I'm lucky to ever get half-done.

1:07 am

me too Bash

1:08 am

ugh... stuck in a deep and meaningful way. anyone have all the a's? missing one from each a in the 4th column. oh... cooee and g'day from me...

1:08 am

but I do depend on Lickety!

1:08 am

And with that...I must go to bed. Work tomorrow...hope to see you all around this weekend. :) Night!

1:08 am

I think I have finished 3 grids

1:08 am

adam

1:08 am

oops...

1:09 am

sweet sleep, Bash

Pleased meet you, Bash.

1:10 am

Ditto rose

1:11 am

adam

1:11 am

oops

1:11 am

prolly missing the same ones anike. are you and yours safe where you are? saw about the fires south of perth.

1:12 am

so...is Lickety a real person?

1:12 am

We are quite a distance from the fires rose but I feel sad for the people down that way. It's not far from where my dad's family farmed many years ago.

1:14 am

lol... yes kim. he is very real and a lovely person. he does have a lot of community obligations.

1:14 am

yes he is Kimm and sadly missed lately, didn't someone say he has been ill ?

1:15 am

like me with the poor loves down at lorne and wye river. it's heart-breaking seeing all the damage done.

1:15 am

hope he isn't in the fire area rose and anike are speaking about

1:16 am

no flosey. he is in new south wales. i live in voctoria and anike is in western australia.

1:16 am

ugh victoria

1:16 am

How does he get the clues so quickly(when he does)?

1:16 am

ah, thanks Rose

1:17 am

It certainly is rose. As you know rose, we drive across to Vic. often and at this time of year we often seem to be dodging fire zones.. and the fact that so many are started deliberately makes me irate.

1:17 am

kim, he wrote the program which solves the grid as quick as a wink

1:19 am

aha! Okay, I was thinking he had something like that.

1:19 am

whoot have the d's. want me to list?

1:20 am

yes please, Rose

1:20 am

yes please, granny!

1:20 am

LOL!!

1:31 am

not yet love. :-(

1:31 am

hi Dee, very happy to see you

hope he is okay

hi flosey!

our bus garage burned this morning - damage estimate about $1 million. Was reading the articles that have been posted. Also have a friend who is in Emergency Room right now with her hubby, so we have been messaging one another, and I lost track of the time.

1:35 am

I bet it means a lot to her to hear from you as she is waiting

Was "meant to be", I think. As I was reading the bus article, her message about being in ER popped up, so I answered her immediately. She'll look at her watch and think I am crazy. Hope the notes helped... her hubby just had shoulder surgery, and all of a sudden he is now having lightheadedness ...

I know she is frightened / anxious... I hate those ER trips!

1:40 am

No fun having a sick husband. Mine just had 4 heart bypasses.

aww, kimm! How is he doing now?

1:42 am

He is on the mend but men are such bad patients!

So very true!

I am wondering if his shoulder surgery, rehab, and pain meds have done something goofy to his blood pressure.

1:43 am

Not!!

except for ru, and of course he is perfect :)

1:44 am

have the m's. dee you want me to wait a bit?

1:44 am

the month before that my 24 yo son had necrotising fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) in his leg! he damn near dies, he was so sick.

not at all, rose, feel free to list. I'll just keep checking the chog.

So very thankful, he didn't kimm. That is a nasty situation.

1:45 am

It was a freakin nightmare!

So glad his treatment worked for him!

2:41 am

helenary, try emptying your cache then reloading the page.

2:42 am

sorry..what does emptying cache mean?? what is a cache?

2:43 am

cache is the browser's memory. which browser on which operating system are you babbling ?

2:44 am

95 left for tomorrow. can't keep my eyes open. nite all!

2:44 am

g'night kim

2:45 am

i am on Apple/macair..does that make sense? thx dc

2:45 am

yes. using Safari or Firefox or Chrome?

2:45 am

Safari!

2:46 am

ok. then: Click Safari in the upper left hand side of your screen. In the menu that appears, click Preferences. In the window that appears, click the Privacy tab. Click the button Remove All Website Data.... Click Remove Now in the pop up window that appears.

2:47 am

this will clear a lot of website data. You'll need to reenter passwords and what when going to sites most likely.

2:50 am

thank dc ..have followed your instructions..and perfecto..am back on board..thats a first for me!!!

2:50 am

yay! i'm glad i could help.

2:50 am

i use mac also.

2:50 am

and have a deep background in tech support.

2:52 am

wish i had more skills...i will remember to ask you Q's if they come up and you are "around".

2:53 am

i'm annoyed that i'm still awake. I'm 1h ahead of grid time.

