1:49 am

flosey

ah

1:50 am

jillibus

thought this icon was cute

1:50 am

flosey

couldn't find a really appropriate icon but chose this one because of the broken chain

flosey

yes, I like yours

flosey

flosey

I watched a Valentine movie with Betty White

1:54 am

jillibus

All done by 10:05

1:57 am

flosey

1:58 am

jillibus

I'm glad to be away from the freezing cold and the dreadful loos with only cold water

1:58 am

flosey

yes, that place was not nice at all

1:59 am

flosey

someone from the church told me that room is always nice and warm when they're there ! guess they turn the heat on the night before

herinfernallady

Ruby I just haven't felt like chatting

3:15 am

rubyfoo

4:38 am

Kazzer99

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Hi

Kazzer99

Hi Kazzer. Just on briefly while I drink my coffee.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

HI Sally

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

Hi herin. Not been on lately. You OK?

4:44 am

Kazzer99

hi Sally - i am on leave this week to do the spring cleaning and as i had to go on line to pay some bills i thought i'd have a little go

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

:-) Kazzer

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

I have been just a bit poorly for the last couple of months and not done anything, not paid a bill! Have been spending the last three days catching up.

4:46 am

Kazzer99

well - you've got when you get the chance and its quite a little one today again

4:46 am

Kazzer99

whats been the problem

4:46 am

herinfernallady

O Sally not good

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

If there is such a thing, it has been described to me as a low level flu. Not really what I would call flu, but just a bit ill. Now that I feel better I realise how ill I felt! Didn't even want to play Babble, so that shows how bad it was :-)

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

Anyway I'm fine now and there are plenty of people worse off. I don't often get things so perhaps don't get them as badly as some people.

4:49 am

herinfernallady

Take Care Sally

4:49 am

LoriP

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

How's work herin?

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

I picked up on rubyfoo's husband being in hospital, and have emailed her, but did I also gather that NB was back in hospital? Doesn't sound good if so.

4:52 am

herinfernallady

Sally on NB no idea he snobs me off when I ask. Work doesn't start till 14th

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

5:27 am

sprite

hi lil*monkey

5:28 am

lil*monkey

morning all! sprite I haven't seen you in ages! So nice to see u

5:28 am

Kazzer99

thanks - thats fireworks for me - i always spelt that with 2 oo

5:28 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lil

5:28 am

sprite

and vice versa :) I have been playing on different times.

5:28 am

lil*monkey

hi herin, kazz & anyone else in here!

5:29 am

lil*monkey

i always spelt that sk word scoach (like coach with S on the front)

5:29 am

Kazzer99

Now i must go and attacke the kitchen the living room end of the front room is passable but no i must don the mighty plastic gloves and attack the kitchen with some bleach and detemination

5:29 am

lil*monkey

good luck with that, kazz

5:30 am

Kazzer99

Good Luck one and all

5:30 am

Kazzer99

thnks - i'll need it. I hate housework - hence the need to spring clean every now and again

5:30 am

herinfernallady

Kaz bleach is bad

5:31 am

Kazzer99

it might be but it works and kills any bugs off

5:31 am

herinfernallady

So does Baking soda and Vinegar

5:31 am

Kazzer99

byeeeee - too much scrubbing

5:31 am

MollyL

I spell it skooch, like "skooch over and give me some room". At best, it's a slang term and dubious to be official here. Why is bleach bad?

5:32 am

lil*monkey

Molly this word is different... it rhymes with coach or gauche

5:32 am

sprite

hi Molly

5:33 am

MollyL

Skosh rhymes with coach???

5:33 am

MollyL

Hey Sprite, glad you're finally feeling better.

5:33 am

lil*monkey

yes, it's not the same word as "scooch over" this word rhymes with coach, it means a tiny bit more... like give me a sk5 more cream in my coffee

5:34 am

MollyL

Never heard of it.

5:34 am

herinfernallady

Help with that W please

5:34 am

MollyL

Think of a deli meat that starts with liver.

5:35 am

lil*monkey

Molly did u know you can click on the little tiny question mark (to the left of the word in the list) to find the definition & origin ???

5:35 am

herinfernallady

O frog me thank you

5:35 am

lil*monkey

ha! I didn't have it either, herin :)

5:35 am

MollyL

Yep Lil. Still doesn't help when I've never heard of the word or heard it used. Must be from another culture.

