4:11 am

*hugs rose* Hello darling. How are you?

4:11 am

xoxox zooz. was your shopping trip with your sister successful?

4:11 am

sounds good. Did your mother feel like the birthday girl?

4:11 am

doing okay sprite. how are you?

4:12 am

Hello, rose! Yes got my mother a wooly jumper and a pair of trousers.

4:12 am

Sister new what type mother likes lol

4:12 am

nice zooz. that should keep her nice and warm.

4:13 am

feeling a little bit better, darling. Slept well.

4:13 am

*giggles* yup zooz sisters are like that.

4:13 am

good teamwork there, zooz

4:13 am

She did, sprite. she had two birthday cakes.

4:14 am

good for her!

4:14 am

good for you sprite.

4:14 am

Oh and a bit embarrassed as I said she was going to be 78..in fact she is now 76.

4:15 am

lollll zooz, don't worry about that. At her age, every year extra is one worn in pride

4:15 am

typical son, always adding a few years to poor old mum.

4:16 am

True. she does not know I thought that is was what i said here the other day..lol

4:16 am

I do that with everyone to be fair, Rose lol

4:16 am

lol

4:17 am

I saw on the news, Rose , That there was a massive thunderstorm in Australia. Not sure where abouts but it looked like it was in the south somewhere. Did it effect you?

4:18 am

sort of zooz. we were out driving in it. it was like driving through a waterfall. and there was a tornado for heavens sake.

4:19 am

Glad no damage was done then. Not nice. We have lots of tornandos here every year. Albeit they are very small and most of the time you do not realise one has passed by lol

4:19 am

it was actually on the other side of melbourne...the tornado i mean. but the skies opened all over my city.

4:20 am

Queen Rose of Melbourne City!!

4:21 am

She of the Tornados

4:21 am

*giggle* the ladies at their special day at the race track got soaked.

4:23 am

I am wanting to do my washing and hang it dry outside but the weather here is that everytime I want to do that it rains :-(

4:23 am

one lady stripped down to her bra and knickers. it was hilarious. all that flesh going south.

4:23 am

I have about three days of clothes left!

4:24 am

you could do what that lady did. would anyone notice??

4:24 am

Really? is that normal?

4:25 am

LOL not with my body, Rose!

4:25 am

she probably had been drinking since mid-morning.

4:26 am

although if I turned sideways they probably would not be able to see me lol

4:27 am

Oh I thought you meant she was an elderly lady.

4:27 am

well younger than me...

4:27 am

But you are still wet behind the ears, Rose :-)

4:28 am

*grabs towel* just what do you mean by that young fella??

4:28 am

lol

4:29 am

where did Sprite go..Squirrel?

4:29 am

lol

4:30 am

yeah, i lent her mine.

4:30 am

nope, just am here

4:32 am

My dryer broke recently and am determind not to buy another on as the electricity bill so far is way too high. Wondering how the mothers of yesterday coped with wet days when the washing needs to be dried.

4:32 am

*waves at room*

4:32 am

*Waves back*

4:32 am

I don't have a dryer, zooz. And I have two teenager kids, a husband with working clothes, hobby clothes and normal clothes...

4:33 am

we used to hang the wash on a clothes-horse and pulleyed it up to the ceiling where the heat was trapped.

4:33 am

I hang the laundry indoors, one load a day.

4:33 am

So how do you dry the clothes on a wet week?

4:33 am

Would that not make the home damp or smell of musty mould?

4:33 am

I have a rack over the door of the bathroom. Only place where there is room

4:34 am

zooz: always ventilate.

4:34 am

no it doesn't zooz the wash dries quite quickly with the ambient air.

4:35 am

* breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out* i am ventilating....loll

4:35 am

I don't know..throw away the dryer and the man falls to pieces.

4:35 am

that is more like hyperventilating... don't overdo it, lol

4:35 am

LOL very good Rose!

4:37 am

you need a drying rack, zooz. Easy as pie. And clothes pegs. Or what are they called. Pin up the clothes, make sure there is a bit of room in between each, so they can dry out quickly. Rinse and repeat.

4:38 am

I have had a pile of books by my bedside and have now got down to the last six books.The last six books are by an author called Marcel Proust. I opened up the first page and good grief! the writing is so tiny i could hardly see the letters! Was so used to the other book text being larger lol

4:38 am

Clothes peg is the word we use here, Sprite.

