Clues are up
pirate grid
startying to storm/// nite all
It is wild out there!
thunder in the distance by me.
Snuggle up, be safe.
good morning all. A baby babble but not as bad as 10 words.
Hi all and hugs, Sprite. How are you?
The 10 word grid made me laugh!
*hugs Liz* am okay. How about you and your beloved?
We're also fine thanks.
lol yeah, me too. Only 10 x 4 letters... tiniest ever.
I think some people were pretty disappointed but like I said, I just laughed.
It's random and that's just what random means!
I always thought that the randomness was moderated, tbh. I thought it rejected grids smaller than 20 words. Guess it only rejects grids with zero words.
I would imagine that in setting up the programme, vowels and consonants were specified. Perhaps it wouldn't reject a 0 word grid.
I was wondering about a grid with all consonants - but then thought about the programming parameters.
enough for tonight, off to bed, bb in the am.
happy babbling everone
everyone
Sleep well Flosey
*hugs flosey* Sleep well, dear lady
it was funny. Glad we are back to real grids though.
thanks Liz and Sprite, and to you, enjoy the rest of this tiny grid!!!
Just missing 2 x t now - a 5 and a 6.
Found the 6
goooooo Liz!
cooee {{sprite}} {{liz}} {{flosey}}
the 7 was the first word I found. That must have been a first, lol.
Hi and hugs Rose
*hugs rose* Hello darling, how are you doing today? Has the pain settled?
I found it pretty quickly too
Can't believe I can't find a 5 letter word :(
just about thanx honey. still a little stiff. and you?? how did you get through yesterday?
could it be the little anteating animal?
No - has to be a ti or a to word
Because it's from the top r/h corner
liz, clash of the ti5s
I passed the tests! As of now, I am a certified nail stylist in manicure, gelpolish and gel nails. Acryl to follow, and a few other smaller items.
Duh! Thanks - that's fireworks for me!
Congrats, Sprite.
WTG LIZLIN !!
wtg Liz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks both of you. Time for a cup of tea as a reward. Look after yourselves and keep warm, Rose.
*hugs Liz* Have a lovely evening, and hugs to your beloved as well.
am doing so liz. you cannot believe how lovely it is to feel cold.
glad the pain is settling, rose. Stiffness to be expected, I guess... it is hard work for your body!
emigrate to the netherlands, honey. Lots of chances to feel cold. And I wouldn't mind having you close!
lolll now how did i not expect that !
*giggles*
I got nice compliments too, yesterday. Candy said she was very proud of my work, and how she loves my enthusiasm and the way I keep aiming to improve myself. *happy dance*
you may not 'see' me on sunday. after church, straight on to an afternoon celebrating my brother's 60th. then after that to Simon and Lu's to celebrate Zac's 21st.phew !!
good grief. Some day. Are you planning on a day of nothing much for the Monday?
what took her so long? i could have told her that weeks ago...lol
yeah... nothing after hydro....except collapse methinks.
lololllll welllll she is the teacher, of course. She has to be critical and demanding, or we wouldn't get to the level we have to be.
sounds about right. And Don to do the cooking, and any other chores that cannot wait.
how about the cleaning lady?
now about that... how do i deal with the fact i would feel that i am being 'seen' as lazy. i CAN do the cleaning, just lack the motivation to get off my a**e
that is SO not true, rose. Don't give me that bull. You can NOT do the cleaning without paying a high price. And your help would not see you as lazy, she would appreciate the chance to earn some money working for a lovely woman.
*wry grin* mayhap you have a point there. hokay. will definitely talk to Don
please do. Give yourself the peace of mind and the lesser demand on your body that will result from this.
not to forget not having to argue with Don about chores and his not getting of HIS lazy arse for them :D
true dat
not that I am biased in any way, mind
phantoms: errant and irrational
i know...very distracting
:D
am not doing much of anything myself today. Just groceries, cooking and singing lesson. Am very tired and my back is killing me.
btw, Zac is Lu's older son, from before she married Simon. he now considers Don and i stand-in grandparents. he wanted me to be there for his party. i feel very honoured.

