4:21 am

morning all

4:22 am

tudor is capitalised, probably

4:43 am

just popped back in and lookee who is here. {{hugs}} my darling sprite. hope your night was okay.

4:44 am

hello my dear friend. No it wasn't. One of the worst ever. How was your day?

4:45 am

gentle hugs for my poor sweet girl. xoxox

4:45 am

I swear, if it has to be like this, I will stock up on energy drinks and cocaine and never sleep again

4:45 am

church this morning. guest speaker was from the Asylum Seeker Centre in our town. very interesting

4:46 am

ah right, you told me he was coming. Glad it was interesting.

4:47 am

btw i passed on your compliments to the vicar. i think she was pretty pleased, as well as gob-smacked

4:47 am

aw nice :)

4:48 am

honey surely there must be something you haven't yet tried. i feel so guilty telling you how i can sleep after my infusion...

4:48 am

why on earth should you feel guilty? I am ever so glad to hear it.

4:48 am

*light-bulb moment* sprite, could you talk to your doctor about the possibility of you having the same thing

4:50 am

I could, of course. But am not ready to embark on a new medical journey, tbh. I'd have to go through the mill again to establish I do have FM, and then to find someone with the right treatment. Right now I am still in the gastric bypass mill.

4:51 am

i understand. if i may mention it again, when may i do so? what sort of time frame do you think?

4:52 am

aw sweetie, you are the best. Mention it whenever you feel like it! I will keep it in mind, for sure.

4:53 am

and please please don't ever feel guilty for feeling good or better or sleeping well or anything. It really makes me happy to know you have some relief.

4:53 am

the point is that the ketamine part also helps depression etc. if it would help you with your nights...

4:53 am

am gonna bring it up next time I see my gp. If only to put it in her head already for later.

4:55 am

good idea. at least it would be on your record for future reference. as for trying to convince a doctor re FM any anaesthetist/pain management doc would understand you immediately.

4:57 am

*sigh* Days look so much better when you sleep well, don't they! I have to step in for caya, she is doing her finals and her mind is on that, not on her chores. Which is fine. But you know how little things can become mountains you have to climb when you don't sleep, right? :)

4:58 am

absolutely. i usually just sit in a quivering lump.

4:58 am

yeah exactly, that feeling. I am gonna make myself go do dem chores right after finding my last word here... or I never will get around to it. And I am gonna try for a nap this afternoon.

4:59 am

lol... final word... to5. Told you I had trouble facing to5 :)

4:59 am

sounds like a good plan honey.

4:59 am

*hugs rose* Thanks for being there, darling. It really really helps.

5:00 am

WTG SPRITE!!!! lol

5:03 am

I hope you will sleep well again, and have a lovely day tomorrow. *hugs* for you and Don.

Hi Tirf. I enjoy hearing comments from silly middle schoolers.

7:59 am

thanks scrabbler. sometimes it is fun, sometimes I want to screech

7:59 am

Trif, even.

7:59 am

hi trif

7:59 am

hi mlf!

8:00 am

and flosey, and all the fine folks here today -

8:00 am

omg i just got the re10

8:00 am

scrabbler, I thought of you yesterday as I enjoyed my "hike" up what turned out to be no more than a hill....but it's a start!

8:01 am

Hi Trif

8:01 am

hi annie

8:01 am

start out slow trif

8:01 am

On Friday morning I did physical exams at a small school district where I am the school doc. There are 250 kids in the entire school pre-K-12. I heard many funny comments.

8:01 am

not much option there, mlf! but I do believe in starts

8:01 am

is the pr 11 an extension of another pr word?

8:01 am

my mum was the school doctor in our town too!

8:02 am

Go Trif! White Mtns of NH beckon you.

no, mlf, similar to the 10.

8:02 am

lol trif just go up and down a few times and it will feel like you went a million miles

8:02 am

MLF - use your 10!

8:02 am

*Imagines Trif and the Hobbits trekking through the White Mountians

8:02 am

LOL - I think I would have to find a very small mountain to start with!

8:03 am

trif uh oh lol

8:03 am

ty nbt and nbs

8:04 am

it was PERFECT redhead weather yesterday - mid 70s but completely over cast

8:08 am

just made it to 100 words

8:09 am

wahoo! kadresa is coming over! means I have to white glove the place, but ....yeah! my sister is coming over!!!

8:19 am

Did Trif disappear toclean her house?

8:20 am

sounds like it scrab

8:25 am

did anyone find the tu 4 word?

8:26 am

tsk,tsk

8:26 am

got it ty annie

8:27 am

yw

8:30 am

A mother hung up on me when I was trying to give her advice a short time ago.

8:31 am

That is terrible. She should be grateful.

8:32 am

I don't know whether to call her back later when she calms down. I left her a voice mail because she wouldn't pick up the phone when I called back right away.

8:32 am

Yes, call her back later.

8:32 am

were you advising her to vote for sanders over Clinton Scrabs?

8:32 am

lol

8:33 am

that is what i would do

8:33 am

Yes,it was rude and disrespectful. Her 4 mo old is constipated. Turns out he is drinking far too much formula because she is feeding him twice during the night.

