4:27 am

Kallia

oh how I agree with that Sprite

4:27 am

Kallia

every ones problems and concerns are equally valid

4:27 am

sprite

exactly

4:27 am

Flask1

And so say me too Sprite!!

4:28 am

sprite

yay! :)

4:30 am

Kallia

I had a very real situation that illustrates that perfectly. When I worked for a small book publisher in her home, her husband was dying from ccancer, at home. It was very sad, but as the boss she had no idea of the effect the whole thing had on her staff, and she treated us very badly during that time. I know that she was going through hell, but so were her staff. She lost 3 staff during that time. And those left were at work when her husband died .

4:30 am

sprite

and speaking of doing great things with your life regardless of your problems... I refer to my icon for today :)

4:31 am

Kallia

oh yes Sprite, rising above the difficulties

4:33 am

sprite

oh yes, that is a very good example. Having a really severe situation doesn't mean you should forget about others. And while wrestling with relatively minor problems, one must remember to give them attention and not to belittle them, just because somebody else is in bigger trouble.

4:33 am

Flask1

yep!.....prime example!

4:34 am

Kallia

twas not a pleasant time.....but it taught me something

4:35 am

sprite

if your boss had been able to remember you were all suffering with and for her, she would have benefitted from the support and the sharing, I think.

4:36 am

Flask1

lave

4:36 am

Flask1

Ooops!!

4:36 am

sprite

*giggles* I did, this morning, honestly, Flask.

4:37 am

Kallia

oh yes , but what she did gave the staff the 'freedom' to bitch and moan about the situation, which I don't think any of them really meant, it was her attitude that did that.

4:37 am

Kallia

oh I haven't yet Flask lol

4:38 am

Flask1

hence the reason I don't chat!!

4:38 am

redturtlehead

Hello all. I was honestly expecting this grid to be really large. we have not had a big one in a while.

4:38 am

sprite

oh please chat, Flask. Who cares about the free clues, lol.

4:38 am

sprite

hi red, no we are due for one, aren't we!

4:38 am

Kallia

free clues are great...no need to think LOL

4:38 am

Kallia

hello red

4:39 am

redturtlehead

tomorrow would be a good day for one for Me... maybe not for Others.

4:39 am

redturtlehead

Hi Kallia.

4:39 am

Kallia

not for me tomorrow

4:39 am

sprite

hmmm no not really. I could really really use one on Monday though!

4:40 am

Flask1

I don't care.....I often think some poor wee soul is sitting struggling to find a word....then along comes someone like me and gives them a wee "freebie"

4:40 am

kje

yipee should be a word

4:40 am

Kallia

I am away next week from Tuesday...off to see my friend glantarrel

4:40 am

redturtlehead

love freebies, going to look at chat.

4:40 am

sprite

*agrees with kje and waves hi*

4:40 am

Kallia

hi kje

4:40 am

kje

*waves back*

4:41 am

redturtlehead

hi kje.

4:41 am

kje

hello all

4:41 am

sprite

exactly Flask!

4:42 am

Flask1

Is this a nippy wee grid today?

4:43 am

Kallia

some bits are nippy...others not

4:43 am

Norma

Morning all..... not a nice grid today

4:43 am

sprite

I am smiling at the combination of un6/27 and nu4/6.

4:43 am

Kallia

k's were nippy nad the d's

4:43 am

sprite

it is moderate, Flask. Some easy parts, some new words, some tough parts.

4:44 am

sprite

hiya Norma

4:44 am

Norma

Hi Sprite

4:45 am

Kallia

Hi Norma

4:46 am

sprite

nu6/7 combo and av5 are new words for me, so far

4:47 am

Kallia

the nu's are new for me too Sprite...dont have the av yet

4:47 am

sprite

if it helps: the av5 is a boat especially used for dispatches. I didn't even know there was such a thing, lol.

