WTG
nice easy grid tonight
new in8 to me
FW. That was easyish,
good morning all
{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite. how was your night?
*hugs rose* Hello dear friend :) It was ok. Dreams still very intense but not as horrible. How was your day?
good thanx. pain minimal. went out for meeting with vicar, youth worker, and others on the field committee.
am so glad, darling. It is great that you are in less pain most days :) How did the meeting go?
did you manage yesterday okay? you had several tasks to get through.
it went well. and my choice of fellow committee members has proved correct. young Tim (30) put in some very useful info.
yeah it was a bit muchish. And it ended in another fight with son, sigh. He can be such an ass. It is his birthday tomorrow. I received his wish list 3 days ago, and I haven't been able to do much with it. My heart isn't it in, tbh. He makes it so hard.
aw good :D
phantom: innovator
oh, sweetie. i so understand. when they acting so mean it is hard to think generously and buy them gifts.
what was he acting up about this time?
that is exactly it. Also, I have been asking for his wish list for over a month. I need TIME to find something good, y'know?
i know. and he thinks you will just pop down the street and find what he is asking for. * eye roll*
it was about his wish list. I reached out to take it, then he went and took it back, started writing on it, while I was waiting to be able to take it. Then, when he was done... he put it down on the table, just out of my reach. You know I cannot move easily, with my rotten pelvic girdle. I kept my hand out for the list, and he gave it to me... then said "is there something wrong with your arm?" I said 'No, with my pelvic girdle." And Rob was mad at him about being such a dense ass and off we went.
oh dear!! i can just picture it.
how did Caya go with the car and her german exam?
yeah and on that list there are things like 'portable box'. Right. As if I know what that is. Do you think a cardboard box from the grocery store will do? :D
roflol. try it and see what his reaction is...
omg rose... Caya made only 1 mistake in the whole exam! And she did great driving, and taking her friends through the rain without them getting wet :D
it is a box and it is portable
well done Caya!! not only beautiful but clever to boot. xoxox
hehehe so sweet... one of her friends told her to say to me: Thank you for letting Caya take the car so that we could go to the exam in style". Priceless kids.
she is, rose. She is scary talented and with a beautiful character too.
how lovely! what lovely manners.
ikr! Very sweet.
the rotten thing is, Tim has a beautiful character too. But he can still be such an ass, as if he is still a hormone-driven clueless teenager.
i am so excited. new door being installed tomorrow morning... at 8am... aaagghhh!
eeeek how early. But yay for the door coming so soon.
don has taken the before photos.
ah great. Looking forward to see the before and after ones.
and the merbau looks gorgeous. don is doing such a wonderful job.
oh, remember the friend I told you about, who received 3 miracles and then declared not to believe in them and that those who do are only driven by fear?
yay for Don too!
yes i do honey...
I wrote to her yesterday. A very gentle and kind mail, in which I explained my own reactions and feelings and also stipulated we couldn't work together this way. It feels good to have done it.
good for you sprite. a very necessary thing well done. i am glad you have done it.
me too. Thanks for your support, honey.
phantom: orrery
yes, and (sp) ornery
right. That one too.
erotoy - fun item used during sex
like my purple thingy??
like those :D
put it in.... not the purple thingy, the word
ok will do
caya has her last exam today. Biology. That is a tough one, but as far as we can see she has done a great job on all the others.
the chat is kind of sexy tonight
hiya gemini, yes it is :)
;)
oops.... ahem.... hi gemini *blushing, just a tad mind*
I needed a smile!
hey a bit of eroticism is healthy for a person
thank heavens ruru isn't here. he would be having a ball.
he has two, to be precise
oh no, that didn't come out right, did it?
LOLOLOL
oh, a smile... here's what I overheard from kids playing outside my garden... I think they were about 4 years old. "I am the man so I get to wear nail polish." "Girls wear nail polish, not men!" "No men!" "Girls!" "No, men, because girls are beautiful already, and men are... men!"
smart boy
*giggle* that is so sweet. and that kid is well on his way to being our next casanova
isn't he just! I stood there smiling and also melting a little bit
oh where is our Liz? Da5/18 is a word she knows so well but hardly ever sees written... so she tends to miss it in grids :)
where is she indeed? i don't think she was here earlier.
fireflies. Last word: na5/16. New one for me. Tough job for my monkeys *breaks out a cardboard box of bananas* (hey, that box could come in handy tomorrow!)
WTG SPRITE!!!
*giggle* SPRITE!!! don't you dare tempt fate...
thanks darling. *hugs* to you and hardworking Don. Good luck with the installation of the new door! And lots of love as always. Sleep well. gemini, have a grand day!
xoxox sprite. hope you can enjoy your day.
Morning all - may I have stats for the Q please?
qu 5/16
Thanking you muchly :)
Hello Babblers.
hello
first pass, half
How are you today, ruby?
how are you, Scrabs?
Good morning all
I slept well so feel well.
hello Sukee!
Hi sukee
Happy day today, wearing my shorts :)
It is still cold enough here to need a fire every morning
Hi Ruby, Scrabs
Crazy weather for May!
We are having a stretch of very hot weather here.
shorts? If anybody saw me in shorts, she'd faint!
:)
Just be comfortable, ruby.
My megs look like toothpicks!
legs*
I probably don't looks as good in them as I think but I don't care :)
