mr9f91 - I took your suggestion to read Bellwether - good book. I was ready to put it back when I saw the blurb about winning a sci-fi award (for another book ?), but I'm glad I went ahead with it. Thanks for the heads-up.

On the front of the book it says she's one of science fiction's best writers, and I'm not (much) into sf.
12:24 am
m9f9l
see?? that's why a lot of folk don't read it.. but it's not really sci-fi the way most people think of it.
12:25 am
Christine
I think I'd like to read more on these characters.

3:23 am
sprite
lol yes, chat is awfully quiet. I am down to 2 words.
3:24 am
Sally-catlover
So it was a false alarm? That's really good news. Just wondering why grid won't accept strim. Must be an English usage. I've only just started, so have only found 15 so far!

*grin* yes but no problem, I usually do worst wi4 the mediums.
3:32 am
FMitch
Glad it's not just me I sometimes stumble on the easys and then zoom through the hard but today I am just not seeing the numbers.
3:33 am
FMitch
Sally, you have been a busy lady recently, how are things in your neck of the woods?
3:34 am
sprite
for some reason I always get stuck on mediums... they are harder than the hards. Maybe wrong expectations?
3:34 am
rubyfoo
ty for the wi4, fish slap for me?

Not this early on a Sunday morning ruby :)

3:35 am
Sally-catlover
Not bad FM, except I had a disturbed night cos T is running a temperature and was just violently shaking the bed in the night. So up at 3 being soothing and making hot water bottles. Sadly I still have to get up early to see to various livestock!
3:35 am
FMitch
of of course you two are an hour ahead of me.
3:36 am
sprite
ouch Sally, that is a truly broken night
3:36 am
rubyfoo
why did he have a fever, Sally?
3:36 am
Sally-catlover
Yes it always throws me when ruby goes off to get a pre-lunch drink and I am still on mid-morning coffee.
3:36 am
Sally-catlover
No idea ruby.
3:36 am
FMitch
Oh sorry to hear that Sally and as you say the chooks etc still expect food at the regular time.
3:37 am
Sally-catlover
And the cats, and the wild birds, FM. Then there's my breakfast ...
3:37 am
rubyfoo
is it cold at night there Sally? Sprite? FM?
3:37 am
rubyfoo
we probably all 4 have similar weather
3:38 am
Sally-catlover
No it was very warm last night ruby, we have had a sudden spell of nice weather.
3:38 am
FMitch
Tell me about the wild birds!!! I get a row of sparrows sitting and tutting at me if I don't get the feed out on time :)
3:38 am
rubyfoo
did I tell you about the bat in the bedroom the other night?
3:39 am
FMitch
Where I am is getting down to about 8 overnight now.
3:39 am
rubyfoo
It seemed much bigger than the ones I usually see in the garden
3:39 am
sprite
we have a single, lovely day here. My love just left with Terra for a canoe trip, enjoying the last good day, probably :)
3:39 am
Sally-catlover
Yesterday I heard a very loud tapping and went through to the breakfast room, thinking it must be a woodpecker at least. We have a little veronica outside that window, and there were three fledgling tiny blue tits in it, and on the windowsill tapping it for insects. They were about 2 feet away from me. Lovely!
3:39 am
rubyfoo
is Terra a good swimmer?
3:39 am
sprite
it was a vampire bat, rubyfoo!
3:40 am
FMitch
and this was the husband who wasn't sure about getting a dog! So funny and that great pic you have sprite of him and Terra fast asleep on the sofa back when he was a puppy :))
3:40 am
sprite
he can swim, but doesn't go into the water voluntarily. Just walks in up to his tummy.
3:40 am
rubyfoo
nah! I love bats. Usually we have many little black ones circling the garden at dusk. They look like black butterflies. But this was a brown one and stayed for about a ten-minute visit while husband cowered under the pillow
3:40 am
FMitch
How lovely to see Sally!
3:41 am
sprite
I will have new pics soon, FM! They are sooo cute togethery, my love and Terra.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
there is a cave on the cliff above us where the black ones live
3:41 am
Sally-catlover
lol ruby
3:41 am
sprite
aw that is so cute, Sally
3:41 am
Sally-catlover
Are they pipistrelles do you know ruby?
3:42 am
rubyfoo
they never hold still long enough to do a good identification, but I think so
3:42 am
sprite
lolllll poor husband. If ever he gets nasty again, rubyfoo, just tell him if he doesn't behave, you call your bat friend.
3:42 am
rubyfoo
I think that's why we don't have mosquitos
3:42 am
FMitch
on the bat phone :)
3:42 am
rubyfoo
in the bat cave!
3:43 am
Sally-catlover
Oh yes, it would be. "Our" swallows take care of a lot of insects for us.
3:43 am
sprite
can I borrow some swallows and bats then?
3:44 am
rubyfoo
our little birds are so lazy from husband feeding them, that I don't think they eat any insects
3:44 am
FMitch
*shows age here* I had a Batman themed 5th birthday party.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
we don't have swallows
3:44 am
rubyfoo
I'm older, FM, saw Batman "serials" as shorts with movies when I was a kid -- pre-TV!
3:45 am
sprite
that is cute, FM! And I enjoyed the 'new' Batman movie very much, so I'd say Batman is of all ages!
3:46 am
FMitch
Bows to rubys longevity but I will be 1 year older soon :(
3:46 am
rubyfoo
husband wll be 85 ((!!!)) on the 30th; so will his nurse
3:46 am
rubyfoo
not 85, same birthday!
3:47 am
Sally-catlover
Is this why you have lots of visitors coming, for his birthday?
3:47 am
FMitch
