3:47 am

westford

rubyfoo

the daffs are up and just forming buds, but it's been so dry that they wont open without some rain

3:47 am

westford

the snow is finally gone and we can see where no grass is lol

3:48 am

westford

no flowers yet at all not even crocuses

3:48 am

rubyfoo

we are hoping to buy some sod because what used to be a lawn is just dirt now

3:48 am

joshuavorbis

many of my tulips are either blooming or about to bloom

3:48 am

rubyfoo

the only flowers that are up are wild pale yellow primroses

3:48 am

westford

any golf courses going out of business?

3:48 am

rubyfoo

3:49 am

westford

oh pretty josh

3:49 am

westford

where are you now?

3:49 am

rubyfoo

what color tulips do you have, josh?

3:50 am

westford

poor husband is so allergic that Spring is very hard on him

3:50 am

westford

can't bring anything into the house

3:50 am

suefrad625

suefrad625

3:51 am

suefrad625

3:51 am

westford

3:52 am

suefrad625

good night

3:52 am

joshuavorbis

and another ur5

3:52 am

joshuavorbis

i am not traveling at the moment

3:52 am

westford

good night sue

3:52 am

westford

what is it about roses with no scent..I love the smell

3:53 am

westford

they remind me of my proms

3:53 am

westford

and that was a long long time ago

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind; some of the roses from my garden smell so strong that I have to keep the cut flowers outside on the deck

3:55 am

westford

my mother had tea roses..they were so beautiful

3:55 am

joshuavorbis

i have a climbing rose plant on my back deck, i should probably get it under control somehow

3:56 am

westford

they do tend to go haywire

3:56 am

westford

do you have a trellis?

3:57 am

westford

I have 5 f's all fe do you know what the last one is?

3:57 am

joshuavorbis

yes, that is what the plant has commandeered

3:58 am

westford

commandeering roses what a picture lol

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I have one climbing rose on a trellis and the plant keeps knoocking the trellis over

3:58 am

joshuavorbis

it's a function of my neglect as much as anything else

3:59 am

westford

oh josh I heard through the grapevine that you are engaged. Congratulations !!

3:59 am

joshuavorbis

tyvm west

4:00 am

westford

a beautiful garden ( Ruby's is definitely one ) takes tons of work

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I have a guy (not a gardener) to help me. I point and tell him what to do. I just do the small stuff

4:01 am

westford

I'd love to have a guy like that

4:01 am

rubyfoo

he's a shlepper!

4:01 am

joshuavorbis

guys are good for shlepping sometimes

4:01 am

westford

lol bet you do more than you're saying

4:02 am

westford

what's his name?

4:02 am

rubyfoo

once it gets warm, I like to sit on the ground and weed small patches

4:02 am

rubyfoo

David

4:02 am

westford

I was thinking Clem

4:03 am

rubyfoo

clem??

4:03 am

rubyfoo

clem, the shlepper?

4:03 am

westford

kind of fits

4:03 am

joshuavorbis

sol the shlepper fits better

4:03 am

westford

not too French though

4:03 am

rubyfoo

how do you say shlep in French? hahah In South Africa, everybody says shlep, even Afrikaans-speakers

4:04 am

westford

I thought that was Yiddish

4:04 am

joshuavorbis

shlep is yiddish. closest french word would be something like porter, to carry

4:05 am

rubyfoo

it is yiddish but I think it has escaped the language barrier as it's such a descriptive word (as is so much yiddish!)

4:05 am

rubyfoo

but porter is more dignified; shlep implies stuff falling out of a torn paper bag.....

4:05 am

westford

lol perfect

4:05 am

rubyfoo

in the rain

4:06 am

joshuavorbis

or a truck that spits black smoke

4:06 am

rubyfoo

it's funny how yiddish words that my mother used come back to me as I get old

4:08 am

westford

what's that Laverne and Shirley word?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

would monkeys know it? Jewish monkeys?

4:09 am

praise2him

sclrmeel west

4:09 am

westford

that's it and hello praise

4:09 am

joshuavorbis

shlemiel shlemazel

4:10 am

praise2him

hi west

4:10 am

rubyfoo

hahaha

4:10 am

westford

schmaltz is another good one

4:10 am

rubyfoo

and schmaltz herring!!!!

4:11 am

westford

I love herring

4:12 am

rubyfoo

you can get herring here in restaurants but only occasional. It's served tepid with onions and boiled potatoes. Wonderful!

4:12 am

westford

in cream sauce

4:12 am

rubyfoo

Vita brand -- yes, I miss that!

4:12 am

westford

can you get most seafood?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

you can't get decent horseradish here, either

4:12 am

rubyfoo

we are too far inland

4:13 am

westford

aren't you close to Geneva?

4:13 am

rubyfoo

yes, that is the closest synagogue.

