2:05 am

flosey

2:06 am

kalea

i heard jane goodall speak once.........she said she owed her success to her mom, who let her bring all the critters home she wanted

2:06 am

flosey

I think my mother instilled the fear in me before I had ever even seen one

2:07 am

flosey

we had a very religious neighbour and he actually prayed that God would make them go away from where we lived!!

2:07 am

kalea

Hi Christine, hi all others.

2:53 am

sprite

what's with the tiny grids again! Building up to a giant one on a day we don't have time to spare?

2:54 am

herinfernallady

HI

2:54 am

sprite

hi lady :)

2:54 am

sandrafrances

Morning all. How many words today please

2:54 am

herinfernallady

HI SPRITE> MISSED YOU.

2:54 am

herinfernallady

HI Sandra

2:54 am

sprite

only 62, sandra, good morning

2:54 am

sprite

missed you too, hun. How have you been?

2:55 am

sandrafrances

Thanks

2:55 am

sprite

gotta love Babble! How knew, a word like the J even existed :D Totally makes my day.

2:55 am

herinfernallady

GOod tired but good

2:56 am

sprite

*sends lady a busload of energy*

2:56 am

herinfernallady

Nah. I am ok. My mum asked me how much I had to drink as I was all scattered on the phone

2:57 am

sprite

*Who* knew, not how.

2:57 am

herinfernallady

There is a J word interesting

2:58 am

sprite

aw poor lady. I bet she knows you are a bit scattered sometimes, without any alcohol involved.

Yes, great word. Learned something new today.

2:58 am

herinfernallady

I just looked that word up.

2:59 am

herinfernallady

I am tired as I was in the car with a learner and 2 others for 4 hours. That is a tad stressful. Kids a good driver he just needs to learn to concentrate

3:00 am

sandrafrances

Have you the stats for the j word please

3:00 am

herinfernallady

JN 5

3:01 am

sprite

just too much stimuli and input, I know! A car is too small for that many people, at least it is for people who are sensitive to stimuli.

3:01 am

sandrafrances

Got it thanks

3:01 am

sprite

it means: knowledge acquired through meditation and study as a means of reaching Brahman.

3:01 am

herinfernallady

If I didn't feel safe I wouldn't have gotten in the care

3:03 am

sprite

yep, it is not the safety. Just the stress of being in a car with 4 people for a long time. I get stressed too in situations like that.

3:06 am

herinfernallady

I am fine with having the radio on loud and a window open

3:08 am

sprite

that is pretty good. I need silence or I go bananas. Except when I am alone in the car. Then I love to play music and sing along.

3:09 am

Christine

jn5 - what an odd word --- yes, we have no ???

3:10 am

sprite

love the word. Not just a new word, but a consonant combination I didn't see before at the beginning of a word.

3:15 am

herinfernallady

I am going to go. Ihave an attention span of a fish

3:16 am

sprite

*hugs the lady* All the best, hun.

3:17 am

herinfernallady

HUGSSSSSSSSSSs. Plus Beetle Juice is on too

3:18 am

3:20 am

Christine

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster.

3:21 am

sprite

wow. That long ago already!

3:25 am

morning all

4:54 am

rubyfoo

good morning. Is anybody still here?

4:56 am

Brookie

I'm here!

4:56 am

Brookie

How are you, Ruby?

4:56 am

ChampFit

I'm sorta here!

4:56 am

Brookie

Hi Champ, sorta! :-)

4:56 am

ChampFit

Can't believe this grid, and can't believe we had two little ones in a row!

4:57 am

rubyfoo

very tired, brookie. Husband is sick, very, and I'm not sure with what. I've been whining about it since Tuesday

4:57 am

Brookie

At least the little grids are during the work week, so we have more time for the larger grids on the weekends.

4:57 am

rubyfoo

hello champ

4:57 am

rubyfoo

and how are you Brookie?

4:58 am

ChampFit

hi ruby1

4:58 am

ChampFit

!

4:58 am

Brookie

What are his symptoms, Ruby? (Not that I'm a doctor or anything.)

4:59 am

ChampFit

So sorry Ruby! Nothing worse than a sick hubby

4:59 am

Brookie

And to answer your question, things are very good on this end.

4:59 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad to hear that

4:59 am

rubyfoo

tell me some of the good stuff!

5:00 am

rubyfoo

I could use some good news!!!!

5:00 am

ChampFit

tell me, too! day is not starting well...

5:01 am

Brookie

New job with significantly more $$ and a really cool boss, children are doing well, just got a bunch of free new clothes from someone who needed to give them away, and won a free gift certificate to a cool restaurant yesterday.

5:01 am

ChampFit

Awesome!!! Go with it...you're on a roll!

5:01 am

Brookie

I'm going to stay on this roll as long as possible!

5:01 am

rubyfoo

I think he's had a small stroke, is having trouble walking, intermittently too hot and too cold, pressure is up and down, voice is different, mouth looks funny, and his doctor, who came on Tuesday said that it didn't look like anything serious!

5:02 am

ChampFit

Smart!

5:02 am

rubyfoo

that is all wonderful, brookie!!!!

5:03 am

Brookie

Can you switch to a different doctor? That's unbelievable that a doctor would say that.

5:03 am

ChampFit

ruby, does the doc think it was a stroke?

