night sam
nite Sam (just back from laundry again.
found that at 6/7/8 and the at6/8/7; that was fun!
canst
hello people
hi cos. How's it going?
ugh. .
(((cos)))
are you eating &sleeping & taking care of yourself?
not really no idk how
How's Ryan?
hours/days left
cos, I'm doinglaundry & I need to go take clothes out of the dryer & hang them up. I will be back in 10 minutes.
no longer able to talk or eat
ok i will be here
cos, you and Ryan are in my thoughts and prayers.
Okay, back again. (I hate ironing, so if I canhang stuff as soon as they're dry, that helps).
ironing sucks
Are you still able to moisten his mouth with those mouth sponges?
yeah .
LOL! It really does; but I was also complaining about laundry & cooking too! Those are jobs that never end!
and are you talking to him about your time together; and does that seem to comfort him?
i used to iron clothes when my kis were small. my mother in kaw bought my 2 girls lovely dresses. one weekend after putting in a 50m hour work week - i decided to do the ironing .. there were 26 beautiful frilly dresses plus all the other stuff for wakter and myself... clled gramma gerry and said next batch of stufff for the girls had damned well better be wash and wear because i woul never do this again... i threw my iron away two weeks later because gramma woukld pick up their laundry ad do it... that was 55 years ago... heh heh
I made the mistake of buying several tops this past year that are 100% cotton; it's bad enough that even if I rush downstairs & pull them out of the dryer on time; they still need touch ups with the iron.
you were so lucky to have someone who liked to iron! I don't mind ironing when I have the time; but with son & grandson living here & DH's having so many doctor & dentist appts.; I feel like I never have time for that.
cos, are you still here?
off to bed.... blessings on all of you............ peace
hi im here
Okay; It's 1:30 AM here; how can I help?
Does Ryan respond to your being there with him?
good morning all
(((cos))) I need to get to bed; I hope you are asleep now yourself. Please know many people care about you & Ryan. I'm sending healing thoughts & prayers to you & Ryan and wishing you both peace.
Hi there, sprite. Sleep well, Nef. Blessings.
Hi sprite; I haven't seen you for so long; but I need to get to bed (my hubby has a dental appt. at 8AM) & it's now 2 AM
hiya peach and Nef
thanks, peach. And Good Night.
sleep well, Nef
Hugs again Sprite and hi all
*hugs Liz* Hello dear friend! How is your day going?
Been good thanks - usual sort of stuff. How’ve you been?
some stressful stuff going on, but minor on the grand scale of things. How about you and your beloved?
All’s really good here. We’ve been busy. Friends came for over 2 weeks, which was lovely but tiring. We went up to the Reef for 5 days, which was great. Now we’re just back in our usual routine. Sorry about your stressful stuff. Hope it’s sorted soon.
things will work out in the end, I have faith. Great you had a good time with your friends... and how lovely to look back at the good memories and enjoy your normal routine again :)
:) Didn’t think it was appropriate to chat this morning. Hope you didn’t think I was rude. There was too much other stuff going on.
no of course not, I felt the same way. Between cos's pain and the silly troll, it was not the place nor the time to catch up.
I don’t chat much these days anyway.
too busy with life? Or just not meeting up with the right babblers?
The first - don’t really want to spend so much time on the computer. It’s too easy to do that!
very true.
Not here much longer. We’re going out tonight.
lovely! Where are you going? Something fun I hope?
bbl Blessings on all of you.
bye peach *hug*
Just a BBQ - a community thing, so probably won’t stay too late.
Hi Peach.
could be very pleasant.
Bit cold for us soft Qld’ers.
lol!
We actually put on hoodies and tracky
Tracky pants last night.
why not? Take good care of yourself and try to stay comfortable. I was cold tonight and put an extra duvet on the bed!
That’ll come for us before too long!
Time for me to go! Hope the stress lessens very soon. Hugs.
{{sprite}} {{liz}} lovely to see both of you. xoxox
ohhh, byeee liz
sorry, back now. Nature called rather urgently
*hugs rose* Hello honey, how is your day?
okay i guess. have achieved the goals i set for today, so i am happy.
did you manage to fall back asleep?
hmmm you do not 'sound' happy
tomorrow i start the maintenance cardiac program. the physio in charge gaily told me i had to start the session by doing " the salt bush".
the salt bush??
also, i am in need of some psychological help. i am an emotional yoyo at the moment
tina turner... salt bush city limits dance.
no wonder, sweetie. It has been rather much. And then the new stuff to boot... good for an emotional rollercoaster, with all the pain it brings up.
have been referred, but have to wait until the 28th May, before the clinic can fit me in.
ugh. Long wait. I am here for you, you know that, right? Please vent to me.
don has been wonderful. except last sunday, he decided to have a tantrum at church.i was so furious that, with rests every so often, i walked myself home.
needless to say i have been paying for it ever since.... loll isn't it incredible what one can do when in a rage??
omd, that is horrid. He is definitely childish in his tantrum-y bouts :( So sorry, sweetie. You do not need that.
oh yes. Mines up unexpected reserves. But the price is high.
don't you drive, honey? You should have made him walk home, and taken the car by yourself :)
*sigh* i handed in my license when i found i couldn't sustain an emergency braking. the pain was/is horrific.
hm, I understand, wise decision. But painful. (((((rose))))) okay, promise me this, honey... don't ever do this again. Call a cab. It is what they are there for.
not going to happen again !!
did he promise?
nah.... next time i will just sulk outside. the vicar was very concerned.
never sulk, lollll. Call that cab. Stay in power and make the man eat humblepie.
you know I love him, right? But uggggh I do not appreciate his childish tantrums.
apparently they had search parties out looking for me. but vicar did say something quite interesting.
oh?
she said... rose, you are always giving, and you are now empty. time to refill yourself.
amen, rinse and repeat. I like that lady. You listen to her, ya hear? Since you won't take it from me, lol.
sooooo, don and i are definitely taking some time off. prolly late July, after the next infusion.
awesome. Time to juice up those batteries.
so, tell me. how are the house repairs going? bless Rob for getting on with them.
oh, btw, called again this morning and was lucky to find a very understand man... he is trying to get the limitations lifted today. If his superior will work with him.
ahhhh, mayhap something to do with my email to them also?
toilet downstairs is starting to look good. Will be happy as a clam when we can go potty downstairs again, lol. Rob is off to canoe club today, he needs a bit of downtime.
ohhhh you did? That is awesome. Might well be, though he did not say.
and you sweetie? when is your down time ?
I have been a client since 2002! He said it was shameful they were giving me such a hard time. Very nice!
well, let me see... I have the down part down, so to speak, lol. Now about that time...
bb soon. himself is home with the shopping.
'sokay honey. I might be gone by then, am almost done. *hugsssss* and lots of love.
{{hugsssss}} and {{kisses}}
fireflies. Bye all. *hugs rose and cos*

