Congrats, FishFish!
ha... my job I in the grid
hi everyone :)
nice small one for sunday nite
I think I have monkeyed three times more words than I needed to!
good morning all
good morning sprite, and friends!
hiya Triffles :) *hugs*
hello dear one!
hi sprite and trif :)
hi mrp
hey there mr p
how are you and yours doing, Trif?
its 4:49 am and I am awake. yech.
ugh, that is night in my book...
have been having awful sleep problems all summer - think it is, uhhhh, "hormonally related due to age" - is that discreet enough?
Hi all! I presume I was the only one up at 3:20 a.m. making salsa chicken for the crockpot? :)
hi magmom :)
at least you are being productive, mag. i'm stewing all right, but not chicken
um yes, magmom, I actually slept at that time, lol
poor trif... feel for you
forgive my ignorance, sprite - do you observe daylight savings times in the Netherlands?
Bless your heart trif. I have similar issues. The fam has taken to referring to the house as the meat locker.
Hi mrp!
hot flashes, Trif, lol. Give the ugly thing a name. My remedy is to take a towel with me in bed, and dry off every time, then go back to sleep. And I keep a ventilator running.
I prefer "power surges"
yes, keep a fan on your feet... that works too
yes we do, Trif. One hour ahead of our 'normal' time in summer.
thank you. so we are seven hours behind you right now, or eight? its almost 5 am here....
I was browsing the catalogues the other day and found a foot fan for the bed! Would love one!
yes, you are 6 hours behind me. It is almost 11 am here now.
thanks
my husband saw one of those on the 'net. I thought it would be awesome to have that fan blowing up my sheets all night. :)
all those time zones in babble are confusing enough without throwing in the extra DLS times, lol
the weather here is not helping. it was very overcast and rainy yesterday, so I thought it would be a good day to garden without fear of sunburn, but it was strangely hot and muggy as all hell.
yes! It is so nice when having the sweats
a fan is amazing in relieving the hot surges issues.
plus of course the towel to dry off. You feel so much better without that sweaty layer.
especially under the sheets! LOL
and today the humidity is supposed to be off the charts. makes it such a SLOG to get anything done. Mind you, ANYTHING is better than the snow we had this past winter!!! Would you believe the last pile of in JUST melted this past week?
otherwise I might just have to move my bed into the fridge
*in Boston. That was supposed to say the last pile of snow in Boston
ugh Trif, that is a lot of snow! But mugginess and high humidity in heat is awful. I can't function much with that. It is like I have this elephant sitting on me all day then.
imagine parking the bed at the open fridge... ahhhh
PEREFCT description, sprite! And a sweaty elephant at that
I saw that about the Boston snow pile! That wouldn't have lasted in Oklahoma. It's been like the seventh circle of hell here.
yeah, a very sweaty elephant indeed
Sleeping in the chest freezer might also be helpful, mrp
LOL mag mom, 50 points for literary reference!
Yay me!
they make electric heating blankets, why not electric cooling ones? How damn hard could that be?
I am going to see and endocrynologist (spelling?) in a month... I really need to get the hot/cold stuff under control
it would sell billions trif!
they seriously make a fan that attaches to the foot of the bed and blows air up the sheets. It's brilliant.
yep... fabulous
have you seen the cooling mats you can get for your pillow??
I've tried the "Chillow." Don't waste your money on that one. Thankfully I picked it up off a clearance rack
