sweet dreams ruru. {{ dee }}
brb need some water
back
how are you dee?
Had a good week; tired today though, and it was brrr cold today. How about you?
doing okay. have gone back to taking regular painkillers.*sigh*
Sometimes, it is necessary to do that. Which ones are helping you now?
ibuprofen with magnesium tablets
not very heavy duty, so really not bad for you to take
i know. but i really didn't want to take them again. i was becoming very weepy due to lack of sleep and not being able to walk at all.
You know better than to wait too long to take them, when they are needed!!!
i think i got past the point and because i couldn't concentrate or focus on anything i just couldn't think okay i need regular pain meds.
after my overnight infusion of ketamine i started to sleep and think again.
Fibro fog... makes sense
thanx for understanding dee.
Great it works! My friend who was just diagnosed with RA in the last couple of months is still really struggling. This week they upped the methotrexate again, and if there is no improvement, they will discuss biologics. I hate to see her hurting, just as I hate to hear about your pain :( Boo on pain!!
*giggle* i hear your boo and raise a snarl.
She has been exceptionally healthy all of her life; so healthy that she donated one of her kidneys to her brother in the 1980's or 1990's. This is a big huge change in her life.
it's so hard to accept th4 your body is betraying you.she will be going through a form of grief.
Exactly!! You get it!
Take care of yourself, (((rose)). I need to get going now.
can i brag about my little grandson? the one who isn't 3 yet? he can draw a perfect circle, free-hand.
NO way!!! WOW!!!
oh okay dee. you take care too honey. sweet dreams.xoxox
How did he learn to do that?
wow rose, that's a pretty clever little fella
i am guessing his mum or dad showed him. and you should hear him chattering.
just back, took a bit of time out to chat with hubby!
How very precious!
his mum gave him a plate of chips last night and as clear as a bell he said, thank-you mummy
I love that age.
Babies and toddlers are so much more advanced these days.
he is so cute, and the image of his daddy.
hey flosey dear
to see the little ones finding their way around computers is quite amazing!
They get smarter than we are at computers waaay too fast.
Now I am off for real. Hugs to all!
goodnight Dee, sweet sleep

Google "Night Quarter Markets Helensvale" rose. Went with friends and had a lovely evening.
Hi nan
Rose - just sent you a pic!
oh yum!!! drooling here

There was a great vibe - music etc. Very very crowded though. Will go back after Australia Day, when most tourists have left to see if it's any different.
Yes!

We're fine - just took stepson to the airport - he's been here since Tuesday. Had a lovely time with him here.
am glad it was a nice stay :)
I was wondering when he was heading back
Should've just about landed, Ro.

Don't have it yet, Marc
hi sprite
Silly question, huh, if you know P!

Definitely a place to visit, Ro - only open Fri and Sat night.
*gives rose an extra hug*
Ah good!
More hugs for Rose
not much of a sleep in tomorrow either. magnesium infusion day in the AM, x-rays and ultrasounds in the PM.
But you'll feel great after, so that's a bonus.
that is a pretty intense day, rose
at least i can have all the x-rays etc on the same day so only one trip to there.
Makes life a bit easier.
true, dat. Will be lovely to be home after and still have the buzz of the mag infusion
Time for dinner - hugs to all

Not seeing those 8ss...
Think of Queen, We Are The...
Thanks Molly -that did it!
Every time it appears in the grid, I try tharn. Which is a word in Watership Down but sadly, not in Enable.
I saw some Lord Of The Rings fans saying they always try ents.
please can i have a clue for the vo5/16
It's a French word when you say your are done with something...like ta da
Or maybe it's more like presto
Or an anagram of a stringed instrument
Apparently the literal translation is "look there". I think we dim Americans misuse that word quite a bit
sorry, i have the vo5/16 it is the vo5/18 and the vo6 i need a clue for please
Puke, Jenny.
sent
sent
thanks matty, didn't notice the m
Anytime you see more points than usual (30 is more points than usual for a 6-letter word) it's a good hint that the word involves a high point letter
Great clue for the ra 8, Molly. Thanks.
And the other 8 too, as it turns out.
Any time I see that ending, Queen starts playing on my mental jukebox : D
Now that you've said, that, I think that I'll be doing the same thing.
Good morning all
Hi Sukee
Back tomorrow to finish. Good night.
Have a good day.
It often reminds me of the circle of life that we live in when the Australians are going to bed as we are getting up : D
* refrains from getting up comments*
Ooo, the mental jukebox just flipped to James Brown
could someone give me the tiny url for Babble Expert, pls
It's in your profile Bich

