grannyrose

, understand, anike.my hubby lost nearly 50K. my super remained almost unchanged.

2:14 am

grannyrose

will send trampoline to federal bank,see if that helps.

2:15 am

anike

Both our super and investment plummeted - lost over $150,000 between us (on paper that is) so we are hoping it will come back as quick as possible.

2:15 am

grannyrose

:(

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

2:17 am

2:17 am

grannyrose

ite rbud

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

I totally agree granny... very scary... I literally have had to remember... God is the one who placed the planets in the heavens, named the stars, and knows every hair on our heads... otherwise you get terrified

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

not to sound corny...

2:20 am

grannyrose

so tr4, my friend, so tr4

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

:)

2:20 am

grannyrose

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

(((granny)))

2:21 am

grannyrose

(((hugs ))))

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

a line in this movie I am watching (Return to Me).. says.."...it's the character that's the strongest who God gives the most challenges"... just a movie, but very tr4

2:22 am

grannyrose

that would have to be one of my favourite hymns

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

for su4

2:23 am

grannyrose

do you know it? You are an amazing God.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

this one seemed tougher than yesterday's thx

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

some friends and I have been doing a Beth Moore study on Psalms... really beautiful study... Ps 121 is really cool, too

2:27 am

grannyrose

but there are such a lot of words from yesterday in todays

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

yes

2:28 am

grannyrose

i absolutely adore 1 thess, ch4 v:13-18

2:31 am

grannyrose

as harold dewbury paraphrased it, on judgement day, those who are already dead will have front row seats, the rest of you , hang onto your hats,it's going to be a grreat ride.

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

starts.. I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord - the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip; He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber, nor sleep. The Lord watches over you-the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon, by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm-He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forever. The Thess verses were a great comfort to me when my mom died.

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

I love that granny!!!!

2:32 am

grannyrose

oh, yes, one of the most beautiful psalms.

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

this study is about the psalms of ascent (didn't realize there was such a grouping before) it's on Ps 120 - 134... she has done such a good job

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

well, I must be poofing... so great to see you rose

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

Atalante

2:57 am

grannyrose

2:58 am

Atalante

well at least I have antibodies now :D

2:59 am

grannyrose

our health department is currently running a huge vaccination program . free flu shots for all.

3:00 am

flosey

hello again, can't sleep, maybe get a few more words

3:00 am

Atalante

I normally don't like flu shots, but the swine flu shot protects against how I've felt over the last 2 weeks, it's a godsend!

3:02 am

grannyrose

flosey!!!! one sheep, two sheep.....

3:02 am

Atalante

hi flosey!

3:02 am

flosey

lol granny, having a bit of discomfort from

3:03 am

flosey

arthritis - took a pill so will wait for it to work

3:03 am

flosey

hi Ata

3:03 am

jillibus

hi again flosey -- I'm still chugging along -- 105 to go now

3:03 am

grannyrose

very gentle hug to you

3:04 am

flosey

good for you jilli

3:04 am

jillibus

where's the arthritis biting you, flosey?

3:04 am

flosey

thanks granny, hugs are always nice

3:05 am

flosey

hip jilli, hard to get comfortable sometimes

3:05 am

jillibus

oh dear! Replacement in the offing?

3:05 am

mrpresident

hello everyone :)

3:06 am

jillibus

hi mrp!

3:06 am

grannyrose

yuck, flosey, know that feeling well, sometimes you think they are going to fall right off.

3:06 am

grannyrose

hey rp

3:06 am

mrpresident

hi jilli :)
hi rose :)

3:06 am

mrpresident

hi flosey :)

3:07 am

Atalante

hi mrp!

3:07 am

grannyrose

hey mrp * get it RIGHT rose*

3:07 am

flosey

slathered it with Lakota heavy duty lotion and it helped, and take extra strangth iboprofin

3:07 am

mrpresident

hi ata!

3:08 am

mrpresident

extra strength iboprofin...? hmmmm, must be laced with codeine!

3:08 am

flosey

no, jilli, think it's just arthritis - had xray done last week, see Dr. next monday

3:09 am

flosey

I don't think so mrp, you'd have to have script to get anything with Codeine, I do have Tylenol3 which has codeine

3:09 am

jillibus

that's what causes hip replacements, flosey!

3:10 am

mrpresident

you have to have a script!!?? that is mean!

3:10 am

flosey

hmmm, sure don't want to go there jilli

3:10 am

mrpresident

We have codeine in EVERYTHING and no script needed!

3:10 am

jillibus

well, it's helped countless people

3:10 am

flosey

we'll see what he says Monday

3:11 am

mrpresident

hip replacement is better than pain flosey, if necessary.

3:11 am

jillibus

is the Dr here or in Vic?

3:11 am

flosey

here, Dr.C

3:11 am

grannyrose

lady in my hydrotherapy class had bilateral hip replacements 20 years ago, and she's still going strong

3:12 am

jillibus

well, good luck!

3:12 am

flosey

but I'm just hoping it won't be necessary

3:12 am

grannyrose

she's in hydro for her back.....

3:13 am

jillibus

maybe some glucosamine and chondroitin

3:13 am

flosey

I do take that Jilli

3:13 am

Atalante

find some with turmeric in as well - it's a natural pain killer

3:14 am

flosey

interesting Ata, I've heard turmeric is good

3:15 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

3:15 am

Atalante

this is going to sound awful - but Hobbit's glucosamine tablets have turmeric in with the mix, and so I read up about why they do. She's definitely less whimpery with turmeric included than without

3:15 am

flosey

hello Lynxxx

3:15 am

Atalante

hi lyn! hi stew!

3:16 am

mrpresident

hi lynxx :)

3:16 am

jillibus

hi lynxxx

3:17 am

lynxxx

How is Hobbit today? I was thinkng perhaps she shouldn't see Oscar anymore, he is obviously a bad influence

3:17 am

flosey

thaks Ata, will check it out

3:18 am

Atalante

he really is lol! she never did any of this cliff diving stuff before! but she's fine. stiff, but fine. I took her out into the garden just now and she bounced around for a few minutes before obviously realising that actually she did hurt a bit. and then very carefully wandered back inside. but for what she went through yesterday? she's amazingly well

3:19 am

jillibus

what happened yesterday, ata?

3:19 am

Atalante

she went cliff diving, fell down a 5m high ladder onto rock and boulders

3:20 am

Andree

hi everyone

3:20 am

jillibus

hi andree

3:20 am

Atalante

I can be flippant about it now cos she's absolutely fine, but I can't even think about what could have happened

3:20 am

lynxxx

hi Andree

3:20 am

Atalante

hi andree! hi puppy!

3:20 am

Andree

ata glad to hear hobbit is okay, did it give you a fright

3:21 am

Atalante

did it ever. I really thought she was dead for a moment. A 5m fall is big even for a floppy dog

3:21 am

Atalante

but I took her to the vets when I got her back up the cliffs, and they couldn't find a scratch on her

3:21 am

jillibus

how awful

3:22 am

jillibus

how lucky!

3:22 am

Atalante

incredibly lucky! even the vets were impressed!

3:22 am

Andree

maybe she will give up cliff diving now

3:23 am

Atalante

she's not going anywhere near a cliff ever again!!

3:23 am

lynxxx

taking after her mum...just didn't use a parachute

3:23 am

Atalante

you can all imagine the white cliffs of dover in your head, can't you? bluebirds flying over them etc etc

3:24 am

Andree

was she chasing something or just didn't see the edge?

3:24 am

Atalante

well she fell down the ladder right at the bottom. onto the beach. I had to hoick her back up the ladder and then half carry / half let her walk back up the steepest path in the whole of Kent zigzagging up the cliffs.

