OK, now the mi7, then to bed.
hint - it's not miceman
got it, could be a legal error, I suppose.
OK, nbt, nbs, > halfwat,and all the the ≥ 7 letters. Mediocrity attained!
Or mi7 could be a typo of sorts, in and of itself.
yay, mediocity, yay melon :D
halway, not halfwat. I gotta hit the hay.
Thank TK! and goodnight!
[pouf]
only if you did it yesterday, lol
Okay first run through and I have 48 words left to find. Will try and come back later to see if I can find any more words. Happy babbling everyone!
My goodness! Your're a rock star! Hi and bye zooz :)
Good morning
My houseguests just left & l'm still catching my breath
Good morning ruby, coffee and peace and quiet in pritemps :)
They were ideal houseguest, actually would have been happy to sleep in their camper. But the guestroom and bath were clean and ready, and they were certainly more comfortable in the "luxe" suite!
3specially since it's wonderful & hot, but they had been living in the camper for 2>> weeks nd when it's hot out, the camper stays too hot to be comfortable
How long were they with you?
remembering the hot campers of my youth..bet they were very happy for coolness to sleep. How warm is it there now?
Only since Thursday and we ate lunch in restaurants, just grazed here at night and Jacky clened up afterwards, but still......l have no strength and amnot used to having company & conversation for hours!
lt'sclose to 90F in the afternoon, great for me after this cruel winter, but too hot for everybody else$
That must have been fairly wearing on you, though I'm sure you were glad of the company - just for a change of pace...
jacky and l played at least 10games of scrabble
That's a lot of Scrabble! Good games I hope :) Is she an old school chum?
Actually, we met online playing scrabble and have been playing (and chatting) daily for 8 or 9 years. They've been here twi before, usually en route to Italy.
twice*
This year, they made a detaour to see me because she was worried
How wonderful! A mini meet-up! Babble truly is a wonderful little world. Very glad that you have made such a nice firend - that you actually get to meet!
She was worried about you? (I am guessing you haven't revealed your secret identity as Wonder Woman to her then...)
Jacky knew how despairing l was during the cruel winter, but ready for my3rd cycle of chemo, l'm doing very well, so l'm less scared
l think l still have some time
tire
tires
twice
sorry -- no more talking fromme
LOL... it happens, dive into the grid and revel... I hope to talk to you soon. I will have to look, I think I have your e-mail, not sure....obviously have missed a great deal of big life adjustments from your end... sending hugs my dear {{{(((ruby)))}}
My e-mail addrss is in my profile
You are very kind, Kate!
sooooo sleeeepy. drugs are being nice. have to type with olne eye closed 'cos there's two keyboards. runy, your little cadeau from moi has passed through Paris , xxxxxxxx for you special friend.
lt arrived yesterday!! L sent you a tiny note, but will write as soon as l unwind a little
oh gee !! it didf !!! what did ya think
Houseguests, even when they help a lot, are very tiring, even when they are much-loved!
lhave to write at llength, but you are too generous, Rose, and you know me too well!!!! Lizards! You and Don are probably the only ones who kne that
knew*
but l need to write a proper letter, not monopolize the chog
have you taken your eye off the lizard?
l took my eye off himonce, and Rufie ran out the door with him. Now, having retrieved it, l keep him on my throne with me!
okay ruby. and i will slumber a hopefully read your email tomorrow
perfect, sweet dreams
rollollll that put's me in a lovely state to sleep. x0x0x0x bon soire ma cherie..
it took Rufe a NewYork minute to find a "tooth hold"
Ruby... I have to read all this chog... I just combed my e-mail looking for you, but niothing jumped out as "you:...
it's : nelliekelley50@yahoo.com and l'll fill you in
Sleep well grannyrose. may you have the sweetest drerams <3
I have written your email down ruby... awfully tired here and now the sun is fully up. I hope you have a nice quiet day planned - to recharge the battries. When do you have to start the next round of treatments?
l'll send you the gory détails when l write later
l avoided writing abut it in here because l didn't want to evoke "a pity party"
but, for the moment,l'm doing great!
