hi, you wonderful people
Hey you WONDERFUL FLOSEY!
hello flosey dear
I've been plodding along alone for quite a while! - actually went to bed but couldn't sleep so back here until .....
Lord, I do know that feeling, flosey.
I can't just lie there and think, head gets into everything going on!!
for the first time in 20 years, we will have all 4 of our kids, one dil, one sil, 3 grandsons under my roof at the same time, for grandson's and my b'day
where are you going to put them all flosey?
one dil couldn't get the time off work
well, daughter, hubby and son slept in a small tent on the upper deck - that will work, if no sign of rain
Oh, my.
grandson loved it, thought it was a hoot, - he went out all by himself and went to sleep!!
he was 3 then
is this the grandson who you have been planting the christmas trees for?
yes
i bet it will be a wonderful time.
it was, rose, daughter, son and his son went down to the ocean with their guitars (middle of the night) and played and sang on the beach til morning
that's the older grandson, he was 15 at the time, 2 years ago
Great bonding then, eh, flosey?
indeed, the distance doesn't interfere there, I love to see them all together
Wonderful, wonderful.
ty
this will be over the July 1st Canada holiday
and finally, FW and time to get to bed
or 6 and 7, last words
Congrats, flosey, and sweet dreams.
goodnight Rose and Peach, thanks for listening to me rattle on about my family!!
I love to hear about families coming together.
I'll get a pic of the gang!!
Great!
good morning all
{{{hugs}} and good morning my darling sprite
hello my dear friend *hugs rose* How was your day?
HI and hugs friends - what good timing!
it was very quiet. apart from church, haven't done very much. how was your night?
hello Liz! *hugs* for you both. How was your day?
{{hugs}} lizgirl.
sounds good to me, rose. Nice and relaxed. How did you sleep and how is the pain?
Excellent - friends here for lunch. They just left and it's now after 6.00
oh nice! Sounds like y ou had a good time together
Barbecued - and sat out side all afternoon. Laughed a lot :)
sprite, have gone back to regular analgesia. ibuprofen th5 times/day. slept reasonably well. woke a couple of times, but managed to go back to sleep again.
That sounds as if it's working quite well for you for now. I hope so.
ah good, rose. I think that is a good decision. You need something to ti4 you over until they think a new infusion is safe.
Back in a minute
*sets stopwatch*
roflollll. poor liz
hmpfffff running off while we are together here. Better be back in time!
now hang on!! liz may have been polite and did not give TMI.
I don't care about polite, lol. I care about having Liz here with us. *angelic face*
oh yeah, right!!
see, I knew you'd see it my way
in this case dear, the two positives mean a negative.
*mumblemumble subtleties mumblemumble details pfff*
*mumble semantics mumble*
lollll you're muttering!!~~~!!
*mumbles louder*
* really laughing out loud *
so... what is keeping Liz! It is 10 minutes now. I think it is time to think of a fi4 for her.
how about write us an email with her eyes crossed?
that would be interesting reading.
yep that would work. Easy reading as long as we cross our eyes as well
hardiet - very tough food regime
And back - clean sheets now on bed :)
in other words the sprite diet....
Didn't have time this morning, what with cooking etc.
no kidding... you left us hanging for a couple of clean rags? Tssssssk.
Ah but the comfort tonight ;)
too true, rose, lol. Shall I add it? Or not funny enough?
add it !!
Definitely a good word - all those tough food regimes.
oh I know, Liz :) I love clean bedlinen. A quick shower before bed and then clean body against clean sheets... lovely.
ok, adding it
Didn't want to change sheets before going to bed - then all I want to do is get into the bed.
aw poor Liz, I was just pulling your leg, lol. No need to explain. Real life comes first at all times.
I know - I didn't take it that way.
good :)
OK - just read back - I did overrun the stopwatch just a bit.
just a bit! Times 10! You owe rose and me an email written with your eyes crossed. Just so you know.
