{{hugs}} and good morning my dear sprite

3:58 am

*hugs rose* Good evening dear friend. How was your day?

4:00 am

not too bad. gp appointment where she showed me a letter from workcover who would appear are trying to overturn the medical panel decision....lollll what idiots!!

4:01 am

they are soooooo full of it. But I am sorry you have to go through this. It is not what you need. Only solace is, in the end they will have to pay up.

4:01 am

i know.....i wish they would just wake up and smell the coffee.

4:03 am

I'd rather have them smell something else. Like the shit they are pulling, grin.

4:03 am

btw, although my liver function tests are not yet back to normal, the current test results are half what i was discharged with. and it is official. i have had drug-induced hepatitis.

4:03 am

and my CRP is 9 !!!! * doing happy dance*

4:04 am

omg sweetie. No wonder you were miserable. Isn't it the pits to be so hypersensitive to medication? Glad the test results are so much better already.

4:04 am

oh wow! Now that is good news. *hugs*

4:04 am

and....and....and....

4:04 am

yes?

4:04 am

i have lost another 2kg

4:05 am

lol ok. Well, that is a nice bonus. At least something good come out of it.

4:05 am

when i find them i'll pop them in the post and send them to ruby.

4:06 am

good idea

4:06 am

lol, my son is in the grid, and so am I

4:06 am

yeah, it was very tempting but i resisted...lol

4:07 am

lol

4:08 am

how was your night?

4:09 am

((Rose))

4:09 am

we had a marvellous time yesterday evening, rose. Tim loved his presents, and he enjoyed having us with him. I actually took Rob and Caya home, then rode back on my bicycle and stayed till closing time, at Tim's urgent request, backed by his friends.

4:09 am

hello jaxx

4:09 am

good morning, sprite

4:10 am

wow!!! what a feather in your cap!! you seem to be getting a reputation, sprite.

4:10 am

g'day jaxx dear. how are yo doing, honey?

4:10 am

good morning everybody

4:11 am

Sunshine! Flowers! but still no scan results :(

4:11 am

and heeeere's ruby. * gentle hugs*

4:11 am

OK. They lost my test results at the hospital so I am repeating them. Another delay.

4:11 am

the pub owner told us how beautifully tim behaves there, always helping out, always polite even after way too many beers, lol. Our raising him seems to have rubbed off somewhere :D

4:11 am

oh for goodness sake, jaxx

4:12 am

hi ruby *hugs* how rotten. It is taking long.

4:12 am

aw jaxx, how awful.

4:12 am

Hi, Ruby. It sounds as if you and I are in the same boat.

4:14 am

I just need to know that it's nothing grave plus I am sick and tired of taking painkillers all the time

4:14 am

Just to add to things, My thyroid is knobbly and obscuring the parathyroids so they think they might operate and 'have a dig on the left side of the neck'. Hey, this is my neck they are talking about.

4:14 am

Yes, Rosie, pls post the kgs., I've only gained back 500 gm

4:14 am

so sorry to hear that, jaxx.

4:15 am

yeah ruby, it is time you get that information. I hope it is something easily treatable, and that you will be without pain soon.

4:15 am

*hugs and kisses* to my poor friends, jaxx and ruby. it is so frustrating for you both.

4:16 am

If it ever gets warm enough, I'll go out in the sun but for the moment, it feels more like Marc, except for the flowers

4:16 am

My school friend for over years died last week rom MRSA after an op and another one a year ago from the same thing. I don't know if I want this op now.

4:16 am

60 that is

4:16 am

am I crazy, or does this grid have the same words as yesterday's?

4:17 am

scary thoughts, jaxx. Experiences like that obscure the real odds, which are a lot better. I can understand how they scare you.

4:17 am

jaxx !! that is so sad. i am so sorry for what you are going through.

4:17 am

quite a lot of overlap from yesterday, ruby, yes

4:18 am

Don't you find that an overlap happens quite often.

4:18 am

i find it quite strange that a new word or three from a grid appear in the next.

4:18 am

yes, someone pointed it out to me once and it is true. It seems the randomised new grid isn't that random. There is a kind of progression with the letters of the grid before.

4:19 am

when my husband was in the ER for a couple of hours a few years ago people were coming in and out of his room without sanitizing or washing their hands I was going crazy!