8:33 am

I told her to to a write-in vote for Rand Paul.

8:33 am

yikes

8:34 am

:D

8:34 am

well if you have her vote for Clinton maybe her baby will throw up?

8:34 am

She screamed at me then hung up, but she was upset because she just wanted her baby to poop.

8:35 am

I think that all of the presidential candidates cause GI distress.

8:35 am

I suspect her issues go beyond poop

8:35 am

lol scrab. not a fan of any of them either

8:37 am

She is a tired mom that has 2 older kids and she is a teacher. When I told her that a typical 4 mo old sleeps 8-10 hrs overnight she screamed and hung up.

8:37 am

yeah.. but if Meat Loaf was running for president...

8:37 am

Help with pr words including the 11 - which letter is the third?

8:37 am

wouldn't go for that either ruru lol

8:38 am

scrab the older kids need to stop making so much noise or be helpful with their younger sibling

8:38 am

pr 7 Lettuce, tomatoes etc

8:39 am

pr7 when birds pick their feathers

8:39 am

teachers tend to be a little temperamental scrabs :D

8:39 am

pr 7/40 to go on doing something

8:41 am

100 left:)

8:42 am

this is a fun grid

8:42 am

Thx found the bird reference - so have the 7 but still stuck on 9 amm

8:42 am

She is stressed and exhausted, Ruru. It is so rude when mothers call US for advice then get upset, scream, and hang up. I wonder if she feels as bad as I do right now.

8:42 am

she'll probably end up calling you back scrabs, once she settles down. she's probably sleep deprived and all frazzled

8:42 am

On 9 and 11

8:42 am

hello all

8:42 am

pr 7/40 means to comem before

8:42 am

hi farruska

8:43 am

Hi Farruska

8:43 am

9 and 11 pr words are complately different alley

8:43 am

the 11 is before 1066

8:43 am

hello all

8:43 am

hi kal

8:43 am

how's it going? sunny day here in Portugal :-)

8:44 am

hello farruska, alleyn, ru, kallia - everyone!

8:44 am

Which vowel is the third letter?

8:44 am

e

8:44 am

well it's before....

8:46 am

the 11 is how trump considers models :D

8:46 am

lol , all of them?

8:46 am

ruru uhhhh

8:47 am

or Britain considered one of the countries they took over

8:47 am

kal i don't think so no

8:47 am

Hi Kallia

8:47 am

well it happened to us in 1066 you know :)

8:47 am

Hi Scrab

8:48 am

you actually trying to be contentious Ru ?

8:48 am

Husband now searching as well - both clueless

8:49 am

me? no

8:49 am

trying to help alleyn

8:49 am

I don't get the clue either.

8:49 am

don't you know what happened in 1066 Alleyn?

8:49 am

..for 9,10,or11.

8:49 am

I was teasingRu, honest!

8:50 am

Husband got it!

8:50 am

great :)

8:50 am

I'm actually kind of surprised you guys didn't vote for autonomy kallia ..

8:51 am

when Ru?

8:51 am

oh I'm not in Scotland so no vote

8:51 am

oh.. I thought you were in scotland

8:52 am

no I'm a Scot butlive in England

8:52 am

I was secretly hoping the taxes would drop on MacCallan :D

8:52 am

hahaa more booze for your bucks eh

8:53 am

but I do like to be contentious sometimes around here

8:53 am

oh really? I hadn't noticed ;D

8:54 am

I was stunned that Scotland didn't vote for autonomy. I can't imagine living in a country under the thumb of another country.

8:55 am

well I don't think it's quite like that Molly....

8:56 am

atalante turned me on to my new favorite scotch though

8:56 am

Sorry if I worded that wrong. I live in a country that chose not to live under the "guidance" of England so that is the basis of my comment. I would think Scots would want to govern themselves. I guess not.

8:58 am

not enough of them anyway Molly. Scotland and England are so entwined that it would be quite difficult,especially on the financial side.....the predictions of Scotland's earnings have already been proved to be wrong...

8:58 am

well, in Scotland's defense Molly, we Americans chose to be under the guidance of George Bush

8:59 am

Are you still beating that old drum Ru?

8:59 am

you did indeed, and what a lot of you have voted for Trump!!

8:59 am

<---not this one

9:00 am

(yes)

9:03 am

I can't vouch for the intelligence quota of the American voting population. We have had two years of the most ineffective President ever and the majority of Republicans seem hell bent on Trump for the next 4.

9:04 am

Sorry, two terms

9:04 am

well from my prospective he has been ineffective (on some things) because of the Republicans blocking him,but whAT DO iKNOW

9:04 am

The Republicans just can't seem to find a reasonable suitable candidate. Most of them are ...well.. nuts

9:05 am

OOPS, sorry hat caps by mistake

9:05 am

hit not hat!

9:06 am

We have had plenty of effective Democratic Presidents who had a Republican based Congress attempt to thwart their efforts.

9:06 am

as I said Molly, what would I know :)

9:07 am

At least Obama knows how to pronounce nuclear

9:07 am

I always find it interesting that people in other countries are so up on American politics. I can honestly say I know nothing about the politics in any country other than my own.