*Wishes Ru had been around for "good boy cookie time"
bad boy cookie for me
Is he cute enough to get one?
I think we all hope we are cute enough to "get one" : P
Typical day in my life: Finished getting fridge cleaned up and made a clear path for the new one around 8:15. Realized I have no milk or cream and really nothing for breakfast. Toyed with the idea of "running out" to get a few quick items. Decided against it, as that would be a sure voodoo way to get them to show up while I was out. Didn't go. They aren't here. Could have gone to the store three times by now. :(
Oh, that sounds so familiar.
good morning /afternoon ..thank you all for your kind words about my mom
((ivesy))
how does this morning find you?
not too bad..we are coping as best we can. mom was in nursing home for past year. dementia progressed very rapidly..
I'm so sorry
good morning CAR, and the rest of you dear ones
Hello
Are you, by any chance, venturing out this morning?
not as yet....sorry sears is being fecal
i can't even bake muffins as I have no milk :(
text me a list of what you need, and I will deliver :)
I was awakened by my husband so he could show me the snow coming down. he doesn't know when it started but it is sticking a little
Dylan is taunting the parrot in the other room "BAWK! I'm annoying!"
Oooh! I hope it is just enough to be pretty and not enough to be bothersome, MLF
Just milk and half & half...and a muffin for the queen.
car so far it seems like it
do you want a coffee?
That I have!
I said to my husband we should enjoy it while we can as it doesn't snow inthis area of nc that often
YOU are my hero today!!!!

Ah, Top Gun. Back in the days when I actually liked Tom Cruise.
I know...right?
molly you and me both. when he met Katie Holmes it was all downhill from there
am 5/12, pls, don't have the 4/5

got the la 8!
i don't have any 7's ro the 8s
I'm trying to imagine Bon Jovi outside of Car's house, screaming and throwing his underwear. It's just not happening. : D
good morning
There isn't an ro8 - there is an ra8 which is very similar to the la8
good morning, Harry
Oh he does it all the time. Damn embarassing for him, really.
Ha! It is! tyvm
this is an odd conversation I've stumbled upon
lol hi harry
Can anyone help with the ro7 and the se7, please?
i don't have either matty
looking....
I have no 7s or 8s :)

ro7 ends in Mr Gore
I do however have nbt !

Hey...the delivery men are on their way. Do I tip them?

Yay! Congrats!

OK...so do I tip the delivery men?
made it halfway, but still no 8's. Don't know Queens songs so that clue didn't help...or can't remember their songs
la 4/6 + io 4/4; then change the first letter to the R
phae when someone wins a tournament or game they are ch*******
just put the stick letter in front of the word
ty mlf...now that song can stop running in my head
lol
Ahhh...muffins and fresh cream for coffee thanks to Trif!!!
yw
sorry car...what are they delivering?
ir 6/18?
refrigerator
ty mlf...now have an 8.
car what kind of muffins?
Same as the ir 6/21 before it, but change the consonant at the end.
yw phae
I wouldn't...that's what they get paid for, unless they do something more than what the delivery entails
oh duhh ty car
They have to bring it up some stairs. :(
do they know that?
A refrigerator up some stairs? Tip them.
That's what I figured. Yes, because this is an old farmhouse, the easiset doorway is NOT wide enough. They will have to come up the porch stairs in the back and then through the sliding door in the living room.
Nothing easy in this house...ever.
I assume you are paying a delivery fee, so you don't need to tip them more than five or ten bucks.
They are here...wish me luck.
Let the new fridge sit for a few minutes before plugging it in. The Freon gets all frothed up during the move.
hi cross
Howdy, mlf
hi cross
hey guys thanks for all the 7s and 8s. was in another window, writing students' comments
We used to rentcottages up here in Wasaga Beach and on any long weekend we could count on moving at least a few dozen fridges as the citiots destroy them :)
And we are all set! Yeah!
Wow...that must have been tough, Crossy. They had those great st5/12s they use now. They just pick it up like it weighs nothing.
Hello Crossy, I always look for you but rarely join in the chat as I seem unable to do both chat and solve. I kept a copy of your brilliant Bacon Song, which has become an anthem for some members of my family. They possibly eat more bacon than you. Cheers! got to return to babbling now...
I love it, patxx!

