Good to see you too, flosey. Have been trying to deal with some of the things that haunt me. Med changes are interesting.

How nice ... lows in the forties and still waiting for leaves on the deciduous ... more sun and higher temps would be so good for the soul.

1:43 am

mrpresident

I can't believe how much biatching these year 9 girls do!! and other girls stand around laughing at the bullying

1:43 am

o-o

Hello, Mr.P

1:44 am

flosey

ah, real mean, heartless

1:44 am

o-o

Bullying is epidemic and so, so tragic for so many.

1:45 am

flosey

so true

1:46 am

mrpresident

too right BR... my daughter knows how to keep them at bay, but then the bully goes for her friends who are not so strong at dealing with it... she just hates that other people stand around and laugh at the bullying and think it is 'cool'... or they are shite scared of the bully and just laugh along so they don't get picked on.

1:46 am

mrpresident

anyone, anyone bully my kids, and they have me to deal with.... and that is not pretty!!

1:47 am

1:50 am

jillibus

How about square dancing?

1:50 am

flosey

wow, what fun indeed

1:51 am

jillibus

mrp, I was visiting my son and his family, partly to attend my d-i-l's production of the Merchant Of Venice (with my son's set designs), and partly to celebrate my immient birthday.

1:51 am

mrpresident

darn... phantom sabre

1:53 am

flosey

ah, so son also clever artist

1:54 am

jillibus

also a ballet performance and staying up far too late chatting with my grandson and granddaughter and their opposite numbers, plus a friend of my grandson's who comes from India (their all in their late 20s and early 30s)

1:54 am

mrpresident

oh wonderful jilli!! that is great to have a clever and artistic man in the family... and congrats on yet another year!!

1:55 am

jillibus

oh yes, flosey -- and an excellent writer too, wasting his sweetness on the desrt air.

1:56 am

jillibus

and I whould mention the Gallus Brothers band from Bellingham, WA -- huge fun.

1:57 am

jillibus

And one of the best things is that there's a new route to Mission which is a breeze and cuts the travel time by about half an hour!

1:58 am

jillibus

My GPS found it for me.

1:58 am

jillibus

Now I'm going to get myslef a nightcap. Brb.

1:59 am

flosey

Gallus Bros. auto harp, guitar, bass?

2:05 am

flosey

I'm stuck on one word, ed6, any clues?

2:05 am

jillibus

No -- guitar(s), mandolin, percussion with washboard, suitcase, tin cans, sticks, whatever edge

2:06 am

flosey

wow, I googled the name, perhaps the same, they also seemed to use other noisemakers

2:06 am

jillibus

I just got and adverb related to a rim...

2:07 am

jillibus

*an adverb

2:07 am

flosey

ty jilli, that did it

2:07 am

flosey

fireworks

2:08 am

flosey

never would have found it! sounds odd

2:10 am

jillibus

I'll check Google...woohoo flosey! (And the Goodle entry does sound like them -- I'll check YouTube too)

2:12 am

flosey

I like your icon - knew immediately who is was for

2:12 am

Trifioso

hello friends. anyone else sitting up all night with a barfing child, or is that just me?

2:13 am

flosey

ah Trif, sorry to hear

2:14 am

jillibus

good, flosey -- I have one for Sunday too but it's kind of over -- maybe I'll post it later on

2:14 am

mrpresident

hi trif!! been there, done that... don't like it at all! do you have peppermint tea that you can sugar up??

2:14 am

flosey

just finished the grid, have been chatting with Jilli and mrp

2:14 am

mrpresident

some maxolon would help too

2:14 am

jillibus

Poor Trif -- poor child!

2:14 am

Trifioso

thank goodness I have the day off tomorrow! mind you, my plans to super crank on the house and clean it top to bottom are fading fast....

2:14 am

mrpresident

buscopan is also good

2:15 am

jillibus

the house can wait

2:15 am

mrpresident

poor trif! **hugs**

2:15 am

flosey

those names are not familiar to me, mrp, what is it?

