hi sprite

2:02 am

hey broll :) I like your Poirot clue

2:02 am

thx

2:48 am

de an

2:48 am

sorry about that

2:57 am

it is so cold!

2:58 am

whew!! what a grid!! {{hugs}} my dearest sprite.

2:58 am

hello dear friend. How was your day?

3:00 am

sort of busy. but i paced myself. ironing done, bed stripped and remade, 3 of 4 loads of washing done. showered, washed my hair. how was your night?

3:01 am

busy day, rose! I hope you are in less pain now. My night was very short, lol. Am thinking nap :D

3:01 am

don did the dishes and bins. hung out the wash....continued with the garage.

3:01 am

very good. Well done on sharing the load.

3:01 am

sooo....shopping tomorrow..*sigh*

3:02 am

how about making the list and letting Don get it?

3:02 am

i am thinking a nap would be good for you....under a cosy quilt with terra beside you.

3:03 am

exactly, sprite. that is what i intend to do....lol...

3:04 am

hehehe Terra is a beast... he always climbs on top of me when I lie down on the couch. Stretches out in the valley between my back and the support of the couch. So cute. And when it is very cold, he moves to the triangle behind my knees.

3:06 am

funny thing is, with Rob, he always wants to lie under the blanket. With me, never. We don't know why.

3:10 am

if you have fibromyalgia it is well known that you can't control your body temperature

3:11 am

I don't think I have FM.

3:12 am

it is very amusing here first thing in the morning. don, squidged under the blankets, me, lying , legs outstretched, letting the fan blast me with cool air.

3:14 am

sprite, google it. you might have to browse through a few, but there is one which lists the symptoms...it is very closely allied with ptsd.

3:14 am

lol :D I have major hot flashes in bed too, but I think that is just menopause. I keep a towel handy. Usually I don't mind, and I have the fan standing next to my bed in case of extremes. But I hate it when my feet feel really hot. Makes me restless.

3:15 am

this does not mean you don't have ptsd...it just means you may have 2 disorders which overlap.

3:16 am

I do have ptsd.

3:17 am

once i found a list of the symptoms i was able to move forward. it's the not knowing which holds you back. darling, as i said...you may have both...a double whammy so to speak.

3:18 am

can FM be treated?

3:18 am

ok will look up the symptoms

3:19 am

the symptoms can be treated....the disorder hangs on. sometimes it goes....

3:20 am

and you know you also have csd...

3:22 am

csd? Oh the same as css?

3:23 am

yes, love

3:24 am

sorry to be so dense. Half my brain is still in bed.

3:24 am

you are not dense, dear. tired? yes. dense? no

3:25 am

*grin* I love you.

3:26 am

love you, too.

3:28 am

My love forgot to leave his bank card at home... so I cannot do what I had planned. It does mean I have more ti4 to take a nap today :)

3:31 am

*giggle* text him what you were supposed to get...let him get it...

3:32 am

I would, but the rules governing his business car make that hard. He is not allowed to use it for personal stuff. So he cannot go shopping straight from work. Always has to come home first, and then it is rather late.

3:33 am

this grid is a female dog of a grid. so many strange words which i do not use in everyday conversation.

3:33 am

I am having fun with it, tbh. So many weird things that I try for the heck of it and they take.

3:35 am

just wait until you get to the last 40 or so words...

3:37 am

I might open lickety then. With big grids, at some point you just cannot think of any words you may have missed.

3:38 am

that ic ending is used a lot

3:39 am

a grid full of nervous habits

3:39 am

yup...lol

3:42 am

btw....himself got most of his stuff back into the garage today. he has repositioned his workbench. and he has found a local guy who makes solid steel 'posts' to which he can mount his grinders etc. i am thinking we are gonna have to have a clearance some ti4 soon.

3:43 am

sounds good, rose. Progress is being made.

3:44 am

yesss found a -ow word at last

3:45 am

yeah.....i was on the lookout for those also.

