hi Sprite and Rose
*huggggggggs* my dear friend. How was your day, sweetie?
*hugs flosey* I hope you had a good day?
quiet. just podiatrist this afternoon was all.how are you doing?
yes thanks Sprite, it's been a quiet day
cooee flosey dear
mwah. Sad, to be honest. But good for the rest. Having a lovely quiet day today. And Tim came home from vacation yesterday, tanned and happy.
am glad, flosey. Quiet days can be so nice, can't they
indeed, was wonderful having son and family with us for two weeks though
so glad you and they had a great time together, flosey.
it was a very special treat
it's been a few years since the 3 of them have been out together
a real special occasion then!
oh yes!
I think the idea was a treat for grandson, just completed first year U
and, of course very much a treat for us
wow, well done grandson! So wonderful, to see your offspring doing well, isn't it?
he is a real sweetheart
that is even more important
Hi and hugs
hi Liz
{{liz}} hugas to you and yours. xoxox
How are you all?
all good here thanx. and up there?
All's good here too, thanks.
hiya Liz! *hugs* I am okay, all good here. How are you and your beloved?
fine here, just very tired - think I'll be off to bed and leave the last 34 for tomorrow
good night all
OK - sleep well, Flosey
looks like don are leaving just in time to miss the really bad weather here... *grin*
sweetest of sweet dreams dear flosey. xoxox
ahem... don and i....
What bad weather?
turning very old. i am actually waering winter jammies at night.
*eye roll* cold.... wearing....
Haven't worn anything like that since I lived in the UK - on cold, snowy nights.
bring them, rose :) The Netherlands, even in summer, might be cold for you Aussie people.
*giggles* Turning old, never. Cold... well... okay ;)
lollll sprite... sort of a faux pas.
I read it as cold :)
a couple of liquid amber trees have turned blood red. such an amazing mass of colour.
I love the autumn colours.
But here, spring is much more colourful. Fabulous blossom on the trees.
oh wow, I love those colours
I sent you an email, rose
I'd love to go to the East Coast of the USA to see the autumn colours one day - don't know if that will ever happen though.
me too.
ks killed at last.
Missing 2 of them
thanx sprite. have read. i am waiting to hear from other recipient.
thought so, sweetie. All good.
Time for a break - BBL. Hugs.
bye for now, Liz! *hugs*
sprite i have to tell you. last night we went to son simon's to celebrate Deacon's 9th birthday and Claudia's 7h birthday, plus Mother's Day.
oh wow! Do tell!
as i walked in the door both Claudia and Deacon jumped up, and for the first time, without prompting, they gave me a genuine hug. i had tears in my eyes.
aw that is priceless. Am so glad, rose. You deserve it.
i haven't pushed it at all, just waited for them to be spontaneous.
all the more precious for happening really spontaneous.
I keep seeing lentil
close sprite. switch the vowels
oh! Thanks :D
just received a message from dear Niece so took the time to respond, 128/34 must stop and get to bed, very tired tonight, good night all, bb in the am
sleep well, flosey *hug*
okay flosey. hope you can sleep well.
am of two minds about this grid. Found quite a few of the biggies early on, so that should make it easy. But with 100 in I am hitting this concrete wall, hard to imagine 62 more words in here!
squirrel? :)
yeah... news program on. new french president marching down the Champs Elysses.
ah :)
his poor wife looks terrified. it's a whole new life style for her.
can't imagine the transition from relatively unknown to in the eyes of the whole public. It would scare me s***less.
and now they are showing maggots which they are farming to feed fish farms. lalalalalalalalalalala gag
ugh, one of the very few things that make me gag too.
what are you doing today?
walking Terra, weeding, making some painted stones for my sister, translating, and crocheting.
all sounds quite manageable.
tomorrow i start putting together contents of suitcase and carry-on bag.
yeah, nothing much today, am taking it easy. Tomorrow and Friday I have an early morning shift, with someone I am mentor for. And wednesday a chat shift.
oh wow, rose. It is getting so real now, isn't it :D
yes honey. i can't believe how quickly the time has passed.
I am so happy with it. Can't wait to see you two for real, and hug you, and spend time with you. It will be something to remember for the rest of my life.
and mine, and mine
:D
Love you two! So much excitement. How many days now?
we fly out in a fortnight maisie
just two more weeks, Maisie!
Wow that has gone quickly
{{maisie}} hugs and kisses
I'm excited for you x
So where are you going to post all the photos
maybe on flickr??
sounds like a plan. We can make a folder just for this occasion
Really looking forward to seeing them.
we will call it "Rose's grand babble tour" :D
I think it will have a lot of followers
it will be wonderful to share it with you all.
I think we'd all be really disappointed if you didn't
no worries! We will, gladly.
Must go, off to the New Forest for a week with son and grandchildren
oh sounds great, Maisie! Have a terrific time!
Oh I will
Thank you
lovely maisie. enjoy !!

