Is anybody here?
... good morning ruby
I'm so anxious about the US election that I keep dreaming aabout Trumpfff!!!
Hello dose
good morning ruby and doseffing
ruby, it's a nightmare we all want to wake up from
... then you must vote for Hilary ... that's all you can do ... and stop worrying ...
Hello JBV
... unless you want to get active and encourage others to vote
I never remembr dreams, only those with him....
No Americans in my village
... can you vote in the French election? ... how likely is Le Pen to take the presidency this time? ...
The closest Italian city to here is in the grid, Aosta.
I don't think she'll win the presidency, but she'll surely be in the next round
Wheen we first came here, we used to take visitors there for lunch; it is full of Roman ruins
Ruby, have you ever been to the fortress of Fenestrelle - it's on the Italian side - one of my fantasy places that I dream of visiting
... how long a drive is it? ... the drive there itself must be spectacular
It is 1 1/2 hrs from here, via the Mont Blanc tuinnel
No, I've never been to Fenestrelle. I'll have to Google it
Hi ruby, dose, JBV
hi bichon
This region is really beaautiful; last week frinds took me to a restaurant at 1700 meters and the view of Mt Blanc was fabulous
Hi Bichon
... morning Bichon
you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world
... maybe next year ruby ... wife wants to return to London which she only saw from Heathrow in her hippie days ... as a Canadian how could I get that close to France without going to Vimy Ridge ... which admittedly is flanders
Vimy Ridge???
Yes, Bichon, I'm very lucky
... next year is the centenary of the Battle at Vimy Ridge which marks the first time Canadian forces operated independently of the British and the event is often looked on as marking the real date of Canadian independence ... France is going to be crawling with Canadian high school kids next year ... every high school in the country is planning a trip
I think that Canadian history is unknown to Americans
... not to worry ... it's unknown to most Canadians too
haha
very true, alas
May I pls have stats or a clue for the w?
... only one I've got is wo4/8
wo 4/8
two of them
wo4 wo + abbrev for street
other is also wo4/8 -- reverse last 2 letters
ty ty
bonjour une
bonjour! Didn't I see something online about a big hang-gliding competition in Annecy?
Yes, it was in FB sent by an Australian friend, on my page
:-)
sometimes, errant hndgliders Wind up in the fild across th road from my house
wow-- how cool!
sorry for the bad typing
puhleez -- my fingers get klutzier by the day!
My oncologist/friend came to visit overnight and although she thought I seemed much better than when I first saw her last year, she was very evasive when I asked about my future
I know you're going to make it ruby
But she also was very pessimistic about all the right-wing politians, here and there and every place
xx bichon, I'm certainly fighting
... may mean everything ... but more likely means nothing ... they really don't know the answer to that question but everybody always asks ... so they're all evasive
Same here. There was a poll published on CNN showing the US presidential race at a dead heat. HOw does this happen?
She was just glad to see that I've regained my lost weight
Unforttunately, my main news source is CNN and that's probably why I dream of Trump
... that is a far better indication of your health than not answering the other question ...
Can you imagine the future of the US if Trump is elected.
Trump will NOT be elected!!
... wait for the debate ... if Trump does well then be afraid ... but if Clinton and her team is successful in making him look like the fool that he is then he'll be left with only is most die hard supporters ... in my opinion
I think Europeans are as worried as we are
We all say that, but do we know for sure
Did any of you see the photos of Melania as a "model"? My sister sent me the clippingss
yep
I can always move to Israel, but Mr. Bich wouldn't. And, is it any better?
Hi. I'm jumping right in on this. Never before has a vice president been as important as in this election. If Trump wins, he'll be assasinated and if Hilary wins, she will be forced to step down. Look at the Veeps and chose.
must get going -- transporting 2 sweet pittie rescue girls this morning -- byeee :-)
l
wow, gramma, NOW I can be really depressed! LOL
Why will Hillary be forced to step down?
Sorry. Just my humble opinion.
... health questions ... she's starting to look tired already and she hasn't been elected yet ...
I'm going to start on this grid. I just happened on as the convo was going and felt an urge to speak my mind. Sorry if I depressed anyone. Back to work on the grid.
I wouldn't make any predictions, but at least her VP choice is a possible
and Trump is "the healthiest presidential candidate ever" RIGHT!
... oh I doubt that ...
Who we can't see his income tax returns
no no gramma, it's nice to hear other voices and opinions
... what makes you think he's paid any? ... I wonder if his businesses have lost so much money that he doesn't owe any and that would be bad for his image of being the businessman who can run the country ...
I think he probably doesn't pay any tax
The one time he had to settle, years ago, he paid 15 cents on the dollar!
The definition of "chutzpah", a Hebrew word for nerve. Tell the Mexicans to pay for their own wall.
I Wonder how you say chutzpah in French.....couilles?
Somehow in Hebrew is sounds nervier
... which of course ignores the fact that for the past two or three years more people have returned to Mexico than have come from there ... does that mean his wall is meant to keep the cheap labour in? ... (note the Canadian spelling)
I always thought that was Yiddish.
... oh well ... half way and other things to do ... sunny skies and luck for all ...
Probably from Yiddish, but incorporated into Hebrew.
bye dose, it is always nice to see you
Actually, it's from Aramaic, which is what Hebrew comes from
I didn't know that. Bichon, you are a reliable info source!
Wise words, gramma. From what I hear, Hillary has an amazing 'veep" lined up. The real scary thing; however, is not that Trump is running for this office, but that there are actually that many people with the mind-set to support him this far. Whether Trump wins or loses, those "lil, trumps" will still be there...
I have to get back on the phone. I've been trying to get Fr gov't health insurance since lasst January!
My two cents worth. Now back to babble :)
Your two cents are golden
(9ruby))
I cannot type worth a darn today :(

