Dah pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause theyâ€™re
About to go down
And youâ€™ll know just what to do.

12:33 am

OldRottenHat

wordup? Pronoun and the Alphabets?

12:33 am

Douglas

Wave your hands in the air
Like you donâ€™t care, glide by
The People as they start to look and stare.
Do you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me whatâ€™s
The Word, ah â€“ word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway,
Word up, itâ€™s the code word,
No matter where you say it,
Youâ€™ll know that youâ€™ll be heard.

Now all you sucker. D.J.â€™s
Who think youâ€™re fly
Thereâ€™s got to be a reason
And we know the reason why.
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That youâ€™re acting like fools.

12:34 am

Cathyar

change it to gridup

12:34 am

Douglas

If thereâ€™s music we can use it
We need to dance.
We donâ€™t have that time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me whatâ€™s the word.

12:35 am

Douglas

Ah â€“ word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway.

Dial â€œLâ€ for low...
Come on, all you people say...
Word up â€“ word up

1:08 am

tazpink

1:08 am

Douglas

One thing that's curious is that there are three five-letter words which are all anagrams of each other...that's a little unusual...

1:09 am

Cathyar

doug gave a good clue earlier for the "bead thing"...it's used mostly by roman catholics, but spelled a bit incorrectly.

1:09 am

mrpresident

the ca10 is italian

1:09 am

tazpink

ok ty mrp

1:09 am

RocDragon

the ca9 is proper, which is why it's not a valid word.

1:09 am

chic

Hey there Mrp!

1:09 am

Cathyar

very observant doug

1:09 am

mrpresident

1:12 am

Cathyar

eww...another phantom...for surfers no less.... cahuna!!!

1:12 am

mrpresident

they are home chic! bugger day!

1:12 am

tazpink

oooo

1:12 am

RocDragon

the ca 10 apparently means a member of a particular italian mafia that sounds like an image-capturing device.

1:13 am

melonheadjujube

does the ca10 start with the last ca 6/24?

1:13 am

chic

poor mrp and the kids too!

1:13 am

Blaze

Hello to all....

1:18 am

RocDragon

the ca word is listed in m-w.com

1:18 am

jillibus

and Douglas - I think you have compsognathus too

1:19 am

Douglas

It's an ornithomimus, but they are similar, aren't they?

1:19 am

jillibus

no cath - there's a green glow...

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

clue: the 10 letter word is a Nine Lives star stuck inside something like a cateye. for those who don't know my warped mind, this is a cryptic clue.

1:19 am

jillibus

they certainly are similar

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

ro8 anyone?

1:20 am

Douglas

melon, you most indisputably rock! That was a great clue!

1:20 am

jillibus

guess I'd better try to find some words ;)

1:21 am

RocDragon

ro7 ends with a family member.. ro8 plural.

1:21 am

jillibus

I didn't get it, melon. Is Nine Lives a boy band?

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

no. think TV ad.

1:21 am

Douglas

It's a band of boy cats...

1:22 am

Cathyar

lol

1:22 am

Douglas

with smoothly choreographed dance moves...

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

haha douglas

1:22 am

jillibus

I know it's cat food but maybe haven't seen the ad

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

maybe i'm showing my age. THE CAT HAS A NAME!

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

much like a dance that involves a lot of spinning.

1:23 am

Douglas

It has been a while since those commercials, hasn't it?

1:23 am

bekki

ty melon

1:24 am

1:25 am

Douglas

A cat not unlike Bustopher Jones in the musical Cats

1:25 am

Cathyar

A twenty-five pounder, or I am a bounder

this one has me stumped. i want to go to bed. but i need to get his one first

1:45 am

cassandra_sava

can anyone tell me , what are the numbers indicating on for example ca,10?

1:46 am

jillibus

that ca10 word is not a familiar one. If you put the name of the cat inside the cat and add an eye you'll get it

1:46 am

FMitch

yi4/6 stay on the top row

1:47 am

cassandra_sava

thanks

1:47 am

OldRottenHat

ca is the the first two letters of the word; the 10 is the number of letters the word contains.

1:47 am

jillibus

ca10/84 means the word starts with ca, has 10 letters, and scores 84. If you scroll down to Friends of Babble on the left, you'll find a link to Angelsong and this will explain lots about the game

1:48 am

tazpink

every bit of info helps ty

1:48 am

jillibus

Now I'd like to find a few more words before bedtime!