magnesium, honey? do you still have some?
wow, that is special, rose. Something to cherish. How is the contact with your eldest going?
nope, all out of magnesium. Should re-order.
nothing since Claudia's birthday. but i am still playing it safe
would you allow me to order it for you?... please ?
smart lady. I think that is wise.
aw sweetie... you already give me so much! No need for you to pay for my magnesium...
hello friends, i could use company, glad to see there are people here
hey ya hurshy. lovely to see you. xoxox
how are you going honey? is all well with you?
hiya hursh *hug* what is the matter, hon?
where did hurshy go ??
not sure.
now i am concerned for her...
something may have come up.
sorry i just was like brushing my teeth and stuff
I know I had to run from babble yesterday because my model arrived 20 minutes earlier than expected.
ah lol, that is pretty harmless, hursh. Good to have you back with us
it's just a big evening
tell all honey. we are here
big as in long, or big as in important?
my husband and i were having a big conversation about divorcing, looks like we will be moving forward with that.
it's like, i'm pretty sure it's necessary, but, it's still scary.
wow... that is very big. Sounds scary and sad, hursh
oh hurshy. i know how you feel sweetie. you are about to say goodbye to your way of life.
at least you and he can talk....
yeah. i'm miserable in this marriage, but it's like, you know, i could be even more miserable, if i end up just old and alone, i suppose.
awww sweetie. here, have a granny hug. and very strong shoulders to cry on.
thanks granny :)
i was devastated when my first marriage collapsed. but at least the kids and i were safe from abuse, verbal and physical.
there is also the possibility you will feel a lot better alone, or even meeting someone who adds to your happiness. That is what I hope for for you, hursh. *hugs* from me too. Sprite hugs are good ;)
well, when we separated for a year, several years ago, i didn't feel better alone. that is why it is daunting.
a good way to help you see the 'right' way. draw up a list. cons on side, pros the other. the question? to stay in the marriage and a separate one for divorcing.
I understand. It is definitely a scary step.
what does he say, hurshy?
fireflies
it basically boils down to: if i am divorced i have a chance of finding happiness with someone else. i think the chance of being happy in THIS marriage are close to zero. the pro of staying married is that i would likely be better off financially, esp in old age.
WTG SPRITE !!!
he's ok with divorcing, granny.
and how does that make you feel?
could he and you come to a financial arrangement that would be fair to you, hursh?
yes, sprite, everything will be perfectly fair. it's just, fair will still leave me worse off, because i didn't work for a lot of years, so i'll have less social security and stuff. but i didn't not work for HIS sake, it was just cause i didn't want to or didn't know what i wanted to do, so it's not like i was taking care of kids or something of value like that.
and it's just better to have a partner when you're old, i think
so i'm ditching a not-happy but certain for a tiny chance at happy.
true. You still may have that, though. Once you are truly divorced, there will be room for meeting someone special.
but you know, as an introvert, it's very difficult.
yeah, I know it feels that way. The right someone will see right through the introvert stuff though, and see you and value you.
not if being an introvert means they don't meet you in the first place! lol
*grins* Well, once you are alone, there will be many things you have to leave your home for...
when we were separated i... went to work, and came home. stopped at the grocery store on the way home some days. that was pretty much it.
sounds familiar to me. That is how my life looked for many years too. Still met my beloved though. Anyway, I totally get how scary this is, and how uncertain.
thanks. how did you meet him?
now you can start new, honey. go out to the grocery store, then on for a takeaway coffee, to the local park and sit there enjoying the scenery. chat to children.
and i just feel like such a terrible person
through work. I had to accept a job I did not want at a company I didn not like. Then met my husband there. Fate moves in miraculous ways.
take little steps. set yourself goal/s each week and work out how you will do it.
good luck just... doesn't seem to run in my family.
aw hursh.... what on earth makes you feel like a terrible person?
