Hi and hugs, Sprite

3:25 am

I so want anomaly to be spelt anomoly

3:25 am

hi Liz :) *hugs* to you both. How are you doing?

3:25 am

would have been a good one, yes

3:25 am

Fine thanks - and you?

3:26 am

And I keep trying lobster

3:27 am

I am fine, thanks :) Did I tell you that all my blood tests came out perfectly? Even the liver values are back to normal.

3:27 am

That's really good news :)

3:27 am

lobstre :D

3:28 am

and the internist wants me to immediately lower the dosage of my diabetes and blood pressure medication as soon as the operation is done.

3:28 am

Dyslexic lobstre?

3:29 am

Wow! Less medication must be good.

3:29 am

lol yes

3:30 am

less medication is always good. Makes me very happy. They will keep me under close observation for some weeks, to see if it works out as he thinks. I am confident it will.

3:31 am

And a positive mindset helps too.

3:31 am

in that case, we can throw out the whole bunch of pills :D

3:31 am

Go for it!

3:33 am

I will. On the road to better health!

3:34 am

Gonna be a totally new person - not in personality though.

3:35 am

no, not in personality. Just in health and energy levels. And probably more active too, when it becomes easier to be outdoors and moving.

3:36 am

Such a good target for you

3:36 am

will keep you up to speed :) How are things at your side? Pool fence done?

3:37 am

Mostly - the professional stuff anyway. Just bits and pieces to finish off.

3:37 am

Will send you pics when it's all done.

3:37 am

ah wonderful. That has been a long haul.

3:38 am

Tell he about it!

3:38 am

*hugs Liz*

3:38 am

Next the inspector has to come and approve it - another stupid expense!

3:39 am

Thanks - hugs always appreciated.

3:40 am

ugh yeah. I really dislike that whole system. All that nonsense while you are building stuff on your own property.

3:41 am

Ours should comply because we consulted the inspector first but it's quite usual not to be accepted first time :(

3:42 am

same thing here. So very frustrating.

3:42 am

Definitely

3:52 am

fireflies

3:52 am

Congrats Sprite

3:53 am

No thanks. I'll get there. Just listed.

3:54 am

Have a lovely day. Hugs

3:54 am

ok :) *hugs* for the two of you. And sleep well!

hi everyone :)

I watched the shark attack on Mick Manning and was completely taken back to the movie Jaws! It was so scary!

He is one very very lucky man

4:26 am

Yes he was very lucky.And for it to be filmed at the time of the event.

yes, I watched it live and my heart nearly fell out of my mouth when he disappeared behind the wave

4:29 am

I have only seen the video of it on the bbc website so i knew he was going to be okay.But yes if it was live and i saw it then.I would of been very worried for him like you say going behind the wave for a rather long time without being seen.I understand his parents have just watched it also!

apparently was a three metre great white... not an adult shark either

yes, I just watched an interview with his mum...

4:30 am

when he got onto the rescue board and bowed his head...I could feel him say bloody hell that was close.

yes, he is most thankful to be alive and not hurt in any way

4:32 am

I understand some parts of Autralia got rather a lot of snow on the ground yesterday or the day before? anywhere near you?

the guy that was surfing with him was in tears describing trying to get to him, and losing sight of him

4:33 am

Wonder how many people got into the water after that..lol

oh no zoom, I am in sub tropic area on the coast... but the snow is only up the road... we have a mountain range close by that got the snow

4:33 am

That us why i only surf the internet

4:34 am

hehe me too, ruru!

hey ruuster!

no matter if you are on the ground or at sea, you will get killed by something here

4:36 am

Hi.. i saw the video too. Horrifying

4:37 am

Yes I suppose that could be true for anywhere.

they didn't go ahead with the final. divided the points and the prize money

4:38 am

Wonder if he gets a bonus point for dodging the shark!

4:39 am

I am glad he didn't get too chummy with the shark 😂

4:39 am

teehee!

oooh an emoji! how you do that ruu

4:40 am

😂

4:40 am

I just copied and pasted it into the chat 😂

4:40 am

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

hmmm ...

4:41 am

I used to do loads like that a while back.But since I got this windows 8.1 for some reason it is hit and miss with them.

4:42 am

Back to bed 4 me,

4:43 am

Sweet sleeps, ruru. good to see you!

4:45 am

Do you undrstand the copy & paste, Mrp?

no zoom, where to copy from?

