hi jilli *hug*
lol, I had the stupidest last night in the profile, just saw it in time: the one that 'springs' to mind, in stead of jumps... Dutch for jump is spring, grin.
1:28 am
jillibus
things do spring to mind!
1:29 am
sprite
do they? Really? Ok! (feels less stupid now)
1:29 am
nDanLia
I'd use springs to mind way before jumps to mind
1:30 am
nDanLia
[would say jumps out..., but still less oftem]
1:30 am

lol... so I should change it back, even? Thanks, both of you, I keep learning thanks to you.

sprite, you are FAR from stupid, stupid!

wtg nDan! Congrats!
2:08 am
sandyloo
They were raised without phone, electricity or cars, it was too remote where they lived
2:09 am

not easy, but lots of time for eachother, I think, sandy. And for the important things in life.
2:12 am
nDanLia
often think about the things we've lost in modern life, yes we have many things better, but not all [mom only went to about equiv of 5th grade & went shoeless to school, and though houses/barns had lights, still outhouse in the '70s at granny's]
2:14 am
sandyloo
My favourite improvement is dishwashers and washing machines
2:14 am
sprite
I agree. Many things are really better, and much easier now, but other things have gone lost. Life is fast nowadays, and it isn't easy to create some peace and quiet in family life. We try, though.
2:14 am
sandyloo
that's not correct english i realise
2:14 am
sprite
but you still make yourself very clear, sandy :) And I agree.
2:15 am
sprite
washing machines even more important than dishwashing.
2:16 am
sandyloo
We have a lovely dam at the back of our property and we often have luncheons down there with friends and family and I think it is such a serene place
2:16 am
sprite
I still read with my kids every morning, we read english books now, and we will sit on the couch, with me in the middle. It is fun, cosy and a great form of sharing. And old fashioned and ridiculous, as I was told recently... I think I like being oldfashioned and ridiculous then ;)
2:16 am
sandyloo
Fresh air and countryside
2:16 am
sprite
lovely, sandy. Sounds so pleasant.
2:17 am
sandyloo
Sprite - whoever said "ridiculous" must be missing half their life
2:18 am
sprite
yup, I guess so, sandy. Was the same one who claims our kids are scared of us, so we don't really value her opinion much :)
2:18 am

I'm off to bed, goodnight all, be back in the morning

nite flosey
2:19 am
sprite
as long as the kids and I all love it, I think it is the best we can do. Also evenings without television, with games or chat or just lots of cuddles. Winter evenings without electric light, just candles. It is so good, at least we think so.
2:19 am

you are living close to nature as it is, sandy! Much more than we do, in Holland.
2:21 am
sandyloo
Sprite, we were not allowed tv during the week and used to play games etc. it was great!
2:21 am
sandyloo
Where we live is only 17mins from the CBD but it is like being in the middle of the country
2:22 am
sprite
I bet, sandy! It is so nice to really spend some time together, being in contact. Watching TV etc is fun, but it is rather solitary. At least, that is how I feel.
2:22 am

Carleekat.. haunted house... good thinking that will keep them in doors for months to come, terrified to go out, thus the neighbour hood is quiet.
4:03 am
carleekat
( we like planning events that are outside the box...)
4:03 am
carleekat
elder..the haunted house for aged 12-15 girls..i have 2 groups this year... double the fun...and 10 fold the number of camps I have to attend
4:04 am
sprite
or maybe just a creepy place where you read them a good ghost story, carlee?
4:04 am
carleekat
well..not 10 fold....but u get my drift
4:05 am
carleekat
no..haunted building
4:06 am
sprite
I mean for bridging the gap at 3 am. Keeping them blindfolded, lol.
4:06 am
elder
Carleekat.. I would be out of the box... having to entertain, plan and have that many children around me.. you are either a saint or a masochist.:)
4:06 am
carleekat
nah....those age groups are a riot...
4:07 am
carleekat
the planning is fun too...
4:07 am
sprite
and what exactly is again fun about a riot??
4:08 am
carleekat
u get to act just as immature as they are....and they think its is fun.... its a great way to stay young
4:08 am
elder
Carleekat.. i can see the fun in that.
4:08 am