great minds mrp! That's what my last comment was about.
You all are such a comfort to me, you have no idea....I felt so alone, but really - we are not!
when my pillow feels too hot, I turn it over.
Nope. I'm rapidly approaching 47 years and I had so hoped my declining years would be comfortable. LOL
that was an expression my Midwestern college friends used, sprite - "cooler than the other side of the pillow"
Im looking right down the barrel at 50, mag....its such a laugh around here - my birthday is in a month and a half, and I keep asking my kids how the preparations for my surprise party are coming
lol, nice one, Trif. And no, you are not alone. It is normal. We women have to go through it, and most of us suffer some discomfort for a couple of years.
just checked out the chillow... doesn't work though?
If they're anything like my kids they have no idea what you're talking about
lol Trif. Quite the surprise that will be! :D
not a very good design feature is it?
Menopause - a pause to reconsider men.
It tends to bunch up and that's as uncomfortable as sleeping hot
So is menapause a discomfort?? like when my ob/gyn said that labour pains were a discomfort LOL!!
I am scared now!
no, it isn't. The Big Guy probably fixed our design on a Monday Morning. I mean come on... bleeding every 4 weeks for most of our life and then all this menopause stuff to finish it off? Back to the drawing table, I say.
labour pains are hell. Menopause is indeed a discomfort. A BIG one.
I'd rather go through labor again than be hot.
labor lasted from one to three days....this is dragging on and on and on
It was laughable when he described labour as a 'discomfort'... I wanted to kick him in the face when I was in transition
that doctor needs to talk to his wife. The idiot.
yes, he has 5 kids too! But was suprised to find some people don't have pains at all...
That's like when mine told me there weren't many nerve endings in the cervix right before he biopsied it. I might have blurted out some very unladylike expletives at him
mrp, a male talk show host here once asked a woman ob if men could really ever understand labor pain. She told him to pinch his bottom lip, as hard as he possibly could. He did so, and said "Oh, yes, this is awful." To which she responded. "Yes. Now pull your lip over your head."
Ha!
ouch like hell magmom!!
morning everyone
it was Phil Donohue, magmom, remember him?
I was adopted, so while I was laying there in labor my mom's like "does it really hurt that bad>" I was all "come closer and let me show you."
lol one of my doctors came to me after Caya was born. It had been a horrible situation for all involved and I kinda tried to apologies. And he said to can it, that he had asked his wife to describe it to him after their child was born. And she had said: Well imagine pushing out a rock the size of two fists through your nose, honey.
or put an umbrella up your penis hole and open it, then pull it out slowly
Oh gosh yes, we watched him every morning at 9 during the summer
roflollll magmom, and right you were!
YIKES mr p!
hi katie :)
and yay for Phil Donahue
hiya Katie :D
and after that 15 hours of labor, I ended up having a c-section anyway because Zac's heart rate kept dropping. Come to think of it, he's still the most difficult child.
I read an absolutely fabulous essay the other day, written by a journalist who was sent, against his will, to cover the Sports Illustrated bathing suit shoots. I quote "As a homosexual delivered by Caesarean, I am at a double remove from appreciating the displays of the SI issue." I laughed SO HARD
Hi katie!
lol nice one
oh dear!
I howled...double remove....lololol
Whet
Love it

