Nobble - a gentle form of sabotage.

3:36 am

grannymaxx

yep i did...it was great but she prefers spangle

3:37 am

grannymaxx

gotcha haz...learning so many "words" its mind boggling!

3:37 am

Haz1558

Spangle looks good all the time - it takes a bit more effort for me!

3:37 am

grannymaxx

LOL

3:37 am

loredana

3:38 am

3:56 am

Haz1558

Good morning - I was just tackling the obesity problem in the grid.

3:56 am

grannymaxx

cute huh?

3:56 am

herinfernallady

How large ate spaniels meant to be (in weight) also are spaniels paws big? I saw a very old spainel and he was about 35kilo

3:57 am

Haz1558

It pulls no punches (fa4/7, fa5/16, fa7/40, fa6/27, fa6/27)

3:57 am

Atalante

hobbit's about 22lb

3:58 am

grannymaxx

fa7/40??

3:58 am

Haz1558

Another plural for the obese ones, add a vowel.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Thats about half of what the dog weighs

3:59 am

Atalante

I mean 22kg *sigh*

3:59 am

grannymaxx

ty haz

3:59 am

herinfernallady

Thats ok AT and thanks has

4:00 am

Atalante

how heavy is spangle, haz?

4:00 am

Karys

ty Haz

4:00 am

herinfernallady

opps thanks Haz

4:00 am

Haz1558

I have precisely no idea, Atalante.

4:00 am

Atalante

LOL

4:00 am

Haz1558

Dedicated owner, eh?

4:01 am

Atalante

well go weigh her, herin wants to know :P

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Im just curious as i had never seen a spaniel so well round. too cute though

4:01 am

Haz1558

She would give me 'the look'. 'Why should I stand on the scales? Don't you love me as I am?'

4:02 am

Atalante

some spaniels are pretty heavy. Clumbers must weigh a *lot*

4:02 am

Atalante

awwwwww

4:03 am

Atalante

hobbit's back to the vet in an hour to see why she's limping

4:03 am

herinfernallady

oh poor Hobit

4:03 am

Atalante

I know ... poor babe

4:04 am

Haz1558

She's probably sprained something - Spangle specialises in being too enthusiastic for her own good. The circulating pre-walk would do me an injury as well if I tried it.

4:04 am

herinfernallady

What did Hobit do?

4:05 am

Atalante

yes, I think so. but she's been limping for about a month now, so I think its worth getting some x-rays done just to check her back leg / hip

4:05 am

herinfernallady

owww poor puppy

4:06 am

Karys

we had a King Charles that used to jump as high as my shoulder for his pre walk

4:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, if it's been going on that long you need to investigate.

4:06 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Haz for the FA clues

4:06 am

Atalante

she had some painkillers last week and was fine on them. as soon as they stopped, she started limping again *sigh*

4:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - they're not particularly nice words, but hey, they give the points!

4:08 am

Haz1558

I hope she gets sorted out Atalante - and I'd better go get ready to go out. I'll be back later to finish. Bye for now.

4:08 am

Atalante

Cracking toast, Fiber. Looks vaguely familiar, though.

10:22 am

Fiber Art

I have no imagination! I thought of a martini glass--"toast on toast"

10:22 am

Cherrypop

argh-too early for that kind of humor! lol

10:22 am

Fiber Art

Or is that champagne?

10:23 am

10:29 am

Becca Lorum

Hi everyone. CLue for the last ch6 pls?

10:29 am

Fiber Art

there are some mighty useless words every day

10:29 am

ConXshun

it's improved my word search abilities, no end. :)

10:30 am

10:35 am

sherb

sounds worrying carlee...

10:35 am

o-o

the first rule of babble is that enable rules. the second rule of babble is that all other rules are are subject to the whim and caprice of the individual user, and are subject to change without notice.

10:35 am

ConXshun

ty for the da6/7 carlee and sftami

10:36 am

Good morning, (nearly afternoon here) to all. How is everyone: Kat, FMitch, BabbleRabble-rouser, sherb, ConX, kc, Fiber, SgtA... and anyone I missed! Gorgeous here, and the gardens are looking wonderful due to hard work and great sunshine!

10:37 am

sherb

it's one of those Scots-sounding words...

10:37 am

FMitch

Happy day Scarlet!!!

10:37 am

SgtAmi

rework the ha4 that means to dislike intensely

10:37 am

ConXshun

10:38 am

Fiber Art

Hi, Scarlet!

10:38 am

10:38 am

ConXshun

10:38 am

Scarlet

Hi, ursh and hetty!!

10:39 am

Fiber Art

Our weather is great right now, but weeds rule

10:39 am

o-o

Good day, Scarlet. may today bring peace and all things good to you.

10:39 am

ConXshun

that's be nice scarlet! *received wish with smile*

10:39 am

hetty

Hi Scarlet! Top of the morning to you.

10:39 am

SgtAmi

plural that one too hetty

10:39 am

Scarlet

I haven't changed the lime-cat icon since last week... the one in honor of mrP... too busy wrangling with roots and weeds and hardpan shale-packed soil...

10:39 am

Scarlet

And top of the day to you, hetty! :-)

10:40 am

hetty

thanks, sgt. Always get the plurals. I can do the simple things!

10:40 am

Fiber Art

are you redoing garden because of the flood you had?

10:40 am

Fiber Art

(that was for scarlet)

10:41 am

hetty

I've spen ages trying to upload piuctures ino flikr. I need someone who is not cybernetically challenged to show me how.

10:41 am

SgtAmi

the plurals sometimes mess me up if the word can me made two different ways

10:41 am

SgtAmi

down to 3

10:41 am

Fiber Art

I hardly ever SEE the plurals!

