Missing an 8 for nbt nbs just not seeing either tr 8 (plurals I am assuming) from the chog.

1:29 am

both are extensions of the verb formed from a vehicle that runs on tracks

tr 5, 7, 8, 7, 8 root is the choo choo.... then people who are being instructed, plural, one who helps people strengthen in exercise (sometimes a personal one), plural

now I am off :)

Are you working this weekend or having some "me" time?

1:44 am

lots of me time, I hope. No work planned. Just the normal domestic tasks.

1:44 am

I have mad methods to babbling, first I start in upper left corner and go tile by tile, I do my best to get at least one word per tile, then check for all stats.

We have about 35cm of snow, and it's coming down heavy, and supposed to for the next roughly 18 hours. Gusty winds. It's a fluffy, wet snow. I live near Washington, DC.

1:44 am

hey, yall! Hi, liz , mel, sprite

1:44 am

Yuck, DC. That sounds horrible.

1:45 am

lol, whatever brings you the most fun, mel :)

1:45 am

hi seain

1:45 am

it was almost knee-deep when i went for a short walk about 10PM local time (9 PM Grid Time)

1:45 am

i try for NBT first, too Mel. NBS if i can.

1:46 am

Next I count how many 0/0 tiles and subtract that amount from 25, divide that number by 2. Which tonight is an odd number so I round up. I cannot list until I have that many grey tiles lol if I dont get them I cannot list.

1:46 am

blizzard and white-out conditions, Liz -- it's an adventure like we had in 2010.

1:47 am

nice, mel :)

1:47 am

Wow Dc craziness

1:47 am

wow mel! Disciplined! I am always all over the board. Only when I get totally stuck, I try and go tile by tile.

1:48 am

{{hugs}} and good morning my dearest sprite.

1:48 am

weirdly, our subway and buses all shut down for Saturday and Sunday. All three airports are currently closed, too.

1:48 am

Humidity here and thunder rumbling! No rain though. Storms often split around where we live. We could do with rain.

1:48 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, a very good evening to you. How was your day?

1:48 am

cooee seain, mel, lizgirl

1:49 am

Well I was getting lazy and just listing which takes the fun out of finding words so I started making it harder and harder over the years lol

1:49 am

Hugs, Rose

1:49 am

g'day, rose, nice to see you.

1:49 am

I hardly ever list. Guess that is hard enough for me, lol.

1:50 am

not too bad. have been and looked at a different for my family christmas celebration. showered, dressed. three loads of washing. now sitting quietly waiting for your arrival... lolll

1:50 am

Hello Rose ((hugs))

1:50 am

i list at halfway or less than 50, depending on how badly i decide i want to finish a grid.

1:51 am

*grins* I feel honored. Do you try a different location every year or didn't the last one work out?

1:51 am

i list once i have been through the grid ti4 by ti4. i try to find at least 50% from each ti4.

1:51 am

If its a big one I cheat and list sometimes just to finish, but my goal is just to find as many as I can without it.

1:51 am

phantom luthier

1:51 am

last one was again to windy.

1:52 am

there

1:52 am

I list when I'm totally stuck and over half way.

1:52 am

oops

1:52 am

yeah that is when I list too. With huge grids for the last few. When you feel like you have tried everything possible at least twice :)

1:52 am

LOL - with 58 left, I didn't have that :) Thanks.

1:53 am

i am pleased to say i am usually within 30-40 with big grids, and about 5 with the itty bitty on4.

1:53 am

Ho 7 was a monkey and I guess I was shocked it took lol

1:53 am

under 200 i usually get to about 20 to go.

1:54 am

i list, but only consult the 'dictionary' if i am unable to 'see' the word i am missing.

2:02 am

omg... i killed the chat... roflol

2:03 am

lol bad rose!

2:04 am

waaahhhh. i didn't mean to do so...

2:04 am

i went to investigate noise in the kitchen. The kitten has been hopping up on counter, and destroying a roll of paper towels night. Time to use the in-cabinet hangar again. Upside, not the smaller dog as i'd thought.

2:04 am

and i had some apple juice while i was in that room.

2:05 am

*giggle* seain, naughty kitty, good doggie.

2:05 am

*giggles* Tsk tsk, rose. Tsk tsk.

2:06 am

My mom took a can with a few noise items in

2:06 am

BBL - hugs all

2:07 am

2:07 am

2:07 am

Nini Liz

2:07 am

2:08 am

2:31 am

xoxox darling. i hope you have a wonderful day.

2:31 am

okay, not too taxing.

2:32 am

migraines are not fair.

2:32 am

awww hurshy. you have a migraine? yuck!!

2:33 am

yeah, yuck

2:34 am

i know they say not to look at screens during migraines, but, it never seems to make a difference with mine one way or the other

2:36 am

could you possibly wear light-tinted sunglasses when you have a migraine?

2:37 am

sure, i could do anything - but the only thing that seems to affect them is taking my sumatriptan.

2:37 am

i mean, i do definitely put on sunglasses in bright light, whether i have one or not, to prevent or not worsen them

2:40 am

okay. hubby has found an app? which he has on his computer. it is a blue filter. this also helps him to sleep easier.