4:14 am

westford

can you grow horse radish?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

Geneva restaurants have good seafood, but with all husband's health problems, Geneva has become too far away, even though it's less than an hour

4:14 am

westford

oh that's too bad how is he doing?

4:15 am

westford

what kind of drive is it? windy country roads or highways?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

now he has a cold which has put him into a panic as he's afraid of getting pneumonia again. And his dreaded daughter is arriving on Thursday for a week.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

it is highways, but impossible now

4:16 am

rubyfoo

we are only 35 minutes from the Geneva airport, but I'm making his daughter take a bus!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

mean Ruby!

4:16 am

westford

the houseguest from hell?

4:16 am

redturtlehead

Oh My Poor girl...I am sure she is horrid, but...

4:16 am

redturtlehead

hello.

4:16 am

westford

don't blame you ruby

4:16 am

westford

hi red why are you up?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and a snoop, besides. I am now putting all my "sensitive correspondence" into innocuously named files like "dog Food Recipes"

4:17 am

redturtlehead

Going to work fairly soon.

4:17 am

westford

oh that's not good it's the weekend

4:17 am

rubyfoo

Sprite suggested that I mark files "Private" and then put in nasty messages which she would be too embarrassed to mention

4:18 am

redturtlehead

Its a 24/7 job so not too surprising for me.

4:18 am

westford

good suggestion..is she nosy?

4:18 am

westford

people are not allowed to get sick on weekends

4:18 am

westford

don't they know that?

4:18 am

redturtlehead

Nosy does make for a bad houseguest. I gotta say nothing my parents do makes me nosy...

4:19 am

redturtlehead

I wish West, I wish the not sick ool would just stay away.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

very nosy and not to be trusted and the guestroom is on the same level as my studio with it's computer

4:19 am

rubyfoo

its* duh

4:20 am

westford

just put her to work and she'll be too tired to snoop

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I'm going to make her prune the roses!

4:20 am

westford

she can help Clem

4:20 am

redturtlehead

indeed she can prune roses.

4:20 am

westford

red, we still haven't heard whether we scored tickets to the launch but we think we're going to go anyway

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I already told her she'd have to do housework because housekeeper is taking a one-month holiday (I've never had a one-month holiday in my life) to Reunion

4:21 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, husband is afoot! see you later

4:21 am

westford

bye (( ruby)) nice to see you again

4:21 am

redturtlehead

You should go anyway, I never even though about getting "tickets" to a launch. there are plenty of places to go see it...jetty Park etc.

4:21 am

westford

you sound like Sherlock lol

4:22 am

redturtlehead

good luck RUby.

4:22 am

westford

I'll let you know so we can get together after we're planning to stay in the area for a few days

4:23 am

redturtlehead

Also, if you are not selected to have tickets to the launch, for a medium price, you can often join a "tour bus" for the evening and they can get you in closer.

4:23 am

westford

oh that's a great idea

4:24 am

redturtlehead

I had to deal with my unpleasant houseguest who was obsessed with the Space Shuttle and the Space Center last year, so I have a few tips.. LOL

4:24 am

westford

I remember.

4:24 am

redturtlehead

Yes! Babble saved me.

4:25 am

westford

lol

4:25 am

westford

are you happy not to be moving around any more?

4:32 am

redturtlehead

Oh Yes, I am . Still trying to purchase a short sale here, but I am very very pleased to be in the same place.

4:32 am

westford

it's nice to be settled

4:32 am

westford

are you trying to buy the place you're in now?

4:34 am

redturtlehead

I'm in an apartment now, just trying to get a smaller townhome. It was very nicely done with a lot of custom granite, but the housing market is quite bad in Florida, so I can get a good deal...

4:34 am

westford

that sounds very nice

4:35 am

westford

I thought it was the law that when you turned 65 you had to move to FL..

4:35 am

redturtlehead

It's funny though, I feel very stressed as I hear it may start on closing next week...and then I actually have to move, not contemplate moving!

4:35 am

redturtlehead

LOL! our town's median age is 36!

4:36 am

westford

moving can be stressful can you keep the place you're in and move gradually?

4:36 am

redturtlehead

I think I will have to...and all will be well....I just got a good eval at work and such...

4:37 am

redturtlehead

But then yesterday I had a complete and utter meltdown at work, so that causes me panic, but it was such a bad day.

4:37 am

redturtlehead

and we have had so many bad days lately.

4:37 am

westford

well of course you would

4:38 am

redturtlehead

I think in the end all will work out. whatever anxiety I have has been a bit stirred up.

4:38 am

westford

I meant of course you'd get a good eval not that you'd have a meltdown

4:38 am

redturtlehead

I thought that.

4:38 am

redturtlehead

One can never be sure in evaulation time!

4:38 am

westford

oh good lol

4:38 am

westford

sometimes it's good to blow up

4:39 am

redturtlehead

it rather alarmed my manager. But like I said, it had been a very difficult week...