4:14 am

and don't forget some words can be compounds.
4:14 am

4:14 am

ooh... good one mama
4:14 am

LoriP .. good to see Densa is kicking in again:)

4:15 am
sprite
I am afraid BabbleRabble does not qualify at all for DENSA
4:15 am
Haz1558
I think this is a very balanced grid. Words for rising, words for spinning and a word for staying still.
4:18 am
LoriP
Ahh, there are 7 words from that e. Who knew? Babble's a stoopid game anyways....
4:18 am
sprite

shoot - dilemma here - I can go to the list now, and catch and pass asg... or keep plodding along listless and then have to listen to her crow... what to do, what to do
9:00 am
Anniebrook
quite a dilemma, no help here
9:00 am
AsGreen
how much time do you have today? I have to leave in 15 mins
9:01 am
kje
it is a lazy day for me asg... should run some errands, but feel like being lazy after the last 28 days of having to work
9:01 am
kje
but.... that will NOT keep you from gloating, now will it? : )
9:02 am
AsGreen
It's hard to gloat when I'm using the list...
9:02 am
kje
favorite word so far - gi5
9:02 am
kje
doubtful asg....
9:02 am
AsGreen
don't have it yet - lol
9:03 am
AsGreen
hard, but doable - lol
9:03 am
kje
gi5 - kinda like a dohicky
9:03 am
kje
or a whatchamacallit
9:03 am
kje
or a thongamajig
9:04 am
AsGreen
got the clue, not the word
9:04 am
kje
(trying to think of others)
9:04 am
kje
thingamajig - not thongamajig
9:04 am
Pinikula
I got it!!!!
9:04 am
kje
now thinking about what a thongamajig could be - funny image
9:05 am
AsGreen
got it too
9:05 am
AsGreen
30 to go....
9:05 am
Haz1558
Thongammajig - when you've got ants in your pants?
9:05 am
Judi
That would be the toe separator on the flip-flop, Kje.
9:06 am
kje
asg - I am cracking myself up... I am so giddy from not having to go into work that it is as if I have had a bottle of vodka alone
9:06 am
Anniebrook
Hi Haz, welcome back from lunch
9:06 am
Haz1558
Hello again!
9:06 am
kje
wow, haz has been trademarked
9:07 am
AsGreen
OK, on that note (kje getting drunk off the grid), I'm off - tennis, school play meeting, girl scout hike, yada yada - bbl!
9:07 am

