diito. had a phone call today to tell me my claim for disability support pension has been granted.

1:38 am

oh, that's a relief! at least it was here for hubs, whew! long process.

1:39 am

not going to get too much in the way of cash until i use up some of my assets. but i will have the pension card which now gives me access to all sorts of discounts.

1:41 am

so does this mean you're retiring? or is it something that fills in during convalescence and you'll try to return to work?

1:42 am

i am now officially retired. the disability pension flips over to the aged pension in 2 1/2 years.

1:42 am

haha, not used to the K being so easy - tried a bunch of silly monkeying...

1:43 am

Hi all :)

1:44 am

Good - so how was your day after that?

1:49 am

How on earth can you plural en 6/18? It's either the complete thing or it isn't!!!

1:49 am

i took it quietly. don dashed out and did most of the shopping.

1:50 am

we hit over 30 in our little valley today.

1:50 am

Good for Don and I'm sure that was good for you too. Mine's out picking up a few bits of fruit now before we get ready for the sabbath!

1:50 am

Phew! Also hit 30 today here.

1:50 am

But walking with feet in the sea compensated for the heat!'

1:51 am

it's got too hot too quickly here, and we are still getting quite cold nights. crazy weather.

1:52 am

Same here, though our nights not as cold as yours but I prefer the nights cooler, so not complaining.

1:52 am

When are you off to Lakes Entrance?

1:52 am

the 23rd november

1:53 am

Bet you're looking forward to that.

1:53 am

very much so, liz.

1:53 am

How far is the drive from you?

1:54 am

don is checking.

1:55 am

don't let him go to any trouble - just curious.

1:57 am

it's no trouble, he is sitting in front of the laptop anyway

1:57 am

:)

1:57 am

Are the h words obvious?

1:58 am

only one, the hu6, the others are hy words

1:58 am

thanks

1:58 am

okay, marlo is nearly 4 1/2 hours of non-stop driving.

1:59 am

that's the furtherest away, then we come back towards melbourne via orbost, and then lakes.

1:59 am

Will you take it slowly - is it a pretty route or will you just head straight there or is it just too early to think of such stuff!!!

2:01 am

we usually do take it slowly. we will probably have a couple of stops along the way. and yes, all through that part of victoria is pretty.

2:01 am

I know that we talk about one day driving the coast route from Melbourne to home or the other way!

2:02 am

So is this an area you both know well?

2:02 am

as we travel, we have the rule...if either of us sees something interesting we stop and have a good look.

2:02 am

Great rule. I'm sure we'll do similar in NZ.

2:02 am

we know it quite well. still exploring.

2:03 am

There's always more to explore.

2:03 am

Hope you'll take loads of pics.

2:04 am

don usually does. i usually get the ones of him emerging from the public loo everytime we stop....lolol

2:04 am

lolol!!!!

2:04 am

Album of loos through Aus!

2:05 am

Time for me to go and get ready - will probably be back later. Hugs

2:05 am

*choking on drink*....gasping with laughter.

2:06 am

maybe i'll be here. catch you then, hun

2:38 am

good morning all

2:46 am

coooooeeeee rose! :)

2:53 am

oh my darling, {{hugs}} sweetie. watching would i lieto you. it's so funny

2:53 am

WTG DIZ!!!!

2:53 am

hehehe hello dear rose *hugs* How are you today?

2:54 am

not too bad, thanx hun. approval for my pension is through.

2:55 am

Mari are you there

2:55 am

did you sleep well last night? and how was yesterday?

2:55 am

ah that is good news, rose

2:56 am

I slept okayish. Yesterday was painful but otherwise ok. Kept a very low profile. Today is my turn to shop and cook. I need a very very quick, easy and yummy recipe.

2:57 am

impossible son made a turnaround and apologised, and even cleaned out his room.

2:59 am

well done boyo. he is starting to grow up, at last.

2:59 am

yes he is. falls back into bad behaviour when under stress. Which is normal, I think.