3:46 am

sometimes you have a big grid and a very promising ending, and then you spend an hour trying to find words for it, and in the end it just isn't used that much.

3:47 am

i got hung up in the ma's....it turned out i had most of them. i wasted nearly 35 minutes there.

3:48 am

ma's are hard because there are so flippin' many of them. At some point you just run out of words to try, lol.

3:49 am

isn't the 20th the date for puglet's surgery?

3:50 am

I thought 22nd.

3:50 am

ahhh, i think you are correct....

3:51 am

I know, but it doesn't matter, I am used to it. *giggles*

3:52 am

*eye roll* for goodness sake....

3:52 am

japanese mats, sturdy trousers... good words today

3:52 am

lalalaaaa laaaa I made rose roll her eyes :D Score one for the team!

3:53 am

i was surprised at how many words i remembered.

3:53 am

oh my....col

3:54 am

Rob and I often fool around like this, and we have such fun, and the kids are the ones rolling their eyes and telling us to stop it. Which we don't, of course.

3:55 am

* giggle * going to get meds ready. xoxox

3:55 am

ok :)

3:57 am

sadism is being rather sadistic today

3:59 am

fireflies. Hanging around until rose comes back

4:00 am

Hello sprite :) Yay, well done!

4:03 am

hey Biltong :) Thanks! How are you today?

4:04 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:04 am

g'day biltong

4:05 am

ugh, lower back still in spasm...

4:05 am

thanks hun :) I wanted to say goodbye to you before I split. I might take an early nap... am sleepy! *hugs* and sleep well tonight.

4:05 am

Not too bad thanks. Also didn't sleep too well, so feeling slightly fragile. Luckily don't have much to do today :)

4:05 am

Hello rose :)

4:05 am

{{hugs}} and kisses to my beloved sprite.

4:05 am

oh yuck, rose. That is so nasty.

4:06 am

ah, that is a silver lining at least, Biltong. Be good to yourself today. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

4:06 am

poor biltong...xoxox my dear

4:06 am

Thank you sprite, you take care of yourself too :)

4:07 am

Ah, ty rose. Hope your back eases

4:09 am

biltong, i take a baby dose of valium plus my magnesium...all good.

4:10 am

Do you have physio for your back, rose?

4:13 am

Someone at the door, bbl. Have a peaceful sleep, rose :)

4:14 am

yes i do biltong. i am in the warm water pool 3 x per week.

5:10 am

Good morning, biggie grid today.

Morning all. Am I missing something obvious not seeing the as7/32 and 8/40?

5:37 am

I'm not there yet.

5:38 am

Hi all :)

5:38 am

not obvious. the 7 is fan******, and the 8 is....

5:39 am

Hi liz

5:39 am

as 8/40 is a chemical element

5:39 am

Hi sukee

5:40 am

sorry still not seeing the 7...

5:42 am

ty liz

Yep, got it now - thanks!

5:42 am

to be honest, I'd have a seriously hard time trying to clue the majority of this grid. Weird letter combinations.

5:42 am

the kind of electricity that makes you hair stand up

5:42 am

If you wear nylon, you might get a ****** shock

5:43 am

Just listing - still have 90 left but not seeing them now.

5:44 am

yeh, I listed at 60 left. It didn't help at all!!!

5:45 am

lol - I'll run through, then again tomorrow morning, when i might be more awake, then I guess it'll be more words!

6:17 am

Well done!

6:17 am

I did not get it. did not watch harry potter

6:17 am

I'm leaving it now for tomorrow - 59 left! But really not seeing any more words.

6:17 am

Oh! I got another di word...to look upon something with hatred

6:24 am

6:25 am

6:25 am

6:25 am

Sounds like the plural of the Penn State Lions name (the one before Lions)

Happens to me all the time (IRL too) - the invisible girl, I am ;)

6:47 am

Hi trif. Rubbish connection at the moment.

6:48 am

Down to 53. Time to read before sleep. Enjoy your days.

6:48 am

I'm the type of person who says something wicked clueless and then wonders why I can hear crickets....

