4:28 am

4:30 am

yesterday, 3 of us were chatting about gambling and horse races and we were told that our chat was inane (given as a clue)

4:31 am

lol

4:31 am

{{hugs}} and good day to my beautiful sprite. how was your yesterday and night?

4:31 am

{{hugs}} darling ruby. {{hugs}} dear ivesy

4:31 am

my feeling is, "nobody forces anyone else to read the chog". If it's boring, turn it off

4:32 am

((rosie))

4:32 am

hello rose ,nice to see you..!

4:32 am

*hugs rose* Yesterday was good, very quiet and peaceful. Am still having bad dreams.

4:32 am

the people most critital of the chat are people who hardly every contribute to it anyway. Let them talk.

4:33 am

*giggle* nice to see you too, ivesy. i wish i could do something about those dreams. can you nap today?

4:33 am

sorry. second part of that was to sprite. *sigh*

4:34 am

yeah probably. And it is ok, am used to having nightmares. Probably a combination of the thing with my friend plus the noise of the fireworks. 'S okay, it will pass.

4:35 am

There's no room for meanness in the chog

4:35 am

btw aunty rose did it again. you should have seen my little niece when she opened up her musical jewelry box with the dancing ballerina. and then she opened the tutu. and the long pink lace gloves. oh my. we were all in fits of laughter.

4:35 am

xanax helps me with sleep issues, sprite

4:36 am

it is such a shame, if the chog turns nasty. No need for that, is there? we are all different, and that is what makes us interesting.

4:36 am

awwww how precious, rose

4:37 am

that is so cute!

4:37 am

attar

4:37 am

aaah, did it again

4:37 am

I tend to get even worse dreams from calming meds, ruby. Usually it is best to let things run their course, for me.

4:37 am

attar of roses...

4:38 am

lolll. the tutu went straight on, over what she already had on. the dress jewels went around the neck, and on the ears. the gloves, of course had fingers too long. she danced and danced. it was so sweet.

4:38 am

After years without nightmares, I've started having them about Burt!

4:38 am

priceless. You did well, auntie rose!

4:39 am

once don downloads the pics i will send them to you. oh, and the rag doll was hugged to tightly.

4:39 am

aw poor ruby :( It is frighteningly hard, isn't it, to have to let him go into other people's care.

4:39 am

To be fair the babbler in question did say no offence intended. It was said for a clue.

4:39 am

that would be much appreciated, rose

4:40 am

Hello, Ladies and Happy New Year to you all :-)

4:40 am

hiya zooz! *hugs* And a ver4y happy new year to you and your family. Did you have a good year's end?

4:41 am

i'm not surprised you are dreaming of burt, ruby. he was a part of your life for some time. and now... you also have all those drugs on board. they too will affect the way your mind works.

4:41 am

((zzoozz)) true, but you can't unring a bell and I am very rarely offended, but tht rankled

4:41 am

ah, for a clue, no meanness is implied!

4:41 am

It was manic, Sprite. But good fun thanks. hope yours was good? And how did the start of your work go?

4:41 am

maybe, but it was otherwise a perfect day

4:41 am

((Ruby))

4:41 am

{{zooz}} dear man. and a very Happy New Year to you also.

4:42 am

work went very well. I feel like a fish in the water. Our holidays were very peaceful, no kids and no frills, just me and my beloved.

4:42 am

Rose you are a fun lady to have around I am sure. Sounds like you all had a good fun day!

4:43 am

Good to hear, Sprite! The children were not home for Christmas?

4:44 am

Hello and Happy New Year to you all!

4:44 am

don't let it rankle, ruby. If no offense is meant and it was given as a clue, best leave it at that. The rare occasion when people intend to be hurtful here is bad enough.

4:44 am

hiya biltong, and to you and yours!

4:44 am

And to you too, Biltong :-)

4:44 am

thanx billtong, and back at you dear

4:45 am

OK, then, I'll try to be unrankled

4:45 am

my daughter was home part of boxing day, zooz. the rest of the time they were both at friends or working.