3:25 am

Atalante

I think she just thought she coudl walk down it. And so tried before I could grab her

3:25 am

lynxxx

how much does she weigh?

3:25 am

Atalante

20kg!!

3:26 am

jillibus

oof!

3:26 am

lynxxx

gawd! you ARE strong

3:26 am

Andree

ouch

3:26 am

Atalante

she's a bloody compact and muscular little mutt

3:26 am

Atalante

I'm not! I think my back aches more than hers does!

3:28 am

Atalante

how much do great danes weigh, jilli?

3:30 am

jillibus

about 140 lbs (I still think in lbs)

3:30 am

lynxxx

Stew has a new friend ...cross between a great dane and an english pointer. Lovely natured pup but growing at rate of knots

3:30 am

Atalante

now THATS a scary thought for carrying up cliffs!

3:31 am

Atalante

I think in pounds apart from dog weights cos the vet always measures them in kg lol

3:31 am

jillibus

that's about 65 kg according to my calculator

3:31 am

Atalante

awwww that's going to be a heck of a dog :)

3:31 am

lynxxx

Do they eat a lot Jili? once out of puppy stage

3:31 am

Andree

he will be stew's new large friend

3:32 am

Atalante

definitely!

3:32 am

jillibus

not really -- about as much as a German Shepherd. Speaking for ours, anyway.

3:33 am

Atalante

were they originally shepherding dogs? or hunting? or - what?

3:33 am

jillibus

Wild boar hunters

3:33 am

Atalante

oh!!

3:33 am

Atalante

wow

3:34 am

lynxxx

Really! with that beautiful fat soft nose? or did that come later

3:34 am

jillibus

that Dane/Pointer combo should be interesting -- similar conformation, different size and colour

3:34 am

jillibus

I guess it came later!

3:34 am

Atalante

they look far too gentle to grapple wild boars

3:34 am

flosey

oops, feel asleep right here, better be off to bed, goodnight again

3:35 am

jillibus

they have been tamed considerably!

3:35 am

lynxxx

goodnite Flosey

3:35 am

Atalante

night flosey

3:35 am

jillibus

g'night flosey -- sleep well now!

3:35 am

Andree

bye flosey

3:35 am

flosey

will do

3:35 am

flosey

enjoy

3:35 am

Atalante

I have to say, jilli, that before knowing you I didn't like great danes much. Not dislike them, but had no particular affinity for them. You've really shown me what gorgeous dogs they are over the babble years :)

3:36 am

jillibus

glad to hear that, ata!

3:36 am

Atalante

and then I met a Harlequin one the other day and utterly fell in love :)

3:36 am

jillibus

They're such loves!

3:37 am

lynxxx

I think they are magnificent. The drool puts me off them though

3:37 am

Atalante

I'd love to have one nearby to talk to on a regular basis. Maybe one will move in one day :)

3:38 am

lynxxx

or you might consider getting a small horse instead Ata

3:38 am

Andree

like boxers, lovely dogs but i could not cope with the drooling

3:38 am

Atalante

our next-door neighbours announced recently that they were getting a new dog. I had such hopes. They turned up with a scraggy little thing with terrier fur and the yap of a yappy little thing

3:39 am

Atalante

I'm sure she's utterly gorgeous, but she's not a dog that we could go walking with!

3:39 am

jillibus

lyn, they shouldn't drool. There's been a recent fad for lots of lip which is really considered a fault in the breed standard for that very reason. Ours did NOT drool.

3:39 am

Atalante

and mastiffs

3:40 am

jillibus

Mastiffs and Newfs do drool -- they have more lip

3:40 am

Atalante

loooooove mastiffs

3:40 am

jillibus

Well, 75 left now and I must go to bed!

3:41 am

Atalante

bye jilli!

3:41 am

lynxxx

Interesting Jilli. I was watching them at our annual Show, a couple of years ago, and most of the handlers held towels and used them

3:41 am

Andree

bye jilli

3:41 am

lynxxx

goodnight Jilli

3:42 am

jillibus

It's something that's happened in the last 15 years or so, Lyn. A real shame.

3:43 am

jillibus

We never saw towels in the ring when we were showing.

3:44 am

lynxxx

Obviously not good for either Danes or some young people to have a lot of lip!

3:44 am

Andree

took my car for a service today, $950 gave me a rude shock

3:44 am

jillibus

LOL!

3:45 am

jillibus

Well, off I go . . . night all . . . *poof*

3:46 am

lynxxx

Nasty Andree...had mine done a few months ago, uckily hey rang before they went ahead with $1,200 worth of work. Dropped a few things ended up with $600 - still too much

3:48 am

Andree

mine is a once a year service which i love but this was a biggie and more than twice last years cost, i was mentally unprepared

3:51 am

lynxxx

How's business Andree, have you picked up?

3:53 am

Andree

a little lynxxx, certainly nothing to become too excited about

3:55 am

lynxxx

Maybe 2010 will be better, not long to go now (Cue BabRab to come in an announce number of days)

3:55 am

Atalante

722 days till June 20th 2011

3:55 am

Atalante

or something :)

3:56 am

Andree

wow ata, what brought that on

3:56 am

Atalante

was just being BabRab for him!

3:56 am

lynxxx

BBL son has arrived

3:57 am

Andree

bye lynxxx

4:00 am

Atalante

bye lyn

4:02 am

FMitch

4:03 am

Atalante

Atalante

4:09 am

Andree

he is at that awful puppy biting everything stage

4:10 am

Atalante

*Aussie

4:10 am

Atalante

oh no! puppy proof the house!

4:10 am

FMitch

I dated a Hugo once waaaay back when.

4:11 am

mrpresident

andree, we 'gave' vixie a box of toys she could chew on... but she still managed to chew on one of the lounge chair arms! LOL

4:11 am

FMitch

BRB, phone *sigh*

4:11 am

mrpresident

we only ever found 1 tooth, she swallowed the other puppy teeth!

4:12 am

Atalante

and you saw floppy fringe Russell!

4:12 am

Andree

i puppy proof and just leave his toys about, but the kids keep leaving lego etc out and my daughter left her slippers where he got to them today

4:12 am

FMitch

Back and yes I did Ata *grin*

4:13 am

Haz1558

Is this an appropriate time to say hello?

4:13 am

mrpresident

oh dear andree! best of luck with that! we had to put up child-proof gates!

4:13 am

Andree

hi haz

4:13 am

FMitch

Haz!!! Good morning :)

4:14 am

Andree

is there ever an appropriate time on chat?

4:14 am

Haz1558

Hello, hello!

4:15 am

Atalante

haz! la glitteratina!

4:15 am

mrpresident

and when the little b%*$# got through the gates, we got bird wire and lined the child-proof gates with that.

4:15 am

Haz1558

C'est nous!

4:15 am

mrpresident

andree! are you home hun??

4:15 am

Atalante

4:16 am

Andree

4:16 am

Andree

4:16 am

mrpresident

4:17 am

FMitch

Can't do French or even franglais today.

4:17 am

mrpresident

andree, I spoke to rose yesterday.... for almost 2 hours! you have to give her a call. She is still recovering. I can sms you her home number

4:17 am

Atalante

bet FFRussell could!

4:18 am

herinfernallady

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

4:18 am

mrpresident

can you sms me your home number?? I don't have it on my mobile, and lickety's mobile accidentally/on-purpose 'fell' off the balcony.

4:18 am

Andree

i have it mrp, will give her a call

4:18 am

FMitch

LOL no he coudn't - he could do Russelleze though.
Hi herin.

4:18 am

Atalante

LOL :)

4:18 am

mrpresident

*fuck me roman" you nearly killed me infern!