1:48 am

Glad it wasn't my coming in that caused it, lol. How's the grid?

3:35 am

Frances

Will do Kitty

3:36 am

sprite

jillibus: that sounds great. I am a knitter too. Could I help?

3:36 am

KittyVane

That sounds wonderful Jilli!

3:38 am

jillibus

At the moment the person here who organises it has enough. It seems it's hard to get them to the right destination - they get confiscated by "authorities" who then sell them so they almost have to be smuggled.

3:38 am

Douglas

The next time I'm in Lima, I'll remember this in 4/4

3:39 am

sprite

Now that is truly sad, jilli. Some "authorities" should be kicked in the (where it hurts) frequently. At least.

3:39 am

KittyVane

I agree with Sprite, that's just not right. :(

3:40 am

jillibus

Lots of things going on are not right, right?

3:40 am

Douglas

I'd like a famous medical center on my ham sandwich, please...

3:41 am

sprite

Right. But I refuse to accept that as a fact of life.

3:41 am

Frances

Unfortunately it happens. The problem is it is always where the people need the most help that the powers that be seem to be the most corrupt.

3:41 am

jillibus

I shall now leave you all to contemplate that clue from Douglas, lol -- goodnight!

3:42 am

Having trouble getting my pic to change... and I know how to do it...

3:54 am

PappouTed

yes, he finally showed himself

3:54 am

Jera

Some songs would be great... but I can't really start planning dinos until after the luau this weekend...

3:55 am

PappouTed

odin, I'll choose another one, I didn't know it was taken

3:55 am

sprite

Isn't it strange that Am7/32 is hidden in Ca10/84?

3:55 am

Jera

Hmmm... itsy isn't a word?? That poor little spider...

3:56 am

Odin

No problem...I tried changing it for quite a while but the site is weird today

3:56 am

Douglas

There was a crossword puzzle recently where famous people were clued as anagrams of their names...Eager to use lyrical mold is an anagram for Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who gave us...

3:57 am

PappouTed

jera, let me know if you want some songs

3:57 am

Jera

I sure would, PT... my e-mail is in my bio...

3:58 am

PappouTed

jera, do you still have a record player?

3:58 am

sprite

Nah, the only anagram one can make of my name is Canard Ass. I think I better not become famous.

3:58 am

Jera

Ha, somewhere in storage...

3:59 am

Douglas

Over 100 words! Woot!

3:59 am

PappouTed

nevermind, lol, I'll see if I can tape off the record player onto a tape (that is if I can find the album)

4:00 am

sprite

Good going Douglas!

4:00 am

Jera

That would be awesome... these will be 5 year olds, btw...

4:00 am

Odin

Not having much luck this morning...

4:01 am

sprite

Odin, it is the site. If I click you profile, I see the new one. I will refresh until the site follows suit.

4:01 am

PappouTed

I teach 5 year olds, need some art projects?

4:01 am

Jera

Oh wow, yes... that would be cool!

4:02 am

PappouTed

I used to do dino t-shirts, kids loved them (sponge-paint)

4:02 am

Odin

Not the site now...just not finding many words...brain is mush Sprite!

4:03 am

Douglas

Meaningless protest that "situ" isn't in the dictionary, as in "in situ" meaning "in place"

4:03 am

sprite

Ah, I thought you still had trouble with the icon. Would some sleep help, Odin? ;)

4:03 am

Odin

Unfortunetly...I just woke up and have several Starbucks to no avail.

4:04 am

sprite

In that case, all you need do is wake up proper. Some coffee, I think... a nice walk in the garden...

4:04 am

KittyVane

I'd like to protest that "smore" isn't in the dictionary.
mmm... s'mores...

4:05 am

Odin

I live on a lake but it's still dark out. Maybe at dawn...

4:05 am

FMitch

Does anyone have the am7/32 please

4:05 am

sprite

I hope you all realise that it is the dictionary that is to blame, not us. We know more words than the dictionary. Frightening, isn't it? :)

4:05 am

PappouTed

jera, just sent you an email

4:05 am

sprite

FMitch: he is a lover, not a fighter.

4:06 am

Frances

FMitch
Sounds like a bit of a romantic

4:06 am

Jera

4:09 am

sherb

4:09 am

Douglas

What would you call it if there were two megalomanic billionaire currency speculators seeking to buy the White House?

