good morning everybody!

hi, ruby! :)
3:23 am
scouser
hi ruby and all babble persons. Good morning.
3:23 am
herinfernallady
hi
3:24 am
scouser
at least one babblet in here, one funny spelling of a brown and several chemicals today.
3:25 am
herinfernallady
hi
3:25 am
scouser
and some suspect adjectives
3:26 am
rbud
and our fave under-the-bridge dwellers, lol
3:27 am
scouser
Norse ones?
3:28 am
rbud
dunno, do they call them the same as we do in here? ;p
3:29 am
scouser
what do they start with?
3:29 am
rbud
tr5, it's actually only the singular
3:30 am
scouser
yes same - I thought you might mean mo7 !
3:30 am
rbud
haha, have that too. :)
3:33 am
scouser
also we have currency just to satisfy me that we cannot have a grid without at least one bit of money
3:34 am
scouser
I like Terry Pratchett's tr5s which become whizzo mathematicians when deep-freezed
3:35 am
scouser
frozen even
3:36 am
rbud
I need the top left i and the lone O for nbt, can't seem to monkey anything that works, sigh...
3:37 am
scouser
top left i6 is chemical definition of molecule shape first syllable 'same'
3:40 am
rbud
aha, got an is6 there, thanks
3:40 am
scouser
the lone o at bottom has several words from it: group of eight and its plural; technical ear desc; and or4 (embroidery border?)
3:41 am
rbud
no, the second O in the first column is what I'm missing, but thanks for those, too! :)
3:43 am
scouser
couple of om's hebrew weight, leave out, card game, tootle-person
3:47 am
rbud
yay, it was the "tootle person", haha, but that spelling doesn't seem right somehow...
3:47 am
rbud
I knew it would likely have to have the other O in it, of course
3:52 am
scouser
gerat word for crossword-lovers though
3:52 am
scouser
Nice - nuthatch in tree outside my window
3:54 am
scouser
ha hydra - beat you to it !
3:54 am
rbud
oh, nice, I see some of those here at my feeders, but at the moment it's 4 AM, haha
3:55 am
scouser
nighthatches then ?
3:56 am
rbud
they would be, wouldn't they - I only meant I see them when it's light out, but not now... :)
3:56 am
rbud
they seem to love the seed, nut and fruit bells I hang out
3:57 am
scouser
I live on second floor and there is big ash tree less than 20ft away. agoraphobic cat sits in window and yickers at pigeons same size as himself.
3:58 am
scouser
I cannot reach tree for hanging stuff. I want birds eat greenfly aphids anyway.
3:59 am
FMitch
'yickers' what a great word! Morning all.
3:59 am
scouser
I think it is Henry Williamson word.
4:00 am
rbud
cats can be hysterically funny sometimes! the old female we had that liked to birdwatch through the kitchen window finally died of old age last spring. The two neutered males don't seem nearly as interested.
4:01 am
scouser
one time when the weather was bad and a whole flock of assorted small birds came, cat made great fuss and didnt shut up till I came to look at them: bonus - some rarer members of tit family and finches too.
4:03 am
FMitch
I was putting bread out for the birds this morning and a robim flew down and ate a bit that I had dropped about 5" away from my feet!
4:04 am
scouser
To go back to yicker - I think it is a Tarka the Otter word. I have lovely music written on that theme but it is on tape only. Must seek it out.
4:04 am
FMitch
you could try YouTube scouser.
4:04 am
scouser
Yes in the garden of our flats there are at least three or four robin territories - lots of musical battles at the moment.
4:06 am
FMitch
Much testosterone going on in the bird world now that spring is coming.
4:06 am
hydra
Morning, all. I'm here just briefly 'cos friend with small children is about to pop in. I've only found 27 words so far. And scouser, we had another visit from the sparrowhawk on Saturday.
4:06 am
scouser
I FMitch - I am just going to have a quick look at the drawer with tapes in to see if it is near the surface - cannot remember the artist. Very 1980's new age, rolling rollicking theme to mimic the otters.
4:06 am
hydra
Birds woke me at 5.23 this morning. Grrr! So much for testosterone, gimme my beauty sleep.
4:07 am
FMitch
LOL poor hydra!
4:07 am
scouser
Jolly good Hydra. I just tried your mobile - ignore mssg. Speak later. Try sleeping indoors.
4:07 am
hydra
Every morning it's the same. I wake up and reach for the earplugs. Sorry, scouser, I am upstairs and mobile is in kitchen.
4:08 am
hydra
No need for that, scouser!
4:08 am
scouser
have a look at chog later - I have given a few clues.
4:09 am
FMitch
Time for me to pootle off for a while. Happy Babbling!
4:09 am
hydra
Bye, FMitch.
4:10 am
hydra
Gosh, it's chilly up here and I have no socks on. Just looked at windowsill thermometer. 42F. Better put socks on before I catch a chill!
4:10 am
scouser
Ditto. I must go tidy a paper-heap or two as they are reaching nose-height (from the floor). Have I got correct spelling for height? - it looks wrong.
4:11 am
hydra
No, it's correct. Will ring you later.
4:12 am
90909090
have you all got the h word?
4:26 am
scouser
Aye we're all indoors in Scotland !
4:27 am
scouser
Re: Tarka. I have dug out the cassette and that is the title. Harry Williamson, Anthony Phillips composers with briish national Philharmonic orch. 1988. Listed on a Prog-Archives on internet.
4:28 am
scouser
we can get technically horse-y with the h word too.

