good morning all
good morning Sprite
good evening flosey! How was your day?
it's been a good one, fairly quiet, thanks Sprite
sounds nice :)
it was, have made luncheon plans with friends, to celebrate our 55th anniversary Friday
oh wow, that is something, flosey. My love and I will be married for 20 years next month. A long way to go till 55!
looking back, it doesn't seem that long - raised 2 sons, 2 daughters - good times
very rewarding, I think, to look back on such good times.
it is, Sprite - many many happy memories
:) Makes me smile, just to read it
me too, Sprite
remembering
:)
still get a bit of a giggle remembering a time I insisted my daughter go back up to her room and change her skirt (was a very short black leather!!! - she did, but I bet she had the skirt in her purse - must ask her some day!! we can laugh about it now
oh yes, I bet, grin. At some point, they become too smart for us and go their own way, whether we like it or not. Which is a good thing, all in all, I guess.
she has turned out very well! doing well in business, has a wonderful boyfriend who has taken her to France and Spain !! we get day to day emails on various sites they enjoying
sounds very good
also visiting his brother who lives there
that is so nice. Will be great for them to see eachother again. And great to introduce your daughter.
they did meet at Christmas, while they were in BC, she fell in love with their sweet little girl
awwww so it will be a reconnection for them
is that the right word in english? Don't think so... re-something. Getting back together again.
yes, that fits the situation fine, Sprite
ah good! Thank you.
one weekend when they were over here we also had his parents up, (they're from a pretty little town on Vancouver Island - was good fun, lovely people
if you ever get all together at the same time, you will need to hire a whole hotel to house them :)
sen nal
sorry about that
we've done that Sprite - there are handy b&bs
a couple of times when we've had quite a houseful, one daughter, hubby and 6 yr old son set up a tent on the deck for sleeping, they quite enjoyed it
camping out is a wonderful adventure. Even in the backyard :)
the little fella went right out (early for the little guy) and he thoughit was great!
so sweet :)
getting sleepy, 43 to go but think it's time!
good job! Sleep well, flosey.
goodnight Sprite and anyone else still here, have a good day Sprte

<-- drops mic and exits
hi all. I heard today about a couple that have been eating on their wedding cake for 61 years!
no worries, it is a fruit cake. You just cant make these things up.
... sounds like the Shel Silverstein poem about the little girl who started to eat a whale and finished it when she was an old lady
because it takes 61 years to finish one!
... yup
yep
I think a whale would taste better Dos. The Green things in those cakes....YUCK
... but think of the happiness of finally being done ... now you can go on to something else
I'm calling shenanigans. At this point it's just rum.
yea, like Liver Mush
... yummm
I am really trying to think of something as bad as fruit cake, but nothing comes to mind.
... tapioca
its not even the cake - it is the idea of eating ANYTHING 61 years old. The idea of the story is sweet enough, but ....gross.
lol, they still have a 3 X 4 piece
if it makes them happy, god bless. I don't have to eat it, after all.

Oh well. Learning a little bit is better than not learning any at all.
yes, any brain exercise is good for me...
isn't it Oklahoma? "Well I've never been to Spain, but I've been to Oklahoma"
sorry, don't know what you are talking about...
And now.. the song is stuck in my head.. and I will go off to my son's swimming lesson... "they don't abuse it.. never gonna lose it...what does it matter?" Peace out!

Hi all :)
hi liz
Hi Nan - thought I was alone here.
i'm here too just not chatting much
Hi Hurshy - was sorry to read about your cat earlier this week :( So sad to lose a pet. They are such good friends.
yeah, i'm still kind of in disbelief. it seems impossible and wrong.
A couple of my friends here are facing something similar in the near future :(
i designed a little memorial plaque on one of those websites where you can do personalized stuff, and it arrived today, so at least i have that to look at.
That's a lovely thing to do - clever of you to design it.
hi folks hurshy, i'm sorry about your cat. we put one of our dogs down on tuesday and we're still reeling, too.
*!* ta da *!* - anyone want clues before I leave?
i find it important to prepare by thinking about what you want to do for remembrance ahead of time. so like i have bits of each cat's fur that i set aside before they die so that i can keep that. i wore a black armband when marty died 2 years ago for 14 weeks, one week for each year of his life.
Sorry to hear that, welki.
*hugs* to you welki
Congrats, nan
we keep their collars
Nice memories.
Hi Welki -- thought you might be at Priddis Greens this week
me and mitten just... knew each other SO WELL after so long together... you just can't replace that.
No clues yet, nan, thanks. I'm missing one 7 but don't know which it is yet. Just listed for my last 50 words.
i'm still early stages of finding words
less than half an hour away, nan - but we have a tournament this weekend in the opposite direction
Too bad the weather isn't better for it
* for yours too
i think it'll be nice and sunny by then - here's hoping
it'll be a welcome diversion after this week. hurshy, are you keeping yourself busy? sitting around just makes the grief worse
(for me, anyway)
touch and go whether they'll be able to finish today after the 2 hr delay --- temp dropping below 59 now so that will be a shock to some of them
yes, school started up this week and i have a packed schedule from 8:25 to 3
ohh, you mean for today's play? yeah, it was pretty lousy weather, but they're a tough bunch of gals
gotta run
Enjoy your evening.
bye welki --- keep your head down and the back swing slow :-)
sa 6/21 please?
on my way as well -- later maybe
ends like the oj and champagne drink
sa 6/21 - Indian triangular, pastry-wrapped fried food
Have a good evening, nan
thanks Liz