3:00 am

it's all about learning self-control, dear. it's a hard lesson to learn.

3:01 am

indeed. Well, he is learning. And where else to practise than at home?

3:03 am

you must feel better with the official approval for the pension in your pocket, I think? One part of insecurity gone now?

3:03 am

Hi all

3:03 am

hello Dianne :)

3:04 am

indeed sprite. and g'day dianne

3:09 am

how are you today, Dianne?

3:12 am

whew, back. getting stuff ready for dinner. also needed to top up my drink.

3:12 am

wb rose

3:17 am

wow!! another medical break-through. doctors over here have developed a transport system for donor hearts which keeps the heart beating until it can be transplanted into the recipient.

3:17 am

wow

3:18 am

it means heart can be harvested from the other side of the country, and flown to the recipient's town.

3:20 am

fireflies

3:21 am

WTG SPRITE!!! nice grid wasn't it?

3:21 am

Very. Relaxing and lots of good words. Funny with that consonant maze in the middle. *hugs* and sleep well, rose.

3:22 am

{{hugs}} darling. hope your day is good to you, sweetie.

3:25 am

Sprite, just send you a yummy, easy recipe.

3:56 am

I thik I'm alone in here

4:00 am

sorry ruby. {{hugs}} stuffing my face with food, glorious food.

4:02 am

lucky you. So far, a frazzling morning. I think Burt is having trouble understanding what he reads as I leave specific WRITTEN instructions for him each AM: what to eat, what to do, until I get up. He doesn't seem to understand

4:02 am

What are you eating? Maybe it will give me some ideas

4:02 am

penne pasta carbonara, and pizza, bbq chicken.

4:03 am

I love carbonara! I used to make it for my beloved Ruby (she and I would share). It was her last dinner the night before she died

4:04 am

i bet your carbonara is delicious. do you use cream, in your sauce?

4:05 am

I add an egg at the end instead of cream, so it's more crisphy than saucy

4:06 am

interesting. you will have to make it for us when we come over....lol

4:06 am

it's embarrassingly simple, not usually "company fare"

4:07 am

it is for me....

4:07 am

I will make you anything your little hearts desire, including my "world-famous " gazpacho

4:08 am

ooohhhh, that too...for breakfast...

4:09 am

hahah

4:17 am

fast half but nothing big and no nbt

4:17 am

but at least I'm sitting down and not yelling!

4:17 am

nice ruby. well done you.

4:25 am

105 and now I have to see to old Burt....aaarghhh

4:25 am

{{hugs}} ruby...xxxxx

4:29 am

{{ro**}} you help me calm down when it's like this

4:29 am

I really appreciate it!

4:30 am

then my job is done, dear.

4:30 am

x

4:35 am

going for a drink. can i bring you back anything?

5:10 am

Good morning, happy Friday

5:30 am

clues please for in 8/55 and in 9/72

5:30 am

Sorry, no where near finding those :)

5:33 am

Someone who blows things up (like kids swimming pools) with a different ending

5:34 am

Ty so much Molly

5:34 am

Thanks

5:43 am

: D

6:03 am

good morning everyone

6:10 am

hey crossy et al :-)

6:10 am

tx for the in8 and 9, molly :-)

6:12 am

you are a busy girl, Une; I see you were on hand for the flip as well:)

6:39 am

good morning frinds

6:46 am

howdy trif:)

6:46 am

howdy. early release day today, wahoo!

6:46 am

yaaa for trif!!

6:47 am

I think we have a day off this Monday

6:47 am

may I please have the count for the lone u?

6:47 am

6:47 am

6:47 am

monkeys are slow out of the gate today!

6:48 am

They are indeed. can you assist with the H please?

6:48 am

nbt

6:49 am

yes! Recent Bradley cooper/Jennifer Lawrence film. American Hu6.24

6:49 am

ty:)

6:49 am

and fish me'

6:50 am

not at all! There are four words from that h, and I barely found ONE

6:51 am

there! I always do badly with yiddish:(

6:52 am

just found the ye 5 and 6 combo

6:52 am

I need some eye bleach....we went out dancing last night, and some CLUELESS woman was there in an unbelievable outfit - beige leggings that exactly matched her skin tone, skin tight. With the lights in the ballroom she looked completely nude from the waist down. It was not a good look for her. At all.