Don't be in a hurry on my account ruby - I have been away a very long time from regular chog. There is much to catch up on...I am so happy the you are doing so GREAT - and that you have pulled through the horrid winter that never ended! PS, I didn't see yur e=mail in your profile, but do have it noted for later. Ihope you have a lovely day adn do absolutely nothing unless yu want to :)
My e-mail is in myu profile (that still ahs to be set up properly... lol...at this rate that'll never happen!
There once was a Babbler named ruby who rolled up a virtual doobie... ;)
She puffed it a lot, having always liked pot, but plays babble STILL like a newbie!
ROFL....that's much better than the original :)
<-- the limerick queen and only virtually Irlish
:D Without a doubt! (somewhat Irish here ;) )
What's in a name, But definitely an Irish heart!
The gift of the gab, sharp wit, ability to hold twice your weight in alcohol... and knows cool words. Who could ask for more in a woman?
and can fly-fish!
Oh my! You are indeed a woman of many talents! Ididn't know that one... do you actually tie your own flies as well... careful with your answer some man may swoon if it is in the affirmative... :D
when l caught "my" 23" rainbow trout, l used an already-made "fuzzy bunny" fly, while husband and guide were both using smaller more realistic-looking flies and were boçth fishing up'tiver fromme. lt's one of the hight points of my whole life!!
sorry for typos
Typos not an issue. Signed, The Typo Queen :) That mist have made your yearruby... yu showed them thar men types how a real woman does it... and I won't tell scrabs that yu were using fuzzy bunnies as bait... ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Belated congratulations are in order, but 23 skeedoo just doesn't seem to fit the bill. :/
The other high point was watching a meteor shower from the cockpit of a 747 (obviously before 9/11, when you could get a lot of milage out of being "cute")
mileage*
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wowzers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know what you mean about the cockpit. I went up on every flight I was ever on ( haven't flown since 9/11)
(l've just done what l dislike in others, monopolized the chog) vert bad MOI!!
very*
Bah1 No one is around any way... it's been very quiet for the last week - especially with all the small grids. Pretty sure if someone wanted a clue or to say hello, they would. They are all lurking and making us do the work <snort>... I am a terrible written convdersationalist. Perhaps we put them all to sleep? ;)
Kate, l just tried 3 times to send you a quick note, but l couldn-t get your address into the box without losing it
you are a great conversatiionalist but you'll have to write first!
hmmm computer gremlins.... I will go fire up yahoo and send y ou a quick e-mail, so you have it for your contacts...it'll take a couple minutes.
np!
Hi all
Hello Liz
Hi Ruby - how are you keeping?
Has spring come yet?
l owe you a letter, but l've had houseguests and it will have to wait a little longer
No problem. We also had house guests - with us for just over 2 weeks. We were pretty exhausted after they left.
As a friend said, it's lovely having guests but it's also lovely when they go :)
lt is lovely and HOT in the afternoons and l'm basking in it. l need all the warmth l can get after this dreadful winter.
I bet your garden is beginning to look lovely with spring flowers. Here the colder weather is just beginning. We've actually put our duvet back on the bed for the first time today.
Exactly! They're English and have been here twice before. l did much more outdoors (a little gardening, walking, etc;, & l'm totally spent!)
So now you can relax in the afternoon sun with the dogs.
The garden gets prettier every day -- many tulips, allysum, several floweribg shrubs l don't recognize and all the trees are either leafing up on=r in full flower: cherry, faux peach, quince, two plum, hazelnut, tulipier
I think spring is probably my favourite season - both here and when I lived in the UK.
The garden and dogs bring me much joy
Quick e-mail sent ruby, I will leave you and Liz (hi Liz) to catch up. 0800 here and I must try to sleep soon.
Sleep well Kate
ty Liz... i will lurk a bit, but ewell past the time when I should try to type...
l'm ready to take a nao and it's only 2PM
perfect time!
Enjoy having a nap Ruby. Nothing wrong with afternoon naps.