now now Nanette, no cursing ;)
fireflies. With the help of Lickety, thanks!
*hugs* for you and Don, rose. Hope to see you on Wednesday. Bye all!
WTG SPRITE!!!
i hope you can relax and enjoy your day honey.
I will. Can't begin to tell you how happy and light my heart feels, knowing we are so close to meeting IRL :D

Hello, Ruby. I think most of thebabbler players are still in bed :-)
Hello Zooz
Or like me busy trying to find words lol
Good! I fouled up wheen I first entered
and Ruby
Hello ((Kallia)) How goes it there?
And felt bad
Not too bad, how about you?
why did you feel bad Ruby?
Okayish here thank you. Weather not too good today. rain is on and off.
its not good here either...been raining all morning
It is beautiful and sunny and the gardener is hard at work. I put several words into the chog, still sleepy and wooly-headed
oh I don't think you need to feelbad aboout that! We all do it sometimes
I do put valid words in chat often lol
The garden looks better than it has in several years as, during the period of my husband's decline (and my being sick), notthing was done.
lovely to have a great garden to dreamin
Glad the garden is back on track, Ruby! Bet it is going to look amazing when everything is out in bloom.
The deck is all planted: 9 assorted tomato plants in lovely bronze pots and MANY different flowers, most of thgemnot yet open, but vigorous and intensely green
do you sit out on the deck Ruby?
It really makes me happy!
so good for the soul to sit and look at green...very soothing
And once open, it will be a riot of color, all in my limited but still rich, palette
<-- can't stop smiling!
what is your palette Ruby?
Hope the bees will bzz into your garden for the pollen!
it will be lovely when your visitors arrive Ruby
All shdes of pink, salmon, violet, blue, deep reds,, magenta and a little white
No yellow or orange
ohhhh lovely ...I am making a small quilt in those colours...an art quilt, not a bedquilt!
Nothing to jar the eyes
peaceful
If you are selling, I'm buying! LOL
LOL nope don't sell, may give though :)
Limiting the color range makes it possible to have many different flowers
I have been toldthatI have a good eye for colour, yellows and oranges would be a reallno no inyourcolour scheme.....
have we lost zooz?
Nope still here trying to find the bottom N :-)
Since this is my first garden, it was all theoretical. I made many mistakes, but the overall scheme carried through nicely;
Found one!
<-- zzoozz is a prince!
stats, pls
haven't got that far yet Zoioz....I work from the top leftcorner methodically lol
((Ruby)) :-)
NE 4/7
zooz is a very nice man...ohI hate that word nice...isn't descriptive enough!
ne4 and na5 Ruby
Yes that is how I work on the grid too, Kallia!
Good morning, Molly
Thanks, Molly!
Hello Molly
I wouldn't mind being called nice, though it rarely happens....LOL
lol Ruby, I don't getcalled that either :)
Yuo are both very nice ladies :-)
You*
why thankyou zooz, I amvery well behaved on here :) It is far to easy to upset people without meaning to
TY zzoozz, keeping relatively mum
Yes written words sometimes do not describe as well as actual talk can. And can easily be misinterpreted.
best way Ruby :)
*Nods*
Words matter, but somebody needs to tell Trump!
well he is not anintelligent man, his vocabulary is limited adn he doesn't know how to use words properly!
that's only my opinion of course !
His English vocabulary is smaller than my French one, and I learnedmine in jr high
"Opinions matter!"
J'ai appris mon français de google, Ruby!
There is a merle, a drab black bird with a gorgeous voice, who ssings "La Cucaracha
Is anybody old enough to remember that "novelty" song?
hehe zoo...most of my schoolgirl French has disappeared
I have lots of beautiful bird songs in my garden! And a robin always comes up to me when I am out there!
Well I am probably...but I don't know it
I haad to bring mine back when I moved here
The Dancing Cockroach
Do you actually have robins like in the US?
Hahah
My father used to have that tune as a horn on his car LOL
the robins we have are different from the USA ones
Too funny!
Here the only birds with red undersides are pinsons and red-throats
I had to do a Google search on UK robins. Yours are orange.
Ours are small with a beautiful red breast.
I keep a bird book in sight of the feeder, and although often similar, I've learned more than 20 new ones
Oh, okay. Zoom must have the American kind. : D
I kept track in the US, had a "life list" of more than 100.
Trans-Atlantic flierrs!
The is a utube video of La Cacarachawith dancing cockroaches lol
Well orange is more the color than red :-)
I would love to learn bird calls. I have so many out back. Probably because I put bird seed out for them.
I doknow the tune.
The only true red one I have is a tiny fellow who occasionally walks into the house
I also have a wild rabbit who comes around for the seed. I had no idea they liked it until this year.
I have many cardinals here. They are very pretty in the winter against the white snow.
Oktimeto start sewing again...thanks for the chat see you later maybe :) byeee
Hi guys
I want to promote new social network friendsmoko.com
Take care, Kallia!
Nice to hear you feed the birds, Molly.
What is your red bird called that comes into your home, Ruby?
I don't know bird calls except for the cuckoo who lives above me, the pigeon ramier "burbles" but I don't recognize others, except the merles
He is a red-throat, and his wife died crashing into a window, so I think he comes in the house looking for her
He is tiny and lets me pick him up and carry him back out
The gardener just left and even took the garbage up to the road for me. I am so fortunate!
For the dogs, the birds provide entertainment; they Watch the feeder for hours
No rabbits hee; I think they've all been eaten
Does anybody k ow about hedgehogs?
hydra and jacula have hedgehogs in their gardens
hello all
If you see them, pls ask if their hedgehogs make loud noises at night

