12:12 am

PAV3

we got a bit wet, just as I fell ill, so I'm now more miserable than before I started the meds...Phoenix is low enough to not get snow, but rain wreaks havoc on our desert drivers, and ill-formed roads...

12:12 am

jillibus

I saw it, dee, after my whine -- sorry!

12:12 am

rururocks

(big blessings?)

1:22 am

westford

but we were there 14 years ago

1:23 am

Farruska

oh 14 years ago Algarve was definitely quite different , Wes :-)

1:24 am

westford

we loved the end of the earth too

1:24 am

westford

can't remember the name

1:24 am

westford

Prince Henry was from there I believe

1:25 am

westford

Lagos?

1:26 am

Farruska

probably, but if you mention "the end of the earth" in Portugal, we associate to cabo da Roca, close to Lisbon, because of an excerpt from the "Lusiadas" that is in scripted there ;-)

1:27 am

westford

this was about 5 hours from Lisbon

1:27 am

Farruska

"aqui onde a terra se acaba e o mar comeÃ§a " = "here, where the earth ends and the sea begins" , Luis Vaz de CamÃµes - LusÃadas :-)

1:30 am

dcseain

Â¡ay, farruska, me encanta Ã©sta!

1:30 am

dcseain

1:32 am

lynxxx

1:32 am

jillibus

lol, flosey I actually found it tonight!

1:32 am

flosey

lol, and we have italian in-laws

1:32 am

jillibus

well, over halfway, but it's a struggle

1:32 am

dcseain

eu sei, farruska - mas o meu portugues nÃ£o e molto bem

1:33 am

dcseain

alas, no, lyn. but i had a lovely weekend in Boston with a friend.

1:33 am

flosey

7 to go here, and yes, it's been quite a struggle

1:33 am

dcseain

I lived in Spain as a youngster, and my native dialect is not unlike the Tras os montanhas dialect of portuguese

1:34 am

lynxxx

BBL

1:34 am

dcseain

hi, flosey. hasta, lyn

1:34 am

jillibus

I keep entering possible words only to find they're impossible

1:35 am

flosey

hi dc - when we visited Spain, they wouldn't let us use the bit of the language we had learned - they wanted to practice their English

1:36 am

Farruska

close, trÃ¡s os montes, my grandma and great grandma is/was from there ;-) That's a special dialect called MirandÃªs :-)

1:36 am

dcseain

yes, i ran into that there too, flosey. but since i speak both languages natively, it's only an issue for me when they bother to ask where i'm from, or here me translating for others.

1:36 am

dcseain

cool, thanks for that farruska

1:36 am

dcseain

agh, hear me...

1:36 am

Farruska

flosey/seain here is the opposite, I wish I could use english sometimes but nope, alles auf Deutsch bitte

1:37 am

flosey

interesting dc

1:37 am

dcseain

and at my last job, i learned that my dialect of spanish is barely mutually intelligible with the California dialects. I have to speak slowly for them.

1:38 am

grannyrose

hey dcs

1:38 am

dcseain

and they for me

1:38 am

Farruska

also, I lived in Barcelona and had to learn Catalan because of some (native) people at work who refused to speak english or castellano :-))

1:38 am

dcseain

hi, grannyrose :)

1:38 am

flosey

Farr, my daughter visited your city just before Christmas and loved it

1:39 am

grannyrose

) picking myself up from the floor ) himself has mown the back lawn, i was cultivating those dandelions, they were nearly 2 feet tall.

1:39 am

dcseain

i can read catalan, and understand it, but i speak it only marginially better than portuguese. I spent a summer in Barcelona. Lovely town.

1:39 am

jillibus

it used to be that in Quebec the francophones wanted to practise their Englsih, then it became "speak French", now I think the pendulum has swung back a bit althoug French must be predominant

1:39 am

dcseain

LOL rose

1:39 am

Farruska

Flosey DÃ¼sseldorf is specially beautiful with the Christmas markets :-) the whole city smells like cinnamon and cardamom :-)

1:39 am

dcseain

people about my age and younger that i've spoken with from Quebec speak English as natives, and read little French.

