hi jane. Did you break an ankle? I just arrived a few minutes ago and got in on the conversation with Nef.
flip
Hi Bugs; yes she did
re 7 and 8
Hi all
Hi Liz
thanks Nef. I did too a couple of years ago and the swelling is still outrageous. I am looking at your sock site and loved the tips for massage.

If I'm on my feet lot; my left lower leg can end up twice the size of my right (especially the ankle area). I love my compression socks; my favorite brands are Jobst and Sockwell

Darn, Rainiqui! I can't find any 6 letter words & you come through every night & get all the large words right off the bat! 8-)
LOL
Me too Nef. The skin gets so tight it feels like it will split but I have not found the right strength of compression sock. The last one I tried I had to cut off and it took over half an hour to do because it was so tight I couldn't get scissors inbetween my skin and the sock. I am only now looking to do more than suffer.

hey all
do you still see that ortho doctor? Has that doctor seen your leg? I'd ask foirst about what strength of compression you should have (sounds like the ones you had were too firm). Or maybe see if a Physical Therapist could help advise you fo that.
(((bugs hugs)))
(I have 1 pair that is too tight; and 1 pair that aren't tight enough.... and they don't match.
Hi stid!
my eyes are not doing what I need them to do to get this chog read... :-( I will try to show up another time tomorrow (and hope my eyes are not so tired! *leaves choclits in PB* *Poof*
Ha! Rainique! I got my 1st 7 letter word; st7/28! :-D
Great going Nef !!!
Rainiqui! Sorry. studs eyes aren't working; & my fingers don't type well either.
Np Nef
Clues are up
Hi bugs, yes I broke my lower fibula on May 17. Just got the cast off after 7 weeks of non weight bearing
thank you lickety
Thanks, Lickety
thank you, locket!
I meant March 17. St. Patrick's Dayu
harp, tell her the ironic part -- when you broke it!
sorry to appear rude. I wandered off. I feel for you harpjane. the nonweight bearing rule was so hard for me because it meant I had to stay in the house most of the time. boring
en 8
were you Irish dancing, jane?
Thank you, lickety! (Geez! I can't even type right --or left tonight!)
lol I wish! No, it was a cross country ski accident and I had to ski about a mile after I broke it, in order to get back to the car.
My husband
OMG jane, that must have been painful! I am so sorry that happened but you could lie and say you were Riverdancing just for fun.
Ouch - Jane that sounds awful.
My husband's mother had some socks, jobst I think, custom made, measured exactly to her leg. They were made in Germany. They had to be zipped up.
At least the accident makes for a good story. Now that I have the cast off, I don't look like a brave heroine who perservered through tough times. I just look like an overweight old slow woman!
zippers sound like a good idea. My doctor was not much help in recommending anything in particular and I am not rich enough to buy all kinds of pairs. I am now trying to contact a massage therapist to help get the swelling sorted.
those were jobst hose all right, harp. But follow the directions on the site for how to measure your own legs; and then order according to that and they won't cost you an arm & leg either (the kind your mother in law had probably cost well over $ 100 - or even over $200; depending on when she bought them
Wow, jane - that's quite an experience! Must have been terribly painful and frightening. What a superwoman you are :D
It wasn't frightening because I knew I was going to make it out. You just rise to the occasion, I guess.
hi ori.
Hiya Nef!
and Jane, I was talking about the timing of when you broke your ankle; the day after you bought a skiing pass for next season. And of all the things you are; you aren't overweight & you don't look like a slow old woman! (We are "women of a certain age!")
I dislocated my foot and then broke both bones in the lower leg when I tried to limp to the car (impossible) so I was down for the count right from the start. I don't have a good story. Just the embarrassing , " I've fallen and I can't get up" scenario.
Have you just done that Bugs?
OUCH!
When I was a teenager I was thrown by my horse out in he hills. Broke my ankle. I was miles from home. But fortunately the A-hole let me catch him and I got home without having to walk.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friend in Florida.
That horse was bat-shit crazy. I should have known not to take him out alone.
Ori, is your avatar a painting you've done yourself?
Gosh, bugs. That's awful.