5:36 am

lil*monkey

5:36 am

herinfernallady

they are keeping him much longer than he thought; last night he said he might come home today (NO NO NO) and during the night he pulled out his IV and took off his oxygen.

8:35 am

Aloyisius

how wonderful, kje

8:36 am

kje

sounds like he is delirious

8:36 am

Aloyisius

ooh, ruby.. he is not doing himself any good with such behavior

8:36 am

that is a great time of year to be travelling in Europe, before the crowds. I hope I get to meet you, KJE

8:37 am

kje

I will try, ruby... if I go to geeva, we will def make plans to meet up

8:37 am

rubyfoo

I stayed long enough to sort out his phone, TV (sort of), and get him back on oxygen, but there's not much else I can do. He is very stubborn!

8:37 am

kje

how old, ruby?

8:37 am

crosshair

they will tie him down if he keeps pulling his iv...

thats what the portable coleman stove is for molly

4:15 pm

4:16 pm

4:17 pm

Molly - if you have a gas stove, even w/auto-light, you can use a match to light it

4:17 pm

crosshair

i miss gas/wood ranges

4:18 pm

hootowl

turning the knob starts gas flow. Probably caused a few explosions for someone who doesn't know that

4:18 pm

MollyL

Oh, I see. I have a one burner Coleman propane burner. But I don't use it inside. I heat things up out on the patio.

4:19 pm

hootowl

That's ok if not too windy

4:19 pm

So far, thank God, none of our power outages have involved wind. We have had two that lasted over 30 hours and let me tell you, that is NOT fun after a while.

hey sue just wondered how you were doing out in the far reaches?

4:29 pm

uusue2

Well, it's snowing like crazy; the university actually closed as of 3 pm so my 5:00 class won't meet (thank goodness). Went out to get milk at Walgreen's, about 1/2 mile away; roads are ok but definitely snow-covered. I tried to go to the doctor in Aurora at 1 but gave up; I-88 was not in good shape, and it was just a follow-up, nothing urgent.

4:30 pm

uusue2

They are trying to keep us off the roads, and I agree. The dog thinks it is great (black labradoodle).

4:32 pm

Good Enough

i'm only 15 minutes from work but the roads were awful. the blowing snow is what is making it so crazy.

4:33 pm

Good Enough

we were laughing bc it snowed a bit this morning and then stopped for a while. then at 3 exactly when they said the snow hit and the wind started whipping - right on cue!

4:33 pm

hootowl

Molly I had gas stoves all my life in NY- Came here 6 years ago and nothing but electric. Lousy heat control, hard to clean and very expensive to replace coils..

4:34 pm

uusue2

Yes, it's about the same here. We probably got about 3" before the main storm hit.

4:35 pm

hootowl

We had to buy ours when we moved here cause there was no stove or fridge. You have no idea how happy I was to get back to gas! Leaks don't happen if your careful and know where your turnoff is. In all my years in NY I only heard of it happening twice!

Good Enough...my teenager (middle kid) is getting her license next week, AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!

5:05 pm

Brookie

Hi everyone!

5:06 pm

ChampFit

hi!

5:07 pm

Brookie

How are you, ChampFit? I see your middle child is getting her license... congrats!

5:07 pm

ChampFit

Just in time to stop me from killing her! :)

5:07 pm

Brookie

Well, that must be a relief for HER then! :-)

5:08 pm

Brookie

I have 8 more years to go before my oldest can get his license. So we'll stay in the house for 8 more years so I don't have to drive him anywhere.

5:08 pm

ChampFit

they just start to want to hang with their friends and go places, and it does get old being the taxi driver. One more kid...5 more years...

5:09 pm

Brookie

Wow, think of all the free time you didn't have before!

5:09 pm

ChampFit

We'll see how long that lasts!

5:09 pm

ChampFit

where are you?

5:10 pm

Brookie

Delaware.

5:10 pm

ChampFit

Frozen?

5:11 pm

Brookie

Outside, definitely. It's the combination of dampness and cold that's unpleasant. Fortunately, I have free gas heat in my apartment, so it's cranked up to about 85 degrees!

5:11 pm

Brookie

What's it like in TX?

5:11 pm

ChampFit

34 but sunny. windy. allegedly getting down to 20-some tonight. Nothing to cry about, thankfully. Fireworks!

5:12 pm

Brookie

Congrats on fireworks!

5:12 pm

ChampFit

It was a bit slow going...some strange words. Not that that's unusual!

