1:36 am

ddb4nana

for the 7/32 you can take the 4/5 before it and end it with the number before ten without the n...does that make any sense at all?

1:37 am

ddb4nana

it is a very strange word

1:39 am

rururocks

haven't figured that out yet

1:40 am

flosey

that sure is a strange word

1:40 am

ddb4nana

2:01 am

ddb4nana

very hard to clue, flosey...there are three vowels in the middle...after the te there are two vowels that are the same then it ends in a consonant...bad clue, but see if it helps.

herinfernallady

4:57 am

herinfernallady

It is right there I just can't be arsed moving

5:05 am

sandyloo

I love fresh fish - we have a great seafood store near us, it sells all west australian seafood - no asian stuff(loaded with heavy metals)

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

I love it too, sandy. We had some great fish when we visited Oz. Where we live is pretty far from the sea, but we have a good fish man that comes to the market every week.

5:08 am

sandyloo

Tomorrow night we are burning our big bonfire here at the farm. People coming over and I am doing a big platter of seafood- crayfish, prawns, smoked salmon, crabs, chilli muscles yum yum

5:08 am

herinfernallady

Bothers me we have the best meat and seafood yet we get stuck with second grade crap as ours get exported

5:08 am

sandyloo

fresh ceduna oysters

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

Not keen on the oysters, sandy, but the rest ... *looks up instant flights to Oz*

5:09 am

herinfernallady

mmmmm Sandy

5:09 am

sandyloo

these oysters are lovely, not the big yucky ones but little firm and fresh!

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

But you eat them raw, right?

5:10 am

herinfernallady

fresh from the rocks

5:10 am

sandyloo

we do! with a lovely sauce that Nicky makes- I can hardly wait, I love fires!

5:12 am

sandyloo

Herin, have you been to the Sydney fish markets- I love it there!

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

I have sandy!!

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Um no I am in melb

5:14 am

sandyloo

did you love it Sally, we always go there when we go to Sydney

5:15 am

sandyloo

Herin, my son is in Melbourne at the moment, I wish he would come home, I worry about him

5:15 am

herinfernallady

why?

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

We adored it. A friend who was Australian suggested we visit. Got the bus out I think. We had just under a week in Sydney and bought one of those explorer tickets, so went everywhere on boat, bus, tram, and foot!

5:16 am

sandyloo

he is living in Fitzroy and doesn't like the guy he is living with and is going to move etc etc

5:17 am

sandyloo

Sydney is fantastic, but you need more time - jus tlike everywhere you go on holiday I guess!

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

Am finding today's grid quite hard. Is it just me?

5:18 am

sandyloo

No, it is a chore, I had to go to lists when I had only 25 words

5:19 am

FMitch

The co's and i's are a bit of a challenge.

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, we only had about three weeks total holiday. Spent a week with relatives near Sofala, the other side of the Boue Mountains, then flew up and spent some time seeing rainforest and barrier reef, and one night up in Kuranda. A memorable holiday.

5:19 am

sandyloo

We always walk across the bridge and have lunch then walk back and look in art galleries there

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry not Boue but Blue!

5:20 am

sandyloo

We travel a lot in aus and I just love everywhere we go. I am so lucky to live in this country!

5:20 am

herinfernallady

Fitzroy is ok

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

Were you born in Perth sandy/

5:20 am

herinfernallady

As a Melbourneite it is my duty to say Sydney sucks.

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

Not been to Melbourne so can't compare :-) but we loved it, loved the light on the water everywhere.

5:23 am

sandyloo

I know where you are coming from Herin. and yes I was Sally. Our family are pioneers of this state. They owned sheep stations where we spent our school holidays- I just love Australia- and that means all of it!

5:23 am

sandyloo

There is a Sydney - Melbourne rivallry!

5:23 am

herinfernallady

It is just a Melb v Syd thing. I love Sydney but apparently it has to be done

5:24 am

sandyloo

LOL Herin - One of the things I love best about Australia (and I have travelled a bit overseas) is the food and restaurants

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Tony's cousin had a sheep station in Sofala (which we visited) but they have now retired to Gulgong. Would love to go back, and now we have the time, but the journey is not something we could do now - husband had an accident last year and couldn't do it.

5:25 am

JBV

good morning everyone - catching up on chat, thanks for the travelogue! one day maybe, I will see the other side of the world

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

I loved the open air thing. Everything is done outside, and we can very rarely plan to do that here.

5:26 am

herinfernallady

O and the coffee

5:26 am

herinfernallady

Sally that isn't good about hubby

5:26 am

sandyloo

no it's not Sally, is he ok?

5:26 am

herinfernallady

aww I just got owned

5:27 am

Sally-catlover

No, herein, it's been a bad year but things are improving although he is still partially disabled.

5:27 am

herinfernallady

Damn Sally.

5:27 am

sandyloo

My husband is a US cit and we have been to the states ....but I didn't like the food (sorry)

5:27 am

sandyloo

Can we ask what happened Sally?

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

I have visited the States just once, to California if that counts :-)

5:29 am

sandyloo

We drove from Florida to the Pochonos which was great. We also have been to LA

5:29 am

herinfernallady

neverbeen outside of Aus

5:29 am

JBV

Sandy you came close to your "cousin" city - Perth Amboy, where I work.....

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

What happened? Well he had a heart bypass last April and was recovering well, but got up suddenly in the night and the tablets he was on made his blood pressure plummet so he blacked out and fell forward over the bath, hit his head and nearly broke his neck. I rushed in to a bath full of blood! He totally lost the use of his hands for quite a while (and I mean totally) but he is making progress. Many people worse off and all that. He can now drive which is good.

5:31 am

Sally-catlover

His legs are also affected, but just a bit wobbly really.

5:31 am

JBV

oh, my sally - glad to hear he is recovering -

5:31 am

sandyloo

OMG that does sound bad,I hope he will continue to improve - it must have been so hard for you and scary!

5:31 am

herinfernallady

oh for the love of all things pink and fuzzy Sally that is terrible.

5:32 am

sandyloo

Where is 'Amboy' JB?

5:32 am

Sally-catlover

Good job our bathroom is big, I think there were 8 people in there at one time (ambulance, paramedics, etc)

5:33 am

JBV

Perth Amboy is a small city in New Jersey (population about 45,000) - nice waterfront (Raritan Bay, opens on the Atlantic) and interesting colonial history

5:33 am

sandyloo

You poor thing! I hate things like that! It is very stressful

5:34 am

sandyloo

We stayed in New York for a while but didn't get to visit New Jersy.

5:34 am

sandyloo

Jersey

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

He has been very courageous about it all, especially the weeks he spent absolutely flat on his back and unable even to feed himself. I would have gone spare.

5:34 am

JBV

next time, Sandy, I'll give you the 30-minute tour (you can see it all in that time)

5:34 am

sandyloo

Sally, how did you cope with all of this? Are you OK now?

5:35 am

JBV

How about you, Sally, do you have help? or are you the primary caretaker?

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

I'm fine, though I did get a bit stressed. We have help in the garden now once a week which is a great boon, and we have some amazing friends round here. And I have Babble!!!

5:36 am

JBV

yay for Babble! helped me through some similar stresses and challenges, Sally - good friends, good chat helps a lot

5:38 am

JBV

Sandy - if you have any friends or relations in the education business and if they are interested in a class exchange with a Perth Amboy group, let me know, I have teachers that would love to have email or real mail pen pals

5:39 am

sandyloo

I love that about Babble , there are times when I have really appreciated the support

5:39 am

sandyloo

JBV- how interesting! My daughter is a school teacher

5:40 am

sandyloo

She would be interested in that sort of thing I'm sure

5:40 am

JBV

I wonder if they know about the "Flat Stanley" project - it's a character in a children's book, they send him on air mail journeys around the world and he comes back with pictures and stories from children in other places, very cool

5:41 am

sandyloo

JB, My email address is on my profile - can you send me your contact - Diana is teaching in Broome at the moment but I would like to put you in touch with her

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

I love the sound of the Flat Stanley project.

5:42 am

sandyloo

so do I, and I know Diana would too!

5:42 am

JBV

you can contact me at jbv909@gmail.com

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

Just found a very strange co7

5:43 am

JBV

care to share the co7 - I'm going nowhere with this grid

5:43 am

JBV

ok, sandy - I will send you an email which you can forward to your daughter

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

co* = against plus double vowel plus abbreviation for North East

5:45 am

sandyloo

5:45 am

herinfernallady

OMG I still have Flat Stantly

5:45 am

rubyfoo

I believe Stanley got squished that is why he became flat

5:48 am

sandyloo

must have deleted it accidently

5:48 am

sandyloo

please email me JB (I think we must be about the same age)

5:49 am

rubyfoo

I never heard of Flat Stanley, but what a wonderful idea for school kids!

5:49 am

rubyfoo

hello sally!

5:50 am

sandyloo

it is isn't it>

5:50 am

Sally-catlover

Not busy with your visitors, ruby?

5:50 am

rubyfoo

how cold is it there? They predicted snow here for today and naturally, ignoring local wisdom, I put my tomatoes in two weeks ago.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

Fiasco yesterday. We thought our friend as arriving in Geneva via London yesterday, drove to the airport (45 min) in rain, waiting more than an hour after his plane landed, gave up, came home, called his wife and found out he was leaving Miami yesterday, arriving today.

5:51 am

sandyloo

LOL Ruby, I think it is freezing here (i know that wasn't directed at me, I'm just cashing in) it is about 6 degrees celcius here at night at the moment

5:51 am

herinfernallady

OPPS Ruby

5:52 am

rubyfoo

isn't that very cold for there, sandy?

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

Our outside thermometer shows 13 deg C at the moment, but there is a very cold wind. We had sleet briefly the other day, and are having some very cold nights, down to only just above freezing.

5:52 am

sandyloo

Poor Ruby, I hate airports

5:52 am

rubyfoo

today, he can take a cab or a bus if he can find it.

5:52 am

Atalante

hello hello from dial-up land!

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, no ruby!