i must admit, it was VERY encouraging!
I used to love getti g those marks
Kids around me giving me the evil eye
I am trying to take it in stride - have another paper, online discussion prompts, and a ten minute presentation this week....
hi, all. a lot of my activities of late seem to end up as posts for my blog. First, I do them, then I write about them. My husband and I spent much of yesterday afternoon and early evening in the kitchen, cooking for our freezers.
hi angel -well done you! I often think of doing that, but it never seems to happen. how long do you have dinners for, do you think?
approximately three months, if we calculated correctly, Trifoso. and much of the food was bought on sale.
that is so cool! what a savings!
i am thinking the mental relief must be huge too - rarely having to agonize over what's for dinner, or being at a loss if unexpected guests drop by....
not tomention saving time when schedules are crazy during the week, as they often are.
you have my fullest respect
http:// lovingfrugalliving.com has the details.
have bookmarked
I will check out your site later today, Angel
hi all
It is funny, trif; I do T.A duties now, and when the kids get a nice, juicy essay assignment, I Often wish I could take part in it. Miss it sometimes asstrange as it sounds
doesnt sound strange at all to me. I LOVE education
I love the research
Asstrange...I can think of several uses for that word : D
help with the 8's pls
I have one 7 the ad7/36
i have that one also peri! thank you, dr. house
and then i have another 7: How silently, how silently, The wondrous Gift is giv'n! So God im7 to human hearts The blessings of His heaven.

we ended up with: 30 beef and cheese enchiladas; four full size meat loaves, gumbo, baked chicken, barbecued chicken, beef ribs, rib eye roast, mashed potatoes, a dozen hamburger patties, a whole chicken for roasting, several packets of cut up chicken pieces (uncooked, for later use, packets of fish sticks and smaller packets of frozen vegetables made from large bags, six portions of tenderized chuck steaks from threee steaks purchased. The kitchen was clean when we began, and it was clean when we finished.
Good morning, crew!
hi judi
wowA! that was quite an undertaking Angel.
but well worth it
peri. the word ends in we are the cha******
don't get the clue mlf
when you win a game our a tournament you are the cha*****
it was actually not too difficult and was enjoyable. We work well together, and it was a good way to spend time together talking and laughing as we worked.
ah, tyty mlf
yw peri
os 5?
well angel you could say you did the whole enchilada
it is great that you have space to freeze all that stuff. I only have what my small freezer will hold
hey ruru
but I am able to make soup and freeze for several days
bbl
we did, ruru, we did!
That is A LOT of food to freeze
*buys stock in Reynolds wrap*
if freezer space is limited, you could prpare food for several days ahead, or a week ahead. We have enough for three months or so.
en7 hold under a spell, with a single consonant at the end instead of the usual double
I'm not a big fan of frozen mashed potatoes. And I only keep prepared food in the freezer for a month. After that it loses it's taste.
not to mention zip lock bags and containers, plastic wrap, waxed paper......lol
my husband was complaining that the kringle was still in the gridge. my thought was why didn't he freeze it but apparently he didn't want to keep it for too long
The best way to freeze food is in those vacu-seal bags. It gets all the air out and it really improves the taste of what you freeze.
what's Kringle?
the mashed potato recipe I used is meant to ne made ahead and frozen, and I usually make it for holidays.
ar 6/18, pls
ruru a kringle is a dessert
and it virtually eliminates freezer burn risk, Molly.
Danish pastry
Ru, look at oh danish bakery dot com
www.ohdanishbakery.com/Kringl
we make those mashed potatoes for holidays also,, love them
mi6/21 please?
<------loves mashed potatoes
I have a habit of adding some bacon to many recipes and it always improves the taste. Grated cheese and already fried bacon make a brilliant extra topping for shepherds pie etc for grandchildren. It disguises the pies and they don't realise they are eating food they normally pull faces at. Similar way to make them try spinach, sprouts and cauliflower. I gather your maple syrup bacon is truly delicious.
I love mashed potatoes too!
mi 6 I have une is related to the heart Mi 6
great! tx!
I'm off of potatoes.. have to keep dropping pounds
ruru can you clue that please?
I do love them though
I just did mlf.. it's a valve in the heart
I forgot to label my message for Crossy re bacon. Soz but I also much love mashed potatoes.
oh.. I've seen kringle before.. do they call it something else?
no that I know of ruru
that thing we did to get la7/8, you can also do to get ra7/8
ty ruru
not sorry
we are the la8 we are the la8 ...
Good morning folks

Speak for yourself. *cape flaps in the wind*
And there is the snow. I have to be glad it is our first of the season and it's only supposed to be "ornamental" snow.

able to leap three enchiladas in a single bound
<<<<< Chooses to use powers only for good.
well I could eat three enchiladas in a single sitting.. do i get credit for that? .... no, i thought not
AR 6/18 A + a thorny flower but add a 3rd vowel for the 3rd letter.
there is a great Mexican restaurant I found in Sonoma Doren
Saving mi6's from the scourage of bacon.
in Boyes hot springs
The second AR 6/18 is the same just change last letter.
could we not talk about snow, please? We've had about 3x normal already .... blaming el nino
okay. one more reason to travel to Sonoma.
my cruise to greek islands/Istanbul is likely off.
zooz, I tried arisen, but it didn't take it
one more GOOD reason to travel to sonoma
yeah.. I'd say Istanbul is a little dicey right now
jack london park would be another
Well, there was no N in Zoom's clue
they switched the istanbul part to more greece. that is still a nice cruise, but Istanbul was the main attraction for me.

