rose, I'm falling asleep, must get to bed, 14 to do and I should be able to get them before the household wakens

2:35 am

goodnight and thanks for clues

2:36 am

sweet dreams dear driend

2:36 am

ugh....friend

2:43 am

dinner ready. bbl

3:18 am

okay, i am going into lurk mode....if anyone needs a clue please call out. happy to comply.

3:36 am

good morning all!

3:36 am

*unlurks rose*

3:37 am

*repeatedly hits the unlurk button*

3:39 am

hm I believe it is stuck

3:41 am

*goes into aussie mode* Coooooeeeee rose!

3:43 am

Hello, Sprite :-)

3:44 am

hello zooz :) About to go to the booth sales with your parents?

3:45 am

No just going to parents.Boot sales are finished until Spring :-(

3:45 am

How are you today?

3:47 am

aw what a shame. I am fine, slept well, which always makes such a big difference. And you, dear man? How are you today?

3:48 am

We often take my father out in the car..and drive him around as you know he does not get out and about.So it is nice for him to have a change of scenary.

3:48 am

that sounds good. Top it off with a cup of coffee on a heated terrace and he will be a happy man :D

3:48 am

Woke up with a headache.Feels like I am recovering from a hang-over. Yet not touched a drop..lol

3:49 am

lololol...cooee sprite. {{hugs}} sprite

3:49 am

that is not good. Did you drink enough yesterday? Is your bedroom ventilated?

3:50 am

g'day zooz

3:50 am

hehehe hello rose, my dear friend. So... what's the deal? You don't come out of lurkmode for me, but as soon as there is zooz, there you are?

3:50 am

No I think i did not drink enough to be honest. But am about to make a cup of tea.So that should see me right!

3:50 am

Hello, Rose :-)

3:51 am

bury your inferiority complex my darling. nope have been rushing around getting meds ready. xoxox

3:51 am

g'day zooz

3:51 am

*digs deep* Heyyyy I found yours!

3:52 am

roflolol....oh my....col....{{hugs}} sprite

The number of babblets I'm finding just by going through your profile Sprite - how useful :)

3:52 am

*hugs rose right back*

3:52 am

hi matty! Glad it helps you :)

3:53 am

awwww, how about my left back??? doesn't it deserve a hug?

And my phantom - torture

3:53 am

yay, hey ya matty

3:54 am

and mine, matty. just couldn't find it for real.

3:55 am

how about tortute...a teacher who like to subject his/her student to agony.

3:55 am

mine is portrait

3:55 am

*hugs rose's left back, and the rest of her*

3:55 am

roflol I like it. Adding it.

3:56 am

ahhhh, now i can rest easy....i have a total sprite hug....lol

3:57 am

any time, dear, any time :) Am an avid hugger.

3:58 am

*wonders how sprite and i am going to get around her home town* we are connected at the hips....lol

3:58 am

just a matter of coordinating our steps. My left leg, your right, and vice versa... we'll be fine.

3:59 am

oh yeah.....

3:59 am

only one year and 4 months to go :D

3:59 am

hey ya zooz...by my reckoning you should be at least half way through that cuppa. where are you?

4:00 am

Sitting here trying to drink a paracetamol the ones that goes into water...it is disgusting!

Ewww - why would you do that zooz? Maybe add a bit of lemon squash to it?

4:01 am

ugh!! i so agree. sip, dear. sip. with lots of other fluid in between.

4:01 am

But I do have my tea in the other cup to take that other taste away :-)

4:01 am

But I do have my tea in the other cup to take that other taste away :-)

4:01 am

amen, brother. If it happens to you regularly that you wake up like this without a seeming cause, zooz, you could try paracetamol with added cafeine. Works for me.

4:02 am

hey ya matty! you still here?

4:02 am

I agree, matty! I always take the tablet variety. Big swallow, gone.

4:02 am

there is also paracetamol with added codeine.

4:03 am

Codeine gives me a bigger headache for some reason.So I don't take those.

4:03 am

lol I know... but that is not an over the counter medicine here. The added cafeine is. I found that a good strong cup of coffee works as well, so it is the cafeine that does the trick.

4:03 am

ahhh, that's because it converts to morphine, zooz

4:04 am

Well I do have my tea, Sprite!

4:04 am

yes, zooz. but did you double dip the tea?

4:04 am

if the tea would do the trick, you wouldn't bother with the yucky paracetamol, grin

4:05 am

Ahh but not tried the tea yet..just thought i would take a parcetamol..Maybe I should of just had my tea...Bit bloody late now.Damn!

