Hi all
hi Liz
Hi Jess
sn 7
Morning all.
Hi Peach
Any whale watching, Liz?
We went last Monday - not since then. Missed seeing Migaloo, the albino humpback on Tuesday because we had other arrangements. Bit sad about that but we're lucky because we've seen him twice before.
That is so exciting!
it is - hopefully we'll go again on Thursday this week. We try to go every week but it does depend on the weather - particularly on how rough the ocean is. Hate rough water.
Yes. You took some wonderful pictures.
:)
hello everyone
Hi Nan
Hey there, nan.
lins
sorry
Clues are up
thanks, Lickety
thanks Lickety
in 7
lo
Fireworks
FWs
wow, wtg Liz and Diz
14 to go but falling asleep!! better just get to bed, bb in the morning
good morning all
good morning Sprite - seems sleep will not come, so will try to find the last 14 words
aw so sorry, flosey :( It is nasty, being tired and not able to sleep. But lovely to see you. *hug*
hugs back, tks for concern, maybe a cup of tea and mind elsewhere will help
that sometimes does the trick for me.
or what often works for me: doing a sudoku or binary puzzle. My therapist once said that doing numerical or logical puzzles distracts the part of the brain that keeps us awake.
have never tried sudoku, better at word puzzles - crosswords, etc
yeah me too, but it does work.
will look into it, after I find the last 14 here
yay :D At least you have your priorities right ;)
lol
our rose is on her way back home, I believe. Intensely grateful for the wonderful journey she and Don enjoyed.
new babble dictionary word: referal - wildly enthusiastic recommendation
am anxious to hear all about their trip
yes, will be lovely to get lengthy descriptions. So far, the emails have been short. As they should be, because their time was much better used seeing good things and resting where needed.
yes, of course, no time to be wasting on a laptop - plenty of time for that once they're home
exactly. Rose said she will send the pictures once they are home too. Much easier and we can wait :)
oh my, those last 14 words came much faster than I expected!!
oh wow! WTG flosey!!!!!!!!!
now, perhaps a good time to look up sudoku
bb tomorrow, good night for now - and you have a great day Sprite
indeed. Start with the easy ones ;)
will do - much better with words than numbers
it is nice to discover the logic rules step by step.
fireflies. Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night
Hello.
Fabulous weather and my "monkey-boy" helper and I picked dozens of figs.
He climbs up Inside the tree and I stand below and catch the figs
It's preserves making time at Chez Ruby
I'm just eating s many as I can and sharing the rest. I've never made fig jam and all the recipes call for adding spices which doesn't sound ppealing
Ooo, I think adding spices sounds good. However, I'm sure that enjoying the fresh figs is just fine.
I used to make many jars of red currant Jelly, but it's too much trouble for me now
So my garden is full of happy birds
Time for the Tour, see you later
Biker boys in shorts and fresh figs. It is a good day in Ruby's world.
re 5/18 ?
To plant again
Thx!
hello all
First column e?
two ey 4 words...
hi pen ty
yw...
m stats?
i have two....ma 5/16 for both....they are related...
ty pen got the one ending in n
the other is a plural...of the root word...
ty
yw...
I don't like this grid
me either....i am stuck at 47 left...
i have 95 left at the moment
pen is AL 6 a pl?
i don't have it yet...
it is a plural...
thanks pen
yw...
I have in 7 pen, what does the other 7 begin with?
i found it never mind
haven't gotten that far yet...
i have both7s now
cool...
pen do you have ra 5/16?
yes....add a consonant to previous word...
the oen i added to is now a 5/14 not a 16? i added an s
there is another consonant you can add...
ty
i am done...
once i listed, it wasn't so bad...;o)
congrats
ty...
it helped to look at the different letters when there are two of one letter....like ea can go from the right side or from the left...
that's true
sometimes i get locked into only one of those letters...
that's not hard to do though:)
yes...
ra 5/16?
that's the one that you add the consonant to....
add it to the previous word...
hint...it sounds like the previous word... ;o)
finally got it
i really hate the fact that liaison is spelt liaison and not liason
like not just because of this grid, i just hate it anyway
it makes sense in french... ;o)
i know but
it still annoys me
hi hurshy
we spell mayday mayday, not m'aidez
hi