2:41 am

nice

2:42 am

hurshy, i hope your migraine disappears really soon honey. dinner ready, so i need to go. xoxox

5:11 am

son number one produced a daughter a year ago. as he doesn't want me in his life, i haven't yet seen her. i would love to be a fly on the wall when he explains why i wasn't a part of her life. meanwhile, i have another th5 who are adorable. not to mention nieces and nephews who all keep me very much on the go.

Oh rose, that's so hard

I know how much you adore the others

5:12 am

chrissie, i have emailed worzel...heard from him before christmas. is all okay in that quarter?

Yes, he is doing ok.

5:14 am

chrissie, what can i do? i have apologised for whatever i have said/done or not said/done. all i received back was a load of abuse.

5:15 am

and diane?? is she okay too?

There's nothing more you can do, just hope that she will maje a relationship with you when she is older

Yes, thanks, Di is not too bad. I will tell them you are asking for them.

Please excuse typos. I am on an ipad

5:18 am

please tell di just how much i miss them both. no excuses needed chrissie.

Got to go now rose. Lovely to catch up with you. Enjoy the rest of your evening x

5:20 am

chrissie, it is too sad to think that this tiny human being is going to have be brave enough to approach me when her father is so malignant.

5:20 am

chrissie, enjoy your day honey. xoxox

5:34 am

Good morning all.

6:06 am

good morning, everyone!

6:06 am

Hello, there is life :)

6:07 am

Hiya, Sukee! i think the right coast is snowed in might not have power.

6:07 am

It missed us :)

6:08 am

that's good! I really haven't been keeping up with the storm, it's suppose to get up into the upper 30's F this weekend. hope not, hate the wet then the ice

6:09 am

I have an online friend in Cape Cod, they got hit hard last year and I bet they got it again.

6:09 am

There is power here so far, but it's still snowing like a son of a bitch

6:11 am

stay safe and warm, Molly

6:11 am

Thanks lbd, I see a lot of shoveling in my near future

6:14 am

do it in stages or hire a young person to do it for you. you don't need to risk injury or cardio pulmonary attack

6:21 am

Well, I would consider hiring someone, but not too many kids around here are that ambitious. We do it in stages, it's too much to do all at once.

6:35 am

Out comes the snow blower today. It's been idle up to today

6:38 am

I feel free to blame this storm on all the people who were clucking and saying "Oh, we're going to pay for this" when it was 60 degrees in December.

6:38 am

Saying those kinds of things just invites bad juju

6:48 am

hello from snowed in Brooklyn. All I see is snow blowing around and nothing else. Can't see the highway or the school across the street.

6:49 am

morning, annie and bichon. stay safe and warm. hope the powers that be keep the piles of snow under control.

6:50 am

morning, dawg. thanks.

6:52 am

bbs

6:58 am

ditto -- take care, all you folks in the Northeast . . . total at my house is about 8 inches and no thaw today -- high 28 . . . am sore from shoveling! :-)

6:59 am

My beagle mix girl thinks it's the greatest thing EVER! LOL

7:00 am

hi Unea! brr, that must be extra cold down there! lol at your pupster tho!

7:00 am

Bless her :-)

28 --- get out the sunscreen

7:03 am

I am sat here with two a wad of tissue up each nostril as it is running like a tap. Just thought i would share that image you all :-)

7:03 am

dawg, we've had craaaazy weather this winter -- one in the 50s then plunging to teens -- up and down and up and down!

7:03 am

10c/50f here.

7:03 am

aaawwww, sorry zooz

7:03 am

eewww, thanks, zooz...NOT

7:04 am

I have man flu. not sure if I am going to survive this one...urgh

7:04 am

Byz LOL

7:05 am

Of course I did say that last time and the time before that.

7:05 am

poor zooz. chicken soup, tea and lots of sleep.

7:05 am

you have my profound sympathy -- I had that back in December -- awful :-(

7:06 am

I tried sleep but I kept coughing too much with the runny nose. So have only had about three hours on and off lol

7:06 am

((Une)) thanks :-)

a running tap is an interesting image too .. can the water keep up?

7:06 am

I agree to lots of tea though, Dawg!

7:06 am

antihistamines to help dry up that runny nose.

7:07 am

No water isas quick as my running nose, TheByantine lol

7:07 am

Oh will they work with a cold, Dawg? Will try that. Many thanks!

7:08 am

yes, antihistamines are what is often times in cold meds.

7:08 am

Oh hahaha sorry just got that,,tap running faster than the water. sorry brain not working here.

7:09 am

Cool will go and take a couple.

7:09 am

gaufenacine (sp) is really good stuff, don't need much to stop the water works

7:09 am

Une, how did you get man flu? Did you switch teams?

7:10 am

what is gaufenacine?

7:11 am

The place i work at is an open office...cube farm. the men on both sides of me are sick and they sound terrible! but they know better than to whine, no sympathy in a room filled with women!

