12:17 am

jillibus

as usual, grem, with small grids

12:17 am

westford

what's the count for your word jilli?

12:17 am

gremlinn

yeah

12:21 am

jillibus

sorry -- I forgot to save what I wrote for it -- it's what you might see if you were hi4/8

12:22 am

jillibus

I've fixed my profile now if anyone is interested ;)

12:22 am

westford

thanks like the tear drop story as well

12:23 am

gremlinn

I can't figure out what word that's a clue for.

12:23 am

jillibus

I wanted to post an icon clue quickly before everyone finished and left so it's just silly.

12:23 am

westford

it's good

12:23 am

gremlinn

Although those facial features are definitely not al5ed.

12:24 am

jillibus

grem, that's because you're an old sobersides, maybe ;)

12:25 am

gremlinn

Never heard of that word.

12:25 am

gremlinn

But I am sober for sure!

12:25 am

jillibus

never heard of hi4/8???

12:26 am

gremlinn

"sobersides"

12:26 am

flosey

makes me dizzy to look at it jilli

12:26 am

jillibus

Imagine that! I used a word grem didn't know!

12:26 am

westford

me too lol where did you find it jilli?

12:27 am

gremlinn

Pah. Bezonian.

12:27 am

jillibus

google images for drunk

12:27 am

westford

you know I liked yesterday's grid better than this one

12:27 am

westford

that google has everything lol

12:27 am

gremlinn

You mordant bibliobibuli, you.

12:28 am

jillibus

I did too but just didn't have time to enjoy it. I don't like these little meanies.

12:28 am

jillibus

Oh yes, grem, you use words I don't know all the time, lol!

12:29 am

flosey

I did enjoy yesterdays - except for when I had to find 142 words all over again!

12:29 am

jillibus

Oh? What happened?

12:30 am

flosey

have you ever noticed, on huge grids, sometimes your word list doesn't retain all words? that's what happened, computer was turned off, and when turned on, I lost everything from se5 on and had completed that end

12:31 am

westford

oh how awful

12:31 am

flosey

was a bit annoying!

12:31 am

jillibus

Haven't had that happen, flosey, but Lickety did come on and warn us that there might be a problem with Expert when the grid was so big.

12:31 am

flosey

I didn't think to tell hubby not to turn it off when we went out!

12:32 am

helensgirlkid

I tried turning the computer off again, and lost everything from ro 7 on; but it remembered - so I about went nuts filling in sections of Lickety so I knew what I was missing!

12:33 am

helensgirlkid

Maddeing typing in a word, being told "you have already entered . . ." - just to verify that it was in babble's memory.

12:33 am

flosey

when my computer is turned off, I have to send words to lickety when I turn on again

12:33 am

flosey

yes helen, that's what I was doing

12:33 am

jillibus

so do I now, flosey -- never used to happen.

12:33 am

gremlinn

I don't know if I've ever turned the computer off in the middle of solving one.

12:34 am

gremlinn

Usually I just put it in sleep mode overnight.

12:34 am

flosey

lol grem, perhaps there isn't anyone else using your computer?

12:34 am

jillibus

grem, you finish so fast you've never needed to.

12:34 am

flosey

yes, me too!!

12:34 am

gremlinn

jilli: usually so, yes - I think only once did I not finish in one sitting.

12:35 am

gremlinn

flosey: nope, mine and mine alone

12:35 am

jillibus

I never use sleep mode. Someone told me it's too hard to wake it up.

12:35 am

gremlinn

The only problem is that about half the time the mouse fails to work correctly upon wake-up, but it just takes a few seconds to unplug the USB and plug it back in.

12:36 am

gremlinn

And my new computer's quick about it - takes about 5 seconds to wake up completely.

12:36 am

jillibus

I don't dare try it.

12:36 am

jillibus

Is your new one Windows 7, grem?

12:37 am

gremlinn

Yeah. That's the main reason it's quick.

12:39 am

westford

I think I told you that our oldest granddaughter graduated from UMass

12:39 am

jillibus

Yes -- great, west :)

12:39 am

westford

we are going to host a lobster dinner in Maine for 40 - 50 people

12:40 am

jillibus

Oh yum!!!

12:40 am

westford

should be lots of fun

12:40 am

flosey

congrats to your granddaughter west

12:40 am

12:49 am

12:49 am

westford

I always miss that one

12:49 am

jillibus

ty grem

12:49 am

gremlinn

12:49 am

jillibus

12:49 am

westford

you should have a great time then always love seeing my grands

12:50 am

westford

groan grem lol

12:52 am

Douglas

Sarah Palin's son is in the grid, and he's a word too!

12:52 am

westford

I keep seeing her last name too

12:53 am

gremlinn

Palin herself is a phantom.

12:53 am

jillibus

<-- tries to remember Sarah's son. Hard, cuz usually try to forget all to do with her.

12:53 am

gremlinn

And a real stretch for her first name - got the consonants in a line, anyway.

12:54 am

jillibus

She gives me a pa4.

12:54 am

flosey

lol, Sarah who!

12:54 am

westford

short for type of math

12:54 am

jillibus

Hooray for flosey :D

12:54 am

Douglas

The Hindu goddess Kali is in the grid, but she's not a word. Do Sikhs worship Kali?