4:20 am

They used to have hand wash dispensers as you entered the hospital and at the door of each ward but they have stopped this now and recommend washing your hands with soap and water but then don't provide such facilities, duh

4:21 am

over here all nursing staff, no matter where they work, have to take a hand hygiene test every year. a pass is 10 out 0f 10

4:21 am

when I complained t the doctor who gave him his rabies shots, who happened to be I charge of hospital hygiene, he said it wasn't true and I was makin it u! He was so angry that he wouldn[t even say good bye to me

4:22 am

(sorry about the typos, my hands are freezing and I'm a little drugged up)

4:23 am

You mustn't upset them, Ruby. Our local hospital has three wards closed with norovirus so something isn't right

4:23 am

don't worry about them, ruby, we can understand you just fine

4:33 am

phantom: emissary

4:33 am

good one

4:34 am

but I can't remember any x's and thoe pages have fallen out of my old scrab dictionary

4:37 am

Xe 5/6 combo, ends as the flower gard****

4:38 am

I thought I tried that, must have been another typo but ty ty

4:38 am

yvw darling

4:43 am

we haven't been to the local Italian resto for 10 days and he just called me to see if we were |OK. How sweet is that?

4:43 am

that is amazing, ruby. How lovely. Did you tell him to bring you lunch every other day? :D

4:44 am

hahah, I wish. But Burt hates their food and John wouldn't go there

4:45 am

who cares. You like it well enough and it is you who needs feeding up.

4:45 am

aaah, half at last and off to lunch

4:45 am

xxmy friends

4:45 am

enjoy your lunch, ruby, and all the best

4:46 am

Bye, Ruby

4:47 am

sitar

4:47 am

A free word people

4:48 am

darn it, I already had that one

4:49 am

Shall I try again? No, better not.

4:49 am

lol

4:50 am

back. batteries in mouse just died and i had to find the new packet of batteries.

4:51 am

lol rose, that is the best excuse for a squirrel that you have come up with so far ;)

4:51 am

lollll.... pfft sprite

4:52 am

*giggles*

4:53 am

and with that, I bid you goodbye. Fireflies. Nice grid, not as many weirdos as yesterday's. jaxx, all the best, I hope the new scan will be soon and the results will be good. rose, *hugs* my darling friend, take care and keep on recuperating. Lots of love.

4:54 am

WTG SPRITE!!! i hope your day is doable. hgs and kisses. xoxoxox

4:54 am

Thanks, Sprite. well done on finishing. tc

5:02 am

I am waiting, for the boiler engineer. Yesterday it was the washing machine repairman. Two appliances out in two weeks. We have hot water in only one tap in the house and it is pot luck which tap works. The washing machine sounds like a jet plane coming in to land.

5:15 am

Babble acting up.

5:16 am

Not for me, Jaxx.

5:16 am

Lots of the dreaded red boxes

5:18 am

I think I have lost Rose now.

5:19 am

I keep missing them by minutes.

5:19 am

Anyway, Zooz. How are you and how is the Isle of Wight? Miserable wet day here.

5:20 am

I am well thanks :-) It is looking rather moody here.And the wind is picking up.

5:20 am

How are you keeping these days?

5:22 am

Looking out of the window I can see the Poplar bending over so it must be windy here too. We have workmen on the roof opposite. They are removing the chimneys much to the seagulls disgust as they were nesting there.

5:23 am

I went for my results and, lo and behold, the hospital had lost them. I have had to start again so that's another delay. It has been six months already.

5:24 am

Other than being a little annoyed, I am fine thank you

5:25 am

I did not think workmen were allowed to disturb wildlife nests. Sorry to here about the loss and delay in your reults and treatment. bloody typical though.

5:26 am

They came in about a month ago and removed three nests with eggs in by the simple method of sweeping them off the roof. I tried complaining in the press and to the police after taking advice from the RSPB.

5:28 am

Good for you.Shame you could not taken photos or video footage of this happening.

5:31 am

It was the Bank holiday weekend so the birds came back and again the nests were swept off. One pair gave up but the other two didn't. So far they have rebuilt 6 times.They won't be able to again as they are now removing the chimney stacks the birds nested by. Poor things. I know they are noisy but they are endangered and on the Red list. All are agreed that working on a roof is not a valid reason for removing nests but no-one wants to do anything about it and I am a little too old to climb the scaffolding and tie myself to it.

5:34 am

LOL no I could not climb that high either.But for me it is the fear of heights that prevents me from doing so.Did not know the seagul was on the endangered list though! plenty of them around here. But they still should not of got rid of the nests like that especially with eggs in the nest.