5:03 am

rubyfoo

he wouldn't say

5:03 am

ChampFit

lovely. so helpful...NOT

5:04 am

rubyfoo

he has a long-staning probablem with blocked arteries (3 stents) and when his pressure gets too low, that is what I think of, not enough blood to the brain

5:04 am

rubyfoo

standing*

5:04 am

ChampFit

makes sense. people have small strokes and never even know it.

5:04 am

rubyfoo

and, of course, all of this in French AND I'm female!

5:04 am

Brookie

At this point, assuming it's a small stroke, what can be done?

5:05 am

rubyfoo

the doctor said, helpfully of course, he is, after all, old! Oh, thank you, I hadn't noticed

5:05 am

rubyfoo

I don't think anything

5:05 am

Brookie

I've heard other people complain about doctors who say the same thing, as if someone who is "old" shouldn't be worried about anymore. It's sad.

5:06 am

Brookie

We all deserve the best care and attention.

5:06 am

ChampFit

More like "they're old, so things will go wrong, and there's not much to do about it."

5:06 am

rubyfoo

at least he makes housecalls!

5:07 am

ChampFit

it's a crappy attitude when they're speaking about someone you love!

5:07 am

ChampFit

that's true ruby. has to be easier on you!

5:08 am

rubyfoo

I was ready to call emergency the other night, because I obviously can't lift him. But now I arranged with a friend who said she and her husband would come, even in the middle of the night, if he just falls (obviously not if it's another heart attack!)

5:09 am

rubyfoo

husband made me promise not to call emergency

5:09 am

Brookie

That's a very good friend you have.

5:09 am

ChampFit

my mom did that once, rather than call me, and I live 5 minutes away!

5:09 am

rubyfoo

how old is your dad, champ?

5:09 am

MollyL

(((((Ruby)))))

5:09 am

rubyfoo

5:10 am

ChampFit

Dad passed last year, he was 84. But he had a rare autoimmune disease.

5:10 am

Brookie

((molly)) ((ruby)) ((champ)) :-)

5:10 am

MollyL

Prayers out for you and your husband Ruby.

5:10 am

rubyfoo

5:11 am

MollyL

5:11 am

Brookie

Trying to spread the cheer.

5:11 am

rubyfoo

thank you, molly, need all the prayers we can amass (ruru pun....lol)

5:11 am

ChampFit

Yes! Brook continues her roll! Morning Molly.

5:11 am

Brookie

Official morning to Molly too.

5:11 am

ChampFit

I need to get out the door...will bbl. Take care all!

5:11 am

rubyfoo

bye champ, see you later

5:11 am

Brookie

Bye Champ!

5:12 am

rubyfoo

this may be a tiny grid but it's hard!

5:13 am

Brookie

I'd love to get to halfway through the grid before 6:30 a.m., which is when I need to start getting ready for work.

5:13 am

Soodle

Hi people :-) Rubes, sorry to hear theres no improvement :-(. Brookie, any chance I could rub off you, to share the good-luck roll?, and Moll - yet another classic joke! Many thanks!!

5:13 am

Brookie

It's official... chog is not a word.

5:14 am

Brookie

Hi Soodle! I think I owe you lots of money anyway, so how about if we barter good luck instead?

5:14 am

MollyL

Morning Soodle. I'm getting those jokes from a friend of my niece, who lives on the auld sod with you.

5:15 am

Soodle

Yay Brookie!!!! And with your good luck, I will win the lottery, and your debts (to me) will be written off!

5:15 am

rubyfoo

{{soodle}} thank you but could you send me molly's joke, I could use a laugh (or even a small smil!) Saw the "dog lawyer" this AM, alone, natch, a the reason for the delay is that the judge hasn't signed the papers!

5:17 am

Soodle

Three men married wives from different countries.

The first man married a woman from China .
He told her that she was to do their dishes and house cleaning. It
took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a
clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Italy .
He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes
and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next
day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was
clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Ireland .
He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed,
laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal.
The first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see
anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and
he could see a little out of his left eye and his arm was healed enough
that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.............

Donâ€™t mess with Irish women!!!!!!!

mom your icon pic just brought tears to my eyes

8:23 am

Scrabbler

The flu shot has KILLED, INACTIVATED virus so you cannot catch flu from the shot. And flu virus does not cause gastroenteritis. Some person shared a nasty GI virus with you, monkey.

8:23 am

Mom

8:26 am

lil*monkey

I looked at a short sale on Weds. Love it. Put in a semi lowball offer, expecting the bank to bargain around with me. They accepted it and it went under contract and my home loan approved, all within about 20 hours.

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

So I feel lucky surprised and a little stressed.

2:48 pm

stidgmere

Oh my gosh. What an amazing turn of events for you as a house buyer!

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

it is very strange. I still need to have home inspections, and such.

2:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

WOW!

2:49 pm

stidgmere

Will you continue with the purchase or do you want to reconsider?

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

but the home is in very good condition, and really the right size for me. and in a great very secure neighbourhood.

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

No no I want the place.

2:49 pm

bichon

clue for the ty 6/7? please

2:50 pm

stidgmere

Well, good for you. Do you need help moving, painting, gardening? It's about time for a working vacation for me.

2:50 pm

spanner

clue for the j please?

2:51 pm

stidgmere

ty has to do with the covering in the ear or on very large drums. Both ty 6 and 7 play off of each other. The last ty is a typing error.

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

LOL, there is almost no garden, thank goodness, the exterior is taken care of entirely by the HOA, and I hope the Fire Dept guys I work with will move me, but...it does have a spare Bedroom, so just feel free to visit!!!

2:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

omg there is a j word?