conweed - looks like a weed, but once removed you realise it is a plant you intended to keep
lol !
lolol - story of my life this week, sprite!
lol
my theory is: if it comes right out, its a precious plant. if you can't get it out with a back hoe, it's a weed
too true!
and off I go to the PB, to weed....
maybe somebody LEFT some weed in there....hehehe
I'll keep you company. Let's get us some goodies.

I am thoroughly enjoying the dictionary!

hehehe, yes it is good for quite a few laughs.
there are so many that should be words!
it is a production from lots of us babblers, actually.
siftable for sure!
that is how it started. So many words we find here that are simply missing from the official dictionaries.

Good morning, everybody:)

hi, all
Howdy, Angelsong:)
we are beginning to plan a special trip to Hawaii that will happen in a few years
I am not sure where to begin...we will be staying for two to four weeks...and we plan to pay cash as much as possible to avoid credit card bills, so we are saving money now.
I am trying not to think of this as the trip of a lifetime...too much stress in that.
very nice:) I would, however, suggest travelers Cheques in lieu of cash.
4 weeks of cash is a lot to be hauling around
cash is a generic term here, crossy. we will be using travelers checks.
Ahh, that is well then.
Cash here means rolls of 100 dollar bills;))
Used to mean $1000.00 bills, but we no longer make them:(
crossy, right now, they are just $20 bills...lol
I get you; with me they are 5 dollar bills and a poct of looines and toonies;(
thing is, I am not sure how it will be, due to my wheelchair. I do not plan to do any hiking....but we will need accessible hotels
Planned right, it will be amazing, i am sure.
And now it is time for Crossy's word of the day!!!
Today's word is "Graphospasm" and it defines the cramp you get in your hand from writing too much:)
LOL Cross
I have je4, je5 and ju4. Could someone please tell me the stats for the last 'j'
cross I looked for it and it is not in the grid/???????
je4/11, Marc
thanks
sh7, please?
Angelsong, all hotels have to be accessible unless historical sites. and Hawaii, all the islands are accessible by wheelchair. The airlines are probably going to be the biggest hassle, and even then that's mostly just those that use the steps and not the jetways.
marc, beach housing? or is that beer and lemonade...
thanks got it
yw
Beer and lemonade is with a D
thanks, molly. not being a consumer of alcoholic beverages, I was just going by the sound of the word.
Ah yes. I am a consumer of those beverages and I have listened to many an Irish sea sailor sing a sh7
time for brekkies and then off to work. have a great day/evening everyone!
Have a good day LBD
et6, please?
I found it thanks
for the
for the 'n' in the 4th column I have no4 what are the stats for the other one, please?
ne4
thanks
lol, Marc. It is not in the grid. It is just and interesting word of the day i like to post. My "word of the day", is almost never in the grid.
nbt and nbs!
took about 8 minutes today. I suspect the remainder is going to be considerably more difficult.
halfway! bbl
Wow, for all the words they don't allow in this game I am surprised je5/30 made the cut.
I am surprised at that also
Enable allows a lot of words that are derogatory to race and religion
That is because its origin was at one time neutral and not an offensive stereotype.
they allow everything. they do not recognize many words.
Don't buy that. When and how was it ever neutral?
It could use an updating to be sure.
I am just quoting from dictionary.com freakinandpeakin. You will have to research it yourself.
That word was always offensive.
Then write dictionary.com and correct them.
I agree Annie and Freakin. I don't think je5 was ever neutral.
it allows. sheeny(ie) it allows dago. it allows other words in the same vein.
When you put it in dictionary dot.com it comes up with je5/30, it come up with the 3 letter version.
doesn't come up with je5/30
i should say, it recognizes them a matter of recognition, not permission.
If you feel a dictionary or a dictionary site is incorrect feel free to contact those who manage it.
If you scroll down, it does mention the verb form and defines it as such
dictionary.com and The Enable Word List are two different things. This site just uses dictionary.com for definitions. Which is why, sometimes, there is no definition...because Enable allows a word dictionary.com does not recognize.
it also means "Having a jewing, or jew-wattle, at the base of the lower mandible, as some breeds of domesticated pigeons." This may explain the words presence in babble.
hello, annie.
HI there, Owl, sometimes you just have to laugh
Indeed.
how are you holding up in the heat? my car threw a code for the emission system yesterday. so stranded again, with a full week of travel planned.
hmmm.
Oh no! Thank God for A/C. Staying in today and watching the Yankees and Mets play.
i was to have company but they got sick. i am having someone over in the am and need t straighten up.
my fault, long overdue for a new one and have not taken action.
Hope you get the car in good shape soon. Enjoy your company
no company. just business.
well then, have a good day.
i am sure, given a thousand or so, that it can be righted. beginning to nickel and dime me.