Oh last summer before I moved I remember being utterly flabbergasted by seeing the batmobile driving up Ascot High Street (on its way to a charity event).
3:47 am
sprite
wowww rubyfoo, that is impressive.
3:47 am
rubyfoo
no, just a coincidence. People visit after the "season" is over.
3:48 am
rubyfoo
that is a ho**, FM
3:48 am
Sally-catlover
lol FM. When my son was about 14 I took him on holiday to Kos on his own (husband was occupied with something) and we hired an open-topped pink car, wider at the back than the front, which I called my Lady Penelope car. (Now who's showing her age?!)
3:48 am
FMitch
sheesh didn't have that one, thanks ruby.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
another guppy, pls?
3:49 am
FMitch
LOL and Parker the chauffeur.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
Lady Penelope?
3:50 am
FMitch
*Thunderbirds* a puppet series way back when.
3:50 am
Sally-catlover
That's the one FM. Son thought it was great.
3:50 am
herinfernallady
Hello
3:50 am
rubyfoo
I guess English, rather than American. And we had no TV until 1953
3:50 am
sprite
rubyfoo, check out my profile, see Sep 30 :)
3:50 am
Sally-catlover
Not easy driving on narrow Greek roads whe back of car is wider than front.
3:50 am
sprite
hi lady *hug*
3:51 am
rubyfoo
good morning Lady Herin!
3:51 am
sprite
I know the Thunderbirds... are.... gooooo!
3:51 am
FMitch
now I really am going to go and get that 2nd mug of tea BRB.
3:52 am
Sally-catlover
rofl sprite. What pictures should we all choose for icons that day?
3:52 am
herinfernallady
Hi hugs back. Ruby about that dog with your husband. The pet store here are selling Dutch x German shepherd working blood line for pets. My friend is desperately trying to get them surrended into her care
3:52 am
rubyfoo
that is so sweet, Sprite, I am touched!!
3:52 am
herinfernallady
Waves hello
3:52 am
rubyfoo
maybe dogs theme, then I won't have to change poor old Max......
3:52 am
sprite
well that depends, I think. He has had a bad bad scare and blessure wi4 the dog, so some sympathy is expected. But we also know how bad he can be to rubyfoo. So some fun is expected too ;)
3:53 am
Sally-catlover
:-)
3:53 am
Sally-catlover
Batman perhaps
3:53 am
rubyfoo
he doesn't understand how much pleasure and support I get from Babble! I wish he had something comparable in his life
3:53 am
sprite
Batman sounds good :D
3:54 am
sprite
good for her, lady. I hope she gets them. Those pet stores, argh.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
puppy mills. aaargh!
3:55 am
sprite
it is hard to understand for people who don't have something similar, I think. And he isn't really young enough to change his mind... not because he is almost 85, but because of his set ways.
3:56 am
herinfernallady
These are actual owners that did this not a farm. Which she is terrified that these are working line dogs that are sold as pets
3:56 am
rubyfoo
yes, you are right, sprite. It amazes me that he learned how to use a computer at all after he retired.
3:56 am
sprite
so much depends on their socialisation, lady.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
At least if people get them young enough, maybe they can be tamed and trained.
3:57 am
sprite
yes that is great, ruby :)
3:57 am
rubyfoo
but "Magik", the bad beauceron, ws adopted when he was around 7 or 8; who knows what his early life was like?
3:57 am
sprite
my grandfather did the same (he was very keen on learning new stuff). He learned to use Word and email program and enjoyed it very much.
3:58 am
rubyfoo
after all, he is a magnificent dog but he must have had a shady past to have been abandoned
3:58 am
herinfernallady
Sprite yes but these are guard dogs and they need all the attention and drive they can
3:58 am
rubyfoo
he's home now, but can only be walked at certain hours, must be locked up in a kennel at home, must have a muzzle and a short leash -- but who is going to enforce all of that? We have 3 police for this whole village!
3:59 am
sprite
rubyfoo, there is no knowing what the poor dog has been through. But after what has happened to your husband, the animal must either be put down, or (not likely where you live) been tested and rehabilitated at an animal care center.
3:59 am
rubyfoo
(talking about the beauceron, not husband -- hahah)
3:59 am
rubyfoo
the owner is "required" to take classes with him, but I think an 8 or 9 yr old dog is too old to be trained.
4:00 am
Sally-catlover
Is there a caveat, though ruby? Dog must be muzzled etc but IF this doesn't happen, then he can be taken back into care?
4:00 am
sprite
they are never too old to be trained, but not every bad thing can be trained away.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
I think so and husband is bravely walking his regular route, past their house!!! Talk about stubborn; he must be part chow chow
4:01 am
FMitch
just the same as husbands eh sprite?
4:01 am
rubyfoo
at least DH doesn't bite!
4:01 am
sprite
lollllllll
4:01 am
sprite
hm mine does, sometimes... should I muzzle him? Or just nuzzle back?
4:02 am
FMitch
nuzzle beats muzzle every time :)
4:03 am
rubyfoo
lol, sprite!
4:03 am
sprite
hehehe I think so too. He is the best in the whole world. Some bad habits included... I always say they give me permission to have some of my own.
4:03 am
herinfernallady
FM have you seen the new Shirlock Holmes?
4:04 am
FMitch
Yes I have Herin, thought it was very interesting how they had brought it into the current day.
4:05 am
rubyfoo
for nbt, pls, bottom o
4:05 am
Sally-catlover
I think you are talking about the TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch FM?