10:41 am

hetty

So I'm staying with the present icon for a while yet

10:42 am

Scarlet

*Hugs to ConX.* Thank you, BR-r. The peace always comes from within, but good thoughts are well received. Fiber... We just moved here in Dec. of 2005, and my husband underwent some serious therapy (radiation treatments) for the first half of 2006... so, no gardening. I've been depressed and worried lately, so: voila! Gardening... and bowing to the will of nature instead of a downward spiral in my spirit!

10:42 am

Fiber Art

It's a beautiful icon, hetty, leave it alone

10:42 am

Fiber Art

Good wishes to you, Scarlet, and your husband, and the earth you are shaping

10:43 am

Jellen

Hello, all.

10:43 am

Scarlet

*Wiping a little tear away*... Thank you, Fiber.

10:43 am

ConXshun

o scarlet! my thoughts are with you! nature has such a powerful way of recovering itself and with a little LTC will give you all you need.

10:43 am

Fiber Art

I'm all for garden therapy

10:44 am

kc8501

garden therapy is underrated -- it works

10:44 am

Scarlet

Thank you all... fellow humans with a kindred spirit...

10:44 am

Fiber Art

Hi bookwoman

10:44 am

SgtAmi

I find being outside and working with my hands helps depression

10:44 am

SgtAmi

is your husband doing better?

10:44 am

Fiber Art

You can really get lost just digging up weeds

10:45 am

Fiber Art

Lost in a good way

10:45 am

Jellen

Carlee, how are you? Hanging in there?

10:46 am

Scarlet

Exactly, SgtA... There is the fragrance of earth, little scurrying critters, the beauty of working a postage-stamp piece of the planet and putting in a bit of beauty... kiss the rest to God, and water faithfully... What else does a person need beyond the basics?

10:46 am

hetty

Scarlet, you are a brave and beautiful person. My prayers go gardening with you

10:46 am

Scarlet

I am deeply moved, hetty. Thank you very much.

10:47 am

ConXshun

*hugs scarlet and sends small private rain cloud with on/off switch to help in garden*

10:48 am

Fiber Art

conx, do you have a supply of those clouds with switches??

10:48 am

SgtAmi

fireworks (that is if I were upgradedto get fireworks lol)

10:48 am

hetty

I must tell you abot my dear husband though, who yesterday cleaned up our deck--potted plants and bugeoning seedlings all over--and threw out some seedlings I was carefully nuturing (they weren't showing any signs of greminating yet)

10:48 am

Jellen

Yah, SgtAmi!!!

10:48 am

Fiber Art

get upgraded, sgtAmi! And whopee anyway

10:49 am

ConXshun

*shakes Carlee's pompoms wildly for SgtAmi* YAYYAYYAY

10:49 am

ypsigirl

lots of er and re and plurals today........yikes

10:49 am

Fiber Art

Oh, those husbands. I won't let mine mow. Anything that sticks up from the ground gets leveled

10:49 am

EvaNadine

hiya scarlet -- hope all is going well on your end...

10:50 am

kc8501

can someone please clue the first ha 5? It's killing me

10:50 am

hetty

I had nursed them through their wetting and resting time in the frig so carefully--they were from New Zealand and I so wanted to see them row here, where the climate is so similar. . .

10:50 am

Fiber Art

Hetty, you are making me cry

10:50 am

periwinkle

Hi everyone

10:50 am

hetty

so yes, those husbands it is

10:50 am

Scarlet

That is funny, hetty... husbands have a way of being "helpful" sometimes and sometimes, disaster follows. EvaNadine... just chatted about my gardening "therapy" for the depression, and I am renewed! Thank you for your concern. *hugs*

10:50 am

kc8501

so when is his funeral Hetty?

10:50 am

Fiber Art

Hi, peri

10:51 am

Scarlet

Hi, peri!

10:51 am

Jellen

hi, periwinkle

10:51 am

Scarlet

Oh, hetty... is there any chance of recovery?

10:51 am

hetty

thefirst ha5 is an archaic way of saying "had you?"

10:52 am

hetty

think ha4/5 with an added "d"

10:52 am

periwinkle

speaking of gardening, I just bought a red begonia and yellow mum for containers on my balcony. They do brighten things up :)

10:52 am

stidmama

hello all, just getting in this morning, hetty tell alan he has a black thumb! and Scarlet et al, my garden has probably literally saved my life. Though it never looks as good as I wish in its entirety, it always has "moments of perfection" that make it satisfying.

10:53 am

periwinkle

HI stidmama

10:53 am

stidmama

sounds happy and bright, peri!

10:53 am

silverdust4444

i cant wait- my fiance and i are moving soon to a place where i can have a garden

10:53 am

Fiber Art

I always think the garden will look better next year. I'm usually wrong.

10:53 am

Jellen

Hi silverdust

10:53 am

periwinkle

if they do well, I will buy more flowering plants. I have only grown herbs so far

10:53 am

Jellen

And stidmama

10:53 am

Fiber Art

I'd like to grow herbs, not enough sun

10:54 am

hetty

No Scarlett--every "spare " pot of soil was ruthlessly thrown around to further fee bushes etc. Unless there's a Jack in the Beanstalk sedquence, we'll never see those starry wild flowers from new Zealand --unless we go there again!

10:54 am

Jellen

Ouch!

10:54 am

stidmama

well congratulations on that silverdust! nothing like space for a garden to make one dream and plan (and eventually do)

10:54 am

Fiber Art

Time to schedule a trip to New Zealand, clearly

10:54 am

periwinkle

I have basil and peppermin at the moment

10:54 am

periwinkle

*peppermint*

10:54 am

stidmama

LOL Fiber! hetty only just got home from there!

10:55 am

Fiber Art

Peri, do any herbs grow in the shade?

10:55 am

stidmama

I can never seem to grow basil. Everything else does fine, but basil comes up, leafs out and croaks.