4:49 am

Where , ruru has done all those funny faces if you move your white arrow over the first one..then left click keeping it down move across to the right( there should now be a blue background across them) let go of the button now without moving the mouse right click and a dialouge should come up and click on copy. then just goto the chat log and then right click again and paste it ito there.Done.

4:50 am

Sounds complicated when describing how to do it.But it is rather easy.And gets easier as you get used to doing it.

??

doesn't work for me

4:51 am

Or goto google and enter how to copy & paste.It will describe it better there than I just did 😂

sure thanks :)

when I copy paste, it just comes up with ??

4:53 am

Are you using windows or a mac?

windows, still can't do it

oooh, got the so8

4:56 am

Nice!

4:58 am

http://tinyurl.com/n9k4gty

4:58 am

That might be able to help you, Mrp.

5:00 am

I am struggling with the S and the B underneath it.

thanks zoom

and still can't enter 'satan'

5:04 am

No Enable does not like it along with ;Spam & Internet and many others..lol

enable doesn't have the word 'shit

but you can enter it in the grid

so go figure!? this isn't just an enable based game... dr. G must be able to add words

I know that lickety has had to add words that are not in enable that the game accepts

5:07 am

Oh I did not kno that.I know when babble first started of Dr_God used the Official Scrabble Dictionary. But it was limited to how many letters could be entered so then went to Enable.

5:07 am

Know*

yes, it isn't just enable :)

5:11 am

Here in the UK some of us say shite rather than shit but it is not accepted :-( if the film was rubbish we might say "That was a load of shite"

yes have heard that word used many times in UK films/TV

5:12 am

Must be classed as a slang word.Oh well one more to the growing collection of non-words..lol

5:13 am

ebons

5:13 am

Damn.Very sorry everyone.

thanks zoom!

i do need help with that S you were talking about

Satan must be a proper noun

5:16 am

Did you know that when babble first started Dr_God was going to limit the amount of times you could guess a word on each tile to around 100 I think.

that would have sucked for me! and many others I think! LOL

5:17 am

Not sure what would of happened if you went over that..Maybe game over.

I love my monkeys and on a grid that is 100 words, I easily try and enter 500

5:17 am

LOL me too MrP!!

... ok, 1000

LOL !

I am a phantom finder... like toylobster is my phantom today

5:18 am

I think a lot of us can see lobster in the grid..lol

and sly stallone

5:20 am

I must say though, MrP I am very very greatful for the Lickety clues!

oh that is good! we were happy to develop it

5:21 am

Because of the li4 I can pretty much finish every grid apart from when I fall asleep..lol

5:22 am

And mmorewords or a2z

oh yes! have been known to fall asleep on the keyboard! I looked like a complete moron every time! LOL

5:23 am

Teehee!

5:25 am

Ah I too now have the SO8/40!

5:25 am

SO 7 & 8 rather.

nice :)

5:28 am

Looking for other words that I may of missed that could have that ending :-)

bbs, going to sort dinner

5:32 am

Take care, MrP, I might not be here when you get back but it was nice to chat with you :-)

you too zoom :)) chat soon agian ((hugs))

na4 and na5, not in enable

another phantom for me... nanobots

5:55 am

http://tinyurl.com/o23u4mc

5:56 am

Oh nice one, Mrp!

5:56 am

If there was a D could of had nanoids too!

nanoist... one who is a specialist is small things

5:58 am

Oh thank you very much..you made me enter it too...LOL

lol!! cool!

5:59 am

Should tell Sprite about that one so it could be put into the babble dictionary!

oh yes

only 30 words left!

6:00 am

42 here.

6:01 am

why can we not rebolt the door?

hmmm, it is completely reasonable

like yesterday... siftable should have been a word

brb... serving dinner

6:02 am

I suppose it would come under lock to relock.

6:02 am

Oh i like that one!

6:02 am

Enjoy your meal!

6:02 am

don't anyonyone mention the thing we use to find words to the left of the grid

6:04 am

Hello, Bichon :-)

6:04 am

hi zooz

6:05 am

We've got uber hot and humid weather here

6:05 am

Hot yes! humid no :-(

6:06 am

We have normal UK summer weather here overcast and mild..lol

6:06 am

hope you have lots of fans going, bichon!

6:06 am

hope you have lots of fans going, bichon!