2:15 am

Trifioso

I dont have any peppermint tea that I can think of, and I don't know what those other two things are, mrp - other types of tea?

2:16 am

flosey

when we were kids, we were given flat gingerale - hate the taste of the stuff to this day

2:16 am

jillibus

my mother used to have barley water when she was seasick but I thought it was revoldting so wouldn't recommendit.

2:18 am

Trifioso

orange barley water is okay. my kids LOVED drinking that when we were in ireland

2:18 am

jillibus

I would think anything that makes water palatable would be good to prevent dehydration.

2:20 am

Trifioso

LOLOL - tertiare just asked me if she had to go to school tomorrow, and I playfully asked her "is that why you did this" and she ZINGED back "I can't control this, ElizaBeth!" ----> thinking we are past the worst of it

2:22 am

jillibus

How oldis she, trif?

2:22 am

Trifioso

11

2:22 am

mrpresident

buscopan is for upset tummy, maxolon is for vomitting

2:23 am

Trifioso

but at least 25 in sass years

2:23 am

mrpresident

I just make my recipe chicken soup and it sorts it all out!!

2:23 am

jillibus

I see, trif, I see!

2:24 am

Trifioso

are those types of medicine, then, mrp?

2:24 am

jillibus

mrp, thise things probably have different names here

2:24 am

mrpresident

yes trif... buscopan is over the counter

2:24 am

mrpresident

maxolon is specifically for nausea and got via script

2:25 am

mrpresident

ah yeah, look them up on google to see if they have different names

2:25 am

Trifioso

hmmm. I am thinking we have something like that called compazine

2:25 am

mrpresident

I just know when the runs/vomits start, they help very much

2:27 am

jillibus

2:28 am

I'm working from the top down but I like the idea of what you do, mrp

2:38 am

jillibus

mrp, you mustn't stop eating!

2:39 am

jillibus

Lovely, flosey, and such a good writeup.

2:39 am

mrpresident

jilli, I have and it is just horrid... so so difficult to eat

2:40 am

jillibus

can you manage to swallow some of thise canned nutrition things that are like sort of milk shakes?

2:40 am

jillibus

is this all because of that creep?

2:49 am

rubyfoo

good morning!

2:49 am

jillibus

hi ruby!

2:51 am

rubyfoo

why aren't you eating, mrp?

2:51 am

rubyfoo

helo jilli

2:51 am

jillibus

brb -- must get my bedtime snack (baby banana and milk)

2:52 am

jillibus

mrp seems to have disappeared

2:52 am

jillibus

maybe a phone call or a visitor

2:52 am

rubyfoo

that is perfect for sleeping, jilli, better than drugs

2:53 am

jillibus

It also seems to prevent leg cramps, ruby

2:54 am

rubyfoo

the potassium in the bananas

2:54 am

rubyfoo

and the milk for sleeping

2:54 am

rubyfoo

I eat a soft-boiled egg on toast for sleeping

2:55 am

jillibus

yep

2:55 am

jillibus

that sounds soothing, ruby

2:55 am

jillibus

but the banana is easier!

2:55 am

jillibus

oh goody, over halfway

2:56 am

grandy

one third for me

2:56 am

rubyfoo

hello grandy

2:56 am

jillibus

hello grandy!

2:57 am

grandy

Hello to all.... just popping in... staying up with a cough.. disturbs the hubby

2:57 am

jillibus

I was driving through Maple Ridge this weekend on my way to Mission. Haven't seen you much here.

2:57 am

jillibus

On my way back to Salt Spring too...

2:58 am

rubyfoo

aah, husband is back with the groceries. See you in a bit, if anybody is here

2:58 am

rubyfoo

1/3 so far

2:58 am

grandy

No not much... I am usually doing other things or getting imterupted. I pop in when up late like to night. NO one to interupt.

2:58 am

jillibus

I was wondering what was keeping you up so late

2:58 am

jillibus

ttfn ruby!

2:59 am

grandy

I have had this darn cough for several weeks... my hubby has had the sinus infection, the wee son a cough too. just the virus and the rain. It will all go away soon. the 125 recently in prescriptions will help too.