good morning crossy, and all my dear friends
6:21 am
Trifioso
if some kind soul types the top corner i into the chog by accident, I will grant full PB clemency.....promise!
6:23 am
Book Doctor Gwen
hi there, and i can clue the top i : is6 = is + vowel + ***ry christmas!
6:23 am
Trifioso
blessings on your head, gwen!
6:24 am
Book Doctor Gwen
still hunting for the onther one . . ., YW
6:24 am
Trifioso
oh, and btw -- I was a mighty book doctor myself this weekend! The puppy shredded a a book tertiare has to read for school. I found most of the pieces, and I can't believe how much of it I actually was able to reconstruct. I was mighty proud of myself.
6:25 am
Trifioso
less proud, however, of using the word "mighty" twice in one paragraph.....sigh
6:26 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ah, but using the same word twice means you are not a book doctor (it actually means editor, not restorer). but still , great story, good for you, and bad on your dog!
6:27 am
Book Doctor Gwen
did you slap the dog with a wet noodle? lol
6:27 am
Trifioso
well, I did notice the repetition and would have corrected it if possible - surely that counts?
6:27 am
Trifioso
and no, I slapped tertiare with a wet noodle for leaving a new book in the path of puppy teeth
6:28 am
ladycece920
remove the last letter on the is6 and replace with the 3 letter word to attempt
6:28 am
Book Doctor Gwen
2 questions: how old is tertiare, and how do you pronounce tertiare?
6:29 am
crosshair
lol((trif))@the dog ate her homework;))
6:29 am
Trifioso
wow, well done lady!!!
6:29 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ooh, good clue, TY ladycece!
6:29 am
ladycece920
yw, yw
6:29 am
Book Doctor Gwen
(adding is8 to my collection of weird words)
6:29 am
Trifioso
LOLOL crossy! tertiare is 11, that is not her real name, just what I call her on the internet, and I say it ter - she-air
6:30 am
Book Doctor Gwen
does it mean third child of three, or something like that? (no, not gonna google it)
6:30 am
Trifioso
I am intrigued by how many unacceptable enable words are part of popular phrases -- willy nilly, flim flam, etc
6:32 am
Trifioso
yes, that is what I have decided it means, gwen, though I am not sure it really does. And I don't know why I am so shy of saying their real names on the internet, I mean, they are on facebook and all. I guess I have been calling them Primo, Secondo and Tertiare for so long that it has just stuck. It started as a way for mr hate and I to be able to discuss the kids without them knowing. worked for a good long while
6:33 am
Book Doctor Gwen
egad, mr hate is there dad? LOLOL
6:33 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ack, i mean their dad (OY)
6:33 am
Book Doctor Gwen
(see, this is why editors can't edit themselves . . .)
6:34 am
Book Doctor Gwen
and he knows what you call him on the interwebs???
6:35 am
Trifioso
no, I don't believe he does.
6:36 am
Book Doctor Gwen
ah
6:36 am
crosshair
lol,i have been called worse,he should count himself lucky;)
6:36 am
Trifioso
we aren't married anymore. I used to call him all sorts of nice things, back in the day
6:37 am
Book Doctor Gwen
you know what they say: divorce works best if you treat the fu6 with respect LOLOL
6:37 am
Trifioso
oohhhhhh trust me, crossy, "mr hate" is the polite, appropriate for internet version
6:37 am
Trifioso
excellent gwen! hadn't heard that one! LOLOLOL
6:37 am
Kaplan the Magne
good morning, and is fu6 in the grid?
6:38 am
Book Doctor Gwen
nope, i just don't want to swear in the chat room. (not a prude, a potty mouth in real world)
6:38 am
Trifioso
and uh, yes. if he had treated me with even a modicum of respect, things would have gone much better. accountability might have been nice, as well
6:39 am
crosshair
divorce works best if you are 6000 miles apart and there are children to use as pawns
6:39 am
Trifioso
did you mean "no" children, crossy
6:39 am