9:09 am

*Pictures Ru in 20 years as an elder, still whining about Bush to his great grand nephews : P

9:10 am

well I agree with Ru, Bush, along with Blair, did a great dis-service to both our countries.

9:10 am

<--already elder

9:10 am

i d0nt know why but i always like Blair. which Bush kal?

9:10 am

and caused a hell of a mess elsewhere while they were at it!

9:10 am

elder to what ruru?

9:11 am

It will be scary times if Trump gets elected President. But I think we are going to end up with another Clinton in The White House (not necessarily a good thing either)

9:11 am

the latest one in particular MLF

9:11 am

kal..ohhh

9:11 am

molly i am dreading the thought

9:12 am

I think it scares the world Molly

9:12 am

I am as big a feminist as the next woman. But I have no reason to vote for Clinton just because she is a woman.

9:12 am

molly not a reason for me to vote for her either. i can't stand her

9:14 am

RuPaul for president then?

9:14 am

AHnold lol

9:15 am

Who is RuPaul?

9:15 am

drag queen kal

9:15 am

google rupaul kallia

9:15 am

oh lol

9:16 am

who i actually am a fan of

9:17 am

i have 95 left and have come to a screeching hault

9:17 am

I think he/she is a hoot

9:17 am

agreed ruru

9:17 am

very smart, very funny, and probably very talented

9:18 am

exactly ruru

9:18 am

who is that drag queen wit the lavender wig and funny glasses?

9:18 am

Dame Lady Edna

9:19 am

looked him up, seems like he is very funny

9:19 am

who is wickedly funny

9:19 am

YES another great one ty ruru couldn't think of her name

9:19 am

no Lady Ru....she's a DAME ...funny

9:20 am

94 left gtg will be back

9:20 am

later MLF

9:21 am

'm off too, 56 left bye Molly and Ru

9:21 am

bye kallia

9:21 am

wow .. we discussed politics and the world didn't end.. imagine that

9:27 am

9:30 am

9:31 am

Clue please? I did not understand prior clues.

9:31 am

9:32 am

TY!

9:32 am

Clue for co8?

9:32 am

do you know about pizarro's co8 of the incas?

9:33 am

No.

9:33 am

9:33 am

But Google will help.

9:33 am

Got it.

9:34 am

Hi folksies

9:34 am

Arf,bichon.

9:34 am

was going to say sexual co8 but thought that's over the top

how about the norman co8?

9:35 am

the co8adors from spain

9:35 am

(including pizarro)

9:36 am

I would have gotten your clue, Ru : D And the Procol Harum mention

or divide and co...change from a verb into a noun?

9:37 am

Pizarro sounds like an odd shaped pizza joint

OR...con +qu5/16?

9:37 am

don't forget the est TO ;D

against qu5/18?

9:38 am

or just the definition. when an army defeats another kingdom, it's a co8

9:38 am

Hello Gang

9:45 am

ah thanks

9:45 am

i guess they mean, life was fine pr11 (before the normans came barging in)

9:45 am

oh geez

those damned normans. they always disrupt my plans.

9:46 am

Or Cortez left Spain

9:47 am

those normans can't play a lick of instruments though hego

9:48 am

they just don't Rockwell :D

9:48 am

grooooaaaan!

9:48 am

LOL

9:49 am

cortes left this guy in charge while he went back to the coast to meet another expedition that was arriving. while he was gone, the guy he left in charge said, sure, go ahead and celebrate your important festival in the square. while they were celebrating, he closed off the square and massacred everyone in it.

9:49 am

that one took a minute to set up

9:50 am

I see that.

9:50 am

(no reason to think cortes would have disapproved, just, can't specifically pin it on him)

9:50 am

Hmmm.....

9:51 am

this second in charge guy sounds a little volatile

9:52 am

Cortez to second in charge: Madre Dia! I leave for a minute to go to the store and ...

9:52 am

Ju crazy mon?

10:50 am

Leslie, Meat'd ex also sang in the background of some of his early music

10:50 am

Number 9...Number 9...Number 9

10:50 am

oh gosh, forgot about that molly

Too much acid... too much acid... too much acid.

10:51 am

Yes number 9!

10:51 am

I get the ex part, but who is Meat'd

10:52 am

is the ex of meat a vegan?

10:52 am

Meat's sorry typo

10:52 am

Meat???

10:52 am

actually ML Didn't eat meat for a while

10:52 am

Number 9 was 'supposed' to say 'turn me on, dead man' backwards and Strawberry Fields (at the end) was supposed to have John saying 'I buried Pau'. All rubbish!

10:53 am

Was just reading that, Jacula!

10:53 am

but got alot of attention jacula

10:53 am

my screenname in here Molly ML

10:53 am

And what ever possessed someone to want to play an album backwards anyway?

10:53 am

I didn't think any of those messages were ever on the albums.

10:53 am

Were you? Well now you know. LOL

10:53 am

divorce lawyer to Leslie: " do you think it should be irreconcilable differences" Leslie: I think it's a bunch of baloney

10:53 am

LSD Judi

10:54 am

Quite a few bands did, MLF.