5:52 am

herinfernallady

ATA

5:53 am

sandyloo

very cold Ruby, we have just finished a summer with lots of 40 degrees and this is literally happened in one week- from airconditioning to heating

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Cat on my foot

5:53 am

sandyloo

Hi Ata

5:53 am

rubyfoo

since 9/11 I am very spooked about airports and Geneva is pretty scary as, although small, it is full of scary-looking people

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

Re tomatoes, I would believe your local wisdom :-) We are quite high up here (not mountains, but hills) and I wouldn't put certain things out yet.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

yay for ATA! Everybody misses you and asks about you!

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Ata! How's the leg? How are the Scillies?

5:54 am

sandyloo

Our cat has just been riding around the farm with me on our four wheeler motorbike - I took him on it as a kitten and now he loves it

5:54 am

rubyfoo

if there is no frost, they should be OK.

5:54 am

Atalante

got another 4 days in dial-up hell before normlaity resumes!

5:54 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute, sandy!

5:54 am

Atalante

leg is painful! scillies are cold and wet! :) but still my favourite place ever

5:55 am

rubyfoo

is it chilly in the scillies as well?

5:55 am

sandyloo

he is gorgeous- a seal point siamese with lots of attitude

5:55 am

Atalante

Hobbit's been learning to ride round on the back of a friend's golf buggy round the island

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Lovely, sandy. One of our cats used to spend hours draped round my neck like a furry boa.

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Don't give Hobbit ideas, Ata, he will expect that when he gets home.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

if Ruby draped herself around my neck, I'd collapse in a heap!

5:56 am

sandyloo

Ata, you broke your leg - is that right? when you were on holiday?

5:56 am

herinfernallady

my rat bag cat just jumped off the couch on my foot.

5:56 am

Atalante

she has been SO spoilt here. Everyone loves her

5:56 am

sandyloo

no you pulled some tendons?

5:56 am

Atalante

didnt break it - tore one of the ligaments, which is probably worse *rolls eyes*

5:57 am

sandyloo

are you still trapped on the island?

5:57 am

rubyfoo

yes, at least once they set a bone, that's that!

5:57 am

Atalante

yep, though got out for a boat trip yesterday which was *lovely*

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Take that leg into the PB, Ata!

5:57 am

rubyfoo

does that mean the next Olympics is out for you? And the Tour de France?

5:57 am

herinfernallady

Ata what about SIlly ?

5:57 am

Atalante

that leg doesn't move anywhere, even to the PB LOL :)

5:57 am

sandyloo

ooh I hope you don't miss the Tour!

5:58 am

sandyloo

Love that Tour! but they should show all of the races , not just a section

5:58 am

Atalante

the more worrying thing is that it *might* just mean no Nepal trip with Liz next spring. We'll see ... hopefully not, but they don't know yet whether I've hurt it badly or very badly

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Ata what did you do with Silly?

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

Fingers crossed for you, Ata. Spring is a long way ahead.

5:59 am

sandyloo

Hope it gets better - I guess it's important to rest now and let it heal properly

5:59 am

Atalante

she's in her favourite cattery

5:59 am

rubyfoo

here they show almost every minute, Sandy, and last year it went right below my house and through our little village in the individual time trial (which went around Lac d'Annecy)

5:59 am

Atalante

it is, but I'm meant to be gettig fit this year, not sitting around in a plaster cast :P

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Is this a Silly friendly place?

6:00 am

herinfernallady

Hey Can I do Nepal from Aus?

6:00 am

Atalante

we went to see the Tour when it was in England. Amazing to watch. All 10 seconds of the riders zooming past!

6:00 am

rubyfoo

I put up signs and stuff on our lawn, but they went by so fast there was only a glimpse on the TV

6:00 am

Atalante

sure you can, herin. I think, anyway!

6:00 am

sandyloo

No fair Ruby! They just show the last couple of hours here, I get so frustrated

6:00 am

sandyloo

I love those signs Ruby

6:01 am

Atalante

we get the whole races too

6:01 am

rubyfoo

the time trial is better to watch, because it's one rider at a time, starting with the worst ones and ending with the best.

6:01 am

herinfernallady

interesting have to look into it.

6:01 am

sandyloo

It is but I like it when they fall off (I'm bad) and they generally don't do that on the time trials. LOL

6:01 am

Atalante

one year I want to go and watch Alpe d'Huez

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I made a huge bicycle and put up a huge "allez lance" sign on the hege with American flags and bunting

6:02 am

sandyloo

I love watching the scenery

6:02 am

rubyfoo

about 7 years ago, it came very close, and I got a good look at Lance on his way down from the Col de la Forclaz, near where our housekeeper lives

6:02 am

sandyloo

How fantastic Ruby

6:03 am

sandyloo

I do admire Lance

6:03 am

rubyfoo

it is my favorite thing - 3 weeks of 4 hrs a day

6:03 am

Atalante

isn't the noise they make amazing as they ride past?

6:03 am

herinfernallady

Ata I would love to have done the ride around Viet Nam for charity

6:03 am

sandyloo

I drive my family mad - i'm the only fan

6:03 am

rubyfoo

plus, it's like a very long French lesson, and each year, I learn some more French and how to listen faster.

6:04 am

Atalante

there's so many amazing charity events herin

6:04 am

rubyfoo

I love it, but can't watch it in crowds -- not a crowd or noise person

6:04 am

sandyloo

I have to cook the dinner now - I'm getting hungry

6:04 am

sandyloo

I have to cook the dinner now - I'm getting hungry
bbl

6:04 am

rubyfoo

there is one commentator, Jean-Paul Olivier, who is quite old now but does the "color" and dewcribes all the chateaux and gives the history

6:04 am

sandyloo

I like it on tele - but I would love to go on a camping trip when it is on (that is camping along the way in France)

6:05 am

herinfernallady

later Sandy

6:05 am

rubyfoo

bye sandy! I'll look for my Tour photos and send them your way!

6:05 am

Sally-catlover

6:05 am

sandyloo

6:05 am

sandyloo

6:07 am

Atalante

as you drive into Canterbury, the road markings from the Tour are still just about visible in one section. I love it

6:07 am

Atalante

as you drive into Canterbury, the road markings from the Tour are still just about visible in one section. I love it

6:07 am

herinfernallady

laters ER on soon'

6:08 am

rubyfoo

were they for Cavendish? He's a darling

6:08 am

rubyfoo

and talented

6:10 am

Atalante

nooo they just left the official stage start markings on the road. but on the day there were Cav signs and banners everywhere

6:27 am

Merk

What a grid! Yuck so far.

6:27 am

Merk

But a bright good morning to you all.

6:29 am

Merk

I would like to order a g next one of the n on the right side, please.

6:30 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Merk. the ic words are useful.

6:30 am

Sally-catlover

Add ic to everything and you'll be fine.

6:34 am

Merk

I've learned to always appreciate them teaming up.

6:35 am

Merk

I am stuck on the co 8. Do you have a clue please?

6:37 am

Merk

Oh, I just got it. Why didn't I see that one?

6:37 am

Sally-catlover

By the way, there are two co8s.

6:37 am

Merk

Perhaps if I had gone for the 6 first ... and had a cup of coffee.

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

(Just to depress yu)

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

Anyone need any clues? Just going to get myself an early lunch.

6:39 am

Merk

co 7 please

6:39 am

Merk

The first one.

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

co* = against, plus I have a ***on on my bed instead of blankets, plus a vowel (then plural)

6:40 am

Merk

I beg your pardon?

6:41 am

Merk

I think I'll make coffee and read that clue again. LOL

6:41 am

EspritdJean

I got it

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

Good Jean. Not sure how else to clue it.

6:41 am

Merk

I didn't because I can't think of 'against'.

6:41 am

Merk

Oh, I see, that is a consonant.

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

Think pros and ***s

6:42 am

EspritdJean

maybe a japanese type of folding bed for that second part

6:42 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, silly me, of course, was muddling with duvet. Do apologise.

6:42 am

Merk

Oh yeah.

6:43 am

Sally-catlover

Have you got it now Merk?

6:43 am

crosshair

its the bedding part thats stumping me

6:43 am

EspritdJean

not actually bedding but a type of bed

6:43 am

Sally-catlover

Think lightweight folding wooden slats

6:43 am

EspritdJean

good for small apartments, use as couch then bed

6:44 am

Sally-catlover

Much loved by students, and desperately uncomfortable to sleep on :-)

6:44 am

crosshair

got it ty

6:44 am

Merk

It's too early in the morning. My daughter had one in her dorm room in college and I cannot think of the word for the life of me.

6:45 am

crosshair

ive not slept in one ,but i have slept on an old fold out,the kind with the bar in the middle of yer back

6:45 am

EspritdJean

those are brutal

6:46 am

Sally-catlover

OK, try this. Chinese philosopher was co***cius. Change that last cius to two other letters.

6:46 am

crosshair

better to sleep on those sideways and let your feet dangle on the floor

6:46 am

Merk

Well, I have it. ty so much. They are not comfortable to sleep on, I'll vouch for that. My daughter's bed was up on posts and the thing was under it instead of a sofa.

6:47 am

Merk

I hae not heard of either of those 7s before.

6:50 am

Merk

My c tile is filled in and I'm glad of it.

6:50 am

crosshair

im sorry clue the second c7 again please

6:51 am

Merk

It is such an odd word. It has the same beginning as the co 4,5 but double the final consonant.

6:52 am

Merk

It's last five letters are like a number word that hiccups with an extra vowel in the middle.

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

The second one? co* = against (as before) followed by double vowel, followed by abbreviation of North East. Means poison from hemlock apparently.

6:52 am

crosshair

ty sally

6:53 am

crosshair

new one for me

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Me too. Had to use morewords for that one.

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Lori

8:19 am

Atalante

Sitting here with inane grin on my face now so happy to see you.

8:19 am

Uniquity

Look who thinks she is Mark Twain!

8:20 am

Uniquity

Hm, is PB scrubbing Haz's responsibility as chief of pollice and cleaning madwoman, or FM's as PB tender? **ponders**

8:20 am

Atalante

could be worse. could be Poe

8:20 am

FMitch

Haz isn't online atm

8:20 am

LoriP

You people are really interfering with my self pity. :p The force is strong in you people!

