I have two to find still
hi sprite
hehehe good for you, ru
gnight ru
it was getting a bit shaggy for me even
good night nan
everything seems better when your hair is okay
well.. it's be even better if I could hang onto my hair :D
you're going to finish this grid in minutes sprite
it's going real fast for sure. Too easy by half?
where's GR?
probably busy with family
ah.. could be
I hope I'll be able to stay awake tonight! Am awake since 2 am, meeting this morning, work this afternoon. Something tells me I'll be asleep before the new year starts :)
ha.. I'm going out tomorrow.. so i'll be up
that is nice! We are staying home, so nobody will be offended when I doze off tonight.
I guess if you're tired .. you're tired and rest is needed
well said
some nights when it is cold here.. and the dogs want to go to bed.. I just give up and call it a night
I know that feeling. I do the same thing. Lovely to be in a warm bed with a warm doggy behind my legs, knowing there is nothing else I have to do for the day
I'm waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I can put the last load in.. had my ex over for dinner
I hope you had a good time together. And yay for dishwashers. I just started the load from yesterday evening. Will be done when I get home from the meeting.
so nice that you can maintain a friendly relationship, Ru
meeting?
*hugs flosey*
fw and off to bed, good night all
yeah flosey it is nice.. we're back to being friends again
yeah, OA meeting.
oh.. good for you sprite.. that sounds healthy
Hi Sprite and Ru and everyone else still here!
hi kama
I used to go to Al-Anon meetings
it is. Working my way through the steps and already noticing changes for the better in my eating habits.
hiya Kam *hugs* Good to see you! How have you been?
Healthy changes are good for us. Hard road to travel, takes work. But we're better off!
very true. Worth the work for certain.
Cold trip to Reno, lol - 10 degrees when we got up one morning - and we were in a trailer behind our friend's house. Brrr!
I didn't know, ru, that is great.
brrrr that is cold, Kam! *sending warm vibes to Kam*
trailer.. I bet that was chilly
(note to self to now nickname Kama Trailer Swift)
We're home to "normal" temps now - house can stay toasty if we need it to be!
hahaha, Ru!
I keep my house cool for the dogs
Sweet friend was concerned more about our privacy - we did have some heat out there, but DH can't sleep all night without a trip, ya know?
the weather is crazy here. It is freezing cold one moment, positively balmy the next. Seems we'll be having the warmest NY in ages this year.
I know. I know. Always have to go at least once a night myself :)
i get up a lot more than that
I think the cold just kept me under the blankets, lol! We had 4 wool blankets and a really cozy, heavy blanket. The last night we had an extra heater, and I had so many layers on that I was too warm about 3AM.
better to warm and unwrap, than too cold and already wearing everything you brought :)
i can't sleep with a lot of blankets .. i run too hot to do that
Ru, I swear, guys are cursed...my poor DH has been trying to sleep since we got home on Thurs nite and has been up every 60-90 minutes...doc appt Tues...hope we can get some help
sorry for him.. but i shouldn't be bladdering on about the subject then :D
TMI, I know, sorry
you could tell him I said "Urine good company"
he was up in the wee hours of the night
lol good one
::giggle:: - but I think I'll wait till after the doc appt
;)
Poor man is miserable
hopefully he doesn't get mad at the Doctor's office.. the one thing Doctor's hate are pissy patients :D
He does wake me up in those wee hours...
Nah, his doc is awesome
it's important to keep the pees
that depends sprite :D
lol!
I think Sprite knew about the 2 week catheter nightmare...don't know how to put a pun on that one...I did tell him I'd go get depends if he could get sleep and handle it...no response...
I hope the doc has a remedy for him, Kam. We are making fun, but we know it is rotten for him
I know!
yeah.. i can relate.. it's a drag
another night down the tubes
GROAN
and co5ing....
fireflies
Yay! Happy New Year - whenever the clock turns in your area!
Happy New Year to you and yours too. May it bring you health and pees of mind... errrr... peas... peace! :P
*hugs Kam and ru on her way out, and leaves a hug in chog for rose to find*
see you all on the other side
hahahaha! whatever...pees on Earth to all, er, peace, peas, and most of all not so many pees