i am taking a break....bbl to find my last 18...
first column e?
eu9/72 geometry
I will never find eu9 I did terribly in geometry
bu ty for the stats
but even
it's the guy who invented it, not a geometry term
i mean it's the adjective based on the name of the guy who invented it
it's also a type of geometry, i think....
yeah, because then more geometry got invented later or something
maybe because of einstein and relativity and stuff, i forget
it's geometry based on his (Eu's) theories, i think....
i don't remember much from geometry....or algebra either....though i can solve for an unknown!
if you google types of geometry, you will find it...
The essential difference between Eu9 geometry and these two non-Eu9 geometries is the nature of parallel lines: In Eu9 geometry, given a point and a line, there is exactly one line through the point that is in the same plane as the given line and never intersects it.
i should be looking for words and not spouting off about geometry, lol....
got it ty
nbs
cool...
got an 8!
cool!...i am playing at WordSplay...
i play there with my sister sometimes

peri plays sometimes, too...

SPEAKING of peri...
i got it.

man i'm bored
sad state...sorry!
A-hoy hoy, neighbors!
so near, yet so far
thanks. said i'd sub for high school since they were really desperate, and i was hoping they'd put me in math but i'm in art and it's not fun art either, there are no chalks or paints or clays, they are using photoshop.
there's nothing for me to do except check who is here and say "sure, you can go to the bathroom"
that is more than sad...that's terrible
YAAAWN, hurshy. I say go rogue and break out the Play-doh.
what is happening to our schools!
i didn't BRING playdoh
it's a private school, nana
sneak to the kitchen for the ingredients
You'd think and art class would have a stash of paints, clays, etc.
their parents pay mucho buckos to send them here
sad state, as I said...kids should learn to work with their hands in art!
well they probably have other art classes for that. these ones elected to take photography
oh, I see...sad for you!
YES
how long do you have to be there?
well, all day, but, there are some breaks but i mean, what is the point of break when class is break too, lol
lol
sounds like a work camp ;)
Name that proper noun: Famous tower.
I got the eu9. I remembered the first part somehow but could not think how to extend it. ty hurshy
i think eiffel has two f's?
True, but you get credit anyway, Hurshy.
:)
I'll take a clue for the eu9, please.
the kind of geometry where only one parallel line can pass through a given point in relation to another line in the same plane...
great clue hursh :)
Ugh. Math clue. I'm lost.
refers to an ancient greek mathematician...and then turn him into an adjective
he's WAY FAMOUS
interestingly enough, in New Zealand we also called a certain type of scraping earth mover, the same as this mathematician
you new zealanders are so sophisticated
heh, I think NZers might be the least sophisticated in all of the western world :)
I want to return to NZ
Got it. Ty!
I have never been to NZ but would love to go some day
My wife would like us to go there (she's american) to live, but it would be tougher financially
Would love to vist NZ
Definitely worth a visit
A lot of US ex-pats moving to NZ now. Driving real estate prices up, that's for sure.
well, real estate was already going the wrong way, mostly from foreign investment
Auckland has an average home price of $NZ 1 million...
Who's investing, Mool? Chinese?
is there nowhere one can live the good life affordably anymore? simple, close to nature...
Yes, a lot of Chinese investment, Auckland has a pretty healthy chinese community
But other foreign investment too from other places
If you want to get away from the political issues in the US, move to nz
We visited Jamaica recently. Same situation there. Really cheap land getting bought up by Chinese and Indian investors.