4:48 am

Kallia

me neither...I'll bear that in mind when I get back to it lol

4:48 am

Kallia

thanks

4:49 am

sprite

yvw :D
It is one of the things I like about playing Babble. I keep learning new words. Usually unuseable, but who cares!

4:50 am

Chris P

love the definition for the nu6/7!

4:50 am

Kallia

my parcel of art supplies has just arrive :) off to unpack it, back later

4:50 am

HI

4:51 am

scouser

Hello hydra - want any clues before I go tunnelling again?

4:51 am

Chris P

yes - I don't often look up the meanings, but I'm glad I did this time

4:52 am

sprite

hi scouser! I didn't see hydra... did I miss her coming in?

Hey lady! *hug*

4:53 am

herinfernallady

Hugs

4:54 am

scouser

Hi sprite - I can see she's online but may not be chattering. Some strange words in this grid !

4:54 am

sprite

how is the job going, lady?

4:54 am

herinfernallady

I start on the 14eb

4:55 am

sprite

yes, some new ones. As Chris said, the nu6/7 are fun to learn and remember :)

4:55 am

sprite

oh how stupid of me, you told me that before, lady. Looking forward to starting?

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Sprite you are not stupid. you have other things to think of.

4:56 am

sprite

yep, but I care about you, so I want to remember the important things in your life :)

4:58 am

scouser

However, none of us is a nu6 that is certain !

4:58 am

sprite

lol I second that!

4:59 am

herinfernallady

Hugs

5:03 am

sprite

so... are you looking forward to starting, lady? Excited or a bit scared or both?

5:04 am

herinfernallady

both

5:05 am

sprite

will think of you. And I am certain you will do well. I hope you will have a lot of fun too!

5:05 am

6:04 am

Trifioso

good morning, my dear babble friends

6:10 am

Trifioso

aaaaand it's official. I am officially paranoid in the chog now. Have NO idea what I did to offend everyone, but I wish someone would tell me, as I would humble apologize

6:10 am

Trifioso

*humbly*

6:11 am

FMitch

LOL Trif! Good morning :)

6:11 am

Trifioso

Good morning FM, and I am actually not kidding. I seem to be a pariah these days, and have no idea why. if you know, I would greatly appreciate a clue

6:12 am

FMitch

I have no idea dear.

6:12 am

FMitch

although NB no longer talks to me :(

6:13 am

Trifioso

me either! though the provenance of that, at least in my case, isn't too hard to suss out.

6:13 am

FMitch

ditto

6:14 am

FMitch

Ah well there are lots of other lovely babblers out there.

6:15 am

Trifioso

well, I do have some good news to share -- my littlest daughter, the one I call tertiare, asked me to pleeease set her up as a babbler the other day! This is HUGE, as she has some pretty significant learning issues, so the idea that she is interested in ANY thing having to do with words, or letters, or (dread) spelling is very encouraging

6:15 am

Trifioso

plus, it means I now have a second generation babbler! :)

6:15 am

Bremen

adun c

6:16 am

Bremen

sorry - my finger clipped onto the space bar... :(

6:16 am

Bremen

*slipped - difficult to type when you have a cat in your lap! ~_^

6:16 am

FMitch

That is great Trif!
Hi Bremen

6:16 am

hydra

Hi Trif. And hi everyone. Just wanted to chip in and say I managed to offend someone a while ago, too, and have been kinda avoiding the chog, but I think it has blown over now. Glad to hear about your daughter wanting to Babble!

6:16 am

Trifioso

she is lolo224, should you come across her

6:16 am

Trifioso

good morning hydra!

6:17 am

FMitch

Can't imagine you offending anyone hydra!

6:18 am

FMitch

We will keep an eye out for her Trif

6:18 am

Trifioso

in other news, I made 8 bagels for the kiddos last night before I went to bed. When I came down to the kitchen this morning, there were just three left!

