2:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm all excited! I just saved a young hawk that flew into my living room through the open front door. I heard a noise from the kitchen, thinking a bird had crashed into a window from the outside, but he was fluttering around, banging into things in an absolute panic.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm all excited! I just saved a young hawk that flew into my living room through the open front door. I heard a noise from the kitchen, thinking a bird had crashed into a window from the outside, but he was fluttering around, banging into things in an absolute panic.

2:40 am

Trifioso

ruby! shut the door! you will let a hawk in!

2:40 am

Trifioso

LOL....and well done you!

2:41 am

melissamay

That's so cool ruby, thanks for helping the hawk.

2:41 am

rubyfoo

He was beautiful and possibly young, but not small. I got a dishtowel and wrapped it around his substantial shoulders, calmed him down and released him. Wow! That makes me so happy!

2:41 am

flosey

wow, good for you ruby

2:41 am

rubyfoo

smal birds fly in from time to time but, more often, crash into the kitchen windows near the feeder, but this was different

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I can't stop smilling!

2:42 am

melissamay

That's such a happy feeling, so wonderful. You did good!

2:42 am

Trifioso

I love when our regular lives intersect with nature in unexpected ways. So cool, and how wonderful you were right there to help!

2:42 am

flosey

we've had birds come in here too ruby, I usually catch them in a towel and release them outside again

2:42 am

rubyfoo

How is everybody? I love living in the country!

2:43 am

rubyfoo

jumping in for a few minutes

2:43 am

flosey

I do too ruby, we seldom see neighbours - unless intentionally

2:43 am

Trifioso

can't sleep again....

2:44 am

melissamay

I wish I did too, ruby. I have to content myself with saving spiders and petting stray cats.

2:44 am

melissamay

oh and watching birds in the yard -- not quite the stuff of wild kingdom.

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I save spiders, too, but only the daddy long legs and the argiopes. The big, black ones that jump I squish!

2:45 am

melissamay

I can't help it -- I think Charlotte's Web got to me at an impressionable age. I even save the scary ones.

2:46 am

melissamay

And bees, while my husband shakes his head. But I haven't been bit or stung yet, knock on wood.

2:48 am

KatieMcG

I do not know 23 K words *stomps off in a strop to the grid*

2:48 am

abolutely, mellissa! I grew up with a sister who was terrified of spiders and I got over it when I read Charlotte!

2:49 am

2:50 am

Awesome ruby, I think that started me off on loving animals in general -- not that I needed much encouragement!

2:51 am

melissamay

Yes sweet dreams jilli.

2:51 am

oh my name is in the grid :-)

2:52 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

the name of a m8 of mine is in the grid as well, like it would work if accepted, not scattered, never knew it was a word other than a proper name!

2:53 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

it's the ka4/9 word

2:54 am

melissamay

Think I'll say good night/day too -- best of luck with the beastly grid everyone!

sandyloo

Hi ruby, how is the hubby today?

2:59 am

rubyfoo

hello sandy. He's gone off to Geneva alone to his dentist (6th time in less than 2 months). Driving with him is unbearable and I think he needs the time alone. His arm is healing beautifully, but he is depressed and complaining about everything.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I just rescued a hawl in my living room!

3:00 am

rubyfoo

is your husband still away? how is your wine flask doing?

3:00 am

sandyloo

a hawl?

3:00 am

rubyfoo

hawk*

3:00 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:01 am

rubyfoo

it flew in the front door and was knocking everything over in his panic

3:01 am

sandyloo

husband will be away for some time, and what is a hawk doing in your living room, do you have mice?

3:01 am

rubyfoo

I wrapped him in a dish towel, calmed him down, and carried him back out

3:01 am

rubyfoo

not in the house that I've seen, but certainly outside.

3:02 am

sandyloo

wine cellar is ok and I am going down south for 5 days soon (with my sisterand her fellow) so I will be able to restock, it is our wine area

3:02 am

rubyfoo

I've only seen hawks at a distance before, usully flying over the field above us, making circles, hunting

3:02 am

rubyfoo

I love rescuing birds as little ones fly into the house fairly often, but I've never handled one this big before

3:03 am

rubyfoo

I've never had Australian wine? What is the specialty?

3:03 am

sandyloo

well done then, we have hawks here which try to catch the mice in the paddocks

3:04 am

rubyfoo

did I tell you that my friend's 32 year old mare died last week?