4:39 am

westford

patients or staff?

4:39 am

redturtlehead

Combination of both, and some strange things...

4:40 am

redturtlehead

ah well all will work out. How is Rhode Isand?

4:40 am

westford

RI is broke lol Poor Lincoln Chaffee has his work cut out

4:41 am

westford

it's getting warmer though so that will help the mood

4:43 am

redturtlehead

this is true. My Sister seems to have kept her teaching job which is a miracle. (since she teaches Art)

4:43 am

lynxxx

West/Red! how nice to see you both!

4:43 am

westford

oh that's good to hear I hate that they've taken away so much of that

4:44 am

sprite

morning all :)

4:44 am

redturtlehead

Hi Lynxxx! and sprite!!!

4:44 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite

4:44 am

westford

hi lyn and sprite

4:44 am

redturtlehead

Indeed West. She got the letter the teachers all got in Providence.. and was concerned, as her husband is not working much lately.

4:44 am

westford

I can't go now.

4:44 am

sprite

oh my what a lovely company to join!

4:45 am

westford

that was such a bad deal red

4:45 am

westford

let's hold hands and skip in a circle

4:45 am

lynxxx

isn't it Sprite

4:45 am

redturtlehead

things are difficult, but I am pleased she for the moment has a job.

4:45 am

redturtlehead

OK hand holding commenced.

4:45 am

sprite

*joining the circle*

4:46 am

lynxxx

What have you been up to West - You leave the Summer house and we don't see you!

4:46 am

westford

is Terra here too?

4:46 am

westford

holed up for the winter like a bear lyn lol

4:46 am

sprite

no Terra is downstairs with my love :)

4:47 am

sprite

why on earth do I see 'nocturne' in this grid?

4:47 am

lynxxx

we look forward to seeing your happy Summer face then

4:47 am

westford

well how about Stewie and Teilu?

4:48 am

westford

not sure if I spelled those correctly

4:48 am

lynxxx

Stew is fine, has calmed down a LOT these last 6 or so months

4:48 am

westford

we turn the clocks back tomorrow that always makes me happy

4:48 am

westford

hate the doldrums

4:49 am

westford

lyn did you rescue him?

4:50 am

sprite

I thought the clocks were turned forwards in spring?

4:50 am

praise2him

me too

4:50 am

sprite

hi praise

4:50 am

westford

oh oh you're right fall back spring ahead

4:50 am

lynxxx

Not so much a rescue as the owners give them up if they are no good at racing. He was given up when he was 2.5 years so I guess he was a dud

4:50 am

westford

I would have been so late lol

4:50 am

lynxxx

hi Praise

4:51 am

praise2him

spring forward--fall back

4:51 am

westford

that's good lyn that they didn't just put him down

4:51 am

sprite

I hate turning the clocks forward,lol, that is why I remember. I mean come on... getting up before you are ready, eating before you are hungry, going to bed before you are sleepy? Messing with my rhythm, and it is bad for me.

4:51 am

praise2him

hi lynxxx

4:51 am

westford

how old is he now?

4:51 am

lynxxx

6 (already!)

4:52 am

westford

I hear you sprite who came up with that idea anyway?

4:52 am

sprite

and Stew has a wonderful life with lyn

4:52 am

westford

6 wow where does the time go?

4:52 am

redturtlehead

yes, I must run.

4:53 am

sprite

I have no idea, west. Here they say it is for the farmers. But I don't see the logic or need.

4:53 am

westford

and how old is baby Terra?

4:53 am

lynxxx

I think Daylight Saving is a wonderful idea

4:53 am

sprite

lol Baby Terra is 2 yo already! Fully grown and even no longer an adolescent.

4:53 am

westford

yes, farmers get up early enough as it is I'm sure they'd like to sleep in

4:53 am

sprite

bye red, have a good run

4:54 am

lynxxx

bye Red

4:54 am

sprite

why is that, lyn?

4:54 am

westford

bye (( red )) have a happy day

4:55 am

lynxxx

I think we are ruled by the clock (especially when working) I love, love the daylight hours until 9.30 in the Summer

4:55 am

westford

I love that too

4:56 am

sprite

I think DLS actually proves how much we are managed by clocks. The daylight hours are simply there, even if we didn't change the clock time.

4:57 am

westford

once though when we live in Key West it was still light at 10:30 and it was impossible to get the baby to sleep

4:57 am

westford

that was when we only had one

4:58 am

lynxxx

Yes but I don't think many people take advantage of extended daylight hours before school and work in the morning - it is so much easier to do things (especially as a family) when you have a good 3/4 hours in the evening

4:58 am

sprite

well I am prejudiced, I know. I have trouble enough keeping everything in balance as it is, and DLS messes up my system very badly for quite some time.

