good morning all
or7
coooooeeeee rooooooseeeee!
cooooooooeeeeeee spriiiiiiiiiteeee
yay, there she is :D *hugs rose* Hello dear friend, how have you been?
ha ! my cooee was longer than yours
*giggles*
very tired. up with the sparrows so i wouldn't be late for church. okay now, but yawning my head off already and it is just 6pm.
hugs my darling girl. have you had a good night? and did you catch up with yourself a bit yesterday? rest-wise ?
*sends rose a truckload of energy* You are taking very good care of yourself, aren't you?
well i am sitting here, with a glass of pseudo sangria, feet up, chatting to you. how am i doing thus far?
just home from a night shift. My sleeping is a bit bumpy of late, and am tired. Trying to get back some structure in my days, which is very challenging for me with Rob home 24/7. Not his fault, btw, but with the ptsd I tend to focus on him, in stead of doing my own thing.
apart from the pseudo part, you are doing awesome :D
try and find time for you honey. you know how important it is. just say something like....going upstairs for a nanna nap, sweetie. and give him a kiss for reassurance.
I see that your SIL is in the grid today
lolll, yeah, and i didn't even register.
yeah, that is not the problem. The problem is, there is 'something not right' in my home. This makes me antsy and kinda panicky. And to manage that, I focus on what is 'not right', i.e. Rob... like I used to do as a child, being hyper alert and trying to 'fix' things.
hey how about FANGO, as you usher your SIL back out the door?
of course, I know better, so I put a brake on myself... and then I tend to become to passive...
too*
lol @ fango!
hmmm, hard to find the middle of that road, honey.
very. Have discussed it with Noud, who had some nice practical suggestions. Am gonna work with a schedule on the whiteboard. Should make it visible to myself AND to Rob. We'll get there.
btw, yester eve, son simon, wife lucinda, and all the kids rode their bikes over to granny rose's. it was just lovely. ikt was warmish still, and i greeted them at the door with a plate of freshly cut watermelon and canteloupe. we had the best time ever.
it was nice, btw... Noud said he enjoyed working with me. Because I have already done so much, and I work hard with the tools he gives me.
oh wow, sounds like perfect family time, rose. And what a warm welcome, with cool melon :D
and later, little Brax came out asking for an icy pole. Lu said, do they know where to look? and i said, yup, this is granny's house and they know exactly where to look. Lu was stunned.
:D grannyrose is the best grandma there is!
i told her not to start on the kitchen cupboards. those kids have memories like an elephant.
especially for goodies
*chuckling * i went to sleep last night still giggling at how the two older ones sent out the youngest to ask.
:D
and they all voluntarily came to give me a hug and kiss goodbye, no prompting.
those are the best hugs
how is Rob doing, sweetie? and Caya and Tim? if not here, email me with the answers. okay?
I have amazing news re. Tim.
Rob and Caya are about the same.
yes !!!???!!!
Tim has been accepted at the university for brewer in Scotland. He will start in september!
oh wow !! what wonderful news. but such a long wait. is he okay with that ?
where abouts in scotland?
edinborough. Heriot Watt University
nah, not a long wait at all. He still has to arrange for living and work there! Half a year is cutting it close as it is.
omg, he will come home speaking dutch with an edinborough accent. i would kill myself to be there.
we are over the moon. First of all because Tim is actually going to study again, after a year of working. Am so glad he is putting that brain of his to work. And then, for us, it means we can move forward with our wish to live a simpler life.
he is gonna learn to speak scots! Can't wait to hear it, lol.
a friend of mine went to scotland to train in hyperbaric medicine, particularly the hyperbaric chamber for divers with the bends. he is italian, came home speaking like a pakistani with a scots accent. it just my mind. couldn't stop laughing for weeks.
*just blew*
:D
did you see my post of 1.11 am re. Noud?
yes. you are one amazing woman which even Noud acknowledges.
made me feel good, that's for sure.
you should be so chuffed. push out the chest of yours, but warn anyone who approaches. don't want to hurt anyone, do we ??
no we don't, lol. But sure am chuffed.
brb, should eat some breakfast
hokay
back with bread
THAT'S breakfast.. tsk
enough for now, lol. So much better than skipping breakfast.
*sigh*
*munches and pats self on shoulder... well done sprite*
naughty sprite... have some fresh fruit, a glass of milk anything but....
already had two lattes this night during the night shift. Now eating bread. Fruit and yoghurt later today, after the meeting.
hokay, so long as you do.
every day, honey.
brb, need to get meds ready.
okay m'dear
fireflies. An easy grid. Too many compounds though, lol.
WTG SPRITE !!
*Hugs* and lots of love, honey. Sleep well tonight, rest up a little, and good luck with tomorrow's plans.
thanx honey. you have a great day too. love to Rob
will do. Hug Don from me.
First run-through -- 91 and nbs
Still on mine, Ruby. At the 59 words found stage.
Good morning ((zzoozz))
Are you feeling better?
How are you today? ((Ruby))
lt's starting to feel like spring, butit's still cold at night
I am not too bad thanks. Been putting cream on my sore and so far it has not got out of hand. So sort of pleased.
Can I have stats please, for the O in the lower left corner? And the crocuses are out here :)