Hi car, happy Sunday to you too :)
congratulations pen! car came just in time...
Yeah for pen
Congrats Pen
I am not so competitive. Sometimes I llist early, other times not. I am a blase Babbler, a dilettante, Dabbler Babbler so to speak.
:)
ty!....i list when i hit a brick wall....sometimes i try going away and coming back before listing, but today i didn't...
good job pen, it can be a slog toward the end with no list...
I feel like a newbie but the break has taken away all pressure to finish and instead of babble expert I now list if I want to but not if I can't be bothered
I do this for me...not to compete.
Great attitudes, kids. Find words for fun, no pressure to finish, chat with buddies, ignore the meanies.
AMEN! :)
I don't mind not finishing.. unless I am close.. then the OCD in me pokes its head out ;)
Scrabs, you're back!
Hi scrabbler :)
How are the leeches?
lol
Back from the Adirondack Mountains. Doing laundry. My head, of course, is still in the mountains.
Yes, I just got back from the Poconos. Know the feeling.
It's so serene up there.
I actually got FOUR leech bites. I showed the photo of the bad one but then recalled wipping off bloody messes from 3 other spots on my feet.
*wiping
ewwwwww
what Car said.
The big bite is swollen, red, and very itchy. I never knew that leech bites could cause this reaction.
Yep what car and help said
allergic reaction?
We could spread a rumor...Scrabs went to a spa in the Adirondacks to get leech treatments....
*hego (auto correct on the pad is driving me mad
that rhymes
I wish there were leeches that did liposuction.
I would have very enormous leeches if there were...
that would be nice.
you guys are too funny
:D
OK...so enable takes "doeth" but not "sayeth"?
I would need hundreds of adipose-hungry leeches.
We could share a batch, Scrabs
HUNDREDS!?
5 left, eses and tees, not my faves
Anyway, I have had ice on my leech bites for 2 hours.
does that help?
I'm not a friend of the vowels, myself.
me either
whed
sorry
The ice helps the most--instant relief.
I have all the W's if anyone needs help.
swmbo..I have all but 2 T's if I can help with those.
It's good for poison ivy too.
Howdy, Scrabby! How was the vacation? I saw your pictures and it looks like you girls had a great time:)

Howdy, Min!:)
Hi crosshair! How are U doing today? Is it hot way up here?
Warm for us at 27C but we are doing well:)
It is a scorcher here in NY. Will be spending the afternoon in my friend's pool. Hottest day of summer so far I believe.
less than 12 weeks to go and we will have snow threatening again, so i do not mind
Sorry, I keep losing my internet here...lost the entire reply to you min...
Hi crossy :)

Howdy, kate:)
Temperatures are 91 Fahrenheit plus humidity. It was 125 on my deck this morning in the sun & that was in the a.m.