6:43 am
Trifioso

6:43 am
crosshair

6:44 am
crosshair

6:44 am
Trifioso
I told primo I am not going into a home, I am going to live with him and his family.
6:45 am
Trifioso
okay, didn't mean to pry....just wondering, really. I was thinking more of mrs crossy, and how it will be nice for you, and her, to have another driver in the house
6:45 am
crosshair
and i am sure the daughter in law will smile at that lol
6:46 am
crosshair
another driver would be amazing,but it will be a year or 2 more i am thinking
6:46 am
Trifioso

Trifioso
then it will be the sweeter for the wait, crossy
6:47 am

Book Doctor Gwen

6:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
she had recently come back to work but had lost her apartment during her illness
6:42 pm
uusue2
oh, a complicated medical situation, sounds like; hard to keep the meds straight, and from interfering with each other
6:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
she was a twin. that always intrigues me, how one could have that and not the other.
6:43 pm
EspritdJean
could be fraternal from different eggs
6:45 pm
72 Temple Owl

6:47 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am not sure what i think of it. i think i would like to be one.
6:47 pm
72 Temple Owl
then i could leave me to someone! :D
6:48 pm
crosshair

6:49 pm

6:49 pm
gapeach
Hey, y'all. On my screen where Lickety's list is a little box saying, The URL you have requested could not be found. (404) Any help, please.. Thanks
6:50 pm
MollyL
I read about things like lifegem after my husband died. It didn't feel right for me. I scattered his ashes around a lake that was special to us. That worked for me. Everyone needs to make their own decision regarding things like that.
6:50 pm
uusue2
direct link to Lickety: http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html
6:51 pm
gapeach
Thanks, uusue2, I'll do that now.
6:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
i was just so surprised that that was possible and also marketed.
6:54 pm
gapeach
I did as you directed and an alligator came on and said 404 was not there or ever existed.
6:55 pm
uusue2
Huh. Let me try something else.
6:56 pm
gapeach
Thanks so much,uusue2.
6:57 pm
uusue2
oh, so it did work?
6:57 pm
uusue2
Good thing because that was the only trick I know :-)
6:58 pm
gapeach
No, dear. I've tried refreshing but didn't work either.
7:00 pm
uusue2
Oh, well. I don't know what else to tell you to try :-(
7:02 pm
gapeach
Is there a way to contact Lickety and see if he could advise?
7:02 pm
fuzzybunny
I was just at lickety's site and had no problem getting in.
7:03 pm
gapeach
How do I do that, please, fuzzybunny?
7:03 pm
fuzzybunny
I just clicked on the link from this site.
7:04 pm
Dorens
i just got on and had no trouble. maybe you should turn off your computer and then try again? and hi.
7:04 pm
uusue2
OK, I have put the word list in my profile for those who are having trouble with lickety.
7:04 pm
uusue2
And now I am off to watch House. Back later.
7:04 pm
fuzzybunny
Is that how you tried the first time?
7:04 pm
MollyL
There are a number of things you can do with cremated remains as a keepsake. More options than there used to be, I guess.
7:04 pm
Dorens
feeling smug cause i found the to 5/14 without help
7:05 pm
fuzzybunny
Are you a chemist Dorens?
7:05 pm
Dorens
i sprinkled my dad up on the hill behind a rock i can sit on and chat with him from time to time. and no, far from it fuzzy!
7:06 pm
gapeach
Fuzzybunny, I clicked onto Lickety's address at the bottom of this page and it told me that 404 URL could not be found.
7:06 pm
fuzzybunny