3:00 am

jillibus

I think the 125 will be worth it, grandy

3:01 am

jillibus

Been there, done that.

3:01 am

jillibus

This "spring" has been so dreary and depressing.

3:02 am

grandy

Yes, actually already seeing some relief. Tried evey thing else, neo citran, nyquils, etc... homeopath too. But after a few weeks I just gave in and we all went to Dr. All had something a little differnt though.

3:02 am

jillibus

Homeopathiid "medicine" is quackery.

3:02 am

grandy

The spring is very much like last year only more wet. I just seen on TV that the town of Slave Lake is on fire.. from an out of control wild fire.

3:03 am

jillibus

I heard that on the news as I was driving to the ferry

3:04 am

grandy

The pictures are quite stunning.... over 100 building so far and it is out of control. I can not imagine.

3:05 am

jillibus

I haven't had the TV on -- was catching the 9:35 pm ferry to Long Harbour and came to Babble almost as soon as I got home.

3:06 am

grandy

It is always good to get home and rest in doing something familiar.

3:07 am

jillibus

but I'm running out of steam now

3:07 am

grandy

Ah a long day and a dull ferry ride home... It must be very relaxing in your area

3:08 am

jillibus

It's lovely here

3:09 am

jillibus

but I had a great weekend with my family in Mission

3:09 am

grandy

Hmm... we spent over 3 months last year in Parksville. going for one week at the end of this month. Looking forward to the ocean peace

3:10 am

grandy

Family is why we came back to MR. No family or family doctors over there and we need family support.

3:11 am

jillibus

I hear Parksville is very nice too -- we looked at it when we were contemplating a move here from the Montreal area but hubby's brother was on Salt Spring, plus other friends, so...but now they've all left and hubby never made it.

3:12 am

grandy

oh my.. good to know that you are settled and happy there though.

3:12 am

jillibus

WE looked at MR too but there wasn't anything available that suited us then.

3:13 am

grandy

it really is nice to pick and choose where you want to live. We are happy with our decision. But if most of the family were to move to Parksville because they like it oo... we would likely follow.

3:13 am

jillibus

Well the brother and friends are now in Victoria -- and one is in Parksville!

3:14 am

mrpresident

sorry, had to go away for a little time with lickety... back now to finish this grid

3:15 am

grandy

That is great you can visit and enjoy in many great places and spaces

3:15 am

jillibus

I have a good life and friends here now after 15 years.

3:15 am

grandy

Good to see you MRP

3:15 am

mrpresident

you too grandy **hugs**

3:15 am

grandy

this grid is starting to spell things that just are not there.

3:16 am

jillibus

glad to see you back, mrp -- I had asled if you have tried those nutritious canned milk shake sort of things -- also if your lack of appetitie has been cause by that crepp. You mustn't let him win that way.

3:17 am

jillibus

Scuse the typos!

3:18 am

mrpresident

yeah, like reassembly!!

3:19 am

grandy

mrp i missed something... are you ill?

3:20 am

mrpresident

grandy, check out the bio in my profile... have had a hell of a few months

3:21 am

jillibus

so can you decipher my questions at 3:16, mrp?

3:23 am

grandy

oh my darling... you will go to the top of my prayer list.... keep smiling.. it confuses everyone.

3:24 am

mrpresident

thank you grandy! all the prayers have been working for us! we have been coming through really well and had a lot of luck come our way

3:25 am

mrpresident

still need to deal with court, but that will be in 5 weeks

3:26 am

grandy

This grid has my eyes almost closing so will go to bed and cross my fingers not to cough. That "good" cough syrup really works.

3:26 am

jillibus

I guess you're not going to answer my questions. Anyway -- all the best of luck, mrp, and I have to go to bed now!

3:26 am

mrpresident

and of course a couple of weeks till operation

3:26 am

mrpresident

jilli, what was the question??

3:26 am

jillibus

see 3:16, mrp!