4:38 am

lol Proust is serious stuff :)

4:38 am

oh dear zooz. don't you have glasses?

4:38 am

ah good :) Score one for the dutchie.

4:39 am

Well I did not think i needed glasses, Rose. but to be honest I was really struggling to see the text. Not sure if it is going to be a comfortable read tonight.

4:40 am

Oh good, Sprite. I normally read a bit of fantasy novels but also like to mix it up a bit with something more adult lol

4:40 am

proust is never comforting, I think. But interesting.

4:41 am

Hope I like them then as there is six in this volume.

4:41 am

Each book is about 500 pages.

4:42 am

yeah he is known for his monumental essays, lol. But I think you will like him.

4:42 am

First one is called The way by the swann's

4:43 am

Thanks Sprite. Nice to know someone who knows his work.

4:44 am

Phantom : Enation.

4:44 am

Swann's way is how I know that one. Must be the same.

4:45 am

all those -tion words are nasty phantoms today

4:46 am

Yes this novel is in six books the whole series is called In search of lost time. And the first book is called The way with the swanns as I said before.

4:46 am

all part of in Search Of Lost Time. Let me know how you like it, zooz :)

4:46 am

yeah not all translation have the exact same titles, I think. All depends on the translator and publisher.

4:47 am

I will, sprite. I will tell you as I go along as I get the feeling it is going to take me a looooong time to get through these ones..lol

4:48 am

yeah you are in for a long read

4:48 am

Oh good point, Sprite as originally as you know was in french. There was about twenty odd pages describing about how it was translated!

4:48 am

not was..is

4:48 am

lol really? Interesting!

4:50 am

I am always a bit nervous when I start a new collection of books as if I do not get into the first few pages it will not bode well for the rest of the volumes lol

4:50 am

I think our rose was jealous at my aside with her squirrel and she is making up for lost time now

4:50 am

But I was told that they are a good read so I went for it and just got all the volumes!

4:50 am

give it time, zooz. Proust is known by many as the best writer ever. Not for nothing.

4:51 am

just watching you two discussing proust. not an author i can read.

4:51 am

LOL yeah probably snuck off and is having her evening meal!

4:51 am

HELLO!!!

4:51 am

*sigh* already had it. chicken garlic kievs with salad.

4:51 am

That is what i am scared of, Rose. what if i am in the same boat as you!

4:51 am

Hello, Ruby :-)

4:52 am

All fine here, Mari.

4:53 am

4:53 am

zooz, i have tried to read war and peace four times...i simply cannot get past page one.

4:53 am

He fell while they were packing up his stuff and he wound up in the emergency room whrere we spent 3 hrs. They did a bad job, stitching up his head and the home didn't send his stuff with him

4:53 am

hi ruby, what was so catastrophic? The move? And good that burt is safely there now.

4:53 am

But today it's getting sorted out.

4:54 am

war and peace is by Tolstoi, Rose, not Proust :)

4:54 am

Gosh he needed stiches in his head! Must of been a bad fall.

4:54 am

oh for pete's sake, ruby. poor burt and poor you. like you needed that.

4:54 am

I am so happy to see all of you, but have two more things to do before I can actually have some time for play"

4:54 am

oh dear, ruby :( Poor you. And Poor Burt.

4:55 am

He was terribly confused.

4:55 am

i know sprite. just proving a point i simply cannot read anything deep. shallow that's me...lolll

4:55 am

roflol rose

4:55 am

The locked section of the home has only 12 patients, not all of whom have Alzheimer's and there are no other men.

4:55 am

Always nice to see you, ((Ruby))

4:55 am

I need to send Rosde some books!

4:55 am

five more minutes of torture. *sigh*

4:55 am

german for crime scene is in the grid today, also the title of a tv series... Tatort

4:56 am

Proust was very tough and I even tried to read it in French. NOT

4:56 am

oh, please ruby. the last lot have been read twice over.

4:56 am

Tolstoy, on the other hand, was an enormous pleasure

4:57 am

The medieval town of Visby, Sweden.

4:57 am

I'll get his room organized this afternoon. One of my friends (former aide, not sort of personal assdistant LOL) picked up his things this AM and she'll drive me there this afternoomnm.