10:55 am

hetty

Yees Fiber--hence the seeds!

10:55 am

periwinkle

not sure Fiber, I will check, brb

10:55 am

Fiber Art

The famous toad basil

10:56 am

silverdust4444

hi book

10:56 am

silverdust4444

sorry, distracted

10:56 am

Scarlet

That is sad beyond words, hetty... perhaps a greater plan at work here... peri, do you know, I cannot find peppermint here... even seeds. I grow a great deal from seeds, and have planted areas with the mammoth sunflowers and the Aztec mid-range ones, surrounded by variegated marigolds and vinca vines.... Hi, stid. My basil is thriving in this heat!

10:56 am

silverdust4444

i have 17 to go!

10:56 am

ConXshun

my basil never grows cos i eat it too quicly....

10:56 am

hetty

Stid knows my history so well. And my husband too. I sometimes wonder whether we should swap (husbands, that is)

10:56 am

Jellen

No problem. Pleased to see you back.

10:56 am

ConXshun

go silver, GO!!! *pompom shake*

10:56 am

Fiber Art

It sounds like a good time for a swap

10:56 am

stidmama

mint will grow in the shade, fiber -- any kind of mint. peppermint, chocolate mint, lemon balm (a type of mint)...

10:56 am

Jellen

Go Silverdust!

10:57 am

hetty

Scarlt, a greater plan is forever at work

10:57 am

ConXshun

what's this ha7 word - the one before the hurry word...

10:57 am

Fiber Art

Thanks, Stid--

10:57 am

stidmama

LOL hetty -- maybe we should send our husbands to live together and you and I can grow our garden in peace!

10:57 am

EvaNadine

i have a rather black thumb myself, but i always wished i were better with plants -- i ADORE looking at others gardens and landscaping...

10:57 am

Jellen

Clue for 6,24?

10:57 am

Scarlet

Can you think of anything more beautiful than fresh mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, a lovely balsamic, virgin olive oil and Dijon vinaigrette with sliced Roma tomatoes...? Oh, My!!

10:57 am

ConXshun

OOOOO MY FAVORITE, Scarlet!!!!! :D

Fiber most herbs require full sun but some will tolerate partial shade like lemon balm

10:58 am

hetty

You can see where my mind is. All this talk of growing new life---

10:58 am

periwinkle

Fiber there are many websites about herbs, it wouldn't hurt to check them out

10:59 am

stidmama

wow. that worked hetty, another word down!

10:59 am

carleekat

back...hey red

10:59 am

periwinkle

sounds scrumptious Scarlet

10:59 am

Fiber Art

I guess I just assumed herbs need sun. I'll look into it.

10:59 am

hetty

Did you get the ha word, bookwoman?

10:59 am

Jellen

yes.

10:59 am

Scarlet

It is from Mount Olympus, peri! :-)

10:59 am

silverdust4444

11:00 am

ConXshun

Hey carlee! did all go well??? *hands back much used pompoms*

11:00 am

hetty

ch6/26 looks as if you can't spell ch5/14, plus a first vowel

11:00 am

carleekat

yea..its not as bd as I feared..thank god

11:00 am

Fiber Art

what is Mohito's?

Jellen

ursh

11:01 am

Fiber Art

Just don't let him near the garden, ursh

11:01 am

ConXshun

thank goodness for that! Sometimes our worry about the kids is more worrying than the worry itself...

11:01 am

carleekat

childrens aid definitely involved...no police needed

11:01 am

ConXshun

bye ursh - go save that kitchen!

11:01 am

Scarlet

Hi, kat. What is wrong?

11:01 am

hetty

Are you ch**** or have you been?

11:01 am

EvaNadine

CH6 = take word for playing a game unfairly -- swap the middle vowels around + add another vowel on the end

11:01 am

stidmama

I can tell I missed something important this morning....

11:01 am

doxy1lover

what happened carlee

11:01 am

carleekat

my daughter did guide ( same as girl scouts ) camp this weekend

11:02 am

carleekat

and she was put into a tent with a set of siblings

11:02 am

Mary

A Mohito is the "new" drink made with rum, club soda, a syrup and mint leaves - it's awesome. Could use one right now.

11:02 am

Jellen

ty.

11:02 am

Fiber Art

Yum--11 am, too early

11:02 am

hetty

Well, 50 yet to go and eucharist to attend. I'm off everyone--as stid says, "poof"

11:02 am

11:02 am

EvaNadine

11:03 am

ConXshun

11:03 am

EvaNadine

FA6 = not mother

11:03 am

Scarlet

Was there an episode, kat?

11:03 am

Mary

Could be, but I just discovered them last year in Santa Fe, NM. Now they're serving them here in Chicago.

11:03 am

carleekat

the younger ( this the first part ) during the night in a fit of tears and carrying on..asked my daughter to hang her

11:04 am

EvaNadine

whoa -- how old is this girl??

11:04 am

stidmama

oh man....

11:04 am

sprite

good evening all

11:04 am

carleekat

now..my daughter took this as the kid was not serious... but when we put it all together with previous patterns...the pattern got....worse...

11:04 am

carleekat

( the younger is 8 my daughter is 10 the older sibling is 11 )

11:04 am

ConXshun

oh jeez carlee, is your daughter ok?

11:04 am

stidmama

hey sprite.... you're on late!

11:04 am

doxy1lover

very scary carlee

11:05 am

stidmama

those poor kids.

11:05 am

kc8501

thanks eva. Can't believe I missed that

11:05 am

carleekat

so... the younger...has issues with authority

11:05 am

periwinkle

last ch5/14 please

11:05 am

Mary

Wow, carlee, how sad. Way too young for those kind of problems

11:05 am

silverdust4444

wow carlee that's a lot to deal with

11:06 am

carleekat

and she is her own worst enemy in that she is cuaght up in the whole self prophetized doom... "everyone hates me"

11:06 am

EvaNadine

peri -- im not done yet, but the lost one i have is to play a game unfairly

11:06 am

carleekat

so....