6:19 am

hydra

Oh I did, FMitch. Believe me! I can't say more in case they are lurking. I was 'guilty of associating with the wrong people'. Yet I take everyone as I find them, so it was all very upsetting. 'Nuff said! I have 42 words left to find and beetroot soup to make :-)

6:19 am

hydra

It was the house elves, Trif.

6:19 am

Trifioso

hydra, is it true that beetroot soup can be used to induce labor, or is that an old wives tale?

6:20 am

FMitch

*le sigh* glad you are back chatting again

6:20 am

hydra

I heard that of raspberries, Trif.

6:20 am

FMitch

and a good hot curry

6:20 am

hydra

Thanks, FMitch. I almost deleted my blog and gave up Babble. But as you can see, I didn't.

6:20 am

Trifioso

mostly here in the states they speak of chinese food....

6:21 am

wildcat17

clue for left corner A please for NBT

6:21 am

Trifioso

phantom: puddle

6:22 am

FMitch

mmmm I am cooking sweet and sour pork for lunch today when I tear myself away from the chat.

6:22 am

hydra

Ooh, that sounds lovely, FMitch.

6:22 am

Trifioso

wildcat, scroll down to 6:15

6:23 am

wildcat17

LOL ty

6:23 am

Trifioso

LOL - don't thank me!

6:23 am

Flask1

I can sympathise with you Hydra.....I didn't chat for months for the same reason......and when I do come back it happened again!!!!

6:23 am

FMitch

we can blame and thank bremen's cat for the clue.

6:23 am

wildcat17

ty for pointing it out

6:24 am

FMitch

Hi Flask.

6:24 am

Trifioso

is your "same reason" the same as my same reason, do you think?

6:24 am

wildcat17

people are always going to have issues with other people. the trick is to remember it's not about you - it's their problem

6:25 am

Flask1

So now I just jump in n out when it suits me........well mine was quite well publicised!!

6:25 am

wildcat17

publicity is just a way to shift the "blame" from them to you. don't fall for it

6:25 am

FMitch

v true wild.

6:26 am

Flask1

thats true wildcat......however when all in chog are putting their tuppence worth in, its hard to remember that!

6:26 am

wildcat17

I know it shouldn't but it always amazes me when people pick at each other and work hard at not getting along

6:26 am

wildcat17

true as well flask

6:27 am

Flask1

I seem to attract the sensitive ones!!!

6:27 am

Flask1

lol

6:28 am

FMitch

I wonder if Dr_G had any idea what he was creating when he started this site :)

6:29 am

Flask1

lol...I think not Mitch!

6:29 am

wildcat17

probably not. but anytime you get more than one person in a group there will be conflicts

6:30 am

wildcat17

and it's off to work for me. hagd e1

6:30 am

Flask1

thats called competition, that is!!!

6:30 am

hydra

Hi Flask. Sorry I didn't reply. I had to go downstairs and check my oven. Sounds like you have had real bad luck on here. I'm so sorry. I really don't understand people who are united by a game being so petty as to snip at each other on the chog.

6:30 am

FMitch

Bye wild.

6:31 am

Flask1

you too wildcat!!!

6:31 am

hydra

Hi and bye, Wildcat

6:32 am

Trifioso

i actually wouldn't mind if it was JUST snipping on the chog. It's the email campaigns that get to me. If you have an issue with someone here, discuss it here!

6:32 am

Flask1

If thats what they're like in chog....I would hate to meet them face to face!

6:32 am

hydra

I second that!!!

6:32 am

gramma

I come in peace. Hi everyone

6:32 am

Flask1

Correct Trif!!!

6:32 am

Trifioso

good morning, gramma!

6:32 am

hydra

Let's hope the nice folk cancel out the nasties. Hi gramma!

6:32 am

Flask1

Hi Gramma....

6:33 am

FMitch

But on the positive side I have been so lucky to get to know and meet Ata and Haz.

6:33 am

FMitch

Hi gramma

6:34 am

gramma

Maybe we should discuss sex politics or religion, instead of silly words? We could get the chog down to nothing after a flurry of opinions.