6:06 am

oops sorry for the hiccup.

6:06 am

We have an air conditioner in our bedroom and in the kitchen

6:07 am

Nice!

6:08 am

You cannot get by without some sort of AC in the eastern part of the country

6:08 am

Have you just started, Bichon?

6:09 am

Yes, have 44 words so far

6:09 am

Okay no worries :-)

6:13 am

Need to grab a bite to eat.Good luck with the grid, bichon.

6:21 am

good morning bichon :)

6:22 am

Hi Kate, hot up your way too?

6:22 am

yes, but the humidity is supposed to break :)

6:23 am

We have to wait til Thurs for that.

6:23 am

:(

hello kids :) just had a yum dinner. 30 words left here

6:26 am

Hi Kate! Hi bichon! hi mrp!

6:26 am

hi mrp :)

6:27 am

hi robbie!

6:27 am

:)

6:27 am

mrp, there is an article in a local paper about Aussies using kangaroo meat in kielbasa

6:28 am

hi, all

6:28 am

I just woke up! haven't had breakfast yet.

6:28 am

Hi angel :)

6:28 am

hi angelsong!

6:29 am

I haven't eaten kangaroo meat!

6:30 am

I am beginning to plan a trip, and it's a huge challenge to my organizational skills

6:30 am

where do you want to go Angel

6:31 am

where is your trip, Angel?

6:32 am

Good morning

6:32 am

we are going to Hawaii in a few years

6:32 am

morning sukee

6:32 am

morning sukee :)

6:32 am

Hi Kate.

6:33 am

Hawaii is a fun place to visit! Should a great trip!

6:33 am

I've been there, been to most of the islands. Kauaii is my favorite

6:34 am

I have never been, and my husband has not been back since he and his parents lived there when he was a child

6:35 am

Awesome bichon! I've only been to Oahu.

6:35 am

Each island has something great on it for everyone

6:35 am

there are a few extra challenges. my wheelchair is a big one.

6:36 am

I think we will start with Oahu, since the major airport is there, plus it's close to Pearl Harbor

6:38 am

Yes, we flew into Honolulu. Visiting Pearl Harbor was great.

6:38 am

since my husband is a veteran, Pearl Harbor is a must.

6:39 am

Visiting Pearl Harbor was one of the most sobering experiences of my life. When the boat went out, the Japanese tourist were mixing with everyone and on the return ride, they were silent

6:39 am

nbt

6:41 am

bichon, perhaps you would e mail me? I could use some advice from someone who's done this trip. angelsong214 # gmail dot com

6:42 am

Visiting the USS Arizona was very sad and sobering.

6:43 am

way to go sukee

6:44 am

Email sent Angel

6:46 am

thank you, bichon

6:48 am

We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We enjoyed it.

6:49 am

My son didn't like the way it sprinkled a lot. "liquid sunshine" :) But, it was so sunny and I hot, I liked it!

6:52 am

It was interesting. The sand was brown on the beach, because it was imported from Australia!

6:54 am

Bich and Rob must not have found so5 yet : D

hi robbie, bichon, et al :)

just ploughing through the leftovers... the b is getting to me!

6:56 am

7:03 am

I've lost count of how many times I've entered lobster!

and monster

7:03 am

sidles away, doesn't it, Liz?

and nanobots

7:04 am

I tried lobstre thinking it was the British way of spelling it, but no dice

7:04 am

Monster too - and yes, jwr,it does.

7:04 am

I tried that too, Molly and mobstre

7:04 am

that's funny, Mol

7:04 am

I meant monstre

7:04 am

Oooh! Wish I'd tried nanobots - memories of the US version of Life on Mars.

7:05 am

LOL!

7:05 am

Enable isn't up to nanobots, I think

7:05 am

Didin't Life on Mars have a sequel series?

i am struggling with the sa's....

7:06 am

The first 4 are all pretty similar.

7:06 am

I never did see the finale of Life on Mars!

7:06 am

Yes, Ashes to Ashes.

7:07 am

The UK version of Life on Mars was totally different from the US version.

have monkeyed up and down to no avail

7:08 am

I didn't know they were different. Thought I saw the UK version

7:08 am

I preferred the UK version - though the ending was really confusing but that was cleared up in Ashes to Ashes.

7:09 am

The sa words all start with s + picnic pest and then extend

7:09 am

Liz, was there a US version of Ashes to Ashes too?