4:05 am

ugh, have nearly finished my glass of fluid and just found my tablets sitting quietly beside me. * sigh *

4:06 am

hey there is always next time, grin. *hugs* and healing vibes for your head.

4:06 am

No, Rose. I like weak tea.

4:06 am

Oh I do not want too many headaches thanks..lol

4:06 am

lolollll omg rose... you totally got babbled with that... and now you have to take more fluid... and you have to stay up longer or get out of bed in the night to peeeeee

4:07 am

zooz, i like my tea able to dissolve the spoon...lol

4:07 am

Eewww!

4:07 am

roflol, sprite.

4:07 am

I am with zooz. Weak tea and coffee only my wiener melange. If I wake up like that, I take the paracetamol with caffeine, lol.

4:07 am

zooz, and no sugar....

4:08 am

Just one level teaspoon of sugar for me :-)

4:08 am

don puts sweetener in his tea. and i stand there gagging..

4:08 am

I used to have four heaped when I was a teenager!

4:08 am

Sweetners are disgusting!

4:08 am

ugh that is gross

4:09 am

you just wave the milk over my cuppa....that's all i have.

4:09 am

a drop of stevia for the tea, and never anything in the coffee. Oh, or honey in tea, that is nice too. But otherwise, nothing please.

4:09 am

coffee on the other hand...

4:09 am

i want it like my man, strong, white and sweet...

4:10 am

will make you a cuppa wiener melange when you are here, rose. I bet you will love it.

I am more or less here - splitting my time between tabs - this grid is not liking me and my perimenopausal body is not being nice to me (I've hit the ibuprofen)

4:10 am

strong, hot, black and sweet

4:10 am

poor matty, hugs and kisses dear

4:10 am

aw poor matty. Hormonal stuff is so rotten :(

Periods once every (and my original typo there was appropriate - overy) two weeks is not my idea of a good time

4:11 am

that was for men, to be honest. I like my coffee not too strong and definitely not sweet, lol

4:11 am

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time, Matty :-(

Oh, I suspect I'll live - I have coffee :) Just feeling bleuch

4:12 am

ikr! You start to feel like you are stuck in an eternal period. Have you considered anticonception for the duration? I can (avert eyes, zooz) recommend the Mirena. Extreme low dosage, no pills to take and it works for 5 years.

Implant?

4:13 am

let me look up the english word for this

I suspect it's either an IUD or an under the skin implant?

4:14 am

ah right. It is an IUD with on the spot hormone release.

I can ask, though I may struggle to get homonal contraception as I smoke (naughty matty)

4:15 am

when they ask of you smoke, just tell them 'Never when I have sex."

Haaaa! And that is so true

4:16 am

:) thought it might be!

4:16 am

matty, if you are menopausal, smoking does not come into the equation.

4:17 am

what do you blood hormone levels say? matty?

4:17 am

also, the hormone dosage is very very low. Not as bad with smoking as the regular pills.

Errr - no idea. Absolutely zero. Not been to the doctor in like five years or more.

4:17 am

STRONG, HOT AND BLACK!

4:18 am

see, ruby is with me. Hi dear :) *hug*

4:18 am

no, I like the coffee strong and hot with boiled milk

4:19 am

I love coffee with boiled milk, Ruby too!

4:19 am

i tried everything. implants, cream, tablets, injections. nothing could bring my hormone levels anywhere up to normal. the only thing which helped was a total abdominal hysterectomy where everything was removed.

Yes, well, I rather hope I can avoid that last resort!

4:20 am

zzoozz, a personal question, do you like the skin on top.?

4:20 am

So glad I am a male :-)

4:20 am

owwwkay, rose, not what we would recommend to matty, lol

4:20 am

nope, matty. that is the final resource. and you will feel so much better.

4:20 am

I did when I was younger, Ruby, not too keen on that anymore.

4:21 am

oh, my!! xoxox ruby

4:21 am

last night I ate the ultimate comfort food for dinner, Cream of Wheat made with milk, brown sugar, butter and cream. But I still feel rotten

4:21 am

We are talking skin on the milk...I hope!

4:21 am

amen, zooz. We are all glad you are male :)

4:22 am

LOl

4:22 am

poor ruby

4:23 am

sprite! i had produced my three offspring or whatever is normal. i was so uncomfortable. if matty can achieve this, surely all is good?

4:23 am

what else?

I suppose at some point I'll visit a GP. At some point I'll register with a local GP. I'd still rather avoid surgery given the choice - start with the non-invasive and move on from there.

4:23 am

Just checking..lol

4:23 am

I invited husband's daughter to come in Feb, but she is too busy. I need the help. She suggested I get an au pair

4:23 am

awww, ruby. my poor darling friend. i am so sorry you are so unwell.