I met a woman at the gym who has a cast. She said she fell out of an airplane... A skydiving accident. She has torn ligaments and other problems in addition to the broken bone.
Yep, Nef.
It was over 3 years ago Liz but the swelling has never gone down. My ankle is huge. Turns out I was allergic to the metal pins and plate so I had to have it taken out after a year and that slowed the healing down
Wow. You poor thing. I actually remember now chatting to you not long after you did that. I didn't realise that it was still causing you problems. You poor thing.
ouch origami. That would have been so much worse if he ran off and you had to wait to be found
I like it ori! Very nice, and even has a calming effect I think
It was a little scary. I was miles out in the hills where nobody ever went.
I don't have pain any more, just uncontrolled swelling that restricts movement. I am fed up.
I can imagine.
CHo
How did you find out about the allergy, bug
thanks, nef :D
just an FYI for the compression hose discussion: I have been buying compression hose from BrightLife Direct for years. They carry all the "top name" brands, as well as produce quality items under their own brand (Allegra) which I like because I can order items in the "wide-calf" version (I have always had fat calves). Reading about all the broken ankles and broken legs you've all suffered makes me wince in pain ...
The surgeon figured it out when it was more swollen and more painful after 6 months than it was when I got the injury. It was great that he was willing to take out the hardware but it didn't help the soft tissue damage that happened with the dislocation.
I notice that we women of a certain age have bored the trolls to death tonight!
sorry to bum you out JudyHall but thanks for the info.
Bugs; you had the metal in for a year? I'm allergic to metals and the second surgeon didn't listen to me & he used surgical staples to close my incisions. He'd put a cast on my leg after using all the staples; I was in such pain that I was trying to cut the cast off the next morning! My hubby was so upset with me (& I was in too much pain to hear him) that he called my closest nurse friend to come over. When she got here; she did cut the cast all the layoff. The swelling was so bad that my toes & foot were black!
(I had to have the third surgery on that foot due to infection & to close the wounds from the mess he made)
Yikes, Nef.
Nef that is a HORRIBLE story. I had a plastic removeable cast that was way too tight but I would have done the same thing if I couldn't get it off . I immobilized it on the bed and only wore the cast when I had to move.
Ha, jane! Next time a troll shows up we should just start talking about health issues - maybe bowel problems in detail.
Charm, the Kentucky Derby is tomorrow.
My cast seemed too tight for the first week but then the swelling went down.
You were so lucky to have a friend you could help. Having the adjustable cast was a godsend
Let's do it, origami!
Judy, thanks for that website! My one friend has the toughest time ordering compression socks because she has such wide calves she has trouble finding them
love that idea origami.
Jane - maybe I colitis attack :D
you guys are hilarious! Whatever works, though....
Thanks for the info about the socks everyone. I must be off. I have a friend staying and she is a morning person so I am doomed. Waves to everyone.
Good night, Bugs. Haven't seen you in too long :D
Niters, Bugs! (I hope we didn't make anyone have nightmares)
I just re-read your horse story, ori. Thank goodness you were young and were able to catch that horse& get back to civilization!
I already have to list
Yes! I probably could have drug myself back to somewhere I could have been found. But it was scary. In some ways it's a miracle i made it to adulthood :D I was pretty wild.
this sounds like quite a story!
Sooner or later someone would have figured out that you were missing, right?
If nothing else the horse would have come home without you.
Maybe that's the beauty of youth; you're too young to know you're over your head until you have enough years under your belt torealize it?
true, Jane. I am sure I would have been searched for. I should have brought my dogs. But 14 year olds are stupid :D At least I was.
i took a big risk once in high school too... went out to breakfast on the way to a student council event...
Yep, Nef. Sometimes I really wish I had the same trust in the universe I did back then.
Ha hursh :D
we didn't have permission to make such a detour, you see. so we *gasp* lied and said we'd gotten lost.
i've always liked to live on the edge...