4:19 am

Andree

hi herin

4:19 am

herinfernallady

Lol MR Pres. Is this aka 'i helped the phone off the balcony :D''

4:19 am

mrpresident

did I actually type a naughty word?? not like me at all!

4:19 am

Andree

mrp, no i only have rose's mobile number so sms me please

4:20 am

Haz1558

I'll come back later.

4:20 am

FMitch

Launguage MrP!

4:20 am

mrpresident

ok darling... on the way... and please sms me back your home number

4:20 am

herinfernallady

MR Pres shocking. Later Haz did i scare you off

4:20 am

mrpresident

Language was totally appropriate for the situation!

4:20 am

Atalante

Haz is easily bewildered

4:21 am

Haz1558

No, I just don't want to read that sort of thing. Back later.

4:21 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I didn't mean to upset anyone

4:24 am

FMitch

You're OK herin, are you still celebrating yr birthday?

4:24 am

mrpresident

infern, haz is perhaps/maybe being a prude... is an 'english thing'. And I am sure it was my comment that sent her away without me knowing it would upset her.

4:24 am

FMitch

Haz is not a prude!

4:25 am

mrpresident

ok fm

4:25 am

Atalante

Haz is not a prude, and it's also not an English trait!!!

4:25 am

mrpresident

ok ata

4:25 am

Andree

i think she was just being very honest

4:26 am

mrpresident

indeed .

4:27 am

LoriP

That's kinda' like saying using unnecessary profanity on a board where children also play the game is an Austrailian trait.

4:27 am

LoriP

G'd Morning Babblers!

4:27 am

FMitch

Ack I must go - have a client calling me in 5 mins to go through some work I did for her yesterday. Back in a while

((LoriP))

4:27 am

mrpresident

well, I guess so

4:28 am

LoriP

Stop working, it just generates revenue, and makes you tired FM....

4:28 am

Atalante

lmao yes

4:28 am

Ray100

Not profane in my view & one of my favourite words - but you don't often see it here!

4:28 am

mrpresident

we just use profanity in ways that other's don't care

4:28 am

FMitch

I know Lori and I am running on empty atm

4:29 am

LoriP

***nails FM with an energy cannon*** :p

4:30 am

FMitch

:) *poof*

4:30 am

LoriP

Later gator.

4:30 am

mrpresident

didn't think profanity was vulgar in a roman way! the Pompeiians certainly partied their way into the word... 'fucati' is the word they invented and so became the word 'fuck'. whatever... history and jokes are just that

4:31 am

mrpresident

so over the prude set!

4:31 am

mrpresident

btw, 'fucati' means 'to make'

4:32 am

Atalante

so can I call someone a c*** as long as I call them a roman c***? and that's not rude? *fascinated*

4:32 am

LoriP

There's a reason that you added "did I actually type a naughty word?? not like me at all!". Kids do read here. Don't hide behind prude BS, try some common courtesy

4:33 am

LoriP

With that, I'm off my soap box and back to the unnecessary amount of c's in this grid...

4:33 am

herinfernallady

FM birthday was awesome. SOrry I was batting the cat off my chicken

4:33 am

Atalante

39! eeeeeep!

4:34 am

Atalante

Pandora! Lucius! Behave!

4:34 am

mrpresident

and whenever I order a foccacia at my local italian deli, the guy laughs and says 'whenever you want it baby'! yeah, you must all be stupid to not take a joke

4:34 am

Atalante

yes, yes, insult all of babble. that'll get you far

4:34 am

mrpresident

why is it always you three...??

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Ata. I had freeking Lucius dropped on me last night and the little turd in fright clawed me

4:35 am

Atalante

because it's an English trait to stand up to idiocy

4:36 am

mrpresident

whatever ...

4:36 am

Atalante

little monster!

4:36 am

Ray100

now now children....

4:36 am

Buttonman

mrpresident...totally not necessary language. I am gone too

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Ok this is going to haunt me tommorrow but can we stop having M and C words please

4:37 am

mrpresident

bye buttonman

4:37 am

herinfernallady

Ata that little monster should be aimed at the B.f who was a burke enough to think dropping a kitty on me wouldn't result in claws

4:37 am

Atalante

at least there's no Fs

4:37 am

Atalante

talking of that, I really need to trim Sily's claws today

4:38 am

mrpresident

who cares ... only the colonial kids

4:38 am

pam

Good day, all!!!! I decided to take a peek--am working on volunteer stuff--and I think I need to come back to babble despite my schedule this evening! Except, I am working an event....

4:38 am

LoriP

lolol Ray Laters Button

4:38 am

Atalante

you're the colony :P

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Oh to add insult the b.f says he doesn't want to use the clippers because they have teeth and claws. If he didn't want to do it why did I buy them.

4:38 am

Atalante

looool *facepalm*

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Hi Pam

4:38 am

Atalante

Pammyyyyyyyy!

4:39 am

LoriP

G'd mornin' Pam

4:39 am

pam

herin, ata (no pammy, please) and all!!!!

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Well its not our fault England was to uptight for us so we buggered off to Aussie land

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Said with love too

4:39 am

mrpresident

and there lies the issue :)

4:39 am

pam

Hobbit is a miracle, ata

4:39 am

pam

Hi, Lori!

4:39 am

Atalante

sorry. Pam. <3

4:39 am

Atalante

she is! thank god

4:39 am

pam

Thanks, ata!

4:39 am

LoriP

Ata like to waste consonants

4:40 am

pam

I am so glad, ata.... Spooky/scary....

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Tell liz that Oscar is a crap influence on Hobbit Ata

4:40 am

Atalante

I have!! Many times! LOL

4:40 am

Atalante

but Os and Hobbit get on so so well. They are adorable together

4:40 am

herinfernallady

I swear i have typed or gone to type document or donut

4:41 am

Andree

i would like to be a voice of reason here, the f word which is a great word doesn't belong on babble and either does bagging out other countries

4:42 am

herinfernallady

I said what I said with love.

4:42 am

Norma

er

4:42 am

herinfernallady

My parents are English.

4:42 am

Andree

my dad a scotsman

4:43 am

mrpresident

Atalante, Haz and FMitch are against Aussies cause we don't kiss up to 'old-school'... surprised that Ata is still here.
If I choose to discuss history and english root words, they fly out quick!

4:43 am

Atalante

ditto, I love Aus. I can trace back my roots to the first governor of SA. My greataunt and greatuncle adn a load of cousins live over there. I've spent nearly a year working there.

4:43 am

Atalante

lmao mrp. oh dear.

4:44 am

mrpresident

indeedy-do !!

4:44 am

LoriP

er to you too Norma! G'd mornin' :)

4:44 am

herinfernallady

My b.fs Grandfather or Great Grandfather owned parts of Normanby until the King wanted the land. Also I believe that in their family they have a lord or lady in the family that turned from the ''family'' and married a commoner and was disowned

4:45 am

Norma

Sorry about that Lori was reading the chat with interest and got dislexic fingers

4:45 am

LoriP

lol Norma, just teasin'. I've done it eleventy kadillion times myself.

4:45 am

mrpresident

I was making a joke... a crude joke as it was... and then I got put down for it. off with their heads!

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Hi Norma.

4:46 am

ChrissieDee

OMG - car crash chat - mrp please stop making this personal, many more babblers are probably offended by profanities in the chat, I know I am.

4:46 am

Atalante

mrp, you would be the first person to have a hissy fit if someone swore in front of maddison or luke on the chat log. I couldn't give a flying pig how much you swear, but this isn't an adults only chat log, as much as you try adn make it so

4:47 am

mrpresident

how much to I swear?

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

Hi alll. Enters waving white flag. Chrissie, I just adore your icon!