12:55 am

gremlinn

It also means "smart and trim, as in appearance; neat" - I'm not sure that as an abbreviation for the type of math it counts - could be, though.

12:55 am

jillibus

algie would be short for algebra but it doesn't work.

12:55 am

gremlinn

Doug: Sikh in the grid, too!

12:56 am

flosey

tr4 works, surely that can't be his name?

12:56 am

gremlinn

I heard "****" and "calc" a lot in school, but never an abbreviation for algebra.

12:56 am

westford

it is

12:56 am

gremlinn

Or geometry, for that matter.

12:57 am

Douglas

That's why I asked. I tried that as a word too...I'm sure I've tried that as a word before. But the fact that it isn't a word meant I could say it without a trip to the PB

12:57 am

jillibus

oh yes, tr4 -- already had that.

12:57 am

jillibus

I keep trying anno, as in a.d., but noooo.

12:58 am

gremlinn

Though it might look so, a ka6 is not a worshipper of any goddesses.

12:58 am

westford

gaaah finally half way now I can list

12:59 am

jillibus

wd west

12:59 am

1:11 am

jillibus

Yes, grem, but it will do ;)

1:11 am

westford

or Opie

1:12 am

flosey

yes, Opie! with the Mayberry gang

1:12 am

gremlinn

That show was a bit too early for me. I was alive for most of it, but too young.

1:12 am

flosey

1:12 am

westford

1:13 am

gremlinn

Even college-aged kids these days are younger than the internet - now even I can feel old.

flosey

1:13 am

KatieMcG

1:13 am

jillibus

1:14 am

westford

1:14 am

KatieMcG

oh no and i've just started adding words :-(

1:14 am

jillibus

katie, flosey, west and I have icon clues

1:15 am

gremlinn

If you're a Persian Scotsman, the grid should be a snap!

1:16 am

gremlinn

Or even a prurient Jewish Scot.

1:16 am

Douglas

alini isn't a word, but blini is a phantom *getting hungry*

1:16 am

KatieMcG

1:17 am

KatieMcG

hmmm Mari is in Scotland with no computer and yet she is shown as being on line, should I go to her house and check they have logged off the computer?

1:17 am

jillibus

1:17 am

westford

maybe she got a laptop and took it with her?

1:17 am

rururocks

phantom: signal

Barb's Horses

1:29 am

Barb's Horses

yes west and that it isn't all in our minds

1:29 am

stidmama

I have almost finished grading the papers for the students to review/edit/revise tomorrow... will do the 6th period papers during planning tomorrow. I am NOT "super teacher" (yet) but I think I am starting to start getting the hang of some of it.

1:30 am

Douglas

Ok, will I need a fish for the southeast solitary i?

1:30 am

gremlinn

in 5/10

1:30 am

Barb's Horses

1:30 am

westford

you're awesome stid !!

1:30 am

stidmama

Tom is scanning some of the papers for me so I can document the level the students are writing at for the master's program.

1:30 am

westford

I think I would have liked to have you for a teacher

1:30 am

Barb's Horses

go stid ..I am sure you do your very best :)

1:30 am

westford

barb maybe you can find a happy medium

1:31 am

Barb's Horses

I would so love that westford

1:31 am

stidmama

BARB!!!! *VERY stern mama look* as someone who has battled severe postpartum depression, debilitating back pain and only JUST got into the garden after 2 years on crutches and cane... you are doing the best you can; there is NO comparison to our mothers that is valid. They are different people with different operating parameters.

1:31 am

sprite

hey where are my other 400 words?

Morning all :)

1:32 am

westford

hi sprite we traded them in for this little meanie

1:32 am

stidmama

AND, Barb... take the good days and enjoy them, and don't sweat the hard days. You will get the important stuff done. *hopes sprite has been listening to my "motherly" advice*

1:32 am

sprite

and I second stid. Firmly.

1:32 am

stidmama

hey spritely !!! *tags sprite gently* you're it!

1:32 am

sprite

hm ok, meanie... at least a challenge ;) Thanks west!

1:32 am

Barb's Horses

okay stid.....okay it is just i use to do so much and now so very little your right though I do try my best...just hard to learn to be limited is all...

1:33 am

sprite

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{stiddie}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

You are it... the bee's knees and the ant's pants.

1:33 am

Barb's Horses

okay okay I will try to remember that...but I hope every so often you will remind me okay?

1:33 am

stidmama

I understand COMPLETELY, Barb. I think most of us who babble are high-achievers when we can be. Well -- for myself, medium-high achiever...

1:34 am

stidmama

ant's pants???? *breaks down laughing* THAT is the FUNNIEST thing I have "heard" all week! roflmao!

1:34 am

stidmama

thanks sprite. :-D

1:34 am

Barb's Horses

oooo bee's knees and ants pants...have not heard that in a very long time

1:34 am

sprite

Barb, exactly the thing you describe now has been my major battle for the last 10 or 12 years. Copy stiddie's comment and hang it on your wall or fridge. You ARE doing the best you can. That makes you a HERO. No kidding. It is tough as hell to be in there and still manage to make things work. Be proud. Please.

1:34 am

stidmama

Okay, I have to finish pulling things together for tomorrow. I have to be up, moving and ready to torture 8th graders again in 6 1/2 hours.

1:35 am

Barb's Horses

thanks sprite and stid and everyone else who has given me a pep talk when I needed it the most

1:35 am

sprite

lol people here know I love learning idiom. A granddaughter of a babbler here said I was the ant's pants because I answered her in chog.