5:12 pm

Brookie

I have 26 words left and think I'll start looking at the list.

5:13 pm

ChampFit

I tried, and made it to somewhere around there. Good luck!

5:13 pm

ChampFit

Didn't have to use morewords though...that's a plus!

5:14 pm

Brookie

I've still never used morewords, though I bet it would help me out a lot!

5:15 pm

ChampFit

yeah, because sometimes you can't finish without some help. do you REALLY know all the words? You do learn!

5:15 pm

Good Enough

Hey Champ just saw your post about your offspring getting her license soon. That is a great turning point! But I won't even let my 18 yr old out driving in this crap tonite.

good to see you unofficially stopping by stidmama!

5:38 pm

5:40 pm

Glantarell

hi stidmama

5:40 pm

stidmama

oh oh... it's a cold-like virus that I am recovering from as well. I slept ALL day yesterday, made it through this morning's class and then decided to come home and rest more.

5:40 pm

stidmama

oh, I think ice is WAY worse than snow.

5:40 pm

Glantarell

well, it's nearly midnight here, so I'm off to bed!

5:44 pm

Jen

5:44 pm

nrkii

I think it is now, but only because of branding

5:45 pm

stidmama

oh! TO BULGARIA???? wow... that is going to be totally way-cool-nifty-neato. Will you keep a blog so we can track your adventures?

5:45 pm

Jen

stidmama

thanks NRK, that means I am NBT!

5:45 pm

stidmama

AND suddenly well past halfway

5:46 pm

stidmama

what an amazing, wonderful adventure you will have, Jen. I admit to feeling somewhat envious... though I am really a homebody and don't even like going to Seattle for day trips! LOL

5:46 pm

Jen

I am really bad with technology Stid (not even on facebook!), so probably no blog, but will definitely hop on here to check up on you all and update my profile

5:47 pm

stidmama

that's cool, Jen -- *wracks brain* I go to facebook rarely -- are we "friends" there?

5:48 pm

Jen

I have never gone to facebook, so probably not, LOL. I miss out on a lot of discounts from stores since I don't go and "like" them!!!

5:49 pm

stidmama

I don't do any of those things on facebook, Jen -- I completely distrust their privacy processes. Not even games any more. Just pop in to see what people are up to once or twice a week.

5:49 pm

nrkii

I'm addicted. Privacy be damned.

5:50 pm

nrkii

:)

5:50 pm

stidmama

How's your kiddo doing with the impending change in location? Or are you waiting until closer to the time to discuss it in detail?

5:50 pm

nrkii

fireworks!

5:50 pm

stidmama

LOL nrk! that's what they are counting on!

5:50 pm

stidmama

YAY nrk!

5:50 pm

Jen

amen stid! this is actually the only chat I go on too. sigh, no tweets, no likes or un-friending... I am in the stone age but I like it!

5:50 pm

Snow day tomorrow!!! First one in YEARS. Woot!

5:51 pm

stidmama

5:51 pm

stidmama

*hands a rock to Jen to help turn off TV later*

5:51 pm

nrkii

I love facebook. 3 weeks ago, I reconnected with the guy I had a mad crush on when I was 17. We've been emailing and talking on skype ever since (he's in Iraq right now). We have completely reestablished our friendship, just like that. Would not have happened without FB.

5:52 pm

stidmama

wow. That 's neat, nrk.

5:52 pm

Jen

woo hoo sue! We federal workers don't get snow days anymore (at least until we get a Pres from the south who has never dealt with snow)

5:52 pm

nrkii

and that's just one of the people I've reconnected with... there are many others

5:53 pm

stidmama

I was talking with my children the other day, and realized that with one notable exception, there is only one person with whom I am in regular contact from pre-college... and only a few from college.

5:53 pm

nrkii

also, just for picture sharing alone, it's worth it

5:53 pm

crosshair

we do not get snow days up here..unless it buries the building you are trying to get into lol

5:54 pm

stidmama

And I am not all that interested in being in contact with more! LOL

5:54 pm

nrkii

It is so easy to lose touch, stid. That's what has made Facebook so great for me. I've found people that I wish I had never lost touch with.

5:54 pm

nrkii

and yes, a few that I'm just as happy to stay out of touch with

5:54 pm

Jen

I have one high school friend I keep in touch with, and that's enough... remarkably, no college friends.... they all dropped me when I started dating my (now) hubby and found their pot smoking repulsive

5:54 pm

stidmama

*sends up message to snow angels to block the entrance to cross' building -- AFTER everyone is out and home safe!*

5:55 pm

crosshair

lol

5:55 pm

stidmama

yep. pot smoking isn't so attractive once a person reaches a certain age...