4:45 am

Thank you :)

4:45 am

*hugs ruby and helps her with the unrankling* There you go, dear. All straightened out.

4:45 am

Happy New Year, biltong

4:46 am

Oh Ruby you do make me smile with your comments in the chog. Unrankled lol

4:47 am

and you are a tough critic NOT!!

4:47 am

LOL

4:48 am

t

4:48 am

tough critics are overrated anyway :)

4:48 am

And you did nice poems for Liz & Byz.

4:49 am

For me, this is a very safe and warm place, often, much needed as life is tough enough

4:50 am

life is extremely challenging for you atm, ruby. I am glad our babble chog is one place where you can let your hair down

4:50 am

Agreed.

4:52 am

I finally got warm! It took 3 sweaters and a blanket and the fire!

4:52 am

May i have a stat foran E on the right please?

4:52 am

glad it worked, ruby. It is nasty to be cold.

5:18 am

I am trying lots of non words but they are not taking lol

5:23 am

it's like "sounds like a word, looks like a word" but it isn't

5:24 am

Yeah very true like nonset etc

5:24 am

I can not find any words so far from that N on the right lol

5:25 am

no4 Italian grandma and pl

5:25 am

I should type that more often. No soon as i had typed that I found a NE 4/4 lol

5:26 am

5:27 am

How on earth did I miss those two. Many thanks, Ruby!

5:27 am

zzoozz, have you seen the small series "Tunnel"? It,s Worth watchig

5:28 am

EN 4/4 + beam of light from a ****r pen.

5:28 am

No I have not, Ruby. i will check it out on google.

5:29 am

EN + to trap something or someone.

5:30 am

ty zzoozz

5:30 am

Welcome.

5:31 am

I see it is a detective series set in Folkestone and Calais.

5:31 am

207, nbt and nbs, but running out of steam

5:32 am

225 and I am on the bottom E this is for my first run through.

5:32 am

Yes, it has 6 parts and they do subtitles for the English here, but not for the French

5:32 am

It is funny, I have started thinking in French, even though my skill is lacking

5:33 am

I often wondered if people who move to a different speaking country to their own would at some point start to think and dream in that countries native tongue.

5:36 am

I've had to be bi-lingual for a long time, given that I ad no choice, but this is a new level and I'm haaving to translate to English when my anglophone friends visit

5:37 am

I think all the medical issues this past year pushed me to this new level

5:37 am

but I still have an American accent which I can't fix

5:38 am

Well you have been there a long time now so I suppose that is what happens. No bad thing though is it.

5:39 am

I would loved to have learned different languages when i was young. I have tried a few years back but I just can not seem to get my head around it.

5:41 am

I started Learning French at 11 and althogu it was only twice a week, I thin it developed neural synapses for la***

5:42 am

Then I had two years in high school and two more at university, but re**** couldn't speak until I first visited France when I was 21 and had a little baby with me

5:42 am

Hi all :)

5:43 am

I do not hink I have enough neurons in my brain for that to happen, Ruby lol

5:43 am

Hello, Liz :-)

5:43 am

((liw)) and here comes Liz, Her hair in frizz, Drinkibng sloe gin fizz and seeking Mr. Byz

5:44 am

lolol - thanks, Ruby. It was good to see Byz here - hadn't seen him for a while.

5:44 am

I love your poems :)

5:44 am

it's too la** to learn another language as an adult, I think, unless you move to a place and have no choice

5:45 am

but that oner was full of typos, sorry

5:45 am

I can read past the typos!

5:45 am

Yes I agree. I just do not have it in me to learn it, But If i as forced to go to a place where they speak a different language then I would have no choice,

5:46 am

I only write them for people I re**** like (or whose names easily suggest rhymes)

5:47 am

37 words left - need to finish tonight because I've got a busy morning - Skype to Canada and then going to see Suffragette.

5:47 am

They all make me smile, Ruby.

I only have 185 words and I still don't have the en7 that could 'trip you up' (according to Sprite) :)

5:47 am

Any clues for an 6/7 pls?

5:48 am

2 en 7s Matty. Which one?

5:48 am

EN + like a symbol on a drum kit, Matty.