2:51 pm

bichon

j + one name for grandmother

2:51 pm

spanner

Yup!

2:51 pm

stidgmere

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

J plus you grandma, rhymes with a yellow fruit.

2:51 pm

bichon

2:51 pm

spanner

Ty sooo much!

2:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

what the hellis THAT? :/

2:52 pm

redturtlehead

apparently it is some sort of word for a type of meditation?

2:52 pm

stidgmere

Well, sounds like an ideal home for you. We will wait to visit then until you are settled and filled the extra bedroom with all of the things you don't want to unpack now. We'll stay in a hotel.

2:52 pm

stidgmere

yw y'all.

2:53 pm

stidgmere

Who has time to meditate? You're buying a house. This is no time for stress-free living!

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

red, twas only yesterday it seems, you were a globetrotting nomad...

2:53 pm

redturtlehead

No way! I have a garage to put junk into now! One goal I have is to have my sisters family visit and enjoy Disney before the boys get too old to find it fun.

2:54 pm

redturtlehead

I know, but I LOVE Florida. I have not left for 3 years. The housing market for someone like me is a bit too attractive.

2:54 pm

stidgmere

TO, shall we plan to perch close to redturtle head's new dwelling?

2:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'm sure it is. good time to come get a retirement home

2:55 pm

stidgmere

Best luck to all you settlers. Poofing off to check laundry.

2:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye stidge

2:55 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, One thing I like about this home is that it has things like a stand alone shower, no tub to climb into, and a garden tub...so when I get very old...and can not climb, I will be able to clean myself.

2:57 pm

redturtlehead

How is all the snow?

2:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, it's fine. we - not so much.

3:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

no.

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

You might want to get one. my parents dont pay this guy. he helps them invest and makes his fee from that. So far, he has saved them several times...my parents retired early and then in 2008 or so when the stock market went bad again, he really helped keep them afloat.

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

Heck he might even take clients in your area. My parents live about 2.5 hrs from Philly.

3:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty red

3:17 pm

redturtlehead

I also need to get one. But if you want my parents guys name, I can get it. I dont know it off hand. I am just so afraid to trust anyone with my money!

3:17 pm

redturtlehead

I am sorryyour day off is horrid. Can you have a nice dinner to make up for it?

3:18 pm

I must run. Best wishes with the pension.

Kaplan the Magne

Art and crime.

4:51 pm

lil*monkey

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Actually, crime does pay.

4:52 pm

MollyL

I was gonna say Kap.

4:52 pm

stidmama

for incendiaries, doren, i have been dropping in for hours.

4:52 pm

Dorens

lil*monkey

This grid was stinky!

4:56 pm

stidmama

stidmama

and then I did have to ask for the o word, too.

4:58 pm

lil*monkey

ch7 is a singer named Tracy... "You got a fast car"

4:59 pm

stidmama

It seems like the "think system" from the Music Man, only for attaining spiritual heights

4:59 pm

lil*monkey

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I figured it had that ending but I was off by a vowel

8:13 pm

Pinikula

8:13 pm

dianedecoder

hahaha.... well I think the snow has finally stopped back home

8:13 pm

Pinikula

well, at least what is sun with heat? we get the sun, but not the heat

8:14 pm

Pinikula

rather odd here that it's still cold, but we've not had any snow on the ground here in the valley (just up at my dau's place in the hills)

8:15 pm

LeslieAnn

pondering what on earth that j could be...

8:15 pm

dianedecoder

I've got my laptop set to show temps in F ... it got to 70 today I think and I sat outside and read my book... got a little sunburn !

dianedecoder

It does cool off here at night... was frost delay at the golf course on Saturday, but it sure warms up nicely.

8:21 pm

Pinikula

I just wish the temp would make up it's mind...

8:21 pm

rururocks

why would frost delay golf?

8:21 pm

dianedecoder

if there is frost on the greens, it can damage the grass when people walk on them

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

ty diane for the jn!

8:23 pm

dianedecoder

yw bugsaw.... Pini and I gave identical clues :-)

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

I was distracted and did not follow the chog for a while there

8:24 pm

dianedecoder

Bugsaw

HI PINI!! waving and blowing kisses

8:25 pm

Bugsaw

8:25 pm

Pinikula

* giggle * thx bugs! :)

8:26 pm

dianedecoder

I was just reading your profile, bugsaw... re: your position in the school system. I just got a picture today of one of my great nephews in Victoria.... a boy with autism, and graduating SO proudly this year !!

8:27 pm

dianedecoder

I thought you were in Victoria, Bugsaw..... my mistake.

8:28 pm

Bugsaw

I used to live there until 1992 Diane. I go back to visit my kids and grandkids there.

8:29 pm

Bugsaw

I bet you are all proud of your great nephew. School is hard for kids like him but they learn so much more than just academics

8:29 pm

LeslieAnn

i would like to officially protest chog not being accepted.

8:29 pm

dianedecoder

okay.... I just know we had a little discussion re: the Anglican church situation there... Maybe I have the wrong Babble friend .

8:29 pm

Bugsaw

Once you and I did have a chat about the crazy Anglicans in Victoria. As I say, I go there a lot

8:30 pm

He is a wonderful boy and has had incredible teachers through all his school years '

Jillyjill

Hey there MInv! You holding up in the snow?

9:26 pm

Pinikula

hi min ;)

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Okay I guess. The commute has been a killer.Took me 3 hours to get to work one day&2 hours to get home another day. Today, I had to turn around and go ten miles out my way because of an accident.Snow sucks!