Though, like I say, I suppose if I want to do anything at all about it, I'd have to actuallly visit a doc.

This is not something I do by choice

4:24 am

Would be a good idea, Matty.

4:24 am

The pain is really getting me down. The only thing that helps at all is paracetemol with codeine. Morphine and oxycontin don't touch the pain

4:24 am

Sorry to hear you are not well, ((Ruby))

4:24 am

roflool, matty! for goodness sake!! get ye to a doctor!!

4:24 am

I'm getting desperate

The joys of the Babble chog - talking about lady stuff I don't mention on any other social networking

4:25 am

my darling ruby....gentle hugs my dear.

4:25 am

I think you should, matty. Visit a doc, I mean. I know it isn't fun, but it can save you so much nastiness.

4:26 am

pain is very debilitating, ruby. Especially since it prevents you from sleeping as well.

4:26 am

lol, ain't that the truth, matty

4:27 am

husband tries to help, but requires so much supervision, thatth** it's hardly worth it

4:27 am

Matty you should book an appointment now..it will take a week or so to see your doctor.Unless you are one of the lucky ones!

4:28 am

indeed, ruby, that isn't worth the trouble. Sweet of him though. Can't your cleaning lady friend help you with some stuff?

4:28 am

That is good he tries to help you, Ruby. Sorry I do not know what to suggest for you though.

4:29 am

She walks Rufie on her off days (while Burt walks Rafie) and makes a fire. But since she has her own family and big house, she can't spend much more time than her regular 4 days.

4:31 am

Is there nothng your doctor can do for you to help speed up the recovery or give you something more to help with the severe pain you are experiencing, Ruby?

4:31 am

some other friend? Or someone they can recommend? You definitely need more help than that.

4:32 am

Good grief I found a 7!

4:33 am

Maybe there is a food delivery service for old people (I think we qualify (lol) but since we're not part of the system we'll have to pay if one exists. If only there was a Chinese resto

4:34 am

you mean they are really in there, zooz?

4:34 am

zooz, fa7, ru7, ta7. well done

4:35 am

how about making an arrangement with your friends' resto? Ask them to deliver you a simple meal every 2 days?

4:35 am

okaaay. did i put the cat among the pigeons?

I only have the fa7 (because it was clued earlier)...

4:35 am

bad rose

4:36 am

sprite you okay if i cle the 7's?

4:36 am

prostitute is a phantom

4:36 am

lol go right ahead darling... you alreading gave the stats :D

4:36 am

Back later.

A phantom prostitute - now there's a thought

4:36 am

ugh...clue

4:36 am

bye everybody. Thanks for listening to my perpetual whine' I'm too tired to sit up

4:37 am

ru7 is a plural of ru6. most of indian coin + last three letters of handels composition

4:38 am

bye ruby. Will think of you.

4:38 am

ty rose, elegant clue

Lovely rose - thank you!

4:39 am

ta7, a plural..ta6,.ta + vowel + number after nine.

Ah, thanks rose - should have got that one - it's nice and tight :)

4:40 am

yay, matty. well done you

Well done you - I had to have them clued, remember!

4:41 am

* :-) *...grinning at you....

What are the stats for the O on the top row, second column?

4:42 am

ot5/10

4:42 am

sounds like water animal

4:45 am

ot5, ot + black stuff on road

4:46 am

*whispers: stats, rose, stats*

4:46 am

already done sprite. at 4:42

4:47 am

lolllll I know. I meant, matty did not ask for a clue. Though she might have meant that too, I don't know.

4:47 am

ohhhh. okay...zips fingers

4:47 am

ohhhh. okay...zips fingers

4:47 am

ohhhh. okay...zips fingers

4:48 am

ugh...nasty twitch

Tis great - thank you - I'm not fussy :)

I kept looking for out something.

4:49 am

lol I am fussy. Very fussy. Fuss fuss fuss.

4:52 am

interesting image, that, rose... of zipped fingers :)

4:53 am

and now i have to disappear. xoxox to you all.

4:55 am

night night rose *hugs*

5:03 am

this grid is decidedly uncooperative

5:11 am

fireflies at last. *hugs* to you all.

Two left - ti6/24 and gh5/18 - care to put me out of your misery?

5:41 am

... gh + french for high ... or often used with cuisine sans the "e"

5:42 am

... actually that's g + french for high

That's the g! Thanks...now that pesky TI6/24...

Got it!

Fireflies, fireworks, firemen and other firy things

5:44 am

... well done ...