5:48 am

Sorry 3 not 2

The only one I have is the one that builds off the en4/4

5:49 am

an7, ah at reindeer has

Got that en drum kit or trap one - thanks!

5:50 am

So like Zooz said or en + trap is another way, and en 5, 6, 7 and 9 all build from the en 5

5:50 am

what* a reindeer has

5:50 am

thanks, ruby

5:50 am

Thanks Ruby - so obvious but I didn't see it.

5:50 am

hello everyone

5:50 am

Hello, Annie :-)

5:50 am

Hi Annie

5:51 am

((hello annie))

5:51 am

The sn on a drum kit is actually a drum, not a cymbal. Just to avoid confusion.

5:51 am

Hi (((ruby, liz and zooz))

5:51 am

morning Molly :)

5:51 am

Hello, Molly :-)

5:51 am

Hi Molly

5:51 am

yesterday we had a big conversation about horse racing and betting and I was hoping you would appear

5:52 am

hello Molly

5:52 am

Hi Annie, Hi Liz, Hi Zoom

I don't yet have any 9s. I am feeling very thick today - I've done loads of thick things today - I put three measuring jugs of water in the coffee maker instead of two thus overflowing it. I tripped over my own pajama bottoms (don't ask), I forgot to bring towels in to the bathroom when showering - it's just a clumsy day

5:52 am

I was here and typed quinelas into the chat. Then I left covering my face.

5:52 am

Annie was here for the horse racing chat. She put quinela in the chat : D

5:53 am

Have you got the en 5 meaning to go in?

5:53 am

(what about invisible ruby?)

I do (now)....

5:53 am

Oh dear, Matty. You need to start your day again lol

5:53 am

They all build from that - if you need help, I will.

OK, leave it with me for a bit - thanks!

5:57 am

Oh why are grids huge on days when I have other stuff to do?

5:57 am

Good morning all

5:57 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:57 am

Hi Sukee

5:57 am

hello Sukee

5:58 am

Typing injured today, have a boo boo on one of my cuticles :) Did it cutting a sweet potato :)

5:59 am

Ouch!

5:59 am

It bled a lot, but now have a bandaid on it :)

5:59 am

ouch, sukee

6:00 am

I hope the sweet potato is worth it. We tried to make a sweet potato and cashew dip today (usually we buy one) and it was a big failure. Tasted awful!

6:01 am

I cut it into fries and they were delicious. At least I have enough for a couple of meals now. Sweet potatoes are so hard to cut through.

6:01 am

Yes - pumpkins too.

6:01 am

And turnip.

6:01 am

have you ever made sweet potato latkes? They are delish, especially with sour crem

6:01 am

ooh, that sounds good.

6:02 am

That sounds lovely - no I've only ever had latkes with regular potatoes.

6:02 am

they made mashed turnips with the delivered lunch and they were awful, probably because I thought they were potatoes

6:03 am

lol ((Ruby))

6:03 am

sweet potatoes are better for you so I makes that dish less sinful

6:03 am

Bet you were disappointed,

6:04 am

Turnips are gross, unless they are in stew and have absorbed other flavors.

6:04 am

it's better than cake!

6:04 am

I only like them mashed and mixed with carrot.

6:04 am

They're fine in couscous or pcikled with beets and onions

6:04 am

and garlic

6:05 am

5I used to cook....)

6:07 am

Quite a nice grid today - listed at 39 left and it's flowing well again.

6:10 am

Okay 300 down 135 more to find tie for a hot beverage and time to refresh my eyes.

6:11 am

Have a good day Zooz

6:11 am

bye zzoozz

Whew - halfway. Time to take the Christmas decorations down - see ya la5 all!

6:14 am

Enjoy your day

6:14 am

I think I'll keep my wreath and will add hearts for Valentine's Day

6:15 am

Sounds like a good idea - practical and romantic.

6:15 am

and it's so pretty

6:16 am

That's the most important thing.

6:16 am

6:27 am

ruby!!!!

6:28 am

6:28 am

I never learned to drive :) Thankfully we have a bus system for those with disabilities, I get door to door service.