Not a hope
rose thought that up and I am backing her
How's life with the girlie household.
don
don't change the subject liz.... email
oh quiet. Lovely. Caya went horse riding yesterday, was gone all afternoon. And I slept on the couch, half reading, half napping. We ordered dinner, lol. And spent most of the evening watching some half scientific programs on dinosaurs, and talked and talked and talked.
Forget it! In fact, i wrote the last email to both o fyou.
sounds like a lovely way to spend the day.
you are too right. And I had promised to answer the next day and I haven't done so yet. Will try and make up for it today.
Seriously, whenever you have the time and inclination.
I have been lazy. I love emailing with you both!
It still takes the time and being in the right frame of mind.
I love hearing from you too.
that is true. *hugs*
Must stop trying to enter deficit :(
am struggling with that Q tile. Are there some weirdos among the Qs?
I only have 3 of them
yeah me too
Have sort of been avoiding it ;)
hahahaha that works too
5 now
only one weirdo. qu6/30 uses an old fashioned past tense with a vowel ending
still 3
2 x qu 6/30?
4 now
yup
Got it - random guess
I have 2 of those, yes
qu 8/9, sprite?
nope, those are my missing ones. Are they odd, or am I just being blind?
Mathematical and pl
qu8, in maths, result of division.
oh of course! Thanks, both of you
hah, two grey tiles achieved now.
2 grey here too but still 4 blanks - all vowels :)
let me see... I have 3 blank vowels still. And not a single 7, lol. Biggies blind as usual.
Oooh, just remembered French shit
Only 1 7
lol the french shit was one of my first words. What does that say about me... ouch.
I forgot it was accepted.
rotified cotified quotified... jeeezzz don't they look like valid words to you?
Sure do
lollll i tried them all
lol :D sister of my soul
Have you heard from Pugs recently?
no, I haven't. She asked about rose's health not so long ago and I have answered her, but haven't heard back yet.
Hope all's well with her.
yeah, i need to get a move on with writing back to her. mea culpa !
end of may, she was ok. Her sister not so much, she was hospitalised with crazy sugar ratings.
Her ex hasn't been around, I hope.
Didn't he once have something to do with the sister's sugar rating?
nope, no ex stuff. Her new love has moved in with her by now. Yeah, the ex gave her stuff she shouldn't eat. The new love has diabetes himself, so he will be a lot better for her!
and Roy was moving in soon
on the 25th she said
but it seems it is not only what she eats. In the hospital, her BSL went haywire as well.
That's such lovely news - I really wish her all the best.
I'm sure they'll sort it for her.
she is a powerhouse of a lady. The way she turned her life around... it is amazing.
That's very true - have to admire that.
I sure do.
rose, was that the 25th of may or june?
in her email she says 25th june. she wrote on the 25th may
the delay was because i was checking the facts
Whichever - very exciting times for her.
ah ok, then it is still to happen. Thanks.
I hope it will mean a bit of relief for her. If Roy is as good as he seems, he should pick up a part of the load she is carrying.
I hope so.
Hardmen not accepted :(
nor sinman
Only one blank letter now
Got it
which one?
yessss well done!
The 2nd o on the top line - nbt and nbs
After 145 words - lol - took some time.
hehehe I wasn't at all quick with it either today
Funny thing was I thought that the oc 5/14 should be there but instead of trying it, I just kept looking and not seeing it.
oh lol! In case of doubt, always just type it in. Babble rule # 324
I'm only up to rule #279
ah that explains it. It's all those clean sheets, of course. Such a waste of good babble time.
True and gym and eating too - not to mention sshhhh The Hubby :0
* giggling *
ok... we really need to get you prioritised stat!
Talking of which, in spite of large lunch, starting to feel hungry again.
rose, we have to take that girl in hand. She is all over the place and SO not focused on babble at all.
I'll look forward to it :)
lol
fireflies. Very enjoyable grid today
sprite you take the lefty, i'll take the right one
WTG SPRITE !!!!