Yes, NZ politics are on a completely different scale :)
Exchange rate is about $NZ 1.45 for each $US 1.00, so good value
It's so far away from everywhere. I never even saw any US newspapers when I was there
How come in4 is allowed but not "intel"? Harrumph.
I say harrumph a lot here too Judi
Yes, it's a long way from anywhere
maybe bc everyone uses in4 but only the cia uses intel?
li 6/21, pls
the wordlist here is basically the US scrabble dictionary from 1998. Back then, the list was pretty closed managed. A few years back, the leadership changed and there's been a lot of words added since
the OSW - which is used primarily out of the UK, but used for English play in much of the rest of the world, is much more inclusive
li 6 - window shelf I think
no, it's a structure that holds up a window or door
50 to go
still way more inclusive than what you get with some online word game sites
yes, I don't play a lot because they use weird dictionaries
prefer only to use ones that use the US dictionary, though will dabble in ones that use OSW
Especially speed based games, you need to know to some extent, some of the commons combinations that aren't words
that's the li 6/18, need the 6/21
a kind of tree, only one letter different
ty hurshy
sorry, yes
i hate when i'm playing text twist or whatever and i'm like IT IS SO A WORD!!!!
and it'll take the singular of something but not the plural, or vice versa even!
I hate when some bogus word shows up as legit
yes, that's frustrating
This dictionary does have at least one mistake word in it though
emfs is not really a word, was a mistaken addition
really? but i love emfs!
Yeah. Emfs really make your afro stand up.
yeah, it's an acronym, that was added and has since been removed
I believe emps are still acceptable tho.
well then i can make up a meaning for it
well it means electronic magnetic something
an emf is when an elf makes a sort of grunting, skeptical sound.
Don't believe emps is good
but not certain
EMFS
actually, just looked it up...it's not valid
heh
Well, I take it back then.
it's okay, I'm sure I have plenty of words that I think are legit that aren't in there :)
spam should be in the dictionary
conure is one I always thought they should have in there, seeing I owned one once...but only in OSW I believe
yes, instead of in my e-mail
any other hints for the li 6/21?
TWO letters different from 6/18. i said one but it's TWO, sorry.
daniel was thrown into the ____'s ____, take out the O
thx, hurshy - i had changed every letter i could + couldnt make it work with just 1 letter different. :)
That's fireworks for me! Soldier on, Hurshy. See y'all tomorrow!
i am VERY sorry.
making mistakes when cluing is such bad form!
::beats hurshy with a wet noodle::

Hi everyone
I got it, ty nan
or put an l in front of what the cia gathers

free clue, I was hoping it was not a word but it is
Maybe the CIA should gather more li 6/18

2/3 done. bbl to list
10 to go
su 6 please?
sounds like something little richard might sing about, or at least rhyme with
this girl...named daisy...
only song i know about a daisy was about a bicycle built for 2
The Little Richard words end in I. The su ends in a double vowel
t'is true, hence the rhyme :)
Alternate clue...only has 4 unique letters in it
I know there was an entertainer called little richard, but have no idea about any of his songs
The Little Richard song is also an ice cream flavor with chunks of fruit and confection in it
infekt: what the virus for german measles does
We are barking up the wrong tree trying to clue Nan with Little Richard. su6 sounds like a word for sofa that starts with se
can't come up with anything that has 6 letters
ah ty molly --- the practice of indian wives throwing themselves on their husband's funeral pyre
su + consonant + golf ball holder (that should do it, a golf clue)
I was trying to find something with tti at the end
Hence my comment earlier about the word ending in a double vowel
yes, very common world
