Hi all.
Hi, all. No sleep again tonight. My best friend of 46 years was killed in a car wreck yesterday. It's just starting to sink in.
Hi and hugs Mimi - condolences. So sad
that's really the suck, mimi. I'm sorry to hear it.
oh, Mimi, I'm so sorry :-(
Hi Mimi. So sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers are with you. xxx
wow .. where mimi?
how dreadful... my condolences.
so terribly sorry, mimi
ro 8
Thanks, all. Ruru, she lived in Atlanta. I'm worried about her 86-year-old mother who just got home from the hospital after a bad fall broke ribs and punctured a lung.
I'm really sorry mimi
I lost a friend last week too.. I'm kind of flattened too
Must've been such a shock for you - I hope your friend's mother has got support around her.
Condolences to you too, ru.
sorry to hear, ru
sympathies to you as well ruru
so sorry ru. Thoughts and prayers with you too. xx
so sorry ru
bad time for this to happen huh mimi?
we have a friend in the hospital in serious condition - he fell through an attic access door onto concrete while he was getting decorations out of storage - hit his head; fractured some vertebrae in his back, and broke a bunch of ribs
Thanks, ruru. All that history I can't share with anyone else...she'll be missed. I'm grateful I have my own spirituality to comfort me but her mother does not and her entire life will change now as she cannot live in the house alone. Her son will have to place her in assisted living.
omg, dee!
RI8
Aw Dee - horrendous. Too many accidents! Stay safe everyone.
oh, so sorry, for her mum... how awful
horrible mimi
How awful, Dee....so sorry.
he is a football coach; in great condition, just a horrific accident - not sure if access ladder broke, or what caused it
de7
All these reminders that time is not promised to any of us and to try to live in the moment and always let those we love know how we feel.
wow, so true, mimi... days are not our own
that is for sure mimi.. that's been my motto for the last 10 days
i will add them to my prayers.... walter was asking me jsut last night why i am quiet so long after i go to bed and do not start to read for such a long time... we4 know why
Been saying that for years mimi.
The awful part is that she and I were in conflict when she died. Will try not to engage in regret, though, as it is a waste of energy.
conflict perhaps, but I am certain she knew the love in your heart, mimi
Everyone has conflicts mimi. It's part of life. It is just unfortunate timing. xx
mimi... be assured that her spirit knows your heart... let it go
woes
oops!
I never argue with anyone :D
I often felt she knew me better than I knew myself. She was a devoted friend.
agree with medusa's words - unfortunate timing, but the love was there
There are not many like that about. I am lucky to have 1 of them. I am sure she will always look out for you.
of course you don't, ru
Yes, her spirit is free and in the loving care of the universe which we call God. I take great comfort in that, as I went briefly to "the other side" years ago and it is glorious.
<---mr. easy peasy
Aw mimi. So pleased you came back to us
Sorry to bring the chog down but good to have all of you here for support, as always. Time for me to try to relax, so looks like martini time. Good night and hugs to all. Thank you.
good night, mimi -- big hugs . . .
Hope you sleep well, mimi. Hugs
Good night Mimi. Hope you start feeling better soon. xx
May you be refreshed tonight, mimi; rest well!

Thanks rose.

Good.
so long as DH can make me giggle and LOL i'm doing okay i guess. no use in weeping, right?
i am actually feeling quite refreshed. I slept the whole night and did not wake up once. Not done that for a very long time!

Hugs hurshy.