3:26 am

mrpresident

i see the question

3:27 am

mrpresident

I have been having protein shakes and eating small amounts of dinner that I have made... but I only eat once a day.
I need to get 'sustigen' (spelling?) to help maintain my strength

3:28 am

mrpresident

sustagen... sustigen... sustegin... it is hospital grade

3:29 am

grandy

basically sustenance in a can. Relax and breathe before eating too

3:29 am

jillibus

glad to hear about "sustigen" -- another unfamiliar name but I'm glad it exists. You've had SO much stress -- and now the imminent op...wow!

3:30 am

mrpresident

well, the drugs are helping until then, and the weekly visits to psych

3:30 am

mrpresident

I will be claiming it all through the courts for punative damages

3:31 am

grandy

may the fleas of a thousand camels infect his armpits.

3:31 am

mrpresident

the broken foot is bothering me the most at the moment! LOL!! and yet I keep working

3:31 am

jillibus

I second that, grandy!

3:31 am

mrpresident

thank you grandy!! I believe a curse has been put on our family, so am willing to have curses placed elsewhere

3:32 am

mrpresident

thanks jilli **hugs**

3:33 am

jillibus

heal well, mrp -- and I must go now before my head hits the keyboard...bye for now...*poof*

3:33 am

4:06 am

granadan

I have just learned that there's a spate of robberies in these little villages on our side of the lake

4:35 am

berri

4:38 am

rubyfoo

are you new , berri?

4:42 am

Jivingjenny0

can you clue the i for me please

4:42 am

rubyfoo

id4/5 something you worship and plural

4:43 am

rubyfoo

id4/7 sat by id** wtching, not doing anything

4:43 am

rubyfoo

hi jenny

4:43 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks ruby, brilliant - what about the 9?

4:44 am

rubyfoo

9 is from the 5, be5/18 biblical term for having children. then, one who does that and plural

4:44 am

rubyfoo

you realize, don't you, that I am one of the worst players on here!

4:46 am

Jivingjenny0

well, thats as may be, you have just given me 6 words in two clues!! I shouldn't think many people could do that

4:46 am

rubyfoo

but I never finish, except if FM and Crossy help me

4:46 am

Jivingjenny0

also I think I'm hopeless - sometimes I can't even get near to half way.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad to help

4:47 am

rubyfoo

my goals are half way and nbt. That's all. I don't list because I don't see the point

4:48 am

Jivingjenny0

I am English and it annoys me that enable does not allow some quite common English words but it allows other quite foreign ones!!

4:48 am

rubyfoo

but the treat, every morning, of looking at a new grid, is good enough for me!

4:48 am

Jivingjenny0

I agree with that I never list (well occasionally when my husband is watching football - too noisy to read!)

4:48 am

rubyfoo

We are an hour apart, and the enable choice seem arbitrary tp me; some French words are accepted and many foods, but not all, and I can't see a pattern

4:49 am

rubyfoo

and my typing is poopy!

4:49 am

rubyfoo

when I give up, I just play lexulous

4:50 am

Jivingjenny0

I don't know France very well - do you live near the centre? I only really know the 1WW battle fields.

4:50 am

Jivingjenny0

what is lexulous

4:50 am

rubyfoo

I live one hur south of Geneva and 1 hr 1/2 from Lyon, near to Annecy

4:51 am

rubyfoo

lexulous is scrabble but after they resolved the copyright issues

4:51 am

Jivingjenny0

right, I can visulise that

4:51 am

rubyfoo

I am Nancy Kelley in FB and my e-mail is in my profile. If you want to play Lex, just friend me with your name and I'll challenge you

4:52 am

rubyfoo

in the foothills of the Alps, next to Lake Annecy

4:52 am

Jivingjenny0

I should think it is a good bit warmer there than here in Oxford. Last night we had to put a heater on as it was so cold.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

do you have googleEarth

4:53 am

Jivingjenny0

I will make a note of that and try later, I'm supposed to be doing housework at the moment!!!