Well, it sounds like all those people planning on being in Times Square tonight to watch the ball drop should wear about five layers of warm clothing. Brrr.
Not something I would enjoy...
hi there.
Morning, Trif.
pipes froze and burst in the playroom, waiting on the guy to come check it out. Anyone know how to identify which valve goes to which heating zone? Feel free to weigh in now!
What a mess you have...Sorry, no idea.
the guy told me to google it, so I could shut it off before he got here. As if! I gave up after "rotate through the solenoid counter clockwise...."
Can't you just shut off the main for a while?
anger is, all the pipes could freeze then. its only six degrees out.
but yeah, I guess I could, for a few hours

Easy little grid today...bzzz...

it's minus 9 in Iowa this morning. High to be about zero today.
about 20 here in chapel hill.
a few days ago in Wisconsin It was minus and in the teens
We have so much snow that I hate to miss a day in the woods, but it is likely to be a miserable experience.

I don't get NYE. We just start a new calendar.
I'm staying home tonight. and warm.
Any excuse to get drunk
mixi us too
it's the celebration of weeks of scratching out the wrong year on cheques and other documents
I'm staying home & making pot roast in the Crock Pot.
I will be in bed before 10, as usual, then get woken up when the ski resort across the valley shoots off fireworks for the celebration.
So true, Bonkler.
can you see them from your windows>?
sounds good scrabbler.
We live near two wedding venues. It gets very noisy
Maybe, but I have never gotten out of bed to look.
bichon oh geez
srab maybe just once you should look?:)
scrab
Awful, bichon. The drunks must spill outside all of the time.
OK, maybe tonight, MLFAN.
you can stay awake just once scrab:)
We don't live that near, but it's the fireworks around bed time. Plus Marco freaks out
I get woken up, MLFAN, but I need to get out of bed.
well just put a blanket around yourself and just take a quick peek:)
I think I outgrew fireworks years ago
I have to keep myself from tearing up when I hear the song
Me too, bichon. The anthem, MLFAN? Me too.
i love fireworks - i don't think i will ever outgrow the fun of watching them
yes scrab ugghh lol

peri and origami I seem to be getting worse
is epsom a proper name or am I misspelling it?
proper.
its a type of salt isn't it?
i think the spelling is correct...
proper noun
must be a brand name...Epsom Salt? I wouldn't think so
Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulphate
no.. but that's the place of one of the earliest discoveries
right, so why is Epsom capitalized/
It is named after a sulfur spring in Epsom
aha
Sorry...saline spring
if you have a stack of fish, wouldn't it be a codpile?
I recently learned some of the many ways you can use Epsom salt...I was astonished!
I have mo 5/14 ending in r clue for the other mo 5 pls?
I did not know that it also can be called epsomite
mo 5/14 ends in a T
to get on a horse ML
duh ty
i tried that one mool - thinking it might be akin to a codpiece
I really wanted codlips to be a word :-)

lpscdahmu....
aww.. i didn't get the physics words on my own. :-(
I'd rather eat warm prunes
less work with the juice...
I have no opinion on the form of prunes I'd rather be consuming
ROFL!!
nor whether they should be thermally regulated or not
you will at some point in time, mool...
heh
touche
ah, there's the 7
down to one word
Here's hoping everyone's "mail" moves regularly in the New Year. (What a topic for chat conversation)
ty, molly....
I tried prunes once, I like the soft part of the but notthe rubber part
Too bad ru isn't here to get the puns um "flowing"
we can start our own run
dried prunes did not work well for me....warm juice much better...
don't start, mool...
I like stewed prunes
my mother did, too...
Yeah, that's the only person I've ever seen eating them before. My mom.
It's okay pen, I'll just stick to regular topics
my 6 year old daughter loves prunes
mu5?
good for you...
mool really?

pl of the 4 before
my granddaughter loves dates.
she's not really into dates, and I'd prefer her to wait ;)
ha!
my mother made a great dates cake...
ha..saw that coming
sounds like a real tongue twister pen
oh? I don't really cook with them. I should try.
ba-da-da-dum, thank you folks, I'll be here until I get my last word
mool well it will keep her unblocked
I could throw out a colloquialism there, but I won't :)
I think she wants to block..at least dates
it was my dad's favorite....and my brother's....
Was it heavy?
why not mool
clue for the lone t? is it a ts?
tw...
nope
aha! thx
not a ts
Ohhh.. looking at recipes now. :-) People seem to like to put caramel topping on date cake.
well ML, one it might offend, and two it is actually the literal opposite
mool ohhh
:)
my mother did not....just simple white frosting as i recall....but i do like caramel!
I cant find this mu 4/5 lol
oh, and there's fw
think sub-atomic partical

wtg mool!