thanks
oh dear hurshy. you poor love.{{hugs}} and many kisses
thank you
7's down. Now on to 6's! lol
yay medusa
and don't ask me to list the 6's...
thanks.
Still got 112 left though. lol
i have a new system for grids, i start with the tiles with the fewest words and work my way up to the ones with the most. it is pretty good.
okay hurshy. that looks different
I do that sometimes too. It is cool.
unfortunately, i don't vary. i start with the left top tile, work my way across the row, then go down to the next row. i try to get as many as possible on each tile.
that was my system until i just switched to this new system
i have a few i use. Depends on how the brain is feeling. lol
nowadays i usually find about 80% of the words before i succumb to the temptation of lickety's list.
I would be lost without the list!
it really doesn't matter. so long as you are enjoying yourself
last lest list lost lust
*giggle* hurshy
Exatly
me too, I list right away
i like it when a letter combo is a real word with all five vowels
exactly even. Bloody wrist just cracked and now got dead hand for a while. It bloody hurt and now can't type with it for a mo. lol
ohhhh, nasty, Medusa
yes. I have probs with my wrists coz of all the years of knitting.
oh poor medusa. *showers kisses on the errant wrist*
I would tell you the name of it but don't know how to spell it!
carpal tunnel?
Aw thanks rose. Feeling better now. :)
medusa...carpal tunnel syndrome ??
No hurshy. Tinasinovitis (?)
neat. i mean not neat but, um, if you have to have somthing wrong with you it might as well have an impressive title
hmmm tenosinovitis??
It is an rsi.Apparently it is common in people that work in factories working with veg and stuff
tenosynovitis...
Possibly rose. Like I say, don't know how to spell it. It is basically the tendons and soft tissues swelling in the wrist
medical stuff spellings are not often intuitive
wow, that's quite an ailment, Rose, have never heard of it
So true hurshy. I even have letters after my name, Heather Cotton, OCD, IBS. lol
lolll you said it medusa. you ne4 a firm foothold in word stems to master medical terminology
I had never heard of it til the doctor told I had it. lol
I love medical programs but the words do get me! lol
And I don't do things by halfs. lol
*giggle* DH does not like watching medical programs with me as i tend to pick them apart.
Lol. I prefer the real ones. Do love House though. Hugh laurie is such a great actor.
like a patient with a tracheostomy tube and on a ventilator being able to talk audibly.
house house house house house house house
Makes me laugh too rose. Would never happen. lol
oh yeah ...House..one of my all time faves. but he walks with his cane on the wrong side... loll
lol.
that's why he gets shoulder pain
I just love his sarcasm. Makes me crack up. lol
i mean that's not a mistake of the show, they purposely have him walk with it on the wrong side
aha... you all know what i mean.
I never know what side you are suppose to use one on.
Ben Casey Dr Kildare
yeah i know hurshy. it accentuates his limp
Not seen that but have lots lined up to watch
there is one scene i feel like they wrote for house but then somehow it got switched to wilson. because, it didn't seem like wilson - to tell the woman on the first date that the guy was a nose-picker
g'day byzantine. are you cruising?
lol
and in like a kind of mean way
how many noses could the guy pick in an hour?
nice to see you byzanti8ne. is all well with you, mate?
Good question!
it was just why he was sick, from always picking
The nose thing I mean. lol
lol...depends on how good the photos are??
any clues for the top wi6 please?
as i alway6s say.. i know the face...can't pick the nose..
wi6, a slang term for the penis
Thanks rose.
or.. wi + double an em + pecan p**
what about the second wr5?
got it.
f's hard :(
fe6. fe + most of wet precipitation + vowel
i think i have that
thanks rose.
fi9. fi +**/um/i don't know +vowel + loch **** monster
ah thanks
definition prolly would have worked too :)
fi4/7. fi + *augh*, show amusement out loud
yup got that
fo6. sounds like toxic substance like arsenic. and plural
aha thanks fer those!!
f's finished??
not quite, 2 more
do you know which 2 ?
no
but it's ok
name that proper noun! impressionist painter
dinner ready. timer has gone off. catch you all later. xoxox

ding ding ding!
se6/21 please?
don't have it Medusa, looking
fished on paris river
thanks Hurshy

got it
can you share?
se + consonant + not out
For the 6 add a vowel
oh ok then i have that
Cool.
that last ro6 please?
see this new system is good. with it and just a few clues i have 14 to go!
the last one i have is a plural
but i am missing one r so... could be wrong
no i can't be wrong it's from the right R that i miss
Well done you! I still have 78.
rinsed
oh dear
thanks. Did not have that one. ;)
ironically, i already did
lol
Well it just helped me finish the ri's
nice
still need that last ro6 though.
still need that last ro6 though.
well it's a plural
so lookit what you have and see how you missed that
It is the one after the ro8.
i know
it is a plural
she insists, politely but firmly
Got it! Thanks
yw
Now on the rh words.
oh i have two
animal and pl
is there a third?
just 2. I tried the animal first!
low battery
ok
ttfn
ttfn.

I got that one. Need the one before it. Thanls though
re+ if you give someone anesthesia, you ****te them or put them under ****tion
ah, ty

flo, my dear. how can i help you, sweetie?
chicken feet were served once as a special treat at my family reunion. I didn't partake...
*giggle* LIKE I SAID... I AM NOT LISTING THE 6'S.
Think I would pass on them too.
sorry for shouting...
lol. Don't need you to rose.
down to 4,5,6,7 letter words
ugh jessmom. i am so totally with you.
I have 50 left now.
Any clues for pe6 please?
It was bizarre, but everyone else ate them right up. Of course, this is the same family that starts the day with breakfast-warm homemade chocolate pudding spread on buttered homemade bread.
pe6/24 is a pt word

Ah. thanks
no, pe4 yes, as Jess said
Now working on the 4 before it.