We have sprinkled the ashes of my in-laws and their brothers and sisters at the beach where all of the children spend the summer.
7:07 pm
fuzzybunny
I don't know what else to tell you to do. I have had major internet problems today in Maine due to the storm.
7:07 pm
MollyL
Dorens, that sounds like a nice place to sit and chat with your Dad. Good choice.
7:08 pm
Dorens
yes, as long as i live in this house... can't dig up the ashes and bring them with me if and when i move, though
7:10 pm
MollyL
Dorens, I read a suggestion about that. If/when you move, just take a piece of the Earth that you shared your loved one with. And then incorporate that into your new place. I don't know if that would work for you, but I thought it was a nice suggestion.
7:11 pm
Dorens
yup, i probably will molly.. whether or not his remains actually come with me is another story, and of course his spirit is always within me.
7:11 pm
cosdem
hello all my lovelies!
7:11 pm
Dorens
howdy cosdem
7:11 pm
cosdem
<-- very excited.. i have a new blackberry!
7:12 pm
cosdem
now if i can get the darned package open :P
7:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
interesting idea
7:12 pm
Dorens
they don't make it easy, do they? so why are you babblng now?
7:12 pm
Dorens
which owl?
7:12 pm
cosdem
because i want to do both at once lol
7:14 pm
MollyL
I agree Dorens. The best part is that the spirit of your loved one is with you wherever you go.
7:14 pm
featherbee
gapeach, first, try shutting your computer down and restarting. if that doesn't work, let me know, and i'll see if i can help more.
7:14 pm
Dorens
fair enough
7:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
taling a bit of the earth you shared
7:16 pm
cosdem
dhahh.. after 15 mins i finally got the package open
7:16 pm
Dorens
yes, I really feel he is with me wherever I go, though. and can talk to him anywhere anytime.
7:18 pm
rururocks
sounds like I walked in the middle of a religious discussion
7:18 pm
MollyL
Cos, congrats on your new toy. Wow, this chat is all over the radar screen tonight. : D
7:18 pm
rururocks
(please not the footprints on the beach story)
7:18 pm
Dorens
my dad. in my mind. Ruru.. just split a split of 82 haut brion graves.. premier grand clue.. oh my god, talk about religious!
7:18 pm
Dorens
crue, not clue. am about to email ken shamelessly!
7:19 pm
rururocks
oh.. whew
7:19 pm
rururocks
the clue would be to clue him to send you more
7:19 pm
Dorens
i'm hoping that will work (and i know it's cru, not crue, or clue... am feeling a bit happy, and that is a nice thing)
7:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
bye
7:20 pm
featherbee
i was wondering what clue i missed
7:20 pm
Dorens
heather, nice snow you guys got, eh?
7:20 pm
rururocks
I don't miss my dad
7:21 pm
featherbee
yup, just a little bit
7:21 pm
Dorens
you'd miss mine if you'd known him ru. wish you had.
7:21 pm
rururocks
that is so nice when it works like it should good for you doren
7:21 pm
featherbee
pics in my flickr
7:21 pm
Dorens
there is this sweet after taste to the haut brion that makes me lick my lips... incroyable!
7:22 pm
rururocks
that's called ripe fruit doren
7:22 pm
Dorens
well this is just as ripe as it gets
7:22 pm
rururocks
the ripest on record next to 61, 47, and 29
7:23 pm
Dorens
oh. ok. then that makes sense. never had any of them!!
7:24 pm
nrkii
I haven't started really missing my dad, which makes me sad because I know that will come soon enough
7:24 pm
Angela
evening everyone - looks like I came into a deep conversation here...
7:24 pm
Dorens
a bittersweet feeling, nrk. nice to have had him. sorry he's not here now, but glad he was when he was.
7:24 pm