5:37 am

Do you watch Springwatch? They did a feature on herring Gulls and lesser black-backed gulls. It seems as if there are a lot of them because they have moved in so close to us. Herring gulls are endangered and the black-backed are heading the same way. I can remember a time when the sand bank in the estuary here was covered with them but now there are very few.

5:39 am

I watched most of the springwatch series last year but have not managed to watch any this time round.Must record them, as I do enjoy learning about our wildlife.

5:41 am

Good morning.

5:42 am

Hello, /sukee :-)

5:42 am

It is against the Willife Act of 1981 to move nests of seagulls when they have eggs or chicks in them unless they are causing a nuisance or attacking people. These aren't and weren't. nevertheless they have been sent packing in a rather brutal way. last year they shot the chicks.

5:42 am

Wildlife even, dyslexic fingers.

5:43 am

Hi, sukee. I will get off my soapbox now. I just find it troubling when people come to live at the seaside and then moan about the gulls.

5:44 am

Crazy, it's like people who buy a house next to the airport and complain about the noise.

5:44 am

or move to the country and moan about the cockerels waking them up.

5:45 am

Would much rather hear birds than the highway.

5:47 am

The blackbirds here sing at dusk this time of year. Beautiful song but our parrot has taken to imitating them and he has not got such a beautiful voice.

5:47 am

lol

5:48 am

He also screeches when my husband leaves the room or the house. That is earsplitting.

5:50 am

Here comes the rain, zoom. Really heavy. Those nice workmen across the road are getting really wet, what a shame

5:51 am

No rain here, we actually need it

5:51 am

Sorry I went and got a hot water bottle..my hands are cold..how sad is that..it is nearly June!

5:51 am

Good serves them right.

5:52 am

I love the sound of the blackbirds singing here too, Jaxx.They start at around 03:35am here..lol

5:52 am

Exactly. Being Devon it takes one to tap at what remains of the chimney and three to watch him.

5:53 am

No rain here yet though i am sure it will not be long.

5:53 am

yes but it is such a lovely mellow sound.

5:53 am

Oh I can assure you it is like that here..lol

5:53 am

woo got an 8 by myself :)

5:54 am

Well done. Share a clue?

5:54 am

I bet it is the TR8?

5:54 am

And well done!

5:54 am

Yes :)

5:54 am

You put them on your feet, Jaxx.

5:54 am

Clue please.

5:55 am

I just clued it, Jaxx :-)

5:55 am

Or, in sports you work with a tr...

5:57 am

Jaxx, Here they have just resurfaced a lot of roads. On one of them two days later workmen came along and made a ruddy big hole in it! what is the sense in that.Why do these companies not communicate with each other.

5:58 am

Got it, thanks

5:59 am

They keep filling in potholes here and next winter back they come. Anything but do a proper job.

6:00 am

The workmen have given up and driven away, poor things

6:01 am

It has been like that here for years.It was about time they started to do a proper job. But not for other companies to come along a couple of days later and dig them up again.

6:02 am

We have the Isle Of Wight festival coming up this June. the roads are going to be gridlocked that's for sure.

6:02 am

Maybe they don't speak the same language. lol

6:02 am

Or is it July..Not sure now..lol

6:03 am

I don't think they speak at all to each other..lol

6:03 am

Have you got gym today, Sukee?

6:05 am

Looks like the sun is trying to poke through now, Jaxx!

6:06 am

I hear the phone. Might be the engineer. bbl

6:10 am

Good luck, Jaxx, Hope you get it all sorted without too much expense!

6:12 am

Does anyone have the stats for the lone M please?

6:13 am

Don't have it yet.

my7/40

6:13 am

Okay but thanks anyway, Sukee :-)

6:13 am

Thank you, Ladycece!

yw

6:20 am

Got it! thanks again :-)..eww I hope I never get that!

isn't that the truth!

6:21 am

lol

oh look, the most magical place in the world is in the puzzle!!

6:23 am

How many letters?

5 - it's a proper word. Being from north central florida it's always present!

no 6 letters, duh!

6:27 am

lol

6:28 am

Sorry to have to up and leave but my sister is arriving any second. Thanks for the clues though.Have a great day everyone!

tc zooz

7:19 am

Have we had three big grids in a row

7:21 am

I have tried to upgrade to Babble Pro and even though I have a credit card, it won't accept it.