4:10 am

sprite

Angb: some of the best words today end in one of them!

4:10 am

caitlyn

Morning sherb

Jera

An election campaign, Douglas?

4:10 am

Douglas

4:10 am

Angb

4:10 am

sherb

I don't know, Douglas, what would you call it? *prepares to groan...*

4:10 am

Douglas

Well, yes, but that's not what I was trying to clue...

4:10 am

PappouTed

oh, ok

4:11 am

FMitch

Morning caitlyn and sherb

Quite a few words where the y is the 2nd letter too.

4:11 am

sprite

Hey sherb!

4:11 am

PappouTed

thanks for that clue, fmitch

4:11 am

Douglas

I was thinking about what the plural of a well-known megalomaniac billionaire currency speculator trying to buy the White House would be...

4:11 am

Odin

Boy am I missing those FMitch...

4:12 am

sprite

I love the in8/60 and the Ro6/24 and Un5/16, for instance.

4:12 am

sprite

Funny that I don't know that many well-known megalomaniac billionaire currency speculators.

4:13 am

FMitch

I've got 3 more words to find, all i's - back in 5

4:13 am

sprite

I am down to 7, I will join you in the h4.

4:13 am

Douglas

I don't think the world is ready for two instances of George Soros...

4:14 am

sprite

The question is, Douglas, is it ready for one?

4:14 am

caitlyn

Sprite I thought you were talking about my husband!!

4:14 am

sprite

LOL caitlyn! I wouldn't dare!

4:15 am

Jera

My brain is fried, I'm entering silly stuff. Gonna catch a few more hours of sleep before the household wakes up... back later!

4:23 am

caitlyn

4:23 am

sprite

Smart way of putting that, Douglas :)

4:23 am

Odin

amore

4:23 am

sprite

Great, but not valid

4:23 am

PappouTed

should ne a word

4:23 am

Odin

That should be a word...I mean seriously?

4:23 am

sprite

I agree!

4:24 am

sherb

it is... but not in English... :)

4:24 am

Douglas

Your meaningless protest are irrelevant...oops, slipping into Borgspeak...

4:24 am

Douglas

oops...protests

4:24 am

sprite

But work on it for the Am7, Odin.

4:24 am

Odin

;}

4:25 am

Odin

Have that one...no other 7's

4:25 am

sprite

Never heard a Borg make that kind of mistakes, Douglas. There is still hope for you!

4:25 am

Douglas

I monkey typed diligently without finding the second tu4

4:26 am

sprite

in7/32 Those you are close to
ro7/36 verse romance, or a computerrelated family member

4:27 am

sherb

tu4 ends in "** you **, or ** you ain't my baby..."

4:27 am

Odin

TY SPRITE

4:28 am

sprite

Funny, I had trouble finding the first Tu4. The second one is fishy, except for the last letter.

4:28 am

Douglas

Oh, you are so talking my language, sherb...thanks...

4:29 am

Douglas

I got a gal who's always late!
Every time we have a date!
But I love her....
Yes I love her...

4:29 am

sprite

I am off, have a nice day/night/whatever all of you.

4:29 am

Douglas

I'm gonna walk right to her gate,
And see if I can get it straight,
Cause I love her,
I gotta ask her....

4:30 am

sherb

sprite - does the in7 end in S? I've got an in6 but it won't take a plural

4:30 am

FMitch

Bye sprite ahve a good day.

4:30 am

Douglas

Is you is, or is you ain't my baby
Way you're acting lately makes me doubt

4:30 am

sprite

Latin plural, sherb!

4:30 am

Odin

Later Sprite...I'm off for work...be back later.

4:31 am

Douglas

You's is still my baby, baby,
Or has my flame in your heart done gone out?

4:31 am

FMitch

sherb think latin pl

4:31 am

sherb

thanks sprite!! ...have a good day :)

4:32 am

sherb

it came off a different in6...

nice singing Douglas :)

4:32 am

Douglas

A woman is a creature,
That has always been strange...

4:33 am

Douglas

Just when you're sure of one,
You find she's gone and made a change

4:33 am

FMitch

I'm surprised he has any voice left sherb - doug has been singin on and off since the flip

4:33 am

Douglas

Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
Maybe baby's found somebody new....
Or is my baby still my baby true?