5:45 am

...one more word and I must go

THanks, dose, for your help :)

5:55 am

,,, took a while ...... two thirds ... and back to bed

5:55 am

... luck to all

6:23 am

okay, 90 words i can do!

6:38 am

tadone! finito! challenging grid for a small one.

6:38 am

congrats, dawg!

6:48 am

well done lbdawg!

6:52 am

ty, popping in and out, must do daily clicks and stuff.

7:57 am

good morning, everyone:)

7:57 am

hiya crossy!

8:08 am

lost me on that french one.. I may be wrong , but french for "high" is evelve.. but all the french I know you can fit in a thinble with room left over for something else

8:09 am

howdy. pippin

8:10 am

Good day to all.

8:10 am

The "often used with cuisine" part of that clue made more sense to me

8:10 am

back in the day, our education system used to force us to take french classes, so naturally once I took the two terms i was forced to take, I made it my mission in life to avoid it at all costs. My mistake:(

8:11 am

Howdy, Scrabby

8:11 am

And I think the real meaning of that word is "high class"

8:11 am

hi scrabs and molly

8:12 am

The word he referenced often goes with "couture" as well. HI Pip.

8:12 am

Now I know the word.

8:12 am

good morning

8:13 am

mmm, then it is lost on me. High class round here is not having to first kill what you plan on eating:)

8:13 am

howdy, Annie

8:13 am

Haha, Crossy.

8:13 am

hi crossy

8:14 am

hi scrabbs, molly, pip, etal

8:14 am

What sport is Bobby following now? Does he like basketball?

8:14 am

hi annie

8:15 am

scrabbs, after he chips away the ice around my car, he is thinking of watching the Oklahoma Thunder game..my grandson's favorite basketball team

8:15 am

scrabbs, How are Mary's children? Did her husband ever remarry?

8:15 am

Say hello to Bobby.

8:16 am

I will, thanks, he's standing right here, sends back greetings

8:16 am

Yes, he remarried in 8/13 after a whirlwind 4 month relationship with another doc with 2 boys the same ages as Mary's 2 oldest. It was WAY too fast for all of the kids.

8:17 am

Have they adjusted?

8:18 am

Mary would be horrified at how things have evolved. Stepmom is aloof and not affectionate or nurturing to Mary's kids. Home life has changed. Dad focuses on academic results, not character development.

8:19 am

I am very very sorry to learn this. I sometimes think of Mary's garden. I wonder if her children ever visit.

8:19 am

And she asked that me and nanny no longer visit, so we were booted out in Dec 13. I have seen the youngest several times at the nanny's home. The older 2 are now 14 and 10.

8:20 am

She sounds awful.

8:21 am

The garden was destroyed when the pool was installed. Dad said he would move the garden, but he didn't. He has discarded everyone from the past, everyone that knew Mary. It is his way of grieving, to block out the past, but every day he looks at Mary's kids.

8:22 am

He wanted a new life and got it. Not better.

8:23 am

He has changed so much and has not honored Mary's wishes. I am so sad, because I told Mary I would love and guide her kids, but I cannot. So I played a role for 5 years after her death. I hope the kids remember how much I love them.

8:24 am

Dad also shut out Mary's mother and brother.

8:25 am

He shut out the children's grandmother and uncle? I cannot understand this.

8:26 am

He had disagreements with them so then discarded them.

8:26 am

Three out of my first five are the related fa4/7 and two sh4/5 words and I'm snickering like a 10-yr-old boy.

8:27 am

We got to get you out more, redshoes:))

8:27 am

Haha, redshoes!

8:28 am

Well, yeah. :)

8:28 am

I did go to a Mardi Gras cocktail/formal party last night. That was fun.

8:29 am

This an earthy grid.

8:29 am

Annie, please add little Oliver to yor list. Liver cancer diagnosed last week.

8:30 am

Mardi Gras? Celebrating early Pip?

8:30 am

Oh dear, Scrabs.

8:30 am

OMG. I still have Nathan, Levi, Ben and Aaron and now Oliver.

8:31 am

Molly, it was mostly an excuse to dress up and wear masks. ;)

8:31 am

wasn't me, molly, that's redshoes

8:31 am

tho i see i have a reputastion...

8:32 am

mmm.. hitting on mysterious, beautiful ladies in masks:)))

8:32 am

Oh no, I have my PippingRedGeekShoes mixed up.

8:32 am

there you go crossy

8:32 am

And so was born the phrase "drink up baby, I get better looking as the night goes on"

8:33 am

and you end up with a three dressed up as a 9, as trooper would say:)

8:34 am

It ended up being a big dance party. The DJ played a ton of late 80s/early 90s stuff that I loved.