MollyL
Hi ((Nrkii))...grief comes in stages. How are you doing today?
7:25 pm
nrkii
sorry to start out sad... hi everyone!!!
7:25 pm
nrkii
very mixed day... my mother is really having a tough time
7:25 pm
Dorens
it's ok nrk. we've all been there, or will be, and it is a part of life.
7:25 pm
nrkii
she blames herself
7:26 pm
featherbee
oh that's hard nrkii
7:26 pm
nrkii
she says she was with him every day, and she should have done more to help him ... he was malnourished, which was a big part of why he couldn't withstand this last illness
7:27 pm
Dorens
doesn't she feel that maybe it was his time?
7:27 pm
nrkii
no, definitely not
7:28 pm
Dorens
i hope she can get help with that. is she religious? (not that I am, but it sure seems to help folks)
7:28 pm
nrkii
my dad was only 72, and he had made it through worse illnesses in the past... plus, they were married for over 49 years... she wasn't ready for it to be his time
7:28 pm
rururocks
72 is young to go..
7:28 pm
Dorens
yes it is..
7:29 pm
featherbee
does she have anyone to talk to about it, anyone who can help her out?
7:29 pm
nrkii
ru, to be fair, he was physically much older than 72, due to rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and a couple of ICU encounters over the years
7:29 pm
rururocks
oh.. that makes a difference..
7:29 pm
nrkii
but still, my mom is 71, and she's a young 71, so in her mind, it was way too soon
7:30 pm
nrkii
feather, she will have to get help, and she knows it, but she's not ready to reach out
7:30 pm
featherbee
ah, ok. hopefully she'll be ready soon. wish i had words of wisdom for you.
7:31 pm
nrkii
I may have to consult my favorite gerontologist for some medical knowledge to help my mom understand that she didn't do anything wrong
7:31 pm
featherbee
excellent idea
7:31 pm
MollyL
Too soon for you too, Nrkii. It's never easy for a daughter to lose their Dad.
7:32 pm
Angela
haven't spoken to mine since August...wish it were different.
7:32 pm
nrkii
yes Molly, I agree... I'm coping, and I'm letting myself be angry and sad and then still have fun and laugh, so I think I'll be okay
7:32 pm
featherbee
plus, your dad sounds like he was fairly stubborn. she could have TRIED to get him to eat more/better, but if he didn't want to, she couldn't strap him down and force feed him!
7:32 pm
nrkii
but someone said, grieving is NOT a linear process, so I know there will be times when I am 2 steps forward 4 steps back
7:32 pm
nrkii
feather, exactly
7:33 pm
stidmama
hey all.
7:33 pm
nrkii
she treated him with respect and let him keep his dignity
7:33 pm
nrkii
sorry to hear that Angela, families can be hard, can't they?
7:33 pm
featherbee
hi stid!
7:34 pm
MollyL
Losing someone comes in bits and pieces. It doesn't come all at once. I think that would be too much to bear.
7:34 pm
stidmama
(((hugs for nrk and mom)))
7:34 pm
stidmama
hey feather -- is that snowplow still stuck?
7:35 pm
nrkii
thanks stid... gratefully accepted
7:35 pm
nrkii
loved the snowplow!
7:35 pm
featherbee
lol, nope, he got out. however FOUR plows in our little town, which i'm guessing has a total of about four plows, got stuck!
7:35 pm
nrkii
can someone help me with the lonely single O in the left column please?
7:36 pm
Angela
think it's the musical instrument player
7:36 pm
stidmama
oh gee -- you had an awful lot of snow for this time of year
7:36 pm
Angela
you bet :)
7:37 pm
nrkii
how much snow did you get, feather?
7:37 pm
featherbee
6th biggest snowfall in march in the records
7:37 pm
featherbee
at least 21 inches here at my house, but it's really hard to tell, as there was a LOT of blowing and drifting
7:38 pm
Angela

