sorry
Ruby O'Foo. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
And to you, my friend! l'm filled with Irish resolve this morning
l think "kelley" suffices!
It does indeed. I was just trying to "Irish up" your Babble name. : D
Erin go bragh, all.
*Passes around Irish coffees and soda bread with honey
There's rugby on the telly later (England v Ireland) and music down the pub later, where there is also pizza and a beer festival. Could be worse. Just wish it would stop snowing
lt's never too early. l think there are fewer Irish people here than Americans -- moi and my friends from Dublin who are only here at Christmas
My angel J'rome, the masseur, was just here for my 15-min massage, a offee and aa hand with the recalcitrant fire.
He was a Professional rugby player before and is ENORMOUS!
érome*
A big, good looking man to give you cofee, a massage and light your fire. It doesn't get much better than that.
Jérôme* (having trouble with the j's)
First run through and have 8 words left to find.
Hello, Ruby,Molly and Matty :-)
zzooozz is a smarty pants! Firstyt run-through and l have 28 left
Top o' the mornin' to you ;)
No snow here, Matty but it has gotten cold again. around 3c here.
There is a pint with your name on it at the PB bar, Zoom.
They're predicting snow for tomorrow and very cold weather all week.
Nice will enjoy that, Molly thanks!
lt's almost 11, late enough for an Irish coffee!
Hah!
The forsythia opened, but ther daffs have taken a real beating between the changes in the temps and the big paws of the pups
What did you used to say, Ruby? something like it is always 8pm somewhere in the world lol
Yeah the daffs have been out for some time here.
l think it was 5PM, cocktail time
Ah yes that was it!
Cocktail time is different as a widow; l can drink (much less, however), whenever l feel like!
I have a Ri 7 but in the chat log it there was also a Ti 7 and a im 7 called. Well there are only two 7s. Anyone know which one it is?
You're joking, right? l can't even find nbt!
I do not drink much either, Ruby. i might have a beer now and again.
Do you have the Ri 4/4 Ruby?
l take oxy and am advised not to drink much or at all
no I'm 7
ha ha! I'm!
stupid computer!
Ah thank you, Dippnall so the Ti 7 it is then.
I knew what you meant :-)
That's pretty Young, dipp!
old as you feel ... ancient today!
l have 2 ri4's but don't know if they're the ones
also no d or l's!
Not the double consonant one.
add an everyday two letter word on the end and plural.
aah, l found the movie theatre, TY
Welcome.
I always feel worse when I first wake up than when I first went to bed lol
When people "call" words that are not correct, someone should say something. Lots of people go back to the beginning of chat for clues.
Oops, never mind. The person who called the 7 corrected themself.
Oh yes so they did. And right afterwards too. I think I should get glasses.
Sometimes we only see what we are looking for. (That could be the opening sentence of an essay on bad relationships)
LOL
Exactly!
l thought there was a da word for one of the castes in India, but l can't find it
Still no D or i's but at least l have my fire and my pains de raisins
I have a atomic mass unit, Ruby. DA 6/21
Of course, hahah! l have no idea
ends in 2000lb
thank you for spoon-feeding me
No worries!
l ttook physics almost 60 yrs ago and wasn't good at it then, either
lol
Jérôme insists that l Watch the rugby, even though l don''t understand the rules of the game
He is too big to refure!
He is too big to refure!
refuse*
Not too keen on rugby myself.
Ruby, rugby is easy. There are no rules. You can pass the ball in any direction. The idea is to score as many points and hurt as many people as possible. And you drink a lot while watching. There. Easy.
The rules are simple, Ruby. men gather round in a group hug and have a chat then the throw a ball in and everyone goes mad for the ball like throwing a stick to a dog and they chase it around a field . The other group are jealous and want to join in so they run after the other group of men to see if they can get it. And they beat each other up whilst doing it.
See, Zoom gets it. : D
LOL
I bet I have offended any rugby fans that are here.
I forgot about the scrum, otherwise known as the "look at my butt" formation.
haha!
I doubt it Zoom. Rugby fans usually have good senses of humor. The dry people watch polo.
Football is pretty much the same, Ruby. But for whimps as when anyone goes near them for the ball they normally fall on the fall and roll around as though they have had there leg broken.
Their*
I think all my wit has been wasted as Ruby seems to have gone to watch the rugby game.
The scrum is the bum feeling spider dance
Teehee!
Matty? When did you take that photo of me in your icon?