4:05 am
herinfernallady
I like it.
4:05 am
Sally-catlover
Noises an owl makes minus first letter ruby
4:05 am
herinfernallady
Yes Sally
4:05 am
rubyfoo
isn't that with Robert Downey Jr.?
4:06 am
FMitch
Talking of TV, there was the most compelling and powerful documentary on TV last night about 9/11 purely made up from peoples phones/cameras as the events unfolded.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
oh, silly me.....
4:06 am
FMitch
I am Sally is there a film out too? Shows how out of touch I am.
4:06 am
herinfernallady
Ruby this is the BBC
4:06 am
herinfernallady
What was that called?
4:06 am
rubyfoo
we get occasional BBC series, but mostly just BBC news
4:07 am
Sally-catlover
No, the Robert Downey Jr one is a film. We belong to a film hire club called LoveFilm, and recently requested the film but got an absolutely dire version by mistake. Saw a lot of complaints from people who had made same mistake. There is a film with Jude Law as Watson and Robert Downey as Holmes, but I reluctant to rent it now.
4:07 am
herinfernallady
We downloaded it off the net
4:07 am
rubyfoo
it got good reviews, but won't be here for a long time, I imagine
4:08 am
rubyfoo
that's the one! Did you know that Jude Law makes French perfume commercials -- such a pretty boy
4:08 am
Sally-catlover
Thought the TV version called Sherlock was brilliant. We don't have TV, but watched it on iPlayer.
4:09 am
FMitch
i-player is great for catching up on missed progs but I was looking for Martin Clunes 2nd part of the horse series yesterday and couldn't find it.
4:09 am
herinfernallady
FM what was that called last night?
4:09 am
rubyfoo
I wonder if it will be on Fr TV?
4:09 am
FMitch
102 Minutes That Changed America herin.
4:10 am
herinfernallady
Thanks. Have you seen: Eleven Minutes, Nine Seconds, One Image: September 11
4:10 am
rubyfoo
I'm writing it down although haven't been able to go back to Manhattan since 9/11.....
4:10 am
rubyfoo
it still breaks my heart!
4:11 am
FMitch
The thing that made it even more poignient (if that is possible) is that I had read an artile in the paper this week about how many people are ill/dying that survived the attact because of all the toxins etc that were part of the dust.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
that is a horrifying part of it, and not much spoken about these days. They'd rather talk about the silly mosque controversy
4:12 am
FMitch
no I haven't herin
4:12 am
sprite
same was here with the Bijlmer disaster. The El Al aeroplane that hit a flat.
4:12 am
herinfernallady
It is an amazing doco. They show different countries that react as it happens. They have the footage of the ''falling man''
4:13 am
herinfernallady
And a beautiful story by Sean Penn
4:13 am
rubyfoo
we didn't even know about it as it was unfolding. French friends all called to tell us to turn on the TV!
4:13 am
FMitch
It was a Kennedy moment for another generation - you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news.
4:13 am
FMitch
I was in Paris at the time ruby.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
yes, it's true. Do Europeans have "kennedy moments" too?
4:14 am
Sally-catlover
Yes FM. We heard it on the radio in the car, just caught the end of something and thought it was a play or something at first (like they did War of the Worlds originally).
4:14 am
herinfernallady
I was in bed and woke up to it on the tv. THat was the day I broke the internet for the month as I had friends in the NY Fire dep
4:14 am
rubyfoo
aaah! My son was a month old and I was nursing him, alone in the apartment, and with no TV!
4:14 am
FMitch
9/11 made us a global Kennedy moment.
4:14 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, I have a Kennedy moment ruby!
4:14 am
sprite
9/11 didn't just change America
4:15 am
rubyfoo
you are making me cry! One of our visitors is flying on 9/11 this year!
4:15 am
Sally-catlover
Must just go and check on patient. Back in a moment.
4:15 am
herinfernallady
My first thought was ''is this a new movie / theory'' followed by ''holly shit they have actually done it''
4:15 am
rubyfoo
how about taking him a hot toddy?
4:15 am
rubyfoo
brings the fever right down!
4:16 am
sprite
my first thought was: oh my god this is how wars start.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
when one friend called to say the pentagon had been hit, I didn't believe her
4:16 am
FMitch
sorry to bring everyone down but it was a very powerful documentary.
4:17 am
sprite
*hugs FM*
It is part of reality. I think it is very good you bring it up. We are not just a community for good news, right?
4:17 am
herinfernallady
I had just finished reading a book called the Rhythm method that was pure fiction and it was so life like
4:17 am
Sally-catlover
Back, with fresh mug of coffee.
4:18 am
sprite
*looks envious at Sally's coffee*
4:18 am
Sally-catlover
lol herin, that's a method of contraception in English. Assume it wasn't about that.
4:18 am
sprite
what is it about, lady?
4:18 am
Sally-catlover
Still some coffee in my pot, sprite. Milk? Sugar?
4:19 am
FMitch
LOL I was just wondering how to reply to herins post!
4:19 am
rubyfoo
it is very good to talk about it! My sister sent me every article from the NYT afterwards and I was able to read EVERY little biography. I used to do a lot of work with the Port Authority in the World Trade Center and was hapy to learn that none of my colleagues had been killed.
4:19 am
herinfernallady
The book was about a lady in a counter terrorist cell.
4:19 am
sprite