6:53 am

WHY oh WHY do females think leggings are pants????

6:53 am

that that usually wear such things should not while those that can don't

6:53 am

those that*

6:54 am

I usually say " oh! goodie!, a place to park my bike!"

6:54 am

Remember the LOVELY Esquire cover from long ago, with Angie Dickinson, and just a sweater? Imagine that, but horrible.

6:54 am

Hi all :)

6:55 am

howdy, Liz

6:55 am

Those leggings sound horrible!

6:55 am

Sadly, in this case you could have said that, and also "oh, so that's wear my camel has been walking"

6:55 am

hello lizlin!

6:56 am

lol trif

6:56 am

good morning babblebuddies

6:56 am

Hi bichon

6:56 am

howdy, bichon

6:56 am

good morning bichon

6:56 am

hi Liz, any more humbacks?

6:56 am

hi Trif

6:57 am

the bell is going to ring in a minute, so I will say my fond good byes now. Love to all!

6:57 am

Have a good day, Trif.

6:58 am

Yes, Bichon. We went out yesterday - saw a couple just swimming along but it's pretty much the end of the season for us now, so we won't go out again until next June.

6:58 am

darn, must be difficult to see them go

6:59 am

Strange we were saying how strange it was that we weren't going out again this year, as we beach walked today. Still kept looking out to the horizon, hoping for a breach!

6:59 am

Sorry about the double strange there!

7:00 am

They stay in the Antarctic for the summer?

7:01 am

Yes and that's when they eat! There's loads of krill down there. When they migrate they are opportunistic feeders but mostly starve for 6 months :(

7:02 am

Don't think I'd do well as a humpback

7:02 am

Me neither. Learnt yesterday that the milk that the calves drink, is pink!

7:02 am

Strawberry flavour, perhaps! LOL

7:02 am

Too cool.

7:03 am

mm whale cheese:)

7:03 am

Probably from the krill diet, like flamingos

7:03 am

Guess that could be the reason.

7:03 am

Those six months are the reason those whales have all those fat reserves.

7:03 am

blubber

7:04 am

That's right - you can see the spine more clearly on their return journey.

7:04 am

NBT for Crossy:)

7:04 am

Yes Bich, but in these days of political correctness (blech) I'm sure we are not allowed to say blubber

7:04 am

One of the humpbacks yesterday had lost its dorsal fin (careless, I know). Sadly lots of the whales are injured by boat propellors.

7:05 am

Can it live without it?

7:05 am

Think in the context of whales, you can still say blubber!

7:05 am

Well, i do anyway.

7:05 am

Yes it was swimming happily!

7:06 am

There's one whale known as blade runner because of the distinctive scar it got from an injury from a propellor in Sydney harbour.

7:06 am

The council is still debating building a cruise terminal here - we're very anti that idea because of the damage to the environment and the whales.

7:06 am

BLUBBR IS SOMEBODY WHO CRIES A LOT, N'EST-CE PAS?

7:07 am

sorry, didn't mean to shout

7:07 am

Yes Ruby and hi and hugs :)

7:07 am

<--doesn't get the us....

7:07 am

yes, another meaning of blubber ruby. Hi

7:07 am

Humans and their contraptions can really mess things up for some of nature's most beautiful things

7:08 am

Thinking of big things in the water, it would be funny to make a "loch ness monster" and pull it through our lake. It would be a hoot!

7:08 am

us + first 3 of not far

7:08 am

So true - and there are already cruise terminals in Brisbane (70 km away) and Sydney - so why another. Answer - casino!

7:08 am

ty molly

7:08 am

Casinos, hell pits of the world

7:09 am

That would be a laugh, Ruby.