1:35 am

Douglas

thanks grem. Will a deli put an in5 on my cheeseburger?

1:35 am

stidmama

btw Barb, BABBLE is one of the things I credit with helping me through a very rough patch in my life. Gave me the confidence, once I was physically able, to re-enter the world of workers and dreamers of great things.

1:35 am

Barb's Horses

okay bye for now then stidmama

1:35 am

jillibus

2:02 am

jillibus

Hello all

2:37 am

hi lyn!

2:37 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

2:37 am

gremlinn

finished in about 1/5 the time as yesterday's

2:38 am

gremlinn

since it's about 1/5 as many words, I guess it's about the same

2:38 am

Andree

it must be sprite, i am struggling to get any words

2:39 am

sprite

yeah it is a lot tighter. Interesting though.

2:39 am

Andree

but you are not human grem, lol

2:39 am

flosey

Andree, what a lovely group of grandies you have

2:39 am

Douglas

pi6 seems to be an old-fashionedy Bible word that's making a comeback in newer translations

2:39 am

gremlinn

pi6 meaning "The outer rear edge of the wing of a bird, containing the primary feathers" ?

2:40 am

gremlinn

Or "a round gear used in several applications: usually the smallest gear in a gear drive train" ?

2:40 am

flosey

ah, so that describes Sprite's icon clue!

2:40 am

sprite

beautiful, Andree, your icon troupers

2:40 am

Andree

they are aren't they, one will be 4 tomorrow

2:40 am

sprite

lol flosey, no please refresh!

2:41 am

flosey

yes, Sprite, I had forgotten, was thinking of your earlier one and didn't understand it

2:42 am

flosey

guess one doesn't often find feathers on that article Sprite!

2:42 am

flosey

Must get to bed, early day tomorrow

2:42 am

sprite

I didn't want to show off our Princess's tears for another day, so I picked a temporal one before hitting the grid. Updated as soon as I found a good word.

2:43 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey

2:43 am

Douglas

I've always wondered about that, grem. The wing edge, the wing edge. I would hear cars advertising "rack and pi6 steering" as if that were something really cool, and I never got the connection between that and the Bible verses mentioning pi7. It's comforting to know that there isn't one to get.

2:43 am

lynxxx

thank goodness it wasn't li5.14

2:44 am

sprite

off to find lil5.14 :)

2:45 am

3:30 am

rubyfoo

life? life?

3:30 am

sprite

same here, Sally, lol. At the end, I just couldn't think of any more words to try. The li4 was a blessing.

3:30 am

herinfernallady

and I missed it

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

However I am looking blankly at today's and haven't seen a single word.

3:32 am

herinfernallady

I am watching Make me a supermodel USA and one of the girls after her shoot was commented on by the photographer that she was too big to be a model. She is a size 8 and 5 10. sigh

that makes me feel a little better!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

if it's hard for sally, then of course it is hard for me! lol

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

lol, I'm flattered.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

38 words!

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

Phew! Exactly half-way. What a slow-coach I am today.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

this i s very hard and it is freezing again

4:11 am

rubyfoo

how cold is it there, sally?

4:12 am

Kallia

me too Sally...slow going

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

Freezing?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

hi kallia

4:12 am

Kallia

hi ruby

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

My outside thermometer is showing 25.6 C

4:12 am

Kallia

it's hot today

4:13 am

rubyfoo

wow, here it's around 10C

4:13 am

rubyfoo

still no roses or peonies

4:13 am

rubyfoo

tulips are still continuing....

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

That's about 78 F for anyone who needs it.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

more than a month later than usual

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

You are high up, aren't you though ruby?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

about 1200 ft

4:14 am

rubyfoo

there is still snow on the mountains but we usually have many flowers in April and May

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I am praying that the fish are just hiding because of the cold, but my poor husband is so sad because he thinks that they are all gone

4:15 am

rubyfoo

he's a total mess

4:16 am

rubyfoo

grieving

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, so you don't know for sure? I'm so sorry he is sad. Couldn't you sneak some replacements in without him knowing?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I think the heron would come back immediately!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

that's a good idea, though

4:17 am

rubyfoo

we saw 4 fish two days ago, but none since and he's been in the pond (in his waders)

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, well you really need to have some protection in place before that. Like with our hens - we can't get any more until we have our electric fence up and running

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

He might tread on the fish, ruby!!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

in the past, when he's gone in the pond, they've all nibbled on his legs. I think they were so tame, thought the heron was going to feed them

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I think netting would be impossible with the waterlilies

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

It also helps to have places where they can hide. We have some old terracotta pipes in our pond where the newts and frogs/tadpoles can hang out.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

there were reeds, potsa, floating plants, etc plenty of places to hide. I just think that they came up and offered themselves to the heron-god!

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

What about these things? <http://www.netfloat.co.uk/>

4:21 am

rubyfoo

checking

4:27 am

rubyfoo

sally, that looks like a great idea! I sent the site to my husband

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

This might give you some ideas as well: <http://www.buildyourownpond.biz/house
-fish/heron-at-fishpond.html>

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

I thought it looked unobtrusive, ruby

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I am not organizing my trip! Will let you know by tomorrow AM what is actually happening

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, I don't think I can meet you in London, sadly. I've sprained a ligament in my knee and it is unbelievably painful. Running round London and jumping on and off buses is probably not a good idea for a week or so. I hope very much there will be another time though.