8:34 am

sounds super fun

8:34 am

It was. I'm glad I went.

8:35 am

I wasn't sure if I was going to go. Haven't felt very much like "partying" lately. Latest on the clusterflip that is my current situation: my roommate moved out.

8:37 am

oy, redshoes, nobody needs that drama

8:38 am

It's all a hot mess. My security system arrived yesterday, though. So that's good!

8:39 am

I don't blame her. She didn't feel safe here now that my assailant is out on bail. But now I have to try to find a new roommate. Bah.

8:40 am

tough stuff

8:41 am

i got lucky, i have a roommate coming in for the next 2 months, even tho it's only a 1-bedroom, and she's paying pretty much half rent even though she'll be weekdays only

8:42 am

Room rentals are so expensive here. On average they are $500-$600/month furnished

8:43 am

hahahahaha you're adorable crossy

8:43 am

That's great pip. I'm with pip, crossy.

8:43 am

$500 just to walk in...not live

8:43 am

why, ty, redshoes:)

8:43 am

That's more like it Annie.

8:44 am

my friend will be paying $500 and she's on the couch or sharing my bed, doesn't even have a room

8:44 am

;)

8:44 am

lol@ paying 500 for a tour of your house:))

8:44 am

500 for couch surfing:((..wow

8:45 am

i mean, she offered that much

8:45 am

a one bedroom in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is about $2500.

8:45 am

but i pay more than twice that, and it's a crazy cheap apartment here

8:46 am

this is just a room we are talking about and not an entire apartment?

8:46 am

hence my excitement to go to chicago and save money

8:46 am

now you're the adorable one pip

8:46 am

mine is a whole one bedroom apartment, and it's a true one bedroom, not a studio

8:47 am

you can't say that chicago is more pricey than NYC

8:47 am

I am in a 2 bedroon apartment overlooking georgian bay and at the base of blue mountain ski resort and I pay 1000 a month all incusive with heat/hydro etc

8:47 am

It's certainly not cheap.

8:47 am

that sounds gorgeous

8:49 am

anything's cheap after this city

8:49 am

I am fortunate to live in an amazing area

8:49 am

Wow, crossy. Too bad it's flipping freezing "up dere."

8:50 am

I would consider living in the cit (in my case that would be Toronto, 2.5 hours south of me) a punishment

8:50 am

it is just winter...it goes away...in June or July

8:51 am

Plus it is not so bad today. Tis a balmy minus 12 C

8:52 am

and again with the adorable

8:52 am

You mean *during* June or July, right, crossy? ;) I'm originally from Wisconsin, so I'm not unfamiliar with the whole "two seasons" things: Winter and Construction.

8:52 am

where are you now redshoes?

8:52 am

we have winter and construction as well:)

8:52 am

(if you don't mind telling)

8:53 am

Music City, USA. Nashville, TN. It's 53 right now and people will still be "freezing." Silly rabbits.

8:54 am

Used to be worse when I loved up north. There we used to have two seasons as well but they were winter and blackfly/deer fly/horsefly/ mosquito season...

8:54 am

10f here if you convert to american:)))

8:54 am

lived*

8:54 am

ah, i have friends from Nashville. Nice place for those who like the South'

8:55 am

10f *is* balmy for you this time of year.

8:55 am

53F and I would be swimming in the bay:))

8:55 am

I'm pretty excited because it's up to 38F here today, I could probably run without a jacket if i wanted

8:55 am

I've been here for 13 years. Love it. Will be up to 60F today. Yay!

8:56 am

We actually have a polar bear dip fundraiser coming up next month and we will be cutting holes in the ice on the bay with chain saws and we will be taking the plunge for charity

8:56 am

Um, no thanks, crossy.

8:57 am

fa7 pls

8:57 am

oof, sounds brutal.

8:57 am

All you have to remember is to keep breathing when your heart suddenly stops in your chest and your skin feels like it is on fire..

8:57 am

oh, well that clearly makes it all better

8:57 am

sorry peri, don't have it

8:57 am

Okay boys and gals, time to be a good little Southerner and get ready for church. 0=)

9:24 am

Reminds me of the woman who saves all her dogs fur after brushing it and turns it into yarn and makes the pooch doggie sweaters with it

9:25 am

the ultimate in recycling

9:25 am

that's not too gross.

9:26 am

wonder if she has ever been tempted to make sweaters for her kids with it as well?

9:26 am

That's a beautiful sweater you have on ma'am. Yes, it's pure Afghan

9:27 am

with a little poodle thrown in.