4:47 am

Norma

Hi herin n all other babblers... mrp n lickety we love you ... but in Uk I think it is an age thing ... my age group finds the 'f' word offensive but the younger ones use it with abandon

4:48 am

ChrissieDee

thank you sally

4:48 am

mrpresident

oh, that is right... the grid accepts cu4 etc, and that isn't a problem for you all to keep going on with this game.

4:49 am

ChrissieDee

lol, I hate typing the words like that in the grid

4:49 am

Atalante

think about meaning and intent

4:50 am

mrpresident

I said what I said, apologised, and am now being slain for it! haha! All in context indeed...

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Um puts my hand up I am the naughty one too.

4:50 am

LoriP

G'd morning Sally

4:50 am

Atalante

you're the one keeping the argument open. let it go.

4:51 am

mrpresident

this grid accepts derogetory words, swear words, nazi-ism etc, and I am wrong??? ha

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Lori. Shall we talk about the weather? :-)

4:52 am

Atalante

*sigh*

4:52 am

Norma

White Flag ... White Flag .... rofl

4:52 am

ChrissieDee

sun is shining here :)

4:52 am

TraderKate

TODAY IS NUTTY BUDDY'S BIRTHDAY

4:52 am

Norma

Sun is shining here also Chrissie ;o)

4:52 am

Haz1558

Can I make a point since I was the one who left because of the language?

4:52 am

LoriP

Sun, what is this sun you speak of?

4:53 am

mrpresident

sure haz

4:53 am

LoriP

There Sally, some weather chat! :p

4:53 am

Atalante

sun here toooo!

4:53 am

Norma

I will send you some Lorip if you can figure how to bottle it lol

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

It worked then :-)

4:54 am

Haz1558

One of the reasons I enjoyed babble so much was that on the chat log, people couldd discuss all sorts of things and when I started there was a sefl-imposed discipline that swear words etc were not used - out of courtesy not just to children but to those of us who don't use that language ourselves. I'd be very disappointed if babblers couldn't keep up that tradition of sefl-control and courtesy.

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

Always a safe subject.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Is that too much to ask?

4:55 am

LoriP

Sally, not so sure about that..... :)

4:55 am

o-o

Hello, Haz

4:55 am

Haz1558

Good morning, BabbleRabble.

4:55 am

mrpresident

oh hell. yes it is.... the word 'phat' is out there... is that now a word we can't use cause it is self-imposed discipline to not be a gangster?

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

Trying very hard not to get drawn in, Lori :-)

4:56 am

Haz1558

I think it is courteous not to use it in chat. The English language is a rich one indeed, why use gutter words?

4:56 am

sprite

morning all, sorry I couldn't update themes yesterday, I couldn't access the site. Back to the now from of now.

4:56 am

mrpresident

and 'dago'.... that will get you killed in this country... should I lay down and have people spit on me when my kids get mob attacked?

4:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning, sprite.

4:57 am

o-o

Hello, sprite

4:57 am

Atalante

oh here we go, diatribe.

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sprite

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo Sprite. Nice to see you back, by the way. Haven't had time to chat this week.

4:57 am

Haz1558

You're being hysterical, mrp.

4:57 am

mrpresident

you make little sense... this in english. it is broken glass now and many people use words to mean minute things.

4:57 am

sprite

*hugs babble friends and keeps eyes on grid*

4:57 am

Atalante

well said

4:58 am

mrpresident

ok haz, but you are the one who had the hissy fit and left

4:58 am

Buttonman

It is more than English. It is gutter talk and it is not needed on the grid. Get a life and move one.

4:58 am

Norma

Haz n Mrp please shake hands and drop the subject

4:58 am

sprite

hi Sally :)
Glad to be back. Was worried yesterday about puter, but whatever it was, it was only on some sites and not on all.

4:58 am

Atalante

she didn't! she very politely said she'd rather not hear that language

4:58 am

Haz1558

Your definition of hissy fit and mine are different. I stated my point, though not in as much detail as I should have, and withdrew.

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

Oh come on, Haz didn't have a hissy fit. She just said she would come back later.

4:59 am

ChrissieDee

definitely not a hissy fit from Haz

4:59 am

Haz1558

I don't see why I can't speak up and tell you when your language is out of order for this chat log.

4:59 am

Atalante

hers is an Australian hissy-fit

4:59 am

ChrissieDee

sun still shining here

4:59 am

Buttonman

Definitely not

4:59 am

mrpresident

just stop it you lot... get some stitches to heal your wounds and take a pain-killer.

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

lol Chrissie.

5:00 am

sprite

with word lovers as we have gathered here, it shouldn't be too hard to find words that are within the boundaries of common courtesy.

5:00 am

Haz1558

I can't begin to understand what you're talking about, mrp.

5:00 am

pam

I find this interesting, as I have to "curb my mouth" around different audiences all of the time. And often apologize and move on--like MRP. But I would love that this passion about words translated into those used so offhandedly 'round the world that promote hate and war.... I think this escalation in chog shows the power of all words....

5:01 am

mrpresident

you should be ashamed of yourselves... it was a joke. if you knew anything of Australians, we like a joke.

5:01 am

Atalante

I think she's drinking again. or something.

5:01 am

herinfernallady

Ok Guys. Step back from the Chog for 5 min please and breath. Go and take a potty break and accept that we are all different. I am not on anyones side but please stop it

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Well sprite, if we all peppered our real and online conversations with words because they are allowed in the grid, we would make some interesting sentences.

5:01 am

Buttonman

Bad nasty joke

5:01 am

pam

I will see you all later--must to work go.... Have a great day/evening.

5:01 am

mrpresident

oh thanks Ata... drunk rant... that is your excuse for everything (you must have experience in that)

5:02 am

sprite

bye pam :)

5:02 am

mrpresident

well, it was a joke! now I am being crucified! lovely

5:02 am

Atalante

it was a joke. shoudln't you get over it? pot meet kettle

5:02 am

sprite

that was not what I suggested, Sally, lol

5:02 am

LoriP

We've seen this many times before, and there'll be no rationality, just a ehads up there.

5:02 am

sprite

so... don't you all love my autumn colours?

5:02 am

LoriP

G'd mornin' sprite. Laters Pam, good luck with 'yer jam packed day.

5:02 am

Haz1558

Please, I don't want to start a war over this. I just objected to mrp using what has always been seen as unacceptable language in this chat log. I merely wanted to draw a line in the sand and say, this isn't on.

5:03 am

Buttonman

talking about words, why don't we all get back to the grid and help eachother?

5:03 am

Haz1558

Are you stuck, Buttonman?

5:04 am

ChrissieDee

good idea buttonman - can I get help with an e from the top left corner for nbt please

5:04 am

LoriP

Good call Buttonman. For example, the kids want breakfast, and I say they just had breakfast eysterday. How many meals do kids need per week?

5:04 am

sprite

With you on that, Haz, this chat is a nice place to be when we all stay within the rules.

Buttonman, exactly. Let's play and help eachother.

5:04 am

Atalante

give them gruel

5:04 am

sprite

depends on their age and size, I'd say, Lori.

5:04 am

mrpresident

and here comes the judge

5:04 am

LoriP

Gruel, I like it!

5:04 am

mrpresident

when do the jury and executioner enter??

5:04 am

Buttonman

Yes, I am having trouble with the first ca 7

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

Well I just spent ages looking at the first tr 4/4 word (you know, the one you find in a wood), and thinking that those four letters can't possibly make a word!

5:05 am

sprite

lollll Sally. I know the feeling.

5:05 am

LoriP

lol sprite... anyhoo, brekkie and lunch packing, back in a bit.