1:40 am

dcseain

yummy, farruska

1:40 am

flosey

sounds wonderful Farr

1:41 am

jillibus

1:41 am

Farruska

1:54 am

jillibus

Guess she would. What a rude thing to do, though!

1:54 am

flosey

I can remember when some of the students wore very 'showing' type blouses, etc - and short, short skirts, and wondered how the younger male teachers kept their minds on teaching

1:55 am

flosey

lol, hubby being one of them

1:55 am

jillibus

Well, I've run through Lickety and still have 47 unwords to find. Not liking this grid, or is it just me?

1:56 am

jillibus

Lol, about hubby, flo!

1:56 am

flosey

I was even having trouble with some 4 letter words jilli

1:56 am

flosey

1:57 am

dcseain

this one is a challenge, agreed

1:58 am

jillibus

3:38 am

Brookie

I hear that every day in Melbourne is lovely!

3:38 am

Atalante

3:38 am

Brookie

I have a good friend there that I talk to every day.

3:38 am

Brookie

Hi Ata!

3:39 am

lynxxx

lol, not quite!

3:39 am

Brookie

Except for that heat spell you went through recently, like a week ago.

3:40 am

Atalante

bet you're glad that's over

3:40 am

lynxxx

Yesterday was up there too but cool change last night - and rain!

3:41 am

Brookie

My son is doing his 4 a.m. crying thing again. Another 20 minutes before I'll get him.

3:41 am

Brookie

Does it rain often in Melbourne?

3:41 am

lynxxx

How old is he now Brookie

3:42 am

Brookie

Turning 2 next month.

3:42 am

Brookie

I've been dealing with the 4 a.m. crying for a week now.

3:43 am

Atalante

why exactly are you awake to hear it? :P

3:43 am

Andree

hi everyone

3:43 am

Brookie

Hi Andree!

3:43 am

lynxxx

No, we are the worst state for rain. Our dam levels are bad - though not as bad as last year. This Summer had had some fairly good rain

3:43 am

lynxxx

hi Andree

3:44 am

Andree

never mind brookie its good research for our book,lol

3:44 am

Brookie

That's right, the book... (and good point, Ata!)

3:45 am

Brookie

Has anyone found more contributors to the book?

3:46 am

Mudd

thanks for the mi clue ursh

3:46 am

lynxxx

no, but can help with the Dog one

3:47 am

Brookie

Tell me more about the dog book... missed that conversation.

3:47 am

Atalante

books? what how where when?

3:47 am

Andree

not a dog one we will all be miffed if our own dog doesn't make the front cover

3:48 am

lynxxx

lol, just 'invented' it Brookie

3:49 am

Brookie

True about the cover! There will be no cover, then. Just pages that can get all torn after time. Maybe the dogs will eat the books.

3:49 am

Andree

ata, haz i think is in charge , we are going to write a bringing up baby book, not the rubbish you get now

3:49 am

lynxxx

Ata, Brookie Haz & Andree are all writing a book on child rearing

3:49 am

Brookie

A 'tough love' and maybe a bit too tough type of book.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Music to my ears. Haz is in charge.

3:50 am

Andree

we will probably be advising brookie to use duct tape

3:50 am

Atalante

oooooooo. I'll help Lyn with the dog one ;)

3:50 am

Brookie

Hi Haz!

3:50 am

lynxxx

3:51 am

Andree

3:51 am

Haz1558

If that s were to disappear, half the silly shortened words would go as well.

3:53 am

Brookie

ata, pb for you. at 3:38 you said ooo lol

3:53 am

Atalante

ooo so I can feel smug that I've got to 25 left without the list?! OOO OOO OOOOOOO

3:53 am

Haz1558

Waves of smugness echo through babble land.

3:54 am

Haz1558

But admit it, it's still a stinker, isn't it?

3:54 am

lynxxx

I'm smugger - 19 left, no list

3:54 am

Brookie

all i have to say to you is another grid word today -- voodmpft!

Andree

4:12 am

Atalante

4:12 am

Brookie

son is up again, undeterred by duct tape threats, and it's after 5, so i'll get him now... will be lurking...