7:09 am

I never saw that - don't think it came to Aus.

7:10 am

So, i don't know

thanks liz... another one not in enable

7:10 am

mrp, old Indian custom of wife throwing herself on husband;s pyre

7:11 am

Looking in google, I don't think there was a US version - with the US ending of Life on Mars it wouldn't have made sense.

may I please have the stats for the 8s?

thanks jwr :)

7:11 am

ty mrp

we have those beetles here...

7:43 am

what do we call them?

they come out in summer and often get called Christmas beetles

It has to be pretty hot for them to come out too

7:44 am

they overwinter as larvae and there isn't anything to kill them except manually

7:45 am

Christmas beetles I know...maybe it is just that we don't get mountains of them...down here I only ever see a few. Very pretty

they are a bastard for rose growers

the further north, the more there are in aussie

7:50 am

we have been 'blessed' by plague soldier beetles the last few summers - millions of them (not exaggerating)

oh they are ugly looking things! LOL

it is late! time for bed. nite all :)

8:05 am

8:05 am

I see Eugene O'Neill's daughter in the grid

8:05 am

oh, you are right annie!

8:05 am

Does anyone have the stats for the bottom O?

I feel badly for you but keep on truckin

8:06 am

phae, I just started, not there yet

8:07 am

on 4/6

8:07 am

i feel badly for the whole situation. i never fully realized how much kids miss out on by not going to school. I brought over some tadpoles from my pond the other day, and jokingly called them his "classmates for the day." Not only had he never seen one, he had no idea - NONE - what they were. What sort of life is that for a child?

8:07 am

do you mean the middle column O?

8:07 am

Hi Kate

8:07 am

os5/10 and ol4/4

8:07 am

8:08 am

Trif, What terrible parents by not helping this child?

8:08 am

hi all.

8:09 am

he needs talk therapy and meds. DESPERATELY. the principal, to her credit, asked DCF to investigate -they released the case, saying all was well.

8:09 am

hi mkg

8:09 am

Then the boy might be lost. Very sad.

8:09 am

im ready to bang the parents heads together

8:09 am

8:13 am

----> that very special feeling when you realize one of the columns or rows directly spells a word, and you haven't seen it, even though you have been babbling for nigh on an hour....

8:14 am

:D

8:14 am

*pours a cup of coffee for Trif...sugar, cream on the sideboard* everybody help yourselves

8:14 am

we should name that feeling and put it into sprite's dictionary...

8:14 am

speaking of laughing, if you are so inclined, RUN do not walk to see "trainwreck" - WHAT a riot!

8:14 am

good morning Annie :)

8:15 am

I didnt plan to see Trainwreck but now I will.

8:16 am

I also want to see Mr. Holmes

8:18 am

mind you, I went with three college age young women, which helped enormously

8:19 am

I want to see mr holmes too!

8:20 am

why are we speaking with code names? What's going on?

8:20 am

i don't know if it will come around here though - we tend to only get first run movies around here, nothing even remotely "arty"

8:21 am

Mr. Holmes is a movie

8:21 am

i know

8:21 am

morning, bichon

8:22 am

8:24 am

8:24 am

Then you will have Thursday off to do what you would like to do

8:25 am

I am utterly stuck at 66

8:26 am

hi Harry

8:26 am

and good morning.

8:26 am

Kate is timing you, be off

8:26 am

SLEEP annie! Tbh, it's great! We are seeing Neil Young on weds night, so this is PERFECT.

8:26 am

I'm off to my pt appointment in a couple minutes

8:26 am

and now I must go.....sad

8:26 am

tbh???

8:26 am

Neil Young! I love Neil Young!

8:26 am

ah to be honest?

8:27 am

bichon, I broke the code...LOL

8:27 am

na 6/18?

8:28 am

I saw him in the early eighties, but it was his country phase - it wasn't very good. Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter opened.

8:31 am

from the reviews I have read, we aren't in for much of a treat this time either - he is ripped at Monsanto, only is playing songs from his new album< "Monsanto rising", and lecturing about the dangers of big food. EVERY review has included the word "cranky." we got the tix on groupon for $20, so whatever

8:32 am

bad night at a concert is better than a good night at home?

8:33 am

if he throws in cinnamon girl or harvest moon, its all good

8:34 am

63. bbl!