and you are NOT terrible, hurshy. you are a sweet and lovable person.
feeling like things are mostly my fault and stuff.
you are a great person, hursh. I should know, I met you. And when a marriage does not work, it is never the fault of one partner. Your hushand is just as responsible.
hey, hurshy, it takes two to tango, honey. something i had o learn and accept about myself. i was not the perfect spouse for my first hubby.
snap, rose ;)
i just... hate the way my life has gone.
you poor love. i wish i could be there for you. do you have a female friend you can call on ?
that is a rotten feeling. *holds hurshy* I am sorry things are like this for you now, honey. There is quite some room for improvement though...
Big *hugs* for Hersh...I just got here, and I'm sorry things aren't looking so good for stability. It is very scary.
{{kam}}
*hugs Kam* How are you and your beloved today?
not really. not right now. i am west coast USA for the last few years, and it's late here, and it's much later everywhere else.
yay for babble then. Am glad we are allowed to keep you company right now.
We're still pooped out after yesterday's adventures...but had a decent day of rest.
how did yesterday go?
yes, i am thankful there are you guys here
Hursh, where are you? I'm in Calaveras County, Calif
it is our privilege, hursh
i'm in the bay area
Had fun, but grandson has taken to lying to get his way, which is not good. He'll be 13 in August
oh dear, that's not good
perfectly normal at that age, Kam. I hope his parents are strict and make him suffer the consequences. It will pass. then.
If you're in the East Bay, we could meet up for coffee or tea half way between. It would be lovely to meet you, and I'm a good listener
thanks, kamanjah. can i think about it? :)
Sprite, I know, but he's playing games...Dad has custody, and grandson used his grandpa to get to his mom's place against dad's wishes...stuck in the middle is not where we want to be with this kiddo!
oh kam. what a lovely person you are. and hurshy.... no, you may not think about it. chin up, honey. contact kam.
it's just late and things are overwhelming
ugh no, that is a tough situation, Kam. The grownups will have to communicate better and offer a united front.
Certainly, Hursh! I'm just offering support...if I can help you out of a rough spot, that's all...
*giggles* Listen to grannyrose, hursh... she knows best.
tomorrow then. hurshy... this is the first step for you. take kam's hand.
it is a lovely offer, Kam.
I consider all of you friends
meanwhile in babble, nbs and nbt are hard to achieve on this grid!
and I have neither, lol!
yeah, it is a bit of a mind twister, this grid. Quite fun.
I mostly lurk at this time, but I'm emerging from the undergrowth to give you a virtual hug, Hurshy. I' feel your anxiety & pain, really I do. (((())))
I have both *smug*. Oh wait... fireflies already, not much of an accomplishment then. ;)
Hursh, I'm sending you some big hugs and positive thoughts right now, if you want to talk, either on the phone or in person, you know I'm usually here about this time of night.
woooot Soodle, lovely to see you uncloak. I miss seeing you in chog! How are you doing?
thanks soodle, thank kamanjah
hey soodle. xoxox
i am right there with you hurshy. reach out your hand, and feel me holding it. feel my arms around you.
thanks granny
it's just nice to feel like... there are people around
there are. Many babblers how love you for who you are.
does anybody have the right hand U ?
how = who
All good here, thanks Sprite.
ul5/14
UL5/14
that is good to hear, Soodle
phew, monkeyed that, what a weird one
and what's the 7?
I am sorry, I have to go. *hugs* to you all. One extra for rose. And two extra for hursh, to keep on hand for when you need them. We'll be there for you all through the whole process, honey.
thank you sprite
someone who betrays their country tr7/28
the 7 is TR7/28
xoxox sprite. love you
how funny, since one of my phantoms was patriot
thanks for the UL
ironic isn't it?
well, i should really be heading for sleep, but thank you all for being so nice.
Sleep well, and if you want to get in touch more than just here in the chog, let me know. *Hugs*
hurshy, sweetheart. holding you in my thoughts and my prayers. xoxox
kam, sweetie, time for me to go. also keeping you and DH in my prayers.
thanks, i will k. goodnight for now!