11:06 am

Fiber Art

8 years old. What a pity

11:06 am

carleekat

then was speaking to one of the other leaders ( and I am beating myself up as I am a leader..i just HATE camp..had I been there...she would have come to me )

11:06 am

periwinkle

thanks EvaN, have that one

11:07 am

kc8501

peri... lets see... ch + 2nd vowel then immediately above and left

11:07 am

doxy1lover

don't beat yourself up carlee, you can only do so much

11:07 am

Scarlet

This is a horrible situation, kat...

11:07 am

ConXshun

no blame on you carlee!!!!

11:07 am

kc8501

it's kinda hard to clue

11:07 am

carleekat

anyway..was speaking to another leader this am... and ( for those who do not wish to be offended.my language is goign to graphic..am quoting the 8 year old )

11:07 am

Fiber Art

we can handle it

11:07 am

EvaNadine

CH5 = CH + vowel + hook + cross

11:08 am

stidmama

*deep breath* okay...

11:08 am

Scarlet

And...

11:08 am

periwinkle

nd it

11:08 am

ConXshun

*holds hands over ears*

11:08 am

carleekat

this other daughter told her mom that the younger was dancing around the tent naked.. and told my daughter that she was going to shove my daughter head up her vagina

11:08 am

carleekat

turns out..was NOt to my daughter...was to the older sister

11:08 am

Jellen

last ch6/24 ?

11:08 am

Fiber Art

this is at a camp where they are supposed to have fun?

11:08 am

Scarlet

There is some serious "stuff" going on in that family

11:08 am

ConXshun

oh NO!!!!

11:09 am

stidmama

oh carlee.... very ungood

11:09 am

silverdust4444

oh dear

11:09 am

Fiber Art

I'm so sorry, carlee

11:09 am

carleekat

hence... I do not need to call the police..as she did not touch my daughter..did not threaten my daughter directly and did not assult her in anyway

11:09 am

EvaNadine

yes, there is definitely something wrong with that child.

11:09 am

doxy1lover

sounds like you did the right thing this morning

11:09 am

Scarlet

Children are taught sexuality at that age... this is not stemming from the child... she sounds broken...

11:09 am

Fiber Art

But she definitely needs help

11:09 am

carleekat

thanks..it sok....when I went to lunch I was expecting that this kid did do this to my daughter...and that I would be calling the police

11:10 am

silverdust4444

book- plural of to play a game unfairly

11:10 am

carleekat

so am feeling a great deal of initial relief

11:10 am

kc8501

help with the first ch 6/24??

11:10 am

Jellen

ty.

11:10 am

stidmama

yes, the child needs serious help, now. That is just too bizarre.

11:10 am

carleekat

now..we need to deal with the other rot

11:10 am

doxy1lover

I am so sorry that your daughter had to deal with that this weekend.

11:10 am

Scarlet

Oh, kat...your poor daughter. *Strong hugs and hand-butterfly kisses*

11:10 am

ConXshun

Still a shock for your daughter to be confronted with this kind of stuff! Lots of LTC for her - and you Carlee!

11:10 am

carleekat

thanks all

11:11 am

EvaNadine

KC -- take the word for playing a game unfairly, swap the center vowels around + add a vowel to the end

11:11 am

carleekat

yea....I will pull her from school one afternoon this week and we will amke jam for her dad or something

11:11 am

sprite

*hugs* for you and all my best to your daughter... not an easy thing at all

11:11 am

silverdust4444

to play a game unfairly- switch middle vowels, + 1st vowel

11:11 am

stidmama

Your poor girl, though, to be exposed. I am glad she was able to go to you with what happened. It shows she trusts you and knows you love her.

11:11 am

kc8501

go silver gooo

11:22 am

sprite

hi stid

11:22 am

Scarlet

Hi, sprite! How are you feeling?

11:23 am

stidmama

I got past halfway at the flip, then grabbed the list as soon as I got in this morning. down below 40... a good grid for today.

11:23 am

sprite

not too good actually... friend of mine all but dragged me to the doctor this morning because she saw how bad it went, and now I need to take antidepression medication, or whatever it is called... therapist was very happy with it. Guess I better give it a shot then ;)

11:23 am

Atalante

hi again all

11:24 am

sprite

hi Ata

11:24 am

Scarlet

Hi, Atalante!! :-) How was your U.S.A. vacation?

11:24 am

Takuma Sato

Hi guys.

11:24 am

stidmama

hey atalante!

11:24 am

sprite

hi Takumo

11:24 am

Scarlet

Anything is worth a try, sprite... especially when we are dragged into stasis... I feel for you. *Hugs*

11:25 am

Atalante

great in some ways, not so great in others, but that's life. there are loads of pic on my flickr account a page or two back

11:25 am

stidmama

oh sprite, so glad your friend did that! yes, DO give the medication a try, remember it can take about 4 weeks for some of them to really start working, so stick with it at least a month.

11:25 am

sprite

yeah, I was kind of glad my friend took control for a moment. I was so totally stuck I couldn't even think about any solutions anymore

11:25 am

stidmama

I found that a quick diary each day helped me see the progress I was making...

11:26 am

stidmama

hey takuma!

11:26 am

Atalante

antideps can be the best things ever. what did they give you?

11:26 am

Takuma Sato

they've worked very well for me!

11:26 am

sprite

I was warned that at first the side effects would be much more noticeable than the good effects, and that it will take several weeks to get to a high enough level

11:27 am

Scarlet

Sometimes we have to allow ourselves to really listen to the wisdom of others... I sincerely hope the meds do a good job for you, sprite.