6:51 am

*Hands Trif the Sensitive Blankie*

6:51 am

LOLOL molly - I know, right?

6:51 am

Seriously, how do you "offend" by asking how everyone is?

6:52 am

Everyone say HI TRIF!!!!

6:52 am

its fine molly, my goodness!

The last two di words (5/22 and 6/36) - it should be obvious given the high values and where they fall in the list but I'd swear I've tried every possible combination

Got em now

Must have found a combination that I hadn't tried :)

6:55 am

what is the count for the c please? Is it (((dreaded))) Welsh?

6:56 am

ci6/21

ci6/21. Not Welsh. Though the Welsh do have 'em

6:57 am

thanks matty - twisty little one!

7:04 am

help with any 8 pls

7:05 am

If you are stressed, you might need to take some do8 (compound word)

7:06 am

hmm, ty looking

7:06 am

It's a period of relaxation

7:06 am

ty Molls I was looking for some type of chemical word

7:07 am

tx molly!!

7:07 am

I was too, until I noticed the compound part :)

7:07 am

Yes, I made that sound like Xanex or something : D

7:08 am

pass the Xanax, yeah!!!!

7:09 am

See what a non-druggie I am, I can't even spell it correctly

7:09 am

help with the C pls

Peri, think NY, London, Paris...

7:10 am

7:11 am

Not a duh, it's stacked up in an odd way. Hard to see.

7:11 am

Ctraffic

7:11 am

"groan"

7:11 am

Damn it

7:12 am

*Giggle*

Don't worry - I'm hugely stuck on the Es and Is - I hate vowel words. I have the EMs and two of the ENs (the four and the en5/10), one of the im (4) and two of the INs...and that's it for the Es and Is

7:13 am

EIEIO

7:13 am

the idea that this grid has so many I's is KILLING ME - babble has made it my least favorite letter

7:14 am

*Watches as all the offended I's weep*

7:14 am

bell is going to ring...see you third period, hopefully!

7:16 am

Dr to I: why do you think you're hated? I: gee i just wabt to be like the other vowels

7:16 am

HVC: Hated Vowel Complex

7:23 am

This grid looks like a Babbler's nighmare, over 300 words and all those vowels

7:37 am

whew! nbt

7:40 am

nbt/nbs! thanks to the clues posted earlier :-)

7:43 am

Good day to all.

7:46 am

hi Scrabbs

7:46 am

Fun, big grid.

7:47 am

19 I words :(

7:48 am

Still not as bad as re- words.

7:56 am

The last 8 in- words all start with the same first 4 letters.

7:59 am

gm, everyone. anyone have the de7/36?

8:00 am

de + not off + facial twitch

8:00 am

Hi dawg. I had to search some is-words and finish the i's which annoyed everyone.

8:01 am

ty, Molly! hi scrabs. the is words all build off each other.

8:01 am

hello everyone...biggie and all those "I"s

8:02 am

The i's don't have it. They are really taking a beating today.

8:03 am

I just found the sunk ship, Ti7

8:04 am

there's another "ship" the s.s. mi6, went on a three hour tour.

8:05 am

A three hour tour

8:06 am

Aye, aye, Skipper.

8:08 am

Cousin Earth, are you here?

I don't have the last three IN words nor any of the ISs. Also missing 120-odd other words :)

8:09 am

in8/45 = in4/4 + drizzling rain is a fine mi4/4

8:10 am

in6/18 = in + prong of a fork

8:10 am

in5/10 is the plural of in4/4

8:10 am

is6 = i + sa5 (shiny, soft fabric)

Thanks Scrabs!

8:11 am

plural that, matty

8:11 am

the 2 is7's are is6 + one letter

Thanks - that's all the Is barring im5/12

8:12 am

i + not yours

8:15 am

clue for the first en6 please

8:16 am

Ends in facial twitch

8:16 am

en+autom**** weapon

8:16 am

thanks, Molly and grant

8:18 am

8:18 am

Funny how all the fuss has been made about I words but no one is wailing about 28 A words : D

Thanks all!!