6:34 am

Flask1

Yes....and I have met Lillian, in fact she was here on Saturday!

6:34 am

Trifioso

right now I would be delighted if someone could discuss the lowest row e, which I cannot shift and need for nbt

6:35 am

hydra

How lovely, Flask. Sounds as if you have made some good friends through Babble.

6:35 am

gramma

How about THE EN*. past tense

6:36 am

Flask1

Yes.....am very fond of her!

6:36 am

Trifioso

bless you gramma, nbt

6:36 am

Flask1

we get on well.....

6:36 am

6:37 am

hydra

I'm stuck on the nu 6 and 7. Any clues?

6:37 am

FMitch

the strangest of those e's is the 7 - think Woodstock it was a pop ........... minus the f

6:38 am

hydra

Yes, that IS an odd word.

6:38 am

gramma

Ty, FMitch

6:39 am

FMitch

nu6 = most of being disrobed plus your kith and *** (backwards)

6:40 am

hydra

Thanks FMitch. Another weird one for the vocabulary!

6:40 am

Trifioso

thank you all for the e help

Hi Esprit.

6:41 am

EspritdJean

hy hydra, everyone

6:42 am

hydra

Just found the sc words which somewhat resemble that es7 in that they appear to lack the correct first letter.

6:42 am

FMitch

Love the def of the nu6 - a persistently dull, boring pest.
Hi Esprit.

6:42 am

hydra

Oven is calling again. See you later!

6:43 am

FMitch

That is a word we can use in everyday converstation

6:44 am

gramma

I just looked it up too. Fun one!

6:45 am

MollyL

Trif, are you still here?

6:47 am

Trifioso

yes, here I am molly - sorry, was on phone for a minute

6:47 am

MollyL

What in the world could you, as sweet as you are, have done to offend someone?

6:48 am

Trifioso

you would be surprised! but I have no idea, which is why I was puzzled by my sudden invisible status lately

6:48 am

Trifioso

you all have done much to reassure this morning

6:48 am

FMitch

good!

6:49 am

MollyL

What does "invisible status" mean?

6:49 am

FMitch

and hello Molly.

6:49 am

MollyL

Hey FM

6:49 am

Trifioso

hmm...how to explain? people who used to speak to me in the chog suddenly seemed to be unable to see me.

6:49 am

Trifioso

anyway, on to other topics.

6:50 am

MollyL

Oh, okay, I get you now.

6:50 am

FMitch

Time for lunch here. Happy Babbling and TTFN.

6:51 am

Trifioso

this is classic Trifioso - I signed up for an online 21 day yoga challenge, totally overdid it the first day, and have been unable to manage days 2, 3 and thus far, 4. Hoping I will at least TRY the online class today.

6:51 am

Trifioso

bye FM! enjoy that faboo lunch!

6:53 am

Trifioso

enable does not accept "yipee!" yipee.

6:53 am

Flask1

Ok, fireworks for me too.....any clues needed before I go??

6:54 am

Trifioso

huzzah for flask! the third y would be appreciated - have ye 4, 6 yi 4, 6 and yi 4, 7

6:55 am

Flask1

6:55 am

Flask1

its a plural....

6:56 am

Flask1

Scottish for the number 1

6:57 am

Trifioso

merci!

6:57 am

Flask1

Got it, Trif??

6:58 am

Trifioso

ach, yah

6:58 am

Flask1

ok....lolol

6:59 am

MollyL

Trif, I got a low impact yoga DVD and it doesn't over work you. It's called "Yoga For Arthritis" but the woman who leads it calls it "Yoga for the rest of us."

6:59 am

Trifioso

excellent!

6:59 am

Flask1

bye for now!

I am a firm believer in the idea that a workout that leaves someone sore after the first workout will just make people give up before they get started.