5:55 pm

nrkii

okay, speaking of old friends, time to make a phone call

5:55 pm

nrkii

have a great night everyone

5:55 pm

stidmama

okay, my eyes are tired and the lunch is making me sleepy.

5:55 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams nrk!

5:55 pm

uusue2

well, I've been at the university for 23 years, and this is maybe the second snow day ever. Conditions are pretty horrible, and a lot of our students commute significant distances.

this is how stid supposedly met me: we met when you were my high school art teacher -- supposedly the youngest high school art teacher ever -- anyway, you thought my crayon rendition of the sistine chapel was excellent, though the school board thought I should have asked permission before recreating it on the gym ceiling. ah, those were the days!

9:16 pm

9:17 pm

another favorite of mine was this: It was Vail, wasn't it? A bit of a catfight, because we were wearing the same supposedly exclusive snowbunny outfit. Didn't we just take it out of Frederico's hide when we found he'd sold the same outfit to both of us? Ha ha!

9:17 pm

we were stuck together at the airport waiting for our plane, for over THREE hours, before they finally decided to cancel the flight outright. The airline tried to place everyone in hotels, because we were going to be stuck in town overnight, but all the hotels near the airport were full because of some convention...

9:19 pm

Association of Sadistic Dental Practicioners, or something like that.

So the airline asked if some people would mind sharing rooms, and you and I ended up bunking together in the Honeymoon Suite. The Jacuzzi was quite nice, as was the company. From my perspective, anyway.

jesdraggon

9:23 pm

jesdraggon

9:23 pm

rururocks

9:23 pm

featherbee

*giggling*

9:24 pm

featherbee

doug's gonna ask why i'm laughing up here again

9:24 pm

jesdraggon

I did NOT forget that, but since I didn't have a bathing suit, I didn't feel the rest of the chog needed to know about it :P

9:24 pm

rururocks

and that she was extremely shocked when they showed up on the bill at the hotel

9:24 pm

stidmama

okay, I am stuck at 7 words, and my head is starting to ache. Will stop for a while and then go back to that blasted resume. *sigh* Don't know why I am dragging my feet... My plan is to just substitute teach for a couple years and then apply for jobs at places I want!

9:24 pm

featherbee

i thought they were complimentary!

9:24 pm

stidmama

rofl... silly silly people....

*Poof*

9:25 pm

rururocks

she put up a big fuss at the front desk and the police had to come calm her down

9:25 pm

featherbee

bye stid!

9:25 pm

lil*monkey

fr5,18 for firewoiks please

9:25 pm

jesdraggon

see ya, stid! *hugs*

9:25 pm

jesdraggon

it wasn't that bad, ruru, it was just hotel security

9:25 pm

featherbee

is it a term for a freshman?

9:25 pm

rururocks

the officer asked feather her name and she blurted out "Weed" and they looked at her funny and started asking more questions

9:26 pm

donnie828

Bless your heart rururocks, I got it you spelled it all the way now I have to figure out what it means. I think something like kosher, but will check dictionary. Thanks for helping me beat the beast.

9:26 pm

rururocks

it went downhill from there

9:26 pm

featherbee

LMAO!!! KJE, get in here!

9:26 pm

lil*monkey

yes feather.... FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!1

9:26 pm

featherbee

yay lil!

9:26 pm

rururocks

your welcome donnie

9:26 pm

rururocks

you are I mean

9:26 pm

rururocks

you are I mean

9:27 pm

jesdraggon

yay, lil monkey!

9:27 pm

rururocks

then the officers can feather a sobriety test in the hotel lobby while the sadistic dentists were watching with glee

9:27 pm

rururocks

gave

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

but she passed the test

9:28 pm

featherbee

*methinks ruru needs a sobriety test now*

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

and security was quickly distracted by the fist-fight between 2 of the dentists

9:28 pm

rururocks

LOL

9:29 pm

rururocks

surprisingly one of the fighting dentists was feather's first boyfriend from high school

9:29 pm

featherbee

thus my everlasting paranoia of dentists! aha!