7:21 am

286,278 and 252...last thirteen grid counts are listed on Lickety's Page

7:22 am

Molly do you know who to contact about this problem. This is me bichon

7:23 am

You would have to contact the board owner about that. dr.god@playbabble.com

7:23 am

ty

7:23 am

Bich, why are you registering again?

7:24 am

Maybe Mr. Bichon is registering?

7:26 am

Mr. Bichon is a whiz kid. He would probably make short work of these grids.

7:26 am

For sure

7:26 am

hello dear friends. Nice fat grid today!

7:26 am

Hello Trif

7:27 am

Hello annie

7:28 am

Morning Trif. How's life on the Southie shore?

7:28 am

school play is tonight - very exciting for all concerned. Much to do, but a happy time. 16 school days left, praise GOD

7:29 am

Ah, are you one of those lucky people who gets paid to take the summer off?

7:29 am

good morning

7:29 am

good morning river!

7:29 am

today is my sons last real day of high school. Next week is finals so I dont think that counts as a real day

7:29 am

I get paid molly, but not enough to live on, which is something I need to stop ignoring.

7:30 am

oh wow, river! Such a symphony of emotions for you....

7:30 am

It has a nasty way of catching up with you

7:31 am

I know.....lots of lasts lately.....last track meet that I was able to attend 2 weeks ago. Last spring concert this past Tuesday night. Last play was in April.

7:31 am

graduation is June 13

7:31 am

My daughter graduated college on May 17 so this has been a big year

7:31 am

Is he off to college in the Fall? Is your nest emptying?

7:32 am

I have no graduations next year River, and I am enjoying that fact immensely. They are exciting, but draining.

7:32 am

OH NO Molly, Sarah moved back home when she graduated. And Keith is going to a local school and commuting to save on tuition. At least his first two years.

7:33 am

My daughter will be with me for a while yet - the starving artist and all that!

7:34 am

Her school loans come due this fall. She is working but no way can she afford her own place.

7:35 am

I remember all that. It was exciting except for the school loans. All paid off now. Thank God.

7:36 am

at my son's college graduation last week, many of the students had decorated their mortarboards. The biggest applause was for the young woman who had written "Debt Free!" on hers :)

7:36 am

I never had school loans luckily but did not go to college right away. I worked and the company I worked for paid my tuition. I went nights. It was alot but wonderful to get my degree.

7:36 am

I wish all the graduates luck, happiness, health and good fortune.

7:36 am

It's hard to get out of college debt free these days.

7:36 am

thats great Trif

7:37 am

I dont know how some families can afford to pay for their kids college. I cant do it. Wish I could.

7:37 am

that is great, river! He is hoping to go to grad school that way - find a job that provides tuition reimbursement.

7:38 am

Annie, beat me one day in QP. Great going

7:38 am

it is indeed problematic, river. My son's companera had to leave school halfway through third year. Her family couldn't afford to help her, and she had run out of student aid. It was really sad.

7:39 am

Bichon why are you here as Bichon2?

7:39 am

My incentive at the time was a particular job I wanted in the company but a college degree was required. I didn't have kids back then so took classes at night. My only expense was my books.

7:39 am

stats for the X pls

7:39 am

I need to upgrade because I reset my computer and I couldn't get in touch with Lickety

7:40 am

That is sad....

7:40 am

Last one mi 7/36 clues please

7:40 am

xe 5 phaeton, then the plural

7:40 am

But you had your regular identity yesterday. Did you do a System Restore?

7:41 am

ty

7:42 am

stats for upper right m please?

7:42 am

I need to get to work - have a great day everyone.

7:43 am

have a good one river.

7:43 am

No, I did a System reset. That wiped my computer of everything but the files

7:44 am

why can't you just log in to Babble with your old id password?

7:44 am

Bich, it did not wipe your computer. It reset it to the default settings. A System Restore will take you back to your previous settings.

7:46 am

Yes, but the reset wiped my settings.

7:46 am

Because I don't know my old password

7:46 am

I tried upgrading to Pro and it wouldn't take my credit card

7:47 am

bichon, you need to contact Dr.G not lickety

7:47 am

Yes, just sent Dr. G an email

7:48 am

Reset does not wipe your settings. You would have to know a lot about computers to completely strip your hard drive. Reset takes your computer back to the default settings. You need to do a System Restore.