Rachel is going next week. She'd lose $600 by cancelling. not thrilled, but you know plucky rachel. she'll make the best of it. I, on the other hand, will try very hard to live in denial
That would certainly put a damper on dinner.
I wouldn't travel in the middle east or turkey or Afghanistan for anything
I would go to Israel and Jordan
not a bad thing, dorens --- I wouldn't have minded spending more time in Greece. Just make sure you have zippered pockets sewn into all your clothing and don't take any valuable jewelry with you.
Ditto that, Ru. We're not known as Americans over there. We're "targets".
me either ruru
<---likes his head on his shoulders
at 5/10, the last one, pls
My son is going to partake in a conference there.. daugher meeting him . he's cut his trip short to the essentials, and moved the hotel from the main tourist areas. I will be a bit of a nervous wrekc while they're gone
I think I'm going to have to list
I wouldn't really feel as safe in Israel as I used to, but I'd feel safe in Jordan
can I get a reclue on that ar 6/18 bichon asked for please?
AT + **ce (grain) + vowel.
bichon at and ends in a vowel is the one I have

I think it is coming out later this year mlf

Hi5: starts out like outrageously funny.
that is what I was thinking
thanks judi
hint towards the second ra 6?
110 left. Gotta wash my flowing locks and get some household drudgery done.
Goat + most of where the shop puts the money you give them.
guesses judi's servants have the day off
Indeed. Lazy sods.
thank you zooz
Haha
Or gat + ceramic squares on a bathroom wall.
And the cat mocks me by batting about my crumpled up (losing) lottery ticket.
Welcome.
wow.. I couldn't believe all the people at the grocery store buying lottery tickets
I have to do actual work for money work today and tomorrow, blech. Will be in and out.
That sweet couple in Tennessee that won. I think they're nuts for revealing their identities. Maybe Tennessee requires it. I'd be hiding under a palm tree in an unpronouncable country if I won.
I don't gamble... so I don't get it
zooz gat?
GASP. Hot flash. Must be all the talk about money.
Goat, Milf.
Here they not only identify you, but nine times ot of ten, you end up in the paper smiling and holding a giant nivelty cheque. Additinally, they add the name of the town you luve in... :(
Novelty
ty
I think the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math
Live.. hell, I am sue you can figure the typos out
In that case, I'd be wearing a disguise and would be surrounded by very good looking body guards.
LOL judi
the thongs would give them away though
Thongs would be covered by Batman body armor. Duh.
Would love to see Judi own a Hawaiian island
You CAN set up a private trust and have a lawyer claim the money on your behalf., that way your name can be withheld-- for a bit
os5?
Ha! You! I'd be amazed if I owned a Hawaiian island. Y'all would be invited for a Babble convention of course.
os + Spanish for aunt
ty origami
YW
Imagines judi giving out leis :D
No, silly. The servants would do that.
Yours would be made of coconuts, Ru.
I'd be shell-shocked
Mai tais on the lanai for everyone!
*note to self.. bring plenty of limes to Hawaii*
*Wonders if Ru would get leied in Hawaii
Will the body guards mutate into cabana boys?
Naturally.
Hawaii is sounding pretty good
mai tais, leis and cabana boys on the lanai ... packing my bags now.
*wishes judi were as rich as larry ellison
Larry Ellison would wish he was a rich as me.
were as rich. Hope Scrabs didn't see that.
um judi..he's richer than the powerball lottery
Yes. I know.
wow.. I lost words from last night.. no wonder I'm confused
Off to boot camp. 70 left. *POOF*
someone called an ad 7 or maybe an 8 last night? -- could I have a clue please?
ad 7 a tumor I think
ty ruru
The boot camp craze is really cracking me up
Fitness types can get weird :D
cyber did you find it?
I'm more of a slipper camp type myself
ruru can you expand on that ad 7 please?
it's a tumor mlf
usually on a gland
<---can't discuss the camp he'd like :D
People used to boast their exercise prowess by saying they were going to the gym. "Gym" is no longer good enough. Now they are going to "boot camp"
got it
good mlf
gyms are full of disease etc
ty ruru and google too
I tried working out at the club and got two colds
people go there sick.. and infect others
I would much rather work out at home than in a gym full of sweaty strangers
I'd rather sweat other places too :D
Those same people go to work sick and infect others. My office is full of them.
people don't realize that you can use different objects in your own home to help you exercise
There is a lot to be said for that kind of workout, Ru : D
I don't understand why people spend thousands of dollars to go somewhere and beat themselves up while they starve to death --- give ma a cruise ship any day
I was just going to say that molly. People have been coming into my office, pulling up a chair and coughing all over me all winter long.
my kind of calorie loss
Nan, the same people who spend all that money generally don't lose much weight. Hence my amusement.
actually the fastest way to lose weight is by getting sick if you think about it?
pass
I hate being sick
who likes being sick ruru?
the good thing is that I rarely get sick.
I haven't had a cold or the flu in many many years
ruru I don't get sick that much either
You have the luxury of owning your own company Ru. Ergo, you make the rules about whether or not you work with sick people.
Most business owners give limited sick leave and make disparaging remarks about people who call in sick.
First ra 6/21?
taking a break for breakfast - bbl
actually I'm out in the field a lot molly and see lots of people .. I just wash my hands a lot
but I generally don't have people coughing all over me though.. that's true
Oh, that is true. I forgot about your exposure to the rest of the world.