7:03 am

hi all

7:03 am

MollyL

I don't understand how se 6/24 is a word. If I were to turn in an English paper that included the sentence "I se6/24 a letter to my Mother", it would have red marks all over it.

7:04 am

MollyL

7:09 am

MollyL

I made a bunch of email friends last year following teen circumnavigator Jessica Watson. They have been sending me updates every day. It sounds like it's still pretty bad over there. In parts of the country.

7:09 am

car.eeyore

I know most of them are not directly affected, but the emotional toll on the country as a whole....

7:09 am

jmcnrick

that does seem high car

7:10 am

MollyL

I meant email friends from Australia.

7:10 am

car.eeyore

mrp, herin and sally (?) were on the other morning, and they filled me in.

7:15 am

dofith

Hi, everyone. Thanks for the concern for we Aussies. Can tell you that Daykat and I are both in Western Australia - as far from the flooding as California is from New York! As far as I know, no babblers are directly affected by this catastrophe. Cannot believe what I've been seeing on the tele.

7:16 am

car.eeyore

Oh dofith! TY for checking in!!!!!!

7:16 am

jmcnrick

ty molly i have been trying everything but that!

7:16 am

jmcnrick

hi dofith and glad to hear about you and daykat

7:17 am

jmcnrick

i think that accounts for everyone now

7:17 am

dofith

I live in Perth, capital of Western Australia, and daykat is a couple of hundred kms south.

7:17 am

MollyL

Thanks for chiming in Dofith. Prayers out for all affected by these terrible floods.

7:17 am

dofith

Did you know, we were each other's bride's maids?!

7:18 am

car.eeyore

Awesome!

7:18 am

jmcnrick

no really? how cool!

7:18 am

jmcnrick

i like the fact that some babblers know each other personally

7:19 am

dofith

Thanks, all of you. The concern shown by everyone is one os the few good things to come out of this tragedy.

7:27 am

jmcnrick

i wish i was as amiable in person as i am online lol!

7:27 am

Trifioso

thanks jmc. I just wish I knew what made them so mad at me? I mean, I know there was some fracas a few months back, but that is long buried, or so I thought

7:29 am

Trifioso

good morning river!

7:29 am

Riverdance

happens to me all the time

7:29 am

jmcnrick

gosh that happens to me too! i either type *sulks* or ignore it

7:29 am

MollyL

Trif, I can tell you that I have come on here and posted something and been totally ignored because people are so into their own conversations. I posted about my kids finding their cat and the making bagels discussion just went right on as if I was not here.

7:30 am

jmcnrick

matter of fact just yesterday i was commenting on a conversation and it was like i wasn't here

7:30 am

Trifioso

was that today molly? oh, gosh, Iam sorry if that was me!

7:30 am

No ,that was a while ago.

7:45 am

MollyL

Oh sorry, it was River who wanted the ad. Anyway, sing out if anyone wants a hint.

7:45 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I tried your clue re: the donut, dont see it but I sure would love a donut with my coffee now

7:46 am

MollyL

Annie...ad plus most of the cap you put on one who acts the dummy.

7:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

What would you do with that coffee and donut?

7:46 am

Riverdance

that donut clue also works for oreo's with milk

7:47 am

Anniebrook

du4 it, I know, Kap. so what am I not seeing?

7:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

I wouldn't have gotten that

7:47 am

Riverdance

There is another letter that makes the k sound, sort of.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

GOT IT ! Thanks Molly!

7:48 am

Anniebrook

7:49 am

Anniebrook

that ad means curved inward, hooked

7:51 am

Riverdance

thanks Annie

7:51 am

MollyL

I'm pretty sure that will never be on my commonly used words list Annie. : D

7:51 am

Anniebrook

youre welcome, How is Keith?

7:52 am

Riverdance

he is great - you wont believe what that crazy boy did yesterday.......