8:20 am

Atalante

well text her!

8:20 am

LoriP

Poe, gah! Hide the razor blades.

8:21 am

Atalante

exactly. Twain is an improvement :P

8:21 am

LoriP

Haz would be appalled at the condition of the ceiling. I say we solve the problem by covering it with posters.

10:43 am

sciencegeek

ruby - are you okay today?

10:43 am

rubyfoo

his friend gave us his departure date as his arrival date, so we spent 3 hrs at Geneva airport yesterday.

10:43 am

TraderKate

my chog has been very strange today.. it does not like to take my input. and it lags a lot too

10:43 am

CiociaJudy

Oh no Ruby!

10:44 am

rubyfoo

yes, geek, I negotiated a detente, and things are much better and will have to do. It would be like putting an unwanted dog on the side of the road!

10:44 am

TraderKate

i hope that the time differences have been taken into account. did he not give you a flight number or airline?

10:44 am

rubyfoo

I've been having lag, too, I thought it was my bad French server!

10:45 am

rubyfoo

yes, yesterday's BA flight and it was on time; he just wasn't on it!

10:45 am

rubyfoo

I think his friend didn't realize that if you leave on the 5th from Miami, you arrive in Europe on the 6th.

10:45 am

sciencegeek

4 left : one t and 3 co's!

10:45 am

sciencegeek

I am going for the list for these blasted last 4

10:56 am

11:03 am

11:03 am

sciencegeek

there is no flute or clarinet here

11:04 am

Sally-catlover

co 7/48: co* = against + the Japanese sleep on a ***on plus final vowel

11:04 am

TraderKate

alt. parsing of co 7/8:
slang for prisoner + first 3 letters of a bed/sofa convertible (popular with students and hippies) + vowel ...then plural for the 8

11:04 am

rubyfoo

I'm going to have another drink; husbqand must be stumbling around the train station looking for his friend while I'm keeping the home fires burning!

11:04 am

Judi

Take the L out of one of those, sciencegeek, and you'll have it.

Riverdance

11:11 am

Judi

11:11 am

sciencegeek

yes,m it dont see the word in the grid

11:11 am

sciencegeek

makes me *angry*

11:11 am

Sally-catlover

OK, take the three letters short for Edward, which might be the name for your little bear, and put a double vowel in the middle.

11:12 am

sciencegeek

dont see a te* together - the * is at the bottom of the grid no where near the te

11:12 am

Judi

Te + double identical vowel + 4 letter of alphabet.

11:12 am

Sally-catlover

Second row T

11:12 am

11:13 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, the te is a lizard

11:13 am

Judi

Sciencegeek, if you don't get it after being hit with that flying brick of a clue, there's no hope for you!

11:13 am

Sally-catlover

Also needlecase alert.

11:13 am

Boobear

11:14 am

car.eeyore

Sorry...the single H word in the lower 1st collumn....

11:14 am

Sally-catlover

Thought you were going to ask for a clue for the te!

11:14 am

Judi

Which H word, caree? The Hy?

11:15 am

car.eeyore

I have hy 6

11:15 am

Judi

He6 + plural: slang for tooshes.

11:15 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds like the laughing dog animal with hiccups

11:15 am

car.eeyore

TY! Thought I had tried that one!

11:16 am

Judi

Fair warning, there's a Co7/32 word that uses that same double vowel in the middle. It's pure evil.

11:18 am

Judi

Okay. I'm outta here. My brain is full. See you kids tomorow! *POOF*

11:18 am

Sally-catlover

bye judi

11:18 am

LeslieAnn

11:21 am

TraderKate

11:22 am

TraderKate

He was limping since last Friday, GG. Not in any distress, but quite lame. The vet said he had bone cancer and if left untreated, he would have had a horrible death. The kids and me are just bereft.

11:57 am

12:37 pm

co* (a type of fish) + a 2 letter word that means perhaps or maybe + the sometimes vowel for co 6/39. Plural for the co8/65.

12:38 pm

Uniquity

Then, the criminal or co* man + for ***ur* reference, this is the second co7 (pluralize it for the 8)

12:38 pm

Nancy Boy

12:46 pm

Nancy Boy

12:46 pm

Ormal

I'm wonderful. Kids are at school, and I have no chores or errands to do, so afternoon is mine for a little longer. :D

12:47 pm

Nancy Boy

ahhh, there is nothing more precious than free time...daydreaming is a luxury I miss :)

12:48 pm

Ormal

why should you miss it?

12:48 pm

EvaNadine

ive missed you this week, dearest. :)

12:48 pm

Nancy Boy

because usually there's a thousand and other more productive things to be doing!

12:49 pm

Nancy Boy

oh I know Eva. if only there was more of me to go around ;) no, thanks, that's so sweet! I've been busy this week - hanging off Leo since he has to go away for a week soon

12:50 pm

EvaNadine

aww, wheres he off to?

12:50 pm

Ormal

Babbling is as close to alone time I've had in well over a year.

12:51 pm

Nancy Boy

Up North - something to do with work. All the way to Leeds! The North, basically, is a different country..

12:52 pm

Nancy Boy

Ormal - really? I don't generally get babble time alone - Leo takes great pleasure in coming up behind me and smugly listing all the words I've missed ;)

12:52 pm

Riverdance

Riverdance

I have that one - guess it the second one then

1:01 pm

Joanne123

1:01 pm

Ormal

hy6 is like clean cross hyg****

1:01 pm

Riverdance

nasty aussie animal called the laughing Hy*** but change the last vowel to an ending that is common through this puzzle

1:02 pm

Joanne123

un and the pac.... ocean

1:02 pm

Nancy Boy

just one big bag Eva, I generally manage to slide into the overhead lockers ;)

1:02 pm

EvaNadine

oh, i believe it, NB -- from those pictures ive seen, i think i need to feed you well if ever you come to visit!
:P

1:04 pm

Nancy Boy

I think you can feed me what you like but I won't grow in the direction I want - UP! lol

1:04 pm

crosshair

ty was the last letter that threw me

1:05 pm

crosshair

if you head that far nb,come up here for a day and ill fill you with one of my famous canadian north woods breakfasts

1:06 pm

EvaNadine

crosshair

1:07 pm

Nancy Boy

I would like to see what this breakfast business is all about. It's been a while since I've been up early enough to enjoy it ;)

1:07 pm

Riverdance

and you know NB - you will pass through my area on the way to Crossys so must stop in for a big Mom ((hug))

1:07 pm

crosshair

nb,for shame,breakfast is THE meal of the day

1:08 pm

EvaNadine

oh, im sure youre up at the right time -- you just think of it as the end of the night instead of the beginning of the day. ;)

1:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, and my phantom for the day is fruition

1:08 pm

Nancy Boy

Aww Mom! I would love to do that - go on a hugging tour of the states ;)

1:09 pm

crosshair

thats right eva,he should be nice and perky at 06:00 EST :)

1:09 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! Eva and Crossy...Eva's right; 6 is when I normally get in. Beginning of the day...huh. For the birds maybe.

1:10 pm

crosshair

i think nb is 6 hours ahead so it will feel like a nice brunch for him

1:10 pm

EvaNadine

<---- gets up at 6am for work

1:11 pm

Nancy Boy

now brunch I do ;)
Eva...I have to run get a cup of tea, to steady myself from the shock of that

1:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

<----- gets up when wakes up

1:11 pm

crosshair

i used to get up at 05:15 when i was running my own station

1:11 pm

crosshair

:/

1:11 pm

crosshair

see/ gwen has the right idea

1:11 pm

EvaNadine

and by "gets up" i mean something more like "drags Eva-resembling corpse out of bed that doesnt actually awaken until about noon"

1:15 pm

Nancy Boy

oh my god Crossy...my eyes are watering. I'd have a lot of problems with that...

1:16 pm

crosshair

was nasty

1:16 pm

EvaNadine

i get up at 6 so that i can be at work by 7:30. then i leave work at 3:30 and am home by 4:30.
thats time to take my fashion photos and cook dinner by the time dear Chris gets home (at about 5:30).
then we have the whole evening to do anything we want. :)

1:17 pm

crosshair

need a rug rat or 2 to fill those idle hours eva:))))

1:17 pm

Ormal

wakes up every morning at 4:20 when hubby gets up, immediately rolls over and goes back to sleep, since I usually don't go to sleep until 2:00-4:00. Gets back up at 6:20 and starts the day ruefully.

1:17 pm

Nancy Boy

which I guess would be sleep, Eva! LOL

1:17 pm

EvaNadine

not yet -- i still have chris. ;)

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

i normally dont get to bed until 10 at the earliest... usually 11 or so.

1:18 pm

Nancy Boy

If I've been working one of the big night shifts, I generally get in about six, six thirty in the morning...go to sleep, get up at noon, go for an hour's run and then see what portion of the day I have left before going to work again ;)

1:19 pm

EvaNadine

i dont run unless something is chasing me.

1:19 pm

Ormal

lol eva

1:20 pm

crosshair

lol,last time i ran i think bush senior was doing his thing or regan,can never remember..anyways ill run if someone is shooting at me but that is it

1:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

best thing i ever did, as far as lowering stress level, was to get rid of alarm clock

1:21 pm

Ormal

finally fireworks...that di5/14 was eluding me for a long time

1:21 pm

Gail

I leave the house about 5:15 AM for our long walk and I am surprised at how many dog walkers/runners are out there. We have a whole community.

1:21 pm

crosshair

living solely by the bodies natural internal clock is the best way indeed

1:21 pm

crosshair

yaa for ormal

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

i have been wanting to try out the C25K running program...

1:22 pm

crosshair

lol running programme? last time i ran for exercise i just used my feet lol

1:23 pm

crosshair

look down the road,run four miles,turn aroun,repeat

1:23 pm

EvaNadine

C25K trains you to go from a non-runner to be able to successfully (and safely) run a 5K in a matter of weeks

1:23 pm

crosshair

:)

1:23 pm

Nancy Boy

hahaha! well it's fun to run around london...plenty of stuff to see. I run with Leo, which is a great pace-setter...with his stupid long noodle legs, he makes sure I stay fast!