7:09 am

But the businessman's delight! It's all about money!

7:09 am

Just my sick sense of humour.

7:09 am

I have never understood the appeal of casinos. Or Vegas for that matter.

7:09 am

the final en 6/7 pls?

7:10 am

en + a word that means work hard

7:10 am

The locals are rather dopy; they only sail onthis little lake when there's no wind. If they ever heeled (keeled?) over, they'd die of heart attacks

7:10 am

Me neither! Though the local casino is also the home to a very good theatre - have seen a couple of good productions there.

7:10 am

Every time I've been in a casino [not gambling related] I've been sick to my stomach. All those people mindlessly putting money in and getting nothing out of it

7:10 am

Thanks, Molly

7:10 am

In my wild and often broke youth, I used to play backgammon for money

7:11 am

Yeah, sailing when there is no wind is pretty dopey

7:11 am

Seriously ruby?

7:11 am

When I was in college, there used to be some serious backgammon for money games.

7:12 am

I've only been to a casino once and that was on holiday in Tunisia! We took $10 and when it was gone, it was gone. No desire to go back.

7:12 am

Yes U also used to be on horses when I had a little extra money. We used to do a lot of ocean sailing off Miami and the Bahamas

7:12 am

bet*

7:12 am

I once got hu6d in a chouette by two guys. I learned my lesson

7:13 am

I can see Ruby now, at the track in her attractive dress and cute shoes

7:13 am

I was there last June as a race Mr. Bich was volunteering for and my granddaughter was running in was there. We ate at the buffet

7:13 am

Ask Annie about OTB. I only went to the track with my father, when I was young, and with a beau, when I was much older

7:13 am

Once there was a tryout for "Jeopardy" there.

7:14 am

did you all find the th5? I thought it was a Fr shrub but I guess it's latin

7:15 am

No I don't have that word.

7:15 am

th5/18

7:16 am

That's where the baby dog sleeps' she has made a nest there

7:16 am

Looking!

7:16 am

Cute

7:16 am

she is a character

7:17 am

th5 ends with first two of rich person's boat

7:17 am

Thanks Molly. That helped.

7:17 am

ty, Molly, I couldn't clue it, didn't think of that

7:18 am

One of the many weirdo Babble words

7:19 am

but not weird here, everybody has them in their hedges

7:19 am

Looks like a type of cypress tree

7:19 am

Just googled it.

7:20 am

I'm sure if I knew more about landscaping it would be a familiar word

7:20 am

maybe. They were here when we bought the house aand give lots of privacy WHEN they are healthy

7:20 am

Good Morning Everyone

7:20 am

{{river}}

7:21 am

Hi River

7:21 am

Happy Friday

7:22 am

And the same to you

7:22 am

drug for ADD?

7:23 am

I think it's Friday cocktail time someplace!

7:23 am

bit early for me - only 8:23 am

7:23 am

Yes Ruby, but I think that is a proper noun

7:23 am

Friday bedtime here - well, almost!

7:24 am

*Mixes Ruby a drink

7:24 am

River, if you were inBinghamton, you'd have a beer and tomato juice for breakfast

7:24 am

already had a Ricard with lunch

7:24 am

yuck - maybe vodka and orange juice

7:24 am

or a bloody mary

7:24 am

Oh, like one is enough for you? : D

7:25 am

hahah

7:25 am

what is a Ricard?

7:25 am

Bloody Mary, extra spicy for River

7:25 am

or a bloody caesar

7:25 am

yes I like them hot....

7:25 am

It's licorice-flavored -- every Mediterranean country has one like it: raki, ouzo, anisette, etc.

7:26 am

I assume Ruby means the anise flavored liqueur

7:26 am

they start out yellow, but when you add water, they turn milky

7:26 am

I think Ricard is a little less sweet

7:27 am

Icky, I can't handle Clamato

7:27 am

I don't like Clamato, either, but a good Bloody Mary can be super

7:27 am

I like Clamato especially with the rimmer on the glass

7:28 am

Actually I was just introduced to Clamato this year when I went to visit my friend in Canada

7:28 am

I've always wondered who came up with mixing clam and tomato juice. Some New Englander no doubt.