7:11 am

it's an antihistamine, Allegra D and a few others main ingredient for allergy sufferers

7:12 am

but i've also seen it on cold remedy packages too

Guaifenesin is used to treat coughs and congestion caused by the common cold, bronchitis, and other breathing illnesses. This product is usually not used for ongoing cough from smoking or long-term breathing problems (such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema) unless directed by your doctor. Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier. If you are self-treating with this medication, it is important to read the package instructions carefully before you start using this product to be sure it is right for you.

7:21 am

Bichon - very excellent. You win two free tickets on the next boat that leaves!

It's antihistamines in cold meds, right?

7:21 am

UN + what rock we live on.

7:21 am

un+third rock from the sun

7:22 am

I don't believe in antihistamines for colds

7:22 am

I thought thule was Norway.

7:22 am

7:22 am

Based on what, Bchon?

7:23 am

tadone! must get my day started. be safe and warm everyone!

7:23 am

Congrats, Dawg!

7:24 am

Depends on who you talk to. It is north somewhere: the Orkneys, Greenland, Iceland. Basically it is anything beyond known borders.

7:24 am

Anywhere really cold north then lol

7:25 am

Medevil term for the furthest north

why anre you anti antihistamine?

medieval

7:30 am

I suppose when you have a cold and the nose is running. It is trying to flush out the bad bacteria maybe by taking antihistamines it is stopping the body from doing its job so prolonging the cold maybe?

7:31 am

Does this mean that Bich is prohistamine? : D

7:32 am

And I do not reccomend gargling with warm salt water and swallowing a bit by mistake. I felt sick for ages afterwards LOL

7:32 am

Sorry I am in a bit of a whinging mood today. I will shut up :-)

7:33 am

No, when I have allergies in the summer. I take them, but not for a cold

7:33 am

You can whine Zoom, you're allowed. Everyone else does here. : D

7:34 am

Does here? Here does? Sorry, I think my grammar is buried in a snow drift.

7:35 am

So now I'm curious. Why don't you take them for a cold?

7:35 am

To be honest, Molly. I never noticed the error. Shows you how bad I am at grammar lol

7:39 am

Colds are caused by a rhinovirus, antihistimes cannot touch that

7:40 am

Well I don't think people are taking them to cure their cold. They are taking them to dry up runny noses.

7:42 am

You'ld have to a decongestant for that

7:49 am

Personally, I don't take cold medication. But I know a lot of people who get relief taking antihistamines.

7:53 am

antihistamines for colds? how very odd

8:03 am

Hello, Atalante :-)

8:03 am

Got another hot cup of tea my fifth today lol

8:03 am

good morning all

8:04 am

I will try anything thst will stop my nose from running, Atalante lol

8:04 am

Hello, Peri :-)

8:04 am

how are you feeling zooz?

8:04 am

Hi folks

8:04 am

Like poop but then I am a whimp when it comes to having a cold, Peri lol

8:05 am

Hello, Origami :-)

8:05 am

hi origami

8:05 am

Oh poor Zoom. He needs someone to fuss over him and make him hot drinks and bring him a warm blankey. : D

8:06 am

Would be nice :-)

8:06 am

hello all

8:06 am

8:07 am

8:07 am

8:10 am

hi Une, right now they are predicting 12 to 18 inches

8:10 am

I hope you are all keping safe over there!

8:10 am

molly how many inches so far?

8:11 am

I thought he was most famous for that awful Paradise By The Dashboard Light

8:11 am

Molly put it perfectly

8:11 am

turq I don't understand?

8:11 am

I'm at the bottom of a hill in both directions -- 8 inches of snow and ice -- going nowhere today for sure!!

8:11 am

Molly probably a more popular song by him yes

8:12 am

Une, are you shoveling for the pups

8:12 am

At least your doggy is happy, Une :-)

8:12 am

It has been snowing here nonstop for over 18 hours. We are looking at two feet. Very depressing.

8:12 am

OK, try this: solving a problem, taking off the s and substituting el

8:12 am

that's what the weather said yesterday

8:13 am

Im on the 23rd floor, cant see a thing

8:13 am

i.e. take off the s and a vowel and substitute el

8:14 am

If you can enthuse, why can't you thuse?

8:14 am

yes, Annie -- really sore from shoveling and shoveling and shoveling for the pups -- at least they have a "runway" in the middle of the driveway where they can get a few feet away from the house! LOL

8:14 am

So far I have made beef burgundy, red sauce and cinnamon rolls. Now I'm working on a pan of macaroni and cheese with ham bits. We won't starve. : D

8:14 am

one can only out-thuse, not enthuse

8:14 am

yum!!!

8:15 am

ooh sounds ike the PB is getting stocked up. thanks, Molly!

8:15 am

and if you lose power some of that will still taste good

8:15 am

They eat well at Molly's house

8:15 am

If we lose power, I have a grill and a propane cooker to heat things up.

8:15 am

Molly, I've been thawing chili and red sauce I made last summer with fresh veggies :-)

8:15 am

good point, turq

8:16 am

I am so glad I don't have to deal with snow except when I go to the mountains by choice

8:16 am

ty

8:16 am

EL +5th vowel + consonant +electrically charged atom.

8:17 am

I hate snow. I would love to live somewhere that never got the wretched stuff.