10:54 am

jac ah t

10:54 am

10:54 am

I think there were a few bands that hid messages in their records. Just a gimmack I suppose.

10:55 am

I can not spell today. Sorry guys.

10:55 am

just like misunderstood lyrics

10:55 am

Those rubbish rumors about secret messages must have come from the recording studios. Who else would have had the technology to reverse the playback back then.

10:55 am

It's okay Zoom. It put "Jimmy Mack" in my head.

10:56 am

back then? cant they do it now?

10:56 am

ooh jimmy oooh jimmy mack when are you coming back

10:56 am

oh jimmy mack when are you coming back...alallalala

10:56 am

Judi - you could play (reel-to-reel) tapes backwards then, and handturn a turntable to do the same with a record.

10:56 am

LOL SNAP

10:56 am

great song ivesy

10:56 am

zooz you can spell you just can't type

11:00 am

Very much liked George in the Travelling Willburys as well.

11:00 am

11:01 am

I just saw the video of Prince and Tom Petty doing "while my Guitar gently weeps" I think that's my favorite song from George

11:01 am

George was better after The Beatles. Paul and Ringo, not so much.

11:01 am

I have MLF, but I'm going to have to stop and go and cook dinner now. BBL

11:01 am

Oh I love the Travelling Willburys!

11:02 am

*GASP* Blaspheme, Molly!

11:02 am

Molly not a fan of Silly Love Songs?

11:02 am

Bye, Jacula :-)

11:02 am

11:02 am

Gag...no, not a fan of Silly Love Songs

11:02 am

that song would get in my head and not leave!

11:02 am

11:02 am

11:03 am

Mull of kingtyre, Mlf.

11:04 am

oh see? didn't even know:)

11:04 am

Band on the run drove me nuts too

11:05 am

ivesy a lot of the Beatle's songs are kind of cutesy

11:05 am

ObladiOhblada

11:05 am

How about Paul McCartney frogs chorus LOL

11:05 am

Yes. Paul went through a real sell-out phase with some of that crap.

11:05 am

true, but as band i could take it later on drove me nuts

11:05 am

he and Steve Miller

11:06 am

And Elton John

11:07 am

ohhh let's all sing Crocodile Rock now......anyone up for it?:)

11:07 am

Do not wish to upset anyone but i am not a huge fan of Elton John. I like some of his songs but not many.

11:07 am

american pie!!

11:07 am

his first album was pretty solid zooz then he went commercial and stupid

11:08 am

Blah. Most of Elton John's songs depress me now. Lot of schlock really.

11:08 am

true

11:08 am

Elton - the Liberace of pop.

11:08 am

true

11:09 am

zooz I am not a huge fan of his either. I like him and his some of his songs but I don't own any of them unless if I have a soundtrack to something with a song of his on it. The one song I hate from him Is Can You Feel the Love Tonight

11:10 am

judi well, could Liberace sing?

11:10 am

Elton John was on Nashville this week. He looks old and sounds like crap.

11:10 am

No, but he dressed to the nines!

11:10 am

I can't listen to his crap anymore .. its almost as bad as abba

11:10 am

no but he could swing!!

11:11 am

literally ivesy

11:11 am

Elton in Nashville. Desperate for attention?

11:11 am

only loves the popular songs of Abba:)

11:11 am

Hey you leave Abba out of this, Ruru!!

11:11 am

LOL

11:11 am

molly he performed on the show?

11:11 am

i like some of abbas song

11:11 am

Well he was on the TV show Nashville. I don't know if they actually film there.

11:12 am

yes they do film in Tennesseee

11:12 am

Oh no! An Abba lover. I think an intervention is in order.

11:12 am

amen judi

11:12 am

:-)

11:12 am

Zooz... the first step is admitting you have a problem.

11:12 am

I'd rather have my eardrums gouged out than listen to that junk

11:12 am

I still need to get the movie soundtrack

11:12 am

LOL

11:12 am

I have a friend who swears that ABBA is on the muzak in Hell

11:13 am

ruru you are not a Dancing Queen young and free?

11:13 am

Sounds like someone was trapped in an elevator for far too long.

11:14 am

Bat out of hell was a good album but nothing for me after that.

11:18 am

11:18 am

11:18 am

11:18 am

11:19 am

Zooz is concerned about zooz too!

11:19 am

11:19 am

11:19 am

We all have our own opinions, ruru. and that is yours :-)

11:19 am

11:20 am

it's the waterboarding of records

11:20 am

LOL

11:20 am

Enjoy your meal, Ivesy :-)

11:20 am

Ask anyone who is in a band that plays weddings. Some people have no taste in music. You know what the top two requests are for wedding bands? The Macarena and The Chicken Dance. Sad, terribly sad.

11:20 am

if they play abba at Guantanamo they'd get all the info they need

11:21 am

I thought Obama was getting that place closed down within a year of taking office?

11:21 am

Oh I hate those songs too, Molly.

11:21 am

It's probably in the Geneva convention to not play abba albums though.. too cruel

11:22 am

Small problem of what to do with the terrorists when they close it down, Zooz.

11:22 am

Molly sad truth in what you just said

11:23 am

and doesn't the twist get played a lot as well?