I love to see my brothers weather.. 1 sec...
fe 5/16 word is f plus ea 4/4 word mkg. I also have a story
We ahd a slow start to summer this year (aside from a few wonderful days to te 5 us in May)...Now we are plagued with the heatr and humidity that seems to have settled over most of the continent... but 'til now the sleeping weather has been glorious!
ty min for clue. got it.
yw mkg
i love the heat so i can swim.
CROSSY BITE YOUR TONGUE!!!! DO NOT - REPEAT - DO NOT MENTION THE "S" WORD!!!!
lol! now that is a switch!! he is only at 26C in Henderson NV!
I am sorry, kate;)
looking for jane's canine..
I will DEFINITELY be swimming today. I have not been in a pool yet this year. This will be a first. Not really not a pool person. I am self conscious of my body in a swimming suit.
it's okay crossy.. I'm a bit touchy on the subject ;) need to cool my jets ;)
I love my winter activities just as much as my summer ones and tend to forget myself:)
everyone looks great in a bathing suit once in the pool min - don't sweat it, just do it :D
I think you also ne 4/5 to go to the PB Trader Kate. There is AC in the Penalty Box though in case it gets too hot. Not sure about a pool though.
uh oh...<hangs head in shame and shuffles off to the PB... hoping there are some goodies there along with the AC>
btw, ty for the head's up - didn't have that word yet...\
Ok, I ne 4/5 to go get my fat ass into a suit. I leave you all with a story of clues in profile. I will be back later tonight.
next place i have will have one of those lovely wooden-bladed low-profile ceiling fans in every room (except the bathroom and kitchen of course)
bye min, and thanks again! enjoy your day :)
min, i wear shorts over my swim suit because of this. and sometimes a t shirt too. so dress as you wish.
one of those flimsy wrap around sarongs maybe?
my daughters have cool stuff they swim in. short skirt things and tops. better not to get too much sun on the skin they say.
Wear sunscreen! You can look at my melanoma scars on my belly if you need motivation to slather it on:)
better to wear clothes cross.
My brother makes me laugh. he sends me pictures of the local "saddle ladies" in Vegas. Their skin is the colour and texture of fine-tooled leather:)
yes, clothes help:)
done. fireworks. by all off to work
ciao
congratulations mkg!\
Good afternoon! Nice short grid:-)
Howdy, Sally:)
hi sally
Hiya crossy! See, we're all drifting back from FaceBook.
lol. I am not normally a Fb person, but i go in there for the mrs, and sometimes to vent:)
I noticed:-)
hi all, having a tuff time with this little grid
I am just over half-way and slowing a bit.
more than vent
Hi Aloyisius :) long time!
23 hiding from me, going to list now ..
howdy TK.. hope all is well with you.
I listed with 25 still to find crossy, then most of them popped right out :D
:)
All is well Aloy, how are you doing this fine Sunday?
I have 42 to go. If I can half that, I will list:)
hoping that will happen for me..
54 to go here.
should be cleaning, TK.. company coming .. but you know how that goes when there is a grid to solve, lol
lol... nothing like a good diversion from chores!
My company has to take me as i am. If they have to push books, cats or crafts out of the way to have a seat, then so be it:)
the mop and bucket are sitting there staring at me..
cleaning, shmeaning.. I should be doing the same - yet, here I am ;)
Checks definition of cleaning in dictionary:-)
exactly my thought crossy - they are visiting ME; not my home...
And food is whatever is currently on the stove
prob. why I like yardwork.. lasts longer than housework
ooooh - CROSSY FOOD..... nom nom nom
today, if anybody pops by, it is chicken breats in a mushroom cream sauce on a bed of aldente pasta with garlic bread on the side
breasts
ho 7, pls and a sizzling hello from the humidity capital of the US
crossy, what's that you say
Howdy, Bichon
am fixing meatloaf for supper.. think I prefer crossy's menu
We have plaice done in lemon, plus veg from the garden.
okay, you go to crossy's house for dinner, I'll go to yours ;)
i was going to make cheesy garlic bread, but i seem to have a horrifying lack of cheese in residence at this time:(
yeehaw, dance at a ho7: combine a garden implement with not up
I've got salsa chicken in the crockpot and it smells ah-mazing!
Hi all!
hi magmom
with my meatloaf i use and egg and a packet of turkey stove-top stuffing. it is delish!
Thank you aloyisius! Gave me the not up as well.
yay, wtg Sally
<GASP> faints dead away... NO CHEESE???? say it isn't so....
it is tragic when the cheese ends before the month does!! :(
I use a bit of oatmeal (uncooked) along with the other add ins
ho 7?
and a dash Worcestershire sauce, of course.
I stock up as much as I can when they go on for $4 for the larger bar
a hootenanny bichon
Kate- try throwing in a bit of freshly grated parmesan. Gives it a little kick
or whats-this-here sauce;)
jsut clued bichon by aloy
ty ru
yw
and aloy
lol crossy :) I like tpo put cheese on the top to melt near the end
hi ruru :) .. and bichonk
I get 1 pound blocks of 3 year old white cheddar for 5 dollars:) has a nice bite to it:)
I top my meatloaf with crossy's favorite food group-- bacon!
yummy :)
mmm,, bacon!
crossy ponders an entire meatloaf made of bacon...
now you've done it magmom (hi by the way).. crossy will wax poetic about the joys of bacon..
lol
how do you make your mushroom cream sauce crossy?
h'mm.. chat log disappeared for a bit.. am getting hungry as I scroll down and read..
I use heavy cream secret herbs and spices. i keep it really simple and cook it low in dbble boiler pot on stove with diced shrooms
how about bacon lasagne? use bacon instead of pasta...
lol, a girl after my own heart;)
clogged artery heart
yup, bring your heart meds
We are all a worm feast in the next century or so, so may as well enjoy your food:)
finally found that canine!
woof!
you are what you eat... I will make tasty worm food!