5:05 am

ChrissieDee

can I get help with an e from the top left corner for nbt please

5:05 am

sprite

hm I think I will go out with my girl for a bit. Will be back later to have fun with babble, babblers and words.

5:06 am

o-o

be well, sprite

5:06 am

sprite

thanks babbleRabble, you too.

5:06 am

mrpresident

choose your fights people... I didn't start this... you picked on me.

5:06 am

Buttonman

5:07 am

ChrissieDee

no ca7's here yet

5:07 am

Haz1558

ca7/40 - made a fleeting appearance in a brooch.

5:07 am

Atalante

ooo good clue

5:07 am

ChrissieDee

ty Haz

5:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

5:08 am

o-o

en 5 and 6 --- intestinal flush

5:09 am

ChrissieDee

ty BR

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, ty BR

5:09 am

Haz1558

Not what you imagine thanking someone for!

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz

5:10 am

mrpresident

I make a joke and Haz gets upset and Fmitch backs up the upset and Ata seconds it and BANG!
Now I am ignored... hmmm. doesn't take much in this chat

5:11 am

Atalante

lmao wondering how long that would take

5:11 am

Atalante

you're not going to keep the argument going, mrp. drop it

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

mrp, a small suggestion. Go and make a coffee or something, come back and talk about something else.

5:11 am

mrpresident

ata, I don't care for it either

5:12 am

mrpresident

sally, I don't care for this either

5:13 am

mrpresident

how is it that people I have 'known' for years are being cold???

5:13 am

Buttonman

Everybody else has moved on mrp, let it go and move on

5:13 am

Atalante

she won't, buttonman. we'll have to put up with this till she goes to bed

5:13 am

Eva

Just signed on and am confused and dismayed. Is it possible that the individuals who are having difficulty with each other could email off the chat log . Doing this in a group makes it much harder to work things out.

5:14 am

Buttonman

thanks Haz, I finally found the ca 7/36

5:14 am

Haz1558

Well done, Buttonman, I wasn't sure that it could be past tensed, but it always pays to try anything.

5:14 am

Buttonman

THen lets all ignore it and work on the grid. I would rather help others than listen to fussing.

5:14 am

Atalante

good idea

5:14 am

ChrissieDee

nbt and 100 words left, good time to take a break, happy babbling all :)

5:15 am

mrpresident

oh good idea... ignore your friends

5:15 am

Haz1558

Bye ChrissieDee.

5:16 am

mrpresident

button, that is a typical man response... ignore the obvious and work towards the big picture

5:18 am

mrpresident

ata, I am not drinking, I am not taking medication... do yo have something you need to say?? Cause you are implying stuff that I am not happy about

5:19 am

Atalante

yes, I very much need to say that I can't find any C's!

5:20 am

mrpresident

Well, perhaps I can help with that

5:20 am

Haz1558

The ca7/40 isn't the first c7, it's ca7/36.

5:21 am

mrpresident

there are 39 c's

5:21 am

mrpresident

there is a co9 that comes off gthe co8 after it

5:22 am

Haz1558

ca7/36 - begin like Julius, end with start of bottom sounding planet.

5:23 am

Atalante

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Nice clue Haz. ty

5:26 am

mrpresident

5:26 am

mrpresident

5:28 am

mrpresident

5:28 am

Eva

5:28 am

mrpresident

5:29 am

Eva

5:29 am

Eva

sorry-feel like a dunce

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

Try the anagram, Eva!

5:30 am

Eva

have that sally. It

5:30 am

mrpresident

oh dear... not a co9 but a co6... hit the wrong key

5:30 am

Eva

it's the co8/9 that feels like it must be right there and yet I can't see it

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

I'm puzzled by your clues, mrp. There aren't any co8's in today's puzzle, are there?

5:31 am

mrpresident

co6 - copied

5:32 am

mrpresident

just looked again... the 9 is es9 and does not come off an 8

5:32 am

Atalante

I need some tea. brb

5:40 am

LoriP

***tea? Pah. Where's the java?*** :p

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

*sulks and puts on coffee pot.

5:41 am

5:42 am

Nef

Morning all. I didnt start yesterdays' puzzle because of wrok; today I have another 12 hour day and I *did* start this grid. What kind of fool AM I?

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

You don't really want an honest answer to that do you Nef?

5:42 am

mrpresident

no ks in my list

5:43 am

Atalante

I've been ill enough with swin flu this month without puking all over the log with coffee allergy!!

5:44 am

Uneaixoise

ata!

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

No help to anyone else, but the Ka7 is an alt spelling of a much-beloved cat I had, so named because she was like the wind - you could never find her.

5:44 am

herinfernallady

OH Ata. I didn't realise. Can I make a cheeky Halloween suggestion?

5:44 am

Uneaixoise

oh, must change to fall leaves -- BRB

5:44 am

Atalante

have you heard about Agassi, Une?

5:45 am

Atalante

mais oui!

5:45 am

meera

got ka7, thx

5:46 am

Atalante

what a lovely name

5:46 am

mrpresident

Kids are about to go to sleep. Will go read with them. Night all :))

5:46 am

Nef

Sally, thanks for the cheeky answer! ;-D

5:46 am

o-o

Be well, mrp

5:46 am

Sally-catlover

*grin* Nef. I do have time problems with some of these very long grids.

5:47 am

Eva

weird-never saw that k before-odd alt spelling of th desert winds which blow from Egypt into Israel, but would never, from the real word, have thought of spelling it that way!

5:48 am

JBV

good morning and thank you for your beautiful words of wisdom today, Babble Rabble, very meainingful for me

5:48 am

Uneaixoise

just read the NY Times article re Agassi . . . wow

5:48 am

herinfernallady

Night Mr PRes. Hi babs

5:48 am

LoriP

lol, define real world Ehva...

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

No, I spelt my cat's name with the letter I, not the double vowel.

5:48 am

Atalante

I know!!

5:48 am

o-o

Good day, JBV and herin

5:48 am

Atalante

didn't want to play tennis, crystal meth ....

5:49 am

o-o

Firefox version 3.5.4 has been released

5:49 am

LoriP

meera, did you get the other k4, and 4/5?

5:49 am

Atalante

does it actually work decently? unlike th current release?

5:50 am

Nef

I usually don't start grids over 180 in size on work days. I've got to leave in about 45 minutes from now; and by the time I get home again, eat supper, check on DH's day and his Aunty's day; it will probably be close to 9 or 10 PM here and the grid switches at Midnight (when I'll be fast asleep, hopefully)

5:50 am

meera

have ka4/8 and the winds...not the others nor the co -distinction

5:50 am

Eva

I wonder why Agassi decided to make this public - whether he wanted to come clean for himself, or it was going to be exposed by someone else?

5:50 am

meera

still left with 100 words! new to babble

5:50 am

Uneaixoise

ata: "I was actually excited about telling the world the whole story." WTF!

5:50 am

it's in his soon to be released autobiography

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

co distinction? Think you were misled by mrp there. I have all the C words, and none that matches that.

5:52 am

Eva

Yes Sally-I gave up on looking for that one when I found the es9.

5:53 am

meera, expect odd words in grids, just to preserve 'yer mental ehalth.... :)

5:57 am

Uneaixoise

sally, i think she was confusing the grids -- maybe contrast from yesterday's?

5:57 am

Haz1558

You're very disciplined, meera, you haven't fallen into addiction like some of those here.

5:57 am

Atalante

Hello, JBV.

6:00 am

JBV

hi herin

6:00 am

Eva

morning JB. Good to see another early US waker

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I saw a family yesterday with their kids, being seen for "well child visits." We always ask about exposure to cigarette smoke as it is a health hazard for kids. Mother said, "My boyfriend and are quitting. we haven't had a cigarette all morning." It was 11 AM.