A comment borne out of personal experience ruby?
4:20 am
FMitch

4:20 am
herinfernallady
It was a fiction novel. It was very good
4:20 am
rubyfoo
I'll never tell!
4:20 am
Sally-catlover
I see that Ata's cat is in the grid.
4:20 am
rubyfoo
so is "the method" lol
4:21 am
rubyfoo
where is ata these days?
4:21 am
sprite
my father used to say the best anticonception method was an aspirine between your knees. I won't go into details, but it isn't.
4:21 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, I've heard that one too sprite.
4:22 am
sprite
Ata is very busy with artwork. Celtic knotting, very complicated. Cannot chat and concentrate on it at the same time.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
where there's a will......
4:22 am
rubyfoo
tell her "hello" from me, if you see her
4:22 am

new wooden shoes, is another dutch one. Because of the fact they are tied together in pairs.
4:22 am

Ata is really busy working on some projects ..... and prepare yourselves ..........
4:23 am
Sally-catlover
Is she OK though FM? Had read back in the chog about some evil person's malicious email.
4:23 am
FMitch
Haz will be away for a week.
4:23 am
FMitch
She is fine Sally.
4:23 am
herinfernallady

4:23 am
Sally-catlover
Away on holiday? Work? Staying with FM? Visiting ruby or Sally?
4:23 am
sprite
She is perfectly ok, Sally. The vicious email has done no harm at all. Just very unpleasant.
4:24 am
sprite
thanks lady!
4:24 am
sprite
hm ok, so no Ata because of hard work. I can accept that, if I have to. But what is Haz's excuse?
4:24 am
herinfernallady
It was a very good read
4:24 am
rubyfoo
the whole idea of that was horrible! sandy told me about it, really a shocking idea that some crazy person could go through all the old chogs, looking for bad stuff
4:24 am
FMitch
Haz and MrHaz are going on holiday
4:25 am
Sally-catlover
What together! Shock! Horror! What is the world coming to?
4:25 am
sprite
only someone really vicious and obsessed will do things like that, rubyfoo. It is pretty pathetic, to be honest.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
I'd be in deep doo if somebody did that except my husband would never see it anyway....hahah
4:25 am
sprite
FM, tell her no way. That is NO excuse for leaving us.
4:25 am
FMitch
so we will be bereft of some excellent and inspired clues for a while.
4:26 am
sprite
lol rubyfoo!
4:26 am
Sally-catlover
Yes that did occur to me at the time I read about it ruby.
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I think it's time for husband's apero! see you all later.
4:26 am
Sally-catlover
Can't she babble on holiday? Where are her priorities?

oh re Campari - who remembers the Luton Airport Ads. I guess this will only apply to the UK babblers of a certain vintage.
4:30 am
Sally-catlover
Yes!! Can't remember name of actress, but we met her.
4:30 am
sprite
sorry no, doesn't ring a bell :(
4:31 am
Sally-catlover
Nah, Luton Airport.
4:31 am

Thingy Collins took over the role but the original one was her with the long hair :)
4:31 am
FMitch
Loraine something?
4:31 am
Sally-catlover
Went something like, Did you waft in from Paradise? Nah, Luton Airport.
4:31 am