The Aunt that raised us was County Superintendant of schools when I was young; we all had to be extra special good so we weren't ever allowed to get in trouble.
That's funny, hursh.
:)
Hursh is such a rebel1
yeah i'm pretty much the most risk averse person you could ever meet... those who are more risk averse than me, you don't meet, cause they never leave the house
When my aunt was dying and I went up to be with her during her last days; oneof the things she said was that I was the one who never got in trouble! But it made me wonder why I got so many spankings when I was young then!
maybe she was Confused, lol
the risk averse shall inherit the earth :D I straightened out at about 18, but it was a rocky road.
hurshy: :-P
LOL!
Were you a female Eddie Haskell, Nef?
eddie haskell really irks me
words aren't coming to me tonight, so off to Iron Sudoku, which I find to be a good stress reliever. Good night, all !
He was pretty annoying, actually ;d
ori, we had our hands full with our son; it was like his brain didn't mature until he was 22. He wasn't a risk-taker; just did some really stupid things & never considered any consequences of his actions
they say the decision-making center in the brain doesn't finish until like 25
ori, I wasn'r an Eddie Haskell, I was a quiet bookworm as a young kid; "slower than molasses in January" but also very quiet.
Yeah, some don't adult until late. We are really adolescents until mid-twenties.
Good Night Judy!
Slow? Hopefully, not an insult. You're clearly smart.
I'm off to try to fix a painting I have really messed up while I still got an hour in me. See ya'll.
I babysat every Saturday night from the time I was 11 until I graduated from high school (for the same family that had 3 kids under 3 when I started & 7 kids total when I graduated from HS; so a new baby almost every year!)
Wow, that's a load of responsibility, Nef.
And I'm fading fast too. It's after 1 now; so I should head to bed too
well idk what to do with this bottom E, other than one random 6 that i got
tangle it up some, hersh!
ty, Kam for the en clue. Hurshy, stats for the E 6 you got, please?
YW. the en6/18 is the first
ensnarl
oops, sorry
ty, Kam
anyone have the me6 please? oh... bad rose... cooee and g'day from me
I do
Hello Rose. Sorry, no me6 yet
a group of followers
I always think of that word as part of the "catch a tiger by his toe" rhyme
Good one! I think of it as a weird spelling of a not nice person, but yours sticks in the brain better.
grrr, wretched word didn't take when i tried it... has now. thanx kam and molly
How are you feeling, Rose? I hope life is moving along comfortably for you.
it is thanx kam. so much so, i am going to grandson's football game tomorrow morning. should be just as i like it. lol... temperature below 10C, brisk coll breeze.
and you and DH, kam? still all good??
ahem... that would be ... cool...
Doing well, he was released by doc to drive! Yay! He's supposed to only push himself 80%, so he has had to be slowed down a few times. I'd have to go look up 10C, the US is stuck on F
50 F
We're heading into summer, you're heading into winter. Enjoy the game, and stay warm!
And, I'll bet it's what we call a soccer game, right?
i have also started the cardiac maintenance program. we are sort of autonomous, allowed to pick up the pace when we are ready.
sort of kam, yeah, kicking ball and hand passing only.
And you're doing well with your own pace, I trust?
i think so. will see what the physio says when i go in next thursday.
We had a nurse before hub's first surgery who was a soccer player from Romania, then he played basketball. His name is Atilla, but he was the best nurse ever! We got survey papers to fill out, and he gets special mention - eye candy when my hubby was getting all of his hair shaved off was helpful, hahaha!
lol... one of the regulars has been going to this program for nearly 11 years now. i think it's awesome that the hospital provides cardiac cases this type of support.
oh, ikr, about the eye candy. that desrcibes my cardiac doc to a T.
Yep, helps all of us heal, and hubs was comfortable with him, joking around, being silly, and the guy was so good at inserting IVs that I was amazed - that kind of skill is so necessary for pre-op nurses. The second go-round took two tries, but the gal was so apologetic about not getting it the first time.
Okay first run through and I have exaclty 70 words left for later. Happy babbling everyone!
. Would somebody please tell a joke; l need cheering up
Why do French People eat snails? Because they don't like fast food!
What did the bra say to the hat? You go on a head, I'll give these two a lift. (Bah-dum-ching)
Awesome...love that, Molly!