9:27 pm

Minveryork

Hello Pinikula! How are you doing? Did you finish grid?

9:27 pm

Pinikula

9:27 pm

Minveryork

And now they are tracking 2 more storms that might come this way. We may get another storm next week

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

hi dawg!

9:29 pm

Minveryork

The story yesterday was about my hatred of Winter.

9:29 pm

crosshair

we got another 4 inches just tonight and our problem is dealing with citiots who do no think they need to slow down because they are diving a fancy suv

9:30 pm

Minveryork

Oh Yes,LOTS of accidents around here the past week

9:31 pm

lbdawger

i always get a chuckle passing all the suv's in the ditch. idiots!

9:32 pm

crosshair

yes..i am from the city..your rules do not apply to me..i am driving a big hummer suv..watch as i drive past our at 140 kmph and blind our with snow slop only to end up in the ditch 1 mile down the road

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...they think the rig can allow them to drive like dry pavement!

9:33 pm

stidmama

they think that, because they have $ they are smarter (and better) -- the SUV as a status symbol is dangerous.

9:34 pm

crosshair

personnay i thing with the hummer..they are compensating...lol

9:34 pm

stidmama

When I get my first real job teaching, I intend to purchase a BIG truck. with 4WD so I can haul manure and garden materials and logs and stuff. AND get to and from work in this rural area in the worst weather

9:35 pm

stidmama

well, with hummers, you think they must have LOTS to compensate for, eh?

9:35 pm

lbdawger

i love my jeep, it gets me where i need to be, and 4wd is a god send

9:35 pm

stidmama

an old truck, so I can paint it quirkily like my sentra used to be

9:35 pm

stidmama

hey all...

9:35 pm

crosshair

crossy loves jeeps

9:35 pm

lbdawger

(((Stiddy)))

9:35 pm

Jillyjill

I think they should place special taxes on hummers!

9:36 pm

crosshair

((stiddles))

9:36 pm

stidmama

there is a way-cool (as in open-top-chilly) jeep for sale at the used car lot by the highway... a very pretty blue color

9:38 pm

lbdawger

not sure that would be a good vehicle for our kind of weather, stiddy

9:38 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:38 pm

stidmama

hey LBD. I am sick today, so stayed home. And unlike my hopes, got NOTHING done ahead for next week. *sigh*

9:38 pm

stidmama

hey Min! at least I didn't drive in snow today!

9:39 pm

crosshair

we get jeep freaks driving their soft top machines with the top down in winter whilst wearing ski goggles;)

9:39 pm

lbdawger

you needed the rest, stiddy. you'll get ahead

9:39 pm

stidmama

oh dear... they probably drive hummers in the summers. *wicked mama grin*

9:40 pm

bekki

I'm getting a headache trying to find the jn

9:40 pm

crosshair

jn+ a womans name

9:40 pm

stidmama

I think that's true, LBD. I wish I could buy a hummer-equivalent jacket or pair of shoes to compensate for teacher-anxiety!

9:40 pm

stidmama

hey bekki!

9:41 pm

lbdawger

hi bekki

9:41 pm

bekki

thank you

9:41 pm

stidmama

9:41 pm

bekki

Hi everyone

9:42 pm

stidmama

*wonders if LBD's icon is what the cartoonist drew after watching her get the mail...*

9:42 pm

lbdawger

ah, retail therapy

9:42 pm

stidmama

I prefer physical shopping, but I think in a pinch this might work!

9:43 pm

lbdawger

lol, i have enough padding to slide down a major hill!

9:44 pm

stidmama

me too, Tom says I need to lay off the candies... *sigh* I think there's time enough for that next month!

9:44 pm

lbdawger

i need to use the wii more than once a week.

9:45 pm

stidmama

I want to get wii fit, now that my hip would let me use it. But the wii needs some kind of refurbishing.

9:45 pm

stidmama

and to be honest with all the clutter from my studies, there isn't room in the house to swing a nunchuck

9:46 pm

lbdawger

i haven't tried the wii fit. we have one, but...

9:46 pm

mcurlschool

hey stid! microsoft website has a place where you can arrange to send the wii in for repair. my daughter just did that for Jordan

9:46 pm

stidmama

I think I am going to head out.

9:46 pm

stidmama

oh! hey mcurl!

9:47 pm

mcurlschool

hope things are going well with you

9:47 pm

lbdawger

yeah, me too. gotta go to work tomorrow. hi mccurl

9:47 pm

stidmama

yes, tom says they have a facility in renton I think - turnaround should be quick

9:47 pm

mcurlschool

hi lbd

9:48 pm

stidmama

not horrible at the moment mcurl, but i have to stop being honest I think... people don't actually want to hear when situations are not optimal

9:48 pm

stidmama

(thinking about my school faculty, not babblers)

9:48 pm

mcurlschool

I think carmon got there's back within a couple weeks, it was a surprise for jordan. they told her santa found it was broken when he came christmas eve and fixed it

9:49 pm

stidmama

that is sweet. I'll sit on tom tomorrow so he can send it off.

9:49 pm

mcurlschool

oh hey, I haven't been optimal for a while.....my student caused me to hurt my knee; superintendent decided he wanted a bigger office and move my print shop to a condemned building

9:49 pm

stidmama

how are you mcurl? all the grands okay?

9:49 pm

mcurlschool

fun, fun, fun LOL

9:49 pm

stidmama

oh no! on both counts -- it's not actually legal to do that last one is it?

