1:15 am
bookwomen
i moved from Chicago to Alabama and do not miss the Chicago weather at all.
1:16 am
PAV3
if he doesn't like snow or can tolerate heat...it's a dry heat after all, he should be fine. there are places within the cities (Valley of the Sun, Phoenix metro area) that have man made lakes, pine trees and such to keep him from getting too homesick..but mostly a weather change, not much rain very warm or hot most of the year...
1:16 am
westford
I don't think he will either book
1:16 am
westford
sounds like heaven pav
1:16 am
Hugabugs
clue icon is up
1:17 am
PAV3
Is he younger or retired? Mesa is a troubled city for the time being, severe budget cuts, lots of minorities as the Mormons are moving outward to other parts
1:17 am
bookwomen
He will miss the food though. My family visits often enough to keep us in hot dogs, pizza and beefs
1:17 am
Aussieme
Hola babble Family..... I have an icon clue !!
1:17 am
westford
he's semi-retired
1:17 am
PAV3
there are "chicago-style pizzarias all over...

westford

1:20 am
PAV3
well I can think of better places to live than in Mesa, they may wish to rent first to get the lay of the la4, even if on a budget
1:20 am
Hugabugs
I know... I got tons of those as well. But if you check the dictionary, it tells you what it is.
1:20 am
Aussieme

jillibus
aussie's icon is the ma7 with the last consonant doubled -- not in the grid
1:33 am
Aussieme
I know Jilli, but when I googled the word, it was the first picture it gave me, so it's not my fault, but googles !!
1:34 am
Aussieme

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpiali
docious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad My father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word That saved me aching nose
The biggest word I ever heard And this is how it goes:
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Ev
en though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpiali
docious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully Or it may change your life
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's my wife!
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Aussieme
We've just been introduced,
I do not know you well,
But when the music started
Something drew me to your side.
So many men and girls,
Are in each others arms.
It made me think we might be
Similarly occupied.
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With are arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we Dance?

3:08 am
Norma
Since I have been retired... I have been coming on early or very late... time isn't as important as when I was at work
3:09 am
lynxxx
Congrats! it's nice to do what you want when you want isn't it
3:10 am
Norma
I was not looking forward to it .. didn't know what I was going to do with myself.. there still doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day ... but it is nice
3:10 am
Andree
just wish it were me in retirement
3:11 am
lynxxx
I finished 18 mths ago, I think I have been bored on 2 days only
3:11 am
Norma
I can recommend it Andree
3:12 am
Norma
I have that many folks making arrangements for me I think it might be that long before I MIGHT get bored lol
3:12 am
lynxxx
Andree - I guess you'll have to wait a couple of years now (sigh). How is the building industry up there?
3:13 am
Andree
its really bad lynxxx, am hanging in by my fingernails at the moment
3:14 am
lynxxx
ugh..hope something crops up for you
3:14 am
Andree
and i hate breaking a nail, lol
3:16 am
Andree
thx lynxxx but its pretty grim, have been through 1 recession guess i will get through this
3:16 am
herinfernallady
hi
3:17 am
Norma
Is this recession causing you big problems in Aus .. I didn't think it was so bad with you guys ... it is hellish in the UK .. the building industry is in real trouble
3:18 am
lynxxx
it is Norma - although isn't as bad as UK/US - yet. We keep hearing about massive redundancies of late
3:18 am
Andree
its not as bad for us as overseas but we are still very affected
3:20 am
herinfernallady
NOrma it is here but not as bad. The issues are the greedy SOB CEOs
3:20 am
Norma
We have major problems in the Building Industry and the car industry last heard there is going to be 130,000 effected if the car industry goes bump, it doesn't help that we have a spendthrift Mr Brown lol
3:22 am
Andree
they are just todays issues, hopefully we will not go into a recession, that is my view
3:22 am
joshuavorbis
sleep calls - good luck everyone
3:22 am

we are lucky we still have commodities needed by large markets like china
3:23 am
Norma
I agree herin ... have you heard about the CEO's of the major banks in the UK.. there yearly pension pot is bigger than most people earn in a lifetime
3:23 am
Andree
they don't call us the lucky country for nothing
3:23 am
herinfernallady
The CEO of Pacific brands racked in about 2mil and staff aren't going to get their entitlements
3:24 am
herinfernallady
The CEO of Telstra is taking with him $30mil
3:25 am
Norma
There is always someone who thinks they are better than the rest of us plebs .. and it is the little indians that suffer while the Chiefs don't seem to come under the same restraints as the rest of us.
3:25 am
lynxxx
I think the CEOs of the UK banks make those pale in comparisom Infernal
3:25 am
Andree
herin, there have been awful job losses there but no one has said they won't get their entitlements
3:27 am
Andree
i agree lynxxx
3:27 am
herinfernallady
my mistake nits 2 auto parts cos
3:27 am
Norma
The labour laws in the UK make it easier to get rid of staff for very little compensation, and there are many thousands of people losing their homes .. with no help at hand .. at least we are an age that our home is paid for
3:28 am