fw. last word sp5

I am better than 1/2 way. On my first run through.
so no clues for you?
not yet. Thanks.
ok, happy new year!
To you as well.
I am home from work, sick today.
I am usually a lurker but wanted to say how much I enjoy "listening" to all of you, pretty much on a daily basis, and to wish everyone here a happy and healthy New Year.
(a nice lurker.. :D.. what a refreshing change :D)
Happy New Year to non-lurkers and lurkers everywhere!
Happy New Year, Summer Breeze. Nice to see that some people don't lurk for nefarious purposes.
and Happy New Year to all from another Lurker!
My husband and I enjoy Babbling together, but our work schedules have been preventing us from playing. I do miss reading all of your wonderful posts, and hope to play more in the near future when our schedules are to change.
happy new year to you, too, Mrs. T....and to Summer Breeze and all the other lurkers...
(wonders if Mr. and Mrs. T are enjoying Margaritas for New Years)
does the PB have any?
probably not.. but now we know who to hit up for some :D
and happy new year to Mr. T, too!
no margaritas, but we are planning to share a nice bottle of wine!
cool!...i have some lemoncello in the fridge....i think i will have some of that...
(obscure joke on Mr. and Mrs. T's Margarita Mix in the stores)
obscure, i am afraid...i did not know where you were coming from....
my mind and humor follow strange paths in this place :D
i can relate to that...
wow! did not know that we were selling margarita mix! hope the checks will come in soon.... :)
is the groan count going to reset tonight?
I think we can break out some champagne (not to be confused with "champers") in the PB to celebrate the New Year.
I will try it if i can find it in the store...
good idea, molly....
yes.. unfortunately.. it was a slow year for me.. hoping to get more next year.
good luck!...i will enjoy the attempts... ;o)
i'll never beat the record
what's the record?....
I think Erda and another player I used to get easy groans from went away.. or the other explanation is that people are used to my sick humor and don't have the energy to groan any longer :D
201
whoa!...that would be hard to break...
yeah.. I was on a roll that year.. lots of free time to cook up sick jokes
yes, i think people have gotten used to your puns....and more people are providing response puns...
Some people/Ruru fans are easily prone to groaning : P
<--ruru wishes he was prone to groaning too :D
*not going there*....
(maybe that should have been moaning...)
tout du change, tout du meme
qua?
plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose... ;o)
thankis penq
hi hego....
For even under standing what I wa getting at.
ha!...
:D
well.. off to watch my 49ers end a disastrous season in futility
Happy New Year to you guys.. hope you have a nice one and a safe one
Enjot Ru
ditto, ru....
enjoy
i was going to put away all the Christmas stuff, but I did not get around to it...perhaps tomorrow....
I will wait a few days.
Usually till twelfth night.
perhaps i will, too....i have a family Christmas party next weekend...not here, but my stuff will keep me in the spirit....
my mother always insisted that everything come down on New Year's....
Right!
Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful New Year .... from a happy and devoted Babbler!!!! See you in 2018.
Happy New Year Mo

Thx, montreal
How fantastic to see you, Trif!
dying laughing here - the smoke detector at the very top of the cathedral ceiling in the "teen room" has been beeping for a week. She said she was "having some friends over" for a party tonight, and could we figure out how to change the battery? We were puzzling it out, when here comes her boyfriend, and his friends from college - all of whom are WELL over six feet!
Well, HEY there Gulliver, and nice to see you! Smoke detector is all set!
soodle, I wish you every happiness in 2018.
How about thtat top corner n?
ei,, that is a ne5, the weird babblet that is ONLY plural
Thx!
I'm literally on my way out to the pub, to raucously ring in the New Year. My ability to Babble on my return is in doubt. So- Happy New Year!
happy new year darling - PLEASE come to boston!
I have greyed the entire left column - FEAR ME
too funny... .I initially read that as I'm on my way to rehab..
Happy New Year celebrations to all good Babble folks. Wishing everyone much happiness in 2018.