I am missing that whole group peri, sorry. apparently there are a whole bunch of MA words that are associated as well...
bye ruby, nap well.

The se 7 extends the se 5 and the 8, 11 and 9 are another group
found the se8/9 but not the se11
Describes a person who studies the se 8 / 9

Back to finish tomorrow. Good luck everyone.
Bye Liz :)

I think the chat has gotten a little confusing. The 8, 9 and 11 have to do with language
nor sure there is an se 5 for language bichon. I ahve an DE 5/12 that means earthquake a se***ologist studies them..
May I have a clue for those, pls
ty

hi people
hello cos
How are things Cos? I sent you an email when I read your posts in chat last night. Hope I used the right address.
I havent even looked at email..... I was hoping ud read the chat actually
i dont even know what email i have anymore i ony use work email lol
Well, you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Ryan. That is really all the email said. I was thinking about your upcoming birthday, but this is not a time you feel like celebrating, I'm sure.
he was admited 3 years ago to the same day...
his mom and i are furious at his doctor from 3 years ago... 6 momths after that he todl ryan he could have some driks ocassionally
why the hell would u tell an alcohlic that
Many medical doctors have no clue about alcoholism
yesterday was the first day in 14 years we did not talk
And HELLO, alcoholics do not "have some drinks occasionally".
my dogs keep looking for him
I hope you are getting support from close friends or able to go to a support meeting or someone
Oh, that is the other thing I said in my email Cos. Ask for what you need, and lean on the people you love. It is important when things like this are going on. Internet support can only get you so far.
Cos...I'm not sure what is going on other than from what I see in the chat. But I agree with Molly 110%...I have gotten so much out of support gropus...and I was skeptical going in.
HOWEVER, you might have to try more than 1 group to find a good fit.
hi all.
cos - sending positive thoughts your way

that's good:)
wris t
good mornin g flosi e
fw.
sorry, right thumb keeps dropping down !!!! and hitting space bar at will!!!
but not at MY will
hi Ru, tks for taking it my naughty thumb with a bit of humour
wtg Mixi
Naughty thumbs can be a problem : P
lol, another babbler with sense of humour
in my case my thumbs are naughty.. but other things may be :D
A sense of humor is a good thing. Some people seem to be without one though. Pity.
I'm trying to work on my sense of humor
indeed Molly - without - might as well be dead
My problem is that I am the only one that thinks I am funny
but don't let that deter you Marc
I think I have the same problem marc
then ditto to you ru -
My kids and wife may argue with that sentiment. I continue on though.
Amusing yourself is okay. If other people don't get it. at least you gave yourself a chuckle or two. The overly dramatic and humorless can go find their own places to thrive.
my whole life now is about amusing myself :D
I would rather do that than spend my life with someone dry, humorless and needy. At least you are happy. : )
amen to that
ce5?
like the stars mlf
ty ruru
I have frequently miswired things.
Then things go BOOM
yes. and then I call the electrician.

Got the se 8 and 9. Stumped on the 11....
One who does that
wirs
hu all --- not finding the se 11 either -- tried ise and ism with no luck

haven't seen the noble cats for a while :-)
noble cats?
ar 6/18
ah....yes...
Isn't one who ending ist? Like artist, or typist?
um...yes....
150 down - break time
I was just wondering why the clue didn't work
it did....she just couldn't see it in the grid....typed it anyway....at least i think she did....
do all the big se words have to do with earthquakes?
it did molly -- before pen's clue I had tried the ise and ism endings
the se 8, 11 and 9 have to do with words
thank you
that is correct, pen
ha! got em!
Sorry, I was confused by "still don't see it but got it"
wouldn't there being no mis wi4 come as a shock to those who have done it?
yup...
can someone please clue the la 6/33?

have that...
p + frozen H2O
looking for the later pi4,6 and pi5,14
what's a shoty?
there is a pi4,6 which would be a tangy flavoring mising the first letter.
She meant short.
pi4/6 - type of cotton, very soft
a typo for short, sorry I will go away now :(
It is a type of cotton and plural.
what a dope!! thank you!!