9:36 am

9:36 am

9:37 am

when my son was about 5, he went to a summer 1890s camp for a couple of weeks and he made yarn from our dog and cat. we still have that in our bank vault.....means a lot

9:43 am

I hope he made yarn from the dog and cat fur and not the actual dog and cat : D

9:45 am

9:46 am

just the fur, ma'am, just the fur

9:47 am

10:20 am

I don't know. It's in my "what are all those weird as shit words that are in Babble all the time" memory bank

10:21 am

And junkie is a perfect word to accompany that, because who else would use one?

4:48 pm

I guess so! Maybe I should pay a little more attention... :)

4:55 pm

So, beyond this week, how's this year been treating you so far?

4:56 pm

this year is off to a better start.

4:56 pm

5:03 pm

Are you staying in the same area? or branching out?

5:05 pm

staying here for now.. eventually moving elsewhere in about 5 years or so.. not sure

5:07 pm

5:07 pm

5:09 pm

wow...that's a change!!! and beautiful country!

5:19 pm

or maybe up Vancouver way.. ya never know

5:19 pm

Washington? or Canada?

5:21 pm

(guessing Canada...but isn't NZ more temperature neutral? not too hot, not too cold...but just righ?)

5:26 pm

Hmm...moving from sunny California to freezing cold Canada. My bet is there is a woman involved. : P

5:27 pm

No...just like the scenery

5:28 pm

mall

5:29 pm

Small changes I mean

5:30 pm

But...if a woman is involved..that sounds good too

5:30 pm

thanks for the clarification...was beginning to think you were reducing your travel plans to US Malls...they are all different, you know. :)

5:30 pm

I hate malls

5:30 pm

maybe it's more about getting away from the huge numbers of humans in california for the beautiful woods of canadia?

5:33 pm

Somewhere less expensive to live

5:33 pm

that's one of the reasons I didn't stay in CA, ru...too expensive

5:35 pm

But still have the woodies

5:36 pm

*zipping lips*

5:37 pm

The redwood forest is pretty awesome...and second to none :)

5:38 pm

I don't know, I could be wrong, but I'm not seeing Ru as a "get out in the woods" kind of guy : P

5:39 pm

ditto

5:39 pm

I like nature

5:39 pm

oh, I misread...I thought you aid he IS a 'get out in the woods' kinda guy...

5:40 pm

that's what I was agreeing to...not to the not out there

5:40 pm

I'm so tongue tied I think I should stop typing now :-/

5:40 pm

any pr6 clues tossed back over your shoulder on the way to the forest?

5:40 pm

you type with your tongue? wow, pini

5:41 pm

there's a useful talent pini :D

5:41 pm

yeah, I know, pretty impressive; probably why I can't type

5:42 pm

Oh, I'm all wrong then. I can just see him now, tromping off into the forest to build a log cabin in Canada.

5:42 pm

oy...timing is everything....

5:42 pm

hi all, help with ga5/16 pls

5:42 pm

I love bringing out the wood molly...

5:42 pm

ga5 = Mr. Brooks (country singer)

5:43 pm

5:43 pm

Mr. Nature. My goodness. We will have a hard time telling who is who, you or Crosshair.

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

5:45 pm

I don't do libraries

5:46 pm

mmm.. i'm leaving it to Judi

5:46 pm

what's wrong with libraries?

5:46 pm

I find Libraries rather binding :D

5:47 pm

*Orders Birkenstocks and red flannel shirts for Ru*

5:47 pm

which should be right up your alley, ru

5:47 pm

<--wouldn't EVER catch me even dead in birkenstocks

5:47 pm

5:48 pm

5:49 pm

5:49 pm

*Imagines Ru becoming the new, Euell Gibbons spokesperson for Grape Nuts*

5:49 pm

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

pr + not me + headpiece in reverse

5:50 pm

i'd rather eat a bowl of gravel then grape nuts

5:50 pm

thanks, ruru :)

5:51 pm

birkenstocks are the most hideous footwear ever created.. except for those stupid monkey shoes that KJE wears hiking

5:52 pm

*sigh*

5:52 pm

actually gravel would be easier to digest than grape nuts

5:52 pm

sigh?

5:53 pm

yeah, I'm confessing to owning a pair...but typically only wear them around the house in the summer as sandals/slippers

5:53 pm

Oh seriously, I agree. Those "foot gloves" (although I like monkey shoes better) are heinous.

5:54 pm

need help with the 'ru' words ... anyone?

5:54 pm

*sends puka shell necklace to pini

5:55 pm

let's not go that far, ru!

5:55 pm

ru + part of not cake and ends in handel's masterpiece

5:55 pm

I wear Doc Martin's and Romeo's, too!