Bonjour. lt's cold again and l've already planted my little tomatoes on the deck!
Bichon, are you here?
Yup, how are you this beautiful spring day?
lt's grey and cold here, butl'mfeeling good. How are you ndMr. Bich?
We're still coughing, but I'm hopeful
Coughing would be the end of me!
My blood pressure med makes me cough, but this is the result of my running sinuses
Everything is covered with bright green pollen
Ugh, that doesn't hit us til a month from now
This is the most in the 20 years l've been here
lent
sorry
clues for the ca8/9?
l've only just started, mark
Today is the 50th anniversary of the premiere of Hair on Broadway!
And the age of Aquarius is upon us!
L saw Hair in Paris in '68 (l think)
or maybe later; my memory is full of holes
Hi all. I've been here lurking, Hannah is usually here at this time, do you know what happened?
to her?
Why are you looking for Hannah and wo are you?
who*
I'm not looking for her, just a concerned person, and I was just wondering what happened, I heard something happened last night.
Join so we know who you are
I am a joined player.
Let me add a photo.
ni profile!
Where's Molly when you need her? Even I see this one!
It's pretty obvious! Hi all
IThank you Champ! Am i the only one concerned?
Hello Liz
Yes. We're just DONE. Good morning all!
Don't be concerned Ruby. Nothing to be concerned about. Is your email working again?
It uploaded.
l finally got my e-mail back & l owe you a letter, liz
Stats for the 9 please?
Don't have it yet, champ
OK Ruby - don't worry about that. I'm going to email you now. Night all.
I'm sorry, I lied. I am Hannah. I know what went down last night. I lied because I said that I would never be here again.
Night!
Because everyone hates me here. I made everyone mad last night.
I was just wondering if you guys knew.
Hannah, you must protect yourself!! There are creeps around and you are too vulnerable. Does your mother know you'replaying with adults?
yes
l didn't see last night's events
Ruby...check your email for a note from Lizlin please.
cos had told me to go to, well you know, i wont curse, online or offline
l can't get into mymail AGAIN and my friend was just here
This is getting ridiculous
Hi Molly. l'm hamstrung with no mail!
To the rescue!
ruby idk if you have seen this already or not, but I know how to protect myself, I have made t
oops not finished
i have made the mistake of trusting someone too quick, and them not really being nice, i was naive, but i know better now, i am not quick to trust people, i am friendly with everyone but they have to earn my trust, i am not that naive anymore
l still don't think you belong in here
okay i have gotten out what i wanted to say
but i think i do
this place is fun
for all people
email sent, Ruby
l can't get in, again. Maybe on the other laptop
if i leave this place forever like i said i would do yesterday, i couldn't stay away forever, i was planning on staying away forever but i couldn't do it
clue for the ca8/9 cows & what the Stones early album was called - Get your ** **'s out