4:33 am

PappouTed

does the ca 10 build off the ca6, 24?

4:33 am

sherb

he and chj should start a group...

4:34 am

FMitch

No Pappou, it's stands alone

4:34 am

PappouTed

oh well, it was a thought

4:35 am

Douglas

I'm at 114...woo-hoo!

4:36 am

Douglas

I'm not getting what you mean by think latin plural for the in7

4:36 am

sherb

singular ends in a vowel... plural ends in two...

4:37 am

Angb

Douglas, it the last syllable lose all the consonants

4:37 am

sherb

there are two similar in6's...

4:37 am

Douglas

Oh, that would explain, I don't have that in6...

4:38 am

Angb

Forget what I said, I am mesmerised by all the ys

4:38 am

FMitch

and don't overlook the in8/60 that sits amid them

4:38 am

sherb

duh... finally saw the in8!!

4:39 am

Angb

I got that one first LOL. Hence my total confusion. I am now going to hid back under my rock!

4:40 am

Douglas

Meaningless protest over amos not being in the dictionary...

4:41 am

Angb

What's wrong with itsy?

4:41 am

PappouTed

it

4:41 am

PappouTed

it's just so bitsy

4:41 am

PappouTed

lol

4:42 am

Angb

LOL PappouTed

4:43 am

PappouTed

angb, after some of the words I type in, I have to wonder why it's not a word, LOL. I use it all the time

4:43 am

Douglas

They're not called the United Arab Amirates, kay?

4:43 am

FMitch

I've changed my icon to follow the theme

4:44 am

Douglas

If je4/11 is in the dictionary, then Amos should be as well...

4:44 am

Douglas

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun,
He lived by hisself in the swamp

4:44 am

Douglas

They hunted alligator for a livin'
They just knock em in the head with a stone

4:45 am

Douglas

The Louisiana law gonna getcha Amos...

4:45 am

Douglas

It ain't legal huntin' alligator down in the swamp boy...

4:46 am

Douglas

Now everybody blamed his old man,
For makin' him mean as a snake...

4:46 am

sherb

The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart

4:46 am

pam

good morning...

4:46 am

Douglas

When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy
Would use him for alligator bait...

4:46 am

Angb

F Mitch. Icon? This car looks great, not extinct.

4:46 am

sherb

The weatherman says, "Fine today"
He doesn't know that you've gone away
And it's raining, raining in my heart

4:47 am

FMitch

lol it's a Ferrari Dino

4:47 am

sherb

Oh, oh, mi6, oh, mi6
Oh, what's gonna become of me, oh

4:47 am

Angb

Oh no. Shame on me. Mind you with my bank account, wouldn't know what one looked like!

4:49 am

PappouTed

4:49 am

Angb

4:50 am

sherb

Douglas would be a winner...

4:51 am

4:55 am

5:03 am

FranMag

5:26 am

FMitch

'Fraid so misspips, one of the drawbacks of the Enable dictionery that is behind the grid.

5:26 am

FranMag

if it's accepted then it has another meaning.

2:05 pm

Cathyar

2:05 pm

Cathyar

2:05 pm

magzel

gold toe is a brand name of socks

2:05 pm

kristinc

no green thumb for me...you're in the presence of a plant killer

2:06 pm

kristinc

cathy...we lost our first baby at 36 weeks...found out today they think it was a cord accident...he was born July 16th (due date today in fact)

2:06 pm

FMitch

ok we'll say you have a black thumb then kristinc :)

2:06 pm

kristinc

fair enough fmitch...my husband is charge of the plants at our house

2:06 pm

Cathyar

2:07 pm

kristinc

2:07 pm

kristinc

2:07 pm

Cathyar

yes...agree kristinc

2:08 pm

magzel

any have ri6/21

2:08 pm

Anniebrook

Kristin, the same tragedy happened to me(it was a cord accident) 42 years ago, way before you were born, it will get better, I promise. The reason I am telling this is that you mentioned the cord. There was a knot in the cord and the oxygen was not being provided to our son. It happened during delivery and a C section was not performed. It will get better.

2:08 pm

kristinc

can someone clue the 10...don't have the list yet

2:08 pm

jillibus

kristin - it must be hard to be upbeat right now - but you're doing a great job

2:08 pm

FMitch

Tomorrow is golden kristinc and hubby and baby day then.