3:04 am

sandyloo

Australian wine is fabulous, we are famous for good wine and have a large wine industry

3:04 am

sandyloo

ooh that is sad, I hate it when horses die - did she have it put down

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I don't think France imports it! I wonder why? hahah

3:04 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo everyone! Long time no see.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

French wine is much less good than it used to be

3:05 am

rubyfoo

hello sally

3:05 am

sandyloo

hmmm, maybe I can send you some wine - do you like red or white? and can you send wine through the post?

3:05 am

Sally-catlover

mmm, Australian wine. It's all we drink since our trip hundreds of years ago.

3:06 am

sandyloo

One of our whites won a world championship a few years ago

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I doubt it, Sandy, but that is a very sweet idea. When you come and visit, you can bring a bottle and we'll have taste tests!!!!

3:07 am

sandyloo

Im sure I could send you some, I will look into it

3:07 am

rubyfoo

I am so sick of local wines, that I've begun drinking rose (blah) from Provence.

3:07 am

sandyloo

My best friend has a vineyard so I will ask her

3:07 am

lexi

Does anyone have stats in their profile?

3:07 am

rubyfoo

what kinds of grapes?

3:07 am

rubyfoo

hi lexi

3:07 am

lexi

hey there

3:08 am

sandyloo

she gives me cartons of it, and her property down south is like a resort (good friend tohave- I am godmother to her son)

3:08 am

rubyfoo

yesterday I made strained cooked plums with sugar and vodka -- served over ice, it wasn't bad just looked kind of mucky

3:08 am

sandyloo

she has cabernet, merlot, sav blanc

3:09 am

sandyloo

she might have some chardonay as well

3:09 am

rubyfoo

lovely

3:09 am

sandyloo

but if I sent some I would choose some from all over

3:09 am

rubyfoo

you are too nice!

3:10 am

sandyloo

You sound like the perfect wife there Ruby

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I will look in the stores here, but I think their "Chauvinism" definitely comes into play regarding wine

3:10 am

rubyfoo

yes, especially since I made husband go to Geneva alone! raofl

3:10 am

sandyloo

We export wine to England dont know about France

3:10 am

Sally-catlover

I hasve never found Oz wine in France, ruby.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

he only drinks martinis, the vodka/plum smush was for me!

3:11 am

sandyloo

Is geneva far?

3:11 am

Sally-catlover

Lots of it in stores here.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

45 minutes

3:11 am

sandyloo

What do you like Sally?

3:11 am

Sally-catlover

We like Wolf Blass if we can afford it.

3:12 am

flosey

ok, 85 for tomorrow, I'm off to bed now, goodnight all

3:12 am

sandyloo

I have wolf blass chardonay in my fridge at the moment because it is cheap here! it figures

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I am very curious now, but I'll bet they keep it out or, at least, charge a lot extra, trying to protect their own dwindling quality

3:13 am

sandyloo

about $10 a bottle

3:13 am

Sally-catlover

We wait till it's on offer then buy.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I've written the name down aND will see

3:14 am

sandyloo

We have better wines here than that, but I do like that Wolf Blass

3:14 am

sandyloo

South Australia has some great reds and West Aus has some great whites

3:15 am

rubyfoo

husband won't even taste American wines

3:15 am

Sally-catlover

We had some when in Australia and liked it, so when we saw it here we bought some (Yellow Label is one we like best) but we also buy plenty of others. We get lots of Hardys, Banrock, Penfold in the shops.

3:15 am

sandyloo

Wolf Blass is south aus, mine is a wolf blass 2009 chardonay that i have at the moment

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

Don't buy very expensive wines.

3:16 am

sandyloo

mine is yellow label , what do you pay for it there Sally?

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, I meant that /we/ don't buy them, not that no-one else should. Realise it sounded like an instruction!

3:16 am

rubyfoo

when I was still dating (between husbands), various boyfriends used to try to impress me with great French wines. Those days are long gone!!!!! :(

3:17 am

sandyloo

Me either Sal, but when I go out to dinner , I take a better quality wine

3:18 am

Sally-catlover

The Yellow Label is about Â£8 a bottle, which is about 13-14 Aus dollars, but we can often get it for about Â£5 when on offer, then we buy 6 at a time and get a further discount!

3:18 am

sandyloo

Ok not a lot of difference then and I do the same thing here

3:18 am

sandyloo

Ok not a lot of difference then and I do the same thing here

3:19 am

rubyfoo

only one good word for me, so far, ci7/32, the semi-precious stone

3:19 am

Sally-catlover

I got that one! They are in my engagement ring.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

lovely!