Bah1 list right away and go yo it... I will lob clues as required. you can do it! There are only a couple "stinkers" in here
stinker words, that is...
Well, I'm at 56 words now; think that's early enough to list? (I usually don't until I get at least 1/2 way). Then again, *I'm* the one who set that rule.
U try for halfway too... many wait much longer ;)
I'd list - that will ensure finishing.
I should try it once that way, huh? Okay; I will. :-) (thanks for the encouragement!) Many times I play games with how I fill in the grid: black out all of the edge pieces first, etc. but this isn't one of those days.
rur and Molly were around not long ago, sure they will hwlp with clueing
That's okay. I'm sure with using the list I'll at least have a "respectable" score....
nah... this is a list and run through it quickly... see what that nets, then you can go back and pick up anything that didn't immediately jump out at you.
I have no doubt you will finish. Go to it1
Thanks, Kate! :-)
:-) No chat, head down and type. BBS, just finishing stuff inn kitchen.
happen to be passing by - will clue for cash :-)
kidding of course...
Thanks for the offer, NatashaW ;-)
:D
Are you hanging around then Natasha? I am in and out for the next 10-15 mins.
I can... I'm trashing old emails and have this window open on the side
so feel free to poof
Seriously, Kate; don't worry about my finishing or not. I've had to learn this is a game; it doesn't bother me if I won't finish
OK, but we'll see.... ;)
here to help :-)
hello .
Hi Cos; How are you? (((cos)))
numb i guess
how's Ryan?
ryans mom texted me just now.. she said she consideres me a son
well.... ehs better than yesterday.. he ate drank a lot of water, pooped a lot, peed on ihs own so catherer is not needed
and they moved him from renal unit to rehab unit
After this many years, I would too
hes still sleeping a lot.. but hes a little better than yesterday
Oh, Great news, cos!
my brother is flying in tomrorow from chicago.. .i didnt even ask.. he just bught tickets and told me
and my boss is donating all of his sick leave to me so i can get paid and not be at work
Good! You need family at a time like this!
WOW! That's a blessing!
my boss is even picking me up tomrrow to tak eme to HR and get FMLA approved
im like wow.. just no words
That is really wonderful. (I've never heard of that ever happening before!)
i know. im speechless.. just wow..
i never felt secure at work.. but now i do
You do work for a good place; & your boss sounds like an angel.
3 bosses are donating theur sick leaves actually
i dont deserve that lol
I call BS! cos... you do deserve
i told my immediate boss if u like me so much why dont ya promote me lol
hes like.. well just wait
but ........
I agree! You are a very valuable member of your work community for your bosses to do that.
idk.. i have a house mortage free.. i have 5 pets.... idk if i can do it aloen
red dog is already agitated for not seing ryan.. shes his dog
LOL! (Maybe you shouldn't push it yet? ;-)
If he's moving to rehab; check & see if they allow pets. (I know that when I worked ICU for so many years, there were times we'd allow pets in for certain patients; but they'd have to prove that shots were up to date, & that they were freshly bathed)
Meaning the pets, not the patients.
nurse texted
?? just now?
ryan woke up saying he felt ok..then saw no one wa dthere then he said f+(k them lol typical ryan
nurses is amazing thet text me with info
I don't know if I've told you before; but I have a brother (1 of 3) who's an alcoholic; he went through DT's twice & nearly died. He's now been sober for 5 years. He lives alone & moved 200 miles from where he used to work (& where he finally got straight) last year & is still doing good. (His liver is shot; but he's hanging in there -- just turned 66 too!0
Most nurses are nice (says the old retired one! ;-)
wow... thats impressive
can red dog visit hospital, as Nef huggested?
ryan was doing fine until his 6 month check up after first hospital visit... the dr said he could have a few drinks a week....