11:27 am

sprite

something new... let me see, not xeroxat or prozac anyway... si-something-paran

11:27 am

sprite

I'll check the name, hold on

11:27 am

stidmama

yes, be patient with yourself for a few weeks (though I know that can be hard). Sprite, i have been there, too. Some days, I am still there... but it does get better.

11:28 am

Scarlet

Hi, Takuma!

11:28 am

sprite

it is citolapran

11:29 am

sprite

thanks for the support, guys, I d*mn sure need it atm :)

11:29 am

stidmama

around here, it's called by the brand name "celexa"

11:29 am

Atalante

oh celexa

11:30 am

Scarlet

Sprite, not all meds work for all people... your therapist may "shop" different medications for you until you hit the right one for your metabolism... don't be afraid to try things after you've given one a good trial run...

11:30 am

stidmama

I have tried and had good results with others from that class. I hope it works well for you, too (for me the side effects were few besides drowsiness which wore off quickly)

11:30 am

Takuma Sato

Howdy! And now that I've made my greetings, it's time for me to get going for a bit. good luck, all!

11:30 am

sprite

doc said it worked better for most patients than xeroxat and prozac, was milder and had less side effects

11:30 am

stidmama

later takuma, hope your day will be good!

11:30 am

sprite

bye Takuma

11:30 am

Atalante

I've heard good things about it too

11:31 am

Scarlet

Have a wonderful day, Takuma! :-)

11:31 am

sprite

and I guess I could do with a bit drowsiness, if that helps me take things easier and slower for a bit... doc and therapist said today I am literally exhausted.

11:31 am

stidmama

brb bread's ready for the oven!

11:31 am

Atalante

seroxat isn't worth taking, I don't think, unless somehow you know you'll be the lucky one which it works wonderfully for

11:31 am

magzel

need one of the first ch 6/24 please, have the pure one

11:32 am

sprite

Somehow I have trouble feeling that myself... I always feel like if I really want to, I can do whatever has to be done. Not counting the costs, probably, to my health and energy... ah well, what do I know.

11:33 am

KnightTime

magzel - ch6.23 - sounds like a wild cat - change one of the vowels

11:33 am

sprite

any mail yet, Ata?

11:33 am

Scarlet

Hi, KnightTime!!

11:33 am

stidmama

hi knight and magzel.

11:33 am

KnightTime

hello all

11:33 am

Scarlet

Hi, magzel!

11:33 am

Atalante

sprite - could you manage to get rid of cancer if you really wanted to? pneumonia? kidney failure? then why depression?

11:33 am

Atalante

nooooooo

11:34 am

magzel

hi scarlet

11:34 am

Scarlet

Well said, Ata.

11:34 am

magzel

hi stid and thanks knight, odd word

11:34 am

sprite

argh, stupid snailmail.... Yeah, I know you are right, it is just that... guess I am too used to just push myself and proof I am worth something

11:34 am

stidmama

sprite, that is how I am... but I have learned to not push myself too far trying to get things done (hence my lackadaisical attitude toward housekeeping) -- I have some physical problems too, and when I overdo it physically or emotionally it makes my whole system shut down.

11:35 am

sprite

I can really relate to that, stid! That shutting down perfectly describes it.

11:35 am

Atalante

same with me ... I've had to go through all of this. trying to accept one has bipolar and will be on mood stabilisers, antideps adn goodness knows what for ever more is hard work. but its just chemicals. like any other illness

11:36 am

stidmama

and yes, no amount of hoping or denying helped... but a good diet, getting outside in my garden, and finding babble have really helped; and the medications got me to where I could do the other things that supported my health -- remember this is a chemical thing like hypothyroidism.

11:37 am

sprite

that's what my doc says... way too little serotonin makes that every decision I have to make takes tonnes of energy. Even picking what to eat for dinner or what to wear or even whether or not to get up in the morning.

11:37 am

sprite

thanks for sharing that, guys... that helps too.

11:37 am

Atalante

exactly

11:38 am

stidmama

{{{{{sprite}}}}} you are going to be okay. and we are here if you need us!

11:38 am

Scarlet

The inertia can be staggering, Sprite.... give the meds some time, and maybe you'll recognize the old "lady" who lives within... Here's hoping and praying that that is the case! *hugs*

11:38 am

sprite

:D
Thanks! Your support means so much to me and really helps me stay grounded, if you know what I mean.

11:39 am

stidmama

I have hit the magic "25" to go point!

11:39 am

Scarlet

Yes!

11:39 am

Atalante

yes, just try and wait out the next few weeks. you'll feel like its not working for a while, I'm sure. Just stick in there

11:39 am

sprite

ah, that would be SO great!

11:39 am

Scarlet

:-)

11:39 am

sprite

yay stid, wtg

11:39 am

stidmama

yes, sprite. grounded. with rich, loamy soil, ready to plant, ready for the dormant beauty within to shine forth. :-)

11:40 am

sprite

might even do something in my garden in a while then :)

11:40 am

Scarlet

Gardening has worked magic on my eroded soul these past few weeks...

11:41 am

Atalante

oh here's a good example of how these things can work. I started taking lithium about 4 years ago. About 3 weeks later, I had such a strong urge to draw (for the first time since high school). and the rest is history. Meds can allow you to return.

11:41 am

stidmama

personally, I highly recommend gardening for all sorts of things. Unless your sinuses are stuffy like mine are today... then bending and stooping is just agony. :-(

11:41 am

stidmama

Atalante! that is a WAY COOL, wonderful thing!

11:41 am

sprite

ow WOW Ata, that is a wonderful example

11:41 am

sprite

bending and stooping is out of the question, but I could take a stool...