4:57 am

Well I will know tonight if I like the books or not lol

4:58 am

now* not not

4:58 am

Sounds good then, Ruby. I am sure he will settle in nicley there with all the ladies around him :-)

4:59 am

it will take time for him to settle in, ruby, but it really sounds like a good place for him.

4:59 am

The place is like a hotel. It even has a resto and bar (but not for his section)

5:01 am

irate

5:02 am

5:10 am

hey zooz, can you imagine sprite and i in the same room??

5:10 am

Oh I know I am mad, Spritey. been that way for many a year lol

5:11 am

after years of intensive study, I carefully submit that being mad is a prerequisite for playing babble

5:11 am

I could, Rose. And I know you both would get on like a house on fire!

5:11 am

did anybody else get the red boxes?

5:12 am

You both would not be safe to bet out of that room by the way. so you would have to remain there.

5:12 am

just the 5 am hiccup, ruby, no worries

5:12 am

Only the normal babble freeze, Ruby.

5:12 am

Although saying that, Mari is also having red boxes too.

5:13 am

5:13 am

5:28 am

Good morning all.

5:29 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:32 am

Hi zoo.

5:32 am

Sorry, I had typed that earlier but forgot to hit return :)

5:32 am

How are you today?

5:33 am

haha no worries :-)

5:33 am

Hi kids.

5:33 am

Okay, had some surprising health news

5:33 am

Hello, Scrabs :-)

5:33 am

*waiting*

5:33 am

I hope it is good news then, Sukee!

5:34 am

Hi scrabs

5:34 am

Hello across the pond, zooz.

5:34 am

Well, not the best. It seems I had a minor heart attack that I didn't even notice. Now the doctor has me on meds.

5:35 am

Uh, oh. Do you have to have an angiogram now? How old are you?

5:35 am

...if I may ask. I am a doctor.

5:35 am

I have had a few tests, I guess I will get more when I see the specialist.

5:35 am

I am almost 59 and heart disease does run in the family.

5:36 am

The cardiologist will answer your questions.

5:36 am

I guess it's possible the shingles pain covered something or maybe it caused the shingles to come out. We really don't know when it happened. My holter results were normal.

5:37 am

He has me on pills to slow down my heartbeat and one other pill, both low dose.

5:37 am

Women have atypical signs and symptoms with heart attacks.

5:37 am

"indigestion" etc

5:38 am

Both me and the doctor were surprised. I only remember one pain in my back like a knife just before the shingles broke out but when the pain had already started.

5:38 am

Very sorry to hear that, Sukee. glad it has been spotted now though so things can be monitored.

5:38 am

Will be ramping up my walking and eating much healthier. I admit I was not always eating that well.

5:39 am

But even my father at age 71 or so, on an EKG, was found to have evidence of a prior MI.

5:39 am

I think the fact I never smoked will help a bit.

5:39 am

It makes you wonder how many people have had heart attacks and don't even realize it.

5:40 am

I spend a scary weekend before I saw my doctor, but feel much better now. Had my flu shot yesterday :)

5:41 am

good morning, everyone! Sukee that's scary news, but fortunate you know now to take precautions.

5:41 am

Hello, Dawg :-)

5:41 am

Hi lbd.

5:42 am

hi zooz, hi sukee

5:43 am

Best to write down any concerns or questions you have as you think of them, sukee. As when seein the doctors you will forget a lot of them.

5:44 am

Well, I have survived breast cancer, living with a mobility issue, now this :)

5:45 am

you are one tough lady, sukee!

5:45 am

You are obviously a strong lady, Sukee. A strong determind mind always helps at these very stressfull times.

5:45 am

Snap, Dawg!

5:45 am

I try :)

5:46 am

:-)

5:48 am

Hi dawger. Seeing lots of snow?

5:49 am

hiya scrabs! only in the high country. the mountains have a nice shawl of white stuff on the tops. altho the weather liars are saying we're suppose to get some here in the valley today.

5:50 am

Meanwhile, in Ontario it is going up to 20C today.

5:51 am

My youngest sister just did a 3 day hike in the Havasupai Reservation portion of the Grand Canyon and encountered snow in Flagstaff, AZ when she departed yesterday.