4:59 am

westford

I'd like to be a cat..eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired and purr when you're happy

5:00 am

westford

and spit and growl once in awhile lol

5:01 am

westford

I'm afraid it would take me too long to groom myself though

5:01 am

sprite

I second that, west! I know I would be so much healthier in a rural setting, in a much simpler life. When the kids are grown, I am really gonna try for that.

5:01 am

lynxxx

and those fur balls - yuck!

5:01 am

sprite

lol west! The time it took wouldn't be as bad as all those hairs in your mouth!

5:01 am

westford

lol

5:02 am

westford

your idea sounds idyllic sprite

5:03 am

sprite

well I will keep you up to speed then :)

5:04 am

westford

how old are your children sprite they must be almost grown now

5:04 am

sprite

they are 13 and almost 15 now.

5:04 am

westford

wow

5:05 am

westford

two teenagers !!

5:05 am

lynxxx

wow is right

5:05 am

sprite

amazing, isn't it! You guys have 'known' them for about 7 years now! That is for half of their lives.

5:06 am

lynxxx

for me only 5 but they were just kids even so

5:06 am

westford

our youngest granddaughter just turned 5 seems like yesterday she was born

5:06 am

sprite

yes the difference is so big. From children to teenagers, it is a different world.

5:07 am

sprite

aw west, congratulations and how sweet!

5:07 am

lynxxx

You heard we lost Nancy Boy a month or so ago West - talking about children

5:07 am

westford

I did sprite I was so very sad

5:08 am

westford

he was sunshine personified

5:09 am

sprite

he was like the son of babble, in a way. I think we all felt very protective towards him and enjoyed his sunny personality.

5:10 am

westford

never ever had a cross word or thought about anyone

5:11 am

sprite

as I have posted on babanon, he was a beautiful soul who has been dealt a rotten hand of cards. Too bad the good die young.

5:11 am

westford

yes it is I wonder if someday his parents will realize what they threw away

5:12 am

sprite

I doubt it, to be honest. Too firmly stuck to their beliefs and prejudices.

5:12 am

westford

yes it seems so

5:14 am

sprite

I hear my teenager son has awoken, at noon, so I am gonna hug him.

5:15 am

westford

give him an extra hug from me too

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Tell him to get up..lazy boy..LOL..hello, All :-)

5:15 am

westford

and since it is 6:15 a.m. here and I haven't been to bed yet I think I will say bye for now

5:16 am

lynxxx

hi Zooz

5:16 am

westford

hi ((zooz))

5:16 am

westford

and bye ((lyn)) and ((sprite)) so nice to see everyone again

5:16 am

zoozzoom

Good gosh, West...you need your sleep..hope you sleep well :-)

5:17 am

westford

lol zooz I think I won't have any trouble

5:17 am

lynxxx

Good morning/night West! sleep well - good to see you haven't changed, lol

5:18 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:18 am

sprite

hey zooz! Well all good intentions out of the window... he came out of bed and got into a fight with his dad within 5 minutes. Two angry males in da house now...

5:19 am

sprite

night west *hugs* It was great to see you!

5:19 am

westford

it was great to see you and lyn and zooz too and now *poof*

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear..not good news..Spritey, i am sure it will blow over.

5:19 am

lynxxx

I must go too - we went out to dinner and I am full to bursting with marinara linguini and white wine - I must go and sleep it off. Keep well all, bye

5:20 am

sprite

how lovely, lyn :) Enjoy and sleep well.

5:20 am

zoozzoom

Sweet dreams, Lynxxx :-)

5:20 am

sprite

it always does, zooz! Normal male teenager/daddy behaviour.

5:20 am

praise2him

bye lynzzz

5:21 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Praise :-)

5:21 am

sprite

you know, this grid started out so very very easy and now it is rising an ugly tail!

5:21 am

praise2him

hi zooz

5:24 am

praise2him

I agree sprite

5:25 am

sprite

it's only that it always scares me, fighting. Those angry voices get my panic hormones up as if I was involved. Stupid ptsd :(

5:25 am

praise2him

sorry sprite

5:26 am

sprite

thanks praise, I am getting better though :) Therapy is working.

5:26 am

praise2him

glad to hear it

5:27 am

praise2him

had a lot of yjat in home when I was a kid

5:27 am

praise2him

no fun

5:28 am

praise2him

that I mean

5:28 am

sprite

am sorry, praise. Must have left its mark on you as well, I think.

5:28 am

praise2him

yes it did

5:29 am

praise2him

parents divorced when I was 13

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that, Praise, my parents divorced when i was 9..then re-married when i was 12..hard times then.

5:31 am

rubyfoo

back for a minute

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

5:31 am

sprite

my parents divorced when I was 7.

Hi rubyfoo :)

5:31 am

zoozzoom

re-married to another person i should add.

5:32 am

zoozzoom

More wide spread than people realise.