2:08 pm

Cathyar

eww...gold toe is also an insect repellant

2:09 pm

jillibus

cath - that's appropriate for socks

2:09 pm

kristinc

thanks annie and jilli and fmitch...we were actually glad to find out (as much as you can) today that it was a cord issue rather than a genetic concern...gives us hope for the future

2:09 pm

kristinc

that's funny cath

2:09 pm

Cathyar

yes...that is true kristinc...you can still have a child!

2:10 pm

NANCY

I need a clue for a couple of mo's please. One is the first 6/21 not the cat and the other is a 5/12, not the wet one or plural of extra. Can anyone help, thanks

2:10 pm

mattygroves

Hi! I'm back - finally home.

2:10 pm

kristinc

hi matty

2:10 pm

CiociaJudy

the 10 is ca + ****** the cat (cat commercials) + not coffee but *** (tinker the spelling)

2:11 pm

Anniebrook

jilli, are you here?

2:11 pm

mattygroves

Oh, Kristin - I've just read the log - I'm so sorry for your loss.

Cathyar

i'll put it up later as it is a bit early in the day for tomorrow's icon

2:12 pm

kristinc

thanks cathy...quite special

2:12 pm

CiociaJudy

I agree Kristin. Where do they find these words.

2:12 pm

Cathyar

that 10 is apparently related to a mafia family...perhaps the family name? i dunno.

2:13 pm

jillibus

they allow a word like the 10 but not "internet". Go figure

2:13 pm

Anniebrook

Jilli, I still cant change my icon (did it once as you see) but cant do it again (it embarrassing). can you in a very simple way tell me again. could you email it to me at astern@aol.com, pretty please

2:13 pm

mattygroves

And no smores.

2:13 pm

kristinc

I tried that one too matty

2:14 pm

raelite

2:14 pm

mattygroves

Annie - click on My account. In your account, there's a little representation of your icon. Under that , is a link 'change icon'. Go in there.

2:14 pm

Cathyar

ya...and if it IS a mafia family name, would it not be a proper noun? therefore unallowable?

2:14 pm

raelite

2:26 pm

2:32 pm

Atalante

grunts? grunts???

2:33 pm

Eva

that's the second one in three days-he's an indoor cat, and the mice don't usually come in at this time of year, although it has been unusually cold. I actually prefer them alive

2:33 pm

periwinkle

I have one cat, 10 + 1/2 years old, her name is Zoe-Anne and she is very busy napping at my feet.

2:33 pm

Eva

well waving isn't his thing atalante...conservation of energy being one of the primary rules of being a cat

2:33 pm

CiociaJudy

I inherited two and took in a stray--Tigger, Jasper & Meeko. And none of them like each other

2:33 pm

Atalante

*giggles* true!

2:34 pm

Eva

what a beautiful name, zoe-anne.

2:34 pm

periwinkle

thanks Eva, She was just Zoe at first and then my mom died so I added Anne in memory of my mom.

whitewitch, if they play more international teams, I think they will improve. They have little support here.

Deutschland did very well. I was happy to see them win!

Soccer, as we call it here, aka fussball, is not well attended. Most people prefer the rugby ripoff of American Football, or the slow ver of cricket, Baseball.

3:33 pm

3:35 pm

mattygroves

Lucky you, chj! My husband's going to Thursday's first day of the test England v Pakistan.

3:35 pm

its tough to get excited about a sport where one team can take a 300 to 0 lead

3:35 pm

Deutsch

Wow, then there's hope for the US, white!

3:35 pm

Krista

MaMaWa, sorry for the lame answer, but we always complain about that. I wish I knew, too. I am often eager to see a definition, but it's not there.

4:28 pm

oh, and just as I was getting it, a VERY VERY loud squirrel parked himself on the fence next to my window here, and started screaming at me ... I think he was saying "hurry up dummy, finish your babble and move on to other things."

4:28 pm

Douglas

Hooray for nrkii!

I had to go outside and ask that squirrel what his issue was -- he was staring in my window and shouting -- very strange

4:30 pm

Douglas

Then why is je4/11 in the dictionary? Hmm?

4:31 pm

nrkii

then he saw me, gave me A LOOK, and proceded down the fence to the next window of my house, where he again looked in and shouted...