1:24 pm

crosshair

i know im in the zone when im throwing up on my nikes

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

hello everybody

1:25 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Crossy! I tend to turn back before I hit that part...

1:25 pm

Ormal

I loved to run and for many years ran like a racehorse. I blew out my knees, injured my back and now have foot problems (waiting to see podiatrist to see what the problem is). I miss running.

1:25 pm

EvaNadine

even when i was NBs age + in the best shape of my life (performing a 22 minute dance routine outside in florida summer sun) i still couldnt run a single lap around the track.

1:26 pm

Soodle

Hi Ruby. Our dog King was put to sleep this afternoon. I am so very very sad.

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

Oh, soodle, I am so sad for you

1:26 pm

ch1212

Prayers and hugs and sympathy, soodlebum.

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

That is the saddest thing!

1:26 pm

Nancy Boy

oh Soodle, that's awful! (((hugs)))

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

How old was he?

1:26 pm

Ormal

eva, how could you manage to do that?

1:27 pm

crosshair

((((soodles))))

1:27 pm

Soodle

Its all a bit surreal at the moment. I just cant believe we will never see him again. He was 12 - a big lump of a Rothweiller, daft as a brush, but part of the family.

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

There is a moment when you don't have a choice, I think

1:28 pm

EvaNadine

i grew up as a dancer. i could do that with minimal effort. but running... the repetition, nothing to think but "oh god, im out of breath...sweaty...tired..." not do good there...

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

Rufus was just 10, but his arthritis had made him lose his dignity, and he couldn't get his hind end off the floor. I held him in my lap and the vet came to the house. It makes me cry just to think about it.

1:29 pm

Ormal

I see. That's why my daughter does cross country and is hating her season of track this year.

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

I understand how attached we get to our dogs

1:30 pm

Soodle

The kids are truly devastated. My daughter came home from college a day early when she heard. She just wont stop crying

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

Eva, at 42 I became a runner and could run, after 2 years for an hour or more. My son made me a rock and roll tape and it was just like dancing.

1:30 pm

Nancy Boy

Running gives you time to think, though. Plus, I used to be on the football team (I'll give everyone a second to absorb that) so used to running around for no reason!

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

Soodle, I am crying for your dog. I understand

1:31 pm

ch1212

Soo, I'm so grateful that you came here to your Babble family. {{ gentle hugs }}

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

I still miss running

1:31 pm

Soodle

Thanks guys, for the support. Much appreciated.

1:31 pm

EvaNadine

ruby -- im hoping to get into it! its a great workout, and you can do it anywhere!

1:31 pm

periwinkle

so very soory to hear that Soodle

1:31 pm

periwinkle

hello all

1:31 pm

periwinkle

sorry even

1:32 pm

EvaNadine

NB -- i knew there was a reason i adored you -- chris is a goalie. soccer/football players seem to be what i love. ;)

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

eva: I used to travel with my work and ran in about 25 different cities, all over the world. It was wonderful

1:32 pm

redturtlehead

Hello afternoon all, sooodle my condolences, very sorry about your pooch.

1:32 pm

1:33 pm

Nancy Boy

I loved it, Eva! Once the rest of the team adjusted to my presence I had such fun with them all...interrupted by the occasional match ;)

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

gd night everybody

1:33 pm

EvaNadine

how do you get past that feeling of being out of breath? thats always been my hurdle...

1:34 pm

redturtlehead

Eva you need to run slower, then you will not feel out of breath and will be able to run longer. thats a common running problem.

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

chris loves english football -- it is almost ALWAYS on the tele at our house. his favorite team is *mutters under breath*Newcastle*mumbles*

1:34 pm

Ormal

the feeling of being out of breath and the lungs being on fire can be overcome by training your breathing and pacing yourself

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

red -- i feel out of breath walking up a flight of stairs...lol

1:35 pm

redturtlehead

couch to 5K is a good place to start then.

1:35 pm

Ormal

lol

1:35 pm

EvaNadine

thats the program ive been talking about. :)

1:35 pm

redturtlehead

I have just been able to restart training and it is very very unpleasant after being out for those 6 months.

1:35 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva! Oh I differ from him there - I can't watch it on TV. I distracted by the players and end up just mocking their various hairstyles and moaning about their disgusting habit of spitting everywhere...

1:36 pm

redturtlehead

i know several people who have used it.

1:36 pm

EvaNadine

NB -- i just make fun of all their names. i always mis-hear how the announcer pronounce them, and i entertain myself with it. :)

1:37 pm

Uneaixoise

Soodle, hugs and much sympathy to you -- such a hard thing to do :-(

1:38 pm

EvaNadine

i feel so motivated to go running right now!
alas, im at work and have a class tonight, so i wont be able to run until at least tomorrow...

1:38 pm

ch1212

Une! Several were asking about you yesterday. Were you in the flood zone? My bro lives right outside Nashville.

1:38 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Eva! we should watch a football match together ;)

1:38 pm

EvaNadine

red: what method did you use to time your run/walk intervals?
i have downloaded a few podcasts, but nothing seems intuitive other than carrying a stopwatch! lol

1:38 pm

Nancy Boy

ah - you reminded me, Eva. Before anything else, I better go vote. bbl!

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, ch1212 -- yep, I'm in nashville but am very lucky -- no flooding at mi casa

1:39 pm

Uneaixoise

over a billion dollars in damage to the city tho

1:39 pm

redturtlehead

eva, I have not used the program. My Dad is a marathoner, so I grew up on a track, most people I knew used their ipod in one way or another.

1:39 pm

EvaNadine

would love to NB!
i have dubbed Viduca: "the duker"
nicky butt = "icky butt"
im sure there are more...heh

1:39 pm

ch1212

Thank goodness. Nor at my brother's place.

1:39 pm

redturtlehead

yay for Une Avodinging flooding.

1:39 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, red :-)

1:40 pm

redturtlehead

But Eva in truth, I can not play any sport with a ball, I am terrified.

1:40 pm

Uneaixoise

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

1:40 pm

redturtlehead

hi jmc

1:40 pm

Uneaixoise

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

sorry for your loss soodle

1:40 pm

ch1212

Une, do you know if Vanderbilt Cancer Center was okay? My bro was supposed to go in for radiation on tuesday, but I haven't heard if he made it.

1:41 pm

crosshair

you gwen.seems a 12 gutenberg bible has surfaced;)

1:42 pm

Uneaixoise

info re Vanderbilt here: www.vanderbilt.edu/flood/medical-cente

1:42 pm

EvaNadine

im the same, red. thats why i grew up a dancer!
would love to find an easy way to time myself, if ever i get started on C25K...

1:42 pm

crosshair

12th*

1:42 pm

ch1212

oooh, thanks une! My brother is a typical guy -- doesn't communicate much :) I'll check it out. (zips out)

1:43 pm

crosshair

anyways off to work tc all..poof!

1:43 pm

redturtlehead

well, if you are remotely social, some shoe stores offer groups with a pacer who does the timing for you, and you get to meet people.

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

im social, and would love to meet people, but im also lazy and would rather just walk out the front door + get going. if i have to travel somewhere, it just wont happen.

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

bye crossy

1:44 pm

Uneaixoise

ch1212, looks like oncology was shut down at least a few days: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRmkNt6k_vA

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

if i didn't have to drive my sister to the gym i would never go

1:45 pm

ch1212

I just saw that, Une. Dang. I hope that doesn't impact his treatment regimen much ...

1:45 pm

redturtlehead

i thought they had podcasts that tell you when to run and wak..

1:46 pm

Uneaixoise

yeah . . . but at least they're keeping people informed . . .

1:46 pm

EvaNadine

i have downloaded a few and only given them a cursory listen, but im not sure i heard anything obvious that let me know when to change pace.
i may need to actually TRY it out...heh

1:46 pm

ch1212

True, and I'm grateful for that. Well, prayers to everyone in the flood area who are struggling.

1:48 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks, ch, soooo many people are affected but at least the greater community is pitching in in a big way to help out

1:48 pm

Uneaixoise

must run -- back later for 61 more words . . . ugh

1:49 pm

ch1212

bye, une.

1:49 pm

redturtlehead

Oh my, I thought they actually said like walk now, run now etc. I was wrong.

1:50 pm

redturtlehead

Oh reminder for Americans, this weekend, on the 8th the letter carriers will be picking up FOOD for local food banks.

1:54 pm

redturtlehead

rats, I murdered chat.

1:55 pm

Gail

I'm here...

1:56 pm

redturtlehead

sorry to kill off the entertainment gail.

1:57 pm

jmcnrick

no no i am at work as usual and occasionally my silly staff thinks i should pay attention to them

1:57 pm

Gail

I'm working on actual work at the same time.

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

I will leave something out for my letter carrier but I usually take food to meeting for the food bank

2:00 pm

Gail

I have to remember to do that, too. Quid loves our mailman and likes it if we walk along with him for a while and help deliver mail.

2:01 pm

redturtlehead

I went and got some baby food today, that always sort of warms my heart to know for sure I am feeding babies, who else would eat strained peas?

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

sorry, i was foraging ebay for wedding stuff. ;)

2:02 pm

redturtlehead

Now, anyone else finding this grid difficult????

2:03 pm

EvaNadine

i havent even made it halfway, but im fairly certain im finished!

2:04 pm

frogface

hi all, have we got a difficult one today?

2:04 pm

redturtlehead

2:05 pm

frogface

2:05 pm

frogface

2:15 pm

frogface

not liking this grid, not good to get my brain back working

2:20 pm

EvaNadine

2:24 pm

Riverdance

Hi All - just passing through- this was the worst grid for me in a long time

2:24 pm

Riverdance

2:24 pm

frogface

2:24 pm

jmcnrick

I understand from earlier posts that une has been damage free

2:31 pm

o-o

How are you doing, jmc?