5:32 am

praise2him

mom remarried when I was almost 16

5:33 am

sprite

I am glad my parents divorced, but they have hated eachother very actively for the next 25 years at least. So that was not good.

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I was very lucky; nobody was ever visibly angry when I was growing up.

5:33 am

rubyfoo

of course, it left me unable to express anger, but that's the price, I guess

5:34 am

sprite

nor tangibly, rubyfoo? Because hidden anger is even more scary, often.

5:34 am

rubyfoo

my 1st husband still hates me and we've been apart 40 years!

5:34 am

ivesy3

we divorced when my son was 8,. he no longer sees his father, hasnt for years. father didnt like it cuz his son had "problems"

5:34 am

sprite

isn't it horrifying, the way people can hang on to hate?

5:34 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ivesy :-)

5:35 am

sprite

oh my, ivesy :( Am so very sorry, for you and your son. That is a painful blow.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

I am so tired; husband is sick again and it's hard to tell if he's really sick or just being dramatic

5:35 am

zoozzoom

Sad to hear that, Ivesy :-(

5:35 am

ivesy3

morning zoo, morning all

5:35 am

sprite

darn rubyfoo, that is tough. Any chance to let a doctor decide?

5:35 am

rubyfoo

5:36 am

rubyfoo

I have no confidence in either of his doctors

5:36 am

ivesy3

yes, but he missed the part where son got his life back on track! beat the prob. yes he struggles, but fights it everyday.

5:36 am

sprite

your son is a hero then, ivesy, and his mum is too. And alas, his dad is a coward.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Good for him, Ivesy!

5:37 am

rubyfoo

yay for ivesy's son!

5:37 am

ivesy3

ty, and yes i agree.. total coward..his loss

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Yes you are so right, Ivesy, you should be proud of yourself too, Ivesy.

5:38 am

sprite

in an aside, I refuse to believe this grid has 1. more than 130 words, 2. has any 8s and 3. let alone has any 9s!

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that , ruby, in what way is he sick as in being sick?

5:38 am

ivesy3

its been a long road, but well worth the fight. !

5:39 am

ivesy3

well, i need my morning cups of coffee bfor work. my sat. too work

5:39 am

sprite

love has won the ba6, ivesy, and you led the way.

5:39 am

ivesy3

aww ty sprite, i like that

5:39 am

sprite

have a good day, ivesy! *hugs*

5:39 am

rubyfoo

I think it's just a cold, but he's groaning and miserable. He can't take "cold medicines" because he has glaucoma, so I bought some homeopathic things at the pharmacy,: coper, zinc and some little pills

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Ivesy :-)

5:40 am

ivesy3

hugs to all, have a good day , cya later

5:40 am

rubyfoo

I trust the pharmacist who seems smarter than either MD!

5:40 am

rubyfoo

bye ivesy

5:40 am

sprite

aw rubyfoo, even if it is just a cold, he will be so scared. And unable to show it any other way than being a pain in the youknowwhat. Can't you get anyone to help you?

5:41 am

rubyfoo

of course, it's Saturday!

5:41 am

sprite

lol yes rubyfoo. I think this kinda proves you need more sleep. Make arrangements for yourself to get it! (oh dear I am preaching again to you... can't seem to not to)

5:42 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK; I get my sleep, no matter what!

5:43 am

zoozzoom

You will have to be strong. Give him his medicine, take a nap, then see how he is, see the pharmacist and see what she says.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

I am selfish about that, but if I don't get enough sleep, I am useless to everyone

5:43 am

zoozzoom

I am not very good at giving advice i`m afraid..lol

5:44 am

sprite

come on, that is not selfish. That is sound thinking. Great going :)

5:44 am

rubyfoo

but you are supportive, and that's what counts! And much-loved!

5:44 am

rubyfoo

I just called the "shlepper" to tgive me a hand with carrying wood, etc.

5:44 am

sprite

me neither, zooz. Just pretty ok when it comes to making people think a bit differently.

5:45 am

sprite

wow rubyfoo, you are really doing great. Am so glad to hear you are taking care of YOU as well :)

5:45 am

zoozzoom

Spritey beat me to it, how can you say you are selfish..you are loving to your husband, he does not show it in ways you want..as he is scared, but he does love you that i am sure..you are doing great, Spritey, you just need to look after yourself also.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

is carlet a mini-mini-cooper?

5:46 am

sprite

it should be! Just as a small city should be a to4let.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

o barlet a home plce to get a drink?

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Not heard of it..and thanks for making me try it in the grid..lol

5:47 am

sprite

thanks zooz :)

5:47 am

rubyfoo

like where I live hahah

5:47 am

hurshy

have you got the baby 2000 lbs then, ruby?

5:48 am

sprite

hiya hursh :) And I keep trying for owlet.