Haa! You were in Melbourne? I knew you seemed familiar
Well I have only found one word in the last 30 mins or so. I have no time left now. will come back later to see if I can try and find them. Happy babbling everone!
Have fun. I shall shower and dress soon
Fireworks and shower time. Have a great day all!
Tsk tsk!!! Horrified at the lack of understanding of rugby. Theres only 2 things you guys need to know. 1. Rugby is a game played by men with oddly shaped balls, and 2. Ireland will (hopefully) win the Geand Slam today. Happy St Patricks Day :-)
l love my "personal ruger"
((soodle)) when will you be back? l'll phone up then
Everybody, even the English, want Ireland to win!
Back on Tuesday, Rubes. I look forward to speaking with you.
rugger*
l have to waztch the match because Jérôme will question me about it on Monday
I love home rugby games. The President of Ireland is about 5ft tall. Before the games he walks along the line of gigantic rugby men, looking even more leprachaunish.
Fireworks.
clue ri7? and stats for other 7 please?
plural of ri6 - ri4/4 + ** whom it may concern
l just hobbled up to the mailbox in the freezing rain &, happily, got lovely mail
lt makes me warmer!
wonderful! :-)
Ruby, our weather is NUTS -- high today 79!
My sister sends envelopes filled with funny/interesting clippings from several NY papers plus acrostic puzzles from the Times
l get the Times, but not the acrostics
The joy of communication by real mail is becoming lost. Nice to hear someone is still enjoying it.
what a treat! When I lived in France, my mom used to do that :-)
The weather is terrible; l think Spring has passed the Haute-Savoie, but the fire is cozy & maybe l've gotten used to it
off to feed the pups -- back in a bit
My sister is wonderful!
ty unea
A wonderful sister is good to have. I have one too.
l am very fortunate!!! Good friends and sisters, what a combination
see you later. Time to charge up
Erin go bragh!
co 5/22, pls
like co5/12
but with the high point tile

Hi kids. Tiny grid today.
How goes Scrabble Wars?
fw and back to bed for me, bb tonight at flip
vampire is my phantom in this grid
kinda sucks that it isn't there
LOL
Fireworks
Have a great St. Patrick's Day everyone!
congrats car!
car! nooooooo I missed you!
you two don't see each other much trif?
not enough, considering we live in the same damn town....schedules do not line up AT ALL
oh.. I kinda thought you lived near each other
we do, that's the crime of it - three miles and a world apart
wow.. but she has little kids still doesn't she? that would keep her busy
she has teens, so yeah, lol
my brother lives about an hour and a half from me.. I kind of like it that way :D
indeed. close enough to be there in times of emergency, far enough away that everyone can breathe
true
this is an easy grid trif you can bang it out in no time
both of my sisters live near me, but we are all so everywhere all the time that we rarely orbit the same places. I do see Kardresa often enough - at my mother's nursing home!
I am glad you estimate me so highly, ruru - we will see!
I've been meaning to ask have you two set a date yet? or just choosing to continue to live in sin :D
we pretty much already took care of it....as far as it is going to go, methinks. WAY too complicated legally, thanks to mr hate, who carefully crafted what has turned out to be legal cage for me
I introduce him to people as my husband.....
oh wow.. I get it.. say no more
count for the bottom center I word please? Does it use the science prefix?
im 6
hmmm. thanks
are there two im6? i found one from your clue and it's from the top i
ah, found an old chevy....
there are two im 6
ugh. ;) thanks
your ex husband sounds like a doozy trif.. what an asshole
its very upsetting. it would be so much nicer if we were friends....but his new husband will have NONE of that, and mr hate has turned out to be a very disappointing person.
I'm trusting karma to sort it all out
I'm so glad I worked on trying to maintain a friendship in my divorce.. it makes life so much easier
but then I gave her everything she wanted and more so
that is NOT how it worked out here.....but you know what? I HAD to learn to stand on my own. I am not sure I would have pursued my Master's with such fervor if I was receiving alimony and had health insurance covered. I found a voice again, and can stand on my own two feet, at least philosophically. And someday financially. HE will burn in hell. Don't want to be married anymore? Actually homosexual? Fine. Everyone should live their truth. But TAKE CARE of those you left behind. Which he did not.
personally, my beloved is an upgrade in every way it counts. so that's all good.