Oh of course. I forget the days.
3:34 am
redturtlehead
thanks.
3:34 am

no idea red, i changed my icon for the first time in 3 years[ or rather my daughter did it for me] so you could be looking at my face for a while
3:34 am
redturtlehead
Its lovely Andree!
3:36 am
Norma
It is a lovely picture Andree
3:39 am
Andree
lots of wrinkles and i have earned every one
3:41 am
lynxxx
They don't show badly at all Andree, I was just going to say you look at least 10 years younger.
3:42 am
redturtlehead
Off topic, the grid you know, it goes along swimmingly today and then suddenly comes to a screeching halt. Hmmm.
3:43 am
Norma
Even the easy ones do that to me lol
3:43 am
herinfernallady
OH and Telstra just announced Job cuts
3:44 am
lynxxx
down to 32 and finding new words hard
3:44 am
redturtlehead
Everyone is having Job cuts. I am very worried right now, but feel lucky to have a Perm. Job in the works.
3:44 am
Andree
i have 27 left but started using list at 1/2 way
3:44 am
redturtlehead
I am at 67 left lynxx....
3:44 am
herinfernallady
But Red you are a nurse that is important
3:44 am
lynxxx
You have accepted Red?
3:45 am
redturtlehead
I took it lynxx, ther eis just no other acceptable option.
3:45 am
redturtlehead
Even as a Nurse Herin, there are fewer and fewer jobs and there are now pay cuts. :(
3:45 am
lynxxx
congrats Red...was that the one where the doctor approached you?
3:46 am
redturtlehead
No, I took the Emergency one, since I am already there and comfortable there.
3:46 am
Andree
yes red , no one can afford to be too fussy at the moment and anything is better than being jobless
3:46 am
herinfernallady
OH dear cats are fighting :(
3:46 am
herinfernallady
Andree that you?
3:47 am
redturtlehead
My biggest problem is the House I am still paying Mortgage on and dont live in. :( SOmeone needs to buy it.
3:47 am
Andree
unless lucky and retired like lynxxx and norma, i am green with envy
3:47 am
redturtlehead
Me too Andree. No way would I even be awake now but for job.
3:47 am
lynxxx
not rentable Red...or won't that cover the mortgage payments?
3:47 am
Andree
not a great time to be selling red, i feel for you
3:48 am
redturtlehead
I want to sell, so its staged perfectly, renting would probably decrease the property value and make it harder to sell. they anticipate a sale in the next 4-6 months...
3:48 am
Andree
herin do you mean the photo, yes thats me in my favourite dress covered in watermelons
3:49 am
redturtlehead
but it could be worse, since the economy tanked, rents here in Florida are very very low, so for a while ti will be doable.
3:49 am
herinfernallady
THat is a great photo ANdree
3:49 am
Andree
hope you can hold out for that long red
3:49 am
redturtlehead
And with that, I am going to dash off to work! Have good days my Aussie pals, and hopefully some good thing will come on for you Andree!!! *Poof*

Dr. God was on about 12:30 babble time and said the site has been hacked.

1:36 pm
Mom
Hurshy, around 12:30 babble time, Dr. God said the site has been hacked
1:36 pm
hurshy
so how long does he think it will take to fix?
1:36 pm
Uneaixoise
don't think anyone knows . . .
1:37 pm
hurshy
this is very very very very very very bad
1:38 pm
hurshy
and it's not even an easy grid :P
1:46 pm
Read-Knit-Bake
Just a suggestion. I did Lickety's list and entered all the words even though there is no word list. When you log out and log back in it appears the words are recorded because I have o words left to enter and all the squares are grey...
1:48 pm
hurshy
i have been entering my words on here, i can't see them but they are going in - i have 41 to go.
1:48 pm
Dr_God
It seems even the folks at my web host are stumped as to what hackishness is going on. :\
1:48 pm
hurshy
the only thing that's sort of hard is knowing what i have or have not put in yet, and the fact that nobody's chatting
1:49 pm
Read-Knit-Bake
Good luck... !
1:49 pm
hurshy
oooh doc! what will they do then? can we get... moved to some other sort of server or whatnot?
1:49 pm
nrkii
oh, I'm so sad
1:51 pm
Erda
I vaguely remember a similar thing happening at the defunct Tangleword. Someone was determined to kill it, and they did. There must be a way to deal with these cybercriminals!
1:51 pm
Dippnall
well - managed to finish - but not sure how. Good luck all - esp the good Dr!
1:52 pm
hurshy
do they hate babble, or is it just random meanness, i wonder?
1:54 pm
Erda
Random meanness, I think. Teenage version, probably.
1:56 pm