Hubby just attacked me - yummy
Congrats, Sprite. 70 left here.
*gets into position* Ok rose... together now.... one... two....
lol good hubby!
OUch!
TWIST....
OK - time for food - lovely chatting to you both. Hugs
*giggles*
enjoy, Liz! *hugs* for you and your beloved
{{hugs}} and kisses to you both.
hmmmmm, apparently they call it food up there.
Hugs always extended to you and your partners
Rose, I think I better be off too. I can do a bit of translation today, getting closer to finalising the ordered translation so I can move on to my own :D
Sleep well Rose. Enjoy your day, Sprite - more hugs to you all.
thanks Liz *hugs*
lol rose... yeah... food huh. Nice euphemism.
np's my dearest. enjoy your day. xoxox and {{hugs}}
*hugs rose* you try and sleep well, darling. Take care. Lots of love.

Catch that Yellow Cab!
hello again
Howdy, MLF
uotha
hi cross
douglas I don't understand your clue?

the last clue mlf is for the na 7/32 and sounds like the small fish in oil you get in cans with the kay to open them
key
Have no idea aboput the cab
about
cross yes I knew what the stats were just didn't understand his clueo
ty both
Oh, I'm trying to shorten Monty Python reference clues, without success "Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his ****,"
never heard of it. sorry douglas
I have hard of some of them but not totally familiar
used to love the old Monty Python's Flying circus series though
"Catch that Yellow Cab!" was the last line in the last verse in the Chuck Berry song mentioned by weiki in an attempt to clue na7/32
smelly fish in oil:)
:)
could put a case of them in the cab I suppose:)
Hello everyone :-) I must be the only Brit not to find the monty python sketches funny. Not trying to offend anyone just never liked it.
My wife does not care for it either, zooz
"Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, I drink therefore I am" Love that song!
Glad it is just not me then, Crossy :-)
zooz I don't like monty python either
I have to be in the mood for it. it is very 'dry" humour
i would rather watch benny hill
I prefer mr bean:)
I like dry humour but hitting a car with a branch on the bonnet does not tickle my humour senses.
Hahaha yes I do like Mr Bean!
are ro 5/6 related?
not my cup of tea either
I have not seen any of him in years, but remember him trying out frying pans in the shop with a fish he had in his pocket:)
ro5/6 yes
haha yes I remember that one, Crossy :-)
Plus when he gets the Christmas turkey stuck on his head LOL
jess clue please?
do you have the c7 yard game?
yes
It's almost that
hello peeps
Hello, TO :-)
am i changing the last letter?
hello,zooz
hi owl
drop the c for the 6, last letter for the 5
ty
yw
I am pretty certain other brits didn't care for monty python
I have yet to meet one, Ru.But you could well be right :-)
Their gags often didn't do much for me either
lots of french in the grid. just found a nice ma 6/30 that sounds like the overhead display at a theatre
just missing the last e is all
I even tried watching monty p stoned and it did not help
LOL
Would of thought being stoned made it make sense..lol
Used to try that for regular cable T.V programming--did not help...
Must admit i have never tried weed so have no idea the effect it has on you.i heard it is good for back pain.But about all i know on the subject.
I'm happy for you that you were able to find some attempts at humor that you enjoyed. I am declaring moral victory after getting half the words without Lickety or morewords. Happy Babbling!
it is good for back pain, arthritis, and dietary issues with cancer patients among other things.
But moderation is the key:)
I'll smoke to that. Good morning, all!
I also heard you can buy it in chemist in some parts of the states. I think, cosdem, was talking about it a while ago.
LOL Hello, Judi :-)
Doctors here in some states can prescribe "Marinol" - usually only to cancer patients or those with chronic pain, seizure disorders. Laws from state to state are different. Marijuana oil, which apparently has no THC (the high) can be prescribed as well for children. Delaware (where I live) is inching closer to legalizing it for recreational use. However, there will be age restrictions, etc.