I tried to make sure she had everything she needed. I gave her more than I needed to.. but I wanted her to be ok. I know it's expensive not having a 24 hour personal servant around now that I'm gone
that's good trif... out with the bad and in with the good
he wanted that for HIMSELF. He drove a Mercedes while the kids were on the free lunch plan - true story
that's not right
I find it hard to silence the soundtrack he left behind. I was SO tempted to rub my 4.0 in his smug face. But that only makes me sound nuts
the kids come first
living your best life is the best revenge, trif
I agree with that Leslie.. completely
you don't have to convince me! HE thinks he was more than fair. whatever. I did a GREAT job with the kids, and they can certainly see beyond the ends of their noses. They are great people, and someday, if they choose to have their own children, a lot will be revealed to them.
<--- just about to start living his best life soon
congrats :)
girds your loins, everyone! Ruru is roaring!
speaking of beloved, he is in the kitchen, grilling a hamburger and repeating "call me Ishmael!" to himself - I'm getting a tad concerned....lololol
?
he
I don't even know anymore...suspect he is just hungry, lol
I certainly hope so
"When the well-read are hungry....."
I'm going up to BC next month to look at properties.. can't wait
oh, to the island you spoke of before? It's SO lovely!
I was hoping to buy something straight out.. but my tax accountant said that wouldn't be a good idea
good morning all
good morning nan
Is your tax consultant aware of the pending provincial tax on properties purchased by non-residents of the province?
yes.. we're aware of it .. that's why I'm trying to move faster and be grandfathered in
It could be as much as 15% -- this is in addition to the exixting property transfer tax of 10%.
yes.. it might ruin things for me if so.. I'm hoping they have to take more time to sort it out while I buy something before it happens
can you legally be a resident of more than one province?
sorry, poor sentence construction...
That I can't answer.. I doubt it though
to be fair, I don't think Americans can be residents in more than one state either
i just want a little slice of heaven for 5 months a year :D
no -- you are considered a resident in whichever province your main residence is located (where you pay income tax)
oh absolutely!
At least this way Ru, you will see what the island is like other than during the summer.
if i had to live up there full time nan.. i think that would be fine too.. that may be a few years down the road for me though.. i can picture living up there full time and enjoying my retirement
my son lives in one state but works in another - than in itself is enough fun to keep a tax pro very busy
another consideration is that property values are on the rise again -- we've had a 10-15% jump over the winter in tourist attractive areas.
our business taxes are done now.. just have to file personal taxes soon. i guess one weekend soon is going to be blown
it is still affordable to me nan.. I just need to buy when the American dollar is stronger than the Canadian Dollar.. it's currently quite a difference
yes -- you have that advantage -- a gift from Donald
well... that makes me feel a whole lot better :D
yes well, we too are keeping a close eye on faang
well.. off to feed the doggies and start my day.. have a good day everyone

Everyone I meet today is looking for Erins gold bra!

Over my head. Could I get a clue for ti7, please?
it's a drum marc.. usually spelled differently
I think it is a kind of drum Marc
thanks
I guess we beat that drum clue a bit
the cymbalism in the chat is really on point today :D
it's hard to snare a good drum joke to be honest
I'd have thought I'd have gotten a rim shot by now
Ori will have to come down from her HI-Hat to participate in this one

hi all you lurkers
yo Gwen. how are you?
enjoying a lazy saturday. how bout you?
enjoying a lazy Sunday.... loll
(!) we'll catch up to you guys one of these days LOL
met up with dan2bits yesterday. he is the nicest young man. we had some good aussie fun.
sounds good
how is the weather in your neck of the woods?
we are in the season which I call Thaw -- the two months from mid-Feb to mid-Apr when temperatures go crazy. today was nice but snow will be back soon
we are having another hot patch. yesterday and today temps in the high 20's and mid 30'sC
yesterday was a Total Fire Ban for most of my state.
we'll get that weather in July-august
and my poor roses don't know what to do with themselves. when all else fails, have another flowering session... loll
total fire ban -- you mean no outdoor burning, no bonfires, no fun whatsoever?
and my air orchid is out doing itself, and has decided to throw THREE new flower stalks.
lolll.... no fire-lighting, not even the BBQ.
do they ban indoor fires, too? not that you would want one, i suspect
not sure, Gwen. as you say, we wouldn't want an indoor fire anyway. but you can use your gas cooker inside.
oh thank goodness for that1
*giggle* mind you, cold collations are all the rage in summer.
4 to go
4 in 14 minutes.... goooo Gwen