lent
im not and i am Hannah
Thanks, Lyn. I'd never've got that word. I'll be back tomorrow to finish.
here let me log back into my other account
yw - I'm off too
It must be hard to keep up with all the different identities you have set up.
Sleep well
thanks lynxx!
im back
Everyone else have a good day.
hi and byelynxx
You too Liz
and ruby pls don't ignore me when im here
People here tend to ignore those who are constantly seeking attention.
this place is a circus! Thismorning: 3 nurses, the kino Jérôme, Michele and then Nadia with arms full of flowers!
i am not constantly seeking attention
Exactly, Molly
For you, ruby? How sweet!
A visitor with arms full of flowers is a good thing to have.
someone i managed to get some people to hate me here too.... bye... ;( *POOF*
And everybody knows that for the living room, because it's small and a bit fussy, only white flowers work
<-- also small and fussy
Goodbye all, look at my profile for my goodbye note, Goodbye Babble
Whoosh, all the air got sucked out of the room!
yep
c'mon, Champ, how about a little drama?
Crud...I got nothin'!
l just saw your tenrec -- cute?
it's so hard for young people understand what is appropriate behavior in certain situations, growing up is hard for them, I wouldn't want to have to go through it again
I found it amazing that in all of the things in that museum, I found that thing!
Hi, mubner, my friend got into my mail thismorning and 5minutes after she leftt, nada!
I promised myself I wouldn’t input but Mubner’s comment pushed me to, in case you didn’t see it before I am Hannah, I am not that young, I am almost 15
Do tthey make good pets? l'm sure my monster dogs would loveone -- tobits!!
Yesterday, my big Rufie found animal scat (?? fox?) in the garden and rolled in it. Fortunately a strong friend was here because we had to shampoo him and he's more than 75 lbs
Ugh! Nothing worse than a big dog that's rolled in something smelly. So hard to get rid of the smell sometimes!
That was plenty of dramaforme, not in need of teenage ngst!
And he was proud of himself!
He's a great dog, but not the smartest, just the nicest
Of course! My last dog died a month or so ago, and I miss her so much...but not the mess and not picking up dead things she's killed.
((champ)) l know how sad that is which is why i have two dogs at a time
That sounds callous, but l couldn't live here alone without dogs
I did, but the other one passed a year ago. It's time for us to be dog-less for a while. This last round was 18 years straight.
What kind of dog was she?
Both were rescues. She had a lot of lab in her. But we're finally going to be empty nesters in the fall, so it's time for some FREEDOM!
With my husband gone, this house would be scary without protective dogs
I totally understand. That's something I definitely miss. Both of my dogs had loud, scary barks. Now I'm surprised when someone comes to the door...no warning system anymore! So weird.
Exactly! And they know if it's friend or stranger
Well, mine weren't that smart...they made noise regardless! But of course wouldn't hurt a fly. Still...they could scare off a salesperson!
I used to open the door a crack and look helpless while they barked their fool heads off...then shrug and close it again. Ha!
One of the nurses today was new ans asked that the dogs be confined. l think she needs to get a different job since she has to make home visits to old people (like me) who can't always lock up their doigs
And most people in this village have dogs
There are people who are deathly afraid of dogs. You're right...she's going to have issues. Lots of people have them.
Back from rfenewing my drfivers license
That was fast!
Look at Champ's tenrec!
Anyone looking at my dog wouldn't be afraid. He looks like a snow puff
Bet he's very cute!
very, and mellow
lneed big dogs here and although they may look scary, l think they'd only bite someone who tried to hurt me.
I'm sure they would, ruby. Dogs know, and they'd want to protect you.
When one of the nurses gives memy daily shot, Rufie sits on my food but doesn't say anything
Not mine. He'd be cowering in the corner