8:18 am

Oops, 35

Has anyone clued the en7/28 and 8/45?

8:19 am

45, can't add

8:20 am

en7 sounds like a Disney movie

8:20 am

thanks, Molly

8:20 am

en8 ends in that ever present facial twtich

8:21 am

Or twitch

OK, got the en8

Not sure about the 7 yet

8:21 am

Disney movie, symphony music, Mickey is a sorceror

8:22 am

10:05 am

DI + a word for when you mark your clothes that will not come out.

I eat breakfast at 8:30, lunch at6 12:30 and dinner at six. Snack at 3

10:28 am

Let's not get all Twittery here.

10:29 am

I'm just trying to inject on9 in my life

10:29 am

Just want to make it clear when I would not be Babbling

10:30 am

*marks down Bichon's time slots for Babble*

10:30 am

I go to sleep at 10, wake up at 7:30, so to the two fluffs

10:31 am

that's a lot of sleep

10:31 am

I eat & drink when I am hungry.Do not have any set time at all.

10:32 am

Yes, but that includes wake up stretchs and dog cuddling

10:32 am

that sounds more reasonable zooz

10:33 am

and meditation to ease me into slumber

10:41 am

<--now agreeing with JJ.. this is a tough grid

10:42 am

I was sort of hoping more people would be chiming in with clues by now, esp for the longer words :)

10:43 am

yea, good idea.

10:43 am

Read over the entire chat. It's a clue festival.

10:44 am

That woujld take energy

10:45 am

Okay, not a suggestion for the low maintenance types : D

10:48 am

can't finish these s's.. they're brutal

10:50 am

*Keeps a look out for savage S words

10:50 am

it says ti5, 7, 8, 8, 9... and then it says two ti9... i only have ti 5, 7, 8... assuming i'm even looking at the right set of words...

10:51 am

(I took your advice Molly and am reading the older chat)

10:52 am

There is only one ti9

10:52 am

TI9 most of the famous ship that sunk + first three letters of exam.

10:53 am

Or the plural of the 8 : D

10:53 am

OK

10:53 am

Remember when you read chat clues that a) some people clue incorrectly and b) some people don't spell well

10:53 am

*giggle*

10:54 am

Ru! You little cutie! I could hug you to bits!

10:54 am

In other words me..lol

3:45 pm

TO go sign up for a tour. . .

3:45 pm

well, je, here's the deal: nly one half of this couple had the $ to travel at this time.

3:45 pm

ni 5/10

3:45 pm

if you have the money you should go. . .

3:46 pm

anis is

3:46 pm

if he has the money you should encourage pooling of resources ;-)

no, nan, last night was italian but today it's strictly us

3:46 pm

do you save avion points?

3:46 pm

ty mari

3:46 pm

Anyone who has dollars to travel is a lucky person

he does not at this time, setting up IRAs etc

3:47 pm

the way our dollar is falling makes it difficult for us to -- this trip we have partially booked is going to cost us a lot more than initially planned at this rate

well,molly, i don't know about that but my cousin, three years older, died today. so my thoughts on time are changing.

3:48 pm

*too

3:48 pm

i give up other stuff. . . it is in part a matter of priorities. . . .

3:48 pm

i am sorry to hear that TO

3:48 pm

Sorry about your cousin. All the more reason to spend it while you can

3:48 pm

OH --Sorry about your cousin, TO

3:48 pm

i agree with molls. . .

sorry to hear that,nan'where are you going? the us $ is strong vs the euro, but I would not want to be there at present.

hi movie

3:50 pm

we've booked a land/cruise tour from Rome to Venice and the Adriatic, followed by a week in Vienna and Prague - not til September, so hopefully things will pick up by then

3:50 pm

oooo prague is beautiful. . . .

3:51 pm

(Rome aint half bad either)

3:51 pm

ty molly

3:51 pm

ty molls

i hope so i getmalings from viking river cruises, and they make me long to go.