Hi Zoo

Sally-catlover
Yes, Lorraine Chase. Well remembered zoozoom.
4:33 am
FMitch
We have just managed to bamboozle the rest of babble but it was worth it for that little memory.
4:33 am
herinfernallady
i just googled it
4:34 am
Sally-catlover
Well it is our turn. There are so many US and Oz clues that draw a total blank this side of the water!
4:34 am

bamboozling is good. Part of babble, to make our minds more elastic :)
4:34 am

*elastic brains, ewww*
4:35 am
zoozzoom
OMG..just heard about the earth quakes in new zealand..i must of been out of the loop to miss that.
4:35 am
FMitch
will have to sit very still now incase they spill out.
4:35 am
Sally-catlover
All right when it's young and fresh, FM, not when it's tired and grey and a bit droopy :-)
4:35 am
sprite
just tell them not to leave your ears, FM
4:36 am
FMitch
They have had aftershocks zooz and just to add to the whole thing are aparently going to get very high winds. :(
4:36 am
sprite
you had more pressing things on your mind, zooz, like coming back to the living. Priorities! You have to come first, or you won't be any good to anyone.
4:37 am
sprite
it is so awful. I heard Kiwi is ok, she is on the other side.
4:37 am
FMitch
Good news sprite.
4:37 am
zoozzoom
I knew they had alot of earth quakes there, but this one is rather large.
4:37 am
herinfernallady
it has flooded in parts here
4:38 am
FMitch
so you are getting a knock on effect from it herin?
4:39 am
herinfernallady
Just need to be mindful that the water tastes erk and the toilet may be subject to a high tide
4:40 am
FMitch
All the best!
4:40 am
sprite
I hope it won't get any worse then, lady
4:40 am
herinfernallady
It is all good some parts had 180 mil in 12 hours
4:40 am
FMitch
keep the kities away from drinking in the loos :)
4:40 am
zoozzoom
wow thats alot.
4:42 am
herinfernallady
It is and the loo lid is down due to someone liking water
4:43 am
herinfernallady
We are lucky that it didn't flood. had that happen in the past and lost nearly everything I owned in the shed
4:45 am
FMitch
Back in a mo or two.
4:46 am
herinfernallady
off for tea
4:58 am
sprite
still wrestling with the sudoku
4:59 am
FMitch
Finished the grid so will now head back to the dreaded numbers grid :(
4:59 am
Sally-catlover
Don't enjoy sudoku, sprite. Just don't see the point.
4:59 am
FMitch
It is good for the brain but can make you kick your puter.
5:00 am
sprite
oh I love sudoku. Makes me think purely logical, which is good for an emotional person like me.
5:01 am
Sally-catlover
Do you play on facebook?
5:01 am
sprite
no, I try to stay away from FB. Too many small games there to eat my ti4.
5:02 am
FMitch
I do Dr_Gs sudoku plus the ones in the daily papers.
5:02 am
FMitch
I don't FB at all
5:02 am
Sally-catlover
I'd forgotten that Dr_G had a sudoku link.
5:03 am
sprite
I have a sudoku booklet on my bedside table. I play before going to sleep, helps me put my mind in another pattern.
5:04 am
Sally-catlover
I think that would keep me awake, sprite. The letters and numbers would be going round in my head.
5:04 am
FMitch
good grief sprite - I thought I eas bad enough at dreaming yellow squared grid but to do sudoku before bed would keep me up at night.
5:05 am
sprite
I tend to think too much about all kinds of things... you know, when your head is too busy to sleep? And playing sudoku changes that. I usually get sleepy halfway my second puzzle.
5:05 am
FMitch
Want to know how I get to sleep if I am having problems dropping off?
5:05 am
sprite
yes please tell!
5:06 am
FMitch
Instead of counting sheep I remember babblers names - start from A and work forward.
5:06 am
sprite
oh! That is brilliant, LOL!
5:07 am
zoozzoom
So you are asleep before you get to mine then...LOL
5:07 am

Sad I know but it has sent me off to sweet dreams many times.
5:07 am

aw poor zooz, you are last... she is asleep then for sure.
5:07 am
Sally-catlover
Poor zoozoom, always gets left out I expect.
5:07 am
sprite
snap, Sally :D
5:07 am
FMitch
LOL yes, never make it to Z a bad night is when I am on the m's.
5:08 am
FMitch
Try to think of 5 names per letter of the alphabet and then go from there.
5:08 am
sprite
promise you will start at Z and go backwards tonight
5:09 am
FMitch
Never thought of doing the alpabet backwards, interesting :)
5:09 am
zoozzoom
are any of the two `U` words start with `un?
5:10 am
FMitch
Ata is of course first on my list then Aloy and Annie
5:10 am

nm, got one
5:10 am

darn sorry, 2
5:10 am
Sally-catlover
Some years ago when I had an MRI, I had to keep absolutely still for about 20-30 minutes. Of course, as soon as someone says that you want to scratch your nose! And I went through every nursery rhyme I knew, then the alphabet backwards.
5:11 am
Sally-catlover
(To concentrate to keep my mind off moving)
5:11 am
zoozzoom
that must be hard to do Sally
5:11 am
FMitch
why is it always the nose?
5:11 am
sprite
awful, isn't it Sally! I had one too once and I itched everywhere. I did the alphabeth backwards, 3 down, 2 up.
5:12 am
Sally-catlover
I couldn't stand up afterwards sprite, and had to be helped.
5:12 am
FMitch
the nose never itches in anyother set up!
5:12 am
sprite
it was before my ptsd was diagnosed. I kept up appearances until I was home, then collapsed for over a week.
5:13 am
zoozzoom
mine used to itch when i used to get my hair cut..lol
5:13 am
Sally-catlover
The keeping immobile was much worse than the claustrophobia they warmed me about.
5:13 am
Sally-catlover
ptsd?
5:13 am
FMitch
ah well that is a man thing I think?
5:13 am

Hello, Lynxxx
5:14 am
Sally-catlover
Ah, mine was to confirm a diagnosis of spinal stenosis. Hence early medical retirement and a golden handshake. Terrible choice to make ;-)
5:15 am
sprite
disorder I mean. It was not the reason I was in the MRI, that was because of a big tumor in my shoulder.