5:48 am

hurshy

well that one works, sprite

5:48 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Hurshy :-)

5:48 am

rubyfoo

not yet, hurshy, monkeys are looking. the ending gave me co6 however, so thanks

5:48 am

hurshy

hi all

5:48 am

rubyfoo

ow6 works, sprite!

5:49 am

hurshy

she means ow5

5:49 am

zoozzoom

thanks for the ow5 :-)

5:49 am

rubyfoo

raton laveur is raccoon in French. Isn't that funny?

5:49 am

rubyfoo

can't spell, can't count, hahah

5:50 am

sprite

oh my I apologise! *crawls shamefaced into the PB and tears open a big potato chips bag*

5:50 am

sprite

oh that is the same in dutch, rubyfoo! Wasbeer... washing bear.

5:50 am

zoozzoom

hehe

5:50 am

hurshy

we know you didn't mean to, sprite! :)

5:50 am

sprite

no wonder it didn't take, lol... it had already taken the first time!

5:50 am

rubyfoo

very cu**

5:52 am

sprite

you guys are the best

5:52 am

rubyfoo

only 85 words but I have to go and check on the fire. Lovely and happy chat, thank you all

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Babble is funny, Spritey gets put into the PB for doing wrong..yet we reap the benifits with no punishments..muaaahhaaaa

5:52 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo, take care and all the best

5:53 am

rubyfoo

sounds fair to me and she gets the chips!

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Ruby :-)

5:53 am

sprite

hehehe that is the fun, zooz. That is why you are expected to keep the PB filled with goodies :)

5:53 am

hurshy

but the whole reason is that some of us don't consider it a benefit. it robs us the joy of finding the words.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

I do agree,Hurshy, well untill i get stuck :-)

5:54 am

sprite

I know, hursh. It is inevitable that it happens, but I try very hard not to be the one to do it.

5:54 am

hurshy

these things must come, but woe unto him through whom they come...

5:55 am

sprite

beautifully severely put :P

5:55 am

hurshy

you said it and it reminded me of the quote - i thought you might have had it in mind also

5:56 am

sprite

didn't know the quote but I love it!

5:57 am

hurshy

well i think i got it right but, roughly, anyway, that's what jesus said regarding judas.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Well nice chatting to you , All, but i need to go for a while, will be back later.

5:57 am

hurshy

so, accidental word posting really doesn't compare.

5:57 am

praise2him

bye zooz

5:57 am

sprite

bye for now, zooz, and have a sunny day *hug*

5:58 am

sprite

true, hursh. Did you see the brother of Jacula is in the grid? (cryptic clue)

5:58 am

hurshy

thanks, don't know that word, and very nice clue!

5:58 am

sprite

:D

6:00 am

hurshy

top L tip: try things you don't expect to work

6:01 am

sprite

nice one too :)

6:02 am

hurshy

we all do our bit :)

6:04 am

sprite

found the def of Jac's bro. It is the plural to the os priapi in most mammals :)

6:05 am

hurshy

and what might the os priapi be?

6:05 am

sprite

the penis bone

6:05 am

hurshy

aha

6:05 am

hurshy

i didn't know it had a bone.

6:06 am

sprite

not in humans, it seems

6:07 am

hurshy

ah, that would explain why i didn't know, then.

6:07 am

sprite

nor did I. The things we learn from babble...

6:07 am

hurshy

you'd have to be a zoologist, or a perv

6:08 am

sprite

or a babbler with a good memory

6:08 am

hurshy

well that too

6:09 am

hurshy

once i saw my cat's - he had put it out to clean it. but it made me wonder how cats ever manage to make kittens.

6:11 am

sprite

I hope mamma puss to be enjoys it. They say cats do... as opposed to most female animals. I have no idea how they know, though.

6:11 am

hurshy

really, i thought cats did NOT enjoy it? oh well. mine are all spayed/neutered so have not had to deal with that.

6:12 am

sprite

see how little we know. Does realising that make us wise?

6:12 am

sprite

oh thanks for the ne6

6:13 am

hurshy

the thing that is so weird to me is that male cats generally are known for behaving in undesirable ways if they are not neutered, and i simply cannot imagine my sweet little marty ever being like that, had he not been. not MARTY.

6:13 am

hurshy

ha, i hadn't gotten to N yet. lol

6:15 am

sprite

hehehe I am afraid he would, though. I mean, Terra is the sweetest dog you can imagine. Listens perfectly. But once he gets a whiff of a lady dog in heat, he is offfffff. And deaf to us.

6:15 am

hurshy

i think politicians should have to be ne6ed.

6:16 am

hurshy

the male ones, i mean

6:16 am

sprite

hm it is an idea. Can I start with Wilders then? *holds up two big-sized rocks*

6:17 am

hurshy

i mean doesn't it just make sense? look at all the sex scandals that distract us from the issues. gone.

6:17 am

hurshy

have two or three kids if you want 'em, then start your political career.

6:17 am

sprite

we have pretty little of that here. Once, I believe, with Lubbers, but that was minor.