7:53 am

Riverdance

no school due to the snow storm - he wanted to go to a friends house on the other side of the lake. We couldnt bring him - roads bad and we needed to get to work. My DH told him if he could find a way he could go. So Keith got out his cross country gear and skied 10 miles to get there. Had to jump out of the way of one snowplow - cant stop that boy

7:53 am

Anniebrook

what?

7:53 am

Anniebrook

River, good for him!

7:54 am

Riverdance

scared the living daylights of of me when I found out what he did......cross country skiing on the roads during white out conditions - yikes

7:55 am

Anniebrook

river, it would have scared me too. he sounds like the ki4 of kid that will meet challenges in life and overcome them

7:56 am

Riverdance

he definately is that....

7:57 am

Anniebrook

I dont know him but he is dear to me...the family must be so proud of what he has overcome so far. He also has a loving family which is so important.

7:57 am

Riverdance

thank you Annie

7:57 am

Anniebrook

your welcome

7:57 am

But then you'll have to cope with airtravel hassles.

8:20 am

Good for you, Owl.

72 Temple Owl

8:43 am

Aloyisius

Metatarsus adductus--seen in newborns--feet are curved in due to in utero constraint.

scrabbler, do you eat fish or are you vegan?

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

i only ask because i see good fish recipe on today shoe, easy

8:52 am

phaeton

no...first time here...normally we are in TX, but last two winters have been with daughter in NC, taking a break from taking care of littleuns

8:56 am

Uneaixoise

Scrabs, how scary is it that a good friend's infant grandson has been in a daycare with children with RSV -- they just found out yesterday and his mom's staying home with him today -- no fever . . .

8:56 am

Scrabbler

I stopped eating seafood in the early summer. I still eat cheese + eggs but am close to going vegan. I can buy veggie based "cheese".

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

well they also roasted winter vegetables with spice like cinnamon nutmeg and some guinness!

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Une, RSV is epidemic every winter. 100% of kids get an RSV illness by age 3 yrs, but the little one--under 3 mo or so can get quite sick.

8:57 am

Scrabbler

How old is the boy, Une?

8:57 am

wvteach

what is RSV?

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

3 months . . .

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Owl, I love roasted veggies--potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, etc.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

respiratory syncytial virus--a virus that causes cold symptoms, cough, and, especially in kids under 2-3 yrs--> wheezing in the chest.

8:59 am

Uneaixoise

he has some congestion but no fever so far . . .

8:59 am

phaeton

is that the same as croup?

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Like any respiratory virus there is no medical treatment other than supportive care---keep the kid comfortable and hydrated.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Croup is caused by Parainfluenza virus.

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

thanks, scrabs, that's what I had found online -- comfortable, cuddled and push fluids

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Fever is not the concern, Une. Fever is the body's defense vs germs, so is beneficial. What to watch for is breathing hard and fast. If kids need to be hospitalized we give oxygen, and if they cannot drink safely, an IV for fluids. Then we just wait 2-4 days til they improve.

Hi Molly - everyone - good morning.

9:57 am

this is our 4th time down there.... son built a home there 5 years ago.... he and family use it when they can get away... his inlaws use it... but only family.

9:57 am

trentsnana

Sounds like a great deal!

9:58 am

trentsnana

Do you fly or drive?

9:58 am

dianedecoder

Casa Grande is smaller... but everything there you could want. Golf courses all around and his home is in Mission Royale.... has its own golf course too.

9:58 am

dianedecoder

Drive... and I'm keeping an eye on the road conditions !

9:58 am

trentsnana

Small is better.

9:58 am

trentsnana

We stay with some friends in a retirement community.

9:59 am

trentsnana

Someday we will take our 5th wheel down for a couple of months - but would want to stay in a less congested area.

9:59 am

trentsnana

You almost HAVE to drive with all of the stuff you have to take for 2-1/2 months!

9:59 am

trentsnana

Hope you have safe, dry roads!