I think once states embrace the fact that they can regulate it and TAX it, legalization will domino around the country.
Colorado is a prime example.
Ah yes I think that is the place, Cosdem, Was saying where you can buy it openly from.
Washington state is legal as well now?
Yes. Folks are setting up boutique stores. Tourism has increased exponentially. Duh.
The Canadians are watching with great interest:)
Don't know about Washington, Crossy.
Delaware is only going to legalize pot for gay married couples
I think Zoom..."high" would be a treat to see posting. Someone needs to make that happen. : D
I was under the impression that three state have made it legal
LOL, Ruru!
Lovely rose con, Molly!
icon*
Colorado, Oregon and Washington State are the three legal States so far
<---likes to make judi laugh in the a.m.
thought so
California doesn't bother with legislation since dope smoking is a thing of everyday living there anyway
Last I read, Delaware was planning on still making it illegal to possess/use in public, but changing the charge from criminal to civil. So, you'll be able to buy it, but you just can't wave it around or subject anyone else to your 2nd hand smoke.
it is really stupid in California.. all the tax dollars they could have if they legalized it
I figure if you guys get all the states on board, then our movers and shakers will have no choice, otherwise your tourism will be just insane:)
Honestly, I think it should be legalized. I think the crime rates would go way down. Everyone one would be so mellowed out, they wouldn't want to bother to commit crimes.
Snack sales will increase 5000%:)
lol. Obviously!
speeding tickets would drop in California :D
I'd buy stock in Haagen Daz if it passes
Although DUIs would probably increase.
Millions of dollars could be saved in policing, court time and prison time if they would just give up laws against marijuana. Really, as a friend of mine often says, I would rather meet a stoner in a dark alley than a drunk. The drunk will probably beat you up. The stoner just wants your Cheetos.
All the cops will have to carry thc meters
They will have to figure out a legal limit for those behind the wheel
Oh, and all the money spent crop dusting to see who is growing what, where.
Because back in the day we used to smoke stuff so strong that I would have not know my own name even if the Lord himself parted the heavens, leaned down, and shouted it into my face:) Now, however, just plain old fresh air can be a challenge some days:)
There will be no more vegetables or fruit at the farmers markets!
it's funny .. pot never did much for me.. pretty much stopped after high school
And people will not be so grumpy
We stopped when we decided to have a family
Never did much for me either, Ru. However, I'm told the stuff grown now is MUCH stronger. Ah, we should all be so thankful for agricultural progress.
Yup. not many fist fights going on at a weed bar:)
there's no way I could smoke today's strong pot
Well, I would imagine things could get ugly if the weed bar ever runs out of brownies or personal pizzas.
Hilarious. Dope and French feces discussions. All the old prudes have left the building.
Seems you can order it with specific THC levels now
there are a few players here I'd love to watch try to chat when they are stoned however :D
The snax better not run out!!
I think my spelling would improve...
I would have axed about snax, but thought better of it.
"and now for Crasso's tifbids...er tidbifs.. er.. ah shit forget it today :D
lol
lol
that it was "axked"
Dude, does anyone have some bits, or some tid's bits, or some bits of any snax kind?
Have to change it to Bits&bites of the day
or Bits&Bytes:)
We would all just changes our Babble names to "Dude".
Enthusiastic poster: Ouhhh...I luv Crasso's tifbids...more, more, more!!!
we'd all have to abide too
Okay dudes i need to get my munchies..err I mean my meal. Have fun!
Peace out, man
Jeff Spicoli would be so proud if we all changed our Babble names to Dude.
hang loose zooz :D Dude!
I'd be proud If I could find a friggin o in the top row right
A show of hands for all those who still have their Richard Nixon roach clip:)
Anyone who has not seen Fast Times At Ridgemont High can feel free to ignore that comment.
a colour, ru
See Ru, if you stuck a U in color you would have known it.
there is a trio for this o: oc 5/14 oc 6/24 and 7/36
ah.. thanks
Oooh. Found the Qu8. *smug*
Do not diss our letter u:)
pl it for the 9
ooh a qu8?