11:23 am

I have an answer for that judi

11:23 am

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me.

11:24 am

But I won't feel blue.

11:24 am

'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you.

11:24 am

Altogether now!

11:24 am

*puts a thermometer up Zooz's butt*

11:24 am

Yeah, me too, Ru. I think a swift burial at sea ala Osama Bin Laden would suffice.

11:25 am

Black white red yellow and blue I love you ...

11:25 am

yeah.. that's what I was thinking .. take them half way home and dump them in the ocean

11:25 am

Obama closing down Guantanamo....ahahahahaha!!!

11:26 am

Wonder if trump will keep it open.

11:26 am

When he gets in soon.

11:26 am

he's going to turn it into a tack casino

11:26 am

tacky

11:27 am

The Cubans could have really cheap labor for cigar making.

11:27 am

The America haters must love what's happening in our political system lately. Lots to laugh at.

11:27 am

no kidding molly the whole thing is one big joke

11:28 am

I am NOT an American hater yet I still hate what is happening to your politacal system.

11:28 am

Political*

12:56 pm

That is the board code for Who's On Line

12:57 pm

If you right click Who's On Line and then click on Inspect, you will see that line of code

1:03 pm

she probably pasted it in from there?

1:05 pm

She would have had to copy it there and then paste it in chat. Not sure how you do that accidentally.

1:06 pm

I've seen it before.. probably copy and then hit enter and poof there it is

1:06 pm

Politics? People speaking in tongues? Sheesh! Who are you people & what did you do with 'normal (!) Babblers?

1:07 pm

(don't get me started on NORMAL babblers)

1:07 pm

We're hiding under the bed.

Normal babblers...ahahahahaha!!

1:10 pm

1:12 pm

Of course, coming from this part of the world, (rapidly descending into a banana republic) I am in no position to criticise American politics.

1:12 pm

Sure you are! No problem.

1:12 pm

We deserve it.

1:13 pm

in this election.. the USA isn't immune to criticism

1:13 pm

Lol Hego. Thank you. (I like it here, under the bed).

1:14 pm

heehee

1:14 pm

I like to do things on top of the bed.. but that's just me

1:14 pm

Be adventurous Ru

1:14 pm

always

1:15 pm

I don't need to get under a bed to do that

1:15 pm

I can't spell since I play this game.

1:15 pm

Lol, Ruru. But seriously, folks.... Mr Trump??? Will he be your next POTUS?

1:16 pm

I know.. isn't it anaoi-ing hego?

Gawd soodle I hope not

1:16 pm

I'm moving to Canada if he is soodle

1:16 pm

Me too, Ru

1:16 pm

then I can criticize America from afar

1:17 pm

Really Ru? You think you have a problem with taxes now? Just wait.

Me too...or maybe Mexico, it's warmer

1:17 pm

We've got some nice friends up there, Why not.

duty

free clue!

1:18 pm

free blah words coming now

1:18 pm

YAY!

you're welcome, or perhaps I should say, de nada

1:18 pm

You see, apart from leggy blondes, I haven't come across one single American who has admitted to supporting him. Yet he is storming ahead. It's puzzling to watch from afar.

1:19 pm

I don't think anyone needs to be concerned about Trump. This is all a set up to get Clinton in The White House. Just like McCain was a set up to get Obama in The White House.

it's puuzling to watch from here

1:19 pm

he's just racist enough to hit a raw nerve in this nation soodle

1:20 pm

Unfortunately, America is full of conservative Republicans who are sick of 8 years of a liberal Democrat.

1:20 pm

You think, Molly? Thats interesting.

1:20 pm

He's storming ahead in his own party only because he had no strong opposition.

you've hit that nail on the head, molly.

McCain would probably have been fine. But he hosed himself when he picked Palin for his running mate.

1:21 pm

yup

that is exactly what is occurring. and ditto that, blah.

1:21 pm

Yes, and picking Palin for a running mate assured an Obama election. That was just too weird to not be some kind of strange plan.

a purely political move that backfired miserably.

1:21 pm

8 years of a liberal democrat who was not allowed to do a damn thing.

yup TO

1:22 pm

So..... Straw poll. Who do you guys think will be the next occupant of the Oval Office? (See? - 3 series of House of Cards was not wasted on THIS Babbler)....

1:22 pm

Oh dear God, it is sad that people think the President is "not allowed" to do things.

and now back to gridding. would rather be griddling. or grilling.

ooh, a new conspiracy theory! GOP picks Palin so the Dems will win! (Really?)

1:23 pm

TO, me too

1:23 pm

seriously

did anyone watch the LBJ movie on hbo? now there was a man who could get things done.

Maybe "not allowed" is not the right term. But our government is specifically set up with checks and balances, and no branch has complete power.

1:24 pm

I will see it today.

and some say, who set the stage for the descent into extreme partisanship.

1:24 pm

Love Bryan Cranston.

1:24 pm

ne 5/10?

obama has gotten a LOT done.

1:24 pm

Ne & not bottom, Mil

1:24 pm

I agree owl

1:25 pm

I wish it could have been more TO.

we are fighting over who used what restroom and who can marry whom while attention is diverted, look at what we are doing in the world.

agree TO, especially given a very partisan congress.