5:15 am
Sally-catlover
Oh I had no idea sprite. So sorry about that. You had surgery? Don't say if it's private.
5:16 am

5:16 am

5:16 am

7:01 am
Gеогgе
no idea, Molly? nice name -- that's one of my nieces' names!
7:02 am

it means only the enable dictionary that babble uses in its programming knows the word
7:02 am
Gеогgе
my sister Siobhan's little girl
7:02 am
hydra
Hi Molly. I think it means that it exists as a word, but they don't know the meaning! When I'm curious, I google the word.
7:02 am
mrpresident
google is best for that
7:02 am
carleekat
siobhan is one of my fav names....that..and meghan...and moira
7:02 am

There are 7 an words, George. And an ab.
7:03 am

well we have a lot of Irish names in our family, carleekat, coz we're Irish, go figure? ha! both parents came over to London from there, met and married here, didn't know each other before they came here!
7:03 am

My mum almost called me Moira. I have 2 friends called Moira.
7:03 am

7:03 am

Still no clarity on the o4/4. All I get is that it's an anagram. I didn't know those were allowed in Babble. Learn something new every grid.

I am reading Proust & the Squid (slowly) - fascinating synthesis of research on the history of reading, the development of the reading brain in children, and in particular the dyslexic brain
7:19 am
72 Temple Owl
heavy reading then?
7:19 am
carleekat
*~*~*POMPOM TOSS FOR DAN *~*~*
7:20 am
dan2bit
actually it's how I like my science writing - story & metaphor based, with copious footnotes in case I want to delve deeper
7:21 am
dan2bit
but fatherhood definitely crimps the reading opportunities :-)
7:21 am
dan2bit
learnt a new favorite word "abecediary" from the history part
7:22 am
72 Temple Owl
meaning?
7:23 am
dan2bit
meaning a language where the alphabet is taught in a prescribed order (ABCD-ary) :-)
7:25 am
carleekat
that Is a great word :)
7:25 am
Gеогgе
I've seen that word somewhere before, dan, can't think where though!? wish I could remember it in word games, ha!
7:25 am
72 Temple Owl
hard to imagine the reverse
7:25 am
72 Temple Owl
or opposite, more precisely
7:26 am
dan2bit
yes the book says that all alphabet languages are abecediary now, though there may have been a point where they were not
7:26 am
carleekat
or..the abscence?
7:27 am
dan2bit
it's contrasted with syllabary writing systems, like Japanese kana, or pictographic, like Kanji or Hieroglyphics
7:28 am
carleekat
now....where would stenography/ short hand be in that?
7:28 am
dan2bit
hmm. good question. stenography probably a combo of alphabet and syllabary? I don't know enough about the coding
7:29 am
carleekat
short hand reminds me of arabic
7:29 am
carleekat
phonetic
7:30 am
dan2bit
the distinction is how many sounds you can represent with a single symbol - less than one is alphabetic, one is syllabary (aka phonetic), more than one (whole word) is pictographic
7:30 am

hi, all. Yesterday, I had the pleasutr of watching my mother's face as I handed hera copy of my book. it was pricesless. She is not easy to impress, but she was blown away. She said, "you really put a lot of work into this!"
7:30 am
dan2bit
yay Angel! what book?
7:31 am
carleekat
and depending upon the "sound" like long or short vowels...there is a different marking added to the letter...now i know arabic is now abecediary ( if i am using the word correctly)

7:48 am
carleekat
it was wasnt it nono... my son was bartending at an outdoor concert last nite..came home frozen....hell when its been 90f for a couple months to drop to low 50s
7:49 am
NonoNanette
exactly Carlee, we just came off a streak of 6 days over 90 and I dont think it ever hit 60 yesterday
7:50 am
carleekat
but really for the last 2 months...temps have been high 80's low 90's....we had 1 or 2 days in low 70's
7:50 am
NonoNanette
yeah same here
7:51 am
carleekat