Working for the Fr gov't must be really hard! NOT
It's a civil e job, why work?ser
*service
see you later, kids
The govt rep we talk with for various things is in the habit of sending out a letter around the 19th of the month or so--whichever Thursday is closest to that date. The problem is that she never works Friday's and by Monday morning, her voice mailbox is full and taking no new messages. All the while, the end of the month looms closer and closer

Help needed with an7,28 please. is it a compound word with the an 4,4 before
against what we breathe
it is
hi Flosey
How could anyone be an7?
... just looked it up ... it's a variation of the spelling of the an6/18 which is an arrow poison .... take the an7 and leave out a vowel
hi Lyn and all, just finished! this one seemed slow going
Thank you Flosey, that was my last one.
gosh Lil - now you expect Babble to be sensible as well as smaller
Congrats Flosey & PMS
I like things to be logical.
yvw PMS - btw, is that name really as most know it?
sorry, that was unkind, perhaps your initials
No! It's just my initials, unfortunately
I don't think parents consider initials - my brother was teased with "PK chewing gum" right thru primary school...a common chewing gum here in the 50s
but twas a rude comment, and yes, parents sometimes don't think ahead
must be off, seems we have company !!!!
bye Flos
my parents were not to blame, Ijus
My parents were not to blame, I just married the wrongman.
this is pleasant, they are replacing large sections of concrete footpath outside, the thumping noises and shaking the whole house is a lovely way to start the morning
hi all - just taking a short break from cooking -- dinner party for 8 tonight

Has anyone seen Scrabbler lately?
I haven't seen her lately on here, lil*monkey, but I see her regularly on Facebook....she is one busy lady! She is fine. :-)
I don't often have the chat open, so I could easily miss her on here.

Oh Annie, thank you so much, yes it's very sad. He died of esophagus cancer.
He had not been my boyfriend for a long time, since 2009.
But I did spend time with him during his final 2 weeks of life.
It saddens me when we lose a babbler. We are a special group.
Ratite
He specifically asked me to tell the Babblers that he really loved Babble and loved chatting with everyone. He kept doing the grids daily until about 2 months before he passed.
Sorry!!!!
He got me hooked on Babble when we first started dating :)
OMG is that a word? Thanks for that great clue Gitel