7:29 am

and i dont like clam juice but for some reason I clamato

7:30 am

I used to like clam juice, but it's been years. I think,however, I'll drink almost anything (except Clamato) hahah

7:30 am

The beer and clamato combination really gives me the gickies

7:30 am

tastes change. I no longereat oysters and grew up eating them since \I was a little kid

7:31 am

beer and tomato juice, specific for Binghamton hangovers

7:31 am

Those Binghamton folks are hard party animals

7:32 am

I cant wait for this rain to stop - it is killing my hip

7:32 am

That storm came through here the other day. It was miserable.

7:32 am

does anybody else know about Cidty Chicken and Spiedis?

7:32 am

Good morning and hello everyone

7:32 am

City*

7:33 am

hello car.

7:33 am

hello car

7:33 am

Hi Car, is your eldest still among the living?

7:33 am

Yes

7:34 am

bye kids, see you later

7:34 am

When he did apologize, I told him he broke my heart.

7:35 am

bye ((ruby))

7:36 am

oh no car - I did not hear what happened but I know what you mean - my daughter breaks my heart all the time

7:37 am

I was flipped the bird and told to F off

7:37 am

Yeah, kids do that on occasion. But it is usually not their intention. The hormone years are hard.

7:37 am

Was the first time, but I know it won't be the last

7:37 am

oh boy - that is not acceptable

7:38 am

how old is he?

7:39 am

11

7:40 am

that is young for that - my best friends son has done that to her many times but he is 17. Loss of privileges is a constant at her house.

7:40 am

Yeah, that is about the age my boys started getting that "teenage boy smell".

7:40 am

I remember that smell - awful

7:40 am

1

7:41 am

and the odd part is he really is a great kid. But Mom is always at fault!

7:41 am

But of course

7:42 am

People (including kids) often go for the jugular in fights. It starts with I HATE YOU! when they are kids.

7:42 am

stay strong - their fazes change so quickly

7:42 am

*little kids

7:42 am

Well he picked a really stupid time to do it...dad was home.

7:43 am

Why is it any worse to do when Dad is home?

7:44 am

Someone else to correct him and punish him...very beneficial I believe.

7:44 am

react before thinking - their brains are not developing

7:44 am

I was emotional and heated at that point...so it was better handled by a cooler head.

7:45 am

you are right car

7:45 am

Did you all see that report about a teenager's brain being basically back at infant stage?

7:46 am

it wouldn't surprise me

7:46 am

at that age my daughter was a yeller, stomper and slammer......was not pretty

7:46 am

It has to do with the development and the amount of information they are taking in at school at the time

7:47 am

stats for the U please?

7:47 am

You forgot the eye rolling River : D

7:47 am

we had to take in all the information too but if I had done something like that I would have gotten slapped

7:47 am

us 5/12

7:47 am

No shit.

7:47 am

She is 21 and has the eye roll down perfectly

7:48 am

Got it, ty

7:48 am

In all honesty I think she gets that from me -- was a champion at the eye roll when I was still with my ex

7:49 am

I need to get back to work - have a great day - (((Car)))

7:50 am

Have a great day River!

7:51 am

I need to get mom to day program. BBL>

7:58 am

Good morning, all!

8:02 am

Hi Judi

8:03 am

Ah. There is life. :-)

8:04 am

Just me and all the lurkers

8:05 am

lurking.

8:06 am

Impressive invisibility cloak, mixi.

8:07 am

Be careful in those bushes Mixi. There are a lot of people in there with you.

8:08 am

They are well hidden.

8:10 am

This grid is going to be a bear I think.

really? it seems a lot better than yesterday i think

8:10 am

Does it have teeth? Oh, say it has teeth.

8:11 am

It seems rather fangish to me.

8:12 am

All the vowels have been flung to the outer edges.