Wow! Listing helped! Quickly down to 19.
hey that's funny that is what the kids had for lunch today at school
That's adventurous for school - we never had anything like that, either as pupils or teachers!
well, they always have a sandwich option if the kids don't want the main thing. and the sa6 or whatever they serve also comes in either meat or veggie.
Sounds good.
the teacher lunch was beer battered fish, it was all i could do to exert my willpower and not eat more than 2 pieces
I'd've had the samosas! Actually I rarely ate the school lunch - except when I forgot my own or if there was a dessert I really wanted!
i don't like indian food. except naan. i'm cool with naan.
I miss the Indian restaurants from London. Here all the food is smothered in sauces - not the way I like it! My local Indian restaurant used to do an amazing tandoori salmon - now we do it ourselves.
Fireworks
congrats, liz!
Thanks Une - did you see the message from Soodle earlier?
no . . .
She said to tell you that her daughter is loving Nashville
oh, cool! Is she visiting or going to school here?
Not sure - visiting I think.
Message at 4.42 babble time
Any clues before I go?
wow, she's come in the middle of miserable weather -- high temps and very humid----guess she likes it hot LOL
tx liz :-)
No problem - I saw it when I turned on my iPad this morning.
** finito ** last word AS 5 / 6 combo - any of the postures in a yoga exercise.
Congrats, wvt
just read the message -- she must be a live music fan, eh? :-)
Enjoy your evenings :)
white fish for lunch, pink fish for dinner no matter the fish, i would say it's a winner
name that proper noun! strongman felled by Delilah's wiles
samson
ding ding ding!
mosta
scuse me :)
(can you tell i'm monkeying?)
phantom: mastodon
name that proper noun! baby in a basket of reeds
phantom that will haunt me for a long time: stanza
yes, hursh. don't blame you,
can I just say.. that I really dislike this grid
really? why? i think it's normal.
not normal to me
any letter giving you troubles in particular?
the m.. but I found it finally
now just some t's and s's.. slow going
i do not suppose you would accept my help... i have got some rope up here...
no.. i'm ok.. just complaining is all :D
I missed some plurals apparently with the hidden s's
it's a quote, i thought you'd get it. or are you the one who always refused to watch The Princess Bride?
I refuse to watch the princess bride and the Princess Diaries.
the Princess Bride is a riot. Definately worth watching ruru
the princess bride is NOTHING AT ALL like the princess diaries. there is ZERO resemblance other than the title.
did you not like... The Neverending Story? Labyrinth?
do you not think you would enjoy Billy Crystal as a slightly deaf old Miracle man?
chases? escapes? revenge? pirates?
shrieking eels? cliffs of insanity? pit of despair? rodents of unusual size? lightning sand?
a prince who plans to murder his bride on their wedding night and frame the country across the sea so he can start a war with them?
ruru, say yes, please. If you don't, we may never get back to the grid alive!
poisonings? double switches?
a decades-long search for a six-fingered man?
prepare to die!
fabulous swordfighting?
aaahhh!
you are SO out of the loop ruru and jwr. Please join those of us who enjoy a good satire
da6/24, please?
it is a variety of plum, Marc
loopy, indeed. Satires: Mon Oncle, Divorce Italian Style, MAsH, Milky Way, Network . . . .,
ty Hurshy
The Great Dictator, Chicago, Dr. Strangelove
can you explain the theme of your list, please, jwr?
satire, Bugs - as anti comic romp
I agree with those I know but wasn't sure about some
Understood: I have a standing argument with my best friend about the choice of "Chicago"
I like Chicago songs
Satire doesn't just throw in bits and pieces (LOTS of bits and pieces if it's a Hollywood type) of the subject, it goes to the core and expresses it, and its flaws in a completely new and comical way. The best satires have an edge to them.
do you thing that Chicago and Princess Bride are not satyrical enough?
am
Love 'em. Mr. Cellophane, Cell Block Tango, Razzle Dazzle - all satirizing both other musicals and the whole Chicago gangster era schtick
Bugs, Chicago is on my list.
Right, I am with you there. You love my most favourites too
so if i understand aright, when jwr said ruru should agree to watch the Princess Bride or we might never get back to the grid alive, it was a jokey thing.
yup
ok. sorry hurshy
I am easily sidetracked
And it looks like I was right. ruru must be dead by now
mostly dead, or all dead?
oh, just temporarily
don't worry hurshy, he will bounce back for anything lewd or slightly off
get the chocolate! i'm whipping up a miracle pill!
he'll be back around Springtime . . . for Hitler
LOL
[shhh! he can hear us!]
humperdinck, humperdinck, humperdinck!
Excuse me, lovely chatfolks. I'm at 183 and about to go a-listing tra la. Later...
shutting up now too
good one, hursh. fireworks to you all!
Hi folks. Rbud's husband is very ill. Please see my post in the Babble Community FB page, or email me for more info. They need some help.