4:53 am

rubyfoo

it is really cold here right now, too, I think my figs will all fall off. We needed heat last night, but don't have much and it would have been too much trouble

4:53 am

Jivingjenny0

Yes I have google earth

4:54 am

rubyfoo

housework? haha. I just had a fight with my husband and am hiding in my studio, prior to going out to lunch.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

look up Annecy and then travel SE along the lake and find Veyrier du Lac. We are on Route de Morat, a pink house, and you can practically see my dogs in the garden

4:55 am

rubyfoo

this is not a strategic area, so goodleEarth comes quite low

4:55 am

Jivingjenny0

My husband has been very ill this last winter, but is now back to moving lawns for old ladies in the village - he's 72 but can't sit still

4:56 am

rubyfoo

my husband had a very bad year and a half; heart attack in Sept '09, dog attack in July '10 and pneumonia this winter. He is 85 and also can't sit still. He drives me crazy!

4:57 am

rubyfoo

even if you don't want to play scrab, send me an e-mail and we can correspond. You are probably my age....

4:57 am

rubyfoo

and I have great photos of dogs, house, mountains and garden

4:57 am

Jivingjenny0

I've been following you on the chog so I do know and understand your problems. I will look up google earth later but I shall have to poof now.

4:57 am

rubyfoo

my dogs and garden are my passions!

4:58 am

rubyfoo

me too

4:58 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:58 am

Jivingjenny0

I would love to email you, will do that later too.

How is Zach?

11:46 am

car.eeyore

He is hanging in. I gave him an Allegra yesterday afternoon and that did quiet the cough down a bit. I gave him the cough medicine with codeine at bedtime and he slept really well. I will be picking him up from school in 45 minutes.

This morning I saw 3 kids with seasonal allergy-induced nose/chest symptoms.

MollyL

My youngest never had a problem with seasonal allergies. Then last year, at age 18, he started having a mild problem. Nothing eye drops and Allegra can't handle though.

11:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Molly. Yep, we use nasal sprays (steroid or antihistamine) and eye drops.

11:53 am

MollyL

And Scrabs, our weather is the same as yours.

11:53 am

Scrabbler

It just makes me sluggish mentally and physically.

11:56 am

1:21 pm

ch1212

lol Molly! My bro went to a different HS (I was at the all-girl Catholic school) and the kids at his school came up with an 'alternate' song: Cheers, cheers to old Fairmont High, you bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye! Send all freshmen out for gin, don't let a sober senior come in!"

1:24 pm

MollyL

Now THAT'S a school song worth remembering.

It's a cross between boggle and scrabble. You enter words where the letters are touching like boggle, but the leeter values are like scrabble

Also don't put complete words into this chat log as this is used for chatting and giving clues only. Enjoy - it's addictive!

no Nan. he announced he would not run.

4:18 pm

cybernan

4:18 pm

this actually gives sarah a chance to come back in the spotlight with both huckabee and trump out.

4:20 pm

Uneaixoise

then there's Newt . . . ugh

4:21 pm

cosdem

newt has no chance. the nominee will be either mitt romney or mitch daniels

4:22 pm

cosdem

a flip flopper or the man who oversaw the federal budget under GW Bush. Obama has got to be smiling.

4:22 pm

Uneaixoise

4:23 pm

Palin wont drop out. not til fall. she needs the attention. but eventually she'll opt out for sure.

4:23 pm

cybernan

she should be treated like any other troll

6:27 pm

lil*monkey

6:28 pm

Dorens

6:30 pm

lil*monkey

actress Al*** Milano from Who's The Boss

6:30 pm

Dorens

hi kje

6:30 pm

lil*monkey

OMG dorens that's terrible

6:30 pm

MollyL

Lil, careful how you use the term "hook up". People will talk. : P

6:31 pm

lil*monkey

oh you're so right, Molly :)

6:31 pm

lil*monkey

oh you're so right, Molly :)

6:31 pm

Dorens

it's a generation thing molly

6:31 pm

kje

ty!