10:00 am

dianedecoder

sounds nice too... we have quite a few friends who spend the winter in Mesa and Apache Wells

10:00 am

trentsnana

There's a place called Apache Junction, too, that is pretty neat.

10:00 am

dianedecoder

It's your state that I'm keeping track of...and into Idaho. So far it looks okay... Monida pass has snow but roads are clear...

10:01 am

Yes... it could be Apache Junction... not sure but I know they are close

10:01 am

RVer's! Been to Casa Grande and Mesa. Nice area but too dry for hubby

hello everyone - stopping in quick to look for a few more words

10:08 am

trentsnana

We have views out every one of our windows of the rockies. We moved here from Michigan. Hubby loves to bird hunt. I said I would move here if we could see the mountains!

10:09 am

phaeton

Trent...I am from Michigan...where were you in MI?

10:10 am

trentsnana

Saginaw area, you?

10:11 am

phaeton

I grew up in Troy, near Detroit, but we live in Harrisville now

10:11 am

phaeton

my daughter lives in Saginaw...have you been gone long?

10:11 am

trentsnana

Used to go up to Harrisville for a craft show every year, I believe.

10:11 am

trentsnana

Three years.

10:11 am

trentsnana

My sister is in Rochester Hills, not far from Troy.

10:12 am

phaeton

yep, labor day weekend, still there.

10:12 am

trentsnana

My daughter is still in Saginaw. She teaches 1st grade at St. Stephens.

10:12 am

phaeton

Been gone from Troy 40 years

10:12 am

trentsnana

Too crazy down there, right?

10:13 am

phaeton

My son-in-law is fire fighter in Saginaw

10:13 am

trentsnana

Oh, ok.

10:13 am

trentsnana

I worked for Saginaw County for 20 years.

trentsnana

Retired and moved out here.

10:14 am

phaeton

mine worked for Chrysler..retired and we travel in the winter

10:15 am

trentsnana

Sounds good. My hubby ended up taking another job - worried about his pension and healthcare because of the bankruptcy. Hopefully, he'll be done in a few years and then we can travel. In the meantime, we take the 5th wheel on short trips. Living out here, it feels like you're on vacation all the time. Yellowstone is very close and so are other beautiful things to see.

10:16 am

trentsnana

We are still young - in our 50's.

10:16 am

phaeton

2:03 pm

redturtlehead

The news is just incredible, such a large area flooded.

2:05 pm

lynxxx

I can't beleive 75% of Queensland myself - that is huge! Flooding in other States too now though not as bad as Qld

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

It's in so many areas that probably never would have expected to have something like that happen too...

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

Was that part one of the areas that has been without rain for years?

2:10 pm

lynxxx

Not sure on that Red - a lot of Queenslnad is very tropical, cyclones etc but some parts like the south-west corner would be dry most of the time. Generally they have been having so much rain this last few months the ground is sodden and couldn't absorb anymore and the main dam was 180% full(!) The rain had to go somewhere - and it did!

2:11 pm

redturtlehead

I dont think its the same part. I read about which used to be really great farm land... It is just amazing.

5:03 pm

6:46 pm

Bugsaw

me neither. It was clued this morning

6:53 pm

stidgmere

Hi TO I'm pondering Macbeth and trying to remember the name of the king. Oh, my.

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

It is quite a common Scottish name. Could rhyme wih with you do with cookies and milk

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

what you do.....

6:56 pm

stidgmere

Scarf? as in I'm going to scarf down some cookies and milk. I did make scones today for our tea. But other than that my Scottish ration is not very high.

6:56 pm

stidgmere

Got it bugsaw. I just didn't get far enough into the name.

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

sure, How did I forget King Scarf? ! trying again......

6:58 pm

stidgmere

We're having great weather for Scotland down here in the NW. The clouds are hangin' on the heath and all that.