8:17 am

move to Florida Molly

8:17 am

It's been a really beautiful snow here BUT it's no fun when you can't get OUT! LOL

8:18 am

If I had the money to do that I would.

8:18 am

ty zooz

8:18 am

I love snow

8:19 am

Snow is beautiful but when you have to dig your car out, it loses its beauty

8:20 am

agree annie

8:20 am

You couldn't move me to florida with a million bucks

8:20 am

San Diego sounds good

8:20 am

ruru me either they have other bad weather there

8:20 am

good morning, ruru

8:20 am

San Diego is beautiful right now.

8:20 am

same here, ru -- you're moving to such a wonderful area -- Napa is just terrific

8:21 am

napa valley?

8:21 am

morning, all.

8:21 am

Hiya jade

8:21 am

is he8 a pl?

8:22 am

hey jade :-)

8:22 am

Hi Jade

8:22 am

yes mlf

8:22 am

morning jade

8:22 am

hi jade

8:24 am

San diego is nice. Except for the traffic

8:24 am

It's been sunny during the days out here, and a bit chilly at night. Though we're expecting rain.....traffic stinks no matter what major city you live in, ruru.

8:24 am

and the weather is a bit weird there at times

8:25 am

does he8 start with the same first 4 letters as the he6/21 and the he 7/32?

8:25 am

We only have traffic during tourist season

8:26 am

yes, ML

8:26 am

BUT there are two sets of 6/21 & 7/32!!

8:27 am

I have the he7 ending in e and I know that doesn't pl

8:27 am

I knew that turq:)

8:27 am

yes it does :-)

8:27 am

have you got the very addictive drug?

8:27 am

he7 and plural refers to the main female character in a story

8:27 am

Think of a white powder drug but then add to it.

8:28 am

ty zooz

8:28 am

nbt and nbs

8:29 am

go mlf!

8:29 am

Ru, I wonder why everyone thinks you are moving TO Napa. : D

8:29 am

Zooz knows a lot about drugs 😂

8:30 am

Me too. I have been here 30 years

8:30 am

ok ok ok -- moving to a NEW HOUSE LOL

8:31 am

Well I do drink lot of tea, Ru :-)

8:31 am

Une do you like pit bulls?

8:32 am

we've had this conversation . . . yes I do -- the rescue pit bulls I've transported have all been soooo sweet

8:32 am

(Imagines zooz partying with Keith Richards)

8:33 am

Oh

8:33 am

I have had tea in London its better then the tea here in the South(us). I hate sweet tea other tea is fine though

8:33 am

I met a really nice pit bull yesterday

8:33 am

cool!!

8:34 am

Normally they scare the crap out of me

8:34 am

<<<<<< the one on the right in my icon was such a sweetheart but HUGE -- 80 lbs of muscle!

8:35 am

ru, I thought they were scary until I started transporting them -- had never actually "met" one until then -- unless they're raised to be aggressive, they are very very affectionate and gentle

8:36 am

I have heard that une

8:37 am

they still scare me

8:38 am

aaawwww you need to get to know one/some, MLF :-)

8:38 am

Now i am just afraid of shitzus

8:38 am

in 6 years of transporting, the only dog that ever bit me was a miniature dachsund! LOL

8:39 am

hello everybody. I've met several very sweet pit bulls and I love the way they look

8:39 am

I had a wonderful pit bull.

8:39 am

une seriously??

8:39 am

hi ruby

8:39 am

Hi ruby

8:39 am

Hi, MLF

8:39 am

yes, mlf -- and it wasn't really his fault -- he was just scared and no one had let the drivers know he was a fear biter

8:39 am

hi ruby

8:39 am

hey ruby ;-)

8:40 am

I don't like tiny dogs as the ones I've met have beeen nippy and nervous

8:40 am

une so uncommon for those types of dogs

8:40 am

not a fan of tiny dogs either, ruby

8:40 am

My friend has a tiny yorkie that tried to bite Ruffino!

8:40 am

ruby most small dogs are that way

8:40 am

((origami))

8:41 am

I call the tiny dogs ankle biting yelpers lol

8:41 am

I like pugs and king charles spaniels as little dogs

8:41 am

If dogs could snort and laugh, Rufe would have, like "What is this insect trying to do? He looks like lunch to me"

8:42 am

I did have a cairn poo years ago not like the typical small dog behaviours. I wish I could find another one like it I loved that dog

8:42 am

me too, ru -- and French bulldogs -- so cute!

8:42 am

pugs are adorable and not that tiny, ditto king charles

8:42 am

I have a black lab right now who thinks that everything belongs in his mouth.

8:42 am

Yeah they are. They don't live long though une

8:43 am

labs are so wonderful!!

8:43 am

really? didn't know that, ru

8:43 am

I knezw a 3restaurant3 bull dog here (Fr of course) who, after knowing me and playing with me for a couple of years, tried to bite me

8:43 am

7-9 years

8:43 am

I've only been bitten once, by a chow .. sorry Ruby :-)

8:44 am

have transported lots of black labs -- such sweethearts -- so weird how people avoid black dogs

8:44 am

that's so sad, ru :-(

8:44 am

Chows have a bad rep, but, like with pit bulls, it dépends how they're raised

8:45 am

they are big and stubborn, though

8:45 am

One of my neighbors has some little yippy dog that looks like a rat and barks constantly. It's name is Taos. I call it Chaos.