1:25 pm

soodle no the other one I have that one diff one is a 5/10 the other is a 5/12

1:25 pm

hello all. just got halfway

1:26 pm

hi harry

1:26 pm

O'Bama came here & absolutely charmed everyone. I don't know much about American politics, but he won hearts here!

1:26 pm

and nbs. hi ml

1:26 pm

I think we need to educate our children better.

you don't have to live with what he as forced us to live with.

1:27 pm

yes soodle, he is a charmer. very well spoken and presented

1:27 pm

that is what I like about him.. believable

1:27 pm

He is an intelligent, educated cultured gentleman.

1:28 pm

I won't be surprised if Trump wins.. it won't be the first time he's tossed a black family out of their home

1:28 pm

I agree hego.

polar opposite of Trump

lol ru, sad but true

1:28 pm

yup

but hey, now we know exact;y how much sugar is in our processed food. life is good.

1:28 pm

But he has really messed things up for a lot of people. And I'm not sure if I can say "with all good intentions"

1:29 pm

That really is important, though.

1:29 pm

My favorite Obama thing is he got rid of Bin Laden

HH, I think you can say that about any president/politician, depending on your POV

1:30 pm

I must go fold laundry. The thought of election day utterly depresses me.

1:30 pm

Sadly, whoever gets elected, will not come equipped with a magic wand. After all the hoo-hah of victory etc, the business of governing a huge country will have to be addressed. And that's not going to be easy.

yes. i look forward to an early evening of music and beer.

Nothing like a light Sunday afternoon chat, lol

and dancing.

sounds like a great plan TO!

last week this time we were on the way to brooklyn. closer to home today

So true soodle, not to mention getting along with the rest of the world.

1:31 pm

te7?

1:32 pm

You had me at music & beer, TO. You can keep the dancing.

rockabilly

1:32 pm

Yay for beer and music!!

so listening is an real option

1:33 pm

I wish I could drink beer..I like dark beers

1:33 pm

de 6/21 pls

guilty pleasure: drinking wine and dancing along to great music by myself.

1:33 pm

de6 was left on de-post-it bichon

it's great exercise :)

does this ever happen to anyone else? words are in two successive grids and i will think i have entered them today becaise i did yesterday!

1:34 pm

I sometimes think that people don't understand the way American government works. Congress (who are elected representatives, elected by the people) and override a Presidential decision. So "poor little Barry" has merely been shot down by those put in office to keep him in check. Charming? Sure. Does that make a good President? Not at all.

1:34 pm

I need the second de 6/21

1:34 pm

*can override

1:34 pm

de 6 is where de-cub scouts sleep

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

te 7, pls ,pls

de4/6 & 5/14 for example today

And the president (also elected by the people) can veto congressional proposals.

1:36 pm

lol. ty Ru, I would have gone quite mad.

Like I said...checks and balances. Civics 101.

1:37 pm

Exactly Blah. As you said, checks and balances. So I don't know why people keep whining about how Barry was "not allowed to do anything". Unless it is just sheep following what the media says.

which is why a trump presidency, while hard to take, would be tempered by checks and balances. as would a clinton presidency. et al

I think we're in violent agreement molly! as I said before, "not allowed" is probably not the right term.

1:38 pm

Let's hope so.

exactly TO

barry has done a lot. not where needed.

1:40 pm

who is barry?

Barry. as molly says.

1:41 pm

Barry is what a lot of people call Obama.

1:42 pm

Wasn't it a childhood name?

yes and may still be a name for friends.

1:42 pm

No college

1:44 pm

you'd think they'd call him Racky

or maybe bracky...

1:45 pm

lol

1:46 pm

Well, he is certainly not going to go by his middle name.

1:46 pm

or Yo-Mama

or who's your daddy?

1:47 pm

I just want to call him gone from The White House. What an embarrassment the past 8 years have been.

1:48 pm

well.. it won't be long molly

1:48 pm

I wonder if Canada could loan us Trudeau for 4 years?

1:50 pm

Molly, who do you think could have done a better job? Romney?

And if Trump becomes president (gag) which the Republicans seem to wish, we will look back thru different eyes at President Obama...maybe even President Bush. Talk about an embarrassment...

1:52 pm

We're going to sell our house and move to Israel

1:52 pm

Not a chance, ruru. We had Harper for FAR too long

1:52 pm

Don't blame you a bit, Bugs.

or Sarah Palin? There

Or Sarah Palin? There's another embarrassment.

1:55 pm

I don't think anyone nominated could have done a better job. The problem with American politics is that decent candidates don't get nominated.

1:56 pm

I don't believe that anyone who says they are going to move if Trump gets elected will actually do it. So if you do, check in and let me know I was wrong.

1:56 pm

What's decent in our eyes, isn't likeable to all those bozos who want to make America great again

1:57 pm

I have a religious and cultural attachment to Israel. Only problem, Mr. Bich won't go with me.

1:58 pm

I can't blame Mr. Bich. You may not like American politics but moving to a war torn country is a tough alternative.

1:59 pm

It always looks war torn from here. But I'm not sure if I want to move there with the religious far right running the country

2:00 pm

The religious far right runs Israel too.