There is a locked door to the street, so it would take an intrepid burglar to walk onto the property

Not to complain, but there is no L in my name. It comes from the way my three year old daughter read a book, "Once there was a hunter." She pronounced it "Unike." So I made up stories about Unike the Hunter.
No, it's a long way to go. Prefer Europe
Nope, Indonesian
Never been to Indonesia
My preference as well... if I had endless life I might go but with limited years and $$ I always end up in Italy or UK.

ok, ty
kept trying that but never hot the right 2... got it now

hy6?
cos I want to say I’m sorry to you, when I said last night I know how it feels to lose someone close to me I didn’t mean the cat, I meant a person, it wasn’t a husband, I never had one, but the person I am talking about I felt I could confide in him, I loved him, I am talking about my grandpa btw, I was really close to him, I miss him still to this day I’m sorry that I offended you, I’m sorry I made things worse, I tried to comfort and I failed, I’m sorry for that
This is the last thing I am going to say on Babble except to ask for a hint, its on my profile: Somehow I managed to get everyone on Babble to hate me. I guess because it seems like I am always trying to get attention. I'm sorry I failed to comfort cos. I'm sorry I failed just to make conversation without seeming like I want attention. I'm sorry I failed all of you. Don’t worry I won’t say anything in the chat unless I need a hint.
When someone is in an acute stage of grief and loss, it is usually best to focus on them and their experience, and offer loving support, and save sharing one's own experiences of loss for another time. If I am at the deathbed of a loved one, I am probably not in a good place to hear about your past sorrows. You are very young and I can only speak for myself here in saying I for one don't "hate" you, just think you need to maybe take a bit more of a back seat in chatting and let yourself be guided by the tone of the conversation as it takes place. Best of luck to you.
we all have had some type of loss
I don't HATE anyone either, but.....how LONG is this repartee going to go on?
hi aeb
hannah - I did not see any of your conversation with cos - you are very young to take this much on board - suggest you just relax and be yourself and most of all enjoy the game for what it is XXX
Hannah move on...
Hi MLFAN
lets just work on the grid and have good conversations i
hears
hy6?
sorry
if I had it, I'd hint it
ty natasha
MLFAN I have moved on, its just that every time I chat I seem to make everyone mad, so I will just ask for hints in the chat
I don't think anyone is mad that I know of and some have said they are not mad. I am not mad
at you
hy6 - hy + reverse "not on time"
No one's mad, we just want to enjoy the game without the drama. Please just let it go and play the game, thanks.
ty dalia
thx dalia!
yw. couldn't figure out how else to clue it!
you did brilliantly
I am only saying this so no one thinks I haven’t moved on, I have
good clue dalia took my brain a bit longer to switch letters around lol

I did the same, then realized it was from the second oc6,21

:-)
That movie is still utterly magical. I love it.
MA + word for a long handle with flat blade to get weeds out.
Not seen it in many years.
sorry zoom - have that -- I asked for the wrong one -- need the 2nd ma 5/14

Not sure then, /nan I have a boggy ground.