9:50 pm

stidmama

didn't you just get that print shop floor cleaned a few months ago?

9:50 pm

mcurlschool

I'm hanging in there, grand babies are all great. and no it's not legal but have to prove it was condemned and then if I file a grievance I'm afraid they'll close it and i'm out a job

9:50 pm

mcurlschool

why yes!

9:51 pm

stidmama

that would be retaliation if they do that, mcurl...

9:52 pm

mcurlschool

i know but proving it with all the budget cuts they have to make; it's easy to say it was done to save money...

9:52 pm

stidmama

at least the grands are okay. that's important.

9:52 pm

mcurlschool

miss jordan is working on a project for school about "fairy penquins" AKA blue penguins. Googled it, they are quite fascinating

9:53 pm

stidmama

hm. sounds fun!

9:53 pm

mcurlschool

baby paige has just started rolling over and momma says she doesn't like being on her tummy but hasn't figured out how to get back onto her back!

9:53 pm

stidmama

"eudyptula minor" even a fun name!

9:54 pm

stidmama

oh! they make the funniest faces when that happens. She'll get there soon enough.

9:54 pm

lbdawger

she'll be crawling in no time and there will be no stopping her

9:54 pm

mcurlschool

I know; was hoping to see her this weekend as we are going to UW for the women's basketball game sunday but may not have time.

9:55 pm

stidmama

oh I hope it works out so you can.

9:55 pm

mcurlschool

Her momma says she doesn't think there will be any crawling straight to walking!

9:56 pm

Magyk

evening babblish friends

9:56 pm

lbdawger

yeah, my grand daughter didn't do the crawling for long. wanted to do everything her brother was doing and crawling wasn't getting her there.

9:56 pm

mcurlschool

don't know if I mentioned....son in law got a job with the National Weather Service

9:56 pm

lbdawger

cool

9:57 pm

lbdawger

wish i could stay, but the pillows are calling. see you all tomorrow.

9:57 pm

stidmama

that is excellent news, mcurl -- not sure about skipping crawling, but jobs always good!

9:57 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams LBD

9:57 pm

mcurlschool

he's the one the AF discharged 2 years from retirement with no medical disability because they discovered he had developed asthma

9:57 pm

Jillyjill

clue for the ma6/33 please?

9:57 pm

mcurlschool

It's in Hilo Hawaii

9:57 pm

Jillyjill

Niters dawg!

9:57 pm

stidmama

oh -- that's not so good... although maybe it means some nice vacations?

9:58 pm

mcurlschool

well, the girls are staying here because Carmon just sunk a chunk of money into opening her own hair salon.

10:00 pm

Magyk

bye babblish friends

10:00 pm

stidmama

later magyk ((hugs))

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

evening all

10:00 pm

stidmama

hey jes!

10:00 pm

Jillyjill

clue for the ma6/33 please?

10:00 pm

stidmama

well, that's going to make it rough, but it'll work out, I am sure.

10:01 pm

mcurlschool

yep

10:01 pm

stidmama

5th month + *** shaughnessy from the red green show

10:01 pm

Minveryork

ma6/33 is a spring month plus per***s you might need another clue Jillyjill.

10:02 pm

Jillyjill

*thinking*

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

ahhhhh...got it ty minv

10:04 pm

Minveryork

yw

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

how's everyone?

10:09 pm

stidmama

I hab a code id by hed.... *sneeze*

10:10 pm

stidmama

hope you are feeling better than I am!

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

heh. yeah, i am currently not ill. i hope you feel better soon!

10:11 pm

stidmama

I will -- tom's on the mend after about 6 days. :-D I think he was milking it a bit...

10:11 pm

stidmama

he really doesn't do well when he is congested.

10:12 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

10:12 pm

stidmama

how's the critter business?

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

he wouldn't do such a a thing, surely?

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

not too bad, still looking for a home for Holly though.

10:14 pm

stidmama

she's beautiful. if I had a fence I would offer a home, but I don't. and no money to build one. *sigh*

10:14 pm

stidmama

also, I have recently realized that tom really isn't a "dog person" -- he's more of a "cat person"

10:15 pm

stidmama

I, of course, am highly allergic to many cats (though not most, we can't predict which ones) so can't try that route

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

she doesn't need a fence; won't leave the yard anyway :)

10:15 pm

stidmama

so I think our Lucky might be our last critter companion. *sad sad sad mama look*

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

you could look for a rex or a sphynx

10:15 pm

stidmama

I can't risk it -- breathing is somewhat important to me.

10:16 pm

stidmama

I like cats... but. *sigh* I think I will compensate by eventually having a really amazing yard.

10:17 pm

stidmama

meantime, we have several more years with Lucky hope, and a bird and a turtle that I don't know what we'll do with when the kids leave home.

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, the sphynx and rexes are supposed to be hypoallergenic though

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

what kind of bird?

10:18 pm

stidmama

budgie.

10:18 pm

stidmama

doesn't talk, but has a lovely singing voice at times.

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

they're pretty cute, budgies are

10:19 pm

stidmama

the stidkid actually wanted an owl... LOL so we compromised with something that if it escaped in the house wouldn't knock things over.

10:19 pm

stidmama

yep. bleu is a sweet bird. bloodthirsty, but sweet.

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

owls are pretty high maintenance

10:19 pm

stidmama

not well trained, I am afraid. I went back to school about the time we got the bird so no regular training happened.