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

How was your son's visit?

4:31 am

rubyfoo

there will CERTAINLY be another time Sally!!!! I very much want to meet you. My son's visit was good and bad - only sons (1st husband, John, 2nd husband, etc) are all the same, always right and at the tops of their voices. I feel demolished and will be glad to get out of here, even if only for 3 days!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

and I'll see my nephew and his family and have some good food and have big English breakfasts in my hotel!

4:32 am

Atalante

SAlly, are you copying me???

4:32 am

Sally-catlover

How old is your son? Mine used to be like that until he had his own son. Now, suddely, is he is all growed up!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I don't even know if my sister is coming or not as her husband is gravely ill.....

4:32 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry about your sister and husband :-(

4:32 am

rubyfoo

he's 46! Just an expert on everything as is his wife and my husband.

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

A bully always needs a victim to survive. Don't be that victim!

4:33 am

rubyfoo

is your husband an only son, too?

4:33 am

KatieMcG

gosh I seem to be the only babbler without a bad knee!

4:33 am

rubyfoo

when he and I are alone, it is OK, but as soon as my husband is in the room, it becomes unbearable.

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

No, my husband is one of three, the oldest. Has a brother and sister.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

how about ata's husband?

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby, well it's easy to work that one out!

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

I also have a brother and sister, but I was the youngest.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

yes, I usually "drifted" off

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

Katie, I'm glad your knee is OK :-)

4:34 am

rubyfoo

yes, katie!!

4:35 am

Atalante

hwe has an older sister

4:35 am

KatieMcG

well I hope yours and ata's get better soon

4:35 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, hallo Ata, didn't see you there :-)

4:35 am

rubyfoo

at least my clothes are good for the trip!

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, mine isn't anything as bad as Ata's.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

even if my hair is a catastrophe!

4:36 am

Atalante

you need a bondage brace too :D

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

Clothes? Clean T-shirt and spare undies is normally all I pack.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

I have to go make lunch, see you all after!

4:36 am

KatieMcG

I still need to go shopping, get my eyebrows and toes done, pack and then get ready, alll before 4.30 - I really should be getting on with things lol

4:37 am

rubyfoo

no, I need to dress up for 3 parties

4:37 am

Atalante

for the wedding?

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

I have a knee support but don't much like wearing it. However, I have been told to rest, so no washing up for me. Big false si4

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

brb

4:37 am

KatieMcG

yep, Mari has gone up with about 4 bags for me and now I need to sort out the camera etc

4:38 am

Atalante

4:38 am

Atalante

If I have to wear mine at all times, you can too :P

4:39 am

Atalante

ooo fun Katie!

4:39 am

KatieMcG

i'm really looking forward to it but will be glad when the readings are out of the way

Atalante

hi annie!

6:36 am

Anniebrook

Hello Ata...how's the leg? Is FM coming to visit today?

6:44 am

Mom

Good morning everyone. This is a more managable grid today.

6:44 am

Anniebrook

((Mom)) I thought I was the only one here.

6:45 am

Mom

{{Annie}} hello.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

I had 72 left yesterday and couldnt come back to finish. Did you finish that monster yesterday?

6:46 am

Mom

oh heavens no, I stopped with 200 left

6:47 am

Atalante

no FM :( She has an abscess behind a tooth, poor dear :(

6:47 am

Anniebrook

This grid is not as friendly as yesterday. The gerund ending is somewhat helpful.

6:48 am

Mom

oh how painful. {{FM}}
Hi Ata, how are you doing?

6:48 am

carleekat

hi all

6:48 am

Anniebrook

Oh poor FM! I feel badly for her. I hope it is being taken care of soon.

Anniebrook

hello hurshy..have that one...this grid is a pa** in the butt

7:24 am

hurshy

just singing... :)

7:24 am

Anniebrook

singing is good

7:25 am

hurshy

tomorrow is the Big Day for my uncle

7:26 am

Anniebrook

is there a wedding?

7:26 am

hurshy

yep

7:26 am

hurshy

it's such a Good Thing for him

7:27 am

hurshy

his first wife left him and married someone else. and then later that year his cat died and he got in a bad skiing accident. this was years ago.

7:28 am

Anniebrook

I wish your Uncle and his bride a long and happy life together.

7:29 am

hurshy

and then a few years ago he found this woman who actually went to his same high school, back east, but now they both live in colorado! they knew each other vaguely back then and they got to know each other more now and she was also divorced in a sad way and now they are happy.

7:29 am

hurshy

she is very nice, has spent time with us a few christmases since they got together.

7:30 am

Anniebrook

They have a sort of history. You see, there is sometimes a silver lining. Happy ending.

7:30 am

hurshy

thank you annie

7:31 am

hurshy

yes, happy ending (for some people anyway!)

7:32 am

Anniebrook

yes, they are lucky. sometimes you have to manufacture your own happy ending.

7:32 am

pabtrek

Congratulations to your uncle, hursh, may they have a long and happy marriage.

7:33 am

hurshy

the other day we met this guy and his wife, married 35 years. he said, "it's important to be happy". and i said, "or just married for 35 years". (they did not immediately grasp my cynical humor)

7:35 am

Anniebrook

being married for 35 years and not happily is sort of a jail sentence. maybe he just settled but you never know about people.