11:41 am

Atalante

thought you'd like that :)

11:42 am

stidmama

on the other hand, the medications did nothing about the "mommy body" I had acquired... LOL

11:42 am

Atalante

but they do give you more energy to go for a walk, go for a swim ...

11:42 am

Haz1558

Sprite - I'm coming in on the tail end of the conversation but for my contribution, please take the meddication if it is offered. It may not have to be forever, it may be that a short course is all that is needed to make you see the world in colour again. I, too, speak from personal experience.

11:43 am

Atalante

question - is there anyone here who *hasn't* been on antidepressants / similar things at one time?

11:43 am

stidmama

yes, they do. And a stool for gardening is a great idea. Also planters... I have a number of things in pots and when my back is really bad Tom put them up on chairs so I can work.

11:43 am

sprite

ah, I can live with my mommy body, my husband thinks I am the sexiest thing that walked (or stamped) the earth and I like everything except my too big belly. Only if I had some energy... I love to hear you say the meds might give me some back.

11:43 am

Scarlet

Hello, Haz... it seems that many of us have had to admit our powerlessness and accept some hard realities...

11:44 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet - yes, I fought against it for some time, but a short course of medication made me see reality again.

11:44 am

sprite

you guys are the best, plain and simple. Thanks for being there, sharing and reaching out. I mean that.
Hubby calls for dinner, have to be off now, back later.

11:44 am

magzel

fa 7/40 please

11:44 am

stidmama

your energy will definitely return, sprite :-) you will find that you enjoy many things again that you had put aside, and it will be nice

ch 6/24: reverse the vowels in to win by subterfuge, and add a vowel at the end, Gwen

1:53 pm

that is an odd one, Gwen. To deceive at a game, switch vowels, add a vowel to the end. Sounds a bit like a hunting cat.

1:53 pm

Takuma Sato

off for a bit. good luck, all!

1:53 pm

Vicuna

ch6/24 - what we do in this boc, with a vowel added before and another after that -t-

2:32 pm

elder

Sprite thanks for you words of support - good to hear I am not the only one

2:33 pm

stidmama

Edinburgh is shown with high definition amazing

2:33 pm

elder

Yeh right STidmama !!

2:33 pm

Jellen

ty

2:33 pm

Takuma Sato

and oddly, I tried 'catheter,' even after assuring myself it wasn't there

2:33 pm

sprite

no stid, a 'meer' is a lake, and Haarlemmermeer is a province that used to be water, near Haarlem, and now is land.

2:33 pm

elder

Takuma yes as with you, i can confirm it does not work !!

2:34 pm

stidmama

oh! that makes good sense. thanks sprite.

2:34 pm

Atalante

I tried that one too

2:34 pm

Jellen

worse is definitely a phantom.

2:34 pm

sprite

I have lived there most of my youth, stid :) In Hoofddorp, to be precise.

2:35 pm

sprite

and ether. I tried ether several times.

2:35 pm

Takuma Sato

with all these 'S's, 'R's, and 'T's, this is a phantom playground

2:35 pm

Jellen

Spooky!

In view of the courageous , I bring out the old stand bys: Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~ Plato Better to leit one small candle than to curse the darkness. ~ Chineses Proverb

2:36 pm

2:37 pm

YAY stid! That is where I grew up

2:37 pm

Takuma Sato

I was just curious -- I've done some work on Plato. I'll take a look

2:38 pm

stidmama

methinks it may have grown up a bit since then sprite? I looks like any U.S. suburb!

2:38 pm

stidmama

but there are lots of lovely green fields nearby... :-)

2:39 pm

sprite

it goes the same way all dutch places go, stid... growing until they connect to another place, making one huge town. It used to be more green :)

2:40 pm

stidmama

and Edinburgh is just plain HUGE! wow.

2:40 pm

Takuma Sato

that's just what's happening to D.C. and Baltimore, sprite

2:40 pm

FMitch

Same story all over unfortunately sprite

2:40 pm

stidmama

yes, so it is in the United States also sprite. It makes me sad. All the lovely, fertile fields buried beneath things meant to last no more than a couple decades

2:40 pm

Takuma Sato

which is a bit sad -- used to be lots of forests I liked there

2:40 pm

Jellen

Copied the Plato into my quote collection, BR.

2:40 pm

sprite

2:41 pm

Shoelacelady

we are losing all our lovely big victorian and edwardian houses round here. They are putting up these great big flats-apartments, lost forever

2:41 pm

stidmama

that is why we have the garden, sprite. In my own subversive way, I am trying to make things more green and diverse...

2:42 pm

sprite

I like that thought, stid!

2:42 pm

Takuma Sato

sneaky, stid ;)

2:42 pm

stidmama

:-)

2:43 pm

Sbustobante

too sneaky!

2:44 pm

stidmama

I am watching a garden show... they showcase gardens from all over the world. This one is in the bahamas... *sigh* it'll take a lot more global warming for those plants to grow here!

2:44 pm

Takuma Sato

a guy just walked by with a shirt that said "I hear voices... they sound just like you," and he looked genuinely deranged

2:44 pm

stidmama

what fish do you want next, bookwoman?

2:44 pm

5:19 pm

Jellen

I don't know what utb is.

5:19 pm

hurshy

the reason the puzzle is fun is because you are challenging yourself. if it is SO much of a challenge that you cannot do it and want people to help you with every word, then you would not find it very satisfying. you would just be bored and passing the time, whilst annoying other people. regardless of age.

5:19 pm

i don't know either bookwoman, but i think i can guess...lol

I've been giving this a shot about 3-4 times a week, and I just cant seem to break about 50%

6:35 pm

hurshy

two more H's - i presume HA and not anything bizarro?

6:36 pm

KnightTime

ha and he

6:36 pm

hurshy

be patient. and persistent.

6:36 pm

KnightTime

treefrog, do you have a strategy?