my canine is yowling
I have been reading that there is a seaweed that tastes exactly like bacon:)
I think I am still missing the canine.. stats please?
brb.. whittled down to 11
I'm still wrapping my head around secret herbs and spices

like the amusement park in New Jersey
or an island with really messyb fries?
i think it
huh i thought i tried that word already thanks
i think it's in new york, ruru
oh is it?
I always thought New Jersey.. what do I know
on law and order the cops go there a bit :P
oh wow.. it is
thing the amusement park in NY cos :D
ny...
do they go there on a wild hare?
lol. meanwhile, i never knew it meant rabbits!
just a hop away from their station
i always assumed that word meant corn dogs.. :P
and pika (rabbit-ish creature), hyrax (elephant family), and a sort of a grouper... means whatever you want, I guess ;)
we call them 'corny dogs' here in TX, so it's close cos!
I thought you called them horn-dogs in texas :D
elly just discovered kitty this will be interesting
there are those too ruru ;)
I would have taken the letters off.
up here coney fries are chili-topped... maybe with shredded cheese
will fur fly cos?
ooh kate sounds yummy
lol naw. kitty is used to dogs.. and elly lived with dogs before .. and hush kate im hungry
do you also have poutine? I've heard of it but never had it.
isnt that fries with gravy ?
my favourite is to top them like nachos... chili, cheese, green onion, and sour cream (bacon bits, chopped tomato optional)
and cheese curds, i believe
and cheese curds
ugh
yummmmm
sounds awful to me
poutine is fries with cheese curd and gravy, which semi-melts the cheese. cheap imitation uses large curd cottage cheese.
(the chili fries, not the poutine lol)
<-- loves cheese curds
lol.....gotcha.
poutine sounds like polite sex in french
.... well.. it does!!...
good ones are quite mild and a bit nutty - kind a cross between mozzarella and havarti with a hint of monterey jack
lol ruru, i'll try either version
you have quite an ear for innuendo ruru... there's your next "opening" (or two)
I am just not seeing the he4/5
I don't clue fours cos.. sorry
never mind.
found it after i said that
see... that's why
Innuendo isn't even in my dictionary TK :D

Evening...clue for ho7 pls. Thx.
Ru's clue earlier was the best...ho7...hootenanny
TY
Good evening, everybody:)
hey crossy :-)
Howdy, Une:)
FW! back at the flip :-)
See you later, alligator:)
Just wait, Kate. soon you will be like me, ready for the sack at 9 pm and up with the birdies at 4 am:/
The only way I can stay up late these days is if I am in the "zone" and doing some writing:(
Although that is 7 hours of shut-eye which is a miracle in and of itself these days:)
The early crossy gets the bacon! Greetings!
Howdy JBsAnno:)
yes, first to the frying pan gets more bacon:)
Now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! I would like to give a shout-out and props to Rona Canada, one of our hardware chains. Since July first they have permitted patron to bring their pets into the store while they shop rather than risk the dangers of a hot car.
good on them. That's fairly typical of mom-and-pop-stores here, which also have in-store cats most of the time.
rona though is a large canada wide hardware store akin to HOme depot
Yes, it is.
So this is a good cal by a large chain:)
call*
There is a an aftermarket sensor you can buy for your car now as well. it it senses a dangerous cabin temperature, it will lower all vehicle windows to a pre-entered setting.
if it*
The police use it, but I cannot recall the band name of the device.
brand
I love a good book store with a in-store cat;)
I read the chog from the morning Crossie.. you weren't exactly "waylaid" and it seemed to be a very normal conversation. I think you might be a little over-dramatic here
... on top of that Jewed is a very derogatory term.. akin to twat and cunt that spark quite a bit of resentment here amongst players that somehow enable "allows" as a word.
just sayin'...
I have co6, en6, et6, sa6, and se6. Could I get the stats for the other 3 6's, please?
ok. My whole point was that there are other uses for this word that in the derogatory sense. I will let it rest though.
Time to move on I think.
if it is time to move on.. why are you still railing about it?
I am not. You just brough it up now.
and I responded
sure there might be obscure meanings for the word.. but that's not what the conversation was about
you have carefully posted it in your profile to bring it up again along with a quote from another player
fe 6/30, hy 6/27, and th 6/24 Marc Freeman and hi there
I think you're whining... they didn't "waylay" you at all
The discussion was the word as a derogatory word, which it is, but it has two other meaning additionally. That was i my profile for those to read if they will. i have not mentioned it here in some time
ok. I will remove it so it does not go on and on if you like.
thanks
that's up to you.. I'm just commenting on it.. you can leave it up if you like..
thanks Minver I appreciate it
I am just tired of it all. i stand by my reasoning.
there, it is gone.
I have an4/4 and ay4/6 what are the stats for the 'a' I am missing, please?
Will help you look, Marc:)
as4
thanks got it
hi, all. we have a starting point for our trip to Hawaii. We're going to begin on Oahu.