7:35 am

hurshy

no, they did seem happy. i was reflecting my own feelings.

7:36 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, If you are going through some hard times I am sorry.

7:37 am

carleekat

20 years is a jail sentence too

7:37 am

hurshy

it's not hard times... it just is what it is.

7:37 am

Anniebrook

yes, carlee, but werent you paroled?

7:38 am

Riverdance

*can I come out now*

7:38 am

carleekat

i am now

7:38 am

Anniebrook

yes, momneeds come out and play

7:38 am

carleekat

just dealing with all the crap that goes with parole...like getting ready to sell home and find a place for kids and I

7:38 am

Riverdance

*happily skipping to join friends*

7:39 am

Anniebrook

yes, carlee, that is a hassle

7:39 am

Riverdance

I have my own jail sentence going - you are a brave girl to take that step with kids

7:40 am

Merk

Good morning ... traveling again and computer broke. Haven't been here for a week. I can't find Lickety ... is there a list anywhere?

7:40 am

Anniebrook

merk, lickety has a list today

7:40 am

Riverdance

havent looked since lickety is working

7:41 am

Merk

Then my computer is really giving me grief! ty for the info.

7:41 am

Merk

My lickety shows 184 words, but the grid says 102. There's a hiccough somewhere here.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

try refreshing, merk

7:42 am

Merk

I did, several times.

7:42 am

Anniebrook

that is the extent of my computer knowledge..sorry merk

7:42 am

Merk

I just tried it at firefox and got the list. Wonder what's wrong with my IE.

7:43 am

Anniebrook

glad you got the list.

dealing with husband who is heartsick about his lost fish and taking it out on me! sally found a possible solution, but they don't deliver in France

8:44 am

rubyfoo

I'll have to have my nephew mail it from London

8:44 am

Riverdance

oh Ruby

8:45 am

rubyfoo

he keeps going outside and looking at the pond....it's sad

8:45 am

rubyfoo

I put a bronze antique heron on th edge, but it's too late

8:46 am

Riverdance

loss of his pet (fish or not) is sad

8:46 am

rubyfoo

of course it is, but it's very hard to comfort someone who is so nasty

8:47 am

rubyfoo

we both fell apart when we last lost a dog prematurely

8:47 am

Riverdance

trust me I understand that

8:48 am

rubyfoo

I found our 2-year-old chow Cleo dead in the snow; it was about the worst thing I ever experienced

8:48 am

Riverdance

oh no - that is horrible

8:48 am

rubyfoo

if a dog is older, although it is still heartbreaking, it's not unexpected

8:48 am

Riverdance

its hard enough when its old age

8:48 am

Atalante

poor ruby! that must have been horrid

8:49 am

rubyfoo

Rufus was 10, which is not so bad for a chow chow. But if we hadn't lost Cleo, we wouldn't have my Ruby!

8:49 am

rubyfoo

and then, of course, there's Max, who, by the way, has totally changed in the past two weeks and now wants me to pet him! After 6 years, it's amazing!

8:51 am

Riverdance

thats great ruby

8:51 am

Atalante

awww Max!

8:51 am

rubyfoo

he is so happy when I pet him that he drools!

8:52 am

rubyfoo

it's still not every day, but more and more, this from a dog who would flinch every time he was touched and couldn't make eye contact and was afraid of his food bowl

8:52 am

Riverdance

clue for the ka6 please

8:52 am

Atalante

awwwwwwwwwwwwww

8:53 am

mom2han8

Animals are funny.... my cat recently learned to hiss at 11 years old... he does not do it in anger...he just found his hisser and now spends much of his time scaring himself... LOL!

8:53 am

Riverdance

maybe he finally grew out of the autism

8:53 am

rubyfoo

he's still on his meds and I still hand-feed him, but it's a huge improvement and he's very soft and lovable!

8:54 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute, mom2!

8:54 am

rubyfoo

I'm reluctant to take him off his meds

8:54 am

mom2han8

Yes... it is hysterical, actually.

8:54 am

Riverdance

lol Mom

8:54 am

rubyfoo

I got th idea for the meds in the first place from a book by Temple Grandin. Nobody around here thought that a dog could be autistic

8:55 am

rubyfoo

maybe you can make a youtube video, mom2

8:55 am

mom2han8

ka6... ka + an animal that roars (but use a different second vowel).

8:55 am

rubyfoo

lovely clue

8:55 am

mom2han8

Yes... I probably could... if I knew how to use technology... I should get my teenager to do it.

8:56 am

Riverdance

8:56 am

8:56 am

9:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judy. I do "well" on some days (at most 9 stars) and horrendous on others. Triplet Scramble + Scrambled Word confound me most days.

Hi everybody

9:44 am

EvaNadine

scrabbler -- we are over worked right now. understaffed: 1-2 people down, depending how you count it, one person whose hours got cut back, and one person who is basically useless.

i *almost* feel bad for going away right now, but oh well! i need the rest and relaxation!

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Back from phone call. Hi bb. Eva, my former office had many useless workers, so I am familiar with that situation.

10:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy! How are you doing with CPAP and diet?

10:41 am

Scrabbler

She injured her knee a few wks ago--torn MCL and possibly more.