7:49 am

No I didn't reset to factory settings

7:50 am

stats for the lone Y pls

ye 5/14

7:50 am

ye 5.14 phae

7:51 am

where you log in...isn't there a 'I forgot my password" button?

7:51 am

My point is, you want your computer to have the settings it had on it a few days ago, a week ago, whatever. That is what System Restore is for.

7:51 am

clue for the top right M please? I know it's a my 7....

7:51 am

But I didn't do restore, I did reset

7:51 am

don't have that M Trif

7:52 am

my, 2 vowels, not bro

7:52 am

thank you annie. whew! nbt

7:52 am

tadone!! finito, now off to work, hagd everyone and ty for the clues.

7:52 am

youre welcome

7:53 am

the lone Y?

7:53 am

Bichon, I know you didn't do a Restore. That is WHAT YOU NEED TO DO to get your settings back.

7:53 am

the lone Y is 5/14---busybody

7:54 am

ty Annie

7:54 am

I don't think that's possible. If you know how to do it, please tell me

7:54 am

yw

7:57 am

Start, System Tools, System Restore...follow the instructions. If you are in Windows 8 just do a search for System Restore

What in the world is the lone M in the upper right (stats?)

7:58 am

You want to create a restore point that is BEFORE you reset your computer

7:58 am

my 5/14

7:59 am

I'll try it later. Time for breakfast

7:59 am

isn't the lone m my 7/40?

7:59 am

that is the my7

5/14? Really? Is my math hokey or isn't that impossible with an M and a Y?

8:00 am

Annie...you clued it at 7:52

8:00 am

yikes, I mean my 7/50

8:01 am

my, 2 vowels, not bro

8:01 am

lol...my7/40, not 50

Thanks!!!

8:02 am

Hi Scrabbs

bbs

8:18 am

My a doesn't work well on my office laptop so I am used to seeing a missing a. Then I have to go back and really hit that a key hard.

8:19 am

phae clue please?

8:19 am

* hands scrabbs a hammer*

8:20 am

ye5...busy body

8:21 am

nosy person...usually Jewesh

8:21 am

*Jewish

8:21 am

it's a Yiddish word

8:21 am

or a Jewish matchmaker...it's a babblet

8:22 am

ty phae and annie

8:22 am

yw

8:22 am

As defined by people here...Babblet: a word that you only see in Babble grids...I would not call ye5 a Babblet

8:23 am

is the se 6 a plural.. I don't have the 5 yet either?

8:23 am

oops XE

8:24 am

yes

8:24 am

bbl

8:25 am

got both thanks to morewords

8:25 am

ye5 is definitely not a babblet, a Yiddish word used frequently to describe a nosy person

Sometimes I wish there were no such things as prefixes.

8:26 am

If you speak Yiddish, of course

8:28 am

my 7 clue please?

8:29 am

ends like a green place in a desert but change first vwl

8:33 am

lynx that's not working

8:33 am

what does your green place start with - before you change the vowel?

8:34 am

o?

8:34 am

morning all and ty lynx :-)

I am back. Contractor arrived and is working in the bathroom. He is hooking up the sink and I will have running water in there today.

8:47 am

back and forth today- movers are loading us up :-)

8:51 am

Howdy everybody. I am redoing my bathroom today as well, scrabby. Am riiping out and replacing all the tub and floor tile today:-)

8:53 am

I hired my partner's husband to do a long list of jobs here. He is working on the downstairs bathroom--new shower stall, new toilet, new vanity. Then he will do the upstairs bathroom--new tub and surround walls, new vanity, etc.

8:53 am

I decided it was time to hire someone rather than attempt it myself. I am a DIYer but do not have the time.

8:54 am

It is a lot of work!

8:55 am

I thought you rent crossie..?

8:56 am

I like to read DIY sites but plumbing is not something I will do.

8:56 am

I do, but if i want in done in a different style than the rest of the inits, i ca step in with ideas and materials

8:57 am

Units

8:57 am

Nice of you to pipe in with that scrabs

8:58 am

Haha. I do like painting. I can do flooring and molding.

8:59 am

For example, i am going wit 6 inch wall tile and european shower heads and fixtures

9:00 am

Nice. Are you doing a design with the tiles?

9:00 am

No, just a random colour swirl wirhin the ti

9:00 am

Wow. My landlord wouldn't allow me to touch anything

9:00 am

E itself

9:01 am

Tileitself

9:01 am

I ask ahead of time and show rhem my intentions

9:01 am

On tablet excuse typos

9:02 am

And since i am paying for the fixtures, it is money in their pockets

9:04 am

Always wanted an overhead raifall type shower head:-)

I had my livingroom painted yesterday. Everything cleaned up and back in place. Looks good.

