, I can handle anything.

6:35 am

oh, darling....we could be twins. i have tried to understand what is hurting my son....the other two can shed no light either. it is almost as if he thinks it was my fault that the ex was so cruel and abusive. the sad thing is, when i see him at a family do, i think, who is that stranger?

6:37 am

I was always so close to my daughter, especially, and for her to turn away from me so completely was devastating to me...and after a heart attack! One day they'll realize what they did and be sorry...I hope it's before I die so they can make amends.

6:37 am

For their sake, not mine.

6:38 am

Yes, we could be twins! My other two don't understand my middle child either!

6:42 am

{{hugs}} mimi. my sentiments exactly. i have been newly diagnosed with heart failure. i don't want my son to have to carry a guilt because he let me die, without making any moves to reconciliation.

6:44 am

I was raised by my grandmother and she died when I was just 22. I was never mean to her but I was neglectful...she always encouraged me to go and do and be. I never got to tell her how much I appreciate her. I'll carry that regret all my life.

6:46 am

* rueful grin * my dad died before i could tell him i had forgiven him for a childhood abuse. i truly regret that.

6:46 am

OK..here's a woo woo kind of story for you. I'm not religious but am very spiritual. After my mother died, I could "feel" her with me many times. That went on for years and sometimes it was almost like if I turned around really quickly, I'd see her, but that never happened..just the feeling. Then one day I was in the shower and VERY pregnant with my first child and I "felt" her kiss me on the cheek and leave. I never felt her with me again. I guess she felt I was OK now and went on to fulfill her spiritual destiny. I wish my children could have known her.

6:50 am

:-) lovely, mimi. i had a connection with my maternal grandmother. she came to me about 2 weeks after my first born. it had been a tough 2 weeks. i was very tired, and had a bad headache, and there was the little wretch yelling his lungs out...again. grand-ma told me, you have to get up...no-one else is going to care for your baby. she was standing right there beside the bed. i could see her as clear as day. i got up, took care of my son, and fell deeply asleep, as he did also.

6:51 am

That's fantastic, rose! I've never met anyone who has had this type of experience before. We really are twins! I'm so looking forward to you coming to the U.S.!!

6:52 am

All this will be in my book. It's going to be quite a read, I think.

6:52 am

* lolol * it's so nice to meet you too...it's not something you bring up in everyday conversation, is it?

6:53 am

Hi all - hi properly this time, Rose :)

6:53 am

OK....word issue. If you can "retard," why can't you "tard" in the first place?!!

6:53 am

oh, g'day liz girl. xoxox

6:53 am

Liz!!! So good to see you here!

6:54 am

Seem to have missed each other recently Mimi - good to see you too :)

6:54 am

What's this about heart failure, Rose?

6:54 am

Did you hear that I got my settlement award from Social Security?

6:55 am

No I hadn't heard that either - seem to have missed out on quite a bit of news :(

6:55 am

Congrats on the coming baby!

6:55 am

But I'm really happy for that.

6:56 am

liz, i have diastole failure. which means my heart is not pushing the blood through the ventricles as much as it should...hence the build up of fluid in my extremities.

6:56 am

You must be with family while the chance is there. My mum and da divorced in 1972. I was 8 and it was the middle of the night when she left. I got a kiss and a long hug... I remember the smell of her hair spray of all things... and she was gone. it was a taboo subject and never brought up or spoken of during my childhood. One day in 1991 the U.K police tracked me down through my drivers permit to tell our family that mum had died of cancer the week before. it seems that privacy laws prevented this contact until after she had passed. All I have are the memories of an 8 year old boy, the knowledge of knitting which she taught me, and a handful of faded kodachorme pictures and ghostly images in my mind. ... Perhaps let your kids read that.. because sometimes, way too soon, it is too late. ok enough of that crapola! let's hunt some words

6:56 am

Yikes!

does anyone have the lower O

6:57 am

Hugs to all of you - stressful times and memories.

6:58 am

od 7/32 - more often with de in front

thank you

6:59 am

yw

6:59 am

I'm sure that has greatly influenced the devotion you show to your wife, crossy. See...some good comes out of everything if we wait long enough and pay attention.

6:59 am

yes, time fades the hurt and leave the cherished memories behind.

7:00 am

{{hugs}} crossy, thanx for sharing that with us. it must have been tough on that little boy, way back then.

7:01 am

Good morning, in the middle of a nice thunderstorm. The worst seems to have passed.

7:01 am

Such a pleasure chatting with all of you. Now I must get to work. Take good care, my friends, and I'll see you later. Hugs all around.

7:01 am

g'day sukee

7:02 am

lol, I remember those cloth har bands in her head. She was still sporting a jackie kennedy hairdoo in the earlu part of the 70's ... and ladies! all that hairspray and lavander talc powder!! it used to be everywhere!! My da must of bought hair spray by the case!:)

7:02 am

hope your day treats you well mimi. xoxox

11:39 am

*Mixes a girlie drink for Pen*

11:39 am

11:39 am

and here we go….

11:39 am

you just wanted a drink, saani....don't have to post words to go to the pb... ;o)

I got down to thirty last night but it didn't help to start over

11:49 am

an 9 strain, ruby -- book and movie

11:49 am

why did you have to start over?