Uh oh. Babble butt strikes again.
9:15 am
Haz1558
You as well, Judi?
9:15 am
Judi
No. I'm staying. Babble butt be damned.
9:15 am
Haz1558
That's what we like to hear - you've built up a good tolerance level.
9:17 am
Judi
Calussed buttocks. Another by-product of our addiction.
9:17 am
jean1953
good afternoon everybody:)
9:18 am
Haz1558
If only Lori were here to say Hi Jean!
9:18 am
jean1953
lol she will be gutted Haz lol
9:18 am
Haz1558
I've done it for her just so you don't feel neglected.
9:19 am
jean1953
thank you Haz that is most kind:)
9:19 am
Haz1558
How are you these days? Still busy at work?
9:20 am
jean1953
Im fine thank you Haz yes busy at work and still cannot play babble at work anymore :(
9:20 am
Haz1558
Such a shame. So you have to make the most of what time you have at home.
9:21 am
jean1953
I know the housework gets neglected lol
9:22 am
Anniebrook
speaking of housework, I must be on my way, bye, dear babblers
9:22 am
jean1953
bye Anniebrook:)
9:23 am
Haz1558
Look at that - Annie's guilty conscience setting in. See you later Annie!
9:25 am
pabtrek
bye Annie
9:27 am
jean1953
sorry got distracted by the dogs who are not well at the moment Haz, how are you these days meant to ask just now,
9:28 am
Haz1558
I'm fine, just as usual. Are the dogs being a worry?
9:28 am
Judi
BBIAM. UPS man here. *growwwllll*
9:28 am
jean1953
Well I will be better when they have seen the vet, there is kennel cough going around and I think mine have it
9:29 am
Haz1558
It's annoying when that happens. Apparently the vaccine isn't very easy to administer (up the nose!) and it's not 100%.
9:30 am
jean1953
oh no the beagle willl hate that:( I cannot get an appointment till the morning, it has come on so quickly
9:30 am
BzznBea
You can give them cough syrup for humans. Although I'm not sure of the dosage.
9:31 am
Judi
Yuck. Up the nose vaccine. I thought they gave a shot for kennel cough.
9:31 am
Haz1558
If they already have it, I'm not sure that there's a great deal to be done other than symptomatic relief - the vaccine is usually given pre-boarding kennels as a preventative.
9:31 am
jean1953
can you, I never thought of that Bzzn might help them
9:32 am
jean1953
oh grief what have I done lol
9:32 am
Judi
Jean! You maniac. Stop that!
9:32 am
Judi
*phone* damn!
9:32 am
jean1953
lmao I dont know what button I hit then lol
9:32 am
Haz1558
They maybe have an injection in the States - over here it's an up the nose thing. Spangle is the most patient dog and she took it without too much difficulty but other dogs protest, understandably.
9:33 am
BzznBea
We gave our foster dogs cough syrup when they came in with it, Call your vet and ask. May help until they can get to theie appointment.
9:34 am
Haz1558
But don't wait until after midnight. We had a man ringing last night at 12/30 concerned that his parakeet had bled a bit.
9:34 am
Ms. Ditzian
hey wats up
9:34 am
Haz1558
The previous call had been the Old Folks Home, concerned about a wood pigeon with a broken wing. It was a bird themed evening.
9:35 am
crosshair
crossys back;)
9:35 am
Uneaixoise
aw, haz . . . .
9:35 am
jean1953
Oh no what a nightmare Haz, the joys of being a vet, dont worry I will give them a call now I think, bb in a mo
9:35 am
crosshair
you a vet haz?
9:36 am
Haz1558
Apparently all the old people were beside themselves with worry. It had to be put to sleep, but they were probably happy that it wasn't suffering any more.
9:36 am
Haz1558
No, crossy, I'm married to one - specialises in dairy practice. We have long discussions about calvings and mastitis.
9:37 am
crosshair
you think you get weird house calls? lol ive had tourists call me from thier condos
at 2 am wanting me to open up a entire resort office just to deliver them a corkscrew!
9:37 am
Haz1558
His practice is mixed, so when I answer the emergency phone at night it could be a dog or a sheep or cattle, you just never know.
9:37 am
BzznBea
Bet that's interesting dinner conversation...=)
9:38 am
crosshair
lol reminds me of those james herriot novels that i love! cows and mastitis:)
9:38 am
Haz1558
Well, not so much conversation as polite attention!
9:38 am
Haz1558
Anything that causes the milk yield to drop is a problem to be sorted out.
9:39 am
crosshair
prolaped uteris,slipped calf beds lol
9:39 am
crosshair
darn typos..dont even bother to try and fix them any more.curse my fat fingers!
9:40 am
Haz1558
Yes, calf bed out, or lamb bed out - they rarely use the medical terms around here.
9:40 am
crosshair
you read herriot haz?
9:40 am
jean1953
Thank you Bzzn have just spoken to the surgery and apparently I am ok to give them a teaspoon of benilyn so am off out to buy some will help till we get o the vets tommorow
9:40 am
crosshair
so funny
9:41 am
BzznBea
Glad to help.
9:41 am
Haz1558
I did, cross. It's very funny although things have moved on a lot in the technical side. The characters still remain.
9:41 am
crosshair
whats wrong with the dogs jean?
9:41 am
jean1953
Just popping out of grid for half n hour to purchase some benilyn, Happy Babbling one and all see you in a while
9:42 am
BzznBea
They have kennel cough, cross.
9:42 am
crosshair
ahh yes...so common
9:42 am
Haz1558
See you jean.
9:42 am
jean1953
I think they have kennel cough crosshair
9:42 am
crosshair
you hate to board yer dogs here for fear of that
9:42 am
jean1953
right gone:)
9:43 am
Haz1558
It's not life-threatening, just annoying to listen to.
9:44 am
crosshair
thats one good thing bout cats.if you have to,you can set them up for up to a week on thier own
9:44 am
Haz1558
Yes, just make sure they know how to operate the vacuum.
9:45 am
crosshair
our one cat is quite neat,the butterscotch tabby things it fun to fl;ing the litter as far as possible
9:46 am
Haz1558
Cats are strange.
9:47 am
crosshair
i threaten to the wife that ill just smear a half jar of jam in each of thier coats..will keep them busy for 15 hours or so:)))
9:47 am
Haz1558
Yes, but think of what they might do!
9:48 am
crosshair
or ill just play the physics game with them and tie a piece of buttered bread to thier back butter side up and toss them in the air:))
9:50 am
Haz1558
Have you ever been psycho-analysed for psychopathic tendencies?
9:51 am
crosshair
think of the fun though,a cat tends to land on its feet,buttered bread tends to land buttered side down,ergo the whole thig should stop about 2 feet from the ground and just hover:))
9:51 am
Haz1558
It's a theory. Let us hope profoundly that you leave it as an untested theory!
9:52 am
crosshair
no,but i think they are watching me with cameras:)
9:52 am
Judi
Interesting theory, Crossy. Be sure to let PETA know when you'll be conducting experiments.
9:52 am
crosshair
actually i like the cats as they stop the wife from trying to stuff dogs into the apartment
9:52 am
Haz1558
Never mind the cameras. We'll get Anniebrook on the job. Watch out for a flying nun taking notes.
9:53 am
crosshair
we have a nun in our midst??
9:54 am
crosshair
mm i better shelve that joke about the nun,the cowboy and a camel then..:/
9:54 am
Haz1558
Well, no, not really. It's a kind of running joke - Anniebrook takes on a different persona when necessary.
9:56 am
crosshair
lol im like sybl,i have 16 different personas and and invisible friend named bobo:) but im well adjusted:)
9:56 am
FMitch
Hello again
Has Annie taken to the air again, it has been an age!
9:57 am
Judi
Hi, FM (and others in FM).
9:57 am
Haz1558
Hello FMitch. No, she's doing housework.
9:57 am
Haz1558
I was just thinking - how DO you explain Annie as a nun and montreal with a fedora?
9:57 am
FMitch
Good heavens, housework!!
Hey Judi :)
9:57 am
FMitch
Probably best not to otherwise they may send for the men in white coats again.
9:58 am
BzznBea
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that thinks housework is absurd.
9:58 am
Haz1558
That's true.
9:59 am
Haz1558
No, LoriP is persuaded of that as well, Bzzn.
9:59 am
VolleymomDee
hmm surprised it didn't take sitz (sitz bath)... sure saved me after I had a baby :~)
9:59 am
Haz1558
I have yet to shake off my genetic conditioning.
9:59 am
FMitch
There are many that ban the mere mention of the word.
9:59 am
BzznBea
I think Sitz is a proper noun.
10:00 am
VolleymomDee
must be... maybe abbreviated version for name of inventor or something...
10:00 am
FMitch
Imagine the horror if the word 'housework' appeared in the grid one day!
10:01 am
BzznBea
I'd have to be asking for a clue. =)
10:02 am
pabtrek
have to go, getting migraine, can barely see, hope to be back later
10:02 am
VolleymomDee
hope it goes away quickly pab
10:02 am