4:12 am

rubyfoo

why wasn't that around 46 yrs ago? whatever it is....

4:13 am

Haz1558

It was the inspiration for 'Rock a bye baby'

4:13 am

lynxxx

TY Haz - wonder if that is like BabRab's one

4:13 am

Atalante

Typical. Haz already had it, but didn't share with anyone else

4:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, didn't want to be accused of being a smarty-pants.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

started like gangbusters, 38 words and died!

4:14 am

lynxxx

lol

4:14 am

Haz1558

Besides, it doesn't count if you've thrown caution to the winds and consulted the list, does it?

4:15 am

Atalante

outrageous

4:15 am

Atalante

rubyfoo

4:19 am

Atalante

4:19 am

Haz1558

4:19 am

rubyfoo

4:20 am

Andree

Haz1558

It begins with ma, Andree.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

for the so7

4:20 am

Atalante

co7 - religious marks on punctuation

4:21 am

Haz1558

ma7 - hanging bed for nursing mothers.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

4:21 am

Haz1558

co7/52 - a shift in punctuation.

4:22 am

4:22 am

lynxxx

co7.40 , and thankyou

4:22 am

Andree

i did not like some enjioy nursing but never actually felt like hanging myself

4:22 am

lynxxx

4:23 am

Haz1558

Another co7/52 - the same as the preceding co7/40 (the sleeping patient with a nervous twitch), change the final letter.

4:25 am

Haz1558

And with that I go. Shopping to be done. Ugh!

4:25 am

Atalante

ugh! good luck!

4:26 am

Haz1558

4:26 am

lynxxx

Andree

4:32 am

Atalante

go go go!

4:35 am

Atalante

by the way, ruby, if you go into Your Account now and edit picture - you can replace the ruby.jpg with max.jpg - nothing else needs to change in the url. And then have a pic of max so you can alternate the two

4:35 am

o-o

I am so weary of these piddling grids

4:35 am

rubyfoo

thank you, ata

4:36 am

Atalante

this ain't the easiest grid, BR

4:36 am

4:39 am

Andree

4:39 am

Andree

more like self preservation

4:39 am

Atalante

no. sanity.

4:39 am

o-o

6:42 am

Soodle

For a small grid, it is not easy :(

6:43 am

jmcnrick

6:43 am

elder

6:47 am

jmcnrick

6:48 am

Soodle

6:49 am

jmcnrick

no tomato soup is pretty bare

6:49 am

Soodle

Hic. Pardon. My cupboard is bare. Bereft of soup, garlic bread. There is only a dodgy bit of cheese in the fridge, which is highly suspect.

6:49 am

Soodle

I better go foraging for food soon.

6:50 am

jmcnrick

cheese is mold so you can eat it

6:50 am

jmcnrick

canned tomatoes? you could make soup

6:50 am

elder

Spodle scrape off the yuck stuff and eat.

6:51 am

Soodle

thanks folks. You can rest assured I won't starve!!

Jayk

could someone pls clue the co 7/52s?

7:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

Like being in a vegetative state in the room at the top of your house

7:23 am

Soodle

JK, Think of a disabled person's lavatory, and change the second last letter.

7:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

That ws for Jayk

7:25 am

KatieMcG

ty Kaplan

7:25 am

Jayk

I got the top of the house--that's 7/40. Soodle, not seeing what you're clueing

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

You're very welcome- I had just monkeyed it right before you asked

7:26 am

Soodle

Ok Jk. Co plus double cons. The last five letters are MO 5/18 if you have got that far.

7:27 am

Jayk

good grief! what kind of word is that!?

7:28 am

Soodle

And the disabled lavatory is the same word - just replace the v with a d. (its not in the grid!)

7:28 am

Jayk

I suppose the other 7/52 is just as ridiculous?

7:29 am

Soodle

the other one is identical to the co 7/40 - just change the last letter. They sound identical.

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have that yet

7:32 am

Jayk

not there yet...monkeys are tired

7:32 am

Joanne123

ty soodle

7:33 am

Soodle

Do you have the co 7/40? The deep sleep and the noise a clock makes>

7:34 am

Jayk

got that

7:34 am

Soodle

Well just change the last letter to a high scoring one.