9:51 am

9:52 am

i have el 5 happy

Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;... In every man there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself; and this may be the case in so high a degree, he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all. - Soren Kierkegaard

9:52 am

11:25 am

i had some rainbow striped leg warmers

11:25 am

Oh, MLF. That is just... depressing.

11:26 am

I was very anti-trend in Jr. High & High School. Wore the polo shirts but did not pop the collars.

11:26 am

judi i actually didn't wear them that much i did wear thom mckan shoes(sp) the brown with the white soles and leather shoestrings

11:27 am

Boat shoes! Had those too.

11:27 am

judi i popped the collars but not much in layering things

11:27 am

boat shoes and hammer pants :-)

11:27 am

Oh, those were Sperry's around these parts.

11:27 am

an 6/18, the third one, pls

11:28 am

Nah. Didn't layer. We had one guy in our class who would wear three layers of polos - all popped collars. Insufferable.

11:28 am

Now see, there goes someone mentioning MC Hammer again. He is unknown here in Babbleland to most people.

11:28 am

Yep. Sperry Topsiders. Rad!

11:29 am

I had to laugh at all those people who had never been on a boat in their lives walking around in boat shoes.

11:30 am

And the polos HAD to have the little alligator on them.

11:30 am

<---remembes m c Hammer

11:30 am

is that after the an 6/7

11:30 am

?

11:31 am

The only an6/7 combo I have is the horny protrusion(s). And if that's not a cue for Ruru, I don't know what else to do.

11:31 am

no, it is the 6/7, fan

11:31 am

judi did any other kind really exist back then judi?

11:32 am

oh what is on the top of a reindeers head bichon

11:32 am

ty Judi

11:32 am

There were off-brand polos. I remember JC Penney tried to jump on the bandwagon. I think there logo was a little fox.

11:33 am

ohh that's right judi but i loved the izod because they had such wonderful colors

11:33 am

I loved Izod too. I just couldn't afford them and my parents refused to buy them for me. I was so retail deprived.

11:34 am

My son's friend still wears the Izod shirts. He has this whole 80's preppy look thing :-)

11:34 am

judi it was the "in" thing they were everywhere hard to avoid

11:34 am

I eventually saved up and bought myself a pair of Levis and a pair of Calvin Klein jeans. You could not have pried them out of my cold, dead hands.

11:35 am

origami as long as he doesn't wear the long shorts or have too many pockets he is fine

11:35 am

Oh, but he does wear the long shorts

11:35 am

lol judi no jordache?

11:36 am

origami ewww

11:36 am

at least he doesn't wear loafers without socks :D

11:36 am

The third an6 ends with the last 4 letters of PLURAL Hawaiian string instrument

11:36 am

Oh no! We called Jordache "Broad Ass" jeans.

11:36 am

walking shorts with patterns on them not exactly the best look

11:36 am

Loafers without socks is the WORST look on men EVER

11:37 am

ty molly

11:37 am

if he starts layering the izod shirts I'll have to give him a smack

11:37 am

Any dress shoe without socks looks ridiculous on guys.

11:37 am

what is up with those kinds of shoes with no socks???

11:37 am

it was creepy

11:37 am

origami please stop him!

11:37 am

same place the man bun came from

11:38 am

I think it was a "walk of shame" look that someone turned into a trend.

11:38 am

halfway

11:38 am

remember Sonny in Miami Vice. No socks!

11:39 am

and what is up with tying a sweater around your neck with sockless shoes and long plaid shorts??

11:39 am

Made it easier to find the cocaine stuffed in his shoe.

11:39 am

you could find that in a diaper

11:41 am

judi your icon looks so weird at a distance it looks ike a big green box or a piece of gum

11:42 am

Thanks, MLF. That's the look I was going for. ;-p

11:42 am

Man buns make me cringe

11:42 am

Hate the man bun--does anyone actually think that looks good?

11:42 am

i know its a t shirt but it looks so bizarre in the chat is all sorry lol

11:43 am

are you going ot change it now lol

11:43 am

mimi probably

11:43 am

Nope. Too lazy to change it.