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

It was an antique. Didn't want anything conventional second time round.

3:21 am

rubyfoo

I love antique jewelry but, unfortunately, husband likes new pieces that he has made to his own designs.

3:21 am

sandyloo

Ruby, are you using babble expert yet? although without lickety it is a waste

3:21 am

sandyloo

Your husband sounds quite the romantic Ruby

3:22 am

rubyfoo

My only old things are an amber nuecklace he found in London and a silver George Jensen pin that I found at a Salvation Army in upstate NY for $15!

3:22 am

sandyloo

wow

3:22 am

rubyfoo

his gifts of jewelry are not for wearing in the country!

3:22 am

rubyfoo

used to be.....

3:23 am

sandyloo

that means they are too impressive for the country

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I wore some of them when I was in London, but was aftraid I'd be robbed so wore my ring backwards. etc.

3:23 am

sandyloo

Mother nature is our enemy Ruby, age gets to all of us

3:23 am

rubyfoo

some faster than others....

3:23 am

Sally-catlover

I can't use expert on a Mac, but I did manage to do some grids while away. The first day I printed out the grid hastily before I got on the train, and did it in pen on the train, then I input the words using my phone!

3:24 am

sandyloo

LOL sal, that is devotion

3:24 am

rubyfoo

but I've lost so many friends, my age but mostly younger, that I feel very lucky to be around!!! And it's almost 20 years since my cancer!

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

And, and, it's very expensive visiting my son, because he took me to the Apple store, and I bought an iPad. Ecstatic with excitement!

3:25 am

rubyfoo

I have to go and get dressed but hope to find you gals here later. Have 76 words but, hopefully, will find more later

3:25 am

sandyloo

what sort of cancer? (if you want to share) that means you are a true survivor

3:25 am

rubyfoo

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, I'm just dashing out to the chiropractor but will be back later.

sandyloo

ok bye for now rubles

3:25 am

sandyloo

alone again....naturally

3:26 am

rubyfoo

type 2A breast cancer, adeno carcinoma, radical mastectomy and elaborate tram-flap reconstruction, strong CAF chemo and 2 1/2 years of tamoxifen.

3:26 am

sandyloo

well done ruby, you ARE a true survivor

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm fine, but bones took a beating from the reconstruction....

3:27 am

rubyfoo

still here for a moment but had better get dressed or husband will get back and be angry!

3:27 am

sandyloo

I am lucky, nothing serious yet (knock on wood)

3:27 am

sandyloo

and nothing non serious either

3:27 am

rubyfoo

I consider myself very lucky! Cancer runs in my family: lost 2 aunts and 2 first cousins from it and my best friend in NY!

3:28 am

sandyloo

glad he is healing, has that dog been put down yet

3:28 am

sandyloo

I have friends who have survived it

3:28 am

rubyfoo

I never had anything, not flu, measles or even a cold until I got cancer at 47! Maybe that's why I survived!

3:28 am

rubyfoo

no, dog is still in jail and it is only the mayor who can make the decision to put it down.

3:29 am

sandyloo

I hope it never gets free, it is dangerous

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I think that breast cancer is survivable now, as long as you lose your vanity and really go for the strongest treatments. Survival rates improve every year (but, alas, so does the incidence!)

3:30 am

rubyfoo

bye again, sweetie!!

3:30 am

sandyloo

Who cares about vanity, one of my best friends has had a mastectomy but no reconstruction, the thing is she is still here 6 years later and we love her

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

bye both, have to dash now for 10am appointment. Will be back later, cos only have 47 words so far.

3:30 am

sandyloo

bye rubes

3:31 am

sandyloo

bye sal

3:34 am

Haz1558

I think it's a bit harsh to deny reconstructions for breast cancer patients by saying that it's vanity. Some people feel happy to do without, for others, it's a very important part of making them feel like themselves again.

3:34 am

Haz1558

And to my mind, a much better use of the skill of the surgeon than many of the real vanity operations carried out on women (and men).

3:38 am

sandyloo

Haz, she is thinking of getting a reconstruction now because it is long enough to feel that the cancer is gone, that was her worry

3:39 am

Haz1558

I hope it works out well for her.

3:39 am

sandyloo

She is such a lovely person and her husband loves her so much (so do we) she has been my friend since we were 5 years old

3:39 am

Haz1558

Hello all

4:06 am

sandyloo

hi lynxx

4:07 am

lynxxx

hi Sandy

4:19 am

Kallia

23 k words!