10:42 am

Atalante

10:42 am

Atalante

MRIs are equally scarce on the NHS ...

10:42 am

crosshair

diet is going well,the cpap is a evil torture device lol,last night i managed 5 hours with the thing before i had to remove it

10:42 am

Scrabbler

What bothers you with it?

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Phantom = (bird) anhinga

10:43 am

crosshair

when at full pressue after it ramps up it is hard exhale,plus im a tad claustrophobic

10:44 am

crosshair

mine is set by dr at 8

10:44 am

Scrabbler

You will get better at exhaling vs pressure. And switch to nasal cushions--I prefer this to mask.

10:44 am

Scrabbler

My pressure is 8 too.

10:45 am

crosshair

it came with nasal mask,but i do 90% of ny night breathing through my mouth:(

10:45 am

Atalante

I can't picture nasal cushions

10:45 am

Scrabbler

Well, you had to before but now you must breathe through your nose.

10:46 am

Scrabbler

Ata, manufacturer for mine = Opus, a company in Oz.

10:46 am

crosshair

tie my chin shut?? lol

10:46 am

Scrabbler

There is a mask that covers mouth + nose or just mouth. Or use duct tape, Crossy.

10:47 am

crosshair

mine is fisher/paykel

10:47 am

Scrabbler

That it a big name in CPAP equipment.

10:47 am

Atalante

10:52 am

crosshair

i cannot do much hiking,i walk so many miles in a day,my feet swell after i sit down for 10 minutes after work ;(

Scrabbler

I will hike through the park, on the roads, not in woods, and stop at different picnic tables to read + eat/drink.

10:53 am

Atalante

10:53 am

Scrabbler

So, I must make lunch, gather snacks, fill hydration pack, slather on sunscreen + bug repellant, out book in pack...and take off.

10:54 am

Crossy, wt loss and improvement with CPAP may help a lot.

10:54 am

crosshair

10:54 am

Scrabbler

Thanks, Crossy. If it helps, the rabbit was dead many decades ago, and since they've already killed it, re-using it each year seems good. Then again, I love leather and eat meat. I don't really have qualms about the whole thing :)

30 is fine. 40 is hot!

11:57 am

Uniquity

I can do 30c, but when we go around 35 and 40 (kinda rare around here, but we had a 'heat wave' last summer) I get grouchy. 26 is the best, I think!

11:57 am

crosshair

i prefer 20c or so,around 70 f

11:57 am

FMitch

11:58 am

jmcnrick

There's a Japanese word in every third grid that i just never see. i get so cross when i've had it clued and then realised what it is.

3:31 pm

Soodle

My son is working in Cornwall, and he says its like the Med down there.

3:31 pm

guernseygirl

Barbecues are being brought out of sheds and garden chairs dusted down.

3:31 pm

guernseygirl

It's just on the verge of being too hot for my enjoyment, but it'd be great to be near the sea

3:32 pm

Soodle

Tomorrow, I plan to spend the day on my Frying Pan. The kids have a trampoline out our back garden, and I do a good impersonation of the DaVinci drawing - me spreadeagled on the trampoline, soaking up rays. Cant wait!!

3:32 pm

guernseygirl

you are clearly a real sun-worshipper

3:34 pm

Soodle

I just love the sun. AND! I can say it is medicinal. i am persecuted with psoriasis, and sun is the only thing that relieves it. So, I have a great excuse.

3:35 pm

guernseygirl

i love to be outside, but i need a breeze or some shade to really enjoy it.

3:36 pm

Soodle

Goodness, after the winter we have had - I think everybody needs a dose of Vitamin D!

3:37 pm

jmcnrick

not me soodle the sun makes me break into a rash

3:37 pm

guernseygirl

You're right, although i think we get overexcited when the sun finally comes and think it's going to last for the rest of the summer, when it'll probably go cold again in a few days, as per usual

3:38 pm

guernseygirl

it's fashionable to be very pale, jmc

3:38 pm

jmcnrick

careful guernsey to use sunblock!

3:38 pm

jmcnrick

well then I am very fashionable! lol

3:39 pm

Soodle

Jmc - I have psoriasis all year round. After some sun, it dies down a bit. I feel almost human.

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

I know that psoriasis benefits from sun. I have very mild psoriasis but a very bad allergy to sun.

3:41 pm

guernseygirl

do you know if it does anything for exzema?

3:41 pm

Soodle

I have tried every pharmaceutical remedy for my condition (which is stress-related) and sun is the only help.

3:42 pm

Soodle

GG,not sure about the benefits of sun for exzema. Very different condition from psoriasis.

3:43 pm

jmcnrick

sun is good eczema too but you have to be careful not to have too much sun or you will graduate to skin lesions

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

<==very big on natural rememdys

3:44 pm

guernseygirl

i've got a small patch on my upper arm. the doc gave me hydrocortisone but it's had no effect. perhaps i'd do better to try something natural

3:45 pm

Soodle

JMC, have you found anything that works for your psoriasis?

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

they think the reason sum is good for these skin things is the vitamin D

3:46 pm

guernseygirl

thanks for the correct spellign jmc. i knew i'd got it wrong when i typed it but couldn't think what was right

3:46 pm

jmcnrick

lol spell check was made for people like me!