*hugs ruby* Hello dear friend. I had a full day of family constellations yesterday, and after that I had to drop in at the end-of-year event from my volunteer work.
I am good. Just waiting fr the postman. He is late today. Got a few things I am waiting for. Had a good day yesteray too
thanks medusa, for rose's message. So sorry to have just missed her :(
Was literally just too.
come on, mr mailman! Bring medusa her stuff!
Lol. Got an imorttant letter I am waiting for and some books I won on goodreads. lol
yeah I see it... same minute, darn it. Ah well, am gonna email her today.
oh wow, gratz with the win!
I've been tru ly stuck in the house since Tuesday, waiting for a call from the fisc
they promise!
oh are you still waiting, ruby? That is so nasty. They suck in so many ways.
I get quite a few from there. Love it.
I am going stir crazy
I hate waiting around for people!
can you leave the house today, ruby? Since it is weekend?
I hate waiting, period.
yes, at least I can get the mail!
20 words left!
goooo medusa
Thanks sprite
just p, r and s to go. All 4 and 5 ltters too.
no way they are gonna call you in the weekend, ruby, they keep business hours
theirnmachines keep business hours, they do nothing and seem to have lost my huge dossier
ohhhh that is good news, ruby... without your dossier they should forget you :)
I can't drive, so can't even visit old Burt; I paid one of my helpers to visit him " times during the week but he is fdinf fast
thank for the optimistic thought; but I doubt it :(
7 s words to go!
will keep my fingers crossed, ruby. Best thing they can do is forget about you guys. Could somebody drive you to Burt this weekend? Sorry to hear he is fading so fast.
quick work there, medusa
been here since just after flip. lol
lol I meant from 20 to 7
he continues to eat very well, but is otherwise increasingolu out of it -- mostly sleeps when he in't agitated
he continues to eat very well, but is otherwise increasingolu out of it -- mostly sleeps when he in't agitated
he continues to eat very well, but is otherwise increasingolu out of it -- mostly sleeps when he in't agitated
ah. lol
fw now
it is a tough disease, ruby :( Am sorry for you both. But very glad he is someplace where they can care for him 24/7, and not with you where you'd be forced to do way more than you possibly can.
er
wtg medusa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hugs ruby. Hope he gets better soon.
sorry; this laptop is a PITA
Thanks sprite
ty, medusa, but he can onlyy get woese....
does anyone need any help before I go?
I am good, thanks medusa. Have a lovely day!
Aw, so sorry hun. I don't know what is wrong but hope he does not suffer too much. Bigger hugs.
And my laptop is the same!
he has Alzheimer's and only knows me
Aw. Nasty one.
It is sad to see because he was brilliant before
Big hugs and good luck everyone. I am off for some food.
I am so glad I have gotten to know him before he lost that brilliance, ruby
I ignored the early symptoms, attributing them to old age
Think most do that. Just don't want to see their loved ones are really ill.
the symptoms are mostly the same, ruby, at first. Don't blame yourself, please.
There would have been nothing to do, anyway,; putting a nameon it wouldn't have helped
very true, that
And I have to concentrate on this cancer. I had a blood testlast week and will no the prognosis on Wed
know* duh
fingers crossed here, ruby. Yes, you have to think about yourself for a change.
penis
roflololllll I see you found my favorite word
whoops, sorry again
that's exactly what I was thinking as I typed it, chuckling to myself, just put it in the wrong place
*giggles*
ions
and its brother, eons ;)
but no aeon today
no more talking formoi, need more coffee (or a kick in the pants)
*gives ruby a hug in stead of a kick, and pours her a nice cuppa*