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

2:32 pm

Riverdance

Hi JMC - well tomorrow is the dreaded going away ceremony for my family that is being deployed

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

i was all furfluffled yesterday and the day before but okay today BR

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

2:32 pm

frogface

2:33 pm

frogface

2:33 pm

o-o

reminds me of getting on the plane for vietnam

2:33 pm

Riverdance

they are just kids - niece is 25 - her husband 24 and brother 19. No trouble here but keep sending our kids to Iraq

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

I have a stalker of sorts and I thought he had followed me into babbleland when I found he had started friending my minor nieces and nephews

2:34 pm

jmcnrick

flooding and tornadoes in Tenn. frog

2:34 pm

frogface

oooh not seen it on english news yet, soz guys

2:34 pm

Riverdance

thats horrible jmc

2:34 pm

o-o

Is Une okay, jmc?

2:35 pm

jmcnrick

yes une is okay BR

2:35 pm

Riverdance

I am so far removed from Tenn, I am sorry to say I forgot of their troubles. Une was fine yesterday, did not suffer any damages.

2:35 pm

jmcnrick

well its better than being deployed or my house flooded out i guess

2:36 pm

frogface

that sounds scary jmc, was it a fase alarm about stalker?

2:36 pm

Riverdance

thats still scary

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

i am happy to report that he does not appear to be in babbleland. But he is real enough in the real world

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, this is too much bad excitement.

2:37 pm

Riverdance

their unit is supposedly going over to train the iraq troups in security. It is a military police division.

2:37 pm

o-o

Do the authorities know about him, jmc

2:38 pm

o-o

I will say a prayer for them, Mom

2:38 pm

frogface

stalkers are usually taken seriously these days, it's so prevalent

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

you would not have recognized me on Tuesday when I realized this SOB had tried to contact my nieces and nephews and my babble friends

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

unfortunately he has not crossed a legal line yet BR so there is really nothing I can tell the police

2:38 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, can you get rid of stalker? in a legal way?

2:39 pm

jmcnrick

but to facebooks credit they booted him

2:39 pm

frogface

jmc, if you report every small infringement, does it not build up?

2:39 pm

Nancy Boy

hi all, back from voting...Jmc, if you are feeling harrassed, it can help to get police involved early - for the sake of the record if nothing else

2:39 pm

Nancy Boy

my thought too, Frogface :)

2:39 pm

frogface

won't ask who you voted for nancyboy

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

Proud of NB for voting.

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

well maybe i should consider that. it is just that I can't really say that he has done anything except consistently lie to people about me and tried to spy on my life

72 Temple Owl

hi all

2:40 pm

frogface

but should be reported anyway jmc

2:40 pm

frogface

police will keep a record

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

i am sorta a public figure so I haven't minded but the trying to contact the kids in my family freaked me out

2:41 pm

Riverdance

there are laws against slander, defamation etc

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

They do keep records jmc, especially if you can start with a proper detective who can then keep tracks on the situation.

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, knows the law better than we do I imagine.

2:41 pm

Riverdance

unfortunately the cops usually dont want to involve themselves in that - they consider it a civil matter

2:41 pm

frogface

it all builds up to make a case surely

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

yes but mom you have to show damage and so far few believe him over me

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

well i will explore that and I thank you all for the support and advice

2:42 pm

frogface

i hope you sort it out jmc, not nice for yo

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

the babbleland community is always there for me and I appreciate it

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

and mom i will hold your family in the Light (Quaker for I will pray for them)

2:43 pm

Riverdance

I so agree this is a great community - the babble family

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

I like that we don't even have to agree about stuff and we still care for each other

2:44 pm

frogface

sounds lovely

2:44 pm

Nancy Boy

thank you ladies ;) but Jmc has a point...it is so difficult to get the police involved with these things. Hitch-hiking a few years ago, I got into a sticky situation which I managed to rescue myself from, but when I went to the police there was nothing that could be done at all

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

you are part of it too frogface!

2:44 pm

Riverdance

thanks jmc - will be lighting my candle tomorrow - here we go again - seems my niece just got back (4 years) and off she goes again. She already said she is not resigning.

2:44 pm

Nancy Boy

taught me to never hitch-hike though...particularly not at night!

2:45 pm

frogface

i came on regular last year, but i've had a few problems and brain freeze jmc

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

I am starting to keep a file and my son and sister know

2:45 pm

frogface

good lesson nb

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

i never let brain freeze interfere! lol the grid is secondary!

2:45 pm

o-o

I don't agree with anyone, ever since my favorite wall went off with the ceiling I have been quite cantankerous

2:45 pm

Riverdance

smart decision for such a cutie like you NB

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

that must make it quite drafty BR!

2:45 pm

frogface

i mean good lesson hard learnt obviously nb sorry

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

*hands BR an umbrella in case it rains*

2:46 pm

o-o

drafty? army talk again

2:46 pm

frogface

awww i'm sure you aren't br

2:46 pm

Riverdance

*and a blankie for when it gets cold*

2:46 pm

Nancy Boy

quite Frogface - I naively assumed that because I was a boy I'd be alright. Silly, silly. I got away safe but figure lightning does strike twice in the same place - if you're too stupid to move away!

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

lol no draft in the U.S.

2:47 pm

frogface

so you moved away nb, clever lad lol

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

nb clearly has his moments of brilliance

2:48 pm

o-o

I was number 115 forty years ago

2:48 pm

frogface

well i'm sure you aint cantankerous br, drafty you may be lol

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

or drafted..

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

he was.

2:49 pm

o-o

How are you doing HT?

2:49 pm

Nancy Boy

lol! yes ;) well I'd never put myself in that situation again - nobody would. If you're in a car with a stranger, and they punch the locks down and pull up in a dark area - something is clearly wrong!

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

I've been better, but have also been worse.

2:50 pm

frogface

you'd guess so nb, hope it turned out ok?

2:50 pm

o-o

Hope you get better ... sick?

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

115 was a pretty low number in some states -- my brother was number 2 and got an ulcer just thinking about it

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

Just an ugly blue mood, but it is starting to lift a bit.

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

hang around here and it is hard to maintain a good solid blue mood

2:52 pm

redturtlehead

Not entirely true jmc, but Babble helps.

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

*pulls out pink paint to help change red's mood*

2:52 pm

Nancy Boy

oh yes, thank you Frog :) fought my way out. It was the feeling of "oh god, I'm ****ed" that I wouldn't repeat though!

2:53 pm

Riverdance

It certainly helped me through those first MISERABLE days of not smoking

2:53 pm

frogface

many not strong enuff to do that nb, glad u had the strength

2:53 pm

frogface

scary wots out ther

2:53 pm

jmcnrick

did I ever tell you about the time i had a gun put to my head NB?

2:53 pm

frogface

e

2:53 pm

frogface

scary jmc!!!

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

it was because of a similar dumb choice of mine!

2:54 pm

Nancy Boy

well thank you :) more to do with the element of surprise I think - I was so on edge that I reacted at the first move!

2:54 pm

Nancy Boy

Jmc - not in detail, no! Care to now? We can switch dumb-choice stories :)

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

phone brb

2:55 pm

frogface

2:55 pm

frogface

2:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

so then frog can yo tell us why the chicken crossed the road?

2:57 pm

Nancy Boy

I guess it's all down to luck, Frog ;) there are good and bad aspects to living either way! we all just do our best really

2:58 pm

frogface

3:49 pm

sammysmom

you may have heard of my sister and brother-in law- check out utube ed degenhardt- he got the maine restaraunter award this year.

3:49 pm

fuzzybunny

Sammysmom - the clue you are looking for was just given.

3:50 pm

fuzzybunny

That is quite an honor. I used to work in hospitality in VT. What is the name of their restaurant?

3:50 pm

Nef

Hello Fellow Babblers! How are you all today?

3:51 pm

fuzzybunny

Howdy Nef! I'm great!

3:51 pm

sammysmom

3:51 pm

fuzzybunny

Sounds like your sister and brother-in-law have had a good life.

3:52 pm

Nef

Hi fuzzy and sammy.

3:52 pm

fuzzybunny

How are you Nef?

3:53 pm

fuzzybunny

leaving for a minute to check out the you tube video from sammy.....

3:54 pm

Nef

I'm doing okay. Waiting for a car to come (that we just bought). It's a used 2007 Toyota Rav4

3:57 pm

Nef

(I'm off doing the same)

4:01 pm

fuzzybunny

Sammy, it would be an honor to meet your sister and her husband. I was not able to get the video to play past 1:35 min, I really want to see the rest. Bookmarked it and will try again later. Sounds like that award was well deserved.

4:02 pm

fuzzybunny

Nef, I am sure you will enjoy your new car, hope you have great times in it.

4:02 pm

sammysmom

yup- they have worked very hard for a lot of years

4:03 pm

Nef

Wow! It sounds like they deserve that award, sammy!

4:04 pm

sammysmom

yes hef- and she is so pleased- she has recieved several major awards and gives him the vredit because he financed a lot of her projects and still is-

4:05 pm

sammysmom

you might want to check her website- dawn degengardt and see some of the things she has done

4:05 pm

Nef

thanks, fuzzy. My DH is really struggling trying to get in and out of our Hyundai Elantra, his legs are cement columns (he says) and aren't working well (he has MS)

4:06 pm

sammysmom

congrats on the new car nef- hope it works well for you and you dh

4:08 pm

fuzzybunny

There, got to see the rest of the video. I have eaten at their McDonald's in Millinocket!

Nef

Nef

4:11 pm

4:11 pm

sammysmom

4:12 pm

Nef

thanks, sammy. <I'm digging around in there looking for choclits!>

4:13 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm guilty of, occasionally, wishing this PB was a real place. I hear there's cabana boys.

4:14 pm

fuzzybunny

I might have to visit it more often.

4:14 pm

Nef

Hi, NB! How are you these days?

4:14 pm

redturtlehead

Is there AC yet in the PB?

4:14 pm

sammysmom

4:16 pm

Nef

what's tonk?

4:17 pm

Nef

Oooh! Company for me in PB! Welcome red!

4:17 pm

sammysmom

a card game- a type of poker... heard it was an old prison game but i m not sure... we only play for a quarter a hand so noone gets hurt and we have a lot of fun ... mostly ribbing each other-lol

4:17 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi, Nef! I'm good as ever these days, thank you :) sorry, got side-tracked watching the election coverage on TV. How are you?