good afternoon, ruby
hi car. and nan
Hello everyone!
is html5 a webpage editing program mlf?
Hi kids.
hi scrabbs
Hello!!!!
I am back from the Adirondack Mtns and I just finished going through 155 emails that I missed since last Sunday.
Wow! Did you have a great time?
a hiking trip scrabbs?
Yes! One very tough hike to St Regis Mtn. 6.8 miles round-trip with the last 45 minutes to the summit being very challenging. But the views from the summit and firetower made the hike worth it.
And three great kayaking adventures.
wonderful!
you must be in a lot better shape than I! -- a lot younger too!
it takes me 20 minutes to walk 2km on fairly level ground
I will be 58 in about 6 weeks although I act like a 12 year old. That hike was our cardiac stress test and we passed.
well yes then --- you are just a few years older than my daughter
And you look much younger than your age
Thanks, Car. I use sun protection and lead a healthy lifestyle.
I wish I only got 155 emails.. I get hundreds per day
Why so many? For business?
business and my ex wife :D
Does your ex-wife stalk you?
no.. not really
but a couple players here do :D
My Ex and I are friends so it's ok.. she's just a little anal about sending a million emails a week
Babblers stalk you?
yes.. just two
Have you blocked them?
not just me though.. I
oh.. they don't have my email.. just stalk me in other ways
You are a popular man, Ruru.
I guess.. but I'd rather not be popular in that way :D
are you holidaying in BC ru?
just did nan.. it was wonderful.. gorgeous, stimulating, relaxing and perfect weather
where did you go? -- obviously on the island as you didn't mention smoke!
I'm seriously considering retiring up there
I went to a hotel just outside of Tofino
no smoke where I was
the sunshine coast -- lovely
it was as beautiful as I remembered it from before
are you a fisherman?
no.. I don't kill things
only asked, because it is a popular spot for deep sea fishing
I went deep sea whale watching though.. does that count?
I wanted to see tufted puffins but sadly they weren't there
sure - that's something on my bucket list --- hubby not much of a water person though
we saw and followed a pod of Orcas and saw one gray whale
maybe I should stick to river cruises :D
Cool.
ha
I knocked off one thing off my bucket list
did you have a nice vacation scrabs?
Wonderful--kayaking, hiking, Scrabble, reading, and lots of laughing.
I took some books to read..but never got to them.. the beaches were just too inviting
that's good.. it's good to get away from work scrabs
cyber no apparently its a replacement for adobe flash
I finished my book in 4 days and should have brought another.
I lugged a big heavy book and never got to it.. I should have left it home
last re 6 please?
maybe it's time to invest in an e-reader
cyber the only one I have is the one ending in an n I am looking for the other two
re + move your boat in the water
I'm old-fashioned in that way nan.. gotta have a book in my hands
ty - was totaly blind to that one
ruru I agreee
sorry I don't understand that clue?
think about it a minute mlf
fa 5/20 please?
i'm thinking I'm thinking and that's not working lol
Tinkerbelle is a fa5
ty for the fa word ruru
I used to think I could never enjoy an e-reader, but I'd be lost without mine now. They are just so easy to take anywhere with you and I don't have to make the trip to the library for my books as the libraries all have online lending now
think that's the English spelling
mmm - no fairy and no faerie
cyber I don't know anybody who uses those things anymore but I don't know why eiteher
cyber change the I in the one spelling of the word
oh - duh - ty
yw
still need help with that boat clue please?
resail
that ship has sailed mlf
the as5 plz
use what things mlf?
as + the king of Siam's main squeeze
ty ruru
yul welcome :D
things?
on my way -- think I'll head out to the farmer's market this am. Hagd everyone.
oh the reader's
e book etc
oh -- some people download books to their smartphone and I don't think young people know how to read --- they just watch TV and text each other ad nauseum
lol cyber I don't have a cell phone and I have read the beginning of some books online
other then that I get the actual book if I want to read it
I read at least 5 books a week and find the e-reader a great convenience
that's so cool cyber :)
5 books a week! I aim for 1 book every 1-2 weeks, if I have the time.
maybe by pressing a button or moving your finger across a screen is faster then turning the pages of a book?
I am also old school. While I have a few books loaded up on my phone for convenience reading (doctor office waits, etc) I prefer the feel of a real book in my hands and real pages to turn.
I agree with that molly
I love the smell of books too.. can't do that with an e reader
(if you did, someone would call the cops)
i love both paperback books and hardcovers too
i also love coffee table books!
hey scrabs.. I have a joke for you
I am ready to laugh and groan, Ruru.
what did the nurse say when she found a thermometer in her blouse pocket
What?
"some asshole has my pen somewhere"
<---guesses medical jokes are not funny around here
Haha! I wondered if that was the punch line.
my first re 6/18 ends in n is that the first or the 2nd re 6/18?
I have re6/18 = to zip around again in a boat powered by the wind
the first 6/18 I have is before that one
I don't have your re6.
is their a re**** you don't have it yet scrab?:)
Got it.

Greetings, all!

Sat is a past tense

ty Bugs
Thanks bugsaw...was stumped thinking of a clue!
I have my moments but I am not often a good cluer Champ
Well...there's been some wine over here...dulled my already not fabulous cluing skills. :)
would so love a glass of wine right now. Just signed up for pottery classes in September to challenge myself with something new and creative.
That's great! You're going to have to post pictures of your creations.
probably not. this will be the first time in over 45 years trying this medium
Whew. I thought you signed up for pot classrs
don't need help there thanks ruru. Just don't tell my kids
some of them think I am so pure ':)
I'm a big proponent of not admitting things until they're over 30. If you tell them earlier, they just think it's a survivor story....must be ok for them too.
mine are all over 30 now and know I am not the same Mum that raised them. hee hee
:)
ao
Oops! Sorry!
Yeah well my grades in pot classes would go up in smoke👀
oh crap, he is on a roll !
Good one bugs
hardly ever happens that I can think of them on cue
love your flag, by the way
Teacher to class:" class... reefer to chapter 5"
Yeah. I left part of me there in BC
I think Haida Gwai will speak to you as well.
perhaps
I am looking forward to it.. I think i'll spend three days up there and one or two in Courtney
I just scrolled through the chog and noticed that Peri asked for a clue and did NOT immediately find the word before the clue was given. Peri, I think that's the first time I've seen that happen in years. Heat stroke from your Jersey Shore excursion?
Shoot, it's a full hour gone by. I missed my chance to tell Peri how jealous I am of her superpower.