I like all the layers; they make me look almost human
a burka would work well
my son is still here, leaving toimorrow
yay!!!!
Has he enjoyed his stay?
Giving you grief?
aeon
I guess you are glad he is leaving?
sorry
Ty ruby, I didn't have that :)
Give us an 8, ruby.
it's been awful, AGAIN!
naoi
I need one, too
Haha, look what I did. Free clues from me and Ruby!
Great when I am just starting out :)
ty for tht obscure n
What made the visit awful?
Thanks for making me smuile; it's been pretty grim
It's a Babblet.
whatever I say, the ansxer
is "no"
He is a guest in your home and he is being rude?
he acts more like 13 than 52!
yes
Then why welcome him back?
Well, that is up to you.
It will be a long time! I thought he was coming bcause he was worried aboutmy health but I was wrong
Ah, did he just want a nice vacation in France?
I think he wanted to go through my husband's things and make sure that I'm moving my dreaded fisc proble in the right direction
Have you guys seen the woman with the Chewbacca mask? Hilarious. She is all over US TV now.
Did he do that?
Yes, sukee, I saw that. She is funny.
This was no vacatioin for him as he was just in Europe last month with his wife. THAT was a vacation
She was on the Late, Late Show last night.
I'll try to find it on YouTube later
I think what made it go viral was because Peter Mayhew commented on the original.
That woman is full of joy and unrestrained laughter. I like people like that.
I will make you laugh ruby
I'm glad he took some clothes as I've been trying to get rid of stuff
I coyuld certainlyuse a laugh....
Well, I hate to do it but I have to go get ready to go out :)
bye sukee, I'm sorry to be such a whiner!
You both have a good day.
That is okay ruby, you have to vent :)
Bye sukee
Yes, ruby, you may vent here.
((scrab))
ruby what are you venting about?
Hi bichon
my son's visit
Happily, he's leaving tomorrow
Okay, completely understand
Morning all
morning car
hi all
Hi Car--3 wks post-op today.How do you feel?
Hi Peri
hello car and peri
O
I'm ok. some bad days, but mostly good. Endo visit today.
you are very thoughtful to ask...and keep tabs!
Get extra sleep and do not push yourself too much.
<-- didn't even know, sorry ((car))
LOL...my dad said the exact same thing to me yesterday...a retired surgeon!
Ruby, no worries.
Sorry, car, for bringing it up here.
NOt a problem for me.
This is the best place -- friendliest, safest, most caring!!
Thank you, Ruby, but not all feel that way and would prefer I not discuss it.
And I must hop in the shower and get to work--Indian Reservation, then local school for sports physical exams, then a few hours off, then evening session at the office...on a beautiful, sunny day when I would rather hike in the woods.
Ugh. How did the on call weekend go?
((Car))
So no discussions of health, politics, religion, relationships -- are those the new parameters?
Migraine disappeared Saturday evening. Overall quiet weekend.
Bye kids!
Good I'm glad. HAGD Scrabs!
bye scrabs
I think that anybody too sensitive for open discussion, should just turn off the chat!
I have always found this chog to be one of support and comfort for those who need it, so you can talk about anything you want to me!
exactly
So, Ruby, because you asked, I had thyroid cancer and had to have my thyroid out, which turned out to be a good idea because there was more growing.
i chat very seldom, but have always thought the people here are, as Ruby said, the best and caring. No one should be allowed to put parameters on that.
Thank you, Ladycece
Thank you and Hello, Ladycece
and, btw, glad you are doing better car.
Thank you! Honestly, I could not have made it through without Scrabs! She was so supportive and encouraging. A wonderful doctor and person!
hi Ruby
Ruby, how are you feeling these days? I know you hve been having quite a rough time.
Hi all
Hi Lizlin
Hi Car - just read about your op - hope you're feeling better and making a good recovery.
TY Liz....slow and steady
Will find out today if I need further treatment
These O' are vexing me today
Slow and steady is good - take all the time you need. Hope that you get the results that you're hoping for.
ty :)
Down to my last few now and have resorted to more words - too tired to think. Have had a stressful few days - nothing serious though (at least not for us)
Oh dear...anything I can help with?
And can't see words even with looking! en 6/18 pls - probably obvious but can't find it!
I have the en + the base of a tree / plant
well, how about the main dish of a meal?
Duh! Thanks! I knew it was obvious!
I hope things quiet down for you and you can relax and rest.
Should be easier from tomorrow - thanks.
good!
But even better from next week!
Hope your kids are being helpful and supportive to you.
Eh...things were good for about a week...
Kids are kdis!
*kids
Oh dear - kids will be kids!
They were so scared when I got home. I looked like frankenstein.
Self centred little creatures!
That's quite an image!
I went from frankenstein's monster to a pez dispenser.
Hmmm! Interesting. Can't quite imagine you as a pez dispenser.
I try to keep it "fresh" ...LOL
na 6 pls - and did you find your o's? I have them.
LOL
I need the 2 center O's please.
Looking for na 6 for you....
I think one is or 4 - with a vowel at the end
or 4/4 that should've read.
Yes! That was the center O..tyvm
fourth column or 4/5
The other is or 4/5 - or + most of not subtract
tyvm!
yw
Found the na 6 - similar to a word to do with the sea but different first letter
Yup...just found it!
Does anyone have stats for the O in the second column?
hello
oy 4/6
Thank you!
Hi Trif, Matty and Byz
So I now have nbt but not the 7 or 8
nova
sorry!!
Do you want a stat or clue?
Can we start with stats and also whether it's a common word, and I'll go from there?
Hi Trif