what the holy hell? that is what made him start drinking again. how thehell do u tell an alcoholic that?
i hope so kate! i hope so
ill ask!
DAMN DOCTOR!! What is WRONG with that Jerk???
many hospitals do allow now... and what Nef said idiot doc.
video chat dog <3
his mom and i were talkinh abt it today we were both furious
oh hes still goinh thru wds so no video chats yet.. but he is off breathung tubes
and his oxygen is good
Maybe you need to give that doctor holy hell (I wonder if he could be reported to the licensing board for that?)
his mom said not to do it.. too vengeful
YAY!! I Like good oxygen levels! :-D
prognosis is soinding better all the time cos... lots of Babblers were saying extra prayers for you both. You sound a bit better too...
ma 7/48 any hints?
ma 7/48 nale + sage/smart
Male....
yesteday i cldnt be at hospital.. anxiety attacks.. but today i forced myself to go.. took 30 mgs of paxil tho... but going seemed to help.. i had to feed him tho but.. it felt good to help him
he ate a whole fruit salad then bitched his mom out for gettinh him turkey.. he hates turkey lol but his mom ordered it before i got there to tell her
then just a hour ago he ate cottage cheese and more fruit salad and demanded his phone be charged up
LOL! He sounds like he is recovering, cos! I'd be more worried if he didn't bitch out his mom!
is the paxil an ongoing thing? doesn't do much as a one time thing. needs to build up in yout system... good for Ryan about the turkey - that's a very good sign :D
right. but u know im cautious
plenty of false hopes in my life
ty
ma 6/24?
and plenty of real hope too cos - don't forget what you do have.
nm
im just so tired
m + an 5/12 (which is a silly action)
cos, my brother stayed here for a whole summer for the "90 meetings in 90 days" program; I drove him to his meetings and went to the ALANON meetings myself. (that was after the first time he went through DTs). The whole "One day at a time" is very true
ma 8/45?
its hard.. none in town are interpreted and most wont hire one due to confidentiality reasons
don't plan too far ahead for the future; take care of today.
bugs . . . praying ma******
nm
thanks une
yw :-)
ma 8/45 Greek-y pl of the ma 6/21 before it - iimsect praying ma****
yeah thats my problem
i think 6 months ahead and i assume things
*catasrophizing cos.... not good for you
Ahh, yes, I forgot about that. Sorry. But the book helps. Both the AA book, and the ALANON book (I still use my daily Alanon book for daily meditations when I'm over-stressed)
can u message me the titles
Yes; I'll do that, cos.
thank you :)
no problem. :-)
(BTW, I still want to kick you in the shin for not letting me know when you were in town way back when.... ;-)
(& I'm teasing you now; I hope that brought a smile to your face.)
I'd kick him in the ar4/4, but hey.... ;)
i feel awful about it still reallt
every time i see you post on fb i feel so guilty lol
LOL guilt works too - as long as you get together at some point ;)
omg i owe her a big big dinner
definitely not mcds
:D NOW you're talkin'!
cos, back then I didn't know we'd have some trouble chatting; I was ready to give you a tour in the dark here! (I think about that & *I* feel guilty myself!)
lol i shld of told u! my fault
I justthink it's pretty darn funny now; don't feel bad; just imagine me driving you around the Cities & telling you about all the history & such here --- in the DARK!. Just the thought makes me both embarrassed & laugh!
lol that would have beeen awkwrd funny
And then you tried to sleep in the airport near a bunch of teenagers or young adults!
(If you think that that would have been funny; you should have seen me trying to communicate with non-English speaking patients when I was working as a nurse! (especially little old Russians who didn't have a clue about what I was trying to pantomime!
Geez, Kate! I'm not going to get to half way tonight; -- almost there; but I broke the rule about no chat! ;-)
(picturing Nef driving cos around the city in the dark trying to "talk" to him in pitch black)...
There are aklways exceptions Nef. This was more important than any stupid grid.