{{hugs}} and g'day my darling sprite. i am so tipsy. i hope i can catch up with you after the next flip. xoxox
lol, I hope you had a good time, darling. *hugs* and sleep well.
and yes, I'll be on line at my normal times tomorrow
Tipsy Rosie? I've totally lost my taste for alcohol, I guess because of the morphne
whicg is probably a good thing?
quite possible, ruby. How is the sweet tooth though? Do you need a refill of cookies and such?
You are sweeter than your cookies, but I fear for my teeth! lol
lol! Did you love all the things I sent?
I've gained almost a kilo!
wooooot well done!
My phantom, pensioner
oh, good one, mel, and hi :)
Yes, I did. You are too generous, but MUCH ap preciated!
Hi everyone ((hugs))
it is a small thing, ruby, and I am glad I can do it for you.
hi mel
I'm waiting for the lunch lady; yesterday was the first really good lunch in a long time, even had a vegetable soup
sounds good, ruby :)
It was such tasty fish that I had to shre it with Rufe; he's learned to eat from a fork
he likes fish. Is that unusual?
lol oh oh oh ruby, you are really something!
I don't think I could survive without the dogs!
no, loving fish is pretty common for dogs. Terra gets fresh meat, and once in a while a mix of fish. It is good for them
and yeah, the dogs really give you a reason to live, don't they. *hugs* You spoil them rotten, grin, but they are still very well-behaved
and their fur is extraordinary! Baby girl stays outside mostof the time and never gets cold
doesn't it get smelly? Or don'tyou mind that smell?
No, they stay clean and odor-free; neither one has ever had a bath
awesome
that was the hiccup
lots of fur and dust, however. This would be a bad house for somebody with those allergies
good thing you don't have those.
just cats, horses, and many foods
and latex, lol
thank God you aren't allergic to dutch cookies!
oh well, right... no kinky sex games for you then
Except for cats and horses, they've all started in the last &' years which I find very weird
14* years
as I understand it, you can go years on end without a single symptom, while your body manages to suppress the reactions. And then one day the limit is reached and kaboom, the allergy manifests
the food allergies are scary, reaquiring an adrenaline shot and they're all common things I've eaten my whole life
you do have an epi pen ready, don't you?
you bet! I'd be dead already if I didn't
ok :) I know how scary it can be, swelling up and not getting air
do you have stats for the 8 ad 9 and for the z?
yeah the z is zo4/9
9 is fi9/72
one of the 8s is de8/50
ro8/40 I HAVE to clue. More like our aussie friend
ugh. Not more. Being like our aussie friend, I mean
I don't have the 3rd 8 yet
ah, got it. ri8/45, same ending
lunch just arrived: pate with pickles, mystery beef with potatoes au gratin, mystery cheese, bread and a chocolate eclair.
Sprite, I must be thick but I'm not seeing your clue - I think I get the first three letters but the rest is eluding me
sound good enough, darling. Enjoy. *hugs* I'll see about a new care package this week.
you are never thick, matty. The biggies end in the Scots Loch monster.
some days it's very good but 3 OR 4 out of 6 are inedible
Gotya - obvious once I was told ;)
lol aren't they usually, matty... hindsight is 20/20
Yar! So...the offer letter for the job has come through (yay). I spent yesterday in bed with food poisoning (boo) and we're off to watch London Irish get thrashed by Edinburgh today - rugby (yay...ish?)
firefl5. Good grid.
yay, boo and eh forMatty
though I've not been working on the grid long, I'm not doing well, especially with vowel words (I still have no As, I'm missing the I and the I in the first column and have no Os from the second column or the bottom of the third, no Is from the fourth and fifth columns)
and yay for smart Sprite
Mornin' folksies