Hello, Matty :-)
Morning Zooz and Ruby :)
Hope you have a nice time, Ruby!
My daffs have buds, but only the primroses are open (and they're wild, so unpredictable)
They feed memost Sundays and sometimes walk the dogs after lunch
Nothing is jumping out at me with that bottom O sorry.
Never mind. I just need that and either 8 for nbt/nbs but I'm not too worried

When it was still dark in the early morning, baby girl made me accompany her, even when the door was open

Enable does not like the word 'Faff' then lol
They are nice looking dogs too, Ruby.

Doesn't like anglo either
Enable has a lot of words to learn you know.

Yeah I know, Matty, I tried that on another grid just the other day too.
Of course if enable took slang words too the grid sizes would be a lot bigger :-)
No anglo, no afro.

See you later

There is a word like afro it except but can nont think of it now.

Howdy, Helen, I never really left. I just faded to the background for a while.

Before I fade back into the background, I, too, think it sounds way better than lurking...

Sean Connery was the best Bond of all time
not arched + walking appendage, MLF

this go 6 is killing me...it is the only word left for me to finish this stupid grid

Well done Buttonman. You may have been struggling because the go6 is a result of iodine deficiency.
My mistake.
was in the ballpark though. :)
Crossy. How lovely to see you. You have been sorely missed, my friend. (Hugs)
Nice to see you as well, Soodles, :)
it is nice to see and speak with some of my babble friends again. :)
:-) :-)
And how is Elegant, and that boy of yours?
Need to yo stay healthy, Soodles. Just had an update on our investments, and the soonest we can get over for a visit is in ten years when everything matures. :) Elegant is fine, a few health issues and her poor vision remains a problem, but she is well overall. Our "boy" is now a strapping 24 year old eating machine and healthy as a horse.
you to* you can see that my mad typing skillz remain unchanged...
Would help if I turn a light on so I can see what the heck I am doing. :)
Happy to hear the lad is doing well, Cross!! And, you now what? The news that yourself and Elegant will be visting these shores in 10 years mau be just enough to keep some of us alive for the next decade!!
Go 6,24
Neck growth from iodine deficiency.
There. got it right
Luv... A medical condition caused by lack of iodine.
My beloved is still dying to visit, Soodles, and I will be a wee slip of a lad freshly retired at 66 when the time comes
Goip
Crossy... It's a pleasure to see you back on Babble. I sorely missed Crossy's Fact of the Day.... and I missed your company. Welcome back, Bud!
Thanks
lol. yes. Crossy's titdbit of the Day. I had forgotten about that. :0
I Babble daily, but only infrequently interact with the chog..... The same people are inclined to dominate things, which I find a bit difficult to endure.... So it's always nice to see a non-combitant friendly face!
:-)
it is why I took a break as well--that and a new job, a new novel in the works that has stagnated, and of all things a completed new book of POETRY, of all things ready to send out for consideration or rejection. :)
Just a few more things to iron out before it can be viewed by others.
I may share one from time to time to test fire their worthiness
Whoa!! Go you Crossy!!
What is your new job?
Crikey!!! Who is looking after the Citiots?
I take care of a produce section at a local big box store--nothing fancy, but it keeps me in beer and skittles. :)
I am--still. I just have to deal with them in a different setting is all