Haz1558
I used to wonder why my father couldn't cope with a headache. Then I started to get them (in my 40s) and all became clear.
10:04 am
VolleymomDee
came to a halt with 39 left... going to my pal lickety lol. Isn't that the truth, Haz? Can be totally debilitating.
10:04 am
Haz1558
I know, and I probably only get a mild version, very occasionally. I'd hate to have them more often.
10:04 am
BzznBea
I had horrible migraines then I divorced my 1st husband and have not had one since. Honest truth.
10:05 am
VolleymomDee
lol
10:05 am
Haz1558
It's a pretty drastic cure!
10:05 am
BzznBea
Not if you knew my first husband. =)
10:06 am
VolleymomDee
new "reason for divorce box on papers" - spouse causes migraines
10:07 am
VolleymomDee
brb getting coffee
10:07 am
BzznBea
Dee, are you still on the OB?
10:08 am
EvaNadine
yknow, if im gonna be forced to work from home (which i was, thanks to suffering all night from a migraine) the least that could happen is for me to have the cleaning tolls i need to do the cleaning i wanna do while im home!
10:08 am
Haz1558
Hello EvaN - what tools do you need?
10:09 am
EvaNadine
i need a toilet brush!
we use the ones with the flushable "brushes" and we are all out of refills...
10:09 am
Haz1558
I could send you some?
10:10 am
BzznBea
You can have all my cleaning tools, Eva. They are all "gently" used.
10:10 am
EvaNadine
i only seem to clean on the days i "work from home"
heh
10:10 am
Haz1558
Or could you cobble together something with kitchen towels and disinfectant?
10:10 am
BzznBea
Got rubber gloves?
10:10 am
EvaNadine
i have a sponge i could use, but i have no gloves...
10:11 am
Haz1558
At least you wouldn't have to sew. My kind of craft!
10:12 am
FMitch
LOL yea right Haz.
10:12 am
Haz1558
Could you cut the sponge to fit on the end of the handle thing?
10:12 am
EvaNadine
hrm. maybe....
i might try that in a few minutes -- right now, the cleaning products are re-stirring the headache...
10:13 am
EvaNadine
you might have solved my dilemma, haz :)
10:13 am
Haz1558
I'll take advantage of being smug while I can now that Ata's back.
10:14 am
EvaNadine
heh, dont be smug until it actually works. ;)
10:15 am
VolleymomDee
sometimes I have used freezer bags with rubber bands on my hands (like mittens without the thumbs free)
10:15 am
Boobear
clue for et 7 please
10:15 am
Haz1558
If it doesn't work, it's not my fault. You'll have cut the sponge wrongly or something. The idea is fine...in theory!
10:15 am
FMitch
Very enterprising Volly
10:16 am
VolleymomDee
I don't like touching raw meat, so discovered that trick when I was making hamburger patties. Ty fm