4:19 am

Kallia

morning all

4:20 am

lynxxx

hi Kalia, they say there is, not sure where

4:21 am

Kallia

lol...me neither

4:22 am

rubyfoo

hi back for a few, 76 words before

4:22 am

Kallia

hi Ruby

4:22 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

4:22 am

sandyloo

Ihave 89 left

4:23 am

Kallia

i have 63,,, was going along fine until I got to the k

4:24 am

sandyloo

i have 15 k s dont know where the others are

4:24 am

Kallia

I have 11...moving on now lol

4:25 am

rubyfoo

kaz misunderstood. The vanity part is having the surgery in the first place with a parade of interns etc. going in and out. I was very prudish before, but got over that. Reconstruction was a matter of being able to go back to work and look OK in my clothes.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

the reconstruction is certainly not a thing of beautify.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

losing all my hair during chemo was worse, for a while, than losing a breast! That made me cry because it all fell out in one day

4:26 am

sandyloo

here , medically they encourage reconstruction and medicare covers it

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I've known two women who died because they didn't have the breast removed in the first place!

4:27 am

sandyloo

I dont think it is vanity at all and up to the individual \

4:27 am

rubyfoo

THAT was vanity!

4:27 am

sandyloo

I would opt for life every time

4:27 am

rubyfoo

absolutely agree! My only suggestion, is to get a short haircut BEFORE chemo!

4:27 am

lynxxx

It is very odd our reaction to the hair loss. I had had very short hair for some 25 years and did not think it would phase me - it did!

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I stood in the shower and cried, not over the "lost" breast but seeing all those curls in the tub!

4:28 am

rubyfoo

Actually, I looked better in the scrarves than I did with hair!

4:29 am

sandyloo

having seen friends go through hair loss and breast loss , i think that they should not get upset over either as the people around them only want them to survive and dont pay any attention to those things

4:29 am

lynxxx

Strangely my husband and daughter both cannot remember my hair loss. I did wear scarves tied around my head. Perhaps we are the only ones who notice

4:29 am

sandyloo

it is a very personal thing to them tho

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I think my reconstruction was paid for by my insurance, but I really don't remember! Tamoxifen may save lives, but it causes short-term memory loss (they don't tell you that).

4:30 am

sandyloo

it is a hard road to travel that is for sure but wonderful when the journey is successful

4:30 am

rubyfoo

MY HAIR IS SO AWFUL NOW, THAT i AM TEMPTED TO WEAR SCARVES -- UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEIGHBORS MIGHT THINK i WAS MUSLIM! LOL

4:30 am

lynxxx

is that permanent Ruby?

4:31 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry for caps...sticky pinkie!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

it is just thin, greyish and curly. Not terrible but not pretty either

4:32 am

rubyfoo

and the scarves were lovely. I gave most of them away, tho, to a friend who had chemo and lost her hair. She survived, but didn't give the scarves back! Maybe she gave them to someone else in need....

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I even showed her how to tie them likve a Moroccan!

4:33 am

lynxxx

Hopefully! It is nice to think of them adorning bald heads isn't it

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I worked through the whole cancer thing, just missed the weeks I was in hospital and one day for each of the chemo sessions.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

Yes, for sure!

4:35 am

rubyfoo

Other recommendation from a medical oncologist in Boston: add Atavan to the drip, it prevents vomitting. It worked for me, but is rarely suggested

4:35 am

rubyfoo

doctors tend to think of the disease, not the person

4:36 am

sandyloo

My friend who has just come through with a 'clear; did not feel at all sick through chemo, it is much better than it used to be

4:36 am

sandyloo

she is wanting her hair to grow back

4:36 am

rubyfoo

she is very lucky. So many people get really sick from it. I just couldn't drink gin! hah

4:37 am

rubyfoo

in the end, I would rather have chemo than radiation, after all radiation can have longer-term side effects!

4:38 am

lynxxx

Many years ago I had a beautiful outfit, pants, top and wonderful winding cumberbund, made from the finest American lawn. I gave it to a close friend who was dying with melanoma and who couldn't bear anything 'rough' on her skin. She looked beautiful in it and although I missed it a lot, I felt very special to have been able to give it to her. She was only about 30 when she died

4:38 am

rubyfoo

I thing that having cancer really changes you whole life, and not just in bad ways. You appreciate every day more and also your friends!!!!!!