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

oh, that was AWKWARD when security escorted him past and he kept yelling how much he missed her

9:30 pm

rururocks

He remembered that first kiss.. which is why he went into dentistry

9:30 pm

featherbee

hey now! LOL

9:30 pm

donnie828

Okay, so I was wrong it means just a tad bit, just a little bit, a small amout. I started playing this last year and have never, ever completed a whole puzzle. Granted there are only 70 words, but this is a winner for me.

9:30 pm

rururocks

He married someone else.. but never, ever forgot feather

9:30 pm

featherbee

did you finish the grid donnie? congrats!

9:31 pm

featherbee

i'm very memorable...

9:31 pm

jesdraggon

turned out okay in the end though, cuz the manager at the hotel had a gripe about someone at the airline anyway, so they charged the "room service" to the airline...

9:31 pm

rururocks

(weed's now trying to change the subject)

9:31 pm

donnie828

Thanks, i did featherbee

9:31 pm

featherbee

lol, i want to say goodnight and go to bed, but i don't want to leave before the story's done!

9:32 pm

rururocks

yes.. the airline didn't know it because the charge just said: C-boys

9:32 pm

rururocks

and it was Virgin Airlines on top of that

9:32 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi all

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

hi t&c

9:33 pm

featherbee

LOL, Virgin Airlines

9:33 pm

featherbee

hi tea

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

ahahahaha! I give...that tops anything i could counter with, ruru

9:33 pm

rururocks

*rests his case*

9:34 pm

featherbee

heeheehee. ok, on that note, i'm going to bed! *off to dream of cabana boys and airplanes*

9:34 pm

rururocks

I will write how you and I met Weed.. saving you from pirates in NOrth Africa sometime

9:34 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, feather :)

9:34 pm

featherbee

ooooh, i look forward to it!

9:35 pm

featherbee

bye!

9:36 pm

jesdraggon

hey, i need word suggestions! working on the webpage for the veterinary clinic, and need a tagline for under the banner.

9:37 pm

Nef

Hi Everybody! Great story jes and ruru! I feel for feather, though!

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

right now, it just says "treatment for a wide variety of animals"

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

thinking it needs to be something... caring, or compassionate maybe... treatment

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

or a whole other cute/clever tagline

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

hi nef :) oh, she enjoyed the jacuzzi too, nef, don't worry!

9:38 pm

Nef

where's your webpage, jes?

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

chewelahveterinaryclinic.com

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

really still in progress!

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

current project is getting the pictures sized and centered, so the page is changing in real time right now

9:41 pm

Nef

treatment is kind of a cold term; would "providing compassionate care for a wide variety of animals (Gods' critters?)

9:43 pm

Nef

What the heck is a "camelid?"

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

Am trying to avoid "compassionate" specifically, because our (basically only) competitor's website's tagline is "compassionate care for companion animals"

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

a camelid is any camel or relative thereof, like alpacas and llamas

9:44 pm

Nef

yeah; stay away from compassionate then

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

and i don't wanna be copycatty

9:46 pm

Nef

humane and tender?

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

everything i come up with sounds so... clinical

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

Quality

9:48 pm

Nef

humane, tender, caring treatment of a wide variety of animals

9:49 pm

Nef

(actually "for" not "of")

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

or i could go with something totally humorous... "We treat anything except primates and venomous snakes!"

9:50 pm

Nef

and then they walk in with a komodo dragon, right? ;-)

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

right. and I'd ... try... to treat it. restraint could be interesting.

9:52 pm

Nef

"ministering to all creatures except primates and venomous critters"

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

i guess it's not entirely truthful, since i will only treat large predators if the owner provides a safe place for restraing

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

restraint

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

i don't have a good facility for bears or tigers...

9:54 pm

Nef

I don't know, my sister's a vet in NW MN and some horses and cows can be pretty dangerous too! (She got brucelosis from a needle stick after drawing blood from a cow)

9:54 pm

Pinikula

'quality care for coveted creatures'

9:54 pm

Pinikula

hi all ;)

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, but i have stocks and a squeeze chute. a bear wouldn't fit though, and tiger'd go over them without much issue

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

hi pini! :)

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

i would request the owner tie the mouth shut on a komodo before i did anything with it though!

9:55 pm

Nef

the cow was spooked and crashed into her, pinning her between the barn wall and the cow.

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

ouch

9:56 pm

Nef

Hi Pini! I like that!