2:55 am

but, always happy to help if i can :)

2:59 am

thanks so much

3:05 am

Good morning

3:05 am

Perfect size grid, for a change

3:09 am

morning, ruby. nice to see you here.

3:10 am

hello (seain), it is nice to see you, too (t thhis odd hour for you)

3:11 am

yes, yes it is. Since my recent horrible GI thing, my sleep has been weird.

3:11 am

hello Ruby, I'm off to try to sleep

3:11 am

i think it'll take a while to settle back to normal.

3:11 am

sleep well, flo

3:12 am

ty dc

3:12 am

I'm sorry; I didn't know, even though I "see" you every night.

3:12 am

>I hope you are better now!

3:13 am

hi and bye, flosey

3:13 am

i'm better enough today that i started cleaning and cooking again. :)

3:14 am

cookingis good, cleaning, NOT

3:14 am

sard

3:14 am

sorry, will be quiet now

3:20 am

na like that too, and plural

3:46 am

good morning all

3:47 am

((sprite))

3:47 am

*hugs ruby* good morning! How are you today?

3:49 am

no pain! and only 20 mg of morphine

3:49 am

oh wow, that is wonderful!

3:50 am

yesterday, even with the drugs, I had pain (not severe, but still...); all day

3:50 am

then today is a huge improvement

3:52 am

itmay have something to do with the weather because yesterday, it rained all day

3:53 am

makes sense. Rain sucks for me too.

3:53 am

today, it's less cold, just grey and damp

3:53 am

it is sunny here, cold with blue sky. My kind of winter weather.

3:54 am

I imagine that your weather is similar to ours

3:54 am

usually it is, but not today

3:54 am

no, I guess not, haven't seen sun in a while

3:55 am

stirs

3:55 am

whoops, sorry

3:55 am

yesterday was rain all day. It is the netherlands, you know... if you don't like the weather, just wait a couple of minutes, it will change.

3:57 am

at least it hasn't been very cold, except in the house, but once the fire is going, it's liveable

3:58 am

tain

3:58 am

with my quick weightloss, I get easily cold. Am wearing layers on layers on layers, lol.

3:59 am

I just can't chat; I'll blame it on the stupid-making dr_ugs

4:00 am

yeah, that, and the layout of this site. I have told drG from the very start. The cursor should jump back to the Add Word box after entering a chat post.

4:01 am

you are kind, but I feel like a dope when I do that

4:01 am

or even better, it should be as the Babble Expert that Lickety made. Automatic programming... add a single word and it goes to the list, write more words (use the spacebar) and it goes to the chat box

4:01 am

well, you are, lolollllll. Doped up on morphine!

4:01 am

I still don't list, ergo, I don't finish, either

4:02 am

I usually don't list, and I do finish :P

4:02 am

but it's a pleasure, just seeing friends

4:03 am

you're a better man than I, gunga din! LOL

4:03 am

*giggles*

4:03 am

must go and try to accomplish something

4:03 am

see you later

4:04 am

have a lovely day, ruby. Don't overdo stuff while not hurting.

4:05 am

Phantom : ramadan.

4:06 am

right you are, padawan :D *hugs zooz* How are you today?

4:06 am

lol Hello, Sprite. All well here..you?

4:07 am

am fine. Could use some more undisturbed sleep, but that will come in time.

4:08 am

I was up til 4am the other night so now how you feel :-(

4:08 am

Plus I had acid reflux which did not help.

4:08 am

ugh that is really nasty. I hope things are better now.

4:08 am

Hope you get to sleep better when night comes round again though.

4:09 am

Yeah I took an omeprazole last night so that helped a bit.

4:10 am

yeah me too. The sleeping goes ok, but it's the dreaming at the moment. Curtesy of a friend with issues and the fireworks of NY. It will pass.

4:10 am

ah, I have almost the same stuff, pantaprazole or something like that. It is for protection of the stomach.

4:11 am

Yeah it is horrible how just a little thing can play on our minds for days. Well it does for me.

4:11 am

I am better with the little things nowadays. Took long years of therapy, but I got most of it sorted. The bigger things though... they still hit hard.

4:12 am

Not sure what these tablets do. I think they disolve in the stomach then the contents does not get effected by the acid and kind of float to the top and stop the acid from escaping. Does that make any sense?

4:13 am

could be. I know it is prescribed here when you take medication that is bad for the stomach. It is supposed to protect the stomach.

4:14 am

Yeah not for me. If someone puts me down I seem fine at the time and brush it off. it is when I go to sleep that my mind then starts to replay the scene and then over dramatizes everything!