6:18 am

hurshy

testosterone seems to prevent men from thinking straight in general. and don't you think we'd then have far less war?

6:19 am

sprite

I would be inclined to agree, but I have seen how awfully cr5 women can be. So I doubt it.

6:21 am

hurshy

they CAN, but on average - i mean look at all that stuff from the third world, about how if a man gets money, it gets spent on beer and tobacco and stuff. if a woman gets money, it gets spent on food and education for the children. that's why many nonprofits are focusing their microloans and other efforts on women.

6:22 am

City 17 dweller

'All generalisations are dangerous, even this one'

6:22 am

sprite

I know that men and women are differently wired, but I believe them to be morally equal.

6:22 am

sprite

hi City!

6:22 am

City 17 dweller

Hey Sprite, hi everyone

6:23 am

MissOmnibus

God, I couldnt remember for the life of me the site of this place... sigh all the old info is on my long dead laptop... good to be back

6:23 am

MissOmnibus

w to feed the puzzle craving brain!

6:24 am

sprite

fireflies :) Nasty grid... lu4s you in with promises of easiness and stings you in the butt once you are in full fly.

Hi MissO, welcome back!

6:24 am

hurshy

morally equal, yes. practically equal, no. women couldn't do as much when simply surviving primitive dangers, hunting for food, etc, were the order of the day.

6:24 am

MissOmnibus

thatnks Sprite <3

6:25 am

sprite

yep, it is more about circumstances and opportunity than about moral differences. Put women in power and they play the same kind of games men do.

6:26 am

sprite

have to be off, have fun all and enjoy your Saturday. *hugs*

6:27 am

praise2him

bye sprite

6:35 am

hurshy

wow, i just realized i went through the grid tile by tile and haven't found a single one of the long words!

6:36 am

City 17 dweller

It must be that sort of grid, Hurshey... I've just found my first 8 after 120 words, and don't even have a 7 yet...

6:37 am

hurshy

i don't think i like this sort of a grid.

6:38 am

hurshy

i mean i know i don't like grids with a sizable word count and no S, anyway.

6:38 am

City 17 dweller

As Sprite said, it lu4/5's you into thinking it's easy, and then turns out to be a withholder.

6:39 am

City 17 dweller

I keep adding my own 's'; ironic really, since when the grid *has* an 's', I miss all the plural words.

6:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

You talk about thegrid asif it'salive!!

6:40 am

City 17 dweller

*pokes it* ... there, it moved!

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

We hadthese words yesterday. Why does it do that?

6:41 am

hurshy

if i walk to get donuts, that makes up for the calories of eating them, wouldn't you say?

6:41 am

City 17 dweller

lol, I don't know Hurshy... are you walking to the kitchen or the shop?

6:42 am

City 17 dweller

outarc

6:42 am

hurshy

the shop, about a mile away

6:42 am

City 17 dweller

grr, sorry

6:42 am

hurshy

if it doesn't count, you don't have to be sorry

6:42 am

City 17 dweller

I reckon that's a donut's worth of walking, yes.

6:43 am

City 17 dweller

*grins* if it doesn't count, I always feel it's a waste of a slip

6:43 am

hurshy

the only trouble is that i live on a steep hill, so that at the very end of the walk, i have the worst bit. it always discourages me.

6:44 am

City 17 dweller

Tell yourself that's the donut part of the walk.

6:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

You can burn off the middle.

6:46 am

City 17 dweller

Time for lunch... enjoy your donut and your walk, Hurshy. Bye Kaplan and everyone.

6:49 am

Anniebrook

name that proper noun....rocker mr john

6:51 am

Anniebrook

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm here. I'm just wording.

6:53 am

Anniebrook

6:53 am

MollyL

Good morning all. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuits for all. Just egg and cheese for Kap.

6:53 am

MollyL

Elton!!

6:53 am

Anniebrook

ding ding ding

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't really like eggs andcheese. I'll have a bran muffin and coffee.

6:54 am

MollyL

Okay, fiber for Kap. I consider it a good day when I've found both the 9's before 8AM. : )

6:55 am

Anniebrook

good for you, Molly

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

I insist that we had these words yesterday.

6:56 am

MollyL

That bunch of e's makes it feel that way Kap.

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

this babble expert thing makes it too tempting to go to the list

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

But I realize I can hide it also.

7:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

I moved it to the left andnow I can't see it.

7:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

It is cool to have it right there though.

7:00 am

7:04 am

MollyL

The weather out here on the East coast is lovely. Should be a nice drive from the airport.

7:05 am

uusue2

nbt but all my words are short (no 7, 8, or 9)

7:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Obviously the 9's are compounds- I just haven't figuredout from where yet

7:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

No clues yet.