LoL. Keep doing what your doing Cross, my friend!
it is so nice to see you again, (((Soodles.)))
Clues or stats for the 8s?
I have no arches left so I am fl 8/70
Dunno if you saw, my poor old Dad passed away on Jan 15th. I miss him in the most inappropriate places.... For example... I was in a shop yesterday. I saw a bag of liquorice allsorts and picked it up for him, cos liquorice was his favourite candy. As I was going to pay for them, it dawned on me that my poor old Dad was dead, and I collapsed into a mess of snot and tears...
I am so sorry, Soodles. No, I did not know that he passed. I know how you feel. I also lost my da just over a year ago. :(
Thoughts, smells, foods, and certain events can bring them right to your mind again.
Got th eop8. Stats or clue for the other 8?
I didn't know that , Cross. I'm sorry for your loss. I keep thinking I am coping, then I'm blindsided by something utterly unexpected.... like a song on the radio or a bag of candy....
Eieios...... if you have fallen arches, you could be described as a fl______
Poor soodles. the hurt will fade in time and the cherished memories will shine all the brighter. You will tell stories of funny or amazing things about him, and in that way he will live forever.
Cheers Cross. Appreciated :-) (((())))
Any joy, Eieios? Did you get the Fl clue?
I have that problem. I can still remember the agony when my arches dropped!
hai all

(gueses Rain is working on the F's)
guesses that is
Ru guesses correctly
and she can get distracted as easily as me. waves at Rainiqui
and wins a BRAND NEW CAR !!!!!!!
*gives the car to Saanichat*
waves back at you Bugsaw
and Saanich bows down to you and Rainqui forever
<--loves his old truck
I don't know that individual but it's all good!
saanichat lives up Bug's way.. great person
she could use a new car
she is a mutual friend of ours and she plays Babble occaisionally
another Canuck eh?
the best of the best, you know it
Bugs could use a new car that stops at red lights :D
I wish I could get my country listed - I've tried everything and nothing works
I only go thru them when you are in the car distracting me, ru
oh.. so it's my fault.. got it
your icon says you are in Windsor. Where did you come from?
you two are out west, yes?
Everything is your fault if I get my way, ru
Can't believe I was driving with a felon :D
LOL
I am in California Rain.. and Bugs is in BC
ruru lies. . . He wants to be a Canuck and loves to come up to visit but isn't here yet. I am on Vancouver Island
although I may be in BC in a few years permantently
permanently
that is why I said Yet
I'm still in Canada's southernmost city
<--- loves BC
which is that rain?
I love BC too
Windsor, Ontario just south of Detroit Michigan
it is just so beautiful there.. almost everywhere
oh
Did you come to Canada from somewhere else Rainqui or did I misunderstand?
I'm surprised Trump hasn't tried to annex Ontario
He wouldn't dare!!!!!
(yes he would)
anyone who can tweet on the toilet is capable of anything :D
I must say I am impressed with the outspokenness of the students from the school in Florida who are speaking out about gun control. I sure hope it works. It must be terrifying to be afraid to go to school
oh crap. he did that?
we are due for some serious changes as far as guns go in this country
every morning at 4-5 a.m. bugs
I really hope so for all your sakes.
I will not ask how you know that fact ruru. I am done now and must go work on some homework. Happy Babbling everyone
night bugs
Bugs - I was born in Windsor, good night
frow
(rain is still in the f's
do you have ESP, Ru?