*smugger*
got it
thanks
Speaking of farmers markets, I really do need to go to ours today. Need more strawberries!
bought some yesterday myself.. delicisos
mm, be lots of goodies at the farmers markets now:)
Would be less of a chore if it wasn't 90 friggin degrees out.
been rainy and 60-70 here for last week or so
kind of overcast here right now
I agree Judi. This heat wave is oppressive and no end in site.
So, I best count my blessings
*grateful the east coasters aren't complaining about the snow any longer*
I'm sure the Babble chat monitors are nodding their heads in agreement about the weather talk.
I'll take anything over snow.
Except cicadas.
Sends a collective BITE ME to Ru from The Right Coast about the weather. Some of us are not blessed with perfect weather all year long.
Yup, it can rain till October if it wants to
LOL
*note to see.. east coasters get a bit touchy about climate*
self
Though i get a charge out of hearing my brother whine because it is 60F and we are at minus 40c with snow up to our armpits...
You ever try starting a car with the oil frozen solid in the crankcase/ Makes us a touch snarly:)
the only crankcases I see are around here :D
:P
Pffth. Like you all don't have dog sleds parked in your garages.
Up north we used to slide a coleman stove under the car to liquefy the oil a bit so it could turn over--after you carried the batter back from the house and put it back in again;)
battery
No dogsled. they are expensive. they run on 12 frozen salmon a day!
We DID keep snowmobiles tuned up and ready go go at a moments notice, though.
I can only believe that people who love snow and cold choose to live where it is that way most of the year.
Just call Yeti Express.
their service abominable
TBH, I would be lost without a true winter. That may change as the aches and pains increase with time, but, for now, it is what I am.
Hair gets into everything on the Yeti express
That's not hair, that's packing material.
but they do have big feet
Winter...cold, nasty, bitter...I could live without it the rest of my life and be a happy person.
Ditto, Molls.
Big, fat and hairy. The Yeti Express.
sounds like valentine's roommate :D
"When it absolutely has to get there when Hell freezes over."
Nothing like taking the snowshoes and heading out on a sunny winter day in January. The light bounces of the crust, and glitters like diamonds( hence the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness) and the snow pack beneath your shoes cracks in the still, crisp air. You are alone, and one with nature as you hike through the trees-- hoping not to freeze solid before you reach a warming station;)
Oh *sniff* another Hallmark moment
you are alone with nature because no one else is dumb enough to go out in the cold :D
Sorry, Crossy. No amount of lovely prose can make me like snow.
Try to hold it together, Molly
Don' fall apart on us:)
Lovely prose?
I bet Molly can't get out of a Hallmark store without weeping :D
Nah. She just opens all the singing cards and runs.
it is hard to write poetic prose about dehydrating your body in a desert...:)
Told my brother he should get into the beef jerky biz\
Gotta go get my berries! See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*
tc judi. I am off as well for a bit.
it takes a whole day to get berries?
My beloved is like the glittering diamonds of sun reflecting off the snow. The staff that guides me through the perils of my lost life. *Sniff*
*sniff sniff*
going out for a while, bye
: D Bye Annie, have a good day.
I'm guessing now that listing would be a wise idea
firewords! tx all cluers - cr6/21 like salad toast bit was my last
bye dan.. sorry. lost in finding a's
congrats, dan!
It's okay sir, we have no problem with you.
: P
de 6/33 ?
God word with almost frozen water ending
tx molly!
thank you..
looked far too long for that one
I'd say it's a Babblet, but it's not
found a bunny
and some birdies
Birdies?
Harp is kind of obsessed with any animal iteration in the grid
I have booby birds
T word Matty, rhymes with what you have (plural) on your hands if you scorch them on the stove. Never heard of them called Booby though.