Hi Matty

And, Byz, good morning to you!

Hi Car! How's everyone doing today? Shortly I shall go and buy a lawnmower, some bathroom shelves and milk
What a selection!
that might be the worlds most interesting list, matty
Exciting Matty - when will you move in?
a more exuberant cheerleader
Fireworks
I like to live on the wild side :) We have a friend with a van coming at the weekend, I have deliveries (sofa, fridge, dryer) coming at the weekend, the painting should be done today - hope to be in by the end of next week
any sign of your recent escapee, car?
Yeah! Party at matty's!
Congrats Lizlin
Not a peep or shrieking drill noise
End of June will be the housewarming, I think - you're all invited :)
Thanks - also thanks for the help.
Got the ro - thanks!
great matty! Will the ticket be coming by post?
Excellent - would love to be in the UK at the end of June! Will be there virtually!
I had a such a great conversation with a woman yesterday who fosters birds and does rescues. I'm in a good place with it all.
I can do you a 'ticket' for the housewarming - sadly, travel is not included :)
Aw your bird flew off?
Yup.
It's been a really rough springtime for us.
May I have a nudge for the in8, please? Then I MUST do my errands
Hope you find it soon
I have to shower, so I'll join in for that nudge.
Matty change the penultimate letter of your last word at 7.05 and lose the s
And of course, add that to the in
got it! tyvm
yw - hope it works for Matty too.
Thank you - it worked for me :) I hadn't even realised I had used a word in chat - PB for me :)
I'm off to the shower. HAGD everyone! ((hugs)) and good thoughts for whatever struggles any of yo may be having.
Good luck to you too.
*you
(didn't mean to go all "street" on you there)
I'm off for an early night - have a good day all!
I figure the worst that will happen today is that the doc will tell me i have to do the radioactive iodine treatment. This would mean a 2-3 day hotel stay for me...not too shabby.
Peaceful, I'd think. Still no further treatment necessary would be best :)
OK...just pitiful...Archer is lying right on the spot where the bird cage used to be looking all sad. Breaking my heart :(
hello...stats for the Q pls