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

hey, jbv :-)

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Hi JBV

6:00 am

JBV

i'm up at 6:00 - usually read my newspaper first, with coffee,but they've been delivering it late , upset my whole routine

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

lol Scrabs.

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

jeezomeez, scrabbs . . .

6:01 am

Scrabbler

The addiction comment made me think about that

6:01 am

Carolryberg

My family is looking for babble rehab for me.

6:01 am

Haz1558

And were the children looking healthier already?

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Hi amnyone i mised

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Doesn't that annoy you, JBV--I am very stuck on my routines

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

haz LOL!!

6:01 am

meera

u all seem to be real veterans at this....

6:01 am

Eva

This time of year I tend to wake between 4 and 5. Sometimes can go back to sleep. And the time change will be upon us this weekend. UGH

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Why do people choose to smoke inside and around kids is beyond me and royally PO me off

6:01 am

Haz1558

Tell them to save their money, Carol, put it towards a more deserving cause.

6:02 am

JBV

i'm considering dropping the subscription - who needs all that depressing news int he a.m. anyway?

6:02 am

crosshair

scrabbs,wife and i both quit in 2002.our boy was showin signs of developing asthma at that time..funny it all went away and he hasnt needed a puffer since;))

6:02 am

Sally-catlover

When my Dad used to visit, he would say that he would blow his pipe smoke up the chimney - as if that improved the smell!

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Carol, introduce them to Babble, or tell them it is making you smarter and fending off dementia

6:02 am

Carolryberg

I have alsready addicted my sister and daughter-in-law.

6:02 am

Haz1558

meera, some of us have been playing babble for years. I realised that one reason I like it is that I get a surprise every morning when the word total comes up.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

yay for quitting, Crossy!!

6:02 am

Haz1558

I don't get out much.

6:03 am

Atalante

she lives in a bog, you know

6:03 am

Nef

Please help. I need a clue for that 4th row, right column "S" and one for the middle column, 2nd ros E so I can have NBT before I go to work.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Parents always say "Yes, we smoke, but only outside", yet the exam room reeks of tobacco smoke. Poor kids.

6:03 am

Eva

It's not "choosing" herin....it's addiction. And yes, one can say that there is always a choice, but most of us have some area where we are unable to do what we know is right for us and others. I was a 2 and 1/2 pack a day smoker, but luckily was able to quite 30 years ago, but I can remember just now hard that was

6:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, with the cranberries and the mosses.

6:03 am

crosshair

iand i dont know who started the rumor of babble being addictive cause that bunk as ive quit many times;)

6:04 am

Atalante

oh yes. and the Irish hares

6:04 am

Eva

exactly crossy!

6:04 am

Haz1558

sa4/5 - equivalent to (for that s tile)

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, Billy is still critically ill, receiving dialysis. we are praying for a recovery

6:05 am

Eva

irish hares?

6:05 am

crosshair

i think of billy every day and pray for him and his family

6:05 am

herinfernallady

Eva. Its called outside. We don't smoke in the house. Its rude and gross

6:05 am

Scrabbler

TY, Crossy. Tell him to fight and take baby steps to recovery.

6:05 am

Eva

Good point herin. Especially with children

6:05 am

Haz1558

es4/4 - lots of snake letters (for Nef's e)

6:06 am

crosshair

lol,i can remember smoking inside hiospitals;)

6:06 am

Eva

me to cross

6:06 am

Nef

Haz, I had that word. That and so many others I've tried come from the 4th row "S"

6:06 am

Eva

an in airplanes

6:06 am

herinfernallady

Its just one of my things that really PO me off

6:06 am

Nef

Thaks for the E clue, Haz! :-) One more tile now

6:07 am

herinfernallady

That and drinking around kids

6:07 am

lynxxx

sk4.8... as in a type of band

6:07 am

Eva

They would have a smoking and non-smoking area, but what difference that was supposed to make when trapped in an airless tube I never understood.

6:07 am

Haz1558

I see what you mean, Nef, I have three from that s tile so far but trying to work out which they are.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Many of today's words were in yesterday's grid.

6:08 am

JBV

time for me to run - good luck everyone, see you later

6:08 am

meera

i jst discovered it last year....though prefer to do the smaller grids - 290 and all is way too much

6:08 am

Haz1558

sa4/4 - cheek, incorporating a donkey

6:08 am

lynxxx

em4&5 (mispelt!) Australian flightless bird

6:08 am

herinfernallady

Then again I am also one of those people that don't talk on my mobile in cafes or on trains if i do i cover my mouth

6:08 am

Haz1558

I'm the opposite, meera, I rubbed my hands with glee at yesterday's total. Like I said, I don't get out much.

6:09 am

Nef

Re: smoking. I'm amazed as people who smoke outside don't realize how much their clothing brings the smoke back inside with them. Minnesota is a big no-smoking state (you can't even smoke in hotel rooms now; they have smoking areas outside of the hotels I noticed this weekend!)

6:09 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Meera, as I prefer 150 words or so. But the big grids are fun because I can find so many words easily even if I don't plan to finish.

6:09 am

herinfernallady

Well I try not to be the stinky one

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, just found the es9. Reminds me of crocodile warnings in Australia.

6:10 am

Nef

thanks Lynxxx and Haz. Off to work I go!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Clue, please, Sally?

6:10 am

o-o

be well, Nef

6:10 am

lynxxx

sm6.21 plural of sm5.12 when you put on lipstick badly

6:10 am

Eva

I gave up trying to finish grids about a year ago. It was feeling too much like work. Now I just do what comes relatively easy and have fun with it.

6:10 am

Atalante

because so many words are like crocodile warnings in Australia .... LOL :P

6:10 am

Sally-catlover

I love the fact that we can go out to eat now withoiut coming back with our clothes reeking of smoke.

6:10 am

forwardbyfaith

can you clue the es9 - i've been looking for it forever

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi fbf

6:11 am

Eva

do they have public spider warnings in Australia too?

6:11 am

Haz1558

The smoking ban in public places is relatively new over here. It has made it much more agreeable to go out for a meal, for instance, because you're not going to get smoked upon. I still can't get used to the sight of hordes of people standing outside in the cold and rain puffing away. From a distance it looks threatening or something.

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

Well, Ata, when we first saw this warning we thoiught they might rear up and we should keep our arms inside the car!

6:11 am

o-o

es + et ** Brute + oleo: marg*****

6:11 am

lynxxx

es****y is a waterway..finish in the end on the fork part

6:11 am

Atalante

as an asthmatic very sensitive to smoke, the bans have made it possible for me to go out to supper or to pubs etc, so I'm very grateful for it!

6:11 am

forwardbyfaith

hi scrabs - just plugging away here at half way

6:12 am

crosshair

the last big hurdle here was smoking in bars and pubs..was 3 or 4 years ago i think.what a war that was!

6:12 am

Atalante

very senseible, sally. just in case :P

6:12 am

Scrabbler

TY, BR, great clue!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi BR + Lynxxx

6:12 am

forwardbyfaith

ty BR - I was so close but had the ending wrong

6:12 am

herinfernallady

eww smoking around food

6:12 am

lynxxx

hi Scrabbs

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I am up to 70 and can stay another 15 min or so

6:13 am

crosshair

last year they banned smoking outsie hospitals,no more people hobbling out for a smoke

6:13 am

Haz1558

It's quite sobering to hear from my friend who's a midwife, that she can tell, just by looking at the placenta, whether the mother is a smoker or not.

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

Really Haz? How? Colour, size?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Yep, smaller with fewer blood vessels

6:14 am

Haz1558

Smaller, bad colour, just generally poor looking. I was amazed.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

That's why babies born to smoking mothers are smaller--starved of nutrition

6:15 am

Haz1558

And the ghastly thing is that some mothers depend on that to have an easier birth.