Hi Enomis, yw :)
you had tornado warning your way today, didn't you?
yes we did but it passed - no rain though so the humidity stays!
I am looking for the f top corner right
If you like someone, you're f--- of them
fo4 eno
hello everyone :)
oh my God - how could I miss that? thanks
hey mrp, hey all
Hi stid! (hugs)
..hm.. lessee 4 letter f word?..
hi ruuster!
at 40 and holding steady in the grid -- the temps here today were hot and really dry. Windy, too.
hello friends. ruru, you could see LOTS of 4 letter words
hello mr. p
sometimes my vocabulary doesn't get past 4 letter words :D
I spent 2 hours outside today stid and I have melted
hey bugs -- so progress report for you...Cleared out the garage to make some space for Grant to have his own space (finally) now have stacks of boxes in the driveway. Will slowly sort through these this week and next and be ready for August when it arrives. I hope.
Hi babblers!
I am laughing becasue just moving boxes from one room to another doesn
doesn't solve the problem, but I do it all the time!
Hi origami
I am glad we got it mostly cleared before Grant got home today. Also pulled most of the boxes out of my office. So many things we kept that just are not necessary. Going to purge "big time" -- most of the items aren't even good enough to give away. LOL Having them outside helps, anything that doesn't come in won't be worth worrying about in a few weeks!
now ruru... LOL
I think you have stumbled onto a great plan for purging, stid. If you put it outside, eventually the rainfall will become your deadline and it is not moveable. I should try that
I packed all kinds of boxes hoping to have a bedroom and new bathroom renovation. Now that is off the table, I have tounpack them all
Oh my goodness!! Do my ey 4/6 deceive me?? Do I see Mr. President????? Hi Mr. President! How have you been doing?
hello Minveryork. I see you are still doing stories for us. Well done
exactly, bugs :-) welcome to the grid, min
hi min!! long time no see! am doing good thanks... nice to see you here :))
((MRP))
((( crossy ))) !
How are things with my favorite Aussie lass?
starting to feel like a reunion...
bloody marvellous!
could I have clues for the two sy words?
eno, sounds like 'sign'
old layng sy4
I don't have the other yet
thanks
the 5 ends in th
my clues are a bit too basic at times, sorry
ty for sy 5/15, MRP
thanks for the 5, mrp
don't forget the n in the middle mr p :D
ha ruu! I can have a field day on chat with my callous cluing
ha. 20 now!
DO 5,12?
it is 11.20am and just discovered a body in the next room... someone didn't go to school!
add another e to the do4/5
person who gives, enomis?
oh oh mrp!
ty didn't know that word
perhaps a person who receives?
my first 7... now NBS!
oh better definition, thanks mrp
yay stid!
a person who gets a gift I think
I thot it was Little Phillie Everley's brother
I thought it goes with Marie .. :D
time to take a break and help Tom bottle the latest batch of beer-stuff. Not sure exactly what, a stout maybe? Something a lot darker and thicker than his usual. If I don't see you again before you leave, have a wonderful week, friends! *poof*
you are so much younger than I ruru, just a child
waves to stid
*sends two cases of wine to Bugs*
but.. I suspect I'm older than you bugs
I am standing at the door waiting for delivery, ruru
well.. it will be a better selection than your liquor stores :D
I wish I could send wine to Canada.. it's not possible
Ain't that the truth. Protectionism is good for producers but not so much for consumers
unless I come with it
no good wine??
oh sure.. you guys can ship off Justin Bieber and freakin' Celine.. but we can't send good wine back
well there is your answer ruru. You need to make a monthly trip up here and there will be a crowd of gasping Canadians waiting to collect you.
hello dear friends
<---likes the sound of gasping Canadian :D
not so much mr president. I live in BC and we make a lot of wines here so the government won't allow much
....choice from other countries.
hi trif! (hugs)
hugs mr p!
HEy, they left on their own accord ruru.
Most of our wines are from our regions too, but they are really good
I suspect that there was a Canadian Plot to ship them off to the USA