5:55 pm

*and some lava lamps*

5:56 pm

those are a waste of electricity, ru!

5:56 pm

*futons*

5:56 pm

*putting foot down*

5:56 pm

Oh my, not into pretty shoes at all, are you?

5:56 pm

*bean bag chairs*

5:56 pm

whatwhatwhat?! doc martins are FABULOUS

5:57 pm

whatza doc martin?

5:57 pm

I used to be, Molly, but well...they don't fit in much here, too pretentious

5:57 pm

Ru, see? If you are into the forest life, you are going to have to change your foot gear.

5:57 pm

um.. jes.. they look kind of weird

5:58 pm

http://www.drmartens.com/us/

5:58 pm

tell me these are not pretty! http://www.drmartens.com/us/Wo\nmens/WOMEN%27S-1460/p/11821016

5:58 pm

Um...no...

5:59 pm

no jes.. those are not pretty

5:59 pm

looks like shoe wear for gay infantry

5:59 pm

you are a liar and/or have no fashion sense, ruru.

5:59 pm

those are little much for me, too

5:59 pm

And the chat got blown for floral army boots.

6:00 pm

I'm looking for a pic of mine

6:00 pm

There are a few British skinheads that would take issue with that, ru

6:00 pm

http://www.drmartens.com/us/Womens/806\n5-MARY-JANE/p/12916201

6:00 pm

with floral boots? Jaxx?

6:01 pm

I am not impressed with skinheads either

6:01 pm

Oh good. Let us all keep posting long urls that blow the chat width.

6:01 pm

Good evening Babblers

6:01 pm

sorry about that

6:01 pm

hi whit.. how are you on floral army boots?

6:02 pm

No, the original Doc Marten's were brown lace up boots.

6:02 pm

sorry for the link, didn't know it was a problem/doesn't mess up mine...

6:03 pm

we need to send skinheads to the middle east.. let them work it out

6:03 pm

Whether those links mess up your chat width or not, they have extra \n's in them that make them unusable.

6:03 pm

doc marten's look like red wing boots sorta

6:04 pm

does that mean that jes is a skinhead?

6:04 pm

NO! I have long purple hair, ruru

6:05 pm

to go with the floral boots.

6:05 pm

oh.. how are you on piercings?

6:05 pm

If I thought spending $135.00 on floral boots was a good idea, I would buy them just to show up at a construction site and see what the reaction would be.

6:06 pm

The flowers on my boots all died in the snow.

6:06 pm

3 in one lobe, 2 in the other, 1 tragus, and 1 nipple - used be 2 but one worked out.

6:06 pm

Thankfully, my sister-in-law's family owns a couple of shoe stores; I love getting family discounts!

6:07 pm

nipple sounds painful

6:07 pm

it was. but not quite painful enough to keep me from getting the second one :)

6:08 pm

*Takes a deep breath and thanks God we didn't hear about the "other piercing" *

6:08 pm

ouch

6:08 pm

<---pierceless

6:09 pm

and for the next logical question - 3 tattoos

6:09 pm

oh.. I could see having a small tattoo

6:10 pm

I always wanted a tweety bird tattoo on my butt

6:10 pm

but now.. i'm more mature and dignified

6:10 pm

2 dragons and Bruce's print over my heart. Mine over his, too. got 'em done on our wedding day :)

6:11 pm

print?

6:11 pm

Water...everywhere...

6:11 pm

finger print

6:11 pm

oh

6:12 pm

bet that hurt too

6:12 pm

Molly, we have snow everywhere.

6:12 pm

a bit, yeah.

6:12 pm

Do you guys wear vials of blood around your necks, like Angelina and Billy Bob used to?

6:13 pm

Wht, you all are in for it again. Bless you.

6:13 pm

no. chains snag in my hair. he got me an eternity collar. and a tag with his phone number from Pet Smart.

6:14 pm

eternity collar?

6:14 pm

Wait, chains snag in your hair but nipple piercings don't...oh never mind...

6:15 pm

I'd link to a picture, but that makes people sad. you should be able to find it online pretty easy, ruru

6:15 pm

well, i wear a shirt most of the time, and the nipple pierce is a bar, not a loop.

6:15 pm

ouch

6:15 pm

now what's ouch, ruru?

6:16 pm

brings a whole new meaning to belly up to the bar

6:16 pm

Eternity collars...also called slave collars...you get the drift...