Thank you - I was taught no i before e
Yes except after c:)
It is a variant spelling of the tiger by the toe rhyme. Not all clues are for the exact spelling. They are hints to point you in the right direction.
Another good thing to remember is that not all words in these grids are English. The i before e except after c thing applies to the English language.

LOL penquis
Never been a huge fan of licorice and its relatives
Amen
me either....
ick . . . same here
So I take it we're not all going to get together over a glass of absinthe...
nope...
it all tastes like paregoric to me, that awful med I had to take as a child whenever I had the "runs"
I like licorice
I love anise
and fennel etc
chacun a son gout, ruru
my husband loves it too
I cook with fennel fairly often
I would rather be sober for the rest of my life than drink absinthe.
absinthe is an acquired taste for sure
It's illegal in the US, right?
in its pure form yes
Nope, it became legal in 2007
But Ru is right, the really good, pure stuff is still not available
The die hard absinthe drinkers tell me that what is available in the US is like watered down beer. Gross.
I have had it in france... like I said it's an acquired taste
and it's true what we have here is nothing like the real thing
People can go on and on about the quality of alcoholic beverages. The general disdain for American beer is kind of amusing, since we have some top shelf breweries here now.
now that I wouldn't know.. I can't drink beer.. I hear we have some great ones in the Russian RIver area
Craft breweries have multiplied like mushrooms after rain. I have gotten an education in this since my niece started working for Mayflower Brewery in Plymouth Mass
It's a "microbrewery" founded by the 10th great-grandson of John Alden, one of the original Pilgrim settlers from 1620

I am not a morning person.
i wasn't a morning person either, but once i turned 40-ish, i started waking up earlier and earlier
i was up at 8 this morning, SATURDAY!!! i can't sleep in anymore
I used to be... but bad sleeps make for sllow mornings.
I used to get up quite early during college, med school, and residency, but as I have gotten older I desire sleeping in.

Oh, yes, Kate, but this weekend is a cleaning assault on my house so it is presentable for my bunny litters.
I mean sitters, haha.
Dear silly dictionary: Rerail is a word. it's what you do to put a boxcar back on the track after a derailment. ty, that is all.
You tell them, Kate.
oh yes! I saw that you were going for 2 weeks..hiking then DC meetup YAY..hiking with sister?
To Shenandoah National Park in VA for a week and dinner with Babblers on my last night--Dan2bit, JE, Krista, and Seain.
Krista and I met 2-3 years ago when she drove through here to Niagara Falls, but I get to meet my other buddies.
Sounds like fun, Scrabs.
102 left for tonight.
I am excited, origami, but this weekend will be lots of work decluttering and cleaning. I need deadlines like this to get work done.
I remember when Krista came up, was that 3 years ago already? It will be fun for all of you. I thought that you had met the DC squad before
No, but we worked out a time and a place, and transportation issues.
this was a brutal grid scrabbs... just a heads up. ruru called it a bruiser, so you know it's an ugly one.
I struggled to get halfway and I need 2 more to get to 99 left.
I hope you all post lots of pics.. and for the hike too!
I sure will, Kate. 99 left, so time for oatmeal with fruit.