4:15 am

I tend to over think things that is my problem.

4:15 am

oh I know how that works! Used to be the same for me. It can take on a life of its own that way.

4:16 am

This grid seems a lot kinder than yesterdays grid. i struggled so so much with yesterdays one lol

4:17 am

it was kind of tight, yes

4:24 am

Congrats for when you fiish, Spritey, I need to go for now.

4:24 am

Fisih even.

4:24 am

have a lovely day, zooz *hugs*

4:24 am

Finish..geez.

4:24 am

You too *hugs* back.

4:24 am

*grins* I knew what you meant, no worries

4:29 am

fireflies. Bye all.

5:35 am

zooz I didn't like yesterday's grid either

5:41 am

Good morning all.

5:41 am

good morning sukee

5:42 am

I see George Michael's band is in the grid :)

5:42 am

I saw that too

5:43 am

5:43 am

Of course.

5:43 am

Hi all

5:43 am

hi liz

5:43 am

Hi Liz

5:44 am

5:44 am

I don't like this grid :(

5:44 am

Not yet.

5:45 am

not too fond of it either though it kind of seems better then yesterday's

5:45 am

Nor me and I only have 58 words left!

5:46 am

i have not been here that long so i have 140 left

5:46 am

I was here for a while this afternoon and just came back to try to get a few more before bed.

5:47 am

hello

5:47 am

Very happy to see Lickety here now.

5:47 am

woo hoo, blocked out my first square :)

5:47 am

Hi Ruby. How are you today?

5:47 am

congrats sukee

5:47 am

hi ruby

5:47 am

Hi Ruby

5:47 am

freezing and my housekeeper is driving me insane

5:47 am

WTG Sukee

5:47 am

Not good.

5:48 am

The one good thing is that she always up, even on her days off, to light the fire and walk the dogs

5:48 am

You don't need the irritation, Ruby.

5:49 am

Can you just immerse yourself in the computer, or pretend to sleep or read or something when she's getting to you?

5:49 am

However, she does a bare minimum of cleaning, is always on her cell phone and today, mopped the floors with somethding stinky

5:49 am

good to have a fire when cold:)

5:49 am

I wanted rasta to be there.

5:49 am

sukee i always try that word

5:49 am

Sounds like my cleaning woman who visits once a month.

5:49 am

>I tried rasta, too

5:50 am

And if you tell here that's not acceptable ...?

5:50 am

Me too. Also tried rasta - several times in fact.

5:50 am

A fire is a necessity here since there's no other heat

5:50 am

i tried tata didn't work either

5:50 am

no other heat ruby?

5:51 am

No, it didn't.

5:51 am

I don't waant to criticize her because I really need her now

5:51 am

I thought you might say that but if she's not doing what she's paid to do.

5:51 am

i greyed the w:)

5:52 am

good for you

5:52 am

no, there was heating i the floor (electric) when we moved in, but then there was a short and it stopped working and since the floor is tile, there's no way to fix it

5:52 am

the only thing grey is my hair! LOL

5:53 am

:)

5:53 am

ruby that is terrible no other heat:(

5:53 am

Still only have one tile greyed out

5:53 am

i have 2 greyed out but the other only had one word lol

5:54 am

my bathroom has heat, so at least I can bathe. And the cool bedroom is good for sleeping

5:54 am

That's pretty hard for you - your winters are cold there.

5:54 am

i am sitting here with a jacket on

5:55 am

My apartment gets cold too, my bathroom is like an ice box.

5:55 am

Keeping silent here.

5:55 am

sukee our bathroom isn't very warm either

5:55 am

I don't mind it too much most days, but today is very windy and it makes the house even colder.

5:55 am

Spring is coming...

5:56 am

ruby be careful not to get sick

5:56 am

Is that a promise, sukee?

5:56 am

It is, I am counting the days until baseball season.

That does not sound appealing - except for the wine.

6:00 am

and they are not sick?

6:00 am

I rinse off the meat

6:01 am

i love the flavor of cooking wine on meat but it seems so old school

6:01 am

If it tastes nice, that shouldn't matter, mlf.

6:01 am

6:29 am

No need to have pain, if meds are available.

6:29 am

Nice setting.

Really beautiful - we back onto a park - so great view but we don't have to cut the grass.

6:08 pm

It sounds ideal.

Any whale watching lately?

We also feed the birds, so while I drank my coffee, my hubby was photographing the birds flying in to fee.

Hi folks ... back to try to finish

7:33 pm

*marks board for ori's entry*

7:35 pm

We must know who is here, whether or not they are finished and how many words they have left. Don't slack on that board.