6:34 pm

Riverdance

he is not an easy person and you may be right. He is still smoking, at least now hiding it. It does irritate me but I dont say a word anymore. He has done whatever he thought would make me crack and it hasnt worked - so patting myself on back - now I dont care - its totally for me

6:35 pm

Mom

oh that is just rotten to do something like that

6:35 pm

Riverdance

I DO feel better - not huffing going up stairs, no more coughing, bet ya I dont even snore anymore since I havent woken myself up in a long time

6:37 pm

Riverdance

As I have been reminded, I did this for me and that is absolutely right

6:37 pm

Mom

they may not say out loud but you can bet they have notices

6:37 pm

Riverdance

and as I told my husband - one vice at a time - smoking is probably the hardest

6:38 pm

Mom

you have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of your kids

6:38 pm

Riverdance

next will be exercise - thinking of joining the local curves just for something but talking with another softball Mom and we are going to start walking together

6:38 pm

Mom

I did well on Curves (that is until I broke a rib) then I couldn't go back for a long time

6:39 pm

Riverdance

Barb's Horses

7:43 pm

Riverdance

Hello Barb

7:43 pm

Barb's Horses

frustrated with our pool and now the gird and you red?

7:43 pm

Riverdance

i'm just hanging out

7:44 pm

Riverdance

Hi red

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I am regretting starting this grid this morning before work. I am really exhausted. Been a while since I felt this tired.

7:44 pm

Riverdance

grid is small but challenging - lots of backwards vowels

7:44 pm

Barb's Horses

do you have a long weekend in the states this weekend..we have one here

7:45 pm

redturtlehead

yes, well, I wish I had avoided it, especially after yesterday.

7:45 pm

Riverdance

not this weekend - next though

7:45 pm

redturtlehead

I dont know Barb, I think we have one coming up for our Memorial day.

7:45 pm

Riverdance

red - that is next weekend

7:46 pm

Riverdance

I know because I was talking under my breath about recital being on Saturday of a holiday weekend

7:46 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, the next weekend. I dont really get holidays when others do.

7:46 pm

Barb's Horses

I am starting to think we are not suppose to have a pool this year...got it all filled once only to discover a leak at the bottom and had to drain it...then our new salt water system was being awkward and now it appears our pump for the filter has packed it in...not getting ahead at all

7:46 pm

Riverdance

yes the medical field

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

barbs, a pool is a little painful there is always something to do for it...

7:47 pm

Boobear

clue for hi 4/8

7:47 pm

Riverdance

we sold our pool last year - after several years of no sun in the summer in NH - no one wants to go into a pool less than 70 degrees - forget it - too much work for no fun

7:48 pm

Barb's Horses

yes but when it gets hot it really helps me deal with my FM

7:48 pm

Riverdance

Boo = take the hi** road

7:48 pm

redturtlehead

I use the one at the gym, and let them maintain it, but not eveyrone has a gym with a spotless sparkling pool.

7:48 pm

Barb's Horses

If I let him my son would be in there right now in 60 degree water....way to cold

7:49 pm

Riverdance

we dont have enough warm weather here in NH to deal with a pool - we tried for 4 years - forget it!!!

7:49 pm

Riverdance

even my kids wouldnt go in

7:49 pm

Barb's Horses

well I am still hoping but lately very frustrating

7:50 pm

Riverdance

Barb - you are probably colder than we are unless you have an open area to sun all day long =- we dont, very wooded

7:51 pm

redturtlehead

I am just glad that someone else deals with the pool situation in my life.

7:52 pm

Barb's Horses

it gets very warm here in the afternoon and have it sitting so it is in the sun most of the day...we swam in it last year at only 72 degrees...

7:52 pm

Riverdance

I wish someone could deal with all my issues in life - getting tired

7:52 pm

Riverdance

sorry

7:52 pm

Barb's Horses

I would go to the local center but most of the time the changing rooms are an absolute mess and so many people you can't swim anyways

7:53 pm

Riverdance

we have a very nice lake with town beach 10 minutes from the house - its great for a quick dip after work

7:53 pm

redturtlehead

Only the pool issue is dealt with in mine, Mom, I am utterly tired today it was pretty horrid.

7:53 pm

Barb's Horses

aw hang in there mom....we all get like that for sure...I tie a knot at the end of my rope and just swing..but after awhile your butt starts to hurt :)

7:54 pm

Barb's Horses

(((hugs))) for mom and red

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

yes, if you have too many people, the local pool is no good. This is part of a National triathlete trining center, so things are nice there.

7:54 pm

Riverdance

thanks friends

7:54 pm

Riverdance

and I love that analogy

7:55 pm

Barb's Horses

7:57 pm

Barb's Horses

7:57 pm

Riverdance

8:00 pm

Barb's Horses

Riverdance

unfortunately it my own that is adding to it all - so despite it all, I am doing it - have to keep telling myself but I really am and proud of me

8:01 pm

Riverdance

one vice at a time - smoking (gone) exercise(will be starting shortly as breath comes back) weight loss (goes along with exercise) husband (hmmmm)

8:03 pm

Riverdance

here I am again stopping the chat - will say good night - enjoy the game before it gets too late

8:03 pm

LeslieAnn

8:39 pm

featherbee

8:39 pm

lbdawger

i think anyone who got close to half or more did really good with the grid! it was definitly worth 3 grids in one.