4:39 am

sandyloo

things are much advanced since you went through it all ruby my friend felt no ill affects from the chemo I am happy to say but happier to say she is clear for the moment

4:39 am

rubyfoo

that is a touching story lynxx; I know just what you mean!

4:39 am

sandyloo

lynxx that is soo sad, what a nice thing you did for her

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I imagine it changes all the time and more and more women are surviving!

4:40 am

rubyfoo

now lunch for husband who is back from Geneva with his new bridge!

4:40 am

rubyfoo

4:40 am

sandyloo

bye for now Ruby

4:40 am

lynxxx

a bridge for the pond? or for his teeth!

4:41 am

sandyloo

on a lighter note, I have been living in fear today, my nice rooster has turned into an evil rooster and attacked me today

4:42 am

sandyloo

I will have to take the lunging whip with me to feed the horses

4:42 am

sandyloo

testosterone is our enemy

4:43 am

rubyfoo

is he trying to become Sunday dinner? coq au vin? with good Australian wine.....

4:43 am

lynxxx

AYou and roosters! not a good combo. Try a new perfume

4:43 am

rubyfoo

amen, sister!

4:43 am

rubyfoo

*poo*

4:43 am

rubyfoo

*poof* hahah

4:45 am

sandyloo

I thought this rooster would be good forever , but obviously he has matured slowly, he is very beautiful and I dont want to kill him

4:46 am

sandyloo

now husband is away I would have to get my brother to do it, I hope the whip works

4:50 am

lynxxx

I just googled aggressive roosters. The first one suggests grabbing hold of him whenever he is aggressive and walk around with him while you do the chores. Do NOT put him down until he 'submits' and is quiet. 3 weeks should do the trick.

4:52 am

lynxxx

but there does appear to be a fair bit on the subject, some googling yourself might give you a few tricks

4:52 am

sandyloo

LOL hmmm if I can catch him Lynxx, i will try that, I really dont want to kill him

4:52 am

sandyloo

and I will google it

4:53 am

sandyloo

the trouble with the attacking thing is that while I may survive uninjured, a child may get injured, and we do have kids coming here

4:55 am

sandyloo

I can lock it up when kids come and i will definitely try that

4:55 am

lynxxx

How does it act with your dogs?

4:56 am

sandyloo

Ihavent noticed anything with the dogs and they would put it in its place if it attacked them - they tend to avoid aggressive poultry

4:58 am

lynxxx

The dogs don't walk around with you when you are in the yard?

4:58 am

sandyloo

I will be taking them with me tonight that is for sure, they will protect me but they do not kill the chooks even tho they are jack russels

4:59 am

sandyloo

they know what they would get if they killed any family members LOL

4:59 am

lynxxx

would do the rooster good if he got snarled and perhaps snapped at

5:00 am

sandyloo

I need to get personal leadership over the rooster tho, I have never succeeded with any aggressive rooster yet tho, it seems to be a testosterone issue

5:01 am

sandyloo

the rooster relates to the dogs and relates to me on a separate basis

5:01 am

lynxxx

it's an alpha thing

5:01 am

sandyloo

too funny, and I agree

5:04 am

sandyloo

roosters can be manipulated but not if you turn your back on them

5:04 am

lynxxx

I just thought if he sees you boss of the dogs then you might go up a bit higher in the 'pecking' order. Keeping the dogs close to you, even on leads for a bit. Anyway see what you can google

5:05 am

lynxxx

I can talk! I still remember being scared of the chooks 55 years ago!

5:05 am

sandyloo

I will Lynxx, I am not so scared of attacking roosters as I used to be, so I will give it my best

5:06 am

sandyloo

I am not scared of the chooks (used to be when I was a kid) even when they try to peck my toes - they love nail polish LOL

5:07 am

lynxxx

probably thinking 'what lovely fat red worms'!

5:08 am

sandyloo

seems they are attracted to bright colours , but Ihave to go and brave it now , its getting dark - wish me luck!! I will be giggling

5:08 am

sandyloo

be back soon

5:10 am

lynxxx

we hope!

5:28 am

sandyloo

back

5:28 am

lynxxx

no bleeding from the shins?

5:29 am

sandyloo

Ha! It was so late that the chooks were already roosting so no danger there ! Horses were very impatient

5:30 am

sandyloo

the roosters tend to fly into your back with spurred feet first so not a problem with shins

5:30 am

lynxxx

! so thats way you don't turn your back - sheesh

5:31 am

sandyloo

have 82 left so need to concentrate on the grid for a while, how are you going?