8:13 am

didn't finish yesterdays. will finish today.

8:13 am

Famous last words... Down to 99 and already annoyed with this one.

8:14 am

9:07 am

Une! last night was magical-- John Lithgow was stunning, and Glenn Close wasn't bad either

9:17 am

Sounds wonderful Dorens!

9:17 am

took my daughter and somehow ended up in the second row. Like sitting in their living room

9:18 am

that happened to us at a Toby Keith concert...awesome!

9:19 am

and no one can do words better than Albee. so damned clever

9:19 am

What did you see?

9:20 am

A Delicate Balance

9:20 am

I am not familiar with that but will look into it later today.

9:21 am

(Une never gets up to NY anymore these days, but loves the theater-- So when I go I am her vicarious theater-goer, sometimes she even tells me what to see. Not that I go all that often, but now that I'm retired......)

9:21 am

So, Edward Albee is best known for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.... but this one should be better known.

9:26 am

2nd row -- wow!!!!!!

9:26 am

love love love lithgow

9:28 am

Years back we had first row for Gilda Radner's one woman (plus Father Guido Sarducci) show on Broadway

9:28 am

how fabulous, jeff

9:29 am

I belong to tdf.org which has so many plays available for tickets ranging from $9-45 for (usually) orchestra seats.

9:29 am

That must have been awesome!

9:29 am

had seats like that at cabaret with joel grey

9:29 am

We just saw "Beautiful" last month-the Carole King musical-done very well

9:30 am

oh, jeff, that looked amazing

9:30 am

That I would LOVE to see

9:31 am

I didn't see the other musical "biography" shows but I think that that was one of the best

9:31 am

phantom: Geritol

9:31 am

Interesting that her writing partner Gerry Coffin was just inducted into the LI music hall of fame this past week

9:33 am

9:37 am

hey again dorens :-)

9:37 am

and howdy judi :-)

9:38 am

So yes, Une. I recommend that you make it up to NY to see this one... Just brilliant, all around (and this was just the third night of previews, it will probably get even better)

9:39 am

before i go to NYC i've got to save enough pennies to visit Jennifer in Maine :-)

9:40 am

if only Jen could meet you in NYC and go with you!

9:40 am

10:23 am

Hey Babble Friends....have a little something I need help with. Anyone still around?

10:24 am

Standing by, car!

10:25 am

OK...since yesterday, I keep writing the number 5 where it does not belong. When writing my work files names down (date, doc, office) I wrote them as 05 (may) instead of 10 (october). I keep typing 2015 instead of 2014....what is up with the number 5?

10:26 am

Is Crossy here? We need Elegant on this one, I think.

10:26 am

*holds hand up* Gimme 5!

10:27 am

lol Judi

10:27 am

Its driving me batty at this point.

10:27 am

Mystery car

10:27 am

Any significant annivesaries or other date related things coming up?

10:28 am

No

10:28 am

Any time or address relations that you can think of?

10:28 am

No

10:29 am

Maybe that's how many eggs were fertilized the last time you had sex.

10:29 am

If it was just happening today while I was typing I would just think I was tired or distracted. But the fact that I wrote several things down yesterday with the 5 is wigging me out

10:29 am

Are you very tired?

10:29 am

Oh myyyyyyy

10:30 am

Sorry. Just my sick mind at work. Please don't drop dead.

10:30 am

I will send Crossy an email to see if Elegant has any idea. Thank you friends! (sick minds and all! LOL! ) xoxoxoxo

10:32 am

Does Elegant have psychic abilities?

10:35 am

ee

10:35 am

Oh, there is a God. I just read that Honey Boo-Boo was canceled.

10:35 am

And... Fireworks!

10:43 am

It depends on what kind of meaning you are looking for. You can do a Google search on "the meaning of the number 5" and discover what you think it means for you. Having someone else interpret it will only give you their slant on the meaning of that number.

11:03 am

congrats judi

11:06 am

SO 5/12?