10:20 pm

stidmama

high maintenance, expensive, and longer-living.

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

also requires lots of special permits to keep them

10:21 pm

stidmama

I love the macaws and such but they live so very long and get so attached to their people. I think it's cruel to have the bigger, smarter, longer-lived birds.

10:22 pm

stidmama

what is your dream critter, jes?

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

unless you can take them everywhere with you and actually be a social life for them, or give them a big flight area with several other birds, yeah. i don't think people do them many favors keeping them most of the time.

10:23 pm

jesdraggon

my dream critter? i have no idea. the horse from A Horse and His Boy, perhaps?

10:23 pm

jesdraggon

I'm not really lacking for critters!

10:24 pm

stidmama

I like dogs... big dogs. labs are about as small as I really enjoy, though I admit to liking almost any dog I run across. LOL

10:24 pm

stidmama

Or a dragon... *wicked mama grin*

10:24 pm

stidmama

can I assume you don't need any clues today jes?

10:24 pm

jesdraggon

hah. i've got 42 left... you'd be cluing a long time! :D

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

a dragon...while really cool, sounds like a maintenance nightmare!

10:25 pm

stidmama

probably, though it wasn't a terribly grueling grid today there were some oddities

10:25 pm

stidmama

yes, but I think the neighbors wouldn't dare complain!

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

hah! true, true

10:26 pm

stidmama

also, I wouldn't have to worry about the cougar I saw a month ago if I had a dragon. I do worry a little about Lucky when he goes on his solo forays...

10:27 pm

stidmama

with Buffy, I worried when the eagles were overhead. She was only about 14 lbs. thought she was a lot bigger, of course.

10:28 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; i see cats periodically with owl or hawk talon punctures

10:29 pm

stidmama

My favorite memory of Buffy was the time about 6 months after we got Lucky. She took hold of one end of a tug toy, and he took the other end. Then he walked off, with her dangling along!

10:29 pm

Pinikula

hi all..

10:29 pm

Jillyjill

Clue for go6/24 please?

10:30 pm

Jillyjill

hi pini

10:30 pm

Pinikula

10:30 pm

Pinikula

go + girl's name

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

pictures, stid! i demand them

10:30 pm

stidmama

hi pini ((hugs)) you okay?

10:30 pm

stidmama

hold on jes

10:30 pm

Jillyjill

ty

10:30 pm

Pinikula

My dau is putting up Koda's cousins for adoption :(

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

hi pini :)

10:31 pm

Pinikula

I'm ok...just a little sad about it

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

why, pini?

10:31 pm

stidmama

here's an old post, when I still had an "office" to sit in. http://www.stidmama.com/?p=245 it shows buffy

10:32 pm

Pinikula

because she's afraid my gson might unknowingly startle them to the point of being nipped...there's already been some signs...

10:32 pm

jesdraggon

I meant of Lucky carrying her by the chew toy :D

10:32 pm

Pinikula

...like when he touches them while they're sleeping kinda thing.

10:32 pm

Jillyjill

Lord, hate to ask for a 4 letter...the first na 4/4...the one before grandma

10:32 pm

Pinikula

na4 = indian bread

10:32 pm

jesdraggon

ah. yeah, kids and dogs can be a touchy mix

10:33 pm

stidmama

and a really nice one of Lucky back before the ground critter ate all my tulips

10:33 pm

Jillyjill

ahhh...ty

10:34 pm

stidmama

oh, I wish I had taken pics of that, jes! LOL there just wasn't time

10:34 pm

stidmama

pini, has your daughter talked to a vet about this? someone who can offer solid behavioral advice?

10:34 pm

gapeach

Evening all. May I please have a clue for jn5-20? Thanks

10:35 pm

Pinikula

jn5 = j + grandma's nickname

10:35 pm

jesdraggon

hi, ga

10:35 pm

stidmama

hey peach

10:35 pm

gapeach

Hi there, jesdraggon.

10:35 pm

gapeach

Howdy, stidmama.

10:35 pm

jesdraggon

that is a weird, weird word. thanks, pini

10:36 pm

Pinikula

Yes, stid, the vet knows about the 'startling'...we think it stems from the way they were treated before we got them (when they were littel)

10:36 pm

Pinikula

* little

10:36 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Pini.

10:36 pm

jesdraggon

how old is the gson?

10:36 pm

stidmama

ah yes -- I understand. I watch Lucky very carefully around strangers for the same reason.

10:37 pm

Pinikula

16 months...and very mobile now...

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

and a bit young to understand why he can't pet the dog when it's sleeping

10:37 pm

Pinikula

right, jes

10:38 pm

Jillyjill

okay, last word for fw...clue for th5/22?

10:38 pm

Pinikula

that's what's frustrating us adults...sadly, if one party has to go, it must be the pets; can't very well get rid of the gson :/

10:38 pm

stidmama

no way to just keep him away from the dogs when they are sleeping or unsupervised?

10:38 pm

Pinikula

th5 = more th** one + vowel

10:39 pm

stidmama

I learned today that th 5 is the person who owns the serf!

10:39 pm

Pinikula

not really, stid...they're inside space is too small and doesn't provide for sectioning off...

10:39 pm

jesdraggon

unless they give him to you :)

10:39 pm

Jillyjill

have the 12, not the 22

10:40 pm

Pinikula

Trust me, jes, I've thought about it...but, well, I have Koda...not sure I could handle THREE!