Sadly, a lot of our talented people go south for the bigger bucks and more opportunity
One of My favorite wines in the world comes from Austrailia
well.. I wouldn't call either of them "talented" bugs
which wine is that ruu
If there had been a petition to send Justin somewhere else to grow up, I would have signed it. Celine just has an irritating voice.
Killakanoon The Oracle
it's freaking amazing wine.. one of my most favorite go to wines
I just made a note of that one and will look for it.
that is a nice one, i agree, ruru
shiraz ?
Hello Bugsaw! How are you. Every now and then I will still do a story if I can.Had no time during school year, but now that it is summer, I have a little bit more time to babble.
Shiraz yes .. maybe with a touch of Cab some vintages
hi DC
hi dcs ((hugs))
Clare Valley region is very nice
you've had it then too DC.. I love it.. so balanced.. so complex, so beautifully made
bbs, I need a coffee with all this wine talk.
it's good very year and then in certain years incredible
*every*
hi everyone
bugs, i don't think we can buy it here :( i've checked wine searcher and liquor connect - unless there's another way to look for it
Hello welki! How are you doing today?Welcome to the grid
such a drag the government doesn't allow wine to come into your country
so ru - you'll have to bring her some of that, too
MIN!!! Have not seen you for ages!!! How lovely!
hey min - nice to 'see' you
hi trif
Thanks for looking welki. I just finished the grid.
oh.. ok.. I have some great vintages of it.. I gave a bottle to a friend of mine who called me in the middle of the night totally drunk.. and said " holy SH** this wine is incredible.. I couldn't stop drinkin' the stuff "
maybe bugs and i should arrange a winefest in the states
or a whinefest *lol*
is that a fishing term in your profile welki.. "wait for it.. it won't be long now"
I looked for another wine that ruru recommended and the liquor store it hardly ever comes in to the stores for the general public. The restaurants take most good wines
yes, ru - sort of like, 'free rides to the surface'
Welki, I would come to both
oh..
I've heard enough whining today to be totally honest
I have 9 to go, and I have gone blind. so tricky to finish
almost fell out of the boat a few years ago, laughing so hard - my step-father, a proper Brit, had hooked a fish and was coaxing it to set the hook, saying, 'take it deep, take it deep'
my goodness welki!
sounds like something I'd say
You haven't heard me whine yet. Do you want me to put on suspenders, pull my pants up to my armpits and start complaining about everything that doesn't meet my approval?
LOL welki!
6
go right ahead, bugs, but if you can pull your pants all the way up to your armpits, you'll be whining about yet another (uncomfortable) thing
20 to find. just got my 1st 7, sh7/40. any clues for the other 3?
hi, ishult
I have always wondered why old people do that, welki
et7 plural gases
I know the answer to that Bugs
se7 - not first, extra vowel on end
ho 7 is the name of a sqare dance party, ishult
se 7 not firste
OK ruru, waiting for the reason.....
because teenagers wear their pants way too low so the old people have to balance it out
got em, thanks
that is too easy an answer, ruru. Get more creative
good morning to all by the way
<---drinking a nice dry rose..
good morning ishult
dinner time here soon
I must be off on a food search. Happy Babbling everyone
night bugs
maybe the wrong size (because shapes change, as some of us know *lol*) - and if worn lower, would roll down?
I think I am going to have to walk away from this grid with three to go. bummer
can i help, trif?
I need a j, if you don't mind, welki? I have je 4.10, je 5.30, and jut 4.10. count for what I am missing, please?

Grant recommends half blood prince. I agree with him.

i think grant is right. ive seen Phoenix too many times... but Phoenix does have Umbridge who I adore
LOL cos!
i have never read harry potter nor seen the movies
well apparently new work is coming out from the author herself..a movie and a play on broadway
I enjoyed most of the books, not sure if I want to read more though -- felt the postscript on the last book robbed readers of a great deal of intellectual interest.