9:56 pm

Pinikula

oh, hey, jes...question for you (re dogs)

9:57 pm

Pinikula

thx Nef ;)

9:57 pm

Nef

and a horse once broke her jaw when it reared up on her. She keeps saying these were "nice" animals, not wild

9:57 pm

Pinikula

Koda woke me up this morning "huffing"...

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

whole turkey is probably a bit much for one meal, even for a large dog

9:58 pm

Pinikula

...and puked a couple of times, but mostly liquid, nothing solid.

9:58 pm

Pinikula

Nef, do you think your sis should change professions?

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

heh. they are nice, nef...but handling a horse is like handling a 1200 pound cat--they get tired of you or spooked, and you've gotta watch all limbs and head and stay out of the way if they run!

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

turkey jokes aside, she eat anything unusual last night? how'd she act the rest of the day?

9:59 pm

Pinikula

...anything I should be worried about?

9:59 pm

Pinikula

Koda (he)...nope, nothing out of the ordinary...he doesn't get people food except for carrots and sometimes peanut butter in his bone as a treat.

10:00 pm

Nef

LOL, Pini! She went into vet. med. because she couldn't stand sick people. AFTER she was a vet, she decided that *I* had a better job because she had had to listen to the animals' illness plus the owners' health and worries

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

acting okay since? interested in food and hold it down today?

10:00 pm

Pinikula

took him to work with me (just in case) and he did very well, only one episode this morning right after we arrived and then late this afternoon a couple of light huffing sessions (only lasting a few huffs each)

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

it's true, nef. i hear way more than i ever wanted to about owners' health issues!

10:01 pm

Pinikula

ate dinner tonight and he's sleeping right now...

10:01 pm

Pinikula

he did well at work today...just kinda hung out with me

10:01 pm

Pinikula

good point, nef...learned her lesson did she? :)

10:02 pm

jesdraggon

i'd watch for coughing and/or hard breathing, maybe take his temperature (normal is 101 F, over 103 is a fever). repeated vomiting is worth getting checked out. and they can aspirate from even one vomit incident, so if you notice coughing or hard breathing, get that looked at

10:02 pm

Pinikula

thx jes...will do!!! ;)

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

i usually don't fret much if one of mine vomits once, i just assume they snuck something they weren't supposed to have, like chicken poo...

10:03 pm

Pinikula

ewwwwwwwwwww

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

if they continue vomiting for more than an hour or so, i get more concerned

10:04 pm

Pinikula

that makes sense...rather like a little kid...

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

indeed, much like a kid... my md friend says in school, they called the pediatric students veterinarians ;)

10:05 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

10:06 pm

Nef

any clues for that bottom left R, word please?

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

don't have it, sorry

10:06 pm

Pinikula

ry4

10:06 pm

Pinikula

keep going right

10:06 pm

Nef

thanks, pini

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

thanks pini!

10:07 pm

Pinikula

10:07 pm

10:37 pm

Minveryork

It did not take me eo 4/4 to finish grid. All the words have been hu 6/27 and found. Now here is a story of clues. As soon as I discovered Babble, I was ho4/9ed! I love to hu 4/6 for words in the grid. Sometimes the grid ties my stomach in kn5/18 if it is a hard grid. Or my stomach gets kn 7/48 if I'm rushed to find my last few words right before the flip. However, any grid is worth doing if it leads to fireworks. I like to hear the sounds of my own oo 4/5s and aahs when I watch my fireworks.Also like to see ro5/10 from other babblers when I finish. I hope you've taken no 4/4 of my clues and found some words.Hubby is being a sn4/4. Hubby wants computer. I told hubby that I needed a sk5/20 more time but he does not care. I wish I could sh 4/6 husband from Farmville, but hell hath no fu4/10 like a husband sans Farmville! He has to go feed his ho5/12 and ro5/10er on Farmville. I cannot ro 4/8 him of his Farmville time. He thinks he is going to get to 4/4 of time on Farmville, but I'll sh 4/5 him off the computer in an hour and return to Babble.Be back later tonight

10:37 pm

stidmama

aha! thanks for helping out that way Min!

10:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

just found 3 more -oo- words. more fish!!!

hello all, from a very hot 42 degrees centigrade..in NSW Australia. Please spare a thought for those in north Queensland, Australia, who are preparing for the onslaught of a large cyclone...weather people reckon it will be larger than 'Katrina'

Hello everyone from the middle of the blizzard. The wind is howling, the snow is falling, the plows are kinda working, and I hope it all ends before I have to head to work in the morning. They aren't closing grocery stores, sadly.