8:45 am

Most chows i have met are indifferent and aloof

8:45 am

agreed, ruby --people always told me how aggressive they were but the one time I "met" one in a state park, he was so sweet and followed me all over the place :-)

8:45 am

It was being property-protective

8:46 am

Molly LOL

8:46 am

My black-and-tan coonhound is big and stubborn also

so, i was listening to these songs that people have put on youtube where they change songs that are in a major key, to a minor key, and this makes them more sad or haunting or whatever

12:11 pm

nasal passages

12:12 pm

there are also a few that take minor key songs and change them into a major key - but weirdly enough, it seemed to me that that change did not make nearly as much of a difference - i thought those songs retained their original emotional impact.

I'm sorry for your loss MLF. My husband had colorectal cancer. He was diagnosed in July 2015 and died 4 months to the day from diagnoses. There were complications from the chemo and radiation treatments. I was not ready to let him go but could not bear watching him suffer. I miss him so much.

1:08 pm

smd that is so terrible it wasn't easy for my mom either. he stopped eating and pretty much laid around they finally decided to let him go...

1:09 pm

It is really hard to turn loose of the love of your life. The hardest was telling him I would be okay knowing I would fall apart when he left.

1:10 pm

you didn't have much choice or so it seems

I have four other great sons and they have been wonderful helping me through both losses. However, I am having a time coming to terms with losing my husband. He was never sick. I was always the one that stayed sick. It seems it should have been me rather than him. Not having a pity party, just realizing you never know what life is going to throw at you.

1:18 pm

I also lost my husband ten years ago. Heart crushing.

1:19 pm

Pity parties are okay.

2:03 pm

hi saanich

2:03 pm

giggle

2:04 pm

hi nan, hego, tu, turqaz…everyone doing well today?

2:04 pm

There is no point in digging out here until the snow stops. It will be an all day event because we do it in short stretches.

2:04 pm

:)

2:04 pm

thankfully it isn't snowing here

2:04 pm

that really would br crazy weather.

2:05 pm

nor here -- rain every day though -- wish we could send some to central CA - the price of veggies is outrageous

2:06 pm

that's the "I live in a beautiful area" surcharge nan :D

2:06 pm

You are lucky Ru, you live in a nice climate. Although I would miss the grass.

2:06 pm

CA has gotten lots of rain in this El Nino year

2:06 pm

well.. we have lots of pot out here molly

2:07 pm

The stuff in the ground that is. The other stuff is plentiful I'm sure

2:07 pm

we pay the sunshine tax on our gas all summer -- don't expect to have to pay all winter as well

2:07 pm

we have drought resistant yards now.. that's the norm

2:08 pm

so all million of our golf courses can be green

2:08 pm

There are people here who have little bitty townhouse front yards and do the wood chip instead of grass thing because they are too lazy for the upkeep.

2:09 pm

maybe their bark is worse than their bite molly :D

2:09 pm

Well, what would all those rich Californians do without courses to golf on.

2:09 pm

I always see in CA rocks insteady of grass

2:09 pm

play bridge I guess :D

2:09 pm

I thought a lot of the golf courses in CA were going to the links style

2:10 pm

not really nan

2:10 pm

I see hundreds of thousands of gallons of h20 pumped into green golf courses here

2:10 pm

it kind of tees me off so to speak :D

2:11 pm

they were talking about it at Palm Desert Greens, but we haven't been down for 3 winters now, so have no idea if they actually converted

2:12 pm

I find it extraordinary that there is such a waste for pleasure use. Up here in the rain forest we are on restrictions in the Spring

2:12 pm

I do as well saanich

2:12 pm

but then I don't golf either

2:12 pm

su 6/27, pls

2:12 pm

and also for fracking use but that's a whole nother topic...

2:13 pm

oh.. don't get me started on that

2:13 pm

su6 you jest, bichon :-)

2:13 pm

that is the stupidest thing the government is allowing here.. it's criminal

2:14 pm

don't talk about waste to someone who has just been touring europe --- there is enough wealth in church treasures sitting in vaults or behind glass display cases to feed the starving of the world

2:14 pm

yes it is. (I was going to go on a rant, but you are spared)

2:15 pm

ty dan

2:15 pm

but you can have all that wealth but without water to grow things you might as well throw it awaay

2:16 pm

use the wealth to dig wells, build aqueducts --- surely a life is worth more than some jewel encrusted cross

2:17 pm

(nan is going to hell) :D

2:17 pm

lu7 anybody?

2:18 pm

lu7 doctrine (sorta )

2:18 pm

good! power on is key. hope she is better soon.

no way to judge how much, it has blown so, maybe 14 inches?

2:22 pm

2:24 pm

2:46 pm

hi scrabbs, ru et al

2:46 pm

hi monty

2:46 pm

i think there was a misunderstanding, ru - he's not spoken with anyone yet. bozeman and spokane are a full day's drive from here, so not likely we'll be going there. vet hopes to speak with someone this week.

2:47 pm

still on call scrabbs ?

2:47 pm

i'm still hoping that new diet does the trick

2:47 pm

oh.. ok.. the rep told my vet he spoke to your vet I thought.

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

I'm changing Dylan's diet next month

2:48 pm

2:50 pm

I have to keep trying everything I can.. it's a pain in the ass though

2:50 pm

2:52 pm

If I have to put out candlelight for Dylan I'm throwing in the towel :D

2:53 pm

candlelight, soft music, linen - and maybe a blonde lab

ruuuuuuuuuuu

2:53 pm

1st pass done - bbl for last 91 (sigh) - must go - happy babblings all and take care - "poof"

2:53 pm

gone are the old days of popping open a can of Ken-l-ration.

2:53 pm

bye, monty

2:54 pm

I'm adopting a lab soon welki

2:54 pm

bye welki - "real poof"

2:54 pm

yeah, we've really screwed things up, haven't we. dogs, kids, the planet ...

2:54 pm

Why do so many dogs have problems now? Additives in dog food? Antibiotics or hormones in dog food?

2:54 pm

the universe has turned hypersensitive

2:55 pm

Imagines hego eating Campbell's soup daily :D

2:55 pm

No dog of mine ever complained. lol

2:55 pm

no clue, scrabbler - i'd guess for the same reasons so many children are food sensitive, too

2:55 pm

We see so many food allergies in kids,especially peanut allergies.

2:55 pm

goldens are sensitive dogs

2:55 pm

They gobbled the stuff right up.

2:56 pm

I'm allergic to nuts but not peanuts

2:56 pm

a lot of the purebred dogs I know have allergies ... overbreeding maybe?

2:56 pm

same as one of my grand-kids, ru -- tree nuts are taboo, peanuts are fine

2:56 pm

just genetics ori.. my other dogs never had allergies

2:56 pm

Peanuts are not tree nuts, they are actually beans.

2:57 pm

yummy legumes :)

2:57 pm

legumes

2:57 pm

Dylan's mom is allergic.. the breeder now says had she known she wouldn't have bred her

2:57 pm

Is Dylan a lab?

2:57 pm

baxter's parents had no allergies - i'm just lucky

2:57 pm

he's a golden retriever

2:58 pm

wooo hooo.. we're both "lucky" welki :D

2:58 pm

is it baxter and dylan who are related? or was it monty?

2:59 pm

monty was related to your Baxter

3:00 pm

and our other dog Lily too

3:00 pm

Did you two know this before you knew each other?

3:00 pm

no.. we found out by looking at relatives

3:00 pm

Interesting.

3:00 pm

Monty's father was a very famous dog

3:00 pm

no, scrabbs - it came up in chat one evening, we were talking bloodlines and voila - turns out that ru and i are distantly related through our beautiful boys

3:01 pm

I think grand parents wasn't it Welki?

3:01 pm

yes, i believe so

3:02 pm

I like your icon welki

3:02 pm

it's not bax, but it's appropriate - the cone of shame

3:05 pm

i've always had dogs, even another golden retriever, but they all came to me 'previously owned.' baxter was my first puppy, from a good breeder i still keep in touch with, but i've got to say - no more puppies, and likely, the next dog, if there ever is another, will be a mutt

3:05 pm

...but i think bax and murray are my last dogs

3:06 pm

no more pups for me either. I'm too old to survive another

3:10 pm

What is the typical training period?

3:11 pm

with goldens?

3:12 pm

your whole life :D

3:12 pm

For a puppy? To get them trained to sleep well overnight, to stay in a crate, to pee and poop outside.

3:13 pm

oh.. just a week or so.. Dylan was pretty good about that

3:13 pm

Monty was a dream when it came to that

3:13 pm

a week?

3:13 pm

they're just like kids, scrabb - every one is different. baxter was a pain in the neck.

3:13 pm

yeah.. pretty much

3:14 pm

monty got it right away.. just whined his first night and then all was ok

3:14 pm

that's pretty quick.

3:15 pm

we were bonded from when he was 3 weeks old

3:16 pm

having dogs is like being in bondage :)

3:16 pm

I only do bondage on the weekends :D who has the time?

3:17 pm

i suppose - my hands are tied during the week

3:17 pm

lu 7?

3:18 pm

(just kidding) for all the lurkers out there

3:18 pm

Same with bunnies. They expect to be fed (salads morning and evening) when they want. The other night when I was getting ready for bed I looked around for Remy because he is usually right outside the bathroom. I went to my bedroom and he was sitting right next to my pillow. *squeal*

3:18 pm

like the german friar, hego - add a letter

3:18 pm

ty

3:18 pm

he was ready for bed, scrabbler - and waiting for you :)

3:19 pm

Danke,welki.

3:19 pm

bitte

3:19 pm

I went all around that one

3:19 pm

Yes, welki. He sleep in my room now that I stopped putting up the gate at the bottom of the stairs.

3:19 pm

I need to go run some errands. Have fun everyone

3:20 pm

Bye Ru

3:20 pm

Bye, Ruru

3:20 pm

later, ru

3:21 pm

sometimes, we're surprised when our companion animals do precisely what we've hoped they'd do (and have kept them from doing by putting up gates, barriers, etc)

3:22 pm

I have to keep one bedroom door closed, and bunny-proof stuff in my room.