6:36 pm

wrathofcon

i feel good when i get 50%

6:37 pm

hurshy

and why the tree? aren't you proud to be one of the frogs in the glen?

6:37 pm

Treefrog

no, I just typically jump from letter to letter until I get frustrated

6:37 pm

Treefrog

I like treefrogs, the look wise to me

6:37 pm

KnightTime

you need a strategy - it keeps you on track when the words don't jump out.

6:37 pm

hurshy

*bagpipes in the background*

6:38 pm

KnightTime

wrath, i feel bad if I don't get 100% everytime

6:38 pm

Treefrog

I don't have the mindset to pound away at a letter till I get every word associated with it

6:38 pm

Treefrog

find that too ... stressful

6:38 pm

KnightTime

that is one approach, but there are other ways to solve

6:39 pm

hurshy

babble is... babble is... not stressful but... love is a battlefield... hurts so good... that sorta thing.

6:39 pm

KnightTime

use the lickety clues, and the math, i.e. let the point score be your guide especially for the 4 and 5 letter words

6:39 pm

wrathofcon

I only have a few hours to throw away so i never finish un less it is a reall small one

6:39 pm

Sudokuaddict

go hurshy the poetry is flowing

6:40 pm

hurshy

lol - but not original.

6:40 pm

Treefrog

how do you mean "point score" be my guide?

6:40 pm

aknitter

sa 5/14 please

6:40 pm

jesdraggon

hey knight... can you explain to me how the points work? because it's obviously not just straight addition for things longer than 5 letters... otherwise the ch6/24 would be a ch6/8

6:40 pm

KnightTime

sa5.14 = blue + male pronoun

6:41 pm

hurshy

4's straight off tiles, 5's double, 6's triple, etc etc

6:41 pm

aknitter

why ty kindly knight

6:41 pm

KnightTime

add the letter values then multiply. 4x1, 5x2, 6x3, 7x4...

6:42 pm

jesdraggon

ah, that makes sense. thank you.

6:42 pm

KnightTime

so for example tree and jes, the ac4.5 tells you that the last 2 letters must be 1 point letters

6:43 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, i just couldn't figure out why the longer words added up so fast :) i didn't know about the multiplying bit.

6:43 pm

KnightTime

the ca4.6 must have 2 2 point letters, the ca4.9 must include a 4 or 5 point letter, etc

6:44 pm

Treefrog

ahh

6:44 pm

KnightTime

then look at the letters available and do the math

6:44 pm

KnightTime

this eases the frustration and moves it from pounding the keys to thinking about the letters, much more fulfilling

6:45 pm

aknitter

looks like babble is reeling in another addict

6:45 pm

KnightTime

that's what i meant by a strategy treefrog

6:45 pm

Treefrog

I used to play text twist on yahoo all the time, but this is much more ... in depth :)

6:46 pm

Sudokuaddict

okay down to ten all 4's and 5's clue for ta4/5? before the job one?

6:46 pm

KnightTime

ta + abbrev for 60 minutes

6:47 pm

hurshy

argh what is the other ch6/24 with pure

6:48 pm

jesdraggon

ah, but treefrog, the friendly folks here are what makes this so much better than text twist... even if you don't stress about finishing the grid, hang out and ch4/4 with people :)

6:48 pm

KnightTime

rhymes with a big cat hurshy - change one of the vowels

6:49 pm

jesdraggon

hurshy, do you have the ch6/24 that means "creative interpretation of the rules"?

6:49 pm

Treefrog

I'm usually lurking about

6:49 pm

Treefrog

I just cant devote too much of my work day to finishing :)

6:50 pm

jesdraggon

harpjane

nope brand new, i suspect it's the season cliff hanger

10:05 pm

ADHDWordLover

i've got 88 to go and i just got here only a little bit ago... it's a really easy grid

10:05 pm

autumn moon

JUL - did you use Lickety's list?

10:05 pm

JUL

What's Lickety's list?

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

pretty good ADHD -- no big drama in my life lately, though I had a really odd occurence this weekend

10:05 pm

ADHDWordLover

oh boy...it just got over here, but thank goodness it's recorded whew

10:05 pm

autumn moon

scroll down a bit and you will see the friends of babble

10:06 pm

autumn moon

Open Lickety's in a separate window (it's easier)

10:06 pm

souperman2

fa 7 hints?

10:06 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx for answering autumn. click on Angelsong's babble page. you'll learn all about this game

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Kirsten's stepdad is not doing well healthwise, so it was agreed by the family that I could borrow his Ford Explorer on an extended loan once Kirsten's mom got all the paperwork taken care of (just getting me added to their insurance)

10:07 pm

ADHDWordLover

you're not using babble expert autumn?

10:07 pm

autumn moon

not using what?

10:08 pm

NancyR.

140 without using the list?? I'm impressed!

10:08 pm

ADHDWordLover

are you using a PC or a mac

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, on Sat we drove over to drop the kids off with Gramma while we went to the movies (we saw Shrek the 3rd)

10:08 pm

ADHDWordLover

sorry to hear that woulf

10:08 pm

autumn moon

pc

10:08 pm

ADHDWordLover

lucky you woulf... i love shrek

10:08 pm

harpjane

fa7 is plural of fa5/16, what an obese kid might get called

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

When we got there, she told us that the paperwork was all resolved and that we could arrange to take the truck whenever we could arrange it

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

the fates decided we need to take the truck then and there -- MY car

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

oops

10:09 pm

ADHDWordLover

then email lickety moon... he'll send you the link f or the new babble browser... the list runs in the same window (if you want it to) and there are all sorts of fun additions. it's great

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

MY car's starter died in the driveway, we had to take the truck so we could go to the movies!!!