11:43 am

<---Still trying to figure out how MLF went from Meat Loaf to Raggedy Ann

11:44 am

i will let you ponder molly dear

11:45 am

man bun hell http://tinyurl.com/ojyqdf3

11:45 am

Man bun. Right up there with the dad bod.

11:45 am

Wish Adele hadn't done her hair in that awful beehive style for her concert...made her look much older. Saw that she cut her hair and it really looks good now.

11:46 am

So true, Mimi. Adele needs to leave the beehives to Lady Ga Ga.

11:46 am

i think its kind of a British thing mimi?

11:47 am

I have yet to see any woman who looks good in a beehive

11:47 am

judi she shouldn't wear them either but it look good on her

11:47 am

you have to have the right outfit

11:47 am

Maybe in the sixties ans seventies, Mlf. But not now.

11:47 am

and not the layered look of the 80s lol

11:48 am

zooz very stylish in the 50s and 60s true

11:48 am

Yeah, ML---one with a hood.

11:48 am

that would work

11:48 am

almost game time.....

11:49 am

I wish layered hairstyles would make a comeback. It sure beats the thin, no body, string straight styles being worn today.

11:49 am

The beehive has been around since Marie Antoinette. Although it was a wig. She was once known to incorporate a small bird in a cage into the front of her beehive.

11:49 am

true judi

11:51 am

well.. I wouldn't lose my head over a beehive

11:51 am

Apparently, royalty thought it was fashionable to be shat upon by a tiny bird.

11:51 am

don't some birds bring good luck or something?

11:52 am

Who knows what Marie was thinking.

11:52 am

judi i think it had to do with being royal or just a look fo some kind

11:53 am

I'm sure life was a cake-walk for her :D

11:53 am

There is no accounting for the "fashion" choices of royalty (fascinators)

11:53 am

i gtg NFL Football wooohooooo last regular games of the season

11:53 am

bye all poof

11:53 am

11:55 am

11:55 am

I can't stand Jerrah Jones

12:01 pm

Break time -- going to go eat an avocado. I like to cut them in half, sprinkle with garlic salt and pour a balsamic/honey dressing in the pit area and eat with a spoon...yum.

12:01 pm

that sounds fattening mimi

12:03 pm

I love avocado with crispy bacon bits Yum!

12:03 pm

Nah---avocado is good fat. Not putting the avocado on a sandwich helps as well. Often one avocado is all I eat in a whole day anyhow.

12:03 pm

wow really?

12:03 pm

....I've been depressed.

12:03 pm

avocado and bacon sounds pretty good

12:04 pm

((Mimicat))

12:04 pm

you still have to eat mimi...

12:04 pm

Nope----have lost 56 pounds this year and still losing. No longer need high blood pressure meds.

12:05 pm

oh.. that's great at least

12:05 pm

((zooz))

12:07 pm

If I feel like eating, I do. I let my body tell me. Most of us eat too much anyway. Sometimes I have an avocado and later a bowl of soup or some kind of steamed veggie.

12:07 pm

I agree, Mimi. I only eat when I feel the need. I do not have set times to eat either.

12:08 pm

<---trying to eat less. but gained back a few pounds during the holidays.. now working them off

12:08 pm

*pictures Zooz surrounded by snacks*

12:08 pm

I am lucky though as i can eat anything and not put any weight on.

12:09 pm

It has just been such a terrible year that it has really gotten me down so not hungry much. Once I can get some real diagnosis for my legs issue and a plan to correct it, I'll perk up.

12:09 pm

<---wants Zooz's genetics

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

12:10 pm

I used to be that way, too, zooz---until my late 50s when I suddenly realized God does not like old women and turns gravity totally against us.

12:10 pm

12:13 pm

I'm kind of built like a football player

12:13 pm

I am very skinny though I do admit it. But nothing puts the weight on.and to be honest I am not trying to put weight on either.

12:14 pm

Nothing wrong with that, ruru.

12:14 pm

best not to.. keep where your body is meant to be

12:14 pm

OK---avocado calling. BBL.