6:31 pm

lil*monkey

dcseain is already hooked up with someone anyway

6:31 pm

kje

people will not suspect dc

6:32 pm

MollyL

Next thing you know there will be rumors in Babbleonia about a torrid Dorens/DC hook up. : P : P Joking folks.

6:32 pm

lil*monkey

HA! That would be really funny

6:32 pm

kje

hard to suspect dorens either...

6:32 pm

lil*monkey

teehee

6:32 pm

kje

FW!

6:32 pm

Dorens

i have inspired many a ridiculous rumor ... in fact one even did take place on my high school washington trip. back in '67

6:33 pm

MollyL

You know how it goes on those school trips. The chaperones are usually the ones who get wild. (I am so bad)

6:33 pm

Dorens

don't forget, i'm a redhead... target of much speculation

6:33 pm

Dorens

yay kj!

6:33 pm

lil*monkey

oh do tell, dorens

6:33 pm

MollyL

Dorens! Sister Redhead. We are the wild ones.

6:33 pm

lil*monkey

LOL @ Molly

6:33 pm

kje

are redheads known to be bad?

6:34 pm

MollyL

Shamelessly kje.

6:34 pm

lil*monkey

Oh no! Not one but TWO fire crotches in da house

6:34 pm

kje

I thought it was blodes that started rumors

6:34 pm

kje

not me and monkey of course... we are angels, but other blodes

6:35 pm

Dorens

just a boy telling everyone that he had 'done it" with me. was not true. but he had been teased by a more sophisticated colleague and told that i was a likely one to try (hung out in greenwich village with those beatnik types). he was too embarrassed to say i'd turned him down, so......

6:35 pm

lil*monkey

you are blonde?

6:35 pm

MollyL

Oh my. Water ALL OVER the monitor. Thanks Lil.

6:35 pm

Dorens

blonde have more fun, but redheads are sinful!!!

6:36 pm

kje

dishwater i winter lighter in summer, yes

6:36 pm

lil*monkey

@Molly, I can't remember how that term got started, but it was to describe Lindsay Lohan

6:36 pm

Dorens

can't tell you how many men have confessed that they always harbored a secret yearning to have a redheaded woman... some kind of mystery they believe

6:37 pm

Dorens

never heard that before (fire crotch).. sheltered life up here in the woods

6:37 pm

kje

i have heard that dores... lucky you ; )

6:37 pm

lil*monkey

I think men have this fantasy that redheads are wild crazy kinky in bed

6:37 pm

Dorens

redhead= passion.. they think. me, I'll never tell ;)

6:37 pm

MollyL

*Waits for the Babble Gestapo to step in and censor*

6:38 pm

lil*monkey

I don't think there's a censor here...

6:38 pm

kje

OK, must get some work done... hagn all

6:38 pm

MollyL

*Joking*

6:38 pm

Dorens

shh !!! they aren't here molly

6:39 pm

MollyL

You know, for the longest time, when someone said "hagn all" I thought they were misspelling "hang". I'm not partial to abbreviations.

6:39 pm

lil*monkey

dorens what will you & your 8th graders do in DC?

6:39 pm

lil*monkey

LOL @ Molly

6:39 pm

MollyL

What's with the @ sign Lil?

6:40 pm

lil*monkey

I'm just saying I was laughing at what u said, Molly

6:40 pm

lil*monkey

if I just put LOL, you wouldn't know what I was laughing at

6:41 pm

Dorens

much too much for that short a time. wed afternoon, smithsonian, then vietnam, wwII and some other war memorial. dinner at reagan place.. then lincoln, jeff, roosevelt. thursday was supposed to be white house, arlington, capitol, etc. some dinner theater that nite, and then next morning to hershey park, then back home

6:41 pm

MollyL

DC is a great trip for kids. Lots of interesting things to see. My husband was from Canada and he was like a kid when he went downtown.

6:41 pm

MollyL

Oh Lord Dorens, bring your walking shoes.