There are many females here who could be considered Miss Helpful. Only the judges know for sure who will get the crown. : P
yeah..well.. all the judges are ok.. except the Russian judge that screws things up
Ha! zoozzoom or zoomzoom is what i wanted it. was supposed to be for my zoom lens camera noise :-)
*Prepares for the coronation
damn.. there goes that vision of zooz zipping around the Isle of Wight with a sporty mazda
hopefully steve Harvey isn't going to do the announcing

Hi stid
I only know the older bands Molly. Still stuck in the 60's and the good parts of the 70's. I would not get a more modern clue.
There are a lot of elders here who are not familiar with the music of that era.

Australia doesn't have dryers?
we prefer the outdoors - smells better and a hell of a lot cheaper
too dusty here for that I think
I think it is also that we have far more natural fabrics - cotton, wool, linen, silk etc - and most of those aren't good thrown in a dryer. Synthetic or synthetic blends are put in dryer by me but everything else on the line

hi all
howdy jmc
hmmm this looks doable. . . ;)
been working on it off and on most of the day while doing other things ... doubt I'll finish with 81 left :-)
255 left . . . :D
i had some work to do and then had to repair the repair on my son's jacket. . . .
he didn't like the job i did last week
ah well. He could've done it himself or paid a tailor.
haha I am the family tailor. . .
hi dc
hello, jmc :)
actually the first time it tore i told him to take to a tailor because i thought it was too hard for me but the tailor actually screwed it up so that was part of what i was repairing the first time. . . i got it right this time! :)
did you keep him in stitches about it?
my position as mama is all sewn up. . .
hi ru
well done, jmc!
evening, ru :)
are the V words fish?
why yes. . . yes they are. . .
nbt
probably things are as they inseam
i was just glad it didn't tear us apart. . .
i need to repair the cuff on a sweater i have had for decades. The seam finally gave.
i love that sweater.
it's kind of hard to follow this thread to be honest
voip is most certainly a word. Haven't they ever heard of voice over internet protocol?
The V was shockingly easy today.
yeah i just paid a bunch to repair a pair of shoes that i really like. . .
netop, sysop, so voip, yeah.
not that up to date douglas. . . .
shoe repair is so worth it.
yeah but the repair cost more than the original cost of the shoes!!!
but finding shoes that are comfortable are so valuable. . . .
shoe repairs are expensive.. sometimes I think the owners have no sole
the price was really a kick in the head ru. . .
but i wanted the shoes to last. . .
my shoes cost $180 to redo them
per pair
but they end up looking pretty much like new
ACK!
i was upset at the total of $90 for two pairs. . .
they go back to England to be redone
i've paid up to 180 to repair shoes i originally spent 300 on.
jeeze you guys pay a lot for shoes. . .
you get what you pay for in shoes.
men's shoes are pricey
DSW
at least good ones are
for dress shoes, if it's less than 200, i'm suspicious.
dsw?
it is a show store where there are good prices for good shows. . .
I am with you on that one DC
Designer Shoe Warehouse
oh
I buy mine at one place
I have weird feet :D
DSW rarely has one sthat fit me, and if they do, they rarely last.
match the rest of you then. . .
sorta :D
there is a japanese horror movie character in the grid. . .