oh dear, that is awful, food poisoning. I remember sitting on the toilet half the night with a bucket on my lap. Eating as much norit as I could.
hiya bichon
((bichon))
I found it a pretty hard grid myself, matty. would you like clues?
Good morning all.
ruby, you had food poisoning? From what?
food poisoning is awful
I was not a well bunny - feverish as well. I feel much better today. Oh, and my lady bits decided to join as well (time of month) not wanting to feel left out
No no, not this time; it is Matty
poor matty
I had it the last time we went skiing in Austria, about 10 yrs ago, from a bad sausage
It was duck - we went out for a meal to celebrate my job and I think it was the duck
got it once from an eggroll. Haven't been able to enjoy tauge ever since.
I have been lucky to have avoided that, even going to third world countries.
and once from sateh. But I can still enjoy sateh, thank God.
are you aure you can manage a rugby game? Not that I sound like somebody's old grandma or anything LOL
ok, off with me. *hugs* to you all lovely ladies.
Hah! Yeah, I reckon - much better today. Jeff made me some plain pasta last night, which was fine and I had a crumpet this morning - so far, all good. I just feel a tad washed out, is all
bye sprite
Hi and bye sprite
Have a great day, Sprite!
hi and hello, sukee
Hi Ruby.

I never have what you need, bichon :(
don't worry about it ruby, you always have what I need
you're a sweetie!
Do you want to meet us in Iceland in Feb.?
I wish! It's on my bucket list, but until all the pendingmatters conclude, one way or another, I can barely go out and get the mail. lol, ruefully
So in this grid you can go number one (pe4) but not number two (poos)
But at least we have the (male) organ that allows you to go number one in the grid

it's 68 degrees...why is my wash not drying???
I only have two, Bich - my second one is to plant embryonic plants again
Oh yes, we must talk about the weather. 70 degrees here, I'm in shorts in December. Love it.
Embryonic plants??
feels so weird
we will surely pay.
I don't buy into that "we will surely pay" philosophy. I hear so many people saying that. It seems so negative.
el nino is reality.
but, it i stime for reindeer games. and i have work to finish.
Well, sort of ;) (re embryonic plants) - nascent plants, if you prefer?
Hmm, the second re6/21 I have is re + not close
Molly, don't understand not close,
Well if you are not closing something you are ....ing it
ty Molly
and the re 6/21, right after that, pls
it is my last word
Maybe I have lost the drift of cluing here. Used to be that cluing "not ___" was it's opposite. Like not pa is ma....not off is on, etc.
I just got it - it's a town in So Calif near LA, definition is grayish green.
the re 6/21?
yes - it's like the tide goes back, but spelled with different cons and last vowel
it was my last one too.
or perhaps re & the body shape of a car without the n on the end. TY Kam
good clue lyn, I remember that because I'm from So Calif, but it's not a well known town in the world! YW though. I was having a hard time coming up with a clue!
i have 2 re 6/21's one is to re plus op4 and the other is re plus u plant se**
There are 4 re6/21
i don't understand lynxxx clue?
re6 pt -- didn't let the horse get out of control
The 3rd re6/21 is a town in California made famous by a Tom Petty song...Free Falling...it's a long day. livin' in re6...
MLFAN - take your plant one - drop one of the dble vwls and add a diff vwl to the end
ah got it ty
sorry was in the other room for a few
But this is an "older folks" place, so Tom Petty clues tend to not go over very well.
i know the song lol. it used to not be a song i like but it has grown on me a bit
she's a good girl loves her daddy...
I reckon Tom Petty qualifies as older folks himself now
that he is lynxxx
First in5?
nvm
tom petty is for old folks. a has been
true he kind of is a has been
True TO, but most of the older folks here don't get rock music clues
it would be like me giving an MLF type clue unless you are lucky to recognize him in something like the rocky horror movie
he never grew,musically, imo

hi stiddy!
how are you? Miss you! Was in tri-cities a couple months ago... thought of you!
Doing well, thanks! Crazy weather this "fall" (seems more like winter)
I read your profile - what's the story on Renfield?
Yes, it has been very wintery here too -- but fortunately a " normal" sort of winter, not that awful frigid dry stuff we got last year.
She was in a housefire. They both died and so did their pets.
Fireworks!
YAY JB!!!!!
aaAAAnnNNNNdd - StidMAMMMMMAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Hugs and Hersheys coming your way!
yums!
Prepare to be pelted with kisses - the chocolate kind, of course :)
always up for kisses... ;-)
Love the candles for Renny, what a nice rememberance
I will miss her for a long time.
She is definitely missed! I still miss FMitch, and think of her often. Happy that you're happy, Stiddy, and life is much more settled for you now. If you were here in Phila right now, you could be mowing your yard. It's gonna be 70 degrees tomorrow. In mid-December. We are running our bedroom air conditioner tonight. CRAZY weather!
Life is better than it has been for a long time for us, thanks. It is seasonably wet and warm here, has been strangely windy/stormy, but otherwise a good sign. The drought is officially over as our snowpack begins to build again.
Sorry it's so warm for you folks, I know that 's not necessarily a good thing!
And now, sadly, I must go - it's definitely time for bed here on the east side of the country. Hugs again, Stid! and goodnight to you and any other Babblers still here. (Tosses a last handful of HK's to the west!)
Take care, JB. I'll be online a lot more in another week (vacation!). Be well.
That's really sad :( Thanks for letting me know
Sorry to be the one to say, it was the beginning of November when it happened. Felt like a gut punch when I heard.
Sorry, I'm in and out. Watching Dolly's Coat of Many Colors and over here on commercials.
no worries. we are watching one of the "Divergent" movies. I am using the grid to help me through the more intense parts. I am not one for really scary or mean things.
I'm thinking you're not a watcher of the Hunger Games series then...that one's tough for me.
I saw the first one, not the others. Interesting premise. I watched it because it was something my 8th graders were interested in. Same with this series. Even though I am no longer with 8th grade students on a regular basis, I still want to stay in touch with what is motivating and interesting to them.
Makes sense :) My computer shut off unexpectedly. Going to watch the movie on the TV via AppleTV instead. Goodnight, and good to chat again!
sweet dreams, and be well! I am out too. *poof*