I confused someone this morning because the correct spelling of the rhyme is "eeny, meeny, miny, moe"
hello. Are there any doctors on line? l'm waiting for the visiting nurse
and l've just broken out in hives
Take benedryl
the "hospital at home" nurse said l shouldwait 'til she gets here
she thinks it might be from the chemo & wants to take a look
l'm trying not to scratch
maybe a cold cloth on it?
hope she gets there soon
I had hives on my belly when I was pregnant [that a long time ago]
l'll try that, but l'm afraid to get in the tub
yes I sat in the tub with hives got some relief
l've had them from foods that l've developed allergie to in the past 10 years (l'm too old to get new allergies!!)
Put Epsom salt in that bath
na 7/28, pls
tr 7/28 and 8 /40 ??
Don't get in the tub if you feel too unsteady for that. Try the cool cloths until the nurse has a valid medical suggestion
Hives are hot, coolness will give you a little relief
Sorry, ruby. Hope the nurse gets there soon
stuck on tr 7 28 ??
ty, origami
I have 2 ~ tr 8s
l'm afraid to use the epi-pen or take benadryl

ty origami
you're welcome bich
Do you know when the nurse will get there? Can you contact them, ruby?
probably in an hour
I have eczema and when it really itches; I put either very cold or very hot on it. I gets numb
l would normally self-medicate, but this is a little different and she said not to do anything
You are not whining Ruby. You are trying to distract yourself and get some support. Both are okay.
Ruby, hope you check in after the nurse gets there.
I agree with Molly.
Hi Cos, did you get together with your neighbors last night?
*Waves at Dee. We miss you in chat. Hope you are well.
l'm still waiting but l'm cooking dogs' dinner and eating yoghurt as l'm starving
Ruby you need to cook for you too. Yogurt is not the thing when you are starving.
l put in lots of quince jam
Do you have quince bushes ruby? I have 2, but the birds always eat the fruit
l have a big quince tree, but the fruit rots before it's ripe. lt has beatiful flowers, thiugh
l used to make jars of currant Jelly, but it's too much work. The commercial quince jam is perfect
I love quince jam. I am going to make kumquat marmalade later today.
Have enough fruit to feed a small nation.
hey hey!!! the ice cream truck is ln the street p;aying pop goes the weasel.... walter went out and got some!!
l used to be ambitious vis-Ã -vis jam-making. Not any more
Walter is a good one. Nothing like ice cream from the ice cream man

lots of builds off the two sn5,10 verbs
Oy, I was trying to give clues that didn't spell out most of the words
sorry if I offended
Oh, no problem. The original way of cluing here was to use no more than the first two words. Or to give a hint that made you think about what the word was. Now, people just clue any old way.
all i used was the first 2 letters, but anyhow.
back to the grid... 5 left to go
Misunderstood your clue then. I thought you were cluing the en words with the sn words that follow
I like to avoid giving out the first 4 letters as well, Molly
Sheesh, I didn't give out 4 letters. I gave 2. I won't clue any more so as to avoid inadvertently offending anyone. hagd.
not a problem natasha - you were giving a clue -- nobody gets upset with that! In fact, your comment helped me when it came to the in words :-)
anyone ever thought of having a list of clue giving do's and don'ts? Didn't realize there were so many. Good thing I don't clue.
firewords! tx lickety and all cluers!
lol -- there seems to be enough rules around here without adding more, granny -- molly was just commenting on different styles of clue giving and I added that I used the same method as she does -- no right or wrong, and I regret that Natasha is upset about it --- clueing methods rank pretty low on a scale of importance as far as I'm concerned
grats, dan
I agree and was just making a tongue-in-cheek observation.
is the mary poppins clue a double letter in the middle of the word?
I'm only "upset" because I felt judged, and bewildered as to the reason. For myself, I come onto this site as a haven from the judgments and critiques of others at work or in other settings... I guess there is no place free of that. Geez, I'm starting to sound like a millennial seeking a "safe space" with coloring books and puppies and hot chocolate... :-)
yes, mlf
ty cyber the words I thought it was are not working
Natasha it varies the way we all clue I don't even clue the same way twice sometimes don't worry about it