phantom: narrator
hi annie. i was in brooklyn a week ago.
oh, what part?
red hook
actually all of it, we took a wrong turn. on the opposite side of the water as well
red hook has been gentrified. my ex-husband grew up in red hook.
yes, very hip. was at jalopy
nice. hope you had a great time.
we accidentally came in via the holland and on the opposite side from the destination at first
yes, great venue. good acoustics, good food
the holland tunnel is in new york. did you have a hard time finding red hook?
glad you had a blast
not after the driver realized that he had set the car gps and the phone gps for different destinations. harder going through lower manhattan, streets were packed
next time take the tunnel, you will come out near red hook
which tunnel?
brooklyn battery tunnel now known as the hugh carey tunnel. but to brooklynites it will always be the brooklyn battery.
we went over a bridge. coming home was easy, via 287/78, goethals
that was the way we missed on the drive up
then you went over the brooklyn bridge. glad it was easier getting home.
goethals prob named after guy who was in charge of building panama canal. his grandson was one of my profs in college :)
i don't think so. is there another bridge?
because the gps was set for the manhattan side and we really wanted the staten island side.
hi hursh
hi :)
if you were going home then it was the verrazano bridge. I see that bridge from my windows.
i'm down to 3 T, 2 N, and a V
i would have waved had i known ;)
*puts on simon and garfunkle*
going to get more coffee. next time, owl. :)
i need to do a bit of work, lots going on here. later
Good morning, all!

Sorry. Was doing some online banking there for a mo.

Thank you. My lurker credit rating remains spotless.
I was surprised by my credit score when I bought this house.. speaking of credit ratings

Surprised in a good way?
my lurker credit rating is somewhat iffy though

Thank you!
ro 7 -- more exuberant cheerleader
yw :) bbl
TY! thats NBT and NBS for me...
Bloody vowels done. 10 left.
anybody know why Brits consider bloody to be a cuss word?
hi all
Hi Farruska
A little trivia about "bloody"... By one theory, "Bloody" in this context is a contraction for "by our lady", essentially swearing by the Virgin Mary (Bloody in Wikipedia). Other similar oaths include "blimey" (God blind me) and "gadzooks" (by God's hooks (hands)). As to why "Bloody" is considered obscene/profane in the UK more than in the US, I think that's a reflection of a stronger Catholic presence, historically, in the UK than in the US, if we're accepting the above etymology, as Catholics venerate the Virgin to a greater extent than Protestants.
sounds like a stretch but probably true. Interesting. Thank you.
any hints for the 7 pls?
see 1:58
thanks but don't get the clue
more ro4/4 (comparative ending)
Exuberant means lively. A more lively cheerleader, one who ro4 for her team would be ro7

Oh good for you. It's been years since I got lucky. : P
haha, well, me, too, if we're going to be honest about such things, giggle... ;)
isn't lucky relative? I mean... it all depends on how the word Is laid doesn't it?
Yes, it all depends on how things get laid. And then there are those who claim to get lucky but you are just thinking EW and EW.