5:51 am

Yesterday we hit 73 but I was in the office all day.

5:53 am

chilly 43 here yesterday. Havasupai is a bit higher in elevation than I'm at. weather stream and el nino are showing the southern states across the board are going to get hit with more of the severe weather than up the northwest corridor

5:55 am

nbt... time to go make some breakfast. Take care all.

5:56 am

You too, Sukee :-)

5:57 am

hagd, sukee

5:58 am

8:29 am

8:29 am

Peri, the spring under the key also needs to be lubricated on either side of its connection. I count myselt a recent expert after cleaning and restoring a keyboard that was used daily, but not cleaned regularly (meaning: at all!). If you know all this already, huzzah, and hope you get a new one soon!

8:29 am

sounds wonderful. much happiness

8:30 am

Oh, Peri, so happy for you! Having one's own bathroom is SO nice. And not to share a kitchen - almost heaven!

8:31 am

Trif, catching up in the chog, hope you feel better soon! And phaeton, if you're still here, hi!

8:32 am

Hi JB

8:32 am

I did not lubricate the spring and once I had the key out I had trouble putting it back, had to get my nephew to help.

8:46 am

secondo's real name is in the grid today! that's nice

8:48 am

cute

9:04 am

Hellos babblers! I have been a casual player on here for a while now. Would anyone on here be interested in participating in a study I am doing for school on online communities?

9:12 am

I would need info on your school and the class

and are the results aggregated and anonymous?

9:13 am

How would the results be used? How will the information be identified? Has the study been approved by the school?

is this a college course?

9:14 am

Yes definitely therealblah, I would remove all usernames and identifying information. It is just a project for a college class, the paper would not be read by anyone outside of the class.Study is perhaps not the right word.

any study involving human subjects must follow guidelines and be approved by the department

what is the hypothesis? or is it more of a casual survey?

9:17 am

Sorry for the confusion 72 Temple Owl. I was told by my prof we would not need to do a formal IRB review because it is not a formal study but perhaps that is wrong

9:18 am

It is an online ethnography, so its making observations and interviews to help identify and understand an online community

i would go with what the prof says then. it does not seem to be a formal project. this is an interesting community for sure

9:21 am

I will definitely try and think of a way of proving that i am a college student

pysch or sociology?

9:23 am

anthropology

ah. some of us have joked over the years that Babble was created to gather data for someone's research for someone's doctoral dissertation. :)

thank goodness we use babblenames ;)

9:26 am

Haha! Unfortunately I am not quite there yet, just an undergrad. I am also a biology and English major so this kind of research is all new to me

9:27 am

I know how hard it is to get people in on those type things but I need to know that it is valad

gtg. happy babbling, all

bye TO

9:29 am

kdo you have a site to go to for the survey - will you send it out by email - how will you make contact

9:29 am

Of course judy65. I am not planning on doing anything major today, but once my prof approves the idea, I will get working on a way of proving my identity and ensuring anonymity such as it is

9:35 am

I do not have a site up yet, but if people feel like that would be a good way for them to share experiences, I will try and get one going

9:41 am

let us know so we can check it out I guess I chould not speak for every one butI belive there is intress

9:43 am

don't know if it is my typing or my spelling

9:46 am

10:34 am

10:42 am

Good morning, all! Am I the only person who works for municipal government morons?

10:42 am

I don't know Judi. is your new job in the same dept as the last one?

10:43 am

no but i've worked for corporate morons for a long time

10:43 am

No, Peri. The moved me from the Police Dept. to the Administration office. It's killing me.

10:44 am

Oh, sorry to hear that. but at least it is money coming in

10:45 am

don't u wonder how some people get hired

10:45 am

Hmph. I'm looking elsewhere.

10:45 am

my two rooms in my sister's house where I currently live are in total disarray. moving and packing is the pits

10:45 am

good luck with finding something else, Judi

10:46 am

Thanks, Peri. It's a slog, but I'm determined.

10:46 am

i feel for you peri...it's one of my least favorite tasks

10:47 am

I am trying to get the smaller stuff packed and moved so it will be easier to get the bigger stuff out. at least I do not have a bed or dresser to move.