7:35 am

Soodle

Fireworks!!

7:36 am

Jayk

Thanks, Soodle! Finally! 6 left. This was a nasty little grid

7:36 am

redturtlehead

Good morning Babblers.

hi tc. Good ot see you.

7:44 am

redturtlehead

Nice! I can not imagine it being that cold!

7:44 am

Scrabbler

One starts out cold then the sweating begins--my shirt ends up soaked in sweat!

7:45 am

redturtlehead

It is great excersise.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

It sure is! But it doesn't seem like work because it's so enjoyable in the woods.

7:46 am

Jayk

thanks Red! Another astonishing discovery

7:46 am

BookGirl

sheets of ice here this morning. just saw a bird slide right off the end of a branch! LOL..

7:47 am

Gail

My car broke down last night and I had a nice invigorating walk home with dog and two tote bags in very cold temps.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Poor birdy!

7:47 am

redturtlehead

Oh Gail, that does not sound like a fun evening at all.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Gail---is your car still there?

7:48 am

BookGirl

gail...sounds miserable...

7:48 am

Gail

No, it was towed to the shop. I was just three blocks from home.

7:48 am

redturtlehead

THat is good to be three blocks, but still, not very fun....

7:48 am

Gail

My son walked over and sat with the car until the tow truck came, dear man that he is.

7:48 am

Scrabbler

I hate car problems! And problems with health, computer, etc...anything that disrupts daily life

7:49 am

Gail

It's a 21 year old car, bound to have some issues once in a while.

7:49 am

redturtlehead

Me too Scrabbler, they cause me a great deal of anxiety...especially the car stuff...

7:49 am

Gail

But it's a Volvo, runs forever.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

21 yrs old! How many miles? My father taught me to drive my cars into the ground but I get a new one at about 200K miles.

7:50 am

redturtlehead

I think Gail you probably have also maintained that volvo well...

7:50 am

Gail

I had been to a book sale at the library in the morning, had a big bag of books to tote home. 160,000 miles on the car and yes, it is well maintained.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Red, so you are a planner, like me--we don't like uncertainty

7:51 am

Gail

I plan to get a newer one this summer, may move that plan up a bit.

7:51 am

Gail

I get very attached to my cars when they run well like this one did.

7:51 am

Scrabbler

My Subaru is at 113K--hoping to keep it for another 4-5 yrs.

7:51 am

redturtlehead

Generally, I am a saver as well. I find that Money solves many problems easily.

7:52 am

Gail

I think it's the dog hair and rust that holds this car together at this point.

7:53 am

redturtlehead

I have a new Prius. I am maintaining it perfectly, and hope it lasts a long time, at least a few years longer than the loan anyway.

7:53 am

BookGirl

ooohhhh gail...now you're talking! A bag of books!

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I am determined to create an emergency fund and car fund so that I can buy next car with cash and no loan.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Gail.

7:54 am

Gail

I can't pass up a good book sale.

7:54 am

BookGirl

smartt plan scrabbler. haven't had a car loan in years, very freeing!

7:54 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I didnt intend to have a loan, but my paid off car sort of exploded....

7:54 am

Scrabbler

I am a bibliophile too, Gail

7:54 am

Gail

Aren't we all? I still have to unpack that bag and gloat over them again.

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Car explosion = not part of the plan, huh?

7:55 am

redturtlehead

Books, Nice!

7:55 am

BookGirl

Ah yes, the joy of a whole bag of book adventure...

7:55 am

redturtlehead

It was really awful, Scrabbs last April, with my Car loaded down for the big move, it had a massive timing belt ripped off on I 95.

7:55 am

Scrabbler

I am almost done reading "The Poe Shadow" by Matthew Pearl.

7:55 am

redturtlehead

so I had all this stuff in the car, etc...

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Poor Red!

7:56 am

Gail

The thing about this breakdown was that I actually took a different route home and would have broken down on a busy street instead of the side street I was on. Oh, I had that timing belt issue years ago on the way to Boston.

7:57 am

redturtlehead

Well, It's over now. So, alls well that ends well, it was an ancient car anyway.