2:00 pm

Just a different religion.

2:00 pm

That's what I said.

2:02 pm

But in Israel I always feel at home

2:02 pm

I find the middle east scary as hell.

Have you been to Israel bichon? (honest question...I have never been there, and wonder what it's like for visitors these days.)

2:03 pm

But, I've lived there, and I feel differently

2:03 pm

She recently returned.

2:03 pm

I agree about the Middle East being scary as hell. I know someone who is in the Israeli army and what she tells me makes me wonder why anyone would want to live there.

2:04 pm

Didn't realize you'd lived there.

2:04 pm

I live there for over a year [long ago] and have relatives

2:04 pm

Talking to one person doesn't tell the whole truth.

2:07 pm

Really Bich? Someone who is fighting for the Israeli people is not telling the truth?

do you think things may have changed there since you lived there if it was a long time ago, bich?

2:10 pm

I think i will stay in nice safe napa instead of the middle east

2:11 pm

My son has lived in Israel for 20 years now, and has six young children. We visit when we can. I worry a lot because they do use the buses in Jerusalem, and my grandchildren will serve in the army someday... but you go on with your routines, and do your normal things there, because life has to go forward....

2:13 pm

I visited Isreal in the late 80's - a time when tensions were very high in this country. I found ( probably becauce

2:13 pm

I read many Daniel Silva books and I do admire israelis. But for me, still scary.

2:14 pm

ruru, always cherish the thought that you live in a beautiful place. Israel is where it is and where the Israelis call home.

2:14 pm

because of unfamialiarity), things very very tense there.

2:14 pm

When you live there, it doesn't feel dangerous.

2:18 pm

Wow, I can't imagine raising six young children in a country where bombs go off on a regular basis.

2:21 pm

When the 'Troubles' were at their height in N Ireland, I spent very many happy weekends up there. Right up to the day that a bomb was placed under the car of the Dad of a chap I was seeing.

hnnn... the p words are the slowest, with d right behind them, for me.

2:30 pm

I think Ireland is a beautiful country. But I would never live there (no offense Soodle) simply because I could not in all good conscience live in a country that England thought they owned the upper half of.

2:30 pm

TO - I've been tricking around with this grid since the flip & I still have over 100 to find. An unpleasant grid

it went ok for the first 190 or so

2:31 pm

we have bombs go off here in the USA.. we seem to raise kids ok?

deciding whether to wait to finish.

2:33 pm

Not on the regular basis that bombs go off in Israel, Ru. We don't live in a country where there is an active war going on.

2:33 pm

that's true

2:33 pm

but none of lives in Oakland

and so much smaller. every incident is closer to home

2:34 pm

either

2:34 pm

that's true too TO

2:34 pm

Point taken Molly. But an awful lot of blood has been shed to get us where we are now. I, for one, am extremely proud of those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Irish freedom. But I don't want to see any more blood spilled.

2:35 pm

I don't think any of us realized what a peace time country we live in until September 11th happened.

2:36 pm

Oh, I don't want to see any more blood shed either Soodle. I just don't understand why England thinks they should own a part of a country that is not theirs.

2:38 pm

Molly - to get an answer to that, you must travel back 500 + years.

at least you don't have susan rice. we can ship her over to you....

2:39 pm

Well yes and no. 500 years is when it was taken. Why they are still there now is present day.

2:40 pm

And I'm not trying to fuss with you Soodle. I think you and I are in agreement that all of Ireland should belong to the Irish people.

2:43 pm

for sure Molly. Absolutely. But, with respect, its just not as simple as 'Brits Out'. Theres other considerations. None of which are appropriate to this forum. I will happily debate the issue with you by email.

re 10, pls

3:35 pm

I've lived in Israel. I'm taking my whole family there for 3.5 weeks this summer. I feel safer there than anywhere in the US.

3:35 pm

True Harry, but I think that only those of us who have lived there can understand

3:37 pm

When I was younger I was stupid, and went places I shouldn't have gone, and probably could have been killed. But I try to teach my kids to be smarter.

3:37 pm

What Harry said

3:38 pm

in the Negev] we drove to Hebron to shop.I lived in Arad

3:40 pm

There were times when you could go to these cities without worrying. Jews and Arabs worked together and shopped at each other's stores. Not that long ago.

3:40 pm

This was in the late 60's. Certainly not now.

3:41 pm

All those parents in Sandy Hook sent their first graders off to school and 20 of them didn't return. Nice, safe Sandy Hook

3:42 pm

I'm thinking 70s.

3:42 pm

Thst can happen anywhere.

3:42 pm

Maniacs abound

3:43 pm

But you're right. Safety is an illusion.

3:43 pm

I have no 9 10 or 11 - are they related?

3:44 pm

Neither do I

3:44 pm

pls clue Harry

3:47 pm

homophone as commander in chief of USA

3:47 pm

or homonym. I never quite got those straight

3:47 pm

sorry, don't understand

3:47 pm

... or something which comes before

3:48 pm

If I gave it away, I'd set a bad pr9 for future cluers

3:48 pm

I am lost

3:48 pm

... ooooh

3:48 pm

ty Harry and dose

3:49 pm

Homphone...sounds same but different in meaning. Harry's first clue was homophone of President

3:49 pm

re 10, pls

3:49 pm

I didn't know Obama is gay

3:50 pm

Sorry, didn't mean to get in the way of Bichon's clue requests.