8:38 am

Old hippies get cranky sometimes

8:39 am

na 6...na + i am resis**** to change...

8:40 am

thanks, pen

8:42 am

8:43 am

You're a genius to have found that Penq.

8:43 am

hi hego :)

8:43 am

Hi Annie

8:44 am

ty, hego....just kept trying to find it... ;o)

8:45 am

Well, I just saw something I never expected in this location. A big sinkhole took out Interstate 10 in both directions from Phoenix to Palm Springs! They had a lot of rain in that (of course, I gone NONE of it here) and somehow that happened. Going to be a real mess for traffic, especially truckers.

8:45 am

Good job!

8:45 am

And hi, everyone!

8:45 am

hi...

8:45 am

What a mess!

8:45 am

I thought there was a washed out bridge.

8:46 am

Nope...sinkhole...even a car upended in it.

8:47 am

Well the news here is confused, then. I definitely saw film of a collapsed bridge.

8:47 am

Though there might be a bridge out in another location. They got a lot of rain in the west...but not here...alas.

8:47 am

bo6/24....clue, please

8:48 am

japanese tree in a pot...

8:48 am

*feel like i am speaking in code*....

8:48 am

Oh great! japanese words now.

We still have I-8 but it goes up into mountains and that's not good for gas mileage on those trucks. But at least it can get them there and take about 2-3 hours longer.

hi nef

2:34 pm

*dives in* Hi, kids!

2:35 pm

Hi therea & Judi, how are you doing today?

2:36 pm

Hot, Nef. Very hot.

2:37 pm

Well, if you have what we had last week; I understand (stay inside!)

2:37 pm

We are actually having a second day (in a row!) of lovely summer weather! :-)

2:37 pm

93 here in the Mid-Atlantic today.

2:38 pm

yuk

2:38 pm

Hi there :-) I have SO8 what do the other two start with please?

HI all!

2:39 pm

zooz, I have an na8

99* here in OK today. It's not okay :)

2:39 pm

Hi magazinemom

2:39 pm

Thank you, Nef :-)

2:40 pm

78 (F) here with just 55% humidity (I'm loving it!)

That sounds lovely Nef!

2:41 pm

Sorry to be a pain, Nef, NA 8 / what?

2:41 pm

na8/50 (youasked what it started with!) ;-)

2:42 pm

I know and I thank you.

2:42 pm

It is lovely; but we've had humidity levels of 70 - 80 % recently, and I wouldn't wish those on anyone!

2:43 pm

an 8/40

2:43 pm

I was also hoping the word might jump out at me..lol

2:43 pm

Thank you, Molly :-)

2:46 pm

Just giving you a little grief, zoo. I didn't want to do more than what you asked for.

2:46 pm

Teehee no worries, Nef :-)

2:47 pm

Good! :-D. How are you doing lately, zoo?

2:48 pm

(zooz) Sorry

2:48 pm

I am well thanks.And how about yourself?

Informal poll- what color are your walls painted? We're looking at houses and I've seen lots of bright white, which means I'll have to paint them a neutral color I like better and then yesterday we saw some that were painted mustard yellow. Yikes!

2:48 pm

Zoo zooz pillock what ever :-)

2:48 pm

Evening everyone 😄

2:48 pm

doing well also, zooz.

2:49 pm

Hello, Katie :-)

2:49 pm

Our walls are neutral, mag mom. Goes with everything!

Hi Katie!

2:49 pm

magazinemom, I've been house hunting with my daughter lately & from what I've seen, there is no accounting for taste!

2:49 pm

I am boring, Magazinemom, Mine are magnolia only as that color seems to go with anything.

2:50 pm

My SIL painted every room in her house a different (bright) color. She likes it, but it gives me a headache after about 5 minutes.

See, neutral, magnolia-- that's what I'm looking for so I won't have to paint and that's what I will be repainting my house in to get it ready to sell.

2:51 pm

Judi, I have seen houses like that. It looks like Walt Disney threw up.

2:51 pm

I like pastels: one room is a very soft butter yellow, another is pastel teal, another is baby blue, etc.

2:52 pm

I believe most buyers prefer to see neutral colored walls. Just about any shade of pink is a major violation in my humble opinion.

Obviously, it's not a make or break the sale kind of thing, but for the price I'm going to be paying I hate to have to go in and start painting once we buy.