4:18 pm

Nef

sounds like fun, sammy

4:18 pm

sammysmom

yup... us old folks need all the recreation we can get

4:19 pm

fuzzybunny

I played a game new to me with my sister-in-law in NC, it was called Bunko, played with dice and you had to ante 10 for the night. Had a lot of fun, renamed it drunko at the end of the night!

4:19 pm

Nef

I'm okay, NB. Last time I saw you you were waiting to be seen in whatever you Brits call the emergency room (you'd cut your hand at work). How did all that tu** out?

4:19 pm

sammysmom

lol fuzzy- soulds like fun!!

4:21 pm

Nancy Boy

Ahh yes, the A&E - it's the quickest I've ever been seen in there. But I got some stitches (ewww) and some TLC at home (ahhh) so didn't turn out too badly at all! Thank you :)

4:22 pm

Nef

so there weren't any injuries of any nerves or anything? Did you have to take sick days from work?

4:24 pm

Nancy Boy

oh no, thankfully; just a few bits of glass to be picked out (not my favourite sensation I'm sure) and a nice big cut to sew up. I didn't take any time off work...just struggled on and was kind of inept for a few days ;) I only really hurt my pride - the people I work with found it hilaaarious!

4:25 pm

Nef

Wow, that wasn't very kind of them!

4:26 pm

jesdraggon

/me wanders back in

4:27 pm

Nancy Boy

it was my own stupid fault for sticking my hand where it didn't belong, Nef ;) that is, in the trajectory of a broken bottle!

4:27 pm

fuzzybunny

Have to relinquish computer to the younger set. Back after dinner. Poof

4:28 pm

jesdraggon

how's everyone?

4:28 pm

Nef

bye fuzzy

4:28 pm

Nef

hi jes

4:29 pm

Nef

I still don't think well of your co-workers, NB. (Then again, I didn't see the beginning of the story I guess)

4:30 pm

Gadget

Are you guiys all chatting cuz you're all done? I don't find this grid as easy as some...argh!

4:30 pm

jesdraggon

no, gadget, i'm chatting because i'm grid-blind and can't find any more words, and 'cuz Nef and NB are fun to chat with :)

4:30 pm

Nef

Gadget, I chat because I chat! I'm not finding this one too easy either

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

ah Nef, my clumsiness is famous ;)

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

and Gadget...the chat is open but the grid is currently covered up with another webpage ;)

4:32 pm

Nef

NB, speaking of clumsy; Dh and I were laying in the road last night due to it!

4:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Lying in the road, Nef?! pray explain!

4:35 pm

Nef

DH has been struggling with his MS recently. He's had a relapse and is having lots of problems with his legs. So last evening we were leaving the community center and I told him he should hang on to me. He did; and he lost his balance and went down, tripping me on his way down. I was laying on top of him; he was upset (steriod withdrawal causes short tempers) and I'm laying on top LAUGHING my head off!

4:37 pm

Nancy Boy

oh Nef, what a shame! hope neither of you were seriously hurt!

4:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Also, I don't want to sound like an ignorant young 'un, but I have to ask: what does 'DH' stand for?

4:37 pm

Nef

HE'S trying to get up, I'm on top laughing hysterically and another (older) woman came to help. I told her we were okay, just I had to stop gigling and he needed to wait til I got off before he got up. Neither of us were hurt; but I'm sure we were quite the site!

4:37 pm

Gadget

OK good - I feel better;-)

4:38 pm

Nef

DH is Dear hubby, NB

4:39 pm

Nef

(or dearest Husband, or Dumb Head, or whatever. Depends on the mood; but usually Dear Hubby)

4:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Lol Nef! Well I'm quite used to being a public spectacle myself, and I believe there's a lot to be said for it ;) 'Dear Hubby' is nice!

4:42 pm

Nef

I'm just glad it was in front of the community center and not a bar! :-D

4:43 pm

Nef

Gadget, how many words do you have left? Maybe we can clue each other (although I still have 65 words left)

4:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Hahaha! reminds me of this joke:
a man gets absolutely slaughtered at a pub, and tries to go out for some fresh air to sober up. However, he keeps falling over and so, realizing he must be drunker than he previously thought, he drags himself home, still unable to stand. The next morning, his wife says to him, "you went out drinking again, didn't you?" the man asks how she found out and she says, "you left your wheelchair at the bar again."

4:45 pm

Nancy Boy

*groans*

4:46 pm

jesdraggon

gah. that is a horrible joke, NB

4:47 pm

Nef

LOL! That IS terrible! (But I laughed!)

4:47 pm

Nancy Boy

hence the groan, Jes!

4:47 pm

jesdraggon

are there REALLY more than 30 words in this grid?

4:48 pm

Nef

However, as DH and I agree, sometimes if you don't laugh you cry. Wed rather laugh any day

4:48 pm

Nef

jes, I have 36 that I've found

4:49 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. you're 9 ahead of me then

4:49 pm

PinnyPoppins

I've got to 48 and am forcing myself to hit the halfway mark

4:50 pm

PinnyPoppins

Such a touch grid though :(

4:50 pm

Nef

GO Pinny! MUCH better than me! :-)

4:51 pm

Nancy Boy

quite, Nef! I am trying to make that my policy regarding my family but finding it a struggle at the moment :)

4:51 pm

PinnyPoppins

Up to 50 now - just one to go before I can give up!

4:51 pm

PinnyPoppins

Oh! Done it! 51/50

4:52 pm

jesdraggon

yay pinny!

4:53 pm

Nef

NB, give them time. It may take a while, but just be yourself

4:53 pm

Nef

Pinny, don't quit! Use Licketys' list

4:54 pm

jesdraggon

there's some! up to 32 now

4:54 pm

Nancy Boy

well that's the problem Nef - found out a few days ago that my dad's quite unwell. I figured he'd forgive me one day, but he needs time as you say..

4:55 pm

jesdraggon

off for an appointment, back shortly

4:56 pm

Nef

what's the matter with him, NB?

4:56 pm

Nef

bye jes CU later

4:57 pm

Nancy Boy

some troubles with his heart, Nef. I'm going to go visit him in hospital, but I'm so scared it's ridiculous!

4:58 pm

Nef

NB, are you afraid he will get upset?

4:59 pm

Nancy Boy

thing is, I'm scared that my presence will agitate him and make things worse in some way

4:59 pm

Nancy Boy

yes Nef, that's exactly it

4:59 pm

Nef

Dress "normal, act like you always have; but be sure and let the doctors and nurses be awarte that there is stress between you and let them decide if it's okay

5:00 pm

Nef

They can help you decide if it would be wise for you to see him. OR, they may let you see him while he's asleep

5:00 pm

Nancy Boy

Ahh, I forgot you're a nurse! Looks like I came to the right person with this problem :)

5:00 pm

bichon

okay, I gie up, what is the tu 5?

5:01 pm

bichon

got it, nm

5:01 pm

Nef

When I worked CV-ICU, we often had situations that we had to make decisions about like this

5:03 pm

Nancy Boy

I can imagine, Nef..what did you usually decide was best? since I guess, I'd be seeing him for selfish reasons, since I know, really, that he won't want to see me. So is it really wise?

5:04 pm

Nef

They can let you see him while he's sleeping if he has a bad temper. You would feel better and he'd be no wiser

5:05 pm

Nancy Boy

Okay. Thanks, Nef! I feel slightly more at ease now :)

5:05 pm

Nef

However, there were times when a visitor would eave a card or small gift (flowers not allowed in the un**s), and when the patient woke and saw that the visitor had been there, it could break the ice

5:06 pm

Nef

I don't know about your Korean culture, though, so --I don't know

5:07 pm

Nef

Shoot! NB, I need to go pick up my daughter at the bus stop. I'd like to stay, but I have her car!

5:08 pm

Nancy Boy

I dunno, Nef. We're talking about the man who cuts me out of family photos, here. Thank you so much for your advice, though - very helpful :)

5:08 pm

Nef

I'll be back in an hour or so

5:08 pm

periwinkle

5:08 pm

5:27 pm

Hi all -- just got a little over half way last night

5:29 pm

Nancy Boy

good for you, Jes! And ummm, not really - just my little sister. I asked her when she told me, but she just wasn't sure. And of course, she was very upset, too...

5:30 pm

jesdraggon

ah. hmm. i dunno then, other than to agree with Nef, maybe the nurses can tell you when he's sleeping and let you in then.

5:32 pm

Nancy Boy

I think that's as good as I'm going to get, Jes, especially since my little sister isn't supposed to be in contact with me. ugh, how complicated :(

5:40 pm

cybernan

5:48 pm

Joanne123

nancy i have a chinese guy working for me and son not wanting to be in canada so went back to china and now back in canada and father still not happy

5:48 pm

Joanne123

even tho his son got a job, but because he didn't get his schooling

5:49 pm

Joanne123

i have a son who lives in a cave in the basement but happy he's not in trouble or in jail...

5:50 pm

Joanne123

very different opinions on how our kids should be

5:50 pm

Nancy Boy

you're right there Joanne! But I wonder, if we kids had been any different, would you adults have loved us so much? ;)

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

hi all, I can not believe, i am still NOT half way!!!

5:51 pm

Nancy Boy

I mean not in my case, as obviously the answer is yes :P but other cases

5:51 pm

Joanne123

you are suppose to love your kids unconditionally

5:51 pm

Joanne123

lol red hi

5:52 pm

Joanne123

god that word don't look right?

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

Joanne, I see "kids" age 32 and beyond who still call thier Moms for a ride home after ending up in the ED being arrested for drunk & disorderly, and I am never really that surprised if the parents dont show up for that!

5:53 pm

Joanne123

red i was lucky there somewhat

5:53 pm

Joanne123

just dragged my daughter out of a hotel room partying with guys to old for her

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

I always wonder what happened to these adults that they didnt really transition into adulthood...

5:54 pm

Joanne123

playing on the phone is one thing, making your parents take a lot of responsibility for you at over thirty is just bizarre.

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

I play a lot of on line games....like, errr babble.

5:56 pm

Joanne123

well not his parent but we gave them a home and the game thing...well if you work it's different

Nancy Boy, I will offer some advice, though I am late into the conversation and don't know what has been said today. --> Stay proud of your ethnic heritage. Stay connected. Young people are looking up to you. And some of us old people are looking up to you, too.