4:31 pm

chj

he wanted to know when the acorns were comin

4:31 pm

Douglas

So then the Latin plural of the first in 6/21 is the in 7/32

4:31 pm

The little bird in the cage chittered and ran its beak across a stick. Helena put her hand out and pulled an old sheet over the cage while watching her son closely.

9:28 pm

lbdawger

9:29 pm

9:30 pm

CadFan

Hi all

jillibus

nothing is deer-proof where I live - a few exceptions I'll mention later

9:31 pm

Sebastian's reply was incoherent, but decidedly sullen. Helena stood up and pushed her chair under the table.

9:31 pm

9:32 pm

Sebastian took his hands out of his pockets and half-heartedly kissed his mother's cheek before he slunk out of the kitchen.

9:32 pm

lbdawger

*doncha just wish you could freeze kids through puberty?*

9:32 pm

jillibus

9:33 pm

stidmama

Rain started to hit the roof, it came from the other side of the house. Just as it arrived over Helena's head, Peter and Daniel burst through the door, jackets over their heads.

9:34 pm

jillibus

YAY kristin!! What an appropriate day!!! Life goes on

9:34 pm

stidmama

Special hugs {{{{{{{{{{{{{Kristin}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
}} and family

9:36 pm

stidmama

The men stopped at the door and took off their muddy shoes and hung their jackets over a metal pan. Helena handed a towel to each of them, and stepped to the stove to lift the kettle lid before it boiled over.

9:37 pm

stidmama

Peter wiped the wet from his face and neck and hands; Daniel wiped his hands, neck and face.

9:38 pm

lbdawger

*wow, she has her men trained! off with the muddy shoes ANd they hung up theri jackets!*

9:38 pm

jillibus

*whispers to stid* Do you know why this is special for Kristin?

9:39 pm

stidmama

Helena poured some water into the teapot and the rest into a basin in the sink. She put the towels and the wash rags into the hot water and swished them around.

9:39 pm

stidmama

*no jill, what happened?*

9:40 pm

jillibus

*she lost a newborn at 36 days, born in July - a cord problem she found out about just today.*

9:40 pm

stidmama

Daniel nipped into the pantry and came out with a bit of nut bread. Peter grabbed a couple small plates and a large knife (and the cutting board).

9:41 pm

stidmama

*different baby or the Dylan we knew about?*

9:42 pm

jillibus

*I don't know - didn't hear about Dylan but it was a boy"

9:42 pm

stidmama

**sending Kristin hugs and love via babblepathy**

9:43 pm

lbdawger

oh dearest Kristin. t's and p's

9:43 pm

stidmama

*Okay, probably same baby. I will go back in the log later and catch up on today's info*

9:43 pm

jillibus

*she is being very brave and upbeat - was worried that it was something genetic and relieved that it was a cord problem*

9:43 pm

lbdawger

is the chatbox shortened on the right side for anyone else?

9:44 pm

jillibus

I hope not

9:45 pm

stidmama

As Helena pulled the towels and cloths out, she laid them across a wooden rack over the drainboard. By morning, they would be dry and clean. She left the water in the basin to cool overnight.

9:45 pm

lbdawger

hmm, must be on my side...figures. gotta find the pillows...night night everyone. see you tomorrow.

9:45 pm

stidmama

Daniel was already pouring out the tea when Helena sat down, her apron off and her sleeves unrolled.

9:45 pm

jillibus

nite lbd - sleep tight

9:46 pm

stidmama

good night LBD... see you tomorrow!

9:46 pm

renfield

sweet zzzzz's lb

9:46 pm

stidmama

Peter passed a small slice of bread to her, and a large slice to Daniel. He protectively kept the cutting board on his side of the table.

9:48 pm

stidmama

Helena laughed and her eyes lit up. Peter was struck by how much she had changed since their marriage -- and how beautiful she had become in those years. It was not easy to be a farmer's wife, far from family and friends.

9:48 pm

renfield

hmm home made bread......

9:49 pm

stidmama

Daniel watched his father's face and focused on dipping his bread in his tea. "It looks like a big storm tonight, Mother. We got the outbuildings secured, but I am afraid it was too dark to do much about your garden."

9:50 pm

stidmama

Peter grunted, "The garden should be all right son, I'm more worried about the hay in the field. It's not at all protected, and it's close to harvest."

9:51 pm

stidmama

Helena listened quietly, enjoying the warm banter. She looked from her son to his father and back. She remembered when Daniel had been less than attractive in manner and appearance; and reflected that most children turned out pretty well.