carleekat
we had that over night the night before and yesterday morning
7:52 am
NonoNanette
we had a couple of showers in the afternoon, luckily we were able to put everything under the awning at that point
7:52 am
carleekat
good good
7:53 am
NonoNanette
got rid of a ton of "junk" its funny what some people will buy
7:53 am
carleekat
i like garage saling...its fun...i just hate having them tho
7:54 am
NonoNanette
we have very little storage room so periodic sales are helpful
7:54 am
carleekat
i know one woul dbe very beneficial... i just get irritated by people who barter and cheap down...i say the price is... that the price..now bugger off
7:55 am
NonoNanette
I hauled out a bunch of extra computer wires, cables ect and said 10 cents each they all went!
7:55 am
carleekat
when i go..i pay the tagged price..i am still getting a deal..why cheap out..and rip someone off
7:55 am
NonoNanette
i had a couple of people barter the price down but not that many and I don't mind on some things
7:56 am
carleekat
i find it insulting..each way
7:57 am
NonoNanette
if the item cost me a lot new and I've barely used it then the price is firm but other things that I really can't use anymore I just want to get rid of it
7:58 am
carleekat
i remember having a garage sale and my husband made this amazing sandbox out of cedar with a canvas canopy top and a nice lid so cats cant dig in it
7:58 am
carleekat
the materials alone were like 350.00
7:58 am
carleekat
someone wanted to buy it brand new..50.00
7:59 am
carleekat
bloody insulting
7:59 am
carleekat
and they stood there...."how dare u ask so much for that...stood there arguing with us makig a scene
8:00 am
NonoNanette
oh that would definitely tick me off carlee
8:01 am
NonoNanette
and I hate when people say, "what's wrong with it, why are you selling it?
8:01 am
carleekat
the people inmy town are cheap... u can tell by the restaurants here....the weathy go out of town to shop...they only come out during "artsy" functions
8:02 am
NonoNanette
first off if something was wrong with it I wouldn't try to sell it!
8:02 am
carleekat
high end clothing for most part is walmart here
8:02 am
carleekat
and going out for italian means going to pizza hut
8:02 am
NonoNanette
lol I hear ya on that
8:03 am
carleekat
there this little area downtown..even tho downtown is almost dead
8:03 am
NonoNanette
even tho we do have an italian restaurant here in town, I still go to Pizza hut for Italian LOL
8:04 am
carleekat
ok..well mexican is taco bell
8:04 am
NonoNanette
our downtown area is quite busy during the summer months as we are a tourist town but winter is another story
8:05 am
carleekat
and a&w is having trouble surviving as they are the most $ fast food
8:05 am
NonoNanette
but it really is geared to the tourists and not the locals which is a shame
8:05 am
carleekat
and we have a pop of 90 000
8:06 am
carleekat
we are geared to blue collar and retired folks
8:08 am
NonoNanette
I don't think there is a single store on market street where you can go and find an outfit to wear for a party or to work or what ever. They are all specialty shops
8:08 am
NonoNanette
And they wonder why all the towns people go to the mall to shop
8:08 am
carleekat
again..downtown..one little block...and jeans are 500.00/ pair we have that..or walmart...no in between cus no one around here will pay in between
8:10 am
carleekat
oh..we have sears too... and zellers ( like kmart)...we are not big enough for a cosco...even tho port huron would flock over in a heart beat for cosco...( port huron in MI and is a 10 min drive....30 if traffic bad at border)