6:15 am

meera

gotta go, thx and will be back tom for more!

Hello Nono.

6:17 am

Atalante

hi nono

6:18 am

NonoNanette

was reading some of the comments about smoking bans, Crossy it was a big hub hub here as well when smoking was banned in bars and pubs, all the owners said it would close them down, but guess what.... they are all still open and doing as much business as ever if not more

6:18 am

Scrabbler

rain is heavy here and sump pump is going off every few minutes--I hope it keeps up

6:19 am

NonoNanette

oh gosh Scrabbs lots of heavy rain i take it?

6:19 am

Haz1558

Is there a manual option, Scrabbler? You can get your exercise and keep the water at bay at the same time.

6:19 am

herinfernallady

I do say one thing that irritated me about the smoking inside ban was they closed down a Cigar bar. Now the Air con in that place was so fantastic the air was cleaner than in the city

6:20 am

Haz1558

It has started to get a bit 'Big Brother' here as well in that tradesmen are being told not to smoke in their own vans.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Hazel! I have hd flooding twice when the motor burned out--bailing with a bucket. Not fun. I currently do not have a spare pump.

6:21 am

Haz1558

And people who were having fire prevention visits by firemen were told not to smoke for several hours before they arrive so that their 'workplace' wasn't contaminated.

6:22 am

lynxxx

good exercise for your canoeing though Scrabs

6:22 am

Scrabbler

My only blank tile = corner E. Any help please?

6:22 am

Haz1558

Get a spare pump, Scrabbler!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Good idea, Lynxxx!

6:23 am

NonoNanette

clean out the intestinal track for that e Scrabs

6:23 am

Haz1558

BR was profusely thanked for providing intestinal flushes (en5 and en6)

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I should, Hazel. Last flood was August 2008 when old pump died, and spare was installed.

6:23 am

Nef

lynxxx en 5 is something you DON'T want from a nurse. (heading out the door now)

6:23 am

Sigh. think I should go back to bed and start all over again!

6:26 am

Haz1558

And a tr5/12 to keep in a hernia.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Of course I must find "just 1 more word."

6:27 am

lynxxx

sounds like a good idea Trif

6:27 am

Scrabbler

This too shall pass, Trif. Someday you will be able to laugh about today.

6:27 am

Haz1558

You owe it to yourself, Scrabbler. One more word.

I needn't give lectures, daughter no 2 was home for the weekend and managed to forget her phone charger and another item. I had to post it to her and was nearly tempted to include some other goodies but thought that wouldn't be good for my strict mother image.

6:33 am

Haz1558

But they can't vote - the Irish, I mean. It's brainless teenagers, I'm afraid.

6:52 am

Atalante

they can bribe northern irelanders

6:53 am

Haz1558

I doubt whether they'd get any votes from the north. We loathe that sort of 'showing off' of no talent.

6:53 am

Norma

Do you think the more Simon slags them off the more people vote for the underdog ??

6:53 am

NonoNanette

what is being voted for, sorry I have no idea who these twins are

6:54 am

Atalante

unfortunately, yes. people keep them in to see simon get annoyed

6:54 am

Norma

Nono ... they are an 'act' on our XFactor

6:54 am

Haz1558

Be very glad, Nono. Another talent contest, and these hopeless twins with not a note in their head nor a dance step in their feet, have somehow managed to stay in while more talented people have left.

6:54 am

gramma

If I could get a hint for the top E then I can get ready for work. Please?

6:54 am

NonoNanette

oh I see

6:54 am

Haz1558

en5 and en6 - not what you want to hear prescribed.

6:55 am

NonoNanette

its a hint you wont like gramma but try an intestinal flush

6:55 am

cu later

6:55 am

Atalante

they are truly truly awful

6:55 am

Norma

And pluralise it .... OUch ... lol

6:55 am

NonoNanette

that they are!

6:56 am

Haz1558

And then I sometimes wonder if they're there so that their awfulness gets people talking. (Did you like correct use of there etc, a la grammar nerd labels)

6:56 am

Norma

Did you see that they had the highest number of votes of all the acts....

6:57 am

lynxxx

Lol - they are funny, they can't sing! But very polished and styled

6:57 am

Haz1558

I like it. Ata talks about the twins being awful and Nono agrees, except she's thinking of en6.

6:57 am

Norma

Must go have a good day Babblers

6:57 am

Atalante

I was just wondering how Nono knew!

6:58 am

lynxxx

bye Norma

6:58 am

Atalante

they are an entertainment act, if that, but not singers

6:58 am

Haz1558

Bye, Norma.

6:58 am

NonoNanette

lol guess i better bow out of this conversation for now

6:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, but the entertainment lies in seeing them as a comedy routine.

6:59 am

Haz1558

No, don't go, Nono, it was just a funny mix-up!

6:59 am

Atalante

yes!

6:59 am

Atalante

no!

6:59 am

Atalante

yes! no! no don't go!

6:59 am

Haz1558

Make up your mind!

7:00 am

NonoNanette

oh, I'm not leaving, just not going anywhere just going to keep quiet and hunt down some more words in the grid

7:00 am

Atalante

I just suddenly realised that the "yes" could be an answer to Nono's "I'd better go" LOL

7:00 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, the grid. I need to give it a bit of a shake.

7:01 am

Atalante

grid? what grid?

7:01 am

Haz1558

<--------------------

7:01 am

Atalante

ohhhhh yes, that grid!

7:02 am

Haz1558

That one.

7:02 am

Atalante

I'd better go and check on the pup for a bit. If I sit with her, she stops wanting to go out for a run for a while

7:02 am

herinfernallady

where is the grid

7:02 am

Haz1558

Right, time I was getting some other things done. I'll be back later.

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Ata can you play quiet games inside wiht her?

7:02 am

Haz1558

Does the grid be on the other side if you're Australian?

7:03 am

lynxxx

bye Ata & Haz

7:03 am

Atalante

don't be nationalistic

7:03 am

Haz1558

Bye for now!

7:03 am

NonoNanette

later Haz and Ata

7:03 am

lynxxx

Yeah- its hard reading all the letters reversed, I do it holding a morror

7:03 am

Haz1558

No, i'm thinking of the upside down thing. My spatial orientation is rubbish.

7:03 am

Atalante

I will, later :) she had a quick walk round the garden this morning, and she'll have another in a bit :)

7:04 am

lynxxx

morror - horror! - mirror

7:04 am

Haz1558

lynxxx is inventive, you'd think she was descended from Einstein instead of Ata.

7:04 am

herinfernallady

Haz why do you think i lie down to do a babble grid?

7:04 am

Atalante

*gasp*

7:05 am

Atalante

she can't type!

7:05 am

Haz1558

Maybe the morror is the horror of the first look in the mirror in the morning. When you wonder how hair can ever look that bad.

7:05 am

Atalante

speak for yourself, my hair always looks perfect

7:05 am

herinfernallady

why do you think i avoid mirrors

7:05 am

lynxxx

I like morror

7:06 am

Atalante

I like Morro bars

7:06 am

Haz1558

I was at the hairdressers yesterday and it looked fine when I went to bed. This morning you'd have sworn I'd stuck my fingers in an electrical socket.

7:06 am

herinfernallady

Its things like Morro bars that have me in this situation now

7:06 am

lynxxx

Isn't that Moro Bars

7:06 am

Atalante

it's the only advantage of having really thick hair. I can wake up, run my fingers through my hair and it's perfectly ordered

7:07 am

Haz1558

My elder daughter is like that. It's sickening.