6:42 pm

Dorens

yes it really should be lots of fun (@ molly)--but exhausting and weather doesn't look good

6:42 pm

lil*monkey

wow Dorens, that will be fun... the Vietnam Memorial is very sad :( I was there for the groundbreaking ceremony in the 80s, and then again for the dedication ceremony

6:42 pm

MollyL

Yes, bring your umbrella too.

6:43 pm

Dorens

i have very very comfy walking sandals and they will come in handy. yes, vietnam is, and i had a favorite cousin whose name is there. we used to write back and forth a lot. very sad for me

6:43 pm

Dorens

i was wondering about umbrella tho... with that much walking, hooded rain jacket might be easier

6:43 pm

lil*monkey

dorens, you can making a tracing of your cousin's name on the wall to keep

6:44 pm

lil*monkey

haha there was just a question about the Lincoln Memorial on Jeopardy

6:44 pm

Dorens

i know... i've seen his name there before, never thought about doing the tracing, but might do it.. in fact that reminds me I should go now and look him up so i can go right to the section... we were told today to do that, since our time schedule will be so tight when there

6:44 pm

MollyL

Yep, a hooded rain jacket would be better. I can't do sandals in rain. Don't like my feet slooshing around.

6:45 pm

lil*monkey

good idea, dorens... there are volunteers there to help do a tracing , actaully it's a "rubbing"

6:45 pm

MollyL

They have a directory there Dorens.

6:45 pm

Dorens

wow, that was fast... i got him

6:45 pm

lil*monkey

yes you're right about that, Molly

6:46 pm

Dorens

that is true about the sloshing... but i find thm so much more comfy than sneakers. guess i should bring both

6:46 pm

lil*monkey

dorens, hope u have a wonderful time... I must run now. Night evvyone!

6:47 pm

MollyL

If you have time (which it sounds like you won't) take them across the street to the statue of Einstein. It's awesome.

6:47 pm

Dorens

bye monkey. and yes, i'd love to see that molly. hope we ca

6:50 pm

jillibus

Hello all -- I wish I could go on with this one but it's bridge night and I can't. I have 100 words (got them last night when I got home) but no time today. It seems like a nice grid for a change.

6:50 pm

Dorens

oh too bad jili. yes it does seem nice.. i'm down to 23. well, at least you'll enjoy bridge

6:51 pm

jillibus

I hope I'll enjoy bridge! You never know!

6:52 pm

Dorens

presumably you enjoy whether you win or not ??

6:52 pm

jillibus

I'm behind in icons, I know, and will post the Sunday one now instead of the flower one for Monday -- just because I found it interesting.

6:53 pm

Dorens

so will you do flower tomorrow then?

6:53 pm

jillibus

I enjoy bridge, yes, whether my partner and I win or not, BUT... some games are more fund than others, depending on the cards you get and how well you communicate.

6:54 pm

Dorens

that makes sense. do you usually partner with the same person?

6:55 pm

jillibus

That sounds like a good idea, doren -- a flower one for me tomorrow. Then I'll catch up. But it looks as if we're running out of themes.

6:55 pm

uusue2

hi again, all, here for a couple of minutes before House starts (and the plumber comes back, sigh)

6:56 pm

jillibus

Yes, we have regular partners most of the time.

6:56 pm

Dorens

hi sue. no jili we could never run out of themes.. could just recycle... ?

6:56 pm

jillibus

Hi sue.

6:57 pm

uusue2

hi, dorens and jilli!

6:57 pm

jillibus

Well, it's up to sprite, who posts the themes. Maybe some more people could suggest some...(hint hint)

6:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

we have themes?

6:57 pm

Dorens

maybe she's getting ready to send it over to someone else? i haven't done themes in a while (too lazy) so don't know how i dare suggest them

6:58 pm

uusue2

hi, kap! I have my own personal themes :-)

6:58 pm

jillibus

See my profile, Kap. Yes, there are icon themes every day. Sprite collects suggestions and posts them. I copy them here because she is in such a different time zone. Flosey copies them too.

6:58 pm

Dorens

hi kap. sometimes they really are kind of fun. jili does them best tho, and she always has an interesting story to go along with the theme

6:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How did I miss this in the last year and a half?

6:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Where have I been?

6:59 pm

Dorens

oh my goodness.. just checked profile. on the 17th i'll be in DC on class trip so might not be babbling.. happy prebirthday jilly

6:59 pm

jillibus

I enjoy them -- it's fun to google them and find the info and a matching image.

7:00 pm

jillibus

Thank you, doren, and have a great time in DC. I'll never forget being taken there as an 8-year-old Brit kid who had never been to the USA.

7:01 pm

uusue2

are we talking the 17 th as in tomorrow??

7:02 pm

jillibus

Kap, I guess you never clicked on my icons! Or if you did, you didn't read the profile so didn't realise.

7:02 pm

jillibus

The 17th is Tuesday, yes.

7:02 pm

uusue2

<--- plans to remember that tomorrow is Jilli's birthday if that is the case

7:02 pm

Dorens

oh, i'm all messed up then... actually leaving on the 18th, but so much to do on the 17th Yes, DC is an awesome trip for kids

7:03 pm

uusue2

down to 22 but House is on, bbl!

7:03 pm

Dorens

fw! any clues needed?

7:04 pm

jillibus

Kap, if you use BabbleExpert, Lickety used to post a link to Icon Themes in "Resources", but it leads to someone (Babbler, in the UK) who doesn't do them any more. She does, however, give a link to Sprite's page. So do I.

7:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

so many things to think about...it taxes my brain

7:06 pm

jillibus

Must go now and post Sunday's icon (Danbo). I had to find out what that was all about!

that was a new one to me

8:23 pm

uusue2

di4/5 is a chemical compound but I don't usually add chemicals (partly because I often don't recognize them :-)

8:24 pm

uusue2

oh, maybe it's the ra4/5.

8:28 pm

uusue2

ok, ra4/5 is in the physics babblets now too :-)

8:31 pm

lbdawger

gi7 is a physics term? i thought he was Sullivan's partner!

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

8:31 pm

uusue2

well, as a physics term it's not a proper noun, so legal for the grid.

8:35 pm

Hi Shari...welcome

11:16 pm

ShariM276

ty

11:16 pm

Pinikula

...there are 152 words in this grid; however, it will flip to a new board in about 45 minutes...then you'll have 24 hours to find all of the words in the new puzzle...

11:16 pm

torgone

There are 152 today ..

11:16 pm

ShariM276

oy vey

11:17 pm

ShariM276

oh, I see where it says that now, lol

11:18 pm

Pinikula

the Tile Stats below the grid indicate the number of words coming from that partcular tile in the grid (i.e., the upper left T is T 0/2 (which means you need to find 2 words starting with a T from that tile))

11:18 pm

Pinikula

The Word States indicate the number of words of that word length (i.e., there are 74 4-ltr words)

11:19 pm

ShariM276

ahh, thank you

11:20 pm

mrpresident

hi pini and les :)

11:20 pm

mrpresident

bbl for flip, need a sleep!!

11:21 pm

LeslieAnn

hey mr. p

11:21 pm

Pinikula

If you're interested in using an aide to assist you, you can open Lickety's Babble Clues (link below the Tile Stats under Friends of Babble); right mouse on it and open it in a new window and put it and the grid side-by-side); the list will give you the first 2 letters of each word, it's length and point value)

11:21 pm

Pinikula

hi mrp ;)

11:21 pm

Pinikula

can still get another short nap in, mrp...we still have 40 minutes ;)

11:22 pm

ShariM276

oh ok, I'll do it on my own, but thanks

11:22 pm

Pinikula

If you hear people talking about 'the list'...that's what they're referring to ;)

11:22 pm

ShariM276

ok, thanks

11:24 pm

Pinikula

hope all that helped....good luck! :)

11:24 pm

ShariM276

thank you, you are a big help

11:26 pm

Pinikula

(last note: beware of flip, ppl will call out 'clues'...i.e., be5, gi7, etc.); those are hints on words found w/o going to the list...and sometimes they help in getting your eyes to 'see' things) :)

11:27 pm