3:23 pm

Well,I need to bunny-proof everywhere.

3:23 pm

:)

3:23 pm

i remember doing the same when my girls had bunnies - notorious cord chewers

3:24 pm

SO many cords--alarm clocks, lamps, phone chargers...

3:26 pm

Don't use duct tape. ;)

3:27 pm

hehe - i remember that, too, hego

3:27 pm

:)

3:28 pm

Tey thought it was an appetizer.

3:28 pm

they

3:29 pm

scrabbler,I hope they are trained to use litter trays!! ..... and HI everyone ... hope you are keeping your chin up with all the horrible weather you are having.

hi mo! 50 degrees and sunny here ;)

3:30 pm

hi Mo. srabs bunnies use litter boxes.

3:30 pm

All of my bunnies, since 1983, have used litter boxes. Bunnies are so easy to tr5.

3:31 pm

-10C and sunny here, too

3:31 pm

25 F degrees he4

that is pretty cold welki

3:32 pm

where in jersey is your sister, scrab? my sister is in glen rock and i have a daughter in eatontown - they're both getting hammered by the storm

3:33 pm

glad to hear it scrabbler !... I thought everywhere was deep in snow un the USA

3:33 pm

blah, for this time of year, i'm content with the temperature - much better than the -30C with wind we had this time last year

3:33 pm

I can see Eatontown from he 4.

ooph welki i would have to agree

mo, it's on the east coast...

3:34 pm

if you look closely, hego, you'll see my grand-daughter playing with her dog in the snow - winslow the bulldog :)

3:35 pm

My sister is in northern Bergen County. I should check on her. She might be sleeping because she works the night shift.

3:35 pm

Wish I could.

we are still getting snow.

3:37 pm

same county, scrabbler - my sister just said she's on round 3 of shoveling

3:37 pm

must go. Later All.

3:37 pm

hi owl

3:37 pm

sorry blah ... my geography of the USA is rubbish so I will sit in a corner and keep quiet!! lol :-(

hi welk.

oh mo no worries!

3:40 pm

:-) ty blah

3:41 pm

My sister has a snowblower.

3:41 pm

the weather here has been frosty overnight but mildish for the time of year during the day.

outside of London to Purton (where my aunt and cousins live) my knowledge of the UK is pretty blurry :)

3:44 pm

They have had snow in Scotland,Cumbria and Derbyshire and some in London I believe but thankfully not here yet!!

Over 40 inches of snow in some places. Thankfully it seems like there are no widespread power outages.

(over 100 cm for my metric friends :))

3:53 pm

it is difficult to imagine that much snow, I hope it soon melts very slowly, you do not want to be flooded.

3:54 pm

Ah,now my 84 mother is on the phone telling me about her bloated belly and gas.

Unfortunately there is already much flooding in coastal areas due to high tide, wind and full moon. What a mess, glad I am far away

ah thanks scrabb ;)

3:55 pm

Well, I get to listen to this everyday, and sometimes more than once a day--what she ate, what is bothering her,etc.

my mom was like that too...meanwhile don't waste breath

oops don't waste breath talking to her about her diet lol

'e.g., perhaps cake should not be the primary source of your caloric intake

4:03 pm

She eats healthy food because I shop for her every Monday.

4:05 pm

But I explained to her that vegetables do cause gas and being inactive (she mostly sits all day but uses a walker to get to the bathroom) contributes to gas.

oh that's good. We had to talk my mom out of eating chicken that had been in her freezer for 12 years. ("But that's such a waste of money!")

has she tried something like beano?

'yes the veggies will do that, but better than not eating them at all

4:10 pm

I should buy Beano. I bought her a multistrain probiotic supplement but then she complained that that made her gassy too.

has anyone seen hego?

4:11 pm

I swear by beano.

does not work for me

4:14 pm

Hego was here earlier.

wonder if she finished or is having power issue.

4:24 pm

My sister Leslie in Bergen county just shoveled 15 inches in her driveway.

4:25 pm

does anyone have a clue or the le 6? pls

news says we have 24 but it is snowing hard and blowing right now

4:26 pm

le6 is a word for a mass on a body organ

4:27 pm

TY Molly

4:28 pm

TO, I had to close the blinds. It is just too depressing to look outside and think of the mess it has made of things.

i have a friend who goes to FLA every Jan and is posting pics paddling with manatees. he is getting lots of hate posts right now. :)

4:30 pm

i'm back. almost 2 hours digging out! clue, plz, for first se6/18?

4:31 pm

I couldn't possibly dig out for 2 hours straight. It's too cold and it's too much stress on your body.

TY

4:55 pm

5:02 pm

ty origami

and the tu8?

5:06 pm

5:07 pm

Wow! Weather conditions on the East Coast of the US are headline news here. I hope y Babble frieends are safe & warm & dry.

5:09 pm

Tu 8/45. Sea creature akin to tortoise - followed by 2 consonants

snowed in here, soodle.