Yeah I think Iclued it at 3:57pm Nan :-)
Congrats!
so you did zoom --- I quit reading a long blade and was looking for a machete! sorry!
No problems at all.
*at
hubby ready to go out - enjoy the rest of your day
You too!
You finished, Zooz?
Nope got 7 more to get.
You?
Only 129 left to find.....
I'll be seeing no fireworks tonight!
As long as you enjoyed finding the words, Soodle!
Perhaps a quick trip to the pub in a short skirt? : D
Ha!! The only fireworks would be if my leg-hairs went on fire!!! Its been a long winter with no reason to de-fuzz... (Apologies for any gross mental images inflicted).
Supposed to be warming up in the next few days!
Just in time for the bank holiday, too. Hooray!!
When we had those few days of hot weather I decided to turn of my heating (Economy 7 crap) And since then did not turn it back on. It was 11c in my house the other day LOL Me being stupid still refused to turn it back on.
And the following weekend, I'll be in Swindon, Zooz.
Hope you have a good time there, Soodle. I have been there a couple of times but that was many years a go and thought it rather grey and dull.
Oh, I know. I have the fire lit. I was perished with the cold.
I have been wearing my coat & hat with a tea towel around my neck and a hot water bottle LOL
Sounds lovely. Here it's 32C... more like July than May.
I would much prefer your temps, NatashaW!
Tea towel around your neck???? Tea towel??? Do you dry your pots with a scarf? Lol lol
Have no scarf. So an old tea towel not used for drying up with anymore has to do :-)
Age is just a terrible thing. Fuzzy legs and fully dressed for bed. : D
Note to self...... If I ever meet Zooz in person, present him with a Dr Who scarf!!
I have rather hairy legs but do not wear any clothes in bed. Hope that was not too much information.
Aww thanks, Soodle!
Oh Zooz, I thought you were wearing all that stuff to bed.
No no just whilst usong the computer or watching TV etc :-)
Using*
Funny you should say Fully Dressed, Molly. Without going down the TMI road - I lost one element of my PJ's. I'm now in bed, fuzzy-legged & half pyjama'ed.
LOL
ஜ۩۞۩ஜ F.I.R.E.W.O.R.K.S ஜ۩۞۩ஜ
Time for me to retire for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!
(((Cosdem)))) Thinking of you and your husband at this moment in time.
I hope Cos can lean on some of the good wishes sent to him from here. And I hope he has real life people to lean on too. He is going through the hardest thing there is.
Zooz goes commando in bed. Pass it on
<--- adds to rumor list
*All the Babble females who have a crush on Zoom get steamy*
That’s from the hot water bottles though
And maybe the hairy legs
Well then, the Babble males who have a crush on Soodle can get steamy about hairy legs too : D
*no comment*
teats
sorry
Well THAT took a turn!
8o0...
Well please God, no one will start talking about having hair in their "upper regions"
Instigator! :)
I have hair on my most upper region-- head :-D
Well yeah, I was trying to be delicate with the term "upper regions". Maybe we should shift gears to the weather. I'm sure we are about to be bombarded with another "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" thing.
You're conjuring it up! GAHHHHH!
Weather report: It has gone from too cold to too hot in the blink of an eye. Short Spring. Rats.
Not eating any worms here in Boston-- temps in the '80s-- suddenly summer-- want spring back, though...
I agree w/ you, Molly...
no nose hair here...
sain
oops, sorry
help with either th7 pls
do you have th 5/18?
I do now an found the 2 th7 too