Is that ti4/4 Molly?
My mistake. My clue is not here. I never think of breasts as boobies.
Probably English slang :)
I think of them as love cushions :D
When I think of Boobs.. I think of Ted Cruz
there's lots of birdies today
And they have a place to sleep also
And they have a place to sleep also
And they have a place to sleep also
Birdies and boobs and their place to sleep. All good.
I think the difficulty of these puzzles is their ability to present words up and to the left. It is not the way most of us were taught to read.
that must be why i'm good at it .. my brains are scrambled :D
That's okay. I have no problem with you, sir.
Boobies are common slang...
Gorgeous icon and great quote, Ru.
I love his writing. I have read all his books.. he's a great writer
i just reread this book on my trip to BC
Nice to read books by people who can write well.
Kumbaya? Lol
me5/14, please?
don't have it marc
ah, french crap
the first fi5, please?
harpjane I don't get the clue
ocean plus fourth letter
only 84 groans, ruru? hi all, late start here but worth it.. the wedding was beautiful . First wedding we can remember attending where alcohol was NOT served.. strange for us, but everyone just toasted with their water glass.. in a beautiful country club, so poverty was not a factor
hi alo
hi harp.. I enjoy finding creatures in the grid, too
yay!
I still cannot find the me5/14 am I that clueless?
ooh, found another ungulate
the french word for shit, marc? didn't you learn that in French class?
It is 50 years since I took French and I wasn't very good then. I will look for it though.
not U but **+ * you rea*y for som* football?
just found three baby birds in a nest on our balcony!
I love it, Harry!
found it thanks sorry to be such a problem
lol marc np
robins had triplets this year
they seem very hungry
waiting for mama to come back with wormy dindin
We raised some abandoned birds a few years ago. It was a blast! And a lot of work!
The have to be fed every 20 minutes for the first few days.
how would I know if they're abandoned?
No parent for an extended period of time.
need a bird-cam
se 6/21, 2nd one pls
Harry you can hear when they are being fed by all the gurgling sounds so you don't have to hover and be visible to the parent to keep an eye on things. Good luck with the babies
ty bugs
one who sews edges together?
ty Aloy
going to list soon, but that is my second se 6.21 bichon.. oh good, you found it
yep.. 84 groans .. i'm slacking
Hi ruru.
I took note of that author you mentioned.
howdy ru
morning ms. saw
he's a great writer
many of his books are out of print though.. so you have to buy them on Amazon from some Library sale
never been ms. saw before. Mrs. Noah, yes
you have an ARK?
we have a great second hand bookstore here where I can often find odd things
of Wolves and Men is another great one he wrote.
I don't lend them out any more as I never get them back and I cherish them
two actually. Mr Bugs is building a 42' barge in our back yard. When it arrived all the neighbours came out and called me Mrs Noah, asking what we knew that they didn't.
I don't lend out of print favourites either
well neighbors don't like it when you barge in on them
another groan for your count. Thing that strikes me funny is that we now have doves in the neighbourhood cooing away!
you should have a few animals walk by house in pairs .. that would create a fuss
the house
that would be so cool if it were possible. We have 2 cats but that is all
42' barge is huge!
call rent a llama :D
I know. He split it down the middle, moved it apart 4
we are supposed to have a very wet year next year.. so it might be good to have a barge around
I have a great line for you for mr. Bugs... bugs
4 feet I mean (can't find the button) and filled in the middle all by himself so it would have a wider beam and wouldn't flip. Then he rebuilt some engines and is now working on a 2 level wheelhouse. You can see it above the barn now but the neighbours are all good.
I thing they want a ride when the flood comes.
I will bite ruru. What is the line"
"well dear.. sure... whatever floats your boat!"
:D
you have a trailer for a 42' barge? wow.. hope their are wide turns on the way to the launch site!