10:48 am

my friends have been very generous and have given me some furniture. I did buy a mattress and box springs and would like a microwave and an iron

10:49 am

bbs

10:49 am

Bye Nan. HAGD

11:33 am

bye nan

11:33 am

finally found one of the 8's

11:34 am

fe 6/27, both of them, pls

11:34 am

the 8s are both similar in their endings

11:34 am

Don't have either...will look.

11:35 am

ty wv

11:35 am

got the other one! TYVM

11:35 am

yvw

11:38 am

fe 6/27, both of them, pls

11:39 am

Still looking....

11:39 am

looking for them also

11:39 am

fe6/27 - extend the fe516 with another vowel

11:40 am

fe5/16 that is

11:40 am

Both Fe6s are of the Tinkerbell persuasion.

11:40 am

tyvm

11:41 am

got the one the added the vowel, but not a second one

11:42 am

ty Judi

11:42 am

got both -- second one i found is Portugues for 'weekday'' with Latin plural.

11:43 am

clue for 1st fe6 pls?

11:43 am

Well, there is that clue too.

11:43 am

fe6 lights -- minus a usual A toward the beginning.

11:44 am

1st fo6 has lots of vowels in it

11:45 am

tyvm dcs

1:17 pm

4th column a?

there are 7 mlf, do you have any of them yet?

1:18 pm

nope

ai4/4, ai6/18, both related to what we breathe

1:21 pm

found ai4

1:21 pm

nbt

cool! ai6 is more of what we breathe

1:22 pm

ty there

yvw

1:24 pm

can I get a clue for either 8 please?

of the remaining 17 a's many could come from either 2nd col or 4th col, almost like a mirror image in the middle of the grid

no8, one who gives you the news

ra8, one who signs off on a law...same ending as no8

1:31 pm

is it supposed to end in a y? the no8 word?

1:31 pm

I don't know either of the 8s

no, both end in the "one who does" ending

well the base words of both end in Y but they are not in the grid

1:47 pm

lurking, but ty for the 8's

yvw ruby

1:53 pm

hi ruby

1:53 pm

sorry got lost on overstock.com

that's easy to do

1:54 pm

there I keep looking at the watches

1:54 pm

there I keep looking at the watches

any good deals?

1:57 pm

can I get a break down clue please.. I have tried to google but that didn't help?

for the 8's?

1:57 pm

please?

1:58 pm

there depends on what you are looking for I don't have an accountant with them but helps me to see what could still be bought at stores. I don't shop online

no8 - i hope the school will no**** us if there's a school day, in this case the school principal will be the no8

1:59 pm

duh ty there

1:59 pm

I was going the wrong direction

use the same construct for the ra8...a lawmaker who will ra**** a law is a ra8

2:03 pm

gee that was easy for the ra word wasn't it there?:) lol

lol, i never would have gotten them without earlier clues. I think it's harder when the actual root word is not in the grid.

2:05 pm

I didn't even "see" anything coming close to that since I wasn't looking that direction

certainly not words i use every day

2:06 pm

the no 8 maybe more so then the other

'hi, can i be the no8 of some bad news?"! ;)

2:08 pm

that works for me lol

and now that i've said that if i'd clued something like 'the bearer of bad news' it might have made more sense!

2:15 pm

hm maybe?

3:11 pm

an7/28....clue please

3:11 pm

against + whsat you breathe

3:13 pm

why would one want to be that? tyvm wvteach

3:28 pm

there is no definbition for this word but asks if you meant AN 6/18 which is a kind of TR 4

3:35 pm

help with TO 4/7 pls

3:40 pm

to+not loud but so**

3:45 pm

thnx gtrant

3:48 pm

3:50 pm

3:51 pm

thanx anyway Moly!

4:06 pm

TA7?

4:13 pm

help with second ha7 pls

ha7/32 - ha + sounds like a popular singer's name without the h and a single consonant not double

4:14 pm

ta7 a small pie?

4:14 pm

thanks peri

4:15 pm

yw hursh

4:15 pm

blah, now if only I knew what singer you were referring to

4:15 pm

i am having the same problem :)

haha, i knew that might be a risk. How about the 1st 2 of ha** kari, plus girl's name with single consonant

sorry all 4 of ha**

4:17 pm

aHA

4:17 pm

ty blah, got it

4:17 pm

what about the 8s, i haven't got either of them

i am not a big fan of hers but she sure sells a lot of records

no8/55 - one who tells you something; bearer of bad news

4:18 pm

no8/55 and ra8/55

4:18 pm

the ra8 ends the same as the no8

yup

a lawmaker is a ra8 of laws

4:20 pm

hurshy I have to decide what colors I want my new apt to be. the choices are overwhelming. but if I stick to Benj. Moore I can getr a 40% discount.