I made it halfway, but there are tornado warnings all around me, so I will probably be without power soon.
Looks like OK is getting hit hard right now, mom. I hope it's ok.
Hope things stay safe for you, MagMom
or that you get to oz
*Hands MagMom the ruby slippers*
hopes she doesn't have a dog named TOTO
Or an Auntie Em
found a large mythical mammal
the sn's are a little rude
stay
getting to oz is a GOOD thing. eventually dorothy gets to live there full time and aunt em and uncle henry get to come too. they no longer have to work hard, they can relax in their old age and enjoy the magical land of oz
No Toto here. We have a cellar if it gets rough. I'm a truly jaded Okie though, I won't go to the cellar unless I can see that thing in the distance.
*Cues up Jackson Browne's "Stay"...covering for Ru
name that proper noun! please don't squeeze it
Charmin
charmin
ding ding ding!
I'm too wiped to find proper nouns
probably because of what toil it is to find words
urine it for now ru
did somebody here order a pu pu platter?
what does the 9 start with?
Good morning all
gosh ori.. I'm feeling flushed now
ca 9, Hurshy
i'm missing a w 6.. I can't find it.. any help
only have the season myself
Also missing it, Ru
like Eli of sewing machine fame....without a letter
I'm bowled over
The "My hiney's so Charmin shiny" ad is a new low
when are we going to realize that bidets are a far better solution, anyway?
so I googled Eli and came up with Howe
There are people of "sewing machine fame"? Who knew?
i think of the cotton gin more
Only sewing machine I know was a Singer - my mum's.
or like singer Houston who covered "I Will Always Love You"
Thanks, Hurshy. That did it for me. Also a town near Oxford.
all these sewing clues have me in stitches
Chat has turned from body hair to how clean your ass is.
oops...it was the cotton gin....not the sewing machine....that was Elias Howe, i think....
if i'm following the thread correctly that is
Less controversial than this time yesterday.
is the ca9 a compound word?
I'm in stitches now
that's mehesterday liz
🤣
that was just awful yesterday
Sort of a compound Hurshy. Lynxxx clued it as ending in the old Rolling Stones album, Get Your ********* Out. if you can fill that in, (random number of stars there) you've got it.
I'm more than sure that we have not heard the last of the "it's all about me" poster.
Or her multiple personalities
they'll be back.. with a new alias.. we should be ready for an orphaned lesbian or something like that
Having looked back in the chat when I woke up, there were several more appearances.
I think just ignoring her/them is the right tactic
Certainly not feeding :)
encourage her to go to my profile and figure out my email address. I'll take the heat.
I agree Harp. Especially since it/her/whatever seems to hate being ignored.
Hate seems to be her focal word.
not necessary harp.. we should ignore the trolls
Egads - I'm a pretty tolerant person, but the grandparent/cat comparisons were too much for me
thanks
yw
took googling and morewording combined but i got there
I'm still kind of laughing that there were people here who really believed that was some teenager who was into a game like this.
And seemed to complete the grids so quickly with no clues!
Yeah, that too Liz. The posers often have no clue.
I was onto he/she/it right from the start
Do people still have to pay to register on the site - for clues etc?
we've had actual tweens and teens play before
yes.. $15-16 bucks
it's not unheard of
my old pal bex
My friend's son played for a while - similar age but soon got fed up with it.
this was no teenager hurshy
i know, i'm just saying
Wow! So she / he paid at least 3 times - must have money to burn.
Now I feel laughed at :D I do believe she is a teenager. She certainly sounded and acted like one.
i visited bex in newcastle, her mom made spaghetti for tea and we played monopoly
That's a good point Liz
Some of what she said sounded like a teenager but definitely got it wrong at times.
Hence the reason for Dr. God
Hence the reason for Dr. God's absence.. he took those proceeds to Vegas
So actually the site must be maintained because surely if you pay, it breaks a contract if it stops.
I don't think a proper teenager looking for respect and attention would have been so keen to announce that the bus was there etc.
ori.. if you believe she was a teenager.. I have a Bridge to sell you near SF
Now you're preying on someone you know is a little naïve, ru :-)
it's the old JC/Nancy boy people after a hiatus
ori.. think of all the TOLL Money you will get i'll send you a bill
whatup peeps?
Oooh ... it's a deal, ru
Really - same ones? I've heard so much about them but they were before my time. It's just sad that some people are vey vulnerable - not meh of course!
Hi TO
I was totally believed NancyBoy was real
oh surely you jest. i need another jack and ginger
what color would you like me to paint the bridge ori.. before you buy it
But I wasn't around at the end.
It's nice to be trusting Ori as long as you have some scepticism too.
why are we on this subject?
Let's go with purple, ru
we had a new attempted poser TO
done.. very hippy
Welcome to the sadists' playground
that will be 1.7 million and you can visit me in BC
check is in the mail
sadists?
oh heck. and oh heack i need 92 and should wither have not had jack and ginger # 2 or had another so I would have forgotten to finish.
annual work lumcheon extended into happy hour.
Something I just read on TO's profile. That the internet has created a sadists' playground. I liked the wording and think it's funny to describe this chog that way.
Just read the profile :)
there are some really screwed up people on the internet... people that should find other things to do with their lives. People here are mostly nice and easy to get a long with
nice turn of phrase
That's true but there's a lot less chat than there used to be, which is a bit sad.
uh oh...now people are reading my profile o.O
This is actually an extraordinarily nice group of folks - a few bad apples, but those are everywhere
I think people are bored with the incessant clue whores in the chat.. but that's just me
I agree that most peopler here are nice and I've always told friends that this is a friendly site.
yes.. ori.. some very nice people. I have met a few of them in person.
clue whores :D
I've met one very nice bloke in person
Me too - also met some including those I'm almost related to ;)
HA
like, i hear there is a ca 9? is this true? Because i cannot get what it has to do with ya yas
throw in a group of cows to
but i will check the list
It is a flower apparently. Begins with cows.
it's a very weird word
Sorry if you weren't asking for a clue -that sort of slipped out.
does it grow on a bush or bovine?
But it's OK cos Ru clued it too.
OOOOOOHHH an orchid!!!!!!
thank you ! got it!
GREAT clue!
Just googled the images of it and I got loads of orchids. Beautiful but who knows whether those images were specifically the ca 9?
well.. you have to make hay when you can
too many flowers have names that sound more like diseases
Too cloudy today
phew finally got halfway
Can't think of any puns - i'm sure they've all been done anyway.
i learned recently about one called hepatica