10:40 pm

Jillyjill

the one after what happens in the spring

10:40 pm

jesdraggon

i meant take the kid, but that works too :)

10:40 pm

Pinikula

th5 = th* kingdom come + me, **self, I

10:41 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I'd take Camo Boy in a heartbeat, but not sure they'd agree to that

10:41 pm

stidmama

LOL pini!

10:41 pm

jesdraggon

thanks for the th5

10:41 pm

jesdraggon

silly parents

10:42 pm

Jillyjill

fw, ty pini!

10:42 pm

Pinikula

yvw jilly

10:42 pm

stidmama

okay, need a break ((((Hugs all)))) see you again soon! *poof*

10:43 pm

jesdraggon

hugs, stiddy

10:43 pm

Pinikula

speaking of Koda, I think I need a little "cuddle"...back in a bit...

10:43 pm

Jillyjill

see you later stiddy

10:44 pm

gapeach

op4-6 please.....thanks

10:44 pm

Pinikula

PS: here's the link so you can see Koda's cousins' search for a new forever home :/

10:45 pm

Pinikula

op4/6 = greek exclamation

10:45 pm

Pinikula

* now to get Koda * ... back shortly

10:45 pm

Pinikula

10:46 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Pini, still looking.

10:47 pm

jesdraggon

they're cute, pini

10:48 pm

Pinikula

thx jes

10:49 pm

Jillyjill

really cuties...must be hard to adopt them out. Glad you put a fee to make sure they get a good home

10:49 pm

Pinikula

thx Jilly...

10:50 pm

Pinikula

...she's already had a call to take one of them, but we're hoping we can keep them together...

10:50 pm

jesdraggon

might look for a breed specific rescue?

10:51 pm

Pinikula

We have this strong belief it will help keep any potential aggression to a minimum if they stay together...

10:51 pm

Jillyjill

Well, probably should pay attention to hubby. ttfn, may be back for flip...it's FRIDAY NITE!!

10:51 pm

Pinikula

I'll let her know, jes...didn't think of that.

10:51 pm

Pinikula

have fun, jilly

10:51 pm

jesdraggon

have fun, jilly

10:51 pm

Pinikula

...are we thinking in the right direction, jes?

10:51 pm

gapeach

brb

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

that it's better to start looking before you end up with a nasty situation and a dog bite? yeah

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

tough decision, but...safer for the dogs and the kid

10:52 pm

Pinikula

well, that and about the thought of keeping them together?

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

either that or the dogs have to be outside away from the kid full time until he's old enough to understand

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

can't see any harm in wanting them together, unless they are defensive of each other. but it will make it harder to find a home

10:54 pm

Pinikula

no, they do very well together and keep each other company...

10:54 pm

Pinikula

...thought it would be less traumatic for them (and us)

10:54 pm

Pinikula

if we keep them together.

10:55 pm

jesdraggon

probably

10:56 pm

Pinikula

* sigh * it's still leaves us a little melancholy (sp)...

10:56 pm

Pinikula

..speaking of...phone call...

10:56 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, it's not an easy thing

10:59 pm

jesdraggon

ty 6 and 7?

11:04 pm

jesdraggon

please? my last words

11:05 pm

jesdraggon

nm. i found 'em :)

11:06 pm

jesdraggon

and now, i'm off. hope you find a great home for the pups, pini.

11:12 pm

Pinikula

wtg jes (and thx)

11:18 pm

kje

what kind of pups?

11:18 pm

Pinikula

beagles

11:18 pm

kje

fun

11:18 pm

Pinikula

2 3yo males

11:19 pm

Brookie

Hi Pinikula and kje!

11:19 pm

kje

hello

11:19 pm

Pinikula

hi boo and kje ;)

11:20 pm

Brookie

Never been called "boo" before, but I like it. :-)

11:20 pm

Pinikula

oops...meant brookie :) *honest*

11:20 pm

Pinikula

* scrambling for glasses *

11:22 pm

Brookie

Seriously, I think it's cute. If it makes you feel any better, I once misspelled one of our fellow babbler's names into a really crude acronym. Was I embarrassed!

11:22 pm

Jacula

is Pini looking for receptacles for drinks or trying to find her specs?

11:22 pm

Brookie

Hi Jacula!

11:22 pm

Pinikula

oops, brookie...

11:22 pm

Pinikula

specs, jac; since I apparently can't read again tonight

11:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Brookie. Most of the rude words in Babble grids have been shouted in capitals in the blog, quite accidentally most of the time. You can imagine, 'male chicken', female parts that rhyme with 'hunt', etc., etc.

11:24 pm

Brookie

Speaking of specs, I need some to find the remaining 33 words that elude me.

11:24 pm

Jacula

I can clue, Brookie.

11:24 pm

Pinikula

here to help if needed, brookie

11:25 pm

Brookie

That's true about the grid. Let's see about cluing... I'm not looking at the list... How about clues for either of the "g" words?

11:26 pm

Pinikula

go + pale (go5)

11:26 pm

Jacula

go6/24 = big lizard that rhymes with Harry Potter author's first name.

11:26 pm

Brookie

Thank you!

11:26 pm

Pinikula

go6 = go + girl's name

11:27 pm

Jacula

That's your 'g' words done the, Brookie.

11:27 pm

Brookie

Just learned that "gohanna" is not a word and is 7 letters. :-(

11:27 pm

Brookie

Nm, just figured it out...

11:27 pm

Brookie

Thansk!

11:27 pm

Brookie

Thanks, that is!