6:16 pm

oh

6:16 pm

hi, babblers (some eternity collars are pretty cool - you'd not know what they are if someone didn't tell you)

6:17 pm

my servant days are over though to be honest

6:17 pm

basic description of the collar, ru, is that it's a stainless steel ring with a hinge and fastens with an allen wrench

6:17 pm

oh jeez

6:18 pm

<---very behind the times

6:18 pm

oh my

6:18 pm

and it is very pretty

6:18 pm

good thing bruce's name isn't allen

6:19 pm

I guess I'm pretty behind the times, too...had to look up "targus" and "eternity collar"

6:20 pm

wooo - interesting results when i just looked up slave collars

6:21 pm

mine's not... scary. eternity collars . com / necklaces / titanium-collar

6:22 pm

*imagines jes' bedframe was created at Ace hardware*

6:23 pm

no, but the nylon straps under the mattress came from Ace.

6:23 pm

lol

6:24 pm

sounds like bruce jenner's bedrooms now

6:24 pm

i like the titanium bracelet cuff

6:24 pm

oh ....straps...

6:25 pm

memorize your safe word, ru, and make sure you share it before the fun begins

6:25 pm

50 Shades Of Babble

6:26 pm

That's what I was just thinking, Molly...

6:26 pm

safe word?

6:27 pm

you don't have a safe word? you really are behind the times, ruru

6:27 pm

http://bit.ly/MG4Vh0

6:27 pm

hard to talk actually with a gag in my mouth :D

6:28 pm

true, true, better arrange a hand signal then.

6:28 pm

the lurkers are definitely afraid to enter now

6:31 pm

they're all busy looking up eternity collars, slave collars and safe words

6:31 pm

Yeah, the guess what my cat did today story won't fly tonight

6:31 pm

LOL

6:32 pm

heh, i remember, years ago, looking up a particular sort of piercing and ... well, it was an education

6:32 pm

*points at ru* he started it.

6:32 pm

Molly, does your cat have an eternity collar?

6:32 pm

... please be good ru.. please be good.. don't do it

6:32 pm

Yeah, I'm one of those lookin' up words...

6:33 pm

...and what a lesson I'm gettin'!

6:33 pm

Wht, let us not get into pet S&M (I don't have a cat, never will)

6:35 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today?

6:35 pm

heh. pets are an entirely separate hobby and never the twain shall meet.

6:35 pm

omg..

6:35 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

6:35 pm

Howdy, I have one last word. It's the ti 6-18. Please clue before I lose my mind! :)

6:35 pm

breasts deutsch

6:36 pm

or one to be more clear

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

*Thanks God that the ASPCA will not be storming Jess's house tonight*

6:36 pm

6:37 pm

Even the grid is in on this conversation! LOL

6:37 pm

Someone needs to say nipple again

6:37 pm

6:37 pm

nipple

6:37 pm

Oh, good grief. It's always a simple one. Thanks, ru. That's FW for me. Keep having fun everyone.

6:38 pm

6:38 pm

well .. when she said nipple bars...I pictured something else entirely

6:38 pm

Congratulations Deutsch on your fireworks! Hooray for you

6:38 pm

*Puts beverages far, far away from the computer*

6:38 pm

:D

6:39 pm

Thanks, Min! And thanks to all who helped even though you may not know it. I read and enjoy the chat most days.

6:39 pm

*wonders what ruru was picturing*

6:39 pm

Sorry I did not help today. I just entered the chog Deutsch.

6:39 pm

a bunch of breasts on a counter?

6:39 pm

I'm getting the whole image now, what with the multiple piercings, tattoos, slave collar and floral boots.

6:39 pm

...and, no doubt, another interesting chat today, eh, Deutsch? :)

6:39 pm

I mean I read the chat most days. I enjoy it always.

6:40 pm

brb

6:40 pm

like a margarita bar

6:41 pm

and yet I spend all day 6 days a week being a productive member of society and regarded as a professional. weird, huh?

6:41 pm

Very fun, Pinkula. Time now for a cocktail. I'll second the margarita.

6:41 pm

lips are sealed here jes

6:42 pm

wonders if jes' hair is kinky too

Hello welki! How are you? Just wondering if there is going to be another Babble meetup in Jersey in March. Wasn't it March last year? If so, please send me e-mail with details.

6:47 pm

i was back east in november, min - but too busy to meet up with anyone but family. don't know about spring, since one of my kids has since moved to vermont. i still have one in southern nj - if there are any plans in the future, i'll let you know for sure

6:48 pm

Where in Vermont did your child move to? I grew up there.

6:50 pm

they're up in bennington

6:51 pm

which is kind of funny, since when i was young, i used to rent ski houses with friends near there

6:51 pm

I've heard of Bennington, but I'm not sure where it is in Vt.

6:52 pm

where did you grow up?

6:52 pm

8:13 pm