Missing just one word... that last tr6,18... grateful for any gentle hints to push me over the finish line! :-)
Hmm. Just getting started, Natasha. Don't have that one yet.
Judi, how was your trip?
lol thx Judi. there's about a gazillion tr words (OK, maybe just 14)
It was great, Molls. Really hot, though.
We always seem to hit an "unseasonably hot" week whenever we go there. Eh. We went up into the mountains where it was a little cooler.
Well I hope you had fun. Regardless of the weather.
I see Miss Bitter paid us a visit. And she is still as bitter as ever. So sad. Too bad.
tr 6/18: latin 3 + prefix under discussion earlier in chat
I am not at all bitter or sad. I have just had enough of you and I think many of the other players have as well. You have driven some players out of this chat. I think that's what is sad.
I see Trif made the grid today.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, "Serenity". But you might try posting your comments with your real name, instead of the fake sign on name you chose to make your opinions so well known.
love your icon picture, serenity -- have to remember that for when the grandkids come to visit --- they will love it!
Aw, you guys call a truce already and move on. Your sniping at each other is a real drag.
I'm done Judi. Carry on.
clue for the last tr6/18, please
tr+ anagram for a trig function
attempts with an extra consonant towards the end
The nurse didn't show up but the rash has subsided enough so l can go to sleep.
that's a better clue, dan
glad to hear that, ruby
Uh oh. Allergic reaction, Ruby?
I think that we have all forgotten this is a game and meant to be enjoyable.
l broke out in terrible hives and the visiting nurse was supposed to be here more than an hour ago. >>The rash subsided without her! And the doctor at the service when l called back said, he didn't think it was from the chemo, so l can take it
Mysterious. Did you take a Benadryl (or similar)?
She told me not to, so (with the help of babble, l toughed it out LOL
Ah, Babble. The salve for the soul.
hello again
and for the rash!
Glad you are getting better. Hopefully the slack-ass nurse will show up soon.
no, l told her not to come; l'd ratther go to bed
I'm not saying it's from the chemo... but when my hub was on chemo (5FU) and got mouth sores the 1st week, the docs insisted it wasn't from the chemo and treated him for herpes... which it wasn't. It was chemo mouth sores for goodness' sake. Just sayin' ...
Fair enough.
l'm sorry to have bothered everybody
YOU are never a bother, Ruby.
l'm on the third cycle andd have had no side effects (so far)
Amen Judi!
no no no no not a bother at all.. we come here to vent. god knows i do
How goes the aftermath, Cos?
You guys are so nice and you kept me from scratchng!
just in a really really bad mood today is all
I was warned about mouth sores so it isnt unknown. But I was lucky too and had no side effects
Understandable, Cos. Anger goes along with grief quite often.
This new chemo comes with a list of possible side effects including mouth sores. The hives were extremities and torso
hanging out with neighbors tonight for margaritas and tacos but i wish they wouldnt hit on me
All I'm saying is, side effects don't always read the manual, if you know what I mean.
lf it had been in my throat l would have ggiven myself an Epi-pen shot
perhaps you need some of those mitts they put on babies Ruby!!
LOL! Oh no! Talk about social faux pas.
That's true, but l've been Lucky (except for havijg cancer, lol) so far
I get it, ruby... I've had it twice. Still here to bother you all :-)
Ruby, sending good thoughts your way and hoping the hives subside.
That's crazy, cos, you must be irresistible, even sad!
Thans Molly. l read back, was "serenity" the usual high school troll girl?
I know Ruby if I am asked I say I have always been so healthy -oh- apart from a heart attack - and oh- apart from cancer!!!
Well, I'd love to stay and play some more, but that animal hair isn't going to vacuum itself. 67 left in the bucket. See y'all tomorrow!
"Cancer, shmancer, as long as you're healthy"
No Ruby. Just someone else with issues.
Deeha, that's funny as l say the same thing
Good night everybody, l'm hoping for a huge grid for tomorrow!
night ruby, hope your rash vanishes!
after the heart attack my daughter bought me a hot air balloon trip. After the cancer she bought me a helicopter ride over \London. I cant wait for my next life threatening disease!!!
I guess we'll all be up in the air for that one deeha