8:39 pm

LeslieAnn

BUT you can add "not off" and get a word

8:39 pm

featherbee

went to 247 with it

8:39 pm

lbdawger

you're in OUR dictionary, Pini!

8:39 pm

8:41 pm

Bugsaw

Hello everyone.

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

8:41 pm

Pinikula

8:42 pm

Bugsaw

HI pini too. You are almost in the grid if you change your last vowel to the first one.

8:43 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

8:43 pm

redturtlehead

It's a close knit community, Emergency Nurses and the Sherriff office, we interact a bit much for them to make someone mad, but I was really zipping along.

8:43 pm

Pinikula

I feel popular (sorta) ;)

8:43 pm

redturtlehead

so fat man, and infants. and and and.

8:43 pm

8:44 pm

Bugsaw

Hi lbd. Gotta love Maxine. I was supposed to be preparing a vegetable garden today but I went downtown instead. Found out all kinds of stores I liked closed over a year ago. sigh

8:44 pm

lbdawger

well, an adventure nonetheless.

8:45 pm

redturtlehead

I am looking forward to it, to all of it.

8:45 pm

Riverdance

that is quite a face on your icon bugsaw

8:45 pm

lbdawger

saved you money, Bugs! now you just buy those veggies all ready grown and plant them in your garden. no one will know the difference!

8:45 pm

Bugsaw

New people to work with can make a new job more fun too red

8:45 pm

Pinikula

I met my new program director today...

8:45 pm

LeslieAnn

it reminds me of the dramatic prairie dog

8:45 pm

Pinikula

...I'm not impressed :(

8:45 pm

redturtlehead

400 pound people are indeed people too and need lots of understanding probably more so than regular sized peoples.

8:46 pm

redturtlehead

I hope so. Ooooh Pini, that is not good news, maybe the Diretor can improve with age?

8:46 pm

lbdawger

uh oh, Pini.

8:46 pm

Bugsaw

thanks Mom. The icon one day was frowns and this one still cracks me up so I haven't changed it. The kid can give the evil eye at just a few days old

8:46 pm

featherbee

i'm watching this week's biggest loser right now.

8:46 pm

Riverdance

wicked

8:47 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh bugs I looked, that kid is giving the evil eye!!!

8:47 pm

Pinikula

not so sure, red...first impression: he's too passive and will get walked on by current faculty :(

8:47 pm

Riverdance

dont blow it - I havent watched it yet - recorded it on dvr

8:47 pm

redturtlehead

maybe over the summer he can go to the gym and grow a spine?

8:47 pm

Pinikula

...and the outgoing director and I just got it to the point where some are already talking about asking her back when the new director's term is over

8:47 pm

featherbee

k, won't say anything

8:47 pm

lbdawger

maybe he's just a quiet volcano, Pini

8:48 pm

Pinikula

will have to wait and see...but so far...still not impressed

8:48 pm

lbdawger

brb

8:48 pm

Riverdance

I am so bad - love the Biggest Loser - watch it every week and eat ice cream or what ever while watching

8:48 pm

Bugsaw

I think it is good idea to come in passive and let people know what you've got when it is needed. Don't give up on him yet pini

8:48 pm

Pinikula

ag6?

8:48 pm

Pinikula

I won't...I'll be keeping my eye on him

9:01 pm

Riverdance

one parent last year at baseball got upset with the ref for a bad call (so what) we tried to talk him down, well didnt work, cops got called - kids got lectured and they had nothing to do with it - I felt bad for the kids for one bad parent

9:02 pm

Riverdance

*x's here*

9:02 pm

lbdawger

that's too bad. poor kids have to suffer for some testerone poisoned adult. ;(

9:02 pm

Bugsaw

that is a terrible story Mom. Bad calls happen but no kid wants to win because their parent went overboard.

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

I hated how some parents would browbeat the young refs.

9:03 pm

Pinikula

(she will be the youngest varsity coach in the area)

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

Your daughter must be quite an athlete pini

9:03 pm

volleyball is much harder than anyone thinks - I was flabbergasted with the rules and formality with the high school sport - I expected kids to just pop the ball around - but NOOOOO

9:03 pm

9:04 pm

Pinikula

ROFL, lbd...too funny

9:04 pm

Riverdance

thats awesome Pini - will cheer her on for that top spot

9:04 pm

Pinikula

It is interesting, mnh...I'll give it that...but still love doing it (more so when I became a coach and ref); scorekeeping is easier, too :)

9:04 pm

9:30 pm

Minveryork

Here is a story of clues from a somebody who ha4/5s from NY.I'm ai 6/24 from complete boredom; finished grid early.In my opi6/21,this grid wasn't bad.Others may have different opi7/32, but I liked this one.This grid didn't make me want to pull my ha4/5. I finished earlier with help from the li 4/4. My monkey was not a pa4/5. I didn't have to threaten him with a pa5/16 The monkey hit the na4/4 right on the head with my last word. But my ranking is still not too hi4/8.If you look at my Babble hi4/5ory,you'll see why my ranking is bad. Yesterday I did not Babble at all because grid was too big. I didn't want to ri4/8 starting and then not finishing grid.It ir4/8 me when I do not get FWs. I hope you got the gi 4/6 of some of my clues. Now I am going to go iron a sk5/18 & watch the Mel Gibson scary movie si4/6s. Goodnight to my fellow babblers.

9:31 pm