5:10 pm

Oh, I feel for you, TO. I hope it all goes away soon.

ty for the clue

as long as there is power, it is ok.

it is the beach that getting the worst, three high tides, the first was nearly record.

5:11 pm

God yes. Power is essential...

there is over two feet of water with little icebergs floating in the streets.

5:12 pm

Absolutely terrifying scenes been shown on TV here.

you do not get blizzard snow there?

5:18 pm

Good Afternoon, Everyone. How are you all today?

fine and you, nef?

5:20 pm

Just fine; kind of thinking you have our "normal" January weather again.

i certainly hope this weather is not normal for you. it is a winter hurricane.

5:21 pm

Yes, 18-30 inches is just a normal snowstorm for us.

5:22 pm

:-) We've had probably more winters with nasty storms that these last 2 wimpy ones.

5:24 pm

The difference is that Minnesota has always known how to deal with them (because we're used to it)

5:24 pm

Hey all

5:25 pm

Hi car.ee

5:26 pm

Hi Car

5:26 pm

Just finishing up my last few.

5:26 pm

Areas are only equipped to deal with snowfall that they are used to. Most of the areas getting hit with this storm are not equipped to deal with it. I don't know how people who get this kind of snow all the time drive in blizzard/white out conditions. Or how delivery trucks get things into the stores and gas stations.

5:26 pm

Yes, we are accustomed to this weather.

5:28 pm

I know, Molly. Here in MN we are used to bad winters; but it seems we aren't used to the wimpy ones. I feel bad that you guys are having such a tough time with this weather; but at least it Sounds like people are taking it seriously.

hi car. molly, i am sure dc is at a standstill.

5:29 pm

Seain posted that many of Loudon's snowplows broke down. :-(

5:30 pm

oh, No!. That's horrible having snow plows not working!

5:30 pm

It is going to be days/a week before this area gets over a snowfall this big.

oh my. the area is so close, i forget the climate differences.

they were wrong about a lot of this one. one good error is that the snow is now light, helping the issue of wires and tree limbs. but it is going to rain and get warm mid week. it will flood.

5:32 pm

hello all....hope you are all safe and dry...

5:32 pm

any clues for 8s out there? i have only one: the tr. would love some others. ty.

5:33 pm

tu 8 clued at 5:09...

5:33 pm

Need a clue please for SU 6/21?

5:33 pm

It has been a HUGE blessing that the snow is light and not heavy and icy. A power outage in this kind of snow storm is very difficult to deal with.

5:33 pm

Clue for the tr8 please?

5:34 pm

amen...i remember the ice storm of 1998....awful...

5:34 pm

Ru's clue...the su6 did it (in a mystery)

yes. a quick thaw will cause issues though.

5:34 pm

Ones you are teaching to do a task

5:34 pm

people who teach people things is the tr 8.....or another name for sneakers....

oh, nothing compares to ice.

5:34 pm

ty!

5:35 pm

Yes, there are two TR 8's, the ones who teach and the ones who learn!

5:35 pm

we are expecting nothing here....i am grateful for that...especially after all the snow we had last winter...

5:35 pm

I had the one tr8 but not the students/learners.

5:35 pm

any clues for the 8s?

5:36 pm

Just clues two TR 8's

yes, you folks could use a break this year

5:37 pm

And with 72 left I have had enough of this grid.

Trying to finish a large grid is so painful.

trif is more loaded than lickety :D

9:15 pm

well, wahoo, logging back in with a bunch to find..62.. hi all. Hope all of you in the storm's path are safe and warm and have power!

9:27 pm

9:50 pm

hi all

9:50 pm

plenty of snow and plenty of power so far

9:54 pm

glad you are ok, jmc

9:55 pm

got a lot of house cleaning done today :D

9:57 pm

super.. I actually attacked a closet yesterday and also did some very overdue filing.. bad weather helps those put off indoor chores

9:59 pm

snowy up in your parts too?

10:01 pm

nope.. am in SW Fla. Today was extremely windy and cool. I worked out in the grove with my favorite fuzzy hat from up north and a vest and long sleeved shirt..

10:02 pm

ah. . . had you in the midwest in my head. . . . well no insulation in fla. so that can be chilly

10:04 pm

yes indeed.. the windows here that are installed when you build a house are pathetic compared to the ones up north..

10:05 pm

seems to me that if you have a good window against the cold, it would also be a good window against the heat..

10:05 pm

i had an apartment in Houston that the front door was glass slats. . . .you could never keep the wind out of that

10:06 pm

you are right of course snuffy but many designs come from pre-a/c

10:06 pm

eek, not good at all

10:12 pm

ah, nice when you can remember an obscure word from a past Babble grid.. but I would not have been able to spot si6.18 without Lickety's clues, I confess

10:13 pm

I have several words i learned from babble. . . cant say that si6/18 comes to mind

10:14 pm

what does that mean?

10:14 pm

it is like "no sound" with a vowel attached

10:15 pm

.. and the last letter of the "no sound" omitted

10:15 pm

ty snuffy. . . apparently a satyr/sprite

10:15 pm

are you almost done?

10:17 pm

it is the pl of a woodland deity of GK mythology, lol.. I have 20 left to find

10:17 pm