9:53 pm

stidmama

Finally, the tea and nutbread disappeared, the crumbs knocked off the plates into the slop bucket by the door. Helena stacked the cups and plates by the sink and refilled the kettle for the morning while Daniel saw to the stove and Peter put away the cutting board.

9:55 pm

stidmama

Daniel excused himself, and Peter and Helena embraced. They rarely expressed their affection for each other in front of the children, a remnant of Helena's upbringing, but they were very close nonetheless.

9:56 pm

stidmama

The rain switched around the house, gusts and puffs now from this direction, now from another, coming in burts. The plum by the kitchen porch brushed along the side of the house fitfully.

9:57 pm

jillibus

*I'm listening....

9:57 pm

renfield

9:57 pm

whitewitch1111

9:58 pm

stidmama

As they walked to their room, they spoke confidentially about the evening. Peter was truly glad to see Paul -- gladder because Gilly was so happy. Helena was withholding judgment, but knew that Adam's approval was thoughtful and just.

9:59 pm

stidmama

As they pulled the covers up, Helena spoke nervously, "Peter -- what if..." she couldn't finish the thought.

10:00 pm

stidmama

"What if what, Helena?" he turned to her in surprise.

10:01 pm

10:08 pm

stidmama

Peter leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Those are questions that cannot be answered, Helena. Paul has always been solid and had good reasons for his actions. We didn't get more than a tiny glimpse into the last ten years."

10:08 pm

stidmama

Helena watched Peter's face intently while he talked.

10:09 pm

chj

then they probably play each other fri and sat too

10:09 pm

stidmama

"And Paul didn't get more than a tiny glimpse into our lives over the past ten years, either. We will have to reconnect, it is true. But I believe that Paul is a kind and decent man, and I know that Gilly is devoted to him."

10:10 pm

stidmama

The lamp guttered a little as a whiff of wind came through the windowframe.

10:10 pm

stidmama

"If any family can survive this separation and strange reunion, it is they. And if any family can pull together and support them, it is ours."

10:11 pm

renfield

stros and cubs tied 6/6

10:11 pm

stidmama

Peter smiled at Helena and reached over to turn off the lamp. She snuggled against his warm back and tickled him a little with the ends of her braid.

10:12 pm

stidmama

Peter roared --quietly so as not to wake the children-- and gave her an embrace that chased away all thoughts of "what if."

10:13 pm

stidmama

There was now, and there was forever, and for a moment, they were one.

10:13 pm

renfield

silence.....

10:13 pm

stidmama

*did that satisfy the evanovich fans among you?* ;-)

10:14 pm

renfield

stid - i think they all passed out

10:14 pm

stidmama

*man, it sure gets quiet at story time!* LOL

10:14 pm

10:18 pm

whitewitch1111

nice story ;-)

10:19 pm

jillibus

Sue Grafton also writes raunchy mysteries, by the alphabet. I think Evanovitch was copying her. Sue has more subtlety and just as much humour.

10:19 pm

sue grafton is a mystery writer who wrote books called A as in Arson

tv programme on CBS which analysed WHY we smoked (mine was oral gratification according to the quiz) and then finding a substitute - a Japanese invention called Paipo. It was a hollow plastic "cigarette" which took the same energy to drag on as a real one and gave a menthol taste, and had a similar feel with a cuppa coffe, and I'm sure you know what I mean. Accompanied by the nicotine gum in tapering doses, it helped a lot. There's irony coming (stid-style)

11:16 pm

stidmama

Ironing? you mean shoving the t-shirts in a drawer and shaking them out when you need them?

The irony of the giving-up-smoking was that our son and family had given up and urged us to do so for the sake of our grandkids. Then they moved from Montreal to Mission, BC. When we wanted to visit them it was a 5-hour flight and I couldn't stand the idea of being without a cigarette for so long, so decided to take the plunge, and did. When we got to Mission, we found our son and his wife had relapsed, ugh!

stid, it depends on the prey instinct of the dog concerned. We had 2 danes when our cat adopted us out of nowhere (you'll see her in tomorrow's icon). One of them wanted to dispatch her and the other put up with her. The one who wanted to have a go was 11 years old and died in his sleep a little while later (we kept kitty apart) and the other one made friends until she too died at 11 years old. This cat is now 17.