9:08 am

Hi All

9:09 am

hi hego, love your icon post

9:09 am

Annie, I'm envious. I need to paint but am delaying it.

9:09 am

lol ty Annie.

9:10 am

I used to have the entire place painted at once. No more. Now I do one room at a time. I have slowed down.

9:10 am

I just hate the mess and disruption.

9:11 am

But so nice when it's done.

9:11 am

lol Annie -- I hire someone to do the painting now

9:11 am

Me too. Me too. Lots of work but I am happy when it is done. In the middle of all this, the mah jongg game was in my apartment. Loads of laughs.

9:11 am

nan, I hired someone too.

9:12 am

:)

9:12 am

speaking of which, hego, I have to literally go and clear the decks --- the painters are arriving this aft. to powerwash the house -- painting on Monday.

9:12 am

I have to decide on a paint color for the upstairs bathroom. I chose a new shower curtain--"Adirondack pine cones." I might pick a light green. Cream or tan seems too plain.

9:12 am

Brave girls.

9:12 am

I have pale green in my upstairs. Nice and neutral.

9:12 am

Ooooh...light green!

9:13 am

Annie, the mah jongg game makes me think of Driving Miss Daisy, one of my favorite movies.

9:13 am

Good morning everyone!

9:13 am

Hi Car!

9:13 am

Hi Car.

9:13 am

hi car. :)

9:13 am

Yes, I think I will do light green and then paint the molding another color from the shower curtain.

9:13 am

Scrabs, how is Remy today?

9:14 am

paint the molding white

9:14 am

Running around like a madman. I finally caught him to put him in his room while the contractor is here. So he recovered quickly.

9:14 am

great!

9:15 am

Annie, that would look nice.

9:15 am

good to hear, scrabbs

9:15 am

I like white trim.

9:16 am

The floor will be vinyl tile squares with parquet pattern.

9:16 am

I'm ready to move in!

9:17 am

Sounds very nice. Redecorating is fun!

9:17 am

Scrabs do you have a spare bunny room for Car?

9:18 am

The bunnies can stay...I have allergy meds

9:18 am

bbl

9:19 am

ca 5 following abel's brother(s) please?

9:20 am

I have 5 bedrooms--one for Remy, one for Gulliver, one for me, and 2 are free. Soon I will try to bond the boys in one of the spare rooms. They need a neutral territory in order to bond.

9:21 am

Might be interesting.

9:21 am

I have a similar word but with an additional consonant in it, just before the last letter.

9:21 am

and then plural that

9:21 am

I don't have the list up, so I'm not sure if that is the right one.

9:22 am

It is most of the island that the mutineers of the Bounty ended up on.

9:22 am

They have been next to each other and do not fight. Remy would start humping Gully so that is why I had Remy neutered.

9:22 am

of course - ty car

9:23 am

That should help

9:23 am

If they can be bonded that opens up another bedroom. It will be easier when I have family sleep here.

9:23 am

the 6 that follows the plural doesn't make any sense however

9:24 am

LOL..maybe a carnival person?

9:25 am

one sitting on top of a pile of rocks, maybe?

9:25 am

it's an adjective...

9:25 am

:)

hello, babblers.

1:47 pm

Hi TO

just had the most awkward phone call, was asking a ride for tonight and you would have thought i asked to tag along on the honeymoon.

1:55 pm

uh oh

well, it was stupid of me to ask. even waling around in the dark would be preferable to that chilly reception.

1:56 pm

So, I guess you didn't get a ride.

1:56 pm

sorry to hear...

1:57 pm

Hi Judi!

1:57 pm

Hi!

1:58 pm

Great weather, no?

good guess. one day this person came to pick me up and PUSHED her way into the house, which is probably worth 20% of hers. since that time, she has been very chilly

1:59 pm

Nice today. Yesterday was bloody hot. Rained buckets here at work but not at home. Weird.

2:00 pm

Sounds like not a nice person.

2:00 pm

Did I call you for a ride? I'm sorry. I just wanted to call you a BEE-YATCH.

yes. hot here though the cool off on monday will be good for the plantingser many people view her as very generous. i was embarassed, because i know she is very ricj and house proud

2:00 pm

Finished! Just in time for lunch & other fun things to do!