I must try that with him. Thanks
Aloy, heaven forbid he should start building a trailer for it!!!!!
on the house..
well... is he building it over the water?
I keep asking him to turn it into a house boat so we can live on the water in the summers but he thinks he will have a better chance selling it for a work barge.
then there would be a barge at large?
if it were priced well .. it could be a barge-gain
No, there are professional boat movers. They brought it here in the first place. The second one is stored on an acreage place nearer to the water than we are. It is much closer to being finished but I despair of either of them ever being used by us
am wondering if you have waterfront in your back yard.. like how do you get such a large barge from the building site to the water? oh..
hey all!
You are on a roll, ruru! So glad to have given you a topic you probably have not explored before
hi there stid!
hey stister
hey stid. You have seen the barge. It takes up a lot of space doesn't it
stidster that is
ok, rack up a groan for barge-gain..
LOL
All the ladies groan for Ruru ♥
too funny Molly
here's Hoping!
The barge is a marvelous thing, everyone. I LOVE the innovations and the careful construction. Mr. Bugs is a natural-born artist and engineer. *look of admiration* AND he is a fine cook. AND he is kind (which is the most important thing).
I'd saw Mr. Bugs is a Keeper!
But yes, the barge is big. BIG-big. Which will make it perfect for use on the more-open waters of the Salish Sea.
"say" that is
it is the most important thing to me for sure. I just wish his hobbies did not take up so much room and require so much junk. Still, the junk part keeps the costs down
whoa.. that gives a whole new meaning to my better half alloy :D
:-)
*sends stamp collector kit to Bugs for her hubby*
thanks ruru. more virtual stuff is all we have room for
oh..uh oh
<---trying to downsize here..throws stuff out every weekend
well don't tell Mr Bugs about it or he will arrive with a truck to bring it home
whether he needs it or not
LOL Mr. Bugs and I have a LOT in common!
I am starting to think about what I NEED for next year and try to come up with a plan for disposing of the items I really DO NOT need... I am likely to start the year with only about 22 students. That will be a refreshing change of pace!
that is a nice number. Grade 3 again?
YES. I get a "do-over" and already I know so many things to do differently (and better times of the year for other things). AND I am told the kiddos already assigned to me are a nice group. Which I believe will be true. So far, the kiddos I have worked with have been just so nice.
I must be off to meet a friend for coffee. Just had a house guest leave and need to catch up with others now.
Happy Babbling everyone
sounds great, stid.. when does your school year start? Bye, Bugs..
later bugs -- will "see" you again soon!
Our kiddos will come back on June 2. We'll be in the building for mandatory training on Aug 31, but there are a few days of "summer institute" that we can be paid for in August as well.
you mean Sept. 2nd.. right?
having long lags, but no red bars, yet
stid is on the Mayan calendar alloy..
LOL yep. Sept 2
Sorry -- multi-tasking
np.. you need some time away from thinking lesson plans to recharge .. hope you have a wonderful vacation
First lesson plan is Months Of The Year
:-D I loved my year, Aloyisius. So different from middle school (not better, just different). Lots of different challenges.
glad you had a good one, stid!
me too! I was awfully nervous going in. :-) anyway, down to 128 and probably should get one more thing done. blog post in progress! have a great summer, all! *poof*
bye for now, stid
hello folks
hi peri!
I am going to check out a walking trail not far from me. Supposed to be a fairly easy walk. Hoping to meet some new people.
and new friends.
sounds great.. is the trail through the woods or around a pond?
I am not sure. I will let you know.
It is apparently a very popular trail.
Peri is going on the stroll
god, I remember that dance, The Stroll.
I need to get out and do things other than shopping and errands.
Been a long time? (Led Zepplin reference)
h'mm, think I know what is going on with the lag time.. advertisements are popping up in the background, (I can hear them).. think I'd better do CCleaner as soon as I finish.. annoying
altho I did get a nice blouse at Marshalls on sale.