5:32 am

lynxxx

73 left, leaving for a bit to get some ri** on to go with whatever I can find in fridge BBS

8:03 am

NonoNanette

nope I think flosey has list in her profile

8:04 am

millsbooks

what do you have to do to use babble expert ?

8:04 am

Boobear

that's right, Annie

8:04 am

Anniebrook

thanks, Nono

8:04 am

sandyloo

so hard without it even with Floseys list

8:04 am

NonoNanette

sandy, Lickety's is so simple to use it makes the others much harder

8:04 am

Anniebrook

When Lickety has a list up, BE is great because the words go into the list in the right order

8:05 am

sandyloo

someone has to email it to you mills, I dont know quite how to do it

8:05 am

Boobear

millsbooks, just email Lickety and he will send you the link

8:05 am

NonoNanette

let me check to see if i saved link in my email

8:05 am

Anniebrook

I never finish without Lickety

8:05 am

sandyloo

it is certainly a lot easier with expert , but you dont have to look at the list if you dont want to, you just move the borders

8:06 am

sandyloo

I never could finish without a list for sure

8:07 am

NonoNanette

try this: http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com
/BabbleExpert12_FireworksForever.zip

8:08 am

NonoNanette

save it to your desktop millsbrook

8:10 am

NonoNanette

I have finished a few times without a list but generally have to use it

8:14 am

sandyloo

I think I did it once over the years I always try without it at first tho

8:15 am

Anniebrook

I try to see how far I can get w/o the list but then I almost always need the list to finish

8:17 am

NonoNanette

just now starting to use flosey's list with 53 left

8:17 am

sandyloo

Basically, I always need the list to finish

8:18 am

sandyloo

We always talk about the large grids that we have had but I remember a grid that was 36 words

8:18 am

NonoNanette

yes and if i recall correctly it was a real stinker too

8:22 am

Anniebrook

I opened flosey's list, made it fit into my chatlog but as soon as I enter a word, flosey's list disappears..any hints as to what I am doing wrong?

8:23 am

NonoNanette

has it gone underneath the babble window annie?

8:23 am

sandyloo

I printed out the list

8:24 am

NonoNanette

i paste it into notepad and size it to fit next to babble

8:24 am

Boobear

hmm I can't get babble expert to open.

8:24 am

Anniebrook

yes, it is under the babble window

8:25 am

Anniebrook

sandy, need to buy ink, printer is out just when I need it, of course

8:26 am

Anniebrook

nono, dont know what a notepad is and I cant copy and paste, one day I will learn, I am so computer DUMB

8:26 am

sandyloo

I think it disappears because you have two windows open when you press on babble the other window goes under

8:27 am

sandyloo

so am I annie that is why i cant tell boo what is wrong

8:28 am

NonoNanette

Annie do you know how to highlight certain text?

8:28 am

Vyv

resize your babble window so there is a gap beside it then put floseys list in the gap

8:28 am

NonoNanette

that will work By

8:28 am

NonoNanette

*Vy sorry

8:29 am

Anniebrook

8:31 am

Anniebrook

8:42 am

Anniebrook

ruby, if he is ever in Brooklyn......

8:42 am

rubyfoo

8:42 am

Haz1558

You'd be able to give him a tutorial, Annie.

8:43 am

Anniebrook

ruby, I got ruby's son the job throught my recommendation

8:43 am

rubyfoo

actually, I think Annie is a distant relative....lol

8:44 am

Anniebrook

I donated the egg ( ooh, was not supposed to tell)

8:44 am

rubyfoo

if anybody goes to Austin, they can hear him play guitar with a blues man named (really!) Orange Jefferson!

8:44 am

Riverdance

8:44 am

Anniebrook

hi river, looks that way, doesnt it...I better stop

8:44 am

Riverdance

8:45 am

rubyfoo

DH has a different nurse this week and wants to fire her and do the bandage himself!!!!

8:45 am

rubyfoo

I am not going to do the bandage! NO NO NO

8:45 am

sandyloo

LOL ruby, the nurse needs to keep an eye on his wounds

8:45 am

Riverdance

oh no - maybe thats why he is crankier than usual - routine is off

8:45 am

rubyfoo

this one is very brusque, not like the little sweetie who has been coming up 'til now

8:46 am

Anniebrook

ruby, and he was doing so well with the wound...can you get a different nurse..one he will like

8:46 am

sandyloo

you could request that

8:46 am

rubyfoo

there appears to be only one per village and "Sylvie" is on holiday this week

8:47 am

rubyfoo

the wound looks wonderful through Sylvie's ministrations

8:47 am

Anniebrook

Does he know that Sylvie is coming back next week? That might calm him down

8:47 am

rubyfoo

if he insists, I'll call his MD

8:47 am

Anniebrook

yes, I would do that, ruby

8:47 am

rubyfoo

it is only for two more visits 'til the other one comes back!