7:57 am

BookGirl

just finished reading Left to Tell about the Rwandan holocaust...good, but now for something happy!

7:58 am

Gail

If you like mysteries that are really well written, read books by Louise Penny. She is soooo good.

7:58 am

redturtlehead

Oh I think I may need to head to the library. I have been mostly doing mysteries still.

7:58 am

Scrabbler

I have a huge shelf of books to attack but must decide what is next. I usually read one fiction + one non-fiction at a time.

7:58 am

Scrabbler

I will check her out, Gail

7:59 am

Gail

She is Canadian and her characters and settings are so alive. And she is almost poetic. I would read her shopping lists if I could.

8:00 am

Aloyisius

oodle was coaching me as I have never dehydrated bananas before.. started yesterday morning

8:39 am

ardilla

brb...left kettle on...whoops

I am going to get some bananas and try it myself and see how long it takes

8:43 am

oodleberry

well I feel badly... but it has been6 years since I last dried them.... i had to in fort lauderdale cause they repened much too quickly

8:44 am

Aloyisius

ironically, we have a dehydrator up North - will have to bring it down

8:45 am

oodleberry

ah...I didn't have one that's why I used the oven and since I was going to move here I didn't see the need to get one and then have to get rid of it before I moved here.

8:45 am

9:44 am

Trifioso

there have to be cheap flights somehow, right?

9:44 am

ardilla

if she gets a chance, she should visit croatia...beautiful beaches

9:45 am

ardilla

once you're in europe, ryanair has cheap regional flights

9:45 am

Trifioso

I just can't help but wish I had done that when I was a student - never had the chance....sleeping in the same jeans for six weeks, back packing everywhere....

9:46 am

Anniebrook

Trif, that is exactly what my daughter did when she graduated from college..

9:47 am

ardilla

The mugger said "that's it? $2?" wilton said yes, that was all he had, and the mugger said "DUDE! get a JOB!" and walked away, disgusted.

3:26 pm

redturtlehead

but now I have 33 to find...

3:27 pm

Nef

hi red. I still have 27 left to find. I'm glad you had a nap. Have you started your new job yet?

3:28 pm

Good Enough

oh a nap *turning green with envy*

3:28 pm

redturtlehead

Monday I start orientation. and then...work, it sounds as if it will be almost identical to the last hospital, all the computer systemsa re the same etc.

3:29 pm

Nef

thathelps. Not having to learn a new computer system will be very nice!

3:30 pm

Hi fuquay. How are you?

3:31 pm

3:33 pm

fuquayvarina

thanks, red. must get back to it soon, but giving myself a 15 minute reward

3:33 pm

Nef

MM, the O has to do with ear; the K is like the Japanese drums

3:34 pm

fuquayvarina

movie, one of the K words is like the kampground chain (do they have those in the UK?)

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

Hi movie, think of the american Campgrounds of America and plural it for the K.

3:34 pm

fuquayvarina

help with other k?

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

3:35 pm

Nef

3:39 pm

fuquayvarina

I had no idea until I looked it up. Probably will forget it by tomorrow, sadly...

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

congratulations Kari!!!

3:40 pm

fuquayvarina

yay kari!

3:41 pm

welki

(that was my last word, too, kari)

3:41 pm

Nef

we once went to the Mpls Institute of Art and the had the Japanese drummers playing there. I have loved that music ever since

3:42 pm

kje

hi all

3:42 pm

fuquayvarina

hi kje

3:43 pm

kje

red - I met the puppy today... she is adorable! very sweet, loving... likes to just come sit with you and lean her head on you... and quite pretty

3:43 pm

Nef

hi kje

3:43 pm

welki

here's a pic of a ko4 http://tiny.cc/HM3Pv

3:43 pm

welki

kje .. adopting puppy?! good news!

3:43 pm

Nef

Wow! That's beautiful!

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

So you got her? Great!!!

3:44 pm

kje

no, they won't release her until Monday... shelter rule that they must hold a dog for at least 3 days to see if an owner shows up

3:45 pm

redturtlehead

but she will go to you on Monday?