no reason Nancy.. we've just been having a spate of Trolls lately.. and their postings often are rude and don't make sense. like the one below. Never mind
I know, have read it all but it was advised that we ignore, I see this as another attention seeker.
I guess...
What's the matter, ru?

Hi TO, verb form of the previous 2 words
Hello again.
Oh, you haven't been here in a while, Kate. Good night.
hi all, anyone know when the ratings will be updated, or is my computer stuck on 1025 for everyone who has finished the grids in the last 30 days?
Mine is at 1030
ooh, ok... I see 1025, wonder why
Just kidding!ðŸ˜
LOL, I am so gullible!
I wrote to dr g about it but no response
I thinj he thinks i am a pita
Think
ok, ty.. a pita?
Pain in the ass
LOL ! no, you are not.. it has been that way for quite some time and I'm glad you wrote.
Ru - remember DrG said that he hadn't rec'd emails for months. Are you on the FB Babble group ? if so maybe query there
Yeah i can do that
hi lynnx, good idea
good morning to you both
Hi lynx
I figured that it would be corrected after the "crash" of the server, but the ratings error persisted
Perhaps when Dr. God set thing up to run through 2019, he didn't ser the stats to update at the same time? just a guess.
hi Kate - no, the stats were already wacky before the collapse
reason I noticed is that after I goofed and forgot to finish a grid on a busy day, I was looking forward to restoring a 1030 after a month, but it didn't happen
I think Kate has the right idea
Sorry, I did know that people had been asking about weird stats not being updated..I don't normally pay much attention sine I tend to wander in and out. It's been a couple weeks, hasn't it?
Same here Aloy - cept my internet went down for a day
Hi (lynxx) it's been a long time since I saw you regularly.
ouch, lynxxx! that hurts!
Still here regularly but not so inclined to chat nowadays
I lurk a lot too...
same here, lynxxx, I lurk a lot, lol !
I don’t lurk
me as well :) in fact I am lurking as we speak
(Ru - he just punns a lot)
no, you are a non-lurker, ru - and I'm glad
When I'm not being a night owl, I never see you. Haven't even made the flip in a while.
hi Harry
ooh, I spy Harry!
I lurk as well. All of the lurkers seem to be coming out tonight.
darn. I thought I was lurking so well.
and with the Babble crash I started doing Iron Sudoko and sadly I am quite hooked. Babble is coming second
But we are also regular chatters.. there are silent lurkerz that never make a peep.
true, Kate
I can't seem to find the M or the bottom E. any clues out there?
haha lyn.. yu are not alone. Many Babblers have recebntly taken it up! (YAY)
efile doesn't work - even though that's what I did with my taxes!

I did just get 5 en words though, thanks
NCIS repeat here... they are going to kill off Abby on Tiesday, bu the look of things :( big waaaah!
thanks Kate but just trying to get half way and then heading for bed :)

well, busy day tomorrow so I'm checking out.. but I can clue before I go if anyone needs one?

LOL... see you all next time in BabbleLand.. enjoyed "Lurkers Night Out" _ ciao for now!
bye Aloy
yes, Aloy,, she is as important ans Gibbs... her and Penelope from Criminal Minds are 2 of "the most trusted" characters on series tv.... I love both characters... I am just hoping they don't actually kill her.. but she decides to leave after whatever lands her in hospital looking to be in bad shape.
s'okay saph... everyone does it... no worries