8:48 am

rubyfoo

I am getting greyer by the minute!!!

8:48 am

Anniebrook

call the MD, ruby

8:48 am

rubyfoo

I don't want to change the dressing; he says "Ouch" when I cut his hair!

8:48 am

sandyloo

get the dog out of the pound and keep it outside the window

8:49 am

rubyfoo

hahah, sandy

8:50 am

sandyloo

or make a mask of the dogs face and wear it

8:50 am

rubyfoo

he thinks the hawk came in the house because of the bird feeder out front, that this kind of hawk will pick off birds directly from the feeder. Now what am I supposed to do about that?

8:50 am

sandyloo

tie the dog up under the bird feeder

8:50 am

rubyfoo

my fault, of course

8:52 am

rubyfoo

the dogs barely noticed the hawk in the house, great watchdogs, as usual

8:52 am

rubyfoo

the mask is a good idea!

8:53 am

rubyfoo

my life is turning into a circus! and I'm the tightrope walker

8:54 am

sandyloo

just take a breath and smile inwardly and outwardly and you will be fine

8:55 am

rubyfoo

actually, I'm chuckling to myself as this is turning ridiculous!

8:55 am

sandyloo

there you go its working already

8:56 am

rubyfoo

time for his martini! and nuts! hahah

8:57 am

sandyloo

8:57 am

rubyfoo

I'm better off without; I'll wait and have one while I'm cooking, that way I won't get into an argument!

8:58 am

sandyloo

This is priceless ruby, and entertaining from here which is so far away

8:58 am

rubyfoo

when are you headed south, sandy?

8:58 am

rubyfoo

I refuse to be pessimistic! life's too short and we see people with so many real problems

8:59 am

sandyloo

joey had rachel read "the shining" and she had him read "little women" and when he gave something away, which started the giving-things-away-war, rachel ended up by saying "beth dies".

Hello, Crossy :-)

10:36 am

Haz1558

I know, but the scriptwriters were taking liberties.

Haz1558

I know, but the scriptwriters were taking liberties.

10:36 am

gremlinn

hi flosey

10:36 am

hurshy

my copy, for instance, has them both in one, and it doesn't say "Little Women and Good Wives" on the cover, just Little Women.

10:37 am

hurshy

Little Women (or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy) is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832â€“1888). The book was written and set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts. It was published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The novel follows the lives of four sistersâ€”Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy Marchâ€”and is loosely based on the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The first volume was an immediate commercial and critical success, prompting the composition of the book's second volume titled Good Wives, which was successful as well. The publication of the book in the form of a single volume first occurred in 1880.

10:37 am

Haz1558

That makes sense. I wonder if it's an American thing, we always had the two separately.

10:38 am

Haz, back to Bewitched, Samantha's husband is in the grid today.

10:42 am

Haz1558

Hello, NANCY - long time! Yes, it must be the explanation. I don't know whether I'll be able to persuade her to follow up with Good Wives on the basis that it's really part of Little Women which is on the list.

10:43 am

Haz1558

on7 - more stubborn, cantankerous.

10:43 am

Haz1558

Haz, yes, I was very impressed with the book at age nine and was very emotional about it all. It has always been a favorite of mine. BTW, I do read all of the chog most of the time but lurk due to time constraints.

10:46 am

Haz1558

I know, once you start to chat, time just goes, doesn't it?

10:51 am

OH, you will really love it. One of those books you want to keep reading but yet don't want to rush as it will be over too soon.

10:51 am

Haz1558

11:47 am

EvaNadine

he was on the bus, just didnt get off.

12:22 pm

m9f9l

last I "spoke" with you, you were using the language 'barrier' to avoid questions..how's that going?

12:23 pm

Christine

A shelf on a treadmill, for a laptop, and multitask. If I can find space in my untidy bedroom, that's what I want to do.

12:23 pm

Good Enough

great ideas!