6:19 pm

jillibus

stid, the water at the beach is far too cold for swimming -- we used the lake in recent years. Back in the 40s there was a heated pool on the beach which belonged to the hotel -- it was dismantled decades ago and now the pool is up in the hotel grounds.

6:19 pm

cybernan

yay stid!

6:19 pm

Joanne123

acidy

6:19 pm

stidmama

I don't think my parents swim any more, Jill. They just like to walk and watch the water.

6:20 pm

Joanne123

but that fresh eath

6:20 pm

Joanne123

but that fresh earthy taste

6:20 pm

jillibus

btw, finished a little while ago but can't linger here -- gardener here so I must attend to that.

6:20 pm

stidmama

enjoy Jill! tell her hello, and that I love how the garden is looking these days!

6:20 pm

cybernan

We used to go swimming every May long weekend (the start of the season), but it is much colder here now. Our daughter was born May 21, 1966 -- we had already had 2 weeks of 80F+ weather by then.

6:20 pm

Joanne123

oh nice jill send him here next please

6:21 pm

jillibus

I was lurking a bit earlier, and I wonder if NB is still here. I just admire him so much and know he is a very courageous young man, dealt a rotten hand in life.

6:21 pm

stidmama

oh, that is way early for warm! but I forget you are further inland than we are, Nan

6:21 pm

fuzzybunny

Jilli, are you in Tadoussac? My DH and I went there last summer sans kid and had one of the best kayak paddles ever. We stayed up in Petite Saguanay (sp). You are in a very pretty area.

6:22 pm

Joanne123

6:22 pm

jillibus

6:22 pm

Joanne123

6:23 pm

fuzzybunny

I would settle for a housekeeper!

6:23 pm

stidmama

Nancy Boy will be okay. He is smart, creative, strong, and he has many friends. *stern mama look at the fates* he has a good future in store.

6:23 pm

Joanne123

enjoy

6:23 pm

cybernan

wow, jill -- I could sure use a gardener like that -- come to think of it, I could use a gardener!

6:23 pm

stidmama

I would settle for someone to wash the dishes once or twice a week...

6:23 pm

jillibus

fuzzy, I'm not in Tadoussac -- it's my hubby's family's summer place, and now my son's. I'm on the other side of the continent, in BC (see my bio)

7:13 pm

7:13 pm

Barb's Horses

7:14 pm

J. C.

As bad as losing any family member - they are such a part of our lives.

7:14 pm

Nancy Boy

7:14 pm

fuzzybunny

7:15 pm

Barb's Horses

sorry to here that fuzzy it is hard no matter when they go or why

7:16 pm

redturtlehead

7:16 pm

fuzzybunny

7:16 pm

PAV3

just the shortened version

7:17 pm

fuzzybunny

I like that word, fun to say.

7:17 pm

PAV3

how heartbreaking fb!

7:17 pm

Barb's Horses

unfortunately accidents do happen and there isn't much we can do to ease the pain

7:18 pm

PAV3

mine was an extended illness, and he and I both knew it was time...

7:18 pm

fuzzybunny

That is so hard, the knowing part.

7:19 pm

7:19 pm

fuzzybunny

Keep up the good work Pav!

7:20 pm

Barb's Horses

67 for me working on the big words hoping they give me clues to the little ones this time

7:20 pm

Nancy Boy

7:21 pm

J. C.

Yes, Barb. I have lost a partner when I was only 34. Had to watch him slowly die. The loss of anyone we love takes a real toll on us. A sad inevitability.

7:22 pm

PAV3

7:22 pm

PAV3

7:22 pm

7:25 pm

Ormal

To5: it weighs a to* + another way to say two **

7:25 pm

PAV3

who, moi? personally, this came up in our condo community - I'm on the board of directors, and we've been dealing with hispanic folk who don't follow our rules, and now that we called their bluffs, we're "racist", and I've been called a wetback myself...

7:25 pm

Nancy Boy

oh I don't know. Maybe my neighbours across the street? :P

7:26 pm

PAV3

I think there's a famous beach in Aus...Bo*** Beach for surfers? to5 sounds like it...

7:27 pm

J. C.

Naturally they'll try playing the 'racist' card, rather than take accountability for their actions. Easier!

7:27 pm

lawyer-1

I know nothing about surfing other than it needs water

7:27 pm

J. C.

And a surf board usually helps...

7:28 pm

PAV3

and if you saw me, you'd know I'm not racist...perhaps a bit of a di** (not inthe grid) but then my name is Peter...

7:28 pm

J. C.

I doubt they despise you, Jesse. Envy you, perhaps? ;)

7:28 pm

J. C.

My middle name is Peter - it's my dad's first name.

7:28 pm

PAV3

how about the stuff you put on cars to glue them back together...Bondo

7:29 pm

PAV3

or is it Bond-O

7:30 pm

lawyer-1

OK, ladies and gents, I am down to my last 4...any help would be appreciated. in 5/10; ni 5/10; ru 5/14 and to 5/12. Non surf-related clues preferred.

7:30 pm

PAV3

It is after ni 4/4 and here is my story of clues. I was un 6/33 of the grid today as I sat on my he 6/21 and babbled. It made me want to drink gin and to 5/12. I was just not that in 4/4 this grid. It was di 5/18 for awhile if I was going to be able to finish the grid. My ey4/6 were just not seeing many of the "C" words.If I hadn't finished this puzzle I would not have given a do4/5. I was not going to let grid ru 4/5 my day. But I did finish the grid with the help of my ni 4/5 babble friends and now everything is fi 4/7 and dandy. That is the great thing about chog,we all un5/12 and help each other out. It is hubby's tu4/5 to use computer. I am off to change my ic 4/5 then I'm off to watch tv for the rest of the ni 4/4. Bye to my fellow babblers!

9:49 pm

Trifioso

okay. I have to admit defeat and beg for help. does anyone have the lower lone h?

9:50 pm

torgone

Well scrap metal is essentially recycling, but we're not so much in the scrap metal end of the biz and more in the paper and container recycling part of the biz ..

9:50 pm

lbdawger

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

pretty much nef -- good thing i am an old lady or i would be in trouble all the time! lol

10:49 pm

stidmama

okay, I think I am falling asleep here.

10:49 pm

jmcnrick

if not could they clue it now?

10:50 pm

stidmama

first co 8 is the act of putting something into the law, a sort of "plural" looking word

10:50 pm

stidmama

it's actually the sort of plural of hte 6 that comes after...

10:50 pm

jmcnrick

10:55 pm

nrkii

10:56 pm

nrkii

10:56 pm

TraderKate

10:56 pm

jmcnrick

10:56 pm

jmcnrick

TraderKate

10:57 pm

jmcnrick

nrkii

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

I am watching Oprah about finding your lost loved ones and I never lost my crap as much as these people did

10:57 pm

jmcnrick

she better find some one for free cus i am going pro se

10:58 pm

TraderKate

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

sorry nrkii

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

uh. . .can't think why i would refer her to someone. . . .

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

*shapes foil cap in form of barrister wig*

10:59 pm

TraderKate

i have 4 h's nrkii...

10:59 pm

nrkii

two more than me :)

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

Foil hat would be cheaper than those horse hair wigs

11:01 pm

jmcnrick

prettier too (and less itchy)

11:01 pm

TraderKate

okay... i'll try, i'm awfully tired...hope clues are okay... 2 stupid words..

11:01 pm

TraderKate

please model the foil wig for us jmc

11:01 pm

herinfernallady

The wigs are not too itchy

11:01 pm

jmcnrick

*puts wig on and models*

11:01 pm

jillibus

Hello all -- I got my last 26 this afternoon -- horrible grid. I can clue if needed (I think)

11:02 pm

jmcnrick

hi jill what do you think of my foil barrister wig for when uni sues me?

11:02 pm

TraderKate

okay nrkii... bear with me... first word sounds like slang for bum... second is the plural. he 6 / 21, he 7 / 32

11:02 pm

Pinikula

back

11:03 pm

nrkii

would love H clues... I have he4/8 (size) and he4/9 (colors?)

11:03 pm

nrkii

ooh, thanks Kate

11:03 pm

jillibus

Sounds impenetrable, jmc! What's this all about?

11:03 pm

Pinikula

he6 = butt

11:03 pm

Pinikula

he7 = pl butt

11:03 pm

TraderKate

he + (not out) + 2 vowels
he + (not out) + 2 vowels > pl.

11:04 pm

jmcnrick

uni claims i owe her royalties for the foil caps

11:04 pm

nrkii

cool, stopping with 17 to go

11:04 pm

jillibus

hy6 -- think sanitary and remove the middle consonant

11:04 pm

nrkii

need bath and bed now

11:04 pm

herinfernallady

why are we being sued by Uni?

11:04 pm

nrkii

night all!

11:04 pm

herinfernallady

and I just saw the price of wigs geepers

11:05 pm

jmcnrick

bye nrkii

11:05 pm

jillibus

foil barrister wigs? What has uni got to do with those?

11:06 pm

TraderKate

lovely foil wig jmc... she will be suitably impressed.

11:06 pm

TraderKate

i!

11:06 pm

jmcnrick

lol no the foil caps i made the barrister wig to be ready if she sues me in babbleland for copyright infringement

11:06 pm

herinfernallady

HI osgma

11:06 pm

herinfernallady

lol JM

11:06 pm

jillibus

I'm corn fused

11:06 pm

jillibus

hi osgd

11:07 pm

Pinikula

Will I get in trouble for the foil suit I made???

11:07 pm

jillibus

what foil caps? Sorry to be thick but I obviously missed something.

11:07 pm

Pinikula

foil caps for when we read each other's minds ;)

11:07 pm

jmcnrick

*pulls out trunk full of foil caps* these

11:08 pm

jillibus

I have BBC World on, election results. So different from such reports in the USA.

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

seems like uni will be suing lots of babbleland citizens

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

You need to realise that foil caps enhance the brain waves

11:08 pm

Pinikula

now you tell us, herin! LOL

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

the biggest difference is that it is over at the end of the vote count in the US and in Britain they are just starting to negotiate

11:08 pm

jillibus

Ah. I must be wearing some kind of cap which has prevented me from reading your minds, lol!