10:09 pm

souperman2

thx

10:10 pm

ADHDWordLover

good clue jane... that was me in high school...lol

10:10 pm

autumn moon

Do I have to do anything to the computer? It isn't mine and I have STRICT instructions not to add or download anything

10:10 pm

ADHDWordLover

i'm going to be buying a new truck... with a crew cab to hold the kids lol

10:11 pm

JUL

Thanks for the hint. I'll try it!

10:11 pm

ADHDWordLover

you have to download the babble expert and save it to the desktop. then just click on it to open it and play. close it when you're done. simple.

10:12 pm

autumn moon

buying at truck? Look at the GMC Canyon or Checv Colorado with the 5 cyl engine. Mine is great. Fuel consumption is almost as efficient as my 4cyl Hyundai was

10:12 pm

ADHDWordLover

whoa... i'd better get moving... i'm getting sleeeeepy, verrrrry verrrry sleeeeepy.

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

I wish I could afford to buy a new anything -- I was looking forward to having the two vehicles, but I guess I am destined to have only one at a time -- the last time I had two cars, one of them cost me over a grand in repairs and then still died within two months of my getting it

10:12 pm

ADHDWordLover

i'm very interested in the Colorado w/the z71 package

10:12 pm

ADHDWordLover

do you have the chevy?

10:13 pm

autumn moon

i have the 2005 canyon. They're basically the same

10:13 pm

ADHDWordLover

the silverado is too big. we've go a 1995 silverado and it's not THAT big

10:14 pm

ADHDWordLover

the 2007 will come down in price in august... i want it then. i checked them out about a month ago. i really like the colorado.

10:14 pm

autumn moon

I have the extend cab - flip open side doors - instead of the crew cab. The only breathing thing that goes into the back is the furry child

10:14 pm

autumn moon

Is your Siverado a 6 cyl or 8 cyl

10:14 pm

ADHDWordLover

that sad woulf. my hubby bought his chevy from my son (who only put 34K miles on it) it's got almost 200K miles now and still going. we just put a new clutch in it.

10:15 pm

ADHDWordLover

i've got grown kids and 5 grandkids. my kids left at home are the furry kind. lol

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

the Explorer is in great shape at least -- it is a 97 and only has 68000 miles on it

10:15 pm

harpjane

does the very last fa6 build off the others?

10:16 pm

ADHDWordLover

wow... that's great!! i was looking to get one, but the silverado won't last much longer with his commute (an hour a day back roads), and I can't drive it anymore... bad joints

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

the best part is that the car seats fit perfectly and I still have the room I need to carry stuff -- the Saturn is the most family unfriendly car I have ever encountered

10:17 pm

ADHDWordLover

he really wants a truck, so i'll drive it during the week (i don't work and put only 5K miles/year) and he'll have it when he wants a truck

10:17 pm

ADHDWordLover

i had to sell my saturn. which one did u have?

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

the backseat was not designed with carseats in mind and the trunk doesn't have the right shape to fit anything unless you can drop the seats

10:17 pm

ADHDWordLover

it stunk for kids. i had an SL2

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

It is a 95 SL1

10:18 pm

ADHDWordLover

i had a 96. i got 45 miles to the gal. on the highway. i MISS that

10:18 pm

ADHDWordLover

but u r so right... it stinks for car and booster seats

10:19 pm

ADHDWordLover

it was soooo easy to buy tho.

10:19 pm

autumn moon

*diving back into grid in hopes I might finish before bedtime*

10:19 pm

ADHDWordLover

me too... got 88 left to find. here i goooo

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

The wildest part about the Saturn giving up the ghost is that the insurance expires in two weeks and the registration expires two weeks after that so the timing couldn't have been better

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

I'll join you in the grid -- still have 62 at this point -- I only just opened Lickety's list

10:20 pm

ADHDWordLover

that's good. i ended up selling mine after i injured my ankle and couldn't drive a stick shift for 2 years.

10:20 pm

ADHDWordLover

okay then let's don our diving gear and jump in!!!

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

I have a friend who may be interested in buying the Saturn so I will have to give him a call

10:21 pm

jbp

any help on the T 2nd row from the bottom?

10:21 pm

jbp

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

10:21 pm

ADHDWordLover

10:22 pm

jbp

and long may it drive

10:23 pm

jbp

how about the R next to the 2 in the middle of the 2nd from bottom row?

10:23 pm

harpjane

the last fa6?

10:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

i'm going nuts trying to fine a stupid er4 (the middle one) i have no trouble with the big words... but the derned little ones are so elusive some times

10:24 pm

jbp

i only have dad and the pudgier one of the FA 6's

10:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

more hefty (bulky body) jane

10:24 pm

autumn moon

adhd - check the comparison (by the way, it's canadian funds and kilometres and litres) http://automotive.mytelus.com/automoti
ve/tools/compare/compare.spy?CLS=Picku
p&ID1=1072200106&Y2=2007&M2=Chevrolet&
ID2=1071201510

10:24 pm

jbp

for that middle E... to make mistakes?

10:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

10:24 pm

jbp

jbp

to er** is human?

10:25 pm

ADHDWordLover

10:25 pm

NancyR.

to er.. are human you mean

10:25 pm

jbp

and homonym of to make money

10:25 pm

jbp

yeah, silly tense endings...

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

jbp -- three of the T's are te4 -- homophone of to tu** around, te5 plural, then te4 - t + icky reaction + s

10:26 pm

NancyR.

I have 85 left and doubt I'll make it :(

10:27 pm

ADHDWordLover

i cannot copy that address in it's entirety moon. would you email me the link? word.lover@sbcglobal.net

10:27 pm

jbp

that's 3 of 4, thanks Grey

10:27 pm

jbp

oh, and to not be talkative is also a T off that one

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

I would help with the 4th but can't figure out which one it is

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

there you go!

10:28 pm

Minveryork