I just picked the last of the tomatoes and almost the last of the blackberries for his supper.....
9:13 am
Mom
you are such a good person Ruby
9:13 am
carleekat
*~*~*pompom twirl*~*~* for ANGEL.....woot
9:13 am
rubyfoo
he doesn't think so!
9:13 am
rubyfoo
I'll never get pompom today!
9:13 am
carleekat
why not ruby????
9:14 am
rubyfoo
42 left and nothing in sight. All I am seeing are lovely phantoms!
9:14 am
Mom
remind him of where he would be today without your loving care these past few weeks. He would have been up sh** creek without a paddle, that's for sure
9:15 am
rubyfoo
he won't even talk to me
9:15 am
carleekat
ahhh..up the proverbial tributary with an adequate means of propulsion...
9:15 am
carleekat
then ignore him ruby
9:15 am
rubyfoo
and tomorrow I have to prepare the whole file for the lawyer and start getting written testimonies from witnesses.....
9:15 am
Mom
maybe you should let him do that, Ruby
9:16 am
rubyfoo
that's why I'm down here in my studio
9:16 am
rubyfoo
he isn't capable
9:16 am
carleekat
i think so too
9:16 am
rubyfoo
he refuses to speak French and can't hear anybody's answers, anyway
9:17 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, the house is big enough that I can totally get away from him
9:17 am
rubyfoo
and it is lovely in here
9:18 am
Mom
stay put then
9:18 am
rubyfoo
babble and nice people, how bad is that?
9:18 am
Mom
it is no wonder you hardly weigh anything ... all that stress you are under
9:19 am
rubyfoo
I don't feel so stressed this time, I guess I'm getting used to it or at least more resigned.....
9:19 am
Mom
Oh Ruby, I wish there was something I could do for you
9:20 am
carleekat
been there...done that
9:20 am
rubyfoo
no, really, I'm OK -- if he wants to stew in his own juice, I'll let him. Tomorrow is another day
9:20 am
Mom
can you sleep in your studio?
9:21 am
herinfernallady
mmf judging from snoring from other room seems i have to battle the cat off the bed too
9:21 am
rubyfoo
I refuse to go the "abject apology, tears, etc." for some imagined trespass
9:22 am
rubyfoo
no, I watch TV in our bed, but it's a king and I barricade myself with 5 pillows! hahah
9:22 am
rubyfoo
and I take the telecommand out of his hand
9:22 am
carleekat
got so cold here last nite i had 3 cats curled up with me... 3 cats..irritable husband...i take the cats any day
9:23 am
herinfernallady
I must consider my self lucky. I have been with himself for 8 years We have had one major fit in all that time
9:23 am
rubyfoo
if the dogs weren't stinky, I'd put them on the bed but, for some reason, chows never get up on the furniture
9:23 am
rubyfoo
you are amazing herin!
9:23 am
Mom
that is good Herin
9:24 am
herinfernallady
We don't see the need to fight. I know that the one fight we had was over a miscommunication of a bill and it wasn't even his fault.
9:24 am
herinfernallady
snippy yes yelling and screaming no
9:24 am
rubyfoo
I think I was alone for so many years between marriages, that I'm not willing to put up with his bu**sh** any more
9:24 am
Mom
good for you Ruby
9:25 am
herinfernallady
and so you shouldn't
9:25 am
rubyfoo
the only problem is that I feel sorry for him
9:26 am
rubyfoo
he is getting old and is sort of broken by the bits. He sees the end and isn't happy about the way he is ageing
9:26 am
Mom
and he could be afraid to face his own mortality.
9:27 am
rubyfoo
and, you might ask, who is????
9:27 am
rubyfoo
that is surely the case
9:27 am
Mom
guess that is the same as what you said
9:27 am
rubyfoo
this is where the age difference becomes noticeable -- it didn't matter 25 years ago!
9:28 am
Mom
I have found people around me who are afraid of dying because of how they have lived and how they treated people. I guess afraid of what might happen to them once they are dead
9:28 am
Mom
what is the age difference, Ruby?
9:29 am
rubyfoo
and he is so estranged from his children, that makes it much worse. He actually has 5 grandchildren and a great- , all of whom he doesn't know!
9:30 am
Mom
he seems to have managed to alienate everyone around him
9:30 am
Mom
do they live over there?
9:30 am
rubyfoo
and I'm his 4th wife!
9:30 am
rubyfoo
but it was brilliant for a while!!!
9:31 am
Mom
it must have been, I can't imagine you marrying him back then with the way he is today
9:32 am
rubyfoo
it was really wonderful for a long time but he was never an easy-going man -- I just didn't mind it while we were working
9:32 am
rubyfoo
I think retirement was the killer for him
9:32 am
rubyfoo
and I'm not a cutie any more, that's for sure!
9:33 am
rubyfoo
I can't believe that enable accepts Fr roof!
9:33 am
Mom
it is what is on the inside that counts not the outside.
9:34 am
herinfernallady
I don't ever want to grow up
9:34 am
Mom
I'm with you Herin, I may grow old, but I am not growing up
9:35 am
rubyfoo

Hi dear redturtlehead. Lovely day here in the Northwest and if you don't like the present weather, wait a couple of minutes and it will change to perhaps something more appealing. Sweater weather in any case (socks with sandals.)
4:40 pm
redturtlehead
Hi stidg! sounds like trouble getting the right clothing in that sort of weather!
4:41 pm

Right, the clothing thing calls for the fashion police quite often. Warm but not fashionistically-speaking, correct.

Me5/12 to finish this grid 1st then do story of clues, but I could not wait so for those starting the grid an 4/8, I will wr 5/8 my story now. I am going to ve 4/7 about my husband's hatred of Babble.I'm addicted to babble. I th 6/21 for it as soon as I wake up. But my hubby is so anti-babble.I me4/5 he really detests the game.Sometimes hubby is the ba4/6 of my existence when it comes to babble. It is a good thing that I did not discover Babble when I was just a ne5/22 wed. I think we woud have gotten divorced within a month I believe it woud be be 4/6ficial for husband to start babbing because it would build his vocabulary, which he lacks.He always en6/18s my help for grammar and spelling when writing a cover letter. But I'm at my wi 4/8 end in trying to get him to join Babble. Husband is hell be 4/6 on avoiding Babbleland. He em 4/5 such contempt for the game. Hubby me 6/27 makes snide remarks and yi5/14 whenever I babble.Sometimes he is a tw 4/8 and st 4/4 up trouble and causes a ri 4/4 and a huge argument ensues. I've argued wi 4/9 him about Babble on several occassions. I think it is a ho 4/5 that my husband hates my babble addiction, yet sees nothing wrong with his Farmville addiction.Now it is ti 4/5 for me to get fireworks. I'm going to open up the li 4/4 and find my last three words. Then I am going to go watch the movie An4/4 and the King. Bye

Jen, you will find that missing "t" when you get a round to4

My Other Half, being dyslexic, didn't want a subscription. He plays occasionally, but is often useful to me for finding the wird 'misspelt' words.

Or even weird 'misspelled' words!
8:52 pm

my inability to spell has often paid off

Just been listening to Morning Has Broken, one of my favourite hymns. Had that at my wedding and want it at my funeral. 'Amazing Grace' was the other hymn sung. I wanted 'All Things Bright & Beautiful', too. However, I stuck to the two that had been in the 70s charts, hoping the congregation as well as the small crowd of choirboys would also sing along.