11:09 pm

TraderKate

is it hung jill?

11:09 pm

jmcnrick

it depends onthe design of the cap

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

I told you that ages ago

11:09 pm

Pinikula

I'm a little slow...

11:10 pm

TraderKate

i seem to recall a particularly protracted vote count in florida not too long ago....

11:10 pm

jillibus

What strikes me is that it's all so low-key. We have the same sort of system here, but it's a bit more excited.

11:10 pm

herinfernallady

TK I just realised I haven't seen you here in an age

11:10 pm

jmcnrick

true but that was unusual

11:10 pm

herinfernallady

I am looking at UK google news

11:10 pm

TraderKate

have come to lurk ocassionally

11:11 pm

jillibus

So far they think it will be a hung parliament. It's about 5 am there and they're still reporting results.

11:11 pm

herinfernallady

oks

11:12 pm

jillibus

But we're quite used to minority governments here and they seem alarmed.

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

I don't understand politics even though we are taught it in school

11:12 pm

Pinikula

me either, herin

11:12 pm

jmcnrick

well it is midnite here and i am thinking that is late enough since i need to clean my house before work for the board member house guest

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

NIght JM

11:13 pm

jmcnrick

bye all 36 left

11:13 pm

jillibus

poor you, jmc!

11:13 pm

TraderKate

they haven't had a hung parliament in 40 years... they are very worried.

11:13 pm

Pinikula

take care, jmc...don't work too hard!

11:13 pm

jmcnrick

it would have been okay but i was looking for a wedding photo for my niece and. . .well. . . . there are photos everywhere now!

11:13 pm

TraderKate

happy cleaning jmc... we'll keep your foil wig safe for you

11:13 pm

Pinikula

uh oh

11:14 pm

jmcnrick

ty trader . . . don't let uni get her hands on it!

11:14 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

11:14 pm

jillibus

Is there a picture somewhere of these famous foil caps?

11:14 pm

TraderKate

stock markets will be going for another ride tomorrow...

11:15 pm

jillibus

today was a wild stock market one, I heard

11:15 pm

herinfernallady

brb

11:16 pm

TraderKate

i will guard it with my life!>>> marches it to the pb where she locks it away in a very heavy chest...gives spare key to cabana boy with strict instructions to give it only to jmc.... under penalty of death... or worse!

11:16 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

11:17 pm

jillibus

cabana booys like heavy chests, don't they?

11:17 pm

TraderKate

the dow dropped just short of 1000 points in a matter of minutes!... a lot of traders wished they had their pampers! lol

11:17 pm

Pinikula

* snicker *

11:17 pm

Pinikula

(that was for jilli)

11:18 pm

Pinikula

I hope some of my stocks survived...

11:18 pm

TraderKate

europe's going for a ride next... u.s. will too... it will be nasty!

11:18 pm

jillibus

(thought so, pini)

11:18 pm

TraderKate

pini... if you have stocks.. don't pay any attention until wednesday at least!

11:19 pm

Pinikula

okey dokey :)

11:20 pm

TraderKate

... unless you want to go bargain hunting... then go for it... lol

11:20 pm

jillibus

follow the bouncing ball of the stock market . . .

11:21 pm

Pinikula

I think I'll just keep my fingers crosses that something happens for the good!

11:21 pm

TraderKate

you goy it jill... the wild ride continues... i still don't understand why it has taken this long.

11:21 pm

jillibus

(is anyone old enough to remember those bouncing ball songs at the movies, along with the newsreels and Comin Attractions?

11:22 pm

Pinikula

* raises hand *

11:22 pm

TraderKate

futures aren't bad pini... it's the end of the day that bears watching

11:22 pm

jillibus

forgive the typos -- I'm tired!

11:22 pm

jillibus

Oh good, pini :)

11:23 pm

TraderKate

i remember them in cartoons.... but i remember the anthem being played and 2 cartoons before the movie... they got rid of the news reels just before my time... left-overs from the war i think?

11:23 pm

jillibus

you know, even having finished, I still don't like looking at this grid.

11:24 pm

jillibus

glad to hear that, kate.

11:24 pm

TraderKate

well done jill! i did 60 and threw in the towel... just popped in for a quick lurk-cum-chat

11:25 pm

jillibus

there was a lot of help post-flip last night.

11:25 pm

TraderKate

pini remembers too... she raised her hand...

11:25 pm

jillibus

I saw that.

11:25 pm

jillibus

I didn't think you were nearly old enough, Kate.

11:26 pm

TraderKate

i wasn't here at the flip. went to bed at a reasonable time..as i will do again tonight.

11:26 pm

jillibus

clever you, kate.

11:27 pm

TraderKate

should i be coy and just giggle and say i have a good memory? lol i was born 1961

11:27 pm

jillibus

I was right, kate -- you're not nearly old enough!

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

age is just a number

11:29 pm

TraderKate

they kept up the news reels in my little world for quite a bit longer... military bases were the last to get rid of them... they were still running in the 60's ; i just don't remember them

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

with 70 left I am going to lickety

11:29 pm

jillibus

good luck, herin!

11:29 pm

TraderKate

go herin go... rofl...

11:30 pm

jillibus

Oh, I forgot to show that the icon theme for today was Oceans. Tomorrow is A Word from the Grid.

11:31 pm

herinfernallady

be all right if my fingers worked

11:31 pm

TraderKate

brb... need to plant my crops

11:31 pm

jillibus

So mine is the Arctic Ocean.

11:31 pm

flosey

hi everyone, mine is the Pacific

11:31 pm

jillibus

Hi flosey -- rested now?

11:32 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Flosey

11:32 pm

flosey

yes thanks jilli, feeling much better

11:32 pm

flosey

watched Doc Martin

11:32 pm

flosey

hi herin

11:33 pm

jillibus

Darnit -- I love Doc Martin and missed it.

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

sigh have to mothers day stuff sunday

11:34 pm

jillibus

I see Sprite posted a lovely calm unnamed ocean picture, with the comment "Big. Salty. Deep. Everywhere."

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

does it make me a bad person if i contemplate faking being sick on Sunday

11:34 pm

flosey

will go to who's online and see

11:35 pm

flosey

I meant "my friends"

11:35 pm

jillibus

hmmm.

11:36 pm

flosey

beautiful scene

11:36 pm

jillibus

Do, flosey. I think you and Sprite and I are the only ones who followed the theme. What a pity.

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

:(

11:37 pm

flosey

wonder why?

11:37 pm

flosey

there are so many beautiful ocean pictures to be found online

11:38 pm

jillibus

I think people are either too busy or don't know how or just don't want to.

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

I barely have time to play

11:38 pm

flosey

well, sometimes one can be too busy - and, those still working - or at school, could be

11:39 pm

jillibus

I did see someone express the opinion that they didn't like it when people change icons because they don't know who the person is. For isntance, we all know the green rabbit is Scrabbler.

11:40 pm

flosey

yes, and MRP, and a few others, that's true

11:40 pm

herinfernallady

I personally love teh icon change and the stories. I just don't have time any more. I barely have time to play

11:40 pm

jillibus

mrp does change sometimes.

11:40 pm

flosey

yes

11:40 pm

jillibus

What I don't understand is people who suggest themes and then don't follow them, but do change icons to something else.

11:41 pm

flosey

I do appreciate that herin

11:41 pm

flosey

yes, that strikes me as odd

11:41 pm

jillibus

Quite understandable, herin.

11:42 pm

herinfernallady

I should make time but some days it is in and out and then I feel if i do change is it going to be there for days confusing people

11:42 pm

jillibus

Herin, I'm glad you enjoy the stories and changes. So it's not a total waste of time.

11:43 pm

herinfernallady

I miss my Grannies stories.

11:43 pm

jillibus

Don't worry about it, herin!

11:43 pm

jillibus

Flosey, did you ever get around to reading the long thing about the Arctic Ocean?

11:43 pm

herinfernallady

Right now I wish I had my drivers licence so I could drive to this Mothers day thing pretend I am drunk tell the b.fs sister what i really think then maybe his mother and then go home

11:43 pm

flosey

Jilli, one of my friends in Toronto, a painter, was booked for some special event, received a call from the east coast saying the ice was breaking up and she flew down to get pics, so that she could paint it

11:44 pm

flosey

yes I did jilli, very interesting

11:44 pm

flosey

scary as well, of course

11:45 pm

jillibus

Interesting about your friend, flosey!

11:46 pm

jillibus

herin, if you want to be "sick" and avoid a problem, that's your biz!

11:46 pm

flosey

I do have 2 of her paintings, she always holidayed on the east coast for that purpose

11:46 pm

herinfernallady

every time we go to this family things with his sister there we fight later

11:47 pm

jillibus

I wish I'd noticed those paintings when I was in your house, flosey.

11:47 pm

flosey

ah, not your Mum, herin - that's different

11:47 pm

flosey

a matter I can fully appreciate

11:47 pm

flosey

they're downstairs in one of the spare bedrooms, jilli

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

It is his sister that annoys me the most. His mum is ok it is his little miss perfect sister that needs a smack

11:48 pm

jillibus

Oh, no wonder I didn't see them, flosey!

11:49 pm

jillibus

brb...

11:49 pm

flosey

lol, can fully understand, herin - My s-i-l and I sort of, reached a point where we agreed to disagree

11:50 pm

flosey

she is no longer with us, but since moving to the island here, she lived across the road

11:51 pm

herinfernallady

she is older than him so of course got a good deal in property made a bit of money and all that. So she thinks that she is wonderful. So does his mum. His mother has zero pics of him or us about the house.

11:52 pm

herinfernallady

and this grid is kicking myu butt

11:52 pm

flosey

that's sad, herin, but she's the loser, in my opinion

11:52 pm

flosey

want any clues?

11:53 pm

VolleymomDee

11:53 pm

flosey

11:58 pm

VolleymomDee

11:59 pm

jillibus

Oh lol, the results for BArking ar being announced and there's a character of a candidate --a little guy in a red coat and top hat and giant yellow rosette.