I am pretty sure it was not Led Zepplin
I am stuck with 65 left. may have to go to the list soon. Both Doren and another friend of mine are in Paris (but not together)
and my god daughter is in Paraquay and I am here playing babble
bbl
ok, time to do some maintenance.. poof!
You would be better off installing an Ad Blocker than doing C Cleaner on a repetitive basis.
C Cleaner is a real pain. When I do it I have to reset all my passwords, etc
You shouldn't have to clean your C drive if you are regularly using virus and malware protection
That's what Norton recommended
I don't know if it's really true
hi all - spent the morning golfing. My team came in 3rd in the tournament :-)
changed to avast. loveit.
bichon you can choose not to delete saved passwords in CCleaner
grats,nan.
de 6/33 please?

penquis, set free, forgiven

hi dcseain
i am done!... :o)
good job penquis. this is a long one
good job penquis. this is a long one
ty....just worked on it tonight....was in Boston over the weekend...
nice people in Boston
went to an early music festival...
oh neat! What kind of music?
early....like medieval to baroque...
i play in a recorder group....went with a friend to drop off my recorder for repair and to buy some new music...
I love that stuff. The beginnings of choral music and the harmonies they found. lovely
yes, a lot of recorder music is quite nice....especially trios, quartets or quintets....
must have been fun
yes....it's a big festival...lasts 10 or 12 days....we just went on Friday and returned tonight....went to a great recorder concert today before leaving...
wow. what is it called? I would like to look it up. We don't have festivals for that length of time out here
Boston Early Music Festival....tons of concerts (most cost money, but some are free)....there were vendors from England, Germany and other countries there...
I am off to have a look ....
concerts take place around the city...
some good stuff. I don't care for opera but listening to Monteverdi vespers of 1610
thanks for the tip
you're welcome....the concert i went to was the recorder player today....he was phenomenal....
anybody here?
i am...sort of... ;o)
are you done,pen?
yes...
nice grid .
yes....took me about 2 hours, perhaps a little less...
'evening
sorry to be rushing through the end. too many things to do today. the AM9 looks like troubel.
nah, you can get it
hi,welk.
very pleasant grid.
hi welki...
the am 9 is a pt of a real word...nice for a change...
reading back, i would have liked to have gone to the early music festival with you :)
it was fun....it's held every two years...
it sounded very nice
road trip to st. martins in the fields!
past tense of an amword?
yes, think of the human rights organization
the present tense is not in the grid....
ty

am 9....check the chat on this page...
pen, what time? i dont see it.
ty pen. got the other 9. whew.
yw...
any clues for the A bottom right corner? one word.
hi, mkg - how's zakkai doing?
it's am 4, i think....common word in babble....
he is stable which is great. the largest live tumor he has is not growing much and so no surgery needed. and his fantastic physical therapist is doing miracles with his spine so that it is also stable. we are all very thankful for this. because he is so strong (amazingly strong), he can do the exercises to have his muscles in back and chest hold him upright where the vertebrae are missing. we pray for continued "status quo". thanks for asking welki.
pen, not sure about the am word. i have most of them from the A in third row last column.
so glad to hear good news, mkg
am4/6 is the corner a ..
ty torgone. any clues? i have so many am 4 words.
i dont have a 4/6. searching.

Busy day ..
Don't judge me ..
LOL.ok
:^D
Had a nice hike today with my son ..
ah.. that's great.
quality time
Yep
how many kids do you have ?
Three .. 2 older girls and a son ..
wow
Just kind of happened ..
big age difference?
Not huge .. 5 years
oh..
I never had kids.. kind of regret it now
Well, it's all a matter of being in the state you are in right now. I would have liked some things to happen differently, but they didn't happen that way. Right now, the people I care about -my kids, are near me, and I am happy with that. What has gone before is done, and where I go from here is my choice.
i'm only here for a few minutes ru--but isn't it odd that we have the Oz man in two days in a row? or was it day before yesterday?