11:08 am

plural of so 4/5 above it :-) good afternoon all. :-)

11:08 am

11:10 am

so that is- forgive my typing :-)

11:11 am

thanks wolvie

11:11 am

11:12 am

Well, that is an so5 that is a plural of the so4 above it.

11:17 am

11:17 am

11:17 am

lol okay-

11:18 am

the other one is a plural

11:19 am

of one of the female groups in a choir

11:19 am

11:20 am

mlf - the sa6/7 combo?

11:29 am

*opens lead balloon joke window*

11:34 am

*pushes balloon out window*

11:36 am

It's a tough room Ru. People just don't get it.

11:39 am

ah well.. that's the breaks

11:58 am

It's the polite woman's place to get a five dollar foot long.

11:58 am

(When in doubt, spell it out)

12:01 pm

so spell it out then

12:03 pm

Oh dear, I just did. It explains Ru's comment about Car's question about the number 5. *Keeps lead balloon window open*

12:06 pm

What ARE you (not) trying to explain?

12:07 pm

clue for the se7 please?

12:08 pm

se7 is a plural

12:09 pm

nm - got it

12:13 pm

Car asked about the significance of the number 5. Ru made a joke about Subway. It went over like a lead balloon. I should have left it that way. Jokes just don't go over here. Best to keep it simple. How is the weather? How is your puppy? Your kitty?

12:20 pm

Maybe this is the time to say goodbye to this game...

1:04 pm

it is an arborvitae

1:05 pm

at least according to the definition

1:06 pm

large coniferous evergreen tree of North Africa and Spain

1:06 pm

in 8/9...if you blow up a balloon, you in7 it. One who does that is an in8, with a different ending.

1:06 pm

1:07 pm

ty molly

1:08 pm

You're welcome Nan. I have to go out and trim my th5 bush now. NOT

1:12 pm

that went over my head -- obviously something tropical that doesn't survive our winters!

1:13 pm

Well, Ruby says they thrive in France, so not that tropical.

1:13 pm

TH + vowel + sometimes vowel + vowel

1:14 pm

We have them here.

1:15 pm

ty teach

1:15 pm

arbor vitae, that is. Never heard that name.

1:26 pm

Arborvitae is a Latin term for a cypress tree. Popular with arborists who have to study that stuff to get their degrees.

1:27 pm

Also popular with landscapers.

1:27 pm

Our development is crawling with them.

1:28 pm

last sa 6, please?

1:28 pm

don't have it Nan

1:29 pm

SA 6 - what you did on a chair + either ** + vowel

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

ty

1:30 pm

Hello, Jilly :-)

Studly and the ladies love him. : D

4:51 pm

There aren't many men on the chog

4:51 pm

I just bet

4:51 pm

OK even though next to my monika is a little blue person.

4:52 pm

Well, doh

4:52 pm

Maybe i am too polite.to be male.Sorry not getting it.

4:52 pm

Zoom, I have come to the realization that people don't pay very much attention to chat things.

4:53 pm

I do, but just not the little person

4:54 pm

Gotta get this done....going out for beer and pizza with a good friend that's been gone all summer...

4:55 pm

Hope you have a nice time, Jilly :-)

4:56 pm

5:20 pm

Damn autocorrect! :-p

5:21 pm

That poor autocorrect gets so much bad press....

5:21 pm

Shhhh Jilly. That's my excuse! Don't tell Molly....

5:24 pm

I have those cheap nasty generic specs everywhere around the house. In the bedroom, bathroom, car, office. I am probably blinding myself, but at least I can read.

5:28 pm

I murdered the chat, didn't I? I'll noodle off to the PB so. Sorry.

5:29 pm

LOL...no I was in FB land!

5:30 pm

I'm just pretending I don't hear people whispering about me. Happens a lot here, and on Facebook.

5:34 pm

bleak, eh?

5:34 pm

hi all. sorry i had to disappear. any clues for the 9?

5:34 pm

Not for me...throwing pompoms, FW and free drinks!