4:20 pm

still way too many choices though.

4:21 pm

all my apts have had white walls.

4:21 pm

oh well i was going to suggest BEHR, lima green

4:21 pm

is that what you decided on?

4:21 pm

that is what i chose for MY new apt living room and kitchen and it is GREAT

and it's so hard b/c a color that looks nice in the store may look entirely different in your apt

4:21 pm

I am glad you are happy with it.

4:21 pm

exactly, blah. we got a lot of samples and stuff.

4:22 pm

i think it is the best green in the history of greens

4:22 pm

I will start with the bedroom and make the walls some kind of blue

4:22 pm

that is saying something, hurshy

at least ben moore sells those little jars of many of their colors so you can try it on the wall

4:22 pm

my bedroom i always like to have pale yellow, but this time i added a coral color on the closet door and the door, for an extra pop

4:22 pm

I will do that, blah, thanks for the suggestion

4:23 pm

thanks for the clues

4:23 pm

are you done, hursh?

4:28 pm

8 re words left

4:33 pm

Painting apartments can be tricky. Sometimes you can have way too much color in too small of a space.

4:33 pm

it is a nice sized apt.

4:34 pm

I am not in a hurry to paint

4:35 pm

but it is nice that I have the option to do so

4:35 pm

I hate painting. Truly, madly, deeply hate it.

painting is one of those jobs i happily outsource. i don't mind the actual painting, but the prep work makes me crazy

4:36 pm

the landlord has someone who will paint and she will pay for him. I just have to buy the paint and I can get a 40% discount if I buy Benj Moore. this packing is making me nuts

4:37 pm

Someone who will PAY for your place to be painted? Wow, that is like knowing God.

4:37 pm

she is a friend.

4:37 pm

I need friends like that.

4:37 pm

Mary is a very dear friend of mine. she lives with her cousin who owns the building.

peri as much as packing is a PIA it sounds like it will be a lovely situation once you settle in

4:38 pm

they have both been very good to me re giving me furniture and a toaster and a shower curtain and liner.

4:38 pm

and other things too. I gave away a lot of stuff when I moved here.

4:39 pm

toaster oven I meant to say

4:39 pm

I bought a mattress and box springs. and I would like a microwave and an iron and a drying rack. I can use their washer/dryer.

4:40 pm

4:41 pm

I just love painting. I love starting a room, seeing it coming together, then standing back & admiring the end result. When I grow up, I might be a painter/decorator.

4:46 pm

and the 2nd re7 pls?

4:48 pm

4:49 pm

Alas no, Peri. I'm not well enough to travel. But the trip wasn't wasted. My youngest daughter is in NYC right now, en route home from Florida.

4:50 pm

4:52 pm

hi all, ta7/28 pls?

hi mary - type of small pie

4:53 pm

Or a junior slutty woman : P

4:54 pm

ty, got it

hah!

did you ever try to save leftovers for another meal but you really want to eat them? this is why it is bad to skip meals. :/

oh gosh yes...or you eat more than one portion and decide it's just not worth it to save the rest so you eat it

b/c you know, you don't want to waste it

i clean out the fridge on garbage day by eating things.

4:55 pm

There are a lot of reasons why it's bad to skip meals

did a marathon shopping trip to save fuel.

my body does not let me skip meals. if i don't eat every few hours i get shaky, cranky etc. (aka hangry)

that sometimes occurs but not today. i wasn't even thirsty, just determined. the early dark is holding me hostage at night.

5:06 pm

hi and good afternoon or evening

5:06 pm

TO, how do you get out to your dances if you don't like being out after darK?

the car knows the way! if not local, i hitch a ride with another dancer.

dancers often carpool. the night driving problem is not unheard of in the dance community. some folks just enjoy company as well.

5:12 pm

what kind of dance do you do TO?

swing for one.

5:13 pm

cool, love that

molly asked, then left.