7:20 am

7:31 am

Anniebrook

bye uu, have a safe trip

7:31 am

MollyL

Mom, you and I think alike. When I got the al9, I was thinking a good clue would be "other personality of actress Blanchette". : )

7:31 am

Mom

that would have been a good clue Molly

7:31 am

Mom

bye bye ((uusue)) safe travels

7:33 am

MollyL

I agree with what Hursh said earlier. This many words and no "s" is tough.

jmcnrick

oops ca***** is in the grid

7:54 am

jmcnrick

damn *goes to pb*

7:55 am

hurshy

yes RNA - it's a game you play to help scientists

7:55 am

jmcnrick

ca4/5 and 5/12

7:55 am

MollyL

Some rule about names not sending you to the PB, JMC. I believe you are safe on that one.

7:55 am

jmcnrick

is it like the folding at home that crossy and I promote for everyone in babbleland?

7:56 am

periwinkle

hi all

7:56 am

welki

hi peri

7:56 am

periwinkle

thought up the idea of the PB in the first place?

7:56 am

hurshy

yeah, but you don't have to download this game like you do with Foldit.

7:56 am

MollyL

Someone who enjoys punishing Peri. : P

7:56 am

welki

what's the site, hurshy?

7:56 am

jmcnrick

i think the rule is that if the name is in the grid but not in the list you don't go

7:56 am

hurshy

google eterna if you want to check it out

7:57 am

welki

thanks

7:57 am

jmcnrick

i will do that hursh

7:57 am

MollyL

You are probably right JMC. I generally thumb my nose at rules, so I don't pay much attention to them. : )

7:57 am

jmcnrick

i think the pb is good clean fun and a helpful tool to remind newbies

7:58 am

jmcnrick

i know jacula and others would argue for it to be a harsh place but ...eh

7:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's fun to catch. Like saying the secret word on "You Bet Your Life" but instead of the duck and the 100 bucks, you get jail time.

7:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's a place to eat.

7:59 am

jmcnrick

*shoves molly into pb for ru4/5s*

Nope, I am not going to PB

But-but-but

Oh, I've used them all up - I traveled a lot to Europe when I was doing research there, but after I got divorced and was a single mom I had to take my son with me all the time; that used up the miles faster than I was earning them.

#1 computer maintinence tip of the day: if you are using a tower computer,once a month unplug it,take off side cover,ground yerself,remove 2 inch cpu fan that is over cpu chip(some have 4 screws,some are held on by a clip) and under that is the heat sink that the fan cools which in turn keeps your computers brain cool.cclean out the dust bunnies with a toothpick

4:08 pm

Soodle

The Chieftans are great, but Christy Moore is my favorite Irish singer/musician.

4:08 pm

MollyL

That's what I've heard Soodle. I think the origins have to do with Irish immigrants celebrating their heritage.

4:09 pm

Soodle

Yup. That makes sense, Moll. I was totally gob-smacked to see the carry-on in the States. (I loved every minute of it!!).

it's the combinations and permutations, kap

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They are all annoying after a certain point.

5:06 pm

Kallia

you going to finish do you think Glan?

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And it was not a real question.

5:07 pm

Soodle

In some grids, the words just jump out at you and say 'type me, type me'. Other grids, the words hide and lurk......

5:07 pm

Glantarell

probably not, there are going to bed noises coming from the other room so i can finally settle down

5:07 pm

Kallia

ah, on edge...understandable

5:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know- I just repeat that after a certain point, they are all annoying.

5:08 pm

Glantarell

and annoyed!

5:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

a grid is a grid is a grid

5:08 pm

Kallia

something happened, apart from the obvious Glan?

5:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

not really. I'm just babbling.

5:08 pm

Glantarell

just selfishness and insensitivity

5:09 pm

Kallia

couldn't agree more kap

5:09 pm

Kallia

nothing new then Glan

5:09 pm

Glantarell

nothing new - it's just that i have had a break for a while so it felt more annoying

5:10 pm

Kallia

yep makes sense ;(

5:10 pm

Glantarell

Still the chair is just as comfy in my room as it was downstairs.

5:11 pm

Kallia

I meant to ask you, how on earth did you get it up the stairs?

5:11 pm

Soodle

Trying to decipher the chog here... Are you talking spouses or offspring?

5:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My kids take that bus all the time.

5:35 pm

Soodle

The footage coming through from Japan is just shockingly unbelievable. Those poor people.

5:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Then a family was murdered in the occupied territories- the parents, the 3 year old, the 4 month old, the 11 year old- two or three kids survived

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Japan is sickening to behold. Buildings cars and boats and people engulfed

5:36 pm

Soodle

Whats the occupied territories, Kap?

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Israel/Palestine. They were settlers.

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Horror is apolitical.

5:38 pm

Shirlockc

5:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They were all knifed in their sleep. The kid coming home from some kind of school trip found them. Blood everywhere.

5:39 pm

Sorry, it''s too disgusting.

5:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne