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

I love how clouds do that. It looks like fog on the land and always makes me think of Scotland, even tho I have never been there

7:00 pm

Bugsaw

We had a snow day yesterday but the temp went up so we have slush everywhere today

7:00 pm

stidgmere

Exactly, I think sometimes actually seeing places one has dreamed of spoils the image. We're going to see Portland, Oregon next week--can't spoil that broad-shouldered city on the river. (Or is that Chicago?)

7:02 pm

Bugsaw

I got totally lost in Portland once when I couldn't get off the freeway and back on it again. Now I never stop!!

7:03 pm

harpjane

hello, what's our theme for the day?

7:03 pm

stidgmere

Oh, just getting through Portland ranks high on my life time achievements. Everytime it seems they have added or subtracted a portion of the freeway as I have remembered it.

7:04 pm

Bugsaw

I think it is our favourite scientist harpjane but I am a day or two late with my dragonfly.

7:04 pm

cosdem

yesterday we had like 1-2 feet of snow andit was 10 degrees.. today the snow is gone.. and its 50 degrees.. .and will be 50 for the next 7 days

7:04 pm

harpjane

dragonflies are good

7:05 pm

Bugsaw

I like them more than scientists so I cheated

7:06 pm

gapeach

Where are you, cos?

7:06 pm

cosdem

colorado springs

7:06 pm

stidgmere

Wow, cosdem we are also going to be in balmy weather for the next few days.

7:06 pm

harpjane

my dad was a scientist if you count meteorology

7:06 pm

cosdem

but the yard is a mess now lol

7:06 pm

gapeach

Oh, it sounded like what we had here in GA earlier in the week.

7:07 pm

cosdem

ill enjoy the nice weatehr while i can.. february is really bad for colorado weatherwise

7:07 pm

Bugsaw

my Dad was a scientist too but was only famous in his field so who would know that?

7:08 pm

Bugsaw

I have always wanted to go to Colorado,Cosdem. Will get there one day.

7:08 pm

harpjane

oh, the scientist has to be famous? not just our favourite?

7:08 pm

cosdem

u should. its a beautiful state

7:09 pm

harpjane

yes it is cos, i loved the Garden of the Gods when I was in your neck of the woods

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think so harpjane. You should use your Dad and explain it in your message! We can all learn something

7:09 pm

cosdem

garden of the gods - my absolute favorite place

7:09 pm

harpjane

but the Dunes are my all time favorite Colorado spot

7:09 pm

cosdem

i just love how it's free to the public too

7:09 pm

harpjane

my dad died so long ago i don't have any digital photos of him, bugs

7:10 pm

harpjane

but it's a nice thought

7:10 pm

harpjane

i could keep with my cartoon theme and go with Sherman & Mr. Peabody

7:11 pm

Bugsaw

I had to scan a pic of my Dad when I used him as an icon for something else. It worked and I was suprised by how many people actually read it

7:11 pm

Bugsaw

Does anyone remember who the scientist was in Tudor the Turtle cartoons?

7:11 pm

harpjane

maybe i could use the mad scientists from MST 3K?

7:12 pm

harpjane

by the time i decide I'll be done with the grid!

7:12 pm

cosdem

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:30 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. If you really want to know how I am, I'm fine physically, except that the ankle I inujured back in 2009 is hurting again months later. I'm not fine emotionally, a bit cheesed off right now, but that's another story and has to do with kids and stepkids and food. I finished the grid not long after the flip, so I was free to be a grumpy old woman yesterday. LOL. This evening, I have watched a young vixens two brothers fight over the right to mate with her, leaving her bleeding and whimpering in pain in my garden. She's okay now, I've fed her and no doubt she'll be stronger to choose which, if either, later.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Back in 2010, I meant! I can't keep up with the year changing every 12 months. LOL.

9:33 pm

Jacula

It actually looked like she got in the middle to try and stop them fighting, but she's so tiny. Her mother was a little bigger. Haven't seen last year's Mum and Dad so far this year.

9:38 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jacula on finishing grid early.Hooray

9:39 pm

Minveryork