10:16 am
BzznBea
Dee, are you still on the OBs?
10:17 am
VolleymomDee

10:18 am
BzznBea
Are they talking storms?
10:18 am
Haz1558
Nice entry to the PB there, Bzzn.
10:18 am
VolleymomDee
yes, little scary, but everyone here claims it is "no biggie, just get movies, cards, and pizza and stay inside"...
10:19 am
rururocks
Pizza will always protectyou
10:19 am
BzznBea
Hope theres pizza in the PB.
10:19 am

Although, you will still get a lift if you remove the first letter from some....
10:21 am
VolleymomDee
lol 4 el's, 2 le's
10:22 am

Fromthe bottom e - think wriggly things in double measure.

I know. My thoughts exactly, Une.
10:24 am

hurshy
my nose hurts
10:25 am
Uneaixoise
if "plural" is ever in the grid, we're in big trouble! LOL
10:25 am
Haz1558
Because of thinking about wriggly things?
10:26 am
BzznBea
And the weatherforcasters are not sure where it will make landfall.
10:26 am
hurshy
no, it has hurt since yesterday
10:26 am
Haz1558
Were you fighting? or is it a sinus problem?
10:26 am
VolleymomDee
ty for the ge words. Maybe it will fizzle or not hit here. It has been so lovely, even with the clouds and the wind, and it isn't very crowded.
10:27 am
BzznBea
Could hit NC, could hit NY or could travel to Canada before making landfall/
10:27 am
harpjane
good grief, another hurricane?
10:27 am
hurshy
no... it's not that kind of hurt. i think there is somehow a zit growing inside it.
10:27 am
BzznBea
Kyle, I believe.
10:28 am
hurshy
i wonder if people who have babies during hurricanes often name their kids the name of the hurricane
10:28 am

Just clued, kje - ge plus French word for word.

10:32 am
72 Temple Owl
:D
10:33 am

no, she didn't... we wound up closing an office, actually, and hiring someone else
10:33 am

Hi folks, just on for a bit. How is everyone?
10:34 am

i think she took the test about 9 times, and never passed!

I like the word kibosh, it is a silly sounding word
10:36 am

agreed, hurshy... i mean, 80% of people fail it their first time. it isn't easy, but 9 times is a bit over the top
10:36 am

I can put the Osso Bucco in there...