2:52 pm

Got the AN8 thanks once again :-)

That sounds pretty Nef. I could handle that :)

2:52 pm

My neighbors just sold their house & had painted everything a very soft grey with a accent color on some smaller walls. It looks very rich - & soothing too

Plus, I have to minimize any kind of confusion going on in the house. Mom had mid-stage Alzheimer's and we are all moving in together.

2:54 pm

Phantom: Lobster.

2:54 pm

thanks. (of course, my kitchen is plain old white (the better to see spatters & spills I've learned!)

i keep seeing that too Judi

mo7/32, please?

Me too Judi.

2:55 pm

light from the rock in the sky at night.

2:55 pm

magazinemom, one thing I learned years ago was that pink (especially what I call Pepto-Bismal pink) helps calm agitated people

2:56 pm

(My daughter's room was painted that color when she was younger; it really worked! She was a very difficult child)

Nef, the people who lived in my first house must have read that article. Lol. Of course they also used shelf paper as wall paper.

2:56 pm

MO 7/32 light from the rock in the sky at night (the one that gives us tides)

2:57 pm

Thanks, zooz

great clue zooz! ty

2:57 pm

Shelf papaer on a wall? Oh MY! That must have been tough to remove!

It was not pretty. The last 2 houses I've lived in have been fixer-uppers. I swore when I bought another one that it would be ready to live in.

2:58 pm

Shelf paper on the wall? I think that's a crime in most states and countries.

2:59 pm

LOL!

2:59 pm

lol

Judi-

Judi- they had painted the cabinets aqua and stenciled purple geese on them

3:00 pm

*runs screaming from the room* My eyes! My eyes!

thanks zoozzoom got it

3:00 pm

Welcome, Marc.

And all the walls (even within the same room) were different colors like they had bought paint remnants.

3:01 pm

I guess those things can happen when you let a four year old decorate your house. Egad.

My current house just looked like 1968 and I had to take the gold mirror tiles off the wall in the entryway.

an7, please?

3:04 pm

<I think I just lost my appetite thinking what that must have looked like, magazine mom. I hope it was worth the discountin price!

3:04 pm

Small picnic pest + the roaring big cat.

3:04 pm

I think all the interior designers from the 60's & 70's were on acid.

3:04 pm

Plural for the AN8

3:04 pm

Aqua cabinets with purple geese is probably the most heinous kitchen decoration theme I have ever heard of

thanks

The first one my dad helped me and my ex buy at a sheriff's auction, so yeah, cheap.

3:06 pm

May I have the DEF for the NA8 please?

3:06 pm

Fixer Upper = Money Pit.

Yep

3:07 pm

na8...swimming, floating...adverb form

3:07 pm

Our first house was... a disaster.

3:08 pm

during high school I let my daughter paint her room. (It's a basement bedroom with panelled wood walls) She painted it with brink yellow and bright pink stripes. *I* couldn't stand it; & when she was moving out for college I made her paint it a nice soft color. She chose a muted pastel turquoise and used a very soft grey-white for the trim.

3:08 pm

Thanks..looking..

3:09 pm

When I think of all the money we put into that hovel, I should be retired by now.

My 17 year old wants purple walls. I told her she would be the one painting over them when the house had to be sold

3:10 pm

Purple... just a more intense shade of pink. Violation!

bo7, please?

3:10 pm

make her paint them the color she wants; but she HAS to re-paint it when she goes to college. My daughter learned that maybe her color choices needed to be toned down a bit

That's how that first house I had was, Judi. My dad really thought he was helping us out, but it would have been cheaper and easier if he had just cosigned a loan for us.

3:11 pm

Adverb of someone who orders you about?

thanks again

3:11 pm

BO 7/44 Adverb of someone who orders you about?

3:11 pm

Oh cool you got it!

3:11 pm

We were so young and stupid, Mag mom. The lot was beautiful, but the house was determined to kill us.

good point nef. I told her no violent purple. She has a comforter set in mind, so I told her to try to coordinate with that in something not too bright.

3:14 pm

The only one I can come up with is natatory .

3:15 pm

Oh, yeah, one more thing: make her do all of the cleanup too. (ANY & all drips & spatters, + cleaning out the brushes, etc). I really think my daughter learned that cleaning up was work too. (She had to do 3 coats of paint to cover up the bright yellow & pinks.

3:16 pm

Zooz, think G

3:16 pm

Ha ha! Good for you, Nef. Painting a room is a slog. Especially the corners.