3:45 pm

kje

and one other person showed up to check her out... a family with 2 elementary age kids (one boy one girl)

3:45 pm

fuquayvarina

back to the grind. later, gators

3:45 pm

welki

that sounds like fair policy ... i'm surprised that they'd show her to potential owners before her waiting period was up

3:45 pm

kje

the shelter said they will review the apps and let us know on Monday...

3:46 pm

Nef

bye fuquay

3:46 pm

kje

but I overheard the shelter lady say she likes to give animals to "real families with children"... so I guess I am not real... I am bummed

3:46 pm

welki

when adopting a pup these days, it's the applicant who must beg and do tricks

3:46 pm

kje

it is welki - and honestly, i found it annoying

3:47 pm

redturtlehead

definitely. I find it easier to now just find a pup through friends. Or in my case, Teulu came from a Horrors, breeder, because I had a certain desire.

3:47 pm

welki

some shelters carry it too far

3:47 pm

kje

well red, I thought I HAD found it through friends... until said friends went and turned her in

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

A breed rescue would have never let me have him as I have no back yard....

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

yes kje, thats just awful..

3:48 pm

welki

once, while visiting a promotion for a cat rescue, i offered to adopt two, a pair of adult cats that probably were brother and sister. they wouldn't adopt out both of them, insisted i take only one ... so i took none.

3:49 pm

welki

au contraire, red ... the gal who runs my favorite rescue takes ALL things into consideration. i have a tiny backyard and already had a dog when I approached her about murray (a border collie) ... i shook in my boots about the home visit, but it went well. she knows that our dogs get exercise outside the backyard

3:51 pm

welki

maybe it'll work out on monday and you'll have a new little girl monday night ... "real" families with kids often adopt spontaneously and, if the one they "want" isn't available, they'll go to the next dog

3:51 pm

redturtlehead

When I went to adopt a Golden from the local Golden rescue they told me they would only give me a Golden that was 8-10 years old. It does depend, but based on where I was, I could not get them to budge. A 10 yr old Golden wasn't what I felt I wanted...given that this is the end of their life span.

3:52 pm

kje

she was such a calm quite puppy, I think she'd be better in a home without a 9-ish year old rambunctious boy... just my opinion

3:52 pm

welki

i'd have a rough time with that, too (the folks who adopt/rescue/foster older animals are truly going to heaven)

3:52 pm

redturtlehead

kje, I think you just want her, and I hope you get her!

3:53 pm

redturtlehead

I would have loved to have a 5 yr old dog, but the ten yr old would have been so terribly expensive immediately, they all had cataracts and special needs.

3:53 pm

welki

the (shhhh) breeder that gave us baxter also prefers to let her dogs go to families, but we had a good long talk and i convinced her that a dog couldn't possibly have a better home than ours (the spoiled brats :)

3:53 pm

kje

I'll let you know Monday... I'll either be very happy, or too depressed to babble ; )

3:54 pm

welki

were you looking for a particular breed, kje? (because i could always give my rescue friend a shout and see if she's got any contacts in texas)

3:54 pm

redturtlehead

I did spend a lot of time with my breeder and I was going to adopt an older "retired female" but they wanted a huge amt of money for her and she did not interact well with me...

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

I think kje really just wants this particular girl...

3:55 pm

welki

then i'll be sending good thoughts down south for monday :)

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

Funny thing is that when I did get a yard, Teulu refused to spend any time in it, he is such a peoples dog.

3:56 pm

kje

not a particular breed... though there are some breeds I really like... I have wanted one for awhile and I just felt I would know it when I saw it... and she is it

3:56 pm

pablo blanco

can anyone help with the ma7?

3:57 pm

kje

I suspect the same with this one, red... very much a people person. More interested in the people than the kittens who were there with her

3:57 pm

welki

sort of like the netted thing you tie between two trees to take a nap in, pablo

3:57 pm

redturtlehead

like the rope bed used for relaxing, but with an M pablo.

3:58 pm

kje ..... just read back in the chog ....... I really hope you get that puppy. Please put the outcome in your profile. (I might not be on here on Monday) I wish you all the luck in the world.