11:01 am
EspritdJean
I've had that unpleasant experience Pug, I hope hers turns out better
11:01 am
MonkeyGames
Are there pro-bono places? Where is she? My brother's a lawyer, maybe he can reccommend something?
11:01 am
pugmama763
unfortunately I am in no better shape so cannot help her
11:02 am
EspritdJean
that's rarely done on a pro bono basis in the USA
11:02 am
pugmama763
Buffalo NY
11:02 am
EspritdJean
my case was in NJ and cost a fortune
11:02 am
MonkeyGames
My brother is in CA. I can ask him if he has any ideas...
11:02 am
joshuavorbis
but if it's about inheritance, a lawyer could do it on condition of getting a sum if they win
11:02 am
EspritdJean
also rarely done on a contingency basis
11:03 am
kje
OK, either need to start listing or take a break... so will be back later I guess
11:03 am
hurshy
why would they do personal injury on contingency but not inheritance?
11:03 am
MonkeyGames
Here also, Esprid, but there are often places most people don't know about, like where I work, that can help.
11:03 am
EspritdJean
because the laws are more complicated
11:04 am
EspritdJean
liability is a lot easier to prove than inheritance contest
11:04 am
pugmama763
her aunt & father were to be dual inheritors of the parents house (worth quite a fair sum.Her father comitted suicide so she & her 1/2 sister were to get his share
11:04 am
hurshy
huh, weird.
11:04 am
EspritdJean
Pug, who is the benefactor?
11:04 am
MonkeyGames
OK, well, I will contact my brother and ask if he has any ideas about the kinds of place/people to contact. No promises, but I'll see what he says.
11:04 am
pugmama763
now the aunt is declaring bankrupcy & listing the girls as unsecured creditors to write off
11:04 am
kje
b/c personal injury often goes to jury that they can sway and have a chance of getting a huge payoff... inheritance usually a mediator or a judge and seldom huge payouts
11:04 am
EspritdJean
who is trying to screw her, the aunt?
11:05 am
Ms. Ditzian
hi all
11:05 am
MonkeyGames
Oh MAN, that sucks!
11:05 am
MonkeyGames
Hello, Ditzi!
11:05 am
EspritdJean
the aunt's bankruptcy should not affect their share of an inheritance
11:05 am
hurshy
well, you know, you wouldn't want her to end up like in bleak house. that would be worse.
11:05 am
joshuavorbis
so the house is not paid for?
11:05 am

one of the plots of bleak house involves an inheritance case, dickens was satirizing how bad the courts were about stuff at that time in england. the case had gone on for so long, none of the lawyers really understood what the issues even were anymore.
11:07 am

1:25 pm
LadyNatts
I've read that! the time traveller's wife, that is.

kje
no bodice ripping allowed in babble

MonkeyGames
A Jedi you shall become...

The TV is freaking me out! They're interviewing this guy in Dutch, and subtitling him in very slightly different Dutch. Why are they doing that? My brain's getting out of synch.

And she tipped over off the toilet Saturday when her husband turned to grab a towel--she smashed her face--broken nasal bones, and bruised cheek and upper lip.

8:23 pm

Yes, it hurts so much to see her in this weakened state and to be suffering for so long. And her husband is bearing such an enormous burden without his life partner there to support HIM and the kids.
8:24 pm

You could get a cut of ham from the same place but that would have been cut before the salting. Ther is almost no difference in taste, especially if you soak the joint in water before cooking it (to remove all the salt) like wot I do!

tygerbryght
there is NO other meaning
10:01 pm
tygerbryght
nearly all of the other STs are normal, real words
10:01 pm
lil*monkey
need help with st7
10:01 pm
lil*monkey
is it normal?
10:02 pm
tygerbryght
there is a Greek plural, but it's not immediately below the singular - the roman plural comes first :P
10:02 pm
tygerbryght
it's a normal word, in terms of you've seen it in grids before :D
10:02 pm
lil*monkey
OK got it!
10:02 pm
tygerbryght

10:04 pm
tygerbryght
AFAIK, saani, that's all
10:05 pm
tygerbryght
it's just the name of a German town, and has no business in a Scrabble word list
10:05 pm
tygerbryght
the ST word we were talking about, that is