3:52 pm

jmc - we are in our 70's - if we don't go now, we never will. Even our winters in the states won't go on for more than a few years -- medical insurance for the STates is astronoical once you are over 80

3:53 pm

TO -- if you decide to go on a Viking cruise -- let me know before booking - I can give you a referral number that will give $100/person on board credits

3:54 pm

*give you

thank you, nan. is that your carrer?

3:54 pm

that is pretty much my feeling about it. . . go while i can do interesting things like canoeing in the shallows birdwatching. . .

3:54 pm

nice cyber. . .

jmc?

3:54 pm

we have take 4 cruises with them, which gives us certain perks

so they are good?

3:54 pm

yes TO?

:P

3:55 pm

hahahaha

3:55 pm

very good -- book through viking, not a travel agent -- you get a better deal that way and their people on the phone and on line are very good at helping you make the most of your trip.

3:57 pm

*Currently planning a trip to the grocery store : D

3:57 pm

that is good information cyber. . . i think my next goal is an inter-coastal alaskan cruise. . .

3:57 pm

if our travel time to the departure point is more than 8 hours, we usually go a day or two ahead of time to get over the jet lag -- well worth it to do so

there was talk of a long tour though europe, but the money has to work first. it is difficult when one party has moved around the world so much all they want is a home, while the other is the oppposite. and JMC refused to hise me in her suitcase, though I don't take up much room. :)

3:58 pm

but all i carry is a backpack and a purse TO. . . you are too heavy for the backpack!

3:59 pm

The best cruise we've been on is the Viking cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest.

well, i am now.. :P

4:00 pm

nice. . . i have never been to amsterdam but liked budapest. . . they had some roman hots springs . . .

the radio station is going to sweden and amsterdam in june. tre expensive.

4:00 pm

yes -- our one mistake on that cruise, is that we should have planned a few extra days in Budapest before returning to England

4:02 pm

It was our first venture into eastern europe and we weren't sure what we would find

4:05 pm

off for a snooze -- this grid did me in!

have i mentioned that a friend of my got a job as a den mother for a travel agency? she travels and makes sure everyone gets on the tour bus, smooths over accommodations, etc. she rented out her home, she is gone so much. she loves it.

4:20 pm

But before we get reminded, every clue is sacred

seriously, would like a clue for the i 6,if possible.

Thanks, Molly

5:44 pm

You're welcome Annie. This one was a long road, but not to worry. I'm sure tomorrow's grid will be 50 or less. : D

5:47 pm

I think this is the hardest I have worked on and I have been here a long time. Im guessing 64 words.

5:52 pm

I didn't think it was that hard, just tedious. All the A words were the most tedious.

6:11 pm

Oh, you were defining the word

6:11 pm

Yup, not calling anyone Herb.

6:13 pm

ma 7/8 pls - after human (pt)

6:13 pm

nm - pulling a peri!

6:14 pm

Ah but there's another 8 in the sequence!

6:14 pm

That facial twitch ending's getting a lot of use!

6:21 pm

Not as much as you might think, when you look over the entire word list.

6:22 pm

I guess in proportion to 308 maybe not, perhaps I just left myself lots of 7s and 8s to find! 12 left now.

6:23 pm

So many words that are new to me!

6:28 pm

Fireworks, finally. Thanks for all the clues and thank goodness for Lickety and more words.

6:28 pm

Congrats to Liz. Thank you to bubba

6:39 pm

Hi, Chrissie. Long time no speak

Hi Jaxx. It certainly is. Is it too late to wish you happy new year!

6:40 pm

Not at all. I hope you had a good festive season

I did, thank you. Hope you did too.

How's things with you?

6:41 pm

A lovely quiet one as Julie et al celebrated at home

6:43 pm

Mind you, Ithink it was the calm before the storm. Simon has lost his job and their landlord has decided to sell the house.

I get the feeling you wouldn't know what do do with a quiet life!!!!!

6:45 pm

Oh, I would believe me!