Thanks, Rose! Programming is Friday, so we can use all the prayers possible that it works!!
i know kam... i am excited for you both.
Bonjour

Hi Ruby. We're having a heat wave...♪♫a hell of a heat wave♫♪
Or a tropical heat wave, as the song goes.
My sister says it's terribly hot in NY, too,
Ditto for CT and hardly any rain this month
Good morning, Babblers. Lots of ARRRRRS today.
pl 624, pls
Just reading back in the chog. So bummed for Hurshy.
What happened to Hurshy
Impending divorce.
uh oh, not good
PL + 3/4 of money in France and Germany + Egyptian sun god
that's 1 R too many...bu still...
1st pass done - bbl for last 17 - HAGD all and take care - poof
Actually had to water my flowers twice in the past 2 days! Longest we've gone without rain in I don't know how long. Thunder storms today... allegedly.
Crap. Have sales person for copiers coming in in a few minutes. *** Dread ***
ty montreal
thought judi said copters at first
Meeting over. No copters, just copiers. Copters would be way more fun.
hi friends. I want one of those handy new flamethrowers Elon Musk invented.
but a copter might be fun too
raptors, i saw raptors
I wouldn't own a tesla to save my life
i dont want a tesla, I want the flamethrower
buy a pinto trif :D
lolol....I have my heart set on an Edsel
you'll go down in flames for sure that way
I'm sticking to Toyota
I have always wanted a vintage Studebaker.. such cool cars
if judi fell in love with a copier salesman she could have a xeroxious relationship
would you still be my friend if I admitted I am straight up HIDING at work right now?
wow, guess not. okay then. lol
FYI: The copier sales person was a woman. I cannon begin to tell you how informative that meeting was.
was she good at her job?
*face palm* Whenever I hear or see Xerox, it reminds me of when I was very young (5-6 years old). My brother, who is 2 years older, was my constant mental and physical nemesis. He once told me that I wasn't mom and dad's real kid... I was a Xerox.
oh dear!
Speaking of vintage cars, I want a Nash Metropolitan (convertible of course).
Time for lunch. *POOF*

thank you
thanks Kate, finally got the pl6
:)
Hi there...nice to see you both - it's been a long time River :)
I don't usually come on during the work day but needed a break...got to get going though. I come on about 5:30 am before I start my day.
Babble and coffee is a good waqy to start the day. See you later
Kate, I once knew a person by same name but that was many, many years ago - back in West Hill, Ont.
Bye all - have a great day
ttfn River :) flosy - they were named PI 6?
we called her Kay, she was older than I, a good friend of my youngest Aunt (Grace)
You should try to look her up.. is Aunt Grace still around?
no, unfortunately, died a few years ago
That's too bad, but she must have been a ripe old age !
the Kay we knew died way back - probably mid 40s
mid 1940s I mean
Gee... long, long time ago!
yes!!! guess I'm aging myself!!
:) Nothing the matter with a little nostalgia flosey
true - for the most part, though, I enjoy an occasional trip down memory lane - many happy memories - but Kay's death hit our small community
She would have been very young in the 40s flo, what happened to her?
yes, she may have been late teens, would be my guess
wow... was she one of your vadre that haunted Little Switz?
* cadre
no, I don't remember any of that family (3 daughters) skating
Kay was older than I, and the other 2 girls from that family were probably about 4 years younger
LOL, not every Canadian skated? *gasp* ;)
lol, my mother was one of those non skaters
So was mine... dad taught us
Dad encouraged us but I don't believe I ever saw him skate - he had probably given his away - As well as 'the rink' we also skated on the creek that ran through our valley - a bit dangerous of course!!!
Oh wow!! sorry folks, guess Kay and I have taken over the chat. Twas a trip down memory lane. I'll get back to the grid! Thanks for your patience!!
and, not even half way with this tiny grid!