12:24 pm

Nancy Boy

couldn't last, M9 :) I had to tell in the end

12:24 pm

m9f9l

12:25 pm

Christine

m9f91 - the only change I made was to eliminate the sweet things - I'm all-or-nothing (inhale a box of donuts or cookies), so I just don't buy 'em ... and no longer miss them.

12:26 pm

m9f9l

well, if you put a little omega (flax oil) in there... you'll probably see some more loss... in the middle area

12:26 pm

Christine

NB, Grandparents still love you, right?

12:26 pm

m9f9l

has your dad blown a gasket?

12:27 pm

m9f9l

I am frustrated with that right n... every time I think i have it.. it comes from the other one!

12:28 pm

Nancy Boy

I can't talk about it right now. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come into the chat! :/ I was stupid and built it up too much.

hi red

12:33 pm

Christine

NB - you're not stupid, Hun. Remember, love comes in different shapes, and from different directions (you know how much we love you, right ?), and sometimes you have to give people time to process/accept changes and different lifestyles are very difficult for them to accept. Chin up, laddie, keep a stiff upper lip (try not to trip while in this undignified position). God bless.

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

Not a pork fan myself, though I do enjoy bacon.

7:18 pm

i don't think carrots do well with pork roast

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

carrots do well with beef.

7:19 pm

dcseain

hm. cnabbage then :)

7:19 pm

crosshair

i do prefer beef roasts over pork,but beef costs heaven and earth here

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

cabbage is a super veg, the purple kind?

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

no no cabbage either -- onions and potatoes -- celery if you insist

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

jmc there has to be a veg that is semi healthy in there, Onion and potatos are not really veg.

7:20 pm

dcseain

but what's pork w/out cabbage? those went hand-in-hand growing up, esp in the form of sauerkraut

7:20 pm

George, I have also been up in the early hours of the morning due to not being able to sleep. Hate insomnia

One morning I was up til 4:00 am

Thank God for Babble to pass the time (evening) away

I have heard that the scent of Jasmine is supposed to help, has anyone tried it?

8:02 pm

Minveryork

If anybody was here at 2:00 this morning, I was here!

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

lavender is the herb for sleep

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

I keep erratic hours because of travel

8:03 pm

pythonx

Lavender is for relaxing and Jasmine is for sleep is what I read. I spray my pillow with lavender, but I don't have any jasmine

8:03 pm

Minveryork

I am not sure if it is insomnia, or I am subconsciously thinking about Babbleland in my sleep so I wake up so I can see how big the puzzle is; or maybe it is both.

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

never heard that about jasmine -- chamomile tea is good for sleep but dangerous for asthmatics

8:04 pm

pythonx

I also read that staring at a computer screen keeps you awake. something about the type of light it emits??

8:04 pm

pythonx

I have chamomile tea, I'll have to try that next time

8:05 pm

i can't find anything that supports the theory that jasmine is for sleep -- maybe because they gather the flowers at night is where that idea came from

8:08 pm

I read it in the local paper the other day jmc

My alternative health doctor suggested the last thing you eat be a protein to help with sleep. I have a piece of string cheese.

I didn't da4/5 to try to finish grid or I would be up all night. I got to 156 words with help from ki4/9 babblers.I was busy today with several er6/21s. I went to the store and bought three CD's,Mark Kn**fler Dire Strait CD,a Ne 6/18 CD and Lady Gaga's Po5/20 Face CD. Then I bought mi4/6 traps for unwanted visitors.After that I went to grocery store and bought some ol 4/4, one white on5/10 and two green on6/18, and ri4/5 Pilaf. Then I bought some pa5/12 for my hubby who's going to be a pa7/32 and pa 5/12 our bedroom. After that, I bought a pa4/5 of shoes for the beginning of school year. Then I went to Pa 4/5 University to pick up an application.Then I got my car windows ti4/4ed. Then I bought a tr5/18 for my niece.My shopping bags put my hubby into a ra 4/4 and he po 5/12 out to me in a nasty to 4/4 that I spent too much money today. He te 4/5s to get irritated whenever I go on a shopping spree. My hubby and I have to4/4 of arguments over Babble or money.After our little spat, I made sl 4/5py Joes for dinner.Now I'm do 4/5 with my story. I hope you've taken no4/5 of my clues and were able to find some ma 4/5 words. Da4/5! Hubby, whose name is Mi 4/9, wants computer.I'll sure4/5er computer to him. In the in7/32,I'm going to go do 4/5 on my dog whom I have been ignoring.Not sure if I'll be back because I am very ti4/4d. So Goodbye for now. See you later on