7:07 am

lynxxx

can you do the same with your husband Ata?

7:07 am

Atalante

it's great!

7:07 am

Atalante

but it does mean that I can have my a) in a ponytail, b) loose. the end.

7:07 am

Haz1558

She pats my head in pitying fashion and says 'Oh goodness, I can feel your head.'

7:07 am

Atalante

I wish!!

7:08 am

Atalante

no plaits, no hair styles, *certainly* no curls

7:08 am

Haz1558

Pat her on the head and all you get is a thatch of hair.

7:08 am

Haz1558

Okay, off I go to allow the wind to me4 my hair up even more. Byeee!

7:08 am

crosshair

lol ladies,after being bald on and off for the last 3 years hair dont mean much to me any more.hehe when it grew back in the 3rd time,it was in tight ringlets;) so now i just let the local first choice har cutters chop away at it once every 2 months:)

7:08 am

You both look lovely, jmc.

we don't have fall colors this year, there was an early freeze and the leaves died on the trees

jmcnrick

i grew up without fall colors in the south -- was always mistified why the teachers had us make red and yellow and orange leaves since i had never seen them

8:52 am

That is wrong, Harpjane. You should ask for a seasonal stimulus package.

11:26 am

Vicuna

I'm pretty pleased with it. We found fun fabric with little shiny polka dots all over that look sort of scaly.

11:27 am

Vicuna

I'll do my best!

11:27 am

Atalante

11:28 am

Vicuna

No, thank goodness I've managed to brainwash the darling against pink!

11:28 am

Atalante

noooo!

11:28 am

Vicuna

She does have pink wings, because they were a gift a while ago. But the top is green with sort of leaf shapes around the arms and waist...

11:28 am

Atalante

aha! an elf fairy

11:29 am

Vicuna

and the skirt is blue and yellow - her princess skirt from last year's costume being re5-d, and a garland of yellow flowers and green and blue ribbons.

11:30 am

Atalante

awww lovely. they are lucky to have such a creative mother!

11:30 am

Vicuna

a flower fairy, more or less

11:30 am

Vicuna

I enjoy making the costumes, but one of these years they're going to have to start learning to make their own!

11:31 am

Atalante

next year definitely. start em young!

11:31 am

Vicuna

Have you any excuse for dressing up? (I don't, alas.)

11:31 am

Aloyisius

boo, Babblers!

11:33 am

Vicuna

Generally I've been the designated walker, but there's been talk that they want Dad to do it this year, in which case I'll be home manning the door with Reese's peanut butter cups.

11:33 am

Vicuna

Hello, Aloy!

11:34 am

Vicuna

I mean, EEEK!

11:34 am

Aloyisius

hi Vicuna.. saw on TV last night that Snickers, Reeses, Milky
Way are the favorite treats

11:35 am

Vicuna

Reese's are my favorite of the standard candies. That's why we always serve them... so I don't mind having leftovers!

11:35 am

Atalante

snickers are the best

11:35 am

Aloyisius

lol.. love 'em too.. i bought snickers

11:35 am

Aloyisius

.. they were on sale

11:36 am

Vicuna

I like SNickers, too. Not so crazy about milky Way any more. I'm getting pickier in my old age.

11:37 am

Atalante

milky ways and mars are too sweet

11:37 am

Vicuna

I agree.

11:37 am

Vicuna

But you're the one who likes banoffee! lol

11:37 am

Aloyisius

agree, Ata.. prefer the dark choco taste in snickers

11:38 am

Atalante

always prefer dark chocolate :)

11:38 am

Aloyisius

um, what is banoffee?

11:38 am

Atalante

banana and toffee

11:38 am

Atalante

the most blissful combination ever

11:38 am

Vicuna

Me, too.
Oh, no, did I start it all over again? lol

11:45 am

rururocks

11:45 am

Aloyisius

Erda

WHOA is right - can you help me with the first re 6/18?

11:46 am

jmcnrick

that makes sense to me vic since it is clearly nonsensical to pt a piece of jewelry

11:47 am

Vicuna

Exactly. I wasn't misreading; I was being logical. It's all about context.

11:47 am

JesDreher

does anyone have a clue for the sa6/7?

11:47 am

Aloyisius

12:09 pm

12:09 pm

o-o

be well, Aloy

Aloy, was it you who gave it?

i had banoffee pie when i visited!!! it's great!!!!!

12:11 pm

flosey

ah, thanks Ata, can't wait to try it but will have to have someone who will help me eat it, lol

12:12 pm

Haz1558

But it's so sweet!

12:12 pm

Atalante

yay hurshy!

12:12 pm

Aloyisius

tummy grumbling now, lol.. poof!

12:12 pm

flosey

sure is!

12:12 pm

hurshy

are you trying to imply that that's a problem, haz?

12:12 pm

Atalante

I always make it on pastry base to kill some of the sweetness

12:12 pm

Atalante

plain pastry, not sweet pastry

12:12 pm

flosey

that's a good idea

12:12 pm

Atalante

or using rich teas

12:13 pm

Haz1558

Well, I have a sweet tooth, but banoffee is just a tad too much for me. I have had it done with oatcakey type biscuits and that helped a bit.

12:13 pm

FishFishGarden

70 left...going to Lickety

12:13 pm

flosey

or graham crackers?

12:13 pm

Haz1558

Hob Nobs might be good.

12:13 pm

Atalante

yes ... the base really does need to offset the rest a *little* bit

12:13 pm

hurshy

well, whatever restaurant i had it in... which was somewhere in the vicinity of camberley... made it very well, i thought.

12:14 pm

Atalante

Graham crackers would work

12:14 pm

Atalante

bound to, hurshy. it's the best thing ever!

12:14 pm

Haz1558

If Graham crackers are the same as digestive biscuits, then still a bit too sweet. Maybe you just need to be careful with proportions of toffee to banana to biscuits.

12:14 pm

hurshy

i think it was a graham cracker crumb crust, which would seem to me to be the most suitable.

12:15 pm

Atalante

they aren't quite as sweet, haz. kind of half way between rich tea and digestive

12:15 pm

o-o

beautiful colors, flosey

12:15 pm

o-o

howdy, hurshy

12:15 pm

flosey

thanks BR

12:15 pm

Okay, heading in the right direction with the Graham cracker option.

I always loved this time of year in Ontario but we're acquiring more reds out here lately

12:16 pm

12:16 pm

hurshy

i haven't found any co- (as a prefix) words... are there any?

12:17 pm

o-o

I found none

12:17 pm

Haz1558

Only if you count co4/6 as an abbreviation.

12:17 pm

hurshy

and have you found all the C's? (i suppose you've probably found all the words)

12:17 pm

hurshy

well thanks then, brabble and haz

12:17 pm

12:19 pm

Haz1558

And what delights do they offer?

12:20 pm

hurshy

a very rich mac & cheese... a grilled cheese sandwich with fancy cheese and ham if you want it, on thick brioche, cheeseboards... and some things without cheese but i always go for the cheese!!!

12:21 pm

Boobear

clue for ca 7 /36

12:21 pm

hurshy

hmm, i have a ca7/40 and a ca7/32, but not a ca7/36

12:22 pm

Atalante

mmmm cheese!

12:22 pm

Haz1558

ca7/36 - as seen in poetry. Begin with Julius, end with the start of a planet that sounds unfortunately bottom like.

12:22 pm

Haz1558

I like cheese, but it's beginning to not like me.

12:23 pm

Atalante

that's sad :(

12:23 pm

hurshy

very sad

12:23 pm

Boobear

that one is hard

12:24 pm

Haz1558

I know. Violins are playing in the background 'Lament for cheese'

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Does that mean you need another clue, Boo?

12:25 pm