2:01 pm

congrats jade!

lol you lot can always make ne feel better. honestly, i just wonder what i did. really stpped about the time i met the bf

yay jade!

2:02 pm

Thank you! This one was a killer!

2:03 pm

You can only do one of 2 things TO

2:03 pm

Forget about her or ask her what the problem is.

you are right, hego.

2:04 pm

It's been warm enough to plant here for weeks. I already have blossoms on my tomato plants.

she cannot drive at night so another dancer, who lives with his GF, drives her. they have plans (probably dinner) if she said that I would uinderstand..

2:04 pm

But don't sit and worry about it.

2:05 pm

Planted flowers around the mailbox last weekend. That's the extent of my green thumb this year.

2:05 pm

Yay! for Molly's tom plants!!

yes, it did suddenly become planting weather. the tomatoes will love the humid night.

did you start them from seed?

un6/24, please?

2:10 pm

2:20 pm

Oh no!

2:20 pm

Of course.

2:20 pm

Hmm. Funny how, when the chat turns to the subject of stalking, Ruru always shows up.

2:21 pm

LOL

2:21 pm

interesting even

2:21 pm

Very funny, but Ru is not the stalker here.

time to dig in, ty hego and judi.

2:21 pm

Coincidence, of course. Pay no attention to the trench coat and binoculars.

2:22 pm

lol

2:22 pm

I am horrified...

2:22 pm

shocked even

and there are people who have returned to the game of late who have stalked people. more recent joiners would not know.

stuck on a 4 letter word. how frustrating.

2:28 pm

that's the thing..I just do not put any weight on no matter how much I eat.

2:28 pm

I did not know zooz was a policeman

2:28 pm

*passes Duff beer to wash them down*

2:28 pm

Oh how I despise people who say that!!!

2:29 pm

Sorry, Hego :-)

2:29 pm

Aw geez, zooz. You realize that statement can lead to justifiable homicide?

2:29 pm

You want to gain weight. I can show you how.

2:29 pm

2:30 pm

He's hard to feel sorry for.

2:30 pm

Passes judi a glaze donut and a xanax

2:30 pm

Zooz that is a fantasy of soo many people.

2:31 pm

I really could do with putting a few more pounds on..As I look like a bean pole.

2:31 pm

I didn't think Zoom was a braggart

2:31 pm

I still love him anyway.

2:32 pm

EEEEK! runs from, Judi as fast as my thin body can carry me...lol

zooz, if you hear a drone outside your window, hide.

2:33 pm

I'm too skinny. I eat all I want and never gain weight. I need such problems.

2:33 pm

HEGO!!!!

2:33 pm

sorry

2:33 pm

hehehe!

2:33 pm

slinks her chubby little body off into a corner.

All good here, Hego :-)

2:34 pm

however, i could put them in the pb

dishy

2:46 pm

I will take a fresh baked cookie over a weeks old frozen one any day,

Hey Stid!

2:51 pm

wouldn't want to catch that!

2:53 pm

Trying to iron out the kinks

2:53 pm

never happen!

2:55 pm

Depends on pressing issues...

when you look for a plural and it is not there - add y instead!

Hello. Beautiful summery weather here in the great NOrthwest.

I was on the chat this morning with Zoom and he went off to get a hot water bottle because he was cold. They are forecasting frost for tomorrow. An early Winter?

We'll get that type of weather in June. We say it is June gloom and it rhymes.

5:52 pm

Usually it is Flaming June here as it gets so warm and sunny.

5:53 pm

Chat was off the hook for a while

8:46 pm

oh -- finished up this afternoon and just looked in because Im too tired to do anything else.

8:47 pm

It's been a busy day -- painters came to power wash the house and I had a lot to do moving deck furniture and potted plants around as will as a garden tool cabinet.

8:48 pm

then had to help take 3 trellises full of clamatis down and put them back up after the washing.

8:48 pm

Well, it sounds like it's time to put up your feet and have a drink.

8:49 pm

thought about a glass of wine, but afraid it would knock me out!

8:50 pm

hello 43 to go

8:50 pm

hi harp

8:51 pm

I'm trying to remember if there was ever a time when one glass of wine would have knocked me out. Nope, I think I was born with a higher tolerance for alcohol than that. : D

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

just another attribute of the golden years I guess

8:54 pm

Oh...that is why little old ladies drink from those teeny tiny sherry glasses. : D