3:51 pm

so what's a homonym?

3:51 pm

*gets paper towels*

3:51 pm

Or did I just make up that word?

3:51 pm

<---Got the joke. Is quite sure no one else did.

3:51 pm

I got the joke. I laughed on the inside.

3:51 pm

read and read are homonyms

3:52 pm

oh! got it - ty bichon

3:52 pm

I got it

3:53 pm

one of my cousins was a homonymph.. but that's something entirely different

3:53 pm

Sorry Harry, homophones and homonyms are the same thing.

3:53 pm

so homophone and homonym are synonyms?

3:53 pm

very different

3:54 pm

lol Harry.

3:54 pm

grrrr

3:56 pm

Actually they are not. Homonym...same spelling, different meaning. Suit yourself/he wore a suit. Homophone...words that sound alike...affect/effect. Then there are homographs...desert/abandon...desert/a\nrea of land.

3:56 pm

dough and dough

3:57 pm

This is why I gave up on grammar back in grammar school. Note my clever use of homographs. Which I've never even heard of before. (sorry - of which I've never even heard before)

3:59 pm

We used to diagram sentences in 9th grade, ugh

3:59 pm

re 10, pls

3:59 pm

Diagramming sentences is one of the WORST ways to teach language.

4:00 pm

Not according to Mr. Duffy [who still lived at home with his mother]

4:01 pm

100 words to go!

4:02 pm

sorry bichon, I have no 10 or 11.

4:05 pm

4:06 pm

4:06 pm

People like Mr. Duffy are why kids learned to hate grammar.

4:06 pm

Hi everyone - crashed early last niht, so just sarting out

4:07 pm

Good luck Nan :)

4:07 pm

And the nun I had in eighth grade who made us diagram sentences.

4:07 pm

The funny thing was, I was actually good at it. I could se Mr. Duffy at St. someones school having a nun drill it into him

4:08 pm

Someone open a window. Nan is sarting. : P

4:11 pm

4:24 pm

aah ty molly - got me the 10 and 11

4:25 pm

mmm - wondering why the norman invasion specifically

4:25 pm

Maybe Norman was Mr. Duffy's first name

4:26 pm

ty

4:26 pm

thought that was Patrick Duffy -- if you are talking about our disgraced senator

4:26 pm

don't know any other duffy

4:26 pm

wasn't patrcik duffy on Dallas?

4:27 pm

oops - no -- it is mike duffy

4:27 pm

sorry nan - mlfan was talking about an old teacher of hers named mr. duffy

4:27 pm

still don't understand the norman invasion clue

4:28 pm

Yes, Patrick Duffy/American actor was on Dallas

4:28 pm

preconquest

4:28 pm

molly is doomed to spend eternity in the penalty box

4:29 pm

it is well-stocked with fire and brimstone.

4:29 pm

and she will occupy herself diagramming sentences for 14 hours each day.

4:30 pm

was trying to find another word for invasion

4:33 pm

80 to go. I will come back to list later. dinner time

4:33 pm

enjoy

4:48 pm

What the Norman's did into England was not referred to as an invasion. It is called The Norman Conquest. I used invasion as a clue because it means the same thing.

8:00 pm

I am not aiming to finish, just to relax before I go to bed.

8:02 pm

good attitude. i am unfortunately one of those who HAS to finish. everything isn't sorted if i haven't finished. my brain is wired like that with everything. can be a bit of a trial at times.

8:06 pm

I used to do that when I first started in 2006 and for the first few years. I would stay up til midnight and beg for clues. Now I finish small grid and otherwise aim to pass halfway. My life is busy.

8:06 pm

okay. have finished zapping the nerve in my knee. time to face my day. hope you have sweet dreams, scrabs. xoxox

8:06 pm

8:23 pm

Hi Crossy and Une

8:23 pm

What long weekend do you have? Next weekend is Memorial Day for us although I am on call for the holiday.

8:23 pm

Seems to be tons of Americans this time around.seemed to have spent half my life in my dairy dept. telling people that no, we do not sell milk in gallons and quarts, and no, we are not hiding any in the back. Yes, we went metric in 1978, yes, we sell milk in 4 lit bags and not just cartons. :)

8:25 pm

Hi folks

8:26 pm

One woman was so fascinated about our 4 lit. bags of milk that she made me show her the pitchers we use with them

8:26 pm

Howdy origami :)

8:26 pm

Hi origami

8:27 pm

This is the May 24 long weekend, scrabby

8:27 pm

Where are you working now crossy?

8:27 pm

or Victoria day

8:27 pm

I enjoy crossing the border to Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, or Niagara on the Lake. Especially the latter as it feels very European.

8:29 pm

I am taking care of a dairy dept. in a local big box store. Man, after 3 years of my butt sitting in a chair doing academia, i have discovered that i am sadly out of shape!

8:29 pm

You will become a better hiker.