8:35 pm
DR1965
Jake is wonderful! He was cast in the Kids chorus of Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat
8:36 pm
DR1965
the chorus is him and 6 girls aged 8-12
8:36 pm
stidmama
well -- the paper was accepted, and my presentation is tomorrow. So life is looking up at the moment, though we still don't know where I will be student teaching... in exactly 2 weeks. I hope.
8:36 pm
stidmama
woo-hoo!!!! that is excellent for Jake! rofl... (and his harem)
8:36 pm
DR1965
GOod for you! We need more teachers who care
8:37 pm
DR1965
yes, it is a harem indeed
8:37 pm
stidmama
stidkid #2 (the actor) says, "OH YEAH... get 'im Jake!"
8:37 pm
DR1965
he is going to be very busy though
8:38 pm
stidmama
oh yes, it is busy to be in a production. stidkid just got back from an audition. He is really hoping to get in. I am rather hoping he doesn't....
8:38 pm
DR1965
It is his first real production-
8:38 pm
DR1965
FIngers crossed for Stidkid
8:39 pm
stidmama
I volunteered to go in to my friend's classroom in June once I am done student teaching, to help with additional end-of-year activities. Offered to teach the creative writing unit again, or "whatever they need" (really trying to make myself indispensible! LOL)
8:39 pm
stidmama
thanks DR.
8:40 pm
DR1965
Jakester likes their student teacher better than the regular one..
8:42 pm
lbdawger
hi stid hi dr, whooo hoooo for jakester and gl for stidkid2
8:42 pm
stidmama
well we student teachers get to do a good bit of the "fun stuff" -- we are notorious for "engaging lessons" LOL
8:42 pm
stidmama
hey LBD!
8:42 pm
DR1965
Hi Dawger!
8:42 pm
stidmama
apparently shoo was looking for you several hours ago LBD, did she get hold of you?
8:43 pm
lbdawger
argh, i haven't checked my emails. i bet we were suppose to skype today...
8:43 pm
rbud
woohoo, good Maxine, dawg, love it!
8:43 pm
DR1965
brb- need to get the Jakester from karate... Just tattoo Jake's Taxi on my forehead
8:43 pm
stidmama
actually we are required to do those types of lessons which are really hard to do on a regular basis; just to prove we can if necessary.
8:44 pm
stidmama
later DR!
8:44 pm
stidmama
hey rbud!
8:44 pm
lbdawger
hi rbud!
8:44 pm
lbdawger
later, DR.
8:45 pm
rbud
reminds me of my old man, more polite but same general reasoning, he calls everyone "Ma'am" and "Sir"... but not with lots of respect, if you know what I mean. He's bad with names.
8:47 pm
rbud
darn, ni4y isn't a word? guess it's only the last half of willy-ni4y, huh...
8:49 pm
lbdawger
lol, i tried it too, rbud

9:45 pm
Pinikula

9:46 pm
stidmama

Trying to focus on the positives, like getting to wear pretty clothes and have everyone looking at me for 15 minutes... *twirls* I will wear a PINK blouse. and my wicked-cool tall black boots (which will barely show under my long skirt, but *i* shall know they are there)
9:46 pm
stidmama

9:48 pm
Pinikula
hope it looks up soon
9:49 pm
jesdraggon
that's the thing, it wasn't routine things, but everyone involved handled thing so calmly that it's... i guess it's like i keep waiting for someone to freak out...
9:50 pm
jesdraggon
And then Bruce spent the day at his gramma's, saying goodbye. she's dying of liver cancer, probably this week.

stidmama
hoping the 1992 chianti Tom brought up from the shed will go well with the tuna we are baking. made a fennel and orange (and assorted veggies) marinade sorta thingy to bake it in, trying to cut some of the oiliness. Never knew tuna was supposed to be oily until we got fresh tuna a few years back!