7:36 pm

Well, who knew saying hi would ruffle feathers.

7:38 pm

Um, Ru's mark the board thing is just a joke.

7:40 pm

no ruffled feathers here.. just trying to crack a joke

7:40 pm

evening all

7:41 pm

The sense of humor quotient seems to be at the usual negative ten.

7:41 pm

I figured your response was a joke ru

7:42 pm

No ma'am, we here at Babble HQ have no sense of humor that we are aware of.

7:42 pm

Oh, so it was just my comment that was called into question. Right.

7:43 pm

It just seemed snarky Molly. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

7:44 pm

I really don't get it. I follow along after something Ru said and my comment is snarky and his comment is fine. But I should get it because that is par for the course here.

7:46 pm

Maybe I am sensitive today. It is the anniversary of my son's death and I am not having a very good day.

7:47 pm

sorry to hear that, origami :(

7:47 pm

(((origami)))

7:48 pm

Yeah, I get that. I have bad days on the anniversary of my husband's death, and my father's death and my mother's death as well.

7:49 pm

I know ... my husband, mother, father and siblings are all gone.

7:50 pm

Thanks stidmama and jes.

7:55 pm

sorry ori.. Molly and I like to riff off each others jokes

7:56 pm

it's better than being ignored isn't it?

7:58 pm

Well, I guess :-) I am hoping some happy babbling will help.

7:58 pm

good.. let me know if you need help.. I finally finished this sucker

7:59 pm

Congrats!

8:02 pm

It's always good to do nice things for yourself on anniversaries like this. Lots of TLC.

8:02 pm

8:06 pm

*surreptitiously offers meliae bananas for monkeying*

8:06 pm

8:07 pm

8:08 pm

Ok fine clue me too many st beginning combinations

8:08 pm

8:09 pm

Ok looking again

8:09 pm

please see below

8:10 pm

I'm taking myself out to dinner tonight :D

8:10 pm

yeah, sorry, sa

8:10 pm

I always get my T's and A's mixed up too :D

8:11 pm

I doubt that ru :D

8:11 pm

well.. when you do things by feel...

8:12 pm

It would be easier if they threw a few more S's and A combos into the grid

8:12 pm

Ok clue me

8:12 pm

not a Christian sa 8

8:13 pm

Probably some archaic latin scientific word

8:13 pm

nope.. a devil worshipper

8:13 pm

thanks, rur

8:13 pm

ruru

8:14 pm

but not Donald trump

8:14 pm

Ooo I know that word now to spell it lol

8:14 pm

it's amazing how the latins get blamed for a lot of stuff around here :D

8:15 pm

Trump's not an sa7, Ruru. He is an automonotheist - he believes he is the one true god.

8:16 pm

he may very well be the biggest narcissist on the planet

8:17 pm

I can't imagine he actually believes someone else would be better enough to be worth worship.

8:20 pm

Finally nbs nbt

8:20 pm

yay meliae!

8:20 pm

This grid is onery

8:21 pm

It is a pesky one

72 to go about to throw in the towel. Brb snack time

9:05 pm

Evening Babblers and sweet dreams to some.

9:06 pm

Cute pig, Christa :D

9:07 pm

I have had the same babble icon for 10 years. Feeling this is the year of getting out of the box. The artist is Peter Max. Happy New Year Babblers

9:08 pm

I had a cat named Peter Max. I loved his art and his name was fun.

9:09 pm

good grief how can there still be 80 more words in this thing?

9:16 pm

My older sister was a huge Peter Max fan. I still have an ashtray of his design she gave me. It is roughly the size of a turkey platter :-)

9:18 pm

I especially loved the way he drew cats. An ashtray the size of a turkey platter appeals to me too in an odd way. I hope nobody let it fill up.

9:21 pm

Just uploaded the design as my icon :D

9:23 pm

Is that the design on the ashtray? I would hang it on a wall it is so neat.

9:24 pm

She also gave me a hanging ashtray. Oh, the sixties 60's :-)

9:24 pm

a wonderful time, full of promise and hope

9:24 pm

Yep bugs, that was the design :-)

9:25 pm

It is gorgeous.

9:26 pm

I agree bugs. People were engaged and that decade actually effected such change.

9:55 pm

HAAR

9:57 pm

Nice ... Origami

9:59 pm

:D Christa

10:03 pm

hmm, where did that HAAR come from???? Sorry about that, folks! Totally unintentional :)

10:12 pm

I didn't have that so thanks

10:25 pm

Ralph Kramden, I think ..

10:26 pm

"Haar haar haardee haar haar!"