5:35 pm

Not a bit of it, Sue!! It's only as bleak as you make it, and God knows , your not a bleak person! So.. How goes it with Frank?

5:36 pm

I clued earlier to you mkg...it's the pl of the 8: one who blows up a flat tire

5:36 pm

sorry jilly i had to go to business calls. . ok so one who blows up a flat tire. hmmm. i will try to find it.

5:37 pm

or someone who blows up an ego

5:37 pm

an ego?????? now i am confused.

5:38 pm

Free drinks, Jilly? I think I'll have a Brandy & Baileys! (Only if you are paying...)

5:39 pm

ok i dont know who blows up a flat ti*e other than a ti*e changer. or a mechanic. or the driver.

5:39 pm

*Pretends she didn't hear the bleak stuff. Tends bar.

5:40 pm

jilly is the ego one a real clue? i am confused

5:40 pm

Mkg, if you want to get the kiddy pool ready, you have to in5 it.

5:40 pm

in5...blow air into it

5:42 pm

ok i know a word flate. and there is no flate in this grid. i just dont see it. i see in and a fl 4.

5:42 pm

i got it ty.

5:43 pm

People often think of explosions when they hear the term "blow up"

5:43 pm

whew. sorry about that. i thought it was with an e.

5:44 pm

i was very confused by the ego thing. but yes now it makes sense.

5:44 pm

Well, now that clue figured out...heading out...

5:45 pm

night jilly and ty.

5:45 pm

anyone have clue for the other 8?

5:46 pm

sa8...pepper's companion + rubber wheel on a car

5:46 pm

Plural

5:47 pm

And only use one T

5:48 pm

Sorry, our vegetable delivery arrived!

5:48 pm

ty. got it but weird word for sure.

5:49 pm

anyway, Frank is doing much better now that the kidney stone is gone; he's still pretty worn out, though.

5:49 pm

How do you get vegetable delivery?

5:50 pm

We are part of a CSA (community supported agriculture) - often these are local farms, but this one is actually a whole set of community gardens

5:50 pm

they bring a box every week (or as often as you sign up for)

5:51 pm

Oh we have that too but you have to go to the farm and pick it up. Nice that you get it delivered.

5:51 pm

THe gardens themselves were started about three years ago by one of our friends; they are on town and county property, including schools and city hall, and also some businesses and individuals

5:52 pm

Excellent idea, Sue.

5:52 pm

they grow an enormous amount; most is donated to food pantries, homeless and battered women's shelters, and the like, but this year they started the CSA - and you are right, it is very nice to have them delivered!

5:53 pm

they've raised enough money through donations and grants that they were able to purchase some property (I think some of it was donated as well) and have planted fruit and nut trees, so in a few years they'll have those as well as the veggies

5:53 pm

So how long will this last for you? It has to be close to the end of growing season in your area.

5:54 pm

I'm not sure, Molly, I think it was supposed to be 15 weeks. We should be nearing the end of it. We've had a few frosty mornings but no hard freeze yet.

hi, all wow , sue, it's been along time, just reading your updates

5:55 pm

hi TO!

5:57 pm

maybe it's 20 weeks, Molly, I just looked up when we got our 1st one and this one is the 20th

5:57 pm

anyway, TO, yes, we're back on the roller coaster

5:57 pm

TO, just curious. Has anyone given you a hard time about your icon? I love it, but there are people here who get snooty about icon contents.

5:58 pm

No hard freeze here. Waiting for it so the leaf mold spores will finally go away

5:58 pm

hi bichon! Yes, my friends with allergies are eager for frost :-)

no

they don't like Maru???

Maru is a star in Japan

5:59 pm

when I click on TO's icon I see a cat

allergies are very bad for me right now

6:00 pm

Sorry, I was referring to your GO F YOUR SELFIE icon

6:01 pm

bummer - I missed that one :-)

well, it is gone but now a whole new group can take issue with it.

or not.

hahahah sue

6:02 pm

Maru has some very funny videos :-)

6:03 pm