3:16 pm

(G) na* + picnic pest + adverb ending

3:17 pm

Aww cos, Elly looks very comfy today.

Oh she will be doing the work, because I've done my time painting. LOL

3:19 pm

3:20 pm

Bless her :-)

Oh cos- she's adorable!

3:20 pm

3:21 pm

LOL!

3:21 pm

3:22 pm

shes gotten attached to me fast. she cries if i go to the bathroom..

3:23 pm

So take her with you!

3:24 pm

We had 3 different chihuahuas when I was a kid. For some reason, my uncle always seemed to pick the runt of the litter and they were all very dumb dogs. Now my husband's aunt had 2 of them and hers were very smart.

3:25 pm

ive seen some stupid ones myself.. elly seems to be normal...listens to commands well and is potty trained

3:25 pm

That's a great sign! :-)

3:27 pm

red dog (my Rhodesian Ridgeback) is now trying to be a lap dog. keeps trying to sit on my lap...

3:27 pm

so im trying to give her equal amounts of attention

3:27 pm

Jealous?

3:28 pm

yep but she was lonely too.. shes been playing more the last few days too

3:29 pm

how big is she?

3:29 pm

lol oh boy

3:29 pm

shes as big as a baby pony

3:29 pm

but she thinks shes a lap dog.

3:30 pm

Yikes! She'd squash the new dog if she sat on her by accident

3:31 pm

i know which is why im being overly cautious.. ryan says im being paranoid but id rather be safe lol

3:31 pm

red dog got along well with paco and was always careful around him so shes been behaving the same now

3:32 pm

that's good. how is Elly doing with having such a big dog around

3:32 pm

Off to snackville. Later, kids! *Poof*

3:33 pm

she keeps wanting to play with her so red dog gets excited and plays.. earthquake!

3:33 pm

last night elly was sleeping next to me on the pillow in bed.. red dog saw her and did the same thing! knocked us both off the bed

3:44 pm

IDK, dogs can take over a whole bed even if they are small. We found that out with our last dog; I don't think I'd ever let another one sleep in my bed again

3:44 pm

(I had a phone call, so delayed response.

3:45 pm

yeah we put them down on the floor after.. but in the AM red dog was in the living room while elly was on the ottoman covered in a blanket that we left there

3:47 pm

DO you know anything about Elly before you got her?

3:48 pm

Nef, Have you read Louis de Berniere's novellette 'Red Dog?

3:48 pm

No, I haven't, jaxx.

6:44 pm

???

6:45 pm

lol.. the tv show.. love watching it an imagining how difficult some of the physical challenges are

6:45 pm

oh! *grin* still not watching much TV although it's tempting some days.

6:46 pm

just want to get down to 70, then will take a break again and go sort a few more items (I hope) into the garbage...

6:46 pm

one of the few shows I watch.. inspiring for this body with waning strength and flexibility..

6:47 pm

are you having a garage sale, stid?

6:53 pm

no, still going through boxes from the fire (and from the storage locker that we emptied when we moved home last year)

6:54 pm

The items that might be garage-sale worthy are few and far between. I am keeping a few sentimental items, photographing some items (setting some things aside for scanning this winter), and selecting things from the storage locker that are still school-worthy. Things from the house fire are NOT school-worthy, but a few items are recoverable enough to keep as heirlooms.

6:56 pm

and that's 70... how is your summer going, aloyisius?

6:58 pm

oh.. am sorry you have to go through all this.. we live in a 100yr+ old farmhouse in Ohio.. and so much stuff has accumulated from the attic to the basement and garage that it is mind boggling and overwhelming.. really need to do what you are doing now but not sure where to start.. will take some tips from you.. ty.. summer is going well, full of travel this year, so .. once again, the house is neglected.. oh well.. time to scoot for Ninja Warrior.. wishing you good progress, stid!

it is 90out and i am eating chili....strange craving.

7:52 pm

the word "craving" implies a strange fascination with something... ;o)

well then, when applied to food, i guess the word in used incorrectly. yet such a common usage.

7:57 pm

oh it's fine.....just thinking aloud...

need to dive in and finish, busy day, just grabbing dinner.

8:43 pm

Hmm, and yet synonyms for craving are longing, yearning, desire, all in keeping with the whole food idea (and other things)

8:47 pm