11:28 pm

Brookie

One more, if you don't mind... the "f" word. :-)

11:28 pm

Pinikula

fa4 rhymes with th5

11:28 pm

Jacula

fa4/7 - fa* of a group + a vowel.

11:29 pm

Jacula

It's really a poetic word for a temple.

11:29 pm

Brookie

Gotcha, thanks again!

11:30 pm

Jacula

Brookie - have you got another funny speech ready for 2011 awards?

11:32 pm

Brookie

Thanks for asking. The next humorous speech contest isn't until the Fall. This Spring, however, is the big International Speech Contest. That's when most Toastmasters come out of the woodworks and present their serious/inspirational speeches. There are 30,000 contestants. I'll give it a shot, although it will be a challenge. It's a lot easier for me to write humor than something serious. It'll be a learning experience for me.

11:32 pm

Jacula

I think that 'cute' means something different in UK to what it means in USA. I had a couple of USA people telling me your last speech was 'cute' after I put it up. I took great exception to that, since 'cute' in UK is kind of dismissive and 'little womanish'.

11:34 pm

Brookie

"Cute" is a compliment here, although some men don't like to be called "cute." That's really interesting. I'll be sure to avoid that word when talking to folks in the UK!

11:34 pm

Jacula

I'll look forward to getting the link to your next speech, Brookie, wether humorous or serious.

11:35 pm

Jacula

Brookie - I may have bridled unneccesarily on your behalf then. I just saw it as belittling what you had done.

11:35 pm

Brookie

Thanks so much. I told myself I'd start writing it in February, so I have enough time to get feedback from others before the first round of competition (which isn't until April or May).

11:35 pm

Brookie

Well, I appreciate all bridling, whether necessary or not. :-)

11:35 pm

Brookie

How are you doing, by the way?

11:36 pm

Jacula

You not only delivered it perfectly, your body language was right, too. And the bit on the table was hilarious.

11:36 pm

Jacula

I'm doing okay, thanks.

11:37 pm

Brookie

I will say, there is so much about that speech that was true (not the syringes, though). My tri-athlete friend really did try to make me do those exercises.

11:37 pm

Brookie

Anything new in Jacula's world?

11:38 pm

Jacula

LOL - and, no, I never thought the children playing with syringes part was real.

11:38 pm

Jacula

You'd have to read my blog to know that, Brookie, unless you've been reading the Babble chog religiously.

11:40 pm

Jacula

Those exercises are actually possible, you know, Brookie - if you're about 20 and have never given birth.

11:40 pm

Brookie

Sorry, no, I've been on and off the chog. Nice family photo!

11:41 pm

Jacula

Ex-family photo, sort of and squashed on here. That's me, my 2 kid and my Ex-Hub.

11:41 pm

Brookie

My tri-athlete friend is 41, but I'm pretty sure *he's* never given birth. :-) Actually, my older son can do that exercise and doesn't hesitate to show me regularly.

11:42 pm

Jacula

There you go then - neither has had their body traumatised like a woman has.

11:43 pm

Jacula

It takes a woman's body 12 months to recover from pregnancy an childbirth, left to nature.

11:43 pm

Brookie

Still a nice photo, even with the "ex".

11:44 pm

Brookie

Yes, 12 months sounds about right. Though I still have a little "belly" that I didn't have before, that won't seem to go away despite my best attempts.

11:44 pm

Jacula

Yes, it is a nice pic. The only one I have of the 4 of us together as a family. Got lots of me and the kids, but one with Dad in done by a professional snapper is a first.

11:45 pm

Brookie

How old are your children?

11:46 pm

Jacula

Well, don't have another child within 3 years of the first, or your body might be doomed like mine was. Seriously, I probably could have sorted it out, but divorce came etc.

11:47 pm

Jacula

My kids are son, born 1984 - 29 this year, I think? And daughter born 1987.

11:47 pm

Brookie

My youngest son is turning 3 next month, but I don't plan on getting pregnant any time soon... would be a bit stressful being single and all!

11:47 pm

Jacula

Also got a stepdaughter who was 16 in Dec. 2010.

11:48 pm

Brookie

It must be wonderful to see your children grow up into adults. I wonder what mine will be like when they're older.

11:49 pm

Jacula

They wil be a credit to you, Brookie, just like mine are. They won't always do what you want them to do all of the time, but it doesn't matter in the end.

11:50 pm

Brookie

As long as they're happy and healthy, right?

11:50 pm

Jacula

I'd like my son to kickstart his life by getting a proper job, I'd like my daughter not to keep having piercings and tattoes, but they still my kids.

11:51 pm

Brookie

Sounds reasonable!

11:51 pm

Brookie

ap5 is the thing that stop you breathing in the night, probably when you've been snoring.

11:54 pm

Brookie

Usually I'm not up at this hour, flosey. I know I've seen you on the chog, but I couldn't tell you when. Sometimes I'm lurking, to be honest.

hi brookie

11:58 pm

Jacula

I'm only here through sleep pattern problems. The menopause brought me either not able to sleep, too tired to bother to do anything, or going to bed a a normal time but waking up on the hour, every hour, with a hot flush.

11:58 pm

MLFAN17

thank you

11:58 pm

11:59 pm

Jillyjill

I did find a magnesium drink "Calm" that does help me sleep. Don't know if they have it over there jac

11:59 pm

Jacula

Oh, I forgot the Hindu meditation jn word. I should have thought to mention it before.

12:00 am

Jacula

JillyJ - I've tried everything.