11:49 am

an 9 is also a constellation

11:50 am

I don't know it reset with 36 this morning

11:50 am

babble has been goofy lately

11:50 am

that is really weird

11:51 am

agreed, words I entered last night have disappeared too

11:51 am

I've been playing with the an for a while but can't seem to figure it out

11:51 am

The word list seems to have memory problems lately.

11:52 am

getting old like me

11:52 am

maybe babble didn't like all the an bush puns

11:52 am

I like to wrap up on even numbers or finish so it's weird when you come back and you have to figure out which words popped out

11:52 am

Ruby, do a Google search on "constellation an"

11:52 am

morning all

11:52 am

an + camel start ruby

11:53 am

gm jes

11:53 am

do you want a clue for the an 9, ruby?

11:53 am

ty, I googled it. Had forgotten the name of the movie

11:53 am

an 9.....an + Data on Star Trek was an an***id, mechanical person + a sit com is a co***y + vowel....

11:53 am

The only way to fix the dropped words thing is to copy your word list before you log out.

11:53 am

my clue should get her over the hump nan :D

11:54 am

an 9: word that means plus + largest city in Italy + british father

11:55 am

Oh my God, it's a plethora of an9 clues

11:55 am

I'm, feeling particularly dense today

11:55 am

better than a dearth

11:56 am

No worries Ruby, we all have our dense days

11:57 am

ain't that the truth!

11:59 am

not getting anywhere with the c's -- still missing half of them

12:02 pm

I'm missing 7 of them

12:03 pm

doren : "is this the party to whom I am speaking?"

12:06 pm

Does anybody else remember the old switchboards with plugs?

12:06 pm

*Thanks God for people who can take a joke*

12:07 pm

morning all

12:07 pm

In the words of Bette Midler, when she had a "costume accident" on TV, ..... 'em, if they can't take a joke

12:07 pm

hi pini

12:08 pm

Look, there's Pini. Hi Pini.

12:08 pm

hi hi :)

12:08 pm

Exactly Ruby.

12:08 pm

hi pini

12:08 pm

I "know" of them, Ruby, but never experienced them...I grew up with the rotary dial :)

12:09 pm

my first job, when I was 16, was as a switchboard operator, just like lily tomlin

12:09 pm

I bet that was an experience!

12:09 pm

I loved it and was paid $1/hour

12:10 pm

ONE whole dollar? an hour? WOW!

12:10 pm

that was the last year of $1 minimum wage. The next year I made $60/wk in the summer

12:11 pm

there were still switchboard operators when I was old enough to be making phone calls -- we were on a 4 party line too

12:11 pm

* sort of puts network privacy in perspective!

12:12 pm

I remember my grandparents had phone numbers that started with "Emerson ###"...never understood how that worked.

12:12 pm

finally have the c's.. jesus.. some weird ones there

12:12 pm

wd ru

12:13 pm

in NY you could tell where someone was by the beginning of the phone numer, e.g Hollis

12:13 pm

must be the 8 I have left!

12:13 pm

or Buttrfield 8 (Molly's pic)

12:13 pm

hey all ((ruby)) how's the grid? I have ten minutes right now...

12:14 pm

hiya stid

12:14 pm

you'll probably finish, stidmama!!

12:14 pm

*passing cup o coffee*

12:14 pm

hi stid!

12:14 pm

oooh. COFFEE!!! *starts zipping through grid*

12:15 pm

*giggle*

12:15 pm

just got off the headset... lots of comments since i left. i am going to get a cup of real coffee, not virtual. bbs

12:15 pm

hey saanich *picks up saanich after knocking her over on way to grid*

12:15 pm

<---Still has a rotary phone

12:15 pm

Wow, that's impressive, Molly.

12:15 pm

what?

12:15 pm

coffee sounds great -- back in a bit

12:16 pm

do you fire up the horse and buggy when you go shopping molly :D

12:17 pm

I still have a wall-mounted phone that looks like old crank phone, but has a rotary looking dial on it that is actually push-button (wow, hope that image works)...it's a fun phone the kids always loved to play with.

12:17 pm

I use the rotary phone when the power goes out. All the other land lines are wireless and require electricity.

12:18 pm

We have phones all over the house (no portables) but only one of them works when we lose power. Very weird system

12:18 pm

would someone clue the first da 6 please

12:19 pm

And I would love to horse and buggy to the grocery store.

12:19 pm

fixed socks?

12:19 pm

similar to devil, rue

12:19 pm

I only have one, odd spelling for a beast of Satan

12:19 pm

thanks, pini, i didn't have that spelling

12:19 pm

thanks.. missed that d

12:21 pm

Hard to notice that D. It only has 19 words that come from it. : P

12:21 pm

I mean that sneaky a in the corner with the D :D

12:22 pm

Damn those sneaky vowels

12:22 pm

12:25 pm

take care, stid!

12:25 pm

Um Ru, Lickety is up

12:26 pm

well.. if you can use a rotary phone .. i'll use gremlin's list

12:27 pm

12:50 pm

Nan, it was an Iron Chef clue. I don't watch that show either.

12:50 pm

12:51 pm

Woody, randy, hump...it's all relative.

12:51 pm

Canadian city where the CN tower is