Not a lot going on here. Feels like it's just bed/work :(

6:46 pm

How's that lovely grand-daughter of yours?

She's coming on a treat :)

6:47 pm

Got a lovely pair of eyes!

Just heard son is in the uk for a few days at the end of the month for work. We'll get an overnight visit.

I can buy a few presents for him to take back

6:48 pm

Something good to look forward to at a grey time of year

How's Ashley settling back with his mum?

6:51 pm

he's doing so well. Leaving the house will set him back.

That's a shame. Don't they have any rights to stay with a new owner?

6:53 pm

It was a short term let so I don't know. Simon has reacted by taking to his bed and Julie just seems paralysed.

Lazy or depressed?

6:55 pm

Both, I think for both of them. I don't know if I can summon up the oomph again as I have problems with my parathyroid which is making me lethargic.

You need to put your own health first

6:57 pm

I can't see a consultant until mid march so....

6:57 pm

10:09 pm

this was a killer grid for me. Too many unknown words

10:09 pm

wow that was fast bugs

10:09 pm

i am so behind in the gossip

10:09 pm

oh oh, sounds tuff

10:09 pm

probably jmc but you are saving the world and protecting your soul. Gossip is not good for us

10:10 pm

well there are odd words Aloy that may not be problematic for you. Dont trust me!

10:10 pm

au contrare. . gossip allows us to know who we need to hold in the Light. . .

10:11 pm

Bugs, I know you are a long time Babbler, so I do trust your judgement

10:11 pm

and this week i am only saving the world part-time. . . i am on vacation

10:11 pm

hot dog, jmc

10:12 pm

what a lovely way of putting it jmc. I must remember that when trying to decide whether to share or not.

10:13 pm

glad you got it.

10:13 pm

did you check out my icon of me working away on my brief in support of marriage equality?

10:15 pm

life is good. . . Luz is a fabulous cook and i do laps twice a day . . .I could get used to this. . .

10:15 pm

sorry. I try to ignore US political stuff because my husband spends altogether too much time watching CNN and getting all worked up about stuff that does not relate to our lives. I am glad you are on it though. I never understood how the laws could discriminate so much

10:15 pm

margaritas before dinner

10:16 pm

democracy like sausage making is a messy business. . .

the main problem is huge amounts of corruption excacerbated by having only two major parties

10:20 pm

I must depart dear friends. Enjoy the sun and warmth jmc.

10:21 pm

that certainly is one issue book

10:21 pm

10:28 pm

hi o-o, long time no see.. how are you?

10:29 pm

http://tinyurl.com/oyqsjhp

10:30 pm

I am on a new med regimen that is making life interesting

10:31 pm

h'mm, I hope in a better way?

10:31 pm

saving your link, ty

10:34 pm

Will take some time to find out if the regimen is better than the one before.

10:35 pm

Did you have a good growing season, Aloy?

10:39 pm

sorry to tell you, o-o, but our oranges have fallen victim to the "greening" disease that has swept the state.. we are looking for alternate ways to maintain an agricultural exemption.. our neighbors now have cows.. one possibility

10:40 pm

How unfortunate.

10:41 pm

Last year we had zero harvest.. this year some of the trees have rallied and there are oranges to harvest if we can find a company that will do it.. yup, it is a bummer!

10:45 pm

Just to top off the sad story, all the citrus is affected, so we lost grapefruit and lime and lemon trees too..

10:46 pm

Sorry, Aloy.

10:47 pm

On the positive side, I think the worst is over.. perhaps some of the research will come up with a cure or a preventative measure. We are just "small potatoes" compared to the huge groves that have been burned

10:47 pm

and fortunately, we do not rely on orange income for our retirement! LOL.. that would really be bad!

10:48 pm

Good planning.

10:49 pm

Well, we both like working outdoors.. and it is rewarding to watch things grow and bloom.. we just didn't count on this curveball

10:54 pm

Be well

10:54 pm

hope your new regimen will yield the results you are happy with.. tc

10:56 pm

sending positive vibes your way!
